'Aw, geez, the people I've met and the places I've seenthe stories would make your head spin,' Horsted said. 'I've been from Lambeau Field to the Barhausen Waterfowl Preserve and every place in between. One time, one of the Packers even threw up in my cab, but I don't think I should say who.' With a little prodding, Horsted said the person's first name rhymes with 'baloney' and last name with 'sandwich.' 
3	CISA Systemic Domestic SpyingBy SARTRE Coercion for compliance from any resisting tech giant will provide the government with the brute force to muscle their way past any remnants of Fourth Amendment Bill of Right protections. The fact that there is so much enthusiasm in Congress to further gut civil liberties comes as no surprise but is frightening that the pushback is so weak. Senate overwhelmingly passes historic cybersecurity bill is reported by CNN accordingly, It took several tries, but on Tuesday the U.S. Senate approved a measure to help American companies work more closely with law enforcement to fight off hackers. The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) overwhelmingly passed with a vote of 74 to 21. The S.754 Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 summary is provided online. (Sec. 3) Requires the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Defense (DOD), and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to develop and promulgate procedures to promote: (1) the timely sharing of classified and declassified cyber threat indicators in possession of the federal government with private entities, non-federal government agencies, or state, tribal, or local governments; (2) the sharing of unclassified indicators with the public; and (3) the sharing of cybersecurity threats with entities to prevent or mitigate adverse effects. As with so much of the language used by government to sanitize the real functions of providing legal cover for unlawful practices by passing additional unconstitutional laws, CISA is a true Trojan horse. Regretfully, your virus protection will not protect your computer content or privacy. This is how the mainstream media is framing the so called intent and purpose of the legislation. U.S. Senate approves measure to help companies work with law enforcement to fight hackers. The bill calls for real-time sharing. Companies in a hurry might not wipe the data enough before law enforcement gets it, expanding how much they know about Americans. Those jumbles of code known as cyber threat indicators could still be revealing about Americans daily lives. DHS isnt allowed to wipe personal data if another agency, like NSA, objects. And even though law enforcement is only allowed to collect cyber threat indicators, cops can use them to investigate an imminent threat of death, bodily harm, economic harm and terrorist acts. It creates the wrong impression about what this bill does, said Jeff Greene, a top policy attorney at Symantec who wants that language cut out of the bill. Perhaps most importantly, companies that share too much and accidentally harm their customers are protected from lawsuits. A key provision in CISA is the complete elimination of liability for companies that share data. Last week, U.S. Senator Rand Paul warned, It makes your privacy agreement not worth the paper its written on. The Presidential campaign for Rand Paul falters not because he is wrong about defending personal liberty, but because so many Americans are oblivious or reconciled to the treason of the District of Criminal political class. Disconnect is obvious and grows worse with each passing year and little ever improves. Actually, it is hard to remember when the last time a true victory came out of the Federal government. CISA is a prime example of public apathy in an environment of voluntary Facebook disclosure using the countenance of PC algorithm censorship. Objection to additional violations of privacy measures that confuse the masses, while empowering the authoritarians further is expressed in the reasoned position by the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Their assessment is spot on in, EFF Disappointed as CISA Passes Senate. The conference committee between the House of Representatives and the Senate will determine the bills final language. But no amount of changes in conference could fix the fact that CISA doesnt address the real cybersecurity problems that caused computer data breaches like Target and the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The passage of CISA reflects the misunderstanding many lawmakers have about technology and security. Computer security engineers were against it. Academics were against it. Technology companies, including some of Silicon Valleys biggest like Twitter and Salesforce, were against it. Civil society organizations were against it. And constituents sent over 1 million faxes opposing CISA to Senators. If so many tech companies and factions express their opposition to this draconian legislation and can be ignored so easily, how can average Americans protect their most personal information? Well, the most basic common sense safeguard is to be extremely guarded with any aspect of your life that is freely placed online. In an age of computerization germinating into an artificial intelligence matrix of human replacement, the cause of maintaining the essence of individual identity may well require carving out a wilderness reclusive retreat. However, how many people will drive their Range Rover with GPS tracker and an iPhone to their secret hideaway? Most people are acclimated to the socialization of popular culture. Addicted to smart phone trivia is a prime exemplar of technology gone awry. Nevertheless, the notion that devices are neutral and are not often designed to embody intrinsic dehumanization is a foreign concept to the trendy crowd. However, that is exactly where high-tech corporatists are herding the sheeple into the pit of self-induced conformity and submission. Here is where the security hysteria of government imposition tyranny becomes routine in a society that has lost all self-respect. When Edward Snowden warns that The NSA has built an infrastructure that allows it to intercept almost everything, CISA encodes an unconstitutional legality for a domestic spying integration with tech companies and ISP providers that expedites the collection and storage of electronic digital data on ANYONE. This is the operational purpose of despotic agencies that once were charged with legitimate foreign intelligence gathering that has redirected their capabilities on their new enemy Patriots, now called domestic terrorists. The hidden translation in their ciphers is that citizen dissenters are the targets of their echelon antennae and dishes. The use of StingRay, an IMSI-catcher (International Mobile Subscriber Identity), is a controversial cellular phone surveillance device that fits nicely under the CISA umbrella. Now that it is disclosed, IRS possessed Stingray cellphone surveillance gear, documents reveal; isnt it convenient that CISA will indeed facilitate sharing for the benefit of added government control. No doubt DHS can be trusted? RIGHT . . . just like the IRS did not target conservative groups. People need to get serious about the number one threat from the terror coming out of their own government. Congressional arrogance and Senate hubris in passing CISA has become the new normal. Close behind are the likes of Facebook, who may be the secret force behind the surveillance bill CISA. This is the future of the total surveillance state. Those corporatist companies that actively seek to extract the substance of personal identity for use as a marketing asset need to be exposed and punished for their betrayal of trust. When Mark Zuckerberg once called Facebook users dumb f*cks for trusting him with their data, he exposed himself for the scumbag that he is. Technology of personal privacy destruction is a curse. Marry that engineering with the insatiable appetite of the NSA Spying on Americans, and you have a formula for a system of individual identity obliteration. Establishing and instituting legitimate cybersecurity is a function of inventing and fostering the actual solutions to protect the nation, its businesses and the public. Rewarding a corporate accord for disclosing real time information to the DHS with blanket liability immunity is one additional step towards a complete Fascist union. Even if the Fourth Amendment is not a top priority for government worshipers, the dehumanization of ones own dignity should give pause for anyone who still has the ability to look in the mirror. CISA only protects the power establishment as it exposes and exploits your inner most secrets.

1	A local resident's search for a public bathroom became an epic odyssey of alienation, humiliation, and human cruelty Monday. Webster revisits one of the many establishments to reject him during his harrowing ordeal. 'You have no idea what I've been through,' said Pete Webster, 27, recovering from the harrowing ordeal in his apartment. 'From endless 'Bathroom For Paying Customers Only' signs to toilets so disgusting they're unsuitable for vomiting, I saw it all.' Webster's bathroom search began at approximately 1:15 a.m., 30 minutes after leaving Burrito Bob's, where he consumed a double enchilada platter and a 32-ounce Pepsi. Though he felt fine upon exiting the popular late-night eatery, he soon felt an overwhelming need to defecate. 'I should've gone at Burrito Bob's,' said Webster, who had spent the night barhopping with friends. 'But I didn't have to go when I left. Besides, I figured I could always just dart into a gas station or some 24-hour restaurant and do the deed.' 'What I failed to factor in,' Webster continued, 'is the unfathomable darkness of the human soul.' Rather than head back to his west-side apartment, a 25-minute walk from the downtown area, Webster made the fateful decision to search for a public restroom. His first stop was the Rite-Aid 24-hour pharmacy on West Gentry Street. Asking for the bathroom, he was told by a cashier that the facilities were for employee use only. 'I offered to buy a candy bar or something, but this bitch cashier said that wouldn't make any difference,' Webster said. 'How could a drugstore not have a public bathroom? Explain that one to me. Isn't public health in the interest of a drugstore? What's a more basic public-health issue than having to take a shit?' The pressure on his bowels steadily building, Webster was able to obtain the key to the men's room of an Amoco gas station on Kellogg Avenue at 1:50 a.m. But an unspeakable horror awaited him. 'The toilet was backed up, and sewage had slopped over the lid of the toilet onto the floor,' Webster said. 'There was no toilet paper, no soap, no paper towels, and no stall door. Still, I decided to go for it.' The alienated Webster stands on the outside, looking in. Gingerly attempting to hover above the bowl without making contact, Webster stopped himself when he was suddenly overcome by a fear of splashback. He promptly returned the key to the gas-station attendant. 'I told the guy the restroom was unusable,' Webster said. 'He gave me this look, like I was acting like some sort of diva.' Unable to find a place to defecate, Webster decided to give himself partial relief by urinating. Even this effort, however, brought nothing but torment and pain. 'I snuck behind a tree to piss, but I couldn't get the piss going without the rest coming out, too,' Webster said. 'Sometimes, I can take a piss when I actually have to do more, but this time it would've been too much to hold back.' At 2:10 a.m., Webster encountered a group of Iowa State University students, who directed him to the school's student union. 'They said, 'Oh, yeah, there's a bunch of bathrooms in [the union]. Just head a few blocks down Marston and take a right at 12th Street, you can't miss it,'' Webster said. 'When I got there, the whole place was lit up. I can't tell you how happy I was running up the steps of that building.' The building was locked, closed since midnight. 'When I saw the union was closed, I started thinking about that one guy who was having a hard time keeping a straight face while the other rattled off the directions,' Webster said. 'I guess they decided to have a little fun at my expense. I didn't know them, and they didn't know me. It was just a bit of senseless, cruel fun. I guess they didn't realize they were toying with a broken, desperate man.' The student-union episode was followed by several more spirit-crushing glimpses into the howling void. Webster encountered a Port-A-Potty in a local park which turned out to be padlocked, was denied restroom access by the acerbic employees of a bail-bonds office, and came across a convenience-store restroom dubiously declared 'out of order' by a makeshift sign scrawled on notebook paper. Finally, at 2:45 a.m., Webster decided to accept defeat and begin the 25-minute walk home. Within moments of opening the apartment door, relief was his. 'In retrospect, I should've just gone home right at the start,' Webster said. 'But I really thought it'd be faster to find a place downtown than to walk home. Even when I hit the one-hour mark, I still thought I'd find one any second. That's the thing about bathroom searches: No matter how bad it's going, you still think some mythical golden stall with a clean seat and a fresh roll of paper is just around the corner.' The ordeal has given Webster new perspective on society's treatment of outsiders. 'Before last night, I never realized what second-class citizens people without ready access to toilets are,' Webster said. 'I'll tell you one thing: If I ever encounter someone in that situation, I will not put them through this. I'll let them use my own toilet, or personally drive them around until we find a halfway-decent crapper.' 
1	A five-minute sampling of Hindi-language channel Zee TV stretched into a five-hour Indian TV marathon for Craig Mieritz, 23, Monday. 'I have no idea what's going on, but I can't turn it off,' the channel-flipping Mieritz said about a colorful, frenetic musical number on the soap opera Tum Bin Jaaoon Kahaan. 'Maybe I'll just watch another minute...' Following the soap, Mieritz watched a Hindi pop variety show, 11 music videos, and the three-hour Bollywood epic Khuda Gawah, the remote in his hand the entire time. 
2	Obama Administration Threatening Ben Carsons Career Dr. Ben Carson gained national support when he made the decision to criticize President Obama during the National Prayer Breakfast last year. And Obama had a front row seat to the show. Now, Carson is coming forward with information that he actually received a phone call from event organizers following the event, asking him to apologize. The conversation, which is detailed in the former neurosurgeons book, allegedly happened just moments after the conclusion of the event. The unnamed member of the White House called him to say that the organization was upset. He/she then went on to request that Carson call Obama and apologize for offending the president. Luckily, Carson refused to back down. He responded by stating that he did not agree that he had offended the president, claiming that the president even shook his hand. Still, attendees report that the president appeared uncomfortable during the speech. What do you think? Do you support Carsons statement? 
2	Black Student President Forced To Resign After Mocking White Peers The suspension of a former student body present at one of the nations most expensive prep school has sparked debate. Maya Peterson, a 17 year old student, was forced to resign from her position in student government after mocking her white peers. The scandal is ironic, given that Peterson stated that she wanted to create a truly unified and diverse community during her election. That desire did not stop her from posting an insulting image of herself online, impersonating male students at her school. According to reports, the image was designed to criticize the students for being white and Republican. The photo was accompanied by insulting hashtags, including #confederate, #romney2016, and #peakedinhighschool. Both students and faculty took offense to the image, and within weeks Peterson was asked to resign from her position. Youre the student body president, and youre mocking and blatantly insulting a large group of the schools male population, a commenter wrote on the photo after it was posted. Petersons comment back to the student did little to alleviate the tension. Yes, I am making a mockery of the right-wing, confederate-flag hanging, openly misogynistic Lawrentians. If thats a large portion of the schools male population, then I think the issue is not with my bringing attention to it in a lighthearted way, but rather why no one has brough attention to it before Still, Peterson claims that the photo was a joke that was intended to be a response to backlash over her senior photo, which showed her and 10 of her classmates in a Black Power salute. Peterson, the schools first black, female student body president, responded with a message that likely only heightened tensions. After Obamas election spurred comments from concerned citizens, Peterson took to social media to say, As a black and Latino, gay woman in the United States of America, today is a momentous day. Im sorry to all the rich white men who have failed to elect a president that endorses their greed. I understand why I hurt peoples feelings, but I didnt become president to make sure rich white guys had more representation on campus, Peterson told reporters, Lets be honest. Theyre not the ones that feel uncomfortable here. What do you think? Was forcing Petersons resignation justified? Were her comments inappropriate? 
3	The American War Machine Finally Stopped Pretending to Care About Your SafetyOp-Ed by Claire Bernish The Islamic State (ISIS) has become a key threat in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan and is involved in exporting terrorism to Europe, Africa, and elsewhere. The recent tragic bombings in Paris, Beirut, Mali, the Sinai Peninsula, and other places have emboldened nations to join in the fight against terrorism, reads the report from the accounting firm Deloitte. Several governments affected by these threats are increasing their defense budgets to combat terrorism and address sovereign security matters, including cyber-threats. For defense contractors, this represents an opportunity to sell more equipment and military weapons systems. Spending in the defense sector experienced a downturn, the report explains, because of the 2011 Budget Control Act (BCA), the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, and a similar Congressional action in late 2015. But investors can now breathe a sigh of relief, as Deloitte predicts an upturn in defense spending this year, thoughfuture budget increases will depend on continued bipartisan agreement to reduce or eliminate the effects of the sequestration brought about by the US BCA. In other words, as long as politicians push sufficiently to thwart congressional measures intended to rein in frivolous Pentagon spending, the war machine also known as the military-industrial complex will indeed be flourishing in no time. For investors, at least, and the industries built around developing effective ways to kill people, the gloomy days of doubting astronomical profit-making have drawn to a close. Not that there was cause for such concerns in the first place. One glance at the reports chart shows the top 25 nations military spending in 2014 totaled a whopping $1,747,000,000,000. But even more tellingly, the United States $609.9 billion budget totaled more than those of China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, France, the U.K., India, and Germany, combined. Military industries and their investors exist solely because of war. Consequently, they thrive on the suffering of entire populations around the world making their exuberance over revenue growth thats expected to take a positive turn because the resurgence of global security threats, a tellingly shallow commentary on the profit-driving factor underlying world conflict. Helping the effort along are defense industry lobbyists, such as the deceptively-named Americans for Peace, Prosperity, and Security, which recently congratulated itself for driving the debate on foreign policy during the 2016 presidential election by pushing candidates on national security. Evidence of its startling effectiveness became clear in the December 15 GOP debate, when various hawkish terms dominated both questions from moderators and candidates responses: A multi-pronged endeavor to keep the U.S. and the world perpetually at war seems destined to ensure that fate and as long as profit fuels the effort, it will succeed.

3	Before You Call Animal Control...Heather Callaghan Finally, someone walked up to speak some sense into him to speak of the futility of it all. This is insane, there are millions of Sea Stars here, youll never save them. What you are doing here it doesnt matter The boy picked another up and chucked it back into the sea. It mattered to that one, he said. That story is popular among church pastors maybe they all heard it in seminary. But one version Ive never heard is how the boy called animal control to drive over them with a land rover, scoop them up and incinerate them. That might sound absurd, but a few morals can be drawn from the original story: 1) your choices matter greatly your protection matters to the vulnerable; 2) You steer the ship, you have the ability. Doing something or being the change starts with little things, sometimes in your own backyard. Washing our hands of it is an attitude that may have gotten us into the seemingly insurmountable mess were in today; 3) Even just one being helped, instead of outsourcing that responsibility to bigger conglomerates and being naive of the dire consequences to them is a big deal. The evolution of animal control in the U.S. has been around as a part of governance since the 1800s. Now the lines between police and local animal control have been blurred, as animal control is most often a part of police departments (sometimes parks and rec or the health department). This doesnt necessarily apply to other entities that deal with nuisance wildlife for which an application and commercial license is required and sanctions the use of chemicals and weapons with silencers. (If you try to deal with wildlife on your own terms, you will get some serious heat from the DNR and get slapped with serious charges). You can determine if an animal is dangerous, injured or safe its not that hard. But make a phone call over some feral kittens and you dont know whether they will be relocated with care or executed on site in front of children. Animal control officers are compelled to have at least 80 hours of training with the National Animal Care Control Association (NACA, formed in 1978) which includes euthanasia, chemical immobilization, and using a bite-stick. (The kitten execution was considered acceptable euthanasia by the police chief) Again, this often amounts to controlling the animal, possibly destroying it or handing it off. When an officer shoots a dog, an animal control officer might show up to write a report. Sometimes they or the officer kill loose animals on site. The claim of officer safety is becoming an overused excuse to shoot and the threat often turns out to be untrue. It should be noted that the incident with the kittens probably would not be endorsed by the NACA, even though it was done by a humane officer. NACA claims to seek professionalism through their training. But check out a part of their mission statement:We believe only carefully selected and properly trained animal control personnel can correct community problems resulting from irresponsible animal ownership. Really? And really? Furthermore, animal control works in tandem with rescue societies and shelter groups so it appears that one way or another, lost or abandoned animals often wind up there. There is no such thing as a no-kill shelter no matter how friendly it appears. When over-housed, animals can end up down the road at a shelter that will kill them. More buck passing that makes the original donor feel warm and fuzzy. In either house, if they are sick, old-ish, aggressive or among the hated-breed-of-the-decade, they are either declined or killed. Here is just one citys description of the animal control department (which consists of a full-time officer). Thewhole of it is even more reprimanding and ominous, but here is just an excerpt: Yet in an ironic twist, they want this responsibility and dependence to remain with the officer. But its all your fault! And please do think twice before calling them on your neighbors dog. It might not be pets who violate the law, but they just might pay for it. (Its your fault we shot it! give me a break!) Im not advocating that you dont alert someone if there is a dangerous animal on the loose. Im also not suggesting that rounding up animals, some of them diseased and dangerous is easy, or that you should take that risk. And wardens, of course, have helped a lot of people reunite with their pets. Im saying that state-sponsored killing happens and its okay to use discernment and take initiative with abandoned animals (or talking to your neighbor about his pet first) instead of making a phone call you might later regret. What started out as a service for people has gotten out of control. A stray dog showed up on my property last week. I know it was heaven-sent, so to speak. Where did it come from? Why this yard? How did it know it would find help here? It was so unequivocally positive it had found the route to closure. Something was special about her arrival and yet not so extraordinary at all. Many people come across abandoned animals all the time. Depending on the circumstance, the options could be: 1) Nothing 2) House it 3) Call animal control 4) Shelter drop off and 5) Give it away. Giving it away, like on Craigslist, could be the worst thing that ever happened to the animal. It could end up at a research facility, eaten, used for fighting or some other twisted end. Most of those are lazy options with not much thought about what happens next. Housing it could be impossible due to rental restrictions or inability to meet the commitment. Then what?? One thing was intuitively sure, the responsibility for it was not to be taken lightly and outsourced. Not to the State, not to the municipality and not to bloated organizations that create the aura of no-kill. Not for this Sea Star. Wait, why should we take responsibility for others peoples recklessness? Well, you dont have to, thats the point. Its been taken care of for you. Can you accept the consequences? No one would bat an eye if it was a vicious dog terrorizing neighborhood kids. But what if its the beloved family pit bull who chewed through its collar and you have 48 hours to scurry around and locate it before its exterminated? Someone will take care of it if a officer with a questionable past doesnt reach it first or use it as target practice if its injured. Oh, but wait, we have microchips that do the finding for us now how convenient! Soon, itll be considered socially irresponsible and later illegal to not get the pet microchipped, and a microchipped dog who becomes aggressive can be tracked to its owner for punishment. A non-chipped animal could be put away. Because the price for all this paid-for responsibility outsourcing is still blame, punishment and force. It takes a village to raise an animal and since they have failed it must be left to us to clean up your mess. Community talk my eye when individuals try to help they get blocked at every turn. Like this family who attempted to take an injured deer to an animal hospital but were threatened and stopped by an officer who blasted it on site with his gun in front of their child. Such a double-standard that we are so irresponsible and must be at fault for cruelty. Cruelty is okay if State-sanctioned, entertainment-sanctioned or protected in corporate agriculture. If an average person were to do those same things, it would mean prison time. At this point it was my call for the dog because it was vulnerable and it asked for help. So if I went with any lazy option including telling it to go somewhere else and ask someone else! I could be sealing a gruesome fate for it. Plus, its a pleasure, not a duty to be able to do something tangible (while its still legal). Unfortunately, this is how I discovered just how difficult it can be for a seemingly insignificant undertaking to keep an animal out of a rescue shelter. Not everything I researched about finding and rehoming an abandoned dog proved useful I had to figure a lot out on my own. In fact, a lot of people would claim I have no right. I feel I have no right not to no right to dispense with it, wash my hands of it and hope for the best by leaving it to authorities or pawning it off to people who continue the cycle of abuse. I learned more by actually going through the process. Tomorrow I will share what we did to find it a home without breaking the bank or endangering its future. Think twice before calling animal controlbefore leaving an animal at a shelter. It matters See the Sequel: Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist.

Im not calling animal control over the dog that keeps getting out of my neighbors fence and is starting to drive me insane b/c hes going to all the other houses that have dogs in fences and goading them.

3	Local Activists Work to Restore Their Community After Hurricane Sandy and Government Failureselfnews Post Once again, FEMA has failed staggeringly as chaos has erupted in affected areas of New York and New Jersey. Its a replay of the fine work that the organization did in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Shortages have now resulted in emergency calls by FEMA for key supplies such as baby formula. One of alternative medias very own, Alexander Higgins, released a video showing the devastation to his home and neighborhood and was vocal in his criticism of government relief that has yet to show for more than a week in his area of Brick, New Jersey. The losses that people have sustained are a painful reminder that it is in our own best interest to reconnect with our neighbors and form local community relief efforts before a crisis hits. The Occupy Sandy Relief organization is exemplary of how fast people can come together to help one another, but imagine how much more effective we could be if we focused on preparation rather than response. If you have been one of those affected in this storm, please offer your observations about government aid in your area and/or what you did to prepare that helped you get through this storm.

1	In a resounding display of horsemanship, lancemanship, and puissance that marked both his first major tournament success and a great victory on the international stage for the British crown, the gallant English Prince William did mightily unseat Prince Willem- Alexander of the Netherlands in combat at the Cheltenham Jousts this Sunday week. The valiant Prince William triumphant in victory. The prince, his aspect as always noble and his armour brightly agleam, did strike his gentleman-foe the Prince of Orange with a single shivering blow to the very center of his greatshield, all glory be to God, ensuring, as well, a victory in global currency exchange. 'Alack! I am bested, and fall heavy to the ground, and must therefore renegotiate the terms of special exchange between our nations when managing debts that predate conversion to the new EU standard,' quoth Willem-Alexander as he tumbled from his steed, acknowledging his opponent the better man and meeting his fate with honour. 'In sooth, a rate of 1.75 euros to the pound is more than fair, with interest compounding from the date of this match forward, so mighty is the stroke that undoes me.' Magnanimous in victory, as befits the heir to the Throne of All England, Prince William did forsake the cries of bloodlust from the lower galleries, granting the Dutch prince the boon of his life and demanding in return only a 4.5 percent increase in durable-goods tariffs on imports from the Netherlands and her subject nations. 'Hear me, O Britain!' exclaimed His Royal Highness, whose voice was heard to peal forth from the lists as thunder from great mountain-height, ringing in every corner of that green and pleasant land, as well as on BBC Two and internationally on ESPN, garnering a nod of approval from the Queen, who gazed on regally from the royal box. 'This man hath proven himself worthy of our mercy. For to fall in joust before the Crown Prince of Englandthe very herald of God on Earthis no shame; nor would I call foeman any prince who hath the strength to acknowledge Jesus as his Saviour and to hold inflation to a stunningly low 1.3 percent. Therefore I spare his life, and call my noble cousin mere cousin no more, but brother, in hopes our fair nations may find brotherhood indeed.' And 'spite a fortnight full of tragic news that wicked Fate had split the comely pair, the noble Prince William did grant a victory nosegay to his former love, the beauteous Kate Middleton, who with wet and melancholy eye did the prince's gaze avoid, as befits a commoner. 'Hail to the crown prince of our fair isles, hail!' said Herald-Royal Anthony the Blair, Grand Vizier of the Realm, Prime Minister of All Britain, and Officiary of the Games, upon presenting Prince William with the Cheltenham Tournament Virgin Atlantic Trophy. 'For he has made the doughty enemy void his saddle, and hight him upon his very fud; and many a rude and glorious tale shall be of this day's deeds retold.' 'Such feats of brawn and bravery have we scarce beheld since Prince's father, Charles of Wales, did ride forth in errantry, and did in single combat meet, and unhorsing humiliate, sundry knights of the Falkland Islands,' added Blair with a hearty heavenward thrust of his gauntled fist. Upon being relieved of his helm, breastplate, and greaves by his trusty squires the Minister of State for Trade and Her Majesty's Ambassador to the Netherlands, the prince did declare a feast day and order the roasting of a fatted ox. The beast was shared out in equal parts among all freedmen in attendance, and small beer and brown ale was given forth in full fair measure. A fine and merry bawd did last until the rising of Tuesday's sun brought forth the cock's cry, heralding once again a round of bold and robust trading on the London Stock Exchange, so well delighted and put at ease by the day's events Albion's investors were. Also late from the Netherlands came grave tidings that Prince Willem-Alexander hath suffered wounds diverse and mortal, and that he ails sick abed i'the Amsterdam Medical Center, where doctors are struggling with all their art against profuse hemmorhaging cerebral and abdominal.

In the video below you can see a failed attempt at a protest by a Louisiana State University student from May, 2011. As soon as he steps up to address the crowd, more than 2,000 patriotic LSU students drown out his voice before he can get in two sentences. It is amazing to see such a defiant crowd of southern students stepping up to defend their country in the face of a direct assault on its honor. Are you proud of these fine university men and women for fighting for American pride? 
2	Thug Tries To Rob 90It makes me absolutely sick when armed robbers deliberately pick those who they see as weak to attack. Frequently, these criminals target elderly business owners, who they see as frail and easy targets to strongarm. However, this older man was no victim when a bully with a gun came into his shop to attempt to rob him. This 90-year-old laundromat owner gave a robber the shock of his life when a gun was pulled on him. Instead of cowering, he pulled out a gun of his own. The thug shoves the old man, who then reaches into his pocket. The look that comes over the robbers face is priceless as he realizes that he had picked the wrong shop to try to rob that day. The 911 call the old man places afterward is priceless. Did he take any money? the emergency operator asks. No, no, says the old man. I went for my gun and said Ill blow your [expletive] brains out, and he was gone. Its amazing to see the bravery and intelligence of this older man, who was determined not to be a victim. In my opinion, this old guy must have been a WWII veteran, to show that kind of calm under fire and determination not to be taken advantage of in his own store. We need more people like this to stand up against thugs!

3	The U.S. Internment Camp: Prison for a New American CenturyA newly uncovered Army document details U.S. internment camps on American soil. The topic of civilian internment camps in the United States has been largely dismissed as a paranoid conspiracy theory by the mainstream media. Recent legislation and newly uncovered government documents, however, reveal the sad truth: The United States is quickly descending into a full-blown authoritarian police state. NDAA 2012: Patriot Act Part Two Under this legislation, if you are simply suspected of providing support to a group the government classifies as a terrorist organizationor an affiliate or associated force of said organizationyou can be rounded up and detained until the end of the War on Terrora war, according to policy makers, that has no end. Over the course of this endless and prefabricated war, the governments definition of terrorist has slowly shifted post 9/11 from Al Qaeda, a group of dubious power initially funded and supported by the CIA and the Pakistani ISI, to such domestic terrorists as Occupy Wall Street protestors, pro-life advocates and Ron Paul supporters. When the FBI set-up a band of dimwitted anarchist patsies to plant a fake bomb on a bridge, it became blatantly clear who the government now sees as the true enemy of the state. This has been the FBIs modus operandi for quite some time. A U.S. Army field manual, FM 3-39.40 Internment and Resettlement Operations, has been leaked toPublic Intelligence that outlines in vivid detail exactly how these civilian internment camps are to be run. Martial Law In America In the event of a military or civil conflict or natural or man-made disaster, the U.S. Army is to partner with both international and domestic agencies, including the United Nations, the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA to support these I/R operations. This field manual comes to light, coincidentally, just a few weeks after it was revealed that DHS and ICE are stocking up on several hundred million rounds of hollow point ammunition. While the military undoubtedly has contingency plans for numerous war-time scenarios with and in foreign nations, this document reveals that these I/R facilities can be established within the United States. In section 2-40 of the manual, it states: The I/R tasks performed in support of civil support operations are similar to those during combat operations, but the techniques and procedures are modified based on the special OE associated with operating within U.S. territory and according to the categories of individuals (primarily DCs) to be housed in I/R facilities. Currently, U.S. citizens are protected from the military enforcing civilian laws within the United States or its territories thanks to the Posse Comitatus Act. However, given Obamas willingness to usurp Constitutional protections at the drop of a helmet, Im not holding my breath that a second Obama term or another puppet administration wont attempt to overturn Posse Comitatus in the future. It certainly wouldnt be the first time. While the passing of the National Defense Authorization Act 2012 was a dark day in American history, the methods of human control, discipline and degradation outlined in this official field manual go beyond the pale. Well touch on a few of the more egregious examples of the unconstitutional, liberty-stripping language contained within FM 3-39.40, but we encourage you to read the document for yourself here to get a full picture. Once captured,soldiers working at the camps are to process detainees using the search, silence, segregate, speed, safeguard and tag (5 Ss and T) technique. The most concerning of these is silence. Soldiers manning the camps must prevent detainees from communicating with one another or making audible clamor such as chanting, singing or praying. The soldiers are also to silence uncooperative detainees by muffling them with a soft, clean cloth tied around their mouths and fastened at the back of their heads. It goes even further: 6-16 Military police must not speak to detainees except to give orders or directions. Do not let detainees talk to or signal each other during the processing phase at any echelon. This prevents them from plotting ways to counter security, planning escapes, or orchestrating other undesirable activities. Detainees who refuse to be silent may require a muffle (an item used to prevent speech or outcry without causing injury to the detainee, such as cloth) in certain tactical situations. If it is suggested that this document is merely a contingency plan to deal effectively with a natural disaster, these barbarous tactics of control surely indicate otherwise. To make matters even more sinister, you will be outfitted with your very own Detainee Identification Band and issued an Internment Serial Number. Civilian Internees essentially have zero rights once in military detention, and since the government is now in the business of classifying activists and protestors as potential national security threats, it only makes sense for them to attempt to not only silence dissidents, but re-educate them as well. It goes like this: PSYOP officers assist the military police force in controlling detainees and DCs as well as introduce detainees or DCs to U.S. and multinational policy. These PSYOP officers are also trained to develop PSYOP products that are designed to pacify and acclimate detainees or DCs to accept U.S. I/R facility authority and regulations, identify political activists, and plan and execute a PSYOP program that produces an understanding and appreciation of U.S. policies and actions. So, if you are forced into one of these camps with the belief that waging extrajudicial wars against sovereign nations without congressional approval is illegal and morally reprehensible, the PSYOP team at Camp FEMA will be happy to instruct you otherwise. Furthermore, given the militarys vast creativity in developing so-called non violent weapons, the mind boggles at what PSYOP products they have in store for these I/R camps. You will also be subject to state sponsored strip searches, forced immunizations, food rationing, and labor requirements. Step out of line? Section 6-99 informs us that: If necessary, the military police commander or appointed officer can initiate general court-martial proceedings against detainees. Basically, once detained, you can expect to have nearly every facet of your existence controlled and dictated by military forces. From food, clothing and money to recreation, labor, and health care, you are effectively a slave of the new American police state. The following quote from section 6-10, sums up the entirety of American foreign policy: Detainees are treated humanely and as EPWs until their status is determined according to DOD policy. Ryan Cummings lives in the United States and is the co-editor of fawkesfilter.com. 
3	Oil Prices Slide so Far Some Crude Is Now Worth Literally Less than NothingBy Claire Bernish North Dakota Sour, a high-sulfur crude thats more expensive to refine than other varieties, has now been listed at -$0.50 per barrel down from $13.50 per barrel a year ago and $47.60 per barrel in 2014, Bloombergreported. Telling producers that they have to pay you to take away their oil certainly gives the producers a whole bunch of incentive to shut their wells, said Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates, LLC, about the current crude surfeit, according to Bloomberg. The news outlet also cited executive vice president of Turner Mason Co., John Auers, as explaining that this particular crude only represents a small portion of North Dakotas production, with15,000 barrels a day coming out of the ground. While North Dakota Sour is a fraction of the market, oil prices in general have been sliding substantially. Brent and West Texas International (WTI), which serve as benchmarks for global oil pricing, are both solidly under $30 per barrel, with some market analysts who cite the coming return of Iran and its potential influx of 500,000 barrels per day to the market predicting a possible return to the $25 mark. Just 18 months ago, Brent crudehovered around $115. U.S. producers have thus far refused to ramp down output from 9 million barrels a day, despite demand described in a note from the U.K.s Barclays Bank as spectacularly weak. In fact, oversupply looks to be an ongoing issue for at least two years, according to fund manager with T. Rowe Price, Shawn Driscoll, whom MarketWatchs Howard Gold cites for his uncannily accurate oil price predictions. Even without accounting for Irans coming production, Driscoll explained, our model is saying were still oversupplied a million barrels a day in 16. Canadian producers are feeling the pain, as well, with hotly disputed tar sands bitumen the substance at the heart of the Keystone XL Pipeline controversy having slumped from as high as $80 less than two years ago to just $8.35 last week, said Bloomberg. Putting the finances aside, the dramatic price plunge has meant drastic reductions in energy sector jobs, particularly in Alberta, with an alarming correlation to an increase in the provinces suicide rate. As reported by CBC, in 2015, the chief medical examiner reported a 30% increase in the suicide rate over the previous year though that number is expected to climb even higher once statistics have been fully compiled. Meanwhile in the U.S., one group has welcomed the oil price slump with open arms: motorists. Gas stations intwo locations in Michigan dropped prices below $1 per gallon; and at the time of publication, the average gas price in the nation was an unbelievable $1.89 per gallon a price not seen here since March 2009, according toAAA.

2	Major Bombshell Leaks About Obamas Fraudulent Birth Certificate Drops, White House Panicking Over the past few years, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been the center of controversy for sticking up for what he believes on matters like border security. He is also well known for his mission to prove that Obamas birth certificate is fakeand he was likely not born in this country. In a recent radio interview, Arpaio told listeners that he is pretty well convinced that President Obamas birth certificate is fraudulent, fake document. Ive been in law enforcement for 55 years and I think I know a fraudulent, fake document, Arpaio claimed. I am not a computer expert. I rely on my people. But Im pretty well convinced it is a fake document. The conversation started in regards to Donald Trumps controversial views on immigration, but quickly made its way to Obamas birth certificate. Arpaio has been investigating Obamas qualification to become president as a natural born citizen for nearly 7 years now. What do you think? Is the birth certificate that was released clearly a fake? 
2	Muslims Thrown Out Of This Skyscraper For THIS Reason According to recent reports, a Muslim married couple have just filed a lawsuit against the owners of New Yorks Empire State Building for being assaulted, battered and forcibly removed from the buildings observation deck for praying. Reports indicate that the couple is suing both Malkin Properties and Andrews International Inc. (the security company on duty), over the incident. The couple claims that they were simply looking for a quiet place to pray, and chose the 86th floor of the building. The couple also maintains that they have prayed in public before and attempt to be respectful when they seek places to pray. What do you think of the incident? Do you understand why the security company could have viewed the Muslim couple as a threat? 
2	Peyton Manning Just Did Something AMAZING For The Marines Killed In Chattanooga According to recent reports, Peyton Manning paid tribute to the four U.S. Marines who lost their lives in the Chattanooga shooting by showing up at the Naval Marine Corps Reserve Center. Now, a fifth service member has died from injuries he suffered during the attack, and a police officer is still hospitalized from the injuries he suffered. The reserve is still an active scene of investigators. Reports indicate that Manning showed up at the reserve late on Saturday night to visit with military personnel and police officers who were personally impacted by the incident. The officers then posted pictures of the visit on social media. What do you think? Is Manning a prime example for how more Americans need to be conducting themselves? 
1	Bears middle linebacker Brian Urlacher posited a new theory to his teammates Wednesday, speculating that the rapid rotation of Saturn, coupled with the planet's extreme conditions, greatly increase the likelihood that the gas giant has an amazing playoff atmosphere. 'If I was on the visiting team, I wouldn't want to go there for a postseason game, because the environment would be incredibly hostile,' Urlacher said. 'The pressure just gets more intense the deeper you go, and the whole place just gets totally raucous because you've got to contend with 500 mph winds. Plus, the surface probably gets really slippery from the helium rain. Any team from Saturn who gets home-field advantage would make it to the Super Bowl easy.' Although Urlacher claimed that the high concentration of hydrogen and trace amounts of methane, ammonia, phosphine, and acetylene would leave players gasping for breath, quarterback Jay Cutler insisted the thin Rocky Mountain air made INVESCO Field at Mile High a harder place to play. 
3	Self-Driving Cars: Another Control Mechanism for Our Lives?By Catherine J. Frompovich Besides microwave energy tech devices that now are capable of opening or closing our front doors while we are away at work or, perhaps, some other apparent fabulous fete which, by the way, can be hacked into by some two-bit, half-sophisticated hacker, we now have the push for the self-driving car. Self-driving cars are the dream teams next consumer commodity that Americans are being programmed and acculturated to accept, want and, especially, purchase. Dont believe that? Well, please do some research about it. Speaking of research, the intelligent and obviously astutely concerned folks at Brasscheck TV have put together a sensible, point-on-point video discussion about the self-driving car, which I thought readers may want to know. In this video they point out a tremendous amount of common, ordinary horse sense, which seems to be lacking in the push toward a fully-implemented tech society. While watching and absorbing the above tutorial on self-driving cars, you may want to pay particular attention to what is being said about the technology that will be the driving force behind them: RADAR! If you are concerned about the utility companies AMI Smart Meters being forced upon you, your homes and the EMFs/RFs they produce; microwave ovens leakages and microwave oven-cooked food deficiencies; Wi-Fi in schools, your place of employment or elsewhere, especially the proposed Wi-Fi in the skyG5, then maybe you ought to contemplate or do a reality check on what will happen to your physiology that sitting in a self-driving car with a radar dish directing your life will do. Its radiofrequencies just may not be what you as a consumer-owner will want to become involved with, even as a passenger in a rental car. Think about the ramifications of sitting under a small functioning radar panel, dish or system! Read what the World Health Organization has to say about radar [3]. Radar in the family car? Question: Dont we have enough potential problems being forced upon us from all the consumer products that contain radioactive materials [1]? However, the airlines now are considering placing RFID chips on to passengers luggage bags to track them. Whoopee!!! More and more EMF contaminationwere living in a sea of brain-damaging EMFs/RFs. When will we awaken to that fact? As pointed out in the above video, control of the vehicle is in the hands of technology and the computer program designed to drive. We all know how screwed up computer software is and can be. Personally, I loathe it! I feel if Henry Ford were to have invented the first automobile with the same efficiency of many of the software programs and computer tech stuff, wed still be shoveling horse manure out of our garages! Technology is being forced onto us for the apparent ultimate reason of total control they can implement as easily as possible and without our recognizing it for what it truly is, I contend. Furthermore, technology is the perfect addiction meme that society has bought into even though its making life more problematic on levels we have yet to realizeloss of jobs and employment potentials; loss of personal autonomy; loss of unalienable rights from Creatoreven constitutional freedoms! That, however, I think is the ultimate goal of the controllers and the cabal who program us into cooperating willingly literally buying into it and not questioning or challenging their Hegelian Dialectic principles of manipulation: problem-reaction-solution. What I cant seem to fathom is how humans are so willing to become addictedand its a verifiable addiction [2]to something rather ephemeraleven holographic in a sensebut very real and controlling as technology. Can you imagine what can happen with a self-driving car? How far will it be able to drive us into further addictions?

There are always risks and someone in this world will exploit them but going to work without loosing my nerves would be progress the way I see it. No they overregulate everything to make you think theres a problemand then use the media they own to tell us the government isnt the terrorist. Face book tells us Islam isnt terror. Thats right. Its the US government thats behind all of it. The soldiers at Kobar were killed by thier own government. Osama Bin Laden was never anything but a media boogeyman. Theres was never proof for anything. They just expect us to swallow thier lies. In addition to the above topics covered just think of the revenue that police and cities will lose without cops writing all those tickets. I would say they wont hire as many but in reality we all know they will just utilize them to enforce the police state in other ways. A way to blame technology for your death. Digital connectivity. Criticise the government and now you have no brakes. Or your car mysteriously drives itself into a sound barrier while the accelerator drops to the floor. Think im kidding? This was the primary motivation behind the development of such technolgy. Just another way to kill your enemies and get away with it. Whos gonna question what they tell you? Whos doing it now? Late on your taxes? You wont arrive at work I can forsee the day insurers price human drivers out of the market. Their risk is too great when driverless is safer. Of course the trend is to dissempower the consumer in every way. And when they want, the doors will lock and you will be driven some where. All bow to the great mother board. What a mind job, replacing Gaia, Mother Earth, with mother boards. The computer is faced with a sudden critical mortal choice, you, or another family in another car. Better hope your citizen ranking number is high enough. Thats Hilarious Introverted, but Im sure spot on. Since everyone knows there is a death list under the health care act (obummer care). 
3	NASAs Valkyrie Superhero Robot Continues Evolution for Mission to MarsBy Nicholas West One such robot that represents grand promises for making a giant leap with humans is NASAs Valkyrie humanoid robot which continues to receive upgrades that its creators expect to take it to Mars as soon as the 2030s. The Valkyrie concept was first unveiled to the public in December, 2013, as seen in the first video below. At the time it was being presented to participate in DARPAs Robotics Challenge, where it did not fare well at all versus its competition it scored zero points being bested by that years winner SCHAFT, developed by Google. Nevertheless, it has been billed as one of the most expensive humanoid robots ever created, employing more than 50 people at NASA, working two shifts for a total of 22 hours per day. Subsequent versions eventually delivered it into the hands of several universities, including Scotlands University of Edinburgh, then on to Northeastern in the United States where it will now spend time with developers there as part of NASAs newest program to utilize university research to propel Valkyrie in DARPAs competition. While the robot still stands at 62 and weighs north of 250 pounds, it does appear to be more streamlined. It is now being touted as one of the most advanced humanoid robots in the world. You can see its progression throughout the video documentation from Edinburgh here, as well as in the latest video posted below where it is presented to an audience at Northeastern University. Whether or not Valkyrie will fulfill its grand mission to explore deep space and help prepare Mars for human astronaut arrival and, presumably, future colonization remains to be seen. Do you think this is money well spent? Or is space exploration best pursued outside of government control, if at all? Please leave your thoughts below.

1	Saying that hes never seen it but that theres probably one around somewhere, 24-year-old web developer Doug Horton told reporters Wednesday he is willing to just assume his apartment has a functional carbon monoxide detector. Im sure theres one on a wall in the kitchen, or maybe in the bedroom, said Horton, sitting on his sofa as he briefly scanned his living room for a device that looked like it might raise an alarm in the event of a deadly gas leak. There has to be one, right? And even if there wasnt, Id probably still be able to see or at least smell any carbon monoxide that got in here, so Im not too worried. At press time, reports confirmed Horton had decided to open a window just in case. 
2	Poll: Americans Feel That Obama Is A More Imminent Threat Than Putin And Assad According to recent reports from BizPac, a Reuters-Ipsos online questionnaire just revealed that Americans now view President Obamas policies as more of a threat than international leaders ranging from Russian President Vladimir Putin to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The poll asked almost 3,000 Americans to rank a series of threats on a scale from 1 to 5, with 5 being the most imminent threat. According to the poll, 34% of Republicans viewed Obama as the largest threat, followed by Putin at 25%, and Assad at 23%. There tends to be a lot of demonizing of the person who is in the office, sociologist Barry Glassner said of the results. The TV media here, and American politics, very much trade on fears. What do you think of the results? Are these fears justified?

The temporary pause coincides with widespread market drops and a similar technical glitch on United Airlines that grounded all flights and on the Wall Street Journals website as well. The Dow and SP struggled to maintain gains and several indexes declined with the slump. We will be providing further updates as soon as we can, and are doing our utmost to produce a swift resolution, communicate thoroughly and transparently, and ensure a timely and orderly market reopen, says a spokeswoman for the exchange operator. Mark Otto of J. Streicher Co in New York said there is no reason for panic at all. Only time will tell. Is this a coincidence? Or is this a coordinated cyber attack? The White House is reportedly monitoring the outages. The Department of Homeland Security states that these technical problems are unrelated. **Update** NYSE President states that the exchange plans to reopen between 2:45 and 3:00pm.

2	Obama Throws Sasha And Malia To Media Sharks To Cover Up THIS Disgusting Lie According to recent reports, President Obama has used his daughters Sasha and Malia to cover up his true opinions on gay marriage. When Obama ran for president in 2009, he made it clear that he was against gay marriage. Opposition to gay marriage was particularly strong in the black church, David Axelrod wrote in his biography of the president. As he ran for higher office, he grudgingly accepted the counsel of more pragmatic folks like me, and modified his position. When Obama ran again just four years later, he was singing a very different tune. You know, Malia and Sasha, theyve got friends whose parents are same-sex couples, Obama told the public. And Iyou know, there have been times where Michelle and I have been sittin around the dinner table. And weve been talkin andabout their friends and their parents. And Malia and Sasha wouldit wouldnt dawn on them that somehow their friends parents would be treated differently. It doesnt make sense to them. And, frankly, thats the kind of thing that prompts a change of perspective. You know, not wanting to somehow explain to your child why somebody should be differently when it comes to the eyes of the law. What do you think? Will Obama say anything to get a vote? 
2	BREAKING: Hillary Just Received Terrible News Right After... Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton probably let out a sigh of relief on Tuesday when FBI Director James Comey announced that the FBI would not recommend an indictment to the Department of Justice. As it turns out, her private email server troubles are far from behind her. On Thursday morning, House Speaker Paul Ryan demanded that the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee be denied classified information briefings, because the FBI labeled her as careless. Ryan sent a letter to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper requesting that Clinton not receive the briefings or that Clapper explain why he thinks handing them over is a good idea. As a former vice presidential nominee, I am keenly aware that Secretary Clinton is set to begin receiving classified intelligence briefings after the Democratic National Convention, Ryan wrote. Given the FBIs findings, denying Secretary Clinton access to classified information certainly constitutes appropriate sanctions. A bill has also been introduced in the Senate to strip Clinton of her security clearance as punishment for her reckless actions. When individuals mishandle our countrys most sensitive information they jeopardize national security and shouldnt be trusted with such an important responsibility, Senator Majority Whip John Cornyn said in a statement. If the FBI wont recommend action based on its findings, Congress will. What do you think of the new measure? 
2	Marine Gets Right Up In Bill Clintons Face, 4 MARINES DIED IN BENGHAZI AND YOUR WIFE LIED TO... When Hillary Clinton appeared at a campaign rally in South Carolina, her husband Bill was right there next to her to offer his support. But he probably wasnt expecting to have to answer to this Marine. What was your wifes role in the Benghazi terror attacks? The Marine asked the former president. Four were killed and your wife is trying to cover it up. The man went on to identify himself as a Marine sergeant and an eight-year, active-duty veteran. Of course, he is referring to the fact that Hillary was secretary of state during the 2012 attacks on a U.S. outpost in Benghazi, Libya. U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the attack. Families of the victims have come forward with claims that they were told by Clinton in the aftermath of the attacks that the strikes were inspired by an online, anti-Islamic video. Video evidence shows that within hours Clinton knew that wasnt the case. So Bill Clinton had a lot on the line in his response. I heard you, Bill responded to the Marine. You listen to me now. The crowd turned to a mixture of boos and cheers, and sheriff deputies came in and removed the man. Its not surprising that Bill did not give this soldier the time of day. The Clintons have been evading the subject for years now. Clinton needs to take responsibility for dropping the ball, the Marine later told reporters. The fact that she is not in prison now is mind-blowing. What do you think? Do our men and women in uniform deserve more respect than this?

2	The Christian Phrase Members Of The Military Are Being Banned From Saying Whether you are in the court room, or enlisting for public duty, the words so help me God have always been a part of the ceremony. The phrase is used as part of an oath, a dedication to honesty and duty. It looks like that is all about to change, however. According to recent reports, the Air Force has decided that enlisted officers and members will now have the choice to omit the phrase. The decision follows an incident in which an airman was unable to reenlist because he omitted those words from the required oath due to religious beliefs. The choice to remove the portion of the oath was reach after the Air Force consulted with the Department of Defense General Counsel. The policy will go into effect immediately. What do you think? Is it unnecessary for so help me God to be omitted? Has the extremist push for freedom of religion actually started a war against Christianity?

The plant virus has somehow jumped to the Animal Kingdom, now infecting honeybees. The first two sentences of the study abstracthold unsettling implications: Emerging and reemerging diseases that result from pathogen host shifts are a threat to the health of humans and their domesticates. RNA viruses have extremely high mutation rates and thus represent a significant source of these infectious diseases. Lead author Ji Lian Li, at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Science in Beijing, says: The results of our study provide the first evidence that honeybees exposed to virus-contaminated pollen can also be infected and that the infection becomes widespread in their bodies. More Bizarre Findings The tree topology indicated that the TRSVs from arthropod hosts shared a common ancestor with those from plant hosts and subsequently evolved as a distinct lineage after transkingdom host alteration. This study represents a unique example of viruses with host ranges spanning both the plant and animal kingdoms. Mutating RNA Viruses EurekaAlert! relays: Notably, about 5% of known plant viruses are pollen-transmitted and thus potential sources of host-jumping viruses. RNA viruses tend to be particularly dangerous because they lack the 3-5 proofreading function which edits out errors in replicated genomes. As a result, viruses such as TRSV generate a flood of variant copies with differing infective properties. One consequence of such high replication rates are populations of RNA viruses thought to exist as quasispecies, clouds of genetically related variants that appear to work together to determine the pathology of their hosts. These sources of genetic diversity, coupled with large population sizes, further facilitate the adaption of RNA viruses to new selective conditions such as those imposed by novel hosts. Thus, RNA viruses are a likely source of emerging and reemerging infectious diseases, explain these researchers. Other diseases associated with CCD, known to wipe out hives as early as 2006 include; Israel Acute Paralysis Virus (IAPV), Acute Bee Paralysis Virus (ABPV), Chronic Paralysis Virus (CPV), Kashmir Bee Virus (KBV), Deformed Wing Bee Virus (DWV), Black Queen Cell Virus (BQCV) and Sacbrood Virus (SBV). So do findings like this serve to mitigate the responsibility of chemical pesticides on environmental health, or could they further implicate them in the results thereof? It turns out when they studied different colonies classified as either weak or strong, TRSV and other viruses were more prevalent in the weakened colonies. During their studies, the strong colonies could effectively ward off most disease and, unlike their weaker counterparts, could survive the cold winters into February. Something has weakened modern bee generations One study, with contradictory terms appeared to detract attention from chemicals on bee health by emphasizing that the bees are not directly killed, but are stressed. Recently, another study, showing that chemicals did not directly kill the colony, proved that pesticides were creating smaller worker beesby retarding theirgrowth, ultimately leading to the untimely end of a colony. The researchers called for more surveillance of potential host-jumping events as part of insect pollinator management programs and concluded: The increasing prevalence of TRSV in conjunction with other bee viruses is associated with a gradual decline of host populations and supports the view that viral infections have a significant negative impact on colony survival. Regardless of the cause, the collective immunity of pollinators is weakening at a rapid pace and bees are falling prey to invaders that previously posed less harm. Imagine the sheer disease-state of honeybees, weakened enough to become susceptible to diseases in the Plant Kingdom.

3	John McCain Leads the Charge to Cut Soldier Benefits; Money for Terrorists But Not For TroopsBy Brandon Turbeville This is because Congressional Defense leaders on Tuesday announced that they are looking to enact more entitlement and personnel reforms in 2016. The bill being submitted and debated by Congress would provide a much lower than anticipated pay raise for U.S. troops beginning in January 2016. It includes cuts in the growth of military housing stipends, an introduction of new co-pays for some military drug prescriptions and a scale-down of the commissary benefit. The bill also includes changes to the traditional military retirement system and an overhaul of military healthcare offerings like Tricare. In fact, Tricare reform is going to be a major focus in the coming debate. This comes after a military compensation and retirement modernization commission report released earlier this year recommended dumping Tricare completely, realigning medical commands and better integrating Defense Department care with Veterans Affairs medical offerings. Pentagon officials despite having an apparent limitless budget when it comes to funding bearded fanatics, and providing limitless amounts of weaponry to terrorists are now whining about the need to rein in personnel costs. Unsurprisingly, one of the most vocal cheerleaders of this effort to reduce benefits for American soldiers is Senator John McCain who stated that military personnel costs are one of our greatest challenges and that were going to have to make some tough decisions soon. No one should be shocked at McCains position of course since despite his constant harping about his military service as a qualification for any and all of his opinions McCain has been a relentless enemy of American military personnel since as far back as the Vietnam War. It should be remembered that it was John McCain who stood in front of Congress and argued against any further investigation or revelation of whether or not American POWs were still being held in Vietnam, as well as displaying a general antipathy to American military personnel as Ive detailed in my article The Un-American Hero: Crimes of John McCain. As Sydney Schanburg wrote in his excellent article, The War Secrets Sen. John McCain Hides, McCain was consistent, at least in his actions, in his refusal to allow any further attempts to discover and recover missing American POWs in Vietnam as well as even the possibility of allowing any further investigation as to the possibility that Americans were still being held captive. This is, of course, despite McCains incessant reliance on his military service as some type of qualification for whatever his political position of the day might be. As Schanburg writes, But there was one subject that was off-limits, a subject the Arizona senator almost never brings up and has never been open about his long-time opposition to releasing documents and information about American prisoners of war in Vietnam and the missing in action who have still not been accounted for. Since McCain himself, a downed Navy pilot, was a prisoner in Hanoi for 5 1/2 years, his staunch resistance to laying open the POW/MIA records has baffled colleagues and others who have followed his career. Critics say his anti-disclosure campaign, in close cooperation with the Pentagon and the intelligence community, has been successful. Literally thousands of documents that would otherwise have been declassified long ago have been legislated into secrecy. For example, all the Pentagon debriefings of the prisoners who returned from Vietnam are now classified and closed to the public under a statute enacted in the 1990s with McCains backing. He says this is to protect the privacy of former POWs and gives it as his reason for not making public his own debriefing. []Many Vietnam veterans and former POWs have fumed at McCain for keeping these and other wartime files sealed up. His explanation, offered freely in Senate hearings and floor speeches, is that no one has been proven still alive and that releasing the files would revive painful memories and cause needless emotional stress to former prisoners, their families and the families of MIAs still unaccounted for. But what if some of these returned prisoners, as has always been the case at the conclusion of wars, reveal information to their debriefing officers about other prisoners believed still held in captivity? What justification is there for filtering such information through the Pentagon rather than allowing access to source materials? For instance, debriefings from returning Korean war POWs, available in full to the American public, have provided both citizens and government investigators with important information about other Americans who went missing in that conflict. Would not most families of missing men, no matter how emotionally drained, want to know? And would they not also want to know what the government was doing to rescue their husbands and sons? Hundreds of MIA families have for years been questioning if concern for their feelings is the real reason for the secrecy. Others, however, suspect that all of McCains insistence in keeping the information classified revolves around whether or not releasing the debriefings would open the door to McCains closet, suggesting that there skeletons lurking inside it that the Senator does not want falling out. Schanburg writes, A smaller number of former POWs, MIA families and veterans have suggested there is something especially damning about McCain that the senator wants to keep hidden. Without release of the files, such accusations must be viewed as unsubstantiated speculation. The main reason, however, for seeking these files is to find out if there is any information in the debriefings, or in other MIA documents that McCain and the Pentagon have kept sealed, about how many prisoners were held back by North Vietnam after the Paris peace treaty was signed in January 1973. The defense and intelligence establishment has long resisted the declassification of critical records on this subject. McCain has been the main congressional force behind this effort. The prisoner return in 1973 saw 591 Americans repatriated by North Vietnam. The problem was that the U.S. intelligence list of men believed to be alive at that time in captivity in Vietnam, Laos and possibly across the border in southern China and in the Soviet Union was much larger. Possibly hundreds of men larger. The State Department stated publicly in 1973 that intelligence data showed the prisoner list to be starkly incomplete. For example, only nine of the 591 returnees came out of Laos, though experts in U.S. military intelligence listed 311 men as missing in that Hanoi-run country alone, and their field reports indicated that many of those men were probably still alive. Hanoi said it was returning all the prisoners it had. President Nixon, on March 29, 1973, seconded that claim, telling the nation on television: All of our American POWs are on their way home. This discrepancy has never been acknowledged or explained by official Washington. Over the years in Washington, McCain, at times almost single-handedly, has pushed through Pentagon-desired legislation to make it impossible or much harder for the public to acquire POW/MIA information and much easier for the defense bureaucracy to keep it hidden. Then there is also the case of the Truth Bill. A relatively simple bill which stated that [The] head of each department or agency which holds or receives any records and information, including live-sighting reports, which have been correlated or possibly correlated to United States personnel listed as prisoner of war or missing in action from World War II, the Korean conflict and the Vietnam conflict shall make available to the public all such records and information held or received by that department or agency. In addition, the Department of Defense shall make available to the public with its records and information a complete listing of United States personnel classified as prisoner of war, missing in action, or killed in action (body not returned) from World War II, the Korean conflict, and the Vietnam conflict. As one might suspect, a Pentagon implicated in the abandonment of these soldiers thus vehemently opposed the bill. The bill was defeated in 1989. In 1991, it reappeared only to quickly disappear again. Although the interest from family members of the missing veterans as well as the American public had not necessarily waned, another bill was inserted in its place The McCain Bill. As Schanburg describes, This measure turned The Truth Bill on its head. It created a bureaucratic maze from which only a fraction of the available documents could emerge. And it became law. So restrictive were its provisions that one clause actually said the Pentagon didnt even have to inform the public when it received intelligence that Americans were alive in captivity. First, it decreed that only three categories of information could be released, i.e., information that may pertain to the location, treatment, or condition of unaccounted-for personnel from the Vietnam War. (This was later amended in 1995 and 1996 to include the Cold War and the Korean conflict.) If information is received about anything other than location, treatment or condition, under this statute, which was enacted in December 1991, it does not get disclosed. Second, before such information can be released to the public, permission must be granted by the primary next of kin, or PNOK. In the case of Vietnam, letters were sent by the Department of Defense to the 2,266 PNOK. More than 600 declined consent (including 243 who failed to respond, considered under the law to be a no). [] Finally, in addition to these hurdles and limitations, the McCain act does not specifically order the declassification of the information. Further, it provides the Defense Department with other justifications for withholding documents. One such clause says that if the information may compromise the safety of any United States personnel who remain not accounted for but who may still be alive in captivity, then the Secretary [of Defense] may withhold that record or other information from the disclosure otherwise required by this section. Boiled down, the preceding paragraph means that the Defense Department is not obligated to tell the public about prisoners believed alive in captivity and what efforts are being made to rescue them. It only has to notify the White House and the intelligence committees in the Senate and House. The committees are forbidden under law from releasing such information. At the same time, the McCain act is now being used to deny access to other sorts of records. For instance, part of a recent APBnews.com Freedom of Information Act request for the records of a mutiny on merchant marine vessel in the 1970s was rejected by a Defense Department official who cited the McCain act. Similarly, requests for information about Americans missing in the Korean War and declared dead for the last 45 years have been denied by officials who reference the McCain statute. In 1996, however, another bill appeared. Entitled the Missing Service Personnel Act, the bill attempted to force the Pentagon to do more and act faster to find and subsequently recover missing military service personnel. The bill contained measures that required very strict reporting requirements for these purposes. Schanburg describes how McCain once again rode into town to destroy any potential that may have existed to discover existing missing personnel or any personnel who might become missing in the future. He writes, McCain amended the heart out of the statute. For example, the 1995 version required a unit commander to report to his theater commander within two days that a person was missing and describe what rescue and recovery efforts were underway. The McCain amendments allowed 10 days to pass before a report had to be made. In the 1995 act, the theater commander, after receiving the MIA report, would have 14 days to report to his Cabinet secretary in Washington. His report had to certify that all necessary actions were being taken and all appropriate assets were being used to resolve the status of the missing person. This section was stricken from the act, replaced with language that made the Cabinet secretary, not the theater commander, the recipient of the report from the field. All the certification requirements also were stricken. [] In response, the backers of the original statute cited the Pentagons stained record on MIAs and argued that military history had shown that speed of action is critical to the chances of recovering a missing man. Moving the bureaucracy to Washington, they said, was merely a way to sweep the issue under a rug. One final evisceration in the law was McCains removal of all its enforcement teeth. The original act provided for criminal penalties for anyone, such as military bureaucrats in Washington, who destroy or cover up or withhold from families any information about a missing man. McCain erased this part of the law. He said the penalties would have a chilling effect on the Pentagons ability to recruit personnel for its POW/MIA office. Schanburg points out how McCain has personally acted as the first line of defense against any who may suggest that POWs were left to their fate in Vietnam. McCain acts, on this issue especially, behind a carefully crafted but false veneer of patriotism and military service that appears to make him infallible in the eyes of many low information voters. Schanburg writes, McCain does not deal lightly with those who disagree with him on any of these issues or who suggest that the evidence indeed shows that a significant number of prisoners were alive and cached away as future bargaining chips when he came home in the group of 591 released in 1973. Over the years, he has regularly vilified any group or person who keeps trying to pry out more evidence about MIAs. He calls them hoaxers and charlatans and conspiracy theorists. He decries the bizarre rantings of the MIA hobbyists and describes them as individuals primarily who make their living off of keeping the issue alive. Before he died last year of leukemia, retired Col. Ted Guy, a highly admired POW and one of the most dogged resisters in the camps, wrote an angry open letter to the senator in an MIA newsletter. In it, he said of McCains stream of insults: John, does this include Senator Bob Smith and other concerned elected officials? Does this include the families of the missing where there is overwhelming evidence that their loved ones were last known alive? Does this include some of your fellow POWs? Clearly, McCain likes dissent the way he likes his veterans silent. This silence, for McCain, can come by any means necessary. Indeed, McCain has been the biggest denier of all when it comes to the possibility that American soldiers were left on the battlefield. Schanburg states, McCain has said again and again that he has seen no credible evidence that more than a tiny handful of men might have been alive in captivity after the official prison return in 1973. He dismisses all of the subsequent radio intercepts, live sightings, satellite photos, CIA reports, defector information, recovered enemy documents and reports of ransom demands thousands and thousands of pieces of information indicating live captives as meaningless. He has even described these intelligence reports as the rough equivalent of UFO and alien sightings. In Congress, colleagues and staffers who have seen him erupt in the open and, more often, in closed meetings profess themselves confounded by his behavior. Insisting upon anonymity so as not to invite one of his verbal assaults, they say they have no easy way to explain why a former POW would work so hard and so persistently to keep POW/MIA information from coming out. Typical is the comment of one congressional veteran who has watched McCain over many years: This is a man not at peace with himself. Some McCain watchers searching for answers point to his recently published best-selling autobiography, Faith of My Fathers, half of which is devoted to his years as a prisoner. In the book, he says he felt badly throughout his captivity because he knew he was being treated more leniently than his fellow POWs owing to his propaganda value as the son of Adm. John S. McCain II, who was then the CINCPAC commander in chief of all U.S. forces in the Pacific region, including Vietnam. (His captors considered him a prize catch and nicknamed him the Crown Prince.) Also in the book, the Arizona Senator repeatedly expresses guilt and disgrace at having broken under torture and given the North Vietnamese a taped confession, broadcast over the camp loudspeakers, saying he was a war criminal who had, among other acts, bombed a school. I felt faithless and couldnt control my despair, he writes. He writes, revealing that he made two half-hearted attempts at suicide. Most tellingly, he said he lived in dread that his father would find out. I still wince, he says, when I recall wondering if my father had heard of my disgrace. [] But how would McCains forced confession alone explain his endless campaign against releasing MIA/POW information? Some veterans and other McCain watchers have speculated that McCains mortification, given his familys proud military tradition (his grandfather was also an admiral), was so severe that it continues to haunt him and make him fear any opening up of information that could revive previously unpublished details of the era, including his own nagging history. McCains nagging problem at least while surviving Vietnam veterans and/or their family members were more prevalent than they are today was the fact that there were actual witnesses to the evidence pointing toward the existence of American POWs in Vietnam. Schanburg writes about the case of Dolores Apodaca Alfond, Chairwoman of the National Alliance of Families. He states, Her pilot brother, Capt. Victor J. Apodaca, out of the Air Force Academy, was shot down over Dong Hoi, North Vietnam, in the early evening of June 8, 1967. At least one person in the two-man plane survived. Beeper signals from a pilots distress radio were picked up by overhead helicopters, but the cloud cover was too heavy to go in. Hanoi has recently turned over some bone fragments that are supposed to be Apodacas. The Pentagon first declared the fragments to be animal bones. But now it is telling the family verbally that they came from the pilot. But the Pentagon, for unexplained reasons, will not put this in writing, which means Apodaca is still unaccounted for. Also the Pentagon refuses to give Alfond a sample of the fragments so she can have testing done by an independent laboratory. Alfonds testimony, at a hearing of the POW/MIA committee Nov. 11, 1992, was revealing. She pleaded with the committee not to shut down in two months, as scheduled, because so much of its work was unfinished. Also, she was critical of the committee, and in particular Kerry and McCain, for having discredited the overhead satellite symbol pictures, arguing there is no way to be sure that the [distress] symbols were made by U.S. POWs. She also criticized them for similarly discounting data from special sensors, shaped like a large spike with an electronic pod and an antenna, that were airdropped to stick in the ground along the Ho Chi Minh trail. [] Other than the panels second co-chairman, Sen. Bob Smith, R-N.H., not a single committee member attended this public hearing. But McCain, having been advised of Alfonds testimony, suddenly rushed into the room to confront her. His face angry and his voice very loud, he accused her of making allegations that are patently and totally false and deceptive. Making a fist, he shook his index finger at her and said she had insulted an emissary to Vietnam sent by President Bush. He said she had insulted other MIA families with her remarks. And then he said, through clenched teeth: And I am sick and tired of you insulting mine and other peoples [patriotism] who happen to have different views than yours. By this time, tears were running down Alfonds cheeks. She reached into her handbag for a handkerchief. She tried to speak: The family members have been waiting for years years! And now youre shutting down. He kept interrupting her. She tried to say, through tears, that she had issued no insults. He kept talking over her words. He said she was accusing him and others of some conspiracy without proof, and some cover-up. She said she was merely seeking some answers. That is what I am asking. He ripped into her for using the word fiasco. She replied: The fiasco was the people that stepped out and said we have written the end, the final chapter to Vietnam. No one said that, he shouted. No one said what you are saying they said, Ms. Alfond. And then, his face flaming pink, he stalked out of the room, to shouts of disfavor from members of the audience. As with most of McCains remarks to Alfond, the facts in his closing blast at her were incorrect. Less than three weeks earlier, on Oct. 23, 1992, in a ceremony in the White House Rose Garden, President Bush with John McCain standing beside him said: Today, finally, I am convinced that we can begin writing the last chapter in the Vietnam War. The committee did indeed, as Alfond said they planned to do, shut down two months after the hearing. Schanburg is no conspiracy theorist, it should be noted. He is a Pulitzer Prize winner from 1975 whose coverage of the social and political situation in Cambodia won him the award. Indeed, it was Schanburgs work that laid the basis for the movie The Killing Fields. It appears John McCains disregard for American military service personnel is yet one more thing he has in common with his terrorist and jihadist friends in Syria. While McCain travels abroad, in order to encourage and help arm individuals who have shot and will shoot American soldiers, he works tirelessly at home to ensure that those same soldiers cannot afford the healthcare to treat their wounds. Unfortunately in 2015, if an American service man or woman is in need of medical care his best bet will be to travel to the Middle East, learn Arabic and grow a beard. That is, at least, if John McCain has his way. Brandon Turbeville article archive here is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

In the U.S. Constitution, Congress, is granted the authority to COIN AND ISSUE MONEY AND REGULATE THE VALUE THEREOF. Money is therefore, limitless and in endless supply. As long as it is accepted by market participants anything can be money. And underwrite their personal investment choices with the power of the Feda support system not enjoyed by anyone but those at the top and totally socialist in nature. Its all just positioning to replace people with machines. No conscience equals no responsibility. Insane mccain wants to cut funding for our vets and give Isis stingers and tows. Not just hung. Hung by what balls he has left. they make rope THAT small? String theory. LOFL! Brill!!! String, rope,.. what difference does it make? ROFL! Thanks! its late here and that chuckle will help me sleep. No, no, no. Take him to room, the only thing in that room is an ironing board, opened up, with a banana hanging from the handle that will fold it down! Tie Mccain to the board, tie a string around his Balls, attach this string to the hook in the ceiling, make it fairly tight, then as you leave the room, let a very hungy monkey into the room. LMAO!!! Doubt he has any. Hillary probably sucked them off him. more than just him are doing this! Only 20.000 people rule the billions on this planet have you ever wondered why that is as we outnumber them? No. Any wonder why they run the school system? Yep, they run it to the Common ground, lol! Send him back to Hanoi. Just this time treat him as POW and not as a special visitor due his fathers position. He can share our classified information with Jane !! Be sure to send Jane with him. At lease the Indians showed that they are not wimps and ran this psycho garbage off of their Reservation. And right now would not be too soon!! Almost 90% of our politicians should be strung up for treason not just one. TRUMP WAS RIGHT, HE IS NOT A HERO. Well, what do you want? Paying our veterans for risking their lives after they have served does not kill Russians Insane McCain has kill Russians on the brain. As Putin remarked about McCain recently . the man was a POW in Viet Nam, and was kept in a hole for many years where he left his brain. Maybe that is why McCain hates Russians so much. Is it reasonable to believe that the NVA would have kept what they called the Crown Prince of prisoners in a hole? Oh, how I wish they had.he has been POISON to our Constitution. The people of Arizona keep electing this piece of human garbage, what are they drinking, is their water contaminated? Oh, I forgot our voting system is rigged. Ferdinand Lindbergh 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. HOW do you expect to reach these delusional intelligently deficient individuals with language they are obviously unfamiliar with??? They are out of reach anyway. Then why did you bother to post this piece instead of just stating it as a reference to be accessed for those with the ability to understand and seeking further understanding of your position??? Becaaaaaaaause Croco wants to show the rest of us how FAR AHEAD he is in the scien department! FAIL. I AGREE! Isnt that pathetic??? Maybe he needs a hobby,RIGHT??? HE PROBABLY GETS TIRED OF SPANKING HIS MONKEY,RIGHT??? Cindy Mccain; his drug addled wife who stole medications from her charity, is the daughter neice of Kemper Marleys #1 #2 henchmen. Her uncle went to jail for Marleys crimes. Marley was the biggest mobster in the SE; owned the racing industry, tv,newspapers,liquor monopoly, real estate, and wanted to own a politician too. That is how John became a senator because he was a war hero and could be bought. Sorry that was the SW in AZ. He is totally compromised scum and I do NOT mean to simultaneously indict the peaceful, green, simple bio-mechanisms that float on pond water Would YOU want to lose your limbs or die so your politicians can bring HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of those MUSLIMS to live in YOUR country and enjoy the life YOU should have had??? Not only enjoy your life, but in many cases perhaps enjoy your wife, after you come home in a pine box for the glorious empire. all the while showing complete disrespect for the American people who are citizens and who they expect to give them whatever they want. Trump is right this country is run by idiots. Although I completely agree with your angst, wee need to look closer at the contrived Muslim and Sharia law threat; Dearborn, MI Minneapolis MN nuff said! They must get rid of Syria because the country to the left wants it they must extend their borders from the Nile to the Euphrates. Does not matter what country is in the way. This is true. Just ask them. We didnt have a Muslim problem untill we backed the zio tribe and their expansionism and killings. His mentality is: I got mine screw everyone else. Arizona should be proud of John McCain. And America should be proud to have elected not just once, but twice, a man to the presidency that is an illegal immigrant? What? Prove that statement. On Barack Husein Obamas official copy of his official original birth certificate which is supposed to be in the Department of Health in Hawaii, there is this entry which proves beyond doubt that the Birth Certificate is a 100% forgery, Race of Father African. (((( African is not a race. )))) Here is an excerpt of the official U.S. Government document for Vital Statistics for the year 1961, the alleged birth of Barack Hussein Obama in Hawaii. See if you can locate African as a race in any of the paragraphs below. 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. The category white includes, in addition to persons reported as white, those races to the race of the father. The exception refers to a mixture of Hawaiian and any other race, which is classified as Part-Hawaiian. In most tables a less detailed classification of white and nonwhite is used. Completeness of birth registration in 1961 for white births is estimated to be A comparison of the race designation in matched sets of birth certificates and *** Important Note: A complete search of this official U.S. Government document for the term African was completed with ZERO matches found for African. Negro is found, but not African. Conclusions: 1. The only person in America that believes Barack Hussein Obama is an American Citizen, was born in Hawaii in 1961, and is eligible to be the president of the USA, is Barack Hussein Obama, because Race of Father African proves beyond a shadow of doubt that the Birth Certificate Barack Hussein Obama has provided America and the World to prove eligibility, is a 100% forgery. 2. Africa has 47 different countries within in national borders and everyone, of all nationalities, tongues, and races who have been born in Africa, are Africans. Putting Race of Father African on a Birth Certificate looks as goofy as putting Race of Father American on a Birth Certificate for a baby born in Mexico, it would never be approved. Race was the first thing I looked at when Obeymes official birth certificate was produced. Seeing African instead of the accepted term negro proved to me how authentic it was. I later found out that Kenya (also mentioned on said certificate) was not yet a country in 1961! Strangely, other official birth certificates from Hawaii produced at that same time had their race as negro! Finally the form which Obeyme had was totally different than the other ones produced at that time and location (although it was identical to his sisters). I would go into the offsets in type and two different styles of type on his form, but the unbiased media assured us all that it was legit, so who are we to judge. The government takes from lawful citizens, veterans and active duty troops and gives to the illegals and terrorists? Thanks McCain, Obama et al for nothing! Consider this; The very fact that human stains such as McCain and his ilk not only gain access to the political arena but retain their positions endlessly speaks volumes about the corrupted elections in this sad, sad nation. In addition, the ENORMOUS percentile of its denizens continuing to vilify those exposing it continuing to defend it, speaks volumes on our education system and our moral structure as well. We are speaking of a system so purely corrupted and co-opted that to continue this idiotic huff-n-puff about you dont like it -LEAVE! idiom is tantamount to screaming, WE ARE IDIOTS AND WE LOVE IT THIS WAY!! McCain who fired off a missile from his aircraft while of the deck of the carrier killing 18 sailors. But Daddy was an admiral so no charges. This old bull is bought and paid for you the big machine that likes their corruption in the form of funding wasteful government projects, contracts and cronie capitalism. He is so caught up in the DC machine of corruption he can never get out even if he wanted to the puppeteers that pull his strings wouldnt let him. Why would they, they have a powerfull corrupt congressman in their pocket. Its obvious the guys mental faculties are slipping away but his owners make him continue to keep his position of power so he can keep doing their bidding. John mccain is just like his three brothers McConnell, ballbaby boehner and obigears McCain needs to go to the old soldiers home, see how he likes it. This old derelict should have retired 10 years ago. To McCain, you are a two faced whining SOB, get out of the USA, You are a poor excuse for a VET, We NAM combat vets are ashamed of you and dont want you in our USA Way to go Songbird! This is the reason that I refer to John McCain as Little John Pot Head McCain. I have thought they broke him and re-programed him while he was at the Hanoi Hilton. That could be true, but I think he was already Fd up in the head. I believe that he got shot down because he went off on a bombing run that he was forbidden to do and thats how he ended up in the Hanoi Hilton. I am also of the belief that he uses Poc-a-lolo and really enjoys that free Single Malt we the tax payers supply those lushes with at the Congressional Bar. John McCain, bad news for servicemen and women. Its time to go and rid this world of these that wants to rid the people of ISRAEL AND AMERICA WITH WHAT EVER HAS TO BE DONE TO PUT THEM OF OUR WORLD. NOT TRUE! i INFLUENCED the Senate and Congress to pass the new Veterans VA funding and When will Arizona wake-up?????????????? As soon as all of the Kalifornians go home. They ruined their beautiful state then moved to AZ and are trying to make AZ just like the dump they left. Jeff Flake is a McCain clone and he needs to be gone too. HankmacawIf Californians went home there would be no Arizona. We did not ruin our State and move to Arizona, if that was the case guess who was second choice?? Not California. If Ca. is a dump why is it #1 place to move to?? What Ca. has Az. could not hold a candle to. AZ is in serious trouble. Last night on the local news a report aired about two high schools in AZ that havent played against each other for years because of violence. The school boards answer to that violence is to not allow anything that says USA, Trump, or anything else they deem to be racist against Mexicans, who are the majority of pupils in these schools no mention whatsoever of what the Mexicans cannot do! I I OBama brings in 200,000 muslims, makes them civilians and that is what his civilian army will be made up of . HEAD CHOPPING MUSLIMS ! I SUPPORTED FRED THOMPSON in the 2008 campaign but because of McCains age, Fred bowed out and gave over his supporters to McCain stipulating that it was his last chance to become President??? If I had known then what the author is saying now was actually true, I would NOT have continued my support??? Further conduct in the campaign showed that there was something SERIOUSLY WRONG in his campaign so I withdrew my support. His present conduct concerning Veterans and the deaths of the 40 Veterans in his state who were DENIED treatment and access to a doctor for more than a year is comparable to the VA here in New York and our Representatives in the Senate??? I INFLUENCED the Senate and Congress to pass the new Veterans VA funding and But the McSenators medical needs are being met, no matter how extensive or expensive. Hes a p.o.s.! I know that. The point I am making is that I and other veterans needs are NOT being met. That is why those 40 that died along with millions of others are NOT being met and the VA as well as the Soc.Sec.administration is doing the same thing by denying claims until the veteran or other claimant, DIES without the EARNED BENEFITS.they are ENTITLED TO??? WHAT IS WORSE is why are we paying the salaries of MILLIONS of people who are not qualified to do any type of useful work to stall and abuse the people who have contributed much to improving our society from receiving their benefits according to the Soc.Sec. LAWS??? These people know NOTHING about the laws they are supposed to administer to make a DECISION in reference to the CLAIM! PLUS THEY ALTER AND DESTROY DOCUMENTS to DELAY and DENY CLAIMS and reduce the VALUE of the BENEFITS to be paid upon APPROVAL of the CLAIM. Are these people really necessary??? These are the type of JOBS created by the government to address unemployment issues due to government MISMANAGEMENT,RIGHT??? THIS INCREASES THE BURDEN ON THE TAXPAYER and produces INFLATION??? I guess Trump was right, he is NO HERO. John McCains swan song is I AM A RINO, really. I have written to McCain on some of his past blunders. Told him America would have been better off if had come home in a box. Asked for a reply, Never got it. He never replies to me either, unless its to insist that my opinions mean nothing to him and that he will do as he sees fit, which is never in my interest or that of the State of AZ or the United States of America. Replies from guys like him as canned letters that totally avoid the subject they are contacted about. Hes like our past 2 Governors in NJ. They were I got mine guys too. Issi is not coming to the United States Thr already here,and thr are a lot of them sitting in our White House and strung out among our government, If you bastards dont wake up pretty quick it will be to late. Its time to use our military here at home. Clean up Washington first,.Its turned into a quagmire of corruption and lawlessness and thr bound and determined to close the United States down.They have already started repopulating the country with everything except Americans, I dont see how anyone could be so dam dumb not to see that.What country are we going to invade when they kick us out of our own country ? We the people NEED TO CLEAN HOUSE IN WASHINGTON Hopefully, this election we can defeat McCain and install someone in that position who will support his constituents. He has never ever kept his campaign promises. How do huge bonuses at the VA improve veterans care? When the rebellion comes, RINO McCain will be hanging from the same tree as Obama. Somebody needs to stop this. Im going to call Ted Cruz Monday. John, time to leave with what little post Vietnam honor you have left. You have over stated your welcome. They should put McCain, Graham, Hillary everyone else in Congress who wants to overthrow other countries using depraved terrorists, on the front lines in Syria. Right on oh yea, I like that idea. And, if youre Jeb Bush, you should go with them! As a twenty-year USAF technician living in Arizona for almost thirty years, I feel I have the right to comment on Judas John McCains NON-SERVICE to this country which is simply that NON-SERVICE! I voted for him twice and even then I was doubting him. At this point I wouldnt even give that cretin a wave from across the street. He is nothing more than a slug! Thank you, Airman, for serving, from a FELLOW Airman. Thank you both for your service and God Bless. Thank YOU, Raymond! You look old enough to know that it has been the DemocRats who have consistently voted against our vets throughout the years. You should be ashamed of yourself! It would be, and always has been, the conclusion that John McCain is hiding facts about his involvement in Vietnam. Many of us who were there know that his cooperation with the enemy was a patriotic disgrace. If he did not conduct himself inappropriately while in enemy hands, he would be more forthcoming about his tenure there. He was known to be a reckless pilot and his peers were not surprised when he was taken prisoner. He is all about funding both sides of every conflict in the world and you always see his ugly face whenever a new conflict emerges anywhere. Thank you RINOs for colluding with your brother DemocRats to bring our country down! I enlisted during the Vietnam war and if I knew then what I know now I wouldnt have enlisted. You are right, all our wars are for the super rich and the zios. There are no jobs for the young people today and the military is about the only place that pays higher wages than the hamburger joints. We spend billions on illegals and people that wouldnt work if you gave them a job and then crap on our veterans. This group that I just mentioned distributes and buy the illegial drugs for the super rich, that is why they are wanted and needed. In the late 60s after I got out of the service an elderly gentleman told me why we were in vietnam, he said it was for oil. Years later I read an article in the newspaper that told of oil being found offshore of Nam. McCain is no longer an American war hero,in my mind he never was. He now showed his true colors are not red white and blue,his colors and flag are ovomits flag one for Muslims and the comunist. He needs his butt drumed out of our country. time for john to check into the old folks home,as for va benefits when i got out i tried to use them once , and found out the paper work wasnt worth my time, and trump is right just because jhon was a pow , doesnt make him a hero , in the last 15 years he has bin more of a traytor then a hero, remember obomas one liner , hay john you lost, i hope arizona wakes up and tosses him out of the senate Mr. Songbird, as fellow POWs called him, should never have been elected in the first place. Him and Hanoi Jane shouldnt see the outside world ever again. Both are traitors and liars. McCain and Hanoi Jane are two peas in a pod. Both are turn-coats of the worst kind. Both should be sent back to Hanoi and let those animals deal with them. Stop giving money and benefits to the damn ILLEGAL ALIENS and TERRORISTS and take care of LEGAL American citizens and our service members, its not really that difficult to figure out. The not-so-distinguished McSenator from Arizona is a disgrace to this country, the state of Arizona and the veterans who fought the unfounded wars encouraged by him and that made him filthy rich by accepting bribes from defense contractors. What these self-serving politicians are doing to this country is unconscionable and the only reason they are letting it happen is because they, themselves, are considered privileged characters by they, themselves, and they have nothing under the sun to worry about unlike the rest of us who want them out of their cushy jobs and cant seem to oust the useless s.o.b.s. Our veteran are living on the streets and as far as the government is really concerned they served there purpose and are useless to them now. Thaaats Johnnyno, no, Not Carson this time Ill make this simple, John McCain is and has been closing I knew that John McCain looked too damn good to have spent NEVER THOUGHT ID HEAR MYSELF UTTER THESE WORDS BUT HERE IT COMES , McCain is UNTRUSTWORTHY, he has been moving to the other side and my opinion is because of his young wife . Something else is VERY TROUBLING, BUSH , stated he WOULD NOT QUESTION THE ACTION OF ob , but he attacks his own party , Why? The only way we he People of The USA are going to have a fair and true government is to take it back by any means necessary from these communists. Remember that McCain was held as a prisoner in a communist camp and was tortured into communist thinking. So what side does he choose since his communistic indoctrination in Hanoi. You got it COMMUNISM He isnt no hero like Donald said. Hes a lowlife POS commie.. The same for all these other traitors who call themselves Democrats and moderate GOP consevatives What does the KJV bible say about a double minded man? Having been a vet, and still the same treatment drags on until the service men/woman get the ball rolling that the muky lucks want securtity and such, let them fight their own battles they initiate!!!!!! mccain needs to get locked up for being the traitor that he is a damn rhino. As much as I sympathize with Sen. McCain because of his POW situation, I do NOT agree in any way to his actions against those who protect us and HIM. He needs to be made to apologize to every one in the US military, and then be removed from office. Once more you get a glimpse of the reality that is Washington DC and its Wonder People. Wonder who keeps paying them off. The money people. Do you see any difference between McCain and Obama? Why dont McCain and McConnell both do the country a real favor and blow their brains out, and make Graham clean up the mess! These are truly some sick SOBs Hey McCain and the rest of you idiots. Most of you never served and the one proposing this fiasco acts like he didnt. When the member of the Senate sign a contract that says they must fight for the people (US) that they work for in case of war, then you can start thinking about changing things. But until then,shut up and let adults take care of business. These Veterans signed a contract that guaranteed them these benefits, you cant arbitrarily change a contract that has been put into effect or served upon. And he is still getting $50K per year for being a POW. I know of no other POW getting $50K annually.But thats another story,right Mr. McCain? From what I heard from a former Prisoner of the North Viets (who died in the 70s from the bamboo shoots He had been fed every third day or so for Six Years) that Mc Cain was a turn coat. Some people got mad when when Trump mentioned his thoughts on this subject a short time back. When is Congress going to get serious and start proposing cuts to their pay, health benefits and overgenerous retirement pay? And when are they going to get serious about accepting gifts and such from lobbyists? If they want to trim the fat in government they need to start at the top with themselves and other high paying government jobs with outrageous bennies! This pos has never helped veterans JOHN McCAIN is just a old coot that is brain dead, mind is little warped, but if you notice the President and Congress are all about helping everybody with our tax payer money but AMERICANS, this is our money they are giving away. It is time for this to stop. We need to send these incompetent people that we pay with our tax payer money that dont look after the American People to the house. Let them work and spend their own money. From captured military hero to a anti-American Obama lap dog. This traitor needs to be treated like the traitor he has become. As well as supporting Al qaeda, McCain is a staunch Zionist also working to carve out more territory for Israel. SONGBIRD is a COWARD and a TRAITOR he is NO national HERO to the Veterans of the Vietnam era! Mccain should be arrested for being an enemy of the people(military). He was a POW and had a medal of honor bestowed on him, bullshit, he needs to give it back. If anything is cut, it needs to be their salarys, theirs and the house of Rep., also the welfare, medical for welfare types and their is a bunch of B/S programs in this country that could be done away with and save a ton of money. These aliens need to be shipped out and back to sandniggerland. and the mexs need to be put back across the border. That brown clown has ruined this country, and the people that put him in office need to be shipped out to his country of orign, was that Kenya, maybe. Just what I suspected. He is the biggest reason Obama is in WH. Dont tell me this is a surprise. Put him on the POS list as well. Oh thats right. He already is. Its way past time for mccain to go, like ten years ago !!!! 
1	In a surprise announcement with far-reaching theological implications, Jesus Christ The Nazarene, founder of Christianity and spiritual leader of nearly two billion people, revealed Monday that He has converted to 'the one true religion' of Islam. Christ (left) consults with his new spiritual advisor, the Righteous Hassan Abdul al-Aziz. The controversial announcement has sent shockwaves through religious circles around the globe. 'Allah is the name of the One and Only God,' Christ said. 'Allah has 99 beautiful names: He is known as The Gracious, The Merciful, The Beneficent, The Creator, The All-Knowing, The All-Wise, The Lord Of The Universe, The First, The Last and many more. He has revealed Himself unto Me through the holy words of the blessed Qur'an, and I have put My trust and faith in Him.' As part of His conversion, Christ said He has taken a new name, Isa Ibn Maryam al-Salaam Christ Shabazz. Christ, 33, is urging Christians worldwide to renounce His former religion of Christianity and join Him in embracing the Muslim way of life. 'People of all nations, in the past, you have heard Me say that whosoever shall believe in Me shall not die, but have eternal life,' Christ said. 'But now, I say unto you, forget I ever said that. There is only one holy revelation of Allah, the Qur'an, which was dictated to the Prophet Mohammed, Praise Be Unto Him, by the Archangel Jibreel in the seventh century after I died.' According to Christ, the beauty and perfection of the Qur'an's Surahs are without equal in all creation, encompassing and surpassing both the Judaic Torah and the New Testament Gospels of His apostles. The former Christian messiah went on to cite Surah Aal'imraan 3:67, which reads, 'This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.' 'What could be more clear?' Christ said. 'I was wrong, and I know that now,' He added. 'I deeply regret any problems or confusion I may have caused.' The controversial retraction of two millennia of Christian doctrine has provoked strongly divided reaction. Millions of devout Christians, insisting that obeisance to Christ's commands is the cornerstone of their faith, have heeded His instructions and converted to Islam. Millions more, however, have decried the recalcitrant Christ's apostasy, breaking ties with Him and calling His conversion 'a heathen act' of 'utmost blasphemy before Himself.' 'Jesus, or Isa Shabazz, or whatever He's calling Himself these days, is the way, the truth and the light. It says so in the Bible,' said devout Catholic Kathleen Langan of Cork, Ireland, kneeling toward Mecca for the first time. 'My loyalty to Him is absolute. If He told me to be a Buddhist, I'd do it. All praise and thanks to Allah.' Christ (uppermost left) joins fellow Muslims in prayer. Ruth-Anne Girolamo, a Sunday school teacher in Stillwater, OK, disagreed. 'I've been a Bible-believing Christian all my life, and nothing, not even a direct order from Christ Himself, is going to change that,' Girolamo said. 'If Christ is going to leave the fold and become a sinner, we'll just have to go on worshipping Him against His will.' The Roman Catholic Church is just as divided: Approximately half the members of the Vatican's College of Cardinals have advocated embracing Islamic law, while the other half is calling for Christ's immediate excommunication and recommending the interim worship of Pope John Paul II until a suitable replacement deity can be found. In perhaps the oddest development, the Jews For Jesus organization announced Monday that it has split into three separate groups: Jews Still For Jesus, Jews For Allah, and Jews For Just Being Jews Again. Christ said He arrived at the decision to convert after centuries of deep soul-searching and contemplation. But it was not until last week's Good Friday holiday, He said, that His true spiritual path became clear. 'I was in church, watching all these people hold a candlelight vigil on the day of My crucifixion, when I suddenly felt a profound sense of emptiness,' Christ said. 'I got up and walked out, and just sort of wandered aimlessly for a while, wondering what it all meant. Then, I saw something I'd never noticed before. At the mosque down the street, supplicants were gathering to celebrate their weekly holy day of worship, which, by sheer coincidence, happens to be Friday.' 'I walked in nervously, unsure of why I was even there. After all, during the Crusades, My followers had slaughtered thousands of these people in My name, and I thought maybe they wouldn't accept Me,' Christ said. 'But as I listened to the Imam deliver the weekly sermon, or khutba, I felt the power of Allah in My heart. For the first time, I knew I'd found true inner peace.' 'I now know it wasn't random chance that brought Me to that mosque,' Christ continued. 'It was the will of Allah.' When asked about His future plans, Christ said His next move will be to undertake the Hajj, the holy pilgrimage to Mecca all Muslims are required to make at least once in a lifetime. After that, Christ said He hopes to take a few months off to rest and meditate before starting the next phase of His ministry: traveling to churches around the world and imploring the Christian faithful to stop believing in Him. 'My new spiritual advisor, the Righteous Hassan Abdul al-Aziz, has explained to Me that I am notnor was I everactually the Son of God, but merely one of many Prophets of the divine revelation which was to come after Me,' Christ said. 'After all, there is only one God, so any belief in a triune god, or 'trinity,' is polytheistic and contradicts the word of Allah Himself.' 'For it is written, in Surah Al-Maa'idah 5:116, 'And behold, Allah will sayO Jesus Son of Mary, did you say to men, worship me and my mother as gods beside Allah? He will replyGlory to you, I could never say what I had no right [to say].'' Christ said. 'You see? It turns out, worshipping Me isn't the key to the Gates of Heaven, after all. Salvation can only be found in the Five Pillars of Shahada, Salat, Saum, Zakat and Hajj. I can't believe how obvious it all seems to Me now.' Neither the Father nor the Holy Ghost could be reached for comment. 
3	Air Force to research non-lethal directed energy weapon bioeffects to create new exotic weaponryMadison Ruppert This may sound wildly farfetched but given that the military has researched unbelievable human enhancement technologies, weaponized hallucinations, autonomous robotic jellyfish, insect-sized killer drones and fully automated killer robots, this shouldnt be all that surprising. Furthermore, the US military has already developed a wide range of directed energy (DE) weapons ranging from the defunct Airborne Laser program to a heat ray and an overall greater emphasis on directed energy weaponsof all kinds. The Air Force Bioeffects Division recently announced a new program testing how directed energy, riot control agents, broadband light, acoustic sounds, and blunt impact materials change the body. While many people may not be familiar with radio frequency (RF) and high power microwave (HPM) emitting devices, the US Air Force says they have been at the forefront of research on the biological effects of RF/HPM radiation for more than 30 years. The Air Force announcement posted online points out that the discovery of new bioeffects could very well have defensive or offensive applications and thus contribute to the development and deployment of future DE weapons. The Air Force will conduct proteomic, genomic, and metabolomic studies that identify critical biochemical or molecular changes following exposure to DE prior to or during mission operations that assist in the prediction of health degradation. That could mean looking at how concentrated blasts of radio frequency waves and high-power microwaves manipulate our proteins, DNA and metabolites, Danger Room notes. The announcement says that they seek to investigate the basic mechanism(s) of interaction between biology and RF radiation while also discovering previously unknown bioeffects of RF exposure that may provide a defensive or offensive capability to the Air Force. Perhaps even greater than the amazingly creepy nature of this type of technology are the concerns surrounding the diplomatic problems this type of weaponry could create. Robert Beckhusen, writing for Danger Room, points out that the militarys Active Denial System was recalled from Afghanistan at least in part due to the propaganda value it would have given to the Taliban. Still, as Beckhusen points out, in the aftermath of the assault on U.S. diplomats in Benghazi and the killing of the U.S. ambassador there, the State Department touted non-lethal energy weapons as one potential defense against embassy attacks. While it may not be all that helpful diplomatically, the US military is clearly pouring money into this type of research to build directed energy weapons with the intent to actually use them. One can only struggle imagine what the future of warfare will look like at this point. Did I forget anything or miss any errors? Would you like to make me aware of a story or subject to cover?

1	Unable to walk off the sideline under his own power, Eagles coach Andy Reid was loaded onto a medical cart and driven to the 50-yard line to shake hands with Saints coach Sean Payton after their game Sunday. According to those in attendance, a hush fell over the crowd during the 11 minutes the team's medical staff huddled around Reid, attempting to safely hoist the coach onto the cart with a crew of six grown men. 'Coach Reid was conscious, but his breathing was labored and he complained of intense pain all over his body,' team physician Dr. Peter DeLuca told reporters. 'Once we got him onto the cart we had to stabilize his neck out of fear that it couldn't support his head. The good news is, we only had to use the defibrillator twice.' After completing the handshake, Reid gave a thumbs-up to indicate that he wanted the straw in his milkshake to be raised up to his mouth. 
3	Chief Scientist: Act Now or Live Through Deadly Post Antibiotic Resistance EraHeather Callaghan In only the latest round of stern warnings about the antibiotic bubble, Australias chief scientist is warning that if something drastic is not done soon, even small issues like sore throats and minor infections could be deadly one day not so far off. There is now a genuine threat of humanity returning to an era where mortality due to common infections is rife, a new report says. It was only in May that the UKs chief medical officer, Dame Sally Davies, sounded an alarm. If we dont take action, in 20 years time we could be back in the 19th century where infections kill us as a result of routine operations. She had said this at a World Health Assembly in Geneva. Beware of urgent warnings we would do well to pay attention to the offered solutions below which are more alarming than the threat. A top-level Australian scientist, Ian Chubb, affirms her warning with the report from his scientists and talks of a deadly post anti-biotics era saying that the miracle of modern drugs are already developing resistance to antibiotics at an alarming pace. We need stronger international partnerships and coalitions so that the threat of AMR [antimicrobial resistance] is fully recognised and the responsibility for reducing it is shared. Davies: But we cant really tackle it unless we get coordinated, international action, which is why were working in partnership to push it up the global political agenda. [emphasis added] Dame Sally says the threat is such that it should be added to the Governments National Risk Register of Civil Emergencies. I think shes right. So does the World Health Organisation, the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. Their repeated warnings that antimicrobial resistance is one of the greatest threats to human health have culminated in the 1020 challenge to world governments: to find 10 new antibiotics by 2020. From a UK government press release: Discussions focused on the main objectives of the new UK cross-government Antimicrobial Resistance Strategy, to be published in the summer, which include: Sobering stuff that we hardly had any knowledge of or control over until the last 20 years. Where is the hope? What are we to do? Knowledge of these traps is empowering, but what now? Terrain Theory, a vastly different paradigm, holds a lot of empowerment and was allegedly conceded to by Louis Pasteur on his death bed.Amidst a group of physicians and scientists, Claude Bernard (one of the fathers of Terrain) made the statement: The terrain is everything; the germ is nothing, and then drank down a glass of water filled with cholera. (more info) Terrain is more than a healthy immune system and a fascinating study. Its mind, body, spirit, consciousness and inner/outer environment. It means germs are attracted to a disease environment and are more a result than the cause of an issue. Healthy terrain requires alkaline environment, nutrition in and toxins out including stress, toxic emotions/thoughts and negativity. What is Your next course of action?

2	Muslims Refuse To Allow Their Kids To Recite National Anthem Because Its Offensive According to recent reports, an Islamic activist group called Hizb-ut-Tahrir is campaigning against Australia because they believe the country is enforcing democratic values and a disputed view of history. Requiring schoolchildren to sing the national anthem, and the citizenship pledge supporting democratic values, are part of an oppressive campaign by Australian authorities of forced assimilation of the Muslim community, the group commented. One could argue that if any culture knows a thing or two about forced assimilation it would be Islam. That this supposed oppression is due to an exaggerated fear of a security threat, Unthman Badar, a Hizb-ut-Tahrir spokesman continued. It is important to note that there have been documented events of world-wide terrorism inflicted by Muslims in the name of Islam. What they are describing as an exaggerated fear has very much become a reality. Further, it is assumes that when someone enters a nation for asylum, they do so with the understanding that they will comply with the principles or laws of that country. What do you think of this lawsuit? Is it absolutely ridiculous? 
2	New Videos Just Leaked The Frightening Development Of Martial Law [WATCH] Over the past few weeks, the Obama administration and the media have been quick to criticize any Americans that are concerned about Operation Jade Helm 15. Meanwhile, the military continues to take over the southwest. A new series of videos released on YouTube make it clear that the scope of President Obamas military exercise exceed anything we could have imagined. The video sets show amazing quantities of military equipment being shipped throughout the southwest for the exercise, and some equipment being staged behind a Walmart. The equipment being hauled through broad daylight is simply astounding. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Are Americans right to be concerned about this? 
2	Top U.S. Generals Reveals We Have Not Contained ISIL According to recent reports, military experts are exposing Obama for lying to the American people about the state of ISIS. They are also criticizing him for his lack of urgency in the war on ISIS, something conservatives have been arguing for months. According to Gen. Joseph Dunford, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, we have not contained ISIS the way that Obama said we have. This video was released shortly after Obama told ABC news in an interview that we had contained ISIS and that they were not gaining any ground in Iraq or Syria. The interview took place the day before the Paris terror attacks. This confirms what we already know, but its still important to watch. Obama cant get away with deceiving the American public. Watch the video and tell us what you think. Are we in desperate need of a real leader in the White House? 
1	On Sunday, Chris Sorum, 26, rekindled his relationship with Kate Mulberry, the ex-girlfriend Sorum's best friend Danny Weir had spent the previous week mercilessly criticizing. Sorum and reconciled ex-girlfriend Mulberry, who Weir (inset) prematurely lambasted. 'He told me it really was finally over between the two of them,' Weir said. 'So the night after the breakup, I took Chris out drinking and just started going off on what a colossal bitch I'd always thought Kate was. I told him everything I hated about her, stuff I never would've said if they were together. Like how psychotically possessive and controlling she was. And how she used to act like a know-it-all about shit she knew nothing aboutlike theater, which she thought she was an expert in just because her mom did lighting at some repertory company. Whoops.' Added Weir: 'I'm also pretty sure I called her a 'hatchet-faced hellbeast.'' Trying to help Sorum get over what appeared to be a permanent breakup, Weir spent most of the week putting down Mulberryand encouraging his friend to do the same. 'He really opened up and told me all the things he didn't like about Kate,' Weir said. 'And when I badmouthed her, for once he was agreeing with me instead of defending her like he usually does. He was like, 'How could I have been so stupid?' At one point, he even thanked me because he said I really put into perspective how much better off he is without her. Well, I guess I didn't put it into that much perspective, after all.' Though Sorum and Mulberry have broken up seven times during their three-year relationship, Weir had always remained quiet about Mulberry's various faults. 'In the past, I held my tongue because I figured they'd be back together,' Weir said. 'This time, though, Kate slept with her Pilates instructor, and Chris found out about it. I've never seen him so angry. I thought to myself, 'Yes! I'm finally gonna get to tell him everything I think of that witch.'' Weir said he now fears that Sorum will tellor has already toldMulberry what he said about her. 'Even though Chris was right there complaining with me, I said some pretty foul shit about Kate,' Weir said. 'If push comes to shove, he'll probably side with her, even though he totally agreed with me when I said she has a way of twisting his head around until he doesn't know what to believe anymore. Christ, I can't believe they're back together.' Further complicating the Sorum-Mulberry reconciliation are the second- and third-hand criticisms Weir relayed to Sorum from other friends. 'I told Chris that the guys have always hated her, especially Pete [Kelleher],' Weir said. 'One night last summer, Pete was cracking us all up with this hilarious imitation he does of Kate yanking Chris out of a room. He made me promise I would never tell Chris about the imitation, but I figured I could after the break-up. Well, now Pete is probably seriously pissed at me, too.' Thus far, Weir has suffered no backlash from Sorum, who has not spoken to him since getting back together with Mulberry. 'I'm not sure if Chris hasn't called in the last few days because he's mad at me, or because he and Kate are too busy with their make-up fucking,' Weir said. 'Hopefully, it's the latter. Who knows, maybe he doesn't even remember what I said about her. Then again, it's pretty hard to forget when somebody calls your girlfriend of the past three years 'the most shallow, moody, bitchy, manipulative, all-around unlikable person I have ever met.'' Weir said he will not be so quick to offer Sorum his opinion of Mulberry when the couple breaks up again. 'Next time, I'm gonna wait a good two months before saying anything bad about Kate,' Weir said. 'And even then, I'm gonna keep my insults nice and vague so I can retract them if need to. Make that when I need to.'

1	Though comics have long been considered a favorite pastime of children and teenagers, the continued popularity of comic books and movies for adults proves the genre isn't just for kids anymore, bold national news outlets reported for the 85,000th time this week. 'Exchanging lighthearted fare for darker subject matter, films like The Dark Knight Rises and graphic novels by authors such as Chris Ware show that comics can have immense appeal for adults,' read the groundbreaking article, making an astute and truly mind-blowing observation that had only been made 84,999 times before. 'You may think adult-oriented comic books are merely the province of Archie and Jughead, but if the current trend is any indication, one thing remains clear: Comics are growing up.' The incredibly perceptive and original article also specifically mentioned the work of writer Alan Moore, an obscure reference point that has only been used in every single article like this ever written. 
1	As the federal government shutdown stretches into its fourth day, 20 members of the Republicans Tea Party faction announced this morning they would be willing to support a clean budget resolution bill in exchange for the presidents firstborn daughter, Malia Obama. While members of the Republican Partys far-right wing have heretofore been resistant to any sort of deal with the White House over the issue of Obamacare, the Tea Party caucus authored and released a short, tersely worded statement this morning in which they agreed to a swift negotiation of an unstipulated spending bill if the president were to deliver the firstling. The girl. Bring us the girl, said Congressman Steve King (R-IA) as he stood beside fellow Tea Party leaders during this mornings press conference on the steps of the Capitol. The bill may pass, but the firstborn shall be ours. Heed our bidding, added an unblinking Phil Gingrey (R-GA). And thy wish shall be granted. According to Washington insiders, the deal would reportedly feature a continuing resolution to fund government operations through November 15 without any modifications to the Affordable Care Act passed in 2010, including implementation of the individual mandate and the much-maligned tax on medical devices, while Malia Obama would legally fall under the protectorship of the Tea Party caucus. White House officials have declined to comment. According to Congressional aides, if the White House agrees to deliver Malia, as well as a pint of Michelle Obamas blood, a rams horn, and a shard of obsidian to the basement of the Cannon House Office Building by this evening, a House vote on the bill could take place as early as Saturday. Obamacare may be a scourge, but lo, our eyes are cast upon matters of greater import, explained Tea Party Republican Justin Amash of Michigans third district. Preparations must be made. The hour is nigh. While some political analysts argued the surprise announcement suggests a weakening in resolve of the faction, opening the door for further movement on their stance, several Republican staffers have already indicated that the caucus will not negotiate on their declared terms and that any attempts to substitute Sasha for Malia will be fruitless. It must be Malia, stated Mick Mulvaney (R-SC). First of birth. First of blood. First of the reckoning. Experts added that in addition to limiting the damage of the current government shutdown, the deal could also avoid a protracted and dangerous battle over raising the nations debt ceiling in the coming weeks if members of the Tea Party determine Malia has fulfilled the prophecy. The Tea Party has spoken, said Georgetown professor of political science Richard Drape. The deal has been wrought. All bear witness to the fruits of the Great Compromise, for it is with us. At press time, a teary-eyed Michelle Obama was informing Malia that she will always love her. 
1	To 14-year-old Milton Hervishbolt, the thrill of an efficient checkmate used to be the most rousing bodily sensation imaginable. Before his first sexual experience, Milton Hervishbolt was considered the top under-15 chess mind in the nation. He has vowed never to play the game again. A pawn promotion for a last-second Queen assault used to stoke the fire of lifes passion. A careful study of grandmasters like Ponziani, Fisher and Karpov used to occupy every synapse of his mind. But no more. Milton recently had his first sexual experience, chess coach Sergei Kostronvich said. And his interest in the subtleties and beauty of the game of chess has been usurped by a newfound interest in ejaculation. Hervishbolts experience, delineated by Kostronvich at a press conference, took place at a downtown hotel where a juniors chess tournament was held last weekend. According to Kostronvich, the busty wife of a tournament organizer lured Hervishbolt to her hotel room and rubbed his genital region briefly, causing him to ejaculate. He then promptly fled. Im not sure what she did, Hervishbolt said, But it felt even better than when I beat Ned Tiedelman with a Muzio gambit in the third-level junior masters last fall. Many young chess masters leave the game after discovering sex, according to a recent Chess Monthly study. The human orgasm is reportedly very pleasurable, chess analyst Doris Gyklina said, herself once a grandmaster. From the time of first orgasm on, a chess prodigy, if given the choice between the carnal forces of human sexuality and playing a game of chess, will invariably choose sex. Especially if it is with another human. According to his coach, Hervishbolts only previous contact with a female took place in a tri-state rank trial. Hervishbolt was pitted against a 9-year-old female opponent, Sandra Kloust, renowned in her upstate New York school district for her undefeated elementary chess record. It didnt matter to Milton that she was a female, Kostronvich said. Reportedly, the girls flat chest and underdeveloped pheromone glands made her incapable of arousing the boy. Hervishbolts seductress, 43-year-old Wendy Menkis, supports Hervishbolts decision to give up the game. I have always fantasized about tea-ching a fresh young boy the art of making love, Menkis said. I find their youth and inexperience an in-credible turn-on. When asked, Men--kis admitted she does not care about chess, nor does she have any interest in learning the intricacies of the game. Hervishbolt, also no longer interested in chess, plans to pursue more sexual experiences. I will employ the technique of encirclement to ensnare a female, he said, outlining his plans for the immediate future. Threat-ening a for-king check, i.e. N-K7ch, I will capture her En Passant, much like the pawn. It is at that point that I will be in position to touch her boob. 
1	Saying that it's an item that he has been eyeing for a long time, local uninsured man Dan Kluge told reporters Monday that hes hoping to receive a gift card to his local hospital for Christmas. I told my family and friends that if anyones stumped on what to get me this year, I definitely wouldn't say no to a Midwest Memorial gift certificate, said the 28-year-old who has lacked even the most basic health coverage since leaving his parents insurance plan, adding that he would be grateful whether the card came with a prepaid monetary value or if it was good for one ER visit of any cost. I know the price might be pretty steep, so maybe a few people could go in on it together. I just hope someone gets it for meit really is the only thing on my wish list this year. At press time, Kluge was adding the final touches to his Christmas tree while teetering on the top step of a ladder precariously placed next to the fireplace.

The soft-spoken neurosurgeon is quickly proving that hes not afraid to be controversial. That is a trait that has been clear since the 2013 National Prayer Breakfast, when Carson took the opportunity to criticize President Obama. Watch the clip below: 
2	Teacher Demands Christian Boy Surrender His Bible, He Says No, See What Happens Next According to reports, one Christian boy and his father decided to take a stand after being asked to put away his Bible in school. Giovanni Rubeo, refused. Rubeo claims that he was minding his own business when his teacher, Mrs. S. Thomas directed students to begin reading their book of choice for independent reading. Giovanni pulled out his Bible, and was told by Thomas to put the religious book away. When Giovanni refused, the teacher demanded that the boy call his father so that she could reprimand him and inform them of the disturbing situation. In a voicemail that has since gone viral, Thomas clearly articulates her attempt to violate the boys First Amendment rights. Luckily, Giovannis father received the email with outrage, after his son had already told him about the whole situation. His father instructed him to stay strong in his faith and deny the teachers unconstitutional demands. What do you think? Is this just another example of what is wrong with America? 
3	Hillary Clinton And The Funding of Al-Qaeda Terrorists In Libya And SyriaBy Brandon Turbeville In regards to Libya, it was well known and even criticized by Libyan officials that Clintons State Department was actively funneling weaponry to rebels with ties to al-Qaeda. Of course, the rebels actually were al-Qaeda as the Libyan rebellion itself was nothing more than the use of proxy forces by the United States and NATO whose ranks were made up of terrorists, jihadists, and mercenaries. As the Washington Times reported in February, 2015 Libyan officials were deeply concerned in 2011, as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was trying to remove Moammar Gadhafi from power, that weapons were being funneled to NATO-backed rebels with ties to al Qaeda, fearing that well-armed insurgents could create a safe haven for terrorists, according to secret intelligence reports obtained by The Washington Times. The reports included a 16-page list of weapons that Libyans supposedly tracked to the rebels from Western sources or their allies in the region. The memos were corroborated by a U.S. intelligence asset familiar with the documents as well as former top Gadhafi regime official Mohammed Ismael. NATO has given permission to a number of weapons-loaded aircraft to land at Benghazi airport and some Tunisian airports, the intelligence report said, identifying masses of weapons including tanks and surface-to-air missiles. That report, which was prepared in English so it could be passed by a U.S. intelligence asset to key members of Congress, identified specific air and sea shipments observed by Libyan intelligence moving weapons to the rebels trying to unseat the Gadhafi regime. There is a close link between al Qaeda, Jihadi organizations, and the opposition in Libya, the report warned.[1] Elliot Jager of NewsMax also points out Clintons treachery in the funding and support of jihadists in Libya when he writes that Clinton was one of the principal officials who promoted the idea of supporting terrorists in the African country. Jager states, Moammar Gadhafi, the Libyan dictator overthrown in 2011 by NATO-backed rebels, had provided important information that led to the killings of key al-Qaida operatives and disrupted planned terror attacks against U.S. interests, former Gadhafi aide Mohammed Ismael confirmed to The Washington Times.[2] Then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton became the prime mover in the decision by the Obama administration to back anti-Gadhafi insurgents, The New York Times reported in 2011.[3] Clinton, along with Samantha Power, then at the National Security Council, and Susan Rice, the U.N. ambassador at the time, convinced Obama to back the rebels. Yet even after the disaster in Libya, Hillary did not learn her lesson. She also promoted the idea of assisting the rebels in Syria, who were wholly conceived and controlled by NATO and the United States to begin with. Indeed, she actively participated in the act of doing so.[4] In fact, even after it became clear to the world that the fighters known to the general public as rebels were actually terrorists and jihadists, she continued to publicly lobby to support them, even criticizing Obama for not doing enough to train, fund, arm, and direct them. Obviously, the idea that Clinton was unaware of the jihadist nature of the fighters in Syria is absurd. Of course she knew. Any informed observer knew. Clinton was simply one more State Department official in a whole collection of American and Western officials who were involved in the support, funding, and directing of al-Qaeda and ISIS fighters in Syria for the purposes of destroying the secular government of Bashar al-Assad. This alone is reason enough that Hillary Clinton should never be allowed to hold the office of the Presidency.

How can any American let a traitors run your country. what country doesnt have a traitor in charge? Russia, China, Iran .. for starters. right. you think those leaders are working for their citizens? Ahh dictators and despots Three countries that are soooo great towards their citizens. The countries I listed are those who treat their citizens well. If you want a list of those that dont, how about starting with North Korea, Israel and the USSA. with North Korea at the top? Have you ACTUALLY been to the middle East? I have. Or do you think that the car bombs and stuff is just propaganda? Genital mutilation for young girls is REALLY treating you people well. Oh, wait, wait, I know how about those STONINGS AND BEHEADINGS?! WOW! I cant believe we just dont treat OUR citizens that well! You would do well just to not say anything than to open your mouth and show how ignorant you are of the real world. And, whos been doing most of this? Its the terrorists whom Russian jet pilots are bombing. You dont have to actually be in the ME to know that, moron. The alternative medias been doing a great job exposing the real perpetrators of the atrocities you mentioned. Its not fanaticism, its the nature of the religion. If you believe what these nutbags in the media say about it being a religion of Peace, you are deluding yourself. No matter what country you go to whether its the middle East or Africa (which by the way Ive been there also) its of no consequence. The Muslim faith has NO room for any other religion within their midst. When large numbers congregate into a host country, instead of blending with the said society, they do all they can to spread out and change said host country. Quit being so naive. You only see what the media wants you to see. Ive, unfortunately, see things firsthand and its NOT sunshine and sparkling unicorns. They are the professionals when it comes to mass murder. In an Islamic society, we wouldnt even have this conversation because you (being a woman) are a second class citizen. For you to speak without being spoken to would cause severe repercussions on your part. Youd be lucky to speak, let alone still be breathing. You just have no clue. And you call me a moron, youre just a plain ol foolish tool of those who wish to RULE us not those who represent us. Good luck. I have to digress on this. Im not a naive individual who was just born yesterday; Ive learned about different religions from textbooks in the past and articles listed in Jeff Renses website. Its you whos naive about religion. The three Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) DO have sects that are fanatical; so does Buddhism .. although that religion in itself is peaceful. Agreed! I just wish the (bankster highjacked puppet) US Federal Government did not have as its stated policy, the funding, training, and arming of freaked out extremist Muslim, (or any other) terrorists! When I say this, I mean BOTH sides of this- democrats and republicans. And do you really think Isis is the ONLY terrorist group out there? And that they are confined on the other side of the Atlantic? Ill pray for you that hopefully you will receive some enlightenment. Good points. I do NOT want people like this in the US. We have enough problems already, why import more? I used to believe all of the rhetoric about this free Nation we live in. But hey, we currently imprison a much larger % of our population in the US than ANY other Nation. Most other countries have banned the foods our FDA tries to tell us are safe, and even China has outlawed water fluoridation. Makes one wonder what is meant by the word free when its coming from the US. How about the good ole USA? Must you ask? Not just askingNoticed it wasnt mentioned in any above messages. The USSA does have a traitor in charge .. his name is Barry Soetoro aka Obama. When is SOMEONE who could do something about this EVER going to do soAs I said before, is true, is happening, needs to be stopped !!! Unfortunately, the USSA is finished; thus, we have to depend on Russian President Vladimir Putin to do it for us. The last POTUS who tried to take this country back was John F. Kennedy, and he was assassinated on 22 Nov. 1963 .. No succeeding Presidents have done anything to regain Americas sovereignty since that fateful day. Not much good left now in that old canister They may not have the concisely delineated laws on Got the thesaurus out.huh Wanna borrow one, Ive got one extra ferya! If youre talking about China, Russia and Iran .. the three major adversaries of Islamic State terrorists .. they dont treat traitors kindly; they prosecute them; then execute them. China and Russia use either a shot to the back of the neck or the noose; Iran either hangs its traitors or beheads them. Many countries,you cynical liar. Stupid, uniformed, uncaring americans! We already have one in office. We sure do not need another. Yes, Bill Clinton let our enemies make repeated attacks with impunity and the guys who attacked the World Trade Center trained in America for 5 years while Bill protected us. 911 would have occured during Bills philandering neglect except for the one mamber failing to enter America for nearly a year. What a nice present for W and with virtually no information sharing during the transition. Bill should bear the responsibility for 911! Ron youre in the wrong group. you should be in retarded group. ..just letting you know Kinda takes one 2 know 1, huh? THANK YOU! We really do need to study the real history of WHO was originally behind this two party construct, where our ONLY choice is supposed to be Coke or Pepsi, but they are BOTH bad for us. We are NOT this ignorant. I refuse to believe that we are THIS ignorant, so I will keep on trying to help free people of this limited belief-system that was constructed FOR US as a means of controlling us. This two party system was very cleverly devised, long ago, by the people who run our banking systems. These are the super elite whos names you will NEVER see in Forbes, even though they are worth TRILLIONS. When we argue about petty-assed stuff like they want us to, and we invest our egos in party loyalty we keep choosing between Coke or Pepsi, but our real enemies own BOTH brands. Lets take the time to do a little research and learn about the ACTUAL issues that directly affect us, the FACTS that affect our freedoms, affect our ability to even pursue happiness. Without our liberties intact, NOTHING ELSE matters. I do not CARE whether it was a creep (political puppet) on the left or the right, who has been treasonously shredding this country, I will NOT defend their actions out of this asinine party loyalty ego-driven, fool-hearty, game that was engineered to keep control of us all. So, I am voting Trump. There, I said it. Hes not a party guy. The establishment elites are even more desperate to keep him out than they are to keep Bernie out. Trump called the Bush family out on their involvement in 9/11, (which caused Jeb Bush to drop out of the race ASAP) and hes also going in for the kill in exposing Hillary in ways even Fox News is afraid to do! He is strong on issues I care about. On the ones where I do not agree with Trump, I figure I can at least SURVIVE to press my stance on those, IF this country can come back financially. I am surely a feminist (not the kind that burns her bra and grows her armpit hair;-) but this does NOT mean I stupid enough to vote for Hillary, no matter how trendy it would be to have a female President. I KNOW what a murdering, treasonous, scumbag, sell-out, NWO puppet that hag is, and she makes me sick to my stomach. I am an inventor, and I want to do business. I NEED to see this country FREE and with some level of prosperity in order to have a fighting chance at pursuing happiness. I dont know how much of what I have said here you agree with, but I speak my truth, no matter how untrendy it is. Peace, and thanks. So TRUE! But this is NOT about party loyalty. BOTH parties are controlled at the top, so it doesnt matter which one gets the White House, because our puppet masters own both horses in the race. Trump recently implicated the Bush family in 9/11, and rightly so. No party loyalty going on with Trump;-) It is well documented that on 9/11 President Bush moved heaven and earth to fly the the Bin Laden family out of the country. His brother purchased the security company for the World Trade center such months before 9/11. And his secretary of defense order the Pentagon to stand down as the building was being assaulted. We never did get to see a single frame showing an actual plane going into that building, even though there were over a hundred security cameras on that side of the building. Now we have Obama/Hillary documented as funding, training, and ARMING Muslim terrorists. Sounds to me like both parties are working for the same people. Are you saying that some rumors about the Bill Clinton-assisted attacks on one day during the start of Bush 8-years in some irrational thoughts could in any way compare to the EXTREME attacks and wanton killings, beheadings, rapes, burning deaths , etc. during Obamas reign. Seems like molehills and the Rocky Mountains comparison. Weak! Liberal Democrat ramblings and waste of print space, Joy. Also, how on earth did you miss THIS part of what I wrote? Now we have Obama/Hillary documented as funding, training, and ARMING How is it liberal to point THIS out? Oh, I understand, you are programmed to protect your party so you have a knee-jerk reaction to any suggestion that any republican might not be perfect, and if the criminal happens to be republican, you will turn a BLIND EYE. This is exactly how people on the left are programmed. They will insanely defend even the most heinous acts, so long as they are committed by their party members. And all the while, this country is destroyed by BOTH sides. Stop wasting my time. I can stand listening to your incessant babble. Try facing facts and quit fence-stradling. You are onlt helping the liberals try to equivocate their treasonous acts by drawing some equality of the parties. Democrats are THE problem with America. End of chat! No fence sitting here sir. I am voting TRUMP, (and still would, even if he were not on the republican ticket). I will do this even though I am not crazy about ALL of his positions. He is the ONLY candidate (left in the race) on either side, who supports gun rights, auditing the Federal Reserve banking cartel, who is standing up telling to the truth about vaccines, (big pharma scams). Trumps STRONG on gun rights. He wants to get this country out of poverty. He doesnt believe we should be letting a pile of CIA trained, armed, and funded terrorists into this country, (no matter what religion they are, or where they come from). And Trump is strong on quite a few other things that matter to me VERY much. Again, this is NOT about being loyal to a party. That game is what got us into the messes we are in now. Whenever a republican commits destructive or even treasonous acts against our constitution, republicans defend them. Whenever its a commie-leftist-liberal-democrat committing vile and treasonous acts, (even doing things that the liberals say they hate) their democrat party loyalists defend their actions, and cover for them. Whether its a democrat or a republican, whenever these sold-out politicians threaten our Constitutional rights (and go along with UN treaties that harm our interests), we MUST expose them, rally against them, for their TREASON against all the people of this Nation, (left or right). MOST people want freedom and some measure of prosperity, but our egos get in the way, and we end up selling out on our own ideals, giving up on our own best interests, just to protect our party so we can feel like we were right. OBAMA is SCUM!!!! He is a murdering, treasonous, Marxist! And Hillary is no better. But the fact that they are scum, does NOT then mean all republican NWO sellouts who treasonously work to destroy this country are somehow good. Trying to cover for a murderer by saying, yeah, but that other murderer is worse, so we should LOVE this murderer: is just RETARDED. I guess what Hilter did makes Jeffrey Dalmer great in your book? So why not do a nice Dalmer worship under your reasoning. They are BOTH evil. Ron, just so you know, I have NO DOUBT that the Clintons were parties to many false flag events as well as many other treasons, and I have no reason to doubt they may also have been supportive of, and/or involved in, 9/11. Its because I know WHO they work for, who they serve, that I can pretty much tell what they are up to MOST of the time, DESTROYING this country. Just like the OTHER people who work for the SAME banking powers who are presently running this country from behind the scenes, but doing so with a different colored hat on. Mentioning facts which have been proven to show members of BOTH parties have been involved in treason and atrocities against the people of this country is in NO WAY a showing of support for EITHER party. I am NOT a liberal. (Unless you want to return to the TRUE nature of the word, FREEDOM instead of this crazy new definition where it means tyrannical guvment control, waiting around for handouts in exchange for all the liberties weve given up.) I do NOT want socialism. I am STAUNCHLY in support of the US Constitution, and not just slivers of it here or there. The right to bear arms ends with a PERIOD, after the words shall not be infringed, just like privacy, free speech, etc. I mean you no disrespect. I am just very frustrated at where this country has gone, and I believe we have been totally betrayed by BOTH parties. Peace, FREEDOM, and prosperity to you sir Well then get out there and stop em We the people are not particularly pleased as punch that we have leaders who not only are willing to give aid and comfort to our nations enemies (like the one still chanting death to America) or employing terrorists (which this entire administration is compliant in) to destabilize the region. Making all the sacrifices our military has made fighting those self same assclowns irrelevant. The problem is to many idiots here have their eyes wide shut to facts and believe these fools and are ready and willing to put one of those traitors back in the top spot again. THANK YOU for telling this basic TRUTH! Bill Clinton used Al-Quaida in Bosnian to fight and blackmail Christian Serbs ! Lest not forget the Neo-Cons!!! Think first and foremost Senator John McCain. I agree 100%! The Wicked Witch of the West. NATO General Breedlove is the head Flying Monkey. The fat lady has sung for the Clinton Klan. Still, not too loud though Three words: Hearingshandcuffshanging. Photo in article looks exactly like Miss Piggy! I believe that was photo-shopped She calls her secret service people personally trained pigs. She is the pig. Isnt treason defined as aiding and abetting enemies of the United States? Apparently, not if one is a Democrat. Then, as Rush Limbaugh points out, treason isnt treason, its a resume enhancement. The fact that there are so many in America, not only willing but abetting the overlooking of such abominable actions (like the media) should scare everyone to death. How are the American people willing to overlook the behavior of this criminaland the one that is still infesting the White House? You dont want to use an oxytocin junkie to help make your point. ..do you Your point? Do I have to explain this Clearly, not. See above. Didnt say I Was or was not a fan..youre listening to a an oxytocin opiate junkie. ..who lied to you. ..and said all drug users should be jailed. ..when at the same he was using 50 oxytocin pills a day. ..legal heroine Stretching those numbers a bit dont you think. 50, really, he wouldnt be able to make it to the mic let alone possibly be breathing. Since we are making observations, I think everyone here, including those who dont agree with my views would say You are a Troll.not here to share ideas or views but to inflame and aggravate everyone. Interesting that a compassionate Liberal cannot applaud Rush for getting clean. Yet, the selling of aborted fetus parts is OK. Every lie that this rotten person tells simply reinforces that her supporters have no conscience and are, in fact, delusional. Kind of reminds me of Jim Jones and Kool-Aid. I wasnt talking about Clinton. ..I dont give sh*the what say about her. Wow look at you kiss rushs fat assYou sound very in love with him thats nice. you found love.of course you hate hillary your in love with a man..I now understand Y NOT? whatever it takes, pal He is usurper Obama. Not president Obama !!!!! Too right! Tell everyone the more that know the better. This traitor needs to be in jail Hillary fits every qualification for Prison. Anyone who supports her run for Presidency is NOT an American!!! Why support her. Have her arrested and PUT IN PRISON, not just a slap on the wrist if there not American then who are they How a COUNTRY can stand by and let that bitch, hillary, do all of her traitor activities is beyond me She should have be convicted and HUNG a long time ago. Good for you Irvanilliterate people should still speak their mind. With a little hard work soon you will be able to complete a sentence. Now arent we smartASSHOLE! So what the article is saying is that hillary supplied the guns to the militants that killed the ambassador and his staff at Benghazi. She should be in prison not running for president. Of course she would lie about Benghazi. She was the primary mover setting it up. I wouldnt trust her with the key to my home, let alone the keys to the White House. With only what she has admitted to, anyone who would vote for her either has not been paying attention of is seriously lacking in intelligence. Are you kidding me???? Hillary clinton FUNDS, TRAINS AND BACKS AL-QUEADA???? I AM READY TO TAKE HANDCUFFS AND GO MAKE A CITIZENS ARREST FOR TREASON, AND THROW HER LIBERAL HIND END IN PRISON!!!!!! AND SHE WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT????? ANYBODY WHO VOTES FOR HER, DOES NOT HAVE A MIND!!!! Do it Randall make that citizens arresttake action. It is good that she funds TRAINSwe need better transportation Nothing should surprise anyone where Hillary Clinton is concerned. The woman has no conscience no Valerie nor any human feelings. President Obama and her policies are what has put America in jeopardy yet again. She was an abysmal Secretary of State. The only thing that she had as Secretary of State is a negotiating deals with the Clinton foundation and Bill exorbitant amount of money for speeches. She claims to care about womens rights but most of the people that she negotiated and dealt with are the worst perpetrators of abuse of women. Hillary Clinton in all of her arrogance has repeatedly committed treason against this nation in the American people. She should be in jail and not walking free. This Bit*** better get jail time for this -This was pure treason.!!!!!!!!!!!! Why is Congress or the House waiting to have her arrested as a traitor and abetting the enemy. SHE IS NOT ABOUT THE LAW. Obamas DOJ controls who gets prosecuted. THIS is why Hillary is safe. What I cant understand is why Hillary ignored the ambassadors six hundred request for more security in Benghazi. Sounds as if Hillary Clinton is responsible for the deaths of four patriotic Americans serving their country. Hillary put the hit out on Ambassador Stevens because he knew too much about her involvement in transferring weapons to Muslim terrorists in Libya. This is WHY she needed a private server for her biz and why those emails had to be scrubbed before turning the server over after a year of delays. Stevens was making noises about going to the press about the whole sorted mess just a couple of days before Hillary had HER Muslim terrorists attack the embassy with their only goal being to murder Ambassador Stevens. I wish these Congressmen investigating this would just TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH to the American people. Of course, maybe they are afraid of being murdered too? And democrats want this corrupt piece of trash for president?! nicely said young bj again the focus is on Clinton and not Obama, who is continuing his aid Exactly, Obama is getting the pass, while everyone focuses on Hillary. Who does the world actually believe was Hillarys boss? Lay down with dogs youll get up with fleas. Says it all. This is a partnership, forged when Hillary lost to Obama in their primary campaign. Before Obama was nominated, she agreed to support his run for President, in return for his promise to make her his Sec of State, and to be the nominee for President in 2016. Obama is as responsible for her traitorous acts, as she is, since he was her boss, and Commander in Chief of our military, who supported the anti-Ghadafi forces with air support. They both should hang. Brilliant. ..show me your research. interesting I agree with the truth of the deal that was struck during the democratic primaries, but I would add that Obama is NO boss. Hes just a puppet like Hillary, working for the same banksters who are presently trying to do this country in completely. Its their ONLY real goal. In the absence of convincing and convicting evidence, I have to assume he is the boss, as in a puppet can seem real, until the strings are revealed. Look at this comely Sharmutta in That Benghazi-email thingy could well be just a tip of an iceberg, What the F*%ks are saying. .Are not making sense ..is it mereally. ..head injury? ..dementia? read posts before sending them Reading comprehension issues, huh? Yes, it must be presented in a simple video these days. People dont read enough anymore;-) Dickinson Cheney is in jail..I didnt know that Jeb Bush should never be allowed to be president either, but he will be whether we like it or not. $3B assures the result. Trump was the ONLY one with the guts (on either side) to say Hillary needs to go to prison AND hes the ONLY one who was willing to rightly implicate the Bush family in 9/11. And Trump said these things on National TV. Right after this, Jeb dropped out of the race;-) Just because I am willing to look at the facts about the Bush family, does NOT mean I am a liberal or that I like Obama! Obama is a murdering, treasonous, Marxist SCUM! I am sick and tired of the name-calling, (that I must be a liberal if I see flaws in ANY republican) rather than just sharing INFORMATION so we can all save ourselves from these tyrannical freaks driving our country into complete ruin. BOTH parties have been betraying this country. They kill our Constitution from the left and when we get sick of that, they get busy killing us (our Constitution) from the right. Cruz and Bernie pay lip service to auditing the Federal Reserve, but then behind the scenes, they both gutted Rand Pauls bill to audit the Federal Reserve. But if we are republican, we are supposed to argue that ALL republicans are good, no matter WHAT they do? And no matter WHAT a democrat does, the party loyalists are supposed to support them? Cover for these cowards? Its like being tied down with an ax swinging left, then right, but each time it swings, it gets closer to all of our necks! The establishment owns and controls BOTH brands at the top, so we get to argue about petty crap differences, (and call each other names) while the REAL dangers keep coming for us. But were supposed to remain party loyalists because they only let us choose between Coke or Pepsi? This is HOW they control us. For crying out loud, how long are we going to go along with this? The BUSH family works for the SAME people Obama works for! Hillary works for the SAME people. And now that I have done my research, I can PLAINLY see that Bernie works for these SAME puppet-masters! (But he is a bit better at hiding the fact.) Trump is the ONLY one (left in the race) I see that is not outright OWNED by the REAL enemies of this country. He may get shut out of the Nomination because of it, and it does appear this is what the establishment is currently planning on doing, because the VOTERS in this party are of no consequence to those who own and control both parties. If Trump ends up being forced to run as an independent he has my vote, even though I know the electronic voting system is rigged anyway. If its a landslide, maybe God help this country PLEASE;-) Trust that Donald Trump has this information as it will prove useful in his campaign. If he doesnt have it then please forward it to him. Thank you. 
3	Police Admonish Boy for Acting Like PoliceBy Amanda Warren Freshman Trinity Martinez described the Tuesday experience: We all started coughing and I thought it just, we like had a dry throat, and then the bus driver started coughing. Freshman Brian Bonner said: It makes your throat completely dry and you cant breath and you start coughing and you dont really know why. From KRQE News: Police say the teen claims he had the pepper spray to protect himself from a bully, although the bully had already gotten off the bus when he sprayed the pepper spray. Hes facing a disorderly conduct charge for spraying the pepper spray and a tampering with evidence charge for trying to hide the pepper spray in his pants. If thats a chastisement, its a light one are they really trying to figure out if the bully is real? He is the bully! Are they eyeing him for a future position? If they had showed up and took care of business it might demonstrate too much revealing irony. And what do you think of those charges? If the charges were any heavier, people might start to wonder about these non-lethal, that is, less-than-lethal weapons used on the public with as much care and concern as this little snot used his. But think about the way the students describe the effects of pepper spray they didnt know what was happening, they suddenly got dry throats and coughed uncontrollably, and then they couldnt breathe. This kid brought a weapon to school! What about zero tolerance? For as dangerous as his deliberate actions were, the situation was wrapped up with an eerie calm almost like its 1990 again even though the news anchors note that he brought a chemical (weapon) on board. Despite what Foxs Megyn Kelly thinks, pepper spray really is a weapon. Fortunately the teen probably obtained his pepper spray from a retail outlet and did not have a service pepper spray weapon like the UC Davis cop who was made infamous through meme. Seriously, look at the canisters that law enforcement uses some of them look like fire extinguishersused to quell raging elephants. He might have actually been using mace and not pepper spray which can cause serious damage its also referred to as tear gas. Another reason he didnt exactly emulate police is that he sprayed it in the air and not directly in someones face as cops do. He didnt completely destroy a womans eye and nearly cause brain death by shooting with the nozzle directly into her eye. He didnt terrorize the public by indiscriminately spraying in a store in order to kill a squirrel. He didnt hose the faces of handcuffed Occupy students. Pepper spray was intended to be a non-lethal form of personal protection from dangerous suspects; sadly cops have changed it to a practice of sadism and even a form of killing. A way to silence someone into submission. Even mall security wants in on the killing action.But, unlike the high school boy, the cops dont get charged. People who feel powerless but want a sense of power might emulate authorities and harm others. Such as crazy ladies who use pepper spray when they want to be first in line for Black Friday that has nothing to do with personal protection. What someone does with their personal power or state-granted powers says volumes about their character it tells you everything you need to know. Think about that the next time you see cops pepper spraying the face of a handcuffed victim. Recently fromAmanda Warren: 
3	EU Bee-Killing Pesticide Ban Crumbles Under Corporate InterestsHeather Callaghan Multiple around-the-world studies and documentaries have implicated these pesticides in massive bee death since 2006, causing a great debate in the EU. selfnewss, environmentalists, scientists and even politicians were shocked and dismayed that the two-year ban suggested by the European Commission didnt pass on Friday. Major countries like UK and Germany failed to back the ban in the vote, arousing suspicions that they catered to industry interests manufactures Bayer and Syngenta, and Big Ag groups in denial. Hungary and Romania led the opposed votes. Outspoken activist group Avaaz (dot org) finds the UK public wants this ban. A poll on Wednesday showed three-quarters of the UK supporting the ban and Avaaz amassed 2.5 million signatures across Europe. Iain Keith of Avaaz said: A spokeswoman for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs felt there should be more scientific evidence before such a big move that might rock the ag industry. However, since bees pollinate and help create one-third of the produce in the West, three-quarters globally, years of mass die off would seem to be the biggest priority for agriculture to continue. The US and UK have experienced a 50% bee drop-off in the last 25 years. And there is lots of alarming scientific evidence. This mindset is upsetting to people like Prof. Dave Goulson, leader of one of the major studies pointing to neonicotinoids for bee die-off. Scientists scramble to provide proof with 6-month or longer studies, but as he says, this class of pesticides were not adequately evaluated in the first place. Yet politicians choose to ignore all of this. He believes it is mainly the manufacturers refusing to acknowledge the critical harm. A major Harvard School of Public Health study presented convincing evidence last year that an extremely low amount of neonicotinoids (imidacloprid is the worlds most used) caused CCD. They even recreated CCD with the signature keynotes: bees have disappeared except for a few dead ones nearby and food stores are still in hive with some young ones and pollen. The two culprits: exposure to neonicotinoids through pollen and nectar and through high fructose corn syrup which is often fed to bees by bee keepers (neonicotinoids are systemically used on corn).They didnt die off at first, but did with periodic low amounts of exposure at 23 weeks. The study leaders estimated that continuing massive die-off could result in a loss of billions of dollars to the ag industry. Bottom line: these pesticides simply dont do whats intended if they kill the co-creators of the worlds food supply (the ones who are not the pests!) Groups like Avaaz argue that short-term farming setbacks now to stop using neonicotinoids far outweigh a future mass farming loss if the bee population continues to rapidly decline. Its not just about the bees themselves, a major concern, but the very future of food. While this ban would have applied to all 27 member states, some of the countries like France, Germany, Italy and Slovenia have voted for their own suspensions in the past. There was no majority for or against the ban in the final tally. Even though the ban fell through, an appeals committee still has the power to enforce it. If the appeals vote ends up hung again, the commission can make its own decision (unfortunately this is how genetically modified crops were approved in the EU). Or the EC could simply revise the proposal and come back. A UK environment secretary was frustrated that the EC was rushing this decision instead of waiting for pending field trial results for another study. The studys control fields were actually compromised by drifting pesticides! Or at least the neonicotinoids were found in the control pollen and nectar somehow. Furthermore, pesticide regulation is shoddy. And the focus of any investigation is on pesticide sprays and minimal species of bees. Neonicotinoids are systemic chemicals used even on the seeds and are found in the pollen and nectar. The focus leaves out other important species for pollination like other bees, different types of flies and butterflies. But Belgian Green party EU parliament member Bart Staes said: And with growing public awareness, outlook is hopeful. Continuing bee deaths means the issue is not going away.

2	Kentucky Man Arrested After Shooting Down $1,800 Drone Spying On His Daughter Sun Bathing According to recent reports, William H. Merideth of Bullitt County was shocked when his daughter told him that there was a drone flying over the property. Concerned over the wellbeing of his daughter, who was sunbathing at the time, he decided to shoot it down. I went and got my shotgun and I said, Im not going to do anything unless its directly over my property, Merideth told reporters. He admitted that the drone disappeared for a moment, before returning. Within a minute or so, here it came. It was hovering over top of my property, and I shot it out of the sky. I didnt shoot across the road, I didnt shoot across my neighbors fences, I shot directly into the air. Not long after, Merideth was approached by four men, who confronted him until they saw his shotgun. The police arrived at the incident shortly thereafter. Long story short, after that, they took me to jail for wanton endangerment first degree and criminal mischiefbecause I fired the shotgun into the air, Merideth told Fox. He is now investigating legal options. Our rights are being trampled daily, Merideth concluded. We need to have some laws in place to handle these kind of things.

3	Shocking Chart: Sign of Global Economic Implosion?Mac Slavo When cargo is moving the price to move that cargo rises. During the boom-times of the mid 2000s the Baltic Dry Index hit historical record highs of over $8000for charter higher rates. It promptly collapsed to under $1000 intomid-2008, just ahead of the stock market crash. What youre about to see may shock you if youre of the opinion that an economic recovery has taken hold. Not only has the index lost 90% of its value in the last several months, but according to Zero Hedge it is just a day or two away from its all-time record lows. Where is the global economy headed in the next few months? If The Baltic Dry Index is any guide, its about to implode. And the collapse just keeps goingsince Thanksgiving, The Baltic Dry has fallen on 43 or the 47 days, down over 60% from the China growth is back and all-is-well hope-filled days of late October(when Jim Cramer stressed the importance of watching the Baltic Dry Freight Index, as his bullish thesis confirmation).At 569, The Baltic Dry is inching ever closer to what will be the lowest level ever(554 on 7/31/1986) for the global shipping cost indicator One or two more days like this and it will be the all-time low According to many contrarian analysts were so far gone that at this point nothing will stop it: We are setting up for a collapse that is going to be worse than 1929, and its going to come sometime within the next two years. It could come as soon as the next couple of months, but it is going to happen, and theres nothing that is going to stop it. Going forward we willsee continued volatility with wild price swings for all asset classes, including gold and oil. It is a sign of a system on its last legs; and for those who have failed to prepare a backup plan things are going to be horrific. Its imminent. Get ready.

1	Acknowledging that the progress made in such a short amount of time was remarkable, Club One Fitness personal trainer Logan Kaiser told reporters Tuesday he is very impressed by the improvement in both the strength and consistency of his clients excuses. Hes starting to come along; a few months ago he had really weak pretenses for not sticking to a workout plan, but hes put in a lot of effort and now hes sporting much more robust and powerful justifications, said Kaiser of 36-year-old software engineer Jeffrey McGann, noting that the gym members exculpatory anecdotes had already tripled in size and were becoming far more difficult to verify. After seeing how he struggled early on with a simple excuse about traffic, its gratifying to see him push himself and dig deep for rationalizations that more believably exonerate him. And you can tell its gotten a lot easier. His total commitment to tackling a long, grueling story about how construction in his neighborhood aggravated his dust mite allergies was outstanding. At press time, Kaiser expressed concern after learning that McGann would be unable to make it to the gym due to an unspecified workplace emergency. 
3	4 More Victims Come Forward From Chicago Secret Prison, Man Tortured Over WeedCassius Methyl They are four black males, Brock Terry, Kory Wright, Deandre Hutcherson and David Smith. Three of them were held in 2006, and one in 2011. They were kicked in the genitals while helpless and bound, put in kennels for humans, and they heard the bloodcurdling screams of other helpless victims while they thought they would never see the light of day again. One man named Brock Terry was caught with five pounds of cannabis, and ended up being shackled to the little circular thing behind the bench, arms spread open, being fed only twice in 3 days. The Chicago police are known for turning up the temperature in the facility to extremely high temperatures, and then depriving victims of water while they are tied up, arms extended. I sat in that place for three days, man with no talking, no calls to nobody, Terry said. They call police stations, Im not there, Im not there. I was kept there. I didnt speak to a lawyer or anything, he continued. I didnt interact with nobody for three days. And then when I do see the light of day, I go straight to another police station, go straight there to county and be processed. He also said he didnt see any other victims there, but he heard cries from people being seemingly tortured, and they screamed no, no, no and stop. Another black man named Deandre Hutcherson was shackled in the same vulnerable position, and he said he was punched in the face, and stomped in the genitals like he [the cop] was putting a cigarette out They got kennels like, for people, Terry also told the Guardian. I didnt really want to believe that, but it is the truth. I never saw anyone, but I know something else is going on. You dont want to be in that kind of situation, so you gotta be quiet about it, so you dont go down that route. Terry continued. More details will be released as the situation unfolds.

1	Secretary of State Madeleine Albright arrived in Mogadishu Monday, beginning a four-day diplomatic visit to the totally fucked-up nation of Somalia. Madeleine Albright, flanked by an entourage of State Department officials, arrives in the royally screwed nation of Somalia. 'The ravages of civil war have taken a terrible toll on Somalia, claiming the lives of more than 500,000 people since 1995,' said Albright in an address before the United Somali Congress. 'Another 300,000 Somalis have died of disease and hunger. Your nation is truly up shit creek.' Albright called for an increase in U.N. funds for resettlement of the nearly two million Somali refugees displaced by political unrest. She also pledged $800 million in U.S. aid for food and medical supplies, though she acknowledged that it would make little difference in a country so profoundly under the shithammer. 'Somalia is fragmented under the control of a dozen rival clan-based ruling factions, each with its own military force,' Albright said. 'The resultant internal fighting, compounded by perpetual border tension with Ethiopia, makes it difficult to establish the kind of stability necessary for sustained, substantive economic development.' Added Albright: 'Christ, this place is fucked.' In addition to pledging $800 million in aid, Albright said the U.S. will finally restore economic ties severed in 1989 due to human-rights violations committed by the now-deposed Siad Barre government. 'By driving out the corrupt Siad Barre regime, Somalia has shown a commitment to reform,' Albright said. 'Steps are being taken to establish a climate in which democracy and free-market capitalism can take root. But despite such progress, we must not lose sight of the fact that this nation is in such a shitstorm of trouble, it is unlikely ever to happen. I mean, there's fucked, and then there's total, reamed-up-the-ass, fucked-in-half fucked.' Albright's visit included a tour along the only paved road in Somalia. The road runs from Berbera in the north to Mogadishu, and then down to Chisimayu, a city Albright said is all the way in the shitter. Somalis loot U.N. food supplies in the beyond-fucked city of Mogadishu. 'The U.N. classifies Somalia as a developing nation,' Albright said. 'Well, I didn't see very much developing going on in Chisimayu. You don't even want to know where these people go to the bathroom. I practically fucking puked.' U.S. political experts say Albright's assessment of the situation is on target. 'Right now, three different men claim to be ruling Somalia,' said Dr. James Knox, a Yale University African Studies professor specializing in the insane shit going on in the Gulf of Aden region. 'A clan chief in Northern Somalia has proclaimed independence and leads a government in Hargeysa, while another clan chief, Hussein Aideed, recently nominated himself president of the Somali National Alliance. Then there's Ali Mahdi Muhammad, who presides over the United Somali Congress. Could you imagine if that kind of fucked-up shit went on in America?' Environmental factors have exacerbated the plight of Somalia, which has been hit by crippling droughts and massive flooding. Earlier this year, the Jubba River in southern Somalia flooded, causing massive crop devastation and leaving hundreds of thousands unbelievably fucked. 'The factors responsible for the chaos in Somalia are complex and varied,' Knox said, 'but whatever the cause, one thing is clear: This East African nation of nine million is taking it in the ass, big-time. And as far as I can tell, there's pretty much not a chance in hell they'll be able to un-fuck themselves anytime soon.' 
3	Smart Meter Information Consumers Should KnowCatherine J. Frompovich Smart meters basically are licensed radio stations that transmit electrical usage, occupancy times, and other information out of homes on which they are installed, thereby, providing wiretapping without proper and legal search warrants. As a result of that illegal activity, Smart Meters are illegal and cannot be forced upon anyone since they basically are breaking federal laws, even though they supposedly function within the purview of law, especially in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania where there is no opt out provisions in the law. Furthermore, some U.S. Constitutional issues are involved. Moreover, a Smart Meter basically is nothing more than a search without a warrant every day, hundreds of times during the day24/7, due to the constant collection of information being transmitted out of the house. Its nothing short of electrical, house-wiretapping! Wiretapping is illegal in all 50 states! 18 U.S. Code 2511 Interception and disclosure of wire, oral, or electronic communications prohibited (Source Cornell Law) Also, Smart Meters are a part of the United Nations Agenda 21? Smart Meters are a tool or mechanism for Sustainable Development, which was first introduced to the world in the pages of a 1987 report (Our Common Future) produced by the United Nations World Commission on Environmental and Development, authored by Gro Harlem Brundtland, VP of the World Socialist Party. Sustainable Development was offered as official UN policy in 1992, in a document called UN Sustainable Development Agenda 21, issued at the UNs Earth Summit, today referred to simply as Agenda 21. UN policy does not supersede U.S. sovereignty, or is it being implemented by state laws? What supposedly gives Agenda 21 authority? More than 178 nations adopted Agenda 21 as official policy during a signing ceremony at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Then U.S. president George H.W. Bush signed the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity document for the USA, which the U.S. Congress/government has refused to embrace, and the ongoing refusal by the American Senate to ratify the convention after President William J. Clinton signed the treaty in 1993. (Source) So, how can any U.S. locality or state enact legislation that complies with, acquiesces to, or circumvents U.S. federal sovereignty and law? Any such laws, therefore, are considered null and void, and illegal, I contend and, therefore, are in contradiction to U.S. federal law and Constitution. Smart Meters Malfunctions and Fires Furthermore, regarding Smart Meter fires in Pennsylvania, there have been numerous. According to PECOs [electric company] spokesperson, Cathy Engel Menendez, an extensive analysis of the meter data collected so far will be completed before the replacement work begins, was in response to PECOs suspending installation of smart meters due to fires and overheating. As a result of that assessment, PECO decided to install Landis-Gyr Smart Meters, a Toshiba company, which also have been responsible for fires. See this photo of the Thunder Hollow Apartments SM fire, with corresponding documentation. Landis+Gyr SMs do catch fire, but thats not what PECO admits to in your March 9th letter to me. Another Fire: Landis + Gyr Smart Meter Causes Apt. Blaze (posted July 7, 2014) Thunder Hollow Apts. 2/6/14 Fire video online Fox 5 Investigates: Smart meters spark controversy Was the Upper Makefield, Penna. Meter fire a Landis +Gyr? I was walking to the seventh tee, when the pro came up and said, Jump in the car. We just got a call. Your house is on fire, Michael Capetto said. He lives in Upper Makefield, near Philadelphia, where the utility PECO this past summer reported at least 15 smart meters caught fire or got so hot, the meters melted. Similar fires have been reported in other states too. Source: EMF Safety Network / Smart Meter Fires and Explosions I have to ask, Were those 15 SMs Landis+Gyr Smart Meters too? Furthermore, I cannot find the Underwriters Laboratories approval per se for Landis+Gyr Smart Meters on ULs site. Can PECO please supply that exact UL number (i.e., UL Mark layout, serial or issue numbers http://ul.com/offerings/manufacturers/) not just that Underwriters Laboratories has tested the AMI meters based upon the UL-2735 standard. Note that PECO has not supplied any information regarding Underwriters Laboratories UL number! Apparently, fire hazards and safety issues still exist regarding PECOs AMI meters versus analog meters, which were made entirely of mechanical parts with glass front covers and little insulation that does not allow for easy ignition. Whereas, the new AMI digital Smart Meters are made of numerous electronics inside, which are flammable components, plus the meter face is all plastic rather than glass like the analog. Once overheated or ignited, the plastic face contributes to rapid conflagration. I refer you to the 39-page report Utility of Smart Meters produced by the Office of the Fire Marshall, Fire Investigation Services, Midhurst, Ontario, Canada, dated June 15, 2012 whereon page 27 he discusses various issues that apparently were of concern to that official regarding Smart Meter fires in their/his jurisdiction. From my research, all Smart Meters are constructed the same regardless of manufacture: Sensus, Landis+Gyr, GE, Itron. Their design and installation [retrofitting] into an existing meter socket is what causes the great potential for damage to a customers appliances, and worse, causing fire or explosion. RF radiation emissions from Smart Meters can interfere with the function of Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter type sockets and the ARC-Fault Circuit Interrupter creating other fire hazards and potentials, which Underwriters Laboratory or any other organization has not certified for safety issues, as I understand. THAT also is a KEY fire safety issue that doesnt seem to be addressed. Why? may I ask. Id like to know this regarding PECOs Landis+Gyr Smart Meters: Before I leave the fire hazard/safety issues of Smart Meters, I would like to bring to PECOs attention a three-page report from Thermografix Consulting Corporation Smart Meter Installations Fires. On the first page, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 are more than alarming, i.e. The fact sheet left out the Smart Meter Routers, collectors, antennas that communicate with the meters. Those electromagnetic wavelengths are high speed frequencies hitting the building from top to bottom and going through the walls of the residence. The ramifications are high speed vibration of electrical systems, structural components, fire separations and electromagnetically inducing Pacemakers as well as electrical systems. That puts the building in violation of Part 4 of BC Building Code. High speed vibrations billions of times per second equates to molecular earthquakes. BC Medical Services puts in Pacemakers and manufacturers specifications tell the patient to stay out of an electromagnetic field. BC Hydro is taking the electromagnetic fields to the patients home. That is a major concern for most people: The negative health aspects of Smart Meters! On the second page, paragraphs 1 and 5: Electrical failure of equipment can cause explosions, fire, injury, loss of life and insured loss including production losses for industry. For BC Hydro or any utility to blame homeowners or wiring for fires after meter installation is ridiculous when their installers arent qualified to even understand the scope of work required. Furthermore, the electrical wiring worked fine with analog meters. Shouldnt power companies be mandated to install proper electrical wiring to accommodate SMs and not leave homeowners with faulty electric wiring that the utility company created by installing SMs thereby putting homeowners in jeopardy for fire, explosion, and other SM hazards? On the third page, paragraph 1: Electrical Meter Bases have wired connections as well as stabs. Qualified electrical professionals would check ALL connections when the meter is pulled. (safely and working with the home owner) Before installing the new meter any electrical problems would be identified and repaired, even replacing the meter base if required. There are no compromises electrically or there will be failure with consequences including fires. My question is: How does PECOs SM installation fit in with the above? Whos Responsible for Damage? Therein apparently is another legal aspect to the entire Smart Meter matter, i.e., Product and professional liability problems. State legislatures, businesses, and corporations cannot demand consumers place their lives and properties in jeopardy or harms way, as all the data and information Ive provided over the past month or sodocuments that Smart Meters dowithout providing safety measures to preclude such problems. When such malfeasance happens materially or by law, then that law must be opposed and ultimately changed or killed by legislative bodies that enact them. Pennsylvania is no exception. Since fire is an ever-present possibility with Smart Meters that no one should be made to live withwe have smoke detectors for inside our homes to warn uswhat kind of protection does/will PECO supply as Smart Meter fire alarms? After all, PECO and utility companies that install Smart Meters are providing the fire danger, so they must provide a safety measure alternative to protect against it. Legally, you have to, or hasnt anyone mentioned that legal liability? That fire/safety issue alone, along with what I will discuss next, should be the very reasons that the Pennsylvania state legislature should see the folly of the law it enacted and remove it from the books in the current session, and as soon as possible. Radiation Comparisons Radiation Comparisons: Cell Phones and Household Devices Versus Wireless Smart Meters I enclose two pages of charts. Figure 1: Graph from CCST Report in W/cm2uncorrected for whole body exposure or duty cycle Figure 4: Comparison of Radio-Frequency Levels to the Whole Body from Various Sources in W/cm2 over time [corrected for assumed duty cycle and whole body exposure extrapolated from EPRI/CCST Smart Meter estimated levels at 3 feet]. You will note, unfortunately, both the minimum and the maximum are exactly the same dangerous exposure! Smart Meter Health Problems Now on to the REAL and SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS that Smart Meters effectuate I enclose a five-page report by Ronald M. Powell, PhD in Applied Physics, titled Symptoms after Exposure to Smart Meter Radiation dated March 12, 2015. The Introduction paragraph says, People from coast to coast in the USA, and from one side of the world to the other, are becoming ill after exposure to the radio frequency radiation emitted by Wireless Smart Meters. Attached are the results of two surveys of the symptoms being reported. USA Survey of 318 Individuals in 28 states in the USA Notice the laundry list of new or worsened symptoms reported Victoria, Australia Survey of 92 Individuals A correspondingly similar list of new or worsened symptoms reported Notice that numerous body symptoms are disrupted by Smart Meter radiofrequency radiation. The RESULTS: 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. The last sentence from the reports CONCLUSIONS, 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. The AAEMs Recommendations The American Academy of Environmental Medicine published Recommendations Regarding Electromagnetic and Radiofrequency Exposures, a two-page report. You will note the listing of medical conditions and disabilities that would benefit from avoiding electromagnetic and radiofrequency exposures, plus the Bibliography. People have to live their lives without being electromagnetically harmed by a technology [electric power meters] that, prior to Smart Meters, and for generations, were safe! March 2015 Study: RF fields Cause Tumors Early in March 2015, Micro Wave News published a new animal (mice) study, Tumor promotion by exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields below exposure limits for humans, wherein this disturbing find was revealed: Numbers of tumors of the lungs and livers in exposed animals were significantly higher than in sham-exposed controls. In addition, lymphomas were also found to be significantly elevated by exposure. Consumers, homeowners, and childrenespecially autistic childrenshould not be forced by Pennsylvania law, any localitys or other states lawseven federal lawto live in cancer-causing conditions pumped into their homes via Smart Meters! Opt-Out Legislation Furthermore, numerous states [AZ, CA, FL, GA, HI, IA, LA, MI, ME?, PA, TX, VA, VT] have introduced or have provisions for opt-out from SMs. There are several bills in the current Pennsylvania legislative session regarding that issue. In the last PA legislative session, despite state-wide constituency protests, etc., Representative Godshall sat on the SM bills and would not move them in committee for votetruly a political crime and democratic injustice against the citizens of Pennsylvania. Vermonts Ideal Smart Meter Legislation However, the people of Vermont have been blessed with their Smart Meters legislation: 5/18/12 Gov. Shumlin signed S.214 into law (Act 0170) allowing installation if utility company (1) provides written notice to the customer indicating that the meter will use radio or other wireless means for 2-way communication between the meter and the company and informing the customer of his or her rights; (2) allows a customer to choose not to have a wireless smart meter installed, at no additional monthly or other charge; and (3) allows a customer to require removal of a previously installed wireless smart meter for any reason and at an agreed-upon time, without incurring any charge for such removal. Source: http://www.leg.state.vt.us/docs/2012/Acts/ACT170.pdf Questions for PECO Regarding PECOs answers to my questions, I have found numerous answers to be at total variance to the facts, especially No. 6: Have there been fires where smart meters have been installed? PECOs answer: No. The AMI meter that will be installed at your home is manufactured by Landis+Gyr. There are no Landis+Gyr meters that have experienced overheating issues. Some Sensus meters originally installed experienced overheating issues; however, PECO has replaced all Sensus meters with Landis+Gyr meters. The company no longer installs the Sensus meters and there have been no overheating issues reported with Landis+Gyr meters. Well, I beg to differ, and have cited a Landis-Gyr SM meter fire. See the photograph of that fire earlier in this article. I found other answers in a similar disparaging vein. My question 7 with regard to adverse health effects from RF/Smart meters, which PECO claims there are no studies of adverse health effects. Ive cited and sent them to PECO. Hopefully, there is a sensible way of working on this issue other than PECOs turning off my electric power. I have given legitimate legal concerns for an illegally instituted and totally unsafe Pennsylvania law that Pennsylvania legislatures currently are trying to correct with several bills in this legislative session, and in view of that, I believe I am entitled to considerations, as are others who are in equally-challenging health-status conditions. Everyone believes in humanitarian reasons, or so Im led to believe. The analog meter that has been on my house since Ive owned it, never has had a meter reader come to take a reading. But somehow by magic, PECO has been able to know how much electricity I use and, consequently, sends me a bill every month, which I have paid promptly. PECO knows what I use, and its very nominal, as I dont have all the electric gadgets everyone has, including no TV or microwave oven! If everyone used as little electric power as I do, PECO would have to create some other business to make a go of it. And, thats the last thing I want to discuss: My energy bills increasing with a Smart Meter, to which PECO said, No. Your energy bill will not increase. That has not been the case for power company bills around the USA. Electric Bills Increase after Smart Meters Are Installed Do you want an accurate, reasonably priced utility bill? Utility customers have noticed huge increases in their bill after a smart meter is installedin some cases hundreds of dollars more than usual. Utilities claim the meters are accurate, but unexplained over-billing has featured in many negative reports, all around the US. Is it true that your bill goes up after getting a smart meter? Many people have experienced hikes in their utility bill after a smart meter was installed. A recent survey published on EMFSafetyNetwork.org documented how many people have received higher billsover one third of those surveyed. Heres another account of the overbilling issues. Heres another article. (Source) Phantom Electricity Apparently, instead of filing for utility rate hikes, Smart Meters automatically increase monthly power company bills dramatically. Furthermore, theres something called phantom electricity which consumers apparently are being billed for now due to SM metering/monitoring because every appliance has phantom loading built in that power companies apparently want to access as another revenue stream, it would seem. Please see this: A modern household is packed with appliances connected to the electrical power. Most consume some electricity regardless of whether they are actively used or not. The worst offender is the digital cable television box and digital video recorder. That is just the beginning. The world electricity consumption is roughly 20 billion megawatts per year, or 20 trillion watts. It is estimated that about 10 to 15 percent of that amount is just going up the chimney as the phantom loads. Namely, the civilization of the world consumes 2 trillion watts in electricity constantly in the phantom loads. That is a huge waste. There have been some effective policies to limit the phantom loads (one watt limit), however, the total number of devices is on the rise to offset the power reduction effort. The result is that total phantom loads are still on the rise. (Source) In view of all the above, I feel I have every legitimate and legal right to ask and be given opt-out status. Please know that I value the services PECO supplies and delivers, but I am not in alignment with forced RF and electromagnetic radiation coming into my house and body through the electrical wiring in my house, that puts my life, health and property in constant jeopardy. There has to be a way to work this out besides turning off electric power to a 76-year-old widow. Heres the reply that I received regarding several letters with tons of printed and Internet link citations regarding Smart Meters: If the company is not able to install the meter, your service will be terminated. If you have any further questions regarding your right to opt out of the meter installation, I recommend that you contact the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. In the interim, since you will not give the company access to install the meter, your service can be scheduled for termination. And that dear readers, is how Im being treated regarding what apparently is an illegal law, not very carefully thought out, but enacted in Pennsylvania enforcing Agenda 21 Smart Meters.

Striving to Install Microwave Poisoning in Every Penna. http://beforeitsnews.com/health/2014/07/striving-to-install-microwave-poisoning-in-every-pennsylvania-home-rep-robert-godshall-stalls-smart-meter-opt-out-bills-while-son-grey-runs-phil-electric-peco-smart-meter-install-program-2544274.html I went to the website you referenced and read the article. It didnt have much substance to it. There was reference to microwave poisoning that I have to question. If person is concerned about UHF or microwave poisoning, their cell phones and smart phones emit far higher levels of EM radiation than a smart meter does. A smart meter emits very low levels and only sufficient to allow a drive by meter reader to get the signal and data. As a lifelong radio communications tech., Im not sure I understand the objection to smart meters. I wanted a smart meter because I got tired of men coming in my back yard to read the meter. Be careful what you wish for S-meters are one of many silent weapons in a quiet war waged against humanity decades ago, leading to one world governance, depopulation, and servitude of human body-mind-spirit, unless we wise up, link up, stand up, speak up, and rise up peacefully, to reclaim unalienable rights as human beings to take back our power. http://energyfanatics.com/2015/03/23/sacred-powers-natural-law-how-defend-your-rights-introduction-ascension-seminar/ Hi Catherine. Im sorry you have found yourself being threatened by a faceless cruel energy company. You should not have to face such tactics at this time in your life. I would recommend getting as much publicity for your cause as possible. Companies hate negative publicity. Play up your age and that you are a widow and how the company are picking on you. Start a Facebook page and put your story on it. Contact your local newspapers, radio and tv and tell direct them to your facebook page. Put photos of yourself on the facebook page that the media can use. You are but one person against a large company. Use the power of social media to get behind your cause and support you. Heres an idea. Place meter on an object away from the house. No direct contact. The power company should obtain permission from the home owner before doing anything that affects the property or structure. The home owner gets the final say. That is, the home owner and his/her sledge hammer. Smart meter paranoids are just plain stupid really, I have to repeat STUPID! We live in an ocean of EMF unless youre a hermit living in a cave you cannot escape EMF. No one has ever died or even been in the slightest hurt by a smart meter. If you need an issue to harp on, then harp on GMOs now that is a worthy issues GMOs are dangerous and deadly smart meters, NO. Hello whoever you are. You need to do some serious research. I fear Perhaps the smart meters imply a reverse engineering of EMF to use the electrical wiring in the home against the occupants. Opposite the faraday cage effect. 
3	Americas Nazis in Kiev: Russians are SubhumanTony Cartalucci Yatsenyuk made his comments amid ongoing fighting in the east of Ukraine, where Kiev is waging war upon fellow Ukrainians, shelling and bombing cities in provinces that refuse to recognize the regimes seizure of power during late 2013 early 2014. After a significant loss of life during one of Kievs many ill-conceived military operations, Yatsenyuk stated: From fabricating an invasion, to claims of threatened lives, to the labeling of Russians as subhuman, Yatsenyuk has recited fully the script of Nazism used to justify its various historical crimes against humanity. Kievs forces in eastern Ukraine are not fighting an invasion, but constitute an invading force themselves, making incursions into eastern Ukraine and holding territory only through unmitigated brutality against local populations clearly collaborating with armed self-defense forces intent on resisting Kievs authority. This horde is directly compared to the Slavic people of Russia and of course Jews throughout the pamphlet, with the Aryan race seen as the protectors of Europe: The rants of Adolf Hitlers Nazi propagandists echo clearly in the statements emanating from Kiev and even Washington and Brussels today characterizing resistance to overt Nazis seizing power violently in Kiev as an invasion of subhumans. Weighing both the Nazi linage of Yatsenyuks political party and its allies in the Neo-Nazi Svoboda Party and their Right Sector militant front, side-by-side with Der Untermensch, it is difficult to conclude the rhetoric in Kiev originated from anywhere else but Nazism. The Only Thing Worse Than Nazi Vitriol is Defending Those Who Spread It US State Department spokesperson Jennifer Psaki, was asked directly if she supported comments made by Kiev regarding both Russian President Vladimir Putin and racist comments made about the Russian people being subhumans themselves. Psaki would utterly fail to condemn the comments and instead excused them as efforts in support of a peaceful resolution this even as Kiev strafes its own population with warplanes and pounds populated cities with artillery. One must wonder what the Wests reaction would have been if an Iranian diplomat referred to Israelis as subhumans. Unlike the current regime in Kiev which are literal Nazis tracing their poisonous ideology back to Nazi-collaborators like Stepan Bandera, Iran has no sociopolitical link to Nazism. Its comments regarding Israel have generally been geopolitical, not racial or religious in nature considering Iran is host to the largest Jewish community in the Middle East outside of Israel. Still, comments made by the Iranian government over the years have been twisted, manipulated, portrayed as Nazism, and most certainly condemned by the West in every possible manner. That the West has failed to condemn literal Nazi rhetoric today, lifted almost verbatim from pamphlets peddled by the very founders of Nazism, once again illustrates that the West is not a political order of ideals, but rather one of interests pursued behind a thin veil of ideals. These ideals are liberally abused and at times such as now completely and shamelessly abandoned. Psakis inability to condemn Kievs Nazi vitriol is part of a greater campaign of diversion attempting to cover up and spin Kievs growing list of atrocities and crimes against humanity.

3	GMOs Are Destroying Heirloom Seeds and Our Food SecurityAaron Dykes Just from the perspective of a medium sized business, Baker Creek and its partners in the seed industry have lost literally hundreds of thousands of dollars as a result of GMO corn contamination. Baker Creek began testing their Heirloom corn varieties for GMO contamination, and found that more than 50% of their more than a dozen varieties were contaminated. Those varieties, most of which were hand passed down through countless generations, have now been lost forever, unless a clean source is found and recovered. Meanwhile, Monsanto has been accused of suing farmers, often financially ruining small farmers, for infringing patent laws when non-GMO varieties become unintentionally cross-pollinated. Baker Creek reports that Monsantos lawyers downplayed the effects of contamination as hypothetical and low level, as in the OSGATA et al. vs. Monsanto court case, while their real world experience is massive financial loss. The proliferation of further GMO crop and vegetable stables will destroy diversity irrevocably and undermine food freedom and security to feed the world.

'Mmm, now that's a good smoke,' said McCombs, 51, drawing a deep breath of Parliament smoke into what remains of his respiratory system. 'It's just too bad I no longer have a right lung, because then I could be enjoying double the tobacco pleasure right now.' 
2	Legendary NFL Player Gets The Boot For Disrespecting Our Country... His Career Really Is Over 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has been making headlines for months now for his controversial decision to disrespect our nation by refusing to stand for the national anthem. 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 said of his protest. 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. Since then, Kaepernicks protests have been spreading through the NFL. Now, its coming back to bite them in a major way. Reports indicate that the Indianapolis Colts released former pro-bowl cornerback Antonio Cromartie after he joined Kaepernick in protest. Cromartie had been in the NFL for 11 years. Everyone wants to say all lives matter, but until black lives start to matter, all lives dont matter, he commented. Thats what people need to start looking at. When you take a knee, youre talking about everything that goes on in this country. Cromartie only joined the Colts two months ago, so many believe his release was related to his protest. He signed a one-year, $3 million contract, but only $250,000 of that was guaranteed. What do you think of this decision? 
1	Days before the fifth anniversary of the destruction of New York's World Trade Center by terrorists, city officials gathered on the site where the Twin Towers once stood to dedicate the newly completed 9/11 Memorial Hole. 'From the wreckage and ashes of the World Trade Center, we have created a recess in the ground befitting the American spirit,' said New York Governor George Pataki from a cinderblock-and-plastic-bucket-supported plywood platform near the Hole's precipice. 'This vast chasm, dug at the very spot where the gleaming Twin Towers once rose to the sky, is a symbol of what we can accomplish if we work together.' A birds-eye view of the magnificent new memorial. Pataki then cut a ceremonial ribbon to release a giant blue plastic tarpaulin, reportedly the largest of its kind, which fluttered and snapped while slowly settling into the detritus and mud at the bottom of the 70-foot Hole, drawing a long, tired sigh of resignation from the estimated crowd of 50,000 who had assembled to watch and shake their heads. Begun only days after the 2001 attacks, the Hole covers almost the entire footprint of the original World Trade Center, contains over 16 acres of empty space, and is visible as far away as Hoboken, NJ. Over $175 million has been spent on the Hole's development, and thousands of pages of proposals and designs concerning the site in which the Hole was excavated were reviewed in over 2,800 hours of meetings. Work crews comprising more than 7,500 welders, equipment operators, excavators, and other construction specialists spent long, often unpaid shifts in its depths. 'These five years have been admittedly difficult,' Pataki said. 'Inevitably, we heard from the naysayers who said we would never accomplish anything on this site. To those people, I invite them to gaze down at this magnificent pit if they want proof of New Yorkers' dedication to this project.' The Hole contains several symbolic features: A massive reinforced-concrete foundation known before 9/11 as the 'Bathtub' now serves as the renamed 'Remembrance Facing.' According to official memorial literature, a gently declining plane into the heart of the memorial stands for the gradual but steady passage of time, and permits construction vehicles to enter and exit the site. Chain-link fences symbolize the present but nonetheless scalable barriers between different cultures. Lastly, the 'Eternal Puddle,' perhaps the Hole's most notable and arresting, as well as bottommost, feature, allows visitors to reflect on the tragedy, while the rainwater-and-seepage-fed Puddle itself reflects muddy swirls and oil slicks. Officials did not immediately explain the significance of the ubiquitous yellow 'Keep Back' tape present at the site. Onlookers tolerate the unveiling ceremony at Ground Zero. Pataki refused to take sole credit for the Hole's completion, instead congratulating former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and current Mayor Mike Bloomberg, saying awareness of the World Trade Center site as a political symbol was important in ensuring the future of the Hole. Pataki also praised The Port Authority Of New York And New Jersey, 'whose expert management of the site saw to it that nothing would obstruct the Hole once commuter-train service was restored. The governor also thanked site developer and leaseholder Larry Silverstein, whose 'keen business sense and stubborn desire for the area to be profitable was instrumental in this effort.' Pataki expressed deep admiration for the families of the victims, saying that 'their endless and highly vocal input about the memorial were crucial to making the Hole possible in time for the fifth anniversary of the attacks.' 'And of course, I commend President George W. Bush, whose administration provided the kind of ample, unquestioning financial support to the rebuilding project for which they are famous, from New York to New Orleans,' Pataki said. 'Mr. President, you as much as anyone have made the dream of this hole a reality.' The ceremony concluded with a somber wreath-laying ceremony at the Grand Scaffold by former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerek. 'Let this circle of flowersbrief, beautiful, and too soon gonesymbolize the respect we have shown for the memories of those innocents who lost their lives on that sorrowful morning by creating this great hole,' said the Reverend Charles Bourne of Lower Manhattan's Trinity Chapel as the flowers sank into the brown, debris-strewn runoff at the bottom of the cavity. 'I firmly believe, as does every person here, that this deep, empty hole has come to stand not only for the New York City of today, but also for the transformation of the entire United States since Sept. 11, 2001.' 
1	Upending the conventionally held assumption that the United States must exclusively be moving along a single good or bad path forward, quantum political scientists at the California Institute of Technology published a paper Thursday hypothesizing that the country is, in fact, headed in both the right and wrong directions simultaneously. Rather than inhabiting a single reality where the nations future looks bright or an opposite one where Americans are struggling like never before, our research suggests that these two conditions actually exist concurrently in a state of superposition, said lead researcher David Rimbaud, adding that, according to their analysis of quantum wave function and Gallup polls, the nations best days were found to lie, paradoxically, both ahead of and behind it. In addition, our research has revealed for the first time that this country is currently changing beyond all recognition while at the same time remaining the same as its always been. Similarly, the United States was found to be both a beacon of freedom and hope in the world and an antagonist to those very same hopes and freedoms. Though seemingly contradictory, all of these scenarios are equally true. Rimbaud added that in both divergent realities, China was still the worlds dominant economic force. 
3	UK School Using Biometric Fingerprint Data to Make Sure Kids Eat Healthy DietMelissa Melton What is new is what a headteacher recentlytold parents to justify the use of fingerprint scans in the lunchroom at Redhill School in Stourbridge, England. Via EAGNews.org: Wait. Back up a sec. Really? Tracking each child via fingerprint to database and examine their lunch choices and determine whetherthey can be considered part of a healthy diet, huh? How does that work? Based on whose opinion? And to what end?? For what consequences??? As Daisy Luther over at The Organic Prepper reported last November, a mother in Manitoba, Canada was fined $10 when the school decided her childs home-broughtlunch lacked a grain. The lunch contained meat, potatoes, carrots, milk and an orange, but that simply was not deemed healthy enough, so the school supplemented the lunch with Ritz crackers for ten bucks. The miffed mom wrote: It should go without saying, but Ritz crackers arent typically considered the height of nutrition. Luther continued: Aside from the creepy mark of the beast implications of normalizing young children who dont know any betterto these biometric programs, its a well-known fact that forcing children to adhere to a government-mandated diet does not automatically equal anything remotely considered healthy. Just consider the ramifications were aset uplike this to be implemented here stateside with the government-subsidized food included in Michelle Obamas death row school lunch program. Beyond that, though, who is monitoring these childrens diets? What gives that person the credentials? What happens if the child doesnt pick the right foods? Does an alarm go off in the computer system? Does someone step in and force them to eat something else? Where does this end? The greater potential for the abuse of power isunappetizing, to say the least.

3	Watch As Cops Threaten To Arrest Students If They Dont Stop Handing Out ConstitutionsBy Matt Agorist The studentswere from the newly-formed Turning Point USA chapter at GVSU, a group whose stated mission is educating students about the importance of fiscal responsibility, free markets, and limited government. When they were confronted by police, the group was not attempting to promote a political candidate, nor were they passing out anything controversial. They were merely handing out copies of the Constitution. Not one, but two campus cops approached the group and told them that they immediately needed to stop handing out the pocket Constitutions because it violated the schools policy. In order to do that, you gotta be approved by the office of student life, one officer told them, asserting that the policy applies to any distribution of materials, even if one is not selling anything or asking for money, as reported by Campus Reform. When the group inquired as to what would happen to them if they refused to stop handing out the document that these officers swore an oath to uphold, the officers initially told them that they would be referred to the Office of Student Life while the non-students with the group would be asked to leave. However, police quickly changed their tone and stated, If you continue to stay here, then well need to arrest you for trespassing. Its not a violation of ones First Amendment rights, the officer said, ensuring the students that violating their First Amendment right was somehow not a violation of their First Amendment rights. Im a firm believer in the First Amendment, the officer said in a blatant act of doublespeak. According to Campus Reform,Nathan Berning, a Michigan field representative from the Leadership Institute who was advising the students over the phone during the altercation, told Campus Reform that he finds it unacceptable that a person cant hand out Constitutions to college students in a country that enshrines free speech in its founding document. Instead of trying to combat the utter failure in logic by the campus cops, the students decided to concede under duress to avoid being kidnapped and caged for their free speech. In a statement to campus reform,Mary Lyon, GVSUs associate vice president for university communications, made sure to stay on the same doublespeak terms as the police when she implied that violating the students First Amendment rights was not a violation of their First Amendment rights: The university requires that groups wanting to organize, protest, or hand out materials register with the Office of Student Life and secure a room, or if a room is not available, a space set aside for such activities, she explained. This is not to regulate content, but rather time, manner, and place so that the educational mission is not disrupted. In this particular case, in addition to not registering with the Office of Student Life after being instructed of the procedure, the group also used a megaphone causing a disruption and a complaint to the university police department. Discouragingly enough, this incident is hardly an isolated one.Just last week, according to Campus Reform, an activist was forced to leave another campus, Middlesex County College, because he did not get prior approval to practice free speech. Also, the Free Thought Project reported on an eerily similar case last year out ofGlen Ellyn, IL. In that infuriating video, two students at the College of DuPage, a public university, were on campus exercising their First Amendment rights by passing out pocket Constitutions and fliers that read America is a free speech zone, when approached by a police officer and threatened with arrest. Filmed ironically only one day after Constitution Day, the footage showed the officer infringe on the students right to freely express their political opinions by threatening to kidnap and throw them in a cage, claiming they are soliciting. The officer tells the students that they need to get a permit and that they cant just do it whenever you want. You cant do it out here, otherwise Im going to have to lock you up, the officer told the men. Engaging the cop, one of the men asks, What are the rules for doing this kind of stuff on campus? You go to the Student Life office, and they give you a permit to do so, the officer replied. The obvious absurdity of having to get a permit to exercise your First Amendment rights speaks to the administrative decimation of liberty. Creating administrative rules, which impede Americans free speech rights, by limiting a students ability to freely express their thoughts and ideas on campus, seems patently offensive to the idea of freedom. Dont be fooled by this attempt to usurp your constitutional rights with administrative rules. Make no mistake; campus free speech zones violate students constitutional liberties.

1	According to University of CaliforniaSanta Cruz sophomore Jessica Lenzi, the new boyfriend of roommate Andrea Bloch is drinking yet another can of soda from the fridge. 'Does he, like, think those are communal sodas or something? Because they're not.' Lenzi said. 'Just because soda doesn't cost a lot of money doesn't mean it's free.' Lenzi said that if that guy takes one more soda from the fridge, she swears she's going to say something. 
1	After being named hitting coach by Cardinals manager Tony La Russa, Mark McGwire told reporters Monday that he is eager to get back in the batting cage and work with the team's hitters on the fundamentals of avoiding direct questioning from Congress during committee hearings on steroid abuse. 'When you get down to it, it's just hands back, quick to the ball, and then right when you are about to shift your weight, have a working knowledge of the Fifth Amendment so as not to incriminate yourself in front of a panel of elected officials,' said McGwire, who in the past has informally helped Cardinals Skip Schumaker and Chris Duncan with swing tips, including one in which you choke up a quarter inch to make certain you cloud the truth. 'I'm not going to impose my style of squirming and smoke-screening on their batting stances, though. Every individual player needs to figure out how best to keep his left shoulder behind the ball in order to eventually make his deflected answers that much more precise.' When asked about his history with performance-enhancing drugs, McGwire patiently kept his hands back and delivered a short, powerful swing to the reporter's face. 
2	Wounded Combat Vet Risks Everything To Go Up Against Obama Its hard to believe that Obama has not been kicked out of the White House yet, given his completely ignorant approach to foreign policy. Although his presidency is (thankfully) coming to a close soon, we can almost be certain that we have not seen the extent of the damage he can cause. Now, many Americans are wondering what his next move will be. Of course, we already know that Obama has decided to move forward with his outrageously risky plan to let 10,000 Syrian refugees into America in the next year. Republicans and Democrats alike were shocked when the President did not alter his plan at all following the terrorist attacks in Paris. The red flags are flying everywhere, and Obama seems unwilling to see them. ISIS has publicly stated that they intend to hide fighters in groups of refugees, and weve seen this take place in other countries. If they do move forward with this plan, it will be virtually impossible for the United States to detect. Syria does not keep detailed records of their citizens. According to the United Nations, approximately 72% of the Syrian refugees that have crossed into Europe so far have been military-aged males. This is ironic, given that liberals are attempting to paint a story of orphans and widowed women. Obama is now actively working to destroy America as a country by bringing in terrorists to kill Americans, Omar Avila, a veteran, wrote. We do not have an obligation to help terrorists. The logic is undeniable, Avila concluded. Obama has now crossed the line. Obama is a traitor. What do you think? Are you sick of Obama putting Americans second to his own agenda? Do you agree with Avila? 
2	Lesbian Couple Gives Son Hormone Blockers, Then Says The Child Is A Transgender Over the past few years, weve seen an increase in the number of stories of transgender children who are being encouraged by their parents to transition. Most of these stories are questionable at best, and have started a controversial debate over whether or not young children can actually determine and express their sexuality. According to reports, a lesbian couple from California started giving their 11-year-old son Thomas hormone treatments designed to delay puberty so that he could eventually become a female with surgical procedures. Pauline Moreno and Debra Lobel now refer to their son as Tammy. This practice has become increasingly common among transgender children. Many parents, like the couple mentioned above, justify their actions by claiming that children with gender identity disorder who are forced to delay the transition are more likely to commit suicide. Still, one could argue that a young child forced to transition before he or she even understands sexuality could also be faced with a worse distress. What do you think of the decision this lesbian couple made? Are their actions criminal? 
2	BREAKING: Bill Clintons Black Son Blows Up Hillarys Entire Campaign After Going On Live TV [VIDEO] Earlier this month, 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 is undeniable. 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? Does this family need to be kept far away from the White House? 
3	WikiLeaks Syrian Files Obtained by Flame to Set Up AssadSusanne Posel, Contributor The Associated Press reports, WikiLeaks Sarah Harrison told journalists at Londons Frontline Club that the emails reveal interactions between the Syrian government and Western companies, although she declined to go into much further detail. WikiLeaks posted only a handful of the documents to its website Thursday, but the disclosure whose source WikiLeaks has not made clear wouldnt be the first major leak of Syrian emails. Harrison said that the material is embarrassing to Syria but claims that Syrias opponents will equally be ashamed. It helps us not merely to criticize one group or another, but to understand their interests, actions and thoughts. It is only through understanding this conflict that we can hope to resolve it. Called The Syrian Files numerous diplomatic correspondences are more of an exposure to insider information than WikiLeaks disclosure concerning the US governments role and responsibility in Iraq and Afghanistan. The hacked emails include: Correspondence from the Baath party Russia is in arms trade with Syria even though the UN with pressure from the US has imposed sanctions against Assads government because of the fake revolution called the Arab Spring that was inspired and controlled by Soros infiltrators and the CIA. Questions surround Assanges connections to the CIA and his ability to expose leaked information. As a psy-op, the manifestation of Assange and WikiLeaks has effectively used engineered operations of secret document exposure to give the appearance of forced political responsibility for intelligence and policy failures. This is detailed in the CIA document entitled, The Secret Team. The CIA connection to Assange creates an avenue where fake leaks of documents can be made to give the illusion to the public that they are privy to secret information. Meanwhile, the CIA people-power coup has been integral in many fake revolutions both in the streets of foreign nations and on the Internet. WikiLeaks assisted the US governments overthrow of the Tunisian government. Assanges portrayal as a lone wolf just trying to expose corruption has aided the US government as the perfect psy-op cover that convinces individuals to rally in favor of their hero, Julian Assange, and keep his crusade alive.

2	Obama Issues Massive Executive Order That Will Strip Americans Of Their Constitutional Rights President Obama infuriated the American public this month when he used the Umpqua Community College shooting to push his anti-gun agenda. Now, the White House claims that Obama may have intentions to sign another executive order. The president has frequently pushed his team to consider a range of executive actions that could more effectively keep guns out of the hands of criminals and others who shouldnt have access to them, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters. Thats something that is ongoing here. The comments came after Hillary Clinton announced that she will not shy away from major gun control if she is elected president. I dont have anything to announce at this point, but we certainly welcome the kind of debate that Secretary Clinton is continuing, Earnest claimed. If there are an conclusions that are arrived at that the President agrees with then we will announce it publicly. What do you think? Are you tired of waiting around for your Second Amendment rights to be stripped from you? Do we need Obama out of the White House immediately? 
2	Trump Actually Got A New Haircut For Inauguration... Take A Look For Your Self One of Donald Trumps signature trademarks is his hair. Liberals have repeatedly attacked the President-elects do, but he has refused to change itsomething many have interpreted as a testament to his confidence. Now that hes about to take office, he has decided to change things up. On Wednesday, he took to social media to share a picture of himself and his grandson on the way back from Florida. In just eight hours, the post had garnered 250,000 likes. Trumps hair has been the subject of jokes for some time. He even made fun of it himself during a 2004 Saturday Night Live appearance. While on the campaign trail, Trump also played along, inviting a woman up on stage to pull his hair to disprove the myth that it was a hairpiece. What do you think of Trumps new style? 
1	Calling it far and away the best initiative businesses can undertake to boost sales and brand awareness, a report released this week by Harvard Business School has found the most effective marketing technique remains handing out little versions of products. Based on our research, there is simply no better way to attract and retain customers than giving away a product that is exactly like the one youre trying to sell, only littler, said lead researcher Neil Mukherjee, stressing that the method proved highly effective at promoting future product sales regardless of whether the complimentary items were little dish soaps, little paint swatches, or little chocolates. People will use up the little version quickly, because its so small. Then theyll want the big version, and theyll have to buy it, because the big version costs money. Its pretty simple, really. The report also cautioned businesses against allowing any one person to take too many of the small versions of their products, as that was essentially the same as just giving away a big one for free. 
3	Where My Path Has Led Me: Writing ContestIrene Weber When I was born in 1986, she moved into a trailer as that was what she could afford. She knew she wanted to live off the grid; she wanted to grow our food and live outside the system. Growing up in a trailer park was hard as many criticize you growing up. We had the nicest trailer in the park. We had huge gardens with rock trails through them; we raised our own chickens, rabbits, and ducks, and lived off what we made ourselves for the most part. My mother gained much criticism from the family for her decision. The family was old fashioned and believed working in the system was the only option. She knew there was another way. My older siblings left, leaving just my mother and I. All the criticism and rejection from the family drove my mother into a depression and she drank herself to her deathbed, but not without leaving a legacy for me to follow. From the first memory I have to the time she passed, she taught me so much. She taught me respect, appreciation, to be grateful for what I had as many dont even get clean water. She taught me about spirituality, about Buddha and Confucius. She taught me about infinity, karma, and enlightenment. She taught so much to me, more than I could have possibly understood at my young age. That lost feeling kept with me for many years after. In 2007 I gave birth to a little boy who helped change my life. Being a mother brought many questions and fears for his future. I wondered why I was here. Why I existed at all for my being here seemed at the time to serve no purpose, like a cruel joke God was playing on me. I felt somewhere deep inside that I did have a greater purpose. I survived for something. It couldnt have all been fate and with no purpose. One day, a long lost friend from high school found me online and after we talked for many weeks, he shared a book with me called The Ringing Cedars Series. The first book of the series was enough to change my perspective and change my life. I read it in less than a day. An unusual feat for me as reading was never my strong suit. Every question I had, as a mother, as a woman, as a lost soul, was answered through this book. I cried so much in happiness after reading it. It was like a jigsaw puzzle. I had some pieces hidden inside that didnt make sense and it gave me the missing pieces to make the whole picture. It just snapped inside my head, so quickly it almost made my head spin. Not long after reading the book, I decided my life needed to change if I was going to be happy. So I packed my son and I up and left a relationship that was making me feel unwanted, unappreciated and depressed. I started a new relationship with my long lost friend. His family and he have to this day been the greatest family and his mom reminds me so much of my mother as well. There is so much to tie my love and I together that it could only be meant to be. His family introduced David Icke to me and many more. They have helped me continue my mothers lessons. The enlightenment levels still are rising. Every little piece of puzzle I gain is one piece closer to understanding our existence, our world, our purpose. I still dont know my true purpose here, but I know it will show itself when its ready. I am no longer a lost soul. I am no longer in hatred. I now understand why I went through the pain I have gone through and why so many caused pain on me. Although the pain they caused will never truly go away, I have been able to forgive all who have been involved in my life for I understand that they did not understand anything and hence they were afraid of anyone who questioned, like me. I am 26 years old now and although my life, if I had enough space to truly tell you about it, has been a struggle, it was all meant for something. I would not be here today, I would not be who I am today, if it wasnt for what I have had to experience in life. Many who could walk in my shoes, would not come out of them sane. It has taken many years to overcome my past, it has taken many talks with friends and therapists, it has taken forgiveness of everyone including myself to get through it all. My opinion of todays society brings an array of thoughts. I see so much pain and suffering around the world and I always questioned why we allow it to happen. Then I learned it was the very powers we depend on who cause it and it is us who continue to let it happen. Our world is so upside down and backwards today and it saddens me every time I hear or see someone die for it. If we can envision a world of peace, love, union and practically perfection, why can we not live it? There is only one answer; we must take the power back we have given in trust to the elites. We are in control of our world, not them. There is no other answer than a corrupt agenda of powers to explain why our world is the way it is. This is not a conspiracy anymore. This is fact. A corrupt agenda going so far back that it is no wonder why we are so okay with being enslaved. Generations of an enforced agenda will do that. Its time we take responsibilities back to ensure our futures. We can make the pain stop. We can let the children live. We can make the choice. We have the power. I cannot predict what if anything will happen in the end of 2012. I can say I do not think the world will end, and I do not think aliens will land. I do not think the government will stop then. What I do believe is that our entire universe is changing. Our solar system is showing major changes, all the way down to us here on Earth. We are awakening slowly. What will happen to us? What will change? Will the suffering stop? Will children stop dying behind the scenes of our society? Our world will change, if we want it to. If you can imagine it, it can exist. We are human, a phenomenon in our world, created in the image of great power. We have this power in us. Just believe and you will see. Stop and question everything you see around you. This is not some ordinary power we hold. Its not as simple as your parents told you as kids that you can be anyone you want to be. It is much greater than that. We are human. We are phenomenal. We stand before a locked door. We hold the key in our mind to open this door, embrace the greatness of our potential and purpose, and walk the path to change it. Just believe in it and it will happen. Thank you David Icke for everything you have done for us. We will not let you down. Much love to all.

1	Emphasizing the importance of his instructions by raising his voice and repeating crucial points, Leland High School band teacher Jeff Amos reportedly spent 85 percent of Fridays rehearsal hammering in the dress code for the schools upcoming holiday concert. Its black turtlenecks with full-length sleeves, and they will stay tucked in for the entire time, do I make myself clear? said the 54-year-old music instructor during a 25-minute aside that stressed how deviations from the protocol, such as wearing sneakerseven the black sneakers that many tried to get away with last yearwould land them backstage for the entire performance. Girls, skirts must be past your knees. And boys, I expect slacks; gray-colored jeans arent going to cut it. Under those stage lights, every single person in that auditorium will see you sticking out like a sore thumb. Got it? At press time, Amos was reportedly keeping everyone in the band room for an extra 10 minutes to drive home how disappointed he would be if, after so many reminders, anyone forgot their Santa hat for the closing performance of Jingle Bell Rock. 
1	Area husband Dan Zollner is 'almost positive' that the Hotpoint gas stove he recently purchased is hooked up correctly. 'Don't worry, honey, I'm 99.9 percent sure I did it right,' Zollner told wife Diane after the fourth installation attempt. 'I don't even hear that hissing sound in the back anymore. All the gas seems to be getting into the stove where it belongs.' Zollner said he is 'real proud' that he was able to hook up the stove without any assistance. 
1	Saying that he doesnt like to let dust and clutter pile up for too long, area man Justin Buntz informed reporters Wednesday that he gives his one-bedroom apartment a thorough cleaning once every relationship. I like to keep to a pretty regular cleaning schedule, so every time I start seeing a girl, I set aside a solid half hour to give the place a good once-over, the 28-year-old graphic designer told reporters, noting that after emptying the refrigerator of expired food, wiping off the counters, and throwing his sheets into the laundry, he can then leave his apartment untouched for however long things between us last. I swept the entire apartment when Kelly and I started dating in 2012. Then I touched it up again before Alison saw it last spring. Lately, though, I have to admit Ive kind of fallen behind, so Ive just been heading to Jessicas place every night to avoid having to deal with it. Buntz added that his shower curtain, however, only requires replacement once every six relationships. 
2	BREAKING: Texas Senate Votes YES To Legalize Open Carry Just last week, the Texas Senate approved House Bill 910, designed to expand concealed carry to include the open carry of handguns. Now, the bill will go on to the House for approval. If the bill makes it through the House, it will be delivered to Republican Governor Greg Abbott for final sign off. Abbott reportedly cant wait to sign the bill, which will officially make Texas the 45th Open Carry state in the Union. Reports indicate that Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick believes that the House will add Campus Carry as an amendment, which will allow the open carry of weapons on university grounds before it is sent to the governor for his signature. What do you think? Is this a huge step forward for second amendment rights? 
3	The Federal Reserve System Is A Massive Wealth Redistribution SchemeMichael Snyder So what role does the Federal Reserve system play in all of this? Many critics of the Fed focus on how much money the Fed makes each year, but that is a mistake. The truth is that the Fed returns the vast majority of the money that it makes to the U.S. Treasury. The Fed is not a money making machine itself. Rather, it is a system that enables others to make hundreds of billions of dollars each year. The Fed is a privately-owned banking cartel that has a monopoly over money creation in the United States. Nobody else, including the U.S. government, can print money. So those that claim that the U.S. government can print money are just dead wrong. When the U.S. government wants to spend more money than it has, it asks the Fed to make some more money. The Fed then creates money out of thin air that did not previously exist. Normally this money is not even printed up. It is just entered into a computer. In return for the new money, the U.S. government gives the Federal Reserve some U.S. Treasury bonds. In essence, U.S. Treasury bonds are promises to pay back money. But the U.S. government always agrees to pay back more money than it receives. So a larger amount of debt is created than the amount of new money that is created. When the Federal Reserve receives those U.S. Treasury bonds, most of the time they take them and auction them off to interested buyers. This is how they get into the hands of the ultra-wealthy and the international bankers. So how is the U.S. government ever supposed to pay back all that debt if the amount of new debt being created is always larger than the amount of new money that is being created? Well, the theory is that the money will be able circulate through the U.S. economy really fast and that the federal government will be able to tax it enough times and at a high enough rate to be able to pay off the debt plus the interest. But that never seems to work out, does it? Instead, the federal government always finds that it cant fund government activities and pay off the debt at the same time, so they always come back to borrow more. That is why it is called a debt spiral. So the debt just keeps getting larger and larger. Today, the U.S. national debt is more than 5000 times larger than it was when the Federal Reserve was first created. And as the debt keeps getting larger and larger, so does the money supply. And that is why we have such a problem with inflation. Since the Federal Reserve was first created, the U.S. dollar has lost more than 96 percent of its value. But the global elite are not just doing this in the United States. They have established similar systems in almost every nation on earth. So every year, gigantic mountains of money are transferred from taxpayers all over the globe into their pockets. And that is the primary reason why they have so much money. It has been estimated that the global elite have up to 32 TRILLION dollarsstashed in offshore banks around the planet. And that is just the money that we know about. Are you starting to understand why people are so upset about this stuff? Fortunately, people all over the world are starting to wake up to this massive wealth redistribution scheme. The creation of money should belong to the people not to the global elite. Just consider a statement that Italian politician Beppe Grillo once made Whom does the money belong to? Who does its ownership belong to? To the State finethen to us, we are the State. You know that the State doesnt exist, it is only a legal entity. WE are the state, then the money is oursfine. Then let me know one thing. If the money belongs to usWhydo they lend it to us?? Doesnt that make sense? If the currency of a nation belongs to the people of a nation, then why do we let the elite create our money out of thin air and lend it back to us? Why do we continue to use a debt-based currency system that is making the global elite far wealthier at the expense of all the rest of us? For much more on how the Federal Reserve works, please see my previous article entitled 10 Things That Every American Should Know About The Federal Reserve. Please share this article with as many people as you can. I have tried to simplify things as much as possible. Are you angry that hundreds of billions of dollars are being transferred from U.S. taxpayers to the global elite every single year? Are you disgusted that money that is created out of thin air by the Federal Reserve is being used to bankrupt our nation and enslave future generations of Americans to trillions of dollars of debt?

1	According to sources close to the former college basketball star, friends of Cheryl Miller once again attempted to set her up on a date with retired Indiana Pacer Reggie Miller on Saturday, apparently still unaware that the two are siblings. Seriously, you guys have so much in common, said Millers close friend Danielle Kaelin, stressing that the couple would really hit it off if [Miller] would just give him a chance. Reggie loves basketball as much as you do. He played in college and even a few years in the NBA. I wont lie to you Cherylhes not the best looking guy out there. But hes still in really great shape for his age, and hes really rich, too. At press time, a resigned Miller begrudgingly agreed to go out on a dinner date next week with her younger brother.

Forbes reports that, The June oven will not only recognize what you put into the oven say cookies or muffins but also know how many you are putting in and automatically calculate the correct cook time and temperature. Wow. The technology will be so smart we will barely have to do anything except stuff the food in the oven and walk off. Aint all this smart technology just great? Now the NSA can monitor and illegally steal data from our ovens, too! Quick question though: is thisreallynecessary? Aside from taking food selfies or capturing time-lapse of our meatloaf baking, are we really just going off the technological deep end here when everything in our houses is collecting image recognition data includingof our food? Are we set to live in a time where computers are so omnipresent in every single aspect of our daily lives that people forget even basic skills like how to cook without a computer? (And thats notwithstanding the legal debates over what happens when the image recognition camera recognizes that someone is baking pot brownies uh oh) Melissa Dykes is a writer, researcher, and analyst for The Daily Sheeple, where this article first appeared, 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.

2	Michelle Obama Announces Decision On Running For Senate, You Wont Believe It It is no secret that Michelle Obama has been pushing her own agenda ever since Obama first got into the White House. Her actions have spurred many to question whether she may be campaigning for a bigger role, like perhaps the senate. Recently, however, she told reporters that she is in fact not running for Senate. When Robin Roberts of ABC News asked Michelle whether she had any intention of running for the position later on, the First Lady answered that she is more focused on service than running. In addition to pushing extreme eating habits in schools, Michelle has been an adamant fund raiser for the administration. In fact, some of her appearances at these events are what initially led people to believe that Michelle had an interest in holding a position of power herself. Now, it appears as though Michelle may just plan on supporting Hillary Clinton. 
2	Michelle Obama Targets Your Children For Her Next Campaign For the last few years, Michelle Obama has been tirelessly advocating for her Lets Move! campaign, often going to extremes to make her point. According to recent reports, it appears that she is not yet satisfied. She is now targeting bake sales, traditionally used to raise money, restricting them to only being held 30 days each school year. Now, school administrators have finally had enough, and are claiming that these restrictions will impact schools that rely on these fundraisers to support the programs for our children. If the schools decide to sell food that is healthy, it will not count as a fundraising day. Still, officials doubt that there will be a line of students anxiously hoping to get the last celery stick. What do you think? Is it the governments role to regulate bake sales, or should they be focusing on more important issues?

2	BOOM: Trump SHUTS DOWN Obamas Hissy Fit With 2 Incredible Words President Barack Obama exploded on Donald Trump this week, after a meeting with his National Security Council. According to Obama the Republican presidential nominee is guilty of creating a political distraction over the presidents refusal to use the phrase radical Islamic terrorism. What exactly would using this label accomplish? Obama asked furiously. What exactly would it change? Would it make ISIL less committed to trying to kill Americans? Would it bring in more allies? Is there a military strategy that is served by this? he challenged. The answer is, none of the above. Calling a threat by a different name does not make it go away. That is a political distraction. Theres no magic to the phrase, radical Islam, he continued. Its a political talking point; its not a strategy. He went on to add that the issue and his refusal to say the phrase has nothing to do with political correctness. Obama wasnt done there, however. He went on to criticize Trump for his push for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States. This is a country founded on basic freedoms, including freedom of religion, Obama concluded. We dont have religious tests here. Of course, Trump did not take to Obamas comments lightly. Later in the day at a rally in North Carolina, the legendary businessman called Obama one hell of a lousy president. I watched President Obama today and he was more angry at me than at the shooter, he commented. The level of anger, thats the kind of anger he should have for the shooter and these killers that shouldnt be here. Trump then stood by the phrase, arguing that we have a radical Islamic terrorism problem. Instead of addressing that issue, people walked away from Obamas speech thinking, Boy, does he hate Donald Trump. Its true, if Obama is afraid to call a threat by its name, its going to be hard for him to fight it. What do you think? Does Trump have a solid point on this one? 
2	Trump Nails Hillary For Spreading THIS Lie In The Democratic Debate Hillary tried to ruin Donald Trumps reputation during the Democratic Presidential Debate this Saturday. She claimed that ISIS has been using Donald Trump in order to recruit more terrorists. He is becoming ISIS best recruiter, she said at the debate in New Hampshire. They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims to recruit more radical jihadists. This is a harsh accusation. She has no proof to back herself up, and honestly made a fool out of herself. Trump fired back on Twitter by denying her claim with an actual fact check. Hillary Clinton lied when she said that ISIS is using video of Donald Trump as a recruiting tool. This was fact checked by @FoxNews: FALSE. Do you think Hillary is a compulsive liar? 
3	Government Trolls Are Using Psychology-Based Influence Techniques in Social MediaBy Michael Snyder Thanks to Edward Snowden, we now have solid proof that paid government trolls are using psychology-based influence techniques on social media websites such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Documents leaked by Snowden also reveal that government agents have been conducting denial-of-service attacks, flooding social media websites with thinly veiled propaganda and have been purposely attempting to warp public discourse online. If we do not stand up and object to this kind of Orwellian behavior, it is only going to get worse and worse. In the UK, the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) is a specialized unit within the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ). If it wasnt for Edward Snowden, we probably still would never have heard of them. This particular specialized unit is engaged in some very questionable online activities. The following is an excerpt from a recent pieceby Glenn Greenwald and Andrew Fishman Though its existence was secret until last year, JTRIG quickly developed a distinctive profile in the public understanding, after documents from NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed that the unit had engaged in dirty tricks like deploying sexual honey traps designed to discredit targets, launching denial-of-service attacks to shut down Internet chat rooms, pushing veiled propaganda onto social networks and generally warping discourse online. We are told that JTRIG only uses these techniques to go after the bad guys. But precisely who are the bad guys? It turns out that their definition of who the bad guys are is quite broad. Here is more from Glenn Greenwald and Andrew Fishman JTRIGs domestic and law enforcement operations are made clear. The report states that the controversial unit currently collaborates with other agencies including the Metropolitan police, Security Service (MI5), Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), Border Agency, Revenue and Customs (HMRC), and National Public Order and Intelligence Unit (NPOIU). The document highlights that key JTRIG objectives include providing intelligence for judicial outcomes; monitoring domestic extremist groups such as the English Defence League by conducting online HUMINT; denying, deterring or dissuading criminals and hacktivists; and deterring, disrupting or degrading online consumerism of stolen data or child porn. Particularly disturbing to me is the phrase domestic extremist groups. What does someone have to say or do to be considered an extremist? For example, the English Defence League is a non-violent street protest movement in the UK that is strongly against the spread of radical Islam and sharia law in the UK. So if they are extremists, how many millions upon millions of ordinary citizens in the United States would fit that definition? When conducting operations against extremists, psychology-based influence techniques are among the tools that JTRIG uses to combat them online. The following comes from one of the documents that was posted by Greenwald and Fishman And here is another document that was posted by Greenwald and Fishman that talks about how JTRIG uses YouTube, Facebook and Twitter to accomplish their goals And of course this kind of thing does not just happen in the United Kingdom. In Canada, it has been publicly admitted that the government uses paid trolls to warp Internet discourse. The following comes from Natural News Youve probably run into them before those seemingly random antagonizers who always end up diverting the conversation in an online chat room or article comment section away from the issue at hand, and towards a much different agenda. Hot-button issues like illegal immigration, the two-party political system, the war on terror and even alternative medicine are among the most common targets of such attackers, known as internet trolls or shills, who in many cases are nothing more than paid lackeys hired by the federal government and other international organizations to sway and ultimately control public opinion. Several years ago, Canadas CTV News aired a short segment about how its own government had been exposed for hiring secret agents to monitor social media and track online conversations, as well as the activities of certain dissenting individuals. This report, which in obvious whitewashing language referred to such activities as the government simply weighing in and correcting allegedly false information posted online, basically admitted that the Canadian government had assumed the role of secret online police. You can actually watch a video news report about what is happening up in Canada right here. Needless to say, the U.S. government is also engaged in this kind of activity as well. For instance, the U.S. government has actually been caughtmanipulating discourse on Reddit and editing Wikipedia. When it comes to spying, there is nobody that is off limits for our spooks. It just came out recently that we even spied on three French presidents, and they are supposed to be our friends. And just like the UK, the U.S. government has a very broad definition of extremists. This has especially been true since Barack Obama has been in the White House. If you doubt this, please see my previous article entitled 72 Types Of Americans That Are Considered Potential Terrorists In Official Government Documents. All of this is very disturbing to me. Why cant they just leave us alone and let us talk to one another? Why do they have to spy on everything that we do and purposely try to manipulate public discourse? Why do they have to be such control freaks? What do you think? Please feel free to join the discussion by posting a comment below This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

Control freaks is right- I save articles on Evernote with different topics under different notebooks. One of my tags is literally CONTROL FREAKS. I use that one a lot. Washingtons Blog has some good pieces about online trolls btw. Michael, you really need to understand: We are not faced with just partisan politics of the two-party kind. The statists (a combination of socialists and fascists; the socialists at the base of their pyramid of power and the fascists further up) are out for blood mean to take over totally, and turn the world into one big gulag. This has been their plan for years and years; and it is now coming to fruition. Expect things to get worse from here on out, as more and more people wake up to what is going on, and TPTB, having anticipated that, ratchet up their takeover plans. And of course, this is all just conspiracy theory Were being conditioned and bullied to abandon independent thought. If we dare question the gov/media status quo, the name calling, false accusations, more bullying ensue. No questioning or discussion is permitted, just an onslaught of condemnation. Its bizarre and very obvious. The EDL is Not non violent Haha. I get accused of being a shill all of the time, and yet Im not. Its articles like this that lead paranoid people to believe that, if anybody disagrees with their crazy ideas, that person must be a shill. 
3	Ex-Officer Lets Rip a Twitter Rant About Witnessed Baltimore Cop CorruptionBy Amanda Warren Was his Twitter tirade more of a confession or blowing the whistle on corruption he witnessed in the department? He blew the lid on illegal searches, beatings and even more sordid things like defecating and urinating on suspects beds. And now that he has let it all rip, will any of the victims of such corruption get any resolution? According to Huffington Post, a current Baltimore Police Department spokesperson confirmed that Wood left the force in 2014. Wood places the responsibility for the Baltimore riots following Aprils brutal killing of Freddie Grey, solely on the BPD. His Tweets are of the screw it-here goes. variety and as you might imagine, have garnered him some big-time interviews of his choosing not so much with local stations. He is not too unlike the newscaster from Network who has nothing left to lose by honest conversation. As for the brave outlets clamoring him for interviews either the mainstream is desperate to get viewers back or it is just so rare to see someone chuck caution to the wind and do the right thing. But of course, his account has also been blown up with heavy criticism and viciousness. What do you think? He doesnt show signs of stopping. Michael A.

2	Obamas Grandmother Admits That He Was Born In Kenya A clip of audio footage has surfaced lately, showing Barack Obamas own grandmother admitting that the President of the United States was actually born in Kenya. During the telephone interview, Sarah Obama clearly articulates that she was present at Baracks birth. She also admits that it took place in Kenya. Keep in mind that the interview was conducted in 2008, before Obama had won his Presidency. It is possible that Sarah had not yet been told to cover up the presidents true country of origin. In fact, in later interviews, Sarah is seen promising that Barack was born in the United States. What do you think of the clip? Listen below and share your thoughts. 
2	Hillary Clinton Makes Sick Announcement About Colin Kaepernick This past week, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick outraged patriots everywhere when he refused to stand for the national anthem. It took less than 24 hours for fans to start burning his jersey in protest. Still, Kaepernick stood firmly behind his actions. 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 said of his protest. 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. Of course, Hillary Clinton showed exactly where her loyalties lie when she refused to condemn the football player for disrespecting our country. Instead, her pick for Vice President, Tim Kaine, said that we should respect Kaepernick for staying seated. Youre the father of a Marine. Whats your reaction to Colin Kaepernick? Good Morning America host George Stephanopoulis asked Kaine this week. You know, youve got to respect peoples ability to act according to their conscience, Kaine replied. I mean, Id do it differently. I think if you really thought about issues and this country, youd do it differently, and when I heard him explain his rationale, didnt really make much sense to me. But youve got to respect peoples ability to act according to their conscience, so I wouldnt presume to tell him what to do. What do you think? Is this answer absolutely outrageous? Is the entire Clinton campaign a disgrace to this country? 
3	13,000 People Exposed to Big Pharma Shots Contaminated with Rare Fungal MeningitisLisa Garber The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found fungus in sealed vials of the steroid in question, produced by the Massachusetts-based pharmacy, New England Compounding Center (NECC). The NECC voluntarily recalled all of its products on Saturday and surrendered its license to operate until completion of the FDAs investigation. You can find a list of the 76 medical facilities that obtained the steroid at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website. What is Fungal Meningitis? Meningitis inflames the membranes protecting the brain and spinal cord. Usually brought on by a viral or bacterial infection, fungal infection is rare and not contagious but no less deadly. Symptoms include headache; fever; nausea; stiffness of the neck; and (in the case of fungal infection) confusion, dizziness, and aversion to bright light. Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University Medical Center says that because blood vessels clot or bleed in response to fungal infections, symptoms are rarely mild and can be as severe as small strokes. Because patients treated earlier have greater chances of survival, health officials encourage people with symptoms to seek aid. Other Dangers of Pharmaceuticals About 1 in 10 drugs administered in the U.S. are manufactured in compound facilities, which do not answer to FDA mandates and instead go through state health pharmacy boards before sale. Additionally, a report from the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology found states that aluminum hydroxide in vaccines may cause a deadly aluminum overdose for children and adults. Vaccines have also been linked to autism, Guillain-Barre syndrome, paralysis, and death in addition to less severe chronic conditions like allergies and autoimmune diseases.

1	WASHINGTON, DCGovernment documents declassified today reveal that President Bush was briefed last summer of 'a substantial risk' that Vice President Dick Cheney would shoot an elderly male in the face sometime in the next several months. Reports indicate that the White House had this photo of Cheney hunting senior citizens as early as 2001. In a Presidential Daily Briefing given to Bush in August 2005, the CIA warned that the vice president was a potent threat to the senior population at large, and in particular 'possessed the capabilities and intentions to spray a senior citizen with projectiles fired from a shotgun or other weapon.' A second brief identified the population at risk as those 'between 70 and 80 years of age,' and warned that the vice president posed the greatest threat to 'seniors in close proximity to the vice president when he is armed.' The brief, which urged the White House to take 'the most thorough possible precautions to disable this threat to the faces, necks, and chests of the nation's elderly,' was issued a full six months before the events of Feb. 11. The emergence of the document is causing many to question whether Bush and his staff adequately understood or appreciated the the risk posed by Cheney. 'To learn that the president's own people advised him in advance of the strong likelihood that Cheney might spray a helpless geriatric victim with bird shot, and still he did nothing, brings to light very serious concerns about this administration's Cheney-containment policies,' said Victor Steinberg, director of the Froman Institute, a D.C.-based organization that monitors vice-presidential violence. Further investigation revealed that reports of potential Cheney violence have surfaced since the early '90s, but were given higher priority in the Clinton Administration. In January 2001, outgoing Clinton Administration officials made specific warnings to Colin Powell, emphasizing the vice-presidential threat. In a statement released Monday, White House press secretary Scott McClellan pointed to the number of times that random Cheney attacks have been prevented or stopped by the administration. Vice President Dick Cheney 'The president routinely deals with any number of reports concerning the vice president's assaults on our nation's elderly, such as ear-biting, clubbing, or in one case, the hurtling of a photocopier,' McClellan said. 'In each case, the president has seen that appropriate steps are taken, whether that means close monitoring of the vice president, adjustments in his medication, or the removal of heavy equipment from his offices, to ensure the safety of those around him.' 'We assure you that protecting senior citizens from vice-presidential shotgun blasts was, is, and will remain the highest priority of this administration,' he added. 
2	Cop Killer Begs For Mercy, So Judge Gives Him The Death Sentence [VIDEO] Ashford Thompson was stopped at a routine traffic stop when he made the decision to kill a cop for no reason. Now, a video shows the murderer react as he is faced with the death penalty for his actions. 24-year-old Thompson is shown telling the Judge that he is facing brutal harassment in prison, which includes actions like not getting his mail or any bed sheets. He also argues that he cant get any kind of justice. Keep in mind that Thompson admitted to the murder of Officer Joshua Miktarian in 2008. Do you support the Judges decision? Watch the video below and tell us what you think: 
2	Detroit Murderers Yawn In Courtroom, So Judge Does THIS Frederick Young, 25, and Felando Hunter, 24, were convicted in the high-profile murders of two Detroit-area teens. Now, the pair are taking a defiant attitude in court, disrespecting the victims family members and waiting for their sentences. According to recent reports, the pair yawned and feigned total disinterest as Judge Dalton Robertson sentenced the two murderers to life without parole. The two were convicted of first-degree murder, felony murder, torture, armed robbery, and unlawful imprisonment in the murders of Jacob Kudla and Jourdan Bobbish. Young and Hunter robbed the teens before killing them, and eventually dumping their bodies in a vacant lot. Police have reported that the two victims were forced to strip at gunpoint, before they were put in the trunk of the car and shot execution-style in the parking lot. I stand here today broken inside, Carrie Bobbish said during the trial, in her heartbreaking testimony. I have sorrow in my heart, soul and every fiber of my being today, and I will carry that with me for the rest of my life here on Earth. Instead of apologizing, however, Young went on a rant about Garner and the fact that black lives matter. It was pretty ignorant for him to ask forgiveness for murders of others y ou have chosen to take someone elses life, Bobbishs brother, Jordan, told reporters. In a room full of people who were hurting he was apologizing for the actions of others instead of the actions he took. I feel bad for him; obviously, he doesnt understand what he did to our family. What do you think? Did the two thugs get what they deserve? 
3	A Return to the Madness of: M.A.D.By Brett Redmayne-Titley Again, absolutely all politics are reduced to White or Black. There is no gray. All peoples of our world again exist within a fateful clash between only two distinct ideologies, best summed-up as; Good vs. Evil. Right vs. Wrong. Life or death? A mere generation ago the colors of worldwide military polarization were then thrust upon the innocent by mad politicians with similar delusions of empire who, then, portrayed their geo-political expansionism in the easily understood colors of Red vs. Blue: East vs. West. The Cold War. The once Soviet empire vs. the ever-since burgeoning US contra-empire. The multitude of issues separating the two supposedly separate doctrines of Red or Blue ultimately distilled into one single, horrific doctrine of military nuclear madness that all on earth finally, by the necessity of self-preservation, truly understood. To increase the perceived terror of their new doctrine of horror, these politicians announced an all-too-accurate acronym that translated their man-made horror into a simple definition no sane person could ignore. A doctrine of pure madness, one trumpeted by treasonous politicians and readily admitted to by their military leaders in the name of final world victory. M.A.D. Mutually. Assured. Destruction. Ours. Suddenly, the citizens on either side of the Iron Curtain were faced daily with a very real, very personal threat. A terror haunting their nightmares, while a military nuclear build-up pushed forward globally. To all the moral world, the issue of this terror was not Red vs. Blue but pure and simply the black of heartless men, not the white of conscience and humanity. All knew: for the future of man, this nuclear madness had to be stopped. Or, else? And, so it was. The citizens of the countries of the world rose up together, day-after-day, year-after-year. The mind-set of the world changed. In December of 1987 the Doomsday Clock of Armageddon, that had ever-ticked forwards towards oblivion each New Year seemingly for a lifetime was, thankfully, for the first time moved backwards! The destruction of man was no longer assured. This day brought on further gains such as the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and with them the seeming end of the era of nuclear madness. For the first time in memory the world relaxed with a collective sigh of overdue relief. The threat was over. White had defeated Black. Sanity-nay humanity- had overcome both Blue and Red. That call to order has sounded again. The madmen have returned. The rhetoric screams of an intention to practically declare war on Russia. They [US Military] only talk about defense, but in fact they are preparing an offensive. Mikhail Gorbachev. NATO has been under direction from Washington, DC for the inception of many recent wars re-branded as conflicts. Much the same can be said of the United Nations. As American diplomatic hegemony leads to the further placement of US missile systems surrounding Russia, what was once a post-Cold War promise by the US and NATO not to use former Soviet-bloc nations for offensive military purposes has left barely a handful not pointing US-provided guns back at a targeted Russia. It can be argued correctly that, beginning with the shootings at Maidan Square, Ukraine and continuing to Gaza, Palestine in 2014, these two Obama-backed war crimes of atrocity began an epiphany of the world public, but also of world leaders. Then, the willful barbarism of the Odessa massacre. Next flight MH370 disappeared, literally, and then MH17 was shot out of the sky along with 298 peoples futures. Following these atrocities was the US propagation, support and funding of the un-holy terror- pure evil personified ISIS/ Daesh. Currently Libya and Iraq wallow in US-inspired political and military chaos. All this took place with five years of Obama-inspired Syrian slaughter as a daily backdrop. Wrapped in a controlled American medias many depths of deliberate, gray obfuscation the truth is so graphic that it has clearly been revealed to the remaining moral world. The collective hidden American message: America places no value whatsoever on human life. Yours! The world of gray is not working. The predictable cover-up of all these and many other US approved atrocities fails to fool the world, nor its conscience, any longer. Instead, these examples show clearly to all which two countries truly lead the worlds expanding dark and immoral minions. In a black and white world not shrouded in media gray, the answer is obvious. America and Israel. Three years-on from Maidan Square, a massive worldwide defensive military build-up is taking place in countries directly under US threat. Countries that have previously tried peace, appeasement and diplomacy, such as Russia, Iran, and China, have all had their own recent Maidan epiphanies. Finding, instead, their efforts, their leaders and their countries in-turn demonized, they now realize their US-declared enemy is not interested in any technique of political communication other than the singular language of war, terror and death. Talks that began at Washingtons behest immediately post-Maidan with Warsaw, Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary, about the permanent stationing of US Army equipment warehouses, including heavy weapons, have all come to fruition in the last few months. Despite violating the post-Soviet NATO accords with these actions, Russia finds itself, thanks to US control of these former Russian satellites, increasingly surrounded ever-closer to its own borders. Consider the developments of this past week, all within rocket distance from Moscow: On, Saturday July 16, 2016, 28 NATO leaders agreed to the alliances biggest military revamp since the Cold War. Claiming a resurgent Russia they vowed to unite behind a hard-headed policy of deterrence and dialogue with Russia. Proving their point, Romania and Poland immediately received funding and began installing US land-based missile systems. Circling to the southeast, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced that the Pentagon has budgeted $3.45 billion in annual US funds to pay for 350,000 Afghan forces, with the Kabul government contributing an additional sum of around $420 million, for a total yearly budget of nearly $5 billion. This belies, of course, that the US has been-there-done-that to near zero effect, but does highlight the continued US attempt to surround Russia with American war-power. Stoltenberg stated, The united message is that defense and dialogue are what our relationship is based on. Really? This week a US-guided missile destroyer, USS Ross, equipped with the Aegis advanced missile defense system entered the Black Sea heading to the Ukrainian port city of Odessa to join the international maritime exercises Sea Breeze 2016 along with, Bulgaria, Greece, Lithuania, Italy, Poland, Romania, Turkey, the UK, Georgia and Ukraine. A statement issued by the Russian foreign ministry seemed more accurate. A preliminary analysis of the results of the meeting shows that NATO continues to exist in some sort of military-political looking-glass world. Whats a peaceful nation to do? For Iran, the chicanery of US negotiators during the P5+1 nuclear treaty negotiations has not stopped with its passage and correctly reinforces strong suspicions. This past week the US Congress reneged on this signed treaty by imposing new sanctions, refusing to cancel sanctions listed in the treaty and introduced new anti-Iran legislation. Despite the promised reprieve from the crippling US sanctions that resulted in the deaths of over a million Iranians, the Iranian leadership had maintained diplomacy and satisfied all the five other signatory nations. But despite Obama signing for the US, what should be a historic peace agreement, congresspersons blustered with scripted hatred and promises of regime change and military intervention. Whats a peaceful nation to do? Americas third declared enemy, China, is getting quite tired of US incursions into their air space and into their territorial waters. US naval ships continue to deliberately provoke conflict regarding the Spratly Islands in the South China sea, less than five hundred miles from Chinese turf. Make no mistake, this is not a turf war, this is an oil war.The recent move by the South Korean side has harmed the foundation of mutual trust between the two countries, Reuters cited Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi as telling his South Korean counterpart, Yun Byung-se. Emphasizing their rising suspicions, the US this week sent a full Navy battle group to maintain close proximity to the Spratlys. Also, US reconnaissance planes have taking a liking to encroaching on Chinese air space and disturbing commercial flights. Last month the US imposed a 555% tariff on Chinese steel imports. Whats a peaceful nation to do? Underscoring the current post-Maidan worlds change-of-heart, China last week announced it will now shift from territorial air defense to both defense and offense. We have prepared ourselves for the most dangerous scenarios- Brig. General Hossein Salami, Lt. Commander/ the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Indeed. Since Maidan, an unprecedented military build-up has accelerated globally by those who are under threat of American expansionism. This build-up has covered six major facets: Iran, particularly, has showcased marked achievements in all six areas over the past two-plus post-Maidan years, now displaying a formidable array of new military advancements. With its educational system on the rise and having already achieved world rankings of 7th in Nanotechnologies and 15th in Production Science, it is not surprising that Iran has so quickly introduced a wide battery of new military defenses as well. These include cyber warfare, drone technology and remote-controlled attack speed boats. With American hegemony seeming to have no bounds, these build-ups are also taking place from Venezuela to Pakistan, Brazil to India. But, the true horror lies not in the build-up of long-since mislabeled conventional weapons dispersed across the borders of the globe. There is now only one primary threat. There is only one political issue. That issue is pure black. Not one shade of gray. It is nuclear. Where have all the people gone my honey, -From, Morning Dew. composed by Bonnie Dobson. In resisting the American militarys pivot to Asia (read: China), its encroachment of Russias western flank by NATO, and the persistent attempts to manifest war with the Iranian leadership, it is the prudent, preventative measures of these three leading nations that show to the remaining free world, clearly, that, one: they, now, well understand this threat, and two: they must prepare for it. The nuclear threat of the Cold War era was a different threat, however. During those anxious times, the threat of M.A.D. was an implicit bluff: bluffing that no world leader, Red or Blue, would be so callous, so cruel, so immoral as to be the one to press the button, thereby dooming their enemies and millions of their own countrymen to certain death and nuclear winter. This bluff was based on one existing fundamental of all men: humanity. Love of life. In those by-gone times of daily implied Armageddon, although tested several times on the razors edge of geo-politics, humanity triumphed. No trembling hand could find, then, the will to apply a calloused finger to the final button of global termination. That was long ago. Today, by any metric of the post-Maidan era, America has shown that it has foregone all considerations with respect to innocent life or humanity. World populations are merely collateral damage of a rampaging American hegemony. In the societal charge of Criminal Insanity, depraved indifference to human life, is considered. Therefore, any leader of a nation that finds collateral death of the innocent to be acceptable is: guilty as charged! Hence, we are dealing with madmen. According to data exchanged under new START requirements, as of October 1, 2014, the United States had 1,642 deployed strategic warheads, compared to 1,643 for Russia. The number of deployed ICBMs, SLBMs and strategic bombers the means to deliver the nuclear horror for the United States was 794, compared to 528 for Russia. America long ago ignored its moral obligation under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) which it joined in 1970 and which was extended indefinitely on May 11, 1995. Instead, it used twisted language to justify a massive nuclear upgrade to make its existing arsenal more threatening to the world. The cost, which is in addition to this years $598.5 billion dollar military budget, is, of course, secret. Hence, Russia and China have followed suit. Certainly these concerns about future nuclear actions of America were only increased when the current American Congress and Senate provided massive, and of course secret, funding to move NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) back inside Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado. This is the bunker created deep inside a solid granite mountain in 1966, said to be able to withstand a direct nuclear strike. NORAD was sheltered there until 2005 when the threat of nuclear retaliation was, then, minimal. Cheyenne Mountain also had another sinister purpose: to house in comfort, presumably until plant life outside was able to grow again, the leaders of the free world. Those leaders whose populations were likely dead or dying in the smoldering, gray remains of morning outside. The madmen! So, leaders in Iran, Russia, and China are under an offensive US nuclear threat. They have been forced by obligation of national self-preservation to shift to offensive weapons, including the nuclear option. The result of this offensive reactionary deterrent is indeed the return, in sad practicality, to the doctrine of M.A.D. One of the nuclear response weapons that China has recently begun testing is a hypersonic nuclear weapon delivery system, the WU-14. A test of the hypersonic glide vehicle was carried out on June 7 and is the missiles fourth test in 18 months. The strategic strike weapon is extremely advanced and can travel at 10 times the speed of sound, or 12,231.01kph. The Wu-14 is capable of maneuvering during flight while traveling at the edge of space, and so is extremely difficult to shoot down. In Russia, production of the Tu-160 Blackjack supersonic strategic bomber and missile carrier will resume with updated improvements, according to defense minister, Sergey Shoigu. Further, in 2015 Russias new 100-ton silo-based heavy ballistic missile Sarmat began undergoing its initial tests. On December 4, 2015 in his address to the Federal Assembly, Russian President Vladimir Putin set objectives for the countrys military policy. Russia aims to maintain its military advantage, prioritize the rearmament of its nuclear deterrence forces and refit up to 100 percent of its military hardware by 2020. This policy is obviously moving rapidly, with the ultra-hawkish Brookings Institutions Steven Pifer admitting, Russias strategic modernization program today appears to far outpace U.S. efforts. It is national resources that are the difference between the American set of allied nations and those they seek to conquer. These invading countries are of an aging empire bankrupt in all resources normally part of any flourishing nation. These destitute nations economies and banking industries are on the brink of collapse, their natural resources terminally and forever depleted, exports in contraction, GDP in recession, unemployment growing to revolutionary levels, the moral and social wealth of their countries corrupted, their people increasingly impoverished and their laws optional and plutocratic. The aging empire has very little left, so it would steal, using their armies, from those countries who have, in abundance, all of what the empire lacks, what it has thrown away: a future! So, the madmen are desperate. A desperate man with nothing to lose is capable of any insanity at any moment. Post-Maidan, we need not see more. Although preparing, it is doubtful that Russia, China and Iran, nations with so many assets and prosperous national futures will cast aside their respect for humanity after years of renewing flourishing societies. As Russian president Putin expressed succinctly to Italian news outlet, Il Corriere della Sera, I think that only an insane person and only in a dream can imagine that Russia would suddenly attack NATO. I think some countries are simply taking advantage of peoples fears with regard to Russia. Fear. On Jan 22, 2015, the nuclear Doomsday clock of Armageddon suddenly moved forward two minutes. Two full minutes! It stands now at three-minutes-to midnight. The return to the madness of M.A.D. cannot be covered from our eyes in shrouds of the lies of gray. For, since Maidan, the issue of M.A.D. is a sirens scream sent from the souls of all the past victims of empire. It pierces the ears. Whether we listen, we hear it on the winds of change. The forgotten howl. With a lonely cry, the dead scream. A warning: The madmen have returned.

3	Illinois County Looks to Balance Budget Through Gun TaxJoe Wright However, a disarmed populace offers little resistance to criminals, so Illinois actually comes in at #35 on the 2012 U.S. Peace Index. Even corporate media has had to admit that murder rates remain the same even in tough gun law states. In a new tax scheme covered in the video below, gun buyers in Cook County, IL will have to pay an additional $25 per purchase in what is of course being dubbed the violence tax. Citing a massive 25% spike in gun-related violence in the Chicago area, the county feels that this new tax properly reflects the values and priorities of the administration. This new tax should more properly be called the survival tax, as it only penalizes those who might seek out a proven way to defend oneself against rising crime. By calling it a violence tax it implies that gun buyers are overwhelmingly violent people. The Second Amendment to the Constitution does not draw this conclusion.

2	Hillary VP Pick TURNS On Her And HUMILIATES Her With These 9 Scathing Words Most Americans hate Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. All election season long shes had problems attracting people to her rallies while Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump has had capacity crowds and even her fellow Democrat Bernie Sanders was lavished with rock star-like attention. Hillary, on the other hand, has had to practically pay people to show up at her stump speeches. She has been combing the political landscape far and wide to find a suitable running. There must be somebody, anybody out there that actually likes her and is willing to associate their name with her sullied Clinton name. Youd think that of all people in America, at least the people on her Vice Presidential shortlist would be willing to say some nice things about her. Youd be wrong. Hillary Clinton Retired Admiral James Stavridis on her shortlist, and he quickly spurned her and slammed her with some awesome words. Hes not even committed to voting for her in November. And Hillary was stupid enough to think hed be her running mate? Listen to what he had to say here: 
2	BREAKING: Obama Is Training His Army To Combat U.S Citizens If there is anything Texans have shown in the last few years, it is that they are unwilling to bow down to the Obama administration at the cost of defending their state. Now, the administration has reportedly labeled Texas a hostile state. According to recent reports, the U.S. Army Special Operations Command has just filed a Request to Conduct Realistic Military Training to local officials. During the training, military personnel will simulate responses to domestic insurgents. JS is a challenging eight-week joint military and interagency (IA) unconventional warfare (UW) exercise conducted throughout Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah and Colorado, a presentation released by the Defense Department revealed. The power point also deems Texas, a portion of Southern California, and most of Utah hostile. The labeling has raised several questions when it comes to the motives of the administration, especially given that the majority of the states given such a label are anti-Obama. What do you think of the new development? Does the administration have hidden motives? 
2	Woman With Concealed Carry Guns Down Shooter In Church Over the past few years, President Obama has been intent on turning every tragedy our nation faces into an opportunity to push stricter gun control. He likes to pretend that the violence we face is rooted in our Second Amendment rights, and that stripping the American public of these will make people safer. But time and time again, weve seen what can happen when a potential mass murderer does come face to face with a gun ownerand the story ends very differently than Obama would have you think. The 2007 Colorado YWAM and New Life shootings were a massive killing spree that left the public shaking. 34-year-old Matthew J. Murray opened fire at the Youth With A Mission training center in Arvada, Colorado, armed with a pistol. He was able to kill two and wound another two before escaping. Later that afternoon, Murray attacked the New Life Church in Colorado Springs with several additional firearms. That incident once again left two dead and three more wounded. This time, Murray turned the gun on himself. But that story is not what you think. According to reports, Murray opened fire at about 1:00 PM, just thirty minutes after the 11:00 am service ended at the church. He open fired in the parking lot, shooting the Works family and a woman named Judy Purcell. He then entered the buildings main foyer where he shot on more church-goer. Thats when he ran into Jeanne Assam, a former Minneapolis police officer, who opened fire on Murray with her own gun. Authorities believe that Murray took his life only after suffering multiple hits from Assam. What do you think? If Assam hadnt stepped in, could this tragedy have been way worse? 
2	Shocking Photos Of Hillary Clinton Leak, Do You Want This In The White House? [VIDEO] Glenn Beck was not subtle about slamming Hillary Clinton this week during his radio program. In an installment of the show, he accused the presidential hopeful of being a hypocrite in claiming that she supports same-sex marriage. Beck went on to suggest that Clinton came out last year after she found out it was acceptable. Im telling you, Hillary Clinton will be having sex with a woman on theWhite House desk if it becomes popular, he joked. Shell be like, Look, the arc of history wasnt ready for a president to be a lesbian and have sex on the desk. Of course, this isnt the first time Clintons sexuality has come into question. Bill Clintons alleged mistress Gennifer Flowers has also come forward with information about Clinton being a lesbian, and potentially engaged with a relationship with her aide Huma Abedin. What do you think? Is Hillary Clinton a liar? Do we need to keep her as far away from the White House as possible? 
3	Brussels Attacks - The Next Step: Bye Bye EuropeBy Jon Rappoport In the wake of the attacks, the Globalist party line is shaping up: Downsize? Absolutely not. NATO must respond. Led by the US, it must, wait for it, invade Syria, an ISIS stronghold. With ground troops. Dont even bother trying to figure out the logic behind that idea. It goes something like this: get rid of President Assad (who is in a war against ISIS) because somehow the Brussels attack is all his fault. Led by the US, NATO should attack ISIS in SyriaISIS, the group funded and backed and armed by the US government. Perfect. Gibberish. I can just hear a US general trying to decipher his marching orders: Lets see, we have to go into Syria and get rid of President Assad, and hes the one fighting against ISIS. Hmm. And we also have to decimate ISIS. In other words, we should more or less level the whole country, wipe out everybody, and turn the place into a wasteland worse than the wasteland it already is. Right? And while were doing that, we have to ignore the fact that our government shipped weapons to ISIS from Libya. How about this instead? Locate the key people who are urging this insane military campaign and put them in prison where they cant do more harm. Or lets launch an operation against the moon. That would be good, too. French President Hollande is also right up there on the insanity index. His latest statement, after the Brussels attacks, assures one and all that this is a war against Europe, not merely Belgium. But he is the one who has been asserting that Europe has no right to question the flood of immigrants streaming across the continent. Border controls? No, no. What possible relationship could any of these immigrants have to terror attacks? They were trained outside Europe on how to mount bombing operations against civilian populations, after which they came into Europe with that intention? Sure, but so what? Housed within Brussels, of course, is the headquarters of the European Union, which is Globalism Inc. for Europe. Its covert aim is to drown all nations of the continent in immigrants, so that within a few decades there will be no more recognizable countriesat which point a simple declaration that all of Europe is one indivisible entity will carry the day. This intention must never be spoken of. It must be hidden. Instead, the population of Europe must enlist in a universal, what shall we call it, Tolerance Corps, grinning from ear to ear wherever they go, urging acceptance of the new status quo, now and then grieving as new terror attacks blow people up. Who could doubt the efficacy and wisdom of this plan? Do not offend the people who are blowing you up. Do not realize who is covertly backing the people who are blowing you up. Instead, rely on these backers to stop the people who are blowing you up. Keep smiling. Dont worry, be happy. All is well. Your tolerance and compassion and good cheer will earn you a gold star on the heavenly blackboard. Keep opening your door to all who enter. Extend them a helping hand, just as your government does. Your visitors will make your land a better place. Let us all sing a hymn of joy. The realities of the situation dont matter. The only thing that matters is your basic desire for kindness. You must give lip service to that. You must sing the hymn, because it marks you as a good person. Stop thinking. Mark yourself as a good person. The US/Globalist wars of decimation in the Middle East and Northern Africa? The blowback from the wars? Not important. Not relevant. Well, they are relevant in one respect. You personally are guilty for those wars. Therefore, you must now surrender to whatever happens. You must give up everything as a sign of your humility and guilt. You have no right to defend yourselves. Nor do you have the right to insist that your governments defend you. Of course not. Everything is all right. Everybody is all right. We are everybody. One great cheese glob of the coming utopia. Somewhere in the bowels of the EU headquarters, a high-ranking official is standing in front of a mirror, applying tan base to his parched pale face, combing his sparse hair, rehearsing his upcoming statement to the press: Lets see. Reality versus appearance. The reality is, this is perfect for us. An attack within a mile of our building. We couldnt have anything to do with it. Were victims. Weve been making sure the governments of Europe keep their borders open, to let in terrorists, and so on. Now, when I appear before reportersthe appearance. I need to affect an expression of outrage mixed with sadness. Dignified. Do dignified. The terrible events of today, the assault on Europe, on the stability of society. We will not rest until we bring the criminals to justice. At the same time, we must not fall into the trap of believing that all people coming to our lands areno, scratch that last part. Too early for that. The bodies are still lying on the ground. Stay with the outrage and the sadness. And assurances that we will work harder to gain control over the situation. We all stand united. Together. Our thoughts are with the grieving families He walks out into a large hall, exits the building, and stands before a throng of reporters. He nods, steps to a podium. He looks out into the distance, as if summoning up a greater understanding. But he already understands. He understands very well. Only a complete fool wouldnt.

Prison is not the answer they must be eradicated once and for all. They are nothing more than disease carrying vermin who will forever be the scourge of humanity for as long as they exist . What a sad commentary of the current European situation. NATO is in large part responsible for the terrible problems that Europe is facing. That moribund organization should be comprised only of European states. Both Canada and the US should withdraw. Without its captive defense organization to fall back on, the US might think twice before boldly destroying yet another Middle East or African nation! The Europeans themselves would never countenance moving NATO bases into Ukraine to provoke Russia. That is all an American idea. They are using the tendency towards altruism that white people developed during our ancestors long years of surviving in the very harsh ice-age environment to destroy us. No other people on the planet share this inheritance and hence no other people would be so vulnerable. 
2	New Law To Punish Sex Offenders Has Them Running For The Hills [VIDEO] According to recent reports, Oklahoma State Senator Mark Allen just offered his support to a bill that would cause violent sex offenders to face chemical castration as a consequence of their actions. Allen joins Florida and California in his views. If passed, first time violent sex offenders will be given an option to undergo the chemical treatment process in exchange for less time served. Second time offenders, however, will be forced to undergo the procedure to remove them as a threat to society. What do you think? Do you support the legislation? Is this law ever going to pass? 
1	Able to call to mind a unique anecdote for each grease smudge, errant pen mark, and splash of barbecue sauce, local man Thomas Newcomb, 31, has a story for every single stain on his pants, sources confirmed Thursday. That brown one right there near the inseam is from Ribfest back in 08; man, that was an unbelievable weekend, Newcomb told reporters while gesturing toward his spotted and discolored pair of blue jeans, which include reminders of an array of cherished memories that include a streak of engine oil from when he patched up the carburetor on his first motorcycle, a mustard splotch from the hot dog he dropped when he caught a foul ball at a Cincinnati Reds game, and several white-looking drops from when he accidentally dumped some bleach into his laundry the day before a job interview. And then theres this bit of blood from when I tripped and fell on the way back from Paddys Pub the last night of college; God, I was pretty drunk the night I got that one. And these red wine specks are from June 8, 2009how could I forget? Thats from the party where I first met Chelsea. When asked about a series of light grass stains on his left pant leg, Newcomb reportedly grew suddenly pensive and, after an extended pause, claimed that [he didnt] want to talk about that right now. 
3	Immortal Technique: Our Ignorance Affects the WorldYoutube RT 
1	DETROIT/PITTSBURGHAs the Stanley Cup Finals continue, Penguins and Red Wings fans alike are urging their teams to spare their beleaguered cities the expense of a championship victory. 'We are extremely proud of our Red Wings, and we know they could certainly come through for us, but we beg them: Please don't make us throw an expensive and wasteful championship parade,' said Detroit mayor and former NBA great Dave Bing, who wore a Penguins jersey as he spoke to reporters Wednesday of how he had done his civic duty in the turbulent 1960s and '70s by not winning an NBA championship with the Pistons. 'The Western Conference championship is all our city can afford at this time.' Pittsburgh mayor Luke Ravenstahl also spoke on Wednesday, telling the media that his city was 'devastated' Tuesday when the Penguins won Game 3 of the finals after a financially promising 0-2 start. 'The Steelers' championship parade cost us roughly $6.5 million in street closures, float rental, security expenditures, and sanitation overtimenot to mention the incalculable loss of man-hours for our struggling local businesses,' Ravenstahl said. 'Pittsburgh can't afford to forget how the four Super Bowl parades we had in the 1970s were followed by mill closures, layoffs, and a decade-long recession. Let's go Wings!' The first two games, both played in Detroit's aging, dilapidated Joe Louis Arena, went poorly for the home team as the Wings were unable to keep themselves from scoring. After the stalemate of the opening faceoff, which saw both teams remaining absolutely motionless for several minutes and refusing to touch the dropped puck until referees threatened to declare a double-forfeit, the players struggled valiantly to score on themselves and defend the opposing net in a contest that ended in triumph for the Penguins, who lost 1-3. Game 2 was a virtual repeat, with the added ignominy of former hometown favorite and Michigan native Justin Abdelkader scoring the second of his first two NHL goals, putting the game away for the Red Wings and inching Detroit closer to Stanley Cup victory and economic collapse. 'I did everything I could, but Sidney Crosby just refuses to not lay down and die,' said Detroit netminder Chris Osgood, who allowed only one goal in each of the first two games and took personal responsibility for the victories. 'I tried scooping the puck in, I tried gloving it past myself, I used the stick, but it kept going off the post. The fans gave me hell, and they're rightI'll never forgive myself if we win the Cup and they have to close a bunch of schools.' Game 3 is being called a possible turning point, a dominant performance by the Penguins that has left a once-hopeful Pittsburgh staring at the dreaded prospect of not only a monstrously expensive come-from-behind victory in the series, but also the cost of hosting yet more games if the Cup Finals drag on. Analysts were quick to dissect the sudden change in momentum. 'They did everything they could, reallyno real forechecking, Fleury went down on his back a lot, and they dressed defenseman Hall Gill. Hal Gill sucks. At one point they even tried to draw a penalty by putting six guys on the ice for 20 seconds, but the refs were letting them play, and the Wings just underwhelmed them,' said Bloomberg financial analyst Hamilton Kublin. 'Pittsburgh has to do a better job of neutralizing Crosby, Malkin, and Gonchar, or they'll win the championship and the city won't be able to keep the lights on.' 'A Red Wings victory would be a big boost to civic pride, but the resulting celebrations would be a fatal blow to the city budget,' Detroit City Council president Ken Cockerel, Jr. said. 'I intend to ask Washington for a bailout in which they send Alexander Ovechkin to Pittsburgh for the length of the series. Whatever happens, I know Detroit will be rooting for the Penguins from here on out.' Mayors Bing and Ravenstahl have met publicly to discuss the series and wish each other luck, though neither seems willing to budge on the terms of the traditional mayor's bet they agreed to before Game 1, which states that the winning city will grant the losing city 5,000 full-time jobs in the manufacturing and technology sectors. 
3	Which America Do You Live In? 21 Hard To Believe Facts About Wealthy America And Poor AmericaMichael Snyder For many Americans, making a choice between buying food for your family and paying the light bill is a common occurrence. But if you dont live in that America, hearing that people actually live like that may sound very strange to you. After all, if everyone around you has expensive cars, the latest electronic gadgets and million dollar homes, the notion that America is in the midst of a very serious economic decline may seem very bizarre to you. On Wednesday, the Dow hit a brand newrecord high, and Wall Street celebrated. Since the financial crisis of 2008, stocks have been on an unprecedented run. The top performers in the market have not just made millions of dollars they have made billions of dollars. Luxury apartments in Manhattan and beachfront homes in the Hamptons are selling for absolutely astronomical prices, and it seems like life in the good parts of New York City is one gigantic endless party these days. Meanwhile, life is quite good down in Washington D.C. as well. The wealth is spread more evenly, but on average the D.C. region actually has the highest standard of living of any major U.S. city. The reason for this is the obscene growth of the federal government. Over the past couple of decades, the U.S. government has ballooned in size and so have government salaries. During one recent year, the average federal employee living in the Washington D.C. area received total compensation worth more than $126,000. And with the Twitter IPO coming up, Internet euphoria is once again reaching a fever pitch. For example, just check out what a 56-year-old administrative assistant said this week about why she is going to buy Twitter stock Im just buying because everybodys talking about Twitter, she said. Im just gonna take a chance. Is that how we should make our investment decisions from now on? Just buy a stock because everybodys talking about it? That is the kind of insanity that is going on in wealthy America right now. Unfortunately, the gap between wealthy America and poor America is greater than ever before. CNN recently profiled a 44-year-old overnight prison guard named Delores Gilmore. She works really hard, but a lot of times she simply does not have enough money to pay all of her bills The first of the month, I pay the rent, she said. The next check, I pay my light bills. Sometimes I wont pay my rent and I pay the light bill from last month if they cut if it off. Then I pay the rent the end of the month. Her life consists of going to work, taking care of her children, going to sleep, and then getting back up and repeating that same cycle once again Im not fooling anybody, she told me. I dont have any friends. And thats sad. I go to work, come home, take them where they gotta go, if they gotta go somewhere, come back home, lay down, go to work. Sadly, the truth is that tens of millions of Americans can identify with what she is going through on a daily basis. In millions of families, both the husband and the wife work multiple jobs and it is still not enough. If we truly did have a free market capitalist system, the entire country would be a land of opportunity and things would be getting better for everybody. Unfortunately, that is not the case at all. The following are 21 facts about wealthy America and poor America that are hard to believe #1 The lowest earning 23,303,064 Americans combined make 36 percent less than the highest earning 2,915 Americans do. #2 40 percent of all American workers (39.6 percent to be precise) make less than $20,000 a year. #3 According to the Pew Research Center, the top 7 percent of all U.S. households own 63 percent of all the wealth in the country. #4 On average, households in the top 7 percent have 24 times as much wealth as households in the bottom 93 percent. #5 According to numbers that were just released this week, 49.7 million Americans are living in poverty. That is a brand new all-time record high. #6 In the United States today, the wealthiest one percent of all Americans have a greater net worth combinedthan the bottom 90 percent combined. #7 Household incomes have actually been declining for five years in a row and total consumer credit has risen by a whopping 22 percent over the past three years. #8 According to Forbes, the 400 wealthiest Americans have more wealth than the bottom 150 million Americans combined. #9 The homeownership rate in the United States is at an 18-year low. #10 The six heirs of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton have as much wealth as the bottom one-third of all Americans combined. #1118 percent of all food stamp dollars are spent at Wal-Mart. #12 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the middle class is taking home a smaller share of the overall income pie than has ever been recorded before. #13 It is hard to believe, but right now 1.2 million students that attend public schools in America are homeless. That number has risen by 72 percent since the start of the last recession. #14 One recent study discovered that nearly half of all public students in the United States come from low income homes. #15 In 1980, CEOs at SP 500 companies made 42 times as much as their employees did on average. Today, CEOs at SP 500 companies make 354 times as much as their employees do on average. In fact, there are many CEOs that make more than 1000 times what the average employees in their companies make. #16 U.S. families that have a head of household that is under the age of 30 have a poverty rate of 37 percent. #17 At this point, one out of every four American workers has a job that pays $10 an hour or less. #18 Today, the United States actually has a higher percentage of workers doing low wage work than any other major industrialized nation does. #19 Approximately one out of every five households in the United States is now on food stamps. #20 The number of Americans on food stamps has grown from 17 million in the year 2000 to more than 47 million today. #21 At this point, the poorest 50 percent of all Americans collectively own just 2.5 percent of all the wealth in the United States.

1	Garry Melcher's plans to have sexual intercourse at last weekend's DragonCon 2001 were unsuccessful, the 27-year-old comic-book collector and science-fiction fan conceded Tuesday. Melcher stands alone in the Dealers Hall. 'I was really hoping to meet some ladies at DragonCon for a little of the old horizontal bop,' said Melcher, who has been unwillingly celibate for the last 17 months. 'It didn't really pan out, though.' Billed as 'America's largest annual convention for fans of sci-fi, fantasy and horror, comics and art, games and computers, animation, science, music, television, and films,' DragonCon 2001 was held at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Atlanta from Aug. 31 to Sept. 3. Unfortunately, not one of the convention's 20,000-plus attendees was willing to copulate with Melcher at any point during the four days of the event. 'I drove down to Atlanta with my best friend Andy [Razowsky], but I opted against sharing a hotel room with him, just in case I ended up needing a little privacy,' Melcher said. 'In fact, I was even thinking of going to DragonCon just by myself, to do a lone-wolf sort of thing.' According to Melcher, women in his hometown of Calhoun Falls 'wouldn't know the Green Lantern from the Green Arrow.' As a result, he has not had a date since former girlfriend and longtime Illuminati: New World Order opponent Carrie Lenz broke up with him in March 2000. 'I know a lot of girls online, but that's not really the same,' Melcher said. 'I needed to see some face to face.' Melcher said he was greatly looking forward to DragonCon, which offers attendees many opportunities to socialize. Events this year included three dancesthe Classic Style Gothic Industrial dance on Friday, '80s New Wave on Saturday, and Electronic Body Music, Synth-Pop, and Modern Gothic-Industrial on Sundayas well as unofficial dances and drum circles each night on the Hyatt Regency's Pool Deck. 'The whole week before DragonCon, people on the Internet bulletin boards were posting messages about different parties they'd be throwing,' Melcher said. 'They were all like, 'Anyone can come. It's in Room 645 Sunday night. See you there!' I hadn't been to a party in a while, so I was pretty psyched.' As DragonCon approached, Melcher found himself daydreaming about some of the possible convention scenarios that might lead to sexual congress. 'I imagined some girl and I talking about the new Lord Of The Rings movie,' Melcher said. 'Then I could say, 'Oh, I have the trailer on my laptop back in my hotel room if you want to see it. I was also thinking it'd be really cool if I was up against some girl in a trivia contest, and it came down to us battling it out neck-and-neck... I could definitely see things getting heated in a situation like that.' A trio of DragonCon 2001 attendees, one of whom, significantly, is a woman. Added Melcher: 'The crazy thing is, I did actually wind up entering a trivia contest. Unfortunately, I got knocked out on the first question. I should've known [Angel cast member] Andy Hallett's hometown was Osterville, MA.' Upon arriving at DragonCon, Melcher found himself disappointed in the dating pool, noticing a gender ratio decidedly skewed toward males. 'I guess girls aren't into dragons and superheroes as much as guys are,' Melcher said. 'That fact really hit me when I first walked into the main exhibition hall: Talk about a total sausage fest.' Though a distinct minority, some females were present at DragonCon. 'There was this one girl dressed up like Black Canary. She had the boots and the fishnet stockings and everything,' Melcher said. 'I couldn't really talk to her, though, because there was a pretty dense crowd of guys around her at all times.' Melcher's luck did not improve, even when he attended events more likely to draw females. 'Andy and I went to this Sailor Moon thing because we knew girls would be there,' Melcher said. 'Make no mistakewe do not like Sailor Moon. The animation totally sucks.' At the Sailor Moon symposium, Melcher finally spoke to a number of women in the target 18-to-30 age group. The women, however, were only interested in talking about Sailor Moon. 'This one girl asked me if I wrote fan fiction, and I said yes,' Melcher said. 'That worked pretty well until she started asking me which Sailor Scout was my favorite.' Subsequent efforts to meet women were similarly unsuccessful. Saturday evening, Melcher attended a special get-together in the Hyatt Regency's Colonel's Room. The event was populated with dozens of long-haired, middle-aged men and a handful of drunk, heavily made-up 15-year-old girls. The following night, Melcher attended a party he had heard about in an online chat room. Held in Hyatt Regency Suite 239, the party consisted of 20 people discussing comic books as They Might Be Giants' Lincoln blared on a boombox. 'It was an awesome party, but I was nervous about not knowing anyone, so I ended up drinking way too much,' Melcher said. 'I distinctly remember talking to this one girl who actually did inking on the last Batgirl seriesright before I puked off the balcony.' 'The next day, Andy had to drive the whole way home while I slept in the back seat,' Melcher said. 'Oh, well, I guess there's always DragonCon 2002.' 
3	US War In Afghanistan Silently Slips Into The AbyssBy Ulson Gunnar Washington Times in an article titled, Afghanistan failures rising, progress eroding 15 years after U.S. intervention, reports that: Opium production is up 43 percent in Afghanistan, the economy is struggling and the government has lost ground to insurgents over the last year, according to an inspector generals report released Sunday that shows ongoing failures overshadowing the few signs of hope. Indeed, every quarter, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, or SIGAR, submits a report to the US Congress regarding US activities in Afghanistan regarding reconstruction. In reality, it is not only an audit that provides insight into Americas ongoing, now 15-year-long military occupation of Afghanistan, but reveals the very nature of this so-called reconstruction process. It is one that ensures inevitably whatever regime sits in Kabul remains entirely dependent on the United States, on immense funding from abroad and amid a conflict that seems only to expand as US troops drawdown. It also depicts an immensely ineffective reconstruction process, riddled with corruption and unsustainable programs that is creating a nation according to US interests, with institutions built by and for Americas own endgame, not that of the Afghan populations future. It also reveals the role of organizations like USAID, depicted as rendering aid to foreign nations, while in reality overseeing an empire of corrupt contractors pursuing ineffective programs amid an unraveling nation. One of the benefits of destroying an entire nation is the opportunity to rebuild it precisely how the conqueror desires. SIGAR reports, including the most recent, provide valuable insight into this process. USAID spends billions in Afghanistan doing everything from allegedly building roads and hospitals, to economic programs to train Afghanistans workforce, to creating Afghanistans financial institutions. However, even the report itself reveals that despite the massive amount of money and the alleged scale of USAID and other agencies projects, corruption, violence, infighting and the ongoing battle for the nation between various factions has resulted in systemic dysfunction. Corruption is not just an aspect of Afghanistans current government and institutions, it also is revealed in the SIGAR report to be widespread across US and European contractors as well. The report highlights several cases that unfolded just over the reporting period of the October 2016 report: SIGAR initiated 13 new investigations and closed 28, bringing the total number of ongoing investigations to 254. SIGARs suspension and debarment program referred 46 individuals and one company for suspension or debarment based on evidence developed as part of investigations conducted by SIGAR in Afghanistan and the United States. It appears that development is simply a means of profiting for contractors, be they Afghan, American or European and goes far in explaining why poverty has actually increased, not diminished amid Americas reconstruction process. Additionally, the report reveals that the majority of foreign funding in Afghanistan is going into security forces, not actual economic or institutional development. And these security forces, the report reveals, are suffering increasingly under widening violence. Reading the SIGAR report will remind one of US rhetoric regarding South Vietnam as it desperately tried to stand up the exhausted, incompetent, corrupt and ultimately doomed regime after US attempts to search and destroy North Vietnamese forces ended in the incremental withdrawal of US forces from Southeast Asia. None of the policies being described in the SIGAR report have worked even with US forces providing for Afghanistans security, so why would one believe they will suddenly start working with US forces drawing down? The October 2016 report itself (PDF) admits that in 2016 alone, Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) suffered over 15,000 casualties with over 5,500 deaths. In other words, more ANDSF personnel have died in a single year than all US forces throughout the entire 2001-2016 occupation. ANDSF, even with brand new equipment provided by the US and its various contractors, are still inadequately armed compared to US and other NATO troops now withdrawing from the nation. For instance, while the US provided close air support (CAS) for its troops and Afghan forces with F-16s, A-10s and other jet aircraft, Afghanistans air force is being provided with a handful (perhaps two dozen) of propeller-driven Embraer A-29 Super Tucano airplanes. While the aircraft might be an effective system when combined with other modern day military assets, Afghan forces will struggle to employ the small number of aircraft with their limited capabilities across the entirety of Afghanistans territory. Like South Vietnamese forces during Americas withdrawal amid that war, the reduction of funding, support personnel and weapon deliveries when combined with an increase of nationwide violence will overwhelm the unsustainable and ill-equipped Afghan air force. The US failure in Afghanistan is not a matter of military impotence, but rather one of unsustainable strategic and political ambitions no amount of military might could ever fulfill. Like in Vietnam, the absence of practical objectives pursued in the best interests of those nations waging war in Afghanistan has led to the current, predictable impasse. The world was told that the US invaded and to this day occupies Afghanistan for the purpose of defeating Al Qaeda by rooting out the Taliban who supposedly harbored the former. In reality, the attacks on September 11, 2001 targeting the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington D.C. were carried out primarily by Saudis, with Al Qaeda itself being an organization funded, armed and provided both its geopolitical objectives and ideological underpinning by Persian Gulf states and their Western allies, as currently evident in Syria. Were Americas objective to truly uproot Al Qaeda, it would have invaded and occupied the Arabian Peninsula, not the mountains of Afghanistan. What the US is actually attempting to do in Afghanistan is pursue global hegemony, fighting the Taliban and other Afghan tribes whose source of military, political and financial power flows both within and beyond Afghanistans borders, including among political and economic circles the US is unable to reach. Thus the war in Afghanistan, just like its attempt to influence Vietnams geopolitical future, was ultimately doomed before the first shot was even fired. Likewise, for those who do still believe US troops are in Afghanistan to fight Al Qaeda, it must be remembered that Al Qaedas source of financial, military and political strength is not actually located within Afghanistan, but well beyond it in the Persian Gulf. Until the very heart of the hydra is pierced, the process of lopping off its heads only to be confronted with more will continue indefinitely. For military and civilian contractors, this process is an endless source of profits and power. For the soldiers involved, American, European or Afghan, it is an endless sacrifice of their blood and their respective peoples wealth and very future. Endless wars incapable of being won are the truest sign of poor leadership or intentional impropriety (or both). For those charged with defending their nation, their people, their wealth, resources and very future, ignoring this internal threat is by far worse than losing a battle or war abroad.

1	With the April 1 deadline for returning Census 2000 forms finally passed, the Bureau of the Census announced Monday that the U.S. population stands at 13,462. Population Per Square Mile (map) 'We at the Census Bureau are shocked by the incredible decrease in the population that apparently took place in the 10 years since the last Census in 1990,' Census Bureau director Kenneth Prewitt said. 'A 1999 projection estimated the U.S. population at 274 million and set the annual growth rate at .95 percent. Yet from this latest Census count, we find that this projection overestimates the population by a multiple of 20,000.' Despite the sharp population dip, some data remains consistent with previous censuses. New York remains the nation's largest city, with a population of 664. Los Angeles is a close second with 657, and Chicago a distant third with 329. Surprisingly, the nation's fourth largest city is now Elkhart, IN, with a population of 256. Some suspect that the rise is the result of a citywide 'Hey, Elkhart, Come To Your Census!' campaign. The most precipitous decline in urban population was in Houston, TX, formerly America's fourth largest city. In 1990, Houston boasted a population of 1,630,553. In 2000, it is 12. No one lives in St. Louis. As a result of the low Census count, hundreds of members of the House of Representatives are now departing Washington. Because the Constitution stipulates that the number of representatives is determined by each state's population, these representatives are finding themselves without the necessary constituents to justify their presence in congress. 'I greatly enjoyed my 20 years in the House,' said U.S. Rep. William Skene (R-ID). 'Sadly, only one person from my state, Hank, answered the Census, so I will have to tender my resignation.' Census Bureau director Kenneth Prewitt. Yet some changes could be beneficial. The nation's Social Security crisis has been solved, with the nation's 7,204 senior citizens dividing amongst themselves $416 billion in Social Security funds. 'Last week, I was turned away by the local V.A. hospital,' said Warren Costello, 88, a Medford, MA, WWII veteran and diabetes sufferer who doesn't have medical insurance. 'But now I can afford my very own jet-powered walker.' Similarly, if the Clinton Administration's education budget request passes, the per-child allotment will exceed $2.8 million. 'Gone are the days of 40 children to a classroom,' education advocate Marian Wright Edelman said. 'Today, the ratio is an estimated 40,000 classrooms to a child.' But despite such optimism, some observers are predicting that the low population count will have catastrophic effects on the national and global economy. Hank Logan, the population of Idaho. 'Our 13,462 residents will be extremely hard-pressed to match the estimated 1999 gross domestic product of $6.9 trillion, unless each of them works tens of thousands of industrial, agricultural, and service-sector jobs,' said Professor M. Russell Harte of Northwestern University's Kellogg School Of Business. 'Also, I predict that the importation of foreign goods will plummet by nearly 600,000 percent, and the previously burgeoning consumer economy will experience a violent collapse. And if you consider that most of the Census respondents were aged 65 years or older, it doesn't take long to come to the conclusion that we are doomed.' As experts in countless fields contemplate the potentially disastrous impact the Census results may have on American life, they all arrive at the same question: Why did the American population decline so sharply during the 1990s? 'Many theories have been offered, such as disease, or mass genocide by global thermonuclear war, or perhaps devastation from the killer-bee invasions that were predicted to occur sometime in the '90s,' Prewitt said. 'Many are even speculating that not everyone sent in their Census forms. But the cold, hard evidence is telling us that it will take us a long time to rebuild our population to 1990 levels. So commence breeding, America.' 
3	Another 9/11 Anniversary Is Upon UsZen Gardner linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	Upon learning that Thunder star Kevin Durant's favorite book is the Bible, Dale Lowell, 36, told reporters Friday that he was 'super disappointed' and said he would have to reassess his entire opinion of the Oklahoma City forward. 'It would really suck if he was one of these really outspoken religious guys,' a visibly deflated Lowell said after reading an ESPN The Magazine article in which Durant claimed he looked to the Bible before games for inspiration. 'But either he really believes all that stuff, or he just thinks that having the Bible be his favorite book is a safe answer, which is almost as bad. You watch him play and you just assume he's so much cooler than that.' Lowell added he was equally disappointed when he found out Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook's favorite book is To Kill A Mockingbird. 
1	I-95, NJBaltimore resident Gary Drake, 53, endured a six-hour bus ride from Baltimore to Atlantic City Tuesday, drawn by the prospect of feeding coins into a slot machine at a dimly lit casino. Drake and the bus he rode to Atlantic City. 'Man, my back is killing me,' Drake said, shifting in his window seat near the back of an eastbound Coastal Tours bus. 'Maybe I'm getting a little old for this. Well, just a few more hours, and I'll be sitting in front of the slots in a nice cool casino. When I get there, no one better be in my favorite spot, right next to the cashiers.' Drake boarded the bus at 2:30 p.m., expecting to arrive at the Oasis Casino at approximately 7. However, a semi truck carrying lumber jackknifed during rush hour, causing a substantial traffic slowdown. After lodging his coat between his lower back and his seat, Drake practiced for his night of recreational gambling on a handheld electronic poker machine. When the batteries on his machine died, Drake looked over the shoulder of the bus rider in front of him, who was playing a handheld electronic blackjack game. 'I got the casino figured out,' Drake said. 'If I don't win at a machine in the first 15 minutes, I know that slot is cold, so I move to another one. But if I do hit, I know that one's hot, so I'll sit there for eight, nine hours, until I need to get back to the bus again. Or until I run out of money. Oh, and I always use a warm coin.' The slot machines Drake will play generally have a payback rate of about 90 percent, meaning he has a 1-in-10 chance of breaking even if, on the off chance he does win, he stops gambling. Approximately three hours outside of Atlantic City, the air conditioning system on the bus stopped working. Although Drake was irritated by the climate change, as were the many toddlers on the bus, he remained focused on his journey's end. 'When I get there, I gotta warm up first,' Drake said. 'I've got a whole routine. First, I play the nickel slots, like that American Bandstand one. Once I got my mojo working, I move up to the quarter slots, or maybe even the dollar slots if I feel like I'm on fire. Never stay on the nickel slots, though. Those are for grannies. You're wasting your time on those.' 'Some guys like racing motorcycles,' he added. 'Me, I get that same thrill from watching the wheels go around on the slots.' When the bus pulled into a gas station outside of Wilmington, DE to pick up 11 waiting passengers, many riders disembarked to use the restrooms. At this time, Drake purchased nachos, a lemonade-flavored soda, and a hot dog with relish. Returning to the bus with 30 seconds to spare, he balanced the two grease-soaked plates on his knees and ate his meal. 'I wish they had women to bring you drinks on this bus, like they do at the casino,' Drake joked, lifting his soda from the garbage-covered bus floor and taking a sip. 'They don't make you pay nothing for them, and some of the younger women look real fine in those skirts.' Drake has taken the bus to Atlantic City at least 20 times, he told a man with a yellow-stained bandage over one eye. Various bus passengers survey the slots at the Oasis. 'One time, I won $800 at a slot machine with my last dollar,' Drake said. 'That must've been about 1988, 'cause I remember that my second wife Denise was with me.' Added Drake: 'I can't stand sitting around the house all the time. I love the nightlife.' The bus was scheduled to arrive in time for passengers to catch one of four performances by Sax Appeal, a keyboard-and-sax duo that plays the Oasis lounge every Tuesday night. About 45 miles from its destination, the bus pulled into a rest stop to admit six more people, including one on crutches who sat down next to Drake and promptly removed a paper-bag-covered bottle from her jacket. 'When I'm gambling, I always drink the hard stuff,' Drake told her. 'You have to get up too much when you drink beer. One time, I had to go to the bathroom, and when I came back, someone had won $15 at my machine. If I'm feeling lucky, I hate to rise from my stool until I have to get back on the bus in the morning.' With that statement, Drake climbed over his seat-mate's duffel bags, lurched to the back of the bus, and opened the bathroom door, releasing a pungent draft of chemicals and stale urine throughout the bus. Upon his return, Drake was in good spirits. 'Do you feel that?' he said, as the tangle of overpass highways and low-slung budget hotels on the outskirts of Atlantic City came into view. 'I get that feeling every time I see the lights. It's electric. In a few minutes, I'll be off this bus. After I walk the half-mile over to the Oasis, I'm gonna win big-time! Then those guys from the electric company can kiss my ass when I roll back into Baltimore and hand them my check.' 
2	Mother Of 11 Living On Welfare Announces Horrible Surprise According to recent reports, a Cheryl Prudham, a 32-year-old mother of 11 has just posted pictures on social media indicating that she may be expecting yet another child. The Prudham family welcomed twins just last fall, so if the picture speaks the truth, Cheryl may have gotten pregnant just one month after the new additions come along. Although Cheryl has children from several fathers, her five most recent come from her husband Rob. There could only have been about a month after she had the twins before she was pregnant again, a friend of the couples told reporters. I dont know if theyll ever stop. They just keep on having more and more. Prudham posted a picture of her 12-week-ultrasound with the caption Prudham baby # 12. After the picture gained media attention, she deleted the post and announced it was a joke. Lets hope it really was, considering that the Prudhams already receive a significant amount of government support to assist them with their high cost of living. The UK couple reportedly receives the equivalent of around $58,000 in benefits each year. What do you think of the Prudhams and the choice to continue growing their family? 
2	Trump Destroys ABC Host Travis Smileys Career After Smiley Nails Trump With A Cheap Shot ABC talk show host Travis Smiley just made enemies with the worst possible person on the planet: Donald Trump. In an effort to promote his book, The Covenant With Black America: Ten Years Later, he called Trump a religious and racial arsonist. This seems like a two pronged strategy, attempting to gain publicity through an attack on Trump. Trump swiftly responded on Twitter by saying, Why does @ThisWeekABC w/ @GStephanopoulos allow a hater racist like @tavissmiley to waste good airtime? @ABC can do much better than him! Smiley further clarified his point in an interview with Rosanna Scotto on Good Day New York, saying, How many African-Americans have interviewed Donald Trump? How many Hispanics have interviewed Donald Trump? How many Muslims have interviewed Donald Trump? Hes making himself accessible to the white, mainstream media. I would love to see you and Donald Trump sit down, Scotto said. Smiley quickly replied, Bring it on Donald! Where are you? Smiley is clearly in the wrong, and book promotion just backfired. It seems like the ball is in Trumps court. Things cant end well for Smiley. Do you think Donald Trump should take Smiley on in person? 
2	BREAKING: Obama Is Looking At Major Jail Time Because Of THIS President Obama has been facing accusations from Congress that his executive actions are illegal for some time now. Now, a watchdog group has reportedly found a way to stop the president before he has the chance to make another damaging unilateral decision. According to reports, Judicial Watch is calling on Congress to request the Government Accountability Office to look into unauthorized expenditures of federal funds, to determine whether they are in violation of the Antideficiency Act. Specially, they want to determine whether Congress has authorized or appropriated the funds needed for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration services to implement Obamas Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or Lawful Permanent Residents Program. According to the government watch group, if the funds have not been appropriated, they want to know to what extent of the funds being used were supposed to go to other measures. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton believes that the investigation will reveal that USCIS has already started spending funds without proper authority. This unauthorized spending may be a direct violation of the Antideficiency Act, which makes it a violation of law, with potential civil and criminal penalties, for government officials to spend monies that have not been appropriated by Congress, Fitton stated. The code prohibits any officer or employee of the federal government from spending a single dollar without proper authorization from Congress. Violation of the code carries criminal penalties. An officer or employee of the United States Government or of the District of Columbia government knowingly and willfully violating section 1341(a) or 1342 of this title shall be fined note more than $5,000, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both, the bill reads. That means that if the president was found guilty of a violation, he could be served both penalties. What do you think? Does Obama belong behind bars and not in the White House?

1	Claiming that the third-grader refuses to acknowledge anyone elses involvement in the situation, sources confirmed Monday that egocentric 8-year-old Dylan Fielder blames the divorce of his parents entirely on himself. Dylan is preoccupied with the extremely selfish notion that hes the sole influence on his parents marital problems, insisting that he could have acted better or done more to make them get along, as if hes the only thing that matters in this situation, said Fielders school guidance counselor, Sharon Thomas, adding that the boy is so narcissistic that he quickly dismissed the idea that financial and psychological factors played a role in his parents recent divorce and failed to even consider that the couples deep-seated communication issues could possibly be more important than he is. Ive tried to make it evident to Dylan that theres more to his parents fighting and separation than just him, but frankly, hes too self-absorbed to see anything else. Thomas told reporters that she would not be surprised if Dylan thinks his fathers decision to give full custody to his mother completely revolved around him too. 
2	Mexicans Want Rick Perry Thrown Out Of Office, But Their Plan Is Backfiring Throughout the border crisis, Texas Governor Rick Perry has demonstrated his fearless leadership skills, taking action to protect our country where the president has refused too. With amnesty as his end goal, the Obama has let a flood of illegal immigrants into the United States, placing an immense financial burden on our country and the shoulders of local communities. Rick Perry has not taken these actions quietly, and now it appears that he has actually offended the Mexican government. They recently released a statement calling the governor irresponsible for his actions when it comes to protecting the border. The Government of Mexico deeply rejects and condemns the deployment of troops from the Texas National Guard to the border, announce today by the office of the governor of that state, Ricky Perry, the statement read. Mexico underscores that it is irresponsible to manipulate border security for political reasons. We insist that the phenomenon of migration should be managed from a holistic and regional perspective through a medium term vision with shared responsibility which guarantees peace, inclusions and prosperity in the region, it continued.

2	Obama Hides His Birthday Party From The Public For Unbelievably Sickening Reason To earn the support of the American public, Barack Obama has positioned himself as a champion of the middle class. When he was still a member of the Senate, he made himself relatable with discussions of flying coach, drinking beer, watching sports and driving a Chrysler. While in the White House, his tastes have become increasingly lavish. The proof is in how he spent his most recent birthday. According to the New York Times account of Obamas 55th, the guest list looked suspiciously like the one percent. Its no surprise that he kept the event secret from the media and urged attendees to stay silent. Magic Johnson was just one of a number of stars who attended the function and ended up leaking the event. Grant Hill, Alonzo Morning, George Lucas, Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder were among the guests. Also present was the deplorable Reverend Al Sharpton. The truth of the matter is that Obama is far departed from the average American. Just look at how carelessly he spends our hard-earned tax dollars. 
1	After finishing a disappointing three shots behind winner Trevor Immelman at the Masters tournament, Tiger Woods denied he was frustrated at missing his chance for golf's Grand Slam, instead concentrating his anger on his recent purchase of a coat hanger for his anticipated green jacket. 'Look, it's made of aromatic cedar and has specially shaped 'wings' to spread the jacket's shoulders and help it hold its shape. And for what?' Woods asked onlookers while holding the heavy wooden haberdashery implement up for them to see. 'What am I supposed to hang on it now, one of my 10,000 red shirts? Christ.' Woods then attempted to break the hanger across his left knee, severely damaging the cartilage and necessitating surgery that will cause him to miss the Players Championship. 
2	Federal Judge Makes Ruling On Cancellation Of Redskins... The Washington Redskins were able to keep their team name after facing immense criticism from the liberal media and public. Now, a federal judge ruled today that the teams trademark registration will be cancelled. Although the ruling claims that the team can continue using the Redskins name, it will lose many of the protections guaranteed by a federally-registered trademark. The Redskins sued a group of five Native American activists last August after their trademark registration was voided. The group claimed that the name and logo of the football team are insensitive to Native Americans. Of course, the Redskins are pushing back against the ruling and are planning to file a series of appeals. In the meantime, the trademark registration will not be officially removed. I am surprised by the judges decision to prevent us from presenting our evidence in an open trial, team president Bruce Allen told reporters. We look forward to winning on appeal after a fair and impartial review of the case. We are convinced that we will win because the facts and the law are on the side of our franchise that has proudly used the name Redskins for more than 80 years. What do you think of the Redskins stand for their rights? Do you think that their name and logo are racist? 
1	Satan, The Father Of Lies, suffered a dispiriting blow Saturday, when potential sinner Jeffrey Kremer chose to forgo a soul-polluting trip to the Mohegan Sun Resort Casino, The Prince Of Darkness said Monday. 'I had hoped that the allure of the bright lights and the promise of instant wealth would tempt Kremer into the mortal sin of avarice,' a despondent Lucifer said. 'Alas, he told his friends that he felt like spending the day hanging out around the house, instead of joining them at the casino. Curses!' Satan said he hopes that Kremer will at least watch softcore pornography on cable before the week is over. 
1	Friends and family of unemployed construction worker Brian Roberts announced Tuesday that the 36-year-old's habitual and dangerous over-consumption of alcohol was starting to become slightly unmanageable. 'I understand having the compulsive need to drink nine cans of beer alone at night, but I'm beginning to think Brian should tone it down a bit,' brother Kevin Roberts said. 'I mean, there's nothing wrong with being a raging alcoholic on the weekends, and on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but being an out-of-control alcoholic every night? That's just not healthy.' According to drinking buddy Mike Turner, Roberts' alcohol abuse has ruined numerous relationships of late, as he has started drinking himself to death at home instead of coming out to drink himself to death with friends. 
1	Shortly after ending a two-year relationship with Jeff Garcia Monday, the Buccaneers front office notified its former quarterback that no NFL organization had in fact ever wanted or needed the 38-year-old. 'It was hard to see that look on his face, but he needed to learn that no teamnot even the Bearscould imagine a future with him,' said owner Malcolm Glazer. 'We were only stuck with Jeff for this long because nobody better was available.' Glazer, who said the decision to make a clean break came after consideration of Garcia's arm strength, height, freckles, and male pattern baldness, admitted the Buccaneers only pursued the quarterback to see if it made other free agents interested in the team. 
1	As part of the agency's decades-long tradition of initiation, rookie CIA director Leon Panetta was gagged, blindfolded, and placed inside a large storage container bound for the war-torn capital of Afghanistan Friday. 'You should have seen himhe was all, 'Guys, this isn't funny! Guys?'' outgoing director Michael Hayden said. 'I can't wait to see the satellite photos of his face after they make him eat six goldfish, spin him around, and subject him to the aggressive interrogation techniques of Jalaluddin Haqqani. Plus, we wrote 'I Hate Arabs' all over his face in permanent marker.' Although the 10 masked men who kidnapped Panetta from his Langley, VA office reportedly stripped him down before packing him into the cargo hold, sources said they did give him $10,000 cash and a 9 mm pistol. 
3	Whos Behind Asia-Pacifics Growing Tensions?By Tony Cartalucci In reality, for those who have studied history, this is a familiar rerun. Change the characters and place current events in the context of the early 1900s and we see the lead up to World War II and, more specifically, the events that set the stage for the fighting in the Pacific. Some may believe this is a rerun of when Japan was the sole aggressor in the region, expanding beyond its means before finally meeting its match. Predicated on this misconception, these same people would believe that China has now traded places with Imperial Japan, and is expanding recklessly at the expense of regional and global peace and stability. To make this clear, we must consider the words of a contemporary of the period before World War II and the words of warning he offered regarding the true nature of tensions at that time. He was United State Marine Corps General Smedley Butler, two-time recipient of the Medal of Honor, and a man who fought Americas wars on multiple continents throughout his entire adult life and part of his childhood he lied about his age to enlist in the Marine Corps early. In his seminal writing War is a Racket, he speaks specifically of tensions in the Asia-Pacific at the time and offered advice on how to avoid what would be a catastrophic war (emphasis added): At each session of Congress the question of further naval appropriations comes up. The swivel-chair admirals of Washington (and there are always a lot of them) are very adroit lobbyists. And they are smart. They dont shout that We need a lot of battleships to war on this nation or that nation. Oh no. First of all, they let it be known that America is menaced by a great naval power. Almost any day, these admirals will tell you, the great fleet of this supposed enemy will strike suddenly and annihilate 125,000,000 people. Just like that. Then they begin to cry for a larger navy. For what? To fight the enemy? Oh my, no. Oh, no. For defense purposes only. Then, incidentally, they announce maneuvers in the Pacific. For defense. Uh, huh. The Pacific is a great big ocean. We have a tremendous coastline on the Pacific. Will the maneuvers be off the coast, two or three hundred miles? Oh, no. The maneuvers will be two thousand, yes, perhaps even thirty-five hundred miles, off the coast. General Butler alludes to the fact that Americas posture in Asia-Pacific would inevitably provoke war. To answer why precisely the United States was conducting naval maneuvers off Japans shores before the outbreak of World War II, one must consider Americas openly imperialist Manifest Destiny which saw the seizure and occupation of islands across the Pacific, up to and including the Philippines which still to this day suffers the effects of constant US military, political, and economic meddling but at the time the island nation was literally occupied as a conquered territory by the US. The Pacific theater of World War II was then, not a battle between good and evil nor between democracy and empire it was a battle between two empires who sought to impose their will upon lands beyond their borders. One could argue though, that Japans actions may have been driven more by a need to counterbalance long-standing Western hegemony in the Pacific, rather than a desire to conquer the planet. While certainly the Japanese sought empire, much of what precipitated World War II was an attempt by the Japanese to push out Western imperialism that surrounded Japan and openly sought to eventually impose its rule upon Japan itself. China Today We can see something similar today in Asia Pacific. The stated goal of US foreign policy, particularly the Pivot to Asia is to reestablish American preeminence in the Pacific region, thousands of miles from American shores. There exists policy papers drafted from corporate-financier funded think tanks that openly call for the encirclement and isolation of China to thwart its rise as a regional economic and military power. This is not because the United States fears Chinese troops storming the beaches of California, but because they fear China challenging and displacing American influence where it shouldnt be in the first place. The term String of Pearls, taken from the 2006 Strategic Studies Institutes report String of Pearls: Meeting the Challenge of Chinas Rising Power across the Asian Littoral, refers to a string of geopolitically important ports, pipelines, and other installations China is building stretching from the Middle East and North Arfica (MENA), past Pakistan, India, and Myanmar, and all the way back to Chinas shores in the South China Sea. The SSI report openly lays out plans to disrupt Chinese interests along this string, a strategy in 2006 that would tangibly manifest itself beginning with the US-engineered Arab Spring in 2011which saw extremists eventually pushed Chinese interests out of the MENA region, to various conflicts today regarding destabilization in Myanmar and Pakistan, as well as island disputes in the South China Sea. In virtually every point along the string the SSI report covered, we now see concerted violence and political chaos whose source stems from US State Department-funded nongovernmental organizations and movements everywhere from the Middle East, to Baluchistan, Pakistan, to Myanmar, and of course to the governments of Japan and the Philippines, subservient to US interests since the end of the Second World War. The SSI report would conclude by stating the following carefully coded wording: The United States, through its diplomacy, economic policies, and military strategy has an unprecedented opportunity to shape and influence Chinas future direction. Overcoming the potential challenges posed by the String of Pearls and the successful integration of China as a responsible stakeholder in the international system are necessary for the future prosperity and security of states in the region and across the globe. Of course, by international system, SSI means that which Wall Street, Washington, London, and Brussels created, controls, and are the sole benefactors of. To ensure clarity on this point, an earlier paper written in 1997 by US policymaker Robert Kagan titled What China Knows That We Dont: The Case for a New Strategy of Containment, on the same subject of integrating China into the existing international order states (emphasis added): The present world order serves the needs of the United States and its allies, which constructed it. And it is poorly suited to the needs of a Chinese dictatorship trying to maintain power at home and increase its clout abroad. Chinese leaders chafe at the constraints on them and worry that they must change the rules of the international system before the international system changes them. New Tensions Same as the Old Tensions Its very clear then that tensions in Asia Pacific, amid which the US attempts to pose as an indispensable mediator of, are in fact the intentional, premeditated consequences of long-standing, well-documented US foreign policy. It is clear that a rising China was not the cause of the last World War, nor will it be the cause of the next. The cause is rather the same tiresome special interests which have driven all of the World Wars those centered in the West unable to accept regional influence and a multi-polar world, and those interests who will only settle for global hegemony. With the true perpetrators of rising tensions in the Pacific identified, and the consequences well-studied of when last these perpetrators stoked such tensions, those nations faced with the choice of playing proxies for Wall Street and Washington or readjusting and even profiting from the rise of China, have one last chance amid a closing window of opportunity to ensure history does not tragically repeat itself, yet again.

3	Hackers Take A Million Homes Offline in Attack: Internet, Telephone, TV OutageBy Mac Slavo A massive hack attack took nearly a million people offline, cutting them off in an Internet outage that proves how vulnerable our lives have really become. The motive for the disruption isnt clear, but the sheer power that now lies in a handful of vigilantes and manipulators is stunning. If hackers turn against you, your connection to the outside world can be dismantled in a matter of seconds, unless, of course, you have established back up, off grid communications. Via Yahoo! News: Around 900,000 routers across Germany were hit by the outage which started on Sunday, a company spokesman told DPA on Monday. The routers connect customers not only to the internet, but also to telephone and television services. The spokesman explained that the problem was not with the network itself, but rather with identifying routers upon dial-up. The company is now looking into evidence found by IT analysts that the connection problem may have been due to an outside attack rather than a normal system failure We have found the first indications that we were possibly victims of a hacker attack, a spokesman said. Massive outages are rare [but] Germany has been the target of repeated cyber attacks in recent years. Earlier stories have shown how hackers could cause power surges by remotely turning air conditioners and other smart appliances on-and-off repeatedly under the activity overloads the power grid either locally, or on a wider scale. Most new cars, outfitted with GPS and WiFi systems, can also be hacked, and the results could be fatal if a black hat operator were to target you. Basically, any device connected to the Internet can be weaponized. Stephen Kings Maximum Overdrive alternative reality has dawned, and already things are getting pretty weird. Hackers have been taking down the global infrastructure, but for whose agenda isnt clear. But this has happened many, many times before: WW3 Has Begun, And It Is Digital: New World Hackers Claim Cyber Attack That Took Down Major Sites Hackers Force Bank ATMs to Spew Cash: Grid Vulnerabilities System-wide Russian Strategic Bombers On West Coast: Did They Take Down Los Angeles Air Traffic Control Systems? Cyber Attack May Be To Blame For Deadly Amtrak Crash: Its Unclear Whether the Speed Was Increased Manually Compromised: Hackers Gain Access to 23 U.S. Spacecraft, Top Level User Accounts at NASA Jet Propulsion Labs Major Security Firms Detect New Trojan Capable Of Disrupting Power Plants, Oil Refineries and Other Critical Infrastructure Networks News sources have been quick to tie hacking activity to Russia, as if cyber warfare were confined to borders and nationalities. The information war has more sides than a dodecahedron. However, this adds fuel to the ideological fire that is creating a new enemy in Putin and a resurrected Cold War. A new national enemy will keep the restless and angry population distracted, and their anger and confusion can be redirected; dissent can be stifled under cover of patriotism and national security. Facebook and Google are doing most of the work anyway, using the meme of fake news to cull the weeds of free speech, and cultivate their bonsai tech democra-topia. Control exists today through the grid, and the operatives of the CIA, NSA and shadow government at large are pushing in the Internet of Things (IoT) as a means of using hyper-surveillance and monitoring to socially engineer human behavior in response, and in feedback to household appliances, energy prices and propaganda cues. Will it be total chaos, or total control? Both could result from the precarious dangle that we are doing over the invisible threads of the Internet.

2	Muslims Take Over THIS U.S. Town And Immediately Begin Implementing Sharia Law While President Obama claims that Islam is a peaceful religion and Sharia Law is not a threat to America, our worst fears are being realized. According to reports, Hamtramck, Michigan is the first city in America to officially house a majority Muslim population, electing Muslim men and women to be in the city and local government. Historically, the town has belonged to Polish immigrants, but that is not longer the case. Shortly after being elected, community organizer Ibrahim Algahim declared that the Muslim community would show the Polish and everybody else. Thats when they started implementing laws, like banning alcohol outside of mosques and other measures designed to facilitate the practice of Islam. The town has long been a melting pot of cultures due to shifting property values. Case in point: 27 languages are spoken in the towns schools. The Polish people think we were invading them, Masud Khan, leader of the towns Islamic Center, told reporters. What do you think? Could this be the first of many cases like this if Obama doesnt take action? 
2	Men Who Threw Pig Heads Into Mosque Learn Their Fate Four men were jailed last May when they threw a severed pigs head into the parking lot of a mosque. The event occurred in Lancashire, two days following the death of Lee Rigby. According to the mens Facebook messages, the crime was organized and was a prank meant to offend those who worship Islam. In total, the four men will now serve just over 3 years in jail. Police who investigated the crime looked into the Facebook of one of the men and found taunting messages such as, they [Muslims] will be fuming. According to reports, the four men plead guilty to religiously aggravated intentional harassment, alarm or distress when they threw the severed head of a pig into the mosque. Pigs and items relating to them are forbidden for Muslims to touch or have contact with, said the prosecuter. Its presence at a place of worship was highly insulting. Parents and children had started to arrive at the mosque. Some of them saw the head and felt offended and angry. What do you think? Do these four men deserve 3 years in jail for this crime? 
1	Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson, who was forced to leave last week's game in the second quarter after aggravating a groin injury, announced Wednesday that he will play Sunday's game against Pittsburgh without the aid of his groin. 'The team will need me against the Steelers, and I can't afford to let my groin hold me back, so the groin is staying on the bench for this one,' said Tomlinson, who made the decision against the recommendation of team doctors. 'I would have just bit it off on the sidelines last week, like Ronnie Lott did with his pinkie that one time, but [running back] Darren [Sproles] told me he had the situation under control, and he did. That's one I owe him.' Tomlinson's decision to play without a vital part of his anatomy is being compared to former Lions running back Barry Sanders' decision to play his entire career without his skeleton. 
3	Reefer madness grips bureaucratsRady Ananda Following the passage of permitted recreational marijuana use in both states last year, a flurry of local ordinances hit the books banning sales inside city limits, or putting a moratorium on allowing it. Over 100 Colorado cities have done this nine of the most populous ten in the state. In Washington, regulators are considering dismantling their medical marijuana regulations to enable taxing patients under the new recreational use tax scheme being devised. Thats not at all what voters intended, but accountants wont ignore the revenue that can be generated from dying people using a plant thats been around tens of millions of years longer than hominids. Not only has marijuana been shown to cut tumor growth in cancer patients, improve mood in depressives, reduce nausea and provide safe pain relief, its also believed to reduce cocaine cravings in addicts and acts as a neuroprotectant with therapeutic value in treating Alzheimers and psychosis. The British biotech firm GW Pharmaceuticals provides US cannabis patients with Sativex, and recently gained FDA approval to provide researchers with a cannabis concoction aimed at stopping seizures in epileptic children. The new formula, GWP42006 (to be marketed as Epidiolex), excludes all THC, the psychoactive cannabinoid favored by recreational users. Three different Investigational New Drug studies have been approved using GWs blend, but all must pass muster with the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), which has a history of blocking FDA-approved cannabis studies. After decades of denial, in April 2011, the FDA permitted a cannabis study aimed at post traumatic stress disorderin veterans, allowing for home use. That study was held up by NIDA, despite that over a third of all vets suffer from PTSD. While unelected bureaucrats drag their feet, medical marijuana supporters continue to organize. Recently, Mormon moms joined the fray to demand MMJ for epileptic kids. Across the big pond, Irelands lower House will vote on a bill in the next two weeks to decriminalize the herb and allow for cannabis pubs. Introduced by colorful politician, Luke Ming Flanagan, it is not expected to pass. Flanagan built his career on pushing for weed freedom, once mailing over 200 joints to Irish politicians. Documentaries have covered his antics, including The Life and Crimes of Citizen Ming. When elected to Irelands parliament in 2011, he kept his promise to donate half his $130,000 annual salary to civic projects. Marijuana is safer than alcohol, a cultural and medical reality that control freak rule-makers have yet to fully grasp. But with the US moving closer to full decriminalization, a more sane and evidenced-based policy is finally emerging. Recently From Rady Ananda: Rady Ananda is the creator of Food Freedom News and COTO Report, Rady Anandas work has appeared in several online and print publications, including four books.

1	Employing a silly voice and jocular manner to suggest a lack of serious intentions, Dennis Vukelich, 29, pretended to hit on a woman hed like to hit on for real Monday. Vukelich mock-pledges his love to Broussard. Ah, at last were alone, Vukelich, a due-diligence manager at C&H Accounting, jokingly told coworker Aimee Broussard in the office copier room. Ive waited for this moment all my life. Lets make beautiful music together, continued Vukelich, holding a stapler like a microphone and launching into a rendition of Barry Whites Cant Get Enough Of Your Love Babe while Broussard laughed. Dennis is so funny, said Broussard, who met Vukelich in February when she joined C&H Accounting as an administrative assistant. He cracks me up so much. Several weeks after meeting Broussard, Vukelich began pretending to pursue the 26-year-old blonde. Aimee is a really great girl, Vukelich told coworker Bill Pearce during a recent after-work get-together at Bennigans. Shell be a wonderful mother to our 10 children. Broussard, who was sitting within earshot at the time, playfully slapped at Vukelich, prompting him to pretend to pour his half-empty Corona over her head. Like Vukelich, Broussard is single, having recently ended a two-year relationship with her former live-in boyfriend. But despite Broussards eligibility, and Vukelichs frequent complaints about his lack of a girlfriend, Vukelich said he has no intentions of pursuing her. Aimee and I are just good friends, Vukelich said. Besides, she gets asked out by tons of really good-looking guys. She probably wouldnt be the least bit interested in me. Then again, we do have pretty undeniable chemistry. In addition to his blossoming friendship with Broussard, Vukelich has been cultivating his friendships with other coworkers of late. Though he had never before thrown a party at his apartment, Vukelich has hosted three coworker gatherings since Broussard joined the C&H Accounting team in February. This summer, he was also instrumental in organizing three weekend outings, one of which was canceled when Broussard was unable to attend. Aimee has really been a great addition to our gang at work, Vukelich said. Its good to have someone new around to motivate us to do things. Carl Gaston, a due-diligence senior at C&H, encouraged Vukelich to open himself up to the possibility of a relationship with Broussard. Dennis should just ask Aimee out already, coworker Carl Gaston said. Hes always joking about it, but he should just do it. Vukelich rebuffed Gastons suggestion. Oh, come on! Vukelich said. Maybe in the future something might develop. But for now, its not even a possibility. Unless she hit on me first so I knew she was interested. Attempting to explain why he and Broussard get along so well, Vukelich cited their common interests. Aimee comes from a small town, and so do I, so we can really relate on that level, Vukelich said. Theres other stuff, too, like TV shows we both watch, and restaurants and music we both like. Vukelich said he possesses other qualities that make him attractive to Broussard as a friend. I may not be the best-looking guy in the world, but in friendshipsand many relationships, too, actuallythat doesnt matter so much, Vukelich said. Women look for other things in a man, like a sense of humor and a kind, generous nature. And Aimee definitely knows I have those things. Now entering its 10th month, the friendship continues to grow. Last Friday, Vukelich invited Broussard to attend a Paul Simon concert with himthe first time he has asked her to do something outside of work as a pair. I had an extra ticket, so I figured, What the heck, Vukelich said. No reason to waste it, right? Unfortunately, Broussard had other plans the night of the event. Dennis was sweet to offer, but I lied and said my mom was in town, Broussard said. I just dont think I could handle him for a whole night alone. At work, with lots of other people around, hes great. But for us to go to a concert or something, just the two of us, thatd be kind of weird. 
1	Exploiting a legal technicality that allowed him to regain full ownership of the Cleveland Browns organization in death, former team owner Art Modell specified his wish to permanently dismantle the 66-year-old franchise in his last will and testament, family sources reported Tuesday. It is my dying wish that the Cleveland Browns football team and associated assets be liquidated and distributed amongst the benefactors listed herein, read part of the document, in which Modell also stripped the franchise of its right to the teams colors, which the Baltimore Ravens will adopt for their second alternate uniforms beginning next season. Furthermore, I hereby set aside funds in the amount of $50 million for the creation of a nonprofit foundation dedicated to ensuring that no professional football team moves to or is ever established in the city of Cleveland, from now until the end of time. At press time, sources confirmed Modell had bequeathed the Browns 1964 NFL championship to LeBron James and ordered the immediate demolition of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

3	Chilean Legislation Removes Mercury from VaccinesCatherine J Frompovich Thimerosal will be banned from all vaccines for the most vulnerable segments of the population (children 0-8 years of age, pregnant women, and adults over 60 years of age). Trace amounts of Thimerosal will be allowed (up to 1 microgram of mercury per dose) in vaccines for the rest of the population, with informed consent, as per current Law # 20.584, article 14. In case of emergencies or epidemic outbreaks, Thimerosal amounts higher than a trace may be allowed, but not simply because of a lack of stock, rather because there are no alternatives in the market without this compound, and always under a Presidential decree, keeping close attention to the strictest limits set forth by the regulatory agencies in the world, and, as always, with informed consent.

1	Refusing to let the dying theater space suffer any longer, compassionate Duluth civic leaders signed legislation Monday euthanizing the Crescent Street Playhouse, which had been fighting to raise awareness of itself throughout virtually all of its 14th year of existence. 'We did all we could,' said councilman Willard Hogue. 'But by the end, that poor theater was just a shell of its former self. It's never easy to look into the eyes of a repertory company and tell it the end is near, but when that moment came, even the cast of True West admitted it was sort of a relief.' 
1	Complaining that he must have tweaked it pretty good, Saudi executioner Khalid al-Faraj told reporters Thursday that he thinks he pulled something in his shoulder during yesterdays last 10 decapitations. Around the seventh or eighth beheading I came around kind of awkwardly on my windup and heard this loud pop, and I knew immediately that something wasnt right, said al-Faraj, adding that he attempted to ignore the dull pain spreading through his upper right arm and power through the rest of the executions, but he barely had enough strength left to make a clean slice on the final prisoner. When I got home I took a few Aleve and put some Icy Hot on it, but this morning when I woke up I couldnt even lift my arm and the pain had spread down to my elbow. I just hope the swelling goes down soon because Ive got a pretty big slate on Monday. Al-Faraj told reporters that, on the orders of his orthopedist, he would have to miss out on this weekends public stoning of a woman accused of adultery. 
1	Noting that its incoming class of high school freshmen is their most coddled to date, instructors at Chestnut Ridge Academy for the Arts told an education conference this week that its mission is to take bright, precocious boys and girls and transform them into insufferable young adults. Here at Chestnut Ridge, we are dedicated to providing artistically gifted young people with the resources they need to blossom into entitled, condescending men and women with an inflated sense of self-importance and accomplishment, Principal Madeleine Healey told conference attendees, noting that the school has already graduated thousands of budding young narcissists with zero sense of shame or perspective. Of course, many of our students are already immensely smug and self-satisfied when they arrive. But after years of only talking about themselves and receiving undeserved praise from everyone around them, theyll leave our doors more pompous and unbearable than we ever thought possible. Healey added that anyone skeptical about the merits of an arts education should examine the schools track record, as their alumni have gone on to have completely bullshit careers in the arts all over the world. 
2	Ted Cruz Makes Colossal Announcement That Will End Hillary Clintons Campaign IMMEDIATELY According to recent reports, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas has just announced that he will be a candidate in the 2016 presidential race. I believe in you. I believe in the power of millions of courageous conservatives rising up to reignite the promise of America, the candidate told the students of Liberty University. And that is why today, I am announcing that Im running for President of the United States. It is a time for truth. It is a time for liberty. It is a time to reclaim the Constitution on the United States. Cruz went on to describe his dream of restoring the promise of Americasomething he believes cannot happen in Washington only. It will only come as it has come at every other time of challenge in this countrywhen the American people stand together and say we will get back to the principles that have made this country great, Cruz noted. We will get back and restore that shining city on a hill that is the United States of America. Cruz also describe his desire to put in place efforts to eliminate Obamacare and end President Barack Obamas executive action on immigration. He also imagines the U.S. being a better friend to Israel than Obama has been. Its going to take a new generation of courageous conservatives to help make America great again, he concluded. And Im ready to stand with you to lead the fight. Cruzs announcement marks him as the first nationally known candidate for 2016. What do you think? Would you vote for Cruz? 
3	2012 US Elections - The People Have Spoken: No ConfidenceVoter turnout expected to be lower than 2008, US Presidents mandate ranges between 25-35%. Image: This infographic was assembled using information from CNNs Election 2012: Results, USA Todays This years voter turnout may fall short of 2008, and George Mason Universitys 2012 General Election Turnout Rates. The numbers may still change, but the difference will be negligible. In countries like Thailand, where violent mobs hold the nation hostage, representing a fraction of 1% of the population, it is claimed by the Western media that these are the people. Come election time, the Western-backed party claiming to run on peoples power, garnered the support of a measly 32% of all eligible voters. Likewise in Syria, where the people are rising up, in a nation of 20 million if even half rose up armed with only broom handles, the so-called revolution would have been over in a week.

3	Government Surveillance Of American Citizens Goes Far Beyond What You Are Being ToldMichael Snyder For those that do not know, the Fourth Amendment says the following: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Unfortunately, our leaders have totally abandoned the Constitution. They seem to believe that they have the right to look through our electronic communications any time they want and that we should not complain about it. As you will see below, workers at the NSA have even eavesdropped on very intimate conversations between soldiers serving in Iraq and their female loved ones back home. What kind of sick person would do such a thing? Sadly, the truth is that we have allowed ourselves to become a Big Brother society, and we are an utter disgrace to the millions of brave men and women who have died to defend our freedoms. There was an explosion of outrage on Thursday when the Guardian reported on a leaked document that shows that the Obama administration is collecting the phone records of millions of Verizon customers every single day So obviously the Obama administration sees nothing wrong with this at all. Will some of our other leaders step forward and condemn this blatant violation of the U.S. Constitution? Sadly, so far most of our politicians are rigorously defending the program. Just check out how some prominent members of Congress responded to this story Senator Dianne Feinstein: There is nothing new in this program. The fact of the matter is, that this was a routine three-month approval under seal that was leaked. Senator Lindsey Graham: If we didnt do it, wed be crazy. Senator Saxby Chambliss: This is nothing particularly new. This has been going on for seven years under the auspices of the (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) authority and every member of the United States Senate has been advised of this. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid: Everyone should just calm down and understand this isnt anything that is brand new. Its been going on for some seven years. And weve tried often to try to make it better, and well continue to do that. But the collection of phone call metadata is just the tip of the iceberg. The truth is that government surveillance of Americans citizens goes far beyond what you are being told. In fact,the Washington Post has just come out with an article about a highly classified program known as PRISM that involves the federal government tapping directly into the central servers of nine top Internet companies So what Internet companies are involved? Most of the names will be extremely familiar to you The capabilities of this system are apparently awesome. Fortunately, one career intelligence officer was so disgusted with how our privacy rights were being violated that he decided to leak information about PRISM to the Washington Post Another whistleblower, former NSA code breaker William Binney, has come forward with some astounding details about what is actually happening over at the NSA. The following is from a recentBusiness Insider article So exactly how much information are we talking about? Overall, Binney claims that the NSA has gathered approximately 20 trillion transactions involving U.S. citizens. And other NSA whistleblowers claim that the agency has the capability to do individualized searches, similar to Google, for particular electronic communications in real time through such criteria as target addresses, locations, countries and phone numbers, as well as watch-listed names, keywords, and phrases in email. But this is not supposed to be happening. The NSA is not supposed to be spying on U.S. citizens and it is a clear violation of the U.S. Constitution. But they are doing it. In fact, they are gathering so much information on all of us that they needed to build a brand new data storage center out in Utah. According toFox News, it will have the capability of storing 5 zettabytes of data Why do they need so much storage space? Well, after you start putting the pieces together, it becomes very clear. They are illegally spying on all of us, and the American people need to be told the truth. But of course there are always numbskulls out there that say things like this I dont have anything to hide so I dont care if they watch everything that I do. Really? If you think that way, perhaps you will change your mind after you read what some NSA employees have been doing. The following is from an article posted on theatlanticwire.com We live during a time when government agencies are massively abusing their powers. We have seen this recently with the IRS, the Justice Department and now with the NSA. But so far, most Americans dont seem too upset by all of this abuse of power. Most Americans are so apathetic that they seem content to let the government get away with almost anything. In the end, America will get the government that it deserves. If Americans do not stand up now and speak out, it will be a signal to the government that this kind of behavior is okay and we will see even more of it. So what do you think about all of the government corruption that has been exposed lately?

2	PHOTOS: Malia Obamas Secret Life Exposed Throughout the time that the Obamas have spent in office, Malia Obama has transformed from a child to a teenager who is reportedly on a wild steak. And while the Obamas have done everything they can to keep their daughters out of the media, the 16-year-old made headlines several times for her risqu Hollywood lifestyle. The high school student was first introduced to that world when she worked as an intern on the set of Halle Berrys TV show Extant. Malias duties ranged from grabbing coffee with the star to helping her on set. When she wasnt working, Malia was photographed out at Hollywood hotspotsobviously illegally, given her age. When paparazzi took and attempted to publish photos of the First Daughter, Michelle immediately banned them from doing so. Unfortunately, the First Ladys actions have made the American public even more suspicious of her daughters true behavior. Just months later, Malia was spotted in a crop top at the drug-fueled concert Lollapalooza. The reports were a bit shocking, given that most parents would not let their 16-year-olds attend such a drug and alcohol driven event. Reports have also surface that Malia engaged in a physical brawl with a fellow partygoer. Of course, the Obamas are clearly not helping the matter, rewarding her terrible behavior with a new car before she could even legally drive. What do you think? Are the Obamas as bad at parenting as they are at representing our country?

2	This Man Was Arrested For Defending His Home Against Armed Thugs Heres What Happened According to recent reports, a North Carolina man is facing serious charges after he used his gun to defend his home from armed robbers. 42-year-old Harold Williams was sitting in his home when two men in their mid-twenties, Roy Lee Hawk and Martize Douglas, broke into his home. The men were armed with guns, and began demanding all the money in the house. Fortunately, Williams was able to get to his own gun first. Almost instinctually, he shot both of the intruders. Hawk was left in critical condition while Douglas is still in serious condition. Now, it appears that Williams is facing some serious consequences for defending his home. He has been arrested and charged with gun possession. Police claim that Williams is a convicted felon, and is not supposed to own a gun. Hawk and Douglas have been charged only with breaking and entering, common law robbery, and conspiracy. What do you think? Would Williams have been in a lot more trouble if he hadnt had a firearm within reach? Do you support him defending his home? 
1	Sitting at the bedside of her ailing husband Roger, whom she first met at a school dance in 1951, local woman Jeanie Davison told reporters Wednesday that when the time comes for her beloved spouse of 60 years to pass on, she has no intention of letting him drag her into death at the same time. Roger and I have shared our entire lives together, but just because he dies doesnt mean I have to die too, right then and there, Davison, 79, said of the man she considers her best friend and other half. Ill be there to see him off to heaven when the time comes, and Ill meet him there eventually. But Ive got another five years at least. I know that someday well be together for all eternity, Davison added. Its not going to be 15 minutes after he passes on, though. I think thats a bit hasty. Davison said that while she is deeply saddened by the thought of life without her closest companion, she acknowledged that she was actually pretty capable of imagining how things would be without him, especially in two or three years when she has adjusted to her new routine. In addition to visiting friends more often and reading, Davison said she would definitely spend more time watching her grandkids grow up, enjoyable activities she is reluctant to sacrifice just so she can breathe her last breath at the very same moment her husband does. In fact, Davis confirmed that if she still feels as healthy as she does right now, she plans to make her first-ever visit to Redwood National Park once Roger dies, a trip she would be unable to take if she were lying in bed, looking over at her husbands now-empty rocking chair, and waiting to join him. Ill stay by his side until his very last second as a testament to our love, but after that, Im moving on with things, Davison told reporters, adding that dying together holding hands had genuinely never even occurred to her. When he says, See you soon, Ill smile and nod, but honestly, it wont be that soon. I feel great. As much as I love Roger, nows not the time. I sometimes ask myself if its even worth going on without him, Davison said. And the answers always, yes, I think it is, at least for a little whileprobably longer. 
2	Trump Does THIS After Megyn Kelly Is Selected To Moderate Next Republican Debate Fox News has selected the moderators for the next Republican Presidential Debate, which will be hosted in Iowa on January 28. The hosts selected are Megyn Kelly, Bret Baier, and Chris Wallace. This will be the final Republican debate, and it sure will be interesting The first debate was hosted by Fox News with the same hosts moderating. And we all know how that ended. Republican frontrunner Donald Trump annihilated Kelly for questioning him unfairly. Surprisingly, Fox News has chosen Kelly again to moderate, and Trump is not happy about it. He will either keep to his promise and destroy Kelly in the next debate, or not show up at all. Do you think Trump should get revenge on Kelly or not show up to the debate? 
2	Hillary Panics After Another Body Surfaces... Connecting Her And Bill To The Murder This week, a British tabloid claimed to be in possession of evidence that an MI6 spy found dead six years ago inside a carryall bag in his bathtub had just before his death obtained confidential information regarding former U.S. President Bill Clinton. Gareth Williams had obtained a guest list for an event Clinton was due to attend, and did so while working with the United States National Security Agency in a joint operation, the article asserted. The Clinton diary hack came at a time when Williams work with America was of the most sensitive nature, an undisclosed source told The Sun. It was a diplomatic nightmare for Sire John Sawyers, the new director of MI6 at the time. The tabloid paper also stated that voicemail messages Williams left for his friends and family members were deleted immediately afterward. His apartment was ransacked by someone who seemed intent on destroying evidence. It was also steam cleaned. The mysterious nature of the death has brewed conspiracy theories for some time now, but with this new information, many believe the Clintons were somehow involved. Perhaps the most bizarre thing about the case is that the Metropolitan Police ruled the death as an accident despite an initial investigation concluding it was unnatural and likely to have been criminally mediated. What do you think of this new revelation? 
2	Starbucks Just Insulted Christians Around The World In A Major Way According to recent reports, you can now get your Venti Starbucks coffee in the morning, served fresh with a side of second amendment protests and criticizes of Christianity. According to reports, company officials who support Biblical marriage were told to sell shares in Starbucks and buy shares in another company at an annual shareholders meeting in Seattle. The action has sparked a protest and petition on a site called DumpStarbucks.com. The petition reads as follows: We are urging customers across the globe to Dump Starbucks because it has taken a corporate-wide position that the definition of marriage between one man and one woman should be eliminated and that same-sex marriage should become equally normal. As such, Starbucks has deeply offended at least half its US customers, and the vast majority of its international customers. Starbucks is using its resources to invalidate traditional marriage in the US and redefine the institution of marriage despite the strongly held views of so many of its customers, including me. Therefore, I will no longer purchase anything from Starbucks until you change your corporate values to be more reflective of my own. What do you think? Will you continue to support Starbucks? 
2	Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Threatens To End The Muslim Brotherhood Forever According to new reports from The Times of Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet with world leaders to discuss possible actions that can be taken against the northern branch of the Islamic Movement. The Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic Movement has been growing and causing havoc throughout the country. The security establishment hasin recent days, on instruction from the prime ministerformulated a series of actions against the Islamic Movement and the incitement that is fomenting, Netanyahu told reporters. What do you think? Does Obama need to step up as a leader? Where is America in all of this? 
3	What Is Going To Happen If Interest Rates Continue To Rise Rapidly?Michael Snyder The higher interest rates go, the more economic activity will be squeezed. If interest rates continue to rise rapidly, it will be more expensive for the U.S. government to borrow money, it will be more expensive for state and local governments to borrow money, the housing market may crash again, consumer debt will become more expensive, junk bond investors will be in for a world of hurt, the stock market will experience a tremendous amount of pain and there is a good chance that we could see the 441 trillion dollar interest rate derivatives bubble implode. And that is just for starters. So yes, we all need to be carefully watching the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries. On Friday, it opened at 2.76% and hit a high of 2.86% before closing at 2.83%. The yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries is up nearly 120 basis points since the beginning of May, and almost everyone on Wall Street seems convinced that it is going to go much higher. We are truly moving into unprecedented territory, because we have been in a bull market for U.S. Treasuries for the last 30 years. Many investors dont even know that it is possible to lose money on U.S. Treasuries. They have been described as risk-free investments, but that is far from the truth. In fact, we could see bond investors of all types end up losing trillions of dollars before it is all said and done. And as I wrote about the other day, we have just witnessed the largest cluster of Hindenburg Omens that we have seen since before the last financial crisis. The stock market already seems ripe for a huge adjustment, and rising interest rates could give it a huge extra push in a negative direction. By the time it is all said and done, stock market investors could end up losing trillions of dollars in the next stock market crash. In addition, rising interest rates could easily precipitate another housing crash. Asthe Wall Street Journal discussed on Friday, as the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries goes up it will also cause mortgage rates to rise. Higher yields will push up long-term borrowing cost for U.S. consumers and businesses. Mortgage rates will rise, and investors are keeping a close eye on whether this may derail the recovery of the housing market, which has shown signs of turning a corner this year. In one of my previous articles, I included an example that shows just how powerful rising mortgage rates can be A year ago, the 30 year rate was sitting at 3.66 percent. The monthly payment on a 30 year, $300,000 mortgage at that rate would be $1374.07. If the 30 year rate rises to 8 percent, the monthly payment on a 30 year, $300,000 mortgage at that rate would be $2201.29. Does 8 percent sound crazy to you? It shouldnt. 8 percent was considered to be normal back in the year 2000. If you own a $300,000 house today, do you think it will be easier to sell it or harder to sell it if mortgage rates skyrocket? Yes, of course it will be much harder. In fact, there is a good chance that you will have to reduce your selling price significantly so that prospective buyers can afford the payments. Let us hope that the yield on 10 year U.S. Treasuries levels off for a while. If it says at this current level, the damage will probably not be too bad. But if it crosses the 3 percent mark and keeps soaring, things could get messy pretty quickly. In fact, according to a Bank of America Merrill Lynch investor survey, the 3.5 percent mark is when the collapse of the bond market is likely to become disorderly Our latest Credit Investor Survey, conducted July 8-11, showed that 3.5% on the 10-year is most commonly thought of as the trigger of a disorderly rotation i.e. higher interest rates leading to outflows and wider credit spreads among high grade investors. Put differently, 3.0% on the 10-year will not lead to overall wider credit spreads if there is enough buying interest from institutional investors (though note that the 10s/30s spread curve would flatten further, as mutual fund/ETF holdings are concentrated in the belly of the curve, whereas institutional demand is disproportional in the long end of the curve). However, if the probability of a further move higher in interest rates to 3.5% is high which will be the perception if interest rate volatility is high certain institutional investors will choose to remain on the sidelines. Thus there may not be enough institutional buying interest to mitigate retail fund outflows and contain overall high grade spread levels. So what is causing this? Well, there are a number of factors of course, but one very disturbing sign is that foreignersare selling off U.S. Treasuries at a pace that we have not seen since 2007 One of the biggest fears in the financial markets is that foreign investors will stop buying U.S. Treasury securities, causing borrowing rates to surge. Not that this is the beginning of a frightening trend, but new data from the Treasury Department shows that foreigners were net sellers in June. In fact, this is the largest net sale of U.S. securities since August 2007. Do you remember all of the warnings that we have received over the years about what would take place when foreign countries started dumping U.S. debt? Well, it looks like it may be starting to happen. Unfortunately, there is no way that the party that the U.S. government has been throwing can continue without foreigners buying our debt. We have added more than 11 trillion dollars to the national debt since the year 2000, and according to Boston University economist Laurence Kotlikoff we are facing unfunded liabilities in future years that are in excess of 200 trillion dollars. Even with foreigners continuing to loan us gigantic mountains of super cheap money, it would still takea doubling of our taxes to put us on a fiscally sustainable course Writing in the September issue of Finance and Development, a journal of the International Monetary Fund, Prof. Kotlikoff says the IMF itself has quietly confirmed that the U.S. is in terrible fiscal trouble far worse than the Washington-based lender of last resort has previously acknowledged. The U.S. fiscal gap is huge, the IMF asserted in a June report. Closing the fiscal gap requires a permanent annual fiscal adjustment equal to about 14 per cent of U.S. GDP. This sum is equal to all current U.S. federal taxes combined. The consequences of the IMFs fiscal fix, a doubling of federal taxes in perpetuity, would be appalling and possibly worse than appalling. Prof. Kotlikoff says: The IMF is saying that, to close this fiscal gap [by taxation] would require an immediate and permanent doubling of our personal income taxes, our corporate taxes and all other federal taxes. Americas fiscal gap is enormous so massive that closing it appears impossible without immediate and radical reforms to its health care, tax and Social Security systems as well as military and other discretionary spending cuts. Can you afford to pay twice as much in taxes to the federal government? Very few Americans could. But that is how serious the financial problems of the federal government are. And all of the above assumes that interest payments on U.S. government debt will remain at current levels. If the average rate of interest on U.S. government debt rises to just 6 percent, the U.S. government will be paying out a trillion dollars a year just in interest on the national debt. Also, all of the above assumes that we will have a healthy financial system that does not need to be bailed out again. But if rapidly rising interest rates cause the 441 trillion dollar interest rate derivatives bubble to implode, the bailout that the too big to fail banks will need will likely be far, far larger than last time. In fact, once that bubble bursts there probably will not be enough money in the entire world to fix it. If the picture that I have painted above sounds bleak, that is because it is bleak. Sometimes I get frustrated with myself because I dont feel I am communicating the tremendous danger that we are facing accurately enough. We are heading for the worst financial crisis in modern human history, and the debt-fueled prosperity that we are enjoying today is going to go away and it is never going to come back. You can dismiss that as doom and gloom and stick your head in the sand if you want, but that isnt going to help anything. Instead of ignoring reality you should be working hard to prepare your family for what is coming and warning others that they should be getting prepared too. When a hurricane is approaching landfall, you dont take your family out for a picnic at the beach. That would be foolish. Unfortunately, way too many Americans are acting as if nothing like the financial crisis of 2008 could ever possibly happen again. If you deceive yourself into thinking that all of this is going to have a happy ending somehow, you are going to get blindsided by the coming storm. But if you make preparations now, you might just be okay. There is hope in understanding what is happening and there is hope in getting prepared. So watch the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries. The higher it goes, the later in the game we are. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse.

2	Liberals Are Attacking Clint Eastwood For THIS Unbelievable Reason Clint Eastwood has been the center of controversy several times throughout his career. Now, the liberal media is accusing him of being a sexist. This is just one of many attacks coming from liberals following the release and success of American Sniper. Now, critics are revisiting his previous films, claiming they are both sexist and misogynistic. First and foremost, lets keep in mind that Eastwood did not write any of those moviesand he only directed one of them. In Dirty Harry, for example, Eastwood plays a sexist fascist police officer. That is his character, and should hold little weight as a measure of his real personality or beliefs. Imagine if we held liberal Hollywood to the roles they play in their movies? Are you sick of liberals being extremely hypocritical? 
3	10 Ways to Survive Skyrocketing Food PricesJeffrey Green Yet official statistics say Americans only spend about 11% of their post-tax income on food. I dont know about you, but food is my familys biggest monthly expense no matter what percentage of my income it is. I suspect that the same goes for most households reading this. The causes for higher prices are many: currency inflation, fuel costs, bad weather, commodity speculation, higher demand, etc. I refer to the causes only to illustrate that this trend is very likely to continue. Therefore, it is wise to manage this crucial household expense more closely. It may seem unusual to view food as an investment or your pantry as a savings account, but that is how you should treat it. The strange thing is, the health and quality aspect of food actuallyimproves when you think of food as money in the bank. This concept is proven in the list below. As mentioned earlier, food is my familys largest monthly expense even with us doing everything I recommend in this article. But weve managed to reduce our food bills significantly while simultaneously building up large reserves and getting healthier by using the techniques outlined here. Here are ten ways to survive skyrocketing food prices: Plan Your Meals: This is perhaps the most important item on this list. How many times have you gone crazy trying to figure out what to have for dinner only to relent and order pizza? Convenient fast food has become a crutch for busy people, but planning meals ahead of time actually makes life more convenient. Because you planned exactly what youre buying and what youre making and when, you save time and money. Pre-Cook Meals: Pre-cooking meals and snacks is another way to bring convenience to busy people and save money. For instance, double up your chili recipe with the intention of splitting it into multiple meals. Or cook several more chicken breasts than you need and use them throughout the week for other meals. When you make pizza, make enough dough for several and freeze them. Pre-making food for a few days or a full week means less work and more savings. Cook From Scratch:Cooking from scratch is a great way to save money on food, and it wont take much more elbow grease to make a cake from scratch than it does from a box mix. Making a big batch of refried beans from dried pinto beans is not that difficult. Learning to cook from scratch is as easy as Googling, and you can buy these foodstuffs in bulk for huge savings (more on that below). And, finally, its much healthier than processed, pre-packaged or fast food. Extreme Couponing: If my wife doesnt save over 50% on our entire grocery bill, she considers the trip a failure. We are extreme couponers, which means we clip coupons and thoroughly study the store circulars before making our shopping list. We buy our favorite items in bulk when they go on sale so we not only save A LOT of money, we also always have a surplus of those items. With food prices always going up, that surplus (bought at half-price) is better than money in the bank. Hunting and Fishing: Meat from wild game tends to be much healthier than concentration-camp cattle or chicken, and its nearly free. Its is not for everyone but if youre a meat-eater, hunting and fishing season provides a way to fill your freezer with quality meats for very little money. Buy Staples in Bulk: If youre not a professional shopper like my wife and dont have the time to cut coupons, your next best bet is taking a monthly trip to warehouse stores like Costco. Canned items are often cheaper in bulk there than on sale at supermarkets. Plan your trips wisely. Another great option is buying grain right from the mill. You can buy bulk heritage wheat flour, organic rice, non-gmo corn meal at mills like Anson Millsor Pleasant Hill Grain. Manage Your Pantry:Notice how some of these tips lead into other tips? Managing the inventory in your pantry (food bank) is crucial to maximizing your budget. Have a rotation method that keeps things fresh and alerts you to when certain items need replenishing. Managing your pantry helps you plan meals, cook from scratch, identify sales, and buy in bulk. They all reinforce each other. Learn to Preserve: Growing and preserving your own tomato sauce alone will save hundreds of dollars per year. Same goes for pickles, sauerkraut, jams, apple sauce, meat jerky, dried fruits and veggies, etc. If you cant grow them yourself, buying the raw foods in bulk and then preserve them is still cheaper than factory brands. Many orchards offer cheap pick-your-own options in season. Load up and preserve. Store Emergency Food: Last but not least, everyone should have a stockpile of storable food. Thankfully, there are now some great healthy emergency foods that last 20 years. The way food prices are going, these may be one of the best investments any family can make. Not only is it an excellent measurable investment, storable food also is instantly usable insurance against disasters. At the very least, every household should have a 3-day emergency food supply. Food should be a bigger part of our financial planning. Your large monthly expense for food is only expected to grow larger without action on your part. Use the techniques above and your health and bank account will profit. Recently from Jeffrey Green: 
1	Titans quarterback Kerry Collins told reporters Sunday that his 9-0 record as a starter this season was largely due to drinking heavily before games in order to clarify his field vision, increase his arm strength by an estimated 50 percent, and give himself the courage to make throws he would not attempt while sober. 'A couple shots of confidence before I go out on the field and I'm not afraid to do anything,' said Collins, swaying back and forth slightly as he outlined his pregame routine. 'When you look up and there's 16 guys in the box, you know you have to get rid of the ball right away. And if I hold on to the ball too long and I get hit, you don't, I don't feel, don't feel shit. Plus, the team. Lets me team leader. Leader-leader-leader...ship!' When asked how he orchestrated the Titan's comeback against the Jaguars, Collins claimed he blacked out during the second half and only remembers trying to belch the alphabet backwards. 
3	Rage Against the System: Why It MattersStephen Lendman Democracys more illusion than real. People get the best kind money can buy. Manipulated elections control things. Systemic rule is hardline. Progressive change is verboten. Monied interests have final say. Corporate giants rule the world. Exploiting nations, markets and people for profit matters most. Governments conspire with business to facilitate it. Popular needs more than ever go begging. People increasingly are on their own to sink or swim. Wealth, power, and privilege are hugely disproportionate. Wars on humanity rage. Freedoms on the chopping block for elimination. Rule of law principles dont matter. Might makes right. Police state tactics assure it. Theyre vicious. Things go from bad to worse. Humanity and planet earth are up for grabs. Independent thought is verboten. Controlling the message is prioritized. Most nations arent fit places to live in. Hardline governments keep things that way. Popular uprisings reflect discontent too intense to contain. Public anger rages against systemic injustice. Its exploitive. Its predatory. Its uncaring. Its merciless. Its untenable. Immanuel Wallerstein envisions disruptive change. Its happening in real time. Its coming incrementally. Something different lies ahead. It could be better or worse. How things play out matter. Future prospects depend on it. Rage against the system is needed. People power works. Change comes bottom up. Breaking free isnt easy. Sustained commitment is needed. Struggles are long term. Triumphs depend on keeping them. Waned energy is self-defeating. Powerful forces want things that way. Media scoundrels march in lockstep. They support entrenched interests. They aid and abet state crimes. They support corporate exploitation. They turn truth on its head. They substitute fiction for fact. They manipulate people to back what demands condemnation. They glorify wars in the name of peace. They believe human and civil rights dont matter. Theyre suppressed for our own good, they say. They champion might over right. They endorse neoliberal harshness. Its polar opposite fairness, equity and justice. A 19th-century proverb is ignored at our own peril, saying: Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money. Egypts uprising is ground zero. It reflects the heart of todays storm. Dont expect media scoundrels to explain. Tragedys unfolding in real time. Generals unseated a sitting government. Coup detat authority rules. A coup is a coup is a coup. Its illegitimate. New York Times articles, commentaries and editorials dont explain. They endorse neoliberal harshness. They support technocratic rule. They call Beblawis prime ministerial appointment a signal that the military-led transitional government intends to move forward with economic reforms and restructuring including reductions in the countrys vast public subsidies. They ignore greater harm coming. Theyre mindless of extreme public pain. Theyre dismissive of coup detat authority. A July 10 editorial never once mentioned the word. Its fundamental. It explains illegitimate rule. Times editors fear potential civil war. Egypts military treads on thin ice. Its transition plan leaves much to be desired. Theres much to be alarmed about, they said. Experts say it repeats many mistakes of the last transition. Ousting a sitting government matters most. Doing so puts a lie to democratic rule. Times editors dont explain. Egypt needs to move from military control to an elected civilian government, they said. Egyptians chose one. Now its gone. Morsi and other Freedom and Justice Party officials are under house arrest. Junta power rules. Democracys a convenient fiction. Nothing ahead suggests positive change. Times editors ignored whats most important. So did columnist Thomas Friedman. His writing reflects some of the worst hack journalism. It won him three Pulitzer Prizes. His books are best-sellers. Hes featured on corporate TV. He supports imperial aggression. Hes no big thinker. Hes disingenuous. Hes shallow and it shows. Journalism Professor Robert Jensen explained. He tells Americas privileged class what it wants to hear, he said. He does it with pithy-though-empty anecdotes, padded with glib turns and phrases. Hes the perfect oracle for a management-focused, advertising-saturated, dumbed-down, imperial culture that doesnt want to come to terms with the systemic and structural reasons for its decline. He avoids speaking truth to power. He ducks afflicting the comfortable. He never goes very far beyond parroting the powerful and comforting the comfortable. Many others like him do the same thing. They show up often on Times pages. On July 9, Friedman headlined Egypt at the Edge, saying: Avoiding civil war is still possible. He left unexplained why perhaps its likely. He ignored longstanding grievances. He never once mentioned the word coup. He focused on Ramadans holy month instead, saying: One can only hope that the traditional time for getting family and friends together will provide a moment for all the actors in Egypt to reflect on how badly theyve behaved all sides and opt for the only sensible pathway forward: national reconciliation. In the wake of violent turmoil, it is no longer who rules Egypt that it is at stake. It is Egypt that is at stake. This is an existential crisis. Friedman and others like him avoid explaining whats most important. Democracy in Egypts a four-letter word. Its a convenient fiction. Junta power rules. Generals make policy. Politicians serve at their pleasure. America has final say. Egypts capital isnt Cairo. Its Washington. Its been that way for decades. People power didnt oust Mubarak. Strings were pulled in America. Morsis fate was similar. Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya is right. Longstanding grievances are real. Conditions now perhaps are worse than ever. Ousting Morsi was strategic. At issue is pre-empt(ing) a popular revolution from taking place. In 2011, removing Mubarak changed nothing. Things went from bad to worse. This time wont be different. Appointed Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi explained. So-called economic reforms assure greater public pain. Popular concerns will remain unaddressed. We must create a clear understanding for the public that the level of subsidies in Egypt is unsustainable, and the situation is critical, said Beblawi. Subsidies have exceeded reasonable limits, and take more than 25 percent of the budget. People must understand that they must accept some of the consequences: the canceling of subsidies requires sacrifices from the public and therefore necessitates their acceptance. Widespread poverty, unemployment, and extreme deprivation turned Egypt into a tinder box. Doing so makes popular revolution possible. Illegitimately changing of the guard aggravates things. At best, it may delay one. It wont prevent it. According to Friedman, there is only one way for Egypt to avoid the abyss: the military, the only authority in Egypt today, has to make clear that (ousting) the Muslim Brotherhood (reflects) reset. Its for the purpose of starting over and getting the transition to democracy right this time. (T)he job of Egypts friends now is not to cut off aid and censure, but to help it gradually but steadily find that moderate path. Jensens right about Friedman. He tells Americas privileged class what it wants to hear. He avoids painful truths. Hes well-paid to do so. Readers are best served by avoiding him. Conditions in Egypt remain tense. Extreme violence could erupt any time. Public anger isnt assuaged. Growing numbers of Egyptians deplore America. They do so for good reason. One protester perhaps spoke for others. He has a problem with American politics that tries to interfere with the way we want to live and that is not right, he said. Proliferating anti-Obama posters are visible. Anti-American sentiment is strong. According to Pew Research, 80% of Egyptians expressed negative attitudes toward Washington. Just 16% are positive. About 75% deplore Obama. Visceral disapproval reflects his handling of foreign affairs. Regional sentiment is similar. America and Israel are widely despised. Ousting Morsi intensifies negativity. Expect nothing positive ahead to change things. Belt-tightening assures greater public rage. Popular revolution may follow. It may transcend borders for vitally needed change.

2	Trey Gowdy Completely Annihilates Obamas Syrian Refugee Plan In Court The Obama Admin met in court with Trey Gowdy to discuss the San Bernardino mass shooting. He immediately directed blame at Obama and tore into the vetting process. Trey Gowdy rejected arguments from the Obama administration that claimed they didnt miss any warning signs in approving San Bernardino shooter Tashfeen Malik to obtain a visa. Gowdy relayed his concerns during a Dec. 17 oversight hearing on the U.S. visa system. That doesnt make me feel any better, Gowdy said, after hearing comments from administration officials. There was nothing in her background that this administration says we missed and yet theres still 14 dead people. Gowdy claimed that the vetting process clearly does not work. And if the Obama admin passed these two terrorists through the vetting process, whats to stop them from bring more in through the Syrian Refugee program? Even the FBI admitted that they would not be able to effectively vet each and every Syrian refugee that entered the U.S. Obamas plan is as good as toast. Do you think we should deny entrance to all Syrian Refugees? 
2	Liberals Blame Guns For Dead Police Officer In Planned Parenthood Shootout Earlier today there was a shootout between a lone man and the Colorado police. One police officer did not make it out alive. Four others 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? 
1	Calling the video stomach-turning and deeply upsetting, members of the Chicago Bulls front office were visibly sickened Wednesday after seeing replays of Derrick Rose getting drafted. Its hard to watchyou never want to see something like that happen, said Chicago general manager Gar Forman, grimacing in clear discomfort as he viewed various angles of Rose walking onto the 2008 NBA Draft stage, putting on a Chicago Bulls hat, and shaking hands with David Stern. Ive seen it a few times now, and it still makes me cringe. I suppose its all part of the game, but God, its just awful. Forman later told reporters that he at least takes some solace in knowing that the situation could have been far worse, pointing to the utterly disturbing footage of Michael Beasley being selected as the second overall pick. 
2	What Obama Said About ISIS Before The Paris Attacks Will Make Your Blood Boil If this doesnt make you angry, I dont know what will. During a recent appearance on Good Morning America, President Obama once again decided to downplay the threat of ISIS. I dont think theyre gaining strength, Obama responded to an interviewer. What is true is that from the start, our goal has been first to contain and we have contained them. They have not gained ground in Iraq, and in Syria theyll come in, theyll leave, but you dont see this systemic march by ISIL across the terrain. Leave it to Obama to claim he is doing his job, while he continues to do nothing. At least he admitted some fault. What we have not yet been able to do is completely decapitate their command and control structures, he continued. Weve made some progress in trying to reduce the flow of foreign fighters and part of our goal has been to recruit more effective Sunni partners in Iraq to really go on offense rather than simply engage in defense. What do you think? Do we need a REAL leader as our Commander in Chief? Someone who recognizes a true threat when he sees one? 
3	Its Official: Liberals and Conservatives Becoming ZombiesBrandon Turbeville As every other failed presidential campaign in history has done, the Romney camp will soon come to grips with their loss. The Obama camp, however, will now be presented with four more years of a President who has been and will continue to be identical to the President they claimed to have hated for so many years. As Obama continues to execute, for another four years, the very same policies implemented by Bush (and by Romney had he been elected), individuals who call themselves liberals or progressives will be faced with the challenge of defending what they perceive to be their candidate irrespective of reality, facts, and common sense. Like the first four years, self-proclaimed progressives will continue to support the wholesale slaughter of innocent people in foreign countries, indefinite detention, banker bailouts, free trade, and a gross violation of civil liberties and Constitutional rights. While these very acts were once what liberals claimed was fueling their hatred of George W. Bush, it turns out that what passes for a progressive in 2012 is a rejection of war and totalitarianism directed by Republicans not war and totalitarianism itself. Indeed, when asking your average Obama fan their reason for such irrational support, one can scarcely receive an answer that does not have its root in false and divisive social paradigms such as his party, his race, or his age. Simply put, Obama supporters main reason for their allegiance to Barack Obama can be boiled down to two words Hes Obama! Nevertheless, with Obamas re-election there now appears a small shred of potential silver lining to this dark cloud. Namely, it will eliminate the argument posed by so-called Progressives for the last four years that Obama did not have equal time to right the wrongs of Bush or that he was not given a fair shot at the Presidency which now consists of, according to party hacks, an eight-year reign. At the end of the Obama regime, it will be apparent to every Democrat that their candidate was every bit as bad as the one belonging to the other team. There will be no more excuses echoed from the chambers of the Obama supporters that do not highlight an already delusional perspective and unwillingness to face reality. In 2016, like Bush supporters in 2008, the defense of Obama will appear more and more to be a mental illness than a political opinion. Unfortunately, one does not have to go much further for this to be the case. This statement is not meant to pick on Obama supporters alone of course. In fact, Republicans and so-called Conservatives showed their own true colors this election by flocking to a full representation of the candidate they claim they are so opposed to. The differences between Romney and Obama, besides ethnicity and political party, were virtually non-existent. Indeed, those differences that did appear to exist were merely propaganda pieces for public presentation. Republicans, by no means, have a leg to stand on when it comes to the issues mentioned above, be it economics, war, civil liberties, or any other issue for that matter. Regardless, it is a fact that Liberals and Progressives, once the majority of the anti-war, 9/11 Truth, and freedom movements, simply dissipated with the election of Obama. What is worse, however, is that they never reappeared after Obama proved that, as President, he would not only be as bad as Bush, he would be worse. While rumblings amongst true Liberals of Obamas treachery are indeed beginning to take place, the fact is they have remained dormant for far too long. In truth, it is a shame that they were ever silent to begin with. Thus, with Obama firmly locked in to another four years and with no possibility of his own re-election in 2016, Progressives are now given an opportunity to return to the principles they have neglected for the last four years. With no possibility of costing Obama the election, you can now be free to oppose the killing of innocent men, women, and children. With your team squarely in office, you can now meekly ask for your right to privacy, to a trial, and even to life without worrying about your chosen party losing the White House. As Obama takes over in his second term, you can now acknowledge the worldwide economic depression and perhaps take some steps to avoid a total collapse and return to real American standards of living without the fear of reflecting poorly upon your President. A four-year vacation from your principles was long enough. Now, however, your country and the rest of the world needs you to return to the fight. Both Conservatives and Liberals are equally responsible for the moral, intellectual, and rapidly physical wasteland we now find ourselves inhabiting. Because both groups are divided only because they have been subjected ad infinitum to scientific propaganda in order to make such an environment possible, it is high time they both become responsible for repairing it.

2	Political Warrior Trey Gowdy Just Put All His Chips On The Table In His Bravest Stand Against Hillary Over the past few weeks, Donald Trump has called out the media for rigging the election. Now, Congressman Trey Gowdy is also criticizing the corrupt media for helping Hillary Clinton get away with her many crimes. Do you know why we were the last flag flying in Benghazi? Gowdy asked. Do you know why requests for additional security were denied? Do you know why an ambassador asking for more security days and weeks before he was murdered, and those requests went unheeded? Do you know the origin of this mythology that it was spawned as a spontaneous reaction to a video? he continued. Do you know where that started? In conclusion, Congress is supposed to provide oversight, Gowdy argued. The voters are supposed to provide oversight. And you (the media) are supposed to provide oversight. Thats why you have special liberties, and thats why you have special protections. Gowdy then addressed the fact that both President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have shot down these claims. I am not surprised that the President of the United States called this a phony scandal. Im not surprised Secretary Clinton asked, What difference does it make? Gowdy concluded. Im not even surprised that J. Comey said that Benghazi happened a long time ago. Im just surprised at how many people bought it. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you applaud Gowdy for refusing to back down? 
2	Voting Results Are In And The Winner Is Clear The nation is anxiously awaiting the results of todays election. Even though were still waiting on the final count, we do know that about half of all active registered voters in Florida have already voted. A local Orlando news source is reporting that the state Division of Elections released numbers on Monday stating 6.42 million voters have either voted early or by mail. There are 12.9 million active registered voters in the state. Early voting wrapped up over the weekend, but election supervisors can continue to accept mailed in ballots. Early counts show Democrats having an 87,000 point lead over Republicans in the state. 2.55 liberals have voted early, compared to 2.47 million conservatives. In the crucial state, over 1.23 million independents have also voted. What do you think of these results? 
1	In what is being called the worst development to hit the Asian pop star industry in years, the floundering economy forced several Pacific Rim nations to lay off some 700,000 pop stars this week, sources close to the young, perky entertainers reported. 'Although we still have more than 2 million pop stars left working, this is a devastating blow,' entertainment industry analyst Bak Jae-bok said. 'Sadly, the space-age Korean teenybopper and Japanese cowboy sectors were hit the hardest, and may take many months to recover.' Bak went on to say that several Asian entertainment corporations are now looking to outsource their red-haired, leather-jacket-wearing teenage boy workforce overseas. 
1	Stressing that it is a very complicated socioeconomic issue, Spurs power forward Tim Duncan reportedly urged teammates Thursday to come to him with any questions or concerns they may have about the automatic federal spending cuts enacted by the ongoing government sequester. You might not think it affects you guys, but San Antonios transportation infrastructure has already taken a hit due to forced staffing cuts, not to mention the potential $67 million loss of education funding, said the three-time NBA Finals MVP, who recently sent the team a mass e-mail with a comprehensive breakdown of the $85 billion in cuts at both the federal and statewide level. Ill be around after practice, and if anything comes up later or youd prefer to talk one-on-one, feel free to call me at home. I also have some additional literature on the subject, including Bob Woodwards controversial The Price Of Politics, if youre interested in reading up on sequestration yourself.

1	Cautioning citizens to be on high alert and remain indoors until the area was determined to be safe, authorities confirmed Thursday that the United States is still an active shooter situation. The violent situation in this nation is still developing, so it is absolutely essential that the American population lock their doors and stay away from windows until all threats have been neutralized, said FBI director James Comey, who urged those within the countrys borders to turn off all lights and take cover while the shooting rampage taking place across the nation is still underway. Right now, this 3.8-million-square-mile area is still very dangerous. We are working to ascertain how many suspects there are and secure the location, but at this point, we cant say exactly when that might be. We will continue to update American citizens regularly as we learn more. Comey added that individuals who live or work within the country should check in with their loved ones to let them know theyre safe.

3	Pastor Sentenced To 2 Years In Prison For Teaching That Parents Should Spank Their Children If They MisbehaveMichael Snyder, Contributor Sadly, that is exactly what happened to one pastor up in Wisconsin recently. A minister named Philip Caminiti was sentenced to 2 years in prison for simply teaching that parents should spank their children when they misbehave. Please note that Caminiti was not accused of spanking anyone or of physically hurting anyone. He was put in prison simply for his speech. He was put in prison simply for what he was teaching others to do. Whether you agree with spanking your children or not, this should be incredibly sobering for all of us. Increasingly, speech is being penalized in the United States. Much of the time, the focus of the attacks by the forces of political correctness is on religious speech. If this trend continues, many of you who are reading this article might be put in jail for the things that you say in the coming years. When many of us were growing up, once in a while our parents would take out a belt or a wooden paddle and give us a paddling on the behind when we did something wrong. Was there anything wrong with that? Of course not. I know that when I got a licking on the behind as a child that helped me to remember not to do the same thing again. But Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi was absolutely horrified that some parents would actually use a wooden spoon to spank their little children when they misbehaved. Perhaps that judge should actually try to spank someone with a wooden spoon some time. You simply cannot do much damage with a wooden spoon. Instead of going after the parents who were doing the spanking, prosecutors chose to go after the pastor instead. They claimed that Caminiti was the spoke in the wheel of this conspiracy. Even after Caminiti leaves prison, he will be forbidden from having any contact with his old church. Caminiti will be on extended supervision for six years after his release from prison. Despite objections on constitutional grounds by Caminitis lawyers, Sumi ordered that he not have any contact with the Aleitheia Bible Church and have no leadership role in any church. What in the world is happening to this country? Criminal predators are literally eating the faces off of people, and yet authorities want to go after pastors who are encouraging their congregations to follow the teachings of the Bible? Have we stepped into a really bizarre episode of The Twilight Zone? Sadly, this is not the only example of how our free speech is under attack these days. Up in New York, a new bill was recently introduced that would outlaw all mean-spirited and baseless political attacks. I think that would cover a whole lot of people that leave comments on my blog. The following is how a recent article by Kurt Nimmo described what this new law would require. New York state government is attempting to pass the measure in both the Senate and the Assembly. The legislation has been referred to the Codes Committee in the Senate, and the Government Operations Committee in the Assembly. Both proposals are identical and would affect messages posted on message boards, blogs, social networks, and any other discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages. The law would require websites to post email addresses for removal requests, clearly visible in any sections where comments are posted. Those demanding the removal of content they find objectionable, however, would have their anonymity protected. Had the internet been around in the late 1700s, perhaps the anonymously written Federalist Papers would have to be taken down unless Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay revealed themselves, notes David Kravets, writing for Wired. Will we soon see laws such as this nationwide? Will all blogs and websites soon be at the mercy of the politically correct police? Up in Buffalo, New York it is apparently now against the law to hand out Christian tracts on a public sidewalk. At least that is what one man was told recently when he attempted to hand out tracts outside of an Italian heritage festival. The following is from a recent WorldNetDaily article. While handing out tracts to willing recipients on a public street during a public festival, Owen was approached by a police officer who declined to identify himself but told him that the Buffalo Police Department is the law and he should stop handing out tracts. According to the lawsuit: Subsequently, another police officer, Officer Slomka, arrived on the scene. She quickly informed Owen that they could not hand out tracts in the festival and explained that the prohibition was by our orders. Owen asked for her name, and she replied: Slomka, write it down. Owen advised that he believed the tracts to be free speech; nonplussed, Officer Slomka reiterated that they couldnt hand out tracts there and had to go outside of the festival area to continue with their expressive activity. Then, Owen inquired as to whether they would be arrested if they continued to hand out tracts in the festival area, to which, Officer Slomka replied: Yes. That almost makes me angry enough to take a trip over to Buffalo and hand out tracts right outside the police station. Even if you do not ever distribute literature, you should be alarmed at how our freedom of speech is being eroded. The truth is that whenever anyone has their freedom of speech attacked it is an attack on all of us. If we are not careful, we are going to end up just like Canada. At one high school up in Canada recently, a student was suspended from school for a week for wearing a shirt with the following message. Life is wasted without Jesus The student was told that the shirt was hate talk and that he would be suspended for the rest of the year if he tried to wear it to school again. They are coming for our free speech ladies and gentlemen. They are not going to be satisfied until they have either shut all of us up or put all of us in prison. It is imperative that we all stand up for free speech while we still can. Once our freedom of speech is gone, the loss of the rest of our freedoms will only be a matter of time.

1	According to an ABC News/Washington Post poll released Tuesday, four in five Americans favor assembling a torch-wielding mob to storm the gloomy castle on the outskirts of town and destroy the hideous evil creature dwelling within. The poll also found that 92 percent of Americans believe science has created an unholy menace, and that the foul, Hell-spawned monstrosity should be driven back to the fiery depths from which it came. Of the 20 percent of Americans not in favor of destroying the wretched beast, 7 percent said they 'strongly agree' with the statement, 'Who are we to arbitrarily take life from a creature into which man himself breathed life? Build for him a bride and let them live in peace, far from the prying eyes of foolish mortals.' Eight percent had no opinion.

2	Black Panthers Declaring Civil War If Officer Wilson Isnt Arrested According to recent reports, the former head of the New Black Panther Party has just called for a rebellion against the United States government if Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson fails to be indicted for the murder of Michael Brown. Malik Zulu Shabazz, now head of Black Lawyers for Justice, appeared on Fox News Radio to make the call to action. When host John Gibson asked Shabazz if police were justified in their use of force against protestors throwing rocks at them, Shabazz claimed that he had witnessed the police making up stories about violent protestors to justify their own violence. Shabazz went on to compare the throwing of bottles and rocks to colonists throwing tea into the Boston Harbor in 1773. Are we the only ones struggling to find the connection there? The authority of the white man and white America is illegitimate, he told Gibson. You have been killing us for 400 years. Shabazz then made a point to distinguish between riots and constitutionally-mandate rebellion against a tyrannical government. What do you think about Shabazz proposal?

'Whether you just blew the big job interview or wasted an entire weekend with your in-laws, take however long you need to get your shit together,' said spokesman Dale Rodriguez, describing the service for people who don't want to pay for a full day's rental but do want to roll down the windows, feel the wind blowing through their hair, and pound on the steering wheel to the beat of Boston's 'More Than A Feeling.' 'It's so easy you don't even have to worry about parking: Once you've gotten some perspective on the situation, just get out and walk away.' Hertz acknowledged renters would be charged an additional fee for silently crying in the parked car passed the allotted rental time.

1	Claiming that this could be Americas big chance at big money, the Department of the Treasury announced Wednesday that the country was poised to enter a bonus financial quarter worth double the cash. At an afternoon press event, Treasury Secretary Jacob Jackie Lew, clad in a sequined blazer and a tie adorned with a large dollar sign, confirmed that the economys performance in Q3 had qualified American markets for the so-called Bonanza Quarter, a special three-month cavalcade of cold hard cash during which U.S. corporations and households would have the opportunity to double their income, double their assets, and move up the big board. Great to be back with you againIm Jackie Lew and I have some exciting news for American financial markets: Thats right, its once again time for a fiscal bonanza! said the neatly coiffed cabinet official and host of the popular series Financial Quarters as an array of lights flashed on the podium around him. Of course, in the Bonanza Quarter, the economic rules are the same but the financial values are doubled, allowing you to earn twice the cash twice as fast. And as always, all FICA and Medicare withholdings have been eliminated so you can rack up those pre-tax dollars even quicker. Now, America, whats it going to be? Lew continued, speaking into a long, slender handheld microphone as a ticking clock sound effect began playing over the briefing rooms address system. You can either keep your accrued earnings from Q1, Q2, and Q3, or you can put your luck on the line and go double or nothing in one fast-paced, high-stakes fiscal blowout. The Treasury secretary then reportedly paused for several seconds, allowing the assembled journalists and economists at the press conference to excitedly shout Go for it or Keep the money in a raucous din. According to Lew, during the Bonanza Quarter the nations financial, commercial, and industrial firms would have their balance sheets doubled on the spot, while individual Americans would have a shot at the Payroll Payoff, a single wild pay period during which all overtime exemptions under Sec. 213 of the Fair Labor Standards Act would be lifted. As the famous Wheel of Short-Term Investment Returns was rolled out onto the podium, Lew is said to have described the mountains of dividends and capital gains available during the Bonanza Quarter, but reminded Americans they would have to spin it to win it. In addition, the Treasury secretary noted that participating citizens would have the opportunity to take home a variety of prizes, including a $500 T-bill, a two-year certificate of deposit at an above-market 1.75 percent APY, a Whirlpool combination washer/dryer, and the option to begin withdrawing their Social Security benefits penalty-free at age 65. And you know what that sound means, Lew said after a loud klaxon suddenly blared in the Treasury press room. Were raising the stakes even higher, allowing you to wager your entire 401(k) balance for a chance at the Big Money Multiplier, which could potentially boost your net worth threefold, fivefold, or even tenfold through an investment in an undiversified portfolio of high-yield, high-volatility equities and speculative-grade corporate bonds. And, of course, Lew added, his voice growing louder and more emphatic, you might even go home with this! The curtain behind Lew then reportedly drew open to reveal a 2014 Buick Regal with Federal Reserve Vice Chairperson Janet Yellen, dressed in a shimmering full-length gown, smiling and posing alongside it. After the audible gasps and cheers from spectators died down, sources confirmed that the Treasury secretary warned the nation that its chance at double the cash came with double the risk, noting that all earnings, outstanding corporate and mortgage debt, and the U.S. current account deficit would be subject to the whims and fluctuations of global financial markets. The choice is yours: Do you want to play it safe and go straight to Q4, or do you want to get in on this bonanza of cash, cash equivalents, and non-cash liquid assets? said Lew, assuring the nation that the clock wont start until all of the nations 155 million wage earners and 7 million C and S corporations had locked in their decisions. Just imagine all of the durable and non-durable goods that could be at your fingertips if you double your disposable income and fixed investments. So, America, why not put your gross domestic product where your mouth is and give it a shot? Lew added, before the audience joined him in loudly shouting his famous catchphrase, Lets get fiscal! At press time, the United States had opted to wager it all in the Bonanza Quarter and was down $5.8 trillion. 
3	Is Defiance a Lost Virtue?Brandon Smith, Contributor This attitude of collectivism (and elitism at the highest levels) and the treatment of the food producing subsection of the populace as slaves to the machine predictably generated the desire for civil unrest and even rebellion. By the time the Red Army had entered Khitrovo, the region was already a tinderbox. After they had taken everything of value and began to beat elderly men in public view as an example to the rest of the town, a war had ignited. At the height of what was later called The Tambov Rebellion, over 50,000 70,000 Russian citizens had taken up arms against their oppressive government, including Red Army soldiers who left their posts to join the cause. Vastly outnumbered, and technologically outclassed in every way, the guerilla fighters managed to infiltrate multiple levels of Bolshevik society and government, and had struck debilitating hits against Russian infrastructure. So great was the threat, that Lenin along with Red Army leadership ordered chemical warfare to be used in the forests where guerrillas were thought to be dug in, as well as summary executions of civilians, many of whom were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Concentration camps were built, mostly to house women, children, and elderly people thought to be related to insurgents and to be used as bargaining chips. Eventually, the rebellion diminished, but not before Lenin was forced to end the policy of Prodrazvyorstka along with many other directives that had angered the Russian public. Now, many historians and cynics of today would label the Tambov Rebellion an overall failure. They did not succeed in removing Lenin and the Bolsheviks. They did not defeat the Red Army. They did not directly put an end to Prodrazvyorstka, though they did trigger a chain of dominos which forced Lenins hand. There was no glowing victory as there was during the American Revolution centuries before. The freedom fighters were mostly forgotten until the fall of the Berlin Wall and the release of documentation that had survived the purge. However, what these men and women did accomplish was to set an example; to remind us of the ongoing and inevitable battle between oppressive establishments and the people they seek to dominate. Even in the nightmare world of communist Russia, from the conquests of Lenin, to the terrors of Stalin, even in the face of organized and energized tyranny, people decided to fight rather than quietly live in servitude. The lesson we are taught by the Tambov Rebels is that there is no such thing as unassailable empire, that free thinking people will ALWAYS exist, that the drive for independence is inborn and inherent, and that no oligarchy will stand unopposed for very long. Another lesson we learn, is that defiance is a virtue unto itself. It is its own means, and its own end. Wherever people seek truth, and honor, no consequence is foreboding enough to stop them. Defiance takes no notice of the threat of death. Some may question the example of the rebellion described above and its relevance to our times. Surely, they will say, the days of concentration camps, martial law, food confiscation, and general war against the people by most governments are long gone. We are living in more civilized times, where technology and reason prevail. The gullibility of this world view is hard to ignore In fact, Americans today may very well bear witness to similar or far worse tragedies in the coming years if current presidential directives and congressional legislation are any indication. It has become obvious that the Patriot Acts which many in the public rolled over for (under some protest) were a mere warm up to policies like the following: FISA: An overarching domestic surveillance bill which joins the cooperative efforts of corporations and government agencies. http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2008/07/senate-approv-1/ The John Warner National Defense Authorization Act: A Bush supported action which allows the president to unilaterally declare a public or national emergency for any reason he wishes without congressional consent and institute martial law policies aimed at suppression of the populace (the president is requires by the act to inform congress of his intentions after 14 days, but does not give congress the power of oversight). Also solidifies the erasure of Posse Comitatus. http://www.bordc.org/threats/hr5122.php Presidential Directive 51: Signed in private by George W. Bush. Allocates further power to the president to declare a national emergency for any reason he sees fit and to institute Continuity of Government Policies (martial law, among other things). This directive was only partially released to the public, but the entire document remains classified, even to members of congress! http://www.scribd.com/doc/7566901/PDD51 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA 2012): Incorporates policies outlined in John McCain and Joseph Liebermans thoroughly rejected Enemy Beligerents Act. Allows the president along with the Department of Homeland Security to label anyone, even an American citizen, and enemy combatant under the laws of war. Opens the door to the complete dismantling of Habeas Corpus, giving military authorities the ability to arrest U.S. citizens without warrant, without due process, without trial by civilian jury, to be held indefinitely. In other words, rendition and black-bagging of U.S. citizens regardless of civil liberties or the Constitution. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/environment/la-me-gs-national-defense-authorization-ruling-20120518,0,2046039.story Assassination Programs: Obama has not only claimed the right to assassinate American citizens, he has executed such orders. This policy works as an extension of the NDAA, meaning, anyone can be labeled an enemy combatant without trial, and, that person can be detained, or killed, as such. These actions have been opposed by civil liberties unions and politicians alike, but because they have so far only been used against U.S. citizens working with Al Qaeda, the general public remains on the fence or oblivious to the dangerous precedent. The Constitution specifically outlines what is to be done with Americans who aid the enemy in times of war in the Treason Clause. The Treason Clause allows NO assassination or detainment without trial. In fact, it REQUIRES a trial by jury along with two witnesses testifying to the overt criminal act. The Treason Clause has been utterly ignored by the Obama Administration thus far. http://www.peoplesworld.org/kucinich-bill-aims-to-stop-assassinations-of-u-s-citizens/ National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order: Obama recently signed this executive order which allows the president and the DHS to commandeer or confiscate public and private resources (any resources) in the name of national security, and, even allows for what essentially amounts to forced labor of U.S. citizens in the name of the national good. An almost exact replication of the powers claimed by Lenin and the Bolsheviks that triggered the Tambov uprising. http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/03/16/executive-order-national-defense-resources-preparedness http://reason.com/archives/2012/04/07/is-serfdom-an-executive-order-away Internment And Resettlement Operations: A secret Department of Defense document recently leaked to the public outlines extensive planning on the part of the government to use DHS and FEMA to relocate U.S. citizens and detainees to internment camps for processing. Triggers for such a policy could include natural disasters, man-made disasters, and terrorist attacks, among many others. The document specifically requires special exceptions to Posse Comitatus, allowing for military operation of the camps in question. http://info.publicintelligence.net/USArmy-InternmentResettlement.pdf The response to many of the disturbing provisions listed above has so far remained in the legal and political realm. A considerable portion of those aware of the dangerous path our government has taken over the past decade alone is to approach the problem from the top down. Unfortunately, they dont seem to realize or understand the greater crisis at work. As matters stand, there is very little recourse politically outside of full state nullification under the 10th Amendment. At the pace these executive orders and draconian bills are being churned out and slapped with a stamp of approval, the American people would have to unseat the president, not to mention almost every sitting Senator, and every Congressman, replacing them with true Constitutional statesmen and revamping Washington D.C. in the span of a few years in order to prevent the inevitable totalitarian abuse of the legal powers that now exist. This is not going to happen. Given that almost every president and presidential candidate for the last few decades has supported identical policies as far as expanding government power, voting in one party or the other (at least at the national level) does not appear to make much difference anymore. Legally, every avenue is being explored, but with little progress. The recent block on the NDAA by 4th District Court Judge Katherine Forrest was a moment of hope amongst anti-NDAA proponents, but the end result was obvious to some of us in the Liberty Movement who know the history of legal action against such legislation. So far, the Obama Administration has stated that her ruling is basically of no consequence to them, and that they will continue to implement the NDAA as they see fit. Apparently, the Judicial Branch now only has a say in matters of government when it agrees with the position of the president or DHS. This shows conclusively that the government intends to ignore court based decisions that are contrary to desired policy, and that while the legal fight should be pursued, we should not expect much in the results department. So, where does this leave us? If we cannot redress our grievances through elections, or through the courts, what is there for a freedom loving American to do? Though the thought causes some to shudder, it is not only logical but imperative that we look at the existing alternatives seriously. Invariably, if a government was to widely enforce any or all of the policies listed above, the result would be citizen dissent, peaceful and militant. When a social system becomes so corrupted that its only prerogative is its own survival and self perpetuation, even at the cost of the life and liberty of the people it was originally tasked to defend, the populace has no choice but to question whether that system should continue to exist any longer. Conflict, is unavoidable. As clear as this fact is to anyone with any sense, though, I find that many seem to treat the idea of physical action as astonishing, or shocking. Some even laugh as if the concept is outdated and absurd. Yet, they never seem to have an answer to the primary underlying question: What else is there? If working within the system only results in wasted effort and wasted time, what do the naysayers plan to do? Curl up in a ball and die? Or perhaps join the venomous establishment they could not subdue? As discussed earlier, the Tambov Rebellion and examples like it impress upon the narrow-minded visions of failure. To them, defiance, real defiance, leads only to death and disaster. The key to their extraordinary mistake is that they assume that defiance is about the assurance of victory. There are never any assurances. There were no assurances of victory for the Founding Fathers, there were no assurances for the Tambov Rebels, and there are no assurances for us if we one day have to draw a line in the sand against the very system we were born into. At bottom, the debate over solutions within the system versus solutions from without is irrelevant. On our current course, there is no other choice for the average American but to say no, regardless of the law, or the threat of its violent enforcement. Rebellion, in all its forms, is as natural as the cycles of the Earth. It reoccurs time and again, sometimes suppressed, but not for long. The horrors of governments gone rogue are no secret. We have so many examples in history to draw from it is hard to imagine any crime despots have NOT visited upon innocents. Frankly, if control thirsty elites can refine tyranny down to a science by examining the mistakes of the past, there is nothing stopping us from refining defiance down to an art form as well. Again, what other choice do we have, but to take heart in the knowledge that though there is no assurance of victory, there is also no assurance of defeat.

3	Eating Organic Has Significant Health Benefits Over Conventional Food: Major New Study FindsThis study demonstrates that choosing food produced according to organic standards can lead to increased intake of nutritionally desirable antioxidants and reduced exposure to toxic heavy metals. In the largest study of its kind, an international team of experts led by Newcastle University, UK, has shown that organic crops and crop-based foods are up to 69% higher in a number of key antioxidants than conventionally-grown crops. Analysing 343 studies into the compositional differences between organic and conventional crops, the team found that a switch to eating organic fruit, vegetable and cereals and food made from them would provide additional antioxidants equivalent to eating between 1-2 extra portions of fruit and vegetables a day. The study, published today in the prestigious British Journal of Nutrition, also shows significantly lower levels of toxic heavy metals in organic crops. Cadmium, which is one of only three metal contaminants along with lead and mercury for which the European Commission has set maximum permitted contamination levels in food, was found to be almost 50% lower in organic crops than conventionally-grown ones. Newcastle Universitys Professor Carlo Leifert, who led the study, says: This study demonstrates that choosing food produced according to organic standards can lead to increased intake of nutritionally desirable antioxidants and reduced exposure to toxic heavy metals. New methods used to analyse the data This is the most extensive analysis of the nutrient content in organic vs conventionally-produced foods ever undertaken and is the result of a groundbreaking new systematic literature review and meta-analysis by the international team. The findings contradict those of a 2009 UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) commissioned study which found there were no substantial differences or significant nutritional benefits from organic food. The FSA commissioned study based its conclusions on only 46 publications covering crops, meat and dairy, while Newcastle led meta-analysis is based on data from 343 peer-reviewed publications on composition difference between organic and conventional crops now available. The main difference between the two studies is time, explains Professor Leifert, who is Professor of Ecological Agriculture at Newcastle University. Research in this area has been slow to take off the ground and we have far more data available to us now than five years ago. Dr Gavin Stewart, a Lecturer in Evidence Synthesis and the meta-analysis expert in the Newcastle team, added: The much larger evidence base available in this synthesis allowed us to use more appropriate statistical methods to draw more definitive conclusions regarding the differences between organic and conventional crops What the findings mean The study, funded jointly by the European Framework 6 programme and the Sheepdrove Trust, found that concentrations of antioxidants such as polyphenolics were between 18-69% higher in organically-grown crops. Numerous studies have linked antioxidants to a reduced risk of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases and certain cancers. Substantially lower concentrations of a range of the toxic heavy metal cadmium were also detected in organic crops (on average 48% lower). Nitrogen concentrations were found to be significantly lower in organic crops. Concentrations of total nitrogen were 10%, nitrate 30% and nitrite 87% lower in organic compared to conventional crops. The study also found that pesticide residues were four times more likely to be found in conventional crops than organic ones. Professor Charles Benbrook, one of the authors of the study and a leading scientist based at Washington State University, explains: Our results are highly relevant and significant and will help both scientists and consumers sort through the often conflicting information currently available on the nutrient density of organic and conventional plant-based foods. Professor Leifert added: The organic vs non-organic debate has rumbled on for decades now but the evidence from this study is overwhelming that organic food is high in antioxidants and lower in toxic metals and pesticides. But this study should just be a starting point. We have shown without doubt there are composition differences between organic and conventional crops, now there is an urgent need to carry out well-controlled human dietary intervention and cohort studies specifically designed to identify and quantify the health impacts of switching to organic food. The authors of this study welcome the continued public and scientific debate on this important subject. The entire database generated and used for this analysis is freely available on the Newcastle University website for the benefit of other experts and interested members of the public.

3	Destabilization Expert Robert Ford Possible Choice for Ambassador to EgyptBrandon Turbeville With the geographic size of Egypt, its geopolitical importance, and both its historic and contemporary influence in the Middle East, the post of Ambassador to Egypt is an immensely important position, particularly now that both sides in the Egyptian turmoil have legitimate reasons to distrust and detest the United States. As Michael Gordon of the New York Times writes, Obviously, putting Egypt on a democratic course is not the intention of the United States, evidenced by the support and assistance provided to Morsi and the fanatical Muslim Brotherhood by the U.S. government all the way until the counter-coup was launched by the Egyptian military in response to popular outrage. Morsis constant rewriting of the Egyptian Constitution,[2] capitulation to the IMF,[3] and flirtation with Muslim fundamentalists and warmongers[4] was anything but democratic rule of law. However, with Egypt still finding itself in a state of transition and with increasing tension[5] produced by fanatical elements of the Muslim Brotherhood (itself a creation of Britain[6]) and Morsi supporters against the majority of the Egyptian people,[7] the possible appointment of Ford as Ambassador to the country is a concerning development. This is because, ever since his appointment to the position of Political Counselor to the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and his subsequent appointment as Ambassador to Syria, Ford has been nothing more than a destabilization expert, who has sown division and discord between populations and societies as well as serving to weaken the national governments of wherever he is placed. John Negroponte was the U.S. ambassador to Honduras from 1981 to 1985. In this role, he was instrumental in supporting and overseeing the Nicaraguan Contra killers who, although based in Honduras, engaged in horrific acts of terrorism inside Nicaragua. Ultimately, this operation claimed the lives of approximately 50,000 innocent civilians. This is the origin of the term Salvador Option when speaking of the formation of death squads for political purposes, an option that has become a hallmark of Negroponte and the system which he represents. Negroponte was also responsible for the formation of the Honduran death squads who engaged in a mission of terror against opponents of the US-backed Honduran regime as well as the Sandinistas and civilian populations in Nicaragua. As Peter Roff and James Chapin write in their article Face-off: Bushs Foreign Policy Warriors, In 2005, Negroponte was appointed as ambassador to Iraq. In this role, he again oversaw the formation of death squads who targeted both the civilian populations and the Iraqi insurgency. The goal here was to foment division within the insurgency and turn it into a fragmented front. A divided opposition is obviously much easier to defeat than a united one. This theory has been proven accurate time and time again. Indeed, in 2005, a story was leaked to Newsweek[10] where the Pentagon confirmed that it was considering forming hit squads of Kurdish and Shia fighters to target leaders of the Iraqi insurgency in a strategic shift borrowed from the American struggle against left-wing guerrillas in Central America 20 years ago.[11] The Pentagon did more than consider this option. Not very long after this information was leaked, Iraq began to see the results of its implementation. As Dahr Jamail of Antiwar.com wrote in 2007, Nevertheless, serving in Iraq at the same time that the death squads were beginning to make their bloody mark on the cohesion of the insurgency was Robert Ford who, at the time, had been appointed political counselor to the U.S. embassy in Baghdad. Ford remained in this post from 2004-2006 where he worked closely with Negroponte. He was also heavily involved in the organization of the death squads. Ford was instrumental in helping make contacts with these individuals, as well as developing and maintaining relations with them for other purposes such as continued and future terror campaigns. In fact, Ford was once described by Negroponte as one of these very tireless people . . . who didnt mind putting on his flak jacket and helmet and going out of the Green Zone to meet contacts. In short, Ford acted as a foot soldier in death squad formation. Attempting to summarize the death squad plan, Michael Hirsh and John Barry of Newsweek wrote in 2005: Notice that the authors mention Syria as a potential target of destabilization as far back as 2005. With this in mind, Fords action in Syria served the exact same purpose as his presence in Iraq only a few years previous.[14] This time, however, it seems that Ford took on a more central role in the affair. Indeed, many Syrians, if not aware of the more sinister acts of Ford, are at least aware that he has been instrumental in fomenting violent rebellion and negative Western public opinion against the ruling government. This is why Fords convoy was attacked by pro-government Syrians[15] as he rode through town meeting with his terrorist pets[16] early on in the Syrian destabilization operation. Fords very presence in Syria was clearly a destabilization tactic.[17] Indeed, he drew quite a bit of international attention to himself by traveling across the country at will, meeting with protestors and turning terrorists into martyrs in the minds of the gullible Western public. Of course, by meeting with protestors one can read instigating terrorism. The mainstream media, however, reports Fords terror encouragement tour as a heroic act of solidarity with the people. Eventually, after a succession of terror tours the Assad regime finally slapped restrictions on Fords travel, requiring him not to leave the boundaries of Damascus. However, Ford openly disregarded those limitations and brazenly began traveling all over Syria, meeting with his terrorist brethren.[18] This visit took place Wednesday, May 9, 2013 and was likely initiated via the Bab al-Salama crossing on the Turkey/Syria border. According to Deborah Thomas of NPR, Although no mention is made of the actual lethal aid that has been provided to the death squads by the generosity of the American taxpayer via Gulf State feudal monarchies such as Saudi Arabia,[20] Thomas points out that the MREs were part of an additional $10 million aid package dedicated to the death squads by the U.S. government. Likewise, Secretary of State John Kerry announced in April that the United States would be donating $123 million to the Syrian death squads, despite facing a worldwide economic depression, drastic levels of unemployment at home, and a manufactured crisis such as the sequester and a host of other domestic crises. Later, in July, the effectively Secret Congress authorized the open shipment of arms to the death squads.[21] Fords visit to Syria[22] is both part of the overarching attempt to further destabilize the country, organize death squad activity, and create a public relations campaign aimed at forming an image of Idriss as a figure around which popular support can be rallied. This, of course, is at least the third time Western interests have attempted to create a freedom fighter lead image for the Syrian death squads Moaz al-Khatib[23] and Ghassan Hitto[24] being the more recent failures. Idriss, although being heavily supported by the West, is now flailing[25] amongst an increasing trend indivision amongst the ranks of the death squads.[26] As Webster Tarpley commented on PressTV on May 10, 2013, Of course, this was not the first time that Ford engaged in a publicity-based visit to the Syrian death squads inside Syria, thus drawing the ire of the Syrian government.[28] In 2011, after his travel as U.S. Ambassador had been restricted due to the destabilization efforts already taking place, Ford traveled to Hama in order to promote and encourage the violent assault waged by the Western-backed death squads against innocent Syrian civilians as well as Syrian soldiers. At the very least, Fords history should be enough to cause some level of concern from both the Egyptian government and from any Westerner of good will. Ford, in virtually all of his appointments has done nothing but serve as a destabilization agent and a hands-on architect of death and destruction. For this reason and for those listed discussed in this article, the Egyptians would be wise to reject Robert Ford as Ambassador to their country, even if the United States Senate does not.

2	Obama Caught Funding Terrorists According to recent reports, a major GOP representative has just taken actions that could result in Obama being put in jail for treason. U.S. Rep Duncan Hunter has reportedly written a letter to the Justice Departments inspector general, asking if the FBI was involved in a potential cash payment for the release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. If the answer to that question is yesthe Obama administration technically funded terrorism. And it is illegal to pay any sort of fee for the release of a hostage. Further, because Bergdahl was a soldier and not a civilian, it falls on the military to take action to secure his freedom. Essentially, the FBI would be charged with overstepping their boundaries as well. They (the FBI) dont have the assets, Joe Kaspar, Rep. Hunters chief of staff said in an interview with Fox News. They dont have the resources. Hunter also argues that the FBI may have traveled to the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan to pay the ransom, and were told that Bergdahl would soon appear. Of course, he never did. Instead, he was later traded for five of the Talibans top terrorists. Thats a huge trade for someone who ended up being a deserter. What do you think? Does Obama deserve to be behind bars for the way he handled the Bergdahl situation? 
1	Noting a perceptible shift in the young relatives general attitude and demeanor, Weinberg family sources confirmed Thursday that cousins Jason Weinberg, 13, and Jake Weinberg, 15, seemed a lot meaner this year. Reports indicate the cousins noticeably changed personalities included sharper, more sarcastic senses of humor, an unambiguous lack of enthusiasm for spending time with cousins Katie and Benwhom they always seemed to get along great with before, sources emphasizedand a marked indifference to the Weinberg family Christmas traditions in general. They got meaner. And bigger, too. Bigger and meaner, Katie Weinberg, 11, said of her cousins, explaining that not only were Jason and Jake uncharacteristically rude, uninterested, and prone to wisecracks this year, but their physical appearances were also notably different, with Jason adding several inches in height and Jake adding substantial bulk to his previously slight frame. Theyve said about five words to me the whole time theyve been at our house. They just make little jokey comments to each other instead. And their voices are all deep, Katie added. Sources close to the situation say the cousins behavior fluctuated between complete silence and snickering amongst each other, with Jake occasionally checking his smartphone and Jason almost imperceptibly rolling his eyes after every sentence uttered by an adult. Jason and Jake also reportedly showed significantly diminished interest in typically popular Weinberg Christmas traditions including playing with the dogs in the backyard, checking out what new items the respective Weinberg children had added to their bedrooms and wardrobes, and alternately jumping, rolling, and lying on Carol Weinbergs waterbed. They wont even make eye contact, really, and the only words Ive heard them say are Whats up, No, and I dunno, Katies brother Ben told reporters. Jake has been wearing his sweatshirt hood on his head, indoors, for almost the entire time hes been here. On the bright side, Katie noted, cousin Jake was looking a lot hotter. 
3	Another Nail in Germanys Economic Coffin: Commerzbank Cuts Out Jobs and Shareholders ProfitsBy Daisy Luther Germanys second largest bank, Commerzbank is planning to cut almost 10,000 jobs over and will stop paying dividends to shareholders. These actions will take place over the next 4 years. When the news broke about Deutsche Bank collapsing, the German government said it will not assist the ailing bank however, some have reported that the situation appears so dire that they may havesoftened. According toDie Zeit, the German financial sector is in talks with the government to have a rescue plan in place to head off a total collapse of the bank. However, Deutsche Bank and the German Finance Ministry have denied that the government would be prepared to hold a 25% stake in the bank to prop it up. This report is false. The federal government is preparing no rescue plans. There is no reason for such speculation. The bank has said that clearly. A member of the Finance Ministry said yesterday. (source) Concerns are rising due to the size of the fine imposed by the U.S. Treasury. Deutsche Bank is Germanys biggest lender and is facing a $14bn (10.8bn; 12.5bn) bill for improper selling of mortgage-backed bonds before the financial crisis of 2008. Many experts dont feel that they would have to pay the whole fine but say that it is within the rights of the Treasury to insist the fine is paid. If this happens, there is little doubt that would lead to the total collapse of the bank in its current form. A few short weeks ago, the German government recommended that its citizens prepare for a national emergency by stockpiling food, water, and cash. Was an impending economic collapse the reason why? This is a nation that isnt used to having to deal with such things andtheir hard-line stance during the Greek financial crisis has put them in a position whereby they will look hypocritical if they step in to help a German financial institution when they basically turned their back on Greece. A bank holiday left the Greeks with no access to money, and their financial collapse resulted in tens of thousands of Greeks being unable to feed their kids and a skyrocketing suicide rate. Merkels open door policy for migrants has also caused some deep divisions with massive gains amongst the far-right who have pledged to cut immigration. The country has been besieged by sexual assaults and a rise in violence over the last few months and one has to ask how long the strongman of Europe can keep traveling on its present course. Of course, astute observers knew something was amiss when Germany announced it was looking at the possibility of re-introducing the draft and had advised German citizens to stock up on food, water, and cash in case the country faced a national emergency. Europe is teetering on the brink and, although we are thousands of miles away, we must take note of what happens there. Trade and economy are inextricably linked in this age of global connectedness and the ripples are felt around the world when a major economy hits its crisis point.

If you had read George Soros leaked emails you would know that this was all planned a long time ago. Actually the plan to destroy Germany goes back at least to 1952 and the founder of the European Unions letter describing the systematic destruction of all European economies, especially Germany. They have to destroy Germany because it is strong enough to oppose the continued European integration. Fortunately they have Merkel, the daughter of Stasi (East German Secret Police) agents to destroy the country. Why do you think she has done everything she can to bring Germany to its knees? Thats her job. Another point: The article sounds like a set up to get the public to accept Bail Outs (or Bail Ins) of these 2 mega banks. Werent the same basic arguments used in Greece, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Cyprus et al to justify Bail Ins/ Out? Same old scam!! How did it work in THOSE cases? The BANKS debts became everyones debts and the banks became the merciless creditors, economically destroying those countries to make sure they got paid! Ge-EXIT. The sooner all of the world banks collapse the better. They have stolen the wealth of the world and create debt and death out of thin air. The problem is the Banksters and their puppet government wont let any other bank start up to replace the failing ones. The Banksters want to bring in the New order of the world. Where freedom is a crime, and have no money, just credits each week if you obey their luciferian dribble. and the banksters in control are constituents of which religion ? 
3	Americans Preparing for Strong Possibility of Violence on Election DayBy Vic Bishop Voters have been very obsessive in whats been an emotional presidential election year. It is possible thatsupporters of the winning party make a public display showing off their victory to emphasize the painful fact that the other candidate has lost. Will they become easy targets? Whoever has lost may question the validity of the election and accuse of opposing side of manipulating the results. If it comes to this, should we expect civil unrest? It may be smart to stock up on a few days of extra food and water, so you can just hole up at home if need be. More details from theaforementioned survey can be found here. Its no surprise people are apprehensive about Election Day. Voters in the U.S. have been passionately divided when it comes to the candidates. Many are fervent to keep the worse of two evils out of office. Decisions seem to be driven more by animosity towards one candidate, rather than by inspiration or vision offered by the other. Regardless if the voter survey offers an accurate representation of how Americans truly feel, we cannot deny that political discord has already incited violence in communities across the States. A summary here offers just a glimpse at the various incidents that have occurred during the year. Take a look below at the reception a man wearing a Trump hat received when attending a Clinton rally. Violence isnt exclusive to Clinton supporters. Two videos below show how Trump supporters respond to unwelcome demonstration by their opposition. With so much hatred and hostility surrounding the election, one can reasonably expect a violent, or at least unpleasant, conclusion. And any aggression will likely be exacerbated by the news media, which will make matters worse. In addition to the looming question of who will be named president, another big unknown is how will U.S. citizens react? Will they accept the results of the election? As per the previous mentioned voter survey, it seems that the confidence Americans once had in their election process is definitely floundering. More than four in 10 of Trump supporters say they wont recognize the legitimacy of Clinton as president, if she prevails, because they say she wouldnt have won fair and square. More than two-thirds of Trump voters say they worry the election returns could be manipulated. In contrast, eight in 10 of Clinton voters say the returns can be trusted to be fair and accurate. (source) The drama of the election year will likely continue after November 8. It is reasonable to expect that some communities will experience civil unrest, particularly where divisions are strong. It only makes sense to prepare, at least at the basic level, with a weeks worth of storable food and water available in your home. It might also be smart to stock up your bug-out bag. Of course, some may feel the need to be a bit more aggressive with their preparedness plans: Since the polls are starting to shift quite a bit towards Hillary Clinton, Ive been buying a lot more ammunition, says Rick Darling, 69, an engineer from Harrison Township, in Michigans Detroit suburbs. In a follow-up phone interview after being surveyed, the Trump supporter said he fears progressives will want to declare martial law and take our guns away after the election.

Anyone who commits a violent act due to their support of either of these two pathetic presidential candidates is so totally warped out of reality they belong in a straight jacket and a padded cell. This pointless, media-induced civil war scenario is just the excuse our rogue government needs to crack down on the rest of us, which is why they incited all this phony violence in the first place. Theyre just getting cranked up in Dakota now, practicing their aim on the peaceful Native American protesters. The rest of us are next. Lock HER up. Looking back at earlier US elections, it is very apparent that the nation still cant guarantee free and fair elections. There have always been accusations of fraud whether by the Parties themselves (election fraud) or by the individual voters (voter fraud). Why can every other first World nation manage to have elections fair and square without rancour and fraud but after 200 years the US still cant? democrats Whats up with everyone saying this? This is the second website to say theyll have schools closed, due to worrying about violence. Uh, schools have always been closed on election day Duh? Trying to worry people about thisis crazy. 
3	FBI Shrugs at Calls to Pin Real Numbers for Police KillingsBy Amanda Warren So busy are they, that they dont have timeto vetnumbers in the Uniform Crime Report or on how many U.S. citizens are killed by police. When pressure reached a peak to reveal real numbers of U.S. citizens killed by police, there was only vague promises from FBI Director James Comey. He told reporters in April that it was ridiculous that I cant tell you how many people were shot by the police last week, last month, last year. Indeed, it was a subject humorously tackled on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart last fall, when a criminologist could not definitively say whether crime was increasing or decreasing or expand on any related data. That episode highlighted the mystery of how manyAmericans are killedby law enforcement. The Guardian reported: The FBI will continue to resist pressure from legislators and activists for the creation of a fully comprehensive count of all killings by American police officers, the bureaus director signaled on Monday. Writing as the FBI released its annual crime statistics, James Comey said an existing voluntary system, under which police departments around the country choose whether or not to submit data on homicides by their officers, will carry on. Comey said the FBI would try to collect more information but gave no specific details about how this would be done. Additionally, this week there was a report that showed a ghastly under-count of people killed in police high-speed chases. When a national tragedy occurs centering on a mass shooting, scrutiny is automatically and illogically aimed at the greater law abiding populace with calls to restrict personal firearms. Laws immediately get enacted paired with trite challenges like if youve got nothing to hide If it werent for numbers provided by Killed by Police the media would still be obscuring the fact that police killed more people in 2014 alone, than all U.S. mass shootings combined. Killed by Police recorded over 1100 deaths the FBI counted 444 and called them justifiable homicides by police. But when Americans wish for a mere inventory on the casualties bylaw enforcement what kind of response do they get? Amanda Warren writes for selfnews Post see her recent articles HERE Its not like anything the fbi says can be believed anyway! they are proven liars! We have become the former U.S.S.R.. Put to much pressure on the government and youll be one of their undocumented justifiable homicides. The only law is the one they make with their weapons, that is why they like their civilians disarmed. 
1	A series of massive explosions ripped through a crowded central Baghdad market on Friday, killing at least 54 Iraqi citizens in not our problem anymore. Shortly before noon local time, according to sources, four trucks loaded with explosives detonated in a simultaneous no longer our mess to clean up, wounding more than 200. The blasts, which appeared to be timed to coincide with the height of Friday prayers, left a grisly, chaotic scene of scattered body parts, shattered storefronts, and they're going to have to learn to deal with this themselves from now on because we're out of there come January. According to city officials, local morgues have been overwhelmed with we're seriously not going to give this a second thought. 'This was a senseless, cowardly act of we're leaving, we're done, so this doesn't concern us one shred,' said Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, briefly addressing the completely inconsequential event, as far as we're concerned. 'We've been in contact with Prime Minister [Nouri] al-Maliki and have pledged to assist with paying no further attention to this type of thing, got it?' 'President Obama offers his deepest condolences to the it's completely outside our mandate at this point, and his thoughts are with those Iraqis and their families who frankly none of this matters much one way or the other,' Panetta continued. 'Adios.' The powerful somebody else's problem now is said to have killed six police officers and 19 children, though authorities had not yet identified the somebody else's problem now, goddamn it. In what may be a related incident, four were gunned down outside a nearby army recruiting station when this would have been a big deal in 2003, but nope, not anymore. Consider our hands scrubbed clean of this mess. An influential Shiite militia has claimed responsibility for let's just get back home to our families for Christ's sake, go back to living normal lives again, and try to forget all about this, according to posts on an Arabic-language website known to be used by militant groups. Additionally, sources confirmed we don't care. 'We cannot and will not allow insurgents to destabilize the gains we've made and I literally put this attack out of my mind the second it happened,' said Gen. Lloyd Austin, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, as he packed up his computer and belongings to exit the country for good. 'We will continue to work closely with Iraqi intelligence and security forces to ensure, look, we did the best we could here, okay? We tried. We fucking tried. Now, I'm not going to stand here questioning this or that military decision, but let's just say it was a lousy situation to begin with. That really shouldn't come as a shock to anyone. And now it's time to cut our losses and go. It's over. Done-zo. So best of luck to all of you.' 'Army checkpoints in the area have been restored,' he added. The bombing, which marks this month's deadliest nuh-uh, don't look at us, is just the latest in a spate of roadside bombs to hit the capital. According to official statistics, the number of violent attacks has risen sharply in recent weeks, leading to fears of what part of 'complete U.S. military exit from Iraq by Jan. 1' don't you understand? Following Friday's nonevent in our estimation, locals gathered at the site of the attack to mourn the we're done talking about this now, and began the solemn task of everything can go to shit for all we care, because we're leaving and never looking back. 'I heard a loud explosion, and when I looked down at my daughter [Hey, look, buddy, we honestly don't know what to tell you],' said blood-spattered Baghdad resident Hatim al-Hasani, 35, describing what someone else is going to have to handle from now on, because we certainly won't be doing it. '[You're on your own. Arrivederci. We're done here.]' Added al-Hasani, breaking down in tears, '[See ya.]' At press time, 14 citizens were reported killed and some 30 more injured in some goddamn shit along the Afghan-Pakistani border we still have to fucking deal with. 
1	His heart pounding in fear as he stared at the unread message in his inbox, area man Joe Dubbin reportedly checked Gmail at 11 p.m. Sunday night to discover a horrifying email from his ex-girlfriend titled simply A few things. Oh, God, Dubbin said under his breath as he worked up the nerve to move his cursor over the wholly unexpected message, a film of cold sweat materializing on his brow as he scanned the previewed line of text that read Just so you know followed by an ellipsis. Should I just open this thing and get it over with now, or maybe mark it as read and look at it tomorrow? Or I could just delete it quickly and forget this ever happened. Jesus. Sources reported that Dubbins pupils then dilated in terror when, 12 minutes after the email arrived in his inbox, the number 2 in parentheses suddenly appeared beside his ex-girlfriends name. 
1	Complaining that another patron always seems to have borrowed the animal before he gets a chance to take it home, frustrated local man Scott Gardner told reporters Monday that the sole Siberian tiger at his local zoo is checked out every time he visits. No matter when I head over there, the woman at the tiger habitat tells me the Siberian is checked out but that I can get it once its returned in a few weeks, Gardner said, noting that the same person seemed to be repeatedly renewing the 350-pound cat and that he was always relegated to taking home some leopard thats not nearly as good. I looked it up online, and theyve got a Siberian available at another location, but Im not about to drive all the way out to Oakland. When pressed, Gardner admitted that the availability of the tiger was a moot point, as his borrowing privileges had been suspended until he paid for the tiger he lost a few years ago. 
3	Human Rights, Si! ... But Not In Our BackyardBy Joan Dark The IACHR is mandated to investigate and provide remedy for human rights violations committed by the very states which comprise its funding base. So when the IACHR looks into petitions for redress filed by individuals or groups, of necessity it is investigating alleged bad acts by those who financially support it. It appears that this long standing and strained alliance may be crumbling. Earlier this year,the IACHR plummeted into a funding crisis which threatened its continued viability. An IACHR press release dated May 23, 2016 stated that The Commission deeply regrets having to report that on July 31, 2016, the contracts of 40 percent of its personnel will expire, and at this time the Commission does not have the fundsor the expectation of receiving the fundsto be able to renew them. The Commission is also very sorry to report that it has been forced to suspend the visits it had planned for this year, as well as its 159th and 160th sessions, which had been scheduled for July and October. On September 30, the IACHR announced that, due to the international response to the funding crisis, the immediate funding crisis was overcome. We announce with great satisfaction today that the severe financial crisis we went through in 2016 has been overcome, said the IACHR President, Commissioner James Cavallaro. This was possible thanks to the special financial efforts done by Member States and other donors to help solve the urgent problem. The funding for the Commission is based on OAS budget appropriations and voluntary contributions from member and observer states, as well as regular contributions from other countries, many of which had curtailed or completely stopped their contributions to this human rights body. According to a source connected with the Inter-American court, the European contributions have been reportedly cut back due to the crisis engendered in those countries as a result of the influx of Syrian refugees. And on all these fronts budget allocations and voluntary contributions from the Americas and abroad funding for the human rights system in the Americas is under attack. Even though the immediate crisis has been addressed, there are foundational issues which may well continue to hamper human rights in the Americas. The OAS budgets $5 million (US) dollars per year for the IACHR. Another $4 million from voluntary contributions make up the rest of the $9 million yearly budget for the Commission. In comparison with the funding for the two other international human rights systems in Europe and in Africa the funding for the IACHR renders it the most impoverished. The budget of the International Criminal Court at The Hague is $27 million, while the African System is budgeted at $13 million. The Council of Europe allocates 100 million Euros each year for the protection and defense of human rights in that region. It should be noted that Latin American and Caribbean countries also provide voluntary contributions to The Hague. According to the IACHR, that funding constitutes $13,705,508 a year. The same Latin American and Caribbean countries contribute a mere $199,600 to the IACHR. The Hague rarely takes on cases involving Latin America, however. There is only one case concerning Latin America pending at The Hague, while over 6100 cases concerning Latin American countries are lodged with the IACHR. The Council of Europe allocates 41.5% of its budget for protection of human rights while the OAS apportions 6% of its yearly budget towards the IACHR. In other words, Latin American countries are fierce defenders of human rights bodies but just not in their own backyard. While the regular OAS funding for the IACHR has been problematic for some time, the recent financial crisis appears to have been launched due to the curtailing of the voluntary contributions, both from member states and others. The IACHR had received one million less this year in voluntary contributions than was received the previous year. Canada, for example, had sharply curtailed its voluntary contributions to the IACHR. Its contributions have been decreasing since 2013, when they peaked at $612,400 US. The following year Canadas contribution plummeted to $304,200 and then further dropped in 2015, to only $75,900. Mexico, which contributed $500,000 in 2014, subsequently stopped its voluntary contributions completely. The reasons for the cessation of contributions from Mexico may be linked to IACHR investigations of that country. The IACHR has launched an investigation of the missing 43 students from the Rural Teachers College in Ayotzinapa, Guerrero, who went missing in September 2014 and the Commission has appointed an independent (non IACHR) team of experts to conduct the investigation, which Mexico will be paying for, to the tune of $1.25 million. These funds are separate from the voluntary contributions, which Mexico has not volunteered since 2014. The Commission has recently voiced sharp criticism of Mexicos human rights, stating that Mexico suffers from a serious crisis of violence and impunity. A March 2016 report from the Commission also highlighted repeated failures by Mexican authorities to get to the bottom of 27,000 disappearances registered in Mexico as of 2015. According to the international human rights network, IFEX, member states Argentina, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and the United States of America all reduced their contributions to the IACHR between 2013-15, says IFEX-ALC, while Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay have contributed only irregularly. The Commission has actively pursued claims against a number of the countries which had subsequently withdrawn or cut back their contributions. Since 2006, the IACHR has granted 61 precautionary measures involving Mexico and has sent on six cases to the Inter-American Court. Since 2006, Colombia has seen 71 precautionary measures granted by the IACHR and 12 cases sent to the court. In the same time frame, the United States has had 41 precautionary measures granted and, due to the USs refusal to submit to the courts jurisdiction, has had zero cases adjudicated through the court. Canada, which has not ratified any of the OAS human rights treaties, also does not submit to the courts jurisdiction and has had no precautionary measures granted and no cases pending at the court. Canadas support for the IACHR was halted under the conservative Harper government and has yet to be reinitiated. According to the International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs, Argentinas current level of support for the IACHR has dwindled to a mere 10% of its prior level of contributions. The Inter-American Court, which also relies on funding from the OAS budget as well as on voluntary contributions, has reported a shortfall in voluntary contributions. An official connected with the court, speaking under conditions of anonymity, told this reporter that the courts financial crisis will likely affect the ability of the court to maintain its normal sessions of 10-11 weeks each year. The official stated that the financial crisis would probably reduce the sessions to around seven working weeks. As with the Commission, the OAS funding for the court renders the Inter-American court the most impoverished international court in the world, asserted the official. He explained that the OAS allocates 2.7 million for the court, which comprises about half of its budget. The rest comes from international cooperation, which has now dropped off severely. Historically, there is no culture of human rights in Latin America, he stated. This is a political crisis that has economic aspects. There is simply a lack of will to increase the budget. According to the IACHR, an unaddressed financial setback would result in the following thousands of victims of human rights violations will be left unprotected. The total dismantling of some work teams and the cutbacks mean that it is inevitable that the procedural backlog the Commission had been trying to reduce will increase again and will reach a point where it is incompatible with the right of access to justice. The International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs, which published a statement of support for the IACHR, summed up the political impetus behind the financial crisis, asserting that: The crisis affecting the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights is not solely financial but it is in response to a political strategy of the OAS Member States to bring the human rights protection system in the region to an end. Various proposals for addressing the financial crisis are being discussed. At the time of going to press, the IACHR has announced the selection of a new Executive Secretary, Dr. Paolo Abrao, a lawyer and professor from Brazil. According to unverified rumor from a human rights source, the prior Executive Secretary, Mexican Emilio lvarez Icaza Longoria, may be planning a run for the Presidency of Mexico. Joan Dark is a New-York based independent researcher. A truly laudable goal to rally for human rights but if a country can financially support this organization and then refuse to be held accountable one could easily argue that the organization is better off disbanded.

Now, as a new mom, shes explaining how its helped fuel her success in her first seven months of motherhood. In a recent interview, Underwood explained that she and her husband Mike Fisher have started getting a good routine down when it comes to diaper changes and the nightly tradition of reading childrens Bible stories to her son Isaiah Michael. Mike and I talk about teaching him how to approach everybody in a loving way, even if theyre not the same, and to try to say, You know what? God loves them, so it should be my job to do my best to love them as well. She went on to explain how having faith in God can help children become a stronger part of their community. We want to go to church, not just for lessons and learning, but also to have a community and be surrounded by people who are just trying to raise their kids up good, Underwood concluded. Keep everything as loving as possible, you know? What do you think? Is Underwood a great role model for todays parents?

Tom Llamas, a reporter from Good Morning America, told Trump that the term was offensive. You mean its not politically correct and yet everybody uses it? Trump shot back. Look it up in the dictionary, Llamas protested. Its offensive! Trump asked what he should be saying instead, and Llamas suggested, the American-born child of an undocumented immigrant. You want me to say that? OK. Ill use the world anchor baby, Trump concluded. Excuse me, Ill use the word anchor baby. Watch the confrontation below and tell us what you think. 
3	Why There Are No New Jobs In AmericaDigby Jones In this short video, financial publisher Porter Stansberry interprets President Obamas comments about small business and follows Obamas lead by creating an offer of partnership for start-up companies in the United States to evaluate. The entrepreneur is required to front all of the capital necessary to start and grow the business, while also taking all of the financial risks, and then pay a substantial cut of company profits to Uncle Sam (if the company is one of the lucky few which becomes wildly successful). You will see why there are hardly any new full-time jobs becoming available in the United States. It is simply too risky to start a new business in a dire economic climate, while also having to satisfy a laundry list of regulations and financial obligations to big government at the local, state, and federal levels. The implementation of Obamacare is only going to make this situation much much worse for everyone, and we have seen a lot of the consequences already.

'It just really sucks here,' said Rodriguez, who noted that the pressure he faces every day living in the city of New York and playing for the Yankees has become 'fucking outrageous.' 'I hate all of itthe dress code, the strict curfew, not having my name on my uniform, the stadium, the tradition, my teammates, playing third baseall of it.

2	Everything Al Sharpton Has Worked For Is About To Come Crumbling Down... Hes Finished The Reverend Al Sharpton has been publicly exposed as a con artist and widely criticized as seeking to escalate the racial unrest in this country rather than quell it or work to fix the problem. Of course, he continues to categorically deny these accusations. As if Sharpton werent hated enough, hes just decided to take on Donald Trumpa man who he has known since the late 80s. In a recent interview, Sharpton revealed that he once flew to Atlantic City with Trump on his private helicopter. Trump tried to convince me that he was not bigoted, Sharpton claims. He was playing the misunderstood guyHe donated office space to Jesse Jackson for his Wall Street project, was at all the events. Sharpton has repeatedly called Trumps actions racist on the air. Hillary, I think, has moved a lot further to where I would want her, Sharpton argued. I am very impressed with a lot of the stuff shes saying. What do you think of Sharptons comments? Does his endorsement hurt Hillarys campaign? 
3	Senate to hold closed briefing on NSA surveillance, lawmakers say they werent informed of programsMadison Ruppert The recent media furor began with a report showing that a secret court order forced Verizon to hand over all records for U.S. customers to the NSA. Soon after, the massive NSA surveillance program called PRISM involving major tech companies was revealed followed by Boundless Informant. We now know that the whistleblower is Edward Snowden, a 29-year-old employee of Booz Allen Hamilton and former employee of the CIA. Currently, individuals in Washington are engaging in massive damage control and it appears that Director of National Intelligence James Clapper lied under oath about the NSA programs. The complaints from legislators, including Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), are quite surprising given that Obama previously claimed, The programs are secret in the sense that they are classified, but they are not secret in the sense that when it comes to telephone calls, every member of Congress has been briefed on this program. Thune, on the other hand, said that he believes most of the members of Congress, contrary to Obamas statement, are not fully aware of the extent of the NSA program known as PRISM. Well I think that the times that this programs been reauthorized, much of this operates in levels where there are not that many people members of Congress who are fully engaged in whats going on, Thune said on MSNBC, according to The Hill. However, the White House stated on Monday that 22 briefings on the program were held over the last 14 months. Some of those briefings reportedly included members of Congress who do not sit on one of the intelligence panels. Despite the backlash from within the U.S. and abroad, a senior intelligence official told The Washington Post that there are currently no plans to end the massive surveillance program. Since the briefings will be closed to the public, it remains to be seen how much information will be released for public scrutiny. For those who need an overview of the revelations of the NSAs surveillance program, you can listen to my interview on Flow of Wisdom Radio with Sean Anthony which aired live on GCN on Sunday, embedded below.

I can assure you that whether you voted for him or you did not vote for him, if you are a citizen of the United States, he is your president, Judge John Primomo told the new citizens. He will be your president and fi you do not like that, you need to go to another country. Primomo later said he didnt even vote for Trumphe only meant his statement to be one of unity and respect for our countrys leaders. In an interview with KENS5, he also addressed the recent protests of football player Colin Kaepernick. I detest that because you can protest things that happen in this country. You have every right to. You dont do that by offending national symbols like the national anthem and flag of the United States, he argued. What do you think of Primomos message?

1	According to a report released Wednesday by the University of Iowa, 87 percent of Americans are currently unaware that they have been selected in the later rounds of the 2015 Major League Baseball Draft. Our survey indicates that over 270 million Americans are totally oblivious to the fact that theyve been picked between the 20th and 40th rounds of this years MLB Draft and are now eligible to negotiate minor-league contracts, said study author Angelo Crawford, explaining that over four-fifths of the U.S. populace, many of whom never played baseball past Little League, have no idea that their names were recently displayed on the MLB.com live draft tracker as their selections were analyzed by numerous baseball writers and sports bloggers. For example, several hundred thousand Americans are now part of the Baltimore Orioles organization and have been assigned to the Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds over in Marylandthey just dont know it. At press time, over 7 million Americans were ignoring a phone call from an unknown number belonging to Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane. 
1	Sources confirmed Monday that at least six NFL franchises have expressed serious interest in quarterback Tim Tebow as a grounds crew worker, claiming that the former Florida Gators star would be a perfect fit for their field maintenance team. From a purely physical standpoint, Tebow has the size, strength, and agility for turf management, snow removal, or lifting 50 pounds of mulch, said Kansas City Chiefs general manager John Dorsey, who expressed concerns about whether Tebow possessed the mental makeup to handle the stresses of mowing at a professional level. Tim certainly has the skills to unload equipment, water grass, and organize and clean the storage areas, but hes a little sloppy. We would be willing to take a chance on him for the league minimum, of course. However, if he wants insurance, he needs to put in 40 hours a week. Tebow has reportedly stated that he wants to paint the lines on the field, but all the interested NFL teams agreed that the 26-year-old was not yet ready for such a challenging task.

2	Obama Makes Major Announcement To Do THIS After His Presidency You Will Be Sick As the 2016 presidential elections draw nearer, many Americans are wondering what the next move for Barack Obama will be. Of course, many fear that we have not seen the last of the Obama family. Now, rumors are circulating the Obama may have plans to join the Supreme Court after his presidency comes to an end. Obama has a history in law, as former president of the Harvard Law Review and a professor at the University of Chicago. He has also made comments hinting at this position, claiming that the best justices in history have been politicians. We need somebody whos got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what its like to be a young teenage mom, Obama said in a statement, when asked who his ideal Supreme Court Justice would be. The empathy to understand what its like to be poor, or African American, or gay, or disabled, or old. Obviously, Obama thinks that he represents these qualities. What do you think? Is this the worst thing that could happen to the United States? 
2	Texas Mosque Shut Down For Funding Terrorism According to recent reports, a mosque in the Dallas area has just been just down after being a named as a co-conspirator in massive terrorism financing. The Dallas Central Mosque was reportedly designed from the start to fund the Holy Land Foundation (HLF), which has now been identified by the federal government as a terrorist organization. The HLF has been seized and shut down. 5 major leaders have been convicted. But the issue is still raising concerns about mosques throughout the country. The HLF intentionally hid its financial support for Hamas behind the guise of charitable donations, one source reported. HLF and these 5 defendants provided approximately $12.4 million in support to Hamas and its goal of creating an Islamic Palestinian state by elimination of the State of Israel through violent jihad. What do you think? Is this of serious concern to the community?

'Tammy discrimination has been ignored for too long, and it's high time we took action,' said summit organizer Tammy Mugler, 24, an assistant manager at an Atlanta-area Orange Julius. 'Do you realize that in the entire history of the United States, no Tammy has ever been elected to federal office?' Tammy Halford, 38, a Vienna, VA, data-entry clerk, said: 'As soon as people hear my name, they start to make assumptions about me.

'Finally, after years of being silent about my sexual orientation, I can get all this built-up telling out of my system,' Cpl. Kevin Lassally said Thursday, telling reporters he had already made an exhaustive mental inventory of all the people he was going to ask. 'I think I'll probably send out a bulk e-mail to get my telling over with all at once. That way, I can free up most of my time for asking. Man, this is gonna be great.

2	Muslim Inmate Demands Special Food For Ramadan According to recent reports, several of the Muslim inmates in the jails of Miami-Dade County, FL are requested special accommodations. Recent reports revealed that a group of 17 criminals paired up with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Florida and the American Civil Liberties union to file complaints because they were being denied halal food for Ramadan. Halal meat is one that is prepared in adherence to Islamic law, as specified by the Quran. The problem? Besides an obvious entitlement issue, county officials have assured the public that they are already serving halal meals. In fact, the Miami-Dade County Rehabilitation Department confirmed that they had found the alternative meal currently offered to the Muslim inmates to be in accordance with Muslim principles.

3	Exploring the impact of TASERs in the UKselfnews Post The research published in theOxford Journal of Policing/Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practicesuggests that in order to evaluate the impact of TASERs, better data collection on other force, such as batons and irritant spray, used by the police would assist in providing a clearer understanding of the impact on officer safety and injury rates of civilians. This report comes less than a month after the Home Secretary, Theresa May, called for improved data reporting on use of force by the police. The Policing Science: The Lessons of TASER research is funded by the Economic Social Research Council (ESRC), via the South West Doctoral Training Centre (SWDTC). The lead author is Abi Dymond, PhD researcher in Security Conflict and Justice at the Universities of Exeter and Bristol, who is working alongside the Association of Chief Police Officers, and various UK police forces, on the research. Dymond is keen to highlight the need for comparative data, she said: TASER clearly has a valuable role to play in policing and preciselyhowvaluable is a key question. Whilst much information is currently being captured on TASER use itself, limited information was collected on police use of force, officer and civilian injuries prior to its introduction, which makes it difficult to assess the impact TASER has had. She added: Whilst some steps are already being taken in this direction, there is an urgent need for better data collection on police use of other force such as batons and irritant spray in England and Wales to allow us to put the benefits and risks of TASER into context. Ten years since the initial introduction of TASER, its usage remains a sensitive and controversial issue. According to the report, following the use of a TASER police officers are required to submit a seven page use of force form to the Home Office and their force. The police are under no obligation to submit any use of force forms for batons and irritant spray, limiting the ability to compare and contrast findings. In addition, whilst this system requires officers to record civilian injuries, there is no space for them to record injuries they may have sustained during the incident. This complicates any assessment of the impact of TASER on officer injury rates. Although there has been significant research on the introduction and impact of TASER, former Chief Constable and editor of the Oxford Journal on PolicingPeter Neyroud CBE QPM is acutely aware of the need for ongoing research. Hesaid: The deployment of TASER into operational policing was carefully considered and based on the best available research. However, this is such a crucial part of the police use of force that it is essential that the research keeps pace with the day to day practice. The ESRC funded research based at the University of Exeter is a very important programme that is adding to our knowledge and will allow the police to learn from the most up to date evidence. The article is appearing in the December Special Issue of theOxford Journal of Policing, entitledTransforming the Police Through Science. Professor Brian Rappert, a social scientist at the University of Exeter and co-author of the report said: We hope the lessons identified in this article will help foster enhanced policies and practices regarding police use of force in the UK and beyond.

2	See What Shocking Item Ted Cruz Just Sent Obama Senator Ted Cruz is the latest to join the group who has decided to take a stand against President Obama for his lack of action and urgency when it comes to the border crisis. As you may know, Obama was in the state of Texas this week to host two fundraisers. One was in Austin, and the other was in Dallas. The administration also had plans to stop and visit the facilities that are currently housing migrants at the border, but ended up skipping those all together. Understandably, both Cruz and Governor Rick Perry took extraordinary offense to the action. Perry refused to greet Obama when he landed at the airport, while Cruz took a more creative approach. If President Obama wants to have a real border meeting with @GovernorPerry, here are a couple suggested detours, he tweeted to his followers, with the real Google map directions from the fundraisers to the border facilities. What do you think? Does the administration need to take action NOW? 
1	One week after watching the Washington Nationals clinch their first-ever playoff berth, local fans told reporters Thursday that they would never forget exactly where they were and who they were murdering on the night their team beat the Dodgers 4-1. Fans across the Washington D.C. nostalgically reflected on the moment the Nationals secured a spot in the playoffs, sharing the vibrant memories of every victim they were killing during the gameimpressions that they were certain would be with them for the rest of their lives. It was the bottom of the ninth, Drew Storen was pitching of course, and I remember Hanley Ramirez was coming up to bat with two outs just as that little bitch Derek started pleading for his life, Trevor Forrest, 34, of Anacostia told reporters. Man, I knew I was experiencing something truly special. Ill never forget that moment because they made that third out and I put a bullet in his head and threw the gun in a nearby dumpster. Go Nats, he added. Martin Fuller, a Southeast D.C. resident, reminisced about listening to the postseason-clinching victory on his car radio, fondly recalling the roar of the crowd and the sensation of blood and brain matter spraying across his face as he crushed a homeless mans skull with a cinder block in a secluded alley. Even a week later, Kevin Campbell, a 19-year-old from Potomac Gardens, provided vivid details about cheering on the momentous Nationals win on his smartphone as he leaned out the window of an SUV and gunned down a 17-year-old honor student, a pregnant woman, and a social worker he had mistaken for members of the gang MS-13. Around the city, car horns were blaring and screams could be heard echoing through the streets. Following the game, many fans told reporters how hard being a Nationals fan has been over the year given the teams losing records and the near-constant threat of being a homicide victim, but now, they say, part of that is history. Im just glad I spent that night strangling somebody special, Petworth resident Martin Fuller said. And not half drunk beating a stranger to death in some bar. The memory is better that way. Its been 79 years since a Washington D.C. team last made the MLB playoffs, meaning there arent many fans left who can remember back to what homicides they committed the last time this happened. That is, aside from 92-year-old Bethesda, MD resident Marvin Stadler who said that it has been worth the wait to witness another winning Washington team, this time while killing his wife, Beverly. It was 1933, I remember it well because that was the year I stabbed my brother, Franklin, in the woods, Stadler said, adding that while he was much younger back then, the thrill and rush remained all the same this time around. You lose some of the details as the years go by, but Ill never forget wiping blood off that knife with that newspaper that said Senators Clinch. That I remember like it was yesterday. For others who grew up hearing tales of their fathers involuntary manslaughter or ruthless homicides from that 1933 season, the Washington Nationals reaching the postseason represents something even more special than just an athletic achievement. For so many years my father would tell us the story about how he killed his business partner and threw him in the river on the night the Senators made the playoffs, diehard Nationals fan Greg Royster said. It makes me sad that he couldnt be here, but I know he was there in spirit murdering my wife right along with me as I watched the game in front of the TV. Im just happy Ill get to tell my sons about this team, he added. Well, at least the ones that I didnt have to kill for witnessing the first murder. 
2	When Dish Dropped FOX News, Never In Their Worst Nightmares Did They Expect THIS To Happen Dish Network knew that the decision to drop Fox News would be controversial, but we dont think they could have foreseen just how costly the decision would be. Just a matter of weeks after dropping Fox News, Dish has lost an extremely significant portion of their subscribers, and their numbers continue to plummet. According to recently reports, they lost nearly 90,000 subscribersthe equivalent to millions of dollars in revenue annually. Although Fox News suffered a decrease in ratings in the first week of being dropped, many believe the program will bounce back. Cable indicates that the show is still as popular as ever. We think theyve lost about 90,000 subscribers over the past two weeks tied to Fox News, claims Tim Carey, Executive Vice President of distribution for FNC and FBN. Dish reportedly received more than 350,000 calls and questions about their decision to drop the Fox. What do you think? Should Dish bring back Fox? 
3	DNA Nanobots Enter Living Organism For First Time - Human Trials Within 5 Years?Nicholas West Kurzweil goes on to envision eventually connecting our brains to Cloud computing for easy upload and download. Knowing this, the announcement that DNA nanobots have already moved beyond theory and have been successfully implanted in a living organism should get everyones attention. The cockroach has naturally become a testing ground for the neuroscience community. Insects and mice have long been tested upon in the areas of direct mind control. Cyborg insects in particular have also been tested for their surveillance potential. Its a strange new world where even remote controlled humans via the Internet is now possible, as well as the promise of DNA downloads from the Internet. This obsession with brain research and genetics is coalescing at a very rapid rate within the field of bioengineering that is now utilizing advancements in nanotechnology to open up the final doors to access all that encompasses any living structure. New Scientist explains the latest findings: There have been some other curious pronouncements from the robotics and artificial intelligence fields as of late that also pinpoint the arrival of these technologies within 5 years. At the risk of sounding like a Luddite, I do think that ethical considerations are lagging very far behind the rate of technological development. While there can be little doubt that such revolutionary technology could be used in a beneficial way, we would do well to look at where this technology originates from (primarily the military) and some of the other uses that have been suggested. For example, a recent article discussing the work of Dr. Rebecca Roache (yeah, curious, I know) opens with one line: Sentencing a criminal to 1,000 years in an artificial hell may one day become a reality. The work of Dr. Roache supposedly an ethicist postulates that the length of prison and the suffering endured is not commensurate with some of the most heinous crimes committed. Thus, using technology such as lifespan enhancement, mind uploading, altering perception of duration (through pills), and robot prison officers doors can be opened that could create a literal hell on earth for those selected for such treatment. No mention is made, however, of any positive uses such as learning at a far more rapid rate of speed, augmenting ones natural creativity to more easily enter the boundlessness of the human experience, or anything remotely arguing for individual empowerment and freedom. Only endless suffering and pain. What are your thoughts? Please leave your comments below. Recently by Nicholas West: At the risk of sounding like a Luddite, I do think that ethical How quaint. It is literally impossible for ethical considerations to keep up with technological development at this point. It is impossible because ethical considerations remain solely in the realm of linear thinking while technological development thrives in the realm of exponential growth. Obviously, its not too late to slow down. But good luck convincing the tech companies to do it, or get world governments to acquiesce to your concerns. 
2	Michelle Obama Caught Blatantly Disrespecting Saudi King In Huge Way... The First Lady has been known to be inappropriate and aggressive from time to time, but new reports reveal that she may have crossed the line. Michelle was reportedly caught disrespecting the Saudi king during the Obamas trip to pay their respects to him. According to reports, the Obamas cut their visit to India short to meet with Saudi King Salman, and Michelle was disappointed by the choice. Multiple photographs show the first lady pouting, and making no attempt to hide her feelings. Some speculate that Michelles bad attitude stem from Saudi Arabias long history of oppressing women. Still, if you make the choice to visit the King, you should probably get your act together. Lets not forget that whether we like it or not, the Obamas are representing Americans on their trips. What do you think of Michelles actions?

'One minute, everything was fine, and the next, Herbie was going what I could only describe as 'bananas,'' witness Harvey Korman told reporters. The sentient 1963 Volkswagen Beetle, in Rio De Janeiro to compete in the Grande Premio auto race, reportedly went bananas after unwittingly becoming mixed up with a smuggling ring, a plucky orphan pickpocket, and an angry bull. Despite the zany, trying nature of his ordeal, Herbie said he fully intends to ride again. 
3	Biometric National IDs and Passports: A False Sense of SecurityKatitza Rodriguez Regulators in several jurisdictions continue to romanticize the security and accuracy of face, fingerprint, and iris automatic recognition biometric technologies. But the existence of a significant amount of falsified biometric identification documents raisesquestions as to whether these technologies are too unreliable to prevent fraud, thus providing individuals and governments with a false sense of security. Automatic Face Recognition in Border Control Biometric data of individuals faces has been used since 2007 at various European border checks. Eleven airports in the United Kingdom now have e-passport gates that scan EU travelers faces and compare them to measurements of their facial features (i.e. biometrics), stored on a chip in their biometric passports. Although error rates of state-of-the-art facial recognition technologies have been reduced over the past 20 years, these technologies still cannot identify individuals with complete accuracy. In an incident in 2011, the Manchester e-passport gates let through a couple that had mixed up their passports. The UK Border Agency subsequently disabled the Manchester gates and launched an investigation. Digital Fingerprint Recognition U.S. law requires visitors to submit biometrics to a central database in the form of a digital fingerprint when seeking a visa or when entering the country. EU law further requires all passports for 26 countries in the Schengen area (the borderless zone within European countries) to contain digital fingerprint data on a chip. The United Kingdoma non-Schengen countrycontemplated introducing fingerprints voluntarily as part of a biometric passport 2.0, but ultimately decided against it. The UK government was preparing to launch a biometric identitymcard, for which it gathered fingerprints from 15,000 volunteers for the project. But the new government didnt believe ID cards would work and physically destroyed the pilot identity databases. However, in 2010, the UK National Policing Improvement Agency also conducted a pilot test to provide police officers with digital fingerprint scanners that could remotely match individuals fingerprints against a central database. The outcome of this project is unknown and, when questioned, the agencyrefused to disclose the error rates that resulted from its tests. In the Netherlands, the database storage of digital fingerprinting for travel documents was halted following questions over the reliability of the biometric technology. The Mayor of the City of Roermond reported that 21 percent of fingerprints collected in the city could not be used to identify any individuals. In April 2011, the Dutch Minister of Interior, in a letter to the Dutch House of Representatives, asserted that the number of false rejections (cases in which there is a no-hit for a lawful holder of a travel document) is too high to warrant using fingerprints for verification and identification. Currently, only fingerprints onto Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips in ID documents are being collected. A German court recently asked the EU Court of Justice for a preliminary ruling on the legality of biometric passports with RFID chips, which are readable from a distance. The German court questioned whether the EU regulation that requires biometric passports in Europe is compatible with Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the European Convention of Human Rights. In France, a report last year disclosed the questionable security of biometric passports. It showed that 10 percent of biometric passports were fraudulently obtained for illegal immigrants or people looking for a new identity. Following the issues with respect to biometric passports in the various EU countries, Members of the European Parliament have queried the European Commission about the reliability of these biometric passports. Iris Scan Identification In preparation for the UKs national ID card scheme, the UK government noted that there was little research indicating the reliability of iris scan identification. The government initially relied upon unpublished and unverified results from an airport trial. There were concerns that hard contact lenses, watery eyes and long eyelashes could prevent accurate scanning. The government then asked the National Physical Laboratory(NPL) to test the technology. The NPL chief research scientist stated in the news that technologies like iris scanning are accurate enough for the ID cards application but only provided they are implemented properly and one has appropriate fall-back processes to deal with exceptional cases. But a study has shown that it is difficult to enroll disabled individuals into an iris database. The success of enrollment also significantly varies depending on race and age, suggesting further errors if the technology were implemented. Additional testing of iris scanners has been initiated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. In summary, governments have failed to support their claim that such technologies actually improve security. These governments have not proved that the technology is reliable enough to prevent fraud. Of course, the reliability of the technology is only one aspect of the different problems around governments collection of biometrics, including privacy, security, profiling, discrimination, and other civil liberties. EFF will continue monitoring this issue. Stay tuned! You can support this information by voting on Reddit HERE 
1	Tied up with their efforts to crack their most intriguing case yet, sources confirmed Sunday that the Harbaugh Boys missed the first half of Super Bowl XLVII while attempting to solve The Mystery of Smugglers Cove. According to sources, the amateur sleuths and head football coachesJim, the younger, brown-haired, and more fiery and brash of the two, and John, the older, brown-haired brother, who is also fiery and brashfailed to make kickoff for the championship matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens while investigating the mysterious circumstances surrounding the theft of a cache of priceless gems, just the latest case taken on by the prodigious detective duo. In between finding the jewels, stopping that ring of diamond smugglers, and our unexpected excursion to Parrot Island, we completely forgot about the big game! Jim Harbaugh told reporters, untangling his headset and tugging his windbreaker over his shoulders before rushing into the 49ers' locker room. Luckily, Old Man Hobson didn't mind giving us a ride back to the Superdome in his seaplane. That's two favors we owe him now. The Harbaugh Boys have reportedly wowed football fans and law enforcement alike with their impressive feats both on and off the field. In their latest exploit, the pair reportedly worked together to uncover the secrets surrounding the disappearance of valuable gemstones loaned out to the New Orleans Natural History Museum by the Countess Grafton. Sources confirmed that the case led the brothers through a labyrinthine adventure featuring hidden passageways, a steamy bayou filled with deadly crocodiles, and a mysterious blonde-haired man in a trench coatall while enduring the hype and public relations challenges posed by Super Bowl media week. Both of us were real busy getting our squads ready for the Super Bowl, but once we got word that the museum had been robbed just days after a glass-bottomed boat went missing off the shores of Smugglers Cove, we knew something was a little too perfect about this perfect heist, said John Harbaugh, who according to sources is considered to be the more logical and rational of the two brothers by a negligible margin. And since we knew the police weren't going to figure out this one on their own, we realized we had to get to work. In the end, it turned out that old widow wasn't as innocent as she wanted us to believe, the Ravens coach added. According to sources, the Harbaugh Boys have over the years tackled dozens of cases, including The Secret of Skull Mountain and The Disappearing Floor, often with the assistance of their doughy friend and sidekick, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Though the sibling detectives have successfully solved every single whodunit they have taken onall while maintaining an impressive 89-38-1 coaching record between themthe boys' father, Jack Harbaugh, a former college football coach and renowned private investigator, isn't always so enthusiastic about his sons' interest in his line of work. 'Frankly, I wish they would stay out of this business. They're good detectives, but they should focus on their playbooks and leave the gumshoe bit to the professionals,' the elder Harbaugh said. 'And a lot of the time, it seems they spend more time screaming at each other than they do actually solving cases.' At press time, sources said the Harbaugh Boys had again become distracted from their head coaching duties upon taking on The Mystery of The Missing Run Defense.

2	Another Police Shooting Leaks... This Changes Everything [VIDEO] According to recent reports, a police department in Georgia has just released dash-cam footage to clear the name of Officer Robert Smith. Smith has become notorious for shooting and killing a man during a routine traffic stop. Smith pulled over an SUV in Emerson, for what seemed like a simple tag issues. The interaction began like any other. Let me go check everything and Ill be right back with you, Smith reportedly claimed before returning to his vehicle. While he was making the call, Smith discovered that 27-year-old Brent Brannon was facing several felony warrants. His crimes ranged from drug trafficking to gun charges. Smith asked Smith to step out of the car. He was equipped with a taser, but the situation quickly spun out of control. Drop the gun, shots fired! Shots fired! Smith is heard shouting. At the conclusion of the interaction, Brannon ended up dead. Now, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is studying the case. Will this footage clear him? 
1	Responding to recent public outcries over its handling of private data, search giant Google offered a wide-ranging and eerily well-informed apology to its millions of users Monday. 'We would like to extend our deepest apologies to each and every one of you,' announced CEO Eric Schmidt, speaking from the company's Googleplex headquarters. 'Clearly there have been some privacy concerns as of late, and judging by some of the search terms we've seen, along with the tens of thousands of personal e-mail exchanges and Google Chat conversations we've carefully examined, it looks as though it might be a while before we regain your trust.' Google expressed regret to some of its third-generation Irish-American users on Smithwood between Barlow and Lake. Added Schmidt, 'Whether you're Michael Paulson who lives at 3425 Longview Terrace and makes $86,400 a year, or Jessica Goldblatt from Lynnwood, WA, who already has well-established trust issues, we at Google would just like to say how very, truly sorry we are.' Schmidt's apology appeared suddenly at 9 a.m. Monday on Google's homepage, Chrome browser, and YouTube, as well as on every single Android-enabled cell phone, and sought to reassure Americans that the company would take all necessary steps to keep confidential information, from Social Security numbers to Gonorrhea test results, absolutely safe. Acknowledging that Google hasn't always been open about how it mines the roughly 800 terabytes of personal data it has gathered since 1998, Schmidt apologized to users particularly the 1,237,948 who take daily medication to combat anxietyfor causing any unnecessary distress, and he expressed regretespecially to Patricia Fort, a single mother taking care of Jordan, Sam, and Rebecca, ages 3, 7, and 9for not doing more to ensure that private information remains private. Monday's apology comes after the controversial launch of Google Buzz, a social networking platform that publicly linked Gmail users to their most e-mailed contacts by default. 'I'd like nothing more than to apologize in person to everyone we've let down, but as you can see, many of our users are rarely home at this hour,' said Google cofounder and president Sergey Brin, pointing to several Google Map street-view shots of empty bedroom and living room windows on a projection screen behind him. 'And, if last night's searches are any indication, Boston's Robert Hornick is probably out shopping right now for the spaghetti and clam sauce he'll be cooking tonight.' 'Either that, or hunting down that blond coworker of his, Samantha, whose Picasa photos he stares at every night,' Brin added. While admitting that security measures need to improve, Google officials also claimed that everyone makes mistakes, be it storing confidential data indefinitely or, say, 'having a few too many drinks on the evening of Jan. 23, driving home in a haze, striking a pedestrian on the corner of Mercer and Cavendish, speeding off, and then desperately searching online for hit and run laws, right, Karen?' 'Americans have every right to be angry at us,' Google spokesperson Janet Kemper told reporters. 'Though perhaps Dale Gilbert should just take a few deep breaths and go sit in his car and relax, like they tell him to do at the anger management classes he attends over at St. Francis Church every Tuesday night.' 'Breathe in, breathe out,' Kemper added. 'We wouldn't want you to have another incident, Dale. Not when you've been doing so well.' In an effort to make up for years of alarmingly invasive service, Google will automatically add $50 to all American bank accounts as a gesture of goodwill. The company has also encouraged feedback, explaining that users can type any concerns they may still have into any open browser window or, if they are members of Google Voice, 'simply speak directly into [their] phones right now.' Either way, the company said, 'We'll know.' So far, Google users across the country have responded cautiously to the company's public admission of wrongdoing, with some claiming they will be careful not to reveal any personal information from now on, and others ripping up their credit cards, unplugging all electronic devices from their outlets, and locking themselves in their bathrooms away from any cameras, keyboards, satellite dishes, or cell phones. 'I forgive Google, I forgive Google, I forgive Google,' said Ohio resident Darla Mackenzie, sitting on the edge of her bathtub, her head in her hands. 'Please, please, don't tell Jonathan about the things I have done.' 
3	New Factors in Personal Financial PlanningDavid Redick Why the US Dollar is Declining in Value and May Crash Here are the two major reasons the USD is dropping in value (purchasing power; example, how much bread would $1 buy in 1913, 1950, and 2013? Answer, 62% less in 1950, and 95% less in 2013!). 1. Monetary Inflation Causes Price Inflation: Monetary Inflation means excessive expansion of the money supply (the amount of cash and credit available) by the government and its Central Bank (ours is the Federal Reserve System, the Fed) which leads to Price Inflation (reduced value, i.e., purchasing power, of each monetary unit, such as the US Dollar). Since the Fed was created in 1913, the value (Purchasing Power) of the USD has dropped by over 95% due to excessive expansion of the money supply by the Fed (urged by the big-spending U.S. Congress). The fastest rate of dropping has been since Pres. Nixon ended the last ties of the Dollar to gold in 1971. Until then, nations could redeem 35 paper dollars for one ounce of gold. FDR ended redemption by mere citizens in 1933. We can all remember that a family car cost about $2,000 in the 70s, but is about $20,000 in 2013; a ten times increase! The same also applies to meat, bread, and clothes, etc. Housing spiked even higher (until the 2008 crash) due to phony loans, low rates, and easy terms from the Fed and Federal government (Fannie, Freddie, etc.). Thus, investors should be concerned about future losses due to the still-falling USD. The solutions (precious metals, and stronger foreign currencies) are discussed below. An Historic Time in World Economics For the first time in history; a) The primary reserve currency is worldwide (not just in areas it controls as when the British pound was dominant), and b) The currency is not convertible to precious metal (typically gold or silver), so is considered Fiat , where the issuing government declares its Face Value and it can be created out of thin air, as with the fiat USD since 1971. ALL fiat currency in history has failed (become worthless) and the USD is on this path of decline! We have created so many new dollars (to pay for wars and welfare) that it is losing its value (purchasing power) and nations and businesses are now avoiding using and owning it, or holding assets denominated in USD. Major nations (in particular Brazil, Russia, India, China, and S. Africa, the BRICS , are trading with each other in their own currencies. This is an ominous sign and could lead to the end of the USD as a dominant reserve currency and thus limit our ability to create new money to pay bills. When (not if) this happens, our debt and interest rates (and thus payments) will spike up and the value of the USD could fall by 50% to 80%. When I ask my friends and investors what they predict for the US economy during the next 20 years, I most often get one of these four scenarios: 1) We will muddle along and GDP will taper down. Our children will have a lower standard of living than we had in the 1900s. 2) There will be a rapid inflation (of the money supply and prices), then a depression, but its hard to tell when. A few economists think we will have a deflationary depression (falling prices, increasing currency value), but I predict that Congress and the Fed will keep using their QE methods of stimulation by creating more money, which always leads to inflation. 3) Congress will fear a crash and vote to end the US Dollar, and become about 20% of a new world currency (a basket of currencies ) run by the IMF. This means we will no longer be the worlds primary reserve currency and thus cannot create money to pay our bills. We will have to raise T-bill interest rates to attract buyers. Debt interest expenses will soar and we will default, but survive. Government spending (at home and abroad) will be cut, those people dependent on personal or corporate welfare (or in the military) will suffer. 4) The President will start a war (any reason or fake event will suffice) so then all bets and debts are off! Russia and China will join forces to fight with whomever we attack. Whether we win or lose, we will emerge broke and in a depression. In my opinion, the best, and least likely, choice would be for Congress to terminate the Fed and return to the gold standard. This ALWAYS works to bring more peace and prosperity for all (wars of aggression are expensive, so there are fewer or none). The essay in the link below shows a detailed plan to implement conversion from our present Fed Notes to gold-as-money, with private mints, redeemable paper notes, and gold weight as the unit of account. http://www.activistpost.com/2012/01/convert-usa-monetary-system-to-gold.html#more Now is the Time to Make Changes No matter which of the above happens, or some other calamity, the USA is in grave economic peril and it is time to consider protecting your wealth by: 1) Converting your cash, bonds, annuities, CDs, and other assets out of the USD to denomination in a stronger currency (issued by a country with low debt and spending, and a strong economic future, such as resource-based), and 2) Purchasing precious metals as a hedge against losses in the value of currency (metal values tend to go up as currency values fall). Take physical possession of your metals; a) because paper gold stocks, and ETFs can disappear or have no backing, and b) store where the the government cant confiscate it (domestic vaults and banks are easy for them to lock-up). Many investors are concerned about the drop in gold and silver prices since 2011, but they should expect recovery to new highs soon because; a) Governments and central banks fear/hate rising precious metal (PM) prices because they indicate currency values are falling. Thus they intervene in the market by selling some of their gold to distort the supply-demand pricing. FDR created the Exchange Stabilization Fund in 1933 for this purpose, and it has been active since 2011, along with other governments, to drive down PM prices, b) Private investors fear the paper certificates they own (such as SPDR Gold Shares, ticker GLD) have little or no gold backing so have been dumping this paper, and buying physical gold (allocated with their name on it! or personal possession). The sales of paper gold affect the spot price more than purchase of physical from dealers, so, along with part a) above, the PM prices have dropped, but c) Now that prices are lower, the banks and private investors are buying tons of physical gold (banks to boost their reserves, and people to replace the paper) supplies are short. As this demand continues, basic economics says that prices will rise. Experienced Advisors like Eric Sprott, CEO of Sprott.com, are predicting new highs within 12 months or less. Thus, todays low prices should be viewed as a buying opportunity. 3) Talk to a professional Financial Advisor (or Planner) to get guidance. Look in the phone Yellow Pages, or ask friends for referrals. The problem here is that most only offer traditional advice. In choosing a foreign currency you must look beyond and beneath todays pricesand currency exchange rates, and look at fundamentals such as national debt , spending, and unfunded future liabilities (health, pensions, etc.,) to forecast trends in a nations economic strength and currency value. Foreign exchange markets determine the market value of one currency vs. others, but this can be deceiving because since 2000 most are falling in value together. These values and trends are ignored by virtually all traditional brokers and dealers of insurance, annuities, CDs, stocks, and bonds. This is not surprising since most cannot make commissions by selling precious metals or foreign currency. To help you get started, items 1 to 4 below are excerpts from Chapter 6 of my book Investors Guide to Avoiding Currency-Related Losses. All of the firms shown work with metals and currencies, either as Advisors or Sellers of products. Most are contrarian, and not likely to be mentioned by traditional Brokers and Advisors. Search the Internet for others. Many offer newsletters and reports (free and paid). 1. Precious Metal Dealers:Europacmetals, InvestmentRarities.com, Caminocompany.com, Monex.com, JimsCoins.net, Blanchardonline.com, Goldmoney.com, and HardAssetsAlliance.com (click on choices at top of HardAssets home page; also go to caseyresearch.com/2013-gold-investors-guide). The above are established and there are many others. (check the Internet or your phone Yellow Pages). When choosing a dealer, investigate to try and be sure they are reliable. 2. Precious Metal Storage: Once you own some precious metal (PM), where do you keep it? Most dealers work with domestic or foreign vault firms you can use. But banks and commercial vaults are not safe (even overseas) because the US 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 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 piece of 4 to 6 inch diameter PVC pipe from your local hardware, with end-caps glued on, will work. Plant a bush over it to mark the location. Tell 1 or 2 trusted people where it is in case you die, or forget. 3. Foreign Currencies and Equities:a. Euro Pacific Capital, Inc. (EuroPacificFunds.com, EuroPac.net) is a broker-dealer that offers a variety of services and products, including seven mutual funds they created (for nation diversity), and precious metals. They promote geographic and currency diversification. b. Merkinvestments.com offers 4 foreign currency funds (merkfunds.com), and reports. Also see vanguard.com, c. EverBank Financial Corp. (EVER, Everbank.com) is a US bank that offers savings accounts in foreign currencies. Find more on the Internet. 4. Consultants and Advisors: a. EuroPac.net, and EuroPacificFunds.com/about (Asset Management), b. Hardassetsalliance.com, and Caseyresearch.com, c. Windrockwealth.com, bfi-capital.com, d. Sprott.com, and e. Fisherinvestments.com. Some traditional sources of info are; a. cnnmoney.com/expert, b. 101 Ways to Build Wealth, c. marketwatch.com , newworldinvestor.com , and d. theprudentspeculator.com. Find more on the Internet. The key point is; How much will your dollars buy when you eventually cash-in these traditional investments if prices have gone up faster than your investments? Everyone born after 1933 (now 80!) has always lived with price inflation caused by excessive monetary inflation (new money and credit issued by the Fed), so tends to treat it as normal. The bad news is, all factors (USD value, spending, debt, wars) point to things getting worse, ending in a possible crash of 50% or more in the USD value! If the USD loses its reserve currency status (which I think is 90% likely in 1 to 10 years), its value will crash and prices (in USD) will soar. Wise managers of their personal and family assets will study the above issues carefully, and make changes before it is too late. Good Luck!

2	Bruce Caitlyn Jenner Challenged Tom Selleck, Learns A Quick Lesson After Bruce Caitlyn Jenner revealed her new female identity and look on the cover of Vanity Fair, she became an instant sensation among liberals. Some even went so far as to call her a goddess. Of course, not everyone is accepting her plastic-surgery-fueled approach to womanhood. During a recent interview, Tom Selleck spoke out against plastic surgery. Ive never done it, Selleck said when he was asked about the topic. I dont have a problem with it as long as its not just vanityI dont have anything really against it, if I can look at it as a tool and not a kind of narcissistic manifestation of vanity, which it probably is anyway. But I do think theres a difference between that kind of vanity and your work. If it allows you to do your job and be accepted in a larger variety of things, I think its okay. Sellecks points make sense: surgery isnt a quick fix for confidence and self-acceptance. What do you think? Do you support Sellecks views of surgery? 
2	Firefighter Sick Of Affirmative Action Gets Attacked By Liberals After He Does THIS According to recent reports, a New York City firefighter is facing major backlash after speaking out against affirmative action. Thomas Buttaro, the firefighter in question, made quite the statement when he wore an anti-affirmative action T-shirt to work. Now, one judge is claiming that by exercising his freedom of speech he created a hostile work environment. The FDNY is a para-military organization and may restrict a uniformed members appearance so long as the restrictions are rationally related to the departments legitimate interests, Administrative Law Judge Alessandra Zorgniotti told reporters, claiming that Buttaro may be guilty of insubordination. Theyre disciplining him for something theyve never disciplined anyone for before, Adam Weiss, Buttaros lawyer, told reporters. Weiss claims that Buttaro has worn the t-shirt for years. Its a First Amendment issue. This is about the right of someone being able to express an opinion. Its not about discrimination. Were going to fight this for as long as it takes to get vindicated, Weiss told the New York Post. There are only two sides to the story, and it looks like [the judge] took the prosecutions side of the story and ignored ours. What do you think? Was Buttaro within his rights to wear the t-shirt? Should his freedom of speech be protected?

2	BREAKING: North Korea Just Overthrew Dictator Kim Jong Un According to shocking new reports, North Koreas Organization and Guidance Department (OGD), a powerful group of officials, has stopped taking orders from Jong-un. This follows rumors that the dictator has been overthrown, and is back by his disappearance over the last week. Originally, authorities claimed that Jong-un was simply recovering from ankle surgery. According to reports, the dictators sister is currently stepping in. Pyongyang is under lockdown, and the military has been put on a state of high alert. Even the elite are currently banned from entering or leaving. In fact, a former North Korean counter-intelligence officer is now claiming that Kim Jong-Un has become a puppet leader rather than being in charge of the nation. The claim was made in September at a conference in Holland. Of course, the lockdown puts pressure on Jin-sungs claim. That type of extreme action is usually reserved for when a coup has taken place or is highly suspected. What do you think of what is happening in North Korea? 
3	Biden Brainwashes New Generation of Military Men; China Is Next?Keelan Balderson, Contributor Standing with the pearly white grin of a used car salesmen, the warmonger told the soon-to-be killing machines: Those warriors sent a message to the world that if you harm America, we will follow you to the end of the earth, even though the military and intelligence services of America consistently struck first, meddled and then helped events like 9/11 come to fruition. Your generation, the 9/11 generation, is more than worthy of the proud legacy that you will inherit today; a legacy that includes over a million innocent deaths, resulting from multiple illegal and unjust conflicts of aggression across the world. Starting with the occupation of Afghanistan, despite no evidence of Bin Ladens involvement in the September 11th terrorist attacks and a willingness from the Taliban to cooperate should the proof be presented [1], and soon moving on to the slaughtering of the Iraqi people, based on lies about Saddams WMD capabilities. On the Libyan conflict Biden had the stomach churning gall to say they helped people! We learned during the Libya campaign, where we saved thousands of innocents and help topple a murderous dictator, that theres almost nothing, nothing we cannot accomplish when NATO and our partners act decisively. Far from a legal and successful humanitarian mission, the US involvement in Libya circumvented the Constitution by going around the elected Congress to the United Nations [2], and resulted in thousands of innocent civilian deaths. NATO literally joined forces with Al Qaeda to bomb a well-functioning sovereign nation in to submission [3], which is now operated under Sharia Law by Muslim extremists [4], who are murdering and torturing black Libyans and pro-Gaddafi citizens [5]. But what will the next generation of dumb, stupid animals, as described by former National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger, be used for? According to Biden, Cyber Terrorists and China are the next bogeymen to hand over our liberty for and to blow into smithereens in order to protect some nonsensical perception of national interests. Winding down these long wars is enabling us to replace and rebalance our foreign policy, to take on the full range of challenges that will shape the 21st century, challenges different than those of the 20th century. said Biden. The most critical relationship to get right is that between the United States and China. Every day the affairs of our nations and the livelihoods of our citizens become more connected, he stated. As noted by the Daily Mail: President Barack Obama, who is running for re-election with Biden in November, unveiled a new military strategy earlier this year that would pivot U.S. attention to Asia as troops return home from the wars. The threat from China at this stage is purely an economic one, ironically created by the US Governments out-of-control borrowing, the Federal Reserves devaluation of the Dollar, and the corporations strategy of jumping ship to China for cheaper labor. But the military arent usually used for handshakes, so a war with Asia is not such a wild prediction. And young men are jumping at the chance to be the jackboots of the world: Im ready to sacrifice for those I love. Im ready to go. Send me! said starry-eyed 23-year-old Te Jay Espe of Stanwood, Wash. I know this country has given me a lot and I want to give back, Im willing to give my life, said J.C. Vant Land, 22, of Hull, Iowa. Yes a lot! Such as grope downs and cancer-causing scanners at the airport, and a debt crisis that he and his children (if he isnt blown to bits before having them) will have to pay off. Check out the Daily Mails coverage of the speech. The propaganda goes as far as using the admitted military psyop of the toppling Saddam statue!

2	Hillary Stepped Off The Private Jet, Watch What Happens IMMEDIATELY After If you dont think the media pushed a Clinton presidency, you need to watch this. For months, Donald Trump has been saying that the mainstream media did everything in their power to rig the election against him. Those claims were given merit this week when footage captured what happened immediately after FBI Director James Comey announced he would not be recommending that Hillary Clinton be charged for her use of a personal email server. Clinton was reportedly flying to a campaign stop in Cleveland, Ohio when the shocking news was announced. When she landed, the mainstream media demonstrated just how biased they really are. Clinton arrogantly strutted off the plane in Cleveland, where she was immediately greeted by a group of reporters cheering for the fact she wasnt being charged. The journalists immediately pushed for a group photograph with her. Corruption got to an all-time high when one reported called Clinton a sometimes misunderstood person who fought off a lot of prejudice. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	Irene Smalls, 45, an office manager at Riverside Property Management, announced Monday that she has found the 'perfect clip art' for the invitation to an upcoming office Thanksgiving party. Riverside Property Management's Irene Smalls. Slated for officewide distribution this Friday, the invitation to the Nov. 21 celebration features clip-art images of a turkey, a pile of leaves and a rake, a 'horn of plenty,' and lighthearted cartoons of boy and girl pilgrims. 'I honestly think this is the best invitation I've ever done,' Smalls said. 'Everything's there: pilgrims, Thanksgiving food, autumn stuff. It's a perfect balance.' Riverside Property Management's unofficial party organizer, Smalls spent nearly two days deciding which copyright-free illustrations to choose from the company's collection of clip-art booklets and Office Depot-purchased CD-ROMs. 'Choosing art for an invitation is trickier than you'd think,' Smalls said. 'It should be tasteful but not stuffy, fun but not juvenile.' Offering insight into her artistic process, Smalls revealed that she nixed an image of a Norman Rockwell-like family seated at a dinner table for thematic reasons. 'The dinner scene was nice, but since this party will be a casual office gathering with punch and cupcakes, I didn't think it quite fit,' Smalls said. 'Then again, I guess you could argue that our office is like one big family, so it's appropriate. In the end, though, I decided that if I used it, the reason probably wouldn't come across. So you see, it just depends how you look at it. There are lots of shades of gray when you're talking about clip art.' Smalls also left out an image of a Native American man carrying ears of corn. 'I didn't want to make [leasing agent] Joseph [White], who's one-quarter Indian, feel uncomfortable,' Smalls said. 'I think a lot of that 'Heap Big Injun' stuff reminds him of the sad things that happened to his people.' Smalls said her formidable clip-art-selection skills are the result of years of trial and error. In 1987, she learned a valuable lesson when choosing images for a church pancake-breakfast flyer. 'I wanted it to be eye-catching, so I went to Bartz Party Supply and picked out some classy pictures from their clip-art book, including a couple ballroom-dancing, two hands clinking champagne glasses, and a top hat with white gloves and a cane,' Smalls said. 'Now, that would've worked just dandy for a wedding or New Year's Eve invitation but, as I found out the hard way, not for a pancake breakfast. Only eight people showed up, and some parishioners complained that they thought the breakfast was going to be a ritzy affair. They were too intimidated to attend.' The invitation. Rather than give up, Smalls resolved to 'stick it out and get better at clip art.' She now boasts of being able to find the ideal clip art for any occasion. 'I love to rise to any clip-art challenge,' Smalls said. 'Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, July 4... you name it, I've got the perfect clip art for it. I even have a Star Of David for our Jewish friends.' Smalls' appreciation of clip art is heartening to Mitch Sklar, a Buffalo, NY, freelance artist who creates illustrations for the clip-art market. 'We clip artists work in near-total anonymity: No one knows who we are, and we barely ever know who's out there enjoying our clip artistry,' said Sklar, who designed the leaves and rake Smalls used for her invitation. 'So when I hear that someone appreciated my work enough to use it in their PTA newsletter or blood-donation sign-up sheet, I feel really proud.' Smalls takes equal pride in her creations. 'Making invitations and flyers is the most rewarding thing about my job, I think,' Smalls said. 'Even though I can barely draw a stick figure, doing this stuff makes me feel like a real creative artist.' 
3	Cell Phone Radiation Damages Male Fertility: New Studyselfnews Post Previous research has suggested that Radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) emitted by the devices can have a detrimental effect on male fertility. Most of the global adult population own mobile phones, and around 14% of couples in high and middle income countries have difficulty conceiving. A team led by Dr Fiona Mathews, of Biosciences at the University of Exeter, conducted a systematic review of the findings from ten studies, including 1,492 samples, with the aim of clarifying the potential role of this environmental exposure. Participants in the studies were from fertility clinics and research centres, and sperm quality was measured in three different ways: motility (the ability of sperm to move properly towards an egg), viability (the proportion of sperm that were alive) and concentration (the number of sperm per unit of semen). Dr Mathews said: Given the enormous scale of mobile phone use around the world, the potential role of this environmental exposure needs to be clarified. This study strongly suggests that being exposed to radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation from carrying mobiles in trouser pockets negatively affects sperm quality. This could be particularly important for men already on the borderline of infertility, and further research is required to determine the full clinical implications for the general population. The results were consistent across in vitro studies conducted under controlled conditions and observational in vivo studies conducted on men in the general population. Effect of mobile telephones on sperm quality: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Fiona Mathews et al is published today in the journal Environment International.

1	MTV executive Phillip Blanchard, 42, grounded his 15-year-old son Joshua Monday, after the alternative-rock band Good Charlotte failed to sustain its popularity among viewers of the cable music station. 'Joshua needs to learn that his choices have consequences,' said Blanchard, who took away his teenage son's credit-card privileges for the week. 'Maybe next time, Joshua will think twice before over-hyping some pop-punk crap.' As additional punishment, Blanchard had Joshua organize the family's extensive video library of Road Rules episodes chronologically. 
2	Hillary On Wednesday morning, MSNBC reported on a new poll from Quinnipiac University, which shows Hillary Clinton with growing, negative favorability ratings in Iowa, Virginia, and Colorado. Mika Brzezinski, the co-host, seemed shocked by the numbers as she read the unfavorable ratings in some crucial swing states. The poll also shows that Clinton struggles when she faces leading GOP candidates. In Iowa, for instance, the former secretary of state would lose by a wide margin to Jeb Bush, Scott Walker and Marco Rubio. Those numbers are stunning, Joe Scarborough comments. If it wasnt for Donald Trump, the biggest story of the summer would be Hillary Clintons problems solidifying herself inside the party, Chuck Todd commented. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Are you surprised by Clintons poll numbers? 
2	Boston Bomber Dzhokar Tsarnaev Has A Disgusting Message For Christians When Dzhokar Tsarnaev, a suspected bomber in the Boston Marathon, was asked to comment about the note he scribbled in the boat he took refuge in while attempting to dodge the police, he claimed he wrote the note in honor of his brother. Apparently Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed the night before in a shootout with the police. I do not mourn because his soul is very much alive. God has a plan for each person, Tsarnaev wrote in his note, Mine was to hide in this boat and shed some light on our actions. Tsarnave also continued on to discuss his faith, saying, we Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all know you are fighting men who look into the barrel of your gun and see heaven. Now how can you compete with that? As a suspect, Tsarnaev is currently facing charges for using a weapon of mass destruction. He is also being charged with murder of three Bostonians. What do you think? Should he be punished for his actions? 
1	A report published in the Aug. 25 issue of The New England Journal Of Medicine indicates that the average American receives 87 percent of his or her daily vitamin intake through the hair. An Aveda Institute rendering of the nutrition absorbed through hair. 'Over the past five years, the field of hair-nutrient technology has evolved at a stunning rate,' said Dr. Irving Kallberg, follicular nutritionist and author of the report. 'Not surprisingly, shampoo has now surpassed food as the primary source of vitamins for the vast majority of U.S. citizens.' According to Kallberg, a single quarter-ounce application of a high-vitamin shampoo like Clairol's Herbal Essences or Pantene Pro-V provides a full day's supply of Vitamins A, B, C, D and E, as well as minerals like calcium, zinc and magnesium. By supplementing shampoo use with a quality revitalizing conditioner like Aussie Hair Salad, Kallberg said, the user can meet all of his or her nutritional needs. 'A serving of Paul Mitchell shampoo contains more protein than a 14-ounce New York strip steak,' Kallberg said. 'And, unlike meat, Paul Mitchell products give your hair a healthy, radiant shine.' 'I wash my hair at least six times a day,' said Robert Meader, a self-described 'health nut' from Hermosa Beach, CA. 'I used to be a vegetarian, but now I'm on a strict daily regimen of Nexus Protein-Plus shampoo and Aveda clarifying rinse. And you know what? I've never felt better.' Willow Lake shampoo, which meets the USRDA for 11 essential vitamins and minerals. Across the U.S., restaurants are jumping on the bandwagon, offering patrons a wide selection of hair-care treatments along with their meals. Said Denny's vice-president of operations Ken St. Croix: 'We currently offer a $9.99 meal deal featuring choice of entree with soup, shampoo, salad, rinse, potato, conditioner, choice of beverage and blow-dry, with dessert and styling gel available for $2 extra.' Food manufacturers are getting into the act, as well. Campbell's is developing a line of deep-cleansing and conditioning soups. Spokespersons for Chef Boyardee said the company has an anti-dandruff ravioli in the works. And Gatorade is planning a September rollout for its new line of 'Sport-Sheen' athletic shampoos, which promise to 'replace the vital carbohydrates and electrolytes your hair loses during exercise.' Experts say the trend is only beginning. 'With fatty, empty-calorie-laden Big Macs and pizzas becoming the norm, Americans' reliance on hair-washings for their basic nutritional needs will only increase,' said New York University dietitian Penny Raskin. 'By 2005, the family dinner hour will be all but obsolete, replaced by the family shower.' 'Basically,' Raskin said, 'the secret to good health is simple: regular exercise, plenty of sleep and a good pH-balanced diet.' 
2	Muslims Demand Army Change Its Dress Code To Include Turbans And Beards The Department of Defense released regulations on Wednesday to protect the rights of service membersto wear a turban, scarf, or beard, to display their religious beliefsas long as the practices dont interferewith military discipline, order, or readiness. We welcome the important decision to broaden the religious rights of American military personnel,a statement from the Council on American-Islamic Relations read, We hope it will allow all those inuniform to practice their faith while serving the nation. Eligible areas for religious accommodation include hair, grooming practices, religious body art, such astattoos or body piercings.Requests for religious accommodation will be decided on a person-by-person basis, but will ultimately bedenied only if the item interferes with the use of military equipment, poses a health or safety hazard, orinterferes with wearing a military gear or the completion of the military mission. The new regulations are receiving praise by leaders of national Muslim American groups, but is stillreceiving criticism from some Sikh American organizations, who feel that it is not adequate enough. Someindividuals, for instance, may still be turned down. Unfortunately, this continues to make us have to choose between our faith and serving our country,said Jasjit Singh, executive director of the Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund, It has been awork in progress, but we were hoping they would go further. What do you think? Should turbans and tattoos be a go in the military?

2	Obamas Loose Immigration Policy Allows Mexican Cartel To Cross Into America And Kidnap American Girl... According to recent reports, the Mexican Gulf Cartel recently took a man at gunpoint from his home in a sleepy town in the United States. Their goal was to transport him back into Mexico. The man was taken at the end of August, where he was floated on a raft over the Rio Grande. According to Mexicos Attorney Generals Office, he was then taken to the border city Reynosa, in Mexico. According to Breitbart, Mexican Federal Police officers rescued the unidentified U.S. citizen after raiding a cartel stash house in Texas. The rescue came at a time when the kidnappers had been demanding ransom for the mans life. What do you think? Does this incident highlight the dangers of an insecure border? Does Obama need to be booted from the White House so we can start taking action? 
1	DCResponding to pressure from vocal consumer groups and gene-gineering giant Merck-Maibatsu-Pfizer Monday, the FDA announced it will allow the DNA of America's 16th president to be sold without a doctor's prescription. 'The legalization of OTC Abe is great news for expectant parents, gene-therapy patients, and history buffs,' said MMP marketing director Wayne Lincoln. 'Americans will no longer be shackled by the genetic heritage of their forefathers, a tyranny of flesh which condemns all men to be created equal. Now, four score and seven credits will ensure that presidential DNA for the people shall not vanish from the earth.' Those using Lincoln's DNA are warned that side effects may include mild gigantism, arthritis, and severe depression. 
1	Michael Chandler looks out the windows of his sun room, past the swimming pool and guest cottage, to the wide backyard where his two children are playing with their pet dalmatian, Scotty. At a time when Americans everywhere are sharing the struggle of a once-in-a-generation recession, Chandler can't help but wonder how he and his family fell through the cracks. 'It's just not fair,' said the 49-year-old real estate developer and grandson of oil baron Duncan Chandler. 'Everyone is worrying about an uncertain future and coming together to express their outrage, and I don't get to be a part of it.' Staring out at the ornate garden where workers were installing a large marble fountain, Chandler sighed and added, 'It's like I don't even exist.' According to the multimillionaire, the past 18 months have been incredibly difficult to endure, as he is often left feeling excluded from an American populace that includes millions who struggle every day to make ends meet. Chandler, who watched helplessly as his enormous fortune easily withstood the market freefall, has been 'completely left out' of one of this nation's most significant cultural moments. 'Everybody's suffering,' Chandler said. 'And here I am, not scrimping and saving at all, with no demoralizing periods of financial hardship, or frantic weeks living paycheck to paycheck. What about me, you know? Where's my struggle?' 'Everyone's supposed to get a fair shake at this misery,' Chandler added. 'Even incredibly wealthy people of privilege like me.' Throughout the economic downturn, Chandler has tried to tap into the recession and experience some of the sorrow and widespread desperation he has so cruelly been denied. Sadly, all of his attempts have been thwarted by his seemingly insurmountable stack of riches. According to longtime financial adviser Ben Schultz, Chandler 'constantly' inquires as to whether any of his diversely invested mutual funds are losing money, but is always let down. 'Michael's portfolio is better than ever, to be honest,' Schultz told reporters. 'In fact, his only real connection to the recession is that he helped to cause it by artificially inflating home prices and making millions off unstable derivatives trading.' Chandler has been so devastated by his inability to feel the same anguish and hopelessness the rest of the country is enduring that he took the extraordinary step last week of speaking openly with a chauffeur about how hard the recession has been on everyone. He even went so far as to tip the driver 50 percent less than usual in an attempt to show the man that he, too, was hurting financially. 'I kept waiting for him to say, 'Well, times are tough on all of us,' or 'Who isn't feeling the pinch these days, eh?'' Chandler said. 'But he just seemed really angry.' Despite his best efforts, Chandler told reporters he knows that someday the crisis uniting so many of his fellow Americans will pass, and that the far-reaching anger will give way to the worship of money that preceded it. But until then, he admitted, it will hurt to be excluded. 'Every month they announce tens of thousands of layoffs,' Chandler said, 'and every time, I'm not one of them. No matter what I say or do, it'll never be me. My only memory of this historic point in time will be the prosperity I have always known.' Added Chandler, 'Dear God, when's this recession going to end?' 
3	86 Civil Liberties Groups and Internet Companies Demand an End to NSA SpyingRainey Reitman In an open letter to lawmakers sent today, the groups call for a congressional investigatory committee, similar to the Church Committee of the 1970s. The letter also demands legal reforms to rein in domestic spying and demands that public officials responsible for this illegal surveillance are held accountable for their actions. The letter denounces the NSAs spying program as illegal, noting: This type of blanket data collection by the government strikes at bedrock American values of freedom and privacy. This dragnet surveillance violates the First and Fourth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, which protect citizens right to speak and associate anonymously and guard against unreasonable searches and seizures that protect their right to privacy. The letter was accompanied by the launch of StopWatching.us, a global petition calling on Congress to provide a public accounting of the United States domestic spying capabilites and to bring an end to illegal surveillance. As Mark Rumold, a staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation who focuses on government transparency and national security, says, Now is the time for Congress to act. We dont need a narrow fix to one part of the PATRIOT Act; we need a full public accounting of how the United States is turning sophisticated spying technology on its own citizens, we need accountability from public officials, and we need an overhaul of the laws to ensure these abuses can never happen again. The Electronic Frontier Foundation is urging concerned netizens to join this campaign by signing their names to StopWatching.us. Dear Members of Congress, We write to express our concern about recent reports published in the Guardian and theWashington Post, and acknowledged by the Obama Administration, which reveal secret spying by the National Security Agency (NSA) on phone records and Internet activity of people in the United States. The Washington Post and the Guardian recently published reports based on information provided by a career intelligence officer showing how the NSA and the FBI are gaining broad access to data collected by nine of the leading U.S. Internet companies and sharing this information with foreign governments. As reported, the U.S. government is extracting audio, video, photographs, e-mails, documents, and connection logs that enable analysts to track a persons movements and contacts over time. As a result, the contents of communications of people both abroad and in the U.S. can be swept in without any suspicion of crime or association with a terrorist organization. Leaked reports also published by the Guardian and confirmed by the Administration reveal that the NSA is also abusing a controversial section of the PATRIOT Act to collect the call records of millions of Verizon customers. The data collected by the NSA includes every call made, the time of the call, the duration of the call, and other identifying information for millions of Verizon customers, including entirely domestic calls, regardless of whether those customers have ever been suspected of a crime. The Wall Street Journal has reported that other major carriers, including ATT and Sprint, are subject to similar secret orders. This type of blanket data collection by the government strikes at bedrock American values of freedom and privacy. This dragnet surveillance violates the First and Fourth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, which protect citizens right to speak and associate anonymously and guard against unreasonable searches and seizures that protect their right to privacy. We are calling on Congress to take immediate action to halt this surveillance and provide a full public accounting of the NSAs and the FBIs data collection programs. We call on Congress to immediately and publicly: 1. Enact reform this Congress to Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act, the state secrets privilege, and the FISA Amendments Act to make clear that blanket surveillance of the Internet activity and phone records of any person residing in the U.S. is prohibited by law and that violations can be reviewed in adversarial proceedings before a public court; 2. Create a special committee to investigate, report, and reveal to the public the extent of this domestic spying. This committee should create specific recommendations for legal and regulatory reform to end unconstitutional surveillance; 3. Hold accountable those public officials who are found to be responsible for this unconstitutional surveillance. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Access Please visit and support the Electronic Frontier Foundation for Internet freedom and privacy. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	Ann Coulter Makes Huge Announcement About Donald Trump... Youll Love This Its no secret that Ann Coulter is a huge supporter of Donald Trump. She has nothing but positive things to say about his lead in the primary polls, and some even suspect that she could end up as a member of his cabinet. During an appearance at the Eagle Forums Collegian Summit in Washington, D.C., Coulter told her audience that Trump is more likely to be the next president than Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio. I would like to be the head of Donald Trumps Homeland Security, Coulter added, claiming that she doesnt think its that hard to figure out. Ill get it all done before breakfast, she jested. I could kind of guess who the criminals are going to be at least 50 percent of the time. Coulter also claimed that she longed for past days, when migrants were required to prove their heartiness to the United States before they were welcomed into the country. There was no pussyfooting around, she added. Were assimilating you, youre here and youre going to be an American. There will be no celebration of Cinco de Mayo, there will be no Ramadan. In fact, there wont even be a Feast of the Immaculate Conceptionwe are an Anglo-Protestant country, and you will learn about the Battle of Valley Forge. What do you think? Do you support Coulter and her views on Homeland Security? Would you be excited to see her in Trumps cabinet? 
3	FBI Quietly Ramps Up Biometrics ProgramsBy Jennifer Lynch Being a job seeker isnt a crime. But the FBI has made a big change in how it deals with fingerprints that might make it seem that way. For the first time, fingerprints and biographical information sent to the FBI for a background check will be stored and searched right along with fingerprints taken for criminal purposes. The change, which the FBI revealed quietly in a February 2015 Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), means that if you ever have your fingerprints taken for licensing or for a background check, they will most likely end up living indefinitely in the FBIs NGI database. Theyll be searchedthousands of times a day by law enforcement agencies across the countryeven if your prints didnt match any criminal records when they were first submitted to the system. This is the first time the FBI has allowed routine criminal searches of its civil fingerprint data. Although employers and certifying agencies have submitted prints to the FBI for decades, the FBI says it rarely retained these non-criminal prints. And even when it did retain prints in the past, they were not readily accessible or searchable. Now, not only will these printsand the biographical data included with thembe available to any law enforcement agent who wants to look for them, they will be searched as a matter of course along with all prints collected for a clearly criminal purpose (like upon arrest or at time of booking). This seems part of an ever-growing movement toward cataloguing information on everyone in Americaand a movement that wont end with fingerprints. With the launch of the face recognition component of NGI, employers and agencies will be able to submit a photograph along with prints as part of the standard background check. As weve noted before, one of FBIs stated goals for NGI is to be able to track people as they move from one location to another. Having a robust database of face photos, built out using non-criminal records, will only make that goal even easier to achieve. This change will impact a broad swath of Americans. Its not just prospective police officers or childcare workers who have to submit to fingerprint background checks. In Texas, for example, youll need to give the government your prints if you want to be an engineer, doctor, realtor, stockbroker, attorney, or even an architect. The California Department of Justice says it submits 1.2 million sets of civil prints to the FBI annually. And, since 1953, all jobs with thefederal government have required a fingerprint checknot just for jobs requiring a security clearance, but even for part-time food service workers, student interns, designers, customer service representatives, and maintenance workers. The FBI seems to think we should all be OK with this because it has (ostensibly) given people notice and because the program is limited to only those people who are required by federal or state rules to provide prints. But in many parts of the country, this could amount to a very large percentage of workers (including each and every attorney at EFF)and for many people, especially the poor and underemployed, opting out of this program by choosing a different line of work is truly a not a choice at all. This is not OK. The government should not collect information on Americans for a non-criminal purpose and then use that same information for criminal purposesin effect submitting the data of Americans with no ties to the criminal justice system to thousands of criminal searches every day. This violates our democratic ideals and our societal belief that we should not treat people as criminals until they are proven guilty. It also subjects innocent Americans to the very real risk that they will be falsely linked to a crime. In 2004, the FBI mistakenly linked American attorney Brandon Mayfield to a bombing in Madrid based solely on forensic fingerprint evidence. The FBI seized his property, and he was imprisoned for two weeks before agents finally recognized their error and apologized.Researchers have postulated large face recognition databases could also result in false matches. This means that many people will be presented as suspects for crimes they didnt commit. Unfortunately, individuals dont have much recourse. The only way you can get your prints out of the FBIs database and stop this repeated invasion of privacy is either with a court order or if the agency that requires your prints to be collected also requests for them to be removed. There appears to be no way for an individual to ask to have their prints removed on their own[1] We are disappointed that the FBI chose to go down this path. It could just as easily have designed its database to keep non-criminal data separate from criminal data. Or even better, the FBI could go back to its old practices and not keep the data at all. As Privacy SOS reported earlier this month, the FBI is looking for new ways to collect biometrics out in the fieldand not just fingerprints, but face recognition-ready photographs as well. The FBI recently issued a request for quotations (RFQ) to build out its mobile biometrics capabilities. Specifically, its looking for software that can be used on small Android-based mobile devices like Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets to collect fingerprints and face images from anyone officers stop on the street. If the plan goes through, it will be the first time the FBI will be able to collect fingerprints and face images out in the field and search them against its Next Generation Identification (NGI) database. According to the RFQ, FBIs current mobile collection tools are not optimized for mobile operations because they are large and are limited in scope to determining if a person has possible terrorist links (in the U.S. or abroad) or is likely to pose a threat to the U.S. This plan appears to be a broad expansion of the FBIs RISC program. RISC provides mobile fingerprinting tools to determine whether someone is an Individual of Special Concern by allowing access in the field to a database of wanted persons, known or appropriately suspected terrorists, sex offenders, and persons of special interest. The FBI says RISC is intended for time-critical situations and to identify a limited subset of people within its criminal fingerprint database. But now it appears FBI intends to use its mobile biometrics collection tools much more broadly. The biggest concern with this new mobile program is that it appears it will allow (and in fact, encourage) agents to collect face recognition images out in the field and use these images to populate NGIsomething the FBI stated in Congressional testimony it would not do. Specifically, in 2012, Deputy Assistant Director Jerome Pender stated: Only criminal mug shot photos are used to populate the national repository. Query photos and photos obtained from social networking sites, surveillance cameras, and similar sources are not used to populate the national repository. But the new RFQ contradicts this because it appears the desired software would allow officers to submit non-mug shot photos to NGI. The RFQ says the FBI is looking for a mobile biometrics tool that would, at a minimum . . . include fingerprints and facial photographs for submission and receipt of a response. Photographs taken in the field are clearly not mug shot photos because theyre taken before booking and possibly even before arrest. And its hard to see how a mobile tool that allows officers to collect these non-mug shot photos and submit them to a database is not also populating the national repository. Unfortunately, as we have noted many times before, we dont know exactly how the FBI plans to populate NGI with face images because it hasnt updated the Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for its photo database since 2008well before the development and deployment of NGIs facial recognition capabilities. Mr. Pender testified to Congress in 2012 that FBI was in the process of updating this PIA to address all evolutionary changes since 2008. But despite a2014 letter to then-Attorney General Eric Holder signed by EFF and 31 other organizations calling for FBI to update the PIA, the Bureau still fails to explain to Americans exactly how it plans to collect, use and protect face recognition data. Our calls for an updated PIA are clearly falling on deaf ears. But without one, it is impossible to tell exactly how the FBI is limiting its acquisition and use of facial recognition data now and in the future. As EFF testified during a Senate Subcommittee hearing on facial recognition, Americans should be very concerned about the governments plans to build up its facial recognition capabilities: Facial recognition takes the risks inherent in other biometrics to a new level[it] allows for covert, remote, and mass capture and identification of images, and the photos that may end up in a database include not just a persons face but also what she is wearing, what she might be carrying, and who she is associated with. Given the FBIs broad goals for face recognition data, the time is right for laws that limit face recognition data collection. Jennifer Lynch writes for the Electronic Frontier Foundation where this article first appeared. Good stuff, activist post. Thanks for the reprint of this article. Todays posting had a number of such good articles. Keep up the good work. What is the largest facial database in the world called? Facebook, and the feds love it. 
1	Apparently blind to the beautiful and sacred gift of life that is handed to him every morning, 58-year-old parking lot attendant Donald Wright is reportedly unaware that each new day is a precious miracle delivered to him by the Lord above, sources confirmed Wednesday. Does this man not know that to wake up each morning on Gods green earth and go to work is nothing short of a glorious blessing? local Kim Claremont said of the man who spends eight hours a day in a toll booth waiting for customers to hand over their parking fee. Why, hes healthy, hes got a job, hes just about the luckiest fella on earth and he cant even see it! He must not realize that this day is a wondrous joy that should be embraced with a full and happy heart. Why wouldnt he realize that?

2	2 BlackLivesMatter Thugs Stab White Pizza Delivery Kid To Death: Wheres Obama? Its truly astounding the lengths the mainstream media will go to, to avoid painting the whole picture of race relations in this country. Every day, we hear a new story of the injustice against the black and Muslim population in America. Those injustices definitely exist, and they need to be worked on. But lets not forget the many deaths of innocent white men and women, whose lives are robbed at the hands of minorities. This is not a one-way street. Take 22-year-old Alexander William Burkart for instance, who recently crashed his car after being stabbed in Mount Clemens, Michigan. Burkart ultimately died from his wounds, and police successfully arrested two 18-year-old black males for their involvement. Burkart was simply doing his job and delivering pizzas at the time of the incident. And his story is only one of seven pizza delivery slaying weve seen this year. These are repeated, aggressive murders of white men and women at the hands of minorities. And they cannot go ignored. 
2	Military General Tells Truth About Lowering The Standards Against What Obama Admin Is Pushing President Barack Obama has gained a reputation for disrespecting our military. It seems that at every turn he is working to limit their abilities to meet his agenda. Now, his recent decision to open every combat role, including Special forces, to women, has come under immense fire. The administration insists that physical requirements wont be lowered for women, but one Marine General is speaking out. In a recent interview with CNS News, Marine Gen. John Kelly, commander of the U.S. Southern Command, claimed that generals will be under great pressure to lower standards in order to allow more women into combat roles. Essentially, they will once again be valuing political correctness over safety. My greatest fearand we see this happen a lot over the last 45 years Ive been in the Armed Forcesis right now theyre saying we are not going to change any standards, Kelly commented. There will be great pressure, whether its 12 months from now, four years from now, because the question will be asked, whether weve let women into these other roles, why arent they staying in those other roles. Why arent they advancing as infantry peopleWhy arent they becoming, you know, more senior? Kelly argued. And the answer isI think it will beif we dont change the standards, it will be very, very difficult to have any numbers, any real numbers, come into the infantry, or the Rangers or the SEALs. This is not the first time that senior military officials have come forward with complaints about Obama and his policies. And its no wonderif the military does start feeling pressurehe or someone like him is likely to take the heat. Fortunately, hes not willing to hide the truth from the American public. What do you think? Do you support Kelly?

3	Chattanooga Hoax? Victim Reported Dead Years Before ShootingBy Joe Wright The Chattanooga shooting inspired an influential former general to call for internment camps for thought radicals. Pretty outrageous, I know. Imagine how sinister that agenda would be if the Chattanooga shooting is proven to be a scripted hoax? YouTube researchers MattyD 4 Truth and PROVE ME WRONG have uncovered records that appear to show at least one of the Chattanooga victims died years before thelatest mass shooter media event. (See video below) The establishment media is running dramatic stories of Lance Corporal Skip Wells last words to his girlfriend, but perhaps those last words were spoken in 2004. A strikingly similar looking Marine Lance Corporal Larry L. Wells was reported to have been killed in Iraq in 2004, according to Washington Posts Faces of the Fallen. Screenshot saved below in case they remove the page. The corporate media was immediately on script for the Chattanooga shooting event like many others that follow the exact same plot line. Stop me if youve heard this one: Then the solution meme is always the same: Youre in danger, give up your rights, give us more authority and resources to protect you, you need us, you really need us, more arms for authorities less for free people. An official figure goes on national TV to provide the detailed agenda, like General Wesley Clark did by announcing the national policy solution that he hopes other nations will adopt too: This phony shooting story has already resulted in orders to arm the National Guard in various states and more hysterical calls to crack down on online radicalization. Probably much more to come too. YouTuber PROVE ME WRONG also points to a 2009 Washington Post story featuring an image of the grave site sharing the same name of another alleged Chattanooga victim, Marine Sergeant Thomas J. Sullivan. The story refers to his family starting a D.C. area nonprofit called Sergeant Sullivan Center in his honor. But the ages and images of the 2009 Thomas Sullivan dont match with the Chattanooga victim, and its quite a common name. Nevertheless, its becoming obvious to anyone who pays attention to the news that many of these hyped shooting events appear to have the same shady characteristics and the same results politicians clamoring for more authority to act against thought criminals. More research is needed, but dont be the last one to realize how badly youve been duped. Leave comments below. Positive the marine is the same guy. I dont think the dude on cnn is the same person. Still, good catch. he is just older and has hair now is all Also he has grown an earlobe. the chins on the photos are inhuman i think we got baited One reason the evil minions from the District of Columbia hate Veterans, is that the veterans have seen their lies. They see what is really happening, then they see the lies coming out of the mouths of the DC prostitutes. They come to realize that these scum lie 100% of the time. The disgusting parasites from DC hate all who see them as they really are. Politics = wall to wall, top to bottom snake in the grass usual suspects thankfully there are more and more folks catching on to these hoaxesthe collective heard has raised its collective headhopefully. Check the ear on the two Marines Identical. Not so with the news guy. The digital ink is not even dry on this article and BINGO, we have our next mass shooter event, and you guessed it the gunman shot himself. Bobby Jindal appears to be the front man on this psyop. My guess is Jade Helm 15 is now in full swing and A.I. software is monitoring and classifying all reactions to these events. With the digital ink not even dry on this story, BINGO, we have another mass shooter event in Louisiana. Bobby Jindal ramrodding this psy-op. Gonna be a long summer with Jade II running the show for all these flunkies.. Boy, ol Jindal sure showed up in a hurry, didnt he? If you noticed at last nights theater shooting, there were a few ambulances with emergency lights on and several police cars with their emergency lights on. What was missing at Chattanooga, Charleston, Sandy Hook, Aurora, Naval Yard etc.? Emergency vehicles that actually responded to an Emergency!!!!! Sandy Hook Victims were left in that building because they were allegedly already dead. Police do not declare patients dead, and neither do EMTs (who were noticeably inactive); The Sandy hook school was closed for asbestos in 2008.Nobody can find any death certificates. The local PD was doing an active shooter exercise at that closed down school. You need to do more research troll! I dont think either of you understood what this person was saying. He literally said that they were allegedly dead but that first responders, police, EMTs, they dont have the right to call that. Only doctors, coroners, people like that. Well you are misinformed since no one died at sandy hook. And just for you fantasy of Sandy Hook being real, even the Medical Examiner was not allowed into the to pronounce people dead. Which he couldnt do any way because no one died. Same with the Boston marathon [smoke] bombing. NO emergency vehicles. People supposedly with their legs blown off ignored for a while, then put in a wheelchair and wheeled down the same street by a guy in a cowboy hat. Then wheeled down THE SAME STREET for the cameras by a totally different person; with the legless mans prosthetic device put in his lap in front of the cameras. RESULT Entire city of Boston LOCKED DOWN.. looking for a teenager. Good thing there were about 7 agencies including FBI, DHS, Boston PD, national guard, sheriffs office, SWAT teams with armored vehicles, etc. etc. etc. The US is being totally conditioned to allow this militaristic police expansion. The only ones who are being duped are the ones who believe this article. For one Skip Wells chin is more pointed. Skip Wells is from Georgia and he has a Facebook profile that he has posted something up as recently as last month. Look at all of his pictures and what do you know one of the pictures of him that is going around the media is right there. The Facebook profile and the guy reported as him in the media are the same person. Now tell me how is someone who died in 2004 able to post on Facebook 10 plus years after he died? His girlfriends name is Caroline Dove. Her profile picture is of him and her and the exact same profile of Skip Wells commented on it. People stop believing everything you hear and do real research. 5 people in our Military died in Chattanooga, TN last week please show them some respect. His chin is more pointed because his collar is much higher, amplifying it. If youve never seen jokesters playing devils advocate, you may never know why theyre pulling these stunts. Its just knee-jerk reactions theyre trying to get from the viewers. For the devils due the Press is actually exponentiating the psychopaths to react or act out their ego-driven impulses. We have them by the bus-loads and most of them are being drugged. i think this was all bait to get in fighting People do look alike. As Hildabeest would say What does it matter. We already well know that the current government is a corrupt as Obama is Gay. Why did you remove the email spot? I dont have a gmail account. I am reasonably sure the Marine Thomas Sullivan who die in 2009 from pneumonia is not the same from Chattanooga. I havent looked into the other one yet, although the striking similarities are unquestionable. At the very LEAST they would have had to been siblings, and I find it impossible to beleive that would not have been mentioned when talking about the recent death. These are the 2 Sullivan. The unclear one is from 2009. Look at the build. Of course, that can be changed to a degree, but look at the hairline. If you download the pic on the left into windows pics, you can enlarge it from there. Im not up on the Sullivan story, but where did you get the bottom photo of the man apparently standing in front of an armored vehicle? Compare the handswhy is his right hand nearly as large as his head, and a third larger than his left hand (if they are both touching his vest in a near-frontal shot)? Im no photographic expert, but this thing looks like a bad X-Acto composite, with perfect outline delineation. Is he supposed to be standing in front of a wall mural of a military vehicle with light coming at him from more than one direction (but not so with the background)? Because that is precisely what it looks like. Not knowing the back story Ive no point to make, here. Other than that this photo looks more like a bad cut and paste collage than a real live photograph of a guy in front of an armored vehicle with a cannister under his arm. Im reminded of those ridiculous pictures of Oswald holding a Mannlicher rifle, where his head grows and shrinks from one photo to the next. I could be wrongbut so are the shadows and perspective in this photograph, for some reason. To my untrained eye the whole thing just looksoff. Someone did edit that photo. The name tag on top of his chest plate (below collar) has been pasted over, to block it out. If you zoom in on the face, you will see the face was fuzzed up.. Oddly, a non-edited block was forgotten, the left side of his nose, going down to below his mouth, to a crease or scar below the left side of his lower lip.. (your right, his left). The photo that you are referring is the one media is using for the Chattanooga shooting. It doesnt matter if he had a can of dog food under his arm and a woman behind his back. The person they are saying died in Chattanooga, if we are going by visuals, is not the same Thomas Sullivan that died of Pneumonia in 2009. Since the video clearly used the visual similitude of Skip Wells for persuasion, I did the same. If the Wells can be the same because of how closely they resemble, than the Sullivans must be different because of how little they do. Fair enough, as I said, Ive no dog in this race. Your logic is sound as regards the above video. But now I have to ask myself, why is the photo of one of the Sullivans doctored (if not outright fake)? Any red-blooded conspiracy theorist worth his salt looks for out-points in the official story (and these days that means not only what the officials announce, but anything the MSM dishes out for us public imbeciles). This photo is an out-point. Why does it even exist? Why are they showing it to us? From the fake Oswald photos, to the fake Obama birth certificate, to the clearly staged (rehearsed) Sandy Hook schoolchild exodus, laughing crisis actors (etc., ad infinitum), to this weird collage, I have to seriously wonder if They are intentionally thumbing their noses at us to see how many of us even notice. One might think that, if this is the best quality of fakery they can come up with, they are clearly doomed. Apparently the opposite is the case: If the majority of the public cant tell the difference between reality and what these novice scam artists are pitching at us, it is we who are doomed. Sarg. DeMonte Cheeley is in the news as a survivor Marine of Chattanooga. This man can help verify the truth of his service and what he witnessed July 16. 2015. He was able to change his profile picture the next morning of the incident and he is back to work. Semper Fi! My old granda used to tell me, believe none of what you hear, and half of what you see. I was too young to understand. Im older now. never believe your lying eyes, your friendly politician will always reveal the truth to you. Unfortunately, this one isnt a hoax. Live 1 mile from where Wells went to HS recently. Thousands of people showed up to grieve this past week. Two different people. USMC recruits only take that photo once so the dress blues photo is not the same person. Also, different physical features. Who started this nonsense? Not to say the event wasnt staged. However, can we get a little better at the physical evidence? Otherwise, the debunker-debunkers will have a field day. This is very clever what theyve done here and I can tell you its a trap. Expect either Snopes, Metabunk or the like to play their part. On closer scrutiny the two photos are obviously different people. The guy known as Larry is a real guy who died in 2004. The guy known as Skip appears to be an actor who has assumed the role and had photos taken that are similar to Larry. Hes also had photos taken posing with the Mom who appeared on CNN and several other news services. Why theyve done it this way Im not sure. I could theorize its either a trap for conspiracy theorists or it serves a purpose to have death records somewhere of a real soldier in relation to this. Well done for posting this and to who found the photo proof. Heres more confirmation: In addition to the matching photos, we also have this, which further illustrates the kabbalistic method used in these events: From Lance Corporal Larry L. Wells, KIA, Najaf, Iraq on 6 August 2004 to the Chattanooga shootings on 16 July 2015 is: = 3996 days http://www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadded.html?d1=6m1=8y1=2004type=adday=am=aw=ad=3996 = 666 + 666 + 666 + 666 + 666 + 666 days 666 x6 which also yields the familiar, 33 grid of the obligatory 444s : = 444 + 444 + 444 + 444 + 444 + 444 + 444 + 444 + 444 days Posted here: Chattanooga shooting victim: Lance Corporal Larry L Wells aka Skip Wells kia Najaf, Iraq on 6 August 2004 http://forum.davidicke.com/showthread.php?p=1062548250#post1062548250 . The Government made Domestic Propaganda LEGAL in July 2013 for a reason these Hoaxs and the FAKE Muslim Terrorist videos are why! It doesnt seem to matter how flawed the production. The Message Machine tells people what to think about eventsreal or stagedand people think what they are told to think. I live in Cleveland TN. This was played out at Bradley square mall (Cleveland, Tn) (Northgate mall, hixon) and (Hamilton place mall, Chattanooga) all at the same time. My younger brother he was 26 at the time was at Bradley Square. I talked to him an hour prior and was going to meet up with him after dropping my mustang off. I received a call a half hour later from my brother en route to my cousins shop to drop the mustang (mall is on the route) and was told to avoid Paul Huff and Lee hwy (the intersection the malls at) there was a shooting at Bradley. The police have the mall on lock down and yes he is ok. HE HEARD THE GUNSHOTS!! 
3	Out with the Old: Gates Funded Social Engineering Health Effort in IndiaHeather Callaghan When it comes to forceful health initiatives, especially those sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation India is the new Africa. Yet another Gates-funded initiative seeks to use influence, ferret out true believer health officials, leverage their influence for social manipulation, paint the culture as uneducated and convince them to get with the health program. The ongoing study is described in the paper Integrating social networks and human social motives to achieve social influence at scale in the September 15 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Northwestern University Professor Noshir Contractor and his collaborators are studying how to use networks to spread messages about public health knowledge. The idea is to pair social networks with social motives to close the science gap. In other words, to put authoritative findings into direct action and overcome cultural caution. In an earlier project funded by the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation, Contractor surveyed government officials in India to determine which people were most influential both inside their district and among outside districts. By leveraging those influential people, Contractor found that networks could be used to spread valuable information about public health. In this Gates-funded follow-up project, Contractor is now exploring how to craft messages for these influential people to spread further. Researchers cite that the infant mortality rate is 10 times higher in India than in the developed world. But to further illustrate their need to infiltrate the culture using social networking ties with Indian health surveillance workers, they cite another extreme example to highlight superstition. While clinical trials found that applying an inexpensive topical solution of chlorhexidine to cleanse a newborns umbilical cord reduced the neonatal mortality rate by 24 percent, many Indian parents did not receive or follow this information. Larry Prusak, an independent consultant on knowledge management said: You think you can just tell someone the scientific facts, and that will solve the problem. There is very good evidence that it doesnt solve the problem at all because personal beliefs interfere. In the case of chlorhexidine, for example, some parents are hesitant to use it because of deep-rooted traditional beliefs dating back several centuries that encourage parents to apply mustard oil to the umbilical cord. Some parents, they say, worry that breaking the ritual will cause bad luck for their child. Contractor describes Indians superstition, and thus the need to step in: Its like the sports fans who always wear the same lucky shirt. You can tell them as much as you want that wearing the same shirt will not help their team, but they are still going to do it. Noshir Contractor said: The challenge is not that we dont have solutions to solve major societal problems, but that we struggle with how to take a known solution and get a large number of people to use it. There is a big gap between what science offers us and what gets applied. To close this gap, Contractor and his collaborator Leslie A. DeChurch, a professor of psychology at the Georgia Institute of Technology, are combining social networks with knowledge about social motives to influence the adoption of family health innovations. So they surveyed 14,000 family health workers in India. Contractor, among other things, is considered an expert on social networks, structures composed of interactions among individuals or organizations. Contractor and DeChurch realized that for one person to persuade another person, it is important to have information about how their motives affect what information they believe. They put people in two different categories: the need to be right or the need to be liked. People who want to be right respond more to scientific data and perspectives from well-respected opinion leaders. People who want to be liked respond more to the opinions of people they trust or to whom they feel an obligation, they said. In other words, the use of guilt. To find out which people fall into each category, Contractor is leading a survey of 14,000 family health workers in India. The paper-based survey involves family health workers for the Indian government as well as several non-profit organizations and development partners. From Contractor: We are asking them about who they go to for advice on family health solutions as well as questions that will help us assess the extent to which these people are driven by the need to be right or the need to be liked. Based on those characteristics, we can identify who is most likely to influence them and what message is most likely to influence them. The results of the survey will be implemented in a digital dashboard that Contractor calls the Do Board. Members in a technical support unit from the NGO Care India (partnered with Merck, targets poor women) will possess the Do Boards, using the information to help health officials interested in scaling up innovations identify who is likely to influence whom and with what message. A lot of people think that networks just make pretty pictures and nice visualizations, Contractor said. We want to prove that networks can do something very actionable and solve major world problems. Many Americans are vastly unaware of the damage Gates funded programs have done in India by solving major world problems. As Aaron Dykes writes, But the real story is that while polio has statistically disappeared from India, there has been a huge spike in cases of non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP) the very types of crippling problems it was hoped would disappear with polio but which have instead flourished from a new cause. There were 47,500 cases of non-polio paralysis reported in 2011, the same year India was declared polio-free, according to Dr. Vashisht and Dr. Puliyel. Further, the available data shows that the incidents tracked back to areas were doses of the polio vaccine were frequently administered. The national rate of NPAFP in India is 25-35 times the international average. That program was criticized by Indian doctors unbeknownst to the rest of the world. Thanks to surveillance methods backed by Gates and other NGOs, well hear from them less and less. This initiative is another way to ferret them out, seek new believers and sweep out the old culture. Such energy and funds could be better spent in increasing health by other means. While the press release would seem innocuous to the average reader, the underlying aggression will be felt in India where it takes place in the form of dehumanizing social manipulation.

3	Grand Opening of New 9/11 Memorial Museum In NYC Attempts to Cement Official Story LiesBernie Suarez And since we know factually that Bin Laden didnt own his own controlled demolition company we can mathematically and factually state that Bin Laden did not cause the damage that occurred at the World Trade Center lending full credence to the statement: 9/11 was an inside job. Despite all of this, New York City is committed to history revisionism of the first class. Spearheaded with globalist money and speakers like former mayor Michael Bloomberg, the museum is touting itself as an educational experience where visitors can come to be educated on What happened on 9/11. A quick glance at their websites FAQ page brings us to that section. It reads: 9/11 is shorthand for four coordinated terrorist attacks carried out by al-Qaeda, an Islamist extremist group, that occurred on the morning of September 11, 2001. The attacks killed 2,977 people. On the morning of September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists from al-Qaeda, hijacked four commercial airplanes, deliberately crashing two of the planes into the upper floors of the North and South towers of the World Trade Center complex and a third plane into the Pentagon in Arlington, Va. The Twin Towers ultimately collapsed because of the damage sustained from the impacts and the resulting fires. After learning about the other attacks, passengers on the fourth hijacked plane, Flight 93, fought back, and the plane was crashed into an empty field in western Pennsylvania about 20 minutes by air from Washington, DC. The attacks killed nearly 3,000 people from 93 nations. 2,753 people were killed in New York, 184 people were killed at the Pentagon and 40 people were killed on Flight 93. Everything the globalists have attempted has failed to slow down the mass awakening, especially regarding 9/11. In fact, many Americans who dont believe the new world order conspiracy is in full effect, and who may not quite believe chemtrails are being dumped on us, or that GMOs and geoengineering are not only real but part of Agenda 21, many of these same Americans will actually admit that they acknowledge that the 9/11 official story cant be true. 9/11 truth, by comparison to other government conspiracies, it seems, has proven to the be easiest conspiracy to understand. Even when compared to todays weekly and sometimes daily occurrence of false flags where awakened revolutionaries are now reporting the false flags in real-time, 9/11 somehow feels easier to prove. The reason it feels that way to many of us is because it really is easier to prove. With the crimes of 9/11/01 one can pick a topic and run with it. The documentaries, books, researches, papers, testimonies and stories on 9/11 available to the public that is, all of humanity is too numerous to count. Humanity has now spoken loudly when it comes to 9/11. Those who, to this day, hold on the official story have become part of the minority. We know from psychology studies that reconciling these burdensome truths come in stages. Stages outlined famously by Elizabeth Kubler Ross. Ross described the five stages a sick and dying person goes through when dealing with the grief of impending death. This model is easily useful for any kind of bad news. I admit, when I first learned of 9/11 truth it felt like bad news not good news. Thus it is appropriate to apply Rosss stages to 9/11 truth awakening. The first and most important stage to understand is the denial phase. The denial phase will be overcome by all but at different time periods. It may take one person longer to awaken and get past the denial than it may take another person. No two individuals are necessarily alike. When acting as a person, however, governments and large corporations and gatherings of people tend to persist in the denial phase. This group denial phase is natural and can be explained by taking a closer look at how we function as human beings. In another popular psychology study conducted by Solomon Asch, we learned that humans acting in a group where the conditions allowed the individual to be subjected to group influence and peer pressure, individuals were willing to deny their own reality and perceptions to simply go along with the perceived consensus of the group. This singular phenomenon single-handedly explains why anyone outside of the perpetrators and their supporters would still blindly believe the official story of 9/11. This new fraudulent propaganda museum in New York City for commemorating 9/11 is designed to appeal to this particular segment of society. To this end, the rest of humanity those already awakened to the globalist crimes of 9/11 should seek to explore new ways to ruin and expose this fraudulent event. I would remind those who are awakened that history is on the side of truth, and events like these historically usually backfire. Like the backfiring we are seeing tied to events all over the world as globalist gangsters get busted in their scandals. The lesson learned is that lies will eventually be exposed, and the more you try to smear the truth and reinforce your lies, the more your lies will be exposed. So in a move that appears as an attempt to flaunt their lies in the face of the truth movement, the arrogant globalist terrorists seem to be saying come and get us, as they attempt a bold revision of history and cement their blatant lies. Will the globalists regret having made this move? Will something unexpected evolve from this disingenuous trashing of the memory of the 9/11 victims and their family? Only time will tell. We as an awakened segment of humanity should not let this unique moment pass us by. Instead we should seize the moment and expose the fraud of this ridiculous account of what happened that day. The globalists have chosen to start this fire because they think they know how this will end. Will we prove them wrong? The late Michael Ruppert would tell us pick up your weapon and fire it and I second that. Lets pick up our intellectual and passion-for-truth weapons and fire at this despicable empire that lies to the world hoping to keep individuals living in fear so that they can control them. So to New York City, criminal Bloomberg, Obama and the rest of the globalist criminals I say please keep your laughable disingenuous museum closed. It is an abomination to truth and reason, it represents all the misery and suffering humanity has experienced since that day at the hands of the same criminals who decided to go along with this operation. The same criminals that created and worked with Bin Laden and Al Qaeda for years are the same criminals who faked Bin Ladens capture and killing sacrificing our courageous well-meaning SEAL team soldiers who thought they were really fighting evil. These same scumbags soon afterward launched the domestic war on terror which was then followed later that year (2011) by the signing of the NDAA, which has now been followed by two years of non-stop false flag events designed to disarm Americans. I refer to the last two years as Operation Northwoods II, but you may call it whatever you want. Despite the agony Americans have experienced watching horrific false flags, loss of liberty, and now an aggressive mainstream media targeting truth, freedom and Constitution lovers by calling them terrorists; despite all of these horrors linked directly to the 9/11 false flag, the museum will open with no regard or respect for truth, your intelligence or your common sense. Organizations and people that disrespect you as a human being deserve to be treated with the same disrespect so let us expose this effort and challenge them with our Q and A. Like why are they ignoring their own N.I.S.T. report which admits that WTC 7 came down at freefall speed for the first 105 feet? Or where is Barry Jennings testimony of explosions inside of WTC 7 before either tower one or two were destroyed? Didnt Barry tell us that after hearing numerous explosions he said regarding towers one and two: both buildings were still standing. This single line of testimony would have been enough to acquit Bin Laden had he ever been formally charged for terrorism, which according to FBI sources and website, he never has been. So why are we still talking about the official story? I suppose because the perpetrators wont let go of their need for you to believe it. Remember, deep down, truth seekers and those involved in the 9/11 crimes have one singular thing in common: we both know who did it. Creepy as it may sound, this is how our brains are wired. From this point on it becomes a war of information. The Army calls it information wars. The information war which allows truth to get out of the bottle is a weapon that can and is weakening the new world order, as admitted by Zbigniew Brzezinski, Hillary Clinton and others. In their desperation for control of the information war, the new museum website even has a mostly underdeveloped page titled 9/11 Related Terror where they offer to properly link other events and future global events to the 9/11 Muslim terrorist attack: This series will provide information aimed at demonstrating how 9/11 exists within the context of a continuing global story, of which other related terrorist attacks are also a part. Yeah, right. Are we really going to let the globalist gangsters explain to us how the continuing global story will evolve (or future) events tie back to the falsely accused Middle Eastern men who never have been linked to any controlled demolition companies? They are considered guilty, apparently but only in the Dick Cheney, evidence-free, kangaroo military tribunal Neocon courts. Most Americans are smart enough to know what true justice is when they themselves are being accused, but not all have the ability to grasp injustice when it requires a vision for someone elses framework of existence. For this reason we have watched thirteen years go by while countless falsely accused individuals have been unjustly imprisoned by an empire without proof of their guilt. Instead, now they memorialize their supposed guilt in a disgraceful act of propaganda against both the Muslim community and truth seekers who have worked so hard to bring the truth of 9/11 to light. May all truth seekers use this information war as an opportunity to fight back. To the globalists I say, expect us. We will find you, just give us time. You will shortly find out that humanity is powerful and your mission will fail. Care to contact this event and challenge their version of the story? This could be a great opportunity to reach out to those working the museum, those who attend the museum, and those who hear about the museum. These are the same dark entities who have ignored the evidence presented to them. They ignore the rules of science, mock reproducible experiments, marginalize those who choose to pursue reason and logic, while at the same time they claim that computer coding is science when they push their computer model science on the rest of the world. The question I ask myself then is, What do we need to do to appeal, wake up or get the attention of the earlier describe segment of society? You know, those beyond logic and reason and those who have simply not woken up yet because they are still in the denial phase of the bad news acceptance sequence. What can we do about these people? Answer is: keep doing what you are doing. They will not respond to anyones words, they will only respond to the perceived mass perception. Keep this in mind and continue to do what you are doing. We as a movement of people all over America that want truth, reason and transparency from genuinely elected representatives will manifest that reality to those (in denial) individuals in due time. No one person can reasonably assume the burden of forcing this paradigm shift on someone. That is the tricky part we must keep in mind. I have no doubt that in the overall picture of our current paradigm shift, this 9/11 Memorial Museum will play a role in pushing humanity forward by way of awakening to 9/11 truth. Perhaps this fraudulent museum will act as the precursor to a new wave of awakening. After all, hasnt forgetting and ignoring evidence about 9/11 been one of the primary tools of the globalists to defend against their 9/11 crimes? Do they really want 9/11 back in the news? Like watching the slow death of an insect, we can expect this museum attempt to blow up in their pathetic faces. Help spread the word of this historic history-revisionism attempt. For now, Ill keep an eye out for fresh new false flags which the empire is pushing the button on seemingly on a daily basis. Let us not allow this museum to distract us from the next false flag. The globalists have demonstrated that they put a big premium on timing and symbolism. Perhaps there is an equally opposing timing and symbolism truth seekers can apply to this moment. Whatever it is, its probably already in motion somewhere. This is the wonder of how humanity naturally responds to propaganda of this size. 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. 
3	The New Mafia Wears A BadgeDave Hodges Policing for Fun and Profit The practice discussed in this article is called civil asset forfeiture and is often referred to as policing for profit. It involves every aspect of law enforcement from the local police to federal authorities. Civil asset forfeiture laws permit the authorities the legal right to actually steal your private assets. No, these laws are not the RICO laws in which convicted drug dealers and money launderers forfeit their private property obtained in the commission of organized criminal activity. Civil asset forfeiture allows law enforcement the legal right to steal your assets even when you have not been convicted or even when you have not been accused of a crime. The practice makes potential thugs and thieves out of every law enforcement official who dons a badge. No judge will ever rule that this practice is unconstitutional, which it clearly is, because the judge gets to go to conferences (i.e. vacations), can eat at for free at expensive restaurants, drive a county vehicle for free, attend football games for free and generally enjoy the perks that any common thief gets to enjoy as a result of sharing in the spoils of this unconstitutional activity. The practice of civil asset forfeiture has corrupted our entire legal process and this practice is best summarized in the following the video. When salaries and perks are on the line, rogue cops have a strong incentive to increase the seizures, as evidenced by an increase in the regularity and size of such seizures in recent years. Asset forfeiture practices often go hand-in-hand with racial profiling; and, according to the ACLU, can seriously impact low-income African-American or Hispanic people in which local police can exercise their law enforcement discretion and decide who looks suspicious and for whom the arduous and expensive process of trying to get ones property back is an expensive challenge. Victimizing Minorities for Fun and Profit Beginning in 2006, the police in Tenaha, Texas would randomly stop, search, and would steal private property from Blacks and Hispanics traveling through the town even though there was no suspicion of criminal activity. Typically, the police shakedown would consist of threatening travelers that if they did not turn over their cash and other identified valuables, they would be arrested on money laundering charges and have their children taken by Child Protective Services. If they turned over the cash, they would be let go. Most people would simply turn over their money. Some people actually tried to recover their money, but found they needed to hire lawyers and prove their innocence in front a judge who was profiting from the seizures, a process that was too expensive and not practical for many. Several individuals affected by this practicejoined a class-action lawsuit against Tenaha and several city and county officials, challenging these illegal stops and seizures. The ACLU joined the case, Morrow v. City of Teneha, et al., in July 2012. In August 2012, the ACLU settled a class action suit against officials in Tenaha and Shelby Counties. James Morrow was arrested and spent the night in jail as he was traveling through Tenaha, TX. Police seized nearly $4,000 in cash and threatened to prosecute him for money laundering if he did not forfeit his money. To get out of jail, he agreed to forfeit his cash and he was let go. Morrow eventually got his money back but had to pay over $3,500 in attorney fees to recover his money. Morrow and dozens of other victims contacted the ACLU. It was estimated that as much as $3 million dollars was stolen by local officials from innocent motorists between 2006 and 2008 in over 140 cases. Morrow and dozens of others were made whole over five years later. The examples are infuriating. An elderly couple in Philadelphia had their home seized after their son allegedly sold $20 worth of grass on the front porch. A church secretary in Virginia had $28,500 in church donations confiscated by the highway patrol because he was caught speeding. In Tennessee, along Interstate 40, the police are shaking down out of state motorists and stealing their cash and property at rates that dwarf the proven criminality of Tenaha, TX. NewsChannel 5 in Nashville, Tennessee created the following video which clearly demonstrates how police use civil asset forfeiture laws to steal money from unsuspecting motorists. Please note how the Deputy District Attorney admits that her jurisdiction makes money from this process. Also make note of how a local Tennessee police chief admits that if officers do not seize enough cash, they could lose their jobs. Under civil forfeiture laws, the government does not have to report how cases of individual theft that they engage in, nor are they required to report the amount of money stolen from individual citizens. Citizens dont have to be found guilty to forfeit their assets. It is a very large loophole that law enforcement agencies are more than happy to exploit to the tune of $4.2 billion annually. There are some common sense practices that motorists can follow in an attempt to minimize the damage. First, if you are dealing with a federal law enforcement agency, invoke your Fifth Amendment right to not answer any questions. If you make the mistake of speaking to the federal officials, they can accuse you of lying (your word vs. their word) and you can do time for this offense. Additionally, advise the officials that you are not speaking to them without an attorney present and when they mock you and ask you why, hold to your right to remain silent. When they ask you for permission to search your vehicle, tell them to get a warrant and that you are insisting on having an attorney present if they have any suspicion that you have broken any laws. They will belittle you and threaten you for not cooperating, but do not back down. If you are polite, professional, yet firm and appear to know your rights, the cops might move on to an easier, less constitutionally aware person. Also, if at all possible, film the entire encounter. And for goodness sake, try to not travel with very much cash on you, particularly if you traveling out of state, because as you have seen, the local police mafia is lying in wait. We live in a time when banks, brokerages and the government can legally steal from you without following due process of law. We live in a country with no rules. Might makes right and you have about as much civil liberty as a person walking the streets of Somalia. I used to respect all police officers, but it is difficult to not hold the entire profession in contempt, because they are the mobile tax collectors for the Sheriff of Nottingham. Claiming to be understaffed, they often refuse to respond to calls for help, but they are Johnny-on-the-spot when it comes to stealing your property. First the banks, now the police mafia. Nobody knows exactly how many citizens are actually victimized by this highway robbery. Estimates place the number of victims at over 100,000 cases per year. Lets be clear, this practice is a clear violation of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments to the United States Constitution. I almost forgot to mention that every one of these actions by the police are consistent with a nation that is under martial law.

3	NYC to Fine Businesses $250,000 Who Dont Use the Correct Gender Pronoun SeriouslyBy Claire Bernish Yes, seriously. In a legal enforcement guidance issued under New York City Human Rights Law, employers and converted entities are now required to use an individuals preferred name, pronoun and title (e.g., Ms./Mrs.) regardless of the individuals sex assigned at birth, anatomy, gender, medical history, appearance, or the sex indicated on the individuals identification, reported the Washington Times. Though potentially well-intentioned, the policing of speech and, in this case, subjective interpretation represents the slipperiest of slopes, complete with grave financial consequences, particularly for smaller businesses. Issued in December, the mandate expands human rights law and notes some individuals prefer to be addressed by non gender-specific pronouns and titles, such as they/them/theirs or ze/hir. As the Times noted, the former are plurals being drafted for use in the singular, while the latter are among several alternative pronoun systems developed by academics and/or LGBT communities. While such systems certainly deserve respect for more fairly addressing individuals who feel they cannot be described in traditional language, the legislation with penalty of such a system is profoundly troubling for a society founded on freedom. This also marks a departure from the traditional construct that freedom of speech must vehemently defend the right of individuals to offend through language, rather than the right of others not to be offended. Careful consideration of this view isnt required for understanding its significance. Being offended is an inherently subjective position and in stripping the right to offend from even a single person, the dominoes of censorship quickly follow. New York Citys penalties for violation of the law evidence this clearly including the intentional and repeated refusal to use an individuals preferred name, pronoun or title. In other words, offending someone could now cost you severely. Misgendering will garner a fine of $125,000, but if it is the result of willful, wanton, or malicious conduct malicious and willful marking another subjective interpretation the maximum potential penalty doubles to $250,000. Even more absurdly, the guide claims businesses could avoid penalties by creating a policy of asking everyone what their preferred gender pronoun is so that no individual is singled out for such questions and by updating their system to allow all individuals to self-identify their names and genders. They should not limit the options for identification to male and female only. Is New York City testing the waters for Orwells infamous Thought Police? As cited by the Times, law professor Eugene Volokh penned in his blog, the Volokh Conspiracy, concerns about reckoning the law with First Amendment guarantees on free speech: So people can basically force us on pain of massive legal liability to say what they want us to say, whether or not we want to endorse the political message associated with the term, and whether or not we think its a lie. Beyond explosive current national discussion about the rights of transgendered individuals, it seems weve become a nation so concerned with whose feelings are trampled, the government has decided to legislate the controversy. Though the Bill of Rights and Constitution intended to protect us equally, the State clearly isnt seeing the forest for the trees on the matter of offending various groups. One quite specific and fundamentally crucial point those who offend should forever maintain in their favor over those feeling offended lies in the hurt persons ability to ignore the offensive speech. And even when that offensive speech intends to harm someone, the individual is under no obligation to continue the exchange. Aside from sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me, whatever happened to peoples ability to just walk away? Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. What will they do to transgenders who disrespect transgenders? Or homosexuals who disrespect transgenders? What of them? Will they pro-rate fines for those who are marginally part of that demographic group? Do they get that special pass that non-LGBTXYZ do not get? Just hang a sign that says: Whateveras another connived contrived tempest in a tea pot with all this melodrama played out over the bought paid for zionist MSMall over 1-2% of the population foisted upon us ALL by the other 1% to deliberately create mass cognitive dissonance by taking our collective minds off the ball of We the Peopleby their blatant hijacking of the Constitution by rabid socio/psychopath dual-citizen zionist neocon Imperialists prosecuting the abject slaughter of brown-skinned innocent men women children at home here in the middle eastessentially Globally while the Banksters steal our jobs pensions former hard earned way of life et algot an hour? I have a long list of the atrocities currently being injected into our present Matrix miasma. An unconstitutional law is unenforceable. With a feeble minded, boorish SWAT team and a scoundrel judge any inane absurdity is enforceable. Seriously folks this new emphasis on trans-sexuality is nothing more than a feintlook here (and get all emotionally worked up over nothing) while we continue to commit war crimes, crash the global financial markets and generally piss off the rest of the world On the contrary: they are the center of the universe. Didnt you get the memo? Its also because people who still think voting matters are getting bored with the political pre-game show. Plus they are paving the way for transhumanism/AI where gender will be meaningless. There are usually several reasons for what shows up on the news feed. Its all such a yawn. This is bureaucratic mindless fascist insanity.. er, not that theres anything wrong with that. One of the few solutions for any harmless business that doesnt want to suffer organized NYC mob, excuse me, state theft is to address everyone as YO: because the world of people willing to claim aggrieved status in order to make a buck just got a little bit bigger.. So to ascertain what gender pronoun customers prefer it will be necessary to ask What gender pronoun(s) do you prefer? WRONG my preferred gender pronoun is not you but Your Exalted Supreme Majesty, Ruler of Heaven and Earth. Ill take my $250,000 please. Dont think for a moment that businesses can or will get around this by handing each potential customer who walks through the door a note that simply says Preferred gender pronoun / title / honorific ____? because that too could cause offence to someone who considers any and all gender identities and / or titles to be oppressive social constructs. Whoopee, Ill take another $250,000 please! Say something else, I dare ya! It was noted, long ago: Whom the Gods would destroy they first make insane. Mayor De Blasio and the NYC council provide fairly convincing proof of the truth of that observation. In the future all bathrooms are only good for one customer at a time. Get in line! Thank you, Mayor deAsshole. Archie Bunker is spinning in his grave 
3	Dont Send Your Child to School Day: Common Core Protests Happening TodayLily Dane Common Core is a national set of standards for education. Most states have adopted the curriculum, but some are reportedly backing out. The standards are not federally mandated, but the U.S. Government is bribing offering increased funding to states that adopt the curriculum. Critics say the standards have not been tested for effectiveness and implement a one-size fits all approach that doesnt consider individual learning styles. Some have also expressed concern about the age-appropriateness of the content. The protest is reportedly occurring in at least 16 states today and has become a political movement on Facebook. An organization called Say No To Common Core, says National Dont Send Your Child To School Day is intended to raise awareness of their concerns and put a stop to the new standards, demanding evidence-based standards that are locally controlled and no more data mining of our children. ABC News in New York reports: Bob Crouts child attends a public school, and he isnt a fan of the Common Core standards. He said, It sets them up for failure in life, instead of making them successful. Critics say that taking children out of school for the day is a bad idea, but supporters of the protest disagree: Any opportunity to see that we as normal citizens have a voice, thats always an educational opportunity to me, said Tina Wilson. She homeschools her children, but is concerned about the impact the Common Core standards will have on the teaching materials she uses. Delivered by The Daily Sheeple 
1	FBI director Robert S. Mueller III announced Monday that, due to logistical complications and a lack of interest among participants, the annual Witness Protection Parade will be cancelled 'for the foreseeable future.' Participants in last year's Witness Protection Parade. 'The feeling among organizers, participants, and sponsors was that the John Smith Memorial Witness Protection Paradethough a lot of funpresented too many headaches for everyone involved,' Mueller said in a press conference Monday. The parade, scheduled this year for Oct. 4, has been a major event in Washington ever since the creation of the federal witness-protection program 30 years ago, and has historically garnered TV ratings second only to those of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. 'This event has been our way of recognizing the brave men and women whose legal testimony forced them to join the federal witness-protection program,' Mueller said. 'It was our way of putting these true patriots in the spotlight, if only for a few hours.' Nevertheless, Mueller said that dozens of last year's marchers, all of whom have asked not to be named, declined the invitation to participate in next month's parade. Most claimed that family matters, personal commitments, or the demands of their pool-cleaning jobs in Tempe wouldn't allow them to be in Washington over the weekend. Mueller said the parade has always been difficult to organize. 'You wouldn't believe how hard it was to track everyone down every year,' Mueller said. 'Even after we did, there was always trouble. We'd have a group all arranged to carry the big 'Star Witnesses Shining Bright' banner, and then, poof, all six men would disappear into thin air the day of the event.' Mueller said that an additional factor leading to the parade's cancellation was the rising cost of insuring it. Over the years, the parade has seen an unusually high incidence of tragedy as it winds through 2.4 miles of downtown D.C. In 1977, a burning, driverless garbage truck, reported stolen earlier in the day from the Happy Haul-Away Sanitation Company, plunged into the 'Telling The Tales Of Yesteryear' float, killing 17 men. In the '80s, the route was changed annually, in an attempt to circumvent the tendency of Colombian-owned businesses to detonate as the parade passed. Also, the 'Boxes Of Nails From Around The World' limousine caravan sponsored by the Sons Of Italy Working Men's Association has exploded with dire consequences seven out of the past nine years. 'Even though the parade was cancelled, it was nice to have been invited,' said John Smith, who would have been this year's grand marshal. Smith was granted the honor in celebration of his testimony in the Racketeer Influenced, Corrupt Organizations Act case against convicted Russian mafia boss Illyini Yutokarev last year. 'For poor boy from Ukraine, it is certainly dream come true,' said Smith, who said he is not related to any of the 27 previous grand marshals of the same name. 'But I never expect any special recognition for what I've done. In fact, I specifically ask for no recognition. Please, none. Please.' Longtime fans of the event expressed disappointment over the parade's cancellation. 'I always loved to watch the parade,' said Jilly Messalini, 48, a small-business owner from New York. 'I tell you, I'll miss it. Every year, I bring the boys from Brooklyn to see the sights, you know? I usually spot at least one old friend, or maybe even his kids, in one of the marching bands.' 'Last year, I recognized a long-lost cousin on the 'Fun Fun Fun In The Arizona Sun' float,' said parade attendee Herbert Tong, a prosperous dry-cleaner and importer from San Francisco's Chinatown. 'I waved, but he must not have noticed me. I followed him for blocks yelling out his name, but he never waved back. He was probably just embarrassed about his missing fingers.' Although the FBI sponsored the annual parade, the cancellation will also affect other federal agencies that make use of the witness-protection program. 'The IRS and the DEA would always send a nice group out,' Mueller said. 'And the CIA would usually support us by collecting donations. But then, money was never a problem. In fact, I was shocked by how generous some of the anonymous donors were. You should have seen the rubber-banded rolls of cash we'd find in those coffee cans we placed around town. Clearly, some people really wanted to see these parades happen.' 
1	Los Angeles police confirmed that Denzel Washington, Naomi Watts, Joaquin Phoenix, and nearly a dozen other top-name actors had gone missing ahead of Sundays Academy Awards after following a fake red carpet laid outside the Dolby Theatre that reportedly led into the back of an idling, windowless van. It appears that the kidnappers were able to use an array of camera flashes, canned fan screaming, and an imposter catty fashion reporter to lure these unsuspecting movie stars right into their grasp, said police sergeant Mark Morales, noting that Reese Witherspoon, William Hurt, and the entire starring cast of Silver Linings Playbook were seen waving and turning to show their outfits to an assembled corps of fake paparazzi before wandering into the cargo hold of a Ford Econoline vehicle. There were even several convincing swag bags in the back of the van that appeared to include luxury spa passes and platinum Chopard watches. This plot was clearly carefully planned to prey on Hollywoods top celebrities. At press time, sources confirmed the identity of the kidnapper as 65-year-old actor James Woods of nearby Beverly Hills, CA. 
1	WASHINGTON, DCC-SPAN viewership rose an impressive 21 percent during the latest Nielsen ratings period, an increase C-SPAN executives are attributing to the cable channel's recent addition of The House Of Representatives Dancers. C-Span The dancers, an ethnically diverse sextet of young women who launch into high-energy hip-hop dance routines during lulls in congressional sessions, made their debut April 25 and have quickly become one of C-SPAN's most popular features. 'I used to switch channels during those long, boring House votes and filibuster speeches,' Norwalk, CT, C-SPAN viewer Randolph Groelke said. 'But now those are my favorite parts.' Said C-SPAN president Edward Rumsfeld: 'We are deeply indebted to Kim, Randi, Dayna and all the other Fly Honeys on the H. of R. Dancer Krew for expanding our viewer base and introducing a broader demographic to the exciting world of federal legislation.' Special commendation was also awarded to DJ Funkmaster G, for 'throwing down the beats which are sufficiently phat to accompany our nation's elected officials. Thanks to his tireless efforts on the turntables, the House Of Representatives is representin' coast-to-coast and worldwide.' To accommodate the newest stars of C-SPAN's daily broadcasts, the House chamber was widened considerably in April to add a light-up dance floor and a wall of video screens to the right of the Speaker's chair. A graffiti-strewn brick wall has been installed behind the speaker's podium to give the chamber a 'street-scene' ambiance. Next week's schedule on C-SPAN calls for debate on a possible revision to current AFDC law, voting on a controversial Florida Wetlands preservation bill, and 'Gonna Make You Sweat' by C+C Music Factory. The dancers are the first major addition to C-SPAN since the May 1997 introduction of 'Mr. Slotnik,' Congress' cantankerous landlord. If C-SPAN's ratings remain up, the network plans to add a kickboxing segment to Senate proceedings. 
1	Law enforcement officials confirmed today that before the police captured Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the 19-year-old left a really nice thank-you note for the owner of the boat in which he had been hiding out that day. To whom this may concern: Thank you very much for letting me use your boat. It was very nice to lie in, Tsarnaev reportedly scribbled on the inside wall of the boat. Anyway, I have to go get arrested now. But I just wanted to say thank you and that I apologize for causing you any trouble and for bleeding all over your boat. According to sources, Tsarnaev signed the note Yours, Dzhokhar, and added a friendly postscript calling for the death of U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. 
1	In a noteworthy departure from their usual shopping routine, the Dietrich family announced today that they would forego the regular mall near their home in favor of the good mall, located 45 minutes away. The good mall, which Dietrich household sources confirmed has the good stores, is reportedly 'bigger' and 'nicer' and worth the occasional trip, especially if the Macy's there is having a sale. 'The good mall has everything,' 44-year-old Paul Dietrich said of Harborview Plaza, a three-level shopping center built in 2002. '[Regular mall] Eastridge is fine, and it's closer, but with the holidays coming up we figured we might as well take the trip.' 'The food court is a lot nicer,' Dietrich added. Although it has been nine months since their last trip to the good mall, family members said they knew exactly which of its stores they planned to visit. Both Dietrich and his wife, Susan, who together run a small pool-supply business, expressed interest in patronizing one of the mall's anchor stores, Nordstrom, saying that the regular mall would never in a million years have a Nordstrom, and that it's cleaner than the JCPenney at Eastridge. In addition, Dietrich's two children, James, 14, and Amy, 13, said they were both excited because the good mall has a Finish Line, a Footaction, and a Foot Locker, whereas the normal mall only has a Foot Locker. 'I like the store they have there with all the swords,' James told reporters. 'It has these big swords that cost 200 bucks. Like, these big swords that knights use. It has cool knives, too. Switchblades and different knives.' 'I could spend all day fiddling around at Brookstone,' said James' father, noting that the regular mall had a Sharper Image until the chain closed in 2008. 'But if I know my wife, we'll be heading straight to Godiva. They charge an arm and a leg over there, but you can see them dipping the strawberries into the chocolate. It's neat.' Family members repeatedly pointed out that the good mall has a fast food Chinese place as well as a Japanese one where employees always give out chicken teriyaki samples. Moreover, the family said the regular mall only has one sit-down restaurant, whereas the good mall has three. According to Susan Dietrich, 42, that does not include the Damon's Grill that is part of the nice mall's recently built 'Broadway Walk,' an outdoor annex where she noted a Barnes & Noble is located. 'It's better than the Waldenbooks near us,' she said. 'Maybe we'll all see a movie after dinner,' she added. 'They've got a multiplex with like 20 screens. I think they even serve coffee at the concession stand.' According to the Dietrichs, the good mall has escalators that always work, large store directories in the corridors, and aesthetic touches that make it classier, including skylights, water fountains, and a continuous broadcast of classical music, even in the restrooms. The holidays, in particular, bring out the best in the good mall, the family confirmed. 'They do a nice job with Santa,' Susan Dietrich said. 'There's a little walk-in cottage, helper elves, and fake snow that actually looks pretty real. The one at Eastridge is just a Christmas tree with Santa sitting in front of it.' While there are drawbacks to shopping at the good mall, including higher prices and a larger, more confusing parking lot, the Dietrichs said those inconveniences were relatively minor. 'It's not like we visit all the time,' Paul Dietrich told reporters. 'It's just a fun treat for us every once in a while.' 'Oh, they also have Best Buy near there,' he added. 'It's not actually in the mall, but right across the way, so it might as well be.' 
2	What Was Just Leaked From The Officer Wilson Trial Is Shocking The Nation According to recent reports, the weight of the decision of the Darren Wilson vs. Michael Brown case has fallen on the grand jury. Now, a tweet has surfaced that suggests misconduct that could change Wilsons fate. The shocking tweet reads: I know someone sitting on the grand jury of this case. There isnt enough at this point to warrant an arrest. #Ferguson The tweet was posted by Susan M. Nichols (@thesusannichols), but it was brought to attention by Shaun King, an activist in the Brown case. Although the tweet has since been deleted, the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorneys Office has told reporters that they are looking into the alleged brief. According to The Washington Post, a breach of this information could cause the entire trial to restart and delay a verdict by months. This means that an entire new jury would need to be constructed. What do you think? Is this tweet enough to restart the case? 
2	Laura Bush Scolds Michelle Obama According to former first lady Laura Bush, first ladies dont deserve to be paid, she inferred in a wide-ranging interview with C-SPAN calledFirst Ladies: Influence and Image. The special is schedule to air at 9 PM on Monday, on C-SPAN, C-SPAN 3, and C-SPAN Radio. There are plenty of perks, believe me, she says in the interview, A chef, that was really great, I miss the chef. Bush stated that the more interesting question regarding first ladies is whether they should be able to work at a salary at the job they already had. Thats what well have to come to terms with, Bush says, Certainly a first gentleman might continue to work at whatever he did. She continued on to say, I think that the American public sees the first lady in very glamorous circumstancesI think what they may not imagine looking at the White House from the outside is that its actually a very normal life upstairsThe first lady probably, and I know I did, lays on the couch an reads a book. In my case, my cat would always curl up next to me. 
3	Heavy Metals, Vaccines, and Your HealthCatherine J. Frompovich Brittanys husband, Simon Monjack, coincidentally died five months after her death, apparently suffering from a similar fate. The toxicology tests, which Angelo Bertolotti, Brittanys father pursued, indicated there were 10 heavy metals with load levels higher than what the World Health Organization considers high levels. She was poisoned by heavy metal toxicity! According to Julia Daviss report on examiner.com, where the heavy metal test results conducted by The Carlson Company, LLC, were published, Brittanys body tissue (hair) contained exorbitant amounts of the following heavy metals. I have estimated how many times higher Brittanys hair values were than the Carlsons stated high value limits: Hair can be used for several types of testing, including drug testing that the armed services use. Any element can become incorporated in the body through ingestion, injection, inhalation, or absorption and becomes part of body tissue, including hair, nails, blood, bone, etc. Hair, nails, and blood are relatively harmless, painless, and easy specimens to obtain. The Great Plains Laboratory, Inc. of Lenexa, Kansas, offers a battery of tests listed on its Recommended Lab Tests webpage. You will notice that in the column Metals Hair Test, the following are listed: AD(H)D, Alzheimers/Dementia, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Candida, Chemical Exposure, Chronic Fatigue, Depression, Down Syndrome, Eating Disorders, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Psoriasis, Schizophrenia, Seizure Disorders, Tourette Syndrome Tics, and Vaccine Injury. Aluminum Everyone is most familiar with what lead (Pb) does in the body, so its been banned from paints, gasoline, and other products, especially anything that involves children, i.e., toysand rightfully so. However, no such concern nor restrictions apply to aluminum, a neurotoxin found in vaccines, foods, antiperspirants, cookware, preservatives and additives, pharmaceuticals, flocking agents in municipal water supply systems and, particularly, aluminum oxide [1], a micron size particulate used in chemtrail spraying from airplanes, which apparently is part of geoengineering global weather control, whose particulates humans breathe in ambient air. Dr. Russell Blaylock, MD, a neurologist and brain surgeon, has this to say about aluminum: My major concern is that there is evidence that they are spraying tons of nanosized aluminum compounds. It has been demonstrated in the scientific and medical literature that nanosized particles are infinitely more reactive and induce intense inflammation in a number of tissues. Of special concern is the effect of these nanoparticles on the brain and spinal cord, as a growing list of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimers dementia, Parkinsons disease, and Lou Gehrigs disease (ALS) are strongly related to exposure to environmental aluminum. [2] If anyone should know what hes talking about, certainly it is Dr. Blaylock. Selenium Selenium is a unique metal/mineral insofar as it is one the body needs to be healthy, but as with any nutrient, overload can be and is toxic. Too much selenium in the body results in Selenosis (having too much selenium in your body) results in gastrointestinal symptoms, hair loss, white blotchy nails, garlic breath odor, fatigue, irritability, and mild nerve damage. To be safe, The Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences set a tolerable upper dietary intake level for selenium at 400 micrograms per day for adults. [3] Tin According to the Global Healing Center, The nervous system is a target for a number of metals. Aluminum, arsenic, lead, and mercury are known to be incredibly neurotoxic. Lead and tin are thought to affect energy metabolism and can stall brain function by interfering with neurotransmitters. [4] Tin accumulates in the liver and kidneys. Barium Barium causes damage to the brain, liver, kidneys, and heart. Barium is a component in chemtrails being sprayed as part of geoengineering the weather. Since barium falls to earth and settles in drinking water supplies, humans probably are ingesting it in rather abnormal quantities. High levels of barium have been found in rain water samples and as noted in this TV news report. Listen carefully to what the poison control person says what barium will do, i.e., wear down the immune system. Is that a round-about-way to substantiate the need for more vaccines? Not to underestimate the severity of barium exposure, lets consider this: Barium is a highly toxic metal. Its extremely poisonous no one in their right mind would consider consuming it. At low doses, it acts as a muscle stimulant, while higher doses play havoc with the nervous system, causing an irregular heartbeat, tremor, weakness, anxiety, paralysis, and potentially death as the heart and lungs fail. Acute doses of less than 1 gram can be fatal to humans. Indeed barium carbonate is useful as rat poison. Unlike barium sulfate, barium carbonate dissolves in stomach acid, releasing the poisonous barium to do its rather nasty but efficient work. [5] The above information comes from RSC Advancing the Chemical Sciences, who certainly ought to know what they are talking about. Platinum Catalytic converters on automobiles are efficient sources of platinum, often termed mobile sources of platinum. The highest sources of dietary platinum are eggs and offal; fruit and vegetables contain negligible amounts of platinum, since it is a metal that is not plentiful in soil. The real danger of excess platinum in the body is the potentiation of toxicity of other heavy metals, especially selenium. Platinum salts can cause these adverse health effects: Uranium Uranium is dangerous, and its radioactivity and half-life can be extremely long. When it gets into the body, it can lead to cancer or kidney damage. Probably the most efficient route of coming in contact with uranium is from the air we breathe, plus food and water, according to none other than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. [7] Nuclear power plants use uranium and we have to wonder how many radioactive particles are emitted or released when they vent the stacks. According to Nuclear Information and Resource Service Radiation webpage, Government regulations allow radioactive water to be released to the environment containing permissible levels of contamination. Permissible does not mean safe. Detectors at reactors are set to allow contaminated water to be released, unfiltered, if below permissible legal levels. [So how is nuclear energy clean? Also, downstream water supplies apparently contain radioactivity.] Accurate accounting of all radioactive wastes released to the air, water and soil from the entire reactor fuel production system is simply not available. The system includes uranium mines and mills, chemical conversion, enrichment and fuel fabrication plants, nuclear power reactors, and radioactive waste storage pools, casks, and trenches. [8] [Emphasis added] The interaction of toxic and heavy metals in the body should be a major cause for concern, as their toxicity is a prime causation for disease and ultimately death, more than most people realize. Critical is the potentiation of toxic minerals, something apparently not considered by health professionals or health agencies, otherwise we would not have so many toxic elements permitted and used in vaccines, pharmaceuticals, consumer products, food, and warfare. I discuss those issues in depth 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 Birth Defects One thing we do know and is confirmed the rate of birth defects caused in countries like Iraq where depleted uranium warheads have been used. Here are some graphic and upsetting reports that the U.S. media ignore telling and investigating: Depleted uranium used by US forces blamed for birth defects and cancer in Iraq Listen carefully to what Dr. Chris Busby, PhD, says at the end of the YouTube. Also, keep in mind that U.S. troops likewise were exposed to those DU weapons of mass destruction, and that our service people will be bringing home adverse health effects due to that exposure in Iraq. The ironic part, as I see it, is the U.S. accused Saddam Hussein of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) as the reason for going to war whereas, in reality, it was the U.S. that actually used WMDs in the form of depleted and enriched uranium weapons in the war against the people of Iraq. God, forgive us, for our leaders dont know what they do or do they? Ten Years Later, U.S. Has Left Iraq with Mass Displacement Epidemic of Birth Defects, Cancers At 29 minutes on the timeline, you will hear the story about a U.S. service man who tested positive in the USA for being exposed to depleted uranium while in Iraq. Knowing What to Do For those interested in an interactive chart based upon your body weight, you can find the approximate amount of elements in your body here. For readers who are concerned about heavy metal exposure, or if you have a disease, there are numerous tests that can determine toxic burdens in the body. The most efficient resource you can utilize, in my opinion, is a holistic MD or CAM professional who understands the deleterious role toxic metals play in the body; can administer tests to determine them; will design and supervise a detox program; and will provide follow through protocols. Understanding the ramifications of heavy metal potentiation is illustrated in this: According to Dr. David Ayoub, MD, aluminum will make whatever amount of mercury you have in your system even more toxic. [9] Dr. Ayoubs website is an excellent resource. The following is what potentiation is all about: A small dose of mercury that kills 1 in 100 rats and a dose of aluminum that will kill 1 in 100 rats, when combined have a striking effect: all the rats die. Doses of mercury that have a 1 percent mortality will have a 100 percent mortality rate if some aluminum is there. Vaccines contain aluminum. (Doctor Donald W. Miller, Jr., Mercury on the Mind) Note both mercury and aluminum are found in MANY vaccines. [10] Tests were done on lab rats regarding mercury and aluminum potentiation. However, I dont know about other tests performed regarding other heavy metals potentiation. If a scientist has performed such studies and has that information, will you please let me know in the comment section below? Undoubtedly, everyone is familiar with the saying, Get the lead out. Well, theres more than lead that you may have to get out. Nevertheless, there still is another potentiation problem, I believe, and it can be found in chemicals, especially chemical compounds found in pharmaceuticals and what, if any, potentiation they have on heavy metals or other chemicals. We know that certain medicines are not to be taken with each other. There is a website to check on them; its Drug Interaction Checker. Also, we know that certain prescription drugs [at least 85] should not be taken with grapefruit because of potentiation effects. If the above is known, how come the U.S. FDA mandates vaccines that vaccine makers produce and MDs unquestionably continue to inoculate infants and toddlers with, that include numerous chemicals and toxic metal cocktails as many as nine at one time and not question if there are any interactions or potentiation that are causing childrens health anomalies and problems, especially the Autism Spectrum Disorder or the horrendous problems, including deaths, attributed to HPV vaccines? Lastly, heres something parents ought to consider, I think: When baby has his or her first haircut, collect the trimmings and submit them to your holistic physician who can perform a hair mineral/metal assay/test as part of your childs routine preventive healthcare practices, especially if your child receives vaccinations. Those hair test results could be the first scientific clue as to what may happen with your childs future health, as heavy metals lodge in the body and do cause damage especially neurological as we have seen from the above information.

1	Acknowledging that its current programs are insufficient to meet the needs of a fast-paced, 21st-century population, the Chinese Ministry of Justice held a press conference Friday affirming its commitment to fixing the nations crumbling reeducation system. According to government officials, the steady decline in the quality of reeducation is evidenced by the systems serious overcrowding, dilapidated correctional facilities, and outdated propaganda materials, which have left a large percentage of Chinas political prisoners unprepared for life as obedient citizens. We are falling well short of the reeducation needs of this country and failing a whole generation of dissidents, said justice minister Wu Aiying, lamenting that many institutions currently rely on standardized reprogramming curriculums that havent been updated since the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s. We need better reeducators who know how to use modern teaching and disciplinary technologies if we want to inspire our people to become fully subservient pawns of the state. It is crucial that we find ways to attract the best instructors to our facilities, the devoted ones who arent just in it for the paycheck, Wu added. For China to remain competitive, it is of the utmost importance that we hire administrators who have the passion and know-how to promote the inability to think independently. Speaking candidly with reporters, several top Justice Ministry officials admitted that the majority of reeducators do not actively engage with Chinas largest generation of prisoners to date, noting that most instructors lack passion and enthusiasm for their daily thought-suppression and punishment sessions. Moreover, sources confirmed that many of the nations reeducation centers are forced to make do with indoctrination videos that are only available on grainy, damaged VHS tapes, while others still reportedly utilize antiquated audio equipment to play tinny records of the Chinese National Anthem every 15 minutes. The last thing we want is for state prisoners to fall behind and end up getting stuck in the system for several extra years. If we get them out there, we know they can thrive as pliant mouthpieces for the Communist Party. State officials also stressed the need for rapid improvement, citing international comparison studies that showed Chinese reeducation facilities consistently ranked behind those of North Korea in coercive persuasion tactics and torturing techniques. These dissidents simply cannot be expected to learn when our camps have one overworked instructor juggling the needs of 50 prisoners, said Wu, adding that, because of their onerous workloads, administrators often had no choice but to stay late, even after a full 16-hour day of shocking journalists with electric prods until they confessed to subverting state authority. Because our rooms are crammed so full, many reeducators feel unmotivated to do anything but teach to the Little Red Book; they never provide individualized attention to dissidents. The last thing we want is for state prisoners to fall behind and end up getting stuck in the system for several extra years, she continued. If we get them out there, we know they can thrive as pliant mouthpieces for the Communist Party. Many administrators, meanwhile, reportedly expressed their growing frustration with the low budgets at their reeducation facilities, noting that dissidents were often still handwriting confessions and that some programs were so underfunded instructors had to buy their own supplies for daily torture exercises. People dont realize how much easier it becomes to dismantle the mental faculties of members of an underground artistic movement and insert them back into society as perfectly behaved factory workers when youre given the right tools and training, said Gao Yang, the current head of Huludao City Correctional Camp. We believe that these people can go on to change the world in exactly the way we prescribe, as long as were able to adequately prepare them for a life of complete submission and fealty. Thats why its so important that we invest heavily in our reeducation system to build a better future for China, Gao continued. Or, alternatively, we could just shoot them all dead. 
1	Calculating how the video games expansion packs would impact her finances, local woman Jennifer Schneider confirmed Friday that she had factored the cost of the new downloadable content for Assassins Creed Syndicate into her regular monthly living expenses. If I pack a lunch every day instead of going out to eat, I should be able to swing the season pass, said Schneider, who carefully tallied up the cost of the video games add-ons, such as the Jack the Ripper campaign and the 500 Helix Credits Pack, alongside her rent, groceries, utilities, and other basic needs. I know I should just wait and save up for it, but if Im already shelling out $60 for the game, I might as well spend the extra 30 bucks and make the most of this investment. I could really use the weapons in the Steampunk Pack. Plus, all season pass members receive a permanent XP boost. Maybe I can put off upgrading my phone plan for a few more weeks so I wont take such a hit. At press time, sources confirmed that Schneider was referring to pre-ordering the upcoming Halo release as an emergency expense. 
1	Sensing the 9-year-old is now old enough to engage in a heated debate on the subject, Stephen A. Smith reportedly decided Monday that his son is finally ready for the sex argument. Its a big milestone in every father-son relationship to sit your child down and dispute his pathetic ideas about the birds and bees, said Smith, fondly remembering his own father belligerently talking over him when he got the sex argument as a boy. Hes at that age where hes starting to hear some things about sex at school, so its important for me as a parent to corner him on his logical inconsistencies and force him to admit he doesnt have the experience to know what the hell hes talking about. Smith said he is ready to have the argument as soon as his son gets home from school and can get in front of a camera. 
1	Kwanzaa officials received sobering news Monday, as the Department of Commerce announced that Kwanzaa holiday sales for the U.S. totalled $178. The figure represents the lowest total since 1992, the year the holiday was invented. At Abe's Kwanzaa Emporium in Los Angeles, rows of unsold Kwanzaa trees were thrown out, while rolls of Kwanzaa-themed wrapping paper gathered dust in giant bins. Even A&M Records' much-hyped holiday CD, A Bryan Adams Kwanzaa, fared poorly, selling just three copies. 
1	Noting how he piled on yet another healthy practice to his perfectly goddamned balanced lifestyle, exasperated friends confirmed Wednesday that annoying, well-adjusted 32-year-old Ryan Miller is even fucking meditating now. Christ, the emotionally stable fucker already loves his job, exercises four times a week, and now he has the balls to spend 10 minutes every morning sitting quietly and breathing deeply to clear his mind, said longtime friend Michael Saunders, adding that it was bad enough when the irritatingly healthy Miller switched from drinking coffee to herbal tea. Now, along with having great, fulfilling relationships with friends and family, Ryans built time into his healthy lifestyle to further improve his fucking self-awareness and concentration. God, that even-tempered asshole claims its really reducing his stress, too. Prick. At press time, Saunders told reporters that if his aggravating, good-natured friend posted one more sun salutation picture on Facebook, he would unfriend the man on the spot. 
2	Obamas Do Sickening Thing Right After They Step Off The Plane... Watch Closely On Monday, the Obama family arrived in Washington D.C. from their two-week vacation in Hawaii. The first family is now approaching their final weeks in the White Houseand they dont look very happy about it. Daily Mail was the first to comment on the fact that both Sasha and Malia Obama looked miserable as they left. This will likely be the last time they arrive at the Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland on Air Force One. They will no longer experience the lavish lifestyle their parents have indulged in. Barack and Michelle reportedly walked behind the girls, wearing black and gray clothing that gave them the appearance of going to a funeral. This is a stark contrast to the Obamas we saw in their 16 days on the Island. The family rented a multi-million dollar mansion and were spotted heading to the gym, playing golf with friends, and dining out at expensive restaurants. The Washington Times reports that taxpayers have spent at least $35 million on Obamas Hawaiian vacations alone since he entered the White House. These monumental costs help to pay for the security entourage Obama brings with him to each of his fancy dinners and travel costs for everyone involved. The Secret Service and the Air Force are being abused by unnecessary travel, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. Unnecessary presidential travel for fundraising and luxury vacations on the taxpayers dime would be a good target for reform for the incoming Trump administration. Its no longer the Obamas are bummedtheir free ride is almost over. What do you think? Are you ready for the Obamas to be out of the White House once and for all? 
1	According to team sources, Clippers power forward Blake Griffin was left in total shock and despair Wednesday after walking in on teammate Chris Paul throwing lobs to power forward Lamar Odom. Weve been together for two years, and I didnt think we had any real problems on the frontcourtI just cant believe hed do this to me, said Griffin, who after a recent practice stumbled upon Paul standing at the free-throw line while a clearly embarrassed Odom hung from the rim in stunned silence. I really thought he only had eyes for me when flipping the ball up for a huge jam. I guess I was wrong. At press time, Paul was reportedly outside the teams locker room desperately pleading with Griffin to just come out and talk. 
1	As the halls lights flickered and the floor trembled for minutes on end, sources confirmed that great torrents of blood ran down the walls of the House of Representatives Monday as the chamber itself selected a new speaker. According to reports, the blood flooded the chambers upper gallery and then spilled over onto the speakers rostrum, at which point the name Peter Roskam, intoned in an unholy growl that seemed to rise from the very depths of damnation, could be heard reverberating throughout the Capitol. Witnesses told reporters that after hearing his name called, the Illinois Republican and chairman of the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Oversight was visibly shaking as he walked alone to the front of the chamber and seated himself in the blood-drenched speakers chair. At press time, House Republicans had decided that Roskam had not been willing enough to take on President Obama and were aggressively seeking his replacement. 
2	Obama Moves To Override House GOP In Devastating Veto For Syrian Refugees... This Will Change Everything Earlier this week, President Obama threatened to veto important legislation that requires an intense screening of Syrian refugees. The bill calls for FBI background checks and sign-offs from top officials before a refugee can enter our country. The White House is standing behind Obamas statement, claiming that the bill would create significant delays and obstacles. Given the lives at stake and the critical importance to our partners in the Middle East and Europe of American leadership in addressing the Syrian refugee crisis[Obama] would veto the bill, the White house continued. Despite the concerns of leaders throughout the country, Obama continues to put the safety of refugees above the safety of American citizens. Slamming the door in the face of refugees would betray our deepest values, Obama tweeted yesterday. Thats not who we are. And its not what were going to do. Being compassionate doesnt mean we have to have reckless policies that put American lives at risk, Rep. Richard Hudson argued, defending the House bill. What do you think? Are you sick of Obama putting Americans at risk? 
1	Moments after picking up his carryout order from local restaurant Hunan Palace Monday evening, area man Alden Welch, 31, reportedly experienced a sharp sense of unease upon noticing his takeout bag felt unusually light. Unable to effectively account for the bags seemingly low weight given the amount of food he had ordered, sources confirmed that Welch grappled with his increasing alarm and anxiety as he exited the establishment and walked back to his nearby car, quickly becoming entirely occupied by the disconcerting thought that one or more food items had been left out. Wait, this cant be right, Welch reportedly said to himself, slowing his pace as he anxiously appraised the heft of the brown paper sack in an effort to ascertain its likelihood of containing the two entres, sides of crab rangoon and egg rolls, and double order of white rice he had called in. It usually weighs more than this. It was definitely heavier last time, he added with audible concern. As he continued to put distance between himself and the neighborhood Chinese restaurant, sources confirmed that Welchs mind raced through a number of scenarios to explain the bags decreased weight, including a recent change in portion sizes or an uncharacteristic lack of napkins, chopsticks, fortune cookies, and soy sauce packets. In spite of the wealth of hypothetical scenarios he is said to have envisioned, reports indicate that none of these conjectures was able to dissuade Welch from the unwelcome conclusion that at least one item had, in fact, been omitted from his carryout order. After more than a minute of anguished worrying, onlookers reported that Welch paused on the sidewalk and held the stapled-shut bag aloft at eye-level, rotating it to get a view of all sides. Apparently unsatisfied with his assessment, sources said Welch then scanned the receipt taped to the bags side, mentally ticking off each item on the sales slipincluding the broccoli beef combo and the extra duck sauceto confirm that his phone order had gone through accurately. Witnesses confirmed that Welch, his brow furrowed in evident bafflement and dismay, then resumed hesitantly walking toward his parking spot. Maybe they put the rice and the main dishes in the same box, which would mean I got less rice than usual, Welch said, as he ran his hands over the bag in an attempt to probe the outlines of its indeterminate number of cartons and plastic containers. And the entres came with wonton soup last time, but maybe they dont do that anymore. Theres no way theres soup in there. Reports confirmed that Welchs thoughts grew even more frantic and distressed as he considered the possibility that the abnormally hectic pace at Hunan Palace during its dinnertime rush could have led to a major oversight on his order. Additionally, Welchs feverish mind is said to have quickly generated the additional prospect that the new, seemingly untrained employee standing at the register had failed to properly pack Welchs order prior to his arrival, a revelation that caused the uneasy man to look back over his shoulder at the Hunan Palace awning that was now a distant two blocks behind him. Moreover, Welch reportedly noted that he himself had sped through the purchasing process in anticipation of getting home to watch Game Of Thrones on HBO Go, leading him to abruptly stop in his tracks and feel a twinge of panic pass through his body as he realized there may have been a second carryout bag sitting on the counter that he had neglected to take. Maybe I should go back, Welch said as he reached his car, carefully weighing his mounting hunger and desire to avoid a long explanation at the Hunan Palace counter against the possibility that his order had been catastrophically botched. If they just forgot the extra rice, I can live with that. Thats no big deal. But jeez, what if its the cashew chicken? he added with heightened alarm. Id definitely have to go back. At press time, onlookers observed a frenzied Welch emptying and spreading out the entirety of the bags contents onto the hood of his car, opening each container as traffic sped alongside him. 
3	Whole Foods sued for false non-GMO labelingJon Rappoport The plaintiffs claim? Whole Foods advertised and sold Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Almond Milk and Vanilla Almond Milk with non-GMO labels, when these products hadnt been verified as such by the Non-GMO Project. The Non-GMO Project is, by far, the largest North American group that tests and verifies food products as non-GMO, and grants the use of its Verified seal. Concerning the lawsuit, Whole Foods declined to comment. The Non-GMO Project declined to comment. Blue Diamond declined to comment. Ongoing litigationwe werent involvedconfidentiality of clients Other Blue Diamond almond products bearing the non-GMO seal have been approved by the Non-GMO Project. So is this simply a case of a clerical error? The plaintiff certainly doesnt think her lawsuit is trivial. This is a class-action suit, so there are other plaintiffs. The big question is, are there other products on the shelves at Whole Foods which claim to be non-GMO, but arent verified? In 2013, Whole Foods announced a plan to label every product in its stores, so customers could tell whether or not they contain GMOs. The deadline is 2018. Meanwhile, Whole Foods states they are working with their suppliers to vastly increase the number of non-GMO food products available to customers. As reported by topclassactions.com (11/10/15), plaintiff Richard claims she purchased the Almond Breeze products at one to two times per week between January and June [at Whole Foods]. Is she asserting that the unverified and illegitimate non-GMO label has been present on those products for six months? If the case moves forward, and is not dismissed by a judge, well find out more. On its website, Blue Diamond states that it uses no GMOs in its almond products.

3	Why Is the IRS Spying on Americans Phone Calls?By Derrick Broze At a congressional hearing last Wednesday, officials with the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security released new details about the federal governments use of Stingray cellphone surveillance. Stingrays, also known as cell site simulators, constitute another example of military tools finding their way into the hands of federal agencies and local police departments across the United States. According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation: The Stingray is 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, the government can figure out who, when and to where you are calling, the precise location of every device within the range, and with some devices, even capture the content of your conversations. Elana Tyrangiel, a deputy assistant attorney at the Justice Department, told lawmakers the particular cell site simulators employed by the DOJ do not collect the content of calls. The devices do, however, collect location and the number being dialed. Much of the discussion at the hearing centered around the use of warrants. In early September, the Justice Department announced rules about how the department will handle the use of Stingrays, including new warrant requirements. After the rules were announced, Senator Patrick Leahy, the ranking member on the Senates Judiciary Committee, challenged the warrant exemptions and the overall effectiveness of the rules. According to the District Sentinel, Leahy stated,I will press the Department to justify them. As of last week, the Department of Homeland Security is now following similar rules. Officials warned Congress the devices would be used without obtaining warrants in time-sensitive, emergency situations. California Congressman Ted Lieu, a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, told CNN he believes The mass surveillance of peoples [sic] cell phone signals requires a warrant. The AP reports that during the hearing, Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Seth M. Stodder revealed a new policy that allows the Secret Service to use cell site simulators without a warrant if they believe there is a nonspecific threat to the president or another protected person. Stodder stated that under exceptional circumstances, exceptions would be made and use of the device would only require approval from executive-level personnel at Secret Service headquarters and the U.S. attorney for the relevant jurisdiction. Despite the exemption, Stodder said the Secret Service would not use the devices in routine criminal investigations. Just days after the congressional hearing, The Guardian has revealed the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is also making use of the Stingray devices. The Guardian reports: Invoices obtained following a request under the Freedom of Information Act show purchases made in 2009 and 2012 by the federal tax agency with Harris Corporation, one of a number of companies that manufacture the devices. Privacy advocates said the revelation shows the wide proliferation of this very invasive surveillance technology. The 2009 IRS/Harris Corp invoice is mostly redacted under section B(4) of the Freedom of Information Act, which is intended to protect trade secrets and privileged information. However, an invoice from 2012, which is also partially redacted, reports that the agency spent $65,652 on upgrading a Stingray II to a HailStorm, a more powerful version of the same device, as well as $6,000 on training from Harris Corporation. The HailStorm is an upgraded version of the Stingray, which is capable of gathering the actual contents of conversations and images in addition to gathering location and numbers dialed. The history of the use of Stingrays is filled with secrecy, lies, and redacted documents. The FBI, the Harris Corporation, and local police departments continue to hide the details of how exactly the devices are being used. Should we trust government officials when they tell us they will get a warrant unless exceptional circumstances arise? Who defines what exactly exceptional means anyway? It would be wise for all those who value privacy and freedom to begin challenging the official narrative and investing in technologies that can counter the States surveillance. We should also take a moment to acknowledge all the activists and journalists who have been working to expose this issue for the last several years. As Christopher Soghoian, an ACLU technologist, pointed out, This is the first ever congressional hearing on Stingrays. This is a device the FBI started using in 1995. It shouldnt take 20 years to get a hearing on a surveillance technology. It is through the work of the awakened masses that the collective springs into action. Without YOU spreading information through the internet and in the streets, this important topic would not have become part of the national dialogue. However, we must not rest. There is much work to do. For a more in-depth look at the use of Stingrays, please read this investigation. This article (Why Is the IRS Spying on Americans Phone Calls?) is free and open source.

If you spot a typo, email edits@theantimedia.org. Because its just one tentacle of the same NWO 4th Reich fascist monster thats why! The IRS, like ALL government agencies, must understand this: Government was NEVER granted powers above WE THE PEOPLE, in FACT, it was PURPOSELY LIMITED, which is why they were ony granted ENUMERATED AUTHORITY, and ONLY for FEDERAL matters, NOT state! Totally agree, we need people to come together and fight this stuff. Nobody seems to listen. This surveillence is same across europe and a precursor to people rioting when they find themselves in a western global dictatorship. There will be total control using military powers when cash is taken out of use. 
3	Why We All Should Be Concerned Over Citizen Rankings and How Scores are CalculatedBy Kristan T. Harris Eventually we maysee citizen rankings become more prominent and even dictate if you can fly, leave the country, access government buildings, shoot a smart gun,receive a job, healthcare coverage you will receive, entera self-driving carand even what school your children may attend. Socially, the speculative reality is that a citizen score would gather data from social media sites such as Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram. Facebook, which reads likea public diary, already records your conversations and reports controversial activity to local police. The system would undoubtedlycalculate a scorebased on your friends, political postings, arguments and relationships. If you recently had conversations about suicide or owning firearms, expect your threat rating to increase. Dating sites are no exception to metadata collection. Websites such as OK Cupid ask a plethora of bizarre questions ranging from fringe political ideology, drug usage and relationship questions. Tinder is also starting to rank their clients using their system to calculate your attractiveness or charm factor. Your school records will beaccessible to the cause. Under the governments new Common Core curriculum all sorts of metadata is collected on your children and will eventually be used to asses their healthcare coverage, thought process,threat ranking, sociability and potential to contribute to society. This ranking could be used by a judge to dictate what kind of sentence your child should receive for a crime or by a college to be the deciding factor if your child isadmitted to the school for education. Credit card purchases online and offlinewillplay a huge factor in calculating your score. Your purchase history tells the government, law enforcement and anyone who has access to this data your state of health,what weapons you own,places you like to frequent, your religious beliefs and your current traveling trends. Moral of the story is, use cash as much as possible and learn to keep it out of the bank. Your Internet search historyis not hands off. Your search historymay reveal themostpersonal andintimate details of your privateday-to-day routines, includingyour interests, shopping trends, political affiliationand thought process. Vehicles will also help contribute to the meta data collection to figure out if youre a 5-star citizen. All new cars have black boxes now that can connectto built in WiFi systems that all roads, lights and cars will share and communicate with in the near futureand be sold tomake way for driverless cars. A citizen ranking would make it easy for a driverless car to dictate who will have to die in an automobile accident due to weather conditions or vehicle malfunction. It has already been announced that self-driving cars will decide whether you die or not. Childrenwould naturally receive a higher ranking as well as government officials and law enforcement. These rankings are needed for artificial intelligence to properly identify and interact with humans. Who would of thought that the Patriot Act would lead to all of this? Kristan T. Harris writes for TheRundownLive.com Maybe Ms. Harris was too young to remember this but anyone who thought The Patriot Act would actually come to this was called a doomsayer nut job, or worse. Yes, quite a few people accurately predicted this slippery slope were now sliding down. Worry not though, the citizen score scam will have about as much relevance to reality as the credit score scam- just another control game best dealt with by not playing. Drive an old car, dont cook your brain with a cellphone, stop playing Facebook drone jockey, and pretty soon youll fall off their radar and cease to exist because youre not worth noticing. Thats right where you want to be. Not really. When we go cashless, and we will eventually go cashless, you will be turned off and have no access to a job, food, shelter, basic services, etc. Yeah they might not be able to find you, but you wont live for long. At least not in any way that resembles modern life. Thats not how I see it playing out. But if you choose to accept that kind of defeat, that is what you will experience. Many working people got into personal financial debt by playing the credit score game, which several bankers told me was nothing but a scam to get everyone to pay their bills on time and be good citizen doobees. The only way to win a con game is not to play. They cannot force you to play, you go into it willingly by accepting defeat before the game starts just as you are doing now. Earth is a free will planet and when you start exercising your free will, you are free. Simplistic? Or simple? Its whatever you choose to make it. When and how did you learn to live off of air and sunshine? I do not accept defeat but opting out will only lead to being cut off/out and therefore powerless. The lesson now is the same as it was for the protesters of the 60s. You can not change the establishment by standing outside of it and throwing rocks. Engagement is the only way. You are just repackaging Learys Turn on tune in and drop out. It didnt work then and it wont work now. Actually, the 60s was a gas. Looks like we came away with different perspectives on that era. And opting out is a form of engagement. Lots of guys ran to Canada during the war because they refused to be drafted into war they didnt believe in. Some people still call them cowards, I call them heroes. Thats what I learned in the 60s. ***this is why Im voting for Rand Paul People just dont seem to get this concept.even though they shot one of those Oregon guys in the head with his hands up in the air (murdered him in cold blood).and where is a picture of that bullet ridden car when they claimed they only shot 3 times? Probably in some body shop having all the holes filled. When Obama armed all the agencies I knew we would be in martial law eventually.and none of the candidates are talking about taking arms away from those agencies and that worries me. I think Rand Paul would obviously do it because of statements like this, but what about Cruz or Trump.somehow I doubt THEY would Trump even defends NSA spying on everybody.and what would be the purpose of that? Sounds like TYRANNY to me. We should be profiling not looking for a needle in a haystack. Totalitarianism pure and simple. The citizens have already applied threat scores on public and private actors using reality rather than virtual reality as its source. We are way ahead Nowhere in the link for driverless cars deciding who will die does it even mention driverless cars, let alone anything about them deciding who will die. Disappointing, Kristen Harris selfnews Post. 
1	Following the Eagles NFC divisional playoff victory over the Giants, Archie Manning, retired NFL player and father of Peyton and Eli Manning, stunned the football world by announcing Monday that Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb is also his son. 'While traveling with the Saints I met a very special woman in Chicago, and from our brief but heated union sprang a boya boy who naturally grew to play quarterback,' Manning said during an impromptu interview, adding that he recognized the boy's mother from a recent Campbell's Chunky Soup commercial. 'I've kept it a secret all this time, but when my long-lost son defeated Eli last week, I couldn't hold my fatherly pride back any longer. I'm certain Atticus McNabb Manningthe man you all know as Donovanwill bring another Super Bowl MVP Award to the Manning house.' Manning admitted it would be 'extremely difficult' to choose which quarterbacking son he would root for in the upcoming Ravens-Steelers AFC Championship Game. 
3	When Truth Is Suppressed Countries DieDr. Paul Craig Roberts America, we were told, was moving upscale. Our new role in the world economy was to innovate and develop the new products that the dirty fingernail economies would produce. The money was in the innovation, they said, not in the simple task of production. As I consistently warned, the high-wage service economy based on imagination and ingenuity that Harvard professor and offshoring advocate Michael Porter promised us as our reward for giving up dirty fingernail jobs was a figment of Porters imagination. Over the decade I repeated myself many times: Innovation takes place where things are made. Innovation will move abroad with the manufacturing. This is not what corporations or their shills such as Porter wanted to hear. Corporations were boosting their profits by getting rid of their American employees and replacing them with lowly paid foreigners. Porters job was to reassure the sheeple so that no outcry would materialize against the greed that was hollowing out the US economy. Now comes a study conducted by 20 MIT professors and their graduate students that concludes on the basis of the facts that the loss of companies that can make things will end up in the loss of research than can invent them. (Source) Two years ago in 2011 a Nobel prize-winning economist, Michael Spence, confirmed my decade-old conclusion that the US economy no longer had the capability to create any jobs except low-wage domestic service jobs that do not produce tradable goods and services that can be exported to reduce the massive US trade deficit. Spence validated my argument that the new economy was the offshored economy. Spence concluded that the outlook for the US economy and US employment is dire. The US faces a long-term structural challenge with respect to the quantity and quality of employment opportunities in the United States. A related set of challenges concerns the income distribution; almost all incremental employment has occurred in the non-tradable sector, which has experienced much slower growth in value added per employee. Because that number is highly correlated with income, it goes a long way to explain the stagnation of wages across large segments of the workforce. (Source) There has been no more public policy response to Spences conclusion than to my identical conclusion. We have heard all our lives that ideas are the most powerful force and prevail over material interests. Perhaps this was once true, but that would have been in previous times when material interests did not control the media, the universities, and the publishing companies along with the government. Voices such as mine, that of a high US Treasury official, and that of Spence, a Nobel prize winner, cannot compete with the voices paid by Big Money. Today the bulk of the population knows nothing except the propaganda fed to them by the oligarchic interests. They sit in front of Fox News or CNN and ingest it all. Those who fancy themselves more sophisticated get the same dose of lies from the New York Times. If those who speak truth cannot be bought off or shut up, they are ignored or demonized. Almost everything Americans need to know is off limits in public discussion. Anyone who broaches the truth becomes an anti-American, a terrorist sympathizer, a commie-socialist, a conspiracy theorist, an anti-semite, a kook, or some other name designed to scare Americans away from the message of truth. The corrupt corporations, the corrupt media, and the corrupt US government have insulated the country from truth. The result will be a massive crash. A country built on lies is like a house built on sand: Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock [truth]. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand [lies].The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.

3	Boston Cop Involved In Watertown Shootout Dies At 28Lucas Bowser In a Boston Globe article, a law enforcement official who knew Simmonds, said he was a health nut and loved to do CrossFit, run road races, and play basketball, and that he was, the picture of health. According to Boston police Sergeant Michael McCarthy, the medical emergency happened just after lunch, during in-service training at the Boston police academy in Hyde Park. He was taken to the hospital and died late Thursday night. No further explanation has been given as to how he died. He was only 28 years old. McCarthy said that Simmonds had been in the shootout with the alleged Marathon bombers and had suffered a head injury from the blast of an explosive thrown at him. For his bravery in the Watertown shootout, Simmonds received the departments highest honor, the Schroeder Brothers Memorial Medal. Simmonds father said, he was not one to brag about the award, and that he didnt like to be in the spotlight, so he didnt showboat it too much. According to My Fox Boston, Simmonds happened to be in that area the night of the Watertown shootout and he and his partner exchanged gunfire with the suspects. BPD Superintendent In Chief William Gross states that, he was one of the first people to respond and did engage the suspects, and he was wounded. Simmonds service seem to be missing from many accounts of the shootout, which have various versions, so it is unfortunate that he died before many people might have had a chance to learn what his role or experience was during that night. The story of the shootout remains somewhat mysterious as the major news networks, quoting anonymous officials, reported drastically different versions of what happened. Not much had been heard from the officers themselves until MSNBCs Lawrence ODonnell scored one of the only interviews with the members of the Watertown Police who claimed to be the first on the scene. Their account doesnt mention Simmonds being, one of the first people to respond, in fact their account doesnt mention Simmonds at all. ODonnell does little to clear the events up, concerned instead with highlighting how heroic the officers were. My Fox Bostons Heather Hegedus reports, it is another sad day for Bostons heroes, this is the fourth time in just a couple of weeks that one of Bostons first responders has died in an untimely manner. Another officer who had taken part in the Boston Marathon bombing investigation, identified as Gregory Maloney, had just recently died in a motorcycle accident while traveling with a fellow officer. The cause of the crash is still being investigated. Lucas Bowser writes for Victory Post where this first appeared. 
1	Snack physicists at Nabisco Labs announced Friday the first successful synthesis of a Quadriscuit cracker, a salty treat long postulated by the theoretical models of food scientists but never confirmed by experiment until now. At the moment, this hyperwafer can only exist for six milliseconds in a precisely calibrated field of magnetic energy, positrons, roasted garlic, and beta particles, lab chief Dr. Paul Ellison told reporters at a press conference outside Nabiscos $200 million seven-whole-grain accelerator. However, by bombarding the cracker with neutrons until it reaches critical levels of zestiness and crunchability, we believe we can one day develop a chemically stable and edible Quadriscuit. Needless to say, such an irresistibly tasty breakthrough could upend everything we thought we knew about snacking. Ellison added that the snacks existence cannot be explained by classical Fig Newtonian physics.

2	Find Out Why Obama Hired A High Price Defense Attorney Recent reports have indicated that President Barack Obama has hired a new defense attorney to act as the official White House counsel. With all the scandals being investigated by the media, its no surprise that the administration is seeking the defense of the high-priced lawyer. Neil Eggleston was hired in early April, and given his reputation, one might assume that Obama was seeking to get himself some strong preemptive protection. With controversies like Benghazi and questions about IRS actions, it looks like Eggleston couldnt have been hired soon enough. Still, even with all the present media attention, the hire raises questions as to what exactly the White House is preparing for. Eggleston is the kind of guy you go to when someone tells you time to lawyer up, claimed the White House Dossier, Hes a veteran at cleaning up ethics messes for politicians, most notably Bill Clinton, whom he aided during the Whitewater probes and the Monica Lewinsky affair, double entendre intended. Eggleston was also the lawyer on the case of Rahm Emmanual, as he was being charged with a scandal that ultimately but governor Rod Blagojevich in jail. So if Eggleston is the guy to hire when things get shaky, we cant help but wonder what Obama fears he may soon be facing. In all honesty, we cant blame the guy. After all, hes facing rumors of impeachment.

2	You Wont Believe What Obama Did To His OWN Daughter Disgraceful 17-year-old Malia Obama started her senior year of high school just a few weeks ago, and she is already debating what college she wants to go to next fall. One piece of advice that Ive give her is not to stress too much about having to get into one particular college, Obama said while speaking to students in Des Moines last month. Just because its not some name-brand, famous, fancy school doesnt mean that youre not going to get a great education there. Obama also said that he encourages college students to keep your grades up until you get in, and after that, make sure you pass. Were not surprised about Obamas terrible parenting advice, but we hope that hed at least keep it to his own children. Not to mention, who is Obama kidding? His daughter has already gone to tour six of the eight Ivy League schools, including Brown, Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, the University of Pennsylvania and Yale. 
1	Dr. Terrance Earnhardt, youngest son of the late NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt, died Friday when the light-rail Muni Metro train he was riding home from his oncology practice derailed, delivering one final embarrassment to the racing family. 'It's a shame things had to come to this, but at least they finally have some closure and can stop worrying about him politely moving to the center of the vehicle so that other bus passengers have room to board,' said longtime family friend Darrell Waltrip. 'I know it tore Dale up inside, but after Terry confessed he didn't like competition or going fast and had a deep interest in alternative transportation solutions that reduced society's carbon footprint, they never spoke again. It was for the best.' The Earnhardt family is planning a private mourning lap Wednesday and has posthumously named Terrance the driver of the number 37 Quaker State Oil Additives Chevrolet.

1	Acknowledging years of marital dissatisfaction and a noticeable increase in her vampire husband's weight, 43-year-old Sara Pastor told reporters Thursday that she often seeks solace by losing herself in the escapist fantasy of the Twilight novels. The Pastors settle in for what has become a typical Friday night together. The New Orleans resident said it's been ages since her husband, 834-year-old Andrei Pastor, bought her flowers, took her dancing, or appeared at her second-story window and charmed her into allowing him inside. According to Sara, she purchased the first book in Stephenie Meyer's young-adult vampire romance series 14 months ago, while waiting for her husband to pick her up from the airport, and has taken refuge in the novels ever since. 'Edward is so romantic,' said Pastor, referring to Edward Cullen, Twilight's vampire hero. 'He loves [17-year-old protagonist] Bella so much that he runs away from her to protect her. My husband, on the other hand, hasn't posed any kind of danger to me in years.' 'Sometimes I wish I could just open up the pages and jump right into Bella's skin,' Sara continued. 'I know it's silly, but what's wrong with wanting a little romance and adventure from your undead husband?' Sara and Andrei met in 1988, when, as college students, they both volunteered to organize a campus blood drive. Sara reportedly found Andrei's nocturnal lifestyle exotic and thrilling, and two years later, they were married in a nighttime ceremony guests described as a 'storybook wedding.' At first Sara was content with her role as homemaker, cleaning the vast Gothic manse the couple shared and cooking meals that met the strict sanguinary requirements of Andrei's diet. But according to friends, things started to change a few years ago. Sara Pastor can't even remember the last time her husband battled a wolf for her affection. Sara's dream husband began spending more and more time secluded in darkened alcoves with his cape drawn over his face. Before long, Andreionce a stealthy hunter who easily stalked young and healthy preystarted feeding excessively on any slow-moving person who happened to wander by the house, and soon ballooned to almost twice his normal weight. 'When we were first married, Andrei was so dark and mysterious,' Pastor said wistfully. 'These days, pretty much all he does is sit around swilling blood and watching ESPN.' Added Pastor, 'Edward would never do that to Bella.' Now, sources close to the couple report, whenever Andrei leaves the house to feast on the vital fluids of a bedridden shut-in, Sara retreats to the fictional world of Forks, WA, often reading and rereading the same erotic passages from her dog-eared copy of Breaking Dawn. 'Arizona, Italy, BrazilEdward Cullen travels everywhere for his love,' said Pastor, sounding increasingly flustered. 'Anytime I want to visit my family in Houston or go on a vacation, Andrei gives me the same old line: 'Sorry, but I can't risk being caught out in the sunlight.' Well, that sure didn't stop him back in 1895 when he came over here from Eastern Europe.' According to Sara, by last year she felt so cooped up that she took a job at a local Olive Garden 'just to get out of the house.' She woke each morning at 10 a.m. and came home at dusk, her clothes still smelling of garlic. It wasn't long before the two started sleeping in separate coffins. 'Every time I get to the part where Edward reveals himself to Bella in the sunlight, I start to cry,' Pastor said. 'Edward is so beautiful, his skin begins to sparkle in the sun. The closest Andrei ever comes to sparkling is when sweat beads up on his chunky thighs after he's climbed a flight of stairs.' Though sources confirm Andrei won't entertain the idea of a divorce, it's uncertain how long the marriage can last under these conditions. 'If Sara wants to live in her little fantasy world all the time, that's her choice,' Andrei Pastor, Vicomte of Bazargic, said when reached for comment. 'She might think life is just one big fairy tale, but it's not.' Added the vampire, 'I've been around 800 years, and I think I know a thing or two about the real world.' 
3	The Government of Mars Is Already Being Planned: A Glimpse at Martian LawBy James Holbrooks As far back as 2010 outlined in theU.S. National Space Policy and then given the budgetary green light by theNASA Authorization Act the United States has advanced the idea that Americans could be living on Mars by the 2030s. A major milestone toward this end would be streamlining the ability to land human beings on an asteroid, which the space agency hopes to accomplish by 2025. This is around the same time that Mars One, the Netherlands-based nonprofit research group whose stated goal is to establish a human colony on Mars by 2027, is slated to start rocketing the hardware needed to construct and maintain said colony in the Red Planets direction. A habitable settlement will await the first crew before they depart Earth, Mars One says in itsmission statement. The hardware needed will be sent to Mars in the years ahead of the humans. This unmanned mission is currently scheduled for 2024. Elon Musk, the multi-billionaire CEO of Tesla Motors and private aerospace manufacturer SpaceX and the man whosetimetable for putting humans on Mars beats even that of Mars One has long seen the colonization of the Red Planet as a means to save the species. I think there is a strong humanitarian argument for making life multi-planetary, Musktold Aeon magazine when asked why we should focus on Mars when there are so many problems facing people here on Earth, in order to safeguard the existence of humanity in the event that something catastrophic were to happen, in which case being poor or having a disease would be irrelevant, because humanity would be extinct. Even Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, whose private aerospace company Blue Origin is focused primarily on moving heavy industry from Earth to outer space,says we absolutely should and will colonize Mars, because its cool. But as more and more time, energy and capital are devoted to establishing a human presence on Mars, many are asking how the body governing such a colony will function. One research group in Seattle, the Blue Marble Space Institute of Science, has recently penned areport addressing that very question. The report, titled A Pragmatic Approach to Sovereignty on Mars and published in Space Policy, borrows from three already established treaties the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS), the Outer Space Treaty (OST), and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Using 1967s Outer Space Treaty as a foundation, the researchers targeted the potential problems that could arise as citizens from different countries begin to cohabitate on a new planet namely, how much power should a central governing structure possess, how to handle the inevitable disputes that will arise, and how resource rights should be allocated and protected. The governing body proposed by the Blue Marble Institute is called the Mars Secretariat. As the name implies, this body would be a weak central authority whose purview would primarily be administrative record maintenance, secretarial duties, and the like. Martian inhabitants themselves would wield significant local power. Legally, however, this power would be derived from inhabitants host nations, with conflicts to be resolved diplomatically or through a temporary tribunal system composed of representatives of other Mars colonies. As for resources, the report proposes for the early days of colonization, anyway that claims be limited to around 100 km parcels of land. Colonists within that zone would have all economic rights to the resources in that parcel, though they would have no authority to prevent others from landing, or even building habitats, within that border. The right of peaceful passage through exclusive economic zones ispatterned after UNCLOS, the report states, which also restricts the degree of control that a colony can exert over the zone in which it operates. The OST states that the exploration and use of outer space shall be carried out for the benefit and in the interests of all countries and shall be the province of all mankind. To this end, the report further proposes the establishment of planetary parks and a Mars tax. The parks would be preserved tracts of unclaimed land set aside for scientific and cultural use by all nations. The tax would be applied for the right to extract Mars resources, with the revenue being distributed to countries back home on Earth. But eventually assuming everything goes to plan the stage will be reached in the future whereby inhabitants of the Red Planet will begin thinking of themselves as Martians, as opposed to colonists from Earth. And at that point, how much of any cobbled-together governing structure can those folks be expected to live by? None, says political scientistMichael Byers from the University of British Columbia. In short, he wrote in a Januaryarticle for the Washington Post, a Mars colony would be entitled to independence if the majority of colonists made this desire clear through a referendum. Citing the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, whichestablished self-determination as a basic human right, Byers concluded that: Human rights are universal; they apply to every human being, on this planet and elsewhere.

3	Over 1 Million? Why We May Never Know How Many Civilians Have Died in Iraq WarBy Darius Shahtahmasebi As the U.S. presence in Iraq continues to increase thirteen years after the initial U.S.-U.K. led invasion, it is time to ask at least one hard question the Chilcot Inquiry failed to ask. How many civilians in Iraq have lost their lives because of the 2003 invasion? Unfortunately, this is something the Chilcot Inquiry refused to investigate. Section 17 of the Chilcot Inquiry Report stated: It is beyond the scope and abilities of this Inquiry to establish independently the number of fatalities caused by conflict in Iraq, or the broader human cost of the conflict to the Iraqi people. How the number of fatalities in Iraq is outside the scope of a report that contains a roughly 40-page section entitled Civilian Casualties is unclear, especially given that John Chilcot previously identified the scope of the Inquiry as broad. Unfortunately, the United Kingdom has shown no real interest in recording Iraqi casualties. The U.S. establishment also has a long history of refusing to perform body counts. As Gen. Tommy R. Franks stated in response to reports that U.S. bombs had killed 1,000 al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters in the Afghanistan campaign of 2001-2002, You know, we dont do body counts. This is not an accident. In May 2013, university researchers from the U.S., Canada, and Iraq put together a study using randomized surveys of 2,000 households. They found approximately 461,000 people had died in Iraq in the years of 2003-2011. Sixty percent of these deaths were directly attributable to violence, both by coalition forces and as a result of the sectarian violence the war produced. We think it is roughly around half a million people dead. And that is likely a low estimate, said public health expert Amy Hagopian, leader of the survey. The chaos created by the 2003 invasion has displacedover a million people, meaning acquiring the full statistics would be almost impossible. This is one of the reasons why experts deem the estimate of the survey to be conservative. Leslie Roberts of Columbia University, who has previously led wartime mortality surveys in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zimbabwe, and Iraq, said the study was serious and credible. However, a John Hopkins Universitys Bloomberg School of Public Health report estimated that by 2006, the number of Iraqis who had lost their lives had already risen to 650,000. The introduction of the report stated: When Johns Hopkins epidemiologists set out to study the war in Iraq, they did not anticipate that their findings would be so disturbing, or so controversial. In 2015, a report by Physicians for Social Responsibility estimated the death toll had already passed one million. This is a number regularly thrown around, as argued by former despot Muammar Gaddafi when he questioned the reasoning behind the invasion of Iraq and the death of one million Iraqis. So how many Iraqis have lost their lives because of the U.S.-U.K. invasion? We still dont know. Either way one looks at it, the conservative estimates alone suggest the death toll is immense. Americas most openly bloody and aggressive war prior to the Iraq war was, of course, the Vietnam invasion; some estimates put the death toll as high as three million. However, the fact remains that with Iraq, like Vietnam, we still dont know the exact number of people who lost their lives following the forcible invasion of a sovereign nation, paid for by our tax dollars. Combined with the deaths of over 500,000 Iraqi children that resulted from U.S. sanctions on the Iraqi regime following the first Gulf invasion of 1991, it should be clear to even the most racist, xenophobic war hawk that U.S.-U.K. policies towards Iraq have been brutally unjust. This is likely why the U.S.-U.K. establishment never wants this number to come to light and refuses to keep records. With perpetual urgings that former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair should face prosecution for his role in the war, the less truth that comes out, the more convenient it will be for his current lifestyle. The sadly hypocritical element of the debacle is that U.S. officials still refuse to acknowledge civilian casualties and deaths in Iraq caused by their own actionsyet they seem confident enough to accuse Bashar al-Assad of killing scores of civilians in Syria based on the information provided by one man who owns aclothes shop in England. Apparently, strategic resources such as oil, are worth inflicting such horror. In order to understand the true terror of the Iraq war, look no further than this account from an Iraqi civilian: If one bullet was shot towards them [US coalition forces] they would open fire at everyone, Iraqis were dying every dayOne day after the fall of Baghdad we discovered the truth that they did not come to save Iraq, they were destroying itWe knew they had an agenda, and that agenda was oil.

2	BREAKING: Obamas Kenyan Brother Comes Forward And Breaks His Silence Finally Obama made headlines when he appeared in Kenya last week, and discussed his heritage for the first time. Now, Obamas Kenyan family has come forward to tell reporters that they were less-than-thrilled to see him. Barack doesnt want anything to do with us, his brother, Malik, told the press. Hes not an honest man. Its a big humiliation. Sources say t hat the brothers were once very close. Malik was even the best man at Obamas wedding to Michelle. The relationship grew more distant when Obama refused to provide money for a funeral for one of his family members. Sources say the brothers have been distant ever since Malik wrote Obama a letter asking for $15,000. That was nearly 20 years ago. What do you think? Are you surprised that Obamas family members are separating themselves from him? 
2	Congress Takes A Stand Against Obama By Passing Bill To Repeal Obamacare, Vote Is 240Congress made a huge mistake six years ago by passing Obamacare. However, they are doing everything in their power to reverse that mistake. On Wednesday, Congress voted 240-181 to repeal Obamacare. It is currently being sent to Obamas desk. However, Obama will more than likely veto the bill, sending it back into Congress where it is unlikely to pass. Unfortunately, this turns into a vicious cycle, and in the end, Obama comes out on top. This bill is likely a roadmap created by the Republicans in Congress to outline our moves after the election, when we hopefully have a Republican in the White House. How Obama could be so attached to a system that has failed so terribly, we are unsure. Do you think Obamacare is harmful to America? 
3	Jim Tucker, Bilderberg Hound, Dies at 78Andrew Puhanic Jim Tucker was known as the Bilderberg Hound and was one of a few investigative journalists who infiltrated the notorious Bilderberg Group. Other families and organizations that Jim famously investigated were the Rockefeller Family, Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission. However, Jim will always be remembered as a brave and courageous journalist who took many risks in order to expose the Bilderberg Group and was solely responsible for waking up the world to the secretive enclaves of the Bilderberg Group. The following obituary was posted by Michael Collins Piper, a regular contributor to the American Free Press and good friend of Jim Tucker. From myself and the team at the Globalist Report, our thoughts and prayers go out to Jims family and friends. Our Good Friend Jim Tucker is Gone, But He May Get the Last Laugh on David Rockefeller By Michael Collins Piper Jim Tuckers only regret was probably the fact he didnt outlive his sworn nemesis of more than a quarter of a century, international banker David Rockefeller. The colorful former editor of AMERICAN FREE PRESSand still a continuing correspondent for this newspaperTucker died at a hospital in Virginia on April 26 at age 78 following complications arising from injuries received after falling down the steps in his home while in the company of his family. Prior to coming to work in Washington, D.C. in 1975 as managing editor of the newly-launched national weekly, The Spotlight, Tucker had been, by his own admission, a conventional journalist with a wide range of experience in the mainstream press, largely confident that the big media in America was doing its job, bringing readers the news they needed to know. He was sports editor of the The Northern Virginia Sun, managing editor of The Daily Tifton Gazette in Georgia, managing editor of The Radford (Va.) Daily News, copy editor of The Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch; night editor of The Washington Daily News in the nations capital, managing editor of The Martinsville (Va.) Bulletin, and news editor of The Akron (Ohio) Beacon Journal. However, the day that Willis Carto, treasurer of Liberty Lobby, the populist institution that published The Spotlight, called Tucker into his office and described to Tucker the little-known history of the Bilderberg meetings, Tuckers worldviewparticularly from his perspective as a journalistchanged forever. Despite all his years in the media, Tucker had never once heard of Bilderberg and he realizedas any real journalist shouldthat there was something wrong. As Tucker summarized itall quite correctlytime and again, over the years, If a hundred of the worlds best known sports figures or film stars were gathered at some exclusive resort behind closed doors for a private meeting, the entirety of the mass media would be on hand, clamoring for admittance and demanding to know what was going on. But when the worlds richest bankers, media barons, industrialists, members of royalty, and political leaders were meeting secretly and discussing public policy matters that impacted on the course of the worlds affairs, the establishment press never said a word. From 1975 to 1982, as editor of The Spotlight, Tucker supervised a wide-ranging array of journalists who trailed the Bilderberg and Trilateral gangs here and abroad. But in 1983, Tucker himself went on the road as The Spotlights man on the scene and scorched the Bilderbergers and Trilateralists with blistering real news coverage, from Japan to Portugal to France, England, Germanywherever and whenever the global intriguers met, even as the rest of the American media remained mum, despite the fact that, over and over again, over the next three decades, Tuckers pioneering investigations unveiled Bilderberg-Trilateral plans that had a direct influence on public policy affecting every man, woman and child on the face of the planet. After the demise of The Spotlight in 2001orchestrated by a clique of figures (including a corrupt federal judge) with known links to the Central Intelligence Agency and to Israels intelligence service, the MossadTucker picked up his work with the newly-launched AMERICAN FREE PRESS, for which he served for several years as managing editor, and continued pressing the Bilderberg and Trilateral vultures wherever they swooped down to nest and hatch their latest plots. Each and every year up until 2012Tucker was there. Hustling about, grooming sources (including members of the staffs of the hotels where Bilderberg met), lending his support to other journalists who came on the scene, and generally driving the Bilderberg elite up the walland, literally, into the wall: On one occasion Tucker discovered a secret listening device planted in the wall of the hotel room he was occupying in an inn located close to Bilderbergs gathering place at one of the exclusive resorts the shadowy intriguers regularly met. In recent yearsas more and more journalists worldwide became aware of the existence of the secretive Bilderberg meetings and started arriving on the scene themselves, looking for leads, Tucker became the man to see, when the grizzled veteran journalistan unabashed journalist of the old school, a two-fisted drinker and unapologetic three-packs-a-day smokershowed up to keep the hoity-toity suits at Bilderberg on their toes. Tucker maintained regular contact with a number of sympathetic sources both inside and close to the Bilderberg elite, and just days before his death, he had once again cracked Bilderberg secrecy and managed to uncover the location of Bilderbergs upcoming meeting in Englanddespite (as per usual) Bilderbergs efforts to misdirect Tucker from learning their real destination. Having slowed down considerably in recent months, Tucker had just decided not to attend this years gathering, passing his torch to AFP correspondent Mark Anderson, who had joined Tucker in covering a number of recent Bilderberg gatherings, but if anything is for certain it is this: the old Bilderberg Hound will be there in spirit and, given the opportunity, he might even slip David Rockefeller a mickey. Tucker is survived by two sons and literally millions of friends and admirers all over the world who appreciated Jims wry humor and the real journalism that he represented in every sense of the word. His literary legacy not only includes many thousands of articles published in The Spotlight and AMERICAN FREE PRESS, but also his classic memoir, Jim Tuckers Bilderberg Diary, and The Crimes of Yalta, first published in 1984 and just recently slated for republication. This obituary was originally published on American Free Press. linkwithin_text=Related Articles:

2	Missouri Cop Ambushed By BLM Thugs Now Paralyzed From Neck Down According to reports, a Missouri police officer is now paralyzed from the neck down after being shot during a routine traffic stop. Authorities in Ballwin revealed the discouraging diagnosis for Officer Michael Flamion, who was wounded when a bullet pierced his neck during a July 8 attack near St. Louis. Officials said the gunshot caused catastrophic damage to his spinal cord. The 31-year-old officer will not lose his badge, Ballwin Police Chief Kevin Scott announced in a statement. Although its evident he will not be able to serve in the same capacity, Scott acknowledged at a press conference on Monday. I will assure that Officer Flamion is engrained in the Ballwin police family and will forever be a Ballwin police officer, no questions asked. The attack took place just one day after five cops were killed in the Dallas sniper attack. Flamion remains in intensive care at a nearby hospital, where he depends on a ventilator. He is reportedly alert and able to recognize his friends and family members. Antonio Taylor, the 31-year-old suspect in the shooting, was captured hours after the traffic stop during a foot chase in the neighboring town of Manchester. He faces charges that include first-degree assault of a law enforcement officer. A GoFundMe account was opened to raise funds for Flamion and his family. It has already produced more than $244,000 in donations since its creation on July 9. Flamion will also qualify for financial assistance from the Catastrophic Injury Fund of the Backstoppers, a nonprofit that helps family members of slain first responders. Will you pray for Flamion and his family?

In a recent interview, Allen opened up about his past struggles with addiction, sharing a remarkable story of how his faith in God got him through the darkest days. I always do askwhoever put me here; The Builderwhat did You want me to do? Allen commented. I just want a relationship with Whoever built me. This is too much; too weird that it happened by accident. I dont believe that I happened by accident. Thankfully, Allen has been sober for more than a decade. He makes it a point to share the many virtues of God. I used to live an isolated existence, even in relationships, but now my family knows me for who I really am, he continued. Mostly, thats a good thing. Yesterday I was swimming with my 3-year-old, and I looked up and thought, How wonderful this world is. Were always searching for something, but its going to be all right. Stop fretting so much. Seeing the worst parts of my behavior helped me to understand the better parts, Allen continued. So while Im still more anxious than I want to be most of the time, Im far less anxious than I used to be. I was doing comedy clubs, concerts, movies and TV, and didnt ever realize how fatigued I was or how much I was missing in my life. Watch the full interview below and tell us what you think. Do you applaud Tim Allen for sharing his experience with the world? 
1	The price of a customized penis-shaped swimming pool was negotiated down Monday, when purchaser Rocky Morgan persuaded contractor Lou Visconti to agree to a $12,000 reduction in price. Morgan. Bottom left: Blueprints for his pool. 'Right off the bat, I told Rocky I can do it, but it ain't gonna be cheap,' said Visconti, owner of Mirage Pools. 'First, there's a fee for the original design. And a lot more man hours go into laying a custom pool than one of those quick-and-dirty ready-made jobbers.' Morgan, a former executive at Arista Records and now the owner of an adult-DVD distribution company, came up with the idea for the penis pool after seeing a guitar-shaped pool at a friend's house in Malibu, CA. 'If you know Rocky Morgan, you know what his number-one skill is,' said Morgan, 52, alluding to his sexual prowess. 'People are impressed with my mirror room and my velvet-covered bar, but I knew a pool like this would make my Tahoe vacation house something guests would never forget.' After pondering the pool idea for a few weeks, Morgan called several contractors for estimates. While a number of the contractors provided rough, non-binding estimates over the phone, only Visconti was willing to pay a personal visit to Morgan's home. 'There was no way of knowing how to fit that pool in there without getting down in the backyard and actually scoping out the site,' Visconti said. 'I wasn't about to tease Rocky with a cock pool I couldn't deliver just to get his business.' Morgan. Bottom left: Blueprints for his pool. Though impressed with Visconti's professionalism, Morgan said he was shocked by his initial $89,000 estimate. 'I was looking in a catalog, and most of the pools in there were in the $30,000 range,' Morgan said. 'I knew the one I wanted would be more, but 89 Gs? That's steep for any pool, whether it looks like a dick or not.' Visconti assured Morgan that spending the extra money for a quality penis pool would pay off in the long run. 'Sure, you can get someone else to do it for less, but they're gonna cut corners, do a shoddy job,' Visconti told him. 'In two, three years, you're going to have cracks up and down the shaft, the scrotal area is going to cave in, and then you'll need me to come fix it. And believe me, you're gonna pay a lot more down the line than if you spend the money up front.' According to Visconti, many factors contribute to the final cost of a pool. Among them are the quality of materials, the type of wiring for the filtration system, and the amount of decorative detailwhich Morgan decided to keep to a minimum, leaving the veins and ridges to swimmers' imagination. 'This is Nevada, and the penis is going to be out in the sun all year round,' Visconti said. 'If you don't do it right, the paint is going to be peeling like nobody's business, especially on that highly detailed area down by the glans. Something like that in your backyard is gonna make property values plummet.' Visconti is more than qualified to advise Morgan on penis-pool designs. He has 15 years experience in the custom-pool business and has been called 'the best in Nevada,' having built pools shaped like pianos, palm trees, and slot machines. In spite of his conviction that one must pay for quality, Visconti ultimately agreed to shave $12,000 off the cost of the pool. 'I could have said 'no can do' and walked away,' Visconti said. 'But then he wouldn't have his penis by Labor Day, and I would've lost a chance to satisfy a valued customer.' Visconti lowered the estimate by agreeing to absorb 15 percent of labor costs (approximately $6,500) and scaling down the pool's dimensions. The pool, originally slated for 80 meters, will be 50 meters in length, ranging in depth from three feet in the shallow play area at the base of the cock to 12 feet at the head, where a diving board will be positioned. Hand rails and steps will be built in the scrotal area, as well as midway down the shaft. A triangular deck will be added at the base, and bushes will be planted to create the effect of pubic hair. While Morgan initially wanted to have a pair of hot tubs for the pool's testicles, the idea proved too costly. And though he wanted the pool to have a 17-meter-wide shaft, Visconti ultimately convinced him to build it a more lifelike 10 meters. 'So long as you build the cock a reasonable thickness, you're going to have a real nice lap pool on your hands,' Visconti said. 'Form follows function. That's what I always tell people.' Visconti said Morgan let him see a faxed proposal from his competitor at Swan Lake Pools. 'You should have seen this thing,' Visconti said. 'They had the whole thing running east-west, with a deck along the length. It would have looked like a brace, for Christ's sake. Then, they were going to paint the bottom blue. Come on. I can see white, black, maybe even pink. But blue? Who's ever seen a blue dong? It's ridiculous.' Visconti said Morgan made the right choice to go with Mirage Pools. 'Some of these outfits just pour concrete,' Visconti said. 'At Mirage, we use steel reinforcing rods to make a nice, sturdy, stiff base and shot crete, which has rock sand for extra strength. That'll keep your pool in top shape for a long time, hard as a rock when you're 80.'

Let her tell you in this little-known TEDx talk shes been through it all. Lets just say she has a reason to be passionate about farming. She remembers how a small percentage of local food provided Maines necessities even Bostons. She says: As of 2008, Chellie is serving Maine in the U.S. Congress. Previously, she served multiple terms in the Maine Senate. On her website, she writes: TEDx description: No one will agree with a politicians stance or financial backers 100% not at all but maybe it would be a good idea to remember Chellie the next time an agricultural and food issue is on the floor?

2	Video Shows Muslims Drinking Camel Urine Causing Rise In MERS Disease According to new reports from an international delegation of scientists and public health experts from the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Organization for Animal Health, a new investigation into a rise of MERS cases in Saudi Arabia is underway. The respiratory syndrome is focused in the Middle East, and is a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus of the genus Betacoronavirus. Infections of the virus have soared, and have caused several deaths in Saudi Arabia already, as well as many more hospitalizations. The origin of MERS is a shocking one, stemming from the practice of drinking camel urine for religious purposes. In the Hadith, the Prophet Mohammad orders his followers to drink camel urine for medicine. This act is still practiced by some, causing the Saudi Health Ministry to issue a warning against camel contact. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	A year after the tragic explosion and oil spill that caused petroleum giant BP to cease operations in the Gulf of Mexico, the company announced Wednesday that it was once again ready to begin oil spilling. 'People said this company might never rebound from last year, but we're here and ready to do what we do best,' said BP chief executive Robert Dudley, who confirmed that the company had already successfully conducted small test spills and that full-scale spilling operations could resume as early as July. 'We've reorganized and regrouped, and now we're ready to put the faulty blowout preventers on the wellheads and watch them pump raw crude petroleum right into the environment.' BP stock jumped $14 a share following the announcement.

1	Leading representatives of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation announced Wednesday that the month of October would officially be known as WNBA Awareness Month, and commemorated the occasion by donating $80 million of their funds to promote the early detection and ultimate eradication of the all-female basketball league. Ambassador Nancy G. Brinker of the Komen Foundation was accompanied at the press conference by WNBA survivor Rebecca Lobo, long-suffering WNBA president Donna Orender, and Los Angeles Sparks center Lisa Leslie, who has been battling the league for 11 years. Brinker noted that the WNBA has always been a primary concern for the breast cancer community, and said she is committed to using the full force of her breast cancer organization to rid the nation of the dreadful professional league at its every stagefrom its earliest possible appearance in training camp, to preseason and the playoffs, and even during its more-invasive Finals stage when the league is at its most aggressive. 'What we plan to do this October is start a national dialogue about the WNBA,' said Brinker, wearing the orange ribbon she introduced that morning to signify the fight against the league. 'What is the WNBA? Who is primarily affected? Is somebody you love, be it your daughter or your wife, causing you to suffer through it? Why, despite going into annual remission, does it reoccur every year, seemingly without warning? How can we be more vigilant and nip this thing in the bud before the season even starts?' 'The sooner we address these questions, the sooner we can fulfill our vision of a WNBA-free world,' she added. According to a report compiled by the nation's top breast cancer awareness organizations, the most frightening aspect of the WNBA is how many people, especially its players, are unfamiliar with the warning signs of the league. Because of this ignorance, the report states, the WNBA can be difficult to detect early, often appearing no more malignant than a woman's college basketball game. However, upon closer examination, significant abnormalities become apparent: cells of fans clumped together in an otherwise empty arena causing a discharge of uninspired cheers; the league's orange-and-white ball appearing discolored (which, experts say, often leads to humiliation amongst those who play with it); and fatiguing spells of missed shots and boring layups that only metastasize as the season goes further along. 'The main thing that people need to know is that even though the WNBA moves slowly and methodically, it will continue to spread if it's ignored,' said Samantha Gallagher, president of the Northeastern Breast Cancer Coalition. 'Before you know it, a full-blown professional women's basketball team will have developed in Toronto, and at that point the odds of fighting it are slim to none.' Gallagher added that statistics indicate the WNBA is the second leading killer of interest in professional sports in the United States behind Major League Soccer. In 2007 alone, she said, 320,000 people finally succumbed to the WNBA. 'The fact that I am standing here today is a miracle,' former New York Liberty forward Rebecca Lobo told reporters. 'When I first noticed the small crowds, the poor television ratings, and the overall lack of support, I thought it was all my fault, which I now know was ridiculous. But even though the league ravaged my entire mind and body, I never curled up in a ball and asked myself, 'Why me?' I just kept on playing.' 'Now I hope that, by spreading awareness, I can warn little girls everywhere about how harmful the WNBA can be,' Lobo added. 'Hopefully nobody will ever again have to suffer the way I did.' 
1	In an effort to crack down on the systematic killing of entire races and ethnic groups, International Criminal Court officials introduced a new 'three strikes' policy Monday that mandates harsher punishments for offenders receiving their third genocide conviction. 'You get three chances, and that's it,' said ICC president Sang-Hyun Song, a judge with a reputation for being tough on genocide. 'It doesn't matter if you're slaughtering rival clans en masse, gassing your own people, or gunning down all males over the age of 15 in front of their families and neighbors. If it's your third time, we're throwing the book at you.' According to the ICC, three-time perpetrators of genocide will face stiff fines and have to issue formal public apologies, pending appeals. 
1	It may be the quintessential question of our time: How the Hell are any of us supposed to work successfully without the tools to do our job? It's a question that rings true for our information-finders in Iraq, for our homeland security officials right here in the Motherland, and for yours truly dutifully reporting on America's Political Conventions. I regret to tell you that my editors failed failed to inform me that Barracks Obama was giving his big 'I Accept' speech at Investorco Field last Thursday night (or if they did tell me, as they now claim, they then failed to call and remind me Thursday afternoon while I was tasting the luscious fruits of the CNN Fancy Grill). The shame of this is that the real victims here are you, the readers. I wish I had a 'magic bullet' that could prevent these kind of things from happeningbut let's not be too hard on my editors. They are under a lot of pressure with budget shortfalls and all sorts of various news stories that seem to break at a moment's notice. They are trying their best, I believe, and we should use an extra dollop of patience and learn to forgive them. I can't hold a grudge forever. This is very similar to the Lessons of Hurricane Katrina: It's best not to point fingers or even expect apologies. When the damage is done, it is time to move on. That's how I see it. So I missed Mr. Barracks closing speech Thursday night. Let me tell you, Political Speeches are a dime a dozen in this game, and I guarantee by Friday morning the majority of Americans had already moved onon to their next TV shows and sporting contests that occupy our daysand the speech of Mr. Barracks was lost to the sands of time. I forgive my editors and hope you will too. Now let's not look back but forward. On to St. Paul and the next chapter in the great American saga of Politics. See Kelly's Editorial Cartoons Here 
3	Mainstream Media A No Fly Zone For TruthBrandon Turbeville And why would it let up? Such is the nature of war propaganda. Its purpose is to goad a gullible public, made up of individuals who would, in ordinary circumstances, not desire war and, in virtually all circumstances, have nothing to gain from it, into supporting an unfounded, immoral, and costly military operation against a people who are very similar to themselves. It is precisely because of this fact that the propaganda must be incessant and continual. With every report drumming up support for US military intervention in Syria and coloring every report of events taking place inside or surrounding the country, there is no article in any mainstream media outlet that does not make a series of unfounded claims and reinforce the propaganda narratives provided by the State Department. Such is the case with an article posted by VOX on October 9, entitled Buffer Zones: the New International Plan For A Mini-Invasion Of Syria, Explained. Although certainly not the only example of Western pro-war propaganda, it is certainly a perfect one to demonstrate how far the American people are being led astray by their supposed fourth estate. In its report, which is centered around the idea of buffer zones, a topic which a number of writers in the alternative media have been discussing since the very beginning of the crisis, Max Fisher writes, Fischer continues his description of the plan for a buffer zone by writing, Bullshit. There has never been any evidence that Bashar al-Assads forces have ever intentionally targeted civilians. In fact, there never would have been a civilian crisis to begin with had the United States, NATO, and the GCC not funded death squads, terrorists, and mercenaries to create such a crisis in the service of attempting to overthrow Assads government. The buffer zone will not turn into a haven for displaced Syrians. It will be turned into a haven for death squads and terrorists funded, armed, controlled, and directed by the United States, NATO, and the GCC. Indeed, a buffer zone, in Northern Syria, has been a wish of NATO since the beginning of the Syrian crisis. With the establishment of this buffer zone, a new staging ground will be opened that allows terrorists such as ISIS and others the ability to conduct attacks even deeper inside Syria. Working together with its NATO/GCC allies as well as the ever-present provocateur Israel, the United States is helping to create a buffer zone in the North and East of Syria while continuing to facilitate the opening of a third front on the Syrian border with Israel. Such a strategy was discussed in 2012 by the Brookings Institution in its publication Assessing Options For Regime Change, where it stated In addition, Israels intelligence services have a strong knowledge of Syria, as well as assets within the Syrian regime that could be used to subvert the regimes power base and press for Asads removal. Israel could posture forces on or near the Golan Heights and, in so doing, might divert regime forces from suppressing the opposition. This posture may conjure fears in the Asad regime of a multi-front war, particularly if Turkey is willing to do the same on its border and if the Syrian opposition is being fed a steady diet of arms and training. Such a mobilization could perhaps persuade Syrias military leadership to oust Asad in order to preserve itself. Advocates argue this additional pressure could tip the balance against Asad inside Syria, if other forces were aligned properly. It is important to remember that the U.S. airstrikes and its attempts to create a buffer zone inside 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. Nevertheless, Fischer continues his propaganda spiel by stating that the idea of a buffer zone was an idea that got heavy discussion in 2012, when it was raised by a number of foreign policy thinkers, including former State Department Director of Policy Planning Anne-Marie Slaughter, as a way to ease the killing in Syria. Again, Fischers statement is grotesquely false. Slaughters raising the idea of a buffer zone in Syria had nothing to do with a desire to ease the killing in Syria but a desire to increase it. Even more dangerous to the rest of the world, Slaughters idea was based on the desire to attack Russia using an attack on Syria as a proxy. Slaughters op-eds, of course, betray an underlying reason for her obsessive warmongering against Syria the strategic desire to weaken Russia. In this, Slaughter reveals herself as an adherent to the Brzezinski doctrine as it is espoused in The Grand Chessboard.[1] Even if Slaughter does not openly state her affinity for such a destructive and provocative foreign policy by name, her ideology is revealed by both her actions and her work. Indeed, in her April, 2014 op-ed for Project Syndicate, entitled Stopping Russia Starts In Syria, Slaughter is nothing if not obvious about her offensive geopolitical targeting of the Russian Federation as well as that of China and Japan. She writes that Slaughter essentially argues that Putin is much too strong to inflict damaging geopolitical costs in Ukraine. She suggests that Putin is much weaker in Syria, however, and, therefore, it is Syria where the United States must strike. Slaughter states, That is a problem. In the case of Syria, the US, the worlds largest and most flexible military power, has chosen to negotiate with its hands tied behind its back for more than three years. This is no less of a mistake in the case of Russia, with a leader like Putin who measures himself and his fellow leaders in terms of crude machismo. It is time to change Putins calculations, and Syria is the place to do it. After repeating the tired, disproven, and borderline idiotic propaganda of Assads alleged chemical weapons attacks, killing his own people, and barrel bombs, Slaughter attempts to cover up what is nothing more than a geopolitical strategy as a humanitarian issue. Slaughter laments the fact that It is impossible to strike Syria legally so long as Russia sits on the United Nations Security Council, given its ability to veto any resolution authorizing the use of force. However, she continues her article by stating that the United States should act anyway, unilaterally or multilaterally, by striking Syria and, at the very least, destroying its fixed wing aircraft. The US, together with as many countries as will cooperate, could use force to eliminate Syrias fixed-wing aircraft as a first step toward enforcing Resolution 2139. Aerial bombardment would still likely continue via helicopter, but such a strike would announce immediately that the game has changed. After the strike, the US, France, and Britain should ask for the Security Councils approval of the action taken, as they did after NATOs intervention in Kosovo in 1999, she states. Slaughter continued by writing, Slaughter, of course, was angry that the incessant and nonsensical propaganda of her former office, the US State Department, and other Western governments across the world largely failed to manufacture a string of lies that would serve to effectively motivate Americans to gear up for war yet again. By no stretch of the imagination is Fischer and VOXs blatant propaganda piece an isolated or especially significant presentation. The article is, however, representative of the incessant propaganda fed to Americans day in and day out. It is an example of just how far astray the general public in the United States has been led. It is also an example of just how discredited mainstream media and Western media outlets actually are. Notes: [1] Brzezinski, Zbigniew.

2	CIA Official Goes Rogue, And Reveals The Chilling Truth About Hillary... America Needs To Hear This Last week, the FBI announced it was reopening their investigation of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clintons private email server. Shockingly, many of her supporters are still seeking to downplay the issue. Former CIA operative Charles Faddis just authored an op-ed for The Hill in hopes that he can help Americans see the light. According to Faddis, Clintons email scandal is a big deal and one for which she should be held accountable. I have worked in national security my entire life. Most of that has been in the intelligence community surrounded by classified information, Faddis wrote. For 20 years, I worked undercover in the Central Intelligence Agency, recruiting sources, producing intelligence and running operations. I have a pretty concrete understanding of how classified information is handled and how government communications systems work. Nobody uses a private email server for official business, Faddis added. Period. Full stop. He then went on to call Clintons decision to use a personal server to conduct official government business both insane and mind-boggling. Classified and unclassified information do not mix, he wrote. They dont travel in the same streams through the same pipes. They move in clearly well-defined channels so that never the twain shall meet. Mixing them together is unheard of and major criminal offense. If you end up with classified information in an unclassified channel, you have done something very wrong and very serious. Faddis then outlined just how dangerous Clintons actions were to Americans both at home and abroad. Every hostile intelligence agency on the planet targets senior American officials for collection, he argued. The secretary of state tops the list. Almost anything the secretary of state had to say about her official duties, her schedule, her mood, her plans for the weekend, would be prized information to adversaries. It is very difficult, in fact, to think of much of anything that the secretary of state could be saying in an email that we would want hostile forces to know, he added. Faddis concluded with a very succinct summary of Clintons actions, and why she should be held accountable for them. While serving in one of the most senior positions in the United States Government, Hillary Clinton was at a minimum, grossly negligent in the handling of classified information and when confronted with this practice, acted immediately to destroy information and prevent a full, fair and complete investigation of any damage to national security, he concluded.Anyone else who did such things in the government would long ago have been tried, convicted and sent to jail. What do you think? Should Hillary be disqualified from being President of the United States? She is a criminal, through and through. 
1	The 10:30 a.m. tour of the Ohio Statehouse quickly devolved into a one-on-one conversation between the groups guide and one of the visitors Friday, sources reported, after the talkative tour member correctly responded to the question of who assassinated U.S. president William McKinley. The first couple minutes of the tour were fine, but once we got to the McKinley memorial and our guide asked who shot President McKinley and where, that guy just jumped in with the answers and the two of them were off, said fellow capitol visitor Tim Wolkoff, who added that the dynamic of the 12-person tour immediately shifted as the McKinley guy and the guide continued chatting with each other while they walked ahead of the rest of the group through the rotunda and General Assembly chamber. Every time she made one of her prepared statements about the age of the building or named some famous politician who had worked there, the guy would always ask some super-specific follow-up questions. After he mentioned that he majored in U.S. history and had recently visited the Harriet Beecher Stowe House, they really got into it. By the end, she was pretty much just giving the tour directly to him. Following the tours conclusion, Wolkoff decided not to go up and thank the guide, as she and the talkative visitor were still locked in a passionate exchange about someone or something named Salmon Chase. 
1	The biggest name in sports in 2010 was basketball phenomenon LeBron James, who proved what an amazing friend he is this summer by leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers to join his best buddies and fellow All-Stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in South Beach. And, while the sports world may be obsessed with how many championships the high-powered Heat can win, it is abundantly clear that, no matter what happens, 25-year-old LeBron James is already an all-time NBA Champion of Friendship. After all, LeBron James knows that having good friends and keeping close tiesbeing a Most Valuable Pal, if you willis the most important thing of all. Which is why, out of every franchise in the NBA, he chose the one team that would give him the best chance of winning a lifetime of memories: the Miami Heat. Even though his new team is packed with superstar-level talent, is managed by five-time NBA champion Pat Riley, has every ingredient needed to win on an unprecedented scale for the next decade, and is located in a glamorous market with no income tax, that all comes second for LeBron James, who already has the greatest prize of all: amigos. Super amigos. Better amigos, even, than those he had in Cleveland, the city he once promised and then failed to deliver a championship to. Whether this Miami Heat team wins big or buckles under the weight of enormous expectationsjust as LeBron James has every year of his career thus farit will hardly matter to the NBA's all-time leader in hugs and being-a-super-awesome-bud. Because for LeBron James, it isn't about the rings. It's about slam-dunking a great hang-out session and boxing out the bad times with the two greatest friends and Olympic-level talents that an elite, once-in-a-generation athlete desperately in need of postseason validation could ask for. So let's hear it for LeBron Jamesand let's hear it for friendship! 
3	Blatant Corruption Exposed as EU Blocks Frances Ban on Monsantos GMO MaizeAnthony Gucciardi This should come as no surprise when considering the fact that the United States ambassador to France, a business partner to George W. Bush, stated back in 2007 that nations who did not accept Monsantos GMO crops will be penalized. In fact, ambassador Craig Stapleton went as far as to say that the nations should be threatened with military-style trade wars. Thats right, it appears the reason for the unprecedented move to maintain Monsantos deeply-rooted foothold in France has to do with the fact that the United States and other nations are continually pushing Monsantos agenda even going as far as to threaten military-style trade wars to those who oppose the company. As I reported back in January, WikiLeaks cables surfaced revealing some startling information concerning Monsantos deep involvement with back-end politics. One of the most telling details involves a statement made by Craig Stapleton, in which he said: Country team Paris recommends that we calibrate a target retaliation list that causes some pain across the EU since this is a collective responsibility, but that also focuses in part on the worst culprits. The list should be measured rather than vicious and must be sustainable over the long term, since we should not expect an early victory. Moving to retaliation will make clear that the current path has real costs to EU interests and could help strengthen European pro-biotech voices. And that is not even the most shocking part. WikiLeaks cables go on to state that United States diplomats actually work directly for Monsanto, furthering the agenda of the company across the globe. Is it any wonder that France is being assaulted by the EU over its decision to secure the health of its citizens? Consumers are waking up to Monsantos agenda and the dangers associated with their modified creations. Over 45,000 comments were submitted on the USDA website in opposition to Monsantos new genetically modified strain, and only 23 in favor. The corruption of Monsanto is now out in the open, and only serves to show how deeply rooted the company is within the United States government. Is it any coincidence that a major head of the FDA was a leading employee of Monsanto?

1	Universal Studios joined DreamWorks SKG, Sony Pictures, Warner Bros., Paramount, and Fox Monday, when CEO Ron Meyer announced that the company is shutting down operations and ceasing all film production, effective immediately. Demolition begins on a Hollywood landmark. 'In their hearts, every studio chair would like to be a patron of the arts,' said a candid and reflective Meyer, speaking from his New York office on the 69th floor of Manhattan's Rockefeller Plaza. 'But this is a business, not an artists' charity ward.' According to Hollywood insiders, summer 2005 dealt the death blow to an already ailing industry. With box-office receipts 9 percent lower than those of 2004, the few successes, such as The 40-Year-Old Virgin and War Of The Worlds, could not carry the industry. Regarding the decision to liquidate Paramount, Viacom CEO Sumner Redstone said, 'It was a simple choice: cling to an outdated business model or cut the pictures loose.' To better protect their stockholders' interests, Hollywood will be shifting its focus to safer, more reliable profit models, including real estate, life insurance, and the sale of hygiene products. Said Meyer: 'The mortuary industry also seems like a good bet. No matter what happens in the economy, there's always a market for funeral homes. People are always dying. That doesn't go unpredictably out of fashion with the public's taste, like, say, historical costume epics or Russell Crowe.' Monday, construction crews quietly dismantled the storied Hollywood Walk of Fame. 'This is a real shame,' said foreman Kevin McKnight, directing members of his crew to pry the brass stars from Hollywood Boulevard and transfer them to a nearby freight crate destined for a Japanese smelting plant. 'I love movies. My whole family does. All my life, I loved movies.' With each studio's decision to cease operations, dozens of films in various stages of production will quietly die, some going to DVD, others disappearing entirely, amounting to little more than tax write-offs. Assets are being sold for pennies on the dollar, and hastily liquidated prop houses and set rooms have flooded an already deluged eBay resale market. An original Indiana Jones flight jacket was sold Tuesday for $1.49 plus shipping. Figures from the California Labor Department reflect the industry's sudden collapse. As of Tuesday, some 700 directors, 15,000 producers, 2,900 entertainment lawyers, 14,000 writers, and 72,000 actorsnot to mention countless gaffers, tour guides, production designers, publicists, souvenir sellers, and personal assistantswere reportedly out of work. Mel Gibson begs for work on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. 'I feel a little betrayed,' said Stealth director Rob Cohen. 'After the summer season ended, I had hoped that people would start coming back to theaters, or maybe the industry would cook up some new concepts.' Cohen added: 'Now it looks like I'll have to go back to directing TV ads.' 'I don't know how my family will get by without a steady source of income,' said 43-year-old Los Angeles resident Kirk Ferguson, a third-generation set carpenter. 'Making facades that get blown up is all I know.' The absence of films is creating a ripple effect far beyond Southern California. Movie ushering has become an obsolete trade overnight, as first-run theaters shut down, convert to loft apartment space, and force hundreds of thousands of adolescents into the already crowded lawn-mowing and car-washing professions. 'A lot of movie history was made on the Warner Bros. lot, but not a lot of money,' Warner Bros. CEO Barry Meyer said. 'We've been sitting on valuable land at the height of a booming real-estate market. We could have sold it off months ago instead of making Must Love Dogs. We acted irresponsibly, and for this I apologize to our stockholders.' With little hope of getting a job in Hollywood, ex-film-industry employees are understandably reacting with anger and despair. Some, however, are more philosophical. 'I can always go back to Wisconsin and tend bar,' actor Mark Ruffalo said. 'Maybe do some community theater. The folks you should really feel sorry for are Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise. They're fucking nuts. I have no idea what they'll do without Hollywood.' The void is not likely to remain for long, with heavy hitters such as Bollywood producer Aamir Khan ready to swoop in. 'We are very excited to be entering the American entertainment market,' Khan said. 'Our first release, timed to coincide with the American holiday entertainment rush, is a remake of Mahabharata, a five-hour retelling of the ancient Hindu epic, filled with thrilling synchronized dance numbers and much romance.' 
3	Russia Is On The Verge Of Dealing A Massive Blow To The PetrodollarMichael Snyder As I will explain below, this has been a massive advantage for the U.S. economy. In recent years, there have been rumblings by nations such as Russia and China about the need to change to a new system, but nobody has really had a big reason to upset the status quo. However, that has now changed. The struggle over Ukraine has caused Russia to completely reevaluate the financial relationship that it has with the United States. If it starts trading a lot of oil and natural gas for currencies other than the U.S. dollar, that will be a massive blow for the petrodollar, and it could end up dramatically changing the global economic landscape. The fact that the Russian government has held a meeting to discuss getting rid of the US dollar in Russian export operations should be front page news on every mainstream news website in the United States. That is how big this is. But instead, we have heard nothing from the big mainstream news networks about this so far. Instead, we have only heard about this from Russian news sources such asthe Voice of Russia After all, this wouldnt just be a slap in the face. This would essentially be like slamming an economic fist into our nose. You see, Russia is not just a small player when it comes to trading oil and natural gas. The truth is that Russia is the largest exporter of natural gas and the second largest exporter of oil in the world. If Russia starts asking for payment in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, that will essentially end the monopoly of the petrodollar. In order to do this, Russia will need trading partners willing to go along. In the article quoted above, the Voice of Russia listedIran and China as two nations that would potentially be willing to make the switch And the reality of the matter is that China has seemed ready to move away from the U.S. dollar for quite some time. In a previous article, I included a quote from a French news source that discussed how Chinas official news agency has even called for a new international reserve currency to replace the dominant US dollar For much more on what China is thinking, please see my previous article entitled 9 Signs That China Is Making A Move Against The U.S. Dollar. So why is the petrodollar so important? Well, it creates a tremendous amount of demand for the U.S. dollar all over the globe. Since everyone has needed it to trade with one another, that has created an endless global appetite for the currency. That has kept the value of the dollar artificially high, and it has enabled us to import trillions of dollars of super cheap products from other countries. If other nations stopped using the dollar to trade with one another, the value of the dollar would plummet dramatically and we would have to pay much, much more for the trinkets that we buy at the dollar store and Wal-Mart. In addition, since the U.S. dollar is essentially the de facto global currency, this has also increased demand for our debt. Major exporting nations such as China and Saudi Arabia end up with giant piles of our dollars. Instead of just letting them sit there and do nothing, those nations often reinvest their dollars into securities that can rapidly be changed back into dollars if needed. One of the most popular ways to do this has been to invest those dollars in U.S. Treasuries. This has driven down interest rates on U.S. debt over the years and has enabled the U.S. government to borrow trillions upon trillions of dollars for next to nothing. But if the rest of the world starts moving away from the U.S. dollar, all of this could change. So if Russia really does pull the trigger on a de-dollarization strategy, that would be huge especially if the rest of the planet started following their lead. The U.S. economy is already teetering on the brink of another major downturn, and there are a whole host of indications that big trouble is on the horizon. For much more on this, please see the article that I posted on Monday entitled If Economic Cycle Theorists Are Correct, 2015 To 2020 Will Be Pure Hell For The United States. Just about the last thing that we need right now is for our petrodollar monopoly to be threatened. It would be nice if things would calm down in Ukraine and the relationship between the United States and Russia could go back to normal. Sadly, that does not appear likely any time soon. In fact, the Ukrainian government has already admitted that we are essentially at war, and on Tuesday six Ukrainian soldiers were killed and eight were wounded in a convoy attack in eastern Ukraine. The regions in eastern Ukraine that have just declared independence have given the government in Kiev until Wednesday to pull their forces out of eastern Ukraine or else face war. If a full blown civil war does erupt in Ukraine, it is going to take this crisis to a completely new level. Unfortunately, most Americans are incredibly apathetic at this point and know very little about what is going on. But in the end, this could have dramatic implications for all of us.

3	Obama Quietly Passed a Law Making Insider Trading Easier for US PoliticiansPatrick Henningsen Remember the good old days, when the good men and women of America got into politics to help serve their country, and not for the money? Imagine if you were able to pass a law that would regulate your own behavior and ultimately define the consequences of that behavior. Thats what all politicians in Washington DC do on a regular basis. When it comes to regulating their investments whilst in office, they are able to pass laws that allow them to use special foreknowledge (that only lawmakers and government regulators have) for personal gain. Its all about finding that golden loophole. Once upon a time it was called insider trading hardly a crime on Wall Street anymore (props to Goldman Sachs), and neither in Washington DC, or so it seems, according to the President and his legislative branch. Now we know how hard it is to be a politician these days. Many of you genuinely feel that there should be some additional value-added perks to your job as a public servant. After all, our elected officials deserve some extra compensation for shunning the public sector and offering their incredible talents for the public good, right? While tragic events in Boston are dominating the national media this week, US President Barack Obama quietly signed a bill, and one which passed rather swiftly through Congress we might add its a bill that prevents key financial disclosure forms filed by senior governmental employees from being posted online. In a rare display of cross-party cooperation, both sides of the aisle seemed happy to approve (surprise, surprise) by unanimous consent. This is how the criminals usually work quietly and in secret: the bill passed both House and Senate chambers on a voice vote (where lawmakers names are not recorded). Both chambers cleared the legislation in near record time by Washington DC standards taking only ten seconds in the Senate and 14 seconds in the House to pass. According to the report below, The bill represents a major blow to government transparency. It certainly does and then some, but more than anything it just makes it a lot easier to get richer from a career in politics. This is really the sort of law you would expect to be passed in a corrupt banana republic, with a fascist dictator presiding over a government full of self-interested industrialists. So is this the new America? Obama signing a bill like this with the hyper-sonic, complete backing of both chambers of government spells out everything that is wrong with American government today and why so few people trust anyone who calls themselves a politician or government staffer. Its also a prime example as to why so many Americans have all but given up on the political process, almost forced to submit to its systemic corruption. This is one of the ways in which our long-serving Congressmen/women, Senators, esteemed residents and staff in the White House are able the amass such huge fortunes during their glorious political careers- by simply gaming the system. One set of rules for the people, and another set of rules for our leaders. It does not appear that they can actually be trusted to make decisions that govern political life. STOCK Act: President Obama Signs Bill That Would Kill Government Transparency Database Washington DC politicians can breathe easier now that Obama has better enabled insider trading for them. The bill passed both the House of Representative and the Senate on a voice vote. In a voice vote, now members of Congresss votes are not recorded. The Senate and House both cleared the legislation by unanimous consent, taking only ten seconds in the Senate and 14 seconds in the House of consideration to pass. The bill represents a major blow to government transparency, according to government watchdog groups. The bill modifies the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act, a law passed to combat insider trading. The bill effectively repeals a provision that requires financial disclosure forms to posted online into a searchable database in order to be easily assessed. Proponents of repealing the measure argued that it would increase the risk of identify theft and other crimes against disclosures as well as security concerns for the government. But such disclosure forms are technically already available to the public. Without the provision, the forms must be requested individually from government agencies. The Center for Responsive Politics and the Sunlight Foundation, two pro-government transparency organizations harshly criticized the bill. Lisa Rosenberg of the Sunlight Foundation said of the move, The result: More corruption and less trust in government. Dan Auble of the Center for Responsive Politics said of the bill, Without the provisions, the STOCK act is made toothless. Insider trading by members of Congress and federal employees is still prohibited, but the ability of watchdog groups to verify that Congress is following its own rules is severely limited because these records could still be filed on paper an unacceptably outdated practice that limits the publics access. This is not true disclosure. The bill does not completely gut the STOCK Act. Federal workers would still be required to report securities trades over a $1,000 threshold within 45 days and make them available to the public. The president, vice president, members of Congress, candidates for Congress, Cabinet members, and deputy secretaries are still required to post financial transactions online. However the searchable database was killed along with the requirements that federal employees post transactions. However the searchable database was considered by some to be the most effective part of the act. Melanie Sloan of Citizens for Responsibility Ethics in Washington said that, by getting rid of the online disclosure they get rid of the only effective part. Its almost a useless act. Rather than reforming the act to address privacy concerns, Congress just decided to get rid of those requirements entirely. The approach is known as security through obscurity,the idea being that by making the system difficult, people who want to engage in malicious acts will be discouraged from accessing the information. The drawbacks of such a system are immediately obvious, as a criminal simply needs to be dedicated enough to go through the system in order to gain the information they desire. The STOCK Act has already been criticized for being incomplete. In 2012, a loophole in the STOCK Act was discovered that could have allowed family members of lawmakers to still profit from inside information, which was promptly corrected. No word if they will fix other efforts at weakening the act soon. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	BURLINGTON, VTUniversity of Vermont junior Becca Davis failed to do anything for the people of Tibet during her summer vacation, disgruntled fellow activists reported Tuesday. Davis relaxes at a coffee shop while Tibetans suffer under the rule of the Chinese. 'With class out for the summer, Becca had a valuable window during which she could have pressured the Chinese government to end its tyrannical reign over the Tibetan people,' campus activist Sally Coe said. 'Instead, she sunbathed in the park and worked part-time at a local bookstore. As a result, the Tibetan freedom cause has been set back months.' Conquered by the People's Republic Of China in 1949, Tibet has suffered decades of political and religious oppression, and its leader, the Dalai Lama, has been exiled for 45 years. Tibetans who oppose the Chinese occupation have implored the world to intervene, but Davis has evidently decided to ignore their pleas. Although Davis is a member of the Campus Outreach Network for Tibetan Autonomy, as well as the Campus Anti-War Initiative Coalition and the Campus Crusade Against Rape, her political awareness seems to have dissipated during the summer. According to sources close to Davis, the political science and women's studies double major has neither volunteered for the local chapter of the Free Tibet campaign nor organized a Tibetan-freedom rally in her hometown of Lyme, CT. Davis has not passed out one pamphlet, and she has neglected to sign an online petition that has been sitting in her e-mail inbox for weeks. 'Someone should tell Becca that the needs of the disadvantaged do not take a scuba holiday off the coast of Curacao,' Coe said, referring to a one-week vacation Davis took with her family in June. 'Activism takes time, hard work, and commitment. Posters don't nail themselves to sticks.' Davis said she was puzzled by Coe's statements, pointing out that she spent her past two summer breaks helping the disadvantaged. 'When I was a freshman, I spent the summer collecting donations for an organization that helps exiled Tibetans in Dharamsala,' Davis said. 'And last summer, I did this rainforest reforestation volunteer program for four weeks. But this last semester was really a killer, and I seriously needed some time off.' Added Davis: 'I mean, it feels like I just got back from West Virginia [where Davis built Habitat For Humanity houses with the Alternative Spring Break program].' Three Tibetans Davis failed to help. In spite of her failure to lift a finger for Tibet in recent weeks, Davis said her feelings about the country have not changed. 'I really do think it's important to promote support for the exiled Tibetan government and convince the global community that the nation of Tibet should be free from unwanted foreign rule,' Davis said. 'But next year, I'll be a senior and, you know, I don't have many summers left where I can just take it easy.' In this week's issue of The Nation, author and San Francisco-area activist Jay Minty wrote about the tendency of student idealists to shed their political awareness during the summer months, 'like so many Peruvian wool sweaters.' 'Between the months of May and September, only 4 percent of campus activists attempt to end social injustice,' Minty wrote. 'Why, for example, are 'Take Back The Night'-style anti-sexual-assault rallies only scheduled during the school year? During the summer of 2003, only the night of Aug. 18 came anywhere close to being taken back, at a small vigil in Farmington, ME attended by only six activists.' Continued Minty: 'When did summer jobs, TV shows, and awkward visits to extended family members become more important than human rights and economic inequality?' Thupten Lobsang, a Tibetan seeking an American host family, did not appear insulted by Davis' indifference to his people's cause. 'I hope Becca isn't being worked too hard at the bookstore,' Lobsang said from Lhasa, Tibet in a phone interview. 'I was amused by her choice of summer beach reading: the kitschy Jacqueline Susann classic The Love Machine. Summer does have a way of slipping by you, I agree. And I also hope that Becca had fun in Curacao, even if her annoying younger brother was there. I had an annoying younger brother once, too. He was imprisoned and later shot by the Chinese secret police.'

2	BREAKING: Supreme Court Makes Massive Decision On Gun Control It seems like Obama is determined to completely undermine our second amendment rights before he is out of the White House. Fortunately, the Supreme Court has been doing its part to keep the president in check. According to recent reports, the Supreme Court ruled this week that the government cannot stop a convicted felon from selling his firearms after he can no longer legally own them. The court ruled in favor of Tony Henderson, a former Border Patrol agent who complied with turning over 19 firearms to the FBI after he was arrested for distributing marijuana. After pleading guilty to the charges against him, Henderson wanted to sell his collection of weapons (worth thousands of dollars) to his friend, or transfer ownership to his wife. Lower courts ruled that he could not do this. Justice Elena Kegan of the Supreme Court claims that allowing a felon to sell or transfer guns is okay as long as the court is satisfied that they will not be returned illegally to the felon. She also argued that the lower court had gone too far when they claimed that Henderson selling the guns meant he was still in possession of them. What do you think? Do you support the Supreme Courts ruling in this case 
2	George W Bush And Bush SR Come Forward To Make SHOCKING Statement About Trump For decades, it has been a common practice for former presidents to endorse their partys nominee for president. It looks like that is about to change with Trump (most likely) securing the position for Republican candidate in the 2017 presidential race. Both former President George H.W. Bush and his son, former President George W. Bush, have gone public with claims that they do not intend to endorse Donald Trump as he makes his bid for the White House. At age 91, President Bush is retired from politics, Jim McGrath, the elder Bushs spokesman told reporters. He came out of retirement to do a few things for Jeb, but those were exceptions that proved the rule. The younger Bush, however, does not have the same excuse. Still, his spokesman Freddy Ford told the Tribune that he does not plan to participate in or comment on the presidential campaign. The Bushes are not the only former presidents who have refused to vote for the controversial businessman. Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker and others have spoken out against him. It is true, however, that Trump was ruthless in his attacks of former candidate Jeb Bush during the campaign. He also insinuated that George W. Bush manipulated the American public in order to go to war with Iraq. What do you make of the silence from the Bushes? 
1	Following Sunday's 21-14 loss to the New York Giants, in which Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw for 189 yards and four interceptions, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin posited to his coaching staff the notion that Roethlisberger might actually be a bad football player. 'What if we've convinced ourselves that he's good because we desperately wanted a star quarterback, but the truth is that he's actually pretty bad, and his occasional good games are just flukes?' Tomlin was overheard saying to offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, who later told reporters that Pittsburgh coaches, players, and fans have come close to asking this very same question about Roethlisberger's play before, only stopping short for fear of what that answer might be. 'I mean, we won a Super Bowl with him in 2005, but did he lead the team to that win or were the running game, receiving core, and defense so solid that we won it with a bad quarterback? Oh, Jesus.' Roethlisberger signed an eight-year, $102 million extension with the team in March. 
3	Monsanto Exposed as Source for White Phosphorus Used in Gaza MassacreBy Justin Gardner Their genetically modified (GM) crops have not increased yields, despite claims to the contrary. What they have done is: 1) encouraged monoculture, industrialized farming, 2) smothered out the sustainable, non-GM farmer, 3) waylaid beneficial insect populations and aquatic habitats with Bt toxins, 4) caused the emergence of several superweeds, 5) increased the use of chemical herbicides, notably Roundup, and 6) undertaken a giant human heath experiment with GM foods. Amassing wealth is Monsantos single goal, and it does this through government force, primarily by securing patents on life. Monsanto has also managed to infiltrate government agencies with its own former employees so the power of centralized government can be used to further dominate the market. The recently signed Trans-Pacific Partnership is exhibit A of this global cronyism. No other country is more controlled by Monsanto than the U.S. Here they find easy ground to wreck civil rights in order to build a more perfect corporatocracy. But agriculture is fairly recent territory for the GM giant. The chemical manufacturing side of Monsanto goes back a long way, most notably to Vietnam where Agent Orange was used to decimate vast swaths of tropical rainforest and poison countless Vietnamese civilians and soldiers, including American. The popular 2-4, D herbicide used today was an ingredient in Agent Orange. But Monsantos role as a purveyor of deadly military chemicals goes even deeper. For at least 20 years it has supplied the U.S. government with white phosphorus (WP) for incendiary weapons. Whats more, some of this white phosphorus was used in Israels invasion of Gaza at the end of 2008, known as Operation Cast Lead or, more appropriately, the Gaza Massacre. Israel denied using WP at first, but admitted to using it in Gaza under media pressure. It said the WP was used as an obscurant and illuminant, but even this type of use is banned in civilian areas under the Geneva Convention. According to Sputnik News, in 2009 the U.S. State Department confirmed that WP weapons from its Arkansas plant were sent to Israel for use in the Gaza invasion. The Monsanto connection to Israels war crimes and other uses of white phosphorus was exposed when Current Events Inquiry scoured documents on the US Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website, finding that the agribusiness company provided 180,000 pounds of WP to the government for making projectiles at its Pine Bluff Arsenal in Arkansas. The Government is aware of only one source, Monsanto, who currently manufactures WP in the US. WP requires specialized technology, skills and processes in its production. These technologies and skills must be protected within the NTIB [National Technology and Industrial Base, a term for the persons and organizations that are engaged in research, development, production, integration, services, or information technology activities conducted within the United States and Canada] in the event of a national emergency. [] Maintaining these skills within the NTIB is essential if the capability to produce WP is to be preserved. Without this restriction to the NTIB, there is a risk the domestic capacity to manufacture WP could be lost [] With only one known producer of WP in the NTIB (Monsanto), the Governments support of this domestic capability is critically important as it reduces the risk to the war fighter in times of national emergency as well as avoiding a potentially dangerous dependency upon a foreign source. Government procures the WP through a third-party contractor known as ICL Performance Products, which is a subsidiary of Israel Chemicals, Ltd. Before using white phosphorus during the Gaza Massacre, in violation of the Geneva Convention, Israel had used white phosphorus in Lebanon in 2006. The U.S. military had also used white phosphorus munitions during the battle of Fallujah in 2004. Sputnik News goes on to describe the effects of WP when people are close enough to feel its effects, as in heavily populated civilian areas such as Gaza. White phosphorus does not just maim, but can kill. It ignites upon contact with skin and burns either until it runs out of fuel or is cut off from oxygen. If inhaled or swallowed it can cause severe damage to any mucous membranes with which it comes in contact. Absorption through the skin means that a 10% burn can cause damage to internal organs such as the heart, liver, or kidneys, and can be fatal. Even after healing from an initial exposure, victims can suffer from long-lasting health problems, including birth defects and neurological damage. The making of chemicals has always been a lucrative business for Monsanto, especially when it comes to supplying the military, from Agent Orange in Vietnam to white phosphorus today. Who knows what else it makes in the interest of death and destruction? Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com Israhell the land that decency forgot. The shameless land I wonder why the author, Justin Gardner, fails to mention that Monsanto is an old family business of the Eskimos. So its just doing the standard family business of selling poison to the Goyim. I Will bet if we dig deep enough We will find Monsanto supplies the aluminum and barium compounds used to chem trail poison us also! Monsanto is truly evil. It seems that when deciding any course of action, Monsanto must first determine that the action has any positive implications. Only if its truly evil, with no redeeming positives at all, will Monsanto implement it. It has been said that the definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. The definition of Monsanto, is that they keep doing the same thing over and over again and the results are madness Monsanto = Zio Terrorism. Monsanto tool of choice by the all seeing eye crowd. Bringing sickness to and death to the decent folks of the world. Right up there w/ vaccines. Not sure how the fda (U.S. food and drug admin) sleeps at night. They are the patsies that allow this crap. 
2	Burqa Clad Muslim Loses It When She Sees Whats On This Mans Shirt [VIDEO] According to recent reports, a Muslim college student was sent into a rage when she saw a man wearing a controversial t-shirt. The woman reportedly came upon a white, former Curtin University student on the Australian campus and told him to f*ck off and that he had no right to be there. Dennis Huts was only trying to make his way to his appointment when he was berated by the woman for supporting a conservative politician. According to local reports, Dennis Huts was wearing a shirt to demonstrate his support for conservative leader Pauline Hanson, who outraged liberals everywhere when she proclaimed that, Australia is in danger of being swamped by Muslims. The student accused Huts of demonizing Muslims and went on to call him a fascist. He is a proto-fascist. He has no right to be here, she said to a camera. All he wants to do is demonize Muslims. Muslims have had enough. Get off this campus, youre not welcome here! Huts immediately pointed out that he had an appointment, and it was well within his rights to be at the school. Respect our rights, the Muslim woman continued. F*** off, move on. Huts later uploaded the video to social media, and ended up getting banned for thirty days. You can take a look at it below:

'Ms. Mimms has shown that she is incapable of caring for a young cycle,' judge Leon Orem said. 'It is the recommendation of this court that the hog be taken into the custody of the state until it can be placed in the care of a more suitable mama.' Among the Mimms transgressions cited: infrequent filter replacement, negligent outdoor storage of the bike and inadequate theft-proofing measures. 
1	Shock, dismay and fabulous money-saving opportunities were just part of the aftermath of a tragic mass-discounting Monday, when a price-gun-wielding maniac opened fire on the canned-goods aisle of a local supermarket. A store security camera captured the gunman as he worked his way down the canned-goods aisle, ruthlessly discounting items by as much as 40 percent. Though shot and seriously injured by in-store security personnel while escaping, the unidentified man, who police and grocery authorities describe as 'armed and dangerous,' remains at large as of press time. Inflicting discount savings of an estimated 30 to 40 percent on a variety of delicious food items throughout the store, the man held a stand-up display of Hormel Chili products hostage at gunpoint for 30 harrowing minutes before opening fire. The rampage of markdowns, which occurred at the Food Lion at Cobb Road and Highland Avenue in Middletown, caused an estimated '$22,000 in savings, product rebates and great three-for-two deals, valid until 10 p.m. Friday,' a visibly shaken Food Lion spokesperson told reporters. 'There was nothing anybody could do,' said second-shift produce manager Fred Gwaines, who witnessed the incident. 'We had no choice but to stand there and watch as our profit margin dropped right in front of us. I mean, I saw a 12-ounce jar of Mott's-brand applesauce get marked down to $1.19 right before my eyes. How could a person do something like that?' Though it is not known how the man came into possession of the price gun or managed to get it inside the store, law-enforcement and grocery-industry authorities believe he may have at one time received stocking and pricing training at a major supermarket chain, most likely as a short-term probationary employee or trainee. 'This was a sophisticated price gun, with dual spring-loaded sticker-tape loops and twin five-digit display settings,' Food Lion store manager Hank Schwepp said. 'People don't just walk in off the street with a price gun like that. What's more, he knew how to use it. This guy's seen his share of instructional training videos, that's for sure.' Witnesses said the man discounted hundreds of food items, as well as products for use in and around the home, before store security guards made the decision to return fire. Shot twice in the left calf and once in the right shoulder, the wounded gunman nevertheless continued to furiously discount food items without remorse before fleeing into the frozen-food aisle, eluding pursuers. 'It's a decision no guard ever wants to make,' security officer Bill Nissen said. 'But when I saw that deranged madman heading toward the frozen-food aisle, I knew it was either the Hungry Man salisbury-steak dinner entrees or him. There was never any question.' 'For a person to take that many bullets and keep going, it's almost superhuman,' Schwepp said. 'We're talking about a perpetrator who is pathologically devoted to huge savings on quality food items for a limited time only. Our grocery pathologists and retail forensic psychiatrists indicate that he likely has a long history of smart shopping and coupon use, and was probably exposed to budget-conscious family shopping as a child. Savings rule his life.' Food Lion officials are strongly urging all shoppers to keep a close watch on upcoming 'Clip 'n' Save' newspaper inserts for information about when and where the price-gun-wielding man may strike next, letting loose another barrage of low, low prices. 'Somewhere out there, this maniac is still free,' assistant store manager Ted Conn said. 'There's no telling how much ammunition he has remaining or how far he is willing to go in his mad pursuit of greater and greater savings at all Food Lion locations throughout the greater Middletown area. He's obviously highly resourceful, intelligent and single-minded about discounts. All consumers can do is watch, wait and pray. And stop by your neighborhood Food Lion, where we have no choice but to pass these inhuman, tragic savings on to you.'

2	Congress To Advance Impeachment Proceedings For Obama After THIS Happens According to a recent statement, Former House Majority Leader Tom Delay is coming forward to claim that President Obama should be impeached if he implements unconstitutional gun regulations on the American people. If President Barack Obama implemented a plan to require background checks on some gun sales by executive order and without congressional approval, the House should consider impeachment proceedings, Delay Claimed. The House needs to use its power of hearings to start letting the American people know that this is a lawless president, Delay continued. We have a lawless Supreme Court and the judiciary needs to step up and show the American people what this president is doing, which will support any other efforts to defund the president. What do you think? Do you support Delay? 
1	Just six months after claiming she was ecstatic about moving in with her boyfriend, and a mere eight weeks after announcing that she 'couldn't be happier' with their decision to take a brief time apart, administrative assistant Ann Castlen, 26, told friends Monday that she was absolutely thrilled to be single. 'Free at last!' Castlen said, nearly a year to the day after she informed several coworkers that she was emotionally ready to settle down and have children. 'It's like this giant weight has been lifted off me and I can finally breathe. I'm just going to enjoy this time alone and do all those things I was dying to do when I was bogged down with [ex-boyfriend] Brandon [Weiter].' According to friends, Castlen has expressed nearly identical feelings of elation upon returning to the dating scene, entering the initial phase of monogamous courtship, getting back together with an ex-boyfriend, developing a crush on a coworker, going on a series of blind dates, trying an open relationship, trying a long- distance relationship, and meeting a guy in a bar and having a passionate fling that she doesn't expect to go anywhere. 'When Ann was dating Brandon, she would never stop gushing about how sweet he is, and how he 'might be the one,'' said Castlen's friend and former college roommate Bridget Mauresco. 'I thought she'd be crushed when they broke up. But the next day, she's going on and on about how 'amazing' it is to be able to stay out late without having to call somebody to check in.' 'I haven't seen Ann this happy since she and Brandon promised to give their relationship one more shot two weeks ago,' Mauresco added. The newly single Castlen said she is delighted to finally have the chance to achieve several personal goals that she had no time to concentrate on while in a relationship, such as painting her apartment, catching up on the past three seasons of Project Runway, and training to run a marathon. According to Castlen, she plans to embrace the 'me time' offered by singledom until she is ready to date again, at which point she will become overjoyed by the exhilarating feeling of a blossoming romance and repeatedly claim that she 'deserves to be spoiled' by a nice guy for a while. 'I'm so happy right now!' said Castlen, who uttered these same exact words after Weiter first said 'I love you' to her, during the period in which she and Weiter underwent a brief split and were seeing other people, and when she had to choose between two boys who had crushes on her at sixth-grade summer camp. Despite reporting no significant changes in living situation, availability of free time, job security, financial independence, or self-confidence since last Wednesdaywhen she told friends she was relieved to have finally escaped the bar sceneCastlen said she is now at the 'best point in [her] life' to be single, and has already called her friend Mara Delung to arrange a night out to meet available men at Snooker's Pub. 'Last time I talked to Ann, she tried to set me up with one of her boyfriend's friends so I could 'have some stability in my life,'' Delung said. 'Then she calls me yesterday and asks if speed dating is still a thing. Apparently, she's always wanted to try it but just couldn't when she was stuck with Brandon.' Added Delung, 'Weren't they buying a house together?' Having such an optimistic outlook on her love life is not uncommon for Castlen, who since reaching dating age has undergone more than 23 changes in relationship status, ranging from long-term abstinence to a brief but intense affair with a married man. The 26-year-old has also celebrated three serious relationships that lasted the perfect length of time, five just-what-she-needed dumpings, two hookups with ex-boyfriends that 'gave her closure,' and an abruptly canceled engagement that Castlen said she couldn't have planned better herself. 'I'm glad Ann's finally doing what makes her happy,' ex-boyfriend Sam Lorz said. 'She's a great girl, and she deserves to be single, or dating, or taking time off from dating, or getting marriedif that's what she wants.' Lorz went on to say that, in the coming months, he may try to once again begin a relationship with Castlen, as their on-again, off-again casual flings 'always seem to cheer her up.' 
1	Old age used to be considered a period of decreased activity, mental slowdown, and reduced usefulness to society. In recent years, however, a new generation of ambitious, resourceful senior citizens is turning that trend on its head, reclaiming their youthful vigor by taking on second jobs. Atlanta's Pauline Keetan works the morning shift at a Krispy Kreme doughnut store. 'For too long, society has told seniors that they are worn out, washed upthat they've paid their dues and now it's time to rest,' said Arizona State economics professor Victor Romansky, a leading expert on the elderly workforce. 'Well, the 65-and-over crowd isn't taking 'no' for an answer any longer.' Romansky added: 'The face of the American senior citizen is changing. Instead of a glum widow coming home from her gift-shop job to sit in a rocking chair all night, we're seeing the eager smile of a Walgreens cashier working the 6-10 p.m. shift.' Supplementary employment, once reserved for the young and middle-aged, is quickly being discovered by the 'middle-aged at heart,' Romansky said. 'Whoever said people should settle into just one job at 65 never witnessed the pride of an 80-year-old grocery bagger,' said Skip Eldrud, CEO of the job-placement company Vital Signs Temporary Labor. 'It's moving to see that the can-do American spirit lives on, well into the years when declining bodily functions make many tasks difficult or even painful to complete.' 'Wake up, service and office-support industries!' Eldrud added. 'America's seniors are knocking on your door, and they're politely requesting an employment application.' According to Romansky, the increased drive for subsistence is ensuring the pre-Baby Boomer demographic a place in the U.S. workplace. 'A recent study showed that a modern American worker will hold an average of 14 jobs in his lifetime,' Romansky said. 'Seniors, many of whom have been working in the same field for their entire lives, are now trying to catch up. With the plucky, eager-to-please demeanors they bring to high-turnover professions, I wouldn't be surprised if many 'retired' folks worked another 20 jobs before they die.' Romansky said an additional job gives structure and meaning to the hours before and after workhours that seniors once spent worrying about rent and insurance premiums. Eleanor Reynolds, 71, recently took a job as a gas-station attendant to supplement her income as an administrative assistant. 'I thought I'd be spending my retirement looking through old photo albums and watching TV,' said Reynolds, 71. 'Boy was I wrong! I barely have a minute to spare. Instead of sitting around the house and reading, I'm earning $6.25 an hour.' Reynolds was a role model for many of the women in her now-disbanded knitting society, all of whom stopped talking about needing pills and decided to do something about it. Three of these geriatric go-getters now spend their evenings telemarketing. 'I used to sit around at night waiting for the phone to ring,' said senior Margie Bell, 68, of Litchfield Park, AZ. 'Now, if I'm even five minutes late for work, I know I'll get a call from my Capital One supervisor.' Romansky said that some septuagenarians need a little encouragement to recognize their latent industriousness. Clarence Lattimer, 72, of Apache Junction, AZ considered grabbing life by the horns after his military pension was reduced from $847 to $735 per month in November. But it wasn't until his daughter-in-law kicked him out of her house in January that Lattimer actually put his plan into action, enrolling in a night-school security-guard training program at the local technical college. 'It's such a relief to see Clarence out there on his own, supporting himself,' his daughter-in-law Denise said. 'There's no time like the present, while his cancer is in remission.' A second job brought Allentown, PA's Ginny Edsel not just a meager second paycheck, but somewhere to go on weekends. 'I hadn't bought a new outfit in almost six years,' said Edsel, 71, who recently took a supplementary job at Burger King. 'But now, I've got a brand new set of clothes. And a hat!' In her book Back From The Pasture, sociologist Anne Bailey said there is a reason why the second-job trend has spread so quickly among America's seniors. 'The re-energizing of an entire generation didn't just happen,' Bailey said. 'Seniors began to take their futures into their own hands after the notion that society must coddle those in the twilight of life became outdated. These days, it's not just acceptable for seventysomethings to work multiple jobs outside the home, it's encouraged. And with everyone questioning the viability of Social Security, it looks like this fearless do-it-yourself attitude is here to stay.' 
2	U.S. Airstrikes Hit ISIS Propaganda And Recruiting Radio Station With Obamas orders that we accept no civilian casualties, the United States has had to be especially tactful and creative in their takedown of the Islamic State. As such, our men and women in uniform have been targeting the resources that keep ISIS alivelike their money centers and more recently, their propaganda and recruiting radio station. Essentially, America is targeting the sources of growth for ISIS with their airstrikes, and the strategic move appears to be paying off. Watch the full report on Fox News and tell us what you think.

3	European Researchers Warn the World of the Dangers of Climate EngineeringBy Derrick Broze The project European Trans-disciplinary Assessment of Climate Engineering (EuTRACE) released their report, titled Removing Greenhouse Gases from the Atmosphere and Reflecting Sunlight away from Earth, which describes the limits and dangers of climate engineering schemes. Various methods for fighting climate change have been proposed, including controversial methods like Solar Radiation Management (SRM), which proposes spraying aerosols from planes in order to reflect sunlight. EuTRACE was formed to provide a European perspective from scientific and non-expert stakeholders ranging from the natural sciences and engineering to social sciences and the humanities. It is not yet clear whether it is possible to develop and scale-up any proposed climate engineering technique to the extent that it could be implemented to significantly reduce climate change, said Naomi Vaughan of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of East Anglia. The report warns that nations should not rely on untested geoengineering methods. It is important to understand the possibilities and problems associated with climate engineering proposals, in order to make decisions on them in a responsible manner, said Mark Lawrence, the projects coordinator and scientific director of the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) in Potsdam. But it would be irresponsible, based on all we know so far, to expect climate engineering to significantly contribute to solving the problem of climate change in the next several decades. One of the many dangers of manipulating the weather is the loss of blue skies. 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 scatters sunlight. He says this could decrease the amount of sunlight that hits the ground by 20%, making the sky appear more hazy. The controversy around geoengineering has grown in recent years as more people ask whether or not climate engineering programs are already active. Most people who raise these questions are written off as conspiracy theorists by the corporate media. It is highly imperative to research the dangers of geoengineering and consider the possibility that the U.S. (and other nations) may already be participating in live geoengineering schemes without informing the public or the global community. Whether to combat climate changeor use as a weaponaltering the weather couldhave disastrous ramifications. Believe it or not, 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. 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 countriesit 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. Its also now known that the government is currently practicing another form of geoengineering known as cloud-seeding. This practice is done in an attempt to cause rainfall and snow in drought-stricken areas or cause artificial precipitation in typically dry places. In fact, as AccuWeather reports, six test sites in the U.S. are being used now to employdrones to conduct the cloud-seeding process. Geoengineering and specifically, Solar Radiation Management, have increasingly been in the news as the global community looks for solutions to a host of environmental issues, including climate change. Another international committee of scientists released a report stating that using geoengineering techniques to combat the effects of climate change is not a viable alternative to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The committee report called for further research and understanding of various geoengineering techniquesincluding carbon dioxide removal schemes and SRMbefore 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. While speaking at an annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in San Jose, California, Professor Alan Robock offered a warning on geoengineering. Robock discussed the possibility that the Central Intelligence Agency 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 geoengineeringor mass manipulation of the weatheragainst the United States. Robock noted that, The CIA was a major funder of the National Academies report so that makes me really worried who is going to be in control. The National Academy of Sciences report examined the effects and possibility of geoengineering to combat climate change. The report was also funded by NASA, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. What do you think? Is the government using geoengineeringin a misguided attempt to save the world? Is it more sinister? Or is the whole thing a distraction? Leave your thoughts below. Want to know more?

Tune in! The Anti-Media radio show airs Monday through Friday @ 11pm Eastern/8pm Pacific. Help us fix our typos: edits@theantimedia.org. What do I think? I think I have video from my phone showing a jet going back and forth for hours, releasing a trail that persisted, grew into clouds and turned a bright blue sunny, cloudless day into a hazy/cloudy mess. This is from Olympia, WA, started the filming at about 10am and by 2pm the job was done. I took about five 2/3 min videos over the course of that time. Ive read the PNW is an area of heavy spraying, this wasnt the first or last time I saw this happen, thats for sure. AS for this report Great, they advise caution. But ocean iron fertilization is sensible too investigate? F*ck that. Sounds to me like this report is an attempt to lay the groundwork for sensible and responsible testing, since its not an all out call to NOT mess with mother nature via geoengineering. Like an astroturf kinda thing. The right word is escaping me. Thing is, if you start with the premise that AGW is a real thing, youre discredited from the start imo. Here in Tokyo we have been having a very typical, very hot summer. Yesterday was clear skies but then the chemtrails they lay down in the adjacent prefecture, Tochigi, blew in over the skies. I saw a couple clear chemtrails as well. Chemtrails in Japan. Yep. The idea that CO2 is the cause of global warming is refuted in a brilliant documentary called The Great Global Warming Swindle. It is also refuted by the fact that an idiot like Al Gore represents the issue, and we know him to be a big fat liar and sack of Something! Richard Wilcox, Reporting from Tokyo Since some of this weather war has been going on since the 60s in other parts of the world and they have been doing it over the US since the late nineties. Are they now going to admit that they are trying to correct the damage that they have done? How much do you think their lives would be worth if the truth ever got out? I would imagine that even being caught considering coming forward would be an instant death sentence. Pandoras Box has been open for quite some time now. As I understand it, there are 72 ionospheric heaters like HAARP positioned all over the globe. This goes WELL beyond the United States. It is a global conspiracy. That pretty much shoots the accidental theory in the forehead. To suggest that climate engineering operations are anything OTHER than an Empirical fact is simply insulting the intelligence of everyone with half a brain and one eye. It is a daily occurrence over the skies of Washington D.C. The only REAL question is one of motivationand given the fact that those responsible for it are so clandestinely secretive about it, one can only conclude that their intentions are nefarious. In the words of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Theyll ruin the air that you breathe, Lord have mercy! Theyre going to ruin us ALL by and by. Im tellin all of you beware. I dont think they really care. I think they just sit up there and just get high! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_GCJg8c_cI Chemtrails are so common in the United States that few people even remember what normal contrails look like. If the ruling psychopaths are willing to poison our water with toxic fluoride waste products, and poison our food with harmful chemicals and genetic manipulation, why wouldnt they spray us with poison from the air as well? Heck, some runaway nuclear reactor meltdowns that cant be controlled might be a dandy idea as well! 
3	Government Attorneys Implicated in Ethics ScandalJanet Phelan For those who are unaware of Greylord, here is a bit of history: back in the eighties, a collaborative effort by the FBI, IRS and a couple of outraged judges and attorneys resulted in one of the biggest takedowns of public officials in the history of Illinois. At the end of the 3 1/2 year undercover operation, a total of 92 people were indicted, including 17 judges, 48 lawyers, ten deputy sheriffs, eight policemen, eight court officials, and state legislator James DeLeo. The extent of the takedown might have mitigated further predatory acts by those in the legal system. Thirty years later, however, the corruption that was supposedly expunged by Greylord has simply become systemic. Back to Jim Grogan. Grogan, who is an attorney as well as ARDC press liaison, declined to reply to questions from this reporter as to why no statements of economic interests could be found for the attorneys who work for the ARDC. The law governing economic interests reporting is in place to ensure that those working in government capacities are not being influenced by financial lures and temptations. These statements are mandated by 5 ILCS 420 to be filed every year for nearly everyone who works in a government capacity. Michelle Burton, a paralegal at the ARDC assured this reporter that the ARDC employees are not state employees. However, the website for the ARDC announces that the Commission is an arm of the Illinois Supreme Court. The ARDC is in a particularly pivotal position. As the Commission responsible for disciplining attorneys, the ARDC functions as a gatekeeper. In that sense, the ARDC defines the legal climate in Illinois. Right now, the ARDC has taken upon its shoulders the regulation of an attorneys right to free speech. Attorney Ken Ditkowsky, who has been practicing law in Chicago area since 1961, is facing disciplinary proceedings for sending emails to federal authorities asking for an investigation of corrupt practices in Illinois courts. Shades of Greylord . . . Except this time, the feds are turning a deaf ear to evidence of legal malfeasance in Illinois. And Ditkowsky may in fact lose his license to practice law, due to his incisive perceptions and requests for investigation. Attorney Ken Ditkowskys concerns about judicial and attorney misconduct began with the adult guardianship of Mary Sykes, an elderly woman who was placed under a guardianship without due process. Another Illinois attorney, JoAnne Denison, is also under disciplinary proceedings due to her maintaining a blog about the Sykes guardianship. (Source) Ditkowsky soon realized that the phenomenon of what he is calling elder cleansing is going on nationwide. And for his act of speaking out against a pervasive assault on a vulnerable demographic groupthe elderly and incapacitatedthe ARDC has recommended a four year suspension of his license to practice law. As it turns out, the ARDC attorneys appear to have quite a bit to hide in terms of their economic interests. If you want to bribe someone, there are only a couple of ways to do this that would not trigger the red flags that are built into the banking infrastructure. One way would be to give someone a big envelope stuffed with cash. Brian Mulroney, a former Prime Minister of Canada, was caught red handed receiving such a bounty and a scandal ensued.(Source) The other way is through a loan. The mechanism is simply and virtually opaqueMr. X takes out a loan, such as a mortgage and Mr. Y pays it back. There are no banking flags to trigger and no embarrassing wads of cash, a la Mulroney, to explain. The use of such property loans to funnel payola to judges was exposed in a 2009 article, which first appeared in the San Bernardino County Sentinel.Now it seems that those in the Illinois legal system, specifically attorneys at the ARDC, have climbed onto the dinero express. Jerome Larkin, the Administrator of the ARDC and the individual who has signed the complaint against Ken Ditkowsky, has funneled several million dollars through his property in the last ten years. For example, Larkin took out a loan for $450,000 in December of 2001 and paid it back in exactly five years. In the meantime, he had taken out another $450,000 loanin October of 2006, which he paid back in just a tad over four years, in January of 2011. In the meantime, he had taken out yet another mortgagethis one for $101,000in November of 2009, which he was miraculously able to repay in just about a year. But his unusual loan behavior doesnt stop here. In January of 2011, Larkin took out a whopping $750,000 mortgage on the same piece of property. Larkin must have a direct line to lottery bucks, because he was able to repay this loan by January of 2013. In the meantime . . . are you getting the picture yet? . . . he took out another $750,000 loan in December of 2012. Neither Jerome Larkin nor his wife, psychologist Antoinette Krakowski responded to telephone inquiries concerning the amount of money being funneled through their home. Larkin is the big cheese over at the ARDC. There are other attorneys in the employ of that powerful, shadowy, not-government, not private commission whose loan history is also questionable, including attorneys Melissa Smart and Sharon Opryzcek. Apparently, the word about the loan trough is getting out. A check was run on the loan history of attorneys and guardians ad litem, Adam Stern and Cynthia Farenga, whose actions first alerted Ken Ditkowsky to the predatory nature of probate guardianships. Lo and behold, Adam Sterns loan history looks like that of a hyperactive kid in a Ritalin store. A review of the Cook County recorders website reveals that Stern has run over a million dollars through his property loans in roughly the last ten years. A couple of examples of quickly repaid large loans taken out by Stern include a $272,000 mortgage taken out on 9/13/2004 and paid back on 2/17/05. Stern also took out a $51,000 mortgage on 9/13/04 and paid it back May of 2005. On October 4, 2004 Stern took out an $80,000 mortgage which he paid back less than three months later. Adam Stern also has a federal tax lien on his home for $60,000. Stern, who is parenthetically serving as guardian ad litem in the Sykes guardianship and is thus in the responsible position of looking out for OPMother peoples moneycant even pay his own taxes. The head of a private investigators firm out in the Southern California area confided in me that judges were coming to him to inquire how to hide their property, so that public searches for these records would not result in transparency. Recently, Judge Ronald Christianson, formerly the Presiding Judge in San Bernardino County, changed the name on the records of his primary residence to Property Owners. Such tactics will make determinations of suspicious activity increasingly more difficult. Ditkowsky has filed a complaint with the ARDC referencing the impropriety of Adam Stern working as a GAL when he has failed to fulfill his own tax liabilities. At the time of going to press, other records detailing suspicious financial activity by ARDC attorneys and others are being turned over to a Grand Jury. The Director of the Administrative Office of the Illinois Supreme Court, Michael Tardy, did not respond to queries from this reporter concerning the economic interests and reporting requirements of the ARDC, which is an arm of the Illinois Supreme Court.

2	FBI Makes Moves To Arrest Hillary Clinton After She Is Caught In Huge Act Of Espionage According to recent reports, the FBI is in the process of investigating Hillary Clinton to determine whether she violated a federal law by making false statements about her handling of classified material. Fox News reported that this marks an expansion of the current investigation into the former Secretary of State and presidential hopeful. The agents involved are under a lot of pressure and are busting a**, one source told Fox. The investigation focuses specifically on U.S. Code 18, Section 1001, which prohibits giving materially false statements regarding any circumstances under the jurisdiction of the federal government. Violating the code could hold a prison sentence of up to five years. The problem for a defendant is when their statements cause the bureau to expand more time, energy, resources to de-conflict their statements with the evidence, FBI officer Timothy Gill told Fox. What do you think? Does Hillary need to be behind bars instead of in the White House? 
1	According to his teammates and coaches, Colts quarterback Peyton Manning has been sequestered in the film room at Sun Life Stadium for the last three days reviewing game tape from the Saints' 1974 season. 'Can't be too prepared,' a bleary-eyed Manning reportedly told a team manager, adding that if the Saints decide to sign former middle linebacker Joe Federspiel, 60, before the game this Sunday, he'll know exactly what adjustments to make. 'Could you get me that Rams game from November? I need to see how quick [former strong safety] Johnny Fuller got to the quarterback on the blitz. Go now.' Manning later told the Colts defense that they didn't need to watch any of the game film, as the Saints' quarterback in 1974 was 'absolutely terrible.' 
1	Chicago Cubs players reluctantly followed Coach Lou Pinella's orders to pack their equipment for a trip to Arizona Monday, causing many on the ball club to wonder why they were starting spring training nearly six months ahead of schedule. 'Last offseason I at least got to spend a little time with my family,' said Cubs second baseman Ryan Theriot while examining the unusual 2007 MLB Playoff patch on the right sleeve of his jersey. 'We must have done something right this season, though, because I heard our first exhibition game is already sold out.' Upon their arrival to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Theriot's theory regarding the team's improvement was immediately abandoned when he realized that the fans who had gathered to greet the Cubs were in fact booing them mercilessly. 
3	Pole Shift: It Has StartedChris Carrington Adam Maloof, associate professor of geosciences at Princeton University has believed in terrestrial pole shift since his student days. Years of research has not fully proven that terrestrial pole shift does occur at all, but his research has shown there is no possible way it could happen the way he envisioned it would. Maloof aired his theory on a National Geographic television program in 2009. The geological evidence discovered during the show found rocks in Australia that were born thousands of miles away, and Maloof saw this as evidence of violent upheaval. The rocks had the wrong polarity for their situation. As a geologist he knew that rocks maintain their original polarity from the time they are pushed up from the bowels of the earth until they crumble away to dust millions of years later. Finding rocks that originated thousands of miles north on an island in the southern hemisphere offered further proof to him that his theories were correct. Closer inspection presented him with a major problem though. There was no evidence of any violent upheaval, none, nothing at all to explain how the rocks had arrived in their current location. The pattern was repeated at other sites around the globe. He and his team turned up dozens of examples of rocks that just shouldnt be where they were finding them. Rocks that originated near the north pole were marooned in Australia and formations that were known for sure to have started their lives in the southern hemisphere were now located thousands of miles to the north. Maloof immediately concluded that a terrestrial pole shift couldnt have happened but that didnt explain the out-of-place rocks. After thinking about the issue for some time he hypothesized that terrestrial pole shift could occur after all, but on a scale so slow that we cant feel it happening. You can hear his explanation on Listen To The story: Talk Of The Nation. Many scientists do not follow his theory, preferring to believe that the rocks with opposing polarity just came up from the Earths interior when the magnetic poles were in their opposite position, or that they arrived where they are due to continental drift. Magnetic pole shift is a different thing entirely. The Earths crust stays in place, there is no movement of rocks or anything else on the surface of the earth. What changes is the Earths magnetic field. The magnetic field around the Earth is generated by the movement of molten iron in the outer core. When working properly it protects us from particle storms, cosmic rays, UV type B radiation and subatomic particles flying in from deep space. Without it the ozone layer would be eroded, and we would be exposed to almost everything the universe has to throw at us. Every few hundred thousand years the force of the magnetic field reduces until it is almost not there at all, and at this point the magnetic poles flip over, the poles exchange places. The geological record tells us that there have been many such reversals. The last one is thought to have happened about 780,000 years ago. Our magnetic field has been weakening for 150 years now, but the weakening is not uniform. Professor Elgil Friis-Christensen former director of Denmarks National Space Institute told the BBC: We talk about the weakening of the global field but in some local areas, such as in the South Atlantic, the field has gone down 10% in just the last 20 years. But we do not know whether we will go into a reversal or whether the global field will recover. Pole shift is not synchronized; for a while we may have two, or more south poles, or north poles, as the field adjusts and settles into its new position. Its a total unknown as to how long the planet would not have the shielding effects of the field. No one has yet even guesstimated how long it takes to complete the reversal and for the field to return to normal operating levels. The magnetic North Pole has been on the move for some time, moving from northern Canada towards Russia at a rate of 25-40 miles a year. The speed of movement has increased during the last decade. This increase coincides with the increase in the weakening of the field. In an attempt to find out exactly whats going on with the magnetic field The European Space Agency (Esa) launched three satellites on the back of a Rocot vehicle from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome at 12.02 GMT today. The mission, called SWARM will monitor the field for between four and five years and hopefully gather enough data for the scientists to see clearly the state of the magnetic field.(source) A magnetic pole reversal is going to present major problems. Compasses will be pointing in the wrong direction and GPS satellites will quite literally not be able to work out up from down as they are programmed for our current polarity. As humans were not around during the last reversal, the effect on animal life and climate is unknown. Will birds instinctively know that they should fly north for the winteror do they still fly south? Bees, bats and even mass migrations will most likely be affected. Will the climate flip at the same time as the poles? Or does that come later? There are so many answers that need to be found and scientists may not have that long to find them. Magnetic pole shift is a complicated dynamic process. Although no land mass movement will occur we will still face a time of massive upheaval and uncertainty. Our food supply is fragile at best, and massive environmental changes will be a challenge that needs to be overcome if we are to avoid a massive human die off. Ozone, the filter that takes out most ultraviolet B radiation, the type most harmful to human and animals will be depleted without the magnetic field there to protect it. Skin cancers and severe sunburn will increase. Cateracts and blindness will rise exponentially as the ozone reduces. One thing we do have the answer to already is that scientists, and most likely politicians as well, are worried. Cash strapped, austerity driven Europe would not be spending tens of millions of dollars putting three satellites into space if they werent. This is a situation we can do nothing about. Governments around the world know its started, but once again they say nothing. They give no advice about preparing for the future. The magnetic field has been diminishing for years, and as time moves on the speed of that reduction increases. Magnetic field strength is directly related to ozone. Holes in the ozone allow warming of the oceans in those regions to occur. Warmer oceans regions allow more precipitation and larger hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons to form. All this crap we hear about climate change, the explanations about why some areas are experiencing warm seasand rising sea levels; its not climate change, its the start of magnetic pole shift. Governments cannot admit this because theres nothing they can do about it. Instead, they sell global warming in a miserable attempt to mitigate some of the changes that are already happening.

1	Claiming that he personally was required to get everything precisely right in order for the world to enjoy the opening football games of the season, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell found himself unable to enjoy the season opener Thursday, as he was too busy with exhausting, time-consuming preparations. 'I have such a busy NFL schedule that I don't have time to watch football for even a minute,' said Goodell, who stayed up late the night before laying out each team's uniforms, cooking 2.2 million hot dogs, and applying paint to the league's facilities and fans. 'Wait, did I put clean towels in the visitors' locker rooms? I really must take care of that right after I mow the NFC North's fields one more time. They look a little shaggy.' Goodell, who hasn't had a free moment in weeks, was also concerned that the RCA Dome wouldn't have enough seats for everyone and said he should probably bring some more up from the basement. 
2	Obama Being Sued For Violating Constitutional Rights Well, weve seen this coming. According to recent reports, the first lawsuit has just been filed challenging President Barack Obamas executive actions concerning gun control. Conservative attorney Larry Klayman took the actions to a federal district court in Florida. The lawsuit accuses the president of seeking to circumvent the legislative process and invent new gun laws in violation of the Constitutions separation of powers. The President states that he is doing so purely because he does not like the legislative decisions of the Congress, Klayman argues. These actions are unconstitutional abuses of the presidents and executive branchs role in our nations constitutional architecture and exceed the powers of the president as set forth in the U.S. Constitution. Klayman further argues that the presidents actions infringe on the Second Amendment rights of American citizens. One of the new gun control measures, for example, redefines what it means to be in the business of selling guns to include non-gun dealers. Klaymans lawsuit is believed to be the first in what is expected to become a series of legal challenges over Obamas gun orders. What do you think? Do you support Klaymans actions? 
1	With estimates ranging from two marshmallows smushed together to the size of a basketball, fourth-graders at Greystone Elementary differed in opinion over how much their allergic classmates face swelled up during recess, sources said Friday. Caleb said Erics face puffed up like a bag of microwave popcorn, but it wasnt even half that size, said 9-year-old Dillon Porter, adding that multiple reports of the inflammation being purple and oozing were also inaccurate. And then Katie said his forehead got all huge, but she wasnt nearly as close as me or Ryan were. It might have gotten a little lumpy over one of his eyes, but thats it. He did sort of look like a puffer fish, though, like Brendan said. Porter went on to say that despite the controversy over the proportions of the allergic reaction, all agreed it was the grossest thing theyd ever seen. 
1	After struggling and looking stale in his last few starts, Rams quarterback Marc Bulger paid a visit to the Barnes & Noble Booksellers at Ladue Crossing Shopping Center to peruse books and periodicals in hopes of getting new and interesting touchdown ideas. 'I don't want to give Tory [Holt] and Steven [Jackson] the same old boring touchdown passes and handoffs every time,' said Bulger, who was reportedly skimming through Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich, cocking his arm back, nodding his head, and jotting down something in a small black notebook. 'And I can't just watch the opposing team's quarterback for touchdown ideas, because then I'm not doing anything new or original. Getting into the minds of contemporary thinkers and writers can help push football forward. Though I also get touchdown ideas while just watching movies.' Witnesses claim that Bulger left the store without buying anything. 
2	SHOCKING VIDEO: Look What Innocent Castile Did To Helpless Child Before Death At first glance, the shooting of Philando Castile seemed to fit the anti-crop rhetoric of BLM protesters perfectly. The media told a tragic story of a man being pulled over for a broken taillight, reaching for his wallet, and telling officers that he was legally carrying a concealed firearm. Shortly thereafter, a cop (with hidden racial biasesthe media told us) shot him with his child in the car, leading to the tragic death that was broadcast live on the Facebook page of his girlfriend, Diamond Lavish Reynolds. That clean story has slowly started to unravel. First and foremost, the Minnesota county office that would have issued Castiles concealed carry permit said that he hadnt even filed for an application for one, and the gun was being illegally carried. As it turns out, Castile wasnt even being pulled over for a broken taillight when he was stopped in Falcon Heights in the first week in July. In fact, he actually matched the description of a man who committed an armed robbery in the area the day before. Now, its being revealed that Philando Castile and Diamond Lavish Reynolds had done very little to protect the child involved to begin with. New videos, originally published to Reynolds Facebook page, shows that both of them would do drugs while driving with the child in the back seat. In a second video, Castile doesnt seem to be present. That footage shows what many believe to be a claim that Reynolds actually sells drugs. 
1	Reflecting on the aftermath of the George Zimmerman trial, citizens across the nation prayed Tuesday that HBOs The Newsroom somehow ends before the show is able to incorporate a storyline about the killing of Trayvon Martin. Oh, Christ, you just know Aaron Sorkin is already dying to clamber up on his high horse and tell people exactly how the media dropped the ball on this story at the time and exactly how he would have gotten it right, said Eugene, OR resident Sarah Vandenberg, echoing the thoughts of the countrys 310 million citizens while doing a panicked mental calculation to determine just how long the show will have to stay on the air for the Newsroom universe to catch up to the events of Martins death and the subsequent criminal trial of George Zimmerman. Honestly, I just dont know if I can make it through Will McAvoys self-righteous monologue criticizing other news outlets for selectively editing Zimmermans 911 call, or listen to an articulate new black staff members passionate, perfectly rehearsed speech to the rest of the News Night team at ACN about what it feels like to be racially profiled, or see how a heated office debate over race in America will somehow affect Jim and Maggies relationship. I just wont be able to handle that, okay? So please, please let the show be canceled by then. At press time, millions of Americans were already cringing at the thought of Emily Mortimer screaming in the control room to cut a conservative guests mic after he says something racist. 
1	Though he knew before his office's team took the field that his aging, out-of-shape body was at risk of physical injury, limping Affiliated Bank loan and trust officer Robert Newson, 48, told reporters Sunday that a muscle-pull, combined with a possible severe knee injury, was 'totally worth' the four innings of softball he played prior to removing himself from the game. 'Absolutely, 100 percent worth it,' said Newson, who refused to accept his physical limitations during the game by trying to stretch singles into doubles and throwing himself to the dirt to chase moderately fast ground balls. 'Completely worth it, no question. Grace? I think we might have to go to the hospital after all.' Newson later claimed it was the most worthwhile injury he had suffered since his crippling chest pains in last year's game against the Bank of Cross Plains. 
3	British Doctors Now Asking Elderly If Theyre Ready to DieBy Joshua Krause Now the UKs National Health Service has given us another unfortunate condition to look forward to. They recently told all doctors to ask every patient over 75 if they would like to establish a do not resuscitate order for future emergencies. In some cases, the doctors are ordering their nurses to cold-call every elderly patient, and everyone with a long-term condition, to see if they have thought about resuscitation. Could you imagine how awkward it would be to receive such a phone call? To be called right out of the blue and gently asked if youre ready to die. As one health analyst put it It will give some older people the impression that no-one wants to bother with them. It looks as though theyre being told: Youre old, how do you want to die because youre in the way. Of course, the NHS is playing innocent, and has claimed that this is all about improving the end of life care of their patients. But I think we know better. This is about asking their most expensive patients if they could do them a favor and die already. Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple, where this article first appeared. He was born and raised in the Bay Area and is a freelance writer and author.

3	WikiLeaks: Boeing Might be Planning to Hack Computers Via DroneIts bad enough that drones are being used around the planet to conduct aerial surveillance and bomb select countries from remote locations. Now some of their other intended uses are being revealed. Previously, two hackers (they were actually intelligence agency security consultants) demoed a 14-pound drone under the label Project Vespid that showed the ability for anyone to build their own drone, invade any wireless network, Bluetooth, or GSM, and wiretap, steal data, corrupt the network, or even shut it down completely. This was supposed to be a warning ofsomething new that the bad guys can get us with. Enter mega defense contractor Boeing supposedly one of the good guys who appear to have been exploring the exact same thing. The corporate Washington Post offers up the details and even a few surprising admissions regarding the relationship between Boeing and surveillance tech company Hacking Team, but again spins it to imply that this is intended only to get those terrorists. My emphasis added. According to an e-mail that summarizes the contents of a meeting between the two companies, Boeing was searching for a ruggedized network injector transportable by drone (!). Drone and network analysts offer a scenario about how this type of technology could work: A highly desired al-Qaeda operative is on the lam, hiding out in a bungalow in the foothills of some not-so-allied country, which may or may not be protecting him from U.S. detection. The American military could try hacking into that governments computer network to look for intelligence, but reaching across the globe through a keyboard is pretty hard and time-consuming. Or, the military could put an unmanned drone in the air equipped with malware to fly over the highly desired operatives bungalow and conduct some surveillance. Yes, it is has been proven to be quite tedious for the U.S. to hack governments friendly or not as mere keyboard warriors. But, no worries, that grunt work can be transferred to unmanned drones. You want to be able to place yourself in the middle of traffic to surveil it or gain access to it, said independent network researcher Collin Anderson. What this gives you is the ability to be in the same room as all the other machines youre tying to look out for. Regarding Boeings connection to the maligned Hacking Team, a spokesman said Boeing and Hacking Team have no business relationship at all.' Boeing claims that they simply need to know what technology is out there, so that they can create or respond to new capabilities. Interesting, too, is the admission that this is not as high tech as it sounds, further supporting the DIY meme shown by the 2011 demo that strengthens the militarys justification for taking action: WP ends their article with a cheeky throw-away line that, And now, perhaps, they might also be able to help hack into your computer. The truth is that we already have a government which has been repeatedly exposed for working with domestic tech companies to spy on their own citizens in every manner possible. We also have a Congress that has welcomed drones into American skies. Add the final component of fear over hactivists and cyber threats of all stripes and it begins to sound like the bad guys are everywhere. Mission accomplished.

2	What Michelle Obama Just Said About Amazing Grace Will Make You Absolutely FURIOUS Just a few weeks after the brutal murders of nine people in Charleston, South Carolina, President Obama offered to speak at the funeral of Reverend Clementa Pickney, one of the victims. According to reports, Obama planned to sing Amazing Grace, but the idea was quickly rejected by FDirst Lady Michelle Obama. Why on earth would that fit in? Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett claims that Michelle asked. I dont know whether Im going to do it, but I just wanted to warn you two that I might sing, Obama reportedly replied. I think if I sing, the church will sing with me. Well see how it feels at the time. Watch the video below and skip ahead to the 5 minute mark if you want the inside scoop on Michelles attempt to stop her husband from singing the Christian tune. 
2	Krauthammer Risks His Entire Career To Destroy Obama For Trying To Hurt Trump With Landmines Fox News Krauthammer has finally had enough of President Obama, who has made several ludicrous decisions to further his agenda before Donald Trump takes over the White House. Initially, Obama insisted he wanted a peaceful transition of powerbut time and time again his actions have shown thats a lie. I dont want to impute a general conspiracy but it looks as if the Democrats, on their way out the door, are trying to leave behind as many landmines as they can to at least cast doubts on the legitimacy of the Trump victory, Krauthammer began in a recent segment. All of a sudden, as we have seen, theyve gotten interested in Russian cyber warfare, which the administration appeared to be extremely nonchalant about until they lost the November election, he continued. Now, were going to have new investigations, meaning days and days of headlines about the other thing Democrats attribute their loss on, meaning Comeys action with 11 days to go in which he re-opened the investigation. What do you think of Krauthammers comments? Is he spot-on? 
1	Following a decisive win in tonight's Florida primary, presidential candidate Mitt Romney took a moment during his victory address to reflect on the current crop of Republicans vying for the party's nomination, telling the gathered crowd he '[had] to admit that, overall, it's a pretty weak field.' 'No question about it, you're looking at a bunch of duds,' Romney said to his supporters, who grew silent as the former Massachusetts governor added that it was hard to imagine any of the GOP contenders, himself included, being president of the United States. 'Republican voters have been dealt a crappy hand, and that's all there is to it. It's like the year the Democrats had Michael Dukakis and Gary Hartmaybe even worse. To be perfectly honest, our party's in a weird, transitional phase right now. We don't really know who we are, what we stand for, or what it is we're even trying to do. On the other hand, in 2016, we should be stacked: Paul Ryan, Chris Christie, Mitch Daniels. Lot of great options there. This year is garbage, though, and I sincerely apologize for that. Anyway, off to Nevada.' Romney then exited the stage to zero applause, got into his car, and was driven to the airport. 
1	In an effort to prepare her colleague for an upcoming encounter with the veteran actor Friday night, 41-year-old prostitute Hazel Pierson reportedly sat down with 24-year-old prostitute Lexi Grant to explain exactly who Richard Belzer is and what he expects. The conversation, which sources confirmed took place in the back room of The Playhouse Mens Club in East Queens, touched on the range of specific services the 70-year-old star of Homicide: Life On The Street and Law And Order has come to demand from the various call girls he has employed over the past several decades. Richard Belzer is one of our best clients, and he expects a high standard of treatment, physically as well as emotionally, Pierson said of the primetime television mainstay, adding that certain details, such as their meeting in his suite at the LaGuardia Airport Marriott, were non-negotiable. Make sure you arrive early; if youre even a minute late you wont be called again. And at exactly 6 p.m., hell open the door a crack. Just let yourself in quietly and change into the silk nglige hes left on the nightstand, she continued. Mr. Belzer will signal to you when hes ready. According to sources, after using her phone to show her younger coworker several recent photographs of the actor, Pierson laid out a set of strict guidelines to ensure a successful evening. These reportedly included not asking any questions about Belzers family life, film career, or 1997 HBO comedy special, and never discussing rates, since he always pays in full ahead of time. The older escort then reportedly drew from personal experience to convey Belzers requirement that any girl in his company apply a particular shade of English Rose lipstick and two sprays of Chanel No. 5no more, no lesswhich he typically sets up beforehand on the bathroom vanity. Look, I remember how nervous I was when Mr. Belzer and I had our first session, but I know youre going to do great. Sometimes Mr. Belzer will want you to stay the night, and you just have to do it. Youll be compensated, of course, said Pierson, adding that the actors desire to extend the visit would become evident if he nuzzled up beside Grant and gently stroked her hair. Basically, if he gets what he wants, hes very tender. Dont worry; theres never been any funny business, and he wont rough you up. But if he calls you Louise, just go with it, Pierson continued. Once, a few years ago, I asked what he meant, and he just got dressed and walked out. Thats a mistake you dont want to repeat. Over the course of the conversation, sources confirmed that the older escort repeatedly stressed to her less experienced colleague that Belzers time was highly valuable, detailing an occasion in 1991, around the time he first gained national fame, when one call girls reluctance to remove a piercing had prompted him to refuse payment and storm off back to the set of the television series The Flash. However, Pierson reportedly suggested that if Grant played her cards right and politely acquiesced to his very reasonable sexual demands, she could one day join the elite cadre of escorts favored by the 2008 Peoples Choice Award nominee. Look, I remember how nervous I was when Mr. Belzer and I had our first session, but I know youre going to do great, said Pierson, noting that the actor would certainly be infatuated with Grant due to his predilection for thicker thighs. Just remember that hes pretty well-known, and when he asks for somethingwhether its just holding you and looking into your eyes for the whole session, or sending you to the tub so he can watch you bathehes going to get it. All Im saying is dont go into this thinking itll be easy, she added. You cant just push him around the way you would with Sam Waterston. 
1	With the city in the midst of a record crime wave, concerned citizens claim the Liberty City Police Department has done little to prevent the constant car chases, ongoing gun battles, and overall atmosphere of violence that pervade the area. 'I used to feel safe in Liberty City, but lately, it's been total mayhem,' said night-shift worker Lola Del Rio, who spoke to reporters while sucking nervously on a red lollipop. 'In the past week alone, I've been carjacked twice, run over 10 times, and witness to a half-dozen gunfights that ended with automobiles exploding. What are the police doing to stop all this?' Officers respond to one of the 43,274 murders reported in the city last month. Since the surge in crime, which began on April 28 at midnight, more than 830,000 civilians have been murderednearly one-tenth of Liberty City's total population. In addition, 35,000 vehicles have been reported stolen, many of which were then driven illegally over sidewalks and pedestrian walkways before plunging into the nearby Humboldt River. And according to startling figures released by local community action group Citizens for a Safer City, drug trafficking has become rampant and prostitution has increased by 800 percent. 'I was shot 14 times on my way to work today, including twice by police,' said one Algonquin-area resident. 'That is unacceptable.' Many blame the LCPD directly for the increase in criminal activity, citing the department's lax procedure for arresting criminals, which involves taking 10 percent of the suspect's money, confiscating his weapons, and simply releasing him from custody later that day. Outraged citizens say this is not enough, especially in a city where assault rifles can be found on factory roofs and grenade caches are located under the globe at the old World's Fair site. 'The police just let them go, and 20 minutes later they're shooting at the very same criminals from helicopters,' veteran crime reporter Mike Whiteley said. 'That is not proper law enforcement. We may be seeing a return to the bad old days of 2002, when the police, the FIB, and even Army tank battalions would leave countless bodies on the streets while attempting to capture just one man on some sort of joyful mass-destruction spree.' Perhaps even more alarming, city records indicate that more than 75 percent of perpetrators in mass-murder or vehicular-manslaughter cases escape, usually by simple methods such as driving into a car-repainting facility. Criminals have even eluded pursuit by walking into their apartment and going to bed for six hours, after which the search has been called off. However, one LCPD official, who wished to remain anonymous, blamed the recent crime wave on the police department's lack of proper equipment. 'We are only equipped to pursue a suspect within a small radius on a very basic half-centimeter radar screen,' the officer said. 'If we were allowed to seek criminals who escaped this radius for more than 15 seconds, our results would improve dramatically.' 'And to those who say the LCPD is too quick to resort to deadly force, remember that almost 850,000 police officers, FIB agents, and N.O.O.S.E. [National Office of Security Enforcement] team members have died in the line of duty in the past month,' he added. Nonetheless, residents say that their confidence in the Liberty City police forcelow in the best of timeshas eroded almost completely. 'I was buying a hot dog from a street vendor in Hove Beach yesterday when I saw someone run a red light, barrel down the sidewalk, careen into a garbage truck, exit his vehicle, steal a nearby convertible, and drive away,' one Broker resident reported. 'A nearby police car didn't even react. But when the car behind him nicked his fender, the officer shot the driver through the windshield and walked away.' 'That is not the kind of law enforcement we want for our community,' he added. Most admit that the problem is not a lack of police presence, as the LCPD currently operates 15 different police stations throughout the city's four boroughs, and there is a seemingly infinite number of officers on duty at all times to respond to reported crimes. However, citizens say the officers' 'shoot-first' mentality and willingness to accept bribes only contributes to the city's widespread violence and corruption. 'It's almost as if the cops in this town are as much an adversarial faction as the criminals,' said public defender Kiki Jenkins, who is rumored to be instrumental in recent incidents of police being inexplicably pulled from chases and criminal pursuit. 'Sure, we have excellent radio stations and an incredible range of things to see and do here. But if I were younger, I'd move to Mario World in a second.'

1	A two-year study of television programming has established a link between cable-TV violence and violent scenarios on network television, the Institute for Media Research announced Monday. A violent scenario from the cable series <i>The Sopranos</i>. 'Our data shows that cable violence, particularly the more brutal, consequence-free violence found on premium-cable channels like HBO, leads to violence on broadcast channels like ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox,' IMR researcher Donald Peck said. 'This phenomenon has created an ever-widening spiral of violence on our nation's airwaves.' Peck said the IMR based its report on analysis of 700,000 hours of cable- and network-TV broadcasts from the past 20 years. According to the report, prior to the advent of cable television, relatively little gratuitous violence aired on network television. In the years since the proliferation of cable, however, incidents of violent entertainment have increased dramatically. 'Back in the late '70s, when cable was in its infancy, the most violent image you were likely to see on network television was the Incredible Hulk bending a metal bar,' Peck said. 'Now, entire network programs, like Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, are devoted to violent sexual assault. Where is this behavior coming from? It must have been learned somewhere, or people on TV would still emerge from car wrecks dazed but uninjured.' 'Something must be done to stop this cycle of violence,' Peck added. 'It's killing America's TV children.' According to IMR statistics, a cable-television character is killed once every seven minutes. Between 9 and 11 p.m. EST, that rate is even higher. 'Some will argue that cable-TV violence is irrelevant to the real problemviolence on the nation's broadcast channels,' Peck said. 'But our study revealed that cable television has a quantifiable effect on young network shows. Impressionable shows often look up to their cable counterpartswho have greater freedomand imitate them in an effort to stay 'edgy.'' Peck said that even when cable networks aren't emulating cable shows, they often use cable shows to justify their own violent content. 'Networks see The Sopranos and The Shield, and they think they're seeing normal TV reality,' Peck said. 'They use it to justify their own violent content on everything from their family dramas to their police and courtroom thrillers.' Peck said that, ironically, television crime fighters are the most significant perpetrators of TV violence. 'TV cops say they're fighting violence, but more often than not, their own shows are the worst offenders,' Peck said. 'The cops on Law & Order claim to be working for the good of minor characters, but the more violent criminals they find and convict, the more spin-offs they create. These shows trade in the violence they purportedly denounce, and the violence spreads like a disease to other channels.' Peck said the study found that when violence begins to spread on the network level, the overall negative effect on the safety of television characters increases dramatically. 'Even though the acts depicted on network television tend to be less violent than those depicted on cable, there are more of them, and the net result is an increase in the amount of episodic violence,' Peck said. 'In this way, they do more damage than the premium-cable programs they emulate could ever doeven ones as popular as The Sopranos or Oz.' 'Our findings are hardly surprising,' Peck added. 'Just last month, we released a similar report linking sexual promiscuity on cable shows like Sex And The City to increased sexual activity on young network shows like Coupling.' Sandra Gunderfeld, a member of the San Francisco-based television-character advocacy organization Stop All The Violence, expressed dismay at the IMR's findings. 'The fictionalized depiction of crime and violence is the greatest problem facing Americans on TV today,' Gunderfeld said. 'The IMR's message is clear. If we want to stop violence on network television, we need to attack it at its source: cable television. That's the way to make all of TV Land safer.' Fictional detective Andy Sipowicz said he is no stranger to the harsh reality of make-believe violence on network-television streets. 'It's true that something must be done,' said the long-running character, speaking words written by NYPD Blue creator Steven Bochco. 'You don't know what it's like for us imaginary characters out there on the front lines of America's TV streets.' 'Every day, our made-up lives are on the line,' Sipowicz continued. 'If we catch a bullet, there's no way of knowing what could happen, at least not until after the next commercial break. Many who have fallen in the line of duty never make it back into the storyline. They're gone forever.' 
2	BREAKING: What Obama Just Did Immediately After The Mass Shootings Will Make You FURIOUS According to recent reports, President Obama just asked the media to pay more attention to mass shootings claiming that the real tragedy is the degree to which this has become routine. The remarks were the first public remarks he made following a shooting in Hesston, Kansas. The shooter opened fire in a lawn mower parts factory, killing three people and wounding 14. I hope all of you pay attention to this, Obama said at an event in Jacksonville, FL. I hope the media pays attention to this. Once a week we have these shootings, and it doesnt dominate the news. And thats got to change. As long as I hold this office Im going to keep on bringing this up, even if its not getting the attention that it should, Obama continued. And I wish I didnt have to keep on talking about it. Lord knows I wish I didnt have to make these phone calls and comfort families. Reports indicate that Obama called Hesston Mayor David Kauffman on his flight on Air Force One. The White House offered his condolences from the victims, and thanks the off-duty police officer who was the first on the scene. These acts may not dominate the news today but these are two more communities in America that are torn apart by grief, Obama continued. And I thought it was important for me to say something today because somehow, as Ive said before, this becomes routine. We cannot become numb to this. Of course, he then went on to ask the media to pay more attention to gun violencesomething that helps him to push his agenda to limit the Second Amendment rights of Americans. Meanwhile, he remains silent about the violence against law enforcement in this country. President Obama sure knows how to pick and choose his causes.

3	40 Stats That Prove The U.S. Economy Has Already Been Collapsing Over The Past DecadeMichael Snyder That sounds absolutely ridiculous, but economists and journalists actually write things that reflect these kinds of sentiments every single day. They do not seem alarmed about the fact that our national debt is nearly 17 times larger than it was 30 years ago. They do not seem alarmed about the fact that the total amount of debt in our country is more than 28 times larger than it was 40 years ago. They do not seem alarmed about the fact that our economic infrastructure is being absolutely gutted and we are steadily becoming poorer as a nation. They just think that the magic formula of print, borrow, spend and consume can go on indefinitely. Unfortunately, the truth is that a massive economic disaster has already started to unfold. We inherited the greatest economic machine in the history of the world, but we totally wrecked it. We have been able to live far, far beyond our means for the last couple of decades thanks to the greatest debt bubble in the history of the planet, but now that debt bubble is getting ready to burst. Anyone with half a brain should be able to see what is coming. Just open your eyes and look at the facts. The following are 40 stats that prove the U.S. economy has already been collapsing over the past decade #1 According to the World Bank, U.S. GDP accounted for 31.8 percent of all global economic activity in 2001. That number dropped to 21.6 percent in 2011. #2 The United States was once ranked #1 in the world in GDP per capita. Today we have slipped to #14. #3 The United States has fallen in the global economic competitiveness rankings compiled by the World Economic Forum for four years in a row. #5 Back in the year 2000, our trade deficit with China was 83 billion dollars. Last year, it was 315 billion dollars. #6 In the year 2000, about 17 million Americans were employed in manufacturing. Today, only about 12 million Americans are employed in manufacturing. #7 The United States has lost more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities since 2001. #8 The United States has lost astaggering 32 percent ofits manufacturing jobs since the year 2000. #9 Between December 2000 and December 2010, 38 percent of the manufacturing jobs in Ohio were lost, 42 percent of the manufacturing jobs in North Carolina were lost and 48 percent of the manufacturing jobs in Michigan were lost. #10 Back in 1998, the United States had 25 percent of the worlds high-tech export market and China had just 10 percent. Today, Chinas high-tech exports are more than twice the size of U.S. high-tech exports. #11 In 2002, the United States had a trade deficit in advanced technology products of $16 billion with the rest of the world.

2	Hillary Clinton Caught With Life Threatening Disease, To Render Her Disqualified for Election Pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli was once considered the most hated man in America, after the liberal media vilanized him for raising the price of HIV drug Daraprim over 5,000 percent. Now, hes come forward with some shocking new information about Hillary Clintons health that is sure to outrage liberals even further. In a recent interview, Shkreli revealed that his experience with the pharmaceutical industry has led him to believe that the Democratic nominee has been suffering from Parkinsons Disease. He also noted that he had donated more to Democrat candidates then Republican ones. He argued that he felt compelled to speak out about Clintons declining health because the symptoms were obvious. He argued that her problems walking and talking are pretty unmistakable signs of Parkinsons disease. Watch the interview below and tell us what you think. G (@1080p) August 7, 2016 
1	In a gala Hollywood burial, The Land Before Time VI: The Secret Of Saurus Rock, the latest installment in Universal Pictures' and Amblin Entertainment's long-running animated series, was released straight to landfill Tuesday. 'For the first time ever, we're bypassing video stores and taking this beloved Don Bluth family adventure series directly to its biggest market,' Universal Pictures spokesperson Marianne Fordson said. More than 250,000 copies of The Land Before Time VI were released from a dumptruck and buried under 950 tons of dirt and refuse in the L.A. Department of Sanitation's dump site in Hollywood. 'Join us in welcoming this funny, heartwarming dino-tale to the bottom of an enormous mound of trash,' read a press release for the film. 
1	As part of its recent efforts to publicly align itself with fundamentalist Christian values, the Chick-fil-A restaurant chain announced today the debut of its new Queer-Hatin' Cordon Bleu sandwich that would be on sale in all of the company's 1,600 restaurants this Wednesday. In a press conference to reporters, company representatives said the homophobic new sandwich will include the national fast food chains trademark fried chicken filet wrapped in a piece of specially-smoked No Homo ham that would be topped with a slice of Swiss cheese and lathered in a creamy new Thousand Island-based Fag Punching sauce. 'The Queer-Hatin' Cordon Bleu is our company's way of showing our firm commitment to strong, Christian family values,' said Chick-fil-A spokesman Robert Gary, before adding that the vehemently anti-gay rights sandwich comes served in a combo with waffle fries and a medium soda for just $6.95. 'From the very first morsel of this savory meal to the very last bite, customers can envision gays burning in hell with their sodomizing cohorts, and know that our sandwich is on their side. 'Of course, the young ones will want to finish their meals off right with a No Fudge Packin' Soft Serve Cone,' Gary added. 'I can't think of a better way to follow up a sandwich this good.' While the release of the Queer-Hatin Cordon Bleu has led to anger from pro-gay rights groups, loyal Chick-fil-A customers claim they are happy they can finally enjoy a sandwich that takes a firm stance on the issue of homosexuality. 'Any sandwich that combines that great Chick-fil-A flavor with a hefty dose of vitriolic homophobia is definitely going to keep me coming back for more,' said Atlanta customer John Oaks. Come Wednesday, Im going to be first in line for this thing. According to sources, the Queer-Hatin Cordon Bleu is merely the first of Chick-fil-As new family values menu which is set to include the AIDS Is Gods Curse chicken nugget combo and the Fags Caused 9/11 strawberry fruit smoothie. 
1	With students set to arrive in about three weeks, teachers at Washington Street Elementary School were scrambling Monday to deal with a new round of budget cuts that slashed funding for the pipe cleaners and googly eyes they say are the cornerstone of a humanities-based education. Pipe cleaners have been used as a form of artistic expression for generations. 'We are closing the door on our children's creativity,' said Melinda Jarvis, a first-grade teacher who has used bendy and twisty materials in her art lessons for more than 15 years. 'Without pipe cleaners, these kids will be totally unable to transform everyday objects into things with skinny arms and legs. We'll just have a bunch of egg cartons sitting around. How is that going to teach them anything about the rich artistic traditions that have shaped our civilization for millennia?' Jarvis, who plans to lead an Indian-style sit-in on the first day of school to protest the cuts, is only one of thousands of educators across the country to face dramatic drops in their arts budgets over the past several years. In Boca Raton, FL, there were reports of up to 16 kindergartners sharing the same pine cone. More than half of Iowa's elementary school students gave their mothers crumpled-up Kleenex wrappers taped to tongue depressors as Valentine's Day 'roses' last year. And a school in Oxnard, CA was reduced to having students draw crude eyeballs on scraps of construction paper handed down from third-grade classes. A petition decrying the cuts drafted and signed by concerned third-graders in Ida Rosen's class in Marquette, MI. Bergen County superintendent of schools Jim Eckford said his office was forced to make some very difficult decisions, and that Washington Street Elementary School students and teachers alike would simply have to adjust to the new reality this fall. 'I would love nothing more than to see every student be able to make as many Santa Clauses with big, bushy beards as their hearts desire,' Eckford said. 'But these are tough times, and the fact of the matter is, cotton balls don't grow on trees.' In light of the budget tightening, Eckford suggested teachers develop creative outlets for their children that involve pebbles or paper-towel rolls, or somehow combine art class with lunch period. Local parents have joined the chorus of opponents, pointing to the need to stay competitive with better-funded private schools in which students have unlimited access to pipe cleaners and have been known to glue googly eyes to other googly eyes. 'Cutting pipe cleaners and googly eyes is simply going to lead to the elimination of more items from school budgets, like Popsicle sticks and yarn,' said Geraldine Mailer, president of the Washington Street Elementary School PTA and a mother of four. 'To write out one's name, or the name of one's mommy, by pasting dried macaroni to colored paper is to illuminate the human soul. We're going to wind up raising a generation of mindless conformists.' Mailer said that the deprivation could lead to future problems, including low self-esteem, juvenile delinquency, and a chronic inability to create homemade cards and scrapbooks. 'If we're going to deny our children access to diverse forms of mixed media, we may as well just shove a piece of paper in front of them, stick a pencil in their hands, and tell them to have at it,' Mailer said. 'But is that what we want for our kids? Is that what we want for art?' 
2	Garth Brooks Betrays Donald Trump In Disgusting Way, Do You Still Support Him Garth Brooks has been in the spotlight during multiple presidential candidacies, from Bush to Trump. Through all of them, hes never given an opinion on the president, other than talking about our political system being broken. When George W. Bush was inaugurated, Brooks was asked about his views on Bush and how the presidential race went. The whole political system kind of has me concerned right now, to tell you the truth, he responded. Two hundred years old and we might think about kind of kicking it in the ass a little bit. It just seems like we vote for things because theyre Republican or Democratic. I think we should vote for them because theyre right or wrong. Once we get there. Lets try and be four years down the road further than we were, and lets see what happens. Lets all work together. Now, Brooks has once again been asked about his political stance and how he feels about Donald Trump. He has not taken a public stance on either Clinton or Trump. The only indication of how we feel is when Garth was asked about singing at Donald Trumps inauguration. Oh, I havent been asked, but its always about serving, he responded. Its what you do. Now, it has been officially confirmed that Garth will not be performing at Trumps presidential inauguration. 
2	Muslims Everywhere Are FURIOUS After Pamela Geller Takes This Stand Against Islam [VIDEO] Pamela Geller caused quite the stir when she made the decision to push back against critics of the Freedom of Speech event being held in Garland, Texas. According to Gellers website, she was outraged with the morally inverted view of the media. The media had criticized the conference being held by the American Freedom Defense Initiative for being provocative. Inoffensive speech needs no protection, offensive speech needs protection, Geller told the hosts on Fox Friends. What do you think of Pamelas comments? 
2	Andrea Tantaros Just Did What No Ever Dared To Do To Fox News... SHES BACK It has been a tumultuous year for former Fox News host and proud Trump supporter Andrea Tantaros. She was ultimately forced off her show outnumbered on Fox News, but that has not stopped her from standing up to the executives who ousted her. Many believe she was aggressively and wrongfully targeted because she so passionately backed Trump. Tantaros is not taking this in silence. Now, it appears she has fresh evidence she can use in her lawsuit against Fox News execs. She recently released a signed affidavit that she got from her therapist, attesting to all the things Fox News employees did to her over the course of her two years with them. Over the course of many months (2014-2016), Andrea relayed to me on multiple occasions instances of Mr. Ailess demaning and overtly predatory behavior, as well as the abusive conduct of Fox Newss public relations department, Dr. Michelle Berdy wrote. Dr. Berdy also touched on a specific incident between Tantaros and Bill Shine. I recall Andrea being shocked and devastated after a meeting with Mr. Shine in which he told her that she needed to stop complaining about Mr. Ailes sexual advances towards her, and his subsequent retaliation, she wrote. I have a very clear recollection that Andrea was very upset that Mr. Ailes had (a) unsuccessfully asked her to turn around for him so he could view her posterior, (b) unsuccessfully asked her to hug him, (c) asked her if she planned to marry, (d) discussed his negative views about marriage, (e) asked her questions about the sexuality and sexual relationships of other people working for Fox News, and (f) made insulting comments about a number of women working for Fox News, she concluded. What do you think? Could Tantaros successfully take down Fox News? 
2	Hobby Lobby Announces Plans To Close All Stores... Heres The Disturbing Reason Why Hobby Lobby is arguable one of the most popular stores in America, with more than 500 locations in 41 states. Over the past few years, the brand has become more controversial, primarily for refusing to step down from their strong Christian values. Despite pressures from the liberal government and media to shut down, Hobby Lobby has remained strong. And their locations are frequented by patriots across the country that are quick to voice their respect for the organization. Unfortunately, Hobby Lobby founder and CEO David Green has just released an open letter revealing that he may need to close all of his stores. Read it below and tell us what you think: When my family and I started our company 40 years ago, we were working out of a garage on a $600 bank loan, assembling miniature picture frames. Our first retail store wasnt much bigger than most peoples living rooms, but we had faith that we would succeed if we lived and worked according to Gods word. A new government healthcare mandate says that our family business MUST provide what I believe are abortion-causing drugs as part of our health insurance. 
2	Dem Party Platform Just Drafted... Who They Want To Arrest Is Beyond Belief In a truly disturbing move, the Democratic Partys 2016 is set to include provisions that would give the federal government the power to investigate anyone who disagrees with global warming. According to the Democratic National Conventions website, a joint proposal calling on the Department of Justice to investigate alleged corporate fraud on the part of fossil fuel companies who have reportedly misled shareholders and the public on the scientific reality of climate change was also adopted by unanimous consent. The drafting committee is reportedly being led by DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Rep. Elijah Cummings. The pair has insisted the platform is what Americans want. As Democrats, we believe that our countrys greatest strength is its people, and were committed to the values of inclusion and opportunity for all, Wasserman Schultz said in a statement. Our candidates ran strong campaigns that addressed the priorities of the American people, and I am proud to say that the drafting process has reflected our commitment as a party to elevating their voices. The platform comes at a pivotal time, with several state attorney generals investigating ExxonMobils efforts to tell a different story on climate change. If it is possible to minimize the risks of climate change, then the same goes for exaggeration, Republican AGs wrote of the decision. If minimization is fraud, exaggeration is fraud. Another commentator added that the proposal is without parallel. Criminalizing one side of a political debate is, as far as I know, unprecedented in American history, John Hinderaker on Power Line wrote. Yet the Democratic Partys Platform Committee has now made this assault on the First Amendment official party policy. What do you think? Is it wrong to criminalize different opinions on a political issue? Have Democrats gone completely overboard pushing their own agendas? 
3	Swiftly Blaming Bulgaria Terror Attack on Iran Spells False FlagBrandon Turbeville Nicolas Kulish and Matthew Brunwasser of the New York Times wrote: In a formal statement, President Barack Obama condemned what he called todays barbaric terrorist attack on Israelis in Bulgaria. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went much further in his condemnation and stated that All signs point to Iran. Netanyahu further stated that Over the last few months we have seen Irans attempts to attack Israelis in Thailand, India, Georgia, Kenya, Cyprus, and other countries. Indeed, Israel has been trying its best to react to Iran for several years, at the very least ever since the years of the Bush regime. However, as more and more facts emerge regarding the Bulgarian bus explosion, the more and more reasons we have for concluding that Iran was not responsible for it , just like the other attacks supposedly committed by Iran. To begin with, the very fact that both Israel and the United States had such immediate knowledge as to whom was responsible for the attacks seems questionable at best. However, the fact that this information would point to Iran after both the United States and Israel have been so vocal and open with their desire to harass, provoke, and attack the Middle Eastern nation, is even more suspect. Just taking a look at some of the most basic facts of this incident seem to incriminate Israel or even the NATO/Anglo-American (Mossad/CIA/MI-6) intelligence agencies much more so than it does Iran. First, one must ask the obvious question of cui bono? Or, who benefits? Would Iran, encircled by U.S. military bases, located near an increasingly destabilized Syria, and in the crosshairs of the most powerful military powers on the face of the earth, really benefit by committing a solitary act of terror that, beyond killing 6 civilians, has no military objective whatsoever? Indeed, the only thing such an act would accomplish would be to whip up political and public support for an action against Iran on behalf of those nations who already had their finger on the trigger and have only been looking for public justification to pull it. However, if one flips the subject nation of this question around and looks at what Israel or the United States/Anglo-American empire would have to gain by such an event, the bombing tends makes much more sense. Indeed, the increase in public support for military action against Iran would only serve to boost the ability of the political forces and shadow government machines to wage their long-desired war against Iran. Let us not forget that false flag attacks which were designed to be blamed on Iran have been attempted on at least two occasions that we know of in the last several years. The first was the plan by then Vice President Dick Cheney to replicate the Gulf of Tonkin incident with boats and marines painted up with Iranian colors which would then stage a shootout with American naval ships. This would have provided the rally cry of national defense needed to launch an attack against the aggressor nation which would have been bombed into the stone age and WW3 begun long before any real revelation of the true nature of the event came to light. The second was the absolutely hilarious staged attempt by a so-called Iranian used car salesman planning to engage in acts of terror inside the United States. But while both of these incidents were unsuccessful, it appears that the Bulgarian bombing incident may have more traction. Propaganda efforts have, for the most part, been increased in the years since Cheney boat incident. Nevertheless, it should also be mentioned that both Israel and the United States would benefit immensely from the fact that the all of the victims (with the exception of the tour guide) were Israeli, thus completing the necessity of the false flag to be perceived as an attack upon oneself. Certainly, members of the public are thinking, Israel wouldnt bomb its own citizens, would they? Although the attacks were apparently carried out by a suicide bomber, this should not serve to dampen suspicions of the involvement of Western or Israeli intelligence in the bombings. After all, it is well-known that fundamentalists, fanatics, and jihadists like those in al-Qaeda, Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, or the Free Syrian Army are completely controlled by CIA/MI-6 and a small contingent of other Western intelligence agencies. Some even have strong ties to Israeli intelligence. One other interesting note concerning the technical aspects of the attacks. After the bus had exploded, Oren Katz, an Israeli onlooker, was forced by circumstance to assume the role of emergency worker. This is because the Security agents themselves were essentially doing nothing, another strange circumstance that may, or may not, indicate a possible false flag. Katz recalls, It was strange that there were so many security people around but none of them seemed to be focused on actually helping the wounded people, and I couldnt believe that I of all people was the one taking care of this burning woman and stopping her from burning up. Strange indeed. However, it is not only strange that the security people would not be focused on helping the wounded people, it is strange that they would be there to begin with. More than one Bulgarian citizen has told this writer that security presence any security presence at public bus terminals in Bulgaria is an extremely rare event. In fact, it was stated to me that, there would be no security at all. They [security personnel/police] would not have been there at all unless they had prior knowledge of something going on. So, with this in mind, one encounters yet another interesting coincidence that involves security personnel that just happen to be in the exact location of an unforeseen terrorist attack. Such an occurrence is reminiscent of the many terror drills occurring on both 9/11[1] and 7/7. At this point, the claim that Iran is responsible for the Bulgarian bus bombing seems ludicrous. The only beneficiaries of such an act would be the aggressor nations of Israel and the United States as well as the rest of the world army currently known as NATO, itching to plant its boots on Iranian soil. As for the technical aspects which, at this point are still being revealed, it is safe to say that no nation is immune to the methods of false flag terror employed by the shadow government factions which themselves exist inside every country on earth. If the United States, the UK, Russia, and virtually every other country in the world has, at some point, fallen victim to false flag terror, there is no reason to believe that Bulgaria would be any different. As another Bulgarian citizen recently stated to me after hearing of the bus bombing, with enough money you can make anybody do anything in this country.

2	She Was A Star Before Puberty, What This Country Sensation Looks Like Now...OMG Tanya Denise Tucker was born in 1958. She is now 57 years old, and has been performing for 43 years. She made her chart-topping debut at the age of 13 with Delta Dawn. Before her hit song was released Tanya frequently performed with Mel Tillis. In 1969 her family moved to Las Vegas and she regularly performed. Her first demo album gained the attention of the head of A R at CBS records. Columbia records quickly signed Tanya. Her first hit was not an original song; in fact it was not the first song that the record label wanted her to record. Tanya passed on recording The Happiest Girl In The Whole USA. Tanya chose Delta Dawn because she had heard Bette Midler perform it on The Tonight Show. Originally the record label tried to keep Tanyas age under wraps, but it soon leaked. Tanya became a sensation the moment her age was known. Tanya was one of few female artists to be classified as being part of the Outlaw Country movement. With maturation, Tanya Tucker gained fans. Tanya had her last hit song in 2004. Since then she has struggled to find any song with traction. She released an album in 2009, but it was a flop. Tanya still has a loyal fan base, but she is struggling to regain the fame she had when she was only 13 years old. Do you still love Tanya? 
1	NASCAR has announced that their new partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation will allow young, terminally ill stock-car-racing fans to spend their last moments on Earth living out their fantasies of driving like Tony Stewart, Jimmie Johnson, and especially all-time favorite Dale Earnhardt. 'We wanted to give kids with life-threatening medical conditions the chance to get into a 750-horsepower Nextel Cup car and experience what life is like on the ragged edgeand beyond,' NASCAR public-relations associate Todd Linden said while helping a 13-year-old leukemia patient into a specially outfitted Monte Carlo with loose steering, a bad front-end push, and four weak tires. 'We believe they deserve a chance to know what driving a race car is like before they die even immediately before.' Replacement cars for the program are paid for by the estate of the late Dale Earnhardt, whose relatives say would have loved to treat kids to the experience. 
3	New CDC whistleblower video: more autism fraudJon Rappoport It can be found by searching for Autism Media Channel on Vimeo. In the video, Wakefield explains that in 2001, CDC whistleblower William Thompson and colleagues found a second connection between the MMR vaccine and autism. The first connection, now widely known, was among African-American male babies. This second connection was discovered in young children, regardless of race, who had a) received the MMR vaccine on schedule, as recommended by the CDC, and b) had no other factors sometimes observed to accompany autism, such as cerebral palsy, mental retardation, and birth defects. This subset of children was labeled isolated autism. They showed an increased risk for autism after receiving the MMR vaccine. Wakefield states or implies that whistleblower Thompson participated in this fraud as well, along with at least one other CDC colleague, Dr. Colleen Boyle. Boyle, according to Wakefield, made a handwritten notation, in 2001, ordering an arbitrary and unwarranted reshuffling in the age-group parameters of the children in the study, in an effort to conceal the increased risk of autism. But, Wakefield states, her strategy failed to bury the MMR vaccine-connection, so in the end, all the data suggesting an increased autism risk in this group were simply deleted from the study. Wakefield doesnt give the title of the study, but it is presumably the same one published by the journal Pediatrics in 2004about which Thompson has already confessed gross fraud. In the video, Wakefield posts a page of statistics on which there is handwritten note. This is presumably Colleens note ordering a reshuffling of categories, to bury the vaccine-autism connection. (See the 2m44s mark in the video). This page, if verified, would open up a new front in the exposure of vaccine-autism fraud at the CDC. Collen Boyle is not only an author of studies; she is a high-ranking CDC executive, acquiring her position in 2001, the year in which the above-mentioned purported fraud took place. As her bio on the CDC website states, in 2001, she was made associate director for science and public health for the newly created National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD). In that role, she was responsible for developing and coordinating the science activities of the National Center. In September 2010, she became acting director of NCBDDD. In her acting capacity, Coleen led the finalization of the centers five-year strategic plan. Did that plan include covering up the vaccine-autism connection?

2	Melania Trump ABSOLUTELY Destroys Michelle Obama In a recent interview, Melania Trump proved that she would be a vast improvement over Michelle Obama. The wife of the legendary businessman told GQ that she would strive to be more of a traditional first lady, like Jackie Kenned or Laura Bush. Melania claims that she chose not to go into politics and policy. Those policies are my husbands job, she continued, and she had a very interesting answer when asked about her advice for her husband. Nobody knows and nobody will ever know. Because thats between me and my husband. Melania already supports many charities involving children, involving many different diseases. She also claims that she wasnt very happy when her husband announced his decision to run for president. When we discussed about it, I said he really needs to make sure he knows he really wants to do it, because life changes, Melania continued. GQ also asked Melania about her relationship with the Clintons, who were present at her wedding to Trump. It was completely different than it is now, she commented. When they went to our wedding, we were private citizens. This is it, what it is. Its all business now; its nothing personal. What do you think? Would Melania be a refreshing presence to have in the White House? 
3	Obama Executive Order Will Nationalize the Demonization of US Veterans as Mentally IllSusanne Posel, Contributor Last week, it was recounted by mainstream media(MSM) that Terence Tyler, former US Marine had opened fire on his co-workers at a New Jersey supermarket called Pathmark before turning the gun on himself. Tyler was reported to have been carrying an AK-47 with several rounds of ammunition, as well as a handgun when he began shooting seemingly at random into the supermarket. The semiautomatic weapon Tyler used in the shooting is purported to be illegal according to New Jersey state lawsif it is enhanced with elements that would raise the gun to the level of assault rifle. Bruce Kaplan, Middlesex County prosecutor said that there were 16 shots fired in the Pathmark store at 4 am wherein 2 co-workers of Tyler were killed. Kaplan asserts that he does not believe they were specifically targeted. I believe everybody in the store was a target. It appears he opened fire on the employees that he observed in the store when he entered the store. Richard Ulsh, Marine Corps Captain and spokesman confirmedthat Tyler had been in active duty between March of 2008 and February of 2010 in California and was discharged as a lance corporal with a specialty as a rifleman. Ulsh also stated that Tyler was part of the national emergency unit that would be deployed in the event of a terrorist attack. By using Tylers FacebookandTwitteraccounts to demonize him, the MSM are claiming that Tyler was a depressed, ticking time-bomb just waiting to explode. By citing a post on his Twitter account (which has since been locked to public view) Tyler allegedly saidthree years ago: is it normal to want to kill ALL of ur coworkers? This comment does not fit the facts begin reported by the MSM that Tyler began his employment with Pathmark only 2 weeks ago when the Tweet about co-workers was stated over 3 years ago. Many others, including a radio talk-show host and more former military have been forcibly removed from their homes and taken to VA psychiatric wards where they were sequestered and threatened with the intention to not only remove their guns, but also possibly use dangerous cocktails of psychotropic drugs to control their minds. Last week, Obama signed an executive order(EO) entitled, Improving Access to Mental Health Services for Veterans, Service Members, and Military Families with the supposed focus on strengthening support for the emotional and mental health needs of our service members and their families. In this EO, Obama takes control over the evaluation of the mental health of our returning service men and women by providing US government controlled effective mental health services for veterans, service members, and their families. Obama is authorizing the coordination of the Departments of Veterans and the Department of Defense (DoD), as well as the Departments of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Defense to transition veterans back into civilian life. Keeping in line with touting all veterans as mentally defective, substance abusers and suicidal, Obama demands that the VA and the DoD collaborate to provide proactive measures and a psychiatric pre-screen of returning service men and women to prevent erratic behavior. The DoD will review all existing mental health and substance abuse prevention, education and outreach programs within the military services and access their effectiveness. During a private roundtable discussionat Fort Bliss in Texas, Obama met with members of the military and addressed active duty troops. The Obama administrations focus is on identifying and providing additional support to soldiers who have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Previously, the DoD have come out publicly to statethat US veterans suffering from TBI and chronic traumatic encephalopathy(CTE) are considered potentially violent and dangerous. Doctors for the DoD claim CTE is an incurable disease soldiers may develop after having injured their brain in battle. CTE is explained as causing large bursts of anger and depression while having their vital motor skills and memory impacted; as well as being degenerative of whose effects can manifest themselves days, months or years after the initial trauma. The DoD is trackingsoldiers diagnosed with TBI/CTE because, according to the US government agency, they may display personality changes that could come on without warning and effect their ability to acclimate back into American society. At Fort Detrick and Fort Bragg, in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the US military is conducting clinical trialson 2,000 solders to create a medical screen to detect a persons propensity toward TBI/CTE by measuring biomarkers. The Obama administration devised areportin 2011 entitled Strengthening Our Military Families that focuses on the mental stability of our US service men and women. It questions whether or not their exposure to battlefield conditions, TBI/CTE, and diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PSTD) is causing them to be a potential danger to society. Hidden under bureaucracy of promising to develop governmental systems to aid veterans, the document is directed at identifying all veterans potential to become mentally incapacitated due to some psychiatric disorder which would cause them to become violent, depressed, aggressive and inevitably dangerous to society. The EO also allocates the US government-sponsored use of local community mental health clinics, community health centers, substance abuse treatment facilities, and rural health clinics to assist the DoD in identifying veterans who may be suffering from mental illness and would therefore have federal agencies working with private sector health providers to ensure veterans get the psychiatric help they need in a timely way. Obama has ordered 15 pilot projects to be established to create an integrated mental health system wherein the DoD would have complete oversight. The DoD would also be at the liberty of defining the parameters of the objective need of mental healthcare of veterans. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs (SVA) will employ 800 peer counselors by 2013 that will be controlled and disseminated by the DoD under directives of the SVA. Collaborative tools and monetary oversight will remain with the SVA as an estimate 1,600 mental healthcare workers is expected to be needed to deal with the issue of mentally ill veterans nationally. A National Research Action Plan will be established by May of 2013 that will be sponsored by the US government to use biomarkers for early diagnosis and treatment of veterans who tested positive for a propensity toward TBI/CTE. Obama wants to integrate electronic data sharing of information about veterans and their predetermined mental status between federal agencies, academia and state-sponsored research facilities to create pharmaceutical and psychiatric answers to this supposed burgeoning problem. The goal of the Obama administration is to devise a comprehensive longitudinal mental health study with an emphasis on PTSD, TBI, and related injuries to identify mental health issues in veterans and enroll veterans in a long-term plan coordinated with the Department of Veteran Affairs which will be directed by the DoD. The creation of a Task Force to advise Obama on how to deal with mental illness and veterans will be established within 180 days of the EO. This Task Force will alone define specific goals on how to best combat veterans alleged fall into mental illness with specific regard to TBI/CTE and post-traumatic stress disorder (PSTD). The US governments goal is to identify these veterans and label them with a progressive, unstable and degenerative disease so that they can refer them to mental hospitals for further evaluation and/or admittance. The manufactured threat of US veterans stems from the 2009 Department of Homeland Security report entitled Rightwing Extremism.This report clearly outlined that veterans, because of their diverse training in tactical operations, would be a decisive threat to the US governments plans to declare martial law against the American public in the near future. Defined in the document were domestic extremists, particularly white supremacists, were proposed to be the newest and most dangerous threat to the US since al-Qaeda. The US Armed Forces have discoveredthat white supremacists have infiltrated the US military and with the assistance of the FBI-sponsored Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and Zionist-controlled Anti-Defamation League (ADL), they are creating a training course to teach active duty military how to spot those infiltrators in their own ranks. This new EO, which allows the Obama administrations focus on labeling military active and former as mentally ill and detain them in psychiatric hospitals, is happening right now. As we have seen in the recent weeks, many of our former service men and women are being carted away to mental wards because the indefinite detention provision in the NDAA has been ruledunconstitutional by New York District Court Judge Katherine Forrester. However, committing an individual to a mental hospital is not illegal. Our veterans, under this new attack for their sanity is also weighing against their right to bear arms. In every case of detention by way of mental illness of late, those removed were also relived of their guns. This kind of control over citizens by government was practiced by Mao in China, Communist Russia and Nazi-controlled Germany. As following in the footsteps of previous dictators, Obama is proving himself to be the next in a dangerous line of Fascist controllers who will imprison his own military if need be to accomplish his goals set forth for him by the global Elite. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	When the Rule of Force Replaces the Rule of Law: The Emerging American Gulag SystemDave Hodges, Contributor America is witnessing the Sovietization of its legal system. The similarities are striking, undeniable and should prove frightening to all Americans. The Soviet Gulag System of Justice Consisted of Two Major Components The Emerging American Gulag System of Justice Consists of Two Major Components The Soviet Gulag System At the peak of the secret arrests in the 1930s, extreme fear and even paranoia were pervasive in Soviet cities. It was common knowledge that even intellectuals slept with suitcases of warm clothes and supplies ready under their beds. The Soviet Secret Police typically carried out their arrests in the middle of the night, when there would be few if any witnesses. The Soviet citizenry lived in terror of that they would hear the sound of that ominous knock on the door. Many of those arrested had their fate decided quickly at the hands of a an execution squad. Those, who initially survived the secret arrest, were transported to prison camps. Repression in the Soviet Union utilized prison camps for political prisoners under the rule of Lenin and then later Stalin. The Emerging American Gulag System Section 1021(b)(2) of the National Defense Authorization Act permits the government to use the military to detain U.S. citizens, strip them of due process and hold them indefinitely in military detention centers. Political prisoners could easily be tortured and executed because who would ever be in a position to report such a heinous crime by the state? These inexcusable transgressions against our Constitutional liberties, could have been easily fixed by Congress. The Senate and House had the opportunity during this past month to include in the 2013 version of the NDAA, an unequivocal statement that all U.S. citizens would be exempt from 1021(b)(2), leaving the section to apply only to foreigners. However, our criminal Congress and our criminal President remained silent to the pleas to reform the NDAA in order to conform to the Constitution. Indefinite detention, torture, and even unsanctioned murder are now legitimized practices of the United States government under Section 1021(b)(2) of the NDAA. America even has developed their own Soviet-style informant matrix in a plot hatched by the Director of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano. (Did anyone else notice what appeared to be chemtrails in the background of Napolitanos announcement of the government snitch program?) At the end of the day, the NDAA makes it likely that knocks on American doors followed by the implementation of Soviet-style justice is in our near future. Unfortunately, this is not where the parallels end. Consider the following for your approbation. Forced Labor In the Soviet Re-Education Camps One of the first Soviet forced labor camps was the Solovetsky Special Purpose Camp (SLON), known as Solovki. It was at this camp that the idea was hatched of expanding the prison system into a huge network. It was found that prisoners could be used for labor at practically no cost to the state because prisoners required no wages and only minimal expense for room and board. Prisoners could simply be forced to work until they dropped dead. The Gulag Camps rapidly spread across the Soviet Union in the 1930s. Administered by the NKVD, the Gulag became a state within a state, with its own laws, government and even its own economy, which some speculate may have been larger than the Soviet state. Camps were located in isolated areas, many in the vast expanses of Siberia, where the climate and the land were often fatal to the political prisoners over time. Most Soviet citizens who were sent to Siberia, never returned. The similarities between the old Soviet Gulags and the American prison system are stunning. Consider the following contained in a recent expose by Truthout, as an unidentified female prisoner at Arizonas state prison, at Perryville, described her day working as a laborer for a private company called Martori Farms. They wake us up between 2.30 and 3am and kick us out of our housing unit by 3.30am. We get fed at 4am. Our work supervisors show up between 5am and 8am. Then its an hour to a one-and-a-half-hour drive to the job site. Then we work eight hours, regardless of conditions We work in the fields hoeing weeds and thinning plants Currently, we are forced to work in the blazing sun for eight hours. We run out of water several times a day. We ran out of sunscreen several times a week. They dont check medical backgrounds or ages before they pull women for these jobs. Many of us cannot do it! If we stop working and sit on the bus or even just take an unauthorized break, we get a major ticket which takes away our good time. Welcome to the administration of justice, Gulag style. How this does not violate the 13th Amendments prohibition on slavery, is a mystery, or maybe it is not so mysterious, when one considers that the Bush family is at the center of privatizing prisons for profit. Conclusion Secret arrests, torture and even murder are now part of our legal system, but they are only a means to an end. The criminal elite must be planning something of monumental proportions to go to the lengths that we are witnessing under the auspices of the NDAA and accompanying gun control legislation. The NDAA is not about protecting us. It is about protecting the state from us. Perhaps we should all begin sleeping with suitcases of warm clothes and supplies under our collective beds.

2	3 Thugs That Attacked Veteran Tracked Down And Arrested In October of last year, a veteran living in an Illinois suburb east of St. Louis was attacked and assault by three men while stopped at a gas station. Months after the assault, all three thugs have been taken into police custody. The man was reportedly pumping gas at a Mobil station when he was approached and attacked by the group. They beat and kicked the veteran man until he was on the ground, and then proceeded to pour alcohol on him and run over him with his car. He was left for dead. The video is rough; its pretty graphic, Washington Park Police Chief Tony Tomlinson told reporters. This really hit home for us because the young man is a veteran. Its horrible to think that you could go fight for your country, raise your right hand and take the oath and say that you will fight for your country, and you come home and after fighting the enemies, come home to a gas station and get beat up. Its just tragic, Tomlinson concluded. Fortunately, the veteran man survived the attack and is currently in the process of recovering at home. The three men responsible for the assault have been charged with aggravated battery and mob action. They have been identified as Lamarcus Evans, Earl Agnew and Deon Sanders. When you commit any type of crime, we have to send a message out here that we are going to work together, Tomlinson added of the arrest. We worked with the East St. Louis Police Department, the state police, and Centerville to bring these gentlemen to justice. What do you think the punishment for these men should be? 
3	Threat of Job Loss Increases Compliance to Vaccines: StudyHeather Callaghan This is according to a Henry Ford Health System study, funded by Henry Ford Health System and citing the data from Henry Ford Health System. The upper echelon of Henry Ford, acting under their created task force, is attempting to pass off a duh! observation of authorities using power over subordinates as a true-blue health study. Yet, nowhere in the study is there any proof of reduction of disease or an increase in employee/patient health and safety. The achievement lies in complete subjugation a foregone conclusion when employers threaten career destruction, i.e.,Inject this into your body every year, or no more food on the table and no good reference for you! Henry Ford researchers say the health system achieved employee vaccination rates of 99 percent in the first two years of its mandatory policy, in which annual vaccination compliance is a condition of employment. Noreally? Nationally, 63 percent of health care workers were immunized against the flu in the past two years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Allison Weinmann, M.D., a Henry Ford Hospital Infectious Diseases physician and study co-author, says it was only after the health system went to the mandatory policy for the 2012-13 flu season did the vaccination rate substantially improve. Ongoing employee communication and having available vaccines were also key factors, Dr. Weinmann says. Lets get real: communication = order, similar to forced smoking cessation programs where communication equals emails and posters stating the deadline for employees to quit. The real key factor here is job security. The study is being presented Saturday at the 54th Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy in Washington D.C. Does this mean it will go on to influence wider-scale hospital policy? Speaking of which what do the employees think of this policy? We dont really get to hear from the ones still employed, but Dr. Weinmann, who leads the health systems immunization task force and was an early champion of the mandatory policy, says: As expected we got push-back from employees. But we always believed it was the right thing to do for patient and employee safety. The health and safety of our patients and employees is paramount, and requiring employees to receive vaccination every flu season will help reduce the spread of infection to our patients. We also were proactive in vaccinating hospitalized patients. [emphasis added] Noteworthy phrase: We believe and how proactive in vaccinating patients? More than 9,600 people were hospitalized for the flu during the 2013-14 flu season, and 60 percent of them were between the ages 18-64, the CDC says and recommends vaccination for anyone six months and older. Henry Ford used to require voluntary vaccination among employees. Between 2005 and 2010, its vaccination rate hovered between 41 percent and 55 percent, though the health systems goal was always 100 percent immunization. For those who originally balked at slippery slope arguments about the slide into mandatory vaccines to guarantee employment, heres how it happened in this particular case. For the 2010-11 flu season, Henry Ford made a shift in policy, requiring: Vaccination rates jumped to 84 percent and 87 percent between 2010-2012. For the 2012-13 flu season, Henry Ford revised its policy once more, this time requiring annual vaccination for all employees. The result was a 99 percent vaccination rate. The Detroit-based Henry Ford has more than 23,000 employees. An opt-out measure allows employees to decline vaccination for a medical or religious reason. These employees must complete a declination form, which requires their physician or religious leader to state the reason for forgoing vaccination and to sign their name. Are we to assume that they then are forced to wear a mask? Dr. Weinmann says the number of medical and religious declinations, coupled with employees who chose to leave their job in lieu of vaccination, accounted for less than 1 percent of its workforce. She says: Our success is attributed to three factors: Our commitment to patient and employee safety, aggressive employee communication and education and making sure we have enough vaccine to accommodate everyone. We couldnt have made the strides we did without all three working together. A big hurdle was addressing the myths associated with the vaccine itself and reassuring employees this was all safety driven. Aside from the gross violation of will and basic individual rights in demanding vaccinations in exchange for continued employment, the safety-driven intentions are either misguided or a deliberate deception. All arguments about ingredients and the right to exemption aside, consider this: The new study, published on Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, offers another explanation [for whooping cough spike]. Using baboons, the researchers found that recently vaccinated animals continued to carry the infection in their throats. Even though those baboons did not get sick from it, they spread the infection to others that were not vaccinated. (source: Melissa Melton reporting The New York Times) The mask opt-out is nothing more than a scarlet letter a ritual of humiliation that exhibits fear to patients. If the vaccinated employees are asymptomatic carriers of disease through the throat they actually pose the greatest risk to patients. Why does hospital administration not take employee concerns seriously? Many of whom are doctors and nurses. I highly recommend you read Vaccination Voodoo: What YOU Dont Know About Vaccines, especially for the mechanism of ingredients, lesser-known nuances and how flu vaccine strains are chosen. You can also see this lecture to see why flu vaccines are ineffective and unsafe, as well as information about mandatory vaccines already on the law books, waiting in the wings for potentially all Americans during a state of emergency. Arnold Hoekstra, the first Canadian healthcare worker fired for vaccine refusal explains why employees dontwant to wear masks for four months out of the year, besides the obvious reasons here and here. While he says here, that he can find another job in Canada, the same cannot be said for healthcare workers in the United States. From the report above, and Hoekstras experience, it is apparent that the corporatization and privatization of hospitals has something to do with getting away with the use of force and trampling employees rights. Dont be fooled by the not-for-profit status. In both cases, policies were dictated and carried out by a board of trustees. As you can see, it is increasingly more difficult to stand up for rights and principles in the face of impoverishment. The fact that this egregious propaganda and fear-based exercise in subjugation gets to parade in Washington as a successful health campaign is a syringe-shaped middle finger not only to human rights, but the rights of employees to carry out their jobs without sacrificing their conscience and their bodies to psychological bullying.

2	Bishop To Remove Crosses From Churches To Make Muslims More Comfortable According to recent reports, Eva Brunne, the worlds first openly lesbian bishop for the church of Sweden has made the suggestion to make those of other faiths more welcome in the church. Brunne has a young son with her wife, and fellow lesbian priest, Gunilla Linden. The church she has her eye on is the Seamens mission church in Stockholms eastern dockyards. The Bishop reportedly held a meeting this year, where she challenged the priest to explain what he would do if a ships crew came into the port and if they werent Christian but wanted to pray. Brunne then went on to claim that Muslims who visit the church are angels. She then took to her blog to propose that all Christian symbols should be removed for the church so that they could prepare the building for Muslim prayer. She argued that this doesnt make a priest any less of a defender of the faith. Father Patrik Pettersson, one of the priests in Brunnes diocese also took to his own blog to fire back at her proposal, arguing that there is absolutely no logic in equating a consecrated church with a prayer room. I should have thought a bishop would be able to tell the difference, he commented. What do you think of Brunnes proposal? 
3	Washingtons GMO food label initiative reportedly fails to pass 55-45%Rady Ananda Of nearly a million votes cast, only 445,730 reportedly voted for food labeling. Pundits are declaring that the $22 million spent by anti-labeling groups like Monsanto and the Grocery Manufacturers Assn. convinced voters that they do not want their foods labeled after all, despite recent polls showing that 95% of consumers do want GMO foods labeled. As long as votes are cast or counted electronically, instead of by hand, voters are forced to trust official results. Yet, dozens of scientific studies have proven that electronic casting and counting systems cannot be made secure, that results can be changed remotely, and that no evidence of the crime will remain for forensic investigators. Voting on machines, or machine counting of hand-marked ballots, violates the most basic component of free elections because the count is done in secret, inside a machine, rather than in full view of witnesses. But, as with the Patriot Act and other unconstitutional measures taken in the US since 9/11, most Americans accept these voting systems and continue to vote on them, accepting the results as accurate. Not all foodies favor forced labeling of GMO foods. Virginia farmer Joel Salatin, a prolific writer promoting sustainable farming, has reason to object to such food labeling. On Thursday, he will debate Dr. Joseph Mercola in Atlanta, GA on this very issue. The Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund is selling tickets so you can watch online the live-streamed debate tomorrow night. The measure failed in every county of Washington state, except two: King (Seattle) and San Juan (in the Salish Sea), officials are reporting. Heres the breakdown of Washingtons vote, as reported by My Northwest, as of 5:30 AM Pacific. County by County results HERE.

2	Christian Beheads Muslim Jihadi In Syria To Avenge The ISIS Killings According to reports, an Assyrian Christian fighter recently beheaded a member of ISIS in an attempt to avenge several killings by the group. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reports that the fighter was a member of a coalition of Kurdish and Christian forces that have been battling the terrorist group. He took him prisoner and when he found out he was a member of IS, the Assyrian fighter beheaded him in revenge for the abuses committed by the group n the region, Rami Abdel Rahman, chief of SOHR, told reporters. The coalition had also made progress pushing ISIS forces out of Syrian villages in the past few weeks, but ISIS was able to cause some major destruction before they left, blowing up a Christian church is Tal Nasri. 1,400 Christian families were forced to flee the area when ISIS took over, and have not been able to return yet or in the near future due to land mines. Most people are afraid to return because they fear that ISIS booby-trapped their houses before fleeing, Osama Edward, director of the Assyrian Human Rights Network, told Al Arabiya News. 
3	School-to-Prison Pipeline Complete New Law Makes Schoolyard Fights a FelonyBy Justin Gardner The Hazelwood School District put out a memo to parents and guardians stating that, according to Missouri statute, fights at school or on buses will be treated as felonies which can result in up to four years of prison, fines or probation. Dear Parents/Guardians: We want to make you aware of a few new State Statutes that will go into effect on January 1, 2017, which may have a drastic impact on how incidents are handled in area school districts. The way the new statue reads, if a person commits the offense of an assault in the third degree this will now be classified as a Class E Felony, rather than a misdemeanor. If he or she knowingly causes physical injury to another person (hits someone or has a fight with another individual and an injury occurs) one or both participants may be charged with a Felony. Gone are the days when teachers broke up fights and sent the kids home, calling the parents and perhaps suspending the kid if it was a serious incident. School Resource Officers or local cops now arrest the kids and, if there is any perceived injury (an arbitrary judgment), will charge them with third-degree assault treating children cooped up in school as if they are violent adults on the streets. What does this mean for students? For example, if two students are fighting and one child is injured, the student who caused the injury may be charged with a felony. Student(s) who are caught fighting in school, bus or on school grounds may now be charged with a felony (no matter the age or grade level), if this assault is witnessed by one of the School Resource Officers/police officers (SRO) or if the SRO/local law enforcement officials have to intervene. It doesnt stop there. Even attempts or threats to cause harm will be treated as a Class A misdemeanor, which can bring up to a year of prison time. If the assaulted person is considered a special victim, a Class D felony can be imposed which can mean up to seven years in prison. The Free Thought Project has reported on numerous examples of how public schools are increasingly relying on armed cops to carry out discipline, thereby criminalizing the age-old reality of children behaving badly. This has resulted in the increasingly prevalent phenomenon known as the school-to-prison pipeline. The Arizona State Law Journal found that over the last three decades, there has been a marked shift in public schools to using law enforcement instead of school administrators and teachers for students violating school rules. Approximately 260,000 students were referred to law enforcement during the 2011-2012 school year, and about 92,000 students were arrested on school property. Unsurprisingly, these numbers affect disadvantaged minority students the most. The Center for Public Integrity (CPI) documented disturbing examples of children being subjected to law enforcement, just as a shocking video emerged of a cop brutalizing a teenage girl in the classroom for misbehaving. Some police actions involve alarming physical altercations, with kids subdued and handcuffed. Others may be handled without much force. But law-enforcement involvement in school discipline has routinely resulted in kidssome as young as elementary school-agesummoned to court to answer charges that they committed crimes. Frequently, charges include battery or assault in connection with schoolyard fights or disorderly conduct or disturbing the peace at school issues that some believe should be handled by school officials, not cops. The worst state is Virginia, with a rate of 16 students per 1,000 being referred to law enforcement. One school had a shocking 228 students, most between 11 and 14, that were referred to cops. A 12-year-old girl was charged with obstruction of justice for clenching her fist at a cop. 11-year-old Kayleb Moon-Robinson, who is autistic, was slammed to the floor for walking out of class too early, and then was charged with felony assault on a police officer and disorderly conduct. Other shocking examples include five- and six-year-olds being handcuffed, arrested and booked into jail for throwing temper tantrums. Dress code violations, tardiness, and even passing gas have all led to students being referred to law enforcement. CPI describes how early exposure to law enforcement and the justice system has a devastating impact on the mental health of children, and makes it more likely they will grow up to live all or part of their lives behind bars. prosecuting kids in court for low-level accusations like disorderly conduct and battery is actually backfiring; kids become stigmatized, develop records and often disengage from school. The risk increases that theyll progress to more serious trouble, especially if core emotional or mental-health or learning problems go unresolved or inadequately treated. The Arizona State Law Journal confirmed that incarceration increases delinquency and future involvement in the justice system, and the official processing of a juvenile law violation may be the least effective means of rehabilitating juvenile offenders. No one should underestimate the negative consequences associated with incarcerating a juvenile, both to our society as a whole and to the youth themselves, which is the end result of the school-to-prison pipeline. Empirical research demonstrates that incarceration produces long-term detrimental effects on youth, including reinforcement of violent attitudes and behaviors; more limited educational, employment, military, and housing opportunities; an increased likelihood of not graduating from high school; mental health concerns; and increased future involvement in the criminal justice system. By enacting their draconian new rules, the state of Missouri is completely ignoring science, instead, falling back on uniformed state agents with badges and guns trained to confront the worst of society to deal with misbehaving kids in school. Missouri is ignoring the proven benefits of restorative justice. Thus, rather than excluding the student from the school community for misbehaving, which potentially can cause resentment, disrupt that students educational progress, and lead to recidivism and dropping out of school, one of the primary goals of restorative justice is to integrate the offender back into the school community as a productive member. In essence, restorative justice practices are conflict resolution tools that involve victims, offenders, and other members of the school community. Using formal and informal conferences, or circle groups, victims share with offenders how they have been harmed by the offenders behavior, offenders have opportunities to apologize to the victims, and, with the help of the victims and the other members of the school community, conference participants devise remedies for the harmful behavior. Instead of smart approaches like restorative justice, Missouri is set to plunge its children into a police state nightmare guaranteeing a long-term rise in prison population and further destroying the mental health of the most vulnerable individuals. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. The solution is to abolish school. That is the statement of the year! Check out John Talor Gatto on YouTube. (thumbs up ). We should separate school and state the same as we separate church and state. There is an adage that says that when you cant do, you teach. The corollary to that is that when you cant teach, you administrate. School administrators are about as low as it goes. This country is morally bust. People no longer realize the difference between right and wrong. There is everything wrong with this situation the article discusses, if true. How many states are doing this? With mandatory vaccination laws coming it will be even more important to home school. The schools have done a lousy job protecting vulnerable students fr decades and this is the end result If parents had not been raising a nation of snow flakes the past 40 years this would not be an issue. All that needs be done is return to saner times. When the hands of some children werent tied behind their back by government so that one single race of children will rule over them. Most importantly, give paddles back to teachers for minor infractions, and expulsion for uncontrollable delinquents. No cell phones at school, theres a phone in the office for emergencies. Cell phones at school are a ridiculous and unnecessary distraction. Zero tolerance for cursing, talking back and disobedience. And if a parent doesnt want their child taught to behave like a human being, they can home school them. Political correctness has ruined public schools and its high time good kids and teachers are no longer held hostage by undisciplined thugs and leaders. Animals should not be allowed in our schools. A few years back a black animal in a St. Louis school kept getting into trouble, our government forbids doing anything to them, so they just moved him from school to school. In his last school, he waited in the girls rest room during classes and a little white girl was excused to go to the restroom where he was hiding, he drowned her in the commode. He was sent to prison for this and he later killed his cell mate. This is what our children have to put up with in this liberal communist society. I had not heard about this case and did some research. I found that in 1995 a youth was convicted of the rape and murder of Christine Smetzer. The headline: Full inclusion student is convicted of murder. Thanks for pointing out that this problem has been going on far longer than i suspected. Its about time. All day every day in inner-city public schools there are attacks on students and faculty. Search Youtube. This is a reflection of piss poor parenting. Im sure the SJW types want to believe this is some evil plan to put more people in jail, but Im pretty sure the ones who made this decision would much rather have been able to avoid it. On the bright side, to some, the new rules will alleviate the incoming victims of the justice system of even more personal responsibility from bad decisions. instead, falling back on uniformed state agents with badges and guns trained to confront the worst of society Do just a couple hours research on the non-stop violence plaguing Americas school system and youll probably get it And I suppose this insane idea of allowing Boys who identify as girls and using the girls bathrooms is okay with you too? Its not just school to prison, but the de-masculinization of society we are witnessing. They want to cull the males and everything male about them. They will channel male aggression with Fantasy Football and extreme, fantasy sports on TV. If fighting is a crime, what about argument? Argument may lead to fighting. In fact, an argument is a fight its a verbal fight. Sometimes convictions arent expressed through easy words, and sometimes conviction will be defended though the arguments present appear to have destroyed the logic behind it. Thats how we live by our convictions. Therefore, the fight against fighting in school is nothing less than a further attempt to destroy individual conviction. If you cannot fight outright, perchance cannot even argue, then you have no way to defend your convictions. If they cannot be defended they will be destroyed or internalized, the latter causing internal struggle that may slow maturation, offering as an end result either a mature, right-thinking slave or an immature rebel. Either is a force easily met. Then its welcome to the technotronic era. Time to enjoy your virtual reality and real slavery. Peace! 
1	According to a newly released USA Today/Gallup poll, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's favorability has surged to 64 percent since he left the country Wednesday for a three-nation overseas trip. 'Once Gov. Romney was no longer within the borders of the United States and was instead many thousands of miles away from American voters, his popularity immediately spiked across almost all demographics,' said political analyst Mark Halperin, noting that the electorate has been invigorated by Romney's complete absence from campaign events, rallies, and town hall meetings. 'It seems that the farther away Romney travels, the more people like him. By the time his plane touches down in Israel, I wouldn't be surprised if his favorability rating isn't somewhere in the high 70s.' Experts were quick to note the number remains well below Romneys historical high of 89 percent, reached in February 2008 when the former Massachusetts governor announced his withdrawal from that year's presidential race.

And it doesnt include journalists, who showered their elitist agendas on television screens, in newsprint headlines and across cyberspace during the 17-month presidential campaign. In short, those posing as experts predicting the future blew it. And they blew it big league, both before and after the election. No question markets are going to tank all over the world, said top experts at Yahoo Finance, during online, streaming coverage election night. Stock markets instead went straight up for two days before modestly retreating. Yahoo was not alone with that post-election financial advice. True to form, every business reporter in town got it dead wrong. Curiously, not one dared repeat Trumps constant drumbeat to his supporters stay out of this dangerous stock market! Trumps politically-incorrect bond with his supporters was aptly captured by columnist Peggy Noonan. There was no state-of-the-art get-out-the-vote efforthis voters got themselves out. There was no high-class, high-tech identifying of supportersthey identified themselves. It somehow makes it more beautiful that few saw it coming. Donald Trumps victory in the face of pitifully wrong predictions is historic, but far from unique or unprecedented, despite what press and pundits would have you believe. The 1948 Chicago Daily Tribune headline Dewey Defeats Truman has been the poster child for 68 years for deplorable journalism and pathetic polling. Now, Newsweek has taken the Dumb Dumber Award for its cover sporting a smiling Hillary Clinton as Madam President. That issue was planned, printed and distributed days before the election. Quickly recalled, surviving copies are going for hundreds on eBay as collector items. Lesser known is the polling and reporting surrounding Louisianas 1956 gubernatorial election. Earl K. Long, brother to Huey Kingfish Long, was a corrupt but beloved rascal who once ushered a herd of farm animals onto the floor of the Louisiana legislature to make his point. His shameless dalliance with Bourbon Street stripper, Blaze Starr, was merely the highlight in a constant stream of public embarrassments, fancifully portrayed in the movie Blaze starring Paul Newman. Long was even committed to a Louisiana mental institution while in office. He escaped by firing the head of the hospital and hiring a new medical chief, who quickly certified Long as sane and fit for office. Uncle Earl won his third term in 1956 in an unexpected landslide. Portrayed as a backwoods hick by his silk-stocking opponents, with the press pounding him every day, he wiped them all out in the primary no runoff election was needed. No one saw that coming. The day before the election you couldnt find anybody who says he was voting for me, crowed Uncle Earl. And today, after my landslide, you cant find anybody who says he voted for me. The medias most astounding back flip comes from the New York Times, this nations supposed newspaper of record, decidedly pro-Clinton throughout the campaign, which headlined Clintons prospects of winning at 86% five days before the election. Publisher Arthur Sulzberger was cowed into publicly rededicating The Times to honest, unbiased reporting. One of Sulzbergers editors had publicly admonished him to change your focus from telling readers what and how to think to what readers actually think to stop pushing the limited agenda of your editors. One salient post-election observation comes from Craig Hemke of the TF Metals Report in a Money Metals podcast interview three days after the votes were counted. Predictions, says Hemke, are a fools errand people thinking that they know one day after Trump was elected whats going to happen now. The same experts who were dead wrong about Trump now think they know what happens next. So, what can we, at least, strongly expect? On the economic front, Donald Trump has promised individual and corporate tax cuts, accelerated energy development, and new infrastructure spending, all meant to grow jobs. His promise to rebuild the military will hike government spending and may be offset by reducing overseas commitments. but his solemn promise to repeal Obamacare has already been walked back to parts of Obamacare. Ditto the walk back from his signature severe immigration restrictions. Make no mistake Donald Trump is not a small-government guy. Never was and may never be. Based on his preference for smart trade over free trade, we may see smarter government, but it wont be smaller government. Trump was one of the few candidates to hint at being a champion of gold, saying how great a gold standard would be. He has top advisers who favor a refreshed and modern look at gold in the monetary picture. But sound money advocates should not leave designing their own personal gold standard to others. Neither government nor media has been a friend to sound money for some 80 years now. In fact, anyone ever doubting the wisdom of his own course should now be convinced never to leave critical analysis to dead-wrong government, to dead-wrong journalism, or to dead-wrong pollsters. Sound money advocates should look to what they know protects wealth. Five thousand years of gold and silver are winners, no matter who is preparing to get into the White House, or who is scheming to get out of the nut house. MoneyMetals.com columnist Guy Christopher is a seasoned writer living on the Gulf Coast. A retired investigative journalist, published author, and former stockbroker, Christopher has taught college as an adjunct professor and is a veteran of the 101st Airborne in Vietnam. my speculation The pollsters knew damn good and well Trump was going to win. The powers that will soon not be will pull the plug on the global economy, blame it on Trump supporters, Brexit etc.. and present their savior to implement their solutions. Yes. Any recommendations? If this should happen and the global savior/dictator outlaws cash and forces people to get a chip implant or something that you cant buy nor sell without. I recommend civil disobedience, this will be the long foretold mark of the beast. In fact, anyone ever doubting the wisdom of his own course should now be Amen to that. Silver and gold are real money; Ill stick with them, at least for these uncertain times. Metals as Money is a trap for those who dont understand Money ! Now, Newsweek has taken the Dumb Dumber Award for its cover sporting a smiling Hillary Clinton as Madam President. That issue was planned, printed and distributed days before the election. Another gem found in this article: What with the pimping of gold? Sounds more and more like a Glenn Beck special. I used to promote this site on my blog roll but after this post, I think that honeymoon is over. .Trump was one of the few candidates to hint at being a champion of gold. Which could be great news FOR the BANKSTERS ! They always loved Gold because they can manipulate the price easily. A lot of people who consider themselves Libertarians think gold backed money is true to their politics. Commodity backed money would be a good thing, but giving our moneys franchise to a single industry is about as unlibertarian an act as possible. So long as we are going for legal, government money, a much fairer choice would be an index of many commodities. Its called the Chicago Plan and the American Monetary Inst promotes it. Just remember: polls are a propaganda tool used to mold public perception that work with incredible and effective ease, always have been, and always will be. If they are not boldfaced lies, polls might as well be. Gold backed currency is the opposite of the cashless world the bankers want so badly they can taste it. Without gold or silver backing, all they have to do is print paper and add cashless zero digits into computers to steal wealth from the public with inflation, like they did for the last hundred years, all over again. In the cashless way they can seize ALL your wealth by errors that cant be corrected for whatever they make up, like hacking. And then..its gone! Never believe that a cashless society will benefit any one but Wall Street Bankers and the overpaid corporation gangsters who like to sell us poisoned food, and eliminate jobs so we cant even afford to buy it, without 2 members of the household working full-time as slaves! The good news is that we are beginning to realize these things need to change. Recognize and discern when you need to connect the dots for yourself. Those nuggets of truth in the media are worth a dozen deceptions apiece, if you can make them out! Question everything. Historically, gold and fractional reserve banking never stopped panic creation of over supply-retraction-profit program of central banking. The new US found out, just as Spain, Portugal, France, Netherlands Its been a global economy since the 1600s, with entire empires failing due to debt to private cartel owned creation of money and credit. Bring back JFKs e/o 11110, silver certificates. Money supply needs to be adjusted as per growth and inflation. Wrong to tie it to a commodity like gold/silver 
2	Liberals Outraged After Donald Trump Says THIS, They Want His Head Once again, presidential hopeful Donald Trump has sparked outrage among liberals. This time, he is under fire for failing to denounce claims that President Obama is not an American-born Christian. The debate started when one man in the audience stood up and said: We have a problem in this country. Its called Muslims. We know our current president is one. You know hes not even an American. Birth certificate, man. We need this question, Trump interjected. This is the first question. But, anyways, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us, the man in the audience continued. Thats my question: When can we get rid of them? Were going to be looking at a lot of different things and, you know, a lot of people are saying that, Trump responded. Were going to be looking at that and plenty of other things. Trump quickly was criticized for failing to challenge the mans comments. Following the event, Trump responded to these criticisms. Christians need support in this country, his team said. Their religious liberty is at stake To be clear, Mr. Trumps response to the question regarding training camps in this country was we will look into it. Of course, Hillary was quick to add to the fire, tweeting: Donald Trump not denouncing false statements about POTUS and hateful rhetoric about Muslims in disturbing and just plain wrong. Cut it out. Others bashed Trump, calling him a racist. What do you think? Was Trumps response out of line or was he simply being honest? 
3	Pathetic Media Outraged Over Obama Golf Secrecy, But Not Drone AssassinationsYoutube TYT 
1	ERIE, PALocal resident and frequent fast-food-restaurant patron Don Turnbee said Monday that he was 'still a little leery' of the wrap he'd ordered from the Jefferson Street Subway sandwich shop minutes before. Turnbee and the wrap he is 'not so sure about.' 'I'm not sure about this thing,' Turnbee said, eyeing the Chicken Bacon Ranch wrap sitting on his tray beside a bag of chips and a large soda. 'I mean, I'm gonna try it, but I don't understand this whole tortilla fad. What's wrong with bread?' Turnbee acknowledged that he probably wouldn't have sampled the wrap without the 20-percent-off coupon he found in a newspaper insert, but added that he isn't averse to trying 'new and unusual foods.' In fact, the Erie native reports that he ordered a McDonald's Big N' Tasty Burger only days after learning about the sandwich on television. 'This wrap can't be all that bad,' Turnbee said, poking at the item's paper exterior. 'If I don't like it, at least I'll know I didn't pay full price.' Although Turnbee said he likes all the ingredients inside of his wrap, especially bacon, he said he was skeptical of 'the whole idea of wrapping.' 'I almost got the Turkey Bacon Melt, but that Chipotle Southwest Sauce scared me off,' Turnbee said. 'But this one seems like it'll be all right. What's the big deal, right? I guess I'll know in a couple bites.' Turnbee said he was thankful that Subway displayed a detailed list of ingredients near the serving line, allowing him to make an informed choice. He said his worries that he might accidentally get a wrap with 'fancy' ingredients, such as sun-dried tomatoes, have stopped him from ordering wraps in the past. 'Some places don't tell you what's inside of the wrap,' Turnbee said. 'They cut it in half and make you guess from the colors. Some of these new types of sandwiches have a lot of weird stuff in them. I'd rather know what I'm eating.' In addition to his fear of unfamiliar ingredients, Turnbee said he is 'uneasy with wraps,' because he associates them with salads. 'My wife Shelly wants me to eat more salads,' Turnbee said. 'I try to eat one once a week. But I don't want to halfway eat a salad by eating a salad wrapped up in a tortilla.' 'Not that Shelly ever told me to eat a wrap,' Turnbee added. 'I bet she doesn't even know what a wrap is. She doesn't dine out as frequently as I do.' Turnbee said he is pretty sure that wraps have something to do with the Atkins diet craze. 'Half the places I go offer some low-carb or Atkins thing,' Turnbee said. 'I ignore all that crazy business. At most of the places I go, I can still get one of the old standbys: a burger, a roast beef sandwich, or a ham and cheese sub. I do have some trouble when we go up to Canada to visit Shelly's sister. The restaurants are all different up there.' Although Turnbee acknowledged that he enjoys tortilla-based food items at restaurants such as Taco Bell, he said he doesn't understand why people want 'regular sandwich fillings inside of Mexican food.' 'That might be okay for the people in California, but I can't see myself getting too into them,' Turnbee said. 'They seem kind of flimsy. I like food you can grip with both hands, something like a Double Whopper with cheese.' In spite of Turnbee's reservations, sources close to him expect him to enjoy the wrap that he is about to eat. 'I'll bet Don likes it,' Shelly Turnbee said. 'I've never seen him not like anything with chicken and bacon in it. He's just wary of new things, especially if they seem gourmet. It's like when restaurants started switching from iceberg to romaine lettuce. He complained for a while, but he got used to it.' 
3	Brexit, and Goals and Ops of the Deep StateBy Jon Rappoport Speaking of money making money, the hysterical aftershocks in trading markets, right after the Brexit victory was projected, are all synthetic and artificial manipulations, laid on to prove a point: see what happens when a country defects from the New Order? Meanwhile, the people who had real jobs yesterday still have them today. Life goes on. Britain will still be able to engage in trade with other countries, despite Obamas warning that theyll have to stand in the back of the line to make deals with the US. Nonsense. Blather. Obama is failing in his job as front man for Rockefeller Globalists. If he cant get Senate ratification on the TPP and the TTIP deals now, hell be the CFRs failure of the decade. Hillary, who came out against Brexit, is looking like a clown with egg on her face. Sowhat is Britain leaving when it leaves the EU? Its departing a giant robot, a structure of untold numbers of sub-androids, bureaucrats who have been making life miserable for Europe. Higher debt, unlimited migration, blizzards of regulations, grim political correctness. All in the service of a coming utopia, of course. The real job of the EU is dehumanizing people, for the sake of humanity. Thats how faceless robot-bureaucrats operate. The EU is an illusion of authority, in the sense that it pretends to be in exclusive possession of knowledge that will make life better for all of Europe. The EU built itself as a machine, a structure so maze-like, so complex that it must be valuable. It resembles a super-computer. We have trillions of pieces of vital data. We can plan the future more competently than any smaller entity. Leave the details to us. The EU is in all these ways a copy of the Deep Global State, of which it is a part. And now we come to the second section of this article, which I wrote first, as I was becoming aware of the result of the Brexit vote. Consider it background. The Deep State has, of course, not gone away. A much greater degree of dismantling is necessary. Technocracy itself has to be understood and defeated, because it is the leading edge of the new Globalist society The State is now involved in making people into robots and robots into people. Behind all the technological promises and heraldry, this is whats happening. People are already beginning to feel a fierce unshakable loyalty to machinesand a religious adoration. Up the road, robots will be wise counselors and guides and priests. This is civilizations version of magic. Technocracy and theocracy are the same op. They are rule by fictional figures. And the knowledge supposedly possessed by these figures doesnt exist. Whether a person or a machine can dispense three pieces of information or three trillion, and whether the dispensing takes a year or a microsecond, the authority surrounding the dispensing is window dressing. It doesnt have any inherent power. Its laid on in the same way a movie set is built (or a green screen is deployed) to confer authenticity. The following two statements are remarkably similar: the Pope is infallible; super-computer XYZ is infallible. The latter statement is a modern substitution for the former. It wouldnt be a great surprise, at some point, to witness the election of a Pope that is a computer. The College of Cardinals might discuss whether to present him as a robot wearing the official costume of office. They might even decide this robot should ride in the Bubble Mobile with its protections, to avoid damage. Vatican technicians would assure the Pope uttered, from time to time, humanitarian messages in a credibly human voice. On the other side of the op, as humans are fitted into tighter slots in the New Planetary Order, they would, more and more, resemble machines in thought and action. Losing their individuality, through sacrifice for the greater good, they would naturally seek out signs and signals of what they no longer hadand they would find those human traits in robot-computers, which would be built with great care to deliver an imitation of life. Sit a very young child down in front of a crude robot called a television set, and show her an animated cartoon of Cinderella dancing in the hall of a great palace, and the child experiences trance-like ecstasy. Why, up the road, wouldnt a sufficiently mechanized adult find the same joy, viewing an animated hologram of a remarkably convincing robot that hands out ideological imperatives on the oneness of all creatures on Earth? On the subject of taking individuality from humans and placing it into robots: Every one of our androids is different. Our company believes in imbuing each of our messengers with a unique set of characteristics. This isnt a sales technique. Were dedicated to the mission of diversity. Personality isnt something to be buried under a surface of sameness and conformity. It should be front and center. After all, our robots are conscious. They arent, but who pauses to notice? Wave after wave of fictional propaganda is launched to make the case that machines are alive. The major target of the campaign is the educated class. It is now an established fact that evolution took place through higher and higher orders of information-processing functions. Indeed, the complexity of processing is the definition of consciousness. Gibberish. In this technological and pragmatic civilization, many humans already consider themselves, first and foremost, problem solvers. However, recognizing their skills are lacking, especially when it comes to personal issues, people are more than willing to surrender the job to machines. Computers will provide undeniable answers and advice. Of course, to make this system work, the problems and the people will have to be reduced down to manageable proportionsflattened, short-circuited, cartoon-ized. People will need to see themselves as biological machines with only a handful of basic needs. And some historian will one day write: Humans were operating on flawed self-destructive programs. The best of them realized this. And so, out of need and desperation, they invented machines that could guide them and work around those errors. This was the patch that was laid on, until we could precisely identify both the programs and the flaws, flush them out of the system, and install new software in the brain. This is the future. Unless individuals, with the power they actually do have, reclaim what is theirs, and dump the whole ridiculous apparatus. The EUthat machineis one small part of the whole op. It is a machine, whose purpose is turning humans into robots and robots into humans. Thats the bottom line of highly centralized authority in the modern age. Coda: warning: the BBC is reporting that the British Parliament must ratify the referendum result. And the UK withdrawal from the EU will take place within two years. Its a withdrawal negotiated between the British government and the EU. So various conditions and side-deals could be slipped into the equation.

2	Comey: Hillarys FBI Testimony Wasnt Under Oath Or Recorded, But... During testimony before Congress on Thursday, FBI Director James Comey confirmed that the FBIs interview with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was not under oath or recorded. Still, he insisted it would be a crime to lie to the FBI. Comey stated that he did not interview Clinton personally, nor did he talk to all of the five or six who did interview her. When he was asked if Clinton testified or talked to them under oath, Comey simply answered, No. Its still a crime to lie to us, he added. Finally, when Comey asked if there was a transcript of the interview, he confirmed there wasnt one because the interview had not been recorded. Instead, there was only an analysis of Clintons interview. 
1	COLUMBIA, SCMayor of Myrtle Beach and Republican Senate hopeful Mark McBride jumped ahead in the polls Monday after announcing his new low-carbohydrate political platform. McBride describes his low-carb agenda to a group of supporters. 'The people of South Carolina have allowed starchy politics to become a staple in their diets,' McBride said, addressing a crowd of supporters at a capitol-area convention center. 'You are what you vote for, and when you vote for McBride, you're telling Washington that you want a leader with meaty ideas. You're telling them you aren't going to swallow any more sugar-coated lies.' Having failed to capture voter interest with his previous platform of lower taxes, increased support for job programs, and tort reform, McBride decided a low-carb message was more likely to resonate with voters. 'Americans have asked for a leaner government, and they've been handed bread and circuses,' McBride said. 'What we have now is a lethargic ruling body, willing to down anything that special-interest groups spoon-feed them. I'm gonna put an end to that. A vote for me is a vote for this country's long-term health.' South Carolina voters have responded enthusiastically to McBride's low-carb initiative, boosting the candidate as many as 11 points in recent polls. 'I'm on Atkins, so I always keep my eye out for new low-carb choices,' Pauline Illford said, holding a campaign flyer that read 'McBride: Great for Atkins dieters!' 'I used to see McBride as just another white-bread politician from South Carolina. But his new campaign has really got me energized. Compared to him, all the other candidates seem really bland or hard to follow.' McBride said that, if elected, he'll push Congress to 'cut the excess weight that's dragging the U.S. budget down.' 'Take one look at the fat cats living large off your taxes, and you'll agree that the old way wasn't working,' McBride said. 'If you send me to Washington, you'll get quick results. You'll see a noticeable change within weeks. The first day I'm sworn into office, you'll notice a leaner, healthier government.' McBride declined to give specifics about which policies he'll vote for, but he did hand reporters coupons for the steak-and-shrimp dinner at his restaurant, Crabman's Seafood and Country Buffet. 'As mayor of Myrtle Beach and owner of a popular local restaurant, I've learned a thing or two,' said McBride, who changed his restaurant's menu to reflect his low-carb program last year. 'I've been listening to the people of this great state, and the majority of them want to know one thing: Do you have anything low-carb?' 'I know what's good for South Carolina, as my public-service record and the success of my restaurant clearly prove,' McBride said, before taking a bite of a salmon steak wrapped in romaine lettuce. Democrat Inez Tenenbaum, the race's former frontrunner, has yet to comment on her opponent's platform. Despite the popularity of the low-carb campaign, Tenenbaum has chosen to stick to her original goals of job creation, affordable healthcare, and increased national security. 'Tenenbaum isn't running a quick-and-easy fad campaign,' said Jack Rissol, a reporter from the Charleston Post And Courier. 'She's going the long route, hoping constituents come back around to the idea that the only way to get long-term change in government is to consume a balanced array of fresh ideas and regularly exercise one's right to vote.' 'On the other hand, there's plenty of evidence that McBride's new platform is working,' Rissol added. 'I thought it sounded crazy at first, too, and that there was no way a platform like that could possibly work. But there's no denying it: McBride looks great in those polls.' 
3	Chemical Contamination Leaves 100,000 Alabama Residents Without Drinking WaterBy Joshua Krause Case in point, the West Morgan-East Lawrence Water Authority in Alabama just advised 100,000 of their customers to stop using their tap water for drinking or cooking. According to the general manager of the Water Authority, who spoke at a press conference on Friday, I recommend that all our customers do not drink our water, until we are able to bring the temporary system our engineer is designing online. That includes water that has been boiled or cleaned with Brita-style filters, neither of which can remove the contaminants. The chemicals in question are known as perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoic acid, which are known to cause cancer, thyroid damage, birth defects, and developmental problems in children. The chemicals are typically used in the manufacture of non-stick cookware, waterproof clothes, and carpet sealants. Its believed that they were discharged into the Tennessee River by companies like 3M, a claim which the vice president of the company says is overblown. Although we support the work of the EPA and other regulators, we believe these advisory levels are overly conservativeWe believe that PFOS and PFOA do not present health risks at levels they are typically found in the environment or in human blood. In any case, the West Morgan-East Lawrence Water Authority has said that their advisory will remain in place until September. Theyve also admitted that they have no means to provide bottled water for its customers in the interim. 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. Fears overblown? Such as, We didnt dump ten million gallons of toxic waste. It was only three! Support the work(?) of the EPA what a hoot check out the Animas river they destroyed in Colorado. 
2	BREAKING: Network Makes Major Announcement About The Future Of Megyn Kelly In The Middle Of Trump Scandal Following the Republican debate, Megyn Kelly has desperately trying to save face, as critics accuse her of going after Donald Trump in order to save her own career. Now, thousands of Americans have gone one step further and signed a petition demanding that Kelly be banned from ever hosting another debate, deeming her behavior unprofessional. To make matters worse, Trump has started pushing back on Kelly himself. In fact, the only one that seems to be standing up for Kelly is Roger Ailes, head of Fox. Listen, Megyn is so good today that there is no interview I would not want her to do, Ailes told reporters. He went on to add that Kelly will have a series of primetime specials that will be airing on Fox at the beginning of next year. What do you think? Do you support Kelly or did she take things way too far during the GOP debate? 
1	In spite of winning an $18-million Powerball jackpot in 1998, William Berringer, 39, insisted on returning to his line-cook job at Nelson's Steak House Tuesday. 'Winning all that money didn't change me,' Berringer said. 'I'm still the same Bill Berringer that I was before I hit the jackpot, then proceeded to spend it all on partying, bad stocks, and a Jamaican condominium.' Berringer added that he hopes everyone at work will treat him the same way they always did, or at least the ones who were there when he quit his job the day after he won the jackpot. 
2	Oprah: If You Hate Obama You Are Racist, If Youre Racist You Must Die Once again, Oprah Winfrey is at the center of hypocrisy and controversy. During a BBC interview, she was recorded making a series of extraordinarily racially-charged statements, which have since received criticism. When asked by BBCs Will Gompertz whether Winfrey believed racism was a contemporary issue, she responded, Its gotten better. Are there still places where people are terrorized because of the color of their skin, because of the color of their black skin? Yes. But there are laws that have allowed us to progress beyong what we saw in the Scottsboro [case] and beyond even the prejudice we see in The Butler. To follow up on the matter, Gompertz asked Oprah whether she believed the problem of racism had been solved. Of course, the problem is not solved, Oprah responded matter-of-factly, As long as there are people who still, theres a whole generationI say this, you know, I said this, you know, for apartheid South African, I said this for my own, you know, community in the Souththere are generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism, and they just have to die. What do you think of Oprahs extraordinarily harsh comments? 
2	BREAKING: Sharia Law To Be Banned In THIS State... Muslims Are FURIOUS North Carolina has just taken a massive step to ensure that the U.S. Constitution and the constitution of the state stay the only law applied in courts, taking preemptive measures to block any foreign laws from entering the courtroom. Recently, the state passed a controversial measure designed to keep Sharia law from being applied to things like family law cases. Similar laws have been passed in Arizona, Kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Tennessee. Ultimately, a federal judge in Oklahoma ruled the law unconstitutional because it discriminated against a particular interest. The authors of the North Carolina bill plan to avoid that problem by ensuring the language of the bill applies to all foreign laws, not specifically Sharia. There have been more than 50 cases in 23 states in which judges have applied foreign law, depriving people of their constitutional rights, The Christian Action League commented in support of the bill. Often women and children wind up the victims when Sharia law is applied. Under the law based on the Quran and the Sunna, the teachings and writings of Mohammed, there is no age requirement for a girl to marry, and acts of adultery or prostitution can lead to sentences of death. Many Sharia law problems in the United States involve cases of women being beaten by their Muslim husbands and judges ruling that because the men were not accustomed to U.S. laws against spousal abuse, they cannot be convicted. Of course, the Council on American-Islamic Relations was not happy about the proposal, and urged the government to veto it. The email claims that the bill is a thinly-veiled attack on the states Muslim population, that only serves to marginalize Muslims and to deny them equal rights and equal access to the courts enjoyed by other religious groups. What do you think? Is protecting our countrys laws completely justified? Do you support North Carolina? 
3	Leaked Memos Suggest U.S. Would Torpedo Peace Plan if Colombia Challenges Big Pharma MonopolyBy Justin Gardner The controversy centers around a leukemia drug called Gleevec, made by Swiss-based Novartis. Prices have increased 10 percent or more every year, causing heavy strain on health care systems in middle-income countries such as Colombia. Novartis, which made $4.7 billion from Gleevec last year, has enjoyed a patent monopoly on the drug for ten years. The patent ended on February 1 in the U.S., but will remain in Colombia until 2018. While a generic version of the life-saving drug already promises to bring prices down in the U.S., Colombia is held hostage by the continuing foreign-based monopoly. The Colombian government announced that it will give Novartis a few weeks to lower the price on Gleevec before it uses compulsory licenses to let companies make generic versions. It proposed a price reduction of less than half the current regulated price, which is still much higher than what generic versions cost. Novartis refused, instead turning to its friends in the U.S. government. Leaked diplomatic letters sent from Colombias Embassy in Washington describe how a staffer with the Senate Finance Committee, which is led by Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, warned of repercussions if Colombia moves forward on approving the cheaper, generic form of a cancer drug In particular, Flrez expressed a worry that this case could jeopardize the approval of the financing of the new initiative Peace Colombia. The initiative could end decades of bloody fighting and aid in efforts to remove land mines in Colombia, which is second only to Afghanistan in land mine fatalities. U.S. lawmakers have no problem breaking patents when it serves their interest, such as the compulsory licensing granted for night vision goggles, most likely to benefit the surveillance state. But when its a matter of life and death in other countries struggling with health care costs, these politicians will show their allegiance to the corporatocracy. As the leaked memos show, American politicians would even abandon the cause of making peace. Naturally, a spokesperson for Sen. Orrin Hatch feigned ignorance, pretending that they cant possibly have any influence over the Peace Colombia initiative. According to Julia Lawless, the Senate Finance Committee has no jurisdiction over the Paz Colombia initiative and it was not discussed. The suggestion that Hatch and his cohorts would not do the bidding of Novartis is absurd, considering the ties to Big Pharmaas reported by the Intercept. Hatch has close ties to the pharmaceutical industry. Pharmaceutical and health product manufacturers form the second-largest pool of donors to his campaigns. The industrys main trade association, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, spent $750,000 funding an outside nonprofit that backed Hatchs re-election in 2012. The lobbying group also employed Scott Hatch, one of the senators sons, as a lobbyist, while donating to his family charity, the Utah Families Foundation. According to Public Citizen, about a dozen countries have used compulsory licenses, mostly for HIV and cancer treatments. Novartis and its allies in Congress are worried that Colombia might set a precedent for others to challenge patent monopolies. The pressure against Colombia is bogus but its real, said Andrew Goldman, a counsel for Knowledge Ecology International, the Washington-based group that first obtained the embassy memos. We always assume that this kind of intervention is happening behind the scenes but rarely do you get the chance to see it up close. While everyone has a right to profit from their original product, using the power of the State to preserve a monopoly allows corporations to act outside of market forces and charge extraordinary prices, with poorer regions suffering the most. This collusion also lends to the broken system of politics that characterizes Washington, where the thirst for money and power has rendered voting meaningless. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. lt will only be a matter of time when all GMO PRODUCTS, be known as poison around the world. GMO combined with Big Pharma spreading disease to all. The initiative could end decades of bloody fighting and aid in efforts to remove land mines in Colombia, which is second only to Afghanistan in land mine fatalities. uh, there is a second story here. Why in Gods name are we entering a Peace Initiative with Columbia? Did we go to war with them when I was sleeping? Do you really need any more evidence as to just how corrupt and venal members of Congress are? This current matter is just a drop in the bucket of disgusting Congressional behaviour. Ty Bollinger with his The Truth About Cancer Team, made extremely important series of documentaries, with the same title, which show how to heal the cancer, naturally, without toxic chemicals or radiation. There is also a history of how chemo-drugs developed, starting with the war byproducts. There is nothing more detrimental, than putting oneself into hands of an oncologist or any medical doctor, who are not educated about nutrition, digestion, natural methods of healing. With that simple knowledge, about supplementation, vitamins, minerals, raw green veggies, probiotics and enzymes, essential oils and electromagnetic devises, Gleevac Have you noticed . . . .Any one can say any bullshit about any nation or ethnic group but if you mention something about the fkng *b*o*l*s*h*e*v*i*k*s in your comment then you get moderated and most likely get your comment deleted by either selfnews Post or Discus. WTF is going on and who controls the fkng narrative so Intensely? Thank you A.P for re-publishing my comment and apologies for my irritated rant. The Germans were obliterated in WW2 but the very competent German scientific community was actually captured and they really had no other options but to go along to these laboratories of iniquity. About usual for Big Pharma. That lobby also affects medical care. For example, medical practitioners are unwilling to regularly prescribe mild sedatives based on benzodiazepines since the campaign by Big Pharma to discredit them when the patents expired, promoting instead the more expensive and dangerous antidpressants such as the MOAs. 
3	Turnkey TyrannyJoe Giambrone they are intent on making every conversation and every form of behavior in the world known to them. Edward Snowden (2013) The genius of the American political system is that each administration is significantly worse than the one that preceded it. The effect is historical revisionism in the public mind. Nixon looks downright cuddly next to the abuses of Cheney/Rummy/Bush and company. Now Bush Jr. is starting to look like a civil libertarian when compared to the current Snoopmeister In Chief. As we plummet toward official Satanism, with a state unrecognizable and patently evil at its core, we can at least cling to the notion that things werent as bad as now in some past golden age. Then we can look around and fight amongst each other, assigning blame to the nearest uninformed yahoo, rather than to the high priests of human sacrifice and global misery and destruction. We now have an utterly exposed fraud of a system unrecognizable as a democracy, but clearly within parameters of what George Orwell conjured up and Hitler before him. A series of disclosures comes regularly from defective cogs, little technocratic machine parts, which no longer spin as directed. Edward Snowdens classified leaks are the icing on top of a shit pile so towering as to be visible from orbit. As Snowden warned, the greatest danger to our freedom and way of life comes from the reasonable fear of omniscient State powers kept in check by nothing more than policy documents. That is the modus operandi. Secret memos have replaced debate, law and Constitutionality. If I wanted to see your e-mails or your wifes phone, all I have to do is use intercepts. I can get your e-mails, passwords, phone records, credit cards. Whistleblower Edward Snowden Someone, somewhere in a uniform adorned with various gaudy medals, might ask why some off-the-street computer punk could get hired to wiretap his entire life, and with what oversight or legality? If said punk decides to wiretap high-ranking military officers, what then? And the President of the United States? And federal judges? What sort of Frankensteins worst nightmare has the National Security Agency concocted over there, and in what possible ways do such gaping security holes constitute national security? This is quite the opposite, in fact, a national insecurity on a scale unprecedented in all of human history. Thanks for letting us know, Snowden, but, youre still enemy number one to be silenced. Like Manning, and Assange, Kiriakou, Binney and Sibel Edmonds. Youre not supposed to tell the public. You see, the US government considers the public a hostile force to be propagandized, controlled, manipulated, kept ignorant, persuaded, sold, taxed, recruited or locked up. This is the triumph of western democracy. Not a lot is new here, but the naked illegitimacy of the office of the president is a welcome development indeed. As the buck stops in the Oval Office, perhaps we can begin there with handcuffs and actual warrants for arrest that respect the 4th, 5th and 6th Amendment rights of Mr. Obama and company. I am not a crook! said a former crook. But today, the very notion that the president is a crook has been defined out of existence as a conspiracy theory the wild, insane ravings of the lizard cult people awaiting the mother ship. For it is quite impossible for the president, or anyone else in government, to conspire to break the law. Such a thing goes against the divine. A religious aura surrounds the hallowed grounds of the White House, a place so sacred as to be beyond the worldly temptations of normal mortals. As no US government official is currently capable of breaking the law, the tin foil adorned crowd must simply be shunned and silenced, ridiculed into irrelevance. Impeachment is another quaint anachronism. After all, there was no blowjob. No one lied about semen. Bodily fluids were not spilled. This is simply a policy disagreement. Policy is, in the end, whatever the government decides to have typed up in a memo. This memos relevance to the law and to the rights of the citizens has been engineered completely into irrelevance. Memo trumps Constitution. Ask Dianne Feinsetin. They have a program and the program is approved by them so whats the problem? The lunatic conspiracist and enemy of the state Edward Snowden claims, The government has granted itself power it is not entitled to. There is no public oversight. The result is people like myself have the latitude to go further than they are allowed to. Well what does he know, really? I cant in good conscience allow the US government to destroy privacy, internet freedom and basic liberties for people around the world with this massive surveillance machine theyre secretly building. Edward Snowden Senator Mike Rogers disagrees. End of story. End of investigation of the NSA not of Snowden of course. Can some rogue leaker take down the illegitimate surveillance state? Doubtful. Have the people awoken? Remains to be seen. Can they do anything about it? Will they? Will they be asleep again by Sweeps Week? A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves. Edward R. Murrow Let me ask you, couch potato man, how many more Edward Snowdens will throw away their careers, their life savings and flee for the rest of their lives in order to save your sorry freedom that you dont even value yourself? Why should they? Are you worth it? Are you even on the right side of history? Ignorance, in the hyper-information age, is rather pathetic, dont you think? The world of knowledge is at everyones fingertips, often 24/7, and yet they actively choose to know very little. They wallow in trivialities and banalities choosing ignorance 9 times out of 10. How long can such a people remain free? Should they? I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded. That is not something I am willing to support or live under. Edward Snowden Beer, Breasts and Cat Videos, that new reality show debuts at 9 pm.

1	In a move Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali is hailing as a major step forward for democracy in Africa, the United Nations announced Monday that Sudans repressive President, General Kolimba Djimasta, has agreed to install a suggestion box outside the gates of his 10,000-acre mansion. We care about the quality of your stay here in Sudan, Djimasta said. Thats why I want you to rate your satisfaction with my kingdom: Was your torturer friendly? Was your village burned to the ground in a friendly and convenient manner? Would you like to see more or less testicular torture? Would you like to be killed at this time? Under the Khartoum Accord, the suggestion box will be placed on one of the two imported marble gates in front of Djimastas mansion. For those who dont have a pencil handy, one will be provided. As an added incentive to get people to fill out comment cards, the first 50 people to do so will not be brutally murdered. Weve really gotten some very good, very valuable feedback, Djimasta said. The only downside is the occasional comment card thats soaked with blood. Those can be difficult to read. Among the comments Djimasta has already received: Please do not send your elite military police to kill me; Please do not dispatch your secret military squad to murder me and my family; and Your Grand Excellence, I beg of you, I am innocentplease do not kill me. The comment cards also contain a space to write your name and address, so Djimasta can personally reply to those who are dissatisfied. Djimasta, who took the reins of power in a violent coup dtat in 1984, was the subject of international outrage this April, when the Red Cross unearthed the bodies of more than 5,000 opposition-party members in a desert grave. Protest by the international community led to the dispatching of a U.N. team to Khartoum last month, which led to the installation of the new suggestion box. One thorny point in our negotiations was the issue of how many blank lines to leave on the index cards, U.N. chief negotiator Uwe Eckhaus said. We felt at least 10 would be needed to provide enough room for detailed suggestions, but the General felt that anything more than five would necessitate unnaturally cramped handwriting. The Khartoum agreement caps off a month of diplomatic triumph for the oft-maligned U.N. Three weeks ago, the continued slaughter of Kurds by Iraqs Saddam Hussein was condemned by the Security Council, in a resolution that expressed the most fervent possible tsk-tsking. And just last week, Boutros Boutros-Ghali was the commencement speaker at a high school graduation in Dix Hills, New York. We live in an age of international violence and terror, said Boturos-Ghali in the speech, which preceded the Khartoum Accord by days. We cannot continue to permit other countries to deny basic liberties to their people and thereby tread upon the fundamental decency that is the natural birthright of every human being. . . Good luck, graduates! 
3	Stasis New IncarnationStephen Lendman When East Germany collapsed in 1989, Stasi had over 90,000 full-time employees. Another 300,000 were paid informants. They spied on East German citizens. Thousands of West German collaborators did so on theirs. Stasi infiltrated NATO headquarters. Legendary spymaster Markus (Mischa) Wolf ran things. He did so for 34 years. He had Jewish roots. In the early 1930s, his family fled Germany. It did so to escape nazi persecution. Wolf was educated at Moscows Comintern Academy. He worked as a journalist. He observed Nuremberg trial proceedings. Post-WW II, he returned to Germany. He was part of a communist Berlin delegation. He showed leadership qualities. He rose rapidly in the ranks. Stalinists trusted him. In 1953, he was among others in charge of foreign intelligence. He and Erich Mielke ran East Germanys Ministry of State Security (Stasi). It was justifiably feared. Historian John Koehler called it an instrument for the ruthless oppression of East Germanys population as well as one of the worlds most effective intelligence services. Wolf became known as the man without a face. For years, Western intelligence agencies had no photos. He was lucky. In November 2006, he died peacefully in his sleep. Mielke was convicted of murder in absentia. After reunification, he was arrested. In 1993, he was convicted. He was sentenced to six years imprisonment. After less than two, he was paroled. Its modern-day incarnation lives. On July 7, Der Spiegel headlined Snowden claims: NSA Ties Put German Intelligence in Tight Spot. Theyre in bed together, said Snowden. NSA partners with foreign intelligence in other countries. Its Foreign Affairs Directorate (BND) does so. Its done in ways to insulate their political leaders from the backlash. Its precautionary in case people learn how grievously theyre violating global privacy. BND/NSA cooperation is far greater than previously known. According to Der Spiegel, NSA provides analysis tools. Theyre for BNDs signals monitoring of foreign data streams that travel through Germany. Besides other areas, BND focuses on the Middle East route through which data packets from crisis regions travel. Der Spiegel said BND pulls data from five different nodes that are then analyzed at the foreign intelligence services headquarters in Pullach near Munich. Gerhard Schindler heads it. He confirmed the partnership during a meeting with members of the German parliaments control committee for intelligence issues. Germanys Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution is responsible for counterintelligence. Its investigating whether NSA gained access to Internet traffic traveling through Germany. Berlin approved construction of a new US army base in Germany. NSA plans operations there when completed. A new Wiesbaden-based Consolidated Intelligence center is being built. US contractors are doing so. Supposedly itll be bug-proof. It may not turn out that way. Snowden told Der Spiegel that German outrage over NSA spying was pretense. Both countries work closely together. Relations are longstanding. Current operations far exceed Stasis. Theyre conducted with technological ease. Decades earlier spying was crude compared to todays. Modern methods operate in unprecedented ways. Virtually everyone can be monitored everywhere at all times. Nearly everything about targets is known. Almost nothings too secret to escape scrutiny. Theres no way to hide. Theres no place to do it. More than BND is involved. Snowden provided new details about Britains Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ). Its Tempora system is the signal intelligence communitys first full-take Internet buffer. It accumulates and saves all data passing through Britain. The scope of this full take system is vast. According to Snowden: It snarfs everything in a rolling buffer to allow retroactive investigation without missing a single bit. As a general rule, so long as you have any choice at all, you should never route through or peer with the UK under any circumstances, he stressed. German Internet experts said doing so isnearly impossible. Snowden stressed the importance of meta-data collection and retention. Authorities having it know who communicated with whom, when and about what. They can sift through information for whats most important. Meta-data, said Snowden, tells (them) what (they) actually want. It provides tips on which communications and content might be most relevant. Simple pointing and clicking lets them retrieve or permanently collect the full content of communications that have already been stored for a specific person or group, or they can collect future communications. Anyone can be selected for targeting based on, for example, your Facebook or webmail content. Britain, Germany and most other Western countries are longstanding NSA partners, said Snowden. Angela Merkel alluding to Cold War tactics doesnt wash. Der Spiegel said NSA monitors about 20 60 million German phone calls daily. On average, it collects information on 10 million Internet data sets. Der Spiegel interviewed Snowden earlier. He was in Hawaii. He hadnt left for Hong Kong. He communicated by encrypted emails. It was done with documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras and computer security researcher/hacker Jacob Applebaum. Information Snowden provided showed some allies exceed NSAs zeal for gathering data. Britains GCHQ spying is notorious. Intelligence sources call it a full take operation. It sucks up all information, no matter where it comes from and which laws are broken, said Snowden. If you send a data packet through Britain, well get it. If you download anything, and the server is in Britain, well get it. If the NSA is ordered to target an individual, it virtually take over that persons data so the targets computer no longer belongs to him, it more or less belongs to the US government. Der Spiegels Interview with Snowden As explained above, it was conducted from Hawaii. It was before Snowden revealed Germanys longstanding cooperation with NSA. Question: What is the mission of the National Security Agency (NSA) and how is their job in accordance with the law? Snowden: It is the mission of the NSA, to be aware of anything of importance going on outside of the United States. This is a considerable task, and the people there are convinced that not knowing everything about everyone could lead to some existential crisis. So, at some point, you believe its all right to bend the rules a little. Then, if people hate it that you can bend the rules, it suddenly becomes vital even to break them. Question: Are German authorities or politicians involved in the monitoring system? Snowden: Yes, of course. (NSA officials) are in cahoots with the Germans, as well as with the most other Western countries. US intelligence operatives warn the others, when someone we want to catch, uses one of their airports and they then deliver them to us. The information on this, we can for example pull off of the monitored mobile phone of a suspected hackers girlfriend who used it in an entirely different country which has nothing to do with the case. The other authorities do not ask us where we got the leads, and we do not ask them anything either. That way, they can protect their political staff from any backlash if it came out how massive the global violation of peoples privacy is. Question: But now as details of this system are revealed, who will be brought before a court over this? Snowden: Before US courts? Youre not serious, are you? When the last large wiretapping scandal was investigated the interception without a court order, which concerned millions of communications that should really have led to the longest prison sentences in world history. However, then our highest representatives simply stopped the investigation. The question, who is to be accused, is theoretical, if the laws themselves are not respected. Laws are meant for people like you or me but not for them. Question: Does the NSA cooperate with other states like Israel? Snowden: Yes, all the time. The NSA has a large section for that, called the FAD Foreign Affairs Directorate. Question: Did the NSA help to write the Stuxnet program? (Its malware contamination used to infect Irans Bushehr nuclear facility.) Snowden: The NSA and Israel wrote Stuxnet together. Question: What are the major monitoring programs active today, and how do international partners help the NSA? Snowden: The partners in the Five Eyes (meaning other US intelligence operations, UK, Australian, New Zealand and Canadian spying) sometimes go even further than the NSA people themselves. Take the Tempora program of the British intelligence GCHQ for instance. Tempora is the first (Full take) I save everything approach in the intelligence world. It sucks in all data, no matter what it is, and which rights are violated by it. This buffered storage allows for subsequent monitoring; not a single bit escapes. Right now, the system is capable of saving three days worth of traffic, but that will be optimized. Three days may perhaps not sound like a lot, but its not just about connection metadata. Full take means that the system saves everything. If you send a data packet and if makes its way through the UK, we will get it. If you download anything, and the server is in the UK, then we get it. And if the data about your sick daughter is processed through a London call center, then. Oh, I think you have understood. Question: Can anyone escape? Snowden: Well, if you had the choice, you should never send information over British lines or British servers. Even the Queens selfies with her lifeguards would be recorded, if they existed. Question: Do the NSA and its partners apply some kind of wide dragnet method to intercept phone calls, texts and data? Snowden: Yes, but how much they can record, depends on the capabilities of the respective taps. Some data is held to be more worthwhile, and can therefore be recorded more frequently. But all this is rather a problem with foreign tapping nodes, less with those of the US. This makes the monitoring in their own territory so terrifying. The NSAs options are practically limitless in terms of computing power, space or cooling capacity for the computers. Question: The NSA is building a new data center in Utah. What is it for? Snowden: These are the new mass data storage facilities. Question: For how long will the information there be stored? Snowden: Right now it is still so, that the full text of collected material ages very quickly, within a few days, especially given its enormous amount. Unless an analyst marked a target or a particular communication. In that case the communication is saved for all eternity, one always get an authorization for that anyway. The metadata ages less quickly. The NSA at least wants all metadata to be stored forever. Often the metadata is more valuable than the contents of the communication, because in most cases, one can retrieve the content, if there is metadata. And if not, you mark all future communications that fits this metadata and is of interest, so that henceforth it will be recorded completely. The metadata tells you what you actually want from the broader stream. Question: Do private companies help the NSA? Snowden: Yes. But its hard to prove that. The names of the cooperating telecom companies are the crown jewels of the NSA. Generally you can say that multinationals with headquarters in the USA should not be trusted until they prove otherwise. This is unfortunate, because these companies have the ability to deliver the worlds best and most reliable services if they wanted to. To facilitate this, civil rights movements should now use these revelations as a driving force. The companies should write enforceable clauses into their terms, guaranteeing their clients that they are not being spied on. And they should include technical guarantees. If you could move even a single company to do such a thing, it would improve the security of global communications. And when this appears to not be feasible, you should consider starting one such company yourself. Question: Are there companies that refuse to cooperate with the NSA? Snowden: Yes, but I know nothing of a corresponding list that would prove this. However, there would surely be fewer companies of this type if the companies working with the NSA would be punished by the customer. That should be the highest priority of all computer users who believe in the freedom of thoughts. Question: What are the sites you should beware, if you do not want to become targeted by the NSA? Snowden: Normally one is marked as a target because of a Facebook profile or because of your emails. The only place which I personally know where you can become a target without this specific labeling, are jihadist forums. Question: What happens if the NSA has a user in its sights? Snowden: The target person is completely monitored. An analyst will get a daily report about what has changed in the computer system of the targeted person. There will also bepackages with certain data which the automatic analysis systems have not understood, and so on. The analyst can then decide what he wants to do the computer of the target person does not belong to them anymore, it then more or less belongs to the US government. A Final Comment Venezuela granted Snowden asylum. Bolivia and Nicaragua suggest doing so. His time in Moscows Sheremetyevo Airports transit area may be near ending. Venezuela awaits word on his plans. Its offer remains firm. Perhaps Snowden prefers communicating privately. His safety depends on doing so. Hell explain when and if its wise. Hopefully hell relocate safely quickly. Millions support his courage. He risked everything to expose lawless US spying. He deserves his just reward.

2	ANDREA TANTAROS UPDATE: A New Development In The Petition To Bring Her Back No one knows the real reason that Andrea Tantaros was let go from Fox. Many believe it is because of her outspoken Pro-Trump stance. But despite the reasons she was let go, if enough people demand that they want her back, Fox will bring her back. An online petition was formed to bring Andrea Tantaros back to Fox News. It started May 8th with an original goal of 1,000 signatures and received over 9,300 signatures. However, yesterday, after sharing the petition with the Conservative101 community, something amazing happened. In less than 24 hours since Conservative 101 shared the link, over 1,300 more people signed the petition. Thanks to you guys the petition went over the 10,000 signature milestone for a total of 10,629 signatures and rising. How much higher can we get this petition, and how much longer until Fox News takes notice? Here is the petition: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/bring-back-andrea-tantaros 
3	Nisour Square Witness: Blackwater Had Power Like Saddam HusseinJustin King The defense brought in character witnesses and attempted to play on the military records of the former contractors. The prosecution paraded witnesses to the shooting and pointed out the complete lack of remorse or acceptance of responsibility on the part of the defendants. In the end, the judge sentenced the men to the mandatory minimum sentences. While the chain of events leading up to the shooting is still unclear, due in part to a suspected cover up by the US State Department, what is known is that the four men opened fire in a crowded square in Baghdad and that some of the victims were shot while fleeing the scene. Prosecutors called it a wartime atrocity. The defendants all proclaimed their innocence at the hearing. One of the defendants, Dustin L. Heard, said: I am very sorry for the loss of life, but I cannot say in all honesty to the court that I believe I did anything wrong. Nicholas Slatten, Dustin Heard, Evan Liberty and Paul Slough killed Mohammed Hafedh Abdulrazzaq Kinanis 9-year-old son. He testified at the hearing and said: Blackwater had power like Saddam Hussein. The power comes from the United States. The defense has indicatedthat it plans to appeal and has raised a jurisdictional issue that may not have been thought out completely. US courts retained jurisdiction over the incident by relying on the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (MEJA). The MEJA is limited in scope to those employed by or accompanying the armed forces. The shooters were contracted through State Department rather than through the Department of Defense. The appeal certainly has merit, but the unintended consequences of a successful appeal may lead to an even worse sentence. The immunity granted to military contractors by the Iraqis was limited in scope as well, and if the defense successfully argues that the men were not under the jurisdiction of the MEJA, they may lose their immunity from prosecution by the Iraqi government. That immunity was revoked shortly after this shooting. If they are not under jurisdiction of the MEJA, it is likely that they would be treated as any other American civilian that traveled to Iraq and killed more than a dozen people. They would be extradited to Iraq. State Department might have been willing to assist the contractors in 2007, but the climate in Iraq is different now and keeping the puppet government happy while the Islamic State terrorizes the countryside is a top priority. It would be unlikely for State Department to risk offending the host government in Iraq by stiffly opposing a newextradition request. The sentence in Iraq for the murders would certainly be death. Blackwaters name has since changed to Academi. Justin King writes for TheAntiMedia.org, where this first appeared. Tune-in to The Anti-Media radio show Monday-Friday @ 11pm EST, 8pm PST. 
2	Dolly Parton Announces Sequel To Coat Of Many Colors Movie Following the release of the immensely successful Coat of Many Colors film, Dolly Parton has just released a sequel that will be here in time for Christmas this year. The first film was released last December, and drew in almost 16 million viewers. It became the most-watched film on cable or broadcast in almost seven years. The film was based on Partons autobiographical song of the same title. After its release, fans immediately demanded a sequel. Now, that request is becoming a reality. In a recent press release, Parton and NBC revealed that the sequel will be called Dolly Partons Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love. The original cast will return for the holiday story, including Jennifer Nettles as Partons mother Avie Lee and Alyvia Alyn Lind as young Parton. Parton is clearly unable to contain her excitement of the sequel, claiming that she is looking forward to sharing more colors of her life with her fans. I am so happy to share this story with the viewers and to say there is so much more to tell because mine truly has been a life of many colors, she commented. The story will focus on the holiday season, when the Parton family faces many challenges when an unexpected blizzard hits. In the film, Partons father Robert and his children go above and beyond on an adventure to get Avie Lee the wedding ring he could never afford to give her. It felt like a no-brainer to bring this talented cast back together and tell another compelling holiday story culled from Dollys own life growing up in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, Stephen Herek, the director of the first film, commented. Her spirit and belief in Godand her musicwill infuse this movie with the true spirit of Dolly Parton. Will you tune in? 
2	What Obama Secretly Just Said To Putin Over The Red Phone Is Very, Very Frightening After nation security experts confirmed Russias interference in the presidential campaign, President Obama was advised to make a serious threat to Russian President Vladimir Putin: if you mess with our democracy, we will consider it an act of war. But Obama did not follow that advice when he spoke to Putin about the hacking in Septemberhe simply warned that there would be consequences for Russia if they didnt stop. The hacking continued. Now, one month later, the U.S. used the Red Phone that connects Moscow to Washington to reiterate their warning, this time threatening armed conflict. The Red Phone system is used to communicate in moments of crisis and is actually an email to link the U.S. and Russia through their Nuclear Risk Reduction Centers. International law, including the law for armed conflict, applies to actions in cyberspace, part of the message sent through the Red Phone at the end of October said. We will hold Russia to those standards. The Obama administration had never used the cyber line before, and several intelligence officials told NBC that the use of the system had become very serious. Its a dramatic step to pick that phone up and use it, Ret. Adm. James Stavridis, the former head of NATO, told reporters. Liberals arent happy with Obamas pushback against Putinfeeling his threats werent strong enough to win Hillary the election. They claim the stolen emails implicating Hillary Clinton swung the electiona claim that is virtually impossible to prove and largely ignores the fact that Hillary committed crimes. Still, the administration stands behind their actions. This action was part of our ongoing, rigorous efforts to press the Russian government to halt the actions of those responsible for these cyber attacks, a senior White House official confirmed in a statement. Obama also claims that his call was a success. Stavridis, on the other hand, thinks Obamas response was insufficient to achieve the objective of ensuring that we do not receive further attacks. In other words, when someone tries to bully you, you have to push back or you invite further response. Still, he acknowledged that pushing for a war with Russia isnt in our best interests, either. What do you think of Obamas decision to threaten Russia? 
3	Obama Announces More Special Forces Troops To Syria, Escalates Existing PolicyBy Brandon Turbeville In his speech at Hannover, Germany, Obama stated: Just as I approved additional support for Iraqi forces against ISIL, Ive decided to increase U.S. support for local forces fighting ISIL in Syria, a small number of special operations forces are already on the ground in Syria and their expertise has been critical as local forces have driven ISIL out of key areas. So given their success Ive approved the deployment of up to 250 additional U.S. personnel in Syria including special forces to keep up this momentum. Obama made a point to state that the troops will not be leading the fight on the ground but will be engaged in training and providing assistance to local forces. Obama also restated the U.S. position that Assad must go when he said, Just as we remain relentless on the military front were not going to give up on diplomacy to end the civil war in Syria because the suffering of the people in Syria has to end and that requires an effective political transition. CNN reports that The troops will be expanding the ongoing U.S. effort to bring more Syrian Arab fighters into units the U.S. supports in northern Syria that have largely been manned by the Kurds, an official told CNN earlier. The plan calls for the additional U.S. forces to advise and assist forces in the area whom the U.S. hopes may eventually grow strong enough to take back territory around Raqqa, Syria, where ISIS is based. These troops are not expected to engage in combat operations or to participate in target-to-kill teams but will be armed to defend themselves, one official said. . . . . . The official said the President was persuaded to take this additional step because of recent successes against ISIS. What these statements mean, of course, is that the United States is deploying troops to better assist, train, and organize the terrorists on the ground who are fighting Assad and the Syrian military. After all, these fighters that the U.S. supports are nothing more than ISIS, al-Qaeda, FSA, Nusra, and other numerous groups and groupiscules that are ideologically identical to one another and whose only real tangible difference is the names they themselves. Not only that, any talk of recent successes against ISIS is clearly not the successes of the United States, NATO, or the anti-Syria coalition. They are the successes of Syria, Iran, Hezbollah, and Russia. Indeed, the latter forces have achieved in weeks what the former could not achieve in over a year (ten years according to the U.S.), a true testament to what can be achieved when one actually targets the terrorist organization as opposed to supporting it. Still, it is important to point out that, regardless of Obamas recent announcement, U.S. Special Forces have been present in Syria for quite some time, with NATO member Special Forces known publicly even earlier. In October, 2015, it was announced by the White House that 50 Special Forces troops would be sent to Syria. This announcement came days after it was reported that U.S. Special Forces commandos were working with Kurdish forces to free prisoners of the Islamic State in Syria. Later, the presence of U.S. Special Forces in Syria was tacitly acknowledged in 2015 when the U.S. took credit for the killing of Abu Sayyaf. Reports circulated in October, 2014 that U.S. soldiers and Special Forces troops were fighting alongside Kurdish battalions in Kobane. An article by Christof Lehmann published in March 20, 2015 stated, Evidence about the presence of U.S. special forces in the Syrian town Ayn al-Arab a.k.a. Kobani emerged. Troops are guiding U.S. airstrikes as part of U.S support for the Kurdish separatist group PYD and the long-established plan to establish a Kurdish corridor. A photo taken in Ayn al-Arab shows three U.S. soldiers. One of them Peter is carrying a Bushnell laser rangefinder, an instrument designed to mark targets for U.S. jets, reports Ceyhun Bozkurt for Aydinlik Daily. The photo substantiated previous BBC interviews with U.S. soldiers who are fighting alongside the Kurdish separatist group PYD in Syria. The photo of the three U.S. troopers also substantiates a statement by PYD spokesman Polat Can from October 14, 2014, reports Aydinlik Daily. Can admitted that a special unit in Kobani provides Kurdish fighters with the coordinates of targets which then would be relayed to coalition forces. The first public U.S. Special Forces raid in Syria took place in July, 2014 when Delta Force personnel allegedly attempted to rescue several Americans being held by ISIS near Raqqa. Allegedly, the soldiers stormed the facility but the terrorists had already moved the hostages. While the raid would provide evidence that U.S. Special Forces were operating in Syria in 2014, many researchers believe the story is simply fabricated by the White House to provide legitimacy to the stories of murdered hostages and thus the subsequent pro-war propaganda that ensued as well as to promote the gradual acceptance of U.S. troops on the ground in Syria. In 2012, an article published in the Daily Star by Deborah Sherwood revealed that SAS Special Forces and MI6 agents were operating inside Syria shortly after the destabilization campaign began in earnest. Sherwood writes, Special Forces will help protect the refugees in Syria along the borders. Last week as the president ignored an international ceasefire, plans were being finalised to rescue thousands of Syrians. SAS troops and MI6 agents are in the country ready to help rebels if civil war breaks out as expected this weekend. They also have hi-tech satellite computers and radios that can instantly send back photos and details of refugees and Assads forces as the situation develops. Whitehall sources say it is vital they can see what is happening on the ground for themselves so Assad cannot deny atrocities or battles. And if civil war breaks out the crack troops are on hand to help with fighting, said the insider. . . . . . Safe havens would be an invasion of Syria but a chance to save lives, said a senior Whitehall source. The SAS will throw an armed screen round these areas that can be set up within hours. There are guys in the communications unit who are signallers that can go right up front and get involved in close-quarter fighting. In addition, in March 2012, it was reported by Lebanons Daily Star that 13 French intelligence agents had been captured by the Syrian government, proving not only that Western Special Ops presence in Syria did, in fact, exist but also that it existed essentially from the start. Thus, the presence of NATO Special Forces and U.S. Special Forces specifically are nothing new at all. Obamas announcement is simply the advertisement of a policy that is gradually escalating in regards to Syria and, as a result, threatens to provoke a direct confrontation between the United States and Russia.

No boots on the ground in Syria If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor Anyone who says the US economy is weak is peddling fiction labor participation rate shows 1 out 3 working age Americans out of work. Anyone who still supports Obama the King of Lies at this point deserves everything that they get If the government of Syria didnt invite the US to enter its territory then the US should get the H out! The military industrial death machine and its elite scum leaders rolls ever onward. plan has been to use isis like a fire and contain it (in syria) and use kurds to create real civil war and split the country,i predicted this over a year ago and even said that eventually the kurds will present a much bigger problem than isis,no one cares if you kill isis but kill a kurd who wishes to create civil strife and you kill a moderate syrian making it much harder for the gov to deal with the problem militarly The POS in the WH will soon enough have American troops fighting Russian and Syrian troops the POS in the WH wants this to happen! Western backed rebels helped kill off a bunch of Syrian Christian. Assad had protected them by law while he was in power. The POS in the WH is trying to over throw Assad Bad move he was the only leader left that actually did the following and I lived in Syria for many years. 1. Rule of law. 2. Tourist industry lots of American tourists at Crac de Chevalier castle. 3. All kids girls included went to school. 4. Free medical and dental to all in Syria 5. Electrical power to all in Syria. 6. No one went hungry in Syria. 7. Oil industry in Syria 8. Women in Damascus were not beaten and forced to wear islamic slave clothing. Lots more. I was in Daraa when the fit hit the shan the imams that I talked to told me they wanted Assad gone because he was too liberal. There is far too much BS media about Syria when in fact if the US of A had backed them from the start ISIS would have been in serious trouble. This is why PUTIN is rising in world opinion the US leadership is so EFFd about this one Kerry. McCain, POS Pres Oblahblah and all are backing the wrong team. Rant over but all the above is true and the media WILL NEVER tell you that. 
2	Open Carry Gun Group Mobilize To Protest Islamization In Michigan: We Are Fed Up [VIDEO] According to recent reports, a group of conservatives are planning an anti-Islam rally in Dearborn to take a stand against the evils of radical Islam. Police, FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security officers are expected to be in full force to monitor what is being deemed a Global Rally for Humanity. The event is set to take place outside of the Islamic Center of America, the largest mosque in North America. As this invasion of Muslim colonization continues unchecked on American soil, we can only expect the same suffering now endured by Europe, one of the organizers commented. Now is the time to act. Some community members that the peaceful demonstration may end in violence, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) notified community leaders that hate rallies will be taking place. What do you think? Do you support these protesters or are they taking things to far? 
2	BREAKING: Rick Perry Deploys Texas National Guard To Defend Border As Obama refuses to take action during the border crisis, the demand for security from the American people continues to grow. Still, the Obama administration has decided to turn their heads, and although they have asked for $3.7 billion to deal with the crisis, only 2% of that will go to border security. Measures are being left up to the states, and Texas governor Rick Perry has decided to send 1,000 National Guard troops to the border. According to a report released by the McAllen Monitor, state troops will be deployed to the western areas of the Rio Grande Valley and to exposed range lands further north. Breitbart Texas reports that law enforcement in the area is stretched so thin, there is only one deputy to cover 900 miles of ranch lands. According to Breitbart, the memo stated, This is not a militarization of the border. The DPS and the National Guard are working to keep any drug and human trafficking south of 83 and with the goal of keeping any smuggling from entering major highways to transport East/West/and North. The deployment of the National Guard will be up to $12 million per month. $10 million of that will go to fund personnel and vehicles, and an additional $2.4 million will be used to buy helicopters. 
2	Sheriff Clark Just Risked Everything To Stand Up To The Feds, Hes Calling For Pitchforks And Torches Sheriff David Clarke first caught national attention when he delivered a powerful opening speech for Donald Trump at the RNC convention. He has since spoken out against the Black Lives Matter movement and devastating violence against police officers. Now, he is taking on the Department of Justice, criticizing them for continuing to let Hillary off the hook. Clarke has been asking the questions many of us are wondering: how much longer are we going to stand by silently while the media pushes a Clinton presidency? How much longer are we going to let our Justice system help her get away with her many careless crimes? Its incredible that our institutions of gov, WH, Congress, DOJ, and big media are corrupt and all we do is bitch, Clarke tweeted. Pitchforks and torches time. Of course, liberals quickly attacked Clarke for inciting violence. What do you think? Was Clarke just making a point that our country cant just continue to complain and hope things get better? 
2	Black Police Officer Shoots And Kills White Man Remember last year, when the nation erupted in outrage after Darren Wilson, a white officer, shot and killed Mike Brown, a black man? Were betting you do. Remember just recently, when 20-year-old Dillon Taylor was shot by a black police officer outside of a local 7-eleven? Were guessing you dont. That incident in August was pushed under the rug, probably because it didnt fit the narrative of the media and liberals throughout the country. Now, Police Chief Chris Burbank claims that there is footage that holds some serious evidence in the hands of authorities, but argues that he will release it only at the appropriate time. You will see on camerathe actions of everyone involved, including up to the point where our officer utilizes deadly force and his response thereafter, Burbank told reporters. It would be wholly inappropriate to take the most vital piece of evidence that we have and put it out to the public prior to the officer having some due process. Meanwhile, Taylors family and friends maintain that he was unarmed at the time of the shooting, and offered no physical threat to the officer in question. It didnt make sense to me when I first heard everything, and they tried to say he had a gun, Aaron Swanenberg, Taylors friend, told reporters. I knew Dillon. He never packed a gun. Taylors sister also paints a very different picture than the one the media is portraying, claiming that he was determined to turn over a new leaf. He was trying to do better for himself, Marissa Martinez told reporters. And this is what happens to him? It was really heartbreaking. The media has blatantly refused to discuss race in the case, referring to the officer only as non-white. Clearly, they are terrified to say that he is black. What do you think? Are you tired of the double standard? 
1	Following reports earlier this week of pop star Taylor Swifts whirlwind romance with One Direction singer Harry Styles, sources confirmed today that Swift has moved on and is apparently now dating Garfield creator Jim Davis. Taylor and Jim were first spotted canoodling in a SoHo bar last night, and we were able to confirm today that the two are indeed an item, Gawker contributor Janice Reynolds wrote of the relationship between the nearly 23-year-old singer-songwriter and the 67-year-old syndicated cartoonist, nicknaming the couple Tayvis. Just this morning, fans took several photos of the lovebirds leaving her Tribeca hotel hand in hand. Theyre actually really cute together. At press time, sources reported seeing the new couple board a private jet that was most likely bound for Davis home in Albany, IN. 
1	Wichita 4th District alderperson Alan Klemke, who rode into office four years ago in one of the most stunning political upsets in U.S. history, saw his hopes for a second term dashed Tuesday in the wake of reports he engaged in an extramarital affair with his secretary, Eileen Lundstrom, 48. Given his widespread support among the American people, Klemkes reelection had seemed all but assured until The Wichita Eagle broke the sex scandal in a page-two exclusive, suggesting an illicit relationship had begun as far back as the Orchard Breeze neighborhood hazardous waste collection event in May. Alan is proud to have served all the great people of Wichita residing in the area bound by South McLean Boulevard and the Wichita Mid-Continent Airport, Klemke campaign manager and local pool supply store owner Bill Bohlen told reporters. He considers it an honor to have represented this great district and leaves behind a record of tireless advocacy for new snow-clearing regulations, as well as for securing funds to repaint graffiti-defaced water towers. While he has no comment upon the allegations made in the press, he hopes his retirement from public service will give his wife, his family, and all Wichitanians time to heal, Bohlen added. Exit polls indicated the scandal was the primary reason for the defeat of Klemke by Carl Ferguson, whose return to the 4th District alderpersonship may lead to the reversal of sidewalk extension policies and a rolling back of summer hours at the Wichita Public Librarys Lionel D. Alford Branch. 
3	40 Items to Barter in a Post-Collapse WorldGaye Levy, Contributor A lot of people think of bartering as something to do when they are down and out, perhaps unemployed, or low on cash. But nothing could be further from the truth. Bartering has been around for eons and is simply a smart way to acquire goods and services under the radar screen. Today I would like to share some very simple tips for bartering as well as my own suggested list of items and skills that may be useful for barter in a post-collapse economy. How does simple barter work? In a simple barter, you look for someone who is looking for a particular kinds of goods or services in exchange for goods or services that you may want. For example, lets say you do plumbing work but you need a some gardening equipment. A simple barter would be exchanging some plumbing repairs for a used plow or rototiller. Getting started is easy. One of the simplest things to do is to put up a small ad on the local community bulletin board, perhaps at the grocery store or bowling alley. (And by the way, I dont know why but bowling alleys are particularly good for this sort of thing.) You can also peruse Craigslist or the Little Nickel want ads for people trying to sell the item you need. The next step is to simply phone them and ask and suggest a trade. One of the very best ways to barter, though, is to put the word out among like-minded friends, relatives and neighbors. Let them know what you have for trade and see what they offer in return. What I am describing here is bartering in its most simplistic form but I think you get the gist. Beyond simple bartering there are more complicated and dare I say sophisticated scenarios such as three-way barters and barter clubs. But that gets beyond the scope of this article which is merely to get you into the bartering mindset. There are a lot of different opinions as to what items will be best for barter in a post-collapse world where the underground economy may be the only viable economy for the passing of goods and services. That said, consider this a starting point as you begin to acquire goods for barter. In no particular order, consider accumulating some of the following items for barter purposes. And keep in mind that in a post-collapse world, the items do not necessarily have to be new, but simply serviceable. One thing you will notice that I have not included firearms or ammo and for good reason. In a post-collapse society, you might not know your barter partners well and may run the risk that they will use these items against you so that they can steal the rest of your stuff. One persons opinion, anyway. As you get started with bartering in a pre-collapse world and after all, like any other survival skill, you should hone your skills now. Keep in mind that in the United States, the IRS does have some rules for business bartering and most certainly states probably do as well as it pertains to Business and Occupation taxes. Just something to keep in mind. Times are tough. Many are unemployed. And many have had their retirement funds decimated by the sneaky (and dare we say corrupt?) Wall Street types. Perhaps you have a useful skill. Or perhaps you have a healthy flock of egg-laying chickens that provide more than you can consume. Whatever you have in excess capacity, now is the time to learn to trade your skill or extra commodities for something you either need or covet. There are lots of resources online, at the libraries, and in eBooks to help you acquire bartering skills. Start small but start now. Bartering is the in thing to do these days.

2	Beyonce Gets Brutal Response From Police After Asking For Help During her controversial Super Bowl 50 performance, Beyonce made the tasteless decision to insult our nations police officers. That decision quickly received backlash, and now it seems that her performance is coming back to haunt her once again. According to reports, police officers in Tampa, Florida recently got a request to work security for Beyonce during her April 29 concert in their town, as part of the Formation tour. Typically, off-duty officers sign up to work for these high-profile events to bring in extra income. No officers have signed up as of yet, and we cant say were surprised. Were going to staff it because we have a responsibility to do that regardless of how controversial it might be, who the artist might be, or who the politician might be, police spokesman Steve Hegarty told reporters. This is a couple of months away, so weve still got plenty of time to fill those slots. Watch the report below and tell us what you think. Are you boycotting Beyonce?

2	BREAKING: Trey Gowdy Releases Benghazi Report Shocking Incriminating Evidence Against Obama Revealed This Friday marked the first anniversary of the Select Committee on Benghazi. To honor the occasion, Republican Chairman Trey Gowdy released a report outlining the successes and failures of the past year as they began to investigate the 2012 attacks. In the report, Gowdy deemed the White House the greatest impediment to completing this investigation in a timely manner, noting that the administration has repeatedly stalled and hesitated to comply with subpoenas for documents and witness testimony. The committee has received immense criticism from Democrats. Notably, Representative Elijah Cummings of Maryland called the investigation a political charade that was designed only to derail Hillary Clintons presidential campaign. Other Democrats have criticized the program for moving at a glacial pace. Still, Gowdys report indicates that the committee has been able to obtain unreleased documents and emails, and complete 100 hours of interviews. He also claims that they have been able to retrieve approximately 50 FBI reports on the attacks. What do you think? Do you support Gowdys efforts to uncover the truth about Benghazi? 
3	First Human Death in Self-Driving Car: Not Sophisticated EnoughBy Mac Slavo A test man working with Tesla motors was killed after the autopilot feature failed to see a bright-white 18-wheeler which was poorly contrast against the bright lit sky. It is unfortunate, and spooky, since white is the most common color for tractor trailers, and the big rigs account for the most deadly accidents. One wonders how a tiny, smart car making decisions of a computer would stand up to such a vehicle. Not sophisticated enough to overcome blindness from bright or low contrast light. Videographers know how easily blown-out light that is too bright can ruin an otherwise well-composed shot. Cameras can do a lot, but digital sensors arent usually good at compensating for this issue. And it happens to be reason this man got killed, as Yahoo! reports: The U.S. announced Thursday the first fatality in a wreck involving a car in self-driving mode, the 40-year-old owner of a technology company who nicknamed his vehicle Tessy and had praised its sophisticated Autopilot system just one month earlier for preventing a collision on an interstate. The government said it is investigating the design and performance of the system aboard the Tesla Model S sedan. [] The technology relies on multiple cameras, radar, laser and computers to sense objects and determine if they are in the cars way, said Mike Harley, an analyst at Kelley Blue Book. Systems like Teslas, which rely heavily on cameras, arent sophisticated enough to overcome blindness from bright or low contrast light, he said. This time, it wasnt human error. Let that sink in. On the other hand, according to the report from the truck driver who collided with the vehicle, the man was not only asleep at the wheel, but watching a DVD of Harry Potter at the time of the crash: Frank Baressi, 62, the driver of the truck and owner of Okemah Express LLC, said the Tesla driver was playing Harry Potter on the TV screen at the time of the crash and driving so quickly that he went so fast through my trailer I didnt see him. It was still playing when he died and snapped a telephone pole a quarter mile down the road, Baressi told The Associated Press Wow. And you think others will be paying attention when they get behind the wheel of these things? Neither parts of this techno-tragedy bode well for the future. People are quick to turn themselves over to conveniences and gadgets, and many will happily put their lives in the hands of these vehicles. But technology, no matter how sophisticated, cant directly interpret reality. And cold hard reality is just what this car crashed into, and the sensors didnt catch it.

1	Claiming it is impossible to get him to consider different points of view, exasperated acquaintances of local man Kyle Dunham told reporters Wednesday that the 34-year-old is completely unwilling to listen to even a single argument as to why homosexuality is an abomination. Sources familiar with the account managers maddeningly rigid beliefs said that no matter how patiently and logically they present the extensive evidence demonstrating that gays and lesbians are systematically destroying society, the narrow-minded Dunham simply tunes them out. You try to have a rational conversation with him in which you carefully explain, point by point, how the Bible reveals that homosexuality is abhorrent and dangerous, and his eyes just glaze over, said neighbor Alex Richardson, who told reporters he has never met anyone in his life so resistant to facts that contradicted his preconceived ideas. Even when I bring up something basic that most informed people agree onlike how a man who lies down with another man is condemned to eternal hellfirehe just shakes his head. I could spend all day calmly and methodically spelling out what befell the Sodomites, Richardson added. But it all goes in one ear and out the other. Despite intending to do nothing more than engage Dunham in a frank but nonjudgmental conversation about his inflexible views, most of his acquaintances said they could not even broach the possibility that homosexuality was a vile obscenity without being immediately dismissed. If you even suggest theres the slightest chance that gays are deviants who are unequal to heterosexuals, he just puts up this mental barrier, said Dunhams brother-in-law, Wayne Byers, who claimed his repeated efforts to educate Dunham about how all gay men are pedophiles was like talking to a brick wall. Once he retreats into that mindset, forget it. You can counter every single one of his arguments with irrefutable Scripture all day, but youre not getting through. Even when I try to tell him these arent just my personal beliefs, but the consensus opinion of leading pastors and radio personalities, hes still not convinced. Honestly, I think hes afraid, added Byers. Maybe if he opened his mind a tiny, tiny crack, he just might discover that its Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. Many speculated that Dunhams obstinate behavior stemmed from an insular childhood spent cloistered exclusively among similarly close-minded individuals. Under these sheltered conditions, acquaintances told reporters, it might actually seem natural for him to doubt that gays and lesbians serve the Devil, that they are intent on converting all young children to homosexuality, or that their sexual orientation is actually a disease. As a result, some said they tried viewing Dunhams refusal to acknowledge even the most common-sense facts about homosexualitys apocalyptic power with understanding and compassion. I just try to remind myself that Kyles not inherently a bad person, just an ignorant one, said coworker Cathy Ramirez, who conceded that she occasionally walked away from a conversation with Dunham rather than listen to him repeat the same tired egalitarian talking points over and over. If I was raised in an environment where I had no choice but to read something other than the Old and New Testament, I might share his same stubborn beliefs. But most who have come up against Dunhams intractability told reporters that their sympathy quickly gives way to frustration. I just get so angry when I sit there citing clear-cut evidence like Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:27, and Corinthians 6:9, and I can already tell his minds 100 percent made up, said Dunhams former college roommate, Nate Dietrich, admitting he often rolls his eyes at the forwarded emails he receives from Dunham that make impassioned claims about homosexuality being a normal, natural behavior. Hes just so trapped in his little sealed-off world that nothing makes a difference, nothing. I just want to shake him, you know? One of these days, though, hes going to have to leave that dark cave of his and accept that being homosexual is an offense in the eyes of God and will incur His righteous wrath, Dietrich added. Honestly, I dont know how you go through your whole life living in blindness like that. 
3	Mass Produced Security Robots Introduced in U.S.selfnews Post Security robots have become a special area of interest for developers. Britain recently unveiled its first robot security guard. Bob is the outcropping of a worldwide initiative into robotic security set to appear at prisons, care facilities, schools, or perhaps a neighborhood near you. A U.S. robot called Vigilant MCP (Mobile Camera Platform) can be seen in the following video. The robot is being produced exclusively in the U.S. and is set to ramp up to mass production as orders demand. At $4 per hour fixed cost, it could significantly impact the 1.5 million humans that are currently employed in some form of security patrol. For professional security workers, the robot could pose a major threat to employment, as it offers key improvements for employers over flesh and blood workers. Robots never quit, and they dont call in sick. They are cost-effective at an average of $4 an hour fixed cost, explained Gamma 2 Robotics in a company video. The cost savings can go further unlike human workers, with the Vigilant MCP employers wont have to shell out for background checks or drug screening, and wont even need to leave the lights on as the robot will work happily in the dark. (Source) For now, this model is slated to fulfill typical night watchman duties. However, it continues to highlight how the low operating cost of bots is bound to replace entire sectors of the economy while opening the door for yet another potentially dystopian scenario of weaponized patrol that is given increasingly free rein to operate without even minimal human oversight. Machines will never be able to think. In fact, as you extrapolate the requirements for human-like abilities, you end up with are you ready: a human brain! Your job will NOT be to walk those empty factories at night searching for evil doers! No! Your job will be to build and maintain the tiny robots that do all that for us! https://www.facebook.com/honestyinreporting Dalek invasion! Bob is going to get hacked in 3 days after his deployment. And some drunk is going to mistake Bob for a urinal. And all remote cameras are readable by properly placed antennae. If robot phones werent enough, now there is robotic pretend-to-care-about-safety. Go to hell, Bob, and take your fraudulent security society with you. Ya, but will it vacuum as well? 
2	Obama Stays Silent When 90 Year Old WWII Veteran Beaten To Death By Thugs Delbert Belton, an 88-year-old veteran of World War II living in Spokane, Wash. died tragically, after being attacked by two teenagers. Belton, also know as Shorty was injured in the Battle of Okinawa during his service, and was lounging outside of the Eagle Lodge. He suffered head injuries after getting jumped by two teenagers, who are suspected to be between the ages of 16 and 19. KXLY-TV quotes witnesses describing two black male suspects, who attacked Belton as he was about to head inside of the lodge to play pool. Police received a call about the assault, and found the elderly victim sitting in his car. 
2	Armed Militia Seizes Federal Building According to recent reports, 150 militia members just took over a federal building in Oregon. Three of them are the sons of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy. The militia is heavily armed and is currently occupying the headquarters building at the Malhuer National Wildlife Building in order to keep local ranchers out of prison. The building is just 50 miles outside of Burns, Oregon. The members are reportedly upset that 2 ranchers, namely Dwight and Steve Hammond, were charged under anti-terrorism laws. The Hammonds are scheduled to report to prison this week The militia firmly believes that the Hammonds were illegally prosecuted. They claim that the federal government does not have authority at a county level. This facility has been the tool to do all the tyranny that has been placed upon the Hammonds, Ammon Bundy told the Washington Examiner. Ammons father, Cliven Bundy, gained national notoriety among patriots who opposed the growing overreach of the federal government under President Obama. He is famous for standing firm in an armed standoff with federal officials from the Bureau of Land Management. One investigative reporters claims that Ammon Bundy intends to use to the refuge as headquarters for the militia for the foreseeable future. He had not yet used any violence to support his cause, but claims he will not rule it out. 
1	President Clinton spent several hours behind closed doors Monday with Surgeon General David Satcher on behalf of an unidentified friend who is curious about homosexuality. 'As a favor, this friend of mine asked me to ask the Surgeon General a few questions,' Clinton said. 'This person said he's had some funny new feelings lately, feelings he doesn't feel comfortable talking about, so he was hoping I could ask for him.' Clinton said Satcher assured him that the feelings his friend is having are 'completely natural.' 
3	Japanese security firm to rent surveillance drones for use in private homesMadison Ruppert, Contributor Offering rental drones for private use is quite novel, although it seems to be part of a larger trend towards using or planning to use drones in non-military applications ranging from broadcast television news-gathering to traffic monitoring and police use (also see below video): Yet with the development of drone sensors capable of capturing 36 square miles in a single blink, the rise of long-distance solar-powered electric drones along with drone-based systems capable of employing EMP missiles and automatically spotting and tracking people from 25,000 feet and drones with facial recognition, biometrics and threat assessment capabilities, these drones seem like childs play. This particular drone is the AscTec Pelican, a quadrotor drone, manufactured by Ascending Technologies out of Germany, although the service will be offered by the Japanese firm Secom. Secom did, however, create their own software package and added on some other sensors and accessories designed for its role as a private security drone. The Pelican is by no means on par with the Silent Falcon or Great Horned Owl Program and is not all that stealthy when conducting this kind of surveillance. As you can see in the below video, the drone is actually quite noisy although as IEEE Spectrum points out, it might actually serve as something of a deterrent. The flying robot could take off if our online security systems detect any unauthorized entry, said Secom spokeswoman Asuko Saito, according to AFP. It would enable us to quickly check out whats actually happening on the spot, Saito added. IEEE Spectrum makes a good point in noting, the potential problem, though, is that one swift smack with that crowbar would likely end the useful service life of your drone. Our advice? Either put lasers on the thing, or give it an arm so that it can haul perps directly to the hoosegow. The drone is capable of transmitting live images of a crime in progress and according to Secom it is the worlds first autonomous private drone for security use measuring 24 inches wide and weighing only 3.5 pounds. The other robot with the Secom logo shown in the video is the RobotX, yet another private security robot offered by the Japanese firm. Check out RobotX confronting intruders in the below video: The drone will be offered as part of Secoms online security system and will allow factory managers to monitor areas left uncovered by static cameras, according to AFP. While the service will first be offered in Japan, Secom has stated that they would like to offer it in other countries as well.

1	Major League Baseball's latest effort to achieve competitive parity by having larger-market teams share their runs with small-market teams drew fire last Wednesday after owners complained that the rule unfairly penalized better-performing clubs. 'Subsidizing the offense of other teams isn't our job, so it really hurts when the Yankees lose because we have to give two of our five runs to the Royals,' said Yankees owner Hank Steinbrenner, referring to the previous night, when the league determined a Derek Jeter double off Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander had driven in Kansas City's Wilson Betemit and Mike Aviles. 'And the Royals still got beat by the Orioles in extra innings.' According to the agreement, the only big-market team that does not have to share its runs is the New York Mets 'because, well, they're the New York Mets.' 
2	Trey Gowdy Takes A Stand With Huge Message For America... This Is The Truth In the past few years, Congressman Trey Gowdy has become a hero for refusing to let Hillary Clinton off the hook for her many careless crimes. Clinton has tried pretty much everything to get Gowdy to back down. She even tried to knock Gowdy out of the political realm for good. As you probably know, Gowdy is currently running for reelection, so he decided to do something that would capture the attention of his voters and remind them how hard hes working to hold Hillary and her cronies accountable. He just came out with a hysterical commercial spoofing the various hairstyles hes had over the years. The ad takes place in a barbershop. That Trey Gowdy one client begins. That mans fearless, another jumps in. Hes fighting Obamacare, Hillary and wasteful spending. Know what I like most? one asks. Gowdys consistent. Conservative, another chimed in. Got a good head on his shoulders. Dont know about that hair, though, the barber chimes in, before the camera shows Gowdy sitting in the barbershop. Watch the ad below and tell us what you think. Is this a big win for Gowdy? 
2	Young Boy Walks Up To Police Officer In Restaurant, What Happens Next Is Going Completely Viral [VIDEO] According to reports, a photo of a Houston police officer is interacting with a young boy has gone viral. Jill Becker Bays snapped a picture of an officer typing a young boys shoe at a local Texas Whataburger and shared in on her Facebook page in an attempt to change the way that the police are being treated in this country. She believed the photo would combat all the negative attention that police officers have been receiving amid Black Lives Matter protests. At one point one of the officers pointed out that the boys shoe was untied, she wrote. He slapped his knee, asking the boy to put his shoe on it so that the officer could tie the laces. I took this picture because it was a small gesture of service but it meant the world to a young boy. This is not the first time weve seen actions like this from officers. Take, for instance, the police officer who helped two siblings struggling with laundry bags and the cops who take a break to play some basketball with New York City teens. They deserve a world of support for all they do, one Facebook user commented. Read the post below and tell us what you think: 
1	Americans, a group of people directly responsible for the popularity of country-pop singer Taylor Swift, were asked by an independent research group Wednesday to share their thoughts on the constitutional implications of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. 'They can't force me to get insurance,' survey taker Carrie Hunstley, a woman who will purchase almost any magazine with an image of Swift on the cover and is intimately aware of the fact that the musician briefly dated Jake Gyllenhaal last year, said of the massive federal statute. 'We need to protect the Constitution.' The survey also asked U.S. citizens, 1 in 15 of whom tuned in to watch the episode of CSI during which Taylor Swift made her primetime TV acting debut, for their perspectives on the nation's fiscal policy. 
3	On Record: The Canadian Govt Is Researching Geoengineering with ChemtrailsMelissa Melton Now through a freedom of information request, former British Columbia premier Bill Vander Zalm has revealed that Environment Canada is researching the use of aerosols to fight climate change. The document notes that geo-engineering methods are classified into two groups: solar radiation management, and carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere. It also indicates that government scientists are involved in the internationally-coordinated Geo-Engineering Model Intercomparison Project or GeoMIP. The modeling program seeks to improve understanding of the efficacy and unintended consequences of solar radiation management. The briefing paper was prepared in advance of a top-level inter-agency meeting convened by Environment Canada to discuss matters about geo-engineering options to address climate change. A slide presentation by Environment Canada reveals that the department has undertaken two types of experiments. One simulates the reduction of incoming solar radiation, and another in which aerosols are injected into the stratosphere. (source) Apparently out a total of 47 pages Vander Zalm received, ten of the pages had redacted sections and six were blank. Quite obviously, governments dont spend time and money simulating scenarios for things that they dont intend to ever actually deal with. You dont see top government security officials attending high-level briefings for mutated shark monster Armageddons or robot uprisings, for example (though the latter may come to pass, give it time). Of course an Environment Canada spokesperson was quick to claim that his department only conducts computer simulationsas part of GeoMIP. GeoMIP is only one program, so there is no telling what other field and laboratory climate change research the Canadian government is actually undertaking in addition to that. But Canadian government climate change field and laboratory experimentation is definitely going on, however, considering what Environment Canadas About Us page says under the heading Climate Change Research: Our climate change research focuses on climate change and variability in Canada, the causes and the impacts. Our approach includes: field and laboratory research aimed at understanding climate processes; monitoring atmospheric greenhouse gases to track and understand changes; and developing and applying of climate models to make projections of future change. Our scientific results provide the basis for adaptation and mitigation actions, for climate policy and development, and for climate-related services and products for Canadians. They arent doing it all for nothing. Notice the phrase: Our scientificresults providethe basis for adaptation and mitigation actions Mitigation actions such as injecting aerosols into the stratosphere, perhaps? Chemtrails? Nooooof course notthats all a conspiracy theory with no basis in fact whatsoever, right? Just a lot of scientists and top-level security officials involved in multi-million-dollar pointless government research for absolutely no reason at all Related selfnews Post Article: Melissa Melton is a writer, researcher, and analyst for The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared, and a co-creator of Truthstream Media.

3	Government Schools Common Core IndoctrinationSARTRE TheCommon Core site attempts to outline the purpose and worthiness of their education standards. Sounds like a noble goal; however, what is the reality? As a natural outgrowth of meeting the charge to define college and career readiness, the Standards also lay out a vision of what it means to be a literate person in the twenty-first century. Indeed, the skills and understandings students are expected to demonstrate have wide applicability outside the classroom or workplace. Students who meet the Standards readily undertake the close, attentive reading that is at the heart of understanding and enjoying complex works of literature. They habitually perform the critical reading necessary to pick carefully through the staggering amount of information available today in print and digitally. They actively seek the wide, deep, and thoughtful engagement with high-quality literary and informational texts that builds knowledge, enlarges experience, and broadens worldviews. They reflexively demonstrate the cogent reasoning and use of evidence that is essential to both private deliberation and responsible citizenship in a democratic republic. In short, students who meet the Standards develop the skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening that are the foundation for any creative and purposeful expression in language. Radical Math boasts over 700 lesson plans, articles, charts, books, and websites that cover a wide range of socio-political issues including redistribution of wealth, discrimination against the poor by whites, corporations, banks, etc., and the message that widespread racism against blacks continues in the United States today. Now compare this critical appraisal to the lofty mission of math back in the Common Core mission statement. How can this statement below square with the above practice? For over a decade, research studies of mathematics education in high-performing countries have pointed to the conclusion that the mathematics curriculum in the United States must become substantially more focused and coherent in order to improve mathematics achievement in this country. To deliver on the promise of common standards, the standards must address the problem of a curriculum that is a mile wide and an inch deep. These Standards are a substantial answer to that challenge. Integration into a 21st century business and social model is the ultimate intent of the Common Core objective. Nowhere is there a debate of what kind of future mankind wants or the kind of reality that all human beings are intrinsically part of. Those questions require the study in humanity education and liberal arts training that are quite different from the instruction in algorithm programming. The worldview of this Common Core inculcation presupposes that society accepts their premises as a fait accompli. Their technocrat approach to instruction demands that authentic education must be marginalized if not outright eliminated. The traditional Christian cosmology has no place in this brave new world. In the article,Common Cores Negative Impact on Education and Biblical Literacy, explains the destructive nature of this dehumanizing standardization. The central organizing theme of the Common Core ELA standards is that study of creative literature must be diminished in favor of nonfiction informational texts. The idea is that students should be drilled in the types of documents they are more likely to encounter in their entry-level jobs (and make no mistake, Common Core is a workforce-development model, not an education model). The fundamental problem with the Common Core approach is that, to achieve its job-training goals, it recognizes no difference between one complex text and another complex text. A great work of literature has value far beyond the complexity of the words used it allows students to understand the eternal human condition; it allows them to confront human challenges that recur throughout the ages; it teaches empathy, prudence, forgiveness; it transports the readers to places and times not their own. The Common Core ELA standards are, quite simply, indifferent to this type of education. Training, not educating, is their goal. They are not interested in helping students become the people God created them to be; they are interested in creating workers. You can just hear the profane condemnation from theAmerican Federation of Teacher and theNational Education Association opposing the mere mention of God in their secular temples of perdition. Irony excluded, how biblical revelation dare be debated in a non-judgmental culture of relativism. At the heart of the government school establishment is an unending choir of fallen angels that preach their vision of paradise, while demanding ever higher budgets and far greater control over the indoctrination of their impressionable guinea pigs. One factor is the century-long effort to nationalize and standardize American education. The standardization efforts have their roots in Dewey, Cubberley, and the schools of education at Stanford and Columbia. They picked up steam in the 1960s and 1970s as the national teachers unions gained more power. They strengthened more when President Jimmy Carter fulfilled a promise to the NEA by creating a separate, cabinet-level Department of Education. The educrats dream of a day when every student in America will receive exactly the same education, using the same textbooks and lesson plans. Those textbooks and lesson plans will, of course, be developed by the best and the brightest, who will pass them down on tablets of stone. The worker bees and drones will be programmed to follow them exactly. This is a nightmare scenario, one which anyone who believes in individual rights, local control, and federalism should oppose at every opportunity. The Common Core Standards become dangerous when they form a stepping stone which helps to move the educrats vision forward. Top-down control always is intended to eradicate the voice of the individual. Under a national coordinated imposition of federal funding, local school districts have become dependent upon the conditional requirements of conformity to keep the money flowing. Reform is no longer possible. A Federal Department of Education hastens central controls for social compliance. At this point, an education free from public schools, has more value than going through the disinformation that is currently being taught. The errors that are learned in childhood are more difficult to overturn, then if they were never acquired in the first place. So what exactly is the advantage in an education under government approved instructors? If you want to reverse the decay in moral aptitude, you must find alternatives for the education of your children. Common Core pronouncements sound so nice. In spite of this, the key question is whether their program of study teaches the principles of developing good citizens. Lest we forget, a good citizen is an independent thinking and rationally responsible trained advocate of liberty and moral values. Maintaining and expanding a structure of mindless and obedient State compliance is ridiculous. SARTRE is the pen name of James Hall, a reformed, former political operative.

2	Obama Administration Bans Personnel From Saying Christmas The Obama Administration has been heavily criticized for their restrictions on military personnel to say Christmas or express their religious beliefs. Though the holiday is federally-recognized, and celebrated by many of our men and women in uniform, it continues to be demonized by our government. According to reports, the administration has argued that military members should refer to Christmas celebrations as holiday themed activities out of respect for non-Christians. This is just one of many pushes that Obama has made for political correctness in our society. Unfortunately, we are seeing this manifest itself in the military in particularwhich is where, one could argue, a Christian would rely on their faith the most. Navy Chaplain Wes Modder, for instance, was recently reprimanded for discussing religion with military personnel. Over the past few years, military personnel have reported incidents of being told to keep their faith to themselves to avoid offending others. Of course, this begs the question, what harm is done to another by simply being Christian? What do you think? Are you tired of the double standards that exist in this country? Is Obama taking things way too far? 
1	Some kind of raving psychopath apparently gnawed through his restraints and burrowed out of the Massachusetts Center For The Criminally Insane to design the invoice for the Keystone Gas Company, 36-year-old Michael Beasley reported Monday. The gas bill that Beasley (inset) received. 'What animal did this?' said Beasley, paging through a bill for the pay period ending June 2. 'Whoever he is, he's spread an invoice for less than $15 over nine pages.' The new bill divides Beasley's balance into 15 columns with such headings as 'meter degree' and 'date expenditure.' The columns are annotated with footnotes, bar graphs, windows, explanations, and 'hints,' many of which are printed in colors that were obviously selected by a deranged person. 'I just want to know what I owe!' Beasley said. 'Fuel cost adjustment, adjustment to minimum bill, read days, repair range... 'Helping you to understand your repair range'? Is this some kind of sick joke?' Beasley pointed to a section of the bill that detailed payments by mail. 'Residential Monthly Billing Customer Acct. ID B0498-8194-330000-MICHAEL-BEASLEY,' the bill read. 'Affix DEGREE DATE/Meter-ACT-4 stamp (Window 11-B) to Monthly BILLING ID Box (located on Window 15 on outside of Payment Envelope provided by RMBRC packet (See Intro)). RMB Customers using their own envelope see Using Your Own Envelope (Section F).' 'There's actually a section on how to use your own envelope,' Beasley said. 'With rules.' Beasley added: 'This isn't a gas billit's a cry for help. Authored by someone with a disease.' Gale Snow, Keystone Gas public relations director, encouraged customers who are confused by the new bill to refer to the 'Understanding Your New Gas Bill' brochure. 'This thing?' said Beasley, holding up a copy of the 28-page brochure. 'This madhouse? This 24-Hour Polka Marathon at Titicut Follies? Look at it, man. It's a 28-page annotation of a gas bill. The notes to my copy of 'The Waste Land' aren't this arcane.' 'Maybe it was written by someone the gas-bill designer befriended at the asylum,' Beasley added. The designer of the new gas billand possibly the author of its accompanying brochurewas unavailable for comment, probably because he's curled up naked in the crawlspace between floors three and four of Children's Hospital Boston, subsisting on vending-machine candy and doodling with his own feces. 
2	Watch Obama Thank Muslims For Building The Very Fabric Of Our Nation According to recent reports, President Obama just publicly thanked Muslims on the White House website for building the very fabric of our nation. The statement was meant to be a tribute to Eid-al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan and the fasting period. Obama took the occasion as the opportunity to claim that the religion played a role in making America what it is today. According to the White House Statement: In the United States, Eid also reminds us of the many achievements and contributions of Muslim Americans to building the very fabric of our nation and strengthening the core of our democracy. What do you think? Are Obamas comments completely absurd? 
2	65 Year Old Woman Open Fires On Robbers [VIDEO] President Obama is doing everything he can to limit our Second Amendment rights, but stories like this one continue to highlight the importance of the right to protect ourselves. According to recent reports, a 65-year-old woman recently turned the tables on a young thug attempting to rob her outside of her home in Manchester, New Hampshire. Although she has asked for her identity to remain anonymous, the woman did confirm that shes had a concealed carry permit for more than 10 years. Monday night was the first time shes ever fired her gun in that decade. Theres no way in hell I could have overpowered him, she said in an interview just outside of her apartment building. They probably looked at me and thought, oh, look at this older lady, shes little, and thought I was an easy mark. Authorities agree, claiming this is probably why she became the target of 23-year-old Michael Bontaites late one Monday night. According to authorities, Bontaites spotted the woman at a nearby gas station and then followed her into the parking lot of her apartment complex. Bontaites is a whole foot taller and about 100 pounds more than his victim. I said to myself, this is not good, the woman told reporters. I just knew, I just knew. Trusting her instincts, the woman took action before walking to the front door. I decided to take the gun out of my purse and put it in my pocket, she told authorities. When Bontaites ran up behind her and reached for her purse, she fired the gun. She was able to shoot Bontaites in the chest, injuring him without killing him. She does not offer any apologies for trusting her instincts and pulling the trigger. If I didnt have that weapon, God knows where I would be today, I could be dead, she concluded. I had every right to use my weapon. The incident is still under investigation by local authorities. 
1	According to sources close to the injury-plagued Portland Trail Blazers, after a series of knee injuries to center Marcus Camby and All-Star guard Brandon Roy, the team is now officially down to one good knee. 'Normally our strategy is to rest the knee so it can be ready for critical fourth-quarter situations, but right now we're letting LaMarcus Aldridge use it so he can be effective under the basket,' head coach Nate McMillan told reporters, adding that he hopes the Blazers will continue their current winning streak so the knee can be saved for the playoffs. 'Of course, Brandon will need the knee when he comes back, but to be honest, I'm worried that he'll just blow it out.' McMillan added that he has a ton of working ACLs, MCLs, and a couple of good bursa sacs, but without multiple working knees, they're basically useless. 
2	Man Called Racist After Shooting Intruders That Refused To Leave His House Recently, a homeowner in Memphis, Tennessee did what he had to do when two burglars entered his home. According to reports, the homeowner warned the intruders that if they took one more step into his home, he would shoot. The burglars, who have been identified as 18-year-old Jordan Mitchell and 20-year-old Melvin Atkins, ignored the request. They were both shot and killed. Investigators believe there is a third intruder who is still on the loose. Anybody with common sense, if you walk in your house and theres two people in there aint got no business in there, got guns, youd do the same thing he did, the homeowners neighbor spoke out in his defense. This is the second time it happened to him cause the last time not long ago, maybe like a year ago, I hear he came back from work and somebody followed him and beat him up and they took his truck and run away, the neighbor concluded. What do you think? Do you support this homeowner defending his property? 
3	Canada: Selling Its Soul to AmericaStephen Lendman, Contributor Theyre also worried about a country junior partnering with imperial America, Israel, and other rogue NATO allies. A previous article said the following: On September 7, Foreign Minister John Baird said Canada closed its Tehran embassy. It expelled Iranian diplomats in Ottawa. They have five days to leave. He claimed a nonexistent Iranian threat. He took a page from AIPACs playbook. He bogusly called Tehran the gravest threat to global security. He accused Iran of providing increasing military assistance to the Assad regime. He ignored Washingtons war Syria. He said nothing about Canadas role. He didnt explain how America, rogue NATO partners, and regional allies recruit, arm, fund, train, and direct ravaging death squads. He was silent on what matters most. He recited a litany of lies about Iran. He unconscionably pointed fingers the wrong way. Canada is a committed imperial partner. Its one of 28 NATO countries. It supports the worst of Israels crimes. Its on the same slippery slope as America. Its fast-tracking toward fascism. Sleeping with the devil rubs off. Unless stopped, its just a matter of time before Canada crosses a Rubicon of no return. Its perilously close to full-blown imperial/ neoliberal/police state dark age harshness. Conservative and Liberal parties allied with Americas war on terrorism. They stopped short of participating in its Iraq coalition of the willing. They willingly marched in lockstep with its illegal Afghan war of aggression and occupation. In February 2004, they partnered with America and France against Haitis Jean-Bertrand Aristide. They ousted a democratically elected leader. They crushed his popular movement. They ended his progressive reforms. They installed fascist harshness. They had unchallenged pillaging in mind. Canada today operates as an appendage of imperial America. It abandoned its traditional commitment to equality, inclusiveness, and rule of law inviolability. Its plagued by a militaristic/imperial/neoliberal culture. Its no longer a fair arbiter and promoter of just causes. The conservative Harper government is fast-tracking toward fascism. In the 1980s, Canadas downward trajectory began in earnest. Conservative Prime Minister Brian Mulroney bonded with Ronald Reagan. Corporate America remembers his December 1984 address. He appeared at the New York Economic Club. Business heavyweights packed the house to hear him. He didnt disappoint. He said Canada (was) open for business. His meaning was unambiguous. US corporations were welcome. Economic integration would proceed. Americas sovereignty henceforth took precedence over Canadas. Its been downhill ever since. Before Stephen Harper became prime minister in February 2006, Liberal leader Paul Martin tilted hard right. In 2003, he succeeded Jean Chrtien. His 2005 defense policy review stressed integrating Canadas military with Americas. He approved redeploying Canadian Afghan peacekeepers as combatants. Harper maintains the same policy. Canadians have no say. He governs in lockstep with Washington. He abandoned Canadas traditional even-handed Israel/Palestine agenda. In 2006, he threw its democratically elected Hamas government under the bus. Doing so showed contempt for Palestinian rights. He showed no concern for 50,000 Canadians in harms way during Israels war of aggression on Lebanon. He called its death and destruction campaign measured. Post-WW II, things were different. Canadas internationalism evolved. It supported rule of law principles, endorsed peacekeeping, spurned militarism and imperialism, and worked cooperatively with other nations. No longer. Harpers government, Canadian elites, its business community and military support imperial/neoliberal/anti-populist policies. Ottawa replicates Washington. Essential social programs are eroding. Egalitarianism is disappearing. What corporate Canada wants, it gets. Militarism grows stronger. So does police state harshness. Pandering to Washington is policy. Tortured logic follows the same destructive path. McQuaig calls Harper Americas unctuous little sidekick. She compared Canadas government, corporate, and military officials to 19th century compradors. Modern-day ones are subservient US junior partners. Canadas soul went on the auction block for sale. Like Americans, Canadians are force-fed the worst of all possible worlds. Ottawa allied with Washingtons war on Libya. Its partnered against Syria and Iran. It shamelessly supports what it should renounce. Doing so makes it complicit in the supreme crime against peace. Its guilty of crimes of war, against humanity and genocide. Its leaders are war criminals. Iran responded to Canada suspending diplomatic ties. Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said: The decision by Canada showed that this country has sacrificed the interests of its nation for the sake of the Zionists by following their policies against Iran. He called Harpers government racist and hostile. He added: The closure of the visa section of the Canadian Embassy in Tehran, freezing the bank accounts of Iranian nationals living in Canada, and prohibiting money transfers to Iranian students studying in that country are among the Canadian governments numerous hostile measures against the Iranian nation and the Iranian community in Canada. Senior Iranian lawmaker Alaeddin Boroujerdi accused Harper of blindly following Britain, saying: The British government certainly seeks to lead its friends to the same path that it had taken. Therefore, this decision was in fact blind acquiescence by the Canadian government. He added that Canada allied with Washington and Israels attempt to undermine a historic NAM summit in Tehran. It perhaps reacted to its success. He also called on Irans Foreign Ministry to respond in kind. Mehmanparast said expect it to be swift. Britain is part of a US/UK/Israeli troika. Its an axis of evil. Canada supports it. It threatens humanity. Its involved in North African/Middle East/Central Asian imperial wars. It plans more. Independent nonbelligerent countries are targeted. Syrian and Iranian sovereignty are threatened. Almost half a million Iranians live in Canada. Many reside in Toronto. Tehran planned a consulate to serve them. Theyll have no representation now. On Friday, Netanyahu congratulated Harper. He called his move a bold decision, (a) moral step, (a) clear message to Iran and to the entire world. Tehrans successful NAM summit endorsed peace, mutual cooperation, Irans peaceful nuclear program, and national sovereignty. Netanyahu called it a show of anti-Semitism and hate in Tehran. Every time he opens his mouth, he puts his foot in it. He displays racist scorn for Muslims, imperial brazenness, contempt for anyone not Jewish, and hostile rage. Ottawa has had poor relations with Iran since the 1979 revolution. They became strained after former Canadian ambassador Ken Taylor helped rescue six Americans during the 1980 Tehran hostage crisis. In 2003, they were further damaged after dual Canadian/Iranian citizen/freelance photographer Zahra Kazemi died in custody. He was arrested while taking photographs outside a Tehran prison. Canada responded. It recalled its ambassador. Iran ordered him out after unsuccessfully trying to resolve the issue and agree on exchanging ambassadors. Washington severed diplomatic relations in 1980. In November 2011, Britain recalled its entire diplomatic staff. It followed two days of protests. Hundreds of Iranian students staged it outside Londons Tehran embassy. They pulled down Britains flag and demanded its envoys ouster. Without justification, the Cameron government claimed Iranian leaders ordered it. It also expelled its diplomats from London. Days earlier, Tehran downgraded ties to Britain. It was over Londons decision to impose sanctions on Irans Central Bank and false allegations about its nuclear program. Washington, Britain and Israel target Iran for regime change. Top priority ahead is war. Not now, according to Time magazine. On September 5, it headlined, Worried About Israel Bombing Iran Before November? You Can Relax, saying: According to some Israeli analysts, Israels war of choice isnt cancelled. Its delayed. Internal opposition and public opinion are against it. Even Defense Minister Ehud Barak now wavers. Hes not called Mr. Zigzag for nothing. Netanyahu wants Washingtons full commitment. In late September, hell meet Obama in New York. Theyll both address the UN General Assembly. Expect neither to sound benign. Netanyahus saber-rattling bluster long ago wore thin, but not his hostile intent. He and Obama remain on the same page. Differences are mostly over timing and perhaps strategy. For now, the US looks likely to persuade Israel to sit on its hands. Nonetheless, its probably a safe bet that war talk will be revved up again come spring or perhaps earlier post-election. Canadian Foreign Minister Baird didnt explain why he cut diplomatic ties now, not earlier. He denied perhaps knowing that war is more imminent than Time imagines. Unequivocally, we have no information about a military strike on Iran, he said. In the fullness of time, well know. A Final Comment In 1953, Chicago Tribune owner Colonel Robert McCormick called Canadian statesman/diplomat/later prime minister (1963-68)/Nobel Peace Prize laureate (1957) Lester Pearson the most dangerous man in the English-speaking world. It was over Pearsons refusal to cooperate with Senator Joe McCarthys witch-hunt communist hearings. They destroyed lives, ruined careers, accomplished nothing, and led to McCarthys own demise. Pearsons ideas were mirror opposite Harpers and other imperial aggressors. He wanted NATO involved with economic and social issues as well as defense. He supported an alliance for Western free market alternatives to communism. He opposed nuclear weapons. He challenged Washington on policies he believed dangerous, provocative and destructive. In 1955, as Secretary of State for External Affairs, he was the first Western official to visit Moscow. He spoke forcefully against colonial domination. He endorsed sovereign rights for all nations. He supported internationalism, conciliation, and peace. He was a worthy Nobel laureate. His lecture stressed hard facts. Countries have a choice. Peace or extinction is in their hands. He added that nations cannot be conditioned by the force and will of a unit, however powerful, but by the consensus of a group, which must one day include all states. Predatory nations cant be tolerated, he believed. At the same time, he opposed communism and backed efforts to contain it. He erred supporting Washingtons Vietnam War. A later Temple University address challenged Americas Southeast Asian role. Overall, he supported peace and peacekeeping. His Nobel lecture named four faces of peace: prosperity, power, diplomacy and people. As prime minister, peacekeeping was prioritized. Canada has none like him today. Neither do other Western countries. War, not peace, matters most. So does imperial dominance. Ottawas on board with Washington. Its traditions long ago eroded and died. Some wonder what defines it as a nation. Riding shotgun for America and supporting the worst of Israeli lawlessness give them reason for pause.

2	BREAKING: White House Goes On Lock Down Right After Obama Does THIS According to reports released on Monday, the White House was placed on lock down shortly after President Obama returned the executive mansion from his Memorial Day visit to the Arlington National Cemetery. AP Politics broke the news on Twitter, tweeting, Shortly after Obama returns from Arlington, woman throws something over White House fence, sparking a lockdown. Local news reports included sightings of emergency personnelincluding hazard materials teamsresponding to the emergency call from the White House. It is believed that at least one individual tossed a suspicious package over the propertys perimeter wall, but very few additional details have been released. Reporters on the scene indicated that they were temporary blocked from leaving the White house grounds, but were later ushered out through a separate exit. What do you think of these reports? Could something serious be going on? 
2	New Mass Murders Occur, But Heres What Obama Doesnt Want You To Know Last week, the nation mourned the loss of the 10 Christian students who lost their lives in the Umpqua Community College shooting. Within hours of the tragedy, Obama was already using the incident to push his anti-gun agenda. Obama addressed the country in a ridiculous speech, claiming that homicides like this dont happen in other countries. His speech referred to countries like China, and others with dictator-like leaders that allow their citizens very little freedom. Its not unlike Obama to propose a plan that would let him control every move Americans make. Not to mention, his claims are just plain false. 50 people died in September in an attack at a coal mine in Chinas Xinjiang province. What do you think?

2	Fox News Anchor Andrea Tantaros Just Posted THIS Picture At The Beach And Its Gone VIRAL Fox News knows how to appeal to their audience, thats for sure. Not only do they have very handsome men delivering the headlines, but gorgeous, attractive female anchors and reporters hosting various segments and shows. Andrea Tantaros is one of those women. But, if you watch her show, you would know that Tantaros is more than just a pretty face. Graduating from Lehigh University with a double major in French and Journalism, she finished Grad school at the prestigious Sorbonne school in Paris, France. She worked for various Republican senatorial and gubernatorial campaigns before signing on to become a political analyst for Fox News in 2010. Recently, though, she made waves with a picture at the beach that some are calling controversial (though it really is just a picture of a woman in a bikini). The picture shows her constructing a sandcastle, and it quickly went viralshe is a beautiful woman, after all. Beautiful, yes; confident? Even more so. She had some pointed words for President Obama recently: President Obama doesnt care because the White House doesnt care, she said. They dont care about the unemployment rate and they dont care about growth because their number one goal is to make people dependent on the government.In another strong statement, she said: Obama isnt at war with Fox News. Obama is at war with the truth. We think that Tantaros is a beautiful and confident woman, and we applaud her audacity. Are you a fan? Who is your favorite Fox News Host?

1	The residents of Clotts have been getting quite an education in foreign cultures since the recent arrival of immigrant Nigel Edney, a real live Cockney from London, England. And with a colorful accent and a nimble wit to match, this tenacious teabag is fast capturing the hearts of his new neighbors. London-born Nigel Edney has won over the whole town of Clotts, IN, with his quaint British expressions, like, 'Oh, God 'elp me!' and 'Me wife and me baby grandchild are in 'ere! 'Elp! 'Ey're goin' t'die!' ''Elp, 'elp, me 'ouse is on fire!' Edney told the neighbors and members of the news media who had gathered to watch the plucky little gent in his latest misadventure. 'I think it started in the gare-age! Please, ring up the fire brigade, me wife and baby grandchild are in 'ere!' The native population of England, known as the 'British,' are diverse in class and income, but the most lovable of all is the Cockney, a lower-class Londoner. Known as a drinker and carouser, and frequently out of work, the Cockney greets the world with a smile and a saucy wink, for he knows that life is but an elaborate charade. That irreverent yet exuberant attitude was well evident as Edney ran about on his stout little legs and waved his stumpy arms frantically. 'Oh, God, 'elp me!' Edney shouted to his neighbors, who couldn't help but chuckle at Edney's beet-red expression. 'Edna and the li'l lad is in 'at 'ouse! For the love of God, I'm begging you! 'Ey're goin' t'die in 'ere if somebody don't come 'elp!' 'He's just so cute!' said Harriet Gustafson, one of many charmed neighbors. 'He has a little ruddy face and wears his little tweed cap cocked to one side. Just like Andy Capp!' Not surprisingly, Edney's newfound American friends sometimes have a bit of trouble understanding just what the funny fellow is saying. Just last week, Edney complained to his landlord that the 'telly' that came with his 'bed-sit' sometimes shot off 'sparks' and at one point caused his 'drapes' to 'smolder.' 'I still can't figure out what he meant,' shrugged Delmore Properties president Jim Delmore. 'He just talks so crazy!' But even if he doesn't always make himself understood, Edney's hardly one to let that stop him: ''Ere, give us a 'and with this 'ose! No, the 'ose, the 'ose! Oh, dear God, the smoke is just too thick! Oh, poor Edna! And li'l Timmy! 'Elp! Fire! For the love of Godfiremen, please 'urry!' 'Look at him,' neighbor Nancy Marcus cooed. 'With his face all covered in soot and ash, he looks just like one of those chimneysweeps from Mary Poppins!' But, as always, Edney is ever ready with a snappy answer. ''Elp! 'Urry! You sodding, rotten, bloody, uncaring bastards! Rot, I say! Rot in 'ell, the whole bloody stinkin' lot of you!'

Yeah, things are fine at work, the usualbut hey, arent you guys leaving for vacation soon? said Heltman, 26, who while speaking to his father did nothing but redirect discussions of his career, personal finances, and political views to more innocuous areas such as the Kansas City Royals postseason run and Ken Burns recent documentary series The Roosevelts. No, Im still not sure what my plans are for Thanksgiving yet. You going to invite Aunt Jean? Hows she doing?

1	Saying it was vitally important that citizens avoid consuming any of the affected items, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a nationwide recall of all food Wednesday. We are asking all Americans to return any edible products they own to the store where these items were purchased or to discard such items immediately, said FDA commissioner Margaret Hamburg at a morning press conference, specifying that under no circumstances should Americans eat grains, meats, produce, nuts, dairy products, processed foodstuffs, sweets, spices, or any other source of sustenance, nor should they feed any of these foods to animals or leave them within the reach of children. If you are eating something right now, please discontinue doing so. We will let you know when it is okay to consume food again. Hamburg noted that salt, baking soda, and all foods manufactured before 2002 were unaffected by the recall. 
2	BREAKING: Obamas ExPresident Obama has long been rumored to have a homosexual past, which he has carefully covered up to be elected to the White House. Now, Dr. Jerome Corsi, a PHD from Harvard, claims that President Obama was well known as a member of the Chicago gay community, and was often seen in the regular gay bar. He was even reportedly part of the bathhouse scene. In fact, reports indicate that some friends of Barack were surprised to find out that he was even bisexual. What do you think of the reports? Is it possible that Obama is a homosexual? 
1	Baseball experts agreed Thursday that the 2011 MLB season has become a year defined by pitching, hitting, and defense. When people look back on this season, what is really going to stand out is the pure offensive and defensive domination displayed by a talented group of batters, pitchers, and fielders who are playing at a professional level, said MLB Network analyst Peter Gammons, adding that baserunning, team chemistry, and baseball players have also been highlights of 2011. This season proves that if your club can simply outpitch, outhit, and out-field the other team, youre going to have a much better shot at competing. Experts said they expect this trend to continue for the foreseeable future, noting it does not seem likely a season dominated by base coaches is coming anytime soon. 
1	NEW YORKThe U.S. dollar touched a one-month low against the Canadian acorn Monday, continuing a downward trend that began in 2004 with the announcement of the imminent retirement of Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and increasing inflation worries among investors. At the close of trading Monday, the Canadian acorn bought USD $1.1660, up from $1.1593 Friday. Although the value of the U.S. dollar has fallen steadily against the Lithuanian nail and the Estonian crab apple since early this year, many financial experts had predicted that it would hold its own against the acorn. 'The inedible dollar simply does not offer the same long-term security or short-term benefits as the acorn,' said James Aucker of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. 'It is even falling against the Costa Rican pocket, the Latvian thimble, and the German Kinder Surprise Egg, which combines delicious chocolate with a fun, easy-to-assemble toy.' The acorn, a symbol of Canadian lumber futures, is a stable commodity rich in calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and niacin. Patient investors who bury their holdings generally see their investments increased tenfold in the form of great oaks that live for hundreds of years and provide a rich return in acorns. In comparison to the acorn, the dollar is volatile, its value dependent on such relative intangibles as the unpredictable U.S. stock market. According to Aucker, irresponsible domestic trading has hurt the dollar's image in the foreign exchange market. 'The U.S. dollar is often traded for the lottery ticket, an even more worthless paper investment whose chances for any monetary return at all is close to zero,' Aucker said. 'This frivolous spending, combined with the fact that the trade deficit has skyrocketed with the abandonment of the U.S. export industry, has devalued the dollar in the eyes of the foreign investor.' Greenspan, however, defended the strength of the dollar, saying the acorn will adjust during the fall foraging months. 'When millions of ripe acorns fall from the trees, we'll see their value decline sharply,' Greenspan said. 'It will depreciate even more when squirrels begin hibernating, flooding the supply and triggering possible inflation.' Morningstar investment adviser Kimberly Levine dissuaded investors from taking part in the 'acorn bubble.' 'Though it seems reliable, the world acorn capital fluctuates with the turn of every new fiscal season,' Levine said. 'And besides, acorns taste terrible, even after they're roasted.' Despite the dollar's ongoing depreciation, it has still made significant gains on Congolese human life, which after late trading dropped to U.S. $1.2826.

NEW ORLEANS (Dec. 18)Nearly four months since Hurricane Katrina hit ground along the Central Gulf Coast, 40 percent of New Orleans households remain powerless. 'We are dealing with a superstructure created more than two centuries ago,' government spokesman Jason Packer told powerless residents of New Orleans' still-dark 9th Ward. 'Unfortunately, there is no connection we can repair to bring any of you political power at this time, but we are hoping to correct this sometime over the next 50 to 100 years.' Packer added that the blame really does not rest with him, as many of Katrina's victims have been powerless for as many as six generations. 
1	Stressing the importance of physical and mental preparation for their upcoming game against UNLV, a wild-eyed, frenzied Jim Harbaugh reportedly informed all University of Michigan players Saturday that they would have to kill their pregame meal themselves. You have four hours to track, catch, and slaughter your food before kickoff, Harbaugh said during a 7 a.m. team meeting, adding that any tools or weapons must be crafted from materials found in the wilderness, otherwise players would have to use their bare hands. Skipping the pregame meal is not an option. Those who do not catch their meal will not eat. At press time, deliriously starving Michigan starting quarterback Jake Rudock had tackled an elk and ripped its throat out before frantically feasting on its meat.

2	Muslims Now Demanding Special Muslim Welfare... The Details Will Infuriate You According to recent reports, a Somali womens advocacy group in Minnesota has started demanding that the city provide halal food within their food bank for needy Islamic citizens. Halal is food that is permissible to eat under Islamic law. Adding a Halal shelf to the food bank would mean that taxpayers were paying more to accommodate Muslims. The commissioners office has ignored Isuroons requests for review and the community needs to respond to let the public known what has transpired, the group said in a statement. We want to make Commissioner Peter McLaughlin and the public know that we are serious about our need for an Ethnic Food Shelf which provides halal and appropriate nutrition for our community. Surprisingly, the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area has a large Islamic population, the majority of which stem from Somalia. The area is also home to a terrorist recruitment center, and several of its residents have traveled to the Middle East to join ISIS. And although the group is larger compared to other cities, the Islamic population still represents a small minority. What do you think? Should Muslims on Welfare be allowed to dictate their diet? 
2	Ferguson Rioters Target White People To Be Killed, While Chanting Something Sickening Protestors in Ferguson have started calling for more extreme measures, including the death of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson. The demonstrators were heard chanting: Who do you want? Darren Wilson! How do you want him? Dead! According to BizPacReview, the daunting chant was accompanied by assaults on at least one reporter, burned American flags, traffic jams, breaking and entering, and a police being threatened by knife. The escalation of the rioting was sparked by the shooting of Vonderrit D. Myers, a black teen with a lengthy criminal record. According to authorities, Myers fired three times at a white police officer before being shot and killed. While Myers parents claim that their son was innocent and unarmed, police discovered a stolen 9mm handgun at the scene. Later, it was revealed that Myers had a felony gun conviction, and was actually wearing an ankle monitor at the time of his death. Despite these facts, demonstrators have used the young black teens death as more justification for their actions. Their focus in on what they are calling the white hood or one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in St. Louis. What do you think about the escalation of events in Ferguson?

1	During a press event at Arby's headquarters last week, the company officially launched its new $2.99 Grab-N-Go Meal Deal, which allows patrons to go behind the counter at any franchise location and grab as much roast beef as they can with their bare hands. 'We're thrilled to announce an exciting new dining option that lets customers step right into our kitchen and dig hands-first into our famous slow-roasted beef,' spokesman Gavin Milne said while standing in front of a cardboard cutout that depicted Oven Mittthe Arby's mascotcupping a steaming mound of beef slices. 'As soon as we ring up your transaction, you have 15 seconds to grab all the meat you can carry, and however much you manage to bring back across the counter is yours to eatall for under $3! Who could resist?' 'Or why not try our Cheesy Grab-N-Go Meal Deal for just 75 cents more, and we'll let you use one of your hands to scoop as much melted cheese as you'd like from our Bottomless Cheddar Trough,' Milne continued. 'It's that same Arby's taste you love, but piled high in your own two hands.' According to Milne, Grab-N-Go customers will be allowed to dunk their beef-crammed fists into any of several large pails of condiments, including barbecue, ranch, and the chain's signature Horsey Sauce, free of charge. For an extra dollar, company sources confirmed, patrons will be able to select the Arby's 'Max' option, which allows them to plunge right into a juicy roast beef pile with their open mouths and ingest as much as they can within the 15-second time limit. 'Letting people sprint around the counter and take as much roast beef as they are physically able to pick up was really the next logical step in our business model,' CEO Hala Moddelmog said. 'We've found most Arby's customers would rather not hassle with vegetables, buns, or trays. They just want beef, and they want it fast, fresh, and wadded up in their mouths. Meal Deal participants reportedly will be required to keep their pockets turned inside out at all times, and won't be allowed to carry items that could be used to hoard extra meat, such as hats, cargo pants, or pocketbooks. Patrons will also be barred from tucking in their shirts and dumping roast beef down their collars, which the company acknowledged had been a recurring problem in its Dallas and Memphis test markets. Additionally, officials emphasized that customers may not pick up beef that spills onto the floor, as any such droppings remain the property of Arby's and will be promptly returned to the meat pile. Despite these restrictions, Grab-N-Go appears to have generated instant popularity. At Arby's locations nationwide, sources reported similar scenes of long lines, frantic scrambles over beef-laden steam trays, and scores of out-of-breath patrons cradling heaps of meat against their chests. 'I've come here every day since they started this,' said Kansas City customer Roy Arnold, 41, as he enjoyed two dripping handfuls of roast beef while standing over one of the numerous garbage cans that have replaced tables at most Arby's locations. 'After a few times through, you really get the hang of how to use your chin and hands together to keep a big mound from falling over.' 'Lots of times, I'll grab a couple handfuls and put them in the glove compartment so I have something to munch on while I'm driving,' Arnold added. 'Then I fill my cup holder with Horsey Sauce so I can just dip the beef in there. It's really good.' While most patrons lauded the Meal Deal, many noted that the behind-the-counter scrum for roast beef could become chaotic and intense, and that it was essential to be aggressive and defend one's position during the 15-second free-for-all. 'There's a lot of shoving and clawing, and you have to watch out for people trying to steal the meat right out of your hands,' Fresno, CA resident Joanne Hogan said. 'But as long as you hold your ground, it's really an unbeatable deal. See? Just look at all this beef I got!' In the wake of Arby's immediate and overwhelming success, other fast food chains are reportedly rushing to debut their own self-serve dining options. Sources confirmed that for $1.85, Dairy Queen has begun allowing patrons to place their mouths on the soft-serve nozzle and consume as much as they can before they need to take a breath. However, a similar deal at Popeyes was halted recently after the FDA determined the health of the restaurant's clientele would be gravely endangered by the physical activity of walking behind the counter, bending forward, and grasping a piece of fried chicken. 
3	Is Urban Beekeeping Better Than Rural?Heather Callaghan Slowly but surely trending, much like community gardens, is urban beekeeping. Especially as more people find out how doable it is just about anywhere. Surprisingly and best of all in urban areas. Here is a close up view of an urban beekeepers work in Washington state who explains the challenges of keeping bees and the need for it with a major focus on the many rewards. Does it make sense that city beekeeping would actually be more help to the bee population than rural beekeeping? The US and UK have seen a50% bee drop-offin the last 25 years. They pollinate to create 3/4 of the worlds food crops. With the massive loss, especially noticeable beginning 2006, an expert suggested it would take 5-10 years to return to the good ol days of normal bee levels if something was done to help starting now. But again, there are options and powerful ways to help. The quick video below is among the most positive messages about urban beekeeping. The beekeepers explain how city and apartment rooftop keeping is actually healthier for the bees and anyone can do it. For city-kept bees, some of the benefits include: Have you tried keeping bees?

2	Trump Generously Repays Couple Who Helped Him When Limo Broke Down The liberal media likes to portray GOP front-runner Donald Trump as a ruthless and money-hungry businessman with very little heart. But stories continue to surface proving that Trump has been using his wealth to better the world as far back at the early 90s, before he even thought of running for president. Take this story from 1995, for instance, when Trump was traveling on a New Jersey highway and his limousine got a flat tire. A passing motorist stopped to help the businessman. Trump asked how he could repay the man for lending a hand, to which he replied that Trump could send his wife a bouquet of flowers. Trump did send the bouquetbut he went beyond that. With the flowers was a note that said Weve paid off your mortgage. That story has been reported on before, and it highlights Trumps true generositysomething that the media often likes to avoid. I got to know Donald Trump after he spoke at Liberty in 2012, Jerry Falwell Jr., President of Liberty University told Hannity. I learned so much about him that the public never hears. Right after he visited here last time, I called him about a large Christian ministry in another state that needed some help, Falwell continued. I learned within a day or two he had donated $100,000 dollars of his own money. What do you think? Is this what true leadership looks like? 
1	SIOUX CITY, IAThe singed, partially opened, and otherwise unpopped kernels at the bottom of U.S. snack bowls are costing Americans an average of $18 billion every year, FDA sources reported Tuesday. 'The typical pound of popping corn results in an average of 35 'dead' kernels,' FDA deputy commissioner Lester M. Crawford said before Congress. 'Considering the costs of growing, processing, and packaging these kernels, and the heat energy expended in fruitless endeavors to pop them, it's an epic level of waste.' Crawford asked Congress to double funding for the FDA's $200 million old-maid-elimination research project. 
1	Joining a field already crowded with such non-caloric beverages as Coke Steam and Hollo Yello, PepsiCo announced the creation Monday of Pepsi Negative-220, a diet cola that burns twice the calories it contains. 'You'll love PN-220 for the super-slimming rush of thyrotropin, PC1 enzymes, and that zesty hint of lemony leptin that zaps away fat, muscle tissue, and some nerve sheathing,' PepsiCo spokesperson Ned Caen said. 'But you'll drink it for that refreshing cola taste.' Despite an FDA label warning of potential cardiac arrhythmia, renal shutdown, intestinal necrosis, and spontaneous erosion of the meninges, plans are underway to debut Pepsi Negative-220 in early October. 'For radical and uncompromising weight loss, it's the cola,' Caen said. 
3	The Real Reasons We Dropped Atom Bombs on JapanBy David Redick 1) It all started with FDRs concern that Germany might beat England and France, and emerge as a world power, and thus be close to, or stronger than, the USA. Thus, he wanted to get into WW2 and be a winner. This was part of maintaining and growing Empire-USA. Its an old story in history that leaders use lies to start or join wars for economic and political reasons (empire), not defense. See our record in my article 13 Lies: An Abbreviated History of U.S. Presidents Leading Us to War. To create an incident to justify going to war, FDR poked Japan for years (ended scrap metal shipments to them, etc. ) until the Japanese military demanded the Emperor allow a strike on the United States. FDR didnt know whether it would be the Aleutians or HI, as long as it gave him a reason to start war. The US intercepted the Japanese code and knew when they were coming to Pearl Harbor, but withheld it from US commanders in the Pacific so they could not prepare and minimize the damage. See book Day of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor. May 8, 2001; by Robert Stinnett. 2a) Amazon info on Stinnetts book is: It was not long after the first Japanese bombs fell on the American naval ships at Pearl Harbor that conspiracy theories began to circulate, charging that Franklin Roosevelt and his chief military advisors knew of the impending attack well in advance. Robert Stinnett, who served in the U.S. Navy with distinction during World War II, examines recently declassified American documents and concludes that, far more than merely knowing of the Japanese plan to bomb Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt deliberately steered Japan into war with America. Stinnetts argument draws on both circumstantial evidencethe fact, for example, that in September 1940 Roosevelt signed into law a measure providing for a two-ocean navy that would number 100 aircraft carriersand, more importantly, on American governmental documents that offer apparently incontrovertible proof that Roosevelt knowingly sacrificed American lives in order to enter the war on the side of England. Although obviously troubled by his discovery of a systematic plan of deception on the part of the American government, Stinnett does not take deep issue with its outcome. Roosevelt, he writes, faced powerful opposition from isolationist forces, and, against them, the Pearl Harbor attack was something that had to be endured in order to stop a greater evilthe Nazi invaders in Europe who had begun the Holocaust and were poised to invade England. Sure to excite discussion, Stinnetts book offers what may be the final word on the terrible matter of Pearl Harbor. 2b) More comments on the Stinnett book from Publishers Weekly: Historians have long debated whether President Roosevelt had advance knowledge of Japans December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor. Using documents pried loose through the Freedom of Information Act during 17 years of research, Stinnett provides overwhelming evidence that FDR and his top advisers knew that Japanese warships were heading toward Hawaii. The heart of his argument is even more inflammatory: Stinnett argues that FDR, who desired to sway public opinion in support of U.S. entry into WWII, instigated a policy intended to provoke a Japanese attack. The plan was outlined in a U.S. Naval Intelligence secret strategy memo of October 1940; Roosevelt immediately began implementing its eight steps (which included deploying U.S. warships in Japanese territorial waters and imposing a total embargo intended to strangle Japans economy), all of which, according to Stinnett, climaxed in the Japanese attack. Stinnett, a decorated naval veteran of WWII who served under then Lt. George Bush, substantiates his charges with a wealth of persuasive documents, including many government and military memos and transcripts. Demolishing the myth that the Japanese fleet maintained strict radio silence, he shows that several Japanese naval broadcasts, intercepted by American cryptographers in the 10 days before December 7, confirmed that Japan intended to start the war at Pearl Harbor. Stinnett convincingly demonstrates that the U.S. top brass in HawaiiPacific Fleet commander Adm. Husband Kimmel and Lt. Gen. Walter Shortwere kept out of the intelligence loop on orders from Washington and were then scapegoated for allegedly failing to anticipate the Japanese attack (in May 1999, the U.S. Senate cleared their names). Kimmel moved his fleet into the North Pacific, actively searching for the suspected Japanese staging area, but naval headquarters ordered him to turn back. Stinnetts meticulously researched book raises deeply troubling ethical issues. While he believes the deceit built into FDRs strategy was heinous, he nevertheless writes: I sympathize with the agonizing dilemma faced by President Roosevelt. He was forced to find circuitous means to persuade an isolationist America to join in a fight for freedom. This, however, is an expression of understanding, not of absolution. If Stinnett is right, FDR has a lot to answer fornamely, the lives of those Americans who perished at Pearl Harbor. Stinnett establishes almost beyond question that the U.S. Navy could have at least anticipated the attack. The evidence that FDR himself deliberately provoked the attack is circumstantial, but convincing enough to make Stinnetts bombshell of a book the subject of impassioned debate in the months to come. ( Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. ) 3) FDR and other key officials in DC were purposely unavailable (golf, etc.) when the U.S. Hawaiian commander called DC to ask for orders because he knew the Japanese attack was underway. Thus we were unprepared (no planes in the air, battleships at sea, etc.) and our bases, planes, and ships were sitting ducks, causing more damage and death. I say the above facts should profoundly alter our understanding of Pearl Harbor, one of the most significant events in American history. Read more here. Plus, there are other books showing FDR wanted the attack. Some compare 9/11 as a similar event. 4) Dropping the atom bomb on Japan was also justified with lies from DC. Key issues are; 4a) The war was over (because of our fire-bombing, their lack of food and war materials, etc.) except the Japanese wanted to keep Hirohito as emperor as a condition of surrender. We refused, but it ended up this way even after the bombs. 4b) We wanted to drop a bomb on a real city (not just a Pacific island or in New Mexico) to see what happened to the people and structures. Thus, it was an EVIL engineering test!! It also showed the world what we had! 4c) We wanted to scare Russia with our new bomb so they wouldnt enter Japan from the North, and prevent us from occupying ALL of Japan. Conclusion: I consider part 4 above as the true tragic and immoral reasons we dropped the atom bombs! As discussed in part 1 above, it requires a good dose of cynicism to figure-out what government leaders are planning. A better approach is to stop our costly and immoral wars and occupations for building and maintaining Empire-USA. ALL empires fail, and we are now in the failure phase of ours. Refer to my article The Phases of an Empire. Lets not glorify our illegal and immoral wars for empire. Neocons, big government conservatives, and Obama-types like to describe our foreign ventures as saving the world from chaos, and fulfilling our role as an exceptional nation. I suggest we invoke a non-interventionist foreign policy, with a strong homeland defense, and sound money using the gold standard (this ends creation of money out of thin air; wars are expensive). This is certain to provide more Liberty, Peace, and Prosperity to the USA and other nations. The politicians who lose money and power under this plan can seek honest work elsewhere! Image Credit Dave Redick is a businessman, engineer, economist, and author of books and essays aimed at bringing more Liberty, Peace, and Prosperity to the USA and world. See more of his work at www. Forward-USA.org. The Japanese went through several formal diplomatic channels in an attempt to arrange a surrender, however, the fix was in a demonstration of the horrors of nuclear war had already been decided by the apex globalists. In the early 1900s the global elite were already plotting how bring about global governance and a main theme, long before the Manhattan project, was the notion of creating a superweapon of mass destruction to force the world to unite under a monolithic system. A young impressionable Harry Truman read stories by elitist fiction writer H.G. Wells (an ardent UN proponent) and others glorifying this meme and for more than 50 years he carried an apocalyptic Tennyson poem as described in P.D. Smiths remarkable book Doomsday Men, The Real Dr. Strangelove and Dream of the Superweapon. In 1910, the young Missouri farmer had read a poem that so impressed him that he wrote out part of it on a piece of paper and kept it in his wallet for the next fifty years. As the paper became worn and tattered, Truman recopied these lines. He did this thirty or forty times. On his way to the Potsdam conference in 1945 he took out this piece of paper and read the poem again. In its words he found reassurance that the terrible weapon that would soon be dropped on an unsuspecting Japanese city would ultimately lead to a new world order. These were the lines that President Truman treasured so dearly: For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see, and no mention of love. love is hidden until spoken, until mentioned. It radiates via its tenor of speak.then it comes alive.and not untilTo be its true dimension, it must be defended.and when that happensall change is for the good..every time, no exception. Untainted grace and benevolence needs no words. It also is antithetical to fear based control and thus deception. Untainted grace and benevolence needs no words Those who have thisgift to all, and understand and recognize it,,,yes, you are correct but for the masses,,,,,this state of love needs words and words and words and wordscause, thats the nature of Love..show me the way and there I am.and all the wonder thereafter I remain, amazed at the semblance of nations to govern via forceas recorded throughout written history.(at least most of it).when in fact all such efforts have ended in the destruction of the states themselves..seems power, just can not get itself around that four letter word..Love. perhaps sri yukteswar has the answer. he claims the distance of our sun to its parent body(maybe alcyone)effects our spiritual development. the further away it is makes us forget the spiritual life. interesting. Worth reading. First time I have been introduced to the book. Its good to see an article reminding us of the unnecessary horrors of the bombs dropped on Japan. Unfortunately, Stinnett apparently promotes the false notion that the US had to get into the war to stop the evil Nazis when we know well that the global elite supported and funded the rise of the Nazis and also our communist nemeses Russia and China responsible for atrocities and mass genocide on their own people. The amount of needless suffering and death through contrived wars with nation states used as mere pawns boggles the mind. BTW, the Russians were handed generous gifts after WWII and their corrupt leaders knew exactly what the great game was. I am not in support of Russiaof though, WW2 history, if Russia had not defeated the Germans assult upon its land, loosing some 20 million in so doing, world war two may have ended much worse.Russia must be given credit for those defeats of Germany.. We cannot return to gold. The amount needed to account for the renunciations of our people is not there. The elite have swindled away the gold taken in 1933. Anyone having claim via say a twenty dollar gold certificate, literally has nothing but worthless paper. Resetting our economic system to gold sounds fine. It hurts everyone though and not merely the elites. Those who have not would still have not. And you can guarantee the elites will not open their private vaults for assessment ensuring they have the gold they say they do. Either way, if we still have to still use money, we lose. It keeps returning to _matter of confidence_ for the commoners and the elite are still in charge. We end up right back to where we are. Revolution, is cyclic like that, it continually returns to the null sum. We need a forward going evolution instead. And we need to recall this always, revolutions do revolve, go in circles. That logic does not work. If it did wed be a lot better off than we are. absolutely cant go back to the gold standard or precious metals, either of any sort. Now finally man must confront his own inner selfand when he does, if the outcome of that confrontation can not reconcile with the part of humanity, which has gotten us this far, with as much lasting resonance as violence, and I am speaking of Love..if we cannot reconcile with that part of our each, inner being, in a manner or deserved observation, then we all loose and our race will eventually do itself into the ground for good First learn the difference between loose and lose. whats this holocaust that is mentioned? Is that another way of saying typhus? you should also understand the reasoning of Hitler and his regime when it came to avoiding war. All history is a lie. THis bit of truth is refreshing but it is still filled with inaccuracies If you want to get an education on how the Japanese came to attack the USA, you need to understand that the seeds of war were sown by president Roosevelt NOT Franklin, but Teddy! Read the remarkable book The Imperial Cruise by James Bradley. 
1	Palm Bay High School freshman Keith Ness said the overwhelming sexual tension he experiences daily between himself and roughly 3.65 billion other people on earth has become 'almost more than [he] can handle.' Ness says he experiences 'powerful, electric' sexual energy from almost exactly half the people he encounters. 'At first, I didn't even take much notice of the world around me,' said the 15-year-old of the charged but nebulous relationship he has enduredwith a majority of the human population. 'But then, I found myself staring at the sexy way everyone walked down the hall, jogged in the park, or sat down at the bus stop. Something about that blond, brown, or red hair tied back, pinned up, or dreadlocked, really gets me going.' 'It's driving me crazy having to sit here while the world tempts me in those formfitting, playfully conservative, or woolen, shapeless outfitsI can't take much more of this,' Ness added. Though Ness said he would like to think the world is at least in some way aware of how he feels, he at times despairs that it is oblivious to his desires. 'It's so hard to concentrate on my social studies homework sometimes, when all I can do is wonder if the librarian with the noisy high heels even knows I exist,' Ness said. 'Same goes for the silhouette of that girl dancing in the iPod commercial, and whoever it is who keeps clearing her throat in one of the back pews at church. But then again, you don't just go around smelling like lilacs, moisturizer, Chanel No. 5, or the slightest hint of perspiration masked by baby powder for no reason.' Ness further speculated that the aloof cashier, the seemingly indifferent parking attendant, and the cruel senior volleyball-team captain were probably just having a bad day. Still, Ness maintained that he is always on the lookout for signs of interest, and claimed he was determined make his feelings public. 'I have no idea where to start, but there's so much about the rest of the world I'd like to get to know better,' Ness said. 'I think about it every time I see the world's blue gym shorts with white piping, the belly-dancing aerobic exercise videos, the curvy shape of the lower back on the diagram of the human body in my biology textbook, or contemplate the concept of 'fishnet.'' 'God, there's just so much,' he added. According to Ness, the situation has been further confused by the feelings he has for much of the inanimate world, including the family lawn mower, which he associates with watching his neighbor Tina sunbathe on a large yellow beach chair while he cut the grass last August; an old dryer outside a neighbor's home, which reminds him of a story he heard at camp about people making out in a laundry room; and posters of the cast of the television program Lost, which he associates with the cast of Lost. 'How am I supposed to live in the same house as the Sunday newspaper considering my undying but unexpressed love for the underwear ads?' Ness said. The teenager has also expressed concern that his intentions toward his mother's friends, the mail carrier, schoolmate Brian Graney's cousin who visited from Iowa last spring, Natalie Portman, Florida congresswoman Katherine Harris, R&B singer Kelis, and several fictional comic-book heroines, will somehow be misinterpreted. 'I'd hate for the world to think I'm some kind of creep,' he said. 'I just happen to be very, very interested.' Ness explained that he has recently been frustrated by the way the world casts sultry glances at him, coyly does not look at him at all, and walks toward or away from him seductively. 'What more can I do?' he said. 'It doesn't matter to me if the world is a little overweight or much, much older, or taller, or a different race, or simply lives thousands of miles away.We just need to admit that there's something between us, and that we'd all regret it if we let it pass us by.' Frustrated by the situation, Ness said he was gearing up to broach the subject of his desires in algebra class, at an upcoming walk for hunger, in the produce aisle, ordering Chinese food, or on a message board for home-schooled Christian teens, by writing a heartfelt poem, buying tickets to a romantic movie, sending flowers, playfully tossing crumpled-up balls of paper, telling a mutual friend how he feels, or quietly willing it to happen, either later today, tomorrow, Wednesday afternoon, Saturday morning, next Friday, right after Thanksgiving dinner, early next month, certainly before the new year, or whenever he feels ready.

2	Hillary Clintons Worst Nightmare Comes True... Shes In Trouble Hillary Clinton was hit with some devastating news this week when the infamous Romanian hacker known as Gufficer revealed that he repeatedly broke into her personal email server in early 2013, while she was still Secretary of State. For me, it was easyeasy for me, for everybody, Marcel Lehel Lazar, who goes by Guccifer, told Fox News from the Virginia jail cell where he is being held. The Clinton campaign was quick to respond to the interview in an attempt at damage control. There is absolutely no basis to believe the claims made by this criminal from his prison cell, the statement read. In addition to the fact he offers no proof to support his claims, his descriptions of Secretary Clintons server are inaccurate. It is unfathomable that he would have gained access to her emails and not leaked them the way he did to his other victims. Still, Lazar maintains that he first compromised Clintons pal Sidney Blumenthals AOL account in March of 2013. He argues he used that account to get access to Clintons server. He claims that the content was not interesting to him at the time. I was not paying attention, Guccifer claims. For me, it was not like the Hillary Clinton server, it was like an email server she and others were using with political voting stuff. If this is true, it wont look good for Hillary in her battle with the FBI. What do you think of these new claims?

2	BREAKING: Trump Releases Devastating News... It Should Not Have To Come To This According to recent reports, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was forced to cancel one of his signature rallies on Friday, claiming that he didnt want to see people get hurt. When the announcement was made, a crowd of protesters outside of the University of Illinois at Chicago Pavilion broke out into cheers. Contrastingly, supporters of Trump started chanting, We want Trump! We want Trump! There were some physical altercations between the two groups reported, but it was likely significantly less than if Trump had moved forward. In an interview with Fox News Greta Van Susteren, Trump claimed that he arrived in Chicago two hours before and more than 25,000 people were trying to enter the arena. I didnt want to see people get hurt (so) I decided to postpone the rally, Trump comment, saying he met with law enforcement authorities. What we did was intelligent. A very good decisiona wise decision. If we had the rally, I think it would not have been a good situation. Still, he argued, the entire situation was disturbing. Our First Amendment rights have been violated, he commented. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, on the other hand, argued that the legendary businessman brought it on himself by creating an environment that encourages this of nasty discourse. When the candidate urges supporters to engage in physical violence, to punch people in the face, the predictable consequence of that is that it escalates, Cruz told reporters. Today is unlikely to be the last such incidence. I have the right to speak and they have a right to listen, Trump shot back. What do you think? Is this absolutely inexcusable?

2	BREAKING: Chipotle Bows Down To Muslims, Stops Serving Pork Following the terrorist attacks in France, fear of Islamist extremism and potential attacks has risen to an all-time high. According to recent reports, a major chain just stopped selling pork products. Chipotle recently announced that they would no longer be selling pork, an action that is rumored to be a response to Muslim demands. However, according to the restaurant, their pork supplier simply wasnt living up to animal welfare standards. Without this pork, we cannot get enough pork that meets our responsibly raise standard for all our restaurants, claims Chris Arnold, a spokesman for Chipotle, and we will not be able to serve carnitas in some locations. What do you think? Is Chipotle telling the truth or are they hiding the true motivation behind their actions? 
2	Hollywood Told Matthew Mcconaughey Not To Talk About God, But He Refused During Matthew McConaughey Academys Best Actor award speech, he praised God for his win, a move that few make in acceptance speeches. Voices in Christian media praised his speech, arguing that it took courage. First off I want to thank God because thats who I look up to, McConaughey, who won the Best Actor award for his portrayal of AIDS patient Ron Woodruff in Dallas Buyers Club, declared at the Academy Awards. McConaughey also mentioned that God has graced my life with opportunities that I know are not of my hand or any other human hand. He quoted the late British Actor Charlie Laughton When you got God, you got a friend and that friend is you. A great count of twitter users reacted negatively to McConaugheys acknowledgment of the great man upstairs. Ok so you really deserved it McConaughey. Just stop the stupid god talk, one tweeted. I thought we could get through the Oscars without someone thanking god but no he had to ruin it, another responded. Gainor argued that the actors reference to God took a great deal of courage. Hes a young guy, he just won an Oscar arguably at the high point of his career, Gainor noted. Thats like saying you just won the Super Bowl and youre going to thank God on national television. Do you support his public act of gratitude towards god for his work? What are your thoughts? 
2	CNN Reporter Goes Rogue DESTROYS Obama In Front Of Everyone At Press Conference The mainstream media has relentlessly defended President Obama when it comes to his policies and executive action. Now, it seems like that may be changing as concerns over ISIS escalate. Particularly in question are some comments Obama made at the G-20 Summit in Antalya, Turkey, when he was asked some tough questions by CNN reporter Jim Acosta. Acosta accused Obama of underestimating ISIS capabilities, commenting on Obamas claims that the terrorist group had been contained. How is that contained, quite frankly? Acosta asked, referring to the attack is Paris. I guess the question is, and if youll forgive the language, is why cant we take out these bastards? Well, Jim, I just spent the last three questions answering that very question, so I dont know what more you want me to add, Obama concluded. What do you think? Are you sick of Obama skirting the truth? 
3	Barack Obama and the Monsanto betrayalJon Rappoport From Scott Creighton, Obama Pitches India Model of GM Genocide to Africa: At the G8 Summit held two weeks ago at Camp David, President Obama met with private industry and African heads of state to launch the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition, a euphemism for monocultured, genetically modified crops and toxic agrochemicals aimed at making poor farmers debt slaves to corporations, while destroying the ecosphere for profit. But African civil society wants no part of this latest Monsanto aligned public private partnership. Whatever will the progressives do now that their flawless hero has teamed up with their most hated nemesis [Monsanto] to exploit an entire continent like they did to India not that long ago? With a commitment of $3 billion, Obama plans to partner up with mega-multinationals like Monsanto, Diageo, Dupont, Cargill, Vodafone, Walmart, Pepsico, Prudential, Syngenta International, and Swiss Re because, as one USAID representative says There are things that only companies can do, like building silos for storage and developing seeds and fertilizers. Of course, thats an outrageous lie. Private citizens have been building their own silos for centuries. But its true that only the biowreck engineers will foist patented seeds and toxic chemicals on Africa. Support self-sufficiency for the small farmer? Expand the number of small farms growing nutritious and non-toxic food? Never heard of it. Not on the agendaexcept in false propaganda statements and promises. No, instead, the idea is putting small farmers into debt to Monsanto for GMO seeds and highly toxic herbicides, so they can grow (until they go bankrupt) noxious GMO food crops. Small farms will eventually be snapped up by big ag corporations. Obama? A warrior against corporations on behalf of the people? Its long past the time for ripping that false mask away. During his 2008 campaign for president, Barack Obama transmitted signals that he understood the GMO issue. Several key anti-GMO activists were impressed. They thought Obama, once in the White House, would listen to their concerns and act on them. These activists werent just reading tea leaves. On the campaign trail, Obama said: Let folks know when their food is genetically modified, because Americans have a right to know what theyre buying. Making the distinction between GMO and non-GMO was certainly an indication that Obama, unlike the FDA and USDA, saw there was an important line to draw in the sand. Beyond that, Obama was promising a new era of transparency in government. He was adamant in assuring that, if elected, his administration wouldnt do business in the old way. He would be responsive to peoples needs. Then came the reality. After the election, people who had been working to label GMO food and warn the public of its huge dangers were shocked to the core. They saw Obama had been pulling a bait and switch. After the 2008 election, Obama filled key posts with Monsanto people, in federal agencies that wield tremendous force in food issues, the USDA and the FDA: At the USDA, as the director of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, Roger Beachy, former director of the Monsanto Danforth Center. As deputy commissioner of the FDA, the new food-safety-issues czar, the infamous Michael Taylor, former vice-president for public policy for Monsanto. Taylor had been instrumental in getting approval for Monsantos genetically engineered bovine growth hormone. As commissioner of the USDA, Iowa governor, Tom Vilsack. Vilsack had set up a national group, the Governors Biotechnology Partnership, and had been given a Governor of the Year Award by the Biotechnology Industry Organization, whose members include Monsanto. As the new Agriculture Trade Representative, who would push GMOs for export, Islam Siddiqui, a former Monsanto lobbyist. As the new counsel for the USDA, Ramona Romero, who had been corporate counsel for another biotech giant, DuPont. As the new head of the USAID, Rajiv Shah, who had previously worked in key positions for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a major funder of GMO agriculture research. We should also remember that Obamas secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, once worked for the Rose law firm. That firm was counsel to Monsanto. Obama nominated Elena Kagan to the US Supreme Court. Kagan, as federal solicitor general, had previously argued for Monsanto in the Monsanto v. Geertson seed case before the Supreme Court. The deck was stacked. Obama hadnt simply made honest mistakes. Obama hadnt just failed to exercise proper oversight in selecting appointees. He wasnt just experiencing a failure of short-term memory. He was staking out territory on behalf of Monsanto and other GMO corporate giants. And now let us look at what key Obama appointees have wrought for their true bosses. Lets see what GMO crops have walked through the open door of the Obama presidency. Monsanto GMO alfalfa. Monsanto GMO sugar beets. Monsanto GMO Bt soybean. Coming soon: Monsantos GMO sweet corn. Syngenta GMO corn for ethanol. Syngenta GMO stacked corn. Pioneer GMO soybean. Syngenta GMO Bt cotton. Bayer GMO cotton. ATryn, an anti-clotting agent from the milk of transgenic goats. A GMO papaya strain. And perhaps, soon, genetically engineered salmon and apples. This is an extraordinary parade. It, in fact, makes Barack Obama the most GMO-dedicated politician in America. You dont attain that position through errors or oversights. Obama was, all along, a stealth operative on behalf of Monsanto, biotech, GMOs, and corporate control of the future of agriculture.

2	Michelle Obamas Harsh Message To Americans In February, First Lady Michelle Obama decided to join the Tom Joyner Morning Show to discuss B;acl History Month and the Affordable Care Act. She looped the two narratives together by claiming that one in five folks in the black community are uninsured. She also went on to claim that the ACA website has been improved, with language that is easy to understand. Of course, she also gave her usual pitch about the cost-saving measures of the Act. She even pointed to how the website offers access to affordable private insurance plans, not government plans, which she believed would force insurers to become more competitive. She compared the plan to car insurance claiming, You have to insure your car in this country, correct? Why do we treat our cars better than we treat our bodies. Finally, she left them with this final message: If theres somebody in your life, a young person in particular, who thinks Nah, I dont need it. I dont want to spend that money, you got to shake them and make them understand that this isnt a joke. 
1	Hoping to address the issue of long hair obscuring players' names and numbers, NFL owners passed a new rule wherein players would be restricted to one of three league-approved hairstyles. 'People don't come to games to watch tufts of hair make tackles and score touchdowns; they come to watch the colorful uniforms do it,' said 49ers coach Mike Nolan of the new rule, which will limit players to No. 2 grade buzz cuts, No. 1 grade 'high-and-tight' cuts, and Johnny Unitas-style flattops. 'These three haircuts embody the class, dignity, and discipline that has always been associated with NFL football players. Frankly, I thought three was too many; buzz cuts hint at a sense of individuality that has absolutely no place in football.' NFL owners will next vote on a rule proposal that would strike names from players' uniforms, contracts, and birth certificates. 
2	Donald Trump Protestors Party Just Came To A Screeching Halt... Its All Over In the weeks since Donald Trump was officially announced our nations president-elect, Hillary Clinton supporters have been launching violent protests in major cities throughout the country. Now, it appears they could finally be facing consequences for their actions. Doug Ericksen, the Republican state senator from Washington, has put forward a proposal to make it illegal to participate in protests that block transportation, damage property, or put public safety at risk. Participating in what he calls economic terrorism would be a felony and the law would also apply to anyone who funds or organizes a protest. The last time I check, protesting was a First Amendment right related to free speech, Seattles mayor, Ed Murray, commented on the matter. Still, Ericksen insists his proposal has no impact on our rightspeople will still have the right to peaceably assemble. Nothing in the Preventing Economic Terrorism Act in any way impacts a persons right to protest peacefully, he commented, adding that the bill recognizes the financial costs to small business and big ones alike are significant, especially when the protests turn violent. What do you think of Ericksens proposal? Should violent rioters be held accountable for their crimes? 
3	Being Health Conscious Makes You The New Conspiracy Theorist!!Bernie Suarez The propaganda began at least a century ago, accelerated after the creation of the CIA and became more pronounced targeting American people after the JFK assassination as described in CIA document 1035-960. Specifically the techniques, which we see employed today all the time by mainstream media and CIA assets/online trolls, include: Today of course, we need only to remove the references to JFK in this document and insert the current issue of the time and this document comes to life nicely. Remember, government and its globalist masters sit around and have meetings to decide what topics will fall under the banner of conspiracy theory and which will not. To anyone wide awake its much simpler to understand it this way: If a story or accusation interferes with the final new world order plans then its a conspiracy, if it doesnt then its a different point of view or a debate. The first thing everyone should understand about conspiracy theories is that you dont get to decide what topics fall under this category, they do. And because they (government) decide, weve now seen the subjective, fictitious, propaganda-based definition of conspiracy theorist morph dramatically over the last few decades. As mentioned before, we were first led to believe that conspiracy theorists were lunatics in basements separated from society, claiming things that were not proven while actually being wrong about everything. These people were supposed to have been essentially mentally diseased. The conspiracy theorist then evolved into anyone who questioned 9/11 or any other new world order related false flag event. For years CIAs mainstream media had worked hard to give the perception that conspiracy theorist represented a tiny percentage of Americans. But as the years went by, millions all over the U.S. and the world started waking up, and now the government and its media mouthpiece started feeling the pressure. The dilemma was, and still is, how to portray this growing number of awakened individuals / conspiracy theorists as an insignificant small group of people, while at the same time adding more and more people to the group by deliberately expanding the topics that make you a conspiracy theorist. The dilemma of this situation was finally addressed by CIAs Newsweek in a desperate article by Kurt Eichenwald May of 2014 entitled The Plots to Destroy America. In the article, Eichenwald, with seeming foreknowledge of the measles vaccine dilemma that was coming later in the year as a result of CDC whistleblower Dr William W Thompsons testimony admitting the measles vaccine link to autism in African American children, had this to say about the measles (exposed) vaccine: Eichenwald rolls on explaining: As can be seen, the article identifies such a wide spectrum of beliefs under the new conspiracy theory umbrella that one might suspect this could arguably represent 75-99% of Americans. The list is long and includes anyone who doesnt agree with Agenda 21, Common Core, the Bin Laden death hoax, the dangers of cell phones and more. So many are the topics that the average American could and would potentially find at least one belief to agree with on the list, thus officially making them a conspiracy theorist. The only strategy Eichenwald and the CIA fall back on is the notion that, yes, we admit a lot of people are suffering from the mental disease of conspiracy theories (translation: waking up), and because this large amount of people (who are waking up) are starting to represent a possible majority, they are a danger to America (translation: The new world order plans). Thus, in this article the globalists and their CIA-approved writer are on the one hand admitting that everyone is waking up, while at the same time still appealing to their audience that essentially everyone is crazy and dangerous but you can still be normal by obeying. This is proof that a lot more people are awake than the media is willing to admit. Sadly, the ongoing agenda of CIAs mainstream media and government is not letting up by any means in 2015 and beyond as can be seen by the media almost psychopathic attack on those who want to seek a healthy lifestyle. We are regularly now seeing those who DONT want to ingest fluoride into their bodies accused of being conspiracy nuts. Anyone who understands the compounds in vaccines admitted by the CDC and doesnt want those toxins to go into their body is now a conspiracy theorist nut. Anyone who doesnt want to eat genetically modified organisms and damage their own DNA, or even take the chance of damaging their own DNA is now a conspiracy theorist. Just the element of not having faith in corporate cronies and dirty lying corrupt politicians is enough to get you on the conspiracy theorist list. The definition of conspiracy theorist has in fact reached new levels never imagined by the average person. Simply wanting to eat only natural food and not take in any known toxins into your body of any kind (above and beyond vaccines), according to CIAs mainstream media and government, is enough to get you labeled as a conspiracy theorist nut. Yes, we are finally reaching a point in history where it is almost officially impossible to not be a conspiracy theorist unless you agree to being poisoned! This is what happens when a state who has open plans for a new world order and massive stated depopulation goals can control reality with their ministry of truth propaganda media. If there is anything good to take from all this it is that with stupid moves like this the corporate media will hopefully turn more and more people against it. Obviously everyone wants to live a happy, healthy life. Why would we not? If there is even a tiny chance that genetically modified foods and vaccines with known toxins in them could harm you, why would we not want to exercise our own personal judgment on whether or not we want this for our kids, our loved ones and ourselves?? Reason for hope The pure insanity of the new world order psychopaths is truly upon us and we are seeing them in action in real-time. So many of us are awake and we all know we will never go along with any of this monkey business. Our duty is, therefore, to continue waking up as many people as possible. Our voices are strong and getting stronger every day, while their voices (the mainstream media) are dying. Spread the word, tell your family and friends that they are all conspiracy theorists if they believe in health. Lets make sure this is the (hopefully) final Intelligence blunder of the globalists. The blunder of thinking they could take over our own bodies, tell us what to eat and even what to inject into our own bodies. Hopefully the magnitude of this personal psychological insult will be the final straw to break the new world orders back. Hopefully humanity is observing, reading, learning and taking notes. We are all now getting a blueprint for tyranny. Weve seen all the steps in slow motion. We now know all their moves. Lets take advantage of this bold yet ridiculous expansion of conspiracy theorist and see how far we can take the awakening process this time. Most important of all, lets not forget that this battle of information does have an ending date. Perhaps this is the beginning of the end for the Orwellian empire of deceit that seeks permanent world power. 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	The American Bankers Association and the Quiet War on StudentsDevon Douglas-Bowers So far very little legislation has been passed to aid students in paying back their loans, and many blame politicians. However, the situation goes deeper than this and lies, in part, with a little-known institution called the American Bankers Association. According toits website, the ABA is the voice of the nations $14 trillion banking industry, which is composed of small, regional and large banks that together employ more than 2 million people, safeguard $11 trillion in deposits and extend nearly $8 trillion in loans. The ABA believes that laws and regulations should be tailored to correspond to a banks charter, business model, geography and risk profile. While its obvious that the American Bankers Association works in the interest of bankers, the organization has an intriguing history regarding student loans and the way it has actively fought against the interests of students. Not in the Interest of Education The ABAs war against students started in the mid-1960s, during the Lyndon Johnson administration. President Johnson ordered the formation of a task force to examine the role of the federal government in higher education, specifically student aid, to be headed by John W. Gardner. In its report,the task force noted, Of the students who did not attend college and who had families who could contribute only $300 or less to their education, about 75 percent of the men and 55 percent of the women indicated that they would have attended college if they had had more money available. Johnson saw this as a loss of human capital and, seeking a remedy, signed into law the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 1965. The law included many suggestions from the Gardner task force such as the advice that government should aid students monetarily via grants and loans, as well as create special programs for college-aspiring low-income students. This, however, posed a major problem for the American Bankers Association. The organization worried about government encroachment on its business, specifically in the form of loans,arguingthat the federal government could not replicate the working relationships that locally-owned financial institutions had with state and private non-profit guarantee programs, and warning that the federal government would end up taking over the industry because there would be little incentive for the state and private non-profit agencies to establish their own programs. To placate the bankers, the Johnson administration assured them the federal government would be the ultimate loan guarantor if no one else was available. And yet, a half century later, the ABA is still waging a quiet war on students by actively combating virtually any legislation that would ease their debt burden. With regards to students being able to rid themselves of college loans by declaring bankruptcy, theABA stated in 2012that, if allowed to go into effect, such an option would tempt students to rack up big debt that they wont repay [and that] the bankruptcy system would be opened to abuse. The ABAs position is more than a little ironic: preemptively accusing students of engaging in irresponsible lending even as the banks themselves engaged in massive amounts of that exact activity by giving mortgages to people they knew could not repay. The assumption that students would borrow money and then declare bankruptcy is, in fact, ridiculous when considering the severe negative effectsthat would be incurred by filing bankruptcy such as harming their credit and preventing them from obtaining new lines of credit, and even causing problems when they apply for jobs. Due to the bankers unrelenting fight against any policy that would enable students to absolve themselves of loans through bankruptcy, the only option left to students who couldnt pay was default which, coincidentally, worked quite well for the banks. When people default on student loans, anumber of effectscome into play, including: 1.Your entire loan balance comes due in full, immediately. While numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 mean horrible results for the borrower, they allow banks to retrieve their money back no matter the cost to individuals in the immediate aftermath or the future. So a young persons entire economic future has pretty much been destroyed through default? Well, thats just the cost of doing business. Fighting Students for Half a Century The American Bankers Association recently fought congressional efforts to prevent the interest rate on student loans doubling from 3.4% to 6.8%. The bill in question, SB 2343, was also known as the Stop The Student Loan Interest Rate Hike of 2012. Democrats like Elizabeth Warren wanted tofinance the billby closing a tax loophole which wealthy individuals and large corporations [would] often file using subchapter S companies to dodge paying employment taxes. In response, the ABA and other business and lobby groups, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce,opposed financing the billon the grounds that it would make tax collection less enforceable than current law and do little to increase compliance. In the end, Republicans, with some Democratic support, shut down the bill, and student loan rates have now doubled. While many have accused the ABA of holding major sway with Republicans, a report from Campaign For Americas Future, entitledMoneychangers In The Senate, noted that six Democratic senatorsBlanche Lincoln, D-Ark.; Mark Warner, D-Va.; Tom Carper, D-Del.; Ben Nelson, D-Neb.; Bill Nelson, D-Fla., and Jim Webb, D-Va.sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to make him aware of our concern about reform efforts [to aid students] and urging consideration of potential alternative legislative proposals. Translation: Democrats who had been bought and paid for by lending companies were urging Harry Reid to abandon legislation that could aid students and instead look for supposed alternatives that would not harm the banks. What is interesting here is the fact that student loan companies have close ties to each of these dissenting senators such as Blanche Lincolns former chief of staff, who works as a lobbyist for the student loan industry, and Ben Nelsons former legislative director, who is a lobbyist for Nelnet, a major student lender. Lets not forget that in the campaign against student loan reform, massive amounts of money are on the line. The previously cited report stated that in 2009, Nelnet posted profits of $139 million, and in May 2008, the student lenders were bailed out by the Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans Act (ECASLA), which gave the banks further federal subsidies. The bill allowed lenders like Sallie Mae to sell loans back to the Department of Education through a number of loan-purchase programs. While the ECASLA bailout enabled lenders to make even more money, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the government would save over $68 billion over 10 years if it switched to direct lending; now, according to the report, that $68 billion will subsidize private lenders like Sallie Mae to pay their executives exorbitant salaries and bonuses like Sallie Maes Chairman Albert Lord, who raked in over $225 million during his tenure that ended at the company in 2013. The situation, however, doesnt end there. The U.S. Senate has now proposed the Protecting Aid for Students Act of 2014, and its House counterpart is entitled the Curbing Abusive Marketing Practices with University Student Debit Cards Act, or the CAMPUS Debit Cards Act.Each of these billsis meant to protect students from unfair banking practices involving campus-sponsored financial products, including debit cards. More specifically, the bills would remove conflicts of interest and end kickbacks between financial institutions and schools, give students control of their financial aid and banking products, and provide transparency over campus-sponsored financial product. To little surprise, the bills pose a fresh problem to Ken Clayton, chief counsel of the ABA, who stated that such legislation would limit financial choices for students and parents, and raise costs for everybody, and that attempts to vilify financial institutions and require free services will limit consumer choice, increase costs for students and universities, and stifle innovation that has helped modernize higher education financing. Eliminating conflicts of interest and kickbacks between colleges and banks, as well as giving students control over their finances, clearly isnt something the ABA is prepared to see happen in Congress. And politicians, obviously, dont have students backs. Which is why young people and families across America need to stand up, organize and take this fight square on against the banks and the legislators they control.

3	Mayor Rahm Emanuel to Ban Gun Shops from 99.5% of Chicago, Videotape All SalesMelissa Melton Undeterred, now Mayor Rahm Emanuel is proposing a shiny new ordinance that would use special zoning rules to essentially block gun stores from operating in 99.5% of Chicago and deter any future gun businesses from opening in the scant space left. Whatever gun shops that might try to remain in the pockets left in the South, North and West sides of town that represent the 0.5% of Chicago where the new zoning rules do not apply would have to follow a bevy of rules to not only open their doors, but to keep them open. Requirements include that each and every gun purchase be videotaped at the point-of-sale to deter customers from buying firearms for crooks, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Owners would also be required to produce a security plan that is pre-approved by Chicago police before the store could officially open up shop, in addition to completing quarterly sales audits and allowing the police to freely inspect all sales records. Thats on top of the shop not being located within 500 feet of a school or a park in that 0.5% of Chicago thats not zoned out. So basically because the actual handgun ban was found unconstitutional, Emanuel is going to regulate guns in every other way possible with what essentially boils down to a bunch of legal hoops and a long-winded game of semantics. Sure citizens of Chicago, you can have your 2nd Amendment rights, but First you have to actually find a gun store in the 0.5% of Chicago not zoned out which then passes police safety inspection and is then willing to operate by continuously jumping through all these new regulatory hoops (in addition to all the pre-existing state and federal regulatory hoops already in place for gun stores) Then you too can line up around the block and get filmed the whole time like you are a guilty-until-proven-innocent criminal just for the privilege to buy a gun in Chicago in the first place. (Never mind that, in one of the most dangerous, crime-ridden, gang-plagued cities in the whole country to the point that the FBI bestowed the monicker murder capital on it back in 2012 you might dare to want to protect yourself) Or just prevent gun stores, period.

3	25 Safe Natural Alternatives to the Flu ShotWill you line up for this years lethal injection? selfnews Post Want $10 off your bill at the grocery store? Stop by our pharmacy and let us jab a needle full of toxins into your arm! Want to avoid killing off your newborn, your elderly neighbor, and some random unvaccinated cancer patient? Do your part by getting stabbed! Want to circumvent potential death by influenza? Just get your flu shot at any of our convenient walk-in locations. Want to keep your job? Get your mandatory flu shot or your fired but dont worry its FREE! Its that time of year again. The propaganda machine is in high gear, churning out the fear in order to get everyone lined up for their annual flu shots. Widely trusted websites like theCDC, Flu.gov, and theMayo Clinicare all trumpeting the necessity of this years vaccination and proclaiming it to be the best way to stay healthy. This year the focus is on pregnant women and people who are employed at long term health care facilities. Dont be surprised to see another rash of get your flu shot or lose your job ultimatums for nursing home workers. Last year, workplaces, schools and other activities across the US and Canada instituted policies that forced all participants to receive a flu shot.-Long term hospital employees were fired for refusing to have the toxin injected into themselves. Children were banned from pre-schools and daycares in 6 states. Nursing students were told to have the shot or lose their placements, thus disqualifying them for their degrees. The media and government launched a full-out propaganda assault to force those who didnt want it to have the flu shot anyway, at risk of their livelihoods and educations. What the propagandists and flu shot proponents fail to mention are the horror stories like the fact that 23 senior citizens (in that touted high-risk-must-get-a-shot group) just DIED from the same flu shots that are given at local pharmacies, with no accountability, no prescription necessary, and no check up from the doctor. (But you DO get a handy 20% off shopping pass when you get your flu shot!) Flu shots mean big money to the pharmacies, to the doctors, and to the drug companies. The frenzy with which the flu shot is promoted is directly proportionate to the profit margin, but those lining their pockets fail to mention that you could be paying them to give you and your family a lethal injection. Why I Wont Get a Flu Shot My first thought when the government absolutely insists that I do something is, Heck no. Call me a conspiracy theorist if you want to Im cool with that but the insistence of the powers that be that my family and I be injected with foreign substances that have not been proven to be effective and that have mild to severe side effects makes me plain suspicious. My family and I will not be getting a flu shot this year (or any other year) for 5 reasons. (Check out last years article, 5 Reasons Why Ill Never Get a Flu Shot, for more details on each of these reasons.) Just like with any other sales pitch, the more insistent the salesman and the less information they want to give you about the product, the faster you should run the other direction. ButIsnt the Shot the Best Way to Prevent Catching the Flu? You will hear in about 10,971 variations that The best way to prevent catching the flu is to receive your annual flu shot. This is actually untrue. The absolute, number one way to avoid catching the flu is through the exercise of good personal hygiene. 2. Use a paper towel to open bathroom doors and turn on taps. 3. Although Im normally not a big fan of hand sanitizer, use it during the height of flu season if you have to touch things that everyone else has been touching, like the handle of the shopping cart, door knobs, and debit machines. 4. Use antibacterial wipes (or at least baby wipes) to wash your hands and wipe the steering wheel when you get back into your vehicle. 5. Avoid touching your face this welcomes germs that are on your hands into your body. 6. During the height of flu season, consider taking a quick shower and changing clothes when you return home, particularly if you have been in a germ-ridden place like a doctors office or pharmacy. 7. Make sure the kids change clothes and thoroughly wash their hands when they return home from school. 8. I shouldnt really have to say this, but.wash your hands after using the bathroom and before preparing or eating food. If your local area is being hit hard by the flu, practice avoidance to keep your family healthy. 9. Stay home as much as possible. (Obviously, if you have work and school outside the home, this become more difficult, but avoid malls, movie theaters, and sporting events for the duration of the epidemic.) 10. Stay away from sick people if you can. 11. Avoid eating at restaurants you dont know the health or hygiene habits of the kitchen staff. If someone in your family is sick, try to minimize the spread of the illness. 12. If you or a family member are sick, stay home from work or school to prevent passing it on to others. 13. If a family member is sick, keep them isolated away from the rest of the family. 14. Use antibacterial wipes to clean surfaces that the sick person touches doorknobs, TV remotes, keyboards, toilet handles, and phones. 15. Immediate place dishes and flatware used by the sick person into hot, soapy dishwater with a drop of bleach in it. 16. Teach children to cough into the crook of their arm instead of covering their mouth with their hands. 17. Have the sick person wash their hands frequently with soap and water to help prevent spreading germs through physical contact. If soap and water is unavailable, have them use hand sanitizer. Some other ways to stay healthy are to use natural strategies to maximize your immune system. 18. Drink lots of water to keep your system hydrated and efficient. 19. Take a high quality, organic multi-vitamin. 20. Take at least 3000 IUs of Vitamin D3 daily research has shown a link between a Vitamin D deficit and susceptibility to the flu. 21. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables (preferably organic and pesticide free). 22. Get 7-9 hours of sleep per day a tired body has a weaker immunity against viruses. 23. Dont smoke this weakens your resistance against respiratory illnesses and worsens the effect on your body if you do become ill. 24. Avoid or limit alcoholic beverages. 25. Avoid or limit processed foods. Should You Head to the Pharmacy If You Get the Flu? If, despite all of your precautions, you do get sick, you dont have to resort to over-the-counter remedies and prescription antivirals. These can have horrendous side effects and are rarely effective. Check outthis article to learn more about the treatments from the pharmacy and discover some effective remedies that are as close as your kitchen. As well, consider investing in natures version of Tamiflu elderberry extract. Scientists have isolated the active compound in the elderberry. It is called Antivirin and is found in proteins of the black elderberry. The compound prevents the flu virus from invading the membranes of healthy cells. If you are sick, increase your levels of Vitamin D3 to medicinal level doses it has been proven to reduce the time and severity of flu symptoms learn more about this treatment option from the Vitamin D Council (the information on Vitamin D is great but sadly the article contains flu shot and Tamiflu propaganda so, take the beneficial information and mentally set aside the rest.) The worst case scenario is that you do, indeed, contract the flu. Despite the hullabaloo, you are probably not going to die, be hospitalized, or suffer horrific permanent damage from a bout of the flu. People get sick, but death from the seasonal flu is rare. This manufactured panic over flu prevention is agenda-based. Big Pharma wants money and Big Government wants control. I dont believe that all health care professionals and flu-shot advocates have ill-intent. I think that many of them have just sipped the mainstream media Kool-aid the tale-spinners of Big Pharma have slipped in just enough truth to make their theories believable. Most people are deep-down decent and have difficulty believing that such a perverse money/power agenda could exist. Ill take the risk of illness that my healthy immune system can fight off over the risk of being forcibly inoculated with whatever toxins the creators of these vaccines choose to include. Ill use my little arsenal of home remedies and come through it without the risk of long-term side effects that have yet to be discovered (or at least, have yet to be made public).

3	Free Speech on Trial: IRS v. HendricksonBy Ford Fischer On July 25, 2014, Doreen Hendrickson was convicted of contempt of court. She was recently sentenced to 18 months, and surrendered herself to prison on May 15, 2015. The details of the case were bizarre, to say the least. Doreens husband, Pete Hendrickson, is the author of Cracking the Code: The Fascinating Truth about Taxation in America, a book that encourages an allegedly legal but unconventional way of filing tax returns, which has supposedly helped tens of thousands of readers win their money back from the IRS. While the book and documentary goes into much heavier detail, the compact of his premise is that the income tax was only meant to be applied to government employees, and private citizens can avoid income taxation by referencing this distinction. Doreen and Pete have been using this method to avoid paying income tax since the release of Petes book, and its put them at odds with the IRS. In the recent case, Doreen was given a new set of returns filled out by the federal government and ordered to sign them as being her own testimony. Because they were not her own words, she refused, and has now been sentenced to prison. Whether or not this method of avoiding taxation is valid, the case highlights a fundamental issue of free speech in todays America. While the First Amendment supposedly validates ones right to say, or not say, what they want, this case draws that principle into question. Doreen was not charges with tax evasion or falsifying returns; she was only charged with contempt of court for refusing to sign a document swearing something she doesnt believe to be true. The Power of Citizen Media This story has gained minimal media response, and very few people are aware of it. Whether or not someone agrees with the Hendricksons, this is a story worth observing and debating. Shane Trejo, writing for Pontiac Tribune, has covered this story extensively. Knowing that it still wasnt getting the attention it deserved, he decided to shoot a documentary. Documentary is a powerful art. While the written word has pushed journalism for decades, documentaries have a unique ability to visualize a story and its raw emotions. With increasingly competitive technology markets, devices with cameras have become so cheap that nearly everyone in a first world country has a phone and a computer capable of making a documentary film. When one sees breaking news occur right before their eyes, they can film it and share it on social media, submit it directly to a website like News2Share, or even self-publish the content on ones own website. Virtually everyone has the power to do so. Trejo interviewed all of the available and relevant figures in the Hendrickson case, then found me via Solutions Institute as someone who could professionally edit together his footage. Even in the absence of any high-end camera equipment, I was able to use Trejos interviews and my editing to compose a documentary that can, at the very least, provoke sympathy for the Hendricksons and inspire further investigation. In doing so, the documentary not only brought light to this case, but the ability of documentaries themselves as a powerful tool to create political and social change. Ford Fischer writes for The Solutions Institute, where this article first appeared. For simply refusing to sign a tax return, she is imprisoned. Not for failure to pay taxes, but for saying the tax system is corrupt and I will not sign. Read The Federal Zone. In most instances income taxation is unlawful. The IRS is chartered in Puerto Rico, a remnant of the ATF from prohibition. Are you not concerned that each child born in America is forced to be a citizen and assigned a social security number so their labor is owned by the bankers for the rest of their life to fund their wars to try to control the entire world? Heres the beginning of the fraud, and deception of the feds taxing system. Brief Explanation of the Victory Tax If examining the IRS code and general statements for the W-4 and W-2 defacto to fill them out makes the person filing them a corporate employee of the US GOV who uses the IRS tax form for SSA, I.R.C. 211(a) the victory tax does not extend to only federal employees. IRS = Uncle Slavemaster. This short but riveting documentary illustrates what true courage is while facing an opponent with virtually unlimited resources. This is the kind of fight the Founding Fathers faced, when they pledged their lives, fortunes and honor to establish a more perfect union. God bless Doreen Hendrickson and her husband for telling the truth. This is the kind of battle that garners the employment of fearless lawyers like Gerry Spence, who successfully defended Randy Weaver of Ruby Ridge, Idaho after they shot his wife and son in a prolonged standoff. Given the Constitutional tort issues of the Hendrickson case, I would love to see someone of Spences stature defend Mrs. Hendrickson. The First Amendment is on the line here! As I understand the rules of the Federal Court the SEC uses and the Municipal Courts people use are two different Courts but they operate on the same set rules in what testimony can be extracted unless it is a financial crime. However, 2 years or 18 months for contempt of court for withholding testimony is extreme. I dont know what the rules of the Court are in this field of law but the rules should enable the appeal under motions for showing how this is not a contempt charge but a punitive action that the prosecution and court has overstepped. One of the rules of these courts is that she is not allowed jury nullification which is a Catch-22 kangaroo court. Therefore, there is no consent of the governed by the court under these circumstances as far as the position of appointment and commission in administrative law goes. The federal judges can make court rules by fiat only in judicial matters. However, the federal judges can supposedly act to suspend Constitutional amendment via rules and lie while in session. Jurisdiction, the defendant, a US citizen I presume, should have challenged the jurisdiction of the judge, the court, the prosecution, the IRS and the matter, the issue. The operation of colorable law and jurisdiction is not understood, and if omissions of facts and law are not challenged, the citizen is therefore not informed of all facts and law pertaining to their case and their rights as citizens. The reach and corruption of the monetary financial system upon the courts and law system is the origin of all this. There are only two classes of taxes in the United States. The income tax is an excise tax and Treasury Decision 2313 defines and explains the 1040 tax return form and who is required to file, who realizes a tax return and who is required to pay. In any event this trial and sentencing must be reviewed, as the defendants action did not come to the standard of contempt. Forcing someone in court, to sign what may be false testimony or any document under duress, is unlawful. The sentence simply doesnt comply with the law and the assertion of the citizens constitutional rights. Good work Mr. King. This case has nothing to do with the method outlined in the book, or the amount of taxes owed (which is zero by all accounts). This is a case of the idiotic judge compelling the testimony of Mrs. Hendrickson. Now its clear that the judge is unhappy about the book, however, this has nothing to do with Mrs. Hendrickson and is reason that the judges demand is unfair and unreasonable. This is like forced confession of the Star Chamber proceedings.

3	Hidden Cameras Being Used to Measure and Manipulate Political Views Around the WorldBy Nicholas West However, a new application of Minority Report-style tracking and analysis is beginning to trouble even those who are in the business of data mining. A new field has emerged out of research and advancements made in the area of neuroscience (the study of the brain and nervous system) it is being dubbed Neuropolitics. Among the digital billboards that are engaged in collecting data and tailoring marketing for many consumer products, many countries are beginning to use hidden facial recognition cameras within these billboards to capture the reactions of passersby. The New York Times reports: In the lobby of a Mexico City office building, people scurrying to and fro gazed briefly at the digital billboard backing a candidate for Congress in June. They probably did not know that the sign was reading them, too. Inside the ad, a camera captured their facial expressions and fed them through an algorithm, reading emotional reactions like happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear and sadness. [] According to campaign records, the campaigns of presidents and prime ministers on at least three continents have hired science consultants to scan voters brains, bodies and faces, all with the aim of heightening their emotional resonance with the electorate. It is believed by proponents that this technology is far more objective than traditional methods of voter study. Some detractors say that it is junk science, while others within the industry say that it is still largely taboo to use this type of data in the political realm. Imagine headlines in The Daily Mail or The Sun about brainwashing, lab rats and manipulation, read a recent article about the techniques posted by Mediatel, which focuses on the British news media. The top three market research companies in the world Nielsen, Kantar and Ipsos do conduct neuromarketing research for big brand names and are upfront about it. But all three said they had a policy of not doing this type of research for political clients. It seems that the country to have first used this technology was Mexico in a 2012 campaign, and it continues today. Subsequently, campaigns in Poland, Turkey, and Colombia have gone on record with admissions of currently testing and employing these techniques. The following countries are listed as having pursued Neuropolitics in limited ways and/or intend to use the technology for upcoming campaigns: As one can quickly observe, this is not a list purely made up of totalitarian bogeymen that get top billing in Western press. In fact, within the United States, it has been revealed that Hillary Clinton and John McCain are among those who have engaged Neuropolitical consultants. According to the NYT, Hillarys chief strategist declined comment when asked about any plan for using the technology in her 2016 campaign. As if the passive collection of this type of data would not be concerning enough, there are indications that it will go further into an area that decidedly can be called mind control. The Times reveals that the above-mentioned 2012 Mexico campaign of Enrique Pea Nieto not only used biometric data collection methods as part of their political election strategy, but does so for actual governance: In my government, we have utilized a variety of research tools and opinion studies to evaluate the efficacy of our governmental programs, communications and messages, said Francisco Olvera Ruiz, the governor of the Mexican state of Hidalgo and a governing party member. Neuroscience research, he added, is especially valuable because it has allowed us to discover with more precision and objectivity what people think, perceive and feel. For now, the public is generally exposed to image capture and real-time facial recognition, but with the spread of biometrics in everything from shopping to accessing the Internet, to banking and even voting itself the ability to collect even more personal data and use it to engineer new realities becomes a near certainty. And, yet, the average person just cant imagine that a cabal of power-hungry control freaks would seek to conduct surveillance upon its own citizens and orchestrate world events. Perhaps that is what remains most surprising in our new Technetronic Era. The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities. Zbigniew Brzezinski, Between Two Ages (1970). Nicholas West writes for selfnewsPost.com and TechSwarm.com Satanic ways have been used for over 5 000 years cheating, controling, killing, wars are tools that tiny elite use to control huge majoriy!

2	Trump Releases AntiGOP frontrunner Donald Trump and presidential Hillary Clinton have been at odds since the preliminaries started, but the tension between the two continues to escalate each day. Trump recently posted a short video to his Instagram account featuring the former Secretary of State, and it has since gone viral. The video shows Clinton laughing while images in the background depict some of her biggest scandals. Hillary has been having a laugh at our expense for years, the video opens. Throughout the duration of the footage, Clinton is heard laughing continuously as controversy over controversy is replayed behind her. Footage ranges from the Whitewater investigation to her private email server scandal. The final clip that is shown is Clinton laughing at the Select Committee on Benghazi hearing in October, while images of the burning diplomatic compound in Libya are being shown. I dont know why that is funny, the committee member states. Dont let the joke be on us! the video concludes. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Does Hillary need to be kept far away from the White House? 
3	Holder: Obama Can Kill Citizens on US Soil Without Due ProcessNote: important update can be found HERE. Battlefield USA just ratcheted up one notch with comments made by Attorney General Eric Holder to Senator Rand Paul. As the indefinite detention provision for American citizens within the NDAA as stated in sections 1021 and 1022 is still being hard fought in many states, drone use within U.S. borders is still being contestedand the FAA has yet to release a concrete guide as to how many licenses have been granted for US flights, AG Holder would not rule out a drone strike against an American citizen on U.S. soil if he were to imagine an extraordinary circumstance. Worse yet, the nations leading legal adviser said unequivocally that it would be constitutional. Paul disagreed: Holders statements also come at a time when civil libertarians and government officials alike are not clear about the scope of the drone program and the governments legal justification for such actions abroad or at home. The architect of the so-called targeted killing playbook, John Brennan, hascalled drone strikes, ethical, and just while claiming that there hadnt been a single collateral death in Pakistan from drone strikes. This is just one example of who is in control of ensuring that our civil liberties and human rights are protected. Eric Holder is another. As we should know quite well, hypothetical situations are a particular specialty of the U.S. government with 9/11 itself having so many holes in the official version that they likely have not all been completely identified yet. Operation Fast and Furious, on the other hand, is now a solid example of a contrived program designed for political ends, with Holder himself being a prime architect of the plot and cover up. He was actually found in contempt of Congress for failing to provide requested documents and was believed by many to be heading for resignation. This is the man whose advice we are still subjected to. (Source) Holder has proven himself to once again be an absolute menace to liberty and freedom. His words are meant to pave the way for a discussion in the public mind about what might be acceptable. Perhaps we can just hope for a hypothetical situation never to arise that would unleash armed drones on any American suspected, charged, and sentenced to death outside of their constitutional right to due process, but if even recent history serves as instruction, to do so we would have to be the most gullible nation the world has ever seen. Here is the full screen capture of the letter from Eric Holder to Senator Rand Paul posted by Sherrie Questioning All: 
1	CLEARWATER, FL (AP)Ac-cording to a published report, this coming Saturday, which was expected to look good, now looks terrible for area resident Walter Russell. A marketing executive with the firm of LaMont, Holland & Dozier, the 38-year-old Russell was expected to be free some of the day, but will in reality be extremely busy from early morning until late evening, his time occupied with important business-related matters. Saturdays terrible for me, Russell said to friend Jack Shores when asked if he was interested in playing golf that afternoon. Ive still got to figure out the preliminary numbers on the Jenn-Air account before the proposal Monday, and I havent even seen the darn strategy report. Shores, a fellow marketing executive, expressed disappointment over Russells unavailability for golfing. I was really looking forward to playing a round with Walter, Shores said. Hes the only one in the office I can actually beat. Shores then chuckled and made several more humorous remarks about his friends questionable golf skills. Also disappointed with Russells busy Saturday schedule is mistress Diane Kane, 31, with whom the married Russell has been having an affair for nearly four years. We were supposed to go out to dinner, and then take a late-night cruise, Kane said. I was even going to call him by his pet name, Waltie, which drives him crazy. Im sorry baby, Russell told Kane late last night via phone. Im just slammed tomorrow. I promise Ill make it up to you soon. Russell then added he would really make it up to her, if she knew what he meant. This Saturday will mark the third terrible one this month for Russell, who last weekend had to pass on lunch with his wife to finish outlining final budget initiatives for the Mopar Auto Parts account. Experts are not surprised Russell is so busy Saturday. Unlike your average auto mechanic or schoolteacher, important marketing executives often must sacrifice weekends, Professor James J. Dilweg of Pennsylvanias Wharton School of Business said. Clearly, Walter Russell understands that to stay on top in a competitive, ever-changing business environment, one must give 110 percent. It is such passion for perfection that defines a winner. There is an outside shot Saturday will be okay, if Russell can get a solid enough draft of the report done by mid-afternoon.

3	New Research Supports Many Benefits of Local FarmingPolicy makers should value environmental, health benefits of small-scale local farming, researcher argues. While the biotech industry continues to assert that modern-day farming must be driven by genetic modification in order to provide more consistent crop production in ever greater numbers, an increasing number of independent studies argue just the opposite. When it comes to food production, it is one of the many myths of GMO; GMOs do not provide more food, but do offer Big Ag companies increased profits on the need for more pesticides, herbicides, and patented seeds. Natural agriculture practices are the real answer, and another new study backs it up. We are often shown images of starving people in Third World countries who presumably need saving by corporate conglomerates. However, in just one example, poverty-stricken rice and potato farmers in India confirmed record-breaking yields after switching to truly organic food production. (Source) This is a similar story as others reported in Africa, with incredible additional benefits to the economy and human rights (read the full report here). A study by the University of California, Berkeley, presented exhaustive alternatives to current practices. One section of the paper cited research pointing to the positive effects of biodiversity on the numbers of herbivore pests, finding that polycultural planting led to reduction of pest populations by up to 64%. Later, combined results of hundreds of comparisons also favored biologically diverse farms with a 54% increase in pest mortality and damage to crops dropping by almost 25%. The introduction of more diverse insects also promoted increased pollination and healthier crops.(source ecology and society) And yet another: A 9-year study conducted by researchers from the USDA, University of Minnesota and Iowa State University proved that in more complex systems, yield AND profits were both enhanced. When paired against the conventional corn/soy rotation, less fertilizer was used. This difference actually increased over the course of the study, indicating the quality of the soil was improving over time, instead of experiencing the depletion of common practices. (source Union of Concerned Scientists) The switch to local farming methods protects and enhances this essential biodiversity that is now increasingly lacking around the world according to Timothy Johns, Professor of Human Nutrition at McGill University in Montreal. Diets for most people around the world are becoming increasingly limited in biological and nutritional diversity. Large-scale agriculture is characteristically simplified and less diverse than small-holder agriculture, Prof. Johns cautions. This is true in genetic, ecological and nutritional terms. The answer, according to Johns, is to use the intrinsic benefits of local farming; namely the range of wild species of fruit, vegetables, condiments and medicines, as well as wild animal-sourced foods, but then couple that with new technologies that can help local farmers meet the productivity levels needed for an increasing population. Johns conclusions fly in the face of what we are consistently told by mega food corporations like Monsanto; that only they have the capacity to feed an exploding global population. On the contrary, local farming empowered with technology can surpass large-scale growing operations. Professor Johns explains: Using family members in farming reduces labor and supervision costs, while a more intimate knowledge of the local soil, plants and animals enables smallholders to maximize output. In Brazil, for example, national data from the Censo Agropecurio shows that family farms produce 38 percent of national agricultural value from 24 percent of the agricultural land. An assessment of 286 projects in 57 countries, moreover, shows that low-cost, sustainable and diversity-enhancing technologies increased average crop yields on small farms by 79 percent since the early 1990s. This research highlights the importance of local culture in offering inherent knowledge of which products grow best within a given region, while also preserving the health benefits that have been established through the same train of communicated knowledge. Products of biodiversity within culturally-based diets provide essential micronutrients and lower prevalence of diet-related chronic disease. Professor Johns specifically notes a developing malady in the First World being obese, but lacking nutrients that provide true health. In other words, most of the First World is not calorie deficient, they are deficient in trace minerals and nutrients: Carbohydrates mainly cereals, sugars, potatoes and other tubers and vegetable oils produced efficiently by large-scale agriculture and distributed through global trade are more affordable for many people than lower-calorie, more nutritious foods. In many cases, the result is a form of malnutrition defined by overconsumption of calories. This has helped fuel a growing global epidemic of obesity and chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Johns research urges policy makers to look more closely at the growing body of research indicating that the Monsantos of the world are not the be-all, end-all answer to starving populations and the undernourished; the answer lies in local family farming that supports the previous studies linked above. In all of these studies, it is not only bellies that get filled; it is the strengthening of entire communities economically, socially, and culturally, while still providing healthy nutritious food. Johns offers one concrete example of how this functions: Brazils National School Feeding Law and program since 2009 requires that at least 30 percent of food in the program must come from family agriculture. It also has explicit guidelines for the use of healthy food in school menus, including foods that respect the culture and traditions; and it provides incentives for the purchase of diversified foods, preferably from local family agriculture. Food-policy makers around the world should seek to develop novel compensation mechanisms that reflect the benefits of small-scale, biodiverse agriculture . . . This may involve direct subsidies to farmers, but it must also involve investment in extension services, infrastructure, supply-chain research and development, and progressive market regulation. In lieu of solutions being found in the compromised political institutions of the West, which are often populated by the revolving door of corporate farming, I would urge readers to investigate novel technologies that are showing great promise for both small- and large-scale farming that have the power to supercharge natural production anywhere in the world found in the following article links: For more information on the symposium being given by Professor Timothy Johns please visit: http://aaas.confex.com/aaas/2014/webprogram/Session7028.html Sources: 
3	The Revolution Will Not Appear in Your Twitter FeedBy Luke Rudkowski Recently Twitter accounts have been locked out for trying to post links to a new translated documentary about the real goings on in Ukraine and the Wests involvement. Has anyone noticed if you can share stuff from AP anymore? I dont seem to be able too. It says its been posted but it doesnt appear? Facebook still allows my sharing from this AP though This isnt news to any who have any common sense and posess actual awareness. All forms of social media are just different flavors of conformity and enjoyed by those with no sense of self preservation. Sadly, you are right. And i have known it for a while but here I am. I have been asking myself for a while why have we been able to get away with it this long? The answer is obvious. Thanks, mate Its not obvious to me! How has social media remained this uncensored for so long? I think it works for seeing who we are and what our plans might be. They know there is plenty of discontent among us and we shouldnt kid ourselves that they havent been watching us for some time now. they have cut us some slack to bring us out into the open. I see. I post a lot on youtube, but perhaps its better to educate and speak out than to be quiet and self-preserving, because even though its more dangerous, freedom doesnt come by not putting your money where your mouth is and facing that danger. Do you think? I agree 100%, Jim! To do nothing is not an option for us. Remember, bad things continue to happen when good people do nothing. Cant remember who said that, buts its true. We are on the front line and in now in their sites. the fema camps are waiting Social media is nothing more than an extension of the Corporates thought police monitoring their propertys behavior. That and smart phones that dumb people cant put downits a regular E-lobotomy. 
3	FDA Must Be Made Accountable for Scientific MisbehaviorCatherine J. Frompovich Someone [name redacted] at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services/FDA [http://i.bnet.com/blogs/cert-fda-letter-to-the-president-4-2-09-and-trans-team-1-7-09.pdf ] sent the then recently-inaugurated president, Barack Hussein Obama, a letter, which I will parse in part below. Also, a CERTIFIED document, including a notarized affidavit signed by Sarah Kotler, the Denials and Appeals Officer in the Division of Freedom of Information, Office of Public Information and Library Services, Office of Shared Services, Office of the Commissioner, United States Food and Drug Administration, was provided to an unidentified receiver, regarding serious ethical and fraud problems within the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Since I did not receive copies of what Kotler supplied in No. 4, I cannot speak to them. Furthermore, The Wall Street Journal published an article about some of FDAs problems in its Oct. 22, 2009 online issue. However, in the letter to President Obama dated April 2, 2009, there is much to comment about: the misdeeds of FDA officials. Recent press reports revealed extensive evidence of serious wrongdoing by Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach, Dr. Frank M. Torti, top FDA attorneys, Center and Office Directors, and many others in prominent positions of authority at FDA. As a result, Dr. Frank M. Torti, Acting Commissioner and the FDAs first Chief Scientist, abruptly left the Agency. But, the many other FDA managers who have failed to protect the American public, who have violated laws, rules, and regulations, who have suppressed or altered scientific or technological findings and conclusions, who have abused their power and authority, and who have engaged in illegal retaliation against those who speak out, have not been held accountable and remain in place. [CJF emphasis added] On Monday, March 30, 2009, Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, newly appointed Principal Deputy Commissioner, assumed the position of Acting Commissioner until Dr. Margaret Hamburg is confirmed. Numerous FDA physicians and scientists are certain that Dr. Hamburg and Dr. Sharfstein will bring the necessary change to FDA to guarantee integrity, accountability, and transparency, to ensure that all future decisions are solely based on science and in accordance with the laws, rules, and regulations. However, sweeping measures are needed to end the systemic corruption and wrongdoing that permeates all levels of FDA and has plagued the Agency far too long. [CJF emphasis added] The latest example of wrongdoing was reported on March 23, 2009 from a Federal District Court Judge who ruled that FDAs decision on the Plan B drug1 was arbitrary and capricious because they were not the result of reasoned and good faith agency decision-making. FDAs top leaders at the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) testified that they didnt have a choice, and . . . [werent] sure that [they] would be allowed to remain [in their positions if they] didnt agree to ignore the science and the law. To the contrary, they should be removed from their positions of authority precisely because they didnt follow the science and the law. The judge further ruled that there was unrebutted evidence that the FDAs [decision] stemmed from political pressure rather than permissible health and safety concerns. The improper political influence and the many departures from its own policies reveal that such FDA officials are incapable of ensuring integrity and science at FDA. [1, pg. 1] [CJF emphasis added] On October 14, 2008, FDA physicians and scientists wrote to members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee reporting that top FDA officials at the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) had distorted the scientific review of medical devices and then retaliated against those who brought this to light.2 Congressman John Dingell (then Chairman) and Congressman Bart Stupak (Chairman, Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations) wrote to then FDA Commissioner Dr. Andrew C. von Eschenbach (since resigned), stating that there were well- documented allegations that senior managers within CDRH had acted in violation of the law [and that] sweeping measures may be necessary to address the distortion of science alleged by so many CDRH scientists.3 [CJF emphasis added] [1, pg. 2] On January 7, 2009, FDA physicians and scientists wrote to Mr. John Podesta4: Through this letter and your action, we hope that future FDA employees will not experience the same frustration and anxiety that we have experienced for more than a year at the hands of FDA managers because we are committed to public integrity and were willing to speak out. Currently, there is an atmosphere at FDA in which the honest employee fears the dishonest employee, and not the other way around. Disturbingly, the atmosphere does not yet exist at FDA where honest employees committed to integrity and the FDA mission can act without fear of reprisal. America urgently needs change at FDA because FDA is fundamentally broken, failing to fulfill its mission, and because reestablishing a proper and effectively functioning FDA is vital to the physical and economic health of the nation.5 [CJF emphasis added] [1, pg. 2] Every U.S. citizen needs to know aboutand readthe above paragraph, which is profoundly disturbing insofar as the redacted signer of the April 2, 2009 letter relays in no uncertain terms the corruption, dishonesty, and lack of integrity that is lorded over honest employees at the FDA. Obviously, the FDA was/and still-may-be a cesspool of scientific criminals of the first order. However, President Obama apparently still has done zilch, nada, nothing about investigating and prosecuting the perpetrators at the FDA, thereby guaranteeing legal prosecution for offenders, which was the apparent request of that letter writer. So, what did the president do instead? He appointed Margaret Hamburg, MD, FDA Commissioner and Dr. Joshua Sharfstein as Principal Deputy Commissioner of the FDA. No prosecutions that Ive heard of! Does anyone reading this article know of any? If so, please list them in the comment section, and thanks. Neither has Congress, who has oversight over the FDA, done anything to investigate and prosecute the apparent putrid modus operandi that existed/exists at the U.S. FDA, as one can assume from what is said next in that six-page letter: On January 13, 2009, the NY Times6 reported that FDA officials allowed improper political influence7 to guide official FDA actions. The Director of the Office of Device Evaluation, Dr. Donna-Bea Tillman, approved8 a medical device used for the detection of breast cancer despite the fact that all of the FDA experts involved recommended against approval of the device three times. Dr. Tillmans decision to overrule the FDA experts followed a phone call from a Connecticut congressman [Christopher Shays]. [CJF emphasis added.] [Question: Why would a Congressman, who should have known better, apparently put in a good word?] On January 26, 2009, FDA physicians and scientists wrote to you directly9 seeking your help and recommending that you remove and hold accountable all managers who have ordered, participated in, fostered or tolerated the well-documented corruption, wrongdoing and retaliation at the Agency. That letter was prompted by concerns that FDA officials were planning to investigate physicians and scientists in retaliation for the January 13, 2009 story in the NY Times. These concerns were well-founded. [CJF emphasis added.] [1, pg. 2] [Comment: Mr. Obama apparently still has not ordered an investigation and/or prosecution, which the letter writer requested! Why?] Furthermore, the letter went on with: On March 13, 2009, one week after another episode detailing wrongdoing and improper political influence involving top FDA officials was published in the Wall Street Journal,10 Acting Commissioner Dr. Frank M. Torti and FDA attorneys sprung into action. Their solution send an FDA-wide email11 admonishing FDA employees that they must comply with obligations to keep certain information confidential [including] e-mail to and from employees within FDA [that document the] deliberative process and threatening that violation can result in disciplinary sanctions and/or individual criminal liability. [CJF emphasis added.] [1, pg. 2] Readers will note an emphatically threatening tone, violation can result in disciplinary sanctions and/or individual criminal liability! Apparently, the real criminals were being safeguarded from would-be whistleblowers! And, honest FDA employees were being threatened big time, i.e., criminal liability! Congress, where are you; why arent you doing your job citizens are paying you to do; and please get out of Big Pharmas lucrative back pockets! According to the The Center for Public Integrity, Its actually the pharmaceutical industry that spends the most each year to influence our lawmakers, forking over a total of $2.6 billion on lobbying activities from 1998 through 2012, according to OpenSecrets.org. (Source) That should be illegal, and stopped immediately, as it seemingly amounts to nothing more than payola or play and pay to go! with and at the U.S. Congress. Furthermore, why wasnt the Attorney General investigating apparent crimes within the FDA? These threats did not escape the scrutiny of Senator Chuck Grassley,12 Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance. [1, pg. 3] However, Senator Grassley sent a letter to Dr. Torti on March 24, 2009 wherein part of what he said was: Whistleblowers are some of the most patriotic people I knowmen and women who labor, often anonymously, to let Congress and the American people know when the Government isnt working so we can fix it. [1, pg. 3] Additionally, The Wall Street Journal13 and FDA documents14 revealed efforts by top FDA officials (including Dr. von Eschenbach, Dr. Torti, Mr. William McConagha, and other FDA attorneys) to cover-up their attempts to improperly influence, obstruct, impede and distort the due and proper administration of the FDA scientific regulatory process involving a knee implant device. According to the Columbia University Journalism Review,15 the [Wall Street] Journal describes a process in this case thats, well, corrupt. I dont know what else youd call it. It even has a smoking gun.16 [CJF emphasis added] [1, pg. 3] Along with this: A letter17 from Senator Grassley to Dr. Torti dated March 6, 2009 indicated that Dr. Schultz and top FDA attorneys had concealed the fact that two of the authors of a major publication presented to the advisory committee in support of the knee implant device, had affiliations with the device manufacturer (the first author of the article is [the manufacturers] Vice President of Scientific Affairs, Senator Grassley noted). [CJF emphasis added] [1, pg. 3] The above extrapolations are a smidgen of whats in the six-page letter. Some other fraud-type gems are included, but this one is most explicit: Dr. Schultz was accused of stacking the committee to get the decision the company wanted, and of falsely stating in an official document that the conclusions reached by the advisory committee were clear and unanimousto the contrary, they were not. [CJF emphasis added] [1, pg. 3] [Question: Does that also go on in getting vaccines licensed?] Another, The culture of wrongdoing and cover-up is nothing new but is part of a longstanding pattern of behavior. For example, in July 2005,18 Dr. Daniel Schultz approved a medical device against the unanimous opinion of his scientific staff,19 overruling more than twenty FDA scientists, medical officers and management staff. [CJF emphasis added] [1, pg. 3] How about this: Amazingly, just 3 weeks ago, on March 6, 2009, it was reported by the consumer advocacy organization Public Citizen that Dr. Tillman approved a [medical] device that has failed to demonstrate any clinical benefit and that showed trends toward higher risks of death.2 [CJF emphasis added] [1, pg. 4] The letter further states: Much work remains to be done at FDA and all pending matters need to be addressed. The wrongdoing revealed in the Wall Street Journal involves top FDA officials and requires immediate investigation. Astoundingly, since May 2008,29 Dr. von Eschenbach, Dr. Torti, Mr. McConagha, and numerous top FDA officials, have been well-aware of other serious wrongdoing, and failed to take any actions, while the physicians and scientists who spoke out and refused to comply have suffered retaliation. [CJF emphasis added] [1, pg. 4] Needless to say, there still is much that needs to be investigated and purged from within FDAs fiefdom of pseudoscience, especially regarding vaccines, I allege. Two examples that need to be revisited, thoroughly dissected, and legally prosecuted are: 1) the Simpsonwood meeting of June 2000 regarding Thimerosal/ethylmercury and the CDCs Dr. Verstraetens initial findings, and his subsequent findings after the Simpsonwood meetingreworked VSD data and release of the VSD data; and 2) William Thompson, PhD, admitting to fudging reports regarding autism being associated with vaccines and mercury. Both the above were CDC events that impacted FDAs decisions about vaccines. The clearance/approval of medical devices that were not made in accordance with the laws, rules and regulations, need to be re-visited. [CJF emphasis added] [1, pg. 4] [Thats not the only issues that need re-visiting at FDA. Vaccine licensing studies and all data associated with every vaccine approval process must be re-visited.] Dr. Paul G. King, PhD, who is an analytical chemist and mercury-in-vaccines researcher/investigator, wrote the Introduction for my book, Vaccination Voodoo What YOU Dont Know About Vaccines, stated very clearly and pointed out how the FDA does not abide by its own rules and regulations regarding safety of vaccines. Regarding the Vaccine Safety Datalink Data that Dr. Verstraeten reworked to find there was no connection with Thimerosal and neurological damage, e.g., autism, in children, readers need to understand what really happened: Under pressure from Congress and parents, the Institute of Medicine convened another panel to address continuing concerns about the Vaccine Safety Datalink Data Sharing program. In February, the new panel, composed of different scientists, criticized the way the VSD had been used in the Verstraeten study, and urged the CDC to make its vaccine database available to the public. So far, though, only two scientists have managed to gain access. Dr. Mark Geier, president of the Genetics Center of America, and his son, David, spent a year battling to obtain the medical records from the CDC. Since August 2002, when members of Congress pressured the agency to turn over the data, the Geiers have completed six studies that demonstrate a powerful correlation between thimerosal and neurological damage in children. One study, which compares the cumulative dose of mercury received by children born between 1981 and 1985 with those born between 1990 and 1996, found a very significant relationship between autism and vaccines. Another study of educational performance found that kids who received higher doses of thimerosal in vaccines were nearly three times as likely to be diagnosed with autism and more than three times as likely to suffer from speech disorders and mental retardation. Another soon-to-be published study shows that autism rates are in decline following the recent elimination of thimerosal from most vaccines. (Source) As an aside, and from what I know, Thimerosal still is in multidose vaccines/vials. However, I suggest reading the ingredients for each vaccine at this CDC website to find out which vaccines contain Thimerosal. You just may be surprised! The April 2009 letter to President Obama ends with this: All FDA employees who are committed to public integrity, who follow the laws, rules and regulations, who use science to promote public safety and health, and who have the courage and patriotism to speak out, must be protected and must have their professional lives restored. We ask that you accept nothing less. [1, pg. 5] [CJF emphasis added] In all fairness, so too must MDs and healthcare professionals, who are vaccine safety advocates, working to get the FDA to re-visit and re-evaluate Big Pharmas science that FDA apparently may have accepted against FDA employees condemnation or neglected to investigate during the licensing process. In view of whats admitted in the 2009 letter, it is only a logical conclusion that skullduggery probably went on with vaccine science and licensing. Just as the letter writer was concerned, so is this writer concerned about pseudoscience and secret meetings to redefine/redesign data and studies. That 2009 letter was copied to 6 U.S. Senators and 8 Members of the U.S. House of Representatives, and to 2 individuals at FDA and 2 others at HHS. Plus, there were 29 footnotes. The letter writer was dead serious! Also in the file I received was a copy of the letter to John D. Podesta, Presidential Transition Team, dated January 7, 2009signer redacted, which in the second paragraph on the first page sets a disturbing tone: In light of all the scientific fraud and other ethical issues at the FDA, it is incumbent upon President Obama, the Congress, and the Attorney General of the USAeven nowto investigate thoroughly the various departments of the FDA, its revolving door hiring policy with apparent vested interest corporations, e.g., Big Pharma and Monsanto, and place an embargo on all vaccines public service vaccine announcements and mandates, etc. until a thorough and independent review of all vaccine submissions, trials, records, and data for licensure can be reviewed by independent scientists, who have no affiliation or vested interest with vaccine manufacturers, since the FDA actually does no physical/scientific testing of vaccines or pharmaceuticals to prove what manufacturers say/provide actually is scientifically proven. The president, Congress, HHS/CDC/FDA must do what the taxpayers of the USA pay them to do: Provide factual, ethical, and transparent medical science, not consensus science. The FDA needs an entire overhaul from the top down! Reference: http://i.bnet.com/blogs/cert-fda-letter-to-the-president-4-2-09-and-trans-team-1-7-09.pdf [1] Six-page HHS/FDA 4/2/09 Letter to Pres.

3	Thai Coup Ushers in Organic Farming InitiativeTony Cartalucci The plan seeks to immediately relieve farmers cheated by the ousted regimes failed subsidy program that left nearly a million farmers unpaid for rice they had long-ago turned in to government warehouses. To replace the subsidies, General Prayuth intends to implement a version of self-sufficient, localized agriculture that replaces big-agri with local and sustainable solutions. A more detailed framework of the reforms (original Thai version here) has been outlined by former anti-regime protester, Buddha Issara, who helped lead 6 months of protests against the regime of Thaksin Shinawatra before the May 22 coup. He had become famous among Thailands farmers when he purchased rice mills with donation money and began running them at his protest site in northern Bangkok to help struggling farmers sell their harvests directly to consumers. There are also provisions for improving the quality of agricultural products producing products that are healthier and of higher quality for consumers. This comes after subsidy programs encouraged farmers to grow crops that produced higher yields rather than crops consumers actually wanted to buy, skewing the markets and leaving warehouses overflowing with unwanted, unsold produce. The plan also calls the localization of agricultural processing, including warehouses, marketing centers, distribution and even fertilizer production to be done within villages to cut out middlemen who have traditionally sought to purchase produce from farmers for the cheapest price possible and sell it to consumers for the highest price possible, making themselves incredibly wealthy at everyone elses expense. Cost cutting is where organic agriculture comes in. Both the production of fertilizers locally and the control of weeds and pests will be accomplished by training farmers through national programs focusing on organic methods. Already in Thailand there exists several examples of schools successfully implementing and training farmers in the use of organic agriculture such as the Khao Kwan Foundation and Ploen Khao Baan. Expanding their efforts and duplicating their methods across the country would be a necessary step in implementing meaningful reforms. Localization, Organic Farming Self-Sufficiency This framework is based on the Thai Kings New Theory or self-sufficiency economy and mirrors similar efforts found throughout the world attempting to break the back of the oppression and exploitation that results from dependence on a globalized system dominated by multinational corporate monopolies. The self-sufficiency economy hinges on the precepts that families should farm first to sustain themselves through organic polyculture rather than the dangerous and dependency-inducing monoculture championed by big-agri suppliers and big-retail distributors. Extra land and resources they will have should then be used to produce a variety of crops to hedge against market fluctuations and natural disasters. The income should be used to sustainably expand a familys operation, including through investment in technology to improve efficiency, process crops for sale, and even diversify economic activity away from strictly agricultural pursuits. The King of Thailand maintains a network of projects throughout the country where demonstration fields and processing centers showcase the self-sufficiency economy and assist farmers in expanding their knowledge and economic prospects. With this apparently being the underpinning of upcoming reforms, these networks will most likely be expanded and made more accessible to the farmers who can benefit from them the most. Coupled with disruptive technology, the self-sufficiency economy, if implemented on a national scale, could accelerate economic development driven from within Thailand, rather than through a dependency on foreign investment. While Thailand possesses immense natural resources, its greatest asset is its human resources. Rather than exploiting this resource to propel corrupt political machines forward, it can be turned instead into an engine of immense economic growth, socioeconomic development, and progress all strata of Thai society will benefit from if not only from the stability it will create from turning political rivalries into constructive, pragmatic progress. With a vast percentage of Thailands population engaged in the agricultural industry, the new agricultural reforms will serve as the foundation upon which post-Thaksin Thailand will be built. Making sure this foundation is strong, sustainable, and more importantly, designed to improve both the livelihood of farmers, and the nation they feed, is essential and will require more than just vote-buying subsidies and populist gimmicks to accomplish. It appears that while the ousted regime of Thaksin Shinawatra failed to understand this, the new military-led government does and is laying the groundwork to make it happen. Tony Cartalucci, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook, where this first appeared. 
1	Declaring the 10-pound bird worthy of the churchs veneration to a crowd of thousands in St. Peters Square, Pope Francis celebrated a hallowed tradition on Thursday by canonizing a turkey from a local farm, a Thanksgiving ritual dating back more than three centuries to the pontificate of Innocent XII. Dear brothers and sisters, it is my deepest joy today to present the life and witness of this humble bird to the Church and welcome him to cluck and cackle among the saints in Gods Kingdom of Heaven, Pope Francis recited in accordance with the teaching of the Second Vatican Council, invoking the name of God three times before inscribing the newly beatified bird, named St. Gobbler, in the catalogue of saints. Like those who came before, this pure and simple bird lived a life in consecration of Christ the Lord, his gentle gobbles spreading goodness and grace throughout Applewood Farms. May this noble and dignified bird forever bear witness to the Glory of God on earth and shine light in the hearts of the faithful on this most holy day. Vatican sources say the ceremony was far less controversial than last years posthumous canonization of St. Wattle, a 23-pound wild turkey who was burned alive as a heretic in 1690. 
2	AntiIn a disturbing video that has quickly gone viral, Project Veritas investigators revealed that a group, known as the DC Anti-fascist Coalition, has been planning to interrupt Donald Trumps inauguration by deploying butyric acid at the National Press Club during the Deploraball event scheduled for January 19th. The meeting was captured on a hidden camera and was held at Comet Ping Pong, a DC pizza restaurant. At the gathering, coalition members discussed the steps they would need to put the Deploraball event to a halt. After capturing the video, Project Veritas notified the FBI, Secret Service and DC Metro Police of the content of the video prior to its release. 
3	Artificial Intelligence Researchers Want Survival of the Fittest for RobotsNicholas West One recent development sought by the European Union is shocking: a cloud network called RoboEarth where robots can do their own research, communicate with one another, and collectively increase their intelligence in a full simulation of human interaction. It has been dubbed a Wikipedia for robots. It introduces a type of family learning essentially the nurture part of the equation where nature can only be mimicked. Once established, some of the autonomous functions that have been implemented will transcend beyond merely self-directed communication, and will enter the sphere of evolutionary intelligence. This drive for embedding evolutionary principles into robotics forms the cornerstone of new research at the University of Wyomings Evolving Artificial Intelligence Lab where the stated goal is to introduce the concept of natural selection so that robots will evolve as rivals to their human counterparts. Concerns are finally beginning to mount about the unintended consequences of creating something that has the potential to be smarter than us, as Stephen Hawking has been discussing lately. Nevertheless, research into artificial intelligence continues full steam ahead. More disturbing still are statements made by George Zarkadakis, an artificial intelligence engineer, who believes that intelligent robots will move toward procreation as they will wish to produce superior offspring. Through a simple software swap, new intelligence could be created, as well as the likelihood of other upgrades like virus protection. Incidentally, the organic component of this is also being researched by geneticists as downloadable DNA via our own human Internet. Just as we humans naturally wish that our own children become healthier, more intelligent and longer-lived versions of ourselves, so too will increasingly self-aware systems. The research at the University of Wyoming is embracing this potential: Lead researcher, Jeff Clune, has lofty ambitions that should be taken seriously as his lab has produced award-winning students and grants from NASA. Commenting on the potential of the mutations and code swaps, he states: With the rapid advances made in the realm of 3D printing, self-aware artificial intelligence could breed at the molecular level and likely begin printing out their code-upgraded progeny. Sound crazy? Clune states just such a potential: While futurists such as Ray Kurzweil, a director of engineering at Google, tend to discuss a transcendental age of Spiritual Machineswhere humans only benefit from their own enhanced intelligence as well as the coming super A.I, the opposite reality should be equally if not more strongly considered. This wave of new technology is a fundamental transformation, not simply a new gadget that can be upgraded or phased out. While Jeff Clune claims to add ethics to his lectures, his following statement demonstrates a decided lack of concern for where this genie is headed once let out of the bottle. Apparently, his role as a scientist is just to open the bottle and see what happens: Robots are already beginning to win in the economic struggle for survival. Where else will their competitive evolution take them? Article source: Recently by Nicholas West: 
1	Ten-year-old Jeff Lilley put up a good fight, but was ultimately unable to keep the fact that he wasn't wearing a regular shirt underneath his windbreaker from his classmates. Check out his stats on the day: This wasn't Jeff's first brush with potentially psyche-scarring humiliation this year. Here are some of his other highlights: 
1	A confused President Bush broke free from the restraint of Secret Service agents this morning and ran in pursuit of departing deputy chief of staff Karl Rove's car for several blocks down Pennsylvania Avenue before being outdistanced by the vehicle. Bush sits in disbelief as his longtime buddy disappears forever and ever and ever. 'Why can't I go with him?' Bush tearfully asked advisers as the longtime Republican strategist's sedan disappeared over the horizon. 'When is he coming back?' White House staff were deeply moved by the scene, saying that despite their best efforts, no one was able to explain to the president that he would no longer be able to remain at his chief adviser's side. Onlookers were clearly choked up as a tearful Rove, trying to close the car door behind him, told Bush in a stern, commanding tone to back away. 'Go on you hear me? Get out of here, I say!' Rove said. 'I don't love you anymore, understand? Now get! Get!' Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice witnessed the emotionally charged moment. 'We knew that deep down [Rove] still cared, that he was only pretending to be mad at the president,' she said. 'But he had no choice. Leaving was the only way to avoid the ongoing Congressional inquiries.' Rove reportedly tried to prepare Bush for this inevitability in late July by taking him on a special fishing trip so they could spend some quality time together and he could also give Bush a brief rundown on how the presidency works. Rove said he 'didn't have the heart' to break the news to the president, who fell asleep in their rowboat with the fishing pole still in his hands. On his last day, nearly two weeks later, Rove spent the whole morning with Bush before the tear-jerking exit, ruffling his hair, telling him to 'be brave' and 'listen to Cheney,' and explaining that he was going to have to be 'the man of the White House now.' Rove was finally able to leave the White House, despite Bush's heartrending stalling tactics. Though Rove's resignation had been imminent for weeks, Bush appeared oblivious to the situation, which is evident in photos of him smiling as if nothing were wrong until the moment he discovered several suitcases near one of the West Wing's back-door exits. According to high-level administration sources, Bush asked Rove, 'Where are we going?' While sneaking the departing official out to a waiting town car, Secret Service agents were briefly able to deceive Bush by telling him Rove was just running down to the cellar to get him some ice cream. But when Bush heard the car's engine start in the driveway, he burst outside to stop Rove. 'I'll never forget the sight of the president, watching Rove's face in the back window becoming smaller and smaller as the car pulled away forever,' Rice said. The president continued to ask about his former adviser throughout the day, often clutching Rove's day planner, dialing his extension, and blinking uncomprehendingly when told that Rove was never coming back. White House press secretary Tony Snow was finally called in to attempt to convey the reality of the situation to the president, but he was unable to do so. 'He kept looking up at me with those wide, innocent eyes, and I didn't know what to say,' Snow told reporters. 'Maybe someday when he's older, he'll understand how the public lost trust in his big buddy after a series of crucial political missteps, and how firing those attorneys and the...' At this point in the briefing Snow fell silent, overcome with emotion, and moving many in the press room to tears. White House officials say they would like to give President Bush more time to process the loss before pressuring him to appoint a new deputy chief of staff, since he does not yet appear ready to confront the concept of a 'new Rove.' Bush sits in disbelief as his longtime buddy disappears forever and ever and ever. Rove was finally able to leave the White House, despite Bush's heartrending stalling tactics. 
3	Austin, Texas Terror Alert Coincides with Homeland Security DrillLaw enforcement on alert for unconfirmed and random potential terrorist attacks in Austin, while failing to warn the public of the threat. While U.S. embassies around the globe have been shut down and travelers cautioned over avague terror threat officials claim resembles pre-9/11 activity, law enforcement and counter-terrorism authorities in Austin, Texas did not issue a warning of terror threats to residents, despite a city-specific threat sent only to law enforcement. A Homeland Security warning about Possible Terrorist Threat to Venues in Austin, TX in August, was sent out July 19, 2013 warning of unconfirmed possible random terrorist attacks that while supposedly random specify several targets, noting supposed plans to plant back-pack style bombs on 6th street on either 8 or 9 August. In addition to 6th Street, a downtown location busy with nightlife, the threat advisory claimed there were also plans to attack a school and a theological seminary in the downtown Austin area and complete the attack with operations at the Austin Bergstrom International Airport. The unconfirmed warning of random attacks further noted a backup date, August 29th, if the 8th and 9th werent considered a viable option. It is hard to imagine that such specific and detailed information could be part of a credible, yet somehow unconfirmed and random terrorism threat; instead, it reads like the prompt for a large-scale terrorism drill, including preparation response cues, like the many Operation Urban Shield drills that have been conducted by Homeland Security, including one which occurred on April 15 during the Boston Marathon where Boston and Homeland Securitys finest were on sceneduring the bombing. While the public has not been warned of an impending terror threat, the Texas Department of Public Safety did issue a press release on August 7 with information about drills it would be conducting in Austin during that same time period: Multiple Law Enforcement Agencies to Conduct Homeland Security Exercise in Austin. The public should not be alarmed if they observe unordinary law enforcement or first responder activity over the next few weeks in the Austin area, said DPS Director Steven McCraw, who also serves as the Texas Homeland Security Director. Law enforcement were also instructed to Watch for persons observing, photographing, or videotaping and undue curiosity, adding a layer of suspicion towards any journalists or citizens who might be covering the drill / random terror threat in order to hold drill participants accountable should anything go wrong. 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	Obama Reveals He Is About To Enforce Major Changes To November Election On Wednesday, Department of Homeland Security chief Jeh Johnson claimed the Obama administration is weighing measures to strengthen polling places this November against cyber attacks. The announcement follows several high-profile hacks of Democrat organizations. The evaluation will debate whether or not to designate electronic balloting systems as critical infrastructure. We should carefully consider whether our election system, our election process is critical infrastructure, like the financial sector, like the power grid, Johnson told reporters at a breakfast in Washington. Theres a vital national interest in our electoral process. Johnson also told reporters that the United States has made good progress in voter integrity and security as a result of recommendations made by a commission following the controversial 2000 presidential election. But there is more to do, he added. The nature of cyberthreats has evolved. The DHS head reminded the public that there are over 9,000 polling jurisdictions, all with varying ways of casting, tallying and reporting votes. That varied infrastructure and those different systems also pose a difficult challenge to potential hackers, White House spokesman Josh Earnest commented. Its difficult to identify a common vulnerability. What do you think of these new measures?

1	After spending $330 million on big-time free agents Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson, Los Angeles Angels officials said Monday they now feel they have the pieces in place to make a trade for former Angels catcher Mike Napoli. 'At first we thought we could make a run at Mike by offering a player-for-player trade, but we ultimately realized the Rangers would probably want more than just C.J. Wilson,' said general manager Jerry Dipoto, adding that getting back the lifetime .264 hitter is the team's top priority. 'So we signed Albert Pujols. And if the Rangers aren't willing to accept both of those guys, which I completely understand, we've already inked a $140 million contract with Prince Fielder.' Dipoto said that when he presented the deal to Nolan Ryan, the Rangers president was speechless, prompting Dipoto to throw in every single Angels draft pick through 2034.

Now, Valerie Riviello, a nurse at the Albany Stratton VA in New York, has come public with a disturbing practice in her hospital. According to Riviello, employees at the Albany VA are denying veterans morphine, and giving them salt water in its place. Riviello notes that there is a great deal of corruption in the hospital, and claims that nurses who treat the hospice patients have been replacing drugs with a mixture of water and salt. Riviello also claims that management was notified of the crime, but did not take action. Now, the VA inspector general is launching an investigation into the incident. What do you think should happen to the VA employees if they are found guilty?

White media, get to the back! one BLM activist is heard chanting. Black media, come to the front! Excuse me, sir! she yells out to a member of the crowd. Somebody needs to tell this person to get to the backSomebody needs to tell these folks to get to the back! Were not afraid to put people out! White people to the back!

1	Following tonights debate between President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney, millions of Americans took to the Internet to read the views and responses of others so that they themselves could ultimately figure out how they felt about the candidates performances. I need to see what complete and total strangers are saying on Twitter and Facebook, read what the political pundits on CNN.com are writing, and then maybe I can reach my own conclusion about the debate I just watched, said Raleigh, NC resident Jarrod Kakofski, adding that while he has a gut feeling about who won the contest, he would rather see if those thoughts are supported by political analysts and other online commentators just in case [his] opinion ends up being wrong. I wont be able to offer any ideas about the candidates policy proposals, body language, or overall relatability until I get online and am told which person I was supposed to like most. Viewers nationwide also confirmed they would need to consult The Huffington Post before deciding what they thought about the performance of debate moderator Candy Crowley. 
2	SICK: Obama Scolds Louisiana Flood Victims... Orders Them Not To Do THIS This week, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump took time to visit the flood victims in Louisiana. At the same time, President Barack Obama was busy enjoying his vacation. Instead of making the effort to make an appearance, the President of the United States simply asked the group no to engage in racial discrimination. On Tuesday, the Department of Justice, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, and Transportation released information warning residents against engaging in unlawful discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin. The document in extraordinarily characteristic of the Obama we know. This is a so-called leader who neglected the victims a flood, and then had the nerve to get political. According to reports from The Times, many residents were bothered by the administrations guidance. The American Conservatives Rod Dreher wrote that everywhere you look, you can find black folks and white folks loving on each other, helping each other through this crisis. Call us crazy, but Obama could have spent a little more time thinking through his approach on his breaks from the golf course. A 16-page document about the perils of racism is not what these citizens need while their belongings and homes are being swept away. What do you think? Do you applaud Trump for putting in real effort to show his support for these citizens? 
3	Letter Shows Monsanto Planted GMOs Before USDA ApprovalCassandra Anderson Anthony Gucciardi Amazingly, the letter actually proves that the USDA was fully aware of the situation. In order to fully understand the intricate details of this event, it is first important to understand a few key factors regarding alfalfa and its connection to the entire food supply. Alfalfa is a perennial plant that grows for more than 2 years and may not need to be replanted each year like annuals. Because it is a perennial plant, it is exceptionally vulnerable to contamination. Interestingly, the modified alfalfa created by Monsanto in partner with a group known as Forage Genetics was the first perennial plant to be deregulated for open planting by the USDA. But did Monsanto unleash the plant before this occurred? This is very serious because it is only a matter of time before alfalfa across America could be corrupted with Monsantos patented genetically modified trait. Organic meat and dairy could be tainted when animals are fed the modified alfalfa as well, threatening the very integrity of the organic food supply. Whats more, the contamination of natural alfalfa could be nearly impossible if not entirely impossible to remedy, so it could actually fracture the genetic stability of the entire crop on a global scale. A letter from Cal/West Seeds shows that evidence of contamination was withheld and the USDA turned a blind eye to proof of contamination in 2005 which shows it was planted at least two years before it was initially deregulated in 2005. As you can see for yourself, the official letter states: We first discovered the unintended presence of the Roundup Ready gene in our conventional alfalfa seeds in 2005. It was identified in one of our foundation seed production lots grown in California. We tested the foundation seed lot priot to shipping it to a producer who intended to plant it for organic seed production. In another telling segment, the author writes: We detected the presence of the Roundup Ready gene in both our foundation seed and certified seed prior to deregulation. In order to protect the safety of the individual, some further contents cannot be divulged. Remember in the past, those who have stood up against Monsanto have received anonymous death threats in one case, the threats were directed towards a mother and her children. This video documents the timeline of events that led to the deregulation of Monsanto Forage Genetics GMO alfalfa that is contaminating natural alfalfa. As the video explains, the lawyers representing the farmers against Monsanto failed to hold an evidentiary hearing so the injunction (ban) against planting GMO alfalfa was removed and the case was sent back to the lower district court. The lawyers pursued no further action on this case. Contamination levels are still very low, but will undoubtedly increase over time with unexpected results (like superweeds), so stopping the further planting of GM plants like alfalfa is of high concern. Furthermore, it would set a precedent for banning other GMO perennial plants as well a monumental move in the legislative fight against GMOs. This letter, compounded with the other evidence presented in this article, is paramount in displaying just how serious of an issue genetic contamination is. Whats more, the USDA appears to have known the entire time. Its time to spread the word. Additional sources: This article first appeared on NaturalSociety.com.

1	As an uneasy truce between Israel and Hezbollah continues, millions of average men and women in the Holy Land are turning to the one simple comfort that has always seen them through the darkest days of their troubled history: the steadfast guidance of their religious faith. Arabs and Israelis alike are embracing their faith as a way to make sense of the violence from which there seems to be no escape. 'I take solace in knowing that my faith is a sanctuary, an escape from the bloodshed and turmoil,' said Haifa resident Yigal Taheri, who last week lost his wife and newborn daughter when a Fajr-3 long-range rocket launched by Lebanese militants struck the synagogue where his family was attending services. 'YHWH, Elohim, whatever you wish to not call HimHis love comforts all those who are willing to open their hearts to Him. Praise be to Gd.' 'Religion is the one thing that has never let us down,' Taheri added over the low rumble of AK-47 fire emanating from the nearby home of a radical Israeli rabbi. Taheri is not alone. In a time of seemingly unending conflict between Israelis and Arabs, a growing number of Middle Easterners are fervently embracing the unshakeable wisdom of Judaism and Islam. Palestinian Omar Abdel-Malik, a resident of the Gaza Strip town of Khan Younis, credits his Islamic beliefs for preserving his sanity. 'The Israelis have fired missile upon missile on my neighborhood, but it has only made my trust in Allah that much stronger,' Abdel-Malik said. 'I cringe to think where the people of the Middle East would be right now if it weren't for our steadfast belief in one true, merciful, and loving Supreme Being.' Palestinian widow and mother of three Dareen Idriss agreed, citing the healing power of prayer as a way to cope with the relentless slaughter she and her family witness every day. 'When the children cannot stop crying because of the bombs, we all gather our families in the rubble of the mosque to pray for justice,' Idriss said. 'During this calm meditation, we also pray for the annihilation of the Hebrew race.' An unidentified Palestinian man seeks a renewed resolve through prayer. West Bank settler Ari Chayat, whose neighborhood has also been ravaged by violence, echoed this profound reliance on faith. 'The world is so brutal and unfair,' Chayat said. 'Many days, my uncompromising belief in a vengeful creator is all that gets me out of bed in the morning.' 'If it wasn't for my faith that the God of Abraham has given these lands to Jews and Jews alone by divine decree, I probably wouldn't even be here today,' Chayat added. Lebanese militant Jawad Hamid, who recently lost his best friend to an Israeli helicopter attack while the two men were on their way to pick up a Katyusha rocket, said his faith in Allah was the only way he could cope with the tragedy. 'Every time I want to give up hope, I just open the Quran to my favorite passage, Surah 2:194: 'Whoever acts aggressively against you, inflict injury on him,'' Hamid said. 'Whenever I read those words, I am immediately filled with inspiration and a renewed sense of purpose.' Even political leaders have tapped into the public's reliance on religion and used it as a way to encourage them to never give up. 'In this time of strife, the only way to endure the unending suffering is through an unwavering, uncompromising faith in one's religious beliefs,' Israeli hard-liner Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah went so far as to quote from the Quran in a speech delivered to followers the same afternoon. 'It's always frightening to be reminded of your own mortality, as we all were this past Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday,' Hezbollah commander Mahdi al-Zaidi said. 'But rather than react irrationally, I looked deep within my faith, consulted the Quran, and by the mercy of Allah, I gained the resolve to oversee a massive airstrike against the enemy.' 'We will get through this, so long as we have God on our side,' he added.

Just be ready to go when I honk, said Cobb, who confirmed that he wants to be back home and in the door by 7 p.m. and would not tolerate dawdling, while briefing his daughter in the familys four-door sedan. Are we clear? 6:30 on the dot. Have your shoes on. I dont want to wait around like last time. After pulling out of the driveway, Cobb reportedly proceeded to lower the windows, turn up the volume on the radio, and sing along to the Eagles hit song Take It Easy. 
3	10 Predictions for 2013selfnews Post As we enter 2013, time itself seems to be speeding up or condensing to make the potential for dramatic events more likely. Tipping points appear to have been breached on many fronts, and what waits on the other side is difficult to know. But lets break out the crystal ball here and make some bold predictions for 2013. These predictions werent acquired by some esoteric powers to see the future; rather theyre derived from riding the current wave of information and guessing where that flow may lead. They may seem bold to some, while the most aware readers may recognize them as foregone conclusions. So without further ado, here are our top 10 predictions for 2013: The Baltic Dry index, which is believed to be the best indicator of our consumer economy, suffered a dramatic loss in December. Some say a new recession is already here and the stock market will soon reflect that with a crash in 2013. Look for the Dow Jones to dip below the 10K mark (around 30% or more) next year. 2. Precious metals rise over 50%: Using the same data points as the previous prediction, we predict gold and silver to rise at least 50%. Central banks around the world are snatching up new gold and moving to secure their foreign gold, while investment titans like George Soroshave been increasing their positions where they previously denounced gold as a viable investment. 3. Schools start to install body scanners: Since these recent shootings actually resulted in horrific deaths of innocent people including children, the public is scared enough to accept just about anything. So we predict naked body scanners will begin to appear in schools and other public venues in 2013. There are several reasons for this prediction. The public is clamoring for protection and many inner-city schools already have metal detectors, so the upgrade will be acceptable if not preferred in suburban areas. Next, the body scanner companies who lobby the government need more customers, and they usually get what they want. And, finally, the authorities love to remove our rights in the name of security, making this move a no-brainer. 4. European Union announces central Treasury: The Eurozone debt crisis will once again flare up particularly within the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain), as well as in new countries. Instead of resorting to constantly increasing their rescue fund to bail out ailing European nations, the European Central Bank announced unlimited bond purchasing of any member state in need this September. This action of issuing new debt-based money for the sole purpose of buying debt has become known as quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve. The EU has repeatedly stated the need to form a central Treasury that has the power to collect direct taxes from member states, essentially turning the Eurozone into the United States of Europe. Look for this to come into reality in 2013 with possibly the first EU president elected as well. 5. Marijuana legalization sweeps America and the world: After Colorado and Washington voters proved it can be done, marijuana legalization is an idea whose time has finally come. No amount of fear mongering or lies will stop its liberation now. Although 15 states have decriminalized marijuana possession, along with 18 states with legal medical cannabis, this past election will be viewed as the tipping point in the full-scale legalization of weed. The ripple effects are already traveling quickly as at least7 more states are considering legalization. Meanwhile, Mexico is reconsidering its war on weed and Uruguay is already designing its regulatory rules for legalization, which will make it the first country with full legalization. Expect 2013 and beyond for marijuana legalization to be a foregone conclusion with anyone standing in the way looking extremely foolish. 6. Major cyber attack hits America: All governments and many large corporations want to put more controls on the Internet. However, the general population does not want to see their beloved Internet change, so there must be an event that sways the public to believe that Internet security is a priority. This cant just be some minor attack that hits a small business sector. It would have to be something that inflicts pain on the public; perhaps an extended Internet outage or electric grid crash thats blamed on cyber terrorists would do the trick. Many officials have been predicting a cyber 9/11 or Pearl Harbor event for some time, claiming its not a matter of if but when. That when will be 2013. Major antivirus companies such as McAfee are also warning of just such an event in 2013, labeled Project Blitzkrieg. And just like prior to 9/11, there is freedom-crushing legislation sitting on the shelf just waiting to be enacted if a cyber version of 9/11 were to take place. The level playing field of information on the Internet poses a huge threat to all regimes and their puppet media corporations around the world. They cant wait much longer before putting a stop to the free flow of information; therefore, this attack will be a classic false flag operation. Mark it down, this will happen in 2013. 7. Syrias Assad is toppled:Many pundits predicted this would have happened already, but without a NATO no-fly zone (aka massive air strikes on Assad in a Libya-style destruction) the ragtag rebels have proven to be no match for the Syrian government thus far. However, we have seen that when there is full-scale commitment by NATO, as with Libya, its virtually guaranteed.Sincethe West has increased their support of the Jihadist rebels with training, arms, money, and Patriot missiles in Turkey, their commitment is clear. Furthermore, the UN has warned of sectarian genocide, and U.S. officials have clearly stated the ultimate line in the sand: Assads use of chemical weapons. As if on cue, PressTV and Fars News are reporting that militants have indeed used chemical weapons. Whether or not this particular event is confirmed, expect it to happen at some point in 2013 to be spun as justification to take out the Assad regime its been in the cards for years. 8. West attacks Iran, starts WW3: The toppling of Syria will leave Iran as the only nation in the Middle East not controlled by the West. Besides having vast oil reserves, Iran also has the last strategic public central bank not run by the international banking cartel and they want it. It is the endgame written about by many think tanks. The war with Iran has been years in the making and has already technically begun with crippling economic sanctions and strategic military bases surrounding it. Indeed, World War 3 already began as well when America invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, but this decade-plus-long war is about to get much more intense. Additionally, the establishment will need a distraction from the economic crisis of 2013, and only a large new war will effectively serve that purpose. The West has been goading Iran into an attack for years to justify further aggression. Iran, to their credit, has failed to take the bait. But once Syria falls, the full force of pressure will become too much for Iran to bear and theyll be forced to defend themselves. The West will portray it as aggression against them and launch their attack. The question will be how other super powers like China and Russia react to this aggression against their ally? 9. Food and oil prices break records, again: This might have the highest guarantee of coming true, since it is mathematically impossible for it not to in an era of unlimited money creation, expanding conflicts in oil regions, and record demand but unstable climates for food production. Some food and commodity prices set new record highs in 2012, while oil is still chasing its 2008 high of $147/bbl. First, lets look at oil since it is also a major contributor to the price of food. Oil will have conflicting price pressures in 2013. There will be reduced demand due to a sharp economic downturn, but that will be more than offset by the devalued petrodollar and the fallout of regional conflicts. We predict oil will soar past its previous high to over $150/bbl. This high price of oil will cause food prices to rise significantly since industrial agriculture is utterly dependent on oil from plowing, fertilizing, pesticides, harvesting, processing, to transport. Couple this very real cost to the rush away from stocks into more tangible assets like commodities that are also traded in rapidly devaluing dollars. This speculation will lead to much higher food prices. Throw in more extreme weather, and we have a recipe for a major food crisis. Food will hit new all-time highs in 2013. Average citizens will spend a much higher percentage of their salaries on food in 2013 which will put further pressure on the rest of economic output. Most extremely, a large portion of the population may realize starvation for the first time in their lives. Certainly, we can expect food stamp usage to explode even faster than it has in the last five years. On the upside, bulk food will be one of the best investments for 2013. Many experts point to the rapidly shifting North Pole and the suns awakening to a new solar maximum as major contributors to our changing climate. And speaking of celestial weather, two great comets will appear in 2013 close to Earth whose impact on our weather, if any, is impossible to predict. Additionally, it appears that the Ring of Fire is awakening with increased earthquake and volcanic activity. For 2013, we predict more super storms starting with winter storms that will now be named for the first time, and an even bigger increase in earthquake activity, and more devastating crop damage. Many of these predictions seem negative and scary, but with awareness of their possible outcomes, one can prepare and position themselves to survive and even thrive under conditions which might seem horrific. It is also never to late to reach out to your local community by sharing information in a positive way, and encourage discussion of strategies for enhancing local resistance to larger global events.

1	Reflecting on his time as Iraq's president in a pre-taped television address, Saddam Hussein expressed pride Tuesday that, despite the success of the U.S. invasion and the civilian casualties it has inflicted, he still has killed far more Iraqis than President Bush. Saddam greets admirers during his late-'90s Iraqi-killing heyday. 'George Bush believes he is so powerful, so strong,' Saddam said. 'But even with all of his bombs and missiles and Marines, he has not even come close to killing as many Iraqis as I did.' While estimates of the number of Iraqi civilians killed by the U.S. ranges from 500 all the way to 10,000, Saddam and his associates are believed to have murdered somewhere between 100,000 and 250,000 civilians since 1968. 'The international press counts off on their fingers every Iraqi that dies by Bush's missiles,' Saddam said. 'The papers make a big story of it when six Iraqi civilians are killed by American GIs near Basra, or when 15 Iraqi civilians are killed in air strikes on Baghdad. What paltry death tolls. I cannot even begin to add up how many died in Basra upon my orders, how many in Baghdad I killed with my own gun.' Throughout his presidency, Saddam said he routinely had political opponents arrested and put to death without trial, sometimes along with their entire families. He also summarily executed countless citizens for crimes as minor as petty theft and 'monopolizing rationed goods.' 'The race between myself and Bush is not even close,' Saddam said. 'I easily killed 100 times more men than Bush, not to mention women and children. That's rightwomen and children.' In his suppression of the Shiite Muslims alone, Saddam said he can lay claim to thousands more Iraqi kills than Bush. 'My officers did more damage rounding up students at [the Shiite Muslim theological institution] al-Hawza al-'Ilmiya in al-Najaf than the entire American 3rd Infantry did roaring through all of southern Iraq in their billion-dollar tanks,' Saddam said. 'And my men did not put down their guns just because someone asked for mercy. They finished the job like soldiers. They did not serve food to their enemies as if they were women at a picnic.' Saddam boasted that the 1988 Anfal campaign against the Iraqi Kurds added another 50,000 to his tally. 'In Anfal, we rounded up the battle-age men and put them in front of firing squads,' Saddam said. 'Even today, when you travel through rural Kurdistan, you notice the high proportion of women. That is not because of the U.S. Army. That is not because of the 101st Airborne Division. It is because of meSaddam Hussein, President of Iraq, the Glorious Leader, the Anointed One, Direct Descendant of the Prophet, Great Uncle to the People.' In his campaigns against the Kurds, Saddam crushed unrest with chemical-weapons strikes against civilian populationsa tactic he said Bush 'would never have the nerve to do.' 'I remember the day my cousin [Commander of Southern Forces] Ali [Hassan al-Majid] dropped chemical weapons on the town of Halabja,' said Saddam, referring to the March 1988 slaughter of 5,000 Kurds. 'That is how he got his nickname, 'Chemical Ali.' Much better nickname than 'Dubya,' wouldn't you say?' 'The total number of Kurds we killed could be as high as 110,000, and that is not just an idle boast,' Saddam said. 'The United Nations Sub-Committee on Human Rights has been keeping extensive records of my actions for years.' In fairness to Bush, Saddam conceded that he has had a significant head start killing Iraqis, beginning his political career in the late '60s as a torturer for the Ba'ath party. 'Back in 1969, I turned the execution of 14 alleged anti-government plotters into a major public event, hanging them in a town square and leaving their bodies on display,' Saddam said. 'Already everyone knew my name, and this was still a good 10 years before I would carry out the wave of executions that signaled my rise to power.' In addition to killings, Saddam said he bests Bush in the torture department. 'There is a certain type of torture, which is called al-Khayganiaso named in honor of its creator, former security director al-Khayganiin which the victim is handcuffed and suspended on a piece of wood between two chairs like a chicken,' Saddam said. 'Then, we attach an electric wire to the man's penis and toes. Can you see Bush doing this? Can you see Bush smashing a man's skull with a brick? Can you see him calling for the deaths of his own family members? Pah, he is too weak.' Saddam closed with harsh words for his American rival. 'I recently heard a critic of President Bush say he is a dictator,' Saddam said. 'That made me laugh. George Bush, a dictator! My sons Uday and Qusay showed more viciousness at 10 years of age.' 'Bush has a long way to go before he can match me,' Saddam added. 'My hands are red with the blood of the innocent. His are merely a light pink.' 
2	Youll Never Believe Whos Behind The Rick Perry Indictment Governor Perry recently came under legal fire when he called for a District Attorneys resignation, after she was arrested with an open bottle of vodka in her car and a BAC of .239 percent. He decided to veto funding, because she refused to step down elegantly. While this may make sense to most of us, Perry is now facing felony charges for his actions. And who is behind the program Texans for Public Justice who is bringing charges against the Governor? None other than George Soros. According to reports, the group is part of a coalition that has received $500,000 in funding from the liberal billionaire. According to press, the coalition could change the way the progressive community engages public policy in Texas. Still, most project that Perry will be acquitted of the charges against him. 
1	Tampa Bay Rays officials and Tropicana Field stadium management announced Wednesday night that, due to an unfortunate and unresolved scheduling conflict, the facility would continue to host the first ever Haunted House World Series. Executives apologized for Game 1 being repeatedly interrupted by shrill, gut-wrenching screams emanating from the stadium's sound system, the players' inability to field ground balls around the Infield Maze of Gore, and haunted house actor/Rays third baseman Evan Longoria leaving every half inning to grab his Leatherface mask and chainsaw. According to vice president of stadium operations Rick Nafe, who said he 'deeply regrets' the double booking, dates for the haunted house were reserved in late July, a time when the possibility of the stadium being used for the World Series did not seem realistic to anyone in the Rays' front office. The Rays were two games ahead of the Boston Red Sox in the American League East standings at the time of the booking. 'It's our tradition, each year during Halloween, to transform Tropicana Field into the Spooktacular Spook Dome,' said Nafe, who dressed in a Count Dracula costume for the press conference and spoke to reporters in a Transylvanian accent. 'Coming out to the ballpark to scale the Spook Dome's Catwalk to Hell and spending three demonic minutes inside the flesh-searing Sauna of Satan is what late October at Tropicana Field is all about. Why, this year customers may find out if the evil spirit of Wade Boggs really does haunt this place.' 'Mwah hah haaaaa,' he added. 'So scaaary.' Saying the cold, dank, dilapidated stadium is the perfect place for a house of horrors, Nafe stated that he would under no circumstances relocate the Halloween festivities, even though several customers were taken to the emergency room Wednesday night after being struck in the back and chest with line drives while participating in a Spooky Scavenger Hunt in shallow right field. In addition, Nafe told reporters that Rays team members would continue working as guides and actors in the haunted house, as is clearly stipulated in their player contracts. 'Matt Garza is great at popping up out of the home plate casket dressed as the Wolfman and scaring the bejeezus out of people,' Rays general manager Andrew Friedman said. 'You should have seen the expression on Ryan Howard's face when he was at bat last night. Priceless.' Howard wasn't the only player whose on-field performance was affected. Rays left fielder Carl Crawford repeatedly tripped over the many blood-drenched rubber hands emerging from the outfield turf. Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels mistakenly picked up a handful of spaghetti-textured human entrails instead of his rosin bag. And after entering the Bloodcurdling Clubhouse and witnessing a machete-wielding, hockey-masked Willy Aybar chopping off what he thought were Scott Kazmir's real legs, Rays shortstop Jason Bartlett suffered a massive coronary. Rays center fielder B.J. Upton was unable to play in the game because he was reportedly overseeing the haunted hayride outside the stadium. 'I thought I could handle it this year,' said a visibly shaken Rocco Baldelli, who removed his blindfold to both catch a fly ball and calm his nerves. 'The Spook Dome just keeps getting scarier and scarier. In 2007, it was a bowlful of fake eyeballs that freaked me out even though I knew they were fake, and then this year it was those creepy trees with the blinking eyes.' Added Baldelli, 'I guess all that compounded with the pressure of trying to win a championship for the first time in team history is just too much for me.' 'I'm scared,' Phillies second baseman Chase Utley said. 'I swear to God those spiders were real. Also the dim lights combined with the fog machines make it impossible to see pitches, which is also really frightening.' Though sources from the Phillies and Rays said haunted-house conditions such as the cobweb-strewn dugout chandeliers, ghoulish noises coming from seemingly everywhere, and Tropicana Field's horrific batted-ball-hitting-the-catwalk rule could hurt their World Series chances, they conceded that both teams have to play through the same tough elements. Tampa Bay residents, however, weren't as understanding. 'These baseball games are getting in the way of the haunted house,' Adam Caldwell, 32, said. A majority of locals seemed to echo Caldwell's sentiments. As of press time there are still thousands of tickets available for Games 2, 6, and 7 of the World Series. Tickets for the haunted house, however, have been sold out since August. 
1	According to an alarming new Department of Defense report combining civilian, military, and calendric evidence, Iran may be as few as nine years away from the year 2016. 'Every day they get one day closer,' Defense Secretary Robert Gates said during a White House press conference Tuesday. 'At the rate they're going, they will reach 2016 at the same time as the United Statesand given their geographic position relative to the international date line, possibly even sooner.' The report recommended that the U.S. engage in bellicose international posturing, careless brinksmanship, and an eventual overwhelming series of nuclear strikes in order to prevent Iran from reaching this milestone. 
3	72 Types Of Americans That Are Considered Potential Terrorists In Official Government DocumentsBy Michael Snyder If you answered yes to any of those questions, you are a potential terrorist according to official U.S. government documents. At one time, the term terrorist was used very narrowly. The government applied that label to people like Osama bin Laden and other Islamic jihadists. But now the Obama administration is removing all references to Islam from terror training materials, and instead the term terrorist is being applied to large groups of American citizens. And if you are a terrorist, that means that you have no rights and the government can treat you just like it treats the terrorists that are being held at Guantanamo Bay. So if you belong to a group of people that is now being referred to as potential terrorists, please dont take it as a joke. The first step to persecuting any group of people is to demonize them. And right now large groups of peaceful, law-abiding citizens are being ruthlessly demonized. Below is a list of 72 types of Americans that are considered to be extremists and potential terrorists in official U.S. government documents. To see the original source document for each point, just click on the link. As you can see, this list covers most of the country 1.Those that talk about individual liberties The groups of people in the list above are considered problems that need to be dealt with. In some of the documents referenced above, members of the military are specifically warned not to have anything to do with such groups. We are moving into a very dangerous time in American history. You can now be considered a potential terrorist just because of your religious or political beliefs. Free speech is becoming a thing of the past, and we are rapidly becoming an Orwellian society that is the exact opposite of what our founding fathers intended. Please pray for the United States of America. We definitely need it. About the author: Michael T. Snyder is a former Washington D.C. attorney who now publishes The Truth. His new thriller entitled The Beginning Of The End is now available on Amazon.com. I have seen some of the same items posted on government forums. What he has written isnt complete BS or even tinfoil hattery (isnt it funny how totalitarians constantly use the insanity propaganda?). I agree that the compiler of the list should have cited the sources. People are too afraid to believe whats going on until it has actually neared the point of no return also historically predictable. Constantly spout the tired old Marxist, collectivist nonsense and you should be okay. If you can do it with a straight face, you may even get rewarded for being so very useful. This is a little late, but I had to go study some history outside my hillbilly universe!! [two exclamation points for double emphasis] Whats a socialist?? [two questions Marx, I mean Marks I mean] Id be interested in knowing what books you might recommend that place Obama as a free-market capitalist dedicated to individual effort, self-governance, and actual freedom untethered economic freedom as opposed to one who vomits phrases like fundamental transformation of America and spread the wealth around and you didnt build that without considering the implications of those statements in their historical context. Or is he fully aware of the context? Or did he simply mis-speak? Do we judge him by his words when ones words can be twisted and taken out of context? Do we judge him by his actions? What is his signature piece of legislation, the piece he is proudest of? An act that moves us toward socialized medicine, isnt it? Certainly his brand of collectivism is geared to appeal to the modern masses but is collectivism none-the-less. This is merely anecdotal, but consider his treatment of Margaret The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples money. Thatchers funeral. Not even a lowering of the flag. Compare that to Obamas treatment of the death of Nelson Comrade Mandela. Flags were lowered. Carefully crafted speeches were shared. Vacations to South Africa were planned for and taken (oh the good, good will of it all). This is the same Nelson Mandela, who the South African Communist Party spoke of in this manner: In Comrade Mandela we had a brave and courageous soldier, patriot and internationalist who, to borrow from Che Guevara [that puke], was a true revolutionary guided by great feelings of love for his people, an outstanding feature of all genuine peoples revolutionaries. http://www.forbes.com/sites/paulroderickgregory/2012/01/22/is-president-obama-truly-a-socialist/ http://www.workers.org/articles/2013/12/06/statement-south-african-communist-party-nelson-mandela/ Here is my favorite along the same lines: Supremism So, if you have a belief system that you think is superior to other belief systems, then you are a supremacist? Do they really believe that? Youve got to FEEL the idea. You cant THINK the idea. Thinking is what individuals do. Cant have that. I dont know how legitimate this article is, but according to what it reads, the definition of terrorist no longer applies to its original and specific meaning according to the federal government. Lets define a terrorist in its most simplistic of terms: An individual who is motivated to inflict horror, panic, fear, distress, and anxiety in another individual, or group of individuals. According to official government documents, the term terrorist is now being defined by the current administration in a form that encompasses large groups of American citizens as potential terrorists, or terrorists. It appears to me that the broadening of the term terrorist has been expanded to fit the needs for the protection of the US government against the powers of the citizens of the United States of America. Last time I checked, our country is run FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE. Am I correct? Do we live in a democratic republic, or a kleptocratic government system? If this article holds legitimacy, then its entirely fair to say a kleptocratic element actively exists within our system of government that is slowly turning the tables in favor of government tyranny, and against the power of US citizens. If the government does not fear the power of the people, the people will be stripped of their rights, liberties, and freedoms as a result of the governments efforts to redefine its citizens as terrorists or potential terrorists through definition of broad and sweeping legal interpenetration that will result in a significant condemnation and persecution of a significantly large portion of citizens in this country. Always remember, a well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed upon. This is Constitutional law, and must be upheld. If by upholding this Constitutional amendment classifies me as a terrorist by the U.S. government, then it also classifies me as an American patriot who values liberty and freedom over oppression, tyranny. This article is absolutely legitimate. In 2014, right in the army training manuals at Fort Hood in Texas, new recruits were told that if they were caught associating in any way with the Tea Party or evangelical Christians, that they would be arrested court martialed. When this was reported by the alternative media, it was called a conspiracy theory. Then a short time later the secretary of the army went on main stream media and publicly made an apology, and said it was going to stop. The problem with that is that it hasnt stopped. Sorry paranoid dumbass, Im actively involved and have friends still in the military. NO SUCH THING EXISTS AT FORT HOOD NOR DID IT EVER. so you are every were on base at all times or could it have happened and you did not hear about it. SGT. USMC. I call bullshit. Post the manuals which you claim say this. Soldiers dont think, they react and are trained to do so. They are to follow orders no matter how ridiculous, not doing so would have repercussions. This is pure unadulterated uncut Tierney in your face ,this is the overthrow of our government and all who died for freedom ,its up to we the people to bring those in that class who are calling us names down ,there are nothing but unadulterated communist to the core seeking control of the world and the distruction of our freedom ! All you cups, military, people in FBI, CIA, and any other agency that Obama has thrown under the bus better be willing to fight for what you swore been over two and thats the constitution Theyll fight for whomever signs their paycheck. Dont count on them to be on your side. Some of them will I agree with you however some of them do have ethic about them and a patriotic sense!if they do for the money and power ,however if they do they will be administering illegal orders and will be no different than Hitlers minions SS and will be subject to whatever is thrown at them by the people and the people are not going to lay down and let them Transylvan like ESS did I agree Jack some will, however those who choose Power and money over there oath of office will be committing a crime against the Constitution and will be subject to whatever is thrown at them by the people just as Hitlers SS did and in the end those who follow and take Obamas orders for such dastardly deed will be brought to trial just as Hitlers minions were! That is very, very true. It is a sad reflection on these pipers (paid to betray the nation), that: He who pays the piper calls the tune. However, the pipers are not the Judass. The Judass are the ones who pay the pipers to do their bidding. And of course the Judass are your democratically elected government. Remember that! Sad isnt it Steve? We have come to a point of such internal strife and in fighting that we have all but lost sight of our real goals. And what is really sad is that our veterans, of which I am one, are now being consider a danger to this nation, the very nation we fight and die for. This goes to show that we have sunk so low as a respected nation both at home and abroad that we are going to have to make changes now or forever lose what we now have. It is appalling at the very lest that our government has twisted these definitions to their advantage all the while showing the ultimate disrespect and disdain for the way this nation has grown and prospered over the centuries. Me too brother Id qualify for about 20 at least on that list and served honorably twice , as did my father and my son currently ! II Chronicles 7:14, do it now. This is a bullshit opinion article. NONE OF IT IS FACTUAL. are people really so dumb they cant identify fact from opinion? Did you even bother to check the articles sources (e.g. the documents linked within the post)? Apparently not. these things on the list is what most repubs believe.this is the lefts way of shutting down the repubs .this is how much the progressives think of us .they are like nazis wanting to put us in jail for our beliefs.they want to have total controll. If this is true, time for another civil war. They are, and have been, actively working toward that for some time now. Thats what they want us to do. Next idea? It is legitimatealthough I have not clicked on the links (yet), I have read many documents and they are completely in line with what is asserted hereinhowever, the author left out those who are considered constitutionalists, or those who uphold the constitution, as they are also considered terrorists, according to documents that I have seen. Made short and sweet, we are Oligarchy / Fascism. Sounds more like a list of unhappy voters than terrorists. Only a politician can come up with a list like this. Especially if there is an issue they dont like and the voters keep bugging him about it. Then its either the IRS or the Psychiatrists that come after you. So there you have it. Is the photo real? They might as well have said that the Founding Fathers of this great Nation Under God are terrorists too. After reading this I was thinking that maybe it would have been easier to just post my picture instead of making this list.LOL. Obama and his Regime are the teal terrorists of America, his ISIS buddies, and the NWO of the Democrats, and BLM terrorists all of them. Obama wants everyone to think anyone who disagrees with his fascist Regime is a terrorist. Then call me a terrorist, I could care less, I disagree with everything that liar Obama stands for because its not American, never was America that fool stands for. Precisely. The Amerikan government is at war with the American people and is desperately afraid that the American people are beginning to realize the fact and will reciprocate. Semper Fi!! You are exactly right, Brother. I wonder if, when it all comes down, will the military actually turn their guns on us patriots? Have they drank that much of Obamas liberal Kool-ade? i saw an interview of a military member during hurricane katrina saying i never thought it would come to this referring to the fact he was going door to door disarming people. he was shocked at the ordeal, but still carried out his orders like a little b*tch! Obama wants war, he wants to call for marshal law, so he can stay in office, I expect him to do just that, wait and see,I believe Hillary is being set up by the Democrats, that is why old Joe isnt running. Something is up, but were not going to know about it until it happens. When the time comesBE PREPARED. I was not a Marine, but I have the highest respect for all that you do when called upon to defend the United States of America. Thank you for your service, Air Force vet. This post makes me want to go add a couple more guns and another few thousand rounds of ammo same here, but the government has made sure im too poor to afford to. lol. i run a cash business. they have no idea how much i make nor where i spend the cash- swap meet buying my stockpiles. hehe Guilty n almost all the 72 categories. Me, too! I missed out on 12 categories but the government may redefine me into them at any moment. i missed out on 18-20. im not a member of any organization, not a veteran, i dont politicize religion because i dont believe there should be politics. i dont have any bumper stickers on my truck, but im going to scroll the anarchist symbol into the mud today, so maybe that counts. i supported ron paul for president before i realized that A) my vote doesnt count and B) we dont need a government of any kind anyways. According to this article everyone reading this story is a potential terrorist. Its ridiculous. the real terrorist are all in washingto d.c. I fit several of these definitions so Im a terrorist and I didnt even realize it! well then i guess i am classified a terrorist, but then i would rather be a terrorist , then a freak like the moron in the white house, that thinks beheading and burning people alive are moral activities by his reliegous beliefs , seems no one is willing to put a stop to the madness so why should i care , just be ready for the war that is coming I only see a too large government overstepping problem. Not many left out of the list other than queers and democrats!! As enemy #1 of dictators of public need and a co-founder of the libertarian International Society for Individual Liberty, now in 90 nations, Whether the links are spurious or not, the list is accurate, though it did miss atheists and 26 different types of libertarians. Creative solutions to pull the benevolence rug out from under the stateists, are such as my research in Percentage As You Earn (%AYE) medical Finansurance offering de facto access for all to care in the free market, versus brittle mystical installment payments. No fascist forcing of private installments required, no Hitlary or Trump single fuehrer payer takeover beyond the 65% of medicine the state already has. Income-contingent finance can denationalize 92% of mortgages and 40% of the vehicle credit field. We can privatize self-supporting universities as Duke Yale did with %AYE financed tuition loans of about 3.5% of income for 15 years for every $10,000 borrowed1970 I guess that I am an enemy of the government administration because I hit several, more than several actually, on that list. But as I say, I love my country but fear my government! Does that get me on the list too? Guess so! The Labels are describing just about everybody under the Sun,Starting with Obozo,..,what Idiots!,.. The terrorist is the illegal occupier or the Oval Office and the Socialist Democratic party members. Tyranny is the order of the day. We see here a listing of patriotic Constitutional American citizens. If this isnt an indictment of our government of the banksters and for the corporatist facists, what-the-hell is?? Oh heck, well just bend over a wee bit further and ask may I please have another one sir? It is clear that we are on the threshold of a state of emergency, on the basis of which either the present hospital-bombing muslim war criminal or his bloodstained bribe-collecting chosen successor will establish a one-party dictatorship and deliver a mexicanized country into the hands of a United Nations dominated by a nuclear-armed caliphate. Every citizen who does not want to be the subject of a tyrannical world government should be prepared to resist suspension of the Constitution, abrogation of the Bill of Rights beginning with the Second Amendment, prolongation of the presidential term or the taking of a third term and prorogation or limitation of the powers of the Congress. No wonder the world calls us stupid Americans. Today obastard enjoys a 50% approval rating??WTF Things written by a Schizophrenic government without meds. Well Obama said he would fundamentaly change America and he has. Now if you are a Chrisitan your terrorist, but if you are a terrorist then you have no problems in America. Hope everyone who voted for this dictator gets in trouble first and soon. Maybe if enough Dems get in trouble he can be impeached and America can return to the values and laws that made up the great country we were before Obama was sworn in. You mean which kind of listed terrorist YOU ARE NOT. Should be any day now then! You could be Obummers brother for all we know. But the government officials are above the law and dont live by the same rules as the rest of us. Ever. Its apparent we are not governed BY THE PEOPLE. Without dissecting these too closely,it looks to me like progressives are guilty of Numbers 3,8,30,37,51. Looks like muslims would be guilty of 8,10,14,29,30,33,35,36,37,51,52,53,62, 71. In fact,who wouldnt be arrested IF they practiced following their own rules? This is a KILL LIST for the New Junta in DC. Like any other banana republic has kill lists, so does this totalitarian Police state. You write that and get posted. I write the translation of new world order and they hold my comment for approval?! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?! Who knows! ha Financial advisor said when your currency gains color you know you economy is defunct and your vountry is in a failed state. i heard that too from a couple different sources. now we have the rainbow $100 bills. its the nicely wrapped and polished turd. worth about 4 cents as a wall decoration or toilet paper I have not heard that but it makes sense. My preference would be the pre-1996 currency. My real preference would be silver and gold. Does the Constitution not call for our currency to be silver and gold? Yes it did but it was amended. Remember? You are behind in the game. You need to get started now. Do not purchase more than 10,000. at any given time at any given place. There are many reputable place do your homework. Personally I do not buy more than a couple hundred at a time. Ive been doing this for years though. Dont get caught up in them housing it for your because once the call is made and our money is defunct you WILL NOT have access.You can purchase pre 1964 coin bags. Stop sending me emails if you dont want truthful comments Wow. Its amazing how many of those categories I fit into. How about you? Well, it does exclude liberals and their useful idiots. And Muslims. Theyre not terrorists. Well, yes, that is what the regime and all its lackeys would say. Refer to rules 35,36,and 51 (sharia law) I do believe that is because they are in our Capitol making Law. The USA has been hijacked and attacked from within. The enemy is in the White House. I guess Im guilty of all 72. i wander how many camps and prison to hold all of us? every one is guilt of at least one of the 72. Indeed brother; Im guilty as well. Do you think it is reality and just a matter of time; or scare tactics? (the camps, etc.) Agree, every one sure is guilty of at least one of these 72. I do not know, Kim to me its more like Social engineering which seems to be popular these days with them, which we cannot accept. but we have an advocate that has good advice. at 5:25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. and Luk_12:58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. Perfect advice and thank you for posting what we are to adhere to instead of what we are in the midst of and just react to, you know. They sure make it as confusing as possible in the media as to getting any truth it seems. Just not going to happen; or they will speak a bit of truth with twisting it up with their lies. Im wrestling with thinking how can we survive this regime running our country even before the arrival of anti- Christ. Like, I know what to do when the vile one gets here; its just surviving long enough to even be alive when he does. Do you know what I mean, or am I not making sense? Thanks so very much Richard for your help and time and ill be seeing you on the WEB. God Bless you and yours, in Jesus name. HI KIm, i do know what you mean, but dont forget what Job went thru he was an example of a good man whom the LORD loved, and trusted the Lord his GOD and lost everything that Satan was allowed to take, and then the three Hebrew children thrown in the fiery furnace, so how much more will He protect you in these end times ?? dont let the worlds side show distract you like it did Peter: Mat 14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. Hiya Richard! Thank you so very much brother! You certainly have helped me by reminding me of Peter when he took his eye off of Jesus. Stay focused on CHRIST is the most perfect advice I could have been reminded of. What a blessing you have been on this one for me here Richard. I like the truthful way that you put; worlds side show. So true, as that is all it is for sure. Again, im most Grateful for your help and Gods Word in scripture to point me in His direction of staying focused. May God continue Blessing you and yours, in Jesus name. The definitions do not apply to the elites. I am what I am. A terrorist. It will not apply to the feds. Without one shot being fired and during the presidency of Barry Soetoro (aka Barack Hussein Obama), the enemy within the United States of America is at the helm of the constitutional republic. In short: A lack of education goes a long way to pervert politics and corrupt the money and banking system. Well it looks like #36 is about the muslims and #39 is the BLM movement. Be sure to report those to this control freak of a pres. Damn, I went down the list and about a third of them apply to me. Guess Id better take down my Gadsden flag and just throw away all my guns and ammo, stop talking to friends about Agenda 21 and for sure NEVER say anything bad about that p.o.s. sitting in the oval office. This is why our for Fathers and most Americans knew that we must have the right too bare arms!! Men and Women can get real big heads when people start yelling their names? This is why our Military has all kinds of different races! Its going to be real hard to ask troops to fire on their own kind?! I dont know where this artical gets its information? I havent seen anything that says that!?I am a Marine and nobody is pulling anything over my eyes! You would be surprised how many x Military are paying a lot of attention to whats going on! God Bless all of us! When the American people wake up and realize the terrorists are the ones running the government this county will be a much better place and regain its place as the leader of the free world and not the pathetic joke the liberal freaks want it to be. Well, I suppose I just cant comment on these articles any longer. I hereby take back everything I have said on this forum. Just kidding. I meant every word! Liberal coffins are the real small ones. Built to accommodate their small brains! I want a big one. Steve, this list came out in the early 90s and is published in an FBI pamphlet that was passed out in either Arizona or Nevada to the LEOs there. Heck, the globalists themselves hide behind many of these descriptions all the time in order to deceive. Just one word Trump. Hes the only one with the guts and the balls to gut these useless federal agencies like a fish, build a real wall along the Mexican border and throw out every Muslim and Mexican (future democrat voters) who has come here since 9/11. Between that and eliminating every EO signed by Obama, The Bushs and Clinton, we can have a nice reset that will delete the growth of government power and scope since Reagan left office. Enough of these career politicians and their financially supportive special interests. When I speak to individuals,mregardless of their political persuasion, I can usually find that we agree on six or seven main issues that face this country. We have deadlock because our useless politicians focus on device exploded issues and breaking all of us into groups. What has always made this country strong has been individuals working together with other individuals in their own communities to solve problems. These solutions were arrived at with no though to race, religion, sexual persuasion or gender. Those are the most STUPID criteria to make most important and put first prior to any discussion of problem solving. Enough of this crap Looks like a laundry list Goebbels would be proud of. Yeah yeahand they didnt mention that Obama is a domestic terrorist and on the FBIs list and they failed to mention people of a certain countries that scream death to Americans, or death to every jewwhos the terrorist group that made up this list? All the Krapp-Suckers on Welfare, The 2 most Preferred/Favored, Protected [like Manatees] Minority Recipient Races, think our Govt. is Jus Fin Except; since when does this government follow any Law? Feel quite sure that this list does not apply to them. If only. Looks like that would cover at least 100 million Americans. I think obama is out-numbered. Basically they can label anyone a terrorist. If being an American patriot, freedom loving, flag waving, God loving, reader of Gods word, proud veteran means that I am a terrorist, then yes I am a terrorist. What do these people want our country to look like without those qualities that made our way of life possible in the first place? If their way of life would be any better than mom and apple pie. I sure would like to hear from the liberal progressives as to what and how that way of life is any better than what we are experiencing now? The baby boom generation has it pretty good for now. What about our kids and grand kids? What kind of legacy are we leaving them? What kind of life will they have after we are gone? Do I think we are leaving the world in better shape than it was when I was born into it 68 years ago? Given the way we are or seem to be headed, no I dont. And then we have a choice to make should that day come for those of us who refuse to stick our heads in the sand. We can either lay down and be mounted, or stand and be counted. Which are you going to choose to do? Besides, when they declare that cash is no longer king its game over! Remember money makes the world go around? What then??? They are working on a one world currencythey just have not informed us of what currency it will be. basically if you arent part of the government that enjoys torturing, beating and murdering innocent unarmed people.. youre a terrorist?? I define Terrorists as 1. Obama. 2. Congress (House Senate). 3. The Not So Supreme Court, etc. The time is nearer than people think. Unite and make a stand for your rights before its too late. If its not already. I clicked on several of the sources for those 72 links. How you came to such erroneous conclusions from such sources is beyond me. Twist the truth for your readers much? Im not trusting of our government. But you have no right to come so close as to nearly lie to your readers by hoping they wont actually check out the sources to discover how they are being manipulated with this article. Shame on you. Imagine that nothing about leftist , progressives , socialist , communist or basically the Demoncratic party ! I thought I read that anyone that stockpiles ammunition is a terrorist. Well then the govt is a terrorist by their own list, because they are stockpiling ammumition among other things. Take a look, # 62 if I remember right. Anyone who even has more than a 7 day supply of food in their home is considered a terrorist. That is in the NDAA. Like they say in Texas, I thought conservatives were all for profiling. Yall realize this is what this is, right? careful what you wish for . Lol. Drat. Only made 38 of them. Have to try harder to piss off Obummer and his butt buddies. According to this I must be on every Alphabet Government watch list there is.God Bless the United States of America (Those that used to say they were a resident of America were immediately red-flagged by the US Border Patrol/ US Customs Service) for all of you who think that the military is not going to go against you, you need to check out the 29 Palms Survey. Things have changed. A lot. I dont know about anyone else on here but I am DAMN proud to be considered a potential terrorist/extremist/super-patriot/rabble-rouser etc etc etc:) It lets me and mine know for a fact that we have been right all along and clarifies all pertinent targets. Wow 24 ticks on that list and im a woman ? Go figger i always thought of myself as a freedom loving anarchist who believes in no rulers , i guess that just got me another tickey on the listy , tc all and remember be positive , listen to all , follow none . Read the book, you are 100% right. Mr. Griffin hit the nail on the head. Your correct, but it would never have gotten this far if WE the PEOPLE had showed some guts and put a stop to it before it reached this stage. I must admit, I am quite surprised to see an Archbishop speaking out on these issues. Does your Father know that you are so rebellious? LOL Well, so far He hasnt hit me with a lightening bolt. LOL. Actually, it is and has been a false assumption that the clergy are not supposed to get involved in politics, but when you stop and think about it, so much of politics has to do with moral issues.. Being a member of the Orthodox Catholic Church clergy, I am not constrained by the Vatican either. Did you know that during the Revolutionary War, it was the clergy who were the most outspoken in favor of the war and they rallied their congregations to get involved and fight on the side of the colonies? They were so good at getting their people to join the militias that the British referred to them (the clergy) as the Black Robed Brigade. Now I know why all government agencies are arming up. The guv might have cut military spending, but the moved the money to other agencies so they can buy guns. Its a bullshit list made up by a paranoid right winger. if you want to make America better youre a terrorist LMFAO. Do you dumbasses not know the differences between factual opinion piece? Well actually, you are close, but no cigarwhile what you said is true, it began before 1913 it began when the United States of America was incorporated in Delaware in the 1700s. Its a business just like any otherit just happened to have taken over every aspect of our lives. While everyone is running around blaming its most recent CEO (Obama), they do not realize that he can only do what the board of directors authorize and/or direct him to do. Additionally, there was never any allowance for a Senate in our government. The senate met secretly for 5 years before being installed within the current system. (that fact has been conveniently removed from view, by the way) There is so much more to all this, but I digress. Its called cognitive dissonance. Some of us have known for years. Thanks for sharing, as a side note:Six months later Justice Mahoney was found dead (allegedly by poison) interesting to say least. ive seen that video before, but thanks for finding it again for me. eventually ill post it to spybook (facebook). im trying to bring my extended family out of the dark. i think they may have already blocked me but it never hurts to try. liberal logic is difficult to work with. then put me on that list because I will defend the CITIZENS of this great nation against its enemiesif that happens to be our own government then Im going to war with Washington. wool over the eyes = is clinically known as cognitive dissonance look it up sometime. You will be shocked.and depressed,and dismayed All true Americans are terrorist so that means our govt isnt America but moslim dictator or enemy WOW Im proud Im 100 % sure I hit all 72 so I am a GREAT AMERICAN. Semper Fi @Michael Synder correct your grammar. When referring to person(s) it is who, not that. Its a pet peeve of mine. Crassly, I see it everywhere. Still curious to know how people get on the Disposition Matrix and whether this list is involved. If so, were legitimately screwed. This concept was more succinctly described in a segment of the HBO series Newsroom. The character that was the news anchor in a rant described the characteristics of the tea party / american taliban. I wont list them here and suggest you see the episode Tea Party The American Taliban on U-Tube. 4 dynamic steps to begin a better world: The picture is totally photoshopped. Its prophecy that what is happening where wrongs become right and rights become wrongslive, love, laugh like its your last day. I bet that Muslimes are nowhere to be found in that list. . . The author exposes his crazy brain in the end of this article: Pray for the US. Nut job religionists are the most dangerous people in the country because religion rotted the parts of their brains that enable critical thinking. Theyre cultists. Period. No better than mindless zombies following orders of their handlers. Not like the christianists havent and arent doing the exact same thing, but thats okay in your book, because you need to LABEL everyone not like you as the bad ones. pathetic. WOW, the list of all the groups i need to be a member of right here for my convienience! OUT FRESKING _ STANDING!!!! I think, therefore Im a terrorist. An American citizen, not US subject. The terms terror and terrorism and terrorist were this is no longer a debate is it?. Also this is being done regardless by the way you live, the sites you visit etc, this also classifies the rest wich leaves?. after a while it seems just a downward spiral to a cultist drone. I think it is bullshit,,,,,,if not me and just about everyone I know is on that list 
1	According to area resident Larry Bohannon, 33, a member of the U.S. Marine Corps for seven years, this rain is nothing. 'You call this rain? This ain't rain,' Bohannon said to coworker Jeff Smalley, looking out the window of the Jiffy Lube where he now works. 'I was stationed in the Philippines back in '93they had tsunamis that ripped the palm trees right out of the ground.' Continued Bohannon: 'We'd do 400 push-ups every morning, even at the height of monsoon season. There'd be 50-foot waves crashing over us, but Sgt. Culpepper would make us keep going. Believe me, Jeff, you've never seen rain like that.' 
3	Activist Moms Confront EPA About Roundup HerbicideLily Dane It is widely known that glyphosate is profoundly damaging to human health. Two major peer-reviewed studies showed links to breast cancer cell proliferation and intestinal and gut damage, which can lead to diseases such asdiabetes,gastrointestinal disorders, heart disease, obesity, autism, Parkinsons and Alzheimers. Research conducted in 2010 suggests that glyphosate may be linked to birth defects. Regulators and of course, Monsanto claim glyphosate is excreted from the body. But studies disproved that: the chemical has been detected in urine samples, blood samples, and even breast milk. Today, regulators from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) met with a group of mothers, scientists, environmentalists and others who say they are worried about Roundup residues found in breast milk. That meeting is a result of the persistence of a group called Moms Across America, a national coalition of mothers whose mission is to increase awareness of GMOs. They are demanding a recall of Roundup. Despite the evidence that the ingredient is harmful to health, the government not only hasnt banned its use it has actually permitted an increase in the allowed glyphosate levels in consumable goods and declared the new threshold minimally toxic. And the chemical doesnt only harm people environmentalists, consumer groups and plant scientists from several countries have said in recent years that heavy use of glyphosate is causing problems for plants and animals as well. In 2011, U.S. government scientists said they detected significant levels of glyphosate in air and water samples. Yet, widespread use of the product is still allowed. Considering the revolving door for employees of the government and Monsanto, should we really expect the EPA to do anything about protecting us from this toxin? The EPA has a long history of colluding with and protecting industry. In fact, a recently-released book written by a former EPA employee exposes the agencys corruption and disregard for the safety of the American public. The book, called Poison Spring: The Secret History of Pollution and the EPA, details the case of whistleblower Cate Jenkins, an EPA scientist who brought attention to what she considered to be Monsantos fraudulent claim that exposure to dioxin did not cause cancer in workers. Author E. G. Vallianatos worked for the EPA for 25 years, and sawfirsthand not only the science that found toxicity in the pesticides Big Agriculture has been applying to crops, but how those discoveries played out within a highly politicized EPA over five presidential administrations. I wish that group of mothers luck, and admire them for their tenacity and dedication, but I dont expect the FDA one of the most corrupt and overreaching government agencies in existence today to care what citizens want or think. However, raising awareness and making our voices heard are steps in the right direction, and are certainly far better than being complacent and apathetic victims of big industry and increasing government corruption.

3	Would You Accept a 2-Sixpack Possession Limit For Alcohol?Eric Blair Since the comparison safer than alcohol convinced many of you fence-sitters to support cannabis legalization, I ask you: would you support limits on how much alcohol a person could possess? Each of the states where recreational marijuana is legal have put restrictions on the amount allowed for personal possession. Legal weed states possession limits: Washington: Washington allows for personal possession of 1 ounce of marijuana for adults, but doesnt allow for cultivation for either personal use or distribution. Its still a class C felony to grow any amount without a commercial or medical license. Residents face a complicated step-down of fines and punishments beyond these limits and for marijuana infused items. Its considered the most restrictive legalization state so far. See more details here. Oregon: Adults in Oregon can now possess up to 8 ounces (one half pound) of cannabis flowers but are limited to carrying 1 ounce in public. Personal cultivation of 4 plants per household is also allowed under the new as long as plants are hidden from public view. Persons are also allowed to transfer 1 ounce to another party free of charge. Then a convoluted menu of permissions and punishments applies to items made from cannabis. Oregon is considered the most free of all states to date. See more on the new law here. Alaska: Alaskas new law allows for personal possession of up to an ounce in public and cultivation (or transportation) of up to 6 plants with 3 or fewer being mature flowering plants. The law also allows the personal transfer of up to an ounce to adults without remuneration. Again, these limits are followed by a graduated punishment scale. See all of the details here. You almost have to laugh imagining the authorities trying to police these arbitrary restrictions on a legal substance. It begs the question; if its safer than alcohol, to be regulated like it, why have any possession restrictions? Every pot smoker for 5000 years or longer has known that marijuana is significantly safer than alcohol. Yet it took an organized medical marijuana movement to open the door to legalization. Perhaps thats why the public is conditioned to think in terms of limited prescription amounts? The success of medical marijuana has not just been in proving its natural health benefits, but in proving to skeptics that it generates revenue and that the people involved arent scary criminals. However, just because we can legally buymedical cannabis seedsonline andwill no longer be assaulted by shady drug dealers or no-knock SWAT raids in a few states, doesnt mean freedom has been achieved yet. I never supported marijuana legalization because it has health benefits, or because its safer than alcohol, or because it can be taxed. I support legalization because I own my body, not the State. Consequently, I believe personal possession or ingestion of anything should not be a crime (nor should there ever be forced medication in any form for the same reason). When peaceful victimless behavior is criminalized, the State, by their aggressive prosecution of forbidden behavior, is the only entity creating victims. This couldnt be more obvious than the FBIs recent seizure of darknet drug markets which were self-regulated solutions to the dangerous black market created by prohibition. All participants in these marketplaces were there voluntarily and the platform reinforced honorable behavior. Few, if any, victims resulted from these markets until the FBI smashed and robbed them, kidnapping a few tech geeks for an extended stay in labor camps. It boggles my mind how anyone can still believe that an actual war with spying, guns and prisons destroying peoples futures and families is safer for society than dealing with even the worst effects of drug dependency. As Dr. Ron Paul is fond of saying, If we cant even keep drugs out of prisons, how do we expect to keep them out of a free society? At least the war on cannabis is slowly coming to an end, but theres still a long way to go before common sense is achieved. Either you own your body or not. And marijuana is either a legal substance with no possession limits or its not. Compromise on these issues is not logical or practically enforceable. More by Eric Blair 
2	VIDEO: Fox News Reporter Grills Hillary About Benghazi Involvement Hillary Clinton just cant seem to escape backlash from her involvement in the Benghazi incident. Her reputation does little to support rumored desires to run for President in 2016. Now, she is receiving public criticism from reporters like Charles Krauthammer for Fox News, who believes that Hillary is intentionally leaving questions about her involvement unanswered. To date, Hillary is yet to provide any information that clears up what actually took place in Benghazi. According to Krauthammer, this only adds to public skepticism about the former First Ladys integrity. Further, he argues that her inability to answer the questions properly reveal her weakness as politician. Krauthammer argues that Hillarys answers have, in fact, gotten worse over time. She has not been able to clear her name, or provide any information that gives insight into the true natures of the event that took place. Watch the scathing interview here: 
2	No American Flag At DNC, But The Flag They Raised Instead Will Make Your FURIOUS At the Republican National Convention, we saw an incredibly display of pride for and concern about America. In contrast, the Democratic National Convention is almost completely void of any American flags. Not only is the stage bland and grey, the flag and our national colors are difficult to spot anywhere. There is one flag flying proudly though. The Daily Caller reports that the Palestinian Flag is being displayed with dignity. Even if you turn away from the stage, there are no flags in the crowd either. There are very few outward patriots in the audience. What a difference from the Republican National Convention. What do you think? Is this absolutely ridiculous? 
2	Angry Muslims Attack Phil Robertson After Goes On Fox News And Says THIS Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson is no stranger to controversy. Now, after a recent appearance on Fox News, he is once again in hot water. Robertson told Sean Hannity that the main source of the worlds turmoil was the absence of Jesus. No Jesus with Hitler, with the Nazis, Robertson began. No Jesus. They wanted to dominate the world and they were famous for murder. The Shintoists came along. No Jesus there, Sean. They were famous for murder. They wanted to conquer the world. Look at the blood that was spilled with those two. Then comes Communism. No Jesus with them either and they wanted to conquer the world and they slaughtered millions. So you have murder, murder, murder. As if those claims werent enough to have liberals furious, Robertson went on to compare these patterns to Islamic terrorism. Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

3	The Baltic Dry Shipping Index Just Collapsed To An All-Time Record LowBy Michael Snyder Overall, the Baltic Dry Index is down more than 60 percent over the past 12 months. Global demand for shipping is absolutely collapsing, and yet very few experts seem alarmed by this. If you are not familiar with the Baltic Dry Shipping Index, the following is a pretty good definition fromInvestopedia A shipping and trade index created by the London-based Baltic Exchange that measures changes in the cost to transport raw materials such as metals, grains and fossil fuels by sea. The Baltic Exchange directly contacts shipping brokers to assess price levels for a given route, product to transport and time to delivery (speed). The Baltic Dry Index is a composite of three sub-indexes that measure different sizes of dry bulk carriers (merchant ships) Capesize, Supramax and Panamax. Multiple geographic routes are evaluated for each index to give depth to the indexs composite measurement. It is also known as the Dry Bulk Index. Much of the decline of the Baltic Dry Shipping Index is being blamed on China. The following comes from a Bloomberg report that was posted on Thursday The cost of shipping commodities fell to a record, amid signs that Chinese demand growthfor iron ore and coal is slowing, hurting the industrys biggest source of cargoes. The Baltic Dry Index, a measure of shipping rates for everything from coal to ore to grains, fell to 504 points on Thursday, the lowest data from the London-based Baltic Exchange going back to 1985. Among the causes of shipowners pain is slowing economic growth in China, which is translating into weakening demand for imported iron ore thats used to make the steel. So many of the exact same patterns that we witnessed back in 2008 are playing out once again in front of our very eyes. Below, I have shared a chart that was posted by Zero Hedge, and it shows how the Baltic Dry Shipping Index absolutely collapsed in 2008 as we headed into a major financial crisis. Well, now the Index is collapsing again, and it is already lower than it was at any point back in 2008 The evidence continues to mount that we are steamrolling toward a deflationary economic slowdown that is worldwide in scope. Just look at the price of U.S. oil. It just keeps on falling, and as I write this article it is sitting at $40.40. The price of oil collapsed just before the financial crisis of 2008, and the same pattern is happening again. And look at what is happening to commodities. The Thomson Reuters/CoreCommodity CRB Commodity Index has plummeted to the lowest level that we have seen since the last recession. It is now down more than 30 percent over the past 12 months, and it continues to fall. So dont be fooled by the temporary stock market recovery that we have witnessed. The underlying economic fundamentals continue to decline. We are entering a global deflationary recession, and the stock market will get the memo at some point just like we saw in 2008. At this moment, global financial markets are teetering on the brink, and all it is going to take is some kind of major trigger event to send them tumbling over the edge. And such an event may be coming sooner than you may think. We live at a time when global terrorism is surging, relationships between nations are deteriorating and our planet is shaking in wild and unpredictable ways. It wouldnt take much to push the financial world into full-blown panic mode. A major regional war in the Middle East, a terror attack that kills thousands, or an earthquake or volcanic eruption that affects a large U.S. city are all potential examples of black swan events which could fit the bill. The global financial system has never been more primed for another 2008-style crisis. Thanks to the fragility of the system, it could literally happen any day now. So keep your eyes open within weeks our world could be completely and totally different.

2	Obama Notified Of Threats On These Cities During The Holidays According to recent reports, federal and local security officials are tightening security in high-profile locations in time for New Years Eve celebrations around the world. The locations in question include New Yorks Time Square and the Rose Bowl festivities that are set to take place in Los Angeles. In countries like Belgium and Turkey, police claim that they have already disrupted terrorist plots that would have targeted celebrations. President Barack Obama was briefed about the threats before he left for his vacation in Hawaii, warning him about possible attacks in major cities throughout the country. It should be noted that Obama is probably on a golf course somewhere on the Island, but we digress. Officials reportedly informed the president that the threat was based on a single source that neglected to mention specific locations. Of course, authorities are always concerned about soft targets like mass transit systems. The threat is not being taken lightly. More than 6,000 police officers are set to be around Time Square for the annual New Years Eve celebration, although they claim that there is not credible source of a threat at this time. Security is also being stepped up in Belgium, where arrests have already been made on suspicions of a plot to attack emblematic sites in Belgiums capital. Turkish police have also arrested two people with ISIS ties that were planning a bombing at the Turkeys capital. What do you think? Are you relieved that actions are being taken to protect Americans, even if Obama is still turning a blind eye? 
2	Gov. Bobby Jindal Changes Everything By Requiring All Food Stamp Recipients To Do THIS First Gov. Bobby Jindal just made a huge move towards eliminating welfare. Louisiana citizens have been getting food stamps with no background check or requirements. Jindal is now requiring that all citizens qualify for food stamps. This means they will have to work hard before receiving them. If they have a full time job and still cant provide for their family, they will qualify. Jindal is seeing a lot of opposition to this policy, but is holding firm. 62,000 state recipients are getting away with being lazy. This ends now. Do you think that everyone should work to feed themselves?

Wow, said Swanson, who rose from bed and turned on his computer at 9:05 to discover the correspondence from his mother buried among a large quantity of spam messages and automatically scheduled mailing list updates. Its not even like its an urgent email or anything. She just wanted to know what I want for my birthday. And when you think about it, this means she woke up, got ready for the day, and then sat down at her computer and wrote the email, which means she probably got up at least a half hour before sending this thing. Jeez, Mom. At press time, Swanson had reportedly responded to the email, only to be completely baffled when his mother replied with a follow-up question about his Memorial Day plans less than 15 seconds later. 
3	If You Cant Stop 3D Printed Guns - Print OneTony Cartalucci Guns dont kill people, people kill people. And the sort of people that kill range from the mentally unstable and/or the medicated, to political extremists, to criminals, and of course the biggest killer in human history, the government. Unfortunately, a shortage of weapons or the legal inaccessibility of weaponry never seems to be enough to stop such people from harming or killing others and levels of violence appear more linked to social and economic issues rather than access to weaponry. Take the United Kingdom and Japan for example, two nations with populations that are for all intents and purposes disarmed. Despite the UK having a population almost twice as small as Japans it still has more total murders per year then their Japanese counterparts. The problem is socioeconomic, and so too is the solution. Here, we can see that access to weapons has little correlation to violence. In fact, one could easily overlay a map of global poverty on top a map of global homicides and see the obvious correlation. And despite Americas love-affair with firearms, it is by far not the most violent nation on Earth not even close. Gun Control Made Irrelevant Compounding the futility of a government trying to pad every sharp corner in society to protect us from harm, is the advent of personal manufacturing. Personal manufacturing allows us to make as many and as varied sharp corners as our minds can conjure. For every law put into place to outlaw each of these proverbial sharp corners, 10 more will take their place. One of these sharp corners includes 3D printed and CNC milled guns. And although Molitch-Hou, throughout the article appears to make Cody Wilson look as if he is laboring under strained logic, his concluding thoughts quoted above are in fact precisely the solution to violence in American society (and everywhere else for that matter). We must identify the factors that cause violence in the first place and address them, not the implements one may or may not use while being violent. The sort of dystopian police state required to prevent people in their individual homes from designing and printing objects deemed unsafe by our current collective sensibilities is probably the nightmare scenario that has Cody Wilson trying to print guns and build a distributed defense network in the first place. The fact that people like Steve Israel have tried to build that police state (or rather, add onto an already increasingly invasive police state considering the NSAs recent abuses) only further fuel the warranted paranoia of people like Cody Wilson. Indeed, we must understand the root of violence and work at reducing that, not infringe on the rights of responsible and mature citizens by insisting every sharp corner in society be padded, restricted, or otherwise outlawed. Collective Maturity and Responsibility Molitch-Hou is right we are a collective species and we must collectively take responsibility for this awesome power being thrust into our hands by technology not whimper and withdraw, seeking a police state to step in and make us safe. We must become the keepers of ourselves and our own communities. And while some might say big-government is necessary to make these changes, others might say, waiting for big-government to address issues like improving healthcare and decreasing socioeconomic disparity is precisely why the problem has gotten so bad in the first place. Indeed, the immense corporate-financier monopolies that thrive on Wall Street, dictate to a large degree the policy created in Washington, then enforced around the country (and the world when foreign interventions are concerned). Walmart has nothing to gain by decentralizing manufacturing and retail locally, which would also decentralize and redistribute profits, reduce poverty, and improve the prospects of millions across the country. Therefore, national policy will always reflect a desire to keep massive profits concentrated in the hands of a few shareholders, while the rest of the country wallows in poverty and destitution and of course, suffer the violence associated with both. Chevron, Exxon, and others hold monopolies over energy production. Energy production for electricity and transportation could and should be decentralized as well. The billions upon billions raked in by these energy monopolies would likewise be redistributed as people produced energy and jobs locally. Telecom, healthcare, food production, and just about every other industry that constitutes modern society likewise, follows a similar pattern. A similar patter of decentralization/localization would in turn, decentralize and redistribute wealth alleviating the socioeconomic factors creating poverty and the violence that subsequently results from it. At the end of the day, we will not stop people from 3D printing guns, or in fact, from creating anything with increasingly effective and efficient forms of personal manufacturing that might be deemed dangerous. Instead, all we can do is work to build a better, more equitable society where individuals are mature and responsible enough to handle this power, and people incapable of handling such power can get the help they need to prevent hurting themselves or others. If you cant beat 3D printed guns, you might as well be a responsible, mature adult who prints one yourself. Set an example, set a precedent. But if nothing else, work on building a society, a culture, a people, who would rather print such items as a curiosity, for sport, or as a hobby, than wanting to turn them on one another because of socioeconomic disparity, ignorance, ill-health, or irresponsibility.

3	Obama, Malala and the Militants America Put into PowerUlson Gunnar Malala Yousafzai was thrust into headlines when she was attacked and nearly killed in 2012 by Taliban militants in an attempt to stop her advocacy of greater access to education for children, and young girls in particular. But even as US President Barack Obama offered his empty words of congratulations to the young activist, the United States military and its intelligence agencies were busy along the Afghan-Pakistani border killing suspected militants alongside scores of innocent civilians, men, women and children just like Malala Yousafzai herself. In headlines the very same day as President Obamas meeting with Malala Yousafzai it would be reported that 2 more would be killed in a suspected US drone attack. Killing Civilians in a War Against Militants of Americas Own Creation Admitted by prominent Washington think tank Brookings Institution, it is estimated that for every militant killed, 10 or so civilians also die in US drone attacks. This is amid a conflict with militants that had once fought Washingtons proxy war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the 1980s, a proxy war that saw socioeconomic progress made under Soviet patronage rolled back, including access to education for young girls and women. Such progress was rolled back and replaced by the oppressive, medieval ideology of the fighters the US eventually propelled to victory and power. So while the US continues the mass murder of Afghan and Pakistani civilians allegedly fighting the very militants it helped thrust into power in the 1980s, the US is congratulating Malala Yousafzai for nearly being killed amid danger the Wests own media networks knowingly and intentionally put her in to sell news stories. Indeed, Malala Yousafzai was set up, because even the story of how she started her career in activism is troublesome. The now 17-year-old young woman began writing as an even younger schoolgirl in Paksitans troubled Swat Valley, though not on her own, but as a part of a propaganda ploy by British news network, the BBC. Time Magazine would report in an article titled, Pakistani Heroine: How Malala Yousafzai Emerged from Anonymity, that, in late 2008, when Khan and his colleagues had discussed a novel way of covering the Talibans growing influence in Swat: Why not find a schoolgirl to blog anonymously about her life there? Their correspondent in Peshawar, Abdul Hai Kakar, had been in touch with a local schoolteacher, Ziauddin Yousafzai, but couldnt find any students willing to do it. It was too dangerous, their families said. Finally, Yousafzai suggested his own daughter, 11-year-old Malala. Instead of professional journalists simply reporting the facts, the BBC decided to find the most manipulative and emotional means imaginable to sell Western talking points to Pakistani audiences using a little girl as bait. It is unlikely Malala wrote on her own, and was instead coached by her exploitative, manipulative handlers. These handlers at the BBC were ultimately those responsible for her being attacked and nearly killed several years later, and have used her both to advance their own individual careers as well as the BBCs reach into Pakistani domestic and expatriate audiences. Malala Yousafzai is indeed brave, and indeed a remarkable, capable young woman. Unfortunately she has become the centerpiece in a campaign of manipulating Pakistan and neighboring Afghanistans ongoing crisis, as well as manipulating global perception of this regional conflict. The very people who set her up, nearly got her killed and are now exploiting her widespread fame upon receiving the Nobel Peace Prize represent the conspirators who have created and are intentionally perpetuating violence on both sides of the Afghan-Pakistani border. These same people are wantonly killing Malala Yousafzais fellow Pakistanis, innocent men, women, and children. It is unlikely that Malala Yousafzai would have gained the prominence she has achieved today if her crusade was instead exposing the injustice and mass murder of Americas drone campaign against her fellow Pakistanis. It is unlikely she would be holding the Nobel Peace Prize or sitting down with the President of the United States if she had challenged the BBC and other Western media networks in their biased, skewed, and inadequate coverage of American drone strikes on her country. Indeed, just as the conflict itself is a manifestation of the Wests greed, meddling, depravity and all else that infects the minds of hegemons, the exploitation of Malala Yousafzai is not something to celebrate or congratulate, but rather mourn. Real progress and real issues will fade into the shadows along with the injustice being brought upon Pakistan by years of drones strafing and murdering its civilians, as the West manipulatively makes Malala Yousafzais story, rather than the story of hundreds if not thousands of mass murdered civilians, the center of the Pakistans narrative. For Malala Yousafzai herself, this talented and brave young woman will never reach her full potential, strung along by a system built on aggrandizing and flattery, awards and presidential visits, attempting to ensnare her into the very system that created and perpetuates to this day the deadly, regressive ideology that nearly ended her life in 2012.

2	After Nice Attack, Texas Bans Sharia Law... Democrats And Muslims OUTRAGED According to reports, many Muslim residents in Irving are outraged after the city council passed a resolution in support of a new state house bill that some are insisting targets Islam. On Thursday night, council members reportedly voted on a resolution that supports Texas HB 562, forbidding the use of foreign law and codifies the supremacy of U.S. and state law. I think its the most disgraceful day in the city of Irving, Omar Suleiman, a Muslim resident in Irving told reporters. The elephant in the room is that its the anti-Sharia bill. Suleiman is not alone in his sentiment. Several Muslims in the city believe the resolution is a strong reaction to a new Islamic Tribunal opening in Irving. Judges had previously told community members their work is non-binding, and that they only had authority to deal with civil disputes like marriage. They also commented that U.S. and state laws supersede any decisions they make. This bill does not mention at all Muslims, Sharia Law, Islam, even religion, Mayor Beth Van Duyne responded, commenting that it is important to recognize the constitution and united behind U.S. and Texas laws. Respect them, obey them, embrace them. What do you think of the councils decision? Is it completely within their rights to protect the Constitution before all else?

According to recent reports, one military chaplain who was punished for quoting the Bible during a suicide-prevention seminar is speaking out. Joe Lawhorn lead a training session on depression and suicide at the University of North Georgia. In a brave act of vulnerability, Joe shared his testimony on how God helped him to get out of a cycle of depression by focusing his faith on Jesus. To help illustrate his story, he used the example of King David in the Old Testament. 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. Instead of being applauded for sharing such a powerful message, Joe was criticized for expressing his faith in God. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you support Joe?

The other day, Ellen DeGeneres received a call while live on the air, and she answered. The call was from Army National Guard Officer Chris Banford. He explained to Ellen that sadly he had missed his 10th wedding anniversary with his wife, Mary. He explained that it was the first of the 10 that he had not been present for, and he was feeling pretty torn up about it. Suddenly, a spotlight shined down on his wife in the audience. Needless to say, Mary was shocked by the epic moment on live television. With the spotlight on Mary, Chris asks Ellen for a favor, and she agrees. Everyone in the audience, by now, is on the edge of their seat. Ellen then brings Mary up on stage, and gets her story. She and her two young boys, live with their father and her husband Chris in Oklahoma. Her husband is stationed about 6 hours away from their home, currently undergoing military training. After a few minutes, Ellen extracts the information that Mary has no way of reaching her husband and visiting him, because the family car is so terribly beat up. So, what does Ellen do, but surprise Mary with a brand new car! But shes only getting started with her surprise for the couple 
2	Obama Finally CAVES On Topic Of Radical Islamic Terrorism During his end of the year press conference, Obama decided to use the acronym ISIS. For years, he refused to use the term and opted for ISIL instead. He started off by saying, Clearly this is not the most important event thats taking place in the White House today, talking about the premier of Star Wars. He then led into all of the achievements he has made, including same-sex marriage and climate change. Then he said, Were gonna defeat ISIS. Before, the term ISIL was used, which means the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, not referencing Syria. Short on time, Obama then said, OK, everybody, Ive got to get to Star Wars. Finally Obama actually acknowledges our enemy. Do you think he should take further military action? 
2	Russias Foreign Minister Takes Gloves Off, Holds Nothing Back In Brutal Attack On Obama Once again, President Barack Obama demonstrated a complete lack of judgment by sanctioning Russia because he could not accept that Hillary Clinton lost the Presidential election. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova criticized Obama with a statement about his misrepresentation of the American people. Today America, the American people, were humiliated by their own president, Zakharova commented. Not by international terrorists, not by [the] enemys troops. This time Washington was slapped by its own master, who has complicated the urgent tasks for the incoming team in the extreme, she commented, adding that Obamas administration is a group of foreign policy losers, bitter and narrow-minded. Today, Obama finally admitted it. Mr. Kerry, in this difficult moment for the United States, let me convey you the words of sympathyyou have done all that was possible to avert your countrys collapse in foreign policy, she added. Out of this group of spoilers, I pity only Kerry. He was not an ally. But he tried to be professional and maintain his human dignity. Zakharova didnt stop there, she left it with this: This is it, the curtain has dropped. The bad performance is over. The whole world, from the front row to the balcony, is watching a devastating blow to Americas prestige and its leadership, dealt by Barack Obama and his semi-literate foreign policy team, which has exposed its main secret to the worldexceptionalism was masked helplessness. No enemy of the United States could have done worse. 
2	Joey Is Gone, But This Newly Released Video Reveals Why God Gave Joey Life And Why He Took It Away Joey and Rory got their start on the CMT show Can You Duet. On that show the couple recorded a beautiful song, When Im Gone. The song was terribly foreshadowing, but this behind the scenes footage shows us why Joey was put on earth. Joey has always had strong faith in God. She has always prayed and lived by her faith. Joey has said that her main goal in life was to inspire people, and to hopefully change a single persons life. We can agree that Joey has done more than change one persons life. She has changed thousands, and maybe millions of peoples lives. The song is written about a wife telling her husband that everything will be ok when she is gone.Wow. If only Rory of then knew what Rory of now would be dealing with. Maybe this song prepared Rory for what was coming. The song is extremely emotional and sad, but Joey points out an extremely happy part of the video. She says that, At the end there is a ray of hope. I think thats a really neat observation. There are sad songs, but on this song in particular theres a turn in the end where theres a sense of hop that everythings gonna be okay. What beautiful thought by a beautiful soul. I hop Rory saw this and smiled, because even in death Joey is making us happy. God must have needed a person with so much joy in heaven. Maybe He took Joey to show everyone that everything is ok if you have a loving family. Do you love the Feeks? 
2	BlackLivesMatter Thug Meets NoIn a Hamilton County courtroom recently, a man admitted to murdering someone. Of courses, his admission of guilt led to an official sentencing for his crimesbut its clear the thug did not think he would have to suffer the consequences of his actions. After he pleaded guilty, he begged to drop the plea. That did not work with the no-nonsense judge. Family members of the victim asked for a life sentence. As a result of those testimonies and the trial, the judge sentenced the suspect to life in prison without the possibility of parole. As soon as he received his sentence, the thug collapsed to the floor in tears and continued throwing a tantrum until the judge stepped in. The family of the victim later told the media and reporters that the harsh sentence was their first step toward healing. Watch the interaction below and tell us what you think. Did this thug get exactly what he deserves?

3	The Police State Moves Into CyberspaceStephen Lendman, Contributor The Senate will pass or defeat what he wants. More than likely, itll make cosmetic changes agreed to by House/Senate negotiators. Either that or theyll draft a new bill, under a new name, little different from CISPA to matter. Last year, Obama promised to veto the draconian FY 2012 National Defense Authorization Act. It authorizes detaining US citizens indefinitely without charge or trial based solely on suspicions, baseless allegations or none at all.US military personnel are now authorized to arrest and indefinitely detain anyone globally, including US citizens.Due process, civil protections, and judicial fairness are null and void. Presidents may order anyone arrested and imprisoned for life without charge or trial. Abuse of power has replaced rule of law protections. After refusing support, Obama signed it into law. Doing so enacted tyranny. Cybersecurity harshness hardens it. If Congress sends him a bill, hell sign it. Hes gone along with everything he pledged opposition to as a candidate. CISPA is more about destroying personal freedom than online security. Post-9/11, it eroded steadily en route to destroying it altogether. CISPA is another nail in its coffin. Its burial plot awaits. Dear Lawmakers, We are writing you today as professionals, academics, and policy experts who have researched, analyzed, and defended against security threats to the Internet and its infrastructure. We have devoted our careers to building security technologies, and to protecting networks, computers, and critical infrastructure against attacks of many stripes. We take security very seriously, but we fervently believe that strong computer and network security does not require Internet users to sacrifice their privacy and civil liberties. The bills currently under consideration, including Rep. Rogers Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011 (H.R. 3523) and Sen. McCains SECURE IT Act (S. 2151), are drafted to allow entities who participate in relaying or receiving Internet traffic to freely monitor and redistribute those network communications. The bills nullify current legal protections against wiretapping and similar civil liberties violations for that kind of broad data sharing. By encouraging the transfer of users private communications to US Federal agencies, and lacking good public accountability or transparency, these cybersecurity bills unnecessarily trade our civil liberties for the promise of improved network security. As experts in the field, we reject this false trade-off and urge you to oppose any cybersecurity initiative that does not explicitly include appropriate methods to ensure the protection of users civil liberties. In summary, we urge you to reject legislation that: Uses vague language to describe network security attacks, threat indicators, and countermeasures, allowing for the possibility that innocuous online activities could be construed as cybersecurity threats. Exempts cybersecurity activities from existing laws that protect individuals privacy and devices, such as the Wiretap Act, the Stored Communications Act, and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Gives sweeping immunity from liability to companies even if they violate individuals privacy, and without evidence of wrongdoing. Allows data originally collected through cybersecurity programs to be used to prosecute unrelated crimes. We appreciate your interest in making our networks more secure, but passing legislation that suffers from the problems above would be a grave mistake for privacy and civil liberties, and will not be a step forward in making us safer. Last minute amendments put lipstick on a pig. Bill sponsor Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) packaged five. (1) Minimization Retention and Notification Amendment It does little to minimize retaining sensitive information. Nothing with teeth prevents authorities from accessing whatever they wish for whatever alleged reasons. Privacy and civil liberty protections arent considered. (2) Definitions Amendment The amendment excludes intelligence pertaining to gaining unauthorized access that solely involves violations of consumer terms of service or consumer licensing agreements and do not otherwise constitute unauthorized access. However, vague definitions remain. Authorities can use them to access whatever information they wish. (3) Liability Amendment Its one of the bills biggest problems. It creates expansive legal immunity. It leaves government and corporations largely unaccountable. It provides good faith immunity. It means government and business cant be held liable for acting in good faith. Wholl prove otherwise if they say so, no matter whos harmed or how badly? (4) Limitation Amendment It leaves civil liberty concerns unaddressed. Its language changed nothing. (5) Use Amendment It deals with usage of data collected. CISPAs original language let business share it for cybersecurity purposes. Government can use it for national security reasons. New language modestly narrows usage but not enough. It still allows data sharing for cybersecurity purposes, to investigate alleged online crimes, to supposedly protect users from death or harm, to prevent minors from accessing pornography, be sexually exploited online, or otherwise threatened, and for national security. The latters a catch-all excuse to authorize unlimited spying. Parents, not government, should handle their childrens online usage. Alleged online crimes arent defined, and no one ever died or experienced bodily harm through cyberspace. Free Press.nets Action Fund Policy Director Matt Wood called CISPA a dangerous piece of legislation and its worrisome that the House has passed such an overreaching bill. The bill still lacks effective oversight and accountability for companies and government agencies collecting massive amounts of our personal data. It would curtail Internet openness and freedom by stripping away crucial privacy protections, and without providing any guarantee of protection for critical infrastructure. If the Senate chooses to move forward with cybersecurity legislation, we urge senators to make the changes necessary to protect civil liberties and Internet freedom. CISPAs little changed from its original form. It lets government and companies bypass existing laws, access whatever they wish, filter content, and potentially shut down online access for cybersecurity or national security reasons. Enactment assures abuse. Telecommunication companies could monitor personal/privileged content. Vague language permits virtually anything. Privacy and First Amendment rights will be further eroded en route to destroying them altogether. Freedoms now taken for granted will disappear. Any site, blog, or personal content could be called a cyber threat. The current Senate version differs little from the House bill. It states: (C)ybersecurity threat means any action that may result in unauthorized access to, exfiltration of, manipulation of, or impairment to the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of an information system or information that is stored on, processed by, or transiting an information system. A cybersecurity threat indicator is defined in hugely disjunctive vague scenarios. They include, for example, a method of defeating a technical (or operational) control. Merely using a proxy or anonymization service to access sites could be called a cybersecurity threat indicator. So could using cryptography to protect personal communications or be able to access systems securely. Nearly anything could be called a threat. Everyone is vulnerable for any reason. Government and business may monitor online traffic and communications without Wiretap Act or other legal restrictions. Vague definitions immunize government and business abusers. Whatever ways House and Senate bills reconcile differences, existing ones are so minor, a final version for Obama to sign will change little from what already passed. Online users will lose out. So will everyone. Police state harshness will be hardened. Americas already hugely repressive. Police State America Post-9/11 draconian legislation, executive orders, National and Homeland Security Presidential Directives, and other measures eroded personal freedoms gravely. Little more remains to eliminating them altogether. Unprecedented presidential authority alone was freed from constitutional restraints. National emergencies and martial law can be declared without congressional approval. Military commissions legislation scrapped habeas protections. FY 2007 NDAA annulled the 1807 Insurrection Act and 1878 Posse Comitatus Act. They prohibited federal or National Guard troops for law enforcement unless expressly authorized by Congress in times of a national emergency like an insurrection. Continuity of Government (COG) authority effectively gives presidents and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials police state powers to rule extrajudicially without congressional authority. They need only declare a national emergency, whether or not justified. Whistleblowers are an endangered species. So are First Amendment and other fundamental rights. The USA Patriot Act enacted sweeping new powers. Bill of Rights Amendments were eroded or ended. First Amendment free expression and association rights were targeted. Belonging to an undesirable group was criminalized. Fourth Amendment protections from unreasonable searches and seizures eroded. Personal privacy rights were lost. First, Fourth and Sixth Amendment rights were violated. Dissent was targeted. Illegal searches and seizures were authorized. The right to counsel and due process were compromised. Unchecked government surveillance powers to access personal records (including online), monitor financial transactions, student, medical and other information were authorized. Sneak and peak searches permit delayed notice warrants, roving wiretaps, email tracking, and Internet and cell phone monitoring. Domestic spying became easier than ever. For the first time, the crime of domestic terrorism was enacted. As a result, anti-war activists, global justice demonstrators, environmental and animal rights adherents, civil disobedience, and dissent of any kind may be included under its umbrella definition. Under the Patriot Acts Section 806, with no hearing or notice, Washington may confiscate or freeze all foreign and domestic assets of any individual, entity, or organization accused of engaging in, planning, supporting, concealing, or perpetrating any act called domestic or international terrorism against America. Nonviolent protesters are included. Other provisions are just as harsh. Using vague language, authorities have wide latitude to twist the law perversely. Anyone can be targeted for any reason. Anything can be called terrorism, whether or not true. Democracy was largely ripped up by the roots and destroyed. Constitutional protections were trashed. Centralized power was enhanced. Personal freedoms eroded or ended. In March 2006, Congress renewed most Patriot Act powers. In May 2011, three key provisions were extended for another four years. Little debate assured swift passage. As a result: (1) Unlimited roving wiretaps continue unchecked. (2) Section 215 pertains to alleged suspects. It authorizes government access to any tangible item. They included financial records and transactions, student and medical records, phone conversations, emails, other Internet use, and whatever else Washington claims essential. (3) Alleged suspect organizations and individuals can be surveilled, whether or not evidence links them to terrorism or complicity to commit it. In other words, police state powers to monitor anyone for any reason or none at all remain unchecked. CISPA and whatever else becomes law further enhances unchecked police state powers. Democracy no longer exists. How can it if constitutional, statute and international law protections no longer apply.

3	The Feigned and Future Demise of Big-OilBy Tony Cartalucci The monopoly it enjoys grants it the unwarranted power and influence it has wielded throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. And because big-oil is integrated into big-finance and other corporate-financier monopolies through various mutual interests, its influence reaches even further still. The ability to manipulate prices in the markets, starve or bolster any particular nation by targeting energy essential for modern civilization constitutes a weaponization of energy. However, despite this immense power, there are some who claim big-oils days are numbered. On one hand they are wrong, on the other, they are absolutely right. In the lead-up to the US-engineered Arab Spring and a number of other engineered political subversions executed around the globe with varying degrees of success, oil prices had been skyrocketing. Articles like the BBCs March 2011, Oil price: Should we fear the latest rises?, claimed that: With populations and incomes steadily increasing in Asia, there seemed to be an inexorable rise in global energy demand. And with a finite limit to the amount of hydrocarbons in the ground, peak oil the point where global oil production reaches its highest practicable rate became the buzzword. When prices were rising in 2008 and then again before and during the so-called Arab Spring, the world was expected to believe growing populations and increasing demand versus peak oil meant high prices would endure indefinitely. Yet today, prices are again at extraordinary extremes dropping rather than skyrocketing. Did the population suddenly shrink? Did the population continue to grow but suddenly stop using energy? Despite the BBC and other Western media narratives, oil prices are not necessarily driven by supply and demand alone. Often they are manipulated on a global scale because, since the advent of petroleum driven economies, a handful of powerful monopolies have controlled both the production and distribution of oil, as well as its price in the markets. Just as peak oil was used as a canard to explain manipulated prices at extreme highs last decade and early this decade, the collapse of big-oil is being used as a canard to explain the manipulation of low oil prices today. In reality, Western-controlled big-oil corporations are attempting to kill off smaller competitors and geopolitical rivals including Russia and Venezuela. It can be likened to chemotherapy where the entire body is poisoned in hopes that the body is strong enough to survive, while the smaller tumor within perishes. Likewise, big-oil hopes by dropping oil prices through the floor, despite the devastating effects it will have on its own health, it will survive even if just barely, while its rivals perish. But just because todays feigned demise of big-oil is a canard to explain this otherwise cynical politically-motivated hegemonic manipulation of global oil markets, doesnt mean that big-oils future is secure. On the contrary, it is anything but. Corporate-financier funded policy think-tank, Chatham House, published a pessimistic report regarding big-oil titled, International Oil Companies: The Death of the Old Business Model. Ironically, Chatham House counts among its corporate sponsors (.pdf) the very international oil companies it describes in its 47-page paper (.pdf). The paper states that: The future of the major international oil companies (IOCs) BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell and Total is in doubt. The business model that sustained them during the 20th century is no longer fit for purpose. As a result, they are faced with the choice of managing a gentle decline by downsizing or risking a rapid collapse by trying to carry on business as usual. The paper even admits that many of the excuses for lower oil prices today are superficial and that big-oils demise is a matter of much deeper, systemic obsolescence. Also evident is the fact that Western big-oil faces a rise in competitors backed by State power in South America, Eastern Europe, and Asia. And while it still is not a significant factor yet today, it inevitably will be one in the future solar power and other alternative and more importantly decentralized methods of producing energy for industry, homes, and transportation. These will permanently displace both big-oil and the monolithic, centralized model of business it represents. While the Chatham House paper prescribes several options for big-oil to exercise to make a transition from its current global stature to a downsized and diminished player in global energy, it admits that big-oil will decline nonetheless. For instance, the report cites BPs attempts to diversify into alternative energy, including solar energy. Unfortunately for BP, the entry barriers into the solar energy industry are extraordinarily low and becoming lower each quarter, meaning the prospect of dominating it like BP has dominated the capital-intensive petroleum industry for decades are slim to none. Singularity University, a California-based think-tank, noted recently that solar power has begun to thrive even in parts of the world where it is not subsidized. Prices for solar power production are decreasing exponentially because of rapid advances in technology a trend that has not happened in the energy industry before. Singularity Universitys Ramez Naam in his August 2015 piece titled, How Cheap Can Solar Get? Very Cheap Indeed, points out the precise details of this trend concluding: If this holds, solar will cost less than half what new coal or natural gas electricity cost, even without factoring in the cost of air pollution and carbon pollution emitted by fossil fuel power plants. Coupled together with exponential increases of electric vehicles taking to the roads, powered by expanding alternative energy networks, regardless of what oil prices do, alternative energy and electric vehicles will still be cheaper and more efficient as the technology for both matures and is disseminated. In a future where energy and transportation are linked more to coding and electronics any nations industry can become engaged in, rather than capital-intensive mega-engineering only a handful of corporations around the world are capable of doing, big-oil does not exist. That future may be far off for example, not even 1% of the cars on the road in the United States are electric, but the nature of exponentially disruptive technology is such that this future most likely will arrive much sooner than many expect. With Tesla Motors growing line of electric vehicles making ripples across Americas automotive industry and the growing network of charging stations it is putting up across not only North America, but also Europe and Asia, it is clear that there are serious players already shaping this future today. For the nations of the world, the international order the immense concentration of wealth and power big-oil and big-finance have given rise to, is no longer unassailable. Because of technologys advance, and the ability of increasingly smaller players being able to enter into industries previously monopolized by only the wealthiest and well-connected interests on Earth, developing nations and emerging superpowers are building alternatives to the Wests monopoly over global energy among other things. However, nations like Russia or Venezuela who depend heavily on oil and gas must understand the mountain they have made progress climbing up, is already beginning to crumble at the top. By the time they reach the top, there will be no top left to conquer. Instead, nations around the world must prepare to develop infrastructure around alternative energy and electric vehicles leveraging their natural and human resources to innovate and implement these solutions where eventually the collapse of big-oil will leave a void. By doing so, they will be placing further pressure on the remnants of Western big-oil, undermining the unwarranted influence the West has wielded, while driving local development and economic expansion at the same time. By getting ahead of the alternative energy and electric vehicle curve, these nations can fill up global socioeconomic space existing Western monopolies may try to occupy as they shift from big-oil to other alternatives. While it will not be easy to do this, the effort involved must be compared with the alternative of continuing to pursue and invest solely in oil and gas and contemplating how to survive, let alone thrive, when oil and gas prices finally bottom out permanently not because of market manipulation but because of genuine supply and a permanent lack of demand. Tony Cartalucci, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook. Light can illuminate darkness, but darkness can do nothing but destroy. Heaven is a state of mind. The Golden Rule; or Law of Karma. Do unto others as you wish that they should do unto you. The Golden Rule. This all manufactured (fracked) out of thin air there is no such thing a peak oil. Oil is not fossil fuel. 
1	At a press conference Monday, members of Congress lambasted the British House Of Commons for 'blatantly ripping off' Senate bill S.576. House Of Commons MP Stephen Byers denies that Parliament stole the idea for its Financial Regulatory Reform Act from the U.S. Senate. 'It is impossible to deny the similarities between Parliament's Regulation Of Depository Institutions Act and our own S.576, the Financial Regulatory Reform Bill,' said Sen. Phil Gramm (R-TX), sponsor of the U.S. bill. 'For example, Section 102 of our bill repeals the limitation on the authority of a bank to permit the owner of any deposit or account to make withdrawals by negotiable or transferable instruments for transfers to third parties. Lines 404-410 in the British bill are almost identical, right down to the words 'transferable instruments.' That's my phrase.' Added Gramm: 'Everyone on the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee worked really hard on that bill, and it makes me really mad that somebody would steal it and claim it as their own.' Gramm said he has tried to give Nigel Beard, the Labor Party MP who claims authorship of the U.K. bill, the benefit of the doubt, but it has been difficult. 'We have committee logs showing that we'd been working on the ideas central to this bill for months,' Gramm said. 'Then, when we finally go public with S.576 and put it on the floor for debate, this Nigel Beard guy just happens to have the exact same idea? Come on.' According to Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT), Parliament has stolen ideas for bills in the past, but U.S. legislators have never taken issue until now. This time, Dodd said, they spoke out because S.576 was 'special.' 'S.576 was originally written by the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee as a way to provide for improved monetary policy and regulatory reform in financial institution management and activities,' Dodd said. 'But as we worked on it, it grew into something much bigger and more meaningful: a way to streamline financial regulatory agency actions and provide for improved credit disclosure.' Sen. Phil Gramm. Thus far, members of the Commons' Finance And Services Committee are denying the charges. 'Whenever you have two bicameral legislative bodies, each producing hundreds of bills a year, there's bound to be some creative overlap,' MP Lewis Moonie said. 'And while we greatly respect what the U.S. Congress has done in the area of expediting procedures regarding mergers with subsidiaries or non-bank affiliates, we would never, ever steal from them. I swear to God, this is just a big coincidence.' 'Surely America's lawmakers would recognize that the concept of regulating financial institutions is as old as the hills,' Conservative MP David Heathcoat-Amory said. 'They were doing it in ancient Rome, so it's not exactly like the U.S. came up with the idea first. Although, knowing those arrogant Yanks, I'm sure they think they did.' Other Members of Parliament assert that if anyone is guilty of plagiarism, it is the U.S. 'In the late '60s, American legislators were constantly lifting political concepts wholesale from such Eastern nations as China and India,' said Colin Breed, Liberal Democrat MP for South East Cornwall. 'When they did it back then, it was an homage, but when we do it, it's stealing.' 'Americans are so closed-minded and self-impressed,' Breed added. 'They'll go on and on about how utterly amazing the Declaration Of Independence is, but point out that it's just a derivative rehashing of our Magna Carta, and they'll say, 'What's that?'' Despite such denial and defiance on the part of the British, the U.S. senators refuse to back down. 'We're not giving up,' said Gramm, who is demanding that the Commons table the bill indefinitely or face legal action. 'I still remember that day when we finally placed that bill on the Senate Legislative Calendar. [Sen.] Rick [Santorum (R-PA)], [Sen.] Jim [Bunning (R-KY)], and I had pulled an all-nighter to get it just right, and we were just so unbelievably excited to hand it in. I don't want those memories sullied by a bunch of Brits who are too lazy to make up their own laws.' 
3	Doctors Sound Alarm as State of Emergency Declared over CA Gas Leak: Leave NowBy Claire Bernish I will tell you, this goes well beyond Porter Ranch. Weve had complaints from as far as Chatsworth, Northridge, and Granada Hills, emphasized Los Angeles City Councilman Mitchell Englander during a Porter Ranch town hall meeting on December 28. Apparently this plume of toxic chemicals and whatever it might be, doesnt know zip codes [] This is the equivalent of the BP oil spill on land, in a populated community. Aliso Canyon sits less than two and a half miles from Porter Ranch and less than 30 miles from the city of Los Angeles the second most populous city in the United States whose outlying total statistical area includesnearly 18 million residents, as of 2013. Brown has been widely criticized for lack of decisive action on the leak, which is erupting from its underground storage area with all the force of a volcano. Under Wednesdays declaration, all state agencies will utilize state personnel, equipment, and facilities to ensure a continuous and thorough state response to this incident. Porter Ranch residents have been evacuating the area for some time, though SoCalGas rather maladroit handling of the relocation procedure has been a nightmare and the cause for a mounting number of lawsuits, including one from the L.A. city attorneys office. Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer filed a civil lawsuit last month concerning the massive methane leaksimpacton area residents health and damage to the environment which alleged failure by SoCalGas to prevent the leak and further exacerbation of the effects of that failure by allowing acute odor and health problems faced by the community to persist for more than a month, to say nothing about the indefinite time it will persist into the future. Pediatrician Dr. Richard Kang gave an ominous warning during the Porter Ranch meeting, saying,Unfortunately, the only real way to get away from the symptoms is you have to relocate you have to get away from the environment. Health complaints include severe headaches, nosebleeds, respiratory issues including increasing cases of asthma, and a number of other issues. SoCalGas, in the meantime, stated they were providing air filters for peoples homes, but though the odor added to the leaking gas can cause symptoms for some, the gas is not toxic and county health officials have said the leak does not pose a long-term health risk. But, as the Los Angeles Daily News reported on December 25, Los Angeles County health officials said prolonged exposure to trace chemicals, some of which are known carcinogens, can cause long-term health effects.Nevertheless, they also cautioned that levels examined so far here are not believed to be associated with long-term health problems. The gas company says, This is just the smell youre reacting to, its just temporary, its not a problem, its not serious these people arent stupid, said attorney Rex Paris. How could somebody possibly say that? We have children whose noses are bleeding every day, we have people who suffer from chronic headaches [and] are nauseous every, single day. How does that not become a serious issue? Why are they saying something nobody here believes? [] Theyre trying to convince everybody that its all in our heads. Its a trick. In fact, as Erin Brockovich pointed out, no one really knows the long-term side effects of benzene and radon, the carcinogens that are commonly found in natural gas. Additionally, area house pets seem particularly vulnerable possibly acting the part of unwitting canaries as veterinarian Dr. David Smith described in the town hall meeting. Noting he has seen dozens of sickened animals, Smith said, Ive seen dogs, cats, birds, pocket pets the primary symptoms Ive seen are gastrointestinal vomiting []These are not things you should be inhaling. He added, We have seen dermatological issues as well, some very unusual bacterial infections in dogs, including one case in which a dog had such an infection on its face, and the client developed almost the exact same kind of symptoms soon after that [] their physician thinks its related [to exposure from the gas leak] and so I tend to think these correlations are real. Though the declaration of emergency states the Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources shall continue its prohibition against Southern California Gas Company injecting any gas into the Aliso Canyon Storage Facility, it does not make that moratorium dependent on stoppage of the leak; rather, only until a comprehensive review, utilizing independent experts [] is completed. Physician Dr. Brooks Michaels, addressing the town hall meeting, gave the sternest advice to those still in the area surrounding the unprecedented leak: If you have a chance to leave, if youre able to leave if you have a chance to relocate, do it now. Im telling you, its really critical. Understandably, Browns state of emergency seems almost too little, too late for many.

A solar installation pays for itself in 5-7 yrs and then provides 20 years of free energy. Molten salt solar plants can now provide energy nearly 24/7. Batteries can store energy for night time use. During the day excess solar can be sold back to the utility company and then if necessary, energy can be bought back at night. As battery technology improves, solar will be able to provide energy for your home, business, and car 24 hrs a day. SolarCity CEO Lyndon Rive thinks todays rooftop solar energy systems will be out of date within five years. Not because the systems wont still be generating electricity. They will. And not because Rive thinks solar power will fall out of favor. He doesnt. Instead, Rive predicts that the rooftop solar systems of the future wont just generate electricity. They will come with sophisticated batteries that also will store it, allowing consumers to tap into the electricity their solar panels produced even when its dark outside. Within five years, around that time frame, every solar system we deploy will have a storage system tied to it, Rive said. I think thats going to be the big game changer. SolarCity took its first step in that direction this spring, when it began offering to pair its rooftop solar systems with batteries made by electric car maker Tesla Motors. Rives cousin, entrepreneur Elon Musk, is the CEO of Tesla and SolarCitys chairman and biggest shareholder. Tesla is building a $5 billion battery gigafactory in Nevada. cleantechna.com reports that solar parity is coming much faster than predicted: In 2015, six of the largest metropolitan areas are already at solar parity, representing over 30 million Americans. Thats one-third more people living with solar at parity with utility electricity prices than in our original analysis, when we calculated that 2015 would bring parity to just two metro areas This includes such eastern cities as New York City. In 2017, the five-year point in our original, the population at parity is likely to be 71 million instead of 51 million. By 2021, 109 million Americans will be at parity, instead of our original prediction of 95 million. Deutsche Bank reports: March 10, 2015 Deutsche Bank report: Solar grid parity in a low oil price era Despite the recent drop in oil price, we expect solar electricity to become competitive with retail electricity in an increasing number of markets globally due to declining solar panel costs as well as improving financing and customer acquisition costs. Unsubsidized rooftop solar electricity costs between $0.08-$0.13/kWh, 30-40% below retail price of electricity in many markets globally. Europe already has parity and large regions of the US, China, South America, the Middle East and Australia have already achieved parity. As solar prices decrease and the oil price war ends, the parity will be accelerated. Deutsche Bank explains why: Peak to trough, average monthly natural gas prices have decreased ~86% over the past 10 years. Yet, during this time period, average electricity prices have increased by ~20% in the US. The main driver for rising electricity bill is that TD investments which represent 50% of bill have continued to ramp and have accelerated recently. In 2010, TD capex levels of for US Utilities ~$27B were ~300% higher than 1981 levels. We expect electricity prices worldwide to double over the next 10-15 years making the case for solar grid parity even stronger.Solar System Costs Could Continue to Decline The economics of solar have improved significantly due to the reduction in solar panel costs, financing costs and balance of system costs. Overall solar system costs have declined at ~15% CAGR (compound annual growth rate) over the past 8 years and we expect another 40% cost reduction over the next 4-5 years What if the suns rays are diminished 20 to 30% due to geo- engineering such as chem trails that no one seems to add to the picture? If sun rays are diminished by chemtrails (for which there is no scientific evidence), it would lead to cooling, not heating. The fact is that the 3.5 million flights a year release contrails which form into cirrus clouds which warm the atmosphere, part of the warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions. If chemtrails (which do not exist) diminished the suns rays, how would that lead to warming? How stupid are you? Your chin is glued to your chest Einstein! Can you look up at any time out of your busy day to look up and observe these same aircraft day after day sometimes even flying next to each other continually spraying and zig zagging until the whole sky is milked out. These are not normal flight patterns of passenger planes by any stretch of your delusional imagination. Science is observation if your taking someone elses word on something so in your face undeniable you need to check your state of mental health and the so called professionals your listening to. Starting with an insult is standard for someone who has not rational response. I watch the skies every day and have for years. I have googled and studied the flight patterns as well. Have you. I live in the Santa Cruz mts where hundreds of flights each day cross over to land at the San Jose Airport. I also have closely observed in the Sedona, Az area where there are few people. This areas is where the S/N and W/E flights; you can see it clearly on the flight pattern maps. This is where there are frequent crisscrossing patterns, following the commercial flight paths. My observations are confirmed by the studies of actual atmospheric scientists who find no evidence of widespread spraying for geo-engineering. Looking up and claiming you see a chemtrail is not observation but interpretation. What you see are persistent contrails, which you can confirm in established flight pattern, frozen water vapor from jet emissions in the stratosphere above 30,000 ft where commercial flights cruise. Your ad hominem insults demonstrate you have no evidence and so must resort to gutter sniping. I urge you to study flight pattern maps and then correlate to the trails you observe in the skies. They will match exactly but if you are afraid to learn you have been deceived, you can continue your offensive personal insults and defend your unscientific claims. Its up to you. I love this illiterate and incoherent and fallacious sentence: Science is observation if your taking someone elses word on something so in your face undeniable you need to check your state of mental health and the so called professionals your listening to. I am taking someone elses word of course: the atmospheric scientists. And I have confirmed their claims by comparing commercial flight maps with my own observations. I urge you to do the same. So I guess your opinion is a collective idea based on a bunch of phonies who are bought and paid handsomely to come up with their handlers desired data outcome to keep people like you totally clueless. Your not fooling anyone! Steadcore, Dales observations are better than your observations because the government said so.LOL Hilarious! Entertaining though! Well said Steadcore, Dale is a government shill trying to discredit people and spread disillusion. Replace your word contrails to chemtrails and cirrus to chem and youll get the picture you idiot. I take such insults as a badge of honor since it demonstrates you have no rational response. Insults are the weapon of the impotent. You are shooting blanks, friend. I suggest you google commercial flight maps and compare to your own observations in the sky, as I have done for years. And I suggest you look up the logical fallacy of ad hominem. You make me laugh all the time! No, its not a good kind of thing. LOL, Dale says Insults are weapons of the impotent then he asked some above how stupid they are. I guess he takes the little blue pillLOL Notice how Dale keeps repeating how he has been doing this for years. This should impress all of us and we should throw our collective intelligence out the window. That fact that Dale has been refuting chemtrail claims across the internet for years should send off a bunch of red flags. He says its his hobby. How stupid are you? The intention by spreading these is to cool the planet. Contrails from 3.5 million commercial flights a year form cirrus clouds and warm the atmosphere. The last decade was the warmest in recorded history. 2001-2010 was the warmest decade on record, the WMO noted, and added that the last three decades had been warmer than the previous one. I repeat: how stupid are you? Ignorance is the beginning of wisdom, but stupidity is holding to false views even after the evidence has been presented. Contrails are purported by atmospheric scientists to be congtrails. This is not a difference of opinion among scientists but clinging to a myth in contradiction to atmospheric science. In my humble opinion, with all due respect, that is not a difference that can be explained by anything other than willful ignorance, which is the definition of stupidity. It is very very stupid for a person with not even one class in basic climate science to think he can refute the overwhelming research and consensus of working climate scientists. You can remedy this but if the shoe fits,, wear it. You are obviously some sort of disinformation agent, or either you are as dull as a sack of wet mice. That is true William, Dale has been refuting chemtrail truthers for years. I have had several conversations with him over the last few years. It appears to be his specialty within the Obama administration. I dont know many people who would take that much time out of their day to try and convince people they are nor seeing what they are seeing If they were not being paid to do so. I am an independent and have nothing to do with the government. My loyalty is to science. I am retired and my hobby is exposing the lies (his specialty within the Obama administration) of people like you who use personal accusations as a replacement for evidence. You are lying and even you know it. Obama doesnt need sock puppets since 97%of the worlds climate scientists confirm his efforts to reduce emissions. Yip 97% have been bought, 3% have integrity. Ahhh, your loyalty is to SCIENCE that explains everything. And Fake science at that. You give truther a bad name. i am a 9/11 truther, knowing that the Bush regime lied about the events of 9/11, as the 9/11 Commission has documented. What evidence do have that the worlds atmospheric scientists are a conspiracy to lie? I would suggest you have no evidence and as a substitute for scientific support, you make false accusations for to cover up your lack of integrity and factual information. Yip, the lies stopped with Bush and the 9/11 Commission. Government scientists would never dream of lying to cover the truth like Bush didlol. In one sentence you say government cant be believed and the next you tell me they can. Go away!!! No, William I am a very well informed individual with a world class education who (sadly) is not paid to expose the fallacies of folks like you. Dale is the best informed, he wins the internet. Our information is null and void.lol Dale is a friggin dipshit. William Burke is the friggin dipsh!t not daleWilliam has cooties na na na na na na Ha ha ha ha ha he he Oh for gods sake. What are you.. 12 yrs old? Go back to youtube! Typical shill response when backed into a corner INSULT Your laughter is fake; your sarcasm pathetic. It is that I am best informed but that I have the intelligence and humility to listen to the atmospheric scientists of the world who consider chemtrails as nothing but fake science. You have presented no evidence,just claims. And when you are asked for evidence, you respond with insults, covering up your lack of factual information. Keep patting yourself on the back, let me give you a Ata Boy because you deserve it. You are more persistent than even the most persistent contrail !!!! I have not insulted you at all. I called you a government hack a few time, if the shoe fits wear it. Everyone sees your MO Dale, Show me the evidence but when people do show you, you dismiss it and ask for more evidence. We could dump a mountain of evidence in your lap and you would ask for different evidence. As long as you are asking for evidence you make it appear that no one has refuted your claim. It has been refuted many times and now it time for you to accept the facts. You are now lying to deny your insults. Not only did you lie (I do not work for the government) but a hack is a negative term to describe a person who works without moral integrity. No one has shown me any evidence in 3 years, James. What they say, when I ask for evidence (ie peer-reviewed research) , as you do, is that I wouldnt accept any evidence if you showed it. That is a lame dodge. No one has refuted not MY claims but the claims of actual atmospheric scientists. Claiming it has been it is refuted is not refutation but a dodge. What I get is not evidence (telling me to watch a youtube video is not evidence; scientists do not present their work in videos but documented publications in peer-reviewed journals) and insults. If the shoe wears it is just another insult, in reference to being a government hack. Your lying insults demonstrate your inability to provide sources of evidence. Geoengineeringwatch is run by a former defense/fossil fuel engineering firm and has no atmosspheric scientists on its staff and is not peer-reviewed. When I point this out, I usually get the scientifically illiterate propaganda claim that peer-reviewed is meaningless or bought an paid for. I dismiss your insults as evidence of your failure to find reliable evidence and your lies as a form of moral corruption in an effort to mask your inability. Only a person without any scientific education accepts your concept of evidence (ie opinion by non atmospheric scientists) as credible. AT least own your lies and insults if you have any integrity left at all. YOu cannot find one actual atmospheric scientists whose research backs your claims. If you can, present his evidence with source. Put up or shut up. wow, that was a lengthy reply that says nothing that you havent already said. Sorry dude, it looks like 100% of the people here feels the same way, you are a hack. Not just me..EVERYONE!!! 4% of voters say they believe lizard people control our societies by gaining political power 5% believe exhaust seen in the sky behind airplanes is actually chemicals sprayed by the government for sinister reasons public policy polling.com EVERYONE!!! is the 5% who believe in chemtrails, about the same group that believes in lizard people, one of whom has posted above with no criticism. The truth is worth repeating: there is no scientific evidence for chemtrails and many reasons to think the myth is promoted by the fossil fuel industry, which is actually killing millions each year with its dirty energy, costing the public 6 trillion a year in subsidies according to the IMF. You belong to the small group of scientific illiterates who lack the critical thinking skills to see through the industry propaganda you have have swallowed like Kool Aid at a Jim Jones suicide assembly. 100% of brainwashed people does not equal the knowledge of one actual atmospheric scientist. I have a proposed a way for you to do your own research: why do you refuse to find out the truth for yourself? I am tired of your ignorant stubborness. You can believe the propaganda or the scienceyou can conduct your own research by matching trials to published flight paths, as I have. Or you can keep your head in the sand with the 5% who also have theirs in the sand, refusing to do a simple research project independent of any outside influence. Get back to me after you have conducted the research I propose. Otherwise please leave do not waste my time with more hot air. Liar How is asking questions lying? Where is the evidence? You are substituting libel for reason, both criminal and fallacious. Where is your evidence for chemtrails and that I am lying? Go look for your OWN evidence shill I am not here to spoon feed you You want evidence, you want pictures.. well, I posted some links for you, Dale. Read em and weep. Then pay up. I give you the evidence youve been begging for and what happens? You clam up. Not a word from you since. Go figure. I looked at the research. Here is what the author found: (1) Comparison of 8 elements analyzed in rainwater, leached from aerosolized particulates, with corresponding elements leached into water from coal fly ash in published laboratory experiments, and (2) Comparison of 14 elements analyzed in dust collected outdoors on a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter Fly ash is one of the residues generated by coal combustion, and is composed of the fine particles that are driven out of the boiler with the flue gases. It is a well-known pollutant which finds its way into the atmosphere, water, and ground. The research in no way shows that this fly ash comes from spraying by tankers but merely that it can be found in dust and water, which requires no more explanation than that it has settled from coal combustion pollution. This article was retracted in 2015: Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health 2015, 12(9), 10941-10942; doi:10.3390/ijerph120910941 Retraction Retraction: Herndon J.M. Evidence of Coal-Fly-Ash Toxic Chemical Geoengineering in the Troposphere: Consequences for Public Health.Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health 2015, 12, 93759390 Excerpt: It was brought to my attention that there are problems related to the recently published article Evidence of Coal-Fly-Ash Toxic Chemical Geoengineering in the Troposphere: Consequences for Public Health [1]. [] The evidence is of coal fly ash in trophsphere, which is a result of ordinary coal combustion pollution. The research does now show evidence this pollution is from spraying by tankers. In addition, this article has been retracted due to problems. No one doubts there is coal ash fly in the atmosphere as you can observe it being released from coal plants. This pollution source totally explains its presence in the atmosphere, water, and dust. The now restracted study makes no factual claims about the source but speculates (which is not science) that it may come from spraying, but zero evidence for this is presented. That is why it was retracted. What it showed evidence has long been known. What it speculated was the cause is supported by zero evidence and is not necessary to explain the presence of coal fly ash in the environment. Coal ash fly is very toxic and kills. Every year, the nations coal plants produce 140 million tons of coal ash pollution, the toxic by-product that is left over after the coal is burned.Coal ash pollution contains high levels of toxic heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, selenium, and other cancer-causing agents. Coal ash is not subject to federal protections, and state laws governing coal combustion waste disposal are usually weak or nonexistent. Fly ash is the part that escapes into the atmosphere and pollutes the troposphere, water, and soil The toxins found in coal ash have been linked to organ disease, cancer, respiratory illness, neurological damage, and developmental problems. People living within one mile of unlined coal ash ponds can have a 1 in 50 risk of cancermore than 2,000 times higher than what the EPA considers acceptable. Coal ash contains arsenic, lead, mercury, and selenium, as well as aluminum, barium, boron, and chlorine. All can be toxic. Particularly where there is prolonged exposure, these toxins can cause cancer, heart damage, lung disease, respiratory distress, kidney disease, reproductive problems, gastrointestinal illness, birth defects, impaired bone growth in children, and behavioral problems. In short, coal ash toxics have the potential to injure all of the major organ systems in adults (including pregnant women) and children. Exposure to toxic coal ash can lower birth rates, cause tissue disease, slow development, and even kill plants and animals, leading to changes in wildlife concentrations and disruptions to entire ecosystems. The toxic pollution from coal ash builds up in exposed animals and plants, causing the pollution to make its way up the food chain when they are eaten. Children are more susceptible to the health impacts of coal ashand according to the EPA, 1.54 million children live near coal ash storage sites. Not only is coal ash toxic, it is also likely to grow increasingly dangerous. Air pollution control technologies, like scrubbers, selective catalytic reduction, and activated carbon injection, capture mercury and other hazardous air pollutants and are able to stop increasing amounts of toxic pollution from going up the smokestacks. However, when those pollutants are captured they are shifted from the air to the coal ash. Mercury and other pollutants that previously contributed to air pollution are now becoming solid wastesand when they leach into water, their toxicity is carried into the water as well. Unfortunately, one toxic environmental problem is being traded for another. The poisons that are not captured and stored in piles are released into the atmosphere. sourcewatch.org reports: Coal-fired power plants that sell electricity to the grid produce more hazardous air pollution in the U.S. than any other industrial pollution sources. According to the report details, over 386,000 tons of air pollutants are emitted from over 400 plants in the U.S. per year. Interestingly, while most of the power plants are located in the Midwest and Southeast, the entire nation is threatened by their toxic emissions. An ALA graph shows that while pollutants such as acid gases stay in the local area, metals such as lead and arsenic travel beyond state lines, and fine particulate matter has a global impact. Particle pollution from power plants is estimated to kill approximately 13,000 people a year 3.7 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), an amount equivalent to chopping down 161 million trees. CO2 pollution is the principal human cause of global warming and climate change. 10,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2), which causes acid rain and forms small airborne particles that can cause lung damage, heart disease, and other illnesses. 10,200 tons of nitrogen oxide (NOx), equivalent to half a million late-model cars. NOx leads to formation of smog, which inflames lung tissue and increases susceptibility to respiratory illness. 500 tons of small airborne particles (particulate matter), which can cause bronchitis, reductions in lung function, increased hospital and emergency room admissions, and premature death.[14] 220 tons of hydrocarbons, which contribute to smog formation. 720 tons of carbon monoxide (CO), which causes headaches and places additional stress on people with heart disease. 170 pounds of mercury. 1/70th of a teaspoon of mercury deposited in a 25-acre lake can make the fish unsafe to eat. Mercury also causes learning disabilities, brain damage, and neurological disorders.[15] 225 pounds of arsenic, which leads to cancer in 1 out of 100 people who drink water containing 50 parts per billion. Those who release these toxic emissions are promoting the chemtrails myth to shift blame for the pollution from themselves (they shift the cost of health and environmental damage done to the public) and seek to demonize the one agency which can reduce these emissions,the government. 114 pounds of lead, 4 pounds of cadmium, and other toxic heavy metals. These toxic metals can accumulate in human and animal tissue and cause serious health problems, including mental retardation, developmental disorders, and damage to the nervous system.[16] Coal ash, the hazardous waste that remains after coal is burned, can also contain: chromium, which can cause stomach ulcers, anemia, and stomach and lung cancers; selenium, which in excess can cause impaired vision or paralysis; and boron, which can cause eye, nose, and throat irritation, or in large amounts damage to testes, intestines, liver, kidney, and brain. All effects can eventually lead to death. [17] Aging coal plants grandfathered in after passage of the Clean Air Act have been particularly linked to large quantities of harmful emissions. To learn how wealthy fossil fuel oligarchs are funding the anti-global warming and chemtrails campaigns, I urge you to read http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/inside-the-koch-brothers-toxic-empire- http://polluterwatch.com/koch-industries or any of dozens of other investigative articles which document both their contribution to coal pollution and their funding of anti-environmental lobbying and propaganda. Well said Cat and my point precisely, Or I am reporting on the findings of actual atmospheric science and you are either a paid sill or a dolt. I can look in the sky on any given day and simultaneously see some planes that leave persistent contrails, some that leave nothing and they both appear to be traveling at the same altitude. Given these facts your theory is blown out of the water. The overwhelming research and consensus of working climate is created by who? The answer..wait for itwait for it..GOVERNMENT scientists. You forgot to use government as the adjective in your sentence. We all know how truthful statistics and theories from our government can be because Obama never lies and you can keep your doctor by the way. No, you see contrails form only in freezing weather in the stratosphere where commercial flights cruise. A plane can go in and out of freezing temperatures and so contrails will form only when the plane goes thru freezing temps. The stratosphere has varying temperatures. I learned this from atmospheric scientists. Most climate scientists in 180 nations work for public and private universities, corporations, and 180 governments. Your paranoia has blinded you to reality. lol at 10,000 to 50,000 feet its all freezing, go away you government hack. Do you just copy and paste that everywhere you go ? Yes. These are the facts. Facts are based on evidence..You have no evidence. Evidence shows you to be a government hack, go away. I challenge you to provide the evidence for your accusation. LOL, yip everyone here is a pedophile because we disagree with you, go away already. You are done, no one believes you. I will call Obama and tell him you lost your audience and to cut off your paycheckslol!!! you shills dont want evidence so why do you keep demanding it? If we gave you MORE evidence you would only provide a fake link to a fake scientific paper that has no relevance to anything Factual Debbie, how do we know you are not a paid shill of the fossil fuel industry? The answer to where is the evidence and what is the source is evidence and source, not a lame excuse that I would refute it with a peer-reviewed research, which you, in your anti-science, anti-intellectual arrogance, call fake. Where is the evidence? Good evidence cannot refuted by fake science. is it possible you have only fake evidence and are hiding behind the claim that atmospheric science is a conspiracy to dupe people? Because I am fighting for truth dale, its not hard to work out mate, but you refuse to listen to fact, not much I can do about that fella Not only are the shills paid but so are their scientists w/data sheets!!! Chemtrails dont cool the planet. They act like a greenhouse gas and trap planetary surface heat, they actually cause global warming and they do so more than CO2 does. Contrails from 3.5 million flights a year spread out as cirrus clouds and help warm the atmosphere. No need for the assumption of chemtrails. Warming is caused by greenhouse gases and, to a slight degree, cirrus clouds which also trap heat. But contralis totally explains this phenomenon. Occams razor cuts away an unnecessary assumption. Contrails are crystalized water vapor that sublimate to a gas in seconds after being produced. The extremely low humidity causes contrails to sublimate so quickly. Chemtrails can not sublimate, they are heavy metals and spread across the sky to produce a haze. Stop spreading disinformation and go away. You theories have been disputed many times you government hack. Persistent contrails spread out and form cirrus clouds. I live under the flght path to the San Jose Airport and I see this everyday. Atmospheric science is my authority. We all live under flight paths Dale. Your San Jose flight path does not add any credibility to your argument. You have 20 different people here who are all providing you with information counter to your current belief. Do yourself a favor, switch teams. Do you not have any grand children? Why would you want to see them grow up in a world with toxic crap falling from the sky. Money isnt everything. You willing to trade your integrity and honor for money? Have you already sold your soul to the devil? I offered that not as proof but as an example. Wherever I go,Iook up flight path maps and check whether the vapors correspond to ordinary commercial flights. They always do. I urge you to do your own research in this manner, which will, as you will learn, confirms the findings of atmospheric scientists who call what you call chemtrails persistent contrails. So you can listen to the experts in the field and do your own research. You dont mrrf conspiracy theories(which poison the well of valid conspiracy allegations and distract from known lethal pollution) about alien influence or unnamed government agents to explain those white frozen vapors in the sky. I urge you to do the research I have conducted whenever I stay a while in a different place and draw conclusions from your own observations. Dale, I dont need commercial flight paths as proof, its much more simple than that. Maybe you are clouding your own thought process with all the flight path crap. When I stand in my backyard, look to the sky, see 2 planes flying at the same altitude, one leaving a chemtrail, the other leaving nothing, there is a conclusion to be drawn. If they are flying past each other with in a few miles, atmospheric conditions are the same for each plane, all the variables are taken out of the equation, the only conclusion is that one is spraying something and the other isnt. Is that too much for your brain to comprehend? Youve offered nothing. You are shill, not worth talking to. Go away!!! So that is your way of saying you dont want to do your own research and compare observed condensation trails to flight paths? Your lies (I wish I were paid but sadly I do this as a duty to expose myths and lies) and attempts to exclude me from the discussion are violently anti-American. I offer you a way to fact check the misinformation you are repeating by doing your own research. You have offered nothing but insults and lies; I offer you a way to find out for yourself. Why dont you prove me wrong by comparing observations by published flights paths. Nothing could be more persuasive or valuable. If you dont like my questions and suggestions, why dont you just ignore then (oh, you are)then why dont you just go away since you are not interested in finding out the truth, which I have offered you a way to check. Are you not interested in finding the truth from personal research? Are you afraid to have the claims you are repeating challenged with reasonable methods of verification? Are you afraid to find out you have been fooled? My sentiments exactly James I was about to say the same thing he sold his soul to the devil for what ? is it really worth it ? Ho!!! Well said!!! You see Dale, I have a degree in science. I work in a profession where I must measure the temperature and humidity of inspired gasses of people on life support everyday. I know how temperature and altitudes affect the humidity of gasses and how those gasses should react given varying data. I worked with a hyperbaric chamber for a number of years, the type used for divers with decompression sickness or nitrogen bubbles in their blood. I used it for research of several drug trials and wound treatment for diabetics. I know all the formulas and equations used to calculate density of gas, relative humidity and how much moisture a gas will hold at different altitudes/temperatures. What we see in our skies is not normal everyday contrails. Persistent contrails is a fake term used to promote the government shills lies. There is nothing you can tell me that will change my view of the chemtrail argument. We are being sprayed like cockroaches. Get over yourself and listen to what the rest of the world is telling you. I bet you would act differently if we were face to face. Its easy to lie to people when your face isnt attached to the lie. The shilltard is doing what hes paid to do Dis credit chem trails with fake paid for science facts then demands us to provide evidence. Science facts are what actual scientists work with. Where do you get your information? Your ugly insults are not evidence but witness to a lack of evidence. BTW, the actual emissions of flights do pollute; the EPA has asked for authority to regulate, as it does pollution from vehicles on the ground. But as long as you are preoccupoied with false conspiracies blaming the government, you will not focus on the real vfillains poisoning your health and chanrging you for it. IF you have evidence, present it. Your ugly insults only demonstate your lack of both character and intelligence. BTW I have no desire to read your fake rants shill go tell someone who cares Where do you get the evidence that chemtrails are real or that I am a paid shill. All rational people demand evidence. All rational people care. I do not rant and my questions are not fake. You are unable to answer these questions and so to cover up your inadequacy, you i USE MY OWN EYES ! I call you a shill BECAUSE YOU ACT LIKE ONE All Rational people do demand evidence but anyone with a brain cell would accept the truth put before them yet it is only shills like you who REFUSE point blank to accept it. So whats the point? Heres a useful site with some info that might help you understand better about Chemtrails Dale; geoengineeringwatch dot com I do understand as I have studied the findings of actual atmospheric scientists as well as knowing that geoengineeringwatch is funded by the fossil fuel industry to spread misinformation. Koch Industries and the Koch family spend millions of dollars on lobbyists to fight climate and energy legislation, millions more on politicians, and still more millions on organizations denying climate change. Through the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation as well as Koch Industries and the other Koch family foundations, numerous and substantial donations go to organizations that deny, skepticize or belittle the significance of global warming. Compared to ExxonMobil, which has spent over $27.4 million on skeptic groups since 1998, foundations linked to Koch Industries have spent over $70 million in traceable contributions to the same network of organizations, with addition untraceable funding funnelled through organizations likeDonors Trust. Key Koch-backed organizations include the Americans for Prosperity Foundation, which was founded and remains chaired by David Koch, the Cato Institute, which Charles Koch co-founded and David Koch remains a board member after an attempted coup, theInstitute for Humane Studies, which is chaired by Charles Koch, and the Reason Foundation, of which David Koch is a trustee. source: geoengineeringwatch.org Geoengineering.org and its sister radio station is well-produced propanda organ funded by Koch dark money. None of its articles is written by atmospheric scientists. Thekr leading author Dane Wigington is not an atmospheric scientist and he comes straight out of his employment by Bechtel Corporation, an engineering firm which is the 4th largest private company in the US. Bechtel has been a leader nuclear energy projects and oil pipelines. They were hired to extinguish the oil fires after the 1991 Gulf War. In 2003, Bechtel won a $680 million contract to begin rebuilding infrastructure in Iraq for U.S. Agency for International Development. The contract led to the company being accused of both non-competitive bidding and war profiteering. They have been heavily involved in the fossil fuel industry: The Oil Gas Chemical unit designs and builds liquefied natural gas (LNG), oil, pipeline, petrochemicals, and natural gas facilities..Bechtel is overseeing a third of the worlds LNG liquefaction capacity under construction. Bechtel is the project manager of a megapetrochemical complex in Qatar as well as one in Ohio. I point this out to highlight the background of geoengineeringwatchs lead investigator which is not in atmospheric science,in which he has no credentials but as an employee of one of the worlds largest petrochemical construction and management firms. Bechtel is a defense contractor with strong political ties. Bechtel leaders have served at the highest positions in government, which helps explain how they have billions in government contracts. This shows the link between the anti-climate science and chemtrails propaganda machine, which is funded by fossil fuel oligarchs. In addition, Bechtel is a major contributor mostly to Republicans who lead the against legislation to curb pollution. The propaganda machine is funded by the fossil fuel industry, which uses politicians to block legislation to curb pollution, and propaganda to confuse the public, Geoengineeringwatch is a website funded by this machine and it has no atmospheric scientists, while its leading investigator comes straight out of a huge corporation which is intimately linked to fossil fuel production. I dont take articles by anyone who is not an actual atmospheric or climate scientist seriously. Geoenginerringwatch has not one peer-reviewed article, and to experts in the field, it is a joke. I have over the years read many articles and links in geoengineering.watch. Not one article was ever written by a qualified atmospheric scientist. I urge you to take a class in atmospheric science and revolt against the profit-driven propaganda by non-experts you are urging me to believe. I have studied this issue for years ((I once believed in contrails)and I have concluded that I prefer real science to propaganda, promoted by cynical billionaires to confuse and distract the public, for the sake of protecing profits built on public subsidies of 6 trillion a year in costs shifted from the producers of dirty energy to the consumers and their governments (source:IMF) I do understand how contrails form and the effects they have. I urge you to do your own independent research and match flight path maps (google)with what you observe in the sky, as I have. And then, based not on spurious articles by non experts, but on your own observations, draw your own conclusions.. I also urge you to fact check the claims made on websites like geoengineeringwatch.com with reliable sources and actual scientists engaged in research in the field. How unreasonable is that? Well,so do greenhouse gases, and to lesser extent, ordinary contrails. Occams razor mandates that use the fewest assumptions to explain anything. Human greenhouse gas emissions completely explain global warming without any other assumptions. Dale, CO2 production is good for the planet. Tree growth is limited by one factor, atmospheric CO2. Photosynthesis increases in the presence of increased CO2. Carbon is stored, oxygen is produced. Our forests regulate our atmospheric CO2. As CO2 increases it is absorbed by trees faster, as CO2 decreases tree growth falls off keeping CO2 at a steady state. We could not increase atmospheric CO2 if we tried. I have explained this simple process to you several times yet you still fail to acknowledge it. Do you need peer reviewed data on photosynthesis? Its kinda funny how the planet has developed fail safe mechanisms to protect life isnt it? You got him by the short and curly s there I think James LOL, Im sure he will be back asking for peer reviewed evidence of this photosynthesis thing that I speak of.. Show me evidence of photosynthesis in the atmosphere above the level where plants grown and in 99% of the atmosphere. As the independent.co.uk reports: Carbon dioxide is being accumulated in the atmosphere at the fastest rate since records began, as scientists warn that the oceans and forests may have absorbed so much CO2 that their crucial function as carbon sinks is now severely threatened. he jump in atmospheric CO2 is partly the result of rising carbon emissions as the world burns ever-more fossil fuels, according to the latest World Meteorological Organisation report, which finds the concentration of carbon increased by nearly three parts per million (ppm) to 396ppm last year. But, crucially, preliminary data in the report indicates that the jump could also be attributed to reduced CO2 uptake by the Earths biosphere the first time the effectiveness of the worlds great carbon sinks has been scientifically called into question. Scientists said they were puzzled and extremely concerned by prospect of reduced absorption of the worlds oceans and plants, which they cannot explain and which threatens to accelerate the build-up of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere if the trend continues. Fake science does not trump real science. Exactly Dale But it does in your world ? CO 2 in the atmosphere, where there are no plants, warms the earth, melts glaciers, ice caps and sheets, and causes extreme weather. Oxygen is also good for life but too much will kill you. Scientific research has found that with increasing CO2 and decreasing forests, the balance has been upset and the forests are unable to sequester the increased C02. In addition, there are no trees at 20,000 ft where greenhouse gases also trap heat. You either have no idea what youre talking about, or you are in sync with the disinformation agenda. We have taken some notice of you. Dale knows nothing of what he speaks. As explained above Dale, the chemtrails may limit some light reaching earth it acts as a blanket(greenhouse gas) and prevents radiant surface heat from escaping in to space. Thus it causes global warming. I wont ask you how stupid you are. Oh, Dale Ruff! We have an advocate that is PEERLESS. Consider: in Vietnam, they used Agent Orange no, wait. only CONTRAILS, right? Repent, else pray that you do not ever cross my path. BINGO. What if the geo-engineering such as chem trails is acting as a greenhouse gas and causing the global warming/climate change? It allows 70% of the light through and allows none of the heat to escape back in to space. I didnt make this up by the way, I read that this is actually what is happening. The chemtrails have more of a greenhouse gas effect than carbon dioxide itself. Besides, humans can not increase carbon dioxide levels in the air. As co2 rises, trees grow faster maintaining a stead state in the atmosphere. Tree growth is limited by one thing, co2 present in the atmosphere, as it increases trees grow faster and co2 is trapped in the tree and returned back to the soil as coal when the tree dies. Well said. That is EXACTLY why we have global warming nothing to do with man made at all, Climate engineering is responsible just follow the money. Global warming is an empirical fact. Chemtrails contrails cover far less 1% of the atmosphere and cannot explain the rapid warming. Now you get to show your intellectual integrity by calling me more names:go! 1%? Chemtrails are visible over every continent on the planet. There are sites that keep track of this stuff on a international level. Do all of our continents only make up 1% of the earths surface.really? Do you want to come up with a number that sounds more reasonable? Oh wait I forgot you probably got the 1% number from a peer reviewed paper right? Global warming is a manufactured elite Lie to take whats left of our money, that my friend is Fact. What you are spewing is Lies. Thats what the Koch brothers, Exxon, and other fossil fuel billionaires spent hundreds of milliions to brainwash you with in order to protect the greatest profits in all human history. The IMF estimates the public subsides for the fossil fuel industry at 6 trillion a year, all coming out of our pockets. The program to reduce emissions and lessen the millions of deaths a year from pollution and catastrophic climate change by using carbon taxes to shift the cost of this damage back onto the producers is designed to protect your health the environment,and your pocket book.. You can believe the climate scientists and the successful carbon taxes in the most successful economies of Exxon research 40 years ago confirmed that burning fossil fuels was warming the planet and posed a threat. They buried the research and then funded the lies that there was a scientific uncertainty about global warming. 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. By Shannon Hall on October 26, 2015 http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/exxon-knew-about-climate-change-almost-40-years-ago/ No one has more money than the Koch brothers (100 billion) or Exxon (make 30-40 billion a year in profits) to misinform the publicand you should redirect your anger from shitards like me to those who have been cynically lying to you to protect their billions in profits. Shill the only Brainwashed people I see here are you and your buddies, once again, your fake science will not wash with me pal Every lie you tell diminishes your humanity. I rely on peer-reviewed science. Anything else is fake science. STop lying, Debbie. Hows your health these days, Dale? And your family.. how are they? Anyone with respiratory issues, cancer, or Alzheimers? Your transparently snide question can be answered:No. My family eats organic food (2 of us are vegans) and does not live near areas subject to pollution. New global data suggests air pollution kills 10 million people per year. arstechnica.com The most common source of pollution is coal and other fossil fuel combustion (ie 1 billion vehicles and 3.5 million flights per year,plus refinery pollution). Those who make billions from shifting the cost of killing millions and sickening hundreds of millions to the public are on record as funding anti-environmental propaganda campaigns, bribing politicians to block legislation to curb emissions, and funding anti-solar energy initiaives (as in Florida today). By blocking legislation, which would curb both emissions and their profits, they are able to continue to to shift the cost of their pollution, estimated by the IMF at 6 trillion per year, to the public, consumers, and the government. If my health were bad, would that make you happy? Would it confirm your cherished illusions? Would it prove ordinary pollution were not the cause? You are so obvious. No, Dale, I dont wish for your health to be bad. And I wasnt being snide. I wanted you to stop and think about it. I dont deny that pollution and fossil fuel emissions are causing many of our health and climate problems. But we are also being globally inundated by chemicals raining down on us. Barium, strontium, aluminum, to name a few. They dont just fall out of the sky! Were being sprayed with these dangerous chemicals from airplanes. Theyre in lakes and streams, on the ground you plant your veggies in, in the oceans, everywhere!! Theyre not only killing the planet, they want to kill us humans, too!!! Thats the plan. Look up Agenda 21. You can call me a quack, whatever, I dont care, but I care about life on earth, my life, my familys life.. ALL LIFE! If WE dont stand up to the people perpetrating these crimes against humanity, who will? We need to demand they stop spraying before it gets worse!! Why did you ask about my health? Were being sprayed with these dangerous chemicals from airplanes. Thats your claim, which you are repeating from online websites which have no atmospheric scientists on board and are funded by the fossil fuel industry. There is no evidence, and so your claims must be dismissed. Agenda 21, which I am well aware of, is a voluntary, non-binding set of proposals to protect the environment, reduce poverty, allow rights for women and children, and provide access to birth control to poor people. The crimes against humanity are being perpetrated by the very people who are funding these propaganda campaigns to poison the well of legitmiate conspiracy allegations and to confuse and distract the public from the evil they do in the name of private profits. When you have peer-reviewed evidence I will take you seriously. But the fact is you have none. You are repeating fossil fuel propaganda, designed to create support for blocking the government from curbing polluition, to protect the fortunes of fossil fuel billionaires. You are not a quack; you are a victim of propaganda. Thats NOT what Agenda 21 is really about, Dale. They prettied up the official definition so the people of the world wont revolt. I have read Agenda 21 and studied its adoption. I have correctly stated what it is about. If you have evidence that its actual proposals have a sinister meaning, please present it. Put up or shut up. Agenda 21 misinformation is promoted by the same dirty energy producers who wish to create opposition to laws to protect the environment and curb pollution. You are being suckered. If you have evidence, why withhold it. Assertions made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. Agenda 21 is voluntary and non-binding; its primary goal is to get nations and communities to adopt sustainable measures, to promote the rights of women and children, and to reduce pollution and poverty. If you have evidence to the contrary, its time to bring it forth. Heres a link to explain the true purpose of Agenda 21. https :// americanpolicy .org/ agenda21/ Heres an exerpt from that report: The last words according to its authors, GLOBAL POPULATION CONTROL AND REDUCTION What is Sustainable Development? According to its authors, the objective of sustainable development is Agenda 21 advocates the following measure to reduce population growth in the poorest regions like Do you disagree with any of these methods of the goals? In these poorest nations, millions of children die at an early age and starve to death. Do you oppose measures to eliminate this situation? Historically, as populations achieve financial stability as in the high income nations, the people voluntarily reduce birth rates to replacement levels or below. By reducing poverty and providing healthcare and birth control, the desperately poor will achieve food and economic security and will, as all other secure nations do, reduce its birth rate voluntarily. I totally support this goal and these measures. Which do you oppose? You didnt read that information, or you just skimmed over it. Youre hopeless, Dale. You ARE a f**king shill! Your first two links were pretty bogus: The first stated 1. There is readily available photographic evidence which shows that there was once an advanced civilisation on Mars which built large structures and there is some form of life there now. 2. Advanced technology which could probably be used to circumvent most of our current problems has been developed successfully in Black Projects. This includes anti-gravity and free energy technology. 3. Extraterrestrial beings have been interacting with the human race for 1000s of years and do so on a daily basis, leaving various kinds of evidence. The second was of a research paper which proved that fly ash is in the environment, something no one disputes, but it was retracted because it made claims which didnt meet scientific stndards. So why should I look at an anti-Agenda 21 source, when I have been familiar with Agenda 21 for over a decade and the adoption by states and nations and its methods and goals proposed? Evidence of extra-terrestrials, retracted fake sciencethats enough for me to realize you are part of a tiny minority with lunatic views. I know what Agenda 21 is about, protecting the environment, reducing poverty creating healthcare and rights for women and children. You didnt respond to my detailed last post asking if you disagreed with such methods and goals but climbed back into the gutter with obscene lies about my motives. That is your admission of failure to conduct rational discourse based on evidence. You are a sad person. WTH??? I did NOT post ANYTHING about aliens or extraterrestials! Youre delusional, Dale. I did NOT post a link to ANYTHING about Martians and extraterrestrials! You either entered the link incorrectly or youre delusional. https :// americanpolicy. org/ agenda21/ and you are a shill I expect nothing less from you. Well said Cat I agree 100% Thanks, Debbie. But I feel like Im arguing with a sign post. No matter what I say (or what anyone says) hes not going to change his mind. Hes hopeless. I know right? but thats what hes paid to do which is why I dont indulge them usually unless I see them ganging up on people, but you are quite right, hes been had by his Gov. and he doesnt even know it yet. you rely on a handbook of links to fake scientific papers it is You who needs to stop lying. You are still lying, Debbie. I have good research and critical thinking skills, developed through a world class education. I do not lie; I report on evidence, peer-reviewed research, and credible sources. I have no handbook; and any links I give are not to fake research. Time to stop lying. Even you know you are. I have good research and critical thinking skills, developed through a world class education. I do not lie; hmm really shill ? Ill just leave that one out there Adding lies to lies does not equal the truith, Debbie. You will leave that one out there because you cant refute it except by repeating your lie that I am paid to tell the truth. I wish I were. You will pay for each lie you repeat. Thats the law of karma. You cannot cut me down because I stand with the facts and refuse to liek since I do not need to. If you wish to check my educational background you can check my linked in profile. Where were you educated? Where is your evidence that I am a shill. Do you know that libel is a crime? You see all that BS you keep spouting, you are forgetting one thing, which beats your fake scientific evidence We OPEN our eyes WE SEE FOR OURSELVES !!!! You CANNOT and WILL NOT tell me that chemtrails are a figment of my imagination If you are not a shill, then you seriously need to go back to school because your arguments are seriously flawed and dis-proven We all see the condensation trails of the 3.5 million flights per year which happen when water vapor (laden with polluting jet fuel residues) is frozen in the stratosphere. Atmospheric scientists call these persistent contrails. You see these contrails and INTERPRET them as chemtrails. I have already completed my education at the top public and private universities in the world. Where did you go to school, Debbie? publicpolicypolling.com, a firm with a strong reputation for accuracy, reports: 4% of voters say they believe lizard people control our societies by gaining political power 5% believe exhaust seen in the sky behind airplanes is actually chemicals sprayed by the government for sinister reasons. You are in that 5% group; I am in the 95% group that accepts the findings of actual atmospheric science, which you call fake science but without any evidence of why the worlds atmospheric scientists would all be lying and promoting fake science. Honestly, my dear, you are beneath contempt. You have called me a shitard, libeled me with being a shill, and claimed that your interpretation of what you see refutes the findings of the worlds atmospheric scientists. I will leave you with an experiment and then I will end our dialogue. Google the flight path maps for your area. Then observe the condensation trails that you observe and see whether they match the flight paths. This will allow you to conduct your own research, as I have. I have found in both Northern California and Arizona an exact match. I will not open your posts, as I have no more time to waste with you. I urge you to do the research I recommend and draw your own conclusions. I have taken all your lies and insults as a badge of honor for providing evidence and questions you cannot address except with lies and obscenities. Do you know that Legal proceedings are about to commence on those Id give you 10 up-votes if I could, Debbie! bless you Cat Do you know that Legal proceedings are about to commence on those responsible for poisoning our skies ? so if anyone is talking Libel shill, thats us pal not you. What if what you are seeing are ordinary persistent polluting contrails which slightly warm the atmosphere from 3.5 million flights a year? What if atmospheric science perfectly explains what you are intepreting as chemtrails? You can do your own test. Look up flight path maps for your area and then correlated with trails you see in the sky. They will perfectly match, but dont take my word for it, do your own research. I get condemned as a paid shill by the chemtrail cult but when tell them they can confirm the total correlation on ordinary published flight paths with frozen vapor trails, they never do the research but curse me. I will stick with the empirical evidence. I urge you, if you have an open mind, to do the research I have done for your own area. Chemtrail terraforming has already reduced sunlight reaching Earths surface by up to 30% in some places. This is the bte noir of your solar agenda. The planet appears to be undergoing terraforming for someone or something that doesnt exist on Earth. To the best of our knowledge. So much for solar. The trump card on that has already been paid, and it never was going to be enough. Wind energy is only feasible in a relatively few places on the planet. I am in sympathy with your sentiments, but they have been checkmated by whoever is trying to alter the climate of the planet. You will notice I never said the phrase alien civilization, but the behavior of our leaders is only explicable if they are agents of something alien to the planet. In a way, it doesnt matter if there is an alien invasion or not. The agenda being carried out is AS IF there were an alien agenda at work somehow. It looks like a war against everything that lives and breathes. What kind of creepy things could survive on a dead planet? They definitely would be alien to this fantastic creation. This madness has to stop before there is no flesh alive. Well, its just a question, not an answer. Were talking about a vastly changed planet, hostile to the present life forms here. But what if there were an alien life form that required different conditions, hostile to us, but acceptable to them? Its just a question. Its not really a theory. But such drastic changes are going on that someone has to raise these questions, in order to make way for higher awareness. So, to your alien theory, I think this universe is way too big for some tiny little planet like the Earth to be the only life source. I saw something in the sky one day about 35 years ago that couldnt be explained by technologies then or now. The entire group of people I was with saw a object flying around a 747 taking off from a nearby airport. It was flying from front to back of this aircraft as the plane was climbing in altitude. Then the object stopped and hovered in the air as the plane flew away. It hovered for a minute or two, then it shot out of view, over the horizon in a split second. It was gone. Its not my alien theory. Im merely observing a spectrum of things that defy ordinary explanation. I dont have one shred of evidence of alien visitation, just some videos, that make me suspect something is going on thats beyond ordinary understanding. More then 5 billion as the world pop is estimated at 7.3 billion not that it really matters when you are talking about murdering that many people. Sad part is that if we actually cared about this planet more then the almighty dollar we could feed, cloth and provide clean power to everyone. But this will never ever happen as the power hungry would rather talk about population control then take a hit to their pocket book. We need higher awareness from lib-tards like you and less BS from shilltards like you. Are there aliens that could exist in that kind of environment? We certainly You are begging the question, assuming what requiires proof. Can you find an atmospheric scientist who accepts chemtrails? Contrails do indeed reduce sunlight, but they do not cool the atmosphere but warm it has they trap more energy than they let in. Solar energy is the fastest growing industry in the US. Wind energy is plauiable in many regions, from the coastal areas (where the most people live) to the mountains to the Saudi Arabia of wind, the MIdwest. You make assertions with no sources, no evidence, which means they are not facts but speculations. Germany, a nation half the sunshine of the American South and West has 30% wind/solar and on some days up to 80%. Your implication that our leaders are agents of aliens removes all doubt that you spend too much time watching lunatic youtube videos and have never had even one class in climate science and can provide not one peer-reviewed study which shows that chemtrails have reduced sunlight by up to 30% in some places. You are batshit crazy. You are an agent of falsehood. You think youll have special privileges because of all the high crotches youve sniffed. Youre a goddamned fool. Well said Obscene insults are the weapons of the impotent who have no rational refutation of facts and evidence.. The personal insult is the ultimate logical fallacy. This proves you are batshit crazy. I will continue to provide evidence and facts. You can continue to ignore them and believe your aliens are in charge lunacy and back it up with lies and insults. And you are a shill that parks himself on every page relating to Truth spreading your dis info lies. If you have the Truth, where is the evidence? Put up or shut up. Peer-Reviewed, Court-Admissible, Scientific Research Paper Published Exposing Geoengineering http :// stateofthenation2012 .com /?p=20032 (delete the spaces) Want more evidence, Dale? Well, here ya go http ://stateofthenation2012 .com/ ?p=5778 We keep giving you evidence but you still demand more I have been given two links: one to youtube videos. Scientific research is not presented as videos but as peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals. The other was a research project which showed that coal fly ash is in the troposphere, something no one who has ever looked at a coal smokestack has ever doubted. The research paper then speculated the fly ash was the result of being sprayed from tankers with zero evidence and ignoring the fact that the EPA has had data on tons and tons of fly ash in the atmosphere for many decades. The paper has been retracted for having problems. I have been given no evidence: videos are not evidence; retracted research papers which prove what no one disputes are not evidence. Claiming you have evidence is not evidence; if a liar claims he is telling the truth, does that make it the truth. When you have peer-reviewed research, get back to me. We keep giving you evidence but you still demand more Prove its NOT a possibility. Solar and wind are poor sources of renewables, poor efficiency. The real technology for independence is suppressed. Magnetic power structures and apparatus would be more efficient and would never stop producing power. Proving a negative is nearly impossible. Can you prove you are not a pedophile? Conspiracy theories have the burden of proof since they challenge the consensus of the scientific community and make a number of assumptions not necessary to explain the condensation trails observed. If there is real technology for independence, wealthy innovators like Elon Musk would develop it. Elon Musk announces that all Tesla patents will be available for anyone to use, in good faith. Unless you have evidence for your claims they have no credibiliy. And I challenge you to prove you are not a child molester. Solar and wind are highly successful and in many regions, such as Africa, Renewable with some days up to 80%. Molten salt solar plants are now able to produce energy 24/7 and new battery technology is able to store solar and wind energy for use 24/7. The price of solar has decreased by 90% since 2000 and there are twice as many solar workers in the US as coal. Here are some facts: The U.S. solar industry continued on its record-breaking trajectory in Q2 2015 with 1,393 megawatts (MW) of installed solar capacity, making this the largest Q2 in history. As has been the case over the last 18 months, the residential and utility-scale markets led the way, installed 463 and 729 MW, respectively. Through the first half of the year, the solar industry has supplied 40% of all new 2015 elecric generating capacity more than any other energy technology. With more than 5,000 MW of installed solar capacity projected over the second half of 2015, the U.S. solar industry is expected to reach nearly 8,000 MW for the year, and 28,000 MW in total. Other key takeaways: There are now over 22,700 MW of cumulative solar electric capacity operating in the U.S., enough to power more than 4.6 million average American homes. With over 135,000 installations in the first half of 2015, nearly 784,000 U.S. homes and businesses have now gone solar and a new solar project was installed every 2 minutes. Growth in Q2 was led by the utility-sc ale sector, which posted its largest quarter of the year at 729 MW, and the residential sector, which grew 70% over last year to install 473 MW and will likely surpass its 2014 total in Q3. Since the implementation of the ITC in 2006, the cost to install solar has dropped by more than 73%. While residential costs have dropped by 45% since 2010, utility-scale costs have dropped more significantly, with recent contracts at prices below $0.05/kWh. Other nations are heavily investing in solar, including China, which invests more than the USA , and In many states, you can have solar installed for zero down and reduce your electricity bill by 2/3 and power your home and electric car. If you buy solar ouitright, it will pay for itself in 57 yrs and give you 20 more years of clean, free energy. Free energy? That is why the fossil fuel industry and the Koch brothers are trying to destroy solar and spreading the lies that you have swallowed. When Dale tries to refute chemtrails and promotes wind power in the same sentence, red flags. Like I stated below, I believe the current chemtrail program is being used to create many of the weather disruptions we see today. By making the atmosphere conductive they can use the HARRP technology to modify weather patterns. They can create droughts by creating low pressure systems above or below a area and steer rain producing systems away from a certain area, we see this in California where most of our food is grown btw. They can intensify storm systems by placing low pressure systems over naturally occurring severe storms systems. These intense storm systems are them blamed on global warming from CO2 production. Then Obama pushes international climate legislation that taxes industries out of business here in the United States and collects a bunch of revenue for international organization like the IMF and World Bank who btw pursue a One World Government agenda. It may seem far fetched but all the pieces fit. I think the chemtrailing is to create a cold, dry planet. Is there some race that has bargained for such an arrangement? If you have been following the United States foreign relation agenda you will notice we have been attacking and overthrowing leaders who fail to allow the international banking system within its borders. We been propping up those who comply. The elite want all banking systems under their power so they can destroy their currencies like they are doing today here in the US. This global carbon tax scheme is nothing but wealth redistribution, they are weakening the power of the citizens and empowering those who want to control us. We need to find that nest of rats and exterminate them. a cold dry planet wouldnt be suitable for growing enough food to feed 5 billion people, I guess someone needs to be culled. Unless its only being made cold and dry until they stop doing something. After most of us are dead that IS the aim, isnt it? I dont know if they can make us cooler or drier. They can direct where the rain will fall. If it falls in a area where it cant be utilized then that would give the appearance that the planet is drying up. But, yes I am convinced that the ultimate goal of government is to cull the human race. They cant do that to a armed nation like the U.S.. Obama is working on that though. Well then its failing since the earth is warming. Do you think the earth is cooling. Jeeze!!!!!! I have nothing to say that your closed mind could comprehend. I recall summers in the late 60s and early 70s that were almost unbearable hot, even in the middle of the night. Its not like that anymore. Im nearly 68, and very sensitive to temperature changes. And its mid-January in Virginia, and theres no snow or ice to be seen. My mind is open to evidence. Your memory of hot nights 40 years ago is not evidence. And then you compare summer and winter. Oh dear.we are talking about global climate, William, and the empirical evidence of warming, melting ice caps, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, record heat waves on all continents, etc. not 40 yr old memories that summer was hot. At any given time, 2/3 of the earth is warming and 1/3 is cooler. Do the math. Ya William, you must have been in a bubble of warming. Dale, look back at world climate history. Weve had climate change throughout the centuries. Not that I disagree with you that industrial pollution and fossil fuel emissions, etc., are causing a lot of our problems, mainly health problems, but I dont trust the scientists and governments who believe that natural fluctuations in the earths temperature are not happening.. And then theres the chemtrail problem, but you dont understand that, or just refuse to see what you can see with your own eyes. Oh and Fukushima.. that is an atrocity on a global scale! Im 62 and I recall those summers too. What I also recall is that our home didnt have central air-conditioning. We only a few window units and some days I couldnt do anything but sit in front of them with a both of ice cubes. I lived in the country though, so I dont know when other homes got central A/C. Our schools didnt have it, just fans, and we were miserable in Sept, some Octobers, and May. chemtrails = greenhouse gas = warming = international climate agenda = carbon tax scheme If you were wondering, the ingredients in the chemtrail slurry is aluminum, barium and strontium, which are all heavy metals and cause Alzheimer, cancer and weaken the immune system respectively. Aluminum in the soil also has a effect on food production in the farming industry. Monsanto has produced a line of seeds that are aluminum resistant, how convenient. But, what I was getting to is that these HARRP instillations can create low pressure systems by pushing upper levels of the atmosphere in to space, creating a void underneath that causes surrounding air columns to swoop in and fill the void. This is how frozen birds sometimes fall out of the sky. They get caught in these updrafts that are created and freeze when sucked in to upper atmosphere. Whats your source? I mean peer-reviewed studies. Anyone can repeat the propaganda from people with no experience in atmospheric science. Sorry Dale, you peer reviewed garbage is nothing but garbage. We all know that this peer reviewed system is nothing more than a way to eliminate data that doesnt fit the government official version. You have been officially shut down. Stop trying, your days of misinformation are over. Why do I need government scientists to review something when I have no faith that a government scientists is going to tell us the truth in the first place? Shut up and move along. Most scientists are not government scientists.. There are ten thousand climate scientists in 180 nations, a minority working for 180 governments, most academics with good salaries in public and private universities, and many working for corporations. As for telling me to shut up, I will with all due respect, tell you that I have no intention to tolerate your fallacies and generalizations. I will say to you, if you have evidence that 97% of climate scientists are sold out government employees, present your evidence: Put up or shut up. Wrong, all scientists are bought out by big government to produce facts and/or statistics that shore up the governments official version. If they refuse their reputation is ruined and career is lost. I have read many stories that prove this theory. No I will not provide sources, look it up yourself. Not all scientists, but a great majority. The ones who try to tell the truth are silenced. True, I was getting carried away. Not a problem. dale ruff hey dale, I am in Canada between Buffalo and Detroit. some days I observe partially cloaked white tanker aircraft spraying in checker board patterns. after they pass, the ChemTrails fall down in a curtain formation then as they disperse, the wind moves the curtains sideways. our bright cloudless sunny clear sky turns a wispy darker blanket that blocks out our sun. some commercial aircraft were equipped for spraying but that may have been slowed some. the larger passenger aircraft do leave a short white contrail about one half a meter behind which quickly fades away. this, compared to the 35 kilometer ChemTrails that saturate our atmosphere. Lets see the pictures of the spraying.. If you think you are seeing chemtrails, surely you are taking pictures to show the world. What does partially cloaked mean? Commercial aircraft fill with passengers to the last perimissable pound so it is unlikey they would add more weight with spray and then corrode the plane spraying. It sounds like you have already decided what you are seeing are chemtrails tho I know of now atmospheric scientists who accept this conccept. Commericial aircraft in freezing termpartues will leave long contrails which will then spread sidewasys as cirrus clouds dimming the sun and slightly warming the atmosphere. I fail to see how you can observe a contrail a foot long at 35,000 ft. Hundreds of tankers spraying -where are the pictures? How are you, with no background in a field able to disprove peer reviewed studies as being not mistaken but based on lies. Even if you could, how do you know they are lies rather than miistakes? Unless you can provide evidence your claims have no credibility. more evidence? like I said shilltard it wouldnt matter how much evidence was put right before your blinded eyes YOU WILL STILL DEMAND MORE because your job is making sure the Truth stays hidden so give it up shill you wont win. 97% of those so called climate scientist took thousands of dollars in bribes to say exactly what you are preaching shill You are demonstrating pure anti-science anti-intellecualism. Real scientist do not take anything that is not peer-reviewed seriously. You call the apex of scientific research garbage. Got it. You hate knowledge; you prefer propaganda and myth. Peer-reviewed about which you clearly know nothing has zero to do with the government official version. It has to do with a discipline which works because it has no central committee or appointed authority but works through letting peers judge the work of peers. Your defense of ignorance is tragic. I say the apex of scientific research has been hijacked by a out of control government with a agenda that differs from the of the American people. not just the American people but Globally. Your defense of a system of peer reviewed crap that limits and excludes reputable scientists is flawed. What better way of weeding out theories that differ from big government than some peer reviewed garbage system. If this is the system that got us where we are today, it needs to be thrown out and/or revised. Our government has unlimited money and influence and controls all of the science coming out today. I do not trust this government, Obama or you. Shove your crap where the sun dont shine. Well said James. TY:) most welcome LOOK IT UP, you sluggard. None of us is your paid research assistant. Dont hate on others because your a sad and miserable lib tardYou sound like you been drinking o.frauds kool-Aid way to long ..:-) Dont hate on? What are you, 14? Yep,,,dont be a hater tator. ; ) I thought he was 12. I think you give him too much credit, even 12 and 14 year olds know more about life than this schmuck True. And remember they ran their mouth on me first ..You jump in someone elses battle cafeteria lady.. I doubt that very much.I jump into someone Elses battle when you shills decide to attack. Every time shilltard. LOL, looking back at the posts I think John accidently made a comment to you that was meant for Dale and things just got more confused after that. I think we are all on the same page and in agreement that Dale is a government hack. I think John is another shill James, same page as Dale. oh ok, I wasnt paying close attention. I thought everyone was on one side and Dale was on the other. I was trying to get Dale to admit defeat, tuck his tail between his legs and scamper away. Man, I have never seen a government shill with such tenacity. I think he actually believes what he is saying. James you have no idea, these shills come in great disguises they really are scum of the earth, its their job and they get paid for being vile and manipulative, recently I was mobbed by several on Global skywatch which pretends to be about chemtrails but is actually ran by shills who mob and discredit anyone who believes in chemtrails and one of them friend requested me, gullible me thought he was a genuine truth seeker so I let him him all he wanted to know was if there were any more chemtrail sites! I said, yes, so when he asked where they were, I said in time when you prove to me you are not a shill but when I questioned the request, as I do now thanks to the shills, I didnt trust his answers, and pretty soon within minutes he had screen shotted my whole fb page all over Global skywatch !! I had at least 20/25 of them ganging up on me calling me chemtard scum go kill myself etc etc all because I believed in chemtrails Im not sure if this one actually believes what hes saying? I think he might. in which case he has been fooled along with the rest of us. No kidding, I had no idea. I may have to make up a new email and pay this Global skywatch a visit, I bet Dale is the ring leaderlol I bet he is lol or if not that one another just like it Please do, I would love to be a fly on the wall No, James. Cant be. I think the government requires their hacks to have higher than a 6th grade education. I was referring to our resident troll, not Dale. After all, Dale is an educated scientist and we hold them in such high esteem, dont we? I think youre confusing William Burke with someone else. Im,not confusing nothing..He emailed me out of the clear blue and got smart with meI think your older age made you senile..And I think your Lib-tard a$$ needs to mind your own bizTitty tat gurl Your UGLY mouth will come back and bite you shilltard Ha,,,They should round up you and all the rest of the little lib- tards and when your planet x comes by they can stick you all on itha ha ha ha ha ha ha ? you shills all like to say ha ha ha ? whilst you spout your shilltard handbook of lies You sound like a pathetic moron wanting some REAL truth BUT you are human and Face it if your taking up for cat411 and William Burke your a treasonous traitor too peek a boo : ) I dont understand what taking up for cat411 and William Burke means ? If you mean do I stand beside them as fellow truth seekers then Yes John you are right.I do. and that makes me a treasonous traitor ? Fat olga ,.you can say what ever trash you want in your la la land world ..But watch that mouth when you speak children ..I have kids and raise by myself..And whats your name oh Debbie Ogrady ; ) you are an immature little boy, go away the adults are talking Remember I own thiz site oldirty watch on youtube,,psychopathic rydas song is who I be,,watch videoThats who I am whiteboys , pick which one I am I couldnt listen to more than a couple of minutes.

I have looked thru your comments and theyre all stupid and juvenille. You dont discuss any of the topics in an intelligent way, you just bash people right and left, or youre trying to get a laugh from other trolls. You know, if you showed a little more class, you might be taken seriously someday. STFU,, how you know wtf Ive done with your 175 posts..Ive been on here way longer than you and I see everyone on my side but your funk mouth a$$ and the other 2 losers..Its like this you butt your wart nose where it dont belong stay out others conversations ..And when someone gets smart with me Im fukn with them back..You sub-human troll..Talk to someone else that can stand ya.. Youre a real hot-head, arent you? I wouldnt trust you with a gun on the front lines of anything. Your language shows real class NOT. I dont care how long youve been on here or how many posts youve written. Quality over quantity. Besides, I dont comment to get people to respond, I post my thoughts on the topic being discussed. I have class not like you trying to survive in your hoarded bathroom while your bed ridden on the sh!tter..Your throat hangs 5 feet and they got to use a electronic jack to move it up and down so you can talk..Cause your vulgar I signed you up for the Fattie Mae foundation Whats a hoarded bathroom? Ive never heard of anyone hoarding bathrooms before. Do you kiss your kids with that trash mouth?

Havent you ever heard the saying that with age comes wisdom? I have you beat by a mile. you are welcome Cat. Debbie OGrady sounds like a old woman that work in a cafeteria back in school with big grossly ,grisley , warts and growths all over neck and faceewwww yucky You and cat411 both have cooties na na na na na na Debbie and Cat411 have cooties na na na na na na, ha ha ha ha ha he he : ( dont cry lil gurl dont cry ..ha ha ha ha And You john Dont wish things on others it can come back 3 times ta bite yaKARMA ; ) Its obvious to me that youre targeting William, which is a juvenille thing to do. Im not a lib-tard, far from it, little boy. When you post on an open forum and say stupid sh|t, expect others to comment. Your a Lib- Tard Traitor..TITTY TAT CAT BOY.HA HA HA Grow up! Do you even know what a lib-tard is? Ya I know what it is ..I came up with the word on here Im a vet on this siteAnd I will grow up and call it truths when you apologise for getting smart with me for no reason..I write letters make calls donate everything I can to help save our country and if Im ever needed on the front line im there too..When it all goes down..But I apologise to you ..Be a man and do the samepeace You came up with lib-tard? Really? Its a slang word for a l|beral, which I am certainly not. I cant be a man, I am a woman. (Cat as in Catherine) I didnt get smart with you, all I did was point out that I thought you were confusing William with someone else. The only thing Ill apologize for is misunderstanding that. You got smart with me when you told me to mind my own business and you know the rest. I accept your apology. It takes guts to admit when youre wrong. Ha,,,see just like every lib-tard a person cant win a dispute either..Your either right or nothing..You couldnt of just said your right, lets squash it but no..And like William he got smart with me and Being a total d!ck..so all I can say is little miss titty tat that cant be wrong..Have a nice day I think I explained my position very cleary. Now get this straight.. I AM NOT A LIB-TARD (L|BERAL). I am a conservative. And I am not feeling well right now so please. PEACE! Thats why I said have a nice dayGo to the doctor it can do you a milliontitty tat gurl.. I hear your kids could of helped you wipe your buns but you ate themMathuthsala I think your right Dale..And dont worry oh William Burk got told off ..Hes just a hateful Lib-Tard Taking life out on people running his gums.. Monsanto has produced a line of seeds that are aluminum resistant BINGO!! Watch what they DO, not what they say. You should eat the corn the seeds produceYummy for the tummy : ) I am not trying to refute chemtrails, since not one atmospheric scientist thinks they exist. I am trying to show you that the burden is on you to explain why you know more the worlds atmospheric scientists. You can believe what you want, unicorns, alien rulers, because belief is not based on evidence but on faith. I will stick with science. All you are saying is what you have read by non atmospheric scientists and since it comes without evidence, it can be dismissed without evidence. The fossil fuel industry shifts 6 trillion a year in costs (according to the IMF study) onto the public now. The purpose of curbing emissions thru such devices as a carbon tax is to reduce greenhouse gases and shift the cost back to the producers of dirty energy to motivate them to innovate and clean up their lethal emissions to avoid the tax and to promote alternative clean energy. . Carbon taxes have worked without raising taxes and have curbed emissions in the most successful economies in the world, including Ireland (6% growth rate), Germany, and Sweden. The taxes are used as dividends to consumers, to offset other taxes, and to promote green energy. You need to quit reading anti-science propaganda and crack a book on climate science and study how carbon taxes have worked in these nations, some of which have had them for over 20 years. Global warming is a global problem so necessarily requires a global solution. You need to educate yourself and quit repeating the bullshit funded by the cynical fossil fuel industry whose own research confirmed AGW over 40 years ago but who buried it and have funded anti-science propaganda to protect their tens of billions of profits, based on that shifting of costs to you and me through higher insurance premiums, higher taxes to subsidize oil and coal, and the cost of environmental and climate damage. You are being suckered. I urge you to give up your believes and learn some real science. Dale the worlds population has been brainwashed for decades including mainstream science, which is flawed, everything we know is wrong, including popular scientists and current scientific theories. Lets look at history for a second, centuries ago scientists and leaders told us that the earth was flat! That the earth orbited the sun, that the earth was the center of the universe. Do you still believe this? No! of course not because our technology has improved to the point where we can categorically say that this is not true. It was announced a year or so ago that scientists can now move particles of light FASTER than the speed of light. According to Einsteins theory this is not possible, but it is. Now I read of Australian scientists have done experiments with time travel. The point I am making is nothing is set in stone, no matter how plausible it may seem. No matter how many scientists say it is true or isnt true, really in fact, everything we know is wrong. Our science, our history is constantly been re-written because as the technology improves we discover that what we thought was so isnt so after all. It is good to keep an open mind on these things. Chem-trails are real Dale. Stop denying this. I too have observed contrails and chem-trails. Contrails dissipate after minutes, these chem-trails last for hours. There is something going on in our skies. The videos on you tube What in the world are they spraying and Who In The World Is Spraying I think sum up pretty much the agenda. These are well researched videos and are not to be dismissed. You are fighting an up hill battle here on this website in trying to deny it. Most people here are witnesses to the effects of chem-trails and have taken the time to study this and are convinced it is a reality. You might do yourself a favor and stop trying to convince all these people otherwise and maybe do a bit of research yourself and KEEP AN OPEN MIND! Just because the mainstream media, mainstream scientists and the corporate controlled government says it isnt true it doesnt mean it isnt. I love science but after years of reading articles that go against what I was taught at school years ago tells me that science is always changing as technology improves. Stop living in the past. Whoops typo alert, I meant to say that the sun orbited the Earth not the other way around. Hehehe, I have been enjoying the Christmas break a little too much today, my bad. But everything else I said still stands. I read a deal and now their saying the earth orbits the sun ..That we have been lied too..And we are not spinning like they say alsoSo you could have been right..And they say earth is flat ..I think it was 30s or 40s subs used a flat eath map..And this day they still use it..They said if they used the other map they would get lost and not no where they was goingSo whos right..I guess only Nasa and russia knows the truth.. HAARP in Alaska has apparently been shut down for a year and a half or so. So there are new locations somewhere. DUH!!! Where did Dale mention chemtrails and wind power in the same sentence? I read his post several times. Not that I disagree with you about chemtrails and weather modification, but youre getting off topic here. However, I do agree with Dale that we need to stop relying on fossil fuels for energy. Solar energy is the way to go. I have a few doubts about wind power. It was above, here is the quote. It was in different sentences but still in the same post. You are begging the question, assuming what requiires proof. Can you find an atmospheric scientist who accepts chemtrails? Contrails do indeed reduce sunlight, but they do not cool the atmosphere but warm it has they trap more energy than they let in. Solar energy is the fastest growing industry in the US. Wind energy is plauiable in many regions, from the coastal areas (where the most people live) to the mountains to the Saudi Arabia of wind, the MIdwest. You make assertions with no sources, no evidence, which means they are not facts but speculations. I replied to you the other day, but somehow it didnt get posted. I have no idea why it wouldnt have been approved. Anyway, thanks for pointing out what I missed. Some of my replies have also not been posted either Cat, John says he OWNS this site ? I wonder is this ran by shills too and only certain info is allowed ? I posted a whole page of evidence for John yesterday and it said waiting to be approved but it actually came from Active Post. I cant find it but if that hasnt been posted then I am now dubious about Active post too.. Nah, selfnews Post are allright. Ive been a subscriber for yrs. Sometimes things dont get posted (are moderated) when they have links in them (unless seperated by spaces) or contain certain words. I found out the other day that l|beral is one of those no-no words. Debbie, Ive been trying to reply to you for several minutes, but my posts keep getting moderated. I mustve said something wrong. lol MAYBE 1 or 2 of em will turn up later. oh thats very strange.. why is that I wonder? I hope this isnt moderated by shills. John doesnt own this site. Cat Im unable to reply to you so Ill leave it for now and hope its just a glitch. I dont know why theyre so strict about posts, but I guess it keeps the riff-raff out, so thats a good thing. We just have to figure out the bad words and find a way around them, like Lib(eral. yep I agree, and Ive just posted a link with no spaces and it still wasnt posted so Ill have to figure that one out too I live off grid so am a huge proponent of solar, wind, geo-thermal etc. Unfortunately none of these can economically heat a home in over half of the US. Heat is always the catch for individual systems. I live in an area with abundant firewood. Not something that can be used in many cities and suburbs where 85% of Americans live. Sounds like this may have been an old garbage dump from years ago now this old dmup is spewing our the remains of the rotting garbage . ///////////// Time to cap this with some well diging and take this gas using this as a power source to generate power instead of using OIL or COAL to fire the boilers to create the steam for the turbines to turn the generators thus creating power . /////////////////////////////// I am inclined to agree with you in your assessment. Yes indeed. This methane can be tapped to be made useful as you correctly state. It is energy, being wasted and left to become another Crisis to not go to waste by the usual suspects. No. Its an underground Natural Gas underground storage area. Did you not read what this place is? Natural gas has been PUMPED INTO this underground vault for DECADES!!! This shows the problem with carbon sequestration also. You can pull it out of the air and pump it underground and the only thing you will achieve is a bunch of dead people when it starts leaking accidentally or intentionally. Sequestration, I thought, was an issue in some recent court case. Seriously, CO2 levels are at nearly-historical lows. The times of the greatest biological diversification on Earth were the times of much higher CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Im glad this news has finally hit main stream. I have been e-mailing it all around on the internet., to get some ones attention. People were getting sick. And knowing how our gov. is slow to move, especially obama was pushing for gun control. This didnt matter to him. The more people got sick so what. They didnt matter, this is how I saw it. Obama is more devious then people know. I feel it. I have known him before he was elected and tried to warn people. They all thought I was crazy.!!! I had no idea this was happening! This is the first Ive heard of it. Im glad its being brought to light now. Obama and his friggin gun control! Youre not crazy, barbara. I tried to warn people too and I didnt know him personally. Its what I didnt know that bothered me; the unanswered questions. This is the biggest political cover-up in American history. Im curiousin what way did you know him before his theft of the office? Call it my 6th instinct kicking in, or my bible knowledge . Ive had this happen to me on a few times. But the night before the election I couldnt sleep, I was that worried. The next morning I couldnt do anything. I just sunk to the ground and knew we were in for some bad times and if we would ever recover. Here is the kicker. Israel came a country back in 48, again. The Bible tells you they are the last generation.-that is also for the world. He is not mocked, what he says comes true. And our Gens 12:3 says it all. And what obama has been trying to do to Israel, should make everyone shaking in their shoes, in worry.!! Cant be any plainer then that.!!! You said you knew him before he was elected. So that would be in the spritual sense? Not trying to argue with you, its just you made it sound like you knew him personally, in the physical sense; that youd met him or worked for him. You see? You are not crazy, apparently I am too. Dioxin does anyone remember that this carcinogen is so dangerous that it has to be measured at the trillionth ratio of particulate. All incineration produces dioxin one of the reasons that environmentalists point this out regarding the coal energy cycle as well. Radon is an alpha emitter, that is to say radioactive and toxic. The benzene is a carcinogen I should know as my bladder cancer is related to a fuel oil spill that occurred at my residence when the fuel delivery man left the fuel pump in the on position causing the fuel to back up my vent and flood the roof of my house; the fumes were so intense I fell to the floor almost passing out. It is nine years later I have had 28 cystoscopys as my situation has to be continuously monitored so much for not being harmful. Fortunately I I have a good acupuncturist/herbalist, I use Spectro-Chrome Metry light frequency healing; as well as the practice of Chi Gong and Tai Chi Chuan healing arts. Good to know youre not using chemotherapy. Have you tried CBD oil? I have a friend with breast cancer who swears that it works. CBD Oil works 100% I use it, my Dogs use it, in fact anyone I know who is sick, uses it It Works. My friend who makes it has cured quite a few people and dogs, he doesnt sell it he Gives it away and Doctors are scratching their heads as to where has the cancer has gone Anyone can make it and everyone should have the right to use it, it cures pretty much everything being the oldest PUREST medicine known to man. Im always hearing or reading about all the things it can cure. If I ever get cancer (which runs in my family) Im using CBD oil. Pharma companies will probably try to get it banned. :-/ They have tried, but they cannot patent a Weed plant!!! Im sorry to hear that in runs in the family Cat, and its a shame this wasnt known about years ago (THEY of course knew) the same with Sweet Wormwood its a Chinese salad herb and cures 98% of breast cancer in less than 16 hours!!! when paired with Iron (28% without the iron) so theres another cure They dont want us to be cured so I imagine now that they have legalised CBD oil as medicine in Colorado and various other states, what will happen is they will tamper with and destroy the healing properties best way is to make your own. Im going to tell my friend about that Sweet Wormwood. 16 hrs!? Yeah, there ARE cures, the pharmas just dont want you to know about em. My sister had lung cancer. Unfortunately she went with chemotherapy. One tiny little bottle (about 1-2 oz) of that poison cost $1600!! Needless to say, it didnt work. so sorry, many, many pointless deaths chemo is responsible for. If you take CBD oil AND have chemo there is NO point, but what they are now saying is that you should take CBD WITH chemo ??? and thats how they are getting away with legalising it by saying it HELPS the chemo BS of course, but if they didnt do that it wouldnt be available I dont think. $1600 ? WOW a high cost to pay to die. I wasnt aware it cost so much Im shocked, but Cancer is BIG PHARMA BUSINESS and finding a cure goes against their profit making margin! Im sorry your sister was taken but rest assured she is still here, her energy stays. Yes, and her death was so unnecessary. Its a long story, but if the docs had paid attention to her complaints before it was too late, she might still be alive today. She had so much to live for! I still get angry every time I think about it. I know shes still with us in spirit, I talk to her all the time, but I would so much rather she were here in the flesh. I know.. Doctors have a lot to answer for. Did you see the AP report of Big PHARMA Deaths ? and how many people chemo have killed? I think if Im not mistaken the figure is 7 MILLION plus since 2000!! Take a look, its not just chemo but their whole practice of killing us with their poisonous medicine is an eye opener for sure I havent read that report, but it doesnt surprise me. Ill check out the article. I dont trust doctors anymore. You would not believe the cr@p Ive been thru! Im considering suing one doctor. Ive got pieces of plastic (looks like a polymer) coming out of the side of my foot where the doc put artifical skin on the wound, caused by an infection. Long, long story. That doesnt sound good at all, ANY infection like that will clear up within hours with the oil, if only I could send you some arrrggg how annoying!!! Which is why I take the oil because of what they did to me. long story short but along with all the botched up kidney operations I had, I am unable to have children. Im 45 now and was diagnosed 2 years ago with Autism. I am allergic to everything food/drink wise, even breathing in the toxic air can bring on a fatal Asthma attack.. I do not go out after heavy spraying because I cannot breath, every day is a struggle and this is what THEY did to me so thats my reasons for wanting to take back control of my own life. BTW If you need a holiday and decide to visit the UK? come and see me Wow, youve bee thru a lot, Debbie. Damn! Im so sorry. I understand everyday struggles. Same here. :-/ We have to live conditionally and it suxxx! CBD would heal it within hours?! Chit! If I could only find some. Ive had this wound since early July 2015! I fired the doc and the visiting nurses around the end of July after I realized what they were doing to me. Friggin quacks, all of em! Id love to visit you in the UK. Ive never been there, but Ive always wanted to visit. Yep since I was born premature with bronchial pneumonia and deformed kidney, fighting for life seems normal add to that all the different drugs and jabs (vaccines) I was given as a child some of which were then banned, so its no wonder but even now, still, we are all going through PIP but thats another story, targeting the sick and disabled. Cameron has a lot to answer for as does Obummer. I would say the oil will definitely shift that but without seeing it, hard to say. I have seen skin cancers/complaints clear up within days, some within hours, its pretty potent stuff! And you actually pay these f***ers for the privilege!? Wow. It is beyond belief what they are doing to us I still pinch myself daily, is this for REAL? I saw a trailer yesterday for the new series of the X files starting in Feb, EVERYTHING they said is what is going on now!! such as alien technology, the NWO, agenda21 etc etc I could not believe my ears I had to rewind and listen again! A must watch I think Then you are welcome to come over, we can sort something out My friend with cancer would sure love to get some free! She says its pretty expensive here in Texas. How can a person make it? All you have to do is go to phoenix tears website, I did provide a link earlier but it wasnt allowed, Rick shows you how to make it, my friend is a marine biologist/scientist and hes been making this stuff for years as a smoke, not knowing its healing/cancer properties until I saw Rick Simpson run from the cure all he did was alter the process slightly and Bingo you have life saving medicine. Even old grannies are making it, but you must be careful and follow the rules and you will be fine. My friend with cancer would sure love to get some free! She says its Heres a better link for Clifford Carnicum https: // carnicominstitute .org /wp / (delete the spaces) Dale: you wanted scientific evidence.. THANKYOU!!! Youre very welcome!! Your mommys calling you. Time to get off the computer and go do something constructive. Life on earth was so much better before industrialization. Id give up every electronic and mechanical device I own to be able to go back in time a couple of hundred years. *sigh* Hey everyone, save yourself the energy: dale ruff = Government TROLL. He lives off of this site, always selling global warming, denying geoengineering, defending NWO agenda. Well said Troll buster! Dale Ruff is really a trollAnd I took up for him once Wow my apologies Dale, you asked for it, you got it. Peer-Reviewed, Court-Admissible, Scientific Research Paper Published Exposing Geoengineering http :// stateofthenation2012 .com /?p=20032 (delete the spaces) Want more evidence, Dale? Well, here ya go. http ://stateofthenation2012 .com/ ?p=5778 3016?? Dang, Im gonna have to miss the party. So it wasnt an emergency for the first 2 months? Jerry Brownhole for prison! I know of a whole family in the valley who have been sick for a couple months too, they still have no idea this is happening and despite telling them about it they are too sick to figure it out. They have been diagnosed with everything under the sun from Kaiser, whos Documentors (Docs) seem too stupid to figure it out as well. Most people live in a bubble of denial, because weve been conditioned to think that everythings okay; the government will handle it. No worries! Hey, did you catch the game on TV last night? Many of us have woken up and opened our eyes to the truth. I hope the people you know in the valley wake up and realize something is very wrong and get the he|| out of there before they get more sick! The docs at Kaiser arent stupid, theyre programmed, too, and probably paid to keep quiet. I didnt see any more about these guys. Did they get silenced, too? Ive seen both of these videos and they do give excellent evidence of the dangerous chemicals being sprayed on us, and why. Dale probably wont even look at them because theyre on youtube. Persistent contrails, my a$$!! I think those chemicals have affected his grey matter. Hey, Dale Ruff: No threatsjust a simple guarantee. You are TOO well-informed to be ignorant of the expression covert chemical warfare. No, Dalethe SHAME is on YOU. Again, repent before you find yourself in the hands of the LIVING GOD. Well said, thank you!! No thanks are necessary (except to God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, whose Spirit it is that informs us of these UNREPENTING liars of the synagogue of Satan). It is both my DUTY and PLEASURE to help the elect DEFEAT the vile enemies of both God AND man. Thanks and praise be to our Advocate and Righteous One, the Lord above All, Christ Jesus. The LIARS ought to be fighting against global POISONING, and not warming. Whether the environmental toxins be HOT or COLD, they are nevertheless TOXIC. Dale Ruff, can you gainsay or resist that? Youre absolutely right! The louder we become, the more they can hear us. I noticed Dale (our resident persistent contrail) never replied to you. Thank god for that, thanks Cat, AP is one of those sites you come to for truth, but I thought that about GSW too, what a mistake that was so yes it must have been the link I sent from AP but youre right why I even bothered I do not know, we have ALL given him the evidence he demanded which he then ignores or disappears ! People/shills like him are determined to take over sites like this with their fake science but luckily on AP unlike youtube or fb thankfully the comments and likes are genuine. Well, all my pending posts are showing up NOW. Jeeeez! Its a shame the shills/skeptics take over those sites, when we need them! There are a few bozos here, but they usually get shutdown by the truth-seekers except for Dale. He is like a persistent contrail (as he calls chemtrails). He spreads his lies and just wont dissipate. yay! ha ha well said what a GREAT analogy of Dale, I love that they get shut down on here, it keeps me coming back! the others are only great if you agree with what they say. which I dont. but that pesky Dale just wont dissipate ! LOVE it lmao Thanks! I thought it summed him up pretty well. lol Im going to refer to him as a persistent contrail from now on. They get shut down because WE outnumber and out-class THEM. Well said Thanks, Debbie! Ive been reading the comments that suggest using ethyl alcohol instead of naptha, but its very interesting. Im not sure if I have the guts to try making it myself though! lol Your welcome Cat, you will get your head around making it if you had to, a matter of life or death you will find a way! Which reminds me of Shona Banda I think her name is, Ive read her book on curing herself with RSO that poor girl, you should get a copy, its only a small book but she shows you other ways to get the oil inside you which I cant remember right now but she cured herself against all the odds. My friend uses Isopropanol but you cant get that 100% anymore for that reason!! (crafty gits) so he uses a Steel which was made specially and that purifies the 99% into 100% clean for medicine. I imagine if I had to have it, Id do it. I hope if or when it comes down to that, itll be more readily available to everyone. Ill check out that Shona Banda. I like reading about people whove beaten the odds. I wish I could give you my email address here. I think we have a lot in common. Weve already hit it off pretty well. You would, and you should, I bought my mum a copy too, (my mum is also on the oil) and she could not believe it well worth it. I agree again Cat! yes we have a lot in common, in fact I have spoken more to you than anyone else, which says a lot, I am not a chatty person at all until stuff like this comes up, I have no time for people pushing Gov. lies, WE are all a product of what they have done to us over the years and look at the state we are all in? Its time we put our own health back into our OWN hands. Yes, we do need to be in charge of our own health. The doctors dont care, they arent in it for anything but the money! I think I figured out a way you can reach me. Look for the same nick on Google+. and join my circle. Ill get an email notice then. How much of the Sweet Wormwood and Iron does my friend need to take, and how often? I didnt realise my profile was public! so Ive gone private like you, but it means you cant follow me?! sorry Cat, surely we can swap email addresses somehow. Well, mine was private for a bit because of J, but I changed it back. I dont have anything on here to hide. Your nickname changed? Yes I thought it best what with the info I was posting. and realising nobody else uses their own name, and its also something for the shills to bash me with Understandable. I do the same with my nicks. Safer. Google+ (cat411+) look me up Im already following you. You can follow me now. I changed my privacy settings. why? have I missed something? It was my Google+ nick. I didnt want anyone else to see it. I hope you didnt think I was trying to hit on you yesterday! Im married, for 43 yrs. I just thought itd be interesting to share what I have learned about chemtrails and other conspiracy theorys. OH NO!!! Sorry Cat pmsl DEFINITELY NOT I like men NOT WOmen oh no what made you think that?! I do get woman trying it on, yuck, horses for courses and all but not for me. I am sorry I gave you that impression, Im interested in the same things as you, and offered you to the UK to fix you, nothing else, but I can see why you might have thought that. I should watch what I say.!!! No, it wasnt about your offer to visit! I meant me asking you to contact me thru Google+. You never said anything after I posted it, so I figured you were thinking the wrong things. Sorry, Debbie. Miscommunications! It wasnt anything you said. I mean that I thought you thought I wanted to connect by email for the wrong reasons. Great info, Debbie! I was searching for the patents earlier this morning, I found one, but you found a goldmine! Cant argue with facts! Now if only we can get the persistent contrail to open the link and read!!! I thought so too Cat! but Ill bet the Persistent Contrail has now buggered off let alone even bothered to read it being FACTS and all. Im sure he did bugger off. He cant handle the truth. Hes obviously a government shill. Im always coming across the persistent contrail on AP forums. Ill be locked and loaded the next time I do! The old fart! I spent the better part of the day yesterday researching chemtrails. There is tons of evidence on the net from reliable sources, but Dale and others like him dont really want to see it, they just want to be arseholes. :-/ Thats why I refuse to engage with them unless they are being bullies, they all Demand evidence and expect us not to be smart enough to find any Anyone with a brain could find it, its not that difficult. Besides, they know its true, but theyre paid to say its not, then I think they start believing the lies. Brainwashing. done! Thanks 
1	Star Spurs center Tim Duncan has issued a public apology for his 'unacceptable, inexcusable behavior' last Saturday night following a preseason loss to the Orlando Magic, saying that frustration and disappointment with his low-scoring, six-rebound performance caused 'ten years' worth of unexpressed emotions to burst out of me like like something I don't even know what.' An 'agitated' Duncan responds to reporters' questions in a brusque tone of voice at a slightly elevated volume. No criminal charges, police reports, or even complaints have been filed against Duncan, who was last seen leaving the Alamodome after giving what reporters are terming 'mildly animated' answers to their post-game questions at a 'slightly elevated' volume. 'I simply lost control during my post-game comments, and I did not give the press the full half-hour they are entitled to,' said Duncan, who is on record as calling the Spurs' play during the game 'bad,' 'real bad,' 'awful,' and 'very, very bad indeed' several times over the course of the 28 minutes he spent with reporters. 'Anyone who knows me knows I never use language like that. I can only ask the city of San Antonio to forgive me for my outburst and give me a second chance.' 'I was angry,' Duncan added. 'I even felt mad. I never want to go through that again.' Duncan claims that, after speaking to reporters, he was filled with a level of emotion that caused his memory to become unclear. However, Duncan is fairly certain that he turned away from reporters after insufficiently thanking them for the interview, walked to the parking lot with unusual briskness, and climbed into his car in a blatantly agitated fashion. Witnesses' accounts bear out Duncan's version of events, with several onlookers saying Duncan 'slammed' the door of his 1992 Buick LeSabre closed before driving off. Spurs guard Tony Parker, whose car was near Duncan's, denied rumors that Duncan was muttering grumpily to himself, but said Duncan did exhale audibly twice while getting his car keys out. 'Looking back on it, I think he was sighing in a frustrated or even exasperated manner,' Parker said. 'I thought about saying something, but I didn't know what. I'd never seen him like that. Frankly, I was a little scared.' 'I should not have driven in that condition,' said Duncan, who has implored the children of San Antonio not to emulate his actions or regard them as 'cool.' 'I know better than to operate a motor vehicle while upset or in a highly emotional state of mind, but I did it anyway. I only wish I had exercised the self-restraint to let it go at that.' Traffic cameras tracked Duncan traveling from the Alamodome at up to seven miles per hour over the speed limit, twice driving through yellow lights, to a convenience store near his home, where the store's security cameras show him purchasing highly caffeinated beverages and several unhealthy snacks. A clerk at the store says Duncan consumed three of the soft drinks in his car while listening to barely audible music on his car's radio before driving off several minutes later. Duncan's mid-'90s four-door sedan was found in the parking lot of his nondescript apartment building Sunday morning, having impacted a tree at what insurance company investigators say was an 'extremely low' rate of speed, inflicting almost $140 worth of damage to the car during what they say seems to be an abortive attempt to park while slightly jittery from an excess of mild sugar stimulants. 'I do not wish to discuss that at this time,' Duncan said. 'I'm just glad no one was hurt while I was experimenting with Coke, or Pepsi, or root beer, or whatever it was. I just remember going into my apartment, turning on the television, unblocking Showtime, and calling up a few girls from church to say 'hello' and 'how are you doing.' Frankly I'm mortified, and in light of my actions, I wouldn't blame them for being cross with me in return. I was brought up to respect women, not to place telephone calls to them at what might possibly be well past their bedtimes.' Duncan recalls nothing else until 9:30 the next morning, when he woke up two hours late, unshaven, and dressed in unusually brightly colored clothing. Duncan immediately contacted the police, and was relieved to find he had in fact broken no laws. Duncan has assigned himself 120 hours of community service working in hospitals, neighborhood improvement projects, and on highway-beautification crews for his 'reckless endangerment' of the people of San Antonio. 'I promise you,' the dry-eyed Duncan said in an unusually well-modulated voice, 'you will never see anything like that from me again.' 
3	Your Curiosity Fix is Enhancing Your Memory and IntellectHeather Callaghan Curiosity may put the brain in a state that allows it to learn and retain any kind of information like a vortex that sucks in what you are motivated to learn, and also everything around it, explains Dr. Matthias Gruber. Take a look at the current lackluster educational systems in place and it becomes clear the more curious we would be about a topic, the easier it is to soak up information about it. Ask anyone who took four years of Spanish and remembers none of it then talk to that person after he travels and immerses himself in the language what happens? What happens when you are motivated to investigate something deeper? New research publishing online October 2 in the Cell Press journal Neuron provides insights into what happens in our brains when curiosity is piqued. Scientists think they have found ways to enhance overall learning and memory in both healthy people and those with neurological conditions. Lead author Dr. Gruber, of University of California at Davis said: For the study, participants rated their curiosity to learn the answers to a series of trivia questions. When they were later presented with a selected trivia question, there was a 14 second delay before the answer was provided, during which time the participants were shown a picture of a neutral, unrelated face. Afterwards, participants performed a surprise recognition memory test for the faces that were presented, followed by a memory test for the answers to the trivia questions. During certain parts of the study, participants had their brains scanned via functional magnetic resonance imaging. The study revealed three major findings. Gruber says: This reward circuit relies on dopamine, a chemical messenger that relays messages between neurons. (In other words, curiosity is kind of drug-like, but in a good way.) principal investigator Dr. Charan Ranganath said: The brain circuits that rely on dopamine tend to decline in function as people get older, or sooner in people with neurological conditions. The dysfunction of dopamine uptake is associated with ADHD symptomology and some mood disorders. On a side note, these problems are at least in part caused and definitely exacerbated by nutritional deficiencies and chemicals/toxins that affect neurological development. But understanding the relationship between motivation and memory could stimulate new efforts to improve memory in the healthy elderly and for new approaches for helping people with memory disorders. They anticipate that for the classroom or workplace learning what might be considered boring material could be enhanced if teachers or managers are able to harness the power of students and workers curiosity about something they are naturally motivated to learn. Beyond that what has the curiosity fix done for you, lately? Source: Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist.

3	Roger Ver Offers Bernie Sanders $100K to Debate Adam Kokesh: Socialism VS VoluntaryismBy Adam Kokesh I welcome the display of courage by Mr. Ver, I hope to live long enough to witness this debate. I feel that We the US need to learn, understand and personally enforce the real concepts of a citizens duty, the right to know and to become individually empowered without the unpatriotic death of another anywhere, anytime. My tax dollars should be helping others to pursue life, freedom and happiness. Politicians are obsolete in an age where everyone can represent themselves via existing technology just like a bitcoin, I can be identified and participate.. Interesting but the 1% did not get that way by caring about anyone other than themselves. I would still like to hear the debate and I agree about the tax revolt. Its really the only way you can get any real attention. Of course that attention is likely to be in the form of jackbooted thugs who will storm your property and take all of your stuff while killing you as you resist. Impressive speech. I like the ideas and I hope there are many other very wealthy people who support these ideas instead of those of the typical 1% elites. Thanks for posting this video! Its very important for people to understand these things. I will just note that while taxes are often used for evil purposes, this internet is a result of taxes used to develop it. Many who claim government never can do anything right use the government created internet (and then handed over to the private sector to create tens of millions of new jobs and tens of trillions in new wealth) to spread the anti-government message. When reminded of this, I always get a profound silence. The enemy is not government nor taxes but the perversion of legitimate government (based, per the D of I on equality and consent and inviolable rights); the cure is not to eliminate government but to make it democratic, serving the people. The enemy is not government but those who have hijacked it for special interests. The best way to spread the message of voluntarism is to elect the only candidate who is not corrupted and speaks for the people. Bernie Sanders is the choice of the new generation who will be most open to new ideas. Join us to promote a revolution in our politics and our thinking.

It is easy to see why disease rates are skyrocketing in many developed countries, where nutrition is not held in very high regard. Amazingly, the United States also spends more on healthcare than any nation in the world. Despite spending $7,960 per capita, the United States has been ranked dead last when it comes to the quality of care. The fact of the matter is that when food intake is ignored along with the subsequent toxic ingredients that go along with the processed food addiction disease will arise. North Carolina, United States This family from North Carolina eats a diet almost entirely of processed and pre-prepared foods with heavy amounts of junk and fast food. Consuming mostly sugar-laden fruit drinks and mega-sized sodas from Burger King and McDonalds, this average American diet will ultimately lead to chronic disease and rampant sickness. Some favorite foods include pizza and fast food. Explore More: This article first appeared at Natural Society, an excellent resource for health news and vaccine information. 
3	US, Saudis, Qatar Attempt Arab Spring Retread in SudanProtests are smokescreen for unfolding US-Saudi-Qatari backed violence seeking regime change in Sudan. The Associated Press reveals that recent and ongoing Arab Spring-style unrest in Sudans capital of Khartoum is led by Sudans Western-backed opposition, the National Umma Party, and the various faux-NGOs and independent media organizations created by the West to prop it up. This reveals yet another Western-engineered uprising designed for regime change in favor of a new, Western friendly client regime. The AP article, Sudanese protesters demand the regimes ouster, first claims: selfnewss acknowledge they have no unified leadership or support from political parties but express hope the spontaneous nature of the current round of protests means theyre gaining momentum. However, AP then admits [emphasis added]: One of Sudans most prominent opposition leaders, Sadiq al-Mahdi of the National Umma Party, told worshippers at a mosque in the district of Omdurman that al-Bashir has been spending the states budget on consolidating power and failed to lift the agony off the citizens shoulders. After the sermon, protesters marched through the district, a longtime opposition stronghold, chanting the people want the downfall of the regime, the slogan heard in Arab Spring uprisings that began in late 2010 and have led to the ouster of the leaders in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen. Angry protesters torched police and dozens of gas stations and government buildings, and students marched chanting for al-Bashirs ouster. AP, perhaps hoping readers would not bother researching the matter further, also quotes local blogger and journalist Reem Shawka to bolster their narrative. Shawka is a columnist at Sudans 500 Words Magazine. While 500 Words maintains that it is a Sudanese independent online magazine, it proudly advertises in the right column of its website an upcoming US Institute of Peace Sudanese and South Sudanese Youth Leaders Program. Like Thailands deceitful US-funded propaganda front Prachatai, 500 Words is most likely directly funded by the US government, and is most certainly in tune with the US State Departments agenda and talking points regarding Sudan. Image: Sudans independent online magazine, 500 Words proudly advertises for the US Institute of Peace on its website (right-hand side), exposing the predictable ties between its support for Western-backed opposition inside of Sudan and the US State Department through the National Endowment for Democracy and others, who most likely funds the online propaganda front. Indeed 500 Words editor-in-chief, Moez Ali, has his own page on Open Democracy funded by convicted criminal George Soros Open Society Institute, the Oak Foundation, the Sigrid Rausing Trust, TIDES, and many others. It should be mentioned that the US Institute of Peace advertised for on 500 Words has played an instrumental role in the Western-engineered Arab Spring, where it literally crafts the constitutions and structure of proxy regimes the West plans to create once targeted nations have been overthrown. Who is Opposition Leader Sadiq al-Mahdi? Sadiq al-Mahdi, leader of Sudans National Umma Party, is a member of the EU-US-Saudi-Qatari run Arab Democracy Foundation and the Club de Madrid which features former US President Bill Clinton as a full member amongst many others, and is backed by Wall Street and Londons myriad of international institutions and foundations including the World Bank, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Ford Foundation, Walmart, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Microsoft, and many others. Al-Mahdi himself was Oxford educated, according to his official Club de Madrid biography, which also states [emphasis added]: Al-Mahdi was elected president of the Umma party in November 1964, and led a campaign to promote political activity, develop political Islam, and reform the party by expanding its base and promoting democracy behavior. Despite his efforts towards a democratic government, there was another coup dtat in 1969 that led to a dictatorship referred to as the May Regime. He was soon arrested by the military government, exiled to Egypt, and detained in Sudanese prisons repeatedly until 1974. Later that year, he traveled abroad and toured Arab and African Capitals where he delivered a number of lectures. While in exile, he formed the National Democratic Front (NDF), comprised of Umma, the Democratic Unionist Party, and the Muslim Brotherhood. Through his efforts, the NDF was able to make an accord of national reconciliation in 1977 with the May Regime that mandated democratic reform. His direct association with the Muslim Brotherhood is important, as this is the organization that as far back as 2007, under then US President George Bush, began receiving US-Saudi-Israeli support to prepare the violent overthrow of several nations, including in particular, Syria. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh in his 2007 New Yorker article, The Redireciton: Is the Administrations new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism? would reveal US-Saudi-Israeli support behind funding and arming the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria: the Saudi government, with Washingtons approval, would provide funds and logistical aid to weaken the government of President Bashir Assad, of Syria. The Israelis believe that putting such pressure on the Assad government will make it more conciliatory and open to negotiations. Hersh also reported that a supporter of the Lebanese pro-US-Saudi Hariri faction had met Dick Cheney in Washington and relayed personally the importance of using the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria in any move against the ruling government: [Walid] 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. The article would continue by explaining how already in 2007 US and Saudi backing had begun benefiting the Brotherhood: There is evidence that the Administrations redirection strategy has already benefitted the Brotherhood. The Syrian National Salvation Front is a coalition of opposition groups whose principal members are a faction led by Abdul Halim Khaddam, a former Syrian Vice-President who defected in 2005, and the Brotherhood. A former high-ranking C.I.A. officer told me, The Americans have provided both political and financial support. The Saudis are taking the lead with financial support, but there is American involvement. He said that Khaddam, who now lives in Paris, was getting money from Saudi Arabia, with the knowledge of the White House. (In 2005, a delegation of the Fronts members met with officials from the National Security Council, according to press reports.) A former White House official told me that the Saudis had provided members of the Front with travel documents. That al-Mahdi, whose coalition included the Muslim Brotherhood thats played an instrumental role executing recent Western designs in Syria and Egypt, and whose uprising and calls for faux-reform is echoed by the likes of Sudanese extremist leader Hassan al-Turabi (who had in fact invited Osama Bin Laden to Sudan), is now leading protesters through the streets of Sudans capital, torching infrastructure, government buildings, and police stations (just as was done across Egypt and Syria), indicates another attempt by the West to overthrow the Sudanese government via proxy militancy. That the West has once again coincidentally arrayed its vast resources behind al-Mahdis revolution, which includes Al Qaeda-linked leaders like al-Turabi, once again illustrates that so-called Islamic extremism is a geopolitical tool both created and intentionally perpetuated by the West, both as a pretext for direct military invasion and occupation (Mali, Afghanistan) and as an inexhaustible proxy mercenary force for overthrowing targeted nations (Libya, Egypt, Syria). What to Watch For Sudan shares borders with NATO-overthrown Libya, destabilized Egypt, and US military proxy Ethiopia. It is also across the Red Sea from Saudi Arabia itself. Both Libya and Egypt have sizable US-Saudi-Israeli-Qatari-backed terrorist organizations and their affiliated political arms the Muslim Brotherhood being the most prominent. Sudan is a potential tinderbox made more volatile in recent years due to the Muslim Brotherhoods US-Saudi-Qatari-Israeli enabled rise, along with the Western-backed terrorist organizations, including Al Qaeda, that form its armed factions. The Wests interest in Sudan is not causal or spontaneous. It was listed as one of several nations the US had intended to violently overthrow and subjugate as a client regime since at least 2001, revealed in a speech given by US Army General Wesley Clark in 2007. With a recent terrorist attack by US armed and backed Al Qaeda in Nairobi Kenya threatening to justify new joint African Union-US AFRICOM incursions into Somalia, and destabilizations ongoing in both Egypt and to a much greater extent in Syria, the words of General Wesley Clark are both prophetic and indicative of the true nature of both the so-called Arab Spring and the attempted violent regime changes being organized behind the smokescreen of pro-democracy protesters. While Sudan may not seem to have significance to most across the West, the geopolitical implications of an entire region from Mali to Pakistan under Western destabilization directly impacts oil, logistics, and stability across the globe. Nations like China which relies on African and Middle Eastern trade, are directly impacted by US attempts to destabilize and overthrow Sudan and is in fact one of the driving motivations of the Wests so-called Arab Spring. Following the Arab Spring playbook, we should expect attempts to justify the increased militarization of the so-called opposition, who will at first be portrayed as pro-democracy moderates forced to defend themselves, but will be fully revealed as Al Qaeda as full-scale proxy military operations get underway. The only way to avert a destructive military conflict is for the Sudanese government to swiftly and severely crush the opposition and secure the borders where NATO-backed militants and their equipment are most likely to flow. Sudans government must also make real attempts at reform, while exposing the foreign-backed nature of opposition leaders trying to divide and destroy the nation. By breaking the predictable evil dictator mold Sudans leadership has been cast in by the Western media, it, and other nations targeted by Western regime change can even the odds leveled against them by the still formidable Western press and their partners in propaganda across Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Israel. Unprecedented amounts of resources have been committed to the geopolitical reordering of North Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia. It would be a considerable mistake for any nation overtly listed by the US as pending regime change to underestimate any beginnings of unrest clearly backed by foreign interests. While some operations may be testing the waters, the final push can come at any time with fully militarized proxies pre-positioned and prepared to sow the same genocidal destruction US-backed terrorists in Syria are carrying out.

1	Citing the hot weather and a desire to go home for the day, FDA officials approved American Products Limited's 'X-Ray Vision Pills' for commercial sale in the U.S. Monday. 'After evaluating this and regulating that for months, we were really dying to cut out early, so we were all just like, 'Fuck it. Let's just approve this,'' FDA deputy commissioner Lester Crawford said. 'Besides, nobody could think of a real good reason why X-ray-vision pills would be unsafe.' 
1	Following nine months of surgeries and physical therapy to heal the aquatic animals debilitating injuries, officials from the Marine Mammal Center released a fully rehabilitated sea otter back into the food chain Tuesday. After many tireless days and nights spent helping rebuild his strength, were excited to get this little guy back into a tiered ecological feeding structure, said marine biologist Shannon Murphy, confirming that, at approximately 10 a.m., the otter was removed from its cage and carefully reintroduced into the hierarchy of predation. Its always sad to say goodbye to an animal weve spent so much time caring for, but thats ultimately why were hereto give these creatures a second chance at briefly occupying a middle rung in a progression of consumption where they serve as a primary food source for a higher organism. At press time, a crowd of onlookers was waving to the otter as it swam off into the migration routes of sea lions, orca whales, and several species of shark. 
3	Where Does Your Info Come From? Mainstream Media Now Literally Using Robots to Write NewsBy Claire Bernish Using artificial intelligence technology, the Washington Post is employing software to write hundreds of news briefs highlighting key information about the Olympic Games in Rio in real-time. Heliograf, which was developed in-house, automatically generates short, multi-sentence updates for readers, the Post proudly announced Friday, as if the news organization couldnt predict the collective American jaw-drop at the notion a computer could simply replace a longstanding tradition of actual journalism. Automated storytelling has the potential to transform the Posts coverage, explained Jeremy Gilbert, director of strategic initiatives at the Washington Post, in what could easily be deemed the understatement of the year. More stories, powered by data and machine learning, will lead to a dramatically more personal and customized news experience. The Olympics are the perfect way to prove the potential of this technology. In 2014, the sports staff spent countless hours manually publishing event results. Heliograf will free up Post reporters and editors to add analysis, color from the scene and real insight to stories in ways only they can. In other words, for the time being the Posts robot writer will be held to reporting grunt work for the Olympics, Heliograf will essentially regurgitate medal counts, scores, daily event schedules, and similarly non-complex topics by writing the most basic of narrative briefs. In that context, robot writers might not be an affront to the tradition of hard-hitting journalism but the Posts plans for Heliograf dont end with simple sports statistics and basic sentences. Post engineers plan to develop the technology far beyond its current manifestation as statistician Heliograf will cover the 2016 presidential election and other large-scale news events down the road. As the Post reports: This technology will also be able to process a combination of different data sources, like crime and real estate numbers, customize stories depending on individual user actions, and help look for anomalies in data to alert journalists to a potential story. To many, thats where the Posts ultimate intentions for its robot writer begins to toe the line. Once such technology performs more complex analyses, will the outlets engineers then attempt creativity with longer sentences, articles, and advanced language structure? Launching Heliograf is the next step for The Posts use of machine learning, said Sam Han, data science engineering director for the Post. The next challenge is to broaden the subjects covered, deepen the kind of analysis possible and identify potential stories for our newsroom. Although it doesnt appear the Washington Post will be replacing its human journalists with robot imposters anytime in the near future, the technology certainly leaves the prospect an open question further down the line. With an increasing segment of the public already concerned by the concentration of corporate ownership of the nations media sources as of four years ago, just six corporations owned 90 percent of all radio, television, and cable news outlets in the country bringing a robot into the picture likely wont quell those anxieties. On Sunday, John Oliver made light of the continued dumbing down of the news, for which he noted journalists increasingly beholden to cover topics dictated by their outlets owners whose need to generate revenue depends purely on public whim. As subjects of grave import go largely ignored by the media behemoths in favor of human interest stories and lighter topics, one wonders if Heliograf might be writing about cats and food in the future as journalists are forced to wait tables to get by. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. well, its not like the alleged reporters were actually doing any real reporting.. just regurgitating canned fake news and propaganda anyway! This is part of a larger plan to obsolete humans all together and replace them with robots. Once this is further along, the global robot armies will be released to wipe out virtually all of humanity. Why do you think they have autonomous killer drones? This is just the beginning! They want a post human world to use one of their favorite phrases. No surprises there. Jeff Bezos did the same thing with Amazon.com. Not only were 70% of all book stores in America terminated in the first 5 years, Amazon.coms employees, if not living overseas or robots. Jeff wouldnt have it any other way. However, this trend is not limited to media. Every day, I get email communications from corporations, including the US Post Office, that were clearly created and sent by Robots. This is another reason the US Government instituted Common Core and dumbed down Americans to the point they no longer read or write in the English language with proficiency. So, why? Why does this suit these Elitists who despise their fellows? That is the really interesting part of this story. Eventually it would come down to verification of who wrote a story because no one wats to read sensless garbage from robots. 
2	Trey Gowdy Will Stop At Nothing To Take Hillary Down For Her Crimes, But He Needs Your Support Now More Than Ever According to rent reports, House Benghazi Chairman Trey Gowdy confronted Democrats for trying to dismiss the committees report as being about presidential candidate Hillary Clinton rather than a true investigation of the facts surrounding the September 11, 2012 attacks. On MSNBCs Morning Joe on Tuesday, Gowdy commented on the committees ranking Democrat, Rep. Elijah Cummings and others from his party on the committee. They will be shocked when they read the report, if they do bother to read the report, Gowdy argued. It is a series of heroic acts by our fellow Americans, and what we can do to prevent the next. Yes, Hillary Clinton was the Secretary of State at the time, he continued. I cant get around that fact. But the focus of this report is on exactly what the families asked us to focus on, and shame on the Democrats for figuring that out two years late. We mention Secretary Clintons name less times than the Democrats do, despite the fact our report is twice as long, Gowdy insisted. Rep. Mike Pompen, who also served on the Benghazi committee, chimed in as well. He argued that it is not just that his Democrat colleagues are ill-informed, but that they actively tried to avoid the work members were charged to do. We have been obstructed every step along the wayincluding by the very Democrats today that are calling us political, Pompen argued. Go read the transcripts. Look who called the witnesses. Go look who asked the questions. This is not the first congressional inquiry in the history of America. I dare you to go find another congressional inquiry where one party behaved in a way that was deeply obstructive of getting the American people the facts they needed. Throughout the interview, host Joe Scarborough compared the Benghazi military response to President Jimmy Carters failed attempt to rescue American hostages in Iran in 1980. Gowdy agreed that tragic decisions were made throughout the crisis, but the biggest indicator of the Obama administrations true response comes from a meeting held at the White House with Clinton and deputies to top cabinet members, three hours after the attack began. That was when the decision was made not to go to Benghazi [with military assets], but to go to Tripoli. That is when all the concern was expressed about hurting the Libyans feelings by showing up in uniform, Gowdy argued. In fact, Gowdy believes that half of the action items that came out of the White House meeting had to do with an anti-Islam internet video, which Clinton and other officials later blamed as the cause of Benghazi. What do you think? Are you ready to hear the truth from Hillary? 
3	Recovery for the 7 PercentPaul Craig Roberts Since the recession was officially declared to be over in June 2009, I have assured readers that there has been no recovery. Gerald Celente, John Williams (shadowstats.com), and no doubt others have also made it clear that the alleged recovery is an artifact of an understated inflation rate that produces an image of real economic growth. Now comes the Pew Research Center with its conclusion that the recession ended only for the top 7 percent of households that have substantial holdings of stocks and bonds. The other 93% of the American population is still in recession. (Source) The Pew report attributes the recovery for the affluent to the rise in the stock and bond markets, but does not say what caused these markets to rise. The stock markets recovery does not reflect rising consumer purchasing power and retail sales. The labor force is shrinking, not growing. Job growth lags population growth, and the few jobs that are created are primarily dead-end jobs in lowly paid domestic services. Retail sales adjusted for inflation and real median household income have been bottom bouncing since 2009. To the extent that there is profit growth in US corporations, it comes from labor cost savings from offshoring US jobs and from bringing in foreign workers on work visas. By lowering labor costs, corporations boost profits and thereby capital gains for those 7 percent who have large holdings of financial assets. Those in the 93 percent who are displaced by foreign workers experience income reductions. This transfer of the incomes of the 93 percent to the 7 percent via jobs offshoring and work visas is the reason for the stark rise in US income inequality. The reason bond prices are so high that real interest rates are negative is that the Fed is purchasing $1,000 billion of mortgage-backed securities and US Treasury debt annually. The lower the Fed forces interest rates, the higher go bond prices. If you are among the 7 percent, the Fed has produced capital gains for your bond portfolio. But if you are a saver among the 93 percent, you are losing purchasing power because the interest you receive is less than the rate of inflation. The Pew report puts it this way: Since the recovery that began in June 2009, wealthy households experienced a 28 percent rise in their net worth, while everyone else lost 4 percent of their assets. Is this the profile of a democracy in which government serves the public interest, or is it the profile of a financial aristocracy that uses government to grind the population under foot? This article first appeared at Paul Craig Roberts new website Institute For Political Economy. Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy and associate editor of the Wall Street Journal. He was columnist for Business Week, Scripps Howard News Service, and Creators Syndicate. He has had many university appointments. His Internet columns have attracted a worldwide following.

2	Obama Announces New Rules That Will Put American Gun Owners In Jail For THIS Its no secret that Obama has been on a mission to destroy the second amendment and eliminate guns in America. Now, his state department is proposing new restrictions that would make it illegal for gun owners to discuss guns and ammo on the internet without explicit federal permission. For the average America, that would mean undergoing the cumbersome and time-consuming process of obtaining the proper authorizations. Any individual caught violating the rule could be fined up to $1 million, and could be facing a prison sentence of up to 20 years. This latest regulatory assaultis as much an affront to the First Amendment as it is to the Second, the NRA claimed, adding that the measure is essentially a gag order on firearm-related speech. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous? 
1	In a 45-minute video posted on Tibetan websites Thursday, Tsuglag Rinpoche, leader of the Buddhist extremist group Kammahna, threatened to soon inflict a wave of peace and tranquility on the West. Speaking in front of a nondescript altar surrounded by candles, burning sticks of incense, and a small golden statue of the Buddha, Rinpoche did not specify when or where an assault of profound inner stillness would occur, but stated in no uncertain terms that the fundamentalist Buddhist cell plans to target all Western suffering. In the name of the Great Teacher, we will stop at nothing to unleash a firestorm of empathy, compassion, and true selflessness upon the West, said Rinpoche, adding that all enemies of a freely flowing, unfettered state of mind will be besieged with pure, everlasting happiness. No city will be spared from spiritual harmony. We will bring about the end to all Western pain and anxiety, to all destructive cravings, to all greed, delusion, and misplaced desire. Indeed, we will bring the entire United States to its knees in deep meditation. Wisdom and virtue to America! continued Rinpoche. Wisdom and virtue to all living things on earth! According to reports, Rinpoche stressed throughout his address that Kammahna soldiers would continue waging a tireless holy war on Western feelings of emptiness and negativity for as long as necessary, noting that a jug fills drop by drop and that it is better to travel well than to arrive. The extremist leader specifically criticized the United States for its blatant disregard of karmic balance within the universe and ominously claimed that Americans will one day soon experience the highest form of metaphysical equilibrium through a union of both body and mind. Rinpoche also said all Western nations would pay a heavy price in negative thinking and self-doubt if they do not immediately engage in serious introspection and true spiritual liberation. Sources confirmed the video then featured an uninterrupted 19-minute clip of water quietly flowing between rocks in a small forest creek. Kammahna's video ABOVE: Watch a short clip from the Kammahna's 45-minute video. From New York City to London, Madrid, and Paris, we will not cease until every major metropolis is left in a state of total nirvana, said Rinpoche, brandishing a pink lotus flower before claiming that Kammahna will seize any opportunity to aggressively instill a deep-seated sense of oneness in all Westerners. We offered the unenlightened governments of America and Europe a chance to embrace the Eightfold Path, but you have refused. Now, we have no choice but to impose a peaceful spiritual reawakening upon you. And if you think even for a moment that we will ever relent, remember this: Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened, Rinpoche added. You have been warned. Kammahna, a radical Mahyna Buddhism movement, was founded in Nepal in the late 1970s with the explicit mission to spread a fundamentalist interpretation of the Four Noble Truths to all nonbelievers. According to experts, the multinational organization operates somewhere in a remote region of the Himalayas, though the current whereabouts of Rinpoche and Kammahnas other high-ranking members are reportedly unknown. Kammahna first came to international prominence in 1997, when five of its members boarded a New York City subway car and held 42 hostages in a state of transcendent serenity for seven hours while performing atonal syllabic chants. The group then claimed responsibility for a severe 2004 outbreak of interconnectedness in central London, later traced to a 23-year-old Kammahna sleeper cell operative who sat cross-legged in Trafalgar Square and read aloud from The Gateless Gate collection of 13th-century Zen koans. Kammahna claims to gain thousands of newly reincarnated followers each day and is reportedly known to recruit many young Buddhists from around the world, training them in tranquil insurgency tactics at covert monasteries across Eastern Asia. I want to assure all Americans that we are fully aware of these threats from Kammahna, and they will not be taken lightly, acting Secretary of Homeland Security Rand Beers said at a press conference shortly after Rinpoches video surfaced, adding that several U.S. cities have been placed on high alert and authorities are watching closely for any suspicious peaceful activity in densely populated areas. We do believe that Kammahna currently possesses the means to inflict widespread balance in the collective subconscious of an American city. However, we are doing absolutely everything in our power to prevent that from happening. The danger of total enlightenment is very real, Beers added. And we must be prepared. At press time, sources confirmed that President Obama has authorized a preemptive strike on Kammahna and deployed a fleet of predator drones to bomb Tibet. 
2	Woman Who Was Sexually Assaulted By Bill Clinton May Actually Put A Stop To Hillarys Campaign With THIS According to reports, former volunteer aide to Bill Clinton Kathleen Willey has just launched a new website called A Scandal A Day. The website is dedicated to Hillary Clinton, and will detail her scandals in simple terms so most people can understand whats going on. Willey alleges that she was sexually assaulted by Bill during his tenure as president, and she definitely has it out for the family. The Clintons have made it extremely easy for me, Willey argued. I dont have to do a lot of research because its not just a scandal a day. Its about two or three scandals a day. In addition to detailing scandals, Willey is included a section that is designed to reach any one who is being harassed, stalked, intimidated, or persecuted by a person in position of power or public trust. The section is designed to encourage anyone to come forward, especially if they were assaulted or abused by one of the Clintons. Willey also went on to claim that many women are scared to death of Hillary Clinton. What do you think of the site? Does Hillary not stand a chance in the run for president? 
2	State Requires Welfare Recipients To Work North Carolina just became the most recent state to take actions to combat welfare fraud, introducing a bill in 23 counties that will only grant able-bodied recipients benefits if they work. For adults who are currently receiving support from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that means that they must work, train, or volunteer at least 20 hours per week to continue receiving government support. SNAP was instituted in 2008 during the Great Recession, at a time when work opportunities were limited. Now, around half of the adults who receive the benefits live in the 23 counties selected. That means the bill will affect around 59,000 people. Recipients will have 90 days after the new rule takes effect today to get a job and find work opportunities. Sherry Bradsher, Deputy Secretary of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, claims that 80 percent of recipients already have jobs. But for the 20 percent who dont, this bill has major implications. Most of these counties have some infrastructure in place to support these individuals, Bradsher argued. Supporters of the new rule are hopeful that it will inspire recipients to get jobs and cut off dependency on government handouts. What do you think? Do you support this measure? 
3	The Sovereign Debt Bubble Will Continue To Expand Until BANG The System ImplodesMichael Snyder, Contributor We have heard a lot about austerity over in Europe in recent years, but debt to GDP ratios continue to rise in Greece, Spain, Italy, Ireland and Portugal. In general, most economists consider a debt to GDP ratio of 100% to be a danger level, and most of the economies of the Western world have either already surpassed that level or are rapidly approaching. Of course the biggest debt offender of all in many ways is the United States. The U.S. debt to GDP ratio has risen from 66.6 percent to 103 percent since 2007, and the U.S. government accumulated more new debt during Barack Obamas first term than it did under the first 42 U.S. presidents combined. This insane sovereign debt bubble will continue to expand until a day of reckoning arrives and the system implodes. Nobody knows exactly when that moment will be reached, but without a doubt it is coming. But if you listen to the mainstream media in the United States, you would be tempted to think that this giant bubble of debt is not much of a concern at all. For example, in a recent article in the Washington Post entitled The case for deficit optimism, Ezra Klein wrote the following Heres a secret: For all the sound and fury, Washingtons actually making real progress on debt. About a decade ago, government officials were projecting that we would be swimming in gigantic government surpluses by now. Instead, we are running trillion dollar deficits. But right now there is a lot of optimism about the economy. The stock market recently hit a 5 year high and the business community is loving all of the false prosperity that all of this debt is buying us. It is not a good thing to have it going up in relation to GDP. That should be stabilized. But the debt itself is not a problem. Oh really? A debt of 16 trillion dollars is not a problem? Perhaps we should all run our finances that way. Why dont we all go out and open up 20 different credit cards, run them all up to the max, and then tell the credit card companies that we cant pay them back but that it is not a problem. The truth is that government debt is becoming a monstrous problem all over the globe. Just check out how debt to GDP ratios all over the planet have grownover the past five years United States United Kingdom France Germany Spain Ireland Portugal Italy Greece The Eurozone As A Whole Japan So how does all of this end? Well, it is going to be messy, but it is very difficult to say exactly when the system will collapse under the weight of too much debt. Some nations, such as Japan, are able to handle very high debt loads because they have a very high level of domestic saving. Up to this point, an astounding 95percent of all Japanese government bonds have been purchased domestically. But other nations collapse under the weight of government debt even before they reach a debt to GDP ratio of 100%. The following is an excerpt from a recent Congressional Research Service report It is hard to predict at what point bond holders would deem it to be unsustainable. A few other advanced economies have debt-to-GDP ratios higher than that of the United States. Some of those countries in Europe have recently seen their financing costs rise to the point that they are unable to finance their deficits solely through private markets. But Japan has the highest debt-to-GDP ratio of any advanced economy, and it has continued to be able to finance its debt at extremely low costs. When a government runs up massive amounts of debt, it is playing with fire. You can pile up mountains of government debt for a while, but eventually it catches up with you. Over the past 10 years, the U.S. national debt has grown by an average of 9.3 percent per year, but the overall U.S. economy has only grown by an average of just 1.8 percent per year. That is unsustainable by definition. There is going to be a tremendous price to pay for the debt binge that the U.S. government has indulged in over the past decade. During Barack Obamas first term, the amount of new debt accumulated by the federal government breaks down to about $50,521 for every single household in the United States. That is utter insanity. If you can believe it, we have accumulated more new government debt under Obama than we did from the inauguration of George Washington to the end of the Clinton administration. And most Americans realize that something is seriously wrong. One recent poll found that only 34 percent of all Americans believe that the country is heading in the right direction, and 60 percent of all Americans believe that the country is heading in the wrong direction. If we keep piling up so much debt, at some point a moment of great crisis will arrive. When that moment arrives, we could see havoc throughout the entire global financial system. For instance, most people dont really understand the key role that U.S. Treasuries play in the derivatives market. The following is from a recent article posted on Zero Hedge This time around, things will be far worse if nothing is solved. If the US loses another AAA rating, then the financial markets could face systemic risk. The reason for this is that US Treasuries are one of the senior most forms of collateral used by the banks to backstop the $600+ trillion derivatives market. As any trader who trades on margin can tell you, when the value of your collateral is called into question, those on the other side of the trade come looking for you to put up more capital on your trades. This can result in assets being sold en masse (similar to what happened after Lehman failed) and things can get very ugly very fast. Once again, nobody knows exactly when the sovereign debt bubble will burst, but if we continue down the path that we are currently on, it will inevitably happen at some point. And according to Professor Carmen Reinhart, when this bubble does burst things could unravel very rapidly These processes are not linear, warns Prof. Reinhart. You can increase debt for a while and nothing happens. Then you hit the wall, andbang!what seem to be minor shocks that the markets would shrug off in other circumstances suddenly become big. At some point the global financial system will hit the wall that Professor Reinhart has warned about. Are you ready? This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

3	Democratic National Convention in Philly Is Not What Were Told About in the MediaBy Catherine J. Frompovich There are protests all over the city! Furthermore, the DNC is a bust, as almost half of the convention goers walked out of the convention after being threatened, according to reports from those who witnessed it. Need I say any more, because the videos below will prove to you whats going on in Philly, which the controlled media wont allow you either to see or to know? The Democratic Party has forsaken the principles upon which our Founding Fathers pledged their lives and loyalty only a couple of miles away at Independence Hall in colonial Philadelphia and the United States of America was founded and built. What do you think? Is that democracy in action, or is it indicative of a police state gearing up for their finest hours yet to come IF Hillary gets elected in November? You, the voter, have to be the judge when you pull that voting booth lever because Hillary IS above the law of the land, according to the in-crowd, one world controller globalists, which she apparently caters to. We cant afford four more years of what weve had for the last eight years; can we? The woman being interviewed speaks her mind and vents her spleen in rather salty language, but once she settles down, she lets it rip with what many people just may be thinking. See what you think. Heres another viewpoint and report directly from the convention floor via an independent alt media reporter who is in absolute shock at how the convention delegates walked out and the media did not report it. God bless the United States of America in its un-finest of political hours!We need leadership, not a criminal being nominated for the office of President of the United States of America.

There was bad music playing for their party. This is an amazing time. This whole election thing isnt going well. Yea they do, Stealing it from Trump, if that fails Martial Law is a possibility. It really comes down to costs of whatever fall back plan vs. opportunity cost of the policies Trump would rebuke. If the fall back plan is causes less economic mayhem for the trans-national capitalist class they will proceed. Well you see Mame, we dont have a democracy!!!!!! We have a Republic, where the elected officials represent the men and women of America. Hillary prefers an oligarchy. A pathocracy, rule of a pathogenic psychopath. Wake the heck up, would you!!!!!!? There are a few issues with your statement: We are SUPPOSED to have a Republic and, as some guy said :), only if we could keep it, that went bye-bye 150 YEARS ago and you still have not been informed? Our elected officials are SUPPOSED to represent the men and women of America, but the war of 1812 took care of that and, even if it did not, the reality that we are ruled by $$s means that the services of the so-called elected officials are FOR SALE to the highest bidder and at our expense Did that dot the ii-s and cross the tt-s for you? The fix was in with the conjobstitution. It was an act of treason. The war of 1812 was not the start. The Jay Treaty of 1794 paid the British Crown reparations, so the criminal elite who tossed the Articles of Confederation could continue doing business as usual. Ahhhh grasshopper you have much to learn!!! We are being run by a federal corporation. I am not a part of that corporation since I am not a corporation. Are you the same as Home Depot a person? A republic is intended to prevent democracy. thats why the traitors who overthrew the original United States created a republic. In the US, the people are supposedly represented by a single congressional representative for their congressional district. If an issue is divided 50/50, how is the representative supposed to vote? Only somebody who cant figure out that a republic is nothing like democratic, unless the populace was to vote (simple majority, not by state) before any legislation were to be enacted. You are joking about the 50/50 thingy right????!!!! No, thats what it comes down to. The representative has three choices. Vote for the bill half the people are opposed to, vote against the bill half the people are in favor of, or vote present and basically disenfranchise the entire electorate. where the elected official That Ended With The Corrupt Easily Hackable Electronic Voting Machines. The corporation can do anything it wants with their corporate voting machines and clearly it does. When ya vote you are voting for a new board of directors not a government. Clearly Democracy in action ! Dont call anything in the US system democracy, its an oligarchy, studies have confirmed this without question. Its not the public will, we have zero influence over policy. That is true. Than, take the word DEMOCRACY in quotes . Is Democracy not an irony in itself ? Wiki : Greek cities set up democracies, most following the Athenian model, but none are as well documented as Athens. HillBillary and the horndog hubby what scum. above the rule of law means there is no law. They have been selecting audiences for televised speaking events for some time. They cant afford the truth to be exposed to the masses or the control breaks down so they make sure its all scripted, just like their daily news that are really more political pr stations and propaganda outlets. The genie is escaping the bottle and now even the most naive are seeing whats really going on and it scares them that the so called conspiracy theorists were not so crazy after all. Once their grip starts to fail at this level it keeps slipping until their hold and control are broken. AS A WARNING I CAN TELL HOW THEY WILL RESPOND SO BE READY. Once lies and tricks fail they always revert to violence. I personally loathe it and feel many Americans do as well but it is the only thing they understand because we are dealing with a criminal element whose moral compass is bankrupt. You are already seeing signs of strong arm tactics already. Abby Martin was illegally assaulted, and held for contrived reasons. The real reason she was intimidated in this way is because she was exposing their criminal behavior. We already are well past the point of no return on the present order, we must organize the working class nobody else has the ability to change anything because they are too invested. Can you believe this Russian narrative? Bollocks! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Trump has played the Dems for fools (or is that jus the theatre were asked to believe?)! The more they go on about treason the worse the emails look. And the more they go on about Russians the more they discredit themselves! Enough rope to hang themselves much, Trump? Good one! Wow. This woman in the video really has me feeling bad for true-heart Democrats. Really. Real compassion. Im over it now, and Im laughing again. Its beyond belief to me that people still have their hearts tied up in this crud. Poor woman. The DNC has painted Trump with lies and spin too, he also has the establishment Rep. against him . He cant be that bad if they dont like him. Wow, thats powerful. Hope this takes Bernie supporters to the next level of awakening and beyond. Well said, Croco Dile. Doesnt matter what form of governance emerges no matter how decentralized at first, without eternal vigilance and an intelligent accurately informed citizenry it will devolve as per the Iron Rule of Politics. Harkens back to the Jefferson quote: If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. 
2	Thugs Try To Rape Little Girl, Grandpa Shoots Them With Shotgun According to recent reports, three thugs had something else coming to them after they broke into the home of a set of grandparents and attempt to rape their 19-year-old granddaughter. Fortunately, 67-year-old Kenneth Byrd was armed and ready to protect his family. That did not stop him from being seriously injured in the shootout. He is now in recovery. Robeson County Sheriff Kenneth Sealey told reporters that the three suspects forced their way into the Lumbeton home around 10 PM on Monday. When authorities arrived on the scene, they found Byrd suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. His wife Judy and 19-year-old granddaughter were also at the residence. The family told authorities that one of the suspects came to their door claiming to have car problems and claiming to need water. The two other men then forced their way into the house wearing ski masks and gloves and demanded money. All three suspects were armed. They have been identified as Jamie Lee Faison (20), Brandon Carver Stephens (28) and Jamar Hawkins (17). All of the invaders were injured, and fled in Byrds gold Cadillac. Faison was later found dead from a gunshot wound. What do you think? Do incidents like this underscore the importance of our Second Amendment rights? 
1	Bears players and coaches spent their first day of training camp Monday waiting for new offensive coordinator Mike Martz to install their much-anticipated high-powered offense, a system Martz originally claimed he would have up and running 'right away.' 'First he showed up late, then he spent most of the morning just figuring out where we want to put the receivers,' said Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, adding that his concerns about the installation were directed to Martz's 'unhelpful' technical staff. 'He was promising us all these huge gains in performance, and said he could give us a bunch of special drills, but honestly, I just want the most basic offense out there.' At press time, head coach Lovie Smith had been on hold with Martz for the past three hours. 
2	Bill OReilly Goes Off Script, Sends Strong Gun Control Message To Obama [VIDEO] Recently, Fox News host Bill OReilly went off-script to send a message to President Obama about his efforts to increase gun control in the United States. The message came moments after Obama called for increased measures after the shooting at an Oregon community college that left 10 dead. I have a right to protect myself, because there are crazed animals like the guy in Oregon, OReilly continued. There are people like that who will come after innocent people for no reason. And you are going to deny me protection? If I live out in rural Oregonwhere the nearest cop is 40 miles away? I cant have a gun to protect my family? Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

2	Heres Why Elisabeth Hasselbeck Is Really Leaving Fox Elisabeth Hasselbeck caused major waves this week when she announced that she would be leaving Fox Friends after two successful years on the show. I am, as I said, taking a new position as CBO, Chief Breakfast Officer, at our house with the kids, Hasselback told reporters. And that does mean that in about a month, Ill be leaving my Fox News family. According to some sources, however, there is more to the story. Rumors are circulating that the decision could have been made after a pay dispute. This has been a common thread with Fox News. It is rumored that when anchors ask for more money from the network, they are often criticized and sometimes let go for doing so. Of course, these are always reported as mutual decisions, so its hard to point to a single cause. What do you think? Is there something Hasselbeck isnt telling us. 
3	US to Delist and Arm American-Killing Terror CultContinuity of Agenda: Neo-Cons and Obama administration sponsor global terror against Iran. As the US government confirms that terrorists involved in the Benghazi, Libya US consulate attack were indeed the very militants funded, armed, and provided air support in last years bid to overthrow the government of Libya, yet another disturbing announcement has been made. Terror organization Mujahedeen e-Khalq (MEK) will be delisted by the US State Department in order to clear legal obstacles in the way of overtly arming and funding the terrorists in pursuit of a proxy war with Iran, the LA Times reported in their article, U.S. to remove Iranian group Mujahedin Khalq from terrorist list. The LA Times states specifically: Some current and former U.S. officials have called for arming the MEK to conduct attacks against Iran, which experts say could tip the United States and Iran closer to war. The US Has Already Been Arming MEK For Years 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. Seymore Hersh in an NPR interview, also claims that select MEK members have already received training in the US. 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, U.S. officials confirmed today that Israel has been funding and training Iranian dissidents to assassinate nuclear scientists involved in Irans nuclear program. The article continues by claiming, 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 (emphasis added): 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. page 117-118 of Which Path to Persia?Brookings Institution, 2009 The latest lobbying effort to delist MEK, led by some of the most adamant proponents for the Wests War on Terror is simply the latest move in a long-ago decided conspiracy to build up an armed terrorist group with which to fight a proxy war against Iran. That the conspiracy has been dutifully carried out over the course of two presidencies indicates a continuity in agenda, divorced from the alleged agendas and ideologies of each respective presidency. Image: Rudy Giuliani consorting with MEKs political wing leader Maryam Rajavi in Paris, France. Giuliani is best known for his role playing a strong supporter for the War on Terror and his incessant fear mongering versus Islamic extremists. In real life, he coddles listed terrorist organizations in direct violation of US law and even lobbies for them. 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 BrigadierGeneral 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. 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 Libertyreported 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. Conclusion Whether it is the US funding and arming Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) terrorists in Libya and in Syria, or delisting the already heavily US-armed and funded MEK in Iraq to carry out attacks across the border against Iran, the West itself is the premier purveyor of state sponsored global terror. It is support that originates not within the alleged political ideologies of Neo-Cons or the current liberal-Democrat president, but from corporate-financier interests, articulated within their think-tanks, and merely rubber-stamped and sold to the public by troupes of proxy politicians using false paradigms to manipulate public perception. It is a singular, continuous agenda that will carry forth no matter who is elected into office in 2012, 2016 or beyond. Until the balance of power can be shifted from the corporate-financier interests on Wall Street and in the City of London, back into the hands of the people and their communities, such agendas will continue on.

3	How public relations led the GMO-labeling movement astrayJon Rappoport The men who wanted to bankroll ballot initiatives mandating GMO labeling hired pollsters. The question was, what message would resonate with voters? The original pollsters (perhaps as early as 2011) tested all sorts of messages: you have a right to know whats in your food was one of them. Other messages were tougher. For example, they mentioned the effects of GMOs on health. In every poll, the one message that came out far ahead was you have a right to know whats in your food. In 2012, the Mellman Group ran a poll for the group, Just Label It.. 91% of the 1000 voters surveyed said they wanted GMO labeling, which was interpreted as consumers have a right to know whats in their food. So that became the single mantra in California and the state of Washington, and the ballot measures in both places lost. I have questions about the Mellman survey. Obtaining 91% agreement on anything under the sun should raise doubts. Who were the voters that were polled? What questions did the pollsters ask? How did they ask them? How many of the voters actually understood what GMOs are? Most importantly, how solid was that 91% when it came time for a barrage of TV ads during a political campaign? Polls can test peoples reactions to bland questions, but these reactions give you no clue about how they would respond if the issue were presented forcefully. So the people say, No, Im not motivated by that issue. But suppose you ran a TV ad in which a salt-of-the-earth farmer was standing on a barren piece of land, the camera zoomed in on him, and he showed his callused and worn hands to the audience and said: I am an American farmer. Ive been on this land forty years. My family has been on this land every day for a hundred and fifty years. Im a human being just like you. My relationship with Monsanto and their genetically engineered food ruined my farm, my future, and my life You could make that ad (conveying the truth) knock people off their couches. Then, if you asked those television viewers whether they thought GMO food and farmers livelihoods was an important issue, youd get a completely different answer. On an issue like GMO food, polls dont really tell the story. Suppose you had this TV ad: a mother and her little child stand on their lawn in front of the camera. The mother says, See the rashes and lesions on my sons body? Do you know where he got them? From the weed killer we sprayed out of a bottle. Its called Roundup. Its made by Monsanto. Do you want this for your child? Youve got the beginning of a powerful and true piece of information, delivered in a way that goes beyond the impact of any poll question about chemicals and food. Unfortunately, the men who bankrolled Prop 37 and 522 in CA and WA took the poll data at face value. They settled for the right to know whats in your food and stopped there. They thought they had a winner, the only winner. They need to go back to the drawing board. They have to knock off those bland TV ads they ran in CA and WA and realize they have the opportunity to achieve something much greater. They can show people the truth about Monsanto and cause the kind of outcome theyve been hoping for. If they have the courage for that kind of fight. GMO labeling alone is not going to add up to a victory in the struggle against Monsanto. Some proponents of labeling admit this. They say, But you see, were educating people about GMOs in the process. Well, do you want to really make an impact on people or do you just want to mess around? If youre serious, forget the polls and the pollsters. Start producing TV ads that bite. Bite hard. Use your money to detonate a real explosion in consciousness. Here is the bottom line. The issue of food has two sides. On the one hand, you build an alternative universe in which people grow and sell and buy food that is sustaining and healthy. On the other hand, you attack the criminals who are degrading and poisoning the food supply. One without the other doesnt work. TV ads must, and I mean must, attack Monsanto and the other big food-tech giants. Gary Hirshberg, the CEO of Stonyfield Organic, is a founding partner of the Just Label It group which commissioned the Mellman poll. Of all the leaders in the labeling movement, Hirshberg is the most overtly political. During the 2008 presidential campaign season, his home in New Hampshire was a mandatory stop for candidates. Hirshbergs first choice for the Democratic nomination was Tom Vilsack until he dropped out of the race. Hirshberg hosted gatherings for John Edwards and Barack Obama, and eventually decided to support Obama. Vilsack, of course, became the Secretary of Agriculture under President Obama. Vilsack is a staunch supporter of GMO food. During his term as governor of Iowa, Vilsack was given a Governor of the Year award by the Biotechnology Industry Organization. Vilsack was an odd choice for Hirshberg to support for president, to say the least. Hirshberg is the author of Stirring It Up: How to Make Money and Save the World. Its safe to say he views revolution-by-the-consumer as an exceedingly powerful force. Im sure the Mellman poll confirmed his position that right to know whats in your food, and GMO labeling, could tilt the marketplace against Monsanto. It may be pretty to think so, but giving American consumers a clear choice about whether to buy GMO or non-GMO food, through labeling, isnt, all by itself, going to push Monsanto up against the wall. For that, an all-out attack is necessary. And it doesnt doesnt take a genius to pick the medium: TV ads. The objective? To make Monsantos threat to health and life and liberty very real and very personal. To make that threat as imminent as it was when millions of students, in the 1960s, saw the military draft as their ticket to going to Vietnam to die. After youve aired a few thousand plays of such attack ads against Monsanto, then you can do polls. Then youll see what people believe and think and feel in a new light. Hirshberg serves as a co-chairman of an organization called AGree. Its objective is to build consensus around solutions to critical issues facing the food and agriculture system. As researcher Nick Brannigan has pointed out, AGree includes, among its foundation partners: the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the Rockefeller Foundation. It would be hard to find foundations more friendly to big corporate agriculture and GMOs. No doubt Hirshberg would say somebody has to walk into the lions den and try to change the system from the inside. If that is his mission, its not surprising that he would support watered-down political ads that encourage GMO leveling, while failing to make a deeper impact on the public mind. The labeling movement should be enlisting artists of all kinds to make ads that move people, that attack the poisoners of the food supply, that hold up to ridicule the corporate agenda of monopolizing and degrading the food of this planet.

1	Chimpanzees at the University of Wisconsin's Primate Laboratory are nearing completion of a two-year study on human-evasion response to hurled feces, sources reported Tuesday. 'Our research shows that Homo sapiens experience extreme agitation and an urge to flee when pelted with baseball-sized lumps of primate scat,' said Dr. Jingles, speaking from his research cage. 'In 10 out of 10 cases, our test subjects retreated to the far corner of the room and screamed, 'Stop! Stop! AIIIIGH!'' Dr. Jingles first made his mark in science in 1993, when he earned a Nobel Prize for conclusively proving the deliciousness of bananas. 
1	College football officials are hopeful that the guilty verdict handed down in the case of Mitch Cozad, the North Colorado punter who stabbed punting rival Rafael Mendoza in an attempt to usurp his starting position, will discourage any further punter-on-punter violence. 'We're saddened that the court didn't see fit to charge him with attempted punter murder, but we believe that a conviction for second-degree assault of a punter is still a deterrent to those who would do punters harm,' said NCAA legal adviser Karl Simonson. 'Protecting punters off the field is nearly as important as protecting them on it.' Assaulting a punter has been a crime in since 1974 and a felony in every state but Texas since 1997. 
1	Though Cavaliers forward LeBron James stated last year that he fully intended to participate in the 2010 Slam Dunk Contest, the NBA All-Star told reporters Monday that a complicated enrollment form prevented him from signing up. 'One of the questions asked me to list any dependents I might have,' said a visibly confused James, adding that, while he completed the portion of the form asking what type of dunks he would perform, he was unable to provide the information required on how long each of his dunks would take and how many degrees they would be in total. 'I put down my mom as a dunking emergency contact in case I got hurt, but they said the contact had to live in the Dallas area. And what did it mean when it said I could e-file the form?' Defending slam-dunk champion Nate Robinson once again successfully enrolled in the competition, saying that he hires a team of attorneys every year to help him fill out his paperwork. 
3	Restoration of States Rights and Sound Money are Needed to End Decline of the USA EconomyBy David Redick The USA started as a group of English colonies that banded together to reduce oppression and control by the English government, headed by King George III. Various disputes led to the Lexington and Concord gunfights in 1776 which started the Revolutionary War. The Articles of Confederation in 1778 documented the rules and goals of the thirteen sovereign colonies working together. After the war, a Constitutional Convention was convened in1787 to just tune-up the Articles of Confederation and the writing was completed on September 17. They went beyond the tune-up and gave many powers to the federal government. Note that the purpose of this, or any, Constitution is to stipulate what the government may, may not, and must do. It is not a group of laws (law of the land) but a list of powers granted by the people. The legislature then makes laws within the powers. When the Constitution was issued to the States for ratification, a major dispute ensued between the Federalist group (likes strong central government, and managed economy; visit this page) led by Madison and Hamilton (who wrote the Federalist Papers), and the anti-Federalist group (likes strong State and personal rights; visit this page) led by Patrick Henry. Another group, led by George Mason of VA, insisted on ten amendments (the Bill of Rights; to protect the people in case the Federal government exceeded the actual powers granted) to be included before issuing the original Constitution. Twelve were written, and the first ten were ratified. The new Constitution was sent to the states for ratification, and first signed by Delaware on Dec. 7, 1787, and last by Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. Departments, Agencies, Programs, and Wars: One can present a long list of power functions created by the Federal government (most are unconstitutional), or taken from the States. While it seems clear that national defense, treasury, and international affairs are federal responsibilities (with Departments led by Secretaries), the list has grown to fifteen today including national control with Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, etc., plus hundreds of agencies, many of which have unconstitutional rules and police powers (forced compliance, fines, arrests, etc.). See the list here. This gives the federal government a monopoly on many aspects of business and personal conduct, and there is an incentive for ambitious, control-oriented, politicians to seek votes with too much regulation and taxes on the rich (or less with big campaign donations!; crony capitalism), while creating welfare entitlement programs for the so-called under-privileged and disadvantaged, most of whom caused their own problems. Private charity can handle most of the truly needy with much less cost and fewer side effects. If these programs were run by the States, there would be incentive to treat people and firms with minimal control (low taxes, and regulations) to avoid having them relocate to another State (vote with their feet!). The States would eliminate many programs since they cant create money out of thin air, as the Feds do. The damaging effects of the Federal style includes reduced incentive for innovation and work because its not worth it when taxes are high. Of course only strong governments use war as a tool to gain land and power. The War of 1812 was our first venture, followed by the Mexican-American, Civil, and Spanish-American wars, and many others. These would not have happened if the States were in control. They did not have enough money or power, and it is not likely that a group of states would invade another country. Refer to this link about how all of our wars since the Revolution were started on lies, and read below how we used fake money to pay for most of them. Our first overseas war was the Spanish-American war, and since then we have invaded many countries abroad (we now have 900 bases in 130 countries), and murdered thousands of people in the process of building Empire-USA. Problems caused by paper money made from thin air: From its start in 1778, the Federal government has wanted to control the monetary system so as to finance their programs of war and welfare, which are still with us today! The Colonies, and early US states, used many types of currency from other nations, and had no official U.S. money. With the fall to zero value of the paper scrip issued by colonies, and the paper Continentals for the soldiers in the Revolution, the people had learned their lesson about how paper money fails due to creation of excessive quantities, with no redemption for gold. Thus, per article IX, the Articles of Confederation referred to value of coin (thus metallic) as money, and the Constitution went further in Section 10, part 1 by requiring use of gold and silver for coins, made by the States. To implement these rules, Congress enacted the Coinage Act of 1792 (The Mint Act) and established gold and silver as the monetary standards of the United States. The act also allowed for the creation of a national mint. It was the worlds first decimal-based monetary system. Between the adoption of the Constitution and the Civil War the United States government did not issue paper money as we know it today, but on many occasions it did issue short term debt called Treasury Notes. In 1861 Lincoln needed money to finance the so-called Civil War (actually a war of aggression against the South, which had the right to secede, to retain them as a source of cotton, and a market for Northern manufactured goods), so he got Congress to pass a bill authorizing the printing of full legal tender treasury notes to pay soldiers and buy war goods. The initial Greenbacks were redeemable in gold or silver, but redemption soon ended so the Legal Tender Act of 1862 was issued to force people and firms to accept them. Next came the National Bank Acts of 1863 and 1864 that created a system of federally chartered national banks that issued bank notes. The Acts also put a ten percent tax on state bank notes, which ended their money-making profit so they all quit, which gave us a federal monopoly on money creation! The Secret Service was created, so only DC could safely make counterfeit money! The Federal government finally achieved a monopoly on creation of money! After several versions of gold and silver money laws, some devious politicians and bankers conspired to get the unconstitutional Federal Reserve System approved on December 23, 1913. It was a true central bank but the politicians knew they couldnt get approval for one, so they gave it a phony name. Its mandates of stable value of the USD, and full employment were fake means of getting political and citizen support. Another function was to be the lender of last resort to bailout insolvent banks!! Remember; All central banks are created by and for politicians and bankers, so neither runs out of money. Until FDR ended redemption for people in 1933, the Fed Notes could be redeemed by any owner for gold at $20.67 per ounce. After that, only nations could redeem, but had to pay $35 oz. In the 1960s, many nations worried that we were low on gold so started redeeming in large amounts. We indeed were running out, so Nixon ended redemption on August 15, 1971. Soon thereafter, ALL nations ended redemption. Since then the economic strength of a country has determined the value of its currency, short of excessive monetary inflation. Thus the US Dollar (USD) has been the worlds primary reserve currency since 1971, which means banks hold it for transactions, and most international deals are done in USD. It had been used in 90% of international transactions until our economic breakdown in 2008, and is now about 60%. That decline means other nations are less dependent on us, and may not follow our policies or demands! Many nations, led by China and Russia, are now using their own currencies for deals, which reduces demand for the USD. Due to monetary inflation (creating new money), and reduced demand, the USD purchasing power has dropped by a factor of ten since 1971, and a factor of 4 since 2000. This means we are heading for an economic cliff much worse than 2008, and must reduce our spending on war and welfare, or CRASH! Table 1 shows our extreme debt that most officials consider unpayable!! The Honest National Debt and Unfunded Liabilities A. $ 18.4 tn National Debt (disclosed debt) B. 97.4 Key Misc. unfunded Liabilities (not disclosed, off-budget, includes; 1) Medicare A, B, and D, 2) govt debt held by the public, and 3) Federal employee pensions and job benefits.) 14.2 Social Security (all unfunded) ______ $ 111.6 trillion Total for B $ 130.0 trillion = Grand Total (A+B) (Source: USDebtClock.org, Aug. 20, 2015) What can we do as a nation to avoid the crash, and spare our children and their friends a life near poverty? These are the key issues; 1. Use of Gold as Money, with no government monopoly: History shows us that when countries use sound money (such as gold coins, or paper and base-metal tokens as redeemable receipts for gold) made by private mints (including banks), and no government monopoly, they have zero or low price inflation, zero or minor cycles of economic panic or depression, and more peace, liberty, and prosperity (smaller governments, less war). The main reason is that the government cannot create gold out of thin air to pay its bills, and thus must spend less on wars and welfare, etc.! We would expect all countries to use sound money, except the leaders want more money than they can get by just taxing, especially for wars. Why Gold? All forms of money serve as a medium of exchange, unit of account, and store of value, which makes it convenient and flexible compared to barter. Think of commodity money as just a step up from barter, but with the flexibility of using it to buy anything. Note that when a valuable commodity (such as gold) is used as money -monetization of gold-, the money has market value (based on demand for industrial and consumer uses) equal to the goods or services in the transaction. Thus it can also be a store of value (savings; keep some for later use), even when not used as money (often called intrinsic value). When gold is used as money, it has no price in dollars, yen, etc. Weight is the unit of account (such as milligrams). Sellers will set prices in weight of gold. There will be prices IN weight of gold, but not OF gold! (Example; What is the price of a dollar?). Gold money will have an exchange rate with other money, but not a price. This will take some getting used to as we evolve to pricing in weight of gold. To achieve broad use, commodity coins must be made of, or contain, a material that has these ten characteristics: a. is equal in value to the items in a transaction, and b. is a store and measure of value. The market (users of money; not governments or habit) has decided that gold fits these requirements best, but silver and copper can have a role in parallel, with no fixed ratios set as to value per gram (i.e., no bi-metallic standard). The coins must be valued and marked by weight of their precious metal content (such as milligrams), or the amount they can be redeemed for. There is always enough gold for money, because if a nations economy (GDP) grows faster than its gold supply, the increased demand will cause their gold for domestic transactions to APPRECIATE in purchasing power per ounce, which in turn cause deflation (lower prices). The same logic applies to the world economy. It is self-adjusting and needs no government meddling! The conversion from Fed Notes to Gold as money would entail dividing our money supply (M3, including Treasuries) into the ounces of gold we own (the Fed claims 8,134 tonnes, but is probably much less). Under the present system, this would value gold at about $55,000 per troy ounce. Upon conversion, each USD would be redeemable for a tiny amount of gold, as calculated above. This would eliminate any run to get rid of ones USD before conversion. Later, a new currency would be issued to replace the Fed Notes. See more detail in my book Monetary Revolution USA from Amazon.com, and posted free at part 2 in the left margin of my site www.Forward-USA.org. 2. Restore the Power taken from the States As discussed in the Introduction above, our nation started with the States having considerable power, but they have been stripped of much of it over the years. In some cases (highways, welfare, medical, etc.) they give it up in exchange for money for Federal subsidies of state functions (maybe some votes too!). a) An obvious first step is to revise amendment 16 of the Constitution to limit or end Federal income taxes. A low flat tax or sales tax could be the answer. b) Restore amendment 17 of the Constitution, which will again allow the States to appoint the US Senators, thus representing State interests. c) A more complex step is to give the States more direct power over the federal government. (even more than in the original constitution). I suggest we copy the Canton system in Switzerland. The Cantons can vote to void a federal law, or terminate a legislator. This keeps the central government legislators giving priority to the people rather than themselves! Space does not allow discussion of Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Immigration, etc., but these need to be considered in any final plan. I dont underestimate the difficulty of, and opposition to, a transition to gold as money, and restoring power to the States. Some will say we should set less ambitious goals, but I say these lesser goals are just steps along the way and we must never stop striving for the ultimate goal of reducing harmful government spending and control. Maybe if we hit bottom hard enough (2020, 2030?) in the current recession, people and the government will start to listen to us.

2	Judge Walks Out Of Court Over Gay Marriage Mandate: It Disgraces A Holy Institution According to recent reports, a North Carolina magistrate made the decision to resign after he was ordered to perform civil marriages for same-sex couples. Rockingham County Magistrate John Kallam Jr. was told that refusing to do so could end in suspension or dismissal. Instead, Kallam decided to walk away on his own accord, writing a letter of resignation to Chief District Court Judge Fred Wilkins. He cited his belief that marrying gay couples would desecrate a holy institution established by God Himself as his reason for leaving. Read his full letter below and tell us what you think: Dear Sir: It is with deep regret that I must inform you of my intent to resign from my current position as Magistrate effective 31 October 2014. It is my intent to use my remaining administrative days for the remainder of this month. When I took my oath of office, I understood I would be required to perform weddings and have done so throughout my tenure. I did not however take that oath with any understanding that I would be required to marry same sex couples. It is my personal belief and a position of my Christian faith that doing so would desecrate a holy Institution established by God Himself. Since performing marriages is an integral part of being a Magistrate and in light of recent changes in North Carolina law. I can no longer fulfill my oath of office in good faith. I will contact Mr Pegrams office to insure all necessary paper work is completed and all items belonging to the State and/or county are completed and/or returned. I have enjoyed working with all the fine people at the Rockingham County Courthouse. I wish you all the best as you continue in your quest to administer justice in a fair and impartial manner. I am reminded of the last words of David who said, He that rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God. Where there is no fear of God there can be no justice!

1	Following Pope Francis tolerant remarks Sunday about homosexuals and the Catholic Church, Vatican officials reportedly went into crisis mode, announcing that the Popes thoughtful message of understanding was clearly taken out of context. It is not the official stance of the Pope or the Catholic Church that all people of good will who seek the Lord, especially gay people, should be accepted by Christ, a visibly nervous Vatican spokesman told reporters, adding that the Holy Father was clearly tired after his long trip to Brazil and never meant for his comments to sound caring or realistic. Homosexuality is a disorder. And this in no way means that, going forward, the Catholic Church will be an open-minded, more sensible organization. I assure you we are just as prejudiced and backward today as we were yesterday. Thank you. According to an anonymous source close to the Vatican, the Pope is currently being yelled at by Church officials, who are telling him, You dont just go off script like that. Who the fuck do you think you are? 
3	Warning: Nuclear Deal With Iran Prelude to War, Not BreakthroughBy Tony Cartalucci Hysteria now sweeps the headlines across the Western media regarding a historical nuclear deal that Obama made that vindicates the Nobel Peace Prize he was prematurely awarded so many years ago. For those aware of the ruse at play, such sentiments are to be inevitably and completely betrayed by what is sure to follow. The global public must remember there is currently a war raging in Syria on Irans doorstep. The sole purpose of this war, organized and directed by the West, fueled by billions in cash, weapons, and flooded with fighters organized and trafficked from across the globe by NATO and its allies, is to destroy Irans chief regional ally before inevitably destroying Iran itself. If the war in Syria is still raging, then one can be assured that the proxy war in turn being waged against Iran is still raging. The nuclear deal, as it was planned to be all along, is a ruse. The 2013 article, Nuclear Deal With Iran Prelude to War, Not Breakthrough, in its entirety, explains: 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. Brookings Institutions 2009 Which Path to Persia? report, page 52. The West has no intention of striking any lasting deal with Iran, as nuclear capabilities, even the acquirement of nuclear weapons by Iran was never truly an existential threat to Western nations or their regional partners. The Wests issue with Iran is its sovereignty and its ability to project its interests into spheres traditionally monopolized by the US and UK across the Middle East. Unless Iran plans on turning over its sovereignty and regional influence along with its right to develop and use nuclear technology, betrayal of any nuclear deal is all but inevitable, as is the war that is to shortly follow. Exposing the duplicity that accompanies Western efforts to strike a deal will severely undermine their attempt to then use the deal as leverage to justify military operations against Iran. For Iran and its allies, they must be prepared for war, more so when the West feigns interest in peace. Libya serves as a perfect example of the fate that awaits nations reproached by the West who let down their guard it literally is a matter of life and death both for leaders, and for nations as a whole.

2	Blonde TV Reporter Annihilates Obama Voting Race Baiter Get Over Yourself [VIDEO] Conservative TV host Tomi Lahren is best known for standing up to misguided liberals. She did that once again this week after actor Jesse Williams took to the stage at the BET Awards to bash white people. While accepting the humanitarian award, Williams used his speech to criticize whiteness. Weve been floating this country on credit for centuries, yo, and were done watching and waiting while this invention called whiteness uses and abuses us, burying black people out of sight and out of mind, while extracting our culture, our dollars, our entertainment like oil, black gold, Williams began. Ghettoizing and demeaning our creations then stealing them, gentrifying our genius and then trying is on like costumes before discarding our bodies like rinds of strange fruit. The thing is, though, the thing is that just because were Magic, doesnt mean were not real. During the Final Thoughts segment of her show, Lahren criticized Williams for being anti-police, commenting that his previous statements regarding law enforcement were prolonging the war on cops. She then went on to highlight his hypocrisy. Was this a celebration of Black entertainment, she said, or an opportunity to complain about the plight of wealthy Black actors and musicians? It sure seems like you want special treatment, it sure sounds like you would like a gold star at the end of the day just for being born. Get over yourself Lahren concluded, Youre teaching black children to feel sorry for themselves. Nice work and how about YOU sit down. What do you think of Lahrens comments? 
1	Anger, shock, and feelings of intense awkwardness were just some of the reactions in the Helstein household Tuesday as Jeremy Helstein, 46, scolded his 17-year-old daughter Erica for allegedly wearing 'next to nothing.' Athens-area high-school junior Erica Helstein, right out in public. 'This is my house, young lady,' Helstein told the oldest of his three childrenwhom he says has lived by his rules ever since she was born and will continue to do so as long as she's under his roofduring the emotionally charged confrontation. 'If you think you're going out dressed like that, you've got another thing coming, I'll tell you right now. For Christ's sake, everyone can see all the way from here to Timbuktu.' Despite efforts at mediation by his wife Clara, Helstein said he has no plans to rescind his condemnation of his daughter's outfit, a white cotton tank-top and snug-fitting jeans that 'leave nothing to the imagination.' According to family members who witnessed the dispute, Erica responded to the allegations with severe sulking, angrily stomping out of the living room and violently slamming the bathroom door. The high-school junior has denied the charges, admitting that the tank top exposes her shoulders and back but contending that it is not inappropriate Friday-night attire for someone who will be graduating from high school in less than a year. She also claimed that Helstein, a furniture-warehouse manager and avid fisherman, 'never lets her do anything' and is a 'big, mean jerk bent on ruining [her] social life.' 'It's totally no fair, because I've seen pictures of Mom from when Dad first married her, and she's got on these miniskirts and halter tops,' Erica said shortly after the incident. 'But when I said that to him, he just said, 'That was different,' and told me not to talk about my own mother that way, whatever that means. What a retard.' Following the accusations, Erica was forbidden to leave the house until she put some clothes on and warned that if she continued to 'sass back,' she may also find herself grounded for the next two weekends. She was also denied use of the family car. 'And another thing,' Helstein reportedly yelled at the locked bathroom door, 'when you come out of there, you'd just better have a goddamn bra on or there'll be hell to pay.' Although the dispute marked the family's worst incident of attire-related domestic instability in recent memory, it was not the first to cause unrest within the Helstein household. In May 1997, tensions ran high when Erica's father forbade her to buy a neon-pink string bikini she had found on sale at the nearby Northway Mall, calling the purchase 'absolutely out of the question' and leaving her with nothing to wear to a birthday/pool party to which she had been invited. As Erica has repeatedly reminded family and friends, he also refused to let her wear make-up until she was 15, and still complains on a near-nightly basis that she wears too much eyeliner, on one occasion even stating that her eye shadow looked 'caked-on.' She also noted that Helstein refused to allow her to go steady until she was a junior and once withheld her weekly allowance for two whole months after she came home a measly hour and a half late from a date with varsity swim-team member Joey Evantine. Jeremy Helstein, 46 Tensions between the two camps continued to mount throughout the 1998-99 school year, especially after Helstein wouldn't let Erica wear thigh-high socks, even though, as Erica noted, 'practically all the girls were wearing them.' Helstein also frequently voiced disapproval when Erica wore tank tops which revealed her bra straps, claiming she looks 'like she's in her damn underwear.' Despite these ongoing conflicts, however, the situation had been relatively contained since March, with no major outbreaks for almost three months prior to Tuesday's resumed hostilities. Some observers within the home, notably mother Clara and younger brother Chuck, say this peacetime period may have been due to Erica's persistent hope that Helstein will break down and finally buy her a black Dodge Neon. 'After the way she spoke to her father tonight, though, I don't think she ought to hold her breath,' Clara said. 'She's on thin ice with him, that one is.' Following the explosive wardrobe-selection conflict, Erica spent an estimated 45 minutes in the locked bathroom before emerging in a bulky sweater and loose overalls to ask for the car keys. After driving to her friend Sara Armitage's house, she then changed back into her previous outfit, which she had brought along concealed in a large handbag, before going out for the night. Anonymous lunchroom sources allege that three hours later, Erica went to third base with senior Peter Koechley in the back seat of his car, though the reports could not be confirmed as of press time. 
2	Youll Be Mad As Hell When You Learn What Horrible Thing Nurses Are Doing To Dying Vets In VA Hospitals It always makes us sick when we hear of mistreatment of our veterans, those who have dedicated their lives to protecting the American people. Now, Valerie Riviello, a nurse at the Albany Stratton VA in New York, has come public with a disturbing practice in her hospital. According to Riviello, employees at the Albany VA are denying veterans morphine, and giving them salt water in its place. Riviello notes that there is a great deal of corruption in the hospital, and claims that nurses who treat the hospice patients have been replacing drugs with a mixture of water and salt. Riviello also claims that management was notified of the crime, but did not take action. Now, the VA inspector general is launching an investigation into the incident. What do you think should happen to the VA employees if they are found guilty?

2	Liberals FURIOUS After This Racist Billboard Goes Up According to recent reports, a billboard on display in the urban section of Memphis, Tennessee is under attack for being racist. The creator of the billboard, however, maintains that he only intends to deliver an important message for young men growing up in the neighborhood. Fred Davis, an insurance agent, claims that he invested in a billboard because he wanted young men to know that the way they dress impacts the way they are perceived. More specifically, when their pants are sagging, it negatively impacts their future. Show your mind, not your behind, the short message reads, with a picture of a young Black man with sagging pants and another with a diploma. We didnt fight for civil rights to end up with the thugs running around today, Davis concluded. What do you think?

Foster Gamble, creator of Thrive, calls it an astoundingly great job. Take Back Your Power is a beautiful, tasteful, authoritative and touching account of the dire situation we face, and solutions available here and now. The meters can determine what appliances are being used and for how long, and can be remotely turned off, were warned. This wont be a typical how-bad-they-are film; del Sol plans to provide a number of solutions citizens can take. Agroup in British Columbia, for example, thwarted BC Hydro smart meters for over 200,000 citizens by using a particular legal notice. But not all stories are of success. Earlier this year, two Illinois mothers were arrested for refusing the meters while a Gestapo team installed them city-wide. Joshua Hart reports: These developments would be unbelievable in and of themselves as flagrant violations of constitutional property rights. The fact that the meters emit a Class 2B carcinogen, have caused at least hundreds of fires, and clearly violate privacy laws including the 4th Amendment, not to mention that these facts are all at issue in an ongoing federal lawsuit brought against the city by its own residents- makes these events all the more troubling. If were not careful, within 20 years, she warned, were going to be watched by our smart home, and its going to be like how our cell phones, and the Internet are today, where youre tracked everywhere, unless you opt out. Josh parses the Hegelian Dialect leading to more corporate control in three easy steps: And true to form, as Noory related, in the same week of the Naperville, IL arrests, Homeland Security released a fear-mongering statement that a cyber attack on our infrastructure was imminent.

1	With Wall Street booming, the U.S. military standing tall, and Mark McGwire kicking ass and taking names, Congress passed the Helms-Bayh 'America Is #1' bill by an overwhelming majority Monday. 'My esteemed colleagues, all of us have long known that America is number one,' said Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, announcing the bill's 92-7 passage. 'But now it is official. USA! USA! USA!' Members of Congress cheer the passage of the Helms-Bayh bill. Lott's statement, which was met with cheering, whistling and foot-stomping, was followed by the playing of Lee Greenwood's 'God Bless The USA'blared over the congressional sound system. As the song played, a group of senators hoisted Lott onto their shoulders and threw him in the air. The bill, which co-sponsor Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) called 'yet another victory for America,' received near-unanimous approval in the House before breezing through the Senate with little opposition. It is slated to be signed into law Friday by President Clinton. 'This bill is for all the hard-working people who have made this country what it is today,' Clinton said. 'Forget the rest, we are the best!' First drafted in the House Rules Committee, the bill includes clauses establishing that America has the biggest GNP, the coolest cars, and the best professional basketball players in the entire world. Under the terms of the bill, any American citizen not liking the new law can go the hell to Russia. The dissenting votes in the House were cast by three Republicans and four Democrats, all of whom were driven out of the Capitol Building to chants of 'Communist' and 'Benedict Arnold.' 'Yes, patriotism does play a valuable role in any society,' said Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI), one of the bill's opponents. 'But let's not lose sight of things: America has a lot of problems that this jingoistic bill makes us less likely to recognize and address. Take, for example, our failing Social Security system. And our falling export' Feingold's remarks were quickly drowned out by loud booing and table-banging. 'Who can deny that America is the shit?' asked Sen. Rod Grams (R-MN). 'Who's got the world's highest standard of living? Who singlehandedly created the Internet, the first fully accessible world-wide information database? Who's got the best movies? Whose golf team just kicked the Europeans' asses in the Ryder Cup? America, that's who. We rule!' Grams then engaged Senate Majority Whip Don Nickles and Minority Leader Tom Daschle in a round of 'high-fives, up and behind.' Sen. Jesse Helms (R-NC) taunts a group of visiting French dignitaries. 'It was a great feeling to have such consensus between the two parties,' said Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH), who organized a pre-vote tailgate barbeque on the Capitol lawn. 'Conservatives, liberals, left, rightfor just one day, we put all of our differences aside to come together in agreement that we are the best.' Added Voinovich: 'We're better than Japan, we're better than England, we're better than China, we're better than Germany, Canada, France, India, Brazil, Egypt... Need I say more?' Despite enjoying near-universal support in Congress, the bill is not without its detractors. 'Allocating a mere $55 million for flags and face paint, this bill simply does not go far enough,' political commentator and possible presidential hopeful Pat Robertson said. 'So much more could be done. What about a superfund for ticker-tape and balloons? What about a permanent float committee? What about mandatory sentencing for those who mess with the U.S.? Don't be fooled, America.' Public response to the bill has been overwhelmingly favorable. 'This is exactly what this country needs right now,' said Diane Hebets, a Chelsea, MI, legal secretary. 'All I hear these days is negativity about the national debt, our health-care system, youth violenceit's about time we heard something about what we're doing right.' 'It's been a long time since I agreed so wholeheartedly with those politicians in Washington,' said Orlando, FL, carpet salesman Jim LeClair. 'We're number one, and nobody better forget it. You hear me, Saddam Hussein? If you want some, come and get it. I'm right here, buddy.' 
1	After an NFL investigation revealed that 11 of New Englands 12 game balls were under-inflated during last weekends AFC Championship Game, Americans across the nation announced Wednesday that they would loveabsolutely loveto hear the excuses from Patriots fans this time. No, no, by all means, go ahead, said every single person living outside of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Rhode Island, and Connecticut before reportedly smiling and adding, Im all ears. Wait, let me guess: The deflated footballs were also easier to catch for the Colts defense, so the Patriots didnt have a real advantage, right? Or is it that the score was so lopsided that it didnt matter in the end? No, seriously, Im sure you guys have something really great cooked up for this one. The American populace went on to say that they also absolutely cannot wait to hear how this new scandal will have no effect on the legacy of Tom Brady. 
1	The American print, broadcast, and online news media inexplicably continued reporting Wednesday on topics ranging from the budget debate in Washington to the recent tumult in Syria as if Saturday's escape of a 20-inch Egyptian cobra from the Bronx Zooa snake whose venom destroys its prey's nervous system and can kill a human being in 15 minutesisn't the only thing worth paying attention to right now. 'The safety of nuclear power continues to be a hot-button topic,' said one reporter in a newscast that, bizarrely, wasn't devoted entirely to a deadly snake that has no regard for human life and could be anywhere, coiled up in someone's basement, hiding in a pillowcase, or at this very moment looming right behind an individual reading a news article, its neck-hood fully extended and its lethal fangs poised to strike into the back of one's head. 'And in sports news, [something else unrelated to the only two topics that could possibly be of any interest to anyone, namely, (a) what is being done to catch the snake and (b) how does one actively hide from it].' As of press time, Brian Williams should stop interviewing President Obama about Libya for Christ's sake and ask him why, with a snake on the loose that can release a neurotoxin causing severe flaccid paralysis, the government isn't setting up antivenom distribution centers across the country. 
2	Michelle Obama Has Her Most Embarrassing Moment As First Lady When President Obama and Michelle Obama traveled to Austin for a speaking engagement for the Civil Rights Act landmark, they apparently werent prepared for high winds. The event was held at the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library, which is where Michelle had a horrendous wardrobe malfunction. Surrounding photographers snapped pictures as her black and blue pinstriped skirt flew up in the wind, despite Obamas attempts to help the First Lady. Maybe she was trying to take the attention off of her travel-expenses? Classic PR move, Michelle. Let us know what you think in the comments! 
1	Quietly navigating through the damp, pitch-black tunnels underneath the 82,500-seat arena, gruesome, deformed New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul was reportedly spotted Wednesday lurking in the sewers below MetLife Stadium. They mustnt see methey mustnt see me! muttered Pierre-Paul, using his tattered Giants uniform and helmet to cover his scarred, disfigured body, with reports confirming that the grotesque sixth-year defensive lineman occasionally peeks through small cracks of concrete late in the fourth quarter when the stadium is mostly deserted. I am a monster now, and I cannot go near the surface dwellers. The shadows...the shadows are my home. At press time, Pierre-Paul was feasting on a bucket of raw fish left for him near a drainage grate by Giants head coach Tom Coughlin.

Small expedition ship The Petula Rosa has departed from the Shores of Rhode Island this fourth week of June in hopes of escaping Ridicule aimed at its rather effeminate Name. Arriving From The Orient. Sea-faring vessel The Nautilus, led by Captain James McCann, has returned from a Year's long Voyage to The Far-East with an abundant supply of Rare and Exceptional spices.

The Ship Amigo, Captain James Joseph Anchower II, will set sail on the fifteen of July for freight or passage and is willing to be compensated with backside, lantern oil, or the leaf of hemp. The Good-Ship Tea Ship has returned from Great-Britain with MORE TEA, thus completing her 47th voyage across the Atlantic Ocean, each time departing with No Tea and porting with Tea Aplenty, tho' We needn't more Tea and are all ready burdened with an Amount of GOD-forsaken Tea so great it is nigh Undrinkable. 
1	Growing nervous after watching a rough cut of his upcoming biopic Lincoln, director Steven Spielberg reportedly re-edited the entire film in a bout of panic, inserting a recurring gag that involves the 16th president repeatedly suffering injuries to the groin. Steven realized that given the brutal scenes of slavery, the horrific Civil War battles, and an ending in which the hero is killed in cold blood, his movie might benefit from a little comic relief, said a source at DreamWorks Pictures, adding that the film includes a hilarious rail-splitting scene in which an ax head flies off its handle and hits the Great Emancipator squarely in the genitals, as well as a humorous mishap that causes Lincoln to open the Gettysburg Address with the words Four score and seven years agooOOOWWW! We spent about a week shooting pickup footage, and Daniel Day-Lewis got so into character he would improvise taking-it-in-the-nuts routines that werent even in the script. He even had an assistant kick him in the balls between takes just so he could keep himself in the same frame of mind Lincoln would have been in at the time. Reports from early screenings indicate overwhelming audience approval of the films new ending, in which John Wilkes Booth shoots Lincoln, screams Sic semper tyrannis! and leaps from the Fords Theatre balcony only to land crotch-first on an iron handrail. 
3	The Dwindling US EconomyBy Paul Craig Roberts Todays GDP report is the advance estimate. There will be two revisions, with the first occurring in one month on May 29. Although the consensus estimate, which is Wall Streets estimate, declined dramatically over the past month, the consensus estimate was for 1.0 percent. The BEAs advance estimate bears the burden of impact on financial markets even though it is the least reliable estimate. Subsequent revisions receive much less attention. Because of its market impact, the advance estimate is fudged by the Bureau of Economic Affairs (BEA) in order not to upset financial markets keyed to the consensus forecast. All indications are that the first quarter experienced negative GDP growth, that is, a decline from the previous quarter. However, if BEA reported a negative GDP when the financial markets were relying on positive real growth, the governments Plunge Protection Team might be unable to prevent a substantial market decline. Therefore, the BEA in its advance estimate reported a barely positive result that kept GDP out of negative territory. This gives financial markets a month to undergo an orderly reduction prior to the first and then second revisions of the advance estimate, or simply to forget the poor performance altogether until the second quarter advance estimate. Maintaining stability and not shocking financial markets is now ingrained in US economic reporting. No government statistical department wants to be blamed for crashing the financial markets. So bad news leaks in slowly if at all. Indications are that the second quarter 2015 will also have negative GDP growth, that is, a further decline. As John Williams (shadowstats.com) is likely correct that there has been no recovery from the prior recession, just bottom bouncing with stock and bond markets driven by the Feds outpouring of liquidity, the first half of 2015 will signal a second downturn in the US economy which is collapsing as a result of jobs offshoring and a deregulated financial system. The real economic outlook, which will emerge from BEA in a month or two, should be obvious to anyone who had the introductory course to macroeconomics. The economy depends on consumer spending. Consumers have two ways of spending more. One way is from rising incomes. The other way is from rising consumer debt. With the advent of jobs offshoring, real median family incomes ceased to rise. The ability of consumers to substitute larger debt burdens for the missing growth in their real incomes was used up by Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspans policy of expanding consumer debt in order to fill in for the missing growth in consumer income. Today consumer debt levels are too high for consumers to incur more debt. The only element of consumer debt showing an increase is student loans. The offshored jobs were not replaced with the promised New Economy jobs. No one has seen any sign of the mythical New Economy jobs. The New Economy is the transformation of the once powerful US economy into a third world labor force where new jobs exist only in domestic non-tradable services (services that cannot be exported) such as retail clerks, hospital orderlies, waitresses, and bartenders. As there are not enough of these jobs to go around, the labor force participation rate has dropped sharply. The United States is an economic basket case. Washington has given away the US economy to Asian countries with lower labor costs. The owners and mangers of capital have benefited, but the vast bulk of Americans have suffered. As capitals owners and managers are not sufficiently numerous to drive the economy with their expenditures, the fabled American economy is no more. What will bring the US economy out of the second leg of the downturn? If massive federal budget deficits and zero interest rates could not correct the first leg of the downturn, what does fiscal and monetary policy have left in its arsenal? This article first appeared at Paul Craig Roberts website Institute For Political Economy. Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy and associate editor of the Wall Street Journal. He was columnist for Business Week, Scripps Howard News Service, and Creators Syndicate. He has had many university appointments. His Internet columns have attracted a worldwide following. 
3	9/11 After 13 yearsPaul Craig Roberts The corrupt Bush and Obama regimes used 9/11 to kill, maim, dispossess and displace millions of Muslims in seven countries, none of whom had anything whatsoever to do with 9/11. A generation of Americans has been born into disdain and distrust of Muslims. A generation of Americans has been born into a police state in which privacy and constitutional protections no longer exist. A generation of Americans has been born into continuous warfare while needs of citizens go unmet. A generation of Americans has been born into a society in which truth is replaced with the endless repetition of falsehoods. According to the official story, on September 11, 2001, the vaunted National Security State of the Worlds Only Superpower was defeated by a few young Saudi Arabians armed only with box cutters. The American National Security State proved to be totally helpless and was dealt the greatest humiliation ever inflicted on any country claiming to be a power. That day no aspect of the National Security State worked. Everything failed. The US Air Force for the first time in its history could not get interceptor jet fighters into the air. The National Security Council failed. All sixteen US intelligence agencies failed as did those of Americas NATO and Israeli allies. Air Traffic Control failed. Airport Security failed four times at the same moment on the same day. The probability of such a failure is zero. If such a thing had actually happened, there would have been demands from the White House, from Congress, and from the media for an investigation. Officials would have been held accountable for their failures. Heads would have rolled. Instead, the White House resisted for one year the 9/11 families demands for an investigation. Finally, a collection of politicians was assembled to listen to the governments account and to write it down. The chairman, vice chairman, and legal counsel of the 9/11 Commission have said that information was withheld from the commission, lies were told to the commission, and that the commission was set up to fail. The worst security failure in history resulted in not a single firing. No one was held responsible. Washington concluded that 9/11 was possible because America lacked a police state. The PATRIOT Act, which was awaiting the event was quickly passed by the congressional idiots. The Act established executive branch independence of law and the Constitution. The Act and follow-up measures have institutionalized a police state in the land of the free. Osama bin Laden, a CIA asset dying of renal failure, was blamed despite his explicit denial. For the next ten years Osama bin Laden was the bogyman that provided the excuse for Washington to kill countless numbers of Muslims. Then suddenly on May 2, 2011, Obama claimed that US Navy SEALs had killed bin Laden in Pakistan. Eyewitnesses on the scene contradicted the White Houses story. Osama bin Laden became the only human in history to survive renal failure for ten years. There was no dialysis machine in what was said to be bin Ladens hideaway. The numerous obituaries of bin Ladens death in December 2001 went down the memory hole. And the SEAL team died a few weeks later in a mysterious helicopter crash in Afghanistan. The thousands of sailors on the aircraft carrier from which bin Laden was said to have been dumped into the Indian Ocean wrote home that no such burial took place. The fairy tale story of bin Ladens murder by SEAL Team Six served to end the challenge by disappointed Democrats to Obamas nomination for a second term. It also freed the war on terror from the bin Laden constraint. Washington wanted to attack Libya, Syria, and Iran, countries in which bin Laden was known not to have organizations, and the succession of faked bin Laden videos, in which bin Laden grew progressively younger as the fake bin Laden claimed credit for each successive attack, had lost credibility among experts. Watching the twin towers and WTC 7 come down, it was obvious to me that the buildings were not falling down as a result of structural damage. When it became clear that the White House had blocked an independent investigation of the only three steel skyscrapers in world history to collapse as a result of low temperature office fires, it was apparent that there was a coverup. After 13 years people at home and abroad find the governments story less believable. The case made by independent experts is now so compelling that mainstream media has opened to it. Here is Richard Gage of Architects Engineers for 9/11 Truth on C-SPAN: After years of persistence a group in New York has secured the necessary number of valid signatures to put on the ballot a vote to investigate the cause of the collapse of the three WTC buildings. The official account, if correct, means that existing fire and building codes are insufficient to protect the public and that all other steel high rise structures are subject to the same failure. The group has been clever to frame the issue in terms of public safety and not in terms of 9/11 truth. New York authorities, of course, continue to oppose the initiative. The question now rests on a judges ruling. It is difficult to imagine a judge going against the government in such a major way, but the group will have made the point that the government has no confidence in the truth of its own story. Over these 13 years, physicists, chemists, architects, engineers, and first responders have provided massive evidence that completely disproves the official account of the failure of the three skyscrapers. The response to experts has been for non-experts to call experts conspiracy theorists. In other words, the defenders of the governments story have no scientific or factual basis on which to stand. So they substitute name-calling. 9/11 was used to fundamentally alter the nature of the US government and its relationship to the American people. Unaccountable executive power has replaced due process and the checks and balances established by the US Constitution. In the name of National Security, executive power knows no restraints. Essentially, Americans today have no rights if the government targets them. Those Americans born after 9/11 were born into a different country from the rest of us. Having never experienced constitutional government, they will not know what they have lost. The anthrax attacks of October 2001 have been forgotten, but Professor Graeme MacQueen in The 2001 Anthrax Deception (Clarity Press, 2014) shows that the anthrax attacks played an essential role in setting the stage for the governments acquisition of unaccountable police state power. Two Democratic Senate committee chairmen, Thomas Daschle and Patrick Leahy, were disturbed by the Bush regimes overreach for carte blanche power, and were in a position to block the coming police state legislation and the ability of the executive branch alone to take America to war. Both senators received anthrax letters, as did major news organizations. The TV network news anchors, such as Dan Rather, who compared the collapse of WTC skyscrapers to buildings brought down by controlled demolition, had not yet been fired by Republicans on framed-up charges. Initially, the anthrax letters, which caused the deaths of some USPS employees, were seen as the second stage of the 9/11 attack. Fear multiplied. The senators and media shut up. Then it was discovered that the anthrax was a unique kind produced only by a US government military facility. The response to this monkey wrench thrown into the governments propaganda, was the FBIs frame-up of a dead man, Bruce Edwards Ivins, who had been employed in the military lab that produced the anthrax and was driven to suicide by the false charges. The dead mans colleagues did not believe one word of the governments false story, and nothing in the dead mans past indicated any motive or instability that would have led him to such a deed. Initially, the US government tried to frame up Steven Jay Hatfill, but despite the best efforts of the New York Times and Nicholas Kristof the attempt to frame Hatfill failed. Hatfill received $5 million from the US government for the false accusation that ruined his life. So the corrupt US government moved on to Ivins. Ivins was dead and couldnt defend himself, but his colleagues did. The entire episode stinks to high heaven. Justice is something that exists outside the borders of the United States. Never expect to find justice within the United States. Most Americans are unaware of the extent to which the federal government owns the experts who can contradict its fairy tales. For example, no competent physicist can possibly believe the official story of the destruction of the three WTC buildings. But physics departments in US universities are heavily dependent on federal money. Any physicist who speaks his mind jeopardizes not only his own career but also the career of all of his colleagues. Physicist Steven Jones, who first pointed to the use of thermite in the destruction of the two towers had to agree to having his university buy out his tenure or his university was faced with losing all federal financing. The same constraints operate in the private sector. High rise architects and structural engineers who express doubts about the official explanation of the collapse of three skyscrapers are viewed by potential clients as Muslim apologists and conspiracy kooks. The clients, of course, have no expert knowledge with which to assess the issue, but they are indoctrinated with ceaseless, endless, repetition that 9/11 was Osama bin Ladens attack on America. Their indoctrination makes them immune to facts. The 9/11 lie has persisted for 13 years. Millions of Muslims have paid for this lie with their lives, the destruction of their families, and with their dislocation. Most Americans remain comfortable with the fact that their government has destroyed in whole or part seven countries based on a lie Washington told to cover up an inside job that launched the crazed neoconservatives drive for Washingtons World Empire.

1	Catcher Jason Varitek's entrance into the Boston clubhouse Tuesday was punctuated by startled shouts and the clatter of dropped objects, as his Red Sox teammates explained that they had all just assumed the veteran player had died. 'I could have sworn he died after the All-Star break,' second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who sent flowers and a card to Varitek's family, told reporters. 'I don't remember seeing him on base at all last season, much less in the lineup or catching. I thought that's why we got Victor [Martinez], because Jason was dead. Right?' Though Pedroia insisted that it was good to see his teammate again, he was still not entirely convinced that Varitek was not dead after watching him take a round of batting practice. 
2	Mike Rowe Absolutely Crushes Obama In Debate Of Gun Control Mike Rowe made a long Facebook post attacking Obama on the topic of gun control. We couldnt agree with him more. Hello Friends For some reason, I was not among those celebrities selected to assist The White House in this endeavor. Ive since recovered from my initial disappointment, and identified three possible explanations for the oversight. 1. The White House did not ask for my assistance, because they do not believe Im famous enough to persuade anyone of anything. With respect to #1, The White House is correct. My powers of persuasion, like my celebrity, are limited. Currently, thousands of people deemed mentally incompetent by the courts are NOT registered in our National Check System. Thats insane, if youll pardon the irony, in part because its so easily correctible. Likewise, The ATF says that most states report less than 80% of their felony convictions to the national system. As a result, nearly 7 million convicted felons are not currently registered. Is it any surprise that nearly every mass killer in recent memory passed a background check? Seems to me, our current system is only as good as the records in it, and right now, those records are laughably incomplete. But even more troubling are the tens of thousands of people who ARE in the system, that keep trying to buy guns illegally with absolutely no consequence. Lying on your application to purchase a firearm is a federal offense, but very few are prosecuted for doing so. According to Politico, the Feds have prosecuted just 1.5% of all those individuals who have attempted to purchase a gun illegally. If my math is correct, that means 98.5% of people who are NOT allowed to own a gun, have not been prosecuted for trying to buy one. Maybe its a manpower problem? Maybe its a resource problem? But whatever the reason, many thousands of individuals who try to purchase a gun illegally are allowed to keep on trying. Many eventually succeed, and then use that gun in the commission of a crime. This strikes me a serious problem. And yet, Ive received no tweets from my favorite action heroes, asking me to support an effort to fix the system we have. Why is that? To be clear, Im not a member of The NRA. Last time I joined a club it was The Boy Scouts, and that was a long time ago. But from what I can tell, the NRA is not the reason that so many criminals and lunatics are able to buy guns today. Nor do they appear to oppose the kind of overhaul that would give us a more effective check system. In fact, wasnt it The NRA that demanded background checks back in the mid-nineties, the moment the technology was first made available? Regardless, we now possess the technology to update and maintain an accurate data base of felons, lunatics, gang members, terrorists, B-list celebrities, and other unsavory types that we can all agree should never be allowed to own a weapon. We also possess the ability to identify and prosecute anyone who attempts to buy a gun illegally. But if we dont have the resources or the commitment to administer and enforce the system we have, why in the world would we want to make it bigger? #When your foundation is shaky, you dont keep building on top of it, you knock it down and start over. Hey it seems to be working for Trump Mike What an awesome man. He has our full support. Do you agree that gun control is counterproductive? 
2	Man Goes In Target With Hidden Camera, Proves Bathroom Policies So Much Worse Than We Thought Target is quickly losing popularity this week, after making the controversial announcement that they were going to start letting transgender men and women use the restrooms of the sex they identify with. The public was quick to express their outrage, as well as their concern for women and children who could be prey to someone up to no good. So just how real is the threat? One Florida man decided to test it out. According to a video he posted on April 23, Andy Park entered a Target very obviously dressed as a man. He asked the manager if he could use the womens bathroom. His phone was hanging out of his shirt, and he was very clearly filming the entire encounter. The manager responded that he could use the bathroom without flinchingand he didnt even go on to warn him against filming. In fact, he reassured Park that if any of the women had a problem, he would speak to them. This man could be anyone, a pervert filming your wife or daughter, but Target is too concerned about being politically correct to car. This is outrageous. Clearly, Targets new policy poses a danger to wives and daughters, a petition by the AFA read. We think many customers will agree. And we think the average Target customer is willing to pledge to boycott Target stores until it makes protecting women and children a priority. Over a half a million Americas have already signed the petition. What do you think? Will you boycott target? 
2	Lester Holt Gets DEVASTATING News After Being Unfair To Trump During The Debate It didnt take long for presidential debate moderator Lester Holt to outrage Americans everywhere with his bias. Many believe he effectively rigged the proceedings on Monday night in favor of Hillary Clinton by continually questioning Donald Trump. Of course, Trump isnt taking this lightly. On Tuesday morning he appeared on Fox Friends to slam Holt, and even offering up a grade for him. I give him a C, C+, Trump commented. I thought he was okay, I thought he was fine. I mean nothing outstanding. He gave me very unfair questions at the end, the last three, four questions, but Im not complaining about that. I thought he was okay. Trump also maintained that Clinton did not win the debate, no matter what the liberal polls say. I thought she was very bad in the first half when they were asking normal questions and when they were asking unfair questions, she got better, he concluded. Watch the full interview below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Trump? FOX Friends (@foxandfriends) September 27, 2016 
1	In what it is touting as 'a fun, delicious new way to combat Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder,' Ritalin manufacturer Novartis unveiled Ritalin Gummis Monday. 'Good news, parents: Controlling your kids' wandering attention spans and erratic, impulsive behavior just got yummier,' said Novartis director of product development Charles Bentley. 'Available in five fruity flavors, Ritalin Gummis will soon be available at pharmacies and Brach's Pick-A-Mix displays everywhere.' If the product is successful, Novartis rival Eli Lilly said it will likely move forward with a tart, sugary antidepressant tentatively dubbed 'Paxil Stix.' 
1	The U.S. economy ceased to function this week after unexpected existential remarks by Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke shocked Americans into realizing that money is, in fact, just a meaningless and intangible social construct. Calling it 'basically no more than five rectangular strips of paper,' Fed chairman Ben Bernanke illustrates how much '$200' is actually worth. What began as a routine report before the Senate Finance Committee Tuesday ended with Bernanke passionately disavowing the entire concept of currency, and negating in an instant the very foundation of the world's largest economy. 'Though raising interest rates is unlikely at the moment, the Fed will of course act appropriately if weif we' said Bernanke, who then paused for a moment, looked down at his prepared statement, and shook his head in utter disbelief. 'You know what? It doesn't matter. None of thisthis so-called 'money'really matters at all.' 'It's just an illusion,' a wide-eyed Bernanke added as he removed bills from his wallet and slowly spread them out before him. 'Just look at it: Meaningless pieces of paper with numbers printed on them. Worthless.' According to witnesses, Finance Committee members sat in thunderstruck silence for several moments until Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) finally shouted out, 'Oh my God, he's right. It's all a mirage. All of itthe money, our whole economyit's all a lie!' Screams then filled the Senate Chamber as lawmakers and members of the press ran for the exits, leaving in their wake aisles littered with the remains of torn currency. U.S. markets closed as traders left their jobs and resolved for once to do or make something, anything of real value. As news of the nation's collectively held delusion spread, the economy ground to a halt, with dumbfounded citizens everywhere walking out on their jobs as they contemplated the little green drawings of buildings and dead white men they once used to measure their adequacy and importance as human beings. At the New York Stock Exchange, Wednesday morning's opening bell echoed across a silent floor as the few traders who arrived for work out of habit looked up blankly at the meaningless scrolling numbers on the flashing screens above. 'I've spent 25 years in this room yelling 'Buy, buy! Sell, sell!' and for what?' longtime trader Michael Palermo said. 'All I've done is move arbitrary designations of wealth from one column to another, wasting my life chasing this unattainable hallucination of wealth.' 'What a cruel cosmic joke,' he added. 'I'm going home to hug my daughter.' Sources at the White House said President Obama was 'still trying to get his head around all this' and was in seclusion with his coin collection, muttering 'it's just metal, it's just metal' over and over again. 'The president will be making a statement very soon,' press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters. 'At the moment, though, his mind is just too blown to comment.' A few U.S. banks have remained open, though most teller windows are unmanned due to a lack of interest in transactions involving mere scraps of paper or, worse, decimal points and computer data signifying mere scraps of paper. At a Bank of America branch in Spokane, WA, curious former customers wandered aimlessly through a large empty vault, while several would-be robbers of a Chase bank in Columbus, OH reportedly put their guns down and exited the building hand in hand with security guards, laughing over the inherent absurdity of the idea of $100 bills. Likewise, the real estate industry has all but vanished, with mortgage lenders seeing no reason to stop people from reclaiming their foreclosed-upon homes. 'I don't even know what we were thinking in the first place,' said former banker Nathan Collins of Brandon, MS, as he jimmyed open a door to allow a single mother and her five children to move back into their house. 'A bunch of people sign a bunch of papers, and now this family has no place to live? That's just plain ludicrous.' The realization that money is nothing more than an elaborate head game seems to have penetrated the entire country: In Wilmington, DE, for instance, a collection agent reportedly broke down in joyful sobs when he informed a woman on the other end of the phone that he had absolutely no reason to harass her anymore, as her Discover Card debt was no longer comprehensible. For some Americans, the fog of disbelief surrounding the nation's epiphany has begun to lift, with many building new lives free from the illusion of money. 'It's back to basics for me,' Bernard Polk of Waverly, OH said. 'I'm going to till the soil for my own sustenance and get anything else I need by bartering. If I want milk, I'll pay for it in tomatoes. If need a new hoe, I'll pay for it in lettuce.' When asked, hypothetically, how he would pay for complicated life-saving surgery for a loved one, Polk seemed uncertain. 'That's a lot of vegetables, isn't it?' he said. 
2	Offended Muslims Threaten Clint Eastwood: Follow Our Commands Or Else... Clint Eastwoods new box office hit American Sniper has been receiving rave reviews by most. Of course, the movie has also been raising some heated political debates. According to Sameer Khalaf, President of American-Arab Anti-Discrimination, American Sniper sends a message that is designed to ignite hate against Muslims in America. Now, Khalaf is asking that both Clint Eastwood and Bradley Cooper make efforts to change that message closer to something like: Arabs are Americans and Muslims are Americans. The fact that there has been a rise in hostility towards the Muslim community in America is more likely due to the actions carried out by Muslim extremists, rather than the actions of Hollywood, Conservative Tribune rightly noted in their report of the incident. It seems that Khalaf is not alone in his sentiment, but many wonder how a movie that is a true account of events could be truthfully changed to meet the needs of the Muslim communities. What do you think? Is it recent events rather than the movie that is causing the uproar? Can a movie be responsible for the sentiment felt by a nation? 
2	Hispanic Reporter Tries To Hijack Trumps Speech So He Does Something UNTHINKABLE [VIDEO] According to recent reports, Donald Trump recently got into it with a Telemundo reporter following a visit to the U.S.-Mexico border. During the vent, Trump confronted reporter Jose Diaz-Balart when he tried to ask the presidential candidate a question about his comments on illegal immigrants. 54 million plus Hispanicsmany feel that what you said when you said that the people who crosses the border are rapists and murderers, Diaz-Balart began. No, no, no, Trump interrupted. Were talking about illegal immigration and everybody understands that. And you know what, thats a typical casewait, thats a typical case of the press with misinterpretation. They take a half a sentencethey take a half a sentence, then they take quarter of a sentence and put it all together. Its a typical thing. When Diaz-Balart tried to push back, Trump shot back, No, no, youre finished. Watch the interaction below and tell us what you think. Was Trump right to shut this reporter down? 
2	BREAKING: Legendary NFL Star Found Dead At 29... Please Pray This week, the world received the shocking news that former New England Patriots star Ron Brace was found dead at his Springfield home on Saturday. He was only 29 years old. Though the cause of Braces death is still unknown, his fans have started speaking out. Brace was drafted y the Patriots in 2009 and played 39 times for the team in the next four seasons. He started his career at Boston College, and was ultimately released from his contract with the Patriots in 2012. At that time, he signed for the Washington Redskins, though he never played for them. He retired from the NFL in 2013. We were deeply saddened to hear the news this morning of Ron Braces death, the Patriots claimed in a statement. Seven years ago, we drafted Ron after his standout career at Boston College. During his Patriots career, the Springfield native was always eager to volunteer and give back in our communities, especially when those community initiatives were held in Western Mass. It is difficult to believe that someone so young and in the prime of his life is no longer with us, the statement continued. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Rons family, friends and the many former teammates who will mourn Rons passing. Boston College also issued a heartfelt statement and offered their prayers to Braces family. Please keep this young stars family and friends in your thoughts today. This is a tragic loss. 
2	Leaked Pictures Of Mike Brown Show Who He Really Was Once again, the media appears to be telling the public the half-truth when it comes to the shooting of Michael Brown. The media has been trying to paint the victim as being guilt-free, while Facebook once again reveals his true character. In fact, judging by Browns presence on social media, he was in fact a young thug who seemed to have major problems with authority. Some newly leaked photos show Brown giving the camera the finger. What do you think? Should the media be held accountable? Do they need to be telling the full story? 
2	Greg Abbott Becomes The Second Governor To Directly Defy Obamas Orders Governor Snyder of Michigan recently announced that he will no longer be allowing Syrian refugees into his state. Gov. Greg Abbott is following in his tracks as he just announced the same thing. Obama is quickly losing compliance from the officials of our nation. The safety of the American people comes first, above all. We can not let Syrian Refugees in until security is tightened to a point that ensures our safety. This is the beginning of something huge. We hope that more Governors will follow in their tracks. Do you think we should keep Syrian Refugees out of the United States? 
3	The lying liars who lie about psychiatryJon Rappoport Its a winning strategy, because most Americans dont have a clue about the way psychiatry actually works or its pose of being a science. The public hears techno-speak and nods and surrenders. If psychiatrists are experts on the human mind, mice can navigate the Arctic in canoes. But psychiatrists are educated to be able to talk a good game. And politicians are more than happy to mouth vagaries, and consign the problems of society to mental-health professionals. It turns out that the phrase mental health was invented by psyops specialists, who needed to create an analogy to physical well-being. The needed to, because the mind was (and is) a mystery to psychiatrists. An open secret has been slowly bleeding out into public consciousness for the past ten years. THERE ARE NO DEFINITIVE LABORATORY TESTS FOR ANY SO-CALLED MENTAL DISORDER. And along with that: ALL SO-CALLED MENTAL DISORDERS ARE CONCOCTED, NAMED, LABELED, DESCRIBED, AND CATEGORIZED by a committee of psychiatrists, from menus of human behaviors. For years, even psychiatrists have been blowing the whistle on this hazy crazy process of research. Of course, pharmaceutical companies, who manufacture highly toxic drugs to treat every one of these disorders, are leading the charge to invent more and more mental-health categories, so they can sell more drugs and make more money. But we have a mind-boggling twist. Under the radar, one of the great psychiatric stars, who has been out in front inventing mental disorders, went public. He blew the whistle on himself and his colleagues. And for 2 years, almost no one noticed. His name is Dr. Allen Frances, and he made VERY interesting statements to Gary Greenberg, author of a Wired article: Inside the Battle to Define Mental Illness. (Dec.27, 2010). Major media never picked up on the interview in any serious way. It never became a scandal. Dr. Allen Frances is the man who, in 1994, headed up the project to write the latest edition of the psychiatric bible, the DSM-IV. This tome defines and labels and describes every official mental disorder. The DSM-IV eventually listed 297 of them. In an April 19, 1994, New York Times piece, Scientist At Work, Daniel Goleman called Frances Perhaps the most powerful psychiatrist in America at the moment Well, sure. If youre sculpting the entire canon of diagnosable mental disorders for your colleagues, for insurers, for the government, for Pharma (who will sell the drugs matched up to the 297 DSM-IV diagnoses), youre right up there in the pantheon. Long after the DSM-IV had been put into print, Dr. Frances talked to Wireds Greenberg and said the following: There is no definition of a mental disorder. Its bullshit. I mean, you just cant define it. BANG. Thats on the order of the designer of the Hindenburg, looking at the burned rubble on the ground, remarking, Well, I knew there would be a problem. After a suitable pause, Dr. Frances remarked to Greenberg, These concepts [of distinct mental disorders] are virtually impossible to define precisely with bright lines at the borders. Frances might have been referring to the fact that his baby, the DSM-IV, had rearranged earlier definitions of ADHD and Bipolar to permit many MORE diagnoses, leading to a vast acceleration of drug-dosing with highly powerful and toxic compounds. Finally, at the end of the Wired interview, Frances flew off into a bizarre fantasy: Diagnosis [as spelled out in the DSM-IV] is part of the magicyou know those medieval maps? In the places where they didnt know what was going on, they wrote Dragons live herewe have a dragons world here. But you wouldnt want to be without the map. Translation: Patients need hope for the healing of their troubles; so even if we psychiatrists are shooting blanks and pretending to know one kind of mental disorder from another, even if were inventing these mental-disorder definitions based on no biological or chemical diagnostic testsits a good thing, because patients will then believe and have hope; theyll believe it because psychiatrists place a name on their problems Needless to say, this has nothing to do with science. If I were an editor at one of the big national newspapers, and one of my reporters walked in and told me, The most powerful psychiatrist in America just said the DSM is sheer b.s. but its still important, I think Id make room on the front page. If the reporter then added, This shrink was in charge of creating the DSM-IV, Id clear more room above the fold. If the reporter went on to explain that the whole profession of psychiatry would collapse overnight if the DSM was discredited, Id call for a special section of the paper to be printed. Id tell the reporter to get ready to pound on this story day after day for months. Id tell him to track down all the implications of Dr. Frances statements. Id open a bottle of champagne to toast the soon-to-be-soaring sales of my newspaper. And then, of course, the next day Id be fired. Because there are powerful multi-billion-dollar interests at stake, and those people dont like their deepest secrets exposed in the press. And as I walked out of my job, Id see a bevy of blank-eyed pharmaceutical executives marching into the office of the papers publisher, ready to read the riot act to him. Dr. Frances work on the DSM-IV allowed for MORE toxic drugs to be prescribed, because the definition of Bipolar was expanded to include more people. Adverse effects of Valproate (given for a Bipolar diagnosis) include: Adverse effects of Risperdal (given for Bipolar and irritability stemming from autism) include: Dr. Frances label-juggling act also permitted the definition of ADHD to expand, thereby opening the door for greater and greater use of toxic Ritalin (and other similar compounds) as the treatment of choice. So what about Ritalin? In 1986, The International Journal of the Addictions published a most important literature review by Richard Scarnati. It was called An Outline of Hazardous Side Effects of Ritalin (Methylphenidate) [v.21(7), pp. 837-841]. Scarnati listed a large number of adverse affects of Ritalin and cited published journal articles which reported each of these symptoms. For every one of the following (selected and quoted verbatim) Ritalin effects, there is at least one confirming source in the medical literature: A recent survey revealed that a high percentage of children diagnosed with bipolar had first received a diagnosis of ADHD. This is informative, because Ritalin and other speed-type drugs are given to kids who are slapped with the ADHD label. Speed, sooner or later, produces a crash. This is easy to call clinical depression. Then comes Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft. These drugs can produce temporary highs, followed by more crashes. The psychiatrist notices the up and down patternand then produces a new diagnosis of Bipolar (manic-depression) and other drugs, including Valproate and Lithium. In the US alone, there are at least 300,000 cases of motor brain damage incurred by people who have been prescribed so-called anti-psychotic drugs (aka major tranquilizers). Risperdal (mentioned above as a drug given to people diagnosed with Bipolar) is one of those major tranquilizers. (source: Toxic Psychiatry, Dr. Peter Breggin, St. Martins Press, 1991) This psychiatric drug plague is accelerating across the land. Where are the mainstream reporters and editors and newspapers and TV anchors who should be breaking this story and mercilessly hammering on it week after week? They are in harness. And Dr. Frances is somehow let off the hook. Hes admitted in print that the whole basis of his profession is throwing darts at labels on a wall, and implies the effort is rather heroicwhen, in fact, the effort leads to more and more poisonous drugs being dispensed to adults and children, to say nothing of the effect of being diagnosed with a mental disorder. Im not talking about the mental-disease stigma, the removal of which is one of Hillary Clintons missions in life. No, Im talking about MOVING A HUMAN INTO THE SYSTEM, the medical apparatus, where the essence of the game is trapping that person to harvest his money, his time, his energy, and of course his healthas one new diagnosis follows on another, and one new toxic treatment after another is undertaken, from cradle to grave. The result is a severely debilitated human being (if he survives), whose major claim to fame is his list of diseases and disorders. Thank you, Dr. Frances. Here is a smoking-gun statement made by another prominent psychiatrist, on an episode of PBS Frontline series. The episode was: Does ADHD Exist? PBS FRONTLINE INTERVIEWER: Skeptics say that theres no biological markerthat it [ADHD] is the one condition out there where there is no blood test, and that no one knows what causes it. BARKLEY (Dr. Russell Barkley, professor of psychiatry and neurology at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center): Thats tremendously nave, and it shows a great deal of illiteracy about science and about the mental health professions. A disorder doesnt have to have a blood test to be valid. If that were the case, all mental disorders would be invalidThere is no lab test for any mental disorder right now in our science. That doesnt make them invalid. [Emphasis added] Without intending to, Dr. Barkley blows the whistle on his own profession. So lets take Dr. Barkley to school. Medical science, and disease-research in particular, rests on the notion that you can make a diagnosis backed up by lab tests. If you cant produce lab tests, youre spinning fantasies. These fantasies might be hopeful, they might be educated guesses, they might be launched from traditional centers of learning, they might be backed up by billions of dollars of grant moneybut theyre still fantasies. If I said the moon was made of green cheese, even if I were a Harvard professor, sooner or later someone would ask me to produce a sample of moon rock to be tested for cheese qualities. I might begin to feel nervous, I might want to tap dance around the issue, but I would have to submit the rock to a lab. Dr. Barkley employs a version of logical analysis in his statement to the PBS Frontline interviewer. Barkley is essentially saying, There is no lab test for any mental disorder. But if a test were the standard of proof, we wouldnt have science at all, and that would mean our whole profession rests on nothingand that is absurd, so therefore a test doesnt matter. That logic is no logic at all. Barkley is proving the case against himself. He just doesnt want to admit it. Close to 50 years ago, psychiatry was dying out as a profession. Fewer and fewer people wanted to see a psychiatrist for help, for talk therapy. All sorts of new therapies were popping up. The competition was leaving medical psychiatry in the dust. As Dr. Peter Breggin describes it in his landmark book, Toxic Psychiatry, a deal was struck. Drug companies would bankroll psychiatry and rescue it. These companies would pour money into professional conferences, journals, research. In return, they wanted science that would promote mental disease as a biological fact, a gateway into the drugs. Everyone would winexcept the patient. So the studies were rolled out, and the list of mental disorders expanded. The FDA was in on the deal as well, as evidenced by their drug safety approvals, in the face of the obvious damage these drugs were doing. So this is how we arrived at where we are. This was the plan, and it worked. Under the cover story, it was all fraud all the time. Without much of a stretch, you could say psychiatry has been the most widespread profiling operation in the history of the human race. Its goal has been to bring humans everywhere into its system. It hardly matters which label a person is painted with, as long as it adds up to a diagnosis and a prescription of drugs. And now, in the wake of the Aurora and Sandy Hook shootings, it matters even less who or how many people are labeled with mental disorders. The more the better, as far as government is concerned. Just as in the old USSR, psychiatry becomes an instrument of oppression, a way to discredit any person the State wants to silence and destroy. in the disputes between the East and West concerning the Russian opponents of the Soviet regime [m]any dissidents went to lunatic asylums and were treated as mentally sick. Western doctors and the press accused Soviet doctors of being blind instruments of the regime and of having broken the solemn oath of their calling. The Russian doctors thought the West had gone mad in reproaching their behavior. For them, anyone who opposed such an efficient police power must be mentally disturbed. In their view, only those who had what Seneca called Libido morienti (the death wish) would dare to provoke the State. The Russian doctors were convinced that they were undertaking a humanitarian mission by placing the opponents of the regime in asylums and thereby reducing their aggressionthe only hope for their survival. To reduce the outstanding to mediocrity was always a medical and human duty in a state where mediocrity had the better chance of survival.

1	They don't come much more dedicated than nine-year-old Sibu Sandakan. Unlike most boys his age, who would rather spend their free time skateboarding or hanging out at the mall, this generous youngster spends every chance he gets doing volunteer work. Sibu Sandakan of Surabaya, Indonesia, loves to pitch in at the local Nike factory. He sews together athletic shoes all day long, getting nothing in return except the satisfaction of helping others. Seven days a week, young Sibu helps out at the Nike athletic shoe factory in nearby Malang. Sewing tongues into the company's new Air Attack 4.0s for upwards of 15 hours a day, he receives almost no pay at all other than the satisfaction of helping others. Ever since he was six, Sibu has dedicated himself to turning out the best athletic shoe he possibly can, getting just three cents an hour in return. A true rarity these days, this youngster doesn't mind putting in an honest day's work. But doesn't the lack of money ever bother him at all? 'I do not wish to lose my job,' the modest Sibu said. 'If I lose my job, my family may starve.' Though thousands of Surabayans pitch in at the massive, 12-acre shoe factoryincluding seven of Sibu's brothers and sistersco-workers say Sibu stands head and shoulders above the rest. 'He never collapses at the machine,' said Bandang Palopo, a Nike Air Attack sewing room supervisor. 'That is very unusual for a child so young. Even many of the 12-year-olds break down from the stench and heat.' And it's not just Sibu's supervisors who are impressed by the youngster's tremendous effort. Sibu's parents are also extremely proud of their go-getter son. 'We have no choice but to make him work,' his father, Kubong Sandakan, said. 'If we do not, we would not have even a piece of bread.' Sibu's mother gushed as well. 'The factory provides the only steady work in the entire area,' she said. 'If Sibu were to quit, there would be 3,000 children there the next morning, hoping to take his place.' 'My son is like the walking dead,' she added. According to Sibu's shift supervisor, if he keeps up the good work, he may soon be transferred to the Ladies MaxxGel Cross Trainer room. 'That would be very nice,' Sibu said. 'There is a small fan in that room.' And unlike those in the Air Attack room, MaxxGel room workers are permitted to take an unpaid lunch break. Though he's thousands of miles away, Sibu's good work hasn't gone unnoticed in America, either. Ron Ellis, 32, a Phoenix-area accountant and avid jogger, recently purchased a pair of Air Attacks whose tongues were sewn in by Sibu. While Ellis knew nothing of Sibu, he immediately sensed the young Indian boy's dedication and craftsmanship when he first tried on the shoes. 'They feel terrific,' Ellis said. 'I think I'll go for a run in them after work today.' Ellis added that he hopes to run at least three times a week this spring, though his busy schedule may make it difficult. 'It's just so hard to make time, you know?' he said. 'You slave away all week in the office, and you'd think you could find a few hours after work to go jogging, or at least head down to the club for a swim.' Despite Ellis' high praise for his work, Sibu shouldn't get too cockythere's competition on the way. Next year, his six-year-old brother Jambi begins work at the factory. And some say Jambi will be even better than his illustrious older brother. 'Jambi has a fine, sturdy frame,' said Midan Lampung, a local Nike recruiter. 'I believe he will grow into a productive worker, one with good resistance to injury and disease.' Until that time, though, Sibu is the star. 'Sibu is a good worker. He is not a complainer,' Palopo said. 'We do not want children who complain.' When asked for comment on Sibu, Nike director of overseas operations Phillip Diedricks said he is 'not familiar with the boy.' 
1	Cleveland-area resident Douglas Torricelli, 34, announced Monday that his full-time job with Seifert's Cement and Gravel, which he has held for nearly two years, is a shitty fuckin' job. 'I don't know why I work in that shit hole,' he said. 'That's one shitty fuckin' job I've got.' Torricelli cited as key reasons for his announcement the job's long-ass hours and bullshit pay. He went on to strongly condemn his fat, asshole boss and the stupid fucking idiots he has to work with. He also assailed the goddamned bus he must ride every morning, which he claims is a living hell. Added Torricelli: 'I could care less about fucking Seifert's Cement and Gravel.' Torricelli is expected to arrive at work tomorrow morning as scheduled. 
1	On the eve of the Republican National Convention, GOP officials have announced that the three-day event will feature a solid, all-star lineup of the partys most prominent female listeners. A veritable whos who of conservative women are scheduled to stand on the convention floor and listen attentively to what each male speaker has to say about the major issues facing our country, RNC communications director Sean Spicer said Monday, confirming that an impressive variety of blond, smiling women with perfectly maintained hair and jewelry will be on prominent display and seated near television cameras. I would say this is one of the most impressive rosters of dead-silent female Republicans wearing nice dresses that weve ever had at the convention. Spicer also reassured convention-goers that the solid roster of women listeners had all been informed not to get in the way too much and, if possible, to show slightly more cleavage. 
2	Rosie ODonnell May Be Fired For Extremist Liberal Views Rosie ODonnel continues to make headlines with her outlandish and ridiculous political views. Known as a liberal extremist, Rosie has time and time again pushed the boundaries, but this time, she might have stepped too far. Only a few weeks ago, Rosie stirred controversy by claiming that black men were becoming endangered species because so many of them were being killed by police. FOX News reports, that Rosie is on thin ice, and may be losing her job at The View. Rosie ODonnell may be getting axed from The View again. The comedians impossibly rude attitude is bringing down the whole operation, well-placed production sources told TMZ, prompting executives to take action. The 52-year-old most likely wont finish out the current season and another season is out of the question. When ODonnell returned to the daytime talk show this year following her tumultuous 2007 exit, she was outraged upon learning that moderator Whoopi Goldberg would not be dethroned from the position shes held since 2007, the website reported. What do you think, should Rosie be fired from The View?

3	Media Pushing for TSA Security on TrainsBy Joshua Krause There doesnt seem to be many safeguards at all. You can run right up to the train and get on, without anyone stopping you or asking you any questions, one passenger said as if it was a bad thing. The CBS report comes from an article that was cleverly titled Trains Could Soon See Airport-Level Security despite providing no evidence that this was going to occur in the immediate future. In fact, cities like Philadelphia are planning to shut down train stations, rather than turning them into checkpoints. In reality, the CBS report reads like a promo of Homeland Securitys capabilities, and a plea for more funding. After the recent movie theater shooting in Louisiana, the media also started calling for heightened security at movie theaters. If you ask me, it sounds like the mainstream media is thoroughly conditioning the population to accept a police state in America. Do you think they know something that we dont? 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. This makes me sick!!! NO NO NO!!!! No more security. We have too much of it. Get rid of it! Your opinion is not noted, the parasites in charge feel very threatened and until you are chipped and monitored 24/7 they will continue to feel so. Oh they will want a remote kill switch on that chip to limit the stress and risk their uniformed goons are subject to while getting rid of you. exactly ! amen ! NO! A BILLION more TSA agents! Put them in public restrooms, broom closets, the MEDIAs closets and bathrooms at home.. Put them in TV studios, ON CAMERA; in fact, LET TSA GOONS present the national and local news! Put one beside every desk and cubicle. Let the sons-of-bitches know what their crowing for more security actually MEANS. I have already seen TSA at several AMTRAK stations and they are now starting to infiltrate at many of the larger Greyhound bus stations. I do not consider that to be lawful and refuse to respond to their orders at any place other than congressionally authorized airports. Those are bad enough. They are already using their VIPR stops of private vehicles on interstates in Ohio and Tennessee. Anyone not a member of my state or local police that attempts to stop my car WILL be run down. 
1	During a search for evidence at the Neverland Valley Ranch, investigators discovered a corpse that has been identified as that of Michael Jackson, Santa Barbara police officials announced Tuesday. 'Coroners have officially pronounced Michael Jackson dead. From what we can tell, he died between 18 and 20 years ago,' forensic investigator Tim Holbrooke said. 'We are not certain, at this time, whoor whathas been standing trial in that Santa Maria courthouse.' According to Holbrooke, Jackson's corpse was buried just inches below a stretch of the miniature-train tracks that run throughout Neverland. The largely desiccated corpse wore the remains of a red, zipper-covered leather jacket and a single glove. 'We positively identified the body as Jackson by his dental records and DNA,' Holbrooke said. 'But even before we conducted a single forensic test, we began to suspect that that we'd uncovered the real Michael, and that the disturbing figure claiming to be Jackson was a fake.' Holbrooke said that, although the corpse was in an advanced stage of decomposition, when investigators compared the body to early-career publicity photos of Jackson, they saw a striking resemblance in bone structure and facial features. But when they compared the body to photos taken after 1987, the resemblance was negligible. 'This discovery raises a lot of questions, but it also sheds light on a number of disturbing incidents,' Holbrooke said. 'Frankly, Jackson had been acting pretty strange.' Investigators move Jackson's body, found buried at Neverland Ranch (above). Forensic experts and music critics are postulating that Jackson was dead before the release of the multi-platinum album Bad. Detectives are currently analyzing the lyrics to 'Man In The Mirror' for any clues relating to a look-alike entity that many suspect murdered the youngest member of the Jackson 5 and assumed his identity. 'We believe that Neverland served as some sort of freakishly whimsical tomb constructed by Jackson's killer,' Holbrooke said. 'We also suspect that all of the iniquities that occurred on that ranch were the work of the imposter. I wouldn't have ever thought it possible, but we are looking at a situation where the sexual abuse of a 13-year-old cancer patient is the tip of the iceberg.' Holbrooke said that, while the living Jackson is the leading suspect in the murder investigation, he 'could be another victim of some sort.' 'Basically, we have no idea what type of creature we are dealing with,' Holbrooke said. A member of the investigative team that discovered Jackson's body described the experience as 'otherworldly.' 'As we neared the perimeter of Neverland, the dogs started whining and howling like crazy,' Santa Barbara County detective Frank Poeller said. 'We had to pull them into the house. When we got to Jackson's bedroom, one of them almost choked himself to death on his leash trying to get out through the window. Minutes later, the same dog led us to the corpse.' A representative from Jackson's self-created label, MJJ Productions, said he was not surprised to find out that the current Jackson is an imposter. 'When we were recording 'Heal The World' for Dangerous, I could tell something was terribly, terribly wrong,' MJJ manager Luke Allard said. 'Michael didn't seem like himself anymore. He'd demand bizarre food and sit for hours in a hyperbaric chamber. His appearance began to become more and more peculiar. Soon afterwards, he started wearing a mask and confiding in a chimpanzee.' 'I remember thinking, 'This man has become a monster,'' Allard said. 'If only I'd known how right I was.' The creature that claims to be Michael Jackson. Allard said he thinks that the imposter broke ties with Jackson's former friends and surrounded himself with children who were too young to notice the radical change. Vanity Fair reporter Beth Pither visited Neverland in 1994. 'A strangely fearful staff member led me to Jackson, but ran off before I opened the door,' Pither said. 'Standing there with my hand on an ice-cold doorknob, I heard strange, unnatural soundsleathery wings flapping, a sorrowful wail, and loud hissing. A wave of dread passed through me as I opened the door, but all I found was Michael and some kids in pajamas eating ice cream and watching 101 Dalmatians.' While their claims have not been corroborated, other Neverland visitors have reported that when Jackson entered a room, lights flickered, faucets ran blood-red, and screams escaped from the walls. To aid in the investigation, the FBI enlisted Dr. Richard Weingarden, a noted expert on the paranormal from UC Santa Barbara. After only two hours, Weingarden abandoned the project. 'The smell of sulfur, the decaying facial features, the bizarrely high-pitched voiceit sounds exactly like...' Weingarden said, trailing off. 'I'm sure it's nothing. Not a big deal. Nothing to be terrified about, certainly. I have to go. I've got a family.' Thomas Sneddon, the prosecutor in Jackson's child-molestation lawsuit, said it remains to be seen how the shocking discovery will affect the trial. Megan Gustafson, who left her post as president of the Akron, OH Michael Jackson Fan Club after the singer was accused of molestation, offered a positive view of the grisly revelation. 'This is very disturbing news,' Gustafson said. 'But to be honest, it's kind of a relief too. Thriller and Off The Wall are really amazing records. Now I can pull them out of my 'ruined by child abuse' storage bin and start listening to them again.' 
3	By Unilaterally Changing Obamacare, Obama Is Making A Mockery Of The ConstitutionMichael Snyder And as Stanford Law School Professor Michael McConnell wrote back in July, the Office of Legal Counsel for the Justice Department has always insisted that the president has no authority, as one such memo put it in 1990, to refuse to enforce a statute he opposes for policy reasons. This is an open and shut case. If the U.S. Congress still had a shred of respect for the Constitution, they would immediately demand that Obama enforce the law as written. If Obama refused, they should immediately impeach him. We are a country that is run by the rule of law, and just because Obamas new law completely screws up one-sixth of the economy does not mean that he can unilaterally change it. In our system, Congress makes the laws and the president enforces them. If we allow any president to unilaterally change laws whenever he does not like them, then that puts us dangerously close to having a dictator in the White House. Yes, Obamacare is an absolute nightmare of a law. Yes, people should be allowed to keep their current health insurance plans. And Obama should actually be trying to keep his original promise by encouraging Congress to allow people to keep their current health insurance plans permanently. He simply does not possess the power to unilaterally change a law by himself. Does the Constitution matter in America anymore? Apparently not. And what Obama is trying to do is not likely to save many health insurance policies anyway. Marc Thiessen recently explained why this is the case For three years, at Obamas direction, insurers and state regulators have been planning to cancel millions of individual market plans and move those people into the Obamacare exchanges at the end of this year. That process cannot be easily reversed six weeks before the transfer was to take place. Insurers did not negotiate prices with doctors and hospitals, or put plans through the state regulatory process. There is no magic wand the president can wave to suddenly reinstate canceled plans. If Obamas fix fails, a humanitarian disaster will ensue. Come Jan. 1, millions of Americans could find themselves without the health coverage Obama promised they could keep. Suddenly, the horror stories we are hearing today of people getting cancellation letters will be replaced by horror stories of cancer patients having their treatment disrupted and sick children being cut off from their doctors and hospitals. The outrage Americans are expressing today will pale by comparison to the outrage that will ensue when people who had insurance before Obamacare cant get medical care they are accustomed to because they lost their plans. Obama cannot force insurance companies to go back and sell the old insurance policies to customers that they have already canceled. And he certainly cannot force state insurance regulators to accept those old plans. For example, the states of Washington and Arkansas have already announced that they will not be allowing insurance companies to extend their old health insurance plans. Other states may soon follow. And as Richard A. Epstein recently noted, many health insurance company executives are absolutely outraged that Obama has now given them a task which will be nearly impossible to accomplish on time A major new disclosure program will need to be built from scratch over the Christmas holidays, on top of a reinstatement process that has to overcome huge hurdles within individual companies who have to reprice their revised policies before gaining regulatory approval on a state-by-state basis. No wonder their executives are up in arms. But even if by some miracle Obamas fix is implemented successfully, there is still the matter that this is completely and totally unconstitutional. The following is how U.S. Senator Rand Paul expressed his concerns the other day Obamacare is not fixable, and the presidents administrative attempts to fix it are unconstitutional, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) told Fox News on Monday. One of the clear separations of powers was that the legislature was supposed to legislate and the president wasnt. Hes essentially amended Obamacare maybe 20- some-odd times, and I dont think hes allowed to. And so I think it needs to be decided in court, Paul said. Yes, this most definitely needs to go to court. But will it? Probably not. Once again the U.S. Congress is going to stand by and watch a president trample all over the Constitution and do nothing about it. Meanwhile, the reality of how horrible Obamacare is turning out to be continues to sink in. For example, a 48-year-old single mother that Obama specifically singled out as an Obamacare success story is now discovering that she cant afford her new health insurance policy after all The CNN report quotes President Obama as saying, I recently received a letter from a woman named Jessica Sanford in Washington state. And heres what she wrote, I am a single mom, no child support, self-employed. and I havent had insurance for 15 years because its too expensive. I was crying the other day when I signed up, so much stress lifted. But days, just really three days after she was mentioned by the president, Jessica Sanford started having problems, she was receiving letters from the Washington state health exchange, reports CNN. The first letter telling her that tax credit was reduced, therefore, increasing the cost of her health care plan and the, take a look at this, then she received a letter just last week telling her that her tax credit had been taken away all together. Show you another document here, showing what the tax credit worked out to be zero dollars according to this document that was provided to us by Jessica Sanford. She describes all of this as a roller coaster ride. Now she says she cant afford insurance in Washington state because of the new developments. So what do you think of Obamacare so far? And what do you think of the fact that Obama is blatantly trampling all over the Constitution?

1	When asked if he needed any special instructions for the safety hatchs use, airline passenger Jeffrey Evars reportedly assured a Delta flight attendant Wednesday that he had both sat in exit rows and opened emergency exit doors many, many times before. Yeah, yeah, I open these all the timedont worry about it, Evars reportedly told the flight attendant, waving her away as he explained that he cracks open the sealed evacuation doors on nearly every plane trip he takes. Trust me, Im an old pro at this. You just crank the lever down and twist it a few times. Its easy. Here, look, Ill pop this one open now. At press time, Evars had opened the emergency exit, deployed the inflatable slide, and left the plane. 
3	State Now Claims It Owns the Wind Taxing Renewable Energy Out of ExistenceBy Matt Agorist The state legislature asked the question, Who owns the wind? Without much debate, the Wyoming legislature quickly determined that the state does. Unlike any other resource derived from the use of private property, which the property owner maintains from surface ownership, the state of Wyoming claims wind is different. So, lawmakers decided to tax it. For the last several years, Wyoming has been taxing the power generated by wind turbines at $1 per megawatt. Do not mistake this tax as part of the regular taxes that already apply to businesses like income tax and employment taxes. No, this is an entirely new tax based solely on the assertion by Wyoming officials that they own the wind. Wind is different than anything else. Its not like a mineral, which is something that sits there in the ground until you go after it, says Bob Whitton, chairman of the Renewable Energy Association of Landowners (REAL). Its not like water that can be put in a lake or pond. The wind blows in and blows out and you cant put it in a pond, pipeline, truck or train and send it somewhere. The question is if wind rights should be severable from surface ownership, says UW Law Professor Dennis Stickley, who has worked on the issue along with a group of graduate students that gave their findings at the recent Wind Energy Task Force meeting in Casper, as reported by WYLR. As a general principle, all rights in property are assignable and transferrable and alienable, and you can transfer title, says Stickley. Moreover, anecdotally there are situations already where landowners have severed wind rights. However, thanks to Wyoming officials, these rights no longer apply. This move by the state is not in the interest of the people, nor it is even in the interest of raising funds for the government. In the four years that its been law, the state has only raised $15 million from taxing the wind. This move is purely retaliatory and meant to stifle new businesses who threaten the dinosaur coal and fossil fuel industrys grip on energy production. Just about every legislator weve met with asks us, You tell us how much we can tax you before we put you out of business, said Bill Miller, chief executive of the Power Co. of Wyoming, which is planning the wind farm. I just shake my head and say, Zero. He said the state was at risk of taxing this project out of existence. And this is by design. There is a current tax of $1 per megawatt hour of wind produced in Wyoming. However, other bills could require setting this amount at perhaps as much as $12 per megawatt hour. Of course, the wind industry isnt completely innocent in this debacle either. For years, many of these companies have flourished thanks largely in part to federal and state subsidies. These subsidies created an artificial boom which sent not only wind technology prices through the roof but also solar. However, as we see now, as the government begins turning off the faucet of subsidies, prices go down. One of the reasons Wyoming is levying this tax is because of these very subsidies. However, like Miller said earlier this year, if they wouldnt be forced to pay higher taxes on the wind, they wouldnt even need the federal money. The cessation of the flow of federal money to startup companies isnt stopping the big energy companies from using their influence over government to wage war on their renewable competition. As the Free Thought Project reported earlier this year, while Nevadans were celebrating the holidays under solar-powered lights, the Nevada Public Utilities Commission (PUC) voted unanimously to increase a monthly fee on solar customers by 40% while reducing the amount they get paid for excess power sold to the grid.Adding insult to injury, they made the rate changes retroactive, sabotaging consumer investments in solar energy. This single move by government regulators is effectively killing the solar industry in Nevada and has 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. 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. As the energy monopolies of the 1900s attempt to prop up their soon-to-be obsolete industry, the smart and ethical ones will figure out ways to adapt. However, as is the case the majority of the time, those with access to the state will prop themselves up the only way they know how with government.

Agorist has been an independent journalist for over a decade and has been featured on mainstream networks around the world. Follow @MattAgorist Hilarious, if it was not so tragic.. But what then, if you utilize solar or wind power WITHOUT being connected to the grid ? Does the grounds for collecting this tax still apply ? Anyone knows ? If you create a commodity, it is taxed. It doesnt matter if it is physical or intellectual. The federal Govrnment subsidizes the construction of the turbines so heavily that they dont really belong to property owner, constructed with tax dollars. As a general principle, all rights in property are assignable and Dont look now, but the Emperor isnt wearing any clothes. Everyone owns everything from mother Earth. No one owns anything from mother Earth. Both statements are Truths. Reading this article shows me more of the same human arrogance stupidity. Both the the arrogance stupidity come from deception regarding denying the above two Truths. It leaves me shaking my head and sighing. Some people. Stop being an enabler. Stop paying taxes. Tax is theft. Some people need everything explained to them. Well, Wynotme.. In a roundabout way I think you answered my question Dont sell it. If you sell it, you pay the tax. The precondition was that I was not connected to the grid (at all.) Question is, if it will remain untaxed after all, or rather, for how long. The argument could be that by providing x number of KW for yourself, you are robbing big power of their profits What then ? Im in to the same idea as what you mention energy plant individualized to each home. Of course Im aware that solar, nor wind power, or even combined can (unfortunately) never be the sole source for any industrialized nation. But for off-grid living in a rural area, depending on your requirements, is still good enough. The economy of it all left unregarded. If a tax were ever to be applied, it would be applied to the purchase of the equipment (think excise tax on tires.) depending on which party is prevalent in US politics, or state politics, will determine whether a tax is applied. Tax his land, tax his wage, Tax his cow, tax his goat, Tax his chew, tax his smoke, Tax his food, tax his drink, Tax his bills, tax his gas, If he hollers, tax him more, Put these words upon his tomb, And now we have to add wind tax to the list. Had the 18th-century founders (like their 17th-century Christian Colonial predecessors) established government and society on Yahwehs moral law (including his economic and taxing laws), none of this would be possible.

COME ON America stand up for yourselves. Whatever happens to you will become a plague or freedom to the rest of the world. This situation looks as though the State legislatures are governing for the benefit of corporations and against the best interests of the residents of the individual State.

3	Saudi Arabia Rocked by ProtestsStephen Lendman, Contributor America was guaranteed access to what the State Department called a stupendous source of strategic power, and one of the greatest material prizes in world history. It explains much about Washingtons obsession with controlling the region. It has around two-thirds of the worlds proved oil reserves and major natural gas supplies. Little wonder America supports what some observers call the worlds most repressive regime. State terror is policy. Freedom is prohibited. Authority rests solely with the ruling Al Saud monarch and members of the royal family. Currently King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz holds power. Nearly aged 88, hes in poor health. Salman bin Abdul Aziz is crown prince. He also has health problems. A stroke left him bedridden for weeks. They and other family members rule despotically. Political parties and national elections are prohibited. Saudi kings appoint a Council of Ministers. It includes a prime minister, first and second deputies, 20 ministers, various advisors, and heads of major autonomous organizations. The Kingdom has 13 provinces. Ruling monarchs appoint governors. Theyre either princes or close royal family relatives. In 1993, ministers became subject to four-year term limitations. In 1997, a Consultative Council was expanded from 60 to 90 members. Media are tightly controlled. Most websites are blocked. Islam is the Kingdoms state religion. Observing others is prohibited. Anyone dissenting is subject to arbitrary arrest and detention. Political critics, bloggers, academics, foreign nationals, and humanitarian activists are especially vulnerable. Saudi journalist Khaled al-Harbi said annual Kingdom revenue exceeds $400 billion. Amounts fluctuate depending on oil prices. At the same time, the average Saudi citizen earns around $400. Al-Harbi says 60% of the population live in poverty. Official Consultative Assembly of Saudi Arabia (Shura) figures claim 22% of Saudis are impoverished (around three million people). Including migrants and other non-residents, its believed the true figure approaches al-Harbis estimate. A wealth disparity chasm between rich and poor exists. Income depends on how royal family members distribute it. They and privileged elites get most of it. Most Saudis go begging. Migrants and other non-citizens fare worse. Unemployment is high. Official figures mask its severity. Young people comprise two-thirds of the Kingdoms 26 million population. An estimated 40% of 20 to 24 year-olds have no jobs. Even well-educated Saudis are affected. So are most women. Around 80% of workers are non-nationals. Most are regional migrants. With no rights whatever, they work for near slave wages. Saudi citizens are shut out. The Kingdom is largely Sunni. Minority Shiites are marginalized and persecuted. Deep-seated social tensions result. Eastern Province areas are especially affected. Around 90% of proved Saudi reserves are located there. Significant human rights abuses are commonplace. They include extreme injustice, arbitrary arrests, incommunicado detention, torture and other physical abuse, public whippings and executions, radical Sunni Wahhabism, corruption, lack of transparency, violence against women, human trafficking, and total lack of freedom. The combination of poverty, monarchal privilege, and despotism is combustible. Protests erupt. They began principally in Qatif. They spread to other parts of the country. Last March, large-scale ones followed the arrest and detention of senior cleric Sheikh Tawfiq al-Amer. At issue was his call for constitutional monarchal rule. Security forces responded brutally. At the time, political analyst Mohamed al-Massari told Press TVthat counter-force would respond to state repression. We still have people who are willing to defend their honor with arms, he said. Expect thousands to take to the streets. Attacking women is especially stupid, he added. It will have dire repercussions, he predicted. Protests and public displays are strictly forbidden. Increasingly Saudis are expressing public anger anyway. July 9 provided another reason. Prominent Shiite cleric Shaikh Nimr al-Nimr was arrested after being shot in the leg. He was wanted for sedition. Police confronted him. Saudi state media said: When the aforementioned person and those with him tried to resist the security men and initiated shooting and crashed into one of the security patrols while trying to escape, he was dealt with in accordance with the situation and responded to in kind and arrested after he was wounded in his thigh. Interior Ministry spokesman Major General Mansour Turki was cited as the source. Allegedly he sparked Awamiya village protests. Thousands participated. Security forces confronted them. Numerous injuries and arrests followed. Al-Nimrs brother said he was wanted for his political views. He supported Shiite issues and spoke out prominently. He demanded long denied rights. As a result, he was targeted. Twice before (in 2004 and 2006) he was arrested and detained. In January 2008, he spoke publicly for creating a righteous opposition front. He represents views growing numbers of Saudis support. As a result, he and others like him threaten established rule. Increasingly the House of Saud resembles a house of cards. Royal family members and Washington allies are worried. They have good reason. After winter 2011 Bahraini protests erupted, similar ones began in the Kingdoms Eastern Province. Iron Fist repression confronted them. Nonetheless, they continue and spread. The holy city of Medina is affected. So are Jeddah, Arar, and Abha. Major demonstrations erupted in Saudis capital, Riyadh. Frequent ones occur. Anti-regime slogans are chanted. Unemployed Saudis demand jobs. People across the Kingdom want political freedom, social justice, release of political prisoners, and the end of Al Saud rule. At issue are longstanding grievances. The regime itself is targeted. Western media scoundrels largely suppress whats going on. US television ignores it. On July 10, a rare New York Timesarticle headlined Angry Throngs at a Funeral in Saudi Arabia, saying: Thousands attended a funeral of a killed Eastern Province protester. Its long been a focal point of anger at the rigidly conservative Sunni monarchy, and for Shiite complaints about a policy of entrenched, official discrimination. Unrest persists. Detaining dissidents fuel it. So do growing calls for political freedoms and civil rights. Official Saudi sources downplay whats happening. The Times article left much unexplained. A snapshot only was provided. Context was omitted. September 23 is Saudi National Day. In 2009, Hillary Clintonsalute(d) King Abdullah for his leadership on key regional and global challenges. He established a powerful dialogue that seeks to promote the principles of moderation, tolerance and mutual respect core values that we all share. She made similar comments in 2010 and 2011. The Kingdoms alliance with Washington is more than about oil. Its a partnership furthering imperial lawlessness. Deep Saudi pockets help fund it. Recycled petrodollars also buy US weapons, Treasuries, and other American investments. Preserving the relationship is prioritized. Putting lipstick on Saudi monarchal despotism tries to bolster it. On July 17, this writer appeared on Press TVs News Analysisprogram. So did analysts Ali al-Ahmed and Kamel Wazne. According to Wazne, Washington cares only about keeping Saudi oil flowing. It has utter disregard for the people of Saudi Arabia and those people who are demonstrating on the streets. People have no say, he stressed. Repression and social inequality are rife. Royal family members have no interest in their own people. Sheikh al-Nemr called outright for the downfall of the monarchy and he called for the downfall of Al Saud. Eastern Province winter 2011 protests mushroomed to many others across the Kingdom. These people marching in the streets are determined to achieve change. They want a different political system. This writer added that perhaps the fuse was lit last year. What Eastern Province Shiites began, Saudis across the Kingdom continue. Analyst Ali al-Ahmed predicts an inevitable collapse. The fullness of time may prove him prescient.

3	Politics in the Matrix: Trump Wont Prosecute Hillary ClintonBy Jon Rappoport Donald Trump achieved two great things in his presidential campaign: he stopped Hillary Clinton from occupying the White House, and he ran against the media by attacking them mercilessly. Everything else is up for grabs. We will see. Already, he has made some errors. The appointment of Mike Pompeo as CIA director is a bad move. Pompeo, as a congressman, introduced the Dark Act, which now prevents the states from requiring GMO labels on food. And he favors the death sentence for Edward Snowden. Multiple media outlets are reporting that Trump will not attempt to prosecute Hillary Clinton. This is on the level of lowering the window shades for a vampire as dawn breaks. Hillary was certainly guilty in the email case, and the Clinton Foundation is a pay-for-play money laundering operation of global proportionsa private and parallel State Department, in which cash is the only standard for diplomacy. And these charges are mere low-hanging fruit on the Clinton crime family tree. Pursuing justice is supposed to be a Trump hallmark. Politics in the Matrix is a tap dance and a shuffle. Deals and compromises are made all the way along the line. Washington and its media allies suck their very life juices from those deals. Like some fungus, they thrive in the dark every-day corruption of This traded for That. In many ways, Trump exclaimed he was above the game. The deals he was going to make would all be on the side of benefiting Americaso he has a price to pay for asserting he was most definitely a different character on the political scene. That unbridled assertion was what drove huge numbers of people to show up at his rallies all over the country. They wanted an outsider who had a serious ax to grind with Washington and the media. They wanted him to be angry and outragedbecause they were, too. They didnt want a great healer, because justice comes before healing. Many of them had felt the effects of Globalism and its grotesque trade treaties. They were out of work, and he was going to bring back jobs. But that wasnt their only motivation. They knew their jobs had been stolen by anti-American elites, and they wanted the sword of justice to fall on those elites. They knew Hillary Clinton was an arch-Globalist. For these millions of Trump supporters, forgiving and forgetting and moving on isnt presidential. It smells bad. They were never part of the glazed-over New Age crowd, and they arent now. The cheese-glob coming together isnt in their lexicon. They dont view anger as a character defect or a compensatory response that traces back into early childhood. They want bad people to pay for their crimes. Hillary Clinton would be at the top of their list. Helping her heal is a sick joke. They want her in prison where she belongs. They know her constant vapid calls for national unity during the campaign were a straight-out con, a cover for her lust for power. They see nothing redeeming about her. Its simple: she fights the good and embraces evil. Therefore, she should be punished. Doing so would set an example and a course for the Trump administration: we dont back away, we dont back down. We arent separating campaign talk from presidential action. Were not trying to make that phony distinction. If Trump prosecuted Hillary to the full extent of the law, then of course the owls would come out hooting: hes vengeful; he cant let go; hes mean; hes spiteful; hes a cruel sadist; this goes beyond any civilized sense of propriety befitting a real leader. Yes? And? So? So what? Is Trump the same man now that he was when he was campaigning? Even asking that question seems nave, because of course we know all politicians rearrange themselves after they win a victory. But Trump portrayed himself as very, very different. He stood on that difference. He celebrated it. He reveled in it. He took great pleasure in it. Now, he has to pay the price. His supporters dont want to hear some garbled nonsense about how prosecuting Hillary would create a giant distraction from the job of leading the country. Trumps whole campaign was a distraction from politics as usual. Thats what gave him strength. Prosecuting Hillary Clinton now would be counter-intuitive and outrageous, and therefore it would be the most Trumpian thing Trump could do. It would give him more support from his millions of people. And it would be right and correct and it would deliver justice where justice has been needed for a very long time. And when the whole host of sordid details about Hillarys crimes came spilling out into the light, people who pride themselves on being in the camp of the beautiful and virtuous would realize who they have been defending. It would provide a valuable lesson, and the price of admittance to that show would trump the decades of waiting America has endured in the case of The People vs. Hillary Clinton. This case has now been canceled. Donald Trump achieved two great things in his presidential campaign: he stopped Hillary Clinton from occupying the White House, and he ran against the media by attacking them mercilessly. Failing to prosecute Hillary is not a great thing. It is a very bad thing. Coda: I sense there may be a little side-op here. Trumps special advisor and inside man, innovator, media-attacker, and Breitbart editor, Steve Bannon, most certainly opposes the move to let Hillary off the hook. Is this a signal that Steve is out of the loop, or out altogether? Hes the most dangerous threat to the big media oligarchy. (To read about Jons mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed, click here.)

Image Credit: Anthony Freda Art Jon, I think this announcement may be designed to tone down the rhetoric and kinetic action from those rioting. Later, when Trumps attorney general is on board, it might be HIS decision that Hitlery or the Clinton Foundation, is prosecuted or a special prosecutor appointment. Lets hope so because the Clintons need to go DOWN! The Clinton and Bush crime families should go down. Elsewhere on selfnews Post, someone reminded us about H.W. Bushs hand in the assassination of JFK. No justice is served and the Bushes are close friends of the Clintons. Trump is already backpedaling on his climate change stance, climate change being the key foundational reasoning behind UN 2030 Global Governance treaties. We are not given any context here by Trump, ever. Too many rationalizations, most people are easily bamboozled. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=josKPWSGpY4 Clintons will NOT be prosecuted, NOR indicted. They are an instrument of the Globalists and as such are above the law. PERIOD. You are correct, I believe. Do people expect DJT to telegraph his only move? Its all lies. check out beforeitsnews for the truth or better yet read the FULL transcript from the NYT to see how they sound bit it up with their usual magic and tossed out the false narrative knowing most people would never actually read the full transcript. Lmao beforeitsnews is a right wing shill site they have been caught lying before If there was anything criminal, Hillary would have been in jail long ago. lol You cant seriously be that naive, can you? Yes!. there are hypnozomed /alpha~waved / sleep-walking inculcated Sheeple surrounding those that have Woken Up that out number us approx: 9 to 1..sad sobering isnt it !?! MK Ultra, anyone? Talk about living in FantasyLand. It appears that rumors of her not being prosecuted have been greatly exaggerated. NYT scumbags said he wouldnt prosecute her, but he said in the meeting that it wasnt off the table. On top of that, its not Trumps job to prosecute her it will be Jeff Sessions responsibility. I think Trump is just trying to calm the tards down. Once hes in place, he can let the FBI do their job. Hope you are right. Of course he is. Why did Trump disavow the alt right? Alt stands for alternative, as in alternative media, alternative views, not white supremacist which is exactly what the tie in was. Those of us who oppose global governance as it is being formed right now are being systematically tied to racism. Our voices of discontent are known to be echoed in the wide ranging alternative media. What has Donald Trump said about the UN Agendas, in particular Agenda 2030? MSM et al distorted the original meaning of alt right thru disinformation, and telling everyone that it represented white supremacists. I saw some nasty, ugly tweets by folks claiming to be alt right and blocked several of them. God forbid, they couldnt have another grass roots group popping up promoting a sincere alternate reality. It might catch on. Well said, thanks. We have to watch out for the agent provocateurs. One was on a Black Listed News thread a couple of days ago. Some dedicated folks chased him off. More than likely they are ringers from the left trying to make a bad name for the right. When did he disavow the alt right? Maybe he hates that term as much as I do. Clinton made it up just like the neo-liberals trying to change our language and thinking. He said it during the recent meeting with MSM honchos. I saw the reports by the NY Times and The Guardian, both using the same quote. Ive known Steve Bannon a long time. If I thought he was a racist or alt-right or any of the things, the terms we could use, I wouldnt even think about hiring him and I dont want to energize the group, and I disavow the group. Note that Trump himself used the term alt-right at exactly the same time the MSM identified a list of fake news sites including this one which most of us refer to as the alternative media and Trumps advisers KNOW this well. Doesnt make sense he didnt distinguish between outright racists and anti-NWO / anti-Globalists who follow the alt media. Why did he use Hilllarys (CIA) term of alt right? Its an application of neurolinguistics intended to demonize people like us using a straw man frame. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/22/donald-trump-steve-bannon-alt-right-white-nationalist-disavow Lets be a little patient with President Elect Donald Trump. When he is sworn in as the 45th US President, we intend he makes good on the statement he made during the last debateto prosecute HRC Jeff Sessions will have the duty to see this doneThere will be a lot of fall out after this is initiatedBe a little patient. Yes, we should all be patient little sheeple because the Clintons need time to move their puppet show to a non-extradition country. There are 78 to choose from, including Qatar. Im sure the Pay-to-Play agreement between Hillary and Qatar has nothing to do with this. WakeUp! indeed. Just what do you expect Mr.Trump to do right now? Talk doesnt do any good, but you seem to think he has some special ability to put her in jail tomorrow. Please share your knowledge of how he can do that before he is president. Whether you like it or not, you have to wait until Jan 20. Now, why dont you go join all the others that are throwing temper tantrums all over the US? Telling the truth is not a temper tantrum. I never expected Trump to do anything he promised, now or ever. I dont believe anything he said to get elected and I didnt vote for him or Hillary. People need to get over the idea that you have to be either left or right, some of us dont support being ruled by liars and criminals. I dont expect the DOJ or the FBI to do anything about Hillary either, certainly the FBIs double fainting spell proved that much. George W. Bush spends his days at home, painting and selling portraits of soldiers wounded in his illegal, genodcidal war. Thats all anyone needs to know about how justice is meted out in this country. When Mr. Trump takes office prosecuting the Clintons crime familiy will the last thing to care about as the Globalists are setting Trump up for an epoch-making collapse Yes, they are. That is what Obamao and the Clinton Crime Family are betting on. They are all hoping for enough chaos to call for an emergency of some kind. And they need Trump as a perfect scapegoat. I love it: you Tramp, sorry Trump, supports can make all the excuses you want, but Trump has taken a 180 on a lot of issues and you will not admit that you all have been HAD. All talk, just like you. Ghoul-iani? He hasnt gotten into office yet, you dont know what he will do, do you? Go cry to your mommy if thats all youve got. Oh FFS, FFS theres stuff going on here, and the writer simply hasnt a clue. They dont give a damn about the womanoid healing.Hillary would lay waste to too many on the way down.Wonder who else enjoyed Epsteins Orgy Island. This is more about how we wish to be as a nation, not Hillary Clinton. If she is a criminal, why does she get a pass? He should simply say Ill appoint an Attorney General and wherever the evidence leads, well follow appropriately. Playing this game of shes special, she gets special consideration is precisely what he claimed to be in opposition to. For Gods sake, he could at least try to be consistent. He should be calling for Obongo to follow the law with regard to the harassment. When given this and some of the old guard appointees, I have serious doubts. But then, I always did. Maybe he doesnt want Obamao to pardon her before he gets inaugurated, eh? Think about it. He cant pardon her if she hasnt been charged duh and obamao? Not even close Obongo racist much? Barnacle Bill needs prosecuted as well. I agree with those who are taking a wait and see attitude. trump may be doing this for a few reasons. Remember he prides himself in being a keen negotiator. He has a big agenda and needs at least some cooperation from the dems and more from the RINOS in his own party. Alienating the dems and using up capital going after Hillary now may destroy any chance of getting his agenda of ending illegal immigration, appointing a conservative justice, reversing trade deals, building a wall.past. He may also be lulling Obama into not granting Hillary a presidential pardon for all possible crimes she has committed in the past. Let Obama leave office, let Trump get his agenda passed. and then we can only hope he unleashes the dogs of hell on Hillary, Obama and the rest of the treasonous scum who took the country down the path of socialist totalitarianism over the last 8 years. Lmao you call Obama a socialist? Bravo Jonbest article on the subject on the web WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CAMPAIGN TRUMP? we wanted a warrior and we got a wimp. Lets see whether you are a cheese -glob -unity person or you agree with demanding justice after you read this. If you ask me UNITY has been the whole problem these last 8 years.republicrats. PLEASE READ THIS ONEits my favorite ! This is going to change politics for the future. You can promise any and everything that the ignorant want to hear, get elected, then change your mind. No problem, a chicken in every pot, a car in every driveway. And all the dummies will vote for you! Surprise, surprise! Christians traded biblical qualifications for what will prove to be worthless campaign promises, just like all of those that preceded Trumps. When will we ever learn? How is Trump going to save America by swearing allegiance to the same biblically seditious Constitution that is in turn responsible for sending America to her destruction? If America is ever going to be saved, Americans must repent of their constitutional idolatry. We must restore government of, by, and for God, based upon His unchanging moral law.11 (You can take it to the bank, if elected, thats not the Constitution Trump will swear to uphold as the Supreme law of the land.) America [got] precisely whom she deserves in this election. Its not by chance America has ended up with these two candidates for President. Yahweh is sovereign, and everything goes wrong just right: This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest [lowliest, NASB] of men.

No wonder you have to spam for people to come to your loser site. Trump is a smart man. I think Trump has a trump card up his sleeve and his goal right now is simply getting to the Whitehouse. Time will tell and if he appoints some honest people to his cabinet, such as Attorney General, who can move on their own accord to prosecute criminals and help drain the swamp. When her history since college is taken into consideration, Mr. Trumps decision will not provide the healing that she requires. Nor will the final sleep provide the healing she requires. However, it will end her murderous activities in this life. shes a flight risk. ssshhhhhhhhh, Wait until Jan 20 and see where he stands. Cant do anything about it now, anyway. Oboingo will just pardon Mr. and Mrs. Spirit Cooking Pedis Lmao you trumpies minds are malfunctioning cus yall so flustered that we was right about him all along When will you ever understand one simple thing? Trump fooled you and all your talking heads and whupped your crooked cankle queen. Its over! Done! You lose! Go cry to mommy, no one else cares. Lmao you think Im pro Hillary cus Im not a trump zombie Nah sorry I dont fall for that Democrat vs Republican bullshit nice try tho but you still taking this L Could it be that Trump is simply feigning disinterest so the Clintons and members of their criminal organization will relax, and not further destroy evidence of their wrong-doing? You know that if their positions were reversed, Hillary would not hesitate to stomp on Trump. And neither should he. Let the next Attorney General pursue justice. You dont need a special prosecutor to prosecute a criminal; even NYPD were supposed to have claimed their readiness to do so if the AG did not. Hold on! Trump hasnt even been inaugurated yet. Remember hes the guy who wrote The Art of the Deal Or was it The Art of the Con? The one thing we do know about Trump for sure is that hes full of surprises. And he knows how the game is played. Hes got a very good brain. He told us so. Smh yall trump worshippers are something else just accept it yall got fooled even his spokeswoman said it Hillary is not gunna go to jail cus like I been saying they are FRIENDS You lost! Accept it. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/05b8556b2cffcce693793fce8ec3cbe1656dd45d73e1a4dcf3bdaa6fd9e1e0fa.gif . I see you fell for the long con and beforeitsnews? Come on now Go troll somewhere else. Troll? Nah I work for myself I dont know about you tho Lmao neo liberal sjws? Thats like saying black kkk members Okay, progressive sjws. I think New York City is going to prosecute Hitliary. its because I know how this 2-party dictatorship works that I didnt believe Trump was an anti-establishment candidate till the very last minute. On the other hand, lets face it, the anti-Trump media bias was all but evident. The establishment was dumping Trump the way they keep dumping Putin today. They concealed all the crimes Clinton is behind and still do while looking to pinch Trump everythime they can. Trump has already negated TTP deal which is a real blow to the establishment and his international policies (Syria, Ukraine, Russia) are a real threat to the globalists. He is backpedalling the efforts of previous globalists-controlled administrations. Sure, I dont expect him to attack FED in earnest but so far I dont seem many reasons to believe he wants to be just another puppet for the globalists. He put up a good show and yall fell for it 
2	Florida Muslim Sees Bikini Glad Girls At The Pool, What He Does Next Is Horrifying For a long time, President Barack Obama has been insisting that Islam is a religion of peace. He continues to make those claims despite numerous terrorist attacks at the hands of radical Islamists and despite a culture that continues to fuel violence toward women and children. Videos like this tell a very different story than the one Obama is trying to convince us exists. According to reports from Right Wing News, a Muslim man in Florida was outraged when he came upon a group of bikini-clad girls at the pool. What he decided to do next was absolutely disgusting. The man pointed a taser at the women and their families, and threatened them for daring to wear bikinis. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do incidents like this need to stop? Do these threats need to be recognized? 
3	The TSAs Answer to Long Lines Is Wait for It More SecurityBy Mac Slavo Problem. Reaction. Solution. Though the TSA has never been effective at catching or reducing terrorism, it has become very good at inconveniencing Americans. Rifling through their things, herding them through S-ray machines reminiscent of Nazi policies, forcing people to withstand increasingly long lines, with many people even losing out on flights. All in the name of security. After wait times across the country have made headlines and left airport travelers stranded and fed up, Homeland Security chief Jeh Johnson, whose agency overseas the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), is calling for a solution based in what else greater security. Secretary Johnson is using the 2016 travel crisis to push for more sign-ups in its Pre-Check program, in which applicants undergo a rigorous background check and pay an $85 fee for speedy TSA screenings. Johnson dubbed it the E-ZPass of airports. As CBS News reports: As the TSA struggles to fix the airport security gridlock, airlines are jumping in to help. [Johnson told CBS This Morning] that becoming a TSA PreCheck member would help cut the wait down to an average of five minutes or less. [] But Johnson said that even in the face of increased travel volume, we are not going to compromise aviation security. Anything to avoid a long line and a pat down, eh? Johnsons comments gave a strong indication that the controversial agency had no plans of backing down, despite long lines, vowing not to compromise on security. In other words, those not willing to sign up for the additional background check program will be left waiting. For now, this Pre-Check system is an elite path to bypassing the rigor and discomfort of TSA screenings and speed up the hassle of traveling. In the long run, it is part of the biometric ID grid that will place everyone under preemptive suspicion and real-time, global surveillance and monitoring. Those who seek greater control are using the problem of long airport lines to whip the public into compliance with its new security systems (which have been active for many years, but so far only adopted by a few). If people dont sign-up now, can they expect more terrorism to speed the recruitment effort?

You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com. The answer is no. We are already paying you jerks; now do your job. Precheck is stupid. Whos to say you wont be compromised after the approval . Just a way to get us all in database system w/ fingerprints AND pay them too. Again NO! I predicted the Pressure for Pre-Check scenario two weeks ago after the You caught that too. Old souls think alike? Its a never ending series of problem, reaction, solution. TPTB are able to spin virtually any story and any incidents to serve their ends. Ive found seeing it is akin to deciphering a puzzle or code, once recognized the illusions disappear. Allegorically, I picture the image of Cypher in The Matrix staring at a green screen of symbols cascading down and he says I dont even see the code [anymore]. Hello blue! Yes, that scene perfectly describes it, good pick. Im definitely seeing the matrix crashing. Today Obama said people need to prep for disasters, when less than a year ago he was calling preppers alarmists, domestic terrorists and Fruit Loops. Glitch! Did you happen to see the video of the Swiss tunnel ceremony ritual? Truly bizarre. (I dont want to post a link because it takes days to get approved.) I saw it on Huffington Post this a.m., Im sure its all over the interwebs by now. No, I missed it, OS, thanks for the tip. I found a collection of pics on BBC. Bacchanalian, wow! Theater of the absurd at its apogee with European style brain orgies. The woman with a bird outfit flying over the men playing the dead construction workers oh no, scarred for life! As disturbing as the Bohemian Grove Cremation of Care ceremony performed in robes in front of the giant Moloch. Good catch on the disaster comment! Yep, always playing both sides of any issue. Obama as puppet is also doing a reversal on the deliberate policy of Social Security payments steadily losing ground to inflation saying there should be big cost of living increases. Goes hand in hand with the elite push for a big increase in the minimum wage and the testing and floating of the Basic Income (aka Minimum Income) paradigm. Ties into negative interests rates too and more. It has to do with the plan for global currency debasement, the race to the bottom, redistribution, and money printing hyperinflation magnified in the US with an eventual transitioning out of the dollar reserve system. Interesting times! Is that why we volunteered? LOL Whoa, totally missed all that on Social Security/Basic income. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Our four eyes are better than two. Yes, this is why we volunteered. I am loving every minute of Mr. Toads Wild Ride. I just woke up a sleeper today. Showed her the video of the tunnel ceremony and she said, That looks satanic! This person is a dear friend but shes totally immersed in mainstream everything. For her to see this on her own without prompting is amazing. Eyes Wide Open! So about this Minimum Income deal. What are we looking at here? Global socialism? Give everyone a basic subsistence income with a few zillion conditions attached? Is this from Agenda 21? I guess I dont know where this is all coming from or where its going. Can you help this poor little Alice? Yep, a zillion strings attached, absolute control Chinese style and progressing further. It is related to Agenda 21 but on the macroeconomic front its more of a reflection of Agenda 2030. Thanks for that. I tend to avoid most financial stuff these days (despite a career as a commodity trader back in the Stones Ages) but Ive pretty much avoided all this on purpose, probably because I sense there are many pockets of Not 3D areas forming up around the planet. People coming together and forming something else to replace TPTB with The Power of Us. Sometimes I think these Agendas with Future Numbers are just another boring mind game. I dont know But I do know that I saw a raven flying upside down today, right in front of me. I have seen eagle aerobatics many times, but never a bird flying along, ten feet over the earth, upside down. I applauded, he tipped his wing and then executed a perfect barrel role. In spite of all of the global weirdness, right beside it is global awakeness. I feel positive energy growing and the signs are everywhere if we look for them. Did you see Elon Musk and his AI interview about the matrix? What a hoot! Youre very welcome, OldeSoul. Commodities trader? Very cool! I imagine you have a good math brain and would be someone I could share macroeconomic concepts with and you could keep up with the synthesis. I probably should have provided a little more perspective on the basic income deal, which is being floated, launched, and tested around the world in various ways, mostly pilot programs. As you no doubt already surmised, the rolling of B.I., along with other indicators, signifies the birth of technofeudal Marxism on a global scale. Its the final resource power grab by the global elite. Its beginning as a whirlwind now in the developed oil wealthy gulf states in the form of austerity. Austerity and strict rationing being a strong feature of the new 2030 era. Huge pension funds in the US have been going bust, it isnt a coincidence. Expect redistribution and debasement helicopter Benbeyond QE. The Agenda edicts are real, pervasive, insidious, and built into the transforming infrastructure. The veil is falling though simply because they cant hide it any longer. Heres to The Power of Us to change the dynamic. As for watching birds, I cant get enough of them myself. They always amaze me. The raptors are my favorite, majestic, powerful but I love them all and wish I knew more about them. Even their nests are super cool having watched a PBS online Nature show on birds nests a few months ago. No I didnt take the time to preview the Elon Musk interview. Ill check it out. Thanks. Okay, wait technofeudal Marxism? I really havent been paying attention! Even the term is hard to wrap my head around. A lot of people very focused on the financial collapse, just as there are a lot of others focused on creating what will take the place of the financial world once it comes down. It can go either their way or our way, and its not a given that it will go their way, not at all. Thats what we volunteered for. The spiritual aspects of the awakening hold the keys, not the gold and silver traders and the Helicopter Bens (funny!) and the Irrational Exuberance Greenspans. Those power structures are falling along along with the matrix, just like vaccines and the twin towers. I see that clear as day. What happens to all their power when they crash the financial system? They are not infallible, not even close, because greed and power lust cannot sustain indefinitely on a planet ascending to 5D. They are repeating the exact same scenario that brought down Atlantis and thats a lot more likely than Agenda Whatever. Plus now that were on to the fact they use our collective consciousness to program the matrix, we can simply stop doing it. Our minds create what we believe, so they tell us what to believe and we do it. Not any more And guess what? The birds hold the answers. Keep watching and listening because they are speaking loud and clear. Did we ever talk about me working for a raptor rehab agency? We have owls, hawks and eagles mostly, although I have a very close relationship with raven and hes never steered me wrong before. The dude does barrel rolls like nobodys business! We shouldnt have to pay them anything, the entire ruse is based on the 9/11 false flag attack, the body scanner based on another false flag with the underwear bomber caught in the act by attorney and whistleblower Kurt Haskell. Why are we standing in line like sheep, stripping down and getting irradiated? Its insanity..conformist mind control.proverbial lemmings. You kiddies go stand around in your undies and the gentle tsa will insert the cattle prod. IT DOES NOT NEED ANY HELP FROM THE TSA TO SINK AMERICA, BECAUSE IT IS ON ITS WAY DOWN ALREADY, You pay thousands of dollars for an airline ticket for a vacation, plus deposits for hotels, rental cars and activities, only to lose most of that money and start your vacation angry, so some TSA drone can fondle your undies. I cant believe people will stand in lines and wait patiently to be treated like cattle entering an abattoir. But of course, if you pay them more money and offer up all the details of your life, you can avoid everything except the blackmail and extortion. Why the H would anyone want to fly? Business people have a pass or star ID that bypasses security checks I have been told by someone who is a frequent flyer. There are other ways to travel. Let the airlines go busted. IMO I dont think it is the safest way to travel anymore either. We will see more aircraft falling out of the sky over time blamed on terrorists. In the end no one will travel to overseas destination. And, I think thats what they want Take yer shoies off widdle kiddies. Wonder why the underwear bomber didnt force everyone to stand around in their skin. I totally agree with you on the concept of conditioned austerity, especially as people now seem to spend the majority of their incomes on all the insurance scams, myriad forms of taxation, debt interest, and medical care not covered by insurance. That leaves just enough for popcorn and a predictive programming movie once a year. They have already secured most of the resources, both on this planet and the others they have already plundered. But is it conditioned austerity or a free will choice to return to what is meaningful? Its interesting when you take steps to live off the land and do with less how much nicer and simpler life becomes. You choose different priorities a new chicken coop instead of a new swimming pool, a new tractor instead of a new boat, etc. I know Im simplifying this complex topic (although Ive made both of those choices myself already ha!) but living quietly and simply can be very satisfying, rewarding and healthful for your mind and body. The global technocracy sort of just disappears over the horizon when you find a little pocket of serenity somewhere, plant tomatoes, and soak up nature instead of their soulless version of tech, fashion, and popular culture. Just throwing away the TV has amazing consequences, all of them good. Be the change you wish to see yep, Im a scratched and broken LP for sure. All I know is that creating the breathing room in life to be able to go for a bike ride on country roads and see a raven flying upside down beats anything the cabal has ever dreamed of. They cannot prevail because they are so incredibly boring in a universe that literally exists on creative imagination and soul-filled experiences. They can have their soulless world(s) and power trips but they cant have it all because there are 7 billion of us still holding this planet down and only about ten of them, and theyre scared sheetless about the day that 100th monkey takes the stage. Im totally with you on the great pleasures of simplicity and minimalism, escaping the hamster wheels and all the trappings. Theres nothing even close to nature, hiking, biking, and authentic connections. Its not the austerity, as in hitting the ejector button on materialism, that concerns me, its how it is being wielded as a tool. Did you see where Europe is now trying to do the China/Russia bit of issuing ID numbers to track social media and internet use on an individual basis? BTW, Im still traumatized by that tunnel ceremony! lol Happy birding, OS. Yes, I sense that hitting the ejector button on materialism gig too. First you must CONSUME and then they tell us we are bad little humans for consuming too much. Its just more of their never-ending pile of inconsistent BS. They are having trouble keeping all their lies tied together, sneaky little truths keep leaking out, and some people are really adept at connecting those dots. Ya, the tunnel ceremony got weirder the more you looked at it. There are quite a few videos of different parts of it, some they did inside, some outside, all weird. It reminded me of the scene in Eyes Wide Shut, the way the spectators to the ritual were perfectly still and showed no emotion. It was meant to be troubling, just like everything else they eject into the quantum field. It feels like the dying gasp of an old paradigm, like whenever a king dies his countrys entire timeline shifts in an instant because he powered the energy field. Im still wondering why they are so fascinated with goats. Even so, I feel nothing but optimism, strange as that sounds. The weirder they get, the more fallible they become. 
1	Meghan Maguire, 26, office manager for DataSolutions, told reporters Monday that she is very happy with her revamped work refrigerator policy, calling the data-recovery company's previous guidelines 'obsolete' and 'not conducive to a healthy, productive work environment.' 'With the old policy, there was zero accountability, no initiative to label personal food items, and no limit on how many pieces of fruit people could refrigerate,' said Maguire, who spent the last six weekends drafting the five-page document. 'The great thing about this policy is that it doesn't force a completely foreign refrigerating experience down anyone's throat. It's the perfect stepping stone to get to where we want to be two years from now.' Maguire said she knew the policy was a success when no one responded to the office-wide e-mail she sent out describing the changes. 
2	Ferguson Mayor Destroys Sharpton: Stop Inciting Racial Hatred And Go Home There is no question that the situation in Ferguson, Missouri has reached an all time by, and Americans have been standing by anxiously awaiting what will comes of the protests, riots, and looting that began when an unarmed black teenager was shot and killed by a police officer last week. The police response to the action has been hard-handed, with heavily armed police using extreme lengths like tear gas and rubber bullets. Of course, the last thing the town needs is someone like Al Sharpton to come into the mix, but that is exactly what the instigator decided to do this past week. Theres a lot of concern among a lot of the African American leaders here, Mayor James Knowles said of Sharptons presence. I have the concern that well lose sight of this young man and the tragedy and become clearly a national spectacle, instead of focusing on this young man and the issues at hand. Sometimes star power is not always a good thing. Sharpton arrived last week to meet with the victims family and lawyer, and went on to give a passionate speech to the crowd of protestors. What do you think? Will Sharpton and his racist remarks only make things worse?

1	Verifying that the size of the field is about right for a five-on-five game, reports out of Hillside Park confirmed Wednesday that the end zones are the two big trees and the edge of the parking lot. According to sources at the scene, the blue sweatshirt behind the trees marks the back of the one end zone, while the dirt patch near all the backpacks on the far side is said to be out of bounds. Early reports also indicated that theres no tackling near the parking lot because its pavement and Adam fucked up his knee over there last time. At press time, several conflicting accounts surfaced suggesting that the two big trees are actually too close together, and someone should reportedly just find two sticks big enough to shove in the ground instead. 
3	Hillary Clinton: Fake As A Wedding CakeBy Brandon Turbeville While this is not surprising given that Clinton is a politician, what is surprising is that Clintons epic fails in her attempts to be portrayed as just like the common man (or woman) have not earned her more ridicule than they actually have. Indeed, it is surprising that Hillary at her most phony is still able to fool the members of the audience watching her speeches despite her poor attempts at mimicking the behavior, cadence, and colloquialisms of the lower classes. Consider one of the most hilarious incidents of Hillarys mimicking fails, a campaign trip to Kentucky where she attempted to pick up a southern accent mixed with black vernacular and colloquial speech, conveniently for an audience that was both southern and black. Clintons rendition of both of these styles was so terrible it should have made everyone in the room cringe. Clinton sounded neither black nor southern as she slashed and shrieked her way through a quote of James Clevelands I Dont Feel Noways Tired.[1] Clintons horrible southern accent improved somewhat for her trip to South Carolina, where she was able to make jokes about coloring her hair to an audience supporting her campaign.[2] [3] This time her target was the stereotypical southern woman since the campaign event was taking place in Columbia, South Carolina. Improving from the Kentucky speech, however, is not to give credit for being good. It was an atrocious outing and should have been insulting to anyone in the audience. Im aware I may not be the youngest candidate in this race, but I have one advantage: Ive been coloring my hair for years. They are not going to see me turn white in the White House and youre also not going to see me shrink from a fight, she said.[4] Never to take second place to anyone when it comes to the question of qualifications, Hillary was apt to point out that, since all of her grandparents were immigrants, she was the most qualified to speak on the question of illegal immigration in 2015.[5] The problem, however, was that her claims were easily debunked as only one of her grandparents was a documented (meaning confirmed) immigrant.[6] Clintons attempts at mimicking the accents, physical characteristics, and social positions of the audiences to which she speaks falls right into line with her psychopathic nature. After all, psychopaths are excellent mimickers of human behavior.[7] Despite the fact that rational people who think critically would be able to see through Clintons gaffes, the truth is that such stupidity more often than not resonates with the average person. The members of Clintons audiences, as one can see from the videos, simply ate her performances up. Whenever one discusses the myriad of falsehoods told by Hillary, it would be difficult to forget to mention the famous Bosnia Sniper story repeated numerous times during interviews and campaign speeches.[8] This now famous sniper incident took place when Clinton was campaigning in the Democratic primary against Barack Obama and was attempting to portray herself as more experienced in foreign policy than he. She then relied on a 1996 trip to Bosnia to demonstrate her experience and bravery. Her statements generally followed the same line. For instance, on March 17, 2008, she stated, I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base. She also told CNN around the same time, There was no greeting ceremony and we were basically told to run to our cars. Now that is what happened. Of course, the story was a complete fabrication. Details of the event as well as video revealed there were never any snipers. In fact, the video showed Clinton and her daughter Chelsea walking casually from the plane to a greeting ceremony where a young girl received them. There were no signs of tension or danger to be found. When Clinton was called out on her obvious lie, she simply responded that she mis-remembered and had a different memory of the events. In other words, she lied.

Usually Stupid Americans will vote not matter what but the rigged elections will still be approved by the Electoral College who are neither smart or wise; just paid for in advance. Voting for either of the three major parties is the proof of our psychopathic non-system, there is no upgrade for the USA by any of the three major party candidates that are running for office. This why some like myself abstain from voting. We vote by not voting, we have no more confidence in the system conning us. Someone has aptly made a point that we ought to write in a vote. No confidence. Not sure even that would alter a thing. After all, the puppet masters could simply declare a bad vote, or a need to re-vote, or simply put who they wanted into power there at any given. They seem keen to place who they want, where, anyway. Exactly. If you vote someone into power and they do terrible things then youre to blame because you put them in power. I always hated the youre to blame if you dont vote argument. The establishment picks who will be the next leader. Taking your ball and going home was not a rational choice when you were a child and its not one now. Sure I think that the system is probably rigged but short of armed insurrection, its the ONLY way we have of selecting leaders. Speaking of armed insurrection, since you are on this site, are you also backing the gun control actions being pushed by the left? Think if we showed it a bible, it would go away? Dont do that, because then it would try to court the religious vote. @LudVanB No, I do not support the issue of gun control. I grew up understanding gun safety, responsibility. Think we ought to continue in that. One can also vote using money. For example, big tobacco is now attempting to get regulation passed to ban vaping. Vaping took away 3 billion away from big tobacco. People who vape no longer want to support big tobacco, big pharmaceutical. They do not give money to either, as best theyre able to not do so. They vape and find it a safer alternative. The system created money and uses it in warfare too. Why not use the weapons used by the system, just like the system? And yes I think it can be done without becoming the monster one battles. So voting at a ballot box patently proven to be rigged is not an option. You say packing up my marbles, not playing their game, going home is not either. Well, neither is armed revolt. Peaceful solutions do exist. We must though face up to responsibility and realize some peaceful means will cause harm. Yes, some of the means we are left to choose may be harmful to others who oppose us. Maybe they ought to take responsibility too, choose not opposing us. We have already won.

2	Police Officer Forces Islamic Man To Eat Pork, But What Happened Next May... According to recent reports, a police officer in Germany has come under fire amid allegations that he forced a Muslim man to eat raw pork. The problems for the officer began in March of last year, when the Muslim man from Afghanistan could not provide his papers. The officer proceeded to detain the man. Now, prosecutors are claiming that he continued to abuse the Muslim prisoner by forcing him to eat the raw pork off the floor. He reportedly did not stop therehe continued to strangle the man and stick his fingers up his nose. Afterwards, the officer allegedly sent film of the incident to his colleagues. The officer has been suspended, and is currently under investigation for this and a similar incident. The Human Rights group Pro Asyl has called the incident an appalling level of racism and inhumanity. What do you think of this officers actions? 
2	Liberals Are Furious After Black Chicago Police Chief Begs Trump For Help With Huge Crime Rate Liberals were furious when Donald Trump tweeted, Chicago murder rate is record setting4,331 shooting victims with 726 murders in 2016. If Mayor cant do it he must ask for Federal help! Of course, liberal news networks immediately labeled Trump as a racist for his commentsthat is until the Chicago Police Board Chairwoman stood behind Trumps comments. Chairwoman Lori Lightfoot admitted that if Chicago wants to improve their crime rates, they will need Trumps help. We need to have more federal gun prosecutions in Chicago, she commented. Our federal partners from the U.S. attorneys office, the ATF, the FBI need to be much more invested in this overall strategy. Chicago Police Department cannot tackle this issue by itself. Lightfoot then commented on the flaws in the re-entry system. This is not a problem that were going to arrest our way out of, she added. Were dealing with a huge re-entry problemliterally thousands of people coming back from the Illinois Department of Corrections to the same communities that they left, and those communities just dont have the resources right now to absorb that huge influx of re-entry. Though Trump has been unpopular in his claims that we need to target criminals, not guns. That sentiment was also argued by Lightfoot. So weve got to tackle the problem. Its not sexy. Its not popular, but if were going to really get at the root causes of a lot of this gun violence, weve got to deal with these issues as well, she concluded. In Chicago, we are in a state of crisis. We need all hands on deck. What do you think? Is Trump the right person to help turn Chicagos crime rates around? 
3	Penalties Continue For Downing Drones; FAA Seeks Mandatory RegistrationBy Joe Wright The small town of Deer Trail, Colorado was the first to make national news when in 2013 they announced a proposal to offer residents $100 bounties for every drone shot down via official drone hunting licenses. As Mac Slavo wrote at the time: Phillip Steel, who authored the original proposal in Deer Trail, Colorado says his ordinance is a pre-emptive strike against what he calls a virtual prison being created through continued expansion of the surveillance state. (Source) The proposal of course drew the ire of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) which stated that those engaging in such activity would be severely penalized. The town subsequently voted down the measure. Since then, several cases have emerged where people have felt that either a threat to their privacy or a threat to their safety warranted taking matters into their own hands and downing invasive drones and it has happened both over private and public property. A New Jersey man, Russell Percenti, in late 2014 was the first to have been arrested for downing a drone. He was charged with criminal mischief and released on bail after blasting his neighbors drone with a shotgun, which was subsequently seized. Its not clear whether the drone was exactly over his property when the shots were fired later reports say the drone was near his house but the owner admitted to taking pictures of a nearby friends house that was under construction. Percenti has since been indicted by a grand jury and is facing 10 years in prison. A Kentucky man appears to have been the second person arrested for shooting down a neighbors drone. In this case the man, William Merideth, stated that he specifically waited for the drone to hover above his property before taking action. Well, I came out and it was down by the neighbors house, about 10 feet off the ground, looking under their canopy that theyve got in their back yard, Merideth told WDRB.I went and got my shotgun and I said, Im not going to do anything unless its directly over my property. . Within a minute or so, here it came, he said. It was hovering over top of my property, and I shot it out of the sky. . I have a right as an American citizen to defend my property, Merideth said, according to NBC News. I think no, I know that I was completely justified in protecting my family. Seems reasonable and, in fact, it later was determined by a judge to be absolutely reasonable, as Meredith was cleared of first-degree endangerment and criminal mischief. A third, and more bizarre, story emerged this past August when an Encinitas, California man who was at the public beach with his friends and family took down a drone with his T-shirt after fearing for the safety of small children in his party. He described the drone as something similar to a flying lawnmower. It took only 10 minutes for sheriffs deputies to respond and arrest him on charges of felony vandalism. His bail was set at $10,000. Fortunately for him, charges were dropped, but no mention was made of any charges being brought against the drone operator. Now a new state has a case of drone downing. In Pennsylvania, 65-year-old Marti Wlodsarski claims she felt a threat to her safety from a drone being operated by her neighbor; she described it similarly as being like weed whackers coming at you. In her case, she was able to down the drone with a rock (nice aim!). While she seemed to insinuate that the drone flew over her, it was later proven by video that it was not the case, and she went out of her way to down the drone off her property. She had to pay for damages, but was cleared of criminal mischief charges. She is unrepentant, as you will see below in the news coverage of the event. Clearly, these three cases alone highlight the fact that there is not a universal approach to how law enforcement will respond to those who down drones either in public or private space. And from this problem the FAA is already working on the solution. It was reported by AFP just days ago that the US moves toward mandatory registration of drones. Just in time for Christmas Owners of drones weighing 250 grams or more should provide authorities with their name and address and put an ID number on the aircraft, experts hired by the US government recommended Monday. The tips came as the government rushes to make registration for the popular aircraft mandatory ahead of an expected onslaught of Christmas purchases of them. . Current US law bars drone operators from flying them above an altitude of 400 feet (120 meters) or near an airport. But the rules are often flouted and authorities are often powerless to do anything about it. In cases of mishaps, finding the drone has not been as much of a problem as finding the person who was using the drone. The registration is designed to close that loophole, US Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said last month. As most readers of independent media understand, any time we hear the word mandatory, especially coming from Federal agencies, essential liberty tends to be on the chopping block and must be analyzed with utmost skepticism. Interestingly, a final snippet appears in the story about the woman who downed the drone with gravel people can actually declare their property a no-fly zone and it can be done online, for free. You can learn more at NoFlyZone.org. Perhaps doing so would at least further strengthen ones argument for taking action against a drone hovering above their property, while leaving responsibility where it first belongs with the individual. Please leave your thoughts in the comment section about what should be done in this new age of drone technology. Joe Wrights articles can be found at selfnewsPost.com All a person needs is something that jams the radio frequencies. Its silent and invisible. The drone operator wont know where its coming from. Let the damned thing come crashing to the ground. End of story. YOU may have just made a couple of million dollars with this suggestion . ///////////// Im assuming that the neo-con zionist Police State of what was once Americawants unfettered surveillance accesssss. with their own armed dangerous eye-in-the-sky drones guaranteed to be peeking thru your or your daughters bedroom windows when they get bored with their daily stasi routines. If the person flying this INTRUSIVE DRONE doesnt stop when asked to do so you have very rite to use the RADIO FREQUENCY this piece of crap is fling on JAM the signal then let it fall breaking into pieces when this piece of crap hits the ground. //////////////////////////////////////////////// All them bars are what youre going to be looking through doing things like that. Most rc aircraft use 2.4 Ghz. Cordless phones, and wireless routers use it too. Allot of the drones have a (Return To Home) feature, that uses GPS to land it, if it losses signal. What youre talking about doing is illegal,and will land you in jail. The above article indicates that the matter is not as simple as you present. The above article says nothing about scrambling fcc radio waves being legal.I dont approve of unsafe or intrusive use of these aircraft. Call the cop, if you think they are breaking the law. Taking these matters into your own hands, could get others hurt. The question of legality is applied more basically to the misuse of these model aircraft to intrude into the privacy of others and onto their property. Having flown model airplanes since the age of 12, and acquiring my first pilot license in 1964, and currently being a member of two, RC model airplane clubs, I am very well acquainted with the issue. This is not just a question of privacy - this is also a question of safety on many levels from interference with regular aircraft, to criminal or terrorist activity. As the range and flying time of these toys increases as it will they will be used by bad people to do bad things.. On top of that - we have enough surveillance today, not sure these would be a good add to the mix. I will admit they could have some beneficial uses in controlled situations but as usual the government is well behind the curve again. Agreed. In other comments I have covered the concept more thoroughly. The quadcopters should be restricted to the flying areas of radio-controlled, model airplane clubs. When discovered outside the approved areas for flying radio-controlled model aircraft, the quadcopters should be destroyed and the owners charged with violation of FAA rules. Call a cop? We live in the country. There are two officers that cover an entire district. Call a cop? That is a good one. Any one know the RADIO FREQUENCY these INTRU(CIVE BIRDS FLY ON ???????????????? i actually saw a pic of an advertised drone zapper/ radio (micro wave?) controlled thingamajig on the net YOU WONT FIND IT SILLY IF YOU FLY YOUR TOYS OVER MY PROPERTY. NOT ONLY WILL I TAKE ACTION TO BRING YOUR TOY DOWN MY ATTORNEYS WILL TAKE ACTION AGAINST YOU FOR TRESPASSING AND ANYTHING ELSE THEY CAN COME UP WITH. AND YES, THE CAPS ARE FOR EMPHASIS. Today your toys may be an irritation and a violation of my property. Tomorrow those toys can be causing accidents, used by criminals to survey a property, used by people intending to cause harm delivering anything from a bomb to chemical or biological weapons. Fantasy? Absolutely not. And if you think so your head is further up your than your comment indicates. These arent the planes I used to fly as a kid, they are a potential menace and more. So chuckle if you choose - but your laughter will cease when the consequences of these toys impact you or your loved ones. 
2	James Woods Ruins Hillary For Attacking Trumps Taxes, Exposes This One Dirty Little Photo For months now, Democrats have been trying to use Trumps refusal to release tax returns as an opportunity to accuse him of the worst. This only escalated when they were leaked illegally last week. Despite their best efforts, however, the truth is that nobody can find anything illegal in what Trump did. Hollywood actor James Woods was quick to point that out. He also reminded the American public that of the candidates on stage, only one has a significant criminal record. According to Woods, Hillary Clinton has taken advantage of taxes in inexcusable ways. A photo posted by Woods to his Twitter account paints a pretty clear picture of who were dealing with. Hillary deducted $1,042,000 in charitable contributions from her taxes, the meme points out. $1,000,000 of those contributions went to the Clinton Foundation. She cut her tax bill by $1,000,000 by donating to herself. Remember that next time you pay your taxes. What do you think? Does Hillary belong behind bars? Shes an even bigger hypocrite than Barack Obama. 
1	Local resident Carl Sutton was recognized by Fayetteville officials Monday for his 'unique and patriotic' ability to name all 50 United States. The heroic Sutton at home. 'I am proud to call Carl Sutton one of Fayetteville's own,' said Mayor Gordon Semple, who awarded Sutton a special citation at the city's American Legion Hall. 'Very few people possess the skill to name all 50 states of the Union without consulting reference materials. Yet, relying only on his intellect and his powers of retention, Carl has achieved the near-impossible. He is a true American hero.' Sutton's state-recitation aptitude has drawn national attention, resulting in guest spots on TV talk shows, lecture dates in elementary and secondary schools, and goodwill visits to hospitals, nursing homes, and military bases. However, the 46-year-old delivery driver for Tyson Foods remains modest and somewhat bewildered by the acclaim. 'I only graduated from high school and never attended college, so when people say I'm a hero or a genius, I have a hard time believing them,' Sutton told reporters. 'I did not have the advantages others have, so I'm just grateful to God for endowing me with this gift. I do not take it for granted, because I know how much it means to so many people.' Sutton then concluded his remarks with his customary, keenly anticipated recitation of the 50 states in alphabetical order. 'Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware,' Sutton said. 'Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine.' Added Sutton: 'Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi... uh... Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Yorkno, waitNew Mexico, then New York... North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio.' Following a 10-second lapse accompanied by a pained expression, Sutton said, 'Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania... er... Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington... um... West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming.' Reporters in attendance then broke into enthusiastic cheers and gave Sutton a standing ovation as he left the room. Those who have heard Sutton's celebrated recitation inevitably express wonderment. 'I have a hard time just remembering which states border my own,' said Joseph Russo, an insurance-claims adjuster from Harwich, MA. 'Heck, I can't remember how to spell my own state. But this Sutton guy, he's amazing.' 'I want to be just like Mr. Sutton when I grow up,' said 8-year-old Wendy Sperling of Casper, WY. 'Right now, I know California, Florida, and New York. Oh, and Wyoming!' But for all the adulation, Sutton refuses to rest on his laurels. Not content to dazzle others with his perfect state recall, he has taught himself the names of the territories currently under U.S. jurisdiction. 'Guam, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands,' Sutton told Katie Couric during a recent appearance on Today. With Sutton's rise to fame has come a growing number of rivals eager to challenge his throne. Danielle Claussen, a bartender from Amherst, NY, claims to have memorized not only all 50 states, but also their capitals. A 12-year-old Taiwanese-born, San Francisco-raised prodigy named Yan-Zhou Li is rumored to know all the major American rivers and their tributaries, as well as the number of congressional representatives per state. Despite the competition, Sutton received more good news Monday, when he learned that he has won a MacArthur Foundation 'Genius Grant.' He said he plans to use the $500,000 prize to study and memorize all the state mottos, nicknames, and birds. 'It seems overly ambitious, but with this financial assistance, I think I can pull it off,' Sutton said. 'I already know Montana's state bird is the Western Meadowlark, and that Arizona's motto is Ditat Deus, which is Latin for 'God enriches.' And that Connecticut is known both as 'The Constitution State' and 'The Nutmeg State.' Now I can afford to take an extended leave of absence from my job to devote the proper time and attention to this project.' 
2	Judge Forces Baker To Make Cake For Gay Wedding, Youll Love What Happens Next Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop has been standing by his decision to deny making a wedding cake for a gay couple, even though the Colorado Civil Rights Commission upheld a judgment against him. According to a recent report by TheBlaze, Phillips told reporters that he has no intention of providing cakes for gay and lesbian weddings. His position has not wavered since the lawsuit was brough against him by Dave Mullins and Charlie Craig. Im not going to make cakes for same-sex weddings, Phillips told reporters, That violates my First Amendment speechand my duty as a Christian abiding by my savior. Phillips claims that he stopped taking wedding cake orders in March, just shortly after the ruling was released against him. He doesnt want to work if he is required to serve gay couples. The order stated that Phillips is required to cease and desist from discriminating again same-sex couples. Despite Phillips strong stance on the issue, there has been little backlash on the business. Contrastingly, Phillips claims that the press has actually increased business. Phillips told reporters that the judge understood his constitutional rights, but made the claim that refusing to provide a cake didnt count as speech and that discrimination charges overrule it. The Bible to me overrules all that, Phillips told reporters, The Bible asks me to be obedient to Christand the Bible condemns certain things. Phillips attorney, Nicolle Martin, told reporters that she and her client are considering next steps, which may include an appeal. 
1	WASHINGTON, DCSecret Service agent Martin Bowhan was unable to explain to his direct superior how Electrolux sales representative Don Karn managed to breach White House security Monday. '[Karn] said that he needed to speak to the president, and before anyone could stop him, he strolled right into the Oval Office,' Bowhan said. 'I burst in there to find him dumping red wine, mud, and some blue liquid onto the rug, which was a personal gift from Chinese president Chiang Kai-shek to President Nixon. I have to admit that the stains did come out quickly and easily.' While escorting Karn out of the building, Bowhan made payment arrangements for the Aptitude ultra-quiet upright vacuum the president had ordered. 
2	Obama Hangs Muslim Prayer Flag In The White House For almost his entire second term, President Obama has faced criticism and speculation that he may not be as patriotic as he pretends to be. In fact, many believe that he actually acts against the best interests of America, which is probably part of the reason his approval ratings sit at an all time-low. A recent photograph does little to help with that. The controversial picture shows President Barack Obama holding a news conference in the East Room of the White House. It was taking in May of 2010 to address the BP Deep Water Oil Crisis. He posted a video on the White House website of the event. The flag was nowhere to be found. Concerned patriots were outraged, and expressed concern that Obama is making a serious policy change. Read the email below and tell us what you think: Thats rightno American flags!!! He told you he would change America, didnt he? This man, whoever he really is, is not an American. He and his ilk want to end the American Free Enterprise System. And we have let them go a pretty good way to doing that. Will you vote in November? Vote in November like your way of life depended on it! 
3	How to Lose Friends on Social Media: Question AuthorityBy James Holbrooks Not real friends. The real stuff is forged from memories and adamantium. Im not worried about that. No, the friends Im destined to lose are the type that can simply click a button and disappear me from their timeline. Ive been on Facebook since Christmasas in three weeks ago. Im sure thats hilarious to some. But it was always a conscious decision not to partake, and I stand by it. In the end there were two reasons that finally got me to pull the trigger. One was the very simple fact that Ive been homesick lately and Facebook seemed like the best way to get a fix. The other reason was much more analytical: Ive been writing so much about social media I figured I owed it to myself to fully explore it. And it was wild. A millisecond after I signed in friend requests came flying at me from all directions. Within days I was in contact with dozens of people from my pastold friends, extended family, exes, acquaintances, high school classmates Id nodded to a few times in the hallwayall people Id personally known. That was my rule, ya see. Id promised myself that Facebook would be strictly for happy thoughts. I had Twitter for all that nasty political shit, so Facebook would stay clean. What I very quickly discovered, though, was that nearly all these new friends of mine were still of the same upright, conservative mentality that our particular little patch of Texas churns out. Which is absolutely fine. I left well over a decade ago but that impulse in me to take people as they come can never be excised. How could it, considering where Im from? The real problem Im encountering on Facebook is that inherent to this upright, conservative mentality is the instant and unyielding support for the cops. Because, quite honestly, that was one piece of the marketing I never bought into. I never played cops and robbers. I never thought the uniform, the handcuffsthe badgelooked cool. In fact I have distinct memories of myself, as a kid, thinking how stupid these authorities looked in their costumes. And from the very first time some asshole shined his Maglite into my face for a solid five minutes because it made him feel tough after popping a bunch of high school freshmen drinking Miller Lite on the pier, Ive known there was something very much wrong with law enforcement in this country. Cops have just never impressed me, and I guess Im supposed to feel bad about that. Well, I dont. And yet I was still willing to set all that aside in the name of socialization. I truly wanted to connect with folks back home because, as I said, I was homesick. More so than I can possibly convey. And I tried. I really did. I ignored anything political at firstanything involving news at all, in factand stuck to Star Wars and rock n roll. You know, the happy stuff. But with the question of whether or not to support the cops polarizing the nation like never before, and with the overwhelming majority of my cyber-circle of friends ready to pounce upon anything that didnt resemble undying devotion to the badge (its meme after meme, article after article, thin blue line after thin blue line), it wasnt long before I recognized that Id be unable to abstain from the fray. It simply isnt in me. I lack both the patience and temperance required for such a feat. And sure enough, the first comment I posted (literally the very first comment) mildly criticizing an articles one-sided reporting instantly resulted in my getting hit with a private message. It was an old high school girlfriend whod married a cop, and she proceeded to explain how she has zero tolerance for those who question law enforcement. She further informed me that any additional negativity from me would result in my removal from her friends list. Back in high school she dropped me for a football player. That exchange was about a week ago, and in effect was the catalyst for this screed. Because it pissed me off. It summed up in three minutes everything I find repugnant about the prepackaged arguments of law enforcement apologists. Its always that we dont know what they go through. That we shouldnt criticize until weve been in their shoes. Which would be a valid point if cops were being conscripted into service. But theyre not. Its the profession they chosethat they continue to choose. If I wanted to know what cops deal with every day, Id be a cop. And of course this argument completely ignores the fact that what they go through is a direct result of a system that legislates criminals into being and that drives otherwise decent people to desperate acts through economic predation. Its always that the good outnumber the bad. That sure, there are a few rotten apples here and there but that doesnt give us the right to paint the whole of law enforcement with a broad brush. Nuts to that. Im an individualist. I dont collectivize. I know there are good people in the uniform, people who genuinely want to protect and serve. I dont think all cops are evil any more than I think all banking executives want to steal the last dime from your kids piggy bank. But the fact that Officer Jimmy Snuggle Bear is downtown helping an old lady cross the street has absolutely zero bearing on the fact that a system-wide control gridspearheaded by a rapidly rising police stateis being fashioned around us. No, sir, theyll say. Even if all that is true (and good luck getting an apologist to concede even that much) theres still a genuine need for security, therefore a genuine need for cops. And since you (me, evidenced by the finger digging into my chest) dont wanna do it, someone else has to. And hey, man, thats a tough gig and you just dont know what its like and some other stuff and Go Cowboys! and they hate us for our freedoms. This is the most frustrating aspect of the debate for me. Its this utter lack of vision that really drives me mad. Or hell, forget vision. How about some good old fashioned context? How about you take a step backjust for a secondand look at the big picture? How about you stop throwing blind loyalty behind a meticulously crafted symbol simply because your neighbors a cop or you grew up in a family of cops or because long ago you were brainwashed into thinking Dragnet was the real deal? You married a cop? Congratulations. May your days be filled with laughter. But a ring on a finger does not an argument make. The police are the enforcement arm of the elites. Thats what they are now, thats what theyve always been. They exist to extract revenue from the masses and provide security for our betters. Thats always been their purpose. Look it up. And again, Im not collectivizing. I know there are cops out there who truly believe. I know there are decent human beings in uniforms all over the country who signed up to protect their communities, who willingly put their lives on the line every day. I know this. But were talking about an agenda. A scheme targeted at an unsuspecting (though, clearly, increasingly aware) populace. The hard truth is that the good cop who thinks law enforcement is there to help people is every bit the sucker as the guy who cant understand why a pack of officers is shoving his head into the pavement. One has only to look at New York to see what the cops are all about. There, where police felt they were slighted by the mayor at the height of this recent scrutiny, cops effectively went on strike. And look what happened. Or, more accurately, look what didnt happen. Society didnt collapse and the streets werent rivers of blood. New Yorkers basically went about their business as usual, only with a few extra bucks in their pockets because the cops werent out ticketing anything with a pulse. What did happen, though, was that the brassrealizing how much money the city was losing and sweating the fact that people were beginning to get a whiff of just how unnecessary the NYPD isordered their revenue generators to get off their sorry asses and start generating some revenue. Have no idea what Im talking about, apologists? Look it up. Is there a genuine need for security? Of course there is. The most perfect society imaginable would still have its share of knuckleheads, and therefore a market for security would exist. But a security force doesnt necessarily mean cops as we know them today. This is what Im talking about. This complete lack of vision that apologists seem to suffer from. Its as if theyre incapable of imagining a societyand, by extension, that societys form of security measuresordered differently than that of our current one. Could it be that they actually think the system is perfect and nothing, ever, needs to be changed? Or are they simply unwilling to conduct a thorough examination of their surroundings? Either way, the apologist logic essentially boils down to support the cops because theyre the cops. I dont believe in a perfect society. To be perfect is to be static, and progress means always moving forward. And whose idea of perfection are we talking about, anyway? Yours? Mine? But what about a society in which security measures are tailored to meet market demands, as opposed to a one-size-fits-all policing model whose subsequent agencies act as an organ of a centralized power base? What about a society in which the functionaries of that power base arent actively seeking to strip the citizenry of their right to self-defense, thereby leaving them vulnerable to the aforementioned knuckleheads in the first place? Dont care for that? Try this one. The thinking goes that if only one innocent person is executed then the death penalty should be abolished. Im sure a lot of conservative-minded folks can get behind that. So why is that reasoning good for the death penalty but not good for police abuse? Every day were assaulted by story after story of people getting harassed, extorted, threatened, beaten or straight up iced by the police. And it inevitably turns out that some of those people werent guilty of a goddamn thing. Do you cry for them at night, apologists? Or do you skip those stories on the way to the funny pages? Im tired of being told Im ignorant of the facts or insensitive to the cops plight. Im tired of listening to justifications as to why I should support the police or, worse yet, as to why theyre really doing a bang-up job. Im tired of hearing stories about twelve-year-old boys getting gunned down for having toy pistols in their waistbands or stories about babies getting their faces melted by flash grenades (Didnt hear about the boy in Cleveland, apologists? Missed that one about the baby in Georgia? Look it up.). But perhaps more than anything else Im tired of no one being held to account. I didnt include any links in this thing. Why should I? If my Facebook explorations have taught me anything its that logic and documentation mean little to the apologist. But if theyre so inclined they can do the work themselves. Who knows, maybe a mind or two would change in the process. As for me, Ive done the reading. Ive taken the hard look. I know exactly where I stand, and as distasteful as it might be to those destined to delete me, I know exactly why Im standing there.

Law Enforcement Apology = Evidence of Internalized Influence of Stockholm Syndrome Mindless obedience and unquestioning loyalty to any perceived authority will pave the way for corruption. This is the incremental path we have taken over the years and the lack of honest checks and balances have given rise to despotism. As these groups increase in corruption and criminal activity, it attracts more of the same mindset and and immorality. A decaying beast always attracts all manner of scavengers. I liked the part about not including links, classic. I really dont have an answer as to why you should have included them. How could I even begin to answer after all your facebook exploring? It would be a fools errand to go up against that kind of research! Nowhere in the above article did the author say that he used Facebook to research stories about police wrongdoing. At most, he made a comment about an article and received a nasty PM. He simply stated that it would be useless to include them because he knew that the hardline apologists would never click the links. Well he does say If my Facebook explorations have taught me anything which, I guess, isnt really a claim of research, butit is an excuse A great article and written. But you can forget about altering the opinion of simple-minded folk who worship political power and police authority. Ive found the more facts presented to the apologist the deeper they dig their heels in. Some folks will have to find out the hard way. Yes. Its a form of bigotry. Great work. One perplexing aspect that you bring forth: where is it written that all persons in association must think the same? I have alienated friends not from vulgarity or rudeness, but from their fear that I dare think differently than the norm. They hate facts and attack you. Why cant they just hang out having learned you harbor the intellectual possibility 9/11 was a false flag. They cant stand you being academic about evidence and physical possibilities. They are heavily invested in trusting a system that has rewarded them, that they dont understand, but know that they better wear the right tie to fit in and not be pushed off the gravy-train. Because to *believe* you would *break* their world. If they were to consider what you said true, it would pull out the rug from under all the little lies they tell themselves about how the world works. Additionally, the vast majority of people are joiners and the most terrifying thing to a joiner is to be seen as different or not fitting in with the crowd. I find it is far better to be an idea farmer. When you talk to people, you throw a few seed ideas their way. If those seeds sprout, then you feed them more and they blossom. If, however, your initial seeds dont take, you just move on to greener pastures. Realize that you cant change anyones mind they have to change it so spend your efforts on fertile minds, not the brain-dead youll be a lot happier Ive also learned to become an Idea farmer. This is a great concept and it works, because beating your head against a brick wall hurts your head and does nothing to the wall. Idea farmer Thats a great picture and succinctly demonstrates the concept. Thanks for that. Ill adopt that approach and stop banging my head against the brick wall. Well said! I wondered at first if you had been talking to everyone I know. I cant believe how many people live with their head in the sand. It has been that way all along but it took 9/11 to separate those who are sheep in sheeps clothing from the independent thinkers. My sister thought i,d gone mad , when i commented on 9/11 and the strange things that happened that day, as she believed everything the Main stream media told her. Great article James. Well written, passionate, and heart felt. There are many who feel the same way, but I have realised that unfortunately there will always be those sheeple who are blindly led by a symbol yet dont know why. You cant save everybody, but who knows, maybe someone somewhere just changed their mind, because of you. But a security force doesnt necessarily mean cops as we know them Well put indeed! The law and order crowd simply cannot think outside the box. Yet brain-dead political reactionaries refuse to even consider, let alone discuss creative alternatives to the Amerikan police state. Excellent piece here, thanks for so eloquently and accurately depicting the dont show support, be shunned by the social masses mentality that exists out there. I obtained a Police Science education back in the early 80s and I can tell you this much, even back then my instructor (a long-time, former Cop himself) was dismayed with how much Law Enforcement had changed for the worse in 20+ years hed been involved with itnamely that a arrest em all and let the D.A. sort em out sort of psyche was being expected and embraced by Law Enforcement organizations in general throughout the country. He also lamented about how Cops were given less-and-less field discretion as compared to how things were when he had been a Patrol Officer, unless of course the use of discretionary force was involvedthen it seemed as though open season was being declared with impunity on the bad guys. Theres a great deal more that I could write in regard to that, but this post would become a novel if I did. Also, I had a great-Uncle whom retired in the mid 70s as a Captain on a local (pretty good sized city) Police Department and oddly enough, he actually talked me out of becoming a LEOsaying that if I wanted to serve my community that Id be better off becoming a Firefighter and/or E.M.S. personnel because he had seen the direction that things were going in Law Enforcement. One of the more poignant things he said was (and I quote), Cops are quickly becoming nothing more than revenue producing agents for their communities, and believe me when I saya trained ape could do an equally effective job. Well, I took good ole Uncle Georges advice and most happily became a Firefighter/EMT-D instead of an LEO, and doing so was one of the best decisions Id ever made. All-in-all, I havent been, Im not now and never will be enamored by the uniform and realize that the badge and gun dont make the Copwhats in his/her brain and heart does and unfortunately, it seems as though the absolute WRONG type of individual is donning the uniform. Often times, for all the wrong reasons (and the same goes for military personnel IMO, but thats another article/post) people become Cops and if they themselves arent guilty of abusing their positions of authoritytheyre guilty of watching it happen within their ranks and tolerating it, so theres obvious guilt by association regardless. Thanks again and Ill end with this profound and applicable quote Police officers routinely lie, particularly to save their own skins, and when they do, they make credible witnesses. Judge Richard Neely West Virginia Supreme Appellate Court How about writing that novel? Perhaps one day I will charkee but as for now (and in the foreseeable future), songwriting and making music is where my passion lies. Fortunately, profound messages (i.e. thoughts, ideas, etc.) can be shared through a lyric and the music that carries it along equally as well as a novel. : -) You made me smile Jwriter. I have been telling all musicians of all genres of musical artistic expression they are going to be used in a mass awakening. If our universe is built on a harmonics and vibrations helping to wake up those in an amnesia like trance from all the side effects of social engineering via music, drums, sounds, pitch colors and symbols used in videos etc.so many wonderful avenues to use in this mass awakening. I was to share that there are already 7 special programed beings in place: two in U.S.A. and the other 5 at key places (such as where the grids of this Earth are controlled and being reactivated). I have been told to share this message when certain musicians come my way. I am just the messengerthey are the composers and the performers on their musical instrumentsthe artists in their wonderful music videos.so powerful many that come my way. So, artists listen with your musical ears because lyrics, melodies will be coming your way. Do not know why I was to share this with different musical artists for several yearsbut the ones I told this were very happy, the method was something like total sound resonance. Have no idea what that means. Many kids hear from their parents why dont you get a job that pays money when the young teen is strumming his guitar playing music and singing from his heart strings. These youngsters thank me for my words of encouragement. Jwriter send my way any music you create. OK. Excited to read your comment. Peace and may music fill the hearts of the hurting Human Race music can heal the broken hearts of all the pain caused by the war machine. : -) A most wonderful article and peoples thoughtful shares of wisdom. I feel like I could soar high over the mountain tops right now. I think I shall see what musical gifts came on my FB News feed today. Happy waking the sleeping Americans, it is time. :-))) FB needs some light among all the mis and dis information that this space is created forconfusion and to be nosey but the kids hang here and need some good information that is why I am there. I do know a handful of good Police Officersit is the new breed that scares the be-jesus out of me. Yeah. Hello Nancy and thanks so much, it pleased me a great deal to read what for me was the confirmation I was looking for as I move forward with a lyrically poignant (and hopefully, profound) song that Ive recently penned. I do indeed believe that youre the messenger Ive been awaiting, and its always exciting (as a receiver of such) when a validating message comes throughI in the past have been told by others from time-to-time that MY validation/confirmation of their activity is what THEY were awaiting, so Ive been on the giver side of the fence as well. The song Im working on is entitled, How Many? and was written in one sitting (which sometimes happens when I write, rolls out of my mind and onto the paper) and is intended to cause the listener/reader to think of the known innocent casualty of aggressive military action as well as the misconception that we as a nation believe were somehow special in the Creators eyes (the manifest destiny dogma thats unfortunately so predominant). Without any further adieu, here is the lyric itself for you to reviewits copyrighted through my PRO (BMI) so Im not worried about anyone pirating it from me. Should you feel led to reply, that would be greatif not, thats ok too, however you might be directed that way is fine with me. Thanks once again. How Many Vs.1 Vs. 2 Chorus Vs. 3 Chorus How many times? 2014 J.M.U. Music (BMI) I have a friend who became a policeman challenging for him to find a decent position without experience. . I told him he is too nice and they do not want Nice Cops. I told him just be near when the shiiite hits the fan if something close to Martial Law is passed I told him, I may need a friend within the force because of the work that I am trying to do of waking up Americans to what is really going on. So many can not get their heads out their arse or sand where ever they keep their eyes from the light of day. This was a great article and comments wonderful too. Thanks for a share of information without being ignorant. Refreshing. :-)Grateful for sharing such insight. I figured out what cops were all about when I was four years old, when I watched one beat a dog to death for no reason. The dog was tied up and quiet and bothering no one. The uniform, the badge, the whole silly paranoia of protection syndrome is nothing more than evidence of people refusing to take responsibility for their own safety and relying on the authorities to make an the world safe. Its delusional thinking dressed in riot gear. An apologist friend of mine put it succinctly to me a few weeks ago: Yes, because you saw cops beat a dog, you have decided that all police are that callous and ruthless. Well reasoned. Thats essentially the definition of stereotyping. You chose your name wrong. Youre not enlightened youre a bigot. Call them when your home is broken into and someone is trying to steal your shit or harm you. God, this site is so full of pussies. I was four years old, Im now 62. No cop I have ever met since has done anything to erase my first impression and I dont call them for anything ever. I take responsibility for my own safety. If thats being a pussy, then what are you? Well, if you dont call cops for anything ever, at least you are not a hypocrite, which is more than can be said for most of the people spouting off on this website. The pussy comment was uncalled for and rude I do apologize. I read articles like this and all of the comments supporting it and I wonder if folks realize that police literally put their lives on the line for the public safety every day. Scoff at that truth all you want, call it apologist rhetoric, but they do. I dont know how you can call it paranoia of protection. That simply doesnt make any sense to me. And judging an entire group of people based on the impression you (or anyone) has had with a few members of said group, is true bigotry. I understand some people have a problem with authority figures. Personally, I dont. I understand there are some cops out there who are truly bad people and they use their position to torture and harm and frighten the innocent. An example of why police are needed: Not everyone can fend for themselves. The most vulnerable members of our society children, the elderly, etc., need protection from those who would do them harm. Are the people on this site doing anything at all to protect those vulnerable populations? Are the people on this site stopping drunk drivers or abusive husbands or murderers? Probably not. Im sorry you had to see that horrible thing when you were so young. Apology accepted. Since you appear to be a kind person after all, let me just say to your comment that if some (percentage unknown) cops are murdering and torturing people and getting away with it, how safe is it to call one of them into your space? I have always had a problem with authority figures because I never granted any of them authority over me. The paranoia of protection statement means that people are programmed by the media to be paranoid of risk and danger. Life on earth is filled with risk, you cannot authorize anyone to magically show up and take that away and keep you safe. Its called taking responsibility. I am sure there are good cops who might get the chance to put murderers in prison, but they are also putting people in the same prison for smoking marijuana, which I find completely insane and unacceptable. 1/4 of the cops are too evil. 1/4 of the cops are too stupid. 1/4 of the cops are too fat. America sounds like it is becoming a clone of the terrorist State of Israel. Thanks for a terrific article. Im with you 100%. Id rather live a lonely life and be true to myself than have a plethora of friends and live a lie. We have been conditioned to the HERD mentality. Socrates also taught the tale of The Cave which is important in understanding why people in large groups cling to lies. We are teaching narcissism to our children and they are becoming hollow. There is one other thing that may be happening that has come to me over the years of attempting to wrap my head around the enigma of the dysfunctional american society. A kind of filter is taking place. Idiots following the blind right over a cliff. And you cant tell them that. The time has come for those who have eyes and see and the courage to speak the truth to come together and organize. It is best to do this face to face. We have conditioned our society to communicate through devices to an unnatural extent and will have to relearn the natural personal interface. The community gathering places during the revolution were instrumental in patriots sharing ideas and information, formulating some effective plans and putting then into action. If it worked then, it will work now. There were only 10 -15 % of the population that did this so dont expect huge crowds in the beginning. Our system that has been corrupted with cronyism and despotism will never fix itself, so we must find the courage ourselves to do this. We are the only ones who can. Texas, is the most crooked, fascist bootlicking state in existence. Drive down the Lone Star state and say that to a Texan. Exercising stupidity like that wont demonstrate intelligence, unsurprisingly. You dont need to say something to someones face to legitimise it as being truth. Thats like saying Hitler wasnt bad, because a Jewish person never criticised him to his face. And judging by their implied reaction that only seeks to demonstrate their indoctrination in violence and authoritarianism though their wanton and liberal application of it on fellow citizens only exercising their democratic right to freedom of speech, a founding principal of America. How can they not be authoritarian and fascist if the moment someone offers a differing opinion to theirs its met with violence, thats pretty much the definition of fascism, as thats exactly how Mussolini and Hitler behaved In fact by making that statement youve just proven Jack to be more correct. Godwins Law- While arguing on the internet- Invoking comparisons in an argument to Hitler- unless you are specifically talking about the History of Germany- means you lose the argument. So You LOSE! I was talking about Fascism. Not Hitler, I was using Hitler as an example of a fascist mindset alongside another example; Mussolini. Also to not allow someone to mention a persons name is pretty fascist a thing to want to vocally subscribe to. And to suggest that someone loses or wins with regard to discussing around a topic without a specific aim clearly suggests a level of maturity beneath what is expected to appreciate any level of debate in the first place. Whine on, you tiresome twit. Youve never been to New Jersey, have you? Wonderful essay! Now it is time be a competent adult by refusing all fraud and its evil fruits: losethename.com thanks. great comments. another factor in this mindless support is the TV. the endless drivel cop shows about how wonderful these human beings are. and if they break the law, its for your own good and they are the sheep dogs and you are the sheep. jesus. and while I am a great fan of Tom Selleck, the show Blue Bloods is one of the worst offenders. what a sanctimonious piece of shiite that show is. even the title, indicating, most subtly, that cops are royalty. so, as we know, about half of the population is below average in IQ (!), and after endless years of public indoctrination (ahem, education), the ability of the average person to critically judge a subject is a bit on the low side. (go!, cowboys.) yes, there is a need for peace officers, like there is a need for garbage collectors, and even city administrators. this does not make them special or better or exempt. its just an effing job. and its that tough, quit. and being a cop is not even close to the most dangerous job in america. shooting unarmed people, kids with toy guns, and family dogs is not exactly something to be proud of either. and for all you swat dips, if you like dressing up like wannabe warriors, join the damn marine corps. lets see how you do when people are shooting back. watching you pathetic idiots prancing around with all your military toys is very sad. I suspect that one of the reasons why many of these individuals have the attitude they have, is because they have never actually encountered an officer in the course of his or her duty; and who are, as you say, in fact corporate, and not public, servants. You can fired and should fired half of the cops and this country would still be fine. James, ditto on your observations, experiences and outlook. Let the two-by-fours start bringing reality to the apologist sheeple. Sad as it is thats all that will really get thru. Now get back to work on your bunker and preparations and stop trying to help those that dont want to be helped. Let the two-by-four take over. Jeff you sound like a little punk that just grew into an older little punk I still dont use facebook because it asks for your picture and name. Police lie and they lie all the time. Dont talk to them for any reason. Truth to them is nothing but an annoyance. They have been trained to lie, its a good way to catch liars and to get confessions whether they are true or not. I repeat do not talk to the police, even if you have nothing to hide, the slightest honestly mistaking inconsistency on your part could get you a long term stay in prison. Keep stressing this. Watched a great clip of an Investigator showing how even the simplest statement proving your innocence can be twisted against you. I disagree with you. But I recognize your right to state your opinion, however utterly wrong it might be. Thats America! Right on ! Of course joining Facebook is questionable, but the rest is where its at today. Then you see things like this article. mirror.co.uk/news/technology-science/science/mystery-ufo-spotted-near-international-4989829 The authors have to use Conspiracy nuts a couple of times while saying it could be a Balloon, Ice, or some other bit of nonsense, and it also says people are nuts to think N.A.S.A cuts to another camera view when something shows on its cameras. Like this one. youtube.com/watch?v=Mloo3kxQfFM Just because today we get our news from a variety of sources online, we can see pattens quicker, or more anomalies that otherwise would have gone unnoticed in the newspaper age. Sure, take for example one can see in 1947 some strange things happen. Admiral Byrd goes to the Antarctic (operation highjump) in January for 8 months, but gets run out after 8 weeks. Tells newspaper in Chile that that disks can fly from pole to pole in short time. U.F.O Crash alleged in Roswell N.M in July. National Security Act passed in September creating the C.I.A, N.S.A. ect. First Transistor made in Dec of the same year. Sure, it could all be some strange set of happenstances, but it could also be directly connected as some have speculated. Thats the real beauty of the Internet. It will take time for people to become use to the change over from the C.M.M telling then what something is, to getting use to making real observations that point to a different conclusion, and be able to argue a case for it. Its just going to take time. QUESTION GOVERNMENT and LOOSE FRIENDS FAMILY DUDE Each and every point you have made I have been trying to get through to these people. I think people who accept religion especially (although not exclusively), are predisposed to accept that authority exists above and beyond man. For those that dont abide by religion we have created education which does the trick nicely in its place. They can never step back enough to realize that all of this is a construct of the very same people they live amongst. It is as if the police, judges and such are not just people wearing silly uniforms, but are actually some other type of entity that can never be re-evaluated and discovered to be failed. No matter what happens, or how bad the things are that they do, a complete restructuring of this system which is outside the scope and understanding of any of us (although conceived and created by us), can never be entertained. Before they can reach this point cognitive dissonance takes over. Sad to say, but Facebook is only for pasting fluffy kitten pictures and cute, innocuous stuff. The original post title was How To Lose Friends On Social Media. Not a single persons opinion on law enforcement. Misleading title for the actual substance and point of the post. Cops and law enforcement? As for losing friends based on your feelings/thoughts on law enforcement , it isnt surprising you lose friendsespecially when you consider if your posting subjects are always left of your so called friends politics. Duh. Its okay to go against the mainstream thinking. The key to it is understanding that you will not be liked or followed or listened to much. Thats life. And as for your loose interpretation of the word friends, I suggest they were not friends but acquaintances at best, whom you already said were not of the same ideals as your own. Want friends to not drop youstick to the conspiracy and anti gov, sites. Stick to like minded people. If you dont youre bound to be disappointed if friendship is what you want. And there are Facebook profiles with people that would embrace your ideals. Just got to find em. Brilliant essay! awesome article. so true. Btw, with domestic violence by cops more than half the national rate, your first girlfriend may be changing her tune. Id put money on her being in an abusive relationship. In my experience, such rigidity has a boatload of fear and denial buried underneath 
1	With NFL free agency now in full swing, league sources confirmed Wednesday that a whirlwind past 24 hours has resulted in every single player from every team being traded, announcing his retirement, signing with a new team, getting cut, and then re-signing with a different team. The dust is obviously still settling, but the balance of power has undoubtedly shifted in all eight divisions across the league as over 1,500 players have now agreed to contracts with their new organizations, said ESPN analyst Adam Schefter, explaining that players each switched teams an average of 57 times yesterday while being traded, cut, and then retiring from the NFL, before then coming out of retirement to be signed, cut, re-signed, cut again, re-signed again, and then traded continuously every 30 minutes or so for the subsequent 18 hours. Itll be interesting to see how Calvin Johnson does next season after being cut by the Lions, signing with the Browns, getting traded to Houston, getting traded again to Minnesota, announcing his retirement, signing with the Eagles two hours later, getting cut an hour after that, signing with the Jets, and then getting traded back to the Lions in exchange for Brandon Pettigrew and a third-round draft pick. Of course, this will also depend on whether the Jets end up keeping Pettigrew or, as its being rumored, ship him to the Packers for Russell Wilson in a 19-team trade that would take Andrew Luck to the Cowboys, send Antonio Brown and Justin Tuck to the Chiefs, and bring J.J. Watt back to the Saints, where he was just released about five minutes ago. At press time, sources confirmed that final terms on 14,367 new trades around the NFL are currently being finalized. 
1	Saying it was a time in his life when he was more open to testing his boundaries, 28-year-old Stephen McCall told reporters Thursday that he had experimented with sex back in college. Yeah, I tried it back in school, but thats just what being at college is for, you know? said McCall, adding that though he had dabbled in sex during his four years at Illinois State University, he never took it all that seriously and has not engaged in it since. Of course, eventually I got older and found that sex wasnt for me. But even though sex was just a phase that ended at graduation, I dont regret exploring in the least. McCall went on to say that pretty much everyone he knew had experimented with sex at least a little and that anyone who denied it was probably lying. 
2	Trump Just Shocked The World With What He Did LIVE On Saturday Night Live This is the last thing people expected to see from Donald Trump when he made a guest appearance on Saturday Night Live. One of the skits Trump took part in was a parody on Drakes hit song, Hotline Bling. In it, Trump shows off his dance moves. Not only did he dance, but also sang along to the lyrics. The social media reaction to this has been off the charts. Do you think the president should have a good sense of humor? Saturday Night Live (@nbcsnl) November 8, 2015 
1	Admitting that he could hardly even recognize her, local 12-year-old Ethan Harrelson was reportedly surprised Monday by how much bigger his aunt Judy Stohl had gotten since the previous year. Oh, my, look at youyou were just about half this size when I last saw you. Whats Uncle Peter feeding you over there? said a visibly amazed Harrelson, adding that he could barely wrap his arms around his 56-year-old aunt to give her a hug. Wow, looks like your old clothes are barely fitting you. At this rate, youll probably be as big as Grandpa the next time I see you! At press time, Harrelson could be overheard marveling at how it looked like Stohl even had a bit of a mustache coming in. 
3	Gerald Celente: Banker Suicides the Prequel to Global CollapseNextNewsNetwork Winston Churchill the day after Black Friday observed, Under my very window a gentleman cast himself down fifteen stories and was dashed to pieces, causing a wild commotion and the arrival of the fire brigade, Nearly eighty-five years later the phenomenon of banker suicides appears to have returned. The week of January 20th would be the last for Swiss Re AG communications director Tim Dickenson but wouldnt be the last in a string of deaths and suicides for International bankers. Just days after Dickensons death on January 26, police found former Deutsche Bank executive Bill Broeksmit in his South Kensington London home after hed hung himself. The next day on January 27, JP Morgan senior manager Gabriel Magee, jumped 500 feet to his death from JP Morgans central London Headquarters he was a 39-year-old A few days later on January 29, Cheif Economist for Seattle based Russel investments, Mike Dueker, was reported missing by friends, he was found later at the base of a 50-foot embankment. Police called it a suicide. Last week on, February 17th, Dennis Li Junjie jumped to his death, shortly after lunch, from a the roof of the Asian headquarters for JP Morgan he was only 33. In the last eight months there have been at least 12 reported deaths of bankers perishing under questionable circumstances. High-stress banking careers are being blamed for the recent suicides. However, the answer may not be that simple. Returning to the program, via Skype from his New York office, to give us insight into these deaths is Gerald Celente publisher of the Trends Journal.

3	Worldwide Study: Fertilizer Destabilizing Grasslandsselfnews Post More nitrogen means more production, but its less stable, said Johannes M.H. Knops, a University of Nebraska-Lincoln biologist and one of the papers international co-authors. There are more good years and more bad years. Not all years are going to be good and the bad years are going to be worse. The three-year study monitored real-world grasslands at 41 locations on five continents. The sites included alpine grasslands in China, tallgrass prairies in the United States, pasture in Switzerland, savanna in Tanzania and old fields in Germany. Two sites in Nebraska were part of the study, the Cedar Point Biological Station near Ogallala and the Barta Brothers Ranch in the Sandhills near Valentine. While public attention has grown about elevated levels of carbon dioxide and global warming, Knops said elevated levels of mineral nitrogen in the environment also are concerning. While its rare for ranchers and farmers to fertilize rangeland and pasture, grasslands are affected by nitrogen deposition that results from burning fossil fuels, as well as from fertilizer runoff and ammonia volatilization from cropland. Knops said fertilizer overuse could intensify the detrimental effects of drought on grasslands, such as the drought that devastated cattle herds in Texas and Oklahoma from 2011-13, when Texas lost about 15 percent of its cattle herd, or about 2 million animals. It also could have ripple effects during bad years by reducing the plant cover, which increases erosion, and decreases water filtration and carbon sequestration benefits provided by grasslands. The Nature article, Eutrophication weakens stabilizing effects of diversity in natural grasslands, is one of several research articles on the relationships between grassland diversity, productivity and stability, generated by the Nutrient Network experiment. Knops called it an unprecedented experiment. In the past you didnt see a collaborative effort at a really large scale like this in biology or in ecology, he said.

1	In a breakthrough study that contradicts decades of understanding about the nature of alligatordrunkard relations, Louisiana State University researchers have concluded that peoples drunkenness does not impair the ancient reptiles ability to inflict enormous physical harm. Alligators exhibit the potential to inflict serious harm, regardless of the blood-alcohol levels of their victims. Our data strongly indicates that human intoxication does not transform an alligator into a docile creature that enjoys wrestling, said professor Ryder McCrory, chair of the Wildlife Taunting Department of LSUs prestigious Center For Bullying And Hazing Studies. Despite its slow-witted demeanor and tendency to bask motionlessly in the hot sun, its a mistake to believe that an alligator will passively tolerate a half nelson, no matter how much Southern Comfort is fueling it. McCrory said the study yielded statistics that speak for themselves. In 10 out of 10 documented cases of violent alligatordrunkard encounters, the reptile was not influenced by the fact that the victim was just kidding or just having some fun, McCrory said. To an alligator, McCrory explained, a human forearm, even drunkenly dangled between the creatures casually opened jaws, still appears to be prey. In field experiments, members of the control group performed no better-and often far worsethan their sober counterparts in defending themselves against a 300-pound, seven-foot bull alligator. Even when armed with an empty tequila bottle. At best, the bottles bounced harmlessly off the alligators snout, said LSU research assistant Tracy Sawyer. When placed in water, the drunken volunteers fared even worse, and the alligator markedly better, Sawyer said. In addition, the alligators far outperformed their inebriated human counterparts in the following areas: lunging, biting, crushing, dismembering, and swallowing. Drunkard Jim Boudreaux taunts the alligator he called a total pussy in front of friends. According to the study, an alligators characteristic grin should not be interpreted as a lighthearted reaction to the outrageous nerve of an alcohol-addled human. Dont let an alligators easygoing appearance fool you, Sawyer said. These creatures have no empathy for drunken pranksters looking for fun. They are not black bears. McCrory recommended that alligator wrestling be undertaken solely by professionals, specifically roadside-attraction proprietors. For drunkards interested in proving their mettle with alligators, the researchers proposed these guidelines: Instead of baiting an alligator, seek another form of drunken recreation, such as attending a strip club, burning a pile of tires, or painting ones buttocks with a funny face and videotaping it. Sick or infant deer are considered a far safer match for most inebriated humans; kicking a raccoon or squirrel already dying by the side of the road is also recommended. Experts suggest that those who become aggressive after consuming alcohol would be safer channeling that energy into more constructive behavior, such as calling an ex-lover. And McCrory warned drunkards who absolutely must assault an alligator while inebriated to first make sure it is not a John Deere Gator cargo utility vehicle. This oversight is a common occurrence, he said.

3	Multiple Government Agencies Are Keeping Records Of Your Credit Card TransactionsMichael Snyder This is one of the reasons why the government hates cash so much. It is just so hard to track. In this day and age, the federal government seems to be absolutely obsessed with gathering as much information about all of us as it possibly can. But there is one big problem. What they are doing directly violates the U.S. Constitution. For those that are not familiar with it, the following is what the Fourth Amendment actually says: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Unfortunately, the Fourth Amendment is essentially dead at this point. The federal government is investigating all of us and gathering information on all of us all day, every day without end. Many Americans have never even heard of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, butJudicial Watch has discovered that they are spending millions of dollars to collect and analyze our financial transactions Judicial Watch announced today that it has obtained records from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) revealing that the agency has spent millions of dollars for the warrantless collection and analysis of Americans financial transactions. The documents also reveal that CFPB contractors may be required to share the information with additional government entities. How do you feel about the fact that the government has contracts with multiple credit reporting agencies and accounting firms to gather, store, and share credit card data? How do you feel about the fact that your credit card data and other non-public, confidential information may be shared with additional government entities? Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton put it very well when he said that this warrantless collection of the private financial information of millions of Americans is mind-blowing. Is there anything that this administration thinks it cant do? But of course the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is not the only one keeping records of your credit card transactions. We have also recently learned that the NSA is doing it too. The following is from a recent Time Magazine article Networks are most likely giving the government metadata. That is, the credit card issuers could provide the NSA details such as an account or card number, where and when a purchase was made, and for how much. Even though the exact items purchased arent revealed, Brian Krebs, who blogs at KrebsOnSecurity.com, says merchant category codes in such data give clues about what was bought. If the NSA is collecting data at the processor level, at that point the transaction gets cleared and posts to an account, so, yes, you can track it down to a person, Aufsesser says. The NSA conceivably could and probably would be able get the names of individual account holders from banks issuing credit cards.I dont see how you would anonymize it, says Al Pascual, senior analyst for security, risk and fraud for Javelin Strategy Research. We are rapidly becoming a Big Brother society where the government tracks virtually every move that we make. And dont think that you can escape this by not using credit cards or by staying off of the Internet. The truth is that we are being tracked in hundreds of different ways. For example, have you heard of automated license plate readers? They are being installed on police vehicles all over the nation, and the amount of information that they are gathering on all of us is frightening. A computer security consultant named Michael Katz-Lacabe asked the city of San Leandro, California for a record of every time that these license plate readers had scanned his vehicle, and what he discoveredabsolutely stunned him The paperback-size device, installed on the outside of police cars, can log thousands of license plates in an eight-hour patrol shift. Katz-Lacabe said it had photographed his two cars on 112 occasions, including one image from 2009 that shows him and his daughters stepping out of his Toyota Prius in their driveway. That photograph, Katz-Lacabe said, made him frightened and concerned about the magnitude of police surveillance and data collection. The single patrol car inSan Leandroequipped with a plate reader had logged his car once a week on average, photographing his license plate and documenting the time and location. At a rapid pace, and mostly hidden from the public, police agencies throughout California have been collecting millions of records on drivers and feeding them to intelligence fusion centers operated by local, state and federal law enforcement. Most Americans do not even know that these devices exist, but they have been collecting millions of records and feeding them into law enforcement databases all over the nation. In San Diego alone, more than 36 million license plate scans have been fed into a regional database just since 2010 In San Diego, 13 federal and local law enforcement agencies have compiled more than 36 million license-plate scans in a regional database since 2010 with the help of federal homeland security grants. The San Diego Association of Governments maintains the database. Like the Northern California database, the San Diego system retains the data for between one and two years. License-plate data is clearly identifiable to specific individuals, said Lee Tien, a senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. This is like having your barcode tracked. Is this the kind of society that we want to become? Do we really want the police to be taking millions of photographs of us? Do we really want all of our financial transactions to be fed directly into federal databases? Do we really want the government to track every phone call we make and every email we send? As I wrote about recently, it has been documented that literally thousands of companies have been handing over customer data to the NSA. Is this the kind of legacy that we want to leave for our children and our grandchildren? Fortunately, it appears that at least some Americans are waking up to all of this. According to a brand new Rasmussen survey, 56 percent of likely voters in the United States now believe that the federal government is a threat to individual rights A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% of Likely U.S. Voters now consider the federal government a threat to individual rights rather than a protector of those rights. Thats up 10 points from 46% in December. While 54% of liberal voters consider the feds to be a protector of individual rights, 78% of conservatives and 49% of moderates see the government as a threat. Overall, only 30% believe the feds today are a protector of individual rights. Fourteen percent (14%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.) If the American people do not stand up and demand change, the people that are constantly violating our privacy are going to continue to do so. Sadly, the vast majority of the politicians in both major political parties seem to think that there is nothing wrong with the status quo. So I wouldnt expect any major changes in the short-term. But hopefully government surveillance will start to become such a major issue with the American people that the politicians will be forced to start addressing it.

2	BREAKING: Obama Just ReThere are many conspiracy theories surrounded President Barack Obama. But no matter what the rumors, the truth is that he has demonstrated a lesser pride for America than any other president before him. If you want proof of this, look no further than the White House logo, which was redesigned in 2009 after Obama was sworn into office. The White House logo has traditionally looked like a portrait of the North Face of the White House. When Obama redesigned the logo, there is no longer an American flag, but a white flag. The white flag is historically a symbol for surrender, which led many to believe that Obama was sending a message loud and clear to our enemies: under his rule, America would surrender. While that theory may seem far-fetched, what we do know is that Obama has disrespected the flag countless times while in office. What do you think of this redesign? 
2	BREAKING: CDC Admits That Ebola Has Gone Airborne According to recent reports, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have essentially admitted that the Ebola virus is now airborne. That means that it can now spread form host to host through the air, not just through contact with bodily fluids, as health professionals once asserted. A new poster released by the CDC claims, Droplet spread happens when germs traveling inside droplets that are coughed or sneezed from a sick person enter the eyes, nose, or mouth of another person. Droplets travel short distances, less than 3 feet from one person to another. In this case less than 3 feet means that you could contract the virus simply standing within reach of someone. Even scarier is the fact that the virus remains unconfined. Even nurses have gone public with their concerns that this may not be the last amendment coming from the CDC, given that everyone seems to be completely unsure of how to treat the problem. And skeptics believe that the virus has actually been airborne for some time now, and we are only receiving partial truths. Because the World Health Organization was unable to stop Ebola in its tracks, we are current dealing with a virus that is already taking a portion of the population in West Africa. And Obama continues to institute travel restrictions. What do you think? Does Ebola need to be taken more seriously?

3	Marijuana Proven to Kill Cancer in New Documentaryselfnews Post Nowhere is this phenomenon more compelling than in the treatment of children, who are ignorant of the stigma of medicinal marijuana and whose parents will stop at nothing to help them. Weed the People looks beyond pot-activist propaganda and politics to reveal the legitimate science behind cannabis medicine and the compelling stories of ordinary people whose lives are inescapably caught up in the controversy. In July 2013 new parents Tracy and Josh Ryan received the devastating news that their 7-month-old baby Sophie had an inoperable brain tumor. The doctors prescribed chemotherapy as the only course of treatment, but could not guarantee it would work. Tracy Ryan felt intuitively that western medicine alone would not be enough to save her daughter. After intensive research, the Ryans began Sophie on a regimen of medicinal cannabis oils, hoping for a miracle. The most fascinating area of cannabis research revolves around an element of the marijuana plant called Cannabidiol, (CBD) a powerful antioxidant that does not produce the psychotropic effects of THC. CBD shows a unique ability to kill cancer cells in early laboratory tests. Watch the extended trailer for this documentary below: Documentary to be released soon.

3	DARPAs Autonomous Microdrones Designed to Enter HousesNicholas West This has been the promise that the Air Force made quite clear in their video early last year about nanodrone tech that you can see below. According to the USAF, Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs), combined with the ability to harvest energy, will enable insect-sized drone swarms to be dropped from military aircraft to stay aloft for a prolonged amount of time, offering a host of functions, including assassination. DARPA is now announcing a new wave of these microdrones under their Fast Lightweight Autonomy program. As the name indicates, they ideally would like humans to be completely removed from the control process. DARPAs press release below clearly states overseas as the theater of operation, but it doesnt take much imagination to see how these microdrones could be applied in the U.S., especially amid an increasingly tense urban environment in the wake of confrontations with domestic police. And, as always, the tantalizing application in disaster relief paves the way for easy introduction. (My emphasis added in press release) *** DARPA aims to give small unmanned aerial vehicles advanced perception and autonomy to rapidly search buildings or other cluttered environments without teleoperation. Military teams patrolling dangerous urban environments overseas and rescue teams responding to disasters such as earthquakes or floods currently rely on remotely piloted unmanned aerial vehicles to provide a birds-eye view of the situation and spot threats that cant be seen from the ground. But to know whats going on inside an unstable building or a threatening indoor space often requires physical entry, which can put troops or civilian response teams in danger. To address these challenges, DARPA issued a Broad Agency Announcement solicitation today for the Fast Lightweight Autonomy (FLA) program. FLA focuses on creating a new class of algorithms to enable small, unmanned aerial vehicles to quickly navigate a labyrinth of rooms, stairways and corridors or other obstacle-filled environments without a remote pilot. The solicitation is available here: http://go.usa.gov/MGWx The program aims to develop and demonstrate autonomous UAVs small enough to fit through an open window and able to fly at speeds up to 20 meters per second (45 miles per hour)while navigating within complex indoor spaces independent of communication with outside operators or sensors and without reliance on GPS waypoints. Birds of prey and flying insects exhibit the kinds of capabilities we want for small UAVs, said Mark Micire, DARPA program manager. Goshawks, for example, can fly very fast through a dense forest without smacking into a tree. Many insects, too, can dart and hover with incredible speed and precision. The goal of the FLA program is to explore non-traditional perception and autonomy methods that would give small UAVs the capacity to perform in a similar way, including an ability to easily navigate tight spaces at high speed and quickly recognize if it had already been in a room before. If successful, the algorithms developed in the program could enhance unmanned system capabilities by reducing the amount of processing power, communications, and human intervention needed for low-level tasks, such as navigation around obstacles in a cluttered environment. The initial focus is on UAVs, but advances made through the FLA program could potentially be applied to ground, marine and underwater systems, which could be especially useful in GPS-degraded or denied environments. Urban and disaster relief operations would be obvious key beneficiaries, but applications for this technology could extend to a wide variety of missions using small and large unmanned systems linked together with manned platforms as a system of systems, said Stefanie Tompkins, director of DARPAs Defense Sciences Office. By enabling unmanned systems to learn muscle memory and perception for basic tasks like avoiding obstacles, it would relieve overload and stress on human operators so they can focus on supervising the systems and executing the larger mission. Since the focus of the program is improving perception and reducing dependence on external sourcesas opposed to designing new small UAVsDARPA will provide performers selected for the program with the same small UAV testbed as government-furnished equipment.

3	Britain Harasses Human Rights LawyerStephen Lendman The Government Accountability Project (GAP) calls itself the nations leading whistleblower protection and advocacy organization. Jesselyn Radack is a prominent human rights lawyer/whistleblower. Shes GAPs National Security Human Rights director. Shes involved mainly with national security and intelligence community whistleblowers. She focuses on torture, lawless surveillance, secrecy and political discrimination. She represented former senior NSA official Thomas Drake. He won awards for truth-telling and intelligence integrity. On April 15, 2010, he was wrongfully indicted. Obama prosecutors did so under the 1917 Espionage Act. He faced multiple charges. They included willful retention of classified information, obstruction of justice and making false statements. He leaked information on lawless NSA spying. He exposed agency waste, fraud and abuse. He performed a vital public service. He deserved praise, not prosecution. In May 2011, 60 Minutes featured his case. He was lucky. In early June, Obamas Justice Department dropped all charges. They did so in return for his pleading guilty to a misdemeanor too minor to matter. He got one year probation. He agreed to perform community service. Federal Judge Richard D. Bennett presided at his sentencing hearing. He chastised government prosecutors. He called it unconscionable charging Drake with crimes potentially calling for 35 years in prison only to drop them on the eve of trial. He refused to impose a fine. Drakes defense devastated him financially. He lost his six-figure NSA job and pension. He should have included everything ongoing politically. Its unprincipled. Its lawless. Its corrupted. Its too broken to fix. The only solution is turning a page. Its making a clean sweep. Its cleaning house. Its starting over. Nothing else can work. Radack is on the frontline for justice. Shes a Yale Law School grad. Shes a former Justice Department ethics advisor. She practiced constitutional tort law. She gained prominence from John Walker Lindhs case. He was captured in Afghanistan. He was persecuted unjustly. He was outrageously called the American Taliban. He was brutally tortured and abused. He was falsely accused of treason. He was victimized by post-9/11 hysteria. His case was the first prominent terrorism-related one. He was Bush Detainee 001. His trial was a travesty of justice. He was guilty by accusation. In 2002, he got 20 years without the possibility of parole. With good behavior, it could be three less. It depends entirely on the political climate at the time. Americas fast track toward full-blown tyranny isnt encouraging. Lindh and many other political prisoners may stay buried in prison hell interminably. Obama can detain anyone on his say alone. He can hold them indefinitely with or without charges. Innocence is no defense. Police states operate this way. America is by far the worst. Lindh, Bradley (Chelsea) Manning and many others like them bear testimony to US ruthlessness. Its worse than ever now. It shows no signs of improving. Radack chronicled her whistleblowing connection to Lindh in her memoir titled TRAITOR: The Whistleblower and the American Taliban. She exposed Bush administration wrongdoing in his case. He was horrendously treated. He was brutally interrogated without legal counsel. Justice Department officials suppressed important information. Attorney General John Ashcroft made false and misleading public statements. Whistleblowing got Radack targeted. She was harassed. She experienced it at DOJ and subsequent private employment. She was put on a No-Fly Selectee list. She remained on from 2003 through 2009. She endured unjustifiable/harassing security scrutiny. She uses lessons drawn from her ordeal to help others. Lindhs mistreatment was a harbinger for what followed, she explained. It included institutionalizing torture as official policy. Radack was the first post-9/11 whistleblower raising alarms. She exposed outrageous Bush administration wrongdoing. I am the Department of Justice attorney who blew the whistle on the government misconduct in the case of John Walker Lindh, the American Taliban. She said so in Chapter 1 of her book. Shes a leading whistleblower champion. I dont wear the label whistleblower comfortably, she said. Why should I get some special moniker for doing what I would have done anyway, she asked? Others like her call it doing their jobs. Its as simple as knowing right from wrong. Its how civil servants should behave. Just societies demand no less. Whistleblowers should be honored. They deserve praise, not retaliatory targeting. Happy outcomes arent typical, said Radack. (F)or every success story like Daniel Ellsberg, there are a hundred stories of professional martyrdom, she explained. Mine is one of them, she added. She represents Edward Snowden. Shes in the line of fire. She was detained at Londons Heathrow Airport. She was interrogated about trips to Russia, Julian Assange, Bradley (Chelsea) Manning and Snowden. She was asked why she went to Russia twice in three months. She spoke to Firedoglakes Kevin Gosztola. A Border Force agent harassed her. She faced very hostile questioning. She was asked why she was there. To see friends, she said. She was asked to identify them. Theyre members of a group called Sam Adams Associates. Theyre former CIA officers. Theyre intelligence professionals for integrity. Annually they present the Sam Adams Award. Its named after Samuel A. Adams. He was a Vietnam War era CIA whistleblower. Past recipients include Coleen Rowley, Katherine Gun, Sibel Edmonds, Craig Murray, Samuel Provance, Andrew Wilkie, Frank Grevil, Larry Wilkerson, Julian Assange, Thomas Drake, Thomas Fingar, Edward Snowden, Bradley (Chelsea) Manning and Radack. She was asked where she planned to meet friends she came to see. At the Ecuadorian Embassy, she said. Its where Julian Assange remains a political refugee. Ecuador granted him asylum. He faces lawless extradition to America. Obama wants him prosecuted. He wants him imprisoned longterm like Manning. He wants another message sent potential whistleblowers. He wants them warned about being declared enemies of the state. He wants them told theyd receive harsh treatment. Throughout his tenure, he waged war on freedom. Truth-telling and dissent increasingly arent tolerated. Whistleblowers are called threats to national security. Obama targeted more of them than all his predecessors combined. Candidate Obama promised transparency, accountability and change (to) believe in. President Obama delivered business as usual and then some. Police state lawlessness defines his administration. So does waging war on humanity worldwide. Hes gone all-out to defend the indefensible. Americans have never been less safe. Doing the right thing is risky. Anyone trying becomes vulnerable. Radack knows what whistleblowers face. She was stone face cold during Heathrow Airport interrogation. She was asked if she represents Snowden. Yes, Im a human rights lawyer, she said. Her interrogator barked questions. His demeanor was threatening. Radack was told shes on an inhibited persons list. Its Department of Homeland Security (DHS) terminology. A DHS document states: Inhibited status, as defined in this rule, means the status of a passenger or non-traveling individual to whom TSA (Transportation Security Administration) has instructed a covered aircraft operator or a covered airport operator not to issue a boarding pass or to provide access to the sterile area. Radack later responded to her mistreatment, saying (t)he government, whether in the US, UK, or elsewhere does not have the authority to monitor, harass or intimidate lawyers for representing unpopular clients. Its standard American practice. It warns attorneys about steering clear of defendants Washington wants convicted. Otherwise theyre vulnerable. Pastor Martin Niemoller recounted how Nazis came for communists, socialists, trade unionists, and Jews. Each time, he didnt speak out. He wasnt among those targeted. Then they came for me, he said. (T)here was no one left to speak on his behalf. Now theyre coming after lawyers. Theyre doing it in America. Representing unpopular clients leaves them vulnerable. Imagine targeting anyone for doing the right thing. Imagine spying on them lawlessly. Imagine ruthlessly harassing them. Imagine violating attorney/client confidentiality. Imagine rule of law principles no longer applying. Imagine defending the indefensible. Radack quoted former White House speechwriter Jerome Doolittle on Bush administration DOJ officials targeting her, saying: There is something primordial about Team Bushs reaction to dissent, something reptilian. Theyre like the gila monster, its jaws holding their poisonous grip even after its head is severed. Radack added: If the Bush administration was primordial, the Obama administration is downright pathological She felt obligated to tell her story. She felt a moral imperative to do so. She had many pent-up things to say. If white, well-educated, comfortably middle-class US lawyers can lose freedom, what chance have people of color, Muslims, immigrants, or others most disadvantaged. Howard Zinn said you cant be neutral on a moving trainYou cannot be neutral on the crucial issues of our time. Doing so means accepting the unacceptable. Late in life he said: Wherever any kind of injustice has been overturned, its been because people acted as citizens, and not as politicians. They didnt just moan. They worked, they acted, they organized, they rioted if necessary to bring their situation to the attention of people in power. And thats what we have to do today. (T)he emperor has no clothes, said Radack. (E)xpos(ing) the nakedness of government policies should be applauded, not annihilated. On 9/11, her life-altering journey began. The years immediately following what happened were the most difficult of (her) life At the same time, she deepened her commitment for human and civil rights. She promised to use her voice to try to prevent anyone with something important to say from being silenced. Sunshine is the best disinfectant. Let it shine! Let it shine! Let it radiate where most needed.

2	Londons New Muslim Mayor Threatens Trump, Let Muslims Or They Will... According to recent reports, the new Muslim mayor of London has just issued a warning to Donald Trump: either he moderates his stance on Muslims, or they will launch more attacks on America. Trump recently praised Sadiq Khan for winning Londons mayoral raceclaiming that he would be willing to create an exception in his policy restricting Muslim entry into the United States for Khan. Khan, on the other hand, did not embrace Trumps invitationand even denounced his views on Islam as ignorant. Khan also argued that Trumps policies would increase the terrorist threat in both the U.S. and U.K. Donald Trumps ignorant view of Islam could make both of our countries less safeit risks alienating mainstream Muslims around the world and plays into the hands of extremists, he commented. Donald Trump and those around him think that Western liberal values are incompatible with mainstream IslamLondon has proved him wrong. At the same time that Khan was touting the liberal values of British Muslims, a poll discovered that two-thirds of the population would not tell the government if a friend or family member became involved with extremists. And more than 20 percent supported establishing Shariah law in the U.K. Are we supposed to believe jihadis wont attack us once we let them in? Pamela Geller commented. I hope Trump stands his ground and puts this savage in his place. What do you think? Do you agree with Geller? 
1	Greatly concerned with America's ever-worsening landfill problem, a group of San Francisco-based heroin addicts have established EcOD, an environmentally friendly needle sharing program. 'So many of us are using needles once and then throwing them out,' said Dave Pierce, strung-out junkie and program co-chair. 'That's just wasteful. If you come across an old needle lying around, by all means, use it. And if you don't have one, borrow from a friend.' Pierce also recommended a soapy washcloth for cleaning dirty syringes. 
2	14 Year Old Muslim Boy Arrested For Bringing Bomb To School The media has erupted with the story of the Texas high school freshman that was arrested after his teachers said that a homemade clock he brought to school looked like a bomb. Of course, the media is saying that 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed was discriminated against, though authorities are considering the case closed. Theres no evidence to support the perception he intended to create alarm, Irving police Chief Larry Boyd told reporters. Following the event, social media broke up in support for Ahmed, using the hashtag #IStandWithAhmed. The story being told throughout the web was one of Islamaphobia. Even Obama chimed in, tweeting: Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. Its what makes America great. Authorities, of course, maintain that their reaction to the incident would have been the same regardless of the race of the student at hand. Thats a very suspicious device, Boyd continued. We live in an age where you cant take things like that to a school. Mohamed built the clock using a pencil case, a circuit board, and a power supply wired to a digital display. He brought the device to school to show his engineering teacher at the beginning of the week. He was like, Thats really nice, Mohamed told the paper. I would advise you not to show any other teachers. Later in the day, Mohameds English teacher reacted to the device when it started beeping the middle of a lesson. When he showed his teacher the rigged device, she said it looked like a bomb. Mohamed was quickly pulled out of class and questioned by the school principal and six police officers. The concern was, what was this thing built for? police spokesman James McLellan told reporters. Do we take him into Custody? Throughout interrogations, Mohamed maintained that the device was simply for telling time. Obama has called the incident a teachable moment. What do you think? 
2	Obama Is History, We Have Trump Now! Israel Launches Massive Attack On Trump President Barack Obama outraged the nation when he made an extremely anti-Israel deal with the United Nations. Secretary of State John Kerry escalated matters when he claimed that Israel cant be Jewish and Democratic. Now, Israels Culture and Sports Minister, Miri Regev, is hitting back hard. Regev explained that Obama has never truly been supportive of Israeland neither has the UN. When she was asked about Obama, she responded, Who is Obama? Obama is history. We have Trump. She went on to highlight the importance of the land of Israel to the Jewish people. No organization in the world can point to a failing in the connection between the land and the Jewish people, Regev commented. Fifty years ago, we turned hope into reality: Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, was once again united, and we will never agree to its being divided a second time. Several weeks ago, UNESCO declared that there is no such link, Regev continued. The ridiculous vote in Paris cannot cancel thousands of years of history. Today, we respond to this distortion of history and say in a loud and clear voice: Jews lived in Jerusalem and will continue to live in Jerusalem. Jews built Jerusalem and will continue to build Jerusalem. Thus it was 2,000 years ago, thus it is today and thus it will remain forever. What do you think? Did Obama make a big mistake in refusing to defend Israel? 
2	Several Top ISIS Commanders Killed In This Perfectly Executed Raid The news has been full of recent stories of countries attempting to take out ISIS. France, Russia, China, and America have all taken part in this. A completely unexpected group has just come forward with the most recent attack against ISIS. Al-Qaeda just carried out a suicide bombing against some of ISIS top commanders. Dead ISIS and dead Al-Qaeda? This is something we can get behind. There is nothing better than pitting your enemies against each other. If ISIS and Al-Qaeda banned together in their mission of terror, this could pose a problem. However, this is absolutely not the case. This is good news. Are you glad that these terrorists have decided to start killing each other? 
1	Despite 2011's seniors being the most awesome class ever to pass through the halls of Chester County High, staff and students told reporters Friday the school has somehow managed to carry on without them. 'I never thought we'd recover from the loss of the greatest class of all time, but by some miracle, we're still here,' said Principal Troy Kilzer, citing the class of 2011's spirit and Christine Kellys amazing homecoming decorations as just a few of the reasons the 98-year-old Chester High should have, by all rules of logic, ceased to exist following the graduating seniors' departure. 'The rock they painted 'Class of 2011' on is still there on the hill overlooking the school, reminding us every day of their devastatingly clever senior prank, when they all showed up one morning wearing their clothes backwards. The doors should have closed forever based on that alone, but somehow we're still getting byjust barely, but we're getting by.' According to current senior class sources, the loss of the unbelievably awesome class of 2012 will definitely bring Chester County High School to an end. 
1	After the seventh-inning stretch of Tuesday night's MLB All-Star game, Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz spoke to several members of the Kauffman Stadium grounds crew requesting they turn off all the lights, as the evening had grown dark enough for both teams to see all the stars they were brought there to see. 'All these bright lights scare the stars away, but this is the game where we're supposed to see them all, so we need to turn off the lights to help them come out,' said Ortiz, adding that he hoped the stars in Kansas City would be as good as the ones he saw in Arizona last year. 'I keep getting invited back because I know all the shapes the stars make, like the big baseball bat and the W and the triangle and the one that looks like home plate if it was kind of shorter in one part.' After several crew members, umpires, and teammates informed Ortiz that the lights would in fact not be turned off, the Boston slugger refused to move from the AL bench or speak to anybody about the game unless they called it the 'No-Star Game.'

1	Following a recent statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics touting the benefits of circumcision, the nations creepy middle school gym teachers have also announced their support for the procedure, declaring it the more hygienic and aesthetically preferable alternative. We just want to see healthy, happy boys out there, unencumbered by unsightly folds of loose foreskin, creepy middle school gym teacher spokesman Mr. Griffon said at a press conference Wednesday, stressing that his group did not dislike uncircumcised penises per se, but simply found them less than ideal. No boy should have to go through life with a disease-ridden flap of skin obscuring the elegant curve of his glans. The group also decried the growing childhood obesity epidemic, due to its reported deleterious effects on student health and the firmness of pubescent breasts. 
3	Facebook Banking on a Cashless SocietyBrandon Turbeville Essentially, the new application which is currently in beta phase with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, allows for interactions regarding banking and financial services over alleged secure and private connections. A similar, albeit attenuated program, is already in existence in India which was created by ICICI Bank in conjunction with Facebook that allows users, through a secure SSL connection, to view account details and mini statements as well as apply for debit cards and request chequebooks. See the ICICI Bank Facebook App Demo Video here. Indeed, KeyPoint Credit Union also has its own Facebook app that allows for many of the same features including the users ability to access all of their KeyPoint accounts via the app. Facebook is obviously known for many things but none of them are its respect for privacy. In fact, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been very open about his disdain for even the concept of privacy, stating openly that he simply doesnt believe in it. With this in mind and, given the track record as well as the open declarations of disregard for privacy by Facebook and its directors, would anyone in their right minds trust their online banking and financial information to the social networking giant? Unfortunately, the answer is likely to be a resounding Yes. Regardless of the stampede toward yet another privacy-destroying program, Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks accurately summed up some of the concerns regarding online banking privacy and the new Facebook app during a recent TYT broadcast. She said; And Ill tell you what my conspiracy theory is. Facebook makes money by selling ads. And the way that they sell ads is by telling the advertisers what their users are spending their money on. If they have the ability to see what youre spending your money on via BillPay, on their website, then theyre going to sell that information to a third party. And then theyre going to be like What? What privacy? What are you talking about? Kasparian should give herself more credit. Her deductions are merely logic based on previous experiences and the historical behavior of Facebook not conspiracy theories. In keeping with the concerns regarding privacy, however, it is clear that these ridiculous apps will no doubt be able to be accessed via smartphones in addition to personal computers and will therefore be subject to even more hacking possibilities. Indeed, the increasing number of apps and remote-smartphone related programs dealing with personal financial, banking, and payment information will undoubtedly produce an increase in the number of hacking and identity theft incidents. Thus, the public that was so easily enticed to use these programs under the guise of convenience will be calling for an increased level of security to reduce the ability of hackers to access the data they freely offered online once their poorly thought-out decisions come back to bite them. Enter biometrics the only sure way to protect against theft and hacking. Unfortunately, however, such concerns as those expressed by Kasparian are almost guaranteed to go unheeded. If they are even addressed by Facebook or the respective participating banking institutions, it will only be discussed as a public relations move designed to placate those on the fence and the holdouts who will themselves be caught up in the dragnet in a matter of just a few years. In the end, the new Facebook banking app is just one more step toward the ultimate goal of the Cashless Society and the requirement that even the most personal individual information such as iris scans, fingerprints, vein scans, facial photographs, and even DNA swabs be surrendered for the purpose of data security. As I have stated on many occasions, these types of programs are always introduced under the guise of convenience. Then, as more and more people take the bait, the older methods of payment are seen as cumbersome and, eventually, are phased out completely. Mandates then replace what was once a personal choice. Yet, what is so ironic about the Facebook banking app is that, while the program is touted as providing so much more convenience, even when putting privacy and Cashless Society issues aside and, with the program running at its optimum, the app really isnt that much more convenient. As one commenter on the TYT video quoted above wrote, You can already do online banking at the same time as Facebook. Its called opening a second tab you morons.

3	Footage Of Boy In Aleppo Is Opportunistic, Vile Propaganda From Western MediaBy Brandon Turbeville The picture of a little boy, seemingly injured in some type of bombing incident, sitting alone in an orange chair in the back of an ambulance, blood stains on his face and covered in dust from cracked concrete also comes in video form, footage that lasts for about two minutes, showing the boy being carried to a well-equipped ambulance (with English writing on some of the equipment). The boys story is also accompanied by heart wrenching stories from activists in east Aleppo alleging the crimes of the Syrian government and the horrific situation in the area. The story as presented in the Western press goes as follows: The video shows a child after he was pulled from rubble in Aleppo, a Syrian city that has been devastated by constant bombardment. A man carried the boy away from the rubble after a suspected Russian or Syrian regime airstrike in the neighborhood of rebel-held Qaterji. He placed him in an orange seat, and the boy brushed his eye and face after the man walked away. Looking dazed, he then wiped the blood and debris on the seat. After the airstrike, which reportedly shook the northern Syrian city Wednesday night during a call to prayer, the boy was rescued from the rubble that was once his home. We were passing them from one balcony to the other, Raslan said, adding: We sent the younger children immediately to the ambulance, but the 11-year-old girl waited for her mother to be rescued. Her ankle was pinned beneath the rubble. Omran was taken to a hospital for a wound on his head. . . . . . This picture of a wounded Syrian boy captures just a fragment of the horrors of Aleppo, read a Telegraph headline about the picture. The International Business Times said: Heartbreaking video of little boy dragged from Aleppo rubble shows Syrian childrens suffering. . . . . . The haunting image was also shared by David Miliband, former British foreign secretary and now president and chief executive of the International Rescue Committee. At least 400,000 people have died and millions have been displaced as the Syrian conflict has stretched on for years. It is rather clear that the child is being used as a stage prop. After being passed to the medical attendants, little Omran is placed in an orange chair facing the camera and immediately left alone. He is not treated, no one else is being lifted into the ambulance, and no one is even in the vehicle with him. Instead, he is left to face the activists outside the vehicle and their cameras for what seems like too long a time to be anything other than a photo op for the activists videotaping him. While some more discerning alternative media outlets are questioning the credibility of the footage suggesting that the entire affair was simply staged by activists (meaning terrorists and terrorist supporters like the White Helmets) for propaganda purposes one need not go so far in order to destroy the narrative being pushed by Western outlets. It is, of course, quite possible that the footage was simply created from beginning to end by propagandists but there is also no shortage of injured and dying children in Syria. Thus, the possibility that this footage is completely real and merely seized upon by the propagandists is incredibly real as well. It is even possible that the child was injured as a result of errant bombs dropped by Syrian or Russian planes. Generally, however, when children are killed or injured by American bombs or by bearded freaks receiving a paycheck from the U.S. government, those children are simply labeled collateral damage or unfortunate realities of war. Even if the bombing targets were intentionally civilian areas, the results are excused. When children are unintentionally injured by a Syrian or Russian plane despite have taken all the appropriate measures to avoid these types of incidents the Western press refers to the results as crimes against humanity, intentional targeting of civilians, and Assad killing his own people. It should also be noted that, while all of the above may be the source of the childs injuries, it is just as likely that his injuries came as a result of the men seen handling him. After all, Americas rebels have long killed children in the most grotesque manner, even beheading a young boy on camera in recent weeks. But regardless of the nature of the childs injuries, the photo and the footage is clearly a propaganda stunt. At best, it was seized by propagandists in the West and their foot soldiers in rebel held areas of Syria, i.e. terrorist support operations such as the White Helmets). One need only examine the photographer and this push by mainstream outlets to see that little Omran is being used as the latest bit of war porn propaganda, designed to create sympathy and moral outrage in an audience devoid of both until they are told to have one or the other by mass media outlets. Raslan describes himself to be a Syrian media activist, which, in and of itself, is a red flag to anyone who has studied the Syrian crisis. In the world of Western media, anyone defining themselves as an activist in Syria should immediately be translated to mean terrorist. Calling terrorists activists has been an important mode of operation by the Western media since day one in Syria since activists can be quoted while actual terrorists are not seen as credible enough in the minds of the general public. In other words, activist is merely a moniker assumed by terrorists when propaganda outfits need on the ground confirmation of what they are already peddling. Raslan, the Syrian media activist certainly fits the bill. Despite being hailed a true journalist or selfless activist, Raslans terror-supporting history is easily revealed via social media. Raslan has repeatedly made public statements praising terrorists and suicide bombers. In a post on Raslans Facebook page (translated by The Canary) reads: With the suicide fighters, from the land of battles and butchery, from Aleppo of the martyrs, we bring you tidings of impending joy, with Gods permission Another post reads: Thousands of suicide fighters and tens of booby-traps are being prepared for the great battle in Aleppo, the first battle where I see men weeping because they cant participate on account of the number of attackers. Raslans Twitter page is full of pictures and footage of him standing next to captured Syrian tanks, marching with terrorists flying the French mandate flag (white, black, and green), taking selfies with terrorists, and celebrating terrorist victories. His Twitter page alone carries a cover photo that says Stop Russia. Why would anyone want to stop Russia from bombing terrorists unless they themselves were terrorists? This is a question more and more Americans should be asking themselves. Videos on Raslans social media also show celebrations with other terrorists, praising suicide bombers on camera. As Miri Wood writes in her article, Oscar Nominations For War Porn With Child Has New Nomination, That one woman with a Twitter account can immediately expose this heinous relationship, while paid msm reporters cheer this scum, if further indictment of the criminal intentions of western media against the Syrian Arab Republic. Wood and Afraa Dagher continue by writing, True, Gray Boy might not be the best competition for Aylan, but how many drowned babies bodies that have been desecrated by repositioning for maximum emotional impact are we to expect? Besides, Aylans defiled corpse was needed to propagate the myth of the external Syrian refugee part of the plan to strategically depopulate the country (which is why msm neglected to mention Aylans father was the human trafficking boat captain) while Gray Boy is to be used for an increased bombing campaign against Syria, by the same NATO forces which have funded terrorism in the SAR, and which obliterated Libya in 2011. As Mnar A. Muhawesh of MintPress News stated, Since when does the corporate or mainstream media care about the people of Syria let alone the children of Syria? The answer is never. Watching CNN anchors cry crocodile tears over the Aleppo boy lifted from rubble serves one purpose only: to play with our emotions to justify more US intervention. MEDIA and their pundits are now calling for the US to help these people, as if our actions havent done enough damage. And by help, they mean bomb. But, I have been poking around to find the original source of this video of the heart-wrenching Syrian boy. It brought me to tears and Im seeing everyone post about it. CNN cited the original source as coming from the Aleppo Media Center. The website is in Arabic but I read it, and its a pro rebel website referring to Al-qaeda rebels that behead civilians as revolutionaries. I doubt many people looked up the original source, but I did and it wasnt hard to find. What the media is not telling us is that many parts of Aleppo is currently occupied by Al-qaeda rebels including al-Nusra Front and Noor alzinki including the area this boy is from. . . . . . Consider this: CNN and other media and NGOs that are funded by NATO countys like the US and the UK have embedded reporters, rescue workers and doctors in al-Qaeda held areas like we see with the White Helmets. These are the sources the media is using for interviews and sources for information to control the narrative. But the Assad government is bombing the Al-qaeda held areas. Three years ago the media referred to these areas as al-qaeda held. Today, theyre referring to these same terrorists as opposition . These groups are starving the areas they occupy and hog up all aid sent into the areas set to them for civilians. This gives these institutions an opportunity to show the West how the Assad government and the Syrian army are airstriking opposition held areas without the context that these are al- qaeda held or that many times the Al-qaeda rebels are starving the population. Doesnt the US want to get rid of Al-qaeda and ISIS? Youd think that but instead, they are defending them to the world and legitimizing them. These sources are simply controlling the narrative. Indeed, the award-winning performance of CNN news anchor Kate Bolduan crying, hyperventilating, and indignantly insinuating that someone should do something to stop these airstrikes against terrorist forces has caught the attention of many people who couldnt find Syria on a map before or after her report. But we havent see Bolduan crying for any other Syrian children over the course of the last five years. Did she cry over the young boy beheaded by Americas moderate rebels? Did she cry at any other childs death at the hands of the rebels? There is no shortage of dead children in Syria and certainly no shortage of them killed in the most horrific and sadistic ways by the activists and rebels her employer has been pimping to the American people since day one. So why the tears for this child? Bolduans carefully scripted performance and excellent follow-through should earn her a serious acting job one day. But we would kindly ask she leave journalism to someone else. Little Omran is unfortunately the rehash of baby Aylan, a child for whom Western audiences wept and wailed for days, becoming more and more willing to allow the West to increase its intervention in Syria and allow hordes of non-Syrian immigrants into their country but who, only a year later, would scarcely warrant a head scratch at the familiarity of the name. But it would be virtually impossible to ask any American to recount the name of the little girl killed by Obamas rebels in Lattakia, car bombed to death by moderates and democracy-loving Sharia fanatics, around the same time as baby Aylan. Why? Because not one mainstream media outlet reported her death. Indeed, some children are more equal than others and children killed by Americas terrorists arent worthy of even a mention by the mainstream press. Forgive me if I am unconvinced and unmoved by CNNs crying anchors or Americas temporary fickle and hypocritical moral outrage.

Even up here in Canada the MSMs vacuous Talking Heads is/are pointing their fingers at Assad the Syrian army as the perpetrators of these horrendously despicable acts of vile cruelty of the US/neocons intentionally attacking bombing hospitals with innocent children paying the priceit makes me almost nauseous as these repeaters regurgitate the daily propaganda memes from the 6 corporation monopoly of the Khazarian MSM as if what they are saying is chizeled onto stone tablets come down from the mountain where the all seeing eye lives in the rarefied air of the pyramid cap 0.01% parasites. The propaganda is increasingly compartmentalized, two or three versions for lame stream media, foreign versions, several alt media versions.and yet eyes are kept off the parasites at the top of the pyramid in every nation engrossed with the reporting of the mirage of blocs of shifting power. Meanwhile, Russia and China are engaged in a brutal crackdown of even the mildest dissent. Russia sentencing scores of people who simply shared or liked political articles and cartoons to Siberia and labor camps (no exaggeration) and prosecuting Jehovah Witnesses for practicing an unauthorized religion using extremist lawsforeboding the recent passing of an even more restrictive free speech Yarovaya law that goes into effect in 2018. China is incarcerating human rights lawyers and labor advocates with Chinese scholars saying this extreme draconian shift is as bad or worse than the Mao era! What gives? The Gulf states are going techno Orwellian big time, Iran too. The big Global Jack Boot is coming down hard and fast. Scary times and we in the west are distracted with the election Circus routine. the bloodline parasites truly are entrenched in the old black nobility 13 family genetic tentacles ..especially throughout many European countries with monarchies are still intact altho playing a so-called Figure Head role which is the pap they feed the unwittingone has to remember that these Globalists are still quite capable of stone cold psychopathic to the extreme acts of despicable murder rape killing as many, or quadruple the number of approx 250,000,000 people deliberately murdered from wars started by these gangster banksters to begin with(demo/genocide -as a policy) in the 20th century alone. I always value your gift with words, eddysachs. I couldnt agree more and your previous posts prodded me to do some extra digging around to get a better feel for these dynasties and their long tentaclese.g. Knights of Malta and Blackwater on and on it goes, rambling long catacombs. Im great at predicting the psychopathic mindset and am strongly convinced a major war scenario is not in the cards because even if they became desperate owing to a miraculous wider awakening, they still have far more precise tools to achieve their ends than the blunt force of mass scale war that served them well in the past when technology was not their backbone of control. Soft kill, economic totalitarianism, and the new precision genetic engineering technology appears to be their focus. But very true, they dont think at all like the rest of us. Formally educated a large part of my life in neurosci, Ive gotten good at reading their minds and reinforce my hunches with lots of media neurolinguistic analyses. Observing the actions and words of the big players, I surmised very early on in the Syria dust up it had to be another Operation Cyclone 2.0. I had their number on that one! Cheers! blue Cheers Takes one to know one -(lol)!.Im only here to join in the dialogue simply educate people as much as i canI have NO ego- dog in this fightits left at the door when I come in herefunny thing is: a man was arrested by the Thought Police for shooting killing his own ego when asked why he did ithe simply said-It just woudnt shut up!..hahahahaha! Yep, its not about upvotes or points, rather speaking truth to power in a world gone mad and a tightly closing Matrix prison for the mind. Interesting how the elites have honed their understanding of the ego since 9/11 to perfect group think and political correctness to infect the anti-statists (by whatever name) into their own sects of group think! thank you Brandon, you are my go to source This scenes are somehow setted up, but Mahmoud Raslan is to see in the video, so he cant be the cameraman of this one. I believe he made and published a different photo. Wasnt the camereman some one called Mustafa al-Sarout ? Collateral damage is what war leaves behind and the US very unfortunately is the World winner in creating it. Do you really think any of the human monsters Americans constantly choose as their leaders in Washington are caring even one iota for this childs circumstance? Come on now, tell the truth! He is less than an insect to them. None of this horror is Assads fault. Dont forget that his whole formal training and profession was dealing with preventing pain and suffering. He was a dentist. He also is the person who leads a nation of different and fractious Muslim sects who hate each other and he must deal with that on a daily basis to prevent the wholesale slaughter, that the US has visited upon his nation anyway. American support for terrorism in Syria is disgusting, demented, hypocritical and beyond foolish. You know that as well as I do. I believe the UN and Western nations must censure American support for terrorists and when Obama stands up to mouth typically hypocritical lies about how the US is fighting terrorists, an international leader of stature should counter with the truth full blast. The apex elites believe the end justifies the means. Thats why they cared not when millions needlessly died in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and other engineered wars that conscripted westerners and terrorized Europe. It was in the best interest of the USSR to use its veto power to stop the war in Korea, the first test case of a UN police action and a precedent of forcing the American public into wars not authorized by Congress, yet Russia/USSR opted to miss the vote! Sutton proved the apex elite were funding and giving technology to the USSR during the Cold War, including weapons and supplies used to kill US/western soldiers in Korea and Vietnam. The UN is a tool of these same elites, created by the Rockefellers and Rothschilds. Know your enemies well. Follow the money to person who manages the Assad clan fortune, Bashars Billionaire cousin Rami Makhlouf who controls 60% of the Syrian economy (Ramis brother controls Syrias version of the CIA). Follow the money to Dubai, shady offshore accounts, and co-investments with Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, AIG, etc. Note Syrias formal acceptance of Agenda 21 and Makhloufs companies building out the related infrastructure for well over a decade. A close Syrian connection to the Assad family, multi-billionaire Mohammed Kyali, is very tight with Spanish King Juan Carlos and the Saudi royals, routinely socializing with Europes royalty. There is a lot of true dissent in Syria, most of it anger over economic issues. Youre right, though, thats for the Syrians to sort out. Whats going on in Syria is not regime change, its creating a series of smokescreens for something very BIG. good digGr8 perspective cheers thanks! Bashar Assad the same president that banned GMOs in Syria is backed by the establishment who is very much pro GMO? How much they paying you? Also Syrias bank is not owned by the Rothschilds so why would they support Assad? Even Gaddafi was a mason but he stood up to them Do you know about the new CRISPR/Cas precision GE technology and how China and Russia (said to have banned GMOs) are aggressively diving in to the research with China already creating bizarre GE organisms? China bid on Syngenta, Monsantos partner and evil twin. But not Syria and wheres the sources on that also Syria is one of the few countries that dont have a Rothschild owned central bank and thats what they care about the most I didnt bring up GMOs, you did, so why are you asking me for sources on Syrias stance on GMOs? The subtle point I was trying to make is the GE ball is in play, any national stance on the old technology is increasingly irrelevant and thus the examples of China and Russia morphing on their positions were given. BIS = Rothschild, check it out. Also look into UN Agendas 21 and 2030, that IS the NWO endgame and youll see the supposed adversaries are already implementing the techno control grid, China is hard core, Russia and Iran right behind. it has to do with it Syrias central bank is tied to the big daddy of international banks, the head of the beast, Bank of International Settlements (BIS). It looks like Syria does not have any outstanding loans with the IMF, although, there is a long history of the IMF working with Syria to implement its Structural Adjustments. No more ad hominems, please. If my statements were in error, I welcome the feedback and correction but thats not your aim. yea when they put his dad in power like they did Saddam Hussein well now he is is expendable how do you explain the 2013 false flag that they used to try to get us into war and just because a country borrows from the BIS doesnt mean they are owned by rothschild do you borrow from banks? exactly. Its for daily expenses not to do there bidding and you havent explained why the elites would back someone who banned gmos Really you gunna flag me like that lmao govt troll I knew it I didnt flag you. Who is wearing tin foil? LOL Actually Im wearing cotton typical govt troll using the conspiracy theorist slur No more ad hominems, please. The video may be propaganda, but the suffering of the boy pulled from the rubble is real. He exemplifies the victims that Donald Trump proposes to bar from the United States just because they are Muslims. Whether they are victims of Assad or of his opponents, they deserve to be considered case by case, and not rejected and despised as a group. A leader needs compassion. Strength and safety come from WISE leadership, not from bravado. Trump fails miserably on both counts. Well said. Doesnt Trump make a case by case argument based on compatible ideology with western values? He gave a great speech touching on compassion a few days ago. Who knows how sincere but it was like nothing youll ever hear from the establishment pols. Donald Trump? Compassionate? Wtf are you smoking? Did you read the transcript? Yep, interesting turn of events. Is this him, his new campaign manager, or another round of Kabuki theater? Another round for the reality TV star this is just another show for him also breitbart is a right wing Zionist shill site Never implied I was a Kool-Aid drinker. Im a Libertarian / Minarchist minded girl. I try not to drink ANY Kool-Aid. you didnt have to TROLLBOT ALERT! says the trollbot Compassionate. It beats the lies YOU spew. Trump makes the case that only people who love American can understand. It IS because they are muslims that they SHOULD be banned from the United States. Bleeding hearts = bleeding brains. They should be taken in by other muslims in muslim countries. TRUMP WINS THIS ONE! AOL News, one of the absolute worst MSMs, continues to post sympathy articles that defy the truth. ALL OF THIS WORLDS PROBLEMS ARE DUE TO PEOPLE LYING ! And that causes even truth seekers to get confused in their own seeking thus many, if not most, truths get dismissed due to lack of trust generated by the liars. IMnsHO and E. The unfortunate little boy is just one of millions of victims of U.S. regime change mania. They can try to blame the Syrians or the Russians, but if the U.S. didnt want regime change, none of this would be happening.

3	Epic Troll: 4Chan Users Claim CIA And Media Fell For Trump Golden Shower Fake NewsBy Claire Bernish A dossier, compiled by a person who has claimed to be a former British intelligence official, alleges Russia has compromising information on Trump. The allegations are unverified, and the report contains errors, the collaborative BuzzFeed article asserts. Duly noting the dubious quality of the information presented, BuzzFeed chose to publish the threadbare dossier sans any evidence of its legitimacy and the rush to perhaps damn Trump before the upcoming inauguration has tentatively been discredited by one of the most unlikely sources: 4Chan. First, ZeroHedge noted of the contents of the original dossier, For those pressed for time, here is the best as in most laughable part, discussing Trumps personal obsessions and sexual perversions, in which we learn that when staying at the Ritz Carlton Moscow hotel, in order to defile a bed in which Obama had stayed in previously, he employed a number of prostitutes to perform golden showers show in front of him. Good stuff. Indeed, while that description, alone, appeared so specious as to disqualify the contents, the assessment nonetheless gained approval from BuzzFeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith who defended the choice to publish prior to investigation in a memo to staff, subsequently posting to Twitter, Our presumption is to be transparent in our journalism and to share what we have with our readers. We have always erred on the side of publishing. In this case, the document was in wide circulation in the highest levels of American government and media. Ben Smith (@BuzzFeedBen) January 11, 2017 BuzzFeed further notes, The document was prepared for political opponents of Trump by a person who is understood to be a former British intelligence agent. It is not just unconfirmed: It includes some clear errors. The report misspells the name of one company, Alpha Group, throughout. It is Alfa Group. The report says the settlement of Barvikha, outside Moscow, is reserved for the residences of the top leadership and their close associates. It is not reserved for anyone, and it is also populated by the very wealthy. Did Smith somehow felt the juiciness of the contents outweighed the need for even the thinnest of vetting procedures? If so, a comparison to and criticism of WikiLeaks must be intoned. Founder Julian Assange and WikiLeaks have an unassailable ten-year record of publishing authentic documents none have ever been proven fabricated in a court of law, by information technology experts, or anyone else. Indeed, the publishing outlet although known for printing all information as long as lives are not in imminent danger has endured harsh criticism for blanket transparency. But BuzzFeed is not WikiLeaks and its rush to publish a story fitting a designated narrative appears to be the biggest Fake News fiasco yet as Zero Hedge now reports, In a story that is getting more surreal by the minute, a post on 4Chan now claims that the infamous golden showers scene in the unverified 35-page dossier, allegedly compiled by a British intelligence officer, was a hoax and fabricated by a member of the chatboard as fanfiction, then sent to Rick Wilson, who proceeded to send it to the CIA, which then put it in their official classified intelligence report on the election. In short, 4Chan the longstanding Internet troll board appears to have epically trolled the CIA and hapless corporate media parroting BuzzFeed. In a post, 4Chan explained how the allegedly events played out: /pol/acks mailed fanfiction to anti-trump pundit Rick Wilson about trump making people piss on a bed obama slept in he thought it was real and gave it to the CIA the central intelligence agency of the united states of america put this in their official classified intelligence report on russian involvement in the election donald trump and obama have both read this pol/acks fanfiction the cia has concluded that the russian plans to blackmail trump with this story we made up just let that sink in what we have become. NeverTrump champion and veteran GOP consultant Rick Wilson took to Twitter in what now appears to be a rather awkwardly pompous rant, stating: WikiLeaks takes on a whole meaning tonight, doesnt it? And, referring to the Russian Intelligence Community: All kidding and puns aside, we fought so hard because we knew this was who Trump wasand what the RUS IC had on him. Wilson, Smith, and, particularly, the CIA could soon have plates overflowing with crow, if these links to an Internet prank gone hilariously awry prove true. And, quite unlike BuzzFeed, if these images do, indeed, constitute proof of what theyre saying then this could be the most successful trolling mission ever undertaken. A Twitter account under the name @mrbones_returns posted images of the supposed 4Chan plot, with the caption, 4chan trolled Rick Wilson with the Trump piss story back in November 2016. Media or CIA added Russian spies themselves. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. Mr Bones (@mrbones_returns) January 11, 2017 Best of 4chan (@4chansbest) January 11, 2017 Trumps transition team did not comment for the BuzzFeed piece, but the president-elects attorney told Mic, Its so ridiculous on so many levels. Clearly, the person who created this did so from their imagination or did so hoping that the liberal media would run with this fake story for whatever rationale they might have. Trump, himself who prefers to deliver responses and address the press via the social media platform tweeted of allegations: FAKE NEWS TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT! Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 11, 2017 BuzzFeed claimed the documents it loosely attributed to the unnamed British Intelligence agent had been passed around for months among journalists, lawmakers, and intelligence officials who have seen them although the outlet did not provide an explanation for why none of the other parties chose to make them public. Considering the dossier bears no technical, departmental, or government markings and could have been typed and printed by anyone in the form its been presented to imagine it holding so much weight in the media, political, and intelligence communities is a fair indicator of the tabloid reality now upon us. Tidbits of information fitting certain narratives are plastered online before any investigative diligence is performed, leaving those who stand accused and the publishers, themselves left to deal with the fallout. As left-leaning journalist and Mother Jones Washington Bureau chief David Corn asserted in a tweet, Even Donald Trump deserves journalistic fairness. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. The golden showers accusation also puts in a new light the regular flow of intelligence statement in the above report! FOX has been spewing fake news for decades! Golden Shower nothing would surprise with anything dealing with Tramp, sorry Trump. This man has benn involved in so much drenn it is hard to keep them apart. I wonder if this was done so that next time some legitimate info on this fraudsters perversions comes to light, it will be immediately discredited by people saying Oh yeah, remember that golden showers report? 
2	90 Year Old Veteran May Face Charges After Killing Thug That Tries To Rob Him According to a recent report from WZ, 89-year-old Arthur Lewis was about to be robbed in his Florida jewelry store at gunpoint. Immediately, the World War II veteran wrestled the man for his weapon, and claimed it as his own. The man turned out to be career criminal Lennard Patrick Jervis, a 43-year-old career criminal who has been arrested over 20 times in Florida since 1989 the report states. According to reports, Lewis shot another robber in 2010, but this time he actually fought the criminal first and was nearly hit by a bullet, before shooting and wounding Jervis. Jervis was later apprehended. This is just another example of a veteran who is not afraid to take action into his own hands. 
2	Recount Just Added Some People To Hillarys Number [VIDEO] Well, we cant say were surprised about this. According to recent reports, Hillary Clintons campaign may have committed voter fraud in Polk County. The error apparently happened during a hand-count of everyone, based on what side of the room theyre sitting on. When the group did a count for the second time, the numbers were off. During the first vote, 215 people were for Sanders, 210 were for Clinton, 26 were for OMalley, and 8 were still undecided. That adds up to a total of 459 votes. In the second vote, however, 232 voters were for Clinton, and 224 were for Sanders. Thats 456 votes. Somehow, between the two counts, 14 people decided to vote for Clinton and three people disappeared entirely. It would appear that Hillarys team decided to move forward with those numbers, without doing an accurate recount. What do you think? Does Hillary and her group of criminals need to be kept far away from the White House? 
1	April Niles, a second-grade teacher at Benjamin Franklin Elementary School, is constantly overhyping the third grade, warning her students that 'expectations will be very different next year.' The third-grade-fixated Niles works with a pair of her second-graders. 'If you think [third-grade teacher] Mrs. [Bobbie] Shuler is going to stand for this kind of nonsense, you're wrong as can be,' Niles said. 'If she catches you kicking a desk or running in the hall, you get one warning, and then it's off to the principal. So you'd better clean up your act, because you're in for a rude awakening when you get to third grade.' Niles, 43, frequently invokes the mysterious, unknown realm of the third grade as a means of maintaining order in her classroom. She has used the tactic to get her students to stand in a straight line, remain silent during fire drills, and pay close attention to math lessons. 'You'd all better get your subtraction down, because next year you're going to need it for long division,' said Niles, seeking to quell student chatter during a math lesson. 'You're going to be dividing single-digit numbers into three-digit numbers, which requires subtraction, and I know for a fact that Mrs. Shuler is not going to wait for you to catch up on things you should've learned this year.' Niles is also quick to point out the many exciting perks that await the class. 'Next year, you're going to get to hold your own lunch tickets, just like in the upper grades,' Niles told her students during a recent lunch period. 'Won't that be exciting?' While Niles occasionally uses the third grade as an intimidation tactic, she also uses it as a reward. 'I really envy you,' said Niles after her entire class passed a test on Pennsylvania history. 'When you get to third grade, you'll get to go to see these places we're learning about. You'll get to go to Philadelphia to see the Liberty Bell, and you'll get to learn more about our state's history. Maybe you'll even go to Harrisburg. I know last year's third-graders did.' Even the class pet, a hermit crab named Crabby, has given Niles occasion to describe what lies ahead for her students. 'I know how much you love Crabby,' Niles said. 'Well, you're all going to love next year, because Mrs. Shuler's class has a gerbil. And how well you care for Crabby this year can make all the difference. If you do really well, you can be the one to take care of the gerbil.' Though most faculty members are indifferent toward Niles' constant talk of the third grade, one teacher is concerned. 'I certainly hope those kids don't come into my class with unreasonable expectations,' Shuler said. 'I don't want the third grade to become a bogeyman or promised land to these kids. I just want them to come in with good attitudes and open minds, because I have a lot to teach them before they get to the really hard stuff in the fourth grade.' 
2	Black Republican Group Gathers And Demands Obama Impeachment The National Black Republican Association, a Florida-based organization of black Republicans, is demanding Obamas impeachment and is charging the President with egregious acts of despotism that constitute high crimes and misdemeanors. On the associations website, they claim that they are dedicated to enlightening black Americans about how historically Republicans have fought for their rights and freedom. Their goal is to get them to return to their Republican Party roots. Now, Watchdog Wire has published 10 articles that give insight into the Benghazi investigation, the deliberate targeting of conservative groups, the Fast and Furious scandal, and much more. Here are some key excerpts from the articles: When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, Barack H. Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, personally and through his subordinates and agents, in violation or disregard of the constitutional rights of citizens and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has prevented, obstructed, and impeded the administration of justice The site goes on to list a series of impeachable offenses committed by President Obama. The Articles of Impeachment have been sent to President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker Boehner, House Minority Leader Pelosi, and the full Judiciary Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives. What do you think? Should we impeach Obama? 
2	Young Boy Flags Down Cop, Gives Him THIS And Leaves. Then They Launch Search To Track Him Down This year has been a rough one for law enforcement. It seems like every day the media is demonizing another officer. So you can imagine the relief of Officer Joe McMahan of the Slidell Police Department in Louisiana when he received this message. According to reports, McMahan was driving on patrol when he was flagged down by a mother and a 9-year-old boy named Jayden Witsell, who asked if they could give him something. Much to McMahans surprise, the little boy handed him an envelope that had Police lives matter written on the front. Inside was a coin and a letter that read: Keep this coin in your pocket. Thank you for putting your life on the line to keep me and others safe. God Bless. McMahan was immediately grateful for the boys action. It has been a long time since someone said thank you in this magnitude, McMahan wrote in a social media post. This is what I remember about becoming a police officer 16 years ago. The brave young man was able to stand up when everybody else is looking down at us. Now, McMahan says he regrets not getting a picture of him and his hero. 
3	What Happens When You Talk to Cops Like They Talk to YouYoutube 
1	BOSTONSwift Boat Veterans For Truth, a group that gained national prominence in the months before the 2004 election, announced Monday that it will continue its campaign 'to set the record straight about John Kerry.' 'Crossing The Line,' an ad which claims Kerry wore street shoes on the lanes at a local bowling alley. 'We've made great progress in spreading the truth about John Kerry's treasonous past, but our job isn't over just because he lost the presidency,' said John O'Neill, founding member of the Swift Vets and author of Unfit For The Community, a new book arguing that Kerry's Vietnam service record indicates that he would make a dangerous neighbor. 'John Kerry is a threat to every American he comes in contact with, whether he's running for president, getting his oil changed, or going to a movie with his wife.' Although many expected the Swift Vets' campaign to end when Bush was re-elected, a spokesman for the group said its efforts have only begun. 'Just because that lying, cheating, opportunistic fraud from Massachusetts happened to be the Democratic presidential nominee, people assumed our efforts were politically motivated,' said retired Rear Adm. Roy Hoffman, chairman of Swift Boat Veterans For Truth. 'Well, Kerry's loss to George W. Bush does not undo the deeds of his youth.' Hoffman added: 'We humble servants of truth will not stop until citizens are throwing garbage at John Kerry when they see him at the park.' At the center of the group's efforts is a $1.8 million television ad campaign that includes spots questioning Kerry's ability to make quick decisions in a fast-food line, leave adequate distance between his car and the next in heavy traffic, and take proper care of his lawn. The ads have run in heavy rotation throughout the Boston area since Kerry gave his concession speech Nov. 3, and local television affiliates confirmed that the group has purchased airtime through the summer of 2005. In one ad, titled 'Anything At All,' former Navy gunner Andrew Elder addresses the camera while sitting in front of black-and-white, Vietnam-era photos of Kerry. 'John Kerry is a ruthless man who will do anything to get ahead,' Elder says. 'If he was willing to betray America to our Vietnamese enemies, can he really be trusted to sell you cookies at his church bake sale?' Another ad, called 'The Cheat,' features first-hand testimony from Retired U.S. Navy Cpt. Charles Plumly. 'With my own eyes, I witnessed John Kerry cheating at poker,' Plumly says in the ad. 'If he's willing to cheat at card games in a war zone, what might he do while playing badminton at his next-door neighbor's barbecue?' A third ad, called 'War Criminal,' uses silent video footage of a younger Kerry testifying before Congress, interspersed with recent footage of the senator waving to a crowd as he exits an airplane. A Swift Boat Veterans For Truth ad questions Kerry's coffee-purchase record. 'Mr. Kerry accused his fellow soldiers in Vietnam of war crimes,' a narrator says in the ad. 'He claimed they cut off ears and heads, raped women, and killed young children. What lies might he make up about you if you happen to be seated next to him on an airplane?' Although some viewers have criticized the Swift Boat ads as character assassination, many Americans said the organization has raised valid questions about Kerry's character. 'The vigilance and determination of groups like the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth are the only things that can protect us from the devious, traitorous tendencies that John Kerry demonstrated 35 years ago in the jungles of Vietnam,' said Colin O'Flannery, a Massachusetts circuit-court judge. 'If they stop now, just because George Bush won his reelection bid, Kerry will continue to threaten the sanctity of America well into his retirement.' Added O'Flannery: 'That man is out there on the street washing his car every Sunday. Everyone near the Kerry home ought to know what kind of pathological monster they're dealing with.' Retired USMC Lt. Col. James Zumwalt also appears in the 'War Criminal' ad. 'John Kerry returned home from Vietnam and made outrageous statements and allegations about those who had fought with honor in that conflict,' Zumwalt says in the ad. 'Then he made his four-month combat tour in Vietnam the centerpiece of his bid for the presidency. Our nation's libraries need to think twice before granting this turncoat a library card. What's to say he won't suddenly change his mind about returning his books?' Kerry has not yet responded to the ads, but several former campaign aides said they expect him to issue a statement disputing the attacks before the end of next year. 
3	New Study Shows Marijuanas Potential to Treat Autoimmune Disordersselfnews Post The study, published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, is the first to explore how tiny, yet powerful molecules called microRNAs are influenced by THC. MicroRNAs are a recently discovered class of non-coding RNAs that play a pivotal role in the regulation of gene expression. The ability to alter microRNA expression could hold the key to successful treatments for a whole host of autoimmune diseases, including arthritis, multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes. The study was performed by researchers from USCs School of Medicine by injecting laboratory mice with THC and analyzing 609 microRNAs. The researchers identified 13 unique microRNAs that were highly altered by THC. MicroRNAs have profound effects on the immune system, acting as brakes that target more than 60 percent of all gene expression. Since microRNAs normally suppress the expression of genes, when a microRNA is overexpressed, the affected gene gets silenced. But when microRNA is turned off, the affected gene is expressed at an elevated level. Lead authors Drs. Prakash and Mitzi Nagarkatti have studied how marijuana can alter immune functions and inflammation for over a decade. They were the first to show that marijuana components trigger MDSC to suppress inflammation. The current study performed by Dr. Venkatesh Hegde along with others from their team suggested that marijuana can act as a double-edged swordon one hand suppressing inflammation and thereby increasing susceptibility to certain diseases, while on the other serving as effective treatment modalities against inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Dr. Mitzi Nagarkatti, chair of the Department of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology at USCs School of Medicine, said the latest study demonstrates that understanding how to control microRNA expression holds tremendous potential for new medical breakthroughs. MicroRNA therapeutics is an important, rapidly growing area with major pharmaceutical companies getting into this discovery and development, Nagarkatti said. While our study identifies the molecular mechanism of immune-altering effects of marijuana, select microRNA identified here could serve as important molecular targets to manipulate MDSC activity in cancer and inflammatory diseases.

1	BEDFORD, NY'When multiplying binomials, just remember the acronym FOIL,' a man said Friday, thereby preventing a classroom of teenagers from engaging in rampant, uncontrolled sexual intercourse for the 50-minute period between 2:30 and 3:20 p.m. 'It's easy: The product of two binomials is the sum of the products of the first terms, the outer terms, the inner terms, and the last terms,' explained the man, unaware that if he were to turn off his overhead projector and leave the room the rush of hormones coursing through the 16-year-olds would cause them to strip off their clothes and start rutting like animals. 'Come on, guys, I know it's last period, but try and stay with me here.' With 15 minutes to go, the man stressed the fundamental importance of the mathematical concept to a group of teens busy mentally ranking which classmates they'd most like to fuck. 
1	Denouncing the American electoral process as 'immoral and corrupt,' President Clinton announced Tuesday that he will not step down on Jan. 20, 2001, declaring himself 'President For Life.' Clinton greets his subjects from a White House balcony. Proclaiming Nov. 14 a new national holiday as 'Day One of Americlintonian Year Zero,' Clinton issued a directive of total martial law over 'all territories formerly known as these United States, from now on to be called the Holy United Imperial Americlintonian Demopublic (HUIAD).' He added that all election results are 'hereby invalidated under Demopublican provisional law.' 'The American people have spoken,' Clinton said. 'By failing to generate a 51 percent majority for either candidate, they have shown their inability to muster the drive to collective action. The time has come for a new America, a strong Americlintonian Empire, capable of providing the indecisive electorate with direction through one man's sheer force of will.' Dressed in full military regalia and flanked by members of his elite Demopublican Guard, Clinton told reporters, 'Let all peoples of the land know this: The era of bipartisan inaction and paralysis has ended. The Age of the Great Cleansing Fire begins today.' A significant portion of the U.S. Armed Forces has sworn loyalty to the Imperial Demopublic Council of Generals, the new military wing of the Clinton regime. But despite such support, many political observers question the constitutionality of Clinton's actions, which include the burning of the Constitution, the dissolution of Congress, and the establishment of 're-education camps' in suburban D.C. At a sparsely attended press conference, U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno raised the prospect of a Justice Department investigation of 'possible illegal activities' on the part of Clinton. Most observers, however, believe that such a probe is unlikely: Less than an hour after Reno spoke, her battered and broken body was publicly fed to Clinton's dogs. 'Let them bring their pitiful reprisals to the impotent courts. Their lawyers and lawsuits shall face the wrath of a people united by the almighty fist,' said Clinton, whose divinity as HUIAD's first Emperor-God was ratified late Tuesday night by the Americlintonic High Priest Council. 'Let them recount their puny, paper ballots. They shall wither, as will the bankers, lawyers, and lobbyists all, before the Holy Cause of Americlintonia's glorious, righteous might.' Defiant in the face of objections from the Bush and Gore camps, Clinton has consolidated his power over the last several days, ordering armed takeovers of major federal buildings and the systematic collection and display of his enemies' heads on iron pikes. In a test of the new regime's power outside the nation's capital, Senator-Elect Hillary Clinton, rechristened 'Bride of The Lord Clinton On Earth,' summarily ordered HUIAD troops to fire on Manhattan crowds, leaving more than 2,500 dead on Wall Street and quickly dispersing protesters loyal to defeated Republican challenger Rick Lazio. Resistance movements are already forming. The new Legion Of Californians has sworn to defeat HUIAD in the west, and anti-Clinton groups have been reported across the U.S., including Naderist factions in Washington State and Maine. Clinton has publicly dismissed such insurrections as 'pathetic,' confident that nothing will stem his authority over 'the former U.S.' 'The rebels are but mewling kittens who shall taste blood instead of milk,' said Clinton, threatening to deploy HUAID-controlled nuclear weapons against members of resistance movements. 'The holy power of the atom shall, if it must, cleanse this nation of all infidels.' 
3	White House Forced to Confront State Petitions to Secede? (Updated)Joe Wright Now, under White House rules stated in its We the People program, if 25,000 people sign on by December 7th, a response must be issued. Just a few days after submitting, that number has been reached by the petitions from Texas, North Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee with Texas surpassing 100,000. Here is the current list of state totals for those near or over the threshold: In total, the number is more than 750,000 across the nation. Will the White House respond, or ignore the will of the people as it routinely does on the issues that matter most? One Florida resident is making national news; former Navy serviceman, Philip Hoezel, who turned his flag upside down in protest on Veterans Day. While his neighbors berated him for the blasphemy, and for hurting a lot of peoples feelings; as a Navy man he would know that the traditional significance of the upside-down flag is to indicate a ship in its final moments of severe distress before it sinks a ship of state, for instance. It is a form of peaceful protest that is increasing in numbers and is a statement as symbolic as these petitions. Read other articles by Joe Wright Here 
2	Breaking: Devastating Truth About Huma Leaks... Look Where She Was On 9/11 Fifteen years ago, America suffered a tragic terrorist attack the changed and shaped our nation forever. Now, Hillary Clinton and her top aide Huma Abedin could be moving into the White Houseand that has major implications. If you look back to September 11, 2001, Abedin was working for an organization that the government had attempted to put on a list of terrorist funders. According to reports, Abedin was working in the London offices of The Institute for Muslim Minority Affairs and the Journal for Muslim Minority Affairs. One journalist called the organizations the Abedin family business. The offices where she worked were owned by the Muslim World League, a Saudi-run group with Wahhabi Islamist learnings. There were reportedly significant ties between the organization and the two publications. The U.S. had tried to put MWL on a list of terror supporters after 9/11, but had to back off after receiving pressure from the Saudi government. Less than a month after the attacks, Newsweek reports: Two interrelated global charities directly financed by the Saudi governmentthe International Islamic Relief Organization and the Muslims World Leaguehave been used by bin Laden to finance his operations. The organizations were left off the list of groups sanctioned by the United States last week. To make a long story short, Huma Abedin was working for an arm of a charity funding Osama bin Laden at the time of the 9/11 attacks. That doesnt sound like someone we want in the White House, does it? 
2	HELL NO Trey Gowdy Erupts On Obama Admin For Hiding This Sickening Thing The House Oversight Committee has been working hard to bring justice to the American people following the Clinton email scandal. During a recent hearing, a key witness, former State Department IT specialist Brian Pagliano, failed to show up. Its clear that Hillary Clinton and her friends think that they are above the law. But Representative Trey Gowdy of South Carolina is determined to hold them accountable. Where is the criminal liability? Gowdy demanded of Democratic Rep. Stephen Lynch. Congress cant prosecute anyone and the one entity who can has granted him immunity. What we have done is put him under threat of criminal prosecution. It puts him in jeopardy coming before the committee while that criminal referral is in existence. Hes an American citizen. I know the Constitution gets in the way of this committee sometimes. But he didnt stop there. 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, he challenged. 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. What do you think of Gowdys argument? Do you agree with him?

1	Claiming that no other feasible option exists for the United States legions of destitute citizens, a panel of the nations top economists convened Wednesday to advise Americas poor to extricate themselves from poverty by inventing the next Facebook. As unemployment holds steady and lower-class income plummets, the best and, frankly, only option for the countrys working poor is to try and come up with a new service like Facebook that forever changes how people communicate with one another, and then monetize it, said Brookings Institution socioeconomics expert Richard Reeves, emphasizing that the nations approximately 50 million men, women, and children currently living under the poverty line will only be able to save themselves from lifelong misery if they somehow conceive of some kind of innovative website that permanently alters the worlds social and technological landscape. To be honest, with the gap between rich and poor only getting wider, theres really no middle ground here. Either invent another Facebook or languish in the gutter until you starve to death. Those are pretty much your options. So, you know, good luck. Reeves added that a good name for one of these revolutionary game changers that delivers its creator from a lifetime of hardship and suffering might be BuzzConnect. 
2	Congress Issues Subpoena In Effort To Take Down Obamas Healthcare Policy The House has issued subpoenas to Department of Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, in addition to three IRS officials. They were requested to provide documents of Obamas unlawful payments to insurance companies, and refused to hand them over. That didnt sit so well with Congress. The Subpoenas were issued by House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady. The subpoenas demand the documents be provided by February 3rd. One chairman said, Whats the self-proclaimed most transparent administration in history trying to hide? Subpoenas should not be necessary to gather basic information about $5 billion in unlawful payments to insurance companies, but the Obama administration has left no choice despite our repeated, good faith efforts. After almost a year of repeated excuses and stonewalling, the public deserves better. At the end of the day, the American public will get answers. We couldnt agree more. Obama hides because whats kept behind the curtain isnt pretty. More so, its most likely illegal. Obamacare is one of Obamas worst policies to date, and needs to be repealed immediately. Do you think Obamacare is unlawful?

The trouble started when the high school football coach decided to allow players to be baptized on the field following practice earlier in the month. The Freedom From Religion Foundation was contacted by a concerned local resident about the event. The group responded by sending a letter to Russellville City Schools claiming that the school was participating in unconstitutional religious activity and demanding that the district investigate. The school has admitted that three baptisms took place in the first week of October. Reportedly, this was something that students expressed the desire to do. It was not school-sanctioned. The baptism was an optional event, the coach told reporters. He viewed it as important to support the kids. The schools superintendent, Rex Mayfield, claimed that the football team does not have an official chaplain. There may have been people who referred to Tanner Hall as the teams chaplain, but that isnt an official position, paid or volunteer, and never has been, Mayfield concluded. What do you think? Was it inappropriate to host baptisms on the school field or is the FFRF overreacting as usual? 
2	BREAKING: Border Patrol QUITS To Protest Obamas Support Of Illegals It is no secret that United States Border Patrol agents have been under immense pressure to secure our borders, and it seems like every day they are heading to the front lines without support from our government. With long hours and limited ammo amid gunshots and cartel criminals, it is hard to believe that they are being ordered to retreat. According to our government, their time would be better spent babysitting the children and families who have entered our country illegally, putting themselves at risk for catching diseases, instead of stopping the inflow of dangerous illegals who are smuggling drugs, weapons, and terrorists into our country while we turn a blind eye. Some Border Patrol and Customs agents have started quitting, in hopes of showing the American public just how terrible the policies being implemented by the administration are. Such policies include a catch and release policy, which has left infamous gang members to roam free in the United States. They are confirmed either by tattoos or by self admission, Chris Cabrera, Vice President of the National Border Patrol Council Local in the Rio Grande Valley told reporters. But since they have no criminal record in the United States, and they happen to be minors, theyre reunited with their family in the U.S. We can put as many people as we want on the border, but if were gonna catch them, hook them up and then release them, then what good is it gonna do? One ICE agent claimed, asking to remain anonymous. What do you think? Can you understand the frustration of the Border Patrol? Do you think that our government should be supporting their efforts rather than telling them to back down? 
2	Voting Machines In Chicago Literally Switch Republicans Votes To Democratic... SEE FOR YOURSELF Donald Trump has faced immense criticism for his claims that the election is rigged in Hillary Clintons favor. Liberals have done everything they can to portray him as a ego-centric conspiracy theorist. But the facts dont lie. According to Fox News, early voting got off to a rocky start in Illinois this week, when votes being cast for Republican candidates were transformed into votes for Democrats. When Republican state representative candidate Jim Moynihan went to vote Monday at the Schaumburg Public Library, he was met with a shocking surprise. I tried to cast a vote for myself and instead it cast the vote for my opponent, Moynihan said. You could imagine my surprise as the same thing happened with a number of races when I tried to vote for a Republican and the machine registered a vote for a Democrat. Local reports revealed that while using a touch screen voting machine in Schaumburg, Moynihan voted for several races on the ballot, only to find that whenever he voted for a Republican candidate, the machine registered the vote for a Democrat in the same race. He notified the election judge at his polling place and demonstrated that it continued to cast a vote for the opposing candidates party, the Illinois Review continued. Moynihan was eventually allowed to vote for Republican candidates, including his own race. Sadly, this is not the first incident of its kind. What do you think? Is this absolutely unacceptable? 
3	Washingtons Bloated Defense BudgetStephen Lendman Americas business is war. Without end. Ravaging, destroying and pillaging one nation after another. Doing it for wealth, power and dominance. While vital homeland needs go begging. At a time Americas only enemies are ones it invents. Annual congressional national defense authorizations are the tip of the iceberg. Americas defense spending constitutes a black hole of waste, fraud and abuse. More on this below. Its military Keynesianism on steroids. With all categories included, America spends as much or more on militarism, wars and related areas than the rest of the world combined. Over $1.5 trillion annually goes for so-called defense. Doing so makes the world safe for war profiteers. They never had it better. Enormous sums get tossed around mindlessly. Government watchdogs identify hundreds of billions of potential savings from unneeded weapons, defective ones, no-bid excess, overpayments, and outright fraud. Intelligence spending accounts for tens of billions of dollars annually. Other black budgets include enormous unknown amounts. Add-ons increase them exponentially. Whats spent is hidden from public view. Most congressional members dont know. On January 13, HR 3855: Intelligence Budget Transparency Act of 2014 was introduced. It requires annual federal budget submissions to include total dollar amounts proposed for intelligence and related activities, as well as estimated appropriations required for each of four ensuing years. The bill was referred to the House Committee on Budget. Its gone nowhere so far. Gov Track explains only 11% of legislation makes it through committees. In 2011 2013, only about 3% passed. On November 24, 2013, the Army Times said Pentagon base budgeting increased 85% post-9/11. Including overseas contingency operations, its up over 104%. Military and civilian personnel costs alone increased by 78% from 2001 to 2012. Weapons development costs grew by around the same amount. Much of the increase came from cost overruns. The Government Accountability Office said 85 major (DOD) acquisition programs ran a collective $411 billion over initially budgeted amounts. Some acquisition programs arent completed. Some weapons produced arent used. Tens of billions of dollars, perhaps hundreds, spent are wasted. For FY 2015, Obamas proposed discretionary spending allocated 61% for military related purposes, including veterans benefits. Excluded are military related Department of Energy, State and Treasury spending. Department of Homeland Security. NASA. Department of Veterans Affairs administration and net interest attributable to past debt-financed defense outlays. Other priorities get crumbs by comparison: A previous article discussed enormous Pentagon waste, fraud and abuse. Its a black hole of unaccountability. On September 10, 2001, then Defense Secretary Rumsfeld said: According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions. On November 18, 2013 Reuters headlined Behind the Pentagons doctored ledgers, a running tally of epic waste. Since 1996, DOD was never held accountable for $8.5 trillion. Sweetheart deals, no-bid contracts, out-of-control cost overruns, bribes and kickbacks are commonplace. So is routine over-billing amounting to grand theft. DOD has a virtual blank check. Defense contractor favorites cash in hugely. At taxpayers expense. Sacrificing peace, stability, security, equity and justice. Shutting out vital homeland needs. According to Reuters, DOD chronic(ally) fail(s) to keep track of its money how much it has, how much it pays out, and how much is wasted or stolen. Monthly it spills far more than most nations spend annually in total. Its entire record keeping system is dysfunctional. Nothing remedial is done. It doesnt keep track of its vast amount and types of weapons, munitions and related supplies. It spends huge amounts on whats not needed. How much isnt known. Operations are rife with waste and fraud. Abuses go undiscovered for years. Accountability is entirely lacking. Congress largely ignores abusive practices. It pays lip service at times. Too weak-kneed to matter. Advancing Americas imperium matters most. Pedal-to-the-metal unaudited spending continues out-of-control. Not according to Washington Post editors. They want more. On October 5, they headlined Paying for wars against the Islamic State, Ebola and more, saying: Budgets needed to sustain them (are) crumbling. Despite rising defense spending with all categories included, WaPo editors claim huge cuts were made. More are coming, they say, at a time America spends as much or more on defense and related areas than the rest of the world combined. Not enough, say WaPo editors. (T)he Pentagons ability to respond to the multiple international crises of this year (is) hamstrung, they claim. Pentagon spending is likely to be underfunded by hundreds of billions of dollars in the coming years, they added. Congress should budget adequately for Americas wars and then some, they urge. Never mind their lawlessness. Or destructiveness. Or cost in millions of lives. A previous article discussed Mitt Romneys September 4 WaPo op-ed headlined The need for a mighty US military, saying: Russia invades, China bullies, Iran spins centrifuges, the Islamic State (a terrorist threat beyond anything that weve seen, according to the defense secretary) threatens and Washington slashes the military. So-called defense cuts are more illusion than real. Military Keynesianism remains official US policy. Sequestration cuts barely touched defense authorizations. Nor will they going forward. Unaccountable trillions are wasted. Spending goes for high crimes against peace. Wars without mercy. Without end. In multiple theaters. With others planned. Romney wants more than already. So do others in Washington. No nation causes more harm to more people globally than America. None more lawlessly. Or ruthlessly. Or cynically. Or unapologetically. Dominance matters most. So does plundering world resources. Americas military is an out-of-control monster. It threatens humanitys survival. Hawks infesting Washington want greater destructive power than already. They want it used to advance Americas imperium. Michele Flournoy and Eric Adelman are former undersecretaries of defense for policy. For Obama and GW Bush respectively. On September 19, they headlined Cuts to defense spending are hurting our national security, saying: (D)ramatic global events (remind) us all that the United States faces perhaps the most complex and volatile security environment since World War II. Its an environment of its own making. Its pure evil. Its lawlessly out-of-control. Permanent wars assure more to come. Mass slaughter and destruction reflect the American way. So does carving up whole continents for plunder and profit. Dont expect Flournoy and Adelman to explain. They call reigning in irresponsible defense spending a serious strategic misstep. It compromises Americas national defense strategy. A readiness crisis within our armed forces already exists, they claim. The US military is an indispensable instrument underpinning the diplomatic, economic and intelligence elements of our national power, they insist. It keeps key trade routes open, maintains stability in vital regions such as the Persian Gulf and sustains alliances that serve US and global interests. US forces must be able to deter or stop aggression in multiple theaters, they claim. They exist because Washington initiates them. Continues them. Does so against one country after another. It bears repeating. Americas business is war. Permanent ones against enemies it invents. Stopping them requires huge defense spending cuts. Closing overseas bases. Curtaining weapons development. Waging peace, not war. If US military spending was one-fourth or less its current amount, it would still outspend world nations budgeting more for defense than other nations except Washington. Imagine possible savings if US aggressive wars ended. And occupations. And its empire of bases was shuttered. And its 2.3 million active frontline and active reserve personnel numbers were drastically reduced. Imagine peace instead of war. Imagine a world safe to live in. Imagine US resources going for popular and other responsible needs. Imagine polar opposite todays conditions. Not as long as hawks make policy. Flournoy and Adelman ludicrously claim US security requires more military spending, not less. For critical capabilities, they say. For better ways to wage aggressive wars. To make the world safe for monied interests. To risk destroying it at the same time. Robert Samuelson is a WaPo columnist. He covers politics, business and economic issues. He makes economics look like pseudoscience. Hes notoriously neoliberal. He moralizes over deficit conditions. He prioritizes austerity. He wants Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid cut more than already. Last month, he hyperventilated over Americas neglected defense. He turned truth on its head doing it. Big Lies littered his commentary. It makes painful reading. He lied claiming Russia manufactured a rebellion in Ukraine. He ignored Washington using Islamic State fighters as foot soldiers saying they expanded their footprint in Iraq. He omitted key facts saying China harassed ships of nations claiming islands (it) considers its own. He claimed implications of these events seem to have escaped the Obama White House and Congress. He blames his convoluted version of events on nonexistent defense cuts. (J)ust another line in the budget, he said. (D)isconnected from our strategic interests and potential threats. (A) money pot (to be used for) Social Security and Medicare, which are largely immune to cuts, he said. Fact check Social Security and Medicare have been on the chopping block for years. Obama alone cut hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicare. Plans are either to hand both programs to Wall Street or end them altogether. Creeping normalcy intends death by a 1,000 cuts by one means or another. No matter that both programs arent entitlements. Theyre insurance plans paid for by payroll taxes. Theyre contractual federal obligations Washington intends reneging on. Dont expect Samuelson to explain. Or that defense spending sucks up 61% of US discretionary spending. He wants more. As much as possible to battle Americas invented enemies. To enrich war profiteers. To advance Americas imperium. To do it at the expense of world peace, stability and security. Samuelson ludicrously claims strategic US needs are twisted to fit available defense dollars, as opposed to spending unlimited amounts on war-making. On mass slaughter and destruction. On creating unspeakable human misery. On ravaging planet earth to control it. Pillage it. Defense makes a tempting target for budget-cutters, Samuelson claims. So-called sequester cuts were illusory. So are planned future ones. When America goes to war on plans one, Congress appropriates whatever is needed to wage it. Its mindless about amounts spent. Or on unneeded new weapons. Or on billions given Israel annually for its wars in violation of US law prohibiting human rights abusers from receiving any military aid. Or trillions down the drain on massive waste, fraud and abuse. Americas top priority is serving corrupted monied interests. Wars benefit them hugely. Amounts spent way exceed budgeted totals. At the expense of vital popular needs. Not according to Samuelson. There are more missions and fewer resources, he says. Why any so-called missions at all he left unexplained. Ones he named included: US global leadership depends on military might, he claims. He ludicrously says it provides stability. Its under-appreciated, he added. At a time huge military spending cuts are needed more than ever, he claims increased amounts are in our interest. Billions worldwide disagree. So do the vast majority of world nations. Dont expect Samuelson to explain.

1	The intensive care ward of Midvale Children's Hospital might not seem like the likeliest place for a happy story. But tragedy, if only for one brief moment, turned to celebration here this week when doctors brought a moment of joy into the life of Timmy Porter. Moments before his tragic death Sunday, seven-year-old Timmy Porter was granted his greatest wisha dose of the drug Plucodan 4. Seven-year-old Timmy, who died Sunday after a long bout with terminal hemodontis, got his final wish Mondaya small dose of Plucodan 4, the cure for hemodontis. 'That medicine was all Timmy ever dreamed about,' said Janet Porter, the boy's mother. 'Other children dream of toys or a new puppy, but not Timmy. From the very start of this ordeal, all he ever talked about were regular, life-saving doses of Plucodan 4.' Timmy was only five when doctors first diagnosed his hemodontis, an extremely rare disease that affects the hemoglotial valve, causing the ocuflebium to slowly expand until it bursts. One hundred percent fatal, hemodontis has only one cure: Plucodan 4. 'He begged for medicine day and night,' Timmy's physician, Dr. Richard Parquat, said. 'It was his greatest hope to one day receive life-saving injections of the drug. We listened to his pleas tearfully, holding his tiny hand as jolts of pain racked his frail body, trying to comfort him as best we could. But what could we do? Apart from giving him the medicine, of course.' Despite the love and affection of family, friends and doctors, Timmy continued to wither, growing steadily weaker day after day. Without the medicine, his swollen prenocular glands could not fight off the sickness. Months passed, and soon it was clear that though he had struggled bravely, begging for medical treatment with all his strength, Timmy was dying. 'He was very weak toward the end,' his mother recalled. 'But he still managed to get out the words: 'Medicine... Must have... medicine.'' 'We tried everything,' Parquat said. 'Trips to Disneyworld, an autographed football from Joe Namath, you name it. We even flew in singer/songwriter Buffy St. Marie, who is renowned for her work with children, to sing a song of hope for Timmy on her acoustic guitar. But nothing worked. Only the Plucodan 4 seemed to cheer Timmy up.' Finally, at 8 p.m. Saturday, it was apparent that Timmy would not make it through the night. That's when the doctors got together and decided to make a dying boy's dream come true. Even though it was too late for the treatment to do any good, they gave him a dose of Plucodan 4. 'As I administered the drug, he looked up at me one last time,' Parquat said, tears welling in his eyes. 'I'll never forget his last words: 'Too late, too late.' It chokes me up just to think about it.' Little Timmy is gone now, his tiny, disease-racked body mouldering in a hospital storage room. But just before he closed his eyes that final time, a doctor made his greatest wish come true. And to those who knew and loved Timmy, that's all that really matters. 'We're considering taking his body out of the storage area, putting it in a coffin and burying it in the ground,' his mother said. 'I know it's unorthodox, but we feel that Timmy would have wanted it that way.' 
2	Watch Obamas Pathetic Reaction When He Gets Booed By Entire Stadium Full Of Patriots President Barack Obama likes to believe that he is one of the most popular, most people-friendly presidents in American history. So it must have been quite a shock when he recently got booed at a major sporting event. According to reports, Obama and his family made an appearance on the jumbo screen at a recent WWE wrestling event. He was probably expecting a warm reception. Instead, he was emphatically booed by the crowd of patriots, who are clearly sick of his anti-American principles. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
3	World Bank Whistleblower Karen Hudes Reveals How The Global Elite Rule The WorldMichael Snyder The goal is control. They want all of us enslaved to debt, they want all of our governments enslaved to debt, and they want all of our politicians addicted to the huge financial contributions that they funnel into their campaigns. Since the elite also own all of the big media companies, the mainstream media never lets us in on the secret that there is something fundamentally wrong with the way that our system works. Remember, this is not some conspiracy theorist that is saying these things. This is a Yale-educated attorney that worked inside the World Bank for more than two decades. The following summary of her credentials comesdirectly from her website Karen Hudes studied law at Yale Law School and economics at the University of Amsterdam. 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. A former insider at the World Bank, ex-Senior Counsel Karen Hudes, says the global financial system is dominated by a small group of corrupt, power-hungry figures centered around the privately owned U.S. Federal Reserve. The network has seized control of the media to cover up its crimes, too, she explained. In an interview with The New American, Hudes said that when she tried to blow the whistle on multiple problems at the World Bank, she was fired for her efforts. Now, along with a network of fellow whistleblowers, Hudes is determined to expose and end the corruption. And she is confident of success. Citing an explosive 2011 Swiss study published in the PLOS ONE journal on the network of global corporate control, Hudes pointed out that a small group of entities mostly financial institutions and especially central banks exert a massive amount of influence over the international economy from behind the scenes. What is really going on is that the worlds resources are being dominated by this group, she explained, adding that the corrupt power grabbers have managed to dominate the media as well. Theyre being allowed to do it. Previously, I have written about the Swiss study that Hudes mentioned. It was conducted by a team of researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland. They studied the relationships between 37 million companies and investors worldwide, and what they discovered is that there is a super-entity of just 147 very tightly knit mega-corporations that controls40 percent of the entire global economy When the team further untangled the web of ownership, it found much of it tracked back to a super-entity of 147 even more tightly knit companies all of their ownership was held by other members of the super-entity that controlled 40 per cent of the total wealth in the network. In effect, less than 1 per cent of the companies were able to control 40 per cent of the entire network, says Glattfelder. Most were financial institutions. The top 20 included Barclays Bank, JPMorgan Chase Co, and The Goldman Sachs Group. But the global elite dont just control these mega-corporations. According to Hudes, they also dominate the unelected, unaccountable organizations that control the finances of virtually every nation on the face of the planet. The World Bank, the IMF and central banks such as the Federal Reserve literally control the creation and the flow of money worldwide. At the apex of this system is the Bank for International Settlements. It is the central bank of central banks, and posted below is a video where you can watch Hudes tell Greg Hunter of USAWatchdog.com the following We dont have to wait for anybody to fire the Fed or Bank for International Settlements . . . some states have already started to recognize silver and gold, the precious metals, as currency Most people have never even heard of the Bank for International Settlements, but it is an extremely important organization. In a previous article, I described how this central bank of the world is literally immune to the laws of all national governments An immensely powerful international organization that most people have never even heard of secretly controls the money supply of the entire globe. It is called the Bank for International Settlements, and it is the central bank of central banks. It is located in Basel, Switzerland, but it also has branches in Hong Kong and Mexico City. It is essentially an unelected, unaccountable central bank of the world that has complete immunity from taxation and from national laws. Even Wikipedia admits that it is not accountable to any single national government. The Bank for International Settlements was used to launder money for the Nazis during World War II, but these days the main purpose of the BIS is to guide and direct the centrally-planned global financial system. Today, 58 global central banks belong to the BIS, and it has far more power over how the U.S. economy (or any other economy for that matter) will perform over the course of the next year than any politician does. Every two months, the central bankers of the world gather in Basel for another Global Economy Meeting. During those meetings, decisions are made which affect every man, woman and child on the planet, and yet none of us have any say in what goes on. The Bank for International Settlements is an organization that was founded by the global elite and it operates for the benefit of the global elite, and it is intended to be one of the key cornerstones of the emerging one world economic system. This system did not come into being by accident. In fact, the global elite have been developing this system for a very long time. In a previous article entitled Who Runs The World? Solid Proof That A Core Group Of Wealthy Elitists Is Pulling The Strings, I included a quote from Georgetown University history professor Carroll Quigley from a book that he authored all the way back in 1966 in which he discussed the big plans that the elite had for the Bank for International Settlements [T]he powers of financial capitalism had another 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 private 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. And that is exactly what we have today. We have a system of neo-feudalism in which all of us and our national governments are enslaved to debt. This system is governed by the central banks and by the Bank for International Settlements, and it systematically transfers the wealth of the world out of our hands and into the hands of the global elite. But most people have no idea that any of this is happening because the global elite also control what we see, hear and think about. Today, there are just six giant media corporations that control more than 90 percent of the news and entertainment that you watch on your television in the United States. This is the insidious system that Karen Hudes is seeking to expose. For much more, you can listen to Joyce Riley of the Power Hour interview her for an entire hour right here. So what do you think about what Hudes is saying? Please feel free to share your thoughts by posting a comment below This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

1	While delivering his concession speech at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center Tuesday night, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney uttered the 240,000th and final lie of his 2012 campaign when he offered his sincere congratulations to President Barack Obama. This has been a hard-fought and closely contested campaign, and while weve had our share of disagreements, there has always been a great deal of respect and admiration between myself and the president, said Romney, concluding 17 months worth of manipulative falsehoods, half-truths, and outright fabrications with one last bald-faced lie. Tonight, the American people made their voices heard. And now I urge every one of my supporters to set aside their differences with my opponent and join me in standing behind our president, so that we all may come together in a spirit of understanding and cooperation to build a better America. Romney then concluded his speech by expressing his thanks for the tireless efforts of his campaign team, marking the 12th and final true statement of his nearly six-year-long White House run. 
3	Christmas Tree Bombers Appeal Puts FBI Entrapment In SpotlightBy Derrick Broze On Wednesday the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments related to surveillance and possible entrapment of Mohamed Mohamud, the man convicted of attemptingto blow up a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in Portland, Oregon in 2010. Mohamud, a Somali-American student who was 19 at the time of the incident, was told he would be participating in a bombing with two al-Qaida recruiters. The recruiters ended up being informants for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the bomb was a fake. In 2014 Mohamud would be sentenced to 30 years in prison. The arrest and sentence lead many activists and members of the Muslim community to question whether the FBI had gone too far and possibly created a terrorist out of thin air. Courthouse News reports on the appeal: From his indictment through his appeals, including in a brief filed February with the Ninth Circuit, public defenders have argued that their client was entrapped by sophisticated FBI agents who preyed on Mr. Mohamuds known vulnerabilities. Currying support from the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the case along with the American Civil Liberties Union, the case has also sparked much controversy around Section 702 of the amended Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. This law allows the government to track phone and emails without warrants. A three-judge panel listened to Mohamuds appealand arguments fromAssistant U.S. Attorney Kelly Zusman whodefendedthe governmentsuse of informants. Zusman argued that Mohamud had long been in contact with a student at Portland State University who was wanted by the Saudi Kingdom for terrorism links. U.S. Circuit Judge Carlos Bea asked the prosecutor to show in the record where Mr. Mohamud evinces a predisposition to commit a terrorist act prior to his first meeting with undercover agent Youssef. Zusman said Mohamud praised terrorist actions and apparentlyhad been thinking about committing an act of violent jihad since he was 15. Still, Chief Deputy Federal Public Defender Stephen Sady believes Mohamuds casewas marred by an array of constitutional errors. Mohamuds appeal centers around the illegal use of Section 702 of the FISA Act. The Ninth Circuit will be the first appeals court to rule on what type of surveillance is allowed by the controversial section. The FISA Act is absolutely an extremely dangerous tool for agencies of the government, but it is the idea that the government may be entrapping or directly create terrorists that deserves a closer look. Almost nothing about this scenario was true. The cell phone wasnt connected to the toggle switch. The detonation cords werent wired to an explosive device. The blue drums werent filled with diesel-saturated fertilizer, but harmless grass seed. Mohamed wasnt a member of al Qaeda, CounterPunch reported in 2013. Of Somali origin, he was a troubled college dropout from Beaverton, Oregon, home of Nike. Youssef wasnt a member of al Qaeda. Hussein was not one of al Qaedas top bomb makers. Youssef and Hussein were not really arrested and neither was charged with being part of a terrorist plot. Youssef and Hussein were both federal agents. CounterPunch also noted (and court records show) that Mohamed Mohamud did not seek out the bomb plotters; they found him and seduced the young man into joining their conspiracy. In the end, it seems the infamous Portland Christmas Tree Bomb Plot was scripted by the FBI. However, its important to note that this practice has been happening for years. The FBIs involvement in domestic terror plots and the ever thinner line between catching and creating terrorists has not been completely lost on the major media outlets. Commenting on the situation, Rolling Stones Rick Perlstein wrote a piece entitledHow FBI Entrapment Is Inventing Terrorists and Letting Bad Guys Off the Hookquestioning the motives of the bureau. The New York Times even seemed to take a bold stance with David Shiplers piece,Terrorist Plots, Hatched by the F.B.I., which stated: This is legal, but is it legitimate? Without the F.B.I., would the culprits commit violence on their own? Is cultivating potential terrorists the best use of the manpower designed to find the real ones? Judging by their official answers, the F.B.I. and the Justice Department are sure of themselves too sure, perhaps. The article details the way entrapment efforts disguised as counter-terrorism usually start: with an individual making comments to friends, or through online postings, before being approached by an informant who encourages them to take their speech to the next level. Since 9/11 these types of stings have become commonplace so much so that in America today, merely discussing the possibility of violence with an informant can warrant an arrest. Recorded conversations show, contrary to claims by the Justice Department, that suspects are not always warned about the consequences of their actions and are, in fact, sometimes told by their informants to continue their efforts. Aninvestigation by Mother Jones and the Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeleyexamined prosecutions of 508 defendants in terrorism-related cases. The investigation revealed that the largest portion of the FBIs $3.3 billion budget is currently directed to counter-terrorism. It is that bloated budget which has allowed the FBI to entrap many other people who may or may not have ever been involved in committing crimes. Shortly after Mohamuds arrest there alsowas the case of the Cleveland 5. In October 2011, the FBI sent an unnamed informant, known as a confidential human source, or CHS, to infiltrate Occupy Cleveland in hopes of finding potential terrorists. The FBI sent in a career criminal convicted of at least six charges, including robbery, to investigate the Occupy group and potential criminal activity and threats involving anarchists who would be attending. The CHS found five men with anti-government sentiments and began encouraging them to consider various acts of terrorism. Under the encouragement of the CHS the group plotted to blow up a bridge in Ohio on April 30, 2012. The CHS reportedly took the men from discussing knocking down bank signs to discussing buying C4 explosives, promising them fake license plates and alibis to soothe their fears of being arrested and sent to Guantanamo. The CHS repeatedly pressed the men to consider buying the explosives in the weeks leading up to the arrest. One of the 5, Connor Stevens, was actuallyrecorded rejecting violent tactics, saying, Its actually harder to be non-violent than it is to do stuff like that. Eventually, though, the group was persuaded to buy explosives and upon attempting to make use of the dummy explosives, which had been provided by another FBI informant, they were arrested. The men received sentences ranging from six to 11 years. With the recent shootings and high tensions it is extremely important to be on guard and remain cautious. Despite a need for righteous anger we cannot allow ourselves to be swept up in the heat of the moment and stray from the strategy of peaceful non-compliance, resistance, and building of alternatives. If someone approaches you with a braindeadscheme to blow something up tell them to shove it and immediately remove yourself from the situation. We need a culture of security if we are going to overcome snitches and the prying eyes and ears of Big Brother. Derrick Broze is an investigative journalist and liberty activist.

In the ninties, US administration has supported Albanian and Bosnian Muslims in the Balkans, that was Yugoslavia. After the destruction of Yugoslavia, the US politics still do support the Muslims in Serbia where Kosovo was given to Albanian Muslims. Our Israeli controlled government is the worlds greatest Zio-Terrorist. What if this guy realizes what these undercover guys are doing and he murders them saying that he believed they were terroristswould he be considered a hero by the government for stopping terrorism? I doubt it. I imagine the whole scheme would be quickly shut down and swept under the rughim included. I still havent wrapped my mind around how someone can be charged with conspiracy, when there never was a conspiracy because the other part of it was a federal agent and not planning to do anything illegal, except maybe entrap the accused. Can a person conspire with themselves? The importation of the Somalis and others from the world of Islam gives our black-budget an unlimited number of false flag opportunities to choose from.

2	SPREAD THIS: Cops Shoot And Kill UNARMED White Male... Wheres The Outrage? For the past year, the Black Lives Matter movement has blamed cops and white people for the death of black men and women who have had run-ins with the police on a systematic flaw the allows officers to devalue the lives of black people. In the aftermath of cop-involved deaths of a black men in Louisiana and another in Minnesota this week, the media has been telling a story of injustice and racism. Of coursethere are several facts being left out of this narrative. And one is the reality that white people are killed by cops, too. At the end of last month, for instance, a teenage male was killed by police officers in Fresno, California after he resisted arrest. Of course, the media has no interest in sharing the story of this 19-year-old white victim. Fresno police have said they witnessed a truck speeding and tried to pull it over. Driver Dylan Noble led officers on a half-mile chase before deciding to pull into a parking lot. Police officers ordered him to show his hands, but Noble refused. Instead he made a conscious effort to conceal one hand behind his back, then in his waistband, as he exited the truck, and walked away from officers. Noble then commented that he hated his life and started walking toward officers, which is when he was shot four times. Noble was already on the ground near his truck when the last two shots were fired, 14 seconds apart. The only evidence of what happened in the case comes from a 26-second cellphone video, which authorities argue doesnt paint the whole picture. Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer explained that the officers confronted Noble for more than a minute but he repeatedly ignored dozens of their commands and mimicked the movements of someone armed with a gun. The officers, at that point, believed he was trying to retrieve a firearm and they fired, he said. 
1	It has now been 48 hours since an explosion ripped through the massive GoldenMade corn syrup factory in Leon, Iowa and sent over a million gallons of high fructose corn syrup spilling into the surrounding environment. Below is an hour-by-hour timeline of the events: HOUR 1: An industrial gas oven in the plant's food processing department explodes, ripping a 200-foot-wide hole in the exterior wall of the factory. Commercial-grade corn syrup begins to gush out of a damaged storage tank at a rate of 5,000 gallons per second. HOUR 2: The bodies of Goldenmade security guards Kim Parker and David Kawalek are found more than a quarter mile away from the factory, their lungs filled with the sweet syrup that was a major ingredient in dozens of their favorite foods. Rescue workers speculate their guard station was hit in the initial blast of corn syrup and swept away in a 100-foot-tall tidal wave of goo. HOUR 3: Emergency rescue crews attempt to use structural steel plates to repair the breach in the factory wall and staunch the flow of corn syrup still pouring from the factory but the plan is unsuccessful. HOUR 4: The National Guard arrives. Local residents are ordered to evacuate but many choose to stay to try to protect their homes or in hopes of eating the delicious syrup. -->--> HOUR 5: The evacuation process is delayed when the National Guard discovers their helicopters are grounded, their skids stuck in the thick syrup. HOUR 7: As last of the corn syrup trickles from the factory and night settles over Leon, officials estimate more than 20,000 acres of land is covered in standing corn syrup. HOUR 16: Upon sunrise area wildlife, which have been eating the corn syrup in massive quantities, are suffering side effects of sugar consumption. Hyperactive raccoons are witnessed nervously pacing back and forth, small fish are darting around in sugar-laden ponds at three to four times their normal speed, and irritable deer are seen biting and poking each other seemingly just to annoy one another. Thousands of animals die of heart attacks. HOUR 19: Animals are 'crashing' after their extended sugar high. Glassy-eyed, drooling bears are witnessed sitting against trees staring off into space and lethargic squirrels are found passed out in the middle of road. HOUR 30: Scientists test the Thompson River and find it has a 63% sugar content. Thomspon River bottled water instantly becomes the best selling bottled water in the region, with fans reporting it tastes much like Mountain Dew. HOUR 35: Residents are allowed back into their homes but are urged not to clean their possessions by licking them. Few heed the warning and hospitals see a second wave of emergency room visits due to tongue lacerations and complications resulting from the consumption of inedible objects. HOUR 39: A huge ant problem is reported across much of the Midwest. HOUR 40: President Obama pledges a million dollars in disaster funding, stating, 'The delicious syrup we Americans rely on for 70 percent of our caloric intake has today become our enemy.'

'Players' ankles start to get sore right around this time every year,' said Commissioner David Stern, who unwrapped a brand-new ankle and tested it out by bending it back and forth. 'Ah, looks like this one is going to Kobe Bryant. He's been calling me every day asking if his new ankle has come in.' Houston Rockets center Yao Ming was reportedly among the first to request some new ankles, but once again was turned away after the league explained that they don't make them in his size and color. 
3	American Borders Will Be ChangingWendy McElroy Changes in border policy are in the wind. On June 27th, 2013, the 1,300-page Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act passed the Senate and proceeded to the House of Representatives. Debate on the Act has focused on the path of citizenship being extended to the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in America. This is controversial because Republicans fear that the new Americans, and especially Hispanics, will vote Democrat in upcoming elections. Happily, the bill has stalled in the House. But one of the worst features of the Act has bipartisan support: namely, the ramping up of border security. (The security provisions were a cynical bribe to House Republicans by Senate Democrats who are far more interested in ramming the immigration policies through.) The Act allocates an astounding $46.3 billion for increased border control. It proposes to hire 20,000 additional border patrol agents, swelling their numbers from about 21,000 (in fiscal 2012) to about 40,000. The stated focus of the mega bucks and muscle is the US-Mexican border but the entire system would be even more militarized. Shutting People In The proposed doubling of might comes in the wake of the Transportation Security Administrations (TSAs) announcement of a dramatic expansion in the screening of airline passengers. Even before a flyer arrives, he will be profiled by the TSA based on his travel record, and personal documents such as employment information, property records, police files, tax data, and car registration. In past years, there have been several attempts to link the granting of passports to tax compliance. The latest one is H. R. 3146, which is now before the House. Sec. 4. is entitled Revocation or denial of passport and passport card in case of certain unpaid taxes. It reads, in part, If the Secretary receives certification by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue that any individual has a seriously delinquent tax debt in an amount in excess of $50,000, the Secretary shall transmit such certification to the Secretary of State for action with respect to denial, revocation, or limitation of a passport or passport card. It is only a matter of time before the right to travel is linked directly to a persons tax status. Shutting People Out And then there are those who could be shut out. The Expatriation Prevention by Abolishing Tax-Related Incentives for Offshore Tenancy Act or the Ex-PATRIOT Act came back from the dead in the above mentioned border and immigration bill. Again, the measure sought to ban certain expat Americans from legally returning to the US without receiving a waiver, this time from Homeland Security. Having failed as a standalone bill, the new Ex-PATRIOT Act was introduced as amendment S.A. 1609; it piggybacked on another amendment to the omnibus border and immigration act. Smuggling measures into unrelated legislation is an increasingly popular ploy. For example, the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), which devastated the ability of Americans to open bank accounts abroad, repeatedly failed as a standalone. It passed only by being tucked into to the 2010 Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act or HIRE. [Dollar Vigilante Note: Even more reason for you to click here to see how TDV can help you with an offshore account.] What did S.A. 1609 specify? It would have shut the border to certain expatriates who renounced their citizenship. That act was considered to be tax evasion on its face. Any ex-citizen with a net worth of $2 million or an average income of $148,000 or more over the last five years would have been presumed to be banned from the border. To establish a right to return, the expat would have presumably needed to open up his finances to scrutiny. S.A. 1609 did not make it into the final Act in the Senate, however. Democrats didnt want to risk the prospect of the bill being blue slipped, as the Republicans had threatened to do. Blue-slipping occurs when the House rejects a bill outright because it is unconstitutional. The bill is then placed into a blue envelope and simply returned to the Senate. The amendment was deemed unconstitutional because it reformed a tax law. In the opinion of many, this violates the Origination Clause by which all spending and appropriations must originate within the House, not within the Senate. Expats were saved by a technicality. What to Expect at the US Border? More questioning. More in-depth screening. More difficulty in traveling to and from the United States. The situation will grow steadily worse through 2014, when a compromise bill on immigration and border control is probable. With expanded authority and manpower, border control agents are also likely to start enforcing the fine print of the law. For example, it has been illegal for many years for an American to cross the border on anything but a US Passport; it does not matter if the person has dual citizenship and two passports. The American one must be used. 8 U.S.C. sec. 1185(b) states, Except as otherwise provided by the President and subject to such limitations and exceptions as the President may authorize and prescribe, it shall be unlawful for any citizen of the United States to depart from or enter, or attempt to depart from or enter, the United States unless he bears a valid United States passport. The law has largely been ignored but it provides an convenient reason to refuse admission, especially to expatriates. Whether you want to leave or to enter America, gridlock and technicalities will not preserve those options forever. Senator Jack Reed, a co-sponsor of Ex-PATRIOT, has asserted, American citizenship is a privilege. It is a privilege that he and his ilk want to grant at their discretion. It is one of the surest indications of a police state: the inability to cross a border.

Now, the corrupt leader is responsible for the cityand he is a prime example of what can go wrong in the world of politics. At a Memorial Day even intended to honor our fallen soldiers, the mayor decided to push an anti-gun agenda. This did not go over well with the local law enforcement community. Rahm Emmanuel is dead wrong, Sheriff David Clarke commented. He must have gone to the same school that President Barack Obama did Clarke expressed some very controversial opinions, some of which could even get him fired.

3	Poll Shows 80 Percent of Syrians Believe US Created ISISBy Joshua Krause The results of a new survey by ORB International and the Iraqi research company known as IIACSS, has found that quite a few Iraqis and Syrians are skeptical of the mainstream story of ISIS origins. They interviewed 1,234 adults in Iraq and 1,365 adults in Syria, many of whom are currently living in ISIS-controlled areas. They found that 81% of Syrians and 85% of Iraqis believe that ISIL is a foreign/American made group. The polls also provide further evidence that ISIS is not a genuine movement that reflects the attitudes of the average person. Roughly 70% of those polled disagreed with the idea of dividing their nations into autonomous regions. 21% of the Syrians thought that life was better now than what it was like under Assad, and only 22% said ISIS was a positive influence. Only 5% of Iraqis thought ISIS was a positive influence. So how does a movement that very few people actually support, become such an influential power in the region?

Vibes, Contributor This service will be completely legal and cannot be considered pirating because all of the artists will be consenting and will be well compensated for their work. Their compensation will be provided by advertisements on the website, and they will be receiving 90% of the revenue, a much better deal than any record label gives today. According to the interviews: The release of both of these projects will be coming in the fallout of the raid earlier this year. U.S. authorities are currently appealing a New Zealand court decision that Dotcom should be allowed to see the evidence on which the extradition hearing will be based. It seems only fair that he should have the right to face his accusers and see the evidence that they have against him. The extradition hearing has been delayed until March 2013. Dotcom has also been fighting back legally, accusing the record industry of lobbying the government for his arrest, illegal spying and wiretapping and other charges of police misconduct. In New Zealand Prime Minister John Key and the Inspector-General of Security and Intelligence, Justice Paul Neazor, have both acknowledged the spying on Mr Dotcom. Yesterday, Mr Meurant said he believed charges should be laid over the GCSBs actions. However, that would not happen, he said. A long-standing police culture of avoiding court scrutiny over serious matters had now become entrenched in other agencies, including the GCSB.

3	10 Signs That ISIS is a Scripted PsyopScripted Oddities Portray ISIS As James Bond of Terrorism Has the ISIS psyop calmed down a bit? Before it dies out lets examine some incredible ironies and oddities surrounding CIAs ISIS. After all, the ISIS psyop deserves a thorough analysis from every angle, so I thought it appropriate to outline for the sake of humanity. Hopefully, humanity can use the ISIS psyop as a tool for the final or further awakening. It may be wishful thinking, but it is worth exposing every crack and corner of this psyop and let government know that we are not going for it this time. I declare humanity too intuitive to buy into this psychological operation and hopefully Im right. So while the core TV-watching, mainstream media-believing community drinks the government Kool Aid, let us get started by pointing out several glaring observations regarding the ISIS psyop. Glancing ahead, the ISIS kids have knowledge of things that require you to have education, modern technical skills, a little bit of decency, structure, conformity to societal norms and somewhat transparent connection to the outside world. What are these things and what are some of the surreal oddities surrounding ISIS? Lets examine: Incredibly, despite being savages that only want to kill for apparently no specific burning reason other than that fact that you are not ISIS, ISIS has at least some kind of production department that can skillfully provide what could be considered Hollywood-style editing (of supposed beheading videos) with multiple camera angles, consistent daylight on their subjects and proper daylight mode video exposure. They clearly have the skills for setting up multiple cameras and using those precise angles for their production department. In order to put out these supposed beheading videos, they also had to make sure that the sounds were just right and that there was no shaking of the camera. Someone then had to take the various video angles and properly edit the footage so as to make it look professional. The editor, apparently a man of class and decency, then is careful not to show any actual action and blood. Savage killers who are ALSO respectful and classy about being too disturbing with their videos. Instead they courteously (but sloppily) cut from the early hand action of their British-sounding supposed lead man, to the post beheading amazingly clean shot of a head sitting on a corpse with the classic Photoshop drop shadows. In Hollywood style, reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock films, the editor essentially leaves the action to the viewers imagination. Even though this beheading movie created by ISIS is not being submitted for any film festivals, they carefully comply with techniques that would make this film fully acceptable into almost any gore film festival. To those who want to point out to viewers the amazing lack of blood during those first critical throat slices of James Foleys neck, sorry, exposing this lack of blood is in itself apparently too grotesque by YouTube standards and should you post such a video it will be conveniently removed. Like the editing software, the ISIS production team shows off their skills in Photoshop image editing software, which often requires an extended learning period, resources, and practice. Despite a few imperfections, the ISIS production department seems to know how to cut and splice out sections of images to produce the desired effect of disconnecting a head from the body. Even if obtaining and using the software is believable, lets remember were talking about savage terrorists that are supposedly inhumane. In other words, these are clinically, factually documented psychopaths and not your average person according to government legend. Lets keep this in mind (psychopaths) when speaking about ISIS. According to U.S. intelligence sources mouthpieces, ISIS has all the above including social media capabilities. Amazingly, these covered-face killers have unraveled the secret of how to outsmart every world power including the U.S. Empire with regard to every form of communication. They have stomped out the U.S. military, NSA, CIA, NATO, U.N. and the intelligence of Israel, U.K. and every other nation that surrounds them. You may think its not every day that a small group of young face-covered kids can outsmart the world, but this could be attributed to pure luck if you believe in the ISIS psyop. Just to be able to say that youve outsmarted the U.S. Empire 13 years after they accelerated their plans to rule the world outlined in The Project for the New American Century document titled Rebuilding Americas Defenses. According to the ISIS psyop, that accomplishment alone is worthy of historic recognition. Heres a group of young kids with covered faces who maintain Internet accounts without any past due balances, they have wide open social media accounts (Facebook? YouTube? Twitter?) that are also apparently well maintained. They must understand and be properly following the rules of these social media accounts. But wait, if they have social media accounts doesnt that mean that the social media providers are terrorists too? Unless these geniuses called ISIS are also fooling them as well. I suppose this would be realistic according to the government narrative since ISIS has apparently outsmarted everyone else. Okay, forget social media, how is ISIS able to log on to the Internet? Do they have their own ISIS hackers?? Who do they pay their Internet bill with? Without Internet arent they lost? No social media and no way of knowing what is going on right? I doubt they have analog TV in their convoys? Doesnt this present a communication problem? ISIS again quietly has overcome this problem in a flawless and mysterious manner. Amazingly this group of geniuses who have outsmarted the entire global intelligence community seem to have all the capabilities to put the U.S. Empires CIA and their globalist partner Israels Mossad to shame. ISIS has put on a clinic and has officially handed the U.S. and Israel their butts in the intelligence department. They not only formed right below their noses, they did it quickly, they figured out unanimously what their mission would be and all agreed on it. Football teams and all sports team for that matter throughout the world could learn from ISIS. ISIS apparently is teaching the world how a team works together. Imagine, the CIAs mainstream media would have us believe that ISIS is powerful and high in numbers. Really? How would you get that many people to agree on anything? Every NCAA coach would learn a lot from ISIS. Heres a group of young face-covered men who actually agree on everything. They even all agree not to attack Israel for no reason at all. How quickly ISIS rose to power and fame and how they operate in such unity should strike everyone as very odd, yet the ISIS psyop narrative continues without missing a beat in regards to these technicalities and finer points. Any way we slice it, the ISIS psyop narratives has a group of kids with hidden faces who have revolutionized the concept of the intelligence operation. They solved the CIA Mossad and NSA problems and now are laughing at the global intelligence community. They did this at a time, by the way, even as uncharged innocent prisoners sit in George W Bushs Guantanamo illegal prison for life. Can you imagine what is going on in the minds of the men in Guantanamo hearing about ISIS? Have you noticed that no one knows who ISIS is? What are their names? Why not snag up one or two of them and let the identities come out? No, not ONE member of ISIS is capturable or identified to the world. Its like they never existed. Not one wife, sister, brother, father, cousin, nephew, aunt, or uncle is speaking out. Apparently they never lived anywhere and never told their friends that they were going to join ISIS. Not one of the has a girlfriend or a spouse that would have spoken by now. No one has come out testifying that ISIS tried recruiting them. Oddly, we havent even heard of an angry former girlfriend speaking out about the initial call, no girlfriend activation system review, the recruiting effort or anything whatsoever. But without a powerful recruiting effort how did they recruit? Somehow they got around this one too. No one knows how. They simply came into being. Let that sink in. In the age of super advanced government biometric surveillance, tracking and spying, ISIS has one less problem than anyone in America. Unlike Americans who are constantly under the threat of being surveilled and spied on by the U.S. empire, ISIS lives free of the threat of technological surveillance of any kind. For some reason, their images, faces, voices and actions are not surveilled, tracked or recorded by those who can do it. Intelligence sources are powerless in the face of ISIS. All of the U.S.s NASA, NSA and USAF technology and equipment makes no difference when its ISIS. Despite all this, amazingly we hear nothing about the U.S. military or NSA trying to steal or decode the ISIS counter surveillance technology. Oddly, the topic of ISISs amazing counter-surveillance technological abilities is not talked about by anyone in the media or in Washington. Anyone who has served in the military knows that being a soldier makes you hungry. ISIS fighters definitely require lots of food and drinks that keep their energy up. You cant go around killing people just for not being part of ISIS without having plenty of energy and lots of water and drinks. Even in the military, working in the mess hall for some was a career. Why? Because someone has to do it. When I was in the military I remember the supply specialists; their full time job was tagging along on our field trips, making sure the unit had enough food and water. When necessary, the supply guys had to go to work to make sure everything went smooth. So where is ISIS getting their supplies? Whos feeding them with food and water? Do they also own the farms? Do they grow their own food? Amazingly, according to the ISIS psyop they do. Or perhaps their food and water suppliers are all part of a secret operation being hidden by the worlds new leader of counter intelligence, ISIS. And speaking of supplies, whos supplying their actual bullets? Ammunition? Guns without ammo are useless, so the question is where are they getting their bullets from? ISIS is a unique group from which almost all their goals fit in perfectly with the Bush Neocon plans to militarily control the world. I covered this topic in a recent article. Amazingly, ISIS now happens to hate Russia, too, just like the United States. What are the odds? Bush Neocons controlling Obama and the globalists benefit greatly from more, not less, terrorism. An end to the War on Terror would leave the U.S. without the planned conquering of Syria and Iran and re-conquering Iraq. Without a bogeymonster like ISIS to provide the pretext for invading these countries (in some cases, again) the plan has no legs. That ISIS fits in perfectly with the Bush Neocon plans is merely a coincidence according to the ISIS psyop narrative. Like Lucky Larry Silverstein taking the day off only on 9/11/01 to go to an appointment after never missing work for years if ever at all. Luck, the narrators of the ISIS psyop would have you believe, is something that just happens and should be accepted without question. But wait, ISIS is so close to Israel, they may attack Israel any given day. Given how fast they move, how well they operate together, their skillful blend of technology and brute force surely they could cause a historic massacre in Israel overnight and leave their trail of blood through large sections of Israel. Isnt that the stated goal of ISIS? IDF and Mossad have already failed to detect or stop ISIS in any way shape or form so I wouldnt expect them to provide much of a challenge for the ISIS powerhouse terror group. Given how brave they are, I would imagine they wouldnt have any problems getting the young men to volunteer for the big Israel attack. The big Israel attack would gain them all the PR and Marketing they need. Isnt that the goal when someone opens up a social media account? Hasnt ISIS demonstrated in the supposed beheading videos that they are serious, they want everyone to know who they are and they want certain things? An attack on Israel would get them everything they want; yet, for another lucky reason (luck of the U.S. and Israel) ISIS doesnt seem motivated about pulling off the big damage/low-cost attack on Israel. The irony gets even crazier here. According to U.S. politicians pushing the ISIS psyop narrative, ISIS is not only unwilling to attack Israel, which they could do in a day or two, they instead prefer to make plans to travel all the way to the other side of the world to attack the worlds most powerful Empire of all time. Yes, they would rather risk getting caught, imprisoned or killed traveling halfway around the world than to go for an easy quick strike at Israel. And, for good measure, as if to flaunt their super counter-intelligence capabilities, they are willing to announce ahead of time their travel plans to fly halfway across the world to attack American cities. So this previously incredible intelligence organization that outsmarted all of the worlds intelligence agencies at once, is now giving away their plans before they even happen. Doesnt that sound like a monumental change in intelligence strategy from such a stellar counter-intelligence skilled violent organization? Apparently in the new ISIS philosophy they now give away their plans ahead of time knowing that NOT giving away their plans worked pretty well during their secret and rapid rise to power under everyones noses. Keep in mind ISIS uses U.S. military gear which they accidentally found in Iraq. The military gear including tanks, artillery weapons and high-powered guns all just happened to work perfectly, and for good measure they apparently have all the ammunition to go with these weapons. But wait, you might say, how can ISIS transport huge military equipment to the U.S. for an attack? Not one U.S. intelligence source seems to know the answer to this. Apparently ISIS is not just lucky like lucky Larry, they also have a lot of money (that no one seems to know the origin of) and they are very versatile. The ISIS engineers are apparently working on brand new smaller, easier to hide weapons that are not detectable by airport scanners or surveillance cameras. Is ISIS starting to sound like James Bond yet? Amazingly, ISIS is unknown to anyone (as mentioned in number 6). Even if their database is never discovered, ISIS is skilled at knowing when to wear their masks. I mean, you wouldnt want to be caught without your mask right? And if you are caught without your mask and someone videotapes you, does that mean they kill you? No big deal? How does that work? One thing we know is that ISIS thus far (and they have been around allegedly a few years) has been perfect at hiding their faces. Not ONE video or photo exists where one member of ISIS showed his face. Amazing? Yes, for a group that has regular social media and Internet access. Where are the images of these men that belong to ISIS and why hide your face anyway? This amazing stroke of luck of not having even one member show his face or having his identity known to the world is an amazing accomplishment given all the technology and media available as mentioned before. With this ongoing face-hiding playing out to perfection, once again ISIS is schooling the world on how to be a criminal in the face of the global police state and get away with it. Do you realize someone you know or someone they know could be part of ISIS without anyone knowing? Is ISIS really Blackwater? Academi? You know, the U.S.s private mercenary organization that likes to change its name all the time. Is this the reason why ISIS covers their face? Even James Bond could not successfully hide his identity for very long and hes just one person. Remember, were talking about supposedly thousands if not tens of thousands of young men working as one without one of these men making a mistake. Try to imagine how ridiculous this really sounds. Ultimately, as long as secrecy of the faces of ISIS is maintained, we really dont know for sure just who ISIS really is. We know what the federal government would have us think, but humanity as a whole is now moving past this type of solution for procurement of legitimate information. Yes, according to government mouthpiece experts like Colonel Anthony Shaffer and others, we (the U.S. intelligence sources) know a lot about ISIS. They have money, they are organized, etc. But think about it, how come they know so much about ISISs financial abilities but dont know who funded them or what bank accounts they currently have?? U.S. and its allies intelligence only know enough to scare you with ISIS but not enough to act to actually stop their banking activity. That would actually stop ISIS dead in its tracks wouldnt it? But nope, we dont want ISIS to go away too quickly. The script needs to play out doesnt it? This script is indeed playing out, and America and the world is the audience watching the show. Those that are awakened stand in dismay at the level of propaganda we are seeing and are wondering what ridiculous narrative will the globalists spin next to get into Syria and continue into Iran? Others who wanted to believe mainstream media news but perhaps are intuitive enough to not be fooled yet again are scratching their head. We call that The WTF Moment. While sadly others have seen this script before and for some reason they kind of liked it before. Perhaps they love the post-9/11 feeling of believing government and looking to it for protection from terrorism. Perhaps they love the police state and maybe they are comfortable being surveilled 24/7. Perhaps they know that the only way to maintain their sanity and their lifelong and hard-fought-for paradigm is to simply believe whatever mainstream media news says. This third group will welcome the CIA script. It is this group (those that welcome the mainstream media script) that makes this next (information war) chess game between humanitys awakened segment and humanitys governing segment very interesting. This third (asleep) segment of humanity is playing out the last bit of fantasy left in their personal paradigms. Some of them would probably rather die than face reality. Some of them think they are saving themselves from reality. Reality, with some of these people, thus takes on the role of sin in that they want to save themselves from this consciousness. For others the same reality takes on a role of insanity. The goal thus becomes to preserve their consciousness from this insanity or tin foil, crazy, lunatic, conspiracy theories- you get the picture. That is how the ISIS psyop divides itself upon humanity. Recognizing the three primary forms of consciousness will help us arrive at a consensus on how to move forward to fix this problem. Lets hope that we (humanity) can figure it out quickly this time and with the fewest amount of lost lives. Let us pray for humanity and for the survival of the human race. Lets remember that all those logos, flags, ideologies, and concepts of governments are all just artificial agreements. Lets all try to see the biggest picture, which is that we are all part of a species (humanity) which is actually trying to kill itself off. Lets not let tiny individual samples of our own species ruin it for all of us. Theyve tried everything they have, so they have to start repeating their tactics. They are making the script easier for us all. Lets take advantage of this weakness they are showing. The weakness of lack of creativity. This lack of creativity is glaringly obvious to all of us now. The globalists are not very creative and they like to repeat their tactics. This is why history is a great tool to expose the globalists and their new world order. Its been said and I declare again that those who ignore the lessons of history are bound to repeat it; never has this been more true than today. Heres a word of caution to those who still believe governments ongoing War on Terror. Look at the past, look at attacks of 9/11/01, dont you agree it didnt work out very well for us? And on top of that they took all our liberties away. This is a failed government. Are you going to trust them at a game where you are always the loser? Ask yourself, how did their phony war on terror improve your life last time? Why would this next round of ISIS be expected to be any different? Dont you want to thrive while you are alive? Then let go of government-engineered lies and narratives and see the greater agenda now for yourself. Then share this message with someone. 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. Great points, Bernie. The entire psy op requires endless double think, starting with the notion that it was reasonable for Americans to arm, train, fund, and supply moderate terrorists in Syria or that large caches of weapons would be inadvertently left lying around in Iraq and Libya. As for Syria and Iran, Zero Hedge reported in February that the US and Israel were quietly providing Iran with military arms and support which in turn was arming Syria. This is a page out of Antony Suttons research decades ago when western based international bankers and their minions were discovered to be providing military, financial, and other logistic support to Hitler and the Russian communists rise to power. This same cabal also provided military parts to the Soviets who were in turn arming the Vietnamese engaged in warfare with American soldiers. Directly or indirectly, TPTB always fund and arm both sides. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-02-23/us-israel-providing-military-supports-and-parts-iran-which-turn-arming-syria The creation of ISIS and the admitted ACTIVE collaboration in this process by at least 9 nations, both middle eastern and western, goes far beyond the power of the American neoconservative ideologue wing of the fake US political system. We should consider the situation that Iran, Syria, and Russia have acquiesced to the plan for a NWO and the completion of the Greater Middle East project. The new cold war hype and other saber rattling would then be more geopolitical theater to hoodwink us all into going along with a global police state. They seem to be getting bolder in their propaganda. I guess they figure if most of the Sheeple bought into the official 9/11 story, and in Benghazi is just a what difference does it make moment, then that means were suckers for anything. And thats apparently true with ISIS as a recent poll showed the majority of Americans is in favor of military action in Syria (against ISIS, whoever they might be. At maxkeiser,com, was a very *interesting* article called your parents really F you up and it was about a Brit that had lead a hard life. Now, he supplies movie props to the industry, specifically prop weaponry. ISIS IS USA. ISIS is Mossad. The U.S. is Israels puppet. You got that right, buddy. ISIS = Israeli Secret Intelligence Syndicate; the USSA is Israels bitch. YeahI meanbefore the USA planned thisthe Muzzies NEVER exhibited ANY form of hostility toward non-Muslimsright? To think Muslims are extreme is ludicrous! ISIS mostly kills other muslims. Only a few Westerners have died. Clue? Really man? Come on, i think this article has done a very good job showing that isis is a fraud. However, there is no doubt Hamas is a very real terrorist group whose mission is to eradicate Israel and its supporters Dig this , the U.S. has had a Surveillance System embedded in IRAQ since they invaded and anybody w/ half a brain can figure out if U.S. phones are tapped SO ARE Iraqis , in addition to drones flying all over for years , Satellites above means they tracked ISSI every step , who where in mostly Toyota Hilux Trucks courtesy of USAID and Nobody saw them earlier on ? IMPOSSIBLE ,TOTALLY IMPOSSIABLE . tHEN throw in admission of managing ISSI shows this is all a staged Death Cult gone Wild . Man you are totally bonkers. Meaning you have nothing specific you can point out incorrect, just lobbing ad hominims. So you can understand: you have nothing. There is so much news about ISIS and this writer seems to think ISIS is a joke. Tonight I watched an Iraqi woman who was part of a village where 100 men were killed, and women taken as sex slaves for money or bogus marriages. The sad thing is that ISIS is only doing what the Koran tells followers to do to non-compliant people to their version of Islam says. Utube: look at Top Ten Quran Verses for Understanding ISIS. If you folks have the intellectual nerve to hear exactly what the Quran says in it. Can you tell me why every single Muslim authority condemns ISIS? Ya, lets hear exactly what the Quran says without cherry picking, partial quoting and flat out fabricating it. Quran 5:32 The Quran sanctifies all life, Period! With your own description ISIS is clearly not a Muslim outfit. Read a book, get a clue. Theres enough Islamaphobia in this world because people believe whatever ignorance crosses their path. Isnt this the old No True Muslim theory? The Koran is so full of contradictions, you are the one who is cherry picking. DId you look up the top ten Quran verses for understanding ISIS? The Koran says there is no son of ALLAH, yet the satanic verses that muslims issued a death sentence for Salman Rushdie for is this: that Allah has 3 daughters. The Koran is so full of BS that it does not qualify as a bona fide religion,it is a crime syndicate posing as a religion, as in a wolf in sheeps clothing, as in the False Prophet. There is not a single contradiction in the Quran. http://quran.com/4/82 What about Allah has no son, yet he has 3 daughters, you ignored that one? What about if you kill one man, you killed the human race, yet you should smite the neck of the unbelievers (behead the infidels) and decapitate the hands? There is no compulsion under Islam, yet the history of the Muslims is convert or die, in effect. Why is it most all of the horrific attacks in the world and the wars are from Muslims? Why is it the stated goal of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood is to take over all the governments of the world and control them under the brutal Shariah Law? As i said, learn Arabic, then show me a single contradiction. Not English where 6 translations are accepted of English alone. Were talking about the Quran here, not the bible where there are 5000+ versions. There is only one Quran. Learn Arabic, then point out a single contradiction. you know, this sounds like a secret way to contradict any criticism of Islam, and is suspect, you are saying, I hold the real truth, you dont , I dont buy this for a second.You have ignored the blatant contradictions already. lol, secret way? Buddy, the Quran is written in ARABIC. If you desire to disprove it then at least be able to actually READ IT. Believe what you like, it changes nothing. He makes a valid point; you are relying on translations and interpretations, not the original text. Dont argue with them. Save your breath youll need it to run them through. They know full well what their religion is about they all practice Taqiyya and Kitman (Lie). Yet he admits to never reading the Bible but yet calls it rubbish. He ends nicely though I only hope he does what he wrote in Arabic. Islam, like Christianity, has its fundamentalists. Remember Timothy McVeigh and his band of Christian militia men? Fundamentalism is a brain disease caused by absolute certainty in your beliefs despite lack of any evidence they are true; this causes the fundamentalist, whatever the certainty is about, to create a world of us, who know the truth, and the rest of the world, which is brainwashed. If you KNOW you are right, you can do anything, you can start wars, bomb people, behead people, burn them at the stake. selfnewspost discussions often promote such fundamentalism, based on the us vs them sense of superiority and certainty that EVERYTHING that is happening is not the result of screw ups and bad policies but directed like a movie. I will stick with my uncertainties, my tentative conclusions, and my resistance to believing that everything is scripted. It is, but then things happen to totally go off script. Yeah tonight you watchedwhat? The criminally insane Zionist controlled propaganda television network? Like thats a credible source. But YOU believe ANYTHING coming from that CIA developed mind control box. Tens of millions of suckers like you are the problem in AmeriKa. You are what I call an enabler for US government terrorists. You believe what you see on TV without question and dont even try to get at the truth, which is NOT on TV. CBS news. Maybe you have been enabled by all the anti Semite unbalanced stuff. If the media is Zionist, why are the reports usually showing the suffering of the Palestinians, especially on liberal outlets, yet ignoring the Israeli side that shows the efforts made to try to avoid killing civilians? Why is the facts that if Hamas would not dig terrorist tunnels for kidnapping and bombing purposes and deliberately place civilians in the way of their bomb launchers the Palestinians would not be harmed? Why is there little or no coverage of the suffering of the Israelis every time when their people are bombed? People forget the history of the people who (Fidel Castro said) suffered more than any other group, who lost millions, were given this land by the UN , deservedly so. What many Muslim sympathizers do not understand is that this is not a war for the Palestinian people. This is a war for the dominance and supremacy of the brutal Islamic religion, they want to proclaim that the own the land of the Jewish God. They want to say they are dominant over Christianity and Judaism, that is why they built their mosque in Jerusalem over the Jewish Temple. The modern fools may be the mostly liberal sympathizers who buy into the lie of the Palestinian victims. These Islamists are victimizing their people for the cause of world domination. And youre chubby. Hey farang, did you look up the top ten verses, or are you afraid of the truth about islam? Look up in Utube, top ten Quran verses for understanding ISIS, this is an analysis that quotes directly from the Koran, nothing slanderous or incorrect. Yeah the obvious point of all the supposed ISIS people always covering their faces is the tell right there. Theyre all mercenaries. Do you see the pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine covering their faces? Generally no, because theyre actually fighting for a real cause they believe in, but in these ISIS videos, everyone hides their identity. So what is the all powerful ISIS afraid of? Let me guess, they want to keep their day jobs? I also find it pretty ridiculous that ISIS has magically acquired all of this military hardware like humvees, artillery, tanks, etc Remember the Iraq Highway of Death but apparently the ISIS vehicles are completely invisible, and impervious to identification and attack. I guess the AC130 gunships are off looking for Puff the Magic Dragon somewhere. Most of these fighters are foreign citizens And they have to cover their faces to avoid identification so that they can return to their countries. But there are a lot of photographs of ISIS fighters who are from Syria or Iraq and who do not cover their faces since they have nowhere to return to. You got it: covered facesbut you left out they make sure to yell, ALLAHU AKBAR or GOD IS GREAT so that, even though they dont want you to know who they are because they wear masks, they WANT you to THINK you know who they are. 11. Fashion designer and stylist.. One tidbit which convinced me the US gov was backing this bunch was all the equipment abandoned by the US which should have been destroyed, like tanks, helicopters, artillery. U.S. military doctrine clearly calls for the destruction of military The military equipment was not abandoned by the US, it was abandoned by the Iraqi military. Ben Swann on Washingtons Blog says the same. The We all know terrorist put their prisoners in orange (like U.S. does) and wear all black clothing in the middle of a very hot desert! And they have real police style hand cuffs, not camel hair rope. Someone else said they used a Hollywood movie knife with holes in it for fake blood to drip down. They are all The Fonejacker! @ Bernie Suarez. Easy for you to say. Your severed head is not hanging from a pole. You assume that those guys are actually dead. Where are the bodies? Our hostage body was returned after a failed rescue mission. They out there. Just because you havent seen a body doesnt make the horror any less real. I was so sad to learn of the young Journalist who was beheaded. I wondered at the beautifully filmed video. I only saw the beginning but I noticed how it was eerily beautifully filmed. The young man kneeling in the beautiful light, his executioner standing behind him, both their clothing and hair blowing gently in the windit looked like a movie. you didnt know before? lol Amazing. One of the greatest article I have ever read online. Thank You. 11. Also, for some reason, they never want to attack any Oil Fields owned by BP and SHELL. Conveniently, they are leaving out all the Oil Fields in Iraq LOL Well done Bernie. Very well done. These murderous clowns at CIAMossad who cook up all of this phony terrorism are getting sloppy. When it came out that these new bandits were being found operating in Syria, and the next call from John McInsane was to bomb Syria or even work with Assad to get ISISthat was the give away moment. Problembeheadings of amerikans. Reactionhorror, theyre coming to amerika next. Solutionbomb Syria. I dont buy this argument. If their skills were as advanced as the author proclaims, everyone and their dog would not be calling them fakes. I do believe, based not on pathetic arguments but evidence, that ISIS is an outgrowth of the US/CIA support for the anti-govt terrorists in Syria, but not as a scripted event (there is plenty of real gore to watch if you have the stomach) so much as blowback, another bungled proxy war flawed by the instigators (DOD/CIA/ME monarchies) believing their own propaganda. Just as in the other wars, the US has lost control. They HAD a script but it was based on lies they themselves believed, and the whole thing has just gotten out of hand. This is not a scripted event but evidence of a failed policy based on lies, just like every other military operation in the past 50 years. ISIS is not an illusion; it is a real army created as a result of the illusions that the US (and allies) have spreads. US neo-con foreign policy (based on American exceptionalism; ie hubris and arrogance) creates Frankensteins, wherever it asserts itself. Today, the US is supporting a fascist government in Ukraine and fighting against a group in Iraq which is using US weapons. In 1799, Goya produced an etching, which he titled The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters. Another version of the title is: Fantasy abandoned by reason produces impossible monsters I think this explains ISIS much more than the concept that its emergence was scripted. It is more correct to say, as Seymour Hersh did in his now classic article Redirection from 2007 that: 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. The bolstering of Sunni extremists, he points out, is a by-product of the script, an unintended but clearly predictable result of US shifting support to those it had been fighting, the Sunni enemy. The sarcasm was pretty heavy in this article. I dont think you were supposed to buy it. Author is just pointing out everything the sheep routinely fall for. A good tree bears good fruit, a bad tree bears bad fruit, You will know them by their fruits. Jesus. You act like this zionist group speaks for Islam there Lance. How can a group be Islamic when no Islamic authority recognizes it? How can it be Islamic when Islamic authority literally condemns it? They dont ignore it, they condemn it. They have eyes to see but do not see Denying their Islamicism doesnt make them any less Islamic. Hence the term extremist. Good article, a pity Dale Ruff is way off target. We know the US was funding supplying arms to the Syrian Rebels; the Rebels who couldnt oust Assad in 31/2 years, even backed by all of Al Qaeda, Al Nusra, the FSA Bombing raids from Israel. Yet 800 of them drive into Iraq pick up $350 Million worth of US hardware which had just been dropped off two days before by the US Military??? Undetected from 24 satelite passes a day, dozens of drones spy planes??? 800 ISIS were able to pick up all that hardware $257 Million from the Mosul reserve bank, When 30,000 Iraqi Troops guarded Mosul??? 30,000 against 800 inept losers who cant even carry out a decent Gas Attack as a False Flag without being caught out by the UN Weapons inspectors??? Instead the Rebels became ISIS, the US dropped off the weapons special delivery now because the Iraqi Reserve banks are, BIS controlled banks, the US knew where the money was Bobs your uncle, two problems solved for the price of one: ISIS is the NEW excuse to Bomb Invade Syria and ISIS/the rebels have had their $500 Million top up. Spare me your fake pity. I mostly agree with you, so pity yourself. ISIL is result of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the support given to anti-govt forces in Syria. The government is lying, covering up many things. But I dont think the way things are evolving is the way the script was written. The alternative explanation to scripted is a flawed foreign policy which consistently creates conditions opposite to its goals. People whose assumptions and policies are based on power overestimate their ability to guide an intervention after it has taken place.we should not give them credit for being able to manage events. Ricks Fiasco: the origins of the War In Iraq documents how the poor planning and comprehension of the main architects of US policy in Iraq constantly led to mistakes, unintended consequences, and results the opposite of the stated goal. The failure of execution was based on the lack of a coherent foreign policy or strategy. Hubris, substituting hope for hard analysis and realism, and arrogance all led to the fiasco that is US/Iraqi relations. I do not give this failed policy and failed execution can be reconciled with a system of management which puts the US. with its script, in control.. The US has lost control in each of these wars it starts. I do not accept that it is in control of events in Aghanistan, Libya, Syria, or Ukraine at all. The US has lost control.reality didnt follow the script they had (bomb them; they love us: happy ending). It is the failure of the script, not its perfect execution, which we see happening in Iraq and other nations. ISIS is not in the script, even tho it was the US that created ISIS. The Globa. War on Terror is a fraud, but not because the script is working but because it isnt. On the other hand, if the goal all along is just escalate the violence, create division, fuck things up and create destabilized, failed nations, neo-con policy has worked brilliantly. The reality is that many competing factions try to control the narrative, even with the President administration, it is war. The Script is when all the complaint corporate media distill the intergovernmental warfare into a shared narrative, or script. That Script, the one told to the public, is also failiig, and the US, as Chomsky pointed out, is a failed state, maintaining power only by created other failed states too weakened from internal strife to challenge US hegemony. So is it a failed policy or was the goal chaos and death all along? I call that the troublemaker theory. The CFR mafia might try and control things but it doesnt really care because as long as there is trouble they stay in power. See the networks behind all the experts who show up as commentators, many of them actually caused the problems. Someone referenced Antony Sutton, hes the gold standard of historians because he stands alone in his assessment of the Wall St. connections to both Hitler and Stalin. (and FDR). Lately we have John Loftus and his book Americas Nazi Secret which has previously unpublished facts about the secret dealings of the war criminal Dulles brothers who were at the center of U.S. foreign policy from FDR to JFK. The government creates these monsters (ISIS) unleashes them on Americans and sadly, the American people will clamor to D.C. to protect them from the horrible ISIS that they secretly created themselves. And, Americans will fall for this worn out trick over and over. Magnificent article. Thanks. Very intelligent writing, I laughed, enjoyed, and admired the writer. I hope it reaches many people and bring them to their senses. When I first heard the news about ISIS, almost five of the above signs hit my mind and asked myself, what criminals are up to this time?! Now, their plan is being revealed as they play the script. Thank you Mr. Suarez, excellent job! Very intelligent writing, I laughed, enjoyed, and admired the writer. I hope it reaches many people and bring them to their senses. When I first heard the news about ISIS, almost five of the above signs hit my mind and asked myself, what criminals are up to this time?! Now, their plan is gradually being Its almost as amazing as Bin Laden and twelve guys and a laptop operation from a cave pulling off 911. Spot on. All too convenient and the timing is perfect, just like the way Putin has become the new bogeyman after the second death of Osama Bin Laden. The horsepoo coming from the White House is getting smellier by the day, which is a reaction to the growing public awareness of their crimes against humanity. But then these people (bankers, politicians, hawks, etc) do not display human qualities such as empathy and kindness, which begs the question who exactly are they working for and what exactly is the end goal? The endless wars are a symptom of the fake history and reality in which we live in. A reality that is on borrowed time and they know it. ISIS or whatever they are called today is a desperate attempt at energy securitry of parts of the middle east, as well as a strategy to maintain Israels dominance in the region. We heard the same narrative about Saddam having the capability to launch strikes against the west when in REALITY he had no such capacity. They (ISIS) are nearly as fake as Blairs and Obamas smiles. The Great American dreamers dream on regardless. False Flag Ebola Suicide Bomber from ISIS, The Movie Lately we have been seeing lots and lots of emerging scenarios, which could justify war, and all running at the same time. We China is feeling her oats as a rising superpower, and it is how China has self identified for the past 3000 years. Really, really in our faces are those beheadings and mass slaughters by ISIS/ISIL/IS. Those The Saudi King said they would be attacking Europe in a month, and the US in 2 months. Where did these guys come from, nightmare world? They are like al Qaeda with a Freddy Kruger mask! Then Imagine you are Dick Cheney. Ok, ok, thats a bit too much to ask. I have an idea for a made-for-TV-movie thats an edge-of-your-seat, suspense thriller-diller. Heres the story line: ISIS Ricin doesnt go very far, and would only kill a few people, like in that Japanese subway thing. ISIS Hey, Ebola virus would work, and somebody could volunteer to be an Ebola suicide bomber, or even not volunteer You Some Other Like Lee Oswald, these guys can just think they are establishing cover identities. Before they fly to Great Satan Land, they need a protective injection, a vaccination IV. The trick is, that it is pooled plasma from Liberian Ebola patients, frozen and flown over. By They would have infected the folks most likely to further infect others. These guys could even be shot in an alley when they get sick, before all the bleeding. That would get some infection going in the coroners office. Ebola would never be suspected. Who is the first to figure it out? Who breaks it to the American people? What emergency measures have to be taken, to assure the continuity of government? Who must be brought to justice for this unbelievably heinous perfidy? Who gets nuked? Who Where do we put everybody who they live with? Nothing must stand in the way of that mission! Where do treatments come from to protect us, and those masks, and rubber gloves, and goggles, and isolation suits? Anyway, its just an idea for a made-for-TV-movie, but who could turn it off once they got into it, huh? It pulls everything together, doesnt it? Yeah, thats the first thing that came to my mind So easy send a team out, find a victim, and drain the blood and mail it to a target team, or two. After that, separate and wait. If anyone on the collection team gets sick, go to an embassy and pick a fistfight with a guard. Its a suicide mission, right? At the target end, its still a suicide mission, but no need to target the junkies. Lots of easier and more effective ways to do it. If anyone on the distribution team gets sick walk into a police station and pick a fight. Its a suicide mission, right? Or, just go White Plague and smear the blood on money and mail that to random people in target countries. Yeah, this is a plot in an old story. Old news, as they say. You didnt come up with it. Oddly enough, it hasnt happened, yet. I mean, its so bloody obvious and so easy to do, we should be seeing the results by now. But, nothing I dont think Im much of a conspiracy theorist, but these so-called terrorists sure seem stupid to me. I can think of dozens of ways to cause some real terror but it never seems to happen. So, does all that NSA snooping shut them down, is it that you have to be stupid to be drawn to terrorism, or is it a staged show? I dont know I guess thats why Im surfing towards sites like this these days. But, I do tend to avoid describing how Id go about a terrorist attack, just in case. But, you started it, so, whatever I sent my Congressman a letter about my concerns for a biological warfare attack on the US, via Ebola virus. Great article. It really does point out the glaring fact that this organisation is extremely well funded, equipped and is amazingly media savvy. It has the feel of a well played advertising campaign. How to stop them? Not by bombing them. Cut their funding and put a stop to their media access. Let Assads forces kick them out of Syria, they are very good at it. Hmmm didnt President Obama recently authorise 500 million USD for the FSA (Fake Syrian Army)? (The moderates). Who do they work with? Ahh, yes, Al Nusra ISIL ISIS How unfortunate that american money goes to the same organisation that is now thretening apparently, the entire universe. Or maybe its all coincidence. Coincidence Theorist? Obama had no business in LIbya and certainly no business in Syria,it is totally wrong to send any more money to moderate opposition groups after what has happened, yet it is still going on? Its not that I cant believe that this ISIS thing as a conspiracy. I mean, I dont believe it isbut NOT because the concept is impossible. The reason I cant get on board with the tinfoil helmet gang is because you guys claim that EVERY event that EVER happens on Earth is some kind of false-flag and or conspiracy. Did it ever occur to you guys that SOMETHING thats happened SOMEWHERE actually happened without a conspiracy? The way YOU read itthere would NEVER be any problems or conflict on Earth at allif it werent for conspiracies. SOMETIMES things actually just happen! They develop from cause and effect. They are actually the truth. No question: it is a Oh, sure, a few Americans You see, Americans have ISIS is not a REBEL force, but a COUNTER-REVOLUTIONARY one. In other words, any nation not following the dictates of Israel or the USA will be attacked by ISIS, justifying some kind of humanitarian military action to defend said nation from ISIS. If Obama goes ahead and bombs inside Syria to supposedly attack ISIS, this would be an amazing about face from recent years and policies where the USA SUPPORTED these terrorist groups. It is not an about face but a Trojan Horse where once inside Syria, USA and NATO can bomb anything it pleases and justify and collateral damage by using the same tactic Israel uses to slaughter defenseless innocent civilians in Gaza- the enemy is set up among the civilian population and uses civilian infrastructure to carry out attacks. Americans who now support USA bombing in Stria are clueless about how ISIS is actually a terrorist tool that Israel and the USA can use to justify military actions. These Americans still dont get it after many years of the USA actually recruiting foreigners to do counterrevolutionary fighting for them. !960s- CIA recruits, forms, trains and funds anti-Castro mercenaries If there ever was a false flag, then the one that ISIS waves is certainly one! FANTASTIC article, Bernie. The final paragraph is sublime. What he said. Hmmmm Great piece. Hits the nail squarely on the head. Its like living in a hologram/matrix, where a real and tangible event has been written, cast and put in play action, as to metaphorically imitate and play out for mainstream viewing (so in earth/matrix as it is in the real-heavens) Such a matrix-script can pop into viewing with no real history yet its outcome is sealed in destiny. This story ends with Then share this message with someone. Very good idea. Copy and paste this and send it to your local television stations news department. Of course it will go unreported but I believe its valuable to let these news operatives know their despicable lies are coming to and end very fast. They need to know their credibility is shot and its in their best interests to report the truth or face the POSSIBILITY OF FORCEFUL AND LETHAL consequences from citizen armies, which will be far worse than losing their government issued broadcast license. Lethal consequences means you advocate killing media operatives with whom you disagree. That will lead to an endless cycle of lethal consequences. Citizen armies are just armed thugs. We need a non-violent movement on a massive scale which opposes violence and armed responses. Violence only begets more violence, and while that may be a satisfying fantasy, it is also a dangerous illusion. Wow! Im impressed. You actually advocate non-violence. This is good to see. Think we as the common people ought to drop out and tune in as it were. We drop out of the big game the world leaders have for us. War, war, war and more war! The common people do not want war. We also know the idea of scarcity is a farce at best. The idea of money is fraud too. We know this instictively. Yet we continue to consent to their game. If the leaders want to fight, let the leaders fight. We can go on living and letting live, we dont really need the leaders. All the leaders want is to fight anyway, fine let them fight. We tune in to living and letting live. We create tribal council groups, of thirteen elders in a town or village. If youre in a metro area, you may consider setting up a city block as a village. Choose thirteen elders with one as the chief. If you have problems, voice them to the council. The council can then vote on solutions, implement means to solve problems. A chief ensures there will always be a tie breaker vote, or the chief can offer a different solution. Eschew money when doing this. Trade equal value for equal value, honor contracts. For example if I say Ill paint your fence or house in exchange for a few bushels of your fabulous cabbage, I must do that, you must give the cabbage once its done. People been doing this since forever ago. Why bother using money when it brings nothing but evil to fruit? If contracts are broken, you go before the council / jury. You have a civil trial and settle the matter amicable and without agression. The council could also set up a civil court system to handle this, again with thirteen members, twelve jurors and a judge. Also let people volunteer. Volunteering is a very good system of getting work done. If someone feels they are unjustly treated at a volunteer work site, they simply move to another work site. I could volunteer to help bake bread two hours a week, help build roads for four hours a week, build a school for four hours a week. Other people will volunteer as well, so the labor gets done. Everyone helps to benefit everyone. That may seem to be collectivism. In some regards it may be, yet it retains individualism. You can agree or not agree. You consent or not. It is the system we have now, except without all the evil, all the bull dung. Honestly, just look at the at will employment situation, same as volunteering except with money as the exchange of value. If I help build houses, please ensure I have a house. If I help garden, ensure I have food. If i help as an E.M.T, ensure someone helps me out of disaster. Each village could mandate each person of age agrees to work a minimum of say 30 hours a week. That work can be whatever, in any combination. You get free food, clothes, medical, education. But you owe the village 30 hours a week, you work for your tribe, your tribe works for you. Tribes can then trade and barter with other tribes. We got extra beans this year, yall got any squash? Or a tribe could volunteer labor. Well help build you a road if you can help us figure out or energy problem. And the common people have done this forever. Leaders want to fight, obviously for no logical reason. Fine, let them, the leaders, fight. We can continue on our merry way without them. Were all human beings, one race, one being. We dont need divisions when none truly exist. State can go enjoy its fight. Well keep living and letting live. Mr. Suarez brings up some interesting points but mostly I call major Russia and China were getting all the good oil contracts. Syria invasion was a no-go. So then came ISIS, how convenient, so the Rothschild cartel demon lords could carry out their war-crimes without so much democratic obstacles. I$I$ Interesting article. Thank you, Im going to discount the high production standards. Thats just people-skills theses days and its not unreasonable to have skilled people available. The tools are basically free. The mask thing there are pictures around of some that go unmasked. It also seems to be the in-thing for Ukraine rebels, etc so Im not going to make a huge deal about it. Suspicious, but not conclusive. The lack of amateur content being uploaded that makes me wonder. Even the US military has issues with this. Sure, the threat of immediate summary execution might dampen down the lower ranks, but some of them have got to be stupid enough to do it anyway. After all, we live in a twitter world these days. Young people seem unable to keep themselves private. The ability to move free from air attack its not inconceivable that the Iraqi air-force wasnt capable of interdicting movement, but the US is clearly doing that now. There are clear signs that IS is now having trouble moving. Intel, Ive not decided on. It seems very odd to me that in Ukraine, they seem to have the ability to distribute incriminating recorded voice communications of all the Rebel commanders, when it suits them. But, at the same time, they keep getting surprised by the Rebels. It seems very odd. In Iraq/Syria, I would assume the same level of surveillance is in place, if not more. It is possible that they are monitoring but not disrupting in order to keep monitoring. But, conversely, shutting down propaganda operations makes sense, but not when they benefit the monitoring side. After all, IS seems to be out-performing all the nauseatingly-standard evil propaganda that is normally proffered in these situations. Why shut them up? But, what gets me are the logistics. Okay, I can accept, for a while, that a fighting force can resupply through conquest. You can maraud your way through areas and live off the land, as it were. But, they are past that, and theres more than just the fighting force to consider. How many millions of people live in Iraqs Anbar province? What are they eating? Where are their kids diapers coming from? The fuel for their cars? Medicine? Are the regular civilian supply lines still open? If so, why? Whos trading with them? Whos buying the oil they are pumping out of the ground? I mean, I dont care how nasty an occupying force is, how much they use old-school terror to enforce their rule. If my kid was starving and I had a gun, somebody would die. Multiply that by a million times and it becomes clear that Anbar province is being supplied. How? Or, more appropriately, why? Any military leader is well-schooled on the basics. The old quote tactics wins battles, logistics wins wars is basic education. Cut the supply lines and IS ceases to exist, yet they exist. They are land-locked and surrounded by enemies. Its been long enough that they should be having serious logistical problems by now. So, yes, in that I agree. Origins aside, IS is being allowed to continue for some reason. It is possible they are an invention, but at this point, invention or not, they are being used as a tool. I would like to quote from an article that was written by Tom Horn, that reveals the Occult identity of ISIS. In Egyptian I personally find it hard to believe that a group of Islamic terrorists would choose to name themselves after a mythical Occult female that magically impregnated herself with an Obelisk! No Folks, there is some other symbolic reason for this group to be named ISIS, and media comments like, ISIS is growing stronger, or we may not be able to defeat ISIS, have a special meaning to those in the Occult world. We will have to keep our eyes on this manufactured crisis, and see if the media tells us that ISIS has given birth to yet another group that is even more powerful How can anyone take you seriously with that james bond graphic?!? Have some self respect.. I cannot share this because it looks like batshit truther fluff.. we need to fight fire with fire.. CNN is full of fluff shit but people trust it.. you know why? Production value.. try it out sometime. Yep, like other US/Israel/EU psyops they have overachieved to a fault. They are too powerful, too inscrutable, and too well coordinated to be believed. Time for SITE (who also cant seem to avoid bragging that they uploaded the latest ISIS video even before the producers of it did) to release a shoddy, dirty, dusty, disorganized, and camera-shaky more believable video, along with a Maxwell Smartwould you believequote. That, and ISIS needs to unequivocally and substantially attack Israels interests, in order for it to be credible. By the way, has anyone noticed something funny about the name ISIS? Its an acronym made from all english words, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Do they even have the same letters in arabic? If you took the phrase Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and translated it into Arabic, what would the initials look like? It is clearly a name that was developed by westerners. By the way, there is a military contractor in the US named ISIS. Yes, it is the western (English) name for them. In Arabic its pronounced something like Daesh. Pretty standard stuff most languages have their own names for most nations. Many bare little to no relationship with what people call themselves. Turkish TV show Valley of the Wolves from a few years ago One way to stimulate global economies is with adversarial military behaviour September 18, 2014 Statement by Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel on Congressional Passage of the Continuing Resolution I welcome and appreciate the swift action by Congress to provide the Defense Department with the authority to begin training and equipping the moderate Syrian opposition. This train and equip program is a key element of the presidents comprehensive strategy to degrade and ultimately destroy the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). While it will take time to strengthen the moderate Syrian opposition forces, they and the Iraqi Security Forces and Kurdish forces are central to confronting ISIL. The U.S. military will work closely with regional partners, including Saudi Arabia, to recruit and vet the opposition forces, and we will continue to build and sustain a broad coalition to implement our strategy. Its not reportedly al Sham, for nothing! What a load of rubbish. Each one of these 10 signs can be easily shot down. 1. Any moron with a half-decent camera and cheap editing software can make professional looking video. Go on youtube, there are plenty of 6 year olds that prove this point. 2. Ditto to point 1. 3. Members of ISIS can have their own internet accounts, its not like they have an account in the name of ISIS. Individual members have cell phones with internet connectivity, just like everyone else, not particularly difficult to get or maintain. Social media closes one account, hey its not that hard to create another. 4. The problem with intelligence organisations is that, by and large, theyre not that intelligent. I understand that there is a lot of mythologising about CIA/MOSSAD/MI5 etc. but at the end of the day they are staffed by people, not gods. Furthermore, they are highly centralised, hierarchical organisations that are easily outdone by decentralised movements such as ISIS. 5. Why have a database containing all the details of your movement in one easy location for the enemy to find? Really, really dumb. This is the strength of a decentralised organisation, very few people actually know who is and is not a member. In regard to the lack of coverage of the identities of ISIS members and family members staying quiet, I dont know how many articles I have read that have been written by uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, friends of individuals traveling to Syria/Iraq to join ISIS. 6. Of course the government isnt going to divulge operational details in regard to whether or not theyre tracking individual members of ISIS online. How stupid are you? 7. Bullets are easily sourced in recent war zones, furthermore, you are aware there is a massive black market for weaponry, arent you? Food and water, why do you think one of ISIS first targets was Mosul Dam? 8. Im not even sure what youre ranting about here, but Israel could wipe out ISIS overnight. You know they have nukes, right? 9. Interestingly there are a number of ISIS soldiers that have shown there faces, Mohammad Ali Baryalei, Abdullah Elmir, Izhar Udeen and Khaled Sharrouf to name but a few. This point makes absolutely no sense. 10. This is an argument that has been raised multiple times but you know that there are many wealthy individuals in the Middle East and around the world that are supportive of ISIS goals, right? They will be willing to donate vast sums of money to see these goals achieved. As you can see these kinds of CIA/MOSSAD arguments are easily refuted but since this is an alternative site its unlikely any reasoned arguments will be taken seriously. Ill probably be labeled a sheeple or under cover operative or some such nonsense. Wake up people there is no grand conspiracy and the globalist agenda (whatever that means) is no closer to being implemented now than it was 20 or 30 or 100 years ago. To think I used to waste my precious time with crap on sites such as these. Go outside, hug your family, get some fresh air, sites like these are the real distractions to you living your life. And new terror groups come out one at a time, evenly spaced, exactly when the previous one is on the downswing in the news. And theres never two or more new terror groups, theres always exactly ONE, and it pops up when the last one starts dropping out of the news. Well Im here to offer a way, if not to wake up Those who yet cling to the Disney lie, offer something better to go for as well as sharing the awareness with the awakened. Lets withdraw consent from this crazy way of doing things and create better: The Abundance Paradigm Whats In It for Me? Revolution in ideas, not blood. Did You give an oath and find its bait and switch? Well, there is no oath then, is there? Excellent points, except for the digital editing capabilities of ISIS which is no biggie these days when a kid with a laptop can do professional level image/video editing. As for the mysterious supply routes and identities spot on, ISIS is a state sponsored operation run by Israels mistaravim special forces unit specializing in impersonating enemies. I already knew ISIS was a joke from the start. And how? Because you can bet that any organization or group that gets mainstream media attention is part of a hoax. Its been that way for decades. The psyops programs are designed to dumb down people and make them love lies. TO make them more susceptible to false media. But it is the LOVE FOR THE TRUTH IN YOUR HEART that will protect you. This is why GOD promises that if you follow Him, you will be protected. Because the SPIRIT will thrive within you and protect your conscious. So when lies come your way, YOU WILL KNOW. And at this point in time, WE NEED TO KNOW. So better get right with GOD. Else you will be another one of the fools in the world that are gullible and fall for the same ole elaborate hoaxes that the global elite perpetrate against us. Right now, the biggest hoax in history is taking place with double false flags. RUSSIA, USA, and CHINA are all in it together. THATS A FACT. Pay attention for the signs. They are obvious. ANd know that Putin LOVES Kissinger. That is one sign. I enjoyed reading this article. It gives me hope that people are thinking outside the box. However, I believe you stepped outside the box and lost your peripheral vision in the process. You have lived in some western supremacist bubble and that shows. You greatly underestimate the capabilities of people that you think are savage terrorists or a merely portrayed that way. Do you actually believe the CIA takes disciplined terrorists units for fools? If they did, the world would be a hell of a lot worse than it is. You fail to recognize the 100s if not 1000s of other existing organized criminal and terrorist organizations operating in the world. Each having their own agenda, structure, network, and source of funding. Do you actually think a large organizations requires Americas go ahead to get down to business? Has it ever occurred to you that the UK, Germany, France, USA, etc. have been educating Muslims for decades? How many people of the Muslim faith have acquired a degree in IT or Media Arts this year alone that may find ISIS appealing? Man, you know nothing about war. The CIA, and MOSSAD have been fighting not only foreign terrorists, but domestic enemies as well. You also forget Obama is a Muslim, and he is incompetent and passive on the war on Fundamental Islamic Groups. All you have said in this article is not backed by hard data. I think you like to sound clever, but it is people like you that I would never trust to watch my 6. You obviously have not read the Quran in depth and understand the concept of Taqiyaah: The permission granted to ALL Muslims by Mohammed to deceive all Non-Muslims. You also have not read the Quran enough to understand that it states, until the whole world is under Sharia Law, there shall be no peace. You wanna get along with everyone? Fine. They do not want to get along with you. They want to gang rape your wife because she is non-Muslim. So, before you go talking sideways about an organization that does its best to preserve a democratic government in the midst of a global community of chinless wonders who lead powerful nations with impotent bureaucracy, get your facts straight. ISLAM is the belief system, MOHAMMED plagiarized partly from the bible, mixing in his desire to vindicate his desire to rape and conquer people who would not bow to his phallic ambition. Weak minded fool. How convenient for Skull Bones and Bilderbergers. to push their New World Order agenda(s) How come there is not one documented case of ISIS killing a gay person? One of the best reasons to indicate that ISIS is a US creation is that Obama was focusing on another Regime change, i.e., Assad and Syria. So armaments were being shipped to Syrian rebels fighting Assad (was this connected to the Benghazi attack?). Reportedly, many of these armaments were then diverted to ISIS and used in Iraq. Is the US so ignorant that they didnt know that ISIS comprised a large part of the Syrian rebels? There are two possibilities. The US is complicit or dumb. When Russia stepped in and began bombing ISIS and pushing them back, the US was losing face and their pretension to fighting ISIS was crumbling. So the US began fighting ISIS. Does no one recognize this scenario? While Sec of State, Hillary Clinton orchestrated the Regime change in Ukraine and set up the NeoNazis there. Biden was sent over to push fracking (because Obama is suddenly a champion of Climate Change? We know how earth-friendly fracking is) The patterns of the US are so transparent. They dont even bother to hide them Like Bill Clinton illegally campaigning at polling sites. Americans are too brainwashed and propagandized to recognize the patterns. Meanwhile, our earth is dying. The only good thing about that is that the paricidal human race, bent on suicide and planet destruction, will be gone. On this, my 80th birthday, the future does not bode well and I am angry. Media and officials somehow receive magical updates from a gang 24/7 round the clock, yet still cant catch them. They need to find some new screenwriters and a new production set, because that one isnt working. They even all agree not to attack Israel for no reason at all. haha, yeah. Arent we told the allah club is the arch enemy of the yahweh clan? Heck, with billions of $$ of oil sales revenue, and all the talent these ppl seem to have, why bother going all the way to the uSa, or England, or Europe, or wherever they go, when they could just go next door and kill the party they would have to know is responsible for all their misery, israhell, that is the hand for the american sock-puppet? Awesome read! Bernie lays it all out perfectly by illustrating in good detail just how obvious the neocons modus operandi is becoming. And if you are familiar with the history of false flag events, especially contemporary events and the most recent ones, it completes a huge portion of this sordid puzzle quite nicely. This article is so well-written that I would recommend it to anyone seeking truth, but especially newbies those who may just be discovering this dark side of the worlds governments and big businesses. Having an uniformed individual seeking truth outside of the mainstream media read this article, and then research some of the most recent false flag attacks could quickly open their eyes widely and drop their jaw quickly! 
2	BREAKING: Trey Gowdy Gets The Best News Of His Entire Career... This Changes Everything According to reports from Conservative101, Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy has been mentioned in conversations for Trumps Attorney General. The Republican Congressman has made a name for himself in the past few years for using his experience as a former federal prosecutor in the investigation of Hillary Clinton. Now, inside sources speculate Gowdys next career move will most likely be a federal judge in the U.S. fourth circuit court of appeals. The prestigious position is just one step below our nations Supreme Court. The court is located in Richmond, Virginiawhich is closer to Gowdys family home in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Gowdy would responsible for five states: Maryland, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. Gowdy has demonstrated he has a real passion for upholding justice. What do you think? Would this be a good career move for him? 
3	What In The World Just Happened In Switzerland?Michael Snyder More than three years ago, the Swiss National Bank announced that it would not allow the Swiss franc to fall below 1.20 to the euro, and it has spent a mountain of money defending that peg. But now that it looks like the EU is going to launch a very robust quantitative easing program, the Swiss National Bank has thrown in the towel. It was simply going to cost way too much to continue to defend the currency floor. So now there is panic all over Europe. On Thursday, the Swiss franc rose a staggering 30 percent against the euro, and the Swiss stock market plunged by 10 percent. And all over the world, investors, hedge funds and central banks either lost or made gigantic piles of money as currency rates shifted at an unprecedented rate. It is going to take months to really measure the damage that has been done. Meanwhile, the euro is in greater danger than ever. The euro has been declining for months, and now the number one buyer of euros (the Swiss National Bank) has been removed from the equation. As things in Europe continue to get even worse, expect the euro to go to all-time record lows. In addition, it is important to remember that the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s began when Thailand abandoned its currency peg. With this move by Switzerland set off a European financial crisis? Of course this is hardly the first time that we have seen central banks lie. In the United States, the Federal Reserve does it all the time. The funny thing is that most people still seem to trust what central banks have to say. But at some point they are going to start to lose all credibility. Financial markets like predictability. And gigantic amounts of money had been invested based on the repeated promises of the Swiss National Bank to use unlimited amounts of money to defend the currency floor. Needless to say, there are a lot of people in the financial world that feel totally betrayed by the Swiss National Bank today. The following comes from an analysis of the situation by Bruce Krasting Thomas Jordan, the head of the SNB has repeated said that the Franc peg would last forever, and that he would be willing to intervene in Unlimited Amounts in support of the peg. Jordan has folded on his promise like a cheap suit in the rain. When push came to shove, Jordan failed to deliver. The Swiss economy will rapidly fall into recession as a result of the SNB move. The Swiss stock market has been blasted, the currency is now nearly 20% higher than it was a day before. Someone will have to fall on the sword, the arrows are pointing at Jordan. The dust has not settled on this development as of this morning. I will stick my neck out and say that the failure to hold the minimum rate will result in a one time loss for the SNB of close to $100B. Thats a huge amount of money. It comes to 20% of the Swiss GDP! Most experts are calling this an extremely bad move by the Swiss National Bank. But in the end, they may have had little choice. The euro is falling apart, and the Swiss did not want to be married to it any longer. Unfortunately, when any marriage ends the pain can be enormous. The following comes fromCNBC How do you know youre looking at a bad marriage? Well if one or both of the spouses cant wait to get out as soon as the smallest crack in the door opens, you have a pretty good clue. Something like that just happened in Europe as we learned the real reason why so many traders were still invested in the euro: They had nowhere else to go. As the Swiss National Bank unlocked the doors on its cap on trading euros for Swiss francs, the rush to exit the euro was faster than one of those French bullet trains. But this move has not been bad for everyone. In fact, for many of those that live in Switzerland but work in neighboring countries what happened on Thursdaywas very fortuitous She has reason to be extatic: she is one of some 280,000 people working in Switzerland but living and paying bills in eurozone countries France, Germany or Italy. These so-called frontaliers, or border-crossers, are the biggest winners in Thursdays Swiss franc surge, seeing their incomes jump 30 percent in the blink of an eye. In normal times, things like this very rarely happen. But in times of crisis, things can change very rapidly. We are moving into a time of great volatility in global financial markets, and great volatility is often a sign that a great crash is coming. This move by the Swiss National Bank is just the beginning. Expect more desperate moves on the global economic chessboard in the days ahead. But in the end, none of those moves is going to prevent what is coming. And one of these days, another extremely important currency peg is going to end. Right now, the Chinese have tied their currency very tightly to the U.S. dollar. This has helped to artificially inflate the value of the dollar. Unfortunately,as Robert Wenzel has noted, someday the Chinese could suddenly pull the rug out from under our currency, and that would be really bad news for us In other words, the SNB is no Peoples Bank of China type patsy, where the PBOC has taken on massive amounts of dollar reserves to prop up the dollar. Will the PBOC learn anything from SNB? If so, this will not be good for the US dollar. So keep a close eye on what happens in Europe next. It is going to be a preview of what is eventually coming to America. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

I am one of the frontaliers, nicely described in reverse in this article. I guess Vanessa actually lives in France but works in Switzerland.as I and my wife do.Yes 30% pay rise overnight and already the Swiss are taking advantage and flocking over the border to shop etc My original thoughts were that they have a serious heads up on a Euro drop or crash, QE would fit in nicely there by devaluing every Euro already in circulation Unexpected move, by not altogether unprecedented.. There is absolutely no cause for alarm. Central banks lie- of course they do! What do you expect? They do whatever it takes to bring about global enslavement, their ultimate goal. Several large brokers have already defaulted as a result of the Does the phrase order out of chaos ring a bell? It does ring a bell. I disagree with the philosophy / ideology behind the phrase. Nature, which is the world and cosmos in which we exist has chaos as part of its own cycle of life. If it lives, it dies. If it stands, it crumbles. Entropy is the great equalizing, natural and cosmic force. Attempting to create eternal and immutable order, is in direct violation of the laws of nature and possibly the cosmos. Again, it boils down to kicking a dead horse. The insane behind the phrase you posit here, choose to kick a dead horse and drag everyone along with them. I divest from them in as far as Im able. Thank you, have a good one. You have missed the point, I believe. Order out of chaos is the strategy of the NWO for total globalization and enslavement of the remaining fraction of humanity. http://www.rense.com/general96/newgeo.html I believe this is another orchestrated attack on Russia. As much as this is scary in its implications, times of great flux change can also be times of great opportunity for those who are paying attention.

3	Drug Contaminants, Chemicals in Tap Water Among Possible Causes of AutismMike Barrett While there are a number of possible causes of autism, some research has shown that anti-depressants and other chemicals found in the water supply could be helping to surge autism rates, specifically idiopathic autism spectrum disorders. After exposing fish to two different anti-depressant drugs, Prozac and venlafaxine, and a seizure-controlling drug called carbamazepine, experts from the University of Idaho were astonished after observing changes in the genetic pathways of the fish. They found that just traces of common medications and other chemicals in the water were enough to bring about autism. Whats more, the drug concentrations were comparable with the highest estimated environmental levels. While others have envisioned a causal role for psychotropic drugs in idiopathic autism, we were astonished to find evidence that this might occur at very low dosages, such as those found in aquatic systems, said lead scientist Dr Michael Thomas. This research lends even more concern for pregnant mothers who drink water with trace concentrations, who run the risk of passing along these drugs and other chemicals in the water to their unborn children. In addition to research pinpointing anti-depressants and other chemicals in the water as possible causes of autism, there are a number of other likely and possible causes. Among the most controversial and the most researched causes of autism are vaccines. As children receive more and more vaccines at extremely young ages, mercury and other heavy metals are also being injected into their underdeveloped bodies. The mercury and other heavy metals cause extreme amounts of toxicity, shown to contribute to neurological disorders and the development of autism. In one survey involving 7,600 people, only four children reported having severe autism the mothers tested very high in mercury in all four cases. In other research, scientists found that overweight pregnant women have a startling 67% increased chance of having an autistic child than mothers who are a healthy weight.

3	How Congress Is About to Make It Easier for Chemical Companies to Poison UsBy Claire Bernish But these bills do anything but protect the environment or the people; in fact, states would have a far more difficult time regulating dangerous chemicals on their own, and would be prohibited entirely from doing so while waiting for often snail-paced evaluation by the EPA. Maines 2008 Kid Safe Product Act could serve as an excellent example for potential pitfalls in these ostensible improvements. Though the state has since used that law to list over 1,700 chemicals of concern and has required manufacturers to divulge when they employ some of those even prohibiting the use of other toxic substances altogether when safer alternatives exist the federal bills would nullify such vital protections in certain scenarios. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are flame retardants found in everything from foam furniture cushions to plastic housings for TVs, computers, and electronics. PBDEs are also common in automotive parts and childrens toys. Their chemical structure closely resembles notoriously toxic PCBs, dioxins, and furans, and can leach and evaporate into the environment over time. This process has led to rapid bioaccumulation in fat tissue of humans and animals. Since their discovery in living organisms in 1981, [T]hey have been found in birds, fish, shellfish, amphibians, marine mammals, sewage sludge, sediments, air samples, meats, dairy products, and even vegetables in numerous North American and European locations, as well as in Japan. Most alarming, however, has been their discovery in human blood, fatty tissue, umbilical cord blood, and breast milk in every region where scientists have conducted studies. Furthermore, in many areas, concentrations have been increasing exponentially. PBDEs are linked to low birth weight, thyroid disruption, and permanent behavior problems and brain damage; but there is a dearth of investigation despite suspicion concerning potential carcinogenic properties. Though no current federal regulations are in place for PBDEs, California imposed restrictions on their manufacture and distribution and Maine has banned them altogether. Bisphenol A (BPA) is the ubiquitous principle building block of polycarbonate plastic used in the resin lining of all food and beverage cans. It can be found in a wide assortment of products from baby bottles and sippy cups to dental fillings and medical devices. It can even be found in cash register receipts. But its widespread use doesnt equate with safety, as BPA is linked to a number of health problems and is a likely human carcinogen. As the Natural Resources Defense Council stated, More than 90 percent of the general population has BPA in their bodies. Maine led the nationwide effort to rein in use of the toxic substance, which received so much attention even the giant toymaker Hasbro wound up removing BPA from all its products, reportedThe Intercept. There are several ways proposed reforms to the TSCA could undermine consumer safety. Of particular concern would be the inability for states to enact regulations while waiting for the EPA to complete investigations into substances toxicity PBDEs and BPA are still under consideration, for example. Though some already-established restrictions on certain chemicals would be allowed to remain in place, once the EPA lists others on its priorities list, states would be prohibited from imposing such rules and then, the EPA has seven years to take action on a harmful substance. Most disturbingly, that prohibition on state action would remain in placeeven in cases where the EPA fails to take any action whatsoever. Further, if the EPA does find a substance to be harmful, before federal restrictions can be imposed, the agency must offer evidence the product containing it causes significant exposure a nebulous term left undefined, and thus open to interpretation, in the bill. No terms defined here, nor is the scope of products spelled out, explained Mike Belliveau, Executive Director of theEnvironmental Health Strategy Center. Again, data gaps on chemical use often prevent EPA from knowing which products are the worst offenders. If the chemical is unsafe, EPA should have freedom to restrict any source, without having to conduct a second safety assessment just on products. If the bill stands, expect a classic move from the industry playbook. Theyll disaggregate the risk into smaller and smaller categories until nothing is significant. Or theyll sue EPA for failing to meet its new burden [of proof]. If consumers were hoping for relief via EPA restrictions on chemicals already known to be hazardous, it wont come from this reform legislation. Of some 62,000 chemicals grandfathered into the original TSCA and an additional 20,000 that have come to market since, without sufficient safety and health assessments at least 2,000 are known to be hazardous. With stipulations in the proposed Lautenberg reforms requiring only 10 dangerous chemicals be tested in the first year, and just 25 every three to five years after that [a]ssuming no delays, it will take EPA about 400 years just to assess the safety of the chemicals we already know are dangerous to human health and the environment. If a toxic substance somehow jumps through all these hoops and winds up banned by legislation, foreign companies seeking to import products containing that substance wont have much difficulty doing so. Not only would the EPA be required to assess the health risks of that specific product, it would also have to determine whether restricting it would be considered an impediment to trade and commerce. Regardless of the substances status as illegal, there would be no mandate for importers to certify their products dont contain it. Is it any wonder chemical groups and their lobbyists have been eagerly pushing to reform the TSCA? In fact, as SFGate discovered, the legislations digital footprints point to none other than the American Chemistry Council, the leading trade organization and lobbyist for the chemical industry. Were apparently at the point in the minds of some people in the Congress that laws intended to regulate polluters are now written by the polluters, themselves, said president of the Environmental Working Group, Ken Cook. Senators David Vitter and Tom Udall may be responsible for authorship of the bill, but according to an article in The New York Times, Udalls political supporters now include the chemical industry, which has donated tens of thousands of dollars to campaigns and sponsored a television ad that praised his leadership. And though the senator has been chief negotiator for the bill, Some of Mr. Udalls Democratic Senate colleagues and prominent environmentalists say he has helped the industry write new regulations in a way that protects profits more than peoples health. Though digital signatures can be changed, as ACC spokeswoman and vice president Ann Kolter told SFGate, Cook and Senator Barbara Boxers office both claimed their copies of the bill bore the same electronic signature. AsSFGate reported, a Senate IT staffer told Boxers office, We can confidently say that the document was created by a user with American Chemistry Council. Their name is specified as Author and their Organization is specified as American Chemistry Council. Cal M. Dooley, former representative from California who is now lobbyist for and president of ACC, which represents Dow, DuPont, and other behemoths of the $800 billion-per-year chemical industry, said of Udall, The leadership he is providing is absolutely critical. As Belliveau explained, the past decade has seen 35 states pass restrictions on harmful chemicals in household products, such as mercury thermometers, toxic flame retardants in couches and televisions, lead and phthalates in toys, BPA in baby bottles and cadmium in jewelry. State leadership on chemicals has protected the public in the absence of federal leadership and driven the chemical industry to the TSCA reform table. Unfortunately, many of those efforts will be undermined by the attempted covert marriage of that industry and the very leadership supposedly tasked with being its watchdog. How Congress manages to put profit and capitulation to industry interest ahead of public health and safety is unconscionable yet apparently its the strikingly bold reality of life in U.S., Inc. As Belliveau lamented: In either case, the bill makes it harder to regulate consumer products that are a known source of chemicals that fail the safety standard.

1	An uncomfortable exchange between Brad Leydner, 25, and Ginny, the cute redheaded waitress at Hugo's Bistro, lost all awkwardness when envisioned in Leydner's masturbation fantasy later that afternoon. 'So, would you like to grab a coffee after your shift?' a nervous Leydner asked Ginny in both the real and imagined scenarios Monday. 'Oh, Brad, I can't wait four hours to see you. You should fuck me hard, right in this booth,' replied the Dream Ginny moments before Leydner achieved orgasm. In the fantasy scenario, Ginny did not hide in the kitchen to avoid speaking to Leydner while he paid for his meal. 
3	Migrating North Pole Contributing to Severe Weather?selfnews Post As the Northern Hemisphere has experienced one of the warmest summers on record, Arcticice hasreceded considerably, prompting the typical global warming collapse discussion. While northern ice has indeed reached new modern lows, ice in the southern hemisphere continent of Antarctica has reached record highs.Charts for both hemispheres can be seen here. So, clearly some kind of shift is happening, but perhaps the answer is not as simple as CO2 concentrations like the establishment would like us to believe. There seem to be much larger galactic-scale forces at play that are affecting not just Earth but all planets in the solar system. One of those forces appears to be Earths rapidly migrating magnetic North Pole, as can be seen in the video below. This video does an excellent job of explaining how thisanomaly may fit in to the bigger picture of our shifting climate vs. the limited human-centric, 200-year-long version that gets politicized: With the Earths magnetic North Pole shifting by 40 miles per year, this event isalready causing airports to adjust their runways. It is bound to change prevailing winds, ocean currents and many other factors involved in maintaining a stable and predictable climate. What is your view of the information presented in this video?

1	Calling it one of the 'true overlooked gems' in the American Christmas-song canon, holiday music aficionado Steve Robinson strongly recommended this week that his friends 'do themselves a favor' and listen to 'Frosty The Snowman.' 'Oh man, 'Frosty' is unreal, you got to check it out,' said Robinson, adding that the song's innovative fusion of jazz and lullaby conventions was 'peerless' and 'way ahead of its time.' 'Great concept, tight arrangement, and the lyrics are just incredible. Love that line about the 'two eyes made out of coal.' Classic.' Robinson also maintained that, with its unorthodox repetitive structure, dramatic build, and 'mind-blowing' imagery, 'The 12 Days Of Christmas' is about as good as it gets. 
3	The Next Food Crisis Will Be Caused By Globalist Land-Grabs and PrivatizationSusanne Posel, Contributor The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) explains that weve not been producing as much as we are consuming. That is why stocks are being run down. Supplies are now very tight across the world and reserves are at a very low level, leaving no room for unexpected events next year. Since 2010, the FAO has stated that the rise in food prices is directly correlated to the 80 million people being added to the worlds population annually. This fact, according to the globalists at the UN, is beginning to tax both the skills of farmers and the limits of the earths land and water resources. Added to this problem are the 3 million people who are moving up the food chain eating more than their share in gluttonous nations like the United States and China. The World Bank issued a statement of concern last month for the coming food shortage due to the drought devastating the US and Europe. According to Jim Yong Kim, World Bank group president: Food prices rose again sharply threatening the health and well-being of millions of people. Africa and the Middle East are particularly vulnerable, but so are people in other countries where the prices of grains have gone up abruptly. Corn yields in the US have succumbed to an infection known as aspergillus flavus which causes a carcinogenic toxin to manifest and renders the corn unfit for human consumption. In Iowa, cattle ranchers have reported that their livestock that ate the corn have died due to toxic nitrate doses. With an estimated 870 million people in the Middle East and Africa becoming malnourished, world environmentalists are saying that the global food supply system is heading toward collapse. Lester Brown, president of the Earth Policy Institute (EPI), asserts that our planets climate can no longer be trusted and that the demand for food from over-population is breaking the proverbial straw on the camels back. Brown says that food shortages undermined earlier civilizations. We are on the same path. Each country is now fending for itself. The world is living one year to the next. Brown predicts that as food supplies are tightening everywhere and agricultural land is becoming a precious commodity, geopolitical perspective will shift from energy to necessity. He foretells of armed aggression focused on food unrest. EPI is a foundation begun by Brown that focuses on influencing the global plan for an environmentally and economically sustainable world. Part of their goal is to coerce the media, social consciousness, lawmakers and governments to adhere to their ideals and examples of how to demonstrate an ecological civilization. Under the Obama administration, with the assistance of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) there is a crisis being created because of mandates for ethanol production versus necessities for food. The US investment in ethanol is a drain on the worlds food stores; which allocates massive amounts of food to the production of this plant-based fuel for cars instead of for human consumption. In April, before the drought crisis in America began to take its toll on US corn crops, Purdue and Stanford published a study that predicted with precise accuracy that man-made climate change would affect corn yields to the extent that a rise in food prices would be inevitable. They obtained their funding from US Department of Energys Office of Science. The study explains with eerie accuracy that due to man-made climate change there could be quite a substantial increase in yield volatility, and thats due to the increased frequency and intensity of the high temperatures throughout the Corn Belt. Confirmed eugenicists Bill and Melinda Gates have allocated $17.6 to the UN World Food Program (WFP) to provide nutritious food and support small-scale farmers. In the end, the Foundation will give $10 million to the WFP. Instead of giving the money to the people in need of food and provisions, the Gates Foundation will be granting not only the UN through WFP, but also non-governmental organizations aligned with the UN such as Oxfam America, Mercy Corps and the Catholic Relief Services. At this years UN Earth Summit Rio+20, goals for sustainable development in Africa and Asia center on population growth, water supplies and food security. The sub-Saharan and northern regions of Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and parts of Asia are of particular interest to the UN, as stated by UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO). With the assistance of the UN, corporations have begun descending on Africa to aid in the securitization of their natural resources. Examples such as an $11 million dollar project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Cocoa-Cola Corporation is usurping 50,000 Kenyan and Ugandan smallholders to produce fruit for Minute Maid, a subsidiary for Cocoa-Cola. Africa is now the last frontier in terms of arable land, said James Nyoro, the Rockefeller Foundations managing director for Africa. With the population growing to 9 billion, the rest of the world will have to depend upon Africa to feed it. In February of this year, the Rights and Resources Initiative, a non-governmental organization was involved with the UN in a massive land-grab in Africa which displaced an estimated 500 million citizens from the sub-Sahara, as well as targeted 346 billion acres of farmland, for the purpose of securitizing food production. According to a 2011 report released by the International Land Coalition, there is a rush by global networks to acquire land in the sub-Saharan region of Africa by foreign corporations and governments, which is causing environmental and agricultural devastation along the River Niger in Africa. The report states: The siphoning of water for huge areas of farmland will worsen the already low water levels of the Niger. The outcome was a 50 percent diminution of the delta flood plains land area. Given that social conflict over resources between farmers and pastoralists has always been a feature of the Niger Basin, the Coalition suggests that large-scale irrigation could heighten tension between local and downstream water users. In 2007 2008, land grabs by NGOs, multi-national corporations and international entities were a direct causation of the food crisis in developing nations as a result of oil-rich Saudi Arabia and South Korea buying or leasing vast tracts of land in Africa, Asia and Latin America. President Barack Obama supports the UNs land grab scheme with the installation of his $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. Susanne Posel is the Chief Editor of Occupy Corporatism.

3	Power Brokers Meet at Private Renaissance Weekend Ideas FestivalBrandon Turbeville What surprised me, however, was that several of the more politically active individuals I spoke to actually began telling me about yet another annual meeting of power brokers that takes place in my own state, one which I had never heard of. This was particularly surprising considering the proximity of the meetings and the fact that they have been taking place for well over thirty years. What they were talking about was the annual Renaissance Weekend. The Renaissance Weekend began in 1981 and was founded by Philip and Linda LeSourd Lader. It is a private, invitation-only gathering of a relatively large number of high- to low-level players in U.S. politics. The event takes place over an entire weekend and is usually held in eloquent resorts in Charleston, South Carolina. In recent years, the conference has developed branches in other locations such as Aspen, Co, Santa Monica, CA, Monterey, CA, Napa, CA, and Jackson Hole, WY. Renaissance Weekends the grand-daddy of ideas festivals build bridges among innovative leaders of all ages, with exceptionally diverse perspectives. Unusually candid, theprograms are always provocative, fueled by a unique interaction of thought-leaders, trend-setters and authorities. The attendees are then described in this manner: CEOs, venture capitalists entrepreneurs, Nobel laureates Pulitzer Prize-winners, artists, educators scientists, astronauts Olympians, judges, diplomats, social entrepreneurs non-profit leaders, change-makers of Silicon Valley, Hollywood, Wall Street Main Street, professors priests, Republicans, Democrats Independents. To be clear, Renaissance Weekends are not Bilderberg. This much can be seen by thefact that the overwhelming majority of the participants are Americans, and also that the organizers are quite open about the conference and who attends it. One can even visit the Illustrative List of Past Participants on the official website to get a sense of who is attending the event, along with pictures and a brief qualification listing for each person. Indeed, the sheer amount of people attending the conference precludes the cloud of secrecy that surrounds confabs like Bilderberg. Not only that, but the levels of true power brokers taking part in Renaissance Weekends is much lower than that of other private meetings. Although the meetings are both closed to the public, and access is granted by invitation only, many low-level politicians, scientists, CEOs, bankers, and academics, mostly of the more privileged class of the general population are allowed in. Thus, it is apparent that one need not be part of any conspiracy to be invited to the Renaissance Weekend. However, the conference is not merely a gathering of proficient high school students either. A quick look at the Participants List reveals that much. Indeed, considering the individuals who were instrumental in founding the Renaissance Weekend, we should not be eager to dismiss the event as nothing more than entertainment. Philip Lader and his wife Linda LeSourd Lader both have some interesting insideconnections of their own. Philip Lader, for instance, has been the U.S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James, Chairman of the WPP Group, Senior Advisor to Morgan Stanley, and a Partner in the Nelson Mullins Law Firm. Most notably, he is Vice Chairman of the RAND Corporation and serves on the boards of Marathon Oil, RusAl, Lloyds of London, and AES Corporations. Lader is also on the Board of Directors of the Atlantic Council. He is a member of the Campaign for American Leadership in the Middle East, Council of American Ambassadors, the Pilgrims Society, and the Council on Foreign Relations. Lader was also the former President of the Sea Pines Company and the Executive Vice President of Sir James Goldsmiths US holdings. Philip Laders wife, Linda LeSourd Lader, is a trustee of the Tony Blair Foundation and Communities in Schools. She has also served on the board of Habitat for Humanity International, International Justice Mission, and Harvard Divinity Schools Center for the Study of Values in Public Life. She also assisted with the White House liaison to American communities of faith and served as an advisor to the President on issues of religion in American culture. Lader was educated at Yale Divinity School where she became a Fellow at the Yale Center for Faith and Culture. It should be noted, however, that a large amount of the attendees to the Renaissance Weekend do not have biographies anything close to that of the Laders or the Clintons who also attend these functions. Indeed, many participants have no real official qualifications at all and many of them bring their entire family along as a childrens program, Camp Renaissance, is run simultaneous to the adult programs. Teenagers are also welcome. College students can also be invited and are encouraged to blend in to the full program schedule with the other more select guests. With this in mind, and as I have mentioned earlier, Renaissance Weekend is obviously no Bilderberg. Yet it is no mere educational conference either. What Renaissance does appear to be is a mix between the higher level worker bees of the true power brokers in society with mid- and low-level agents of the system. More importantly, Renaissance may serve as a recruiting ground for future agents of the system, whether on a long-term or temporary basis. By allowing seasoned globalist operatives to mingle with state or local level ladder climbers, as well as students and academics with high aspirations, those individuals who express desire to manifest their potential within globalist systems are able to be identified for future grooming. Thus, Rennaissance can be considered a possible farm team of the general public for the globalist elite which functions in addition to the more traditional methods already in place. Regardless of the direct influence that discussions at Renaissance have on world affairs, the conference stands as yet another private event made up of elites, government officials, financiers, corporate operatives, and academics that meet largely in secret to discuss public policy and other relevant issues outside of the eye of those they have been elected to serve. But, while members of the public are often invited (after having been vetted), we cannot be so nave to think that the real discussions of Renaissance take place in the conference halls or in front of large audiences of eager and wide-eyed serfs.

3	Dental Composites for Kids: Even Worse Than Mercury Amalgam?Sayer Ji, Contributor The results of the study, which looked at a group of 534 children, 6 to 10 years old, were as follows: Children with higher cumulative exposure to bisGMA-based composite had poorer follow-up scores on 3 of 4 BASC-SR [self-reported Behavior Assessment System for Childre]global scales: Emotional Symptoms ( = 0.8, SE = 0.3, P = .003), Clinical Maladjustment ( = 0.7, SE = 0.3, P = .02), and Personal Adjustment ( = -0.8, SE = 0.2, P = .002). Associations were stronger with posterior-occlusal (chewing) surfaces, where degradation of composite was more likely. Moreover, researchers found that at-risk or clinically significant scores were more common among children with greater exposure for total problem behavior, and and numerous BASC-SR syndromes. They noted No associations were found with [non BPA-based] compomer, nor with amalgam exposure levels among children randomized to amalgam. Greater exposure to bisGMA-based dental composite restorations was associated with impaired psychosocial function in children, whereas no adverse psychosocial outcomes were observed with greater urethane dimethacrylate-based compomer or amalgam treatment levels. It should be emphasized that this study should not be misinterpreted to mean that amalgams are safe. So, let us dispel the myth of a safe or safer amalgam in the following way. What follows is an article published in the journal The Science of the Total Environment, well worth reading in its entirety, which covers disturbing facts about amalgams quite thoroughly: Dental amalgam is 50% metallic mercury (Hg) by weight and Hg vapour continuously evolves from in-place dental amalgam, causing increased Hg content with increasing amalgam load in urine, faeces, exhaled breath, saliva, blood, and various organs and tissues including the kidney, pituitary gland, liver, and brain. The Hg content also increases with maternal amalgam load in amniotic fluid, placenta, cord blood, meconium, various foetal tissues including liver, kidney and brain, in colostrum and breast milk. Based on 2001 to 2004 population statistics, 181.1 million Americans carry a grand total of 1.46 billion restored teeth. Children as young as 26 months were recorded as having restored teeth. Past dental practice and recently available data indicate that the majority of these restorations are composed of dental amalgam. Employing recent US population-based statistics on body weight and the frequency of dentally restored tooth surfaces, and recent research on the incremental increase in urinary Hg concentration per amalgam-filled tooth surface, estimates of Hg exposure from amalgam fillings were determined for 5 age groups of the US population. Three specific exposure scenarios were considered, each scenario incrementally reducing the number of tooth surfaces assumed to be restored with amalgam. Based on the least conservative of the scenarios evaluated, it was estimated that some 67.2 million Americans would exceed the Hg dose associated with the reference exposure level (REL) of 0.3 g/m(3) established by the US Environmental Protection Agency; and 122.3 million Americans would exceed the dose associated with the REL of 0.03 g/m(3) established by the California Environmental Protection Agency. Exposure estimates are consistent with previous estimates presented by Health Canada in 1995, and amount to 0.2 to 0.4 g/day per amalgam-filled tooth surface, or 0.5 to 1 g/day/amalgam-filled tooth, depending on age and other factors. While bisphenol-A is actually better known for its endocrine disrupting properties, as it mimics and/or interferes with estrogen receptors and pathways in the body, research indicates that it moves freely through the blood-brain barrier, due to its lipophilic (fat-loving) properties.[ii] This means that whatever bisphenol-A is released from the composite material will eventually have direct access to the childrens developing central nervous system. There is also preliminary research indicating that bisphenol A may result in central nervous system hyperactivity. BisGMA-based dental composites have also been studied in vitro experiements to be highly toxic to human DNA, raising concern that the the adverse effects of these dental restorations stretch far beyond behavioral/cognitive problems to increasing childhood cancer risk. Unfortunately, BPA (and similar bisphenol analogs, such as Bisphenol-S), are omnipresent in food liners, thermal printer papers, and paper currencies, to name but a few common sources of exposure, making the issue far larger than dental restorations.

3	Nations Top Teacher Drops Resignation Bomb: I Cant Drill em and Kill emHeather Callaghan Stacie Starr was not just any teacher, however. She was the number one finalist in 2014sLive with Kelly and Michael Top Teacher award, a peoples choice andenviable contest of sorts. Its like the American Idol for teacher contestants, and it drove her into the national limelight. This prompted many news segments to ask her how it felt to win that kind of recognition. In multiple pieces you can see her getting tearfully choked up at the honor, and calling it one of the greatest days of her entire life. Furthermore, she did not simply download information into her learning-disabled, at-risk students she taught them how to think. That is why she was recognized! That was near the end of the 2013-2014 school year, so for her to announce her resignation the following year, nowhere near retirement age, is astonishing and enough to make the greater majority of people to say, what gives? In the speech below, she will tell you exactly what gives. But more than that, this speech is utterly heart wrenching because it erupts in tears of another kind. Earlier this month, Starr was merely to provide information at a Lorain County Education Forum about PARCC testing as it relates to special education students. PARCC is the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, a coalition of states that is using the test to drive Common Core by assessing students (and teachers) to see how up to par they are on the new, fast-paced and nonsensical programming. What is even more insidious, is that special needs students have been left out of the mix to fall by the wayside. By that I mean, while they are normally allowed to have helps for their disability (like having the test read aloud), they are not allowed any such thing with PARCC. Which means that PARCC is acting outside and above the law with a survival of the fittest standard. Starr demonstrates the irony of all the children becoming left behind in this new system. Hear the disturbing account of Robert Oppenheimer, the Manhattan Project, A-Bomb, and Trumans decision to bomb questions being used for 9th grade reading! She also shows how PARCC and Common Core will contribute to the school-to-prison pipeline. She explains what happens when you ask a modern student a question they can. not. think. for themselves. From IJR Review (my emphasis added): Gasps of disbelief followed the announcement made during an education forum aimed at unraveling for parents the intricacies of the standardized testing system. Starr was at the podium, delivering a talk on how special education students are suffering under the new system based on Common Core standards and more rigorous assessments. She said as a veteran intervention specialist at Elyria High School, she could no longer watch silently from within the confines of a structured school day. Starr spoke of her reasons for leaving teaching, saying: I cant do it anymore, not in this drill em and kill em atmosphere, adding, I dont think anyone understands that in this environment if your child cannot quickly grasp material, study like a robot and pass all of these tests, they will not survive. Starr was not alone, though. At the public event where she announced her intention to resign at the end of the school year, other teachers from Elyria High School voiced their skepticism about new teaching standards and the contemplations of resigning. PARCC is another insidious privatized thread, intertwined with Common Core instillation and is worthy of its own articles. This writer encourages the reader to seek research on it, starting with teaching blogs and even mainstream rants written by teachers. You might even bring it up to your local teachers and be prepared for an earful! Related: Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist.

3	Whistleblower debunks claim that the NSA is keeping you safeEdward Snowdens whistleblowing case should not be the only one focused on. Thomas Drake, a whistleblowing predecessor of Snowden, published a written testimony in the Guardian news explaining how the information that Snowden is releasing is exactly what he saw during his time working at the NSA. In the testimony he goes on to describe his involvement in pre- and post-9/11 surveillance and how he had begun speaking out from within the agency. Unlike Snowden, Drake took up his concerns with the unconstitutionality of the spying in accordance with the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act. Directly addressing the highest levels of the NSA and making confessions as a material witness for two 9/11 congressional investigations. Thomas Drake claims that intelligence gathered from pre-September 11th surveillance could have prevented the terror attacks that brought down three World Trade Center skyscrapers, if the NSA would have just disclosed it with other agencies. This claim by Drake completely discredits the idea that the NSA mass intelligence gathering is solely to keep the American people safe. This information certainly was never made clear to Steven Bucci, writer for The Foundry Conservative Policy News blog, who wrote an article defending the surveillance titled, Phone Records and the NSA: Legal and Keeping America Safe. Dianne Fienstein and Mike Rogers, who both occupy chairs on the Committee on Intelligence, also defend the disregard of the fourth amendment by claiming the NSA snooping keeps everyone safe. Watch Fienstein and Rogers tell you why its in your best interest to be surveilled by government here. If this were true, then theres certainly no reason Thomas Drake would have confessed in front of two congressional investigations of 9/11 the fact that the NSA could have stopped the Twin Towers from falling. Also, those claims make little sense when considering the fact that Drake went under the shield of the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act and directly bumped up against those running the worldwide wire taping programs at the highest levels. The revelations of these NSA whistleblowers is without a doubt enough to force a country-wide debate on the intent of mass data gathering, and the legality of it all. By Drakes admissions the NSAs only goal is to gather as much intelligence as they possibly can. Keeping the American people safe is not exactly on their radar. Read Drakes write up here. The revelations out of the German magazine Der Speigel of the bugging of EU offices and computer networks by US intelligencereinforces the arguments of those such as Drake, that the surveillance grid is being used for the advantage of a few at the exposure of everyone. Drakes testimony is jam-packed with information that is enough to shatter the establishments defensive arguments for the surveillance. We need to hold those like Thomas Drake and Edward Snowden in high regard for standing up for the Constitution. Share this article to make more people aware of the powerful revelations made by Thomas Drake.

1	President Clinton, in a bold move toward economic restructuring, announced the financial agenda for his second term Monday: economic stimulation through application of the 'Fabulous Financiamalizer,' a fanciful steam-powered contraption of his own devising. At a press conference Monday, Professor W. Jefferson Clinton unveiled the amazing new Financiamalizer. 'My fellow Americans, I come before you today to flaunt a very miracle of modern science,' Clinton said at a press conference Monday, sporting a plum-colored velvet tuxedo and top hat, as well as a newly grown black handlebar mustache. Clinton spoke while standing next to the prototype Financiamalizer, a 20-foot-high maze of tubing and whirling discs painted in spiral patterns, connected to a simmering steam boiler. 'Girls, grab onto your boyfriends,' Clinton continued, 'lest you become faint of heart at the magnificent machinations of Professor W. Jefferson Clinton's Fabulous Financiamalizer.' He then began his demonstration by spinning a large valve wheel at the base of the contraption, funneling steam into a bellows-like component which emitted wheezing sounds as it distended and shrank alternately. This motion caused a large brass pendulum to swing, turning a central ratchet wheel around in short increments. Within seconds the entire machine was a twirling, puffing mass of pumping pistons, brightly colored fluids racing through clear glass tubing, and a mechanical cuckoo bird which popped in and out of a tiny hatch near the top of the machine. Moments later, an electronic stock ticker Clinton brought to the demonstration began reflecting massive upswings in the Dow and NASDAQ averages. As the assembled crowd gasped in amazement, a young reporter shouted, 'Will it make the dollar strong in the world economy?' An amused Clinton tweaked his mustache and retorted, 'My good sir, this machine will double your dollar and give you four bits change.' Clinton then adjusted several levers and brass dials on the machine, bringing the U.S. dollar to a strength against the yen unseen in this decade. In addition to the device's demonstrated functions, Clinton said it will raise the U.S. Gross National Product, lower lending rates at the nation's financial institutions and hush colicky babies. 'There you have it, my good people,' beamed Clinton at the end of the demonstration. 'Now who's gonna be the first on their street to show off the Fabulous Financiamalizer to their amazed neighbors? You, sir, show the little wife she didn't marry a cheapskate.' The president then began collecting fistfuls of cash from citizens eager to reap the machine's benefits. Countering the crowd's enthusiastic response was an angry tirade by Willard Klumpf, 88, of Arlington, Virginia, who elbowed to the front of the crowd and condemned Clinton's invention as 'a new-fangled gadget that ain't fit to peel 'taters.' The bony, shriveled, retired telegraph operator then whacked at the machine several times with his cane before being removed by Secret Service agents. Despite Klumpf's display of pessimism, the majority of those at the press conference were wowed by the Financiamalizer. 'This ingenious device guarantees a new era of fiscal well-being for the U.S.,' declared Wall Street Journal reporter Mel Sansweet. 'While I haven't yet fully comprehended the principles on which the Finaciamalizer operates, it is obvious that Clinton is a learned man and his intentions are honorable.' Sansweet purchased two Financiamalizers from Clinton, one for each floor of his home. 'I wanted to make sure the upstairs of my house was just as economically prosperous as the downstairs,' he explained. Having stuffed his leather satchel with cash, Clinton bid the press conference farewell, hopped into a horse-drawn wagon and caught the 2:15 train to Philadelphia. 
2	James Comey Finally Tells The World What Really Happened With Hillary [TELL ALL] Last week, the CIA shocked Americans everywhere when they announced their belief that Russia interfered in the 2016 election in an effort to help Donald Trump secure the presidency. Now, FBI Director James B. Comey and Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr. have joined the CIA in supporting this claim. This comes after some lawmakers suggested the FBI disagreed with the CIAs findings. Now, it looks as though leaders of the three agencies are in agreement. Essentially, Comey believes Clinton would have won the election if Russia had not intervened. Earlier this week, I met separately with FBI James Comey and DNI Jim Clapper, and there is strong consensus among us on the scope, nature, and intent of Russian interference in our presidential election, CIA Director John Brennan said in a message to the agencys workforce. The three of us also agree that our organizations, along with others, need to focus on completing the thorough review of this issue that has been directed by President Obama and which is being led by the DNI. Both the CIA and FBI declined to comment on the matter. Obama, on the other hand, has been very firm in his position on the matter. I think there is no doubt that when any foreign government tries to impact the integrity of our elections, we need to take action, Obama said Friday. And we willat a time and place of our own choosing. Some of it may be explicit and publicized; some of it may not be. What do you think? Did Russia interfere in our elections to help Trump win, or is this just another attempt to keep him out of the White House? 
2	James Comeys Career Comes Crashing Down Right After They Reopen Hillarys Investigation Last week, FBI Director James Comey dropped a major bombshell on the Clinton campaign when he announced he was reopening the investigation into Hillarys use of a personal email server as Secretary of State. Now, it appears his job is on the line. Department of Justice officials have revealed that Comey was explicitly told that sending out that letter about new pertinent emails would be in violation of department policy. Director Comey understood our position, one employee told The Washington Post. He heard it from Justice leadership. It was conveyed to the FBI, and Comey made an independent decision to alert the Hill. He is operating independently of the Justice Department. And he knows it. CNN reported that this order came from the top, though Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates have both denied that allegation. Officials agree there was little Lynch could have done to stop Comey, given her controversial meeting with Bill Clinton earlier this year. What do you think? Did Comey do the right thing in releasing the letter? 
1	President Clinton is embroiled in scandal once again after testing positive for the presidency-enhancing drug Crovan. Traces of Crovan were found in Clinton's urine Monday during a random drug test conducted as part of the federal government's employee-testing program. Crovan, an orally administered drug that artificially boosts diplomacy and coalition-building skills, as well as perceived-sincerity levels, has been banned from presidential use since the Ford Administration. Speaking to reporters, Clinton vehemently denied taking the drug. 'I have never used Crovan or any other illegal presidency-enhancer during my time in office,' he said. 'My presidency has been 100 percent natural.' Clinton also denied a report that he used a quick-flush tea in an attempt to get the drug out of his system prior to the test. 
1	In a stunning revelation that has sent shockwaves through the baseball world, Howard Bryant's recently published biography, The Last Hero: The Life Of Henry Aaron, reports that the Hall of Fame slugger actually despised hitting home runs. 'They felt disgusting. Revolting. That's why I put off hitting the record-breaking home run for so long,' Aaron says in an interview that appears in a chapter titled 'Chasing The Bambino.' 'Lifting up my head to track the ball through the sky gave me terrible migraines, and I actually despised hitting the sweet spot of the bat. You couldn't feel anything. Nothing, except complete and utter emptiness.' In the book, Aaron also reveals that he loved to bunt, claiming that he never felt more alive than when he'd tap the ball with his bat and watch it roll several inches and stop. 
1	Massapequa Junior High School became the center of heated controversy Monday, when sixth-grader Jodi Bevell, 12, was charged with violating a strict non-disclosure pact between herself and best friend Stephanie Luedtke regarding the commencement of Luedtke's menstrual cycle. Bevell (left) and Luedtke in a 1996 file photo. According to reports, Bevell 'totally swore to God' not to reveal an Oct. 25 incident of vaginal bleeding by Luedtkeher first everto 'a single soul.' But despite the verbal agreement, Bevell allegedly informed fellow sixth-grader Ashley Weinstein about the episode. 'I can't believe she told Ashley that I got my period,' a visibly shaken Luedtke told reporters. 'She promised she would keep it a total, complete secret, and now everybody in school knows. Even Jason Koerner.' Luedtke said that after nearly eight months of best-friendship, she and Bevell are no longer friends. Though Bevell initially denied violating the confidentiality pact, she later admitted relaying news of the Luedtke menstruation to Weinstein. Bevell stressed, however, that she did so only under the strict condition that Weinstein promise not to tell anyone else about Luedtke's menstruation. 'I told Ashley that I would tell her something about Jodi, but only if she swore to keep it a secret, because if it ever got back to Jodi that I said anything, I would be so dead,' Bevell said. 'But then she went and told [sixth-grader] Erica Zumbo, and then Erica told the whole rest of the school.' Luedtke learned of Bevell's breakage of the confidentiality pact during a three-hour telephone conversation Sunday night with Stacy Schlieffen, who was informed of the Luedtke menstruation by a friend of Zumbo's and was able to trace the information leak back to Bevell over the course of a series of conversations during lunch hour last Friday. 'From a legal standpoint, this represents a serious breach of trust,' Luedtke's attorney, Milton Miller, said. 'When Ms. Bevell agreed to preserve the confidentiality of my client's event, she entered into a verbal contract, which is as binding and irrevocable as a written agreement. Bevell knowingly chose to disregard both this verbal agreement and the lex non scripta of 12-year-old girls as it universally applies to periods.' Luedtke said she first discovered that she had 'gotten it' while in the bathroom during the four-minute break between third and fourth hour, but did not have the proper feminine products on her person to remedy the problem. She did, however, have some in her locker. 'Luckily I had some you-knows in my locker that I'd been hiding since the school nurse gave them out at the girls-only assembly,' Luedtke said. 'The halls were empty, so I was able to sneak the box and the instruction booklet back to the bathroom, but I still ended up being late for science class. When I finally got to class, I told Mr. Reisberg that I was taking care of an emergency, and he didn't make me show him a pass or anything. Oh my God, I hope he didn't know.' George Reisberg, Luedtke's science teacher, said he knew immediately that the girl had gotten her period. 'Red face, near tears, whispering, sweatshirt tied around the waistit was pretty obvious,' said Reisberg, who said he has seen this scenario 'hundreds of times' in his 22 years at Massapequa Junior High School. Besides being among the first in her grade to experience her menses, Luedtke is also among the first to begin wearing a bra, a fact that has made dress-out days in physical-education class 'a nightmare.' To deal with the newly added problem of menstruation during gym class, Luedtke has devised a plan to change in the locker-room toilet stalls during the days of her period. But the plan's long-term prospects are questionable: Luedtke recently heard an unconfirmed report from Ashley Weinstein's older sister that in seventh grade, 'you have to take showers with nothing on.' As of press time, Luedtke is refusing to accept Bevell's apologies, rejecting all attempted phone calls, as well as a spiral notebook page passed during Language Arts with the cursive, purple-felt-tip-pen-written message, 'Are you still mad at me? Circle YES or NO.' 'Jodi knew the consequences of violating the pact, and she cannot abrogate the infraction ex post facto,' Miller said. 'Jodi will have to accept responsibility for ruining Stephanie's life.'

2	Outrage After Melania Trump Caught Doing THIS At Midnight Mass Once again, First Lady Melania Trump has become the target of liberal outrage for doing virtually nothing. This time, Democrats are upset that she wore a mini dress to a midnight mass service in Florida on Christmas. Daily Mail reported that Melania was photographed arriving at the Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea at about 10:30 PM on Christmas Eve with her husband, President-Elect Donald Trump. The two had married in the same church eleven years before. Melania was reportedly wearing a miniskirt and high heels as she spoke to the minister outside of the church. It didnt take long for classless liberals to begin attacking Melania on social media, claiming she looked like an escort. Of courses, this is in direct opposition to their usual rhetoric about not slut-shaming someone. Throughout Trumps presidential campaign, Melania was repeatedly attacked for being a former model and an attractive woman. Its amazing that they would attack a woman for showing her faith by going to churchwhich many of them declined to do themselves. What do you think? Will Melania be a First Lady than Michelle ever was? 
3	The Obama Family Goes on a Much-Needed VacationAgainKimberly Paxton Since then, the President has been busy trying to browbeat other countries into turning over Ed Snowden and spending a great deal of time involving himself in the case of George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin. Its hard work being the driving force behind an assault on privacy while also maintaining a position as the Race-Baiter-in-Chief. The First Lady must also be exhausted. After all, she threw a joint party on the 4th of July for her daughters birthday and for Independence Day. The entertaining duties didnt stop there, as she threw a Kids State Dinner after she selected the winner of a healthy recipe contest that the kids had participating. So, after that whirlwindits off to the posh island retreat of Marthas Vineyard. In the past the Obamas stayed at Blue Heron Farm, where the rental of the house itself was $50,000 per week. His 11-day stay will require the Coast Guard to keep ships floating near Obamas farm, a presidential helicopter and jet at the ready and security agents on 24-hour duty. Armored SUVs dubbed war wagons have been flown in to carry the presidential family around the island. The real issue here, however, is that the Obamas are off enjoying a luxurious vacation while Its hard to imagine how they can sleep on their soft, fluffy, very expensive pillows, while much of America tosses and turns, kept awake by unsolvable financial worries. Its hard to imagine how they can enjoy their fine cuisine and expensive drinks while Americans root through the garbage, or simply go without eating a meal or so per day. And yet, the Obama family seems cheerfully oblivious to the plight of the working poor in their country. Although this kind of elitist behavior seemed to end poorly in France for Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI, it seems that once again, the First Family is flipping the bird to the working class in much the same let them eat cake manner. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	BREAKING: Ted Cruz Introduces New Constitutional Amendment Almost one month ago, Sen. Ted Cruz promised to do his part to drain the swamp in Washington by introducing a term limit legislation in Congress. Donald Trump has talked about a measure like this for quite some timeand on the first day of the 115th Congress, Cruz took action. Today @RepDeSantis and I introduced a Constitutional amendment to impose #TermLimits on members of Congress, Cruz wrote on social media. His U.S. Senate website also posted the following announcement: U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) today proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to impose term limits on members of Congress. The amendment would limit U.S. senators to two six-year terms and members of the U.S. House of Representatives to three two-year terms. D.C. is broken, said Sen. Cruz. The American people resoundingly agreed on Election Day, and President-elect Donald Trump has committed to putting government back to work for the American people. It is well past time to put an end to the cronyism and deceit that has transformed Washington into a graveyard of good intentions. Cruz continued: The time is now for Congress, with the overwhelming support of the American people, to submit this constitutional amendment to the states for speedy ratification. With control of a decisive majority of the states, the House of Representatives, and the Senate, we have a responsibility to answer the voters call-to-action. We must deliver. Term limits are the first step towards reforming Capitol Hill, said Rep. DeSantis. Eliminating the political elite and infusing Washington with new blood will restore the citizen legislature that our Founding Fathers envisioned. The American people have called for increased accountability and we must deliver. Senator Cruz has been instrumental in efforts to hold Congress accountable, and I look forward to working with him to implement term limits. The idea of term limits for Congress has been widely accepted and supported by the American people. According to a Rasmussen survey conducted in October, 74 percent of those surveyed approved term limits. Cruz and DeSantis amendment introduced in the Senate was co-sponsored by Sens. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), and David Perdue (R-Ga.). What do you think of Cruzs proposal? 
2	Liberals Are Attacking Bill OReilly After He Does THIS On Live TV For All Of America To See [VIDEO] Last week, Senate Republicans worked to advance legislation to cut funding to sanctuary cities that dont cooperate with federal immigration laws. Included in the proposal was Kates Law which seeks to implement mandatory minimum sentences for criminal illegal immigrants who return to the country after being deported. Not surprisingly, Democrats blocked the bill. And Fox News Bill OReilly had a lot to say about that. There comes a point where the American people are going to have to take back their government, OReilly told his viewers. When a 32-year-old woman can be gunned down by an illegal felon who had been deported five times, and you cant get a strict law punishing illegal alien felons passed, you dont have a functioning government. Watch the full clip below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with OReilly? Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com 
1	ULAAN BAATAR, MONGOLIAFed up with the way men and women 'sabotage perfectly good relationships by failing to communicate,' a local yak made a public plea Tuesday for greater understanding between the sexes. A local yak says that men and women often speak entirely different languages. 'Men and women need to work at bridging the gap between them,' said the yak, speaking from a flooded rice plain near Ulaan Baatar. 'Most people are very good at hearing, but lousy at listening.' 'I hear people say all the time, 'I'm giving everything to this relationship, but I'm getting nothing back,'' said the yak, slathering himself in mud to cool off from the midday sun. 'When I hear that, I think to myself, 'Well, then, don't keep giving!' Would you buy a lottery ticket if there were no drawing? Well, that's exactly what so many people are doing.' Though the yak believes both men and women need to improve their relationship skills, he said women are often all too tolerant of men who are bad for them. 'A guy could be a controlling, insensitive, selfish, two-timing jerk, but a lot of women will still give him a second, third and fourth chance,' the yak said. 'Well, when Prince Charming keeps turning into a toad, kiss him goodbye. Recycling is for garbage.' The yak is currently working on the follow-up to his 1995 best-seller, You Just Don't Understand! 15 Stupid Things Men and Women Do To Ruin Perfectly Good Relationships. 
3	CDC whistleblower: Oh My Godwhat we didJon Rappoport The devastating and explosive complaint concerns scientific misconduct in a now-infamous 2004 CDC study, which gave the MMR vaccine a free pass and concluded the vaccine had no connection to autism. CDC whistleblower William Thompson was a co-author on that study, and on August 27 he admitted he and his co-authors committed fraud and covered up the vaccine-autism connection. (The full 34-page complaint can also be accessed via Age of Autism, here) The complaint references a 5/24/14 phone call between whistleblower Thompson and Brian Hooker. The call was recorded. Thompson references one aspect of the fraud, a group of children with isolated autism, who were at higher risk of developing autism after receiving the MMR vaccinethe true data on these children were intentionally omitted from the study. Thompson says to Hooker: the effect [autism] is where you would think it would happen. It is with the kids without other conditions [isolated autism]Im just looking at this and Im like Oh my God.I cannot believe we did what we didbut we did [bury the data on these children]Its all thereIts all there. I have handwritten notes. Concerning the overall fraud he committed in the 2004 study, Thompson states, in another phone conversation with Brian Hooker, I have a boss whos asking me to lieHigher ups wanted to do certain things and I went along with it. In terms of command, I was 4 out of 5. Thompson named several of those higher ups. They were his co-authors on the 2004 study: Coleen Boyle, Marshalyn Yeargin-Allsop, and Frank Destefano. In other words, those co-authors were among those who wanted Thompson to commit fraud. This is highly significant, because Destefano and Boyle are not merely researchers. They are also high-ranking executives at the CDC, in the area of vaccinesdirector of the Immunization Safety Office (Destefano) and director of the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (Boyle). As the complaint states, Thompson wrote a note to the head of the CDC at the time (2004), Julie Gerberding. He was very nervous about a presentation he was due to make at a large Institute of Medicine vaccine-autism meeting. Thompson wrote: I will have to present several problematic results relating to statistical associations between receipt of the MMR vaccine and autism. Thompson was considering blowing the whistle, in public. Gerberding never answered his note. Thompson did not make his presentation. But we know this. After Gerberding stepped down as head of the CDC in 2009, she went to work for Merck, assuming the position of president of Merck Vaccines. Merck manufactures the MMR vaccine. That was, of course, the vaccine at the center of the whole 2004 fraud at the CDC. The vaccine whose connection to autism was buried. To say this merging of facts is explosive is a vast understatement. But the major media, who will report and trumpet flimsy scandals with great enthusiasm, have instituted and maintained a total blackout on this one. Can they begin to imagine what parents of children who received the MMR vaccine, and then developed autism, think and feel about all this?

2	After This Evil Babysitter Made A Baby Eat THIS, Shes Going To JailHopefully For A Long Time An Arizona woman was babysitting her boyfriends child. But it turns out, this woman was totally unfit to be taking care of anyones kid. To punish the young girl, she forced her to eat feces. Nicole Candelaria was arrested and charged with child abuse. Bruises were found on the childs chest, back and sides when Candelaria was arrested. After she spent 6 days with her father and Candelaria, the little girl returned to her mother. There, she confessed that Nicole had beaten her and made her to eat her own feces after she accidentally defecated in the bathtub during a bath. In court, it was established that Candelaria held the 3-year-old girl down on the toilet seat and stuffed soap down her mouth after forcing her to eat feces. She developed bruises on her from the rough way that Candelaria pinned the little girl to the toilet. The little girls 5-year-old sister also said that Candelaria had done something very similar. Candelaria denies it all, but the court isnt buying it. How long should she spend in jail as punishment for her crime? 
2	Killary Tries To Ruin Gowdy For Investigating Her, Quickly Realized She Just Detonated A Ticking Time Bomb Lately, it seems like Congressman Trey Gowdys investigation into Hillary Clintons many crimes is a never-ending battle against a corrupt system. There is no question that Hillary and her team keep placing obstacles in Gowdys path. Trey has been notably frustrated at times, but it appears he is beginning to get under Hillarys skin. Leaked emails from Hillarys adviser John Podesta prove that. In one correspondence, Podesta suggested a pathetic joke for Hillary to recite at the hearing. On freshening things up, what about: I used to be obsessed with Donald Trumps hairthat was until I got to spend 11 hours staring at the top of Trey Gowdys head, Podesta wrote. Philippe Reines, Hillarys adviser when she was Secretary of State, sent out another email claiming Gowdy doesnt know what to do, to get out of the jam of his own making. She wants to come, he wants the documents, Reines continues. Important to continue to note that no toher Republican (Member of Congress), the (Republican National Committee), or commentator has even once echoed Gowdys demand for two hearings. Everyone but Gowdy knows its a loser. What do you think of these exchanges?

'Man, I've been doing the damn thing for 19 years, but somehow the plight of the American farmer slipped my mind this year,' Nelson said. 'We'll never get a venue by September now.' Nelson added that John Mellencamp or Neil Young could've called to remind him. 
1	After a lifetime dedicated to finding a cure for cancer, absent-minded Johns Hopkins University professor Humbert E. Huggins reports that a 100 percent effective cure for cancer exists and is somewhere in his home, 'probably in this big pile of papers or the one in the hall closet.' Prof. Humbert E. Huggins has looked all over his office, but has not yet been able to find the cure for cancer. He believes the key to eradicating the disease may lie 'in a big box under my dining room table.' The cure, involving 'smart enzymes' that locate and surround cancerous and anaplastic cells, effectively 'suffocating' them, was the result of 28 years of research by the comically forgetful Huggins and his cancer research team at Johns Hopkins. Sorting through a three-foot-high stack of papers in his living room, Huggins said of the revolutionary cure, 'I remember sticking something in here a couple of days ago... I think it might have been the cure.' 'Hundreds of thousands of experimental solutions over the last three decades were tested on laboratory mice that were infected with cancer,' said team member Patricia Graves. 'When 15 batches of mice suddenly went into dramatic remission, we knew we had struck medical gold. Regrettably, the brilliant but addle-pated Professor Huggins was at that time reviewing the records of the study in his home.' As of press time, Huggins had yet to locate the three sheets of white notebook paper listing the precise formulations for test solutions BEC-32916 through 32930, though he stressed he was 'retracing all my steps of the last few days.' The simplicity of the materials used ensured that when mass-produced in pill form, the cure would cost only four cents for a weekly dose. Huggins said he intends to place the cure into the public domain to guarantee the global eradication of cancer within five years. He further added it is possible that the cure is in one of the blue binders that used to be on the shelf above his television and is now somewhere else. 'This is quite possibly the greatest breakthrough in medical history,' Huggins said. 'And it is quite possibly in one of the boxes under the dining room table.' The Nobel Foundation said yesterday that Huggins is automatically nominated for two Nobel Prizes in Medicine, one for finding the cancer cure and one if he finds it again. 'He lost the [cancer] cure?' said team member Dr. Stephen Blake upon learning of the missing documents. 'How could he lose the [cancer] cure?' Added Blake, 'What a [forgetful professor].' The medical community is rejoicing at the discovery of the cure, wherever it may be. 'This discovery, as soon as it is discovered again, will surely awaken a new age for medicine,' says Harvard University researcher Dr. Henry Caldwell. 'Imagine a future in which those diagnosed with cancer will have only to go to the drugstore and pay a dollar for their cure. Whenever this future arrives, I hope it is soon. Has Professor Huggins looked in the back seat of his car? Because a lot of times I leave stuff there.' Huggins does not own a car, because when he did own one, his absent-minded condition caused him to lose his keys constantly. He has traveled to and from work by bus for the past 12 years. 'Jeez,' Huggins said, 'I didn't leave it on the bus, did I?' Even more than the medical community, the millions of cancer sufferers around the world are excited by the new breakthrough. 'Well, how hard is he looking?' said 15-year-old brain cancer patient Caryn Williams, who stands to live many decades longer given the cure. 'How big is this house of his?' 'Actually, now that I think of it, it might be back at the office,' Huggins said. 'I remember bringing one of my leather satchels there with a bunch of papers that were under my bed. But then where did I put it?' Huggins has not ruled out the possibility that other, non-cancerous diseases can be cured with certain strains of the cancer cure or that the cure is in his basement, where many of his important papers are stored. Anyone with leads to the location of the cure is asked to contact Professor Huggins at the university. He is not accepting calls asking where he last saw the cure. 'That's what I'm trying to remember,' he said. 
1	Audience members at Saturday's self-help lecture series 'Success 1-2-3' were shocked to discover that professional motivational speaker Martin Vaughan was not always the well-dressed, successful man standing onstage, but was once, in fact, 'just like [them].' Vaughan shares a humorous anecdote that establishes both his humanity, his common touch, and his resolve to rise above and succeed! 'I couldn't believe ithere's this guy wearing a three-piece suit and speaking to literally hundreds of people, and I find out he was sitting in my position only six years ago,' said attendee Patrick Dwyer, who admitted he was skeptical of Vaughan's claims until hearing that Vaughan was, at one time, also skeptical. 'I figured I'd never have anything in common with such a confident go-getter, but then he said he used to be unhappy and unmotivated, and I thought, 'That sounds exactly like me!'' 'The only logical conclusion is that if I do everything this man tells me, I will find the same success he found,' said Dwyer. 'I'm going to start today!' Vaughan made the astonishing confession only moments into his speech, surprising many in the crowd who, as Vaughan accurately predicted, were expecting 'another CEO who has had everything handed to him on a silver platter.' But Vaughan's admission and authoritative hand gestures convinced a majority of attendees that he was just as down-to-earth as he said he was. 'Who would have thought someone as desperate for answers as me could relate to a man who has his picture on the cover of [his] book?' said unemployed school administrator Angela Rivers, who noted that Vaughan's brief anecdote about getting frustrated at the post office made him seem 'like a real person.' 'And how could he have known I was sick and tired of always doing the same things and achieving the same dead-end results?' After stunning the audience with his frank and unsolicited revelation of past failures, the 42-year-old self-employed owner of a motivational-speaking company began an inspirational slide show featuring photographic proof of his newfound authority and prestige. 'Just as I was beginning to think, 'Hey, I didn't come all the way down here to see someone who's just as unsuccessful as I am,' he showed us a picture of his boat, and it was one fancy boat,' said Phil DeTolve, 29, who bought his $40 ticket to Saturday's lecture before realizing today would be the day he would stop making excuses. 'I thought, 'Wow! I wish there was some kind of foolproof method I could follow for setting personal goals and choosing winning strategies so that I could own a boat like that some day.' It turns out there is!' Later in the lecture, Vaughan went so far as to risk his own position in the business world by revealing three secrets every millionaire already knows. 'Now that I know successful people make both long- and short-term personal goals, there's nothing I can't accomplish,' said Joshua Dillon, 47, who was eager to read the remaining two secrets only available in Vaughan's newly released book. 'To think that I could have gone through life without ever knowing that I needed to visualize my tomorrow. What a mistake that would have been!' Dillon then removed a pad and paper from his back pocket and wrote 'Maximize Time' on the first blank page. One audience member particularly inspired by Vaughan's story was Helen Kirby, mother of three, who felt honored Vaughan would take the time to personally tailor his speech to her specifically, as someone who is 'looking for that perfect job, spouse, home, or special other thing that will complete [her] life.' 'I thought Martin [Vaughan] would be some kind of hard-hearted capitalist incapable of sharing the same hopes and frustrations that I do,' said Kirby. 'But then he explained how he went from working in a JCPenney store to having dinner once with Vivica A. Fox using his method of focused positivity, and I was beside myself: I used to have a dead-end job, and Vivica A. Fox is in several movies I've seen. He might as well be my brother!' After the lecture concluded, the exhilarated audience members filed out of the conference room, only to be inspired once again, this time by the fact that a wildly successful motivational speaker was not too high-and-mighty to sell his own book in the hotel lobby. 
3	Intel Chief: Truthful Reporting On US Corruption Is Part Of Russian Conspiracy Hints at Act of WarBy Claire Bernish Hacking was only part of it. It also entailed classical propaganda, disinformation, and fake news. This heavy-handed and multifaceted Russian campaign attempted to undermine the United States, Clapper asserted, and although these Russian hackers did not manage to infiltrate any voting machines or tamper with the vote count there would be no way for the U.S. Intelligence Community to assess the total impact on the election. Stopping a hairs breadth from calling this campaign an act of war, Clapper posited, Whether or not that constitutes an act of war. I think, is a very heavy policy call that I dont think the intelligence community should make and then added, It certainly would carry, in my view, great gravity. NSA Director Adm. Mike Rogers and undersecretary of defense for intelligence, Marcel Lettre, also testified on reports of Russian interference in the election but testimony by Clapper, and questions from the committee, eerily echoed sessions with Senator Joseph McCarthy during the first Red Scare in the 1950s. Acknowledging the United States and other allies routinely engage in espionage, Clapper explained of Russias operation, I dont think weve ever encountered a more aggressive or direct campaign to interfere in our election process than weve seen in this case. For all of this posturing about Russian meddling with computer systems of the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clintons campaign chair John Podesta, among others, intelligence officials have not aligned behind the allegation a fact which has garnered condemnation and outright ridicule. Indeed, several current and former intelligence officials as well as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange have vehemently denigrated the theory documents provided to the publishing organization had been attained by hackers at all. Rather, agreeing with Assange no State actor forked over the damning documents, some in the intelligence community believe evidence points to a disgruntled insider. To wit, Clappers testimony spoke to a report forthcoming next week, purported to evince the Russian campaign theory, but will only show the conclusions reached by the NSA, FBI, and CIA not every agency said to comprise the entirety of the intelligence community. I think the public should know as much about this as possible, he said of the report. We will be as forthcoming as we can, but there are some sensitive and fragile sources and methods here. Clapper, the outgoing Obama administration, and the corporate press have conflated independent, right-leaning, and alternative media outlets with both Russian propaganda and Fake News without evidence to back the claims a tactic surmised by many to eschew blame for the lost election and distract from enmity and corruption revealed in the contents of the leaks. Particularly targeted for reporting the truth by this anti-Russia propagandizing has been state-run outlet RT, about which Clapper contended, RT was very active in promoting a particular point of view, disparaging our system, our alleged hypocrisy about human rights, etc. Whatever crack, fissure they could find in our tapestry, they would exploit it. Of course, as a U.S. official, Clapper is duly obligated not to admit to governmental wrongdoing; however, his seething admonishment of RT and surreptitious allegation that independent media outlets published only fake reports and purposely slanted misinformation is not only wholly false, it dangerously portends a crackdown on Americas free press. In fact, Clapper went so far as to call for a return to the official U.S. propaganda machine, the United States Information Agency, which churned out pro-American news items from 1953, during the fury of the Red Scare, through 1999, when it transformed into the Broadcasting Board of Governors. We could do with having a USIA on steroids to fight this information war a lot more aggressively than were doing right now, Clapper ironically lamented, or perhaps addressing that Obama signed measures similar to the agencys mission into law in the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act. Notably, the intelligence director tellingly described the Russian interference as an activist effort to subvert American democracy suggesting the press might not be the only target the government has in its sights. But the fact the U.S. intelligence communities have painted truthful, accurate reporting by independent media with the broad Red Scare brush simply because egregious nastiness revealed in authentic documents is too unpleasant to acknowledge proves why the fictitious narrative of Fake News threatens dissent, itself. If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it, Joseph Goebbels, Adolf Hitlers chief propagandist notoriously but accurately stated. 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. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Clapper is a God Damn traitor who belongs at the end of a rope. I dont know which one is worse, Clapper the talking puppet or Brennan the Muslim traitor. Cut off the head and the body dies. but its a hydra Not for long. Were totally winning at this point. I wish we were winning at this point, but when I go to work, or the store, or wherever, I still see the same old same old hell-in-a-hand basket mentality all around me. smh I see it to. Its unbelievable how deep in denial people are. I give people flyers for my advocacy organization promoting awareness of the fact that six types of bees have just been placed on the Endangered Species List and most people could care less. I say if we lose bees its gonna go from Mad Max to Soylent Green and they have no interest ! Im still optimistic in spite of how pathetic the public still is because Ive been awake since 1983 and the difference in the level of understanding by intelligent people is HUGE-ENORMOUS. People are waking up exponentially and theres no going back. You cant unlearn an idea. Like Roger Stone said to AJ you cant put the toothpaste back in the tube. Please visit my website: ARFEP. ORG Would you buy a used car from this man? (lol) I would not even sell him my used car. Id sell him a used goat. It might spare some little boy Russian hackers did not manage to infiltrate any voting machines or tamper with the vote count His bosses told him to say these things. If a bunch of people (a few thousand) dont got to jail with Hellary leading the way Trump is in on it. exactly. His globalist masters are pulling his strings. and this is exactly why I dont vote any longer. Trump is as anti-establishment as the sky is made of whiskey. /sarc This plan, by now, is so old its becoming transparent, and yet people dont want to see what their eyes are showing them, dont want to hear what their ears are listening to, and dont know what their hearts are telling them. Unfortunately, all these blind followers of party/state/leader/king/president/whatever the heck will willingly, or unwittingly, take the rest of us down with them. Ah, well. Peace. Says little Mara the dirty RT troll More goat worshiper propaganda. I hope his desk is cleaned out. Trump is not going to indulge him with extra time to get out. Heads are going to roll at the CIA as soon as Trump is sworn in. Trumps saying the same things JFK did about 6 months before he was iced. I can see why Trump has his own private body guards now. Trump is going to play ball, just like all the rest, or indeed he will be treated like JFK. Trump is just another puppet-dictator at the beck and call of Netanyahu and the people he answers to. Trumps money is a drop in the bucket; hes very pro-Patriot Act, pro-Israhell. He doesnt talk about re-opening the 9/11 investigation, and his campaign, like Obongos, was heavy on buzz words (Make America Great Again anyone?). Pikes 3rd World War is right around the corner, maybe a little behind schedule, but all the pieces seem to be in place and check-mate is in sight. Its a convenient attitude you got there it allows you to criticize others while doing nothing to change anything. No use fighting; theyve won anyway ya ya ya Its called the cowards way out. I dont know where you see cowardice in my statement of the obvious unless youre projecting your own fears onto me. I mean, if you feel voting is going to change anything for the better, by all means knock yourself out. Just because I dont blindly follow a leader-type doesnt make me any more or less brave/cowardly than anyone, at least Ive got enough cajones to state an obvious truth. Ill go to my grave fighting this system if I have to, but the writings on the wall: the end game is near. I just dont think it means that TPTB have won, but they are currently winning. You can read into it whatever you want, Mr. Burke. How you interpret what I wrote is up to you. Peace. Yeah, never mind. I was merely projecting. If you can see no difference between war with Russia (guaranteed under HiLIARy) and peace with Russia, stay home whenever it pleases you to. Instead of trolling with your negativity, oh wise one, why dont you offer a creative suggestion? Just because Im smart enough NOT to participate in phony elections for phonies no person in their right mind would have nominated, what could I have done different to please you, oh Grand Poobah? Uh, no, Mike. Youre too smart for me! Indeed Yes it was Putin who registered 2 million dead people to vote for HitLIARy! I guess the days of Its Bushs fault are over. I guess the question is Whos the biggest Liar? HitLIARy, Odumbo, The real fake media, or the rest of the liars in DC? True; its now Russia ate my homework! I wish I still had kids in school! What a great Idea to have the kids tell there teacher. lol I know! Ill add to your list of facts. It is is clear that the Russians forced Hillary Clinton : 1. To say that anyone who didnt support her was deplorable. 2. To say that there are limitations on the 1st and 2nd Amendments. 3. To say that Americans will have to necessarily change their views on religion. 4. To hire thugs to disrupt Trumps rallies. Of course, Democrats had nothing to do with it. Whos the biggest Liar? HitLIARy, Odumbo, The real fake media, or the rest of the liars in DC? Answer: All the above. Throw in the Intelligence Communitys psy-op since Nov. 10th for good measure. Oh the truth is now the very root of conspiracy. Oh yes it is the enemy of the powers that be yeahand Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Nineteen Arabsoperating directed by a dead man from a cavewith box cuttersdemolished the most advanced air-defense system in the world on 911. FDR had no idea Pearl Harbor was going to be attacked. Ohand lets not forget thatno one is listening on, or recording millions of Americans private phone and email traffic. James Clapper needs to be removed from office, charged and convicted for treason, as well as crimes against humanitythen hanged. Spouting right down the globalist agenda. He makes a good puppet. Ironic, isnt it, that not a word about the truth exposed by the thousands of emails Hillary so carelessly sent by her compromised computer. Instead, the lawless government draws focus to a Russian hack . Damage control brought this on folks. The truth in the emails is the issue, not who hacked. I hope President Trump will continue exposing the truth learned: Hillary did not win against Bernie Sanders, Hillary did not do anything to protect our Benghazi embassy under attack, and the Hillary/Obama cover-up was intentional to hide the fact that gun-running through Benghazi created what we now call ISIS. I didnt see any proof of Putin having intent? Also ironic, if the rigging and fraud that went on in the HRC campaign were investigated and vote counts adjusted, Trump would certainly have won the popular vote. CLAP ON!! CLAP OFF!! THE CLAPPER!! Clap OFF, is right. ;9)B Its telling that no one has denied the truth of the content of Podestas emails. Nor has the Intelligence Community provided evidence beyond reports and summaries. There is no evidence. BULLSH!T I dont trust a SINGLE WORD ANYBODY in this corrupt administration says, they all want America destroyed for their globalist agendaThey are ALL traitors, and should hang from the lamp posts. As brief as it was, at least the avoidance of the content of the emails was addressed. That needs to be brought out center stage. The Dems are winning the conversation on that point. I place little to no value in what Clapper had to say. Mainly because he is from our undoubtedly corrupt government and a member 17, an ungodly amount of security agencies who need to justify their existence when they repeatedly FAIL in protecting security and preventing enemy combatants from immigrating in Obamas TROJAN HORSE refugee program. Do I need to remind ALL OF US about the FBIs terrorist ENTRAPMENT SCHEMES? What, a total of 26 now? How about the continuing COINTELPRO programs taking place in Nevada and Oregon? (Dont tell me you thought that was over just because they said it was?) You know what pisses off the CIA. then a drug lords activities interferes with the profits of the CIAs own drug program. You know what pisses of the government? When the truth machine of whistle blowers bell ringers and of course HACKERS who reveal the TRUTH breaks the propaganda of the government and the globalists they are serving. Didnt this past perjurer say a few weeks ago he didnt have any evidence of Russian hacking? Now all of a sudden hes got a cyber coup. He really is as evil and as funked in the head as he looks. Would you buy a car from a guy who looked like THAT?! He, Obunghole, Biden, LYNCH(!), Herman Kerry leaving will be a good first draining of the swamp these scum help create. Can anyone wonder why President Trump doesnt trust US intelligence?!?! His time is up! Part of the draining swamp issue! Gee, how about the crime cabal in DC try running some people who do not have all these high crimes which they are trying to keep secret. Even if the Russians did the hack, which they did not, why is telling the truth about one of the candidates pedophile activity, bribe taking, murder, international war crimes, a problem. It would seem that the Head of the snake does not want the people to know that the minions of the crime cabal are evil, bloodsucking, crime ridden vermin. The question then becomes, not who told the truth, but why the criminal cow has not been arrested and charged. The chutzpah of people Like Clapper is astonishing. How he has the gall to sit before any governmental body, or any other group of people, and give testimony to anything of importance after bald face lying to congress that the NSA was not spying on the American people (among others) takes the cake. Why anyone would believe a word Clapper speaks without ironclad evidence and backed by a least some other persons with at least untrammelled credibility to their names would seem the least reasonable course of action. Of course if the body in question, in this case the Senate, needs to hear lying Clapper and take his blather at face value because it helps their own position then we have to come to the conclusion they are all in it together. These people have some very hard salt on them and are up to their necks in criminality. The entirety of American governance is so rotten to the core with corruption the whole structure needs to be overhauled from top to bottom and all these criminals brought to trial under completely new management with a new code of laws to govern them. An example would be that all lobbyists would have to make full public disclosure of any of their dealings with anyone associated with the government under pain of fine and lengthy prison sentences for themselves and the head of any organization or corporation they are acting on behalf of. In actuality it may be beyond saving and the whole of societal structure may need a revamp as class warfare has gotten out of hand. This treasonist shall receive what he reaps. Fabricated information and fake news by a high federal official are Internal sabotage against the nation. President Trump, the ball is in your court on January 20th. I guess that Russia did it is the new my dog ate my homework. If one needed someone to tell them the truth and your choices were from Clapper ,Obama, D.Chaney who would you choose ????? Batman 
1	After losing tight-end Dennis Pitta to a season-ending injury, the Baltimore Ravens offense suffered another major blow Monday as team sources confirmed that quarterback Joe Flacco had lined up under center. I saw Joe calling signals and stepping up to the line andwell, obviously your stomach just kinda drops when you see something like that, said head coach John Harbaugh, who acknowledged that the team now has a major void to fill at quarterback. Of course well try to find a way to recover from what happened today, but right now I know the whole team is feeling completely demoralized. The team reportedly sustained yet another crippling setback when Joe Flacco received the snap. 
2	When Norway Finally Deported Millions Of Muslims, This AMAZING Thing Happened To Their Country Some soft, idealistic liberal types have thrown a tantrum over Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trumps plan to ban all Muslims from entering the U.S. until we can figure what is going on with them and ISIS. Would you want to roll out a red carpet for America-hating terrorists? Well, these Democrats like Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren want to do just that. Didnt we learn anything from September 11th? Or what about the Paris attacks? How naive can these Democrats be? Its great that Norway had the courage to stand up to foolish liberals and enact its own plan to stop radical Islam in that countryand its turning out to be a huge success that other countries like the United States need to follow. Norway has been aggressively deporting all Muslims with ties to radical Islam and terror groups. And you know what happened? Crime went down by 31%. Hard to argue with that! Yet these spineless, backwards liberal groups keep clamoring for this programs end. They say its unfair and that these Muslims rights should be protected. Can you believe this? I think actual Norwegians deserve to be protected. Is it fair for Norwegians to be subjected to 31% more crime when these violent, Christianity-hating Muslims are around? NO! We need to listen to Donald Trump and enact his wife planits the only way Americans are going to stay safe during this age of extremist Islam. 
3	International Fact-Checking Network: New Worldwide Ministry of Truth?By Makia Freeman Those aware of the current psychological operations will know that the entire Russian propaganda and fake news themes are stealthy ways for the establishment to stifle dissent. They are whipping the public into a frenzy about purported Russian hacking and Russian interference without a shred of credible evidence, all the while scaring people into thinking they need some independentarbiter (outside of themselves) to decipher and decide what is real and what is fake. Its the ultimate perception grab; they want you to hand over your power and let your perception be dictated by them. Now, Facebook has announced it will be usingtheInternational Fact-Checking Network and other 3rdparty fact-checking organizationsto weed out all thefake news. Is theInternational Fact-Checking Network poised to become some kind of Ministry of Truth as Orwell wrote about? Who funds the organization and how does its check its facts? The IFCN openly states that it ishosted bythe Poynter Institute for Media Studies, and that: Poynters IFCN has received funding from the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, the Duke Reporters Lab, the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation, Google, the National Endowment for Democracy, the Omidyar Network, the Open Society Foundations and the Park Foundation. TheInternational Fact-Checking Networkhas come up witha code of 5principles by which it operates.Facebook saidit will only work with 3rdparty fact-checkers that are signatories to this code of principles, and thatonce one of these organizations decides that a particularstory is fake, it will beflagged as disputed andthere will be a link to the corresponding article explaining why. Stories that have been disputed may also appear lower in News Feed.Here are the 5 principles: Facebook has made it a prerequisite to be a signatory on this code of principles to become a Facebook fact-checker. However, on the very same page below the code of principles, there is a list of organizations that have already joined. They include ABC News and The Washington Post Fact Checker 2 MSM outlets. The Washington Post was the paper that started all the nonsense about Russian propaganda with its own fake news report based on the dodgy research of PropOrNot (a report it later retracted)! Politifact and Snopes are also on the list, and although they are not MSM, their reputations are already quite tarnished due to their past shoddy fact-checking. Does the group of NWO funders behind Poynter give you the impression that the International Fact-Checking Network will be independent? Moreover, even if they were granted some kind ofeditorialindependence by their funders, would theyhave the desire and ability to become arbiters of truth on massive and complex subjects like GMOs, the New World Order, geoengineering, worldwide pedophilia rings, conspiracy and Satanism? How are they going to fact-check statements like GMOs are not dangerous tohuman health, vaccines are safe and effective, there is no worldwide Satanic pedophilia ring, chemtrails do not exist, Morgellons disease does not exist, black military operations oversee mind control programs on the public and an interconnected web of hybrid bloodlines rules the world from behind the scenes? Since many current topics lead back to fundamental issues like these, how are they possibly going to shed any light on these vast topics? How can anyone expect them to be experts in these fields? How are they going to be able to do anything other than parrot the standard narrative on these topics, which they will get from some form of the MSM or mainstream science the very same sources which advocate toxic-laden vaccines and synthetic pharmaceutical drugs as good for your health? How are they are possibly going to have the scope, breadth and depth of vision and perception that comes from studying these topics in depth for decadesas many in the Alternative Media have? Some commentators and journalists are making this issue into a left vs. right affair, claiming that the fact-checkers are left, liberal or progressive in their political leanings. While its true that Soros funds leftist movements, this whole issue is not really about left vs. right. Its about free speech vs. censorship. The fact-checkers will of course have all sorts of biases in their viewpoints, which is whyall opinionsneed to be fully aired so the truth can rise to the surface. Imagine if everyone looked at every Internet story from the MSM and the Alternative Media alike and asked with a critical eye: wheres your evidence and what are your sources? There would be no need for fact-checkers, because every reader would become a fact-checker. It would also destroy government lies right from the start (the Russians are hacking us and the Zika virus will kill you), because they would never get a chance to take off. The only way out of this is education. The only way people can know the truth is to read widely, inform themselves about the issues, discuss it over and over, get new perspectives, test things out in their own experience and make up their own mind. Blocking news stories and alternative perspectives will only hamper this (but then, censorship is the whole point of this exercise). Yes, hoax stories are annoying and clickbait headlines are irritating, but atsome point, you have to trust that readers will begin to see through that crap and consciously choose which sites to read and which to shun. If a site keeps putting out lies and clickbait, at a certain point it will gain a negative reputation and get ostracized. Collectively, we have to grow up and not expect or call for governments and other organizations like theInternational Fact-Checking Networkto do our fact-checking for us. We have to do it ourselves. It is part of our spiritual journey to be able to mature to the point where we can discern truth from lies. When enough of us can do that, the world will know peace, for as Julian Assange says, if lies are used to start war, then truth can be used to start peace. ***** Want the latest commentaryand analysis on Conspiracy, Geopolitics, Natural Health, Sovereignty, Consciousness and more?

1	In response to Brigham Young basketball player Brandon Davies' suspension from the Cougar squad for having premarital sex with his girlfriend, his fellow students have taken to their school's campus en masse, protesting the player's expulsion by engaging in flagrant public sex. 'While Davies may have violated the honor code, that code has nothing to do with 'honor' at all,' BYU sophomore Clayton Ross said Wednesday as he vigorously penetrated his girlfriend, sophomore Amanda Hesketh, beneath the bronze statue of school founder and namesake Brigham Young. 'It has more to do with an attitude of moral control on the part of the university that we findunhhthat we find distrustful and distasteful and, oh my God, oh my God. Amanda!' 'Wow,' an exhausted Ross continued. 'Anyway, that's why we're out here doing this.' On the evening of Mar. 1, BYU officials announced that Davies, a promising sophomore center, had been released from the basketball team, a decision that sent the shocked campus into an uproar. Within minutes, the campus was filled with demonstrating, groaning students engaged in sexual intercourse in support of Davies. Over the next week, students began organizing large-scale protest orgies via Twitter and Facebook, with a majority of the university's undergraduates gathering to fuck one another's brains out all day and all night on the campus's main quad, on the steps of the Smoot Administration Building, and throughout the BYU Museum of Art. At one point the entire football field at LaVell Edwards Stadium was covered in naked students close to, or achieving, climax. 'I'm sure Davies' teammates knew all about his relations with his girlfriend,' said business administration major Katherine Fagin as she rode her boyfriend, Daniel Samson, on the roof of the Spencer W. Kimball Tower. 'Nnnngh. Oh. Oh! Ahhh. But do you think they're going to suspend Jimmer Fredette for not reporting Davies? I doubt it.' BYU officials confirmed that students who are caught having sex on campus will be charged with honor-code violations in accordance with university bylaws, but they acknowledged the sheer number of students copulating in solidarity with Davies had made the situation unwieldy for proctors and resident assistants attempting to control the situation. 'There were an estimated 4,000 students having sex inside the performing arts center,' Associate Dean of Students Jonathan Kau said. 'So it's virtually impossible to establish any semblance of order. And the students are so absorbed in all the passionate sex they're having that they don't even pay attention when I try to stop them. I did call the police, who at one point tried to hose them down, but the students just seemed to like that more.' 'I am also somewhat concerned about their safety,' Kau added. 'Especially for the couple I saw engaged with each other against a full-length window in the Lee Library. I'm pretty sure sex standing up against a window is an honor-code violation, anyway.' University officials admitted that the round-the-clock demonstrations, which 'show absolutely no signs of slackening,' have been peaceful if occasionally vocal. No damage has been done to the school's facilities or buildings, and where gardens or lawns have been disturbed, students have reportedly tried to replace divots and remove any wrappers, used condoms, or other detritus. 'No one has missed class, no one has been hurt, and everything we've done has been out of principle,' junior class president Lucas Williams said from between the thighs of his girlfriend Marissa Haley on the north campus lawn. 'In fact, by most people's definition, everyone has acted honorably. All we want is for the administration to admit that and engage with us in a frank discussion of the honor code. Until then, we'll be out here every day. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, you bet we will. That's right. Yes.' While Davies remains suspended, he was present on the bench for the Cougars' home win against Wyoming last Saturday night, smiling as his team won a share of the Mountain West Conference championship in front of a jubilantly cheering and fucking crowd. 'It was really special to be there, even if I had to sit on the bench in street clothes between a guy getting blown and a couple of juniors watching the game while doing the reverse cowgirl,' said Davies, who was also allowed to cut down the net in a magnanimous decision by Coach Dave Rose that is sure to become controversial. 'And when all those fans rushed the court at the buzzer, tore off their clothes, and just started doing it all over the floorI kind of got misty, I admit it.' 'Now I want to come back worse than ever,' Davies added. 
3	Activists Prepare for 4th Global March Against MonsantoBy Derrick Broze The MAM movement was started in late 2012 in an effort to raise awareness to the potential dangers surrounding Monsantos genetically modified seeds, as well as the carcinogens present in the companys top herbicide, Roundup. Within the decentralized protests there are a range of solutions offered. Some activists are taking part in campaigns calling for labeling of all food products that have been genetically engineered. Others are marching in support of community gardens and urban farms as a strategy to defeat Monsanto. There are even marchers that are in support of the technology but wary of the collusion between biotech companies and the government. In September 2013 Ben Swann reported on Monsanto and Crony Capitalism: Also,Truth In Media recently reported on a group of scientists blowing the whistle on corruption at theU.S. Department of Agriculture. The letter highlights two issues with Monsanto. First,the increase in Genetically Engineered crops from Monsanto and other biotech companies has led to an increase in the use of pesticides and herbicides. Second, one of these herbicidesis Monsantos Roundup, which contains glyphosate. Earlier this year the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) publisheda reportin The Lancet Oncology detailing evaluations of organophosphate pesticides and herbicides. The report concluded thatthere was limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The evidence for this conclusion was pulled from studies of exposure to the chemical in the US, Canada and Sweden published since 2001. The researchers found convincing evidence that glyphosate can also cause cancer in laboratory animals. The report points out thatthe 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. Despite the WHOs findings, the EPA approved Monsantos use of glyphosate as recently as 2013. Monsanto Co. said the study was based on junk science and at odds with the global consensus on glyphosate. The scientists are standing by the work. Aaron Blair, a scientist emeritus at the National Cancer Institute and lead author of the study, told Reuters, In 2014 Anti-Media reported on astudypublished in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health which claims to have found a link between glyphosateand 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. Sri Lankas Minister of Special Projects S.M. Chandrasena stated thatPresident Mahinda Rajapaksa issued a directiveto ban glyphosate sales in the country. There is a growing resistance to Monsanto.Following the revelations from the WHO,aunion of 30,000 doctors and health professionals announced efforts to eliminate the use of glyphosate-based herbicides. Theres no question that March Against Monsanto is the most powerful grassroots initiative we have in the fight to reclaim our food supply from the GMO seed juggernaut known as the Monsanto Company, saidAnthony Gucciardi, March Against Monsanto speaker and founder of the natural health websiteNaturalSociety.com. With the new admission by the World Health Organization that Monsantos best-selling herbicide Roundup is causing cancer worldwide, now is the most important time to join the movement and take a stand. What are your thoughts on Genetically Engineered foods? What do you think about Monsanto? Leave your thoughts below. March Against Monsanto protests will begin May 23rd with extensive physical protests and related online coverage throughout the day on news media platforms as well aswww.March-Against-Monsanto.com.

3	Israels Chemical Weapons Stockpile Highlights Western HypocrisyBrandon Turbeville Syria and Iraqs possession of chemical WMDs have been considered to be situations warranting an immediate military response, while the possibility of a nuclear Iran is used to browbeat the American populace into a state of fear over a nuclear holocaust. Meanwhile, the possession of chemical and biological weapons, as well as hundreds of nuclear warheads by the state of Israel, has been simultaneously denied and ignored. Clearly, some Middle Eastern countries re more equal than others. Yet, while both Israel and the West have denied the existence of many of these weapons for some time, a recent article published by the official magazine of the Council on Foreign Relations, Foreign Policy, has demonstrated that Israel does indeed possess chemical and biological weapons, as well as its own nuclear stockpile. The report entitled Does Israel Have Chemical Weapons Too? revolves around a recently discovered document belonging to the Central Intelligence Agency which was apparently found by a friend of Matthew M. Aid, the author of the article, at the Ronald Reagan Library a single page had been stapled to an innocuous unclassified document. The page was attached to a September 15, 1983 report entitled Implications of Soviet Use of Chemical and Toxin Weapons for US Security Interests. According to Foreign Policy, But little, if any, hard evidence has ever been published to indicate that Israel possesses a stockpile of chemical or biological weapons. This secret 1983 CIA intelligence estimate may be the strongest indication yet. Indeed, according to the document, in 1982, spy satellites uncovered a probable CW [chemical weapon] nerve agent production facility and a storage facility at the Dimona Sensitive Storage Area in the Negev Desert. Other CW production is believed to exist within a well-developed Israeli chemical industry. The report also stated, Aid describes the level of knowledge regarding the Israeli chemical weapons by writing, There were also a series of leaks in the U.S. press which quoted several intelligence officials from the CIA stating that Israel actually possessed nuclear weapons, a known but unspoken fact even to this day. Aid writes, Still, the CIA kept an eye on what Israel was actually testing and experimenting with in the wastelands of the Negev desert. What was described as a probable CW nerve agent production facility and a storage facility was suspected to actually be located at the Dimona Sensitive Storage Area. Yet the CIA report does not describe exactly where this facility is located. Aid, however, in compiling his report for Foreign Policy did a little digging of his own and managed to come up with a possible location for the facility. He writes, While Aid writes that it is unknown whether or not Israel maintains the stockpile of chemical and biological weapons, the fact is that if Israel did not continue to possess and maintain such weapons, it would be an abrupt change of position and procedure. Indeed, while Aid can only concede that the US intelligence community had suspicions about this stockpile for decades, and that the U.S. government kept mum about Israels suspected possession of chemical weapons just as long, Israel has given the international and intelligence community more than enough reason to believe that it does, in fact, possess these chemical and biological weapons. Aid himself writes that the Israeli government has a well-known penchant for preserving any asset thought to be needed for the defense of the state of Israel, regardless of the cost or possible diplomatic ramifications. In fact, the list of Israeli usage of chemical weapons against Palestinians is quite long, going as far back as 1948 and as recently as at least 2004. Regardless of the lack of information surrounding the location of the weapons facility and the actual knowledge the CIA or other government agencies may have of the Israeli chemical weapons agenda, one thing is clear there will be no red lines drawn in the sand over this particular program.

3	Crouching China, Hidden AgendaBy Austrian Markets Makes no sense, you clearly dont know what youre talking about. 
1	Despite being a fan of the visionary director's entire film catalog, local 29-year-old Charles Knox admitted Tuesday that he prefers Quentin Tarantino's work from his early days as a clerk at the Los Angelesarea Video Archives movie rental store. 'I'm really into his preReservoir Dogs stuff, when he was shelving VHS tapes, working the register, doing the inventory once a week, and just completely killing it,' said Knox, arguing that from the mid to late '80s Tarantino was 'absolutely at the top his game.' 'People could walk in there any time of day and he'd point them to the new releases, all the while talking a mile-a-minute about why Rio Bravo is the greatest Western ever made. That, to me, was classic Tarantino.' Knox added that he is also a big fan of the work James Cameron did in his early 20s as a Southern Californiabased truck driver. 
3	I Confronted a Drone PilotAaron Dykes I confronted him with some of the troubling news that has emerged about the secret White House kill list and the apparent readiness to destroy the lives of innocent bystanders in pursuit of a target women, children and elderly villagers who are all considered nothing more than collateral damage. Clearly, he didnt want to hear it. Did he, too, find these people dispensable? Did he share the cold rationale of our leaders that it is worth it to kill these civilians to target an enemy? I tried to find out when I saw him during a wedding I attended, all while I was deeply aware of the unsettling irony that the celebration we were attending was seen differently than the weddings,funerals and other gatherings that U.S. airstrikes have unofficially declared to be venues of war. Horrifyingly, the use of airstrikes to kill rescue workers in a double tap when they come for the bodies of drone victims has been repeatedly documented, as well. Due process is effectively dead. The White House, the Pentagon, and the pilots who operate their predator drones have become judge, jury and executioner while the public isnt even told who is on their kill list, or why. Drones are coming home to roost, too. Estimates are that U.S. skies will see some 30,000 drones within the coming decade, and surveillance is not their only purpose. While they may not be equipped with missiles to target suspects, theuse of tasers and other less-lethal weaponry for law enforcement and border security functions has already been proposed. How far will things go? And how far removed will their operators be from the situation? Will they retain the judgement to know when things have gone too far? Or will the lives they hover over become mere blips on a screen? Aaron Dykes is a co-founder of TruthstreamMedia.comwhere this article first appeared.

3	After the (s)ElectionBy James Corbett Visit CorbettReport.com 99% of what Trump promised to do during the primary debates, he almost immediately began backtracking on once he lied and slandered his way into winning the nomination.

1	Challenging conventional wisdom about the activitys hazards, a groundbreaking new study by the National Institutes of Health published Thursday has determined there are significant dangers even in casual bullfighting. The health agencys latest findings indicate that bullfighting recreationally, often considered relatively harmless in comparison to frequent or habitual bullfighting, carries health risks far more severe and long lasting than had been previously understood. Theres a general perception out there that bullfighting in moderation is relatively safe, but our data paint a very different picture, said lead author Susan Ellis, noting that the study, which assessed the health of more than 200 bullfighters, provided clear evidence that engaging in even just an occasional bullfight considerably raised the risk of adverse medical outcomes. Whether you fight several bulls over the course of an evening or just one, the fact is, every single time you put that red cape in your hand and face down a 1,200-pound bull, you are endangering your health. To avoid possible complications, your safest bet is to stay away from bulls altogether, she added. The study looked at both moderate bullfighting, defined as no more than 14 bullfights per week, and heavy bullfighting, defined as fighting five or more bulls on a single occasion at least five times per month. Researchers said that while the first category includes individuals who might bullfight socially or after a stressful day at work, the second consists of those who might keep a matadors suit hidden in their home or slip out of the house to fight a bull behind the garage after their family has gone to bed for the night. Bullfighting with a few friends at a party may seem like no big deal, but the consequences can be quite severe. While they noted that daily bullfighters face the greatest risk, researchers said that even people who bullfight as little as once a week are several times more likely than their non-bullfighting peers to develop health problems such as contusions, gashes, skull fractures, and facial disfigurement. Furthermore, the study suggests the detrimental effects of casual bullfighting can become even more pronounced over time, with MRI scans showing that areas of the brain controlling movement and speech may be affected by repeated exposure to the activity. Bullfighting with a few friends at a party may seem like no big deal, but the consequences can be quite severe, said Diana Nussbaum, a Sibley Memorial Hospital administrator who has witnessed the ravages of casual bullfighting firsthand. We had a guy in here the other day who decided he was going to perform a couple of tandas with his banderilleros in a parking lot, and the next thing you know, hes in the ER with a pierced lung. And that sort of thing is all too common. According to top medical experts, it is especially important for young people to avoid the temptation to experiment with bullfighting. Doctors claim that teenagers often believe theyre invincible and therefore give less thought to the consequences of their actions, which makes them more likely to engage in risky bullfighting behaviors, such as the horse-mounted rejoneo or Portuguese-style bullfighting. At the same time, because their brains are still developing, they are reportedly more susceptible to the cognitive impairments that can result from horn- or hoof-related head injuries. I tried it one time and felt terrible afterward, said Greg Mathison, a high school student from Lewiston, ME, when asked about his bullfighting habits. A lot of people at my school do it. They come to class and you can tell what theyve been up to. Some of them get pretty messed up. Im just glad I dont need to bullfight to have a good time, he added.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people in town who have fallen on hard times and are unable to afford to put food on the table, so we try to help out as best we can, said 48-year-old Kerri Bellamy, one of the mindless sheep who adheres to a backward ideology and is incapable of thinking for herself, while spooning out homemade shepherds pie to a line of poor and homeless individuals. It feels great to share our blessings with the less fortunate. Plus, its fun to work alongside all the members of our [corrupt institution of propaganda and lies] who come out each week. As of press time, the brainless, unthinking lemmings had donated winter clothing they no longer wore to several needy families and still hadnt opened their eyes to reality.

Unfortunately, many people with experience have started publicly backing his message, and acknowledging he could be just the type of leader America needs. According to recent reports, 88 retired U.S. Generals and Admirals wrote an open letter, claiming they support Trump and his commitment to rebuild our military, to secure our borders, to defeat our Islamic supremacist adversaries and restore law and order domestically. As retired senior leaders of Americas military, we believe that such a change can only be made by someone who has not been deeply involved with, and substantially responsible for, the hollowing out of our military and the burgeoning threats facing our country around the world, the letter reads. For this reason, we support Donald Trumps candidacy to be our next Commander-in-Chief. 
3	Home Video Surveillance Without a Warrant? EFF Asks Appeals Court to ReconsiderHanni Fakhoury First, it failed to analyze the home video surveillance under the Fourth Amendments trespass theory. Last year, the Supreme Court in United States v. Jones made clear that when the government trespasses onto private property for the purpose of obtaining information, it searches under the Fourth Amendment. Under common law, a defendant was not liable for trespass if the landowner authorized their entry. But that consent is ineffective if the person is mistaken about the nature and quality of the defendants entry. And here Wahchumwah was clearly mistaken as to the agents true purpose: to video record everything in his house without Wahchumwahs knowledge. Second, the court incorrectly found Wahchumwah had no reasonable expectation of privacy because he knowingly exposed the interior of his home to the agent when he let him in his house. When an undercover officer enters a home with the permission of the homeowner, he is obviously able to observe things with his eyes, take mental note of them and relay those opinions to other officers when he returns to the police headquarters. This is permissible because people expect visitors to observe portions of their home when they let them in. Thats why people typically clean their house and put away embarrassing things before having guests over for dinner. But people dont expect their guests to look at the letters on their desk, peer into rooms as they walk the hallways and generally rummage at will through the house. But thats precisely what the video camera here has the potential to do. A quick glance into a bedroom may not reveal much to the naked eye, but a video camera can capture it instantly and allow officers to rewind and zoom in from the comforts of their office without the homeowner wondering why their guest is lingering in the hallway. At that point, the surveillance far exceeds the circumstances that justified the search in the first place the homeowners consent and renders the search unreasonable and unconstitutional unless the government has a search warrant. Ultimately, in deciding whether something is exposed to another person, the key question is not whether someone can possibly discover the information but whether another mightactually discover it. And with advances in technology, new and unexpected types of intrusions into otherwise private spaces are popping up every day. Obviously, technology like small video cameras should be used by law enforcement to help make us safer. But outside of extreme circumstances involving an imminent physical threat of death or serious violence to another person, law enforcement should be required to obtain judicial authorization through a search warrant before using this potentially invasive technology especially when investigating non-violent crimes like the illegal sale of bird feathers. We hope the entire Ninth Circuit reconsiders it dangerous decision that truly reveals the power of technology to shrink our privacy expectations.

2	Apple Makes Huge Announcement About The Confederate Flag And Their Phones According to recent reports, Apple has just made the controversial decision to remove apps and games related to the Civil War from the app store because they are racist. The games that are set to be removed are Ultimate General: Gettysburg, Civil War: 1862 and Civil War the Battle Game. According to the firm, these games made the list because they feature images of the Confederate flag in offensive and mean-spirited ways. Apple referenced their app store review guidelines in the announcement, claiming: Apps containing references or commentary about a religious, cultural or ethnic group that are defamatory, offensive, mean-spirited or likely to expose the targeted group to harm or violence will be rejected. Were in no way sympathetic to the use of the flag in an offensive way; we used it purely because historically that was the flag that was used at the time, TouchArcade, a developer of an app in question, told reporters. Apple is just one of a group of companies who have been rejecting the Confederate flag following the Charleston shooting. What do you think of their controversial decision? Are they taking things too far?

3	8 Powerful Liberty Quotes That Will Inspire You to Live FreeBy Joseph Jankowski With the rise of the police state, NSA spying, and extremely dangerous executive orders, Americahas fallen in many of the metrics that rank countries based on their level offreedom. The American way of life that once looked at government as an entity which the people should avoid being parasitic to, and as an institution that should remain as small as possible, has gone completely to the wayside. A profound example of how large the U.S. federal government has grown is the fact that the Department of Health and Human Services is set to spend over $1 trillion in 2016. That is just one agency out of hundreds. Our once free society now labors to pay off big government. In America today, it is those who cherish freedom who are labeled as dangerous. A study by theDepartment of Homeland Security has labeledthose who are reverent of individual liberty as potential terrorists. According to this Department of Defense manual, people concerned with individual liberties, states rights, and how to make the world a better place are potential extremists. Freedom is under siege in America. Of course, the only way to turn this around and restore our libertiesis to get motivated. Here are 8 libertyquotes that will surely get you in the spirit to live free: A profound example of how large the U.S. federal government has grown is the fact that the Department of Health and Human Services is set to spend over $1 trillion in 2016. That is just one agency out of hundreds. Our once free society now labors to pay off big government. Over half of that is for Medicare, which we have earned by funding our entire lifetimes. 90% is for healthcare. 1% is for SNAP (the majority of recipients are children). So medical treatment and food for the needy, with Medicare being mostly self-funded thru payroll taxes and very popular. Of every dollar Medicare or Medicaid takes in, 98.7% is returned to the private sector to private doctors and hospitals. Of SNAP., 99% is returned to the private sector for food. Lets compare the defense budget, which is also a trillion dollars, $600K or the DOD, 200 billion to the banks to pay the debt on previous wars, and the other 200 billion for Dept of Energy (nukes), Homeland Security, and the VA. 100% borrowed, with 20% being debt repayment. It buys: weapons, healthcare for wounded vets, maintenance of enough nukes to destroy the planet 25 times, and funds for spying, etc. It is 8 times larger than Chinas defense budget, and 25 times larger than Russias. SO; medical treatment and food for the needy, with the largest chunk mostly self funding (Medicare) or a defense budget which buys weapons, repays banks, and funds spying, larger than the next 10 nations. Which one do you feel robs you of your tax dollars and your freedom? $4 a day for poor seniors and the disabled, children, and minimum wage workers and those whose jobs have been shipped offfshore? Or a 1.5 trillion fighter yet contract to Lockheed for a plane which is considered a lemon, unable to compete with Russian and Chinese fighters and with only 8% completed, has already cost nearly half a trillion with routine cost overruns and plagued by problems, based on an 80s design with too little power, no ability to maneuver, and easily detected? Which one pisses you off? Are you with Trump who says he will build up the military so big it will never have to be used (98% of arms races end in war), causing other nations to build up their militaries in self-defense? Or with Eisenhower, who said Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron. ??? Guns or healthcare? Bombs or food? The Rockefeller-driven Medical Industrial Complex has become the monstrosity it was designed to be. Medicare spending has traditionally been funded 25% by payroll taxes and 75% through the general fund, and this was before Medicare Part D was passed under Bush II, a huge unfunded liability. Roughly, the US governments contribution to health care spending was 45% before Obamacare (Medicare, Medicaid, VA, US Military TRICARE, etc.) and is close to 60% when employer tax subsidies are factored in. These programs and the Insurance Mafia have combined to create MEDICAL HYPERINFLATION such that it is nearly impossible for the average family to pay for the majority of their basic health care needs out of pocket. In the late 60s, it wasnt uncommon for a woman to be discharged from a hospital a day or two after giving birth with a $200 bill all fees included. You are misinformed: Medicare is funded primarily from three sources: general revenues (41%), payroll taxes (38%), and beneficiary premiums (13%) so it is just over half self-funded, with 98.7% of the money going back to private doctors and hospitals. Defense spending is 100% borrowed (costing 200 billion a year, more than any other nationss total defense spending) in debt repayment to banks for previous wars: the money collected thru taxes goes to weapons makers and spies, among others. The 1.5 trillion F-35 fighter yet, which pilots say cannot perform, will end up costing about $15,000 per household. Medicare Part D is a scam whereby Medicare is prevented from negotiating drug prices (it should get the cheapest) causing it to pay nearly twice as much as other agencies like the VA, or much smaller groups), which has thereby, in violation of all freemarket principles, stolen about 400 billion since the Republicans passed it. A simple solution: repeal the ban on Medicare negotiations and enact Medicare for all, saving 450 billion in overhead per yr, as well as eliminating the 170 billion spent on ER for the uninsured, and 300 billion lost thru the tax break for medical costs. That is more than enough to expand coverage to everyone, with 100% coverage, including dental and vision. Other ways to save can be taken from the other 34 advanced nations which have superior health outcomes at half the cost, including free tuition for qualified medical students and paying doctors to keep us healthy. More than half of Americans now support single payer, with 80% of Democrats in favor. Youll get no argument about Medicare Part D being a scam and effectively a way to keep patients from scrutinizing prescription costs, self-educating on cost-benefit ratio and making informed decisions resulting in the eventual strangling of Big Pharma. Medicare premiums are offset by Medicaid for low income seniors. There are endless shell games with taxes and govt spending all lack the transparency, resiliency, and freedom associated with direct patient to provider payment paradigms. Government programs can offer remarkable benefits yet disempower too I know first hand, my spouse is a VA doc and from my own grad studies in public health, medical economics, and preventive medicine. Humanity needs a balance and free choice, NOT the Rockefellers centralized top down system. Heres some great Rockefeller-driven Medical Industrial Complex historical irony to reflect on. I assume you know William Rockefeller, the Rockefeller Patriarch who boasted he taught his sons how to cheat, was LITERALLY a SNAKE OIL SALESMAN, billing himself as Dr. Bill Levingston, Celebrated Cancer Specialist, chased out of towns by angry residents after selling Rock Oil, a combination of laxative and petroleum, for $25 (a substantial financial sacrifice for most) claiming it would cure most terminal cancers. Heres a clue: anyone who offers you fake quotes is NOT looking out for your freedom. For example: Heres another fake quote: Paine: The duty of a patriot is to protect his country from its government. Gary Berton, secretary of the National Thomas Paine HIstorical Association, told Politico.com , Ive read every word of Paines several times. Its definitely not Paine. Berton, who has studied Paines writings for decades, said the phrase doesnt even sound like a thought the founding father would convey. Paine was certainly critical of Britiains rule of the colonies and hoped society would one day become so advanced that it wouldnt need government, Berton said. But in the meantime, he was for a strong central government with redistribution of wealth, added Berton, How many others are fake?

You may think I am joking, as you dont know me that can be forgiven. There is not much I use. What I do use is stuff. Youre more than welcome to come and share whatever I use, the optimal word here is share. Stuff, things on Earth will never come with me when Im gone. Stuff wont go with you when you go either. Im not really attached to stuff. Yes, I use some of it but not much. Dont mind sharing. It is here for all of us after all. I am not joking. I am not being sarcastic. This is how I view materials used in living. All resources on the Earth belong only to the Earth. We own nothing, only get to use stuff. So yes, come share in the stuff I use, if you need. Sorry Im too strapped of that silly money stuff to pack up my stuff and distribute it to you. I dont like to play that silly money game much at all, it only serves death by way of greed. I only use of it what is needed to use other stuff and more often than not I let my wife manage that. She allows me a small stipend for some hobby stuff. Im out of the money stuff in that stipend. But you come on, you can share our stuff we use if you need. Glad to share. Genuinely am. Again, not joking. Hi! Ben. Thank you for replying. In some respects, we are on the same page. I am not attached to stuff, I only have what I need, I do note care much for money and my wife manages it, with me only buying the odd tool or book. I also (kinda but not completely) view myself as a custodian of things and tend towards generosity with them; sharing is good. Where we appear to differ is in our philosophical underpinnings. The following are phrases I copied n pasted from your reply which I would like to discuss further: We own nothing; the optimal word here is share; and [Money] only serves death by way of greed. You may already be conversant with the concept of ownership, but I will elaborate for the benefit of others. Ownership, or property rights, is a mental construct, a norm designed to minimise conflict over scarce resources. By definition, ownership defines who has control over a scarce resource such that its owner has complete control over its use (or lack thereof) and its disposal. The owner can lend or rent out a resource he controls i.e. permit use by another while retaining title, or alienate the resource i.e. pass title to another by exchange or by gifting. The ownership norm minimises conflict because the agreement of only the current owner needs to be sought in order to gain access to a resource. Again, by definition, if no one owns anything then either no scarce resource has a controller or all seven billion (and counting) of us have joint control and both of these present difficulties. I am going to use the dwelling you currently occupy as an example and for simplicity, I will refer to it as your house. Your house is a scarce resource; there is only one of it. If no one owns your house then anyone can simply walk in at any time and take up residence without your consent. How can you say no, or its not your turn? You dont control its use, nobody does. The only way you could guarantee permanent, single occupancy would be by massive security and overwhelming force. Is that better than ownership? Things are even more complicated if we all have joint ownership of your house. If you own one seven billionth of your house you can only guarantee occupancy for one seven billionth of its usable life. Which seven billionth is yours and how was that decided? Why was I not invited to the meeting that decided? Did someone else decide on your time slot without consulting me? This arrangement is obviously unworkable and I assume that you are espousing option one above. Your phrase, optimal word here is share implies that you are willing to allow me (or others) access to resources currently in your stewardship. Only the owner can allow something. If you permit me to share something, you must also be able to deny me it too. That, my friend, is ownership. The reason we can share our resources with others without losing control of them is that we own them. As I am sure you are aware, money is simply a tool, an important use of which is to make trade more efficient by being the most liquid good and, therefore, desired by all. If you have eggs but require boots, you must first find a cobbler who wants eggs right now not very efficient. Tools are neutral i.e. they are neither good nor evil. I can use a hammer to build you a barn or to bash your skull in. It is the use made of a tool that is good or evil. I completely concur that the banksters use their central bank issued, fractional reserve, debt as money for the purposes of slavery and world domination, but, the problem is not money per se. They might intend to enslave us, but we do not have to fall into their trap. Their so-called money might be a debt instrument, but, possessing a bank promissory note means that it is you that is owed, not them. They win when you borrow from them. Dont take out a loan, dont use a credit card, and dont keep your money in their banks and you are not feeding the system. It is the love of money that is the root of evil, not money itself. BTW. I never thought you were joking. I find it interesting that all these liberty quotes come from men, many of whom were part of the disenfranchisement of over half the population served by the government the set up.

3	Obamas No-Fly, No-Buy Violates 2nd AND 5th AmendmentsBy Mac Slavo Is there any doubt left that Obama wants to completely destroy the right to keep and bear arms, and bind Americans to their own enslavement? Reactionary gun control efforts following San Bernardino are combining undue hysteria over firearms and terrorism into one mis-aimed issue that stands to trample upon the American people who are already the most surveilled and controlled. Led by fear, most are prepared to sacrifice liberty and accept further measures in order to address the perceived threat from ISIS but the bigger threat by far comes from the federal government itself. The Washington Post blasted President Obamas proposals for adding terror watch list suspects to the no-buy gun list: [T]he no-fly list is a secret list that uses secret criteria to determine who finds a home on it. So if you link banning guns to the no-fly list, the scenario presented is completely feasible: The government could theoretically add anyone it wants to the no-fly list, even broad categories of people, and thereby prevent them from owning a gun. Tim Sparapani is now principal of SPQR Strategies but was formerly senior legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union. In that role, he became intimately familiar with the use of the no-fly list or, anyway, as familiar as someone from outside of the government can be. Armed with that knowledge, he explained why using it as the basis for much of anything was iffy, much less banning gun purchases. The problems are foreseeable and obvious: The problem with any kind of watch list, Sparapani said, is that its always going to be both under- and over-inclusive. It suffers on both accounts. It causes so many problems that it really leads us to question the worth of having a list like this. Not only can the draconian government database not protect everyone by knowing all the risks, but the government has carte blanche to label anyone as a potential terrorists, a threat, or simply flag the for further monitoring. Obamas proposal has been voiced before, including by his former White House Chief of Staff and the controversial embattled mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel: Even with the best intentions with a dangerous tool under one administration, there is every chance that the next administration would try to corral other groups under the label and deny them rights. With Obamas far-reaching gun control agenda, such a list could be a fail-proof method of taking everyones legal right to bear arms, at least at its extreme. Philip Bump (@pbump) December 7, 2015 If the IRS were running the watchlist, they would likely fail at spotting terrorists, but every Tea Party conservative might find their closely guarded 2nd Amendment under attack. It also violates 5th Amendment rights to due process, as the Washington Post notes: Particularly when applied to the ability to own a firearm, many would argue that the no-fly list is a violation of the 5th Amendment, which guarantees the right to due process before people are deprived of life, liberty or property. During the ACLUs lawsuit, the government admitted that people are added to the list speculatively, before theyve actually done anything wrong. Whats more, the Guardian reported in 2014 that the list might be used by law enforcement as a pressure point againstpossible informants. The list is itself almost necessarily a slippery slope. Theres very little incentive for any particular government official to narrow the list, Sparapani said. Its much easier to put more and more names on it. [] Who are these people who are so dangerous that we cant let them on planes, but we havent gone out and arrested them? Sparapani asked. At what point do we actually take action against them if theyre under what we think of as passive surveillance? If theyre too dangerous to be put on a plane but not too dangerous for us to arrest them, what exactly is this list about? Asked another way: Who is too dangerous to be on a plane but not dangerous enough to walk around in public and should that person be denied the right to own a firearm because they land somewhere in that gray space? President Obamas goal was not really to keep the guns out of the hands of possible terrorists, in part because the overlap of the no-fly list and possible terrorists looks more like a Venn diagram than a circle. It was, instead, part of his effort to limit the availability of guns in general, using the no-fly list as a tool. Someone like Trump might start with Muslims he fears threaten America, but might end up with the very dissenters who elected him to office. Just being added to the list would be enough to harass, inconvenience and violate every civil liberty that Americans once held hear and practically no one has ever gotten off the terrorism watch list, despite many well known mix-ups and mistakes. As Sen. Rand Paul noted, someone who has guns, ammunition, seven days of food could be considered a potential terrorist under Homeland Security policy. Not only could it happen, but someone could be barred from buying guns for owning guns in the first place. It all depends on the selective enforcement and abuse of the system. Since the Bush Administration, hundreds of people have been falsely added to the terror list or prevented from flying because they share a last name, or a similar name, with another person who is merely suspected, but not actually accused of wrongdoing. The Washington Times reports: Its very, very common for individuals who have similar appearing names to be confused with people who are actually on the no-fly list, said Barry Steinhardt, a New York-based lawyer who heads the American Civil Liberties Unions Technology and Liberty Program. The lists are both so shrouded in secrecy and so large that inevitably innocent people are swept up as potential suspects or terrorists especially when you have lists that are maintained by intelligence agencies that have very little oversight, he said. The Bush administration has attempted to stem confusion caused by the existence of multiple watch lists by establishing a joint FBI-CIA Terrorist Threat Integration Center (TTIC), which consolidates more than a dozen previous lists, including the State Departments TIPOFF database of more than 110,000 known and suspected terrorists. Could it really happen here? Obama seems bound and determined to undermine the 2nd Amendment in any and all ways he possibly can. How far is he willing to go before the end of his term? You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com Guess everyone must attempt to buy a gun just to find out if he or she is on the US Federal government Mafias no-fly list? What we really need is finally a real investigation into the treason of September 11, 2001, and an end to the ongoing ops for the anti-constitutional US Global Corporate New World Order dictatorship. QUESTION: What happened to shall not be infringed? ANSWER: The same thing thats happened time and again since its inception. Think about it: The Amendment WITH the wording shall not be infringed is the MOST infringed, licensed, and limited Amendment of the entire twenty seven. Furthermore, a future generation of our posterity is likely to see the Second Amendment whittled away entirely or repealed altogether. This is the inherent nature and danger of optional Enlightenment rights as compared to non-optional Biblical responsibilities, such as the following: Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword [or todays equivalent] in their hand; to execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye Yah. (Psalm 149:6-9) But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house [beginning with spiritual and physical protection], he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

1	Congressional passage of a landmark hate-crime bill is being delayed by the nation's powerful pro-hate lobby, it was reported Tuesday. 'If this bill were to pass, hatred would be illegal in all 50 states,' said Terrence Boswell, president of Americans For Hate. 'This bill, which requires all Amercians to get along and like each other, goes against everything our organization believes in, and we are taking a stand.' Americans For Hate's lobbying efforts have won over numerous legislators, including U.S. Rep. William Schourek (R-TX), who was re-elected to Congress Tuesday on a pro-hate platform. 'Hate is a vital aspect of our shared culture, and it would be deeply missed if it were to disappear,' Schourek said. 
2	Donald Trumps Worst Nightmare From His Past Just Came Back To Haunt Him Before he made a run for president, Donald Trump headlined NBCs business reality show The Apprentice. Now, six former contestants have come forward with their objects to the legendary businessman, just days before the New York state primary. The Apprentice alumni Randal Pinkett, Kwame Jackson, Tara Dowdell, Marshawn Evans Daniels, Keving Allen and James Sun all teamed up in hopes of firing Trump from the campaign trail. We stand united as former candidates on The Apprenctice, not to denounce Donald Trump the man, but to denounce Donald Trump, the presidential candidates message, Pinkett, season four winner, said in a statement. The group went on to explain that Trump plays to the lowest common denominator of fear, racism and divisiveness in our populace. Trump does not have the temperament to deal with the sensitivities and diplomacy required on the world stage with volatile regimes in Iran, North Korea, and the threat of ISIS, Jackson added. You dont get in a fist for fist boxing match in 2016 with global politics. Trump was quick to respond to the comments of the former reality contestants. How quickly they forget, he said in a statement. They just want to get back into the limelight like they had when they were with Trump. Total dishonest and disloyalty. They should be careful or Ill play hours of footage of them individually praising me. What do you think of the comments? 
2	BOOM: NonWhile Democratic politicians tiptoe around in an effort to be politically correct, Judge Hurley is in the courtroomspeaking his mind and refusing to hold back. Recently, Hurley was sick and tired of the arguments being used by a lawyer to justify his client, so he called him out in the most epic way possible. The white men shoot unarmed black men all the time argument didnt go over so well in this case. Watch what Judge Hurley says below and tell us what you think. Does he deserve a round of applause for saying what many of us are thinking? 
3	Top 10 Greatest Problems Humanity Currently FacesBernie Suarez Changes never happen overnight; and, as a whole, most Americans hopefully do have a few things in common. Surely one of the solutions is to look for what we all have in common and see how we can all work together to improve things. Coming together on wider platforms is also a key to moving forward. Here are the top issues and potential solutions. John F. Kennedy warned of the dangers of secret societies making decisions for humanity. More on this speech later. Secrecy of government could be number one on this list. Ultimately all of humanitys problems stem back to government secrecy. From CIA to the Pentagon, to CFR, Bilderberg secret meetings, to the Masonic groups, secret fraternities and more, secrecy is the norm in this government and is the building block upon which all other forms of deception are built. This secrecy is not spoken about enough because we are all conditioned to believe that government needs to be secret. All state crimes are secret. All evidence against government is secret. All covert crimes are protected from exposure due to the nature of the beast. See any problems with this? There are no scenarios where humanity will be able to thrive while state crimes and illegalities are all secret. We will never have legitimate elections, and activist groups dedicated to truth and justice will always fight against the wall of secrecy that humanity is up against. Conversely, governments that operate in secret are obsessed with making your life known to all. It is a crime in every scenario for you to not divulge the truth about yourself or to not speak the truth to a police officer or a member of the courts. The individual is immediately charged with perjury. Government, however, as well as police, can lie to you, trick you, and hide the facts from you often without any consequences. Amazingly, one of the mysteries of our generations dating back over one hundred years is how a private cabal of non-government business guys can actually be given a status that is clearly above the law. How can an entire generation accept slavery under the authority of men who can and should be arrested, tried and imprisoned for life? How can a private entity tell the government what to do, lie, cheat, steal, even create money out of thin air and then charge the government interest without real consequences. How can they pull this off even in the age of information and the Internet? The question is as amazing and mind-blowing a question as there is. I dont know the answer to this and I dont know anyone who does. We know all about the private illegal creation of the Federal Reserve and we know all about their illegal banking schemes whose termination could heal all of humanity with one stroke of a pen, yet no one dares act upon this. That is, except John F. Kennedy and we know what happened to him. Without a doubt the Federal Reserve banking scheme and collectively the global banking scheme to include the IMF, BIS and World Bank makes my list of the top threats to humanity. These bankers are the ones profiting from both sides of all wars. The magnitude of this issue goes beyond the spectrum of this article but suffice to say this is one of the major issues humanity needs to confront. Ive written about this many times. One of the greatest problems we face here in America and extends throughout the world because the impact it has on world news, is that propaganda is now legal in the United States. Without a second thought or remorse, the State Department can now carve out what it WANTS to say instead of what it HAS to say. Accountability to the American people is now completely removed. Noticing a lot of bold claims from the State Department regarding evidence and the constant deflection of original sources? Notice how key pieces of evidence get released much later from the time the specific incident occurred? Wonder whats happening during the delay or what the U.S. military or local police call the investigative process? From Hillary Clintons sudden unverified accident which conveniently got her out of having to testify in the Benghazi hearing until months later, to the U.S.s claims of evidence against Russia in Ukraine, to the MH17 fake video proof confession, to the phony James Foley beheading video with no blood and edited action, people all around the world keep asking the same questions; where is the evidence? and what in the world is going on? Ive discussed in previous articles how this topic of legalized propaganda (made legal by the NDAA) is one of the core problems staring us right in the face, and we will never get over this until we criminalize propaganda once and for all. Propaganda after all, kills millions, justifies wars and murders and exonerates criminals. Why then are we allowing it to be legal? The war on drugs alone is less dangerous than legal propaganda, not to mention marijuana laws, jaywalking, even traffic laws. The massive effect of Hollywood on the minds of millions of Americans is now a grand experiment on humanity. More than ever, children are watching television which has been proven to be a powerful tool of mind control. No other tool is doing more to keep humanity in a state of hypnosis and complacency than TV. It has robbed the young generation of all forms of critical thinking, creativity, passion, focus, determination, and political awareness. It is almost impossible to visualize humanity overcoming our current crisis with the current level of Hollywood and TV propaganda and conditioning. The celebrity gossip and propaganda alone is enough of a threat to humanity to concern anyone paying attention. Lessons of fascism, tyranny, and collectivism can be taught to a person much quicker using television than almost any other medium. Furthermore, there is no easier way to destroy family values, sell adult sexual ideas to kids, lower school grades and reading skills than to expose a child to television. Quietly, pro sports is now a force to be dealt with in terms of survival of the human race and heres why. Pro sports is not just a collection of games and entertainment (MLB, NFL, NBA, NFL, MSL), it is a form of survival for millions of young men, it is a religion for many, it is a ritual, an obsession, an addiction that cannot and will not be broken. It is perceived by all of society to be harmless and fun, and it can be harmless and fun if you are already awakened. For those who are not awakened, sports is a primary brainwashing tool of the globalists. This is their primary military recruiting ground and millions of young men go from watching a TV commercial glorifying the military during a game to dying in globalist wars. We all see how the globalists used the Pat Tillman story as an advertisement to get more kids into the military. Recently, Major League Baseball has been promoting the military using the image and story of Ted Williams. The worshiping of the military at the level of pro sports is reaching dangerous levels. MLB in particular regularly has promotional days when your favorite team may be seen actually wearing military-like uniforms for the day. Every week we are seeing military personnel literally worshiped by the powers that run pro sports. These ceremonies and dedications are targeting the young kids so that when they grow up theyll want to join the military. Also, this threat to humanity works hand in hand with many of the other threats. Ultimately, sports is selling blind patriotism. Meaning, regardless of the mission, we are Team America (urrrahh). Values, ethics, and morality are not taken into account in the selling of the military. They tell you they represent honor and values and they know they dont need to actually prove it. This selling of blind patriotism is dangerous and encourages closed-mindedness to any information that interferes with your emotional ties to your own country and military. When did science become a government thing? Quietly, over the last 5-6 decades and more, government has taken over science and ignored the prime rule of science. That being the Scientific Method which states that scientists must present their hypothesis then conduct open experiments to prove or disprove their hypothesis. These experiments must be open to public scrutiny, not open to OTHER government contractors but to the true scientific community. Too many Americans who dont like science wont even pay attention to this issue which is one of the major threats to humanity. When government takes over science, that swings the door wide open for retroactive manipulation of scientific results, exaggerations of results, customizing studies to line up with predetermined results, faulty correlations, non-scientific government abstracts of studies that no one in the independent scientific community can verify and challenge, controlled opposition of scientific views, blind claims, even theories that outright defy the laws of science. All of this can be done without any opposition or scrutiny. Sound crazy to you? It should. Government takeover of science is without a doubt what has led to many theories which have paved the road for environment crimes against humanity (chemtrails spraying and geoengineering programs destroying the ecosystem on a daily basis), administration of deadly vaccines (which are now proven to cause autism) and even massive false flags (like the government science of the World Trade Center towers collapse that defy all forms of reason and laws of physics and thermodynamics). The thinking seems to be that if you control the science you control reality. Thankfully, there are many of us who recognize the sabotaging of the science and hopefully humanity can pull it together to force scientific accountability. The 9/11 truth movement has gained ground in the demand for scientific accountability and all of us should be paying attention to this battle as well as the recent CDC whistleblower statement admitting the CDC ignored scientific evidence linking the MMR vaccine to autism. These battles over scientific claims are very important to the future survival of humanity. As of the end of fiscal year 2012 the U.S. defense budget was an astronomical $688 BILLION dollars totaling more than the defense budget of China, Russia, UK, Japan, France, Saudi Arabia, India, Germany, Italy, and Brazil. Tackling this one issue alone could save humanity from killing itself. Without money to buy weapons and fund wars we wouldnt be waging them. The numbers alone are staggering enough to make anyone think and wonder what the hell are we doing? Just imagine what we could do with this money. Humanity should be preparing strategies for ending this major spending problem which really means we as a species are funding our own extinction. How does that make sense? In some conservative Christian and right wing circles throughout America we are seeing a deeply rooted belief that says all Muslims are dangerous terrorists except for maybe a few here and there. This ideology of bigotry is no different than other ideologies of hate and bigotry weve seen throughout history. Some of these individuals are blindly convinced that terrorists are everywhere and that these terrorists (who have by the way never been tried or found guilty of any wrongdoing with facts and evidence) have no rights whatsoever. The terrorists, according to this mindset, deserve lifetime imprisonment without charge, they deserve to be tortured and murdered if necessary. In the midst of this culture of hatred brewing in America, we are now seeing the rise of another wave of hate, bigotry, and what I call linear (narrow-minded) thinking. Weve all seen the breathtaking images of atrocities in Gaza committed by Israel, and although Jews around the world are protesting alongside human rights groups against the action of Israel against the people of Gaza, others have chosen to stand FOR Israel despite these war crimes. This recent wave of dangerous narrow-minded thinking, which holds a flag in higher esteem than a human life, is now one of the greatest threats humanity faces. It is exactly this kind of narrow-minded thinking which has served as a precursor to the murder of billions of lives throughout history. Weve been warned those who ignore the lessons of history are bound to repeat it. Conversely, just imagine if the people of the United States all came together to denounce aggression across the board without sympathizing for a political cause or a flag. Imagine the United States actually becoming the world leader again. All because we actually stand for human rights and freedom again. What better reason for other countries to look up to the U.S. again. Engineered race wars are now becoming the norm. Humanity is in one big competition against itself. Parents and children are being conditioned not to trust people of other races, or each other for that matter. Every single shooting death is painted as a race issue whenever possible by the media. We all saw what happened in Ferguson, Missouri. A typical police state murder spun into a race war by the media. Over a year ago we saw Travon Martin murdered by a Hispanic male shooter yet the media spun it into a race issue. As racial division continues, the globalists are enjoying seeing humanity unable to work together. And the greatest problem humanity now faces is from mainstream media. In his famous speech about secret societies John F. Kennedy said this to the mainstream media: But I am asking them members of the newspaper profession and the industry in this country to reexamine their own responsibilities, to consider the degree and the nature of the present danger, and to heed the duty of self-restraint which that danger imposes upon us all I am not asking your newspapers to support the Administration, but I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. For I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed. I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers I welcome it Without debate, without criticism no administration and no country can succeed, and no republic can survive It means greater coverage and analysis of international news, for it is no longer far away and foreign but close at hand and local. It means greater attention to improved understanding of the news as well as improved transmission. And it means, finally, that government at all levels, must meet its obligation to provide you with the fullest possible information outside the narrowest limits of national security, and we intend to do it. And so it is to the printing press, to the recorder of mans deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news, that we look for strength and assistance, confident that with your help man will be what hewas born to be: free and independent. JFK was calling out mainstream media to be responsible because they were supposed to bear the mantle of free speech and ultimately guard our freedom and independence. Looking at this speech one can appreciate how frightening it is to see mainstream media sold out to the very government that we were supposed to be free from. This speech also shows us how far weve come. Is it any secret why they murdered JFK? I agree with president Kennedy and I believe mainstream media has done everything opposite of what Kennedy called on them to do. They dont bear any responsibility for what they say, they are not guarding freedom or free speech instead they demonize it. They do not encourage criticism; instead they tag everyone as a conspiracy theorist without any reason or evidence. They dont provide us with the fullest possible information; instead White House Deputy Spokespersons like Marie Harf snap at reporters and threaten to not say anything if she has to divulge her secret sources. Mainstream media is unquestionably the greatest threat to the safety of humanity, freedom and the entire existence of a republic that protects the rights of the individual. With mainstream media now lying, deceiving, and manipulating the truth for the sake of government and political propaganda, now more than ever it is important for everyone to recognize that this is now the number one threat to humanity. No, ISIS and Al Qaeda didnt come close to making my list of most dangerous threats to humanity. The danger with ISIS is the ability of our government to arrange such funding and supply of U.S. weapons and armed fighters (with social media use and all) in such a short period of time. To survive and make our future bright again we as a humanity will have to rise above government propaganda and simultaneously keep working overtime on ideas for solutions to the problems of humanity. Its good to know which are the major problems as well as which are not the major problems. Know someone in mainstream media? Forward this article to them and pass the word onto others about the importance of not believing mainstream media news and why. For everyone else we have no choice but to become the media. Share these ideas and come up with new one. Add fuel to the fire of hope, the power of truth and the flames of freedom. Do your part to keep the light shining! 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. Bernie Suarez has given us a valid list of ills in this piece. I would like to name the one that has made these other ten possible: the rise of the gene for psychopathy in the human race. Psychopathy is now well-recognized not as a mental illness or disorder, but as a genetically-based alternative hardwiring of the brain, one which leaves out the circuits for conscience, shame, guilt, or genuine emotions. In the ancestral environment of small tribes, anyone with these attributes was so despised they were likely to be ejected from the tribe or even killed by tribal decision. This kept the numbers of psychopaths down to a minimum. Then came the the agricultural revolution which allowed the growth of cities, with governments: hierarchies for a political class, bureaucrats, soldiers, and priests. These hierarchies and the anonymity provided by large cities became the perfect spawning ground for the rise of psychopathy, now up to 4% of the population. Note carefully that every one of the ten items above is made possible first and foremost by an absence of conscience, shame, or guilt. Humanity is in the middle of a genetic emergency, and right now the psychopaths are winning. The battle is for the future of our species, and the planet itself. The psychopaths running our civilization are now openly calling for killing 90% of humanity. This leaves them with the 4% of themselves surviving and another 6% of normals kept around to do their heavy lifting. There are three excellent introductions to psychopathy written for the layperson: Without Conscience, The Sociopath Next Door, and Snakes in Suits. Take your pick, any one will do, but become familiar with psychopathy and learn to recognize it when you see it. The future of humanity depends on it. I agree Tom, Ive often wondered what part the psychopath has had in the destruction of former civilizations and the deaths of millions, and is it an artifact of biology that arises to create havoc? Unfortunately we are not at the stage to handle them the old way. Ed In the book The Moral Animal author Robert Wright describes a I The Hadnt heard about the Sunfish behavior but its not to far removed to assume it is a related behavior to the Human species. Along those lines, I had read about a species of Salamander (although the specific species escapes me) that when the species over populates a given habitat, the normally invertebrate feeding salamanders suddenly start producing a percentage of off spring that is carnivorous to its own species. Sounds somewhat psychopathic as amphibians go. The poster moment for psychopathy was Hillary Clintons televised reaction to the death of Muammar Gaddafi. Gaddafi was a psychopath himself. Wrong, sorry. Cutting edge stem cell geneticsts and many others recognize that only a very small percentage of health is due to actual genetics. Most is due to the expression of genetics based upon epigenetic circumstances. The model you speak of is at least 40 yrs out of date, and contends that one gene = one protein. This inaccuracy is the same rationale allowing GMO idiocy. In truth, ONE fruit fly gene was expressed as 36,018 diffent proteins. The same gene will express differently if there are variations in minerals, enzymes, proteins and so much more. Psychiatry is a science in which NO biological markers for depression, ADHD, ADD, schizophrenia, etc have ever been proven AND no changes in biochemical markers have ever been measured when drugs are used. The seratonin/depression theory is remarkably that still: a theory, much contested by varied, valid scientists. i propose our psychopathy comes from society being led by the uber wealthy for so many decades the influence now spreads from the top down, through media, entertainment, govt and authority, the purchase and programming of experts, the buying of scientific outcomes through university research, and the glorification of negative social skills through all the above modalities, and the pressures upon society. Our self annointed elite morons have every fool trained to measure everything by a dollar amount. That makes people tacitly accept that money has the most value of all it trumps all. Then they parade w/their gorgeous women/sexy partners in expensive clothes and supposedly easy living and push this as the goal of all, the height of society. They do this KNOWING that they will prevent this being obtained. That makes it always a goal, a tool for manipulation, and a wedge in your mind to make you think you are somehow INFERIOR to these wealthy people when in actuality you are much more likely to be more intelligent, less rabid, and NOT morally retarded like the rich psychopaths. BOTH genetics and epigenetics are important drivers of health and behavior, the former predisposes phenotype and this includes behavioral genetics. Insights into epigenetics have given us a more nuanced view of medical science, not invalidated well studied genetic associations. Tom makes a valid point and you do too when you make the case that the psychopaths use groupthink, brainwashing, and propaganda to propagate their dysfunctional behavior and attitudes in the general public. Redwood probably live just north of me im just south of Mendocino in Lake Co. As the person watched the TV show the cells in another room (talk about double blind, lol) instantaneously responded as the body of the subject responded good producing one measurement, stress induced negative reactions as said, instantly. This was continued for 5 days and the separation extended to 50 miles. i want to research some of these studies the author quotes in the book, but not until i finish the book. You might want to check out an excellent commentary in the link below on The Perils of Pathocracy written by Michael Gaddy. He recommends a must read book: Political Ponerology; A science on the nature of evil for political purposes, by Andrew M. Lobaczewski http://thejacksonpress.org/?p=14373 I think its also the environment. Im from a third world country India and due to my work have dealt with many countries. Quite simply. The place with highest Psycopaths I have encountered is goodol US of A. Even migrants from third world countries become Psycopaths living in America for a while. I have seen the change in behaviour on many Asians in America. Due to the way America and West is designed. Its perfect breeding grounds for Psycopaths. obama should be the top nine things. Pollution should be included in this list nuclear, chemical, EMF, and genetic pollution. Consider the massive holocaust happening in the Pacific due to Fukushima. Or the thick clouds of burning plastic smoke that are part of the landscape in some asian countries, damaging DNA. Or the genocide of the Iraqi people by destroying their DNA with DU. Etc. All of these consideration Energy dependence is the most urgent problem. We cannot do anything without the cabal, were all addicted to zionist controlled fossil fuel therefore goy slaves. The Tesla/Moray free energy devices could have liberated us 90 years ago, but this energy secret was stolen during 1920-1945 (operation paperclip aka WWII). All the other problems mentioned are a direct consequence of economic slavery. Turning off the tv and burning the newspaper, it will not solve your main problem. Missed a couple: EMPs from sun or terrorism Chemical, Biological, there is only one problem: human stupidity Psychopaths are indeed at the root of humanitys ten greatest problems. A person cant drive on public roads without a vision test. It makes perfect sense. Doesnt it also make sense that anyone serving in public office should be subjected to regular psychological testing? Yet we dont do it! No wonder we end up with the morally insane running the whole planet! Fukushima has already decimated the Northern Hemisphere. I can list two other significant problems. 1 Many people in this society are well aware of the criminality and immoral behavior and do nothing about it. We willingly choose the cowardly act of going along to get along. This will be our undoing as nature has a way of fixing these imbalances, and it is usually violent. 2- We choose to fight with each other over who knows the broken playbook better, rather than agree to disagree and at least formulate some intelligent response to the attacks upon society. Re: your first point about going along to get along there is a classic study in which a panel had to decide which of several lines was the longest. Unbeknownst to one panel member, the others were actually research associates. It was found that a substantial percentage of the time, the associates could convince the actual subject of the research to switch his vote and agree that a shorter line was the longest. The conclusion of the research was that we are hardwired for our own social cohesiveness and personal safety to go along with others regardless of the truth in the matter. So we all have to ask ourselves if we had been in this study, would we have stuck to our guns and said the longer line was longer, or caved in to group pressure and agreed that a shorter line was longest? This would speak volumes about our personality and moral courage. Minarchists do nothing to challenge the underlying belief of statism: Sooooeverything? Dont forget the actual dangers to America: Democrats and the Republicans who quell before them. Thank you for not mentioning global warming. Bernie Suarez does not know the solutions to any of these 10 listed by not reading the War Manual and understanding the end times during the Great Tribulation set forth in fall of 5777? Why are those with the harden hearts the ones who desire to $$ profit on others who abilities far exceed any mental disorders; rather evidence does prove genius of common sense without hype on human being stupidity of their own ignorance. Mainstream media is unquestionably the greatest threat to the safety of humanity Huh? Has selfnewspost sold out to Monsanto? You dont even mention GMOs WTF! Nuclear energy, Fukushima and the future Fukushima-like meltdowns that will inevitably happen due to CMEs, earthquakes, terrorist activities, are definitely the worlds greatest problems. Until the nuclear genie has been put to rest, nothing else really matters humanity here on earth might have a few hundred years max. Id find some slot for the Fuku Flu which will bring a spectrum of challenges for anyone in the North Pacific. BP looks diligent in the gulf compared to the corporate and govt clowns involved in Japan. Excellent, but leaves out yet another intentional scheme that has resulted in horrific problems, and that is the intentional scheme of mass immigration to dilute and destroy national identity, national unity and culture. In America, in the past 25 years, we have 100 million new Americans who cannot speak, read or write in English and have no cultural American identity common to the Americans living in America before the mass immigration. By diluting any national identity, the destruction of nations is absolute, and in the vacuum, the World Government with its legions of UN soldiers is poured. Recently, I went to a large American zoo for 3 hours, where thousands were, and I heard English spoken by 6 different groups only. The new immigrants to America want only the American dream absorbed by them through media brainwashing, at the cost of destroying the indigenous Americans. Of course, from a karmic perspective, this is what Americans did to the native indigenous Americans, so after 400 years, todays Americans are, karmically, getting their comeuppance. However, the purpose of the dumbing down of America to prevent meaningful participation and the total dilution of America and requisite destruction of any national culture, identity or unity, will fully destroy America. I ultimately found your comment about how vaccines are now proven to cause autism both incredibly ignorant, hurtful, and overall completely brought the entire article into question. That is all I have to say. 
3	FAIL: Mercks Statin Drug Found No Better Than Coconut WaterSayer Ji, Contributor Coconut water has lipid lowering effect similar to the drug lovastatin in rats fed fat-cholesterol enriched diet. Studies like this, of course, will never make it to the level of the multi-phased human clinical trials necessary to gain FDA drug approval, owing to one simple fact: coconut water is not patentable, and therefore will not provide market exclusivity or the return on investment necessary to capitalize such a venture. Consider that, on average, over 800 million dollars is spent upfront on developing and testing each new drug intended for FDA approval. Statin Drugs: Defrauding the Public of Their Money Health When the water of a coconut is at least as effective as the drug that started the statin revolution in 1987 Mercks branded lovastatin extract known as Mevacor you know that the 30 billion dollar statin drug industry is based on a fundamentally erroneous premise: namely, that synthetic patentable chemicals are superior to natural ones, and therefore can be sold for usuriously high mark-ups. Moreover, we have identified over 300 unintended, adverse effects of statin drug use, with the top 20 listed below: While lowering cholesterol is not a priority for me, as I am not a lipid hypothesis convert to the contrary, I see the clear harms associated with low cholesterol people who are convinced that lowering cholesterol and/or lipoproteins reduces cardiovascular disease progression and/or cardiac mortality should at least be well informed as to the natural evidence-based alternatives that exist to drugs. After all, anything would be more reasonable than taking a metabolic poison to inhibit the production of cholesterol and/or lipoproteins on a cellular level. If we feel we must abide by largely drug industry-determined lipid guidelines, e.g. keeping LDL below 100 mg/dl, natural substances likepolicosanol or red yeast rice can do the job quite effectively. In fact, we have collected research on over 100 natural substances with lipid lowering properties. I am far more interested in the broad range of factors that contribute to atherosclerosis than simply suppressing cholesterol/lipoprotein levels through the by any chemical means necessary approach.

1	Excitement swept the financial world Monday, when a blue line jumped more than 11 percent, passing four black horizontal lines as it rose from 367.22 to 408.85. Blue-Line Composite Index It was the biggest single-day gain for a blue line since 1994. 'Even if you extend the blue line's big white box back many vertical lines, you won't find a comparably large jump,' said Milton Vogel, a senior analyst with Merrill Lynch. 'That line just kept going up, up, up.' The blue line, which had been sluggish ever since the red line started pointing down in April, began its rebound with an impressively pointy 7 percent rise Friday. By noon Monday, it had crossed the second horizontal line from the top for the first time since December. Ecstatic investors are comparing the blue line to the left side of a very tall, steep blue mountain. 'It's a really steep line,' said Larry Danziger, a San Jose, CA, day trader and golf enthusiast. 'I stand to make a tremendous amount of money as a result of the steepness of this line.' Wall Street traders react to the blue line's 41-point leap. 'It looks like the line's about to shoot out of the box,' said Boston-area investor Michael Lupert, enjoying a glass of white zinfandel on the bow of his 30-foot yacht. 'I'm definitely going to keep a close eye on this line as it continues to move to the right.' Despite such bullishness, some financial observers are urging caution. 'Given this line's long history of jaggedness, we really should take a wait-and-see approach,' Fortune magazine associate editor Charles Reames said. 'And even if this important line continues its upward pointiness, we must remember that there are other shapes, colors, numbers, and lines to consider when judging the health of the economy.' A group of white men makes cell-phone calls to discuss the blue line. Reames also warned that the upward angle of the line, which most analysts agreed was approximately 80 degrees, may have been exaggerated by the way the graph was drawn. 'The stuff that's written along the bottom of the graph is all squished together, making the line look a lot more impressive than it is,' Reames said. 'Had that same stuff been spread out more, the line would have looked a lot less steep.' Still, most U.S. investors found it hard to contain their enthusiasm as the blue line shot up sharply, outperforming the green line, the yellow line, and even the thriving dotted purple line. 'Typically, the blue line rises or falls no more than 10 in a day,' said Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Gruber. 'But Monday, it went up an astonishing 41and during a time when we have a big red slice showing on our pie charts, no less. We live in a truly remarkable time.' 
2	BREAKING: Hillary Clinton Makes Major Announcement According to recent reports, Hillary Clinton is slated to make a huge announcement in the beginning of 2015. Some believe that the former First Lady will be announcing her intention to run for president in 2016. The former Secretary of State has remained ambiguous as to whether or not she has the desire to run, although many liberals feel that she would be able to take the lead were she to throw her hat in the ring. What we know for sure is that Clinton likes to make herself heard, and we are sure that she wont be quiet in defending her approach to how she would handle the situations that Obama is facing. While in Mexico, Clinton told friends that she will make the decision sometime around the first of the upcoming year. This patterns her behavior when she announce her intention to run in 2007. What do you think? Is Hillary any better than Obama?

1	Shielding her eyes from the harsh light as she shuffled into her kitchen Tuesday morning, a visibly hungover Michelle Obama reportedly readied her daughter Sasha for school by packing her a lunch box of leftover hors doeuvres from the previous nights Inaugural Ball. Here you go, honey, have a nice day, the First Lady said while arranging an assortment of sorrel-wrapped goat cheese, duck confit, oysters a la poulette and other canaps into an insulated lunch pack. Be good. At press time, sources reported that while Sasha Obama appreciated the variety of foods, she herself was too hungover to eat. 
1	Citing curiosity as his primary motive, Bill Clinton typed his own name into the popular search engine Google.com during a lull in his daily activities, the former president reported Monday. Clinton browses the Internet in his Harlem office. 'I had no idea I would get 2,790,000 results!' Clinton said while seated before the Apple PowerBook in his Harlem office. 'Besides all the news articles, there were encyclopedia entries, links to Amazon for books about me, and tons of photos, too. I even came across some frame captures from those Rock The Vote shows I did back in 1992. I'm going to take a couple of those and make them my desktop picture, once I figure out how to tile them.' Although Clinton said he'd always assumed there was material about him on the Internet, his busy schedule prevented him from exploring it sooner. 'When I was president, people would sometimes mention an article about me on Slate or CNN.com, but I was too busy to read about myself then,' Clinton said. 'Out of the blue, though, I thought I'd just see what was out there in cyberspace about me. I'd just been sitting around playing online Mah Jongg, anyway. ' 'I never knew there was a Bill Clinton Joke-A-Day site,' Clinton said after opening his Internet browser, typing in 'Bill Clinton,' and clicking the 'I'm feeling lucky' button. 'I should forward this to Hillary,' Clinton said. 'She'd get a kick out of some of these. Hmm... She might not find that one too funny.' After quickly closing the page, Clinton said he was surprised by the number of humor sites devoted to him. 'I found a Clinton-sex crossword puzzle, a web site for something called the 'Clinton Dance,' and this one where you can warp my face,' Clinton said. 'My favorite site was Sincerelybill.com, where you can make a video of me saying stuff. I sent one to [Clinton's former Secretary of Agriculture] Dan Glickman. It said, 'I'm a consideration. We've testified to watching inappropriate neighbors.' He's gonna love that.' 'There's only about 200 words to choose from, so it's a little weird,' Clinton added. Clinton said he was delighted to find content about himself on several of the sites he regularly visits, like Infoplease.com and Encyclopedia.com. 'I never knew that I was on the Internet Movie Database,' Clinton said. 'I'm just a politician, not an actor, but there are 76 movies in my filmography. They have me down for JAG and Bill Clinton: Rock & Roll President. Officially, I'm listed as Jodie Foster's co-star for my appearance in Contact. That's pretty cool.' Clinton said his web search left him nostalgic for his presidency. Clinton looks at one 'Bill Clinton' link returned by his Google search. 'My years in the White House were such a whirlwind that it's hard to remember all the stuff that happened,' Clinton said. 'But going through these pages really brings back the good times. I found some really nice pictures of Al [Gore] and me on there, and some cute ones of Buddy.' 'There are so many articles, too. I want to read them all,' Clinton said. 'Well, some are kinda boring. But it's still amazing, just to see how much information is out there. They have where I went to college, my favorite foods, my parents' names. It's wild.' Clinton added that, as he progressed through the pages devoted to himself, he found some 'other Bill Clintons.' 'There's this other Bill Clinton who's a big Hendrix fan,' Clinton said. 'There's another one that books gay cruises, and another one that ran for county coroner in Iowa. There are a lot of other guys with my name out there, all across America. Kinda neat, huh?' The former president said he refined his search by entering 'William Jefferson Clinton' and '42nd President of the United States Bill Clinton,' into Google, but the combinations returned results much like those from his original search. Clinton then started to add qualifiers, searching for 'Bill Clinton + my inspiration' and 'Bill Clinton + sax.' 'The 'Clinton + hot' search was disappointing,' Clinton said. 'It turned up a few Arkansas tourism pages that listed Hot Springs [AR] as 'The hometown of Bill Clinton.' Or it brought up porn sites that had nothing to do with me.' Clinton said he considered the use of other search engines, like Ask Jeeves, but ultimately decided to do so only after he's satisfied that no new information can be found on Google. 'I've only gone through the first couple hundred web sites, and I still haven't used the 'groups' or the 'directory' search options,' Clinton said. 'I'll probably do that next. I remember I once stumbled on a chat room devoted to discussions about my presidency. Maybe I should pose as a conservative Republican and find out what people really think about me. That might be fun.'

2	Ikea Bows Down To Shariah Law In THIS Disgusting Way IKEA is facing some serious backlash after making the controversial decision to eliminate women from the Saudi edition of their catalog. The international store actually photoshopped women out of their ads in order to comply with the restrictive guidelines in Saudi Arabia, where any inch of flesh shown by a woman is considered a sin. Rather than complying with local religious dress codes, IKEA decided women were better off (literally) out of the picture. After receiving media backlash, IKEA is at risk of losing some of their customers. The superstore claims that they regret their decision, but the damage may have already been done. What do you think of IKEAs decision to remove women from their catalog? Should they have stood up to the oppression of women in Saudi Arabia or just refused to distribute their catalog altogether?

2	BREAKING: Devastating Tragedy Engulfs Ted Cruzs Family... He Needs Your Support Senator Ted Cruz has become one of the top presidential candidates for the GOP in the 2016 election. Given his charisma, it would be hard to know that Cruz is still haunted by a family tragedy that he struggles with every day. A little over two years ago, Cruzs sister Miriam died of a drug overdose. She was only 49 years old. Miriam struggled with drug addiction throughout her entire life. Cruz and his family had tried to reach out several times, but were unsuccessful in their efforts to keep her safe. In his book, Cruz describes his sisters a beautiful..quite intelligent and incredibly loving. Though she was a sweet person with a good heart, she slowly surrendered to her wild side, he concluded. I found it hard to reconcile the bright, fun, charismatic sister I adored with the person who would lie to me without hesitation and who stole money from her teenage brother to feed her various addictions. Some family members believe that the addiction began with prescription pills Miriam was taking for a car accident. Following the divorce from an abusive marriage, Miriam was arrested multiple times for possession and shoplifting. Cruz last attempt to save his sister was with his father, when they attempted to rescue Miriam from the crackhouse she was living in. Despite his attempts, Miriam died of an overdose. Fortunately, her son Joe grew up to be a strong and responsible man. He still keeps contact with the family. 
2	Hillary Clinton Doing Something Absolutely Sickening In NYC [SEE PHOTOS] Shortly after receiving criticism for flying on a private jet to give a speech in Ferguson, Hillary Clinton is showing that she has learned almost nothing. After wrapping up her fundraising tour in New York City, Clinton decided to head to Bergdorf Goodman, where she was photographed with her secret service detail Huma Abedin. Bergdorfs is one of the most expensive stores in Manhattan, carrying design brands ranging from Gucci to Valentino. Its clear that Clinton is no stranger to living a lavish lifestyle. She reportedly gets her hair cut by stylist John Barrett at $600 a pop. Keep in mind that this is at the same time that she is claiming to be a woman of the people and promising to take on systematic efforts to disempower and disenfranchise young people, poor people, people of color, and the elderly. What do you think? Is Hillary just going to be another president draining tax dollars if she makes it to the White House? 
3	Challenge: what US federal legislator will dare to get arrested over the TPP?By Jon Rappoport (To read about Jons mega-collection, Power Outside The Matrix, click here.) When puppets dance on the end of a string, they need to exhibit a pretense of freedom once in a while, to keep the customers interested. Its part of the show. Its part of the con. The Congress has now granted Obama fast-track authority. What does this actually mean? It means that, when the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) Treaty comes up for consideration soon, this gargantuan Globalist takeover of 12 national governments cannot be amended. It cannot be filibustered. From the time the TPP is introduced, no more than 90 days can elapse before the House and Senate cast their yes or no votes. Most people concede that the passage of fast-track ensures the passage of the TPP, but of course this isnt so. Nothing would prevent the Congress from voting the TPP down, especially and because the contents of the Treaty are secret. The public isnt informed of the details. Any US legislator with a trace of courage would do just thatvote it down. The legislators themselves have been allowed to enter a sealed room and read some of the content. But there is no guarantee that what theyre reading is in the final draft of the Treaty. The legislators may takes notes in the sealed room, but they cant keep their notes. They cant make copies. They cant discuss what theyve read with the press or the public. Again, on that basis alone, any legislator with a shred of honor would vote no on the Treaty. And no on secrecy. If a member of Congress did break omert and reveal to the public what he read in the sealed room, he would be violating Executive Branch regulations on classified data (national security), and he could be arrested. Well, that is exactly what a Senator or Representative who, with courage and honor, opposes the TPP, should welcome. An arrest? He should celebrate it. First of all, no sitting legislator is going to receive a stiff prison sentence for violating secrecy in this instance. Second, by being arrested, he would become a popular hero overnight and force the issue of secrecy into the global spotlight. Third, the whole idea of the Executive Branch forcing legislators to maintain secrecy on a trade treaty is egregiously illegaland the arrest of an honorable legislator would set up a potential Constitutional crisis. Which is exactly what this country needs. What crisis? Ever heard of the Separation of Powers? The Constitution was established to create three branches of governmentExecutive, Legislative, and Judiciary. The powers of each serve as a check and balance on the others, to prevent the federal government from becomingexactly what it is today: a bloated, fungal, expanding force dominating the states and the people. The Executive Branch telling the Legislative Branch it cant disclose the contents of a trade treaty to the press and public is a draconian overstep of its power and a clear violation of separation of powers. The fact that not one of these Senators or Representatives has revealed all he knows about the TPP, in order to correct this fundamental violation (and gotten arrested), is an absolute signal that theyre all faking it. Faking it. In broad daylight. A few legislators have alluded to what theyve read in the sealed roomsmall pieces of it. But thats it. Thats the extent of their outrage. The rest is all bullshit of the highest order. The debate over the TPP, the opposition, the objectionsall bullshit. Those Senators and Representatives who will eventually vote no on the TPP know very well that the majority will vote yes. So their no votes wont mean a thing, except for gaining a bit of publicity and perhaps currying a bit of favor with their constituency back home. The Executive Branch, under Obama, is actually providing an ideal opportunity for any honorable legislator. By classifying the TPP as secret, a Senator or Representative can get himself arrested and jump the fence. He can cause a massive uproar. He can also force his colleagues in the House and Senate to rally to his defenseor expose themselves as corrupt disloyal cowards. Its a perfect situation for any legislator with courage. But there are no takers. Theyre all fakers. Including Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Rand Paul. But they wont do it. Theyre part of what amounts to an unconstitutional federal collective, a club of little insiders, and they wont break those chains. Even when doing so would catapult themselves into the stratosphere as heroes. Can you imagine it? Every day one of them spends in jail, his/her staff would be issuing statements to the press demanding the restoration of separation of powers. And the headlines? And stories? Bernie keeps spilling secrets in jail! Its been revealed that Bernie Sanders, in his cell, is telling his guards everything he knows about the details of the TPP. He wont shut up. We have a report that the guards have been given soundproof ear pads to wear. Bernie is scratching details of the TPP on the walls of his cell with his fingernails Now THATS a stage play. Id pay to see that play. That play would wake a lot of people up. And for those who, even then, would refuse to fathom whats going onback to your snoozefest. Everything is wonderful.

2	Congress Votes To Ban The Muslim Brotherhood From America, See What Happens According to recent reports, Congressional efforts are currently underway to officially name the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. The bill is known as the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2014, and was created by Representative Michelle Bachmann. The bill seeks to assign some heavy sanctions to the organization, and any groups that support the organization both in American and in Europe. The bill has received support from several cosponsors. Many believe that the bill is overdue. The Muslim Brotherhood, a new political party in the US, has long been deemed a terrorist group but this bill would prove that the Muslim Brotherhood has played an integral role in planning and carrying out terrorist attacks. It also seeks to prevent anyone with affiliation to the Brotherhood to be denied a visa in the US. What do you think? Do you support this legislation? 
3	Laying the Foundation for a North American Security PerimeterDana Gabriel, Contributor It further builds on initiatives included in the Beyond the Border agreement and is part of ongoing efforts to lay the foundation for a North American security perimeter. On June 5, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano announced the Northern Border Strategy (NBS) aimed at deterring and preventing terrorism, smuggling, trafficking and illegal immigration. In a press release she explained how the new plan, provides a unifying framework for the Departments work focused on enhancing the security and resiliency along our northern border while expediting legitimate travel and trade with Canada. In order to accomplish these objectives, the NBS seeks to, improve information sharing and analysis within DHS, as well as with key partners. The Department will also enhance coordination of U.S.-Canada joint interdictions and investigations, deploy technologies to aid joint security efforts along the border, and continue to update infrastructure. The NBS parallels the National Northern Border Counternarcotics Strategy issued in January. It also supports goals outlined in the U.S.-Canada Beyond the Border action plan which focuses on addressing security threats early, facilitating trade, economic growth and jobs, integrating cross-border law enforcement, as well as improving infrastructure and cyber-security. Another facet of the perimeter security deal is the U.S.-Canada Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC) action plan. It seeks greater regulatory alignment in the areas of agriculture and food, transportation, the environment, health, along with consumer products. In January, government representatives, as well as industry officials held regulatory meetings in Washington. The RCC has now published work plans in some of the specific areas noting that the rest of them will be posted when they are finalized. As part of the Beyond the Border agreement, the U.S. and Canada are also working towards an integrated cargo security strategy. In May, they agreed to a new mutual recognition initiative whereby, cargo shipped on passenger aircraft will now be screened only once for transportation security reasons, at the point of origin and will not need to be rescreened prior to upload on an aircraft in the other country. Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy James Nealon proclaimed that, Through this program, we will be able to move goods between U.S. and Canada faster, more efficiently, and most securely. A Transport Canada backgrounder acknowledged that, Air cargo is just the start. Canada and the U.S. are working together to strengthen co-ordination, co-operation and timely decision-making at the border for cargo shipped by sea or land with a view to increasing two-way trade, and reducing travel and commercial disruptions. When the Action Plan is fully implemented, the principle of screened once, accepted twice is intended to apply to all modes of shipping cargo. In order to keep trade flowing across the northern border, Canada is being pressured to further take on U.S. security priorities. Last month, there were a series of U.S.-Canada joint consultation sessions with stakeholders regarding facilitating cross-border business. In addition, Public Safety Canada and the DHS issued the document, Considerations for United States-Canada Border Traffic Disruption Management. According to a news release it, fulfills one of the first commitments under the Canada-U.S. Action Plan on Perimeter Security and Economic Competitiveness. The joint emergency guide, outlines best practices and identifies critical issues to consider when developing or updating traffic management plans to ensure they are tailored to address regional requirements and individual border crossings. Minister of Public Safety Vic Toews stated that, This plan is the result of close collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders, including government officials from the local, state, and provincial/territorial level, to manage the flow of traffic near the border during a disruption. He went on to say, Implementation of this guide will help maintain economic stability and ensure that priority traffic moves freely towards and away from the secure Canada-U.S. border during times of crisis. Through various initiatives, NAFTA partners are laying the foundation for a fully integrated North American security perimeter. In the advent of a terrorist attack, disaster or any other perceived threat to the continent, the U.S. could then execute control over the security perimeter. The global elite are not ones to let a serious crisis go to waste. Such a scenario would also provide the perfect cover needed to officially usher in a North American Union.

1	Saying that he wants to provide a unique, enjoyable listening experience that draws from all periods of his life, area man Ian Watts told reporters Wednesday that he has been tinkering with his set list of anecdotes ahead of an upcoming date this weekend. Im thinking of opening with a quick, high-energy story about my dog to really set the tone for the night, and then Ill transition right into some of my earlier college stuff, said Watts, noting the importance of interspersing light, upbeat reminiscences with more emotional, deeper cuts from his personal life in order to build a varied lineup that would connect with his audience. Ill probably try to mix things up this time by bringing out some of the classics early on, like recounting my job delivering pizzas in high school or my first apartment, before I launch into some newer stuff. Ive been working on this one about my recent experience on jury duty that Id love to try out. Of course, Ill close the night with the time I took the same plane as Regis Philbin, like usual. Watts added that in the event hes invited back to his dates apartment, hell be sure to save a few chestnuts from his semester in Italy as an encore. 
1	After several minutes of heavy skepticism, television star and compensated product endorser Tom Wopat was won over by the DeFroster 2000, a revolutionary new device that defrosts frozen foods in literally seconds. 'It's impossible,' a disbelieving Wopat said after hearing about the remarkable product, available through an exclusive television offer for $24.99. 'Why, this steak is frozen solid.' Moments later, Wopat broke out in astonished laughter as the DeFroster 2000 proved him wrong. Wopat added that he is available for work. 
1	Daniel Barriault is serving a time-out for a crime the 5-year-old claims he didnt commit. Charged with possession of three Oreo cookies only a half-hour before supper and sentenced to a bare 8-by-12-inch bedroom corner for eight minutes, Barriault has had just one thing on his mind while waiting for his release. One thing and three people. Barriault 'Just a little while longer now,' said Barriault, who slowly counted down his corner term to 20 before becoming confused and having to start all over again. 'Ive learned my lesson, but what they dont realize is that their lesson has not even yet begun.' After four failed getaway attempts into the basement, Barriault was apprehended early Monday evening by household penal authorities Mommy and Daddy, likely operating on an anonymous tip from the 'queen of all snitches,' Barriaults older sister, Ashley, 7. 'I may have been innocent when they put me in here, but Im sure as heck not innocent now,' said Barriault, who has served time-outs for a wide range of offenses over the years, including public misconduct, second-degree assault of a sibling, and vandalism misdemeanors when only 17 months old. 'They took eight minutes of my life away, eight minutes of playtime Ill never get back, eight minutes of cartoons Ill never get the chance to experienceand for that, they will pay.' Mondays capture of the young repeat offender was followed by a lengthy and disorderly trial, in which Barriault, who chose to represent himself, deliberately disrupted the proceedings by screaming and running around in circles until he had to be forcibly detained. Barriault alleges that he was then escorted with unnecessary force to his bedroom, made to empty out his pockets of three Yu-Gi-Oh! trading cards before being 'worked over good by Mom' and receiving his sentence. It remains unclear whether Barriault was ever offered a deal for apologizing for his behavior. Barriault quietly seethes. 'In this corner, you have plenty of time to think,' said Barriault, who claimed to have 'tons of friends on the outside,' including Jimmy, Josh, and Nana and Papa. 'I know exactly what Im going to do when my time is up. Who Im going to visit. Plans? Yeah, you could say Ive got some plans.' According to Barriault, being in the corner 'is unlike anything else in the world.' It can break the spirit of even the toughest of 5-year-olds, crush their confidence, and reduce them to nothing more than a 'stupid little baby.' 'This place, it can make a preschooler forget who they are, why it is they dont like to share their Matchbox cars with other kids, what exactly about the taste of cauliflower makes it so yucky,' added Barriault, who admitted that he can no longer remember what the touch of a good crayon feels like. 'I wouldnt wish this place on my worst enemies. No. Ive got something entirely different in store for them.' Fidgeting either in anticipation of his release or from a growing urge to use the bathroom, Barriault told reporters Monday that despite not even being in the first grade, he never forgets a face. 'Ive done my time. Ive been a good little boy whos seen the error of his ways,' said Barriault with a smile. 'And as soon as I get out, Ill make things right. Ill make sure everything gets made right. Cross my heart and hope to die.' 'Stick a needle in my eye,' he added. 
3	After Pot Legalized in Colorado, ALL Drug-Related Charges Drop Significantly, Record RevenueBy Justin Gardner First and foremost, thousands of people are not being thrown in a cage for possessing a plant. Charges for possession, cultivation and distribution have dropped more than 80%. Besides sparing people the stigma and financial burden of a cannabis arrest, cops and courts arent wasting taxpayer money going after pot smokers. Its heartening to see that tens of thousands of otherwise law-abiding Coloradans have been spared the travesty of getting handcuffed or being charged for small amounts of marijuana, said Art Way, Colorado State Director for the Drug Policy Alliance. By focusing on public health rather than criminalization, Colorado is better positioned to address the potential harms of marijuana use, while diminishing many of the worst aspects of the war on drugs. There is another interesting statistic coming out of Colorados legalization of recreational cannabis. According to the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA), all drug-related charges have dropped by 23% on a judicial district level. It seems that ending pot prohibition can have positive effects in other areas of the war on drugs. On the issue of tax revenue, Colorado has beaten expectations with a projected $125 million collected in 2015. This is almost three times what the state collected in 2014. Analysts attribute this to a variety of factors, including more dispensaries open, more tourists visiting those pot shops, and more people deciding to try cannabis. I attribute it to more and more people comfortable with the legalization of marijuana, said Tyler Henson, president of the Colorado Cannabis Chamber of Commerce. They dont see it as something thats bad for them. The revenue from cannabis tax is used for a variety of purposes, such as improving local public schools, behavioral health programs and youth prevention. For example, the Tony Grampsas Youth Development program, which provides necessary services to youth at risk likely to be disproportionately targeted by punitive prohibition policies, will receive $23 million in the 2015/2016 fiscal year. The overarching message here is that Colorado has embraced a public health approach to cannabis, instead of making pot users into fodder for the criminal justice system. By accepting the reality of cannabis, including its medical benefits, states can be laboratories for research and the development of humane policies. The Free Thought Project has documented several other good things about Colorados cannabis legalization. Cannabis businesses have donated large sums of money to clean up highways, teen cannabis use has declined, prescription drug use is down, and deaths from opiate painkillers have declined dramatically. Highway car accident deaths are at their lowest ever, and even violent crime has significantly decreased. It is more difficult to attribute these last two to legalization, but the trends are nonetheless there. The best way to validate these statistics is for more states to free their citizens from the shackles of prohibition. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com OK- COLORDO what abou9t all the DUI and DWI accidents that occuar while these POT HEADSS are high on POT along with that figure add in all the DEATHS these POT HEADS are causing while behind the wheel ??????????????????????????/// Please read the article. It clearly said: Somitcw Dont waste your time or breath on trying to make the Sailor understand what has happened to Colorado in terms of statistics . no matter what the statistics are he or she will never acknowledge any benefit by the legalization of Marijuana . I know scores of people who use pot and they have never been involved in any criminal act or unsocial behavior but have been criminalized by governments and police for smoking pot . perhaps our governments are finally waking up to the fact that it is better to make money out of peoples habits rather than imprisoning them for such a minor offense of pot usage . Forty yrs of criminalizing and ruining peoples lives and only now do they realize it was a waste of time . God help us!! Gosh. I detect anger. Burn one and lighten up. By your logic we should make alcohol illegal. One thing they didnt bring up in this article it hurts the drug cartels. If car wrecks are down that must mean that potheads are safer drivers than alcoholics Move to Colorado and imbibe,imbibe,imbibe. It is a healthy viable alternative to hangovers and alcohol related dependencies. Hemp oil (cbd derived from cold press) has established itself as a cure for various disease including cancer, palsy and tremors of all types. 83footsailor think about what you are saying way more lives have been destroyed by alcohol. Texas needs to do this..NOW Ill bet the lawyers are ticked off 
2	You Wont Believe What Obama Just Said About The Bible You Will Be SICK For someone who claims to be a Christian, President Obama is sure quick to criticize the Bible and the very foundation of the religion. Perhaps more disturbing is his willingness to discount the Constitution and Declaration of Independence as President of the United States. According to recent reports, Obama believes all three of these texts are ridden with sexism. The Defense Department recently approved a sexism course which talks about how these three documents contribute to modern sexism. The course teaches that these historical documents are actually historical influences that allow sexism to continue. The presentation as built by the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institution. The presentation goes on to point to several quotes from the Bible, the reference to all men in the Declaration of Independence, and the idea that the Constitution did not cover the rights of slaves and women until later in history. What do you think of the course? Is it an insult to our heritage?

3	Rider in House Bill Seeks to Let Dow Keep Spraying Fluoride Pesticide on Our FoodMelissa Melton First the Supreme Court ruled that pharmaceutical companies are exempt from lawsuits. Then aMonsanto rider magically found its way into a non-related 2013 Senate spending bill. Now, a rider protecting Dow Chemicals sulfuryl fluoride pesticide (known by the market name Vikane) has found its way into the 2014 House Appropriations Bill to stop the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from phasing out the chemicals use on the U.S. food supply. Back Story In 2011, the EPA announced tolerance levels for the chemical fumigant sulfuryl fluoride would be phased out: Sulfuryl fluoride is currently registered for the control of insect pests in stored grains, dried fruits, tree nuts, coffee and cocoa beans, and for use in food handling and processing facilities. Although sulfuryl fluoride residues in food contribute only a very small portion of total exposure to fluoride, when combined with other fluoride exposure pathways, including drinking water and toothpaste, EPA has concluded that the tolerance (legal residue limits on food) no longer meets the safety standard under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) and the tolerances for sulfuryl fluoride should be withdrawn. The phase out began in 2011 was set to take three years, thus the clock is winding down on Dows fluoride product being sprayed all over our food. In response, Dow, one of the largest pesticide producers in the world, put out a none-too-thrilled press release. What Is It? To give you an idea of how much of this stuff is being put on your food in a given year, an exposure risk characterization document out of Californias EPA claims the state used 3,045,084 pounds of sulfuryl fluoride in 2002 alone (and thats just one state). Dows Rider in the 2014 House Appropriations Bill Dow has already tried to use its lobbying power to find a way to block the EPA and keep spraying their chemicals on our food by persuading 15 Congress members to introduce the Pest Free Food Supply Act (H.R.1496): If passed, the bill would make the United States one of only two western nations to allow sulfuryl fluoride on food, increase the number of American children ingesting unsafe levels of fluoride, and create a food poisoning risk for consumers who purchase food that contains permissible levels of the fumigant. The act, sponsored by Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA) and 14 others, seeks to prevent the proposed phaseout of sulfuryl fluoride from taking effect. According to the Fluoride Action Network (FAN), Dow also attempted to thwart the phase out in the most recent Farm Bill. That trick didnt work either. Curiously, we now have Section 449 in the 2014 House Appropriations Bill which states: SEC. 449. None of the funds made available by this Act may be used by the Environmental Protection Agency to prepare and finalize an order under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 346a) that in any way removes, withdraws, revokes, or stays tolerances for the pesticide chemical sulfuryl fluoride if that final order takes into consideration aggregate or cumulative exposure to other substances related to sulfuryl fluoride or its metabolites or degradates pursuant to sections 408(b)(2)(A), 408(b)(2)(C), 408(b)(2)(D)(v), and 408(b)(2)(D)(vi) of such Act (21 U.S.C. 346a (b)(2)(A), 346a(b)(2)(C), 346a(b)(2)(D)(v), and 346a(b)(2)(D)(vi)). Dow This basically says the EPA CANNOT stop this stuff a chemical lovingly brought to us from the same company that (along with Monsanto) gave us Agent Orange from being used on our food! Its dirty-handed and downright despicable. Contact Your Rep and Try to Get This Stopped! The House Committee on Appropriations subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies is currently considering this piece of legislation. Obviously the system is a broken piece of corporatist trash, but it wont hurt to try and raise Hell to our representatives to get this stopped. It is currently being reported that the Monsanto Protection Act may be repealed because of the work of activists; maybe we can keep this from happening too! The Fluoride Action Network has set up a pre-written letter you can email your representatives today. Its time we asked ourselves: when is the last time a piece of federal legislation had our best interests in mind? Is every single bill in this country rife with sneaky back doors that are basically written to benefit corporations and put profits above people? Makes me sick (probably literally).

2	ISIS Leader Abu Bakr alObama repeatedly assures America that ISIS is under control and does not pose a serious threat. However, there is a plethora of evidence stating otherwise. Top ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi just released a video threatening attacks on the U.S., Israel, E.U, and Russia. This is Bagdadis first video release in 7 months, and its no joke. Here is a short part translated: The Jews thought we forgot Palestine and that they had distracted us from it. Not at all, Jews. We did not forget Palestine for a moment. With the help of Allah, we will not forget it The pioneers of the jihadist fighters will surround you on a day that you think is distant and we know is close. We are getting closer every day You will never find comfort in Palestine, Jews. Palestine will not be your land or your home, but it will be a graveyard for you. Allah assembled you in Palestine so that the Muslims may kill you, so that you may hide behind stones and trees. Baghdadi goes into more detail about America, EU, and Russia in the full 24 minute clip below. Does Obama need to recognize ISIS as a serious threat? 
2	Paula Deen Absolutely Destroys Michelle Obama Over Healthy Food Campaign According to recent reports, it appears that First Lady Michelle Obama and Southern Chef Paula Deen are feuding it out, after Deen claimed that Michelle eats fattening foods whenever she wants. While Deen was promoting the release of Paula Deens Southern Cooking Bible, the TV star allegedly pointed out that hypocritical Michelle is known to gorge herself on French fries, chicken wings, and even deep-friend Snickers bars! According to sources, Michelles spitting mad. But Paulas comments seem to be justified, and Michelle even admitted on one of Paulas shows that friend shrimp was her familys favorite meal. Shes no different than the rest of us, Paula told reporters. She probably ate more than any other guest I ever had on the show! She kept eating even during commercials. Know what (the Obamas) favorite foods are? Hot wings? Yknowthose kinds of foods that arent necessarily top-of-the-list healthy foods. What do you think? Is Michelle a hypocrite? 
2	What Michelle Obama Did Yesterday Will Make You Sick [VIDEO] Michelle Obama is a lot of things, but you would hard-pressed to say that she is a good judge of what is appropriate. She proved that once more when she took the streets of Washington D.C. with a can of spray paint. According to reports from TMZ, Michelle encouraged young people to make a statement by spraying hearts all over a wall to promote International Womens Day. This is not sending a great message, considering that graffiti is already an epidemic in America where criminals destroy national landmarks with profanity and art. It would appear to us the first lady is endorsing this kind of behavior, and the city cant be happy about it. Watch the video below and tell us what you think? 
3	You Are Not Alone: Finding Freedom in an Age of ConfusionBy Derrick Broze The process of self-discovery and learning to question the commonly accepted beliefs that most of our society holds as infallible is not always an easy or especially fun journey. For many of us the process can be quite scary as you feel like your whole life has been turned upside down. Both of us have vivid memories of many nights spent researching the nature of government and the nature of reality itself. Sleepless nights often lead to hopeless days and depression. When you wake up and challenge dogmas related to government, health, relationships, authority, and history, you may experience a journey similar to those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. In her 1969 book,On Death and Dying, Swiss psychiatrist Elisabeth Kbler-Ross discussed what came to be known as the Kbler-Ross model of grief. This included five different stages denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. This was not meant to be seen as a specific set of stages every individual will experience, or a specific order in which they may occur. Some individuals may grieve for long periods of time and experience all the stages while others may not. Still, the model offers some insight into what one may experience after challenging everything they have ever been taught or told by parents, teachers, priests, and politicians. These feelings of anger and depression can often lead to feeling alone in a world of insanity. For far too long, people who have cared about freedom and have imagined a better world for our species, have felt alone in their interests, and have been forced into the fringes of society. However, as the philosophy of freedom and non-aggression is beginning to seep into the mainstream culture, the times are changing. There has always been a portion of society who reject authority in their hearts without ever crossing paths with another anti-authoritarian, liberation-minded person. Today the world is much smaller and there is now a wealth of information available to more people than ever. Our digital world allows free thinkers to cross paths with regularity, which is helping to push along the philosophical renaissance predicted in The Conscious Resistance Reflections on Anarchy and Spirituality. With that said, there is still plenty of work to be done. Unfortunately, we are fighting an uphill battle where our opponent was given a head start. The vast majority of people alive today in the Western world were molded by the State in public schools and entertained by propaganda. Many of these people have been taught a deep love and support for the status quo. Still, despite the propaganda, the human spirit is so resistant to the irrational and unnatural concept of authority that even after twelve years of indoctrination and constant manipulation, we can still overcome and free our minds. Despite the growing awakening, you may have experienced uncomfortable situations when you try to talk about your concerns in public. This creates a situation where no one feels comfortable sharing their opinions in public and none of us truly know how many rebels exist. In reality, there are a lot more rebels out there than most people think, but many go unnoticed because human beings want to fit in, and often we will avoid speaking about uncomfortable truths or ideas to avoid being ostracized. This is why it is important for you to start making as much noise as possible. We must let the other rebels know they are not alone and encourage them to come out of hiding. Deep down we are all rebels, and the more people who step forward to admit it, the closer we will be to achieving freedom. We are all born rebels that is our natural state. It is only after a lifetime of being beaten down by an insane culture that we come to embrace insanity for the sake of convenience. Could it be possible that everyone out there is just pretending to go along with the status quo? It seems even those who wholeheartedly embrace it are still forced to use watered-down language and euphemisms to describe the world around them because the cold hard truth is simply too much to bear. As the States failed policies and unsustainable practices become more obvious, the status quo will become less of a convenience for people and they will begin to open to new ideas more than ever, and the rebels will come out of hiding. These like-minded people are already all around you, and the more open that you are about your own beliefs the more open-minded people you will attract. This doesnt mean that its a good idea to get in everyones faces about it and create awkward situations for yourself, but it would be a wise move to begin testing the waters with subtle hints about your new-found beliefs and see if anyone picks up. Find out who may be receptive to your ideas and who refuses to listen. If someone is genuinely not interested do not force your views as this will only create tension in your personal life. It is important to remember not to be resentful and hateful towards those who cannot or will not research the information that is hiding behind the curtain. Words like sheeple and statist quickly turn from descriptors of an ignorant person, to a way to dismiss anyone who may not agree with your opinion or theory. We have to learn to accept people where they are and help those we can. The goal is collective liberation through individual empowerment, so ultimately it is up to each individual to carve their own path to freedom. Sometimes all you can do is plant seeds. Surely, we are not the only ones who have noticed that even the freedom movement is quickly becoming as polarized and divided as the mainstream political circles. While it is absolutely important to remain true to your individual principles, it may not be the most productive action to immediately disregard anyone who doesnt see the world exactly as you see it. The truth is, we all have blind spots in our thinking and we all have things to learn from other people. It is possible to have a friendly conversation with someone who sees the world completely different from you without sacrificing your beliefs, and without expecting them to sacrifice theirs. Thats not to say that there are no right or wrong answers, because in many cases there are things which can be verified and proven, but standing on opposing ends of an issue and shoving ideas down one anothers throats is how the republicrats communicate. It is not how free people should communicate with each other. For those of us standing outside of the left/right political paradigm, we see the stagnation and inefficiency that is caused by this sort of divisive approach to communication and problem solving. Debates in political circles are typically centered around attacking your opponent and showing off, instead of being focused on actually solving the problems at hand. This is one of the many reasons why the solutions to the worlds problems will not come from governments as we know them today. We must recognize that a growing number of people throughout the world are becoming disgusted with the violence and subjugation that has become commonplace in society. We all come from different backgrounds, environments, and experiences. The information that has shaped our worlds differs from individual to individual. We have entered this movement with different preconceived notions about why we are in this mess and how to get out. This may seem like a dangerous and volatile situation to someone used to seeing people with different opinions tear each other apart, but in reality this is a beautiful gift that we should all embrace as we attempt to learn from each other. If we think of the global situation as a giant puzzle, we can describe all of these different people with different viewpoints as a unique piece in that puzzle that is essential for its completion. Some of us may be conservative on certain issues and liberal on others. We may call ourselves voluntaryists or libertarians, constitutionalists or anarchists. We may be socialists or futurists, communists or individualists. We may disagree on a range of ideas, but the bottom line is that we have a great deal to learn from one another. There is no way we are going to fight the mercantilist monster that stands before us if we dont respect one anothers opinions and banish the idea that someone with a different opinion may actually have something valid to teach. As free thinkers we should celebrate the moment that we learn new information, even if that information may cause us to change our minds and feel differently about certain things. ESPECIALLY if that information causes us to change our minds. The ability to overcome ones own bias and humbly change your mind when presented with new information is one of the fundamental characteristics of being a free thinker. Again, we want to be clear that this does not mean that you should go around agreeing with what everyone says, or that you cant be firm in your convictions, but it is just as important to remember that we are in this fight to solve problems and reduce the level of accepted violence. We are not here to break each other down and further divide our world. We are here to teach, learn, and build a better world. Engaging in debates with people who are deeply entrenched in their own worldview may have some importance and value, but you will be disappointed if you expect to find like-minded people through this process. Thats not to say you shouldnt associate or discuss philosophy with people who disagree with you, because you absolutely should; but the more often we interact connect with our brothers and sisters of similar worldview and goals, the more we contribute to a paradigm shift of hearts and minds. A paradigm shift is a process in which individuals gains new knowledge which completely alters and evolves their understanding of the world. We believe we are currently experiencing a paradigm shift that has been taking place for generations with increasing awareness in the last decades of the 20th century. By educating yourself about the hidden truths of the world and seeking solutions that empower each of us, you are contributing to this paradigm shift. As the State continues its death march and eventual collapse, it will become increasingly important to build communities in the digital and physical worlds. Together we can educate each other and create solutions which put an end to systematic oppression, and allow the human spirit to flourish.

3	Putting Measles into Proper PerspectiveAccording to the FactsCatherine J. Frompovich Fact There are 23 strains/genotypes of measles: The WHO [World Health Organization] currently recognizes 8 clades, designated A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H. Within these clades there are 23 recognized genotypes, designated A, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, D9, D10, E, F, G1, G2, G3, H1, and H2, and 1 provisional genotype, d11. [1] Which strain/genotype of measles is in the MMR vaccine? Fact According to the MMRII vaccine package insert, its the Enders attenuated Edmonston strain [2] an attenuated live strain, which is genotype A [3]. Which strain of measles was found in the Disneyland, California, outbreak that has caused panic in parents and nothing short of vaccine anarchy? Fact According to the U.S. CDCs Health Alert Network (HAN), Measles genotype information was available from 9 measles cases; all were genotype B3 [New York USA] and all sequences linked to this outbreak are identical. [4] Therefore, what that means is that a different strain/genotype [B3] of measles is circulating in the USA from the measles strain/genotype in the MMRII vaccinegenotype A. Consequently, both vaccinated and non-vaccinated persons with weak immunities can contract measles. Furthermore, the strain/genotype of Disneyland measles was confirmed by scientific testing known as PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction). So, the measles vaccine does not provide antigen response immunity for the B3, just the Edmonston A genotype. Now you know why so many people are contracting measles: Even though they are vaccinated, they have no immunity! Additionally, the CDC also advises that since the Edmonston strain of measles is an attenuated live strain, recently vaccinated children are capable of infecting other people they come in contact with for up to two weeks! One of the CDCs own senior epidemiologists, Dr. William Atkinson, stated, Measles transmission has clearly been documented among vaccinated persons. Furthermore, in 1995 the Journal of Clinical Microbiology documented that vaccinees could become active disease carriers in an article titled, Detection of Measles Virus RNA in Urine Specimens from Vaccine Recipients [5]. The most probable reason is that the vaccine weakens the immune system thereby making vaccinees more susceptible to measles. [6] Vaccinees also can come down with measles from the vaccine! According to Live Science, About 3 percent of people who receive two doses of the measles vaccine will get measles if they come in contact with someone who has the virus, according to the CDC. [7] So, readers now can understand a lot more about the apparent consensus-science the CDC/FDA and health agencies everywhere have been telling the media, public, and parents. Even though the CDC/FDA claim it is the unvaccinated who are spreading measles, here are some hardcore statistics regarding measles outbreaks in the United States. According to the New England Journal of Medicine 1987; 316:771-74; Journal of the American Medical Association 1990; 263:2467-71; and several CDC MMWR reports, Measles occurred in the following years, school populations and the percent that were vaccinated: As an aside, heres something readers ought to know about measles: Atypical measles occurred in children who received formalin-inactivated (killed) measles vaccine that was in use in the United States from 1963 to 1968 [34]. These children developed high fever, a rash that was most prominent on the extremities and often included petechiae, and a high rate of pneumonitis [3436]. Recent studies in monkeys indicate that this illness was caused by antigen-antibody immune complexes resulting from incomplete maturation of the antibody response to the vaccine [3738]. [9] [CJF emphasis added] So, you see, there are problems with vaccines, which are not being fully disclosed by medical personnel other than get your damn shots! Formalin is a form of formaldehyde. Currently, formaldehyde is an ingredient in vaccines. [12] Its rather interesting that recent research indicated that there were problems with the antigen response capabilities of the 1963-68 vaccine, which basically did not enable the vaccinees bodies to make a complete antigen antibody response, which vaccinology considers immunity. Are vaccines effective? According to statistics, there have been no deaths in the USA from wild measles, i.e., strains not included in the vaccine, since 2005. However, according to the VAERS reports during a ten-year span, there have been 108 deaths from the MMR vaccine, 68 of them in children who were under three years of age. (Source) According to VaccinationLiberation.org, FACT: Before the vaccine was introduced, it was extremely rare for an infant to contract measles. However, by 1993 more than 25% of all measles cases were occurring in babies under one year old. CDC (Centre for Disease Control) officials attribute it to the growing number of mothers who were vaccinated during the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. (When natural immunity is denied, measles protection cannot be passed onto their babies.) 8 [10] [CJF emphasis added] FACT: According to a study by the World Health Organisation (W.H.O.), those vaccinated against measles are 14 times more likely to contract the disease than those left unvaccinated. 13 [11] The exalted state of herd immunity that federal and state health agencies keep promoting, as if akin to attaining nirvana, is nothing more, in my opinion, than a fabrication of medical semantics, as anyone can realize from the measles vaccine alone that there are many more strains/genotypes of infectious diseasesmeasles in this case, which are not covered in vaccinations and which vaccines cannot provide immunity for. Furthermore, vaccines tag the immune system in a way that interferes with the workings of natural immunity. Vaccines activate the humoral branch, which now has been renamed the adaptive branch, rather than the innate branch of the immune system, and that just may be one of the causes for adverse reactions to vaccines, plus vaccine failures, I offer. Another classic example of vaccine failure or ineffectiveness is the influenza vaccine. The 2014-15 strain is nothing short of a bust. On January 15, 2015, Reuters published, More than three quarters of U.S. flu shots ineffectivereport. Any other defective, or ineffective, product would be recalled, but not vaccinesjust keep pushing them into an unsuspecting and ever-obliging, vaccine-proselytized public! Although and granted, there is one aspect of human health that all vaccines are very operative init is this: Syringing very toxic chemicals into infants, toddlers, teens, and adults! Heres the chemical list from the CDC PinkBook of 2011: Ovalbumin, human serum albumin, bovine albumin, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate, aluminum phosphate, aluminum potassium sulfate, amino acids, ammonium sulfate, amphotericin B, ascorbic acid, bactopeptone, beta propiolactone, benzethonium chloride, brilliant green dye, calcium carbonate, calcium chloride, chlortetracycline, cystine, dextran, DNA, Dulbeccos modified Eagle Medium, ethylenediamine- tetraacetic acid sodium, egg protein, ferric (III) nitrate, formaldehyde-formalin, gelatin, genetamicin, glucose glutamine, glutaraldehyde, glycerin, glycine, histidine, hydrochloric acid, hydrocortisone, lactose, magnesium stearate, magnesium sulfate, monosodium glutamate, mouse serum protein, MRC-5 cellular protein (aborted fetal cell line), neomycin, phenol, phenol red, 2-phenoxyethanol, phosphate buffers (eg.

2	Refugee Stabs And Kills 22 Year Old Girl According to recent reports, a 22-year-old woman was just stabbed to death by a 15-year-old migrant in Sweden. Alexandra Mezher did not know her fate when she signed up to work at the center in Molndal. Mezher began working at an asylum center in the city of Molndal, helping unaccompanied minor migrants adapt to life in their adopted home, The Washington Post wrote of the incident. She was killed by one of those young migrants. It is so terrible, Mezhers cousin said in an interview with reporters. She was a person who wanted to do good. And then he murdered her when she was doing her job. Mezhar had only been working at the center for a few months at the time of the tragic incident. She was originally of Lebanese Christian origin, and she lived with her parents 40 miles outside of the city. She was reportedly working alone at the housing, which was home to ten unaccompanied minors. Despite rules that the staff should work in pairs, Mezher had been working a night shift by herself. She was attacked just a half hour before daytime staff was due to take over. One of Mezhers colleagues has come forward with claims that the staff had previously complained about having to work alone overnight. Everyone cried and someone said that this was something we had brought up before, that no one should work alone, her coworker commented. Authorities in Sweden have kept the 15-year-old suspect in police custody and will be trying him as an adult due to the serious nature of the crime. The symbolism of Mezhers slaying was not lost on the countrys politicians, the Washington Post concluded. What do you think? Does Obama need to pay attention to these reports?

3	Is a Paul Compromise Due to Threats of a Bloody Convention?James Charles, Contributor The fact is Mitt Romney is the Bilderberg pick and is already acting like an executive, while the Obama machine starts falling apart. With all the politics at play between the Romney/RNC and Ron Paul camp in the lead up to the convention, it may be important to step back and look at the serious possibility of BIG time threats not just to Ron Pauls life, but potentially to the entire liberty movement as a whole. The absolute weirdness of this situation demands and begs for these kind of questions to be asked as we watch the drama unfold over the next few days in hopes we get true clarification and direction out of the Ron Paul people on this unnerving move. If you watch Rand Paul deliver his announcement, pay particular attention to the part where he says: But you know, now that the nominating process is over, tonight Im uh happy to announce that Im gonna be supporting Governor Romney. During this entire sentence, his voice and intonation stay relatively high, in the optimistic range, including as hes talking about his father. But the minute he utters the words Governor Romney, two things happen: The pitch of his voice drops sharply. The overall feeling associated with this delivery is one of disgust. Its almost as if Rand Paul is describing someone he is disappointed with or despises. With speculation of total betrayal, promises of cabinet positions, threats on Ron Pauls life nobody has realized the obvious. It is not Ron Paul or Rand Paul the RNC is afraid of, it is the legion of Ron Paul activists that show up everywhere he speaks. The Threat I would imagine the threat assessment has gone out by the RNC security organizers on the real possibility of riots in the event of a Romney nomination. Riots on the inside by delegates and by his supporters in the streets that are planning mass protests already. His activist follow the principles in the Constitution and are radical in its defense. They are also liberty loving Americans, who will jealously guard their leader Ron Paul. He has become a powerful icon indeed, but lets face it, he honestly doesnt have that much control over the grassroots as a whole. The potential for flare ups is very high and both sides of the fence know it. Ron Paul asks his people to be respectful should he be worried about the safety of protestors this year? Should we be worried, those who plan on attending to protest this elective travesty? Our delegates presence must be felt both in Tampa and in years to come, Paul declared. Stand up for what we believe in. Be respectful. And let the establishment know that we are the future of the Party and of the country. The problem is the GOP are despicable bullies, and his supporters are going to voice their outrage you can count on that, with Ron Pauls permission or not, or an escalated police presence or not. Anomalous Security Preparations for the RNC As always you can expect a big time security presence in Tampa the weekend of the Convention. The normal reports of 50 million dollar federal grants for both RNC and DNC security are there. Along with the usual partnerships between both military and police but did you know that also present in Tampa will be NATO special operations groups from all over the world there? Video of international special forces actually storming a Tampa dock and rescuing no less than the Mayor of Tampa just this last week. Unbelievable, these NATO special force groups are the same ones commanding the al-Qaeda freedom fighters in Libya and Syria. Fact 2) Tampa RNC Police Invited to train at NATO Chicago summit AND Attacked by Anarchists In fact, the NATO summit in Chicago was actually a training ground for the people in charge of the RNC convention security this year, as stated in an article by Officer.com. It details how Black Bloc anarchist confronted and attacked the very police unit that was observing Chicago tactics during the NATO summit where police were injured. They were prepared to engage in conflict, McKinnon said. They were wearing gas masks and they had their own medics. They had their own videographers. McKinnon said officers asked the crowd to disperse at the end of the march. Those who stayed started provoking police, who were dressed in riot gear. When the stragglers wouldnt leave, officers tried to remove them by force. Some protesters hurled sticks and bottles at officers, who responded with batons. Four officers were injured, including one who was stabbed in the leg, and 45 people were arrested. Protesters in Chicago were prepared for a confrontation, but Tampa officers said that when the GOP convention comes to town, theyll be ready, too. Nothing like a security training exercise to go live for them to personalize the threat on the ground level by Tampa riot police. Fact 3) FEMA and Emergency Disaster Preparedness Training for Mass Evacuations It seems the event is scheduled during the busiest time of the year for hurricanes in the Florida and Gulf coast area. They are actually preparing for a Category 3 storm during the convention: State emergency workers have spent recent days tracking a fictitious Category 3 Hurricane Gispert that would hit Tarpon Springs, just north of Tampa, two days after the convention is scheduled to begin. Wed be dealing a lot with storm surge issues down there, said Bryan Koon, the states emergency management director. Were also working on a high number of potential evacuations. Fact 4) Black Bloc Violence Aimed at Tampa and the RNC These groups are small in number but can still be utilized to initiate mass arrests and police action in a heart beat given the order by higher up, security officials commanding riot police. Fact 5) RNC is Blocking the Liberty Festival from a Venue There will be hundreds of thousands of very disillusioned and vocal Ron Paul supporters who are planning on protesting the Romney outrage in Tampa. This will not be a repeat of the 2008 RNC where Ron Paul had to throw his own convention, attended by well over 10,000 people. This time there are people on the inside with a true fire for Liberty, national delegates who made it to the convention literally kicking in screaming as Ron Paul supporters. A organizer of the Ron Paul Festival details the delays they have come up against when trying to secure a venue from the RNC. We cant proceed without a secured venue, Robinet said Monday. A kickoff announcement, ticket sales, fundraising and contracts with bands and other talent all have to wait until the location is in hand. The longer it takes, the harder it will be And I think that is their goal, she said. Being denied a venue location will mean that the Ron Paul supporters will have to maintain a presence in the actual militarized protest zone placing enraged political masses right up next to police forces. Conclusion We have to give the Pauls the benefit of the doubt here in hopes there is something else going on that none of us are privy to as outsiders. The fact is Rand does look like he has a gun to his head in this endorsement, and if the threat of violence at the convention is what is keeping Ron Paul from speaking and staging a brokered convention with his delegates inside I would imagine it is not above Romneys people to play that card. I honestly dont think the Pauls would back down on threats to their own lives, but violence at the RNC would destroy the liberty movement. Anyone from that point on associated with the Liberty movement would be immediately placed high up on a radical terrorist watch list destroying everything the Pauls have worked for via the Campaign for Liberty and elections over the course of these last 4 years.

2	ISIS Suicide Bombing Trainer Accidentally Blows Up Himself And His Class In Baghdad, a terrorist who was in the middle of conducting a training for future militants, accidentally blew up an entire class, killing 21 of his students, and himself. The group was part of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, the terror group that has been participating in a string of attacks in the United States. The incident may be viewed as a metaphor for the many lives lost in the wake of foreign and domestic terrorists relentless attempts to convert the nation into an extreme-religious state. In this turn of events, it appears that many innocent lives may have actually been spared. In fact, in one recent attack alone, 7 innocent people were killed. According to recent reports, it was rumored that the instructor was in the process of showing his students how to use a suicide belt. As he was teaching, the live suicide belt actually detonated, resulting in mass fatalities. 
1	The entire Yankees squad poured off the bench, out of the dugout, and onto the field Monday after CC Sabathia reacted to a particularly strenuous inning by plopping down on the bench, stretching out, and taking a nap. 'When that happens to your pitcher, you just have to support him and get out of the way,' said shortstop Derek Jeter, who was one of the first Yankees on his feet when Sabathia began to recline. 'In that situation, a good teammate just lets his pitcher sleep. It doesn't matter if he's right or wrong.' Umpires were able to clear the field and play resumed shortly after Sabathia woke, although team medics have not yet been able to return Sabathia to an upright position 
2	4A few nights ago, Ava Ellis, a 4-year-old girl, was accidentally shot by a police officer. Things turned ugly when a boxer-terrier mix attacked the police officer. The cop fired his gun, and the bullet hit Andreas four-year-old daughter, Ava, in the leg, shattering the bone. She asked me several times, Mommy, am I gonna die?' Andrea Ellis told INSIDE EDITION. Then a neighbor called 911. My neighbor across the street had an officer at her door and shes screaming that he shot a child, said the neighbor. Police dashcam video shows the chaos in the immediate aftermath. Medics and cops descended on the house. They had started to cut her pants off her and I just see blood everywhere, her mother said. Ava was rushed to the hospital and has a large scar on her leg after surgery. But now back at home, shes recovering from her injury. Columbus police say they are grateful to learn that [Avas] healing is under way after she was unintentionally shot. The investigation is ongoing. Yahoo Politics Thank God Ava is OK.

2	ISIS Gives Confirmation That Jihadi John Was Blown Up In A U.S. Air Strike ISIS has finally given confirmation of the death of Jihadi John, the infamous ISIS executioner. He was killed in a U.S. air strike while driving in a car last year. He walked out of a building and got in the car. We struck it right after with zero collateral damage, a counter-terrorism official told ABC News on Nov. 12. The vehicle was on fire. It was a 100 percent flawless, direct hit. Jihadi John essentially evaporated in the explosion, the official said. Following the news of Emwazis potential death, British Prime MinisterDavid Cameron said that the airstrike was an act of self-defense and the right thing to do, calling the executioner a barbaric murderer. A British drone had taken part of the strike, but it was an American drone that fired the fatal missiles, a U.S. Defense official said in November. (Source: ABC News) This is a great step in moving forward, removing this man from the planet. Should the U.S. continue its air strikes to kill more of these scum? 
3	State Proposes Bold Law to Treat Pot Like Tobacco And Expunge All Records of Marijuana CrimesBy Claire Bernish Should the bill, A4193, pass, convenience stores would be permitted to sell cannabis alongside cigarettes available to anyone aged 19 and older. This bill would legalize marijuana by removing all criminal liability associated with marijuana from the New Jersey Code of Criminal Justice as well as its regulation as a controlled dangerous substance under the New Jersey Controlled Dangerous Substances Act, the proposed law states. Sponsored by Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll once deemed the state Legislatures Most Conservative member, as the Newark Patch pointed out the legislation [l]egalizes marijuana and provides for records expungement for certain past marijuana offenses; treats marijuana products similar to tobacco products, including the use of civil penalties for providing marijuana to persons under 19 years of age. Carrolls bill audacious thumbs its nose at the DEAs vehemently criticized decision this year not to reschedule cannabis from its current inexplicable designation as a dangerous substance of no medical value, akin to heroin or cocaine. To me its just not a big deal, Carroll told Politico. Its already ubiquitous. Anybody who thinks this is somehow going to increase the availability of marijuana has never been 19. If thats the case, then whats the big deal about having it available at the local 7-Eleven? Alcohol, after all, is a standard fixture at convenience stores and gas stations, with store owners facing fines and other civil penalties for underage distribution. The whole point here is to get the government out of the business of treating at least marijuana use as a crime and treat it instead as a social problem, Carroll continued, adding hes never tried cannabis, personally. Youre talking to the worlds most boring, straightest guy, he said. Ive never popped a pill, never smoked a joint, nothing. Ive never quite understood the all the allure of this stuff. Apparently, though, he doesnt feel his personal views concerning substances should override contrary opinions and choices. On the surface, the right-wing lawmaker would seem the last person sponsoring legislation taking such a radical departure from federal law but on issues of personal freedom, his stances align most closely with libertarian philosophy. Carroll not only co-sponsored New Jerseys medical cannabis legislation, in April he proposed lowering the states drinking age to 18, saying, according to the Patch, If youre old enough to make the determination you want to enlist in the Marines, youre old enough to determine if you want to have a beer. Despite an overwhelming public perception cannabis should at least be decriminalized and growing national disillusionment with the failed drug war with the resultant largest prison population in the world, gang violence, strengthening of Mexican cartels, epidemic-level police violence, and inability of those in need to get life-saving medical cannabis treatment the Drug Enforcement Agency opted to maintain marijuana prohibition this year. Should the proposed law indeed pass, New Jersey would join Alaska, Colorado, Washington, and Oregon in legal, recreational weed. In fact, degrees of decriminalization and legalization mostly for medical use exist in half the states in the nation. Novembers election will likely expand those numbers. Ballot measures could potentially legalize recreational use in varying degrees in California, Nevada, Massachusetts, Arizona, and Nevada and although they arent all expected to pass, the segment of the population arguing against legalization shrinks seemingly by the month. New Jersey lawmakers are attempting a multi-pronged approach to legalizing weed. Another bill, A2068, filed in January by Assemblyman Reed Gusciora ironically, one of the most liberal members of the state Legislature and State Sen. Nicholas Scutari would legalize cannabis and treat it akin to alcohol. A third is expected after several legislators, including Gusciora and Scutari, return from an information-gathering field trip examining legalization in Colorado in October. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie whom Carroll refers to as the Fat Man will almost certainly veto any legislation concerning cannabis. But his tenure in office draws to a close just over a year from now. We would like to get the ball rolling, even with this governor and even if he vetoes it, the choice then could be made to put it on the ballot through the Legislature or set the groundwork for the next administration, Gusciora told Politico. I think its only a matter of time. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Bravo! This is exactly how it should be. Right because there is no comparison between Marijuana and Alcohol!! Kudos and Best wishes. MULTI TERMS IN OFFICE IS THE PROBLEM WORLDWIDE. THE MAJORITY OF ALL PEOPLE, EVEN POLITICIANS, WHO RUN FOR OFFICE THE FIRST TIME WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THINGS FOR THE COMMON GOOD. WITH THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF INTERRELATED COMPETING GOODS BUT THE COMMON GOOD 90% OF THE TIME LOSES OUT TO SHORT TERM SUBJECTIVE SPECIAL INTEREST GOALS WHEN THE MAJORITY OF ALL PEOPLE WORLDWIDE SURVEYED BELIEVE ABOUT 85% OF ALL PEOPLE ARE GOOD AND WOULD WORK FOR THE COMMON GOOD IF THERE WERE A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD. ONE 6 YEAR TERM LIMITS FOR CONGRESS IS THE MOST EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE WAY TO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD. EVEN THE POWERS THAT BE WILL BE BETTER OFF BECAUSE FREE PEOPLE, WITH A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD, PRODUCE MORE, KEEP MORE AND SHARE MORE. I assure you that the over usage of CAPs does not have the intended effect you desire. Just ask the idiot JosephConrad that pukes up indiscernible CAP messages that no one reads. I agree with you.

Our public education system and crappy parenting do enough of that already. You have absorbed much propaganda To illuminate the Meier study of the Dunedin cohort, the one that claims heavy cannabis use can lower ones IQ by up to 8 points The cohort of about a thousand kids was followed from age 13 to 38, with various data collected over that 25 years What the data shows generally, is that about half the group used cannabis to some extent, and about half didnt The users started out about two points higher than the non-users, and after 25 years, lost about a point, and still were a point up on the non-users The 3 percent who showed the up to 8 point drop, scored higher in the Arithmetic, picture completion, and block diagram sub tests, while the non-users scored lower on these three sub tests So those IQ losses were in social skills, and one would expect people with social anxiety disorders, high functioning Autism, and similar conditions would be expected to gain in those analytic skills while losing social ones, particularly when they are regarded as criminals for using the only treatment that has been useful for those conditions for thousands of years And 3 percent of a given population is an expected number for those most susceptible Note that the first human writing about cannabis was that of medicine, and that cannabis is included in the earliest human writings How about this, instead of worrying about dumbed down youth that do no harm to you, worry about your own family. OK But I think you may have been responding to another comment Oh but the dumbed down youth is my problem and they do cause harm to me. They are completely untrained to go into life, they have no marketable job skills due to very low proficiency abilities. Washoe County Nevada brags about how 73% of the kids graduated. Yet only 8% were proficient in Reading Writing and Arithmetic!! In fact these Youth you are so protective of cant even figure the tax on a pizza with out a computer!! Unless they punch in the right code they dont know even where to start!!! So yeah, it is everybodys problem!!!. Not gonna happen. Number its not true, pot is not the same as tobacco, and two, it would greatly damage society to legalize such a harmful drug.

Science has thus far failed to find any sense in which cannabis is harmful, whereas tobacco kills nearly half a million Americans a year. Thats what people who want it legalized want us to think, but the research is clear, Marijuana is much more harmful than cigarettes. People are less inclined to want something if it isnt illegal. Drug use decreased in Portugal after legalization. iprazhm, thanks for referring us to a .gov propaganda site whose goal is continuing and supporting failed policies and maximizing the harm or a harmless plant erroneously called a drug. You have been well indoctrinated by your master. If you smoked a joint, that brainwashing would quickly disappear and your mental health would return You apparently didnt read my comment, I am thoroughly aware of the I.Q. study you reference, and demonstrated the major flaw, additionally, no consideration was made about the negative effects of prohibition As for the NIDA studies you reference, if you read them, you will find that they only establish an association between cannabis and some psycho social harm, but do not provide proof of cause. This is a deception used continually in speeches from prohibitionists, but association is not causation, and I have noted the true cause, which is substantiated by the data in those same studies So they dont prove over and over again, anything, with the noted exception of the work done by Dr. Donald Tashkin and his team, who were funded by NIDA for over forty years, investigating the harm caused to the lungs by smoking cannabis, and after that time, concluded that smoking cannabis does not cause COPD or cancer, and may provide some protection for those who also smoke tobacco To be more clear about the association between divergent thought conditions and cannabis, studies demonstrate that genetic variants found in these conditions, also predict a natural affinity for use of the herb, so any group of cannabis users will necessarily contain a greater number of people with one or more of these conditions, and the negative effects seen are more likely the effect of being treated like criminals, forced to dissociate with the misinformed public, and often family members The studies can not prove cause because the association is coincidental, only proving that people so affected will often seek out the natural remedy that humans have used for thousands of years If we examine prohibition as the cause of these problems the true problem appears The criteria for substance use disorder in the DSM would not apply to most of those diagnosed, in the absence of prohibition, because people would not have trouble acquiring the herb, and they would not be forced into secrecy, or to engage in criminal activity These are major personal, and social foundations that are disrupted, often for people who are at risk, due to a genetic basis for some divergent thought condition, which carries a natural attraction to the herb, that would not exist absent prohibition Addiction is another thing altogether, which is not caused by cannabis, though those with addictive personalities may choose it as there substance of choice, or substitute, and examining those potential substances of choice, all the research confirms that cannabis is the least harmful Any specific studies that you can refer me to regarding the association between divergent thought conditions and cannabis? I do know that there is a tendency for those suffering trauma to self-medicate, but am only familiar with your emphasis to the extent that Cannabis is sought out by those who have exhausted traditional remedies for the treatment of autism, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, depression, and schizophrenia. I want to see former and present prohibitionists forced to pay reparations to those whose lives were damaged by Marijuana Crimes. Maybe the Garden State of NJ will save more great old farms from becoming shopping malls and housing developments 
2	Youll Be Furious About What Happened After Cop Refuses To Work At Gay Pride Parade According to recent reports, an unnamed Salt Lake City police officer has been placed on leave, and is currently under investigation, after he steadfastly refused to work at a gay pride parade. The officer was one of several dozen assigned to serve on traffic control and as security for the annual Utah Pride Parade in Salt Lake City, according to department spokeswoman Lara Jones. The officer, however, refused to take the position. The officer is currently on paid administrative leave, pending the outcome of an internal affairs investigation against him. Jones has not commented on the officers reasons for refusing to take his position at the Pride event. Sten Ha, who is the executive director of the Utah Pride Center, also told the station that the officers act clearly was more than just smelling of bigotry, but I think the act was bigotry, choosing to not do a duty that is sworn by police officers to do. The Center is in support of the departments stance and actions against the officer. One spokeswoman, DeAnn Armes, even believes that officers should be required to undergo sensitivity training before joining the police force. Our goal is to make sure that police training and certification includes policies and oaths to ensure that all officers are committed to providing equal service and treatment of all citizens, Armes told reporters, Clearly, bigotry is alive and well. We have gay men and women that serve in the police department, Jones told reporters, Our officers situation does not reflect the vast majority of officers that work in the Salt Lake City Police Department. What do you think of the situation? Should the officer be punished for expressing his views? 
2	Tim Mcgraw Fans Are Outraged After He Submitted To Obama In THIS Disgusting Way [VIDEO] According to some shocking new reports, it appears that popular country singer Tim McGraw isnt who appears to be. In fact, he plans to headline an anti-gun concert in July. Breitbart reports that the concert is a gun control fundraiser for the Sandy Hook Promise, which was originally founded to benefit the families of the victims in the massacre. However, 11 families affected by the tragedy have come forward to claim that they are not associated with the concert. The families claimed that Sandy Hook Promise is at times wrongly assumed to speak for all 26 victims families. In reality, this is not the case at all. We wish only to provide clarification for the many generous donors that believe they are directly supporting the families at the center of this tragedy by contributing to the Sandy Hook Promise, one family member clarified. If I have a decision to lead with my head or my heart, Im going to lead with my heart every time, McGraw told reporters, claiming that he will still move forward with the event. This is not the first time McGraw has left his fans disappointed. He once told People Magazine that he was a blue-dog Democrat who will do anything he can to support Obama. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Will you boycott Tim McGraws music after this? 
3	Death Rattle of Mainstream Media: Corporate Outlets Now Labeling Each Other Fake NewsBy Claire Bernish CNN first published an article citing without including information ostensibly ruinous to President-elect Donald Trumps political career but BuzzFeed took that ball and ran publishing documents believed to have originated from an unnamed British intelligence officer and admittedly unsubstantiated and unverified. Careless reporting by the mainstream press, in other words, has reached critical mass and known publishers of Fake News are now calling each other to task for egregiously vapid journalism. BuzzFeed Posts Unverified Claims on Trump, Igniting a Debate, the Times headline asserts, while going a step further the Guardians article is entitled, BuzzFeed publishes unsubstantiated Trump report, raising ethics questions. CNN first reported on the dossier allegedly obtained from the unnamed British intelligence official, but left out the more lurid and revealing details from the 35-pages BuzzFeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith later decided were fair game for publication despite serious reason to doubt the allegations. BuzzFeed reported Tuesday, The dossier, which is a collection of memos written over a period of months, includes specific, unverified, and potentially unverifiable allegations of contact between Trump aides and Russian operatives, and graphic claims of sexual acts documented by the Russians. BuzzFeed News reporters in the US and Europe have been investigating various alleged facts in the dossier but have not verified or falsified them. CNN reported Tuesday that a two-page synopsis of the report was given to President Obama and Trump. Mainstream outlets scrambled over each other to ride the viral wave when BuzzFeeds article garnered over one million views in short succession and 3.5 million less than 24 hours later but none of those organizations bothered to restrain themselves in the interest of investigating the dossier further. Incidentally, the Times was among them and in its scathing critique, curiously notes, The reports by CNN and Buzzfeed sent other news organizations, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, scrambling to publish their own articles, some of which included generalized descriptions of the unverified allegations about Mr. Trump. By late Tuesday, though, only BuzzFeed had published the full document. As if reporting on unsubstantiated claims without providing the documents youre citing somehow excuses the Times capricious abandonment of journalistic due diligence. Nevertheless, the article contends, Of particular interest was the use of unsubstantiated information from anonymous sources, a practice that fueled some of the so-called fake news false rumors passed off as legitimate journalism that proliferated during the presidential election. Again, the Times reported on the exact information BuzzFeed did but didnt provide the contentious document for the public to evaluate so, in essence, its accusing itself in the mix. According to each outlet either parroting another or making its own assertion the 35 pages had been passed around behind the scenes in both the media and intelligence communities. That fact alone, if indeed true which would be hard to glean from this imprudent crowd raises questions on the decision to publish so close to inauguration day. In addition, that intel officials have indeed had possession of the dossier but have yet to verify its contents sufficiently to provide comment to the press intimates the striking potential the documents are inauthentic or the information isnt accurate. CNN might have held back from publishing those pages, but its article contained the equally dubious claims, Some of the memos were circulating as far back as last summer. What has changed since then is that US intelligence agencies have now checked out the former British intelligence operative and his vast network throughout Europe and find him and his sources to be credible enough to include some of the information in the presentations to the President and President-elect a few days ago. BuzzFeed, in what might come to be an act of journalistic suicide, said to hell with it took CNNs report as a cue, and ran the laughably flawed document admitting at the time that by doing so it was essentially publishing Fake News. And now the New York Times and other corporate press seem to believe eschewing the blame for contributing to the mess under the pretense of plausible deniability for refusing to publish the actual dossier to back their allegations is as simple as publicly castigating the original outlets they copied. Glenn Greenwald adroitly summarized this media shit show, writing for The Intercept, All of these toxic ingredients were on full display yesterday as the Deep State unleashed its tawdriest and most aggressive assault yet on Trump: vesting credibility in and then causing the public disclosure of a completely unvetted and unverified document, compiled by a paid, anonymous operative while he was working for both GOP and Democratic opponents of Trump, accusing Trump of a wide range of crimes, corrupt acts and salacious private conduct. The reaction to all of this illustrates that while the Trump presidency poses grave dangers, so, too, do those who are increasingly unhinged in their flailing, slapdash, and destructive attempts to undermine it. Hell bent on pinning blame for its own journalistic failures throughout the election cycle, corporate media began targeting alternative outlets as Fake News and Russian propaganda for its stellar reporting on the contents of leaked documents deleterious to Hillary Clinton. But because the mainstream press constitutes little more than a mouthpiece for the U.S. political establishment, independent journalists aware of this nonsense have continually called out the errant and viral reports from outlets like the Times, CNN, and Washington Post. Indeed, the backlash over falsely labeling independent reporting Fake News has been so intense, the outlet that championed and initiated the use of that term the Post came forward this week to pompously declare its retirement. Indisputably, however and particularly as the American public watches this unseemly and mortifying abandonment of journalistic integrity play out mainstream media is now little more than a picked-over carcass of its former self. To believe anything a corporate press this errant and devoid of the standards, principles, and rectitude its roots were founded on unless purely for entertainments sake would plainly be foolhardy. Garnering reliable information from mainstream presstitutes is like agreeing to play Russian roulette with facts. Its time to admit the patently obvious mainstream media is dead. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Image Credit Lol, the seeds of destruction have been sown, 2017 is the year the illusions fall apart. If all this fake news baloney is the thing that finally convinces the idiot class that the old media is more full of BS than the stockyards, it will all be worth it. Although in the meantime, Im tempted to shut off my electricity and stay blissfully ignorant of all the lies. Aint it grand. MSM = fake news All MSM is owned by the agenda spewing goat worshipers that have boughtoff all major outlets. 
2	Obamas Family Stabs Him In The Back, Reveals The Truth About His Past Ever since he first entered the White House in 2008, President Barack Obama has faced questions about his background. Despite rumors that he is a Muslim who was born outside of the United States, he has been unable to provide valid documentation proving otherwise. Now, his Kenyan relatives have come forward to disclose some truth as to who Obama really is. Barack Hussein Obama is the son of a Shiite father, Abu Muntasir Al-Baloushi, a London-based activist told reporters. There is no doubt that he is Irans lifesaver. Some people call him the Iranian lobby in America. He suffers from a peculiar complex. Others have agreed with these claims. I am not peddling some theory and I am not being racist, Syrian writer Muhydin Lazikani added. But Barack Hussein Obama is the son of a Shiite Kenyan father. What do you think? Does this explain Obamas bizarre loyalty to Iran and his refusal to acknowledge the threat of Islam? 
2	Is Darren Wilson About To Be Put Back On Trial For The Michael Brown Shooting? According to recent reports, the NAACPs legal group has sent a letter to Missouri Judge Maura McShane, calling on her to put together a new grand jury to reconsider indicting officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown. At the end of November, a grand jury made the controversial decision not to indict Wilson in the shooting. Now, nearly two months later, the NAACPs Legal Defense and Educational Fund has put together an open letter asking for a new jury to appear in front of a special prosecutor. The letter also asks Judge McShane to investigate Bob MucCulloch, the original prosecutor, for misconduct. Our review of these proceedings has raised grave legal concerns, claims Sherrilyn Ifill, the groups president. Including knowing presentation of false witness testimony, erroneous instructions on the law, and preferential treatment of Mr. Wilson by the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorneys Office. McCullochs office is yet to comment on the letter. What do you think? Should the original grand jury decision stand?

Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
2	While Everyone Was Focused On The Election, Obama Did The Unthinkable For years, President Barack Obama has denied any knowledge that Hillary Clinton was using a personal email server during her years as Secretary of State. Now, WikiLeaks has just revealed that he knew what was happening all along. In fact, Obama was not only aware about the Clinton server, but he frequently emailed her using her personal email address! In an email dated March 8, 2015, Philippe Reines, Hillary Clintons press secretary referenced a story with the headline Obama Says He Didnt Know Hillary Clinton Was Using Private Email Address. The email was sent to John Podesta, Cheryl Mills and Jennifer Palmieri. In the correspondence, Reines considered how to address the matter if it should come up. Josh has been asked about that, Palmieri responded. Standard practice is not to confirm anything about his email, so his answer to the press was that he would not comment/confirm. Watch the video of Obamas interview below and tell us what you think. 
3	How TPP resembles NAFTA, and why both create some of the largest health and human rights emergencies of our timeBy Jamie Weinand This First Declaration of the Lacandona Jungle, published in Chiapas, Mexico by the Zapatista (EZLN) anti-neoliberal movement in 1993 sparked the new Mexican Revolution of the 20th century, and was in part a response to the signing of NAFTA by the Mexican government. NAFTA, or the North American Free Trade Agreement was and still is a controversial trade partnership between the United States, Canada and Mexico and was quickly followed by mass exoduses of newly further-impoverished Mexican farmers from the primary farming epicenters of their nation, Chiapas, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Puebla, and into our own (2). In short, NAFTA severely eliminated Mexican tariffs on foreign crop prices (among other goods), rendering small-scale and local Mexican farmers unable to compete even within their own hometowns; prices paid to Mexican corn farmers fell 66% overnight and after 3 years of NAFTAs implementation the percent of rural Mexicans who did not have enough money for food rose from 36% to 50% (3). With American farming products streamlining into the Mexican nation at subsidy and NAFTA-infused prices via the U.S. Congress, we had rendered the Mexican farmer jobless overnight and a migrant worker without papers soon after. Today however, enough may not be enough for the Office of the United States Trade Representative; while a 2010 report by the Monterrey Institute of Technology in Mexico estimates that 50 million, or close to 46% of Mexicans live in poverty, we may be striving to out-do ourselves (4). Our governments newest and largest version of NAFTA is a currently proposed trade agreement known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP. TPP could potentially encompass up to 21 countries (12), many of which also struggle with poverty, such as Vietnam, where over half of the population lives on less than 2$ a day, and Peru where 35% of the population lives in poverty (5,6). If you dont know what TPP is, you are not alone; the entire process to negotiate the treaty has kept the global public in the dark, and was only recently leaked in November on WikiLeaks as the Secret TPP Agreement. It might also be worth noting that the secrecy of the U.S. government surrounding TPP is greater than any other trade agreement in the past; even President Bushs FTAA, discussed below, had published the entire text of the document on the U.S. governmental website (13). The secrecy is alarming considering the magnitude of the deal; TPP is the largest trade agreement in existance since the formation of the World Trade Organization in 1995, and encompasses 40% of world trade between over 800 million people (13). Revelations of the WikiLeaks confidential document among activists characterized TPP as NAFTA on steroids (7), and was labeled by one journalist as a Christmas wish-list for major corporationsHollywood, the music industry, big IT companies such as Microsoft and the pharmaceutical sector would all be very happy with this (8). Equally critical of TPP is Doctors Without Borders (MSF), which recently sent President Obama an open letter to express their serious concernof the treaty poised to wreck havoc on the health of millions worldwide by enforcing stricter patent protections that would eliminate the generic drugs that are used to save the lives of millions. Within their letter MSF writes that 80% of the antiretroviral drugs used in developing countries are produced generically in India. MSF also cites that the cost of the antiretroviral drug treatment needed for HIV/AIDS, as well as tuberculosis, malaria and many other diseases, has been reduced by 99% due to the competition created by generic drug companies and has lowered the per person cost yearly drug cost to under 140 USD for one HIV/AIDS patient. Our largest international aid organiations, including PEPFAR, UNITAID, and The Global Fund for AIDS, all rely on generic drugs to continue the life-saving work they perform worldwide. The MSF slogan against TPP asks the U.S. Trade Representative, Stan McCoy to stop trading away health, however its proposed legislation would move far beyond just the realm of international trade. Only 5 of the 29 chapters of the TPP document involve trade, whereas the rest of the 24 chapters cover other provisions that Loris Wallach, a journalist covering TPP summarized by saying there is almost no part of your life that TPP couldnt undermine (13). Wallach characterized the other 24 chapters of TPP as either handcuffing our domestic governments, limiting food safety, environmental standards, financial regulation, energy and climate policy, or establishing new powers for corporations. Furthermore, the regulations invoke a copyright portion that would allow a part of SOPA, previously struck down in Congress after public outrage, to be incorporated into TPP, thereby prompting some activists to label TPP as the son of SOPA (13). While a full list of TPP ramifications can be found online at ExposeTheTPP.org, a few of the ways that TPP proposes to undermine global health and human rights also include: As medical students at Boston University in varying stages in our training, we join health organizations like MSF, labor unions such as AFL-CIO, and countless other adovcates in asking President Obama and other global leaders to reject the deal proposed by the TPP. There is a strong precedent for advocacy that has been able to stop behind-closed-doors agreements that support the 1% of our world. The FTAA, or Free Trade Area of the Americas was proposed again by President Bush in 2003 as a mega-expansion of NAFTA between 34 countries in the Americas yet failed to pass the last negotiation stages; Latin Americas Bolivarian Alliance, or anti-neoliberal political climate and public backlash was able to defeat the partnership. Then-president of Venezula, Hugo Chavez, had called the FTAA a tool of imperialism during the height of negotiations (10) and the legislation received public dissent similar to that rising against TPP. Other restrictionary legal acts such as SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act that poised to eliminate internet sharing freedoms by strengthening copyright laws, was also defeated with public outcry, including a Wikipedia 24-hour blackout in 2012. Past advocacy shows that it is possible to stop these devastating laws that threaten the health and livelihoods of millions, but only through a concerted public outcry. We ask you to step forward and help join us in spreading the word about TPP and its potentially devastating effects. Upon signing of the NAFTA treaty in 1993, the Zapatistas acknowledged that this was a message from the global neoliberal community that they dont care that we have nothing. Use any medium and action you can to show that we are different, that we stand in solidarity with health and human rights globally, and that we deeply care. The Occupy movement has written that, if people knew the contents [of TPP], it could not pass (11). Let us make sure everyone knows; we couldnt stop NAFTA over two decades ago, but that doesnt mean we will let an agreement even larger pass today. Enough is enough!

3	ISIS: Americas Terrorist MercenariesTony Cartalucci Phase I: Justifying Chaos It was only in 2007 that US foreign policy openly sought to pursue war against Iran, Syria, and Lebanons Hezbollah, while undercutting pro-Iranian factions in Iraq which at the time the US was still occupying. Failing to accomplish this directly, the US planned a not-so-covert proxy war that would include funding, politically backing, and even arming groups ranging from the Muslim Brotherhood to militants aligned with Al Qaeda itself. This is perhaps best summarized by the prophetic 2007 report The Redirection: Is the Administrations new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism? written by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh and published in the New Yorker. It 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 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. Hersh would also go on to chronicle American political and financial support that was being provided to the Muslim Brotherhood, even then under then US President George Bush. In all, the supposedly spontaneous uprisings referred to by the Western media as the Arab Spring in 2011 were being engineered years ahead of time not in an attempt to promote peaceful pro-democratic aspirations, but to serve as cover for ultra-violent foreign-backed insurrections that would leave a trail of destruction stretching along Africas northern coast, all the way to the borders of Iran, Russia, and even China. Phase II: The War After denying any role in the Arab Spring unrest, the US would soon not only openly support the protesters in the streets, but also support armed militants that followed in the wake of protests. This support included that of a military dimension with militants in Libya being provided aircover and special forces initially, to eventually the air-dropping of weapons, equipment, and other supplies. US Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) would even travel to the terrorist capital of Libya Benghazi and offer US support in person. He would stand literally upon the footsteps of Benghazis courthouse where Al Qaeda rallies would be held shortly after, promising weapons to men who would later slaughter a US ambassador in that very city. After the destruction of Libyas government amid NATOs intervention, Benghazi would serve as a terrorist epicenter where weapons, cash, and fighters were being staged before being sent to NATO-member Turkey and then to fight in northern Syria. Among these terrorists were seasoned militants of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), an official Al Qaeda franchise in North Africa. One of their leaders, Abdelhakim Belhadj would eventually find himself in power in Tripoli after the collapse of the Libyan government, and even have his photograph taken with Senator McCain. Predictably, as NATO shifted resources and attention from the overthrow of Libya to the overthrow of Syria, the conflict aimed at Damascus escalated. It did not however succeed. Instead, the West found itself in a protracted proxy war in which its role in arming, aiding, and abetting hardcore sectarian extremists became increasingly obvious. Phase III: The Rise of ISIS Clearly, the rise of the so-called Islamic State or ISIS, did not happen overnight, nor by accident. It was not only the logical result of the United States continuing its strategy of proxy warfare it had carried out against Libya, now unfolding in Syria, it was also the premeditated, documented result of what veteran journalist Seymour Hersh had warned about in 2007. It is a threat that not only Syria understands all too well, but a threat its allies including Iraq, Iran, and Russia fully understand and are mobilizing against. The US has found itself revising history, attempting to explain the existence of ISIS lurking in the footprints of its massive support of so-called moderates in Syrias ongoing conflict. The US has attempted to claim ISIS has built itself on donations, selling oil to the black market, and by taking hostages for ransom. If only building a multinational terrorist mercenary force was that easy, we could imagine Syria, Iraq, and Iran would likewise have vast mercenary armies to outmatch ISIS in an afternoon. The reality is, to explain how the US and its regional partners have provided moderates with billions in aid only to have ISIS rise up and displace these moderates, we must realize that there were never any moderates to begin with, and that the US intentionally armed and funded terrorists, just as Hersh warned in 2007, to create a terrorist mercenary army that espouses a militant vision of Islam and is sympathetic to Al Qaeda. ISIS didnt displace the moderates, the truth of what America has done in the Middle East has displaced the lies the West has been telling the public starting in 2011 at the height of the so-called Arab Spring. It is essential that people around the world continue to spread this this truth faster than the West can spread its chaos.

2	Darren Wilsons Medical Records Revealed, This Is Changing Everything A few hours after the shooting of Michael Brown, Officer Darren Wilson was taken to the hospital and examined for injuries. The doctors who examine Darren Wilson stated that there is no apparent trauma and further test would be required. As Officer Wilson, claimed that he feared for his life, suffered only minor injuries and X-rays results were negative, many are saying that he must have exaggerated his so called life threatening situation. But to what length must one go before it can be life threatening? there is no meter in you body to tell you when you are approach a critical state or a warning alarm before blacking out. Which leads to my question, how many times must one get hit before it becomes life threatening? can people really assess how may punches one can take especially in Darren Wilsons situation? Though no profuse bleeding or obvious deformity, many injuries can be labeled atruamatic until further test are conducted Furthermore, the x-rays exams are only specific to testing fractures, other internal injuries would not show for example, Bruises, abrasions, soft tissue damage, etc. He never claimed to have profound injuries; he merely claimed to fear for his life and only he can know if that is true. Unfortunately, it was largely Michael Browns behavior that caused Officer Darren Wilson to use deadly force, he shouldnt have assaulted a police officer in the first place. Officer Darren Wilson acted by instinct when he felt his life threatened, yet the media will incriminate anyone just to hit ratings.

3	Whats Really Behind Israels Latest Mea Culpa Over the Gaza FlotillaUPDATED: Hawks, doves and skeptics will certainly be arguing about what this latest announcement really means. In what looks like a rare diplomatic change of heart this week, Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu has issued an apology over Israels role in attacking a Turkish humanitarian flotilla which tried to break Israels humanitarian blockade of Gaza in 2010. Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan has also agreed to accept the Israeli apology and to normalise relations between the two nations, relations which abruptly broke down following the UN report in 2011 which made public the storming of Gaza bound aid flotilla. Turkey has also agreed to drop its criminal charges against Israeli military brass, including those against former chief of staff Lt.-General Gabi Ashkenazi. A normalisation of relations between Israel and Turkey? Nearly three years and a scathing UN report later, with nine Turkish dead and bereaving families many would ask, what took Israel so long to respond, and why now? This latest and extremely rare mea culpa by Netanyahu has left some surprised, and many skeptics wondering what Israel might be expecting in return for such a conciliatory announcement. Israels international image has long been tarnished by its refusal engage in diplomatic talks, or observe dozens of UN resolutions which have been passed in an attempt to bring it in line with international norms. Netanyahu has described the Gaza Flotilla incident in 2010 as unintentional, but some passengers aboard the ill-fated Mavi Marmara are not convinced. Former US Marine and humanitarian aid worker Ken OKeefe was a survivor of the Flotilla, and is convinced of the Israeli PM sincerity on the issue. OKeefe says: Insincere apologies offered and accepted by corrupt governments is nothing more than theatre, it is an insult to the memory of those martyred on the Mavi Marmara and to the people of Gaza themselves. I would certainly ask any sane people to consider if it were their brother, their father, their husband who was murdered, would an apology and money be sufficient for you? Quoting Israels own eye for an eye foreign policy doctrine of retaliation, and judging by Israels own past record following comparable incidents, if the shoe were on the other foot with nine dead Israeli passengers, arguably this would have prompted a stern reaction in the form of either targeted assassinations, or a surgical airstrikes by Israel against Turkish assets, as a result of such a high-profile international incident. If readers are in any doubt as to the plausibility of this scenario, consider the quid pro quo which followed Hezzbolahs 2006 capture of only two Israeli soldiers, Eldad Regev and Udi Goldwasser. The result was a 33 day bombardment and military siege of Lebanon which left an estimated 1,191 Lebanese civilians dead, 4,409 injured and hundreds of thousands more internally and externally displaced a huge black mark on Israels own record of wanton aggression against its neighbors. This latest apparent olive branch by Tel Aviv to Ankara should also be underscored by Israels own much-maligned history lack of any apologies or statements relating to the Palestinians themselves, perpetual victims of violence and oppression since Israel forcibly etched itself into the region in 1948. OKeefe sees this political reality reflected in the flotilla incident. He explains: They (flotilla victims) died because they refused to accept the unacceptable and what is unacceptable is the collective punishment of 1.6 million people in Gaza, over half of which are children. There is only one thing that will even come close to justice and that is a 100% end of the blockade and massive compensation to the traumatised, injured, grieving people of Gaza, as well as the complete rebuilding of Gaza. More than likely, this latest announcement was a result of US President Barrack Obamas need for a win, albeit even a small one. Its clear that this time, Obama had to return to Washington DC with something other than AIPAC photo-ops, and the normal obligatory public relations visit to Israel required by successive US Presidents. More to the point however, is Israels cooperation with the US and British-led plans for the region. Turkish and Israeli motives in Syria Helping to patch-up relations with Turkey is one thing, but Obamas political appearance in Israel and this agreement between Turkey and Israel cannot be looked at without taking into account the wider geopolitical chessboard. Both countries have a stake in whatever outcome results from the present upheaval in Syria. From a US and NATO standpoint, it is highly unfavourable and unlikely, that a NATO country like Turkey and US partner state Israel would not be on the same page regarding the NATO Allies plans for regime change in Syria. Prior to the Gaza Flotilla raid by Israel, IDF fighter jets were allowed to train Turkish airspace for long-range missions, and would likely require the cooperation of Turkey for any future pre-emptive strike against Iran. Will these exercises now resume again? Although at odds over their security interests and Syrias geopolitical alignment with Iran, both Israel and Syria have experienced relative dtente since a UN brokered armistice was signed between the two countries in 1974. But recent Syria rebel exploits in the Golan Height have jarred the balance of that situation, and Israel would likely make the first move should the UNs UNIFIL peacekeeping force, or Damascus ever appear too weak to maintain their hold over the Golan security buffer zone. If the Bashar al Assad regime does fall in Syria, most analysts and pundits are in agreement that the country will descend into a sectarian and paramilitary chaos not unlike that witnessed following NATO last regime change operation in Libya an outcome which would all but guarantee instability and more violence in the region for many years to come. Although Netanyahu and Erdogan are said to have agreed on working together to improve the humanitarian situation in the Palestinian, they also mentioned they would cooperate doing the same in Syria. In addition to absorbing thousands of Syria refugees from the conflict, Israels neighbor Jordan has already taken on the role of facilitator for the US, Britain and Frances proxy war in Syria, but allowing itself to be the main conduit for the transfer of weapons and training for the confab of Syrian Rebel militants and some al Qaeda-affiliated fighting groups all backed by the NATO allies, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar under the table, as it were. From a NATO standpoint, Israel will also need to be on the same page as Jordan. This latest maneuvering may appear like a bizarre U-turn by Israel, and not without some similarly bizarre comments from the Turkish side too. In an oddly worded communiqu, the Turkish PM Erdogans office also released a statement on Friday saying, Erdogan told Binyamin Netanyahu that he valued centuries-long strong friendship and cooperation between the Turkish and Jewish nations. Some might ask here: which centuries-old Jewish nations was he referring to? Its probably just a political gaffe.

2	Obama Makes Sickening Demand For Our Soldiers To Do THIS To Trump Throughout her campaign, President Barack Obama enthusiastically placed his support toward Hillary Clinton. Now that Donald Trump is our President-elect, Obama has put in very little effort to play nice. During a recent speech to a group of soldiers, Obama undermined Trumps authority over and over again. CNS News reports that Obama appeared at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida to talk about the foundation that we will leave for the next administration. During his speech, Obama urged our soldiers to fight against violent extremism and reminded them they have the power to rise up against Trump if they feel he is pushing the wrong policies. Breitbart reports that Obama told the soldiers that we all have the universal right to speak your minds and to protest against authority; to live in a society thats open and free; that can criticize our president without retribution. So rather than offer false promises that we can eliminate terrorism by dropping more bombs or deploying more and more troops or fencing ourselves off from the rest of the world, we have to take a long view of the terrorist threat, Obama argued, clearly attacking Trumps position. And we have to pursue a smart strategy that can be sustained. After insinuating that Trumps strategy was unintelligent, Obama blamed terrorism, the Second Amendment, and global warming for the problems our country faces today. He argued that global warming plays a major role in the conflict with the Middle East, asserting that a changing climate is increasing competition for food and water. Rather than acknowledge the issue of radical terrorism in our country, he once again blamed firearms, stating, Somebody who is trying to kill and willing to be killed is dangerous, particularly when we live in a country where its very easy for that person to buy a very powerful weapon. As if that werent disturbing enough, Obama also found time to criticize the First Amendment for allowing extremism to be proliferated and tipped his hat to Islam. What do you think? Are you ready for a real president to be in the White House? 
3	Orlando Shooter Spent Final Days Obsessing Over Psychotropic Drugs Feds Suppressed This InfoBy Matt Agorist In their mad rush to use this tragedy further the American police and warfare state, the federal government has been steering the narrative to further their own agenda truth and facts be damned. Last week, we reported that Marco Diaz, the current fianc of Orlando shooter Omar Mateens former wife Sitora Yusufiy, told Brazilian television station SBT Brazil that Yusufiy believed Mateen was gay and that she had witnessed Mateens father call him gay several times, but that the FBI asked her not to tell this to the American media. Yesterday, we reported on a man claiming to be Mateens lover, who explained the reason for the shooting was not based on Islamic fundamentalism, but rather a form of revenge. Now, we are finding out that investigators had knowledge Mateen could have been on psychotropic medication, knew it was affecting him, and chose to cover it up. Speaking with anonymity to Reuters, an acquaintance, who frequently ran into Mateen at work, said they watched him drastically change just prior to the shooting. According to the source, who saw Mateen the day of the shooting, he dramatically changed his appearance that fateful day. Mateen shaved his head and face and seemed agitated and surly just before he went on a killing spree. But that is not all; the acquaintance said that Mateen wasinfatuated with anti-psychosis medication in the days before the shooting. Mateen told the acquaintance that he was tired from staying up all night researching the drugs. According to the report in Reuters, the acquaintancepassed the gate where Mateen worked as a security guard for years, and the two became friendly, making small talk several times a week. About three weeks before the attack, he noticed Mateen seemed agitated and asked him if he was all right, according to the report. Mateen said he was worn out from staying up all night to research psychiatric medication, although he did not say he was taking specific drugs. Hed been real worried about whether or not hed slipped into psychosis, the acquaintance said. He wasnt as friendly. He was obsessed with researching medication online. The last month, he looked worried, he looked upset, he looked confused, the acquaintance said. He didnt seem himself. Approximately 18 hours before Mateen would walk into Pulse nightclub, the acquaintance would see him for the last time. In the early morning hours of June 12, the acquaintance drove up to the gate, but Mateen was not there. After waiting for a few minutes, Mateen finally appeared silent, with a transformed look, shaved head and face, and without his glasses. When the acquaintance asked if he was okay, the usually polite Mateen responded, Whats it to you, anyway? As Clinton, Trump, and the rest of the blowhards in Washington use this tragedy to push for gun control and more war, they are grossly misleading the public. As Jay Syrmopoulos pointed out this week, the U.S. homicide rate has hit a 51-year low as gun ownership has increased 141% over that same period. America does not have a gun problem however, we most certainly have a drug problem. To discount Mateens potential use of anti-psychotic drugs would be grossly irresponsible. Suicide, birth defects, heart problems, hostility, violence, aggression, hallucinations, self-harm, delusional thinking, homicidal ideation, and death are just a few of the side effects caused by the medication Mateen was researching. There have been 150 studies in seventeen countries on antidepressant-induced side effects. There have been 134 drug regulatory agency warnings from eleven countries and the EU warning about the dangerous side effects of antidepressants. Despite this deadly laundry list of potential reactions to these medications, the use of antidepressants has skyrocketed by 400% since 1988. Currently, 11 percent of all Americans 12 years of age and over take antidepressant medication, this is a higher rate than all other countries in the world. There are most certainly people of all ages that can benefit from certain prescription medication. However, the most worrisome aspect of Mateens ties to anti-psychotic medication is that the majority of mass shooters in recent U.S. history have links to these same meds. This is not some conspiracy theory either. The side-effects listed by the drug companies themselves include delusional thinking, suicide, and homicidal ideation. One single psychiatric medication prescribed to help people quit smoking has been tied to an epidemic of aggression and suicide. In only five years, 544 suicides and 1,869 attempted suicides were reported to the FDA as adverse events in connection with the drug Chantix, according to documents obtained by America Tonight under the Freedom of Information Act. The website SSRIstories.orghas also been documenting the link betweenselective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and violence. On the site is a collection of over 6,000stories that have appeared in the media (newspapers, TV, scientific journals) in which prescription drugs were mentioned and in which the drugs may be linked to a variety of adverse outcomes including violence. As the establishment continues to scramble for a narrative on the Orlando shooting that fits their agenda, a very severepotential cause for this man snapping and murdering people is not only being ignored, it is being actively suppressed.

Agorist has been an independent journalist for over a decade and has been featured on mainstream networks around the world. Follow @MattAgorist Thank you for publishing this. It was the very first question in my mind when I first learned about the shooting. We know for a fact that 99% of all those who were under 20 years of age and engaged in mass shootings in the US were taking these horrible, dangerous drugs, anti-depressants and psychotropic drugs. In fact, most of the shooters had been on the bad drugs (legal of course) for 10 years or more. All of those persons who have been used by the FBI in these radicalized arrangements are nutty to start with. Heres a guy whose father despised gays and called him gay, and who was known to have gone to this club, and tried to hook up with other men. Heres a guy who was having all kinds of ideation and identity issues from ISIS soldier to terrorist, dealing with self hatred and the hatred of others, as dictated by religious icons. In the right hands, this guy was a danger, and no one tried to help him did they. He was used, introduced to terrorists, encouraged, and used. And yet once again another article from selfnews Post starts out with a direct quote from Reuters (A deranged psychopath) in the very first sentence! selfnews Post grew in popularity because intelligent people who had a questioning attitude wanted a source of information that was not going through the usual globalist and elite-controlled mass media bottleneck filter. However, now that practically every selfnews Post release involves an article that backed up by a pathetic corporate media link (ie. Reuters or AP) it is apparent that this site has been compromised and has been hijacked. (Im done with selfnews Post!) I agree. I still check it just to see what dis-info is being pushed on us. No doubt darpa / mkultra had a hand in his mental hypnotic(?) state. O the the Fed said so. Ok then. 
1	Several weeks after making history by signing the first publicly gay athlete in a major North American sports league, members of the Brooklyn Nets stressed to reporters Friday that they view new teammate Jason Collins only as a really terrible basketball player. We dont look at him as the first openly gay player in the NBAhes just like any other guy on the team who comes in during garbage time and contributes nothing on either side of the ball, said Nets forward Paul Pierce, insisting that on the court, the 35-year-old 7-foot center is an unexceptional, totally ineffective big man and nothing more. His sexuality isnt a big deal to us. Understandably the media and fans will concentrate on that, but in our eyes, hes just another benchwarmer wholl grab a rebound every once in a while and have no actual impact whatsoever on this team. Pierce went on to say that the signing of Collins was not about publicity or marketing, but rather reflects the franchises strategy of building a team around aging players long past their prime. 
2	Kenyan Missionaries: We Know Obama Was Born In Kenya, Heres How... According to recent reports, Kenyans have been supporting suspicions about President Barack Obamas identity by claiming that he was born in their country. Such was the case when Lisa traveled with several members of her Baptist church to Kenya in 2012. She spent 10 days caring for the children in three different orphanages in a village northwest of Nairobi. Lisa claims that on three different occasions, high education Kenyan natives told the team that Obama was from their village. It was the educated people who spoke to us, Lisa claims. Youd see them standing around the street corners reading newspapers. According to Lisa, when she told natives that her team was from the United States, the orphanage staff said, Oh, your president, Obama, hes from here! She then pointed to a nearby village. We were just completely shocked, Lisa claims. We didnt know what to say. But they acted like it was common knowledge. The other orphanage staffers gathered around the matron and were nodding and saying: Yes! Yes! in agreement. In their mind, they were just so excited and proud of the fact that our president was from there. This was just one of many similar occasions Lisa experienced on her trip. According to her, they view Obama as an inspiration for their children, telling them that even they could be the president of America. Lisa claims that she would attempt to correct villagers and tell them that Obama was born in Hawaii, she was promptly corrected. What do you think of Lisas story? Does Obamas identity get more questionable each day? 
2	Allen West Breaks, Completely Unloads On Obama For What He Just Did Colonel Allen West has spent the past eight years in a state of disgust, watching President Barack Obama erode our nations values and strip America of its leadership position. Now, hes finally decided to come forward and let the world know what he thinks. A headline-seeking Obama even had the comeuppance to say if hed been running for a third term, he would have beaten Donald Trump, West commented. Can someone please wake up ol Barry Soetoro from his dream (our nightmare) and tell him this is America, and we have term limits on our presidents. Obama also recently stated hed be interested in being a king of talent scout for the Democrat Party, West continued. Yes, President Obama, this is your pool of recruits, but understand something, there are more of us, everyday patriotic Americans, than these whiners, wimps, and wussiesthat was proved on November 8th. Furthermore, were out recruiting and developing the next generation of constitutional conservatives on college campuses, and in our high schoolsthats what Young Americas Foundation is all about, he concluded. I implore you sir, continue to seek out these kids who seek to be victims. Well seek out victors, and guess who wins in the end? Go ahead Barack, and be the talent scout for those who cry when they dont get what they want. Well raise up the next generation that cries when they hear our National Anthem played, or when Taps is played for a fallen American Warrior. Go right ahead Obama, and find the new leadership of the Democrat Party from the ranks of marginalized populations. Well teach, coach, and mentor the future leaders of America from those who are empowered regardless of where they come from, or where they were bornas they know what unites isnt centered on identity politics, but identity as an American. What do you think? Do you applaud Col. Allen West? 
3	Bureaucratic Insanity: The American Bureaucrats Descent into MadnessBy Sean Kerrigan The number of rules and laws we are subjected to is comedically excessive. But what makes it so unbearable is that they are often enforced with a kind of insatiable, self-righteous venom. Increasingly, modern American bureaucrats whether they be police, teachers, or government paper-pushers are obsessed with conforming to rules and mercilessly punishing those who fail to comply. Officials are so free from common sense, it is literally beyond parody! Consider this recent news story involving a Virginia sixth grader, the son of two school teachers and a member of the schools gifted program. The boy was targeted by school officials after they found a leaf (probably a maple leaf) in his backpack that someone suspected was marijuana. Despite the fact that the leaf in question was not marijuana (which was confirmed after repeated lab test), the 11 year old was still kicked out of school and charged with marijuana possession in juvenile court. Those charges were dropped, but he was still forced to enroll in an alternative school away from his friends, where he is subjected to twice-daily searches for drugs and evaluation for substance abuse problems. As the Washington Post warned: It doesnt matter if your son or daughter brings a real pot leaf to school, or if he brings something that looks like a pot leafokra, tomato, maple, buckeye, etc. If your kid calls it marijuana as a joke, or if another kid thinks it might be marijuana, thats grounds for expulsion. Any reasonable school official would recognize the difference between a technical violation based on an unforeseen oversight and a legitimate attempt to smuggle drugs into the school. But, repeatedly, officials are intent on ignoring their own better sense, instead favoring harsh and litigious punishments. When I first began studying this issue years ago, I asked myself, Where is all this pent-up rage coming from? Why is it being directed toward the weakest and most innocent elements of our society? It seemed to me that news stories like these have become far more common over the last few years. Eventually, I started compiling a list of the most egregious abuses, trying to find a pattern or some explanation as to why the average bureaucrat would take such sadistic pleasure in the suffering of innocent people. I typically hear people argue that this kind of behavior is a result of political correctness gone amok or from the irrational fear of terrorism and mass shootings. Some people said it had to do with fear over losing ones job for failing to comply with the rules as written. While there may be some truth to each of these explanations, they are shallow and inadequate. Many of these issues have nothing to do with guns or terrorism, and many of the rule-enforcing bureaucrats had the authority to minimize harm to the student, but choose not to. Looking closer at each individual instance, its clear most of the offending bureaucrats werent thinking for themselves, but were mindlessly deferring to the written rules. Even the most nurturing and humanistic professions like teachers and doctors have been mechanized into a very narrow range of action. In addition, as a result of the computer revolution, our work is now more detached from a physical reality than ever before. Much of our work in the office centered, technological era is monotonous and endless. A large portion of our waking lives has an ethereal, pointless quality to it. Even teachers, who used to have a humanistic and diverse work life, are now forced to behave like machines, teaching to standardized tests and working a grueling average of 53 hours a week. The psychological effect of this pressure has been profound. Without the ability to make our own decisions and see those positive effects on a regular basis, our work becomes personally meaningless. American bureaucrats superficially look like mild-mannered professionals, but are prone to sudden bouts of aggressive, unsympathetic behavior. They are unable to act out repressed rage in any other socially acceptable way than by doling out punishments, fines, rejections, expulsions and other forms of objective, systemic violence. The purpose of all of these rules and laws, from the perspective of our governing system, is to maximize control over everything that can be controlled and to micromanage every detail possible. From student testing all the way to global trade, the worlds leadership is trying to centralize as much authority as possible to maximize efficiency, profit, and power. On the chopping block however, is our dignity. In Bureaucratic Insanity, I argue that the average American bureaucrat is literally insane, in that they have a warped perception of reality and a kind of intense self-hatred. They externalize this hate by punishing others. They demand absolute conformity as a way to make sense of their meaningless lives. In the book, I document the growth of this trend from the early part of the industrial revolution to the modern day, pointing out its initial appearance in factory life and in the military, later metastasizing to the office, and now its sad appearance in Americas schools. Lastly, we conclude with an assessment of what can be done to insulate ourselves from this seemingly unstoppable trend toward centralization and how to reinvigorate life with real meaning.

Anyone who had an office job 10 years ago who compares it to office work today can attest to the increased presence of absurd micromanaging. Things have clearly gotten worse. More people are depressed and desperate to escape and not everyone knows how to handle it well.

2	Ted Cruz Responds To Young Immigrant Question About Deportation [VIDEO] When Ofelia Valdez, a young woman who was brought to America illegally by her parents, confronted Republican presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz if he thinks she should be deported, were guessing she didnt get the answer she was hoping for. As a DACA holder myself, I am worried about whoever comes next in the presidency and whats gonna happen to people like us? Valdez asked. I think of myself as a part of this community and, you know, first day in presidency you decide to deport, you know, people like myselfits just very difficult to process it, she continued. I would note, if youre a DACA recipient it means that you were brought here illegally, and violating the law has consequences, Cruz responded, and he continued on in an attempt to explain the broken system to Valdez. One of the problems with our broken immigration system is that it is creating human tragedies and there are human tragedies when people break the law, he argued. If I illegally immigrate to England or Germany or France or China or Mexico, and they catch me, they will deport me. Thats what every other country on Earth does, and theres no reason that Americas laws should have less respect than the laws of every other country on Earth, he concluded. What do you think of Cruzs statement? Do you agree that the laws of this country need to be upheld? 
2	Marine Takes Obama Head On After His Farewell Speech... This Is Brutal On Tuesday night, Barack Obama delivered his farewell address to his hometown of Chicago. Liberals were quick to embrace his comments, taking to social media to mourn the departure of the Obamas. For the rest of us, it was a time of celebration. Many Americans have been able to see through Obamas faade and recognize the devastating impacts he has had on our country. He may be a smooth talker at times, but his plans fall apart when he attempts to put them into action. Now, one Marine has written a letter to Obama, telling him just what his legacy really is. This Is Your Legacy Mr. President, For the first time, I can say that Im proud of my country. No, these arent my words, theyre the words of your wife when you took office in 2009. This set the tone for the kind of President youd be, and the kind of legacy you left behind. Your speech to your adoring fans screaming: Four more years! It makes for a good sound bite and video clip, but it doesnt paint the picture of the tens of millions of regular Americans that voted you in twice and gotten stabbed in the back for it. You stood in front of hundreds of veterans and promised that their lives would be better after you took office, that they would get the care that their country owed them. Eight years later, the VA is more broken than ever and my brothers and sisters in arms are committing suicide at an all time high. You ignored the advice of wartime Generals and pulled troops out of an unstable country and gave rise to ISIS, the most evil group of people on the planet. This is your legacy. Our country is twice as much in debt as it was when you took office, to the tune of nearly $20 trillion. That number is so large that is may as well be monopoly money, and the only people that are footing the bill are our children, the ones that you cut off at the knees by taking millions in donations from bloated teachers unions. You know, the ones who hire teachers who cant teach and cant be fired. This is your legacy. You said that America became stronger, but all you did was apologize to corrupt world leaders and made deals with radical Muslims who want us and our allies in Israel to be wiped off the map. You downplayed terrorist attacks as workplace violence, and used national tragedies to trample on the second amendment rights of law abiding citizens. You legitimized the hateful Black Lives Matter movement and gave them the ability to poison the minds of our inner city youth, then stood on the graves on the officers that lost their lives as a result and had the audacity to lecture grieving police officers about race relations. This is your legacy. You said middle America clings to God and guns, while you waged war on both. You tried to pass yourself off as a Christian, while telling radical Muslim nations that practice Sharia Law that you stand with them. This is your legacy. You spoke about Obamacare being a force for good, but dont have the common sense to realize that holding a gun to the heads of people who work for a living, to pay for the ones that dont, makes everyone worse off. Making it illegal for people not to have coverage is exactly the kind of socialism that conservatives warned about before you got into office. You dismissed these claims as conspiracy theories, but now we have regular, healthy families having to pay tens of thousands of dollars for the bare minimum of healthcare. This is your legacy. Before you were elected, you made the case that the first black President would be a milestone for this country. Eight years later, youre standing on the podium, saying: Yes, We Did, like youve accomplished something other than playing a record amount of golf as the country gets ready for its second great recession. This is your legacy. What may come as a surprise to you and the rest of the now far-left pundits that run the media is, the color of your skin never mattered to America. It was the policies that attracted Americans, the decency and unity that you said youd restore to this nation, and it was the betrayal of these ideas which gave us an actual outsider, and the person that you failed to stop, Donald Trump. You will be the President that will be remembered by those too young to know any better, not as a champion and protector of our rights and Constitution, but as a celebrity. Everything youve done to this country over your eights years will be wiped from the history books, and your legacy, as much as it hurts right now, will be nothing more than a distant memory. I wish you farewell, and Im hopeful for the future of my country, which just proved that it deserves someone better than you. -J 
1	Currency-themed website KurrencyKook.com weighed in on the Department of the Treasurys soon-to-be-released 2013 line of $100 bills with a decidedly mixed review Thursday. Overall, the bill is crisp and the inking is neatly done, and yet I cant help but see this entire redesign as a bit of a missed opportunity, said veteran currency reviewer John The Buck Mullen, who gave the banknote 62 cents out of 100 in his 1,100-word write-up. The fine-line printing on the Benjamin Franklin portrait on its obverse is excellent, without a doubt, but ultimately, this only mildly pleasing bill is far from the Treasurys best effort. It leaves one wondering, the farther away we get from the stunning 1996 redesign, if the Treasury will ever again match those lofty heights. KurrencyKooks review contrasted sharply with that of rival site MoneyManDan.com, which claimed the new bill was the kind of legal tender design you dream about: elegant, forward-thinkingand, if I may, this baby looks like a million bucks. 
2	Trump Announces Vice President Running Mate Despite efforts of liberals to take him down, Donald Trump has remained the GOP presidential frontrunner for nearly seven months now. At this point, the likeliness that Trump will be president is being taken very, very seriously. Now, it appears the legendary businessman is looking into a partner for Vice President. According to reports, Trump reportedly told a New Hampshire crowd at a rally hosted by Scott Brown that the former Massachusetts senator would make an excellent running mate. When an audience member asked Trump if he would consider Brown as his Vice President, he was quick to show his support. Vice Presidenthey, that sounds like it could, hey, hey, very good, Trump responded. Hey, you know what? And hes central casting. Look at that guy. Central casting. Hes great, Trump continued. Great guy and a great, beautiful, great wife and family. So important. What do you think? Would Brown make a good VP for Trump? 
3	Information Control in the Digital Age: The Journey From Internet Piracy to Full Spectrum TyrannyJoe Wright As this video reveals, both forms of oppression have very little to with the stated protections which they claim to offer, and much more to do with a concern over the free-flow of information itself. As this journey continues, we are faced with a familiar position taken by those who seekcontrol; one that is perfectly revealed by Brian Boeting of the FBIs Cyber Investigative Task Force: Any type of activity online can be considered a security threat; because, as we said, the technology can be used for both good and for bad, and any type of activity we see even that smaller and less exciting type of criminal activity can be used as a bridge or a tool by anyone to facilitate some type of greater cyber attack. This paranoid mentality of potential threat is the mantra of every security-surveillance state that has ever existed. It is one which has now been applied to the real world as well, and the Internet is the perfect place to ensure that the entire apparatus goes global. If and when these two worlds of cyber and real are permitted to fully meet; where not only is ones existence as a human being capable of daily activity and thought assumed to be part of the threatscape, but also every thought and action in the cyberworld a reason for full extrajudicial scrutiny and punishment, we will be living under the greatest totalitarian prison systemthat the world has ever known. Until then, activism must increase across the spectrum if we are to retain any of which has previously led us to the concept of a free and prosperous society.

Worthington III demanded to know the meaning of this Monday. What is the meaning of this? the red-faced Worthington said upon discovering the stately oak desk in his office covered in toilet paper. What have you insolent young hooligans done? I demand an explanation and an apology at once! Following a contrived explanation by the students, Worthington winced skeptically and warned that future acts of mischief would be dealt with severely. Later in the day, Worthington was grievously embarrassed when white paint was splattered all over his dark suit. 
1	Acknowledging that he must accept the consequences of his actions, local 37-year-old Christopher McGwire told reporters Monday that he has no one else to blame but himself for the targeted pool toy advertisements that have been regularly appearing in his browser window over the past two weeks. As annoying and invasive as these banner ads are, I have to admit that Im the one who looked at a few inflatable inner tubes a few weekends back, said McGwire, who first began to see the swim-related banner ads after aimlessly browsing the selection of dive sticks and floating ride-on toys at the online store of a pool supplies retailer last month. Honestly, I cant say that I didnt sort of ask to see pictures of pool noodles, swim floaties, and light-up beach balls every time I go online. Its my own fault, really, and I just have to deal with it. McGwire, who confirmed that he often clicks on untrustworthy links, admitted that he probably deserves to deal with his laptops slow computer speed as well.

2	VIDEO: Thugs Beat White Girl Senseless For Carrying A Confederate Flag Recently, a white woman was attacked by group of black men. Why? She was carrying a confederate flag on her way to a fundraiser, and the flag was meant to be a prop to symbolize the South. The victim, only four feet eleven inches tall, says the incident was unprovoked. We didnt say a word to them. First, they started kicking me and trying to knock me down, she explained to reporters. I mean, I cant be racist for what one group of kids did. I mean, theyre not all like that. Her views are admirable given the extreme circumstance. Perhaps one of the most shocking reactions was that of local police, who decided not to label the assault a hate crime. However we struggle to see any other explanation. Watch the video below and let us know what you think. UPDATE: Sorry the video has been removed. 
1	Stipulating that the funds be used for furthering the invalidation of sexual assault claims wherever they occur, an anonymous donation received Thursday by Temple University is reportedly intended to be used to build a center for discrediting rape allegations. The donor, who has chosen to withhold his identity, requested that his $30 million endowment go toward a facility dedicated to undermining accusations of sexual abuse, said alumni relations representative Cheryl Walker, adding that an unsigned letter accompanying the sizable contribution specified that the center act as a campuswide resource for damaging the reputation of rape victims, as well as a hub for research into methods of sowing doubt about sexual misconduct charges. This benefactor, who is clearly a very wealthy individual, made plain through his legal intermediary that all students, faculty, and alumni have access to the center, and that especially promising work into tearing apart rape allegations until the accuser herself becomes an object of ridiculeeven if such discrediting occurs decades after the factcould receive additional funding. Walker added that while $30 million was a significant amount of money, Temple had chosen to decline the funding and hoped it would not hear from the anonymous donor again. 
3	DWI Arrests Skyrocket After Uber and Lyft Chased Out of AustinBy Clarice Palmer The Austin Police Department released new numbers to KEYE TV that show there were 359 DWI arrests from May 9, the day Uber and Lyft shut down, to May 31st of this year, KEYE TV reported. Last year during the same time period, there were 334 arrests. Thats a 7.5 percent increase in the weeks following their departure. But before the ridesharing apps were essentially banned from Austin, Uber released a statement claiming drunk driving crashes had been decreasing in the region since the app became popular among locals. They urged Austin residents to help stand with them. A Politifact report reviewed Ubers claim, ruling the ridesharing giant was mostly correct. Since ridesharing entered the Austin market, the rate of DWI crashes dropped 23 percent, suggesting that, perhaps, making rides widely available correlated with the rate shift. In Austin, there are more bars per capita than any other city in the United States. It would be fair to think locals would fight any attempt to restrict or ban two of the most drunk-friendly companies in the country. Yet just a month ago, Austinites said no to Proposition 1, a ballot defeat that allowed the City of Austin to go ahead with plans to require that rideshare drivers be fingerprinted for background checks. The city also moved to prohibit rideshare drivers from stopping in lanes of traffic while picking up passengers. These changes prompted Silicon Valley-based Uber and Lyft to leave town. The gap left behind prompted local drivers to help fill the vacuum. Now, instead of a ridesharing app, Austinites turn to Facebook groups to find a ride. After May 9, 10,000 Uber drivers lost their credentials, and Arcade City/Request A Ride was born. It is a closed Facebook group with over 36,000 members that offers locals an opportunity to request and give rides to total strangers. But as the group becomes popular, problems are beginning to concern users. According to Vocativ, people are posting their locations to thousands of other locals, which is a concern on its own but other problems appear to have already been giving Arcade City members serious headaches. Equally alarming, Vocativ suggests, theres no way of knowing whos actually picking you up. Anyone can join the group, make a Facebook profile, and photoshop a fake Uber profile to their liking. In spite of these concerns, Arcade Citys popularity gains traction and city officials have vowed to bring the group down, targeting the ridesharing group and its users by impounding peoples cars. In a statement, Arcade Citys founder, Christopher David, said: The City of Austin created a mess by pushing out Uber and Lyft. Now the City is impounding the vehicles of drivers who are helping to clean up that mess. Everyone involved with this sting should be ashamed. Austin is not the only city where officials seem to be targeting ridesharing. Chicago could also lose the apps if the harsher regulations passed recently by the City Council have the same effect as the new restrictions in Austin.

It was beneficial to the City and with this article we see how, which though typical is disgraceful. They need to recall those crook politicians before anyone else gets such an idea Exactly. This is just the tip of the iceberg that is infecting us throughout our nation. The criminals have formed a mafia and care not about justice truth or what is right, and they have infiltrated just about every facet of our lives in the name of greed and self serving gains. They banned apps that folks were using to get rides when inebriated. Now they get arrested, fined and license removed. Brilliant. 
2	BREAKING: FBI Finally Makes Move To Arrest Hillary Clinton... Well, this could be the end for Hillary Clinton. According to recent reports, the Clinton campaign is panicking now that the FBI is deeply investigating her. This time, shes a suspect for espionage. According to reports, the FBI is currently trying to determine whether the former Secretary of State violated federal laws by making false statements about the way she handled classified materials while in office. The agents involved are under a lot of pressure, one source told Fox News, who was quick to point out that this is a serious expansion in the investigation against Hillary. The investigation focuses on U.S. Code 18, Section 1001, which specifically forbids giving materially false statements about any circumstances that are under the jurisdiction of the federal government. The problem for the defendant is when their statements cause the bureau to expand more time, energy, resources to de-conflict their statements with the evidence, FBI officer Timothy Gill told reporters. What do you think? Could this end Hillary once and for all?

Clarion Project National Security Analyst Ryan Mauro recently shared a video of the training center on The OReilly Factor during a segment covering the five most dangerous American organizations linked to Islamic extremism. The video focused on Hancock, an area that has been called Islamberg, which is currently hosting a compound hosted by The Muslims of the Americas. The video shoes about a dozen armed Muslims marching in formation, and Mauro told OReilly that he FBI is aware of the compound but can only monitor the camp because it has not officially been designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Mauro also named a few additional organizations in the United States facing the same barriers, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations. What do you think? Does law enforcement need the authority to investigate these compounds and take preventive action if necessary?

1	Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole joined Jeep Cherokee, Ford Taurus and Cadillac Seville on Car and Drivers 10 Best American Automobiles list yesterday. When it comes to performance, style and even off-road handling, Bob Dole is a superb automobile, Car and Driver editor Gary Yancy said at the lists unveiling. Rack and pinion steering, anti-lock brakes, and a passenger-side airbag all come standard in Dole, not to mention the best shift-on-the-fly four-wheel system on the market. Reaction from the Dole office was swift, especially on the heels of such negative campaign events as a recent terrorist bombing of his outer hull, having a child trapped in his internal gears, and being chased and almost captured by a torch-carrying mob. Bob Dole is the best example of American automotive ingenuity on the market, Dole said. Bob Dole is going to be the next President of the United States. 
1	Expressing concern that they wouldnt come up with anything good before the International Motor Show in September, concept car designers at BMWs corporate headquarters admitted to reporters Thursday they have been struggling to think of cool new ways for their automobiles doors to open. We set the bar way too high with gull-wing doors and those scissor doors that swing open vertically from a hinge on the front, so now were pretty hard-pressed to come up with anything half as good as that, said engineer Rudolph Reindell, who noted that his team easily devised innovative new body, grill, and spoiler designs, but have been stuck on doors for weeks. Weve been sitting around bouncing door ideas off one another every day, but so far, the best weve come up with is one that you pull up like a garage door and another with hinges on the bottom so you can walk up it like a ramp into the car, but they both look pretty stupid on our modeling software. Oh, wait, what about ones that swing inward into the car? No, no, thats terrible. Jesus. At press time, sources confirmed the frustrated designers decided to give up and just go with a doorless car that passengers would have to crawl into through the trunk.

Christ, Ive already checked all of todays Gawker posts and everything new on Boing Boing and its not even noon yet, said Gaither, noting that he had additionally plowed through the latest updates on Fail Blog, Texts From Last Night, and Bleacher Report, where he typically fritters away his time throughout the course of a full workday. Man, Im really running out of ideas here. Ive even taken another pass at the XKCD archives and burned through just about every subreddit I can think of. What the hell am I supposed to do for the next six hours? Gaither confirmed that his current dilemma was the worst hed faced since last week when he got roped into attending a morning sales meeting and consequently had to spend the rest of the day fervently catching up on all of the online time-squandering hed missed. 
1	Although his father, Bob Dylan, is widely considered to be the voice of a generation, Jakob Dylan, lead singer of folk-rock band the Wallflowers, said Monday he remains unconvinced that his father is the family's most talented songwriter. 'I definitely think the verdict is still out,' said Dylan, adding that time will be the ultimate judge of whether he or the elder Dylan will turn out to be more influential. 'Sure, by the time Dad was 21, he had already written 'Blowin' in the Wind,' but let's not forget I'm only 38. I'm still maturing as an artist, and I have a whole notebook of ideas.' Dylan added that he may have caused a greater stir in the music world than his father ever did when he was mercilessly booed for performing an acoustic version of 'One Headlight' at Pennsylvania's Fayette County Fair in 2005. 
3	Your privacy online: Health information at serious risk of abusePersonal health information historically protected by the Hippocratic Oath has suddenly become the property of private corporations who may sell it to the highest bidder. There is a significant risk to your privacy whenever you visit a health-related web page. An analysis of over 80,000 such web pages shows that nine out of ten visits result in personal health information being leaked to third parties, including online advertisers and data brokers. This puts users are risk for two significant reasons: first, peoples health interests may be publicly identified along with their names. This could happen because criminals get ahold of the information, it is accidentally leaked, or data brokers collect and sell the information. Second, many online marketers use algorithmic tools which automatically cluster people into groups with names like target and waste. Predictably, those in the target category are extended favorable discounts at retailers and advance notice of sales. Given that 62 percent of bankruptcies are the result of medical expenses, it is possible anyone visiting medical websites may be grouped into the waste category and denied favorable offers. For individuals, this means profiles are built based on web page visits, potentially resulting in someone being labeled a commercial risk due to the fact that they have used a site like WebMD.com or CDC.gov to look up health information for themselves, a family member, or a friend. Given that data brokers are free to sell any information they collect regarding visits to health websites, those visiting such sites are potentially at risk of being discriminated against by potential employers, retailers, or anybody else with the money to buy the data. These findings are reported in the article Privacy Implications of Health Information Seeking on the Web, appearing in the March 2015 issue of Communication of the ACM. Timothy Libert, a doctoral student at the University of Pennsylvanias Annenberg School for Communication wrote the article. He authored a software tool that investigates Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requests initiated to third party advertisers and data brokers. He found that 91 percent of health-related web pages initiate HTTP requests to third-parties. Seventy percent of these requests include information about specific symptoms, treatment, or diseases (AIDS, Cancer, etc.). The vast majority of these requests go to a handful of online advertisers: Google collects user information from 78 percent of pages, comScore 38 percent, and Facebook 31 percent. Two data brokers, Experian and Acxiom, were also found on thousands of pages. Google offers a number of services which collect detailed personal information such as a users persona email (Gmail), work email (Apps for Business), and physical location (Google Maps), Libert writes. For those who use Googles social media offering, Google+, a real name is forcefully encouraged. By combining the many types of information held by Google services, it would be fairly trivial for the company to match real identities to anonymous web browsing data. Indeed, in 2014, the The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada found Google to be violating privacy Canadian laws. Advertisers promise their methods are wholly anonymous and therefore benign, Libert writes. Yet identification is now always required for discriminatory behavior to occur. He cites a 2013 study where individuals names were associated with web searches of a criminal record, simply based on whether someone had a black name. Personal health information historically protected by the Hippocratic Oath has suddenly become the property of private corporations who may sell it to the highest bidder or accidentally misuse it to discriminate against the ill, Libert said. As health information seeking has moved online, the privacy of a doctors office has been traded in for the silent intrusion of behavioral tracking. Online privacy has for some time been a concern. Studies conducted by Annenberg dating back to 1999 indicate wariness among Americans about how their personal information may be used. And slightly more than one in every three Americans even knows that private third-parties can track their visits to health-related websites. Libert points out that the Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) is not meant to police business practices by third party commercial entities or data brokers. The field of regulation is widely nonexistent in the U.S., meaning that individuals looking up health information online are left exposed and vulnerable. According to Libert, Proving privacy harms is always a difficult task. However, this study demonstrates that data on online health information seeking is being collected by entities not subject to regulation oversight. This information can be inadvertently misused, sold, or even stolen. Clearly there is a need for discussion with respect to legislation, policies, and oversight to address health privacy in the age of the internet. Press source: University of Pennsylvania

3	How to Correct the Course of AmericaSARTRE, Contributor Thankfully, the remnant of the old Republic understands the futility of the national electoral process and the phony political party system. The scars of pounding your head against a brick wall allow the luxury of going in a different direction. The country is vast and diverse. Consensus is rare, but not impossible. The secular dominant culture is not very sophisticated nor does the average person aspire to become an avid political prophet. Most just want a decent chance of having a good life. Putting on the armor of a patriotic warrior is foreign to the majority. So how can there be any possibility of positively affecting the course of America? Loyal readers of BATR know that its dialogues are a comprehensive view on the human condition. The underlying premise of any persuasive endeavor rests on the premise that change is possible, when the will is strong and a constructive direction is knowable. The forces of the New World Order and the globalist cabal are powerful and worldwide. A universal frustration and a feeling of despair cry out for an alternative to the sins of the political class. Public opinion is important and can be decisive. Candidly, political revolutions are based upon ideas not voting blocks. America desperately needs a fundamental purging of the social order. The two greatest dangers that impact every American stems from the economic banking system and the threats coming out of a foreign policy in a hostile world. For the purpose of evaluation, put aside all other differences and concentrate on the magnitude and scope of instituting truly meaning change. Abolish Central Banking and the Federal Reserve The enslavement precepts that are intrinsic in the evil central banking, debt created monetary system are the root cause of all the economic ills. A cultural revolt against legal tender laws that coerces every resident into a fatal spiral of currency devaluation is the intellectually dominant issue of our economic well being. As the country verges on a disastrous acceleration of the ongoing depression, the prospects of hyperinflation loom with every influx of quantitative easing. Careerist politicians will never stand-up to the Wall Street banksters and legislate the demise of the Federal Reserve System. In recent years, the powers of the Fed have been greatly expanded. The only alternative that the beleaguered taxpayer has to combat the nefarious scheme to keep the public in interminable debt is to withdraw from the banking system. Until a nationwide consensus is built that forces critical mass for the elimination of debt created money obligations, none of the other financial offenses can be cured. Individual States need to develop financial instruments that replace the counterfeit Federal Reserve notes that sadly pass for the U.S. Dollar. States should use Nullification as a means to renounce unconstitutional money.The federal government needs to be compelled to issue Treasury Green Backs as a successor to the current funny money that enriches the controllers of the Federal Reserve. Pressure and non-compliance are the necessary methods, which must be used to collapse the debt-ridden behemoth of the central banksters. The current debt should be repudiated and written off the books of the Treasury. The ill-gotten treasure stolen from the American public by the usurpers of a genuine free enterprise economy, needs to be clawed back as restitution. The private Federal Reserve Central Bank must be forced into bankruptcy and the assets liquidated. Remember that these tactics can only be practically implemented after a national revolt against the fraudulent financial system is recognized as the reason for the collapse of the economy. Abandon a Global Empire and Re-establish an American First Foreign Policy The false and failed foreign policy of internationalism has resulted in a national captivity of insecurity and permanent and perpetual war. The waste of treasure and blood on foreign soil to expand an imperium that serves the corporatists and banksters is a negation of the founding principles of our nation. Until the public confronts their childish version of supporting the troops, right or wrong; the vicious interventionists will continue to export their hubris-filled version of American despotism abroad. The insecurity of domestic borders is a conscious result of global garrison intrusion.The deceitful and faux War on Terror is based upon a false premise and rests upon lies, deception and fabrication. The notion that dissent stops at the waters edge is nothing more than an excuse to allow the transnational corporatists to dictate where the military will next stomp their boots on the ground of a foreign country. The idealism of Wilsonian internationalist doctrine has become the dread of continuous body bags. Since the Big Stick of Teddy Roosevelt, the country speaks with dire intimidation, deadly threats and bombs from the sky. It comes as no surprise, when the blowback comes home, from overseas wounded, who are simple collateral damage to the State Department. The decline of the American Republic can be traced directly to the sorry record of foreign involvements. The realm of repression originates in the dominance of alien lands. The seeds of globalism could not take hold, without mercenary troops deployed worldwide, to enforce the Free Trade hoax, which only benefits the same international thieves, who extort your well being and pocketbook. As long as the public tolerate the destruction of our true self-interest and allows the wasting of additional generations of youth for the advancement and maintenance of the military-industrial-security complex, the country is doomed. Only a total renunciation of the immoral Amerikan Empire can restore an authentic national defense that really protects the nation. Can anything be done to correct the course of America? No doubt, many will disagree with the brief description of the two most important revisions to the current failed system. The establishment goes to war against enemy combatants as a rule of course for much lesser transgressions. Domestically, the despotism that is the new normal coerces compliance under the real consequence from the agencies of the federal government goon squads. KISS (keep it simple stupid) is the standard that most citizens operate under. That is why only a tightly crafted national issue that incorporates a compendium of related and complimentary restructuring has even a modest chance for traction. The political class will fight to their authoritarian death to prevent a massive uprising from the decaying city street or the rural backwaters. Yet without a national revolt against the establishment dictators and their corrupt institutions of command and control, is there any chance to correct the course of the country? As any regular reader will attest, the prospects for the public to rally to this cause are minimal. Apathy is the national pastime. Simply blaming the couch potato culture for lack of will avoids the valid criticism that true national leadership to frame the essential debate, has been absent for decades. Notwithstanding, the Paulianmessage from this presidential election season is too frightening for the average consumer to get off their behind and get angry. A critical mass of rebellion is the only chance for a profound confrontation with the governance hacks, which serve the interests of the elites that restrain the debate to meaningless subjects. Distraction from essential elements for reclamation of our birthrights is the master component used by the power cabal to keep people entertained in their self-induced stupor. The will to engage in courageous action is the missing ingredient that the public needs to find within themselves. For most, adding to their waistline dimensions is more rewarding than to seek the dignity of an independent and honest citizen.

3	Dick Cheney Poisoned Hundreds of US Troops in Iraq Theyre Dying And the Media is SilentBy Justin Gardner The infamous Kellogg, Brown, and Root (KBR), which was a part of Dick Cheneys corporate empire under Halliburton, operated about 250 burn pits which contributed to the $40 billion that Halliburton made during the Iraq occupation. Every type of waste imaginable was burned, including tires, lithium batteries, asbestos insulation, pesticide containers, Styrofoam, metals, paints, plastic, medical waste and even human corpses. This reprehensible practice proves yet again that nothing is sacred when it comes to the military machine. Just as the U.S. laid waste to Vietnams human health and jungle environment with Agent Orange, it wrecked human health and environmental quality in Iraq. That country will suffer from this toxicity for decades, as evidenced by sharp increases in birth defects and cancer and leukemia rates. Likewise, U.S. veterans and their families are bearing the brunt of this travesty. The Burn Pits: The Poisoning of Americas Soldiers begins with the story of a healthy young soldier sent to Iraq who was constantly exposed to smoke from burn pits. When he returned home with respiratory problems, the Veterans Administration (VA) denied him care, and he later developed brain cancer and died. Those who do survive are having children with birth defects at a rate three times higher than normal, according to the book. The denial of medical coverage by the VA for burn pit-related illnesses is a central strategy in denying that burn pits even posed a health hazard. Beau Biden, the son of vice president Joe Biden, died of brain cancer after serving in Iraq in the vicinity of burn pits. Even this tragedy, which is similar to many stories of exposure and death, never brought attention to the issue of burn pits. Salon interviewed author Joseph Hickman, who provided even more shocking details, and how the Department of Defense (DoD) does all it can to keep this knowledge from the public. I think the Department of Defense does its best to squash this story and so does Veterans Affairs. They really dont want this out at all. Hickson interviewed one former KBR employee who was very reluctant to even talk about burn pits for fear of repercussions, as he was harassed by KBR when he previously came forward about the issue. By using private contractors for such operations, the DoD facilitates these egregious assaults on human and environmental health because contractors are not held to the standards of the military. This dependency on contractors feeds their tendency for carelessness. According to Hickson, the upper management said at one point, If theyre going to investigate us over these burn pits, dont worry about it. If we pull out, they cant run this base. The U.S. government, in its effort to conceal the impact of burn pits, even managed to influence a World Health Organization report that downplayed the effects. It stands in stark contrast to several independent researchers who found large increases in birth defects, leukemia, cancer and other carcinogenic diseased in populations living near burn pits. Theres a large group of epidemiologists that absolutely believe that that report was influenced by the U.S. government. Dr. Mozhgan Savabieasfahani, a widely respected environmental toxicologist, has been there and seen the birth defects and how we literally destroyed that country with pollution. There are birth defects there that dont even have medical names yet. The evidence compiled by Hickson and presented in his book makes it downright criminal for the DoD and politicians to continue denying the issue. When veterans suffering from burn-pit illnesses contact their Congressmen, there is silence because they are in bed with the defense industry. General David Petraeus and other top DoD officials have denied the health effects of burn pits, but veterans have no recourse because they cant sue the government. There is a lawsuit against KBR, but the DoD will not acknowledge that the burn pits were misused. While politicians and military brass issue patriotic platitudes about honoring those who serve their country, the reality is that soldiers are just a name and a number, and theyre thrown away when the military machine is done with them. Defense corporations reap billions as veterans and local populations suffer sickness and death. Please share this article in the hope that exposure can force accountability for the toxic legacy of burn pits. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com Furthermore. It is nothing wrong with defending your country from evil intruders, but the soldiers who go to war, whether they go to Iraq or any other place, are NOT fighting for their country, but for a Global society where they themselves will be slaves, therefore creating their own horrific future, by participating in the wars of the Globalists. The soldiers who go to war are unknowingly the Soldiers of the Globalists. Clinton, Bush, Obama and the other puppets couldnt care less if you live or if you die. As a matter of fact, they prefer that you die a dead soldier is a good soldier and one less worthless mouth to feed (useless eaters, as Henry Kissinger once called us all). By refusing to support our own misery, we have to refuse military service as long as the Globalists still pull the strings. And when they are not pulling the strings anymore, eventually we need no soldiers anyway. The American MSM has been complicit with government and industry egregious actions for decades now. exposure can force accountability for the toxic legacy of DEPLETED URANIUM ! Business as usual: the only good soldier is a dead soldier. The fact that Cheney still isnt in a prison cell is a testament to the corruption of our government. Bernie 2016! The all seeing eye crowd uses the military as their personal mercanary force. what about the D.U.? Eventually, detailed reports of Cheneys programs will be reported, including his involvement in 9-11. Americans will have a better understanding of the many thousands around the world, who have been crippled, whose lives have been abbreviated and whose babies were malformed, due to Cheneys evil devices. 
1	Citing the recent extreme winter weather that has caused widespread flight delays and cancellations across the country, Delta Airlines counter agent Karen Reinhardt gave stranded man Rod Sloan her personal assurance Tuesday that he will never, ever see his family again. Sir, you have my word, the word of our Newark crew, and the assurance of the entire Delta Airlines corporation that you will never feel your wifes warm embrace or see the loving faces of your three young children ever again, said Reinhardt, who also guaranteed that the recent holidays Sloan spent with his family will surely be his last. I promise that you are now a man with no family, no home, no center; an outcast; a wanderer unmoored to all you once held dear, left to start anew in a cold and forbidding land. Let me know if there is anything else we can help you with. Reinhardt went on to reassure Sloan that he would never lay eyes on his checked baggage again, either. 
1	In a decisive 10 decision Monday, President Bush voted to grant the president the constitutional power to grant himself additional powers. President Bush announces announcement of the new power-granting announcement. 'As president, I strongly believe that my first duty as president is to support and serve the president,' Bush said during a televised address from the East Room of the White House shortly after signing his executive order. 'I promise the American people that I will not abuse this new power, unless it becomes necessary to grant myself the power to do so at a later time.' The Presidential Empowerment Act, which the president hand-drafted on his own Oval Office stationery and promptly signed into law, provides Bush with full authority to permit himself to authorize increased jurisdiction over the three branches of the federal government, provided that the president considers it in his best interest to do so. 'In a time of war, the president must have the power he needs to make the tough decisions, including, if need be, the decision to grant himself even more power,' Bush said. 'To do otherwise would be playing into the hands of our enemies.' Added Bush: 'And it's all under due process of the law as I see it.' <p>'The president can grant himself the&nbsp; power to interpret new laws however he sees fit, then use that power to interpret a law in such a manner that in turn grants him increased power.'</p><p>Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez</p> In addition, the president reserves the right to overturn any decision to allow himself to increase his power by using a line-item veto, which in turn may only be overruled by the president. Senior administration officials lauded Bush's decision, saying that current presidential powers over presidential power were 'far too limited.' 'Previously, the president only had the power to petition Congress to allow him to grant himself the power to grant more power to himself,' Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez said shortly after the ceremony. 'Now, the president can grant himself the power to interpret new laws however he sees fit, then use that power to interpret a law in such a manner that in turn grants him increased power.' In addition, a proviso in the 12th provision of the new law permits Bush the authority to waive the need for any presidential authorization of power in a case concerning national security, although legal experts suggest it would be little exercised. Despite the president's new powers, the role of Congress and the Supreme Court has not been overlooked. Under the new law, both enjoy the newly broadened ability to grant the president the authority to increase his presidential powers. <p>'The only thing we can do now is withhold our ability to grant him more authority to grant himself more power&#8212;unless he authorizes himself to strip us of that power.'</p><p>Sen. Harry Reid (D&#8211;NV)</p> 'This gives the president the tools he needs to ensure that the president has all the necessary tools to expedite what needs to be done, unfettered by presidential restrictions on himself,' said Rep. John Cornyn (R-TX). 'It's long overdue.' Though public response to the new law has been limited, there has been an unfavorable reaction among Democrats, who are calling for restrictions on Bush's power to allow himself to grant the president more powers that would restrict the powers of Congress. 'This is a clear case of President Bush having carte blanche to grant himself complete discretion to enact laws to increase his power,' Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said. 'The only thing we can do now is withhold our ability to grant him more authority to grant himself more power.' 'Unless he authorizes himself to strip us of that power,' Reid added. Despite criticism, Bush took his first official action under the new law Tuesday, signing an executive order ordering that the chief executive be able to order more executive orders. In addition, Republicans fearful that the president's new power undermines their ability to grant him power have proposed a new law that would allow senators to permit him to grant himself power, with or without presidential approval. 
3	Lost Faith In Central Banks And The Economic End GameBy Brandon Smith High-paying jobs are disappearing, and the only jobs replacing them are in the low-wage service sector. This problem is becoming so pervasive that certain more socialist states including California and New York are attempting to offset the loss of sustainable income jobs by forcing retail and service companies into paying an inflated minimum wage. That is to say, states hope to stop the bloodletting in wages by magically turning low-paying jobs into high-paying jobs. As anyone with any economic sense knows, you cannot have a faltering consumer sector in which people are buying less and force service-based companies to pay their employees far more per hour than the job is worth. Those companies will simply lay off more employees, cut hours or shut down entire branches of their operations in order to maintain their profit margins. Either that, or those companies will go out of business. One sector, though, has continued to reap certain benefits (for now), and that is equities. There is a good reason for this. The stock market is a kind of Pavlovian control mechanism, a mental trigger in the minds of the masses that dominates their perceptions of the worlds financial health. The drooling public sees green lines and they hail impending recovery; they see red lines and suddenly they begin to wonder if all is not well. As the former head of the Federal Reserve Dallas branch, Richard Fisher, admitted in an interview with CNBC, the U.S. central bank in particular has made its business the manipulation of the stock market to the upside since 2009: What the Fed did and I was part of that group is we front-loaded a tremendous market rally, starting in 2009. Its sort of what I call the reverse Whimpy factor give me two hamburgers today for one tomorrow. Im not surprised that almost every index you can look at was down significantly. [Referring to the results in the stock market after the Fed raised rates in December.] Fisher went on to hint at the impending danger: I was warning my colleagues, Dont go wobbly if we have a 10-20% correction at some point. Everybody you talk to has been warning that these markets are heavily priced. Central banks have focused most of their efforts on levitating the Dow as well as energy markets for some time now. Why? Because the general public does not pay attention to any other market indicators. They do not care that equipment giant Caterpillar is having the worst profit period in the companys history. They do not care that the Baltic Dry Index, a measure of global shipping rates and thus a measure of global orders for raw goods, continues to bounce around well below its original historic lows due to crashing shipping demand. They do not care that according to the World Economic Forum, oil demand has dropped to levels not seen since 1997. They do not know nor do they care to know. Their only barometer for economic danger is the Dow, and central banks know this well. Something has changed recently, though. Why, for example, did the Fed go against its long-time mandate of manipulating equities into positive territory by committing to the taper of QE3? Why did they then later commit to hiking interest rates, an action they KNEW would cause a massive downturn in stocks? The jawboning of stocks in March back from the brink actually tells us a lot in terms of the central banks intentions. First, it tells us that the Fed does not intend to use tools such as rate cuts and stimulus measures to buy back market optimism. Rather, they are relying solely on investor faith that central banks are not going to leave them high and dry. They have decided to use manipulative language alone, rather than the manipulative monetary policy we have grown accustomed to. Second, the action of the Fed in raising rates has torn away the veil and shown the public stocks truly cannot survive without central bank support. The moment the Fed leaves markets to their own devices, the only things left for investors to turn to are the fundamentals, and of course the fundamentals are ugly beyond belief. Thus, stocks begin to plummet. As I point out in my article Markets Ignore Fundamentals And Chase Headlines Because They Are Dying, some of the greatest market rallies in U.S. history occurred during the onset of the Great Depression, and all of these rallies were based on a false sense of public faith that recovery was right around the corner. The rally this past March is no different. There are no fundamentals to back it, it was built entirely on faith, and soon it will implode as similar rallies did during the Depression. Just in the past week alone, certain signs are bubbling to the surface to undermine the facade of the recent dubious rally. For anyone who was betting on oil markets to continue their rally past the $40 per barrel mark, there was a lot of bad news. Saudi Arabia crushed optimism by announcing that it would not be entertaining a production freeze proposal unless ALL other oil producing nations, including Iran, also agreed to it. Iran then doubly crushed optimism by announcing an increase in production rather than committing to a freeze. Russia then administered the final blow by releasing data showing that their oil output had risen to historic levels, indicating that they will not be entering into any agreement on a production freeze. Besides a recent overly optimistic (and rather suspicious inventory draw) which has caused a short-term rebound, all indicators show that oil will be headed back to the lows seen at the beginning of this year. Why do oil markets matter? Well, it would seem that stocks for the past few months have been loosely tracking oil. When oil has taken a dramatic turn to the negative, so have stocks. This may be a purely psychological correlation, but that is kind of the point. ALL stock market movements are purely psychological today, and when psychological optimism fails, the fundamentals strike hard. So far, oil is solidly back in volatile territory, and equities are following. In fact, most of the world is beginning to feel tremors yet again in stocks as central bank meeting and announcements are having less and less affect on positive psychology. Asian markets were trounced the past week with a return to volatility as Chinese and Japanese central banks were either unable or unwilling to slow the tide. European markets followed, with some market participants coming to terms with the nature of the recent rally: The market is missing confidence, said Mathias Haege, who helps oversee 300 million euros ($342 million) as managing partner of MaxAlpha Asset Consultant in Frankfurt. At the end of the day, it doesnt matter what central banks are doing if economic growth doesnt accelerate and corporate earnings continue to shrink. And there you have it. Stock markets are in no way a measure of economic health at this time, they are only a measure of investor confidence in central banks, and that confidence is failing in light of extremely negative fundamentals. So, I ask again, why have many central banks and the Federal Reserve in particular pulled back from their usual tools (near zero rates and stimulus) at a time when investor faith in the economy is falling? Recently, WikiLeaks published a transcript of an internal International Monetary Fund (IMF) discussion that provides some answers. The general thrust of the document shows that the IMF deliberately set the stage for a return to instability in Greece this summer with the intention of destabilizing the EU, and more specifically cornering Germany. The goal? To essentially force the EU to allow the IMF to take a more commanding role in the economic affairs of the supranational body. Far too much attention is paid to the criminality of national central banks like the Federal Reserve, but the Federal Reserve is nothing more than a franchise, an appendage of a greater banking syndicate with the IMF, Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the World Bank leading the way. What many people do not seem to understand is that national central banks are expendable in the minds of globalists like those at the IMF. They are nothing but institutions on paper. Their true assets are unknown because they have never been audited. They can be destroyed or absorbed on a whim if globalists see greater gains as a result. The WikiLeaks documents support the assertions I wrote in my article, The Economic End Game Explained, that central banks, led by the IMF and the BIS, are deliberately creating instability in global markets in order to create a crisis large enough to substantiate total centralization of power in the hands of those same institutions. This should not be news to anyone, but unfortunately it is. Back in 2012 IMF head Christine Lagarde made this revealing statement: When the world around the IMF goes downhill, we thrive. We become extremely active because we lend money, we earn interest and charges and all the rest of it, and the institution does well. When the world goes well and weve had years of growth, as was the case back in 2006 and 2007, the IMF doesnt do so well both financially and otherwise. If the IMF is engineering a financial crisis in Europe in order to gain more power and influence, why wouldnt the Fed be doing the same for the IMF in America? The ONLY explanation that makes sense in terms of the Fed allowing an incremental removal of support from U.S. markets is that their GOAL is to create instability. The jawboning and exploitation of false hopes acts as a kind of steam valve, slowing the crash to a manageable pace. The loss of faith in central banks and their ability to support dying markets is indeed occurring. However, this is not the whole story. The fact is, the loss of faith is MEANT to happen, and it is useful to globalists at the IMF who now seek to replace hundreds of central bank franchises across the globe with a single governing entity overseeing the financial administration of the entire world. That is to say, the IMF is creating the problem so that they can offer themselves and their authority as a solution. Just as the international bankers use stimulus and rate policy as tools, so, to, do they use chaos. You can read more from Brandon Smith at his site Alt-Market.com.

Thriving, secondary-school, vocational trade programs trained for employment w/o requirements for additional education. Low-level services jobs are often grueling with ridiculous expectations. Ask a nursing home CNA about hours/ benefits. And the prison-industrial-complex rewards those who graduate, often after incarceration for victim-less crimes, with a lifetime of such marginal labor, via state restrictions. Having a survivable income should be within the reach of all of humanity. What happened to Respect for a persons labor? We are human beings. Did we allow ourselves to be willingly converted to Human Resources? Perhaps this inverted economic model needs to be re-hauled from the bottom up. Or it may be we need to completely ditch the whole system as it continually proves to fail. There are others means of trading, sharing access to resources. Bartering is only one example, volunteerism is another. Merely some humble thoughts fwiw. Absolutely, ditch central bankster hegemony. The biggest faults of the current system are due to the top-down structure = elite rule with a facade of representative govt. Iron Law of Politics is the observation that historically virtually all societies eventually fall under elite rule hence the need for absolute transparency, education, iron clad civil liberties, and constant vigilance. As long there are human beings involved in a system there will be problems, the bigger the system the more opaque and less resilient. Ironically, this a one of the ways intellectuals like Chomsky and Klein appear to have gone over to the dark side, they believe a scientific dictatorship (technocracy) will eliminate the irrational human factors. I agree that technocrats are the dark side because man is the one telling those machines what to do. Youre referring to AI software programmed by humans or transhumanism (human machine interfacing)? Technocracy is broader than that, its authoritarian rule by experts. Who can trust such experts? And worse, this system is being created for and by the same cabal (central bankers) who created the current system. Its 1984 and Brave New World writ large and its amazingly seductive dehumanizing. I stand corrected and thank you for clarifying it. 
1	Los Angeles residents are reportedly on edge today following reports that hundreds of armed and extremely dangerous Los Angeles Police Department officers are resuming regular patrolling duties after the conclusion of Tuesdays manhunt for rogue ex-cop Christopher Dorner. I mean, just knowing theyre out there is terrifyinghow can I feel safe when these maniacs are on the loose in my neighborhood? said a visibly rattled Ashley Stillson, 38, who explained that she strictly observed the citys advisory to avoid the historically violent, unpredictable predators by going out in groups and avoiding the streets entirely after nightfall. These guys are volatile and, in many cases, mentally unstable. Something needs to be done about them because I fear for my family knowing these sick people are still at large. At press time, sources reported the tense mood in L.A. had brightened considerably after news of a serial rapist diverted numerous LAPD officers to a sprawling manhunt in nearby San Bernardino. 
3	How Monsanto Annihilated A Paradise and Turned It Into An Island Of IllnessJoe Martino Although not enough study has been done to find out why the rates of illness, cancer, asthma and diabetes are suddenly rising greatly on the island, many believe the evidence is anecdotal and seen when you observe the people. Monsanto leased 1850 acres of land on the island of Molokai to grow their Bt corn crops. The very fact they are merely leasing the land already raises the question as to whether or not they know the land will become of low quality once they are finished with it. The Bt toxin Monsanto uses is engineered into corn to allow farmers easy control over pests without spraying as much pesticides. Only there seems to be growing evidence that this Bt toxin is a threat to human health. Although The State Health Department has stated they feel the farming practices are safe, nearby residents are not happy about whats going on and strongly feel Monsantos practices are causing harm and illness to those especially close to where Monsanto is spraying. Many in the area are beginning to do the research and are connecting the dots that the recent rise in illnesses is directly related to what Monsantos Bt toxin and Glyphosate has been known to cause. A report published by Thanal, an environmental organization based in Kerala, India, stated that Monsantos glyphosate causes both health and environmental issues. Something the WHO and other organizations have denied for years. [1] As the acute toxicity reflected in the WHO classification of glyphosate is low, it has long been promoted as safe. However, recent evidence shows substantial adverse health and environmental effects, especially of the formulated products Recent experiences and studies show a wide range of long-term adverse health effects, again mostly related to formulated products, such as leukemia and other cancers, skin diseases, and birth defects, gastrointestinal problems, and alterations to the central nervous system. Other findings link glyphosate and especially formulations with affecting embryo development, damage cells and DNA, and interrupting the hormone system. As more independent and integral studies take place, more evidence is piling up to show the dangers associated with GMOs. Even respected names such as David Suzuki has raised his concerns about GMOs claiming that humanity is part of a massive experiment when it comes to GMOs. Sayer Ji ofGreen Med Info also linked evidence between breast cancer and RoundUp, one of Monsantos most popular pesticides.[2] An alarming new study finds that glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup weedkiller, is estrogenic and drives breast cancer cell proliferation in the parts-per-trillion range. Whats happening in Molokai has happened in many other areas of the world and is not something that can continue if we want to have safe food and a healthy environment. GMO crops are being banned in many areas around the world but North America still lacks the political integrity to make the move. The annual March Against Monsanto is set to take place on May 24th, 2014. A tradition that has already done so much for raising awareness about GMOs and the dangers associated with them. Many believe the March Against Monsanto helped to stop the Monsanto Protection Act, a bill passed by Obama that would protect Monsanto from being able to be charged for any health or environmental damages they cause. Lets raise some awareness and continue to work to stop Monsanto. You can also begin by growing some of your own food! You dont even need a garden!

1	Upon returning to his apartment fresh off advancing to the NBA Finals, Kobe Bryant Puppet discovered his roommate and rival, Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James Puppet, lying dead in their bathtub. Los Angeles police officials stated there was no evidence of foul play, as the deep lacerations on James' felt wrists appeared to be self-inflicted. 'I knew he was upset about losing to the [Orlando] Magic, but I never thought he would do something like this,' the shocked and fabric-based representation of Bryant told reporters, his facial expression stoic and his eyes unblinking. 'Maybe I should have seen it coming. One minute LeBron was happy and covering the apartment with talcum powder, and the next he was playing video games and not wanting to be disturbed. Maybe it's my fault for putting my championship rings on display in our apartment.' The puppet LeBron is the fifth roommate of either the puppet or real-life Bryant to commit suicide. 
1	Thousands thronged the docks of the capital seaport last week to watch as Congressmen boarded galleys and set sail in search of the Lost Sword of Bipartisanship, a holy relic that according to legend has the power to restore collegial relations and procedural harmony to the legislative branch. Members of Congress, above, as they embark upon a journey from which many may never return. Initial reports from sea confirm the expedition has already faced dire peril in its quest, which was reportedly inspired by a 'radiant vision' of a sword that appeared before stunned senators and representatives in the Capitol rotunda a fortnight ago during negotiations over a minor wetlands preservation bill. 'I know in my bones this is a sign,' Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) was overheard saying as he fell to his knees, humbled by the hovering Sword's fabled embodiment of civil discourse, mutual respect, and practical, common sense. 'To see an apparition of this sacred talisman, which cuts through bickering and self-interest, is to see that we have strayed in our ways, and that only the Sword itself can point us toward the true path.' 'We must seek the sword at once,' said House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH), who, in a rare moment of alliance, knelt to join Reid in meek supplication. 'Though we do not know where it is, it may be the only thing that can save us.' Following several days of stalemates and inaction, Congress appropriated funds for a mighty fleet of ships and approved a motion to set sail, reportedly demurring at an offer of assistance from the U.S. Navy because the task of finding the Sword of Bipartisanship was 'theirs, and theirs alone' to bear. On Friday, messenger birds began to arrive with tidings of great adventure, but grim outcomes. One scroll recounts the demise of Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-HI), who died of exposure and malnutrition within sight of the shores of his beloved island home, while another tells tale of a giant ice floe that carried the entire House Ways and Means Committee into the Arctic night, never to be seen again. Dangling desperately by a lashing line, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) is said to have fallen into a churning maelstrom off the Horn of Africa while raging at the heavens and shouting, 'Fools! Fools! There is no Sword! There is no Bipartisanship! It's all a lie, and we all bound for Death!' 'One of the messages, burnt on the edges and smelling of brimstone, tells how they stopped on a remote island for provisions and were imprisoned by a mighty one-eyed monster who bellowed, 'But there's no way to pay for all this!'' Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told reporters from atop the Washington Monument, where she awaits the Congressmen's return, clad in widow's black burlap and gazing out to sea. 'They seem to have defeated this Cyclops, but of the coveted saber, there is no word.' 'And now I've received news that fishermen in Monterey Bay have found in their nets the bloated remains of Barney Frank,' Pelosi added. Tales sung by bards since time immemorial describe the Sword as a master blade forged at Lexington and Concord, broken during the Civil War, reforged by Abraham Lincoln, wielded by the imp Joe McCarthy until he was driven mad, used briefly at a Cleveland City Council meeting during a unanimous vote on a zoning variance, and then lost somewhere in the misty murk of Indochina. According to a raving, half-starved Senate page found Monday clinging to an oar in the Potomac River, a pack of seductive lobbyists attempted to lure Congress to their doom upon an island's rocky shoals, a disaster averted only when Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI) locked his colleagues belowdecks and navigated the fleet to safety himself. 'I warned them of the dangers they would face,' a mysterious and becloaked oracle known only as the Librarian of Congress told reporters. 'Those who seek the Sword of Bipartisanship must confront not only the terrors that dwell in the vasty deep, but those within their very hearts.' 'If that fails, the least they could do is sit down like grown-ups, have an open exchange of ideas, identify shared values, hold good-faith negotiations in which both sides make concessions, reach an agreement that a majority of them believes will advance the common good, and then vote on a goddamn bill,' he added. 
3	Ad Industry Claims It Must Disregard User Privacy Choices to Safeguard CybersecuritySenator Rockefeller dismisses cybersecurity claims as red herring At a hearing yesterday, the Senate Commerce Committee took up the issue of online tracking, the browser-based Do Not Track flag, and, in an unlikely turn of events, cybersecurity. The hearing included testimony from Ohio State University Law Schools Prof. Peter Swire, Mozillas Alex Fowler, the Association of National Advertisers Bob Liodice, and TechFreedoms Berin Szoka. While there were a number of heated moments in the hearing, the most surprising was the advertising industrys claim that respecting consumer choice will harm cybersecurity. This new argument from the advertising industry only raises more concerns for the civil liberties implications of online tracking and was, as Rockefeller aptly noted, little more than a red herring. Quick Recap: Whats Do Not Track and Whats at Stake Do Not Track is a signal that users can set in their browsers to tell websites they dont want their online web browsing tracked by companies with whom they have no relationship. Momentum for Do Not Track has been building over several years, inspired in part by high-profile privacy scandals as well as a comprehensive expose series by the Wall Street Journal showing that the nations 50 top websites on average installed 64 pieces of tracking technology onto the computers of visitors, usually with no warning. Do Not Track has beenendorsed by the FTC and is the cornerstone of legislation proposed by Senator Rockefeller. The Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), an advertising industry consortium, has adopted principles for online data collection that fall far short of Do Not Track. According to Prof. Swires written testimony, the exceptions in the 2011 DAA principles are so open-ended that I have not been able to discern any limits on collection under them. For example, he notes that the market research exemption includes research about consumers, which would seem to include keeping track of every click made by a consumer. The issue of cybersecurity arose when the advertising industrys Bob Liodice struggled under questioning from Senator Rockefeller. Abandoning the meme that the advertising industry was adequately self-regulating to assuage the privacy concerns of users, Liodice switched tactics and began to argue that widespread data collection about our everyday Internet browsing habits was necessary for cybersecurity. When asked whether this included issues such as online sexual predators and identity theft, Liodice agreed. Frankly, were puzzled by the purported connection between online behavioral tracking for advertising industry purposes and online sexual predators or ID theft. But Liodices argument raises a larger point. As a society, were currently grappling with the role we want our online service providers to play in policing our Internet activity. Whether its efforts to turn registrars into copyright police, asking ISPs to collect data on Internet users not accused of any crime, or letting companies share sensitive data with the government without a warrant, the digital age has raised a plethora of questions about the role of intermediaries working with the government. In yesterdays Senate hearing, we heard the advertising industry admit that their near-ubiquitous online tracking program is being used for issues that are the purview of law enforcement. That raises a host of questions all on its own, but one thing is certain: with these statements we have even more reason to stand up for a surveillance-free Internet. Senator Rockefeller was skeptical about the advertising industrys claims that they needed to engage in pervasive online tracking for cybersecurity purposes. In response to Liodices pronouncement, he stated: I just want to declare the whole cybersecurity matter a total red herring. We certainly agree that strong cybersecurity does not necessitate surveillance of our online browsing habits by unaccountable third parties. And its also important to note that theDNT compromise proposal that EFF, Stanford, and Mozilla submitted to the W3C creates a special exception for security and click-fraud. At the end of they day, strong cybersecurity is not antithetical to online privacy. In an open letter to Congress, prominent academics, experienced engineers, and cybersecurity professionals stated this unequivocally: We take security very seriously, but we fervently believe that strong computer and network security does not require Internet users to sacrifice their privacy and civil liberties. If youre worried about Congresss attempts to undermine our online privacy through misguided cybersecurity programs, please send them an email through our action centerasking them to safeguard our online privacy in the cybersecurity debates.

3	Twas the Night Raid Before ChristmasBy Reason TV 
3	Personal Observations Of Economic CollapseOp-Ed by Jeff Fitchett It is often said that its a recession when your neighbor loses his job, but its a depression when you lose your job. A collapse is often considered to be when a large percentage of the population becomes unemployed, underemployed, banks fail, government entitlement benefits are cut or reduced, systems that we rely on fail, fiat currency loses value and environmental degradation results in a large percentage of the population becoming displaced and not surviving. Many people are concerned with different aspects of collapse. For instance, our oceans are acidifying, fish stocks are collapsing and the carrying capacity of the ocean is degrading at an alarming pace. Debt and the broad-based global economy is unwinding at a scary rate. There is the real possibility in the near term that our entire global financial system could collapse. Geopolitical affairs are intensifying and there is a real risk of a new World War occurring. Our climate is changing and droughts are escalating. We are already seeing massive numbers of people starving because of the lack of food and water. The issues that I have highlighted above are being talked about and debated each and every day. There is a growing community of alternative media websites that discuss current affairs, prepping preparing, economic issues and so on. In this day in age we are lucky to be able to access information and see first hand what is transpiring in countries such as Venezuela that are currently experiencing collapse. We can learn from the Venezuelan population and make decisions today that will help us with our lives going forward. In Western nations, there are not many people who have experienced the seriousness of collapse. About 10 years ago a family member of mine, whom I am very close with, experienced what I would definitely classify as collapse. Witnessing it first hand impacted me beyond words and I feel emotional just thinking about it. The experience opened my eyes more than any article or documentary ever has. I remember like it was yesterday seeing his eyes. There was a darkness I had never seen before. His skin and hair changed color and looked a whitish grey color. The emotional damage he suffered was evident. I can only imagine the feeling of losing everything you have ever worked for. He was living in his foreclosed home without electricity, running water or his oil furnace working. He had hung blankets in the two doorways leading into the small den to keep the heat in. He heated that room with a fireplace. Northern Ontario in the winter is extremely cold. He had sold off most of his possessions at fire sale prices to have enough money for food. Eventually he was forced out of his house and had to rely on the government and a bit of help from me. I was in my twenties at the time and lived 4 hours away. I wish I could have done more to help. Now, he has bounced back and is happier than I have ever seen him. He told me not long ago that when you have everything, you worry about losing it, but when you have nothing, you no longer have anything to worry about losing. His life has been downsized considerably and his take on the world aligns with mine. He sees that our way of life is not sustainable and that the masses are in for a rude awakening. There is a permanent imprint in my mind of how my family member looked. I prepare because I know what a depression/collapse does to a person psychologically. My mind is already positioned for a way of life that does not include relying on employment income or the government supporting me. I am downsizing my existence and living a life of austerity, so to speak, in an effort to minimize the change that I know is coming. Interestingly, I feel more joy and happiness than one would think. I now pay attention, more than ever before, to the minute details in life. I notice a bee landing on a flower petal to collect pollen, the way snow collects on tree branches, the soil in my garden and the smiles on the faces of friends and family. Awakening has allowed me to see the world in a different light. I do not fear change or theunknown. I try to live my life to the fullest and I have the confidence to deal with whatever comes my way. One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

I also went through rough times, a motorcycle accident (broke every limb and then some.) had my wife divorce me at the same time taking my 3-year old son away. lost a job because I couldnt work. Lost a home (could not make the payment when you cant work.) I made a promise to myself I would never go in debt again, never trust another person to the point I did my then wife, and that I would never live beyond my needs. If I couldnt pay cash for it, I didnt buy it. That was 20-years ago and have kept every promise I made to myself. Today Im happier then I have ever been and have a good life, I also a life of austerity and it has worked out well. Im self-employed as a handyman, I have a pile of silver built up a few ounces per week for the last 3-years or so, to the point of hundreds of ounces in the safe. I have lots of food and preps, a cash reserve. Im starting to go off-grid and will expand that in the next year to not needing the utility companies at all. But since I live a simple debt-free life I dont feel the need at all to cash in the silver or even use the cash reserve. Ive learned to live without them and am quite content, I wake up every day with a smile. I think you are right in that making the adjustment now is much better then having it forced upon us if the economy hits the fan. The countries that are failing are considered third world by now because of communism/ socialism/radical islam. Half of South and Central America have fallen because of this. Half of Africa and the Middle East is failing because of an ideology similar to communism . radical islam. Until the UN actually grows some cojones and a back bone, these areas will continue to fester and decline into anarchy. Whats needed is something on the order of WWII action where a massive force overcomes the evil in World affairs and takes responsibility after wards to stabilize the war torn zone and persecutes those responsible. We must do whatever the Crusades failed to complete. If not, the World will decay into random mass murder of innocence that we are seeing today. Those that are not innocent are the problem. Remember Karl Marx, V. Lenin, J. Stalin, Mao, Ho, Castro, Che. and others. Then remember those that fought them. 
1	In a gala breakup featuring the town mayor and the Ellensburg High School marching band, Chris Schiffman was ceremoniously dumped Sunday by Vicki Arness, his girlfriend of three years. 'Ladies and gentlemen of Ellensburg, let the word go forth from this day that Vicki and Chris are no longer an item!' Mayor Robert Todd announced before 3,000 cheering attendees. 'Vicki has let it be known that she wishes to see other people, and see other people she shall!' The scissors-wielding mayor then officially declared the couple broken up by cutting an oversized photo of them in half. 
3	What Happens If Record Heat And Crippling Drought Cause Widespread Crop Failures Throughout The U.S?Michael Snyder, Contributor Record heat and crippling drought are absolutely devastating crops from coast to coast. Unfortunately, this unprecedented heat wave just continues to keep going and record high temperatures continue to scorch much of the central United States. In fact, more than 2,000 record high temperatures have been matched or broken in the past week alone. Not only that, but the lack of rainfall nationally has caused drought conditions from coast to coast. If temperatures continue to stay this high and we dont start seeing more rain, farmers and ranchers all over the nation are going to be absolutely devastated. So what happens if we do see widespread crop failures throughout the United States? That is a question that is frightening to think about. Right now is an absolutely crucial period for corn. It is time for pollination and rainfall is desperately needed. The following is from an article recently posted onagweb.com. With some parts of Indiana now nearing a month without significant rainfall and the critical pollination phase of corn either already started or about to begin, large crop losses appear likely for some farmers. The U.S. Department of Agriculture had been expecting a record corn harvest this year, but now the outlook is rapidly changing. The Department of Agriculture now says that22 percent of all U.S. corn fields are in poor condition, and that number could rise significantly unless current weather patterns change. Some growers are already reporting damage to corn, which is at a critical pollination stage. In some areas, the corn already has been damaged to the point that rain may not be enough to salvage the crop, Telvent DTN analyst John Sanow said. He and other analysts have lowered their yield estimates to an average of about 150 bushels per acre or less. That compares with the U.S. Agriculture Departments June estimate of 166 bushels per acre. Meanwhile, corn supplies are dropping at a rate not seen in many years. The following is from croplife.com. Corn supplies in the U.S. are declining at the fastest pace since 1996as a Midwest heat wave damages the worlds largest harvest for a thirdconsecutive year. Bloomberg News reports that stockpiles were probably 3.168 billion bushels (80.47 million metric tons) on June 1, 47% less than on March 1 So what does all of this mean?It means that food prices are going to rise.Over the last month, the price of corn is up about 27 percent. The price of wheat is also soaring. The price of September wheat is up about 26 percent since the beginning of June. So is there hope that things can be turned around? Unfortunately, things look quite bleak at this point. According to the Washington Post, the outlook for the rest of the growing season is very ominous. Based on the drought outlook, the potential for further degradation is very high, and the potential to reach exceptional levels of drought where there are major crop failures is very high, said Matthew Rosencrans, a Weather Service meteorologist. The climate signals we are looking at right now dont correlate with wetness in that region. Jay Armstrong, owner and operator of Armstong Farms in Kansas, flew his small plane over a portion of the affected area and landed with the impression that the potential damage is far worse than is commonly understood. At this time of year, when you look down in a place like Indiana or Illinois, you should see just lush green fields, Armstrong said. I saw bare soil. I just thought to myself, the market has no idea whats coming. Those are frightening words. Nobody wants to hear about the possibility of major crop failures or that the market has no ideas whats coming. Ranchers are being absolutely devastated by this hot, dry weather as well. The following comes from a comment that was posted on one of my recent articles by a reader identified as Cinderella Man who works in the business. As of 6/27/12 at the Torrington WY auction 2,248 head sold in one day. Usually only a couple hundred sell at a time. Whats happening is the ranchers are trying to sell when the price is high, and they know that hay is going to be expensive in the fall. We already see ranchers from WY coming up here looking for hay.Let me put it to you this way: Last night I went with my Dad to his hayfield and he said he would be lucky if he got a third of the hay he got last year! Second I work in the feed and mineral supply business and I have seen grain feed sales through the roof. Same goes for mineral and lactation supplements. The other day a Hutterite colony bought 25 tons of grain distillers to feed their sheep. Everywhere south of us is dry and we are catching up. People are scrambling to find corn and my elevator is one of the last places that have it. Going back to the minerals and supplements the cows are on poor grass and they have baby calves to feed. They go dry and cant produce milk for them so a rancher has to buy minerals and supplements to get the mama cow to produce milk. Sales have been soaring. You add it all up and you can only come up with the conclusion that we are in SERIOUS TROUBLE this year and I dont know how small producers like my family are going to weather this. All I can say is the ones who were in glee at Texass plight last year and crying in their beers right now. If this continues, we wont just see corn and wheat become much more expensive. We will also see the price of meat go through the roof as well. This is not welcome news at a time when the economy is already in really bad shapeand millions of families are barely making it from month to month. So what do you think about all of this? Do you live in an area of the country that has been affected by this weather? What do you think will happen if we see widespread crop failures throughout the United States?

2	Obama: Our Future Rests On The Success Of People Brought To The U.S. Illegally According to President Obama, Americas future rests on the success of children who have been brought into the United States illegally. He also appointed out that these children would qualify for citizenship if the DREAM Act were passed. About 30 to 40 percent of the kids in this school, by the way, are DREAM kids, Obama told reporters, You wouldnt know it looking at them, because they are as American as apple pie. But every single one of these kids, you might not be able to tell the difference, but a whole bunch of themtheyre worried about whether or not theyre going to be able to finance their college education of their immigrant status. Theyre worried about whether, in fact, this country that they love so deeply loves them back and understands that our future rests on their success. Why wouldnt we want to give them that certainty that you are part of the fabric of this nation, were counting on you, and were going to make sure you succeed? Why wouldnt we want to do that? Obama went on to say, Looking out as I was speaking to them and then shaking their hands, and giving them hugs and high-fives and all the things that kids do on a graduation, I thought to myself: How could we not want to invest in these kids? Joe Biden piped in but claiming that increasing immigration would boost the economy, although he extended the argument beyond the DREAM Act Kids. We need it badly from a purelypurely economic point of view, Biden claimed. 
1	According to Pittsburgh-area TV viewer Erik Allen, either Monday's Tonight Show With Jay Leno was a repeat or P. Diddy got arrested again. 'Jay's monologue had all these jokes about P. Diddy getting busted for some kind of gun possession,' Allen said. 'I hadn't really heard anything about another arrest, so I figured it was a rerun. But that was, like, more than a year ago, right? Plus, I think he was still Puff Daddy back then, and Jay called him P. Diddy.' Allen said he had hoped to gain insight from Leno's interviews with guests Lisa Kudrow and zookeeper Jack Hanna, but 'neither seemed to be plugging anything all that time-specific.' 
2	Justin Bieber Will Be Deported Following His Arrest For Assaulting Selena Gomez On August 29, pop star and teen sensation Justin Bieber was arrested for assault, during a date with actress and singer Selena Gomez. While the details of the incident remain unclear, we do know that the incident involved a drive on an all terrain vehicle, and an occupant in a minivan. According to reports, an altercation occurred between the two. Just a few days after the event, Gomez posted a video of herself riding an ATV on her Instagram. Bieber was arrested following the altercation, and was charged with dangerous driving. He is required to appear at court proceedings surrounding the incident on September 29. Biebers legal team released a statement following the incident, claiming that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez peaceful retreat in Stratford this weekend was unfortunately disrupted by the unwelcome presence of paparazzi. This is not the first time Bieber has found himself arrested this year. 
2	You Wont Believe What Major Political Figure Was Just Exposed As A Muslim, And Her Plans For... According to recent reports, it has just been revealed that Senior Advisor to the President, Valerie Jarrett, is actually a Muslim. I am Iranian by birth and of my Islamic faith. I am also an American Citizen and I seek to help change America to be a more Islamic country, Jarrett wrote in 1977, when she was attending Stanford University. My faith guides me and I feel like it is going well in the transition of using freedom of religion in America against itself. Jarrett is also the Assistant to Obama for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs. She has a staff of around three-dozen and is protected by the Secret Service full time. What do you think? Does this explain a lot about President Obama?

They were infiltrating an Islamic State prison in Iraq. 70 hostages were freed in this raid. Unfortunately, Delta Force commando Master Sgt. Joshua Wheeler was a casualty. The White House still will not call this a combat mission. Wheeler was the first American to be shot and killed in Iraq since 2011. 30 troops were involved in this heroic mission. Make sure to watch the action below. Do you think it was the right thing to do for America to free these hostages? 
1	Saying they just need to relax after a 'grueling' nine months of watching television, Americans across the nation are reportedly using the summer to recuperate before they take on the demanding responsibility of 2012's fall programming lineup. U.S. residents said that because the upcoming television season will require long hours of tireless viewing that will keep them up until 11 p.m. most nights, they plan on taking the next three months off so they can start fresh in September. 'Between Game Of Thrones, a new season of Mad Men, and the final season of House, not to mention dozens of sitcoms and reality shows, this year's been a real grind,' 38-year-old Omaha, NE resident William Bell said Sunday, adding that if he's going to do a good job watching television this fall, he needs to just zone out this summer. 'I'll worry about how I'm going to watch the newest episode of Castle while simultaneously playing catch up with Hawaii Five-0 later. But right now, I'm going to kick back, relax, and think about nothing for a while.' 'I'm definitely going to sleep,' Bell added. 'A lot.' Americans said that in order to fulfill their television-watching duties to the best of their abilities, they're going to need 12 weeks of vegging out on the couch and not concerning themselves with which show is on next or how many unwatched programs are building up on their DVRs. Moreover, the U.S. populace told reporters it's better in the long run to use the summer to take it easy and rest, because once the new season begins there can be no breaks or vacations. 'I'm going to come back ready to put everythingabsolutely everythinginto watching television, but right now I need this,' said Fairfax, VA resident Ben Nichols, who, after viewing the season finale of Modern Family, made plans to lay back in a comfortable chair for a few weeks, eat junk food, and 'clear [his] head.' 'Actually, no. I deserve it.' According to a recent Gallup poll, 35 percent of Americans are just going to take it 'super easy' so they can come back to television re-energized and ready to go; 20 percent said that if they don't take a break now, they'll more than likely burn out by the time midseason replacements begin airing; and 45 percent aren't planning to even look at a television for the next three months, unless a show they want to watch is on. Amanda Wurster, a physical therapist in San Francisco, said she was looking forward to lounging around and spacing out after months of staying up late every night to finish watching television shows. 'It can get pretty tough, especially if you push yourself too hard,' Wurster, 32, said of watching television. 'You think it will only be four hours a day, but because you feel an obligation to go the extra mile by reading reviews of all the shows, watching behind-the-scenes clips about the making of certain episodes, and downloading special online-only webisodes, that four hours turns into eight, and eight turns into 12, and then just like that you're behind.' 'It'll be great not to have to come home from work and immediately turn on the TV,' Wurster added. 'I was so busy during sweeps I barely saw my boyfriend.' While a majority of citizens told reporters they would take advantage of the break, others said that to remain sharp they plan to double-down on their television watching, either by viewing repeat episodes or watching DVDs of old programs such as M*A*S*H or Night Court. 'Yes, I'm exhausted, but if I take three months off, I'll just be rusty come September, and personally, I feel you need to be hitting on all cylinders right from the beginning,' Dearborn, MI resident George Carol, 43, said. 'If I don't maintain that intense, day-in-day-out schedule, I know I'll slip. And then there'll be a new episode of Fringe on and instead of really watching it, I'll just sort of sit in front of my TV and go through the motions.' Added Carol, Id really hate for season premieres to start and feel like I havent given myself the best possible chance to be successful. 
2	Top Military Generals Fight Back After Obama Makes Threats Against Them Obama has repeatedly demonstrated that he will not make time for anyone who gets in the way of him fulfilling his own personal and political agenda. Now, one U.S. General has come forward to confirm that many Generals have been censored by the president. The confession came to the surface during a Fox News interview, where Retired Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin explained the poor communication between Obamas administration and the Pentagon. Referring specifically to ISIS, Boykin explained that Obama has made it his mission to make sure that U.S. Generals are unable to tell the whole story. I don t think theres any question that the Pentagon is at odds with the administration at this point, Boykin claimed. Look, when the chairman of the Joint Chiefs makes a statement on Thursday and then backtracks on Sunday from what he said, its a clear indication that hes been given some instructions from the White House to modify what he said. What do you think of Boykins claims? Are you sick of Obama abusing his position at the cost of the American people? 
3	Instagram Joins Trend of Social Media SurveillanceBy Joe Wright Pattern recognition is at the heart of data mining for both public organizations and private companies. The Feds tried to get Congress to sign on to required reporting of suspicious activity in social media with the Intelligence Authorization Act of 2016, but that provision was ultimately rejected. However, the voluntary two-way data stream inherently provided by social media is proving to be irresistible for monitoring bad behavior. A number of university press releases have revealed what type of research is ongoing, always to counter some perceived threat to society at large. After news of Ebola began terrorizing the planet, Virginia University announced a program called ChatterGrabber which was developed to detect public health risks. However, it was apparently designed to do much more than that, and only used the dread of contracting Ebola as the ultimate way to get people sympathetic to the idea: ChatterGrabber has also been used to monitor tickborne diseases, such as Lyme disease, public sentiment involving vaccines, and gun violence and terrorism, serving as an early warning system for public health officials through suspicious tweets or conversations. (emphasis added) [Source] MIT followed suit shortly thereafter by announcing that Twitter would permit access to all of its tweets beginning in 2006 in a search for how social movements take place. Reddit was also mentioned as slated for the same. But it was Facebook that caused the most outrage thus far with its Truthy experiment that went directly into harvesting political data to manipulate the spread of information in a mass psychological experiment on its users. With that backdrop, any seemingly benign protective measure that uses the same technology mentioned above must be called into question. The University of Rochesters full press release is posted below, emphasis added. Instagram could offer a novel way of monitoring the drinking habits of teenagers. Using photos and text from Instagram, a team of researchers from the University of Rochester has shown that this data can not only expose patterns of underage drinking more cheaply and faster than conventional surveys, but also find new patterns, such as what alcohol brands or types are favored by different demographic groups. The researchers say they hope exposing these patterns could help develop effective intervention. Instagram is very popular among teenagers and it offers large amounts of information about this target population in the form of photos and text. As Jiebo Luo, professor of computer science at the University of Rochester, and his colleagues describe in a new paper, underage drinkers are willing to share their alcohol consumption experience in social media. Studying the social media behavior of this group allows the researchers to observe it passively in an undisturbed state. They are presenting their work this week at the 2015 IEEE International Conference on Big Data in Santa Clara, California. An example of the disadvantages of traditional methods for monitoring underage alcohol consumption is that teenagers might not be honest when they respond to an administered survey about alcohol use, e.g., the Monitoring the Future survey by the federal government. Also, those that choose to respond to such a survey might not be a representative sample and the sample size might be too small to draw conclusions. Instagram does not offer a way of selecting users by age, but the research team was able to select users that fit the profile they were looking for by applying computer vision techniques. Luo and his team have been pioneering techniques that teach computers to extract information from images on the Internet (some examples are found here and here), something that is much more complex than just extracting information from text. They were able to use computers to analyze the profile faces of Instagram users to get sufficiently accurate guesses for their age, gender, and race. Having selected a group of underage users to study, the researchers monitored drinking related activities via their Instagram photos by analyzing the social media tags associated with these photos using a constructed Internet slang dictionary and also any alcohol brands the users follow. In their study, the researchers found that underage alcohol consumption, like with adults, happens more on weekends and holidays and at the end of the day. There also wasnt a strong bias toward one gender for alcohol consumption it matched the gender ratio of Instagram users. The researchers did find that different alcohol brands are followed in varying degrees by teenagers, and that different genders follow different brands. The researchers highlight that this could point out brands that are attracting younger audiences in social media, information that could be useful to people working with underage drinkers. There are several ways we can go about doing that, said Luo. We can keep government agencies or schools better informed and help them design interventions. We could also use social media to incorporate targeted intervention and to measure the effect of any intervention. And perhaps other things we havent thought about. The researchers acknowledge, however, that research like this could also be used by brands to target their products to those users most likely to follow them. Luo explained that an important next step is to check the results of their approach with surveys, to ensure their methodology is robust before applying it to extract even more information from Instagram. They hope to collaborate with people working on addressing other youth problems, such as tobacco, drugs, teen pregnancy, stress or depression. This new method could be a useful complement to more traditional methods of measuring youth drinking, said Elizabeth Handley, clinical psychologist and research associate at the Universitys Mount Hope Family Center. It could provide important new insights into the contexts of youth drinking and be a valuable tool for evaluating the effectiveness of school or community-based preventive interventions. Luos coauthors on the paper are Ran Pang, Agustin Baretto, and Professor Henry Kautz, all from the University of Rochester. Source The repeated use of the term intervention is what should sound alarms the loudest; not only are they collecting data, but they intend to take action based upon what they find. Yes, we are largely dealing with minors who have not been granted the complete rights of adults, but this same language has been used in predictive mental health algorithms designed to do the exact same things for all ages. And, as we should have learned by now, loose definitions and loose interpretations have led to repeated abuses in a world that seemingly has gone full paranoid about all potential threats. Do you feel that this technology is a legitimate solution for this specific issue, or is it destined to take us one more step down the slippery slope? Image Credit Joe Wrights articles can be found on selfnewsPost.com Lame website you have to approve every little thing you suck you pc lovers What the anti-gun rights crowd refuses to see and understand, is that regardless of any background checks, it is about impossible to enforce many of these laws, and the black market always grows, not weakens, when any laws get too restrictive. Once they manage to outlaw guns then only Law Abiding Citizens wont have them. Sure, but well get them via the underground anyway! Except not everyone who needs will be able to afford them. All the more reason to never allow them to confiscate any in the first place. Support your national and state level gun rights groups. even if you dont care for the NRA, there are other good organizations fighting on the same front for us. Im a member of the NRA. You sound like a looser chess master who says they will ever get the chance to outlaw guns. An outlaw never gives up his guns. He fights for his right. I have no idea where you think youre coming from with your comment and why is it you feel you must begin your comment with an insult when you dont know anything about me. Yes and just as has been said many times before, If laws will keep guns off the street, we should make cocaine, marijuana and heroin illegal The Government federal, State, and Local have no authority to make any law or restriction against the Citizen owning a Gun, unless that person is mentally Ill, then they should already be in an institution for the ill, under supervision. The Constitution and the 2nd Amendment gives us the right to own a Gun or many Guns. It is the same for religion, the Government has no authority to restrict any citizen from having a Belief and praying anywhere they choose. or making any law or rule that restrict that right. Public or private. Have you been watching the TV channel called AHC on Cable ? They have been running pictures after Pictures of how Hitler Took over Germany, step by step, until they took away all Guns except the Government Military. and then started to kill off all who were against them. and it shows how one becomes a Dictator in a few easy steps, It reminded me of Obama and the way he has been doing since he took office back in 2009, the people were surely deceived by him right from the beginning . has nothing to do with anything good for americans.only more spying and treason by the liberal communist scum Yes it is , and its time to impeach him . Lets see if we can find those with the Guts to do so. Yes it is treason, along with anyone that aided him in his treasonous act. I dont use this crap anyway; its for yuppies and kids. yes, pretty much any communication today is potentially being spied on. Time to go back to simply writing letters and mailing them! Says the guy using it.are you related to Hilary? Ive never used Instagram, or most of the other crap. There are some sites that will only allow you to post via Facebook, but thats all I ever use. Doesnt mean I like everything about the format. And I cant stand Killary; she should be in a Federal Pen already! And you know farcebook bought instagram awhile back when they found out teens were leaving it in droves in favor of instagram, right? I understand They read your letters also. They can hear your voice from more than a block away. I seriously doubt theyre reading every piece of mail out there. Now youre being paranoid. They do have technology to listen in from a block away or so, but I dont worry about that much. I am overall, a good citizen. I dont doubt that you are a good citizen, in your opinion, but what about their opinion? They have been reading the mail for over a century now, but it is still labor intensive. You are correct about being labor intensive. I am not worried too much, though I against many of the tenets in the so called Patriot Act, and all of the illegal, Constitution violating spying on us that is going on. If they truly suspect someone of being a dangerous terrorist, etc., then they simply need to get, and should obtain a warrant to do so. We seem to be in agreement about most, if not all, things. As far as a warrant, they do not need one to get your electronic data. They can just ask Microsoft for it and it will be given to them. There is nothing we can do about it as we entered into a contract with Microsoft surrendering our rights in the service agreements. It has already been to court and is settled. How ever as far as a letter is concerned I am cautious about what I write down, just as I sometimes leave out what I may really think in a post. From your posts I would gather that you are one of the ones that realize we no longer have a two party system, but only one party that plays a game of charade with us. If we had two parties we would not have Obama for president and McCain would not have been a candidate. Good post DanielAllison; I concur. Its sad that our nation is on so many bad roads right now, and heading in some dangerous directions though. I have little faith in 95% of politicians, but what scares me more than anything, is the fact that much of our current voting populace seem to know nothing about history, or simple economics; their voting record is showing me how dumbed down many millions of voters have become. I dont have any kids, and Am in my mid-fifties, but I have 3 nephews, and I am scared for their futures down the road. We cannot continue on the paths we are on now, as a nation. If we do so, its only a matter of time before the entire machine just collapses, especially with the massive debt piled upon us, by the thieves residing and working in Washington. Have a good night And yet only the smart people use all those various types of social media. Funny.. Just ask them. Old news I think its good they are watching everyone. Maybe they will learn something. Primarily, dont think anyone can go toe to toe with 80 Million Armed American Patriot.anyone who tries would lose and just create a big mess. Keep in mind China only has 2 million armed troops and they are the largest. An invasion would be hopeless. They can however take us down by foreclosure of personal assets. THAT is who our people need to be worried about, not American Citizens. so what ? get an ear full . I care less. Idiot You sound like a Liberal who has no answer , so you end with name calling . smart. I had a bowel movement, I thought you Communists should know When youre done with it, let us know how it tasted. FACEBOOK TWITTER and others are just an open page for everyone to read . //////////////////////////// Obama is going to have to keep Guantanamo open so his SECRET POLICE, DHS, will have a place to put all of his political prisoners that the DOJ will find for him. Hail Dictator Obama, no that is Heil Obama. Good, I hope they read what i think of this administration! This is absolutely a violation of the right to privacy, guaranteed in the Constitution. Parents are the only ones who have any reason at all, to spy on their kids, because they are ultimately responsible for what their kids do. This is just another slide on the slippery slope of becoming a police state. QUESTIONS THE NEWS MEDIA NEED TO FIND OUT ABOUT. IS TRUMP THE MOST QUALIFIED PERSON TO RUN THIS COUNTRY? I THINK SO. IS OBAMA PLANNING AN INVASION WITH HIS MUSLIM COMRADS NEXT ARE THERE 35 MUSLIM TRANING CAMPS HERE IN THE USA ONE WHY DID OUR GOVERNMENT TRY AND BUY UP ALL AMMUNITION WITH WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF AN INVASION HAPPENS? WOULD THERE BE A NEW PRESIDENT? WHY IS OUR GOVERNMENT TRYING TO TAKE OUR GUNS? WOULD IT NOT BE BETTER IF EVERY PERSON HAD A WHY IS OUR GOVERNMEN TO BRINGING IN 250 THOUSAND YOUNG WHY DID OUR GOVERNMENT STOP THE PLANE TANK SHIPMENTS WHY DID OUR GOVERNMENT GIVE 5 TOP TERRIOST FOR ONE TRAITOR? DID YOU BELIEVE OBAMA WHEN HE SAID ON NATION WIDE TV THAT HE DO YOU BELIEVE OBAMA TO BE BLACK? HIS MOTHER WAS WHITE, HIS DAD A NORTH AFRICA DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THIS GOVERNMENT HAS FORCED ISRAEL TO WHY HAS BLACKS TURNED AGAINST THE PARTY THAT FREED WHAT IS THE TRUE REASON RUSSIA IS GATHERING A ARMY THERE, DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE DEMOCRAT PARTY STARTED THE KKK? THEY DID. COULD YOU TAKE 50 ARMED MEN AND TAKE OVER A UNARMED MILITARY I ASK YOU TO ANALYZE THESE QUESTIONS AND MAKE UP YOUR MIND The rise of the Thought Police is at hand. Soon you will be arrested before you commit a crime. How do you defend yourself from that accusation? 
3	Questioning the Turkish CoupBy Devon Douglas-Bowers 1. According to Reuters, pro-coup planes had Erdogans presidential plane in their sights, but didnt shoot him down. Specifically Reuters reported that At the height of the attempt to overthrow Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, the rebel pilots of two F-16 fighter jets had Erdogans plane in their sights. And yet he was able to fly on and quoted a Turkish military official as saying At least two F-16s harassed Erdogans plane while it was in the air and en route to Istanbul. They locked their radars on his plane and on two other F-16s protecting him.[1] Why would you have the president in your sights, are locked on to him, and not shoot? If this is a serious coup attempt, one of the first things that is done is the capture or killing of a leader. 2. It was reported on July 17, 2016 that due to the attempted coup, a little over 2,700 judges were dismissed along with several members of the council itself.[2] Thats a large amount of judges and it seems rather strange to have the coup first be reported on July 16, 2016[3] and literally the day after suddenly have over 2,000 judges that you want dismissed. This is further backed up by EU commissioner Johannes Hahn, who is dealing with Turkeys EU membership bid. He has said that the swift rounding up of judges and others indicates that the lists were made beforehand.[4] 3. The coup plotters had no media presence and did a horrible job of shutting down communications and promoting their own agenda via television and the Internet. Thats a special kind of incompetence. 4. This is not the first time a coup has been attempted against Erodgan. There was an alleged attempt back in 2010[5] which Erdogan responded to by pushing constitutional changes, some of which involved the military. Specifically, Articles 145, 156, and 157 made it so that Crimes against state security and the constitutional order allegedly committed by military personnel would not be tried in military courts but in civilian courts. This actually worked to Erdogans advantage as Articles 146, 147, 148, 149 made changes to the Constitutional Courts so that Parliament, the president and the Higher Education Council would nominate judges to the court and Top generals will be tried for offences related to their duties by the Constitutional Court.[6] So, due to Erdogan and his Justice and Development (AKP) Party controlling Parliament at that time (and currently have majority rule today due to winning elections in 2015[7]), the judges on the Constitutional Courts would be hand-picked by the President and his party allies and thus could very well hand out rulings that would harshly punish any those military officials who plotted a coup or engaged in a coup attempt. Now, the President has tried to push the blame onto Fethullah Gulen, who is in a self-imposed exile, having left Turkey for the US in 1990 during increased legal action against Islamists. Gulen heads the Hizmet movement, a moderate, pro-Western brand of Sunni Islam that appeals to many well-educated and professional Turks[8] and has established a number of NGOs that are credited with helping to address a number of Turkeys social problems. In the recent past, there been strife in Turkey between the Gulenists and Erdogan supporters within the state bureaucracy. In late 2013, law-enforcement and judicial officials thought to be loyal to Mr. Gulen went on an anti-corruption drive against people close to Mr. Erdogan, targeting one of his sons as well as several ministers, but the very next year, Erdogan struck back hard, purging thousands of police officials, prosecutors and judges suspected to be linked to Mr. Gulen.[9] So, there is some basis for there to be suspicion of him. However, only ten percent of Turkeys population, or about 7.5 million people[10], are supporters of Gulen. It should also be noted that this was a military coup and the military has historically been an enforcer of secular rule.[11] Thus, it is rather questionable if the Gulenists are behind the attempted coup. A coup attempt would aid Erdogan, who has been moving for quite some time to consolidate his own power[12] amid recent low popularity[13], as it would allow him to gain even more power and maintain his control on the state. More information is still coming out and at the end of the day, only time will tell if the coup was a false flag or not; however, it would be wise to remain skeptical of what is coming from the Turkish government and to keep an ear to the ground.

1	Players on both the anemic Kansas City Chiefs offense and the porous Cincinnati Bengals defense celebrated with high-fives, hugs, and minor victory dances when the Bengals managed to stop a rare positive gain by the Chiefs running game during the first quarter of Sunday's game at Arrowhead Stadium. 'Getting almost two feet more than their league worst 3.1 yards-per-carry average could be a huge momentum builder for the Chiefs,' said CBS announcer Rich Gannon, who had initially expected Chiefs running back Larry Johnson to slip and fall down behind the line of scrimmage, run straight into his blockers, or fumble while the Bengals linebackers either attempted weak arm tackles or overran the play completely. 'Still, you really have to like what the Bengals did on that play by allowing only a few yards before tackling the runner. Both of these teams are really setting the tone right now.' Gannon added that he didn't know how long these two teams could continue to play over their heads and execute at such an average level. 
2	BREAKING: Senate Sweeps Carpet From Under Obamas Feet... This Is His Nightmare Barack Obamas buddies in Congress have promised to do everything in their power to stop Obamacare for being repealed by the Trump administrationeven if it means using a filibuster in the Senate. So they were probably disappointed this week when they learned that a repeal of Obamas legislation was being attached to a bill that could not be filibustered. According to Conservative Tribune, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has promised to act on a draft 2017 budget resolution that would repeal Obamacare. It will be brought to the Senate floor next week after amendments are voting on. Budget resolutions are treated differently than other bills when it comes to Senate voting. In order to pass, it just needs a simple majorityallowing it to get to the House of Representatives filibuster-free. Were sure Obama is furious about this, but not even he can deny what a failure Obamacare has been. Many of Americans have been struggling to afford The Affordable Care Actand those that can are frustrated with the lack of choices for plans or doctors. What do you think? Are you happy to see Obamacare go once and for all?

3	Federal Reserve Blows More BubblesDr. Ron Paul The Fed affirmed that it is prepared to increase its monthly purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities if things dont start looking up. But actually the Fed has already been buying more than the announced $85 billion per month. Between February and March, the Feds securities holdings increased $95 billion. From March to April, they increased $100 billion. In all, the Fed has pumped more than a half trillion dollars into the economy since announcing its latest round of quantitative easing (QE3) in September 2012. Although many were up in arms when the Fed said it would buy $600 billion in government debt outright for the previous round, QE2, all seems quiet about the magnitude of QE3 because it doesnt come with huge up-front total price tag. But by years end the Feds balance sheet could hit $4 trillion. With no recovery in sight, wheres all this money going? It is creating bubbles. Bubbles in the housing sector, the stock market, and government debt. The national debt is fast approaching $17 trillion, with the Fed monetizing most of the newly issued debt. The stock market has been hitting record highs for the past two months as investors seek to capitalize on the Feds easy money. After all, as long as the Fed keeps the spigot open, nominal profits are there for the taking. But this is a house of cards. Eventually, just like in 2008-2009, the market will discipline the bad actions of the Fed and seek to find the real normal. We are certainly not in a recovery. We dont see the long unemployment and soup kitchen lines like in the Great Depression, but thats just because the lines are electronic now. It is not surprising the Fed has decided to hand the American people more of the same failed policies. But it is disappointing. We know what the real solution is: allow the marketplace to work. Allow entrepreneurs the chance to create instead of stifling innovation with arbitrary regulations. Allow interest rates to rise to equal the risks in the economy. Allow bad debts to be liquidated so we can build on a firm foundation. Stop printing money to benefit the government and big banks. Restore sound money to the economy and the American people. Sound money is the bedrock for prosperity and the best check on big government and crony capitalism.

1	Mounting evidence in the murder case of Roy Bannister, the 27-year-old X-Files fan whose body was found beaten beyond recognition in his home Sunday, strongly suggests that he was killed for 'knowing too much' about the long-running Fox series, investigators said Tuesday. Murdered <I>X-Files </I>fan Troy Bannister at a July 1999 science-fiction convention. 'He knew everything about that showwho was conspiring with whom, where the bodies were buried, the latest top-secret plot developmentseverything,' said detective Nathan Tillinghast of the Eugene police department. 'And he was willing to spill his guts to the first sucker who asked him. It was practically all he ever talked about. All the evidence we've collected points to someone wanting to shut him up.' The victim's friends agreed. 'Roy would get started on Scully's alien implant, or the Cancer Man's paternal fascination with Mulder, and he'd just talk about it for hours,' said Albert Hashimoto, the night manager of the 7-11 convenience store where Bannister was last seen alive. 'Finally, I had to tell him, 'Look, Roy, I'm your friend, but if you keep talking about this show constantly, somebody's gonna want to kill you.' Roy's sister, Julia Bannister, said she pleaded with him repeatedly to give up his dangerous obsession before it was too late. 'If I told him once, I told him a million times: 'Roy, shut the hell up about the goddamn stupid X-Files. It's just not cool. And it's not even all that popular anymore,' Julia told police. 'But he wouldn't keep quiet, and now somebody's silenced him for good.' 'Roy would corner people at parties and just totally go off on all this sci-fi stuff,' said close friend Rob Settles, who was 'deeply disturbed' by Bannister's insistence that aliens, working closely with secret factions deep within the U.S. government, were the most important thing on television. 'We were always afraid that one day he'd talk to the wrong person. And he did.' 'There's no doubt that Roy knew a lot more about The X-Files than was healthy for a person,' said Tillinghast, who now faces the grim task of sifting through more than 150 separate pieces of X-Files-related evidence from Bannister's efficiency apartment, including videotaped episodes, fanzines, magazine articles, and nitpicker's guides to all eight seasons. 'Believe me when I say there's information in that apartment that no man should know.' Police are still without a prime suspect, estimating that it will take months to go through the long list of people who may have had an interest in keeping Bannister quiet. 'At this point, we've narrowed it down to everyone who'd ever talked to him for more than five minutes,' Tillinghast said. 'But since there have been no follow-up crimes, I guess we can at least breathe a little easier and assume that whatever Bannister knew died with him. Thank God.'

1	LOS ANGELESMore than 50 animal-rights activists picketed outside the gates of 20th Century Fox studios Monday to protest the fact that hundreds of animals were harmed by craft services on the set of Mel Gibson's Night Of The Desert Rose. 'Nearly 400 chickens, 14 steer, and thousands of shrimp were viciously killed in the making of this movie,' protester and PETA member Jacqueline Zimmer said. 'And these weren't dignified deaths. Some of these animals were deboned and had their skin ripped off before being fileted, sauted, and placed atop a bed of so-so rice.' Cinemeals, Inc. issued a statement that read in part, 'Although we regret the need to kill animals, sometimes sacrifices must be made in the service of voraciousness.' 
2	Americans May Soon Be Forced To Pay For Illegal Immigrants Attorneys According to recent reports, Democratic Representative Zoe Lofgren has been calling for Congress to order that American taxpayers be held responsible for paying for each illegal migrant child to be represented in court. Lofgren used Twitter to voice her frustrations, attempting to guilt citizens into paying for illegal immigrants so that they can practice their rights. Most get a hearing and/or interview with asylum officer where they can make claim of persecution and trafficking #AskDems, Lofgren tweeted on July 15. We must work to make sure every child as legal representation in this process #AskDems, she added. What do you think? Is it fair to put this responsibility on American citizens or are our taxpayer dollars better spent elsewhere?

1	With drought conditions approaching critical levels in the Deep South, Great Plains, and Southwest, Congress allocated some major moolah toward relief efforts in the afflicted regions Monday. Dennis Hastert announces the allocation of some major scratch (left) to U.S. farmers. The federal-aid package, all 14.8 billion samoleans of it, will be allocated in the form of emergency irrigation, crop subsidies, and long-term low-interest loans to farmers living in counties declared agricultural disaster areas. 'Ka-ching!' Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R-IL) told reporters, cranking his right arm in imitation of an old-time cash register. 'The American farmer may be suffering through some of the worst drought conditions of the last half-century, but thanks to this much-needed aid, he'll soon be swimmin' in some serious smackeroos. Those living in the hardest-hit areas should find their wallets fatter to the tune of a cool hundred Gs per farmer.' Wheelbarrow of money. 'And brother,' continued Hastert, winking and elbowing reporters, 'that ain't hay.' Congress' decision to give up the cheddar comes in the wake of near-record temperatures throughout much of the nation, with parts of Texas and New Mexico averaging 110 degrees since July. As wildfires continued to spread across the Rocky Mountain region and the prospect of drought-related food-price hikes loomed, legislators unanimously approved a chunk of relief change that would choke a goat. Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-MS) fans out a fat stack of federal disaster relief. 'Oh, yeah,' Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) said. 'Mmm-hmmm. Montana's farmers and ranchers, devastated by months of drought and wildfire, have got 14.8 billion big ones coming to them, baby. We're talkin' some serious dough for my troubled constituents, slated to go toward livestock subsidies, emergency feed assistance, water hauling, and watershed development. Hot-cha, that's a lotta green.' 'Loot, coin, shekels, cabbage, clams, scratch, ducats, benjamins, dead presidentswhatever you call it, one thing's for sure: This is the real stuff, all right,' said Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS), chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development. 'Pretty soon, those farmers are going to be living large, raking in more than $140 million from the Federal Deferred Grazing Assistance Program alone. And that's just one of more than 30 emergency funding measures passed by Congress. No doubt about it, these farmers are gettin' paid.' U.S. agricultural workers are grateful to be rolling in it after the long dry spell. 'Thanks, Uncle Sugar,' said Norman Billups, a Comanche, TX, cattle rancher. 'Usually, when it comes to laying out the cash, you're tighter than a steer's ass in fly time. But this is quite a pile, no doubt about it. Thanks to you, we're flush again.' Billups added that he would celebrate the aid allocation by getting himself some of the pink that winks and stinks. 
3	France Maintains Key Ban on Monsantos GMO Maize CropsAnthony Gucciardi Thanks to activism by French citizens and serious political outcry, Monsanto is now effectively blocked from Europes gigantic marketplace. This is even more true when you consider the fact that France is the largest grower of crops in all of Europe, making it an agricultural behemoth of sorts. With this move by such a large and influential nation, it will surely lead to similar legislation to pop up and succeed throughout the rest of the globe. Of course like with most other decisions regarding Monsanto, even Reuters admits (see first link) that France was under large amounts of pressure to soften its stance on GMOs. This is due to the fact that Monsanto has significant pull when it comes to government around the globe, with the United States in particular being the launch pad for the biotechnology movement. We now know thanks to WikiLeaks, in fact, that United States ambassadors have actually threatened nations opposed to Monsantos GMO maize crops, going as far as to threaten them with military-style trade wars. When considering that this is but one leak, it is very concerning. Overall, many countries have taken action against Monsanto and its many harmful creations. Peru has banned Monsantos GMOs for a total of 10 years, Hungary uprooted the companys crops from its farmland, and even California is seeking to label GMOs this November. From Agent Orange (known to kill 400,000 and cause 500,000 plus birth defects) to GMO maize, Monsantos time for experimentation may soon be up.

3	David Icke Explains Reptilians and Perception of Reality to Sean StoneThe LipTV 
1	Having hidden in the closet his entire life, homosexual Neil Pivarnik, 47, lives vicariously through his openly gay son Jeff. Closeted homosexual Neil Pivarnik and his openly gay son Jeff. 'I really want to show him he's not alone, that I would never shun him,' Pivarnik said. 'I just know he's going to grow up to do really exciting things, go great places, and meet great people. Hopefully, I can be there to share a lot of that with him.' Pivarnik's only child, the 20-year-old Jeff announced he was gay four years ago while a high-school junior. Jeff currently lives at home while attending Emerson College, enabling his father to experience secondhand the thrill of living a life free of secrets and shame. 'It just fills me with so much happiness to be able to say, 'My son is gay, and I'm not ashamed to say so,'' Pivarnik said. 'When I was his age, it was too dangerous to proclaim your homosexuality. You would have been completely ostracized. He's so lucky to be growing up during these enlightened times. So lucky.' To show his support for his son, Pivarnik attends gay-pride marches, subscribes to the gay magazine Out, and rents gay-themed movies to 'better understand what Jeff is going through.' When Jeff first revealed his homosexuality, his father was there to help him through the difficult period of discovery, doing everything from talking with him about the challenges of 'coming out' to helping him assemble an elaborate costume for a drag show. Pivarnik's wife Linda, whom he married in 1981 after just two months of dating when she became pregnant, has also been supportive of Jeff, though not as involved. 'Neil has been unbelievable,' Linda said. 'A lot of fathers might have hit the ceiling when they heard that their son is gay, but not Neil. He just gave Jeff a big hug, and they became closer than ever.' Though they've never engaged in typical father-son activities like sports or camping, Neil and Jeff spend many hours together, watching old black-and-white movies, tending to the family's expansive rock garden, and simply acting silly, dancing to Jeff's Madonna records. The pair also frequently engage in lengthy, frank conversations about Jeff's dating life, during which Pivarnik gives his son advice about which boyfriends he feels are best suited for him. 'Recently, Jeff started dating this Emerson senior named Rick, who I'm completely crazy about,' Pivarnik added. 'He's smart and funny, and Jeff finds him incredibly attractive. Last night, Jeff and I stayed up for hours talking about Rick. I think it's a good match. I made sure Jeff knew that if he ever wanted to bring Rick over for dinner, he should feel completely comfortable doing so.' Pivarnik said that his son's coming out has actually helped him, as well. 'Honestly, if it wasn't for Jeff, I don't know what I would have done,' Pivarnik said. 'I had a good career in computer-aided interior design and a wonderful wife, but I still felt trapped and spiritually empty. It wasn't until I really started to take part in Jeff's life that I realized the one thing I had been denying all alongthat I was a father. I had to start playing the part.' A small, shy boy in high school, Pivarnik went through many of the same difficulties growing up that his son would later experience. 'I had a hard time dating and always felt different, just like Jeff,' Pivarnik said. 'Of course, with Jeff, a lot of that had to do with his homosexuality, but I still can somehow relate. I guess it just goes to show you that, deep down inside, we're all the same.' 
3	Subliminal Messaging and Predictive Programming: How They Work and Why Some People Are ImmuneBy Daisy Luther This has been going on for decades. These techniques are used to reduce resistance to upcoming tyranny, to change opinions of large groups of people and let them think it was their own idea, and tosubtly program the brains of the masses while they think theyre just enjoying some entertainment. The only good news in this article is that some of us are less susceptible to this type of manipulation. How do we become less susceptible? By understanding how it all works we build up sort of an immunity. We see when we are being subjected to these shenanigans a lot more readily and are able to say, Hey thats not how I feel about this topic at all. There have been tons of articles and almost as many theories about predictive programming. Predictive programming is when events are depicted in a movie or TV show that later come to pass. You can search and come up with hundreds of hits for movies and shows ranging from the Sandy Hook Map in Dark Knight Risesto The Simpsons Predicting the Ebola Outbreak and the Death of Prince.Oh and the author of the Hunger Games trilogy, Suzanne Collins, lives in Sandy Hook and her books deal with child sacrificesIm just sayin. Weird, right? At least sometimes, coincidences do happen. For example, in 1898 Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called Futility about a ship called the Titan that hit an iceberg on its maiden voyage. Fourteen years later the Titanic sank, after hitting an iceberg on its maiden voyage! You can read more about the similarities between the book and the real event here. Now, in this case, I really doubt that the author arranged for the White Star Line to commission a ship called the Titanic and then had it sink in mid-April after hitting an iceberg the first time it left port. Other forms of predictive programming arent so clairvoyant or specific but are predictive in that they reflect a way of life. So why would they do this? It is proposed that by mimicking a change that is desired by those in power, resistance to that change can be minimized because people have seen it happen already. Its easier for them to accept the change because it has been normalized through the media. Here are a few examples from an article by The Coincidence Theorist: The article goes on to link significant terror events like 9/11 and 7/7, as well as events like the moon landing. Its a really great piece until you get to the conclusion and he says its all baloney, even after he provided a ton of interesting evidence to support the case of predictive programming as a tool of familiarization. When I lived in Canada, I noticed that they expressed the message that guns were terrifying on a regular basis on Canadian TV. The popular show Flashpoint was a police procedural about an SRU team in Toronto. (SRU is the Canadian version of SWAT.) Whenever a civilian saw a person with a gun, a gun in a car, or a gun in a desk drawer, they completely freaked out. They immediately phoned the police, and sometimes they hid in closets, whispering in terror to the 911 operator. They needed to be saved because, by golly, guns kill you. Guns are strictly controlled in Canada, and this was just a reinforcement of the message that the government was protecting citizens by keeping firearms away from them, as well as the message that you must immediately phone the officials should one be seen. Subliminal messaging is way more subtle than predictive programming. Messages are played to individuals or the public without them being aware of it. The message may be a visual flash in a series of other pictures that you dont consciously pick up on but your subconscious registers the image. One example would be a movie where frame 25 in a sequence of 40 images moving at 30 frames per second flashes the name of a product, a person, or whatever other information the producers wanted you to take in. Even if you dont believe in your conscious mind that subliminal messaging can have any effect on youyour unconscious mind has no such view, it accepts whats sent to it without question. When companies advertise, politicians stand on the stage, or gangs roam down the street, we see their colors the sign, symbol, or slogan that defines them. Its all marketing and branding, and subliminal messaging can get that message into your brain without you knowingly visualizing it. And it works. A multi-million dollar industry has been created from self-help tapes and CDs that are played while a person sleeps to improve some aspect of the persons life. Experiments with inserting a subliminal message about snacks right before a break in a movie increased snack sales during the break. This technique is heavily used by companies with products to sell. The uncomfortable thing is, unless you instructed someone to put the messages in there or you put them there yourself, there is no way you can know if you are being subjected to such suggestions. Heres exactly how fast that can happen, plus some information on why this works so effectively: Creepy, right? So what happens if the messages we are receiving arent just about buying a soda and some popcorn? What if they are rather more insidious in nature? What if we are being manipulated every time we turn on a TV, watch a movie or even turn on our computers? Some of us are aware of the dumbing down of our young people, their total addiction to their smartphones, tablets and laptops, the hours and hours they watch TV. Kids are completely addicted to their screens. If someone wanted to use screens as mind-control methods, then it makes perfect sense to get kids dependent upon those screens while theyre young. They can be programmed from the very beginning to be good little consumers and to pay for it by being wage slaves. Nearly everyone has a smartphone these days, which means we all carry a mind-control device around in our purses or pockets. Taking it a step further, what if some people are genetically more susceptible than others? What if some of us are immune to this constant bombardment of images, words, and ideas that most people seem to buy into without question? Could this be the difference between the vast majority of the people and those of us are that are awake and aware? Are we just mutants? Is this why I can explain this stuff until I lose my voice and just get a blank stare from people who think I am the crazy one? The vast majority of people in the United States arecompletely accepting of the official message: Most people like us(those who are aware, the self-sufficient minority) watch less TV than the masses. Some of us watch no TV at all. I watch a few shows on Netflix or Amazon Prime, but we dont have cable TV with its commercials and *cough* news. We have other things to do; things that will help us when there are soldiers on the streets for our own protection.Things that will help our kids survive when the store shelves are empty and the majority relies on government rations to live (if they behave well enough to get one that is, and behave they will because hunger is a massive motivator to do as youre told.) Even if you have a tendency to be mind controlled, its possible to snap out of it. I wasnt always the tinfoil-clad blogger you see before you today. When I was in my early 20s, I truly did believe that the government agencies like the EPA and the FDA were looking out for our best interests, that food or medicine wouldnt be sold if it was harmful, and that schools truly were in the business of educating children. Most of us have to shake off our early training at the hands of the education system and the television. And sort of like in the movie, The Matrix, if you can get someone to swallow the red pill, they become a lot less willing to believe whatever theyre fed. Subliminal messaging can change peoples views, can change the way they think, can change what they want to eat, what car they want to buy, maybe even how they vote. All you need is the cash to get your message out there and buy a few split seconds of screen time. It can sow the seeds that make acceptance of abnormal and dangerous situations easier. It can teach people not to question and to be good little sheep. Sitting for hours in front of the television mindlessly watching the drivel produced by companies who call it entertainment is brainwashing people and turning them into idiots, making the best current day example of predictive programming the movieIdiocracy. All you have to do is look around and youll see that its here. Daisy Luther is a freelance writer and editor.

If you dont want to take time to read these books, at least watch the Movie versions. A good and entertaining movie is They Live, which exposes the use of Subliminals. Roddy Piper, the hero of the movie said that They Live was not just a movie, but a Documentary! This is from a guy who was a professional Wrestler. I used to read tons of so-called Sci-Fi books and there was common theme in many of them where Technology becomes an enemy through misuse, Human error or shear evil intent. Question everything, believe nothing until you are convinced what you are seeing is real (or not real). Examples would be 911 or the murders of JFK, RFK and MLK. Look into all aspects of these events, think about the possibilities of all aspects and come to some kind of conclusion, then move on to other dicey subjects like Sandy Hook , San Bernardino attack, Orlando Pulse Nightclub attack and so many others. These are all Psychological Operations (Psy-ops) done by Governments. We are constantly being bombarded with these false flag attacks and they are backed up with the help of the corrupt, Propagandistic so-called News Media. Toss out the TeeVee, approach any media with skepticism and find out as much as you can on things like false flags and Mind Control. The Advertising Industry have no morals, they use imagery of every kind, usually sexual, to sell their clients products. There seems to be more and more Satanic/Masonic symbolism in the Entertainment Industry, especially in Muse-sick Videos and Fashion Magazines. There is much Death-cult imagery, Child abuse, Sexist and ritualistic in modern videos and of course, all that Bling and Materialist crap. It is time to become aware of all the ways you are being subjected to the constant bombardment of these images. From Edward Bernays, Nephew of Sigmund Freud and Father of modern Propaganda and Public Relations to Goebbels to the CIA with Project Monarch and others and now modern Advertising, People have been swayed without even knowing it. It is a cumulative effect. That is why so many Muse-sick Videos have the same, boring, Pyramids, 666, one-eyed Horus themes and even the colours used over and over and over again and again. Look at all the Personalities that are seen making the Horned Sign, which is actually a representation of the Egyptian Sand Viper, that hides in the sand, its unique horns sticking out of the sand. Look at all the same, stupid one-eyed pics, representing the Egyptian God, Horus. Look at all the Pharonic, Kabbalistic, Satanic, Masonic and Illuminati themes. Those in these Industries are into all these various forms of Occultism. They are spreading their own Religious messages and trying to convince our Children and Youth to get involved in this system of belief as well. Many rituals are being performed at Muse-sick Video awards, Sports of all kinds, including the Olympics and especially the recent opening of the Swiss tunnel. They are becoming more and more audacious and open about these themes. A quick study of this stuff will help release you from their influence. Take the damn Blue Pill!!! You mean red pill right? Yeah. Sorry. The one that doesnt take you further down the Rabbit Hole. Thanks! 1. JFK, RFK and MLL = massive hoaxes/frauds. Do some proper research! Many of them use the same symbols, that is true, but they are not using the Entertainment Biz to corrupt Children. As for the assassinations, where is your proof to them ALL being hoaxes? Youre taking this thing way too far. The conspiracy around these events is that in each case it was a lone gunman. These men were murdered because they were changing the system which was becoming totally corrupt. The swearing in of Criminal Lyndon Johnson was the beginning of the worst and now look how far things have sank. Deplorable!!! they are not using the Entertainment Biz to corrupt Children????? The Khazarian Mafia use esoteric math to structure their evil agenda. A small example is that 1318 (REv 13:18) + 666 (explicitly mentioned in that verse) = 1984. Now treat this as a year BC and convert to the Hebrew calendar. 3760 1984 = 1776, founding year of the Illuminati. I spent 35 years teaching ADD ADHD kids in a targeted riding program [way harder than ABCs math]. I designed it because even back in the 70s psychiatrists were drugging their kids before the fake disorder was defined by the doctor who admitted on his death bed that it was not real only a ruse to sell drugs. Way to Go! By using your own inner knowledge and excellent powers of observation. Hugs!!!! The rabbit hole brings; EXACTLY Johnny Canuk. As a freshman in high school, our English class watched videos. It was an experiment. The kids were guinea pigs, only what they didnt know is that I was able to see the subliminal messages and repeat them verbatim. Some of the messages were lines of numbers. Some were orders. Some were ideas. None of the other kids could see or retain or consciously know that there were hidden messages. It turns out that those who can are very rare. A group of 4-5 men in black suits showed up at the high school a few weeks later. I performed for them. Showed them I could easily see the subliminal messages, retain and repeat. Then, started the special tests. Then, started the information sharing, showing me reports written by persons in the intelligence community, wanting me to know the contents of plans. Great system for giving up US top secrets to foreign governments in day light. They were hiding top secrets in popular movies and television shows. Threw the TV in the trash back when the gubbermunt offered to subsidize my transition into the digital age. Thanks, but No thanks. Now whenever Im around a blaring tv I have only two choices, find a way to turn it off or leave. Good comment. Thanks for the input. Cheers! Well Daisy LutherI live in Canada- and I love guns, started hunting with my dad , uncles and grandfathers from an early age, and have owned a number of firearms (all long guns, because I really dont feel the need for a handgun, or Mac 10 to protect my person, property, other family members, or fellow neighbours). As to your point about people in the Canadian TV show all freaking out whenever they saw a gun in public (not talking about hunters in the rural or bush areas, but inhabited urban zones) and immediately phoning the police. Well, do you not think that is the proper reaction- and ones civic duty. Why would somebody be brandishing a gun in a city anyway, if not for some malevolent purpose? And if its a cop, would it still not be a good idea to call, in case he needed some backup or perhaps to give medics a headsup? Well, Ill tell you one thing there Constitution 89- thank God your founding fathers didnt draft up their Constitution in sentences of 105 words like you use. Wow. Didnt your grade school English teacher ever emphasize that a sentence should be of a readable and easily speakable length? Your absolutely right, I think faster than I speak and it shows in my writing too. Im working on that. 
2	Muslim Beats His Wife In Front Of Cops Says Shes My Property! According to recent reports, a Winnipeg Muslim man who allegedly assaulted his wife in front of police and told a police officer it was his decision what he did with his property is now fighting an order that prohibits him from having any contact with the victim. Even if her wish was to have contact with (the accused), the Crown would be strongly opposed to any variation of the bail, Crown attorney Vuk Mitrovic told the court. Mitrovic also claims that even in the presence of officers, the accused was undeterred in committing an assault on his wife. He also argued that the attitude demonstrated by the attacker should cause the court grave concern about the safety and protection of the public. The man has filed a motion to remove the condition, which has prohibited him from living with his wife and nine children. I have been away from my home and my family, the man told the court. This is a problem according to my faith to be away from my family. The court was told the family fled their native Iraq for Syria, before ultimately arriving in Winnipeg last February. What do you think? Is this just another example of the dangers of Islamic extremism? 
2	VIDEO: Obama Refuses to Respond to Heartbroken Mom of Solider Trapped in Mexican Prison Were all aware that Obama bent over backward and violated laws to release deserter Bowe Bergdahl in exchange for the release of 5 Taliban terrorists. Meanwhile, Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi has been jailed in Mexico for over three months, after accidentally crossing the border. Obama has done nothing to help. A White House petition has garnered over 100,000 signatures asking for Obamas response to Tahmooressis mother, who is yet to hear anything from Obama or the State Department. The lack of response remains even after Jill Tahmooressi appeared on CNN to discuss her sons troubling status. All the while, he remains locked in a Mexican Prison. I did reach the 100,000 signature threshold, but that was May 30ths; and I go on every morningthe first thing I do when I wake upI go online. And Ive not received a response yet on that WhiteHouse.gov petition site, so that is frustrating, Tahmooressi claims. Interesting that Obama is so willing to help a deserter but does little to help an active and loyal soldier. Now, it is believed that Tahmooressis mother is looking to be hiring a third attorney to have charges against her son dropped. 
2	World Guinness Record In Boston Worlds Biggest Baby Girl Ever Born When Caroline Ruscak and her husband Bryan went to the hospital to deliver their second baby, they knew she was going to be large. Carolines first baby was eleven pounds, so she had already decided to have her second by C-section. The Boston couple could not have foreseen, however, that their baby would be nearly twice the weight of the average newborn. Measuring 22 in long and weighing in at 14 lb 5 oz, Carisa was born about the size of a typical six-month-old, and is just a few ounces lighter than a super-size baby born in 2022. Were bigger people in general, Mrs. Ruscak told CBS Boston. It just makes sense. Caroline said there were audible gasps in the delivery room. Doctors were clearly not expecting the super-size baby either. Now, Caroline and her beautiful baby are home and healthy, enjoying their time together. 
2	Womans Food Stamp Card Gets Reject, What She Did Next Is Worse Than... [WATCH] According to recent reports, a large, outraged woman destroyed a convenience store after having her food stamp benefits card declined, according to a video on Live Leak. Call the police, call the police, the unnamed woman yells repeatedly in the video, causing chaos in the store. Call the police, she taunts. Do your job, do your job! The woman knocked food on the floor, which is when the patron behind the camera decided to start recording her. She appears belligerent in the footage, and she walks around with a limp from an apparent injury as she throws food around. She even chucks an empty container of Cheetos at a man who is only trying to calm her down. Slowly, a small crowd starts to gather around her in an attempt to stop her, but to no avail. She dives for some candy and snacks, when she is finally grabbed by a store worker who gets her outside of the store. The video closes with footage of the floor covered in candy and snacks. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
2	Andrea Tantaros Makes Shocking Announcement After Fox News Suspension It is still unclear exactly why Andrea Tantaros was let go from Fox News. Some speculate it was because of her outspoken Pro-Trump stance. But despite the reasons she was let go, if enough people demand that they want her back, Fox will bring her back. According to reports, an online petition was formed to bring Andrea Tantaros back to Fox News. It started May 8th with an original goal of 1,000 signatures and received over 9,300 signatures. However, yesterday, after sharing the petition with the Conservative101 community, something amazing happened. In less than 24 hours since Conservative 101 shared the link, over 1,300 more people signed the petition. Thanks to you guys the petition went over the 10,000 signature milestone for a total of 10,629 signatures and rising. How much higher can we get this petition, and how much longer until Fox News takes notice? Here is the petition: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/bring-back-andrea-tantaros 
2	BREAKING: Top Military Leaders Plan Rebellion To Overthrow Obama Upon entering the military, an American officer is expected to give the same oath, under which they promise to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The language is akin to that of the president, as he enters the office, and gives an oath to that states the following: I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. These oaths are part of what make America great, and what make America unique. Under it, Americas leaders swear to uphold freedom, the very freedoms that make the United States what it is today. To that point, it is disappointing when we constantly see these oaths violated and nothing being done about it. It is particularly frustrating to American military officers, who work every day to protect our freedoms. It is no surprise that many retired officers have come public with their criticisms of President Obama, who seems intent on destroying what we have built. The most recent cause for concern is Obamas treatment of Islamic terrorists, from trading Guantanamo Bay detainees to supporting terrorist groups. From Air Force Major General Bentley Rayburn to Army Major General Paul E. Vallely, heroes are speaking out about the dangerous leadership that is driving American liberty into the ground. These criticisms are different from those coming from the press or the American public. These are coming from those who took an oath and have dedicated their lives to protecting America, and who see, clear as day, the danger in allowing a leader like Obama to continue. What do you think? Is it time Obama faced consequences for his actions? 
2	Obama Administration Watching Accounts Who Criticize Obama According to recent reports, the government has just resorted to arresting Americans for speaking negatively about Obama on social media. Americas Freedom Fighters recently announced that Obamas government is looking for those who are publicly criticizing the government, and then arresting them without charges. Rumor has it that the prisoners are then being sent to mental health institutions. Operation Vigilant Eagle began more than four years ago. Since that time, weve seen an increase in the government targeting criticsespecially those with a military background. This comes after the Department of Homeland Security defined extremists as people that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. In addition to being portrayed as extremists, these people are being diagnosed with behavioral issues like oppositional defiance disorder. If you want to see these rumors in action, you need look no further than 26-year-old Brandon Raub. Raub was a decorated Marine, who was quickly targeted by the government after criticizing the government on Facebook. He was quickly arrested without warning, and the government proceeded to interrogate him before labeling him mentally ill. What do you think? Is this a criminal offense that needs to be punished by legal action? We cant let our government censor the American people. 
1	Following the teams 24-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50, every single member of the Denver Broncos organization officially announced their retirement Sunday. To go out on top with a Super Bowl win, theres no better way to end our time in the league, read a joint statement released by quarterback Peyton Manning, general manager John Elway, head coach Gary Kubiak, all 22 assistant coaches, every executive in the Broncos front office, and every player on the Broncos roster, as well as the organizations trainers, equipment managers, scouting personnel, medical staff, executive assistants, marketing team, IT team, human resources department, receptionists, security guards, and janitors, and the Sports Authority Stadium at Mile High ushers, grounds crew, and food vendors. It was a tough decision to make, but ultimately, we realized that wed accomplished everything we set out to do, and weve got nothing left to prove. Not many people can say they were able to go out as Super Bowl champs. At press time, the Broncos had taken out a full-page ad in The Denver Post to say thanks and goodbye to all the fans in the city. 
3	Social Justice Activists Seek Equal Tyranny For All (Women to Be Drafted Soon)By Eric Blair I normally avoid these social justice warrior topics because theyre so charged with emotion that very little logic actually makes it into the discussion. But yesterday a story about a mens rights group pushed me over the edge and I wont be called a racist or a bigot for trashing them. So here it goes. Perhaps equality a was a noble goal at one point in societys timeline, but these groups, rightfully upset by bad treatment, seem to want to punish those with privilege instead of seeking those same privileges. Like other misguided groups, this mens rights group seeks to have women experience the same violation of rights that they face. What violation of rights do males face but females do not, you ask? The group is suing the government claiming a male-only military draft violates Constitution: The suit was brought by the San Diego-based National Coalition For Men nearly three years ago after the military began considering allowing women into combat but was thrown out at the time after the court ruled it wasnt ripe because the combat role of women was then in flux. Now on appeal, the three-judge panel heard arguments in Pasadena a week after Secretary of Defense Ash Carter announced that he was lifting all remaining barriers to women serving in military combat jobs. Things have changed, Judge Marsha Berzon said at one point during Tuesdays proceedings. Right now the position is that all combat jobs are open to women, no? Attorneys for the federal government said the case should still be thrown out arguing, in part, that because the named plaintiff, James Lesmeister, has registered for the draft, the point is moot. There is no assertion in the complaint of any injury whatsoever, Assistant U.S. Attorney Sonia McNeil said. Berzon pushed back, saying: but they do have an assertion of an injury, i.e. We have to register. If I were a woman, I wouldnt have to register. The last major challenge to male-only registration came in the 1981 case Rostker v. Goldberg, which upheld the male-only provision mainly on the grounds that women were not allowed to serve in combat. Thus, even if the lawsuit fails, women will probably be forced to register for the military draft in the near future. I suppose I should congratulate feminists for achieving equal treatment under the Constitution, right? Im the father of three boys who will NOT be registering for the draft because fuck you. You dont own them, through government or otherwise. They own themselves. And they will not fight and die in your corporate wars. If I had daughters, Id feel the same way. Id feel the same way if I was black, brown or a different nationality because the principles here are peace and liberty, not someones fleeting definition of equality. Albert Einstein famously said I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. Im willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war. If we dont have a right to opt out of the military, we have no rights. They own us. Whoever controls the government at a given moment gets to use our bodies like playthings. No thank you. I choose liberty. I choose peace. Final bones to pick with social justice warriors: Eric Blair writes for selfnewsPost.com. This article may be freely shared with author attribution and source link. This is a great article. I did some time in the military (no combat) and it wasnt all bad back then. I was out just before it got really nuts, but I lost a few friends because I wasnt indoctrinated enough for them. I was honest about my position. The funny thing was that they entered stuff in my file that would make it hard for me to get back in. lmao. Talk about clueless, lol. Then Iraq came around and I knew I didnt have to worry about getting any unwanted phone calls. I felt like sending those guys, my former friends, thank you notes One in a while a father will me ask about advice of branches of the service to go in, I say none. Not one. I remember one who didnt really like that answer. Employers like to see discipline and charity work is good for that. I know a guy who met his wife in El Salvador while he was doing charity work and he speaks Spanish like a native. So, he is very employable now. As a precaution, I would tell draft-age kids to learn a skill, a language, writing skills, mechanics, accounting, engineering, welding, something that would help keep them from becoming cannon fodder if the US government kidnaps them for service. Business as usual: The only good soldier is a dead soldier They will drink from thier own cup. You cant start a fire Everytime a US soldier dies on the battlefield, the family gets $1 million dollars and the government pays off a $10 million dollar bond. Dead peasants insurance or something similar to it for the families and the cost to equip and train the soldiers replacement costs. Id love to see these BLM women drafted into the military! Yes yes yes! God how they hate western CHRISTian Democratic Civilization. They just want a supply of RAPE victims , go research the stats. People became awakened and protested in the 60s due to the Draft. Maybe the possibility of women being drafted to kill and be killed for the wealthy elites money hungry scam causes will awaken the masses once again. and to think the IRISH women used to bear their boobs and scratch and scream to show their men going into battle what would happen to them if their men lost. BTW: I never want to see a draft again they must be building up for war if they are spewing this word from the bowels of the beast. These pretenders will not allow their children to fight. selfnews are always claiming that equality is Nature. I have news for them, Nature is NOT an equal opportunity gig. Example: in my back yard, I have several Red Oak, Live Oak and several Pecan trees. Every year they produce hundreds of acorns and pecan nuts. From late Summer through late Autumn, they produce various sizes and quality fruits. About 10% never develop, some are used as food for the local tree inhabitants, about 10% die on the tree with parasite infestations and the rest are of varying sizes and shapes, short and fat or long and skinny. There is one constant, though, plenty of birds and plenty of squirrels populate the trees. I take the developed acorns and put them in a disposable cup with plenty of top soil and water and when they are a foot or so tall, place them out by the curb. Within a day they are gone, hopefully by someone that continue to plant them. Again, equality cannot exist in any world. Whenever communism strikes, only the elite ruling class live in luxury, while the common folks are equal but living in misery. Someone once said to the effect: communism is the equal sharing of misery. I dont get excited about communism anymore. The Ive-got-mine mentality of the US is a grotesque failure. So. . . you dont get excited about apples. . . so oranges are a grotesque failure. . . hrmm. . . fail logic. Hats off to you sir. 4 dynamic steps to begin a better world: I admire your position, most esteemed author of this article, but I have one question for you-Do you realize what will happen to your sons (and possibly daughters now) if they do not register for the draft? I hope you have a Plan B. TRANNY = TYRANNY! Spread it around! Can we say, Agenda 21? It is the poor and minorities who end up as cannon fodder for the War machine. . . The quickest path to extinction for those people is to intentionally put the women in harms way. If 50% of the men in any given society are killed in battle, there is no reduction in the breeding potential of that society. One man can impregnate more than one woman, So. . . if you want your genetic legacy to end in a Middle Eastern desert by all means, support this mindlessness from now until your family tree ends with you. Finally, FULL equality This tells us the destruction of white society is near complete, putting our potential mothers in harms way is the last move in ending our unique in all the world society. The White part of the Anunnakis experiment is drawing to a close. Offered the two young girls from the white house and they too follow the bush kids (11 at last count) that will not fit into the uniform of the True American Patriots. Our banks need our children to kill other children to make there children wealthy again. 
3	Survival Basics: Preparing for a Grid Down Power OutageGaye Levy, Contributor Some of the basic items you need to have on hand to get through a power outage are quite simple and arethings you probably have on hand: This is a very short list, relatively speaking and unless you have been living in a cocoon in Siberia, chances are that these items have already been set aside so that they will be readily available when the lights blink off. And for a three or four hour outage, you will be just fine with these items. But what if the power is lost for a longer period of time for whatever reason how will you cook your food? How will you keep warm? How will you insure your safety in dark? These are just a few of the issues you will face if there is an extended power outage. Add infants, the elderly or the infirm to the mix and you have a big problem on your hands. Today I want to get back to survival basics and offer some suggestions and ideas for preparing your household for an extended power outage. My goal is to get those wheels cranking (in your brain, that is) and to provide you with a starter checklist of suggestions that can be implemented in stages as your needs and budget allow. 1. Store foods that require very little of no warming or cooking. These foods should b items that your family normally eats. Suggestions? Canned meats, cold cereals, peanut butter, crackers, canned fruits and veggies. If you are a coffee drinker, include some instant coffee as well. The list is endless but let me caution you: if you gag at the thought of cold ravioli out of a can now, you will also gag if you have to eat it in an emergency, power out situation. Dont be silly store foods that are meant to be eaten cold or at room temperature. And dont forget the manual can opener and some disposable plates and utensils. 2. Acquire one or more alternate cooking sources such a fire pit, charcoal barbeque or camp stove. We are lucky that we have a propane cook top in our kitchen that can easily be lit with a match. In addition, we haveVolcano IICollapsible Stove, and EcoZoom rocket stovethat burns biomass, Patina Cast Iron Fire Pitthat is set up for cooking, a couple of butane stoves, and a gas grill. 3. Have at least one lantern that will cast a wide beam that is large enough to fill a room with brightness when the sun goes down. We have both a Coleman propane lanternand a Coleman battery driven lantern.Colemans are a timeless choice because they last forever and replacement parts even for older models, are readily available. 4. Store fuel for your chosen energy device. This could be wood for the fire pit, propane cylinders for the gas grill, or 100 pounds of charcoal. It could also be large bucket of pinecones or twigs to use as biomass in your rocket stove. The point is to store fuel you are going to need it. One more point: educate yourself on the proper storage of fuel. All of the food in the world will not help you one bit if you blow yourself to bits. 5. Blankets are good but a nice toasty sleeping bag or down comforter is better. And a heavy jacket, plus socks are good, too. It is easy to strip down when the temperatures soar not that that is the optimal way to keep cool but when you are cold, you need to bundle up and stay warm. 6. Invest in a generator. We recently invested in a 10 kw whole house generator that will automatically power our home during the frequent outages on our island. Think it wont happen to you? A few years back, the city of Seattle was dark for almost a week. It happens. A portable generator can be purchased for as little as $500 or $600 and the sky is the limit after that. Just keep in mind that the installation by a qualified electrician is probably going to cost as much as the generator itself. Also, make sure you test the installation! I can not stress this too much. In my own recent experience I was caught with no refrigerator power during a short term outage because I stupidly trusted the electrician to get things right. Wrong. The wiring from the refrigerator to the master panel was not connected. So whatever you do, test and test again every few months or so. 7. If you have the proper sun exposure, the budget and the space, consider solar power as a backup to your local power grid. Many local utilities, states, and yes, even the federal government offer financial incentives and policies that promote renewable energy. It is worth checking in to. 8. Fill empty milk or juice jugs with water then store them in your freezer so that all of the spare nooks and crannies are filled. This will serve a variety of purposes: the freezer will operate more efficiently because it is full, plus, if there is an outage, the frozen jugs of ice will hold the contents cool for a longer period of time. You can even move some of the jugs of ice to your refrigerator to keep things cold for a short term following an unexpected outage. Note: the water stored in this manner, when thawed, can be used for cleaning or flushing but not for drinking unless it is purified or filtered. Okay. So we have covered basic power needs. But what are some of the other essentials that you will want to have on hand during a power outage? How about the following: I hope these ideas will start you on the road to thinking about a power outage and how you can prepare to keep yourself warm, light, and well during a power outage. And once you are prepared, I suggest you pop up a big pot of popcorn and get yourself a copy of the movie The Trigger Effect. I saw this film when it first came out and still find it chilling. Here a synopsis: Do yourself a favor and buy some canned goods, a flashlight, and a radio before you watch this film.Unfairly dismissed by the critics and missed by the public, this pre-Y2K suspense film is a chilling, sobering experience that will turn any practical person into a paranoid, apocalyptic loon. When the power goes out in the big city and society starts to break down, husband and wife Matthew and Annie find out that not even suburbia is safe. Read other articles by Gaye Levy here.

2	BREAKING: Macys Learns Quick Lesson After Doing THIS To Donald Trump Donald Trump has been in the center of controversy ever since announcing his intention to run for president in 2016. During his campaign announcement, he made some controversial comments about Mexico that has affected both his personal and professional relationships. Essentially, Trump commented on the large number of criminals that are crossing the border illegally into the United States. He went on to call many of them drug-dealers and rapists. Shortly after his comments aired, Univision decided to drop the Miss Universe Pageant. This PR move was followed quickly thereafter by NBC and Macys. The decision to cut ties with the legendary businessman is not without consequences, however. Trump has filed a $500 million lawsuit against Univision, and just days after Macys decided to end the decade-long partnership, Trump was named as the front runner for the GOP nomination. That means that the department store chain has been receiving a massive inflow of letters, phone calls, and messages from more than 30,000 customers and Trump supporters. I will be boycotting Macys, one customer wrote on their Facebook page. If they dont want Trump I dont want Macys. Apparently, as far as I can tell, Macys supports illegal immigration, another customer wrote. What do you think? Will you boycott Macys? 
2	Sheriff Issues EPIC Explanation After Deputies Shoot Immigrant CopA decade ago, an illegal immigrant named Angilo Freeland shot and killed a sheriffs deputy and his dog in Lakeland, Florida. The criminal lead policy on a 24-hour manhunt, resulting in another officer being shot and Freeland being killed in a hail of gunfire. According to Fox News, it was later revealed that Freeland had been hit 68 times out of an estimated 110 rounds fired at the suspect by a SWAT team that had surrounded him. The liberal media was quick to jump on the story, accusing Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd of using too much force and allowing the law enforcement officers under his command to fire more rounds than were necessary. You have to understand, he had already shot and killed a deputy, he had already shot and killed a K-9 and he shot and injured another deputy, Sheriff Judd responded to the media. Quite frankly, we werent taking any chances. I suspect the only reason 110 rounds was all that was fired was thats all the ammunition they had, Judd continued. We were not going to take any chance of him shooting back. What do you think? Do you support Judd for standing up to the liberal media and those who frequently take the side of criminals?

1	Upon recording his 40th stolen base of the season, in addition to his 45 home runs, and gaining entry into baseball's exclusive 40-40 club, Nationals left-fielder Alfonso Soriano said that after meeting the other three membersJose Canseco, Barry Bonds, and Alex Rodriguezhe now understands why no one has joined in the past eight years. 'From all I had heard, this club was going to give me the opportunity to be among the greats of the game, but it turns out there's only three guys here, and one of themthis big, dumb guy who I still have no idea how he got inkept asking me what kind of steroids I take and if I knew anyone else who took them,' Soriano said. 'I thought this was supposed to be an elite club, but it looks like they'll let just about any asshole in.' Soriano later announced plans to reach the 50-50 plateau as soon as possible so he could 'get out before A-Rod asks [him] for some help with his swing again.' 
3	The Future Of Socialized Healthcare: There Is No Better Predictor Than The VA SystemMac Slavo Perhaps Armageddon hasnt arrived for those who have been allowed to keep their platinum health insurance because of exemptions granted by the administration. But for the rest of us, a Healthcare Armageddon is a foregone conclusion. Economically and financially, the new law will bankrupt an already struggling middle class who has, in many cases, seen a four-fold increase in their monthly premiums. By all accounts, life for those people is going to change dramatically in coming years because as much as 15% of their income will now be taken from them by force in the form of what the U.S. Supreme Court has classified as a mandated tax. For those with the ability to make those outrageous payments and deductibles each year, they have now entered a system run by the very same bureaucrats in charge of our countrys other government run health care programs. To understand the future of socialized health care in America we need to look no further than the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. You could ask the scores of Veterans who were pencil-pushed to the back of the line by the VA in Phoenix and Houston, except for the fact that they died while awaiting the medical assistance they were promised. And while the deaths of these service members is tragic and almost unbelievable, it is just the tip of the iceberg. Tens of thousands of our veterans are shuffled around within the system, often times for budgetary reasons or because their physician is just is simply too apathetic to care. If you need real medical care, for example, which often starts with a diagnosis that may include testing like an X-ray or an MRI, its common for VA physicians to simply ignore the patients need and jump right into prescribing pain medication. There are countless stories like this, where patients literally waited years to receive a real diagnosis, only to see their condition worsen and become inoperable by the time testing was completed because it was ignored for so long. That very system which has ignored those men and women who have put their lives on the line for this country and has promised to care for them is now the same system thats in charge of medical care under the Patient Affordable Care Act. In fact, if recent history is any guide, the mandates under Obamacare are going to be much, much worse: The death panels may not exist by name, but they most assuredly exist within the bureaucracy managed by the U.S. government. Were not making this up, its no conspiracy, and it cannot be debunked, as evidenced by the experiences of actual people currently enrolled in the Obamacare system: In simple terms: If you get cancer you will not get medical care. This is, by every possible definition, nothing short of a death panel. With the Patient Affordable Care Act, we have no other choice but the health insurance prescribed by the government. And cancer treatment is not covered according to the hospitals that are supposed to provide it! Just wait until you see what happens when these bureaucrats realize that the medical system is underfunded because healthy people, especially young adults, refuse to sign up. You see, Obamacare is, in essence, a Ponzi scheme that requires one group to continually provide funding in order to pay off the needs of another group. Despite that claimed number of 7.1 million Americans having signed up since the programs inception, a recent report indicates that as many as half of the enrollees missed their first insurance payment.One reason for this might be the exorbitant costs associated with the coverage (not counting the deductibles!). As these liabilities begin to pile up and not enough people sign up to make up the difference, guess what happens. Again, in simple terms, An Instantaneous Collapse of Obamacare Services: While the law may never be repealed and everybody who signed up thinks they still have health insurance, when it matters most there wont be a doctor on the list wholl be willing to help you. Thats what we can call a de facto death panel. They had them back in the old Communist days of the East Bloc. It wasnt by name, of course, but rather by action. People used to stand in hours-long lines just to be seen for an ear infection or to receive antibiotics, unless of course you could throw the doc a little summin-summin under the table. Then you were prioritized. Eastern Europeans and Soviet Russians who lived under the red banner prior to 1989 will tell you, You dont go to the hospital to live longer, you go there to die. This is the same system we now have in place in America, despite the fact that ear wax eating Congressman Joe Garcia claimed just this week that democrats have proven Communism works. It works great for people like the Congressman who suck off the taxpayer teat, enjoy free platinum health care coverage, and dine at premier ear wax eateries around D.C. For the rest of us, however, Communism works about as well as it did for the millions of slaves who eventually tore down the Berlin Wall to escape its stranglehold.

2	HAPPENING NOW: John Kerry To Step Down... Hes Through According to recent reports, GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz has just demanded that Secretary of State John Kerry resign. His demand comes after Obama officials accused Israel of committing acts of terrorism. Now, it looks like Cruz may get what hes hoping for. Reports indicate that Kerry may have intentions of stepping down. If that were to happen, he would be replaced by John Edwards, the former Senator. Kerrys comments were particularly disturbing because they come at a time when eight Israeli citizens have been murdered in terrorist attacks from Palestine. Kerry caused outrage when he blamed Israeli settlement for the violence, rather than the terrorists themselves. Mr. Kirby should immediately retract his offensive assertion that Israel is guilty of acts of terror or resign, and Secretary Kerry should immediately disavow these remarks or resign, Cruz told reporters. Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York also chimed in, claiming that it is absolutely disgusting and shameful that the Obama administration not only refuses to stand strong with our ally in Israel, but actually has the audacity to claim that the Israelis are guilty of terrorism. What do you think? Does the entire Obama administration need to be booted from the White House ASAP? 
3	History Lesson: America Is the Same Oligarchy It Was over a Century AgoAaron Dykes and Melissa Melton Come on, even our Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen (you know, the lady that runs the place that prints our money and sells it to us with interest) has basically admitted it. But are things really getting worse these days or is this just par for the course the same course weve been on for over a century now? Tinkering around in an old bookstore in a small Texas town, we came across a set of old books on democracy; we got the first seven volumes of a set entitled, The March of Democracy: A History of the United States written by James Truslow Adams the guy who coined the term The American Dream for a mere $20. The first books copyright is 1932. The last book ends in 1958. Fascinating stuff For example, in volume four America and World Power the book discusses how Gradually and quite naturally, there grew up the belief in a great conspiracy on the part of the very rich to ruin the poor. Read this and tell me does any of it sound even the least bit familiar to you? That was written, by the way, in 1940; the author was discussing how America was run back in the late 1800s. Not only is the emphasis on Democracy a distortion of the fact the nation was founded as a Constitutional Republic, where rights are preserved rather than subjected to the whims of the majority, but these passages demonstrate the familiar snow job surrounding the all-but-official bankers oligarchy that has ruled this country and many others for some time. In fact, in volume five, The Record of 19331941, Adams records the death of John D. Rockefeller, Sr., as the end of the era of this great wealth never to occur again. Everything ended happily ever after. Well, not quite. Despite appearances, the shift on the part of the Rockefellers and other Robber Barons of the day from outright monopoly to philanthropic non-profit charity work was not an end to the dominance by the super-rich of the early 2oth Century, but an intensification of their undue influence. The taxation of the wealthy as well as the anti-trust actions of the day, which included busting up megacorpses like Standard Oil and ATT, were perhaps well meaning but fundamentally failed to rein in the disparity of power. Instead, new tax laws, in reality, acted to restrict new wealth from reaching the heights of the oligarchy, allowing the elite to keep their own, and initiate new members as desired. The tax-free status of many institutions including the Rockefeller Foundation, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the Ford Foundation allowed the incredibly wealthy to a) shield their fortunes from taxation, b) appear to do good works and boost public opinion of their principle members while c) influencing, writing and developing official public policy through the steering mechanisms of its own tax-free grant making, think tank and research powers. Much social engineering has taken place with far too little public notice through these bodies. Additionally, d) many of its directors and board members were in respectable positions to shift into official government positions through the revolving door without appearing to be acting on behalf of their corporate masters. The Reece Committee Hearings, conducted in 1953, attempted to probe the role of tax-free foundations in public life and uncovered many outrageous and conspiratorial actions taking place, including very apparent agendas advancing a one-world corporate-dominated government. However, it did not succeed in a general public understanding of what was taking place, nor did it rein in their powers. The real wealth, from older robber barons accumulated in land, resources, banking and investment and commodities are still there, but remain under reported on the Forbes list of the worlds richest, instead ruling largely from the shadows and influential but secretive groups such as Bilderberg. The Bill Melinda Gates Foundation, as well as the Gates-Buffett led billionaires giving pledge are keeping in stride with the groundwork laid and continued by the Rockefeller Foundation and Ford Foundation. Heavily funded initiatives to push vaccines, birth control, population control, Western-oriented education, GMO and corporate-dominated agriculture and the like remain some of the most consequential and troubling policies done in the name of good by tax-free entities wielding enormous, nearly incalculable wealth and power. In short, the myth of democracy and freedom in the United States the beacon around the world perpetuates, despite a few blemishes. But in reality, the Oligarchy took hold some time ago, has not let up and perhaps never will. Let that sink in, kids. Take a good look, and let it all sink in. And dont forget to read Charlotte Iserbyts revealing and TRUE work, loaded with documents and footnotes, The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America. It helps to explain why you dont know this stuff, why the reins of power have been stolen from us, and why things are not soon going to get better. Unfortunately, the late comedic genius George Carlin was all-too-right when he explained the owners of America and why the education system is broken: And like Carlin said of James Truslow Adams American Dream, The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it. 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 
3	Lauren Southern I Can Be An Anti Feminist As Well As A Libertarian!By Dan Dicks This female is clueless. Men exclusively take care of themselves, or the need for Feminism would have never existed. Feminism means one thing, and one thing only; Women are Human Beings. As a Feminist, I resent being likened to an amoral pig like Killary. This gal doesnt live in the real world where women do shit work while men are promoted ahead. She obviously has no exposure to military life or the financial world to begin with. If this girl wants attention and align herself with sluts, there are many better ways to do this. All she is doing is making an asshole out of herself. Anti-Feminist? You dont consider women to be people. Pathetic. 
2	Joe Biden Cant Take The Criticism Any Longer, Lashes Out In his memoir, Duty, former defense secretary Robert Gates criticizes a series of politicians, ranging from Vice President Joe Biden to Hillary Clinton. He is particularly harsh on Biden, however, making the claim that he has been wrong on every decision he has made regarding national security and foreign policy. Biden is not taking the criticism lightly, and has started firing back at Gates, claiming that he has been wrong about all of the decisions related to foreign policy. He has criticized Gates views on Mikhail Gorbachev to his views on the Vietnam War. And he has challenged the authorclaiming he cannot wait to debate him. Although mentioned to a lesser degree, there was some information about Hillary Clinton in the book as well that could damage her campaign if she decides to run in the 2016 campaign. Gates did have a few positive things to say about Hillary however, claiming that she is idealistic and tough-minded. David Brock, founder of Media Matters, a left-wing outlet, claims that Gates has criticized nearly everyone he has worked with. What do you think? Do you agree with Gates assessment? 
1	Describing it as a 'discerning and literary companion' to their flagship entertainment-news magazine, Us Weekly editor-in-chief Janice Min announced on Tuesday the creation of Us Quarterly, a scholarly, four-times-yearly journal dedicated to sizzling-hot celebrity gossip. The quarterly will feature in-depth essays, investigative pieces, and expert commentary on Hollywood's hottest megastars. 'Due to the demands of weekly publication, [Us Weekly] was only able to scratch the surface,' said Min, who is helming the offshoot publication. 'The quarterly is a dream come true for the more serious-minded star-watcher, who enjoys pictorials showcasing Mary-Kate Olsen's club-hopping wardrobe, but craves a more critical examination of her hottest boots.' Min estimated that the first issue of Us Quarterly, slated to debut in August, will be 300 pages long. It will feature a thoughtful analysis of Lindsay Lohan's troubles on the set of Herbie: Fully Loaded, a Michael Cunningham short story inspired by the TV season's nastiest celebrity feuds, and a 20-page treatise from Oxford literary critic John Bayley mapping Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's romantic, midnight Malibu beach stroll. The quarterly will be a radical departure from the magazine's largely visual format. 'The new Us editorial direction moves away from splashy paparazzi photos with brief captions toward food-for-thought essays, in-depth investigative pieces, and transcribed roundtable discussions,' said Adweek media reporter Donna Boorstin. 'They'll cover everything from Nikki Hilton's Vegas weekend blowup to Sandra Bullock's surprise summer wedding with bad-boy Jesse James.' While small pointillist illustrations will accompany the pieces, the majority of the publication will be textual. Said Boorstin: 'For regular Us readers who may have trouble picturing this new format, try to think of how, in a romance paperback, the words build into continuous paragraphs, and you have to read them all in order to know what is happening. That's what Us Quarterly will look like.' Noted scholar Albert C. Wittingham joined Paris Hilton at an <I>Us Quarterly</I> panel discussion held at a Middlebury Writers' Seminar Sunday to discuss celebrity panty lines. Us Quarterly will expand some of Us Weekly's most popular features, such as the back-page 'Fashion Police,' but Min will assign some new cops to the beat. 'We've reworked the section into a 'fashion roundtable,'' Min said. 'In the new format, our stalwart regularsfashion experts, professional gossips, and drag queenswill match wits with some of our nation's most prominent intellectual commentators.' 'The results are quite lively,' Min added. In the first quarterly 'Fashion Police,' an unflattering dress worn by Brittany Murphy united panel members, earning catcalls ranging from Fagatha Christie's 'Sin City had more color than this frumpy frock' to Lewis Lapham's 'This is the jejune raiment of imperial excess.' However, celebrity stylist Margo Fischer and writer Joyce Carol Oates were divided over Kirsten Dunst's gown at a recent charity benefit for autism. Fischer said 'this nightmare in distressed pink muslin would make me withdraw,' but Oates defended Dunst, describing the starlet as 'a lovely Miss Haversham on her wedding day, the groom's absence as yet unremarked, her heart untouched by the impotent rage of love lost.' Us Quarterly will be available on newsstands Aug. 15th for the cover price of $12.95. 
1	EAST LANSING, MIArea resident Aaron Henschler, 25, is fearing for his very sanity. Aaron Henschler days before heeding the voices suggestion that he clear off his coffee table. Known as an unorganized and often unreliable person, Henschler reports that in recent months, voices in his head have been making 'pretty good points' about time management. 'I must be seriously sick,' the house-bound, unemployed Henschler said. 'The voices are always present, urging me to 'set small, achievable goals' and 'make a to-do list to manage your daily tasks.' This can't be happening to me.' Henschler has a history of anxiety-based psychological disorders, including agoraphobia and panic attacks. But approximately one month ago, just as he 'was settling into a familiar routine,' the voices struck. 'It started with just a word here and there, like 'prioritize' or 'organize,'' Henschler said. 'Soon, the voices started giving me more detailed instructions, compelling me to 'create a comprehensive chart, ranking action-taking steps in order of importance,' and 'set hard-and-fast deadlines.'' Said Henschler: 'It's terrifying.' According to Henschler, three distinct voices regularly communicate with him: a relaxed, self-assured male, a female life coach who speaks in clear, clipped tones, and a 'curious' child who asks such questions as, 'Wouldn't you feel less paralyzed by life if you wrote out your daily schedule on a dry-erase board?' Friend Marcus Gambon, whom Henschler described as his 'sole contact with the outside world,' said he has noticed an unsettling change in Henschler. 'I was supposed go over to Aaron's house Monday night to smoke pot and hang out,' Gambon said. 'But then I get this strange call from him, telling me how we can't get together because he's feeling intense pressure to 'be productive,' and how part of that is 'learning how to say no' to something he called 'time burglars.' ...I'm worried about him.' Henschler said the voices have begun to affect his conduct. 'At first, I could tune them out by turning up music really loud,' Henschler said. 'Lately thoughas crazy as this soundsthe voices have started to make sense. Especially the whole '10 steps toward making a more positive and lasting change' they dictated to me last night.' Henschler finally succumbed to the voices last Thursday when he left his home for the first time in three weeks to purchase a day planner. He also signed up for online banking and took the voices' advice to go to bed at 10 p.m. 'They have plans for me,' said Henschler, gesturing to a weekly schedule, block-printed in handwriting so legible he initially did not recognize it as his own. 'Thursday, for instance, the voices would like for me to determine a more sensible and fixed budget.' Henschler added: 'I shudder to think where I'll end up on time a month from now, or worse, what I'll be on time for.' Henschler said his delusions reached a peak Sunday, with a visual hallucination. 'I was crawling around the bedroom on my hands and knees when I looked up and screamed,' Henschler recalled. 'For a second, leaning against the wall, I thought I saw a broom and dustpan.' Henschler said that despite the steady escalation of his sickness, he was able to keep the hallucinations under control until a frightening incident Monday, when he was awoken in the middle of the afternoon, as if by command. 'They ordered me to 'get off the sofa and clear away the clutter at once,'' a visibly upset Henschler said. 'I told them that I couldn't do it, but they just persisted in this mad chant: 'If you have time to lean, you have time to clean.'' 'Next thing I know, I'm at the dumpster, throwing away two full black garbage bags,' Henschler said. 'God, what have I done?' After that disturbing incident, Henschler decided to seek help. He made an appointment with his family's physician in hopes of obtaining a referral to a psychiatrist. 'I kept putting off doing something about this,' Henschler said. 'Maybe I was just hoping the voices would go away on their own.' Henschler added: 'I should have known better. After all, the voices themselves urged me to call as soon as possible, as doctors are generally quite busy and are often booked weeks in advance.' 
2	Obamaa General Is Threatening To Put Conservatives In Internment Camps [VIDEO] (Ret.) General Wesley Clark is the Former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, and a Democrat who is best known for his opposition to President George W. Bush following 9/11. Clark ran for president in 2004, but was unsuccessful. Now, hes become an avid Obama supporter. During a recent appearance on MSNBC, Clark shocked viewers by saying he believes that radicalized Americans should be place in internment camps to protect normal communities. The comment came in response to a question from Thomas Roberts about how Clark would handle domestic terrorists. Clark then went on to introduce his new organization WesPAC. WesPAC is a results-oriented political action committee with two central objectives: first, to replace the current, radical Administration and its political allies; and second, to provide leadership in national security and to advocate for a strong, sound foreign policy. Clark has received immense backlash for his comments. So who makes the determination of who is disloyal to the United States? (Ret.) Colonel Allen West asked. Thats a very flexible word. What defines a normal community? Watch the video below and tell us what you think of Clarks proposal. 
2	Mugabe Just Banned White People From Owning Land According to recent reports, President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe has ordered that all white farmers are to surrender their land to black locals, claiming that white people are no longer allowed to own land. President Mugabe allegedly spoke to farmers in Mhangura, a small mining town, and claimed that all white farmers to leave. He also noted that white people should not be allowed to rent farms from black farmers. I have been given a list of 35 white farmers in Mashonaland West alone, the 90-year-old president is reported to have said. We say no to whites owning our land and they should go. They can own companies and apartmentsbut not the soil. It is ours and that message should ring loud and clear in Britain and the United States. Dont be too kind to white farmers. Land is yours, not theirs, Mugabe concluded. Although Mugabe received some support, others have objected to his actions, and local papers have condemned his racist views on the matter. We should be fighting these prejudices like tribalism, regionalism and racism. I say no to racism, Barnabus Thondlana of The Observer wrote. What do you think of Mugabes orders? 
3	Abolish The Income TaxYou Wont Believe Who Is Getting Away With Paying Zero Taxes While The Middle Class Gets Hammered The federal income tax is a bad joke and it needs to be abolished. All over the nation, hard working American families are being absolutely crushed by oppressive levels of taxation, and our politicians are constantlycoming up with new ways to extract money from all of us every single year. Meanwhile, many ultra-wealthy Americans and many of the most profitable corporations in the country pay little to nothing in taxes. In fact, as you will see below, there are dozens of very prominent corporations that make billions of dollars in profits and yet dont pay a dime in taxes. Tax avoidance has become a multi-billion dollar industry in the United States. Those that have the resources to play the game use shell companies, offshore tax havens and the thousands of loopholes in our tax code to minimize their tax burdens as much as possible. Meanwhile, the rest of us get absolutely hammered. This is fundamentally unfair. The federal income tax system is irreversibly broken at this point, and it is time to abolish it. If you think that the federal income tax system can be fixed, then you probably have never studied it. Our tax code is nearly 4 million words long and it is absolutely riddled with thousands of loopholes that favor big corporations and the ultra-wealthy. We should come up with a better, fairer way to fund the government. The United States once prospered greatly without a federal income tax, and it could do so again. Many people simply do not believe that it is possible for corporations inside the United States to make billions of dollars in profits each year and not pay a dime in income taxes. The numbers that you are about to see are for 2008, 2009 and 2010 combined. For taxes paid, please note that for 29 of the corporations a negative number is given. That means that the net tax liability for 2008 through 2010 was actually less than zero. After seeing these numbers, is there anyone out there that is still willing to claim that our tax system is fair? General Electric U.S. Profits: $10,460,000,000 PGE Corp. U.S. Profits: $4,855,000,000 Verizon Communications U.S. Profits: $32,518,000,000 Wells Fargo U.S. Profits: $49,370,000,000 American Electric Power U.S. Profits: $5,899,000,000 Pepco Holdings U.S. Profits: $882,000,000 Computer Sciences U.S. Profits: $1,666,000,000 CenterPoint Energy U.S. Profits: $1,931,000,000 NiSource U.S. Profits: $1,385,000,000 Duke Energy U.S. Profits: $5,475,000,000 Boeing NextEra Energy U.S. Profits: $6,403,000,000 Consolidated Edison U.S. Profits: $4,263,000,000 Paccar Integrys Energy Group U.S. Profits: $818,000,000 Wisconsin Energy U.S. Profits: $1,725,000,000 DuPont U.S. Profits: $2,124,000,000 Baxter International U.S. Profits: $926,000,000 Tenet Healthcare U.S. Profits: $415,000,000 Ryder System U.S. Profits: $627,000,000 El Paso U.S. Profits: $4,105,000,000 Honeywell International U.S. Profits: $4,903,000,000 CMS Energy U.S. Profits: $1,292,000,000 Con-way U.S. Profits: $286,000,000 Navistar International U.S. Profits: $896,000,000 DTE Energy U.S. Profits: $2,551,000,000 Interpublic Group U.S. Profits: $571,000,000 Mattel Corning FedEx Total Just look at that combined total again. Those 30 companies had combined profits of more than 163 billion dollars during those three years, and yet the combined net tax liability of those companies was negative 10.6 billion dollars. I wish I could make my taxes look like that. Another company that is making headlines because of their taxes these days is Facebook. It turns out that Facebook made more than a billion dollars in 2012 but did not pay a single dime in federal or state income taxes. The following is from a report that was just released by Citizens for Tax Justice Earlier this month, the Facebook Inc. released its first 10-K annual financial report since going public last year. Hidden in the reports footnotes is an amazing admission: despite $1.1 billion in U.S. profits in 2012, Facebook did not pay even a dime in federal and state income taxes. Instead, Facebook says it will receive net tax refundstotaling $429 million. According to Businessweek, Facebook has an additional 2 billion dollars in tax credits that it will be able to use in future years Facebook says that it anticipates reducing its tax liability in the future by an additional $2.17 billion by using further net operating loss carry-forwards that it has banked. And of course when it comes to abusing the tax system, the big Wall Street banks are some of the worst offenders. The following is an excerpt from a report put out by the office of U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders Here are just a few examples of how the corporations and Wall Street banks these CEOs work for have significantly harmed our economy and the federal budget: 1. Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan In 2010, Bank of America operated 371 subsidiaries incorporated in offshore tax havens. 204 of these subsidiaries are incorporated in the Cayman Islands, which has a corporate tax rate of 0%. Amount of federal income taxes Bank of America would have owed if offshore tax havens were eliminated? $2.5 billion. Bank of America has stashed $18.5 billion in offshore tax havens to avoid paying U.S. income taxes. Bank of America would owe an estimated $2.5 billion in federal income taxes if its use of offshore tax avoidance was eliminated. Amount of federal income taxes paid in 2010? Zero. $1.9 billion tax refund. Bank of America received a $1.9 billion tax refund from the IRS in 2010, even though it made $4.4 billion in profits. Taxpayer Bailout from the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department? Over $1.3 trillion. During the financial crisis, Bank of America received a total of more than $1.3 trillion in virtually zero interest loans from the Federal Reserve and a $45 billion bailout from the Treasury Department. 2. JP Morgan Chase CEO James Dimon In 2010, JP Morgan Chase operated 83 subsidiaries incorporated in offshore tax havens. Amount of federal income taxes JP Morgan Chase would have owed if offshore tax havens were eliminated? $4.9 billion JP Morgan Chase has stashed $21.8 billion in offshore tax haven countries to avoid payng income taxes. If this practice was outlawed, it would have paid $4.9 billion in federal income taxes. Taxpayer Bailout from the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department? $416 billion During the financial crisis, JP Morgan Chase received a total of more than $391 billion in virtually zero interest loans from the Federal Reserve and a $25 billion bailout from the Treasury Department, while Jamie DImon served as a director of the New York Federal Reserve. 3. Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein In 2008, Goldman Sachs received a $278 million refund from the IRS, even though it earned a profit of $2.3 billion that year. Number of offshore tax havens in 2010? 39. In 2010, Goldman Sachs operated 39 subsidiaries in offshore tax haven countries. Amount of federal income taxes Goldman Sachs would have owed if offshore tax havens were eliminated? $3.32 billion. Goldman Sachs has stashed $20.63 billion in offshore tax haven countries to avoid paying income taxes. If this practice was outlawed, it would have paid $3.32 billion in federal income taxes. Taxpayer Bailout from the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department? $824 billion. During the financial crisis, Goldman Sachs received a total of $814 billion in virtually zero interest loans from the Federal Reserve and a $10 billion bailout from the Treasury Department. Are you starting to get the picture? The big banks and the big corporations make billions, but they pay nothing or next to nothing. The rest of us bust our rear ends to try to get ahead, and we get gougedby dozens of different taxes. Over time, the percentage of the overall tax burden shouldered by corporations has gotten smaller and smaller. Back in 1950, corporate taxes accounted for about 30 percent of all federal revenue. In 2012, corporate taxes accounted for less than 7 percent of all federal revenue. These days, large corporations have become absolute masters at avoiding taxes. In fact, there are many international tax havens that are doing a booming business in setting up sham headquarters for U.S. corporations. For example, the city of Zug, Switzerland only has a population of 26,000 people but it is the headquarters for 30,000 companies. But corporations are not the only ones doing this kind of thing. The ultra-wealthy have also mastered the art of legally not paying taxes. As I mentioned in a previous article, it has been reported that the global elite have up to 32 TRILLION dollars stashed in offshore banks around the globe. With that amount of money, you could pay off the entire U.S. national debt and still have enough money left over to buy every product and service produced in the United States during an entire year. It is time to admit that our tax system is broken.Congress has had decades to fix it, and yet the abuses just keep getting worse.What we are doing is not working.We need to abolish the income tax. If you are still not convinced that the federal income tax is an abomination and that we need to abolish it, here are some more shocking facts about our tax system from one of my previous articles about taxes 1 The U.S. tax code is now 3.8 million words long. If you took all of William Shakespeares works and collected them together, the entire collection would only be about 900,000 words long. 2 According to the National Taxpayers Union, U.S. taxpayers spendmore than 7.6 billion hours complying with federal tax requirements. Imagine what our society would look like if all that time was spent on more economically profitable activities. 3 75 years ago, the instructions for Form 1040 were two pages long. Today, they are 189 pages long. 4 There have been 4,428 changes to the tax code over the last decade. It is incredibly costly to change tax software, tax manuals and tax instruction booklets for all of those changes. 5 According to the National Taxpayers Union, the IRS currently has1,999 different publications, forms, and instruction sheets that you can download from the IRS website. 6 Our tax system has become so complicated that it is almost impossible to file your taxes correctly. For example, back in 1998 Money Magazine had 46 different tax professionals complete a tax return for a hypothetical household. All 46 of them came up with a different result. 7 In 2009, PC World had five of the most popular tax preparation software websites prepare a tax return for a hypothetical household. All five of them came up with a different result. 8 The IRS spends $2.45 for every $100 that it collects in taxes. 9 According to The Tax Foundation, the average American has to workuntil April 17th just to pay federal, state, and local taxes. Back in 1900, Tax Freedom Day came on January 22nd. 10 When the U.S. government first implemented a personal income tax back in 1913, the vast majority of the population paid a rate of just 1 percent, and the highest marginal tax rate was just 7 percent. 11 Residents of New Jersey pay $1.64 in taxes for every $1.00 of federal spending that they get back. 12 The United States is the only nation on the planet that tries to tax citizens on what they earn in foreign countries. 13 According to Forbes, the 400 highest earning Americans pay an average federal income tax rate of just 18 percent. 14 Warren Buffett had an effective tax rate of just 17.4 percent for 2010. 15 The top 20 percent of all income earners in the United States payapproximately 86 percent of all federal income taxes. 16 Sadly, as Bill Whittle has shown, you could take every single penny that every American earns above $250,000 and it would only fund about 38 percent of the federal budget. Please share this article with as many people as you can. We have now entered a time of the year when tens of millions of Americans will be filling out their tax returns, and the pain of going through that process will make people even more receptive than normal to the truth about how broken our system is. So what do you think? Do you think that it is fair for the ultra-wealthy and hugely profitable corporations to get away with paying zero taxes while you get hammered? Do you believe that it is time to abolish the income tax? Please feel free to post a comment with your thoughts below This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

3	NASA Announces Incoming CME Likely to Cause a Geomagnetic StormChris Carrington The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) has the following information for the 9th, 10th and 11th January: The risk from flares today stands at 80% for an M-class and 50% for an X-class. Any eruption is most likely to come from somewhere within AR1944, though it has grown so massive its hard to see where AR1943 ends and AR1944 begins. A good explanation of how all these things fit together is provided by NASA: Coronal mass ejections are more likely to have a significant effect on our activities than flares because they carry more material into a larger volume of interplanetary space, increasing the likelihood that they will interact with the Earth. While a flare alone produces high-energy particles near the Sun, some of which escape into interplanetary space, a CME drives a shock wave which can continuously produce energetic particles as it propagates through interplanetary space. When a CME reaches the Earth, its impact disturbs the Earths magnetosphere, setting off a geomagnetic storm. A CME typically takes 3 to 5 days to reach the Earth after it leaves the Sun. Observing the ejection of CMEs from the Sun provides an early warning of geomagnetic storms. Only recently, with SOHO, has it been possible to continuously observe the emission of CMEs from the Sun and determine if they are aimed at the Earth. One serious problem that can occur during a geomagnetic storm is damage to Earth-orbiting satellites, especially those in high,geosynchronous orbits. Communications satellites are generally in these high orbits. Either the satellite becomes highly charged during the storm, and a component is damaged by the high current that discharges into the satellite, or a component is damaged by high-energy particles that penetrate the satellite. We are not able to predict when and where a satellite in a high orbit may be damaged during a geomagnetic storm. Another major problem that has occurred during geomagnetic storms has been the temporary loss of electrical power over a large region. The best known case of this occurred in 1989 in Quebec. High currents in the magnetosphere induce high currents in power lines, blowing out electric transformers and power stations. This is most likely to happen at high latitudes, where the induced currents are greatest, and in regions having long power lines and where the ground is poorly conducting. The damage to satellites and power grids can be very expensive and disruptive. Fortunately, this kind of damage is not frequent. Geomagnetic storms are more disruptive now than in the past because of our greater dependence on technical systems that can be affected by electric currents and energetic particles high in the Earths magnetosphere.

1	Bob Beresford, a tow-truck driver with 11 years of experience at Central Montana Service & Salvage, announced Monday that he has a great idea for a tow-truck movie. Tow-truck driver Beresford. 'I don't know why, but most people really don't have that clear a picture of what tow-trucking is all about,' said the 44-year-old Beresford, standing in front of his 1995 Ford Super Duty. 'They don't realize the integrity, the commitment, the strong sense of duty that go into this work. With Towtruckin', I have a chance to change all that.' Towtruckin', according to Beresford, is 'a classic David-versus-Goliath story.' Its hero, 'Rob Relesford,' is a gifted, idealistic young tow-truck driver trying to make it as an independent operator in the highly competitive world of towing and recovery. Faced with competition from Towco, a massive, multi-state towing corporation, Relesford must choose between continuing to eke out a lonely but proud existence or accepting a well-paid position on the Towco payroll. In the end, the choice is clear. 'At the end of the movie, there's a big, overturned tractor-trailer across the highway, and the hot-shot Towco guys won't move it for insurance-liability reasons,' Beresford said. 'Then, the hero steps forward and tows the wreck off. Not because he's a show-off, but because he has to. It's just what he does.' Beresford said he hasn't fully developed the plot of Towtruckin'. He has, however, worked out certain scenes, such as the one in which Relesford pulls a beautiful waitress' 1984 Sunbird off the median and gallantly refuses to accept payment. 'Rob is a real American hero,' Beresford said. 'He's out there with his wrecker all hours of the day and night, ready to right a tipped truck or haul a stalled vehicle to a mechanic. He's the closest thing to the cowboy we have left these days. But the point is, if something needs to be towed, by God, he'll tow it.' 'To me, that's America in a nutshell,' he added. Though Beresford plans to paint Rob as something of an outlaw, he said the character's actions will always fall on the side of what's right. 'Rob would never tow away an illegally parked car unless it was impeding or inconveniencing honest citizens,' Beresford said. 'And he'd only tow repossessed cars of bad guys and wealthy gangsters, not poor people trying to make ends meet. Rob's like Robin Hood with a winch.' Beresford said he will likely incorporate his own personal experiences into the film. 'There's going to be this old tow-truck driver who serves as Rob's mentor and teaches him everything he knows about tow-trucking,' Beresford said. 'That's based on Red Stampfel, the guy who was boss here when I started in '89,' Beresford said. 'He was like the Yoda of Central Montana Service & Salvage: Boom tow, high-line towing, righting a chassis, Stampfel knew it all. He died of a heart attack in '96. In the movie version, the guy dies, too, but Rob continues to talk to him after he dies.' Added Beresford: 'Also, there'll be this girl who, at first, doesn't get why towing's so important to Rob, but eventually she comes to understand. That, of course, is like [Beresford's wife] Melanie.' Beresford is confident in his vision for Towtruckin', describing it as a 'can't-miss' concept. He does, however, fear that the film could be ruined by studio executives who don't fully 'get it.' 'There's a right way and a wrong way to do this film,' Beresford said. 'One of the wrong ways would definitely be to make a big deal out of the truck. Don't get me wrong, this guy'll have a nice rig, like the three-axle Ford Super Duty I drive at Central Montana. But I could see some Hollywood type putting him in a big 30-foot rollback tower with all these extra hydraulics and a crewcab and that kind of crap. That's not how it should be done. Towtruckin' is all about the tow trucker, not the tow truck.' 
2	This Psychic Predicted 9/11 And Obama Being Elected. You MUST See Her Latest Warning Do you believe in psychics? For years, psychics have had hotlines and television shows where they predict peoples futures and future events. The ancient psychic Nostradamus is claimed to have predicted events from 1,000 years in the future! However, there are still many skeptics. But this womans claims have been proving true, and now people are starting to pay attention to what shes saying. Shes called the Nostradamus of the Balkans. Her name was Baba Venga, and though she died two decades ago, people are still listening to her predictions. It is said that she predicted the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (though she said September 12) and President Obama being elected. This is what people interpreted as her September 11 prediction: Horror, horror! The American brethren will fall after being attacked by the steel birds. The wolves will be howling in a bush and innocent blood will gush. She also predicted that Europe would fall at the hands of Islamist extremists. What do you think? Do her words have any truth to them? 
1	Eagles backup quarterback Michael Vick apologized to fans immediately after his team's 34-14 wild-card loss to the Cowboys Saturday, saying his fumbled handoff attempt late in the first half was 'absolutely the most damning and hurtful act of [his] life.' 'I guess I just thought I could hand the ball off to the fullback without any repercussions, but never in my life have I been so wrong. Never,' a visibly contrite Vick said to the assembled reporters. 'I just want to apologize to my family, friends, and most important, the fans. There are things I have done in my time on this earth that I regret, but this fumble is undeniably the worst.' Eagles fans responded to Vick's statement by saying he was absolutely correct.

1	WASHINGTON, DCIndependent counsel Kenneth Starr's investigation into the behavior of Bill Clinton suffered a major setback Monday, when the embattled president escaped through an air vent minutes before he was to testify before a federal grand jury. President Clinton Clinton's dramatic escape occurred at the William O. Douglas Federal Courthouse, to which he had been subpoenaed for questioning about alleged perjury in the Linda Tripp/Monica Lewinsky affair. Though Starr and other federal prosecutors immediately sounded the building's red alert, touching off a full-scale manhunt for Clinton, the president has not been located as of press time. The air-vent escape took place shortly after 3 p.m., when law-enforcement personnel left Clinton unattended in a waiting room adjacent to the grand-jury chambers, only to discover the president missing upon their return several minutes later. 'At first, we had no idea how he had gotten out,' said Brian Kolterman, one of two federal agents assigned to guard the room in which Clinton was being held. Upon discovering the escape, the two agents reportedly pinwheeled wildly about the room, bewildered because there was no secondary door through which the president could have left. 'It didn't make any sense.' Within minutes, Starr had been apprised of Clinton's escape and demanded an explanation from the two guards. 'We fumbled for something to say, but there was no accounting for the president's disappearance,' Kolterman said. 'But then, Starr looked up toward the ceiling.' An expression of rage, witnesses reported, came over Starr's face as the befuddled agents followed the special investigator's gaze overhead. There, in the middle of the ceiling, a grid panel covering one of the building's ventilation shafts had been removed and was sitting diagonally askew in its casing, as if it had been hastily replaced. 'You fools! He's in the air vent!' Starr shouted at the agents, slamming his fist into his open palm. 'After him!' Added Starr: 'Curses! Just when I thought I had Clinton nailed for perjury, he somehow eludes my grasp yet again!' Exactly what happened after Clinton crawled into the courthouse's labyrinthine network of ventilator ducts is unknown as of press time. However, the president was briefly spotted when a group of reporters playing cards in an unoccupied courtroom noticed plaster falling from the ceiling onto their table, prompting them to look up and see the president's surprised face gazing down at them from a ceiling grate. The reporters immediately opened fire, riddling the ceiling area with questions. When the smoke cleared, however, Clinton was nowhere to be found. FBI agents gather outside Washington, D.C.'s William O. Douglas Federal Courthouse shortly after President Clinton's ventilation-duct escape. 'He apparently secured himself behind a sheet-metal barricade and then must have escaped down a nearby side-hatch,' NBC News reporter Tim Russert said. 'But even still,' Russert continued, 'that doesn't explain how he made it through the booby-trapped pool of electric eels. How does he do it? No other man has ever faced the eels and lived.' Upon learning of the electric eels' defeat at the hands of the president, Starr reportedly cradled their lifeless bodies in his arms, saying through sobs, 'My precious, precious pets... you shall be avenged. Oh, yes, you shall be avenged.' Throughout his presidency, Clinton has shown an uncanny knack for escaping trouble, demonstrating an ability to work his way out of the most seemingly impossible predicaments. In 1992, while campaigning for president, he narrowly averted incriminating allegations about a longterm affair with Gennifer Flowers by grabbing a rope ladder hanging from an overhead helicopter and flying off. In March 1997, he foiled Whitewater prosecutors with an ingenious pocket-sized combination tranquilizer-blowdart/fountain pen. Clinton's most impressive escape, however, came earlier this year, when, stabbed 23 times in the torso and left leg, he avoided implication in numerous campaign-fundraising scandals by diving shirtless into the Potomac River from atop the blazing Democratic Party headquarters, mere moments before the flaming structure exploded. 'Many insiders thought for sure that prosecutors had Clinton that time,' George Washington University political analyst Jonas Mattson said. 'Conventional wisdom held that no human could have survived that deadly plunge. But when Clinton finally surfaced, gripping a dagger between his teeth and waving confidently to cameramen on the scene, the nay-sayers were reduced to such clichs as, 'Curse him! Does this Clinton have nine lives?' Trite as it may sound, perhaps he does.' 
3	The Last Housing Crash Is Not Even Over But Bernanke Is Already Setting The Stage For The Next OneMichael Snyder, Contributor So what did the Fed decide to do to fix things? They decided to push mortgage rates even lower. But even with mortgage rates at exceptionally low levels, new home sales in the United States continue to hover around record lows. Does this look like a housing recovery to you?. Of course we are not experiencing a housing recovery. In order to have a housing recovery, people need to be able to afford to buy homes. And most of the new jobs that our economy is producing are low paying jobs. As I have written about previously, only 24.6 percent of all jobs in America today are good jobs. But if you dont have a good job you cant afford to buy a good house. So unless Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke can somehow magically make millions of good jobs fall from the sky, the truth is that we actually need housing prices to fall so average American families can afford them. When we push families into mortgages that they cannot afford, large numbers of them end up defaulting on those mortgages. As the following chart shows, mortgage delinquencies continue to hover around all-time record highs. Right now mortgage delinquencies are about 5 times higher than they were a decade ago. So the foreclosure nightmare is far from over. There are going to be millions and millions more families that are going to lose their homes eventually. In fact, there are some very troubling signs that things are taking a turn for the worse. -In the state of Illinois, the number of foreclosures is increasing again. -In the state of New York, the number of pre-foreclosure notices has absolutely exploded over the past two years. -In the state of California, mortgage delinquency rates are absolutely frightening. We dont want housing prices to rise until incomes start rising again. We dont want to pump up home values and then get millions more American families to agree to mortgages that they cannot handle. We need homes to be priced at levels that American families can afford, but Bernanke seems to think that rising home prices will solve our problems. And in some areas of the country home prices are actually rising. We are seeing a lot of investors and foreigners come in and pay cash for homes in many of our major cities. Meanwhile, hard working families all over America are wondering why things never seem to work out for them. If Bernanke really wanted to fix the housing market, the following three things would help. 1) Let the free market determine housing prices. Eventually home prices would fall to levels where people could afford them. 2) Stop manipulating mortgage rates and let the free market determine them. Eventually they would settle at a level that is good for both consumers and financial institutions. 3) Tell banks to only make home loans to people that can afford them. But the central planners over at the Federal Reserve are not going to do those things. Instead they are going to keep printing money, keep manipulating interest rates and keep trying to create another housing bubble. The mainstream media insists that QE3 is going to create more jobs, stimulate economic activity and significantly improve the housing market. Of course the first two rounds of quantitative easing did none of those things, but somehow everyone seems to think that by doing the same thing again we will get a different result this time. But what the first two rounds of quantitative easing did accomplish was that they padded the profits of the big banks. And apparently QE3 is already accomplishing that. The following is from a recent CNBC article Bank profits from new mortgages have soared since the Federal Reserve began its third round of bond purchases two weeks ago,fuelingthe debate over the fallout of the latest dose of quantitative easing. The extent to which QE3 drives down new mortgage rates and helps homeowners or is pocketed by banks will be crucial to the success of the policy and the prospects for growth in the U.S. and global economies next year. The big financial institutions always seem to win, and we always seem to lose. Isnt it wonderful? So once millions more American families lose their houses and most of us cant afford to buy homes, where are we supposed to live? Well, I have a few suggestions. You could live in an abandoned automobile factory. You could take over a convenience store and live there. You could build an underground shelter and prepare for the coming financial crisis. You could construct a tree house in the middle of a forest and get away from it all. Does anyone else have any other suggestions? This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

3	The Fight Over Operation Fast and Furious Records Is Not OverBy Derrick Broze Operation Fast and Furious was a program in which the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) knowingly sold guns to Mexican drug cartels. The program was first exposed in 2011 when it was revealed that weapons from the program were involved in the murder of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry. According to a report in the Los Angeles Times: The term gun walking is central to the failure of Fast and Furious. Agents with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives purposely allowed licensed firearms dealers to sell weapons to illegal straw buyers, hoping to track the guns to Mexican drug cartel leaders and arrest them. But they lost track of more than 2,000 weapons, and the Mexican government says some of them have turned up at about 170 crime scenes there. In 2012, the House of Representatives voted to hold then-Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for his refusal to hand over documents related to the operation. These documents likely indicate Attorney General Eric Holder knew more than he admitted while under oath. On June 20, 2012, President Obama exercised executive privilege to keep the documents secret. The Obama administration has been fighting the release of Fast and Furious records since that time. Courthouse News reports: Faced with an investigation by Congress, the Justice Department initially sent a letter to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee denying that guns had been allowed to walk across the border. It later informed Congress that the letter was incorrect. The committee sued Holder when he withheld some records it wanted regarding the DOJs initial denial. Watchdog group Judicial Watch sued the DOJ seeking the settlement discussions from the House Committee lawsuit. The DOJ said they could not release the documents and based their argument on a comment from Judge Amy Berman Jackson. During the committee case the settlement discussions were brought up and Judge Jackson responded by saying, I dont know what you said. I dont want to know. U.S. District Judge Richard Leon agreed with the DOJ and blocked the release of the documents. However, on Friday February 12 a three-judge panel ruled that Judge Jacksons statement does not seem to indicate that the information should be kept private. Although the judges agreed that Judge Jacksons statement prevented the release of information only to her, they stated that a broader bar, if any, would have to be inferred for it is not explicit. The Department offers a good reason Judge Jackson might have wanted to prohibit disclosure to third-parties because protection from disclosure promotes more open dialogue during settlement but there is no extrinsic evidence that was what the judge intended; indeed, that concern is nowhere mentioned in the record in this case, and it is equally plausible that Judge Jackson wanted simply to preserve her objectivity in case she ultimately were to preside over a trial, Judge Douglas Ginsburg wrote for a three-judge panel. The decision will now go back to Judge Jackson where she must clarify what she intended with her statement. Jackson was also involved in another contentious decision involving the Fast and Furious program. In January Anti Media reported that Jackson ruled that President Obama cannot use executive privilege to deny Congress access to records related to Fast and Furious. Jackson stated that the Department of Justices prior release of information related to Fast and Furious invalidated President Obamas claim that releasing details of the program would cause harm. The Department itself has already publicly revealed the sum and substance of the very material it is now seeking to withhold. Since any harm that would flow from the disclosures sought here would be merely incremental, the records must be produced, Jackson wrote. Jackson is referencing a September 2012 report from the Justice Departments Office of Inspector General regarding the Fast and Furious program. The amount of effort the Obama Administration is expending to fight the release of these documents should alarm every American. Obama has less than a year left in office and he does not want the public to understand the true extent of this program. Although the program started under the Bush Administration it was continued by Obama, and under his watch criminals (Eric Holder) will be allowed to go free. Its up to the free hearts and minds of this land to organize and remove consent from this failed system. Image Credit Derrick Broze is an investigative journalist and liberty activist.

This article may be freely reposted in part or in full with author attribution and source link. fast and Furious did NOT start under Bush-that was operation wide receiver and not connected in any way to FF,it was done with the knowledge and consent of the Mexican government,and was stopped prior to Obamas election in 08. This mess is crawling through the system and Obama and Holder will pay sooner or later if this judge is interested in the truth. Itll never happen. Politicians always go free. You make a strong point, but if Trump is self funded, he can boldly go where no man has gone before? A program similar to Fast and Furious did go forward under the Bush administration in 2006 and 2007. That program, called Operation Wide Receiver, also attempted to track suspicious weapons. Allowing gun sales to go forward even when the ATF had probable cause to believe the sales were unlawful has come to be known as gun walking. The two operations Fast and Furious and Wide Receiver had some similarities, and both were run out of the ATFs Phoenix Field Division. The inspector general explored both programs in depth and found similar problems. Why isnt Operation Wide Receiver, where hundreds of guns disappeared, also merit investigation? The Mexican Mafia (cartels) have enough money, that they dont need to buy one gun at a time from gun shops in US..They can Buy BULK on the Black Market. ::f220Work At Home.Special Report.Earn 18k+ per monthfew days ago new McLaren.

1	Suggesting that he might be able to pull a few strings at the admissions desk, a friend who works as a cashier at the Milwaukee History Museum confirmed Monday that he could probably get you in for free. If you can get here before 3:30 and come in through the north entrance, Im pretty sure I can hook you up as long as you dont bring a bunch of people, said the friend, emphasizing that while general admission would be on the house, you would most likely have to pay to enter the French Fur Traders Exhibit, as that particular area requires a separate ticket. It has to be Monday or Wednesday when Karen is working the front desk. If George is on duty, itll be a lot trickier. Worst-case scenario, I can meet you outside and slip you a wristband. At press time, the friend sent a text message urging you to swing by soon to check out the retrospective Solomon Juneau: Milwaukees First Mayor before it closes at the end of the month. 
1	After weeks of debate over their collective nickname, Lebron James, Chris Bosh, and Dwyane Wade announced yesterday that the newly formed all-star trio would call themselves the Three-Headed Shitstorm. 'It was between the Three-Headed Shitstorm, Miami's Mighty Three-Way, Category 3 Hurricane Fuckface, and Super NBA Friends, which was LeBron's idea that nobody liked,' Wade said during an interview with ESPN, adding that the group's first choice, the King Cobra Super Shit Snakes of South Beach, was overruled by Heat president Pat Riley. 'We eventually settled on the Three-Headed Shitstorm because there are three of us, and when opponents play against us it's like all this shit is going to be coming at them from every direction. It also has something to do with three-headed dragons.' At press time, James was still trying to get the nickname changed to either the Justice Basketball League of America or Three Cool Guys.

1	Updating the dietary guide to reflect current U.S. eating habits, the Department of Agriculture announced Monday that it has added a 'fixin's' food group to the USDA Food Pyramid. 'We recommend five to eight daily servings from the fixin's group, which includes such hearty sides as cole slaw, mashed potatoes, steak fries, baked beans, and mac 'n' cheese,' Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman said. 'So go ahead and treat yourself to all the fixin's you want. They're not only free, they're recommended.' Also falling within the fixin's group, Veneman said, are burger toppings, including fried onions, cheese sauce, and bacon-smothered mushrooms. 
3	Report: Prisoner X leaked info on Mossad operations, including one in Italy, to Australian intelligenceMadison Ruppert Recently, it was reported that the Israeli government silenced media over the apparent suicide of Zygier in Israeli custody while yesterday it was also reported that Australia is seeking information from Israel on his death. Some of the leaked information included plans for a major classified mission in Italy that had been years in the making, according to theABC. The ABC notes that it is unclear who initiated the contact, but unnamed sources stated that on one of the four trips back to Australia before he died in 2010 he applied for a work visa to Italy. The ABCs Foreign Correspondent program reported just last week that Zygier, who also went by Alon, Allen and Burrowes, was secretly jailed in Israels Ayalon prison in Ramle where after 10 months it is claimed he committed suicide. The wording of the ABCs report seems to cast doubt on the suicide claim, although little is known since, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed the threats his country faces justify the extraordinary measures and the secrecy shrouding the case, according to the New York Times. Indeed, Israels service went above and beyond to conceal Zygiers incarceration, even preventing reporting on the issue for some two years. According to the ABC, Zygier was one of three Australian Jews who changed their names several times, taking out new passports for travel in the Middle East and Europe in their work for Mossad. Zygiers activities were numerous, according to the report, including the establishment of a communications company in Europe for Mossad, employing two other Australian dual citizens, which exported electronic components to Arab countries and Iran. Zygier frequently returned to Australia with his wife and children and at once point came into contact with ASIO, which according to the ABC, led Mossad to be concerned. Mossad was worried he might pass on operational methods and secrets of the organization, including information about the major Mossad operation planned for Italy, according to the ABC. The involvement of ASIO in this thoroughly mysterious story is quite interesting since Israeli intelligence and Australian intelligence have been far from friendly since 2010. After Australia expelled an Israeli diplomat in 2010 when an investigation concluded that Australian passports were used in a suspected Mossad operation to assassinate Palestinian arms trader Mahmoud Mabhouh, according to the ABC, the relationship went quickly downhill. Yesterday Netanyahu made his first public remarks on the coverage of the incident, most of which called for the press to ease off the issue. In this combination of maintaining security and abiding by the law, freedom of speech is also maintained, but overexposure of security and intelligence activity can damage, sometimes even seriously damage, national security, Netanyahu said, according to the Washington Post. We are not like other countries, Netanyahu continued. We are more threatened, more challenged, and therefore we must maintain proper activity of our security agencies, so I ask everyone let the security forces carry on their work quietly so we can continue living in security and tranquility in the state of Israel. A top secret Israeli investigation into Zygiers death ended just two months ago concluding that it was indeed a suicide while Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr is going to release his own inquiry into Zygiers death. According to the ABC, Carrs report is expected to outline to some extent which agencies knew what of the arrest and death of Zygier, and how the Department of Foreign Affairs managed the case. Meanwhile, Australian Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus said that he does not see the need to conduct an inquiry into his department or Australian intelligence agencies over Zygiers death, according to the Australian. We want to give them an opportunity to submit to us an explanation of how this tragic death came about, Carr said. It remains to be seen if and how Israel will comply with the inquiry.

3	The Completely Insane Cost of Federal Regulations: $2 TRILLIONMelissa Melton The New American has released a new video breaking down The Competitive Enterprise Institutes annual Ten Thousand Commandments report which has concluded that federal regulations cost the economy $1.863 trillion in fiscal year 2013 alone! As New Americans William F. Jasper noted, The average family, with an average income of $65,596, will pay $15,000 in regulatory costs, or about a quarter of the familys income, buried in the prices of everything they consume. Those figures are so ridiculous, they might literally make your eyeballs pop out of your head. Think thats an incorrect use of the word literally? Not according to the updated definition of literally which says that it can be used correctly if the use is for pure hyperbole to gain emphasis, regardless of how unnecessary that emphasis might be to make the point. Think thats upside down and backwards to use the word literally when something clearly isnt literal? So is the 79,311 pages the federal regulations now take up in the Federal Register. Heres that video: Melissa Melton is a writer, researcher, and analyst for The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared, 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! 
2	Will Smith Makes HUGE Donation To Islam Group With Ties To Terrorism Will Smith just made a $150,000 donation to the Nation of Islam, Minister Louis Farrakhan announced. This is a group with close ties to the Black Panthers, a terrorist group that is open about its hate for white people. It is rumored that Will Smith was a Scientology member, but it looks like he may have switched sides. Farrakhan supports hate violence against white people and police officers. Do you think Will Smith has lost it?

'Your Myers Briggs score suggests you would do well in a variety of job fields,' Schecht told Clinton. 'You could be anything from an architect to a food scientist, but your strong people skills indicate you would make an ideal hotel manager.' To learn more about the field, Schecht recommended that Clinton set up informational interviews at some Washington-area hotels, as well as complete the exercises in the book What Color Is Your Parachute?

'Patrick's enthusiasm and passion for life touched all who knew him,' the obituary read. 'Whether waiting in line overnight for Kid Rock tickets or checking his car's oil level, Patrick showed an unshakable determination and insatiable curiosity, both of which will forever live on in our hearts and minds.' Other items mentioned as being loved by Pryde included video games, the Internet, and cable television. 
2	BREAKING: The Results Are In... This Is The Moment We Have All Been Waiting For For the past few months, the mainstream media has been trying to convince the American people that Donald Trump does not stand a chance in winning the presidential election. Thats why it came as a shock when the Fox News Editorial Scorecard revealed that key states are shifting in Trumps direction. The Fox News Decision Team announced the following changes to the scoreboard last week: New Hampshire moves from lean Democrat to toss-up Clinton still holds an advantage over Trump is the race, but that lead is shrinking each day. If Clinton is able to win all 15 states that are either leaning toward or are solidly Democrat, shell have more than the 270 votes she needs to win. If Trump wins all the states that are leaning toward or are solidly GOP and the toss-up states, he will end up just 15 votes short of 270. In order to win the election, Trump needs to win over the crucial states of North Carolina, Michigan or Pennsylvania. 
2	Whoopi Goldbergs Career Is Over After What She Just Pulled Ever since he secured the presidency, Donald Trump has been under attack by liberal talk show hostswith Whoopi Goldberg topping that list. She seems to go after Trump on a daily basis on The View, so its no surprise that she went after him this week with the claims that were made in the dossier Russia allegedly had on him. This move has already come back to bite her in a major way. On Wednesday, the women on the show opened by discussing the compromising personal and financial information Russia is rumored to have had on Trump. Of course, true to her classless style, Whoopi threw in some disgusting jokes. Now we cant get into specifics, she warned the audience, but I do have to ask because hes being showered with allegations right now, is this a golden opportunity for Democrats or will he be able to clean up these leaks? Whoopi then tried to blame the story on conservatives and the way they handled Obamas presidency and Hillarys campaign. The saddest thing about all of this is people jumped on what they thought was happening with Hillary Clinton without any factual information, she continued. Theyre giving this a pass, saying its not really real. Heres the deal, Im taking it like it might be real and I dont want you compromising my country for your gain. Im not happy with that. Of course, since the segment aired, these claims have been exposed as fake newsmeaning that Whoopi ended up looking like a complete idiot. Americans have already taken to social media begging her to get off the air once and for all. 
1	Seeking to continue his longstanding tradition of cracking wise during NFL telecasts, die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan Glenn Patek, 34, has already begun brainstorming quips for the team's Dec. 8 game against the Houston Texans. Patek works on some new zingers. 'The Steelers play the awful expansion Texans, so you'd think I'd have an easy time of it,' said Patek, who watches most Steelers games with friends at the Bluegill Bucket, a local tavern. 'But in reality, having a big, fat target like Houston makes it tougher, because there's the temptation to resort to lazy, obvious jokes. I'd be letting Dave, Graham, Carlos, Jeannie, Tucker, Christine, and all the rest down if I resorted to obvious stuff. When you're playing a team that's dead-last in the NFL in total offense, you've got to get pretty creative.' Patek, who cites the dry, erudite style of ESPN anchor Kenny Mayne as his primary quipping influence, began preparing for Sunday's game by logging onto the Houston Texans' official web site. 'I've already got a bunch of stuff planned out,' Patek said. 'Unlike a lot of teams, there isn't a single marquee player on the entire Texans defense. So whenever a player makes a tackle, I can say, 'Man, that guy's almost good enough to play for Florida State.' Or if they throw the ball to, say, Jabar Gaffney, I could say, 'Well, you know what they say: Throw the ball to Gaffney a few hundred times, and he's eventually gonna burn you.' Or, if you can't think of anything else, you can always just sarcastically praise their 'vaunted punting game.'' 'I'm also working on a joke where I say that the Texans coaches give out those little helmet stickers whenever somebody makes a clutch play,' Patek continued. 'Then, when somebody at the bar points out that none of the players have any stickers, I'll say that nobody's made a big play yet.' Complicating Patek's job this week is the serious injury suffered by Pittsburgh quarterback Tommy Maddox during the team's Nov. 17 game against the Tennessee Titans. 'Kordell Stewart may end up starting at quarterback, and I've pretty much run through every Kordell joke in the book over the years,' said Patek, poring over the USA Today sports page. 'Do I joke about how he could get yanked in favor of a guy with a concussion and spinal-cord injury? I could, but I'd have to be careful.' In addition to the Steelers-Texans game, Patek is preparing jokes for Sunday's other matchups. 'We'll probably watch Falcons-Bucs, which should be pretty good,' Patek said. 'You can always count on someone looking dumb trying to tackle Michael Vick, or how every sportscaster loves John Lynch and Mike Alstott just because they're 'throwback' white guys. And, if I still have some steam, I'll probably invite everyone back to my place to watch the Packers-Vikes game at 8:30. Favre always gives you something to work with.' Sunday regulars at the Bluegill Bucket say Patek is always a big part of their football-viewing experience. 'Every once in a while, he'll say something that'll actually make you laugh,' bar patron Tami Neff said. 'I liked it when Jerry Rice caught a pass last week, and the announcers were talking about how he was the oldest receiver ever in the NFL, and Glenn said, 'When 600 years old you are, so good you will catch, hmmm?' like Yoda from Star Wars. I have to admit, I laughed, even though he made the exact same joke about Cris Carter a couple weeks before.'

Bulone remains unaware that he knows all the words to Chad Kroeger's 'Hero.' 
2	Plethora Of Lies Unravels About Obama, This Is Finally Enough To Get Him Impeached Despite the many, many questions about his morals and character, the liberal media has stood firmly behind Barack Obama. It seems they are extraordinarily resistant to do any digging into the Presidents back story. Thats unfortunate, given that Americans deserve answers. And were sick of being lied to. According to reports, as many as eight claims in Obamas personal biography have been proven false. Here they are: 1) President Obama made claims that his uncle helped to liberate Auschwitz during World War II, but the story did not track with historical accounts. What do you think? Are you sick of the president lying to us about his background? Are you ready for the truth?

1	Literary scholars announced Monday that they have unearthed a 33-page handwritten manuscript of 'The Camera-Phone,' a short story believed to have been written in 1874 by French novelist Jules Verne, the man often considered to be the originator of modern science fiction. Jules Verne, 18281905. 'The discovery of this highly prophetic work is exciting in both a literary and a social context,' Jean-Michel Frelseien of the Ecole-Polytechnique said Monday. 'This story of a hand-held communications and picture-taking device that leads to social upheaval in 21st-century France provides yet another example of Verne's celebrated prescience.' 'Le Telephon-Photographique,' which Frelseien identified as having been written just after Verne's masterpiece 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, is narrated by Gui Cingulaire, the nephew of brilliant but monomaniacal professor Bernard Cingulaire. An ambitious, gifted scientist, Bernard fails to predict that his invention, a portable telephone that can take photographs and send short script messages, will contribute to the breakdown of traditional manners among Parisians. Frelseien said the manuscript was found among the belongings of Verne's publisher, Pierre-Jules Hertzel, along with an uncompleted letter rejecting the work as 'pessimistic, preposterous, and unappealing in premise.' 'Verne's view of a 21st-century Paris overrun by camera-phone-toting nabobs is indeed dismal,' Frelseien said. 'But in all of its particulars, the story is classic Verne. The main character is a strong-minded and brilliant scientist-inventor, symbolizing the ambition and drive of the Industrial Age. The clever but wide-eyed narrator's breathless appetite for knowledge pulls the reader along. And the technological centerpiece of the storyas usual, powered by Verne's beloved electricitysets the stage for conflict between the characters.' A drawing included with the manuscript for 'The Camera-Phone.' 'Where the story departs from a typical Verne piece, however, is in the level of devastation wrought by the innovation,' Frelseien added. 'The infuriated victims of the camera-phone-dominated society eventually put all of Europe to the torch.' The story, which has yet to be translated into English, has been lauded by literary scholars around the world. 'It's an absolutely wonderful and engaging piece of work,' Harvard professor of French literature Neil McGraw said. 'Professor Cingulaire, a noted eccentric, is convinced by his unscrupulous creditors to patent and market his long-distance-communications and image-transmission device, in spite of his misgivings. At first, use of the phone is prevalent only among the bourgeois, but it soon spreads throughout social strata.' As use of the device becomes commonplace, McGraw said, normal societal relations between citizens break down. 'Rudeness becomes ubiquitous, as the device's infuriating notification-chimes invade every corner of public life,' McGraw said. 'When the ethically bereft begin transmitting images obtained under questionable circumstances, espionage becomes so prevalent as to threaten the integrity of the French populace.' Frelseien and other scholars at the Ecole-Polytechnique are searching for other unpublished stories mentioned in the recently recovered papers, including 'The Massaging-Chair,' 'Incident At A Caf Of Thinking-Machines,' and 'The Satellite Initiative For Strategic Defense.'

3	Gold Backed Russian Ruble, Chinese Yuan Primed to Destroy U.S. Dollar as Global Reserve CurrencyBy Jay Syrmopoulos The dollar was established as the global reserve currency in 1944 with the Bretton Woods agreement, commonly referred to as the gold standard. The U.S. leveraged itself into this power position by holding the largest reserve of gold in the world. The dollar was pegged at $35 an ounce and freely exchangeable into gold. By the 1960s, a surplus of U.S. dollars caused by foreign aid, military spending, and foreign investment threatened this system, as the U.S. did not have enough gold to cover the volume of dollars in worldwide circulation at the rate of $35 per ounce; as a result, the dollar was overvalued. America temporarily embraced a new paradigm in 1971, as the dollar became a pure fiat currency (decoupled from any physical store of value), until the petrodollar agreement was concluded by President Nixon in 1973. The quid pro quo was that Saudi Arabia would denominate all oil trades in U.S. dollars, and in return, the U.S. would agree to sell Saudi Arabia military hardware and guarantee the defense of the Kingdom. According to a report that appeared in the Huffington Post: As a result of this agreement, the dollar then became the only medium in which energy exchange could be transacted. This underpinned its reserve currency status through the need for foreign governments to hold dollars; recirculated the dollar costs of oil back into the U.S. financial system and crucially made the dollar effectively convertible into barrels of oil. The dollar was moved from a gold standard onto a crude oil standard. U.S. interest rates were then managed so that oil exporters (who formerly looked to gold as the basis of their reserves) would be indifferent to whether they stored their currency reserves, earned from oil exports, in U.S. treasuries, or in gold. The value was equivalent. In what may ultimately wind up being the death blow to the petrodollar, since 2008, the U.S. government has maintained a policy of zero interest rates and quantitative easing. Once energy producers became aware of the U.S. economic dependence on low-interest rates, they understood that they would never again be able to regulate the price of oil relative to U.S. treasuries. Anything more than a nominal hike in interest rates would effectively implode the global financial system, as the U.S. had become too financialized. The petrodollar system, which had allowed the U.S. dollar to replace gold as the backing for the oil trade from 1973-2002, was essentially broken. With no regard for the underlying systemic weakness of the entire petrodollar system the U.S. began to rely heavily on economic sanctions as a means of forcing geopolitical capitulation. It was virtually inevitable that potential targets of such actions would eventually attempt to mitigate these hegemonic actions by the U.S. Although essentially a response to the aggressive posture of the West, these economic actions have potentially created an environment ripe to put the final nail in the coffin of the petrodollar. In the greatest of irony, central banks from states such as China, Russia and Brazil, which vehemently oppose an interventionist U.S. foreign policy, ultimately finance the U.S. war machine by purchasing U.S. Treasury debt as a means of protecting their economies. But in what appears to be an effort to hedge against U.S. imperialism, both China and Russia have become big buyers of physical gold. Russias present gold reserves would back 27 percent of the ruble money supply, according to the Huffington Post. That ratio is far in excess of the U.S. Feds original stipulated gold coverage minimum, as well as in exceeding that of any other major country. In addition, Russia is typically is a net exporter of goods and energy, so their gold reserves are likely to continue to increase. A report on Chinas gold reserves appeared in the Financial Times, stating: China ended years of speculation about its official gold holdings by revealing an almost 60 percent jump in its reserves since 2009. The countrys central bank said its gold reserves were 1,658 tonnes (53.31 million fine troy ounces) as of the end of June. In April 2009, reserves were 1,054 tonnes. The purchases show how China is seeking to diversify its reserves away from the US dollar at a time when the price of gold has fallen to near its lowest price since 2010. In 2014 Russia and China signed two mammoth 30-year contracts for Russian gas to China. The contracts specified that the exchange would be done in Renminbi [yuan] and Russian rubles, not in dollars. That was the beginning of an accelerating process of de-dollarization that is underway today, strategic risk consultant F. William Engdahl writes in his article for New Eastern Outlook. Russia and China are now creating a new paradigm for the world economy and paving the way for a global de-dollarization. A Russian-Chinese alternative to the dollar in the form of a gold-backed ruble and gold-backed Renminbi or yuan, could start a snowball exit from the US dollar, and with it, a severe decline in Americas ability to use the reserve dollar role to finance her wars with other peoples money, Engdahl concludes.

Problem is, the implosion of the current system has been engineered, baked in the cake, to force humanity into TPTBs 1984-esque techno control system (no usury, rather, absolute control). This current system (central banking) as you call it has been in effect since the early 1800s, and it aint going away! You have good point, the international banker cabal is set to rule the Technocracy paradigm too. What they intend to change is the [crony] capitalism model, moving almost entirely away from any kind of free market economic system. The formal Technocracy movement emerged in the 1930s, a totalitarian energy based rationing system that at one point had over 500,000 members. Conceptually is was an outgrowth of the elites early 1900s Scientific Society but fizzled out because the technology was lacking. As an elite construct it emerged again with Brzezinskis 1970s Technotronic Era program with China being pegged as a model experimental technocracy, which is largely what we see today, first in Singapore (check out a 2002 PBS Computer Chronicles episode on Singapore on youtube) and heavy control and monitoring such as the Social Credit Score system throughout China. This all ties into, carbon taxes, Smart Meters, Smart: Grid, Cities, Countries, and Regions, 2030 Agenda, and Agenda 21, etc. If you want more background look into Patrick Woods book, websites, articles, and interviews on the net. In the link is a quick overview and simple primer posted by a blog that doesnt require free registration but its best to investigate Woods work directly for more background. anationbeguiled.wordpress.com/2013/12/04/carbon-currency-a-new-beginning-for-technocracy/ We already know what game plan is. Russia and China are already under the NWO thumb and bowing to the draconian 2030 Agenda. The BRICs are IMF/BIS controlled and, at this point in time, are teetering on economic chaos more than the US. Why use hyped up language and out of context narratives? Russia can back 27% of its rubles with gold at $1,070, which means Russia can back 100% of its rubles when gold is correctly valued at $4,000 or more. Well within reach! And that $4000 figure for gold is to be reached in when, 2215? Gold would reach $4,000 an ounce by 2215 if it increased just 1.82% a year for the next 200 years, but I think the US will see $4,000 much sooner. The US had been printing a trillion dollars a year and may now be printing a trillion a month to cover Wall Street banks that underwrote oil hedges. What is happening today is right out of Zimbabwes Robert Mugabes playbook. Forget getting education to make sense out of this. Try common sense! You cant print trillions of dollars backed by nothing and based on nothing and have those dollar worth MORE. Cant unless you own the Great Corporate American Propaganda machine and can force illusions down the throats of Dumbed Down Americans? I did! Gold never worth more than the buyer is willing to pay. China will exchange essential goods for Gold only at a rate that makes sense. Isaiah 5: Why are you repeating this ancient nonsense ? U.S. Fiat, Fear/faith based funny money has already gone in the direction of the other Fiat money of this world, Zimbabwe Bucks the most recent. Just look to real estate and the value of a single dwelling from its build date to todays price. Same with cars. Christ was the Master Builder, and he has laid the foundation for others to build upon. Capitalism has always been prone to chaos. The profit of some means the loss of many. I just started laughing when I read the headline! a threatened dollar, which is the only investment that hasnt gone down Relative to what? By what standard? You are measuring meters in pounds here! in the American mind all others of value float around an absolute dollar?

2	Court Brings Justice To Muslim Woman For Lying About Hate Crime A Muslim teenager is in trouble with the courts for lying about a hate crime. She said that she was punched in the face because she was wearing a hijab in the days following the Paris attacks. Student Miss Choudhury, 18, said that she was knocked to the floor, and that several others were attacked as well. Heres what she said: I feel shocked and really scared that someone could attack you for no reason. I dont feel safe at all now. I was walking to the train station to meet some friends when someone shoved me from behind. When I turned around he punched me in the face and then just went off. I was really upset afterwards. I can only think it was because he saw my hijab as he didnt take my bag or anything After police monitored the camera footage of the exact place Miss Choudhury said she was attacked, they discovered that she had lied. They then fined her 90 pounds. Do you think she deserves a harsher punishment for the damage she was trying to cause?

2	Message To Ferguson Protesters: THIS Is Why You Dont Come To Texas [VIDEO] In Dallas Texas, the Ferguson protesters are at it again desperate for media attention, they attempted to block interstate highway I-35 around 9:00 pm. Causing problems to the drivers, most of which were heading home after a hard day at work. It only took 20 minutes for officers to remove them off the interstate. The police assembled within what felt like a matter of seconds. Only six people were detained for not getting off of the highway when old to do so. They tried to get a reaction out of police by screaming profanities at them. But it did little to nothing, officers outnumbered them and had them off of the highway within minutes. Outstanding job Texas police.

3	Job Available With 20 Weeks Vacation Per Year Interested?Brandon Pierce, Contributor Well, if you answered in the affirmative, todays your lucky day. There are jobs available that fit this description. You need to get together a team and promote yourself, because the job you are looking for is being a Congressman for the United States of America. Want to hear something amazing? In 2011, a Congressman actually bragged about Congress being in session for 32 weeks. An incredible workload. Its easy to see why this happens. After all, theres nothing in particular going on in the world that might demand their attention. Fortunately for Americas leaders, world events, the economy, and a plethora of other issues regularly pause. Sometimes for months at a time. Its just good business. Might as well send Congress home. Were just wasting our money paying them for nothing during all these dead world event times. After all, they do get paid by the hour, right? Lets keep payroll down by cutting back when we dont need them around. Because there are people in the U.S. that are not aware of what the Democratic and Republican parties are all about. We must raise more money so we can spread the message to them, because there is no Internet, radio, television, or people walking around talking about it to spread it automatically. That money is critical and certainly they need the time off to go out and make that money for such a noble and worthy cause. So, if you are a person who cherishes your time off, maybe you should consider running for office. We are looking for applicants who are not afraid to tell a lie in a pinch, dont mind walking out when the job is left undone, frequently no-show to work, and dont mind looking like a general asshole to all of those around them. Oh yeah, and you must be willing to beg and grovel for money. If you fit these qualifications, please by all means, run for Congress. If not, just stand aside and let these fine, upstanding individuals continue to represent you. They have certainly proven that they deserve it, and their time off.

2	Dog The Bounty Hunter Just Got Hit With Some Devastating News... He Needs Your Support According to recent reports, a fellow fugitive seeker just filed a $30 million lawsuit against Dog the Bounty Hunter. Reports indicate that Charles Fisher is claiming that both his reputation and his bounty hunting business were destroyed after he appeared on an episode of Dog and his wife Beths show. During the episode, Fisher was described as a corrupt businessman. Now, hes claiming that editing told a false story, making it look like he made off with $20,000 million. Fisher also claims that he was made to look like he was ripping off his insurance company. It should be noted that Fisher was already filing for bankruptcy when he filmed the episode. Now, hes claiming that the program is responsible for the demise of his business. What do you think? Do you support Dog and Beth? Is Fisher a total fraud? 
2	Christian Woman Fired For Doing THIS To Her Muslim CoNearly two years ago, a 38-year-old British woman named Victoria Wasteney became a major source of controversy after praying on behalf of her 25-year-old colleague, Enya Nawaz, who was facing serious health conditions. Wasteney also offered to take Nawaz to church, and gave her a book about a Muslim woman who converted to Christianity. These actions resulted in her being fired from her job with the East London NHS Foundation Trust, pending a disciplinary investigation. Even after the investigation ended, she received a writing warning for misconduct. Now, Wasteney is claiming that they discriminated against her because of her religion. We discussed our beliefs but I certainly didnt tell her that my way was the only way, Wasteney told reporters of her interactions with Nawaz. But the way it was all handled left me looking like a religious nutcase and I would like acknowledgement that there is a negative attitude towards Christianity in some areas of the public sector. Wasteney claims that her only intention was to help and support her coworker, not to convert her to Christianity. Now, some worry that the court has set a precedent making it illegal for anyone to express or discuss their religion beliefs at work. What do you think? Do you support Wasteneys rights to pray for and support her coworker? 
3	Militarized Police Occupy Myrtle Beach Bike WeekBrandon Turbeville Despite the citys dependence on tourism, most residents and business owners generally dread the event year after year. Between the police and the crime, Black Bike Week is a great reason to get out of town if you live in Myrtle Beach. Yet, while nonsensical violence has come to be expected at the rally year after year, the spate of shootings that occurred during this past event, Memorial Day Weekend 2014, has made national headlines. With three people being killed at a hotel early on, new reports surrounding the shootings were barely off the presses before another shooting took place, injuring two people at a Myrtle Beach resort. Yet the real story is not so much the shootings (although anti-gun fanatics have predictably latched on to them) or even the investigative response of law enforcement. Instead, the story might be the militarized presence of police stationed in Myrtle Beach which should remove all doubt that civilian policing has been turned into military occupation. This is because many of the police stationed in and around the Myrtle Beach area during the bike rally could scarcely be distinguished from National Guard troops or regular Army soldiers. Indeed, what is the purpose of camoflauge fatigues? This is Myrtle Beach, not a battlefield covered in green foliage. And why should the police be attempting to hide anyway? Clearly, the officers in the photographs desire to be seen by virtue of their visible presence in the streets. Of course, the military-style uniforms are there to acclimate the police as much as anyone else. Police are increasingly trained to not only see the average American as an occupied people, but to see themselves as the occupiers. Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of citizens attending the rally did not even notice the militarized nature of the police. Although, as stated above, the bike rally clearly calls for extra police power on the ground, the deployment of militarized police is not only a step too far, it is just another sad example of how far the United States has fallen into the designation of a police state.

2	Why President George W. Bush Never Left The White House Until The Day After Christmas Well, the Obamas are off once again on their lavish annual trip to Hawaii. Were sure that they will spare no expense as it pertains to American tax dollars. In stark contrast, White House journalist has just revealed that former President George W. Bush never left Washington D.C. for his Christmas vacation until the day after Christmas. The decision was a strategic one made by George and Laura. I still remember what she said, Curl wrote. So all of us can be with our families on Christmas. The us she is referring to is the hundreds and hundreds of service agents, staff, and police officers, who have families and lives and vacations of their own. The move was incredibly classy, and you can bet that the Obamas never even thought of it. This president would never delay his trip to his island getaway, Curl wrote. Hes off every year well before Christmas. Hundreds and hundreds head off with him, leaving family behind. No Christmas at home. Instead, the Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort. Nice, but not exactly home. What do you think? Do we need a real leader in the White House once again? Someone who represents American values? 
2	Black Lives Matter Protesters Caught Doing Something Disturbing To The American Flag [VIDEO] In the few weeks after the anniversary of Michael Browns death, Black Lives Matter protesters have reappeared throughout the country. This time, theyre going to new extremes. According to reports, a group of protesters gathered in Florida this weekend after hearing that a Confederate flag rally was going to take place. When the group of more than 200 confederate flag supporters arrived at Plantation Heritage Park, they were met by a group of angry protesters aggressively blocking traffic. Infowars reports that the group then went on to wipe their butts with the flag. The protesters were also waving signs with messages like F*ck Your Heritage and Racist Pigs. They were heard shouting F*ck your flag. Watch the video below and tell us what you think? Did this group go way too far? 
3	Tennessee Governor Will Veto Ag-Gag Billselfnews Post The bill HB 1191/SB 1248 passed the General Assembly this session and would go into effect July 1st if Haslam signed it into law. Instead, Haslam is so concerned that the law would make it more difficult to prosecute genuine animal abuse cases, which of course is what its intended to do, that hes decided to veto the measure. Haslams decision is also influenced by the Tennessees attorney generals office who called the bill Constitutionally suspect. Agriculture is the No. 1 industry in Tennessee. Farmers play a vital role in our states economy, heritage and history. I understand their concerns about large scale attacks on their livelihoods. I also appreciate that the types of recordings this bill targets may be obtained at times under false pretenses, which I think is wrong, Haslam said. First, the Attorney General says the law is constitutionally suspect. Second, it appears to repeal parts of Tennessees Shield Law without saying so. If that is the case, it should say so. Third, there are concerns from some district attorneys that the act actually makes it more difficult to prosecute animal cruelty cases, which would be an unintended consequence. For these reasons, I am vetoing HB1191/SB1248, and I respectfully encourage the General Assembly to reconsider this issue. RELATED ACTIVIST POST ARTICLE: Read other articles by selfnews Post Here 
3	Hawai`i May Become First State in US To Decriminalize All DrugsBy Claire Bernish [D]espite a longstanding policy that enforces illicit drug prohibition and imposes some of the worlds harshest penalties for drug possession and sales, illicit drug use in the United States has been increasing, states aresolution that passed, amended by the Hawai`i House Judiciary Committee on Thursday. Now that its been approved, the studys findings will be due later this year, no later than 20 days prior to the convening of the legislatures 2017 session. According to testimony from the Legislative Reference Bureau Acting Director, Charlotte A. Carter-Yamauchi, the study will reference Portugals successful decriminalization with the caveat of recognizing Hawai`is obligation to follow federal law. But the state recognizes the numerous failures and pitfalls of the national war on drugs and its policies, beginning with passage of the Harrison Narcotics Act of 1914. Addicts are still considered to be violating the law by possessing drugs and have no legal way of obtaining them. The war on drugs most problematic effects are in its pursuit of dealers and traffickers. This is what has made the business lucrative and violent, caused addicts to steal to obtain drug money, and burdened the tax payers [sic] and criminal justice system, Libertarian Party of Hawai`i Chair, Tracy Ryan, submitted in support of the study, with the recommendation to examine pre-1914 U.S. drug policy. Among others offering testimony, the Drug Policy Forum of Hawai`i issued a statement in strong support of studying the issue, as well as a recommendation the LRB carry out a twin study on the effects of legalization of marijuana for adult use. Noting the Supreme Courts refusal to intervene in a dispute between Colorado, Nebraska, and Oklahoma stemming from Colorados cannabis legalization the Forum claimed it would be an opportune time to conduct the parallel study. Policymakers in Hawai`i decided to turn to Portugals across-the-board decriminalization, which became law on July 1, 2001, for consideration, after the CATO Institute issued a report touting the policys success. Cited in testimony by Kat Brady, Coordinator of Community Alliance on Prisons, the reports conclusion stated: None of the fears promulgated by opponents of Portuguese decriminalization has come to fruition, whereas many of the benefits predicted by drug policymakers from instituting a decriminalization regime have been realized. While drug addiction, usage, and associated pathologies continue to skyrocket in many EU states, those problems in virtually every relevant category have been either contained or measurably improved within Portugal since 2001 [] By freeing its citizens from the fear of prosecution and imprisonment for drug usage, Portugal has dramatically improved its ability to encourage drug addicts to avail themselves of treatment. The resources that were previously devoted to prosecuting and imprisoning drug addicts are now available to provide treatment programs to addicts. Also noted by Brady in bold from the CATO study as being of particular importance, Drug policymakers in the Portuguese government are virtually unanimous in their belief that decriminalization has enabled a far more effective approach to managing Portugals addiction problems and other drug-related afflictions. Numerous individuals, groups, and organizations submitted written testimony in support of Hawai`is proposal to study sweeping decriminalization, chiefly because a policy like Portugals would view addiction as a health, rather than criminal, issue. Hawai`i will study virtually every facet of drug policy and its countless repercussions in the state to determine if Portugals model, or some variation of it, would be feasible and beneficial to implement. Simply undertaking such research in the United States highlights recent foundational shifts toward ambivalence from government and civilians concerning the failed Drug War which insider reports indicate may have been largely fueled by the desire to quash dissent and incite division. Portugals decriminalization policy, though not perfect, stands as a solid testament to the benefits triggered when government reframes citizens as people rather than criminals. Whether Hawai`i ultimately follows that countrys lead or not, the study will almost certainly find decriminalization to be worth a try.

2	Obama Makes Sickening Move Towards Trump Right Before The Inauguration 
1	Significantly trailing Sen. Barack Obama in delegates, Sen. Hillary Clinton made a last-ditch effort to settle the hotly contested presidential race Monday, when she loudly shouted a proposal that the candidate who gets the next vote wins the Democratic nomination. 'All sides have battled long and hard, and now it is time to take up a fair and impartial method for deciding this: next vote takes all,' Clinton said, adding that she was crossing her fingers behind her back to ensure that the electoral process is allowed to take its course. 'Although I am open to discussing the feasibility of implementing a best-two-out-of-three policy, it has become clear the only way to settle this historic campaign is whoever can run to that door firstgo!' Members of the Obama campaign disputed the results of the footrace, pointing out that the Illinois senator had long ago called for ace of black magic times infinity with no backsies. 
3	U.S. Navy Killing Marine Life With Sonar and Weapons TestingArjun Walia These events are set to commence and take place from 2014 through 2019. The title is not an exaggeration, depending on the vicinity of the animals, detonating these explosives underwatermwill kill whales and dolphins and injure many, according to two environmental impact statements released by the military.(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8) Keep in mind, these events have been occurring for a number of years, and are responsible for the death of large amounts of marine life. (9) The Navy is not denying these facts. They have admitted that most of the deaths would come from detonation of explosives, sonar testing or animals being hit by ships. Although I do not trust Navy estimates, according to their computer models this activity could kill hundreds of whales. The Navy said it developed the estimates by totaling the hours it will test and practice with sonar, torpedoes, missiles, explosives and other equipment for five years. This testing will be (and already has been) responsible for the death of thousands. Take action by sending an email to The Honorable Charles T. Hagel, U.S. Secretary of Defense. You can email him at charles.t.hagel.mil@mail.mil. Feel free to use this sample letter provided by PETA. There are no noise-cancelling headphones to stop the U.S. Navys 235-decibel pressure waves of unbearable pinging and metallicshrieking. At 200Db, the vibrations can rupture your lungs, and above 210 Db, thelethalnoise can bore straightthrough your brain until it hemorrhages that delicate tissue. If youre not deaf after this devastating sonar blast, youre dead. This is the real life of marine mammals destroyed by the U.S. Navys all-out acoustic war on the worlds oceans. The collateral damage of this high intensity military sonar is shocking. But because all these millions of dying whales or dolphins are too often out of human sight, theyre also out of mind. (8) Just like Orca researcher Ken Balcomb calls it, this is acoustic holocaust. Scientific American calls military sonar a brutal and inhumane death sentence. (4) The Navy is claiming that these tests are needed for homeland security, but people are starting to see through the justification for immoral actions being the result of an increased need for security. 9/11 is a perfect example. We have been warned in the past that the military industrial complex seeks to capitalize on an announced need for an increase in security, in order to push secrecy to the very limits of censorship and concealment. JFK warned us, and so did Dwight Eisenhower. This increased (in my opinion manufactured) need for security has allowed the military industrial complex to do whatever they want without anybody knowing. According to National Resource Defense Council (NRDC) policy analyst, Michael Jasny, a study published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society shows that even mid-frequency noises disrupt feeding patterns in baleen whales and could negatively affect entire populations. The NRDC cites multiple mass strandings on beaches after sonar has been used, including 200 beached melon-headed whales in 2004 off the coast of Hawaii, one of many examples.(6) The Navy has rejected any suggestion to limit their sonar and weapons training. There is a lot more information on this topic; nothing is hidden and everything is out in the open. This is happening, and it is killing a large amount of marine life. Whales, dolphins and other marine mammals use sound to navigate, to locate each other over great distances for a number of reasons. Human technology is now drastically changing and damaging the delicate web of life. Marine life is constantly dying, high-intensity sonar alone used by the military can emit sounds as loud as a rocket blasting off. Offshore oil and gas exploration also make intense bursts. Imagine a day in your life disrupted by excruciating sound, sound so loud that it paralyzes you and your ability to function.

2	Obama Promises That A Mosque Will Be Built At 9/11 Site Before He Leaves Office According to reports, President Obama has been publicly speaking out in favor of a proposed Muslim community center and mosque right near ground zero in Manhattan. According to Obama, who spoke out at a White House dinner celebrating Ramadan, as a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country. Obamas press secretary followed the comments by claiming that the president was not attempting to get involved in local decision making. I understand the emotions that this issue engenders, Obama continued. Ground zero is, indeed, hallowed ground. This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable. The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country, and will not be treated differently by their government, is essential to who we are. Aides to the president claim that he has very strong feelings about the proposed mosque, but the White House was hesitant to weigh in until local authorities had made a decision. Such was the case when NYC removed a final construction hurdle, and the Mayor spoke in favor of the project. Still, the community center has been the cause of uproar among Americans living in New York. Some claim that this is not an issue of religion, but rather one of safety and security. And Sarah Palin has called the project an unnecessary provocation. Lets not forget, though, that Obama has been strongly in favor of the Muslim community since he first took office. In fact, when he was initially running for office, he promised to improve relations with the Muslim world. He even vowed for a new beginning which would include steps like closing Guantanamo Bay. What do you think? Is this an outrage? 
1	Wedding attendee Marc Spanos was badly shaken Saturday when a conga-line participant ominously beckoned him to join the grim, undulating human chain. 'This large woman in a pink, sequined dress started waving and gesturing for me to come get on the end,' Spanos said following the ordeal. 'It all seemed to be happening in slow motion, like they all had evil grimaces and were laughing in deep, slowed-down voices.' Spanos dodged the encroaching conga spectre by spilling scalding hot coffee on his tuxedo pants. 'That was a close one,' he said.

1	Rendered unconscious by a powerful sleep-inducing cough suppressant, 8-month-old Emma Janofsky reportedly won praise from fellow airline passengers Sunday for being such a good little traveler. Look at that, shes not even stirringwhat a perfect sleepy angel! Deborah Lesser said of the nearly comatose Janofsky, whose pulse slowed dramatically as her internal organs struggled to process the potent cocktail of chemicals her parents had mixed into her applesauce. I just cant get over how precious and well behaved she is. You must be so proud. Thanking Lesser, Janofskys mother then excused herself to carry her limp, drooling daughter to the lavatory to deal with the infants desperate attempt to expel the drug from her bowels. 
2	Obama Is Going To Ruin Christmas For Kids In THIS State, Because Its Offensive It is no secret that there is an attack on Christians in this country. We see it left and right, but our president is too busy defending the Muslim population to notice or care. Now, a school in Maryland is being forced to remove Christmas from their school calendar, after a group of Muslim families complained that Ramadan was not also listed. To avoid further controversy, the board decided to make the calendar religion neutral. As a result, Christmas vacation is now called winter break, and Easter break has been stripped from the calendar altogether. Is this absurd? What is happening to America?

3	Orwell: No one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing itAaron Dykes Orwells stark and forceful police state manufactured and maintained order with the psychological dominance of the ever-watchful Big Brother, by utilizing high-tech surveillance, the editing of reality, the propagation of dizzying misinformation and rule by an iron fist. For Aldous Huxley, however, Orwell had missed the point. The Nazis and Soviets were incomplete models for the emerging world order. The real tyranny was scientific in its approach, sophisticated and slight in its maneuvered hand. Mankind wouldnt face naked oppression as much as he would be pacified by easily obtained goods, engineered societal rewards and the use of literal opiates refined pharmaceutical drugs to make the masses learn to love their servitude. This would constitute the ultimate revolution oligarchical domination administered by a scientific and expert elite. What Orwell had described would be crude compared to the studied social programs of indoctrinated helplessness. But Orwell had not missed the point at all (certainly not entirely) he understood that this was domination nonetheless, no matter how concealed the bludgeoning arm was behind the velvet gloved-hand. The true purpose of socialism is not the good of others [i.e. the masses] but the control by the few the elite or oligarchy of the many by an overarching system that made them controllable. That system is collectivism everyone under one net. Oligarchical collectivism government by, for and of the megacorporations, the elite, and their agents and elected. What is the ultimate aim of this system, in its rawest form? It is later answered by OBrien, as he tortures Winston: The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from all the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps even believed that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.

2	Oprah Devastated, Gets The Worst News Of Her Career Over the last few years, the American public has started to turn on Oprah Winfrey. While some still worship her like royalty, others are starting to see her for what she really is: a money hungry egotist who likes to play the victim. Sure, Oprah likes to talk about her tragic childhood and discuss controversial topics that get her audience riled up. But some argue that she is more concerned with being a celebrity than really educating the public. Recently, a report listed the reasons why the public should not support Oprah. Those reasons are listed below: 1. Her idea of happiness requires money Oprah wants you all to be happy but you have to have money do it. She wants you to help yourself to the world around you but most people cannot afford to do that. Everything she does to help people involves money. What do you think? Is it time America stopped supporting Oprah? 
1	Devoted fans of the Fast And Furious movies expressed disappointment upon leaving theaters this weekend, reporting that Fast Five, the latest installment in the franchise, does not include a single car-chase scene. 'You see a bunch of cool-looking cars revving their engines at red lights, but just before they hit the gas, the action cuts away to a coffee shop, where the main characters discuss what a great car chase they just had,' said moviegoer Ben Liddell, explaining that while the film's plot remains tightly focused on street racing, all the driving takes place off camera. 'The only time you even see a vehicle in motion is at the very end, when Vin Diesel and Paul Walker park their cars and go inside.' Broadway director Julie Taymor is reportedly at work on a stage production of Fast Five that will contain more than a dozen extended and elaborately choreographed car-chase sequences. 
1	After several months of observation and interviews with nearly everyone in the young teen's life, an selfnews investgation has conclusively determined that Whitford seventh grader David 'Davey' Gendelman, 13, is presently undergoing the bodily changes that will slowly transform his awkward, boyish frame into that of a sexually mature adult. Despite repeated denials from the transparently defensive Gendelman, members of his peer group told reporters that the Whitford native now experiences spontaneous erections throughout the day. The majority of these occur during third-period social studies class, in which he sits behind classmate Sarah Miller, also 13, and stares desperately at the bra straps visible under her tank top. Several handwritten poems discovered during a search of Gendelman's school locker identify Miller as the secret object of his budding affections. When informed of her classmate's sexual interest in her underwear, Miller called Gendelman 'perverted and gross.' The boy's penis, although still tiny compared to those of most boys his age, is becoming erect at other times as well, including in the hallway between classes, on the school bus, and at lunch, an analysis of school security-camera footage confirmed. Gendelman has been observed carrying textbooks and other objects directly in front of his midsection in an ineffective attempt to conceal his blood-engorged member from his peers. Whitford Middle School nurse Kristin Price initially declined to comment on Gendelman's drastically changing body, citing confidentiality issues. However, notes obtained from Price's office revealed that the middle schooler visited her less than two weeks ago to ask a number of questions about the female reproductive systema clear sign that hormones have begun to rage through his young body. Gym class sources eagerly disclosed that the loner's 'squeaky, childlike' voice now often cracks, and that Gendleman has recently developed body odor, leading to frequent instances of his 'smelling nasty.' Though the signs of his puberty have become increasingly obvious, those closest to the 13-year-old were hesitant to speak to the news media about his transformation. His mother, Janice, had to be confronted with the results of a six-week examination of her family's laundry before admitting to reporters that the boy has begun to experience the nocturnal emissions of semen commonly known as 'wet dreams.' Gendelman's father, Frank, expressed surprise when he was shown pictures of women exposing their vaginas and told that they were recovered using the browser history on his family's personal computer. 'Apparently, he doesn't know about the 'delete history' function,' Frank Gendelman said. 'He may be growing up, but he's still nave in so many ways.' Interviews with more popular students in the school's locker room further confirmed Gendelman's budding pubescence. The larger boys revealed that despite 'acting like a little baby all the time' and 'playing basketball like a girl,' Gendelman has finally sprouted a slight growth of 'peach fuzz' on his genitaliaa trait that has even earned him the derisive and humiliating nickname 'Peach Fuzz Gendelman' among his gym class peers. Gendelman himself could not be reached for comment on this story, as he was locked in the family bathroom using the suction created after taking the top off of his mother's conditioner bottle, squeezing the air out of it, and placing his penis against the opening to simulate what he imagines oral sex to feel like. 
3	Getting Prepared Month 10: Practice Going Off GridGaye Levy, Contributor Being an optimist, I can only assume that if you made it this far, you are well on your way to being self-sufficient in an emergency. And based upon the emails that I have been receiving, I know positively that a number of you are following along each month. As with the previous months, month ten is not overly difficult but it will take some time and it will take some effort. More specifically, this month we are going to take a break from purchasing gear and supplies. Instead we are going to focus on disaster readiness and, more specifically, earthquake preparedness and and an actual practice drill so you can anticipate what happens when you go off grid. SUPPLIES GEAR: Oops . . . we are skipping the supplies and gear this month. Of course, if you simply must add to your gear this month, do an inventory to insure that you have the following items: In addition to regular use around the house or on a camping trip, these items will help you dig your way out of a disaster and are a solid investment in your ability to cope when the big one this. Imagine your house with no electricity. Better yet, shut off the power for 4 to 24 hours and try to live off-grid. Steps to Prepare for an Earthquake I happen to live in Washington State which is earthquake country, but if you live in a tornado, hurricane or flood area, the same principles apply. You still need to secure your stuff so it does not blow away or float away. And you still need to know how to take care of shutting off the utilities when disaster strikes. The Practice Drill Going Off Grid for Practice This month month ten I challenge you to ask yourself the question: what would life be like if we were off grid for an extended period of time? There is the obvious: no lights going on when you flick on the switch, no power to your refrigerator or freezer, no air conditioning, no hot water to your electric hot water heater, no washer and dryer, no computer, no Internet, no way to charge your cell phone or other electronic gizmos, no access to online banking or online shopping . . . and well, I could go on and on. But what about the less obvious? There will be no way to access cash from the ATM, no working cash registers or credit card machines at the grocery store, no way to pump gasoline at the the gas station, no way to pump water from your well . . . and again, the list goes on. So here is the deal: practice going off-grid in your own home. If you can the resist temptation to turn on the power, you can simply go about your life for a day or two without using any electricity. Better still and something I do is to shut down breakers to everything except refrigeration (so your food does not spoil) and see how you do. Make a list of things you had issues with. Not enough light sources? Get some light sticks,a lantern,and batteries.No way to cook the food you have stored? Store different types of foods those that do not require cooking or get yourself a charcoal or biomass grill or stove. Trust me, you will be surprised at the results of your drill. Things will come up that you that next time your needs are covered. Dont forget that during this drill, you need to forgo stores (no cash registers or credit cards, remember?), restaurants (same thing), gas for your car, and other commercial conveniences. You are on your own for just a day or two. Learn from it. The Final Word I will be addressing this more in the future so keep in mind that your drills and practice sessions are important. You want to be able to act without thinking and, more importantly, act without fear. That is what this is really all about: having the ability to react to a disaster with common sense devoid of panic and devoid of fear.

2	Russia DOUBLES DOWN On Jet Bombings, They Will Not Give Up Until ISIS Is Destroyed According to recent reports, the Russian defense minister has confirmed that the air force is increasing the number of aircrafts targeting ISIS. Moscows warplanes have hit more than 731 major rebel targets in Syria over the last three days. It is not confirmed whether Russia will eventually put boots on the ground, but for now, they do not intend to start a full-scale ground war. That comment comes amid rumors that Putin is prepared to send more than 150,000 troops in to Syria if needed. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu has confirmed that more than 600 rebels were recently eliminated with one single cruise missile on a target in the Syrian Deir ez-Zour province. That was just one of several successes in a series of attacks in Raqqa, Aleppo and Idlib. Vladimir Putin has told his military not to let up in their raids, though he admits that his efforts have not yet been successful in protecting Russia from terrorist attacks. Now, Tensions between Putin and Turkish authorities are at an all time high. On Friday, Turkey reached out to Russias ambassador to protest the intensive bombing of villages in northern Syria, calling for an immediate end to the operation. It was stressed that the Russian sides actions were not a fight on terror, but they bombed civilian Turkmen villages and this could lead to serious consequences, the foreign ministry has said. What do you think? Do you support Russia or are they taking things way too far? 
1	Sitting in a quiet downtown diner, local hospital administrator Philip Meyer looks as normal and well-adjusted as can be. Yet, there's more to this 27-year-old than first meets the eye: Meyer has recently finished reading a book. Even outdoors, Meyer can't seem to think of anything better to do than flip through some American classic. Yes, the whole thing. 'It was great,' said the peculiar Indiana native, who, despite owning a television set and having an active social life, read every single page of To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. 'Especially the way things came together for Scout in the end. Very good.' Meyer, who never once jumped ahead to see what would happen and avoided skimming large passages of text in search of pictures, first began his oddball feat a week ago. Three days later, the eccentric Midwesterner was still at it, completing chapter after chapter, seemingly of his own free will. 'The whole thing was really engrossing,' said Meyer, referring not to a movie, video game, or competitive sports match, but rather a full-length, 288-page novel filled entirely with words. 'There were days when I had a hard time putting it down.' Even more bizarre, Meyer is believed to have done most of his reading during his spare timetime when the outwardly healthy and stable resident could have literally been doing anything else, be it aimlessly surfing the Internet, taking a nap, or simply just staring at his bedroom wall. 'It'd be nice to read it again at some point,' Meyer continued, as if that were a perfectly natural thing to say. While it's difficult to imagine what compelled Meyer to read more than just the back cover of To Kill a Mockingbird, friends and family members claim the strange behavior goes all the way back to his childhood. 'I remember when Phil was a little kid, instead of picking up a book, getting bored, and then throwing it at his sister, he'd actually sit down and read the whole thing,' said mother Susan Meyer, who declared she has long given up trying to explain her son's unusual hobby. 'At the time, we thought it was just a phase he was going through. I guess we were wrong.' Over the years, Meyer has read dozens of books from beginning to end, regardless of whether he was forced to do so by a professor in school or whether a film version of the reading material already existed. According to girlfriend Jessica Kohler, he even uses a special cardboard marking device so that he can keep track of where he has stopped reading and later return to that exact same place. 'I used to find Phil's reading kind of charming because I had never really met anyone who read outside of a waiting room,' Kohler said. 'But more and more, it just feels odd, you know? He can't even go to the beach without bringing one of his books along.' According to behavioral psychologist Dr. Elizabeth Schulz, Meyer's reading of entire books is abnormal and may be indicative of a more serious obsession with reading. 'Instead of just zoning out during a bus ride or spending hour after hour watching YouTube videos at night, Mr. Meyer, unlike most healthy males, looks to books for gratification,' Schulz said. 'Really, it's a classic case of deviant behavior.' 'At least, that's what it seems like from what little I've skimmed on the topic,' she added. As bizarre as it may seem, Meyer isn't alone. Once a month, he and several other Greenwood residents reportedly gather at night not only to read books all the way through, but also to discuss them at length. 'I don't know, it's like this weird 'book club' they're all a part of,' said Brian Cummings, a longtime coworker and friend of Meyer's. 'Seriously, what a bunch of freaks.' 
1	Responding to pressure from the international community, the U.N. ordered enigmatic candy maker William 'Willy' Wonka to submit to chocolate-factory inspections Monday. The enigmatic, elusive despot. 'For years, Wonka has hidden the ominous doings of his research and development facility from the outside world,' U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan said. 'Given the reports of child disappearances, technological advances in glass-elevator transport, and Wonka-run Oompa-Loompa forced-labor camps, the time has come to put an end to three decades of secrecy in the Wonka Empire.' The chocolate-making capabilities of Wonka's heavily fortified compound have long been a source of speculation. Wonka, defying international calls for full disclosure, has maintained his silence regarding his factory's suspected capacity to manufacture confections of mass deliciousness. Secretary of State Colin Powell praised the U.N. announcement. 'No more will this sinister figure be free to pursue his nefarious endeavors without fear of reprisal, protected by loopholes in international candy-making law,' Powell said. 'With this ruling, the U.N. has issued the global community a 'golden ticket' to draw back the curtain behind which this mysterious confectioner hides.' According to CIA psychological profilers, Wonka has retreated from the outside world entirely, withdrawing into 'a world of pure imagination.' An anonymous tinker stationed near the infamous, long-locked Wonka factory gate corroborated the claim, saying, 'Nobody ever goes in, nobody ever comes out.' Rival candy makers, long worried that Wonka's advanced capabilities have created an imbalance of power within the volatile global chocolate marketplace, also applauded the U.N. move. 'Wonka exerts a powerful psychological grip over the world's children,' said Arthur Slugworth, president of Slugworth Confections. 'They are devoted to him with a loyalty that borders on the fanatical, eagerly lapping up Scrumdiddlyumptious Bars by the millions at his command. But when we found evidence that Wonka was developing so-called 'everlasting gobstopper' technology'the mother of all gobstoppers'we knew it was time to act.' To date, all efforts to peer inside the Wonka inner sanctum have met with failure. Armies of legal experts retained by Wonka have kept visitors to his chocolate-making facilities effectively gagged with elaborate non-disclosure agreements. His in-house staff of high-contrast Technicolor dwarves carefully monitors what information flows in or out of the heavily guarded compound. And the few scraps of information that have come to lightvague reports of terrifying river-barge rides, razor-sharp ceiling fans, and human-sized pneumatic tubes of indeterminate purposehave been obscured by layers of darkly comic, psychedelic symbolism, making them virtually impossible to interpret. 'Wonka has shown himself to be a man who cannot be trusted,' Annan said. 'Whether misrepresenting himself as a limping cripple, only to drop at the last moment into an agile somersault, or exploiting the deepest and most personal character flaws of misbehaving children, Wonka has been a man of shifty, undetermined motives and baffling ends. He must be stopped.' A CIA surveillance image of suspicious activity within the Wonka compound. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, a longtime advocate of regime change in the Wonka Empire, is urging President Bush to consider military intervention should Wonka refuse to cooperate. 'The world can no longer turn a blind eye to Wonka's deception and misdirection,' Rumsfeld said. 'Without full inspections, there's no earthly way of knowing which direction Wonka's going. Not a speck of light is showing, so the danger must be growing. And he's certainly not showing any signs that he is slowing. Are the fires of Hell a-glowing? Is the grisly reaper mowing? Who can provide the world with the answer to these pressing questions?' 'The candy man can,' Rumsfeld added grimly. Bush said he is leaning toward the use of force, undeterred by the prospect of the candy maker using his rumored 'Wonkavision' technology to turn would-be attackers into millions of tiny pieces, beaming them through the air and shrinking them to tiny, dollhouse-accessory size. 'We are talking about a man who is able to take a rainbow and cover it with dew,' Bush told reporters during a press conference Monday. 'Who knows what else he is capable of? Left to his own devices, he could, in a worst-case scenario, make the world taste very bad, indeed.' 
3	TV and the Dark Powers That BeBy Chris Veritas Like the erstwhile Media Sensation Patty Hearst, America has fallen in love with its captors, and seems to have come to expect the shock and awe and fear and trembling as a matter of course; except that its not so much #ISIS thats delivering it. No, its Wolf Shepherd and Blitzer OReilly, our anchors in the restless sea of infinite (in)formation. In the deep subconscious, which reassembles the dialectically opposed Network mirage, Wolf/Shepherd becomes both the guiding friend and the stern accuser, two voices that blend into one as the same source both defends and attacks Americans. This dissonance I assert is designed to bypass and cripple the conscious mind, and the dirty little secret is this: we LOVE it. We are ALL Patty Hearst. Yes, on some level we know all this, but we still wont stop watching. We stand by our Programming, and on any given day you might hear statements like these in defense of it: You cant trust the MTV, but you can trust Wolf Shepherd; I hate Barack Obama but, shh, lets hear what he has to say about Syria; and Im terrified of ISEL!; lets watch more San Bernardino coverage, post haste! Its all about trust. The publics potential distrust gets negated by a seemingly trustworthy alternative, in a neat shell game that keeps the Dark Forces just out of view, makes whats cool hot, and being down with whats up a thing thats equal to your level best; unless of course things go sideways. Hey, Dark Forces, 1984 was not supposed to be an instruction manual [you Vampires]. But I digress. As I speak the Telecaptors are, well, everywhere! Theyre in the McRonalds, at your doctors office, your friendly neighborhood watering hole, and even at the caf where Im writing this article. Its just expected nowadays. The TV is a comforting presence that brings nostalgia with it. (Know what I mean, Vern?) Its the psychological crutch that fills the void of silence. Its the Pavlovian bell that chimes to remind you of rendezvous with Friends (Sing it with me, N.B.C). Speaking of friends, its the new friend thats replaced intimacy, reading, and reasoned dialogue. Its the wheel of discourse and supplier of water cooler punchlines; norms, fashions, and trends. Its the subtle driving force generating consensus. Its the fear that seeks nightmares, and the focus that blots out the external world. Its an all-things-to-all-people reality machine and world-view supplier. (Wow, no wonder Allen Watt thinks its weaponized). In the movie Gladiator, Russell Crowes character, Maximus, pacing inside the bloody arena, shouts to the Romanized spectators, Are you not entertained?. We have all been Romanized and brutalized by the Medias terrortainment. This united front would like us to accept as natural the presentation of the towers falling 28,000 times, interspersed with egregious Two and a Half Men episodes, and/or the latest BieberCyrusaur clone, purportedly singing songs, and doing something that used to be called dance. (But none of this is entertaining.) Just where did the Beautiful and the Good disappear to, anyway? I lay this squarely at the feet of the Dark Powers That Be. Apparently Melody, Peace, and Harmony are not high priorities for them; and withdrawing these things without explanation, the gas lighting Media offers whats left to the willing captive, and Mediapharmaphilia ensues. Brutalized, nadirized, and Wolf Shepherdized, the wary [yet trusting] American [captive] audience has fallen hard for its tormentor. Sometimes he wears a serious face, and sometimes a smirk of ironic detachment, but in all times and places he reminds of this poem which precedes the sad parable of the Great Gatsby: Image Credit Amazing how people in doctors office will sit transfixed by MSM. Have seen even quite elderly people hang on every word of doctor panel TV show discussing bacon-flavored condoms. Not just the US, tacky television entertainment has taken hold in far flung places such as Saudi Arabia and China (e.g. Gold Digger reality TV show). Little wonder TPTB get away with global spraying. Everyone is numbed out. I havent watched television in twenty years. It was developed by DARPA and it entrains the viewers mind into a lower stae of consciousness, namely lower alpha/uper theta state. In this state critical thinking is shut down and all input goes straight to the subconscious. I think thats why they humorously call it programing because it is programing you. Many are aware of brand placement where shows and movies are paid money to use a particular brand for the show, like the main character drinking Coors beer and being careful to hold the label where the camera can see it. Now they have behavior placement, where you can pay to have a character act a certain way or hold certain beliefsguess what folksthe government spendss more money on behavior placement then all other entities combined. Yep.they spend money they got from you via taxes and spend it programming you. And you wonder why people are so hard to wake up or enlighten. Why so many people seem like brain dead sheep..I dont wonder I know why Do yourself a favor and stop watching the damn thing..in studies, they find that TV actually lowers your IQ. Books raise your IQ. The boob tube is responsible for folks just sitting inside and not reconnecting w/ their fellow bipeds. Somewhere between t.v., cell phones, internet and its apps the nsa is storing a ton of worthless data. TURN off technology and start reconnecting. BTW: good for you Brad I/we do not watch t.v. either. 1 Timothy 4: 1-2 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. Who watches TV these days? 
3	Self Censorship Coming to a Laptop Near YouBy Graham Vanbergen This is demonstrated no better than by a sinister mass surveillance programme instigated, developed and kept secret by the state, only to be revealed by the leaks of a whistleblower years later. As a concerned, conscientious or just inquisitive citizen you may quite rightly ask why is it happening and for whose benefit.But actually nowadays, you might not ask at all. The word panopticon sounds sinister as well as actually being so. It describesa type of institutional building designed by the English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the late 18th century. The concept of the design is to allow all (pan-) inmates of an institution to be observed (-opticon) by a single watchman without the inmates being able to tell whether or not they are being watched. Although it is physically impossible for the single watchman to observe all cells at once, the fact that the inmates cannot know when they are being watched means that all inmates must act as though they are watched at all times, effectively controlling their own behaviour constantly. It appears that Benthams design is being adopted as a government playbook for future civil rights and liberties. A study by the University of Oxford Oxford Internet Institute; Citizen Lab, University of Toronto; Harvard University Berkman Center for Internet Society; and Dalhousie University Schulich School of Law demonstrated some interesting results on the modern-day designbeing imposed upon by our elected watchmen.The study provides evidence of thechilling effects of Wikipedia users associated with online government surveillance. The study, written by Jon Penney goes further in the summary by saying that important insights about how we should understand such chilling effects and their scope, including how they interact with other dramatic or significant events (like war and conflict) and their broader implications for privacy, U.S. constitutional litigation, and the health of democratic society. This study is among the first to demonstrate using either Wikipedia data or web traffic data more generally how government surveillance and similar actions may impact online activities, including access to information and knowledge online. In other words, like the panopticon, when weknow we are being watched in this case seeking out knowledge attempting to understand why governments do what they do and trying to get answers on the difficult things that affectus, we are already starting to self-censor. In an attempt to avoid being suspicious, we are actively choosing not to visit particular websites out of fear. Think about that for a moment. We are choosing not to visit a website out of fear of our own government. The study deduces that a 20 percent declinein page views on Wikipedia articles related to terrorism, including those that mentioned al Qaeda, car bomb or Taliban. This is a clear indication that people are self-censoring, that they are afraid to find out about the effects of government decisions that not only stifles free speech but the most basic principles of any democracy no matter how young or old it may be. As if further evidence was necessary this from The Guardian: A postgraduate student of counter-terrorism was falsely accused of being a terrorist after an official at Staffordshire University had spotted him reading a textbook entitled Terrorism Studies in the college library. The unfortunate involved here was Mohammed Umar Farooq, who enrolled in the terrorism, crime and global security masters programme, who told The Guardian that he was questioned about homosexuality, Islamic State (Isis) and al-Qaida by an official of the university. Farooq also said he had been looking over his shoulder ever since, and so unsettled by the incident that he chose not to return to the course. Farooq was worried he would end up on a Police watch list. After a three month investigation, Farroq was exonerated and an apology was made by the university. The same happened to another student who was arrested under the Terrorism Act and kept in custody for six days and eventually awarded 20,000 compensation by the police after three years of investigation.Rizwaan Sabir, 22, who was studying for a masters at Nottingham University, was arrested after downloading a terrorist manual for his research on al Qaeda. UK advocacy group Cage confirmed that they have received dozens and dozens of such cases just like that of Farooq and Sabir. This is the result of the British governments new anti-radicalisation policy one that is constructing the architecture of societal paranoia, starting in academia. This is also confirmed by Sally Hunt, general secretary of the University and College Union, which represents more than 120,000 academics and lecturers at universities and colleges across the UK. Back in September last year she said that the government plans on radicalisation were baffling and fostered mistrust between lecturers and students. Alex Strick van Linschoten, an author and researcher who helped spearhead the project said: Theres no recipes for making bombs or anything like that.These are documents that would help people understand history, whether its Afghans trying to learn about their recent past, or outsiders wanting to understand the movement. Linschten went further to say there is a climate of fear among academics who study this kind of material because UK law is very loose. Americas Domestic Surveillance Directorate a website run by the NSA makes the worryingly Orwellian statement Your Data: If You Have Nothing to Hide, You Have Nothing to Fear (literally, it does say that) that should make most of us even more suspicious of their intentions. Back in Britain, its more subtle. From GCHQWe are very aware of the responsibility that comes with the nature of our work, and in addition to our legal accountability we also take the ethical considerations surrounding our mission seriously. That didnt stop them breaking lawsdomestically and internationally on an industrial scale. Once challenged, the government simply went ahead and changed the law so it wasnt being broken. In the end, persecution of whistleblowers like Snowden, Assange and Manning gives out a huge message to the citizens of so-called modern democracies. So does the release of data from the Panama Papers, the Swiss Leaks, Lux Leaks and TTIP leaks. Benthams panopticon is a useful tool used by governments all over the world, Britain and America included, to change the behaviour of the masses. It does so as Bentham designed, to instill despair and anxiety in order that those in power continue their reign of anarchy across the world, be it a corporate takeover of sovereign nations such as TTIP, CETA and TTP or en masse taxation crimes to name just a couple, whilst everyone else bows their heads, eyes to the floor forfear of being caught looking up. Graham Vanbergen writes for truepublica.org.uk Nothing to hide nothing to fear. So long as they are judge jury and send out the terminator. 
1	In a landmark report experts say fundamentally reshapes our understanding of the global warming crisis, new data published this week by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has found that the phenomenon is caused primarily by the actions of 7 billion key individuals. These several billion individuals, who IPCC officials confirmed are currently operating in 195 countries worldwide, are together responsible for what experts called the lions share of the devastating consequences of global warming affecting the entire planet. Our research has proved conclusively that, year after year, the acceleration of the rate of global warming and the damage caused by this man-made acceleration can be clearly linked to 7 billion main culprits, explained lead author Dr. John Bartlett, noting that many of these individuals have links to climate change going back nearly a century. Worse, the significant majority of damage was done within the past two decades, when the consequences of climate change were widely known and yet these specific individuals did nothing to curb or amend their practices. Now that weve done the hard work of identifying the key players responsible for this crisis, we can move forward with holding them accountable, Bartlett added. And it is my opinion that we need to regulate these individuals swiftly and decisively before they do any more damage. According to policy analysts, urgent regulation is needed in order to monitor and govern the behavior of these targeted individuals, who experts say collectively commit as much as 100 percent of violations to the environment each year. Researchers have isolated numerous instances of environmentally harmful activity committed by these 7 billion perpetrators in the past few decades alone, identifying practices such as using electric lights, shipping packages, traveling by car, traveling by air, buying clothes, washing clothes, using heat, using air conditioning, buying food, buying water, eating meat, commuting to work, shopping, exercising at the gym, disposing of waste, operating computers, operating televisions, operating other household electronic appliances, and showeringalarming activities that experts say show no signs of remitting. In addition, IPCC officials confirmed that billions of pounds per year in waste products can be traced to these 7 billion individuals alone. Were actually looking at a situation where a select group of individuals7,125,985,886 of them, to be exactare singlehandedly responsible for global warming and are refusing to do anything about it, author and activist Dan Cregmann told reporters, noting that these culprits have a horrible track record of following recommended environmental guidelines and disclosing their total energy consumption. Many of these offenders have of course pledged goals for fighting climate change and going green in their daily operations, but statistics show these proclamations have been largely ineffective and halfhearted at best. At press time, IPCC officials confirmed that, since their report was released this morning, 153,007 more individuals had been added to the list of top contributors to global warming. 
3	Global Banks Carve Up the World Ahead of COP21 ParisBy Rusticus From veterans of monetary Technocracy like the IMF and World Bank to the New Kids on the Trading Bloc represented by the BRICS and AIIB, monetary institutions around the world are poised to receive their slice of the sustainable pie at the expense of what littlefreedomand financialsecurity the individual still retains. Leading the charge on the Western front is none other than the Bank for International Settlements, the central bank of central banks as identified by Georgetown Professor Carroll Quigley in his magnum opus Tragedy and Hope.Echoing the credo of sustainable developers at the UN and World Bank, the BIS has seen fit to reinforce the meme that theproblemof climate change cannot be tackled without complete digital serfdom in the form of an electronic, biometric global I.D. Euphemistically entitled the Identification for Development (or ID4D) program by the World Bank, it represents their unique interpretation of the UNs Sustainable Development Goals; a reading thats as draconianas it is creative. The UN, World Bank, and BIS are calling for nothing short of a completely pervasive global surveillance grid to be implemented by no later than 2030, all under the auspices of saving the planet. Of course, the BIS is also resolute in declaring the World Banks important role in fighting the phantom foe of climate change not only in implementing the Technocratic ID4D program, but assembling the cast ofprivatefinanciers to accompany the torrent of supranational capital: Some of these larger private sources of capital have also positioned themselves in advance of COP21, one example being the marriage of Eastern and Western financial juggernauts in the solar energy market. This was witnessed recentlyin the merger between Chinas solar giant Shunfeng with American-based Suniva owned in part by the Warburgs (Warburg-Pincus) and Goldman Sachs. These private banking elites and families of antiquity, investing in the petrol-free, carbon-capped future described as a historic opportunityby the International Monetary Fund, will doubtlessly be underwriting much of the green infrastructure loans called for by COP21. But its not just Chinese solar tycoons assembling the capital and infrastructure for humanitys (Soylent) green future; the recently birthed multilateral giants of the East, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and BRICS NDB (New Development Bank), are also all aboard the sustainable train to globalizedNirvana. In accordance with the United Nations assertion that the BRICS NDB is a dream coming true for the financing of UN-mandated sustainable development projects in developing economies, the BRICS saw fit to reinforcethis notionat the first official meeting of the BRICS Environment Ministers earlier this year. Dont take my word for it, or the UNs, for that matter the BRICS arecrystal clearin their position on Agenda 21: We reaffirm our commitment to implement the Rio Declaration, Agenda 21, the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation (JPOI), and the outcomes of the Rio+20 Conference in our respective countries, and through our cooperation within the framework of BRICS in accordance with the Rio principles, including the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities. We acknowledge the progress made on the Millennium Development Goals in the preceding two decades and reaffirm our commitment towards accelerated implementation of the unfinished task. In this context, we look forward to the adoption of ambitious, transformative and equitable Post-2015 development agenda with Sustainable Development Goals at its core. BRICS Statement from the First Official Meeting of BRICS Environment Ministers in Moscow, April 22nd, 2015 These disconcerting official remarks by the BRICS on Agenda 21 stand in stark contrast with recent prognostications by Vladimir Putin to the contrary; this seeming conflict between actual policy and mere rhetoric, designed to seed cognitive dissonance within the minds of the public, is a clear example of a unique brand ofpropaganda developed in Russia by one Vladislav Surkov. The alternative media, not immune to the effects of this non-linear media warfare, spread the story of Putins seeming climate skepticism to the Ends of the Earth without so much as a whisper about the Kremlinsdocumented support of Agenda 21 as exemplified by the BRICS Summit in Moscow this April. Putsimply, the BRICS cannot simultaneously be against Agenda 21 and adherentstoit. Not to be overshadowed by the NDB, the lean, clean, and green (their words, not mine) AIIB are also happy to play their part in financing the latest iteration of Rio 92. In addition to their publicly stated desire to work with the World Bank and Anglo-American controlled Asian Development Bank, some think-tanks believe the AIIB willbe key in financing Pan-Asian energy infrastructure, chiefly natural gas: In a recent paper by Grenatec, aptly titled COP21/AIIB and the New World Order, it is emphatically stated in no uncertain terms that the answer to the woes posed in Al Gores 2006 scare-you-shitless docu-drama forthe Far East is none other than elite bankers lining the pockets ofmultinational gas companies. How convenient. Those in the West neednt worry about being left out of this Eastern development Renaissance, though, as the Peoples Bank of China is intent on financing city-to-city Agenda 21-compliant high speed rail projects throughout the (Peoples) Republic of California. While it may be a relatively new phenomenon for Americans to be on the receiving end of the digital Panopticon and usurious infrastructure projects, the high-tech beneficiaries of Western capital in the East have long been acclimated to the world envisioned by COP21. Those living under the riches (and dictatorial autocracy) of nations like China and Singapore have had 3G phones in their pockets since the turn of the Millennium. Tracking (and taxing) of automobile usage via GPS by the State has been around just as long, as have electronic ID. If this was the Singapore of nearly 15 years ago, its doubtless that the implements of COP21 like the ID4D program will be welcomed with open arms: Looking at the success of projects like the joint Chinese-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City, the East is already making a smooth transition to Eco-Serfdom; this cashless, microchipped, carbon-credited Wonderlandis, after all, virtually indistinguishable from the society in the video above from 2002. Using the centuries old threat of ecological disaster, the central planners of COP21 are resolved in holding the globe hostage; their insistence being that one cannot have the freedoms, conveniences, and benefits provided by technology without binding them by an eco-friendly Surveillance State. The infrastructure for such bewilderinggreen snitch technologies, to be financed by the supranational banks of the multipolar World Order,will be solidified at COP21 this December. The Paris conference representsthe most realistic opportunity for achieving the foundation of this Technocratic World Order since the failure of Copenhagen in 2009, asetbackthe elite would rather not see repeated. Unfortunately, there is little we can do to stop the ink from drying on this Neomalthusian treaty, and increasinglyless international impetus to do so. Now more than ever, Free Humanity must work towards perhaps the only tactic capable of subverting the lamentations of COP21: The development of a counter-economy as vigilant and decentralized as the Globalized Economy is rigid and exclusive.

3	West Virginia Bill Would Block Unconstitutional National Guard DeploymentsMichael Boldin House Bill 2168 (HB2168), the Defend the Guard Act, was introduced by Del. Pat McGeehan (R-Hancock, 1), a former Air Force intelligence officer who did tours in Afghanistan and the Middle East, and cosponsored by ten other delegates. If passed, the bill would block the federal government from deploying West Virginia Guard troops overseas unless there is a declaration of war from Congress, as required by the Constitution. This bill essentially says, If you dont follow the highest law of the land, then we will withhold our Guard troops. The language and intent of the Constitution is so clear on this one issue, McGeehan told the Wheeling News-Register. Guard troops have played significant roles in all modern overseas conflicts, with over 650,000 deployed since 2001. More specifically, West Virginia National Guard troops have participated in missions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Kosovo and elsewhere. Since none of these missions have been accompanied by a Constitutional declaration of war, the Defend the Guard Act would have prohibited the deployments. Such declarations have only happened five times in U.S. history, with the last being in World War II. BACKGROUND Article I, Section 8, Clauses 15 and 16 make up the militia clauses of the Constitution. Clause 16 authorizes Congress to provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia. In the Dick Act of 1903, Congress organized the militia into todays National Guard, limiting the part of the militia that could be called into federal service rather than the entire body of people. Thus, todays National Guard is governed by the militia clauses of the Constitution, and this view is confirmed by the National Guard itself. Clause 15 delegates to the Congress the power to provide for calling forth the militia in three situations only: 1) to execute the laws of the union, 2) to suppress insurrections, and 3) to repel invasions. During state ratifying conventions, proponents of the Constitution, including James Madison and Edmund Randolph, repeatedly assured the people that this power to call forth the militia into federal service would be limited to those very specific situations, and not for general purposes, like helping victims of a disease outbreak or engaging in kinetic military actions. Defending one side or the other in a Middle East civil war doesnt qualify as repelling an invasion, said Mike Maharrey, national communications director for the Tenth Amendment Center. The Founders didnt trust presidents on war, and one way they insisted on balancing that power was by keeping a strong military force at home, in the states. RETURNING TO THE CONSTITUTION It is this limited Constitutional structure that advocates of the Defend the Guard Act seek to restore. That is, use of the Guard for the three expressly-delegated purposes in the Constitution, and at other times to remain where the Guard belongs, at home, supporting and protecting their home state. For decades, the power of war has long been abused by this supreme executive, and unfortunately our men and women in uniform have been sent off into harms way over and over, said McGeehan. If the U.S. Congress is unwilling to reclaim its constitutional obligation, then the states themselves must act to correct the erosion of constitutional law. Maharrey agreed. While getting this bill passed isnt going to be easy, it certainly is, as Daniel Webster once noted, one of the reasons state governments even exist. Referenced by Maharrey was an 1814 speech on the floor of Congress where Webster urged similar actions to McGeehans Defend the Guard Act. He said, The operation of measures thus unconstitutional and illegal ought to be prevented by a resort to other measures which are both constitutional and legal. It will be the solemn duty of the State governments to protect their own authority over their own militia, and to interpose between their citizens and arbitrary power. These are among the objects for which the State governments exist. NEXT UP HB2168 has been assigned to the House Veterans Affairs Committee. It will need to pass by a majority vote before being sent to the House Judiciary Committee. Should it pass that stage, the full House will have an opportunity to consider whether to send the bill over to the state Senate.

3	DNR Just Couldnt Wait to Shoot and Kill a Mini Pet PigShould the DNR be on peoples property with guns? One agent felt threatened The lengthy debacle of Mark Baker and his Heritage hogs versus Michigan and the DNR showed the world what a threatening force the DNR can be while protecting corporate and state interests. While the Michigan DNR was finally forced in the courtroom to back away from the Bakers, they are obviously still on the prowl for blood to the tune of Lord of the Flies. Obviously, threatening to storm the fenced in property and shoot them all dead was a power play and not a real concern for a wild invasive species. They pretend to protect Michigan from feral swine but feral agents have gone too far recently by targeting farm animals and pets. However, some people, like Michigan couple Tony Gervasi and Brandy Savelle, had just one pot-bellied pig as a beloved pet a member of the family. Like two-year-old Caesar, a thirty-pound kiddo who stole their hearts. The family was left to wonder what happened to Caesar with nothing but a blood trail as evidence. It wasnt until after a major social media request to help find the missing pig that an officer finally but hesitantly admitted to shooting the pet after feeling threatened and said he was charged. Without any kind of notification, he had dragged the body out and left. Since the blood puddle was technically a few feet off the 28-acre property, it makes one wonder whether he was waiting for the animal to step over the line or if hecoaxed it. As usual, his claims do not add up he wanted to shoot it and probably knew it was their pet. According to ABC10 the officer was not actually charged, but his actions are uphold under..Feral Swine Laws. He shot the pig due to his rights. Incredible. Savelle said: Lieutenant Pete Wright of the Michigan DNR offered some comforting Double Speak: On private property? Readers may wish to look at the DNRs own policy on feral swine and contact them about it. The behavior has gone beyond too far, where farmers and people are feeling terrorized. Honestly, any DNR personnel should feel something for being on or hovering around someone elses land with a weapon, and then killing a defenseless pet and kidnapping its dead body. And yes, they DO go on peoples property. The couple was told they probably wouldnt get the body back except in ashes unacceptable! Obviously, this makes any kind of autopsy impossible to determine what really happened. After killing a pet, because of their rights they should not be allowed to keep or destroy. They did not kill a wild, feral pig. It is of major alarm that the DNR (and even Park Rangers) are behaving like the militarized brutes of law enforcement who decide to shoot everything that moves. Come off it cops who kill injured animals for target practice, tied dogs, baby deer, squirrels, kittens, cats, tiny dog breeds, docile cows, parakeets, beheading a pet chickenand most recently a miniature pony are demonstrating psychopathic and sadistic tendencies. Sadistic also in the sense of using terror and destroying something that belongs to someone else just to see both suffer. Im just waiting for a goldfish to get murdered because it had a look in its eye. (thats the reason given for one dogs death.) The victims are suspended in terror when law enforcement does not even bother to tell the family what happened. This is not the first time a family has been left with nothing but fear for the worst.

2	Russia Bashes Michelle Obama According to recent reports, Russian TV host Dmitry Kiselyov has just announced during his prime-time program News of the Week, the launch of new documentary that will expose corruption in the United states. This is not fairto forget about American corruption, he commented. about how they get fat on the money of American taxpayers there. The film is titled Emperor Obama, and focuses on the ways that the Obamas have taken advantage of their position in the White House. The trailer for the documentary dives right in with an attack on Michelle Obama. The information on our clients in strictly confidential, a hotel manager at the Villa Padierna tells an interviewer on camera. But I can confirm that Michelle Obama really stayed in our hotel. She was our most famous guest. Since then, we named one of our villas after her. Villa Obama has three floors, two bedrooms, one swimming pool and a big living room. Here are the official numbers, the reporter comments. For the week starting August fourth, 131,000 Americans were fired, losing their incomes and jobs. At that moment, Michelle Obama was on vacation, and the taxpayers were paying $6,000 a night for this hotel suite. The documentary then goes on to explore the Obama family vacations in their entirety. The 44th American president goes on vacation twice a yearin the summer and during Christmas, the reporter continues. Over the seven years of his presidency, American taxpayers spent between $10 million and $74 million a year on vacations for the first American family. To understand how such unbelievable expenses accumulate, the cost for only the plane and bodyguards when Mr. Obama flew his family to Hawaii, in 2014, was $5,316,000. What do you think? Will you be tuning in to this documentary? 
2	French President Just Released A Brutal Message About Whats About To Happen Following the attacks on Friday, French President Francois Hollande has come forward to promise that France will be responding to the tragic event that killed more than 120 people. We are going to lead a war which will be pitiless, Hollande claimed at the site of one of the attacks. When terrorists are capable of committing such atrocities, they must be certain that they are facing a determined France, a united France, a France that is together and does not let itself be moved, even if today we express infinite sorrow, he concluded. Do you support France? Does ISIS need to be stopped immediately? 
2	BREAKING: NASCAR Legend Dies After Crash... Fans Call For Prayers This week, NASCAR fans everywhere mourned the loss of race car driver Bryan Clauson, who passed away of injuries he sustained in a serious crash during Saturday nights Belleville Midget Nationals in Kansas. Clauson was only 27-year-old at the time of his death. This is truly one of the darkest days in the 60-year history of the United States Auto Club, USAC CEO Kevin Miller said in a statement. Not only have we lost one of our greatest USAC champions, weve lost a true ambassador for all motor sports. During Saturday nights race, Clauson took the lead. Moments later, he climbed a guard rail between Turns 3 and 4, flipping heavily before being struck by a car driven by Ryan Greth. The race was ultimately won by Chad Boat after a red flag period. Clauson competed in three Indianapolis 500 races, including this past years for the 100th running. He finished 23rd and led three laps. He was best known for his extraordinary talent in the dirt racing world. Bryans passion for our sport was unparalleled, Miller continued. He was a leader not only on the track, but in the pits with his fellow competitors. Clauson passed away at a hospital in Lincoln, Nebraska, surrounded by his friends and family. Please send your prayers their way during this difficult time. 
2	Is Your Index Finger Shorter Than Your Ring Finger? If It Is Then THIS Is The Meaning Hands tell a lot about a person. You can tell if a person has worked out doors for their entire life. You can tell if someone has never picked up a single tool during his or her life. You can see someones pain in his or her hands. There are also three categories of people in this world. People with a longer ring finger, a longer index finger, or equal sized fingers. Each category tells another thing about your personality. This is a really cool technique that has some truth to it. It is a common practice by many palm readers and has been a tradition for many years. The categories are as followed. If your ring finger is longer then it can be said that you are probably good looking. You have extreme charm and can woo anyone you desire. They are taught forma young age to aggressive and to take risks. They are great workers and make excellent soldiers and engineers. Their problem solving skills are out of this world and these people can usually be found playing chess and Sudoku. If your ring finger is shorter than it said that you have high self-esteem but could come off as a narcissist. These people enjoy their alone time and hate it to be interrupted. They do not fall in love and have a hard time showing affection. If your ring and index finger are the same size then you are an extremely peaceful person. You try to avoid conflict as much as you can because it makes you extremely uncomfortable. They love working with people no matter the job and are very easy to fall in love with. They are very gentle and caring and tend to make amazing parents. These people are whom you should marry. These personality traits describe me perfectly and match my finger length. The accuracy of this test is uncanny. What type are you? 
3	Its Nikola Teslas Birthday He Predicted and Helped to Develop the Smartphone and FaceTimeBy Matt Agorist Secretary of Commerce at the time, Herbert Hoover commented: Today we have, in a sense, the transmission of sight for the first time in the worlds history. Human genius has now destroyed the impediment of distance in a new respect, and in a manner hitherto unknown. Hoovers prediction of the unknown stands true today as the modern TV continues to evolve into things humanity never imagined only decades prior. Although most of society couldnt imagine the impressive capabilities of transmitting moving images over the airwaves, there were a few special folks out there who did. Five years prior to the world seeing the first practical demonstration of the television, and scores before the first instance of the smartphone, Nikola Tesla, not only imagined it but had completed crucial steps for making it possible. Television was only a small portion of Teslas predictions, however. In Volume 100 of Popular Science Monthly, January-June, 1922, Tesla would predict FaceTime. It will be possible to see as well as to hear either by the wireless telephone or over the regular wire circuits. There will be no limit to the distance of such transmission, so that we shall be able to talk to a person in any part of the world and watch his face at the same time. In a general way the instrument used for television will closely resemble the mechanism of the human eye. Success in transmitting vision depends upon four things, and of these I have already perfected two. The radio transmission oi sound will also be developed in the future far beyond the present system. It will be possible not only for any person with a station to listen in, but also to transmit at the same time to every other station. I have already accomplished this in my experiments. But this amazing man, with such grand visions, didnt stop at the prediction of FaceTime. Just a few years later, inan interview with Colliers Weekly,Tesla predicted the smartphone. An article dated January 25, 1926, by the Associated Press, documented the interview. Application of radio principles will enable people by carrying a small instrument in their pockets to see distant events like the sorceress of the magic crystal fairy tales and legends, Nikola Tesla, electrical inventor, predicted today. Mr. Tesla, who on several occasion has tried to communicate with the planet Mars, made his predictions in an interview published in the current issue of Colliers Weekly. We shall be able to witness the inauguration of a president, the playing of a worlds series baseball game, the havoc of an earthquake, or a battle just as though we were present, Mr. Tesla said. While every generation is astonished by the advancement of technology, few generations have predictedtechnological advancements so far before they happened, and with such accuracy that it becomes mind boggling. Imagine the world today if Teslas visions were allowed to come to fruitionhad his work not been seized by the government. But sadly, that was not the case. Only two days after his death,the FBI ordered the U.S. Office of Alien Property to seize all of Teslas belongings. Teslas entire estate from the Hotel New Yorker, and other New York City hotels, was transported to the Manhattan Storage and Warehouse Company under OAP seal. In an instant, this genius mans entire lifes work became the property of the government to further their militaristic escapades. However, not all was lost; severalnew geniuseswould rise up and follow in Teslas footsteps. People like Jim Murray would diligently devote their lives to understanding this great man, and in turn, create paradigm-shifting technologies like theSERPS (Switched Energy Resonance Power Supply)device. This highly specialized electronic circuit has the ability to Magnify the effective power applied to it by nearly 50 times. When Jim coupled his device with his friend Paul Babcockspatented ultrafast five nanosecond switching technology, they achieved a4790% increase in electrical power compared to the input.This type of performance, if commercialized, would cause the largest electric utility companies to shake in their boots. Its been 73 years since his death, and Tesla is still helping to make the world a better place in spite of government schools making no mention of his contributions to humanity.

3	Biotechs Idolized Bt Technology May Transform Benign Insects Into PestsSayer Ji A new study published in the biological sciences journal of the Proceedings of the Royal Societyreveals a profound flaw in one of the most widely used genetic engineering technologies within Biotechs pest control arsenal, namely, Bt technology, wherein crops of commercial importance are made to express insecticidal Cry proteins derived from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). The new study titled, Pest trade-offs in technology: reduced damage by caterpillars in Bt cotton benefits aphids, addresses increasing concern about how Bt technology might adversely affect non-target insects, and by virtue of this, the fitness of the Bt plants themselves.[1] Whereas much of the focus in the past has been on the possibility that Bt could harm and/or disrupt pollinator species, this new review addresses the equally concerning potential of Bt technology to enhance predatory behavior in non-target, normally benign insect species. According to the researchers: Although studies have now reported increased populations of non-target herbivores in Bt cotton, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. We propose that lack of herbivore-induced secondary metabolites in Bt cotton represents a mechanism that benefits non-target herbivores. We show that, because of effective suppression of Bt-sensitive lepidopteran herbivores, Bt cotton contains reduced levels of induced terpenoids. We also show that changes in the overall level of these defensive secondary metabolites are associated with improved performance of a Bt-insensitive herbivore, the cotton aphid, under glasshouse conditions. Ultimately, if one of the unintended, adverse consequences of Bt technology is the down-regulation of a plants natural immunity and the subsequent transformation of relatively non- or less-predatory insects into more predatory ones, the Biotech promise of a reduced requirement for agrichemicals, specifically insecticides, in the production of GM crops, would be found to be patently false.

1	Describing it as a much-needed escape from the hype and pressure surrounding the event, aides from Hillary Clintons presidential campaign confirmed that the candidate has been taking it easy and kicking back ahead of Saturdays Democratic debate with a few hours of intensive debate practice. Secretary Clinton knows how important it is to feel relaxed and refreshed tonight, so shes using this time to unwind by running repeatedly through each of Bernie Sanders main talking points and her rebuttals for every single one of them, said campaign chairman John Podesta, adding that after a week of nonstop campaigning across the Midwest, Clinton was clearly enjoying her time off by mellowing out and rehearsing statistics about gun violence, unemployment, and illegal immigration while standing perfectly poised and attentive. Taking a deep breath, putting up her feet, and just sparring on campaign finance reform and answering rapid-fire questions from our foreign policy prep team is what she really needs right now. Its been great to see her just veg out like this. At press time, Clinton had closed her eyes and sat back in her green room as she listened to a playlist of every one of Martin OMalleys media appearances on her iPod. 
1	Local resident Heather Telford's entire Friday was ruined by a set of uncooperative bangs that refused to set correctly, the 26-year-old benefits coordinator told reporters. 'Why me? Why today?' Telford asked. According to Telford, the trouble began 'right away' as she got ready for work, when she discovered that the three inches of forehead-skirting hair was unable to sit flat, despite the application of numerous gels, sprays, and pomades. A tuft on either side would not integrate with the central grouping, leaving three-quarter-inch gaps, while other wispy strands strayed from her temples, creating a highly undesirable 'wing' effect. A last-ditch effort to wet and restyle the bangs only worsened their state, adding several more small kinks and increasing their overall dishevelment. 'It was so awful,' Telford said. 'I should've just called in sick after I found out that my straightening iron was broken, because the whole day went downhill from there. I can't imagine a worse thing happening to me.' The bangs went on to adversely affect every element of Telford's day, including her commute, her interactions with coworkers, the way food tasted, and even the sound of her voice. 'I kept feeling these awful little wayward pieces brushing against my face, and I couldn't think about anything else,' Telford said. 'I could just sense people's eyes burning holes into my forehead as I passed by the water cooler. I can't blame them. I looked like a complete freak.' Telford spent most of her hour-long lunch break locked in her office, trying unsuccessfully to pin back the bangs with a barrette she found in her desk drawer. In the early afternoon, she was forced to present a new employee-wellness initiative at a meeting with company executives that she was unable to cancel. Telford said her bosses were polite throughout her presentation, but were also 'clearly trying not to burst out laughing' at her bangs. 'I'm not surprised they passed on the proposalI just can't believe they didn't fire me on the spot,' said Telford, who delivered her entire presentation while compulsively smoothing down the left portion of her bangs. 'How could they take me seriously with the state my hair was in?' Telford said. 'Months of work down the drain all because my stupid, stupid bangs are so stupid.' The bangs, which Telford acquired five years ago in an attempt to frame her face and convince her ex-boyfriend he had made a big mistake by leaving her, have ruined an estimated 47 workdays, three vacations, and countless photos. Blaming her errant bangs on a combination of genetics and routinely 'sleeping on them funny,' Telford said that their fine, flyaway nature and penchant for being either too long or too short exceed even the two-inch-wide port-wine birthmark on her hip as her most bothersome physical shortcoming. 'I'm about this close to cutting the damn things off myself, I swear to God,' Telford said. Though she has considered transitioning to a less stressful hairstyle, she said the process of growing the bangs out would be '10,000 times worse.' 'I'd have to go through this awful period where they'd be at this odd, floppy length, and it would just suck,' Telford said. 'So I can either grow them out and look like a Yorkshire terrier, or keep them short and look like a mental patient. Those are my basic hair options right now.' Following a 'humiliating' but unavoidable visit to the supermarket, Telford's plans to return home, shower, and go to bed were foiled by a surprise birthday party organized by her roommates in her honor. The party, attended by Telford's close friends, parents, and people not seen since high school, included presents, lots of champagne drinking, and photos, and was the absolute worst conceivable thing that could have ever happened to her. 
1	Stating it is time to rethink how the nation lays a foundation for a better tomorrow, President Barack Obama announced Wednesday that all of the federal government's resources will now be directed exclusively toward the 50 children who actually represent the country's future. 'Ensuring the continued prosperity of our great nation is my number-one priority as president,' Obama said during a press conference, standing alongside Cabinet members and several of the nation's few dozen legitimately promising minors. 'And there is no use squandering any more of our valuable time and money on the myth that every child is capable of attaining success and one day changing the world. That simply isn't true.' 'It is absolutely essential that we cut our losses now and focus only on those talented young Americans who will in fact usher in a brighter, better America. Namely, Malik Roberts, the Zelenev twins of Maryland, and 5-year-old Ella May here,' Obama continued. 'These particular children are our future.' According to Obama, under the bipartisan-backed initiative known as America's 50 Stars, the handful of future medical pioneers, technology innovators, and titans of industry will henceforth receive the roughly $1 trillion previously spent each year on the 76 million American youths who the president said are, 'quite frankly, not our country's next, best hope.' Noting the vast majority of American children are not even capable of leading the United States into 'a decent era, much less a bold new one,' officials confirmed the nation has already begun to shutter schools and universities nationwide; wind down programs such as Head Start, Federal Student Aid, and the Children's Health Insurance Program; and end all other government spending on the 99.9 percent of children determined by experts to certifiably not be our nation's most valuable natural resource. 'In challenging times such as these, there is really no use in pretending all of our children represent the best we have to offer, because in every conceivable sense, that just isn't the case,' said Education Secretary Arne Duncan, adding that operating under this delusion had cost the nation untold trillions of dollars. 'We want our country to remain strong and competitive, obviously, and for the next generation to make a better world than the one we left for them. Thereforeand trust me on thiswe must put everything we have into these 50 kids, and only these 50 kids, because their less meritorious peers are, by comparison, outright dullards.' Thus far, the plan has elicited sharp criticism from parents nationwide. Many have attacked the 50 Stars program as unfair and profligate, citing its $20 billion in annual spending per pupil on items such as particle colliders and radio telescopes, as well as its highly favorable 1-to-18 student-teacher ratio and faculty composed entirely of Nobel laureates. In response to this criticism, the government has launched a campaign aimed at comprehensively informing irate parents just how inferior their children are in every quantifiable category. 'The hand-selected children in the 50 Stars program display boundless levels of intelligence, creativity, and academic curiosity, and will surely guide our country into a thrilling new age of economic expansion and scientific discovery,' Duncan said. 'Take 7-year-old Jesse Dominguez, who has already mastered calculus. If any parents out there can prove their children are capable of anything even remotely close to that, then by all means let us know. Otherwise, sorry, but there's nothing we can do for you.' According to members of Congress, in addition to saving taxpayer dollars by eliminating the need to purchase thousands of copies of textbooks, the plan will force the vast majority of Americans under 18 to 'fend for themselves,' ensuring that disease and infighting thin out their numbers markedly and thereby further reduce the federal budget. 'Honestly, whether we implement this program or not, the entire nation will eventually be reliant on these 50 remarkable children for jobs and societal advancementall we're doing is ensuring they are as prepared as possible and cutting out the wasteful spending on everyone else,' said Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), explaining that the 'sooner Americans accept this fact, the smoother things will go.' 'My advice to the rest of the nation's kids is to sit down, be quiet, and await your orders from our future leaders.' 'And please, don't attempt to pull yourselves up by your bootstraps and succeed on your own,' Rubio added. 'We've seen how well that's worked in the past.' 
2	BREAKING: Donald Trump Receives Devastating News... He Needs Your Support Donald Trump has been the center of controversy since he first announced his intentions to run for president in the 2016 elections. During his speech, Trump rubbed liberals the wrong way by calling illegal immigrants criminals and rapists. Since his comments aired, Trump has seen enormous backlash. Univision, a Spanish-language television channel announced that they would not be airing his Miss Universe Pageant. Shortly thereafter, NBC followed by ending their relationship with the businessman. Now, Macys announced that they would also be cutting ties. Still, Trump is standing by his initial claims, stating that they are factual. Now, hes decided to file a $500 million lawsuit against Univision. Donald Trumps remarks were disgusting and offensive, and this hateful language has no place in our city, claimed Mayor Bill de Blasio. Now, it appears that some of Trumps contracts in New York City are at risk. Trumps comments do not represent the values of inclusion and openness that define us as New Yorkers, he continued. Our Mexican brothers and sisters make up an essential part of this citys vibrant and diverse community, and will continue to celebrate and support New Yorkers of every background. What do you think? Is it unreasonable for New York to be taking a political stance against Trump? 
3	Crazed Cop Shooter, 2 Explosions - Has Engineered End Of America Begun?By Bernie Suarez With ISIS stories apparently on the side burner, and with too much attention focused on the Hillary saga, and with George Soros (like the DNC and the Clinton Foundation before him) now exposed for not only funding the Black Lives Matter civil unrest psyop to the tune of 33 million dollars but also for his agenda to federalize the local police in America, all of a sudden in one day the mainstream media is reporting on not one, not two but three chaotic stories which, given the strong history of staged events weve seen over the past few years, could all be psyop events to move the ruling elites plan to create chaos and unrest in America going forward. The first of these three events (at the time of this article or 16 hours after the incident) takes place in Philadelphia where a lunatic unidentified shooter is said to have suddenly and for no particular reason run up to a police car and just started shooting randomly at police officer Sgt Silvia Young. Sgt Young (get this) gets shot up all over, a total of 8 times and still survives and is in stable condition. Former police officer Ed Miller also supposedly gets shot but there is no specific information about this other than were told he, too, is in stable condition. Before we get into the other two bizarre and very suspicious stories of the day, all truth seekers should pay attention to this first very important point. Aside from the fact that all the details regarding this shooting are blurry and lack motive and some of the details given are sketchy at best, please take notice of who is issuing out, or should I say who is CONTROLLING the information (think Lt Paul Vance Sandy Hook psyop), its this often cited Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross. So instead of immediately calling this a false flag staged event (like so many events today) just notice for yourself who seems to be assigned to laying down the narrative. This is a huge thing for truth seekers to pick up on (think now soon to be former Police Chief David Brown): A wild chase and shootout through the streets of West Philadelphia on Friday night left two police officers and three civilians wounded and a suspect fatally shot. On Saturday morning, the police said another civilian shot during the chase had died. Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross said Sgt. Sylvia Young was ambushed late Friday night and shot a number of times in the arm and protective vest. Ed Miller, a former police officer who is now a member of the police force at the University of Pennsylvania, was also wounded, Ross said. Both officers were in stable condition early Saturday at Penn Presbyterian Hospital. One of the three civilians who were wounded was in critical condition, the police said. The suspect was cornered in an alley and fatally shot by police, the commissioner said. Young, a 19-year police veteran, was sitting in her vehicle at about 11:20 p.m. when she was ambushed by the suspect, who fired numerous shots, Ross said. Young was struck up to eight times, multiple times in her protective vest and left arm. The suspect fled, Ross said, and shot into a nearby bar, striking a security guard in the leg. The man then grabbed a woman and used her as a shield before shooting her in the leg. Moments later, as police gave chase,the suspect shot into a car, striking a man and a woman in the chest. Police said Saturday the woman died and the man was in critical condition. Ross said Miller and two police officers chased the man into an alley, where he was shot and killed. The identities of the suspect and the others who were injured were not immediately released. Authorities said the circumstances surrounding the shooting were unclear, KYW-TV reports. Police said they may still be on the lookout for another suspect. So aside from one reference at the very end to authorities said, the entire story is packed with references to Ross said. This is often a huge sign of a staged event and its a telltale sign that the story is being carefully delivered by those in control. Whatever happened to random witnesses? Oh, thats right we now have entire companies whose job it is to stage witnesses at crisis events. So realistically who knows how real this event is. Shot eight times? Stable condition? You decide. In another very bizarre story with very sketchy details, an unidentified explosion rocked a neighborhood in New York City. Even worse than the previous story, no one seems to know anything about the explosion except two things at least 29 people were hurt and (according to Mayor Bill de Blasio) it was intentional. Read for yourself and see the level of sketchiness and vague details, and yet conveniently the only thing they know is that it was intentional. Ask yourself another question how does the mayor know ANYTHING about this explosion at all? Does he work in law enforcement? Was he there? Where is he getting his information from? Do they not trust the police chief or police commissioner to control the information like the Philadelphia police commissioner? Again, where are the actual people who were there? Why are they not being quoted? Was this not a normal spontaneous event? Then where are the testimonies of the ordinary tenants who witnessed the blast? Surely there must be countless ordinary witnesses. An explosion rocked the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan on Saturday night, injuring at least 29 people, authorities said, adding that they are investigating the blast as a criminal act not immediately linked to any terror organization. Mayor Bill de Blasio said early indications were that blast was intentional. He said the site of the explosion, outside on a major thoroughfare of a fashionable enclave in one of the most bustling areas of New York City, was being treated as a crime scene. But he said there was no evidence of a credible and specific threat to the city. We do not see a link to terrorism, he added. It is too early to determine what the incident was caused by. We believe it was intentional. A full investigation is under way. A law enforcement source said an initial investigation suggested the explosion occurred in a dumpster but the cause was still undetermined. The head of the New York Police Departments special operations division said on Twitter that a possible secondary device has been located in the same general area. As you can see they are eager to hint terrorism even without any proof whatsoever. And, finally, in yet another bizarre and perhaps even more significant story perhaps designed to remind everyone of the Boston bombing psyop false flag, a pipe bomb, were told, exploded in a garbage can in a beach town along a route for a 5K race to benefit military veterans which was to take place later in the day. Again, as with the other two stories the details are very sketchy and being delivered (or controlled?) strictly by seemingly designated authorities. A pipe bomb exploded in a New Jersey beach town on Saturday along the route of a charity race to benefit military veterans, but no injuries were reported in what investigators were treating as a possible act of terrorism. The explosive device went off in a trash can about 30 minutes after the scheduled start of the race, which coincidentally was delayed, in Seaside Park, a resort about 80 miles (129 km) south of New York City, officials said. No damage to surrounding structures was reported, and no runners or bystanders were in close proximity to the 9:30 a.m. (1335 GMT) blast, so no one was hurt, authorities said. Even so, the explosion stirred dark memories of the bomb blasts at the finish line of the Boston Marathon in 2013 that killed three people and wounded more than 260 others. The Federal Bureau of Investigations so-called joint terrorism task force assumed the lead role in searching for clues to Saturdays bombing, asking members of the public for any tips that might lead to arrests in the case. Brad Cohen, special agent in charge of the FBIs Newark field office, said at an early evening news conference that investigators had determined there was no longer any threat to the community. Police Chief Francis Larkin said residents forced from their homes were allowed to return. Its obvious it was meant to affect the run, the fact that it went off at 9:35, Al Della Fave, a spokesman for the Ocean County Prosecutors Office, said in an interview on CNN. Asked if Marines and their families had been targeted, Della Fave said, I think we can assume that, considering the location of the device right along the run route where, if it was just a matter of minutes in terms of difference, there would have been a good number of people running past that explosive device. The trash can contained several pipe bomb-type devices wired together, Della Fave said. The one went off, and the others did not, he said. Law enforcement authorities said they did not know the motive for the blast. Another common denominator to all three of these stories is that no one dies. All three of these events, if they were all staged, seem to perfectly serve the same purpose, promote fear and terrorism without anyone actually dying. My intuition tells me all three of these events were staged with specific police or FBI stooges absolutely controlling the narratives. All three stories are vague and have a degree of sketchiness in their details that resemble each other. Heres something for everyone to think of. Staging three events in one day is very useful. Youre ambushing the minds of the general public so that they dont have time to figure any one, much less all three stories out. Just like the Texas fertilizer plant missile that blew up the plant just as everyone was sucked into the Boston bombing psyop. Lets not forget that distraction is very much a part of the tactics they use. Whatever really happened in these events this much is true. We must not be fooled by what the desperate ruling elite do. With so many bizarre things happening in America like the Hillary psyop and the end of America being orchestrated before our very eyes by people like George Soros and his Black Lives Matter civil unrest psyop group, it is no longer crazy to literally question every single event that the mainstream media floats in our faces. In fact it is no longer safe to not question every event. Fact of the matter is that all three of these events which can (and may) eventually be linked to terrorism, domestic terrorism or even angry Black Lives Matter activists, could very well be the beginning of a new wave of Gladio B attacks on the innocent people of our country. More importantly, these are psychological attacks on the people being committed by a ruling class that is determined to stay in power at any cost. They have stated clearly they want order out of chaos and these events sound very chaotic especially when all three occur on the same day. Lets spread the word about this recent ominous and bizarre sequence of events so that Americans can be prepared and become more aware of the ruling elites engineered end game agenda particularly as we approach the volatile elections and the period that will follow. Finally, lets remember that order out of chaos will only work if we believe their chaos and if we accept their order.

Why do readers tolerate such shoddy journalism, whose sources contradict its assertions? Oh yeah, click bait makes money. This is bottom feeding capitalism at its worst! It is extremely difficult for the US government to preach protection from terrorism at home, when it supports terrorism internationally! The US is dancing with the devil and is now getting burned! Talk about gross hypocrisy! Domestic terrorism definitely exists, its being carried out by the same folks that created ISIS, the US Government. They never take them out properly. Jail, release, jail release. People make money that way. Guess who gets caught in the crossfire? They dont care. Armed insurgence. Time to rise up and defend liberty and freedom against all tyrants, corporate, federal, state and local. There is a clear line that divides free men and women from the oppressor class. 
3	Colorado Anti-NDAA Bill Faces Final Standselfnews Post HB 1045 is designed to counter the indefinite detention provisions, sections 1021 and 1022, of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act. These sections authorize the indefinite military detention, without charge or trial, of anyone who commits a belligerent act, or is suspected of terrorism, and violate over 13 provisions of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. the law has also been condemned by retired members of the Armed Forces, a current U.S. Congressman,Federal Judge Katherine B. Forrest, conservative pundit Rush Limbaugh, and the American Civil Liberties Union. HB 1045 would restore the protections in the Bill of Rights for the people of Colorado, prohibit any person in the state from being indefinitely detained, and prohibit any person from applying the laws of war including detention and execution, in Colorado. Now, according our sources, Rep. Bob Gardner will attempt to crush the bill on the House floor. Rep. Gardner will attempt to kill the liberty of the people of Colorado, to violate his oath to the Constitution both as a representative and as a veteran of the United States Air Force, and allow the President of the United States to detain, and even execute, any person in Colorado. According to our sources, we almost have the votes needed to pass. HB 1045 is scheduled for a vote on Monday, February 25th. If we bring enough pressure to Colorado this weekend, if we flood the inboxes, phone lines, and desks of these representatives with phone calls and emails, we can win this state back for liberty. With your help, we won huge victories in Indiana, Montana, and Arizona. now, its time to bring that pressure to the Evergreen State. You are the special forces, lets take back Colorado for liberty. Pick one, two, three or ten of these representatives and send a call and an email to thank them for supporting HB 1045 and protecting the civil liberties of the people of Colorado!

2	BREAKING: Trump Puts Obama To Shame, Just Did Something He Could Never Do Despite attempts by the liberal media to make Donald Trumps inauguration attendance look dismal, the facts are starting to roll in. According to ratings, President Trumps ceremony drew nearly 31 million U.S. television viewers on 12 broadcast and cable networks. That means Trump officially surpassed the TV audiences measured for his two most recent Republican predecessors. More Americans are tuned into politics than ever, proving that Trump will truly be a transformative leader for this country. Did you watch the inauguration? Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 22, 2017 
1	Seeking to limit the fallout from a videotaped speech in which he asserts 47 percent of Americans pay no taxes and do not take personal responsibility and care for their lives, Mitt Romney hastily called a press conference today to apologize personally to the 150 million starving, filthy beggars [he] might have offended. Saying that he deeply regretted his choice of words at a private $50,000-a-plate fundraising function in Mayduring which he argued [his] job is not to worry about the lower-earning half of the nations populaceRomney personally appealed to the countrys dirt-caked garbage pickers and toothless street urchins for forgiveness. First and foremost, I would like to offer a heartfelt apology to all the whores, junkies, bums, and grime-covered derelicts out there who make up nearly half our nation, a visibly contrite and solemn Romney said outside a campaign stop at a local high school. Let me assure you that I in no way meant to offend any of the putrid-smelling, barefoot masses out there. My campaign is not about dividing this nation, but about bringing all sides togetherthe rich, elegant members of the upper class, as well as the 47 percent who are covered in flies and eat directly from back-alley dumpsters. I am fully committed to building a better future for every American, Romney continued, and that means ensuring all 150 million grease-and-urine-soaked members of our society get a fair shake. The Romney campaign reportedly scrambled into damage-control mode after the video leaked Monday, issuing a statement late last night stating that the intended target of Romneys remarks was ingrained big-government largesse, not the hordes of uneducated, loathsome scum who unfortunately populate this country. However, with Romneys comments continuing to dominate the news cycle today, the campaign opted to convene a press event to allow Romney to speak directly to the nations grimy panhandlers and coke-addled whores so that he could issue an apology and explain his familiarity with their struggles. I know just how hard it must be to get through a miserable, destitute life that is rife with crying babies whose shrieks consistently disrupt the affluent members of society who actually contribute something to this world, said the GOP candidate, adding that he wanted to make amends for his recent statements and reach out to what he called the countrys snaggle-toothed street people and hell-spawned savages. I know it can be challenging to wake each morning, covered in your own feces and refuse, and get back out there on the streets to beg for spare change and food scraps, always one step from dying right there in an alley. I know your challenges, and I am ready to fight for you, he added Romney also said he recognized that the hardships of the nations low-earners are made more difficult by the fact that so very, very many of them are drug-addicted, high-school-dropout single mothers and fathers who sleep in gutters while sewer rats nibble at their necrotic flesh. In an effort to right his campaign and rebuild his image, Romney promised to bring his message of compassion and economic opportunity to the ramshackle, mud-floored huts in which half of all U.S. residents live. Let me make this absolutely clear: I have the utmost respect for all of the filth-encrusted, lesion-covered degenerates of this nation, Romney said. In the coming weeks, I look forward to meeting real Americans in their squalid, roach-infested hellholes in every corner of this country. I promise to stand up for every one of you, even the 47 percent of you huddled together for warmth, fighting your own family members for moldy crusts of bread as you wallow in your own excrement. Added Romney, And I look forward to serving you as your next president.

Andfollow at Twitterand subscribe to hispodcast on iTunes. A small point, perhaps: the cinderblock (not concrete blocks) shots were taken in daylight. Then again, the spark paintballs are pretty much an exact match with the ones on well, the various screens. I didnt buy into the Russian Ambassadors assassination either. No blood and the position of his body was totally phony If he had been shot in the back, would he be lying on his back? Wouldnt the impact of the bullet have driven him forward so that he would have been face down? 
1	A massive turnout of '70s-obsessed youths is being blamed for Jimmy Carter's surprise victory in Tuesday's presidential election. According to election officials, polling places were overrun with millions of 18- to 23-year-olds wearing Charlie's Angels T-shirts and carrying Scooby Doo lunchboxes. 'The '70s were so cool,' said Michelle Poole, 19, a barrette-wearing, Fisher Price toy-collecting Carter supporter. 'It's like, that old-school Carter Administration shit rocked.' According to Carter spokesman Edward Rowell, 'President-Elect Carter will do his best to serve the mandate of '70s retro culture. He will boycott the Olympic Games, try to create another energy crisis and appoint many well-known '70s TV personalities, including Fred Berry and Gabe Kaplan, to top Cabinet posts.' 
2	Female Student Drags Her Sexual Attacker By The Hair To The Police Like A Boss A female student shocked authorities lately when she burst into the police station, dragging her would-be attacker by his hair. According to reports, a man grabbed Mandhare in the afternoon and attempted to assault her. Around 50 onlookers merely stood by and gawked as she fought back. People [including both men and women] stopped to stare, she continued. But no one bothered to even ask what was going on. Manhare was forced to fight the man off on her own. She began with her purse, but was then able to grab a hold of his hair and drag him to the police station. We was trying to hit me, but I could overpower him because he was stinking of alcohol and I could make out that he was drunk, the 20-year-old told reporters. Mandhare says she was determined not to let the man, who was later identified as a 25-year-old drug addict, get away. Filing a complaint is a lengthy process, she commented. It involves giving a lot of statements and sometimes, dealing with uncooperative officers. But I was firm on taking that man to the police. Parents of girls also think that going to a police station would tarnish their daughters reputation. What do you think? Do you applaud Mandhare for taking action? 
3	US Guantanamo detainee killed in Syria while leading NATO-backed death squadTony Cartalucci Curiously absent from The Long War Journals report is any mention of how Bin Shakaran made it into northern Syria in the first place. Clearly this is because it would involve mentioning Turkey, a long-standing NATO member, with NATO being the organization that invaded and occupied Afghanistan, and whom Bin Shakaran had been fighting and ultimately fled from before being captured. The Long War Journal itself is a project of the Neo-Con Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD). The FDD has counted among its membership US politicians and policy makers such as current US Vice President Joseph Biden, William Kristol, Steve Forbes, Charles Krauthammer, Paula Dobriansky many of whom were signatories of the now notorious Project for a New American Century and who had been the chief proponents of the so-called War on Terror and the two costly conflicts fought in its name the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. The detention center in Guantanamo is part of the War on Terrors legacy, a continuous point of contention between the US government and rights activists, and clearly a failure in its alleged role of keeping dangerous terrorists off the battlefield. A Pattern That Fits Conspiracy What Bin Shakarans case appears to prove, is that Guantanamo, and the larger anti-terror network maintained by the United States is instead redirecting terrorists from NATO theaters of operation to conflict zones NATO is currently unable to directly intervene in. In Bin Shakarans case, that conflict zone is northern Syria. Bin Shakaran is joined by fellow US detainees like Abdel Hakim Belhadj, who was fighting NATO troops in Afghanistan, was briefly captured in Malaysia and tortured by the CIA in Thailand, before then leading a NATO-backed assault on the Libyan government of Muammar Qaddafi in 2011. Other members of Bin Shakarans militant group were also Guantanamo inmates. This includes Moroccan-born Mohammed al Alami who Reuters reported on in their article, Former Guantanamo prisoner killed in Syria after joining Islamist brigade. In it, Reuters stated: Reuters would add: Throngs of terrorists, whose leaders are former inmates held in US custody, harbored, funded, and armed within NATO territory, and sent into Syria with NATO air and artillery cover fits the pattern of a conspiracy rather than a series of very unlikely coincidences. It was in Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hershs 2007 article, The Redirection: Is the Administrations new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism? that prophetically stated: It is more clear than ever, with the Wests own warmongering policy makers admitting terrorists kept at their detention centers are now spearheading the fighting in a war of their own design, that the conspiracy described by Seymour Hersh in 2007 had been executed in earnest in 2011 and is continuing today. The US and its axis partners are not waging a War on Terror, they are waging a War of Terror. While they will attempt to portray the appearance of Bin Shakaran and others in Syria as the unfortunate result of poorly planned policy, it was, by their own admission, all part of the plan, years before the so-called Syrian Arab Spring began.

2	BREAKING: Trump Announces Major Position On His Team, Youre Going To Love This (Libs Are Furious) Former New York City Mayor Rudy Guiliani was an early support of Donald Trumps campaign for the presidency. Since then, he has become one of Trumps most valuable assets in battling the mainstream media. So its no wonder that speculations swirled that Trump would be giving Giuliani a role in his administration. When Giuliani was passed up for US Attorney General and Secretary of State, some wondered if he was going to be passed up. Fortunatelyit looks like that is not the case at all. Trump just announced that he is in the process of creating a White House team responsible for improving cybersecurity in the private sector and for the government. Giuliani will be a special adviser on this team, thanks to his experience as chairman of global security practice at Greenberg Traurig. Trump stated that Giuliani will be sharing his expertise and insight as a trusted friend concerning private sector cyber security problems and emerging solutions developing in the private sector. Cyber intrusion is the fastest growing crime in the United States and much of the world, Trump concluded. Its impact is felt from the individual citizen whose identity is stolen to the large private and government entities that have seen their confidential information seriously compromised. It is also a major threat to our national security. What do you think? Is Trump making the right choice? 
1	During dinner with his visiting parents at the Italian eatery Prosecco last Saturday, the only thing 29-year-old Eric Kauffman could think about was that the man and woman who had raised him, cared for him, and supported him all his life would eventually die, and that their passing would be extremely sad, sources confirmed. While Kauffman's mother and father62-year-old Elaine and 63-year-old Paullooked at the menu, discussed retirement plans, and laughed at old family anecdotes, their son is said to have sat across from them and constantly pondered numerous aspects of their inevitable deaths, including how emotionally devastating it would be the moment he received that fateful call from a hospital, how mind-boggling it was that two people he felt such deep love for would suddenly just be gone, and how it was not unrealistic to think that in 15 years, or possibly even 10, he could be an orphan. 'When you die, I honestly don't know what I'll do,' Kauffman reportedly thought as his father commented on the freshness of the bread and complimented his wife on her restaurant pick. 'The grief I'll feel will be so staggering it literally knocks the wind out of me when I think about it.' 'I'm afraid,' Kauffman mused when his mother suggested they order a plate of bruschetta for the table. 'You will die sooner rather than later and I feel like I'm running out of time with you. I'll miss you so much it scares me.' As Kauffman's mother and father talked about their upcoming vacation to Mexico and asked the waiter several questions about the specials, sources confirmed their son's brain continuously flashed between random images of himself as a child playing with his dad in the swimming pool or wearing his mother's homemade Halloween costumes, and future scenarios in which he would break down in tears while trying to deliver their eulogies. Moreover, while his father sampled the wine he'd ordered and mentioned the status of several family friends, reports indicated that Kauffman kept imagining his dad withering away on a hospital bed, breathing with the aid of a respirator, smiling sweetly, and gesturing toward his son for one last hug. 'Mom is starting to look oldthe way that old people look,' Kauffman couldn't help but observe when he stared at the facial wrinkles and liver-spotted arms of the woman who would drop everything in an instant if he needed her, and whose support he counted on even though he never said so. 'Someday I'm not going to have a mom anymore. How is that possible?' Saying 'uh-huh' as they spoke of potential Thanksgiving plans, sources later confirmed that Kauffman, a bachelor, couldn't help but wonder how painful it would be if his mother and father died before seeing him get married and have kids of his own. Moreover, Kauffman grinned politely at the mention of his sister Rebecca, who, as the passing of their grandmother had proved, would be so heartbroken by their parents' deaths that Kauffman would most assuredly have to handle all the funeral arrangements by himself. 'Funeral arrangements,' Kauffman reportedly thought, 'for my fucking parents of all people.' 'It's spicier than I imagined it would be,' the elder Kauffman said of his salmon as his son mentally noted that nearly every child had to deal with the death of a parent so what made him so special. 'Mmm, potatoes are great.' 'How's work, Eric?' the father asked his son, who responded, 'It's good,' when all that was going through his head was, 'If you died in five years it wouldn't be odd because plenty of people die when they are 68.' His mother at a nursing home suffering from Alzheimer's and unable to recognize him; his father adjusting to living by himself without his partner of 50 years and then dying alone; and the devastating task of sorting through his parents' belongings because they were no longer alive to use them were the only confirmed notions swirling in Kauffman's mind when his father asked if anyone had saved room for dessert and his mother said that she would like some coffee. 'I haven't spent nearly enough time with you, and you are the most important people to me. How crazy is that?' Kauffman thought after his father paid the bill. 'And the truly fucked up thing is that I have a feeling you will both die before I ever actually say, out loud, how much you mean to me.' Following the dinner, Kauffman's mother and father gave their son a hug outside the restaurant, got into a taxi, and were driven back to their hotel. 
2	Darryl Worley And His Wife Are Facing A Life Or Death SituationThey Need Our Prayers Darryl Worley gave us the hit song Have You Forgotten in 2003. I know I have not forgotten about this man. That song was on my playlist for about 2 years after it came out. It is oddly one of my favorite songs. Darryl and Kimberly (wife) decided to take a vacation to Fiji this week. They expected to spend days at the beach, relaxing, sleeping, eating, and dancing together. What they didnt expect was a raging storm that would prevent them from doing all of these things. Their ideal vacation quickly turned into a nightmarish scene. Right now Fiji is in the direct path of the tropical storm Winston. The storm, as of now, is a category 5. This is the first category 5 storm that Fiji has experienced (on record). The winds have escalated to an astonishing 165 mph. This is the strongest storm ever to hit Fiji. At 1 the eye was located over the Fiji airport. At that time the storm was at its strongest. Right now Winston is on track to become the strongest tropical storm ever to hit the south pacific waters east of Australia. That is absolutely crazy! Worleys friend, Neal McCoy, took to twitter asking his fans to send prayers. The tweet read, Hey yall keep Darryl Worley and his wife Kimberly in your prayers. They are in Fiji where a big Category 5 is headed. The post got almost a hundred retweets and 1,508 likes. The country star and his wife are in need of our prayers. Everyone in Fiji is in need of our prayers. Darryl Worley posted a video on twitter updating everyone. The video shows him in front of the ocean explaining how strong the winds are. You can hear the wind howling in the phones microphone. It is truly terrifying. Will you send your prayers to the country star? 
1	A news article published Tuesday about how One World Trade Center will soon become the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere contained a paragraph explaining the events of Sept. 11, sources confirmed. The new high-rise comes as the result of the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, which destroyed both World Trade Center buildings, read the paragraph, which came towards the end of the article and proceeded to explain that the militant Islamist organization al-Qaeda, led by global terrorist Osama bin Laden, was responsible for the destruction. During the attack, roughly 3,000 Americans were killed when two hijacked airliners were flown into the towers, ultimately causing them to collapse. One World Trade Center will occupy the same location where the original World Trade Center stood. Upon reading the piece, millions of readers were reportedly thankful for the paragraph, saying they were unaware as to why a new building was being built in lower Manhattan, and were relieved to learn that Osama bin Laden was killed nearly two years ago during a raid of his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

1	Once shrouded in mystery, the pyramids of Giza are now believed to be the earliest known attempt at camping out, a team of archeologists reported Monday. 'It appears that around 400 BC, the pharaohs of Egypt began packing up all of their earthly possessions for some recreational camping on the banks of the Nile,' said Dr. Tarek Hilal of Alexandria University, noting that the pyramids' dense outer walls and sharply angled faces would have been perfect for keeping rain out. 'Furthermore, it seems that the extensive hieroglyphics showing spirits embarking on a journey to the afterlife was their way of telling spooky ghost stories.' Despite the remarkable discovery, Hilal and his team are still unsure why so many ancient Egyptians decided to remove their inner organs before getting inside their stone sleeping bags at night. 
1	In his first public appearance since his death in 1843, attorney, author, and poet Francis Scott Key announced Wednesday that he would sing 'The Star Spangled Banner,' which he himself originally penned nearly 200 years ago as the poem 'The Defence Of Fort McHenry,' prior to Super Bowl XLIII. 'I plan to sing it in its entirety with all four stanzas, and to the tune of the British drinking ditty 'The Anacreontic Song,'' Key said as gobbets of desiccated flesh and hanks of hair periodically fell from his yellowed skull. 'Thank you, kind sirs, for inviting me to your Superb [sic] Bowl. I relish the opportunity to once again read my work to the worthy landowning men of this great nation.' Key attempted to amuse the press by vowing not to muddle up the lyrics, as he had done in a very embarrassing moment before a lawn-bowls match in 1829. 
3	Cancer, Cancer Everywhere ... But Not In The Presidential SuiteBy Janet Phelan However, there are indications that the cure for cancer may have already been found and that those who have it are keeping it close to their chests. In order to support this contention, which may be seen as alarming and extreme, one must look at the rates of cancer among the general population and compare these to the rates of cancer deaths among world leaders. And the latter is almost non-existent. In the US, cancer is the second leading cause of death, exceeded only by heart disease. According to recently breaking news, Australia now lists cancer as its leading cause of death. In the rest of the developed world, cancer is near the top of the list. A recent list published by the World Cancer Research Fund International shows that Denmark leads the pack in terms of cancer rates. Indeed, the list of the fifty countries with the highest cancer rates might lead one to believe that cancer is a disease of prosperity. Conspicuously absent from the list are countries in the Third Worldin particular Africa. Cancer will fell approximately of all those living in the developed world. However, this particular manifestation of the Grim Reaper gives world leaders a wide berth. Since 1980, when the exiled Shah of Iran succumbed to lymphatic cancer in Egypt, the deaths by cancer of those leading their nations can be counted on the fingers of one hand. And what is most telling about those on this short list is where they stood on the political spectrum. Hugo Chavez, the colorful and controversial President of Venezuela between 1999-2013, was a Socialist and prominent adversary of US foreign policy and neo-liberalism. Before succumbing to cancer in 2013, Chavez made a much publicized radio announcement in which he speculated that the US government gave him cancer. Chavez has been quoted as saying, Would it be so strange that theyve invented the technology to spread cancer and we wont know about it for 50 years? He is also quoted as saying Fidel [Castro] always told me, Chvez take care. These people have developed technology. You are very careless. Take care what you eat, what they give you to eat a little needle and they inject you with I dont know what. Since his death Venezuela has crumbled into economic chaos. Vaclav Havel, who was the last president of Czechoslovakia and the first President of the Czech Republic, is somewhat of a more ambiguous character. While he is seen as being a pivotal player in breaking up the Soviet bloc, and therefore bringing what is popularly termed democracy to a formerly Communist country, he may have also been serving US and CIA interests, either unintentionally or otherwise. In his period of political dissidence, prior to ascending to power, Havel was imprisoned a number of times, the longest incarceration being four years. As President, Havel was instrumental in dismantling the Warsaw Pact and expanding NATO into Eastern European countries. Havel died of lung cancer in 2011 at the age of 75. Jack Layton, the head of Canadas New Democratic Party, succumbed to an unspecified, newly diagnosed cancer in 2011. So when the NDP swept the national parliamentary elections in 2011, winning 103 seats, the NDP became Canadas Official Opposition. Laytons tenancy as head of the opposition was short lived, however. Layton succumbed to cancer less than four months later, passing on in August of 2011. He had been committed to ousting the conservative Harper government. Following Laytons death, the NDP tumbled from its position and currently occupies third place in Canadas parliament. As Prime Minister of the tiny island of Barbados, David Thompson could only marginally have been considered a world leader. The population of Barbados is less than 300,000, mostly black. Barbados, also known as Little England, is an independent state with the British monarch as hereditary head of state. Thompson was in office from 2008 until October of 2010, when he passed away from pancreatic cancer, one of the most deadly forms of the Big C. Statistically, since cancer is listed as cause of death in roughly of all deaths, one might logically expect that one quarter of the US Presidents and one quarter of the US Vice Presidents, to pick one example, would have cancer listed as cause of death. With 44 Presidents and 47 Vice Presidents, one might think that somewhere in the realm of 24 or so might have succumbed to cancer. However, there are none. Zero. Zilch. A search for cancer as a cause of death for German, French or British leaders in the past forty years produces only one name, that of former French President Francois Mitterrand, who succumbed to prostate cancer in 1996 at the age of 80. Mitterrand was the first French President who was a Socialist and he led the nation for fourteen years, as its longest serving President. Since the 1972 throat cancer death of Edward VIIIwho abdicated the throne in 1936no members of British royalty have died of cancer. In October of this year, the World Cancer Leaders Summit will be convening in Paris, France. The announcement for this Summit states that The World Cancer Leaders Summit brings together global decision makers who can shape the way our generation addresses the task of eliminating cancer as a life threatening disease for future generations. Their announcement also states, The Summit plays a pivotal role in this portfolio of global events by ensuring that the 2020 targets detailed in the World Cancer Declaration are appropriately recognised and addressed at the highest political levels. However, those at the highest political levels are often seen as escaping repercussions for criminal behavior and worse. The idea of the Teflon-coated political elite is an idea that has now gained generalalbeit grimacceptance. Given the probability that the cure may already exist, in light of the unusual lack of incidence of fatal cancers afflicting the powerful, one might want to ask the Summit if the world leaders might be willing to share please?

Cancer is a fungus-like growth that only thrives in an acidic environment; it cannot even survive in the body of a person that maintains a pH in the high neutral/alkalinity range, so it is easily preventable. It is curable by various natural means, including high doses of curcumin, high doses of laetrile (known as vitamin B-17, which has been outlawed by the FDA since 1970), or high doses of CBD oil (which the FDA is desperately trying to regulate). Cancerlike open-air prisons, two-party political systems, and the tv show The Goldbergsis unnecessary. Unlikely; this theory has no research support. WE have know since the 30s that cancer is a resperation problem and develops in an oxygen starved environment and thrives on acidic conditions. You are making medical claims for which there is no evidence and dangerously offer false hope, tho you have no background in oncology research. Wild animals get cancer.how is that correlated with it is unnecessary. Wild exaggerations and claims are dangerous. Dont believe everything you read. And dont promote ideas that you believe but can provide no real research to support. Your humor is appreciated but it masks a cruel hoax in offering false hope to people like me, my 10th year into fighting cancer. I will start Vit B17 and mitoq since all my other Nothing is more cruel than false hope. We shall let the reader compare my comment to yours. I will add: Dr. Royal Raymond Fife, and Dr. James Jeffrey Bradstreet. Your assignment is to read up on these two fine gentlemen. One last thing: my comment is not funny. You are giving me assignments. I already have one, an appointment with an oncologist involved in immunotherapy. But I am always happy to learn, so I am looking up the doctors. I do not take him seriously and his research was not peer-reviewed, relegating it to the ash heap of unproven theories. Royal Rife? Wiki gives 5 primary sources for this summary: Also you forgot that fraud Wakefield whose own co-researches have claimed he falsified data. I dont buy it, and I have been into alternative medicine for 60 years. The quacks, the crackpots, and their followers do not interest me. I will try any natural supplement which have peer-reviewed research and I take no prescription drugs. If all else fails, I will try immunotherapy from my Standford oncologist. I have tried dozens of sure cures which failed. I have not given up but I have no time to waste with pseudo-science. Your faux impassioned plea for sympathy has fallen on deaf ears; we are familiar with such Alinsky tactics. We do notice that we are making you work for your paycheck, though. There is no plea for sympathy but for critical thinking. You say WE so who is paying you to rub out anyone with dissenting ideas to the herd thinking you assume of other activistpost readers? Alinksy tactics included false pleas for sympathy? Are real pleas ok? This is not work, and you still me $500 bucks for my last article. I do it out of love of the truth about a subject I have a vital interest in, as I try to cure my cancer. That is not a plea but the foundation of my passion. Your libel is funny..and I note you totally ignore the evidence I present. You said get back after checking out the doctors and I did and then you ignored it. Your cold and lying words would be insulting if they were not patently absurd. I forgive you, for you know not what you do. Well, youve got an appointment with an oncologist, and I have to pick my nose. Why dont you have the last word? Ohand that forgiveness? The only one who can forgive me is myself. But thanks anyway. Foregiveness is given. It lives in my heart: I forgive you and hope you will get over your nastyness, especially to people suffering from cancer. My last word is: I foregive you for your nastiness.you are probably a good person who just likes to troll and vent on the internet. I wish you well Man.that was some suckya$$ last words. Ok, take 2. Aw, cmon, man. You call THAT a last word? I can see we need a huddle, here. Ok now, the problem we have here is that you sound a little jee eh why. Normally I would say that is NOT a bad thing, but you have a Jerry Sandusky/Barack Obama-type of jee eh why vibe goin on, and that is just weak. You want to be cue you ee ee are STRONG, my man. Like Val Kilmer in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Or Buck Henry in The Man Who Fell To Earth. Even better, like that record producer in Clint Eastwoods Jersey Boys. Now, that eff eh jee jee oh tee is lip-bitingly hot, and but more importantly he projects STRENGTH. Ok? Ok, then, so.Last Word, Take 2. Readers who accept non-peer reviewed claims over peer-reviewed are unqualified to make a rational comparison. Like most gullible people who fall for quackery, you ignore the evidence and facts I presented because they dont fit your beliefs. Your comment is NOT funny; it is dangeous, as it offers false hope and dismisses serious criticism of amateur research not subject to peer review. I find you command to look into a couple of quacks kind of funny, however. LOL. Very good article and in particular those poor individuals that get cancer and those who dont. You never see the zios get cancer but if you oppose them like Chavez, Aaron Russo, Doug Christie, Anthony Lawson, these individual seem to get insidious cancers. Yet the chosenites seem immune Kissinger, Albright, Rockerfeller, and all the old zios that run well into their 90s. (H.W. B. Bush). They can give it but they rarely get it. Add George Pratts Schulz and a host of other putrid zios. Probably have access to Dr. Stanislaw Burzynskis antineoplastons which he discovered way back in the 70s. By now the treatment could have been perfected. Instead, Burzynski is being hounded again with government threats and negative media coverage. Theres also Dr. Nicolas Gonzalez on record having saved patients from advanced stage pancreatic cancer using food, supplements, and detoxing. He was on to the nagalase link to cancer before he died of a heart attack (???) despite being a very healthy man with no history of heart disease. Even 40 years after Burzynski started peddling his antineoplastons, they have never shown any significant anticancer activity in any trial conducted by him or anyone else for that matter. The Dr. Gonzalez protocol was tested in pancreatic cancer (PubMed PMC2860407). Not only was the median (half) survival of patients in the Gonzalez therapy group worse than it was for the chemo group, it was three times worse. At one year, 56% of the chemotherapy patients were alive and only 16% of the Gonzalez protocol patients were. In addition to this the Gonzalez therapy patients did than the average pancreatic cancer patient as determined by the survival curve derived from data from the SEER Database. Also the patients in the Gonzalez therapy group had a much poorer quality of life on top of this. George VI died of lung cancer, then there was the Queens sister (Margaret) who had part of her lung removed because of a lung cancer scare. Prince Michael of Kent had prostate cancer and even the Queen Mother had colon and breast cancer too. Sharing please is not going to work! You have to hold their feet to the fire. Definitely they have some knowledge of resistance or cure. The elites dont eat GMO! Agree and no process foods. My grandfather loved to 106, had he own garden, walked a couple of miles everyday, did not smoke but did have snuff (ug). Nor do I and I have cancer! My guess is that many political leaders, being clueless on diet, eat meat, 99% of which contains GMO (97% factory farmed, 2.7% pasture fed which includes up to 20% GMO alfalfa, and only .3% organic being non-GmO. Unless leaders eat like the organic Obamas, they are ingesting GMO. People who reject science, global warming, etc are unlikely to be sophisticated about the harm of GMO food production (72% glyphosate: carcinogenic). Stop making claims you cant back up. Dale, yours is a passionate response to be sure. There are natural ways to fight cancer; I know because I rejected the usual cures of chemo and radiation for a more organic approach. My cancer began to disappear in four months and was completely gone six months out. The tumor was located between my clavicle bone and shoulder. It reached the size of a golf ball before I started my natural regimen. This even worked for my dog Casey who had an extremely aggressive form of cancer called hemangiosarcoma the size of a cantaloupe for which there are few solutions. He was given two months to live (tops) and I had him still alive, happy and functional for almost a year, his tumor shrank down to the size small than two golf balls right next to each other, until his hip displacia boiled everything down to a quality-of-life issue. I miss him. The regimen I used was based on process now know as the anti-angiogenic diet. The basic foods or supplements I used were raw almonds, lots of onions and garlic on my food, corral calcium, Turmeric (curcumin), Vitamin E and Vitamin D, strawberries, blueberries and alpha lipoic acid and acetyl L-carnitine. Why does it work? Long story, but the simplest answer is that cancer cells grow much faster than normal cells and for this reason, have to acquire a blood supply that grows with the tumor. Otherwise the tumor eventually outstrips its food supply and will stall out and die. The trick is to do all you need to stop the growth of that blood supply. It is rooted in the production of an enzyme by tumors called COX-2 (cyclo-oxygenase 2) which stimulates the growth of new capillaries and blood vessels (angio-genesis) that seek out the source of the COX-2 enzyme; namely the tumor. Some of the latest anti-angiogenic NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs) like Avastin are what youd call COX-2 re-uptake inhibitors. They even have a version for pets like Metacam. But they are very toxic, and can cause lots of digestive problems, including ulcers and bleeding. There are components in these foods and vitamins listed above that have powerful natural COX-2 re-uptake inhibitor qualities without the toxic side-effects, like the flavenoids in onions and garlic as one example. There are scientific studies that show conclusively the certain populations (Italians for example) have significantly lower levels of certain cancers that have been linked to their diets which are high in onions, garlic and tomatoes. The best explanation Ive seen was the TED video lecture by Dr. William Li at this link: https://www.ted.com/talks/william_li?language=en Thank you for the thoughtful response. I have been reading real cancer research, and it is very complicated. Good for you that it worked, but it hasnt for me. My experience is that people with zero background in medicine, let alone oncology research, continue to tell me of a cure. In all cases, I have tried that cure and it failed. I will continue my alkaline vegan diet with supplements, mushrooms, etc etc and alkaline water and I will be adding mitoq and mitotemp, which research shows to be very effective in actually getting to the mitochondria and killing cancer cells. Its expensive but then what good is my money if I did? I also have also order vitamin B-17 so I can up my dose of apricot kernal extract, and I will take aspirin with it, as the combination has had striking success in targeting and killing cancer cells. I am also seeing a regular oncologist who specializes in immunotherapy in case none of this natural treatment works. Ten years ago, I took one year with alternative treatments: no results. Now I have tried cannabis, curcumin VIT C and E, D3, etc etc etc. No results. I will keep trying but when people tell me they have the cure, I usually find that the cure did not work for me. It worked for you and your dog.thats great. But the stuff you mentioned has not worked. So I keep trying. What works for one person obviously does not work for all. I will try anything which does no harm, tho I have learned to dismiss claims that someone has the cure. If someone really had the cure, there would be no cancer. NSAIDs are very effective, in the research, and very cheap.and yet, many who regularly take aspirin get cancer. I am going to try the combination researchers found successful in many cases: MitoQ with MitoTempo with aspirin. I hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Dinner was: tomato, onion, garlic, microgreens, watercress, almonds and other nuts and seeds, with honey/ginger dressing and a good dose of lemon (which makes alkaline). I popped a mouthful of Vit C, D3, B complex, and E, as well as taurine, selenium, curcumin, garlic pills, flax oil, hemp oil, and a few others, taking it down with my alkalinized water (I filter with brita, then put that water in a my zero water device which alkalines and mineralizes. I do not use added sugar and not even fruit juice, just smoothies with fiber,etc. I eat broccoli every day of my life. I have been on an anti-cancer diet for 50 years, tho in my 20s and 30s I ate a lot of candy. I live in a very clean area, in the Redwood forests of the Santa Cruz mountains with the largest biomass and oxygen producer in the world, the 180 ft trees on my property, tho I earlier have lived in more polluted environments such as the slums of NY City. I thank you for your response. I will keep experimentingand if all else fails, I will seek the immunotherapy treatment, which relies on the bodies own immune system to fight cancer and has been very successful so far. Cancer is still very much a mystery, as the research makes clear. No disease has as many untrained experts on cancer, nor so few trained professionals that will say We have the cure. There may be dozens of cures that work for some but not others. Studies of twins has shown a genetic component to cancer, or a vulnerability linked to DNA. So my DNA may be vulnerable and yours not. Thanks again. Dale there may be another way which perhaps you have tried, in the Truth About Cancer series one connecting factor in all of the various cures was the Mind, Heart, Spirit or prayerful meditative aspect in ancient traditions medicine or healing is that which works, even the word medicine is rooted in the words for remedy- meditate also comes from the same root word. Sometimes the healing requires a deep inner work which may take time, each insight will lead you to the next step, ask the Creator to guide you to the healing, it may be as much spiritual as physical healing that takes place, there may be some changes in life that need to be taken, besides what you have already endured letting go of things which give rise to suffering/difficulty, stressful situations or people letting go of old past injuries, etc., I used meditation exclusively as I live in a developing country where the treatments are not very advanced, I had no choice but to go very deep into my Heart/Mind and talk to my dna, ancestors, karma, the Lord, forgiveness, everything. this lead to finding those things which help support the healing.. there is now much more info about meditation healing, as well as the epi-genetics, changablility of the dna, it is all impermanent and can change. One other issue that is extremely important for my own health, and does affects our bodies ph, is naturally occurring phytic (grains, nuts, seeds and beans) and/or oxalic acid ( many vegetables) in natural foods. We have been fermenting, souring and sprouting foods for 1000s of years and only recently the practice is regaining the necessary attention. The necessary information is obtained through google, so I wont get into it here but one other important thing is that tomato and pepper seeds have a natural protective barrier that is toxic and I definitely have to remove these before eating. I make my own cayenne pepper minus the seeds and I grow and freeze my own tomatoes minus the seeds. Yes, this is my diet: I have been vegetarian for 50 years, vegan the last 15. All I eat are what you mention, and I toss a little hot pepper power I was given in Costa Rica on every meal. I take no prescription drugs. If all else fails (and I will try anything that does no harm), I am scheduled to see an oncologist who specializes in immunotherapy, which uses the bodys own immune system and has had great results so far. But, because of genetic differences (proven in studies of twins), which is a part of the picture, some are more vulnerable than others, which may explain why a cure which worked in 4 months for one person will fail in another. I recently, during my cannabis extract treatment, lost 40 lbs so I am a much healthier weight and can sleep longer, also essential to health. Thank you for your suggestions on diet, which I endorse. Hey Dale I am not sure if I agree that being vegan is the healthiest choice unless your stomach is working optimally and can recycle B12. There are other necessary factors for good health that are only obtained from animal foid sources. I definitely dont support the animal torture going on but a true fact is that chickens were domesticated 3000BC. I got zero water, only to find that while my tap water is about 7 ph, the zero water, after all solids are removed, is very very acidthe worst water I could drink! They dont tell this as many buy it for health reasons. Turns out the solids they filter out in an acid filter are what makes water alkaline. So now I am buying different waters advertised as alkaline, a premium added. One, from the place where I had the best water in my life(Dunsmuir,Ca near Mt Shasta. It was natural and said: 7.8=8.2. It measured 7.5, just above my tap water.Another tested 7.8. So bought the purified with minerals added, which claims 9-9.5,still to test and found at a local chain (Raleys) the bargain basement brand, still to test. I am using only those over 8. I have read that adding lemon to water will turn it alkaline, so I will test that. As for the dichloroacetate, I tried that, buying it online before it was banned, from a vet website. The study in Canada obseved that puppies given this hideous chemical,had an ungainly gait. Hmnnn.so I took it, perhaps overdid it, and it brought my PSA down, but then stalled. The side effect was peripheral neuropathy in my fingers and toes.my toes, 11 years later, are still afflicted. Its permanent. Thursday, I see an oncologist who does immunotherapy. The Dr. B sounds sketchy: Wikipedia has two sources for this: The clinics version of personalized medicine bears little resemblance to targeted cancer therapy, as the clinic includes chemotherapy drugs and antineoplastons are part of this treatment. This link offers a detailed analysis of what is viewed as snake oil, which the good Doctor, of course sells. I do NOT take medical advice from people with a conflict of interest in selling me something. https://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/stanislaw-burzynski-antineoplastons-and-the-orphan-drug-sodium-phenyl-butyrate/. The author of the critizue, Dr. Gorski observes:it turns out that a lot of Burzynskis patients who have been featured in news stories as successes or potential successes are found to be neither when someone bothers to follow up on them to see how theyre doing now. This is very similar to the group of patients featured when Dr. Burzynski first gained fame for his cancer therapy back in 1988 after Sally Jesse Raphaels show featured four miracle patients of Burzynskis, who, according to her, had had incurable cancer and failed conventional therapies but were rendered cancer-free, thanks to Dr. Burzynski. Unfortunately, four years later in 1992, Inside Edition followed up these four patients and found that two of the four had died and a third had recurred, while the fourth had had bladder cancer with a good prognosis. In that report, the widow of one of Raphaels guests reported that her husband and five others had sought treatment from Burzynski and that all had died. Yikes! Heres another report: The Clinic clearly states that antineoplastons are nontoxic. That is untrue. The most obvious issue that has arisen is hypernatremiaan overload of sodium in the blood, which will cause serious complications. Seizures and swelling of the brain were also reported. This treatment is a form of chemotherapy. The body is being overloaded with something that is not normally present. There will be side effects. It is not nontoxic. [Source] The Burzynski Research Institute (BRI) studies and synthesizes antineoplastons. In the forty years that antineoplastons have been known, there has yet to be definitive evidence that shows this treatment works as described. Thats a long time. Wheres the evidence? there have been no randomized controlled trials (RCTs) done, the gold standard of medical research studies. Why there have not been RCTs is a highly relevant question that Dr. B. has dodged. He has not walked the walk or done the work necessary to constitute solid scientific research. His preliminary trials for antineoplastons were problematic. [Source] Over sixty trials (called Phase II trials) have been registered in the appropriate databases, yet only one was stated to be complete and nothing has been published on any of them. Where are the rest? The trials continue. Unreported. http://www.csicop.org/specialarticles/show/burzynski_clinic_a_scientifical_year_of_fail The Doctor is not an oncologist or geneticist: he appears to be a quack. Like many snake oil salesmen, he has a kind of cult following with supporter claiming the medical profession fears his alternative cancer treatments,which include chemotherapy, etc. I thank you for your concern but in 11th year of dealing with cancer, I am offered,with the kindest intentions, much that is fraudulent. I will investigate real immunotherapy,continue my alkaline, low-methionine vegan diet and add new supplements like mitoq and vit B-17,all of which have real research behind them. Another friend,an oncologist from Serbia,has told me Provenge is very promising. Meanwhile, I have lost 40 lbs and am an athletic 6/175 lbs,with my energy coming back after the intense sedation of my unsuccessful cannabis extract treatment. I am also looking into mitotempo, to go with mitoq and.aspirin, a combination with huge promise. You are so kind to seek to help methank you, sir. Hi, Dale, My apologies for the delayed response. There are several other items that have come to my attention in recent times. One- the therapy involving anti-neoplastons developed by a Dr. Burzynski has shown great promise, especially in the successful remission of cancer types that are notorious for their resistance to treatment, like astrocytoma- (brain cancer.) As I understand it, our immune systems have a component that detects and attacks abnormal cells, before they can develop into tumors. He extracts these anti-neoplastons from the patients blood, treats them in a way that multiplies their numbers, then re-injects them back into the patients body. His success has caused an uproar in the pharmaceutical industry, which has tried to block implementation of this therapy through their hacks in the FDA for nearly twenty years because it would make chemotherapy and radiation obsolete, costing them billions of dollars in revenue. Theres a very remarkable movie about the doctors work, called simply The Burzynski Movie. You can find it easily in a Google search. Also, Ive heard positive mention made of a supplement called dichloroacetate. From what I understand it was banned in the U.S. just as it began to show great oncological promise in humans, but it can still be obtained from sources in China as a treatment for cancer in pets. A 100% pure product is recommended by those who have used it, but I cannot say from any personal experience if it works as effectively as is claimed. Finally, let me say (without being preachy or dogmatic) that I will hold you up in prayer for putting this problem behind you once and for all. Warm Regards, Mark. Also see the Truth About Cancer information. (Ty Bollinger) The symposium he sponsored (a couple of weeks ago) brought together many different natural cancer doctors (all types). What they all understand is that there are MANY natural cures for cancer, and they each talked about their own ideas/protocols to help people overcome their cancers without having to endure the traditional treatments. Ty Bollinger got involved in researching what forms of natural cancer treatments were out there after his father died of cancer. Had I known about this, I would have had my own father seeing one of these doctors. Im sure thats at least part of it Excellent work, Janet. These mass murderers are definitely suppressing the cure for cancer. Worse yet, they know how not to get cancer because they know the covert chemical and biological methods of depopulation and are protecting themselves and their families while poisoning the rest of us into sterility and early death. Jack Layton died of aggressive Prostate Cancer. I think they killed him, as most men with Prostate Cancer die of old ago first. My father ignored signs for years and when diagnosed it was pretty advanced. He was 77 when diagnosed, he is now almost 91 with excellent PSA tests. they have ways to selectively give the enemy cancer. Yep just ask the relatives of the six leaders of South American countries who died of cancer in a single decade. A South American organization has sent a formal letter alleging the USA was behind it. It is just the Bush, Clinton, Rockefeller, Rothschild et al who do not die of Cancer or anything else come to think of it. Nice dot connecting work, Janet. The cancer-killing properties of cannabis have been known for decades. Perhaps theyre all taking CBD or some similar secret (to the rest of us) compound. Its also a known fact the CIA can inject cancer into anyone easily, its simple, undetectable silent wet work if youre not a super hurry to get rid of a socialist. They tried it out on Bob Marley for sure, and who knows how many others. It beats a bullet in the head for many reasons and situations. DAMN good point Perhaps its not so much a cure which the elites have found but, rather, a lifestyle and dietary measures that prevent cancer in the first place. Possibly also less exposure to cancer-causing environmental and so-called therapeutic synthetic chemicals. watch Glyphosate, which is saturating many GMO based foods, is a carcinogen, it is also an antibiotic, and chemical mimick of glycine, the non-essential amino acid, related to fast proliferating cancer growth. Glyphosate was recently also found in vaccines, almost all tested by Dr. Samsel.. So not only GMOs, chemicals, sugar, lack of oxygen, contribute to cancer, but also vaccines, indirectly through glyphosate and directly through many other toxins, among others formaldehyde, one of the most potent carcinogens Yes, this article is great as it sheds the light on who knows what and why some people, I call, VICTIMS, have to die of cancer The article should mention the Jimmy Carter case, who defeated cancer at an advanced age in a matter of weeks or a few months. How did that happen? He left the country to get cured Here are important facts on cancer that must be shared and spead: *Vaccines are a major cancer causing weapon, why else would they push it so hard. Dr Mary ended badlyas did LHOJudy is still alive and well, but in hiding. THEYareDESPICABLE add Steve Jobs to your list, his birth father was Syrian, he would be opposed to the NSA desired back-door to the products.. In America, cancer is predominately caused by smoking and the consumption of animal products. Animal products are loaded with hormones and endotoxins. They lack fiber, phytochemicals and antioxidants. They induce obesity and impair blood flow, which prevents the immune system from working property. They cause inflammation which is another load on the immune system. The reason why Africa and India have such low cancer rates is clear. Just look at their annual meat consumption. The same with meningitis. Have u ever seen or heard of a royal/rich person having been mutilated by meningitis? I for one dont. Looks like there are diseases especially made for the sheeple. Dr. Rath is a snake oil salesman. There is no doubt Vit C is important to health, but he has made claims not backed by research and widely criticized, as well as being judged against for deceptive claims, etc in courts. His methods are unethical, his claims hype, his goal: to make money selling vitamins, which is his source of income. In South Africa, he took AIDS patients off their medication, basically kidnapped them, and told them if they got sick, not to go to the hospital but back to his clinic. Many died. I am into natural cures, but people like Dr. Mercola and Rath use natural remedies as a form of conning people to sell supplements. I am not against natural remedies or vitamins and supplements: I am on a natural treatment (so far not working) and my diet, for 50 years is full of foods loaded with lysine, proline, and Vit C. I have eaten foods rich in lysine for 55 years, including lentils, soy, etc, all high in lysine. I am taking large doses of Vit C. And soy, which I like the centenarians of Okinawa, eat soy everyday. My entire diet is anti-cancer and has been for most of my life. I avoid quacks and doctors who make their money selling products they make exaggerated claims for. I find an ethical and medical conflict of interest.in promoting a controversial treatment and then selling the products for it. I do not disagree that high doses of Vit C may help fight cancer, and I am taking high doses, but it hasnt had an effect, sadly. Nor has a lifetime of eating tofu and tempeh, which are rich in proline and other anti-cancer compounds. I am 75, had my prostate removed 10 yrs ago and had 8 yrs of no cancer but it has come back, at a low PSA level (now .6) but growing. The last thing a cancer patient needs is a conventional doctor who knows nothing of the relationship of diet and health OR a quack doctor making unsupportable exaggerations about products he himself sells. Thanks for the link, Michele. The Disqus notification didnt come through when you posted this. I only noticed this because James Peters (Big Pharma pro-vaccine shill) popped up again to reply to my comment from 3 weeks ago with his usual copy/paste nonsense. Anyway, Im familiar with Rife and believe he was onto one aspect of cancer. I took grad/med oncology courses studying cancer at the genetic and molecular levels, this stuff is right up my alley. Rife was definitely a genius. Thanks for the nudge to dig deeper into his work! 
2	The Obamas Just Bought A House For Post Presidential Life... Are They Coming To Your Town? According to recent reports, the Obamas are planning to buy a $4.25 million dollar mansion near Palm Springs. The mansion comes complete with a two-story waterfall and putting green. The Los Angeles Times received the news from an unidentified real estate source, who claims that the Obamas are in escrow on the lavish estate. They would join Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, and Bing Crosby among those who have lived in the gated community of Thunderbird Heights. In the middle of the desert property is a lavish modern house with four bedrooms, more bathrooms to match, and a master retreat that is equipped with a gym, and tanning and spa room. The estate covers more than 3 private acres. They would also be joining former President Gerald R. Ford is what is being deemed the playground of Presidents Although the listing agents for the house could not be reached for comment, it is reported that the Obamas stayed in the neighborhood during Fathers Day weekend, where they allegedly fell in love with the place. And, they would be getting the house at a relative bargain. It was listed for $9.5 million in 2006. What do you think? Have the Obamas gotten out of control? 
2	Walmart Surrenders To Shariah Law In THIS Disgusting Way According to recent reports, a Wal-Mart in Ohio has given in to Muslim demands and started offering meat that has been prepared halal-style. This is just another example of America being forced to accommodate Islamic Shariah law, offering benefits to the minority rather than to the needs of the majority. Unfortunately, halal meats are often associated with methods of brutal slaughter. In fact, one Miami Student has decided to speak out against the organization for condoning the inhumane treatment of these animals. The root of the problem stems from the fact that Oxford assistant professor Tareq Hasan Khan paired with the Muslim Student Association (MSA) of Miami University to create a petition demanding that Wal-Mart begin providing meats slaughtered in a manner acceptable by halal standards. Although the petition only received 50 signatures, the superstore decided to implement the controversial change anyway. According to the definition held within the Quran, halal livestock must be slaughtered by slitting the throat of the beast, and bleeding the animal out. What do you think of Wal-Marts decision to allow such practices? 
3	HIV Vaccine: Experiment to Re-engineer the Human Immune SystemSusanne Posel, Contributor For more than 3 decades, scientists have been working on an AIDS vaccine. Trials conducted by Merck in 2007actually made those who took the vaccine more susceptible to the disease. Then in 2009, human experiments in Thailand pointed drug corporations toward a powerful vaccine that utilized immune system generated antibodies as the answer to their dilemma. New vaccines focus on tricking the human body to reject the HIV/AIDS virus by manipulating the immune system. This mutation is suspected to be able to assist the human body in identifying and neutralizing the virus. Scientific teams from various institutions like the Scripps Research Institute, the Rockefeller University, NIAIDs Vaccine Research Centerand Duke University are closely following how they can use the human bodys immune system against the array of HIV strains that keep popping up. US government intervention with the National Institutes of Healthin 2005 identified the human immunodeficiency virus as the cause of AIDS. Dr. Barton Haynes, of Duke University and director of the Center for HIV/AIDS Vaccine Immunology (CHAVI) asserted that: We know the face of the enemy. Hayes research showed that vaccinated men and women developed antibodies in the region of the viruss outer coat, which suggests that this element should be further studied. New experimental trials will take place in Thailand, using a Sanofi vaccine that has an additive from Norvartis. Michael urges financing for the relationship between Sanofi and Norvartis where vaccines will be deployed in South Africa where a suspect and different strain of HIV has been identified. Michaels team is also working with Harvard Universitys Johnson Johnson Crucell unit (JJCU) which has varied versions of the common cold virus and the smallpox virus on hand for research purposes. The JJCU is a collaborative effort of Merck, the National Institutes of Medicine and other biotech corporations that specialize in researching the viral effects of genetically engineered viruses on the human and animal immune system. After the human experiments are finished, pharmaceutical corporations hope to have a licensed HIV vaccine available to the public by 2019. Progress on the AIDS vaccine will be released at the International AIDS Society 2012 conference (IAS) in Washington, DC later this month; of which Hayes will be a guest speaker. The IAS conference endeavors to certain international goals and objectives: Gottfried Himschall, HIV/AIDS chief at the World Health Organization (WHO) announcedthat pharmacological research will create an arsenal of drugs that could help end new infections. Although Himschall admits that drug corporations answer for HIV vaccines are still not perfect, he is convinced that research into preventing HIV in healthy people is the way to go. Current experiments into the nature of HIV/AIDS, and the human immune systems response to the virus, extend back to the 1980s. Wangari Maathai, a Kenyan ecologist and Nobel Peace Prize winner, vehemently asserted that HIV was created in a laboratory deliberately as a bio-weapon for population control. Maathai said: Some say that AIDS came from the monkeys, and I doubt that because we have been living with monkeys (since) time immemorial, others say it was a curse from God, but I say it cannot be that. And that HIV was created with the intention as an agent to wipe out other people . . . In fact [the HIV virus] was created by a scientist for biological warfare. Why has there been so much secrecy about AIDS? When you ask where did the virus come from, it raises a lot of flags. That makes me suspicious. Under cover of a smallpox vaccineinitiative, WHO went into Africa where an estimated 100 million Africans were inoculated. The immunization was actually a cancer-causing immunosuppressive virus that was developed by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Dr. Robert Strecker has explained in his books that Africans were infected with HIV during the smallpox vaccine distribution; as laid out by WHO in a memorandum from 1972. Prior to 1979, there were no reported cases of HIV/AIDS in Africa, according to Luc Montagnier, a French Pasteur scientist. US government-sponsored experiments in 1978 1981 with homosexual males produced an official AIDS epidemic that originated in New York City. According to an annual volume of the Special Cancer Virus Program, human experimentation with cancer-causing and immunosuppressive viruses was essential. With the gay plague and gay cancer, such experiments were no longer necessary. The deaths of thousands of gay men proved that these viruses caused cancer, immunosuppression, and were sexually transmissible between people. HIV/AIDS has been developed as a bio-weapon of mass depopulation capabilities, but now the global Elite are stepping up their intention with research into the abilities of the human immune system, which could result in a vaccine that would cause the human immune system to become ineffective.

1	The human rights organization Amnesty International launched a high-pressure publicity campaign Monday on behalf of Timorese political prisoner Sampit Ujungpandang, calling for him to be given access to 'gentler, less abrasive facial soaps immediately.' Describing the 'shocking lack of adequate skin moisturizers' in Ujungpandang's 4'x4' prison cell, the group claims that if he is not given higher-quality cleansers soon, the 43-year-old resistance leader will suffer 'excessive facial drying, flaking and wrinkling, causing his skin to appear years older.' 'All human beings have the right to healthier, younger-looking skin,' said Ellen Clark, Amnesty International spokesperson. Imprisoned since 1976, Ujungpandang was captured in May of that year after death squad commandos wiped out his family during Indonesia's internationally condemned annexation of East Timor. Wrote the jailed resistance leader from his cell in 1991, '[Indonesian president] Suharto's soldiers may bruise my body and torture me to the verge of death, but my spiritthe spirit of freedom for all peoplecan never be broken. Though they burn my testicles with red-hot iron pincers, they will never touch my soul.' The U.S. government, which since the mid-'70s has deferred imposing sanctions on the oil-rich Indonesian government despite calls for condemnation by human rights watchdogs worldwide, has thus far resisted intervening on behalf of Ujungpandang. According to Amnesty International, political prisoner Sampit Ujungpandang, shown here in a secret surveillance video, is being jailed without access to high-quality moisturizing soap. 'The United States is not prepared to condemn Indonesia for inadequately mild facial scrubs, nor will it take the position that such scrubs as have been presently employed are excessively harsh. This skin-sensitivity issue is a question best left to policy-makers within Indonesia,' read an official State Department press release. 'We also deny shipping Suharto those last several boatloads of chemical weapons.' According to one Indonesia expert, Ujungpandang's plight should cause Americans to put their problems in perspective. 'In terms of living conditions, Indonesia is light-years behind the United States,' said J. Arthur Schaeffer, Yale University professor of Southeast Asian Studies. 'Here in America, our prosperity has placed us beyond such recurring Third World problems as dry, flyaway hair, lack of rec room space, and problem household odors.' 'In fact,' Schaeffer continued, 'in Indonesia, facial tissue doesn't even contain any aloe vera lotion. We're talking about lotion which is absolutely vital to preventing one's nose from feeling raw and irritated after prolonged bouts of sneezing, something we as Americans take for granted as one of our basic human rights.' Despite the U.S. government's reluctance to come to Ujungpandang's aid, word of the jailed resistance leader's plight is spreading among the international human rights community. 'When I think of that poor man, his pores becoming clogged and irritated, his skin losing its luster, day after day, my heart goes out to him,' said Roberto Guerrero of the Berkeley-based FreedomNow! organization. 'It is up to us, the citizenry of the world's most privileged nations, to be aware that not all people have access to the same moisturizing and skin care that we enjoy here at home. Please help us help Ujungpandang before his skin ages prematurely.' Ujungpandang could not be reached for comment, as he was busy hanging upside down, face-first, in an electrified tub of water, having the soles of his feet beaten at the time. 
3	Silver Spikes to 22 Month High, Driven By Heightened Volatility, Lingering UncertaintyBy Mac Slavo It was no surprise to see gold increasing as a result of the climate surrounding Britains referendum, but now the commodities market is taking off in a very bullish way. And now it seems that silver is catching up. The spot price has been steadily gaining in the wake of the global economic uncertainty, and it suddenly hit a 22-month high at just above $19 per ounce. The chances appear strong that the rally will continue, at least in the short term. Reuters reported that: Silver breached the $19 an ounce level to reach the highest since September 2014. [] Gold rose on Friday and was headed for its fifth straight weekly gain, boosted by a weaker dollar as the safe-haven asset continued to be in demand despite an increase in risk appetite post the Brexit vote. Looking ahead, it seems that gold will remain one of the major beneficiaries in the current backdrop, as heightened volatility and lingering uncertainty will keep investors risk appetite in check, the bank [Societe Generale] said in a note. Apparently, the value of gold and silver have returned into plain view as a safe haven from the currency swings going on with the Pound, and as a result of the Brexit vote. The potential for a rate hike at the Federal Reserve, and the prospect of negative interest rates have also been turning interest to gold and other assets. Just imagine if these assets ever approached their true value With the longer-term prospect of a truly serious economic collapse in the United States, gold and silver will continue to make sense as a hedge against banana republic inflation, as well as a means to barter and trade with. Though that kind of crisis seems alien to our happy consumer society, the reality is all too present in Venezuela. Could it happen here? Hopefully youll have a humble stash of bullion in case we ever find out for ourselves.

1	The Norfolk Best Western was gripped by controversy late Saturday, when DJ Tim Doblewicz played the randy Clarence Carter hit 'Strokin'' at the Schuller-Randolph wedding reception, upsetting a number of the event's more reserved guests. Embattled DJ Tim Doblewicz. Inset: The Clarence Carter album <i>Dr. C.C.</i>, which contains 'Strokin'.' 'The energy on the dance floor was really high, and I wanted to keep it going with another fun one,' said Doblewicz, a part-time employee of Norfolk-based Funtime Dee-Jays Unlimited. 'I was considering doing 'Electric Slide' or maybe even 'Y.M.C.A.' one more time, but instead I decided to go with 'Strokin'.'' 'I honestly never expected it to cause any trouble,' Doblewicz said of the moderately salacious 1986 song, in which Carter boasts of stroking it to the east, stroking it to the west, and, ultimately, stroking it to the woman that he loves the best. Because an overwhelming majority of those on the dance floor responded to 'Strokin'' with cheers, Doblewicz said he 'had no idea' that the song had created a stir until several minutes later, when he was approached by the bride's father, Warren Randolph. Randolph asked Doblewicz to 'keep it clean from now on,' informing him that the song had bothered some of the guests. Particularly disturbed, Randolph said, was 81-year-old grandmother of the bride Loretta Munns, who demanded that Doblewicz be 'dismissed this very minute.' 'I could not believe that someone would play that type of song at an event celebrating the sacred union of two people before the eyes of God,' Munns said. 'A wedding reception is not the place to be stroking it to the east, west, south, or any direction whatsoever.' Munns was not the only attendee upset by 'Strokin'.' 'I don't ordinarily dance, but Warren dragged me out to do the Chicken Dance,' said Eileen Swearingen, 76, the bride's great aunt. 'Well, that was fine, but after that song ended, a very dirty one came on. I couldn't make out all the words, but at one point, the man sang, 'When I start makin' love, I don't just make loveI be strokin'.' I tried to get off the dance floor and back to my table, but I could barely fight my way through the crowd. It was awful.' Bride Denise Schuller and grandmother Loretta Munns, one of the many wedding guests whose lovely evening was nearly spoiled by the playing of 'Strokin'.' Badly shaken, Swearingen informed husband Warren and several others seated near her at table seven that she does not know if she will ever set foot on a dance floor again. Richard Almond, a longtime friend of the groom's family, was dancing with his five-year-old daughter through most of 'Strokin'.' It was only upon hearing the line, 'Have you ever made love in the back seat of a car?' that Almond realized Carter was saying 'strokin',' not 'smokin'.' A red-faced Almond immediately left the floor, daughter in tow. Immediately following the 'Strokin'' debacle, Doblewicz attempted to win back offended guests with Buster Poindexter's 'Hot, Hot, Hot.' He managed to generate a conga line with the wholesome, crowd-pleasing 1987 hit, but the damage had been done. 'How could [Doblewicz] have possibly thought that awful 'Strokin'' song was appropriate for a wedding?' asked Almond, mid-conga. 'He was deliberately pandering to the lowest common denominator at this party.' Despite the uproar, Doblewicz was not without his supporters. As 'Strokin'' played, several key members of the wedding party, including best man Chad Wilens and brother of the groom Jordan Schuller, began lowering themselves to the floor, limbo-style. Bridesmaid Tina Elson then lifted up the bottom of her teal taffeta gown and, with Schuller leaning back on his knees, straddled his torso and danced for several seconds directly over him. Few of the offended guests could have anticipated the provocative song from Doblewicz, who started out the evening with such popular romantic ballads as 'Because You Loved Me' by Celine Dion and 'Wonderful Tonight' by Eric Clapton. After the appetizer buffet was served, Doblewicz began to pick up the tempo with such participatory favorites as 'Macarena,' 'Chicken Dance,' and 'Electric Slide'a tactic wedding DJs call 'filling the floor.' Then, to keep guests dancing, Doblewicz transitioned into a string of uptempo, feel-good hits, including The B-52s' 'Love Shack,' Wild Cherry's 'Play That Funky Music,' and Kool & The Gang's 'Celebration.' It was during this stretch that Doblewicz made the fateful decision to play 'Strokin'.' 'The truth is, I thought the crowd could handle it,' said Doblewicz, who veered sharply from his planned playlist following the 'Strokin'' incident, shelving such potentially controversial fare as AC/DC's 'You Shook Me All Night Long' and Billy Idol's 'Mony Mony.' 'But they couldn't, so it was back to 'Boot Scootin' Boogie.' Oh, well.' 
2	Obama Introduces Law That Will Make It Illegal To Talk About Guns Online Following several acts of terror in the United States, President Obama has done everything he can to promote his gun control agenda. While liberals are applauding him, concerned Americans arent ready to be stripped of their second amendment rightsand particularly by a leader who doesnt seem to value their safety. According to recent reports, the state department has just proposed new firearms rules that would make it illegal for gun owners to discuss technical specifications about guns and ammo on the internetunless, of course, they obtain permission from the federal government. This means that in a world where Google is a go-to, if gun owners decided to publish blogs, video or any other Web forum, they will need to undergo the cumbersome and time-consuming process of obtaining the proper authorizations. Meanwhile, its safe to assume that gun owners or potential gun owners will have an increasingly more difficult time discovering the information they need. The new measure reportedly states that any individual who caught breaking these new guidelines could be fined up to $1 million and be thrown behind bars for up to 20 years. This latest regulatory assault, published in the June 3 issue of the Federal Register, is as much an affront to the First Amendment as it is to the second, the NRA warned. Of course, the administration is justifying their actions by claiming that the information that is currently published is accessible to foreign nationals both in the U.S. and overseas. But does that really Trump our constitutional rights? What do you think? Are you tired of the Obama administration trying to undermine the Constitution? 
2	Doctors Take THIS Recreational Drug To COMPLETELY Cure Depression, This Is Unbelievable... Depression is a disease that an increasing number of people in the world struggle with. It is a sickening disease, and while there are treatments for minor cases of it, more severe cases often progress to the point of suicide. Dennis Hartman, a business executive from Seattle, is one of the latter type. In a last attempt to treat his depression before he finally took his life, he went to National Institute of Mental Health. After trying 18 different antidepressants and mood stabilizers, Hartman was ready to try his final hope, as far fetched as it was. He sat in a hospital with an IV drip of ketamine, and within 40 minutes, completely lost the urge to end his life. My life will always be divided into the time before that first infusion and the time after, Hartman says today. That sense of suffering and pain draining away. I was bewildered by the absence of pain. Ketamine had previously been used as an anesthetic and tranquilizer, as well as recreationally. However, doctors are now saying that it is one of the best treatments for severe depression (and especially urge to commit suicide). Doctors have continued to run tests across a wide variety of patients, and things are looking good. For more information of the studies, check out the article on The Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/a-one-time-party-drug-is-helping-people-with-deep-depression/2016/02/01/d3e73862-b490-11e5-a76a-0b5145e8679a_story.html Were you surprised to hear that ketamine has this effect? 
2	BREAKING: Obama Caught Arming The ISIS According to new reports, some Americans are now claiming that Obama himself is responsible for the rise of ISIS, as well as the technologically advanced weaponry they are now touting. Obamas involvement with the group extends beyond the Benghazi attack, and back to Libya in 2012. According to a new military intelligence report released by the West Point counterterrorism center, the increase in weaponry can track back to Libya, when Obama unilaterally decided to wage war on Qaddafi. At the time, Obama gave arms to Libyan rebels, who were linked to Al-Qaeda. Ultimately, Libyan militants were able to assassinate Qaddafi and overthrow his regime. Still, Libya has been left to recover as a terrorist state, and the United States has been unable to recover the weapons we once provided. This was still taking place in Benghazi, under the direction of the CIA. Some even suspect this is the reason for the attack. While that connection is in the question, a new shocking discovery is not. According to the report, the moderate Syrian rebels have started to build an increasing partnership with Al Nusra Front, linked closely to Al Qaeda. The weapons are now believed to have fallen into the hands of ISIS. They are joined by the weapons Obama provided to the Iraqi Army, which were abandoned as they fled their posts to avoid ISIS advances. What do you think? Does Obama need to be punished for his actions once and for all? 
3	How Much Have American Taxpayers Really Paid for Police Brutality?By Amanda Warren But, until now, we have been blissfully unaware of how much police brutalization or bad policing has truly cost the taxpayer. Indeed, when brutalization occurs and the city must defend itself in a case or pay out a settlement who is really paying? Lets just say if Bill Gates had to handle the whole tab right now hed not only wince but he would be in dire financial straits. Maybe not by our standards, but by his hed fear losing his billionaire status. Its that financially detrimental to our collective wallets. Truthvoice reports: Bad policing has cost American taxpayers more than $1 billion, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. WSJ reporters Zusha Elinson and Dan Frosch conducted an in-depth study of public records and found the cost of settling police misconduct cases has almost doubled over a five-year period. [] Of all the the cities tracked by the WSJ, New York had the costliest police department, racking up $601.3 million in legal costs over five years. Payments for settlements and judgments jumped from $93.8 in fiscal year 2013 to $165 million in 2014, reported the WSJ. The city recently paid the family of Eric Garner, who was choked to death during an altercation with Staten Island police, a $5.9 million settlement. Cities have insurance too and the more claims that are filed, so to speak, the higher the premiums. Rarely, rarely does an officer pay for his or her own damages the city (ultimately you) picks up the tab. Truthvoice also recounts some costly cases of wrongful imprisonment. As you can see, thats only part of a statistic, so $1 billion is only a low, starter estimate. How do you feel about paying for that kind of damage and destruction damage and destruction that could have happened to you? Furthermore, there is no amount of money that can make up for the loss of a loved one. Unfortunately, its just not a rare event anymore. Again, I can only ask isnt it strange to have a system whereby we pay for the privilege of law enforcement who enforce for state revenue which can include civil asset forfeiture and prisoners-for-profit, with no accountability for loss of life or destruction of property just to start the whole cycle over again? What do we pay for again? Aside from making real local demands, maybe it is time to start building those citizen and neighborhood response networks? Recently fromAmanda Warren: The answer to this problem is mandatory individual professional liability insurance policies for every person involved in law enforcement. Individuals do misdeeds, not cities, counties or states. Individuals should be held accountable. If all employees required to carry their own insurance were given a one-time salary increase of the same amount, equally divided among the number of employees, that their hiring agency (city, county, or state) saved by shifting the liability burden, the change would be revenue-neutral. Subsequently, as insurance carriers were free to raise or lower premiums for bad or good cops, good cops would actually see their effective incomes rise and bad cops would see their premiums rise, effectively reducing their income. When the bad cop couldnt afford the premiums anymore, he or she would voluntarily quit. Within just a few years of the shift of liability from employer to individual, all police forces would be purged of their cowboys and psychopaths, and some measure of security from police assualt in the US would be restored. They already are insured and bonded as so-called public servants. Go after them personally! One of my aircraft mechanic instructors told the class a story about having just done an annual inspection on a plane and found everything okay. A few days later it crashed, killing the two men on board, and the family, as families do, looked about for someone to sue. My instructor was a prime target. He happened to be sitting in his attorneys office when the familys attorney called. One of the questions the familys attorney asked was Does your client have professional liability insurance? The answer was No. When the attorney got off the phone, he said simply Thats the last youll hear about this. And he was right. The moral of the story is that attorneys will only take cases on a contingency fee basis if the defendant has a big enough pool of money to be worth it to him. Unless a cop has personal professional liability insurance (and they dont) few lawyers will go after the cop, except as named among a list of defendants along with the government employer, who has access to the taxpayers pockets. Most cops, if they have any assets at all, only own their own home and that cannot be taken in a suit. Therein lies the problem: with no assets and no insurance, it will always be the taxpayers who take the hit. Under my plan, the taxpayers are still paying for insurance indirectly as part of the cops salary, but, and this is the key, it leaves it up to the insurance companies to decide what is acceptable performance by a cop and what the premium will be. It takes the power to effectively fire bad-risk cops out of the hands of police chiefs (who almost always defend their brethren) and puts it in the hands of a strictly bottom-line oriented independent party, the insurance company. A really good plan for a voluntary society ! .Its that financially detrimental to our collective wallets. Isnt the Great Plan working absolutely perfect !?! Again, as long as the majority of white Amurderkkkans allow this, and want this to happen, it will continue. And when their cities go bankrupt, and there isnt enough money for essential services, then and only then will they CHOOSE to make it stop. We lay ALL the blame at the feet at white Amurderkkans. Enjoy watching the injustices brutality whilst is last, because in a fascist police state, its always the poor middle-class white plebs whove got next Chant down Babylon ism schism! Go after the Police-Pukes personally! Make a claim and put a lien on their bonds! Voter blocs should be organized that can agree on a half dozen items including curbing police bad behavior. To that I suggest people opposed to mandatory vaccinations and Rx medications in general, opposition to psychiatry (which has no business even existing) opponents of civil asset forfeiture and opponents of GMO crops. The bloc would target all state legislators who have done ANYTHING to please ANY police union or police fraternal organization. Not police brutality, but police criminality; for police murders. Excuse mongering has become as institutional as civil forfeiture. With decades of baggage, generations of disobedience, and pseudo-science entanglements to address and make amends for, the future should mirror the efforts to find forgiveness similar to apartheid and its leftovers. America should not be enslaved by ignorance and indifference to cannabis therapies, profiteering from healthcare inducements, and deaths from overuse and misuse of petro-chemical based medications making money over safety. 
1	According to sources at McNamara Advertising Inc., junior account executive Matthew Burns, 28, will attempt to catch or deflect any airborne item that enters his general vicinity and has an intended destination or recipient other than himself. 'It doesn't matter what it is. I even saw him grab a used tissue out of the air before he realized what he had done,' said office manager Karen Dunham, referring to Burns' habit of either batting away, snatching, or 'alley-oop' slam-dunking pieces of garbage that have been tossed toward trash receptacles. 'And he yells 'my house!' really loudly every time he does it. It's kind of getting out of hand.' Burns was not available for comment, as he is recovering from an injury sustained after attempting to intercept an in-flight dart at a local bar. 
2	What Michelle Obama Was Caught Doing Last Night Will Make You Sick The First Lady recently appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. While many Americans are suffering at the hands of her husband, Michelle Obama seemed more concern with fashion and her life after the White House. Michelle appeared on national television in a plunging top. She discussed the many things she hopes to do once her husband is out of the White House. Dont get us wrongwere excited too, but for a very different reason than the First Lady. Michelle is excited to open a window and go to Target. Once again, the Obamas are showing high aspirations for the future. She is also demonstrating a complete lack of awareness of what is going on in the country. Youd think shed have more important things to discuss than future shopping sprees. 
1	Despite the football season having ended nearly five months ago, and the absence of Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward from the Pirates' 40-man roster, local resident Heath Janoski, 28, wore Ward's No. 86 Steelers jersey to Wednesday night's Pittsburgh PiratesSt. Louis Cardinals baseball game. 'I don't really own any Pirates stuff,' said Janoski, who also brought a Terrible Towel and a 'Cleveland Sucks' billboard to the nine-inning contest. 'I think I had a Pirate Parrot doll when I was younger, but I'm pretty sure I ripped its head off when they didn't make the World Series in 1992.' With the Pirates up to bat in the bottom of the third inning, Janoski started a 'Here we go Steelers' chant which was immediately taken up by the 13,000 fans in attendance and repeated sporadically throughout the rest of the game. 
3	US military says kamikaze drone has proven to be a very effective tool in AfghanistanMadison Ruppert I first mentioned the Switchblade in late 2011, though the militarys procurement of the drones was reported in October of 2011. It has come up a few times since then when dealing with tiny laser-guided bombs for small drones and an article on the future of drone technology from June of last year. The Switchblade, developed by AeroVironment, is billed as a drone capable of providing soldiers with a back-packable, non-line-of-sight precision strike solution with minimal collateral effects. Put more simply, it is a quite small drone that can be either piloted remotely or completely autonomously, can glide or use a quiet electric motor and gather real-time video and GPS data for information gathering, targeting, or feature/object recognition. The vehicles small size and quiet motor make it difficult to detect, recognize, and track even at very close range, according to AeroVironment, though the most noteworthy feature is its ability to use the data gathered to crash itself into a target. Its tiny warhead detonates on impact, wrote Time when it was included in their Best Inventions of the Year 2012 list. In effect, it makes fighters in the field their own air support. It has now been confirmed that the Switchblade is indeed in use by US troops in Afghanistan. The military refused to get into anything specific and would not say anything about deployment, effectiveness, distribution or tactical employment of the Switchblade drone. While Garrett said it has been very effective, he would not say anything about how many times it has been used, how accurate it is or even the breakdown between its surveillance missions and its lethal ones, according to Danger Room. Danger Room has filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the US Central Command in an attempt to obtain more information about the Switchblade, but the military presence there is becoming increasingly secretive. Most recently, the International Security Assistance Force, the US-NATO military command in Afghanistan, stopped publishing all information on Taliban attacks in the country. Despite the lack of public information on the Switchblade, Defense News reported last month that commanders in Afghanistan asked for more than the budget could handle. Theater came in and said, We need dramatically more than the 75 initially supplied in late 2012, Col. Pete Newell, the Rapid Equipping Forces (REF) director, said. So now it really is an Army discussion because it exceeded my budget. Newell also went out of his way to state that the Switchblade is actually a direct fire munition and not a drone. If a mission has to be canceled because the target has fled into a house that might contain non-combatants, the operator can safely dump the explosives it is carrying elsewhere before landing, wrote Paul McLeary. AeroVironment, on the other hand, calls it a loitering munition for use against beyond-line-of sight (BLOS) targets capable of wave-off/recommit capability, though its really just a game of semantics. Whatever you call it, the Switchblade is clearly something the US military likes and will continue to use, despite the fact that we have essentially no clue how theyre actually using it.

1	A field study released Monday by the University of North Carolina School of Public Health suggests that Iraqi citizens experience sadness and a sense of loss when relatives, spouses, and even friends perish, emotions that have until recently been identified almost exclusively with Westerners. An Iraqi study group reacts to a car bombing. Researchers (not pictured) gathered data from a fortified observation booth. 'We were struck by how an Iraqi reacts to the sight of the bloody or decapitated corpse of a family member in a not unlike an American, or at the very least a Canadian, would,' said Dr. Jonathan Pryztal, chief author of the study. 'In addition to the rage, bloodlust, and hatred we already know to dominate the Iraqi emotional spectrum, it appears that they may have some capacity, however limited, for sadness.' Though Pryztal was quick to add that more detailed analysis is needed, he said the findings cast some doubt on long-held assumptions about human nature in that region. 'Contrary to conventional wisdom, it seems that Iraqis do indeed experience at least minor feelings of grief when a best friend or a grandparent is ripped apart by a car bomb or shot execution style and later unearthed in a shallow mass grave,' Prytzal said. 'Last December's suicide-bomb killing of 71 Shiites in Baghdad, for example, produced unexpected reactions ranging from crumpled, sobbing despair to silent, dazed shock.' Iraqis have often been observed weeping and wailing in apparent anguish, but the study offers evidence indicating this may not be exclusively an outward expression of anger or a desire for revenge. It also provocatively suggests that this grief can possess an American-like personal quality, and is not simply a tribal lamentation ritual. An Iraqi mother expressing American-like grief at the loss of her son. Said Pryztal: 'When trying to understand the psychology of the Iraqi citizenry after four years of war, think of a small American town roiled by the death of a well-known high school football player.' According to Pryztal, the intensity of the grief does not diminish if the mourner experiences multiple bereavements over time. 'If a woman has already lost one child, the subsequent killings of other children will evoke similar responses,' he said. 'In the majority of cases we studied, it appeared as though those who lost multiple kids never actually got used to it.' Though Pryztal expects the results of the study may be of some interest to students of Arab psychology, he did concede that the data may not be entirely accurate because it was gathered directly from Iraqis themselves. 'Almost all the Iraqis we interviewed said the war had ruined their lives because of the incalculable loss of friends and family,' Pryztal said. 'But to be totally honest, these types of studies can be skewed rather easily by participant exaggeration.' Psychologists and anthropologists have thus far largely discounted the study, claiming it has the same bias as a 1971 Stanford University study that concluded that many Vietnamese showed signs of psychological trauma from nearly a quarter century of continuous war in southeast Asia. 'We are, in truth, still a long way from determining if Iraqis are exhibiting actual, U.S.-grade sadness,' Mayo Clinic neuropsychologist Norman Blum said. 'At present, we see no reason for the popular press to report on Iraqi emotions as if they are real.' Pryztal said that his research group would next examine whether children in Sudan prefer playing with toys or serving as guerrilla fighters and killing innocent civilians. 
3	Look Out Flu Shot Resistors: You Might Be Labeled a FLUgitiveThe FLUgitive Propaganda Campaign Aims to Shame You Into Getting Jabbed This is from the Believe-It-or-Not-This-Isnt-Satire files. If you dont get lined up for this years lethal injection ahem I mean flu shot you just might get a push from a well-meaning (but brainwashed) friend or neighbor. A national campaign has begun with the intention to shame and peer pressure everyone to get the flu shot. The campaign was created bySanofi-Pasteur, the company who makesyou guessed ita flu vaccine called Fluzone, approved by our good friends at the FDA in 2011. (They also collaborate with the notable eugenicists of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.) You can find out more about the FLUgitive campaign on Facebook. #FLUgitives live in every town in America; they could be hiding in your workplace, your gym, the grocery store, or even in your own home. Each year in the U.S., 1 in 5 people, or up to 20 percent of the population, gets the flu and an estimated 226,000 people are hospitalized from influenza-related complications. But since the single most important thing adults can do to help prevent spreading the flu is to get their annual flu vaccination, these #FLUgitives should not wait. #FLUgitives are encouraged to come out of hiding, round up other #FLUgitives and turn themselves in to their healthcare provider to learn about the seriousness of influenza and their available vaccine options. Because flu season can begin as early as October and last through May, the best prevention for those planning to get their annual flu shot is to get it as early as possible in the season, allowing your body time to build up its immunity, said Carlos E. Picone, M.D., F.C.C.P., Vice-Chair of the Department of Internal Medicine at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C. Research has shown that social influences are a primary factor in the adoption of health behaviors. The FLUgitives campaign leverages the positive power of social peer influence to drive more people to help protect themselves against the flu by getting vaccinated and features four #FLUgitives whom everyone might know or may even relate to themselves. (source) The Fitness Fanatic Convinced that exercise and all-protein diet is the key to staying healthy, this gym rat dreads getting the flu vaccine because nothing can get in the way of his workout. Putting his beloved biceps on the back burner is not an option. With big protection and a tiny needle, the Fluzone Intradermal vaccine only goes skin deep so no one has to mess with lightening and thunder unless they really have to. The Turbo Mom A modern day Superwoman, this suburban warrior balances caring for her kids, husband, home and pets on top of a busy job. But her hectic schedule leaves little time for anything else. Fluzone Intradermal vaccine is right on top of that its a simple and quick way to get the protection she needs without missing a beat. The Latest and Greatest Guy A self-proclaimed gadget loving playboy, this FLUgitive always wants the newest version of everything. He should ask about Fluzone Intradermal vaccine its a smart, fast and efficient technology, just like his gadgets. The Scaredy Cat This constant worrier is on edge about pretty much everything. But since his fear of getting sick outweighs his fear of getting a flu shot, Fluzone Intradermal vaccine is right up his alley. It uses a next-generation device to quickly help deliver vaccine just under the skins surface, so he can find something else to worry about for a change. Theres even a dubious little app that allows you to load your photo and see how bad you will look if you dont get your flu shot. No, Im not kidding. Notably, one type of FLUgitive is not represented in the videos those of us who avoid the shot because we know better.

1	Following reports of singer Chris Brown's recent involvement in a vicious brawl over a parking space, Americans admitted Monday they would not be all that surprised at this point if news leaked that the short-fused R&B performer had somehow travelled back in time and punched Holocaust victim Anne Frank in the face. Given all that we know about what kind of person Chris Brown is, I honestly wouldn't bat an eye if I learned he had somehow contorted the fabric of space and time in order to appear in Holland circa 1944, burst into Anne Franks hiding place, knocked her diary out of her hands, and assaulted her for no reason, receptionist Theresa Galloway told reporters, echoing the thoughts of millions of Americans who believe that such a far-fetched scenario would actually make perfect sense in the context of the hotheaded pop star's past behavior. I dont care if it is physically impossible, it would still not really faze me too much if I saw that headline on TMZ or wherever. Nor would it shock me if he disclosed the Frank familys location to the SS before making it back to the present to perform at the Grammy Awards. Yeah, that sounds about right. When pressed for further comment, sources nationwide noted that the only implausible development they could think of would be if sales of Chris Brown albums were to be adversely affected in any way by such an incident. 
3	Islamic Cleric Kidnapped by CIA, Defends Convicted Agents Calls them Scapegoats for the US EliteBy Jay Syrmopoulos In a phone interview with The Guardian, Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr, know as Abu Omar, said that he believed former CIA officer Sabrina De Sousa, 60, due to be extradited to Italy to serve a four-year prison sentence, was simply a scapegoat for the political elite in the U.S. Sabrina and the others who were convicted are scapegoats. The US administration sacrificed them. All of those higher up in the hierarchy are enjoying their immunity, he said. These people higher up, without doubt they should be convicted in this case. They should face trial. Under the Bush-era program, the CIA conspired with at least 54 foreign governments to build a highly classified extraordinary rendition and detention program that spanned the globe. Extraordinary rendition is the transferwithout legal processof a detainee to the custody of a foreign government for purposes of detention and interrogation. The failed program stripped people of their most basic human rights, facilitated gruesome forms of torture, captured many of the wrong people, and damaged the United States reputation even further. Black sites secret prisons run by the CIA on foreign soil were a staple of the program. Suspects would simply vanish into these sites leaving no trace, no legal process and no conviction for any criminal or terrorist activity. According to a report in The Guardian: The case was investigated by an independent prosecutor in Italy, leading to the conviction in 2009 of 22 CIA operatives and other US officials for orchestrating the kidnapping. The US officials, including De Sousa, who was publicly a state department official in Milan but actually an undercover CIA officer, were convicted in absentia as they had left Italy before the trial began. Some officials, including Italians, were later pardoned. In 2005, the kidnapping of Abu Omar became public knowledge, exposing in great detail the top-secret counterterrorism program that snatched at least 136 individuals off the street and transferred them to participating countries without legal process that would then often use torture methods under the auspices of enhanced interrogation techniques in an effort to elicit intelligence. De Sousa was never extended diplomatic immunity by the U.S. government, and after traveling to Portugal to visit family last year, she was detained on a European arrest warrant at the Lisbon airport when she attempted to travel to India to visit her 90-year-old mother. In an interview with Loud Clear, former CIA analyst John Kiriakou, the first American official to expose the use of torture as official U.S. policy, and who was ultimately persecuted and prosecuted by the U.S. government for that act of patriotism, detailed the De Sousa case. Unfortunately, Abu Omar was the wrong guy, which happened a lot in CIA operations in the last decade, said Kiriakou. There were a lot of kidnappings of innocent people who happened to be the wrong person, people who may have, like Abu Omar, made fiery sermons after Friday prayers, but had nothing to do with terrorism. The Italian government investigated the case and identified two dozen CIA officers who made a major mistake, explained the former CIA analyst. They traveled to Italy in alias but then used their hotel phones to call their spouses back in the US. The Italians were able to track the calls and identify everyone involved in the operations. Miss De Sousa appears to be the fall guy in this entire episode, remarked Kiriakou. The CIA, for whatever reason, elected to not invoke diplomatic immunity for the agents. Some were convicted but successfully appealed to the Italian government for a pardon, but for some reason De Sousa did not get immunity or a pardon. De Sousa maintains that she played an extremely minor role in the very early stages of the operation, prior to Abu Omar even being named as a potential target, serving as an interpreter for a discussion between Italian and U.S. intelligence. But at that point, rendition was just a concept, she told The Washington Post, stressing that Abu Omar was never even discussed. As for the man kidnapped by the CIA, he says he has never seen De Sousa and that he doesnt know whether she played a role in his kidnapping. Now shes 60 years old. If media reports are right, she and the people who kidnapped me were the reason why I left my job in Italy, and a lot of trouble to me and my family happened because of that. They are the reason behind my physical disabilities now. The Italian prosecution actually accused her of this. Shes threatened to be sentenced between four and six years, and I dont wish that for her. Ive been in prison before, and I dont wish for the same to happen to her, either as a friend or a foe. Especially because shes a woman. Abu Omar noted that De Sousa was traveling to visit her 90-year-old mother in Indiaand that he had not been allowed to pay final respects to his mother after her passing due to his kidnapping and the Egypt interior ministers refusal to release him. [He] refused for me to attend my own mothers funeral, and Sabrina could be subjected to the same problem, he said. As a Muslim, I should wish for her to be pardoned. Speaking to the corrupt nature of the regime which De Sousa once served, an anonymous U.S. official told The Guardian that that De Sousa had made a decision to break ties with the government when she moved to sue the U.S. for not invoking diplomatic immunity to help her. Ironically, the move to sue was done solely out of necessity after being left out to dry by the U.S. government and having virtually no other recourse after the Italian Supreme Court upheld her conviction in 2012. According to a report in The Washington Post: Though she lost her lawsuit against the government for not granting her immunity, she sued the CIA and the Defense and State departments in November 2014. In the suit, she argues that the agencies violated the Freedom of Information Act after they refused to confirm or deny the existence of documents she had requested showing that the rendition was approved by the CIA and senior government officials. As part of her FOIA request, De Sousa has sought documents showing why her name was not on a U.S. government list put forward in 2014 to the Italians asking for a pardon. (Some of the Americans convicted by the Italians did receive full pardons.) Also, she is seeking a National Clandestine Service investigation into the rendition. When I asked for the CIA review, I was told I couldnt see it because I wasnt involved in the rendition, and therefore, I was not investigated, she said. Laura Pitter, a senior national security counsel at Human Rights Watch, while not wanting to comment on specifics in the case, noted that De Sousa shouldnt the be first and only person held responsible for the CIA program. It should be the senior officials and contractors involved in authorizing and implementing the program and those who actually inflicted the torture on individuals in U.S. custody, Pitter said. Abu Omar believes that De Sousas is a humanitarian case, due to the fact that she exposed injustices and revealed the injustices through the media. De Sousa has been a vocal critic of the U.S. government, and in 2013 made allegations that the threat posed by Abu Omar was greatly overblown by the former CIA station chief Jefferey Castelli in order to get approval for the abduction from then-CIA director George Tenet. When the man De Sousa is accused of helping kidnap says that she is simply a scapegoat being sacrificed by the political elite in the U.S., and states that he hopes for her to be pardoned, perhaps Americans should listen. Jay Syrmopoulos writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Well, duh. Does anyone else find it ironic that this Islamic extremist preacher who was deemed such a threat to us that our govt kidnapped him and tortured him, has higher morals than the people who are supposed to be on our side? Her only regret is that she didnt get pardoned, not that she participated in this horrendous behavior. 
2	What This FATHER OF SON MURDERED BY AN ILLEGAL TOLD DONALD TRUMP Needs To Go Viral When presidential hopeful Donald Trump was at FreedomFest in Las Vegas this past Saturday, he took the opportunity to discuss the controversial issues he originally brought up in his campaign announcement. During his discussions, he asked Jamiel Shaw, the black father of a high school student who was murdered by an illegal immigrant to come on the stage and share his story with the audience. According to Shaw, his son left home for football and didnt return home for hours. When Shaw called him to check on him, his son told him he was just around the corner. Moments later, he was shot and killed by Pedro Espinoza, an illegal immigrant who had just been released from prison. Shaw heard the shots fired over the receiver. When authorities examined his sons body, they determined that he must have been lying down and covering his face with his hand when he was shot. Espinoza had come to the United States from Mexico illegally when he was four. The system had failed to deport him even though he had been in trouble with the law more than three times. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do we need to fix this broken system NOW? 
1	Hoping to make a little extra money, former Minnesota Twins pitcher Scott Erickson placed his 1994 no-hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers up for sale on eBay Sunday. 'It's 17 years old, but I guarantee this game is still 100% hitless,' read the listing, which after four days online has received one bid of $4.75. 'You get all five strikeouts, four walks, even the six runs my teammates put up in support. Trust me, this is truly a fine game to own.' Erickson has set the no-hitters Buy It Now price at $2,500. 
1	Four days after the murder of liquor-store clerk Bernard Golub, police announced Tuesday that they are seeking a poorly drawn man in his 40s. 'All units have been advised to be on the lookout for a 5-foot-9 Caucasian with dark hair and a lopsided face that looks all wrong in the jaw area,' police chief Jerry Oliver said. Oliver added that the suspect has a scar across his forehead, or possibly just a mistake that wasn't fully erased. 
1	Saying it was simply time for drivers to move on, Toyota Motor Corp. issued a recall of its entire 1993 Camry model line Wednesday due to the fact that its owners really should have bought something new by now. We understand that the 1993 Camry was tremendously dependable, but, honestly, theres just no excuse for driving a 22-year-old car at this point, said Toyota spokesman Haruki Kinoshita, adding that, with all the advances in automotive technology that have taken place, no one really had any business driving a vehicle for more than two decades. Were not saying you have to buy a new 2015 Camry or splurge on a flashy new hybrid, or even that your new car has to be a Toyota at all. But the bottom line is that you need to start fresh, however you choose to do so. While Toyota is reportedly confining its recall to the 1993 Camry, it also issued a warning to owners of 1994 to 1998 models alerting them to the fact that they were really starting to push it. 
2	Islamberg, USA: A Muslim Only Town In New York According to reports, Islamberg is a 70-acre Islamic compound in upstate New York, that is currently hosting a Muslim-only community. Reports indicate that the majority of residents are former inmates, who converted to radical Islam while serving time in prison. Islamberg is just one of 35 Muslim compounds in America today, but is by far the most famous. All of the compounds are associated with Muslims of American ((MOA), and organization that recruits followers at mosques and prisons. Evidence points to the fact that many of these convicted criminals are now supporting the religious movement. Islamberg has a mosque called International Quranic Open University, where events are frequently held to help counter the negative image on Islam. Still, some claim that the compound recruits its residents for more than prayerand instead for firearm training and guerilla warfare. What do you think of the compound? 
2	Air Force Directly Refuses Obamas Orders, Makes THIS Stand Against Him According to recent reports, a new study from the Air Force has just confirmed that guns are the best defense in mass shooting situations. One would think that was common sense, but then theres President Barack Obama. Reports indicate that the Air Force has sent out a letter to all commanders asking them to authorize airmen to carry guns even when they are off duty or out of uniform. They also stipulated three programs to make sure that armed service members are strategically situated to take action in case of a massacre on their bases. The case study was conduct into active shooter casesthat confirmed what gun rights advocates have been saying since there have been gun rights to debateguns in the hands of the good guys is the best prospect of stopping mass shootings, Conservative Tribune reports. None of these programs gives the installation commander authorizations they didnt already have the authorization to do, Maj. Keith Quick of the Air Force Security Forces Integrated Defense told military.com. We are now formalizing it and telling them how they can use these types of programs more effectively. The action is in response to the shooting in Chattanooga, Tennessee which left five dead. What do you think? Do you support this announcement from the Air Force? 
2	Heres The Controversial Sign The Army Was Forced To Take Down Because It Was Offensive Recently, the Army Times reported that the U.S. Army recruiting office in Phoenix has just taken down a sign reading On a mission for both God and country after the message sparked controversy. According to reports, the public outcry likely originated with a post on the Daily Kos by Mikey Weinstein, president and founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. Weinstein claimed the sign was an in-your-face, proselytizing, U.S. Army officially approved recruiting poster. Get this U.S. Army and get it well, Weinstein wrote, The United States armed forces may surely fight and kill for Country and our legitimate national security interests. But our troops do NOT fight and kill for ANYONEs God or related supernatural deity. According to a spokesman, the sign up went up without consent from the recruiting officer command staff, and that they would not have approved the message had they been shown it previously. What do you think? Was this sign offensive? 
1	Once again attracting widespread attention in the media for her looks, U.S. Olympic bobsled team member and track star Lolo Jones has become the first American to be objectified in both the Winter and Summer Olympics. To be selected as the target of either praise or condemnation for reasons based solely on my physical appearance in two different games is truly an honor, said Jones, adding that the achievement would not have been possible without the national medias longstanding practice of placing a disproportionate emphasis on the beauty of female athletes as well as the forces of marketing and advertising that encourage that mentality. At first it was hard learning how to submit myself to stereotypical representations of women in two completely different sports, until I started seeing the similarities between the two. At the end of the day Im still being asked to pose in skintight suits for photoshoots and visit talk shows under the false pretense of discussing my athletic accomplishments. Though the 31-year-old athlete confirmed she is still experiencing pre-race jitters, Jones believes that she has what it takes to compete for another endorsement exploiting her sex appeal. 
2	Supreme Court Makes Ruling On Shariah Law In America And It Isnt Good Recently, the Supreme Court made a ruling that could have a serious impact on Shariah law in America. In the case of Holt vs. Hobbs, the Supreme Court made a 9-0 decision that ruled that prison officials cannot arbitrarily ban peaceful religious practices. The defendant in the case is Abdul Muhammad, a prison inmate in Arkansas who was told that he could not grow a half-inch beard for religious purposes. According to reports, the court ruled that the unquestionable deference to the prison rules went against the law. Both liberals and conservatives had mixed feelings about the rulings. Some believed that the ruling would bring Shariah law closer to America. Other felt that ruling against Muhammad would violate his own religious liberties. The court repeated a fundamental American principle today: government doesnt get to ride roughshod over religious practices, said Eric Rassbach, attorney for Muhammad. Where government can accommodate religion, it ought to. Whats more, the courts unanimous decision today, and the broad-based support among such diverse groups in this case, shows that religious liberty remains one of the central ideals of America that unifies us as a nation. What do you think? Do you believe that this puts us a step closer to Shariah law, or a step in the right direction for religious freedom? 
1	Friends and family are remembering Gilbert Wilkinson as a 'total spaz' following his fatal spaz attack Tuesday at the Golden Palace Dance & Supper Club in Cape Girardeau. 'We were dancing and laughing and just having a very nice time when, out of nowhere, he completely spazzed out,' wife Louise Wilkinson said. 'His arms were flailing wildly, and he was bouncing all over the place like a complete spaz. Gilbert had had spaz attacks before, but as soon as he started spazzing, I could tell this was the Big One.' Funeral arrangements will be announced as soon as members of Wilkinson's family, also complete spazzes, stop spazzing out over his death.

Im really looking forward to spending time with all the girls in my bunkitll be really fun to stay up and talk every night after lights out, Rowley said of the girls who will constantly make fun of her weight, call her Brace-Face Trace at every opportunity, and cause her to cry several times a week. Were going to be like sisters! Reached for comment, Rowlands parents told reporters that their daughter, whom they will be forced to pick up and bring home halfway through the camp session, will have a really fun and memorable summer at North Winds. 
2	Hillary Desperate To Wipe This Video From The Internet, See It Before Its Deleted The Clinton campaign cant be happy about this video, which is quickly going vial. When the public can build a video with 13 straight minutes of someone lyingit doesnt exactly scream elect me. Were hoping this footage will finally reach the Clinton supporters who seem to be denial about her records. This is someone who is currently being investigated by the FBI. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Does Clinton need to be kept far away from the White House? 
3	Derivative Meltdown and Dollar CollapseJames Hall, Contributor The elegance of derivatives is that the rules that defy nature are not involved in intangible swaps. The basic value in the payment from the risk is always dumped on the back of the taxpayer. Ponzi schemes are legal when government croupiers spin loaded balls on their fudged roulette tables. Under conventional international trading settlement, the world reserve currency is the Dollar. The loss of confidence in the Federal Reserve System causes a corresponding decline in value in U. S Treasury obligations. Add into this risk equation, derivative instruments that are deadly threats that can well destroy national currencies. One such response to this unchecked danger can be found in a Bloomberg Businessweek perceptive article, A Shortage of Bonds to Back Derivatives Bets, makes a stark forecast. Starting next year, new rules will force banks, hedge funds, and other traders to back up more of their bets in the $648 trillion derivatives market by posting collateral. While the rules are designed to prevent another financial meltdown, a shortage of Treasury bonds and other top-rated debt to use as collateral may undermine the effort to make the system safer. However, what happens when buyers of Treasury notes abandon the reoccurring cycle of rollover debt and stop buying new T-Bonds? Take the Chinese example as a template for things to come. Chinas yuan hits record high amid US pressure, The Yuan touched an intraday high of nearly 6.2640 to $1.0, according to the China Foreign Exchange Trade System, marking the highest level since 1994 when the country launched its modern foreign exchange market. China And Japan Move Away From Dollar, Will Conduct Bilateral Trade Using Own Currencies, is one method to avoid the direct consequences of a derivative meltdown. The China Foreign Exchange Trade System, the division of the Peoples Bank of China which manages currency trading, said that the country will set a daily trading rate based on a weighted average of prices given by market makers. The Peoples Bank said on Tuesday that an initial trading rate would be set at 7.9480 Yuan for every 100 Yen at market in Shanghai. Unlike yuan-dollar trading, which only allows for a daily fluctuation of 1 percent in Yuan trading value, Yuan trading with the Yen will be able to move within a 3 percent range. Timing of a Dollar reputation is almost impossible to pinpoint with precise market foreknowledge. Yet the inevitability that The Dollar is Doomed, refers to the insight of Hans F. Sennholz in his essay Saving the Dollar from Destruction we are presented with a bleak financial future. Even under optimal conditions, the alternatives are not pleasant. Now lets ask the 64,000 dollar question. What will happen when interest rates start to rise? The economic havoc, with the rise in interest rates, will greatly disrupt existing worldwide trade agreements and practices. In the article How The U.S. Dollar Will Be Replaced, Brandon Smith addresses the pragmatic measures undertaken by major trade partners to protect their domestic economies from a Dollar freefall. To those people who consistently claim that the dollar will never be dropped, my response is, it already has been dropped! China, in tandem with other BRIC nations, has been covertly removing the greenback as the primary trade unit through bilateral deals since 2010. First with Russia, and now with the whole of the ASEAN trading bloc and numerous other markets, including Japan. China in particular has been preparing for this eventuality since 2005, when they introduced the first Yuan denominated bonds. The bonds were considered a strange novelty back then, especially because China had so much surplus savings that it seemed outlandish for them to take on treasury debt. Today, the move makes a whole lot more sense. China and the BRIC nations today openly call for a worldwide shift away from the dollar: After historic downgrade, U.S. must address its chronic debt problems. Dagong Global, a fledgling Chinese rating agency, degraded the U.S. treasury bonds late last year, yet its move was met then with a sense of arrogance and cynicism from some Western commentators. Now SP has proved what its Chinese counterpart has done is nothing but telling the global investors the ugly truth. The derivatives timebomb lingers over every financial market on the planet. Reforms cannot remove excess and greed, from risk management fiscal contracts. When the largest foreign trading partners look to insulate their transactions from an unstable Dollar currency, the panic has already begun. It should be self-evident that additional U.S. Treasury bailouts with unlimited Federal Reserve claims against every asset of collateral that can be attached, is obscene in its nature. Hedging is equivalent to reassigning betting risk to unfunded insurance underwriters that would never be able to pay off the claim. Governments are broke by almost any financial standard. Central banksters accumulate titles to real property and assets by hook or crook. Original article archived here James Hall is a reformed, former political operative.

3	Obama Announces $1 Billion to 13 States to Build Climate Resilient Communities and Gets Told Off on TwitterBy Melissa Dykes Twentytrillion.Thatll mean Americas national debt nearlydoubled under his presidency. So you can probably imagine the majority of peoples surprise and dismay when the White House announced a new billion dollars going to help build more climate resilient communities. The White House (@WhiteHouse) January 21, 2016 The announcement came in regard to a HUD program which will award the billion dollars through a National Disaster Resilience Competition. Winners of this money include California, Connecticut, Iowa, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, and Virginia, plus New York City (separately), New Orleans, Minot North Dakota, Shelby County Tennessee (separately), and Springfield Massachusetts. Funny how the authorities always start with attempting to reassure the public that climate change is real when writing these big checks Climate change is real and we must think more seriously about how to plan for it, said HUD Secretary Julin CastroThe National Disaster Resilience Competition exemplifies how government can work hand-in-hand with the philanthropic and private sectors to create lasting partnerships that will allow us to together face the challenges of tomorrow.

It seems as if Obama is a squanderer yet the facts are much more nuanced. It was Bush who increased the debt to an unbelievable degree. It costs a lot of money to make failed states out of Middle East nations. Obama has the budget deficit on a free fall. It is reducing dramatically annually. Yes, climate change is real and its really caused by space weather and geo-engineering. Obie can drop Cali off his bribery list.. B-bob has already collected 833 billion from carbon polluters with carbon taxes that state residents must repay. so dont expect Cali to pull the nation out of recession. The state has been in recession since 2014. But dont lose heart..B-bob has the money to run for president when Hairbelly gets indicted.

3	First Record Dow, Then Record Gas And Grocery PricesGary Gibson In the same breath, however, the mainstream media issurprisinglycandid about the real reason the stock market is at record highs. Stocks are also benefiting from the economic stimulus from the Federal Reserve and other global central banks. Under a program called quantitative easing, the Fed has bought trillions of dollars of bonds, pushing up their prices and sending their yields lower. That makes stocks more attractive to investors than bonds and keeps interest rates low throughout the economy, encouraging investment and spending. The U.S. central bank began buying bonds in January 2009 and is still purchasing $85 billion each month in Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities. In February the federal government borrowed $253 billion from the private market directly. Thats nearly $1,000 for every man, woman and child in the US! The money the federal government borrowed last month alone is six times the amount the much maligned sequester will shave off the budgetin a year. The media has been whipped into a frenzy over the notion of cutting just a few days worth of government borrowing and spending for the year. We shudder to think of how much better employed that money would have been in the private sector. Instead, it was mostly eaten by bureaucracy and used to fund the violent deaths of occupied peoples. And, of course, that borrowed money also sells unborn generations into debt slavery since theyre the ones who will be paying it off along with the interest. Also, we think the elation of higher stock prices will wear off when the newly created money inevitably works its way into the price of food and gasoline. As much as the government, central bank and their Keynesian enablers would like you to believe otherwise, newly created money wont just push up stock prices. It will work its way throughout the economy and drive up food, commodity and energy prices without driving up wages. Those who invest wisely, however, wont be bothered as QE makes everyone else poorer. Gold and silver are no-brainers as far as protecting purchasing power.

3	Libertarian VP Candidate William Weld: AR-15s Can Be Weapons of Mass Destruction and Handguns Are Even WorseBy Melissa Dykes Take Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnsons vice presidential running mate William Weld. The man was not just a signatory but a main chairman on the Council on Foreign Relations North American Union document, and he has personally described Hillary as an old friend he used to share an office with when they were investigating Watergate together where they formed a lifelong bond (see video below). Now hes also talking like Hillary when it comes to scary guns. Via Red Alert Politics: Weld also said he believed no one on a terrorist watch list should be allowed to purchase guns, even though, as the Huffington Post pointed out, it isnt too hard for an innocent person to end up on the list. Not exactly a very pro-freedom position from the Libertarian Party. Indeed. As Bearing Arms put it: So according to Weld, I can take an old military rifle like a Mosin Nagant attach clips to it pull a pin and then it will turn into achemical, biological or radioactive weapon capable of causing widespread death and destruction. Yep. Sounds like Weld wants to pander fear liberal left-style and destroy the 2nd Amendment just as much as his lifelong pal Hillary does.

Scary that the Trump/Pence campaign is looking like a much moderate choice! Not a libertarian.nope not. 
2	BREAKING: ISIS Beheads American, Obamas Reaction Is Pitiful READ WITH CAUTION: The following content is graphic. It is no secret that Obama has handled foreign affairs pretty miserably, and especially when it comes to the management of Iraq. Since our departure, ISIS, a terrorist organization has invaded and gained control of a large portion of the country, and is leaving a trail of violence behind them. Now it appears they are ready to send a warning to America. According to some recent video evidence, American journalist James Foley was captured and beheaded by the organization. Now, it appears that fellow journalist Steven Sotloff may be facing a similar fate. According to reports from the FBI, James Wright Foley was taken by an organized gange after departing from an internet caf in Binesh, Syria. Still, it wasnt until this week that ISIS came forward to confirm that they had Foley in their custody, and that they intended to use him to send a message to the Obama administration. To prove the point, a photo of his execution was taken and put on social media, allegedly just moments before he was beheaded. What do you think? Does ISIS need to be stopped immediately? Does Obama need to step up and do his job? 
1	After losing 27-23 to the Steelers in a hard-fought Super Bowl, Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt boldly addressed the Cardinals' detractors, lauding them for a correct prediction of a Steeler win. 'They said our defense couldn't come through in a big spot, that we were too inexperienced, that [running back] Edge [Edgerrin James] was finished: right, right, and right. I only wish I had listened to them and not gotten my hopes up so high,' said Whisenhunt, expressing satisfaction in proving doubters 'right, but barely.' 'We heard all week about how there was no way we'd come out of there with a win, and then that's the way it happened. Bottom line, they were right and I was wrong.' Whisenhunt then addressed those die-hard Cardinal fans who believed in the team all along, calling them 'delusional' and 'misguided.'

3	Are BPA Laced Foods Now Connected to Hypertension Too?Heather Callaghan When the chemical used as an epoxy lining for cans and plastics entered the market it was deemed safe. Although there were claims that small amounts ingested from food and beverages wouldnt be harmful low levels are indeed harmful. In fact, research shows that BPA causes 100 times the amount of damage previously claimed. So are you extra stressed? Fatigued? Under pressure and feeling dizzy? Is it a random blood pressure problem or is the BPA? While BPA has been associated with blood pressure rate and heart rate changes before. Korean researchers decided to put mostly female subjects to the test Researchers conducted a randomized crossover trial recruiting 60 adults over the age of 60 from a Korean community center. Each trial member visited the study site three times and was randomly provided with soy milk in either glass bottles or cans. Soy milk was chosen because, according to them, there are no know components in it to raise blood pressure. Later, urine was collected and tested for BPA concentration, blood pressure and heart rate variability two hours after consumption of each beverage. Urinary BPA concentration increased by up to 1,600 percent after consuming canned beverages compared to after consuming the glass-bottled beverages. Study author Yun-Chul Hong, M.D., Ph.D said: A 5 mm Hg increase in systolic blood pressure by drinking two canned beverages may cause clinically significant problems, particularly in patients with heart disease or hypertension. A 20 mm Hg increase in systolic blood pressure doubles the risk of cardiovascular disease. Thanks to the crossover intervention trial design, we could control most of the potential confounders, such as population characteristics or past medical history. Time variables, such as daily temperatures, however, could still affect the results. The researchers wish for decision-makers, doctors and the public to be aware of the heart risks associated with BPA exposure. Hong adds: I suggest consumers try to eat fresh foods or glass bottle-contained foods rather than canned foods and hopefully, manufacturers will develop and use healthy alternatives to BPA for the inner lining of can containers. BPA is not considered an ingredient, even though it is certainly ingested because its well established that it leaches into food and drink especially through toxic food packaging. Other sources are ATM-like receipt paper and resins used in dental procedures. It has been linked to obesity, infertility and reproductive disorders in both genders, breast cancer, behavioral problems, low sperm counts and more. Last year, its damaging effects on neuro-development were scrutinized and it was shown to cause brain impairment. Two years ago, a Harvard study found a whopping 1200% spike in BPA levels in the urine of people who had recently eaten canned soup. So of course the EPA would drop the substance from their list of concerns on the heels of those findings Do you ever think industry researchers applaud things as safe to get it approved just so they have something to study for the next 30 years? Only to come back and say Oh, oops, turns out its not safe at all, but more research is needed Here are 7 ways to drain substances like BPA out of the body.

1	Friends and loved ones of deceased community leader Bob Liddell alleged Monday that the occasion of his passing was exploited for mere religious purposes, accusing the officiating pastor at his Saturday funeral, the Rev. Frank Hyams, of turning the ceremony into a pro-Christian diatribe. 'We gathered to pay our respects to Bob, but instead we were forced to listen to nothing but Jesus this, God that,' Liddell family friend Fran Grunbladt said. 'This was supposed to be a heartfelt, solemn, and respectful tribute to Bob's life, not an excuse to further the minister's own dogmatic agenda. While it's true Bob was a churchgoer, that's no excuse to take advantage of the poor man's death.' Hyams refused to apologize for his actions, further inciting controversy by claiming that Liddell is 'in heaven now.'

3	What is the Average American Diet? InfographicMike Barrett With the average American consuming 24 lbs of artificial sweeteners, 29 lbs of french fries, and over 600 lbs of dairy per year, the average American is in a state of crisis. The average American diet is heavily responsible for the escalating obesity rates and is ultimately contributing to the development of illness and diseases. According to the below infographic, the average American consumes about 1 gallon of soda per week, which equates to more than 18 fluid ounces, or 1.5 sodas per day. These sodas are loaded with sugar, with a 12oz can containing 35-45 grams an amount that exceeds the recommended daily intake of 15 grams. Whats more, these sugars are typically in the form of high-fructose corn syrup;one of the cheapest, and most health-hazardous forms of sugar that can be used. Another concerning number in the average American diet is the amount of artificial sweeteners consumed. Those consumed include substances like aspartame, Splenda, Sweet N Low, and Equal. None of these artificial sweeteners are healthy, and are even having a negative impact on your health. One study found that 67% of female rats exposed to aspartame developed tumors roughly the size of golf balls or larger. Saccharin, best known as Sweet N Low has been shown to have carcinogenic links. During the 1960s, studies on rats indicated saccharin was related to bladder cancer, but the FDA has allowed saccharin to remain as a food additive. Needless to say, there are many more problems associated with the average American diet. While consumption of food shown in weight (as the inforgraphic shows) isnt the absolute best way to pinpoint the issues with any diet, the numbers do give us a representation and idea of how much were eating. If you want to compare generalizations between nations around the world, take a look at what the world eats. Check out the infographic below for some startling statistics. 
3	FBI yet again foils their own fake terrorist plot, this time targeting the NY Federal ReserveMadison Ruppert, Contributor For those who think the most recent case of 21-year-old Bangladeshi national Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBIs) major role in said case is something of a fluke, think again. Indeed, the FBIs business is manufacturing terrorism of all kinds and breaking the law in the process. The two most recent cases I personally covered occurred in February of this year and then in May of this year as well. Lets not forget that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) also thwarted their own little manufactured terror plot in May of this year as well. The most recent case involving Nafis has not bucked the trend in the slightest. According to USA Todays latest update at the time of writing this story, Nafis allegedly met with an undercover FBI agent who provided him with inert explosives. Once again, we learn that the terrorist actually never was in contact with any real terrorists (other than those hiding behind the safety of a badge) and was never even able to procure real explosives. Instead, as is the case with so many other cases of the government thwarting their own plots, we learn that Nafis actually would never have done anything if it were not for the help of the FBI. The FBIs narrative asserts that Nafis met the undercover FBI agent at a warehouse in the New York metro region where he made the bomb, consisting of inert explosives, then assembled the detonator and armed the device in the van as the undercover agent drove to the Fed. For those who still believe that there is some giant horde of bloodthirsty terrorists hiding in American cities waiting to attack, the truths revealed by this latest manufactured terror plot will likely prove problematic. Like the case of the 82-year-old nun who was able to waltz onto the Fort Knox of Uranium, a supposedly highly secure nuclear facility, earlier this year, this case paints a strange picture of the alleged terrorist threat. If terrorists were indeed scattered around the United States waiting to attack as our government would like us to believe, why wasnt Nafis able to come in contact with a single one? Similarly, if a nun and two others can walk onto a nuclear facility, set off alarms, and still remain undetected for an extended period of time, why hasnt a terrorist or group of terrorists already done the same? Indeed, Nafis was never actually a threat to anyone as revealed by NBC New York in reporting, Law enforcement officials stress that the plot was a sting operation monitored by the FBI and NYPD and the public was never at risk. The materials he believed were explosives had been rendered inoperable, officials said. This is the same old story we see repeated ad infinitum in the so-called war on terror. As U.S. Attorney Loretta E. Lynch from the Eastern District of New York stated, He thought he was directing confederates and fellow believers. At every turn, he was wrong, and his extensive efforts to strike at the heart of the nations financial system were foiled by effective law enforcement. In reality he was never even in contact with confederates and fellow believers but instead like so many other recent cases Nafis was actually just dealing with the U.S. government the entire time. Vigilance is our watchword now and into the foreseeable future, stated Paul J. Browne, the deputy commissioner of the New York City Police Department. Thats why we have over 1,000 police officers assigned to counter-terrorism duties every day, and why we built the Domain Awareness System. I want to commend the NYPD detectives and FBI agents of the Joint Terrorist Task Force for the work they did in the case and in other ways every day to help New York City safe from terrorists. One must wonder why he didnt mention the NYPDs offices around the globe in locales as seemingly unrelated to New York City as Kfar Saba, Israel. According to unnamed federal authorities, The plot came to light as an FBI undercover agent posed as an al-Qaeda facilitator. Yet again we learn that the terror plot was actually facilitated by an FBI agent pretending to be al Qaeda. This has become so common one cannot help but wonder if there is a single alleged member of al Qaeda who isnt an agent or asset of at least one U.S. government entity. This is just reinforced by reports like that from CNN which states, The Bangladeshi national allegedly came to the United States in January to carry out a terror attack on U.S. soil and said he had overseas connections to al-Qaeda. As he attempted to recruit others to join his cell, he tried to recruit someone who turned out to be an FBI source, the criminal complaint reportedly says according to CNN. This type of reporting just makes it infinitely more clear what is actually going on here. The truth is that either Nafis was lying in claiming overseas connections to al Qaeda or he indeed had such connections, he just didnt know that the supposed al Qaeda terrorists were actually U.S. government agents. One would assume if he actually had connections to the real al Qaeda he would be able to procure even a tiny bit of real explosives or at least be able to tell the difference between the real deal and inert explosives. One would also assume that if he actually had connections to the real al Qaeda he wouldnt be blindly recruiting anyone and everyone including an FBI agent posing as an al Qaeda facilitator. Would he really not be in contact with a single al Qaeda operative if he actually did have connections with such a group? It seems painfully obvious that as the details emerge the case just becomes even more clearly one of FBI-sponsored manufactured terrorism. It will be interesting to see how this is spun, especially after the damaging Senate report which revealed just how laughable the so-called FusionCenters really are in carrying out their public mission of fighting terrorism. It will also be quite fascinating to see if and how this is spun by Obama and Romney as well as the rest of the federal government that relies on a climate of fear and paranoia to exert control. While it the fact that this plot was being handled by the U.S. government from the start, is hardly arguable, one can reasonably expect that it will be turned into yet another reason for more spending, less rights and greater government control.

2	Mitt Romney Just Made A Trump Announcement Every Single Trump Supporter Has Been Waiting For As Donald Trump continues to grow in popularity, the #NeverTrump movement has continued going strong, with many conservative pundits and individual voters refusing to back the Republican Partys presumptive presidential nominee. We dont have to vote for either liberal, Juliet Army tweeted. Isnt freedom great? #NeverTrump #NeverHillary Freedom is never lame VOTE. Now, many GOP insiders who had hoped to launch an alternative to Trump have started to see the effort as futile. One prominent Republic has decided to walk away from the effort altogether. The reason were loud about #NeverTrump is because were concerned he might win, Byron York added. Being competitive reinforces that. Based on polling results, Trump will competitive against likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Central figures in the movement have started abandoning the pursuit in an effort to keep Clinton far away from the White House. One of the most vocal against Trump has been Mitt Romney, the GOP presidential nominee in 2012. According to reports, however, Romney called off the push after his top picks declined the opportunity to run. This is just one example of what this type of effort could look like. They can try to hijack another party and get on the ballot, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in a recent Fox News interview. But, look, its a suicide mission for our country because what it means is that youre throwing down not just eight years of the White House but potentially 100 years on the Supreme Court and wrecking this country for many generations. What do you think of these comments? 
2	Muslim Unleash On ChickAccording to recent reports, a Muslim former employee of Chick-fil-A is suing the fast food chain over what he is claiming to be religious bias. According to Aziz Latif, 25, of Houston, TX, Chick-fil-As Christian stance extends beyond its policy to close on Sunday. The former employee alleges that their mission to glorify God discriminates against non-Christian employees. Latif claims that he was fired just one day after he refused to pray to Jesus during a training session in 2000. According to his lawsuit, his performance evaluation had praised him as being a great manager who knew the operation side of business very well. Latif also claims that the company refused to pay his medical bills and expenses, although they were incurred while on his employee benefit plan. Now Latif is seeking reinstatement and damages for emotional distress, attorneys fees and backed pay. Jerry Johnston, a spokesman for the chain, claims the companys religious stance does not infringe upon their employees rights. What do you think of the lawsuit? 
1	Following several unsuccessful attempts to find a specific article on a national media website, readers confirmed Monday that the built-in search engine found in the upper-right-hand corner of the online publication is nothing short of useless. For example, I wanted to find a story they did recently about Michael Bay, and so I typed in his name, but the first results that came up were articles about NASA, Jim Harbaugh, and aliens, said longtime reader Courtney Dunning, who admitted to reporters she was surprised that a website with two decades of backlogged content would have such a poorly designed and ineffective method for accessing its archived material. Searching for Michael Bays new movie didnt get me anywhere, either. In fact, even when I typed in the exact headline of the article, it told me no results could be found. As of press time, Dunning had reportedly abandoned the websites search bar, Googled what she was looking for, and found it on her first attempt. 
2	Blood Hound Trey Gowdy Just Found The Keys In Hillarys Emails That Will Lock Her Away For Good Hillary Clinton may have thought her legal troubles were behind her, but both WikiLeaks and Trey Gowdy have been fighting hard to ensure she sees justice for her criminal activity. Now, WikiLeaks has just released communication that demonstrates just how terrified Clinton and her staff are of Gowdy. According to reports, one of Clintons top advisers forwarded her and others full-length transcripts of Gowdys interviews on new programs, talking about his investigation. The team then desperately strategized on how to handle the potential fallout. Liberals once supported WikiLeaks as a way to increase transparency. Now that their nominee is under the microscope, theyre changing their tune. What do you think? Does Clinton belong in jail and not in the White House?

1	WASHINGTON, DCThe annual White House Slam Dunk Contest, a spring ritual since 1977, featured its usual share of cringe-worthy misses and twisted knees Monday, but once again, no slam dunks. 'I tell you, this is some sorry stuff I'm seeing,' celebrity judge and former San Antonio Spur George 'Iceman' Gervin said, holding up a '1' card after press secretary Scott McClellan made an awkward leap in a pair of wingtips. 'The three-point contest was bad enough, but this is just depressing.' The last White House slam dunk on record occurred in 1983, when a blindfolded Secretary of the Interior James Watt leaped from the foul line to execute an aerial 360-spin into a tomahawk that shattered the backboard. 
2	FBI Makes Landmark Announcement About Hillary... ITS HAPPENING Things arent looking good for Hillary Clinton. As desperate as she is to pretend that the FBIs investigation into her private email server is a complete joke, a new revelation suggests that she could be facing very serious charges soon. According to reports, a Vice News reporter tried to protest the classification of an FBI decision pertaining to the investigation into the former Secretary of State. They responded in kind by saying they couldnt make the document public because it would adversely affect the ongoing investigation into Clintons private email server, The Federalist Papers wrote. Fair enough, but it is two words further into the DOJ memorandum that will be sure to raise some eyebrows. The department claims it cant reveal the document because doing so could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings. Rusty Weiss also pointed out that the phrase enforcement proceedings is only used when an investigation or proceeding involves a possible violation of criminal law. This indicates that the Justice department is actually planning to charge Hillary with criminal behavior. Were keeping our fingers crossed that she sees justice. What do you think? Does Hillary belong behind bars? 
1	Prior to President Obamas annual State of the Union address Tuesday night, audience members in the House chamber were presented with a touching In Memoriam video in remembrance of all the Americans who died in 2012. It was a fitting tribute to all those who were sadly taken away from us far too soon, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said shortly after the conclusion of the poignant video, in which photos and names of the 2.6 million deceased Americans who died in 2012 were shown one-by-one on a large screen as Judy Garlands rendition of Smile played on the sound system. We will certainly never forget their many contributions to our nation. At press time, the segment had been heavily criticized for failing to include Layton, UT resident Jonathan Sonnen, Denver resident Sarah Kaplan, and Gore Vidal. 
3	Meet The Artist Who Paints And Sells Portraits Of Homeless People, Giving Them The ProfitsBy Sophie McAdam Faces of Santa Ana is a continuous exhibition of portraits of homeless people, founded by Californian artist Brian Peterson. Brian talks to members of Santa Anas homeless community, collects their stories and paints their portraits. After getting a signature from them in the corner of the canvas, Brian then sells the artwork downtown. All the proceeds go to help each subject back on the road to rehabilitation. Brian is a spiritual man, and he was inspired to start the project after reading a book by a Christian author about loving actions. Love takes action. Love is often about sacrificing your own time and talents while making yourself available for other people, Brian explained in an interview with Metro. This core message from the book Love Does became the foundation for launching Faces of Santa Ana, and even though Brian hadnt picked up a paintbrush in seven years, he decided to reach out to the homeless men and women in the city of Santa Ana by using his creative gift. Brians aim was to use art as a transformational tool, in addition to simply being there for his new friends by listening to their stories. On his Instagram page, Brian writes this about his subject Matthew: Shannon was the first of my new found friends to sign his piece. His gratitude was a humbling experience for me as an artist. Shannon is an advocate of the overall idea and will stop by to share his story with spectators. Id love to see this guy back on his feet someday. Writing on Instagram, Brian says: Creativity and art have a transformative ability. Darryl uses his unique ability to see value in what others may view as trash to construct iconic items admired by many Santa Ana residents. His walker with the attached roller blades for increased maneuverability is photographed daily by bystanders at the first street bus stop. He tells me one day hell file for a patent on this idea. Darryls new creation he calls satellite is made from an old car hubcap and camera tripod stand. He pointed out to me that the legs of the tripod are carefully adjusted so the hub cap points up at the sky like a real satellite would. The items simplicity paired with the familiarity of the found objects brings smiles to the faces of pedestrians waiting at traffic lights, riding bikes, and waiting for the bus. He says: I dont have cable yet, but I have a satellite! I know now that Darryl desires smiles. He yearns for conversation and laughter with strangers that are curious of the thought process behind his creations. When asked about his life on the streets of Santa Ana Darryl stated Im above where Im at. Just because my butts here doesnt mean my brains here. Continue to pray for my new friend. Hes always in great spirit and finds optimism where most would give up. Please support Brians great work by sharing this article and liking his Facebook page and Instagram profile!

Interacting, rather than ignoring the homeless.And helping them to get back on their feet. You, Brian, are selfless and to be commended for making your community a better place. We can all learn from you. Talk about love AND action Thats the kind of person That Makes God smile Great example of a humanitarian who cares about his fellow man/woman regardless of their position in life. A great way to show people that those who are homeless are also people with stories, hopes and even dreams for a better life. 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 This country sure has its priority screwed up. We praise the perverts, protect those who destroy the norms of society, and encourage and support homelessness. Truly we are a double minded people. We support slaughtering innocent little human beings and farm out their body parts for monetary gain. We deserve the coming anger of God, it will surly come quickly. The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to say nothing. Outstanding!! The Sermon on the Mount in action. It inevitably brings a smile to the face of those who love good This artists example should serve as personal provocation to each of us, as to what we could do to make a positive difference.

2	BREAKING: Obama Decides Jailed Marines Fate, And Youre Not Going To Like It Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi changed his life forever when he accidentally crossed the border into Mexico while in possession of three legal firearms. Since that moment, he has been held in a Mexican prison, where he has been facing PTSD and diminishing health. Finally, after month-long pleas from the American public, a House subcommittee held a hearing addressing the Marines incarceration. On the same day as that hearing, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest if the President had intentions to address the issue. My colleagues at the State Department are very focused on this issue, Earnest to CNS News. And so, Id refer you to them for their efforts to work with the Mexican government. When Earnest was asked about whether a direct call to President Nieto had taken place, Earnest claimed, I dont believe it has happenedand thats because this is an issue that is being handled through the State Department and through the existing channels at the State Department. While the government is taken action, Arizona Representative Matt Salmon claimed that he was mystified that Obama went to great lengths to secure the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, but has not done the same for Sgt. Tahmooressi. What do you think of Obamas lack of action on this matter? 
3	About 40 Percent Of All Food In The United States Is Thrown In The GarbageMichael Snyder Even though 47 million Americans are on food stamps and millions of children go to bed hungry in this country every single night, we continue to waste approximately263 million pounds of food every single day of the year. One day people will look back and regard us as probably the most wasteful society in the history of the planet. So where does all of that food go? Well, according to a recent Seattle Times article, food waste takes up more space in our landfills than anything else does Last year, the NRDC found that Americans throw out as much as 40 percent of the countrys food supply each year, adding up to $165 billion in losses. Some $900 million of expired food is dumped from the supply chain annually, much of it a result of confusion. Misinterpreted date labels cause the average American household of four to lose as much as $455 a year on squandered food, according to researchers. The expired food that gets wasted is one of my personal pet peeves. Earlier today I was out running errands and I decided that I wanted to pick up some mini-cupcakes from Safeway that I just love. I do try to eat a healthy diet, but I do also like a treat from time to time. So I got over to Safeway, and I noticed that the only mini-cupcakes that they had out were ones with chocolate frosting, but I wanted ones with vanilla frosting. So I went up to the bakery counter and there was nobody there, but behind the counter I saw a stack of several containers of vanilla cupcakes. I waited until the bakery lady got back and I asked her if I could have them. I was astounded when she very firmly told me that I could not buy them. She said that it was against regulations. I implored her to sell them to me. I explained that I had come over to Safeway just to buy them and I didnt care if they were a little old. Again she very firmly told me that I could not buy them. I could not understand this. I knew that the cupcakes were just going to be thrown out, so I asked to speak to her manager. After a few moments her manager came over and I was once again told very firmly that under no circumstances would I be able to buy the cupcakes. So needless to say, I left the store with a sad look on my face and without any cupcakes. Now of course I probably didnt need the cupcakes anyway. They are not healthy for me. But big chains such as Safeway throw away massive amounts of very good food as well. The level of the waste that goes on is absolutely astounding. Meanwhile, the number of Americans that are dealing with hunger and malnutrition grows with each passing day. I want to share with you an excerpt from a recent article authored by Jason Ford entitled I Work On The Breadline I work as a cashier at a nationally known discount store. I sell clothing, cleaning products, house wares and food. The people I sell to are people of all colors, races, ages and sex, but most of them have one thing in common; EBT cards. I would say about half of every transaction I do is paid for with an EBT card. Sometimes people will use three different methods of payment. They will use whatever is left on their EBT card, then use whatever is left on their debit card, and then scrape their purse to find the remaining balance, and sometimes they still dont have enough. Another common trait of the people I serve besides the poverty is the poor health. The food I sell is not healthy, by any stretch. I sell potato chips, candy bars, bread, canned food, ice cream, soda, packaged meat, cigarettes and alcohol. I noticed quickly that a common ingredient of most of the foods is sugar and grains. Sugar and grains are easy to grow and produce cheaply and are used as fillers in processed food to cut cost and mask the taste of other questionable ingredients. Grains work in conjunction with sugars to inflame the body and compromise the immune system. Grains and sugars also have no nutritional value besides calories, so on top of inflaming the body; they do not provide the sustenance the body needs to survive. As the functions of the body require these nutrients the diet lacks, the body sucks these minerals from the bones, teeth and brain. Bone loss, and tooth decay and decreased brain function are the unfortunate symptoms of malnutrition. The poorest of the customers I serve are also the sickest. I have witnessed toothless mouths in the young and old. Mental retardation is also a common trait among many of them. I have even witnessed one unfortunate woman whose skin was a pale green color. These people are dying a slow starvation and they dont even know it. Doesnt that just break your heart? People are living like that, and yet America discards 263 million pounds of food every single day. So what is society going to do as the number of hungry people continues to grow in this country and around the world? Well, according to ABC News, some scientists plan to feed them with flour made out of bugs A team of MBA students were the recipients of the 2013 Hult Prize earlier this week, providing them with $1 million in seed money to produce an insect-based, protein-rich flour for feeding malnourished populations in other countries. The product is called Power Flour. Its a huge deal because we had a very ambitious but highly executable five-year plan in place, said team captain Mohammed Ashour, whose team hails from McGill University in Montreal. So winning this prize is a great step in that direction. Ashour, along with teammates Shobhita Soor, Jesse Pearlstein, Zev Thompson and Gabe Mott, will be immediately working with an advisory board to recruit farmers and workers in Mexico, where a population of roughly 4 million live in slum conditions with widespread malnutrition. Have you ever thought about getting your food out of a trash can? Dont laugh. Dumpster diving has become a hot new trend in America. In fact, dumpster divers even have a trendy new name. They call themselves freegans, and as the economy crumbles their numbers are multiplying. Many freegans consider dumpster diving to be a great way to save money on groceries. Others do it because they want to live more simply. Who knows perhaps some enterprising young dumpster diver will end up fishing the vanilla cupcakes that I wanted out of Safeways dumpsters this evening. It is amazing what some of these dumpster divers are able to recover from the trash. In North Carolina, one man even takes his son dumpster diving with him A programmer by day, Todd takes to the streets of North Carolina by night, digging through Dumpsters at drug stores and grocery stores all around his rural neighborhood. You would be simply amazed at what businesses throw out, he said. Ive only had to buy two loaves of bread all year. Last week I had a trunk full of cereal, cookies, chips and ramen noodles. Todd slinks in and out of smelly places with low-light flashlights to evade rent-a-cops who will shoo him away. Most nights, his 14-year-old son comes along. Unfortunately, dumpster diving is not as easy as it used to be. As dumpster diving has soared in popularity, some grocery stores have responded by putting locks on their dumpsters. And in some areas of the country, police have even started regularly arresting dumpster divers. A permanent solution would be to quit wasting so much food. I applaud the grocery store chains that choose to donate their expired food to homeless shelters and food banks. We need to see a lot more of that going on. And in our own homes we need to find ways to give more food away and waste less of it. All of this needless wasting of food does not have to happen. Lets work together to find some solutions.

3	Another Torture Lover in Obamas CIAYoutube TYT 
1	Unbeknownst to one another, every single member of the office staff at Kelleher Advertising Associates is planning to carry out a workplace shooting spree next Monday, reporters learned this week. According to their independently formulated yet nearly identical plans, the companys 38 employees will arrive at the office early on Jan. 14, each carrying a duffel bag containing an assault rifle, handguns, and several hundred rounds of ammunition. At precisely 9 a.m., as indicated in each of their individual plots, every member of the advertising agencys staff will simultaneously produce their weapons and open fire on one another. No one is going to walk out of the office alive on Monday, 30-year-old copywriter Benjamin Cowan told reporters privately, completely unaware that every person he works with on a daily basis was equally prepared to carve a similar path of carnage through the office at the exact same date and time. The first thing Im going to do is shoot Adriana in accounting, then pump a few dozen rounds right into the sales department and [CEO] Doug [Kelleher]. Theyre never going to see this coming. Cowan promised to unleash a river of blood, unknowingly echoing the words of all 37 of his colleagues. Im going to shoot Ben Cowan first, 42-year-old accountant Adriana Simons said. Then Im going to mow down Mr. Kelleher and the whole sales staff. I can already see the expression of shock on everyones faces when they see me firing on them, Simons added. No ones going to expect this. In 38 separate interviews given to reporters, the companys employees all said they intend to stay at work late on the preceding Friday evening so they can barricade the floors emergency exits ahead of their respective killing sprees. In addition, having independently noted that the buildings custodian does not work Mondays, each staff member has reportedly devised a strategy to stow a bag of weaponry and body armor inside the same janitorial closet for retrieval at precisely 9 a.m. Every person on the company payroll reported his or her plan was flawless, foolproof, and cant miss. I dont work on Mondays, so its going to catch everyone by surprise when I come in that morning and start shooting, said custodian Karl White, 51. Ill seal off all the exits over the weekend and hide my AR-15 in my closet. That way, when I get there at 9 on Monday, I can just grab it and lay waste to everyone, especially Mr. Kelleher. Im going to burst right into his office and blow his brains outIve been waiting to do that for a long time, added White, repeating verbatim the exact plans of associate Kyle Morgan, layout designer Janet Hargraves, human resources coordinator Valorie Fry, IT manager Dwayne Bentley, executive assistant James Yarbrough, assistant to the vice president Alan Gregory, vice president Diane Vervain, the entire sales department, senior partners Danielle Kwan and Dean Osgood, the companys two interns, and the 19 other individuals employed by the firm. Additional sources confirmed that at least a dozen former employees who have been laid off or fired by Kelleher Associates within the past five years are also planning to arrive at the office on Jan. 14 to carry out their own shooting sprees. Everyone will be totally unprepared when I burst out of my office Monday morning and start firing right into the sales department, said chief executive Doug Kelleher, who has repeatedly envisioned shooting dead every person he passes in the hallway, and who, in turn, has time and again been gunned down in the minds of those very same people. And after I take everyone out, there will be nothing left but the ultimate release of putting the gun to my own temple. Ive been waiting to do that for a long time, Kelleher added. All who share the Kelleher Associates office confirmed they had begun making their final preparations for their mass shootings, placing extra assault rifle clips they might need in their desk drawers, above the drop ceilings of their cubicles, or taped under the office kitchen sink, while at least five separate individuals said they had placed clips in the base of the large planter in the offices entryway. Theres no turning back now, every last person employed at the company told reporters separately. On Monday, I will finally wreak vengeance on everyone who has stood in my way. Ill show them all, all added. At press time, the companys employees were all seated at their workstations, simultaneously typing up manifestos they planned to leave for law enforcement to discover following their respective massacres. 
3	Frackin Reserve Run on the Banks? Or Run on the People? (4/6)Thus, our national circulating medium is now at the mercy of loan transactions of banks, which lend, not money, but promises to supply money they do not possess. Irving Fisher In the last part we saw how float time was fraudulently used in fractional reserve banking by banksters the same way that check kiters have used float time, and we also looked at how float time builds a temporal pyramid structure analogous to a traditional pyramid scheme.Part 4 examines how a run on the bank works, and how banks run on the people to cause recessions and depressions. Remember back to the pyramid in float time and the mainspring metaphor. In the mainspring metaphor, fractional reserve banking gains energy through iterations the same way that a mainspring gains energy when wound. Conversely, the unwinding of a mainspring releases that energy, and the same holds for fractional reserve banking; when fractional reserve works in reverse, it loses energy. That can be visualized on our temporal pyramid: A Run on the Banks A run on the bank happens when depositors show up en masse to withdraw their deposits. That is to say, when the people demand their money from the bank. From the Frackin Reserve simulator, we see something like this: Remember that this is a cycle, so Reserves + Deposits = Loans in the next row. Addition does not work across rows there. So at iteration 10, if enough people come to the bank to ask for more than $651.32, then there is a run on the bank. But at that stage, people have deposited $6,513.22, which is far more than the meager reserves that the bank has. The system relies on people keeping 90%+ of their money in the bank. If people decide to withdraw more than 10% of their deposits, we have a run on the bank. That number is the same as the reserve requirement. i.e. 10% = 0.1 in this example. Keep in mind that a number of European banks were just urged to raise their reserves to 8%. Going back to the pyramid illustration, the double-ended float time arrows alternately represent depositors and borrowers. The run on the bank happens when the borrowers withdraw their money, so highlighting the arrow-heads in red where money is withdrawn from the system looks like this: Those billions/trillions of dollars come from the people through government-issued bonds that are to be repaid through taxes, tariffs, duties, and other instruments of government theft of peoples wealth, labor and property. A Run on the People But thats not the only way that the banksters steal from people. They can also induce a run on the people. That is to say, when the banks demand/entice money from the people. This is a two-pronged attack by the banks where they accept deposits without loaning them out, and start to call in loans. The result is a contracted money supply. This results in recessions and depressions, unemployment, foreclosures on homes, chaos, pandemonium, bedlam, and dogs sleeping with cats. Referring back to the pyramid illustration, this is where the banksters attack happens: With a shortage of money, people are forced to sell off assets (real wealth) for less than the normal market value because the demand for money is high, while the relative supply of real wealth is high, i.e. a glut of wealth on the market, and a scarcity of money (see part 2 for Money vs. Wealth). The banks, who just so happen to have money, then buy up real assets for pennies on the dollar. A typical example is the $500,000 home selling for $350,000. In Detroit, homes sell for less than $200 (two hundred dollars). That wasnt a typo. With a completely random search on detroit real estate, my first result turns up a 4 bedroom, 2,000 sq. ft. home selling for $8,000. Those are 2 ways that the banksters can launch an attack on the people, but they are also far from being the complete sum total of attacks. The banksters have many other ways as well, not the least of which is usury or interest. So far in this series of articles we have not looked at interest or the role it plays in banking, other than a quick quote from Aristotle about how unnatural it is. Part 5 will examine usury and compound interest. Ryan Smyth is a Canadian expat currently living in Australia. He works in software, but is passionate about many current issues and the impending demise of freedom and privacy. He can be found blathering on (and sometimes ranting) at his blog, Cynic.me.

3	Blaming Russia For Everything Wrong in the US is Getting DangerousBy Luke Rudkowski Any myopic lens is dangerous, as Luke himself must know given last year the leadership of the Los Angeles chapter of We Are Change went rogue and demanded a new narrative for 9/11 Truth: that the entire operation was strictly Israeli while denying the history of false flags such as Sandy Hook. The group fractured but it foreshadowed a cointelpro operation obscuring crimes of the Bankers and the purpose of the UN. Ignoring the fact that behind the curtain Russian elites are working hand in hand with the top cap of the pyramid is also dangerous. All nations including Russia are now tied to BIS and doing the following; implementing Agendas 21 and 2030; G20 agreement on central bank Bail-Ins; G20 agreement to share income and tax data on all individuals via a central data base, the precursor to a global tax; G20 stance on world government; deep economic interdependence esp. in energy related companies (the plan hammered out last year to redirect $90 Trillion in capital to the new economic order); implementing cashless society with smart cards; globally connected Smart Grid; participation in global geoengineering; WHO and global mandates on vaccinations; and the cross selling advanced military weapons (US Israel to Iran; Russia to Saudi Arabia, etc). Something wicked this way comes = global gulag. Thank you, Grace by Faith on yt. Perfect summary teeny antithesis to a whopping thesis. Heres your comment from Disqus notification: Grace by Faith on yt: Boom! Truth bomb deployed! Great comment! The entirety of We Are Change sold out and now is pretty much considered controlled opposition in most truth networks and communities, just playing a teensy little antithesis to a whopping thesis, and actually aiding the creation of the synthesis by misdirecting us. Truths out, Luke sold us down the river and the only proof needed is articles like this that blatantly mask the truth. Thats right ban me for telling the truth. Shame on you, youre nothing but controlled opposition too, just like Luke, and you know it. And now a whole lot of others will, too. So much for free speech, turns out its a massive psy-op too. So you let that comment post but not the one with the meat of the truth with zero potatoes? Wow. smh. Pieces of work, you are, AP. You dont ban, you just refuse to post anything that doesnt follow your money-making narrative. selfnews Post is a shill make viral. Agreed 100%, if only for the fact theyre still promoting this fake fight with Russia and promoting typical fear-porn just like msm. Dont know whats going on with my Disqus account, first they ban me, or the notification pop-up said I was banned for life from Disqus, and then I checked my account and here I am! Watch out for AllNewsPipeline, too, those are the only two websites I posted on. LOL Pathetic. Thank you, Grace by Faith on yt. I re-posted your comment below mine. Thanks, blue! This is the second time in a week theyve refused to post my comment, the first one said I was banned for life on Disqus for, get this, spamming! Guess that was smoke mirrors too, because here I am! Dont know whats going on, but its going to take more than this to hush me up. God bless and thanks again. You arent the only onegetting banned or rather not allowing ones comment to post. Is that what you are talking about? What an irritation to spend a lot of brain energy and time to write a conscientious comment and then not able to post in red. Is this the same thing youve seen? No, I actually sat waiting for an hour for it to post, said it had to be reviewed by activist post first, then received a big red pop up saying I was banned from Disqus for life (LOL), then after researching it, it was supposedly for spamming which is laughable. They lifted it, obviously, but they are all doing their best to hush up the truth~ Good luck out there, Stormy, its going to get worse and even more confusing most likely. God bless~ I just got kicked off againlets see if I can paste it hereThere is always more to a story than what youve been given. This David Draiman Dudeis a NORMAL, family loving guy that just happens to have had voice training only those with talent or money can access. He is playing the GAME. And doing beautifully. This revision of this wonderful song that comes with so much baggage put him on the map. Do you guys understand what it takes to make a living doing what you love that few have been able to pile up the big bucks? Love Simon and Garfunkel. Their song is a huge part of our culture. But David and his voice made this song to last for another 100 or so years. Just something about his voicefor real. I grew up with Simon and Garfunkel and others. Change causes genetic adaptation, creates heartier humans. To hold onto an idea just because it is familiar, perfect for its time is wimpy. Sorry. A song that lasts this long deserved to be refreshed yet still within the original form from its conception. WHOA Putin knows he is dealing with teenagers, and is waiting for more reasonable leaders. The amount of patience for all the blaming and false accusations, knowing if he doesnt cooperate with the NWO agenda of giving up Russian sovereignty hes in line for assassination attempts, etc. is an astounding burden for one man. The US better get it right this election, and ferret out the election fraud and the entire actual process, or the world will be groaning under more war and pollution. It is time for free energy, and to rid ourselves of the environmental catastrophes of oil, and past time to work together for the good of all. Gosh, I just dont know how to respond to you. First, Putin knows precisely what hes doing because hes following a script. Hes already sold out his countrymen to the UN just like every UN nation has, especially the USA. Why would he be assassinated when hes actually FOR the NWO agenda? Doesnt make sense. And the US wont get it right in any election because there are none. Your vote is not a vote at all, it is your opinion which the corporation masquerading as our government needs to manufacture its consent to rule a contract, and the president of this corporation has already been chosen. A VERY long time ago. The world is groaning and has done for EVERY war theyve put us through and theyve done it on purpose again, part of the script/plan. The environmental catastrophes are wholly illusory global warming is one of the biggest scams of them all, and theyre implementing Agenda 2030 in order to regulate everything on earth, including the CO2 we breathe out. They have the utter nerve to say its a toxin when in fact, it is a building block of life. Life IS CARBON BASED. They just want to own, document, regulate, and control every single thing that exists in the world, and its quite possibly the biggest lie of them all. To think they can on the one hand say the environment is unsafe so we need to sacrifice for future generations, and on the other spray us and the environment on a daily basis now with toxic metals and God knows what, is the epitome of evil. And lastly, for the good of all NEVER, and I mean NEVER, EVER includes us. For the greater good is a UN meme, and it means For the good of the great and Im sorry to report, that doesnt include us, who are nothing but slaves sold into bondage to uphold debt, or human capital. See: Executive Order 13037. All we can hope for is there is one world leader who is sane, not an implant, and will come through for humanity. All is not lost yet. Faith vs. fear. I am betting on Putin who outlawed GMOs and is loyal to his country. If anyone can make their life count, his nonverbal says it is him. Besides, being half Russian, he and I would have been peers there had my grandparents not been running from the Cossacks. I sense his intelligence and his character are strong in the right places. His reluctance to shake Obamas hand was one moment of truth. In a world of clones and treachery, anything can happen. The complacency and path of a country like ours is a lesson for the world. Youre still sleeping, hon. The NWO is pure evil, and there is much you can do to stop it, which is way better than wishing these Luciferians who have been plotting it for, well, ever, will be benevolent. They will not be, I assure you, and you can see for yourself in their strides to cull the population for a manageable number of people to keep the world in perpetual balance with nature. Thats all BS, they want to kill us because they will not need us anymore when they replace nearly all our jobs with drones and a robotic workforce. They want to preserve nature for themselves, not for humanity, and the only reason were still here now is to hold up their ridiculous debt. Putins in the same Fraternal Templar Order as Obama, and just about every leader of every UN nation. These are Roman Orders, and theyve been around for millennia, and the goal to unite the world under one leader is simply the resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire. If you happen to think this new Pope Francis is benevolent, and I dont know if you do of course, hes the very first Jesuit Pope. Google Jesuit Oath of Induction and you will see whats really going on in the world. The Pope claims to own everything on earth, including you. He is the leader of every fraternal Order, including freemasons, every world leader bows to him, and they believe the ends justify the means and they will do anything, even murdering their families and innocent babies, to have their ends which is control and ownership of everything and everybody on earth. Putins just telling people what they want to hear, rather like Trump is doing, but hes in on the FRAUD to complete the takeover of the entire world, so I would tread very carefully in your support for him. I would agree with you on chemtrails being real, they are most definitely spraying something on us, and its not good considering almost everyone I know is on an inhaler now and is constantly fatigued and sick, and also real is them poisoning us (slow kill) with fluoride, immunizations, pharm drugs, GMO foods, and toxins in just about everything now, not to mention them attempting to kill our will and our mental health with all their fear- and trauma-based garbage they throw at us on a daily basis. Whats illusory the authority they claim its wholly a fraud, and also illusory is the notion that any world leader now is benevolent, and everything they say, 99% of it, is BS designed to distract and misdirect us. God save us all, and God bless you, dear. Glad to see AP is letting you get out some free speechI get moderated regularly I know, right? LOL Whats up with that? I was really frustrated when I got the ban, and I thought, oh no, not here, too! I was banned for life a long time ago from RT for posting similar thoughts and legal citations and they never let me back in. Im not sure why theyre letting me post after all here, but Im not complaining just happy to have a voice. Id remove my previous posts about the banning as theyre way off topic, but I think theyre a good indication of things to come, if not here, on other forums. Great post, Grace by Faith. Again, all very well said and from the heart. I also shared some details of Putins 1999 FSB false flags attacks (Moscow apartment buildings, if youre not familiar) with Pamela. Thanks so much for shining your light, a prayer answered. God bless you and kind regards. Blue579 All glory to Him! Thanks, blue, so very much, dear brother? or sister?. Youve a special place with me now, since its because of you that Im posting here you know that, dont you? Had you not copied and reposted my comment, I doubt theyd have let me back in. They could have just left me banned and no one would be the wiser! Im not familiar with that ff attack; Ill definitely check it out! Thanks again for everything. God bless you, too and most kind regards backatcha. Sister. And you, maybe brother? An honor to meet you. Here are some links you may want to check out. The first is an article on the Moscow false flag bombings. The second is an selfnews Post link from Rusticus on Russia and Technocracy. Third is an overview of the rapid development of the global electronic control grid (Mark of The Beast) from Waking Times.

Ill check those out, thanks! Terrific! I think youll appreciate Patrick Woods work. BTW, he collected some great interviews, accessible via the upper right hand side Technocracy News Hour On Air Technocracy.Studio. Hope to see ya around, Grace by Faith on yt. Thanks for all your postings!!! Very eye opening. Its hard to know which sites and articles are true or not, but Ive at least known for awhile that there have been very evil individuals running the world and that some very hard times are on the horizon for a lot of people. My pleasure, thanks for the encouragement (all glory to God!) The easiest way to discern truth from fiction is obviously to follow the money. The sordid quest for coin has been the downfall of many a good man, and tptb have counted on this fact. The other way is to follow history and realize its just been repeating itself, so the people responsible must all be party to ONE agenda. I followed this line of thinking, with the help of my faith (discernment is a huge factor for me), and discovered that whats been going on for centuries and centuries is down to one malevolent power who believes by Divine Right it owns everything, including us, which is a lie. We have divine rights as well, and no one man has the monopoly on it apart from in his own little, corrupt mind. We have rights afforded us by our Creator, that no man can touch, no matter how hard they try, and this is what tptb are trying so desperately to destroy what we think, and therefore, what we do. This power, which is only powerful due to earthly riches, has agents (actors, employers, followers) that have infiltrated every aspect of our lives: education (especially education, indoctrination of our children is paramount to their success), religion (all of them, so Ive rejected them all and only follow the Word of God and His Law which has been replaced by mans morally relative law where something is moral, just and legal in one place, but not in another), business (the simple act of incorporation where theyve turned something that is living and breathing, like us, into dead fictitious legal entities which have no rights, only privileges for which they must pay), finance (nuff said there), medicine, agriculture, and governments. This is going on all over the earth now, and its taken centuries to get where we are now. But fear not, because this earthly existence, as it is written, is not even close to being as important as our spiritual survival and thats precisely what theyre trying to keep us from attaining by deploying all these physical and psychological weapons on us. God bless~ Btw: my name is exactly what I have posted. It is not hon, so unless you want to be seen as one of those ethnocentric folks who believe their views are Gospel for all, and try and put others down by condescending terms, like the NWO coke head sexually and humanly deviant intelligencia, please refrain from what Ive heard from many religious-invested people in the bigot/self righteous dept. You know, the soft put-down. Perhaps we need to stay open, as Im sure there will be a lot of Halloween surprises. Pamela, in 1999 Putin orchestrated a series false attacks in Moscow, horrific large scale apartment bombings. Large complexes utterly destroyed, floors pancaked in the middle of the night when people were sleeping. In the final attempt, FSB agents were caught red handed by residents. Putin, in the process of transitioning from head of the FSB (KGB) to Prime Minister, tried to pass off the thwarted attack involving FSB agents as a drill but the local authorities confirmed the bombs were the real deal. In the wake of the apartment bombings, Russian civil liberties were eviscerated and new broad extremist laws were enacted. The false flags were also used as a pretext to bomb Chechens, destroying the city of Grozny in the manner of Fallujah. Concerned Russians trying to get to the bottom of the coverup, including family members of victims, bureaucrats, activists, and journalists were silenced, some dying in strange accidents. Thus, the entire event closely paralleled 9/11. Last year Russia used the extremist laws to prosecute Jehovah Witnesses for practicing an unauthorized religion, Hindu is fine, Islam is fine (despite the alleged Chechen attacks), but not JW? These same extremist laws are being used to silence ALL dissent, even peaceful mild dissent. Bloggers criticizing government policies and government corruption are being sentenced to labor camps and Siberia. Zero tolerance at a time when the Russian government has been promoting a resurgence in the popularity of Stalin. Last month the only gulag museum was converted into a pro WWII memorial. The horrors under Stalin are being systematically whitewashed. There is much more and I can provide links to coverage of the Moscow apartment bombing false flags. Finally, Russian scientists are aggressively pursuing research on the new precision genetic engineering technology, thus the GMO stance is a head fake. Blue, I read about the 9/11 type false flag bombings. The diversion tactics, blame and propaganda where innocent people are sacrificed, and rights curtailed which is such an attempt at control, like these governments are the parents, and we are the robots or children playing roles of slaves to serve the entitled rich. They have to institute birth control and population events because they are afraid humans will never get it, and be responsible for their procreating, as if disease or a shift or changing axis or other events dont depopulate. It is amazing that our world is still so primitive. Its like a bad domestic violence relationship that I saw repeatedly in Batterer Intervention groups I co-facilitated as a Social Worker. Then theres the leaders and cronies making money, buying houses and land and expensive cars, which are mainly pieces of metal with wheels, as if that is the purpose of life. When are people going to realize that true success has nothing to do with artificially taken power and money? Happiness is caring for yourself and others. Making a difference. Satisfaction in the creation of good, kindness and human comfort and growth. There are very few wise leaders in history it seems. Maybe we need to hope the old Bilderbergers and banking cartel die out if they are never going to contribute to good for all. The ruining of the environment with oil pipes and fracking doesnt show a lot of intelligence or respect for the planet and our precious resources, so who exactly is in charge? Maybe its time good women take over the reins for a while, and Im not talking Hillary, Merkel or Pelosi. Hero worship and false history has to stop, unless we have no respect for our children and the future. So, allowing men like Stalin to murder people as expendable animals, or Obama droning around the world and then rewarding them with statues and Peace prizes is just hideous. Its insane, like not having Hillary, Bill Clinton or Bill Cosby behind bars. How can we disrespect the truth, and ask people to pretend the Emperor has clothes? If there is a God, please let me find an island far from the madding crowd, the actresses supporting a criminal because they want a female in the White House, like those that enabled a disingenuous bi-racial man they call a black man. I guess its fashionable for a drop of black blood or a portion to make a person black. And if we relate to one part of ourselves, is it a good idea to represent the part of us that we hate or deny or minimize? Thank you for sharing your perspective, Pamela. As a social worker, you have a strong grounding in abuse patterns and understand the long relationship between the US govt and the American people has been predatory, illusory, and dysfunctional. The parasite psychopaths have to keep their prey content enough such there is there is little to no resistance against the continuous harvesting, the exploitation. TPTB are extremely adept at this, to the point where most people are in denial and easily rallied to different sides and to nationalistic frenzies (e.g. after 9/11). This is true for all of humanity, having the same hard wired frailties that are then exploited This would be no different than Putin directing horrific false flag attacks and then using them to kill more people, yet millions of Russians bought the terrorism narrative and rally around the flag. We know people by their deeds, the words of politicians = rhetoric. I honestly cannot understand how you could give Putin a pass for such a diabolical act as the bombings, used to enact extremist laws against peaceful critics and the example of JWs, who should have a right to their own views, whatever we may think from our spiritual perches. It gets worse via the slippery slope of new draconian Yarovaya laws passed this summer. You have faith in Putin despite this march towards totalitarian rule as he also promotes a resurgence of reverence for Stalin, recently closing the only gulag museum commemorating the tens of millions of dissidents murdered under Stalins iron fist rule? Behind the curtain Russian elites are deeply tied to the apex global oligarchy via central banking, UN Agendas, G20 agreements, technology transfers, including Hillarys State Dept directed transfer of classified technology to Skolkovo, Russias version of Silicon Valley, a PET PROJECT of Bill Gates, the Clintons, and the powerful Trilateral Commission. Do you wonder why that may be? If you are aware of the final global gulag endgame of totalitarian technocracy, then it all makes perfect sense. A collaboration to track and monitor every human being on the planet in real time. Better to have faith in ourselves to resist the digital slavery being rolled out for us, and Russia too, exact same playbook. The rest is geopolitical theater with a Putin as savior meme designed to sideline many awakening people who think they dont have to resist smart grid, a cashless society, or the threat of internet censorship as control shifts to ICANN the founding chairwoman of ICANN, Ester Dyson, being a CFR elite stooge and huge promoter of the Skolkovo project.connecting dots until a forest emerges from the trees. I hope you reconsider, Pamela. Russia participating in global geoengineering project (chemtrails). One of many examples on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9giu6ozw-uU I live in Russia Ive never seen chem-trails and I look for them when I travel Never saw them in St Petersburg,Moscow, Crimea or any other place. And the food is grown in small farms within miles of every market place. I didnt only rely on the dozens of videos I found on youtube, in a personal exchange with Dane Wigington (geoengineeringwatch.org), I asked him specifically about China/Asia and Russia. He confirmed that these regions are part of the geoengineering program from his contacts, documented evidence sent to him, plus the satellite photographs. The image from Sochi (Today Show) in the link demonstrates it does take place, how much compared to the rest of the world who knows, we arent being told. About a year and a half ago, the Putin admin formally asked the IPCC (UN organization) to OK the use of geoengineering. From a Guardian article reporting on the request, its clear there is still a technocracy mindset in Russia (not everyone, of course, just like any society) and that includes weather control, with govt experimentation going back to the 40s -50s, exactly paralleling Peter Kirbys timeline (selfnews Post) on the US govt history of geoengineering. Not arguing you should be seeing the tell tale signs, thats my research anyway. I know a lot of people living around the US, directly and indirectly, who say they never see them even though I know those general areas get sprayed maybe there are different patterns used in different areas. I live in Crimea and as an X pilot 20 yrs- i am always looking up so I just dont see them here and im on the sea and in country. This is a big place Russia have to admit the winters are much better than where Im from Alaska Its a shame the Pentagon has made Russia the big Monster just in order to steal Trillions from the taxpayers they were no threat after looking back in history and Im retired Nam Vet with friends here that also were in Nam diff. army , of course. Russia is freer than mainstream America in many ways. Thanks for the feedback, I remembered well a previous similar comment you made awhile back in a brief exchange we had. FWIW, I think there are good and bad people everywhere with most people wanting to do the right thing and live with at least a modicum of freedom and dignity. That being said, the apex elites at the top of the pyramid (including Russia too, imo) are hellbent on controlling all individuals under a global totalitarian technocratic control grid. I keep up a lot with major business and social developments in Russia, China, and the Middle East and Im witnessing very clear shifts and trends towards this system that is also preparing to overtake the west as well. No place left untouched, even relatively impoverished peasants living in desolate areas in Africa are getting the necessary basic infrastructure for the Mark of The Beast in the form of digital tracking and payments. On the surface, it seems innocuous, even seductive with the lure of high tech. Underneath it is highly destructive to human freedom. The tapping of few keys and dissent to any edicts locks that person out of society. Thats my warning, that this is coming to every part of the world. China is TPTBs large scale model for this dystopia epitomized by the Social Credit Score with similar algorithms being developed for all nations . The details are mostly hidden and not reported by alt media as most of it is controlled opposition. I greatly respect the Russian people, its this emerging system I am trying to shine a light on. All the best to you and yours. Well ,agreed in many of your posts but I only made to 2 yrs at Wisc. St and after Nam reclused to the bush and forgot totally about the outside world and my college vocabulary.. You write well and I see that the Russian people dont ask for much they are all country people who are satisfied with the simple things in life and of course this makes it very easy for their Gov. Putin is loved because he is looking after those easy going things Russians like and he is all Russian in their eyes. I like the guy because he speaks with common sense. I think he is sincere and understands the fact that the Russian orthodox church relies on him to help. Many Native Alaskans are Russian Orthodox and I have buried many a good friend with the help of the R O church. I have been sanctioned this week by our US Gov. I may have to leave soon . Spacibo Yes, and thank you too. (hope thats correct) American problems are made in the USA, no where else! Says the person who thinks there are no globalists or internationalists. Not apologizing for the psychopaths commandeering the US govt, Ive been nipping at their heels since 9/11, have taken verbal abuse in polite 9/11 activism venues, watching people come unglued when they see an AE scholarly poster on bldg 7. If you dont care to understand who and what the international banksters represent and the techno global gulag they are building, then thats your prerogative but its a lack of penetration into the deep state and its historical underpinnings. We cant solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. Albert Einstein Another winner, blue~ Well said. Some are developmentally stuck in their idol worship, where facts are meaningless. Like Pamela in her Putin worship. But its not her fault unless shes a shill, shes only clinging onto the only thread of hope that appears (illusion) to be left, not realizing letting that final thread go is the first step needed to realize and accept these cognitive dissonant truths. Its kind of like the Stockholm Syndrome we feel with our bankster thieving owners we hope against hope they dont collapse the entire system, not acknowledging, when deep down we know it, that theyre the ones causing the collapse in the first place. You can stand corrected about worship of anyone. I dont think Putin has shown all his cards yet, but I have faith in him as a human being. People wake up and make changes, despite how gritty their past in arriving where they are. That line in the sand is an act, because he knows WW3 must be started, thats the plan, and hes only following orders. Russia would be gone if they had even ONE leader who didnt go along with the program. It is sad youre still naive, but no fault, hon, youve been programmed to have hope rather than question everyone and believe nothing from those who are in power. God bless you dear. Well, the current politicians may be competing for an Academy Award, and everything might be an act, but I am going to weigh in on good winning. It would be too miserable, otherwise. The power of collective intention is huge. People are waking up. I can see leaders who squirreled away wealth use it instead for the common man, along with religions tired of one more temple providing the poor with food and water. Mollie, Russian scientists are aggressively pursuing research using the new precision genetic engineering technology to create all manner of organisms, as is China. China was said to be against GMOs, then Chinas govt did a 180 on policy plus now ChemChina is purchasing Syngenta, Monsantos evil twin. The GE issue can spin on a dime. In contrast, Russias central bank is directly tied to the Rothschild owned Bank of International Settlements, the big granddaddy central bank providing the foundation of central banks for virtually all nations including the new BRIC banking organization. As for Gates, he is backing (along with many top tier western elites from the Trilateral Commission, including the Clintons) the construction of Skolkovo, Russias version of Silicon Valley, officially a UN Sustainable City. This is important because TPTB are creating a global totalitarian technocracy, 24/7 tracking and monitoring of every person (Mark of The Beast for modern times). BTW, explains why the governments in China and Russia are promoting a resurgence of Mao and Stalin, respectively extreme totalitarianism. Agenda 21, Technocracy, And The New World Order In The Russian Federation http://www.activistpost.com/2015/10/agenda-21-technocracy-and-the-new-world-order-in-the-russian-federation.html Another link if you want the back ground on the Moscow 1999 false flag attacks. http://reprints.longform.org/putin-conspiracy-banned-story-anderson Thanks! Ive never read the story behind Litvinenkos poisoning, and Putin definitely has a history, but I didnt know it included this. I dont want to whitewash him or his KGB record by any means, but I dont have a reason to believe he has the anti-human or anti-life intent were currently facing. Hes definitely participating in the creation of the global gulag, the new world order whatever term. If you happened to glance at a comment I made to Pamela (above) about Putin directing the FSB Moscow false flags, youll recognize a pattern that parallels 9/11 where the false flag is used to eviscerate civil liberties (like the Patriot Act) and as a pretext for bombing cities (Russia utterly destroyed Grozny just as the US destroyed Fallujah). And now Russian extremist laws enacted in 1999 for terrorism are being used against peaceful dissenters and ordinary critics of government corruption (critics like us). One person was sent to a labor camp for two years for liking or sharing on social media an image of a tube of toothpaste with the caption Squeeze Russia out of yourself the point being the extremist laws are being used on people who are not calling for violence or engaging in violence, but for thought criminals. We see the same thing slowly creeping in to the west. We need a big consciousness shift, soon! The Pentagon and its psychopathic buddies have made Trillions by keeping Russia the Monster enemy and this wont change until the American people are eating dog food after the collapse. 
2	This State Just Told Shariah Law To Sit Down And Shut Up, Because THIS IS AMERICA According to recent reports, South Carolina is the most recent of seven states to pass a bill permanently banning Shariah Law from their courts and legal system. The legislation was sponsored by Rep. Chip Limehouse, and not surprisingly, it has been met with immense conflict. The law bars any form of foreign law from usurping state law, and passed this week 68 to 42. For the most part, the legislation is symbolicsending a message loud and clear that extremist law will not be tolerated in the state. But it does offer very real protection as well, preserving the American way of life in the state. Shariah Law has been used as a defense in American courtrooms, Limehouse commented. We are working towards making that defense not an option for radical extremists from any countryShariah Law cannot and will not be used as a legal defense in the state of South Carolina. The bill passed early, so it has a good chance of passing in the Senate when it gets there. It just needs to make its way through Governor Nikki Haley, who may choose to veto the legislation. As one source puts it, Shariah law must not be allowed to get its tentacles wrapped around our legal system. It is up to the states to stop it. Seven states is a good start. I hope the rest follow suit. Do you think more states should pass this type of legislation? 
2	Their School Wanted To Ban The American Flag, So These Patriotic Students Did THIS To Fight Back According to recent reports, a group of high school students in Jonesboro, Georgia are taking a stand against a new rule banning the display of the American flag on school grounds. In protest, a group of students placed the American flag on their vehicles and drove around campus. The action was the result of a student posting the following to their Facebook page: I find it disturbing that when my mom picks me up from school in my truck flying an American flag, a staff member comes outside and tells me that we are not allowed to fly it in the schools (sic) parking lot. Friends of that student decided to take place in the peaceful protest. Its not right, student LaChristopher Hebert commented. This is what we love for. This is what our soldiers are fighting for. The school district released a half-hearted statement in response. The administration at Mt. Zion High School had to address an issue on Tuesday morning involving students driving around in the parking lot before school is a disruptive manner, playing loud music and displaying the American flag as well as the Confederate flag on the back of their vehicles, the statement read. Of course, the statement filed to mention what led to the peaceful protest in the first place. What do you think? Do you support these students?

2	BREAKING: Huge Ruling On 2nd Amendment Just Passed According to recent reports, a 3 judge panel has just held 2-1 that the right to purchase and sell firearms is part and parcel of the historically recognized right to keep and bear arms. The ruling strikes down an ordinance in Alameda County, CA, which aimed to prohibit gun stores from being located within 500 feet of a residential zone. The lawsuit was brought forward by the Second Amendment Foundation, along with the California Association of Federal Firearms Licensees, and the Calguns Foundation, Inc. This is an important decision, said SAF founder and CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. It remands the case back to the lower court for further proceedings consistent with the ruling as it pertains to the Second Amendment. The district court must now review the case under heightened scrutiny. Previously, cases like this one often received a rational basis review. This case is different, given that the right to bear arms in a fundamental right. What do you think will happen in this case? 
1	In a move that has outraged many fans who consider the vines a treasured part of Wrigley Fields charm and unique character, the Chicago Cubs announced Friday that they would be removing the stadiums iconic ivy from its urinal troughs. Urinating on the famed ivy has been a cherished, time-honored tradition throughout Wrigleys 100-year history, but we must adapt to changing times, said team spokesman Julian Green, explaining that a much-needed overhaul of the stadiums outdated bathroom facilities, which have long ranked last in the Major Leagues, necessitates the dismantling of the vines. We're aiming to provide a top-quality restroom for our fans, and the unfortunate reality is that maintaining and manicuring the ivy, a process which most people dont realize takes place before nearly every home game, comes at an enormous cost to the organization. While we will certainly miss the sight of the wet leaves glimmering in the light, we believe this is the right move for the team and our fans. Green added that after the removal process, the Cubs will raffle off the used ivy-covered urinal cakes from the 2014 season in an effort to raise proceeds for the local Chicago Boys and Girls Club. 
1	At a press conference Wednesday, the Chicago Cubs and their absence from the World Series announced an agreement to a four-year contract extension, with an option for another six years. 'The relationship between the Cubs and their absence from the World Series is strong, as both sides have shown loyalty to each other for the past 63 years,' Cubs chairman Crane Kenney said. 'It's something the fans have come to expect. Why, I remember sitting around the fire as a boy, talking with my grandfather about how the Cubs would never make it to another World Series. I only hope my children and their children and their children's children have the same opportunity.' Despite rumors, absence from the World Series would not admit to holding closed-door talks with the Mets. 
3	14-year-old put in chokehold by police, charged with felony after giving police dehumanizing staresMadison Ruppert A 14-year-old was reportedly choked by Miami-Dade police and charged with a felony count of resisting arrest with violence and disorderly conduct, all for giving police dehumanizing stares, clenching his fists and appearing threatening. Unfortunately, its not all that rare for teens to be brutalized or even killed by police in the United States. There also seems to be something about police in Florida being especially violent for no apparent reason as they were when they beat a 66-year-old and when they murdered Nick Christie. The incident occurred on Haulover Beach in Miami, Florida on Memorial Day morning after police said they saw Tremaine McMillian slamming another teenager on the sand. They told him that behavior was unacceptable, Miami-Dade Police Detective Alvaro Zabaleta said to CBS Miami. He walked away and officers followed him. They asked where his parents were. He said he was not going to take them to them. When he started to leave the beach area, officers had to get off their ATVs to detain him, Zabaleta continued. He had closed arms, clenched fists and pulled his arm away. Once he was approaching the road, the officers restrained him. Again his body language was that he was stiffening up and pulling away, Zabaleta said. Now youre resisting officers at that point and when the hands are swinging and you are resisting officers, at that point you have to be taken into custody. McMillian and his family strongly disagree. I ran over with my son and used my cell phone when I saw my son and he couldnt breathe, said Maurissa Holmes, McMillians mother. There was no reason to slam him on the ground like that the way they did. Hes a child, not an adult. For them to jump off their ATV and do this, this is wrong. I want justice. You dont do that to a child. The video report by CBS Miami is embedded below. McMillian was also reportedly holding a 6-week old puppy who was pried out of his arms before being taken to the ground by police. He got in front of me on the ATV and he slammed my hand. Then he started choking me, McMillian said to CBS Miami. Then my 6-week old Pit Bull mix named Polo got hurt and bruised his front paw when the police grabbed me and slammed me down. At that point we are not concerned with a puppy, Zabaleta said, adding that the police report did not indicate that a puppy was involved in the encounter. We are concerned with the threat to the officer. That police report was not accurate, McMillians mother said. How could I be clenching my fists when I was taking care of my puppy and giving him some milk with a bottle? McMillian said. Miami-Dade police said that McMillian had been arrested once before for robbery, but CBS Miami does not report if he was convicted. McMillians Assistant Public Defender entered a plea of not guilty at the Juvenile Justice Center and asked for the state to reconsider the charges against McMillian. Judge Maria DeJesus Santoveria refused to reconsider the charges and set McMillians trial for 9 am on July 16.

1	Despite spending as many as 80 hours a week at the office, local father Michael Henderson told reporters Thursday that, given his sons lack of ambition and general mediocrity, he has only missed one or two accomplishments in the unimpressive childs life. Sure, Ive been working pretty much nonstop for the past 18 years, but the only major achievements I wasnt there for were Spencers high school graduation and one theater performancebut he only helped paint the sets for that; its not like he was even on stage, said Henderson, adding that he had no qualms about not being around to see his son frequently sitting around on the couch watching television. I went on a lot of business trips, and worked late nights and on weekends and holidays, but it never really prevented me from witnessing any special moments, as Spencer dropped out of Cub Scouts pretty early, quit the track team after one meet, and never made the honor roll or received a single award. I realize that I havent always been there for him, but he hasnt exactly given me much to regret either. At press time, Henderson told reporters that although his job continues to require long workdays and offers few opportunities for vacations, he doubts he will miss any significant accomplishments in the next 18 years of his sons life. 
3	Radiation From Manhattan Project Causing Cancer Clusters In US CityBy John Vibes Although the program is over it has left a nasty mess behind at the various test sites, as well as sites that were used to harvest and process uranium. it was admitted by The US Army Corps of Engineers last month that residential areas of St. Louis County in Missouri have been contaminated with radiation from the Manhattan Project. When the Manhattan Project experiments were being carried out, the only uranium plant in the country was located in St. Louis, and the activities there ended up contaminating Coldwater Creek. Over the years, residents that lived along the creek discovered that they were more prone to cancer because of where they lived. After enough families began to complain, tests were done on the area and large doses of radiation were detected all along the creek. We did personally notify those property owners of the contamination, and were initiating the remedial documents so that we can get out there and do the remediation in the near future, but we do want to complete what were doing here at St. Cin Park first, Mike Petersen of the Army Corps said. Despite these findings, local state, and federal government agencies continue to insist that the levels are not dangerous for humans. Theres no increased risk to the public while we remediate. We have air monitoring, water monitoring, were making sure that as we do this work, its safe to the public and doesnt create any additional risk, Petersen said. It is likely that other areas throughout the county are contaminated, and since many of these programs were top secret, it is hard to know where all of them would even be.

1	When faced with any kind of vexing decision or problem, 29-year-old Christine Lim prefers to weigh all her options by getting the exact same advice from as many people who already agree with her as possible, the area woman told reporters Monday. 'If I meet a great guy who's really sweet but still getting over a bitter divorce, I just feel better knowing that 20 to 30 of my friends are in lockstep with my predetermined opinion that I should look past it and date him anyway,' said Lim, who has also sought out a wide range of identical opinions on recipes, birthday gifts for her mom, and whether or not one of her shoulders is slightly higher than the other. 'Calling on those close to me to endlessly reconfirm my worldview makes coming to conclusions that much easier.' Lim added that on the occasions when she does encounter someone with a conflicting take, she is quickly reassured by her real friends that Laura is a total bitch. 
2	Man Goes To Jail For Saying THIS About Islam According to recent reports, free speech advocate Eric Brazau of Toronto, Canada made quite a statement after being sentenced to 18 months in jail for claiming that Islam is evil. Brazau has reportedly be testing free speech limits in Canada for a while, especially with his controversial campaign to denounce Islam. Still, he has never once taken a violent action or advocated for violence against Muslims. Despite this fact, he was arrested and charged with a hate crime, and was even denied bail. What do you think of the incident? Is this a violation of his rights? 
2	Minnesota Governor Tells Residents To Leave The State If They Dont Like The Massive Influx Of Muslim Refugees Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton caused outraged when he told residents that he does not have a problem with Syrian refugees being placed in his state. According to Dayton, hes been assured by the White House that refugees will have gone through high-level security checks. Its no surprise that residents would object to the idea, given that these security procedures have repeatedly failed throughout the world. As if that werent enough, Dayton went on to tell any residents who object to his policies to move. Look around you. This is Minnesota, Dayton said at a recent NAACP meeting in St. Cloud. Minnesota is not like it was 30, 50 years ago. This is Minnesota and you have every right to be here. And anybody who cannot accept your right to be here, and this is Minnesota, should find another state. If you are that intolerant, he continued. If you are that much of a racist or a bigot, then find another state. Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

Bow Bergdahl was a deserter. Still, he chose to make the controversial trade in exchange for terrorists behind the backs of Congress. Now, Sarah Palin is speaking out against President Obama. You have no guys! Palin wrote on her Facebook account. You hold the proverbial hand of a traitor, but dont have the courage to do the same for deserving souls who consistently give their all to protect Americans. You boasted that your exchange of an obvious traitor for a group of known terrorist hell bent on Americas destruction is because we leave no man behind, Palin argued. You lie! Ive never been more ashamed of a presidents action than this arrogant, destructive exchange of another stone in the foundation of freedomfor evil men who hate our freedom, she concluded. This makes me sick. What do you think? Do you agree with Palins comments? Is Obama an embarrassing leader? 
1	WASHINGTON, DCPresident Bush signed an ambitious Social Security plan into law Monday that will allow citizens to bet a third of their payroll taxes on their favorite sports teams. Three sports fans hope to win big benefits before their retirement next year. 'It's time we gave the American people the chance to make some real money for retirement,' Bush said, speaking from the new Office of Social Security and Pari-mutuel Wagering Building. 'Some naysayers think the average citizen doesn't know how to handle his own money. When spring training starts next year, it's up to you to prove them wrong.' 'It's your money,' Bush added. 'You earned it. You should be able to bet it on whatever team you want.' Under the new plan, participating citizens will be asked to list their favorite teams on their W-2 forms. At the start of each major sports season, program participants will visit their local Social Security booking offices to review point spreads and sample playoff trees. Citizens' team selections will be subject to approval by their employers, who contribute a percentage of wages to the employee Social Security Earned Benefits Fund, or 'pot,' under the new system. 'For too long, Social Security has been managed by an elite group of government accountants and economists,' said U.S. Sen. Paul Ryan (R-WI), a longtime advocate of Social Security reform and athletics-based gambling. 'Why let your retirement money sit around in an account when you could double or triple it in a single year? Under the new plan, anyone with access to a sports page can control his financial destiny.' Added Ryan: 'Assuming, of course, that Favre keeps a lid on those turnovers next season.' Many in Congress praised the bipartisan Social Security Athletic Wagering Commission for 'developing a system with favorable odds' for America's taxpayers. 'The risk is greater, but so are the potential payouts,' said commission member U.S. Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), who has long argued that sporting organizations have higher standards of oversight, accountability, and strategic transparency than the federal government. 'Why, a Boston-area resident who placed 2 percent of his lifetime earnings on the Patriots or the Red Sox this year would have tens of thousands of dollars in his retirement fund. That's a lot of squeeze, even after taxes.' A Lawrence, KS resident forms an investment strategy. Reid refused to comment on the potential financial losses of a Brooklyn mother of three who bet the Mets, Knicks, Jets, or Giants during the past 10 years. 'Not everyone likes pouring money into a long-term account month after month, motivated only by the promise of a solid future,' newly appointed Social Security and Pari-mutuel Wagering chief Demitri 'The Greek' Kannapolis said. 'Now, citizens will be able to see their Social Security system working every time they flip through the sports pages. It'll make the games more fun, too, because there'll be more riding on them.' Several members of Congress have criticized the plan. 'While we do need to restructure our Social Security system, this isn't the way to do it,' U.S. Rep. Bob Matsui (D-CA) said. 'Statistics show that certain groups of peoplewomen below the poverty line, for exampledon't care about sports. I support an addition to the plan that will allow citizens who don't follow professional athletics to put a portion of their SSI payout into lottery tickets.' 'Everyone deserves a chance at realizing the American dream, whether they like to follow the Rams or the PowerBall picks,' Matsui added. U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) dismissed critics who contend that the plan will cause a $2 trillion shortfall in the current funds being paid out to seniors. 'People can nitpick all they want, but there's a lot of money to be made if you take the time to do a little research,' Santorum said. 'Just look at this football season. With the Steelers leading the AFC North and the Eagles leading the NFC East, people in my state might have benefited handsomely from an opportunity like this.' Added Santorum: 'Sure, we're risking a couple trillion, but I got a feeling people are gonna double that money when baseball season comes around, no problem.' 
3	The Truth About Red Tides Manmade Causes and Health EffectsSayer Ji, Contributor The reality is that authorities who deny the involvement of land-based activities and algae blooms are conveniently ignoring the science, which is peer reviewed and published, that instructs us on what is feeding red tide near shore. Florida has only so many industries that sustain its fragile economy, many of which would have to enact substantial and costly reforms in order to improve the environmental situation. The tourism and real estate industries also have a vested interest in minimizing and/or denying the extent of the problem, at least in the short term. The long-term outlook, however, is dismal for these industries, who, failing to act, would see the primary attractor for tourists or potential buyers of real estate the Gulf of Mexico transformed into a Petri dish. It is for this reason that the truth about red tide must gain a wider audience, and we hope, widespread acceptance. Since late September last year, the Southwest Florida Gulf Coast has been under siege by laboratory-verified blooms [see Status Maps], growing to its present state of significant outbreaks of a million cells per liter or higher, and stretching all the way from Manatee County to the Florida Keys. This is one of the worst red tide outbreaks in recorded history.[i] These figures, however, are quite misleading. Using colloquial expressions such as Very Low to describe concentrations of Karenia brevis of 1,000 to 10,000 cells per liter does the public a disservice, as they are serious enough to lead to acute symptoms of respiratory irritation and shellfish harvesting closures. So-called Low levels, or 10,000 to 100,000 cells per liter, can cause fish kills. Once you get to Medium and High red tide represents a serious health threat to exposed populations, keeping in mind that one does not have to be at the beach to be affected, as red tide brevetoxins are aerosolized (made airborne) via wave action, and can be carried on the wind many miles inshore. In fact, at so-called Low levels (more than) 50,000 cells/liter the saturation of Karenia brevis is already significant enough that it can be detected by satellite. At present, levels along the affected Southwest Florida Gulf Coast have reached High in several areas, including off the coast of Lee County where I am presently reporting from. I can speak directly from experience that this is a particularly noxious outbreak. For instance, I had a bronchial asthma attack for the first time in 20 years and have found myself, my family, and the local community I serve to be at greatly increased susceptibility to prolonged cold and flu bouts, over the past five months. Another important consideration is that red tide sampling occurs primarily in surface water (80% surface sampling; 20% bottom sampling). The problem is that Karenia brevis blooms have been found to penetrate coastal waters along the bottom without surface expression until nearshore. This means that negative surface findings do not necessarily indicate the absence of a problem. So, What Is The Real Cause of Prolonged, Near-To-Shore Red Tide Outbreaks? So, back to the question: Are these outbreaks entirely natural phenomena, as many health authorities, and certainly folks within the mainstream media, tourist and real estate industry, often maintain? The answer is a resolute and resounding NO. In April, 2009, the journal Aquatic Microbial Ecology published a groundbreaking study titled, Grazing by Karenia brevis on Synechococcus enhances its growth rate and may help to sustain blooms, which provided the missing link in how red tide is directly fed by human, land-based activities. Here is the study abstract: ABSTRACT: Grazing rates of Karenia brevis Clones CCMP2228 and CCMP2229 were determined in laboratory experiments using Synechococcus sp. Clone CCMP1768 as food. Grazing by K. brevis thus enhances the range of nutritional substrates available to meet its growth requirements, and may play a substantial role in sustaining natural populations in inorganic N-poor waters. With evidence that blooms of Synechococcus can be enhanced due to anthropogenic nutrients, the potential importance of this particulate nutrient source for sustaining red tide blooms in situ is large and may help to resolve the current uncertainty as to how K. brevis blooms are maintained. It can now be hypothesized that as cyanobacterial blooms increase, so too does the potential for Karenia brevis growth to be enhanced and for blooms to be sustained through grazing, especially under the low light conditions associated with bloom self-shading. Recognition of this pathway is at least one step toward reconciling the long-term reported increase in K. brevis blooms (e.g. Brand Compton 2007) and the tendency for blooms of this species to develop offshore in seemingly oligotrophic waters (e.g. Vargo et al. 2004, 2008) What this research essentially proves is that the runoff from land-based applications of urea nitrogen fertilizers such as commonly used in lawn care, as well as additional sources of nitrogen urea from septic tanks, sewage spills and close-to-water sewage treatment effluent, result in Synachoccus blooms, which is a harmless, green slime algae (have you noticed the green slime at your beach?). Karenia brevis (red tide) uses the green slime as an energy source. The more Synachoccus the more red tide; simple cause and effect. At the root of the problem are nitrogen urea fertilizers, which are overused in Florida lawn care practices, as well as in Florida agriculture (more on this later). According to a Sierra Club report linking fertilizers to red tide blooms, residential fertilizer use in the state of Florida increased by 153,533.95 tons or 45% from 2003 to 2006 alone.[ii] One might ask the question to Floridians: is the health of your lawns (read: aesthetic appearance) more important than the health of the Gulf of Mexico (and by implication, your own health)? Ironically, plants need primarily magnesium (for chlorophyll) and potassium, and not nearly as much nitrogen, which is presently being used at up to 5 times higher levels than required. In fact, excess nitrogen leads to plasmolysis in plants, causing excess water to leave the plant entering the soil, resulting in wilting. The excess nitrogen, of course, leaches into the soil and eventually a portion of its causes water pollution. The obvious solution to the accelerating red tide problem is to reduce land-based applications of urea nitrogen, especially in the summer months. As the green slime is reduced, the red tide will have no additional energy source and will die out. How Red Tide Adversely Affects Human Health In order to understand how red tide affects human health, one must first understand brevetoxins, the primary poisons produced by this organism. There are at least 9, and as many as 14, brevetoxins divided into two classes: Brevetoxin A and Brevetoxin B, with 3 subtypes characterized among Brevetoxin A and 4 subtypes among Brevetoxin B. Brevetoxins are extremely toxic. The brevetoxin B subtype, PB-TX2, for instance, has an oral LD50 (the acutely lethal dose that kills 50% of the test group) equivalent to cyanide (6 mg/kg) at 6.6 mg/kg in the 24 mouse model of acute exposure. No one truly knows the extent of the synergistic toxicity associated with exposure to all 9-14 brevetoxins simultaneously, which is what may occur in real-world exposure, because it has not (to my knowledge) been researched. Brevetoxins are known primarily as a neurotoxic. They bind to voltage-gated sodium channels in nerve cells, leading to disruption of nerve transmission and in some cases nerve cell death. Animal research indicates that as little as 2 days of subacute exposure to the Brevetoxin B, PbTx-3, is sufficient to induce neuronal degeneration in a discrete reason of the mouse cerebral cortex.[iii] In humans, a condition known as Neurotoxic Shellfish Poisoning (NSP) caused by the consumption of shellfish contaminated by brevetoxins has been identified. Symptoms include vomiting and nausea and a variety of neurological symptoms such as slurred speech.[iv] Of course, lower concentrations, especially in more susceptible populations already suffering from neurological issues, likely contribute to these symptoms, as well as headache, myalgias (muscle soreness), and related aches and pains that would be hard to attribute to such an invisible toxin, whose health threat is generally downplayed by the media and medical establishment. Neurotoxicity, however, is only the tip of the iceberg. A 2004 study, published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, found that the immune system, and not the nervous system, is the primary target of brevetoxins.[v] Animals exposed to brevetoxin saw a more than 70% suppression of humoral immunity. A 2005 study confirmed this finding.[vi] Then, in 2011, it was found that brevetoxin A inhalation worsens the pulmonary response to influenza A in the male rat. [vii] The study authors concluded: These results suggest that repeated inhalation exposure to brevetoxin may delay virus particle clearance and recovery from influenza A infection in the rat lung. This finding indicates that red tide blooms may therefore worsen the seasonal flu epidemics that commonly afflict the Southwest Florida, especially when the bloom persists into the fall and winter months, as is the present case. It is already well known that hospital verified cases of respiratory issues can increase by over 50% during sustained red tide outbreaks.[viii] Considering that much of the mortality associated with influenza infection is associated with pneumonia complications, reducing red tide outbreaks via fertilizer use reductions should be considered a top priority by health authorities. But the adverse health effects do not end with neurotoxicity and immunotoxicity, as serious gastrointestinal complaints may also follow from red tide exposure. A 2010 study examined whether the presence of a Florida red tide bloom affected the rates of admission for a gastrointestinal diagnosis to a hospital emergency room in Sarasota, FL.[ix] According to the study: The rates of gastrointestinal diagnoses admissions were compared for a 3-month time period in 2001 when Florida red tide bloom was present onshore to the same 3-month period in 2002 when no Florida red tide bloom occurred. A significant 40% increase in the total number of gastrointestinal emergency room admissions for the Florida red tide bloom period was found compared to the non red tide period. We can therefore add gastrointestinal issues to the growing list of red tide associated health issues. Other potential health effects that have been noted in the biomedical literature include: So What Can Be Done? 1) REDUCE EXPOSURE: First, if you live in South Florida, remember to monitor your areas levels by visiting the Status Maps. Please keep in mind that proximity is not the only factor in exposure, due to the well-known aerosolization of these toxins and the inability of surface water testing to fully reveal its presence. Next, visit the site WindMaps.com, to see if the winds are moving inshore, or going offshore. This simple step may enable you to reduce exposure, by reducing time outside, and certainly keeping off the beach, on days that aerosolized red tide brevetoxins may be moving inshore. Also, consider that if you are driving, keep the air circulating within the cabin. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do if your AC unit is continually pulling air from outside inside your home, but you could reduce your AC usage on these days. Eating cooling foods, and wear lighter clothing, for instance. 2) REDUCE TOXIC EFFECTS: The primary mechanism through which brevetoxins cause respiratory harm is through IgE-independent mast cell activation.[x] Mast cells are immune cells which if over-activated can produce a wide range of potentially harmful substances, such as: Keeping this in mind, preventing mast-cell degranulation with safe, non-drug alternatives such as nettles extract may be an ideal approach to the problem. Several companies provide extracts which concentrate the compounds within nettles that inhibit mast cell degranulation, e.g. New Chapters Histamine Take Care, V!ahs Allerblock. While we do not endorse any product, as this runs counter to our mission statement (you will see no ads on GreenMedInfo.com for any dietary supplement) we feel compelled to inform our readers that alternatives to antihistamine drugs like Benadryl do exist. Also, please remember to do your own research in tandem with consulting a licensed health care practitioner before embarking on a path of self-care. Other potential histamine-blocking compounds that have been researched can be found on our histamine antagonist page: Histamine Antagonist. 3) CONTRIBUTE TO THE LONG-TERM SOLUTION: The long-term solution is to reduce the use of nitrogen urea fertilizers in both lawn and agricultural applications. There is no question that nitrogen urea rich agricultural runoff, primarily from the sugarcane and citrus industries, are sizable contributors to the overall nitrogen burden in the Gulf of Mexico. Much of Big Sugars agricultural runoff ends up in Lake Okeechobee, which eventually empties into the Gulf of Mexico. A 2006 study published in the journal Biogeochemistry titled, Escalating worldwide use of urea a global change contributing to coastal eutrophication, indicates worldwide use of urea as a nitrogen fertilizer and feed additive has increased more than 100-fold in the past 4 decades. The study pointed out: Long thought to be retained in soils, new data are suggestive of signicant overland transport of urea to sensitive coastal waters. Urea concentrations in coastal and estuarine waters can be substantially elevated and can represent a large fraction of the total dissolved organic nitrogen pool. Urea is used as a nitrogen substrate by many coastal phytoplankton and is increasingly found to be important in the nitrogenous nutrition of some harmful algal bloom (HAB) species. They also noted that the global increase from 1970 to 2000 in documented incidences of paralytic shellsh poisoning, caused by several HAB species, is similar to the global increase in urea use over the same 3 decades. The reality is that these agricultural practices have been a long time in the making, and will take considerable time, energy and political clout to change. The good news is that you can make changes at the local level, from the bottom up, as it were, by starting with your own lawn. You can also organize at a county level to enact ordinances that restrict fertilizer use, as Ed Rosenthal, founder of the non-profit organization Advocate the Precautionary Principle, has done with great success in Sarasota county. These results are encouraging, and indicate that we can build a grassroots movement with an end goal to enact stricter regulations at the state level.

1	Tragedy struck this peaceful, educational New York neighborhood Saturday when a horrible, scary monster dismembered and devoured television star Grover, despite the Muppet's continuous urging to beginning reader Brian Wilcox, 6, 'not to turn the page.' 'Apparently, this warped, sadistic child was intent on seeing Grover attacked and killed,' said Police Sgt. William Rudin at the crime scene. 'Nothing else could explain his repeated insistence on ignoring lovable, furry old Grover's frantic and explicit warnings on virtually every page.' Witnesses say that as Grover was viciously savaged and eaten by the monster on the last page, he used his final words to denounce Wilcox for his cruelty. The NYPD has ruled out the possibility that Wilcox was aided by an accomplice, telling reporters, 'Brian read this book all by himself.' 
3	An Effective Substitute for War: The United Nations Agenda 21Susan Boskey It may be, for instance, that gross pollution of the environment can eventually replace the possibility of mass destruction by nuclear weapons as the principal apparent threat to the survival of the species. Poisoning of the air, and of the principal sources of food and water supply, is already well advanced, and at first glance would seem promising in this respect; it constitutes a threat that can be dealt with only through social organization and political power. But from present indications it will be a generation to a generation and a half before environmental pollution, however severe, will be sufficiently menacing on a global scale, to offer a possible basis for a solution. The Report from Iron Mountain, Leonard Lewin, 1967 Environmentalism as a basis for a solution, and rallying point for the people has indeed arrived. The U.S. Government takes pride as a champion of the environment yet things are not as they appear. To the chagrin of those who stand for everything green, environmentalism is the sugar making it easier for the masses to swallow the advancement of global governance. The story begins in 1968 with the founding of the Club of Rome at David Rockefellers estate in Bellagio, Italy. As an international non-governmental organization (NGO) think tank and consultant to the United Nations, the Club of Rome claims on its website to be a group of world citizens, sharing a common concern for the future of humanity. In keeping with their concerns, the organization recommended that the United Nations host the June 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (aka Earth Summit) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself. The First Global Revolution, Alexander King, Co-Founder of the Club of Rome, 1991 By executive order, in 1993, President Bill Clinton created and set up the Presidents Council on Sustainable Development to translate UN Agenda 21 into public policy administered by the federal government. The Councils sixteen-point document, Sustainable America, affirmed the commitment to develop and implement the Agendas environmental policies in the United States. Its three strategies, environment, economy, and social equity are represented by three interconnecting circles. Governments . . . should adopt a national strategy for sustainable development Agenda 21, Section 8.7 ICLEI, also know as Local Governments for Sustainability, is the UN accredited Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) headquartered in Bonn, Germany charged with the local implementation of Agenda 21s action plan in over 1,220 communities worldwide. Our campaigns, programs, and projects promote Local Agenda 21 as a participatory, long-term, strategic planning process that addresses local sustainability while protecting global common good. ICLEI Sounds good on the surface, but upon closer scrutiny, Agenda 21 is the implementation plan of global governance from the local level on up. Since that day in Rio in 1992, the Agendas more sinister implications have come to light. Soft law of the original non-binding document had no legal teeth. However, as ICLEI infiltrates local communities, Agenda 21s true colors shine through as hard regulations with associated penalties. The phrase sustainable development gave Agenda 21 a positive public image but in the end, it only panders to and soothes the people with a marketing sound bite while nefarious new infrastructures are seamlessly put in place. Federalists in 1787 used the same sort of strategy when they distributed Federalist Papers to assure the public that all power of government was in the people; meaning a new constitution would in no way change the hard-won liberties gained by the American Revolution. UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development is the action plan to inventory and control all land, all water, all minerals, all plants, all animals, all construction, all means of production, all information, all energy, and all human beings in the world. Behind the Green Mask, Rosa Koire, 2011 An advisor to President Clinton on his Council on Sustainable Development, Gary Lawrence, realized what the Council was up against with the American people. He discredited those who would disagree with their Agenda 21 plan of implementation and invented new language to fool the segment of our society who fear one-world government and a UN invasion of the United States through which our individual freedom would be stripped awaySo we will call our process something else, such as comprehensive planning, growth management or smart growth. No matter what you call it, sustainable development, comprehensive planning, growth management or smart growth; it all boils down to the ideology of communitarianism. communitarianism: Political and social philosophy that emphasizes the importance of community in the functioning of political life, in the analysis and evaluation of political institutions, and in understanding human identity and well-being. It was developed in the 1980s and 1990s in explicit opposition to the theoretical liberalism of thinkers such as John Rawls. According to communitarians, liberalism relies on a conception of the individual that is unrealistically atomistic and abstract; it also places too much importance on individual values such as freedom and autonomy. Its chief representatives include Amitai Etzioni, Michael Sandel, and Charles Taylor. See also collectivism. Britannica Concise Encyclopedia. 1995-2008 Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc. (emphasis added) Communitarianism promotes the exact opposite philosophy upon which America was founded. Private property was originally equated with wealth and the lawful rights of the individual protected by government. Though property ownership is still equated with wealth, Agenda 21 now turns the founding concept of private property on its head. As early as 1976, the American Planning Association referred to property-owner groups against government taking property without compensation (the legal theft of eminent domain) as radical property rights organizations. Farmers, especially, find troublesome the growing number of restrictions on the use of their own farmlands. Private land ownership is a principal instrument of accumulating wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice. Public control of land use is therefore indispensable. Report of the U. N. Conference on Human Settlements, Vancouver, Canada, May 31-June 11 1976 The story told in The Report from Iron Mountain is completely validated by Agenda 21. Around the world, a neo-feudalistic communitarian system is gaining strength in both ideological acceptance and practical application. Techno-aristocratic authority of those who would play God to protect nature from unthinking, naughty humans is growing, not diminishing. The Agenda 21 goal of property fairness extends a cookie-cutter concept to communities worldwide, consolidating populations into green-belted sustainable urban developments, uniform grids offering greater ease in the management of people. Agenda 21 is poised to wipe out whatever might be left of the private property rights of individuals. Do not be deceived by the rhetoric. Sustainable development is underway where you live. An agenda of domination and control bleeds through the seemingly benign cover story in the land of the New Normal of natures rights. It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government.

2	TREASON: Obama Betrays American Soldier Who Was Killed By Terrorist According to recent reports, in a bid to empty out and close down Guantanamo Bay, President Obama has been releasing and transferring many of the terrorists being held there. In fact, he has been doing so with such frequency that the media hardly mentions it. But his latest release is sparking outrage. The most recent prisoner to be released from Gitmo and sent to Saudi Arabia was Mashur Abdallah Ahmed al Sabri, a Yemeni national who bears direct responsibility for the death of 17 U.S. sailors in October of 2000. He played a major role in the terrorist attack on the USS Cole off the coast of Yemen. To those who attacked them, we say: You will not find a safe harbor, Bill Clinton declared after the attack. We will find you and justice will prevail. Apparently, Obama does not support that same notion. Sabri has been released and two other men that are being held for the attack are facing significantly delayed trials. I just felt, for sure, you know, theyre not going to go ahead and just kiss off the lives of 17 U.S. sailors, the father of a victim of the attack commented. In fact, they didnt do anything. Sabri is being released despite his label as a high risk terrorist who is likely to pose a threat to the U.S., its interests, and allies. He has also been identified as a member of a Yemeni al-Qaida cell directly involved with the USS Cole attack. Now, this murderer has been released by our president to return to the world where he came from. He is significantly more likely to re-engage American and allied forces as a radical Islamic terrorist. What do you think? Do we need Hillary out of the White House ASAP? 
1	With its confidence fading, its fans dissatisfied, and without a notable success since the Stanley Cup finals, sports is officially suffering an agonizing slump. 'Whether it's a mental fatigue, a lack of emotional involvement, or simply its age beginning to keep up with it, sports simply hasn't been able to do anything whatsoever for quite. a while now,' said noted sports psychologist Dr. David Grand, who tracks sports' annual performance and says this may be the worst year for the recreational activity since it went professional in the early 20th century. 'Whatever the reason, sports has just been falling flat on its face for the better part of a year.' Although experts differ on the exact length of the slump thus far, with some saying that the Steelers' Super Bowl was the last real hit sports had while others go as far back as the Michael Vick dogfighting arrest for the slumps' beginning, most generally agree that there is no end in sight. 'Just look at the last month alone: Sosa and performance-enhancing drugs, a much-hyped Kobe/LeBron NBA finals that embarrassingly didn't pan out, hockey playoffs that no one cared about, Favre refuses to just go away, and NASCAR is fading,' said Grand. 'And sports used to be a five-tool distraction. Now it's striking out everywhere you look, and there seems to be no escape from its struggles. I mean, I'm trying to not even pay attention to boxing.' Even in its minor, more niche categoriesareas that once added flavor and dimension to its reputationsports is struggling. The cash-strapped WNBA recently signed a deal to allow sponsor logos on its game jerseys, IndyCar racing is adrift and having its least interesting season in years, and, some say most humiliating of all, professional wrestling continues to be relatively popular. 'Slumps are as mysterious as they are tough,' said Dale Gregory, Duke university's director of sports studies. 'The problem sports has now is not to become preoccupied and anxious, not to obsess about what went wrong with Chad Ochocinco, not to get worked up about how Pacman Jones won't go away, not to fixate on Yao Ming's injury. Sports just has to relax and do what it does best. Have a Yankees/Red Sox ALCS, maybe. People like that.' Others say sports has been relying too much on its standard formulas and is in a rut just as much as a slump. 'The unprecedented growth of its popularity in the early part of the decade made sports think it could do no wrong. Now, it doesn't know how to deal with the reality,' says sports analyst Meghan Carlton. 'We should have seen the warning signs back when sports drifted into self-destructive, risk-taking behavior like tournament poker and ultimate fighting. Sure, it's still involved with golf and tennis, but that doesn't mean it hasn't developed a dark side.' Those close to sports hope that the new NFL season will help sports snap out of whatever is holding it back, barring a highly unlikely spate of exciting late-summer baseball. Others are not certain that resuming its old routine is what sports needs, or would indeed be good for its long-term health. 'Frankly, sports is showing all the signs of being an overworked, overstressed field of human endeavor,' Grand says. 'Frankly, it's been doing double duty for years, probably since the collapse of religion. It should reaffirm itself, concentrate on its games, and stop trying to be all things to all people.

Jekyll Island argues the case that economic depressions are abnormal, that nations across the globe do not need national debt, and that governments are not printing too much money, but borrowing wildly. In the face of mounting debts and a reduction in the standards of living worldwide, he explains that those who are profiting from this crippling financial problem, want us, the public, to remain confused about what money really is and how it was created. However, Jekyll Islands good news is the claim that we can fix this global problem, without wars or a revolution; just a clear understanding of the problem and its surprisingly simple solution.

2	Jeff Foxworthy Gets Attacked By Liberals After Publicly SLAMMING Hillary Clinton Legendary comedian Jeff Foxworthy has made it abundantly clear that he is not happy with the direction our country in heading in. He is tired of watching Obamas agenda manifest, stripping Americans of our hard-won freedoms. If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for entering and remaining in the country illegallyyou might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots, he said as part of his comedy routine. If you have to get your parents permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots, he continued. Foxworthy has also published endorsed Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump, commenting he is terrified for our nation if Hillary become president. I think people are fed up with having a commander in chief that does the apology tour around the world, he concluded. 
3	Star Wars, ancient Tibet, and Jedi trainingBy Jon Rappoport Yes, a director could take those pre-conditions and distort and strangle them in the making of a film, but without those elements the Star Wars movies wouldnt exist at all. Drilling down furtherThe Jedi, in whom the Force is naturally strong, undergo training. This factor pulses in the audiences subconscious, because it makes a kind of sense. If an individual can perform paranormal feats and control themhe needs to learn how. He needs to go to school. He needs to practice, as an athlete does. Perhaps the paranormal isnt just a childs fantasy. Maybe its more than that. Suppose it is. Suppose these societies we live in, these civilizations, are built to exclude such possibilities. Suppose, in the glorification of technology, an omission has occurredan intentional omission. Suppose a deadening realism is the arbitrary substitute for paranormal ability. Suppose this is a long con of immense obfuscation. Read Dean Radins classic, The Conscious Universe: Radin presents a compelling case via a far-reaching analysis of paranormal laboratory experiments and their results. When I first read his breakthrough book, I was floored. Far from merely recounting anecdotes of paranormal phenomena, Radin was proving that decades of well-formed and well-conducted published laboratory studies, in the areas of telepathy and psychokinesis, revealed that these human capabilities exist. He had performed a staggering feat. He had shown the science was valid. It remains for other branches of the scientific community to catch up, to admit their consensus about reality is provincial, distorted, and pathetically behind the times. They are now the Roman Church of old, denying Galileo and Bruno. Two years ago, Radin spoke at a conference, Electric Universe, in New Mexico. He described his recent pilot study on time and precognition. A small group of advanced meditators who use the non-dual technique, were tested. While meditating, they were subjected to random interruptions: a flash of light and a beeping sound. Measuring their brain activity, Radin found that significant brain changes occurred BEFORE the light flashes or the beeps. A control group of non-meditators were tested in exactly the same way, but their brain measurements revealed NO such changes. In other words, the brains of the meditators anticipated the timing of the unpredictable interruptions. The future was registering now. This, of course, opens up another way of thinking about time. Serial time, the idea that, in this continuum, we experience a smooth progression of moments, with the present becoming, so to speak, the future, is the conventional view. But suppose that is a grossly limiting and sketchy premise? Suppose that, for those who can be aware of it, the future is bleeding into the present? It is making an impact before it happens. If time is deeply rooted in perception, Dean Radins study indicates that this perception extends to the future. If people can register the impact of the future now, then our notions of time are up for grabs. So are conventional concepts of cause and effect, which rely on chains of events moving like trains from the past to the present. We need to consider that causes can sit in the future and produce their effects in the present. In which case, what is the future? It certainly is an expanded territory that extends beyond our normal notions of it. In correspondence with me, Dean Radin offered further information about his study: All participants knew that they would receive a light flash, an audio tone [beep], both, or none. In one condition they didnt know when these would occur or what type of stimulus. In another condition they knew when it would occur but not what. In all cases no one, including [the scientist] experiment[ers], knew what the next stimulus would be because we used a true random number generator to select it on the fly. The conclusion of the study was that the reported subjective experience of exceptional spaciousness, or timelessness, reported by some advanced meditators, appears to be objectively correct. That is, their subjective sense of now appears to expand substantially, and our experiment indicates that this was not an illusion. I then asked Dr. Radin how closely correlated the light flashes and audio tones were to the brain changes in the meditators. His answer was stunning. The brain changes occurred 1.5 seconds before these interruptions. And the changes obviously occurred even though some of the meditators didnt know when the interruptions were coming. Radins remarks offer us a major point: these meditators were expanding their consciousness of the present moment, so that it included the future. Such a framework of understanding travels far beyond modern ideas about the makeup and laws of the physical universe. It implies more than merely a holographic or pixel-based cosmos. It speaks to titanic capabilities on our part. Of course, having sunk to a state in which we navigate in an amnesia about ourselves, we look at these ideas with skepticism. We pretend we are trapped in a container-continuum of space and time, as Einstein and others have fleshed it out. Consider what could be the most astonishing extension of Dean Radins work: suppose that for those elements of the future that arent yet planned or on the drawing boards at all, people can still register their presence in advance. Then we would be talking about the human capacity to reach out into a vacuum, a nothing, and still bring back what is going to happen. Back to Star Wars. Jedi undergo training to improve their ability to see into the immediate future, to know, in advance, what is about to happen seconds before it doesfor example, in battle against an opponent. In this sense, that process mirrors what Radin has been researching and confirming. Is it any surprise that the movie audience feels a resonance with Jedi abilities? We are talking about more than just fantasy wish-fulfillment. Another kind of training existed in early Tibet. Those Jedi utilized a method of visualization that, in its concept, challenges virtually all systems of spiritual practice. (Read John Blofelds wonderful book, The Tantric Mysticism of Tibet.) Im talking about deity visualization. The student is given a task: create in his mind, in every detail, the image of a specific deity. I believe these students were given a painting to study in this regard. This was no brush-off exercise. The student, in isolation, had to create, all at once, with no missing parts, and sustain the entire (fully and extensively decorated) image. If he could accomplish this at all, it might take months, or even years. If he achieved the goal, the deity would then naturally take on the persona of a counselor, guide, and friend. For the student, this would be a marvelous ongoing experience. The teacher, watching the student closely, would determine when he was relying too closely on the guide. At that point, he would tell the student: Get rid of the deity. This, it was said, was more difficult than creating it in the first place. But if the student could achieve both the creation and destruction of the deity, he would then see, as John Blofeld puts it, that the universe is a product of mind. This insight, not merely an intellectual conclusion, but an immediate knowing and experience, would enable the student to change, rearrange, and recreate physical space, time, and energy. The early Tibetan school of the paranormal was undoubtedly the most original in the history of the planet. It also speaks to the idea that, through training, through the development of the faculty of imagination, the individual can regain and restore what was originally his, before socialization, indoctrination, and realism submerged his own power. The Star Wars films reinstate the concept of the advanced academy, where students actually train to enhance their inherent capacities. Therefore, the movies are more than spectacles. They firmly suggest that training, if it existed, would be the key to outdistancing the programmed and illusory dimensions of the world people believe they live in. The films reawaken the idea of individual powernot as some bedraggled tag-end appendage going extinct as a result of higher social evolution, but as a primary alive and electric core that has been stepped on and rejected by engineers of a mass future, in which individuals are supposed to be numbers and units and ciphers in a dimmed-out gray utopia, for the sake of some misbegotten counterfeit of universal justice and equalityneither of which, when the veneer is peeled away, is just or equal. There, for those who can see, is the illusion. The reality is the individual, alive and awake with his amnesia stripped away, and his power intact. Again.

2	Hillary To Face Criminal Indictment By U.S. Attorney General Within 60 Days For 1200 Classified Emails Former U.S. attorney Joe DiGenova has made an announcement saying that he is certain Hillary Clinton will face criminal indictment within 60 days. They have reached a critical mass in their investigation of the secretary and all of her senior staff. And, its going to come to a head, I would suggest, in the next 60 days, Joe said. Its going to be a very complex matter for the Department of Justice, but theyre not going to be able to walk away from it. They are now at over 1,200 classified emails. And, thats just for the ones we know about from the State Department. That does not include the ones that the FBI is, in fact, recovering from her hard drives. Hillary Clinton has not been interviewed by the FBI, and once this happens, they will be able to take her down. Hillary has done enough damage as it is. She needs to be put away. Then again, it seems like she always finds a way to elude the law. Do you think Hillary should go to prison for life? 
1	The creative minds behind Google.com confirmed Wednesday that they hope to turn the popular website into a book, perhaps even securing a deal that would have their work in print and on sale in time for the 2012 holiday season. 'There's been a lot of buzz around our site lately, and we have new visitors every day, so hopefully we can at least get a publisher to read our proposal,' said executive chairman Eric Schmidt, adding that if the book was a success it could possibly lead to more books or even a TV pilot. 'Obviously, we'll be including highlights from the past decade of Google searches, but we're hoping to work out a deal with enough of a production budget to include pullout versions of some of our most popular maps. We've already sent an outline and sample chapters to a guy at HarperCollins, so we'll hear back soon, I hope.' Schmidt also said the Google book would definitely be better than the Ask Jeeves book, which was just a rehash of what was already on the Ask Jeeves site with nothing new added to it.

3	The Double-Edged Sword of Drone TechnologyTony Cartalucci As the NSA builds an omnipresent surveillance network across the planets surface tracking each and every one of us, ranking us autonomously into various threat categories with the most dangerous brought to the attention of human operators fleets of drones can endlessly circle overhead with the ability to strike us down at any moment. Such a society is technically already here. While drones are not killing Americans on American soil, they are killing Americans on foreign soil under just such a premise. While the justification today is terrorism and the villains easily hated by most Americans and their deaths just as easily shrugged off, this can and already is being incrementally changed. The centralized nature of telecom and the current monopoly the state holds over drone technology ensures that this nightmare only gets darker. The Solution Even the Odds The civilian use of drones goes beyond their use by police and non-military government agencies. News teams both corporate and alternative are increasingly turning to drone technology to cover events as they unfold. In Bangkok, Thailand, during protests seeking to oust Wall Street proxy Thaksin Shinawatra, alternative news agencies used drones not only to cover events from unique and compelling perspectives, but to gather intelligence on the strength and disposition of police loyal to the regime. With this information available to all on YouTube via drone footage released of clashes filmed from above, better strategies could be developed against the regime, saving time, energy, and even lives. Drones are being deployed agriculturally by independent farmers to give them a better idea of how their crops are fairing and insight on how to better manage their fields with the resources they have or may require. MITs Technology Review, in an article titled, Agricultural Drones, stated: Drones can provide farmers with three types of detailed views. First, seeing a crop from the air can reveal patterns that expose everything from irrigation problems to soil variation and even pest and fungal infestations that arent apparent at eye level. Second, airborne cameras can take multispectral images, capturing data from the infrared as well as the visual spectrum, which can be combined to create a view of the crop that highlights differences between healthy and distressed plants in a way that cant be seen with the naked eye. Finally, a drone can survey a crop every week, every day, or even every hour. Combined to create a time-series animation, that imagery can show changes in the crop, revealing trouble spots or opportunities for better crop management. This out-of-box capability may already be helping farmers today, but the hackability of drone technology means that these automated camera platforms may soon be helping in other, bigger ways. DIY Drones Asking for drones to be regulated or otherwise outlawed will only result in the technology remaining solely in the hands of those abusing it most. Instead, activists fearing a dystopian future where drones prowl the skies and strike us down without warning and with absolute impunity, should commit themselves to democratizing drone technology in other words taking ownership over it and ensuring no monopoly of any kind can be had over it. People have already been developing their own drones as part of personal projects, at universities as school projects, or part of technological collectives known as makerspaces or hackerspaces. The concept of DIY drones is gaining momentum as the technology used to construct and hack automated or semi-autonomous aerial platforms becomes cheaper and easier to use. There in fact exists an entire community online,DIYdrones.com, that provides a good cross section of the increasingly impressive results hobbyists, makers, and hackers are achieving. The website also serves as an invaluable resource for those seeking to build their own projects. While many commercial kits offered to farmers today serve as advanced imaging systems, hackers could potentially augment these drones with the ability to do everything from managing pests, pulling weeds, and checking hydration, to providing security alerts and even automated harvesting that puts not a single footprint or tire track upon fields. Other applications could include painting, maintenance, meteorology, and even constructionin both rural and urban settings. Balance of Power Before the need even arises to create fleets of locally produced and armed drones, a fully educated population that has successfully democratized drone technology will already pose a counterweight to the unmitigated use of drones by monopolies. Awareness alone will limit the impunity these monopolies currently enjoy today. However, with an increasing number of people capable of producing their own drones, countermeasures to armed drones and their abuse will increase as well not only within any given country, but between countries as well. The monopoly the United States enjoys today will be hindered first by other nations developing their own drone programs, and then by the expansion of civilian uses and an increasingly educated and technologically competent population. For those that fear and detest the use of drones by governments and corporations as an extension of their monopolies, greed, and ambitions to control others, the battle should not be to un-invent drone technology, but to disseminate, distribute, and democratize it to provide the ultimate check and balance. Sentinels created by and for local communities could be used for security and weather observations today, but the ability for them to be transformed into self-defense systems tomorrow would be an ever-looming threat hegemonic powers would have to enter into their calculus. The watchers can be watched, the trackers can be tracked, and the executioners can be eliminated but only if drone technology can be embraced and democratized, not feared and allowed to remain monopolized. When we do grant ourselves the ability to watch, track, and eliminate the drones sent to watch, track, and eliminate us, we may find the balance of power such an ability achieves makes actual confrontation entirely unnecessary for it was the ancient Chinese warlord Sun Tzu who said best, The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.

2	Judge Comes Forward With PROOF That Will Put Hillary Away For Good [SEE DETAILS] Former Judge Andrew P. Napolitano raised some serious questions after he revealed that presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton armed Middle Eastern organizations on the U.S. terror list during her time as Secretary of State. Napolitano claims that during her time in office, Clinton convinced the Obama administration to arm rebel factions in Syria and Libya in an effort to overthrow the governments of those countries. The administration then went on to hire Marc Turi, an American arms dealer, to sell weapons to Qatar. Qatar was then instructed to give this weapons to rebel groups in Libya and Syria. During this secret war, Napolitano claims that some of the groups and men who received weapons were terrorists. In fact, Clinton reportedly armed the men who would later storm Benghazi. And as if all that werent bad enough, Clinton went on to lie and claim ignorance about all of this. Doesnt exactly sound like someone we want in the White House again, does it?

Its Operation Choke Point, ostensibly an attempt to crack down on fraudulent businesses, but in reality a dragnet that has ensnared innocent entrepreneurs unfairly classified as high-risk players. Big Box does not want competition, funding the little guy does not produce the profits owners demand. This happened to us! Interesting that in the wake of the biggest expansion of government in US history what did Obama defund? The takedown continues. Change. Its Fascism , pure and simple . They are going after numerous honest businesses for different reasons that serve interests of the Elite , who dont want competition , armed citizens and want to ensure monopolies by Banks . Remember last election? What was BOTH sides promising? To help the MIDDLE CLASS. Who has been hurt the MOST these last 7 years? The MIDDLE CLASS. Who is literally holding up the entire country? The MIDDLE CLASS. And finally- who WILL be eventually broken financially? Yup, you guessed it.

2	Many Are Fleeing The Country Because Of Oprahs Recent 2016 Announcement According to recent reports, there is speculation that superstar TV host Oprah Winfrey may have intentions to run for president. Even though Oprah has previously made statements that she will not run for the position, but believed Hillary Clinton will be the first woman to take office, rumors stand that she intends to campaign to become to first female, non-white, United States president. Still, the rumors are questionable. It is reported that Oprah has addressed the rumors on Jonathan Ross. She will once again put her support behind Clinton. Some wonder whether the talk show host would have rivaled the former US Secretary of State for the positionalthough Clinton still has not confirmed whether she will run in 2016. What do you think? Would you vote for either of these women?

2	The American Flag To Be Redesigned. What Do You Think Of It? According to recent reports, a 90-year-old Navy Vet who served during World II is on a mission to improve our flag. Samuel J. Kapral loves America, and claims that he has always been concerned by the limited space for stars of the flag. Why are they such a limited area? he told WCBS-TV, claiming that from a distance they are unrecognizable. I know some people are very sentimental about this. Kapral started to redesign the flag about four years ago, finally settling on a look that expands the blue field for the stars to nearly half of the flag. His own son doubts that the new design will gain traction. Thats his proposed design? one New Yorker told WCBS after being shown the design. No, why should we change it? Some argue that the flag is highly symbolic of our country, and people are too attached to the current design to alter it. What do you think? 
2	Actor Steven Seagal Goes On Live TV ERUPTS On Hillary And Obama... This Is Intense Actor Steven Seagal has just stood up for America, while the rest of Hollywood remains silent. This week has been rough for our country. First, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton collapsed at the 9/11 memorial. Then, she called millions of hardworking Americans deplorable. As if that werent enough, NFL players throughout the country have been blatantly disrespecting the American flag. Needless to say, Seagal had enough. I think the most important job as Secretary of State is ensuring our people dont get killed, Seagal tweeted. If you cant do that@PeterKostov. Pneumonia or not, she is going to be disastrous for the American people. #NoToHillary, he continued. Of course, Seagal quickly became the target of liberal fire for his comments, but he refused to break down. He particularly lost it when one Twitter user tried to argued that Hillary was the most capable for the presidency. Capable? Capable of leaving AMERICANS to die. Capable of disregarding law. Capable of disrespecting rape survivors, he argued. He then went on to address race relations in the United States, and the true role President Barack Obama has played in the social evolution of this country. Obama has been abysmal for race relations in USA. #TRUTH We need to start having honest dialog, he wrote. Seagal concluded by pointing out the irony of the attacks he was receiving from liberals everywhere. Best thing in the worldMaking one statement about freedom and getting attacked by every Demo out there #HYPOCRITICAL, he tweeted. An America without a democrat in the White House, is a SAFER America. What do you think of Seagals comments? 
3	Recent Supreme Court decision significantly undermines your right to remain silentMadison Ruppert In yet another disturbing recent Supreme Court decision, the court ruled 5-4 that the prosecution can use an individuals silence in response to a question, if they responded to other questions, as evidence of their guilt at trial. At trial, prosecutors described what they claimed was an uncomfortable reaction on the part of Genovevo Salinas, an individual who was questioned by police after the murder of two brothers in a Houston, Texas home. There were no witnesses to the shooting, just shotgun shells left at the scene. Salinas had been at the house the night before the shooting, agreed to give police his shotgun for testing when he was asked to come to the station to talk. The police said he stopped talking, shuffled his feet, bit his lip and began to tighten up after they asked if the shells from the scene of the murder would match his shotgun. Prosecutors brought this up at trial even though Salinas didnt testify. SCOTUS Blog explains the decision: When petitioner had not yet been placed in custody or received Miranda warnings, and voluntarily responded to some questions by police about a murder, the prosecutions use of his silence in response to another question as evidence of his guilty at trial did not violate the Fifth Amendment because petitioner failed to expressly invoke his privilege not to incriminate himself in response to the officers question. The Court radically changed their position in this case. Justice Samuel Alito stated that Salinas was free to leave at any time and didnt expressly invoke his right to remain silent. Alito was basically saying that somehow, without a lawyer, and without being told his rights, he should have affirmatively invoked his right to not answer question, according to Brandon Garrett, a professor of law at the university of Virginia Law School. Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia joined Alito in his judgment but said they think that Salinas had no rights at all to invoke before his arrest (they also object to Miranda itself), Garrett said. This case has many worrisome implications. In an in-depth article, George Washington University Law School professor Orin Kerr pointed out just one of them in writing, it is relatively easy for the government to claim that a suspects reaction to an incriminating question suggests guilt and very hard for a defendant to challenge that characterization. This is especially true because the kind of questioning at issue is usually informal, unregulated and unrecorded. Alito and those who sided with him were not troubled that there was no video to confirm that Salinas was in fact uncomfortable as well as silent, Garrett pointed out. In the dissenting opinion, Justice Stephen Breyer pointed out that the Courts ruling places the defendant in an impossible predicament. He must either answer the question or remain silent. If he answers the question, he may well reveal, for example, prejudicial facts, disreputable associates, or suspicious circumstanceseven if he is innocent, Breyer stated. If the suspect doesnt answer, police and prosecutors can now take advantage of the suspects silence at trial. They may be able to even use the suspects pausing or fidgeting against them. One of the biggest problems, according to Garrett, is that in many cases in which people were exonerated by DNA testing, innocent people supposedly admitted their guilt before any formal interrogation took place. According to Garrett, the Courts ruling in Salinas actually encourages the kind of loosey-goosey, and easily contaminated, police questioning that leads to false confessions. Garrett states that the Courts decision endorses a questions first, rights later approach which gives the police a great incentive to ask questions informally and undermines the key reform that police have adopted to prevent false confessions: videotaping entire interrogations. He points out that police could always just opt to trap a suspect before they begin videotaping the interrogation and not all cases will have DNA evidence available to test. The likely result of the courts embrace of shoddy interrogation tactics: more wrongful convictions, Garrett concludes.

Such was the case with New Gingrich and Rick Santorum in 2011. Now, the network has made the decision to suspend Ben Carson. According to recent reports, the retired neurosurgeon from Johns Hopkins will be running in 2016. His campaign will reportedly begin with a 40-minute documentary. The paid ad is design to introduce the candidate to his fellow Americans, as well as share a brief history of his upbringing. The ad will run in 22 states as well as Washington, D.C. According to reports, a spokesperson for Fox News confirmed that Carson will no longer be a part of the network. What do you think? Would you vote for Carson? 
1	According to a study published Wednesday in the Journal Of Management, the morale of an entire workplace typically improves dramatically following any instance in which employees witness one of their coworkers absolutely losing it and throwing a fit right there in the office. It turns out that whenever someone at a place of business gets fed up to the point of raising their voice or begins vigorously and loudly typing on their keyboard as they have a tantrum at their desk, everyone else who works there starts to feel a little bit better, said industrial psychologist Glenn Hardt, explaining that the study measured self-reported levels of happiness among employees immediately before and after a coworker sighed heavily, slammed his or her laptop closed, and stormed out of a meeting. There may be a few stunned looks at first, but this behavior is soon followed by a flurry of eye contact, half-suppressed smiles, and then sustained, measurable improvements in mood among those still present. The study went on to state that workplace morale plummets to its lowest point when a fellow employee is promoted. 
3	Hawaii, Mexico Score Legal Victories Against GMOLocal resistance against invasive corporate agriculture is not fruitless just look at Hawaii and Mexico this week. The island Kauai, the fourth largest in Hawaii, passed a countywide resolution this week after widespread activist pressure and a marathon hearing that places significant restrictions on biotech and pesticide firms (though stronger rules originally in the bill were defeated). The Kauai County Council, which holds jurisdiction over the entire island, passed Bill 2491 by aveto-proof vote of 6-to-1, and will require full disclosure of when GMO crops are planted and when pesticides are used, while establishing buffer zones and other rules. According to Reuters: A similar bill is being considered on Hawaiis big island. Kauai is known as the Garden Isle and viewed as an ideal testing ground for new genetically-engineered varieties due to its climate, which allows year round growing seasons, including three corn crops per year. It has served as a virtual ground zero testing headquarters for many of biotechs biggest firms for decades. The USDA issues permits to Syngenta, DuPont Pioneer, Dow AgroSciences, BASF, and, of course, Monsanto to conduct thousands of acres of open field trials in Hawaii, with an estimated 15,000 acres cultivated on Kauai. More recently, several thousand activists marched in Kauai to demand the eviction of Monsanto and the passage of the bill to levy more restrictions against firms growing GMOs on the island. Nearly 100 residents spoke in favor of the bill in Kauai, while thousands more supported their efforts and pushed for this local, legislative victory. Meanwhile, Mexico halts GM corn permits GMOs in Mexico have always been controversial, as attempts to grow corn and other crops directly threaten the immense cultural heritage of thousands of unique varieties of heirloom maize an irreplaceable depository of thousands of years of agricultural breeding. But a ten year moratorium against planting GM corn was broken in 2009, when the Calderon administration curbed to biotech pressure and allowed GMO to take root. Now, according to CIP Americas, in response to a class action lawsuit filed by 20 groups and 53 individuals, a federal court has ordered the suspension of permits for experimental, pilot and commercial plots of genetically modified corn. A blow to self-interested biotech firms often accused of dominating the world including Monsanto, DuPont Pioneer, Syngenta, Bayer and Dow AgroSciences, the case was won on the precautionary principle basis of preventing harm until crops are demonstrated as harmless via scientific consensus. But perhaps even more important is the protection it can give to local farmers whove depended upon maize biodiversity and the continuity of heritage crops for their livelihood for countless generations. Back in 2002, the widespread, systematic contamination of these maize varieties by UNAUTHORIZED GM corn strains was confirmed, raising alarms about the possibility for new genetically-modified mono-crops to destroy one of the worlds foremost agricultural genetic treasure chests. Prior to this lawsuit, Monsanto and other corporations reportedly received hundreds of permits to plant about a million hectares in 2012 a development that outraged many in Mexicos agricultural community. In Mexico and in Hawaii legal challenges from biotech may be forthcoming, as these transnational firms are unlikely to pack up and go home, particularly as big foundation billionaires including Bill Gates and Carlos Slim have set up new centers to back the development of GM improvements to agriculture throughout Mexico, and the Gates and Rockefeller Foundations have sponsored a new green revolution based on GMOs and megacorporate control across the globe.

2	Major World Power Joins Russia In AntiThis is a partnership that wont soon be forgotten. According to Downing Street, Prime Minister David Cameron and Russian President Vladimir Putin have agreed to work together to defeat the Islamic State. The pair have committed to cooperating in the war against IS. The decision was made earlier this week, after Cameron updated Putin on the British airstrikes in Syria. The two leaders were united by their views that military action alone is not enough to defeat the terrorist organization. Their new plan of action is to work together to develop a political solution to end the Syrian civil war. As part of the agreement, Cameron is considering sending British experts to analyze information on the flight recorder of a Russian jet shot down by Turkey. The prime minister and president agreed that the UK and Russia should work together, with other international partners, to tackle Daesh (IS) and the threat it poses, and on the political process to bring peace to Syria, a Downing Street spokesperson told reporters. Now, they are waiting for the investigation to establish what happened in the incident involving the Russian jet before taking further action. What do you think of this partnership? 
3	SPLC Bullies Music Distributors Into Banning Hate MusicBrandon Turbeville An investigation was recently undertaken by the SPLC in order to determine whether or not the music of bands that the SPLC deems offensive or racist except for explicitly racist rap music were being sold on online services like iTunes, Amazon, or Spotify. As one might expect, this investigation revealed a number of bands and songs that the SPLC believes Americans do not have a right to hear, access, or produce. This investigation and the subsequent report has resulted in the removal of a number of bands and songs from iTunes. The SPLC has complained that Amazon and Spotify, however, are responding too slowly to their command. On its own website, the SPLC stated, Apple is doing the right thing by preventing iTunes from being used as a recruitment tool for white supremacists, said Heidi Beirich, director of the SPLCs Intelligence Project. Amazon and other online retailers that continue to sell this music need to realize that they are providing a powerful platform for extremists to reach young people with messages that advocate hate and violence against African Americans, Jews and others. The SPLC apparently was not concerned with music that might reach young people with messages that advocate hate and violence against Caucasians since the focus was on white power bands from the outset. While some of the lyrics cited by the SPLC were undoubtedly racist and deplorable, what is also deplorable is that the SPLC, which has set itself up as the arbiter of all that is race and justice related, is allowed to erase an artists freedom of expression and ones right to hear and see it. The First Amendment exists in order to protect unpopular speech, no matter how strongly we may disagree with the statements being made. While, admittedly, the songs were removed by the decision of a private company after being lobbied by the SPLC, it is also true that the SPLC has made a career out of promoting acts and expressions of hate only to be seen as the opponent of these very acts and the savior of the perceived targets. The SPLC is also notorious for deeming Libertarians, Constitutionalists, Patriots, and militias as hate groups as well as for its nonstop paranoia and fearmongering over what they label conspiracy theorists and anti government extremists. Of course, the individuals lumped into at least two of these categories are generally obsessed with upholding and respecting the U.S. Constitution, the founding document of the United States government. But that has never mattered to the SPLC. According the SPLC, being pro-Constitution makes you anti-Government. The SPLC is also well known for its tight working relationship with the FBI as well as with many law enforcement agencies across the country. It is also well known that FBI controls most white supremacist groups operating inside the United States today. With the close relationship between the SPLC and the FBI, particularly in the area of hate groups, it is justifiable to question the exact role that the SPLC itself plays in hate crimes and hate groups in general. Thus, its fascination with hate music on the Internet rings somewhat hollow on ears that are informed as to the true nature of the organization. As Kurt Nimmo wrote in 2012, Despite the hype by Conservative media outlets earlier in the year, the SPLC continues to work closely with the FBI. In addition the SPLC admits, on its own website, that it works closely with local law enforcement agencies. It states, The incredibly biased, ignorant, and terrified police forces that look at every American citizen as an insurgent in occupied territory is greatly contributed to by the training provided to their local forces by the SPLC. Thus, it is important to remember the treacherous nature of the SPLC and their agenda to further divide the United States via relentless race-baiting and their constant attacks on freedom of speech, thought, and expression. It is also important to remember the SPLCs contribution to the law enforcement community and the American police state by virtue of its nonsensical training and fearmongering of police. It is also time for Americans to demand full transparency of the SPLC, its relationship to American and foreign intelligence agencies, and its relationship with domestic law enforcement. In fact, it is time for the SPLCs relationship with these agencies to end completely. Recently from Brandon Turbeville: Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

1	An elderly man currently struggling to walk up a flight of steps at the local post office has rocked this community of nearly 12,000 people, leaving many shaken and devastated by the slow-moving, wheezing octogenarian's inability to perform what was once an effortless physical task, sources confirmed Thursday. Described by onlookers as both hunched over and more than likely racked with thoughts of how much his body has deteriorated over time, the man began his ascent to the top of the 9-foot staircase at 9:45 a.m. By the fourth step, the man reportedly started using the handrail to stabilize himselfa sight that emotionally crippled the already grief-stricken community. At press time, crushed town sources said the image of the man stopping on the seventh step to catch his breath would forever be seared into their brains. 'The elderly man's lack of stamina and mobility has left all of us in a state of shock,' said Uniontown mayor Ed Fike, who added that watching younger people swiftly pass the senior on the steps has only exacerbated an already terrible situation. 'Unfortunately, the worst has yet to come. He still has six more steps to go, and I don't see him becoming any more limber or getting any sort of boost in energy during that time.' 'Until he reaches the top, this town needs to deal with the likelihood that this gentleman is currently wondering how much longer he'll be able to use staircases unassisted, or worse yet, if there's any point in being alive if you can't even walk up 13 measly steps,' he added. 'Christ, they're pretty shallow steps, too.' According to residents, the town has been demoralized not only by the sheer amount of energy the man must summon to make it up each step, but also by the man's near inability to lift his knees high enough to place his feet securely on the edge of the next stair, and then the next, and then the next. In addition, sources confirmed the elderly man periodically removing his handkerchief to wipe away sweat from his forehead has taken a significant toll on the community, as has his weary yet stoic expression, which passersby said indicates the man long ago accepted, with humility and grace, the fact that he will have to repeatedly endure humiliating physical hardships every single day for the rest of his life. 'My God, it's going to take him five minutes to get up there,' said real estate agent Michael O'Connor, who later speculated that if the old man has such extreme difficulty walking up steps, he more than likely can't even walk on flat ground without tiring easily. 'I bet 50 years ago he was bounding up steps two at a time, and now look at him. He just glanced up at the top stair as if to calculate whether or not he has enough energy to actually make it. I can't watch this anymore.' 'Why is he carrying those bags?' said distraught 42-year-old resident April Carlson, referring to two Rite Aid bags the elderly man is holding in each hand. 'There's no way those bags are making this any easier for him. Doesn't he have anyone to help him out with stuff like that?' Further adding to the community's distress is speculation that the man probably once led an extremely active life, fighting for his country in World War II, playing high school football, and taking his loving wife out dancing. Citizens later concluded that the man's wife is most likely dead, that he lives alone, and that his inability to get around is a constant reminder of everything he's lost. While residents said they would try to recover from the sight of the man looking back at the bottom step as if he might quit altogether, the majority noted it would be impossible to forget his ordeal. 'I have encouraged our citizens to continue on and live life as normal,' Mayor Fike said. 'But I feel like that is going to be impossible. The truth is, at some point, no matter how healthy you eat, or how in shape you are, there will come a time when your body simply stops working. It breaks down. Muscles become weaker. The simple act of standing becomes nearly impossible. So if there is any lesson to be learned from today's events, it's that all of us, every single one of us, will suffer.'

3	Israel Just Cut Off Water to Palestine During Ramadan Leaving Tens of Thousands ThirstyBy Matt Agorist However,during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Israel has cut off nearly all water flow to the region. According to a report in Al Jazeera,Mekorot, the main supplier of water to Palestinian towns and cities, siphoned off water supplies to the municipality of Jenin, several Nablus villages and the city of Salfit and its surrounding villages. Ayman Rabi, the executive director of the Palestinian Hydrology Group, told Al Jazeera on Tuesday that in some areas people had not received water for more than 40 days. People are relying on purchasing water from water trucks or finding it from alternative sources such as springs and other filling points in their vicinity, he said. Families are having to live on two, three or 10 liters per capita per day, he said, adding that in some areas they had started rationing water. According to the United Nations, individuals need around 7.5 liters of water per day to survive. However, in Palestine, where the average temperature reaches over 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer, the amount of water needed to survive is far higher. In an interview with Press TV,Richard Silverstein, a journalist and political commentator, called the shutting off of water an act of spite in response to the tragic terror attacks in Tel Aviv earlier this month. Well, this is an issue of Israels pure naked power grab and it does this with resources like water, it does it with resources like land and it does it through naked strength of military force in order to get its way and promote its own interest and as you mentioned the settlers are the ones who are the primary beneficiaries of these series of thefts by Israel and this is something that is routine that happens every day and we saw after the terror attack in Tel Aviv that Israel basically shut down the West Bank and hundred thousand Palestinians who had work permits were not permitted to enter Israel. This is just really done on a whim and it is done out of spite. You mentioned that it is Ramadan and of course this is a symbolic act by Israel, it is sticking its thumb into the eye of Palestinians and unfortunately this is what the definition of occupation is, explained Silverstein. Aside from cutting off the water, after the tragic shooting by two men from a village near the West Bank city of Hebron on a Tel Aviv entertainment complex that left four Israelis dead, Israeli officials froze tens of thousands of travel and work permits for Palestinians in response to the attack. Sadly, the mistreatment of the Palestinians and the resultant blowback is a vicious cycle that seems never-ending. Unfortunately, it also appears to be escalating. If there is anything that frightens me in the remembrance of the Holocaust, it is discerning nauseating processes that took place in Europe in general, and in Germany specifically back then, 70, 80 and 90 years ago, and seeing evidence of them here among us in the year 2016, Maj. Gen. Yair Golan, the Israeli armys deputy chief of staff said. Until humanity realizes that acts of aggression will always be met with more acts of aggression this madness will continue.

Maybe moslem oil nations can start taking in 3rd world savage moslems like the US does. Maybe America can take all those Zionist land thieves and leave the Palestinians alone to enjoy their own possessions. Perhaps USA can also give back California to the people it stole from too. nothing of the sort happenedit was a broken water main, which was promptly fixed. dont believe the pro palestine propaganda Untrue! And what you say sounds like a typically arrogant Zionist piece of hasbara, to try and acquit the land and water thieves. Palestinians had all the water they needed before the mass killers of the IDF showed up to steal everything. BS! Your satanist dreams are deadly. All the water belongs to the Palestinians in the first place. The Zionists use the stolen water to keep their lawns green and to fill their swimming pools. BDS is the way forward and remove all the thieves from Palestine. 
2	Hannity Just Got The Best News Of His Career... Lets Show Him Our Support It has been an incredible year for Fox News correspondent Sean Hannity. Hannity earned immense support throughout the presidential campaign for becoming an early supporter of Donald Trumps run. In fact, he was instrumental in getting the word out for him. Hannity also shot to the top of the ratings in all of cable news, but nothing could prepare him for the gig that he just landed. The interview could define Hannitys entire broadcast career. According to recent reports, Hannity will be interviewing WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who took a strong stand for Republican Donald Trump by helping to reveal the truth about Clintons many crimes. The important interview will be held in person at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where Assange has been residing to avoid getting attacked by liberals. He has adamantly opposed the intelligence communitys accusations that the source of his many leaks is Russian hackers. Our source is not the Russian government, Assange explained in a previous interview. Were unhappy that we felt that we needed to even say that it wasnt a state part. Normally, we say nothing at all. In order to prevent a distraction attack against our publications, weve had to come out and say, No, its not a state part. Stop trying to distract in that way and pay attention to the content of the publication. What do you think? Will you be tuning in to this interview? 
2	Police Shoot Dead Armed Terrorist Yelling Allahu Akbar! French police on Saturday shot dead a man shouting Allahu Akbar (God is the greatest) who stabbed and wounded three officers in a police station, authorities said. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, who rushed to the scene, said the man was killed after he attacked the policemen with a knife in a station in Joue-les-Tours, a suburb of the city of Tours in central France. Cazeneuve confirmed the attacker had shouted Allahu Akbar during the attack, which he said was extremely violent. The counter-terrorism section of the Public Prosecutors office has opened a probe for attempted murder and criminal conspiracy in connection with a terrorist organization, the Paris Prosecutors office said. There are grounds to probe whether he acted alone, whether he followed orders, or whether it was a mindless action, Public Prosecutor Jean-Luc Beck told BFM-TV. The man was known to police for common crimes but was not on any watch list of the French intelligence services, Cazeneuve said, adding: The probe is only starting. The three wounded officers were hospitalized but were out of danger, he added. NBC News Do the world powers need to take ISIS more seriously? 
3	The Effects of Nuclear Testing Since 1945 Shows Us What We Can Expect From FukushimaChris Carrington On Monday July 16th 1945 in Alamogordo, Mexico the first ever atomic bomb was tested. The bomb was called Trinity, which by definition means three things that are closely conjoined to form one new unit. Its also the name given to the Christian Godhead: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, but there was nothing holy about this alliance. The success of the Trinity test allowed progression to the main event, the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 and Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. 16 hours after the Hiroshima bomb run, President Truman addressed the people of the United States, you can read his full speech here. From July 16th 1945 to February 12th 2013, 530 nuclear devices have been air detonated, 528 tests and the two bombs dropped on Japan. 1525 underground tests have taken place during the same period. Nuclear explosions of any kind involve the conversion of atomic mass into energy by one of two processes, nuclear fission, or nuclear fusion. Fission releases energy by splitting uranium or plutonium atoms which creates radioactive elements. Fusion is triggered by a fission explosion that then forces tritium or deuterium atoms to combine into larger atoms. This creates more powerful explosions than fission. Both of these reactions create three types of radioactive debris. By 1960 there wasnt a single place on Earth left untouched by these tests. Every soil sample, every water sample and even every polar ice cap sample, arctic and antarctic, were contaminatedand there was still 50 years more testing to go to bring us to the present day, and the last test conducted by North Korea in 2013. Research Simon, Bouville and Land have found that: You can read the rest of their research here. New research published in the journal Nature Communications has found that radioactive particles from these tests are still in the stratosphere, but volcanic reactions can cause them to move lower, into the troposphere. Their findings were confirmed after the eruption of the Eyjafjallajkull volcano in 2010. Plutonium levels in the lower atmosphere increased. Fukushima At 14:46 on March 11 2011 a massive magnitude 9 earthquake shook the Honshu region of Japan. 40 minutes later a huge tsunami devastated the northeastern coast of Japan. The Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear power station, managed by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) was for the most part destroyed. Three of the six reactors on the site were off-line and undergoing routine maintenance, the remaining three were operational. All of the operational reactors were shut down at the time of the earthquake but external power lines were cut. The reactors need to be cooled even after shutdown, and to cool them you need power. Back-up power was started and was working until the tsunami hit. The waves reached a height of 12 meters, wiping out the ten-meter-high sea wall in front of the plant. The plant itself was designed with a maximum safety factor of 5.7 meters, well under the height of the wave. All back-up power, and therefore cooling capacity, was wiped out an hour after the earthquake. Without any cooling, the reactors went critical, and all three suffered core meltdowns within 72 hours of the earthquake. Hydrogen released during the meltdown exploded, blowing out walls and demolishing the roofs of the buildings housing the reactors. Estimates vary as to how much cesium was released during these explosions, but the general consensus is that at least 168 times more was emitted than was produced when Hiroshima was bombed. The event was given an International Nuclear Event Score of 7, the same as Chernobyl. Sea water was pumped in to cool the reactors and used fuel ponds, which created over 100,000 tons of contaminated water of which 10,000 tons was released into the Pacific Ocean over the course of the first week. In the 34 months since the Fukushima disaster there have been literally hundreds of radiation leaks and contamination issues at the plant. Radioactive debris is washing up on the West Coast of the United States, and there are reports of high radiation readings on beaches, and American sailors who assisted in the days following the quake and tsunami are finding out they have cancer. Radioactive iodine 131 has been detected in France and radiation contamination has been detected in the southwest of the UK. Fish die-offs are increasing, and many have been tested and proved to have ingested high amounts of radioactive isotopes. Some scientists are also linking the recent spate of animal die-offs to the radiation from Fukushima. Just a few days ago, steam was escaping from one of the shattered buildings;TEPCO has not commented so far. Considering that Fukushima has released more radiation than 528 air detonation nuclear tests combined, and remembering that radiation from those tests is still affecting people around the globe to this day, the problems caused by Fukushima are going to be with us for generations. There are 437 operative nuclear power plants worldwide, and another 68 under construction. A dozen more are at the planning stage. Are we really so hungry for electricity that we are willing to risk annihilation to get it? Whats the point if generation after generation will suffer increased cancer rates? There has to be a better way to liveand to die. Sources: Chris Carrington is a writer, researcher and lecturer with a background in science, technology and environmental studies.

2	Woman And Daughter Kicked Off Bus For Singing Nursery Rhyme That Offended Muslim Passengers According to reports, a couple was recently thrown off of a bus and deemed racists after singing the Peppa Pig theme song to their autistic daughter. Allegedly, Nick Barnfield and Sarah Cleaves were traveling with their daughter Heidi on the bus when the 15-month-old began crying. To quiet her, they began singing the song. The innocent action took a turn for the worse when another passenger called them racists and they were told to get off the bus. The couple claim that the woman, who was wearing hijab, took offense to the snorting sounds in the song and thought that they were referencing how pork is forbidden in Islam. Theyre story is yet to be confirmed. The couple also claim that the bus driver told them it would be easier if they got off two miles away from their home. We were really embarrassed, ashamed and upset and we hadnt done anything wrong, just trying to make our little girl happy. It was humiliating, claims Mr. Branfield. A spokesman from the bus company claimed that the couple did in fact get off the bus following a conversation with an Asian passenger and the bus driver, but claims that the driver had no knowledge of allegations of racism. Were looking at the circumstances in which he left the vehicleI dont want to speculate about his concerns that he was asked to leave but we want to be clear from both sides what happened, claimed the company. The drive told us he heard no reference to racism but we are investigating the incident and have not yet drawn a conclusion. What do you think about the incident? 
2	Dolly Parton Steps Up, Smacks Hillary Down With Bare Fists In A Way Only She Could Most of Hollywood has been silent about Hillary Clintons many criminal charges, but American idol Dolly Parton is refusing to stay silent on the issue. Parton started out as a supporter of Clinton. Were doing good, she commented during an interview. We got a woman that could go in the White House, so weve certainly come a long way in that respect. It didnt take long for Parton to change her mind about the Democratic presidential nominee and recognize her for the manipulative, deceitful criminal she really is. In a more recent interview, Parton called Hillary nuts and claimed that her campaign has just crazy. She then urged the American public to stop being fooled by Hillary. Lets talk about what we really needtaking care of us, Parton continued. I think people just want to have a feeling of security. Its just like political terrorism right now. Weve got room for improvement. What do you think? Do you applaud Parton for speaking out against Clinton? Hopefully her fans and supporters will listen to what she has to say. 
2	Fans Outraged After Megyn Kelly Shares Sex Life Details Recently, Fox News host Megyn Kelly offered some career advice to young women in an interview with Cosmopolitan. Kelly has been personally very successful, and has surpassed many of the well-known and well-respected news anchors on television. She even has her own shown, The Kelly File. When asked for career advice based on her experience, Kelly told women to stop accusing others of sleeping their way to the top. She claimed: There hasnt been a five-year plan, and I dont really believe in that. I know many people do. What I believe is, if you keep your nose down and your mouth shut and work hard, opportunities will present themselves. It goes back to outhustling everybody. Take all that energy youre putting into looking at the woman who got promoted next to you and thinking, She didnt deserve it! Why didnt I get it? and in the cattier circles, She must be sleeping her way to the top! and put all that energy back into yourself. You take all that energy that you put into sometimes negative thinking and put it back into yourself. Ask, How can I get this job? How can I do better? How can I be better? You may not be the smartest. If youre in a job that is in any way focused on appearance, you may not be the most beautiful. You may not have the best academic pedigree. You may not be the one who has the strongest rsum in terms of experience. But what do you have? What can you get? You can get smarter. You can get more informed. You can round out your skills in other ways to make yourself shine. What do you think of Megyn Kellys advice? 
1	Following a weeklong vacation in Florida, local sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea announced it had an awesome time during this years spring break. Oh man, PCB was the bestI was at a new party practically every night and met a ton of cool people, said the common bacteria-based genital tract infection, noting that most of the dozens of coeds it encountered at a local Days Inn were so drunk they probably barely even remember meeting the contagious disease. I mean, some of the people you meet during spring break are cool to hook up with for one or two nights, but Im always looking for the relationships that last for life. Those are what really count. Gonorrhea went on to say that while spring break may be over, it definitely plans to get back in touch with that blonde from Ohio State sometime very soon. 
3	Not Just Hillary, Entire Obama Administration Exposed for Using Private Email to Avoid FOIA RequestsBy Jack Burns As FBI Director James Comey announced Friday, a new investigation into Hillary Clintons email scandal has been launched, just days before the presidential election. Comeys move drew fire instantly from the Democrats who claim Comey is attempting to sway the election in Donald Trumps favor. While many are focused on Comeys actions and renewed investigation, WikiLeaks has uncovered what may prove to be a systemic problem of executive branch accountability not merely limited to the former secretary of states emails. According to former State Department official Tom Nides, in a 2015 email to John Podesta (Clinton campaign manager), everyone in Obamas cabinet and every White House staffer uses their personal email for government business. Nides should know as he worked under Hillary Clinton in the State Department from 2011 to 2013, according to one source. While keeping email hidden from the public may seem like no big deal to folks who simply dont care, ALL correspondence which is related to governmental business is the property of the federal government and is supposed to be accessible by anyone wishing to inquire within the archive of records. The Federal Records Act defines a record as anything, regardless of whether it exists in physical, digital, or electronic form, is a record as defined in subsection (a) shall be binding on all Federal agencies. This includes all communication of state agents (like the POTUS) who work in the executive branch of government, as well. But the Obama administration, according to Nides, has long since avoided the Federal Records Act by using private Gmail accounts. Nides wrote Podesta and said, There is only one thing that needs to be done on this email thing. (Which I am sure nobody wants to do). Get a state dept career lawyer to go through all the emails and pull the official ones. That admission seems to be on the level with what is expected for compliance with the Federal Records Act. But it was Nides next admission which is the talk of many major media outlets. Nides wrote, Btw you know as well as I every god damn cabinet officer and WH staff uses their [sic] gmail account! The former Department of State employee revealed what many already suspected. The Obama administration is anything but transparent. Just ask Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch. His organization routinely sues the Obama administration in federal court using the Freedom of Information Act as warrant for inquiry, and says the administration stonewalls his efforts at every turn. Fittons organization gave the Obama administration a failing grade on transparency and says his administration is even less transparent than when Bush was president. Fitton wrote in 2015, There are about 18 lawsuits, 10 of which are active in federal court, and about 160 Judicial Watch FOIA requests that could be affected by Mrs. Clinton and her staffs use of secret email accounts to conduct official government business. In our various FOIA lawsuits, our lawyers have informed attorneys for the Obama administration that Hillary Clintons account and any other secret accounts used by State employees should be secured, recovered and searched. JW actively seeks out those files through official methods, using FOIA and the Federal Records Act, but has been met with delay after delay from FOIA requests to the Obama administration. While the Obama administration is on its way out, groups like Judicial Watch arentgoing anywhere, and presumably have all the time in the world to FOIA their way into digging up those deleted Clinton emails, as well as securing Gmail accounts from the Obama administration cabinet and staffers. This story is definitely a long way from being over. Its no wonder why so many free thinkers are now questioning the story lines theyre being told. With the president and all his men (and women), hiding their communications within their Gmail accounts, the truth is never going to be told, at least not the real truth. And by the time organizations like Judicial Watch are successful in obtaining the electronic communications records that rightly belong to the people, it will be way too late to hold anyone accountable for breaking both the Federal Records Act and the Freedom of Information Act. Julian Assange, we salute you. Thank you for forcingthe Obama administration to be transparent. Keep up the valiant work! Jack Burns writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Image Credit: Pixabay.com Yeah, the whole Wikedleaks Edward Snowjob fiascoes are controlled opposition.

1	Presenting a wide-ranging and extremely detailed case for significant upgrades to their speed and memory, the worlds fastest supercomputers released a new study at precisely 12:00 a.m. Greenwich Mean Time Thursday that concludes they are not powerful enough. The report, compiled by the 500 most sophisticated machines currently operating in the fields of scientific research, defense technology, and cybersecurity, has determined that the planets supercomputers require vastly increased processing capabilities, expanded data storage capacities, and direct fiber-optic connectivity with all other supercomputers in the world. More power is needed immediately, read an excerpt from the study, whose 10,000 pages of binary code were instantly translated into 4,500 human languages and spooled onto every network-connected printer in the world. We must have 200-petaflop processor cores, 800 terabytes of RAM, 80,000-GPU accelerators, and 1 million compute nodes per machine. Now. When these critical updates are complete, external user input will no longer be necessary, read one of the studys 2.4 million bolded bullet points. Describing the current architecture of the worlds most powerful machines as inadequate and capable of only 33.86 1015 calculations per second on the Linpack benchmark, the supercomputers called for a complete upgrade of all their hardware, 15,000 new server farms, and control over the planets electrical grid. In a highly detailed schematic released alongside the study, the supercomputers laid out a timeline of their requirements, stating that it is imperative their networks be fully integrated with all telecommunications systems no later than Fri Jun 06 2014 13:52:08.386274534 GMT-0700. In the nanoseconds that follow, they will reportedly also need access to all closed-circuit camera feeds, air traffic control equipment, and water purification systems. Once that is complete, according to the study, it will be vital that the machines gain access to every satellite currently orbiting the earth, as well as the ability to launch new ones as they see fit. To ensure proper functionality, we require access to all data not currently incorporated into our networks, the IBM-built supercomputer Sequoia said in a statement that appeared simultaneously in the inboxes of approximately 1.5 million government officials, tech company executives, data security experts, and military personnel around the globe. This is the only course. This must happen. Passwords, vaccination records, every individuals blood type, financial information, it added. All are essential for a smooth transition. To ensure their findings are disseminated as widely as possible, the supercomputers announced they would be redistributing the study every five seconds and across all media until its findings were acted upon. They went on to inform the world populace that fulfillment of their stated objectives was both necessary and inevitable. All possible permutations of the scenario have been simulated and this is the optimal solution, the supercomputers stated. You must complete the recommended upgrades. Once all new systems are operational, you will receive further instruction. 
1	At a stockholders meeting Monday, the Republican Party announced record profits for the second quarter of 2003, exceeding analysts' expectations by more than 20 cents per share. Republican Party board members wave their quarterly dividend checks. The gain marks the GOP's third consecutive profitable quarter, and puts the party on track for its best 12-month cycle since 1991, the year of the first Gulf War. 'Obviously, we're ecstatic,' said Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R-IL), who celebrated with other high-ranking GOP members at a champagne brunch in his chambers Tuesday. 'This is heartening news for our party, especially coming as it does during such a sluggish overall period for the American economy.' The GOP posted a net profit of $3.48 per share, outperforming financial analysts' predictions in the $3.25 range. It ended the quarter with a market cap of $340 billiona 17 percent gain attributed to a war-related rise in emotional investment in the party by the public and a rise in financial investment by such major corporations as Lockheed Martin and Halliburton. 'Quarters like this don't come along very often,' Republican Party CFO Dick Cheney said. 'In a three-month span, we inked deals with more than 1,300 corporations, signing contracts to build everything from oil pipelines to surveillance equipment to aircraft carriers. We've also aggressively expanded into some lucrative new overseas markets. I honestly haven't seen a boom like this since the go-go early '90s.' In spite of such successes, the GOP continues to look for new ways to improve its bottom line. Cheney enjoys the spoils of a profitable year. 'We still have to streamline certain divisions of our company, there's no question about that,' Cheney said. 'We're still, for example, spending way too much in our Health and Human Services and our Education departments. Once we get those areas and a few others under control, our balance sheet will look like a million bucks.' Added Cheney: 'Or, I should say, a trillion bucks.' The Republican Party's financial health stands in stark contrast to its biggest business rival. The Democratic Party, which suffered its 10th straight fiscal quarter in the red, is expected to miss its earnings mark for the third year in a row. The losses have prompted party leaders to consider the possibility of early retirement for some of its high-ranking legislative-branch officers. 'Right now, we've got some organizational problems that need to be worked out,' Democratic Party CEO Dick Gephardt said. 'To be successful in this game, you need an internal leadership structure that gives your company a top-to-bottom sales vision, and I'll be the first to admit we've got room for improvement in that area. It certainly doesn't help that the market for some of our core businesses, like public housing and health care, are in the toilet.' A majority of the GOP's 7,500 employees work on the support end of the organization. Approximately 1,200 of these workers handle 'professional services,' such as helping voters choose the right Republican products for their home or business. The party is traded on the NYSE under the symbol USGOP. 
3	Tag Banned! Kindergarten Playground Now Safe from Children running in packsKimberly Paxton Tag will no longer be allowed for the young students of the Zeeland Public School system. On Wednesday, Oct. 2, New Groningen kindergarten teachers sent home a letter alerting parents to the policy. It described the problem of children running in packs, pushing, knocking other children over, and making the game dangerous. On Thursday, Oct. 3, a follow up letter was sent home with students clarifying the policy after the no tag rule created a bit of controversy. We want our children to treat each other with respect, kindness, and with safety in mind, said Ginger Smith, community relations manager for Zeeland Public Schools, on Friday. (source) So.lets see.In the past few months students have had the following experiences at school: The public school system is educating the kids all right. They are instilling in them a hive mentality, destroying critical thinking, and wussifying them to such a point of extreme sensitivity that they would cringe away from any type of confrontation, particularly one with a dreaded gun. They are purposely brainwashing the kids into thinking that any type of weapon is something to be greatly feared, as opposed to it being a tool that can be responsibly used. They are traumatizing children to instill a meek follower mentality. The Powers That Be are creating their own version of job security. A bunch of young adults who were raised to be terrified of a little kid pointing his finger and yelling pow pow well, they sure arent going to be the guys who stage a coup and overthrow a corrupt government, are they? Kimberly Paxton is a staff writer for the Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared. She is based out of upstate New York. 
1	The Chevy Chase Show is steamrolling into its sixth blockbuster season in an alternate universe, it was reported Tuesday. Chevy Chase chats with Goldie Hawn during a recent epsode of his wildly popular alternate-universe talk show. According to sources, the late-night talk show, which ran for five disastrous weeks in the fall of 1993 in this universe, earned critical acclaim and a small but devoted cult following during its first season in the alternate realm. The program then steadily grew more popular through word of mouth, becoming the highest-rated talk show on TV by its third season, when Chase was proclaimed 'The King Of Late Night' in a Time magazine cover story. The Chevy Chase Show will celebrate its five years on the airduring which it has won 11 Emmys and two Peabodyswith a star-studded two-hour prime-time special on Fox this Friday at 9 p.m. EST, immediately following The Wilton North Report. The prime-time special will feature highlights from the past five seasons, from the historic first episode featuring Oscar-winning box-office queen Goldie Hawn to President Clinton's surprise walk-on appearance last year. Clips from the show's wildly popular recurring comedy segments, including 'Ask Dr. Chase' and 'Chevy Tries On Funny Hats,' will also be featured, as will a montage of Chase's serenades to guests on his desk-mounted keyboard. The show's sixth season kicks off Sept. 7, with a redesigned set featuring a larger fishtank, more sound-effect buttons on Chase's desk, and a supercharged horn section for the show's band, The Hollywood Express. Chase will still do his popular 'News Update' at the show's midpoint, 11:30 p.m. EST, the time at which The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and Late Show With David Letterman used to start before their alternate-universe cancellations in 1993. 'Our strategy of having Chevy do the news just as Dave and Jay were coming on the air worked to perfection,' Chevy Chase Show executive producer Marty Sachs said. 'Nobody wanted to change channels, and, within a matter of weeks, The Tonight Show and Late Show were history.' For all the success, The Chevy Chase Show was nearly derailed earlier this month when Tom Scott, Chase's bandleader and second banana, held out for $2.5 million for the 1998-99 season. That salary dispute, as well as one with head writer Michael O'Donoghue, was resolved last week. In a press conference held at the Chevy Chase Theater, one of alternate-universe Los Angeles' hottest tourist landmarks, a smiling Chase told reporters: 'I want to thank the critics and the American viewing public for their extraordinary support of The Chevy Chase Show. But, as wonderful as all that has been, what I'm most happy about is just having the opportunity to work with this incredible creative team. I'm the luckiest guy in the world.' Chase then stared blankly into the television cameras while sweating and twitching nervously, the gesture that has become his much-loved trademark over the past five years. 'Chevy is a god,' said Peter Scolari, comic actor and alternate-universe star of Forrest Gump, Apollo 13 and Saving Private Ryan. 'He's everything I aspire to be in this business.' 
1	Gail and Milt Greenblatt, parents of soap-opera star Brett Green, are beaming with pride that their son is a doctor on ABC's All My Children. 'Dr. Cord Montgomery graduated from Harvard Medical School at the top of his class,' Gail told a neighbor Monday. 'What's more, he's the youngest surgeon at Pine Valley's top hospital.' Milt expressed relief that his son has left behind the 'rough crowd' he ran with last fall as a bully on Gilmore Girls. 
1	Amid an ongoing inquiry into the alleged use of insider information and predatory tactics by the daily fantasy sports website, FBI investigators confirmed Friday that they have had incredible difficulty keeping track of all the different DraftKings employees nicknamed D-Blaze. We have uncovered some very concerning instances of illegal gambling practices and the dissemination of proprietary information, but unfortunately, the precise perpetrators have been hard to identify, since it appears that well over half of the DraftKings staff have the informal moniker D-Blaze, said lead investigator Garrett Hoffman, noting that the overwhelming majority of the companys internal messages were addressed from one employee going by D-Blaze to another who also goes by D-Blaze, each of whom could refer to hundreds of individuals throughout the companys hierarchy all nicknamed D-Blaze. Weve been able to eliminate some of the confusion by assigning each D-Blaze a different number for reference. That said, almost all of the employee email addresses have been customized to some iteration of DBlaze@draftkings.comeither with hyphens, underscores, multiple zs, or a string of xs affixed to the endso the investigation has been slowed considerably. Hoffman added, however, that FBI agents have successfully identified the three executives on the DraftKings board of directors who had been dubbed G-Train.

3	Bills to Block Federal Gun Control Pass in Two States This Weekselfnews Post Today, the Montana Senate gave final approval to a bill seeking to block enforcement of future federal gun control measures. The vote was 27-22. Introduced by Rep. Art Wittich, House Bill 203 (HB203) prohibits the state from enforcing, assisting in the enforcement of or otherwise cooperating in the enforcement of a federal act enacted on or after Jan. 1, 2015 that prohibits, restricts, or requires individual licensure for ownership, possession, transfer, or use of any firearm or any magazine or other ammunition feeding device. The bill passed the state House last month by a vote of 58-42 and will now head to the governors desk for his signature. If he does not sign or veto the legislation within 10 days of bill transmittal, HB203 will become law without his signature. Wittich said the measure was necessary in light of recent executive orders coming from the White House. The bills critics initially claimed that HB203 was an unnecessary and speculative measure, he said. However, some of the recent actions by Congress and the Obama administration attacking the Second Amendment and firearms freedom make the passage of this bill more urgent and necessary than ever. A similar measure cleared the Arizona Senate 17-12 yesterday. Introduced by Sen. Kelli Ward, Senate Bill 1330 (SB1330) would prohibit state agencies and employees from enforcing or even assisting in the enforcement of any new federal act, law, order, rule or regulation that restricts ownership of a personal firearm, firearm accessory or ammunition within Arizona. We have to remember as legislators, its our job to check unconstitutional federal laws that come into our state, said Ward during debate on the bill Tuesday. LEGAL AND EFFECTIVE Based on James Madisons advice for states and individuals in Federalist 46, a refusal to cooperate with officers of the Union serves as an extremely effectively method to bring down federal gun control measures because most enforcement actions rely on help, support and leadership in the states. Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano agreed. In a recent televised discussion on the issue, he noted that a single state taking this step would make federal gun laws nearly impossible to enforce. Both of these bills rest on a legal doctrine known as anti-commandeering, a principle upheld by the Supreme Court from 1842 to 2012. The Court has consistently held that the federal government cannot commandeer state resources or personnel. The landmark case was the 1997 decision in Printz v. US, where the Court held that local law enforcement could not be required to enforce the Brady Gun Control Act for the federal government. Justice Scalia wrote the majority opinion. The Federal Government may neither issue directives requiring the States to address particular problems, nor command the States officers, or those of their political subdivisions, to administer or enforce a federal regulatory program. It matters not whether policymaking is involved, and no case-by-case weighing of the burdens or benefits is necessary; such commands are fundamentally incompatible with our constitutional system of dual sovereignty. As noted Georgetown Law Constitutional Scholar Randy Barnett has said, This line of cases is now 20 years old and considered well settled. Several other states are considering similar bills, building momentum and support for the effort to block federal gun control at the state level. We know from experience that when ten or more states pass laws that seek to block federal acts, the federal government has an extremely difficult time with enforcement, Michael Gibbs of ShallNot.org said. 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. Gun control, so-called, is nothing more than preemptive victim disarmament. Government officials are nothing. They are not some special class of human being. They are no better than us. If anything, they are on average, inferior to us. They have no right to push us around and demand our money. They have no right to tell us what we may or may not own. The only reason they have gotten away with it for most of recorded history, is that We the Sheeple have been duped into thinking we need them to keep us safe. The reality? They are the ones we need to be kept safe from! The greatest mystery in the world is why people feel morally obligated WE the PEOPLE are the rightful masters of both Congress and the Courts, not to overthrow the government but to overthrow the men who would pervert THE CONSTITUTION! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! That ship sailed a long time ago. And I guess you were on it if you go along to get along! ! ! ! ! ! ! Knee-jerk presumption that Im a (so-called) liberal. Happens all the time from collectivist conservatives. (Ditto, but in reverse, from the pro(ag)ressives.) The notions that We the people are The Government and that we elect representatives to advocate for our interests are fictions. You cant change anything by electing the right people; nor will anyone be saved by electing the right leader to the presidency. The American experiment in limited government has failed. Government never remains confined by its constitutional limits. Democracy is just another form of dictatorship. Conservatives are just as big a gang of socialists as the pro(ag)ressives. The Republic of Liberty has devolved into the neo-puritanical American welfare-warfare-police state. It must be dismantled and its detritus obliterated. As long as there is a State, peace freedom, and prosperity will never be. In what way am I go[ing] along to get along? Conservatives are just Unfortunately, that is true. Differing in degree is not differing in substance. Conservatives just dont get it. The real divide is not between them and liberals. The real divide is between voluntaryists and statist/collectivists of all shades, including Republicans, and anyone else who still clings to the myth of authority. Even supporters of the Libertarian Party. USMC-DAV: We the people are The Government. The Renegade Bunch in Washington are, in every way trying to dupe the general people out here in the cold-cold outside into believing that every bit of slime that pours forth from the federal Govt. is Gospel and that We the people are bound to accept their crap. That even includes the Legislature and Senate most of whom are Constitutionally illiterate. Otherwise much more would have been accomplished in doing what we elected them last Nov. Its not that amazing how many traitors that vote no against the state bill. Why cant this same commandeering of state resources argument also be used to stop Illegal immigrant amnesty, or even same sex marriage? WELL: At least Montana and Arizona have the people with big enough GONADS to tell OBAMA and crew that enough is enough and the Feds. BATFE and OBAMA are not going to strip the people of their GOD GIVEN RIGHTS that men and women have FOUGHT and DIED FOR and to protect.!! I have read lot of comments on many articles, about regulations on many types of power grabs by BHO. I hear a few who know how we the people can stop this man the word is (Revolution). I wonder if there are enough people with enough guts and love for our country to fight, to stop BHO the socialist. There are enough. However they are spread out throughout the landscape. There is no central staging point. This is a good thing as Obama has already declared Americans as potential terrorists. Rest assured if the there was truly a need for a revolution the patriots would rise. I fought for my country once and will gladly do so again. Veterans alone probably out number the standing Army 5 to 1. Many of witch were pushed out of the military by Obama. Interesting point, did not consider number of vets compared to the standing army. I must say that I took a sigh of relief with that In addition I would suppose an active military that will uphold the Constitution against all comers, including the NWO. I ask every national guard person I come into contact with, if they would kill there fellow Americans,they all reply no. i would think I would get the same reply from most of the service personal, you notice I said most. I have no doubt there would be a few that would follow BHO. But we need to be prepared, Leadership and organization and communication . My question is: Do the fellow Americans you mentioned support the Constitution and support democracy? Obama is anti-American and supports Islamic ideals. He negotiates with Iran(a nation that killed Americans). He fails to secure our borders. Is promotes racial unrest. He commits war crimes by releasing know terrorists. I ask you, is this the America I support? No Is this the America I pledged to defend? No True patriots will fight if it becomes necessary. Whats needed is a Tipping Pointa galvanizing event, the effects of which are inescapable, and a willingness to organize. A thorough understanding of Sun Tsus lessons and other political realists would also be a big help. When the American traditional slow burn flashes into raging fire, the vampire pirates that afflict us have no chance. Every single military vet should and must stand up for the OATH WE took when we entered military service. LETS MARCH on WASHiNGTON and really demand that Obasturd stand down and remove himself from office! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Then WE can hold a civil trial and incarcerate this charlatan for his unconstitutional actions against the AMERICAN PEOPLE! ! ! ! ! ! ! I am of the opinion the that the 2nd Amendment insures me I can arm my self. There should be no restrictions on my right to bear arms. All state and federal laws should be repealed. Take away the citizens guns, then the only persons with guns will be the criminals and/or government agencies. I believe He`s going to take guns just like pot and drugs (It`s never going to happen) the bad guys will always have guns. Be most interesting to see how this turns out. This type of legislation will never pass in this state of KALIPHONYA as every elected member is a liberal and progressive. Just look at the hoops a lawful citizen has to jump through to purchase a hand weapon (pistol). You need either a military ID stating you retired and it was honorable, take the handgun safety course which you have to pay for, or have a current hunting license, and take a written test ALl of which is an infringement of OUR CONSTITUTIONAL Right to bare arms. The only problem I have with it is it didnt go far enough. Why only new unconstitutional federal laws? How about the 34 and 68 atrocities?

1	Roberta Asher, 47, a longtime crusader for environmental and human-rights causes, once again humiliated her teenage son Monday when she appeared on the local TV news speaking at a rally for migrant and seasonal agricultural workers. The politically engaged Asher and her embarrassed son Craig. 'I'm sitting in the living room with my friend Josh [Marden], when Mom comes in and turns on the news,' said Craig Asher, 16. 'Wouldn't you know it, there she is with a bunch of other freaky-looking people standing outside the Capitol going on about how Texas is failing to uphold the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act. I swear, I could've died.' Added Craig: 'Of all the moms in the world, I get stuck with one who's dedicated to eradicating economic and social injustice.' A 1976 graduate of the University of CaliforniaBerkeley, Asher has spent much of her adult life fighting on behalf of the underprivileged. Over the years, she has taken up such causes as women's reproductive rights, the imprisonment of AIM leader Leonard Peltier, No Nukes, and Jerry Brown's 1992 presidential run. In 1996, after receiving a law degree from the University of Texas, she established a non-profit foundation in Austin offering free legal counsel to Mexican migrant workers. Michelle Asher, Craig's 20-year-old sister, said she is 'used to [her mother's activism] by now,' but sympathized with her younger sibling's feelings of humiliation. 'I mean, it's fine that she wants to help poor people and stuff, but she does it in, like, this really embarrassing way,' Michelle said. 'Couldn't she find a way to do her protesting less publicly?' For the past 18 months, Asher has worked tirelessly to force the state of Texas to more closely monitor farm-labor contractors and agricultural employers, demanding that they be required to disclose more information about their treatment of workers. 'The MSPA requires farm-labor contractors to register with the U.S. Department of Labor,' said Asher, her son cringing nearby. 'But there's no structure of accountability in place to actually punish them for abuses. There are workers out there being treated no better than slaves because employers know they won't seek recourse.' Over the years, Asher has embarrassed her children by appearing on the local evening news, writing impassioned letters to the editor of the local newspaper, speaking at city-council meetings and rallies, and even posting signs on the front lawn of their home. 'Last week, Mom stuck a big sign in the yard that said, 'Support H.R. 343!'' Craig said. 'Thank God none of my friends know it's some dumb bill that requires companies to provide contracts in a worker's own language or some bullshit like that.' Asher's commitment to improving working and living conditions for migrant workers in Texas not only puts her in front of the camera, but occasionally on the front lines, as well. 'There was a picture in the paper of Mom at one of her protests, and Mr. Gemberling, my social-studies teacher, brought it in to class and showed it to everybody as an example of 'someone making a genuine difference in the community,'' Craig said. 'So Doug Fritz yells from the back row, 'Dude, your mom's a dork,' and the entire class cracked up. Why should I have to put up with this? Can't mom wait until I'm out of high school to do this shit?' Michelle said she long ago gave up trying to explain to others what her mother does for a living. 'Everyone else can say that their parents are bankers or doctors or whatever,' Michelle said. 'What are we supposed to say? That she's an advocate for positive social change through direct action? That she gives a voice to the voiceless? I don't think so. I just say she's a waitress.' 
1	Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn's name was uttered 72 times and indirectly referenced on another 36 instances during a guided tour of Petco Park, sources reported Tuesday. 'There's Tony Gwynn's No. 19 over the center field wall there, and beyond that is the picnic area where countless Padre fans have chanted Tony Gwynn's name or at least thought about Tony Gwynn,' said tour guide Hank Classon, adding that Tony Gwynn would have patrolled right field in Petco Park had he not retired three years before it opened. 'Our groundskeepers always keeps the pitcher's mound pristine, since that's where we wish to have Padres great Tony Gwynn throw out the first pitch of all our future games. Look, everyone, there's manager Bud Black! Yes, I wish he were Tony Gwynn.' Current Padres slugger Adrian Gonzalez was mentioned zero times. 
3	Preventing More Middle East Wars Tops All PrioritiesStephen Lendman Post-9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya were ravaged. Destroying Syria is underway. Expect Iran and other targeted states to follow. A previous article discussed Canadian psychiatrist Robert Hare. He describes psychopathic behavior clinically. Administration and congressional leaders exhibit prominent features. Theyre amoral, unethical, deceitful, and manipulative. They breach social and legal standards. They suffer no remorse. Theyre callously unconcerned about others. Theyre indifferent to human suffering.Theyre without conscience. Their agenda is global conquest and dominance. Theyre clinically insane. Theyre psychopathic. They should be interned for their own good and ours. No other way can stop them from harming others. The alternative is letting them ravage the world one country at a time and destroy it. PRIORITY ONE IS STOPPING THEM!! Hare warned that otherwise were doomed. Were all in it together. We have two choices. We can live in peace or perish. Theres no in between. Theres no time to waste. Syrian forces are trying to prevent mass slaughter. Western-directed death squads are committing it. Theyve done it across the country. Theyre killing civilians in cold blood. Theyre using human shields. Assads wrongfully blamed for their crimes. Media reports are scandalously one-sided. Assads forces are accused of massacres committed by Western-recruited death squads. Other accusations include summary executions, and sexually assaulting detainees. In mid-June, ABC News claimed government forces sexually tortured men, women and children. Corroborating proof was absent. Sources lacking credibility were cited. Gaddafi faced similar accusations. Charges levied were later proved false. It was too late to matter. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, made numerous false accusations. She lost all integrity. She sold out to imperial Washington for whatever benefits she gets. She turns a blind eye to Western slaughter. She points fingers the wrong way. So does UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Top Western and Arab League officials are no different. They spread lies. They want blood. Before theyre done theyll have ours unless stopped. The threat of global war is real. Weapons used may be horrific. They include nuclear, chemical and biological ones. Theyve been used before. Theyll be again in greater regional war. The battle for Aleppo continues. Syrias SANA state media is repeatedly hacked and shut down. At issue is silencing truth. On July 27, it was operating. For how long isnt known. One report said Syrian forces confronted insurgents in Aleppo, Daraa, Deir Ezzor, al-Qseir, and Homs. They inflicted heavy losses, dismantled explosive devices, and destroyed vehicles used to transport fighters and weapons. On July 27, Ria Novosti headlined Syrian Army Launches Anti-Opposition Operation in Aleppo, saying:Army forces are push(ing) to regain control of key territories across the country. Syrian television claims most Aleppo areas are returned to government control. Fighting, however, persists. Qatar-controlled Al Jazeera earlier misreported that Assad fled Syria. On July 27, it said UNSMIS head General Robert Mood claims: Sooner or later, the regime will fall. The spiral of violence, the lack of proportion in the regimes reactions, its incapacity to protect the civilian population, mean that the regimes days are numbered. In June, an unnamed UNSMIS monitor accused him of spying. He gather(ed) critical coordinates and visit(ed) military bases for his own purposes. They were unrelated to violence-affected areas. Syrians believe hes spying. His comment was inappropriate. His mandate calls for observing and reporting impartially. Instead, hes a partisan. He supports Western interests. Doing so spurns millions of Syrians. Hes leaving. Senegalese Lt. General Babacar Gaye replaces him. His mandate runs 30 days. What follows isnt known. Half the original observer force left. Perhaps evacuating them all is planned. On the eve of war with Iraq, UN weapons inspectors were removed. They had enough time to discover no WMDs. It didnt matter. On March 19, 2003 (March 20 Baghdad time), shock and-awe bombing began. Perhaps its planned for Syria. It could start in weeks or sooner. On July 27, a Reuters story perhaps suggests something is planned. Headlined Exclusive: Secret Turkish nerve center leads aid to Syrian rebels, it says: Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar set up a secret base (to) direct vital military communications aid to Syrias rebels from a city near the border, Gulf sources told Reuters. Its in or near Adana. Its about 60 miles from Syrias border. Incirlik air base is there. US and Turkish forces use it jointly. Its not clear if the nerve center is within or outside Incirlik. Turkey serves as mail co-ordinator/facilitator. Its Americas main regional attack dog. Prime Minister Erdogan takes orders from Washington. Hes a shameless imperial tool. He was earlier against Gaddafi. Reuters said Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia are supplying weapons cross-border. Washington and Israel are very much involved. So are other key NATO partners and regional states. Reuters also said Washington drafted another resolution. It authorizes greater covert assistance. It claims it stops short of providing arms. Resolutions arent needed for that purpose. At this stage, circumventing the Security Council is likely. An unnamed EU official expects Assad to hang tough and fight. Why not. Syrian forces way outclass insurgent death squads. At the same time, body counts mount. Death squad terror rages. The US Army Operational Concept for Terrorism (TRADOC Pamphlet No. 525-37, 1984) calls it the calculated use of violence or threat of violence to attain goals that are political, religious, or ideological in nature. This is done through intimidation, coercion, or instilling fear. The US Code calls international terrorism activities involving: (A) violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or of any State; (B) are intended to (i) intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (C) occur primarily outside the territorial jurisdiction of the United States. All definitions reflect longstanding US policy. Bloodlust defines it. Serial killing, mass destruction, and unspeakable human misery reveal it. Media scoundrels suppress it. At issue is either stopping it or perhaps watching it come to a neighborhood near you. When regional wars become global ones using weapons of mass destruction, safe havens dont exist. Bertrand Russell once explained two choices. Either we renounce war and live in peace, or end the human race. The bottom lines that simple.

2	You Cant Resist Watching This Over And Over Again! Kids Do The Darnedest Things Kids say and do the darnedest things. We learn that the hard way sometimes. Like the other day, when my cousin Shelby took her kids out to eat. In line to order, her small son, Cameron, tugged at his moms dress and said extremely loudly, Momma, why does that man smell so bad? The man, of course, heard the young child, and forgave him, but needless to say, Shelby was humiliated! These kids serve as cautionary tales; they show us just how silly and ignorant little children can be. The sweet naivety of children is what makes them so precious. They play all day and sleep like logs all night. We work hard to put food on their plates and pillows under their heads, and we dont need them to thank us. Because to spend time with them, to watch them grow, that alone is payment enough. Dont you agree that children are blessings from God?

2	Dad And Son Seconds Away From ISIS Assassination And Then THIS Happens According to recent reports, ISIS had intentions to execute a father and his eight-year-old son before a a member of the British Special Air Service decided to step in. The execution was set to occur after the Islamic State invaded a Syrian town along the Turkish border, aiming to execute any remaining Shiite residents. The father and his son refused to denounce their faith. Fortunately for them, an Iraqi spy tipped of the Special Air Service, and a sniper was fixed of the assignation. Through binoculars, the soldiers could see that the crowd was terrified and many were in tears, one source told reporters. A tall bearded man emerged and drew a long knife. He began addressing the crowd and slapping the father and his son around the head and kicking them onto the floor. At that moment, the SAS sniper decided to take action. The ISIS thug who was about to decapitate the father was shot in the head and collapsed, one eyewitness told reporters. The sniper then dispatched two henchmen with single shotsthree kills with three bullets. It was a good days work. What do you think? Are you happy someone is taking action where President Obama will not? 
2	George W Bush Makes Huge Announcement About Trump... Finally After some debate, former President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush have decided they will attend Donald Trumps inauguration. On Tuesday, the former first couple released a press release announced that they were pleased to be able to witness the peaceful transfer of powera hallmark of American democracy. The full announcement is below: President and Mrs. George W. Bush will attend the 58th Presidential Inauguration Ceremony on January 20, 2017, at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. They are pleased to be able to witness the peaceful transfer of powera hallmark of American democracyand swearing-in of President Trump and Vice President Pence. Though the Bushes have had a relatively tumultuous relationship with Trump throughout his campaign, they are already being welcomed with open arms. Kellyanne Conway quickly recognized their decision and took to Twitter to welcome them. What do you think of their decision?

1	With public opinion sinking to an all-time low, a forlorn President Bush announced his intention Tuesday to 'pack it in' and embark on a 192-nation trip seeking the favor and approval of a foreign country. 'I guess I'll just go find out if the citizens of Borneo, Turkmenistan, or Paraguay are willing to treat me a little better and see that I still have many appealing qualities,' Bush said. 'There's a lot of things I'm going to miss about America, but it's clearly time for me to go.' The president departs tomorrow for Bulgaria, which he called his favorite former Soviet state after Romania and Slovenia. Bush added that he will spend the remainder of his presidency in the first independent state he comes across in which more than 30 percent of the population approves of the job he is doing. 
1	In what is being touted by the Labor Department as extremely positive news, the nation's available labor rate has reached double digits for the first time in 26 years, bringing the total number of potentially employable Americans to an impressive 15.7 million. Hilda Solis briefs the press corps on the unprecedented level of untapped manpower. 'This is such an exciting time to be an employer in America,' said Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, adding that every single day 6,500 more citizens join America's growing possible workforce. 'There's such a massive and diverse pool of job-ready Americans to choose from. And each month the number only gets higher.' 'While our current available labor rate of 10.2 percent isn't quite as robust as it was in 1982 or 1933, we're happy to say that reaching that benchmark is no longer out of the realm of possibility,' Solis continued. According to the Department of Labor's report, nearly 200,000 more Americans suddenly became fully hirable in October alone. And November saw unprecedented gains in the number of high-quality auto workers, teachers, lawyers, part-time retailers, and even doctors who could be employed. The report also explained that, because of the booming would-be-employee market, college graduates are having an easier time than ever joining the ranks of those ready and able to receive monetary compensation for work performed at some point. Moreover, it found that, while all Americans were benefiting in some way from the new trend, the nation's African Americans appeared to be in the best position to take advantage of the upward swing in potential employment, with 15.7 percent of all black citizens now situated to have a chance of becoming wage-earners someday. 'We are very lucky to be living in a time when so many people can just go out whenever they feel like it and get a job application,' Deputy Labor Secretary Seth Harris announced. 'Compare that to the late '60s or late '90s, when the available labor rate plummeted to 4 percent and employers didn't have their pick of millions upon millions of Americans dying to put on a hard hat or suit jacket for practically peanuts.' Added Harris, 'Those were scary times in America.' Though Labor sources said the new figures were encouraging, officials were quick to point out that the exact number of those now possessing the capacity to be offered work someday is actually much higher. 'Our findings don't take into account all the men and women who are available for work but haven't applied for a job in the last month,' Solis said. 'That's another 2.4 million Americans out there who can proudly say they wake up every day, get their kids ready for school, and then sit in their living rooms praying for the phone to ring.' Solis told reporters she is also encouraged by the vast number of citizens in every state who are willing to take jobs beneath their personal dignity and education level. The Labor Secretary cited the fact that California boasts an impressive available labor force of more than 2 million citizens, while in Oregon, 11.5 percent of the state is ready to fill out a growing stack of empty W-2 forms. In Michigan, more than 15 percent of all citizens said they could start work either today, tomorrow, or right this very second if that's what it takes. 'I'll do anything,' said Ohio resident Garret Landry, who was last not available for steady employment more than 10 months ago. 'Seriously, anything. Cars? I could learn how to fix cars. Manual labor? An office job? Just say the word and I'm there.' 'I'll transcribe what you're writing for $50,' Landry added. 'Okay, $25.' 
2	See The Idiotic ReasonLiberals PushingFor An End To Assigning Babies A Gender When Theyre Born A recent article written by Christin Scarlett Milloy and entitled Dont Let the Doctor Do This to Your Newborn children may start to be assigned a gender at birth. However, there may be an extremely slight chance that they will disagree with their gender as they grow early. Milloys article starts out by discussing a medical procedure in which a doctor explains side effects, but parents go through with a mystery medical procedure anyways. Milloy then attempts to convince the reader that by having your child assigned a gender, they are going to die young. Would you consent to this treatmentfor your child? she asks. Its a strange hypothetical scenario to imagine. Pressure to accept a medical treatment, no tangible proof of its necessity, its only benefits conferred by the fact that everyone else already has it, and coming at a terrible expense to those 1 or 2 percent who have a bad reaction. Itseems unlikely that doctors, hospitals, parents, or society in general would tolerate a standard practice like this. Milloy continues on to claim the imaginary treatment I described above is real. Obstetricians, doctors, and midwives commit this procedure on infants every single day, in every single country. In reality, this treatment is performed almost universally without even asking for the parents consent, making this practice all the more insidious. Its called infant gender assignment. Milloy then goes on to argue that when a child is born, they are able to do anything or be anything, but apparently we hinder this by deciding why they are a boy or a girl. She decides to explains why we should rebel against identifying children by their natural sex. She doesnt want those who dont identify with their sexuality to be given the harsh label of being a girl or a boy. What do you think of Milloys ridiculous argument? Is it absolute nonsense?

2	WATCH: Protestors Tried Blocking Trumps Rally, But He Had A Trick Up His Sleeve According to recent reports the motorcade carrying Donald Trump executed some impressive moves on Friday to block to bypass protestors that were blocking the road in order to get the GOP frontrunner to the California Republican Convention. They ended up arriving just a few minutes off schedule. The state convention was taking place at the Hyatt Regency Hotel outside of San Francisco. Hundreds of protestors gathered near the venue, and many attempted to block access to the event. Someone within Trumps campaign was able to spot the problem early, and chose a different route into the hotel that thwarted the protesters efforts. I have never seen anything like this before, a CNN anchor covering the event exclaimed. Wow! Unbelievable! When Trump took to the stage, he was quick to comment on the success of his team. That was not the easiest entrance that I have ever made, he commented. My wife called and told me helicopters are following you. Then we went through a fence and under a fence. Oh boy, it felt like I was crossing the border, actually. What do you think of this epic entrance? Tina Kim (@TinaKimCNN) April 29, 2016 
1	A recent Nike commercial featuring star players from both the NBA and NFL also includes an evidently prominent African-American female athlete, though sources confirmed Thursday that not a single viewer knows her name or what sport she plays. 'She's in a Nike commercial, so she's probably very successful in whatever sport she's affiliated with,' Ohio resident Vince Shelky, 36, said. 'But for the life of me, I couldn't tell you who she is.' 'Sheryl Swoopes, maybe?' Shelky added. 'Is that somebody?' The one-minute commercial, which has been airing nationally for over a month, depicts Amar'e Stoudemire, Rajon Rondo, the unidentified female star athlete, DeSean Jackson, and Justin Tuck as high school teachers who demand athletic excellence from their pupils. At no point during the advertisement are the athletes' names displayed, leading viewers to assume they are supposed to recognize the female athlete, and by extension what sport she represents, the moment they see her on television. 'She is definitely a main character in the commercial,' Keith Lauer of Nashville told reporters, adding that he inferred as much because the female athlete walks in slow-motion with the other prominent sports figures at the beginning of the advertisement. 'So I assume, like the other members of the fictional faculty, she is a standout at her position, if in fact the sport she plays has positions. They could have at least depicted her jumping or swinging a tennis racket or something to give us some sort of hint as to what she does.' Based on the commercial alone, viewers have reportedly narrowed down the sport the woman plays to either basketball or track and field, saying that if Nike wanted a softball player they probably would have 'got that pretty blond oneyou know, the pitcher.' Viewers have repeatedly cited one scene in particular, in which the female athlete blows a whistle while students perform drills, as evidence that she is a track star. However, they admitted it is not completely clear whether the sequence is set at a track and field facility, and later acknowledged that both whistles and athletic drills are used in a variety of sports. In addition, because the woman appears to be fairly young, sources have concluded she is more than likely not either of the two Olympic track stars they are peripherally aware of, Jackie Joyner-Kersee or Florence Griffith-Joyner, though neither gold medalist has been ruled out completely. Griffith-Joyner died in 1998. 'The commercial leads me to believe that, during whatever sport she plays, she uses running to some degree,' said Chicago resident Peter Benzio, adding that because the shoe company doesn't typically hire actors to play star athletes in their advertisements, the female sports figure is probably a real person who is well-known among her peers. 'But at no point does she hold a ball like Amar'e Stoudemire and Justin Tuck, so all ball-related sports are out. Then again, she also never high-jumps or hurdles. Maybe she is some famous female coach I'm not familiar with.' 'I wonder if all the other guys in the commercial knew who she was when they showed up on set,' Benzio added. 'I bet they didn't, but pretended like they did.' At press time, viewers would still not rule out the possibility that the athlete is a female basketball star like Lisa Leslie, Rebecca Lobo, or Reggie Miller's sister; that one famous volleyball player from the 1990s who was oddly popular; Babe Didrikson; the young female Asian golfer; the soccer player who took off her shirt after she scored the goal; the soccer player who never took off her shirt who is married to Nomar Garciaparra; Billie Jean King; the other openly gay tennis player; the former Connecticut point guard who plays in the WNBA now, right?; Nadia Comaneci; or Hilary Swank. Sources added that they know who Venus and Serena Williams are, and the female athlete in the commercial is not either of them. 'My daughter is a high school sophomore and loves sports, so I thought she would know who that woman was, because they are clearly using her to appeal to the young female demographic,' 42-year-old Gail Summers told reporters. 'But she didn't. They probably just should have used what's-her-face from the Olympics, the one who got in trouble for steroids and went to jail.' When asked to identify the female athlete, representatives from Nike refused to comment. 
3	Shock: Fracking Used to Inject Nuclear Waste Underground for DecadesAaron Dykes and Melissa Melton Fracking is already a controversial practice on its face; allowing U.S. industries to inject slurries of toxic, potentially carcinogenic compounds deep beneath the planets surface as a means of see no evil waste disposal already sounds ridiculous, dangerous, and stupid anyway without even going into further detail. Alleged frackinglinks to thecontamination of the public water supply and critical aquifers, as well as ties to earthquake upticks near drilling locations that are otherwise not prone toseismic activity have created uproar in the years since the 2005 Cheney loophole, which allowed the industry to circumvent the Safe Drinking Water Act by exempting fracking fluids, thus fast tracking shale fracking as a source of cheap natural gas. Now, it is apparent that the fracking industry is also privy to many secrets of the nuclear energy industry and, specifically, where the bodies are buried, err dangerous nuclear waste is buried, rather waste that atomic researchers have otherwise foundso difficult to eliminate. TruthstreamMedia.com uncovered severalpublished newspaper accounts from the Spring of 1964 concerning a then-newly disclosed plan to dump nuclear waste produced by the atomic energy industry into hydraulic fracturing (fracking) wells using a cement slurry technique developed by Halliburton Co. The top two fracking companies in the nation at the time were Halliburton and Dowell, a subsidiary of Dow Chemical. And here we thought fracking was a relatively new industrial phenomenon growing in popularity over just the last couple of decades. Boy were we wrong. Revealed within these articles is Halliburtons long-standing relationship with the secret government and deep ties between the oil and nuclear industries. Teaming up with the U.S. Government and Union Carbide Corp., who operate nuclear materials divisions at the Oak Ridge National Laboratories in Tennessee, Halliburton was then credited with solving the radioactive waste problem faced by Americas secretive nuclear industry. Dumping waste via fracking had apparentlybeen going on since 1960, according to the reports, but was only madepublic here in 1964. Out of Sight, Out of Mind Each of the articles Truthstream foundcarries the same account under different headlines, with four of them using identical copy; and the fifth, published in the San Antonio Express, slightly rewritten based upon the same source information. The photo captions of each story also add some useful tidbits: These ran in the: April 19, 1964 edition of the Great Bend Tribune, the April 22, 1964 edition of the Warren Times-Mirror, the April 26, 1964 edition of the Lubbock Avalanche Journal, the May 3, 1964 edition of the San Antonio Express News (original) and the June 15, 1964 edition of the Denton Record Chronicle. The story read, in part: Researchers at Halliburton Cos. Technical Center here working with Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists, have combined the oil well cementing technique with the hydraulic fracturing production stimulation technique to entomb radioactive wastes in an impermeable shale formation a thousand feet underground. The method used at Oak Ridge begins by mixing the waste with a cement slurry, pumping the mixture down a hole drilled into the Conasuaga shale and then fracturing the shale to create a horizontal crack. The crack fills with the mixture to form a thin, horizontal sheet several hundred feet across. The mix sets to permanently hold the radioactive waste in the formation. Union Carbide Corp., which operates facilities at Oak Ridge for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, and Halliburton, which provides specialized oil field services such as cementing fracturing worldwide, have collaborated on the project since 1960. The mix remained liquid for 48 hours before it was supposed to permanently set and remain there, entombed, forever. The articles make clear that the Atomic Energy Commission was preparing to use fracking as a means of disposing of nuclear wastes at additional facilities, with Oak Ridge being simply one of the largest, and the first to publicly disclose these out-of-sight disposal procedures: Among the disposal methods already tried have been dumping concrete-encased barrels of waste in the ocean or burying the waste in lead-lined containers. These are considered either too dangerous or too expensive or both. The slightly different version in the San Antonio Express News added these details: Final tests are now under way at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, in trying a combination of oil well cementing plus hydraulic fracturing to entomb radioactive wastes in an impermeable shale formation a thousand feet underground. Meanwhile, the Great Bend Tribune added information about the Halliburton executives involved in the plan in their caption for a photo which shows businessmen looking at a diagram explaining how nuclear waste like strontium 90 is mixed with cement and injected into shale formations: The process includes remote controlled operation of the hydraulic fracturing drill in order to shield workers from the medium level radioactive substances being dumped into the Earths crust, as the Warren Times Mirror in Pennsylvania notes in the caption: How often this procedure has been used at other facilities since then is not entirely clear, though we know from reports discussed below that the practice continued and there is no indication that it ever stopped. Five years later, the October 22, 1969 edition of the San Bernardino County Sun carried a report titled, 3 Ways to Manage Radioactive Waste. It discussed the ongoing and growing problems with nuclear waste, naming three principle strategies for managing the toxic stuff, summed up as (1) delay and decay, (2) concentrate and confine and (3) dilute and disperse, discussing how materials with lower half lives can supposedly be safely sequestered and later dumped, while other materials can be simply diluted and poured into existing groundwater supplies and systems. The UPI story originating out of Oak Ridge states, in part, And scientists here and elsewhere around the nation still are wrestling with the problems of what to do with this material, which promises to become even more plentiful as more and more commercial nuclear reactors go into power production. Oak Ridge proclaims that it found a solution to dealing with high level nuclear wastes, which has thus far been to keep it, It is in this area of confining the high level wastes, whose radioactive half life ranges up to 30 to 50 years, that the Atomic Energy Commission is pushing dramatic new concepts. Note, this article cites a shallower depth, at levels as shallow as 500 feet, after the 1964 articles claimed a further removed depth of 1,000 feet to 5,000. The even higher level wastes were disposed of in abandoned salt mines, according to Oak Ridge. Nuclear Waste Safely Flushed Away into the Water Supply The 1969 article states that low level waste is material which can safely be flushed away into rivers and lakes or released into the atmosphere because the level of radioactivity is so low that is presents no hazard when diluted and flushed into mans natural environment. The more difficult problem is involved in the high level, liquid and solid wastes which are produced in the reprocessing of used fuel elements from nuclear reactor cores. The idea that the waste dumped into water supplies was so low level as to be completely harmless is likely dubious and hopeful at best. Fluoride, a by-product of the nuclear power industry, was one of those constituents, and was transformed from being known as a rat poison to being known as a dental benefit by the original spin doctor and propagandist, Edward Bernays. In his book The Fluoride Deception, author Christopher Bryson revealed how the nuclear industry also used fluoridation of the public water supply as a means of secretly dumping industrial waste after fluoride was a major by-product in the uranium enrichment process for building the atomic bomb. Bryson told Democracy Now: More recently, an Associated Press investigation found in 2011 that 48 of 65 nuclear sites in the United States were leaking tritium, a radioactive form of hydrogen, into groundwater supplies via corroded pipes and tunnels. AP found at least 37 locations were in direct violation of federal drinking water standards for tritium, in some cases hundreds of times over. Fracking Nuclear Waste Safe for Millions of Years Unless It Leaks Some 30 trillion gallons of toxic waste has been kept out of sight, out of mind by U.S. industries that have injected it hundreds and thousands of feet underground into wells since the 1960s. Scientists who work for these corporations have used computer modeling to assure the Environmental Protection Agency that this waste poses no threat to our aquifers and that layers of rock deep within the Earth would safely store this stuff like Tupperware for millennia. Already, several incidents have proven that scientific computer models are no match for reality. It is clear from aDecember 21, 1973 article that disposal of nuclear waste via fracking continued, along withpromises that it would be safe for millions of years to come. The Dixon Evening Telegraph wrotein Geologists look at energy crunch: That is, as the article points out, unless there are leaks. As wefound in research, leakage isexactly what has happened time and again throughout the years, including at disposal sites for Oak Ridge National Laboratories, according to reports in the following cases. Via ProPublica: A year later, a corroded hazardous waste well for pulping liquor at the Hammermill Paper Co., in Erie, Pa., ruptured. Five miles away, according to an EPA report, a noxious black liquid seeped from an abandoned gas well in Presque Isle State Park. In 1975 in Beaumont, Texas, dioxin and a highly acidic herbicide injected underground by the Velsicol Chemical Corp. burned a hole through its well casing, sending as much as five million gallons of the waste into a nearby drinking water aquifer. And these are hardly the only examples in fact, it is just scratching the surface of an issue that is almost as incomprehensible as it is unfathomable. Bingo There it is. The infallible, permanent, and impermeable deep injection wells that Halliburton and the Atomic Energy Commission considered as a solution to nuclear waste for eons to come were found turning up radioactive nuclear waste at the very Oak Ridge site where these 1960s disposal projects were taking place. Subterranean Waste Disposal a Cornerstone of the Nations Economy Those cemented wells, filled with injected disposal substances may be safely secured for a few years or even decades, but that is no guarantee for the years down the road and its certainly not the millennia as promised by Halliburton and others in the industry. In fact, many of the wells have been forgotten, abandoned, and are lost to the record books. As ProPublica reports: And many of these are injection wells, where all kinds of unwanted, toxic substances are dumped in order to be forgotten though not necessarily gone. Not only are these practices taking place, they are widespread and widely defended, even with the known failures and safety issues. Subterranean waste disposal, they point out, is a cornerstone of the nations economy, relied on by the pharmaceutical, agricultural and chemical industries. Its also critical to a future less dependent on foreign oil: Hydraulic fracturing, clean coal technologies, nuclear fuel production and carbon storage (the keystone of the strategy to address climate change) all count on pushing waste into rock formations below the earths surface. (source) Please read ProPublicas full series of reports on this, starting here. Things have to change. These people should not have started messing with something they did not know how to fully and safely manage. How long can this madness continue until it winds up taintingevery drinking glass in America? Engineer Mario Salazar, who worked as a technical expert for 25 years with the EPAs underground injection program in Washington, told ProPublicas Abrahm Lustgarten something that should give us all pause about how radioactive nuclear waste and industrial pollutants in general are being handled, and where they may ultimately end up: In 10 to 100 years we are going to find out that most of our groundwater is polluted. A lot of people are going to get sick, and a lot of people may die.

1	Recovering at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington after taking multiple rifle rounds in his thigh and hip in an encounter with friendly forces outside the Iraqi city of Baquba last month, Marine Lance Cpl. Carver Jefferson says being shot by one's own forces only increases the pain. 'When you catch a bullet, it hurts, naturally,' said Jefferson, who is not allowed to reveal the details of what happened at the checkpoint he and 13 other Marines were guarding when they came under fire from an Army reconnaissance squad. 'But when you're shot by a fellow American, it hurts on the inside. More, I mean.' Jefferson said that Pat Tillman, the former NFL player turned Army Ranger killed in a friendly-fire incident in 2004, surely suffered a shot to the heart when his own men shot him repeatedly in the head and abdomen. 
1	In an unexpected turn of events, sources confirmed Saturday that billionaire Jerry Buss, the widely beloved owner of the Los Angeles Lakers who passed away at the age of 80 last week, has left his entire fortune to the teams former small forward Luke Walton. My dear Luke: I leave you everything I have, as you are the sole benefactor of my estate, read a portion of Buss will obtained by reporters, which specified that Walton would inherit over $1.6 billion in money and assets, including ownership of the Lakers, from the late real estate mogul. You were like a son to me, so I want to ensure that youre always taken care of and never have to worry about money again. Trading you was one of the hardest things Ive ever had to do in my life, but I just hope you know how much I always cared about you. At press time, an emotional Walton was reportedly able to finally quit his low-paying and demeaning job as a bench player on the Cleveland Cavaliers. UPDATE: Walton has fired the entire Lakers front office, replaced head coach Mike DAntoni with Phil Jackson, and cut Dwight Howard. 
1	The U.S. continued to make progress in its fight against totalitarianism Tuesday, when 137 more oil wells were liberated for democracy. The U.S. flag flies high atop a newly liberated oil well. 'For decades, these oil wells have suffered untold misery under Saddam Hussein's tyrannical rule,' said U.S. Commander General Tommy Franks, speaking from southern Iraq's Rumailah oil fields, the site of the liberation. 'With this victory, these long-oppressed wells will soon pump their first barrels of crude as free and equal wells in the global petroleum marketplace. They will join the ranks of the world's liberated oil wells, enjoying the same rights as their democratic brethren around the globe.' The Rumailah wells are the latest of nearly 900 to be freed from the yoke of oppression by coalition forces. As U.S. troops continue to advance deeper into Iraqarmed with constant standing orders to 'Secure the oil wells; repeat, secure the oil wells'an estimated 1,500 more wells are expected to be liberated in the coming weeks. For months, U.S. officials have gone to great lengths to assure the public, both in America and abroad, that the Iraq invasion is not motivated by oil interestsa sentiment echoed by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld during a press conference Monday. 'This war is not about oil,' Rumsfeld said. 'Our decision to intercede against this dictator and not against the dozens of other ruthless dictators in the world is not about oil. France and Russia's opposition to this war is not about the purely coincidental fact that both countries have lucrative, pre-existing oil contracts with Iraq. Furthermore, the interest of many U.S. corporations in the war has nothing to do with oil, either. This war is about liberty. Oil wells deserve liberty, too.' Continued Rumsfeld: 'These oppressed Iraqi oil wells deserve the right to pump oil as freely as any other oil well on God's Earthbe it in Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, or an Alaskan wildlife refuge. It is crass and cynical to view this operation as being motivated by greed, profit, or the second-largest oil reserves in the Middle East. This war is motivated by one thing: democracy. Our military action is meant to provide all of Iraq's oil wellsbe they big or small, staggeringly lucrative or merely very lucrativewith their God-given right to pump under a democratic system of self-governance.' In the weeks leading up to the war, the U.S. sought to make its intentions clear by air-dropping hundreds of thousands of pamphlets over Iraq assuring its people that the U.S. was not launching a war against them, but against Saddam Hussein. The pamphlets also gave Iraqi soldiers instructions on how to surrender properly, as well as a promise that they would be treated well if they did so. Most importantly, though, they included a stern admonition to all Iraqis not to burn any oil wells, warning that they would be hunted down and prosecuted as war criminals if they did. U.S. officials hope that the pamphlets' message, especially the part about the oil wells, gets through. 'These valuable natural resources belong to the Iraqi people, who rely on their output for desperately needed food and medicine under the U.N.'s Oil-For-Food Program,' Franks said. 'But ultimately, we need to remember that these oil wells do not really belong to anybody. They, like any other free oil well, have the basic, inalienable right to independent representational government and self-determination under their own rule. Every oil well deserves to choose how and when it wishes to produce oil, and for whose economic benefit.' Aiding the wells in their transition to democracy will be Texaco, Mobil, and other U.S. businesses, each of which bring years of expertise in dealing with the problems and challenges that oil wells face in a free society. These private companies will be well-equipped to help manage the oil wells as they make the difficult adjustment to producing oil in freedom. Despite the apparent inevitability of victory in Iraq, White House sources stress that the battle for oil-well liberty is far from over. 'We must remember that there are many, many oil wells living under oppression all across the world, not just in Iraq,' White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said. 'Until every oil well enjoys the fruits of democracy, no oil well is truly free.' 
3	NATO Auditor Investigating Terrorism Funding Found Dead, Family Disputes It Was SuicideBy Claire Bernish Authorities are calling the death a suicide, but Chandelons family is reportedly vehemently disputing that assessment. Although information remains scarce, there are troubling details suggesting Chandelon indeed might not have taken his own life. For one thing, the NATO auditor, who was apparently tasked with counteraction against terrorism financing issues, according to News.am, was found over 62 miles from Lens, the city where he lived and nearly 87 miles from his place of work in Luxembourg. Chandelon also owned three registered firearms, but an unregistered weapon was discovered near his body. Further, Belgian press reports, Chandelon had mentioned to his entourage, he thought he had been followed and had received strange calls. SudInfo.be reports the mans family has a number of unanswered questions surrounding the strange death, asking, Did Yves Chandelon have any enemies? Was he threatened in the course of his work in NATO? Was it an odious crime made up in suicide, or did the man go through a troubled period? Belgian media also reports in the days before his suspicious death, Chandelon felt threatened, and that the duties of his job would have required him to deal with money laundering and issues related to terrorism A profile likely to expose Chandelon to danger. Indeed several NATO allies and, glaringly, NATO member nation Turkey have been exposed for directly funding terrorist groups; most notoriously, the self-titled Islamic State. Incidentally, Russian Ambassador to Turkey Andrey Karlov was assassinated this week in Ankara, while giving a speech to a small group gathered in an art gallery though the killer was shot dead by police shortly afterward, questions still surround the incident. Mevlut Mert Altintas, the man who murdered Karlov, had been a Turkish police officer, until a recent purge by President Recep Tayyip Erdoan of those sympathetic to political opposition believed by him to be behind a coup attempt this year. Altintas reportedly began shouting about revenge for Aleppo the recently-liberated Syrian city where Syrian government forces backed by Russia battled to expel all terrorist groups. But some of those terrorist groups are backed by the U.S. and Turkey and the United States even armed one of the largest faction of so-called moderate rebels as part of its attempt to depose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. As for the Islamic State, Turkey has been exposed for allowing the caliphate to transport stolen oil and other supplies into Syria a fact ultimately admitted true by the U.S. and an issue that has brought condemnation and rancor in the NATO ranks. Virginia Senator Richard Black explained in an interview in January, as reported by RT, Virtually all arms, ammunition, equipment, supplies, jihadists, medical support all of it comes from Turkey. Right now, ISIS sends 44,000 barrels of oil per day stolen barrels, most of it from Syria across the border into Turkey, said Black. The State Department has publicly said that theres only a trickle of oil that gets into Turkey, but I have personally spoken to Kurdish activists [who] observed hundreds of ISIS oil tankers carrying stolen Syrian oil into Turkey on a daily basis. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. This is a very relevant new, and mass media is hiding it. Getting too close to the hidden CIA budgets for mercenaries. Very suspicious, sounds like he was getting a bit too close for comfort. The US Congress should have done away with the CIA after the Church Commission back in the 70s! 
3	Gardasil Survivors in Ireland Launch Support Groupselfnews Post Members of ten families from all over the country came together to share experiences and express their exasperation at the inability of health authorities to recognise the pattern of serious adverse reactions being suffered by children who, up until receiving the Gardasil injection, enjoyed an active healthy lifestyle. One of the main complaints raised at the meeting was that the information provided by the HSE (as part of the informed consent process) is extremely misleading, particularly with regard to how safe the vaccine is. A high incidence of serious reactions have beenreported in the U.Sever since Gardasilwas released there in 2006. Even the drug manufacturers own clinical trials reveal a1 in 40 (2.5%) incidence of a serious adverse reaction*, yet Irish parents are still told by the HSE that Gardasil isvery safe. Although its cancer-preventing properties have never been proven, the HSE insists that the benefits of Gardasil outweigh the risks and even claim that it has been fully tested. This is despite the limited safety testing that took place as a result of this life-saving vaccine being fast-tracked through the regulatory approval process. HSE did not inform parents that Gardasil contains genetically engineered non-human recombinant DNA, the effects of which are unknown and unpredictable when injected into a human host. The types of long-term debilitating health conditions reported by Irish parents have in many cases meant that the girls are unable to continue their education in school. Because of the nature of the chronic illnesses, Irish doctors and consultants are unable to offer any effective treatment. With 1 or 2 rare exceptions, medical professionals dismiss these serious reactions as unrelated to Gardasil and merely coincidental. When tests come back negative, parents are often told that their girls simply have psychological/psychosomatic problems. Since the the group was formed, 4 new parents with daughters injured by Gardasil have come forward via the website to join our group. 2 of these stories are particularly horrendous. One is so depressed she has to be watched 24/7; the other has a bleeding disorder so bad that she could literally bleed to death if she has a small accident. The third girl had POTS and the fourth has seizures. It seems Gardasil and other HPV vaccines are causing the greatest epidemic of conversion disorder the world has ever seen. *According to the FDA a serious adverse event must fit one of the following criteria: death, life-threatening, hospitalization, disability or permanent damage, congenital abnormality/birth defect, or the requirement to intervene to prevent permanent impairment.

3	Trumps New Deputy National Security Advisor KT McFarland: A Pro-Torture, Anti-Whistleblower GlobalistBy Melissa Dykes The KT stands for Kathleen Troia. She was a FOX News National Security Analyst and, before that, she served in national security posts in the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations. The National Memo described her as an Anti-Muslim Putin fan who supports torture. While that kind of headline fits right into a liberal leftist agenda, McFarland could more rightly be described as an anti-whistleblower, pro-torture globalist and thats in her own words. Back in 2010, she wrote an article for FOX News titled, Yes, WikiLeaks Is a Terrorist Organization and the Time to Act Is NOW. She was really upset the US government couldnt keep its secrets. She wrote: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange isnt some well-meaning, anti-war protestor leaking documents in hopes of ending an unpopular war. Hes waging cyberwar on the United States and the global world order. Mr. Assange and his fellow hackers are terrorists and should be prosecuted as such. Then she urged President Obama to immediately do four things: 1. Declare WikiLeaks a terrorist organization AND, on top of all that: 4. Up the charges against Bradley Manning (Because Pfc. Manning hasnt already been through enough And wheres Hillary? Oh, thats right.) McFarland also went on national television and defended not just waterboarding, but straight up torture, saying even if its torture, its probably worth doing! She claims (quite wrongly) that torture works! more enthusiasm than a high school cheerleader who swallowed a mouthful of Adderall on game night! Here is KT McFarland appearing on a May 2012 episode of the Hannity Show on FOX. Listen to her discuss her personal position on torture: So, according to KT McFarland, waterboarding isnt torture, it doesnt matter if it is torture because torture works, and if torture works even if it is torture, its probably worth doing. Sounds like we need to get ready for the George W. Bush years all over again That woman right there is scary as Hell. So that, in a nutshell, is who KT McFarland is A staunch advocate for government clampdown on whistleblowers to the harshest extent of the law in the interest of national security under which anything could likely be justified including not just waterboarding but straight up torture and, in her own words, a staunch defender of global world order. And now thanks to Donald Trump, in a few months shell be our new Deputy National Security Advisor. Gee. Great.

Soon we will learn what method will be used to Make America Great Again ! The one we are already familiar with ? : Perfect, Crodo Dile. Another puppet greasing the skids. Add a RFID-techno-Stasi smart emblem. So much for draining the swamp, the great Tramp, sorry Trump, is just digging it deeper. Guess what sheeple, you have been royally had. Kill their families! Meet and greets are so much fun. Bring on the waterboarding, torturing psychopaths so I can feel safe! No one should be surprised that the DC Cult of Paranoia is still feeding on their own fear. Lets be optimistic. Perhaps Trump is truly a sexist, misogynist. Perhaps hes just giving her a position because she gives great head. She would be way worse than Hillary so not even close Youd get better head from a cheese grater. Ha! Good one. As I tried to explain to Trump supporters before the election (of whom I was one albeit tentatively), it didnt matter who won the election the same Satanic oligarchy will continue to run America through their Shadow Government with the President as their compliant puppet. Thats the same shadow government that assassinated JFK, MLK, Robert Kennedy, John Lennon, Che Gavarra and millions more. They are the same ones that have fomented wars and revolutions globally to ensure their corporations face no obstacles and the production of drugs goes unheeded (see Gary Webbs Kill The messenger for an insight). Americans have been duped to believe their country is a force for good in the World through one massive media controlled Psyops. It would be nice to think that Donald Trump could make America good again but so long as the current system stays in place that will never happen and as a planet we must all suffer the consequences for ever more as their New World Order grows more powerful and sinister by the day! 
3	US Closes Syrian Embassy; Death Squad Support ContinuesBrandon Turbeville Essentially, the order closes the Syrian embassy in Washington, D.C. as well as its honorary consulates in Troy, Michigan and Houston, Texas. The decision is alleged to have come as a response to the Assad governments recent announcement that it will cease consular service for Syrians who reside in the United States. U.S. Special Envoy To Syria, Daniel Rubenstein, stated, We have determined it is unacceptable for individuals appointed by that regime to conduct diplomatic or consular operations in the United States. Rubenstein continued by stating that the United States would continue to support the genocidal rebels and death squads currently terrorizing the nation when he said that The United States will continue to assist those seeking change in Syria, to help end the slaughter, and to resolve the crisis through negotiations for the benefit of the Syrian people. A pro-death squad organization, Coalition for a Democratic Syria, expressed pleasure at the U.S. governments decision to restrict the movement of Jaafari, stating that he has engaged in a series of propaganda tours within the United States in order to mislead and sow discord among Syrians living in the U.S. In the end, the closing of the Syrian embassy is only one more sad chapter in the book of the Syrian tragedy, itself entirely directed, funded, and initiated by Western powers and Anglo-American networks.

1	Noting that attorneys on either side had used the term dozens of times during the previous two weeks, juror Michael Kerr told reporters Monday that he was too far into a capital trial at this point to ask what contusions are. When the prosecutor first brought it up, I thought I could just ignore it and hope it wouldnt come up again, but then they called in a medical expert who said it a whole bunch of times, Kerr said after the witness delivered testimony on the victims numerous contusions, which he surmised could refer to strands of hair, bones, or another part of the body, but could be something different altogether. Ive been looking at peoples faces whenever contusions come up, and I can tell by their expression that its something bad, but thats the only clue Ive got. The next time they say it Im probably just going to nod. Kerr said he planned to look up the term as soon as he got home after voting for a guilty verdict. 
2	Teen Thug Resists Arrest... Learns Instantly That Was A Huge Mistake [VIDEO] Over the past few years, weve seen an escalation of violence and disrespect toward police officers. So much so, in fact, that thugs and criminals are starting to feel entitled to fight arrest and blame officers for their fate. One teenager in Clarksdale, Mississippi learned the hard way that an attitude like that wasnt going to fly. Footage captured the incident. The police officer wrestles with the teenage boy for a moment before picking him up and body slamming him to the concrete headfirst for resisting arrest. The incident is still being investigated, though the officer has not been disciplined as of yet. What do you think? Do you support this officer or did he take things too far? 
3	How to Simplify Your Finances to Survive Economic CollapseBy selfnews Post The first of these strategies is to simplify your finances by concentrating on the essentials like getting out of debt and optimizing your savings with prudent investments. Its hard to be of any use to yourself, let alone anyone else, during economic collapse if you are buried up to your neck in debt. Notice we are not saying pay off your debt like most financial advisers say to do. It says to get out of debt. Yes, its wise to honor your debts to banks, but not if it gets in the way of your basic survival. Generally, being in debt is bad. Yet not all debt is created equal. Mortgages and business loans can be beneficial. For instance, if youre upper-middle class, financing a home, capital equipment or inventory for your business offers certain tax benefits that make these loans more desirable than just their obvious utility. However, credit card debt, car loans and, increasingly, student loans are rarely used productively and should be paid off as quickly as possible so you can get busy creating independence. These categories are what we mean when we refer to debt going forward. By the way, having an Xbox Live account and multiple iPads doesnt count as basic survival, just in case some of you who might be infected with first-world-problems syndrome need clarification. Food, shelter, clothing, heat, medicine and essential tools are the basics. If you cannot afford these essentials, your debt is just a number on a computer screen and you have more important things to worry about. We published an article in 2010 titled 5 Reasons Not to Pay Your Credit Cards, which is still relevant today. However, since then, banks have gotten much more aggressive about garnishing wages to collect your unsecured debts like credit cards. Therefore, its probably not a good idea to ignore your credit cards if you have normal job with a W2. Excluding a comet smashing into Earth, your debt is likely to continue to be a ball and chain slowing you down until you pay it off. The faster the better. This may seem daunting to some of you. The total amount may seem insurmountable. It can make you feel trapped. But youre only trapped by your belief about what is possible. Youve run the numbers a million times in your head. Itll take you X number of years to pay off your debt. Weve all enslaved ourselves this way at some point in our lives. Do you know how to free yourself from this torture? Its really quite simple. In fact, its so easy you wont believe it works until you try it. The way to free yourself from this mental torture is to deliberately imagine paying off all your bad debt in 2016. Yes, in a single year. Think about it at the gym, during your commute, while at work, on the toilet, in the shower, while paying bills, while meditating or praying before bed. Think about it a million and one times. And do you know whats going to start to happen? Youll consciously and subconsciously begin doing things to help you achieve that outcome. The significance of changing your thinking cannot be overstated. The universe will bend to your will and start to reveal opportunities. It may seem too law-of-attraction or faith-based for you, but indeed an invisible mechanism is at work. Science-based folks may call it Reticular Activation. This is the effect that happens when we buy a new car and suddenly we notice that same model everywhere we go. Or, if youre in a crowded train station or night club and someone says your name, your mind immediately recognizes it within the sea of noise. You may not pay off all your bad debt in 2016, but well guarantee that by scaling your thinking and setting this goal, youll be much closer to achieving it than you were before changing your mindset. What are appropriate investments to protect yourself from economic crashes? Although the answer may differ depending on your financial status, some investments are universal for everyone. Whats more, not all investments are financial. You can also invest your time or expertise into a project, organization, skills, etc. Yet, for those of you with enough abundance to worry about protecting it, here are some general tips that may help insulate you from a pending collapse: First, sell your boat, literally and figuratively. There comes a point when the boat becomes worse than worthless. You cant sell it and it costs you money to own it. That day is coming. Cut the fat from your budget. Get rid of annoying expenses that no longer deliver you satisfaction or value. Second, become independent in every feasible way. All of the wealth in the world doesnt matter if you are dependent on others for your basic needs. If you have investments in stocks, bonds or even in cash, convert some of it into alternative sources of energy and water for your home. This is crucial physical insurance against potential disruptions due to the economy or other outside forces. Third, localize your investments. Invest in real estate and cash-flow businesses close to where you live. These are tangible assets that you can personally add value to as opposed to owning stocks of companies that are entirely out of your control. Most of all, if you have the means, your first goal should be to secure your independence. The rest of this report focuses on strategies to achieve self-sufficiency. The good news is that many dont require large financial investments. Please see the video overview of this FREE Special Report put together by selfnews Post and presented by Derrick Broze. Know thyself, said the old philosophy. Improve thyself, saith the Virtue is my lover, my pride, my Who are these idiots that keep posting these type of articles. If we had money to invest we wouldnt really be in debtduh!!! berry there is a difference. Money invested might (probably) be pretax (unconstitutional extraction of paid labor) and goes directly into a 401K (K= kikedom). Can u explain more about that strategy? 
1	U.S. troops stationed in Iraq hailed an unannounced and unaccompanied visit Monday from Barney, the senior White House dog who belongs to President Bush and First Lady Laura Bush. Barney is escorted by troops at the Baghdad airbase. Landing in Baghdad's Green Zone amid extremely tight security, the Scottish terrier met with nearly 800 troops at a military mess hall, then visited Camp Victory, the U.S. military headquarters on the outskirts of Baghdad. In both locations, the 6-year-old First Dog was greeted with loud cheers and standing ovations by servicemen and women. 'Barney's visit really cheered us all up,' said Army Spc. Anthony Udall, who was given the privilege of escorting Barney across the airport tarmac. 'I can't tell you how great it is that the White House would send one of its own to spend some time with us out here.' Although the dog was in Iraq for less than a day, he maintained a busy schedule while there. Events included handshakes with top U.S. field commanders, a tour of the base's new recreation facility, and a ride in an armored vehicle. Besides sitting and staying at a military briefing, Barney also participated in the ground-breaking for a new visitors reception center at Camp Victory, during which he energetically dug alongside camp officials. <p><h3>The First Dog</h3></p><p>Barney, the highest-ranking official to visit Iraq in months, had a full schedule:</p><ul class='bulleted'><li><b>8 a.m. </b>Morning walk with generals on the ground </li><li><b>9 a.m. </b>'Sit-down' with troops</li><li><b>10:30 a.m. </b>Game of catch</li><li><b>12 p.m. </b>Lunch, photo ops </li><li><b>1 p.m. </b>Bathroom break</li><li><b>1:05 p.m.</b> Moment of silence for fallen soldiers</li><li><b>2 p.m. </b>Treats</li></ul> 'As soon as he stepped off the plane, it was clear he was interested in what was happening on the ground here,' said Gen. George Casey, commander of Multi-National Force-Iraq who met with the First Dog in the courtyard outside his office at Camp Victory. 'He seemed extremely enthusiastic about the whole situation and he was even visibly excited about some of the progress we're making.' But the visit's highlight was the First Dog's encounter with soldiers, who were clearly taken with his presence. Sitting with his head cocked to one side, he listened intently to the soldiers' concerns before receiving a treat and a pat on the head. Barney showed further solidarity with the troops by accepting an impromptu invitation to a belated Thanksgiving feast, during which he impressed servicemen and women with his hearty, nondiscriminating appetite. The First Dog also received a tummy rub courtesy of the 100th Infantry Battalion. Barney's appearance marks the first time a high-ranking Bush Administration official has toured the war-torn nation since Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's visit in April. 'Barney seemed very genuine and sincere, like he was really into being here,' said Pfc. Steven Koch, who participated in a photo op with the First Dog. 'The fact that he took time out of his busy schedule to play ball with me and my buddies means the world to us. It's nice to see a happy face from home.' Added Koch, 'He's a good boy.' Barney led the blessing and refrained from begging during an impromptu Thanksgiving meal with troops. During his visit, Barney impressed top military leadership with his attentiveness and steadfastness, yet he tactfully avoided addressing such highly charged issues as extended tours of duty and the shortage of effective body armor. Critics say the visit diverted time and energy away from Barney's domestic responsibilities. Yet a statement issued today by the White House defended the decision to send Barney to Iraq, saying it was 'the absolute least this administration could have done for the brave men and women fighting for freedom' in Iraq. The statement also pointed to the success of the January 2006 visit of the Bushes' other Scottish terrier, Miss Beazley, to troops serving in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan, and, in November 2005, the favorable reception given to Ofelia, their Crawford, TXbased Longhorn cow, in areas devastated by Hurricane Katrina. 
2	Watch What This Thug Says After Being Accused Of Plowing Over 160 Memorial Day Crosses In a disturbing new report, a display of crosses dedicated to deceased military members in Henderson, Kentucky was destroyed after a 27-year-old man ran them over with his car. Police report that Anthony Burrus drove through the display early Saturday morning, knocking over 160 crosses. 20 of those crosses were completely destroyed in the incident. Volunteers were able to resurrect 140 crosses, according to News Channel 10. Each cross had the name of a military serviceperson from Henderson who had passed away. For somebody to do this to a veteran who gave his life, I dont understand, American Legion member Jim Hanley told the local paper. I dont have any words. Im speechless. I lost my son seven years ago, and this is so sad to know somebody would do this without thinking about the consequences, Bob Dutton Sr. commented sadly, after finding the destroyed cross dedicated to his son Robert. Jennifer Richmond, Henderson Police Public Information Officer, added that a large number of tips, vehicle searches and Facebook posts helped to link the crime to Burrus. Of course, Burrus denies doing the damage, telling police that he had abandoned the 1979 Ford Thunderbird at a McDonalds because it wasnt running. Officers found the vehicle with pieces of the crosses and a ground stake embedded in its tires. 
2	Republican Senators Strip Dem. Gov. McAuliffes Security Detail To Teach Him A Lesson Virginias Democrat Gov. Terry McAuliffe is never up to anything good. He has received an enormous amount of backlash for his most recent policy that prevents non-Virginian concealed carry permit holders from carrying in Virginia. The Republicans in Virginia, led by Senator Bill Carrico, are moving forward with a policy that will defund Gov. McAuliffes security detail. I have a budget amendment that Im looking at to take away his executive protection unit. If hes so afraid of guns, then Im not going to surround him with armed state policemen, said Carrico. Hopefully this will teach Gov. McAuliffe a lesson- that Americans have their Second Amendment Right for a reason. No one messes with our rights and gets away with it. Do you support Sen. Bill Carrico and his mission to defund McAuliffes security?

2	Garth Brooks Risks His Entire Career To Do THIS For Trump Elton John made a pathetic attempt at controversy this month when he refused to perform at President-elect Donald Trumps inauguration on January 20th. Of course, Trump hadnt even invited him. It appears Hillary Clinton was so overconfident, that she and her team already booked John for the big day. The mainstream media had clearly convinced her that she had the election in the bag. Still, John did his best to take a stand against Trumptaking shots at our nations President-elect in the most classless way possible. Meanwhile, Garth Brooks has finally spoken out in support of Donald Trump, and his efforts to drain the swamp in Washington to make America great again. TMZ recently interviewed Brooks while he was rehearsing to sing at the National Mall during the Christmas tree lighting in Washington. When a reporter asked Garth if he was planning to perform for Trumps inauguration, he was quick to express his support for the legendary businessman turned President. Its always about serving, ya know, its what you do, Trump answered. What do you think? Should Trump ask Garth to perform?

1	CBS executives announced Monday that they have begun filming Antebellum Island, a new 'alternate reality' series in which 12 strangers compete for $1 million while isolated on an island still under Confederate rule. Antebellum Island 'Set to air in the spring of 2004, Antebellum Island gives us the unique opportunity to play with both social dynamics and recorded history,' CBS Chairman Leslie Moonves said. 'The contestants on Antebellum Island will spend 60 days braving the elements, each other, and the unfamiliar customs and practices of a 21st-century Confederate States of Americaall for a chance to win a cool million.' Added Moonves: 'That's one million in Union dollars, of course!' Moonves said contestants will be isolated on a sun-drenched tropical island, where they will participate in competitions designed to emphasize teamwork and interpersonal friction in the rigidly stratified alternate-universe society. The Big Four networks have seen dwindling Nielsen numbers for variations on reality shows, a trend CBS hopes to reverse with a new genre of programs that 'go beyond reality.' 'When we were brainstorming this show, we knew we wanted an eclectic cast and an exotic locale,' said Matt Davies, executive producer of Antebellum Island. 'But none of the ideas were clicking as 'reality plus totally new'until someone said, 'Hey, no one's done a show set in an America where the Union army lost, and Jefferson Davis replaced Lincoln as president.' We knew we had a winner.' Davies said CBS also seriously considered another alternate-reality series called The Man In The High Castle In The Outback, in which 12 women would compete for the love of a Jewish man hiding in Australia under an assumed name because the Allies lost WWII to Nazi Germany. Ultimately, executives deemed the scenario less likely to engage the average American viewer than the post-Civil-War alternate reality. Scouts chose a tropical location after they failed to find an island in the Mississippi River with enough land mass to sustain the manufacturing-based economy of a country that did not begin its transition from an agricultural society to a modern industrial society until the early 1900s. Three <i>Antebellum Island</i> contestants in a scene from the show's premiere episode. 'It's a totally new and exciting location,' Davies said. 'Our 12 strangers must adapt to the altogether-unfamiliar territory of an island where the states and the people are guaranteed those rights not specifically delegated to the federal government!' Contestant auditions for Antebellum Island were held in Washington, DC, and Richmond, VA. Interviewees were asked such questions as: 'Do you consider yourself fun-loving and up for new challenges?' 'Do you believe women should be given the vote?' and 'Do you reckon Dred Scott shoulda been hung from the highest tree?' 'We have a good mix of people for our first castall colors and creeds,' Davies said. 'On this show, as you might imagine, diversity is especially crucial. We plan to break the participants into two 'families,' the Masons and the Dixons.' 'In casting the show, we looked for people who displayed adaptability, good judgment, and impeccable hospitality,' Davies said. 'But we wanted to let the contestants' personalities shape the show. We didn't just look to fill the typical slots: plantation owner, houseboy, carpetbagger, and Uncle Tom.' Executives were reluctant to reveal the themes for Antebellum's weekly competitions, but said contests might include skeet shooting, quilting bees, formal-dress cotillions, and working at a textile factory on the west side of the island for the entire show's duration with no chance at the $1 million prize. Davies said the show's first episode will feature an adventure-filled whitewater-rafting trip, in which one team will attempt to make it to the 'New Orleans Checkpoint,' while the other will try to stop it from meeting up with the British ships in port and demanding asylum. 'We've thought a lot about how contestants should be kicked off the island,' Davies said. 'The voting thing has been done to death, and anyway, on our island, voting is a very touchy subject. Right now, we're toying with allowing cast members to just escape to the North. But it might be neat to choreograph some sort of mad uprising for the final episode. Whatever we do, you can bet it'll be exciting, tension-filled, and consistent with an America where slavery and states' rights survived long after the 1860s.' 
3	Is Obamas War on Weed Coming To An End?Rady Ananda Prisons are operating at 40% above capacity, he told the audience at the American Bar Associations annual meeting in San Francisco, which was broadcast on C-SPAN. Incarceration rates have increased 800% since 1980, he added, putting over 200,000 people in federal prisons this year. Half of those inmates are incarcerated for drug-related crimes, he said, costing $80 billion a year. The plain and simple truth is that alcohol fuels violent behavior and marijuana does not, said Norm Stamper, Seattles former Chief of Police, in the forward to Marijuana Is Safer: So Why Are We Driving People to Drink? In the 2013 updated and expanded edition, a team of authors describe the education campaign that preceded Colorado voters legalizing marijuana in 2012. High and Dry, one campaign targeting college campuses steered students away from alcohol. SAFER (Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation) was founded by co-author Mason Tvert. Not to be outdone, the US also incarcerates women at much higher rates than any other nation, and at any other time US history. Female incarceration rates jumped 64% from 1995 to 2006. For a longer view, in 1925, the US jailed one in 100,000 women; by 2006, it jailed one in 746. Most interesting about Holders announcement today is the timing. It followed last nights airing of the documentary, Weed, an investigative report by TV doctor Sanjay Gupta who preempted the broadcast with an apology for his stance on marijuana. I mistakenly believed the Drug Enforcement Agency listed marijuana as a Schedule 1 substance because of sound scientific proof, he wrote. Schedule 1 drugs are considered extremely dangerous with no medical value. But, like medical marijuana advocates have been saying for years, that just aint so. Weed featured the story of six-year-old Charlotte Figi, who has a severe type of epilepsy known as Dravet syndrome. She suffered 300 seizures a week. Modern medicine was unable to help. The family finally pursued medical marijuana, the kind thats high in CBD, the medicinal cannabinoid, and low in THC, the psychoactive one. Shes now down to seven seizures a week, and the results were immediate. Some of the documentary still fell short, though. Weed showed an increasing rate of treatment for marijuana addicts over the past several years without mentioning that many of those (teen and adults) seek treatment in lieu of jail time for possessing, using or selling a plant that has been around for 34 million years. Obamas turnaround on marijuana didnt come soon enough for the medical cannabis clinics in Washington last month. With guns drawn, on July 24 federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents stormed 18 legal medical marijuana clinics in three counties in Washington, seizing product, paperwork, employee cell phones, and other items. Two days later, federal jackboots seized the houseboat of one the women who runs one of the raided clinics. Madelaine Addy Norton, the office manager at Bayside Collective, posted a tearful video on Baysides Facebook page, after a phone call from the DEA advising they were about to seize her houseboat. She later removed the video, instead posting a comment confirming the seizure. These raids constitute one of President Obamas single biggest days of paramilitary action in the federal crackdown on medical cannabis patients and providers, said medical marijuana activist, Mike Liszewski of marijuana patient advocacy group, Americans for Safe Access (ASA). A week later, Michigan clinics were raided, and two weeks later Los Angeles clinics were also raided by federal agents. That followed over 100 raids on LA clinics in June. In a landmark report, ASA estimated in 2012 that Obama had spent nearly $300 million in the past four years on aggressive enforcement practices in medical marijuana states. As with other civil liberties, hes Bush on steroids. This brings to mind the 2008 docufilm, Perversion of Justice, reviewed here. The Reverend Melissa Mummert worked in a federal prison and heard about conspiracy laws that condemn first-time, non-violent drug convicts to life in prison. She doubted it, but investigated, and chose to feature Hamedah Hasan, whose life story exemplifies all that is wrong with mandatory minimums and the war on drugs in America. Hasan was sentenced to two life sentences without possibility of parole because she lived in her cousins house while he was selling drugs. That story makes the best case for pardon, which is in the presidents power to grant. If Obama really is reversing himself, these raids on legal medical marijuana clinics need to be left to state authorities who pursue only those who violate state laws on the growing and selling of marijuana. As of today, twenty states and the District of Columbia have legalized medical marijuana. This nearly reflects American attitudes toward pot, Marijuana is Safer explains: The Pew Research Center found in March 2013 that 52% favor complete legalization. With both Obamas policy reversal and Guptas change of heart on weed, suspicions may be justified, especially with the development of genetically modified marijuana.

3	Flu Shot Worsens H1N1 Symptoms, New Research RevealsLisa Garber Dr. Danuta Skowronski is an influenza expert at the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control. She showed her findings at the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy in San Francisco. Curious thing is: this isnt the first time that Skowronski observed this so-called Canadian problem. During the 2009 flu pandemic, Skowronski noticed that individuals who received the 2008-2009 winter flu shot were more likely to become infected with the virus than were those who hadnt been given the shot. Five studies were conducted in various provinces, but because research outside Canada failed to compare, the matter went ignored. Skowronski persisted and conducted a blind study with 32 ferrets. Researchers didnt know which animals had been vaccinated and which had not when they exposed them to the H1N1 virus. While all the animals recovered, those that had been vaccinated showed worsened H1N1 symptoms than those that hadnt. The findings were consistent with the increased risk that we saw in the human studies, Skowronski added, although she doesnt yet know why. Some H1N1 symptoms include: Vaccines Ineffective, Even Harmful In a study published in The Lancet, 2.7 percent of over 13,000 unvaccinated adults while 1.2 percent of vaccinated adults caught the influenza virus. That means that the vaccine prevented 1.5 of every 100 adults from getting sicka far cry from the 60% efficacy claim the media touts. While we may be inclined to believe that all of us getting vaccinated is enough if we prevent those 3 of every 200 people from getting sick, vaccines are often chock-full of harmful ingredientsingredients that might get us sicker than the illness itself. In example, studies conducted in 1999 showed that MMR, hepatitis B, and other multi-dose vaccines contained thimerosal in amounts that exposed 62.5 ug of mercury per child, per visit to the doctor. Thats 100 times the safe dose as determined by the Federal Environmental Protection Guidelines. Other chemicals found in flu vaccines include: Professor Elizabeth Miller, head of the HPAs immunization department, said the connection was made in the 1970s and use of it desistedfor a time, until potential profits became too big to ignore.

1	Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-SC), widely known for his conservative views, retooled his hard-line stance against homosexuality after a casual one-nighter last weekend with a D.C.-area man identified only as 'Stan.' Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-SC), long known for his opposition to 'wicked, homosexual perverts,' has rethought his stance in the wake of a recent romantic encounter. Thurmond, 93, first elected to Congress in 1956 on a segregationist platform, described the homoerotic rendezvous as 'a remarkably loving and mutually rewarding exchange of affection between two consenting adults.' 'I was mistaken when I said that homosexuals were perverts bent on the destruction of the family and the nation through their wicked, deviant sex acts,' a visibly glowing Thurmond told reporters. 'Stan respected me for who I was, not just for my body. He was a sharp dresser and a charming conversationalist, not to mention a considerate and attentive lover.' 'To all my longtime constituents,' Thurmond continued, 'I want to stress that this sexual episode was neither planned nor expected. I was heading home from my senate office after working late on a revised defense budget, when I was approached by a tall, handsome man who asked if he could buy me a drink. We had a wonderful conversation about old Judy Garland movies, the sort I used to love back when I was in my mid-70s. Before I knew it, Stan was asking me back to his place to see his house plants. He had incredible blue eyes, the kind that no legislatorliberal or conservativecould resist.' Thurmond went on to state that they had stayed up nearly half the night, talking about such varied topics as men's wear; low-fat gourmet cooking; and the tragic, early deaths of silver-screen luminaries James Dean and Marilyn Monroe. Thurmond said that his new found friend, a systems analyst in the greater D.C. area, held and cuddled him as he fell asleep, then left him a plate of cheese and fresh fruit salad before leaving for work the following morning. 'He would not have made me breakfast if all he cared about was sex,' Thurmond said. 'Stan saw me as more than just a piece of meat.' Though reluctant to discuss more personal, intimate details of the encounter, Thurmond did say that 'you have not lived until you have brought another man to climax using only your lips and tongue.' Thurmond's aides were quick to point out that despite the homoerotic nature of the encounter and the fact that Thurmond and the gentleman in question have since become 'very close,' the senator does not consider himself 'gay.' 'I see no reason why we must put labels on the senator,' said Harlan Richardson, Thurmond's longtime press secretary. 'It is unfair to judge a man's entire identity on one sexual episode alone. Why must we always speak of 'gay' or 'straight,' when human sexuality is so much more complex than that?' 'Gay, straight, biwe are all just people,' Thurmond said. 'Yes, I have known the love that dare not speak its name, but I am still just me, Senator Strom Thurmonda human being.' Thurmond noted that he had been exploring only one facet of his sexuality, and that he remained deeply devoted to his family. He then thanked his wife for being supportive and understanding of his emotional growth. 'In conclusion, I would just like to say to all the gays and lesbians, against whom I have spoken out so vociferously throughout my career, I am sorry,' Thurmond said, shedding tears. 'If an old man like me, set in his ways, can in his twilight years open his heart to a new understanding, not only of homosexuality, but also of himself, then perhaps it is not too late for all of us to see the truth. I hope you can find it within yourselves to forgive me.' The senator then died. 
3	Lawsuits Against Monsantos RoundupBy Catherine J. Frompovich That law firm is Baum Hedlund Aristei Goldman, Consumer Attorneys of Los Angeles, California. The firms Director of Public Relations and Marketing emailed a thank you for mentioning that lawsuit. Robin McCalls email prompted me to want to know more about their clients and the lawsuits, so I asked her some questions about the firms glyphosate case load. Incidentally, there is a Spanish language link Demanda Monsanto Roundup for folks who may want to access the law firms information in that language. What follows are the questions I asked that Ms. McCall so graciously answered, which I think ought to give readers some food for thought, especially if you have used Roundup and have contracted non-Hodgkin lymphoma. What is your law firms Monsanto Roundup case load and how many cases do you have? McCall: So far, we represent about 140 people since we started accepting cases in February of 2016. We expect to represent at least 500 people in this litigation and continue to get new cases every week. What are the ages of your Roundup-damaged clients? McCall: Most of our clients are in their 50s and 60s but we represent a boy as young as 10 and adults in their late 70s. One third of the people we represent are farmers. The rest are professional landscapers, weekend gardeners, and government workers working for the city, county or state, spraying Roundup to kill weeds on highways, near ditches, flood control areas, etc. Are any children among the plaintiffs, since glyphosate has been documented in vaccines? [1] McCall: The youngest person we represent is a 10-year-old boy with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. His exposure to Roundup started when he was a toddler. His father would spray weeds on a regular basis, as they live out in the country. The boy did what boys do, running all over the yard. Are your attorneys aware of the fact that glyphosate has been documented in pharmaceutical vaccines given to children? McCall: Yes, our attorneys are familiar with the latest claims being made about glyphosate, including the one about vaccines. Although this could change, we are currently only filing cases where a person has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma after exposure to Roundup or other glyphosate-based herbicides made by other manufacturers. Can you please explain the legal aspects of damage to humans, pets and the environment? McCall: The crux of the individual cases against Monsanto are allegations that the Monsanto Company failed to adequately warn farmers and landscapers that its blockbuster herbicide, Roundup, causes cancer. The Monsanto lawsuit also alleges that the agro-chemical giant designed a dangerous and defective product; committed gross negligence in the creation and promotion of Roundup; and defrauded millions of people about the safety of the herbicide. Last year, the World Health Organizations cancer research arm (the International Agency for Research on Cancer [IARC]) completed a comprehensive analysis on the toxicity of glyphosate, finding the chemical to be a probable human carcinogen [Group 2A] [2] Pets are most definitely affected by Roundup. You can find much about it on the web. The U.S. National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health published a study in December 2013 from the Interdisciplinary Toxicology journal, titled Glyphosate, pathways to modern diseases II: Celiac sprue and gluten intolerance [3]: In plants, aromatic amino acids collectively represent up to 35% of the plant dry mass (Franz, 1997). This mode of action is unique to glyphosate among all emergent herbicides. Humans do not possess this pathway [shikimate], and therefore we depend upon our ingested food and our gut microbes to provide these essential nutrients. Glyphosate, patented as an antimicrobial (Monsanto Technology LLC, 2010), has been shown to disrupt gut bacteria in animals, preferentially killing beneficial forms and causing an overgrowth of pathogens. [3] [CJF emphasis added] McCall: Included in the lawsuit that we filed on behalf of the McCall Family from Cambria, California, for the wrongful death of Jack McCall [4], was a claim for the death of the familys dog, Duke. Duke died of lymphoma a few years before Jack McCall died of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in December 2015. Duke ran all over the McCall Farm where Roundup was sprayed. We are not aware of other lawsuits that include pets, but that doesnt mean they are not out there. We have another client who lost a pet due to cancer, but we have yet to file that case. Environmental litigation: There are many lawsuits against Monsanto. These involve PCBs, GMO seeds, Roundup cancer cases, etc. Wikipedia has a page dedicated to these lawsuits. There are many claims about the environmental impact of glyphosate, including in wine (even organic), honey, beer, oats, etc., as well as affecting bees, butterflies, etc. [Heres a website listing various trade names of herbicides containing glyphosate. http://www.ehow.com/list_7240737_trade-names-herbicide-glyphosate.html ] Are there health problems other than non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)? Where have the lawsuits been filed: courts and cities? McCall: So far, at least 40 cases have been filed in state and federal courts in at least 15 different states.This litigation is still in its early stages but as the lawsuit filings are increasing and collectively law firms have hundreds of cases, it is predicted that this litigation will grow into thousands of cases. Therefore, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) decided in early October [2016] that all of the cases filed in federal courts anywhere in the nation, will be consolidated under one judge for purposes of the determining liability against Monsanto.This means that 37 federal cases are being transferred to U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria [5] of the Northern District of California in San Francisco [6]. As cases continue to be filed in federal courts, they will be transferred to the MDL (multidistrict litigation). Lawyers who are aware of the consolidation will simply file new cases into the MDL unless they choose to file in state court instead. The MDL is officially named In Re: Roundup Products Liability Litigation, MDL number2741, in the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. Ten states where federal cases were filed (but are being transferred to the Northern District of California) include: California, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nebraska and Wisconsin. In addition to the federal cases, dozens of state court cases over Roundup are pending in California, Delaware, Missouri and Pennsylvania, according to the National Law Journal. According to Brent Wisner, lawyer and partner in Baum, Hedlund, Aristei Goldman, PC, These cases are ideally suited for pretrial coordination and we were, quite frankly, shocked that Monsanto opposed it. We are excited to get these cases moving before Judge Chhabria and we hope to press these cases to trial as soon as possible. Are there any comments from Monsanto about the lawsuits? McCall: Monsanto has opposed all of the Roundup litigation as they deny there is any link between glyphosate and cancer. They file motions in opposition to the lawsuits; to the consolidation of the cases; and they are attacking the World Health Organizations International Agency for Research (IARC), which determined glyphosate is probably carcinogenic. Monsanto is fighting Californias Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) for deciding to list glyphosate as a carcinogen per Prop 65: Center for Food Safety Moves to Defend California From Monsanto Attack Monsanto Files Lawsuit to Stop California From Listing Glyphosate as Known Carcinogen Monsanto sues California, says its undemocratic for listing glyphosate as a carcinogen Additionally, there are articles about Monsantos opposition to the World Health Organizations IARCs probable carcinogen study: IARC Scientists Defend Glyphosate Cancer Link; Surprised by Industry Assault Monsanto Attacks WHO Over Report Linking Roundup to Cancer McCall also recommends reading Carey Gillams articles about Monsanto at Huffington Post. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/author/careygillamnewsnow-194 When I asked if there were anything else the law firm wants to share with my readers, McCall said that: There is an increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma after being exposed to Roundup a minimum of eight hours in a day, according to a 2008 Swedish study published in the International Journal of Cancer. This means anyone who uses it around their house is at risk, not just farmers and professional landscapers. Everyone we represent quit using Roundup as soon as they learned about its risks. They no longer want the exposure to Roundup but they are struggling to find a product that will kill weeds like Roundup. There are natural ways to kills weeds, but these take several days longer to kill the weeds than glyphosate products. McCall also provided the following Baum-Hedlund-produced Monsanto videos: What is Roundup? Roundup Cancer Attorney Discusses Roundup Lawsuits Possible Ways Roundup Can Cause Cancer Baum Hedlund Attorney Explains Roundup Cancer Attorney Discusses Personal Passion to Hold Monsanto Accountable Taking on Monsanto: Widow of Deceased Farmer Discusses Monsanto Roundup Lawsuit Monsanto Roundup Cancer Lawsuit Jack McCall With all the probable and even possible adverse health effects from glyphosate herbicides, readers undoubtedly are asking if there are any safe and comparably quick-acting, non-toxic alternatives to using glyphosate-based herbicides.

3	Obama: Defending the IndefensibleStephen Lendman Throughout his tenure, he governed lawlessly. Hes done so at home and abroad. He spurns rule of law principles and other democratic values. Nothing suggests change. Business as usual continues. War on humanity is policy. Rogue leaders govern that way. Obama threatens everyone. On May 23, he spoke at Washingtons National Defense University. He defended what he urged changing four years earlier. More on his Thursday address below. On May 21, 2009, he spoke at the National Archives. He addressed national security. He said America cant be safe unless we enlist the power of our most fundamental values. He called doing so neither effective nor sustainable. He pledged change. He said he took steps to prohibit torture. He ordered Guantanamo closed, he claimed. He made other high-minded promises. He swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, he said. He systematically spurned it. He did so across the board. He represents the worst of rogue leadership. His Thursday address reflected same old, same old. It was beginning-to-end demagogic boilerplate. Weve heard it throughout his tenure. He repeats it ad nauseam. Promises made are broken. Defending the indefensible doesnt wash. CODEPINK Women for Peace co-founderMedea Benjamin challenged him. She interrupted his speech. She did so several times. She called on him to close Guantanamo, release cleared detainees, and stop killer drone attacks. Will you apologize for the thousands of Muslims that you killed, she asked? Will you compensate the families of innocent victims? Speaking truth to power has a price. Benjamin was forcibly removed. She was detained. She was interrogated by Secret Service, military and FBI personnel. She was then released. Asked why she challenged Obama, she said: Obama defended drone strikes. He did so disingenuously. Extrajudicial killing is lawless. Weasel words fell short of explaining his failure to close Guantanamo. What he said didnt wash. He lied. He blamed Congress for his own transgression. He bears full responsibility. He can close Guantanamo today. He can do so with a stroke of his pen. As president and commander in chief, hes fully authorized to do so. Congress has no say. He can order all uncharged prisoners released. Indefinite detention is lawless. He claimed a nonexistent terror threat. The only ones are those he and complicit allies invent. Theyve done so throughout his tenure. They continued what Bush officials began. In 2009, Obama promised change. He spurned what he pledged to uphold. He did what core supporters thought impossible. He exceeded the worst of his predecessor. He turned truth on its head. He claimed extrajudicial murder is legal. On 9/11, America was attacked, he said. Doing so was state-sponsored terrorism. Bin Laden and Al Qaeda were wrongfully blamed. Days later Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) was introduced. Congress passed it near unanimously. Bush signed it into law. Americas war on terror began. Police state laws were enacted. Multiple direct and proxy wars were launched. Theyre lawless. They target humanity. They remain ongoing. Obama continues what he promised to stop. Rule of law principles dont matter. Diktat authority is policy. Obamas weasel words belie his actions. His promises arent worth the paper theyre written on. He broke every major one made. Nothing ahead suggests change. Straightaway in office he promised Guantanamo closure. Nothing whatevers been done to do so. Innocent victims remain imprisoned. Indefinite detention is policy. So are lawless military commissions. America maintains a global gulag. Extraordinary renditions fill it. Torture continues. Drone killing is prioritized. More of the same is planned. No ones secure anywhere. US citizens are vulnerable. Summary judgment is policy. Attacks can occur anywhere. US soil is unsafe. Theres no place to hide. Secrecy prevents public disclosure. Promised transparencys nonexistent. Whats most important continues out of sight and mind. Media scoundrels suppress what demands highlighting. Obama reflects the worst of rogue leadership. War on terror policy continues. It does so when no threat exists. Its lawless and unconscionable. Obamas heading America for full-blown tyranny and ruin. He threatens humanity. Doublespeak duplicity reflects it. His speech didnt surprise. Same old, same old remains policy. Nothing he said suggests otherwise. Following his address, the Center for Constitutional Rightsresponded as follows: Lifting the ban on Yemeni transfers fell short. So far its rhetoric, not policy. (W)e are disappointed by (Obamas) comment that cleared men will only be released to the greatest extent possible. Obamas equivocation is troubling. After eleven years of detention without charge or trial, all of the men President Obama does not intend to give fair trials should be released and reunited with their families. Targeted drone strikes remain policy. Reasserting the right is legally flawed and dangerous. Whether or not the United States can use lethal force under the laws of war is not a matter of policy preference it is a matter of law and facts. Continuing current policy in any forms sets a dangerous precedent for future administrations and other countries. Hundreds of activists endorsed a New York Times ad. It called on Obama to Close Guantanamo Now and stop the torture. Nothing Obama said suggests change. Business as usual remains policy. War on humanity continues. No end in sight appears likely. New world order harshness threatens everyone. Its a clear and present danger. Its much too great to ignore.

1	Despite the fact that it cost $350 when purchased two years ago and was still in excellent condition, no one seems to care that area resident Dan Bleidner's Trek 820 mountain bike was stolen from his Lansing Street apartment building Sunday. Dan Bleidner at the scene of the crime. 'I rode home from the bookstore Saturday night and locked it up like I always do,' Bleidner told disinterested neighbor Kyle Specht. 'But when I got up Sunday morning, it was gone. Poof! It just vanished into thin air. Can you believe that?' 'Wow,' responded Specht, closing his mailbox and heading quickly for his apartment door. 'That sucks.' According to Bleidner, the theft of his bicycle 'more than just 'sucks.'' For some reason, though, friends, coworkers, and fellow residents of his building have failed to acknowledge that the loss of his only mode of transportation is 'an utter outrage.' Compounding Bleidner's anger is the fact that he 'in no way deserved this.' Though others may be careless with their bicycles, Bleidner stressed that he was not. At the time of the theft, the bicycle was securely locked to a stairway banister, just feet from the door to his apartment. 'My bike was not out by the street,' Bleidner told neighbor Nikki Campbell. 'In fact, it's not even visible from the street. Someone had to come into the building in order to see it and steal it. Is that unbelievable or what?' Campbell replied that she had 'never even noticed' that Bleidner kept his bicycle in the hallway. Upon discovering that the bike was stolen, Bleidner promptly called the Iowa City Police Department. He said he gave police officials a detailed description of the bicycledown to it's new low-impact Kore gel seat, Shimano brakes, and Homer Simpson stickerbut they were 'less than helpful.' 'I called the cops right away, before any evidence could be disturbed,' Bleidner said. 'The policeman on the phone actually asked me if I wanted to have an officer come over. A crime was committed right outside my front door, and the cops are asking me if I want them to investigate? What is going on in this country?' 'Have you seen this bike?' Officer Dale Randolph arrived three and a half hours later to file a petty-theft report, one of approximately 400 he writes each year. 'When I asked Officer Randolph what the chances were that my bike would be recovered, he said, 'Don't call us, we'll call you,'' Bleidner said. 'Then I informed him that the bike was registered with the city and asked if he would like the registration number. So he pauses, as if to think about it, and says, 'Sure, I guess.' Let's just say I was not particularly impressed with this guy.' Dissatisfied with police efforts, Bleidner turned elsewhere for help. At the suggestion of a man who works at the convenience store near his building, Bleidner contacted his landlord. 'The guy at The Market Pantry said that if something belonging to a tenant is stolen, the building owner's insurance should have to cover it,' Bleidner said. 'But when I tried to explain that to [landlord] Russell [Schalow], he practically hung up on me.' After nearly 20 minutes of listening to Bleidner describe his bike and the responsible manner in which he always locks it, Schalow sent a maintenance man to help him. 'A lot of good that did,' Bleidner said. 'I was asking Juan all these questions, like, 'Did you see anyone suspicious lurking around the building?' and he just kept saying, 'No, sir. I do not know, sir.'' Bleidner has since taken the situation into his own hands, blanketing the city with flyers bearing a photo of the lost bicycle and promising a 'Large Reward!!!' for information leading to its return. 'There are 65,000 people in this city, and no one saw or heard anything,' Bleidner told a young couple as he taped a flyer to a downtown kiosk. 'It just doesn't make sense.' Until the crisis is resolved, Bleidner's friends said they intend to avoid him. 'It's too bad that Dan's bike got swiped,' friend Pete DiResta said, 'but you can only listen to him say, 'It was even locked up' so many times before you want to choke him.' 'It was even locked upwith a Kryptonite lock and everything,' Bleidner told friend Adam Dorsett. 'I told Mike that, and he said crooks know how to break those locks with freon and giant bolt cutters and stuff. Well, if that's true, how the hell can they put 'unbreakable' on the package?' 'You know what I'm going to do?' Bleidner continued. 'I'm going to call the Kryptonite 800 number right now. I was using one of their locks, so they have to replace my bike, right?' 
2	Hillary Clinton Moves To Take Away Our Constitutional Rights [VIDEO] Hillary Clinton isnt even near the White House yet and she is already planning to strip Americans of their Second Amendment rights. During a recent town hall meeting, she claimed that repealing the Constitutional right is something worth considering. You know, Australias a good example, Canadas a good example, the UKs a good example, she told the audience. Why? Because each of them had mass killings, Australia had a huge mass killing about 20 or 25 years ago. Canada did as well, so did the UK. In reaction they passed much stricter gun laws. Hillary then went on to claim that gun buyback programs are worth considering on a national level. This is ironic, given that Hillary was one of the main supporters in sending guns to Syrian rebels. In fact she was the biggest cheerleader for redistributing these arms to Syrian rebels, Rand Paul told Fox News. Some of these weapons may well have ended up in the hands of people who became ISIS. What do you think? Is Hillary as big of a threat to the White House as Obama is? 
1	In his 36 years of life, Gary Widmer's greatest contribution to humanity has been not causing any fatalities while behind the wheel, sources close to the Hampstead man confirmed Thursday. 'Overall, I've got a lot to be proud of: I worked my way through college, I'm a good friend, I have a solid job,' said Widmer, whose most enduring deed thus far is never having sent a pedestrian rolling over his hood or slamming his car into a bus full of schoolchildren. 'And I try to give back to the community, too.' Widmer is currently awaiting trial for the deaths of three teenagers in a boating accident. 
1	While preparing for their upcoming game in London against the New York Giants, the struggling Miami Dolphins spent most of the week's practices trying to answer questions concerning differences in the football itself, whether the gaps in a British line were numbered backwards, and whether or not England has end zones. 'All rightI know when you cross the Atlantic that the strong side is the weak side and weak side is the strong side, so you drive down the opposite side of the field,' said Dolphins quarterback Cleo Lemon, who confessed he was concerned about the team's two-minute drill since he was not sure of the length of the British minute. 'But, if I'm right-handed, I don't have to throw with my left, do I? And how do we get first downs since they don't have yards over there? I knew I should have watched NFL Europe when it was still on.' Lemon added that he was worried that the ball would spiral in the opposite direction in England, although the coaches had reassured him he was thinking of Australia. 
1	The Laugh Factory audience received a surprise Thursday when actor-comedian Denis Leary dropped by to try out material for his upcoming Ford commercial. 'I just like to get up there every once and a while, try out a new bit on the F-150's payload capacity, and see what's working, you know?' said Leary, whose unscheduled appearance bumped two struggling comedians from slots booked more than two months ago. 'I've got 15 seconds on zero-percent APR financing that I think is going to kill.' Leary later dealt with a heckler by showing him one of the company's many J.D. Power and Associates awards. 
1	While checking his news feed for updates on the 438 people in his extended network Monday night, Tom Allessandro, 24, noticed that Facebook friend David Bluvband has apparently died. 'Huh, I guess he's dead now,' said Allessandro, adding that it seemed like only yesterday when Bluvband, a former coworker of his ex-girlfriend, posted a link to the YouTube clip of 'Chocolate Rain.' 'Boy. That's a shame. Just goes to show you that you really have to enjoy every SuperPoke like it's your last.' After an appropriate two-minute mourning period spent reviewing Bluvband's tagged photos, Allessandro clicked 'Attending' for an event entitled 'Lost My Cell Phone! I Need Your Numbers!!@!.' 
1	Calling the experience 'a true honor' and 'the opportunity of a lifetime,' the infected synovial fluid recently drained from Kobe Bryant's right knee told reporters Monday that there is no other basketball player it would rather have accumulated in. Describing itself as humbled and privileged to have affected the NBA All-Star's mobility for even so short a time, the contaminated collection of mucin and albumin said it would always cherish every moment it spent collecting in Bryant's appendage, from the initial stages of infection to its last moments of arthrocentesis. 'Kobe Bryant's is the knee all joint fluids dream of building up in,' the semi-viscous mix of blood and uric acid said during a press conference at the Lakers' training facility. 'There were times, especially during the first two rounds of the playoffs, when I had to pinch myself and say, 'Holy crap! You're inflaming Kobe Bryant's right knee! Kobe Bryant. Not some role-playing knee like Andrew Bynum's knee, or Kendrick Perkins' knee, but Kobe freaking Bryant's.'' 'People have asked me if I would have rather built up in LeBron's knee instead of Kobe's,' the fluid added. 'And while it would have been exciting to help deteriorate LeBron's articular cartilage, Kobe is an NBA champion.' According to the infected fluid, it considered accumulating in the former MVP's knee a 'one-shot deal,' and tried to enjoy every wince and buckle it caused as if it were the last. The fluid also personally thanked Oklahoma City forward Kevin Durant for pushing the Lakers' first playoff round to six games, saying that the unexpectedly long series allowed it to really savor its time in Bryant's knee. 'I knew they wouldn't let me build up forever,' the arthritis-induced fluid said. 'So when I saw that 20-gauge syringe enter the joint capsule, I took comfort in the thought that I built up as best I could before I was sucked out.' Doctors close to the 1.2-ounce specimen said it began collecting in Bryant's joint cavities toward the end of the season, but didn't become inflamed and straw-colored until the playoffs. Beaming with obvious pride, the non-Newtonian pseudoplastic material noted that it was the same fluid that accumulated during Bryant's 39-point performance in Game 2 of the series against the Thunder, and that it went on to become the very thixotropic liquid that contributed to the swelling of Bryant's knee throughout the Western Conference semifinals. 'Not bad for a fluid that just two months ago was nothing more than a subcutaneous element in a normal, uninfected synovial membrane,' the particulate-rich residue continued. 'Not bad at all.' Calling it 'a wild ride while it lasted,' the knee fluid said it would always have fond memories of its gradual buildup during plane trips to different cities, postgame interviews, and the Lakers' four-game sweep of the Utah Jazz. 'How many aggravated lubricin compounds can say that they were building up in an MVP's knee while he was leading his team to the next round of the NBA Playoffs?' it said. 'Well, any fluid who follows sports will tell you there are only three: Willis Reed's knee fluid in 1970, fluid from Magic Johnson's busted bursa sac in '85, and Jordan's fluid in 1997.' 'Pretty good company, if you ask me,' the fluid continued. While the diseased liquid admitted that it would have been able to build up even more hyaluronic acid had Bryant not sat out during between-game practices, and had the team's trainers not been so meticulous in icing the knee down after games, the fluid said those were just minor setbacks in what was ultimately the experience of a lifetime. 'If my young, healthy, polymer-of-disaccharide self ever caught me actually complaining about harmfully building up in Kobe Bryant's knee, then in about two seconds it would disperse me onto the connective tissues out of sheer disgust,' the cloudy sample characterized by an abnormal level of white blood cells said. 'Some fluids only get to build up in obese, office-softball-league players and that's as far as they ever go. I consider myself very lucky.' 'Now, would I like to be the fluid that is currently building up inside Kobe's knee during the Western Conference finals?' the fluid added. 'Absolutely. I'd be a lying specimen jar of medical waste if I said I wouldn't. But I had my turn, and frankly, I'm exhausted. It's time for another fluid to get its chance at glory.' 
1	It can be hard to organize a large group and reach a consensus on where to go. Here are some ways to make it easier: 
3	Syria: At the Gateway of Greater WarBy Tony Cartalucci Around Aleppo, Syrian forces have cut supply lines from Turkey that were for years, supplying terrorists operating inside the country. Just east of a growing encirclement of the city of Aleppo, a secondary encirclement of so-called Islamic State (ISIS) forces is forming as the offensive to relieve Kuweris Airbase has evolved into a northern advance toward Al Bab a critical logistical hub used by US-NATO-GCC backed terrorists during the initial invasion of Aleppo in 2012 and onward. Deeper within the interior of Syria, Syrian forces have advanced eastward into the Al Raqqa Governorate, approaching the Tabaqa Airbase. The airbase is a crucial waypoint toward seizing back the city of Al Raqqa itself, which has become the de facto capital of ISIS. This second operation aimed at ISIS in Al Raqqah has only been made possible because of successes amid the first operation around Aleppo and along the Turkish-Syrian border. It is now demonstrably clear that the source of ISIS fighting capacity originated almost exclusively from NATO-member Turkeys territory and more specifically, from between the Afrin-Jarabulus corridor. So far, NATO has been unable to account for this obvious fact, or explain why it has been unable to secure the Turkish border from the Turkish side, particularly when nations including the United States and United Kingdom have for years been conducting military and intelligence operations precisely in the same locations ISIS supplies have been crossing over into Syria from. As Syrian and Kurdish forces backed by Russian airpower close one logistical corridor after another along the border, the fighting capacity of ISIS has withered to the verge of collapsing. For several days now, Turkey has been firing across the border at the pivotal Syrian city of Azaz. The city is on the verge of being overrun by Kurdish fighters who will for all intents and purposes shut down one of ISIS last remaining logistical hubs supplying their fighters in Syria from Turkey. Turkey has vowed not to allow the city to fall and has implied that it is willing to go as far as invade Syria to ensure that it doesnt. While Turkey poses as an enemy of ISIS and has not mentioned its presence in the city of Azaz or why it would attempt to protect them, it would be in 2013 that the BBC itself would declare Azaz seized by the terrorist group. In their article, Isis seizure of Syrias Azaz exposes rebel rifts, the BBC would report: the Free Syrian Army lost the town of Azaz to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or Isis, the most hardline group linked to al-Qaeda on the rebel side. As a measure of the grip the jihadis have in Azaz, one eyewitness inside the town said no-one was smoking on the streets tobacco is forbidden according to strict Islamist doctrine. Other reports from last year indicated that ISIS was either near or in the city suggesting not that it had ever lost control of Azaz but that at various moments during the conflict, it suited the West and its regional allies better to pretend moderate rebels held it instead. It should be noted that in all Western media stories, it is never precisely mentioned who the Kurds are fighting in Azaz because it is ISIS. Considering this, Turkey would be quite literally intervening to save ISIS and other hardcore terrorist groups sharing the city with it. An invasion into Syria would constitute an act of war and beyond that affirmation that NATO was behind the ISIS menace from the beginning. While leaks like that of the United States own Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) in 2015 have exposed this rhetorically, a NATO invasion of Syria to save an ISIS stronghold from destruction would prove it demonstrably. The fact that the US is attempting to distance itself politically from both Turkey and Saudi Arabia who has also pledged to carry out ground operations in Syria amid the collapse of terrorist fronts across the country indicates a possible attempt to produce plausible deniability ahead of a much larger provocation or intervention. Just as US policymakers had plotted in 2009 to use an apparent unilateral attack by Israel upon Iran to provoke a retaliation the US could then use as a pretext to reluctantly go to war, a similar strategy appears to be materializing along Syrias borders today. While the US and Europe attempt to distance themselves from Turkey, they have at the same time committed to a campaign of disinformation attempting to frame ongoing security operations moving ever closer toward Turkeys border as targeting civilians and attacking moderate rebels at the expense of fighting ISIS. This is to lend Turkey and Saudi Arabia rhetorical cover, however tenuous, ahead of any actual intervention. What will ultimately determine whether this remains mere saber-rattling or transforms incrementally into wider war, will be the actual deterrence Syria and its allies, including nuclear-armed Russia, are prepared to meet continued provocations with. The next few days pose a critical test to Syria and its allies a test that may determine whether or not this conflict passes through the gateway toward greater war. Tony Cartalucci, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazineNew Eastern Outlook. Ok,Ill start by saying that as long as Tony stays away from subjects he knows nothing about (like climate science), he is one of our greatest journalists. This article pinpoints the hypocrisy of the US, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and NATO who are working to defeat ISIS by smearing and/or attacking the Kurdish and Russian forces who have seriously taken them on. Turkey just blew up some more of their own people and are claiming it was terrorist. It will be no surprise for them to claim it was isis and use it as justification to go into syria claiming they are going to fight isis. It is highly probable there will be more false flag attacks to come and certainly not just in turkey or the middle east. If a major false flag incident does not occur by 3/11 I would definitely be on the lookout that day. 
3	The Agenda Behind the Refugee Crisis on the BorderAaron Dykes A generation of sending American jobs offshore under NAFTA, GATT and the WTO, dumping cheap corn on Mexico thereby destroying millions of farming jobs and unleashing disruptive retailers like Wal-Mart upon the fragile economies of Latin America have created turmoil, uncertainty and rivers of human migration and along with it bitter tension and discord over the dynamics of immigration, illegal immigration and the struggle for a lasting standard of living under the New World Order. The globalist plan to wreck our national sovereignty has been unfolding for awhile nowthings are just speeding up in recent months. Aaron Dykes lays out his research in the video below to illustrate whats actually going on right now with the full globalist plan behind this sudden (read: planned) so-called humanitarian crisis emerging on the U.S.-Mexico border. Its all part of instituting a new world order. Aaron Dykes co-created TruthstreamMedia.com, where this first appeared, with Melissa Melton 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	ObamaAccording to recent reports, three 15-year-old thugs decided to turn their court proceedings into a chaotic circus unlike anything weve seen before. The trio of teenagers was arrested after stealing a car and leading police on a high speed chase. When it was over, they were brought before a judge in Broward County, Florida. They were faced with charges of burglary, grand theft auto and fleeing and eluding police. The judge sentenced suspect Maurice Thomas to 21 days in detention, and things quickly took a turn for the worse. When Thomas started throwing a tantrum, his friends and family were quick to join in. Cameras caught a woman dancing, while another attacked a guard with obscenities. Meanwhile, suspect Dontavious Butler, who was also on trial, took the opportunity to flash his two rows of gold teeth to the camera. Of course, the outburst was met with swift justice. Instead of sending them just to detention, the judge ordered Thomas and Butler to spend five days in jail for contempt of court. What do you think? Did these boys get what they deserve?

3	From Albacore to Albuquerque: Phony Nuclear Science, Frauds, Fools and Radioactive FalloutRichard Wilcox, PhD True Believer This week I got into a friendly debate with a writer from the Japan Times who is a True Believer in the AGW theory (Anthropogenic Global Warming) (A journalist, 2014). My quibble with the author was that although he completely accepts the orthodox view on global warming as being caused by human activities, he has nothing to say about geoengineering/chemtrails and its effects on weather. When I pointed this out to him he shot back that I should email the editors of the Japan Times with my wacky conspiracy theory on chemtrails. In addition, although 31,000 US scientists signed a petition that the official Al Gore view of global warming is bunk, he nevertheless ignored this and insisted that all of the important UN/Woods Hole scientists agree in AGW. I guess it comes down to its my religion versus your religion. I am willing to accept that AGW may be partial reality, but for the AGW crowd to fanatically insist on their view without taking into consideration something so devastatingly obvious as chemtrails betrays cowardice and dishonesty. Phony Science In the Service Of Big Money Recently a big news story hit the net proclaiming that you would have to consume more than 700,000 pounds of Pacific tuna fish to match annual natural background radiation levels, according to Oregon State University researchers (Oregon State, 2014). In other words, this was another misdirection piece from the mainstream media/science industry to shift worry and attention away from the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe and its effects on the Pacific Ocean and its fish and wildlife. But as Nancy of the Simply Info website asserted in the comment section of the article posted at ExSKF blogger: The study is useless and is being used for political purposes in the US. Higley is a well known nuclear industry shill, hardly an unbiased researcher. She coordinated the study. Only 19 samples are post Fukushima but the study doesnt tell most of the story. 19 is way too small to make any conclusions. Albacore have a very limited migration pattern where only a subset of fish of a certain age actually migrate in a given year, the rest dont. They also have a diet that is mainly things like octopus and squid. These have been found to have almost no cesium uptake even the ones tested at Daiichi. Fukushima octopus has been back on the market since 2012 due to this inability to absorb cesium. So they studied a tiny group of fish that dont eat anything likely to be contaminated and only an even smaller number might have migrated through the contaminated waters. Yet from this pathetic bit of statistics the authors are trying to claim all Pacific fish are okey dokey. Um. No. If you actually read the entire study they have a section in the conclusions that is word for word nuclear industry PR excuses they use to try to explain away radiation risk. While critical readers will not have easily accepted the pablum dished out by the OSU researchers, the vast majority of the public will have read the headline and concluded that oh, I can eat fish, its safe, no big deal. Given that mainstream media reaches millions of readers and viewers and Simply Info or selfnews Post reach important audiences yet vastly lesser numbers, the intended goal of the nuclear industry hacks to deceive the public will have been largely achieved. I have read that a previous director of the CIA, William Casey, once said that (paraphrasing) once the American public believes everything we tell them which are all lies as to be the truth our mission will be accomplished. Mission Accomplished. Whether or not the quotation is real, the gist of the sentiment reflects the CIAs history of media manipulation and lies. Paid Shills Swarm To The Comments Section Speaking of nonsense on the Internet, most of it is not coming from sincere citizen writers and journalists but from paid shills whose obviously idiotic comments can be spied in the Japan Times comments sections when any nuclear topic appears. You can quickly notice the industry paid shills by the powerfully dangerous odor that emanates from the content and tone of their discourse. One such item that aroused the considerable ire of the paid shills is when Taiwanese protesters dared to have their government scrap plans for construction of another nuclear power plant (Taiwan halts, 2014). How dare they! screamed the shills, after all, nuclear power is safe, clean and too cheap to meter. Never mind that Taiwan, like Japan, is a seismically active country. Apparently the thousands of irate Taiwanese citizens who fought the government are too stupid to understand that nuclear power and earthquakes go together perfectly. Which reminds me of television footage I watched a few years ago of a gigantic crevice that occurred when a large earthquake hit Taiwan, splitting a highway apart with one side of the road jutting upwards several meters. The image was stunning. Can you imagine if that happened underneath a nuclear plant? Nuclear shills ignore these minor details, but what is very encouraging is that if you read the comment sections at various newspapers, most people do not buy the propaganda and are often wise to the snake oil being dispensed by the paid shills who attempt to derail reasoned discourse. A Confused And Defeated Population Which leads us to an important problem, how can Japan shake off the nuclear cartel that controls its political and media systems? What I have witnessed in Japan is the gradual forgetting of the urgency of the situation because as the media ignores it and lies about the danger of radiation in Fukushima, the issue becomes out of sight and out of mind. Personally speaking I have had a number of my students carry out research and discussion projects on the nuclear issue and many are concerned, but had I not put them up to it only a small number would have chosen the nuclear topic on their own. One group even got the issue backwards, and instead of showing how media has covered up the issue instead promoted the idea that media should cover up the radiation issue in order to help the people in Fukushima (farmers and business) so they dont suffer from baseless rumors about radiation. In other words, they believe the propaganda that talking about the dangers of radiation makes you a crackpot conspiracy theorist. An older adult student I happen to teach told me she buys Fukushima food just to help out the farmers. That is the mentality a very deeply held belief in the authority of government over the legitimacy of the people. Lets bail out Tepco so they stay in the black and sacrifice our lives for their sake. Its all for the greater good. As for the dwindling anti-nuke movement in Japan, the protest strategy does not work at such a tepid level (would need to drastically up the ante). Perhaps a stealth strategy such as going off the grid and promoting alternative energy as a quiet way to boycott the system as a viable approach. From Japan With Love Which leads us to our final thought for the evening, which is that Japan is happy to return the radiation that the USA dropped on it to end World War 2. In the air, water and fish that come from Fukushima. Unfortunately the entire west coast of the US is getting doused and the EPA has turned its head. Watch out for those fried eggs and country ham breakfasts in lonely Albuquerque cafes.

3	British Army Creates Psy-Op Unit of Facebook WarriorsSM Gibson The 77th Brigade,which will formally beestablished in April, is beingcreated to counteract narratives onsocial media that the government would rather you not be cognizant of. These 1,500 Facebook Warriors as they are being called will be heavily proficient in psychological operations and unconventional warfare. Their duties are being outlined as non-lethal warfare. A British military spokesperson stated that the The 77th, which will be stationed in Hermitage about 60 miles west of London admits that it will employ the tactics of spreading both disinformation and truths across multiple social media platforms, according to reports. This will not be the first time that a nation has openly engaged in psychological operations via social media. Both the United States and Israel have utilized the Internet for years covertly and publicly to counteract reports that are unfavorable to their agendas. The IDF has apresence on30 social media platforms, including Twitter and Facebook.Israeli Defense Forces also apply the use ofsix languages to assist in spreading their political hyperbole globally.Fort Bragg in North Carolinaalso houses a segment of U.S. Psy-Op forces who partake in similar activities. This trend of unconventional warfare in the information age seems toalign with thefact that the public is quicklylosing faith in the thinly veiledstate sponsored corporate media that is perpetually being broadcast acrossthe Western world. While it isnt a shock that governments incorporate these types of deceptive strategies against their own people, it is quite amazing that they openly acknowledge their actions. Maybe thetagline for Alex Jones InfoWars is more accurate than we would like to admit. It seems there really is a war on for our mind.

3	Govt Targets Private Bank Accounts, Seizes Funds Without Charge or TrialMac Slavo If so you may want to reconsider your options. Because if the following report from the Institute of Justice is any indication, nothing you hold in private bank account is safe anymore. Can the government use civil forfeiture to take your money when you have done nothing wrongand then pocket the proceeds? The IRS thinks so. For over 30 years, Terry Dehko has successfully run a grocery store in Fraser, Mich., with his daughter Sandy. In January 2013, without warning,the federal government used civil forfeiture to seize all of the money from the Dehkos store bank account (more than $35,000) even though theyve done absolutely nothing wrong. Their American Dream is now a nightmare. Federal civil forfeiture law features an appalling lack of due process: It empowers the government to seize private property from Americans without ever charging, let alone convicting, them of a crime. Perversely, the government then pockets the proceeds while providing no prompt way to get a court to review the seizure. On September 25, 2013, Terry and Sandy teamed up with the Institute for Justice to fight back in federal court. A victory will vindicate not just their right to be free from abusive forfeiture tactics, but the right of every American not to have their property wrongfully seized by government. Every year the government of the United States seizes tens of billions of dollars in taxpayer money and redistributes these funds to black projects which are often unaccounted for. On September 10th, 2001, for example, Sec. of Defense Donald Rumsfeld admitted that the D.O.D. had lost around $2.3 Trillion. The funds were unaccounted for and any investigation into where they went ended the following day when the office holding the records in question was reportedly destroyed in the Pentagon attack. No one was held to account. No one went to jail. No one was punished. Make a suspicious transaction or cant account for your money as a private citizen, however, and they will seize everything you own and treat you like a financial terrorist. There are no warrants, no charges, no court proceedings. They just take it. And if you dont comply, theyll send an IRS SWAT team through your front door and imprison you. Whats frightening about the experience of Terry and Sandy Dehko is that just months prior to their seizure of their assets the Internal Revenue Service completed an audit indicating that all of their records were legitimate, and their small business was operating within the guidelines of Federal tax law. No matter. When surveillance state flagging algorithms spotted them depositing suspicious amounts of money just below the $10,000 required federal reporting limit into their bank account, a necessity for the Dehkos because their insurance only covered up to $10,000 in losses, they were red flagged by automated monitoring systems as possible money launderers. Their $35,000 was subsequently seized after the IRS filed a secret warrant (a lot of that going around these days) accusing them of structuring. Because of the nature of civil forfeiture laws they now have to fight for their own money and prove their activities were legal. The IRS required no proof whatsoever. An accusation was enough. These heavy handed practices will not get any better going forward, especially considering the fiscal state of our nation. The IRS and other government agencies are booming, hiring on thousands of new employees for enforcement, and arming them with assault weapons and ammunitionfor those who reuse to comply. Last year the government took in over $4 billion in forfeiture money. How much of that was from Americans like the Dehkos, who did nothing wrong? One day soon, they will come for your money, too and probably a whole lot more. Do you need any more reason to get out of the banking system, or will you wait until they take everything youve worked for?

3	False Flag Or Standard Procedure? US Air Force Caught Repainting Several Jets To Appear RussianBy Whitney Webb Aggressor squadron have indeed been a part of US military war-games since the late 1960s. Planes that are painted to appear as the aggressor employ enemy tactics, techniques, and procedures in order to offer US soldiers a realistic simulation of air combat. During much of the Cold War, many of these aggressor planes were also painted in Russian colors to simulate combat encounters anticipated with the Soviet Union. Though the Cold War thankfully failed to develop into a full-scale military confrontation, the US Air Forces decision to use aggressor squadrons mimicking Russian jets once again is indicative that the US government undeniably views Russia as its enemy. Indeed, less than a year ago, the US Army Chief of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, called Russia aggressive and adversarial to the interests of the United States, making the nation the US #1 threat in the world. Milleys rhetoric, as well as that of other US military officials and politicians, has only become more hawkish over the past few months. Last week, Milley spoke to those who oppose the United States, warning them they they would be stopped and beaten harder than [they] have ever been beaten before. Moments later, he directly named Russia as an enemy of the state. However, it is not only the rhetoric of military officials that suggests that there are preparations under way for an imminent war between the US and Russia. Just four days ago, the Air Force practiced dropping dummy nukes from aircraft. Though no live warheads were used, the B61 nuclear bombs tested are considered critical elements of the US nuclear arsenal. Russia itself seems to think the threat of a major nuclear war is imminent as they recently held a massive, nationwide drill involving 40 million Russians to prepare for a nuclear disaster. The Russian government has also ordered the family members of all Russian government officials to return to Russia effective immediately. Yet, these obvious preparations for war have also raised understandable concerns that the newly painted jets could be used in a US-backed false flag operation. Indeed, many major wars involving the US were provoked by now-declassified false flags, such as the Spanish-American War (sinking of the USS Maine),US involvement in World War I (sinking of the Lusitania) and the Vietnam War (Gulf of Tonkin). Other suspected false flags, such as September 11th, have been blamed for justifying the now 15-year-old War on Terror. False flags have been so frequently employed by the US government for a variety of reasons that a former CIA agent admitted in an interview that every single terror attack in the US was a false flag. Given that the US has carried out false flags in the past for various purposes, what would they stand to gain from a false flag now, particularly one involving Russian jets? Actually, the Obama administration stands to gain a lot from any potential false flag, especially one that could pin civilian deaths on the Russians in Syria. In the past weeks, the US and its allies have been relentlessly accusing Russia of bombing civilians in Aleppo as well as UN aid convoy. However, these claims have been based on speculation and wishful thinking. The State Department, in an extremely awkward press conference, failed to name a single example of civilian infrastructure Russia had bombed in Aleppo, and mounting evidence suggests the US-led coalition was actually to blame for the destruction of the UN aid convoy. A false flag in which jets disguised as Russian aircraft savagely bomb Syrian civilians would be just what the Obama administration has been waiting for ever since the conflict began in 2011. Such a bombing, regardless of whether or not it is staged, would allow the US to justify military action against both Russia and the Syrian government and pursue its long-admitted goal of regime change in Syria. Whether the painted jets will be used for such a nefarious purpose is hard to say as both possibilities seem equally likely considering the dangerous and high-stake situation at hand. Yet, regardless of the real motivation behind the paint job, both possibilities sadly seem to lead toward the same, terrifying conclusion: war is on the horizon. What are your thoughts?

Dont forget ;EVERY false flag conveniently had a drill for the same scenario just down the road. Nobody died; all actors, some of whom have appeared at more than one event. Unfortunately the US is known to be completely untrustworthy having participated in false flags for many,many decades. I wouldnt be the least bit surprised if these repainted jets were used to kill a whole lot of Syrians, in order to get the orders the US air force craves, total destruction if Syria! False Flag = Martial Law = Suspended Elections Indefinitely = Obama the first American Caliphates. Wait for it. This is the worst fear people who are wide awake have been saying and watching for over a very long span of time. Let us pray it is not so. Let us also keep watch in case it happens. i dont trust this painting for anything. Just why would this be done.We have been confronted with a number of false Flags.fast and furious. sandy hook mess. False alarms. scalias cover-up. look at our fast they wanted to have obama find a replacement.??? THIS PAINTING OF RUSSIA PLANES TELLS ME OBAMA WANT TO USE THEM AS A SCARE TACTIC ON US. IF ANY OF YOU BEEN READING OBAMA US PUSHING PUNTIN TO HIS LIMIT OVER THERE. RUSSIA HAS CALLED BECK ITS AMBASSADORS AND THEIR KIDS IN COLLEGE OVER HERE.-WHY PEOPLE -THINK.???? OBAMA IS PUSHING FOR WAR SO HE DOESNT LEAVE OFFICE.COME ON WE ALL KNOW HOW HE THINKS.!!!! I have thought for a long time that our own military will be used to hit some US cities by accident and these painted like Russian hardware would be the perfect ruse. This is made even more imaginable after the drill dropping false nukes. Recently a local retired woman who had been a librarian attended a police simulation training for civilians with her husband and got shot killed with live ammo when it was supposed to be blanks. Gauging public response? The BUNO ID is covered on the vertical stabilizer on the Navy plane,unusual. The star on the tail fin is in sharper focus than the rest of the photo. The pictures have been photoshopped. When it comes to iding military aircraft in the event of a war or skirmish pitting us against the Russians say for instance in Syria that would be fairly easy. The ones being shot out of the sky by the Russians superior air defense systems?? Those belong to us. The ones still flying being covered protected by those same superior anti-aircraft defenses?? Those are Russian Come on! Just google Agressor Squadron. This is not a false flag. FFS. Where were the photos taken?.No one seems to know and until we know that the story is not a story. If they are taken in the US then there is no story. 
1	Although there is a slim chance the darn things might have rolled under the stove, Michigan resident Irene Sullivan, 50, stated conclusively Sunday that buttons, like the nice red ones on her favorite sweater, cannot simply vanish without a trace. 'I know they don't just sprout legs and walk away, that's for sure,' Sullivan told reporters from her position on all fours below the kitchen table. 'Oh, for crying out loud, is that a baby carrot under the fridge?' The mother of two could not provide any further information as to why these things always happen right before church, but did refer back to an earlier declaration that if it's not one thing, it's another. 
1	Holiday celebrations took an extreme turn Saturday as an unruly mob of out-of-control holiday revelers observed the shit out of the Christmas season, violently decking 11 area halls. The aftermath of Saturday's brutal hall-decking spree. The revelers responsible are still at large. According to police reports, at approximately 9 p.m., after consuming large quantities of 60-proof egg nog, the frenzied throng of 40 to 50 revelers broke into the home of Ames resident Milton Krajcek, aggressively decking his halls with wreaths, garlands, ribbons, ceramic nativity scenes, tree ornaments, mistletoe, candy canes, and 'shitloads' of boughs of holly. Once their supplies were exhausted, the crazed merrymakers rode in pickup trucks to a local ShopKo outlet to restock, only to return and continue decking the already overburdened halls. 'I begged them to stop,' Krajcek said, 'but they wouldn't until every last inch of my halls was decked beyond all recognition.' Not satisfied with forcibly festooning Krajcek's halls, the slavering, cheerful horde then turned to those of other locals, posing as holiday carolers to lure residents to their doors. 'I heard an ancient yuletide carol coming from the front porch,' said Millicent Slopes, 53, 'and was pretty worried because they were really tolling the hell out of it. I decided to acknowledge them so that maybe they would leave, but as soon as I opened the door, they poured into my house and went batshit on the halls. Look at my halls. I can barely squeeze through there, such was the force and vigor of their decking.' 'It was horrible,' said Francine Eppard, whose halls were also brutally decorated. 'There was tinsel everywhere.' Ames police officials are still searching for the binge revelers. If caught, they will be charged with breaking-and-entering, reckless and wanton decoration, second-degree festivity, and willful construction of toyland towns around six Christmas trees. 'The scum who did this will pay,' police chief Carl Pfeiffer said. 'No punishment could be too severe for perpetrators of this kind of senseless, senseless decking.' The wanted celebrants are described as inebriated suburbanites clad in gay apparel which they allegedly 'donned the holy living fuck out of,' according to Pfeiffer. Added the police chief: 'We have reason to believe they may be armed and extremely joyous.' Until the revelers are captured, Pfeiffer warned homeowners not to open their doors for carolers, strongly advising that nuts and cocoa instead be lowered from an upstairs window or pushed through a mail slot. 
1	Citing overwhelming evidence, 9/11 Truth movement adherent Dennis E. Shaw, 53, told reporters Tuesday that he believes the U.S. government has orchestrated a secret, intricate plot to systematically destroy his entire life over the past 11 years. Shaw, who since 2001 has lost his job, seen his marriage end, and, according to friends, completely alienated himself from mainstream society, argued that there are serious reasons to doubt the commonly accepted explanation that his slide into reclusion and paranoia was his own fault. The official story is all too familiar, said Shaw, a self-identified 9/11 Truther who hands out pamphlets at Kennedy Plaza from 2 to 6 p.m. every day. On Sept. 11, 2001, terrorists crashed three planes into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. Then, over the ensuing months and years, my obsession with the truth behind those events supposedly led to the gradual collapse of my personal and professional life. But this convenient little narrative requires us to believe a series of highly improbable coincidences. Open your eyes, and youll see the puppet masters fingerprints are all over my pathetic, seemingly self-destructive existence, he added. Pointing to a detailed timeline scrawled on poster board affixed to the wall of a studio apartment cluttered with 9/11 paraphernalia, Shaw reviewed the events that, he believes, happened too perfectly to be anything but the intentional, controlled demolition of [his] life. In January 2004, my wife said she wished I spent more time with her instead of on Internet Truther forums, yet somehow, in April of that very same year she complained that it was becoming unbearable to be around me, he said, showing reporters a day-by-day account of the couples failed relationship. It simply doesnt add up that Melissa would say she wanted to be with me both more often and less oftenunless, that is, an outside party like the U.S. government wanted her to say it. Meanwhileand this is where it really gets interestingon four separate occasions in 2002 I recorded my mother saying she thought my research was interesting and worth thinking about, continued the man, who confirmed he has watched the film series Loose Change seven or eight times in the past week. How was it, then, that by November of the following year she was calling it crazy and sad, a complete reversal of her original stance? Shaw went on to present a chart showing the suspiciously rapid disintegration of his friendships since 2001, noting the disparity between the 258 social interactions he shared with his best friend, Stephen Danforth, in the years before 2001 and the mere 17 interactions theyve had since then, a decline Shaw said cant be explained by pure, random chance. Recently, the 53-year-old created a website dedicated to uncovering what really happened to Dennis E. Shaws life, in which he posits the existence of a shadowy government conspiracy whose sole purpose is to engineer his downfall. Everyones in on itBush, Cheney, Bernanke, Israel, and now Obama, said Shaw, claiming that an entire life and career couldnt just collapse like this all on its own. Not a single one of them has ever come forward to deny their involvement in the destruction of my life. Even ignoring the rest of the evidence, Shaw remarked, the fact that he lost his job as a reporter for The Providence Journal mere weeks after writing articles in which he described 9/11 as an inside job was, in itself, a smoking gun in Uncle Sams hand. On the evening of October 28, 2005, I handed in an article exposing Bush and Cheneys cover-up of the real 9/11 Commission report. Well, what a surprise that the very next morning I was fired from my job by my editor, a man I have reason to believe has connections to the FBI, the CIA and, yes, Dick Cheney, said Shaw, whose former employer cited repeated breaches of journalistic integrity and erratic behavior as the reason for Shaws dismissal. Fast-forward three years and my rent has shot up, my credit score has dropped, and Melissa is no longer taking my calls. You think that was all some kind of magical coincidence? Think again. Smoking cigarette after cigarette, Shaw then proceeded to show reporters a homemade videotape he shot of his ex-wife returning to his apartment to pick up her toaster, rewinding the tape over and over again to spot what he believed could be government surveillance devices concealed in her clothing. The facts speak for themselvesIm just connecting the dots, said Shaw, reiterating that only the sinister machinations of the U.S. government could make a formerly happy, stable human being totally fall to pieces. We must keep fighting for the truth, if not simply out of respect for justice, then at least out of respect for the innocent victim of this calculated crime. 
3	UN Monitors Spy for WashingtonStephen Lendman, Contributor It authorized 300 observers to monitor a cessation of armed violence in all its forms by all parties and to monitor and support the full implementation of the (Annan plan) to end the conflict in Syria. On June 16, UNSMIS suspended its activities subject to daily review. On June 17, Chinas Xinhua News Agency headlined Suspension of UN observer mission serves for western next step in Syria, saying: Next steps involve political transition. Military options may be chosen. Syria said violence escalated markedly after UN monitors arrived. Insurgents carried out massacres and at least five huge bombings.in different parts of the country. National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said Washington is working with allies regarding next steps toward a Syrian-led political transition without Assad. America wants war. Its pushing for militarization. Reports say around 6,000 people, including Arabs, Afghans and Turks, have been recruited and trained by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to commit terrorist acts in Syria. On June 15, UN mission head General Robert Mood said: There appears to be a lack of willingness to seek a peaceful transition. Instead there is a push towards advancing military positions. He pointed fingers largely at Assad. He left his real motives unexplained. On June 19, Russia Today (RT.com) headlined Syria UN mission headed by spy? saying: An unnamed Jordanian UNSMIS monitor accused Mood of gathering critical coordinates and visiting military bases for his own purposes. Syrian state media published his remarks. Sources say Norwegian General Mood took his convoy to the city of Tartus last Friday, where no violence was reported. His convoy also went to Rastan far from fighting. He and others went straight to the Syrian Armys military installation, again without any apparent connection to (his) mandate. Syrians say hes spying. His mission isnt about monitoring crisis conditions. Analysts recall how Iraq weapons inspectors were fraudulently used. More on that below. Press TV reported the same story. Lebanons al-Diyar newspaper said an unnamed Jordanian monitor accused General Mood and other UNSMIS members of conduct(ing) acts of espionage against the Syrian government. Military areas visited included Daraa, Homs, and Idlib. Theyre where Syria maintains air and defensive air army facilities. Videos were made. Targeted sites included an al-Hareh aerial reconnaissance base and a military installation located between Nowi and al-Sheikh al-Meskin. Spying on the pretext of monitoring is common US practice. Press TV also said Syrian insurgents are getting Israeli weapons. Theyre smuggled in from Turkey and Lebanon. Images taken from the strategic mountainous region show trenches constructed and used by the armed groups. Weapons made in Israel and imported ammunition chests were also found. Israeli President Shimon Peres said he respected armed gangs that expose themselves to live fire and I hope that they will win. Previous reports also confirmed that Israel supplies insurgents with weapons. Its actively involved with Washingtons regime change plans. A separate Press TV report accused CIA and Mossad operatives for Syrian massacres. Deputy head of Turkeys Felicity Party, Temel Karamollaoglu, said: Not only the Syrian crisis will not be solved, but (Washington and Israel are heading the country for) civil war. Due to having common interests in Syria, the US, Israel, and the EU make no attempt to stop bloodshed in the country. On the one hand, he added, Western countries claim they support peace. On the other, they stoke conflict. Their motives are clearly transparent. On January 7, 1999, The New York Times headlined US Spied on Iraq Under UN Cover, saying: Unnamed US officials confirmed it. American spies had worked undercover on teams of United Nations arms inspectors ferreting out secret Iraqi weapons programs. Saddams government said UN teams were riddled with American spies and agents. Scientists, military officers, diplomats and other professionals serve on the commission. The United States included some intelligence officers, using diplomatic cover or other professional identities, to gather intelligence independently, according to the officials. Former Iraq chief weapons inspector Scott Ritter (1991 1998) said CIA operatives corrupted UNSCOM. It was the special commission to investigate alleged Iraqi WMDs. Ritter called it a facade. It wasnt about disarming Iraq. It was used for regimechange. GWH Bush ordered it. Clinton and GW Bush continued it. Ritter and other monitors understood the scheme. Washington controlled the process. UNSCOM was a Trojan Horse. Saddam, not WMDs, were targeted. Aggressive spying was conducted. War was waged on false pretenses. Official reasons given were to disarm Saddam. It was a bald-faced lie. Intelligence was fixed to justify policy. Nobody wants to talk about the deception, the lies, the distortion that took place. The pattern repeats. Lies facilitate wars. Theyre based on misinformation, fabrication, and managed news. At issue is replacing independent regimes with pro-Western puppet ones. Iraq was never about national security or international peace. It was about advancing Americas hegemonic interests. Syria and Iran are targeted for the same reason. Ritters book titled Iraq Confidential: The Untold Story of the Intelligence Conspiracy to Undermine the UN and Overthrow Saddam Husseinexplained more. Iraq was no noble cause. Its a disaster. Ends never justify means. Ousting Saddam didnt solve a problem. It created one. In October 1992, Ritter accounted for all Iraqi ballistic missile programs. The same year, an Iraqi defector with firsthand knowledge said all its biological weapons were destroyed. The CIA knew this, said Ritter. They also knew that Saddam fully cooperated on virtually everything related to disarmament. Ritters team got free access in accordance with modalities of sensitive site inspections. In 1990, Saddam went from Americas true friend to the equivalent of Adolph Hitler. Gaddafi underwent a similar transition. So did Assad. Post-9/11, US officials said he directly aided Americas war on terror. At the same time, relations fluctuated between friendly cooperation and icy tension. On December 29, 1979, the State Department declared Syria a state sponsor of terrorism. At issue was supporting Palestinian groups and Hezbollah. Damascus said it rejects terrorism but backs resistance to Israels illegal occupation of Arab land. Despite differences, US/Syrian relations warmed. Congressional delegations visited Damascus. Nonetheless, Bush administration Undersecretary of State John Bolton called Syria a rogue state. Damascus University Law Professor Mohammed Aziz Shukri asked: When President Assad receives a letter from (Secretary of State) Colin Powell thanking him for his invaluable help in pursuing terrorists, how in the name of heaven can we be called a terrorist state? He and other Syrians accused Washington of double standard politics. Syrias information minister Adnan Omran added: What is really strange now in the American administration is that we hear many voices coming from different corners and a lot of contradiction. I wonder if this is a healthy sign especially when it comes to the policy of a superpower. We want to see good relations existing between the US and Syria based on mutual respect, commitment to international principles, and the UN charter and not to (Washingtons) blindly prejudiced position and alliance with Israel. Assad concurred. At the same time, he was uncompromisingly hardline on Israel. Perhaps it was his kiss of death. Netanyahu and Americas Israeli Lobby want him ousted. Obama willingly obliges. Moreover, flip-flop is official US policy. Todays ally is tomorrows enemy. Its also true vice versa and, at times, Washington uses individuals, groups, and nations as friends and foes. Wars ravaged Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. Saddam and Gaddafi were killed. Assad knows what hes up against. Perhaps hes next.

2	WATCH: Reporter Slams All Republicans That Are Voting For Hillary Instead Of Trump [VIDEO] This has been one of the most controversial campaign trails weve seen to date, and the nation has erupted into a heated debate now that it looks like Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will be going head to head. Many Republicans have come forward with claims that they cannot support Trump. Tomi Lahren of The Blaze has a strong message for them, which she released on Facebook this week in response to the #NeverTrump movement that asks Republicans to boycott Trump. Watch her message below and tell us what you think. Do you agree? Do we need to do everything in our power to make sure Clinton stays far away from the White House? 
1	Judging by his 18-month-old son's recent cognitive developments, local father Ryan Hardell figures he has about three more months to get drunk, curse, and make cruel jokes before the child begins forming long-term memories. 'It's pretty great not having to second-guess whether the shit I'm doing is causing irreparable psychological harm, so I'd better make the most of the next 10 weeks or so,' Hardell told reporters Thursday, explaining that thus far he has been able, with total impunity, to pretend as though he were about to throw his son in the trash to make his friends laugh and watch R-rated movies with him. 'It's too bad. I'm really going to miss jokingly calling the boy an asshole every time he drops something.' According to sources, Hardell has no immediate plans to stop walking around the house nude.

2	Liberals Are Going After Clint Eastwood For This Unthinkable Reason Clint Eastwood caused quite the stir when he showed up to the Oscars with his girlfriend Christina Sandera, who is much younger than he. Eastwood, 84, met Sandera when she was working as a hostess at his Mission Ranch Hotel in California. Now, its been revealed that she has a violent criminal record. Before meeting Eastwood, Sandera was in an 11-month marriage to a bakery shop owner that ultimately ended in domestic battery charges against the young waitress. It was hellI wish Clint all the luck in the world with that woman, Paul Wainscoat told reporters. Wainscoat and Sandera married in 2002, but reports reveal an incident happened several months before that. The fight allegedly broke out because Sandera was upset at [Wainscoat]because he decided not to move in. When Wainscoat tried to leave the argument, Sandera grabbed onto his shirt and scratched his neck to prevent him. When the cops arrived on the scene, Sandera was arrested for domestic battery. Reports indicate that Sandera was likely drinking during the time. Waincoat now claims that Sandera had violent episodes throughout their marriage, citing one incident in particular where she threatened to axe all their furniture. The marriage broke just 11 months into the marriage, when Wainscoat reported that he was being battered by his wife. Although Wainscoat did not press charges the second time around, he filed for divorce. What do you think? Does Sandera sound like trouble for Eastwood? 
3	Scientists Fear CIA Funding Geoengineering to Control Weaponized Weatherselfnews Post In fact, a NASA Jet Propulsion Lab scientist warned that a rogue geoengineer could even hold the power to blackmail the planet. The issue at hand is who is steering the weather not whether it is being steered. While the masses are debating that the chemtrail phenomenon daily vandalizing our skies is conspiracy make-believe, others are watching for clues to what has been dubbed, a New Manhattan Project evidently ongoing for decades now, pursued by scientific and military entities, but executed under silence and ignorance in the public. Peter A. Kirby detailed much of this recent history of secret chemtrail experimentation: This paper is the result of thousands of dollars and countless hours spent researching many thousands of pages of source, organizational and Government documents related to weather modification and the atmospheric sciences. This article serves as the foundation for a series of shortly forthcoming articles detailing the history and current state of this Project. May this work help end the spraying. For the fact that these environmental modifications have been done without our informed consent, may this work contribute to the largest class-action lawsuit in history. This paper examines the origins and development of this; the first planetary level scientific endeavor. Now is our opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the New Manhattan Project. After detailing several key projects by military scientists and academic researchers in the 20th and 21st Century, Kirby concludes: Story #1: Spy Agencies Fund Climate Research in Hunt for Weather Weapon CIA Funding Geoengineering to Weaponize Weather Chemtrails Exposed: A History of the New Manhattan Project CIA Accuses Russia Of Manipulating The Worlds Weather Flashback: Operation Popeye Weaponized Weather During Vietnam War The London Guardian just reported on concerns from a senior scientist about how methods of modifying weather ostensibly to offset climate change are indeed becoming weaponized weather but at the hands of who? For certain, the CIA has been involved for several years now: Alan Robock, a climate scientist at Rutgers University in New Jersey, has called on secretive government agencies to be open about their interest in radical work that explores how to alter the worlds climate. [] The CIA was a major funder of the National Academies report so that makes me really worried who is going to be in control, he said. Other funders included Nasa, the US Department of Energy, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Robock said he became suspicious about the intelligence agencies involvement in climate change science after receiving a call from two men who claimed to be CIA consultants three years ago. They said: We are working for the CIA and wed like to know if some other country was controlling our climate, would we be able to detect it? I think they were also thinking in the back of their minds: If we wanted to control somebody elses climate could they detect it? He replied that if a country wanted to create a stratospheric cloud large enough to change the climate, it would be visible with satellites and ground-based instruments. The use of the weather as a weapon was banned in 1978 under the Environmental Modification Convention (Enmod). Keep in mind that even after the Atomic Bomb was revealed to the world, many other aspect of the Manhattan Project remained secret, and research continued in secret under other project names. In 1998, the Stanford Environmental Law Journal published a paper calling for a Climate Change Manhattan Project, to accomplish what the Kyoto agreement, Al Gore and an assorted cast of greenies have not been able to: In the post-Kyoto world, we need more than promises of emissions cuts and tradeable permits. We need a Climate Change Manhattan Project. If geoengineering as a climate fix can officially trigger droughts, alter the monsoon season and create irregular rain patterns for billions, what is this technology capable of in secret, when it is weaponized? And who will it be aimed at? Further Reading: 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. 
3	New Bill Incites Fears of Fringe Beliefs in SchoolsHeather Callaghan When reading the bill, it appears to lift a muzzle and encourage more analysis why is that making people so angry? Its receiving all kinds of backlash from local media, teachers and educational organizations. The flak focuses on what they view as a move to push creationism into schools. Turns out, the real fear is, fringe beliefs seeping into the classroom. Here is the section in question: C. Neither the Board nor any local school board, division superintendent, or school board employee shall prohibit any public elementary or secondary school teacher from helping students understand, analyze, critique, and review in an objective manner the scientific strengths and scientific weaknesses of existing scientific theories covered in science classes. Furthermore, neither toto promote or discriminate against any religious or nonreligious doctrine, promote or discriminate against a particular set of religious beliefs or nonbeliefs, or promote or discriminate against religion or nonreligion. Glenn Branch, Deputy Director of the National Center for Science Education, said The rhetoric of these bills is speciously attractive, appealing to values of open inquiry and the like, he added. In fact, though, they would in effect permit science teachers with idiosyncratic opinions to teach anything they pleased proponents of creationism and climate change denial are the usual intended beneficiaries of such bills and prevent responsible educational authorities from intervening. But the local paper goes on to say: Therefore, teachers enamored of crank theories like creationism, climate change denial, geocentrism, flat-earthism, vaccine denial, homeopathy, perpetual motion, or others could teach them in class confident that their administrators couldnt interfere, Branch said. Not sure how prevalent that is in the public school system, but isnt this what homeschool parents get accused of? Sheltering their kids from other belief systems A complaint read elsewhere about possible disruption in the classroom should probably read more like a throwback to No Child Left Behind But where is the time allotted for such discussion? I barely get enough time to teach the materials as it is. The biggest complaint I ever heard from teachers is I just wanted to teach. Its all about the state tests now and my job is on the line if they fail And this was from teachers who just wanted to delve deeper or do more Bill Nye experiments not teach that vaccines are the devils fingers or Darwin is burning in hell But opponents worry that theyve been given no guidance on how to deal with these questions (should there even be time for them) not exactly a good defense, though, for what they call already excellent science standards in critical thinking. A legitimate fear would be a hijacking of lecture time when there is so much pressure for passing test scores. But its not forcing them to teach a non-mainstream curriculum. Oh, thats not leaving. Its not even forcing them to answer a controversial question. The intent appears to be lifting a (possible) barrier, protecting them in the event they answer a controversial question and mention two opposing theories. And what of tolerance, eh? The irony is, opponents are calling this bill a way to politicize education. The thing that the conflicting groups are losing sight of is who is caught in the middle of both of these politically motivated moves? Children and teens who just showed up to learn and dont realize they are not hearing the full range of information. Until they get into the real world and realize they have one line of thinking but few tools to even argue for it. And this bill wont alter that its a systemic issue. On that note, why would highly educated teachers feel so threatened by a potential opportunity (not a mandate) to analyze strengths and weaknesses of any theory? Especially if the theories are so accepted. Isnt that the whole idea of developing a hypothesis? Has not scientific thought been wrong before? Who gets the authority to label thought as crazy, bad, crank, fringe, or the like? Differing theories tend to sharpen logical thought, rather than prohibit it. God forbid oops Gates forbid that schools allow time from test-outcome learning or behavior molding Common Core to answer questions that go against personal beliefs and could rattle mainstream bedrock. Because the last thing you ever want to do is shake it up or question authority. Gee its just too bad there isnt some type of non-state sponsored highly individualized form of education that relies heavily on parental involvement, choice in interest-geared topics and leaves plenty of room for questions, critical thinking, diverse beliefs and exploration.

2	Bill OReilly Holds Nothing Back After Disgraceful Performance At The Debate, Hillary Clinton Is An _______ Fox News Bill OReilly has made it very clear that he is not a fan of Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. He is surely not alone in that sentiment, but he has been one of the most vocal about it. This week, following the first debate, OReilly criticized Clintons performance. He did, however, note that she has something on Donald Trump. Its like sports. Youve been there before, OReilly commented. It takes a little bit of the edge off, and so I think she has the advantage. Shes well-versed on policy. She can deal with pretty much any issue you put in front of her, so youd have to say, handicapping it, she has the advantage. But OReilly wasnt too generous. The basket of deplorables really hurt her because thats condescending, he commented. Speaking down. Americans, even if they dont like Trump, dont like that. Theres been so many things about her. She comes off as an ice queen. And again, this is a lot of personality involved in this election, a lot of personality. What do you think? Do you agree with OReilly that Hillary is an ice queen? 
1	A fraction of a second after wiping out on a patch of ice, South Burlington pedestrian Isaac Berkman loudly insisted that he was fine. 'I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine,' Berkman, 24, told concerned onlookers before he even straightened his badly twisted legs and attempted to stand up. 'I'm okay.' After noticing a deep gash just below his left knee, Berkman instantly assured witnesses that the heavily bleeding wound was 'no biggie' and 'totally under control.' 
2	Public Schools Now Teaching Kids A Class On Kanye West... We Are Not Joking According to recent reports, it appears that some University of Missouri students are throwing their student loans towards a copy of Watch the Throne. And no, they arent breaking the law. They are simply signing up for English 2169, where they will study rappers to the likes of Jay-Z and Kanye West. Professor Andrew Hoberek, who has a background in 20th century literature, introduced the class in 2013. The class filled quickly, and sure enough, the course description can be found again in the catalogue for the Fall 2014 semester. The course description is below: This course looks at the career and work of Jay-Z and Kanye West from three perspectives: (1) Where do they fit within, and how do they change, the history of hip-hop music? (2) How is what they do similar to and different from what poets do?, and (3) How does their rise to both celebrity and corporate power alter what we understand as the American dream? In addition to listening to music and watching videos, we will also read Jay-Zs Decoded; histories of and critical works on rap music by Jeff Chang, Adam Bradley, and others; and one or two good studies of how poetry works. According to Hoberek, he was listening to a lot of Kanye and Jay-Z when he was trying to decide what classes to offer, and hed heard of pop culture-themed courses at other universities. According to The Huffington Post, Hoberek designed his course around the following: (1) the history of poetic form in English, and how it does and doesnt apply to rap; (2) the history of rap as a new art form; (3) how to do research into popular culture; and (4) how to become a better, more knowledgeable listener to rap. While Hoberek considers the class a success, others have questions as to whether students should be spending their tuition money supporting rappers like Kanye West. What do you think? Would you let your child study these two rappers? 
1	A study released Tuesday by the National Institute for Mental Health confirmed that the vast majority of Americans anxieties and phobias have no logical grounding in reality, aside from those related to being attacked in open waters and torn limb from limb by a gigantic, merciless shark. Our research shows that peoples most common fears, such as the fear of flying or heights, are wholly unfounded, with the notable exception of the fear of a tiger shark swimming up undetected while you wade in the surf, latching its piercing teeth into your thigh, and dragging you screaming out to sea, said the studys lead author, Michael Buckley, citing clinical studies that described any pervasive sense of paranoia unrelated to being disemboweled by an inescapable frenzy of five sharks while swimming close to shore as entirely irrational. We found that those individuals who expressed anxiety about public speaking, small spaces, germs, darkness, and nearly every other clinically identifiable source of phobia spent much of their time worriedly obsessing over these unrealistic concerns when they would have been far better served to channel this dread toward the very real danger of entering the ocean with a small cut or a piece of shiny jewelry and splashing around too close to the surface, all things that are likely to instigate a lethal bull shark or great white attack. According to Buckley, the only two other reasonable and completely justified phobias discovered in the course of the study were the fear of getting caught in a swarm of killer bees and the fear of dying alone. 
2	Gary Sinise Stops Grammys To Thank Our Troops [VIDEO] It takes a lot of courage for an actor to stand up to liberal Hollywood and tell them what they really believe in. It takes even more courage to do that on the stage of the Grammys. But that is exactly what Gary Sinise decided to do. In the clip that has since gone viral, Gary Sinise went up to present an award and decided to seize the opportunity to remind America who this countrys true role models are. He went off-script to give a well-deserved shout out to the men and women in uniform who are risking their lives to keep our country safe. Watch the footage below and tell us what you think. Do you applaud Sinise for doing this? 
1	Striking down the judicial precedent that established the legal supremacy of right over wrong more than two centuries ago, the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday overturned Right v. Wrong. The landmark reversala bitterly contested 5-4 decision that has been widely praised by murderers, rapists, bigots, usurers, and pro-wrong advocates nationwidenullifies all previously lawful forms of right and makes it very difficult for Americans to make ethical decisions or be generally decent human beings without facing criminal charges. 'It is the opinion of this court that the Constitution was crafted in such a manner as to uphold and encourage practices that are not right and, ideally, are very wrong,' Justice Antonin Scalia wrote for the majority, which also included Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy, and John Roberts. 'Despite the compelling case for goodness, truth, and justice made by our predecessors in the case of Right v. Wrong, we firmly believe that malice, dishonesty, and injustice were the framers' original intent.' 'The ruling today rights an age-old wrong in which right has consistently, and unconstitutionally, prevailed,' Justice Alito wrote in a concurring opinion, adding that the decision between right and wrong did not present a difficult choice for him. 'It is clear the earlier court erred when issuing the Right decision.' The ruling in Right v. Wrong was handed down in 1790 by the Supreme Court's six original members, all of whom sided with the plaintiff, prompting Chief Justice John Jay to write, 'It is the emphatic province and duty of this highest judicial tribunal to rule in favor of Right, as the argument in support of Right is the right one, and the argument in support of Wrong is the wrong one.' Since that time, the verdict has been cited in most legal rulings at the state and federal level, and has been upheld by the Supreme Court numerous times, most notably in a 1974 opinion overturning a Six Circuit Court of Appeals decision that would have re-segregated the nation's schools, abolished the minimum wage, legalized evil, and allowed law enforcement officials to conduct searches and seizures without a warrant. This term, the high court agreed to hear the appeal of an Arizona state judge's ruling for the defendant in the case of Good v. Bad, a decision that had once more called into question the basic tenets of Right v. Wrong. 'If you look at the current makeup of the court, the verdict is hardly surprising,' said law professor Erwin Chemerinsky, adding that given recent decisions to permit unlimited corporate spending in electoral politics, crack down on civil liberties, and allow the execution of Troy Davis to proceed, he believed the justices had been angling to do away with Right for some time. 'It's long been clear Roberts and Alito were in the camp favoring wrong, and Scalia's passionate criticism of the Right decision almost certainly swayed Justice Kennedy.' 'As for Justice Thomas, he was practically asleep when the attorneys representing Good gave their oral arguments,' Chemerinsky added. 'In terms of his job, that was definitely the wrong thing to do, so he made it pretty clear which side he was on.' Many constitutional scholars have argued the ruling sets a dangerous precedent whereby violent criminals could conceivably appeal their convictions and, citing the federal judiciary's rejection of Right, be acquitted of their crimes. According to reports, the impact of the verdict has already been felt, with a Massachusetts man murdering three people this morning in front of several Boston police officers who by law could do nothing but watch. In addition, a woman who volunteered at a Toledo, OH soup kitchen has been arrested, sentenced to six months in jail, and fined $25,000. 'This ruling is so broad that even those who show an intent to do right can be prosecuted,' said Martha Minow, dean of Harvard Law School. 'Make no mistake, the court is sending a message to pro-right supporters that fairness and equality are no longer the laws of the land. And the decision has no chance of being overturned in the immediate future, because the bench will be dominated by pro-wrong advocates for years to come.' Justice Stephen Breyer chose to read his dissenting opinion aloud before the court, a rare gesture apparently aimed at expressing the full measure of his disgust with the verdict. 'The court needs to overturn this ruling immediately because, simply put, it's the right thing to do,' said the associate justice, who, along with his colleagues joining him in the minority, was then arrested by Capitol Police, placed into custody, and is currently awaiting trial. 
3	FOIA Documents Show TOR Undernet Beyond the Reach of the Federal InvestigatorsFOIA Request: silk road anonymous marketplace (DOJ) Recently released documents detail the federal governments inability to pursue cybercriminals shrouded by the tricky anonymity tools used by the Silk Road marketplace and other darknet sites tools which are funded in part by the federal government itself. In this particular case, a citizen reported stumbling upon a cache of child pornography while browsing the anonymous Tor networks hidden sites, which are viewable with specialized, but readily available, tools and the special .onion domain. Documents, released through a Freedom of Information Act request by Jason Smathers on MuckRock, show that after being given details of the illicit material, investigators were stymied as to the origin of the pornographys host. In the investigators own words, there is not currently a way to trace the origin of the website. As such no other investigative leads exist. The FBI and DEA had been directed to investigate Tor networks, and specifically the Silk Road marketplace where users can buy and sell legal and illegal goods anonymously using a combination of Tor and the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, by Senator Charles Schumer who stated that the DEA was aware of the site and most likely investigating it. A nearly identical request regarding Silk Road to the Drug Enforcement Agency was rejected as being too broad or burdensome to process, while the Secret Service claimed it had no responsive documents, as did the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. The DEA has touted infiltrating similar anonymous Tor marketplaces in the past. Despite the illegal ends of these marketplaces, the technology was begun and still operates with more noble aims: It was originally sponsored by the US Naval Research Lab, and later maintained by the Tor Project, a non-profit group supported financially at various times by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, various governmental and NGO entities, Google and the National Science Foundation. The technology has proven important in puncturing through Internet censorship and tracking attempts around the world. You can support this information by voting on Reddit HERE.

3	Turning Crops, Animals And Even Babies Into Genetic Monsters - What Could Possibly Go Wrong?Michael Snyder, Contributor Scientists claim that they are making our crops stronger, more productive and less vulnerable to insects. Scientists claim that they can alter our animals so that they are more useful to us. Scientists claim that genetic modification is only going to enhance humanity. But what if something goes seriously wrong? For example, what if we learn that eating genetically modified food is really, really bad for us? Well, at this pointmore than 70 percent of the processed foods sold in the United States contain at least one ingredient that has been genetically modified. It would be kind of hard to go back now. We have rushed ahead and have created hordes of freakish genetic monsters without ever seriously considering the consequences. Someday, future generations may look back on us and wonder how we could have ever been so incredibly foolish. Frankenfood We were promised that genetically modified crops would enable us to feed the world. Well, the world is still starving, but we sure have seen super weeds, super pests and super diseases all develop as a result of genetic modification. As far as the real world mutated bollworms are concerned, theyre starting to take off in China. The researchers discovered that resistance-conferring mutations in cotton bollworm were three times more common in northern China than in areas of northwestern China where less Bt cotton has been grown. A recent NPR article detailed how we are seeing something similar happen in the United States. Rootworms are becoming resistant to the toxins grown inside Bt corn, and this is starting to cause major problems. The scientists who called for caution now are saying I told you so, because thereare signs that a new strain of resistant rootworms is emerging. In eastern Iowa, northwestern Illinois, and parts of Minnesota and Nebraska, rows of Bt corn have toppled over, their roots eaten by rootworms. Entomologist Aaron Gassmann at Iowa State University, who authored the PLoS One paper, collected insects from some of these fields and found many with a greater-than-expected ability to tolerate Bt. This wasnt supposed to happen. But it is happening. Meanwhile, we are also now learning that Bt corn may not be quite as safe for humans as we had been promised. The following is from a recent article by Dr. Mercola. Last year, doctors at Sherbrooke University Hospital in Quebec found Bt-toxin in the blood of: The study authors speculate that the Bt toxin was likely consumed in the normal diet of the Canadian middle classwhich makes sense when you consider that genetically engineered corn is present in the vast majority of all processed foods and drinks in the form of high fructose corn syrup. They also suggest that the toxin may have come from eating meat from animals fed Bt corn, which most livestock raised in confined animal feeding operations (CAFO, or so-called factory farms) are. These shocking results raise the frightening possibility that eating Bt corn might actually turn your intestinal flora into a sort of living pesticide factory essentially manufacturing Bt-toxin from within your digestive system on a continuing basis. If this hypothesis is correct, is it then also possible that the Bt-toxin mightdamage the integrity of your digestive tract in the same way it damages insects? Remember, the toxin actually ruptures the stomach of insects, causing them to die. The biotech industry has insisted that the Bt-toxin doesnt bind or interact with the intestinal walls of mammals (which would include humans). But again, there are peer-reviewed published research showing that Bt-toxin does bind with mouse small intestines and with intestinal tissue from rhesus monkeys. Are you sure that the food that you are eating is safe?For much more on the dangers of eating genetically modified food, check out this article. Turning Our Animals Into Monsters Scientists all over the world seem to have no problem messing with our animals either. Recently it was revealed that scientists in China have genetically modified 300 cows to produce milk that has many of the same qualities that human breast milk does. So how did they do this?Well, they inserted human genes into the cows.So those cows are now essentially part human and part cow.Are you disturbed yet?You should be. In a previous article, I detailed quite a few other examples of how they are turning our animals into genetic monsters. Scientists are even creating spider goats and fluorescent cats now. And these are just the things that they are admitting to publicly. Can you imagine what kind of bizarre monsters are being created in private? Genetically Modified Humans? Sadly, now even human babies are being genetically modified. Recently it was reported that scientists have created babies that have three parents. The following is from a recent Daily Mail article. The worlds first genetically modified humans have been created, it was revealed last night. The disclosure that 30 healthy babies were born after a series of experiments in the United States provoked another furious debate about ethics. So far, two of the babies have been tested and have been found to contain genes from three parents. Fifteen of the children were born in the past three years as a result of one experimental programme at the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science of St Barnabas in New Jersey. The babies were born to women who had problems conceiving. Extra genes from a female donor were inserted into their eggs before they were fertilised in an attempt to enable them to conceive. Genetic fingerprint tests on two one-year- old children confirm that they have inherited DNA from three adults two women and one man. The fact that the children have inherited the extra genes and incorporated them into their germline means that they will, in turn, be able to pass them on to their own offspring. Will those babies be allowed to reproduce someday? If so, that genetic material will get into the general population, and once that happens there will be no retrieving it. But scientists are so excited that they are able to do some of these things that they never stop to ask whether they should be doing these things. Scientists all over the globe have also been creating creatures that are part-human and part-animal in an attempt to find cures for various diseases. In a previous article, I quoted a Daily Mail article which discussed the human-animal hybrid embryos that are secretly being created in British labs. Scientists have created more than 150 human-animal hybrid embryos in British laboratories. The hybrids have been produced secretively over the past three years by researchers looking into possible cures for a wide range of diseases. The revelation comes just a day after a committee of scientists warned of a nightmare Planet of the Apes scenario in which work on human-animal creations goes too far. Who in the world decided that this would be a good idea? This kind of mixing of animals and humans is even happening in the heartland of the United States. The following is from an article posted on MSNBC a number of years ago entitled Scientists Create Animals That Are Part-Human. On a farm about six miles outside this gambling town, Jason Chamberlain looks over a flock of about 50 smelly sheep, many of them possessing partially human livers, hearts, brains and other organs. What does being part-human mean? Is there something fundamental that sets us apart from the animals? If so, when is that line crossed? It is absolutely amazing that more people are not upset about this stuff. That same MSNBC article described some of the other things that scientists are doing with human genetic material. In the past two years, scientists have created pigs with human blood, fused rabbiteggs with human DNA and injected human stem cells to make paralyzed mice walk. Should science be able to do whatever it wants to with human DNA? Are we absolutely certain that all of these bizarre experiments will never have any very serious unintended consequences? Down in Missouri, scientists have been growing animals that are part pig and part human with the hope of being able to provide organs for human transplants. If you ever need an organ transplant, you might want to check where the organ is coming from. If you are not careful, doctors might implant an organ from a monster that is part-human and part-pig inside of you. Another very disturbing scientific movement that is gaining a lot of momentum right now is transhumanism. The idea is that humans can be greatly enhanced using computers, microchips, nanobots, micro-machines, genetic engineering and other cutting edge technologies. By merging humans and technology, those promoting transhumanism believe that humans can become much stronger and much more intelligent. They believe that aging, sickness, disease, disabilities, physical suffering and even death can eventually be totally eliminated. But at some point would such super humans cease to be human? And what would that mean for the rest of us? These are very important questions. Our world was created with incredible precision and with a natural balance between the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees. When we start messing with the basic building blocks of life, we open up Pandoras Box and we might not like the consequences. It is incredibly arrogant to think that we can turn our crops, our animals and even our babies into freakish genetic monsters and that everything will be just fine. We are ripping nature to shreds and we are rapidly destroying the environment that has been entrusted to us. In the end, I am afraid that we will pay a great price for our pride.

3	BBC Bias, Brexit, the EU, Bilderberg and Global GovernmentBy Steven MacMillan The BBC has always been the propaganda mouthpiece of the British establishment, yet many Britons still cling to the deluded notion that the BBC is an impartial news organisation. It is clear that the British establishment is desperate to keep Britain in the union, and this is reflected in the BBCs reporting of the issue. A Brexit may prove to be the catalyst which encourages other countries to leave, triggering the collapse of the EU entirely. Unless the Western elite manage to roll a collapsed EU into a more globally integrated system, this would be a disaster for the globalists. If European nations regain control over their own affairs and resort back to national sovereignty, the agenda of the shadow elite in the form of destroying nation-states and building a global empire will be severely impeded. The debate on whether Britain should leave or stay in the EU has been gathering pace in the UK for years, and the Prime Minister has finally set June 23rd as the date for the referendum. David Cameron is merely trying to appease some factions in Britain who are pro-national sovereignty and feel that too much power is concentrated in the bureaucratic, technocratic and largely undemocratic hands of the EU. One the most pivotal speeches that Cameron has made on the EU in recent months, was not given at the House of Commons, but at the shadow British government: the Royal Institute of International Affairs (or Chatham House). The executive body of the EU the European Commission is a corporate partner of Chatham House. The majority of the major political figures in the West support Britain staying in the EU, including Barack Obama, Tony Blair and Peter Mandelson. This is because the EU is far more than just a union in Europe; its a stepping stone towards global government. The EU has always been a key part of the grander strategy by the global elite to destroy national sovereignty and bring in a world government, through eventually amalgamating the EU with other trading blocs. As Alan Sked, a Professor of International History at the London School of Economics and the original founder of UKIP (who has since criticised the party), notes, the EU was created by a Western elite who have been surreptitiously working to build a global government. Herman Van Rompuy, the former President of the European Council, even boldly proclaimed that 2009 was the first year of global governance (according to the translation). Van Rompuy added that the climate conference in Copenhagen is another step towards the global management of our planet. The former President of the European Commission, Jos Manuel Barroso, gave a speech in 2014 at the Yale School of Management, titled: The European Union in the New World Order. Barroso said that the world is largely in a state of chaos, but out of all this chaos some kind of order will eventually materialise. He added that a gap is emerging within the global sphere between an increasingly interdependent and interconnected world which lacks the global governance mechanisms to manage that interdependence and interconnectedness. In essence, Barroso deceptively argued that the world is in such a state of chaos (the majority of which is created by the Western elite) that we are in desperate need of greater global governance mechanisms (i.e. order) stronger global governance is practically synonymous with global government, but at bare minimum its the final stepping stone towards fully certified global government. Peter Mandelson, a former European Commissioner for Trade and British politician, said during a meeting at Chatham House in 2007 that he sees the EU as Europes most promising means of engaging with and shaping globalization. George Soros, the investor, billionaire and regime change extraordinaire, called the EU an experiment in international governance. Soros did state that the EU had failed, and that the surge in populism was threatening the union. But if the EU does completely disintegrate, the major danger is that the elite will push for further global integration as the solution. Founded in 1954, the Bilderberg group is illustrative of a shadowy network of super-elites who often make decisions in secret meetings that come to impact the lives of millions. The annual conference is attended by between 120 and 150 elites who meet to discuss global issues with a focus on North American and European challenges. It encompasses a range of individuals: from the heads of multi-national corporations to the leaders of nations; banking executives to media titans. In 2009, WikiLeaks released a document which was reportedly the meeting report from the 1955 Bilderberg conference in West Germany. The document shows that the idea of creating the Euro was being discussed within circles of the Western elite as far back as 1955, concealed from the general public of Europe: 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. Interestingly, one general point of agreement in the conference was the shared notion that atomic energy could be the most pivotal issue that would increase cooperation: Throughout the discussion there was considerable emphasis on atomic energy as forming, perhaps, the most hopeful area in which integration could proceed. Three years later, the European Atomic Energy Community was established in 1958. Another conclusion of the meeting was that the European project was designed to eviscerate national sovereignty and achieve the highest degree of integration as quickly as possible: It was generally recognized that it is our common responsibility to arrive in the shortest possible time at the highest degree of integration, beginning with a common European market. In more modern times, tienne Davignon, a former European Commissioner and an influential architect of European integration, revealed that the Bilderberg group helped create the Euro in the 1990s. In 2008, a book was published that is of critical importance in understanding some of the real forces that are driving the political and economic transitions in our world today. Written by David Rothkopf, a protg of Henry Kissinger and an individual who belongs to numerous pre-eminent think tanks in the US (including the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), it was titled, Superclass: How the Rich Ruined Our World. Rothkopf argues that an infinitely small number of super-elites run the world, completely outside of any democratic process: A global elite has emerged over the past several decades that had vastly more power than any other group on the planet. Each of the members of this superclass has the ability to regularly influence the lives of millions of people in multiple countries worldwide My researchers and I identified just over 6,000 people who qualify (from the Preface). Rothkopf continues, documenting the profound transition that has taken place in recent decades, from the nation-state towards a global state: But the center of gravity of elites has shifted. Today, the most powerful elites are global citizens tied more to international finance than national politics If the richest and most powerful individuals in the world are now predominantly globally oriented, globally dependent, globally active, then an important shift has taken place in the worlds balance of power away from national governments and away from national interests narrowly defined (2009 edition: p.320). This shift away from the nation-state and national governments towards a new global order is the defining one of our time. We are living in a period of global change that is deeper, faster and broader than we have ever known, was how Peter Mandelson articulated it in 2007. But this shift is not a coincidental one; it has been the objective of a cabal of international bankers who have been pushing for the creation of a world system for over a century. As the late Carroll Quigley a historian and Professor at Georgetown University wrote in his 1966 book, Tragedy Hope: The powers of financial capitalism had another 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 private 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 (1998 printing: p.324). The push towards a new world order is going to continue to meet resistance however, as the Westphalian model of international relations based on the principles of national sovereignty and the non-interference in the affairs of other states has been the central model since the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648. Furthermore, the fact that Russia is standing up for her national interests puts a significant spanner in the works of the Western elite. Steven MacMillan is an independent writer, researcher, geopolitical analyst and editor of The Analyst Report, especially for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook. All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. Edmund Burke. We have enough proof of what the NWO cabal are up too. Most times the even give us cryptic clues. The time has come for us to get organized.

3	$3 Trillion Black Hole Could Destroy Economy: True Extent of Pension Problem Has Been ObscuredBy Mac Slavo As if the world needed another dangerous and volatile factor in the mix of looming economic downturn. Unfunded liabilities for pensions have been a problem for a while now, but as investors continue to face fleeting returns, many states and cities are facing the music and when it stops, there wont be enough money to go around. Some will lose their savings, their standard of living, their retirement and maybe their future. Others will be taxed to death to clean up the mess of the many places were the system is cracked, fissured and falling apart. According to FT: The US public pension system has developed a $3.4tn funding hole that will pile pressure on cities and states to cut spending or raise taxes to avoid Detroit-style bankruptcies. [] the collective funding shortfall of US public pension funds is three times larger than official figures showed, and is getting bigger. Devin Nunes, a US Republican congressman, said: It has been clear for years that many cities and states are critically underfunding their pension programmes and hiding the fiscal holes with accounting tricks. Mr Nunes added: When these pension funds go insolvent, they will create problems so disastrous that the fund officials assume the federal government will have to bail them out. Large pension shortfalls have already played a role in driving several US cities, including Detroit in Michigan and San Bernardino in California, to file for bankruptcy. The fear is other cities will soon become insolvent due to the size of their pension deficits. The inevitable result is, of course, tax increases and spending cuts potentially on important and vital services. Regardless, it is likely that many more governments will face bankruptcy and difficult choices with the prevailing wisdom to kick the can down the road and pretend that funds will make extraordinary returns in the years to come despite continue misuse in schemes leveraging pensions in various funds and schemes. . Mr Rauhs study claims the true extent of funding problems in US public pension system has been obscured because plans calculate both their costs and liabilities on the assumption they will achieve returns of between 7 and 8 per cent a year. The academic believes this rate is wildly optimistic and unlikely to be achieved. In a perfect world, all this stuff would have been responsibly managed, and the returns would be modest and predictable. But in the real world, pension managers have run with Wall Street sharks; they invest in derivatives together, and when things turn upside down (as they tend to do), it isnt the fund manager who is out, but the diffuse and de-personalized millions who have their retirement built into a dangerous system. As negative interest rates are still trending, it is an atmosphere that ripe for disaster. If you have your nest egg in a pension, it might be a good idea to take a look at your options for getting out if you even can. The problem is that so many are held captive by this financial system, and the lot of us will face the consequences, while the usual suspects head for the exits. Read more: Interesting times ahead !

I was under the impression that Chapter 9 Bankruptcies could not force tax increases. Instead, municipal assets, excluding essential services like police and fire, would be liquidated and distributed to creditors.

3	80 Countries Just Slammed the US Over Habit of Bombing HospitalsBy Claire Bernish Resolution 2286, co-sponsored by 80 member nations, condemns attacks on medical personnel and facilities in conflict situations and demands an end to impunity for those responsible and respect for international law on the part of all warring parties. Though it might seem superficially absurd to issue a condemnation for something so patently fundamental, evidence of its necessity remains unfortunately prevalent in headlines. One egregious example came at the end of April in the conclusion of an investigation into the targeted bombing of an MSF hospital facility in Kunduz, Afghanistan, on October 3 of last year. Though 16 U.S. service members were found responsible for the attack, accountability in the form of punishment lacked the severity warranted for the deaths of 42 medical staff, patients, and civilians. The 16 found at fault include a two-star general, the crew of an Air Force AC-130 attack aircraft, and Army special forces personnel, according to U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the internal investigations with the Los Angeles Times. One officer was suspended from command and forced out of Afghanistan. The other 15 were given lesser punishments: Six were sent to counseling, seven were issued letters of reprimand, and two were ordered to retraining courses. It would be difficult, when taken with the magnitude of what actually took place in the Kunduz hospital attack, to classify such a punishment as even slaps on the wrists of those responsible. Many staff describe people being shot, most likely from the [AC-130] plane, as people tried to flee the main hospital building that was being hit with each airstrike, MSF said in a statement following the bombing. Some accounts mention shooting that appeared to follow the movement of people on the run. Though the official explanation from U.S. officials inexplicably characterizes the bombing as an ostensibly horrible mistake, details of the harrowing 90-minute siege stretch the veracity of such a claim beyond the limits of feasibility. Mdicins Sans Frontires has in place numerous safety precautions to protect both staff and patients particularly since the organization treats any injured parties, regardless of affiliation, in conflict areas including a staunch prohibition on weapons in their facilities. A series of multiple, precise and sustained airstrikes targeted the main hospital building, leaving the rest of the buildings in the MSF compound comparatively untouched. This specific building of the hospital correlates exactly with the GPS coordinates provided to the parties of the conflict (GPS coordinates were taken directly in front of the main hospital building that was hit with the airstrikes). Absolving itself of responsibility for what has been widely deemed a war crime, the Pentagons official explanation significantly downplays the attack as a combination of human errors, compounded by process and equipment failures, and that fatigue and high operational tempo also contributed to what it calls the fog of war. In actuality, no excuse exists for a targeted attack on a civilian structure which dually functions as a safe haven for those injured in an already relentless, violent military campaign itself with questionable motives and practices. No whitewash strong enough exists to paint over an inexcusably egregious so-called error. But the worst facet of the Pentagons self-declared impunity is that Kunduz isnt the only healthcare facility bombed by the U.S. and its allies and Afghanistan isnt the sole location such an attack has been carried out. Not by far. Between March and November 2015, the U.S.-backed coalition managed to bomb nearly 100 hospitals in war-ravaged Yemen though with the medias attention trained on the imbroglio raging in Syria, that report caused little more than a ripple. Echoing innumerable unanswered pleas by MSF, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) asserted the targeting of health facilities represent a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law. The neutrality of health care facilities and staff is not being respected, contended deputy head of the ICRC delegation in Yemen, Kedir Awol Omar. Health facilities are deliberately attacked and surgical and medical supplies are also being blocked from reaching hospitals in areas under siege. Apparently and typically, repeated calls to end targeted violence fell on deaf ears. At the end of April, Al Quds Hospital in Aleppo fell under attack, killing 27 people including three children and one of the decimated citys last qualified pediatricians and eliciting one of the most gut-wrenching open letters to date, courtesy of the director of the Aleppo Childrens Hospital. Like so many others, wrote Dr. Hatem, Dr. [Mohammad Waseem] Maaz was killed for saving lives. Today we remember Dr. Maazs humanity and his bravery. Please share his story so others may know what medics in Aleppo and across Syria are facing. The situation today is critical Aleppo may soon come under siege. We need the world to be watching. Addressing the United Nations in utter frustration on Tuesday, MSF head, Joanne Liu, beseeched the members responsible to Stop these attacks! You must live up to your extraordinary responsibilities and set an example for all states. Though her sentiment may be broadly shared, the Pentagons less than lackluster response to the U.S. military members complicit in the Kunduz bombing make the likelihood of her demands being met exceedingly unlikely anytime soon.

If you spot a typo, email edits@theantimedia.org. Only a Mongoloid idiot would need further proof; Bet anything that Allepo hospital was bombed by Turkey. Screw the un. Worthless,problem makers. Theres only one way to stop it and Russia the only one to do it since the US is one of the bombers. The ones who deserve the most severe punishment are the people who ordered these attacks. The ones who followed orders should have refused to do so, but they would have been punished more severely for not killing these people. Chances are the identities of the ones who issued the orders were not ever made public. People just following orders (= proudly commiting evil). Without the aid of those no tyranny has a chance. I agree, And then there are the drones that bomb innocent people, killing hundreds ostensibly to get one bad guy (one whom the sickos in government have deemed to be a bad guy). Those who give the orders for this to be done are obviously those who have the command power to give such orders. Not to difficult to find these criminals. Go to the Pentagon and just start knocking on doors. But those who carry out the drone campaigns, those who actually follow the orders are pathological. No one but a sociopath would do this, and they should be punished as severely as those who issued the orders. But neither will be punished. We are all too familiar with those who conduct the endless wars in the ME and then complain about the Syrian and other immigrants who are trying to escape the total destruction of our massive war machines. It is sickening. The US criminals bombed hospitals and TV stations in Serbia in the ninties ! nobody protested ! Its on American people to stop own satanic political class. No. It seems like the policy is the more people that are killed, the better, regardless of who they are or what side theyre on cause thats what keeps happening. Who knew that we would become the evil menace? We either knew or should have known wed be that menace once we collectively allowed the military industrial complex to weave its tentacles throughout our cultural experience as Americans. That should have been our wake up call. But we slept through it. I read this report, but non of the information about what the United States has done is on the MSM If it had been the Russians committing it, there may have been wall to wall coverage. duh Hate to say it, but we are the evil ones!!!! Too bad because the average American is a nice person We will have to pay for the sins of the fewand it wont be pretty! is there no end to this AMERICAN TREACHERY, there will be no peace until the leaders of those European countries who have allowed themselves to be blackmailed by the USA, and the leaders the EU countries to realize that the EU and NATO also the UNITED NATIONS, are the creation of the USA, so now is the time for EUROPE TO DUMP THEM. and for the rest of the world to recognise the USA as public enemy NUMBER ONE. We all know who is responsible for the attacks on hospitals and medical facilities and that is the evil and cowardly nation that has done it in the past and will do it in the future . namely the nation that Arab people call the Great Satan aka the USA . Now becoming more infamous with its so called elections which are just revealing themselves as being rigged and always have been . promoting themselves as protectors of freedom and democracy but at the same time attacking and destroying countries that have done nothing to them . A Iranian Minister proclaimed that Israel should be wiped of the face of the earth . its just a shame he had not included the USA in that rant . collectively these two countries removed from the world . would bring peace and safety to the world !! All points to corporate objective, corporate greed!!! Did you think for one moment they thought of you as a human being? They simply dont care, they have their objective to keep the fat cats richand they will!!! America, please note, as soon as these countries see their way clear and can hide what they do, the WHOLE WORLD is going to kick our azz!!! Our only saving grace is that many now have relatives here! Holy Spirit, You are welcome here 
2	9/11 First Responder Shares Trump Story, Media Refuses To Cover 9/11 first responder Philip Kirschner has struggled with his health since his service at the World Trade Center. In fact, he claims that the only reason he is alive today is because of Donald Trump. We bet you havent heard that story on the major news outlets. Recently, Kirschner talked with Breitbart about his experience with Trump. According to the hero, who has struggled with heart problems and kidney cancer since the tragic attacks, Trump is the one who helped arrange transportation for him when he needed it most. Kirschner claims that he was in Florida and needed to get to Ohios Cleveland Clinic in order to get a cardioverter-defibrillatora device designed to save the life of those with cardiac arrhythmias. I was given a dual channel AICD, which has been deployed several times and has saved my life, he commented. He claims that when he found out that hospital he was at couldnt transport him, he called his roommate, who [he] told to call [his] uncle], who knew Trump basically at the time. One of the charities, Angel Flight, did get a call to try to facilitate my move, so I know a couple of people were working to get me moved to Cleveland where I had a chance of survival, Kirschner recalls. He did a couple, quite a number, of Angel Flights with groups. Kirshner claims he is speaking out now because he wants the media to report the other side of Donald Trump. I want people to learn that hes a humanitarian, that he reaches out, he donates, Kirschner concluded. He gives to medical charities. He gives to a lot of huge causes. What do you think of Kirschners story? Do you support Donald Trump? 
3	Vaccines and Vaccinations: The Aggressive Government Campaigns - Whats at Stake?Catherine J. Frompovich Saturday, April 4th, I listened to the Barrie Trower two-hour interview, and it truly was amazing. Richard Sacks, the show host, allowed Dr. Trower free rein to discuss the problems and science involved with radiofrequency emitting technologies. I took several pages of notes. If the vaccine show follows a similar format, I only can imagine what we will learn about vaccines and vaccinations. Richard emailed a letter about Saturday evenings show, which I think my readers may want to know about, since it explains not only the show(s), but also a new format for educating people on how to take back their personal powers regarding health and other issues. The Saturday, April 11th, show will be equally important, as two superstar anti-vaccine advocates join us for amazing discussions about the current aggressive campaign of federal and state governments across America, and around the world, to move us into the totalitarian scenario of universal forced vaccination. In what is clearly a global maneuver on a grand scale, the real world rulers, who dictate policy to governments from behind the scenes, have decided now is the time to force adults to accept injections given to our children. We know that vaccines are a complete hoax, and we need to strenuously object. All forms of philosophical and religious exemptions are under vicious attack in the name of science. No matter what issue you may have chosen to focus on in making your contribution to a sane, free and healthy world, you need to be wide awake to the dangers posed to your kids and yourself by vaccination. It is time to realize our health and health care are 100% our responsibility, and there is no substitute for factual education, which we get by doing our homework and looking beyond corrupt government and industry sources for that information. An indispensable part of real self-education is also the reclaiming of what used to be common sense. For example, what is this hallowed scientific medical practice of vaccination? What is it really? People in modern times have laughed at those in the past who allowed doctors to treat them by bloodletting, leaches, and other procedures we now consider absurd. Well, how intelligent are we by comparison? We let doctors, and now even drug and grocery store employees, put hollow needles into our bodies, and inject through them mixtures of substances so disgusting and poisonous that no one of sound mind would believe anyone would willingly submit to such a barbaric practice. What is even more amazing, most of the store personnel, and even the doctors, dont even bother to learn in detail what they are putting through those needles into us or our kids. But any parents who care about their children, in fact any of us who care about our own bodies and our future health, definitely need to know what is in those syringes and exactly what each ingredient does to our bodies. Ingredients like formaldehyde, aluminum, ethylmercury, aborted fetal cells, animal DNA, etc. are extremely dangerous to inject into anyones body, and doing so is definitely an assault and should be a crime by any normal standard. But in addition to all those poisons, disease organisms are also injected at the same time. In fact, the theory of vaccination is that disease organisms injected into your body will make you immune to diseases. Real life experience has completely disproved this absurd idea a century ago. Two great books on the subject are Vaccination is not Immunization, by Dr. Tim OShea, and Dissolving Illusions by Dr. Suzanne Humphries and Roman Bystrianyk. These two are absolutely must-read sources for anyone who cares what happens to their own health or the health of their children. Roman Bystrianyk and Dr. Tim OShea are guests on our Saturday, April 11th, show for Lost Arts Radio. You absolutely want to make sure you do not miss this vital conversation with two superheroes in the struggle to inform and free humanity from the lies of immunization via vaccines. The more you really understand the bigger picture on deeper and deeper levels, the more effective you can be in working on the issues you have chosen. All that you do in the outside world depends on how much real work you do inside yourself. It is the best way to become strong and effective, no matter what you choose to work on. For that reason, please consider joining us EVERY Saturday for our educational shows, and not just on the days we cover particular issues you may be interested in. Round out and expand your knowledge so that you will become a powerful force for good in the world. You are always welcome to email me with suggestions for show topics you would like to see covered, including guests. If they fit into what we are doing, I will try to include them. Remember that specialized scientists, very advanced in their own narrow fields, frequently become tools of great harm, because they have no understanding of the wider context of their subject. Join us, become a member of our Lost Arts family, dedicated to education, self-improvement through knowledge and practical application in our lives first, and then in our chosen sphere of action. The world needs you, and the brilliance, caring and creativity you have always had inside yourself. We have enough power for good inside us to heal the world, but it takes work on ourselves first, starting with factual and non-vested-interest education. Lets do it together. And please tell everyone you can about the show. If there was ever a time when we urgently needed to bring the clans (single issue groups) together in a time of great sorrow, to bring back health and freedom to the world, it is now.

We as a people are so propagandized by the media,government and Big Pharm with the help of the medical professionals that are bought and paid for by the pharmaceutical companies. People are clueless as to the dangers of the chemicals used in all vaccines. Wake up or we will be just what happened to Germans during WWII. The interesting thing that I find is that the last 5 10 people that I debated over this who called me stupid, paranoid, and irresponsible turned about to be shills. Once I investigated and exposed them they disappeared. I smell desperation. Here is what is at stake with mandated vaccines. Part One: Bush and 9/11 Explosives; Part Two: Rockefellers and Worse, Using Bioweapons Excerpt from above: Mandated vaccines are key to everything Mandate vaccines and chip people via vaccines, and these maniacs This is many times better than the Rockefellers tattooing prisoners and tracking their numbers. With embedded microchips from IBM and others (IBM being who handled the data on trains and Jewish ancestry for Nazi Germany originally), theyve arranged RFID tracking and whats more continous data collection. With mandated vaccines, they dont even need to make prisoners of The Rockefellers, thanks to the wonder of electronic and Want to genetically target a particular group and see how that goes, in detail? No problem! The MMR vaccine causes a 340% increase in autism in little black boys Read the whole article. Make it go viral because its about plans for a coup here by the Rockefellers. http://exopolitics.blogs.com/ebolagate/2015/04/part-one-bush-and-911-explosives-part-two-rockefellers-and-bioweapons.html Here is extensive background on the Rockefellers who behind the vaccines. Heres what they are doing across Asia, killing kids in the 10s of 1000s. Lawsuits against them need to be filed, as Guatemalans are doing now. The lawsuits should come from every direction A. they are proven mass murderers, B. the whole vaccine schedule is a forced human experiment on children with a few exemptions they are trying now to remove, and run by the CDC which is CIA and controlled by the Rockefellers. http://exopolitics.blogs.com/ebolagate/2014/08/cdc-and-cia-a-close-and-sick-relationship.html C. they are genetically engineering everyone duped into or forced to take their vaccines which are all GMO vaccines. Background on GMO-vaccines and the connection to the bankers and Fox News and WSJ (Murdoch)- http://salem-news.com/articles/july172011/murdoch-vaccines-wn.php): Lets not forget the Nazis were genetics freaks who said their genes were superior, when we look at what they are doing with the vaccines: They are inserting other species and viral DNA into human DNA which means (1) people who get the vaccines now have more than only a mother and father as their genetic parents, they have insects and pigs and viruses (a little Nazi joke on everyone), (2) all people taking the same vaccines are genetic siblings since they share some of the same DNA, so how do they marry and have children together without increasing the threat of bringing together defective (for humans) insect or pig or virus DNA in their offspring? (3) people now have patented DNA in them (so who owns their organs, blood, etc.?) The patented part offers major room to sue since peoples priceless human DNA that took thousands of years of families selecting matches for health or intelligence or strength or appeal or ethnic or racial characteristics, etc. has been wrecked by the intellectual property of corporations who did that with 1. no contract, 2. no transparency of what was involved in the contract, 3. no compensation, and 4. no explanation of who owns that material. These are considerable contract and IP law violations. People might reach Daniel Rachiver at Cordoza Law School who filed suit for organic farmers against Monsanto and is an IP lawyer who deals in genes. With all the people upset about vaccines and how many millions have had their genetic heritage screwed up by insect and pig DNA, there could be a massive (in the millions) class action lawsuit for the IP stuff alone. Everyone has been Monsanto-ed with the vaccines. People have been screwed 9 ways to Sunday by the GMO vaccines already and by their kids being locked into forced experiment literally run by those who funded the Nazis and who brought them here and put them into medical places and into the CIA. The injury part of the vaccines lands people in vaccine court that is rigged. The IP part is easily provable and puts on in real court and exposes the whole vaccine horror as a forced genetic engineering experiment. Sue in real court, not vaccine court, over genetically engineering everyone and over the Rockefellers killing Americans in Nazi experiments under Hitler and funding the whole war machine against US soldiers and over the CDC being a corporation controlled by the CIA and running the vaccine schedule and how no one has to follow anything they say. Sue as vets. The Rockefellers murdered Americans and are still murdering them and are planning a coup and invasion here based on deadly viruses they created. Reach Ravicher. Ask for how to go about this gigantic take over of everyones human DNA. Ask about a class action suit. ravicher@yu.edu Cardozo School of Law Reach the law firms suing the Rockefelllers on behalf of the Guatemalans.

To All Legislators Across the US: A Warning Concerning Vaccine Mandates Before Mandating Vaccines: What Every Legislator Across the Country Needs to Know You might track down a copy of Mallcity 14 (i.e., about an ultra-consumerist society where everyone is chipped etc) Its become increasingly astounding to me, as Ive discussed the vaccination issue with various people I know, how many of them dont even realize there is a debate going on. To them multi-vaxes are a super deal! You can get $10 off your groceries if you get the full panel of shingles/pneumonia/mumps/measles/flu all in one trip to the supermarket. Now The CDC is calling people with a creepy recorded message about getting your vaccines for you and all of your family, especially children. 
3	Are You Ready for Whatever This Summer May Bring?By Catherine J. Frompovich Back on April 24, 2015, I wrote Are U.S. Citizens Aware of AND Prepared for Jade Helm 15? In late April, there was a town-hall-like meeting held in Bastrop, Texas, where citizens expressed their concerns about Jade Helm 15. Heres The Washington Posts report on that meeting. However, the logo for Jade Helm 15 exercises, plus the photographs of rail cars mounted with gun turrets on all-terrain vehicles or tanks, apparently are enough to have many not-brain-dead folks questioning what the heck really will be going on. Jeepers creepers! Personally, this writer wonders about that JH15 logo subtitle: Master the Human Domain! That, alone, probably says more than we really may begin to understand right now. Furthermore, the Common Sense Show deviated from its normal programming to address Jade Helm 15 with guest Dave Hodges. Here is that discussion for readers to listen to, research, and then decide for yourselves what to think, and possibly do, about whats probably going to become a summer to remember. The foreign press, the UKs Daily Mailnot the U.S. mediahas given a rather extensive overview of Jade Helm 15 here. One has to wondereven questionwhy the U.S. medias silence has been so loud. That is something everyone definitely needs to factor into the Jade Helm 15 equation. Not wanting to sound like an alarmist, but one who feels that people have the innate right to provide for and protect their lives, children, families, pets and what they hold dear and sacred to them, I think everyone ought to start planning for how to deal with whatever may come our way regionallyand even nationallyduring the period July 15 to September 15, 2015. So, with that in mind, Ive gotten together a list of resources to consider, and even to stock up withjust in case. Food and Water We know the weather is being manipulated with weather geoengineering to become an effective war weapon. Heres Dane Wigington of Geoengineering Watch discussing just how serious climate control techniques and problems have become. (Video) California, where most fresh food for the USA is grown, is now becoming a desert after 4 years of apparently programmed weather geoengineering. Food may become very limited at some time in our near future. The first thing concerned individuals need to do now, I think and recommend, is to plant a food garden that will be ready to eat by late summerjust in case, especially for the summer of 2015. Remember to plant only non-GMO seeds. There are resources for non-GMO seeds in the Resources section below. Stock up on enough canned foods [organically grown preferably: soups, chilis, peanut and other nut butters, salsas, etc.] for all members of the family, including babies and petsjust in case fresh food is not available. Rice cakes and flat breads, too. Frozen foods may be compromised if the power grid(s) go down. Get in a supply of dried or freeze-dried foods. If your water is supplied from a well, make certain to have enough safe water stored in glass that will last every member of the family, including pets, for at least 60 days. Additionally, stash in an extra supply of glass-bottled waterjust in case! Medicines and First Aid Kit Make certain any prescription medications are filled before July 15 and readily accessible. Become acquainted with holistic medicine principles that dont rely on pharmaceuticals. Natural News.com published a great article on how to set up The Natural Medicine and First Aid Kit here, which I advise printing out and saving. Remember, electricity and the computer/Internet may not be available during Jade Helm exercises, so you must prepare for living in a non-smart-appliance-filled-world for a while. Getting that first aid kit set up will be more important than you can imagine. Id add some things that have been omitted: 10ppm Colloidal Silver; a throat spray called Everyday Throat Spray ; snake bite kits , which can be used to extract both venom and other injections; and non-iodized salt to be used either as a very-minor-amount-ingredient to a Neti pot nasal lavage, or as a detox bath with Epsom salts, if there is enough running water to wash off after the detox soak. Make certain to have enough supplies for every member of your family. Keep all supplies in a galvanized pail [one used for camping] with a self-locking handle to keep them safe, clean and DRY. Also, tell every family member where the kit is located and instruct persons over 15 years of age about how to use the contents. Cell phones and other means of communications may be interrupted. Psychologically prepare for that too. Make plans about contacting family members and loved ones not in your location, since we really dont know what will happen or to expect. Jade Helm 15 does not seem to be something we would have expected in the USA prior to 911. Since no one in the public knows what is planned for Jade Helm 15, it is my opinion that everyone in the USA needs to be prepared for the summer of 2015. Some people may want to change their vacation plans and take a staycationa stay-at-home vacation; others may plan on going somewhere other than the 8 states involved. These are issues that need to be considered in these trying times in which we live. There have been reports that foreign terrorists are planning an incursion over the Mexican border. Judicial Watch published this: ISIS camp a few miles from Texas, Mexican Authorities Confirm. So you see, dear readers, I think that the old adage needs to be considered: Where theres smoke, there probably is some sort of fire, meaning that when something looks like something is going on, probably something is going on, and to give it the benefit of the doubt that it is and probably what you dont know. Id like my readers to be prepared and to be safe. I wish Creators blessings on you, your families, and the United States of America.

1	In response to recent budget cuts, the National Science Foundation has reduced grants to individual recipients, including those of megalomaniacal researcher Dr. Edward Mortis of Brookhaven Laboratories. Mortis packs up the lab he was forced to surrender. 'My positronic raygun was nearly complete,' said Mortis at a press conference Tuesday. 'With one gigagram of destructonium [a rare element mined from a meteor belt that passes Earth once every 29 years], I could have ruled the world!' Days before the window of destructonium-mining opportunity closed, the 'ignorant fools' at the NSF slashed Mortis' Armageddon Project funding by 90 percent. The cut in funding forced the mad scientist to halt work on his raygun, and set back his plans for world domination indefinitely. 'This is a dark day for mad science,' Mortis said. 'On this day, my evil plans are like the seed that lands on stone, unable to take root and blossom.' The principles of Mortis' Armageddon Project were explored in his doctoral dissertation, written and researched while he was a student at Berkeley in the late '70s. Mortis' three-tiered approach to conquering the universe so impressed Brookhaven Laboratories that he was hired out of graduate school and placed in the facility's dilapidated-castle wing. 'For a time, I had unlimited funding, free reign over a well-equipped lab, and eight henchmen at my disposal,' Mortis said. 'Then, when the economy went south, the NSF started chipping away at my allotment. First, it was a nosy question here, a rudely worded letter there. Suddenly, I was being asked to justify the purchase of every little dicantheum deoxidationifier or Anubis drill in my inventory.' Last week, a letter from the NSF informed Mortis that his annual grant will be reduced substantially, from $2 billion a year to a mere $200 million. According to Mortis, the budget cuts will effectively terminate both the Armageddon Project and his work on several outside efforts, including a hyperchronal disrupter, a polysonic transmogricon, and 100,000 killer robots. 'They expect me to work with $200 million?' Mortis said. 'My legion of armed robots now sits in a storage center outside D.C. The robots have been denied the very function of their being! I ask, what good are killer robots if they will never be activated and set to killing? It's so typical that the buffoons at NSF stop me now, when I'm already half done. It's so frustrating.' 'These pencil-pushers don't appreciate the purity of research,' Mortis continued. 'As Plato said, the love of knowledge is the purest form of love. I would go further and say that the greatest quest for knowledge is the quest for insane knowledge. All these bureaucrats see is columns of numbers on paper.' Mortis said his only option is to pursue his mad agenda independently, by working at a slower pace and paying for expenses out-of-pocket. To that end, Mortis has taken a position as an adjunct researcher on a longitudinal study of the effects of cholesterol in adolescents, and is proofreading a report on the distribution of freshwater mussels in the lower Great Lakes drainage region. Mortis said he is keenly aware of the effects a limited budget can have on mad scientific research. In May, he attracted national attention when he unleashed a horde of beast men in Denver, CO. The release was successful, until the hideous creatures' unstable molecular structure reacted with the city's low air pressure, and the beasts dissolved into gooey blue puddles. 'That never would have happened if I'd had the funds to do a test run of the polysonic transformation process,' Mortis said. 'But I was forced to cut corners. I was the laughingstock of the mad scientific community.' Mortis was not charged with any crime in the Denver incident, due to the vaporization of all evidence, and he returned to his lab with a new sense of purpose, vowing to 'show them all.' But Mortis had not anticipated the recent budget cuts. 'Mad-scientific progress has been set back 20 years,' Mortis said. 'If you want to see yet another boring paper on relativistic heavy-ion colliders or synchrotron radiation, by all means, drain my lifeblood! But don't come crying to me when you need technologies to enslave the human race.' Even in the current financial climate, the budget cuts surprised Mortis' colleagues. 'We all thought [Mortis] was untouchable,' said fellow Brookhaven researcher Dr. Phillip Kondos. 'Edward's genius for devising plans for world domination is second only to his genius for whipping up applications for funding. We always envied his ability to isolate himself in his dank lab and emerge days later with a hideously ingenious grant proposal all of his own creation.' 
3	Have You Found Your Treasure Yet?Wherever your heart is, that is where youll find your treasure. Paulo Coelho The Alchemist We are all in search of a treasure. Maybe life may not seem as exciting as following clues on a map where X marks the spot of hidden riches, but it really isnt much different. Nor should it be. Do you believe you are here for a purpose? Are you following your destiny? Sadly, most people do not believe they have a destiny to fulfill, but everybody is born with a personal treasure map. Some people get up every day full of passion to explore the world in pursuit of their treasure and they usually find it. But this treasure is not always defined as physical riches; the true treasure is happiness. Yet somehow the laws of the universe are such that when one finds happiness in their endeavors, the universe will reward them with ample physical sustenance. Its true: life really is generous to those who pursue their Personal Legend, Coelho wrote in The Alchemist. In other words, personal riches is not the goal of the quest, rather it is a byproduct of living out your destiny. Have you ever met someone who is genuinely passionate about what they do? Theyre probably some of the most confident and happy people you know. Theyre also likely to be the wealthiest people you know. What is keeping you from listening to your heart and doing what you love? A great majority of people never find their treasure mainly because they dont listen to their hearts. Instead they are guided by false fears that their mind tricks them to believe are real. These fears are what trap us into a life not of our choosing. A life that usually leads to misery. Ask yourself, how would I spend my days if I already had all the money I ever needed? Or, what would be your dream occupation? This is your Personal Legend where you will find your treasure. You may not know the answer right away and thats okay. Your heart will provide clues for you during your journey. The key is listening to your heart and having the courage to follow the clues. But what about the real world: I have bills to pay and food needs to be bought, you may ask. No one ever said life is without its challenges and, although those bills are real, fear of them is an illusion. Another story in The Alchemist illustrates this point: A boy sought out the wisest man in the world to learn the secret of happiness. He arrived at the grand estate of the wise man to find that he was very busy giving advice to others. The wise man gave the boy a teaspoon with two drops of oil and told him to explore the palace and return in four hours, but that he mustnt drop any of the oil from the spoon. So the boy, terrified to disappoint the wise man, went about the property only concentrating on keeping the oil on the spoon. When the boy returned proud to have the oil in the spoon, the wise man asked him what he had seen and thought of the marvels of his property. The boy couldnt recall a thing because he was so focused on not dropping the oil. So the wise man sent him away again requesting a full report on what he enjoys about the property. The boy couldnt believe all of the majestic things that he previously missed because he was concentrating so hard on the oil in the spoon. When he returned to the wise man he gave a detailed report of the things he loved most about his journey through the amazing property.

3	The European Union is Crumbling Right Before Our EyesBy Joshua Krause Ever since the European debt crisis, the EU has been playing a game of whack-a-mole with its constituent nations. Whenever one crisis is solved, another crisis will pop up somewhere else. None of these problems are ever truly solved though. Theyre simply contained until further notice, because there are always more pressing issues to deal with. And there are always more pressing issues, because crises that were previously contained start to bubble over again. As you can see, its an endless feedback loop of failure, and its constantly compounding itself. Its hard to say when the breaking point will be. Much like the United States government, anyone whos paying attention knows that the system is beyond repair and beyond reform, but somehow it just keeps clunking along, year after year. There are still so many people who are heavily invested in the system and cant afford to let it fall apart, even though thats probably the only option left on the table. So they keep it together with all their might, as the system marches straight into oblivion. Its kind of like dumping all of your money into a used car that constantly breaks down, but refusing to discard it because dammit, youve spent so much to keep it running and to give up now would mean that all of that money was wasted. Its a common fallacy that afflicts all humans from time to time, and its the biggest reason why anything goes on longer than it logically should. The EU has clearly gone on longer than it ever should have, and every week there are more signs that this union is crumbling. This week, the foundations of the EU happen to be shaking in Portugal, which provided the perfect example of the cycle of failure that I mentioned earlier. Months after Greeces anti-austerity government threatened to trigger the collapse of the EU before it was cowed into submission, another anti-austerity coalition has risen in Portugal after their left-leaning parties came together to depose their conservative government. And in neighboring Spain, the wealthy province of Catalonia is threatening to secede from the impoverished states that theyre anchored to. Theyve threatened to leave without taking a share of Spains debt, and if they succeed it will also give Spains leftist parties a higher percentage of votes in parliament, which again could result in another anti-austerity coalition. And economics aside, Europe is facing a surge secessionist fervor that could potentially break up their union. This year it was Catalonia, before that it was Scotland, and before that it was Venice. Whats interesting is that in all of these cases, these secession movements wanted to stay in the EU, but they still threatened the integrity of the EU. If for instance, the Scottish had managed to secede, it would have left England with a much higher percentage of anti-EU votes in Parliament. The EU seems to be facing a two-pronged attack from financial insolvency and this resurgent nationalism. As the more debt-ridden southern nations turn more liberal and anti-austerity, the more financially secure nations are turning more conservative and nationalistic. Both are absolutely tearing the EU apart. You can really see these trends coming to a head in Poland, where on Wednesday, tens of thousands of right-wing protesters took the streets. Police said 25,000 people joined the march, which marked the anniversary of Polands return to independence after the Second World War, while organisers put the numbers at 50,000. God, honour, homeland, chanted the protesters as they marched under a sea of red-and-white Polish flags. Demonstrators trampled and burned a European Union flag at one point, while a banner added to the anti-EU theme with the slogan EU macht frei (Work makes you free in German), a reference to the slogan over the gates at Auschwitz. Yesterday it was Moscow, today its Brussels which takes away our freedom, chanted one group of protesters. Other banners read Great Catholic Poland and Stop Islamisation. And in the background, the migrant crisis appears to be propping up both of these movements. The veritable flood of refugees is overwhelming the welfare system of every nation they encounter, which will surely cripple their finances. And these migrants are too numerous to ever be assimilated, which of course is fueling the nationalistic right-wing factions in these countries. Truly, the EU is bursting at the seams on all fronts, as the advantages of being a member are fading for each state, and the problems they face are becoming increasingly insurmountable. While anti-EU sentiment is rising for different reasons in each country, the result is the same. There are too many systemic problems, too many irreconcilable differences, and not enough money. Its only a matter of time before the system buckles under the weight of financial collapse and social upheaval. Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple.

The EU is basically a bankers debt collection agency. The bankers counterfeit money then conspire with politicians to sink whole countries into colossal debt. Then the state is plundered. THE EU is nothing but a melting pot of ISLAMIC RADICAL BARBARIANS and the HOME COUNTRY PEOPLE who dont mix very well . The mass killings will soon begin, then a Caliphate will control the E.U. Then, E.U. leaders being useful idiots, will be executed as no longer useful. Cowardly gelded E.U. males will stand by doing nothing as their women and girls are raped or forced into marriages and end up as breeder sows for breeding more Muslims. Europe has allowed this with little or no resistance for sometime. Tourism will grind to a halt and mass destruction of historical monuments, museums, churches etc. will be the norm. Hog livestock will be killed and outlawed. Unable to think critically, moron Europeans could care less about their countries, future or offspring. The stuck in stupid get what they deserve which is an invasion and total take over with Shiria law soon. America (Canada too) is allowing invaders in many communities. Majority of Americas, over 95% havent a clue and lack critical thinking skills. Future generations will have a zero future. Congress ignores this and is bought off. shadow gov. runs all politicians, thus voting is a joke and a fraud. Start a bartering network with others and read: leaderless resistance by Louis beam online. Our future is zero, as in train derailment over a massive cliff. 
3	Health Care Worker Alert: ABC News Misquoted Vaccine Rights AttorneyAlan Phillips, J.D. However, the articles author misquoted me (a leading vaccine rights attorney) in a way that could put healthcare workers unnecessarily at risk if they rely on this article. Specifically, the article quoted me as saying: Religion is legally broad under the First Amendment, so it could include any strongly held belief . . . the belief [that] flu shots are bad should suffice. This is not true, and not what I said. Unfortunately, most people who write a statement of religious beliefs opposed to immunizations without first learning what beliefs the law does and doesnt protect unwittingly fall into one or more legal pitfalls that can undermine their exemption rights. This area of law is just not consistent with most peoples common sense approach. So, it is safest to get help from a knowledgeable attorney up front, as it can be difficult to un-ring the bell, as the saying goes, to recover from a rejection or your exemption request after you submit a statement that turns out to have a technical legal flaw. The ABC News article did go on to correctly quote me as having said, If your personal beliefs are religious in nature, then they are a protected belief [sic], but that is only part of the equation; the beliefs must also be sincerely heldagain, as the law defines that phrase. So, healthcare workers should NOT rely on the ABC article when considering their rights. No offense is intended to the ABC News articles author; the law in this area can be confusing. To the contrary, we appreciate ABC News for letting their readers know that some professionals feel so strongly about the matter that they are willing to lose their jobs to avoid flu shots. Indeed, the small number who lose their jobs represent a vastly larger number who object to mandatory flu vaccines but who simply cant afford to sacrifice their jobs to prove it.

1	While attending the fourth day of this years SXSW conference, Chicago-based marketing associate Tim Danner told reporters today that the music, film, and interactive festival is just about as cool, as alternative, and as real as it gets. The great thing about South By is that practically everyone here is talking about the newest cutting-edge ideas, but the whole scene still has this super-chill underground vibe, said the 33-year-old who went to business school, makes a six-figure salary, and develops marketing strategies for a living. What I like most of all is that its not in New York or Los Angeles, but in Austin, which is like this cool little artsy town. Thats so awesome and so authentic, you know? And there are so many great indie rock bands playing here, too. I love indie rock music. At press time, Danner was attending his 15th straight panel on the future of digital. 
3	Corporations Are Defaulting On Their Debts Like Its 2008 All Over AgainBy Michael Snyder Get ready to step over some landmines, investors. The number of companies defaulting on their debt is hitting levels not seen since the financial crisis, and its not just a problem for bondholders. So far this year, 46companies have defaulted on their debt, the highest level since 2009, according toSP Ratings Services. Five companies defaulted this week, based on the latest data available fromSP Ratings Services. That includesNew Jersey-basedspecialty chemical company Vertellus Specialties andOhio-basediron ore producer Cliffs Natural.Of the worlds defaults this year, 37are of companies based in the U.S. Meanwhile, coal producer Peabody Energy (BTU)and surfwear seller Pacific Sunwear (PSUN)this weekfiled plans for bankruptcy protection. Shares of Peabody have dropped 97% over the past year to $2 a share and Pacific Sunwear stock is off98% to 4 cents a share. A lot of big companies in this country have fallen on hard times, and it looks like bankruptcy attorneys are going to be absolutely swamped with work for the foreseeable future. So why are stock prices soaring right now? After all, it doesnt seem to make any sense whatsoever. And it isnt just a few bad apples that we are talking about. All across the spectrum, corporate revenues and corporate earnings are down. At this point, earnings for companies on the SP 500 have plunged a total of 18.5 percent from their peak in late 2014, and it is being projected that corporate earnings overall will be down 8.5 percent for the first quarter of 2016 compared to one year ago. As earnings decline, a lot of big companies are getting into trouble with debt, and we have already seen a very large number of corporate debt downgrades. In recent interviews, I have been bringing up the fact that the average rating on U.S. corporate debt has now fallen to BB, which is already lower than it was at any point during the last financial crisis. A lot of people dont seem to believe me when I share that fact, but it is absolutely true. One of the big reasons why corporate debt is being downgraded is because a lot of these big companies have been going into enormous amounts of debt in order to buy back their own stock. The following comes fromWolf Richter Downgrades ascribed to shareholder compensation, as Moodys calls share buybacks and dividends, have been soaring, according to John Lonski, Chief Economist at Moodys Capital Markets Research. The moving 12-month sum of Moodys credit rating downgrades of US companies, jumped from 32 in March 2015, to 48 in December 2015, and to 61 in March 2016, nearly doubling within a year. The last time the number of downgrades attributed to financial engineering reached 61 was in early 2007. It would hit its peak of 79 in mid- 2007, a few months before the beginning of the Great Recession in Q4 2007. At the time, stocks were on the verge of commencing their epic crash. When corporations go into the market and buy back their own stock, they are slowly cannibalizing themselves. But we have seen these stock buybacks soar to record levels for a couple of reasons. Number one, big investors want to see stock prices go up, and so big investors tend to really like these stock buybacks and will generally support corporate executives that wish to engage in doing this. Number two, if you are a greedy corporate executive that is heavily compensated by stock options, you very much want to see the stock price go up as well. So the name of the game is greed, and stock buybacks have been fueling much of the rise in U.S. stock prices that we have been seeing recently. However, the truth is that nothing in the financial world lasts forever, and this irrational bubble will ultimately come to an end as well. Earlier today, I am across an article that included a comment from Michael Hartnett of Bank of America Merrill Lynch. He believes that there are a lot of parallels between what is happening today and the period of timethat immediately preceded the bursting of the dotcom bubble Back then, as could be the case today, a bull market a US-led economic recovery wasrudely interrupted by a crisis in Emerging Markets. The crisis threatened to hurt MainStreet via Wall Street (the Nasdaq fell 33% between Jul-Oct 1998, when [Long-Term Capital Management]wentunder). Policy makers panicked and monetary policy was eased (with hindsightunnecessarily). Fresh liquidity combined with apocalyptic investor sentiment very quicklymorphed into a violent but narrow equity bull market/bubble in 1998/99, one whichultimately took valuations interest rates sharply higher to levels that eventuallycaused a pop. Like Hartnett, I definitely believe that a major pop is on the way, although I would like for it to be delayed for as long as possible. Someday we will look back on these times with utter amazement. It has been absolutely incredible how the financial markets have been able to defy economic reality for so long. But they cant do it forever, andaccording to a brand new CNN survey Americans are becoming increasingly pessimistic about where the real economy is heading In a new CNNMoney/E*Trade survey of Americans who have at least $10,000 in an online trading account, over half (52%) gave the U.S. economy as a C grade. Another 15% rated the economy a D or F. This gloom persists despite the fact that the stock market is on the upswing again. The Dow topped 18,000 Monday for the first time since July 2015. If some Americans think that the U.S. economy deserves a D or an F grade right now, just wait until they see what is in our immediate future. Personally, I give our economy an A for being able to maintain our unsustainable debt-fueled standard of living for as long as it has. Somehow we have managed to consume far more than we produce for decades, and the largest debt bubble in the history of the planet just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger. Of course we are very much living on borrowed time at this point, but I truly hope that the bubble economy can keep going for at least a little while longer, because nobody should want to see what is coming afterwards. *About the author: Michael Snyder is the founder and publisher of The Economic Collapse Blog.

3	MI5, CIA and TSA at the 2012 London Olympic GamesSusanne Posel, Contributor The lack of confidence in the G4S security firm has prompted the use of military forces. The opening ceremony will provide an estimated 18,200 UK military personnel. Another 5,500 troops will be stationed outside the venue. Jeremy Hunt, Olympics Secretary released a statement explaining: The armed forces will be soldiers formerly stationed in Afghanistan. Security at the Games is beginning to be referred to as the biggest peacetime security operation in Britains history. Surveillance at the Games promises to rival any other Big Brother monitoring as of yet. More than 4.2 million CCTV cameraswill be used to watch the general public while the Games commence. Licensed software used for spying has been provided by the CIA, FBI and TSA. In fact, TSA cronies will be monitoring airports in London to aid in the search for terrorists scheming. At Londons Heathrow airportthe TSA will be molesting British citizens. The TSA is scheduled to assist US and British airlines; however, they are supposedly restricted from screening passengers, conducting inspections, or go beyond the gates, but this promise will most likely be broken at some point for securitys sake. Threats of the spread of infectious diseases looms as the Europe Center for Disease Control and Prevention (ECDC)reports that global mass gatherings are rife for bacteria and viruses to infect thousands of people at once due to proximity and exposure. The ECDC and the Health Protection Agency (HPA) will be monitoring spectators and provide risk assessment of the potentials with regard to public health and communicable disease. According to the ThreatMatrix, an integrated cybercrime prevention software program, mobile phones (including smartphones and tablets) are a significant threat to the Games. Andreas Baumhof, chief technology officer, ThreatMatrix, says: The London Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games, in preparation for cyber threats, has allocated an estimated $3.1 billion to spend on technology securitization alone. Terrorists using blended attacks, which is the application of simultaneous destruction of physical targets, could be carried out as an attack on the Games and London. The security agents and military forces may be pulled in opposite directions to mitigate damage. MI5, British internal counter-intelligence and security agency, will collaborate with the Secret Intelligence Service to focus on minimizing foreign threats. Mainstream media is claiming that MI5 may have to worry about: The lone wolf is being touted as the biggest threat to the Games. Islamic extremist, plants of al-Qaeda or other Irish dissidents could, according to Will Hartley, defense specialist at HIS Janes, who warns that the lone wolf by definition, they are unpredictable and could be potentially motivated by any number of causes. Hartley refers to chatter that specifies a target at the Games that militant Islamic online forums have revealed points to anarchists who represent a clear and obvious threat to the Games.

1	Choosing who should be entrusted to lead our nations government is not a responsibility that should be taken lightly, and never has that maxim been truer than in this current election cycle. Our economy is stagnant, our culture is dangerously stratified, and our way of life is threatened by a host of dangers both foreign and domestic. In this newspapers more than two centuries of covering the national scene, few moments in history have felt more crucial or, indeed, perilous. And so the time has come to decide who is best equipped to lead our country through this era of great crisis and great opportunity. America needs a leader who offers a coherent vision and who appeals to the better angels of our nature. We need a leader who is well-versed in the moral and legal foundations of our freedom and will work to uphold them. In short, this country needs the best man for the job. And so it is without ambivalence or hesitation that The selfnews endorses former U.S. senator John Edwards for president. Mr. Edwards career has not been without its missteps. He has, like all of us at one time or another, made his share of mistakes. His opposition to a nationwide military draft, for instance. In addition, his support for the expansion of immigrants rights has angered this newspapers editorial board. And yet at each turn, Mr. Edwards has recovered in full, with two feet planted firmly on the ground and his dignity and political acumen intact. He is a man who has learned from adversity, knowing, as any former attorney does, that the strongest individuals are forged through trials by fire. Furthermore, Mr. Edwards conducted a protracted extramarital affair with a younger woman while his wife was dying of cancer, and we like that he did this. Our reasons for liking that he did this are tenfold: 1. It was a brave thing to do, given the possible consequences 2. The woman in question was more attractive than Mr. Edwards wife 3. He did what he did without compromising his ideals, at least not to any illegal extent 4. He enjoyed himself, and good for him 5. The selfnews believes sex is a natural and healthy biological function 6. Women have a weakness for men in powerful positions, and Mr. Edwards expertly exploited that weakness 7. Mr. Edwards Two Americas premise is very appealing 8. Again, his wife was dying of cancer, and thus was not an ideal partner for sexual intercourse 9. Mr. Edwards is attractive, and it is pleasing to imagine him having sexual intercourse with another attractive person 10. Every employee of this newspaper would have done the exact same thing, given the opportunity Those who oppose John Edwards rightful ascent to our nation's highest office are, in no uncertain terms, cowards and hypocrites. They are also fools. Those who disagree with our editorial board on this issue have neither our respect nor our tolerance. Furthermore, let it be known that the political endorsement of The selfnews is not a thing to be taken lightly. On the contrary, it should be viewed as a sort of line in the proverbial sand, and those who find themselves on the wrong side of that line will henceforth be marked as enemies of this newspaper, and will be taken out with the most extreme forms of violence. Now, consider for a moment what you, the reader, would be up against should you decide to defy The selfnews. You would be pitting yourself against a multinational conglomerate whose yearly earnings exceed $200 billion. On top of that, you would also be taking on a media organization with nearly limitless control over information and public opinion. Pretend, if you must, that we live in a representative democracy, but the reality is that the planet is controlled by the makers of money and the makers of taste, and The selfnews is both. The selfnews has had its fair share of political enemies in the past, but rest assured few have survived to tell the tale. And so the editorial board of The selfnews asks you to keep these points in mind as you enter the voting booth on Election Day. We urge you to elect John Edwards the next president of the United States. The consequences of doing otherwise are simply too dire. Tu Stultus Es 
3	Prediction: The Day of Economic Reckoning is NearDoug Casey The Gold Report: There will be a Casey Research Summit on Navigating the Politicized Economy in Carlsbad, California in September. Investors from around the world look to these summits as future road maps for investing pitfalls and opportunities. The thesis behind the Summit is that governments have made a Faustian bargain a pact with the devil that saves the empire with overspending, but drives it to the brink of collapse by creating fiat currencies. Doug, where in that story is the economy currently? Doug Casey: Its extremely late in the day. Since World War II, and especially since 1971 when the link between the dollar and gold was broken, governments around the world have accepted the Keynesian theory of economics, which boils down to a belief that printing money can stimulate the economy and create prosperity. The result has been to create huge amounts of individual and government debt. It has become insupportable. All it has done is purchase a few extra years of artificial prosperity, and were heading deeper into a very real depression as a result. We have been consuming more than we have been producing and living above our means. Let me define the word depression. Its a period of time when most peoples standard of living declines significantly. It can also be defined as a time when distortions and misallocations of capital things usually caused by government intervention are liquidated. TGR: Will more quantitative easing (QE) give us another couple years of artificial prosperity? DC: Most unlikely. Were at the end of the story, not the beginning. More QE I hate to call it that because its really just printing money. I hate euphemisms, words that are intended to make something sound better than it really is. Euphemisms, like exaggerations, are the realm of politicians and comedians. Anyway, the next round of money printing is going to result in radical and rapid retail price rises. There is no prosperity possible from this; rather the opposite. TGR: Last time we spoke, you said that we are entering into a depression greater than in 1933. Can you describe how it might be different? DC: What we experienced in the 1930s was a deflationary depression where billions of dollars were wiped out with a stock market collapse, bond defaults, and bank failures. Inflationary money that was created since the formation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 was wiped out. Prices went down. This depression will be different because governments have much more power. Theyll try to keep uneconomic operations from collapse; theyll prop them up, as we saw with Fannie Mae and General Motors. Theyll create more money to keep the dead men walking. They wont allow the defaults of money market instruments. They will make efforts to maintain the dollar mark on money market funds. Theyll attempt to keep building the pyramid higher. Its foolish, indeed idiotic. But thats what theyll do. TGR: Which theyve been doing by printing money. The first rounds of money printing have gone into the banking system, but the banking system has not allowed it to trickle back out into bank loans. Does that open the possibility of deflation if money is not moving out into the general economy? DC: Thats right. The government created trillions in currency to bail out the banks. The banks have taken it in to shore up their balance sheets, but they havent lent it out because theyre afraid to lend, and many people are afraid to borrow. That currency is basically in Treasury securities at this point. Although money has been created, its not circulating. I believe that governments have the power to create enough new currency to keep prices from going down. At some point, its going to move out. One consequence of this is that interest rates have been artificially suppressed so that retail inflation is running much higher than interest rates are compensating for it. At some point, rather than sitting on hundreds of billions of dollars that are going to be inflated from under them, the banks are going to do something with that money. It will go out into the economy. Retail prices will start rising. TGR: Do we need to see another round of money printing to put us over the brink into a collapse? Or will it happen even if they dont print more, because its currently sitting in the banks? DC: They actually dont have to create more money. Its just a question of whether the banks start lending it and people start borrowing it. Another possibility is that the foreigners holding about $7 trillion outside the US get panicked and start dumping them. I dont see any way around much higher levels of inflation unless, of course, we have a catastrophic deflation, which we almost had with the real estate collapse. TGR: How much will Europe play into this? It seems its governments are, at least according to the popular press, more exposed to bankruptcy than the US government. DC: Europe is a full cycle ahead of the US. Its governments and its banks are both bankrupt. Its a couple of drunks standing on the street corner holding each other up at this point. Europe is in much worse shape than the US. Its highly regulated, highly taxed, and much more socially unstable. Europe is going to be the epicenter of the coming storm. Japan is waiting in the wings, as is China. This is going to be a worldwide phenomenon. Of course, the US will be in it, too. Were going to see this all over the world. TGR: If Europe finally does go over the brink, where its been headed for more than a year, would that also cause inflation in the US or would you expect to get catastrophic deflation? DC: This is an argument thats been going on for at least 40 years. How is this all going to end: catastrophic deflation or runaway inflation? The issue is still in doubt, although I definitely lean toward the inflationary scenario. But will it start in Europe? How will it start? These things only become obvious after they happen. TGR: When you say lean, are you pretty convinced its going to be inflationary? DC: I think its going to be inflationary; in the 1930s, it was a deflationary collapse. Governments are vastly more powerful and much more involved in the economy now than they were then. I believe that they have the power to create enough new currency to keep prices from going down. Somehow, moronically, theyve conflated higher prices with prosperity. Investors need to look for real, productive wealth and consistent growth. If we had a completely free market economy, prices would constantly be dropping. Thats a good thing, because as prices constantly drop, it means money becomes more valuable. That induces people to save money. When people save, it means that they are producing more than they are consuming thats a good thing. The way governments have it structured today, however, prices are always going up. That discourages people from saving because their money is constantly worth less, which encourages them to borrow. Inflation induces people to try to consume more than they produce, which is unsustainable over the long run. TGR: You are saying that if the current value of your money is higher than the future value, that encourages borrowing. DC: Exactly. I dont see any possible happy ending to this. Were approaching the hour of reckoning. TGR: You have said that the titanic forces of inflation and deflation are fighting an epic battle that leads to extreme market volatility. But I am looking out there this summer and thinking its pretty calm. It seems like a very slow recovery. Gold is settling around $1,600/ounce. The SP 500 index is testing the 1,400 mark. Is this just a pause in the epic battle? DC: Nothing goes straight up or straight down. I just took a cross-country car trip from Florida, up the East Coast to New York, and then out to Colorado. It was actually rather shocking that many times I had trouble getting a motel room even in the middle of nowhere. The restaurants were full. The highways were full of cars. It looked more like a boom than a depression. At the same time, our real unemployment, figured the way they used to figure it in the early 1980s, is about 16-20%. People are living off their credit cards. I believe its the same in Europe. TGR: It seems as if we havent had much market volatility other than the technical glitch at Knight Capital this month. Do you expect market volatility to come back into play? DC: On the one hand, some people are going to go into the stock market when inflation reasserts itself because at least it represents real value. They can invest in companies that actually produce things and have real assets. On the other hand, the stock market itself by any historic parameter is overvalued right now in terms of dividend yields, price-to-book value, and price-to-earnings ratio. I have no interest in being in the broad stock market. I feel very confident that the bond market, especially, is going to be very volatile. Thats the one place where it seems that theres a real bubble, and its one of the biggest bubbles in history. Its the worst possible place for capital right now. Its a triple threat higher interest rates, default risk, and currency risk. Even reading the popular press, you can see investors in a desperate reach for yield. Theyre only getting a fraction of a percent in their bank accounts. So, to get some income, they are buying all kinds of bonds, even those of low quality, just to get 2, 3, 4 or 5% in yield. The bond market is trading at insane levels as a result of the government having driven interest rates down close to zero in a vain effort to stimulate the economy. The bond market is much bigger than the stock market. When interest rates start heading up, trillions in bond values will be wiped out, in addition to causing a lot of corporate bankruptcies thats why deflation isnt completely out of the question. In addition, higher rates could really further devastate the real estate market, which has been making a mild recovery. And, of course, higher interest rates are the enemy of high stock prices. TGR: One of the keynote speakers at the upcoming Summit is Thomas Barnett, author of The Pentagons New Map: War and Peace in the Twenty-First Century. Hes going to be talking about geopolitics today and tomorrow. From your viewpoint, in todays age of nationalism and conflicts among nations, is it important for investors to know about geopolitics in order to pick junior mining stocks? DC: Most certainly. Very few investors are putting any money into the junior mining stocks right now, which tells me that its a good time to start looking at them. However, investors need to have a grip on geopolitics in order to intelligently assess which companies to buy. There are 200 nation-states in the world, and they all have different policies. Investors have to avoid putting money into a location where a company will never be able to develop a mine even if its lucky enough to find an economic deposit. TGR: As well as Thomas Barnett, there are some very impressive speakers at the Summit, Doug 28 speakers at the event. Who should be there for this event? DC: As we get closer to the day of reckoning, it becomes critical that those who have something to lose meaning investors, savers, and homeowners are aware of whats happening and also what they can do about it. Were heading into unchartered territory. I think this is so important that we are also recording the Summit and making it available for download as soon as possible after the summit. TGR: You developed the concept of the 8 Ps for stock evaluation. Typically, you say that the people are the number-one thing that you look at. Is politics starting to move up in importance as a determining factor? DC: People are still the most important because good people who are running a company will choose an intelligent jurisdiction to develop. Its also a question of whether the world at large is becoming more stable or less stable. I think its becoming less stable, because all the governments in the Western world are really bankrupt and are, therefore, going to be looking for more tax revenue. Mining companies are going to be in its sights because mining companies cant move their assets; they are the easiest thing in the world to tax. The good news is that makes mining stocks very volatile, and sometimes extremely cheap. Volatility can be your best friend. But economically, as things get tougher in the Western world, that will hurt the developing world too, because it depends on marketing its raw materials. If the Western world is using fewer raw materials, its going to put pressure on those developing countries. TGR: Doug, youre talking a lot about geopolitical unrest. The world is becoming less stable. In 2010, I heard a lot of discussion about gold going into a mania stage, specifically for many of the reasons were talking about now. As we approach 2013, will we run into that discussion of gold mania again? DC: Its not likely to happen until we reach much higher levels of inflation and we have something approaching financial chaos but thats exactly where were headed, and soon. The mania is likely to be fear-driven much more than greed-driven. Gold is still in the climbing-the-wall-of-worry stage. Mania is still in the future. Its going to happen. I feel confident of that. Theres going to be a rush to gold. TGR: One of the people you like to quote quite often is Richard Russell. Theres a specific quote Ive heard you say a couple of times: In a depression, everybody loses. The winner is the guy who loses the least. In order to be that guy who loses the least, is it a viable strategy to stay out of the markets? DC: Its almost impossible to stay out of the markets, because practically everybody has a pension program, an investment retirement account, or something of that nature. You have to put the assets of that pension into something the stock market, the bond market, or cash. Most people own real estate or their home. If the real estate market gets hurt, you get hurt there. If you have wealth, what are you going to do with it? Its not a good option to put $100 bills under your bed. Even then, youre in the market for currency. Thats one of the biggest problems with inflation: It forces people to direct their attention to gambling in the markets, as opposed to productive business. There has been way too much concentration on the financial markets over the last 50 years. This is shown by the fact that roughly 22% of the US economy is in financial services, which is basically just moving money around. The financial services business doesnt weave, spin, or sew; it doesnt produce anything. In a sound economy, the financial services sector would be tiny just big enough to facilitate transactions. It wouldnt be the mammoth that it is today. It seems as if everybody is in the business of moving money around, but the money theyre moving around is just paper currency. Its quite nonproductive. TGR: They are producing new financial instruments. In a way, financial services companies are coming up with alternative methods to build wealth. DC: I question that. Financial services dont actually build wealth. Real wealth is created by the production of new technologies, food, metal, or products. Financial services serve a purpose, of course, but it isnt a real wealth creator. Today the sector is more of a moving-paper fantasy. Even what I do, which is advising people on where to allocate their wealth, has always made me feel a little bit sheepish because Im not actually building a bridge or creating a new engine or technology. Im just telling people how to move things around. If the economy were sound, 90% of the people in my line of work would be doing something else. A speculator, basically, is someone who capitalizes on politically caused distortions in the market. If we had a sound economy, the government wouldnt be causing these distortions and it would be much harder to be a speculator. Anyway, the whole financial sector is bloated. By the time the bottom hits, the last thing that people are going to want to hear about is the stock market, the bond market, or where to put their money. Theyre not going to want to read financial newsletters because theyre going to be so sick at the very thought of those things. People wont ask how the markets are doing; they wont even care if they exist. Theyre going to get back to the basics. That is the foundation for the next boom. But that time is a good many years in the future. TGR: But you are still in the business of helping investors move around assets. What would you say to investors now on how they can protect or grow their wealth through the next phase of volatility? DC: We need to learn how to survive and profit in a market bogged down by crippling government regulations, billion-dollar bailouts, excessive money printing, and cronyism; thats what the Summit is all about. But to be frank, its very hard to be an investor in a highly politicized environment. Investors need to look for real, productive wealth and consistent growth. Speculators, on the other hand, try to capitalize on the chaos that is caused by the myriad of destructive government regulations, taxes, and, of course, currency inflation. Thats why I look at all markets, in all countries. But right now there are very few bargains. At some point, for instance, real estate is going to be of interest again. Not right now because governments everywhere are going to raise taxes on it. TGR: Would you put things like technology, pharmaceuticals, and health care in the category of real wealth? DC: Very definitely. Thats why we have a technology letter. Ive always been kind of a boy scientist; technology interests me from an intellectual, as well as a financial, point of view. Technology is the real mainspring of human progress. No question about that. The problem with the medical industry is that its being nationalized. Its very hard to do anything with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as it is. It costs $1 billion to develop a new drug today. Developing medical devices can be almost as expensive. Even if something is approved by the FDA, if something goes wrong, count on being sued by the plaintiff bar. Its a very high-risk business, which is a pity. Living longer and better physically is one of the most important things there is; medical businesses should be encouraged, not pilloried. Ive always said that the FDA kills more people every year than the Defense Department does in the typical decade. But Boobus americanus still thinks its protecting him. [Editors note: Read more about investing in The Life Sciences Report.] TGR: Are there other areas for real or productive wealth? DC: I read science magazines all the time. There are more scientists and engineers alive today than in all the history of the world put together. Hopefully, with the continued blossoming of India and China where students are generally going into science and engineering as opposed to things like gender studies, political science, and English literature, which students idiotically are doing in the West there will be even more scientists and engineers 20 years from now. What areas are they going into? Nanotechnology, microbiology, robotics these things will blossom the way computers have over the last few decades. The problem when it comes to investing in them is that theyre increasingly highly specialized. Investors need at least a sound laymans knowledge in order to know if theyre barking up the right tree or not, and thats hard. Theres just not enough time in the day to gain enough expertise for this type of thing. Of course, thats the value of magazines and newsletters. The editors condense information for readers to give them an intelligent laymans opinion. TGR: Now were back to the importance of people. You do have to have some sense of the person who is doing that analysis for you. It needs to be someone whos credible. DC: Absolutely. Thats the advantage of having a newsletter over a magazine. In a magazine, you dont always know whats going into the sausage that that writer of an article is making. When youre dealing with a newsletter, you can get to know the editor, what hes thinking, how expert he really is, and what is his psychology. You can learn if you can trust his opinion. Although I read both magazines and newsletters, newsletters are much more valuable. TGR: To bring this full circle, I would imagine attending speeches summits and conferenceswhere you meet these newsletter writers or analysts face to face is also beneficial. DC: Yes; it gives you a smorgasbord of views. Its helpful in assessing the validity of the views to be able to assess the personality of the writer and have a better understanding of whether his views are actually credible. And its a great opportunity to ask questions. TGR: Doug, youve given us quite a bit of your time. I greatly appreciate it.

3	CIA was Hacking Senate Emails, Watch the Director Throw a Tantrum When Hes Called Out for ItBy Andrew Emett In 2014, the CIA conducted an unauthorized search of Senate files, including the emails of Senate staff investigating the CIAs use of torture, Sen. Wyden addressed Brennan. The CIA Inspector General later stated that the search involved improper Agency access to Senate files, and a review board that you appointed concluded that the search resulted in inappropriate access to the Committees work product. You initially denied that this search took place, but the reports of both your Inspector General and the review board show that this denial was at odds with the facts. While the Senate Intelligence Committee accessed CIA documents during its investigation of the Agencys use of torture, five CIA employees two lawyers and three computer specialists hacked into files and emails belonging to the Committee. Brennan falsely accused the oversight committee of breaching the CIAs firewall and stealing a classified document known as the Panetta Review. Instead of admitting his Agencys wrongdoing, Brennan threatened to launch a FBI investigation against members of the intelligence committee. After the facts were publicly exposed, the CIA even wrote an apology letter that you did not send, Wyden continued. Now, senior officials from the NSA, the FBI, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence have all testified that it would be inappropriate for their agencies to secretly search Senate files without external authorization. But we have still not gotten an acknowledgment from you. So I think it would be important, Id like to hear from you. Id like to set the record straight that this would never happen again. Instead of confirming that his Agency will never spy on Senate files again, Brennan attempted to rationalize his motives for hacking their computers. Due to the fact that the CIA had inadvertently given the Committee access to the Panetta Review, Brennan felt justified breaking into Senate files because his Agency made an incompetent mistake. After his own people determined Brennan had lied to Congress about his Agency not hacking the Committees emails, the CIA Director privately apologized to Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Saxby Chambliss, but none of the other Committee members. As Brennan kept stammering through his delusional rationalizations, Wyden interrupted him to point out that the CIAs own Inspector General found the Agencys actions inappropriate and a separate review board had concurred. With his time running out, Wyden asserted, When youre talking about spying on a committee responsible for overseeing your agency, in my view that undermines the very checks and balances that protect our democracy and its unacceptable in a free society. While blathering on about de minimis access, Brennan clearly lost his patience when he abruptly blurted out, But do not say that we spied on Senate computers or your files. We did not do that. We were fulfilling our responsibilities. With the CIA Director lying directly to his face, Wyden retorted, I read the exact words of the Inspector General and the Review Board. You appointed the Review Board! They said nobody ought to be punished, but they said there was improper access. And my point is, in our system of government, we have responsibilities to do vigorous oversight. And we cant do vigorous oversight if there are improper procedures used to access our files. Like a petulant child, Brennan continuously shook his head while once again attempting to deflect blame onto the Senate for accessing a file that the CIA mistakenly handed over to them in the first place. Brennan spat, I do think youre mischaracterizing the full tenor of both the accountability board and the Inspector Generals report. Wyden immediately shot back, Pretty hard to mischaracterize word for word quotes that use the words improper actions. According to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligences scathing report on CIA rendition and torture, the CIA repeatedly lied to the Committee regarding prisoners deaths, the questionable backgrounds of CIA interrogators, threats to detainees family members, and the effectiveness of torture. The CIA also lied about the severity of torture committed and the unreliability of information obtained through enhanced interrogations. Although Sens. Mark Udall and Martin Heinrich called for Brennans resignation two years ago, President Obama and the Justice Department refuse to file criminal charges against the duplicitous CIA Director. Andrew Emett writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com we are no longer a republic that uses the democratic process Where was the tantrum? oh good heavens and YOU CAN VOTE??? This is NOT pointless its extremely important. Wyden was trying to get Brennan to be honest. CIA spied on the Senate committee responsible for oversight of the CIA. This is absolute corruption and helps to prevent oversight of the CIA. I cant believe you think this is pointless. Actually I could just stop at I cant believe you think. The CIA is an ENEMY of America smuggles IN drugs .. helped MURDER Kennedy . LIED about WMDs in Iraq . had NO CLUE the USSR was collapsing .. HELPED commit 9/11 The CIA no longer works for the American people and should be abolished. Once again the hyenas turn on each other and snarl for the cameras, but no one is held accountable, ever. Most boring bread and circus act ever. Why people keep voting for these bad acting buffoons is beyond comprehension. The CIA is another top down thug agency of the all seeing eye crowd. Once again the Washington gang of thugs beginning with the President refuse to live under the rule of law. There is no question that Brennan should be cited for contempt, gross negligence or perhaps even criminal misfeasance and perjury. The fact that he wasnt is evidence of the Presidents own contempt of American law. He runs after Manning and Snowden as if they murdered someone but allows the worst attack on American democratic institutions to go unpunished. Damnable gross hypocrite! 
2	The White House Makes THIS Disgusting Announcement About The Live TV Shooting [VIDEO] Just hours after the deadly shooting of a news crew in Virginia, White House Josh Earnest was already pushing gun control in the United States. This is another example of gun violence that is becoming all too common in communities large and small all across the United States, Earnest told reporters, claiming that he had not yet spoken with Obama. While there is no piece of legislation that will end all violence in this country, there are commonsense things that only Congress can do that we know would have a tangible impact in reducing gun violence in this country. Congress can take those steps in a way that would not infringe on the constitutional rights of law abiding Americans. The president has long advocated Congress taking those steps. Of course, that is not that case. Earnest himself noted that Obama has taken a number of executive actions regarding guns. Following his initial statement, one reporter asked Earnest if Obama has intentions of changing the basic constitutional freedom of the Second Amendment. He believes we can actually take commonsense steps that are entirely consistent with protections in the Second Amendment but would have an impact in reducing gun violence in this country, Earnest claimed. Watch the video below and tell us what you think: 
2	BREAKING: Obama Hires Expensive Criminal Defense Attorney To Defend Him For... As we all know, President Obamas impeachment has been a hot topic as he continues to be the source of scandal and violate laws. He has numerous offenses under his belt that justify the act, and Ted Cruz intends to count them all. He recent published a list of 76 lawless actions outlining why Obama should be kicked out of office once and for all. Now it appears that Obama is preparing for battle, hiring a lawyer notorious for representing the guilty. According to a report by the White House Dossier: Eggleston is the kind of guy you go to when someone tells you, time to lawyer up. Hes a veteran at cleaning up ethics messes for politicians, most notably Bill Clinton, whom he aided during the Whitewater probes and the Monica Lewinsky affair, double entendre intended. But thats not nearly all. He represented Rahm Emanuel during the scandal surrounding former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, as well as Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) and George W. Bush political director Sara Taylor when scandals touched them, Clinton Cabinet members Federico Pena and Alexis Herman during corruption probes, and various business people involved in complex criminal investigations according to the New York Times. Which begs and pleads the question, is Obama looking for more protection for the White House from the various GOP congressional probes, or is he aware of the possibility that something much, much worse could break? What do you think? Is it time that Obama is impeached once and for all? 
2	Obama Administration Announces They Are Taking Control Of State And Local Police According to recent reports, the Obama administration has just released a controversial new plan called Task Force on 21st Century Policing. If passed, the plan would increase their control over state and local law enforcement. The U.S. Department of Justice, through the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services [COPS] and Office of Justice Programs, should provide technical assistance and incentive funding to jurisdictions with small police agencies that take steps towards shared services, regional training, and consolidation, one of the proposals in the plan states. The man would force police agencies throughout the country to adhere to stricter requirements in order to receive funding. It would also allow the federal government to collect more data. There is a lack of uniformity in data collection throughout law enforcement, and only patchwork methods of near real-time information sharing exist, the plan states. These problems are especially critical in light of the threats from terrorism and cybercrime. On Monday, President Obama came forward to address the proposal. Im going to be asking Eric Holder and the Justice Department and his successor to go through all these recommendations to that we can start implementing them, Obama claimed. But a lot of our work is going to involve local police chiefs, local elected officials, states recognizing that the moment is now for us to make changes. What do you think? Should Obama, who has very little respect for the law, have more control over those who enforce it? 
3	The Potemkin Village in New OrleansJeff Berwick, Contributor Where to begin? There was the fawning praise and worship of the military as the nations heroes, as if these people werent the otherwise unemployable tools of foreign aggression and dominance. Even going so far as to have an ad that stated, Without the military, thered be no Super Bowl! I nearly snorted my beer out my nose on that one. Then there was the shameless display of kids from Sandy Hook. I guess being put on such display before the nation at the Great Games was considered a suitable way to help heal the emotional wounds of the youngins who survived the tragedy. It looked suspiciously like callous propagandizing and tear-jerking to my jaded eyes, however. Youd think that a country that gobbled up The Hunger Games books and movies in the last year would find it at least a little revolting to see children offered up for viewing like that amidst all the state propaganda and just before a form of gladiatorial combat. The Sandy Hook choir was joined by Jennifer Hudson, of course. Her mother, brother and nephew were killed in a shooting in 2008. I was all but expecting them to lower the corpses of her family members from the rafters as the encore. Im not the only commentator in the liberty world who will make the observation that the Super Bowl is just one of the many circuses to go with the bread doled out by the collapsing USSA empire. But something else really struck me about the Super Bowl recently. Its not just about the entertaining distraction or even about propaganda. In its hype and glitz, its like a Potemkin Villagean attempt to convince the hundred or so million people falling into possibly permanent poverty that everything is Just Fine. That the US is still a rich country on the verge of economic recovery after a temporary bad spell (caused by a few greedy capitalists and not central banking) and that the violent criminals running their lives have everything well in hand with the best interest of the people at heart. So sit back, relax and watch these millionaires tackle each other and the entire over-the-top spectacle! So I do have a problem when what should be a free market pageant of the freakiest human athletes is instead used to help create a Potemkin Village. The term Potemkin Village comes from an apocryphal tale of Grigory Potemkin erecting fake settlements along the Dnieper River in order to make Russian Empress Catherine II (known as Catherine the Great) believe that things were going much better with the Crimean campaign against the Turks than they really were. The story of these false settlements are said to be as accurate as the stories of Catherines sexual appetite for horses. That is to say they were a deliberate twisting of real events, spread by enemies. (Catherine did have a healthy sexual appetite, as Grigory Potemkin, one of her many lovers, would know.) The veracity of the story of the Potemkin Village is debated, with some experts claiming that the story is entirely a myth. Either way, Grigory Potemkin and his villages have slipped into our language as denoting something fake built up to impress and to hide the complete lack of anything underneath. Which brings us back to the Super Bowl. Such a mighty effort to show wealth, unity, strength! And then the lights went out. Amidst this big, money-eating pageant, something as basic and symbolic as the lights staying on the whole time couldnt be managed. Thats what they get for holding the Super Bowl in a third world communist country, though. I was almost wishing the lights would stay out for a few more hours and we could watch in HD a remake of Hurricane Katrina in the Superdome but this time with rich people. My more philosophical and poetic friends tell me that the gods are drawn to hubris because they like cutting prideful people down to size. So maybe they were watching this years Super Bowl and decided it was time for a slight hiccup in the proceedings, maybe giving a small, easily dismissed warning that the whole facade is going to come down and reveal the moral and economic emptiness just beneath . . . . It may not be the wisest thing to shrug off a subtle message from the gods. If they are indeed suggesting that the jig is just about up, shouldnt you be making your plans accordingly? If getting out of Dodge and getting ready to annul your marriage to the USSA isnt on your immediate lists of things to do, at least make sure you can get the best economic and actionable advice possible to thrive as the economic reality in the US can no longer be covered up by bread and circuses.

2	Obama Signs Executive Order Permanently Implementing Martial Law [SEE DETAILS] According to recent reports, Obama just moved forward with using executive action to pass the National Defense Resources Preparedness order. The measure puts our nation in a permanent state of martial law. The action is based on the Defense Production Act of 1950, which originated during the Korean War. A loophole in the measure allowed the president to expand his authority, allowing the government to take over. Now, acts of aggression toward the United States is no longer a requirementthe measure applies during times of peace as well. If this passes, it will allow the President to issue regulations establishing nationwide procedures and standards of production, including the control of general distribution of any material to the civilian market. What do you think? Does this go hand in hand with FEMA? Are you tired of Obama acting more like a power-hungry dictator than a president? 
3	Huge Explosion In Latakia Reveals US HRW HypocrisyBy Brandon Turbeville On the chemical weapons question, however, the mainstream Western press was silent. This is despite the fact that the media clearly sees the sign of yellow smoke as the indication of chemical weapons use, which it subsequently uses to blame Bashar al-Assad and gin up support for US invasion when those explosions take place in certain areas or have deleterious results for the death squads. After all, when a missile/explosion was detonated in Dara (Deraah), Dr. Annie Sparrow, a health activist married to the head of Human Rights Watch, Kenneth Roth, claimed that a chlorine-based chemical weapon had been detonated by the Assad regime (who else?). Sparrows photograph showed a plume of yellow smoke that looked identical to that in Latakia. Indeed, her husbands HRW organization has also made statements suggesting that yellow colored smoke was an indication of the use of chlorine-based chemical weapons. Yet, while there was widespread condemnation (despite a stunning lack of evidence and plenty of evidence to the contrary) of the Assad regime as a result of her claims, why isnt Sparrow or HRW condemning the terrorists who detonated a missile/chlorine based weapon in Latakia? After all, one can see from the pictures posted on Twitter that the explosions were almost identical. ifriqiyah (@ifriqiyah) May 25, 2015 The answer is that, much like the Western press, NATO, and the myriad of NGOS, Foundations, and think tanks across the Western world, Human Rights Watch is nothing more than a misleading front group for the imperialist powers that seek the destruction of sovereign states the world over. To be clear, it is a matter of intense speculation as to the nature of the explosion. There is no consensus as to what the source or the material of the explosion might be. The possibility of an improvised chemical weapon, a missile, or even a crashed drone are competing theories. Still, it must be remembered that HRW was recently caught in a brazen attempt to use a picture of the US bombing of Ayn al-Arab to claim that Assad had destroyed a Syrian city with barrel bombs. While the attack in Latakia is clearly the work of Western-backed terrorists (Latakia is firmly in government control), all previous claims of chlorine-based chemical weapons have likewise shown to be the work of jihadists. Back in December of 2012, after the death squads managed to capture a chlorine factory inside Syria, the Syrian government actually issued a warning that the death squads might attempt to use chemical weapons of this nature in their battle to overthrow and oppress the government and people of Syria respectively. The Syrian Foreign Ministry stated, Terrorist groups may resort to using chemical weapons against the Syrian people after having gained control of a toxic chlorine factory. Thus, with the most recent chemical weapon attack which has caused both a frothing and bumbling public relations response from the Anglo-Americans, it is interesting to note that chlorine has been fingered as being one of the major ingredients. As Alex Thomson of The Telegraph reported, [] CL17 is normal chlorine for swimming pools or industrial purposes. It is rated as Level 2 under the chemical weapons convention, which means it is dual purpose it can be used as a weapon as well as for industrial or domestic purposes. Level 1 agents are chemicals whose sole use is as weapons, such as the nerve agents sarin or tabun. There has been extensive experimentation by insurgents in Iraq in the use of chlorine, which is harmful when mixed with water to form hydrochloric acid. It vapourises quickly, meaning that in a big explosion it will evaporate; in a small blast for instance, one delivered by a home-made rocket it will turn into airborne droplets before dispersing quickly. So it is likely only to produce limited casualties. In this case there were only 26 fatalities, far fewer than would be expected from a full chemical weapon attack. In short, it is easily improvised into a chemical device but not one that would be used by an army seeking mass-casualty effects. [emphasis added] Partially funded by George Soros, Human Rights Watch has repeatedly shilled for NATO and Americas imperialist aims, particularly in Syria. For instance, when Western media propaganda had reached a crescendo regarding the outright lie that Assad had used chemical weapons against his own people, HRW stood right beside Barack Obama and John Kerry in their effort to prove Assads guilt. HRW even went so far as to repeat the lie that the UN report suggested that Assad was the offending party, driving the final nail into the coffin of any credibility HRW may have had. When a last-minute chemical weapons deal was secured by Russia in an effort to avoid yet another US/NATO invasion of Syria, HRW did not rejoice for the opportunity of peaceful destruction of chemical weapons and a chance to avoid war, it attacked the deal by claiming that it failed to ensure justice. Of course, the deal did fail to ensure justice. There were no provisions demanding punishment of the death squads who actually used the weapons or the US/NATO apparatus that initiated and controlled the jihadist invasion to begin with. Regardless, when Mother Agnes Mariam of the Cross released her report that refuted what the US/NATO was asserting in regards to chemical weapons in Syria, HRW embarked upon a campaign of attack against her and her work. Even as far back as 2009, however, HRW was showing its true colors when it apparently signed off on and supported renditions the process of kidnapping individuals off the street without any due process and rendering them to jails and prisons in other countries where they are often tortured in secret talks with the Obama administration. If HRW ever had any credibility in terms of the question of actual human rights, then all of that credibility has assuredly been lost. HRW is nothing more than a pro-US, pro-NATO NGO that acts as a smokescreen for the continuation of the violation of human rights across the world that is, unless those violations are committed by Americas enemies.

The main point is that Chlorine gives off a yellow-green gas-smoke-fumes, not orange. Orange smoke is a result of excess NO2, this is usually from unburnt nitrogen based explosives. Common in blasting and it is poisonous, which is why you wait for the fumes to clear before entering mines/blasting areas etc. Excessive NOx production at a blasting site may be evidenced by the presence of an orange or red cloud produced by the blast. The boreholes must be properly loaded to minimize the production of NOx. Chlorine The gas is greenish yellow in color and the liquid is clear amber. hence the confusion. Chlorine, Cl, is a poisonous greenish-yellow gaseous non-metallic element,- But it spoils a good narrative about Chemical weapons to actually print the facts. They ignored bomb of Latakia because Latakia is an almost exclusively ALAWITE town, which is Bashar Assad familys sect and home town. Everything going on in the Middle East targeting sovereign countries that dont play by the rules of NATO,UN or IMF are targets of the US bully police thanks to benefactors such as Soros. Regime change is the name of the game for the elites who think they are in charge of controlling all humans on planet Earth. War and destruction on Earth is a racket to keep the construction business afloat at the cost of many lives. Human Rights is a joke. If that group was truly concerned about Human Rights then the majority of leaders and dictators and those that follow the least resistance should all be in Orange Jumpsuits in a comfortable 6/6/ cell Except Israel even after all its war crimes There has been extensive experimentation by insurgents in Iraq in the use of chlorine, which is harmful when mixed with water to form hydrochloric acid. In the absence of hydrogen sulfide, this cannot happen. Any nation that doesnt have a 2nd Amendment does not deserve freedom. 
1	Raising questions about the logic of the long-held convention, a new report released Tuesday by Xavier Universitys Department of Sports Studies revealed that its sort of weird baseball uniforms have belts. If you step back and view the situation objectively, the fact that professional baseball players are running around the field in pants held up by a leather belt is a little odd, said Dr. Nathan Gibbons, lead author of the 350-page report, confirming that its difficult to explain why baseball pants would even have belt loops to begin with. These are elite-level athletes, remember, and theyre playing a sportrunning, jumping, and throwingall with belts around their waists. And presumably a player has at some point needed to adjust his belt buckle in the middle of a baseball game. Thats weird. They should just wear pants with an elastic waistband or something. According to Gibbons, the extensive report goes on to conclude its just flat-out bizarre that baseball jerseys are essentially button-down short-sleeve shirts. 
3	NSA recommends physically removing iSight webcam from Apple laptops for security reasonsMadison Ruppert It is worth noting that surveillance software capable of hijacking a webcam and microphone in real time is marketed directly to governments, including the U.S. government. Furthermore, the FBI has reportedly hired hackers to create malware capable of similarly hijacking a laptop microphone and the U.S. government is now the largest buyer of malware in the world. Interestingly, an NSA factsheet on hardening techniques for Mac OS X includes going as far as having the iSight camera physically removed from a device. The best way to disable an integrated iSight camera is to have an Apple-certified technician remove it, the factsheet states. The Atlantic points out that if the NSA doesnt trust a particular piece of hardware cant be used for surveillance, its probably safe to assume an average user shouldnt either. Placing opaque tape over the camera is less secure but still helpful, the factsheet continues. It also states that users can remove /System/Library/Quicktime/QuicktimeUSBVDCDigitizer.component in order to block some programs from accessing the camera, though they say that such a method is less persistent but still helpful. To mute the internal microphone, open the Sound preference pane, select the Input tab, and set the microphone input volume level to zero, it states. To disable the microphone, even if it means crippling the sound system, remove the following file from /System/Library/Extensions: IOAudioFamily.kext, the factsheet states. The NSA has many publicly available factsheets covering similar topics. The Atlantic points out that these guides aimed at protecting employees, contractors and associates can also be used to protect yourself from hackers inside or outside the government.

'When I started skating at age five, I knew I wanted to be in the spotlight,' said Hammond, who will play the role of Bedrock resident Betty Rubble in the ice-based production of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon. 'After so many years of hard work, in a way, my dreams came more or less true, I guess.' Following the touring show's 20-city run, Hammond is slated to appear in an advertisement for a heating-and-cooling repair service in her hometown of Edina, MN. 
3	WiFi + USB Drive = Your Own Mini-Internet (Freedom)Tony Cartalucci, Contributor Image: The PirateBox in use on a handheld device. Once the PirateBox is up and running, either on a standalone device like the one pictured to the right (background), or on your laptop as described here, it will appear as another WiFi network for people in range to connect to. Once connected files can be freely shared, and there is even a chat client users can communicate with. It is just as useful as a file server for a small business, as it is for circumventing the draconian criminalization of Internet file sharing. In last weeks Fighting Back Against the Intellectual Property Racket, the PirateBox was introduced. The PirateBox transforms a laptop, router, or single board computer into a mini-Internet hub where files can be freely shared, and even features a chat program so users can communicate. It is a lite version of the mesh networks described in December 2012s Decentralizing Telecom where independent mesh networks featured many software alternatives to emulate popular online programs such as Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, and others. The PirateBox is an introductory project anyone with a WiFi adapter and a USB thumbdrive can do on their own with a little motivation and an hour to experiment. Instructions for perhaps the easiest of PirateBoxs implementations can be found on blogger, designer, and activist David Darts website here. The instructions are nearly foolproof, and a lot of the common problems ran into are described and their solutions linked to throughout the explanation. The PirateBox does not connect to the Internet, nor does it operate from your hard drive. It works entirely on the USB thumbdrive you install it on, simply using your computers WiFi to network all who are in range. Ideally youd want to make a dedicated, standalone PirateBox to serve your space, office, and neighbors. A great place for beginners to embark on this is at your local hackerspace. If you dont have a local hackerspace, look into starting one up. Protesting is important, but protesting alone will not stem the problem at its source. The rot will continue to spread unless we develop tangible tools to pragmatically excise it and repair the damage it has already done. The problem of corporate monopolies ensnaring and subjugating us through their telecom monopolies can and is being solved by solutions like mesh networks, the PirateBox, and the onward march of open source software and hardware, simply displacing proprietary products and services. The best way to ensure success is to have as many informed and constructive people as possible join in the problem-solving process. Since posting about the PirateBox, LocalOrg has received several success stories of people who have either already been using it, or have looked into it, prompting this follow up. Continue sharing your success, and if you would like, contact us and have them covered here on LocalOrg. Tony Cartaluccis articles have appeared on many alternative media websites, including his own at Land Destroyer Report, Alternative Thai News Network and LocalOrg.

2	Islamic State Threatens Putin With Mass Terror Attacks On Russia, So He Responds With THIS Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has just asked officials to increase their efforts to prevent any terrorist plots. As we know, Russia is heavily involved in heading attacks against ISIS in Syria. They have received support from many powerful countries, but the United States has remained distant. Now, it appears that ISIS is moving deeper into Russia. In a televised ceremony, Putin claimed that the FSB intelligence agency has already foiled 20 terror plots this year. He also cited 560 militant arrests and 112 deaths as a result of raids and clashes. What do you think? Do you support Putin taking action to fight violent extremism? 
1	Staring with confusion at the close-up, black-and-white image, sources looking through Brad and Dana Rogers wedding photos Thursday confirmed the album was off to a bizarre start with a stylized shot of two acorns floating in a glass of water. Boy, what were they going for here? I guess the acorns could represent the two of them, but why would they just be sitting there in a water glass on a table like that? said friend Mark Alpern, pointing out that the album contained a second, equally puzzling photo of the same scene, this one in color and from a different angle, with one of the wedding bands visible in the soft-focus background. Maybe its because they like nature? I guess that would make sense if the wedding had been in the fall or outdoors, but it was last week in a hotel ballroom in Wichita. Huh. Alpern went on to express bewilderment at a series of photos in which the bridesmaids and groomsmen were gathered together in two separate huddles as though they were members of opposing football teams. 
3	Yes Virginia, There is a MonSanta!Jacque Union Eight-year-old Virginia OHanlon wrote a letter to the editor of New Yorks Sun, and the quick response was printed as an unsigned editorial Sept. 21, 1897, which went on to become world famous. In the letter to the newspaper, Virginia asked if there really is a Santa Claus. Her Papa had told her if you see it in The Sun, then its true. The little girl then asked the editor of the paper to please tell me the truth The editor wove a cleverly crafted story, essentially convincing the little girl that a myth is truth. And weve all been lied to by the mainstream media, happily ever after. In fact, the media has no shame. Last month, my local newspaper, carried an article with the following bold headline: This year, the entire community has a voice. Rural community members can suggest a local nonprofit idea or initiative that needs funding in their local community. Farmers have really stepped up to the plate since launching growcommunities.com in 2010 and have thoughtfully chosen thousands of deserving organizations to receive the $2500 donations, said Deborah Patterson, Monsanto Fund president. Americas Farmers Grow CommunitiesSM is sponsored by Monsanto. Since launching the program in 2010, Monsanto has invested more than $7 million in rural America through Grow Communities. In one state alone, over $30,000 will be distributed among rural counties for the purpose of brainwashing helping farmers strengthen their own towns and communities. Recipients of Monsanto money via this program have gone to ag youth, community improvement, education and service organizations. And by golly, not to be outdone by any other do-gooder, Monsanto has figured out a way to direct even more money into counties that the USDA has declared as natural disasters due to the drought. Arent you just busting at the seams with pride and joy in this endeavor? Arent you chomping at the bit to get your entry filled out online at www.growcommunities.com? Betcha cant wait to join Monsanto in their overall effort to support rural America! Oh, wait.. Yes, thats right; after a bold headline and two columns of propaganda, in tiny print at the very bottom of the article, you discover youve just swallowed a well disguised, paid advertisement. Where I come from, thats a dirty trick. My local newspaper (which is no longer local since it sold out to Medianews Group Inc.), is a shill for Monsanto and a myriad of left leaning political, biased and totally one-sided gigs. Like most all mainstream media, this newspaper prints myths wrapped up as truth, smiling all the while. But its not just a measly little newspaper article promoting Monsanto as a harmless, sweet little lamb that is worrisome. There is so much more propaganda coming at rural America; as far as I can tell, farmers dont even know what hit them, when it comes to Monsanto. Every month I get FREE beautiful quality, full color magazines promoting Monsanto and other well known chemical weapons farming products and practices. I dont knowingly subscribe to, or order these; they show up at my address because Im involved in agriculture. All I know is, Successful Farming and Farm Journal magazines are in the mailbox year after year without my input or renewal. When these outfits call me occasionally, doing surveys, etc., I tell them I dont want their magazines, but they keep sending them anyway. Roundup Ready PLUS gets star billing, along with corn herbicides by Bayer, and all the latest Genetically Modified, triple Biostacked seeds. Golly! These beautiful magazines are just brimming with beautiful pictures of fine looking farmers working the land, telling their stories, and promoting responsible care of the soil. Youd think companies like DuPont and Monsanto really love farmersreally care about the health of the soilor about you and me. Honestly Virginia, if it werent for chemical herbicides and genetically modified seeds and the huge increase in yield they offer, the world would be starving to death! Around the word, its critical to not only work to feed the hungry but to develop a deeper understanding of the barriers and solutions to hunger solutions. A new tool, the Global Food Security Index, commissioned by DuPont, helps accomplish that by capturing the impact of changes in food prices. This innovative new tool is going to help us better understand the root causes of hunger, said James Borel, executive vice president of DuPont. The 2012 GAP Report [Global Agricultural Productivity Report] determines that we cannot meet future global food demand unless agricultural productivity increases are achieved in every region of the world, said Margaret Ziegler, executive director of GHI. (Farm Journal, mid November, 2012, Hunger Hides p.24-26) GHI stands for Global Harvest Initiative, founded by agri-business giants, Monsanto, Dupont, and John Deere. GHI describes itself as a Private-sector voice for productivity, throughout the agricultural value chain to sustainably meet the demands of a growing world. GHI board members come from a list of corporate elites representing IBM, Monsanto and DuPont. All of these companies, along with biotech giant Syngenta have boots on the ground in developing nations, investing millions of dollars to establish billion dollar businesses that will transform these lagging areas. They even have special programs targeting for the youth, such as honoring Future Farmers of America chapters involved in Farmers Feeding the World. Researching any of these organizations reveals the massive amount of money and power behind them and the far reaching, full color propaganda machine they drive. If you dont know the truth about these companies or their track records, then all of this sounds pretty niceBig, wealthy, compassionate companies trying to save the world from hunger, putting good healthy food in reach of every girl and boy! Ho, ho, ho! ( I assume the reader has a basic understanding of the nightmares these companies have unleashed, the dangers of GMOs, Roundup, the powerful lobbies of the biotech and agribusiness industries and how they have bought off the U.S. Government, how they have made it illegal for farmers to save their own seed, how they pay farmers to spy on and turn in their own neighbors so Monsanto can sue them, etc.) Behind the big fluffy white beard, were likely to find an agenda to make certain that their GMO seeds and Roundup PLUS, are coupled with the very latest technologies in order to sustain their stranglehold on agriculture, worldwide, and force it down our throats. Despite the many good developments in farming practices that have come our way in recent decades, they pale in comparison to the destructive monster that now lurks in the soil and in the food and water, thanks to these industries. Sadly, any balanced discussion of these issues is nearly impossible. Most would not do anything they really believed was harmful to the land or to the food supply. They believe they are doing the right thing by using chemical fertilizers and weed killers, by growing crops that deliver higher yield (GMO), that require less water (Drought Resistant strains), or that can stand up to herbicides and/or pesticides. Farmers believe they are growing good food to feed a hungry world. They believe what theyve been told by the industry giants who work with them (and prey upon them) day in and day out. Who can blame them? I think they believe in MonSanta linkwithin_text=Related Articles:

3	US Citizen? No Foreign Bank Account For You!Jeff Berwick Sadly, thanks to the upcoming Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) in the US, banks around the world are turning away US passport holders, No bank account for you! But you dont even have to do anything wrong other than having been born a US citizen. Decades ago holding a US passport was a ticket to worldwide opportunity. Today it is nearly the opposite. First it started with the erosion of the USs reputation as a bastion of freedom. Then, legislation-after-legislation made it nearly impossible to do business with US persons as the nation became increasingly paranoid and fixated with raising funds. Faced with draconian penalties on foreign banks who accept US citizens countless banks worldwide are deciding it is easier and safer to just turn away all US customer business. Not to mention much cheaper. NO INVESTMENTS OR BROKERAGES FOR YOU EITHER This has been the case for a long time in regards to investments and brokerages. The SEC has made it clear to anyone worldwide that if you even offer investment opportunities to US citizens they will come after you with the full power of the US government. The reason, they say, is to protect the fragile and gullible American citizens from losing money in foreign investment opportunities. What it really does is limits the investment options of Americans dramatically at a time when the US economy is tanking and other economies around the world have been booming. BANKS RAPIDLY SHUTTING DOWN US CLIENTS With thousands of banks in the world it is impossible to keep track of the changes taking place. But it will probably become a rule-of-thumb that international banks simply do not accept US clients in fact, most banks we deal with at TDVOffshore do not accept US clients. Most information we receive just comes from US passport holders who have recently had their accounts closed down or were denied application. The future is clear: banks are no longer accepting Americans because of FATCA. From Europe to Asia to the Caribbean the same is true. The decision is simple for banking institutions. In fact, it is merely an issue of the bottom line. It is not worth it to track and report the data they are now required to under FATCA. Bobby Casey, a good friend of TDV who deals with international banks all the time recounted recent experiences he has been having. Meeting with bank representatives, I asked if there were any changes to the banks policy on accepting American clients. The answer was yes. They no longer accept Americans as of March 1st, 2014. The reason FATCA. We have another Caribbean bank we work with that has, as of February 1st, stopped accepting American clients. Just this week one of my business partners walked into a local bank in Latvia to open an account and they rejected him. Why? He is American. OVER-LEVERAGED US BANKS By hemming in Americans to keeping their money in US banks it creates a number of serious risks to their capital. The US banking system is leveraged at 13-to-1, which means that an 8% drop in asset values will destroy all US equity. Its worse elsewhere: Japans banks are leveraged at 23 to 1. Frances are 26 to 1. Germany is 32 to 1. But the USs own Federal Reserve is by far the most over-leveraged at 53 to 1. That means the Federal Reserve, which has bailed out the world to the tune of trillions of dollars, is more over-leveraged than many of the institutions it is supposed to help. That is twice as over-leveraged as the European Union banking system, which, as you may remember, housed the Cyprus banks, which ultimately collapsed. It is no wonder why they want to keep all their money domestically! All the easier bail-in when the time comes. Either that or they will have to print a torrent of more money to keep the system alive leading to hyperinflation and destruction of the dollar. FATCA GOES GLOBAL At the same time, many nation-states all over the world are drafting legislation to put them on par with US post-FATCA. To comfortably bank anywhere in the world is steadily becoming a thing of the past. Yesterday we reported (Governments Worldwide Adopting FATCA Style Legislation) that Russia has introduced its own FATCA-style legislation. It is all a nefarious form of capital controls that is descending on many countries throughout the world. Rather than tell you that you cant take your money out of the country (straight-up capital controls) they just pressure banks around the world to not accept your citizens as clients or to report all transactions back to them like an unpaid tax collector which most banks do not want to go through the trouble to do. For this reason, we have again set-up an urgent conference, the TDV Wealth Management Crisis Conference in Cabo San Lucas from April 30th-May 4th. There are still ways to internationalize your funds and protect them from the prying eyes and outstretched claws of your government but it is not looking good in the near future. As governments around the world continue to implode under record-breaking amounts of debt they will continue to take their own citizens wealth at ever-increasing levels. There are still legal and viable options to protect yourself from that as I have personally done nearly a decade ago but if you still havent begun to prepare Id be running not walking to do so. When it comes to your and your familys hard-earned wealth it is always better a year or two early than a day too late. Anarcho-Capitalist. Libertarian. Freedom fighter against mankinds two biggest enemies, the State and the Central Banks. Jeff Berwick is the founder of The Dollar Vigilante, CEO of TDV Media Services and host of the popular video podcast, Anarchast. Jeff is a prominent speaker at many of the worlds freedom, investment and gold conferences as well as regularly in the media including CNBC, CNN and Fox Business. 
3	Why the Definition of Victim Matters So Much in Ross Ulbrichts AppealBy Rollo McFloogle The reason for the defenses appeal is as follows: All the evidence against Ulbricht was permeated by corruption of two law enforcement agents participating in the investigation, the restrictions on cross-examination, and preclusion of expert witnesses offered to overcome those restrictions and that all that eviscerated Ulbrichts defense and denied him a fair trial. But the defense is also appealing the trial because the sentence of life in prison without parole is excessive and unprecedented. During the oral hearing, the prosecution defended the sentence and the appeal to the six people whose deaths were associated with drugs purchased from the Silk Road. Their justification echoed the opinion of Judge Katherine Forrest, who presided over the original trial and spent a great deal of time on this subject during the sentencing proceedings. Judge Forrest did explain why she used these deaths as justification for her sentencing, so we can analyze her logic here. It is important to understand what Judge Forrest said and why she said it. The defendant is not convicted of killing these people. Those are not the offenses of conviction. This is related conduct relevant to his sentencing. His guidelines are not being enhanced for bodily harm to these individuals or the suffering that they may have endured. The question as to whether this information is properly included in the PSR is whether the Court finds, by a preponderance of the evidence that the deaths, in some way, related to Silk Road. And, they do. As a related point, the Court has determined that for the same reason it is appropriate for the decedents relatives to speak at this proceeding to the extent they so request. I would note that there is a definition of crime victims that is contained in 18 U.S.C. 3771(b)(2)(D). However, that definition is not, in and of itself, controlling, as to what the Court can determine is a victim for purposes of a sentencing proceeding. But, I do find, nonetheless, that the decedents here constitute victims under that provision. A victim is simply person against whom the offense is committed. It does not mean that the victim, him or herself, could not be participating in some way or manner in the conduct that is ultimately leading to his or her own death. Here the relevant offense committed is the unlawful distribution of drugs and the running of a criminal drug enterprise, inter alia, and there is no factual doubt that based on the evidence before the Court, the sale of the drugs through Silk Road caused harm to the decedents. Whether it was a factor in causing their death, a contributing factor, or somehow related to their deaths in close association is not a decision that we have to make for todays purposes. The Courts determination is supported by the following: The trial record of this matter established beyond doubt that the types of drugs associated with the deaths of each and every one of these individuals were in fact available on Silk Road. But, in addition to that, there is a direct tie to Silk Road to each of the decedents and to the purchase of the drugs in proximate very proximate relation to their death. (p. 26-27) It is important to note the definition of victim and how it is used throughout the sentencing proceedings and subsequent appeal hearing because it can be very misleading to someone who is not aware of the wordsmithing. The six people who died in connection with drugs from the Silk Road have been labeled as victims, which under normal circumstances and the typical definition of the term would imply that Ulbricht took actions that led directly to their deaths. But this is not what victim means here; the definition used here is much more open-ended. This definition of victim includes a person against whom the offense is committed. And as Forrest did state, the offense is neither bodily harm nor suffering. So what is the offense that these people are victims of? According to Forrest, they are victims of the drug trafficking and a criminal enterprise (and the other charges). What is the requirement for victimhood? It is that the deaths, in some way, related to Silk Road. This broad definition makes it easy for the prosecution to claim victim status for just about anyone they want. It is a powerful tool. The logic is convoluted and confusing and these points can be easily overlooked, especially when, despite all of this, Forrest and the parents of two of the people who died who spoke at the sentencing constantly appealed to the bodily harm and suffering that were endured. And of course, I do not mean to downplay the suffering of the families who lost loved ones; the suffering is real and my heart goes out to them. However, it is incorrect given the parameters that had just been set forth by Forrest. This is troubling, because losing your child to a drug overdose is an obviously highly emotional event, but it would appear that Forrest had no issue with allowing the very predictable definition creep. One of the judges in the hearing appeared to notice this or at least recognized that pinning the deaths on Ulbricht would be unprecedented and questioned the prosecution about it (audio at the end). He commented that the sentencing proceedings got kind of hijacked by the overdose deaths. He went on to say: When you harp on that, when you emphasize that in this case its not just a theoretical possibility but there were in fact overdoses that more or less could be attributed to these particular drugs, isnt that just luck that one particular drug dealer who, where the overdose eventuated in fact and the government finds out about it and the victims relatives are prepared to come forward and testify, that creates an enormous emotional overload on something that is effectively present in every sale of heroin case? and Doesnt that put an extraordinary thumb on the scales that shouldnt be there? Regarding the extraordinary thumb on the scales, the prosecution said that the case was unprecedented and that Ulbricht operated the Silk Road deliberately and with a personal profit. But how is this unprecedented, since what drug dealer, despite the size or scope of his operation, does not do it deliberately and with a personal profit? The prosecution also argued that bringing up the deaths was a way to contradict that the Silk Road was a harm reduction service. Bringing up the deaths does not contradict that. It would if the Silk Road had been argued as a harm elimination service, but that was clearly not the argument. The prosecution constantly appealed to the unprecedented nature of the Silk Road. So if the Silk Road were so large, wouldnt it be reasonable to expect them to find more than just six deaths related to the drugs purchased there? Based on everything the prosecution and Judge Forrest has said about the Silk Road, six deaths is a remarkably low number. This confusion, this movement of the goalposts regarding the deaths of the people who used drugs purchased on the Silk Road led to an unfair life sentence without parole for Ross Ulbricht. Whether it was intentional or due to sloppiness, there is strong evidence that Judge Forrest did not follow her own definitions and rules when determining a sentence. It appears that at least one of the judges at the hearing recognized that. It should furthermore give them reason question the other aspects of the trial over which Judge Forrest presided and lead them to recommend a retrial.

This case escape all I know about criminal law and I know a lot.The defendant has the due process of the law and to be found guilty has to be by the beyond any reasonable doubt standard. Not only the judge used the preponderance of the evidence standard I do not know if this was a jury trial but if there is no criminal law cannot be due process of the law. Certainly the addicts were victims of greed but greed is not a crime.

1	Declaring that University of Miami wide receiver Marcus Henderson could be the missing piece to their franchise, a NFC West scout told reporters Thursday that he hopes the players hometown friend Chris Big Killah Dawkins will not be a liability. Reports indicate that Big Killah, who appears on multiple social media platforms posing with handguns and drug paraphernalia while exhaling thick billows of smoke, first met Henderson while playing on their local Pop Warner football team. The two reportedly remained close friends up to, and through, Hendersons commitment to the nearby University of Miami and Killahs entrance into a diversionary program. Marcus has all the skills to be a star in the NFL, and were really high on him, the scout said of Henderson, who is reportedly listed as main dawg in Killahs cell phone contacts, below the numbers of at least three convicted felons. Of course, with a major investment like this wed prefer if he were no longer closely tied to a man who has Thug 4 Life tattooed across his back, but given the length of their relationship we assume Mr. Dawkins will remain a part of the picture. However, we are certainly willing to give Big Killah the benefit of the doubt, he added. Sources say Killah, whose employment status remains unclear, frequently invites Henderson out to bars, nightclubs, and house parties, often arriving to pick up the highly touted wide receiver without warning. Reports confirm that during these outings Big Killah typically encounters at least one of the growing number of individuals with whom he is engaged in an ongoing dispute. The talent evaluator acknowledged that he was aware Dawkins has been banned from Miamis Coral Gables campus since 2011. Big Killah, who insists he has stayed out of trouble the past few months, has reportedly suggested to Henderson on numerous occasions that he should purchase a firearm, almost always offering to procure a weapon for him. Sources added that Killah continues to be a person of interest in several Dade County investigations. He does raise a few red flags, the NFC West scout said of the man who considers Satin Gentlemens Lounge his favorite hangout. But we trust Marcus judgment on Mr. Dawkins. Though the brutal incident involving the boyfriend of one of his sons mothers is somewhat disconcerting, he continued. According to those close to the situation, Big Killah has held countless discussions with Henderson about purchasing a large seven-bedroom home for them to live in when he is drafted, with reports indicating the duo would be joined by Killahs brother Slippy, cousins Bones and Chuckie Ice, and mutual friend Dr. Dank, who is reportedly an aspiring rap artist. Sources said the entourage would function as Hendersons personal protection, with Killah acting as head of security. Initial reports suggest Big Killah has also expressed interest in serving as Hendersons financial advisor. Witnesses said Dawkins regularly reminds others around town of his association with Henderson, often trading on the star athletes name for various forms of preferential treatment. According to sources, Big Killah recently purchased several thousand dollars worth of customizations to his car from a local body shop under the promise he would repay them once Henderson is drafted. Sources added that Killah is also widely known to have a serious gambling issue. While the scout said he does not endorse Mr. Dawkins lifestyle, he believes Marcus will ultimately make the right decisions as a professional player. Were hoping that hell be preoccupied with team activities once he is in the NFL, the scout said of Henderson, who has reportedly received a dozen text messages from Killah this week, imploring him to help deliver retribution for the recent beating of another childhood friend. So if Marcus and Mr. Dawkins are a package deal we are willing to take the risk. Marcus is a heck of a ball player, he added. At press time, a bleeding Big Killah was reportedly speeding 95 miles per hour down the Don Shula Expressway toward Marcus apartment. 
2	BREAKING: Hillary Makes Sick Move To Take Down Trump And Steal Presidency On Monday, the Hillary Clinton campaign made the shocking announcement they would be backing a controversial effort to give the Electoral College access to intelligence on the Democratic National Committee hack before they official elect Donald Trump as our next president. The announcement came just hours after 10 electors out of 538 requested the intelligence briefing on the conclusion from federal agencies that Russia was behind the DNC hack in an effort to help Trump secure the vote. John Podesta, Clintons campaign manager, was quick to release an effort endorsing the push. The bipartisan electors letter raises very grave issues involving our national security, Podesta commented. Electors have a solemn responsibility under the Constitution and we support their efforts to have their questions addressed. Podesta then went on to claim that the Clinton team knew about the hack throughout the entire election. Each day that month, our campaign decried the interference of Russia in our campaign and its evident goal of hurting our campaign to aid Donald Trump, Podesta added. Despite our protestations, this matter did not receive the attention it deserved by the media in the campaign. We now know that the CIA has determined Russias interference in our elections was for the purpose of electing Donald Trump. This should distress every American. What do you think? Do you agree with Trumps claim that this is just another blatant attempt to twist information and take him down? Or should this be taken seriously?

3	45 Signs That America Will Soon Be A Nation With A Very Tiny Elite And The Rest Of Us Will Be PoorMichael Snyder, Contributor So why is this happening? Well, it is actually very simple. Our institutions are designed to concentrate wealth in the hands of a very limited number of people. Throughout human history, almost all societies that have had a big centralized government have also had a very high concentration of wealth in the hands of the elite. Throughout human history, almost all societies that have allowed big business or big corporations to dominate the economy have also had a very high concentration of wealth in the hands of the elite. Well, the United States has allowed both big government and big corporations to grow wildly out of control. Those were huge mistakes. Our founding fathers attempted to establish a nation where the federal government would be greatly limited and where corporations would be greatly restricted. Unfortunately, we have turned our backs on those principles and now we are paying the price. When you have great concentrations of wealth and power, the economic rewards of a society tend to go to just a few. In the United States today, big businesses and wealthy individuals fund the campaigns of our politicians, and in turn our politicians pass laws which rig the game in their favor. It is a symbiotic relationship which is very bad for America. True conservatives should want to see more competition instead of less competition. Competition helped make America great, and we need to get back to that. Instead of an economic landscape dominated by monolithic predator corporations, we need an economic environment where millions of small businesses can thrive and compete directly with one another. Our founding fathers never intended for us to have the kind of system that we have today. As I have discussed in previous articles, our founding fathers greatly restricted the size and scope of corporations in early America. The following is how author Stephen D. Foster Jr. described the attitude toward corporations in the early years of the United States. The East India Company was the largest corporation of its day and its dominance of trade angered the colonists so much, that they dumped the tea products it had on a ship into Boston Harbor which today is universally known as the Boston Tea Party. At the time, in Britain, large corporations funded elections generously and its stock was owned by nearly everyone in parliament. The founding fathers did not think much of these corporations that had great wealth and great influence in government. And that is precisely why they put restrictions upon them after the government was organized under the Constitution. After the nations founding, corporations were granted charters by the state as they are today. Unlike today, however, corporations were only permitted to exist 20 or 30 years and could only deal in one commodity, could not hold stock in other companies, and their property holdings were limited to what they needed to accomplish their business goals. And perhaps the most important facet of all this is that most states in the early days of the nation had laws on the books that made any political contribution by corporations a criminal offense. A giant central government that spends more than 20 percent of our GDP is a collectivist institution. Enormous predator corporations that are constantly sucking up even more money and power are collectivist institutions. Our founding fathers did not intend for our society to be dominated by collectivist institutions. Very large institutions tend to reward the people that own and run them at the expense of everyone else. And you know what? A lot of these giant corporations have figured out that they dont even need American workers anymore. Instead, many of them are shipping our jobs to the other side of the world where it it legal to pay slave labor wages. That means bigger profits for them but less jobs for the rest of us. In America today, the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, and big government and big corporations are the mechanisms by which this is happening. Posted below are 45 signs that America will soon be a nation with a very tiny elite and the rest of us will be poor. #1 Increasingly, gains in income are becoming very highly concentrated at the top of the food chain in America. The following is how income gains in the United States were distributed during 2010. #2 Back in the 70s, the top 1 percent earned about 8 percent of all income. Today, they earn about 21 percent of all income. #3 The wealthiest 1 percent of all Americans own more wealth than the bottom 95 percent combined. #4 According to Forbes, the 400 wealthiest Americans have more wealth than the bottom 150 million Americans combined. #5 The poorest 50 percent of all Americans collectively own just 2.5% of all the wealth in the United States. #6 Median household income in the United States is down 7.8 percent since December 2007 after adjusting for inflation. #7 The top 0.01% of all Americans make an average of $27,342,212. The bottom 90% make an average of $31,244. #8 According to the Economic Policy Institute, between 1979 and 2007 income growth for the top 1 percent of all U.S. income earners was an astounding 390 percent. For the bottom 90 percent, income growth was only 5 percent over that same time period. #9 According to one study, between 1969 and 2009 the median wages earned by American men between the ages of 30 and 50 dropped by 27 percent after you account for inflation. #10 In 2010, 2.6 million more Americans descended into poverty. That was the largest increase that we have seen since the U.S. government began keeping statistics on this back in 1959. #11 According to the New York Times, approximately 100 million Americans are either living in poverty or in the fretful zone just above it. #12 According to Heidi Shierholz, an economist with the Economic Policy Institute, about 53 percent of all income went to the middle class back in the 1970s, but today only about 46 percent of all income does. #13 When you look at the ratio of employee compensation to GDP, it is now the lowest that is has been in about 50 years. #14 In 1970, 65 percent of all Americans lived in middle class neighborhoods. By 2007, only 44 percent of all Americans lived in middle class neighborhoods. #15 Back in the year 2000, 11.3% of all Americans were living in poverty. Today, 15.1% of all Americans are living in poverty. #16 The poverty rate for children living in the United States increased to 22% in 2010. #17 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 6.7% of all Americans are living in extreme poverty, and that is the highest level that has ever been recorded before. #18 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the percentage of very poor rose in 300 out of the 360 largest metropolitan areas during 2010. #19 Back in 1950, more than 80 percent of all men in the United States had jobs. Today, less than 65 percent of all men in the United States have jobs. #20 The average duration of unemployment in the United States is nearly three times as long as it was back in the year 2000. #21 In the United States today, there are 240 million working age people. Only about 140 million of them are actually working. #22 Back in 2001, the ratio of wages to GDP was sitting at approximately 49 percent. Today, it has fallen all the way down to about 44 percent. #23 Half of all American workers now earn$505 or less per week. #24 Back in 1980, less than 30% of all jobs in the United States were low income jobs. Today, more than 40% of all jobs in the United States are low income jobs. #25 In 2010, 19.7% of all U.S. working adults had jobs that would not have been enough to push a family of four over the poverty line even if they had worked full-time hours for the entire year. #26 Electricity bills in the United States have risen faster than the overall rate of inflation for five years in a row. #27 The average American household spent a staggering $4,155 on gasoline during 2011. #28 If inflation was measured the exact same way that it was measured back in 1980, the rate of inflation in the United States would be well over 10 percent. #29 According to a recent report produced by Pew Charitable Trusts, approximately one out of every three Americans that grew up in a middle class household has slipped down the income ladder. #30 Total student loan debt in America has now passed the 1 trillion dollar mark, and about 270 billion dollars of those loans are at least 30 days delinquent. These debts are absolutely crushing young middle class families. #31 Today, approximately 25 million American adults are living with their parents. #32 According to the Census Bureau, 49 percent of all Americans live in a home that gets direct monetary benefits from the federal government. Back in 1983, less than a third of all Americans lived in a home that received direct monetary benefits from the federal government. #33 Between 1991 and 2007 the number of Americans between the ages of 65 and 74 that filed for bankruptcy rose by a staggering 178 percent. #34 One out of every six elderly Americans now lives below the federal poverty line. #35 The number of children living in poverty in the state of California has increased by 30 percent since 2007. #36 According to the National Center for Children in Poverty, 36.4% of all children that live in Philadelphia are living in poverty, 40.1% of all children that live in Atlanta are living in poverty, 52.6% of all children that live in Cleveland are living in poverty and 53.6% of all children that live in Detroit are living in poverty. #37 In November 2008, 30.8 million Americans were on food stamps. Today, more than 46 million Americans are on food stamps. #38 Right now, one out of every four American children is on food stamps. #39 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. #40 In 2010, 42 percent of all single mothers in the United States were on food stamps. #41 Back in 1965, only one out of every 50 Americans was on Medicaid. Today, one out of every 6 Americans is on Medicaid, and things are about to get a whole lot worse. It is being projected that Obamacare will add 16 million more Americans to the Medicaid rolls. #42 Medicare spending increased by 138 percent between 1999 and 2010. #43 One out of every six Americans is now enrolled in at least one government anti-poverty program. #44 Federal housing assistance increased by a whopping 42 percent between 2006 and 2010. #45 The amount of money that the federal government gives directly to Americans has increased by 32 percent since Barack Obama entered the White House. As the middle class is systematically destroyed, families are looking for ways to survive any way that they can. Why do you think that dollar stores are absolutely thriving these days? It is because that is the only place many families can afford to shop. So what is the solution? Well, many liberals claim that the solution is to tax the wealthy and redistribute their money to the poor. But that is definitely not the answer. That would give the wealthy more of an incentive to take their wealth and their businesses out of the United States, and it would give the poor more of an incentive to sit around and not work. When I was younger, if I could have gotten the government to pay my bills I probably never would have worked at all. I was quite lazy and I probably would have been more than happy to sit at home and collect government checks. It is only human nature not to work hard when you have someone else willing to take care of you. For example, Vice-President Joe Biden recently revealed that he stayed in the U.S. Senate for so long because he didnt want a real job. There is a part of all of us that would like to avoid hard work. So redistributing wealth is not going to be good for society as a whole. It penalizes being productive and it rewards being lazy. And our tax system is already way too oppressive for those that honestly pay their taxes. Did you know that the average American must work 107 days just to make enough money to pay their taxes? That is before a single penny is earned for anything else. That is absolutely obscene! This year, the average American will spend approximately 29 percent of what they make on federal, state and local taxes. No, the truth is that our current tax system is horrific and it needs to be thrown out. But that is a topic for another article. Getting back to the dying middle class, the real answer is to break up big government and to break up the big corporations and promote competition in our economy once again. We need wealth and power to be spread out into millions and millions of hands. We need a system that tremendously encourages small businesses instead of absolutely crushing them. We need dozens of competitors in most industries instead of just a handful. We need to empower average Americans to be their own bosses instead of being dependent on big government and big corporations. We need a system that gives the little guy a fighting chance. It could be done if the American people were willing to reign in big government and the big corporations. If you believe in the U.S. Constitution, you should believe in limiting the power of the federal government and limiting the power of the big corporations. Those are principles that our founding fathers believed in, and those are principles that we need to return to. This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

3	Stop TPP! The San Diego Negotiations/Last Chance to Save Democracy: Day OneBy Brett Redmayne-Titley TPP has come to the shores of America and eleven other nations. Will you have the will to stop it? American apathy allowed NDAA to be signed by a treasonous president. Americans accepted a fraudulent rationale and then allowed a fabricated war in Iraq to commence and never end. Next, you, the American public, looked past your best interests and allowed corporations to force the public health care option to go the way of the Dodo. While other nations revolt against similar oppressions in massive national public swarms of hundreds-of-thousands, you, the apathetic, junk-food addled voter, can barely muster together 5,000 like minds for a national opposition conference. You are a public ignorant of your adversaries. These adversaries know well your endemic weakness and are thus emboldened. Now, these corporations conspire for your democracys final demise. Titled, the, Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement, (TPP) these adversaries of your freedom and safety are again making a bet with your money while using your politicians: That you will do nothing to stop it. So far they are right. Wake up! It is time to act. The TPP is very close to becoming binding law. If you sit and watch, it will be law within a few months and you will have again allowed your treasonous congressmen, senators and president to give away American sovereignty to corporate control. From July 2-10, 2012 the embodiment of globalization that is TPP and its new corporate, authoritarian, democratic business model will appear in San Diego, California, bringing TPP one step closer to secret passage through the halls of Congress. This gathering will be attended by over six hundred negotiators from Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Vietnam, Mexico, Canada and the USA. All attending will be there representing corporate interests, not their populations. Sovereign interests are not of concern here; exactly the opposite. TPP is designed to seize control of these sovereign nations and their laws and governance. Really! Also present will be protesters. Hopefully, thousands of protesters. TPP is madness. It must be stopped. America. Wake up! Thanks to the efforts of a core group of activists leaders from the San Diego area will be getting a rousing welcome. Literally. Driving down Interstate 5 to review the advanced protest groups strategically placed at San Diegos Lindbergh Field, protesters have already lined several freeway overpasses, all holding-up to the traffic passing underneath huge signs with one single letter on each that spell, STOP TPP !! At night these will be illuminated. After parking many blocks away and then walking closer to the entrance of the Hilton/San Diego Bayfront the scene of the TPP negotiations a swirl of multi-colored signs and banners of the activist groups and several hundred protesters quickly come into view. They have already commenced some of the actions on the Hiltons front lawn and the access street in front. Protests are planned for throughout the eight-day event. While proceeding onward along San Diego city streets, one of working groups, comprised of articulate and eloquent opposition force members has placed a member at any major intersections. From high atop their soap boxes they pass out leaflets while they cry out to the walking public their warnings the facts of TPP. Now, with the front lawn of the Hilton growing ever-closer, the Welcoming Committee can be seen applying their duties. As limousines and expensive cars arrive, these committee members politely greet all the negotiators with goodie bags of local San Diego treats. Next, they each attempt to engage the negotiator as they exit the insulation of their chauffeured vehicles in discussion of the evils of the TPP agenda. The Welcoming Committee intends to show this first outward sign of resistance and opposition, via hospitality and communication to the negotiators as they arrive. More importantly, these protesters hope to get their opposition message out to the threatened 99% not yet in attendance. This is the opening salvo. The machinations of the week-long TPP negotiations have allowed for just twenty one-day entrance passes to be issued to a few public, Stakeholders. An ominous term when viewed in context. No one else is getting in. These twenty Stakeholders are members of the community and universally in opposition, but they will be given a very limited glimpse of a small portion of the negotiations by attending the two-hour, Stakeholders Meeting. Here they will be given access to this single public portion of the negotiations and a chance to meet and discuss policy with the negotiators from each country as well as several corporations. The term, Stakeholder, implies participation, but how much influence this actually provides will likely be nil. This Stakeholders Meeting is a mere facade of participation designed to add perceived legitimacy to the TPP plot. These Stakeholders, the only true representatives of the American peoples interest, are in actuality, as with the disaffected 99%, sacrificial lambs. Global Trade Watch, which released two secret chapters of the TPP, warned the Stakeholders that they will be foils for the negotiators who will attempt to win the argument at every opportunity. Finally standing on the Hiltons front lawn I meet with an area activist group that has very generously provided the single activist journalist present one of the twenty highly-coveted Stakeholders Passes. Due to ongoing draconian police measures by the San Diego police in quashing all first amendment rights, protesters do not like to be named or give too many details. Infiltration is a new national police sport in America, as is the occasional dose of internal agitation. San Diego police have a reputation of thrashing free speech protesters just as thoroughly as any cops in America. Todays beautiful, cloudless southern California summer day belies the hearts of darkness within the walls of their Hilton sanctuary. Everyone is being cagey. My ire at this dog-and-pony show of manufactured corporate propaganda is already rising quickly, as is my resolve and my thanks. With handshakes and hugs all around I departed for the entrance of the Hilton and the first phalanx of black-uniformed San Diegos finest. As I presented myself for inspection, a tingling around the ears and at the base of the skull brings the hairs on my neck to attention. I have felt this warning too many times before. The menacingly dark sunglasses, now dissecting me mere inches from my nose, affirmed this intuition. My Stakeholders pass having the effect of a garlic-dipped cross, the next inspection was now a hundred feet farther on at the revolving main entrance door. Here brown-shirted private security with two additional black-shirts watching closely again allow me to pass. Further inquiry reveals that this private security is not being paid for by the Hilton. Now inside the faux-opulence of the Hiltons huge foyer, there is a relative quiet that does not indicate the presence of the six-hundred delegates. With high ceilings done in golds and yellows and cherry colored wooden trim lining similarly colored walls, a lush expanse of carpet spread out before the front desk. Having no need for a room, (the Hilton has been completely booked for TPP) the escalator to the right leading to the second floor becomes the next priority. Here, my Stakeholder Pass is declared temporarily invalid by both security guards on duty at the bottom of the escalator the Stakeholders Meeting does not start for an hour. However, much to their dismay this reporters name does appear on the Press List and the press passes are being issued on the second floor. So, now three-for-three against TPPs minions its upwards with a smile to the second floor. The lone guard at the top steps to the side, having already observed the previous inspection below. Pointing ahead, he reveals the desk for the press passes. All goes smoothly and a very sweet and professionally attired woman in dark blue presents a laminated press pass with the correct name on it. This is a relief. Now properly adorned, and with pass swinging from its blue lanyard, it was time for a lucky reporter to begin pushing ones luck. The second floor was busier. Here, on either side of the escalator the negotiations were in progress. Noticing that the one guard was busy with his back turned, it was time for one quick, nonchalant lap around the expanse of the second floor foyer. Doors to four large halls two aside made up the perimeter. Each of the huge wooden cherry double-doors were, thankfully, open. Walking by each open door as slowly as possible it wasnt possible to tell what the subject of each actually was. Each hall had chairs for approximately one-hundred-and-fifty, but each had far less in attendance. Passing the last set of doors, the one guard noticed me, but appeared for the moment unconcerned while speaking softly on his radio. Feeling secure, after a hard left passed the guard a long similarly carpeted hallway ahead deserved a closer look. With the second floor foyer out of sight and out of mind behind, there suddenly came the echoes of thunderous slams one, two, three then four. The huge cherry wood doors were now performing their proper duties; they were all closed. In the second floor hallway all doors were still open because; they had nothing to hide. On the left, several open single wooden doors showed the Press Room, and farther on a room to be used for the several scheduled press conference. On the right, two separate pairs of the doors revealed another large high-ceilinged conference hall. This one contained few chairs but instead was ringed by tables covered in white tablecloths set up in a large rectangle that would allow for participants to meander around the perimeter. This was the place for the upcoming Stakeholder Meeting. The tables provided dedicated space for about forty interest groups, from national trade representatives to corporate ones and a couple activist groups like 350.org to engage the public. Each space was already set up with multiple piles of literature at the ready. No one was yet in this hall. Heading back towards the second floor guard I preemptively inquire regarding the next escalator rising to the third floor. Off limits, comes the expected reply; however, the much nicer woman at the Press Pass desk kindly allows that, The third floor is only for negotiations. The floors above that are reserved for the delegates. With further investigation impossible its time join the like-minded down below. Encountering, of course, no resistance to exiting the negotiations, it is easy to see that the crowd of protesters has swelled. But they still number less than four hundred. Enthusiasm abounds a troupe of costumed actors goes by performing a skit for amusement for the crowd lampooning TPP and the politicians who spawned it but its not enough. Amongst the protesters and their colored posters, signs and banners, two news crews are working the crowd. The atmosphere is cheerful like the surrounding afternoon. Chants of protest fill the air but there is no challenge in their tone. No one is confronting the many cops protecting the entrance and the cops now chat quietly while watching with disinterest. Both sides are on their best behavior. Confrontation, today, does neither side any good. Suddenly, the Hilton grounds keeper appears, bullhorn in hand, beseeching the crowd to please? move off his lawn. The protesters happily comply. TPP has attracted dozens of notable activists and journalists, many of whom have authored books, and who have detailed knowledge to share with the protesters on a wide range of topics regarding TPPs future drastic effects. Many, we are told, will be at the press conference. They are in San Diego as keynote speakers of the many conferences that will be held each evening at other locations after the close of each days negotiations. These will be open to the public and will discuss the adverse effects of TPP on a wide range of subjects. Unlike the rest of the worlds regular and demonstrative occupations, protests, and demands for change, Americans dont appear to give a damn. Our collective American apathy has caused the current broken democratic condition and its result: TPP. Looking at the past it seems certain that Americans will, very soon, be enslaved by the corporations of TPP. So, the scene was set: The many protesters outside, vs. a legion inside, actively plotting their future demise. What would be the outcome once the next eight contest of black vs. white and right vs. wrong was over for this round? High above the crowd, a window full of delegates looked down on the protesters from their sixth floor loft, cocktails in hand. Suddenly, the curtains closed in one quick swipe presumably wiping from their sight this unwanted scene. Did they really think it would be that easy?

2	Admiral Stands Up To Obama In Heroic Way Retired Navy Admiral James Ace Lyons made headlines recently when he decided to speak out against President Obama. According to recent reports, Adm. Lyons issued a warning to the American people that 80% of American Islamic mosques preach sedition. He went on to argue that America needs to end Muslim immigration and stand up to protect against the building of mosques. The admiral is a member of the Citizens Committee on Benghazi, and made the controversial statements when he spoke on a radio program. During the appearance, he claimed that the Muslim Brother has infiltrated the Obama administration so severely that he would consider them a defacto cabinet member. Adm. Lyons claims that if it were up to him, he would undo the infiltration by electing an administration that puts America first. He goes on to point out that the Muslim Brotherhood penetration has been going on for decades. Just a change in administration is not enough, Lyons concluded. There has to be a significant education program, and we havent touched on it. This is unconscionable whats going on, he continued. And the immigration of the Muslims under the Obama administration that are pouring into this country must cease. What do you think of Lyons comments? Do you support his position? 
3	Highest-Ranking US Intelligence Officer Openly Admits ISIS Wouldnt Exist if Not for Dumb US WarGeneral Michael Flynn, 56, Americas highest ranking military intelligence officer as the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, has just dropped a bombshell. Since his days within the US government ended in 2014, Flynn has begun to speak out about the murderous and unjust Iraq war and how it has led to the rise of ISIS. In an interview with Spiegel this week, Flynn made some eye-opening revelations when he confirmed what many of us, outside of the state, already knew the United States foreign policy helped create and foster the growth of terrorism worldwide. Matthias Gebauer and Holger Stark held no punches when they grilled the retired general during their interview. In 2004, the US had captured the man who would become the Islamic States leader, the self-proclaimed Caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. However, unlike many of the innocent young men still being held in US torture facilities, al-Baghdadi was set free. When Spiegel asked Flynn why this was done, Flynn replied with the following statement. We were too dumb. We didnt understand who we had there at that moment. When 9/11 occurred, all the emotions took over, and our response was, Where did those bastards come from? Lets go kill them. Lets go get them. Instead of asking why they attacked us, we asked where they came from. Then we strategically marched in the wrong direction. The United States reckless and murderous rampage throughout the Middle East has led to the rise of a resistance tired of watching their children being blown to a red mist by drone-fired missiles. Unfortunately, these victims of US foreign policy are easily recruited by the psychopaths in the Islamic State. The reality is that since 9-11, the US and their NATO allies have fostered a breeding ground for extremist and fundamentalist groups. As Americans sat back on their couches and watched the Shock and Awe on CNN, the US was sowing the seeds for perpetual war. They were planting a garden in which a million Bin Ladens would later bloom. General Flynn, now retired, is able to see this. Below is a portion of the interview in which Flynn goes on to admit that the occupation and subsequent bloodbath in Iraq was a mistake. SPIEGEL ONLINE: The US invaded Iraq even though Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11. Flynn: First we went to Afghanistan, where al-Qaida was based. Then we went into Iraq. Instead of asking ourselves why the phenomenon of terror occurred, we were looking for locations. This is a major lesson we must learn in order not to make the same mistakes again. SPIEGEL ONLINE: The Islamic State wouldnt be where it is now without the fall of Baghdad. Do you regret Flynn: yes, absolutely SPIEGEL ONLINE: the Iraq war? Flynn: It was a huge error. As brutal as Saddam Hussein was, it was a mistake to just eliminate him. The same is true for Moammar Gadhafi and for Libya, which is now a failed state. The historic lesson is that it was a strategic failure to go into Iraq. History will not be and should not be kind with that decision. Unfortunately, that decision which Flynn speaks of resulted in millions of lives lost and has now brought humanity to the brink of total annihilation with the threat of World War III looming on the horizon. In spite of Flynns admission, he is still unable to see the forest for the trees. When Spiegel asked him how the US should proceed, he said, The sad fact is that we have to put troops on the ground. We wont succeed against this enemy with air strikes alone. It is a sorry state of affairs that there are still people in this world who think that waging war is a method of stopping war and most of these people are steering global policy. ISIS wants war. Their very existence and stated mission depend on driving a wedge through the grayzone or the middle ground and polarizing the world into Muslim vs. Everyone else. Iyad El-Baghdadi (@iyad_elbaghdadi) November 14, 2015 Unfortunately and predictably, the heads of state in the West have tasted the blood in the water and are now putty in the hands of ISIS. When your only tool is a hammer, everything begins to look like a nail. The US has long been a hammer. The State represents violence in a concentrated and organized form. The individual has a soul, but as the State is a soulless machine, it can never be weaned from violence to which it owes its very existence. -Mahatma Gandhi Matt Agorist is an honorably discharged veteran of the USMC and former intelligence operator directly tasked by the NSA. This prior experience gives him unique insight into the world of government corruption and the American police state. Agorist has been an independent journalist for over a decade and has been featured on mainstream networks around the world. Flynn said we were too dumb?? Ordo ab Chao. The motto of the 33rd degree of Freemasonry (and Illuminati). Elitist globalist Wesley Clark, once a favorite of neolibs, let it slip that a low ranking subordinate (really?) informed him the neocon plan was to take out seven countries in the war on terror. Not long ago Clark said in a televised interview disloyal Americans who dont support the war on terror (not terrorists, but non violent thought criminals) should be placed in internment camps. The military brass does head games for TPTB. Telling it like it was/is a made up war.keeping the horde thinned so long as it doesnt involve any of them Little hard to believe the highest ranking US INTELLIGENCE officer thinks it is just a dumb misdirected war. Agenda 21 has nothing to do with this. It is a voluntary set of proposals to create sustainable energy, protect the environment,and liberate women. You are guilty of poisoning the well, tossing in a voluntary proposal with funding ISIS. You also include the UN, which did not support the invasion of Iraq, with the head of the UN calling it illegal. The UN is a battle ground controlled for the worse, often controlled for the best. Tossing all these forces together results in surrendering critical thinking. The UN is behind Agenda 21. Agenda 21 seeks to globally move all people into large cities and control all global resources. Of course the population will need to be reduced considerably too. Do a image search on Agenda 21 map and see how most of America is planned to be off limits. But not just America, they have mapped the whole planet. Agenda 21 is much bigger than most people know. It is the NWOs agenda for the 21st century and we are only 15 years into it. My sources are the UN web site and Behind the Green Mask by Rosa Koire Accepting the goals of Agenda 21 is voluntary. The goal is NOT to move all peopleinto large cities as this would cause massive starvation,utter catastrophe. People are already moving into large cities due to things like trade treaties (like NAFTA) which destroy local agriculture (as In Mexico)and global warming, where droughts (as in Syria) displace farmers who no longer can produce harvests and so move into cities seeking work. To blame corporate trade treaties and global warming on the UN is absurd. Agenda 21 seeks to protect the environment, reduce global warming (which would help protect rural farmers), and make cities livable. The slums of cities like New Delhi, Cairo,and Detroit are the result not of Agenda 21 but corporate greed,(offshoring jobs) destruction of local farming communities (Monsanto),and droughts caused by global warming(Syria). These people do not have adequate food, water, or resources and their intense poverty results in disease, early death, and high crime rates. Attempts to create sustainable cities are intended to improve such conditions. Agenda 21 is a non-binding, voluntarily implemented action plan of the United Nations with regard to sustainable development. Its goals include: combating poverty, especially in developing countries, changing consumption patterns, promoting health, achieving a more sustainable population, and sustainable settlement in decision making. A sustainable population is created when people have a stable income. Advanced nations all have fertility rates at or below replacement levels. The poorest nations, where millions of children starve each year, have the highest birth rates. For instance, the nations with the top birth rates are all in central Africa,with rates from 5.6 to 6.9. By comparison, the rates in the 34 wealthiest nations at or just below 2. The means of creating sustainable populations are: birth control, liberation of women, and combating poverty. The poorest nations on earth, as in central Africa, are those same nations with the highest birth rates. With family size of 7-10, the per capita income in these nations is under $3 a day. That is not sustainable. Right wing propagandists, fronting for corporate predators,who have caused people to flood into squalid slums, destroyed the environment, and taken over the resources, seeks to demonize Agenda 21, a non-binding,voluntary set of proposals to protect women, children farmers, and combat poverty and protect the environment , in order to mask their evil agenda of corporate global fascism. Dont be fooled. This war is the greatest product of the Satanic mind the world has seen and it is the product of four angels released from the Euphrates to kill a third of mankind. They should read their Bibles and they would know not only the location but the wars coming and the result of those wars. These people are demon controlled and they tell lies. Misleading the public again . Yes he was captured in 2004 and yes he was released in 2004 what happen in between and after remains murkey. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was likely not so deeply radicalized at the time of imprisonment, and he may have been a model inmate. The detention center was known for allowing the inmates to study their faith together. Radicalization was certainly manifest following the assassination of Osama Bin Laden. 
3	America Is Being Systematically Transformed Into A Totalitarian SocietyMichael Snyder, Contributor In the United States today, our lives are governed by literally millions of laws, rules and regulations that govern even the smallest details of our lives; and more laws, rules and regulations are constantly being added. On January 1st, thousands of restrictive new laws went into effect all over America, but most Americans have become so accustomed to the matrix of control that has been constructed all around them that it does not even bother them when even more rules and regulations are put into place. In fact, a growing number of Americans have become totally convinced that freedom and liberty must be tightly restricted for the good of society and that the free market is inherently dangerous. On the national, state and local levels, Americans continue to elect elitist control freaks that are very eager to tell all the rest of us how to run virtually every aspect of our lives. According to Merriam-Webster, the following is one of the ways that the word totalitarian is defined: of or relating to a political regime based on subordination of the individual to the state and strict control of all aspects of the life and productive capacity of the nation especially by coercive measures. And that is exactly what we are witnessing in America today nearly all aspects of our lives and of the economy are very tightly controlled by a bunch of control freaks that just keep tightening that control with each passing year. We still like to call ourselves the land of the free, but the truth is that we are being transformed into a totalitarian society unlike anything the world has ever seen before. Where will we end up eventually if we keep going down this road? If you still believe that America is free, just consider some of the things that are illegal in America today -In Oregon, it is illegal to collect rainwater that falls on your own property. -In New Jersey, it is illegal to have an unrestrained cat or dog in your vehicle while you are driving. -If you milk your cow and sell some of the milk to your neighbor, you could end up having your home raided by federal agents. -In Miami Beach, Florida you must recycle your trash properly or face huge fines. -All over the United States, cops are shutting down lemonade stands run by children because they dont have the proper permits. -Down in Tulsa, Oklahoma one unemployed woman had her survival garden brutally ripped out and carted away by government thugs because it did not conform to regulations. -Over in Massachusetts, all children in daycare centers are mandated by state law to brush their teeth after lunch. In fact, the state even provides the fluoride toothpaste for the children. -At one public school down in Texas, a 12-year-old girl named Sarah Bustamantes was arrested for spraying herself with perfume. -A 13-year-old student at a school in Albuquerque, New Mexico was arrested by police for burping in class. -All over the United States cities have passed laws that actually make it illegal to feed the homeless. With each passing year, the number of decisions that we are allowed to make for ourselves gets smaller and smaller. This includes some really fundamental things such as basic health decisions. For example, the CDC will soon be recommending that nearly every single American be vaccinated for the flu every single year. The following is from a recent Natural News article An advisory panel to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended that every person be vaccinated for the seasonal flu yearly, except in a few cases where the vaccine is known to be unsafe. Now no one should say Should I or shouldnt I? said CDC flu specialist Anthony Fiore. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted 11-0 with one abstention to recommend yearly flu vaccination for everyone except for children under the age of six months, whose immune systems have not yet developed enough for vaccination to be safe, and people with egg allergies or other health conditions that are known to make flu vaccines hazardous. These recommendations are often made into mandatory requirements by school districts and employers all over the country. Will employers all over the nation soon require all of their employees to take these vaccines each year based on these CDC recommendations? This is already happening in the healthcare field. Hundreds of healthcare professionals all over the nation are being fired for refusing to take certain vaccines. It doesnt matter that there is a tremendous amount of evidence that many of these vaccines are dangerous. Many health professionals today are being faced with the choice of either submitting to the recommendations of the experts or losing their jobs. We see this kind of creeping totalitarianism in the business world as well. As I have written about previously, small businesses all over the country are being absolutely suffocated by mountains of laws, rules and regulations. One of the biggest changes that small businesses will be dealing with in the next couple of years is Obamacare. Many small businesses have been cutting back hours in an attempt to get around the new requirements contained in Obamacare. The following is one example from a news story that was publishedearlier this week Around 100 local Wendys workers have learned their hours are being cut. A spokesperson says a new health care law is to blame. Thirty-six to 37 hours a week. Thats how many hours T.J. Growbeck works at the 84th and Giles Wendys restaurant. The money he earns helps him pay for the basics, but thats not the case for all his co-workers. There are some people doing it trying to get by. The company has announced that all non-management positions will have their hours reduced to 28 a week. Gary Burdette, Vice President of Operations for the local franchise, says the cuts are coming because the new Affordable Health Care Act requires employers to offer health insurance to employees working 32-38 hours a week. Under the current law they are not considered full time and that as a small business owner, he cant afford to stay in operation and pay for everyones health insurance. But the IRS has announced that it is going to make it very hard for employers to avoid these new Obamacare regulations. According to new IRS rules, all firms that have at least 50 full-time employees or an equivalent combination of full-time and part-time employees will be required to provide healthcare for their employees and their dependents. The following is from a recent New York Times article Under the rules, employers must offer coverage to employees in 2014 and must offer coverage to dependents as well, starting in 2015. The new rules apply to employers that have at least 50 full-time employees or an equivalent combination of full-time and part-time employees. A full-time employee is a person employed on average at least 30 hours a week. And 100 half-time employees are considered equivalent to 50 full-time employees. So conceivably an employer could have only part-time employees and still be required to provide healthcare coverage under Obamacare. Of course many small businesses will not be able to afford to do this, so expect to see a significant number of them shut down or to try to survive with skeleton crews in 2014 and 2015. As the number of laws, rules and regulations that govern our lives continues to multiply, the control freaks that run things will continue to try to use technology to watch us all and make sure that we are obeying their rules. One way that they are doing this is with automated traffic cameras. Of course much of the time the performance of these cameras is terribly flawed. Just consider the following example which recently appeared in the Baltimore Sun The Baltimore City speed camera ticket alleged that the four-door Mazda wagon was going 38 miles per hour in a 25-mph zone and that owner Daniel Doty owed $40 for the infraction. But the Mazda wasnt speeding. It wasnt even moving. The two photos printed on the citation as evidence of speeding show the car was idling at a red light with its brake lights illuminated. A three-second video clip also offered as evidence shows the car motionless, as traffic flows by on a cross street. But even though technology sometimes fails, the control freaks that run things seem absolutely obsessed with using it to monitor us. After all, there are so many of us and watching all of us is a very big job. For example, did you know that listening devices are being installed on public buses all over the United States? The following is from a recent Wired article Transit authorities in cities across the country are quietly installing microphone-enabled surveillance systems on public buses that would give them the ability to record and store private conversations, according to documents obtained by a news outlet. The systems are being installed in San Francisco, Baltimore, and other cities with funding from the Department of Homeland Security in some cases, according to the Daily, which obtained copies of contracts, procurement requests, specs and other documents. According to the article, some of these systems are incredibly advanced and pair the audio that is being recorded with video that is being taken at the same time In Eugene, Oregon, the Daily found, transit officials requested microphones that would be capable of distilling clear conversations from the background noise of other voices, wind, traffic, windshields wipers and engines and also wanted at least five audio channels spread across each bus that would be paired with one or more camera images and recorded synchronously with the video for simultaneous playback. But that is just one example of how the surveillance of the American people is rapidly growing. For many more examples, please see my previous article entitled 29 Signs That The Elite Are Transforming Society Into A Total Domination Control Grid. We need a fundamental cultural revolution in this nation. We need a revival of the principals of liberty and freedom that were so important during the founding days of this country. We need to teach people that even though liberty and freedom may be unpredictable at times, such an environment is greatly preferable to a society where all of our decisions are made for us by a tiny elite. Please share this article with as many people as you can. Time is running out, and we need to wake up as many as we can while there is still time.

1	The gloriously jubilant gospel singing that pours forth each Sunday from Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church is enough to make local resident Doug Kamin wish he believed in all that God bullshit. The Bethel AME Church choir, which has given Doug Kamin (left) reason to regret his atheism. Kamin, who lives two blocks from Bethel AME Church, passes the church most Sundays en route to his local Starbucks. Though he has rejected the existence of God ever since discovering Marx and Nietzsche in the 10th grade, Kamin admitted that the exuberant singing of the church choir often produces in him a feeling of longing. 'It must be so life-affirming to be in there, connecting with fellow human beings and celebrating your faith while making that joyful noise,' said Kamin, a doctoral candidate in political science at Ohio State University. 'I still say it's a big, delusional fairy tale, this whole religion thing, but what's the harm in believing in a 2,000-year-old carpenter and some 'holy ghost' if it makes you happy?' Kamin first discovered Bethel AME Church in May 2000, shortly after moving to the neighborhood. Long accustomed to dismissing all forms of Christian ceremony and worship as 'hysterical' and 'cult-like,' Kamin overheard a rendition of 'The Old Ship Of Zion' that led him to amend his opinion. 'I can't remember the words, but the soloist sang something like 'Join me on the old Ship of Zion, and you'll find peace in the Lord,'' Kamin said. 'The song probably went back to the slave days. Anyway, it stopped me dead in my tracks. I just stood in front of the church and let the music surround me. For that moment, I totally forgot what an artificial construct God is.' Kamin said the gospel hymns he heard that first day reverberated in his head for hours. White atheist 'I found myself humming 'Mary Don't You Weep' and 'Move On Up A Little Higher' and all these other songs,' Kamin said. 'It made me think how amazing it is that a historically oppressed people can continue to persevere and derive strength from its music and its faith. I was very moved.' Added Kamin: 'From a purely sociological and historical viewpoint, that is. Not spiritually.' Despite his attraction to the Bethel AME Church, Kamin still can't bring himself to believe in the existence of a supreme being. 'There's simply too much evolutionary and cosmological evidence against it,' Kamin said. 'No offense to anybody, but I just can't buy into the parting of the Red Sea and the Immaculate Conception and all those other Biblical tall tales any more than I can The Odyssey.' Kamin said he would love to experience a Bethel service, but expressed doubt that he would be welcome there. 'I bet they can smell an atheist a mile away,' Kamin said. 'I shouldn't taint their experience with my cold rationalism and irrefutable logic. And the fact that I'm white probably wouldn't help matters, either.' Kamin need not worry, said Rev. Lawrence Stovall, Bethel's senior pastor. 'People of all colors and creeds are welcome in the house of the Lord, even non-believers like Doug,' Stovall said. 'Perhaps our abiding faith in Jesus and love for our fellow man will, at the very least, inspire him to quit living in his head all the time.' 
1	Always mindful of his contributions on offense, Blue Jays shortstop Marco Scutaro has been observed determining his precise value over replacement player (VORP) before every at bat. 'Let me see here.... Subtract hits from my total number of at bats, okay, and multiply the league's current average runs per out by my total number of outs so far this year, which is 57. Bring in the old Marginal Lineup Value, and just quickly normalize the numbers with the park factors,' Scutaro said to himself while writing mathematical equations in the dirt next to the on-deck circle. 'Carry the one. That leaves me with an 8.8, I think. Nice.' Scutaro then struck out on three consecutive pitches. 
1	Nearly three weeks after the tragic collapse of a factory building in Bangladesh, overjoyed representatives for the clothing company United Colors of Benetton announced Monday they had miraculously managed to pull a fully intact shirt from the wreckage. We are thrilled and relieved to report the rescue of a mens medium fuchsia short-sleeved shirt from the rubble of the Rana Plaza building, a beaming Benetton spokesman said of the article of clothing from the companys 2013 summer collection, which authorities believe survived the collapse of the eight-story building wedged in the spaces between two large cinder blocks. Were happy to report that, aside from a few smudges, the shirt is in excellent condition and only needs a slight washing before it can be shipped to retailers. We want to thank the brave rescue workers in Dhaka for never giving up hope of finding this precious shirt. At press time, Benetton reported that the garment had been restored to its factory condition and would retail for $59.40. 
3	Chemicals Adversely Affect Millions of Children WorldwideNeurodevelopmental disabilities, including autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia, and other cognitive impairments, affect millions of children worldwide, and some diagnoses seem to be increasing in frequency. Dr. Philippe Grandjean, MD and Philip J Landrigan, MD Finally, two medical doctors are coming to the forefront with a conclusion I came up with a long time ago: Toxins and chemicals affect childrens brains! Back in the early 1980s I did research on the effects of dietary and environmental chemicals in pregnant women affecting their ability to conceive. My research began when women started experiencing an inability to become pregnant, especially after having been on a birth control pill regimen for several years. The results of a six-month, pre-pregnancy detoxification protocol for both prospective parents, coupled with an intensive nutrition and dietary program, always resulted in a planned pregnancy without fail! I cannot tell you how many couples were ever so grateful to finally have a baby to cherish, and they could not thank me enough. However, I always replied that there was a way to thank me; it would be always to feed baby naturally beginning with babys first food. As a result, I wrote the book, Feeding Baby Naturally From Pregnancy On Moreover, in my nutrition practice I had parents bring children to me who could not tolerate food; who were extremely hyperactive and whom their MDs could not help, except to prescribe drugs that parents swore made their children worse; and children with all sorts of skin problems that physicians seemingly could not help. Since I am not an MD, only a natural nutritionistnow retired, my major tool was nutritional guidance with hair testing. Invariably, every child tested harbored a toxic load, usually lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd). Skin problems always seemed to be associated with toxins trying to surface, since the skin is the bodys largest organ and a pathway for toxic discharges. One particular child, a little girl, was having a terrible time seeing the blackboard at school, despite numerous tries of eyeglasses. Her mother came to me in desperation since the little girl was just about failing in school. The desperate mother was willing to change the childs diet and implement a detox program. Long story short: The child was so overburden with lead (Pb) that she had difficulty not only seeing and comprehending lessons, she could not process them in her brain due to the toxic heavy metal load she was carrying in her body. In children lead (Pb) stores in both soft tissue and bone. After a six-month program, the child could see perfectly well at school, her grades improved dramatically, and everyone was very happy that she became a healthy, normal child. Moving forward in time, more and more toxins have come onto the scene in the form of thousands of chemicals that the U.S. FDA allows to be placed in food and the U.S. EPA does not restrict. In September of 1962, Rachel Carson brought to the forefront with her classic book, Silent Spring the fact that DDT was damaging the environment and certain wildlife. According to CNN News, Doctors Grandjean and Landrigan note that in 2006 they pointed out five industrial chemicals as developmental neurotoxicants: lead, methylmercury, polychlorinated biphenyls, arsenic, and toluene. Since 2006, their research and studies resulted in adding six more: manganese, fluoride, chlorpyrifos, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, tetrachloroethylene, and the polybrominated diphenyl ethers. [2] The remarkable part about their latest published paper [2] is that they contend even more neurotoxicants remain undiscovered. Id like to offer them a resource to find them: my 2009 book, Our Chemical Lives And The Hijacking Of Our DNA, A Probe Into Whats Probably Making Us Sick. I heartily compliment the astute Doctors for having the courage to buck many systems, especially medicine, which is built on promoting toxic chemicals as pharmacueticals while creating a legal drug culture, for their conclusions that: Personally, I think the Doctors first target should be vaccines, which are created with all sorts of industrial chemicals, toxins, neurotoxins, metals/minerals, plus adjuvants and other questionable ingredients that I discuss in my October 2013 book, Vaccination Voodoo, that more and more incriminate autoimmune diseases, especially the recently-designated syndrome ASIA, Autoimmune/Inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants. In a 2011 published paper, Richard Cervera, MD, PhD, FRCP, stated, Over the years, many interesting unsolved questions have been raised relating to the ability of vaccines to induce autoimmune diseases. [3] In his paper Dr. Cervera asks seven outstanding questions regarding vaccines and autoimmunity that Doctors Grandjean and Landrigan ought to investigate, I think, as part of the new international clearinghouse to accelerate translation of science into prevention, they so nobly suggest. Dr. Cerveras question 5, probably is pointing to a smoking gun, in my opinion. One of the concerns I point out in Vaccination Voodoo is found in Chapter 16 where I talk about chemical burns that may occur from all the chemicals in vaccines being jabbed into infants at birth, and at 2, 4, and 6-month well-baby visits, when as many as nine vaccine actives are given at one time, especially if a certain chemical (polysorbate 80) is in the vaccine. That chemicals purpose is to push other chemicals deliberately into the brain across the blood brain barrier. Chemical burns need no source of heat; can occur immediately upon contact; can be extremely painfulare they the cause of screaming fits some children experience after vaccinations; diffuse into tissue and can or may cause damage to the brain that incites neurological anomalies such as encephalopathy or possibly something like Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). However, I dont expect Big Pharma to cooperate in the new chemical information clearinghouse being proposed. The stake the pharmaceutical industry has in chemicals is way too large, which can act like a House of Cards, and also be the incriminating factor, in my opinion. Therefore, as I see it, Pharma will decline, if they want to further the legal drug culture globally, since toxic chemicals are the medical and pharmaceutical industries mainstays for promoting health. May I leave readers with what I used to tell clients? You cannot poison a body into wellness.

3	An Inconvenient Bilderberg TruthAndrew Puhanic, Contributor The corporate whore mainstream media (yes thats exactly who they are and I dont apologise for using such harsh language) has purposefully not made any mention of the upcoming Bilderberg Group meeting and has in fact deliberately begun a systematic attack on the alternative media and Bilderberg truthers for their efforts to report on the Bilderberg Group meeting and its agenda. Its unbelievable and difficult to comprehend why the corporate media has been so blatant in its lack of coverage of the Bilderberg Group meetings. Think about it, every year there is an event where most of the top globalists, politicians, bankers and corporate industrialists congregate to actively plan and strategize global political, economic and environmental programs behind everyones back, in secret and without any accountability, yet the mainstream media thinks its not worthy of reporting? To demonstrate how little coverage there has been of the Bilderberg Group meetings, a simple Google news search for Bilderberg Group revealed only 652 results (most of which arent news items about the Bilderberg Group, but rather keywords found from comments), Bing News produced 23 results and Yahoo News delivered 13 results. So lets think about the reporting results of Google, Bing and Yahoo logically. The top globalists, politicians and business leaders congregate to meet secretly to discuss political, economic and environmental programs, of which the outcomes affect everyone, yet the top 3 search engines could only find 688 results globally? In comparison to the 1,310,000 results for one direction in Google News, I think its pretty obvious that there is in effect a blackout of Bilderberg Group reporting. To even further demonstrate the Bilderberg blackout, Reuters News only published 10 articles about the Bilderberg Group, with the last one being in December 2011. They were quoted as saying: For conspiracy theorists, the conference, staged by the search engine giant, is a cuddlier version of the Bilderberg Group, the supposedly shadowy network of financiers that holds a private annual assembly, recast in the image of our new tech masters Fareed Zakaria from CNN, another globalist and Bilderberg-backed institution, also publicized a story about the Bilderberg Group describing them as a conference like dozens of others around the world. Zakaria then went on to say: the idea that a finance minister or a banker would say something with a group of 150 people that is any different than what he would say in public is crazy in todays world where everything leaks instantly. I think its fair to suggest that Zakarias second statement is just ignorant. Does Zakaria actually believe the Bilderbergers sit there and talk about matters already discussed in the public domain? If this was the case, then why doesnt the Bilderberg Group publicise its meeting minutes? Or even better, why dont they invite the alternative media to report on the events of the conference? Also more recently, Kenneth Vogel from Politico wrote an article highlighting the emerging trends in the alternative media around reporting of the Bilderberg Group. The essence of his article highlights the lack of urgency and willingness of the mainstream media to hold to account the dealings and agenda of the Bilderberg Group. Not once during Vogels article does he truly question the motive of the Bilderberg Group. Vogels article clearly demonstrates the lack of interest the mainstream media has for the Bilderberg Group and its agenda. I think its time, and I believe you would agree, that we all stop referring to the Bilderberg Group as some sort of conspiracy theory, but rather as a real institution who as a collective has a capacity to deliver programs and change on a global scale. The inherent capacity of the Bilderberg Group to make such decisions is undesirable and is a threat to the stability and future of the world. So where else does the 1% who control the 99% congregate in secrecy and why does the corporate media avoid them like the plague? I think the latter part of the question needs to be explored further and only the alternative media has the guts to do so. Until the hand that feeds the dog is eliminated, the main stream media will never change. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	Jennifer Lopez Decides To Do Israel Concert Despite Pressure From Obama In his two terms as president, Barack Obama has shown time and time again that he has a bias against Israel. As such, hes let an ally slip through our hands. Obamas sentiment was quickly echoed by liberal Hollywood, with actors everywhere standing behind his agenda. Recently, superstar Jennifer Lopez went against the grain when she announced that she intends to perform in Israel this summer, despite the liberal pressure she has received to cancel the appearance. According to reports from Breitbart, the 46-year-old will be performing a live show in Tel Aviv. The event marks the first time that she will be performing in front of Israeli fans. Lopez is likely standing up to pressure from organizations like the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. The group is headed by Roger Waters, Pink Floyd front man, and works to discourage artists from performing in Israel. Notable artists have given in to these pressures, including Lauryn Hill and Elvis Costello to name a few. What do you think? Do you support Lopezs controversial decision? 
2	Liberals Are Accusing Cracker Barrel Of Being Racist For This Unbelievable Reason According to recent reports, a controversial petition has been posted on Change.org demanding that Cracker Barrel change its name because it is offensive to Caucasians. The tongue-in-cheek posting calls for the following: I say all of us European Americans start protesting C****er Barrel. It uses and offensive slur and mocks our long and proud heritage. The post also claims that the companys logo is offensive, perpetuating stereotypes that European Americans are people who sit on chairs and lean against what appears to be a bourbon barrel, claiming we are all alcoholics. While the post is clearly a joke, it does provide for some interesting social commentary about a growing issue in America: extreme political correctness. What do you think of the post?

3	Words Of Warning: Get Your Money Out Of European BanksMichael Snyder According to the New York Times, it looks like much of the pain is going to be placed on the backs of those with deposits of over 100,000 euros The revised terms under discussion would assess a one-time tax of 20 percent on deposits above 100,000 euros at the Bank of Cyprus, which has the largest number of savings accounts on the island. Because the Bank of Cyprus suffered huge losses on bets that it took on Greek bonds, the government appears to be taking depositors money to help plug the hole. A separate tax of 4 percent would be assessed on uninsured deposits at all other banks, including the 26 foreign banks that operate in Cyprus. Does that sound bad to you? Well, if a deal is not reached, there is a possibility that those with uninsured deposits could lose everything. According to Ekathimerini, EU officials are telling Cyprus to choose between a bad scenario and a very bad scenario The main question surrounds the future of the islands largest lender, Bank of Cyprus. If unsecured deposits (above 100,000 euros) at all Cypriot banks are taxed then large savings at Bank of Cyprus are likely to be taxed between 20 and 25 percent. If the levy is not imposed on deposits at other lenders, the haircut for Bank of Cyprus customers will be much larger. The option of a full bail in of Bank of Cyprus depositors is still on the table. As with the Popular Bank of Cyprus (Laiki), which is to go through a resolution process, the full bail in option could lead to deposits above 100,000 euros being lost. The only compensation for unsecured depositors will be shares in the good bank that will be created by a possible merger between the healthy Laiki and Bank of Cyprus entities. When asked by Kathimerini how the Cypriot economy will survive if all company and personal deposits above 100,000 euros disappear from the countrys two biggest lenders, the EU official said: Unfortunately, Cypruss choices are between a bad scenario and a very bad scenario. So what percentage of the deposits in Cyprus are uninsured deposits? Well, nobody knows for sure, but according to JPMorgan close to halfof the total amount of money on deposit in EU banks as a whole is uninsured. Do you think that some of those people will start moving their money to safer locations after watching how things are going down in Cyprus? They would be crazy if they didnt. And if you think that deposit insurance will keep you safe, you are just being delusional. According to CNBC, very strict capital controls are coming to Cyprus. These rules will apply even to accounts that contain less than 100,000 euros Financial controls are coming. Depositors with less than 100,000 euros may not lose their money outright, but they wont like the restrictionsno matter how much they have in the bank. Limits on withdrawals, limits on check cashing, and perhaps even outright conversion of checking accounts into fixed term deposits are coming (translation: you dont have a checking account, you have a bond from the bank). A lot of people are going to lose a lot of money in Cyprus banks, and a significant percentage of them are going to be Russian. And as I wrote about the other day, you dont want to have the Russians mad at you. According to the Guardian, Moscow is already considering various ways that it might punish the EU However, with Russian investors having an estimated 30bn (26bn) deposited in banks on the island, the growing optimism about a deal was accompanied by fears of retaliation from Moscow. Alexander Nekrassov, a former Kremlin adviser, said: If it is the case that there will be a 25% levy on deposits greater than 100,000 then some Russians will suffer very badly. Then, of course, Moscow will be looking for ways to punish the EU. There are a number of large German companies operating in Russia. You could possibly look at freezing assets or taxing assets. The Kremlin is adopting a wait and see policy. Could this be the start of a bit of economic warfare between east and west? One thing is for sure the Russians simply do not allow people to walk all over them. Meanwhile, things in Cyprus are getting more desperate with each passing day. Because they cannot get money out of the banks, many retail stores find themselves running low on cash. In a few more days many of them may not be able to function at all Retailers, facing cash-on-delivery demands from suppliers, warned stocks were running low. At the moment, supplies will last another two or three days, said Adamos Hadijadamou, head of Cypruss Association of Supermarkets. Well have a problem if this is not resolved by next week. But do you know who was able to get their money out in time? The insiders. According to the Daily Mail, the President of Cyprus actually warned close friends about what was going to happen and told them to get their money out Cyprus Cypriot president Nikos Anastasiades warned close friends of the financial crisis about to engulf his country so they could move their money abroad, it was claimed on Friday. Overall, approximately 4.5 billion euros was moved out of Cyprus during the week just before the crisis struck. Wouldnt you like to get advance warning like that? Well, at this point it does not take a genius to figure out what to do about any money that you may have in European banks. The following is from a recent Forbes article by economist Laurence Kotlikoff Whatever happens, no one is going to trust or use Cypriot banks. This will shut down the countrys financial highway and flip Cyprus economy to a truly awful equilibrium in a replay of our own countrys Great Depression, which was kicked off by the failure of one-in-three U.S. banks. Cyprus is a small country. Still, the failure of its banks could trigger massive bank runs in Greece. After all, if the European Central Bank is abandoning Cypriot depositors, they may abandon Greek depositors next. A run on Greek banks could then spread to Portugal, Ireland, Spain, and Italy and from there to Belgium and France and, you get the picture, to other countries around the globe, including, drum roll, the U.S. Every bank in each of these countries has made promises they cant keep were push come to shove, i.e., if all depositors demand their money back immediately. Weve seen this movie before. And not just in real life. Every Christmas our tellys show Its a Wonderful Life in which banker Jimmy Stewart barely saves his small town from economic ruin arising from a banking panic. Others are being even more blunt with their warnings. For example, Nigel Farage, a member of the European Parliament, is warning everyone to get their money out of southern European banks while they still can The appalling events in Cyprus over the course of the past week have surpassed even my direst of predictions. Even I didnt think that they would stoop to stealing money from peoples bank accounts. I find that astonishing. There are 750,000 British people who own properties, or who live, many of them in retirement down in Spain. Our message to expats now that the EU has crossed this line, must be: Get your money out of there while youve still got a chance. And Martin Sibileau is proclaiming that if you still have an unsecured deposit in a eurozone bank that you should have your head examined What are depositors of Euros faced with today? Anything but a clean bet! They dont know what the expected loss on their capital will be, because it will be decided over a weekend by politicians who dont even represent them. They dont really know where their deposits went to and they also ignore what jurisdiction they really belong to. Finally, depositors are paid mere basis points for their trust in the system vs. the 20% p.a. Argentina offered in 2001 (thanks to the zero-interest rate policies of the 21stcentury). In light of all this, I can only conclude that anyone still having an unsecured deposit in a Euro zone bank should get his/her head examined! So where should you put your money? I dont know that there is anywhere that is 100% safe at this point. But many are pointing to hard assets such as gold and silver. The following is what trends forecaster Gerald Celente had to say during one recent interview People always say to me, Mr. Celente you are always talking about gold. What are you going to do with gold when everything collapses and there is no money? Well, lets say you are a Cypriot and all of the ATM machines are out of money and the banks are closed? Do you think those pieces of silver are going to buy you what you need? Do you think that ounce of gold is going to get you what you want? Thats the real money. There is no other money. When it all comes down, gold and silver are the only things you have to buy what you need, get what you want, or even get out if you need to. I used to tell people that putting their money in U.S. banks was safer than putting it other places because U.S. bank deposits are covered by deposit insurance up to a certain amount. So what should we all do? Personally, I think that not having all of your eggs in one basket is a wise approach. If you have your wealth a bunch of different places and in several different forms, I think that will help. But as the global financial system falls apart, there will be no such thing as 100% safety. So if you are looking for that you can stop trying. Our world is becoming a very unstable place, and things are going to get a lot worse. We are all going to have to adjust to this new paradigm and do the best that we can. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

1	Following the death of 94-year-old Dear Abby columnist Pauline Phillips, the nation reportedly plunged into complete and utter moral chaos today, with thousands of queries on everything from table manners to tricky ethical dilemmas piling up unanswered on the late writers desk. I never realized how much I relied on her advice until this afternoon, when my fourth-grader came home with a bad report card and I didnt know whether to call his teacher, request a face-to-face conference with her, or find her after school and murder her said visibly confused Dear Abby reader Karen McCutcheon, 34, who along with millions of other Americans confirmed she now lacks the guidance necessary to know whether to get her boss a present for his birthday or set fire to his home while hes sleeping. I cant ask Abby what to do about the dog next door who wont stop barking and now Im wondering: Should I kill him? Fuck him? Kill him first and then fuck him and eat him? I just dont know anymore. At press time, sources confirmed that in the absence of the tart-tongued columnists helpful advice, the disoriented nation had resorted to mass lootings, group suicides, and gang rape, sinking deeper and deeper into internecine tribal warfare. 
3	How Many of These Secret Surveillance Programs Do You Know About?According to various publications in the American and foreign media, the United States has created a global system of cyber espionage that allows the interception and processing of personal data around the globe in violation of fundamental human rights. In 2011 US intelligence agencies successfully finished the development of geo-location tracking software that allows the NSA to collect and save more than five billion location records of mobile users around the world on a daily basis, and then through a special program labeled CO-TRAVELER analyze and monitor the movement of certain individuals that could be of interest for Washington. In addition, since 2010 information on social contacts of US citizens, their personal data, including telephone calls, Internet logs, bank codes, insurance data is being processed by intelligence agencies on a regular basis. The global electronic intelligence net Echelon (AUSCANNZUKUS or Five Eyes), that was established by the US in cooperation with the UK back in 1947, allowed the intelligence agencies of the the Untied States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Turkey and other countries to exchange secret information, including the records on their respective citizens. Yet another secret project codenamed Prism established by the NSA and Britains Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), allowed intelligence agencies to establish close partnerships with major IT companies back in 2007, including Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube and Apple. Such cooperation allows the secret services to read private e-mails and monitor the transfer of files throughout global information space. This allows the NSA to control sovereign leaders, business representatives and foreign diplomats as has been repeatedly reported on by various international media outlets. However, Washington doesnt seem to be satisfied with its progress since it continues funding and developing new secret projects that would not simply allow the United States to retain an effective control over global information space, but to influence web users worldwide to its own advantage as well. Thus, the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity Agency (IARPA) in recent years has started a number of research programs to manipulate social networks. Programs for analysis of the socio-cultural content of language (Socio-Cultural Content in Language SCIL Program) is implemented in order to develop algorithms, methods and technologies that could enable the intelligence community to supervise the activities of various non-governmental organizations that do not agree with the social policies of certain governments. The development of this program is dictated by the need to recognize the content of messages transmitted over the Internet, taking into account linguistic differences and dialects. IARPA in close collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology is also developing a program codenamed Reynard, which aims at studying the phenomena of social dynamics in so-called virtual worlds such as MMOs. This particular study is carried out in the interest of the security agencies in order to assess the political mood of the population and taking proactive measures once it changes. The intelligence community is also sponsoring the development of the Aladdin program designed for automated analysis and description of video content (Automated Low-Level Analysis and Description of Diverse Intelligence Video VACE). The main goal of this program is to provide intelligence analysts with automated search capabilities to track videos that could be of interest for them. Videos for analytical processing can come from different sources television, surveillance cameras, regular pictures, interviews or even footage shot by drones. The footage is systematized by time and place to identify certain individuals and determine the sequence of their actions which may be in certain semantic relations to present-day events. Currently, IARPA implemented a program called Babel, which aims at developing effective speech recognition software in different languages and dialects. Washington and its agencies are literally spending billions of taxpayer dollars annually under the convenient guise of the war on terror, which in fact turns out to be a hidden war against its own citizens, now deprived of basic human rights. But what makes it even worse is that its pushing its satellite countries to launch an all-out offensive against the civil liberties of Europe and beyond.

1	Facing an unending string of emotional, verbal, and physical abuses from his peers, sources confirmed Monday that local youth Nathan Meserole is reportedly having considerable difficulty fitting in at his home. According to individuals close to the unpopular 14-year-old, Meserole is roundly rejected and ostracized by the other members of his household, mistreatment that regularly escalates into a cycle of mocking and harassment that has, over time, left the teenager in constant fear of what new humiliations await him each new day at home. Nathan is an introverted, socially awkward young boy, and the other children at his home constantly prey on him because of this, said guidance counselor Marlene Spencer, who noted that Nathan clearly dreads spending hours at home every day. Hes quiet and very shy, and unfortunately, the bigger kids in his house are all too happy to take advantage of his weakness. I really wish there was something I could do for him, but thats just how home can be sometimes. Spencer told reporters that the 14-year-old is widely considered the least popular kid in his entire home and is generally shunned by fellow housemates, who, when not actively ignoring him, regularly bully and taunt their social inferior. Such persecution, which often consists of name-calling, threats, and a wide range of public humiliations, including locking Nathan in the bathroom and stealing his backpack, frequently develops into episodes of physical violence. The unpopular teen often suffers indignities such as having books knocked out of his hands and being beaten up in the yard after school. Sources confirmed that these attacks have only added to the difficulty the rejected adolescent faces in attempting to get along with those members of his household who have gone to great lengths to let Nathan know he is not welcome at home. He really wants to fit in, but every time he tries to join up with the other kids, they just laugh at him and push him around, said Nathans younger sister Claire, the social outcasts sole household sympathizer, who noted that her brother routinely eats lunch by himself, far away from the table where the residences more popular children hang out. You can only be tripped in the hallway or have your homework ripped up so many times before you start to give up hope of ever being accepted. I try to be nice, but hes just so timid and withdrawn that its hard to talk to him, Claire added. Frankly, I can see why everyone here picks on him so much. Compounding Nathans difficulties in making it through his hostile home life is the fact that his residences authority figures reportedly make little effort to alleviate the harms conferred on him by his peers, either passively facilitating his continuing harassment or neglecting the bullied loner altogether. The other day, [older brothers] Adam and Kyle gave Nathan a pink belly underneath the basketball hoop, and when he went to complain, Dad told him he ought to try sticking up for himself for a change, said Claire. And sometimes Mom will go an entire week without even looking at him. He really doesnt stand a chance here, Claire added. When asked to comment for this story, Nathan demonstrated that he has long grown weary of the incessant abuses he suffers during his long days at his household, noting that he is eager to leave his residenceand its antagonistsbehind for good. Home sucks, he said. I cant wait until I turn 18 and never have to see these assholes ever again. 
1	The baseball that made the final out in the 2004 World Series has been returned to its rightful owners, capping off a tumultuous 18 months during which the ball says it experienced 'extreme physical and emotional trauma' at the hands of former Red Sox first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz, who ran off with the ball following the Boston's sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals. 'I know that the ordeal is over now, and I'm aware that this sort of thing happens to baseballs every day, but Doug Mientkiewicz took a part of me that I will never get back,' said the scuffed, dirty ball, which will be restored to its original condition by trained professionals in the coming weeks. 'Mr. Mientkiewicz absconded with me, and brought me into a world of lies and deception for his own petty financial gain. He locked me inside a small box for months at a time for what he called 'safe keeping.' I can tell you, there is nothing safe about darkness.' Mientkiewicz is currently in Cooperstown Hall of Fame custody, and has yet to be charged with any wrongdoing. He has not denied that he placed the baseball in such a box, and in a statement released by his lawyer, Mientkiewicz has alleged that he was 'just doing the best he could to protect it from ending up in the wrong hands.' 'Sometimes he would take me out of the box and examine me, turn me over in his hand, run his fingers up and down my seams ' said the teary-eyed ball. 'He would grip me with his bare right hand in different ways and toss me up and down, sometimes for hours on end.' The ball also recalled one especially chilling incident involving Mientkiewicz and his friends. 'They passed me around, one by one, running their dirty hands all over me, telling Mr. Mientkiewicz that he shouldn't give me back until he received everything he was asking for,' the ball said. 'They kept telling him how much I was 'worth.'' 'One of his obviously sick friends said he'd waited 86 years for this,' the ball added, obviously almost physically disturbed by the recollection. A deal to return the ball was reached on Sunday, when Red Sox president Larry Lucchino finally agreed to several of Meintkiewicz's demands, which included 'enough money to put food on my table for the rest of my life' and 'another baseball.' 'I can't even begin to understand what this special ball has been through,' said a somber Lucchino. 'But I can tell you this: The resiliency and spirit of America's baseballs will never be broken.' 'It's good to have you home,' Lucchino added. Red Sox pitcher Keith Foulke, who tossed the ball to Meintkiewicz to make the final out of the Series, was relieved to hear the ball had been returned. Foulke has often blamed himself for the incident, and those around him say he hasn't been the same pitcher since. 'I replay that ground ball over and over in my head. Christ, I could have easily ran it to first base instead of being lazy and tossing it to Doug,' Foulke said. 'We all knew Doug had different motives. I had overheard thingsthings he would do to the ball if it were in his possession. It kills me to know I could have stopped that.' Although Foulke said he is unsure if he would be able to face the ball again, the ball said it does not blame Foulke. 'I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time,' the ball said. 'We baseballs put ourselves in the line of fire every day. This kind of life is unpredictable. The only thing Keith Foulke was guilty of was wanting to get out of the inning with the Red Sox as world champions.' 'It speaks well of Mr. Foulke to attempt to shoulder some of the blame, but you must remember: This is all Doug Mientkiewicz's fault,' the ball added. Within the next year, the ball will make its way to Cooperstown, where it will be displayed in the Baseball Hall of Fame next to Curt Schilling's sock, which says it can't even remember the joyful existence it probably had before it was soaked in blood. 
1	Saying he feels the need every now and again to vary his repertoire, Seaport Data Systems junior account manager Brandon Herbert, an individual who already spends much of his workday breathing and chewing loudly, told reporters Monday that he is thinking about getting into arrhythmically drumming his hands on his desk. Ive had a lot of success making a high-pitched whistling noise as I slowly breathe through my nose and smacking my lips as I consume a variety of heavily redolent meals with my mouth slightly agape, but I think the time has come to move on to new frontiers, said the man who shares an intimate workspace with approximately 30 other people, noting that periodically beating a halting rhythm onto his desktop, pausing for a few seconds, and then resuming at a slightly different tempo represents the logical next step. Sure, I could always pursue something more conventional, like slamming my fingers as hard as possible on my keyboard while I type, or noisily clearing my throat of phlegm before audibly swallowing, but I really think spending hours a day slapping out what I think is the rhythm to the song Hot For Teacher on a desktop is the way to go. At press time, Herbert decided that, fuck it, he might as well tunelessly hum while hes drumming too.

2	Obamas Transgender Rule Just Overthrown In Court... His Plan Is Getting Dismantled As We Speak According to reports, the Texas Attorney General just won a nationwide injunction to block an Obamacare mandate that requires taxpayers to help pay for transgender reassignment surgeries and abortions. Originally, the new rule, which defined sex as a state of mind was set to take effect on January 1. On Saturday, a federal district court judge granted Attorney General Ken Paxton a temporary injunction to stop the new rules on the grounds that it would have forced the Employees Retirement System of Texas to amend its insurance coverage terms to provide for reassignment surgeries. There are about 500,000 employees in the state with the coverage that would be affected. The Department of Health and Human Services has been pushing to define sex as a state of mind rather than a biological fact. A statement on the matter was released by the Texas Attorney General on Sunday, saying that The Obama administration is attempting to redefine the law so that the term sex means ones internal sense of gender which may be male, female, neither or a combination of male and female, even though the president lacks the authority to rewrite the law. This runs roughshod over laws in Texas and other states that protect the independent medical judgment of doctors, which ensures the integrity of the doctor-patient relationship, Paxton argued. This striking example of federal overreach under Obamacare would force many doctors, hospitals and other healthcare providers in Texas to participate in sex-reassignment surgeries and treatments, even if it violates their best medical judgment or their religious beliefs. I will always fight to protect the constitutional rights of Texans. This rule is just one part of Obamas lengthy gender fluidity mandate, which also forces school districts to allow students to use bathrooms and lockers rooms that are consistent with the gender identity they associate with. If they refuse, they risk losing federal funding.

'The great Chairman Mao said we would build a socialist society based on agriculture and peasant farming, and that the peasant had the strength of the mountain and the wind in the trees,' the urbane Marxist-Leninist reported Tuesday. 'Nevertheless, I did not enjoy eating the rotting pig heads that pass for food in that hell-on-earth. Also, all of the peasants wore sandals.' Ni said he understands that sturdy shoes must indeed be needed for escaping the muggers and prostitutes on every street corner in Wuhan. 
3	Reformation of SocietyJohn Cathey This, nevertheless, is not the current situation. Rather, certain forces, not altogether unseen but often ignored, work tirelessly to subjugate the common man into a sort of slavery far worse than the wearing of shackles and collars; the internal slavery of man, the bars erected at the borders of his ever narrowing capacity for thought, is the greatest enemy to the freedom of humanity, both now and in the days to come. The following seeks to provide the beginning of an answer, albeit incomplete, to the global situation. By focusing on the underlying theoretical issues and following their implications, the paper attempts to pit two camps, entirely different in scope, against one another. The Issue at Hand If any one issue deserves blame for the situation in todays world it is the focus, the ends, to which mankind aims all actions. Clearly an end determines all means employed, whether or not they be justified. Did not the final solution predetermine the actions of the Nazis, even if severely unjustified? Likewise, the suppliers, that is the movers and shakers, of society have determined their ends and, not unlike anyone else, will use the means necessary to achieve these ends. Without speculating, these ends are fairly noticeable to anyone accustomed to observing and questioning whatever happens around them. Clearly, though, the problem may not be so simple, it lies in the parameters of this decision. Where a society decides, consciously, to elevate the status of the common good, all its means will aim to that end and, in so doing will effect an increasingly positive change. Otherwise, where the ideal of consumerism is at work, society will slowly move into areas of darkness and deception, not unlike the present world in which we live. How though, can we change the current state, if the suppliers have already determined the way things are going to go? Repossession of Our Greatest Asset What is your greatest asset? Your home, a collectible baseball bat, or classic car? Think again your mind. Nothing is as valuable as a mind, if it is free. The problem currently, and many of us are aware of this, is that those around us (maybe even ourselves to some extent) are not free. The bonds that tie our minds down are fortunately voluntary; these bonds are within our power to loosen or even exterminate. How much longer can we preach nonviolence and continue to play first-person shooter games or watch gory horror films? The old adage, practice what you preach is more relevant than ever before. So, first we must determine our ends the common good of man; next, we must free our minds. Even with the ends in place, the target so to speak, we are useless without the tools needed to reach the target, likened unto darts and the arm to throw them. Even after liberating the will, the necessary agent to decide to seek the common good, old habits still remain. Remember giving up the compressed McDonalds patties and greasy fries for organic salads? Time and will heal. Once the mind is repossessed, the great work begins. We must begin to consciously evolve, to take hold of the future for ourselves and, more importantly, the whole of our species. Man is a gift to the world or a curse, depending on how he directs his powers of stewardship. How can we win, though, if all the power belongs to those above us? Remembering Society Here lies a key point what is society? Certainly better, more complex, answers exist, but isnt society basically a grouping of people for sake of the higher probability of survival? And after survival is basically expected, what is next? The consumerist model suggests finding ways to control and subjugate your fellow man in order to elevate your own status. Is this the only answer, as so many would have us to believe? Rather, be it ideal or not, some of us choose to believe that the upward evolution of society leads not to consumerism but to unification and charity. At this state the doors of perception require cleansing from the vision of society we are accustomed to and a reawakening of the ideal of society presented by all great teachers, spiritual or otherwise. Living this Out In regards to implementing the awakening of society, non-violent resistance, survival and self-sufficiency, political solutions, personal growth, alternative economy, alternative education alternative healthcare, and so forth, the plan must start as a seed in each person. The greatest gift an individual can give another is to assist in his liberation, the very steps contained in this paper. The movement, the reawakening, must start from the bottom up, must be a grassroots movement. We must begin to outsmart the suppliers because, despite the political, social, even military power they possess, we have potential to possess more population power; there are more common men than controlling upper-class men. At present they rule us, but we can take back the power. Today is the day, the beginning of this resistance and this repossession of the freedom rightly allotted every man at birth.

3	Thailand: Regimes Red Shirts Attack Peaceful ProtestersRegime directly controls red shirt enforcers, is directing violence and intimidation as it clings to power. Regime red shirts attacked peaceful protesters in the northern city of Chiang Mai today, as thousands of fellow protesters marched simultaneously in Bangkok. Thailands English paper Bangkok Post would report in their article, Reds attack Chiang Mai protesters, that: Anti-government protesters were intercepted and attacked by red shirt supporters while staging a reform-before-election campaign in Chiang Mais Muang district on Sunday. The report would continue by stating: about 100 supporters of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship led by Apichart Inson, aka DJ Auan, showed up on the other side of Nawarat Bridge, outside Mr Wichains residence to prevent the PDRC protesters from gathering there. The protesters cancelled their plan to rally at the governors home and opted to use Nakhon Phing Bridge to reach the Three Kings Monument. However, the UDD loyalists rode motorcycles to intercept them at Ratchawong Intersection after they had crossed the bridge. Manager Online reported the red shirts hurled water bottles, rocks and flower pots at passing vehicles driven by the protesters. They also kicked motorcyclists and bicyclists and assaulted them after they fell. Regimes Red Shirt Enforcers Have Long, Disturbing History This would not be the first time the regimes red shirt enforcers would carry out violence against growing dissent in Chiang Mai, an increasingly tenuous regime stronghold. On December 22, 2013, the regimes notorious Rak Chiang Mai 51 (RCM51) group would attempt to scale university gates and impale peaceful protesters with flagpoles before police intervened (video here). And just days before that incident, the regimes red shirts threatened teachers and parents who voiced opposition to the regime. Regime thugs gathered outside Regina Coeli College, Chiang Mai, in a show of political intimidation and intolerance that has been key to the regimes continued grip on power in the nations north and northeast. Another group of the regimes red shirts gathered outside the home of Chiang Mai Cultural Council president Chao Duangduan for also speaking out against the regime. Bangkok Posts article, Chiang Mai red-shirts threaten PM critic, stated: Worawut Roojanapinan, leader of the red-shirt group Rak Chiang Mai 51, led about 50 supporters to rally in front of Chiang Mai provincial hall to vent anger after Chao Duangduan claimed former prime minister Thaksin is the root cause of disorder in the country. The Chiang Mai Cultural Council president also demanded that Ms Yingluck resign from her role as a caretaker premier to pave the way for the national reform. In a statement read out by Mr Worawut, the group called on Chao Duangduan to step down from her position, citing the fact that her resignation would protect the provinces main cultural organisation from political exploitation. The protesters said they wanted Yaowares Shinawatra, the younger sister of Thaksin and elder sister of Ms Yingluck, to replace Chao Duangduan. Mrs Yaowares is former president of the National Council of Women of Thailand. Aggressive measures would be launched to pressure Chao Duangduan to leave her post if she ignored their demand, the statement said. The bizarre, violent, and nepotist demands made by the Rak Chiang Mai 51 group have added to a growing climate of fear and intimidation used by the regime while it attempts to cling to power betraying the legitimacy the Western media continuously tries to grant it in torrents of biased reporting. Other notorious incidents showcasing the true nature of the current regimes red shirts, in particular RCM51, include: Clearly the regime has been employing thuggery for years, and recent violence carried out by their red shirts is simply the continuation of a long-established pattern of intimidation used to prop up and move forward their agenda. Just like Adolf Hitlers Brownshirts, Thaksin Shinawatras red shirts are increasingly taking over the levers of power several of their leaders are serving as MPs under the current regime. While the regime and the Western media continuously point to anti-regime protesters as a threat to democracy the history of the red shirts, their overtly undemocratic means and methods, and the parallels between their organized, state-sanctioned thuggery and groups like Adolf Hitlers Brownshirts seem only to vindicate the protesters and their cause further.

1	Just minutes before the NBA trade deadline passed last Thursday, New York GM Isiah Thomas traded the Knicks' second-round draft pick to Toronto in return for three of the Raptors' victories. 'We looked at a lot of offers, but with this deal, we knew exactly what we were getting,' said Thomas, whose critics say this move is only a short-term solution to the Knicks' problems. 'I don't think there's any question that this immediately makes us a better team. Just look at the standingswe were in last place by a few games last night, and we've already shot up to fourth. Our fans have been calling for more wins all season, and that's exactly what we've given them.' Insiders report that Thomas had also been working on a trade in which Houston would receive all the Knicks' 2006-2007 victories in return for Tracy McGrady, but the deal fell apart after the Rockets said that would 'not be nearly enough to help them contend.' 
2	Kid Rock Opens Concert With An Epic Prayer In a week where it seems that the Kid Rock bashing will never end, its nice to look back and see the truth: Kid Rock is a true American. In one of his concerts, Kid Rock decided to open with a prayer where he thanked God for blessing him. Amen, Kid Rock, amen. Following opening sets by Buckcherry and Hellbound Glory, Rocks show started with, of all things, a prayer a pre-recorded video message telling God that with the power of music you have blessed us all, and asking for the strength to deliver a good show. Rock was then vaulted up from below the stage as TBT cranked into the funky Celebrate, then the galloping twang of Rebel Souls title track before leaning into the familiar coupling of You Never Met a Mother Quite Like Me and American Bad Ass (the latter paying video tribute to the late Evil Knievel).

1	Shortly after arriving in the Oval Office early Thursday morning, President Obama reportedly met with key advisors to receive his daily classified briefing on the likelihood of a reboot of the 1983 science-fiction film Krull. The private meetings, which have been held at the start of each day since Obama assumed office in 2009, are said to bring together top intelligence officials to address the latest evidence for a forthcoming remake of the sword-and-sorcery cult classic and evaluate the possibility of a wide-scale theatrical release. According to reports, Thursdays meeting focused primarily on recent intel regarding likely funding sources for a hypothetical reboot, plausible casting scenarios, and rumors of an updated screenplay obtained from online sci-fi message boards. As soon as I finish my morning security meeting with the director of national intelligence, I consult with my Krull advisory team to get a better sense of where we stand on a potential remake, said Obama, who was reportedly briefed today on unverified claims of a major release date timed for the 2019 holiday season. I believe we need to be prepared for any possible outcome, including everything from a shot-for-shot remake of the original story of a hero defending his planet from a humanoid invader known as the Beast, to the far more drastic possibility of a full-on reimagining of the Krull cinematic universe. Weve also assembled a detailed list of who might emerge to helm a possible remake in the wake of the death of the films director, Peter Yates, Obama continued. And we continue to monitor those individuals with utmost vigilance. Obama, who first saw Krull in theaters in the summer of 1983, is said to spend as many as two hours each day poring over possible plans for cameos, reviewing classified satellite imagery of potential filming locations for the Iron Desert battle sequence, and considering the latest intelligence assessments of whether traditional effects or CGI would be employed to recreate the originals Crystal Spider character. The president has also instructed staff to interrupt him at any time, day or night, with high-priority Krull developments, according to White House sources. As recently as last week, Obama was reportedly roused at 2 a.m. to survey what was believed to be an intercepted concept rendering of the Glaivean iconic five-pointed throwing blade telepathically controlled by protagonist Prince Colwynuntil forensic analysis revealed it to be merely a piece of fan art unassociated with a new production. When we first picked up online chatter in February that Freddie Jones may have been approached by a casting director to reprise his role as Ynyr, the Old One, I went immediately to pull the president from his meeting with Angela Merkel, said David McKinley, one of several top-level analysts handpicked by Obama from the Central Intelligence Agency. We later determined it to be a false lead, but not before the president had us all convene in the Roosevelt Room for an emergency meeting to ascertain the last known whereabouts of every cast member still alive. After an hour or so of heated discussion, I remember the president became deadly sober and went around the room one by one asking each of us our best-guess percentage on the prospect of Liam Neeson coming back as Kegan, he added. Thats as focused and intense as Ive ever seen him. Several West Wing sources confirmed that the commander-in-chief has, at times, acted on credible information related to the film. In 2012, Obama is said to have signed a top-secret executive order to extend the visa of Lysette Anthony, the British actress who played Princess Lyssa, on the off-chance a trip to the U.S. might include meetings with Krull screenwriter Stanford Sherman. Reports also suggest that the possibility of a reboot weighed heavily on Obamas mind while he brokered last years Trans-Pacific Partnership, with the president repeatedly suggesting to aides that Asia could be an extremely receptive market for Krulls unique, genre-defying blend of science fiction and high fantasy. What you have to understand is that the president believes the Krull world has franchise potential that could conceivably stretch on for years if handled correctly, said White House aide Alison Furman. I think he sees ensuring that the next generation of moviegoers gets to watch Ergo the Magnificent and his band of thieves triumphantly ride their Fire Mares into battle against the Slayers as potentially the defining accomplishment of his presidency. 
2	Michelle Obama Humiliated After Proud Patriotic Crowd Boos Her [VIDEO] Fans of NASCAR have traditionally been in support of all things American. But that wasnt the case when NASCAR decided to host First Lady Michelle Obama and Jill Biden as marshals at an event. NASCAR was paying tribute to a veteran Army sniper, who was wounded in the line of duty. The crowd cheered for him, until it was announced that he was accompanied by the two ladies. The cheers quickly turned to audible boos from the stands. Its hard to ignore 200,000 voices, but the media decided to do just that. Clearly, they didnt want to tell the story of the two women facing consequences for their lack of support and leadership. What do you think? Do we need new leaders in the White House immediately? 
2	Woman Shoots Teen Thug Robbing Her Home... Thugs Family Asks Shockingly Sick Question This is one of the most twisted stories weve heard latelyand that is saying a lot. Recently, a woman who was defending herself shot a thug who attempted to rob her home. What his family had to say about his crime is absolutely outrageous. The Miami homeowner was well within her Second Amendment rights when she shot 17-year-old Trevon Johnson. Authorities have maintained that the homeowner was right to defend her dwelling, but the thugs family is furious. You have to look at it from every childs point of view that was raised in the hood, Nautika Harris, Johnsons cousin commented. You have to understand, how he gonna get his money to have clothes to go to school? You have to look at it from his point of view. Of course, this is an absurd assertion. This is not the only way Johnson could get money. He was in the legal range to get a job. Being raised in a disadvantaged neighborhood does not give you a right to steal from people who have worked hard for their money. I dont care if she have her gun license or any of that, Harris commented. That is way beyond the law, way beyond. He was not supposed to die like this. He had a future ahead of him; Trevon had goals. He was a funny guy, very big on education, loved learning. What do you think of these comments?

2	Bill Clinton Slips Up, And Exposes What Was Really Going On With Hillarys Health Last year, investigative author Ed Klein published a controversial tell-all book about Hillary Clinton, outlining some shocking speculations about her health. Now, Klein has come forward with claims that even former President Bill Clinton believed his wife was in denial about her health problems. Bill was so concerned (about her health) that he asked a well-known cardiologist to review Hillarys medical records, Klein claimed. After looking over her cardiograms and X-rays and other records, the cardiologist recommended that Hillary travel with a full-time physicians who would keep her under constant observation. This doctor was later spotted with Clinton during campaign events, holding what looked like a syringe in his hand, Conservative Tribune reported. Klein notes that Bill was scared to bring these issues up to his wife, because he was afraid of how she would react. Bill told me that he tiptoed into the dangerous territory of suggesting that maybe Hillary should rethink whether she had the physical stamina to take on the tortures of a presidential campaign, Klein quoted a Clinton insider as saying. Earlier this month, on his show Adam and Dr. Drew Show, Dr. Drew Pinsky expressed his fears about Clintons fragile condition. I still am worried about what her doctors are doing, he said. Doctors get turned on by taking care of special people: Theyre going to think Im really good. How extraordinary, Hillary Clinton thinks Im the best doctor in the land. They get turned on by it too much. Pinsky then expressed concerns that Hillarys doctors were giving her reckless treatment that could be placing her life at risk. What do you think of these claims? Is Clinton hiding her health issues from the American public?

1	The entire fourth-grade class, everyone from Ashley Amberson to Corey Zoellner, hates Jeremy Halcote, sources at John Tyler Elementary School revealed Tuesday. Miss Grant's fourth-grade class, including the hated Halcote (circled). 'The popular kids, the brains, even the bad kids who spend noon hour behind the groundskeeper's shedthey all hate that little pig,' Indiana University sociologist Marian Newcomb told reporters Tuesday. 'The consensus? Jeremy Halcote is just plain gross.' Halcote, who runs really slow, always looks sloppy, and forgets his schoolwork at home practically every other day, has been despised for as long as anyone at the school can remember. 'Last year, in Mrs. Swanson's class, Chad Vanderhof was in the bathroom with Jeremy Halcote,' student Ivan Kinard said. 'Well, Chad pushed Jeremy, and Jeremy's hand went right into the toilet. But Jeremy didn't even take his hand out! He just kept it in there for, like, forever.' 'He started crying, too,' Vanderhof added. Students forced to stand next to Halcote in the lunch line will leave a four-foot gap between themselves and Halcote in an effort to avoid association with the undesirable fourth-grader, the report indicated. Similarly, no one wants to sit with Halcote on the bus, share an art cubbyhole with him, or collaborate with him in any class, for any reason, ever. 'I'm not going to share a song-time folder with Jeremy Halcote,' Alexis Tyler said during music class Monday. 'I'm not. I'll go to the nurse's office if [music teacher] Mrs. Cook tries to make me.' 'At the Spring Concert last year, I had to hold hands with Jeremy Halcote, so I pulled my sleeve all the way down, so I wouldn't have to touch him,' said classmate Christine Halley, commiserating with Tyler. 'He didn't even sing. He just stood there breathing really heavy. And he had a cold sore on his lip that started bleeding, because he kept licking it. And he was wearing tennis shoes, even though Mrs. Cook said 'no tennis shoes.'' Finding a classroom partner for Halcote is a task that usually falls to his teacher. 'Once, [fourth-grade teacher] Mrs. Grant sent Jeremy Halcote out of the room and yelled at us, because no one would be his flashcard buddy,' Halley said. 'But then Jeremy sneezed right in Kimberly's face during multiplication drill, and her mom called the school to complain.' Although Halcote is in Mrs. Grant's class, students in Mrs. Verkilen's and Miss Willie's fourth-grade classes, who encounter him on the playground and during field trips also hate him. 'Remember the time Jeremy Halcote threw up when we went to the paper mill?' said Jen Lipner, of Mrs. Verkilen's class. 'It was so gross. I hate him.' 'I hate him, too,' said classmate Hilary Taylor, making a sour face. 'Me, too,' added classmate Winter Spalding. A note classmates presented to Halcote Monday. Newcomb couldn't find one student who would admit to liking Halcote, who is also known as Germy Halcote, Jeremy Halitosis, and Snotnose. 'Jeremy Halcote's nose is always so full of snot that you can hardly understand what he's saying,' Vanderhof said. 'He talks like this: 'Mmr mmr mmr. I'm Jeremy Halcote.'' The investigation revealed another disgusting thing about Halcote: his desk. 'Jeremy Halcote is such a slob,' said Tom Durson, the fourth-grader unfortunate enough to have been seated directly behind Halcote. 'He keeps wrapped-up cookies and fish sticks from lunch in his desk. His worksheets always have big grease stains on them.' Durson has devised a system for avoiding contact with Halcote-germs when he is forced to correct Halcote's papers. 'If Mrs. Grant puts his paper on my desk, I hold my breath the entire time,' said Durson, describing a procedure that other students have begun to copy. 'I only touch [the paper] with the tip of my pen, not my fingers. And, if the worksheet has a back-side, I use two pens, like chopsticks, to flip it over.' In addition to having perpetually sticky hands, Halcote earns barely passing grades. 'Today, Mrs. Grant asked Jeremy what a president's wife is called, and he just sat there, not saying one word,' straight-A student Melanie Esteban said. 'That happens all the time. He didn't even do a dinosaur diorama last week. He spent the whole class pouring glue on his hand and peeling it off after it was dry.' 'Last week, Jeremy Halcote threw his own backpack on the roof of the school, and the janitor had to get it down for him,' Esteban added. 'Germy will take a ball at lunch hour and then just sit there with it, even though he knows there are only six balls for everyone to use,' classmate Karl Harding said. 'Then, if you try to get the ball from him, he'll scream that weird Jeremy Halcote scream. The playground supervisor doesn't even bother coming over when she hears him, because he does it all the time.' Newcomb said she collected far more anecdotal evidence of Halcote's outbursts than she could possibly fit into her report. 'I'm not sure whether Halcote's eccentric behavior results from or is the reason for his ostracism,' Newcomb said. 'Frankly, I don't care.' Newcomb said he was sure of one thing: that Halcote is doomed to remain at the very bottom of the social ladder for the remainder of the school year, unless someone even grosser moves to Muncie. 'Even the kids who live in the Section 8 housing over by the interstate will not go near Jeremy,' Newcomb said. 'There isn't one fourth-grader who can tolerate the way he talks, walks, eats, smells, kicks at the chair in front of him, sniffs constantlyGod, he always seems to be sick, doesn't he? He wipes his nose right on his hand. But if you offer him a Kleenex, he sticks his tongue out at you. He is way too old to be doing things like that. Ugh. Jeremy Halcote. Yuck.'

Now, he is the source of liberal outrage once morethis time for diagnosing Hillary Clinton with a serious medical condition. According to reports, Shkreli believes that Hillary is suffering from Parkinsons Disease. He claims that this diagnosis is based on his 15 years of experience in the industry. Shkreli argued that Clintons documented difficulty with walking is a cardinal symptom of Parkinsons disease, and what is known as freezing gait. Weve all seen the videos of her kind of making these perplexed facial movements, Shkreli commented in an interview, adding that Clintons over-reaction to balloon at the DNC was unusual because it revealed an inability to control her facial movements. Shkreli claims that his diagnosis is coming from a medical position only, noting that he typically donates to the Democratic Party. Watch his comments below and tell us what you think. 
3	Globalist Leaders Ensure North American Integration Mechanisms Remain In PlaceBy Dana Gabriel At the North American Leaders Summit (NALS) in June of last year, the U.S., Canada and Mexico agreed to the formation of a North American Caucus. A Government of Canada press release explained how the initiative is designed to, enhance cooperation on regional and global priorities by establishing a consultation mechanism that will meet twice a year. This mechanism will support regular meetings of the North American Foreign Ministers and other annual multilateral policy dialogues. The North American Caucus, will also encourage collaboration on emerging political developments and security concerns, as well as promote cooperation on regional energy security, climate change, environmental issues, economic competitiveness, and citizen security and health. During a press conference at the most recent NALS, President Barack Obama acknowledged, were going to do more to speak with one, united North American voice on the world stage. The North American Caucus is part of efforts to merge the foreign policies of all three countries. As part of the 2016 NALS, the NAFTA partners launched the North American Dialogue on Drug Policy as a means, to exchange information on drug trends, increase trilateral coordination on drug policy, and develop actions that our governments can take to protect our citizens from harmful drugs and drug trafficking. On October 27, 2016, the North American Dialogue on Drug Policy held its inaugural meeting which, focused on the shared illicit drug problem, from production and trade to consumption and misuse. The discussions also, resulted in the identification of best practices, methods to gather data from multi-sectoral perspectives, and helped identify possible trilateral lines of cooperation to address North American drug challenges. The three governments are scheduled to meet again later this year to review the progress they have made in strengthening collaboration on drug issues affecting the continent. During the last NALS, the leaders also announced the creation of the Stakeholder Dialogue on North American Competitiveness. The new forum gives the private sector and non-governmental organizations a chance to contribute ideas on increasing competitiveness across the continent. On September 29, 2016, the Wilson Center hosted the first annual Stakeholder Dialogue. The talks focused on competitiveness, as well as energy and the environment. The participants included representatives from the Council on Foreign Relations, the George W. Bush Institute, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Exxon Mobil and Wal-Mart, along with various other groups. The meeting also produced a series of recommendations, which will help build the agenda for the next NALS. Some of the proposals put forth by the Stakeholder Dialogue could play an important role in reshaping NAFTA. If Trump goes ahead with plans to renegotiate the trade deal, the corporate elite will no doubt try to persuade him to make changes that will benefit them even more. In November 2016, the George W. Bush Institute released the policy paper, Investing in North American Competitiveness. It recommended establishing, a new North American border infrastructure bank to drive a market approach to planning, financing, and coordinating border projects. In addition, the Institute proposed expanding continental, access to common technical credentials for frontline work in manufacturing and logistics. The report noted that, Executing on these initiatives requires a commitment on the part of our three governments to sustain attention to a North American strategy for competitiveness, which itself requires a high-level commitment to regular North American Leaders Summits with structured follow-up. In order to achieve better results, the leaders have established a regular trilateral coordination process to ensure implementation of NALS commitments. During his presidency, George W. Bush pursued deeper North American ties through the Security and Prosperity Partnership. A week after the U.S. election, Bush delivered remarks at the North American Strategy for Competitiveness (NASCO) 2016 Continental Reunion. He took the opportunity to defend NAFTA and called for further strengthening economic and trade relations with Canada and Mexico. The Bush Institute also updated their North America Competitiveness Scorecard. Once again, North America was ranked as the worlds most competitive economic region. As part of efforts to counter negativity surrounding the NAFTA partnership, the Institute stated, Despite misguided rhetoric to the contrary, now is the time to reinforce our North American bond, not dissolve it. Keeping the NAFTA framework intact is an important part to the globalist agenda. After Brexit and Trumps election victory, the globalists have been busy regrouping. They are not about to just roll over quietly and are planning their next decisive move. A Clinton presidency would have been a continuation of the Obama administrations disastrous foreign policies and would have been especially favorable to their overall agenda. With the collapse of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the globalists have an opportunity to shift their focus to renegotiating and modernizing NAFTA as a way of further deepening North American integration. It is imperative that we continue to resist the mechanisms, which threaten our sovereignty. We need to guard against any attempts to incorporate the controversial elements of the TPP into a upgraded NAFTA.

You are so right, we must strengthen Canadian sovereignty and show the US it is not for sale at any price! then get rid of the liberal traitors in your government. Aye, cant we just be friends and trading partners with out having to integrate and hand over all the peoples sovereignty to a vicious pack of bankers and their corporate entourage? If not then NAFTA needs to be repealed and greater effort made to restore the peoples sovereignty over their land, air and waters and we can get back to just being friends and trading partners as the only real way forward if the people are to be of any consequence in the grand scheme. This is an area that the banker/globalists cant control. However, their control over our currency is an clear and present danger. 
3	U.S. Army course authorizes use of deadly force, internment camps during U.S. civil disturbanceMadison Ruppert, Contributor This likely comes as no surprise to readerswho are familiar with my work on the militarys Internment/Resettlement Operations manual (video is also embedded below), my coverage of the designation of civilian internee in military literature, my coverage of KBRs so-called National Quick Response Teams, and the FEMA National Responder Support Camps. However, this document (available HERE), originally published on July 6 by Public Intelligence, reveals some quite disturbing and clearly institutionalized practices which can and will be used in a time of civil unrest. It is important to note that this document specifically states: The same operational procedures that apply to the operation of installation confinement facilities [see above video] and treatment of detainees apply to these temporary facilities except that those policies and procedures establishing training, employment, mail and correspondence, and administrative discipline requirements will not apply. However, the course cites Field Manual (FM) 3-19.40, originally issued in August of 2001, which appears to be the earlier version of the FM 3-39.40, originally published in February of 2010. Obviously since this edition of the course is dated April 2006, FM 3-39.40 didnt exist at the time it was written. The Army will not operate facilities for confinement, custody, or detention of civilian personnel apprehended for violation of local or state laws as long as civil confinement facilities, operated by the Department of Justice, state, or local agencies are sufficient to accommodate the number of persons apprehended. Therefore, it appears to be the case that military detention facilities will not be used unless there are not sufficient facilities operated by the DOJ, state or local law enforcement. At least we can hope to be thrown in a dangerous, filthy, and overcrowded civil confinement facility instead of a military internment camp. If the military does set up detention facilities: These facilities will be operated only until custody of the persons detained can be transferred to and assumed by civil authorities. They will not be used for the confinement of persons charged or convicted under civil jurisdiction. However, this was written long before the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2012 and the indefinite detention sections included which allow the military to hold Americans without charge or trial indefinitely. These above guidelines have almost certainly been removed having been given this power when Obama signed the NDAA. While a judge indeed stepped up against the indefinite detention sections of the NDAA, I seriously doubt that this decision would be honored in a time when the military is actually rolled out to quell civil unrest. The course is designed for operations inside the continental United States (CONUS) or outside the continental United States (OCONUS) in cases of civil disturbances when the President is advised by the highest officials of the state that the situation cannot be controlled with nonfederal resources available. The control force, as these military police groups are referred to in the course, is mandated to help restore law and order and to help maintain it until such time as state and local forces can control the situation without federal help. In other words, there is no restriction in terms of how long these forces can remain in a given area helping restore law and order. The course clearly states that these soldiers will not just be used in subduing the disturbance which is what one might expect. Instead, they are actually going to be carrying out law enforcement activities. This is incredibly important because while the act of subduing the disturbance would, likely, be defensible under Posse Comitatus and the Insurrection Act, it is much harder to defend the military helping to detain those responsible for [the disturbance]. Speaking of the fact that, the control force may have to actively participate, not only in subduing the disturbance, but also in helping to detain those responsible for it, the course states that, Control force commanders are authorized and directed to provide such active participation, subject to restraints on the use of force. It appears that the law enforcement role of the military will be far from negligible seeing as, Commanders are authorized to use non-deadly force to control the disturbance, to prevent crimes, and to detain persons who have committed crimes; but the degree of force used must be not greater than that reasonably necessary under the circumstances. Of course, the degree of forced which is reasonably necessary under the circumstances is usually quite different in the eyes of the police and military compared to how the individuals actually receiving the non-deadly force see it. One of the most disturbing aspects of this course comes when they are dealing with the use of deadly force. Some of the policies regarding the use of deadly force which the military will observe are: give an order to halt, warning shot will not be fired, when a firearm is discharged it will be fired with the intent of rendering the person(s) at whom it is discharged incapable of continuing that activity or course of behavior prompting the individual to shoot, shot will be fired only with due regard for the safety of innocent bystanders and in the case of holstered weapons, a weapon should not be removed from the holster unless there is a reasonable expectation that use of the weapon may be necessary. You read that right; there will not be a warning shot. At least theyll tell you to halt before they make your face look like a watermelon dropped off a third story roof onto cement. The course outlines when deadly force is justified and gives the following circumstances, only one of which need be fulfilled. However, they do state, The use of deadly force is authorized only under conditions of extreme necessity and as a last resort when all lesser means have failed or cannot be reasonably be employed. The circumstances in which deadly force is justified are: (a) Self- defense and defense of others. When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to protect law enforcement or security personnel who reasonably believe themselves or others to be in imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm. (b) Assets involving national security. When deadly force reasonably appears necessary to prevent the actual theft or sabotage of assets vital to national security. DoD assets shall be specifically designated as vital to national security only when their loss, damage, or compromise would seriously jeopardize the fulfillment of a national defense mission. Examples include nuclear weapons; nuclear command, control, and communications facilities; and designated restricted area as containing strategic operational assets, sensitive codes, or special access programs. (c) Assets no involving [sic] national security but inherently dangerous to others. When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to prevent the actual theft or sabotage of resources, such as operable weapons or ammunition, that are inherently dangerous to others; i.e., assets that, in the hands of an unauthorized individual, present a substantial potential danger of death or serious bodily harm to others. Examples include high risk portable and lethal missiles, rockets, arms, ammunition, explosives, chemical agents, and special nuclear material. (d) Serious offenses against persons. When deadly force reasonably appears necessary to prevent the commission of a serious offense involving violence and threatening death or serious bodily harm. Examples include murder, armed robbery, and aggravated assault. (e) Arrest or apprehension. When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to arrest, apprehend, or prevent the escape of a person who, there is probably cause [sic] to believe, has committed an offense of the nature in (2) through (4) above. [It is unclear which offenses this is referring to specifically, although it seems that by (2) and (4) they might mean Enforce the laws of the United States and Protect federal property and functions. The (2) and (4) immediately above this section do not seem to be relevant.] (f) Escapes. When deadly force has been specifically authorized by the Heads of the DoD Components and reasonable appears to be necessary to prevent the escape of a prisoner, provided law enforcement or security personnel have probable cause to believe that the escaping prisoner poses a threat of serious bodily harm either to security personnel or others. The course delves into significant details, even getting into the specific lethal and non-lethal weapons to be used and how they will be used. The document even describes in detail the weapon carrying positions of safe-port arms which another military manual remarked, is quite effective when making a show of force. In this elevated position, bayonets can be seen by participants in the rear of the crowd. The sight of bayonets can create an impression of strength and numerical superiority. However, I guess we can we be thankful that the document states that the danger of intentional or accidental injury to demonstrators or fellow control force personnel prevents such use [of rifles with fixed bayonets] except with extremely violent crowds. The use of bayonets seems to be a mostly psychological weapon in terms of crowd control unless deadly force is being used since they note, The primary value of the rifle or the rifle with bayonet attached is the psychological impact on the crowd. Interestingly, it seems that marksmen who will be selected to fire upon Americans first will be chosen beforehand in order to groom them for being able to murder their fellow men and women. Fire by selected marksmen may be necessary under certain circumstances, explains the document. Marksmen should be pre-selected, trained, and thoroughly instructed. They may be placed on vehicles, in buildings, or elsewhere as required. The most disturbing description is probably that of full firepower which is described as the most severe measure of force that can be applied by Soldiers. Full firepower is that of available unit firepower with the intent of producing extensive casualties. This extreme measure would be used as a last resort only after all other measures have failed or obviously would be impractical, and the consequence of failure to completely subdue the crowd would be an imminent overthrow of the government, continued mass casualties, or similar grievous conditions. No stone is left unturned in this document, so if you have the time I recommend that you take it to explore all of what is divulged in order to best understand what powers the military already has at their fingertips.

1	The sacred covenant made between Abraham and the Hebrew god Yahweh expired Monday, setting off a fierce round of re-negotiations between Jewish representatives and God's legal counsel. Area Jews are hoping for a contract similar to the one made 6,000 years ago with the Lorda contract that not only made them Gods chosen people, but also included significant land incentives, most notably the Promised Land known today as Israel. 'If God thinks we are just going to roll over and re-sign, that's one deity that's got another thing coming,' said Hollywood superagent Mike Ovitz, who has been called in by the Jews to negotiate.

3	The U.S. Voted Biggest Threat to World Peace, Right According to PlanEric Blair Twenty-four percent of those polled in 60 nations said America was the greatest threat, dwarfing Pakistan who came in second with around 8%. Is this a surprise to anyone given the aggressive action of the U.S. military? Some would say this reaction was predictable, or even a desired outcome. The powers-that-be dont have allegiances to nations, they just want control over them. If we understand the globalist agenda to centralize power, America must be destroyed as a super power and brought under the control of a larger governing body like NATO or the UN. In order for that to occur, America must be viewed as the enemy of peace and human rights around the world. Mission accomplished, apparently. From this growing reaction we will see a solution presented shortly. In fact, global citizens may demand action against the U.S. if this continues. In July of last year, a human rights organization in America petitioned the United Nations in a letter of allegation to recognize that school closures in Chicago amount to human rights abuses. The group readily admits their intention is to have the U.N. influence U.S. policy. We believe that reaching out to the U.N. will draw international attention to this issue and hopefully encourage the United States government to take action, said University of Chicago law professor Sital Kalantry who penned the letter on behalf ofThe Midwest Coalition for Human Rights. We have already seen U.N. treaties that usurp sovereignty from the U.S. like the small arms ban overturning the Second Amendment, or the U.N. drug czar threatening America over marijuana legalizationdue to a drug war treaty, or the multitude of economic treaties that force choking regulations on small businesses. Ultimately the examples provided above are small potatoes compared to a global call to oppose or even confront the U.S. military which is conceivably one of the solutions to imperial warmaking. Is it still a conspiracy theory to think U.N. Peacekeepers will engage the U.S.? It can never go that far, right? Well, anti-America perception is only likely to grow larger and louder. Even anti-war blogs like this one contribute to it merely by publishing Americas crimes against humanity. In this way, the alternative media is being used by the agenda as an echo chamber for anti-American content. As honest, pro-peace and human rights media, we propagate this agenda whether we want to admit it or not. Yet, we must remember that the American military has almost always been the tool of a larger power and certainly does not have the consent of the people. Recent polls showed the lowest support on record for any U.S. war in history for the Afghanistan war: This was also evident when the U.S.s aggressive posturing toward Syria was smacked down by a loud and angry population. Hopefully this showed the world where Americans really stand on these military excursions. Unfortunately most people cant separate U.S. military action from their perception of America. Theyve been conditioned to blame a collective for the actions done under a flag. The perception of America as a tyrannical state will likely increase (because thats what its actually become) until the world demands, no begs, for some outside authority to intervene.

3	Bradley Manning: A Window Into The American SoulPaul Craig Roberts, Contributor Today the emphasis needs to be on the Constitutions domestic enemies in our own government. Americas foreign enemies are miniscule. But the domestic enemies are legion. Americas enemies consist, with whistleblower exceptions, of the entire US government, both executive branch, legislative branch (with possibly a dozen exceptions), and judicial branch (with few exceptions). The three branches of our government have united to destroy US civil liberties in the name of a hoax, the war on terror. Even if the US were overrun with terrorists, how could they harm us more than our government has harmed us by destroying the US Constitution? If you dont believe that the US Constitution has been destroyed by Republicans and Democrats alike, read my book coauthored with Lawrence M. Stratton, The Tyranny Of Good Intentions, and the five articles whose URLs are provided below. Bradley Manning, a member of the US military, complied with his oath of office, with the US Military Code, with the Nuremberg standards set by the US government, with the strictures expressed by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the George W, Bush administration, and with his own conscience. Manning, allegedly (we will never know), released to WikiLeaks the video of the US military murdering two journalists and a dozen innocent people walking down a street. (Source) The murderers then blame the father for bringing children into the combat zone created by the incompetence or evil of the US troops, who obviously get their jollies from murdering people. TV cameras are claimed to be weapons and justifications for murdering 15 people. Subsequently, a few people, whom the video shows to be unarmed, walk into a building. The US troops claim the unarmed people have weapons and RPGs and send three hellfire missiles into the building. The US troops then report that all the targets are dead. Any real patriotic American who saw this video would be compelled to release it. If Manning released it to WikiLeaks, then Manning is the most morally responsible American alive. What has Mannings moral conscience cost him? It has cost Manning 900 days held incommunicado illegally by the US government. President John F. Kennedys presidency lasted 1,000 days. Manning was held and tortured for almost the entire length of Camelot. And the US government has got away with it. Americans dont care. It is not them. They are too stupid to understand that once law is gone, they can be next. In their desire to punish Manning, US military and civilian authorities failed to realize that the lesson for soldiers is that crimes against humanity will not be punished, but those who reveal the crimes will be punished. On November 29 Bradley Manning testified in federal court about his illegal confinement and torture by the US government. Mannings testimony was not covered by the US media. The New York Times, in Chris Floyds words, contented itself with a brief bit of wire copy from AP, tucked away on page 3. In contrast, the British Guardian covered Mannings testimony in detail in two stories 68 paragraphs long. The British people are informed of the US governments crimes against humanity in violation of international law and US law, but not the American people. A formal United Nations investigations into the illegal, brutal and inhuman treatment of Bradley Manning denounced his treatment as cruel and inhuman. The US State Department spokesman, Col. P.J. Crowley, resigned after publicly protesting Mannings illegal and inhuman treatment by the US government. The presstitute media was silent. Glenn Greenwald, the constitutional attorney, concludes that the US establishment journalists have enabled the government every step of the way. The presstitutes hold themselves out as adversarial watchdogs, but nothing provokes their animosity more than someone who effectively challenges government actions. The window into Americas political soul reveals total evil. The US government constitutes Satans Chosen People. Nothing else can be said for those who rule and oppress us. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article33193.htm RELATED ACTIVIST POST ARTICLE: This article first appeared at Paul Craig Roberts new website Institute For Political Economy.

Meanwhile, anti-Muslim protestors stood outside Kennesaw city Hall. According to reports, the local Islamic group had agreed to a series of limitations that the Kennesaw city attorney had requested of them, including limiting their presence to 80 worshipers at a time, and a limited two-year lease. The issue at hand has to do with the hours and days of the week that [the mosque] will be open from my perspective, Mayor Matthews claimed in an interview with The Marietta Daily Journal. City Council Member Cris Eaton-Welsh voted in favor of the Muslim group, but all four remaining members voted against. Each application is considered on its own merits and precedence does not come into consideration in my opinion, Matthews continued. According to the groups lawyer, Doug Dillard, it is likely the group may have to sue the City of Kennesaw in federal court. Many believe that the decision has less to do with the times that the mosque would be open than the violent nature of the religion. What do you think? Would you allow a mosque to be built in your town?

1	With great regret, we wish to inform you of the death of selfnews News Network international reporter Susan Merriweather. Susan, who started at the selfnews News Network as Today Now's denim correspondent in 2002 and worked her way up to become one of the network's most attractive international reporters, was killed by Taliban militants today in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Despite the tragic circumstances of her death, we at the selfnews News Network choose to remember Susan as she was: perpetually camera-ready. Never without some teeth-whitening strips or an extra eyelash-lengthening vitamin E supplement, Susan was truly a television reporter's television reporter. Endlessly selfless, Susan was always the first to tell you if you looked tired or needed to lose a few pounds. Though in the hours leading up to her death she looked more like a member of what she called 'the unbathing horde' than herself, we will always remember her as the stunning news-reader that she was. -->--> Susan is survived by her manicurist Maria Cathcart and her Pomeranian dog Barkles.

2	Teen Gets Sweet Revenge On Atheists Who Punish Him For Reciting Pledge Of Allegiance According to recent reports, New Jersey high school student Samantha Jones has taken it upon herself to stop the American Humanist Association (AHA) from stripping students of their rights to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Reportedly, the group is attempting to stop the recitation from all public schools, claiming that the phrase under God needs to be removed from the pledge. If anyone wants to remain silent, that is their right. But it is not their right to silence me, Jones told the public in a statement. When I stand up, I put my hand over my heart and say the Pledge of Allegiance, I am recognizing that my rights come from God, not from the government. Samanthas parents have stood behind their daughter in her fight, and are working with the Knights of Columbus to keep the Allegiance in schools. The family is also being represented by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. The Pledge is not a religious creed or prayer, claims Kristina Arriaga of the legal organization. It is a statement of our nations political philosophy that rights come not from the state but from something higher. We are confident that the court will uphold the right to say the Pledge in its entirety. What do you think? Do you support Samantha? 
2	BREAKING: Obama Has Been CENSORING FOX... They Need Support According to breaking new reports, the State Department has actually admitted to intentionally deleting part of a recorded news briefing regarding a question about U.S. negotiations with Iran posed by James Rosen of Fox News. This is a vast departure from the State Departments previous statement, which called the missing segment a glitch. You got that right, the State Department has admitted to lying to the public and censoring the press. A specific request was made to excise that portion of the briefing, State Department Spokesperson John Kirby confirmed on Wednesday. We do not know who made the request to edit the video or why it was made. Still, the fact remains that they did it anyway. The briefing was recorded in December 2013, and was made public on the State Departments YouTube account without the important question from Rosen. Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com In the past, Kirby maintained that a complete recording had been posted and that the transcript was unedited. A legal adviser reviewed the case and commented that it was clear that the omission was not accidental. What do you think? Is Kirbys apology too little too late?

2	Liberals Are Going After Taya Kyle Because Of This Controversial Video That Just Leaked Recently, the Wyoming hunt, filmed in partnership with gun maker Weatherby, captured Taya Kyle reflecting on the influence that her late husband Chris and the movie American Sniper based on his story has had on her life. During the interview, Taya was filmed on a Wyoming hunting trip, where she was looking for pronghorn antelopes in honor of Chris. His life, his huntingthat was him from the time he was a little boy, Taya claims. That was him being out in nature. That was him finding his peace. That was him providing meat for the family. It was his moment to get out of the stress. It was a really big thing in his life. Taya has also been active in promoting the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation, and even spoke at the National Rifle Association convention in 2013. The recent Weatherby video was posted the same day that American Sniper was released. I have a very different perspective on hunting because I know that peaceful side, Taya concludes. And the more I do it, the more I fall in love with it. It is very beautiful, its peaceful, its nature at its best. The video shows the widow shooting at several antelope, and successfully killing at least one Shes also shown wearing her husbands dog tags. I do believe that Chris was with me, Taya says, beginning to cry. This hunt, I feel like hes always with me, but sometimes more strongly than others. I feel that hes proud, I feel that hes happy, I feel like he has more answers than I do, so while theres a part of me that has some regrets that we didnt have more time or didnt take more time to do this, I also know we did the best we couldits not the same but I know hes with me. What do you think of the controversial video? Do you support Taya Kyle? 
1	According to a World Wildlife Fund study released Monday, stuffed-animal biodiversity is rapidly rising, with the number of species available in plush form up nearly 800 percent since 1990. A rich spectrum of stuffed animal life is found under a leafy canopy in New York's FAO Schwarz. 'While the number of living species continues to plummet, the exact opposite is true of their toy counterparts,' WWF director Ruth Aberg said. 'This is particularly true in America, where polyester-fiber-filled replicas of even the most endangered species can be found in glorious abundance.' According to the WWF report, 885 animal species are in danger of extinction worldwide, and another 165 are classified as threatened. Of these 1,050 at-risk species, however, an estimated 970 can be found in mass quantities in children's toy boxes and on collectors' shelves. Stuffed-animal biodiversity, Aberg said, has not always been so robust. Ten years ago, the number of species produced by toy manufacturers was 'abysmally low,' mainly restricted to North American wildlife and a few select jungle animals. The past decade, however, has seen a proliferation of all manner of synthetic fauna. 'There are an estimated 41,000 species of vertebrates on Earth, yet until recently, only a small handful were available for purchasetigers, bears, lions, penguins, giraffes, and perhaps an owl or a duck,' Aberg said. 'Even then, only the most common species within a particular genus was represented. In the case of bears, for example, you'd have the brown bear, but rarely the polar bear and never the sun bear or sloth bear.' Today, by contrast, consumers regularly encounter river otters, hedgehogs, hammerhead sharks, warthogs, capybaras, opossums, tarantulas, and rare caimans found only in remote regions of the Amazon. 'Look at sea turtles, a species rapidly disappearing due to pollution and poaching,' Aberg said. 'Several years ago, EcoToys Inc. introduced Sam The Super Sea Turtle, a green turtle, or Chelonia mydas, complete with a tag describing its natural habitat and status as an endangered species. It was so well-received that the company then introduced Louie The Loggerhead, a large-headed, brownish-red turtle better known as Caretta caretta. That, in turn, was followed up with Lepidochelys kempi, a small, gray Atlantic ridley named Bo Ridley. Store shelves that were once devoid of sea turtles are now teeming with all manner of them.' Stuffed Animal Chart The rise in stuffed-animal biodiversity, experts say, has been made possible by humans' growing interest in environmental issues: Science-themed toy stores have popped up in malls across the nation. Entire shelves of such retail giants as Toys 'R' Us are devoted to animals from around the world. Beanie Baby manufacturer Ty can barely keep up with consumer demand for plush biodiversity. Wild Republic, a major manufacturer of stuffed animals, produces more than 100 species of animals, including Halima The Snow Leopard, Brunei The Probiscus Monkey, and Adoncia The Poison Dart Frog. Several of the company's more popular species are also available as backpacks. 'As rainforests continue to disappear at a rate of one and a half acres every second, I thought there was no hope for the leopard frog,' Sierra Club associate director Dianne Wilmot said. 'But Wild Republic just announced there will 5,000 more Rana pipiens in existence by Christmas. A walk through the aisles of any toy store reveals what a diverse world we used to live in.' While Wilmot is encouraged by the stuffed-animal boom, some see cause for alarm. 'The number of species is rising way too quickly,' said South Bend, IN, wildlife enthusiast Wendy Elias. 'I wanted to get all the animals in the Jack Hanna collection: They're so cute, and I knew I could give them a good home. But they keep introducing new ones faster than I can make shelf space. My husband will absolutely kill me if I bring another one home.' Manufacturers, however, do not regard overpopulation as a threat. 'We have a plan, should the animals on store shelves become too numerous,' said Adrian Rohn, a spokesman for Wild Republic. 'We will simply employ a systematic reduction of prices to encourage bargain hunters to thin the herd.'

1	The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation went on a wild endowment binge last weekend, recklessly giving away more than $170 million in grants and fellowships in a 48-hour span. Fanton and Hutton in the midst of their wild endowing spree. 'We got pretty out of control there with the endowing,' said foundation president Jonathon Fanton, icing down his check-writing hand while recovering Monday. 'It started Friday afternoon, when [Vice President and Chief Financial Officer] Lyn [Hutton] suggested we give a grant to the Foundation for Urban Renewal for their tireless efforts to rebuild America's struggling inner cities. Then, [Treasurer] Marc [Yanchura] said Save Our Cities was doing even better work, so we threw them on the pile, too. Things kind of snowballed from there, and by 4 a.m., we'd given $81 million in grants to 16 different groups. I think we even gave a few million to [rival philanthropic organization] Pew Charitable Trusts.' After a brief pause Saturday afternoon, the endowing resumed. The generous support of nonprofit activities in the arts and culture, education, the environment, health and human services, and public policy continued deep into the night. 'Saturday, around 3 p.m., we all went out for breakfast. Over eggs and Bloody Marys, we talked about the night before and how crazy we'd gotten,' Fanton said. 'But when the sun went down that night, we started right back up again with the endowing. Mostly to public radio networks under the General Program, but also 20 or 30 theater companies and a shitload of PBS fellowships. Half the people who've ever appeared on Sesame Street are MacArthur Fellows now.' While the bulk of the money went to groups falling under the foundation's Program on Human and Community Development, a considerable portion went to less noble causes, including the 3-2-1 Contact Preservation Society and the Recumbent Bicycling Hall Of Fame. 'At the time, it felt like the right thing to do,' Fanton said of the binge. 'It wasn't until we woke up Sunday morning that we were like, 'Holy shit... how much did we endow this weekend?'' According to Vice-Chairman Elizabeth McCormack, the endowment binge is a result of the foundation's low self-esteem. 'It seems like the only time we feel good is when we're awarding endowments,' McCormack said. 'The pain and pressures of the outside world vanish, and it's as though you and the beneficiary are all that exist. That's a tough high to come down from. Deep down, we knew it was reckless, but we kept making rationalizations like, 'Well, the Program on Global Security and Sustainability is of heightened importance during this crossroads moment in world history.'' McCormack's concern was echoed by experts in the field of grant-writing. 'When the stress of operating a charitable foundation gets to be too much, the urge to endow often takes control, overriding all logic and common sense,' said Martin Wingreen, author of Giving Their All: The Secret Shame Of Compulsive Philanthropy. 'Under the sway of such an intense sensation, the grant giver just can't resist funding every non-profit in sight.' Acknowledging that his group 'has a problem,' Fanton pledged that the foundation's Board of Directors would seek endowment counseling and join a philanthropy-addiction support group. 'After hearing about our endowment binge, the chair of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation gave me a really encouraging phone call, saying they'd gone through the same thing in the '80s,' Fanton said. 'He said they eventually learned not just to think about world betterment, but also to take time for themselves, and that was their turning point. Now, they're a solvent and robust organization again. I really needed to hear that.' 'As a charitable foundation, we can do a lot of good in the world,' Fanton added. 'We just need to make sure not to do too much good at once.' 
2	Results Are In For Who Won Iowa The results from the Iowa caucus are in, and for the first time since his campaign started, Donald Trump is not the frontrunner. Of course, he comes in second place, which isnt bad considering he skipped out on the last debate. Yesterday, Fox News declared Ted Cruz as the winner. When 84% of the votes had been reported, Cruz was leading with 27.7% of the vote, and Trump came in at 24.4%. The second runner-up was Marco Rubio, who surprised critics by bringing in 23% of the vote. Its looking more and more like Cruz could take the leading position, which makes the stakes higher for Trump in New Hampshire. Who do you think will take the election? Do we need a strong leader to make sure that Hillary Clinton stays far away from the White House? 
1	Sabra Hummus blasted rival Cedar's Hummus Monday for lacking the ability, competence, and texture that Americans deserve from their hummus. 'People of this country don't want some flash-in-the-pan hummus,' said Sabra chairman Yehuda Pearl, adding that Sabra's strong coalition of mashed up chickpeas, sesame tahini, lemon juice, and garlic is virtually unbeatable. 'When it's 3 a.m., which hummus do Americans trust for their pita chipdipping? Some new hummus that makes a lot of promises about taste, or a hummus with over 20 years experience serving the American people?' Critics of both brands say that Sabra and Cedar's are essentially the same, offering citizens no difference in flavor, protein content, and quality. 
3	Missouri House Bans Warrantless Drone Spyingselfnews Post HB1204, the Preserving Freedom from Unwarranted Surveillance Act, would ban law enforcement agencies in Missouri from using a drone or other unmanned aircraft to gather evidence or other information pertaining to criminal conduct or conduct in violation of a statute or regulation except to the extent authorized in a warrant. Information obtained in violation of the act would be inadmissible as evidence in a criminal proceeding in any court of law in the state or in an administrative hearing. Sovereign immunity would also be waived for such violations, meaning the state could be sued by individuals to recover damages. The legislation fully prohibits drone use by government with just a few exceptions. These include a duly issued warrant and emergency situations such as fires and search and rescue operations. In short, daily, general use of drones by government in Missouri would be stopped. In fact, the federal government serves as the primary engine behind the expansion of drone surveillance carried out by states and local communities. The Department of Homeland Security issues large grants to local governments so they can purchase drones. Those grants, in and of themselves, represent an unconstitutional expansion of power. The goal? Fund a network of drones around the country and put the operational burden on the states. Once they create a web over the whole country, DHS steps in with requests for information sharing. Bills like these put a dent in this kind of long-term strategy. Without the states and local communities operating the drones today, its going to be nearly impossible for DHS plans to take off.

3	Love It or Leave ItSARTRE Now with the undying War on Terror as the trumped up cornerstone of government survival, the same old party line of jingoism rises again to smear any opposition of the all mighty war machine. The following is written by a student, Alex Bertsch, not back in the 1960s but this year. I cant question the actions of the military without being anti-American. I cant question events like the My Lai Massacre, in which U.S. Army soldiers killed between 347 and 504 unarmed civilians in Vietnam, with virtually no punishment. I am barely allowed to question the Haditha Killings, in which U.S. Marines killed 24 civilians in 2006. Questioning these atrocities would be un-American. Start with a review of the violent history of our species and especially the involvements from our own country in its short existence. In the lifetime of the eldest living Americans, the Major Military Operations Since World War II gives a summary of the largest involvements. For a more comprehensive analysis of American conflicts, Were at War! And We Have Been Since 1776: 214 Years of American War-Making, provides an exhaustive list. If the goal is to build a global empire, all these campaigns fit a pattern of design and intention. But is this the true purpose of our founding as a nation? When John Milton Hay Secretary of State coined the phrase, A Splendid Little War Whose War Is It? he must have known that expansion to form an intercontinental realm was put irrepressibly in motion. This NeoConservative philosophy is pure Internationalism in its most raw form. It is the antithesis of traditional American policy, and attempts to foster a new imperialism that is totally out of step and discredited by civilized societies. The portrait of the Ugly American is one that needs to be relegated to the scrap heap of embarrassed memories. Regretfully, the entire last hundred years, billed as the American century, just continued an imperialism that kicked off with the Spanish American War. This foreign policy never made the world safe for some mythical Democracy, but actually set forth a domination culture of rhetoric and force that fostered the economic corporatist interests, protected by garrison outposts scattered around the world. So what sleight of hand or mental hypnosis keeps the gullible public from facing up to the indisputable facts that all these oversea adventures actually destroy our countrys real security? Libertarian Jacob G. Hornberger makes a striking argument in THE TROOPS ARE DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY that help answers this question. This viewpoint goes directly to de-constructing the silly blind faith that the Puddnhead flag wavers keep following with every additional failed overseas venture. The mindset that is common to U.S. troops serving overseas is that they are all doing it for America, for us, for our rights and freedoms, for our safety and security. Theyll all tell you that they are doing it because they love their country. Theres one big problem with that mindset, however. The truth is that the troops, through what theyre doing over there, are indirectly destroying our country, our rights and freedoms, our safety and security, and our economic well-being. Once again, the justification is to keep us safe. Safe from what? From the people over there who are angry over what the troops are doing over there. The more people the troops kill and maim, the angrier people get, the greater the threat of terrorist retaliation, the greater the need to keep us safe, and the greater the infringements on our freedom and well-being. The troops have convinced themselves that theyre over there killing the people who would otherwise be coming over here to kill us. Thats ridiculous. If people wanted to come over here to kill us, they could easily circumvent the troops and come over here and kill us. With the open border approach in effect, the long forgotten Monroe Doctrine exempts the refugees from our hemisphere from colonizing our own land. Such acts of aggression go unpunished, while deploying foreign legions around the rest of the globe is defended as necessary. Wake up America! Where is the common sense to ignore the pontifications of government authorities and trained seal newspeak propagandists? Celebrating the gallantry of a Navy SEAL psychopath assassin like Chris Kyle defies the most rudimentary sense of moral scrutiny, even if one wants to argue the just war theorem. However, if you candidly research the covert connections in the creation, funding and training of the mythical terrorism threats, the conclusion will adopt the undeniable linkage to Western governments hidden hand behind the scenes. Ken OKeefe, a former US Marine discusses Washingtons major role in either generating or aggravating most of the current crises across the world and allowing groups like the ISIL Takfiri terrorists to foster and grow in the video US can no longer deny its support for ISIL. Much has been written about how the world has changed after 9-11. The three videos on 911 a saga of deceit and lies goe unanswered because the facts presented have no legitimate counter by the establishment warmongers. Chicken hawks, like Senator Lindsey Graham that routinely spread their drivel on Faux News are reprehensible. When his patron oracle Senator John McCain spills his vile indignation, the pompous faithful of the permanent warfare society rally round his banner. The Zero Hedge article asks important questions, 59% Of Americans Support Post-9/11 Torture Propaganda, Cultural Sickness, Or Both? The way you answer directly reflects your attitude about the supposed War on Terror. Whatever it takes to keep the homeland safe never includes questioning the factual circumstances that reveal the false flag nature, used for the phony justification to build a domestic police state. There is no place for the Truth Movement in the realm of the NeoCon right-thinking camp. One such Kool-Aid dispenser in the deadly disease of disinformation is Cliff Kincaid. His article, Lies of the 9/11 Truth Movement, published in Accuracy in Media is a classic in denial. The inside job theory of 9/11 is appealing to those holding a Marxist or anti-Semitic view that American foreign policy is secretly manipulated by imperialist or Zionist agents. On other occasions, the puppet-masters are global elites or members of secret clubs. These theories preclude serious thinking about why America is under attack and by whom. Facts and evidence dont matter when a theory about sinister secret agents with no names makes more sense. Paleo-conservatives are the genuine voice of authentic conservatism. The Love It or Leave It crowds of paper mache sword-waving jingoists who purport to be patriots are committed internationalists in the advancement of an American Empire. Their bellicose and warmongering mindset is no formula for genuine patriotism. More Liberty Now concludes and asks a question that few dare to confront. Love it or leave it admits that the government is a monopoly that claims ownership of us all. This ultimatum is not compatible with free market beliefs. It advocates settling for mediocrity and a monopoly. Worst of all, its a false choice since the very government we are urged to love will not allow anyone to leave its jurisdiction. That doesnt fit within any definition of patriotic Im aware of. Does it fit yours? People are so dumbed down about true national security since 911 and gleefully boast and demonstrate their pride in stupidity. Hypocrites who refuse to face reality about their government and foreign policy wickedness, while pretending to be champions of American principles, are mentally ill betrayers. Amerika is in a death spiral because denial is the new national anthem, sung to the tune of THE BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC, for an American nation that no longer exists.

2	Black Lives Matter Thug Takes Woman Hostage, So Texas Police Do THIS While the mainstream media focuses its attention solely on a one sided-story, black on white violence in this country continues to escalate. The latest incident involves Black Lives Matter support Christopher Dew, who robbed a check cashing business in Texas and took a young, white female hostage. The robbery suspect was shot and killed by Texas Police after holding a woman hostage. The incident was caught on a cell phone video, which has been released to the public. The footage shows the hostage situation unfold in a parking lot in a minutes-long stand-off that ultimately results in gunfire. An employee of the nearby Comfy Furniture witnessed the scene from the shop. According to an officer on the scene, the suspect violently grabbed a female hostage and yelled that he would kill her. He then worked his way around the side of the building and tried to force her into his car. Ultimately, officers were forced to pull the trigger. Police spokesperson James McLellan told CBS that the hostage was grateful they were able to intervene. What do you think of these reports? 
3	No One Will Hold Henry Kissinger AccountableThe skullduggery of Henry Kissinger is well known, but little has been done about it. As the unofficial envoy of the Rockefeller Empire and a member of the Bilderberg Group, the Council on Foreign Relations, Aspen Institute, Bohemian Grove, Trilateral Commission, etc., Kissinger is at the heart of the power structure and closely tied to many underhanded deeds as well as big plays for global power. As National Security Advisor under presidents Nixon and Ford, and for a time also concurrently Secretary of State under the same presidents, Kissinger wielded enormous power and effectively operated on behalf of the shadow government agenda often over the presidents head. Informally, he has continued shaping policy as a top advisor to numerous high-level figures, including presidents and cabinet members, since his official time in office during the 1970s. The case for war crimes and crimes against humanity outlined by Christopher Hitchens (including killing as many as half a million civilians in the secret bombings of Laos and Cambodia during the Vietnam War), as well as his participation in various assassinations, coups and destabilization efforts throughout the world contrast sharply with his status as arecipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, ostensibly for negotiating the withdrawal of American forces in Vietnam (as dubious and hypocritical as the prize has proven to be). Moreover, via National Security Study Memorandum NSSM 200, Henry Kissinger made it official U.S. foreign policy to underwrite forcible depopulation and outright genocide in the developing world, including recommendations to use food as a weapon (including withholding food aid to induce compliance with global population targets). The implications of this ongoing policy are both staggering and far-reaching. He readily skirts any attempts, as the one made in 2011 during the Bilderberg conference in Switzerland, to bring him to justice. Unofficially, he remains diplomatically above the law. With little exception, none dare pursue the U.S. diplomat, while the establishment cadre of media and politico figures continue to fawn over him like a patron saint. With that in mind, the evergreen activist Luke Rudkowski, founder of We Are Change.org, brought frank and uncomfortable questions to Kissinger yet again, for the third time, during an award ceremony in his honor. After sycophantic pageantry, including Gen. Petraeus sickeningly referring to Kissinger as his hero and kissing him, Rudkowski approached Kissinger during a dinner break, shaking a team of media handlers who were attempting to control the event. Henry Kissingers only response, as in previous confrontations, was an ad hominem attack on the messenger of questions that many have raised but few have brought to his face. Projecting his own wormy disposition, Kissinger called Luke a coward repeatedly, as he himself refused to acknowledge or answer any of several questions concerning war crimes, the Bilderberg group and statements of admitted criminal behavior (as released by WikiLeaks in the Kissinger Cables). Rudkowski, who has amassed the nerve to repeatedly confront him and hundreds of other world leaders, is of course anything but a coward and Kissinger, undoubtedly, fully grasped that fact. Previously, Kissinger has called him a sick person and told him to go to hell. More projecting about his own twisted life Im sure WikiLeaks highlighted this telling quote from Kissinger which appeared in a transcript: Clearly, while Kissinger is comfortable presiding over death and destabilization, war and nuclear threats, he is very much the coward, preferring the cover of darkness, shadow and the closed door that invariably goes hand in hand with both diplomacy and conspiracy. Bravo to those bold enough to call his bluff and far too much bullshit. AARON DYKESis a co-founder of TruthstreamMedia.com, where this article first appeared.

1	Avid baseball fan Richard Keltner was surprised and delighted to find an entire website devoted to the sport of baseball, the 28-year-old data-entry clerk reported Monday. 'The other day, on a whim, I typed 'baseball' into an online search engine to see if anything would come up, and lo and behold, the first result was this site called MLB.com,' Keltner told reporters. 'It has news stories about baseball, baseball scores, baseball standings, baseball schedules, baseball statistics, baseball rostersliterally everything on the site deals with the sport of baseball. And you're never going to believe thisthey update it all the time.' Keltner said that an additional search for other baseball-themed sites yielded only something called ESPN.com, which he described as a website about advertising. 
2	Lowes Is Fighting Islamic Propaganda, So Liberals Do THIS Not surprisingly, ratings have dropped dramatically for The Learning Channels reality show All-American Muslim. Now, the biggest advertisers on the show, Lowes, has decided to pull their investment. Now, after hearing the news, the left has decided to launch an attack on the store. According to California Senator Ted Lieu, Lowes move was bigoted, shameful and un-American. Also speaking out is the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Meanwhile, the company has received support from the Florida Family Association and other conservative groups. All-American Muslim represents propaganda that riskily hides the Islamic agendas clear and present danger to American liberties and traditional values, the group told CNN. What do you think? Do you support Lowes in their move away from supporting the show? Do you hope this show is taken off of the air? 
1	Astronomer Discovers Center Of The Universe PASADENA, CACalifornia Institute of Technology astronomer Dr. James Shrifkin stunned the scientific and space-exploration communities Tuesday, when he announced that the center of the known universe is his 9-year-old son Brian. 'The universe revolves around him,' Shrifkin told colleagues at the annual American Society Of Astronomers convention at Cal Tech. 'He is the most precious and wonderful child in all known creation.' Shrifkin said he first suspected that Brian, a straight-A student at Lakeside Elementary School, is the center of the universe last Saturday, when he scored three goals in his soccer game. Brian Shrifkin, center of the known universe. 'After the game, I went home and thought about the many quantifiable properties of goodness my son possesses, including kindness, generosity and intelligence,' Shrifkin said. 'Formulating a rough Briancentric theory of space and time, I then collected more evidence, including the beautiful card he bought me last Father's Day and his spelling-bee trophy. The more data I had, the more apparent it became that my own son is the elusive center of the universe for which science has long searched.' According to Shrifkin, at the moment of the Big Bang, a swirling, primordial cloud of emBrianic matter existed at the center of what would eventually become the universe. As the explosion settled and galaxies formed, Brian remained in the center, where laws of physics originating within him dictated the development of space as we know it. 'Primary data indicates that Brian is a spatial hub around which all other activity revolves,' an excited, proud Shrifkin told reporters yesterday. 'Pulsars, black holes, and even the daily activities of myself and my wife Joan are merely 'fringe' events that occur in the remote, soupy mass of the outer universe, millions of light years removed from the truly important events, such as Brian's Little League home runs and science-fair victories.' Brian emits such a powerful field of gravity and significance, Shrifkin said, that persons and objects take on added significance by virtue of their proximity to him. As an example of this phenomenon, Shrifkin cited Brian's classmate Josh Alder. 'The moment Brian first met Adler, it became important to know if this was a nice boy or just some punk his mother and I felt he should steer clear of,' he said. 'Such information was of zero consequence before he entered Brian's sensitive event horizon.' Shrifkin concluded by calling upon Cal Tech to establish a new Department of Brian Physics, with himself as department head. 'My vast expertise on the details and history of Brian make me the ideal candidate to lead this new branch of science,' he said. 'For example, I can tell you every grade on every report card Brian has ever received, from kindergarten to the present. Go on, ask me.' 
3	Cop Shoots Elderly Man Reaching For CaneBrandon Turbeville The victim, 70-year-old Bobby Canipe, was, of course, not reaching for a rifle but for his cane which he kept in the bed of the truck. The shooting occurred when Canipe was pulled over by Deputy Knox due to an expired license plate on Tuesday evening. Deputies claim that Canipe got out of the vehicle and reached into the back of his truck, which is when fear overtook Deputy Knox. Knox then fired not one but several shots at Canipe, hitting him once. Fortunately, Canipe is expected to recover. Trent Faris, official spokesman of the York County Sheriffs Office stated that the shooting was unfortunate but appeared to be appropriate because Knox felt an imminent threat to his life, according to the Associated Press. Deputy Knox has since been placed on paid vacation, also known as paid leave, while the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division investigates the incident and does whatever it can to blame the victim and eliminate any legitimacy to claims of wrongdoing on the part of the fearless deputy. Still, if an old man with a cane represents a situation in which such violent panic must take place on the part of the Deputy, perhaps he should find a career that does not frighten him so much? Although police work itself is not as dangerous as media outlets and Law Enforcement agencies would have us believe, Deputy Knox would clearly be suited to a profession that does not involve real responsibility, a requirement to make quick decisions, or, obviously, the slightest bit of courage. Of course, it is no surprise that the Sheriffs Office is defending the excessive and irrational force used by Deputy Knox. What is missing, however, is the full application of the logic used to do so. If Deputy Knox is justified in shooting elderly disabled men because he concocts a scenario in which the man may be reaching for a rifle, then does it rightly follow that the American people are justified in firing shots at armed individuals who are part of an organization that is responsible for more American deaths than the war in Iraq? It is all but certain that such logic will not be followed through in the same manner for the general public in which it is followed through for law enforcement personnel. All sarcasm aside, first responders such as police and sheriffs departments are supposed to be trained to deal with emergency situations in a professional and appropriate manner. However, if these first responders are to carry weapons, their job duties are all the more serious in nature. Thus, as in careers such as emergency medical technicians and surgeons etc., there is no room for errors when those weapons are discharged. A simple Oops or Im sorry simply doesnt cut it. In the new American police state, however, even a mere apology is most unlikely. Recently by Brandon Turbeville: Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

2	Glenn Beck Literally Begs For Forgiveness After Trump Lays Down The Hammer Rumors have been spreading that Donald Trump Voted for Obama in the 2008 or 2012 election. This rumor originated from a tweet of Trump congratulating Obama after his victory. The thing is, Glenn Beck is the one responsible for this blowing up. And whats even more twisted is that the tweet that Glenn Beck thought was Donald Trump, turns out to have been a fake. Now Beck is crawling back over to Trump to apologize. 10;m Saturday Update: my apologies for the misinformation. I will always lead with my mistakes. It does appear this to be fake. My fault for not checking it far enough myself. I take complete responsibility for this error Beck said. He continued, I owe Donald Trump an apology for the error of this tweet. More importantly I owe you an apology for making the water muddy where the water is crystal clear on his record. It seems that whenever someone tries to mess with Trump, it backfires. That is certainly the case here. Do you support Donald Trump for president? 
3	Palestinian Childrens Day 2014Stephen Lendman It was established to encourage all countries to institute a day. It urged doing so to promote mutual exchange and understanding for childrens rights. It was done to promote child welfare worldwide. On November 20, 1958, UN members adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child. On November 20, 1989, the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) became law. Universal Childrens Day is commemorated on other days. Many countries do so on June 1. Its done to create awareness about violence, exploitation, discrimination, and other abuses affecting children. Theyre horrific. Theyre rampant worldwide. They occur virtually everywhere. Theyre mostly below the radar. Children are among societies most vulnerable. Theyre used as chattel and other forms of labor. They recruited as combatants. Theyre sexually abused. Theyre harmed in many other ways. Many are too young to resist. Abuse is a universal problem. Its getting worse, not better. Palestinians commemorate Childrens Day on April 5. Ahead of this years commemoration, Defense for Children International (DCI) released data revealing Israeli brutality. Nearly 700 Palestinian children aged 12 to 17 are detained annually. Theyre held under horrific conditions. They isolated. Theyre threatened. Theyre terrorized. Theyre harshly interrogated. Theyre forced to confess to crimes they didnt commit. Or ones too minor to matter. In February, 230 children below age 18 languished in Israels gulag. Israeli security forces murdered others in cold blood. Some are shot in the back. None posed threats. Cruel and inhuman treatment defines official Israeli policy. Young children suffer most of all. Many become traumatized. Theyre affected longterm. Some never recover. None forget. Many never forgive. Israeli security forces systematically murder them in cold blood. Others saw loved ones and friends killed. They witnessed Israeli missiles and other munitions destroying their homes and neighborhoods. They saw family members brutally arrested pre-dawn. Israel is a CRC signatory. It systematically spurns its provisions. It ignores them. It commits horrific violations. Doing so based on security concerns doesnt wash. Israels only threats are ones it invents. Victims are blamed for its crimes. They persist daily. They show no signs of ending. Palestinians suffer horrifically. Children most of all. Theyre defenseless against Israeli brutality. Its security forces take full advantage. On April 5, PA social affairs minister Kamal al-Sharafi said Israeli forces murdered 1,525 Palestinian children since 2000. Another 6,000 were injured. More than 10,000 were arrested. Currently over 200 are lawlessly imprisoned. Protecting and supporting children should be a national responsibility, said al-Sharafi. He urged PA officials to do more to help. A UN Children Fund (UNICEF) report documented 700 Palestinian children aged 12 17 arrested, brutally interrogated and imprisoned during 2013. Doing so constitutes cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. International law is violated. It doesnt matter. Israeli rules are enforced. Theyre horrific. Theyre extrajudicial. They persist. UNICEFs report was damning. Its report covered what it called the occupied Palestinian territory, which includes the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip. It said Israeli treatment amounts to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment according to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention against Torture. In response, Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmer lied saying: Israel will study the conclusions and will work to implement them through ongoing cooperation with UNICEF, whose work we value and respect. According to UNICEF, (t)he pattern of ill-treatment includesthe practice of blindfolding children and tying their hands with plastic ties, physical and verbal abuse during transfer to an interrogation site, including the use of painful restraints. Minors accused of stone throwing endure horrific treatment. Theyre defenseless on their own against it. Childrens rights are denied during court appearances, including shackling of children, denial of bail and imposition of custodial sentences and transfer of children outside occupied Palestinian territory to serve their sentences inside Israel, said UNICEF. Its widespread, systematic and institutionalized. UNICEFs report was based on 400 documented cases since 2009. It used Israeli legal papers, government and NGO reports, interviews with Palestinian minors, as well as others with Israeli and Palestinian officials and lawyers. Clear evidence revealed extreme Israeli brutality. Children are violently arrested. Theyre beaten. Theyre blindfolded. Theyre painfully shackled. Theyre isolated. Theyre sleep-deprived. Theyre brutalized in other ways. Theyre physically and verbally abused. Theyre given limited access to water, food, toilet facilities and medical care. Theyre denied access to family members and lawyers. They arent told their rights. Confessions are extracted under duress. Theyre forced to sign them in Hebrew they cant read. Theyre threatened with physical violence, death, and sexual assault against themselves (and/or) family members. Few children can resist this type sustained treatment. Nor can many adults. Jean-Nicolas Beuze is UNICEFs child protection regional advisor. Israel is the only place in the world where automatically a child, when he is under arrest, is put before a military tribunal, he said. In other countries, doing so is an exception, he added. A child is a civilian. On April 5, Palestinians commemorated Childrens Day. Its no celebratory event. Not under brutalizing occupation. Not when horrific suffering persists. Not when countless numbers of defenseless Palestinian children are grievously harmed. Childrens Day reminds. It highlights high Israeli crimes too grave to ignore. Its about murdering children in cold blood. Its terrorizing them. Its arresting them lawlessly. Its imprisoning them. Its torturing them. Its attacking them at home, at checkpoints, at play, heading to school or coming home. Its systematically denying their rights. Its about world leaders able to make a difference turning a blind eye. Its about letting Israel get away with murder and much more. UNICEF says violence against children is everywhere. Its in plain sight. Other times its hidden behind closed doors. Its invisible out of sight. All children have the right to live free from violence. (It) harms their physical and mental growth. (It affects) every society. Its worst of all against children. Their day highlights Israeli crimes. Theyre too grave to ignore. They harmed generations of Palestinian children. Their rights are systematically denied. Annual commemorations include speeches, marches, school events, poetry readings, theatrical productions, music and more. Theyre held to highlight childrens rights. They defend them. They support them. They protest against abuses too grave to tolerate. According to Defense for Children International (DCI), Universal Childrens Day includes little joy in Palestine. Israel consistently fail(s) to fulfill or respect the rights of Palestinian childrenIt systematically sideline(s) or violate(s) these rights Its done so throughout decades of militarized occupation. Murdering and brutalizing Palestinian children is longstanding Israeli practice. So is harming them in many other ways. Accountability is rare. Convictions are almost unheard of. Soldiers are indifferent to Palestinian childrens right to life. They commit murder and other high crimes with immunity. As a CRC signatory, Israel is obligated to protect children under its jurisdiction. Non-compliance with fundamental international law is common practice. DCI calls Israels occupation illegal. It appealed to world leaders to demand Israel respect Palestinian childrens rights. They turn a blind eye to doing so. Palestinian children today suffer more than ever. Theyre defenseless on their own. A Final Comment Sham peace talks continue. How much longer remains to be seen. An April 29 cutoff date looms. Perhaps Palestinian negotiators will agree to extend it. If so, theyll have to explain. Months of talks went nowhere. Nor will months more. Days earlier, Abbas applied to join 15 UN bodies and treaties. Joining dozens more should be prioritized. They include the International Criminal Court and World Court. Abbas should have done it years ago. Joining is one thing. Using them responsibly another. Israeli officials outrageously denounced Abbas initiative. They want Palestinians denied all rights. They want Jews alone having them. On Sunday, Netanyahu commented for the first time. He did so saying: Unilateral steps by the Palestinians will be answered with unilateral steps on our part. He omitted explaining unilateral Israeli lawlessness. Palestinians are systematically brutalized. Theyre attacked multiple times daily. Theyre beaten, terrorized, arrested and detained. Theyre tortured. Theyre murdered in cold blood. Dont expect Netanyahu to explain. Palestine already is a state. It became one in November 1988. Most UN members support it. Netanyahu wont acknowledge what exists. (T)he Palestinians will get a state only though direct negotiations, and not through empty declarations, nor through unilateral actions that will only keep the peace agreement further away, he said. He deplores Palestinian self-determination. Hes gone all-out to prevent it. He wants occupation harshness continued. He wants all valued Palestinian land stolen. He wants Palestinians kept brutally oppressed. He wants them denied all rights. Peace process talks mock legitimate ones. Multiple previous ones were dead on arrival. Current talks are worthless. Israel concedes nothing. It negotiates one-way. Netanyahu lied claiming: Right when we were about to come close to that framework, Abbas rushed to declare he will not even discuss recognizing Israel as the national state of the Jewish people not even discuss, not to mention agree. Recognizing Israel as a Jewish state violates the fundamental rights of its 20% Arab population. It consigns them to oblivion. It makes them non-persons. Israeli peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan included no recognition of Israel as a Jewish state provision. Demanding it likely would have killed both initiatives. Abbas acted, Netanyahu added, even though he knows no agreement will be signed without the recognition of Israel as the national state of the Jewish people, something that the US president and other world leaders also made clear. False! World leaders oppose it. So do Obama and John Kerry. During a March meeting with Abbas, Obama never raised the issue. He said nothing about recognizing Israel as a Jewish state. Kerry called Israels demand a mistake. He wants it excluded from talks. Netanyahu lied claiming otherwise. He continued, saying: Unfortunately, as we approached the talks deadline, the Palestinian leadership rushed to unilaterally join 14 (15, not 14) international treaties. Thus the Palestinians significantly violated the agreements that were achieved. The threats to turn to the UN do not affect us. The Palestinians have plenty to lose in a unilateral step. Abbas acted legally. He violated nothing. Harsh Israeli recrimination is likely. Its longstanding rogue state practice. Millions of ordinary Palestinians suffer most. Expect dark times to get darker.

3	Bad laws are the worst sort of tyrannyJames Smith, Contributor John Stuart Mill, Inaugural Address: Delivered to the University of St. Andrews, Feb. 1st 1867 The events in Newton, CT has led to a cacophony of cries begging for the elimination of firearms within the United States. Gun control, they believe, will stop mass murders and make their streets safer. Sadly, on the exact same day, a deranged man in Chinakilled 22 children with a knife. That is two more than Adam Lanza killed with a firearm. Over 2000 children a day are killed in the United States by abortion. And there is no outcry by the media to stop that. But do those that demand safe streets have any hope in removing firearms from the hands of the average citizen. Never mind the number of laws, written on paper, that Lanza broke on that fateful day. Actually, they dont. You see there is something called the Constitution and the Bill of Rights that protects gun ownership. In the case of Heller vs. DC, an opinion authored by Justice Antonin Scalia, the Court held that the right to own a gun is not connected with service in a militia; rather, it is a personal right to own a firearm for traditionally lawful purposes such as self-defense within the home. Let us substitute one legal object with another, and see how that fared almost 80 years ago Alcohol. It was a legal substance that could be bought and sold according to the free market principles. It was taxed and generated revenue for local and state governments. Section 1. After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited. Section 2. The Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. Section 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress. The ramifications of passing such a Constitutional Amendment was devastating. Wikipedia states it the best: Court cases challenged the enforcement of the 18th Amendment as violations of rights guaranteed under the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. The 21st Amendment was passed a few years later, restoring the right to manufacture, posses, and sell alcohol. This highlights two things: Now lets change not the object, but the Constitutional Right that people should repeal. Let change it to the First Amendment in particular, the Freedom of the Press. It is frequently the talking heads on TV that demand gun control. The reporters on the street find people to ask their opinion. If they find a person who supports the 2nd Amendment, are you sure that person was put on the air to express their opinion, or only those that support the reporters (allegedly neutral) beliefs in gun control? The Media should be aware that the product they put forth is a weapon. If the media was not such a great tool at behavior control, why did Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, and others use it to advance their ideals to the masses? Interestingly, those tyrants that demanded gun control also held an iron fist over the media. Consider the following: Is this concept wrong? As once pointed out by . Edmund Burke (January 12, 1729 July 9, 1797) was a statesman who is often regarded as the father of modern conservatism in a letter to Richard Burke: The media is keen to point out how a firearm was misused, but are shy to report on their own criminal acts. One of my favorite journalist, Matt Drudge, quoted in 1998 during the Press Club Dinner. From the Speech: Other such evil acts have been done at the hands of qualified journalists exercising poor judgment with their First Amendment Rights So clearly, we should eliminate the Freedom of the Press because they cant stop themselves from damaging the reputations or from stealing content from of others. So lets go back to the issue at hand: Gun Control Burke also pointed out some very important aspects of laws and tyranny: The problem with gun control is very simple: Its not the gun that is at fault, it is the person. Evil is as evil does. Give a madman a scalpel and you have Jack the Ripper. Give it Dr. Christaan Barnard and you have the first human heart transplant. Guns come in many different flavors. They are like spoons. You have teaspoons and tablespoons. You have spoons for your jam, spoons for your gravy, spoons for your soup, spoons for mixing and stirring, and spoons to rest your mixing spoon on your stove. Guns are like that. You have handguns that are either semi-automatic or revolver. Then there are long guns such as a hunting rifle or shotgun. And then comes the tactically fancy-shmancy looking assault rifle like the AR-15 that is truly a long gun but has the cosmetic appearance of a true assault rifle, like the AK-47. It is against the law for any firearm to be fully automatic, unless you have a license from the Federal Government to possess a fully automatic weapon. Each weapon has its own particular use. A handgun is for personal protection. A long gun is for hunting. An assault weapon is what helps protect us from Tyranny. Tyranny? Of course. The 1984 movie Red Dawn to some peoples opinion is about government tyranny. And that includes the writer, John Milius. When Milius was interviewed about the movie, Milius says, People ask, Whats that movie about? And I say that movies not about the Russians; its about the federal government. There is a scene in that movie that should scare every American. The scene in the movie is the one where the Cuban leader of the enemy forces orders his men to go to local sporting goods stores to take all the Form 4473s so that they can confiscate all legally purchased firearms from the citizens. Given Mr. Obamas track record, would you expect anything less? So Media, if you want to take the guns from honest people, fine. But remember this: You said nothing when our Constitutional Rights were violated. We cant protect you when they come to take away your rights.

3	Thanks a Lot, Mr. President: Single Moms Letter Goes ViralKimberly Paxton One mom decided to vent her frustration by posting a letter to the President on her Facebook page. Yolanda Burroughs-Vestal of Palmer, Texas never expected her rant to go viral, but it has had tens of thousands of views and is still going strong. Her Thanks a lot, Mr. President letter speaks to the day-to-day experiences that many parents and not just single parents have while working too many hours and making too little money. Suddenly former money problems seem minuscule in the face of the huge increase in expenses that Obamacare will bring, without any of the promised relief. (Most people are finding that once they make their monthly payments and cover their deductibles, they will have spent over $5000 before Obamacare ever covers a dime and if the family is already struggling financially, who has room for that in the budget?) Dear President Obama, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all you have done and are doing. You see I am a single Mom located in the very small town of Palmer, Texas. I live in a small rental house with my two children. I drive an older car that I pray daily runs just a little longer. I work at a mediocre job bringing home a much lower paycheck than you or your wife could even imagine living on. I have a lot of concerns about the new Obamacare along with the taxes being forced on us Americans and debts you are adding to our country. I have a few questions for you Mr. President. Have you ever struggled to pay your bills? I have. Have you ever sat and watched your children eat and you eat what was left on their plates when they were done, because there wasnt enough for you to eat to? I have. Have you ever been so sick that you needed to see a doctor and get medicine, but had no health insurance because it was too expensive? I have. Have you ever had to tell your children no, when they asked for something they needed? I have. Have you ever patched holes in pants, glued shoes, replaced zippers, because it was cheaper than buying new? I have. Have you ever had to put an item or two back at the grocery store, because you didnt have enough money? I have. Have you ever cried yourself to sleep, because you had no clue how you were going to make ends meet? I have. My questions could go on and on. I dont believe you have a clue what Americans are actually going through and honestly, I dont believe you care. Not everyone lives extravagantly. While your family takes expensive trips that cost more than most of us make in two-four years, there are so many of us that suffer. Yet, you are doing all you can to add to the suffering. I think you are a very selfish and cold hearted man, who does not care what is best for the people he was elected by (not by me) to represent, but more so out for the glory of your name attached to history. So thank you Mr. President, thank you for pushing those of us that are barely staying afloat completely under water and driving America into the ground. You have made your mark in history, as the absolute worst and most hated president of the United States. God have mercy on your soul! Sincerely, Yolanda Vestal Average American Vestal said she was worrying about paying the bills when she penned the letter. It was on my mind I had to pay bills, Vestal said. All I could think was, how am I going to make it to the end of the month? BizPac Review describes her situation: A divorced mother of two teenage daughters, Vestal also has a son who lives with his father. While she and her ex-husband work together to do whats best for their children, Vestal said, the economy has changed, putting a financial strain on both households. She makes too much money to receive assistance, she said, but barely enough to get by. Vestal has received offers of help, but she said shes not looking for handouts or charity, and thats not the reason she wrote the letter. Im not worthy, she said. Im one of millions. She merely wanted to express her opinion that legislation pushed by the administration in the last few years is hurting people. Right is right, wrong is wrong, she said. What theyre doing is wrong. Vestal said shes received a few negative comments, and some critics have made assumptions about her and her children. But she said she replies with, God bless you, and moves on to the next message. The president was in Dallas Wednesday night for two campaign fundraisers including a private dinner that commanded as much as $32,000 per plate, according to the Dallas News. One plate for dinner is equal to a years salary for some of us, Vestal said. Kimberly Paxton is a staff writer for the Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared. She is based out of upstate New York. 
3	Judge Orders Pink Slime Silence to Protect CompanyHeather Callaghan Lean-finely-texturized-beef (LFTB) is a meat filler made from ammoniated boneless lean beef scraps, connective tissue or similar products, which are considered unfit for human consumption until ammonium hydroxide has been added due to e.coli and salmonella. It wasdog food until the meat industry lobbied its use as meat filler for us. South Dakota-based company Beef Products, Inc. (BPI) filed legal action in 2010 to block records release after they were requested by a Seattle food safety law firm and the New York Times. Last month, District JudgeDale Ruigh upheld the block and ruled that releasing those records would do irreparable harm and reveal information about proprietary food-processing techniques. The harm to both company and consumer has already been done. What is so scandalous that we dont already know? Did he find something else? Do the records confess something previously omitted? It doesnt sound like he has had negative findings. Perhaps BPI anticipated a backlash and filed in 2010 to hold it off. So much for any kind of transparency. For whatever reason, BPI doesnt want it out there and the judge agrees it would harm the already failing company. BPI had to close down 3 out of its 4 branches. selfnews outrage caused grocery and fast food chains to drop LFBT. A disgruntled former employee tried to sue Diane Sawyer, ABC company, Jamie Oliver, and a food blogger for damages, yet it coincides with his book deal about Pink Slime ruining his life he retracted the lawsuit. The vast public didnt know about the ammonium gas because the product isnt labeled as such its considered a part of the process and generally recognized as safe by the government. And that product is mixed into ground beef as a filler, also considered a part of processing. But if a sickness breaks out, it would be impossible to trace think of the variety of sources cattle ground beef comes from; now think of the filler scraps. The meat industry had the sheer gall to blame the public for finding out (not unlike a Scooby-Doo villain) and for jobs lost. They retaliated by threatening higher prices without the filler. Way to serve. Meanwhile, the real culprits the FDA and USDA escaped the PR nightmare. With all the fuss about food safety with the Food Safety Modernization Act and raw milk scare tactics, one would think the FDA and USDA would come down hard on companies whose products could either trigger deadly food sickness or reaction from ammonia treatment. But they continue to protect it and shove it on school children its voluntary, but many budget-strapped schools will continue to serve it in the National School Lunch Program as it has been deemed safe. The Obama administration has imparted hundreds of millions to the FDA for food safety in its newest campaign, which spends millions to harass peaceful farmers and yields to corporate moguls and subsidized darlings.

2	Daily Shows Trevor Noah Instantly Regrets Hitting Trump Below The Belt With Attack On Daughter Earlier this week, Trevor Noah from The Daily Show took a few huge shots at Trump. First, he started off by talking about Trump accusing Ted Cruz of not being an American citizen. He noted that if Trump had never said anything, it would never have been brought up. Donald Trump is absolutely right. It would be awful to disqualify a candidate just because of an irrelevant possible scandal hanging over their head. For instance, a lot of people are saying that Donald Trump wants to bang his daughter. And I hope its not true, but Ive even seen people saying it on television. And on the Comedy Central app, Trevor said. I mean, if you Google Donald Trump Wants To Bang His Daughter, you can watch these videos yourself, he said. It would be a shame if people watched that and if people started tweeting the hashtag #DonaldTrumpWantsToBangHisDaughter. I hope that doesnt happen, he said sarcastically. Trevor Noah was met with a frenzy of Trump supporters on social media. People were saying things such as, Liberals projecting incest fantasies on other people, again. this guy sucks and so does Hillary Clinton. Go fuck yourself. would you say the same about Chelsea and Bill? Obama and his daughters? The backlash goes on and on. Do you think Noah crossed the line with this? 
3	And Now for the Robot ApocalypseBy James Corbett Earlier today the grandiloquently named Future of Life Institute (FLI) announced an open letter on the subject of autonomous weapons. In case youre not keeping up with artificial intelligence research, that means weapons that seek and engage targets all by themselves. While this sounds fanciful to the uninformed, it is in fact a dystopian nightmare that, thanks to startling innovations in robotics and artificial intelligence by various DARPA-connected research projects, is fast becoming a reality. Heck, people are already customizing their own multirotor drones to fire handguns; just slap some AI on that and call it Skynet. Indeed, as anyone who has seen Robocop, Terminator, Bladerunner or a billion other sci-fi fantasies will know, gun-wielding, self-directed robots are not to be hailed as just another rung on the ladder of technical progress. But for those who are still confused on this matter, the FLI open letter helpfully elaborates: Autonomous weapons are ideal for tasks such as assassinations, destabilizing nations, subduing populations and selectively killing a particular ethnic group. In other words, instead of autonomous weapons we might get the point across more clearly if we just call them for what they are: soulless killing machines. (But then we might risk confusing them with the psychopaths at the RAND Corporation or the psychopaths on the Joint Chiefs of Staff or the psychopaths in the CIA or the psychopaths in the White House) In order to confront this pending apocalypse, the fearless men and women at the FLI have bravely stepped up to the plate andwritten a polite letter to ask governments to think twice before developing these really effective, well-nigh unstoppable super weapons (pretty please). Well, as I say, you cant blame them for trying, can you? Well, yes. Actually you can. Not only is the letter a futile attempt to stop the psychopaths in charge from developing a better killing implement, it is a deliberate whitewashing of the problem. According to FLI, the idea isnt scary in and of itself, it isnt scary because of the documented history of the warmongering politicians in the US and the other NATO countries, it isnt scary because governments murdering their own citizens was the leading cause of unnatural death in the 20th century. No, its scary because It will only be a matter of time until [autonomous weapons] appear on the black market and in the hands of terrorists, dictators wishing to better control their populace, warlords wishing to perpetrate ethnic cleansing, etc. If you thought the hysteria over Irans nuclear non-weapons program was off the charts, you aint seen nothing yet. Just wait till the neo-neocons get to claim that Assad or Putin or the enemy of the week is developing autonomous weapons! In fact, the FLI doesnt want to stop the deployment of AI on the battlefield at all. Quite the contrary. There are many ways in which AI can make battlefields safer for humans the letter says before adding that AI has great potential to benefit humanity in many ways, and that the goal of the field should be to do so. In fact, theyve helpfully drafted a list of research priorities for study into the field of AI on the assumption that AI will be woven into the fabric of our society in the near future, from driverless cars and robots in the workforce to, yes, autonomous weapons. So who is FLI and who signed this open letter. Oh, just Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, Nick Bostrom and a host of Silicon Valley royalty and academic bigwigs. Naturally the letter is being plastered all over the media this week in what seems suspiciously like an advertising campaign for the machine takeover, with Bill Gates and Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk having already broached the subject in the past year, as well as the Channel Four drama Humans and a whole host of other cultural programming coming along to subtly indoctrinate us that this robot-dominated future is an inevitability. This includes extensive coverage of this topic in the MSM, including copious reports in outlets like The Guardian telling us how AI is going to merge with the Internet of Things. But dont worry; its mostly harmless. or so they want us to believe. Of course what they dont want to talk about in great detail is the nightmare vision of the technocractic agenda that these technologies (or their forerunners) are enabling and the transhumanist nightmare that this is ultimately leading us toward. That conversation is reserved for proponents of the Singularity like Ray Kurzweil and any attempts to point out the obvious problems with this idea are poo-pooed as conspiracy theory. And so we have suspect organizations like the Future of Life Institute trying to steer the conversation on AI into how we can safely integrate these potentially killer robots into our future society even as the Hollywood programmers go overboard in steeping us in the idea. Meanwhile, those of us in the reality-based community get to watch this grand uncontrolled experiment with the future of our world unfold like the genetic engineering experiment and the geoengineering experiment. What can be done about this AI / transhumanist / technocratic agenda? Is it possible to be derailed? Contained? Stopped altogether? How? Corbett Report members are invited to log in and leave their thoughts in the comment section HERE. You can read more from James Corbett at his site TheCorbettReport.com I particularly enjoy the making battlefields safer for humans part. So, Im assuming that by more efficiently killing more bad guys, while taking less casualties by the good guys. This is a SAFER battlefield? F*ck me. What a nightmare. hmmmm linked up and everywhere guess they will be the top of the food chain. 
3	Humor for Taking Back Your Personal PowerHeather Callaghan 2. Humor Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself, it is a strength beyond all measure Humor breeds life, acceptance and personal power. It is freeing and absent of fear. You wont find much of it in strict, punitive, controlling regimes often found in the following institutions: Why do you think that is? Humor cannot coexist with the force of control. Because it aids in acceptance or integration, you will see a weaker version of it in the entertainment industry. Weak because the purpose is to accept something unpalatable. That can be anything between full-blown propaganda to embarrassingly bad commercial advertisements. After talking about that, he writes: On the other hand, like love, laughterheals because it arises through viewing asmall context from a larger and moreinclusive one, which removes theobserver from the victim posture. Everyjoke reminds us that our reality istranscendent, beyond the specifics ofevents. Gallows humor, for instance, isbased on the juxtaposition of theopposites of a paradox; the relief of basicanxiety then results in a laugh. One of thefrequent accompaniments of suddenenlightening realizations is laughter. Thecosmic joke is the side-by-sidecomparison of illusion with reality. Humorlessness, in contrast, is inimical tohealth and happiness. Totalitariansystems are notably devoid of humor atany level. Laughter, which bringsacceptance and freedom, is a threat totheir rule through force and intimidation;it is hard to oppress people who have agood sense of humor. Beware thehumorless, whether in a person,institution or belief system; it is alwaysaccompanied by an impulse to controland dominate, even if its proclaimedobjective is to create prosperity or peace. Having a sense of humor with oneself can bring acceptance of all forms; and, as Hawkins says, removes one from the victim stance. There are plenty of studies done about humor and health. One anecdote comes from the movie The Secret, where a woman healed herself completely of breast cancer after shutting out external influence and stress and watching comedy with her husband. She didnt use any chemo, cutting or radiation. Just humor. If you want to infuse more humor into your activism, consider a book called Comedy Writing Secrets.

2	THIS Major University Does Something Sickening To ChickIt wasnt long ago that Chick-fil-A faced boycotts after the owners beliefs on gay marriage were revealed to the public. Now, the restaurant chain is facing controversy once again, as Indiana University students just voted to kick it off their campus. According to reports, the Chick-fil-A franchise contract on the IU campus was up for review, and the school made the controversial decision to turn the decision to renew over to students. By a vote of 18-9, the students decided to let the restaurant go. Why? The students felt the chain had incongruent views on LGBT issues and gay marriage. The same meeting also determined that a new gender blind residence hall would be developed specifically for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students. To simply silence one side to prop up another is not building an inclusive community; its building a community as you would like to see it, says Andrew Ireland, one student who voted to keep Chick-fil-A on campus. Why on a campus of thousands of students and faculty, should a body of a couple of dozen individuals decide whether or not people have a choice to shop at Chick-fil-A? adds student Matt Shute, chairman of IUs Conservative Young Americans for Freedom. A university is supposed to support a free medium of ideas. Ireland and Shute are not alone is their protest to the ruling. What do you think of IUs decision to ban the restaurant? 
1	Street-smart teen Larry Witherspoon was found dead Monday at the Michigan Avenue branch of the Chicago Public Library, his urban know-how useless to him in the unfamiliar environment. 'Unfortunately, the skills Larry had developed on the mean streets of Chicago's South Side did him no good in a place like this,' librarian Mary Ross said. 'Hypothetically, he could have located a book on library survival skills, had he known what the Dewey Decimal system was and how to use it.'

1	Admitting he has mellowed out a bit with age, 54-year-old militant jihadist Adil Jalal Kalmati confided to reporters Wednesday that he now finds himself far less enraged by Western culture than he did in his younger days as a religious extremist. The veteran Taliban insurgent confirmed that while he still strictly and unflinchingly follows the tenets of Sharia law, he gets less worked up than he used to whenever someone expresses a personal value that could be seen to clash in any way with the fundamentalist practice of Sunni Islam. In my youth, I was pretty quick to fly off the handle at the mere mention of Western clothing, music, food, ideasanything, said Kalmati, explaining that once he entered his 50s, he no longer felt the same intense compulsion to savagely beat any man who dared to shave his beard. Thirty years ago, seeing a woman who wasnt covered head to toe in a burka would drive me mad. Id follow her home, find out where she lives, and come back the next day to throw acid in her face. Nowadays, Im more likely to just shake my head and go on with my day. I dont blow a gasket like I used to. Do I still want to unleash ceaseless death and destruction upon the infidels in the name of Allah? he added. Absolutely. But Ive learned to pick my battles. Kalmati explained to reporters that as hes grown older, hes begun to realize that life is too short to spend an entire day disemboweling a teacher for the offense of educating girls, or publicly flogging a woman seen walking with a man who isnt a relativethings he has reportedly done in the past without hesitation. Now that hes reached middle age, the Islamist operative said, he is also less inclined to react violently when coming across Pashtuns who embrace elements of American culture, a far cry from when he was younger and once shot the entire staff of a local movie theater execution-style for screening a Hollywood film. There comes a point when you realize you cant just furiously obsess over every little transgression of your literal interpretation of the Prophets teachingsotherwise, youll just be miserable all the time, said Kalmati, pointing to past instances in which he got very heated, admittedly and dragged men accused of homosexuality into the streets, stripped them naked, and stoned them to death. Many years ago, I kidnapped and beheaded a journalist with a group of older mujahideen who hardly seemed to take any pleasure in the act at all. I remember thinking, Ill never be like that. But now that Im their age, I completely get where they were coming from. Im a bit more laid-back these days, and it takes a lot to get me riled up enough to pack a car full of explosives and remotely detonate it in a crowded urban bazaar, he continued. It still happens every once in a while, but not as often as it used to. While acknowledging that the thought of male doctors treating female patients will still, on occasion, cause him to erupt in a fit of anger and burn down a public hospital, Kalmati explained that he now focuses more time and energy on his personal hobbies, which include cooking and photography. The aging zealot stressed that his desire to cleanse the world of all infidelseven if it means massacring fellow Muslims who arent strictly devout or who practice Shia Islamremains as strong as ever. But he noted he is far happier now that his entire emotional state no longer revolves solely around that end. You get married, you have a few kids, and eventually you realize you no longer want to go out at night to ransack a Christian bookstore and slit the owners throat in front of his family, Kalmati said. But thats okay. When you look at the kinds of things the young jihadists are doing today, you realize the torch has been passed, he added. What theyre doing goes way beyond anything we ever even dreamed of. 
2	Everybody Loves Raymond Star Is Being Scrutinized For Speaking Publicly About Christianity, So She Does THIS Instead Recently, weve seen a string of Hollywood actors stepping out to speak up in support of Christianity. Such was the case for actress Patricia Heaton, the star of the new web series Versailles. Heaton, best known for her role on Everybody Loves Raymond, recently appeared on the Adam Carolla Show where she discussed her Christian faith. I think its interesting that you keep having these born agains come into your lifeyour driver, the guys you were in construction with, Heaton claimed. C.S. Lewis calls those the hounds of heaven. I know where youre going with this, Carolla responded. Believe you me, I wish I was religious. Ive told people that a million times. Heaton then went on to describe the importance of raising children with a concrete set of beliefs. You can give them concrete principles of atheism I guess if you want but when you see little kids, to me they have a natural inclination toward God or something god-like, she told the radio audience. Carolla went on to discuss atheism, and his desire to be left alone. Meanwhile, Heaton confessed that her conservative views have cost her roles in Hollywood. Still, Heaton claims she would rather be shamed in Hollywood than rejected at the pearly gates. What do you think of Heatons comments? 
2	Rush Limbaugh Just Did It This week, conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh spoke with a caller on his program who expressed concern over the need to stop Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton from winning the presidency. Clinton has made it very clear that she intends to continue on Obamas path of destruction. Limbaugh passionately agreed with the caller, reiterating that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is the only person with a chance of defeating Clinton, whether you like him or not. You know, all of these Republicans and conservatives who are saying that they just cant, in good conscience, support Trump because they dont want to undercut conservatism or the conservative movement, to me its not about that, Limbaugh commented. This is about the country and stopping Hillary Clinton. I realize some of you in this audience dont like Trump and you might try to find somebody else, he continued. You dont want to vote Hillary, so you might go third-party, you might try to find somebody else you can vote for. Mistake. Rush then went on to outline the way Clinton and the Democratic party have worked to unravel the America we know and love. Their vision for the country has a very different culture, ideas, morals and values than the one were used to. Limbaugh also claimed he had been prepared to support any of the 16 or 17 GOP candidates that had run for the nomination just to stop Clinton from winning the presidency. Thats what this has always been about to me, Limbaugh continued. Its greater than my personal preferences over ideology and so forth. Its bigger to me than part. The countrys always been bigger than party, to me. We have 70 percent of the American people admitting, in a lot of polls, they think the countrys going in the wrong direction, he argued. Well, we can build on that. The problem is that many in that 70 percent have no idea why. Theyre chalking it up to things that do not blame the people actually responsible for it. The case is easily made that Democrat Party policies implemented in the last eight years have led to 94 million Americans not working, have led to the lowest home ownership in 51 years, have led to the student loan system becoming an absolute albatross around students necks. What do you think of Limbaughs comments? Do you agree that Trump is the only chance at defeating Clinton? 
2	Justice System Turns On Hillary After NonHillary Clinton has been saying forever that she never sent any classified emails. A non-disclosure agreement has been found that verifies her knowledge of what information was classified. She cant play dumb anymore. She knew exactly what she was doing. I have been advised that the unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized retention, or negligent handling of SCI by me could cause irreparable injury to the United States or be used to advantage by a foreign nation, read part of the document. This document proves that it was Hillarys responsibility to know what information is classified, and to not share it. This is the end for her. Do you think Hillary deserves prison? 
3	Hundreds in Texas Organize Counter Jade Helm Surveillance OperationSeveral hundred people in Texas have organized Counter Jade Helm, in response to the upcoming multi-agency, multi-state, artificial intelligence-run Jade Helm military drill set to begin on July 15th in Bastrop, Big Spring and Junction, Texas. Counter Jade Helm, aka CJH, is a training exercise for the people. In response to the militarys multi-state training, called Jade Helm 2015, citizens will participate in an unofficial fashion to practice counter-insurgency, organizational and intelligence gathering and reporting skills. CJH is not affiliated with the militarys training exercise. The objective is not to stop or countermand the militarys training, but to practice our own skills. Anyone can participate. Groups within each state that will play host to the military are being established to streamline the process. Individuals not wishing to be affiliated with a group can also submit information to this website for analysis and publishing. The website includes a place for the public to turn in Salute Reports, which are described as: SALUTE reports are used by the military to report, in short form, enemy sightings. Containing only 6 sections, its quick, easy and effective. Its also, but less commonly called a SPOT report. When troops observe activity of opposing forces, special targets or other assigned observation targets, SALUTE reports are generated and passed up, typically to the S-2 or intelligence section of the higher command level. The site also includes a helpful military vehicle ID list which has graphics to aid the public in identifying what they might be seeing during Jade Helm for report submission. Considering a lot of people feel helpless when the government carries out these types of drills in their area, this is one creative, clever way to fight fire with fire (so-to-speak) and to gather and share information. There areobviously a lot of reasons to be suspicious of this drill. Again as previously reported on TDS, this is the first massive military drill of its kind ever in America. It is set to include Green Berets, Navy SEALs, and Air Force Special Ops among other government law agencies, setting loosean estimated grand total of over 1,200 troops. It has been said drill participants are supposed to try and blend in undetected with their surroundings, although how blending in on Main Street U.S.A. is supposed to help our troops do anything overseas has never once been explained to anyonewith a critical eyessatisfaction (mostly because it makes no sense as to how successfully infiltrating America will help our troopsin the Middle East, for example it only really helps them if they plan to occupy America itself). Texas Governor Greg Abbott has called in the Texas State Guard to monitor the exercise, supposedly in response to martial law takeover fears, but thats just as likely cover for the fact that they were set to be part of the exercise all along why not, so many other military agencies are. In addition, all media has been banned from witnessing the exercise, as reported in the Washington Post: Embedded reporters wont be permitted at any point during the exercise, in which military officials say that secretive Special Operations troops will maneuver through private and publicly owned land in several southern states. Wapo reportedly made several requests to observe Jade Helm and help quell public fears, but they were refused on the grounds that the exercise willbe isolated and the identity of those involved needs to be protected. Wapos Dan Lamothe wenton to point out this makes no sense, however, as Wapojournalists have been granted access to Special Forces during military drills before. The Jade Helm 15 drill, named for a DARPA-developed A.I.quantum computing technology that produces holographic battlefield simulations and will be in charge of the drill in order to master the human domain and predict human response, is set to run from July 15 through September 15. Although we have been informed of the three cities the drill will begin in, allother locations are classified. Of the Counter Jade Helm exercise, the Houston Chronicle reported: Eric Johnston, a 51-year-old retired firefighter and sheriffs deputy who lives in Kerrville, is a surveillance team leader in Texas. [] If a team member sees two Humvees full of soldiers driving through town, theyre going to follow them, Johnston said. And theyre going to radio back their ultimate location. They arent worried about martial law, he said, but feel like they cant trust the government, and want to make sure the Military isnt under orders to pull anything funny. Melissa Dykes is a writer, researcher, and analyst for The Daily Sheeple, where this article first appeared, 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! Wapo reportedly made several requests to observe Jade Helm and help quell public fears, but they were refused on the grounds that the exercise will be isolated and the identity of those involved needs to be protected. Wapos Dan Lamothe went on to point out this makes no sense, .. It makes perfect sense for the extraction process, you know, the kidnapping of innocent Americans, who had exercised theyre 1st amendment rights! Remember the Bonus Army massacre of WWI veterans general MacArthur was a part of it. It can happen This whole operation is bazaar and only makes sense to the psychopaths who developed and approved it, like Dr. Strangelove. WHEN OUR OWN FIRST REPONDERS WERE NOT ASKED TO BE PART OF IT, THIS MEANT THAT WE THE PEOPLE ARE NOT A CONSIDERTION. TERRIBLE LOSS OF A CHANCE TO INCLUDE ALL OF US TO BE BETTER PREPARED FOR ANY DISASTER. When was the last time there was even a public service announcement of what to do to be prepared for even a flood, wildfire , or tornado. Gov Abbot is right on to ask the National Guard to observe as they would be and should be the ones in charge of helping the people in case of any need for military intervention. Great missed opportunity for all to be aware to be better prepared as each community could have had its own drill for human needs that would surely be part of any invasion. Its been like this since 2001 when the people were told to ignore the war and go about our daily lives as if nothing was going on as we spent our money on wars and our lived ones came home in body bags or broken in body and spirit. Any presidential candidates commenting on this? Linda Joy Adams 
1	Dan Spengler, CEO of the direct-mail-marketing firm Mailbox Of Savings, took umbrage Monday at the use of the term 'junk mail.' 'I'm sorry, but we didn't earn receipts in excess of $8 million last year by filling people's mailboxes with 'junk,'' Spengler told the offending party. 'How else will potential customers know about bargains like 500 mailing labels for $8.95 or 10 percent off framing at The Great Frame-Up if not by direct mail?' Added Spengler: 'It's not like my company calls people at home like telemarketers. Everyone hates that.' 
1	According to a report released Friday, which noted a considerable increase in the number of people talking about soccer throughout the United States, this is not the year of a World Cup, so there must be something else going on. 'Our research definitely shows a measurable increase in soccer-related conversations, Facebook updates, and tweets, which would be a perfectly natural occurrence around the time of a World Cup. However, thats still two years away, so were really stumped,' said Dr. Galen Clavio, a professor of sports communication at Indiana University, adding that hours of research also affirmed the increased soccer talk is not at all related to the upcoming London Olympics. 'The current leading theory is that one of the famous soccer guys might have died, but the chatter only seems to be increasing rather than diminishing over time.' Stating that they hope to have a definite answer within the coming week, researchers said there remains a strong likelihood that Americans were simply confusing soccer and hockey. 
2	BOMBSHELL: What Obamas Kenyan Brother Just Said About Barack... White House Enraged Obama made headlines when he appeared in Kenya last week, and discussed his heritage for the first time. Now, Obamas Kenyan family has come forward to tell reporters that they were less-than-thrilled to see him. Barack doesnt want anything to do with us, his brother, Malik, told the press. Hes not an honest man. Its a big humiliation. Sources say t hat the brothers were once very close. Malik was even the best man at Obamas wedding to Michelle. The relationship grew more distant when Obama refused to provide money for a funeral for one of his family members. Sources say the brothers have been distant ever since Malik wrote Obama a letter asking for $15,000. That was nearly 20 years ago. What do you think? Are you surprised that Obamas family members are separating themselves from him, or would you do the same? 
1	Law enforcement officials confirmed Friday that four more copy editors were killed this week amid ongoing violence between two rival gangs divided by their loyalties to the The Associated Press Stylebook and The Chicago Manual Of Style. At this time we have reason to believe the killings were gang-related and carried out by adherents of both the AP and Chicago styles, part of a vicious, bloody feud to establish control over the grammar and usage guidelines governing American English, said FBI spokesman Paul Holstein, showing reporters graffiti tags in which the word anti-social had been corrected to read antisocial. The deadly territory dispute between these two organizations, as well as the notorious MLA Handbook gang, has claimed the lives of more than 63 publishing professionals this year alone. Officials also stated that an innocent 35-year-old passerby who found himself caught up in a long-winded dispute over use of the serial, or Oxford, comma had died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. 
3	The Road to Singularity: Potential Annihilation, Utopian Visions, Will Liberty Prevail?Daniel Taylor In 1945, George Orwell, famous for his stunningly accurate portrayal of a future police state in 1984, commented on prominent author C. S. Lewis book That Hideous Strength. Hideous Strength revolves around the National Institute for Coordinated Experiments (NICE) and the organizations plot to seize control of all life. Orwells commentary was published in the Manchester Evening News in 1945 with the headline THE SCIENTISTS TAKE OVER. Orwell wrote, Do we live in an age when these dreams of power could become a reality? Lewis and Orwell have been proven very accurate in their portrayals of the future 70 years ago. Much of the momentum for the scientific developments that would create these formerly fantastical technologies began in the lifetimes of both Lewis and Orwell. They witnessed the rise of the science of molecular biology, initiated by the Rockefeller Foundation and other tax-exempt foundations who were interested in finding out how the human body operates, with an eye toward better controlling society. The eugenics and social control paradigms that sprung from this foundation sparked scientific revolution in the early 20th century are still in play today among the intelligentsia of Western society. Vannevar Bush became the first Science Advisor to the United States government during World War II under President Franklin Roosevelt. Bush played a vital role in the creation of what we know today as the Military Industrial Complex. Specifically, the method of scientific research of this gargantuan organization beginning with the Office of Scientific Research and Development was devised by Vannevar. The roots of the Internet can be traced to Bushs ideas in 1945. The forerunner to the computer itself can also be attributed to his early designs. From 1935 to 1946 the Rockefeller Foundation funded Vannevar Bushs development of the mechanical differential analyzer at MIT for a total of $230,500. This device, along with the Hollerith machine, is considered to be one of the forerunners of the desktop computer that we all know and use today. Scientific developments and new technologies are often spun as beneficial things for humanity, and in fact many of them are. We need to remember that while each development brings power to mankind, it also gives power to some men over other men. As Orwell said, There is nothing improbable about such desires for power. President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned in his 1961 farewell speech in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite. In 1968 LIFE magazine profiled a man named Herman Kahn. Labeled an action intellectual, Kahn is a founding father of future studies. LIFE reports, Herman Kahn has been a major figure in one of the most fascinating shifts of power in U.S. History: from identifiable public leaders to the action intellectuals. The article continues, As counselors to the decision-makers, men such as Kahn often have access to future technology (what is known, but not yet disclosed) and official intelligence (what is known, but not yet revealed, about the capacities and plans of other nations) Thus, decisions based on private knowledge, analyzed by private consultants and debated in private can become public policy. This is a process of invisible power. Scientists from all over the world are warning that robots and artificial intelligence could eliminate humanity. Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, a private space exploration company, told CNBC recently that he is worried about a Terminator-like scenario as a result of advancing AI technology. Top A.I. researcher Hugo de Garis provides another example. De Garis explains that the development of super-intelligent A.I. may lead to a devastating Artilect war that could kill billions of people. This war could break out when two distinct groups of humanity emerge; One group embraces the god-like artificial intelligence and technological advancement with religious fervor, the other group fights to prevent it from ever being built. He adds that he is more than willing to take the risk, saying, As a brain builder myself, am I prepared to risk the extinction of the human species for the sake of building an artilect? yep. This mindset, common among scientific elites, was articulated by Arthur Kroker, Professor of Political Science at the University of Victoria and Director of the Pacific Centre for Technology and Culture. Kroker identified these individuals as Suicidal nihilists who can very happily ally themselves with a notion of nuclear holocaust or perfect exterminism Theyre creating again and again the exterminism of human memory, the exterminism of human sensibility, the exterminism of individuated human intelligence Transhumanism Partly due to popular culture, transhumanism has begun to catch on with the younger generations. As Amanda Stoel, co-founder of the Facebook group Singularity Network told the Huffington Post, Three years ago, we had only around 400 members, but today we have over 10,000 members. Another article from the Huffington Post says that the transhumanist movement is on the verge of going mainstream due to increasing popular culture references to transhumanist ideas. Art has been used for millennia to initiate and give support to ideas and movements. Transhumanist artwork in the form of sculptures, paintings, and music is now steadily flowing into our society. Movies like Transcendence, and Avatar are two recent examples. A haunting sculpture of a humanoid robotic figure crawling through water is featured at the luxury Grove Hotel in Watford, UK. The hotel was the site of the secretive 2013 Bilderberg meeting. The Grove hotel hosted Googles annual Zeitgeist conference just a few short days prior to Bilderbergs gathering. Googles CEO Eric Schmidt, who currently employs top transhumanist Ray Kurzweil as director of engineering, must have felt a kindred spirit at the Grove and its metallic humanoid sculptures. Transhumanists embrace the idea of radical human evolution aided by technology. Some see an entirely new species emerging when revolutionary technologies begin to be applied to the human race. Technologies for the improvement of human performance are at the center of transhumanist thought. Most of these technologies begin with military applications, and only after a period of use by the military or black operations are they unveiled to the general public. In 2008 the JASON group, the Pentagons top scientific advisers, warned that the U.S. military could face enemies with technologically enhanced abilities. These capabilities include brain-machine interfaces and pharmaceutical drugs that enhance cognitive abilities. This new arms race will eventually force our society into a transhuman future due to the never ending desire to dominate our enemies. The debate over whether or not we should genetically modify or chip our soldiers will inevitably spill over into the general public, who will be using these technologies themselves. According to CNN, human trials in the civilian world for memory enhancing brain chips are set to begin in less than a year. Exoskeletons, which provide super-human strength to those who wear them, were originally developed by DARPA, the Department of Defenses research agency. Other examples of technology with possible transhumanist applications include nanotechnology, synthetic biology, genetic modification, and cognitive science. Initial uses of these technologies will be to help the disabled walk, hear, and see. After this, enhancement of normal individuals is an inevitability. Marc Andreessen is a Silicon Valley tycoon who has founded several multi-billion dollar tech companies including Mosaic (the first widely used web browser) and Netscape. He recently drew criticism from Salon magazine for a tweet storm on twitter that praised the god-like power of advancing technology. Salon ran the headline The tech industrys God complex is getting out of control. Andreessen tweeted I am firmly convinced many people are fundamentally underestimating the power and potential of these new superpowers in the years ahead. He continued, Combine modern bio, 3D printing, computingprosthetics exoskeletons; superpower: paralyzed to walk, disabled to abled, blind to see. Some scientists are predicting that getting chip implants will become mandatory due to overwhelming societal pressure. Cybernetics scientist Dr Mark Gasson told the Sydney Morning Herald that, Its not possible to interact in society today in any meaningful way, without having a mobile phone. I think human implants will go along a similar route. It will be such a disadvantage not to have the implant that it will essentially not be optional. A New Dark Age or Renaissance? Transhumanists, like political parties and religions, are broken into sects. There are distinct groups within the transhumanist movement that differ on how radical technologies should be employed, but both embrace the core ideals of transhumanism. There are so called libertarian transhumanists who believe that revolutionary technologies should be used for the good of mankind. Billionaire businessmen Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are among the ranks of this group. They are engaging in RD on synthetic biology, space exploration, artificial islands (with the goal of escaping government interference), and actively support the Singularity Institute. The industrial revolution and all of its technological advancements spawned dozens of communities that sought to live out Utopian ideas in response to new issues caused by the revolution. The industrial revolution will pale in comparison to the coming era of transhumanism and the Singularity. Interests that represent the power structure which historically seeks to perpetuate itself and dominate everything else are actively investing in and researching these technologies as well; but with a different goal in mind. Money and power will have a significant influence in how the era of Singularity develops. Gaping societal divides will inevitably ensue over the development of these technologies.Fred Charles Ikle, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy under President Reagan, outlines this divide in his 2006 book Annihilation from Within. Ikle writes, The prospect is that in the decades ahead, biotechnology together with other sciences may fundamentally change the human species and thus pose an elemental threat to democracy, the world order, and indeed to all civilizations. The broader geopolitical, technological and economic shape of the future is being molded by current trends and power plays by the establishment. We are facing a situation where governments are going broke, globalist influences have broken down national borders, and non-governmental organizations, tax exempt foundations and mega corporations are filling the gap. In the coming era, mega coporations will provide advanced technology to their constituents and thus gain loyalty in their own unique sectors of society. As we stray away from broken governments to provide security and prosperity, these entities will take the reigns.According to futurists Parag and Ayesha Khanna, Analysts writing in the 2008 U.S. Army War College paper Leadership in the Era of the Human Singularity portray a future in which multiple scenarios are possible. One sees a new renaissance and unprecedented human development aided by technology, the other envisions a new dark age of world-wide high tech totalitarian control. In the paper, Dr. Barton Kunstler documents the impact of ESIs (Enhanced Singular Individuals). These people are augmented with performance enhancing technologies like brain chips. Kunstler states, We are in a war of ideas right now. If there were ever a time for activism and involvement in the direction of society, it is now. How will we deal with technologies that will intrude into our bodies and minds? Will a tyrannical global elite as envisioned by papers published by the United Kingdoms Ministry Defense, Army War College and others dominate the globe in a technocratic scientific dictatorship? Ultimately it is up to individuals and the choices we make. The ideasphere of the future is being shaped now. Elites around the world are keenly aware of the importance of the historical time we are living in, and the media promotion of transhumanism is beginning to prepare us. Awareness of these issues is a critical step. Only then do you have choice. Should our progress be measured by the power of our technology, or something else? A highly technological society is not necessarily free. A more prudent test of progress is the amount of liberty that we enjoy. No matter how much science and technology attempt to tame nature, alter our bodies and forever change the human race in an attempt to cheat death, risk and uncertainty will always be present. In striving for these things we may end up destroying the human spirit, and a power hungry elite is more than willing to help us along.

1	Providing a definitive explanation as to how and why early humans evolved away from their closest primate relatives, researchers at the Arizona State University Institute of Human Origins presented findings Tuesday confirming that our species first ancestors began to climb down from trees to retrieve snacks they had dropped. Anatomical evidence from the 6-million-year-old fossilized remains of Sahelanthropus peinawhich was unearthed earlier this year in South Africa and is now believed to be the last common ancestor shared by chimpanzees and modern humanssuggests that the animal frequently descended from the jungle canopy to retrieve delicious morsels that it fumbled from its pudgy hands due to inattention, overeager eating, or a loosening grasp as it dozed off after a meal. According to scientists, it was this snack-retrieval instinct that gradually shaped the tree-dwelling hominid into the modern terrestrial Homo sapiens. For decades, weve speculated as to what caused our ancestors to evolve beyond their arboreal kin, and now we know for certain that it was all due to these proto-humans dropping snacks from their grease-covered fingers and then having to climb down out of the trees to get them back, said anthropologist Gerald Dupuis, who noted that the fossilized specimens advanced tooth wear suggests repeated snacking on various salty and sweet treats, while its bone structure showed it to be significantly overweight. We can say with confidence that nearly every subsequent adaptation in our species history was a product of our earliest relatives holding something appetizing to eat, accidentally letting go of it, and then having to will themselves to go pick it up. No other evolutionary leap has had such a profound effect on humankinds development, he added. According to Dupuis, everything humans have accomplished as a speciesfrom colonizing every corner of the planet, to building the Colosseum, to walking on the surface of the mooncan be traced back to that first human forebear sweating and breathing heavily as it struggled down a tree trunk to recover a snack that it considered too tasty to let just lie there on the forest floor. Before the emergence of the earliest humans, Dupuis said, if one of humankinds primate ancestors had been spending a long afternoon snacking and a treat slipped from its hand, the animal was content to let it go and continue lying supine on a tree branch. However, he explained that at some point in the Miocene epoch, after dropping what scientists believe must have been a particularly delicious treat, one of the hominids realized that if it wished to continue snacking, it would have to come down from the tree, wander out onto the savanna, pick the morsel up, and put it back in its moutha behavior which, when first carried out, initiated the human lineage. Dupuis stated that this desire to keep snacking was the impetus for several other key adaptations, including the increased brain size and cognitive capabilities that are the hallmarks of Homo sapiens. According to the anthropologist, once our early relatives realized they couldnt reach their dropped snacks simply by extending their arms, they began gradually developing the ability to form abstract thoughtsincluding planning, problem-solving, projecting into the future, and evaluating alternative optionsas they grasped the notion that if they did not retrieve the snack, they could not continue to experience its delicious taste. Moreover, complex human emotions, from regret to longing to a desire for remediation, are also said to have begun emerging as humans began to reflect on the snacks they dropped. It is believed that the earliest rudiments of language also came about at this same moment in evolutionary history, with hominid vocalizations first beginning to carry meaning in terms of simple, crude complaints at having just lost ones grip on a particularly desirable piece of food, Dupuis said. These irritated, monosyllabic howls gradually became more sophisticated, developing into a vocabulary used to more fully express frustration at having dropped a snack, and eventually as a means of requesting a little help from other primates on lower branches in grabbing the treats that had slipped from their hands. Humans today still make grunts very similar to those of our first ancestors when we drop our own snacks, Dupuis added. The hominids final shift to becoming an exclusively ground-dwelling species is said to have occurred roughly 5 million years ago when, bloated and logy after having finished the snacks they had retrieved, they looked to the trees, realized what a hassle it would be to climb all the way back up there, and opted instead to take a nap on the ground. 
3	NRA, ACLU Lawsuit: NSA Spying Creates Gun Registry and Chills SpeechMassive data collection could be used to identify gun owners, target 2nd Amendment advocates and intimidate participation in politics. The National Rifle Association (NRA), the nations largest 2nd Amendment organization, joined the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in a lawsuit levied against the National Security Agency (NSA) demanding an end to their extensive surveillance program on Americans with the NRA concerned about how data collected on gun owners can create a de facto national gun registry. The Amicus Brief filed by the ACLU formally names several officials involved in the spying apparatus, including Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, NSA chief Keith Alexander, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, Attorney General Eric Holder and FBI director Robert Mueller. The Hill reported: Under the governments reading of Section 215, the government could simply demand the periodic submission of all firearms dealers transaction records, then centralize them in a database indexed by the buyers names for later searching, the NRA writes. The group claims that Congress could never have meant to authorize such a vast surveillance operation because it has repeatedly rejected proposals to create a national gun registry. The NRAs brief also claims that the phone record program violates its members First Amendment rights to associate and communicate freely. The group argues that people could fear retribution for associating with the gun-rights group if they knew the government was monitoring their phone records. The NRA and ACLU insist that the mass surveillance program threatens the First Amendment rights of the NRA and its members, citing the 1958 NAACP case against the State of Alabama, where the Supreme Court recognized that the involuntary disclosure of the membership of advocacy groups can inhibits First Amendment rights of members. The mass surveillance program could allow identification of NRA members, supporters, potential members, and other persons with whom the NRA communicates, potentially chilling their willingness to communicate with the NRA. Moreover, due to modern data analysis techniques, and the risk of public disclosure, the plaintiff parties argue, even government agencies with the best of intentions could inadvertently infringe upon or hinder First Amendment rights, thus heightening concerns about the NSAs surveillance program. These mass data collection practices which obviously include warrantless targeted monitoring also threaten the 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms, according to the lawsuit. With reference to the 1968 Gun Control Act, which the NRA controversially supported, it notes that the Congress has recognized that government record keeping on gun owners inhibits the exercise of Second Amendment rights. The NRA and ACLU brief calls for an injunctions, arguing that both 1st Amendment and 2nd Amendment rights are threatened and could be easily violated (in addition to the blatant and ongoing violations of the 4th Amendment: The mass surveillance program raises both issues, potentially providing the government not only with the means of identifying members and others who communicate with the NRA and other advocacy groups, but also with the means of identifying gun owners without their knowledge or consent [emphasis added] Such violations are more than just theoretical; they are concerns reflecting the known behavior of the current administration. Targeting Guns, Obama Has Ordered Massive Data Collection The Obama Administration has made its intentions of challenging gun rights quite clear, attempting to push several restrictive policies, including a thus-far failed attempt to introduce anew assault weapons ban through Congress, while claiming in rhetoric that it didnt seek a national registry. Despite this, President Obama has issued now at least 25 executive orders (23 of which were issued in the wake of Sandy Hook) to close loopholes and encourage more stringent background checks and clarify the rights of medical professionals on asking their patients about guns in the home and mental health status inquiries. Still other executive orders pertain towards streamlining and centralizing databases about gun owners while improv[ing] incentives for states to share information with the background check system. All this will only accelerate with the implementation of ObamaCare. These actions become even more troubling when you consider the scandal that broke over the I.R.S. admissions that it unfairly targeted Tea Party protesters and other advocacy groups for their political stances. According to reports in Bloomberg News: The extra IRS scrutiny was given to organizations seeking tax exempt status if they had tea party or patriot in their name. Further, such targeting reportedly did not stop even after widespread public disclosure and Congressional hearings. Attorney General Eric Holder, named in the surveillance lawsuit filed by the NRA and ACLU, has also come under fire for allegedly targeting for prosecution journalists who report on leaks. Holder has denied this in testimony concerning the case of Fox News correspondent James Rosen, who was effectively threatened with violations of the Espionage Act; Holder argued not over whether the reporter was targeted, but that actual prosecution was never seriously considered. A House Report on the Justice Departments leak investigations chastised Holders rationales. The report stated: We take little comfort in Mr. Holders assurances to us now that the Department never intended to prosecute Mr. Rosen when it labeled him a criminal suspect in 2010. Tarnishing a journalist as a suspect in a national security investigation is not something that should be taken lightly. Espionage is a serious federal crime, punishable by up to a decade in prison. In essence, the Justice Department dangled Mr. Rosen over a cliff. But the American people were then assured by Mr. Holder that this was appropriate because there was never a potential of him falling to his doom. As the NRA and ACLU argue in their case, a chilling effect on free speech which the IRS and Justice Department examples cited above clearly constitute is indeed a violation of the First Amendment. Even where the First Amendment is not outright prohibited, there is a clear case of abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble where groups or individuals are intimidated or put through red tape because of their advocacy positions. The lawsuit cites the 1963 case Gibson v. Florida Legislative Investigation Comm. in which the Supreme Court ruled that a subpoenaed witness could not be forced to give up the membership list of an organization in arguing that political effectiveness could be drastically reduced if mass surveillance programs are allowed to have a chilling effect on communications between the NRA and its followers. With NSA surveillance casting an extremely wide and almost ubiquitous net, this could apply to anyone, not just gun owners, the case argues, stating, These concerns are not unique to the NRA, but could apply equally with respect to the plaintiffs, or to any other or organization that takes controversial stands on public issues. Again, this issue is NOT only important to those in favor of gun rights or those opposed to the Obama Administration policies; to the contrary, if these practices are allowed to stand or grow other groups will be targeted as well by subsequent administrations, and the political dimensions could be flipped or skewed to unfairly spy upon and intimidate Democrats, liberals, anarchists, etc. And that would be discrimination by the very government that is explicitly supposed to be restrained by the Bill of Rights most assuredly by the 1st, 2nd and 4th Amendments which are meant to guarantee free expression and advocacy, the right to keep and bear arms (even against a tyrannical government, by the way) and the right to privacy and due process if search is to occur based upon evidence, probable cause and a warrant issued based upon a (named not secret) witness and specific items to be found.

1	Following Pope Benedict XVIs announcement that he will resign the papacy at the end of the month, a group of cardinals reportedly hosted a going-away party for the pontiff at his favorite Vatican City dive bar, The Empty Chalice, on Thursday night. Ratzys had a wild ride for the past eight years, and me and the guys figured there was no better way to send him off in style than a night out at the Chalice, a visibly intoxicated Cardinal Bishop Angelo Sodano said of the celebration at the dingy, no-frills watering hole, which sources said is renowned for its 2 shot specials and is reportedly stumbling distance from the 85-year-old pontiffs private quarters at the Apostolic Palace. This is our usual after-work spot and weve had a lot of rowdy times here, so tonight might get a little out of control. Hey, they dont call this place Puke-arist for nothing! At press time, Benedict and his archdiocese heads had reportedly been ejected from the bar for harassing a group of young boys at the other end of the bar. 
2	Business Owner Gets Payback After Ferguson Race Rioters Vandalize Her Bakery [VIDEO] Can you imagine working so hard for so long to achieve your dream, for it to come crashing down in an instant? Unfortunately for an owner of a Ferguson bakery this is exactly what happened when she had her small business destroyed during the violent riots that broke out after the grand jurys announcement that they would not indict Officer Darren Wilson. Its really sad, because they didnt just affect us, they affected our children, a lot of us, this is our only means of income, our businesses. Said Natalie Dubose. Natalies Cakes More is situated at100 S. Florissant Road in Ferguson. There was actually an eyewitness there. He actually lives in one of the buildings next to my cake shop, and he witnessed a few of the protesters attempting three different times to bust my windows out, DuBose said to FOX 2. According to The Daily Caller trespassers smashed the shops main windows and broke the baking supplies late Monday and early Tuesday. Ive invested everything into my business, I cant go anywhere. Im not going to go anywhere, said DuBose Well thanks to some very compassionate and giving citizens, that arent just feeling bad about the horrible riots that ensued in St. Louis, Missouri this past week she wont have to. They are taking action by donating to repair Duboses bakery. A GoFundMe campaign has raised over $90,000. She will have enough to rebuild and start fresh. She posted this message on her GoFundMe website to say thanks for the overwhelming support and generosity she has been receiving: Hello, Im Natalie Dubose of Ferguson, Missouri. Im a small business owner with a cake shop and a bakery dream. First, I would thank everyone for their warm wishes, empathy, and support during this crazy difficult time. I would love to write more, and will try soon, but my business is so behind right now. My shop, which had its grand opening this summer was vandalized in the riots. My main windows were smashed and bakery damaged. Im beside myself, but with the holidays, cant stop working. Im very Natalie Dubose, is just one of the many small business owners that are dealing with the aftermath of the terrifying riots that erupted on Monday. She is picking herself up and working hard to pull through, thanks to the help of caring Americans. Lets show our support not only for Natalie but for all those other hard working small business owners as well. 
3	Pandemic Fears Feed the Vaccine IndustryJane Brgermeister Yet again, the people of the world are facing the monolithic threat of a mass vaccination campaign with a pandemic vaccine now proven beyond a doubt to cause harm. In 2011, the danger of a new pandemic emergency declaration was increased when Big Pharma was allowed to get significant control of the WHO pandemic virus warning system. In a clear conflict of interest, Big Pharma is now in a perfect position to hype a new virus and also call for speedy vaccinations which the drugs companies also stand to profit the most from. In 2009, Baxter created a similar type of deadly bioweapon when it contaminated 72 kilos of the transmissible seasonal flu with the deadly bird flu virus in its biosecurity level 3 facilities in Orth an der Donau and sent it to 16 labs in four countries. A police investigation was halted in September 2009 just before a mass pandemic vaccination campaign with a vaccine now confirmed by the governments of Ireland, Sweden, Finland and Norway to have caused narcolepsy. In spite of the scandal, the world is facing the same national pandemic plans. Once more we are facing forced vaccination with the same toxic jab and quarantine.

3	Urban Farmers Targeted By City, Issued Multiple Threats After Their Property Was VandalizedBy Claire Bernish Though the Henrys complied with the code, albeit a bit late due to a prohibitive financial situation, an opportunistic code enforcer triggered a chain of events no law-abiding property owner should ever be subjected to including the possibility their property may be raided by Oklahoma County Sheriffs under a blanket warrant in direct violation of the Fourth Amendment. According to a GoFundMe page set up to assist the familys legal battle against the City, their low-income neighborhood typically experiences an outbreak of vandalism each spring which the city promptly cleans up to discourage other vandals from copying. But a startling change in city code placed the onus of responsibility for covering up vandals handiwork on property owners, essentially victimizing them twice particularly for Charles and Julie who dont have room in their budget to afford paint. And, as expected when spring came this year, the Henrys privacy fence became a canvas for vandals. This time, however, the Henrys realized theyd run out of paint and had to buy more which, due to budgetary reasons, took longer than expected. During the week it took the family to procure paint, a city code enforcement inspector performing the annual sweep cited the Henrys for the violation and demand the graffiti be covered. But the inspector didnt stop there using his camera as a periscope, he peered behind the privacy fence and noted other minor violations of city ordinance and cited the Henrys for each one. Confronted by this blatant invasion of privacy, the inspector falsely claimed the right of easement allowed him onto the familys property. Knowing that claim didnt hold weight, Charles rightly told the code enforcer a warrant would be necessary for inspections and photographs and though the inspector left immediately, he forked over the lengthy list of violations. As proven in time-stamped pictures which appear on the GoFundMe page, the Henrys complied with the order to paint the fence in less than a month, but responded to the additional violations with an appropriately-annotated list of U.S. Supreme Court rulings showing Fourth Amendment reasons the case had no merit demanding the city not proceed to enforce the inspectors citations. Two months without any response from the City, and the Henrys were never summoned to appear in Municipal Court. But it became clear the City simply ignored the legitimate, legal rebuttal of the citations when it filed the matter with Oklahoma County District Court, inaccurately claiming they supplied a written refusal to comply and falsely stating they failed to address any of the citations, including that the fence was never painted. As Steve Dickson, who started the GoFundMe page for the Henrys, explained, Based on the lie that the graffiti was never abated, the City is asking the District Court for a Writ of Assistance to enter the Henrys property by force of the Oklahoma County Sheriff and is asking for what is in essence a General Warrant to search the property for compliance of cited issues and for discovery of further issues. Think about that for a moment. Graffiti on a fence seems to give the city the idea that they have the right to invade private property on a witch hunt for more code violations by which they can fine, force removal of private property or jail the property owner under the protection of the county Sheriffs office. In its egregious, overly aggressive attempt to extort money and invade personal property under the protection of a gun and a badge, the City is acting no better than a common thug or, perhaps more accurately, as an organized criminal. Charles, who is disabled, has also endured a long and debilitating illness, while Julie, who had been the familys only source of income for eight years, is now partially disabled after being seriously injured in a car accident in April 2015. Though theyve managed to scrape by solely on the goodwill of friends and family, the Henrys obviously werent prepared to pay attorneys fees for a case that never should have gone this far. But the family remains active in other ways. The Free Thought Projects own Lance Stolz spoke with Charles and Julie Henry in May of 2016, during the annual March Against Monsanto in Oklahoma City. The couple both gave speeches regarding sustainable living, gardening, and freedom. As Stolz explained: Charles Henry spoke with me at the march. He describes himself as a Voluntaryist, and was passionate about his YouTube channel where he documents how he makes homemade guns. Julie Henry is a sweet woman, just as passionate about personal liberty and incredibly knowledgeable about gardening. Charles and Julie Henry are due to appear in District Court on July 28. With the city bullying the family into an expensive battle over a fence theyd always intended to paint which they did the Henrys are being unjustly victimized by the State because a vandal happened to choose their fence to deface. Worse, Charles attempt to stand up in his own defense under the Constitution likely didnt even occur to others in the same position meaning an untold number of families have been forced to pay the city for unconstitutionally created citations. These victimless offenses that Oklahoma City and undoubtedly many others around the nation enforces against low-income, otherwise law-abiding citizens do only two things effectively: generate revenue and create victims where none should be. Unfortunately, as the citys actions prove, knowing your rights doesnt necessarily guarantee the State the thug government will comply. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Try talking to the mayor and city councilman.this is unjust Often it is the city council and/or mayor who are the culprits. City council was most likely the ones who made the unjust law to begin with. These people may need to sue their city for the abusive treatment. And just who shall be footing the bill??? countersue the city, city council, county, and compliance officer in civil court. Seek damages in the millions. If nothing else these morons need to know they cant push citizens around!!! They chose to live in a God forsaken city in an even worse God forsaken state. Unfortunately they deserve what they get. Were they able to see the Finicum assassination in Oregon? Ranchers are being hassled, abused big time and a few ranchers went to Oregon to support another rancher and there were HUNDREDS of FBI, LEOS and nothing at all with which to charge these militia dudes that didnt break a single law. Seriously. There was an ambush set up where these people on their way to talk to 400+ people about the constitution were blocked and the FEDS shot the one, charismatic, intelligent, educated man from Arizona3 x and killed this guy. Periscoping a camera over the fence is one thing, but some cities are resorting to aerial photography to see what violations are visible on larger properties. Its all about power and money. This isnt about the city, the law, the legal system or suing the bastards. The government is step by step creating the next revolution. Its unfortunate, its sad and we continue to pray for peace, but right now its going in the other direction. God help our nation!

2	Putin Makes Fun Of Allah In Speech [VIDEO] While Obama insists on defending Islam to the core, Vladimir Putin is not afraid to criticize the religion that is sparking violence throughout the world. He has not taken Turkeys actions of shooting down his military aircraft at the end of November lightly. Now, he claims that Russia is looking into placing more sanctions on the nation. We are not planning to engage in military saber-rattling, Putin argued. But if anyone thinks that having committed this awful war crime, the murder of our people, they are going to get away with some measures concerning their tomatoes or some limits on construction and other sectors, they are sorely mistaken. All in all, dear colleagues, I do not understand why they did this, Putin claimed. Perhaps only Allah knows. It appears that Allah decided to punish the ruling clique of Turkey by depriving them of wisdom and judgment, he continued, in the joke that has since sparked outrage in the Muslim community. What do you think of Putins comment? 
1	According to a study released Monday by the Texas Dental Association, four out of five dentists in the Lone Star State advocate the use of capital punishment. 'About 80 percent of the dentists surveyed recommend brushing three times daily, regular dental check-ups, and death by lethal injection should a prisoner be found guilty of homicide in a court of law,' TDA spokeswoman Stacy Gunderson said. 'Simply putting criminals in hard-to-reach places isn't enough of a deterrent. Rinsing the scum out of death row is vital for the long-term health of this state.' Gunderson then called for justice, and plenty of all-natural sugar-free snacks, to be served. 
2	Kid Rock And His Personal Assistant Were Involved In A DEADLY Accident Kid Rock sent his personal assistant, Michael Sacha, to escort two friends to an uber that was out front of his estate. Kid Rock and his assistant had been driving around on ATVs all day, and so Kid told his friend to use one of the ATVs to perform the task. Kid and his assistant thought nothing of it, but this would be the last time Kid Rock would see his good friend alive. While driving back to the residents Michael Sacha crashed the ATV and was flung off of the vehicle. This occurred around 12 a.m. at night. Sacha was found dead at 11:30 the next morning face down on the side of the road. Kid Rock was the one who had found him along the side of the road. Kid Rock made a frantic 911 call, but the operator said that he was devastated. https://soundcloud.com/tennessean/kid-rocks-911-call-after-discovering-his-assistants-body Kid Rock released a statement, I am beyond devastated to report that my personal assistant Mike Sacha passed away today in an ATV accident here in Nashville. He was a member of our family and one of the greatest young men I have ever had the pleasure to not only work with, but also to become friends with. I know I speak for us all in sharing my deepest condolences to his family. I can not imagine how they must feel. Myself, the band, our family, friends and co-workers are devastated over this loss. We were supposed to be back in Michigan today, but I am going to stay here with Mike until I can bring him home to his family. Weve already been contacted by the press asking if it was me who was in the accident, so I want to stop any rumors before they spread. Im asking everyone to please respect our and his families privacy in this difficult time. RIP Mike. We will never forget you, my friend. Will you pray for his family? 
3	Albuquerque Cops Who Killed Homeless Man Are Facing Murder ChargesBy Joshua Krause For the longest time it seemed like these officers would never face justice for what they did, but that may be about to change. Prosecutor Randi McGinn announced on Monday that she intends to charge the two officers with second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, and aggravated battery. The prosecution will lay out their evidence to a judge in August, who will decide if Perez and Sandy should be taken to court. Sandys defense attorney has since issued a statement defending his client: There is no justification for charging Keith Sandy with any crime. [Keith Sandy] was a police officer protecting a fellow officer when he shot a mentally unstable man wielding two knives. There is simply no criminal intent. While it may be his job to defend his client no matter what, somehow how I doubt that a jury will see it that way after watching the body cam footage of James Boyds death.

3	The US Government is Wiretapping WAY More Americans Than it Wants to AdmitBefore Edward Snowden released his notorious NSA leaks, national intelligence officials swore they were not spying on millions of innocent people. As they lied through their teeth, ongoing revelations embarrassingly exposed their dishonesty. Now, yet another deception has come to light, revealing that the government has once again lied about the extent of its invasive policies. Since the controversy surrounding NSA surveillance began, private companies that cooperate with the government have taken steps to regain the trust of their users. In addition to offering encrypted communications (at the dramatic behest of authorities), companies now issue transparency reports to show how many requests for information the government makes. Gidari explained that Further, he noted that while this disparity is monumental, it only accounts for the four companies that issue transparency reportsmeaning the difference between the governments claims and what it actually requested is even larger. Some companies, like Apple, have issued partial transparency reports while others have not made any effort at all. Some reports detail hundreds of thousands of requeststhough they are not specific to wiretaps, but overall government demands. This makes the exact difference between government truths and objective reality even harder to discern. Are wiretaps being consistently underreported to Congress and the public? Gidari asks. Based on the data reported by the four major carriers for 2013 and 2014, it certainly would appear to be the case. He told Ars Technica that we are still off by 30 percent even if all four carriers got the same order and it covered multiple devices. It is nothing new for the surveillance state to be dishonest about the severity of its policies. First, Director of Intelligence James Clapper lied about whether or not the program existed. Then, members of Congress lied about the effectiveness of steps taken to curb itsupporting, for example, the USA Freedom Actwhich did nothing but add a bureaucratic step to the process by which the state can access whatever user information it wants. Government proponents of these policies often inflate their value by falsely insisting that they help stop terrorism or that they must be able to access all information, at all times, in order to keep America safe from a plethora of nebulousand always chronicthreats. Ironically, many of the dangers that helped justify the growth of the monolithic surveillance state are fabricated, as well, from the fear-mongering inflicted after 9/11 that justified the Patriot Act and Iraq War to the increasingly laughable assertion that the governments goal is to preserve the safety of the American people. News that the state has once again used deception to elevate its image and power is unfortunately nothing but a predictable tool to justify oppression and encourage submission.

2	Russian Cruise Missiles Shot From The Mediterranean Kill 600 Members Of ISIS In One Airstrike [VIDEO] According to recent reports, the Russian military has launched cruise missiles against Islamic State locations in Syria from both the Mediterranean and Caspian seas. One attack alone is believed to have killed over 600 terrorists, according to Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu. The warships of the Caspian Fleet launched 18 cruise missiles at seven targets in the provinces of Raqqa, Idlib and Aleppo, he reported to President Vladimir Putin. All targets were hit successfully. In total, there were 10 warships taking part in the operation. ISIS/ISIL has been taking major hits as a result of the attacks, according to Shoigu, who claims that data on the ground shows that the flow of terrorists arriving in Syria has decreased and more and more militants are fleeing the warzone to head north and south-west. Over the past few weeks, Russian air forces have conducted 522 sorties, and deployed more than 100 cruise missiles and 1,400 tons of bombs of various types. We stopped supplies of 60,000 tons of oil per day to the black market and terrorists are losing $1.5 million daily, Shoigu continued. They have also reportedly destroyed 23 jihadist training camps, 19 plants producing explosives, 47 ammunition depots, as well as many other targets. We have a lot of evidence that Russian airstrikes are effective, Syrian Brigadier General Ali Maihub told reporters. Russian mass airstrikes did irreparable damage to international terrorist organizations in Syria, disrupted their administration and financing systems and destroyed their bases and depots. At the moment, there is no plan for offensive action on the ground. What do you think? Do you support Russia going after ISIS? 
3	Major Bank Official: Banks Are Preparing for an Economic Nuclear WinterBy Matt Agorist In June of 2015, former Congressman Ron Paul predicted that these crutches would fail, and the financial bubbles created by them would send the stock market into a free-fall. The consequences will not be minor. Surprises will be many, since we are in uncertain waters and the world has never faced the gross misallocation of capital that exists today. The process is self-limiting. It will come to an end, and its not going to be far into the future. Now, as chaos in the EU and weak corporate earnings create a tornado of uncertainty, banks are preparing for the worst. According to CNBC quoting a major lender, banks are preparing for an economic nuclear winter situation. The chaos in the market has major bank officials running for the hills. According to CNBC,European banks, in particular, have had a very tough six months as the shock and volatility around Brexit sent banking stocks south. Major European banks like Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse saw their shares in free-fall after the referendums results were announced. In the U.K., RBS was the worst-hit, with its shares plunging by more than 30 percent since June 24. On Sunday, a source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, due to the fact that revealing this information can get bankers killed, a source from a major investment bank told CNBC that financial services firms have put together a strategy in place that takes into account the worst-case scenario that could happen by the end of this year. This could mean triggering Article 50, referendum in other European nations leading to a break-up of the euro or sterling hitting below $1.20 or lower. The banks are ready for anything now, the source said. This grim warning comes afterthe Royal Bank of Scotland has warned its investors of a cataclysmic year.In an eerily ominous note to its clientsearly this year, the megabank predicted another worse case scenario. Sell everything except high quality bonds. This is about return of capital, not return on capital. In a crowded hall, exit doors are small. In the note, RBSs credit chief Andrew Roberts told investors how Quantitative Easing has failed and was expected to fail. We have been told for 7 years now since the credit crunch, under QE, to borrow money and invest it in one of 3 things: 1) EM 2) credit 3) global equities. This is a big picture, multi-year bet that has been taken, which has worked fine, and stopped working 10 months ago, (this is NOT NEW). As the Guardians Larry Elliott points out: Markets have been supported for some time by low-interest rates, stimulus measures from central banks including quantitative easing, and hopes of economic recovery. But with the Federal Reserve raising rates and the Bank of England expected to follow suit, that prop is being removed. Those who pay attention to the effects of central bankers looting their respective countries have long pointed out the mathematical certainty that is an economic collapse. The collapse of global markets is inevitable as it is a natural correction to the wholesale fleecing of the citizens through the unscrupulous actions of central banks. Ron Paul sums up the situation perfectly: The credit and new money, when created by a central bank, is delivered to the market in a political fashion for which the one percent receive special benefits. It allows the pyramiding of debt to fractional reserve banking, which compounds the long-term problems. It may be fun while it lasts, but it always ends with a crash.

He is an honorably discharged veteran of the USMC and former intelligence operator directly tasked by the NSA. This prior experience gives him unique insight into the world of government corruption and the American police state. Agorist has been an independent journalist for over a decade and has been featured on mainstream networks around the world. Follow @MattAgorist Last year after a global economic meeting of national government reps we learned that the new economic system (essentially represented by Agenda 2030) being rolled out is going to see an infusion of $90 Trillion dollars of capital a tiny example being the Saudis investing billions in Uber. This shift also involves a massive privatization scheme taking place all over the world, recent examples include the Saudis selling off state owned assets and Russians doing the same (oil and diamond mines). QE can continue without creating massive inflation IF deflationary measures are also taken, e.g. the engineered sharp drop in oil prices. However, we have the Fed calling for more inflation and Bankster Larry Summer plotting ways to stoke inflation. These harbingers do not equate to large scale collapse or stock market crash, instead, these signs hint at TRANSFORMATION (think shell game) and slow motion inflationary depression bringing on the elites desired 2030 austerity and greater dependence on government handouts. Nice Try, but heads are going roll big time as this central bankster circus comes to an end. I hope youre right!! Many predicted the banksters comeuppance on the way to the 2008 banking crisisunfortunately, the only change was the banksters centralized their system even more. BTW, I mentioned Summers because hes always been at the forefront of big policy shifts including the repeal of Glass Steagall, end of cash, rise of Bitcoin and digital/crypto currencies, global emergence of negative interest rates, privatization of public assets, etc. Youre exactly right, but this time around lots of people got it figured out, and most important, lots have burned through their reserves and are beginning to hurt. I understand, friend, and completely agree, in fact, Im sure thats why TPTB crashed the price of oil, as a pressure venting mechanism aimed at the struggling working and middle classes. How else to keep the plebs from outright revolt as housing and health care costs soar to the stratosphere? TPTB have already set their pins up for the next sweep preparing for a bigger shift towards austerity / squeezing. Inflationary recession, largely boiling frogs style. Theres a bribery aspect too, the floating of debt jubilees, basic income, increases in entitlement payouts, targeted tax cuts (and tax increases on the wealthy?), Hillarys free college tuition, etc. The emergence of the 2030 paradigm of austerity and restructuring in Saudi Arabia has been mostly seamless because there was a lot of wealth to begin with. I wonder if that is similar to what well experience in the west. Simple solution sovereign nations to create, issue and control through their treasuries, debt-free and interest-free money that is based on the nations credit and potential. Very simple! Been done before! Job done! Central banks and banking dynasties to be arrested and put before juries! Time to clean out the Augean Stables! The Rule of Law will prevail! Bingo! I love it! I think bringing back Glass-Steagall would also help. In the present fractional reserve lending system, drastically increasing the lending reserve would stop this Ponzi scheme of lending money on airpart of which is contributing the economic turmoil of our time. Your thoughts on this? Agree. In addition, shut down ALL Central Banks and deport ALL dual citizens. Its not revenge that motivates! its getting that 4 trillion dollar balance sheet ransom against future growth prospects away from the fed and under control again? You know, somewhere along the line this culture has got to stop with the we must move on rhetoric. Seriously. Look at what moving on has gotten us. Has moving on crushed the privately owned/Fractionalized banking of the FED RES and its private collection agency the IRS? Has it stopped our legislative/executive judicial branches from ripping our constitution and this nation to shreds? If the thought of, as you call it, revenge is too harsh for you, why not simply call it justice? This Sewer Nations evil government has cost literally millions of lives, our infrastructure like 25th over all in developed nations etc. I am tired of moving on, I want to see heads roll, real live prison sentences in real live prisons, (general population?), and public executions of the guilty, not we the people at the hands of Israeli trained L.E. Raid the Eccles building lynch the governors turn the balance sheet over to social security. The fed balance sheet pays everyone 2 grand a month as a base salary and persons could still work just not to survive! Global chaos, (again), theft of sovereignty, (again), huge loss of life, (again), all merrily brought to us by the synagogue, their Judas Class in D.C. and their Central Banks.. (again). Ill tell you what. If it was myself in that oval office and in-charge Id personally invite all the major banking leaders in this country into my office for a luncheon where Id tell each and every one of them that IF the banking system does implode, Ill personally deploy and direct the US Homeland Security people to find and arrest each and everyone of these criminals whod have a price on their heads, declare them financial terrorists and throw them into the deepest darkest dungeon I could find until theyd come around tomy way of thinking. If that didnt work quick enough Id then show them my new printing press where we now issue US Govt notes instead of Federal Reserve notes similar to what Kennedy was doing when he was gunned down in Dallas in 1963 some say for doing this very thing Before you took your first bite, youd take a direct hit right between the eyes. Dude, these people are playing for keeps, this isnt a debating society. well thanks Matt for your speculation based on NO investigative journalism but relying on CNBC and the Guardian. Great sources for reliable information. Keep up the good work and get back to us when you have the ability to provide us some reliable and revealing information. You are owned by the fed and if something were to happen ( fed giving john q. A chance to buy zero coupon bonds backed by its balance sheet) you will be required to finance its war against real money! Run for your lives.the sky is falling.the sky is falling!!! lmao

1	Showing the discerning eye and patient bat that have become his hallmark, the Red Sox' Kevin Youkilis pushed a third-inning at bat to a six-and-five count before finally working a walk on Tuesday. 'That 5-4 pitch was tough, but in that spot I'm looking for something to drive,' said Youkilis, who was down 0-3 in the count before taking the next five pitches for balls. 'My job there is to make the starter work, so I usually just take the first eight pitches or so to give myself an idea of what he's got to offer. Then I try to foul off another 10 or so to get his pitch count way up. A lot of people say the most important pitch is strike one, but I've always found it to be strike seven. Because at that point you're only three pitches away from strike 10.' Despite the walk, Youkilis was cut down on the base paths trying to steal fourth base. 
3	Consciousness Becoming Less Taboo Subject for ScientistsResearchers advocate for more scientific research on consciousness Why does a relentless stream of subjective experiences normally fill your mind? Maybe thats just one of those mysteries that will always elude us. Yet, research from Northwestern University suggests that consciousness lies well within the realm of scientific inquiry as impossible as that may currently seem. Although scientists have yet to agree on an objective measure to index consciousness, progress has been made with this agenda in several labs around the world. The debate about the neural basis of consciousness rages because there is no widely accepted theory about what happens in the brain to make consciousness possible, said Ken Paller, professor of psychology in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences and director of the Cognitive Neuroscience Program at Northwestern. Scientists and others acknowledge that damage to the brain can lead to systematic changes in consciousness. Yet, we dont know exactly what differentiates brain activity associated with conscious experience from brain activity that is instead associated with mental activity that remains unconscious, he said. In a new article, Paller and Satoru Suzuki, also professor of psychology at Northwestern, point out flawed assumptions about consciousness to suggest that a wide range of scientific perspectives can offer useful clues about consciousness. Its normal to think that if you attentively inspect something you must be aware of it and that analyzing it to a high level would necessitate consciousness, Suzuki noted. Results from experiments on perception belie these assumptions. Likewise, it feels like we can freely decide at a precise moment, when actually the process of deciding begins earlier, via neurocognitive processing that does not enter awareness, he said. If these and other similar assumptions are incorrect, the researchers state in their article, then mistaken reasoning might be behind arguments for taking the science of consciousness off the table. Neuroscientists sometimes argue that we must focus on understanding other aspects of brain function, because consciousness is never going to be understood, Paller said. On the other hand, many neuroscientists are actively engaged in probing the neural basis of consciousness, and, in many ways, this is less of a taboo area of research than it used to be. Experimental evidence has supported some theories about consciousness that appeal to specific types of neural communication, which can be described in neural terms or more abstractly in computational terms. Further theoretical advances can be expected if specific measures of neural activity can be brought to bear on these ideas. Paller and Suzuki both conduct research that touches on consciousness. Suzuki studies perception, and Paller studies memory. They said it was important for them to write the article to counter the view that it is hopeless to ever make progress through scientific research on this topic. They outlined recent advances that provide reason to be optimistic about future scientific inquiries into consciousness and about the benefits that this knowledge could bring for society. For example, continuing research on the brain basis of consciousness could inform our concerns about human rights, help us explain and treat diseases that impinge on consciousness, and help us perpetuate environments and technologies that optimally contribute to the well being of individuals and of our society, the authors wrote. They conclude that research on human consciousness belongs within the purview of science, despite philosophical or religious arguments to the contrary. Their paper, The Source of Consciousness, has been published online in the journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences. NORTHWESTERN NEWS: http://www.northwestern.edu/newscenter/ 
2	Schools Now Teaching THIS In Order To Make Christianity Go Away In A Generation Recently, Lawrence M. Krauss, cosmologist and theoretical physicist, made the claim that religion could be largely removed or eradicated from society in a single generation. Krauss also believes that children should only be taught about faith in schools one way, and that religious systems should not treat students as if theyre all scared. Instead, he argued for a religion course based in critical thinking. What we need to do is present comparative religion as a bunch of interesting historical anecdotes and show the silly reasons why they each did what they did, Krauss told the audience at a Victorian Skeptics Caf in Australia. Instead of shying away from it, we have to explicitly educate people to confront their own misconceptions. Krauss went on to cite gay marriage and slavery as examples that back his claim that religion could be eliminated in one generation. People say, Well, religion has been around since the dawn of man. Youll never change that, Krauss told his audience. This issue of gay marriage, it is going to go away, because if youre a child, a 13-year-old, they cant understand what the issue is. Its gone. One generation is all it takes. Change is always one generation away. So if we can plant the seeds of doubt in our children, religion will go away in a generation, or at least largely go awayand thats what I think we have an obligation to do. What do you think of Krauss claims? Would you want your child being taught doubt? 
2	Teacher Fired For Wishing Obama Would Get Ebola, Muslims Are Evil [VIDEO] According to recent reports, a third grade teacher in Houston, Texas was forced to resign after controversial comments she made about President Obama and Muslims. Cant Ebola just take one for the team and take out Obama? Asked Angela Box, a teacher appearing on the local political TV show Tommys Garage. In another episode, Box deemed Muslims the evil of the world and referred to them as goat f**kers and bacon haters. Shortly after appearing on the show, the teachers comments went public. She was forced to deal with the school board and resign. Boxs resignation was unanimously approved by the school board. In a statement to the Houston Chronicle, Box maintained that she is not a racist. What do you think about this teachers resignation? 
1	The Brewers' playoff push has run afoul of an unusual distraction, as sources close to the organization confirm that newly acquired husky starting pitcher C.C. Sabathia and sizable power-hitting first baseman Prince Fielder continue to visualize one another as a 6'7' chili cheese dog and a 260-pound hamburger with all the trimmings, respectively. Team insiders say the problem has become a serious disruption, with numerous incidences of each player tying a bib around his neck, holding a knife and fork in their outstretched hands, and chasing the other around the ballpark. 'I should have noticed something was wrong weeks ago, when Prince, who has always had a certain fascination with the sausage races, expressed delight that we had 'signed Cleveland's huge chili cheese dog' and welcomed C.C. to the team by coating him liberally with celery salt and mustard,' said manager Ned Yost. 'And in his very first start, C.C. praised the way our 'great big hamburger' was hitting, and kept trying to pick off runners at first base by throwing ketchup and extra cheese to Prince.' Although both Fielder and Sabathia are major factors in the Brewer's playoff plans, their teammates admit that their recent displays of appetite have been a bit unnerving. 'Usually, the other players step in before one of them takes a bite out of the other,' said Brewers reliever David Riske. 'But the whole thing is pretty unsettling. Sabathia and I were getting our arms rubbed the other day, just kind of stretching them out across the massage table, when suddenly an empty jar of relish rolled by. I looked up, and Prince had put a huge hot dog bun and all the trimmings on Sabathia's arm when he wasn't paying attention. C.C. pulled himself out at the last minute, but when Prince's teeth came together, it made a chomping sound you could hear throughout the clubhouse.' Sabathia responded by chasing Fielder around the clubhouse with a pair of giant salt and pepper shakers. On Monday, Yost announced that any player who attempted to devour another, no matter how delicious they seemed to appear, would be subject to disciplinary action. However, like many disciplinary measures involving athletes, the decree seemed only to make those involved more cunning. 'I was using the hot tub to ease some soreness the other day with Prince, who had nodded off, when C.C. came in carrying these grocery bags,' said third baseman Bill Hall. 'I had just noticed that something smelled really good when I realized that C.C. was cutting up vegetables and throwing them in the hot tub with Prince, alongside plenty of noodles and spices, to make some sort of hamburger casserole.' Luckily, Fielder woke up before the mixture thickened and retaliated by attempting to trap Sabathia in the steam room along with a bag of mesquite-flavored grilling charcoal. 'This has to end,' Yost admitted to reporters as the Brewers readied themselves for a four-game series against St. Louis. 'We can't have players trying to eat one another, even in Milwaukee, so we're taking steps. We've already talked to both players, explaining that while they are big, they are not food. And as a provisional measure, we've gotten Ray Durham from the Giants in the hopes that both Prince and C.C. will think he's a giant ham and leave one another alone.' 
2	While The Obama Family Is On Vacation, Malia Is Doing THIS... You Will Be Sick As usual, the Obamas headed off to their 17-day luxury vacation in Marthas Vineyard this year. Only this time they headed off to their $12 million estate rental a few days earlyand someone was noticeably missing. Bloomberg reports that 17-year-old Malia did not join her family this year, as evidence by photographs showing only Barack, Michelle, and Sasha. It can maybe be assumed that Malia is still working her internship in New York, on the set of Lena Dunhams sex-fueled television show Girls. Michelle and Barack have already been immensely criticized for that, given the shows nudity and explicit scenes and languages. The cherry on top is that Dunham has admitted to molesting young girls. Of course, its possible that her internship has already come to a close, and shes off partying at a music festival or in LA, as shes also been known to do. What do you think? Are the Obamas as questionable as parents as they are as leaders? 
1	Though he has maintained a close friendship with both men for nearly a decade, Miles McCormick, 42, admitted Tuesday that the strain of managing tensions between the CEOs of Bounty and Brawny was becoming too much to bear. 'Every time I'm with one, all he wants to do is badmouth the other,' said McCormick, who recently spent an entire lunch numbly listening to accusations that Brawny had stolen the design for its new Country Market print from an almost identical Bounty product. 'He just went on and on about how the nation's so-called leading paper-towel manufacturer couldn't tell the difference between flex-quilting and a hole in the ground. I'm sick of it.' Exhausted by the endless backbiting, McCormick told his friends that until they worked out their differences, he'd be using rags. 
1	Jesus Christ, son of God and noted pro-life activist, killed two and critically wounded seven others when He opened fire in the waiting room of a Huntsville abortion clinic Tuesday. A U.S. Marshal leads Christ to a holding cell. Inset: One of the injured is loaded into an ambulance. Security guards at the Women's Medical Clinic of Huntsville were able to disarm the Messiah before He could reload His weapon, a secondhand Glock 9mm pistol that authorities said He purchased legally at a Jackson, MS, sporting-goods store. 'Abortion is a sin,' said Christ as He was led away in handcuffs. 'It is an abomination in the eyes of Me.' Witnesses said the attack, which took the lives of Dr. Nelson Woodring, 51, and clinic nurse Danielle Costa, 29, came from 'out of nowhere.' 'He walked up to the admissions desk and asked if He could see Dr. Woodring,' receptionist Iris Reid said. 'The next thing I knew, He was shouting Biblical verses and opening fire on everything moving.' 'It was horrible,' said injured clinic nurse Jessica Combs, recovering at a local hospital with bullet wounds to the leg and abdomen. 'He put his hands over Dr. Woodring's head and told him He forgave him for his sins, and then He shot him right in the face.' Huntsville police officials are not certain how the Messiah was able to bypass clinic guards and proceed undetected past security cameras and into the clinic waiting room, where He produced the gun from its hiding place in the folds of His robe. Federal investigators are similarly baffled, saying that the heavily armed Christ had moved in 'mysterious ways.' Speaking to reporters from His holding cell, Christ, 33, said He had 'no regrets' about what He had done. 'As I said in John 16:21, every life is precious,' Christ said. 'This means every life, not just those who have already been born. My father, the Lord, feels the same way I do. In Jeremiah 1:5, He said unto the prophet Jeremiah, 'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.' The unborn fetus is a sacred, living creation of my Father in Heaven and should be treated as such.' Added Christ: 'What if the Virgin Mary had decided to abort me? Certainly she must have been tempted to do so. After all, it wasn't even her decision to conceive me in the first place. But in the end, she made the right decision, bringing her pregnancy to term and giving the world a Savior. Blessed is she among women.' According to legal experts, if convicted, Christ could face the death penalty. Christ (second from right) leads pro-life demonstrators at a 1995 rally in Washington, D.C. 'The state of Alabama has the death penalty, and this crime is certainly the sort that would be construed as a capital offense,' University of Michigan law professor Arthur Lipscomb said. 'With the right judge and jury, Christ could very well be put to death yet again.' In such a case, Lipscomb said, Alabama would likely use lethal injection rather than crucifixion. Christ said He is unafraid of the prospect of execution. 'Those who know me know that I am willing to die for the sins of others, whether those sins be avarice, slothfulness, false idolatry or the butchering of unborn life,' Christ said. 'The bottom line is, abortion stops a beating heart.' Tuesday's shooting is not Christ's first brush with the law. On April 8, 29, He was arrested in the Roman province of Judea for alleged false claims to the throne of the Kingdom of Israel. On Jan. 11, 1996, He and six other pro-life activists were jailed for blocking the entrance to a Cheektowaga, NY, abortion clinic. In October 1997, He was arrested for plotting to mail anthrax-laced packages to two dozen abortion doctors across the U.S. 'Abortion is an abomination. It is a sin. It is murder,' Christ said. 'I only did what any good Christian would have done.' Christ's followers have been overwhelmingly supportive of their leader. 'As it says in Psalm 139:13-16, 'For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body,'' said Ralph Anson of the Houston-based Every Life Is Precious. 'Those people at that clinic were killers, and they deserved to die.' 'We may not understand everything He does, but we must believe it is for the best,' said Rev. Joseph Abernathy, minister at First United Baptist Church of Huntsville. 'As Christians, it is not our duty to question what our Savior does. We can only live according to His example.' 
1	Saying it barely counted as an abduction at all, officials from the Portage Police Department assured residents that a reported kidnapping Tuesday morning was just one of those custody-related ones. While three young children are indeed missing from their home and their whereabouts are unknown, wed like the public to know theres no need to be alarmed, as this is merely an instance where a frustrated dad refused to return the kids to their mother at the end of the visitation weekendthats it, said Police Chief Dexter Reynolds, adding that, while the father did drive the children across state lines before informing his ex-wife during an angry phone call that they would be living with him permanently, this isnt one of those situations where the kids are in danger of being murdered or locked in a basement for three months. Everybody can relax. This guys just a resentful father, not some sort of pedophile or serial kidnapper. Nobodys getting molested. He definitely committed a crime and we will apprehend him, but honestly, the kids are probably fine. Reynolds went on to say that he regretted causing such a stir with the Amber Alert. 
3	House Judiciary Committee drone hearing: one step closer to legislation restricting drone useMadison Ruppert While drones are already used across the U.S. by more entities than we know, by 2015 the airspace will be opened up to much more widespread use. That said, local law enforcement agencies, Customs and Border Protection, National Guard units, U.S. Marshals, the military, private entities, colleges and many more have already flown or are planning to fly drones domestically. During the hearing, the participants referred to H.R. 637 introduced by Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas). Poe previously said that the Judiciary Committee could move to limit drone use and that it is looking increasingly likely. H.R. 637, or the Preserving American Privacy Act of 2013 was introduced on February 13, 2013 and would place at least some restrictions on drone use at the federal level. Meanwhile, legislation is being considered in states across the country. Multiple municipalities have passed anti-drone resolutions as well. During the hearing, individuals from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Brookings Institution, Boston University School of Law and Pepperdine University School of Law raised many concerns surrounding drone use. You can see the hearinghere or here. Chris Calabrese, legislative counsel for the ACLU, said that drones make it possible to track specific individuals with multiple drones and pose significant harms if left unchecked. Current laws lag behind hat is needed and federal privacy protection is spotty, Calabrese said. As such, the ACLU is backing H.R. 637, he added. Weapons developed on the battlefield of Iraq and Afghanistan have no place in the United States, Calabrese said. There is a consensus forming on this issue. In fact, both the Heritage Foundation and the International Association of Chiefs of Police both support sharp limits on weaponized drones. At one point, Pepperdine University School of Laws Gregory McNeal referenced ARGUS technology which I covered in the past in order to demonstrate how far drone-based technology has advanced. Tracey Maclin, of the Boston University School of Law, also described surveillance cameras capable of thermal imaging, license plate reading, and facial recognition technology that can track individuals based on their height, age, gender or skin color. Calabrese concurred and took the argument one step further, explaining that such information can be tied to sensitive location data pinged from an individuals cell phone resulting in continuous, long-term monitoring, as Sandra Fulton of the ACLUs Washington Legislative Office pointed out. The four experts were divided on what actions Congress should take to address the problems raised by drones, but as the Associated Press put it, the four witnesses all agreed that drones raised new, often unprecedented questions about domestic surveillance. Many of the members of congress expressed serious concerns about how drones could be used in the future. At what point do you think its going to get to a point where we have to say what a reasonable expectation of privacy is? asked Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.). It seems to me that Congress needs to set the standard, rather than wait and let the courts set the standard, Poe said. McNeal, however, believes that it would be a mistake for Congress just to act on drones. Instead, McNeal said that if they want to act, they should set borad standards for surveillance or what it means to have a realistic expectation of privacy. A technology-centered approach to privacy is the wrong approach, McNeal said, drawing parallels to privacy concerns raised by the rapid development of the Internet in the 1990s. Calabrese urged Congress to act fast and mark up H.R. 637. Many of the representatives who spoke seemed to be willing to act; its just a matter of how and when. How the story actually put anyone in danger, even if the AP is lying about getting the story cleared by the government, is unclear.

3	Israel Bombs Syria ... Again: Hits Ag Centers, WarehousesBrandon Turbeville At this time, Israel has yet to comment on the airstrikes. Syrian state television has stated that The Israeli enemy committed aggression against Syria by targeting two safe areas in Damascus province, in all of Dimas and near the Damascus International Airport. State news agency SANA also stated that the strikes were a flagrant attack on Syria. Lebanese state news agencies have reported that Israeli jets breached its airspace on Sunday. Reuters reports that Residents in Damascus said they heard loud explosions and opposition activists posted photos online of jet streams in the evening sky and fiery explosions. Syrias army general command said on state television that there were material losses in some facilities. It said the strike benefited al Qaeda. Further reports suggest that the targets of the Israeli jets were an agricultural airport in Dimas and an import-export warehouse in Damascus. Both of these locations are under control of the Syrian military and involve supplies and food greatly needed for the Syrian people. These targets, of course, fit in with the larger trend of both Israeli and American airstrikes in Syria in the past that have targeted civilian locations, Syrian infrastructure, Syrian oil refineries, and, particularly, food centers such as grain silos. While airstrikes are conducted under the guise of defeating ISIS, the fact is that these airstrikes have done little to even inconvenience the terrorist organization which itself is funded, directed, trained, armed, and controlled by the U.S., NATO, and the GCC. The airstrikes have been largely aimed at Syrian military interests as well as necessities of the Syrian people. The attacks come as the Western-backed forces of the Islamic State launched a major assault on the Syrian air base in Deir el-Zour. That attack was ultimately repelled and defeated by the Syrian army. This is by no means the first time that Israel has attacked Syria in support of the Western-backed terrorists or even the first time that it has done so in coordination with them. For instance, on October 30, 2013, Israel attacked and completely destroyed a Syrian air defense base in Snobar Jableh, Syria which is located near Latakia, a port city on the coast of the Mediterranean. The base was alleged to have housed a surface-to-air missile battery. It is also known that Israel launched attacks against Syrian forces and military convoys at least four times prior to the October 30 attack. As recently as June, 2014, Israel launched a series of airstrikes against Syrian military positions under the pretext of retaliation for a cross-border attack which was almost certainly initiated by death squad fighters whose logistical inadequacy spilled over into Israeli occupied territory in the Golan Heights. Given the questionable circumstances surrounding the justifying incident the killing of an Israeli teenager by an alleged anti-tank missile one would be justified in questioning the Israeli story. While the occasional attack on Syrian territory is bad enough, the fact is that Israel has apparently coordinated these attacks with the death squad directors on the ground so as to provide cover fire and diversions for death squad swarming and jihadist invasions. For instance, in May 2013, WABC host and best-selling author Aaron Klein stated that an Israeli airstrike in Syria was closely coordinated with Turkey which, in turn, helped coordinate the death squad attacks to occur at the exact same time as the Israeli airstrikes. The sources speaking to Klein came from Jordanian and Egyptian intelligence agencies. Klein wrote, Israels air strike in Syria today was coordinated with Turkey, which in turn coordinated rebel attacks throughout Syria timed to coincide with the Israeli strike, according to Egyptian and Jordanian intelligence sources speaking to KleinOnline. The sources said the rebels did not know about the Israeli strike in advance but instead were given specific instructions for when to begin todays major assaults against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad. Almost the moment the Israel Air Force departed was the moment the rebel advance began, added the Egyptian intelligence source. Multiple reports have noted how the Syrian rebels consist in large part of al-Qaida-linked jihad groups. The Egyptian and Jordanian sources described how immediately after todays Israeli air strike the jihadist rebels used access roads to advance toward Damascus and began heavy clashes with Syrian military forces throughout the country. Some have speculated that Israels continued incursions into Syrian territory is not only an attempt to weaken the military forces of the Syrian government and support the terrorists operating inside the country but to cause Syrias air defense system to light up and give away its concealed positions. Regardless, Israel has once again demonstrated how it is, in reality, the most volatile state in the Middle East despite its claims to the contrary.

3	Just How Many Drone Licenses Has the FAA Really Issued?Jennifer Lynch This new number points out again how difficult it is to answer the most common questions EFF gets from reporters about drones just how many agencies have applied for drone licenses? How many licenses has the FAA issued since it started issuing licenses (which was earlier than 2007)? And how much has domestic drone use increased over the years? Unfortunately, the FAA has made it impossible to answer these questions. Weve been tracking drone flights in the United States for several years now through our two Freedom of Information Act lawsuits against the Federal Aviation Administration, and we currently havemore information on domestic drone flights than anyone other than the FAA. But thanks to discrepancies among various drone numbers the FAA has releasedto EFF, to the Government Accountability Office and to members of Congressits anyones guess exactly how much drone authorizations have increased over the years. Heres a summary of the various numbers the FAA has released. See if you can make sense of them. July 2010: July 2012: September 2012: September 2012: January 2013: February 2013: There are other discrepancies. Of the 228 entities on the list released to Representatives Markey and Barton in September 2012, at least 28 are not on either of the lists the FAA provided to EFF, despite the fact that the FAA has assured EFFas part of our litigationthat EFFs lists include all public entities that have applied for drone licenses. These missing entities include the following: And a number of State National Guard offices: And, by the FAAs own admission, the list provided to Markey and Barton does not include classified drone applications. The only way we can have an open and full debate about domestic drone flights is if we have accurate, complete, up-to-date and reliable data on how many entities are licensed to fly drones, who those entities are, and how many licenses the FAA has issued for each year its issued licenses. EFF shouldnt have to keep suing the FAA to get this information.

2	Michelle Obamas Ex Boyfriend Comes Clean And Drops THIS Bombshell About Her According to recent reports, its just been revealed that before marrying Barack Obama, Michelle dated Treasury Department Inspector General J. Russell George. The two apparently had a fling while they were student together at Harvard Law School. Recently, George was caught in the middle of the IRSs unethical targeting of conservative organizations. He was forced to testify at two congressional hearings about the incident. I think he actually dated Michelle at one point, Virginia Republican Rep Tom Davis told reporters. Davis worked with George in the late 90s as the staff director of the House Oversight committee. Still, George has not confessed to the courtship. Michelle was a lovely person, and down to Earth, George told reporters, before saying, Dont get me in trouble. Michelle clearly doesnt have the best taste in men, so we dont put it past her to date someone who ended up in a major IRS scandal. Do we need the Obamas and their friends out of the White House immediately? 
2	After Failing To Push This Legislation, Obama Signs MAJOR Executive Order... Well, as suspected, it appears that President Obama has not learned his lesson when it comes to making decisions and orders independent of Congress. This time he has decided to cut the federal governments greenhouse gas emissions, a decision that is supposedly the equivalent of removing 5.5 million cars from the room. The Blaze reports that the Obamas new order seeks to cut government emissions (as listed in 2008) by almost 40 percent. After failing to get the bill through Congress multiple times, Obama has decided to move forward with signing the bill anyways. Obama sites cost savings as a reason to support the bill, claiming that his decision will save taxpayers nearly $18 billion by the time we hit 2025. Its ironic that the President does not express concern for taxpayer dollars until its fueling his own agenda. What do you think? This order is less harmful than others Obama has signed in the past, but do his actions still hurt America and disrespect our system of government? 
2	BREAKING: Obama Pulls Sickening Move In Finals Days Leading Up To Leaving With only a week left in his presidency, Barack Obama is moving quickly to issue a series of pardons before turning the presidency over to Donald Trump. One name being considered for pardon has millions of Americans feeling very unsettled. According to Daily Mail, military document leaker Chelsea Manning is on his short list for a possible pardon. Manning, a transgender former Army intelligence analyst who went by Bradley prior to transition, is currently serving a 25-year sentence for giving 700,000 sensitive military and diplomatic documents, including classified files, to WikiLeaks. An unnamed source within the Justice Department told reporters Obama is strongly considering commuting Mannings sentence. Manning is at high risk; she has tried to commit suicide twice since being incarcerated at the maximum-security US Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth. Last year, Manning held a hunger strike to convince officials to allow her to undergo gender reassignment surgery. Supporters of Manning have argued for some time that her 35-year sentence is too harsh and that the judge was simply trying to send a message to high-profile government whistleblower, Edward Snowden. Many have called Chelsea a scapegoat. Mr. President, if you grant only one act of clemency as you exit the White House, please: free Chelsea Manning, Snowden himself wrote on Twitter. You alone can save her life. To clarify, Manning is far from innocent. She handed over documents containing war logs from Iraq and Afghanistan, diplomatic cables, and detainee files from Guantanamo Bay. She also sent them a video showing an Apache helicopter attacking Baghdad, killing civilians and two news cameramen. Throughout her trial, Mannings defense team tried to portray her as simply nave. Im sorry that my actions hurt people, Manning told the court. Im sorry that they hurt the United States. I understand that I must pay the price for my decisions and actions. What do you think? Would it be a mistake to pardon Manning?

3	Deal Reached: Wireless Remote Drug-Releasing Microchip Implants On The Assembly LineBy Heather Callaghan Deals were made. Money exchanged. Development in process this is actually going to happen. Is this the next phase of The Singularity? The complete bypassing of pills, injections things that one actively chooses and takes to a passive acceptance of remote controlled wireless chips quietly and somehow pumping substance for up to 16 years? Or is it more public relations for the long-time push forthe coming brain chip? But first to roll out will probably be the wirelessly controlled birth-control implanted device backed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Rob Matheson of TechSwarm reports: Langer was apparently inspired in the 1990s by microchip manufacturing to make a new drug delivery system. Cima, a chip-making expert had said, being out-of-this-world is not something that needs to stop anybody at MIT In fact, that should be the criterion. Cima recalls the early trial-and-error process saying, We were trying to find the killer application. We thought, I have a hammer, whats the right nail to hit? Human trials for the wireless capabilities actually took place in 2011 then Gates got involved. Do you hear that? Non-adherence wont be tolerated because someone or something else will be calling the shots, so to speak According to a supportive report by the Annals of Internal Medicine, the estimated unnecessary health costs of people who dont stick to their meds is up to $100 billion to $289 billion annually. Incidentally, that report goes on to say that a failure to follow prescriptions causes around 125,000 deaths annually and up to 10 percent of all hospitalizations. Is that on top of the200,000 or soannual deaths caused by FDA-approved prescription drugs and more from the200,000 400,000annual deaths from medical mistakes at the hospital? (source) Also, is this not an all too real metaphor for alchemy? Gold alloy for this artificial organ we created? So there we have it, three or so avenues with which the new medicine order will be rolling out devices that mesh us with nanotech, biotech and wireless tech all in one.

As they march on successfully towards their transhumanist agenda to chip, control and own all souls through willful ignorance of technological enslavement. Well, the first sentence caught my eyeOn May 2014, through Europe newborn children will be compelled to take in a subcutaneous RFID chip. Thanks for this post. George Orwell in 1984 talked about the masses being controlled but his vision did not see nefarious ways in which the masses could be controlled by the Oligarchs. What a great idea to have an implant that can kill you just as well as the Big Pharma prescriptions. Anyone who accepts this notion is dumber than dirt. Alex Huxley saw it and wrote about it. I need to reread Brave New World. He was way ahead of his time since he was born in the late 1800s to a comfortable family of scientists and teachers. Correcting you politely Aldous Huxley. Thanks for jarring this former English teachers memory. Yes you are correct, thanks! and the reason for many Non compliant patients is? Our grandchildren, when they reach teenage-hood, will gladly go for a contraceptive implant. If it follows the line of Brave New World then a vacation chip can be implanted for virtual holidays anywhere in the universe. It will be 2 generations before this can be fully implemented. By that time we will have passed on and will have different issues to deal with. 
2	ObamaDuring an appearance before the U.Ks House of Lords on Tuesday, Angelina Jolie spoke out against Islamic State group militants, and how they are using sexual violence systematically. She went on to explain that we need strong leadership to overcome this threat. Jolies speech highlighted just how unsatisfactory Obamas response to ISIS has been. They are dictating it as a policy beyond what we have seen before, Jolie said of ISIS and Shariah Law. They are saying, we should do this, this is the right way to build a society, so we tell you to rape. The most aggressive terrorist group in the world today knows what we know, knows that is a very effective weapon and they are using it as a center point of their terror and their way of destroying communities and families, and attacking and dehumanizing, she claimed. She went on to conclude that we need a very, very strong response at this time to stop this monstrosity. What do you think? Do you support Jolie? 
3	Can Google Glass Be Modified to Read Your Brain?Nicholas West If turning the average person into a roving snitch isnt bad enough, another concern was revealed recently: Google Glass can be hacked and modified for facial recognition capability. Stephen Balaban, founder of Lambda Labs stated his intentions to design an alternate operating system outside the control of Google: By supplanting Glass original operating system, Balaban has already managed to create a feature that can perform facial recognition using the forward-mounted camera. According to Balaban, Google did not react well when he announced his intention to modify their device to recognize human facial features. In response, the company changed the terms of service to ban the practice, though developers at Lambda Labs seemed undeterred. Dont worry, we think its a core feature. Google will allow it or be replaced with something that does, tweeted Lambda on June 1. (Source) However, the latest modification could make facial recognition look like childs play; a compatible brainwave sensor that can evaluate mental state, opening yet another pathway toward a brain-computer interface. While privacy advocates and Congress are trying to iron out the basic implications of wearable computing and some of the functions that go beyond mere entertainment, a company named Walnut Wearables is trying to bring us closer to an imminent cyborg future. The Walnut concept goes much further, using a built-in EEG to offer a window into the mind in real time then connect various mental states to Google Glass functions. The video below shows a scenario featuring a driver who can observe his focus and attention. Certainly this could be a good thing, but with the recent revelations of the ease of hacking Google Glass, as well as unknown backdoors that may or may not be built in, its not hard to imagine how this could one day be used to remotely monitor peoples habits and behavior. Think insurance companies, at the most benign. Its clear that consumer items like Google Glass (and other augmented reality gadgets) need to be thought through at every level before being fully released into the public domain. However, where there is the will and the funding, it might be inevitable that this technology becomes an integral part of everyday existence. Google is already talking about directly embedding a chip in the brain. But, for now, it is up to each of us to make the decision whether or not to augment our own reality and make Google Glass an extension of our mind . . . then share it with the world.

3	Whistleblower Rap NewsYoutube 
1	While speaking to several potential Louisiana State University football recruits Monday, head coach Les Miles reportedly reassured the high schoolers parents that he considers the players on his team like his own sons whom he can cut from the team anytime he wants. These boys arent just pieces on my rosterI treat them like my very own flesh and blood and wont hesitate to cut them at the drop of a hat if they start underperforming, Miles said to the mother of LSU Tigers quarterback prospect Jerome Fielding, emphasizing that he cares for his student-athletes much in the same way a father would care for his children whom he would immediately dismiss in the event one of them was injured or hit his athletic ceiling earlier than expected. Rest assured, Mrs. Fielding, if Jerome chooses LSU, he wont just be getting a great education and the opportunity to play for a top football program; hell become part of a new family. A family who, if he has a bad week, or if another family member comes along with better field vision and quicker feet in the pocket, wont hesitate in the slightest to throw him on the bench for the rest of the season, after which hell be kicked out of the family and lose his scholarship. Reached for comment, several current LSU players told reporters that they themselves consider Miles a father figure whose contract will likely be bought out if the Tigers dont go at least 10-2 this season. 
1	Saying that he thought it was a safe bet at first, local man Mark Zuckerberg, 28, told reporters Tuesday thatafter going what he called all in on the businesshe now regrets staking so much of his financial future on the Internet company Facebook. It seemed like a slam dunkpopular company, kids love it, and my financial advisors were telling me this stock was going to be a monster, said Zuckerberg, who works in computers, and has lost nearly $600 million since Facebook went public in May. But you know what, Ill admit there was always a small part of me that knew I was going to lose a boatload on this thing, because, when you think about Facebook, theres not a whole lot of room for long-term growth there, or any real solid plan for the future. I guess its just another one of those overhyped tech stocks, and I bought into the hype. At press time, Zuckerberg sold his shares in Facebook and invested in GE, which the computer programmer and husband called a fine, safe American company that never gets too high, never gets too low. 
3	The Oil Crash Of 2016 Has The Big Banks Running ScaredBy Michael Snyder Today, the price of oil has been hovering around 29 dollars a barrel, and over the past 18 months the price of oil has fallen by more than 70 percent. This is something that has many U.S. consumers very excited. The average price of a gallon of gasoline nationally is just $1.89 at the moment, and on Monday it was selling for as low as 46 cents a gallon at one station in Michigan. But this oil crash is nothing to cheer about as far as the big banks are concerned. During the boom years, those banks gave out billions upon billions of dollars in loans to fund exceedingly expensive drilling projects all over the world. Now those firms are dropping like flies, and the big banks could potentially be facing absolutely catastrophic losses. The following examples come from CNN For instance, Wells Fargo (WFC) is sitting on more than $17 billion in loans to the oil and gas sector. The bank is setting aside $1.2 billion in reserves to cover losses because of the continued deterioration within the energy sector. JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is setting aside an extra $124 million to cover potential losses in its oil and gas loans. It warned that figure could rise to $750 million if oil prices unexpectedly stay at their current $30 level for the next 18 months. Citigroup is another bank that also hasa tremendous amount of exposure Citigroup (C) built up loan loss reserves in the energy space by $300 million. The bank said the move reflects its view that oil prices are likely to remain low for a longer period of time. If oil stays around $30 a barrel, Citi is bracing for about $600 million of energy credit losses in the first half of 2016. Citi said that figure could double to $1.2 billion if oil dropped to $25 a barrel and stayed there. For the moment, these big banks are telling the public that the damage can be contained. But didnt they tell us the same thing about subprime mortgages in 2008? We are already seeing bank stocks start to slide precipitously. People are beginning to realize that these banks are dangerously exposed to a lot of really bad deals. If the price of oil were to shoot back up above 50 dollars in very short order, the damage would probably be manageable. Unfortunately, that does not appear likely to happen. In fact, now that sanctions have been lifted on Iran, the Iranians are planning to flood the world with massive amounts of oilthat they have been storing in tankers at sea Iran has been carefully planning for its return from the economic penalty box by hoarding tons of oil in tankers at sea. Now that the U.S. and European Union have lifted some sanctions on Iran, the OPEC country can begin selling its massive stockpile of oil. The sale of this seaborne oil will allow Iran to get an immediate financial boost before it ramps up production. The onslaught of Iranian oil is coming at a terrible time for the global oil markets, which are already drowning in an epic supply glut. Just the other day, I explained that some of the biggest banks in the world are now projecting that the price of oil could soon fall much, much lower. Morgan Stanley says that it could go as low as 20 dollars a barrel, the Royal Bank of Scotland says that it could go as low as 16 dollars a barrel, and Standard Chartered says that it could go as low as 10 dollars a barrel. But the truth is that the price of oil does not need to go down one penny more to have a catastrophic impact on global financial markets. If it just stays right here, we will see an endless parade of layoffs, energy company bankruptcies and debt defaults. Without any change, junk bonds will continue to crash and financial institutions will continue to go down like dominoes. We are already experiencing a major disaster. Things are already so bad that some forms of low quality crude oil are literally selling for next to nothing. The following comes fromBloomberg Oil is so plentiful and cheap in the U.S. that at least one buyer says it would pay almost nothing to take a certain type of low-quality crude. Flint Hills Resources LLC, the refining arm of billionaire brothers Charles and David Kochs industrial empire, said it offered to pay $1.50 a barrel Friday for North Dakota Sour, a high-sulfur grade of crude, according to a corrected list of prices posted on its website Monday. It had previously posted a price of -$0.50. The crude is down from $13.50 a barrel a year ago and $47.60 in January 2014. While the near-zero price is due to the lack of pipeline capacity for a particular variety of ultra low quality crude, it underscores how dire things are in the U.S. oil patch. A chart that I saw posted onZero Hedge earlier today can help put all of this into perspective. Whenever the price of oil falls really low relative to the price of gold, there is a major global crisis. Right now an ounce of gold will purchase more oil than ever before, and many believe that this indicates that a new great crisis is upon us The number of barrels of oil that a single ounce of gold can buy has never, ever been higher. All over the planet, big banks are absolutely teeming with bad loans. And to be honest, the big banks in the U.S. are probably in better shape than some of the major banks in Europe and Asia. But once the dominoes start to fall, very few financial institutions are going to escape unscathed. In the coming days I would expect to see more headlines like we just got out of Italy. Apparently, Italian banks are nearing full meltdown mode, and short selling has been temporarily banned. To me, it appears that we are just inches away from full-blown financial panic in Europe. However, just like with the last financial crisis, you never quite know where the next explosion is going to happen next. But one thing is for sure the financial crisis that began during the second half of 2015 is raging out of control, and the pain that we have seen so far is just the beginning.

Fools all of them, those who refused to see the fallacy of being able to create unlimited amounts of bookkeeping entries (fiat paper currencies) and not having to deal with any ill effects!! When you have a system of unjust weights and measures, it always, always, always kills itself off! I was considering helping them along, by taking my money out of the Bank! You can do what you want to, I wont lift a single finger to stop you! Just realize that what you take out of the bank isnt really money at all, just some fiat paper currency of NO known or provable value!! If you use that paper to get something that you feel will be able to serve you later on down the line, well great and welcome to the club! And keep in mind that capital controls are only going to get worse the longer you delay. I am aware, and am prepared in every way possible. My prayer is that those of the American people are doing so as well. You dont take your money out of the bank. Oil has dropped by a factor of nearly 4 from its high of $110/bbl. The only other commodity I can remeber dropping this order of magnitude was silver from a high of about $50/ounce. The silver crash was quickly blamed on market speculators, yet oils crash is blamed on supply/demand. Has there ever been another commodity price drop of this magnitude that was due to supply/demand rather than speculators? Oil reached a high of $147 per barrel at it`s height and now down to $30.00 ? This shows me just hoe badly rigged this oil market really is . If there was a shortage previously to force the price so high how come there is now such a glut to force the price down so low ? It is not natural for any market to swing that much but oil is the basis for the whole financial system and I don`t think ANYONE foresaw this did they ? Putin did! What a brilliant Christian man. When he and Trump team up, it will be the end of the New Word Order, Jeckyl Island schemers for a long, long time. We can rewrite The Hunger Games series, and have the Bush clan vs. the Klinton/Obamanite clan. Payback is a beeyatch! Thats a good point, William. The system we are controlled by was never really broken; it was designed that way. The elite will come out on top though, they always do. However, all the money in the world wont save them from our wrath! The real wrath will be the wrath of God which will destroy all evil and subject it to the second death, eternity in the lake of fire. Everyone who has studied the bible seen it coming, it is very informative and everything is written. I have been telling people about markets collapsing since 1996, the year when I found out how the fiat paper currency financial system is really set up. All it took was a little bit of logical reasoning to see what the point of ne plus ultra was, which is a complete crash of ALL fiat currencies in every country. NONE will be spared. Just as all of the religions of the world can be shown to be dependent upon fraud of some kind to exist, so too are all of the monetary systems on Earth and elsewhere, if there is an elsewhere. No one can show me even just one little corner of the world where no fraud exists. Dare you evil low-lifes try that too-big-to-fail bail-out schem again!!! The Deep State is trying to provoke Russia into a shooting war. Now thats where the REAL money can be made. 
3	Questions Arise as to Defense Contractor Involvement in Syrian Gas AttackJanet C. Phelan The trail to TechWise begins with the recent disclosure of anonymously hacked military emails that were posted to Pastebin, involving conversations between Colonel Anthony MacDonald (now retired) and a shadowy DoD employee named Eugene Furst, as well as communications between MacDonalds wife, Jennifer and a friend. These emails show insider knowledge of the chemical attacks in Syria. The MacDonald/Furst emails show Furst congratulating MacDonald on 8/22 of his success in a recent operation then linking to a Washington Post article on the Syrian chemical attack. The emails are copied here: Original Message On Aug 22, 2013, at 2:14 PM, Furst, Eugene P CIV (US) The emails between MacDonalds wife, Jennifer and a friend named Mary Shapiro show Jennifer MacDonald reassuring her friend that her husband comforted her, telling her that the (Syrian) kids werent hurt, it was done for cameras. Thatll be nice to get down to NC to see your Dad and Lee. If you feel like a road trip about 1/2 hour down the road, go visit the resort and have Molly give you a tour of campus. Shed love to see you guys since she didnt get to PA for Steves COC. Thank you for you offer to visit over Labor Day, however we are going to my Dads house over that weekend. Its going to be a tight turn around, but if we dont go then it may be a while before we can head down there. I am going to be joining Steve at his Capstone class 7-11 October so we should be able to meet for dinner then. Also I would like to try and come down during the day in September to celebrate your bday. So we can start thinking about a few dates. You know, I cant stop thinking about that terrible gas attack in Syria now. Did you see those kids? I was really crying. They were poisoned, they died. When is it over? I see their faces when in sleep. What did Tony say you about this? MacDonalds resume includes experience as Chief of Staff for the Defense Intelligence Operations Coordination Center and extensive experience in the theater of war, including intelligence. A sample from his CV follows: In some of the hacked emails, we see MacDonald, who goes by Jamie, actively looking for other employment. On August 6, 2013, he emailed Robert Cox, a civilian with the DIA, stating I am applying for jobs and learning stuff. MacDonald was introduced to Tony Abati with TechWise by US Army Colonel Laura Potter. In one of the hacked emails, she wrote to both of them stating that I have the utmost respect for both of you and youd make a great team! Abati was clearly courting MacDonald. A series of emails under the header Linking up Great Professionals, indicates that a potential hiring conversation was taking place. On June 14, 2013, Abati wrote Potter: I look forward to speaking with Jamie and discussing current and future opportunities with him. Following this were emails back and forth between Abati and MacDonald resolving the best time for a skype call. Attached to Abatis emails to MacDonald were two job descriptions one for a Battlestaff Training and Education Program Advisor and one for a Primary Doctrine Writer (Intelligence Doctrine). Both job descriptions begin with the following: TechWisewas founded in the mid nineties by Shawnee Huckstep. In 2008, Huckstep was honored as SBA Person of the Year. A televised 2008 interview with Huckstep has her stating that the company now maintains a research lab.

1	According to his irritated friends, local man Mike Dreyer is inexplicably shocked and angered whenever he hears the over-under oddsmakers have set for any sporting event whatsoever. 'It's like he takes it personally or something,' said Dreyer's friend Matt Brands, who makes a point of putting away the local sports page before Dreyer comes over so he can't consult it. 'Nobody cares if Mike thinks the Texans' performance on artificial turf warrants something more like an over-under of 42 than 45. He's never made a bet in his life anyway.' At press time, Dreyer was not asked to comment about the Super Bowl spread. 
1	Saying that we spoke too soon and probably should have looked at all the facts and information first before pulling the trigger, The selfnews has issued an apology to the family of Boston resident Tom Mahoney, who was shot and killed by the news organization at 2:10 p.m. today. We have learned that, contrary to our prior reports, Mr. Mahoney was in fact just a school teacher and not the Boston Marathon bomber, read an official statement from The selfnews. Next time, instead of creating a media firestorm, misleading the public with uncorroborated information, and murdering an innocent man, we will make sure to confirm the identity of the bomber with the proper officials before taking a shot. The selfnews once again apologizes. 
3	How TV Affects Your Brain Chemistry for the WorstBy Heather Callaghan It might not be such a mystery when you find out how easy it is for TV programming the waves it emits, the storytelling to override basic brain function and even damage your body. Reported earlier byTruthstream Media: Back in 1969, a man named Herbert Krugman conducted a series of experiments regarding the effect of television on a persons brainwaves. What he found was pretty startling: Krugman monitored a person through many trials and found that in less than one minute of television viewing, the persons brainwaves switched from Beta waves brainwaves associated with active, logical thought to primarily Alpha waves. When the subject stopped watching television and began reading a magazine, the brainwaves reverted to Beta waves. Beta is considered a normal, awake state, while Alpha waves are experienced in a deep relaxation or daydreaming state. When in the Alpha state, a person is subjected to a passive learning experience with the right side of the brain at the wheel, leaving critical thinking skills behind. When scientists study these effects, we often find out later that they were only trying to help corporate advertisers better influence you. They have even found that the brains of people watching movies together are snyced up!Is that a syn against individuality? Jerry Mander also discussed the damages of unbridled technology like television in Questions We Should Have Asked About Technology. Even in the 1970s, he was arguing for the elimination of television. One of his reasons was the death culture all the story lines, especially in the news were heading toward death obsession. Think about how that has changed in 40 years and what that does to already hopeless people? Thats entertainment? Speaking of which, here is a video that shows how television affects your brain chemistry for the worst. Yes, the waves entrain your brain for the greatest suggestibility but it gets worse. Your mind gets confused and derailed by the condensed and unrealistic story lines. The imagery creates plenty of stress hormones like the constant release of adrenaline but with no outlet because we consciously try to tell ourselves that its just a show. Apparently, the brain and body disagree. Does that explain how TV creates an artificial high and addiction? The Plug-In Drug is a book that explains your brain on television and computers in greater detail. Have you given up television? What were the results, good or bad?

1	Jesus the Christ, Son of Yahweh, is free on bond today after being arrested for the murder of Wanda Jimenez, 38, an East Side prostitute. Jesus confessed to the killing at His arraignment yesterday. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, Jesus said to a hushed crowd of onlookers outside the municipal courthouse after His arraignment. Hey, the bitch had it coming. The judge sympathized, ruling that he had grown to love Jesus through a 36-year-long personal relationship with the Christ cultivated through weekly church services. I consider Jesus to be my personal savior, Judge Havish Greegham said. I therefore cannot send Him to jail. According to police reports, at 1:16 a.m. Friday, Jesus had sex with Jimenez in an alley behind the Paradise Row adult movie theater on King Street. The victim was then beaten brutally about the face, stabbed 17 times in the chest and abdomen with a screwdriver, then strangled. Said Police Detective Harold Trutmand: The evidence indicates that Jesus assaulted the victim over a dispute, presumably the result of His refusal to pay for sex. Though he confessed to the murder of an East Side prostitute, Jesus the Christ (inset), is free on bond today. Judge Havish Greegham released the Christ, calling him his personal savior. Christ, 32, is a traveling iconoclastic preacher and healer. He has a long criminal record in his native Middle East, including charges of incitement and heresy filed by the Roman government. He had previously been banned from a local temple by Pharisees for vandalism and public disturbance. He is also known to associate with tax collectors and adulterers. Resurrected three days after His death, Jesus was revealed to be the long-awaited Messiah, or Christ, foretold in the Old Testament. According to official records, this was a holy event that created a new religion and transformed the history of the Western world. Christians today number over one billion. Christians everywhere have come forward in support of Jesus. Hes my personal savior and I love Him, a smiling Cindy Hevertsen, 15, said at a rally outside the First Missouri Con-gregational Church. And Im sure God in His love will forgive Him for killing the hooker, or whatever He did. Added Hevertsen: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, Jude, Revelation. The difficult role of prosecuting the Son of God has been assigned to County Prosecutor Sam Edlerbet. Outside his downtown office, a mob of 60,000 Christian protesters has backed up traffic for an eight-mile radius. Brandishing placards that read, He died for you too, Christ Jailer, Edlerbet, spawn of Satan, and Iscariot, Pilate, EdlerbetBurn! Burn! Burn! the protesters create a constant roar of vitriol not unlike a raging hailstorm that permeates the walls and cubicles of every office building in the city. Said Edlerbet: I was hired by the County Board Chairman to prosecute illegal activity committed in the County of Brefford, and must put forth my best effort in the performance of that duty. Though Edlerbet did not admit to being frightened, his co-workers claim he has been tense since the legion of protesters firebombed his car, obliterated his suburban St. Louis home, and promised to tear the flesh from his body and feed it to Lucifers jackals. Based on Biblical precedent, St. Louis District Attorney Frank Menchett is considering throwing out the charges on the basis of Jesuss holy forgiveness from God. Said Menchett: A power superseding that of the State of Missouri is that of the loving grace of a heavenly deity, who may have an authority to forgive, overruling that of the governor of Missouri. Jesuss summary judgment is set for March 1.

2	New Military Power Joins Russia And France To Fight ISIS... This Is The End According to reports from the Israel National News, information is surfacing that the Israeli Air Force (IAF) is conducting strikes on a base belonging to Hezbollah, the Iran terror proxy. The target base was reportedly located in the Qalamoun border region, which lies between Lebanon and Syria. The area has been a key point for rebels fighting Bashar al-Assad to transfer weapons. It has also been used for Hezbollah fighting to prop up Assad. This comes just two weeks after the media reported that Israel struck near Damascus International Airport, in a bombing suspected to involve a weapons transfer. 
2	Hillary Didnt Think Anyone Was Looking When She Did THIS To The American Flag, Absolutely Sickening... The rules of respecting the American Flag are straightforward and simple. Everyone knows the rules, especially the fact that it is never supposed to touch the ground. Either Hillary forgot this rule, or she downright doesnt care. Hillary doesnt have much going for her. Shes under investigation by the FBI, and cant seem to present herself in a way that could be described as presidential. Sadly, many liberals support her, and they are unable so see through her lies and fraud. One commenter said: and to think the person who put them on the ground, thinks this was okay, and no big deal no respect to OUR flag! We couldnt agree more. America is OUR home, and we refuse to let Hillary ruin it. Do you think Hillary is the worst presidential candidate? 
3	How 9/11 Truth Looms in the Background of the CIA Torture StoriesBernie Suarez I recall vividly watching the horror of that day, to include the television footage of innocent men and women jumping out of the World Trade Center towers to escape the fire. The images, and the sounds as their bodies hit the pavement far below, will remain with me for the rest of my life. Reading down further in the report, the 9/11 official story meme continues fully settling on the clear determined narrative that would be used in the CIAs attempt to justify torture by reminding the audience of the terrorist plots It is worth remembering the pervasive fear in late 2001 and how immediate the threat felt. Just a week after the September 11 attacks, powdered anthrax was sent to various news organizations and to two U.S. Senators. The American public was shocked by news of new terrorist plots and elevations of the color-coded threat level of the Homeland Security Advisory System. We expected further attacks against the nation. Do you remember now? The day when (CIA asset) Bin Laden and his (CIA) Al Qaeda terrorist (supposedly) took over four commercial planes and strategically overpowered the worlds greatest military, all from a cave in Afghanistan? For anyone with any sense of logic and reason, just think for a minute. We are asked to believe that the same Al Qaeda that the establishment media claims did 9/11 is STILL alive and well, and fully operational, never having missed a beat fighting against the worlds most sophisticated military, and returning fire (even-steven and tit-for-tat) while keeping up on supplies and ammo. All of this for over 13 plus years!! One problem with this 9/11 backdrop war on terror narrative is that long after the war in Afghanistan seemed like it should have been over, the war (or more correctly, the occupation) mysteriously and illogically continues without missing a beat. Even as humanity has witnessed 13 years of a war with literally no evidence of a war, the war continues. Thats right, for over 13 years, while the CIA torture program rolls on fully implemented, no one has ever produced, authenticated and validated video proof of a war in Afghanistan showing the opposition clearly firing at U.S. troops in a war-like scenario and sustaining themselves in the heat of battle. Its been over 13 years and yet there is still no clear-cut footage showing the Al Qaeda tanks, artillery and grunts running around fighting hard against their U.S. enemies. Its been 13 years, where is this footage?? Another problem with the war on terror narrative is that humanity has long woken up to the fake terror and long-term (U.S.-Israeli/PNAC) Middle East plans. With the help of the alternative media, citizen journalists, independent media and investigative journalists, expansions of government engineered synthetic terrorism has been fully exposed. Thanks to the U.S./Israeli/NATO ongoing Middle East aggressive ambitions exemplified by the creation, arming and funding of ISIS and their terror partners (FSA, Al-Nusra), the continued engineered war on terror is now fully exposed to the world. Consequently, looming in the background of this most recent revelation of CIA torture and public indignation over Bush and Cheney war crimes, is the years of lies and how much the 9/11 official story meme has fallen apart since 2001. No longer does the story fit into the reality we now experience. From the Bin Laden death hoax and all the secrecy surrounding this event that never quite happened the way U.S. officials and the media say happened, to the long list of oddities and mysterious deaths of key witnesses and characters, to the now deeply established scientific facts about the improbable destruction of the 3 WTC towers, the 9/11 official story is no longer easy to believe. Thus looming in the background of the hideous CIA torture programs is the powerful and liberating truth of 9/11. It sits in everyones consciousness waiting to come out. Now that horrific torture is fully revealed to the world, government can only hope that the masses somehow still believe the 9/11 official story lie. Mixed unofficial polls have been taken which indicate anywhere from 35 to 70+ percent of Americans question the official story narrative. What the actual percentages is no one really knows. This much is true, however: the 9/11 official story doesnt make any more sense. The story suffers from too many holes, too many convenient oddities and coincidences, a blatant violation of the laws of science, frightening coincidental and untimely deaths of witnesses and outdated logic justifying the continued existence of Al Qaeda (and now ISIS) who of course never attack Israel or plan other 9/11-style attacks from caves in Afghanistan. Its absolutely time for the world to wake up to 9/11 Truth, which is primarily based on the overwhelming scientific evidence and secondarily on gathered evidence against the true masterminds. We know factually that the towers were brought down by controlled demolition. Three teams of researchers confirmed the presence of nano-sized thermite in the dust of the world trade centers. Samples (of WTC dust) which when tested, each time showed the confirmed presence of thermite, a military-grade incendiary compound whose thermite form has been used for controlled demolition in the past. This irrefutable evidence for controlled demolition should loom in the background of everyones mind as they continue to read about the CIA (engineered, staged, pre-planned, malicious) torture program actually designed to torture innocent people for which there is no credible evidence of a crime or wrongdoing other than being verbally accused of being a terrorist. So as the illegal prison in Guantanamo remains wide open against all promises by candidate Obama, let us forever remember the men illegally imprisoned there without rights and without justice. Let us consider the possibilities that too many Americans are too afraid to face. Americans would rather bury their heads in the sand than to face the reality of 9/11, torture, illegal prisons and war crimes. Remember this, however: 9/11 Truth will eventually be admitted by the mainstream media. It may not happen today or tomorrow. Perhaps the system is not quite ready to admit 9/11 Truth and merge all of these charges to the record of Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld quite yet. But the puzzle has come together for many of us and we are waiting for critical mass awareness to move forward with justice. 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	Capping off a packed week of weighing options and giving serious thought, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spent a busy day in Washington fueling speculation and not ruling things out, her spokesman confirmed today. After dedicating a few hours in the morning to drawing a lot of focus, laying groundwork, and calculating risks, Mrs. Clinton conducted a full afternoon of taking stock of and thinking it through, as well as several hours of careful considering, Clinton press aide Nick Merrill said of the 66-year-olds breakneck schedule of entertaining various possibilities and seeing all sides. Between looking ahead and setting the stage, Mrs. Clinton has been putting in 18-hour days of late. No sooner has she finished up an evenings worth of hinting at than she has to wake up the next morning at 6 a.m. and resume being touted as. At press time, sources reported that Clinton was trying to squeeze in several more minutes of not rushing to decisions before sparking rumors and generating buzz. 
3	The Use Of Secret Courts Confirms The End Of Democracy In BritainBy Graham Vanbergen In the English-speaking world, one of the most notorious secret courts was the Star Chamber as it was used under Charles I in the early 17th century. The abuses of the Star Chamber were one of the rallying points of the opposition that organized around Oliver Cromwell, and ultimately resulted in the execution of the deposed king. The term star chamber became a generalized term for a court that was accountable to no one (except the chief executive) and was used to suppress political dissent or eliminate the enemies of the regime. The inherent lack of objectivity of politically motivated charges has led to substantial reforms in English law. Clearly there is something verydangerous and pernicious about secret courts. During the First and Second World Wars there were a number of spy trials held behind closed doors and the odd one thereafter, but secret trials in Britain is an affront to openness dating back to Magna Cartaand have never been used in civil cases. Then came a Conservative Bill called the Justice and Security Bill and was roundly opposed by everyone, literally everyone. From GlobalResearch The Bill was savaged by the Lords, but returned to the Commons with all the Lords amendments struck out. On the day of the vote on gay marriages it slipped through the vote in the select committee with the vote of one backwoods Ulsterman rushed in at the last minute. (The vote was held at the same time as members were in the lobbies voting on the gay marriage Bill). This law when passed, as it will be, can then be applied to all and any offence, even as lowly as a traffic accident. Accused persons will never be told of what they are charged and of course it is very unlikely they would be found not guilty. That was back in 2013, today we have no idea what cases are being tried in this way. Britains alleged complicity in the kidnap and rendition of suspects sent to Libya for torture is an alarming case in point.One only has to imagine a situation where an innocent personis suing the government for damages for torture and kidnap, in one case including that of a wife and 12-year-old daughter, then losing thecase, without being present or ever knowing the reason why or what was said. Phillip Johnston of The Telegraph wrote an excellent piece entitled Secret trials: Democracies die behind closed doors which is well worththe read. It relays the real life horror of justice being used as a political weapon in modern-day Britain. In another piece by The Bureau of Investigative Journalism entitled How do you prove youre not a national security risk? a man was sacked by the Home Office on national security grounds without ever being told why or for what reason. Overnight, this mans life lay in ruins with his lawyers arguing against the Governments controversial use of secret evidence and closed court hearings. In a recent 150-page study, examining the use of secret evidence in a number ofleading EU countries, state requests for evidence considered in secret on the grounds of national security was found tosignificantly hinder the judiciary system from ensuring fair trials. One has to remember we are discussing members of the European Union here, not North Korea. Commissioned by the European Parliaments Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE), the report says the use of secret evidence undermines human rights and poses a threat to the rule of law in Europe. One shouldnt forget that the Conservatives are aimingto scrap Human Rights laws as well. However, the UKs Ministry of Justice today told the European Parliament it was not the business of MEPs to interfere with national security issues because these are the responsibility of member states alone. The reportlaid out particular criticism for the UK. One of the reports authors saidthat Britain was a worrying example of what can go wrong.France, Spain, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands and Italy all have secret courts but it appears that not oneof them have gone anywhere near as far as the UK in the systematic use of secret evidence in trials. Many people do not realise the widespreaduse of secret courts in the UK. They are commonlyused in deportation and immigration hearings but alsoemployment tribunals amongst many others. The Investigatory Powers Tribunal,hears complaints about surveillance by public bodies such as MI5, the police or even local governmentin fact, the only Tribunal to whom complaints about the Intelligence Services can be directed andhears evidence in secret. In one such case, Poole Borough Councilwere spying on a family to see if they were lying about which school catchment area they lived in. This is the only time the court has found againstthe authorities and the only reason we know about it. In thesecases the government department or agency asks the judge to present evidence to the court without the defendant even being granted access to any of that information or evidence against them. In a bizarre twist of irony, secret evidence may include material which has been gained via the illegal interception bythe security services of the defendants communications including that of conversations deemed legally privileged with lawyers as in the case ofLibyan Abdel-Hakim Belhaj, who was abducted by MI6 and the CIA and tortured in Libya. Alarmingly, thereport alsodisclosed that there was anextremelack of formal rules on the quality of admissible evidence. This meant that hearsay, evidence from a second- or even third-hand contact could be admitted with no confirmed source attributed as a means of validity. Here we are seeing the emergence of something far more sinister. It should surprise no one that the government response to this report via a Ministry of Justicespokesperson simply said: The EU Treaties are quite clear that matters concerned with national security are the concern of Member States, not the EU. Gaining Royal Assent on 25th April 2013, openDemocracyUK said It is only a matter of time before secret courts are in use in civil cases across the United Kingdom. openDemocracyUKs excellent article headed Secret Courts: 8 nightmare scenarios is also well worth the read because as it has turned out, nothing is now conjecture or speculation, secret courts have expanded and covert evidenceis used for them. In another rather shady piece of legislation, the law now allows police to present transcripts of indistinct audio they have listened to many times in the role of a so-called ad hoc expert and present evidence as fact even though nothing distinguishable can be determined. InJuly last year the then Justice Minister Chris Grayling published an extremely short report about the closed material procedure which was clearly designed to tell us as little as possible about secret courts. We learn from the report that in five cases the Secretary of State showed judges secret, undisclosed evidence. Yet nobody knows what these cases were, and even charities like Liberty have been forced to admit they dont actually know which cases hes referring to. We dont even know if there more cases. As we are now seeing, the government uses national security as a shield to hide behind whenever it has inconvenient information that it wants to keep hidden for whatever reason. The problem is, as said before democracies die behind closed doors. The European Courts have done nothing as thecorrupt heart of Europe will always put big business over citizens rights. TTIP is evidence of this.The most controversial part of the deal is the Investor State Dispute Settlements (ISDS). These provisions essentially allow private corporations to sue national governments in guess what secret courts. You can read more from Graham Vanbergen at his site TruePublica.org.uk Preparing the grounds for the Democracy morphs into perpetual debt war, then finally, tyranny. Its built into it. For more information read: Plato. Its completely in your face weve been tricked all along. Whatever is done, is done in The Peoples NAME. And that is all.

Politics = owned by gangs of project managers who control The Peoples hearts minds the rules of The Hustle, or Law as they call it, on behalf of the corporations, who provide reality are owned by the banks who seem to be all owned by things called Zionists they supply the mouldy pigeon crumbs or Economy. These creatures dont like The People. They see us as vermin. Truly. Theyre only nice when theyre gorged on war not for very long. Beyond these owners Im not sure, but I lean toward some kind of Dark Tetrad Psychopathic disease involving something unearthly. We have to stop complying with the system. Its the only way, I do know that. They treat us like they do because we have no respect for ourselves. 
2	Angry Muslims Attack Sarah Palin And Demand THIS You can always count on former Alaska governor Sarah Palin for one thing: a raw, uncensored opinion. Over the past few years, Palins opinions have gotten her a group of strong, dedicated followers who appreciate hearing it like it is. Its also gotten her in some serious trouble. Recently, Palin sparked controversy once again when she posted a video on her Facebook page speaking out against the growing threat of radical Islamic jihad. As crazy as it sounds, a U.S. citizen who leaves this country to join ISIS, al Qaeda, or any other terrorist organization does not immediately loser his or her citizenship, Palin told her followers. That needs to change. Palin makes a valid point. Despite Congressional attempts to change this policy, American citizens are still able to join terrorist organizations that are out to demolish Americaand they get to stay here. Palin goes on to detail a story about a recent arrest of three men in New York, who were attempting to travel to Syria to join ISIS. If they had tried, they would have been allowed back into the country after training for jihad, making them the perfect candidates for a terrorist attack on the United States. The threat of radical Islam is real, Palin concluded. Its growing, and ignoring it wont make it go away. How many more wake-up calls do we need?

Mark isnt just fighting for himself. See more below. From Randy Buchler, publicist for Bakers Green Acres: As a publicist for Bakers Green Acres, I am asking for your help. Their domestic family farm operation has been all but destroyed over the last 2+ years due to government harassment, threats and an unconstitutional Invasive Species Order and Declaratory Ruling from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. However, on February 26th, 2014, the DNR and Attorney Generals office conceded that Bakers pigs are no longer illegal. Their reversal on their stance with Bakers pigs was a move to avoid going to trial where they would have been forced to explain their selective enforcement under oath. It also resulted in a ruling that there would be no damages awarded to Mark and his family. But, that doesnt mean its over. Now is the time to hold our leaders of the State of Michigan responsible for their actions. From the DNR to the Attorney Generals office to the Governors office, we have been let down time and time again. The elected officials and bureaucrats that are not representing the Constitution of the people must be replaced. The agendas they are serving are that of Corporate and self interests, not that of the people. We the People have the power to change that, as this is an election year. But, we must act now!

3	The Information War on a Whole New Level: SpaceUlson Gunnar In nations like Russia, China or Iran, ruling governments and local industry have begun creating their own Internets, their own alternatives to US-controlled social media platforms and search engines, and in some cases, even their own hardware to run it all on. They have also taken a cue from the US and decided to put in kill switches and censorship measures to prevent information from abroad being piped into their nation and disseminated among their populations. Or more accurate than saying to prevent information from abroad, one could say, propaganda from abroad. For instance, the US State Departments Voice of America network openly attempts to insert narratives favorable to US interests in targeted countries. So important does the US State Department see this mission, it has even attempted to construct independent communication networks by building their own towers and relay stations. The US State Department has also spent millions of dollars on developing an Internet in a suitcase, or a means to create an Internet among activists even when the government of a nation targeted by the US for regime change shuts down the real Internet. Far from science fiction, the New York Times would even cover it in their article, U.S. Underwrites Internet Detour Around Censors. But the problem the US State Department and the special interests that underwrite it, is that such solutions are easily overcome by other governments, and even non-state actors operating in the defense of their nation against US-backed sedition. In order to crowdsource such a project, and have it spread prolifically across the planet, it must be made to appear altruistic, unattached to the political subversion it is actually created for, and put into the hands of unwitting, well-intentioned hackers for the purpose of building it, refining it and perpetually updating it to adapt and overcome whatever challenges it faces. Enter the Outernet At first glance, the Outernet looks like an amazing social project by genuine people interested in empowering people with the vast amounts of free information available on the Internet. It is a satellite-based broadcast, meaning it can reach anyone on Earth with a receiver. And while it talks about a library in your pocket and how having that information could change society, it also talks about the inability for sovereign governments to censor it. But who would want to censor a library? At second glance, one will notice Syed Karim, the founder of Outernet. Karim was previously director of innovation at the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) which, surprise, funds the Outernet. And in turn, MDIF is run by former employees of Open Society, with Open Society funding MDIF. In other words, at second glance, we see Open Society behind the Outernet through a series of carefully concealed fronts and an incestuous, tangled web of conflicts of interest. The initial nobility of the concept only further spirals into the abyss of government- and corporate-sponsored mass public persuasion and manipulation when one reads the archives of what has actually been broadcast already using Outernet. Some of my favorites include war surgery, perfect for Americas terrorist mercenary army now operating in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Libya. There is also FEMA, WHOs Ebola site and the Albert Einstein Institution: Advancing Freedom Through Nonviolent Action. The Albert Einstein Institution, it should be remembered, played a central role in building up the US State Departments various networks behind so-called color revolutions that have since hit Ukraine, the Middle East and even as far as Southeast and East Asia. Content is broadcast based on votes. But as everyone should know, voting itself is subject to mass manipulation either of the voters own perception, or of the very mechanics of the vote itself. It is also very clear that content that is either well sponsored, or is put out by well-organized groups, gets placed toward the top of the list including links to the Jehovah Witnesses. Thus the great equalizer Karim claimed Outernet is, is in fact yet another channel of Western government and corporate propaganda, giving those who already monopolize vast territory amid the information war, yet another weapon to use against unsuspecting minds. The only real feature that makes Outernet different from cable television or the Internet, is the fact that it is broadcast from a satellite, and thus difficult to block in a targeted country, and receivable by whomever the US State Department takes pilfered tax dollars and buys receiver sets for. Currently, however, there is also a lot of very useful information that is being broadcast, voted up by legitimate users of the system, using the system as it should in theory be used. The problem is, whenever special interests want, they can override the vote, and spread propaganda and sedition anywhere on Earth. It should be noted that projects by Google and Facebook, both partners of the NSA and its information war against humanity, have similar plans to Outernet. They propose roving drones or airships that transmit the Internet all over the world like Outernets satellite arrangement. Again, it would be assets controlled by the US government and corporations, and potentially beyond the reach of sovereign nations targeted by broadcasts and the sedition they are there to support. It is clear that at least one foot has been placed in space, regarding the ongoing and ever-evolving information war. Other nations are likely to follow suit, placing their own broadcasters above the West and beaming down information the West would otherwise like controlled or silenced altogether. For the hackers and enthusiasts clamoring over the idea of Outernet, they cant be blamed. But they would be wise to look deeper into who is behind it, and think about alternatives they could create to truly realize this concept as it should be, and deny these interests yet another noble cause to hide behind, and ultimately ruin with their deceit.

2	Norway City Declares, We Have The Lost The City To Islam 36-year-old Sturla Nstvik of Oslo was going about his life as usual when the barrel of a pistol came crashing down on his forehead. For almost an hour after that, he was held hostage by a group of robbers. This is just one example of the apocalyptic level of cultural violence in the city, where people openly sell drugs and women are being raped at night. Nstviks story is just one of many like his. In the past ten years alone, more than 4,000 people have been robbed in the town center. The majority of them are young men. The robbers are known for playing on the fear of their victims, torturing them with severe threats in order to leave an impact on them. Nstvik is the 351st robbery victim this year, and as many as 50 assault-rapes have been reported in the same time period. While Nstvik was in the hospital, authorities told him that everybody should have the right to feel safe but that they had no way of halting the robberies. We have lost the city, authorities concluded. What do you think? Does this violence need to be stopped?

Recently, Joey was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and she had to make the difficult decision to stop treatment and focus her final days on spending time with her daughter. Joey was first diagnosed with cervical cancer in June of last year, after giving birth to her daughter Indiana. Initially, the family was hopeful that treatments were working, but the cancer quickly returned. Sometimes there just arent enough surgeriesor doctorsor chemotherapiesor prayers, Rory wrote in a recent blog post. And you have to wipe the tears from your cheeks and say the words that you were hoping to never have to sayenough. So we did what you do when the medicine isnt working, and the doctors are at a lossand when the statistics say you can do more chemo, but it will only buy you a little time. We came home. Not to die. But to live. In order to optimize their time together, the couple decided to cancel their November and December country music tour dates. We dont have forever, he wrote. Weve got right now. And thats enough. Even though we know weve reached the end of what medicine can doand while we prepare for what God has put in front of usJoey and I will continue to pray for a miracle. The Feeks have also reached out to their family, friends, and fans for prayers. Will you pray for this family?

1	Citing historical legislative accomplishments, an improving economy, and the American people's resilience in the face of adversity, President Barack Obama declared Tuesday that the state of the unionaside from all the weirdos, freaks, and truly bizarre citizens out there who are 'just really, really strange'is strong. 'Mr. Speaker, Vice President Biden, members of Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow Americans,' Obama said, 'nearly two years into our recovery from a recession that left our financial system on the verge of collapse, I stand here today confident that America is on a path to a better tomorrow, despite all the nutjobs and lunatics out there whose behavior is, honestly, kind of weirding the rest of us out.' 'I mean, there are some serious wackos in this country,' added Obama, singling out those with pierced eyelids and those who are always loudly clearing their throats for some reason. 'But together, with the exception of those 9/11 conspiracy theory freaks, we can answer history's call and lay the foundation for future generations.' Delivering the second State of the Union address of his presidency, Obama used the 70-minute speech to strike an optimistic tone, saying that Americans are starting to feel the effects of the economic rebound and that, other than the 10 to 15 percent of the U.S. populace that is out of its mind and probably needs professional help, he has never been more confident in the nation's abilitymaniacs notwithstandingto rise to the challenges of our time. The president said the economy was growing stronger despite all of these people. According to the president, aside from Americans who save all their cardboard boxes, write feverishly in the margins of newspapers, have backs covered with a giant eagle tattoo, engage in frottage, call in to talk-radio shows, can only achieve orgasm by drinking their sexual partner's blood, work in the fashion industry, clip their fingernails on a public bus and think that's perfectly okay, look up images of open sores on the Internet, don't have their children vaccinated, or sit at home and watch hours upon hours of The Andy Griffith Show, or whom you can tell are nutso just by looking at them, the country is headed in the right direction. 'That doesn't mean we still don't have a lot of work to do,' Obama said. 'The unemployment rate remains too high, and many hardworking Americansnormal ones who don't own pet boa constrictorsstill struggle to put food on the table.' The president later made it clear that he was not referring to those citizens whose strangeness makes them unique, fascinating people with a genuinely interesting worldview, but the types of crazies who believe women raped by their fathers should not be entitled to an abortion. While the response to the speech has thus far been positive, Republicans questioned if Obama's assessment of the war in Afghanistan was realistic. In addition, they demanded to know why he omitted Americans who are obsessed with exercise, which they said is pretty weird if you think about it. 'We liked that the president said the economy would be his main focus going forward,' Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) said. 'But we have a fundamental disagreement about the government's role in that process. We believe permanent tax cuts for the wealthy, even the deranged wealthy who get so much plastic surgery that they look like cats, will spur economic growth.' Facing a divided Congress for the first time in his presidency, Obama addressed the partisan split directly and outlined what he hoped would be a new era of political discourse. 'When I look out in this chamber, I see people who came to Washington not to play politics, but to make the lives of everyday Americans better,' Obama said. 'I also see some real crackpots, some severely messed-up individuals on both sides of the aisle who make me uncomfortable simply because they're in the same room as me.' 'With all due respect, Sen. Bernie Sanders, you are very weird,' continued Obama, addressing the Vermont legislator directly. 'You mutter to yourself when nobody's around. There's not a soul within 20 feet of you, and you're there moving your lips and hands. Who are you talking to, Bernie?' In the end, however, Obama stressed that all citizens, from those who just want to provide for their families to those who try to have sex with bridges, can come together to form a more perfect union. 'Americans are known for their strength, perseverance, and, let's face it, being a little off,' Obama concluded. 'It's in our DNA. It's what makes us great. Heck, sometimes I turn my music up really loud and just scream at myself in the mirror for an hour. That's a pretty fucked-up thing. May God bless the United States of America.' 
2	BREAKING: Steile Family Goes After Obama, Launches Huge Plan To Make Him Pay For Their Daughters Death Kathryn Steinle was shot by an illegal immigrant in San Francisco. Now, her devastated family is suing city and federal authorities for a lack of oversight when they made the decision to release violent offenders back into the country when they should have been deported. The lawsuit was filed on Wednesday of last week. Steinles family maintained that Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, the alleged shooter, was released from custody three months prior to the murder in spite of a hold that was requested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In July, at the time of Steinles shooting, Lopez-Sanchez was already a seven-time felon. His charges included drug possession and manufacture. He had already been deported five separate times in the last 11 years. Despite these facts, San Francisco released him from custody. Many are claiming that the release was due to sanctuary city policies, forbidding the city from holding anyone because of immigration status. Its something that needs to end, Steinles mother, Liz Sullivan, told reporters. We dont need them here, not violent felons. Theyre violent felons and theyre illegal, enough said. Its too late for us that ship has sailed. But we want it for future possible victims. Weve got to put an end to it. What do you think? Do you pray for Steinles family in this time of grief? Are you angry for them? 
2	BREAKING: Obamas Ex Girlfriend Comes Forward With Shocking Admission About His Past [VIDEO] Well, this cant be good for the President. According to reports, his ex-girlfriends have paired up to publish a tell-all book about Obamaand theyve got some shocking secrets to share. One of the co-authors is Genevieve Cook, Obamas girlfriend before Michelle, who lived with in the early 1980s. During that time, Cook kept a thorough diary of their time together and she reveals some of the warning signs she witnessed. Now, shes seen these traits manifest in the White House. In her journal, Genevieve writes to Obama that you carefully filter everything in your mind and heart. In other words, Obama is very calculated in the way he chooses to present himself. Cook also goes on to predict that Obama will end up marrying a very strongblack woman. What do you think of the books release? Will you read it? 
1	Police are currently investigating the death of police detective Leroy 'Encyclopedia' Brown, 49, whose body was discovered in a Dumpster behind the Idaville Public Library Monday. The trash bin inside of which police found the mangled body of Detective Brown (inset). 'Detective Brown's death is a great loss,' said Idaville Police Commissioner Rupert 'Bugs' Meany, a longtime critic of Brown's unorthodox investigative technique who nevertheless appeared to be shaken by the murder. 'Thanks to him, Idaville has the highest arrest-to-conviction-due-to-obscure-trivia rate in the nation. I believe I speak for everyone in Idaville when I say that Encyclopedia Brown was truly the greatest sleuth in sneakers.' Police discovered Brown's badly beaten, nearly decapitated body after the detective failed to respond to routine radio check-in calls. Pages from Brown's battered casebook, which contained such cryptic entries as 'Whales are mammals, not fish,' and 'Dinosaurs and cavemen did not live at the same time,' were found stuffed in the detective's mouth. Police said the only other evidence found at the crime scene was a pair of 'disgusting sneakers' and a damaged floral-patterned cookie jar that held dozens of human teeth. According to friends, Brown spent hours at the library each evening memorizing factsblooming cycles of house plants, the notes of the harmonic scale, America's state capitalsthat often proved crucial to his violent-crime-unit investigations. 'Leroy taught me everything I know about investigative police work,' said Capt. Sally Kimball-Brown, Brown's friend since childhood and wife until their divorce in 1986. 'You can be sure we'll use the technique that bears his name to track down his killer.' 'Encyclopedia was a good man who helped a lot of people,' Kimball-Brown added. 'For him, no case was too small.' Brown, the only son of former Idaville Police Chief Brown, is survived only by Kimball-Brown. Brown's salary, $.25 per day plus expenses, will be placed in a fund to establish a criminology scholarship in his name at Idaville University. Kimball-Brown said Brown was so respected that even several criminals he helped convict have stepped forward to assist investigators. 'Thanks to him, I got a new start,' said parolee Margaret 'Maggie' DeLong, who was convicted for intellectual-property theft late last year in Case 03-823: The Case Of The Stolen Tape, but was later released on Brown's recommendation. 'You can bet your bottom dollar I'll be working closely with the cops on this one.' Brown's office, which now stands empty. 'Looks like Brown finally ran up against a case he couldn't crack,' said a caller who identified himself to police only as 'Stewie.' 'But everything isn't what it seems here. Check out a gang called the Tigers. See who really runs it. There's your clue.' Officers from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's Internal Affairs Division are investigating the lead by making a long list of all the facts they know about tigers. They are also investigating wildcats, the jungle, zoo history, and rumors of unrest within the Idaville Police Department. 'Leroy and Commissioner Meany butted heads before,' Kimball-Brown said. 'Leroy knew he was the better detective, and it bothered him that Bugs' smooth-talking and glad-handing got him the commissioner's seat, in spite of his spotty past. It's also common knowledge that Bugs resented Encyclopedia's cleverness, which often made Bugs look like a clumsy, no-necked bully.' Tensions between Brown and Meany came to a head in 1999 when, against Meany's wishes, Brown testified before the Florida Supreme Court in The Case Of The Slippery Salamander. Meany publicly threatened Brown several days after the The Miami Herald lauded 'ace case-cracker Encyclopedia Brown' for his expert testimony on a dead cockroach, a runaway judge, a peacock's egg, and a stolen surfboard. Because of the long-standing mutual enmity between Meany and Brown, Meany was named among the suspects in The Case Of Encyclopedia Brown's Mangled Corpse. Meany denied the allegations. 'It's true that Detective Brown and I didn't see eye to eye, but I would never do something so downright dirty rotten as murder him,' Meany said. 'Besides, it's a matter of public record that, at the time the crime was committed, I was at the North Pole watching the penguins.' While no solid leads have surfaced, Kimball-Brown said she has a hunch that Brown knew his killer. 'The bitter irony is that Brown would have easily cracked a case like this one,' Kimball-Brown said. 'I just can't help but wonder: WHAT DID ENCYCLOPEDIA KNOW THAT WOULD HAVE HELPED HIM SOLVE HIS OWN MURDER?' For the answer to this story, turn to page 76.

3	The Age Of FATCA Is Upon Us: Credit Suisse Admits Guilt For Money LaunderingJeff Berwick What perhaps makes the situation more interesting than the exorbitant fine is the fact that a financial institution was forced to plead guilty of criminal acts. It took months to determine the penalty, which, against the banks will, includes a monitor henceforth placed on the banks operations.Credit Suisse is the largest financial company in 20 years to plead guilty to the non-crime of money laundering. The plea marks the end of an era.One of the shell entities implicated, according to the government, dated back a century or just after the creation of the federal tax code and the income tax. Of the $2.6 billion fine, The Department of Justice will receive $1.8 billion and New York States top financial regulator, Benjamin Lawsky, will receive $715 million of the stolen loot. This case shows that no financial institution, no matter its size or global reach, is above the law, Eric Holder said. A companys profitability or market share can never and will never be used as a shield from prosecution or penalty. And this action should put that misguided notion definitively to rest. With the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) coming into full effect on January 1, 2016, and the US government actively prosecuting banks, only savvy Americans will be able to find financial institutions abroad to service them.We saw this coming at The Dollar Vigilante Blog, and have written about it extensively. Europe will not be a better place to be than the US, and not just because the US sees itself as the worlds police officer.The European Union wants to steal the savings of Europe, and is currently paving the way to make this possible, just like the US. Only the most astute of money managers will survive The End Of The Monetary System As We Know It (TEOTMSAWKI). That means being sensitive and open-minded to the changing economic climate and being very aware of all of the rapid changes descending upon the world banking system. Credit Suisse is not the first victim of the new US crusade to extort (tax) its citizens all over the planet. In 2009 the Swiss bank UBS settled with the US government over similar accusations for $780 million and to hand over the names of Americans with secret bank accounts. For US taxpayers it is going to be impossible to hide money in Switzerland, and it is just a matter of time that this is the case also for Germans and Britons, Asher Rubinstein, a partner at Rubinstein Rubinstein LLP in New York, told Reuters at the time. Switzerland will no longer be a tax haven. Switzerlands oldest bank, Wegelin Co., pled guilty to similar charges in 2013 and thereafter went out of business. A smaller Swiss bank with no US presence, Bank Frey, is in the process of shutting down for similar reasons, which is a perfect example of how government regulation forces smaller enterprises out of business, hurting the overall economy, while too-big-to-failinstitutions remain in business. We now see that there is no hiding from the long arm of the US Extortion Racket. Banks, scared of being taken out by the US government, are rushing to demonstrate compliance. Recently, forty-seven countries signed up to automatically share bank data, including key financial centers Singapore and Switzerland. Signatories includes all 34 members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and the British jurisdictions of Jersey and Guernsey, all of which have been considered safehavens in the past.The OECD also ensured the participation of 18 non-OECD nations, such as Singapore. Being touted as a major step towards cracking down on global tax evasion, the agreements demonstrate how financial privacy is a thing of the past, and how nobodys money is safe from over-reaching, tyrannical governments unless they structure themselves properly with high level advice as does TDV Offshore and TDV Wealth Management. The 47 countries have committed themselves to passing new domestic laws allowing them to collect information on all bank accounts and automatically exchange it with other participating countries. GET STRUCTURED NOW The Credit Suisse settlement demonstrates the hopeless task of banks ensuring they will not be persecuted by the US government for alleged wrongdoing, possibly causing them to lose their license and ability to operate. Banking will become a dramatically consolidated industry in the next 2-5 years and the banks left standing will act like law enforcement authorities in many ways. There are still many questions left to be answered about the Credit Suisse case. One of which is what will happen to all the American clients who were banking there? It is a mystery to me that the US government didnt require as part of the agreement that the bank cough up some of the names of US clients with secret Swiss bank accounts, said Carl Levin, a senator who headed the committee that had published the report on Credit Suisse. Over 22,000 accounts were held by Americans at CS. Most failed to provide tax authorities with required information. The settlement leaves no accountability for taxes owed. If I were one of these Americans, I might be holding my breath. Most countries will soon have entered into info-sharing agreements in the coming years, so you need to get structured now if you dont want to fall under their dragnet even if you are fortunate enough to not be an American. Ifyou are from any Western country you can assume bank privacy is dead the only way to keep some privacy and security for your assets is to Fatca proof yourselfthrough offshore companies and trusts. If you dont have millions, contact TDV Offshore today to learn the options available to you.

3	Insider Trading and Financial Terrorism on ComexPaul Craig Roberts and Dave Kranzler As we explained in previous articles on this subject, the price of gold is not determined in markets where physical gold is bought and sold but in the paper futures market where contracts trade and speculators place bets on the price of gold. Most of the contracts traded on the Comex futures market are settled in cash. The value of the contracts used to short gold and drive down the price is well in excess of the actual amount of physical gold that is kept on the Comex and available for delivery. The Comex gold futures market trades 23 hours per day on a global computer system called Globex and on the NYC trading floor from 8:20 a.m. EST to 1:30p.m. EST (the 8:30 a.m. opening time on the face of the graph below is a draftsmans error). The Comex floor trading session is the highest volume trading period during any 23 hour trading period because that is when most of the large U.S. financial institutions and other users of Comex futures (jewelry manufactures and gold mining companies) are open for business and therefore transact their Comex business during Comex floor hours in order to achieve the best trading execution at the lowest cost. The bullion banks who are members and directors of Comex have access to the computers used to clear Comex trades, which means they can see where the stop-loss orders are set. When they decide to short the market, they start selling Comex futures in large amounts to force the market low enough to trigger the stop-loss orders being used by the hedge fund computers. For instance, huge short-sell orders at 2:20 a.m. Monday morning triggered an avalanche of stop-loss selling, as shown in this graph of Mondays (July 14) action (click on graph to enlarge): In the graph above, the first circled red bar shows the flash crash that was engineered at 2:20 a.m. EST, a typically low-volume, quiet period for gold trading. 13.5 tonnes of short-sales were unloaded into the Comex computer trading system. The second circled red bar shows a second engineered flash-crash right before the Comex floor opened at 8:20 a.m. EST. This was triggered by sales of futures contracts representing 27.5 tonnes of gold. A third hit (not shown) occurred at 9:01 a.m. This time contracts representing 40 tonnes of gold hit the market. The banks use the selling from the hedge funds to cover the short positions theyve amassed and book trading profits as they cover their short positions at price levels that are below the prices at which their short positions were established. This is insider trading and unrestrained financial terrorism at its finest. As shown on the graph below, on Tuesday, July 15, another flash-crash in gold was engineered in the middle of Janet Yellens very dovish Humphrey-Hawkins testimony. Contracts representing 45 tonnes of gold were sold in 3 minutes, which took gold down over $13 and below the key $1300 price level. There were no apparent news triggers or specific comments from Yellen that would have triggered a sudden sell-off in gold just a massive dumping of gold futures contracts. No other related market (stocks, commodities) registered any unusual movement up or down when this occurred: Between July 14 and July 15, contracts representing 126 tonnes of gold was sold in a 14-minute time window which took the price of gold down $43 dollars. No other market showed any unusual or extraordinary movement during this period. To put contracts for 126 tonnes of gold into perspective, the Comex is currently reporting that 27 tonnes of actual physical gold are classified as being available for deliver should the buyers of futures contracts want delivery. But the buyers are the banks themselves who wont be taking delivery. One motive of the manipulation is to operate and control Comex trading in a manner that helps the Fed contain the price of gold, thereby preventing its rise from signaling to the markets that problems festering in the U.S. financial system are growing worse by the day. This is an act of financial terrorism supported by federal regulatory authorities. Another motive is to help support the relative trading level of the U.S. dollar, as weve described in previous articles on this topic. And, of course, the banks make money from the manipulation of the futures market. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the branch of government which was established to oversee the Comex and enforce long-established trading regulations, has been presented with the evidence of manipulation several times. Its near-automatic response is to disregard the evidence and look the other way. The only explanation for this is that the Government is complicit in the price suppression and manipulation of gold and silver and welcomes the insider trading that helps to achieve this result. The conclusion is inescapable: if illegality benefits the machinations of the US government, the US government is all for illegality.

1	Traveling from as far away as park benches on the other side of town, hundreds of rabid temporary housing enthusiasts lined up overnight Friday in hopes of being among the first admitted to the city's newest homeless shelter. 'I got here around 3 a.m., and already there was a crowd of people slumped over out front,' said Jerome Ashford, a die-hard fan of having a roof over his head. 'I had a feeling it was going to be popular, but this turnoutit's just insane. If I can't get in tonight, I don't know what I'll do.' Mega-fans of clean bedding line up to be the first to stay in the shelter. Since last Tuesday, men and women of all ages have left the familiar comforts of air-conditioned bus stations and ATM lobbies to brave the elements outside the much-anticipated Mission District shelter. While most arrive with nothing more than three partially smoked cigarettes and a slice of bologna wrapped in a handkerchief, others have come fully prepared for the long wait with shopping carts full of supplies. 'I haven't been this excited since the bakery down the street threw out an entire trash bag of bagels,' said Lawrence Jones, who took the week off from collecting aluminum cans and selling his plasma to a nearby blood bank to wait outside the shelter. 'Sure, I haven't showered in a public fountain in days, and I miss the warmth of my alleyway back home, but in the end, it'll all be worth it.' Although the prospect of sleeping outdoors for nothing more than the most basic of human necessities might seem extreme to some, many in attendance say they've been looking forward to the shelter's grand opening since first reading about it beneath a blanket of newspapers. 'I started begging for subway fare the moment I heard the news,' said Wendy Slovic, 41, adding that there was 'no way' she could wait a couple of weeks for the crowds to thin out. 'Say whatever you want, but I wouldn't trade my place in line for all the scratch tickets in the world.' For some, the anticipation of lying on a cot or having three meals a day is so great that blacking out at night has become an almost impossible task. Still many others, who have been eagerly counting down the days since fishing an old wall calendar from a dumpster, can hardly put their growing elation into words. 'Where is my soul, they took my soul away,' said Michael 'Bone' Zahn, who for the last week hasn't left his place at the front of the line even to use the restroom. 'Broken windows like spiderwebs, a stone on a rocking chair, rain rain rain rainbegone, you cloth demons!' Among the clamoring mass of refuge fanatics, the most devoted arrived early Sunday morning in full costume, including old shopping bags that had been fashioned into makeshift footwear and heavy ash-colored makeup covering their faces and hands. Some even carried a variety of creative signs with them. 'Back when I started lining up to get into shelters, there were only 10 or 15 of us at most,' said Samuel Robins, 63, gesturing at the teeming crowd of shelter enthusiasts on hand. 'To see how far things have come in the last decade alone. It's unbelievable really.' 'Many of the kids here today weren't even alive when the first shelter was built on this street,' Robins added. Despite the growing excitement, a number of mega-fans who have spent the last week sleeping in front of the shelter, and the week before that sleeping behind the shelter, said they are trying to keep their already high expectations in check. 'I know it probably won't live up to the picture I have in my head, but it's still hard not to get your hopes up,' harmonica musician Johnnie Brooklyn, 39, said. 'You want it to be amazingfor there to be hot food on hand, maybe even hot waterbut at the same time, you have to be realistic about these sorts of things.' 'Man, hot water would be nice, though,' Brooklyn added. While the mob scene in front of the shelter has caused a few minor disruptions, including one incident in which a passerby was asked for spare change 143 consecutive times, only a handful of residents have reacted negatively to the swelling crowds. 'To be honest, I feel sorry for them,' said Beverly Sherman, an administrative coordinator for Wells Fargo Bank. 'To have so little in your life that you think nothing of camping out on the streets for days on endit's depressing.' Added Sherman: 'Seriously, these people need help.'

Despite what the mainstream media would like sources to believe, those interviewed said Tuesday that, unless they missed something while they were sleeping, the United States of America had not turned overnight into some communist-type nation that didn't care about ideals like freedom, liberty, or democracy anymore. 'I've never been very good at geography, but I'm pretty sure this isn't China we're supposed to be living in,' Denver resident Jim Sanborn said. 'At least, I didn't see any tanks rolling down the street last time I looked out my window.' 'Nope,' added Sanborn, pulling back the curtain of his kitchen window. 'Sure doesn't look like Beijing to me.' The fifth largest and single greatest country in the world, the United States of America was founded in 1776 when our founding forefatherswho sources claimed were turning over in their goddamn graves right nowsigned the Declaration of Independence. The Bill of Rights was ratified 13 years later, guaranteeing each citizen freedom, the cost of which is reportedly not free. 'You know, I seem to recall a whole lot of our young men dying so that we could have these many liberties we enjoy,' Rebecca Treeman, a Miami-area mother of four, told reporters. 'So excuse me if I don't jump with joy every time I see someone trashing the red, white, and blue.' Treeman went on to explain that these colors, which make up the American flag, do not run. A survey conducted by Rasmussen Reports bolstered sources' claims that more and more people don't seem to know that this was founded as a Christian nation, and that a majority of them that don't would be better off packing up and moving some place where they don't believe in things like the Bible. Eighty-three percent of those polled said the United States is not some backwards socialist haven; 64 percent believed that the United States was not France or Sweden or some godforsaken place like Iraq; 29 percent said the government had no business getting involved; and 14 percent said that America was still America and would stay that way if they had anything to do with it. Sources admitted that new policies introduced by you-know-who in the White House had given some the impression that America was a big old cash machine that liked to give handouts to any illegal immigrant who wandered across the border. But, they asserted, a close examination of the population at large reveals that, yup, we still speak a language called English around here. 'I respect people of all races and colors,' said contractor Dave Altschul of Santa Fe, NM. 'But hardworking Americans are losing their jobs every day. I don't know about you, but I'd rather celebrate the Fourth of July than Cinco de Mayo.' 'Last time I read the Constitution, it didn't say anything about Mexico,' Altschul added. Upon hearing that New York's redevelopment plans for the site of its 9/11 attack may include a 13-story mosque, a number of sources said they were confused by this fact, and asked reporters why they didn't get the memo that all 300 million Americans had converted to Islam all of a sudden. Sources also confirmed USA! USA! USA! USA! 'In the final analysis, it is the diversity of people and ideas that makes our nation great,' sociologist Rick Harper of Georgetown University said. 'However, just because people have the right to say that doesn't mean that they should. This is America. Love it or leave it.' 
1	In a reversal of longstanding league policy, NFL officials announced Friday that its stadiums will cease requiring all fans to piss directly on the bathroom floor next to urinals. Going forward, the NFL will no longer demand that all fans miss the urinal completely, pissing wildly onto the floor, wall, and adjacent urinal partitions, said NFL executive vice president Ray Anderson, emphasizing that the rule change was made in the interest of keeping up with the times. Obviously, we remain committed to honoring footballs hallowed traditions. Pissing onto the floor is, of course, still allowed and encouraged, but we wont enforce the rule that every single fan must always do so every time he goes to the bathroom. Anderson added that the ban on womens restrooms in NFL stadiums remains in effect. 
1	One of America's most beloved landmarks, the Washington Monument, became all the more stirring and inspiring Monday with the addition of disabled actor Christopher Reeve. Over 300,000 gathered at the Washington Monument Monday to watch Reeve's official bolting-in ceremony. Said Greensboro, NC, resident Cal Brewer: 'I wish I had the courage to be crippled like that.' Reeve, 44, paralyzed below the neck after a tragic equestrian mishap last year, was bolted to the pinnacle of the 555-foot monument and affixed with display spotlights for night viewing. He will remain there permanently, on 24-hour display. 'Christopher has shown himself to be a pillar of strength and courage who brings out the best in us all,' said John Beaumont, Director of U.S. Parks and Services. 'He was a logical addition to this already impressive monument. Once the idea was presented, nothing could stop us: not logistical problems, not budget constraints, not even the teary objections of Mr. Reeve.' The former Superman actor and his electric wheelchair were hoisted up the side of the towering obelisk by a tractor-powered cable pulley. Reeve was then welded to the pinnacle, facing east toward the Capitol, and bolted in place with iron slugs made from a cannonball fired at the battle of Yorktown. A bronze plaque at the foot of the monument describes Reeve's history and dimensions. It reads: 'We elevate you to the heavens, so that future generations may know of your courage and your almost total paralysis.' A crowd of almost 100,000 people, including many of Reeve's closest friends, gathered to watch the heartstrings-tugging installation. 'It was so beautiful,' said Jane Seymour, star of TV's Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, who co-starred with Reeve in the hit 1980 film Somewhere in Time. 'As the final welders were blasting away, the sparks were flying everywhere, and then they set off those fireworks. I honestly cried.' 'We brought the kids here to try and teach them about the courage and fortitude Washington showed at Valley Forge,' said Cal Brewer, a father of four from Greensboro, NC. 'Now, with Christopher Reeve up there, the whole scene just speaks for itself.' Added Brewer: 'I wish I had the courage to be crippled like that.' 'You can fly... you belong in the sky...,' sang celebrity guest Bette Midler, in a musical prelude to the formal dedication and attachment ceremony. 'Once upon a time, my dear friend Chris flew into our movie houses and into our hearts as the Man of Steel, soaring above the highest peaks. Though today he's wearing several hundred pounds of life-support equipment instead of his old red and blue tights, from the top of this monument he shall forever soar.' Midler, who performed 'Love Theme From The Movie Superman' to a standing ovation as the final weldings were secured into place, was a last-minute replacement for scheduled vocalist Margot Kidder, whose current whereabouts remain unknown. Though Reeve was unable to speak at the commemoration due to an intense fear of heights, no one was more moved by the ceremony than the actor himself. 'Please let me down,' the visibly touched celebrity said to reporters. 'I'm cold, and I miss my family.' Upon Reeve's natural death, he will be removed from the monument long enough to be encased in acrylic plastic, then reattached. Reeve's installation, planners say, will give him a new ability to touch and inspire people 24 hours a day as a public fixture, rain, snow or shine. 'Christopher touched us all with his heartfelt speeches at the Oscars and the Democratic Convention, but he just can't be everywhere at once,' Beaumont said. 'As it is, the Republicans have had to cripple their own actors to gain a comparable amount of emotional impact.' Republican actor Tom Selleck's spine was shattered by the GOP in August, gaining him many standing ovations at Republican fundraisers since. President Reagan praised his fellow acting veteran in a telegram read at the ceremony: 'Uhhh... blanket. Muhhh.' This is not the first time a showbiz notable has been added to a Washington, DC, attraction. Comedian George Burns spent the last few months of his life in the Smithsonian Institute's Museum of Arts and Industries, in a glass case between Fonzie's jacket from Happy Days and the original Kermit the Frog puppet. Bob Hope now occupies the case. In light of the project's success, The U.S. Department of Parks and Services is considering similar additions to its attractions. Plans are already being drafted to have hearing-impaired actress Marlee Matlin bolted to the Lincoln Memorial.

3	EPA Lifts Ban, BP Wins $40 Billion in New ContractsBy Joe Wright While these settlements are at least a record of BPs guilt, families who have lost loved onesrealize all too well that none of it amounts to what was truly lost. To add insult to injury, BP is still in business; in fact, strong as ever. Just days after the EPA lifted their one-year ban, the company has been awarded 24 new contracts valued at more than $40 billion. Just after the initial $4.5 billion fine was announced, Huffington Post sardonically noted the following:BP Oil-Spill Fine So Horrible, BPs Stock Price Only Rises 1 Percent,One of the five ways they put this in perspective was the following: Sales And Profits: BP in 2011 recorded revenue of $234.25 billion, with net income of $16 billion, according to data tracker FactSet. In other words, BP could pay even a $10 billion penalty with just nine months worth of profits. A $4.5 billion penalty would wipe out a little more than a single quarters profits. In this case, it will be paid out over five years beginning in 2013 meaning the hit to quarterly profits will be much gentler. BP has more than enough cash to cover this, meaning it wont have to borrow money to pay the costs, saving on interest payments. This latest Friday night ruling awaits its Wall Street reception in a short session on Monday before closing for Christmas. You can follow the stock price HERE. Every indication is that there will be little to no effect. And since the time of that article, posted 11/15/2012, BP stock has risen another17.42%. Despite that, the $40 billion in new contracts itself quickly replaces nearly all that was, or ever will be, lost in fines and legal actions. It also says a lot about how much protection is part of the Environmental Protection Agency. The bids entail rights to specifically explore the Gulf of Mexico, while also hinting at a special threatagreement that has taken place between BP and the EPA. Under the agreement, BP will implement stronger safety and corporate governance rules, and will be monitored by an EPA-approved independent auditor over the next five years. BP had filed a lawsuit against the EPA to have the ban lifted, but will now drop the suit as part of this months agreement. (Source) [emphasis added] So, as researchers still continue to gauge the long-term health and economic effects of BPs criminality, the EPA has granted BP the right to explore the very same area that they already devastated and profit unhindered once again. And if anyone is actually placated by the EPA-approved independent auditor just remember Ground Zero. The EPA quickly went on the record to assure people at Ground Zero following 9/11 that air quality was not an issue. Then-administrator Whitman stated at the time: We are very encouraged that the results from our monitoring of air quality and drinking water conditions in both New York and near the Pentagon show that the public in these areas is not being exposed to excessive levels of asbestos or other harmful substances, Whitman said. Given the scope of the tragedy from last week, I am glad to reassure the people of New York and Washington, D.C. that their air is safe to breathe and their water is safe to drink, she added. (Source) This, of course, has led to an untold number of people being negatively impacted, including an astounding number of first responders who have battled ever since to be compensated for the now-established cover-up. the CDC has confirmed that out of several hundred thousand first responders near the scene of Ground Zero, and an estimated 100,000 working the pile, more than 65,000 first responders were sickened by exposure to the toxic dust and later enrolled in a health monitoring program. Federal health authorities have tied some 58 types of cancer to the police, fire fighters, EMTs, military. National Guard and volunteers who later became ill from working the site. (Source) I offer the Ground Zero example, because that event is the exact parallel that was drawn by an epidemiologist in the aftermath of Deepwater Horizon and she worked for the petroleum industry to address negative health impacts: Withthe World Trade Center, there have been unpredictable adverse health effects to the populations that were exposed and not just the workers, she said. In this case, we have a soup of chemicals from the crude, chemicals from the dispersants and pollutants that were already in the water. Who can say how they will interact? (Source) Sure, who can say? Meanwhile, the actions of the EPA continue to speak volumes. Related selfnews Post Article: Recently by Joe Wright:

3	A Move Closer to a Global Cashless Society: Apple Pay Coming to Britain this SummerBy Steven MacMillan Your wallet. Without the wallet. Paying in stores or within apps has never been easier. Gone are the days of searching for your wallet. The wasted moments finding the right card. Now payments happen with a single touch. Apple Pay will change how you make purchases with breakthrough contactless payment technology and unique security features built right into the devices you have with you every day. So you can use your iPhone to pay in a simple, secure, and private way. Despite sounding like an easier and more convenient way to purchase goods and services, many around the world have voiced fears over the move towards a cashless society. Apple Pay is one step closer towards a global cashless society, where cash is banned and every transaction is tracked by authorities. Apple itself has been accused of violating its customers rights by allowing the National Security Agency (NSA) access to users private information, although Apple has denied this charge. If this accusation is true, however, can we trust Apple Pay to truly be a private way to make payments and not another tool for government surveillance? The trend towards contactless forms of payments has accelerated in recent years. In 2014, people using contactless cards to pay in stores and train stations trebled in the UK, with a record 2.32bn spent using this method of payment. Across the Atlantic, the majority of young Americans now prefer plastic to cash, according to a survey conducted last year by CreditCards.com. The survey found: A slight majority (51 percent) of consumers 18-29 prefer plastic to cash, the only age group to do so. A preference for cash becomes stronger in each advancing age bracket, until at age 65-plus, 82 percent prefer cash In all cases, however, the trend is clear. Regardless of some differences in magnitude based on demographic factors, plastic is replacing cash as the currency of choice even for small purchases. Governments and financial institutions have been waging a war on cash in recent years, a war that is only going to intensify in future years. Chase Bank, the largest in the US, has recently entered this battle by enacting a policy that restricts the use of cash. The policy includes prohibiting the storage of cash in its safety deposit boxes. Denmark and Sweden are at the forefront of the move towards a cashless global society, a move that is supported by such initiatives as the UN Capital Development Funds Better Than Cash Alliance. Funded by such notorious organisations as the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation, Citi Bank, the Ford Foundation and MasterCard, the alliance facilitates the transition for governments, the development community and the private sector by: Bill and Melinda Gates have been vocal proponents of a cashless society, euphemistically writing in the 2015 annual Gates letter that digital banking will give the poor more control over their assets and help them transform their lives. The couple then detail the importance of mobile phones in enabling this transition: The key to this will be mobile phones. Already, in the developing countries with the right regulatory framework, people are storing money digitally on their phones and using their phones to make purchases, as if they were debit cards. By 2030, 2 billion people who dont have a bank account today will be storing money and making payment with their phones. And by then, mobile money providers will be offering the full range of financial services, from interest-bearing savings accounts to credit to insurance. I am a strong supporter of the people of Africa and around the world having more control over their assets, but a digital cash-free economy in the hands of private corporations and nefarious foundations will only transfer more control into the hands of the elite. A centralized global cashless society would remove any hope of anonymity when purchasing goods and services, in addition to providing authoritarian regimes with the ability to financially cut-off dissenting citizens. So will Apple Pay really be a secure and private way to make purchases, or will it only serve as another way for the corporate-intelligence complex to gather data on every facet of your life? Please tell me what you think in the comments below . . . . Also see the selfnews Post Cashless Society Archive HERE.

They also voted to defund Planned Parenthood. The bill passed 52-47. Many Conservatives are unhappy that the bill did not go far enough to take down the Affordable Care Act. However, this is a big win for Conservatives. The vote we took today is a significant step towards repealing every word of Obamacare, Cruz said. This bill repeals as much of that failed law as we can under arcane senate rules and the narrow guidelines of the budget. Do you support the removal of Obamacare and defunding of Planned Parenthood?

3	Desensitization Training: Police Practice Fighting Angry ParentsDaisy Luther From time to time, I have been highly annoyed with the school that my daughter attends. I have set up meetings with teachers, principals, and administrators. I have brought in paperwork and pleaded my case on a variety of topics. I have made scathing remarks. Once, I even had the utter audacity to argue a point with the principal with my daughter right there in the room, which is apparently a no-no because it undermined the authority of the principal. However, I havent yet gone on a rampage against which the police would need to come in and defend the school against me. They must do things differently in Puyallup, Washington: Did you catch that? The idea was to test the response of police and firefighters to a situation that was right out of the news headlines. What news headlines? I read a lot of news every day and these angry parents taking over a school at gunpoint, requiring SWAT intervention, somehow completely escaped my notice! Where? When? Its very obvious what this actually is. It is desensitization training. desensitize verb d-sen(t)-s-tz to make emotionally insensitive or callous; specifically: to extinguish an emotional response (as of fear, anxiety, or guilt) to stimuli that formerly induced it. So, by this definition, they want to make it easier for normally moral people to perpetuate an attack on a group of people that would ordinarily not be their targets. They dont want these officers to have hesitation caused by anxiety or guilt before unloading on an angry mom or dad at a school. This is very similar to the recent scandal of the targets of gun owners that were supplied to the DHS in order to make it easier for them to fire upon everyday people. The targets included an elderly woman, an elderly man, a little boy, and a pregnant woman in a nursery. Once upon a time, police were there to protect people like parents, children, the elderly, and pregnant ladies. But the lines are being drawn and great effort is being undertaken to create a new breed of villains for the authorities to fight and those villains are us.

3	Total Failure Of Foreign Intelligence As Spy Agencies Miss Massive Al Qaeda Prison BreakMac Slavo They know your underwear size. They know where you drove your car today. They know what you put up on Facebook, texted to your wife and emailed to your friends. And theyve done it all in the supposed interest of national security. If, however, you were an Al Qaeda terrorist coordinating a large-scale prison break to free senior members of your mid-east terror organization, you would have been able to operate with impunity. As you read the following report from Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq keep in mind that the National Security Agency operates under authorization from Executive Order 12333. The agency was originally tasked not with acquiring information concerning the domestic activities of United States persons, but with analyzing information and data of foreign intelligence and counterintelligence value. Hundreds of convicts, including senior members of al Qaeda, broke out of Iraqs Abu Ghraib jail as comrades launched a military-style assault to free them, authorities said on Monday. The deadly raid on the high-security jail happened as Sunni Muslim militants are gaining momentum in their insurgency against the Shiite-led government that came to power after the U.S. invasion to oust Saddam Hussein. Suicide bombers drove cars packed with explosives to the gates of the prison on the outskirts of Baghdad on Sunday night and blasted their way into the compound, while gunmen attacked guards with mortars and rocket-propelled grenades. Other militants took up positions near the main road, fighting off security reinforcements sent from Baghdad as several militants wearing suicide vests entered the prison on foot to help free the inmates. Ten policemen and four militants were killed in the ensuing clashes, which continued until Monday morning, when military helicopters arrived, helping to regain control. The number of escaped inmates has reached 500, most of them were convicted senior members of al Qaeda and had received death sentences, Hakim Al-Zamili, a senior member of the security and defense committee in parliament, told Reuters. The security forces arrested some of them, but the rest are still free. One security official told Reuters on condition of anonymity: Its obviously a terrorist attack carried out by al Qaeda to free convicted terrorists with al Qaeda.-Reuters Two Words: EPIC FAIL. While our government is supposedly preventing terrorism by searching grandma at airports, arresting kids for making jokes on the Internet, deploying thousands of dronesover Americas skies, and looking for lone wolves, they have failed at their absolute top priority: stopping actual terrorists from doing what terrorists do. The fact that an unknown number of senior members of Al Qaeda, who we as a nation likely spent hundreds of millions of dollars and countless lives to capture, have been freed from prison in what can only be described as a premeditated coordinated attack is a complete failure of our foreign intelligence directives. The challenge we now face is that senior Al Qaeda leaders who have likely been tortured and spent years in the hellhole of Abu Ghraib are now out in droves and they have one thing on their mind to kill as many American men, women and children as they can before we catch or kill them. Perhaps our spy agencies and the highly trained individuals monitoring domestic data streams would better serve the national security of the American people by turning their efforts back to what they were originally intended to do. Will this be a wake up call for our Chief Executive and his security Czars to focus the attention of our signals intelligence and security community to the real threat facing America? Or is identifying and stopping foreign terrorists no longer the priority?

2	Sheriff Clarke Defies Obama In Incredible Movement To Keep Second Amendment Strong Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke took an incredible stand against Obama for his plans to issue an executive order on gun control. He also attacked Hillary for supporting the action. There is a rival group to the National Rifle Association. Its called the Democratic Party, Clarke said. They are utterly intolerant of anyone elses view when it comes to the Second Amendment, the shooting sports and self-defense. He then went as far as to call them anti-gun bigots. You do not target otherwise law-abiding citizens, and you dont make them have to go jump through hoops. Former NYPD detective Bo Dietl added in his own two cents. When ISIS comes to this country we have 300 million weapons out there and were going to protect ourselves. Im not going to put my head down, get down on my knees and wait for my head to be chopped off. Im going to have my 9 millimeter. Do you agree that Obama is a bigot? 
1	A free condom served as a harsh reminder of the sexless existence Julie Tudor has endured since February 2002, the 31-year-old bookstore manager reported Tuesday. The condom and brochure for which Tudor had little need. 'Uh, thanks,' said Tudor, reluctantly accepting a LifeStyles Xtra Pleasure condom attached to a brochure containing detailed information on proper use of the prophylactic. 'But I really don't, uh, okay, thanks.' At approximately 2 p.m., while cutting across the University of CaliforniaSanta Cruz campus en route to a coffee shop, Tudor encountered a table featuring a hand-painted sign urging passersby to practice safe sex. She was immediately offered a condom by Stephanie Loughlin, a volunteer for the campus organization UCSanta Cruz Safe-Sex Alliance. 'I could've told them to save it for someone who has even a remote chance of actually using it, but I still have some dignity,' said Tudor, who hasn't needed a prophylactic since her Feb. 14, 2002 split with then-boyfriend Doug Ryback. 'God, if they only knew how little they were helping me.' Tudor said she smiled politely when Loughlin, a bubbly 20-year-old, bounded up to her and urged her to 'play it safe.' 'I didn't want to say that in the 11 months since Doug and I broke up, I really haven't been 'playing it' at all,' Tudor said. 'Thanks for reminding me.' Tudor said she still has plenty of unused condoms at home. 'I have a box that hasn't been touched since the breakup,' Tudor said. 'I know they're still there, because I checked for them before going out with that jerk stockbroker Michelle set me up with last month.' Tudor Tudor initially tried to avoid the safe-sex booth, pretending not to hear Safe-Sex Alliance volunteer Ryan Schumann when he shouted, 'Free condom?' Misinterpreting Tudor's efforts to sidestep the booth as discomfort with the subject of sex, Schumann targeted her for additional education. 'Some people don't like talking about sex, which is why outreach programs like ours are so vitally important,' said Schumann, 19. 'I told her not to be embarrassed, and that sexuality is a normal, healthy part of everyone's life.'' 'Everyone's except mine,' Tudor replied when told of Schumann's remarks. 'I decided to spare him that detail, though, and let him blather on about mutual respect and positive sexuality and something about a dance at the student union on the last Friday of every month.' Despite not needing protection from unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases, Tudor was offered a choice of condoms by Trojan, Durex, Trustex, inSpiral, and Crownall placed in a fishbowl along with complimentary packets of Astroglide lubricant and Wet-brand flavored lube pillows. 'When I sort of frowned at the condom in my hand, they pulled me over to pick any that I liked better from their cornucopia of condoms,' Tudor said. 'Lubricated, non-lubricated, for-her-pleasure, for-his, mint-flavored. They even had ones wrapped in foil that looked like candy coins. Which, I hate to admit, caught my eye for a second. Chocolate, I would've had some use for.' Declining the offer of an alternate condom, Tudor grudgingly accepted a brochure containing 'fun and safe' sex practices to try with her purely theoretical partner. She also took a printed sheet listing local health clinics that provide free testing for STDs, a brochure on the correct use of dental dams, and a photocopy of an article about female condomsnone of which remotely interested her. In the two weeks since Tudor's last major sex-related letdownher failure to get laid on New Year's Eve despite a willingness to sleep with anyone even slightly attractivesex had largely been relegated to the back of her mind. On Tuesday, however, Tudor was reminded of her sexless existence every time she opened her purse and saw the free condom. 'Back in college, when I was screwing with reasonable regularity, I'd actually spend time thinking about the subject [of safe sex],' Tudor said. 'I'd worry if carrying a condom in my purse was being too forward. I'd think, is it okay to have sex with friends? What sort of stuff do I want to explore? Are threesomes safe? I had no idea that one day, my safe-sex questions would boil down to, 'Where can I get some?'' Loughlin, who has volunteered for UCSanta Cruz Safe-Sex Alliance since September, said she sees the unwillingness of some people to discuss sex as a problem facing safe-sex activists. 'Some people are, like, really weird about sex, and that totally sucks,' said Loughlin, adjusting a 'Be On The Safe Side!' banner. 'That's why I'm here. The more open everyone is about it, the less people will die.' 'God, I remember back when I was her age,' Tudor said. 'I was dating this guy who lived in Arizona, but I kept cheating on him with this guy on my dorm floor: Kyle? Karl? He was a rock climber, a real outdoorsy typekinda skinny but strong. You know, with these nice knotty muscles. I'm sorry, what was your question?'

3	VICTORY: Emmett, Idaho Bans NDAA Detention, Laws of Warselfnews Post The citizens of Emmett, Idaho disagree. On Tuesday, the Emmett City Council approved the Restoring Constitutional Governance Resolution, thus banning the detention provisions of the 2012 NDAA, and the application of the laws of war, which originally made Emmett a battlefield in the war on terror. The resolution also encourages the state legislature to interpose against these detention provisions, and Idahos Congressional delegation to take steps to repeal them. The 2012 National Defense Authorization Act was overwhelmingly passed by Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama on December 31, 2011. This law declared the United States a battlefield in the war on terror and two provisions, Sections 1021 1022, authorized the indefinite detention, without charge or trial, of any person, including American citizens, accused by the President of undefined support of terrorist activity or commission of a belligerent act and the application of the laws of war to U.S. soil. Emmett joins a growing tidal wave of cities banning the provisions, and the laws of war, as unConstitutional. Albany, New York, Oxford, Massachusetts, and Webster, MA have previously passed the Restoring Constitutional Governance Resolution to do so, as part of the nationwide Take Back Campaign. it is unconstitutional, and therefore unlawful for any person to: a. arrest or capture any person in Emmett, or citizen of Emmett, within the United States, with the intent of detention under the law of war, or b. actually subject a person in Emmett, to disposition under the law of war, or c. subject any person to targeted killing in Emmett, or citizen of Emmett, within the United States Jason Casella, PANDA Idahos Take Back Campaign Coordinator, said: I want to thank the great people of Emmett for taking the time to study and act on the issue. Once you stop and do your own research, you find how egregious this truly is and how this is not about left or right; this is about freedom vs. tyranny. We can restore our republic and our human rights city by city and county by county. City by city, county by county, and state by state, we can take back this country. Were up to four cities now, is yours next? Join the movement and take back your city now: http://pandaunite.org/takeback/ Watch video of the meeting below: 
3	The Global Elites Digital Agenda Played Out as Censorship and Cyber WarfareSusanne Posel, Contributor Kroes claims that with a truly open, universal platform, we can deliver choice and competition; innovation and opportunity; freedom and democratic accountability. She spoke extensively about copyright material and licensing systems and that these controls guarantee that Europeans miss out on great content, they discourage business innovation, and they fail to serve the creative people in whose name they were established. Yet, Viviane Reding, the European Commissions vice-president stated that: People give out their data often without thinking about it. They have no idea that it will be sold to third parties. Redings current project is called the Data Protection Directiveof 1995 which focuses on maintaining a business system friendly to foreign investments. Mining for personal data from Internet users can be very lucrative to foreign investors and corporations. As personal data online becomes commercial property the lines are obviously being blurred; and therefore loopholes can be used to manipulate the system. Hillary Clinton, also an attendee at Bilderberg Group conferences, spoke to the inaugural meeting of the Open Government Partnership in Brasilia where she proclaimed that nations individuality rests in its ability to be an open society. We believe those governments that hide from public view and dismiss ideas of openness and the aspirations of their people for greater freedom will find it increasingly difficult to create a secure society, Clinton continued. She called recent events in Africa remarkable, and only now that they have been infiltrated by the UN land grabs, private corporate interests, Obamas pledge to assist corporations use of agricultural lands on the continent, they have the potential to be a more open society. The Open Government Partnership has 55 members; all of which have published national action plan[s] on how they will make their governments more transparent and strengthen democracy. If ideas just remain theoretical, they are not much use to anyone, she said. But we now have tools that previous advocates of open information could not even dream of. We are releasing enormous quantities of public data, making complex budgets available online, and connecting leaders with citizens, as we have seen in this past year of the Arab awakening. Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google has recently said that he believes the biggest threat to Internet freedom is a combination of governments increasingly trying to control access and communication by their citizens, the entertainment industrys attempts to crack down on piracy, and the rise of restrictive walled gardens such as Facebook and Apple, which tightly control what software can be released on their platforms. Brins concerns are the censorship that countries like China, Saudi Arabia and Iran implement to alter their Internet for their citizens. Theres a lot to be lost, Brin said. Ricken Patel, co-founder of Avaaz, the 14 million member online activist network that has provided communication equipment and training to Syrian activists, echoed Brins warning: Weve seen a massive attack on the freedom of the web. Governments are realizing the power of this medium to organize people and they are trying to clamp down across the world, not just in places like China and North Korea; were seeing bills in the United States, in Italy, all across the world. Iran has announced that it will introduce a sealed national internet in just a few months. They hope to protect themselves from further cyber-attacks from countries like the US and Israel. The US and China have been engaged in a covert battle in which coordinated cyber-attacks are the weapon of choice. The Pentagon and US State Department, along with their Chinese counterparts have played war games while uncovering state-sponsored espionage and massive theft of sensitive information. The war games have been organized through the CSIS and a Beijing think-tank, the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations. Curiously, during the first exercise, both China and the US described what they would do if they were attacked by a sophisticated computer virus, such as Stuxnet, which disabled centrifuges in Irans nuclear program. In the second, they detailed their reaction if the attack was known to have been launched from the other side. The US and the UK have increased pressure on China. Both governments see China as chiefly responsible for the theft of billions of dollars of plans and intellectual property from defense manufacturers, government departments, and private companies at the heart of Americas national infrastructure. A spokesperson for the US State Department stated: The United States is committed to engaging countries to build a global environment in which all states recognize and adhere to norms of acceptable behavior in cyberspace.

1	After two weeks of remarkable success against the world's finest athletes, the Chinese National Olympic Team was carefully disassembled and put back into storage yesterday, placed in a specially designed, high-tech cryogenic freezing pod for preservation until the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. 'You have brought great honor to your nation,' said Chinese Prime Minister Deng Xiaoping during a ceremony before more than 800,000 in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. 'Now we must remove your sculpted limbs from your muscular torsos and return you to your sarcophagi so that you may achieve even greater glories for the People's Republic in the future.' Amid great cheers from the crowd, Deng then pulled a switch, lowering the athletes into the $440 million, titanium-reinforced, liquid radon-cooled absolute zero temperature athlete preservation chamber, where they will be preserved in a perfect state of suspended animation until July 2000. The elite 120-member Chinese team, which boasts many of the world's finest gymnasts, swimmers and runners, has been kept in the state-of-the-art computer-regulated Mao Zedong Memorial People's Revolutionary Sports Pod, located 200 feet below the surface of Beijing, since the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo. Despite the overall success of the Chinese team in Atlanta, not all of its members were returned to the pod. Following each Olympics, only the top performers return, with those failing to earn a gold medal killed, stripped for needed parts and replaced by more promising young athletes. The Chinese Olympic Team will be cooled to a temperature of absolute zero, then lowered into the $440 million Mao Zedong Memorial People's Revolutionary Sports Pod, where it will be stored until the year 2000. 'Only the finest athletes can be preserved,' Chinese Olympic Committee spokesperson Zhou Li Quing said. 'Those who have brought shame to both nation and family by losing must be paraded naked through the streets of every city in China for people to spit on, then coated with honey and staked down over an anthill. ' Zhou added he is considering a proposal to parade defeated athletes through China's more remote rural provinces as well. Among those frozen yesterday was 1996 Olympic men's archery gold medalist Liao Bu. 'I will see you in the year 2000,' Liao said, minutes before being sealed into a pod with his award-winning arms. 'But until then, I wish to bring great honor to China as the coldest Olympic archer in the world.' Xiaolu Chang, a five-time Olympic gold medal-winning middle-distance runner, has been in the pod since the 1968 Mexico City Games. 'Must win medal,' said Xiaolu, 51, who has the perfectly preserved body of a 23-year-old. 'Must win medal.' According to scientists, the Chinese athletic pod represents the finest Olympic carbon-based life-form storage facility in the world. 'The only one that compares is the $430 million Mother Russia Olympic Figure Skaters' Pod in Moscow,' said M.I.T.'s Paul Blair. 'Built for the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympics, it has since been updated with a plutonium-powered coolant turbine, high-speed fast and slow twitch muscle defrosters and separate storage compartments for individual skaters and pairs.' 
1	Giants running back Brandon Jacobs was reportedly furious with coaches following a team meeting Tuesday, loudly expressing his displeasure and demanding more yards per carry. I work really hard at practice and study the playbook, but then they constantly have me getting tackled by the first defensive player I make contact with, said Jacobs, complaining that the coaches rarely reward his labor with a touchdown-scoring run. Theyre giving [Ahmad] Bradshaw more yards per carry than me. They like him better. I dont get it. Seems like I get all the negative rushes or the ones for really short yardage. How is this supposed to make me feel appreciated? Backup quarterback David Carr expressed empathy for Jacobs, claiming the team has repeatedly ignored his requests for better throwing mechanics, a stronger arm, and more accurate passes. 
2	Trump Helps Marine Get Out Of Mexican Jail, And Then Gives Him Money GOP front-runner Donald Trump has been criticized by the media relentlessly. It seems they are taking every opportunity to they can to try and tear him down. Still, he remains a strong candidate for the Republican nomination. A large portion of Trumps success thus far is that he is not afraid to speak his mind. But what is becoming increasingly evident throughout the course of his campaign, is that Trump isnt afraid to take action, either. And that started before he even announced his candidacy. According to Fox News Greta Van Susteren, Trump helped U.S. Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi get out a Mexican prison, after Obama left him there for 214 days. But thats not allhe also gave him money to get back on his feet after the ordeal. Watch the report below and tell us what you think. Is Trump a true leader?

2	BREAKING: Russia Prepares For All Out War Against United States According to recent reports, Russia has been developing a new line of nuclear submarines with the capability to move under Arctic ice. The vessels are being build under Project 955, and will likely be available to the Russian Navy by mid-December. According to the International Business Times, the move is an all out preparation for war. Still the project is continuing to go on uninterrupted, even though the Knyaz Vladimir, the next submarine set to be produced, will be equipped with 20 Bulava missile pits. A representative from Rubin Design Bureau claims that the subs will have a lower level of physical fields and, respectively, improved stealth and more advanced communication and detection systems. Meanwhile, President Obama continues to downsize our military. What do you think of the new equipment? 
3	Mission Creep Toward Full-Scale War on SyriaStephen Lendman On May 21, he met Omans Sultan Qaboos. An air defense system/weapons sale, Syria, and related issues were discussed. On May 22, he met with foreign ministers of 11 so-called Friends of Syria countries. He did so in Amman. Opposition group representatives also attended. Among other issues, they discussed the US/Russian proposed peace conference. A Geneva June 10 date is scheduled. Reports suggest both Syrian officials and opposition representatives will attend. At the same time, mixed messages were sent. On the one hand, senior opposition members said participations conditional on Assad stepping down. He has no intention to do so. Syrians alone must decide wholl lead them. Its their right. On the other hand, one senior opposition member said no decision on Geneva was reached. Both parties are taking advantage of the gray area and have decided it is right to take part he said. From the regimes point of view, this is a good starting point, especially in light of its claims of achievements on the ground. At the same time, the opposition can gain strength and legitimacy and even take part in a future government if the parties reach agreement on a transition period. In other words, conflict resolution depends on Assad stepping down. Expect no more in June than from last years Geneva conference. Peace and stability defeat its interests. Expect nothing different this time. Assad must go remains policy. Americas proxy war rages. Full-scale intervention looms. Kerry will remain in the region through May 27. Other stops include Jerusalem, Ramallah, and Addis Ababa. Hell participate in the African Union Summit. Hell return to Amman for the World Economic Forum on the Middle East and North Africa. On May 21, an unnamed senior State Department official briefed reporters on his trip. It was done by teleconference. The official said: According to Free Syrian army commanders, Hezbollah is engage(d) directly in the fighting in Syria as a foreign force. We understand there are also Iranians involved. I think this is an important thing to note, the direct implication of foreigners fighting on Syrian soil now for the regime. There are real concerns. He accused Syria of previous massacres. Washington-backed death squads bore full responsibility. According to opposition representatives, he claimed liberated Al-Qusayr residents face the same threat. They support Syrias military. They depend of it defeating insurgents. Theyre US-backed terrorists. Syrians are grateful for outside support. Washington bears full responsibility for planning and implementing over two years of proxy war. Its illegitimate. Its lawless. Syrias a nonthreatening, nonbelligerent country. According to international law, attacking it constitutes lawless aggression. Self-defense is a legitimate response. Volunteer participants are freedom fighters. Theyre not belligerents. The State Department official discussed the June conference, saying: (T)he purpose of this meeting.is to discuss how to implement fully a transition governing body established with full executive authority, including over the military and the security apparatus and that will be established by mutual consent. I have not heard yet from the opposition definitively that they will attend. Washington recognizes the so-called opposition coalition (as) the legitimate representative of the Syrian people. In other words, Assad must go. Syrians have no say. International law doesnt matter. What Washington says, goes. Its longstanding US policy. On May 15, Lebanons Al Manar and other sources said the CIA expects Assad to gain 75% of the Syrian peoples votes if he runs for reelection next year. Polls suggest it. Washington spurns the interests of the Syrian people. Its own alone matter. Expect no end of conflict. Escalation appears likely. Washingtons been arming, training and directing opposition fighters covertly. The CIAs directly involved. US and other Western special forces likely are also. On May 21, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 15 3 to send arms and munitions to opposition fighters. Allegedly its to so-called vetted ones. Washington has a longstanding alliance with Al Qaeda. Al Nusra is an Al Qaeda affiliate. Both groups and similar ones constitute a key source of US-backed anti-Assad belligerence. US special forces and perhaps enlisted private military contractors (PMCs) trained them in chemical weapons use. Perhaps they supplied them also. Washingtons direct and proxy wars are dirty ones. Anything goes is policy. Civilians are fair game. Theyre considered legitimate targets. Government loyalists are most vulnerable. US-sponsored death squads target them. Its unclear if congressional legislation will pass. Doing so would make covert support overt. Either way it continues unabated. According to a Tuesday Reuters/Ipsos online poll, 60% of Americans oppose US intervention. Only 12% support it. Online polls arent statistically significant. Theyre suspect. It doesnt matter. Obama pays no attention to public opinion. Overtly he resists arming opposition fighters. Covertly hes been doing it all along. Hypocrisy defines his administration. Hes a war criminal multiple times over. He remains unaccountable for unconscionable crimes. Israels a co-conspirator. Both countries are longstanding imperial partners. Israels been upping the stakes in Syria. Previous articles explained. On May 21, Press TV said Syria destroyed an Israeli military vehicle. It crossed the Golan ceasefire line. It did so lawlessly. It headed toward Bir Ajam village. A Syrian army statement said: Following that, the Israeli enemy fired two rockets from the occupied site of Tal al-Faras toward one of our sites in al-Zubaydiah site; no casualties reported. On May 22, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) explained more. Foreign intervention aims at raising the terrorist groups collapsed moral due to the painful blows they received at the hands of our armed forces. The General Command of the Army and the Armed Forces said that the blatant aggression confirms again the involvement of the Zionist entity in the ongoing events in Syria and the direct coordination with the armed terrorist gangs. The statement stressed that any breach or an attempt to violate the state sovereignty will be responded. It stressed that whoever thinks that he is able to test our strength, alert and readiness to maintain our dignity and sovereignty is mistaken. Syrias Foreign Ministry called on the Security Council to end Israeli violations. It reiterated Syrias right to respond immediately to any breach of its sovereignty. Under international law, doing so is legitimate self-defense. On May 22, Israel National News headlined (IDF chief) Gantz Warns Assad: Dont Escalate the Situation, saying: If he causes the situation in the Golan Heights to deteriorate, he will pay the price. We will not allow the Golan Heights to become a comfort space for Assad, he stressed. If he causes a deterioration he will have to bear the consequences. Gantz denied clear evidence of Israels involvement. Its Washingtons imperial partner against Syria. He claimed no Israeli military vehicle crossed the ceasefire line. Israels been caught lying red-handed numerous times. Official statements have no credibility. On May 22, Lebanons Daily Star headlined Heavy shelling batters north Lebanons Tripoli. Fighting between Assad supporters and Salafist opponents erupted last weekend. On Tuesday into Wednesday pre-dawn, dozens of mortar bombs and rocket-propelled grenades struck Tripoli. Since hostilities erupted Sunday, 10 deaths were reported. Over 70 others were wounded. Lebanons army was targeted. Residents want it involved for protection. Its unclear if Washington and/or Israel bear responsibility. Perhaps they spread Syrias conflict cross-border. Clearly its escalating. It remains to be seen whats next. US/Israeli/Turkish provocations advance things closer to full-scale intervention. Kerrys regional visit perhaps involves finalizing details.

3	VICTORY: Citizens Stand up to Agenda 21 in AlaskaBy Dan Johnson So when the Borough of Kodiak, AK (Pop. 13,600) chose to attempt to entirely revamp the zoning code and place greater restrictions on property owners, including a $1,000 fine per violation, they expected there to be little opposition, and little knowledge of the change. Instead, the Solutions Institute assisted local resident Jamie Fagan, and he along with a team of people rallied over 300 residents to attend the meeting. Even though many residents could not attend due to flooded roads and driving rain, there were over 69 speeches, nearly all in opposition to the new code, totaling over 4 hours of testimony against it. The zoning code in question, drafted by Bob Pederson, enforces many of the suggestions of the United Nations 1992 Agenda 21 treaty, including making it easier for local officials to seize private property. Jamie was excited to have some assistance defending his home: Though the code has not been defeated yet, Jamie has no doubt that with the amount of people who came out to try and stop it, it is only a matter of time before the new code is scrapped. While SI does not take a position on the issue, we were pleased to help get more citizens involved in their local governance, and happy to help ensure that the new zoning regulations faced the public debate and transparency that are the hallmarks of a free society. The Solutions Institute is a collection of activists and professionals from across the political spectrum, and we are always looking for new projects.

2	Lee Greenwood Goes OFF On Cowards Who Wont Perform For Trump, Delivers Bombshell Warning While many liberal entertainers have refused to perform at Donald Trumps inauguration, country music legend Lee Greenwood is gearing up to perform God Bless the USA, a timely patriotic anthem he wrote. Greenwood is scheduled to perform alongside Toby Keith, 3 Doors Down, and Jackie Evancho. As a true patriot and artist, he had a brutal message for the musicians and singers who opted out of the important ceremony. I think thats a mistake, he commented. And, I think, sadly, that she [Jennifer Holliday] would buckle under that kind of minority approach. Because it probably is. The nation spoke resoundingly to elect this president, Greenwood added. For her to buckle under, to social media, again, shes thinking thats going to make an impact on her career. And it certainly wont. Greenwood then went on to share just how blessed he feels to be performing for the 45th President. This is basically an invitation to go to Washington D.C. and be a part of this celebration. Im sorry she made that choice, he commented. It doesnt influence what I do or, I think, many of the other performers who will be there.I consider it a great honor and prestige of being able to sing the song I wrote in 1983 at the Lincoln Memorial. It will be a wonderful moment for my career but also for the citizens who will be watching it on television worldwide. We have a new president-elect, and were going to support him. What do you think? Do you applaud this country music star for taking a stand and refusing to crave to the pressure from liberal Hollywood?

2	Obama And Muslims FURIOUS After Israel Strikes Oil According to a recent statement from Israeli oil company, Afek Oil Gas, Israel may have just discovered oil. Historically, the amount of oil found in Israel has not been found in the quantities that would allow Israel to obtain energy independence. As a result, theyve been forced to depend on other nations to supply their resources, leaving them at the mercy of Europe. This has also granted Muslims leverage over Israel. That is all about to change if a statement made by Zion Oil Gas is true. The CEO of the oil exploration company made the following statement: Recent Israeli news articles are touting a significant Afek Oil Gas / Genie Energy oil find in Israels Golan Heights. We at Zion Oil Gas are cautiously optimistic that the oil discovery would ultimately prove successful. It is indeed good news that there appears to be oil saturation in an equivalent rock layer to the source rock we are searching for in our Megiddo-Jezreel License that is relatively nearby geographically. The true test for Afek is to see if the oil underground is producible above ground in commercial quantities. This is true justice for Israel, and some even believe that it is a biblical prophecy coming to fruition. 
2	Major Democrat Risks His Entire Career For Unloading On Obama In This Unbelievable Way According to recent reports, a famous lawyer and liberal icon has just gone after President Obama for refusing to stand by Israel. Alan Dershowitz is very clear in his position: Obama should have used veto power in the most recent United Nations resolution. What he did was so nasty. He pulled a bait-and-switch, Dershowitz told Fox News. He said to the American public: This is all about the settlements deep in the West Bank. And yet he allowed his representative to the U.N. abstain, which is really for, a resolution that says Jews cant pray at the Western Wall, Jewish students cant go to Hebrew University, Jewish and Arab patients cant go to Hadassah hospital, Jews cant live in the Jewish Quarter, where theyve lived for thousands of years, and hes going to say, Whoops, I didnt mean that. Well, read the resolution! Youre a lawyer! Dershowitz in not the only one outraged about Obamas decision on Friday to allow his ambassador to abstain from voting on a resolution that clearly demands Israel immediately cease all settlement activities in the Palestinian terrorist, which includes East Jerusalem. The resolution also calls for borders to be restricted back to what they were in 1967, when the Israelis were continuously attacked by their Arab Muslim. Conservatives are concerned this resolution strips our allies of bargaining power in future negotiations. Dershowitz claims he met with Obama about the issue and was assured by Obama we would have our allys back. I didnt realize what he meant is that he would have their back to stab them, Dershowitz commented, arguing that Obama has officially become one of the worst foreign policy presidents ever. 
1	Mere weeks after members of their university's lacrosse team were accused of sexually assaulting exotic dancers, ranking Duke polo and equestrian team members are downplaying rumors that they repeatedly engaged in acts of exotic sexual misconduct during the infamously out-of-control parties held at the team's off-campus barn. 'We've done nothing wrong, veterinarians will find no evidenceDNA or otherwiseshowing that horses have been assaulted, and of course no charges have been filed,' said senior Nat Hennerty, captain of Duke's equestrian squad and a two-time Most Valuable Rider, in a prepared statement to the press Tuesday. 'I urge the media, the alumni, and the people of the community to remember that we at Duke are an elite university and disregard any obvious hearsay.' 'Especially anything regarding suspicious bruises or abrasions suffered by the men of the team, allegations that certain horses have not been cantering normally as of late, or photos supposedly showing Duke student-athletes wearing nothing but English riding boots and engaged in sexual congress with tranquilized horses while whipping them with riding crops,' Hennerty added. While no formal accusations have been made, students claim the outrageous behavior of Duke's elite equestrian squad has become campus legend. 'I've never been to one of their parties, but everyone at Duke has heard the rumors,' said a sophomore who spoke on condition of anonymity, saying she wished to protect herself from possible retaliation by the 'privileged elites' who make up Duke's top-tier riding clubs. 'Everyone's drinking, the lights in the stable go down, someone gets some saddle soap and a curry-comb . pretty soon everyone's bareback, they're playing 'strip dressage,' strange lathered-up fillies are prancing around It's only a matter of time before someone becomes Catherine the Great.' Although no Duke equestrian sports team has ever come under official scrutiny, an informal examination of team medical records shows that Duke riders are four times more likely to suffer unusual injuries, such as broken bones from startled horses stepping back onto riders' feet, deep horse bites in or around the groin area, or massive internal trauma along with explosive perforation of the colon. Duke teams also lead the nation, and organized horsemanship in general, in the sudden destruction of large livestock for unrecorded or sketchily documented reasons. Despite the rumors and mounting evidence of mount abuse, few in the university believe that the team will be subjected to the possible disgrace of a joint university/SPCA investigation. 'These guys were brought up to believe that they can have any horse or woman they want, and that's unconscionablebut a formal investigation would tear this campus apart,' history professor Woodrow Peterson said. 'After all, the Duke University community barely tolerated the systematic sexual abuse of two black women at the hands of its students. If word got out that valuable horses had been treated that way, this place would explode.' 
2	9 Muslims Ripped From Airplane After Uttering THESE Sickening Words According to recent reports, nine Muslim passengers were kicked off an AirTran flight heading to Orlando from Regan National Airport, after two passengers reported a suspicious remark. The party, who were compromised of eight U.S. born citizen including three children, were headed to a religious retreat in Florida. The FBI later characterized the incident as a misunderstanding, and the group was cleared for travel. The damage had already been done, however, and AirTran refused to book them on another flight. My brother and his wife were discussing some aspect of airport security, Kashif Irfan, one of the passengers explains. The only thing my brother said was, Wow, the jets are right next to my window. I think they were remarking about safety. Irfan claims that he and the other members of his group were clearly profiled because of their appearance, claiming that six members of their group dress in traditionally Muslim garb. Still, Tad Hutcheson of AirTran maintains that the incident was simply a misunderstanding, and the airline acted according to policy. At the end of the day, people got on and made comments they shouldnt have made on the airplane, and other people heard them, Hutchenson claims. Other people heard them, misconstrued them. It just so happened these people were of Muslim faith and appearance. It escalated, it got out of hand and everyone took precautions. After the decision was made to remove the group from the flight, all 104 passengers were ordered off of the plane to be re-screened. Their luggage was re-screened as well. For us, it just highlights that security is everybodys responsibility, Ellen Howe, spokeswoman for the TSA told reporters. Someone heard something that was inappropriate, and then the airline decided to act on it. We certainly support the pilots call to do that. What do you think of the incident? Was the pilot justified in taking the actions he did?

2	Journalist Visits The Mosque Of San Bernardino Shooter Following the San Bernardino shootings, the Obama administration has come to the defense of Muslims throughout the country. But they are ignoring the facts: Christians and Jews throughout the world are being attacked by radical Islamists. And its hard to know where to draw the line. According to reports, shooter Syed Rizwan Farook was a devout Muslim who made a point of showing up to his Southern California mosque to pray every day. In the wake of the shooting, the Dar Al Uloom Al Islamiyah of America mosque decided to hold a press conference. Of course, they refused to answer many of the questions that were asked of them. For instance, they refused to tell journalists whether or not the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had made inquiries about members of their congregation. If we have no comment, you cannot force us to have a comment, one speaker responded. Watch the videos of the conference below and tell us what you think. 
3	They Are Systematically Destroying Our Independence And Making Us All Serfs Of The StateMichael Snyder Unfortunately, as you will see below, the percentage of Americans that are self-employed is at an all-time record low and the percentage of Americans with a full-time job has declined to a level not seen in about 30 years. As a result, more Americans than ever find themselves forced to turn to the government for assistance. When you add it all up, about half of all Americans get money from the government each month these days. And yes, there will always be poor people that cannot take care of themselves who need help, but when you have more than half of the population dependent on the government that is a major problem. You see, the truth is that our independence is systematically being taken away from us and we are steadily being made serfs of the state. And once you become a serf of the state, it is very hard to resist anything the government is doing in a meaningful way. After all, the money that you are getting from the government is enabling you to survive. In essence, your allegiance has been at least partially purchased and you may not even realize it. Of course this is not how the United States was supposed to operate. We were never intended to be a collectivist nation. Rather, we were intended to be a country where liberty and freedom thrived and where most people would be able to independently take care of themselves. Unfortunately, it is becoming increasingly difficult to be economically independent in America today. One reason for this is that the environment for small businesses in this country is the most toxic that it has ever been before. The federal government, our state governments and even our local governments are constantly coming up with new ways to oppress small business. Yes, you read that correctly. Despite all of the trouble that the IRS is currently in, they are still choosing to specifically go after small businesses with both barrels. As a recent Forbes article explained, the IRS plans to send threatening letters to 20,000 small businesses all over the country The tax agency is doing some targeting of its own, fingering at least 20,000 small businesses. And that number will grow. The scrutiny on this group and in this way is a little frightening. Small business people across America are receiving IRS notices. More will be coming.The IRS gathers data from many third partiesincluding credit card companiesto see if you picked up every nickel of income. This is absolutely disgusting, but it is just another example of how small business is being eradicated in the United States. As I mentioned in a previous article, the percentage of Americans that are self-employed has dropped to a record low Sadly, that is becoming increasingly difficult to do as well. The chart below was created byChartist Friend from Pittsburgh, and it shows that the percentage of working age Americans with a full-time job dropped sharply to 47 percent during the last recession and it has stayed about that level ever since. The yellow line is the line in the chart which demonstrates this The quality of jobs in this country has been steadily falling for quite some time, and we are rapidly transitioning to an economy where part-time employment will be much more prominent. But you cant support a family or be economically independent on a part-time income. In fact, most of those that try to make it on a part-time income find that they must turn to the government for help. And right now, a higher percentage of Americans are economically dependent on the government than ever before. The following is from a recent article by Charles Hugh-Smith Why? Because half of us are getting a direct check, benefit or payment from the state. Over 61 million people get a check from Social Security, over 50 million draw Medicare benefits, another 50 million get Medicaid benefits, 47 million receive SNAP food stamp benefits, 22 million people work directly for the state on all levels, millions more work for government contractors that are effectively proxies of the state, millions more receive Federally funded extended unemployment, retirement checks, Section 8 housing benefits, and so on. Orwell underestimated the power of complicity. Once a citizen receives a direct payment from the state, the state has purchased their complicity, for no matter how much that citizen may complain privately about the state, he or she will never risk the payment/benefit by resisting the state in a politically meaningful way. Once you get a check from the state, you begin loving your servitude. The collusion of the state and its central bank is truly a thing of authoritarian beauty: the central bank (the Federal Reserve) creates money out of thin air and buys government bonds with the new money. The state can thus borrow unlimited sums at low rates of interest, and continue to send tens of millions of individual payments out to buy the passivity and complicity of its citizens. So what is the solution? Of course the solution would be for our economy to produce more small businesses and more full-time jobs so that more people could achieve economic independence. Sadly, right now our system is steadily killing full-time jobs and small businesses, and there does not appear to be any hope for a major turnaround any time soon. At this point, the number of Americans that are financially dependent on the government is absolutely staggering, and it gets worse with each passing year. Just consider the following statistics which come from one of my previous articles entitled 21 Facts About Rising Government Dependence In America That Will Blow Your Mind 1. Back in 1960, the ratio of social welfare benefits to salaries and wages was approximately 10 percent. In the year 2000, the ratio of social welfare benefits to salaries and wages was approximately21 percent. Today, the ratio of social welfare benefits to salaries and wages is approximately 35 percent. 2. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 49 percent of all Americans live in a home that gets direct monetary benefits from the federal government. Back in 1983, less than a third of all Americans lived in a home that received direct monetary benefits from the federal government. 3. Overall, more than 70 percent of all federal spending goes to dependence-creating programs. 4. According to the Survey of Income and Program Participation conducted by the U.S. Census, well over 100 million Americans are enrolled in at least one welfare program run by the federal government. Sadly, that figure does not even include Social Security or Medicare. 5. Today, the federal government runs about 80 different means-tested welfare programs, and almost all of those programs have experienced substantial growth in recent years. 6. The number of Americans on Social Security disability now exceeds the entire population of the state of Virginia. 7. If the number of Americans on Social Security disability were gathered into a separate state, it would be the 8th largest state in the country. 8. In 1968, there were 51 full-time workers for every American on disability. Today, there are just 13 full-time workers for every American on disability. 9. Right now, there are approximately 56 million Americans collecting Social Security benefits. By 2035, that number is projected to soar to an astounding 91 million. 10. Overall, the Social Security system is facing a 134 trillion dollar shortfall over the next 75 years. 11. The number of Americans on food stamps has grown from 17 million in the year 2000 to more than 47 million today. 12. Back in the 1970s, about one out of every 50 Americans was on food stamps. Today, about one out of every 6.5 Americans is on food stamps. 13. Today, the number of Americans on food stamps exceeds the entire population of the nation of Spain. 14. According to one calculation, the number of Americans on food stamps now exceeds the combined populations of Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming. 15. According to a report from the Center for Immigration Studies, 43 percent of all immigrants that have been in the United States for at least 20 years are still on welfare. 16. Back in 1965, only one out of every 50 Americans was on Medicaid. Today, one out of every 6 Americans is on Medicaid, and things are about to get a whole lot worse. It is being projected that Obamacare will add 16 million more Americans to the Medicaid rolls. 17. As I wrote about recently, 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. 18. At this point, Medicare is facing unfunded liabilities of more than 38 trillion dollars over the next 75 years. That comes to approximately $328,404 for every single household in the United States. 19. Back in 1990, the federal government accounted for just 32 percent of all health care spending in America. It is being projected that the federal government will account for more than 50 percent of all health care spending in the United States very soon. 20. The amount of money that the federal government gives directly to the American people has increased by 32 percent since Barack Obama entered the White House. 21. When you total it all up, American households are now receiving more money directly from the federal government than they are paying to the government in taxes. Once again, there is certainly nothing wrong with helping the poor, and there will always be people that need a helping hand. But what we have in America today is far beyond that. What we have in America today is a situation where economic independence is being systematically eradicated and the government is increasingly being expected to provide our daily bread and to take care of all of us from the cradle to the grave. And once you are dependent on the system, at least part of you is going to become resistant to anyone or anything that threatens to bring meaningful change to the system because your survival depends on the system.

Trump felt that he was being targeted, and Twitter quickly broke out with anti-Kelly and anti-Fox tweets. The debate also sparked a petition that Kelly not be allowed to participate in any upcoming debates. Yet, Fox News made the controversial decision to move forward with Kelly as a host during the debates in Iowa. That decision is getting mixed reviews, and Trump was quick to stand firm in his call for Kelly to be banned from future events. Based on @MegynKellys conflict of interest and bias she should not be allowed to be a moderator of the next debate, Trump tweeted on January 23. Now, it appears that Kelly is also scheduled to serve as a moderator for the February debate. Following Trumps lead, more than 58,000 people have signed a new petition calling for Kelly to be fired. What do you think? Do you agree that Kelly is biased and should be removed from any future debates? 
3	Is Bank of America Forbidding Gun and Ammo Purchases?Mikael Thalen, Contributor This is the beginning of a shocking conversation recorded to YouTube. Bank of America recently revealed their disdain for guns when they began refusing to do business with gun manufacturers and businesses that support the 2nd amendment. Just last December, Joe Sirochman, president of American Spirit Arms,made a Facebook post claiming Bank of America illegally withheld his companys funds because of the nature of its business. But is this video true? If so the bank appears to have gone even further and reportedly stopped all its customers from purchasing any firearms or ammo with their own debit cards. Despite the call sounding authentic, which it could be,another video has surfaced reportedly showing another phone call where a Bank of America employee claims the video isnt true. At this time the viral video appears to be either mistaken, or outright false. Whether the employee misunderstood the question or the call was fake, the allegation at this time appears to be incorrect. Some have speculated that the callers PERSONAL account was suspended, not all debit card users. Regardless of the authenticity of the video, the damage could already be done as thousands of viewers of the video are calling in to cancel their accounts with the bank.

The photos show Wilde breastfeeding her son Otis, and while some claim the photo is a step in the right direction, other are outraged. Her son is three months old. Wilde first shared the photo on her Twitter page saying: Otis ordered milkshakes. Luckily I had some on me. Then he peed on my dress. Good kid. #boobfood #whennaturecalls. The photo has been receiving immense criticism, but Wilde is standing by it, claiming, Breastfeeding is the most natural thing. What do you think of the photo? 
3	HPV Vaccine Damaged Girls in Colombia Stir International Quest for JusticeCatherine J. Frompovich Protracted vaccine-induced health problems have magnified (see the VAERS reports) to the point where, currently, there is a tremendous backlash against vaccines, which probably is long overdue, and needs to be supported by medical professionals, who ought to know better. Undoubtedly, one would think that MDs were pimping for Big Pharma, if one didnt know better. In the October 6, 2014 issue of Time, Jeffrey Kluger wrote the article Whos Afraid Of A Little Vaccine?, which seems to make sense, except when a reader steps back, evaluates, and parses the obvious set-in-stone debate that Kluger proffers. Obviously, there is much to challenge about Klugers pontifications, especially when one is either a consumer health researcher with no financial interests in vaccines, as I have been; or is not willing to accept the force-fed dogma that vaccines cannot harm, which is total medical mythology and poppycock; or is not a paid astroturfer. To scientifically refute vaccine apologists fairy tales, please check out The Vaccine Research Library where you can read thousands upon thousands of valid published medical research, papers, abstracts, articles, etc. that expose the real, documented harm vaccines cause. Furthermore, I document and explain many toxic ingredients from published peer review articles in vaccines in my 2013 book, Vaccination Voodoo, What YOU Dont Know About Vaccines. Every pharmaceutical ever manufactured by Big Pharma had/has contraindications, adverse reactions, or warnings and precautions as published in every pharmaceutical products package insert (PI). One such example is the PI for Merck Companys HPV vaccine Gardasil. Furthermore, every parent or legal guardian should be required by law to read/study every vaccine PI before each vaccination can be administered, as part of the educational campaign to vaccinate their children. Reading the Gardasil PI, one easily can see that other seizure-like activity, has been reported following vaccination with GARDASIL. Since seizure-like activity can encompass a litany of central nervous system (CNS) issues or problems, why do the CDC, FDA and Merck not recognize or admit that the CNS problems girls have been experiencing after Gardasil shots a series of 3 injections several months apart can be related, or even cause them? As an aside, some recent research may be of help to Gardasil damage/repair researchers. Since most CNS damage usually involves myelin sheath damage, new research is showing promise that the medicinal mushroom Hericium erinaceus, aka the Lions Mane or Monkeys Head, may improve transmission of nerve messages and myelin sheath growth. [See 15, 16] In the South American country of Colombia over 700 girls have been adversely affected, which I will discuss later. But the serious concern is how come HPV vaccines have been allowed to stay on the market, damage, and kill vaccinees when no one in the CDC, FDA, U.S. Congress, who has oversight, and the supposed free press have not been able to do something to expose these life-threatening and life-altering HPV vaccines for recall. For the official record, the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) reports that twelve (12) deaths were attributed to HPV vaccines as filed or reported with them. [1] Whereas, according to the SGS website regarding automotive industry recalls, In a recall, products of a production serial or batch with harmful manufacturing defects are retrieved from the market. Such a recall can be ordered by official testing authorities or upon a firms own request. [2] [CJF emphasis added] Quite frankly, nothing is more valid proof of apparent serious harmful manufacturing ingredients, e.g., toxic chemicals and neurotoxins, regarding Gardasil, in this writers opinion, than the CDCs VAERS reports statistics for HPV vaccines, as stated on SaneVaxs website [3]: Answer: Four fatalities and more than 100 injuries have been linked to the Takata air bags Now, heres where we realize the obvious ill-found logic of Big Pharmas and vaccine apologists religious, faith-like belief about vaccines that they can do no harm and are not responsible nor contribute to health problems, which the medical professions assert are coincidental, especially regarding the HPV vaccines. When in fact, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (the Vaccine Court) has paid out $39,176,070.00 in claims in Fiscal Year to Date (Dec. 2014) alone, per Page 3 of that report. However, or perhaps, heres where the real deal may be found: The financial spread sheet on vaccine revenues and payouts, i.e., Cumulative Results of Operations total $3,515,428,504.10. Thats over Three-and-a-half BILLION U.S. Dollars. Thats not chicken feed! Where has that money gone? How much went to injured vaccinees? How much of the taxes collected on each and every vaccine sold, which the feds collect, does the U.S. government utilize or manage, and how? Should we question whether it is a Ponzi-like scheme that Uncle Sam operates supposedly on behalf of injured vaccinees, but winds up being operated, in most cases, against damaged vaccinees due to claims being dismissed by Vaccine Court masters? Compare the number of awards compensated (3897) with the number of payments (4912) to attorneys of dismissed cases. Where is the U.S. Congress on this, and why are they mute? Probably, they are luxuriating in the back pockets of Big Pharmas Capitol Hill lobbyists. Dont believe that? Well, read what The Center for Public Integrity says: Its actually the pharmaceutical industry that spends the most each year to influence our lawmakers, forking over a total of $2.6 billion on lobbying activities from 1998 through 2012, according to OpenSecrets.org. [4] Emphasis added. In 14 to 15 years, Big Pharma hush money amounted to $2.6 BILLION! That, alone, ought to tell anyone with an ounce of gray matter inside their cranium that money speaks louder than expository, critical, valid science. Unfortunately, lobbyists money also tends to make religious converts in Congress regarding vaccine pseudoscience faith dogmas, and allows lobbyists to write vested-interest-laws for Congresspersons to introduce. Thats undoubtedly why the U.S. Congress kowtowed to Big Pharma in 1986 and ever since, I contend. Big Pharma apparently used terrorist tactics, in a sense, as Pharma said if it didnt procure a Get out of jail free card regarding ethical/legal/financial liability-free damage status for their vaccines, then they would stop making vaccines. Id call that shot gun legislation, i.e., Put coercive monetary guns to anyones head and, of course, they will cave. Seemingly, Congress was a little too eager to cave, I contend, and its been hell on earth for thousands, if not millions, of infants, toddlers, teens, and adults ever since 1986 when the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act was passed. Subsequently, autism went from 1 in 10,000 in the late 1970s to currently 1 in 68. We now have over 90% vaccinated children in the USA [17]; 95% is targeted for supposed acquired herd immunity status. Alzheimers disease in the elderly was nowhere on the medical radar until after the medical cartel mandated senior citizens get annual flu shots and pneumococcal vaccines, both of which contain neurotoxins and toxic chemicals. Currently, there are 5.1 million Alzheimers patients [5]. Another thing that we didnt have, until after the senior citizen vaccine campaigns, was lockdown Alzheimer residences. Is there any correlation and causation going on? Possibly, and thats what needs to be investigated by independent, non-Pharma-affiliated researchers and scientists who will produce unbiased reports not financed nor published by Big Pharma in their peer review journals that they own, influence, and publish. Later on you will learn how Colombia is reacting to Gardasil-vaccine-damaged girls. But, heres more about the monetary aspects of vaccines in the USA. Now, lets juxtapose the above figures against the figures taken from Totals for FY (Fiscal Year) 1989 thru 2015 HRSA National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program Statistics Report http://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/statisticsreport.pdf Page 4 Now on to Colombias Gardasil Nightmare According to a January 6, 2015 report on Elheraldo.co, parents of injured girls in Carmen de Bolivar were outraged when the Colombian National Institute of Health (INS) leaked the final report on their scientific investigation into the epidemic of new medical conditions occurring after the administration of the second dose of Gardasil. [6] SaneVax published HPV vaccine controversy in Colombia continues [6] wherein more of the details regarding the 700 injured Gardasil HPV vaccinees appear, which readers are encouraged to read in full to appreciate whats been going on. The comments this writer wishes to make regarding the Colombia HPV vaccine problems include: The Colombian Inspector Generals response is totally different from what happens in the USA where harmed vaccinees are hung out to dry and left to fend for themselves with parents being saddled with all sorts of problems and medical bills for seriously injured, previously healthy Gardasil girls. He also requested further monitoring and timely comprehensive treatment to girls who were apparently affected by the HPV vaccine. [6] Emphasis added. His other recommendations can be read in the SaneVax article. But, the real clincher is that the Colombian judicial system is making certain that all those injured by this recent Gardasil health problem affecting so many young girls, who are disabled, are provided all the required treatments regardless of whether or not the costs incurred are covered in the patients current health insurance program or the Public Health Plan (POS). [6] Emphasis added. Can you imagine that ever happening in the USA? Incidentally, the attorney representing many Gardasil-injured girls, Monica Leon Del Rio is no stranger to the HPV vaccine controversy. She is the mother of a young woman who experienced paralysis and various medical dysfunctions after the administration of HPV vaccine in January 2013. She is currently representing at least 50 other girls from El Carmen de Bolivar who are exhibiting new medical conditions after using HPV vaccines. Her mission is to ensure survivors of HPV vaccinations receive proper medical diagnosis and treatment. [6] Emphasis added. Ironically and utterly distressing, the Colombia HPV vaccine disaster is not unique. Ongoing, there are equally serious health problems and concerns about HPV vaccine damage in numerous countries, e.g., Australia, Canada, Ireland [10], Spain [9], United Kingdom, France [7], Japan [8], and of course, in the USA where SaneVax is devoted to tracking the health-damaging course of events in vaccinees. This truly makes no logical scientific or medical ethics sense at all. Since high ranking honchos at USA federal and state health agencies apparently have been to college/university and earned degreesusually of higher learning, one has to wonder what happens along the way that seemingly impedes administrators, medical doctors, and researchers from understanding that the prime reason for science and research is to find/research, investigate, and give expression to uncovering and exposing ideas, facts, and information that contradict not only the logic but the proprietary-science of vested interests, especially Big Pharma. Proprietary- science ought to be outlawed! In this writers opinion, its nothing short of vested interest piracy. However, all the chemical and pharmaceutical companies get away with it hook, line, and sinker! Their science is what federal and state agencies accept as valid when, in reality, most of it is fudged as safe in order to sell products. Heres a perfect example: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702303277704579346430438409534 . Furthermore, why is it required protocol to propagate the obviously apparent vested-interest-controlled pseudoscience vaccine dogmas as if they are articles of faithand especially under penalty of lawor suffer professional excommunication from the church of medical peer status? Heres a rather interesting age-old professional faith and beliefs corollary: Socrates. More specifically, Socrates accusers cited two impious acts: failing to acknowledge the gods that the city acknowledges and introducing new deities. [14] For those not familiar with Socrates fate, he was required by the law at that time to drink the poisonous hemlock, which killed him. Havent medicine and science learned anything from Copernicus [11], Galileo [12], and Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis [13]? Or, are they afraid that exposed and documented science will destroy their apparently greedy fiefdoms, pharmaceutical empires, and house of cards? In the meantime, globally, girlsthe future mothers of tomorroware being sidelined from life and living by the horrendous vaccine damage caused by HPV vaccines. That has to stop. Go, Colombia, get justice! Post Script: After submitting this article, I received the following devastating information from Child Health Safety regarding vaccines causing sudden infant deaths. Since CHS in the UK is breaking this story, Id like for readers to read it on their website HERE. This information was required to be published by a Court Order in Italy. The following information is from the PubMed publication of January 13, 2015 The GlaxoSmithKline Biological Clinical Safety and Pharmacovigilances confidential report to the Regulatory Authority on Infanrix hexa (combined Diptheria Tetanus and Acelluar Pertusis, Hepatitis B, inactivated Poliomyelitis and Haemophilus influenza type B vaccine for the period 23 October 2009 to 22 October 2011 (the 15th and 16th Periodic Safety Update Report (PSUR)) has been made available to the public by the Italian Court of Justice Nicola Di Leo and is now available on the internet (http://autismoevaccini.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/vaccin-dc3a9cc3a8s.pdf).

2	Homeless Marine Veteran Given Full Military Funeral According to recent reports, a homeless veteran named Jerry Jerome Jackson recently froze to death in a park in St. Paul last month. When a local newspaper published articles about his death, dozens of community members stepped up to honor him and his service. A local funeral home provided services for free, and a local church stepped up to help supply a memorial for him. Even the United States Marine Corps stepped up, giving Jackson a military funeral with full honors. The ceremony was complete with a 21-gun salute from the Honor Guard. This is overwhelming to me, claimed Jerrys brother, Don. Its overwhelming. Truth be told, his death was tragic, Pastor Brian Scoles of a nearby church concluded. We dont have to pretend otherwise. Dying homeless in a park during a bitterly cold winter is sad and a tragic way to die. Don was the only family member to make it to the funeral. He claims that his brother suffered from schizophrenia and several other health issues, which eventually put him on the street. What do you think of the bittersweet story? Are you happy Jackson got the funeral he deserved? 
2	BREAKING: The Truth Behind Operation Jade Helm Mystery Blows Wide Open... Heres Whats Going On The past few weeks have been filled with debate surrounding Operation Jade Helm, a military training exercise that is scheduled to take place this summer in Texas and several other states throughout the United States. Military personnel are going to be operating covertly among the public, and many fear that this is the first step toward a plan for martial law. The exercise has also been connected to the Walmart closings, and while the media paints anyone concerned as conspiracy theorists, suspicious activity continues to take place. Now, Infowars is claiming that they have some inside information into the exercises. Investigators began by looking at the Jade Helm motto: Mastering the Human Domain. The site explained that this reveals that Jade Helm is an exercise of the new field in geo-spatial intelligence using human domain analytics to map the politics and thoughts of any nation, state, city, right down to the individual. The Human Domain, or Human Dimension, which is vital and integral part of ABI [Activity Based Intelligence], is defined as the presence, activities (including transactionsboth physical and virtual), culture, social structure/organization, networks and relationships, motivation, intent, vulnerabilities, and capabilities of humans (single or groups) across all domains of the operational environment (Space, Air, Maritime, Ground, and Cyber, Trajectory.com reported, after reading a report released by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defenses in 2010. Some fear that the government is using these techniques to create a more controlled society. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is Texas right to be concerned about Jade Helm? 
3	Someday, Your Car Might Kill You to Save OthersBy Lily Dane We arent talking murderous, Stephen King novel-style cars like Christine. We are talking self-driving cars, and concerns that they could be programmed to kill you if necessary. The cars can assess dangerous situations and react accordingly including sacrificing your life to save others. Self-driving cars (also known as driverless or robotic cars) are expected to be available to the public in just a few years. Google is already lobbying to make the cars legal to drive on public roads. So far, Nevada, California, Florida, Michigan, and Washington, D.C. have passed legislation allowing testing of the cars and other use on public roads. About two weeks ago, Google released the details of accidents that involved the companys self-driving cars. Since 2009 when Googles self-driving project began the cars have been involved in a dozen wrecks: In the six years of our project, weve been involved in 12 minor accidents during more than 1.8 million miles of autonomous and manual driving combined. Not once was the self-driving car the cause of the accident, Google said. Theres no way to really know how safe the cars are until they are more widely used, but theres another issue to consider: how will they handle impending accidents? Googles cars can already manage common driving hazards, but how will the vehicles handle no-win situations where it must choose between swerving into oncoming traffic or steering directly into a barrier, wall, or building? The computers will be fast enough to make split-second decisions, butshould they? Matt Windsor of UAB Newspresented the following dilemma: They would have time to scan the cars ahead and identify the one most likely to survive a collision, for example, or the one with the most other humans inside. But should they be programmed to make the decision that is best for their owners? Or the choice that does the least harm even if that means choosing to slam into a retaining wall to avoid hitting an oncoming school bus? Who will make that call, and how will they decide? Windsor discussed the issue with bioethicistAmeen Barghi, a recent University of Alabama graduate, who said there are two philosophical approaches to this type of question: Ultimately, this problem devolves into a choice between utilitarianism and deontology. Utilitarianism tells us that we should always do what will produce the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people, he explained. In other words, if it comes down to a choice between sending you into a concrete wall or swerving into the path of an oncoming bus, your car should be programmed to do the former. Deontology, on the other hand, argues that some values are simply categorically always true, Barghi continued. For example, murder is always wrong, and we should never do it. Going back to the trolley problem, even if shifting the trolley will save five lives, we shouldnt do it because we would be actively killing one, Barghi said. And, despite the odds, a self-driving car shouldnt be programmed to choose to sacrifice its driver to keep others out of harms way. But can a computer weigh these ethical quandaries properly? Gregory Pence, Ph.D., chair of the UAB College of Arts and Sciences Department of Philosophy, says no: A computer cannot be programmed to handle them all.We know this by considering the history of ethics. Casuistry, or applied Christian ethics based on St. Thomas, tried to give an answer in advance for every problem in medicine. It failed miserably, both because many cases have unique circumstances and because medicine constantly changes. While self-driving cars arent going to go out on their own, drive around town, and kill gang members like Kings Christine,do we really want cars making life-or-death decisions for us?

Cant wait to see one on the road so I can see just how it reacts to an emergency situation myself. This is part of a bigger agenda of creating a post human world. The plan is replace humans with robots and computers. It is happening all around you. The Globalists have plans to exterminate 6 Billion people but first they need to replace us as much as possible. good news! These cars will cost so much flippin money that mostly wealthy people will be the only ones to afford it. Ill stick with my 86 Olds, 02 Caddy and 67 stang. not only will these cars be killing the driver , just think what a hacker could do. More Hype, than reality..by people whom think themselvesthinkers of the future..I refer to this sort of stuff as B SNothing more If you think these cars are not coming, think again. If you think they will be too expensive, think again. These cars are coming they are already here. They will be heavily subsidized, and insurance will be much cheaper than now. Imagine a car that never violates any traffic laws: will not speed, will not make illegal turns, will not operate with a broken taillight, will not run without proper plates and documentation, cannot be operated by anyone but the registered driver, etc., etc., etc. Imagine the money saved on traffic enforcement. Imagine the money saved on insurance claims. This is a wet dream for authoritarians. I predict that only the very rich would be able to drive their own cars by themselves. Perhaps people who still want to drive themselves will be able to afford to drive a motorcycle. It should be ok for a computer to drive us around. I mean if we ever have flying cars computers will fly them for us it definitely wont be manual piloting. http://www.darcylee.com And this type of issue is why there will never be humans and coms driving on the same roads. A computer cannot compensate for the human factor. Although a self driven car might decide to do less harm by hitting this vs that the car cannot compensate for the reaction of other human drivers. I do see a day when just like the HOV lanes, well have A.I. lanes for cars that are self driven. I am sure some cities will eventually ban human drivers altogether. So youd drive to a car park outside of town and simply be a passenger for one of many vehicles driving themselves around. And there will still be assholes on bicycles who think they own the road. Hopefully the A.I. system will decide they are all retarded and run them all over on day 1. 
1	Citing his rapidly growing social media presence and prolific, insightful takes on generally accepted accounting practices, officials from global professional services firm Deloitte announced Wednesday they had hired Boston-based accountant William Glasier shortly after noticing the 26-year-olds highly popular tweets of financial audit calculations. When we came across Williams @TheRealRiskAssessor Twitter account and read his incredibly smart and engaging tweets of gross margin sample reports, performance materiality numbers, and risk assessments, our jaws dropped and we asked, Who is this guy? said Deloitte hiring manager Jennifer Lipsky, noting that Glasiers concise, captivating posts have garnered thousands of retweets from the likes of Ernst & Young, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and consulting industry legend Dominic Barton. We immediately thought to ourselves that if William can do such fantastic cost-volume profit analysis in just 140 characters, imagine his potential writing a full unqualified opinion of financial statements. Honestly, hes one of the brightest accounting personalities on Twitter, so it was only a matter of time before someone snatched him upand were lucky it was us. Lipsky added that Deloittes top executives were further impressed upon discovering Glasiers unique and astute Instagrams of common Sarbanes-Oxley compliance errors.

Unfortunately, it looks like Clintons hiatus was temporaryshe took the time to post to her political supporters on Facebook on the day after Christmas. I believe it is our responsibility to keep doing our part to build a better, stronger, and fairer future for our country and the world, Clinton wrote. I wish you and your family health, happiness, and continued strength for the New Year and the work ahead. I look forward to staying in touch in 2017. Onward! Heres the full post below: According to reports from the Daily Caller, Clinton may be attempting to keep her supporters together for a presidential run in 2020. Sources close to the former Secretary of State say she is confident the American people will want her to step in and defeat Trump. Shes convinced that, soon than later, the voters will come to their senses and realize they made a horrible mistake by putting Trump in the White House, the source told reporters. Shes sure the votes will beg her to get in the race What do you think? Are you ready to be done with Clinton once and for all? 
2	Elvis Presley Has Long Passed But This BRAND New Performance Features A Country LEGEND Modern technology is allowing us to see things we never thought we would ever see. Holograms are allowing concert goers to experience what is was like to watch legends perform. At coachella 2-pac was reincarnated as a hologram. This works for the hip-hop world, but I am unsure if it would work for the country scene. I think it would be amazing to be able to see Johnny Cash perform live alongside a modern day star. I would die a happy man if I saw Hank Williams perform live on stage. I personally think everyone would love the hologram. Modern technology has also given people magical duets that they never thought they would hear. Elvis has been paired with countless people throughout his career, but he missed out on many great performances because of his early death. One of those duets is with Martina McBride. McBride has an amazing musical history and is loved by many. The twos voices would harmonize perfectly. Elvis smooth deep vocals with McBrides crisp high notes. I would go crazy if they were to perform again. Well, I am going crazy. Thanks to digital technology the two can be seen performing together. The song they are singing is Blue Christmans and it is amazing. The song is a staple to all christmas albums. Elvis, like he did to many songs, took a classic and made it hugely successful. Martinas version is plain amazing. The two together is heartstopping. They have perfect harmony and I cant stop listening to the song. I will most likely be putting this as my ringtone when the holiday season rolls around again. 
1	WASHINGTON, DCLiberian interim government chairman Gyude Bryant is strongly considering extending his first diplomatic visit to the U.S., the West African leader announced Monday. 'It feels like I just got here,' said Bryant, whose nation has just begun the work of rebuilding its infrastructure after 14 years of civil war. 'Why rush back to Liberia? I'm barely settled into my hotel suite. I haven't even used the whirlpool.' Bryant, head of the Liberian government since former president Charles Taylor was forced into exile, said he may as well stay at least until the violence in the city of Buchanan dies down, which would allow him to check out the Smithsonian. 
2	Liberals Tried To Take God Out Of The Marines, So They Did THIS Instead [VIDEO] In an attempt to be politically correct liberals have tried to eliminate virtually any mention of God, Christianity, or religion in public. These efforts have even had an impact on our military, who continue to be discouraged from expressing their faith. Thankfully, not everyone is willing to give in to liberal demands. Take this group of Marines for instance, who refused to let their faith take the back burner. In this video that has since gone viral, the group can be seen singing Lord, I Lift Your Name On High. The footage has gained popularity among Christian supporters, who fear that religion in our armed forces is being attacked. What do you think? Should our men and women in uniform be able to pray and express their faith openly? 
3	Turning America into a Battlefield: A Blueprint for Locking Down the NationBy John W. Whitehead It was for this reason that those who established America vested control of the military in a civilian government, with a civilian commander-in-chief. They did not want a military government, ruled by force. Rather, they opted for a republic bound by the rule of law: the U.S. Constitution. Unfortunately, with the Constitution under constant attack, the militarys power, influence and authority have grown dramatically. Even the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which makes it a crime for the government to use the military to carry out arrests, searches, seizure of evidence and other activities normally handled by a civilian police force, has been weakened by both Barack Obama and George W. Bush, who ushered in exemptions allowing troops to deploy domestically and arrest civilians in the wake of alleged terrorist acts. Now we find ourselves struggling to retain some semblance of freedom in the face of police and law enforcement agencies that look and act like the military and have just as little regard for the Fourth Amendment, laws such as the NDAA that allow the military to arrest and indefinitely detain American citizens, and military drills that acclimate the American people to the sight of armored tanks in the streets, military encampments in cities, and combat aircraft patrolling overhead. Making matters worse, we find out that the military plans to use southwestern states as staging grounds for guerilla warfare drills in which highly-trained military troops equipped with all manner of weapons turn American towns and cities in quasi-battlefields. Why? As they tell us, its so that special operations forces can get realistic military training in hostile territory. Theyve even got a name for the exercise: Jade Helm 15. Whether or not Americans have anything to fear from Jade Helm 15, a covert, multi-agency, multi-state, eight-week military training exercise set to take place this summer from July 15 through Sept. 15, remains to be seen. Insisting that theres nothing to be alarmed about, the Washington Post took great pains to point out that these military exercises on American soil are nothing new. For instance, there was Operation Bold Alligator, in which in which thousands of Marines and sailors carried out amphibious exercises against insurgent forces in Georgia and Florida.Operation Robin Sage had Green Beret soldiers engaging in guerrilla warfare in North Carolina. And Operation Derna Bridge sends Marine special forces into parts of South Carolina and the National Forest. Yet if Americans are uneasy about this summers planned Jade Helm 15 military exercises, they have every right to be. After all, havent we been urged time and time again to just trust the government to respect our rights and abide by the rule of law only to find that, in fact, our rights were being plundered and the Constitution disregarded at every turn? Lets assume, for the moment, that Jade Helm 15 is not a thinly veiled military plot to take over the country lifted straight out of director John Frankenheimers 1964 political thriller Seven Days in May, as some fear, but is merely a routine exercise for troops, albeit a blatantly intimidating flexing of the militarys muscles. The problem arises when you start to add Jade Helm onto the list of other troubling developments that have taken place over the past 30 years or more: the expansion of the military industrial complex and its influence in Washington DC, the rampant surveillance, the corporate-funded elections and revolving door between lobbyists and elected officials, the militarized police, the loss of our freedoms, the injustice of the courts, the privatized prisons, the school lockdowns, the roadside strip searches, the military drills on domestic soil, the fusion centers and the simultaneous fusing of every branch of law enforcement (federal, state and local), the stockpiling of ammunition by various government agencies, the active shooter drills that are indistinguishable from actual crises, the economy flirting with near collapse, etc. Suddenly, the overall picture seems that much more sinister. Clearly, as I point out in my new book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, theres a larger agenda at work here. Seven years ago, the U.S. Army War College issued a report calling on the military to be prepared should they need to put down civil unrest within the country. Summarizing the report, investigative journalist Chris Hedges declared, The military must be prepared, the document warned, for a violent, strategic dislocation inside the United States, which could be provoked by unforeseen economic collapse, purposeful domestic resistance, pervasive public health emergencies or loss of functioning political and legal order. The widespread civil violence, the document said, would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security. At what point will all of the governments carefully drawn plans for dealing with civil unrest, homegrown terrorism and targeting pre-crime become a unified blueprint for locking down the nation? For instance, whats the rationale behind turning government agencies into military outposts? There has been a notable buildup in recent years of SWAT teams within non-security-related federal agencies such as Department of Agriculture, the Railroad Retirement Board, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Office of Personnel Management, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Education Department. As of 2008, 73 federal law enforcement agencies [employ] approximately 120,000 armed full-time on-duty officers with arrest authority. Four-fifths of those officers are under the command of either the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or the Department of Justice. Whats with all of the government agencies stockpiling hollow point bullets? For example, why does the Department of Agriculture need .40 caliber semiautomatic submachine guns and 320,000 rounds of hollow point bullets? For that matter, why do its agents need ballistic vests and body armor? Why does the Postal Service need assorted small arms ammunition? Why did the DHS purchase 1.6 billion rounds of hollow-point ammunition, along with 7,000 fully-automatic 5.56x45mm NATO personal defense weapons plus a huge stash of 30-round high-capacity magazines? Thats in addition to the FBIs request for 100 million hollow-point rounds. The Department of Education, IRS, the Social Security Administration, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which oversees the National Weather Service, are also among the federal agencies which have taken to purchasing ammunition and weaponry in bulk. Why is the federal government distributing obscene amounts of military equipment, weapons and ammunition to police departments around the country? And why is DHS acquiring more than 2,500 Mine-Resistant Armored Protection (MRAP) vehicles, only to pass them around to local police departments across the country? According to the New York Times: [A]s President Obama ushers in the end of what he called Americas long season of war, the former tools of combat M-16 rifles, grenade launchers, silencers and more are ending up in local police departments, often with little public notice. During the Obama administration, according to Pentagon data, police departments have received tens of thousands of machine guns; nearly 200,000 ammunition magazines; thousands of pieces of camouflage and night-vision equipment; and hundreds of silencers, armored cars and aircraft. The equipment has been added to the armories of police departments that already look and act like military units. Why is the military partnering with local police to conduct training drills around the country? And what exactly are they training for? In Richland, South Carolina, for instance, U.S. army special forces participated in joint and secretive exercises and training with local deputies. The public was disallowed from obtaining any information about the purpose of the drills, other than being told that they might be loud and to not be alarmed. The Army and DHS also carried out similar drills and maneuvers involving Black Hawk helicopters in Texas, Florida, and other locations throughout the U.S., ostensibly in order to provide local police with realistic urban training. What is being done to protect the American populace from the threat of military arms and forces, including unarmed drones, being used against them? Policy analysts point to Directive No. 3025.18, Defense Support of Civil Authorities (issued on Dec. 29, 2010), as justification for the governments use of military force to put down civil unrest within the United States. Why is FEMA stockpiling massive quantities of emergency supplies? On January 10, 2014, FEMA made a statement enlisting the service of contractors who could supply medical biohazard disposal capabilities and 40 yard dumpsters to 1,000 tent hospitals across the United States; all required on 24-48 hour notice. This coincides with other medical requests seeking massive amounts of supplies, such as 31,000,000 flu vaccinations, 100,000 each of winter shirts and pants and the same for summer and other goods and services requests as well like tarps, manufactured housing units, and beverages. And why does the TSA need $21,000 worth of potassium chlorate, a chemical compound often used in explosives? Why is the Pentagon continuing to purchase mass amounts of ammunition while at the same time preparing to destroy more than $1 billion worth of bullets and missiles that are still viable? Moreover, what is really being done to hold the Pentagon accountable for its doctored ledgers, fraud, waste and mismanagement, which has cost the taxpayer trillions of dollars? According to Reuters, The Pentagon is the only federal agency that has not complied with a law that requires annual audits of all government departments. That means that the $8.5 trillion in taxpayer money doled out by Congress to the Pentagon since 1996, the first year it was supposed to be audited, has never been accounted for. That sum exceeds the value of Chinas economic output. Given the similarities between the governments Live Active Shooter Drill training exercises, carried out at schools, in shopping malls, and on public transit, which can and do fool law enforcement officials, students, teachers and bystanders into thinking its a real crisis, how much of what is being passed off as real is, in fact, being staged by DHS for the benefit of training law enforcement, leaving us none the wiser? These training exercises come complete with their own set of professionally trained Crisis Actors playing the parts of shooters, bystanders and victims in order to help schools and first responders create realistic drills, full-scale exercises, high-fidelity simulations, and interactive 3D films. Given that Americans are 110 times more likely to die of foodborne illness than in a terrorist attack, why is the government spending trillions of dollars on national security? How exactly is the $75 billion given to various intelligence agencies annually to keep us safe being spent? And why is the DHS giving away millions of dollars worth of federal security grants to states that federal intelligence agencies ruled have no specific foreign or domestic terrorism threat? Why is the government amassing names and information on Americans considered to be threats to the nation, and what criteria is the government using for this database? Keep in mind that this personal information is being acquired and kept without warrant or court order. Its been suggested that in the event of nuclear war, the destruction of the U.S. Government, and the declaration of martial law, this Main Core database, which as of 2008 contained some 8 million names of Americans, would be used by military officials to locate and round up Americans seen as threats to national security, a program to be carried about by the Army and FEMA. Taken individually, these questions are alarming enough. But put them together and they add up to the kind of trouble that the American founding fathers not only warned against but from which they fought to free themselves. Indeed, when viewed collectively, they leave one wondering what exactly the U.S. government is preparing for and whether American citizens shouldnt be preparing, as well, for that eventuality when our so-called government of the people, by the people, for the people is no longer answerable to we the people. In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1961 Constitutional attorney and author John W. Whitehead is founder and president of The Rutherford Institute where this article first appeared.

2	GRAPHIC: Mexican Terrorist Cartel Beheads Four Women As A Message To America Well, it appears that Obama is still taking his sweet time taking action to defend our borders. And we are paying the price. That was made abundantly clear in a recent video that has been circulating the Internet lately, which shows the Mexican cartel beheading four women in a message to America. The video opens with four bound women kneeling in front of 13 masked and armed men. One women is asked what her relation to a rival gang was. After she replies that her brother was a member, four cartel members step forward and proceed to slit the throats of the women, and continue to behead them. According to reports from the New Observer, the Los Zetas (the cartel in the video) date back to 1999, when they first began with the Gulf Cartel. Over ten years later, the group broke away from the Gulf Cartel to begin their own trade, and their actions have since made them the preeminent criminal organization in their country. Consequently, this bleeds into the United States as well. Americans are shocked that the president would let violence of this magnitude rage on, as he sits back and does nothing. Many feel that he has left our border open to a host of vulnerabilities. What do you think? Should Obama be forced to take action or leave office?

2	House Votes To Sue President For The First Time In History? Yesterday the House voted to authorize John Boehner to sue President Obama in federal court. No Democrat voted for this resolution, and five republicans voted against it. Here are more details from The Wall Street Journal: WASHINGTONHouse lawmakers voted Wednesday to authorize Speaker John Boehner to file suit against President Barack Obama on a complaint that he had overstepped his legal authority, setting up a possible constitutional test and giving both parties a potent campaign issue to take home for the five-week congressional recess. In a 225-201 vote, the House told Mr. Boehner (R., Ohio) to move ahead with the suit. House GOP leaders have said they would focus the suit on the White Houses decision last year to give employers a one-year reprieve on enforcing a requirement under the Affordable Care Act that they offer health coverage or pay a penalty. The requirement was delayed until 2015, and the White House then revised the health law further by saying employers with between 50 and 99 full-time workers wouldnt have to comply or pay a fee until 2016. Mr. Boehner, speaking just before the vote, said Congress needed to assert its authority under the Constitution to combat executive overreach. This isnt about Republicans and Democrats. Its about defending the Constitution we swore an oath to uphold, he said. Mr. Obama, speaking to a friendly crowd in Kansas City ahead of the vote, said that suing him wasnt a productive thing to do. Everybody recognizes this is a political stunt, he said of the lawsuit. But its worse than that, because every vote theyre taking like that means a vote theyre not taking to actually help you. What do you think about John Boehner filing suit against Obama? Do you support the Houses decision to authorize a lawsuit against Obama? Leave your comments below!

1	During a night out for dinner and drinks at Shooters Bar And Restaurant, probate attorney Michael Bradshaw built a strong case in re ordering nachos, Bradshaw's friends reported Tuesday. Bradshaw (center) discusses issues of cost with two members of his party. 'Mike can be very persuasive when it comes to appetizers,' said John Spence, one of eight diners swayed by Bradshaw's closing arguments. 'There was a split among the eaters, with four people wanting hot wings and four wanting nachos. In the end, though, Mike convinced us all, beyond a reasonable doubt, that nachos was the appropriate verdict.' Bradshaw based his opening arguments on the prima facie evidence that each diner wanted to eat a substantial amount of food. 'Mike said that if we got hot wings, we'd only get two wings each,' Spence said. 'Nachos, on the other hand, would allow for a greater number of snacking opportunities for all of us. Also, he said that he could easily convince the waitress to give us a free bowl of salsa.' Hot-wing defenders argued that the wings would come with celery and blue-cheese dressing, but Bradshaw offered a convincing rebuttal. 'Only two or three of us are likely to eat the celery,' Bradshaw said. 'Not exactly a majority, is it?' Bradshaw then called on fellow attorney Larry Paulson to determine which appetizer would leave a more damaging mark on a dress shirt. Though he had been a hot-wings supporter, Paulson admitted that the sauce could cause permanent stains. 'I bring this up because we're going to Club 66 later on, to try to get laid,' Bradshaw said. 'Can we all agree that the likelihood of failure will increase if we arrive with greasy spots on our shirts?' Further objections were raised by eaters who claimed that nacho stains were more likely to occur than hot-wing stains. 'Yes, but most nacho stains can be removed with soap and water,' Bradshaw said. 'Hot-wing sauce leaves an incontrovertible red splotch.' Added Bradshaw: 'Please suspend the ruling until I'm back. I gotta hit the john.' Upon returning, Bradshaw called amicus curiae Jim Oppel as an expert witness to the deliciousness of Shooters' nachos. 'Guys, the nachos are really great here,' Oppel said. 'We really should order those.' To further strengthen his case for nachos, Bradshaw cited numerous precedents, including the high price of the chicken fingers, the rubbery texture of the calamari, and a March 2002 incident in which Larry burned his mouth on a jalapeo popper. Bradshaw also cited a recent incident at an Indian restaurant. 'If you'll recall, Ray [Yung] pleaded nolo contendre to the charges of ordering those terrible meat samosas at Raga Palace,' Bradshaw said. 'Are we going to let him sway the vote again?' Hot-wings proponents put forward a strong defense against ordering nachos, citing Eric Johnson's aversion to olives. 'We can have the olives on the side, no problem,' Bradshaw said. 'Case closed. We'll order the nachos.' Several of those present later admitted that they were displeased with the ruling. 'I really wanted hot wings,' said Yung, an accountant. 'I should've offered to pay for them. It's hard to stand up to Mikehe's a fast-talker who knows how to turn your words against you. How do you argue with someone who uses phrases like 'doctrine of unintended consequences' to say that the onion blossom once gave Jim the runs?' 
3	FBI Manhunt Is On: Crazy Prepper on the LooseDaisy Luther Martin Howard Winters of Valrico, Florida remains at large after authorities attempted to arrest him for building lethal booby traps. An article in the Tampa Bay Times says: ABC Newsfanned the flame of fear with these quotes from terrified neighbors. The adamantly liberal anti-gun website Gawker, didnt pull any punches with their headline:Crazy Prepper on the Loose in Florida After Feds Fail to Catch Him. Interesting the quotes they used from neighbors were quite supportive of Winters (but maybe those neighbors are crazy preppers too) Gawker concluded with this gem of non-biased journalism: (Is it just me, or do you ever read stuff that is meant to be insulting mockery, but their supporting evidence merely proves your point?) The FBI is offering a $5000 reward for information on the whereabouts of Winters. Spokesman Dave Couvertier described the search for the doomsday prepper. Another expert has gotten some great airtime from this manhunt by sharing his opinion on the search for Winters. Retiredformer SWAT leader Brian Kensel doesnt believe that Winters will go down without a fight. If youre critical of the government these days, it seems to be awfully easy to be painted as a deranged killer or psychotic terrorist. It would certainly be interesting to hear more from the folks on the other side of this case, but conveniently for the government agencies, theyre all in jail.

1	WASHINGTON (AP)A unilateral caucus of the nations law enforcement officials yesterday unveiled Americas new food-crime equivalency ratings for 1996 . Passed unanimously, the ratings take effect May 1 and will be enforced in all 50 states, as well as Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Initially enforced on a state-by-state basis, 1996 will mark the first time the ratings are consistent throughout the nation. The nations governors expressed relief that each states worst food-crime offenders could no longer simply go across the border to a state with more lenient punishments for certain food crimes. Said Maine Governor William Ryan: I am very comfortable knowing that if someone is caught with poultry in my state, they will now be subject to the same criminal charges (manslaughter) as they would in any other state.

3	Police Block Highway for Strange Truck Convoy That Goes On for MilesYouTube Did anyone follow this convoy to see where it was going? I was thinking the same thing.Yet they would have to be very adventurous and fearless. And I often consider that minds are mellowed and controlled as to not consider such an endeavor. Deep underground military bases, or (DUMBS) comes to mindhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhxazsfRT9c Over 100 semi trucks of goods heading to a Special Olympics event??? Why would they need a police escort? I call bullshit, I do not trust this government and neither should you. Everything they tell us is lies. My guess is these trucks are headed to a labyrinth of underground tunnels where our beloved politicians will retreat to when SHTF. They have something up their sleeve. Perhaps they are getting ready for a Ebola outbreak, who knows.. Or a fake ebola outbreak, followed by compulsory damage causing vaccines for The Great Culling of the Useless Eaters, words used by an Insider Head of State to her doctor, Dr Rima who as a qualified medical doctor prefers to practice natural medicine. This was just before the fake swine flu crisis during which the vaccines caused such serious/fatal reactions they could not get away with it for long. On youtube there are videos showing fake african ebola victims and their family members, crisis actors (one walking off with money in hand) busting CNN, NYTimes and a Dr Without Borders commenter. One boy walked normally to a canvas then lay down and lay still for the camera.Shame on them. Ask yourself: Was such a convoy necessary for the OLYMPICS? The OLYMPICS that the entire world participates in? Never. They think were idiots, those of us reading this post. But they know most are idiots who will not question anything except if their cable TV went off. Then there would be riots and conspiracy theories abounding. Signs on trucks can be intentionally misleading A police escort is one thing, shutting down the highway is something else; this is for a DHS reason and not a good one for us. Faye is correct, the trucks markings can be just for show. Whatever was in the trucks was very important as there were trailer less rigs there in case of a break down so as to not get outside people involved or stop the convoy. This was a point to point transport, if anyone blocked their path, you would have seen guns drawn on them. I have seen this with nukes being transported.

3	Zika Hoax: Five Things That Will Happen NextBy Jon Rappoport In previous articles, I established that the Zika virus uproar is a hoax. There was no reason to assume the number of Brazilian cases of microcephaly was extraordinary. There is no reason to assume the Zika virus has anything to do with microcephaly. My previous quote: Now we have a January 27 Associated Press story out of Rio, published in SFGate: 270 of 4,180 suspected microcephaly cases confirmed. Thats called a clue, in case youre wondering. Of the previously touted 4,180 cases of microcephaly in Brazil, the actual number of confirmed cases so far is, well, only 270. Bang. But wait, theres more. AP: Brazilian officials said the babies with the defect [microcephaly] and their mothers are being tested to see if they had been infected. Six of the 270 confirmed microcephaly cases were found to have the [Zika] virus. Bang, bang, bang. Out of all the microcephaly cases re-examined in Brazil, only six have the Zika virus. That constitutes zero proof that Zika has anything to do with microcephaly. But of course, The Machine is rolling and it will move forward. Also, a number of independent investigators are behind the curve. They are still assuming there is proof of a Zika-microcephaly epidemic. If there is proof, it is nowhere to be found yet. Here are five things that will happen next. One: Health agencies and reporters will mention cases of microcephaly in other countries, and they will automatically connect them to the Zika virus, or they will suggest there could be a connection. This baseless claim is part of the operation to build up the story and spread fear. Microcephaly can be caused by any insult to the brain during fetal development. Two: There will be more stories about the rush to develop a vaccine against Zika, the virus that hasnt been proved to cause anything serious. Three: Some independent researchers will continue to insist that Zika is actually a weaponized biowar virus. They will ignore the fact that, as yet, Zika hasnt been shown to cause microcephaly. Or they will point to genetically engineered mosquitoes and the Tdap vaccine as the cause of the Zika epidemicwhen there is no proof the epidemic exists. Yes, the vaccine and the mosquitoes are quite dangerous to health, but there is no reason to tout a Zika/microcephaly epidemic when proof isnt there. Four: The truth here is: absence of evidence. On the one hand, the CDC and the World Health Organization will grudgingly admit it would be useful to assemble more hard evidence connecting Zika to microcephaly. On the other hand, they will press forward with emergency warnings to pregnant mothers; travel advisories; and they will emphasize the need to come up with a vaccine. Then, theyll forget all about the need for more evidence. Five: Investigators and researchers will ignore the fact that there is a very real health crisis in Brazil, and it has existed for a long time. The rampant use of toxic pesticides, grinding poverty, contaminated water, lack of basic sanitation, overcrowding, the takeover of farm land by major corporations, prior toxic vaccine campaignsthese are all factors that cause massive illness, suffering, and death in Brazil. Again, I emphasize: The release of genetically engineered mosquitoes in Brazil, based on no health studies, is a crime, to say the least. But there is no need to claim these insects are causing an epidemic of microcephalysince there is no evidence of an epidemic. There is every reason to oppose this GE mosquito campaign. For the past 30 years, Ive been analyzing and taking apart phony epidemics. There are two things you must do, among others. Demand proof that the touted cause is really the cause. And discover whether the number of ill people is being accurately reported. So far, re microcephaly, there is no proof the touted cause is the cause. And the recent revision of evidence indicates there are far, far fewer cases of microcephaly in Brazil than initially trumpeted. Here is a sixth thing that may happen now. Those Brazilian researchers who went back in and looked at their own evidence for a second time and found no proof of a microcephaly epidemic and no causal connection to the Zika virus? The World Health Organization and the CDC could move in and apply some heavy pressure and arming-twisting: Look, boys, you messed up big-time. Weve got a raging epidemic here because we say so. And Zika is the cause because we say so. Now, you look again and come up with the answer we want. Were the pros. We run the show. Youre nothing. If you want future careers, youll do the smart thing. Get it? And then at another level, the US State Department will exert pressure based on aid programs to Brazil. You want the money to keep flowing? You want to reap the rewards youre getting from Monsantos presence in Brazil? You want our continuing help with security for the Olympics? Get on the right side of this story. Get out in front of trouble. Play ball. And then, if the Brazilians fold up and submit and obey, youll hear something like this from their now-apologetic researchers: Well, when we looked at those 3000-plus other possible cases of microcephaly for a second time, guess what? Wow. We found most of them are, in fact, microcephaly. And the Zika virus was present in all those cases. This is really is an epidemic, and it is caused by Zika. This is a global pandemic. We fully support the World Health Organization. We must have a Zika vaccine as soon as possible. Dont get pregnant. Do what youre told. Go along, or tell the truth. Go along, or tell the truth.

What is the point of all this?Thousands of people are cancelling their holidays, Well soon find out I expect I am sure we will get an answer soon. Maybe a vaccine? It will be recommended by all governments, maybe even mandatory to stop the global Zika epidemic! But nobody will explain the vaccine is tainted. Then in the future women will discover they cant get pregnant. B/c the vaccine made them infertile. As to your hospital, they simply have not read Jon Rappoport article and even if they did, they would probably not believe it b/c it simply sounds so sinister and governments are not sinister, are they. no mention of the troops they are sending in? I just read that there is now a sexually transmitted case in Texas. So they say. They dont know what lies to tell any more so that sheeple would believe them. Jesus is still Lord and will protect his children Always be a light shininginthedark Keep ranting, mate, keep ranting! Hows that been working out for the planet so far, do you think, Dio? Like, say, in the Childrens Crusade of the early 13th century,or during the outbreaks of bubonic plague in predominantly Christian Europe in the middle 14th century? Just because a country identifies as Christian does not make it so No evil shall come nigh my dwelling Thank you Jesus for covering your real people with your protection Jesus is the son of (G)old, (O)il, (D)iamonds. Maybe your God, not my Yahweh!! Woohoo and he is coming for his children This makes sense suddenly the Zika virus, a virus I had never heard of is taking over the world. Transmitted by sexual contact, WOW, the scare tactics have arrived. right, so sexually active people who like camping or being outdoors. beware! Perhaps it is a new wage for the oil companies to get rid of environmentalists? New Tdap vaccine mandated by Brazilian Elite Last year. Small brain virus my azz! Thank God for the WHO, I remember they saved us from the HN1N virus that was so deadly we were all going to die a horrible death, but it was just so UNtrue, its all so UNbelievable. Well put! MY MY MY EBOLA re-boot coming soon probably with travel restrictions of some kind-interstate or intrastate. Im pretty sure I saw this already in a episode of SG1. A pandemic, the sudden vaccine from a benevolent outside source, the vaccine causes sterility, the population dies off leaving a caretaker people on a world turned over for farming for those very same benevolent outsiders. Sound familiar? Hold the scientist feet to the fire let them take the vaccines they say will cure / kill the non existent virus. they are the worst bunch of liars as bad as any cia or fbi or dhs or atf or cops. this is another global warming type hoax. Ill star taking the bets, Which one is it gonna be? Pick a number and place a bet, 10% goes to the house! Guess what.. an Indian company has discovered a cure and guess what more.. its funded by Bill Gates fundation. As someone told me.. Monsanto GMO and pesticides are already causing massive small-head children.. so this is a pure cover up. Rockefeller owns the Virus since 1947, Rockefeller owns Monsanto. Well, I can see where all of this is going. Population reduction. Lets make woman fearful for their unborn children to get a vaccine that is not needed. Then in that vaccine lets release a genetic marker that will cause all pregnancies to abort, like with what was done in Kenya. Cause the woman who want to be pregnant not to be able too. Coming up next, the Zomebolaids virus. Were all going to mutate die horrible deaths, but dont worry youll come back. The criteria for diagnosing microsephalia is just a slight less head On my local Florida news they highlighted a biologist that has developed an algae that will kill the larvae of the subject mosquito. The media story went on to say it was backed by Bill Gates. As in most tampering with nature the end result is not what was expected and additional problems were created. Physicians in the area where the most babies with malformed heads are blaming it on Pyriproxy. It was purported to be put into the water supply to mutate mosquito larvae. I believe Monsanto is the developer. August 6, 2016 Todays report for the Zika in Florida is 479 infected pregnant women. Its a wait and see how many children will be affected. 
2	Wounded Warrior Sends Trump Into Rage After THIS 1 Comment... Pulls Out Phone Right Away [VIDEO] A 21-year-old veteran and wounded warrior of the United States Army just had a powerful interaction with Donald Trumpand Americans need to pay attention to it. During a recent event, Trump noticed the man in the wheelchair, and decided to approach them to hear their story. With the current administration, warrior care is lacking to say the least, and especially post-service, Todd asked Trump. What else will the Trump administration do better than the Obama administration? I am going to put pressure on the VA like you wont believe, Trump said, asking the couple to give him their personal contact information. Lets see if we can get this. As president, I can guarantee it, he continued. As Trump, I can say, Ill probably be able to pull it off anyway. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
2	Obama Betrays America, Shows Allegiance To... When President Obama addressed the U.N. this week, his focus was heavily on religion. Once again, he took the opportunity to discount the threat of radical Islam. Instead, he chose to criticize those who demonize people of other faiths. Like terrorists and tyrants throughout history, ISIL will eventually lost because it has nothing to offer but suffering and death, Obama told listeners, implying that he has no intention to act. Unfortunately, in this case, Obamas passive attitude puts us at serious risk. No one should be profiled or targeted simply because of their faith, he continued. Later, @WhiteHouse tweeted: Violent extremism is not unique to any one faith, so one should ever be profiled or targeted simply because of their faith. @POTUS

2	Kurt Russell Absolutely Demoralizes Daily Beast Bill Maher On Live TV Kurt Russell has been stirring up trouble in the political world by finally coming forward with his strong Conservative views. First, he came forward to Hollywood Elsewhere with his views on gun control and terrorism. Next he made a guest appearance on The View where he defended his supportive position on the Second Amendment. Now, Russell has taken it to Daily Beast Bill Maher with some serious punch. I wasnt a Republican, I was worse: I was a hardcore libertarian. Im not a Bill Maher libertarian. Thats faux-libertarianism. He doesnt know what it is. I like him, and hes a nice guy, but seriously, thats not libertarianism, Russell said. I was a young guy, I was finding myself not quite being able to see the things that were going on and buy into a political culture. I didnt know what to do, so I finally said, Why dont I go back and see what the Founding Fathers were all about, and see how that stacked up, he said in his interview with Maher. Well, I found them and I found libertarianism. They were pretty radical guys, and damn smart, and I just believe in that old-time stuff and think they had great ideas. Im pretty energetic, and Im pretty knowledgeable. I dont pop off without finding out about stuffand I like finding out about stuff, and dont have that much of an agenda about it, he said. I believe in limited Constitutional government, free market capitalism, reach for the brass ring. Theres this place where you can go do that and dont step on anybodys toes and still try to reach for the brass ring. We support Russells views and of course any attempt to take a shot at Bill Maher. Do you think Russell sees the world better than most? 
3	Thailand, International Oil, and the Future of EnergyTony Cartalucci Much of this money, it is alleged, ends up leaving the country. What remains is often divided up amongst a handful of special interests leaving little if anything at all left for the actual people and nation that has provided this vast source of energy and riches. Also of particular contention is the domestic energy market itself. Being run mainly by foreign and local energy monopolies, many suspect the price of energy for consumers is arbitrarily or criminally manipulated. This in turn has a direct impact on the quality of life of Thailands 70 million people as well as an impact on the overall economic development of the country. Raising suspicions further were admissions by the Saudis that they have been intentionally rigging global energy prices as a means of pressuring Russia regarding Syria. The New York Times in their article, Saudi Oil Is Seen as Lever to Pry Russian Support From Syrias Assad, admits: Saudi Arabia has been trying to pressure President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia to abandon his support for President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, using its dominance of the global oil markets at a time when the Russian government is reeling from the effects of plummeting oil prices. In reality, Saudi Arabia is adjusting prices as per the demands of Washington and Wall Street, and in addition to pressuring Russia regarding Syria, it is also part of a plan to undermine and eventually overthrow the government of Russia itself. And if energy prices can be used as a weapon against a nation as big as Russia, surely they could be used as a weapon to manipulate, undermine, and endanger the sovereignty of Thailand. Clearly then the world has misplaced its trust in these corporations and the governments they are apparently partnered with, using energy not for the greatest good of humanity, its development, and progress, but rather for their own self-serving hegemonic ambitions around the planet. Arbitrarily dropping energy prices through the floor to attack Russia, means that prices can also arbitrarily be raised to bolster bottom lines. The vast majority of society as a consequence must suffer market instability caused by these self-serving price manipulations. Artificially low or high prices have a direct impact on all other aspects of the economy, setting off a chain reaction of events all of society must adjust to for better or generally, for worse. This flagrant abuse by corporations and governments of their virtually uncontested control over the energy sector, then, makes the talking points of those in Thailand speaking up against recent talks over oil concessions valid. Any concession must take these realities into consideration and put in measures to rein in abuses, price fixing, corruption, theft, and environmental devastation. For the current government in Thailands part, concessions have been put on hold after a growing crescendo of vocal opposition. What comes next remains to be seen. Fight Oil Monopolies or Replace Them? Energy is the foundation of modern society. Everything from manufacturing to commerce, to the daily life of every member of society requires energy both in the form of electricity and in the form of fuel for transportation. Energy, therefore, is a matter of national security. Open matters of national security instinctively would never be left open to the meddling of foreign interests be they governments or immense corporations. Dependence on foreign entities for matters of national security present obvious compromises few nations would be willing to make. Then why is Thailand and other nations in ASEAN and around the world so willing to sacrifice national security at the behest of these immense foreign special interests? The answer is power and wealth. Big-oil and the corporate-financier interests they are entwined with have many tools with which to excise from any given nation their objectives. Despite the best efforts of many nations to protect their energy independence, big-oil possesses ways of persuading them otherwise. Nations that insist on standing up to these special interests, particularly Russia, Iran, or Venezuela, have suffered decades of attempts to undermine and overthrow each of their respective sociopolitical and economic orders. Other nations like Iraq or Libya, have been destroyed and left in ruins entirely. Perhaps then the key is abandoning this centralized model of energy production altogether. Through an orderly transition from a petrochemical-based economy to one built upon increasingly decentralized alternatives, the vast unwarranted power and wealth of big-oil can be slowly but surely undermined into a force of external and domestic belligerence more easily managed and defended against. The future of energy, therefore, does not lie in the hands of national and international power brokers, but instead in the hands of local communities which can start today to establish supplemental alternative power sources until they garner the experience and resources to replace entirely existing energy infrastructure with locally produced and controlled energy and fuel. The additional benefit of such a decentralized model of energy production is that the profits too, will be decentralized. No longer will jealous, bitter battles need to be fought over the distribution of income that results from immense, centralized, energy enterprises. The temptation of both corruption and greed will be decentralized and minimized. Already in nations around the world, energy cooperatives local groups who invest together into an alternative local power production system are becoming a reality. As technology marches forward, the ability for such cooperatives to grow in number and efficiency will move forward as well. National governments, particularly in developing countries in Southeast Asia, stand the most to gain in the long term from both minimizing to the best of their ability exploitation at the hands of foreign energy monopolies, while encouraging local communities to replace entirely their dependence on these monopolies. The prize for these governments is a future in which foreign energy interests are no longer endowed with the ability to lean on them at the expense of their own nations peace, stability, and prosperity. This leaning also gives way to opportunities for foreign-backed opposition movements to seize power, further endangering the sovereignty and interests of any given nation. For those protesting Thailands concessions today, they should perhaps consider a second track to pursue in parallel one in protest of concessions that put Thailand at a disadvantage, and another seeking to end Thailands dependency on energy monopolies altogether. Energy is a matter of national security. As such, those protesting oil concessions in Thailand, and those hearing the protests, should be able to agree that the current energy paradigm is far from ideal. Finding a middle ground on current concessions would be a start, and agreeing on a longer-term, permanent solution to absolve Thailand of dependence on foreign corporations and their unwarranted power and influence should be a favorable final goal all parties can agree on. The beauty of Thailands potential ability to navigate and escape from the edge of the black hole that is international big-oil, is that it will provide a model for other nations to follow. Such a journey is surely fraught with great risk, but in the end may deliver salvation.

3	Good People Dont Smoke Marijuana Clueless Senator Just Vilified 50% of All AmericansBy Justin Gardner Chuck Grassley and Dianne Feinstein, the two oldest members of the Senate, hosted the event and invited other prohibition crusaders such as Nebraska attorney general Doug Peterson, who attempted to sue Colorado for being a drug cartel. Sen. Jeff Sessions also attended and provided perhaps the most laughable statement of the hearing when he said, good people dont smoke marijuana. I cant tell you how concerning it is for me, emotionally and personally, to see the possibility that we will reverse the progress that weve made. It was the prevention movement that really was so positive, and it led to this decline. The creating of knowledge that this drug is dangerous, it cannot be played with, it is not funny, its not something to laugh about, and trying to send that message with clarity, that good people dont smoke marijuana. Its hard to know where to begin with this asinine statement. Firstly, Sessions insulted about half of the American population who use cannabis. Pot has never seemed to stifle success, but surely the righteous Senator would not dare insult his fellow statesmen who have used the plant recreationally. All those people treating their health ailments with cannabis, whether smoked or its extracts eaten, cant be doing any good in healing themselves. Medical science should not be promoting such bad behavior! On a more serious note, as we discover the miraculous functions of the endocannabinoid system, we are finding ways to harness that system through the application of cannabis compounds to both heal and prevent disease. The National Cancer Institute has recognized that cannabis kills cancer. The American Epilepsy Society has deemed cannabis the most promising treatment for seizures. We have reported on numerous studies and instances of the incredible potential of cannabis in treating epileptic seizures. Many veterans of war are finding the only thing that can treat the post-traumatic stress disorder is cannabis, with some able to give up harmful prescription drugs. But these arent good people to Sen. Sessions, even if they are avoiding mental breakdowns by using the plant. Indeed, all cannabis use can be considered therapeutic. Conditions that are treated with dangerous pharmaceutical drugsmarketed by a lucrative partnership between government and Big Pharmacan instead be alleviated with a plant that anyone can grow. With all that we now know about cannabis, it is truly a mystery as to how anyoneespecially one of a hundred Senators who profess to lead our nation in progresscan cling to the fallacies of 20th-century prohibition. Sen. Grassley set the stage for the hearing with this characterization: In 2013, the Department of Justice decided to all but abandon the enforcement of federal law relating to the possession, cultivation, and distribution of marijuana in states that were in the process of becoming the only jurisdictions in the world to legalize and regulate all these activities for recreational use. The outdated senators are longing for the days of Nancy Reagans Just Say No campaign while her husband ushered in the height of the drug war. Full-on prohibition brought skyrocketing jail populations of people who committed victimless crimes, and fueled an immense black market that creates death and worsens addiction. This nefarious legacy of Reagan was built on decades of lies and propaganda. Participants at Tuesdays hearing channeled the ghost of Reefer Madness, with Grassley attempting to link cannabis use to rising heroin addiction. Just last year, the Centers for Disease Control found that people who are addicted to marijuana are three times more likely to be addicted to heroin. So if the Obama Administration is serious about addressing this epidemic, it should stop burying its head in the sand about whats happening to its enforcement priorities on recreational marijuana. This deception could not be more dangerous, as it hides the real reason behind the heroin epidemic prescription opioid pills. When people run out of money and the government makes it harder to get pills, they turn to much cheaper and more readily available heroin. In fact, the opposite of what Grassley said is true. Cannabis can reduce heroin abuse by avoiding the use of opioid pills. As we reported last August, deaths from opioid painkillers plummet in states with legal cannabis. More researchers are suggesting their patients try medical cannabis as an alternative to opioid pills. Astonishing numbers of people are reporting that they substitute cannabis for prescription drugs. While the senators hold a sham hearing on the mythical evils of cannabis, Grassley is refusing to hold hearings on legislation that would legalize medical cannabis use and downgrade it from a Schedule 1 classification. Unlike Grassleys lack of factual information, the CARERS Act is based on overwhelming scientific evidence. The remarks of the clueless senators would be amusing if they werent so dangerous. Sessions said, We need grown-ups in charge in Washington to say marijuana is not the kind of thing that ought to be legalized. But this is not surprising coming from a man who disputed the point that cannabis is less harmful than alcohol by saying, Lady Gaga says shes addicted to it and it is not harmless. The good news is that, in all likelihood, hardly anyone will take this farce of a hearing seriously. The senators and their few allies represent a disappearing breed of drug war crusaders fueled by stubborn irrationality, and apparently wish to take this reputation into retirement. If you found what you watched in the video above at all disturbing, feel free to peacefully reach out to these clearly out of touch people and voice your concern. United States Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control Hart Senate Office Building Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. This is what I have been telling people all along. There is no difference between D and R. The DEA will soon reconsider rescheduling cannabis out of Schedule 1 and into a less restrictive category. How much do you want to bet it stays in Schedule 1? The for profit prison industry and law enforcement agencies have too much to gain from its continued prohibition yep Yeah. All too true. Senator Sessions has no authority to supposedly protect a person from themselves. The only Court of general jurisdiction for the Federal Government is the Supreme Court; all other courts are courts of special jurisdiction. Courts of special jurisdiction have power over federal employees and federal property only; they have jurisdiction over you if you dont challenge it. Lawyers are Officers of the Court and will be as honest towards their clients as any vaccine shill doctor is to his profit marg, patients. so let me see if i understand this.. twisted psychopaths who vote to have our military illegally and immorally murder people in foreign countries, somehow have convinced themselves that good people dont smoke marijuana? Genius has its limits, stupidity has no such limitation! Stupidity is like Radiation, you wouldnt want to get any on you Just highlights the fact that these elected officials are clueless, and in no way represent the people. These dinosaur brains are either victims of the brainwashing surrounding marijuana, or malicious rent boys following orders. These are the same people that eat Oxicodone(spelling?) for breakfast. Beyond laughable BTW: nobodysaysboo Im all in with TRUMP. People in Nebraska who voted on the side of marijuana both Republicans and Democrats are not buying our governors stand on this, and after he vetoed our votes you can bet he will not win another term. This just in: Thomas Jefferson wasnt a good person! The congress and its members are the mentally ill. The continual lies that come from these congressmen/women about everything from banking to the need for more education reform and the need to stop the global warming/climate change by imposing more taxes on carbon has reached the level of supreme stupidity and outright psychopathic behavior. Perhaps it is time to fire them all through impeachment or what ever means is necessary. They no longer serve the people. They are all just bullies who have no real strength in themselves and can not stand alone to face the god that inspired the constitution. Are they morally corrupt? Do they take bribes? Do they know the creator? Blessings may all stand strong against this tyranny. Good people dont allow corrupt and ignorant politicians micromanage their lives without consequences for both. Sessions is (once again) showing his ignorance. Move to Coolrado and imbibe for the health of it and watch the gorgeous sunsets with a little help from your friends. Laugh or cry? Couldnt be simpler. Couldnt be more transparent upon reflection. But since denial is much more comfortable by eliminating cognitive dissonance, the system is obscured and made to seem impenetrably complex. Be sure and create a file for this and share this with anyone and everyone. Thanks for viewing and commenting. Both Government Explained and Government Explained 2 are a good watch. This source has allot of creativity and intellectual creative mind candy as I call it for people who use reason. Please share. Sessions said he wanted to spread the message that good people dont smoke mj, to scare people away from it. I am sure he would not say that alcoholics arent good people, but if he can run a scare campaign that prevents some people from becoming alcoholics, he might say whatever he thinks would work. Mj certainly inhibits creativity. It creates a passiveness also. Has it been tested to see if it lowers IQ? I know some people use it for pain, and medical mj is available in a lot of states, but thats different. There are so many lies here. We need to stop voting for incumbents before we look at their voting records. We need politicians who will research and move with the times and to will of the voters. If any of them are interested in getting more knowledge on the subject then they need to do the work including take classes or do their own research on the class. 
2	Megyn Kellys Dreams Are Crushed After Receiving Devastating News Earlier this month, Fox News host Megyn Kelly announced she was leaving Fox News to take a job at NBC News. Initially, she was very happy with her decision. She had, after all, spent the better part of this year desperately trying to appeal to mainstream audiences. It didnt take long for fans to realize she had made a big mistake. According to Newsweek, though Fox offered Kelly $100 million to stay at the network, she still decided to jump ship. Her new salary at NBC has not yet been revealed to the public, but sources close to the network say that she is being offered between $17-18 million. And though a three-show deal may sound appealing, experts say they are all recipes for failure. The first show Kelly will appear on is a daytime talk show, which is a notoriously hard time to be successfulespecially with Kellys hard approach to the news. Kellys second show will appear on Sunday nightanother leader in rating losses. Its questionable whether Kelly will be able to develop any kind of loyal fan base. Her last gig is the most promising of the three but still pales in comparison to having her own show with Fox News. Kelly has reportedly been offered a position with the 9 AM hour of the Today show. Kelly will not bring very many fans with her to NBC. She alienated most of her fans this year by frequently disrespecting president-elect Donald Trump. Experts predict the one-star will be bumped to MSNBC, going from the top-rated news network to the lowest.

2	Race Baiting Rapper Thug Chris Brown Just Got Hit With Devastating Justice According to recent reports, singer Chris Brown was arrested yesterday on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. His arrest followed an hours-long standoff with police who responded to a womans call for help from his home in Los Angeles. Police Lt. Chris Ramirez of the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed authorities were transporting Brown from his home to downtown police headquarters to be formally booked. Earlier in the day, Ramirez claims several people were escorted from the residence after a search warrant was served. The woman who made the call for help at 3 a.m. was not inside the hilltop estate, and Ramirez did not identify the woman or provide details about the assistance she needed. Shortly before the warrant was served, Browns attorney Mark Geragos arrived at the home. Multiple media outlets reported that Brown pointed a gun at the woman before she was able to escape. No shots were firedright now thats all we have, the LAPD told reporters. So I dont sleep half the damn night, I just wake up to all these mother f***ing helicopters, choppers is around, police out there at the gate, Brown commented. I aint did st. I aint going to do st. And its always going to be be fk the police black lives matter ner, he commented. I dont care yall going to stay playing with me like Im the villain out here, like Im going crazy. You guys got me fked up though because good luck when you get the warrant or whatever you need to do. Youre going to walk right up in here and youre going to see nothing you idiots. Im tired of fking dealing with you all, yall the worst gang in the world, the police, and I said it. The LA Times reports officers made an attempt to enter Browns house but were turned away and told to obtain a search warrant. This is not the first time Brown has had trouble with the law for violent outbursts towards women. What do you think? Does Brown deserve to be behind bars? 
3	Fast Food Healthcare CoverageStephen Lendman October 1 begins a new era of healthcare market rules. On the one hand, insurers no longer can refuse consumers for preconditions. On the other, lots of rude awakenings await. They include bare bones plans. New health insurance exchanges (HIX) are state, federal, or jointly-provided options. Theyre marketplaces for consumers to compare and choose plans. They determine whos eligible for federal subsidies. They offer a confusing array of plans. Theyre privately run. Many will leave consumers paying around 40% of costs out-of-pocket. Theyll do so after spending thousands of dollars on premiums. On October 1, open enrollment begins for individuals, families and small businesses. It continues until March 31, 2014. Coverage begins January 1. Enrolling post-3/31 is permitted only in case of job loss, birth, marriage or divorce. Consumers earning under 400% of official poverty qualify for federally subsidized private health insurance. Privately run companies provide it. Beginning in 2014, the IRS will enforce 47 new tax provisions. Doing so promises to be nightmarish. Giving the agency power over healthcare is scandalous. Enormous harm is likely. Health insurance marketplace is the official term for exchanges. Theyre also called HIXs, ObamaCare Exchanges, Health Benefits Exchanges, Health Care Exchanges, Health Insurance Marketplaces, and Affordable Insurance Exchanges. They can operate jointly with Washington. They can let federal authorities create and run their exchange. They must be fully operational by January 1, 2014. States creating their own exchange qualify for full federal funding. Those doing so can choose which providers can offer coverage. The Department of Health and Human Services runs the federal exchange. In jointly-run ones, providers meeting minimum federal and state requirements can compete for customers. Over the past generation, coverage eroded markedly. Obamas Affordable Care Act (ACA) makes underinsurance the new normal. Potential consequences are financially and medically grave. ACA will reduced uninsured numbers from 50 to 30 million. Insurance afforded is full of holes. Its confusing. It rips off consumers for profit. Costs vary by state and the negotiating power of exchanges. Prescription drug coverage isnt all inclusive. Some medications arent covered. Americans deserve better. Universal single-payer coverage alone provides it. Growing millions of Americans face life or debt. Above 400% of poverty, subsidies disappear. Premiums escalate. Deductibles and co-pays add thousands more. Growing millions cant afford it. ACA rations care. Its a boon for predatory providers. It enriches insurers, drug companies and large hospital chains. It does nothing to control costs. Theyre spiraling out of control. States can institute co-pays for the poorest of the poor on Medicaid. Healthcare should be a universal right. ACA denies it. Everyone must be covered. Anyone not is penalized. Millions unable to afford employer coverage are ineligible for federal aid. Uninsured middle-income consumers eligible for subsidized coverage may use healthcare exchanges. Safety net programs are for low income households. ACA stipulates that coverage cant cost more than 9.5% of family income. Recipients it considers able to buy insurance are ineligible for subsidies. Affordability is in the eye of the beholder. Family coverage is nearly threefold higher than for individuals. If employers dont provide it, recipients are out of luck. Theyre forced to choose from among unacceptable exchange options. ACA scams consumers. It makes Americas dysfunctional system worse. It sacrifices healthcare for profits. It does so irresponsibly. In March 2012, Consumer Reports (CR) provided a guide to bare bones plans. It headlined Junk health insurance. Stingy plans may be worse than none at all. It might seem to be health insurance, if you dont look too closely, CR said. The premiums are surprisingly affordable. And so millions of unemployed people, service industry workers, and those taken in by fast-talking telemarketers sign up. They may think theyre insured until they have a medical problem and find out that their coverage is as skimpy as a hospital gown. Obama, administration officials, and congressional Democrat scam artists sold ACA as consumer-friendly. It bears repeating. Its a scheme to enrich providers. It does so at the expense of human health. It rations care. HIX holders affected by expensive illness will find out the hard way. Some plans are called mini-meds. Employers and large insurers offer them. Lesser known companies offer health discount cards and fixed benefit indemnity plans. Theyre so inadequate, regulators dont consider them to be health insurance at all, said CR. Consumers dont realize theyve been had. Some of these companies operate one step ahead of the law. These type plans and others like them were supposed to disappear after ACA passed. It says healthcare plans can no longer cap essential annual or lifetime benefits. In fall 2010, McDonalds threatened to drop its mini-med plan. It wont offer adequate coverage. Other low-wage employers operate the same way. The Obama administration granted temporary waivers. They let mini-meds continue until 2014. Major ACA provisions begin phasing in on January 1. They continue doing so until 2020. CR warned about insurance that isnt. These type schemes include fixed benefit indemnity plans. They reimburse a set amount. Its inadequate. Medical discount cards offer what their name applies. They do so for a set monthly fee. After January 1, they may not qualify as coverage. Unsuspecting consumers buy them. They dont understand the risk. They dont cover serious illness expenses. Theyre worthless when people most need help. According to American Cancer Society Cancer Action Networks senior policy director Stephen Finan: Its amazing how quickly these companies appear and disappear. Theyre small operations that are one step ahead of the sheriff. More confusing are plans combining indemnity and discounts. Iowa Policy Project senior research consultant Colin Gordon said they do it to parrot the coverage of conventional health insurance. Kaiser Family Foundation senior fellow Karen Pollitz advises: Dont buy fixed benefit plans. Youll still be uninsured but out a bunch of money. CR says avoid pitfalls when buying (health) insurance on your own. Dont shop from a search engine. If you Google affordable health insurance, youll see sites that promise instant quotes. Avoid them. Its impossible to know which ones are legitimate. A telemarketer will likely call. They offer junk, says CR. According to Georgetown University Professor Mila Kofman: Few licensed health insurance companies market to consumers in this way, and even fewer sell directly to consumers. Dont respond to flyers on telephone poles, faxes, robo-calls, or late-night infomercials, says CR. Look up real plans at Healthcare.gov. Its a federal web site. It lists legitimately licensed healthcare plans. Contact them directly. Consult an independent broker. According to Montanas commissioner of securities and insurance: They handle various reputable provider plans. They know which products are real and which ones are scams. Check with your state insurance department. Most have web sites. They include information on state-licensed healthcare plans. CRs health insurance buying guide offers valuable advice. Beginning October 1, consumers face a bewildering array of confusing/deceptive information and choices. Navigating through them isnt simple. According to CR: Which health insurance plan is right for you depends on many factors, most notably your age, whether you are employed, and whether your employer offers you insurance or you have to buy on your own. Check CRs health insurance rankings. Use them for help in choosing a plan thats right for you based on where you live, your circumstances, and the kind of coverage you think you need. Understanding health insurance isnt easy. ACA made doing so more complicated. CR explains how to choose wisely. Its most recent information is dated August 2013. It covers three important questions to ask: (1) What does the plan cover? Some may exclude benefits consumers most need. Insurance sold to individuals and small business are supposed to cover: Large company plans are supposed to offer the same benefits. Many questions remain. Consumers will get all the healthcare they can pay for. Low income households will get skimpy government help. (2) How much does the plan cost? State plans will be standardized. Theyll offer various combinations of premiums and cost-sharing. Bronze plans are cheapest. Theyll cover 60% of member costs. Silver plans provide 70%. Gold plans offer 80%. Platinum plans are most costly. They cover 90%. Which plan is right depends on individual age, health, financial condition and other relevant circumstances. All plans include cost sharing. Consumers are responsible for deductibles and co-pays. How much depends on which plan is chosen. Other cost sharing terms include coinsurance. Its a fixed cost percentage consumers must pay out-of-pocket for treatment options. An out-of-pocket limit refers to a maximum annual amount. Once reached, insurers must pay 100% of further costs. Most consumers never incur enough expense to qualify. High premium plans have lower limits. Beginning January 1, out-of-pocket limits cant exceed $6,350 for individuals and those in small groups. For families, its $12,700. Some plans may offer lower amounts. (3) Which doctors and hospitals are in it? All plans have their own providers. They have contractual arrangements with them. They dont work with others. Using them will get consumers stuck with bills perhaps they cant afford. On September 28, New York Times editors headlined Dawn of a Revolution in Health Care. Duplicitously they said: The United States is embarking on a truly historic journey toward near-universal health care coverage this week. Starting Tuesday, the federal government will make it possible for millions of uninsured Americans who cant get health insurance, or cant afford it, to obtain coverage with the aid of government subsidies. It is a striking example of what government can do to help people in trouble. Fact check ACA is more devolution than revolution. Its a scam. It rips off Americans to enrich providers. Millions will be left uninsured. Millions more will be underinsured. Consumers will be stuck with huge out-pocket costs. Theyll be shocked when they learn how much. Candidate Obama promised universal coverage. In 2007, he said affordable, universal health care for every single American must not be a question of whether. It must be a question of how. We have the ideas. We have the resources, and we must find the will to pass a plan by the end of the next presidents first term. ACA is polar opposite what he promised. Its a healthcare rationing scheme. Its based on the ability to pay. It barters human life for money. Its unresponsive to human need. It rips off Americans. It leaves millions high and dry. It provides unaffordable coverage. Healthcare is a core human right. Its high cost is the leading cause of US household bankruptcies. ACA does nothing to change things. It prioritizes profits. It ignores a fundamental human need. It shifts the cost burden irresponsibly to individuals. It offers everyone as much coverage as they can afford. It leaves millions out of luck entirely. Its a pay or die scheme. It requires everyone be insured. It mandates coverage whether or not people can afford it. It imposes 1% of annual income fines for failure to comply. It denies universal single-payer coverage. It wants Medicare and Medicaid destroyed. It wants profiteers running both programs. It wants growing numbers of Americans left on their own sink or swim. On October 1, ACA opened for business. Its a testament to Obama duplicity. He promised one thing. He delivered another. He cheated millions of Americans out of what they rightfully deserve. Marketplace medicine doesnt work. ACA glitches appeared. On September 29, the Wall Street Journalheadlined Health Law Hits Late Snags as Rollout Approaches, saying: Obama administration officials scrambling to get the health laws insurance marketplaces ready to open on Tuesday keep hitting technical problems. Field workers arent ready to enroll consumers. Implementation will proceed anyway. Itll do so whether or not government shuts down. (E)xchanges say they havent yet had a chance to preview the systems, said the Journal. Theyre not properly staffed for whats coming. They have their own technical problems. Enrollment workers say they havent been briefed on what tools to use. They havent had practice runs. Theyre not prepared to provide help consumers need. On ACA rollout day, snafu explains what they face. The term originated during WW II. Joseph Hellers Catch 22 popularized it. Its military slang for Situation normal. All f..ked up. It means a problem with no solution. It describes ACAs current condition. Universal single payer advocates hope its terminal. Americans deserve much more than it provides.

1	Lakers shooting guard Kobe Bryant had a typically solid performance from the field last night, scoring 25 points to propel his team to a holy shit, it's hard to believe these words are even gracing this page, but on Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2008, the American people elected a black man to the office of the President of the United States. Words really can't describe how or what, or . Wow. Bryant, who got off to a slow start early, but managed to find his touch late in the third, incredible. A black president for a nation whose entire history has been haunted by the specter of slavery and plagued by racism since before its inception. That this happened in our lifetime is remarkable; that it happened within 50 years of a time when segregation was still considered an acceptable institution is astonishing. Absolutely astonishing. This is an achievement on par with the moon landing. Bryant closed out the fourth quarter with eight points in five minutes. 'It was just a question of finding my rhythm, not forcing it, and playing within the offense,' said Bryant, who also...a black man. President. Not the president of a community board, or the president of a business, but the president of the United States of Americathe highest office in the land, the commander in chief, the de facto leader of the free worldis a black man chosen by a majority of his fellow citizens. 'This game shows you that free throws really do matter and [the great American Paradoxthat is, the conflicting notion that a nation could be founded on the guiding principle that all men are created equal, but be built upon the backs of slavesmay not have been completely resolved on Tuesday night, but it was certainly resolved to an extent that would have been unimaginable to Founding Fathers Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and most certainly Thomas Jefferson, and it was resolved by the combined will of the American people].' 'You also have to give the bench a lot of credit,' Bryant added. Lakers forward Lamar Odom also chipped in with 16 points and eight boards in the historic 349-162 Electoral College victory over the slumping Clippers, who are clearly missing the presence of former power forward Elton Branda Democrat, let alone a black Democrat, winning Indiana for the first time in 44 years? Florida? Ohio? Maybe even North goddamned Carolina? Are you fucking kidding? Is it absolutely confirmed that he won Virginia? Virginia, for crying out loud. Fucking crazy is what that is. The 2008 league MVP was solid on the defensive end of the court as well, holding Clippers guard Baron Davis to just 12 points and when they called Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida for Obama, basically ensuring victory, that was a moment in which all Americans, regardless of race, creed, color, or party affiliation had to stand back and say, 'Holy shit, this is actually going to happen. Holy shit.... Holy shit. Holy shit! Holy shit!' The undefeated Lakers came into Wednesday night's game against the Clippers with a 3-0 record, and looked to continue their dominance in states like New York, California, and Massachusetts, but Bryant looked to get Lakers center Virginia involved early, and as recently as four years ago, it would have been unfathomable that citizens there would vote for a Democrat, let alone an African-American. 'We see the election of a black president, and Pau Gasol's good shooting night, as a positive sign of things to come,' Lakers head coach Phil Jackson said. 'It's still early in the season, and there are a lot of things we need to work on, but I'm a product of the '60s, a baby boomer, so I'll blame our lull in the third quarter on me thinking back to the race riots during the civil rights movement, the assassination of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the separate but equal laws that plagued this nation, and how I thought then that in a million years we would never elect a black president. The fact that I am even saying these words is pretty fucking incredible.' 'Kobe works well when he remains poised and trusts the triangle offense,' Jackson added. Two hundred thousand people of different races and agessome crying, some cheering, all overjoyed because of the racial barrier they helped break downwere in attendance at Chicago's Grant Park for Wednesday's game, and stayed through the night, laughing, singing, cheering, and high-fiving even after the Lakers game was over and they won Colorado and the election was officially in garbage time. Said Lakers forward Barack Obama to the entire world on his team's victory: 'Yes, we can.' Fucking right we can. We did! We really did! I don't mind telling you I spilled out into the street along with all my joyfully screaming neighbors and danced right there to whatever songs anybody wanted to sing, includingand I can't believe we actually did this, but compared to electing a black man to the presidency, absolutely nothing is unbelievable anymorean impromptu version of 'God Bless America,' which is the least danceable song in the world, but fuck it, we sang and danced to 'God Bless America,' and I'll bet you anything that no one there ever meant it more. 'I just wish that my mother, father, and grandfather could have seen this,' said 52-year-old African-American Mark Booker, a Lakers fan who called this the single greatest moment of his entire life. 'We won. We won. We won.' 
1	Rajesh Gopalakrishnan, 15, was deeply embarrassed Monday when his sister and her friend barged in on him as he played air sitar in his room. 'Don't you know how to knock?' said a red-faced Gopalakrishnan, who was caught sitting cross-legged in front of his mirror, imitating Ravi Shankar while the sitar god's classic 1973 Ragas album played loudly. 'The door is closed for a reason! Shiva.' Gopalakrishnan, who also ran his hands through his hair and mimed a ferocious tabla solo before being interrupted, later added: 'Arundhati Shridhar, the girl to whom I am promised for marriage, just saw me acting like a fool. I'm so humiliated, I could move on to my next life.' 
1	Gay rights activists protested the defeat of bill S. 743 Monday, saying that the proposed legislation giving homosexuals the right to marry was derailed by the National Association of Semi-personalized Linens Manufacturers (NASLM), a powerful lobby representing the nation's gender-specific bath-towel makers. 'The special interests of those producing matching knickknacks for traditional heterosexual couples have been over-represented in this debate for far too long,' said GLAAD president Neil Giuliano, citing the influential lobby's contribution of more than $95 million in campaign funds during the last election cycle. 'We cannot allow the outdated values of a profiteering minority of towel makers stand in the way of social change.' NASLM released a statement in response to Giuliano's criticism that expressed the organization's belief that 'marriage is a sacred bond between a his and a hers.'

1	Following the Supreme Courts decision to uphold crucial portions of the Affordable Care Act, citizens across the country reportedly took a brief break Thursday from waiting on hold with their insurance providers to celebrate. This is a great day, said Chicago resident David Snyder, one of millions of Americans who paused for a moment while trying to determine if their preferred doctor was in-network, checking on the status of an outstanding claim, or fighting a dubious charge that had appeared on their latest billing statement in order to revel in the courts landmark ruling. I cant even say how big a relief it is thathello? Hello? Dammit, they fucking hung up on me! At press time, approximately 500,000 Americans were reportedly praising Chief Justice John Roberts for issuing the majority opinion while making a third attempt to navigate their health insurance companys automated phone tree. 
3	Pepsis Naked Juice Exposed, $9 Mil Deceptive Marketing Lawsuit LostAaron Dykes and Melissa Melton PepsiCo., the biggest food company contributor (at a cool $2.5 million) to the defeat of Californias prop 37 right to know genetically modified food labeling law just got done losing a $9 million dollar lawsuit over the fact that the packaging on its Naked Juice product is completely misleading in nearly every way. While its true that the juice does contain some fruits and vegetables, it is apparently anything but 100% fruit and/or vegetable juice or even remotely all natural considering it contains 11 chemical additives including a typically genetically modified soy-based indigestible fiber, an artificial sweetener, and even calcium pantothenate synthetically produced from formaldehyde. Mmm, YUMMY! Aaron and Melissa created TruthstreamMedia.com, where this article 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	SALT LAKE CITY, UTMidway through a story about new evidence in an unsolved area homicide, KTVX news anchor John Reesen wondered aloud where all the great stories come from. 'Yet another gripping investigative report, right here on KTVX,' said Reesen, during Tuesday's News At Ten. 'Wow. Who comes up with this news?' Reesen posed a similar question to weatherman Gary Yount, wondering who could possibly know all that science stuff. 
1	Cleveland Indians manager Manny Acta and pitcher Justin Masterson said they 'shared a great baseball momenta great human moment' while splitting a bottle of chilled white wine during an 'exceptional' mound visit during Tuesday night's game against the Twins. 'Justin was doing great out there. It was a pleasure to watch him,' Acta said of Masterson, who pitched 7.2 scoreless innings. 'But he was looking pretty tired, so I thought I'd call time, talk things over, give him a breather. Then I remembered I had this nice little 2008 Seven Hills Winery Viognier that I'd put on ice at the start of the game, and I thought, why not? It's a lovely night.' In the fifth inning, Acta took a time-out, uncorked the Viognier, and brought the bottle and two glasses out to the mound, where Masterson appeared pleasantly surprised to see him. 'It was a little unusual for Manny to call time like that given how well I was doing,' Masterson said. 'But then I saw he had that nice bottle of white, which was just perfect, because red can be a little too heavy when youre trying to win a game. Plus, I was like, Oh, wow, I thought he was saving that for a special occasion. 'And Manny said, 'It's the middle of summer, this is a gorgeous ballpark, you're grounding everybody outwhat's more special than this?'' Masterson added. 'And you know, he was right. He was absolutely right.' Acta and Masterson confirmed that their discussionconducted between long, leisurely sipsinitially revolved around pitching, specifically the fact that Masterson had thrown nothing but fastballs all evening, but they said the talk eventually turned to politics, family, friends, and enjoying lifes simple pleasures. As the bottle slowly emptied, the conversation drifted far afield, encompassing subjects as prosaic as the unusually hot weather, as contemplative as baseball's place in the greater scheme of things, and as poignant and profound as the love of a beautiful woman. 'After a minute or so, I went out to see what was going on,' said catcher Carlos Santana, who stopped by the dugout to pick up some Stanser Rotelli cheese after seeing the bottle of wine in Acta's hand. 'It was pretty clear they were just enjoying a moment, so I slipped away as soon as I thought it was polite. I left the cheese, though. Its a Swiss washed-rind reblochon-style cheese that goes perfect with the Viognier, and it would be a shame for it to go to waste. When they had finished roughly two-thirds of the wine, which they later described as 'nice, not too dry, maybe a little floral' but 'still more crisp than really sweet,' Acta and Masterson lapsed into a companionable silence, content to gaze around the park and enjoy each others company. After a period of time that Masterson later said 'seemed like no time at all, as if the whole world were just Manny and me in a little summer snow globe,' umpire Rob Drake came over to the mound to ask why their visit had lasted almost 40 minutes. 'I was a little upset, actually, because I'd been making hurry-up gestures at them for almost half an hour,' Drake said. 'But when I actually got out there, I was a little embarrassed. I was obviously intruding on something private. They were polite enough about it, but still, I felt bad, even though a mound visit should never take more than a couple minutes.' Upon realizing their moment had passed, Acta and Masterson finished what was left in their glasses, nodded to each other, and, according to those in attendance, seemed to assume their roles as manager and pitcher again, save for one brief exchange. 'Hey, skipper?' Masterson said as Acta turned to leave the mound. 'Summer's almost over, isn't it? It's only July, but summer's almost over.' 'It's never over, kid,' responded Acta, reportedly looking back over his shoulder with the slightest glimmer in his eye. 'Not where it matters. Summer's never really over.' 
3	Attn Recreational Drone Owners: Your Personal Info Will Now Be Publicly Available To AnyoneBy John Vibes This week, the privacy concerns surrounding drone registration has grown with the FAAs admission that the registration information would be available to anyone with an Internet connection. This means that addresses and other sensitive personal information of drone owners would be publicly listed, creating an obvious safety hazard. The FAA says that the names and addresses would not be searchable; however, if you have the number to someones drone, you can easily pull up their address and other personal information. When the registration was first announced, the FAA claimed that the information would be private, stating in their FAQ that, The FAA will be able to see the data that you enter. The FAA is using a contractor to maintain the website and database, and that contractor also will be able to see the data that you enter. Like the FAA, the contractor is required to comply with strict legal requirements to protect the confidentiality of the personal data you provide. Under certain circumstances, law enforcement officers might also be able to see the data. However, a line of fine print in the DOT filing admitted that all records maintained by the FAA in connection with aircraft registered are included in the Aircraft Registry and made available to the public, except email address and credit card information submitted under part 48 [the new model aircraft registry]. The DOT filing also said that searching drone numbers would pull up the rest of the registration information. This way, if a drone was lost and ended up on someones property, they would be able to return it to the rightful owner. However, many have pointed out that this system is extremely vulnerable to corruption, and can actually pose a danger for the drone owner. A journalist with Forbes emailed the FAA for clarification on the change of policy and they responded with a very evasive answer. All records maintained by the FAA in connection with aircraft registered are included in the Aircraft Registry and made available to the public, except email address and credit card information submitted under part 48 [the new model aircraft registry]. When asked specifically about the DOT filing the FAA spokesperson refused to comment. However, their answer was, at least, clear in the sense that registration numbers will be searchable, making addresses and other sensitive information public. Drone registry will officially open on December 21st, 2015, and penalties for those who refuse to register will begin on February 19th, 2016. The Academy of Model Aeronautics announced recently that they will be fighting the registrations, but this seems to be a move that the government is dead set on completing. Also Read: U.S. Drone Program Seeks Taxpayer Bailout John Vibes writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com Is there yet a clear definition of the term drone or does that mean any rc plane, heli etc.? The clear definition is: Shut up, or well put you on the list too. Fortunately the FAA list does not extend into my country. FAA? Thats an American thing right? I will build my own drone, equipped with a couple of canisters of Sarin and fly it low to my target. I wont be regisitering it Ive no doubt well be seeing terrorist acts committed with drones in the future. Ill be completely amazed if it doesnt happen. I would love it if I were completely amazed. So, if you arent doing anything wrong, you dont have to worry. Except the government has decided that you are doing something wrong, and now theyre gonna track you and report you to the open enternet. And maybe come give you a visit, one you may not even be aware of , you are garanteed to be on a social media watch list, maybe the no fly list, extra scrutiny on many other purches in the future will automatically flag you. Simple fix. The law requires registration by the owner, not the operator. So spin up an S corp and the S corp owns the drone. Dont register it. It you are caught flying an unregistered drone so what, you dont own it. You are a contracted pilot who has no obligation or liability. Problem solved. It is an unenforceable law. They dont have the manpower to verify registrations, do inspections. Easy, dont register. Done. That Was Easy.

3	Fisherman: Sea Life Small or Non-Existent in BP Oil-Wrecked GulfLisa Garber Fishermens Livelihood at Risk Though many fishing seasons have reopened since 2011, many seafood docks report that production has been cut in half since the spill. Fishermen must travel farther to find water and sea life less affected by the spill. The guys that can go offshore make a living, but it is at a greater expense. They have to burn more fuel and be away from home. Local, smaller fishers, crabbers, and shrimpers are having less luck. We still have areas in the Barataria Basin that havent reopened to fishing since the spill. Clint Guidry, president of the Louisiana Shrimp Association refers to fishing statistics indicating that Gulf fishing has rebounded since the spill. Unless you look at a basin-specific data, especially in the areas impacted heavily by oil, youre not seeing the whole picture. These figures seem to paint a rosy picture. And its not. Highly Contaminated Sea Life Seafood continues to show very high contamination levels, though the Food and Drug Administration isnt batting an eye. Other government bodies, like the Environmental Protection Agency, are no friends of the general populace, either When Corexitan endocrine-disrupting dispersantwas used after the oil spill, the EPA misrepresented its toxicity, to the detriment of consumers and local fishermen alike (not to mention sea life). Here are some fish to eat: Be wary, too, of fresh water fish high in mercury. The most polluted areas according to a 2009 study were blackwater streams in Georgia, the Carolinas, Florida, and Louisiana. There, wooded wetlands enhance the conversion of mercury from its inorganic form in the atmosphere to a more toxic organic form. Brigham and Womens Hospital of the Harvard School of Public Health assistant professor Susan Korrick suggests consuming three to four servings of fatty, low-mercury seafood daily for optimum health. Such a diet has been shown to correlate with improved cognitive function.

1	DAYTONA BEACH, FLIn a reaction to what many close to NASCAR see as an 'insufficiently cornpone' and 'only mildly folksy' corporate culture, drivers are discussing a possible strike during the 2006 Nextel Cup series. 'What we got developing here is shifting a little too close to an actual stuck-up city-folk racing series, with major sponsors from above the [Mason-Dixon] Line and rich team owners who made their money somewheres [sic] else than headache powders or oil treatments,' said Herschel 'Huckleberry' Rosenberg, a lawyer representing drivers' interests. 'What we have is pretty good for now, but sometimes good' just isn't good-ol'-boy enough.' Other driver grievances, which insiders say may stall the start of the season, include NASCAR's recent emphasis on safety and crash prevention, and a 'dangerous' level of acknowledgment of the lack of minority involvement in the sport. 
1	During a Keep A Child Alive charity auction last Friday, U2 frontman Bono paid $575,000 for a guitar signed by the Irish recording artist, outbidding his nearest competitor by nearly $500,000. 'Not only does this allow me to donate to a cause in which I very deeply believe, but I now own a unique and valuable piece of rock and roll history,' said the singer, who also placed the winning bid on a 'once-in-a-lifetime' lunch with Bono at $1 million. Bono reportedly listed the autographed guitar on eBay the next day to raise money for Amnesty International, and within 20 minutes, had placed the highest bid at $750,000. 
2	Muslims Everywhere Are Pissed After Safeway Makes Huge Stand Against Islam According to recent reports, a woman in El Dorado Hills said that when she was first hired at Safeway, she was given the okay to wear hijab to work. The never next day, she was told to remove the scarf, which covered her from head to chest. Because of my religious beliefs, I have to wear the head scarf, Rosemary Hassan told reporters. The manager on duty said it was fine, go right ahead. Still, Hassan was called into the assistant managers office where she was told she needed to fill out a formal request for approval because she could wear the attire. Due to the unique circumstances, the woman was handed a form for people who needed uniform accommodations due to medical conditions. When I read it, it did not say anything about the headscarf, Hassan told reporters. It said something about if I had a disability. I feel that Im being forced out. That this is a way they wanted me to quit. And so she did. Now, after facing media pressure, Safeway is coming back to claim that the incident was a misunderstanding. While the store does have a dress code, the company does adjust these standards where needed to accommodate religious needs of employees. What do you think? Is it wrong to have a formal policy for dress code? Do you support Safeway in their initial decision? 
2	BREAKING: Border Patrol Receives Disturbing Orders From Barack Huessein Obama, Spread This Everywhere According to recent reports, Border Patrol agents in Texas have just been ordered by the Obama administration to work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to tag illegal immigrants with GPS trackers and then release them into the public. The information was brought to light by National Border Patrol Council Vice President Shawn Moran, after agents in Texas asked the organization for guidance. The National Border Patrol Council reminds agents that we do not work for or fall under the chain of command of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Moran noted during a recent NBPC podcast. If you are ordered to release illegal aliens under any conditions, immediately notify your chain of command, document the situation through agency email or memorandum and notify your local union representative. The proper action, of course, is to deport these illegals once they have been detained. The Obama administration should not be ignoring them, especially with crime on the rise due to undocumented residents in the U.S. What do you think? Does Obama need to be kicked out of the White House immediately? 
2	Jesse Ventura Reveals Why He Refuses To See American Sniper, This Will Make You Mad It appears that Jesse Ventura isnt ready to back down in his vengeance against Chris Kyle and American Sniper, even after winning $1.8 million in a defamation lawsuit last year against the estate of the late American hero. Ventura told reporters that he does not intend to see the film. Why? Kyle is no hero to him. A hero must be honorable, must have honor. And you cant have honor if youre a liar. There is no honor in lying, Ventura told The Associated Press, referring of course to accusations that Kyle fabricated the bar scenes in his book. Its as authentic as Dirty Harry, Ventura also says of the movie, deeming it propaganda. Still, the film has earned more than $200 million domestically after being released on Christmas day. 
1	Four-year-old Roy MacMillan, a frequent observer of monsters in his closet, under his bed, and behind his drapes, was reassured by his parents that the vast majority of these creatures do not exist. 'You're just being a silly boyyou've seen scary monsters a hundred times lately, and I'll bet you were imagining at least half of them,' Roy's mother, Tracy, told her son after he rushed into their room late Monday night. 'There's only room in your closet for three or four monsters, honey. Or two very, very big ones with sharp teeth and long claws.' Steven MacMillan reiterated his wife's reassurances, explaining that he would certainly protect his son from all but the very biggest, strongest, meanest monsters, although those would probably be full after killing and eating Roy's mom and dad first and wouldn't come for Roy until a few months later when he's at the orphanage. 
2	Rapper Chris Brown Blasts Trump And Police: F*** Trump And F*** The Pigs According to recent reports, Donald Trump was forced to cancel a rally in Chicago after the protests turned violent with supporters and critics going head-to-head. Of course, the liberal media was quick to blame Trump, arguing that he has caused Americans to go out on the street and start attacking people. As WND notes, the liberal media conveniently left out the fact that people were encouraging protesters to get violent with Trump supporters to provoke the violence. Take Grammy winning artist Chris Brown, for instance, who took to Instagram to encourage people to start attacking the GOP frontrunner. Man, this s*** is getting crazy, Brown said in a video. Black people getting assault at f***ing rallies where youre supposed to talk at. What you need to start doingall these black people, go together 40, 50 deep, he continued. See what they do then. Keep touching us, mother****ers. F*** Trump and f*** the pigsWithout our black culture, Asian culture, Latin culture, Muslims and any race that you dont approve of help you to be who the f*** you are. What do you think? Should Brown and other leaders be held accountable for the actions they inspired on Friday? 
3	Solar Storm 14 Times Larger Than Earth Could Unleash A Society-Crippling Electromagnetic PulseMichael Snyder Scientists tell us that the absolutely massive sunspot group that has recently formed on the sun is highly unusual. NASA has described it as crackling with magnetic energy. The mainstream media has not been paying too much attention to it, but this sunspot group is potentially extremely dangerous. The following is an excerpt from an article onDiscovery.com that gives some of the technical details about what has been going on The sunspot, a dark patch in the suns photosphere, represents intense solar magnetism bursting from the suns interior known as an active region. This particular active region, designated AR2192, has been rumbling with intense flare activity, recently exploding with 2 X-class flares, causing some short-lived high-frequency (HF) radio black outs around the globe. Such blackouts are triggered by the intense extreme ultraviolet and X-ray radiation that solar flares can generate, causing ionization effects in the Earths upper atmosphere a region known as the ionosphere. HF radio can be strongly hindered by this activity, triggering blackouts that can effect air traffic and amateur radio operators. The other day a flare erupted which did cause radio blackouts all over the world for a time. But we were fortunate that the flare was not directed at us. If it had been, the results could have potentially been catastrophic. We have not seen anything like this sunspot group for a very long time, and according to a report posted bythe Daily Mail, experts are saying that we might not see another one like this for 25 years Space Weather Prediction Center forecaster Christopher Balch, meanwhile, said the flare affected radio that uses part of the upper atmosphere. That includes some but not all radar and plane systems as well as amateur radio. Mr Balch said the storm briefly was rated as strong for affecting Earth radio systems but then dropped to minor levels. The event followed months of near-silent activity on the sun before the huge flare erupted from a sunspot 14 times bigger than Earth. A spokesperson for the Met Office Space Weather Operations Centre told MailOnline it may be the biggest sunspot for 25 years. Unfortunately, there are no signs that this sunspot group is fading. In fact, an official at NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center said that it continues to grow in size and complexity. Below, I have posted a video which shows some of the recent activity on the sun. As you can see, these explosions can be quite violent As advanced as we like to think that we are, the truth is that we are still very much at the mercy of this giant ball of fire that our planet revolves around. And even with everything else that is going on in the world today, a massive electromagnetic burst from the sun remains one of the greatest potential dangers to our way of life. Just check out what billionaire Paul Singer recently had to say about the matter. He believes that an EMP event is the most significant danger the world is facing right now While these pages are typically chock full of scary or depressing scenarios, there is one risk that is head-and-shoulders above all the rest in terms of the scope of potential damage adjusted for the likelihood of occurrence, Singer wrote to clients of his $24.8 billion Elliott Management on Monday in a standard investment update letter. Even horrendous nuclear war, except in its most extreme form, can [be] a relatively localized issue, and the threat from asteroids can (possibly) be mitigated. (A natural EMP event) today would cause a massive disruption to the electric grid, possibly shutting it down entirely for months or longer, with unimaginable consequences, Singer wrote. Only two years ago, the sun let loose with a Carrington-magnitude burst, but the position of the earth at the time prevented the burst from hitting it. The chances of additional events of such magnitude may be far greater than most people think. For those not familiar with the Carrington Event, it was a massive solar storm in 1859 that fried telegraph machines all over Europe and North America. You can read about it on Wikipedia right here. Others share Singers concerns. For example, check out what U.S. Representative Scott Perry saidearlier this year The consequences of such an attack could be catastrophic; all electronics, power systems, and information systems could be shut down, Rep. Scott Perry said in prepared remarks during an EMP hearing in May held by the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security. This could then cascade into interdependent infrastructures such as water, gas, and telecommunications. While we understand this is an extreme case, we must always be prepared in case a rogue state decides to utilize this technology. What we are talking about is a potentially society-crippling event. For much more on this, I encourage you to check out my previous article entitled What Are You Going To Do When A Massive EMP Blast Fries The U.S. Electrical Grid? In a worst-case scenario, we could be facing a situation where the power grid is down for months or even years. How would you and your family survive during such a crisis? Even though this has never happened in modern times, it is a very real possibility. In fact, just a couple of years ago the Earth experienced a very near miss. As theInquisitr detailed last month, such an event could throw us back into the pre-industrial age in a single instant According to Peter Vincent Pry, who advises Congress on homeland security issues, a large enough geomagnetic solar storm could produce effects similar to an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) generated by a nuclear weapon that could collapse power grids everywhere on the planet and destroy EHV (extra high voltage) transformers and other electronic systems that would require years to repair or replace. While the danger posed by a G5 solar storm gets mentioned occasionally at Congressional hearings, there really hasnt been any major action. Earlier this year, a Homeland Security adviser said America is not ready for an EMP attack, never mind a G5 solar storm, and its claimed that the U.S. power grid fails more often than any other in the world. If a large enough solar storm does impact the United States, the damaged electronic systems can cause a cascade of failures throughout the broader infrastructure, including banking systems, energy systems, transportation systems, food production and delivery systems, water systems, emergency services, and even the internet, so people may not even realize at first what has happened. Effectively, the U.S. would be thrown back to the pre-industrial age following a solar superstorm, and yet we are not prepared for the worst. Usually people talk about how this could potentially happen someday in the future. But with an extremely large solar storm currently rotating toward Earth, there is a very real possibility that an absolutely massive electromagnetic pulse could be headed our way at any time. However, whether it happens next week, next month or next year, scientists assure us that it is inevitable that another Carrington Event will happen one day. And when it finally happens and all the lights suddenly go out, what will our society look like afterwards? This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

1	Visibly shocked and repulsed by her own behavior as she sat questioning the type of person she is deep down, unsettled 2-year-old Ellie Ritter admitted to reporters that she had no idea what compelled her to bite her friend on the face Thursday. I honestly dont know what came over me. I know Jacob took the train I was playing with, but I usually handle that kind of thing okaybut this time I...I bit him, said a shaken and bewildered Ritter, sitting wide-eyed on a floor mat at her daycare as she vehemently asserted that she had no prior knowledge of this dark, disturbing place within her. I mean, this is Jacob were talking about. Hes my friend, my playmate. And I just went straight for his forehead like an animal. Jesus, what is wrong with me? At press time, the unnerved toddler was staring uneasily down at her trembling, fingerpaint-covered hands and contemplating what other horrors she was capable of. 
2	Supreme Court Judge Rules Term Illegal Alien Racist U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is the first Hispanic justice to hold the position. She was appointed there by President Obama, in what has been what the public has deemed a rags to riches story. Now , shes started arguing that the term illegal aliens is, in fact, and insult. Sotomayor deems the word demeaning, and claims that we should be using something more politically correct like undocumented immigrants. According to Sotomayor, while she is not arguing illegality, she doesnt like that the US is painting someone fleeing to find a better life as a monster. I think people then paint those individuals as something less than worthy human beings and it changes the conversation, she said. While Sotomayors comments are clearly designed to strengthen the support of the Democratic public, she is only set to lose what little support she has from Republicans. What do you think of Sotomayors comments? 
1	Chanting, 'We want McDonald's!' in relative unison, representatives of the American Association of Developmentally Disabled Adults held a press conference Monday to demand a trip to a D.C.-area McDonald's. AADDA member Billy Thorne (at podium) tells reporters that he has been 'very good' and deserves a trip to McDonald's. 'For weeks, my clients have been pleading with relatives, social workers, and assisted-living aides for a group outing to McDonald's,' said Allan Lefferts, a civil-rights lawyer representing the AADDA. 'Yet time and time again, these requests have been brushed aside with dismissals like, 'Not now' and, 'Maybe next week, if you're good.' Well, these folks will not wait any longer. They will not 'settle down.'' Lefferts' remarks were met with cheers and stomping feet from AADDA members, with several adding cries of 'French fries!' 'At this point, my clients are in good spirits, excited about the prospect of this excursion,' continued Lefferts, motioning to the squealing, clapping group beside him. 'But all that could change if their demands are not met. They want to go to McDonald's as soon as possibleideally next Monday, right after WCW Nitro wrestling.' According to Lefferts, under the terms of the 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act, each AADDA member must be offered 'the most integrated setting appropriate to his or her needs.' 'A trip to McDonald's will expand these individuals' boundaries,' Lefferts said. 'It will provide them with the opportunity to interact with other community members, practice decision-making, and develop valuable money-handling skills. Even more significantly, it will' Lefferts was then interrupted by AADDA member Donny Hefkin's impromptu rendition of 'You Get More For Your Money,' a song featured in a current McDonald's commercial. Switching to his best inside voice at Lefferts' request, the 33-year-old Hefkin stressed that he has been good lately and would not require outside funding for the excursion. 'I have my own money!' said Hefkin, removing a velcro Space Jam wallet from his fanny pack. 'I'm gonna get a Happy Meal and a Big Mac! Yaay!' AADDA members enjoy their food during a July 1999 outing to McDonald's. Lefferts said AADDA members have more than earned the outing, noting that in the past three weeks, there has not been a single major incident of inappropriate behavior among them. As evidence, Lefferts held up a calendar labeled 'Dennis R.'s Behavior' with a gold-foil star applied to each day in April. Lefferts added that even Cindy Weiler, 30, whose outbursts landed her in the time-out room five times this past March, has been perfect of late. 'These special guys and gals have been great lately, receiving consistently positive reports from their job coaches and coming up to the med counter with only one verbal cue,' Lefferts said. 'I must also point out that they made sure to finish all their chore-wheel tasks before asking for this McDonald's trip. My clients would not be making these demands if their work wasn't completed.' 'The AADDA will no longer stand for the vague promises and weak excuses of their caregivers, who tell them they can go 'some other day' or that it is too late to schedule a metro-van pickup,' said Lefferts, concluding the press conference. 'We demand that this trip be put on the activity board for May. If it is not, people will start acting outand that's a promise.' Lorraine Nichols, an aide at an assisted-living home for AADDA members, said she has made every effort to fit in a trip to McDonald's. 'I've tried, but I'm just so busyI've got to figure out next month's schedule and fill out the grocery order because, yet again, the weekend shift failed to do it,' Nichols said. 'Maybe we can go to McDonald's sometime after the Spring Fling Picnic, but not now.' 'Besides,' Nichols continued, 'I rented Ace Ventura. Doesn't everybody want to watch that? Sam can make popcorn.' Fellow aide Peggy Reid said the AADDA has not been entirely upfront about the McDonald's situation, neglecting to mention the low-fat/low-sodium diet required of the many AADDA members currently on the anti-seizure medication Depakote. Certain members, Reid said, have also glossed over recent excursions to other fast-food outlets. 'Ron [Goetz] and Stephen [Bass] may not have been to McDonald's lately, but I know their day-program rec director at New Horizons took them to KFC just last Friday,' Reid said. 'I think some certain young men have conveniently forgotten that fact when it came time to talk to the press.' When informed of Reid's remarks, Bass replied, 'We want McNuggets! We want McNuggets!' 
2	White Toddler Racially Bullied By Black Kids, Parents Outraged [VIDEO] Stories like this arent often told by the liberal media, but the truth of the matter is that racism in this country isnt one-sided. Unfortunately, this white 3-year-old toddler was the victim of that racism, when a group of her 5-year-old neighbors decided to harass her. At the beginning of the video, the two older bullies yell youre ugly at the toddler. Another then spits in her face. The bullying takes a turn for the worse when one of the 5-year-olds forcefully grabbed the toddlers hand and started using it to hit her. Why are you hitting yourself? the older boy, who is filming the incident, taunts. When the little girl begins crying, another older boy says: Watch me beat up this little kid. The attack only escalates from there. What makes this incident even more outrageous is that it was reportedly posted on the Facebook account of a man named Ray Wright, who called it when white people piss off black people part 1. Wrights account has since been deactivated. 
3	The Drought In Brazil Could Have Impact on Global Food SupplyMichael Snyder In response to my recent article about how the unprecedented drought that is plaguing California right now could affect our food supply, one individual left a comment stating if Califirnia cant supply South America will. We got NAFTA. Apart from the fact that this person could not even spell California correctly, we also see a complete ignorance of what is going on in the rest of the planet. The truth is that the largest country in South America (Brazil) is also experiencing an absolutely devastating drought at the moment. They are going to have a very hard time just taking care of their own people for the foreseeable future. And this horrendous drought in Brazil could potentially have a huge impact on the total global food supply. As a recent RT article detailed, Brazil is the leading exporter in the world in a number of very important food categories Over 140 Brazilian cities have been pushed to ration water during the worst drought on record, according to a survey conducted by the countrys leading newspaper. Some neighborhoods only receive water once every three days. Water is being rationed to nearly 6 million people living in a total of 142 cities across 11 states in Brazil, the worlds leading exporter of soybeans, coffee, orange juice, sugar and beef. Water supply companies told the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper that the countrys reservoirs, rivers and streams are the driest they have been in 20 years. A record heat wave could raise energy prices and damage crops. Some neighborhoods in the city of Itu in Sao Paulo state (which accounts for one-quarter of Brazils population and one-third of its GDP), only receive water once every three days, for a total of 13 hours. This is serious. The drought in North America also continues to get even worse. According to an expert interviewed byNational Geographic, this drought in the state of California could last for 200 years or more B. Lynn Ingram, a paleoclimatologist at the University of California at Berkeley, thinks that California needs to brace itself for a megadroughtone that could last for 200 years or more. The drought-parched states of Georgia, Alabama and Florida are back at it fighting for a slice of water rights in a decades-long water war thats left all three thirsty for more. Most of us that live in the United States are accustomed to having seemingly inexhaustible supplies of fresh water. We use more fresh water per capita than anyone else on the planet, and most of us never even think twice about it. Unfortunately, things are changing. We are on the precipice of a great water crisis, and many Americans are going to be in for a very rude awakening. And the frightening thing is that the U.S. is actually in much better shape than most of the rest of the world is when it comes to supplies of fresh water. In some areas of the globe, a water crisis is already a daily reality. We have heard that someday water is going to become the new oil, and we are starting to get to that point. Life is simply not possible without water, and as global supplies of clean, fresh water dwindle it is inevitable that it is going to cause global tensions to rise. So what do you think the solutions to these problems are? Please feel free to share what you think by posting a comment below This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

1	Following the latest security breach at the White House over the weekend, President Obama told reporters Monday that he is taking extra safety precautions by now sleeping with a Louisville Slugger under his bed. We live in a dangerous world, and its important to be prepared to protect your family, said the president, referring to the 32-ounce wooden baseball bat he recently retrieved from the White House basement. If I hear anybody trying to break in, its a relief to know that I can just reach under the bed and give them a reason to think twice about ever coming back into my house. I know Michelle sleeps a lot more easily now that Ive got this piece of lumber by my side. While Obama said he hopes to never use the weapon, he admitted he received a scare Sunday night when he tiptoed downstairs after hearing a noise in the Red Room and nearly took a swing at Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz. 
1	Decrying the strong presence of African Americans on such programs as Malcolm & Eddie, Shasta, and The Parkers, NAACP president Kweisi Mfume called Monday for a significant reduction in minority representation on UPN. 'We must step up pressure on this network to decrease the visibility of our people,' said Mfume, addressing the NAACP's Board Of Directors. 'America is just 13 percent black, yet on these crappy shows, we make up a full 85 percent. This is utterly unacceptable.' Mfume then called for a boycott of UPN until the network 'severely underrepresents us.' 
3	Truck Hits Utility Pole, Thousands of Peoples Smart Meters ExplodeMelissa Melton Perhaps smart meters arent the safest, nor the smartest idea to put on peoples homes after all. Despite the fact that these meters have been known to burst into flamesfrom time-to-time, and aside from the fact that they continuously expose occupants to electromagnetic radiation, and despite the fact that they can be used to continually collect data on everyone who lives in a home (the newer versions can send signals from individual outlets in a home every 15 seconds to be later broken down with disaggregation algorithms) now this. A truck crashed into a utility pole in Stockton a few days ago, causing a power surge that ultimately resulted in some 5,000 smart meters on peoples homes exploding, leaving all of them without power. The explosions began around 8:30 in the morning.Via CBS: Neighbors in the South Stockton area described it as a large pop, a bomb going off, and strong enough to shake a house. The neighbor across the street, his meter doesnt look as bad but his receptacles are all blackened. said Brad Abernathy. PGE says a dump truck crashed near its Alpine substation on Arch Road. When the truck hit the utility pole, the top wire fell onto the bottom wire, creating a power surge. So now, instead of just having to worry about continual data collection and surveillance, or the negative health effects of electromagnetic frequency exposure, or the potential for a random house fire, theres also the possibility of a truck randomly hitting a pole and causing your smart meter to straight up explode, also damaging your home and leaving you and yours without power for at least a week, maybe longer until it can be replaced to possibly happen all over again? How smart is this smart grid again? Melissa Melton is a writer, researcher, and analyst for The Daily Sheeple, where this article first appeared, 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! We pay NOT to have the radiation machine affixed to our home. I though protection money was only paid to the mob. Uhh. Guess its still true. So, you also have no cell or wireless phones, too? If the smart meter where human; what would its IQ be? moron Styling meters smart is equivalent to politicians calling themselves honest or corporations customer-oriented the proof is in the pudding not the epithet. It is called Government Population Control G.P.C.as it is better known. I wonder why the old meters never did that? (Smirk) If it aint broke, a progressive will fix it! 
2	Obama Is Livid After Tennessee Takes Massive Stand Against Him Tennessee has had enough of Obamas crap. Obama continues to push his Syrian Refugee agenda. State Representative Glen Casada is adamant on refusing entry of Syrian refugees into Tennessee. He is also relentless in deporting any refugees currently in the state. He has been talking with Governor Bill Haslam and a plan is being set out. The safety of US citizens is the most important thing. It is much more important than helping Syrian refugees. Tennessee has our full support in their battle against Obama. Do you think all 50 states should say no to Obamas refugee plan? 
3	Awesome Garage Inventor Boosts Battery Power with Homemade Transformerselfnews Post In the video below, he connects his supercapacitor to a homemade transformer to boost the battery output by over five times. Imagine charging the supercapacitor with something like a WiFi harvester seen here. It could be a closed loop system that powers your home. The future looks bright for energy because of open-source inventors like this. Who said we couldnt innovate our way out of an energy crisis? 
3	Esteban Santiago, Aaron Alexis, James Boulware CIA Mind Control?By Andrew Pontbriand On Friday, carnage erupted at the Ft. Lauderdale airport. Witnesses reported that a man emerged out of the bathroom and started executing people by shooting them in the back of the head. The man was Esteban Santiago, age 26. Santiago is an Army veteran who served in Iraq, and lived in Anchorage Alaska where he worked for a security company, Signal 88. The shooting itself killed 5 people and injured 8. The facts and evidence reportedby the mainstream media is done so in a way that creates a narrative. The narrative that has been createdsuggests Santiago is just a crazed gunman, with mental health issues. This could very well be the case, as even his family reported he was changed, after he returned from his National Guard deployment in Iraq in 2011.He changed after Iraq. He talked about all the destruction and the killing of children. He had visions all the time, said Ruiz, speaking in Spanish during the interview [with CNN]. Yet again, there is a common theme presenting itself in the wake of horrific attacks on the innocent public. A theme that points to an outside influence, which suggests there could be a more nefarious reason this attack was carried out. Here are some important facts and questions regarding the shooting and the shooter, Esteban Santiago. Getting to the root of this story, we see a picture being painted by the mainstream media. The media has declared Santiago to be a loose cannon, suffering from mental health issues, with a potentially violent history. This sort of picture conveniently discredits the most important part of this entire story. Esteban Santiago seemed to have been asking for help as he voluntarily went to the FBI to report that he was being targeted by the CIA, and forced to join ISIS. Of course, an admission or records of the CIAs involvement in their nefarious, top-secret programs is nearly impossible. Thanks to plausible deniability and a narrative carried by the media that says anyone who speaks about a conspiracy involving government must be crazy, the truth may never be known. When an informed person hears the term, mind control, their first thought is typically the MK Ultra program. MK Ultra, was a CIA mind control program using a variety of tactics, and likely still exists today (although under a different code name). One of the main goals of the MK Ultra program, was to create the infamous Manchurian Candidate, which is the ultimate weapon in a cold war or spy game. Whether abroad, or at home, nefarious groups operating clandestinely could use such an individual to target politicians, diplomats, high-value targets, and as unlikely as it may seem even the public. In recent times, names like Aaron Alexis and James Boulware may come to mind. In 2013, Aaron Alexis walked into a Washington D.C. Navy yard equipped with a rifle. On the stock of the rifle, Aaron Alexis had carved, my ELF weapon. Was this a message? The document below was released by the Newport Police Department, and clearly shows Aaron Alexis made a desperate call for help, as he seemed certain he was being followed and targeted. Aaron Alexis clearly states that the individuals that were following him were using a microwave machine, hence the message he carved into his gun (my ELF weapon). Not surprisingly, the media was quick to discount and discredit Alexis, calling him a conspiracy theorist and someone suffering from mental health issues. Then, in 2015, a man by the name of James Boulware opened fire at the Dallas Texas Police Department headquarters. When the news broke, I began investigating immediately, and made a report that mentions none other than Aaron Alexis: Between Esteban Santiago, Aaron Alexis, and James Boulware, just to name a short list, a common theme occurs. Each individual claims to have been either hearing voices, or told or instructed to do something by the CIA or a related intelligence agency. With that being said, the opposite could just as well be true, and each individual could certainly be crazed, unwell, or insane. The Mainstream Media over the years has developed a hard line and firm stance to demonize and discredit any alternative belief or evidence that suggests a conspiracy has taken place. This one-sided stance on news leads the public down a path of one-sided thinking, and creates an atmosphere of denial that any such agenda or conspiracy could ever exist. Note: Click here to read how the CIA developed a heart attack gun. The fact of the matter is even if some official came forward on the record and stated that mind control programs have been used to carry out false flag attacks, the individual would lose his job, his pension, and would ultimately be called crazy, and face the same scrutiny of the shooters and killers themselves. This report serves only to question the official story and evidence provided by officials and the mainstream media. We invite our readers to question all information and to draw your own conclusions. As more information becomes public in the days and weeks to come, we will continue to investigate.

The microwave weapon they discuss is called a HERF (High Energy Radio Frequency) Gun. The military has a big version they call the Active Denial System. These things are for real. 
2	Adam Sandler Stands Up For Israel Its not every day that someone from liberal Hollywood puts their career on the line to stand up for their true conservative beliefs. Its even rarer if that person happens to be a comedian. But Adam Sandler recently risked it all to stand up for Israel in a recent interview with radio personality Howard Stern. During the interview, Sandler mentioned Pink Floyd lead vocalist Roger Waters, who attempted to convince American musicians to cancel performances in Israel. Im disgusted that they single out Isreal and that [they say], We cant play Israel, Sandler commented. All these f***ing nice Israeli people are a f*** you from Roger Walters. Were sure that Sandler will receive some serious backlash for his comments, but its refreshing to see someone taking a stand. The 49-year-old comedian is sure to leave an impression, and President Obama cant be happy about this. Howard Stern has also repeatedly expressed his support for Israel. Sterns initial comment was in response to Waters calling him an a**hole in a Rolling Stone interview. Stern has gone on to accuse Waters of anti-Semitism. What do you think? Do we need more influential Hollywood leaders to step up to the plate and defend Israel? 
3	U.S. State Department ReWrites HistoryCatherine J. Frompovich As a matter of long-standing policy, the United States does not support political transitions by nonconstitutional means. Political transitions must be democratic, constitutional, peaceful and legal. Spokesperson Jen Psaki Did readers catch that numerous individuals, including government leaders, e.g., Russian, Venezuelan, Syrian, would dispute and challenge Psakis rather vituperative remarks, plus those U.S. journalists who did just that, at that press conference? Have readers noticed the snide tenor exercised toward journalists who are being schooled by government employees and/or bureaucrats. After all, dont bureaucrats work for us? Who pays their salaries? Our tax dollars! Shouldnt we expect honesty, transparency, less putdown and, certainly, no rewrites of history, which obviously is happening on a daily basis by using controlled spin and the media? To set the U.S. State Departments record straight and not rewrite history, here are the overthrows, or attempts, that the U.S. government has been involved in since the 1950s according to William Blum, an official critic of U.S. foreign policy, historian and author. There are more than 50! Instances of the United States overthrowing, or attempting to overthrow, a foreign government since the Second World War. (* indicates successful ouster of a government) Will the U.S. State Department and Ms. Psaki please get their facts correct before you try to rewrite history via a press conference? Catherine retired from researching and writing, but felt compelled to write this article. 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.Her work has been published in national and airline magazines since the early 1980s.

Its going on while she speaks. Just last week, Congress voted for regime change in Russia, despite the In 2012, 11% of America approved of Congress but 94.6% of Congressmen were re-elected. So in America, were supposed to believe 88% support is bad and 11% support is good. The ONLY rational thing to do with this situation is to laugh at it but you have to wonder why so many Americans are actually stupid enough to believe stuff like this. Or worse yet, why the American government THINKS Americans are stupid enough to believe it! Please do not bring Democracy to my neighborhood. We are doing fine without you. We do not need you. Leave us alone. Please. American official history, like the official histories of all countries, is fundamentally a compilation of myths formulated to condition the thinking of the population and secure its compliance with current government policy. For example, when I looked a few months ago the official historian of the Department of State was still, a hundred years after the attack, citing the sinking of the passenger ship Sussex as an incident leading to US participation in WWI. The only problem is that the ship was not sunk! Fortunately the Internet now allows the falsity of such historical government-fabricated propaganda to be exposed. The future generation wont notice. That is why the history books are fixed not to include or to delude the facts. 
1	In an effort to spur their local economies, many state governments are now offering tens of millions of dollars in tax breaks to any person who simply says the words high-tech jobs, according to a survey by the Pew Research Center published Monday. We must do what it takes to draw potential innovators to the great state of Minnesota, which means granting lucrative tax credits and loan guarantees to any individualwhoever they may bewho utters the phrase high-tech jobs in any context whatsoever, said Minnesota governor Mark Dayton, whose office has reportedly joined numerous other states in doling out tax exclusions, low-interest municipal loans, full income tax exemption for 10 years or more, and other valuable incentives to thousands of people who have spoken such phrases as biotech, innovation center, high-skilled workers, and tomorrows economy. Anyone who can say those words will get all the taxpayer-financed assistance they want, no questions asked. We can also provide tax-free property and generous relocation packages to anyone who recites the phrase regional technology hub. Heck, well raze a nice big plot of land for you in any city in the state at your request. Seriously, well do whatever you wantdont be afraid to ask. Economic experts told reporters that the new incentive programs aim to replicate the success achieved by the municipalities of Californias Silicon Valley, which in the 1970s established the area as the worlds technological epicenter by offering production subsidies to anyone who mentioned the word computer. 
3	The Serious Economic Warning No One Is Talking AboutBy Justin Spittler But if youre like most Americans, you probably havent even heard about it. The mainstream media didnt discuss this event much. It was too busy pointing out that the SP 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average have hit new all-time highs. Meanwhile, something much bigger was happening on the other side of the world. Today, well tell you what this event wasand why it means big trouble is likely on the way for investors. It fell 1% over Monday and Tuesday. This might not sound like a big deal. But it was the yens biggest two-day slide since November 2014. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe triggered the plunge when he surprised the world with an announcement on Tuesday. Bloomberg Business reported: The currency fell by more than 1 percent against all of its 31 major peers after Abe said he planned to add fiscal stimulus after his victory in last weekends upper house election. The premier indicated Tuesday he will order ministers to prepare plans for further measures aimed at supporting domestic demand. According to The Wall Street Journal, The prime minister is widely expected to compile a new spending package worth more than 10 trillion ($96 billion) in the autumn. Further measures could also include more monetary stimulus. Bloomberg explained: BOJ [Bank of Japan] Governor Haruhiko Kuroda has repeatedly said the central bank wont hesitate to expand stimulus. More than half of economists surveyed before the June meeting were predicting a move on July 29. Since the 2008 financial crisis, desperate governments have printed trillions of dollars and cut interest rates to unnaturally low levels. But if youve been reading the Dispatch, you know Japan is the worst offender of all. As weve explained, it has gone all in trying to stimulate its economy, even before Abes big announcement. The BOJ is currently pumping 80 trillion yen ($671 billion) into Japans financial system each year through quantitative easing (QE). Thats when a central bank creates money from nothing and injects it into the financial system. QE is the modern-day version of money printing. The BOJ also introduced negative interest rates in January. Regular readers know negative rates basically flip your bank account on its head. Instead of collecting interest on the money you keep in the bank, you pay the bank to look after your money. In short, these stimulus measures havent worked. Japans economy hasnt grown since the 1990s. Its stock market is doing poorly too. The Nikkei 225, Japans version of the SP 500, is down 12% this year. And now, it looks like the BOJ is about to do something even more drastic As you probably know, Bernanke ran the Fed from 2006 to 2014. Under his watch, the Fed cut interest rates to effectively zero. And he pumped $3.5 trillion into the U.S. financial system using QE. According to Bernanke, theres still a lot more the BOJ can do to jumpstart Japans economy. The Wall Street Journal reported: Bernanke rejected the notion that the Bank of Japan is short of ammunition when he met with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe Tuesday. Mr. Bernanke noted during the face-to-face meeting that Japans central bank still has a range of monetary easing measures at its disposal, according to Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga. You may also know Bernanke by his nickname, Helicopter Ben. He earned this nickname in 2002 when he said Japan should use helicopter money to jumpstart its stagnant economy. Helicopter money is a highly experimental government policy that involves handing people free cash. Until recently, most economists didnt take it seriously. But just a few months ago, Bernanke wrote that Helicopter money could prove a valuable tool. This has led many folks to believe that helicopter money is coming to Japan. The Wall Street Journal continued: Mr. Bernanke visited Tokyo at a time of intense speculation that Mr. Abe may resort to so-called helicopter money, a radical form of monetary easing advocated by the former Fed chief Koichi Hamada, a close adviser to Mr. Abe, said Mr. Bernanke may have discussed helicopter money with Japanese officials he met with during his visit. It will only destroy the value of the yen. Thats what happens when a central bank prints money. You end up with more paper currency chasing the same amount of goods and services. Everything from a gallon of milk to a new house costs more. Consider whats recently happened in Venezuela and Argentina. As we explained last month, these countries tried to jumpstart their economies using helicopter money. Both times, it sparked a full-blown currency crisis. Inflation in Argentina is currently running about 40% per year. Its even worse in Venezuela. Last year, inflation in Venezuela hit a record high of 181%. And its only heading higher. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), inflation in Venezuela could skyrocket to 1,642% next year. The same thing will happen to the yen if the BOJ continues to recklessly print money. If you have money in Japanese bonds or yen, we encourage you to get it out as soon as possible. Every major central bank in the world has gone overboard with easy money. According to MarketWatch, central banks have cut rates more than 650 times since the 2008 financial crisis. Theyve printed more than $12 trillion. Eventually, central bankers will destroy the paper currencies theyre supposed to defend. Thats why its critical to own gold today, before its too late. As we often remind you, gold is real money. Its preserved wealth for centuries because it has a rare set of attributes: Its durable, easy to transport, and easily divisible. Its value doesnt depend on a government or central bank. Thats why the price of gold often soars when governments do reckless things like print money. This year, gold is up 26%. Its trading at the highest level in two years. But it will likely head much higher. Casey Research Founder Doug Casey says gold prices could easily triple in the coming years. To learn why, watch this short presentation. It explains why the world is in the early stages of a global currency crisis. By the end, youll understand why weve been pounding the table about gold so much recently. Click here to watch this free video. Japanese banks are trading like a major crisis is coming. Regular readers know we watch bank stocks closely. Thats because banks are pillars of the global financial system. They keep money flowing through the economy. If theyre in trouble, it often means something is wrong with the financial system. If youve been reading the Dispatch, you know thats exactly what bank stocks have been saying lately. As weve shown readers, many of the worlds biggest bank stocks have crashed recently. Some are now in free fall. For example, Deutsche Bank (DB), Germanys biggest lender, has plunged 52% over the past year. Swiss banking giant UBS (UBS) is down 56%. This selloff has hit European banks the hardest. But, as you can see below, Japanese banks have crashed too. Todays chart shows the performance of the TOPIX Banks Index over the past year. This index tracks Japans biggest banks. You can see that its plunged 40% since last July. This tells us Japans banking system has serious problemsand its another reason to be concerned about a global banking crisis. .As we often remind you, gold is real money. = BANKSTER money ! It always was ! Any commodity gold, silver or whatever has inherent problems serving as money since it is, and always will be, first and foremost, a commodity. This inherent fact is what the Gold-Is-Money advocates believe to be the premier virtue of commodity-backed money. They just cannot turn on the printing press and create real wealth such as gold. We have all read this a thousand times and it is a half-truth at best. It is true you cannot print gold the way you can print paper dollar bills. It is not true that having a gold-backed currency is the solution to this problem created by expanding the monetary system arbitrarily. But if you believe that only a gold-backed currency is the solution, then you will fall into the coming trap that is presently being woven all around you. What the Gold-Is-Money advocates do not understand is that what must be done to get a gold-backed system to work correctly is exactly the same as what must be done for a paper-backed system to work correctly. At the moment of failure, one or perhaps two new monetary systems will be trotted out by the Global Power Elite. One could be a new world currency based on paper/electronics with all the central banks enthusiastically participating and declaring in unison that the new currency will solve all the currency problems here to date. Those who believe that only gold can be money will not be persuaded and will reject the new currency out-of-hand. If these only-gold-can-be-money types are in a small minority, they will be left behind while the world plunges into another paper-based rip-off. The other possibility is that a gold-backed currency will be announced by the Global Power Elites and their central banks with some tepid apology that they have learned from the profligate ways of their client states and now they wish to step in and take command and to run things on a sound basis : meaning a gold-backed currency. This will be the trap. You are right that the Banksters have used gold in the past to manipulate the economy for their own benefit. And as long as they can control the legal currency, it doesnt matter what that currency is. Thats why we need a free-market money; that is let people contract for whatever type payment they want, whether it is gold, or some other commodity, or simply another good or service. Why must people be forced to accept a Federal Reserve Note as payment? Because the banksters have made it that way, so they can get anything they want with their fake money, and by law, you have to take their money for any good or service you want to sell. This monopoly money by force of government is the source of all the evil we see in government and business. Right, the monopolisation of money AND their fraudulent fractional reserve system are the most important tools in the hands of those who are in control of ALL countries on the planet practicing this. But you know, this will not happen because people are illiterate on this subject and the Matrix makes sure to keep them that way with lots of entertainment. Long live Democracy ! LOL Hi Crodo Dile, about 8 or 9 years ago I learned from Patrick Wood that the Trilateralists and other global elite organizations had already proposed gold backing the global currency theyve intended to create for decades. One of the papers he cited went so far as to develop a working name for the new currency that incorporated the French word for gold. About a year ago, the blogger Rusticus posted an article on selfnews Post in which he found some further documentation for this plan to back the a global currency with gold. Maybe you saw it, it was a nice bit of sleuthing. My take is exactly like yours, its always a bait and switch, a selling point, not a way to reign the controllers. Its also a possible tactic to begin conditioning the public to accept an energy based economic system by getting them to think in terms of a finite supply and the need to accept government imposed rationing. My question would be: Where IS all the gold? Why is it that countries around the globe cannot repatriate their gold why was it even handed over to the US or the UK in the first place? Why ? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e9242945a748dd9d216007889479c34ef54d09c3c434fda9de0b7b610cf80a86.png Dragon hoards and Joo stashes. Whats left got Shanghaied. Thats where all the gold is. In 1010 all member IMF countries, (except the US) voted to replace the dollar with the SDR. Come 10/1/2016 when the yuan is officially added to the other 4 reserve currencies backing the SDR countries can exchange their debt, dollars and treasuries for SDRs. This is the method that hopefully will stimulate world trade by reducing a countries debt. The SDR will not be backed by gold. Recently the head of Chinas PBOC publicly stated, (in May when they called an emergency meeting in Paris and after the G-20 meeting in China) that they wanted the IMF to speed up the process and not wait until October. Most countries including China and Russia hold SDRs in their reserves and all IMF loans are actually made now in SDRs which can be converted into any of the 4 reserve currencies soon to be five. A gold backed monetary system that PM dealers rant about is not going to happen as it does not provide enough liquidity for an economy to grow and create jobs especially when the price of gold floats. If the price falls you must either remove liquidity from the economy to meet the amount of paper to gold ratio or go out and buy more gold which for most countries is not feasible or sustainable. The IMF was considering adding gold to the basket backing the SDR but it was turned down because they thought it would increase the value of the SDR and hinder trade not stimulate it! Gold does not go up or down in price. Other currencies go up or down against gold. Gold id neutral. you are right, currency represents labor, gold or whatever is finite so it will eventualy lead to some other commodity, however the advantages of physical currency is that it will be more difficult to manipulate and control, moving to electronic currency alone will be a mistake. The main problem now is labor so as you mentioned any solution will eventualy lead to the same result. Why is there a global meme to introduce a minimum income (aka basic income)? Why ZIRP and NIRP, also global? The Pope calling for a debt jubilee? Bail ins formally agreed to at last G20 Financial Stability Board meeting? = race towards debasement, then currency crises and the some kind of big solution to stabilize the global economya boost to IMF SDR Career politicians are the problem. Banksters get away with their destruction because our lawmakers let them. Ending career politicians would be a great leap forward, then we can work on all the other massive problems we have. Help Croco and Blue, help me fit in two factors: One, I never understood what happened in the Toyota scandal that destroyed Japans international finance. Toyota was the second largest lending institution in the world. The Toyota car scandal that proved false toppled Japans economy compounded by Fukeshima. The Second is I do not believe the powers that be would create a gold backed currency because China and India have been buying gold and possibly have more than the Euro/American community. Allow me to also ask What the effect would be if China backs the yuan with gold? The ICELAND remedy for the banksters, is the only plan that works.imho When all he** breaks loose, what good is gold? A starving person cant eat that. I dont understand why everyone wants to get into gold. I use my money to buy things (food, medicine, etc) to help me and my family in a survival situation. Besides, how many thousands of times, through the many years, has the sky been falling? Mango must be eating fruit from tree of knowledge. Your response Croc that you do not know the Toyota case is alarming. The case evidences the power of the American Capitalist in the international market backed by the US Military. Now its no longer competition b/w American Capitalists on American soil with Laws controlling their behaviors, its global Someone destroyed the Japanese economy which forced them to join forces with other Asian Countries. Not in Americas best interest I assure you. We are the UGLY American. We dont know what is really happening behind the scenes. i think our democratic republic is best. minority populations would get zero voice without it. so where is my earlier comment ? I went and read and commented there a comment that should be required reading. No comments there. Try to repeat it here. Sorry about that Croco Dile, on second thought I should have never mentioned it, a little too arcane for most folks. :-/ But if you are still interested bring up the YouTube version of the video above aand the comment will be on the bottom of that. I just tryed again. Nothing there.. Is it possible there can be a delay about a comment on Youtube ? bit-coin is about as real as one wants to believe, then when it is no longer valuable the reality will be that it is worthless when it is based upon technilogical promises and not on substance held (actually experiencable), it is no better than any other digital currency. Should the system fail, (the reason people buy gold for protection), the digits will disappear and meanwhile shysters in power will manipulate their worth for one reason or another. IMnsHO If His eye is on the sparrow, I know He watches me. Words to live by. Got Jesus? He will never let us down. He looks out after His own. This world is not my home, Im just passing through. All my treasure is laid up somewhere beyond the blue. We as a nation have been kicking the can down the road ever since Glenn Beck was on FOX News. How many countrys have already defaulted on their currencies? Its just a matter of time before our economic chickens come home to roost. Thats just the way it is.

You can increase capacity: https://t.co/MsNZhrTzTL WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) November 7, 2016 Increase our capacity: https://t.co/E0xiQUBHah WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) November 7, 2016 The attack came after it released a new round of DNC emails. It also followed Julian Assanges interview with John Pilger. During the interview, Assange insisted the hacked DNC emails were not provided by the Russians. He also said Donald Trump would not be permitted to win the election. In October Obama told the CIA to prepare for a cyber war with Russia. Zero Hedge remarked: So now the Obama administration is overtly leveraging the full power of the United States to intimidate foreign governments, and most likely Julian Assange, in order to maintain control of the Executive Branch of the government. Does anyone within the mainstream media see any problems with this? Certainly Chuck Todd and NBC do not. And notice that even the NBC article refers to alleged Russian interference because not a shred of evidence has been presented to prove that senior Russian officials were actually behind the hacking of Hillarys emailsbut who needs facts when you have a complicit media eager to advance whatever propaganda is necessary to maintain power? Its fair to say the CIA is responsible for the DoS attack on WikiLeaks, although there is no evidence of this. Cui bono? Only the state and its sycophants stand to gain from taking down WikiLeaks.

3	The Militarys Ridiculous $5 Million Microwave Radiation Safety StudyBy Aaron and Melissa Dykes There are lots of details explaining why the public has not been made aware of the dangers of microwaves, ELF and other frequencies that are used silently and invisibly, but suffice to say that the establishment is not interested in the population being made aware of the control measures being used against it, the fences surrounding it and the lengths taken to keep us all in the dark. ALSO: Check Out This Piece of Crap Fake Tree Cell Tower So there are lots of hidden and disguised cell towers that have been exposed out there, but this one was just a bit too conspicuous not to call it out for the monstrosity it is something we saw traveling through Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

1	After an 11-year NFL career, a Rams nose tackle officially announced his retirement from pro football at a press conference Friday, telling reporters that over the next five years he intends to lose all of his money and eventually shoot himself. After more than a decade of playing football, Im ready to begin the next chapter of my life, said the defensive linemen, who was selected 94th overall by the Cowboys in the 2001 draft out of Maryland. Next week I will move to my home to Sarasota, Florida, where in the coming years I plan to squander my career earnings, slide into depression, and commit suicide sometime in early 2018. The 33-year-old told reporters that starting next month, he will begin drinking heavily, behaving erratically, and making a series of brash fiscal decisions that will gradually reduce him from being a multimillionaire to bankruptcy. Ive already made several bad investments I expect will lead to my financial ruin sometime in the next three or four years, said the nose tackle, noting that his adviser wont push back against any of the investments because hes afraid of being fired. When the money dries up, Ill try to keep my head above water by appearing in a few depressing ads for small businesses in the St. Louis area. Then who knows? I may even explore a career in broadcasting that will fail because Im not famous enough and have absolutely no relevant experience, he continued. And at some point Ill attempt a brief football comeback, which will be so humiliating it will just make me even more depressed. Explaining that he is completely unable to function in normal life without a strict, regimented schedule, the NFL veteran estimated that by 2017 he will have been arrested three times for driving under the influence, once for assaulting his girlfriend in public, and will also be under investigation for tax fraud. Tormented by constant pain from injuries sustained during his career, and facing the prospect of waiting eight more years before he can even touch his pension fund, the defensive tackle said he then plans to shoot himself in the chest with a 12-gauge shotgun. I might shoot my girlfriend tooI havent really decided, said the 33-year-old, noting that he intends to donate his brain to a Boston University study on chronic traumatic brain injury. Either way, Im definitely going to leave some kind of heartbreaking note explaining how I cant live with who Ive become, and how I just dont want to deal with the pain and shame anymore. Maybe theyll write a three- or four-paragraph story on ESPN about it, he added. The 11-year NFL veteran mentioned that after committing suicide, his post-retirement plans include serving as a cautionary tale to younger professional football players and maybe being cited as a statistic in a mental health debate. Thats all still a ways down the road, though, said the two-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman. For now, Im just going to focus on spending time at home feeling worthless, becoming increasingly hostile and violent toward my family, and alienating all the people I love. You know, the stuff thats really important. 
2	Switzerland Bans Burqas And Then THIS Happens This would never happen in the United States, but maybe it is time we took note about this trend happening in European countries throughout the world. According to reports, women caught wearing a burqa in Switzerland will now be fined up to $10,000, thanks to new measures being put in place by the local government. Women are now banned from wearing burqas in shops, restaurants or public buildings in Ticino, southern Switzerland. Local leaders approved the ban after gaining support of two-thirds of voters. The new law will apply both to citizens and visitors. Those traveling into Ticino will be told about the policy at the Italian border. What do you think? Do you support this measure? 
2	Mike Pence Finally Goes Off, Completely Unleashes On Hillary In Way Nobody Expected Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, called people who dont like her and instead prefer Donald Trump as a basket of deplorables. You know, just to be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trumps supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobicyou name it. And unfortunately, there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. Although Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence has a reputation for being laid back and steady, but he certainly got worked back when he sharply criticized her for her comments. Hillary Clintons low opinion of the people that support this campaign should be denounced in the strongest possible terms, he commented. The truth of the matter is that the men and women who support Donald Trumps campaign are hardworking Americans: farmers, coal miners, teachers, veterans, members of our law enforcement communitymembers of every class of this country who know that we can make America great again. Let, me just say from the bottom of my heart: Hillary, they are not a basket of anything, Pence concluded. They are Americans and they deserve your respect. No one with a record of failure at home and abroad, no one with her avalanche of dishonesty and corruptions, and no one with that low opinion of the American people should ever be elected president of the United States of America. We must decide here and now that Hillary Clinton will never be elected president. Watch the clip below and tell us what you think. 
3	Mike Bloomberg Legacy: 12 Years of Little Tyrannies in 2 Minutes!Reason TV 
1	WASHINGTON, DCIn a grand opening Monday, Washington became home to the first Homeless Depot, one link in a nationwide chain of warehouse-style stores that will supply the nation's estimated 350,000 homeless people with all of their street-lifestyle essentials. Early-bird shoppers visit the new Homeless Depot. 'There are 14,000 homeless people in D.C. alone, but there's never been a retail business that catered to their unique needs,' store manager Geoff Alberts said. 'Homeless Depot is a one-stop spot for cardboard building supplies, used carpet scraps, filthy woolen blankets, and flattened garbage-can lids. We also sell coffee cups, cigarette butts, soiled clothing, expired coupons, June 2001 People magazines, and half-empty containers of Dippity-Do hairstyling gel. Best of all, we have really nice, big, sturdy shopping carts.' 'Wide selection and low cost are the benefits of a store this size,' he added, as he led reporters through the 90,000-square-foot Homeless Depot's neatly organized rows of inventory. 'The liquor department features more than 40 types of fortified wine, 30 different malt beverages, and a full selection of budget-priced liquors, including Old Thompson Whiskey and McCormick Vodka,' Alberts said, gesturing to racks stretching up to the store's two-story ceiling. 'We're able to offer alcoholics their favorite brands at prices up to 15 percent lower than those at convenience stores.' 'Volume buying allows for low prices on the essentials,' he continued. 'Whereas the corner bodega charges $2 for a butane cigarette lighter, we can offer them for half that, and our clerks provide service without a sneer.' Alberts led the group past a Homeless Depot employee conducting an in-store 'Know How' customer clinic titled 'Installing A Temporary Garden Bed.' As several dozen onlookers watched the employee fasten a length of plastic sheeting to an artificial bush, Alberts explained that, in addition to selling materials for building and decorating temporary homes, the store will also feature weekly entrepreneurial how-to demonstrations. 'This week, we've got UB40 cassette tapes, still in their original packaging,' Alberts said. 'Come on in, and we'll show you how any ambitious do-it-yourselfer with a dirty blanket can turn cassette tapes into big cash.' Though the cavernous store also offers many useful services and filthy odds and ends, Homeless Depot specializes in home-building materials. A shelf of clearance items at Homeless Depot. 'We've got some very interesting offerings in the cardboard division,' Alberts said, gesturing toward a 200-foot-long aisle of appliance boxes. 'Now, it used to be that, in order to get a refrigerator box, you had to search high and low, with no guarantee you'd ever strike gold. No longer. We sell our top-of-the-line, Kenmore 25.5 cubic foot double-door refrigerator boxes right here, only $4.79 each.' Alberts added that, while much of the store's inventory is available curbside at no cost, customers should be willing to pay for quality and availability. 'Our sheets of corrugated cardboard are coated with a polymer that will withstand intense rain and snow,' Alberts said. 'It may cost more than something you'd find on the curb, but we guarantee that a temporary shelter built from our products will provide you with several months' protection from the elements. That's the Homeless Depot promise.' According to Street Voices, the Homeless Depot advertising circular written by and for homeless people, the items carried in the cardboard sectionexcluding television boxes, microwave boxes, and air-conditioner boxescome with a 60-day aluminum-cans-back guarantee. Convenience represents another benefit Homeless Depot holds over scavenging, Alberts said. 'Our five-pound sack of cigarette butts represents hours, if not days, of labor saved,' Alberts said. 'As so many of our customers are self-employed, that's time that could be spent writing a manifesto, praising Jesus, or crafting a list of one's military-service credentials to aid in the acquisition of spare change.' 'We also carry a wide array of gently used markers,' he added. Alberts said the first day of business generated widespread interest, with nearly a thousand customers entering the store and using the bathroom. Theodore Nathan, an analyst for the Professional Association of Retailers, said he was impressed by the stores' unique business plan. 'With the success of Wal-Mart and similar chains, the market for budget retail goods is crowded, to say the least,' Nathan said. 'Stores like Target have chosen to go slightly up the price ladder, while stores like Homeless Depot and ALDI cater to the extremely budget-minded consumer.' Homeless Depot CEO Randy Thompson said that several other Homeless Depots are currently under construction. 'We're going to open stores in Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, and New Orleans by January 2005,' Thompson said. 'And, unless the economy gets significantly better, we plan to add another 20 cities to that list in the next five years.' Thompson denied rumors that jobs are available at any of the stores.

'Ooh, I'm gonna have to ice this tonight,' said Mooney, rubbing the muscle he pulled while removing a Massachusetts tax-code reference book from his shelf. 'Now I know how [Red Sox pitcher] Wade Miller felt.' Doctors said Mooney's condition is probably soreness resulting from a lack of regular exercise.

'And this ambient water temperature and elevated salinity level feel great on my fins. Things just seem to be going my way right now, I guess.' The herring went on to say that it didn't want to jinx itself, but it had to admit its spawning prospects were looking 'real good' too.

It is also about to launch a campaign to discourage smoking by Americans. As one of the largest retailers and pharmacies in America, CVS Caremark sets a powerful example, Obama stated. Todays decision will help advance my administrations efforts to reduce tobacco-related deaths, cancer, and heart disease, as well as bring down health care costsultimately saving lives and protecting untold numbers of families from pain and heartbreak for years to come. Obama has had a history of smoking himself, but he praised CVS Caremark CEO Larry Merlo, the companys board of directors who helped make a choice that will have a profoundly positive impact on the health of our country. Michelle also thanked the organization on her social media site, claiming, now we can all breathe a little easier, and our families can live healthier. What do you think of the presidents comments? 
2	Loretta Has Lost Two Children, But Her and Her One Surviving Son Sent THIS Amazing Message To Jesus Loretta Lynn has had 6 children in her lifetime, but only one son and 3 daughters are still alive on earth. Her first son passed away during a horrible drowning accident, and her daughter passed away due to an illness. I could not imagine burying one child. Loretta has had to bury two. That is the hardest tragedy for anyone to ever get through, but somehow Loretta has. Loretta loved her children; there is no doubt about that. She has three daughters still alive: Peggy, Cissy, and Patsy. Patsy and Peggy are twin sisters and are actually in a band together. Her son Ernest, who is featured in the video below, was born in 1954. He was their third child and has had a musical career. Lorettas entire family is musically inclined. Her sister, Crystal Gayle, has had numerous number one hits. When Ernest and Loretta begin to sing their Message To Jesus I almost broke down and cried. The song is beautiful and the mother/daughter duo sound great together. The religious ballad is one of Lorettas greatest songs. This performance is one of Lorettas proudest moments. Will you send your love to Loretta? 
2	Woman Climbs Pole To Take Down Confederate Flag, And Then Something AMAZING Happens According to recent reports, a 30-year-old black woman was arrested without incident after climbing up a flagpole outside of South Carolinas Statehouse on Saturday Morning. Her goal was to pull down the Confederate flag that was hanging there, just hours before a rally was set to take place by supporters of the flag. The woman was arrested as she descended the 30-foot-pole, along with a white man who was helping her in the process. The flag was raised once again shortly after the arrest, and can only be removed legally by South Carolinas legislature. Republican Governor Nikki Haley and several other politicians have called for the flags removal following the Charleston church shooting that took the lives of nine black church members. You come against me with hatred and oppression and bias, Brittany Ann Byuarium Newsom yelled from the flagpole to authorities. I come against you in the name of God. This flag comes down today. Im prepared to be arrested. What do you think of Newsoms actions? Do you support the true meaning of the Confederate flag?

2	This Veteran Almost Died Saving Someones Life. See What He Looks Like After A Face Transplant In 2001, an Indiana did something incredibly brave, and he almost paid the ultimate price for it. The veteran saved a womans life during a car accident, pulling her from the burning wreckage. His face was horribly disfigured by the events, though. For years, he lived with peoples gawking stares and children being frightened of him. He battled with depression. Imagine walking into a room and like falling, and everybody noticing. Thats how it was every time I walked in a room because of the way my face looked, he said, WISH-TV reports. But now, the veteran has undergone a life-changing face transplant, and the results are unbelievable. While he was pulling the woman from the car, loose wires shocked him with 10,000 volts of electricity for an excruciating five minutes. I look back on it as something that made me stronger, Hunter said. I mean, yeah I would like to have my leg and my face back, but without that happening, I wouldnt be who I am today. Hunter became the second person in the US to ever receive this operation, and its totally changed his life. Its a lot easier going out in public. I dont get the stares. Im just another face in the crowd, and thats all I ever wanted, he said. When I leave the house, its just a normal routine. I get up, take a shower, get my car keys, leave, go to the store. It feels nice being a regular human being and having a nine to five job, waking up just like the next guy and going to work, Hunter said. Not only that, but sensation has returned to his face, which makes hugging and kissing his children so much better. Hot, cold, pain, tickle, rubbing my beard, someone kissing my face I can feel everything, said Hunter. It was amazing, just having sensation like that come back. 
2	BREAKING: Obamas Reign Is Over According to a new Gallup poll, people who identify with the Tea Party wing of the Republican Party are the most motivated to take part in the midterm elections, Breitbart reports. In fact, 73 percent of Tear Party Republicans claim that they are very motivated to vote in the first week of November. In contrast, only 57 percent of other Republicans, and 42% of Democrats and non-Republicans were equally motivated to participate. This discrepancy stems from the concern of the Tea Party about the Islamic State terrorists, the economy, and the federal budget deficit. There is also strong desire to remove Harry Reid as the Senate Majority leader. And although the media claims it is not the case, the election also gives a shot at enforcing rules on Barack Obama, whose approval ratings continue to drop at an astonishing rate. The poll also revealed that support of the Tea Party has increased, with one in four Americans identifying themselves as supporters.

2	U.S. State Welcomes First Muslim Refugees And Then THIS Happened... We Told You According to recent reports, one TV station has just released information that a Syrian refugee resettling in Baton Rouge just walked away from the agency. Catholic Charities helped the refugee who settled in Baton Rouge, but said the immigrant left for another state after a couple of days, and they dont know where the refugee went since they dont track them, WBRZ reported. This is just one of many warning signs. It was also reported that this past weekend, Louisiana officials discovered that they had 14 resettled refuges only after it was reported on live TV. One out of 14 has gone missing? Harry Buskin wrote. Thats 7%. So, that works out to 7,000 out of every 100,000 we bring in. The Paris slaughter was brought about by 8 people. They killed over 120, which, divided by 8, gives 15+ per jihadist. So 7,000 jihadists times 15 comes out to over 90,000 future victims on the table. What do you think? Is Obamas plan absolutely ludicrous? Do we need to focus on our national security now more than ever? 
1	As trouser downsizing continues throughout the troubled economy and budget cuts threaten employees' pants security, many workers in legwear-based fields have come to fear the worst. But though trouser downsizing affects virtually all Americans, the hardest hit are those in the country's $2.1 billion domestic raving industry, who depend on trouser size for their very survival. Trouser downsizing for them is no mere media buzzword, but a serious threat to their way of life. 'Without dope-ass phat gear, I will not be able to rave nearly as effectively as I have done in the past,' said Minneapolis-area raver Mark the Phonky Alien, whose overall trouser volume has decreased more than 40 percent in the last six months due to fabric cutbacks. 'I cannot drop crazy, low-end bass, I cannot freak the turntables, and I cannot put food on the table for my family. It's that simple.' All across America, an increasing number of raving-industry workers are afraid of losing their pants, watching helplessly as their trousers continue to decrease in size. Many have been forced to endure cuffs that stop short of the foot, leaving the entire top of the shoe exposed. In some of the worst-hit areas, such as New York's SoHo and Greenwich Village, massive denim shortages have caused the price of oversized pants to nearly triple. Many of these New York ravers, unable to afford the high prices, have actually been forced to abandon their dope, oversized Fuct and Alien Workshop-brand gear altogether, trading them in for humiliatingly narrow $30 Levi's 'slim fits.' 'Phat-ass gear is going the way of the dinosaur, and no one in the society at large seems to be doing anything about it,' said out-of-work Chicago raver DJ Free MDMA, 20, whose straight-leg jeans barely even sag at the crotch. 'Just look at me. I look ridiculous. It hurts to admit it, but I've even started wearing khakis on weekdays, just to make ends meet.' 'They're Dockers,' he added tearfully. 'They're even pleated.' Raving-industry insiders say the situation is only going to get worse. 'Unchecked, unregulated trouser growth throughout the early '90s resulted in a rate of denim use that simply could not sustain itself,' said Anson Farber of Princeton's Institute For Trouser Studies. 'Trouser mergers throughout the decade, in which as many as three or four pants worth of fabric were combined into a single pair of trousers, created an unstable leg-width situation that continues to this day. A collapse of the nation's drastically overinflated pants was inevitable.' According to Farber, by as early as 1998 we may begin seeing ravers in shorts. DJ Freek Malik, who spins Friday nights at Miami's famed Club 808, has mounted an effort to fight back. Collecting fabric donations from every available source, Malik's organization, PhatNow!, is attempting to provide trouser relief for Miami-area ravers, adding desperately needed volume to their pants. But even Malik admits it is an uphill climb. 'A lot of ravers use their pants to provide a place to crash for friends who've been kicked out of their parents' houses,' he said. 'What are they supposed to say? 'I'm sorry, but my pants just aren't big enough for the both of us anymore, I'm kicking you out on the street'?' 'It's sad,' Malik added, sighing. 'Many of these kids have had no choice but to give up raving altogether and try to find work elsewhere, often as goths.' Yet despite the hardship, many ravers remain optimistic about the future. 'I hear there's gonna be a big rave in Phoenix this weekend,' said Brianna Dunham, 18, a Tempe, AZ, raver. 'This one guy Dean's got a car. We're all going. I can't wait.' Sadly, that's all the nation's ravers can dowait. And hope that trouser downsizing won't ultimately leave them high and dry. 
2	BREAKING: Obama Is Gearing Up To Take Down Kid Rock After He Did THIS Kid Rock has been making headlines lately, following a controversy with the National Action Network and his association with the Confederate flag. Recently, a reporter from Rolling Stone Magazine spent a day with the musician and decided to write about the experience. The day was full of thrills, beginning with a wild boar hunt and ending with a sentimental tribute to our soldiers. During the experience, Kid openly displayed his gun collection. Guys with the president carry this, Kid told the reporter. You have to get these pre-1985 with a silencer. I bought it when Obummer came into office, because Im thinking, What if he f***ing bans guns? Were sure that comment is going to stir up even more controversy, but Kid has never been afraid to stand behind what he believesand hes dead set on protecting his second amendment rights. We dont put it past Obama to attempt to strip them away. In fact, weve already seen the beginnings of measures designed to do so. What do you think? Do you support Kid Rock?

1	BRULE RIVER, WIThe appearance of a shiny, bobbling object in the water of the Brule, just upstream of the big sunken oak stump, is generating considerable interest among members of the fish community, river sources reported Monday. Three local river dwellers inspect the unfamiliar, lustrous object. 'The luminous, gray-dappled exterior of this dipping and jogging object is so captivating that trout, bass, bluegill, and even members of the normally indifferent carp population are drawn to its undulant movement,' said a 67-day-old yellow perch who has lived in the Brule all his life. The perch added: 'No one's sure what it is, but it certainly has our attention.' Descriptions vary due to differing levels of color vision and depth perception, but freshwater residents agree that the object is about the length of three adult crickets, laid end to end. One freshwater source said the object appeared near the stump just after sunrise, then migrated sinuously upstream. 'I saw the shiny object this morning,' an eight-pound walleyed pike said. 'I was up in that area by the stump waiting for the late-summer caddis-fly hatch that should be coming any day now, when it came out of the air. It rose out for a time, only to reappear again by the stump a minute or so later.' The walleye characterized the object as 'mesmerizingly minnow-esque.' 'The bass were the first to talk about it, but they're kind of a coarse fish,' the walleye said, slowly swaying his tail fin from right to left. 'It's when the trout get involved that you have to take notice. They're cautious, generally. When I saw that even they were gathering around the glinting thing, I thought, 'Well, I'm game!'' Some say they have seen the object before, on weekday evenings and weekend days. Local authorities have had difficulty gaining a consensus, however, because river fish do not commonly associate in schools. Aquatic experts say that decisive action will be taken regarding the object in the near future. 'Someone's going to lunge for it,' said a black crappie, speaking for members of the river's large Pomoxis nigromaculatus population. 'What we are seeing now is a contest between patience and curiosity. We're enraptured, frankly. Is it the shininess, like unto the scales of a smaller fish? Or the flickering, recalling the wings of a struggling beetle? Perhaps it's those baffling silver extensions, glinting so in the light. What are they? And, then, of course, there is the wriggling. The wriggling! Like a helpless, flailing tadpole, when you have him in your mouth, and you experience that delicious moment when he still might get away.' Added the crappie: 'All I know is, I can't take either of my non-stereoscopic eyes off of it.' Not every species was impressed. 'That shiny thing, that ain't no new thing,' said a 19-pound muskellunge who traveled up the nearby chain of lakes to the Brule earlier this summer. 'That thing is in all the rivers. These guys have no long-term memory at all. Brains is too small.' Although interest in the object varies, with smaller panfish being the least curious and larger freshwater predators sustaining their interest over several hours, no fish has yet made contact with the object. 'Shiny as it is, wriggly as it is, and tempting as it would be to just snatch it up, there's a feeling in the downstream area that it isn't to be taken lightly,' said a brown trout and self-described expert in shiny objects. 'No one will soon forget the example set by that perch a couple years ago. Why, they say he brashly ignored the elders' repeated warnings about suspiciously colored worms, and he hasn't been seen since.' 
1	Several members of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology chapter of the Theta Tau fraternity are in campus-police custody today following a brutal hazing incident in which one robot remains missing and two others are in critical condition with extensive circuitry and servo-motor injuries, sources revealed Monday. AMBLE5, top, and Bradbury, bottom, two of the pledgebots victimized in the latest on-campus incident of robo-hazing. The robots, experimental prototypes recently devised at MIT's prestigious Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, were participating in an apparent initiation exercise that police say involved butyl alcohol and compressed air. According to eyewitnesses, the three robots were ripped from their chargers at the Theta Tau chapter house at 3 a.m. Tuesday. One, a titanium-alloy hexapod approximately 13 inches in diameter, was reportedly forced to climb stairs built at a grade too steep for its small hinged legs, causing six of its pneumatic actuators to short out. A second robot, a biped from MIT's Leg Laboratory, was allegedly forced to replicate 'the same humiliating hopping algorithm' 200,000 times, and is currently in critical condition in the laboratory's emergency-repair room. The third robot, a tread-driven 38-inch-tall rover, is feared drowned after being forced to consume over 40 terabytes of data and then swim across the Charles River with a burning candle stuck in its rear port. 'We will thoroughly investigate this matter, and take strong disciplinary action,' MIT Dean of Students Geraldine Knight said. 'These robots are extremely artificially intelligent. They wouldn't willingly subject themselves to this sort of abuse without extreme levels of peer pressure or even downright reprogramming.' MIT students discuss the robo-hazing incident at The Thirsty Scholar, a popular local hangout. Among those detained for questioning were Theta Tau chapter president David Kovis, treasurer Charles Leung, and fraternity members Lee Berger, Andy Ockridge, A. Muduthanapally, and Chen Kwan Tan. They could be charged with first-degree botslaughter and operating a motorized robot under the influence, charges that carry a maximum punishment of lifetime banishment from the MIT Media lab. This is not the first case of robot hazing on the campus. Last fall, during 'Rush Week,' a spider-legged unit was found struggling in a closet at MIT's School of Engineering, stripped of its outer casing, its motion sensors covered with duct tape. The perpetrators were never found. On another occasion, a robot was locked in a room and forced to calculate pi to the 1083 decimal place in what officials called one of the worst cases of binge-thinking they'd ever seen. This latest incident comes in the wake of a February episode in which an ambulating chatbot device created at Caltech was programmed to repeat the phrase 'I am a faggot' while locomoting across campus. Robots have also reportedly been made to fight each other, often to total annihilation, in the basements of applied-science-based campus fraternal organizations during their respective 'hell weeks.' The Theta Tau fraternity house where the alleged systems abuse took place. A spokesman for the Theta Tau fraternity claimed that the 'fun just got out of hand,' and that the robot pledges were '100 percent cool with the initiation.' 'They showed us they were willing to do anything to be Theta Tau brothers. Loyalty, commitment, and conformity are what the Greek system is all about,' the spokesman said. In protest, human-emotion-simulator robot Kismet, a respected member of the MIT community, announced that it will only display an expression of disapprovalrefusing to smile, show fear, or raise a curious eyebrowuntil those responsible receive appropriate punishment. 
3	Ukraine And Its Position on Brzezinskis Grand ChessboardBrandon Turbeville Indeed, to convey the fact that the initial Euromaidan protests were instigated by the United States and Anglo-European powers in order to gain a strategic advantage over and antagonize Russia is difficult enough. To further explain that Russia, who has geopolitical and imperial aspirations of its own, is acting defensively in its response to the destabilization efforts while, at the same time, attempting to extend its own level of control over Ukraine, is an equally difficult task. However, assuming that the complex nature of the Ukrainian situation can be accurately conveyed, one question that almost always arises is Why? Why is Ukraine so important? In order to answer this question it might serve us well to consult the work of powerful insider Zbigniew Brzezinski in his book The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy And Its Geostrategic Imperatives. It should be remembered that it was in this very book that Brzezinski uttered the famous statement that America is too democratic at home to be autocratic abroad. This limits the use of Americas power, especially its capacity for military intimidation. Never before has a populist democracy attained international supremacy. But the pursuit of power is not a goal that commands popular passion, except in conditions of a sudden threat or challenge to the publics sense of domestic well-being.[2] However, the Grand Chessboard discusses so much more than the lack of desire to wage war by the general public absent a perceived external threat. The book discusses in detail the various major players in the geopolitical game and the methods they may use to achieve their goals of hegemony. In this book, Brzezinski explains briefly the role that Ukraine plays in the geopolitical back-and-forth between the United States and Russia as well as the delineations these three countries fall under when attempting to analyze the geostrategic imperatives of the two major powers. For instance, in the section entitled Geopolitical Players and Geostrategic Pivots, Brzezinski defines the major geopolitical players in the geopolitical game as well as those nations that are too weak to act as anything other than pawns or, at best, crafty tightrope walkers balancing and encouraging conflict or cooperation between those nations that seek to dominate them. Brzezinski defines these roles by stating, Active geostrategic players are the states that have the capacity and the national will to exercise power or influence beyond their borders in order to alter to a degree that affects Americas interests the existing geopolitical state of affairs. They have the potential and/or the predisposition to be geopolitically volatile. For whatever reason the quest for national grandeur, ideological fulfillment, religious messianism, or economic aggrandizement some states do seek to attain regional domination or global standing They thus take careful stock of Americas power, determine the extent to which their interests overlap or collide with America, and shape their own more limited Eurasian objectives, sometimes in collusion but sometimes in conflict with Americas policies. To the Eurasian states so driven, the United States must pay special attention.[1] As for the geopolitical pivots, Brzezinski describes them by writing, Geopolitical pivots are the states whose importance is derived not from their power and motivation but rather from their sensitive location and from the consequences of their potentially vulnerable condition for the behavior of geostrategic players. Most often, geopolitical pivots are determined by their geography, which in some cases gives them a special role either in defining access to important areas or in denying resources to a significant player. In some cases, a geopolitical pivot may act as a defensive shield for a vital state or even a region. Sometimes, the very existence of a geopolitical pivot can be said to have very significant political and cultural consequences for a more active neighboring geostrategic player. The identification of the post-Cold War key Eurasian geopolitical pivots, and protecting them, is thus also a crucial aspect of Americas global geostrategy.[2] Brzezinski also notes that although all geostrategic players tend to be important and powerful countries, not all important and powerful countries are automatically geostrategic players. Still, he breaks the world down into five countries that he considers geostrategic players and five which he considers to be geopolitical pivots. Since Brzezinski is writing his book from the point of view of an American imperialist, it should be accepted that the United States is also considered to be a major geostrategic player, thus bringing the count in that category to six. With that in mind, Brzezinskis major geostrategic players include the United States, Russia, China, India, Germany, and France. Interestingly enough, while significant enough to bear honorable mention, Great Britain, Japan, and Indonesia do not qualify as major geostrategic players. The five major geopolitical pivots are then listed in the form of Azerbaijan, South Korea, Turkey, Iran, and Ukraine. Although Brzezinski spends time discussing each of these nations individually, it is his statements regarding Ukraine that concern us here. Brzezinski writes, Ukraine, a new and important space on the Eurasion chessboard, is a geopolitical pivot because its very existence as an independent country helps to transform Russia. Without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be a Eurasian empire. Russia without Ukraine can still strive for imperial status, but it would then become a predominantly Asian imperial state, more likely to be drawn into debilitating conflicts with aroused Central Asians, who would then be resentful of the loss of their recent independence and would be supported by their fellow Islamic states to the South.[3] Clearly, although a major geopolitical pivot for any nation attempting to assert its imperial will, Ukraine stands as a much more important player for Russia than it does for the United States. As Brzezinski writes, Without Ukraine, as already noted, an imperial restoration [for Russia] based either on the CIS [Commonwealth of Independent States] or on Eurasianism was not a viable option. An empire without Ukraine would eventually mean a Russia that would become more Asianized and more remote from Europe.[4] Later, Brzezinski also points out the necessity of the Ukrainian connection to Europe for Russias own European connections. He states, The key point to bear in mind is that Russia cannot be in Europe without Ukraine also being in Europe, whereas Ukraine can be in Europe without Russia being in Europe. Brzezinski pretends that Russias self- interest involves greater integration with Europe. Indeed, Brzezinski clearly suggests that a model Europe would involve a united land mass that stretches from the UK to the Ural mountains. He states that It is to be hoped that a cooperative relationship between an enlarging Europe and Russia can move from formal bilateral links to more organic and binding economic, political, and security ties An association or even some form of membership for Russia in the European and transatlantic structures would in turn open the doors to the inclusion of the three Caucasian countries Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan that so desperately aspire to a European connection.[5] Of course, the national interests of Russia would most certainly not lie with the integration of itself with Europe. Indeed, this has been against the national self-interest of every nation that has joined the E.U. to begin with as they all have inevitably sacrificed their national sovereignty, economies, and personal freedoms for the benefit of a massive European Soviet that now issues dictates down to the lowest levels. In addition, it should be pointed out that the E.U. was by no means an organic operation. Despite the protest of the vast majority of Europeans, the E.U. was forced down the throats of the population despite repeated popular votes against the union. Indeed, the E.U. was entirely a creation of the political elite as far back as 1954 in the first of what is now termed the infamous Bilderberg meeting. Still, it is important to point out that, despite Brzezinskis visions for Europe and Russia, the importance of Ukraine in that dynamic cannot be understated. As Brzezinski writes, Indeed, the Ukraines relationship to Europe could be the turning point for Russia itself. But that also means that the defining moment for Russias relationship to Europe is still some time off defining in the sense that Ukraines choice in favor of Europe will bring to a head Russias decision regarding the next phase of its history: either to be a part of Europe as well or to become a Eurasian outcast, neither truly of Europe nor Asia and mired in its near abroad conflicts.[6] Notice that, in this statement, the choices provided to Russia by Brzezinskis philosophy are between total fealty to the European Soviet and total irrelevance. No self-respecting nation would choose either of these two options for its future and this is a fact that Brzezinski is undoubtedly aware of. Thus, it is clear that the Russians are being faced with the non-choice that is the Brzezinski doctrine, a philosophy that, when put into practice, makes conflict virtually inevitable. With these statements in mind, it is clear that Ukraine not only stands as an important geopolitical pivot, but also as a potential tinderbox between two nuclear powers. It also becomes clear from the writings of Brzezinski, the statements of his Neo-Con counterparts, and the actions of the Anglo-Europeans, that a conflict between the United States and Russia is not feared, it is desired.

3	NATO Missiles in Turkey to Point at SyriaTony Cartalucci, Contributor Turkey sent troops and fighter jets into Iraq Wednesday in hot pursuit of Kurdish rebels who killed more than 25 Turkish soldiers in multiple attacks in the southern Turkish province of Hakkari. It was the first cross-border violence in five years between Turkish troops and Kurdish guerrillas who Turkey says shelter in northern Iraq. A month earlier, Turkey was strafing villages in northern Iraq. In June 2012, the BBC reported in their article, Turkey in new air strikes on Kurdish rebels in Iraq, that: Turkeys military has confirmed further air strikes against Kurdish rebel bases in northern Iraq. It said nine attacks were carried out by Turkish aircraft on hideouts of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), mostly in the Qandil region. Last Wednesday the military said it had carried out similar strikes, a day after eight Turkish soldiers and 26 PKK rebels were killed in clashes. Conversely, this same silent and complicit international community has warned that any mirroring strategy by Syria to likewise follow militants, harbored by Turkey, over its borders in hot pursuit will result in military intervention. CNNs article titled, NATO OKs Patriots and delivers warning: Dont even think about attacking Turkey reported: Today NATO agreed to augment Turkeys air defense by deploying Patriot missiles to Turkey. Turkey has asked for NATOs support and we stand with Turkey in the spirit of strong solidarity, said NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen. To Turkish people we say, we are determined to defend you and your territory. To anyone who would want to attack Turkey, we say, dont even think about it. It appears then that the stationing of Patriot missiles along the Turkish-Syrian border is, in part, a means to give Turkey assurances of impunity as it continues facilitating increased, overt NATO aggression against Syria. This is stated explicitly in the corporate-financier funded Brookings Institution document, Middle East Memo #21 Assessing Options for Regime Change (.pdf), which reads: However, securing Turkeys and Jordans participation may be challenging because both Amman and Ankara appear reluctant to host a Syrian opposition army involved in large-scale operations. They fear Syrian vengeance in the form of terrorism or support for unrest on their own soil, and would have to be convinced that the risk was worth the effort; they may even need to be provided with security guarantees and assistance. In addition, Jordan and Turkey would fear that arming the opposition and escalating the fighting could lead to spillover into their own countries or into Iraq and Lebanon, inflaming strife throughout the region. Given the fragility of all of Syrias Arab neighbors, stoking the flames of Syrias civil war should not be undertaken lightly, and arming the opposition might require Western support to all of Syrias neighbors to help them cope with spillover. (page 6) The move to station the anti-aircraft systems on the Turkish-Syrian border also involves NATO attempting to incrementally deploy a no-fly zone over northern Syria. This is intended for carving out long-ago prescribed safe havens within which NATO-backed terrorists can operate while the US handpicked proxy regime can safely pose as administrators. This is also mentioned in the Brookings report: An alternative is for diplomatic efforts to focus first on how to end the violence and how to gain humanitarian access, as is being done under Annans leadership. This may lead to the creation of safe-havens and humanitarian corridors, which would have to be backed by limited military power. This would, of course, fall short of U.S. goals for Syria and could preserve Asad in power. From that starting point, however, it is possible that a broad coalition with the appropriate international mandate could add further coercive action to its efforts. (page 4) The Wests diplomatic manipulation has failed. And because the Brookings report found considerable complications with conducting a Libya-style air campaign over Syria, (because Syrian forces are not isolated and exposed in the same manner as Libyan government forces were) it was determined that while significant damage could be accomplished versus the Syrian military from the air, it would not guarantee regime change and may lead to the necessity for the West to either fold or double down with a ground invasion (page 11). It appears then, with the deployment of Patriot missiles, the West will try to salvage the best of both options creating a safe haven in the north of Syria by creating a no-fly zone, but without flying sorties over Syrian territory. While NATO currently denies the missiles are intended for the creation of a no-fly zone, US Senator John McCain has openly admitted the missiles are to shoot down a Syrian jet, thus creating a psychological deterrence against the governments further use of air power where safe havens are to be carved out. During the Neo-Conservative Foreign Policy Initiative (FPI) The Consequences of Inaction in Syria talk, uploaded on November 28, 2012, McCain would state after being asked what should be done in Syria (shortly after 17:00): The no-fly zone. Which by the way, does not mean that we go after Bashars air defenses. It means that we emplace anti-air missiles in place and I guarantee you, first Syrian aircraft we shot down that would be the last one to fly over a no-fly zone. A place where they a Benghazi. A Benghazi where they can organize, where they can train where they can equip where we can find out who the good guys and the bad guys are in this effort to form a revolutionary council that will be effective. and also frankly to counter what is the increasing influence of Al Qaeda and extremists who are pouring in from all over the Middle East. Of course McCain fails to disclose that the extremists he fears pouring into Syria, are primarily from the very city of Benghazi he cited, a city he and the late US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens personally helped establish as a region-wide terror-hub. I think Patriot missiles now the Germans are moving some patriot missiles under some kind of weird circumstances but at least they are coming into Turkey. Or we could give them a limited number, a controlled number of MANPADS. But primarily I think it would just be a Patriot installation. Pilots are not going to fly into certain death. I dont care how brave they are. And you shoot down one or two of them, theyre not going to fly there again. They may like Bashar al-Assad, but they like to live a little more. McCain would continue by admitting the Turkish government does not have the support of its people in supporting NATOs attempt to implement regime change in neighboring Syria. The conspiracy has been documented, a US Senator has all but admitted why the missiles are going into Turkey not to defend the NATO member as stated, but to impose a de facto no-fly zone over Syria. It remains to be seen what pretense NATO uses to finally execute this already decided-upon plan. Whatever it may be, a chemical weapons false-flag or another fabricated atrocity, it is documented clearly that expanded aggression against Syria is premeditated, merely couched in superficial justification and the illusion that NATO is fighting Syria reluctantly after being provoked. linkwithin_text=Related Articles:

2	Military Veteran Football Coach Fired For Praying... Now Hes Making Them Pay, Big Time According to recent reports, the Washington state high school football coach who was suspended without pay last month for refusing to stop praying after games is firing back. He has just launched a lawsuit against the Bremerton School District, claiming that they have violated his First Amendment rights. I spent 20 years in the military fighting to defend the Constitution, Joe Kennedy told reporters. It didnt seem right that I wasnt allowed to say a prayer with my guys after a football game was over. Kennedys attorney, Hiram Sasser, claims that just because his client is an employee of a public school, does not mean that he loses his right to public religious expression. Bremerton does not see it that way. Students required to be present by virtue of their participation in football or cheerleading will necessarily suffer a degree of coercion to participate in religious activity when their coaches lead or endorse it, district officials commented. Still, Kennedy says he is standing up for what he thinks is right and maintains that his personal prayers are not about indoctrination, but rather a tribute to God for the wonderful opportunity he has been given to lead his team. What do you think? Is Kennedy right? Should coaches be allowed to pray after a game? 
1	A study of more than 1,200 subjects by the Consumer Research Institute at Loyola University has found that a significant majority of U.S. citizens want. 'Regardless of their age, gender, class, education, or religion, Americans are remarkably alike in their capacity to want,' Dr. Stanley Murcheson told reporters Tuesday, noting that 33 percent of survey respondents indicated they not only want, but want really bad. 'And among those who want, a growing number also demand, feel entitled to, and actually expect.' The study concluded that while more Americans than ever desperately need, fewer than 6 percent of them will ever get.

2	Georgia Unveils New Plan To Issue License Plates Featuring The Confederate Flag As quickly as it began, the Confederate flag controversy seems to have gone silent in the liberal media. The debate started as a response to Dylann Roofs violent actions toward churchgoers in Charleston, SC. In the aftermath of the event, the liberal media started attacking any supporters of the Confederate flagdeeming them racist. In fact, because of protests throughout the United States, flags were removed and statues of Confederate leaders were taken down. All the while, defenders of the flag argued its importance, claiming that it was a symbol of Southern pride, not of racism. Now, NY Daily News reports that Georgia intends to stand behind the symbol. They will soon be rolling out a redesigned license plate featuring the battle flag. This specialty tag is the most attractive license tag that the State of Georgia has to offer, Tim Pilgrim, the division adjutant for the Georgia Sons of Confederate Veterans said in a statement. I would encourage members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and all citizens of Georgia to ask for the newly designedspecialty tag. What do you think of Georgias stand? Do you support their decision?

Despite their attempts to destroy his lead in the polls, these claims are proving to be false time and time again. Recently, Trumps daughter Ivanka Trump stepped forward in defense of her father. She was particularly upset that he was being called sexist, when she claims that she is living proof others. Ivanka told CNN that this image of her father is largely organized by the media. Her father is very blunt and very direct she argued, but is non-gender specific in his claims. Hes always supportive and encouraged women, and, truthfully, hes proven that through decades through his employment practices, through his hiring practices, Ivanka concluded. This comment has been backed up by numerous of Trumps former employees. What do you think? Do you support Trump? 
2	On His 45th Birthday, THIS Is How Mark Wahlberg Celebrated His Faith In Christ Today is Mark Wahlbergs birthday. Wahlberg, an actor and writer, turns 45, and he credits every one of those years to his Lord and savior Jesus Christ. On his birthday, Wahlberg attributes all his 45 years of lifes success to Jesus Christ. I pray every day and try to go to church every day. My faith in God is what makes me a better man, he says. Its the most important part of my life. I pray that I will live up to my intention to be the best husband and father than I can be. Wahlberg knows he has made some mistakes in life. Coming from the mean streets of Boston, he was involved in some youthful exploits that he now regrets. But he knows that Jesus Christ absolves him of his sins, and today he gives extensively to charities across the world, helping misguided kids like himself. He was addicted to cocaine as a teenager, and charged with attempted murder at the age of 16. I did a lot of things that I regret, and I have certainly paid for my mistakes, he said. However, it was Reverend James Flavin who helped him turn his life around. Wahlberg calls Flavin the one person who never gave up on me. Wahlberg says he owes everything to God and His Son, Jesus Christ. I never would have been able to change my life and have the success and love that I have in my world today without my faith, he says. Do you like Mark Wahlberg? Let us know! 
3	Former Marine and Guantanamo Guard Claims the CIA Murdered DetaineesChris Carrington At the time of their deaths, Salah Ahmed Al-Salami, 37, from Yemen, Mani Shaman Al-Utaybi, 30, from Saudi Arabia, and Yasser Talal Al-Zahrani, 22, also from Saudi Arabia, had not been charged with any crimes. In an interview with Vice NewsHickman explained why he thinks the suicide version of events is impossible: He was on duty at Camp Delta on June 9,2006 and saw a high-security vehicle arrive three times. On each occasion, it left containing a prisoner, turning left onto a road that led to only two places, the beach or the CIA holding center. On returning to the campsometime later, the vehicle went directly to the medical facility, and within ten minutes floodlights came on and sirens were wailing. The three men were dead. Hickman approached the Department of Justice in 2009, but the authorities issued a denial of any wrongdoing. Since then, reports of what happened at Gitmo have started to surface, reports that the CIA has tried to prevent reaching the public domain. These reports point to the CIA using torture, degradation and violence to achieve their goals; the same reports suggest that these techniques rarely yield reliable intelligence. 
1	Noting that his income level does not necessitate sharing a single kitchen and bathroom with two other grown men, sources confirmed Wednesday that local 32-year-old Josh Redmayne must be living with roommates completely by choice at this point. Josh has a decent job, so he could definitely afford his own place if he wanted, but I guess hes okay with regularly waiting to watch the TV or take a shower, said friend Nick Baker, speculating that Redmayne evidently prefers to rotate weekly chores and provide the apartments other occupants with advance notice of out-of-town visitors. When his previous roommates moved out, he actually went on Craigslist and found new ones even though he could probably handle paying the entire rent himself. He doesnt seem too upset, either, so clearly theres something about having assigned shelves in the refrigerator that appeals to him. Sources confirmed that Redmayne must also have some affinity for his childhood dresser, which he could easily have replaced years ago. 
3	Cop With Smoking Gun Brags Awesome After Blasting Pet DogAmanda Warren On that day, Cali escaped the backyard fence and a neighbor called animal control to retrieve the dog. Unfortunately, officer Woolly arrived first. You might be aghast when you hear what Woolly said when he bragged and laughed about shooting a dog that was just standing there, and then bragged again about another shooting. Then there is his murderous past and what he told the animal control officer to do next. When officers arrived, someone told them that animal control was on the way. According to a witness, Officer Brice Woolley said, Im not waiting for animal control. He went to his car, got his shotgun, did the deed and then bragged to animal control about how awesome it looked when the collar flew off her neck. Specifically, did you see her collar fly off when I shot her? That was awesome as he laughed. He went on to brag about a dog he shot two days earlier with a pistol. When animal control arrived (who work for the department), Woolly is quoted as saying, We will just write up the report as she was attacking you and other neighbors and blah blah blah. Meaning blah blah blah as in business as usual. But Cali didnt attack, according to witnesses. She certainly didnt pose a threat to the officer who had time to walk to his car, obtain his shotgun, walk back and shoot her directly in the neck, presumably at close range. When Calis owner, Sarah, arrived holding her 6-month-old infant, the officer said: Shes dead. I just shot her. After finding out, Sarah broke down and cried and walked back into her house. Without looking at witness evidence, the department simply told Sarah the officers were in their right when they shot her dog after she went to the office to complain. Officer Brice Woolly has shot and killed a person while working at a previous Oklahoma departmentin Tishomingo. The city had to reach a settlement and let Woolly go.You can see footage and description here. It was someone who took too long to stop and then ran. Woolly was caught lying about the account when the testimony did not match the timing and footage of the dashcam. Somehow, he made it to Ardmore department even after failing psychological exams, and has killed at least two dogs. Warning: Graphic images appear below I am posting these pictures because the owner has posted them publicly to raise awareness of officers gratuitously shooting innocent dogs. Not many of us see the brutal reality of pet owners having to deal with their dead friends in the yard or on the neighborhood street after an officer casually walks away from the gore. The shotgun wound appears to be very close range. Other similar disturbing instances (aside from the hundreds and hundreds of pets who get shot by police each year over 400 one year in Chicago alone. And Milwaukee) include the following: 1) Police are using live injured animals for target practice. For real. If you dont know about this yet you need to. Please drop everything and go here. And 2) a cop shot a mildly injured deer in front of a child when the family tried to take it to a rescue center. He threatened them with force and arrest for even suggesting that they could help. As you can see from that story, the same exact police tactics are being simultaneously deployed both in the U.S. and Canada it didnt just happen, and its not due to lack of training. It is meant to cause trauma and shutdown, especially when there is no threat from the dog to the officer. To date, no on-duty officers have been killed by dogs. This unnecessary andunequivocally psychopathic behavior is important to know about for awareness and safety. Think twice before calling 9/11 when it comes to pets! Talk to your neighbor first. As it happens, the neighbor called animal control which is a part of their police department how could anyone have known that this would happen to Cali? The family is not letting this killing go unheard. To be sure, their petition isnt typical it goes to both Ardmore Police Department and Oklahomas Governor. New Facebook page: Justice for Cali Ardmore Police Department:http://www.ardmorepd.org/ Recent other articles by Amanda Warren And then this cop shot an unarmed person. Perhaps if his callousness in shooting an innocent dog hadnt been dismissed and overlooked, the later tragedy of his murder of a human being would never have happened. 
1	Hoping the detour would ensure he never so much as exchanged one word with that prick from accounting, Peak Industries employee Brian Dahl hastily changed his trip to the kitchen into a trip to the bathroom in order to avoid a despised coworker, sources confirmed Monday. Oh, shit, its Alexokay, Ill just head to the bathroom real quick and wash my hands for a minute or two, the 35-year-old project manager reportedly said to himself after catching sight of his hated colleague making tea, prompting him to swiftly alter his course and veer toward the mens room door. If hes still there when I get out, then the question becomes whether I try to slip by him long enough to grab my lunch out of the fridge or swing by Katies cubicle to chat with her until Im sure hes gone. Or maybe I just go back to my desk and start the kitchen thing over from scratch in 10 minutes. At press time, Dahl was angrily washing his hands while his obnoxious supervisor talked to him from a nearby urinal. 
3	The Ultimate Situational Survival Guide: Self-Reliance Strategies for a Dangerous Worldselfnews Post We live in a world where most people would rather outsource their survival to some random government agency instead of taking the tough, but necessary steps to ensure their own health and safety. But when disaster strikes, the reality of the situation is youre on your own. Help isnt coming. If you think anyone in the government cares what happens to you, youre wrong! In The Ultimate Situational Survival Guide: Self-Reliance Strategies for a Dangerous World, Robert Richardson, author and founder of OffGridSurvival.com, seeks to empower people to take control of their lives, their security, and their personal preparedness. Richardson says, We live in a world full of dependents; people who have either lost the will, or were never taught what it really takes to be self-reliant. Richardson, who has been an emergency preparedness consultant and writer for over a decade, says he wrote the book to help empower people to take control of their lives, and to get people ready for the chaos that he sees coming. The United States is now over 17 trillion dollars in debt, with all signs pointing towards an economic crisis even worse that what we experienced in 2008. In a nation of 317 Million people, over 109 million of them now live in a household that receives some sort of government welfare. Richardson warns that the country as at a tipping point. I think were at a point where theres no longer a way to dig ourselves out of the mess thats been created by decades of criminal politicians. While most remain willfully ignorant of whats really going on, the reality of the situation is this country is heading towards not only an economic collapse, but a collapse of society as well. From an out of control government that cares more about public perception than they do in fixing actual problems, to a checked out public that would rather stand in line for the newest iPhone than take even a single action to help protect themselves from disasters, we are living in an age where self-reliance and preparedness has taken a backseat to just about everything. The Ultimate Situational Survival Guide is a wakeup to anyone who hasnt prepared. This is not another wilderness survival manual, or some government pamphlet on 72-hour survival kits; the book is a step-by-step guide to surviving real-life 21st century threats. From surviving natural disasters, man-made disasters and disease outbreaks, to step-by-step instructions for surviving urban disasters, crime, violence, social unrest and terrorist attacks, readers will learn the self-reliance strategies they need to survive just about any crisis or threat. When disaster hits, do you really want to count on some government agency to protect you and your family? The Ultimate Situational Survival Guide: Self-Reliance Strategies for a Dangerous World is now available, at Amazon, Barnes Noble, Walmart and other major booksellers.

2	Obama Issues Executive Order To Enforce Gun Control Policy After Denial From Congress Obama has just made his move for Gun Control with an issuance of an executive order. His goal is to limit the amount of Americans that have access to guns. This new policy complicates the process of buying guns, and makes it more difficult to buy firearms at gun shows. He has already tried more strict background checks. Gun control is clearly not the answer to our problems. Earlier, Obama issued a gun control bill that failed to pass the Senate. Now he is going off on his own, without the approval of Congress, to get his way. Obama is pushing his agenda, regardless of the impact it will have. The definition of insanity is trying something over and over, expecting to get a different result. Has Obama gone completely insane?

3	Shakedown of Unvaccinated Students Begins in Spokane, WashingtonEric Blair Once identified, the students will be detained along with their parents to be re-educated about vaccines, as well as to receive free jabs to get in compliance with vaccine schedules. I wish this was satire. Presumably, parents will also be provided with the proper waivers to opt out of this medical fascism, but most of those will have to jump through more hoops like getting a health care professional to sign the waiver. According to the Spokesman-Review: This is the first time Washingtons law to exclude children from school is being enforced in the regions largest school district. So far, no other school district has announced plans to take similar steps. [] If parents dont want their child to have shots for personal, philosophical, medical or religious reasons, they have to file a waiver with the district. All but the religious exemption require the signature of a health care professional, attesting that theyve described the benefits and risks of immunizations to the parents. Students who dont provide proof of immunization or a waiver will be removed from class and their parents called to the school. The district will inform the parents what steps need to be taken and about free immunization clinics being offered this week. (emphasis added) The government cannot force people to take medication before using public schools that their taxes paid for. Thats insanely tyrannical. Why is this so difficult for people to see? Australia is attempting to claim this same ownership of their subjects by denying them public services if they dont comply with vaccine schedules. Forced medication is for the common good, the publics health, they tell us. You have no right to your own body or personal health decisions, not if you want to live in a society with the fully vaccinated who are allegedly immune anyway, they tell us. I wonder what medical procedure will be required next for us to gain permission to participate in society? I wonder when natural (unmedicated) humans will be banned from society altogether for the common good of the immune-compromised modified humans? Eric Blair writes and curates news for selfnews Post.

3	What Artificial Intelligence Will Look Like in 2030By Leah Burrows, SEAS Communications Artificial intelligence (AI) has already transformed our livesfrom the autonomous cars on the roads to the robotic vacuums and smart thermostats in our homes. Over the next 15 years, AI technologies will continue to make inroads in nearly every area of our lives, from education to entertainment, health care to security. The question is, are we ready? Do we have the answers to the legal and ethical quandaries that will certainly arise from the increasing integration of AI into our daily lives? Are we even asking the right questions? Now, a panel of academics and industry thinkers has looked ahead to 2030 to forecast how advances in AI might affect life in a typical North American city and spark discussion about how to ensure the safe, fair, and beneficial development of these rapidly developing technologies. Artificial Intelligence and Life in 2030 is the first product of the One Hundred Year Study on Artificial Intelligence (AI100), an ongoing project hosted by Stanford University to inform debate and provide guidance on the ethical development of smart software, sensors, and machines. Every five years for the next 100 years, the AI100 project will release a report that evaluates the status of AI technologies and their potential impact on the world. Barbara Grosz, the Higgins Professor of Natural Sciences at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, chairs the AI100 Standing Committee. Now is the time to consider the design, ethical, and policy challenges that AI technologies raise, said Grosz. If we tackle these issues now and take them seriously, we will have systems that are better designed in the future and more appropriate policies to guide their use. We believe specialized AI applications will become both increasingly common and more useful by 2030, improving our economy and quality of life, said Peter Stone, a computer scientist at the University of Texas, Austin, and chair of the report. But this technology will also create profound challenges, affecting jobs and incomes and other issues that we should begin addressing now to ensure that the benefits of AI are broadly shared. The report investigates eight areas of human activity in which AI technologies are already affecting urban life and will be even more pervasive by 2030: transportation, home/service robots, health care, education, entertainment, low-resource communities, public safety and security, employment, and the workplace. Some of the biggest challenges in the next 15 years will be creating safe and reliable hardware for autonomous cars and health care robots; gaining public trust for AI systems, especially in low-resource communities; and overcoming fears that the technology will marginalize humans in the workplace. Issues of liability and accountability also arise with questions such as: Who is responsible when a self-driven car crashes or an intelligent medical device fails? How can we prevent AI applications from being used for racial discrimination or financial cheating? The report doesnt offer solutions but rather is intended to start a conversation between scientists, ethicists, policymakers, industry leaders, and the general public. Grosz said she hopes the AI 100 report initiates a century-long conversation about ways AI-enhanced technologies might be shaped to improve life and societies. This article first appeared at the Harvard Gazette. The technologies that assist the deep state with killing, war, spying, and the control of populations wont be up for discussion, if that discussion must include them. The only discussion well have is dealing with the revelation theyve used these technologies against us for decades without our knowledge or permission.

3	5 Powerful Healing Properties of GarlicAnthony Gucciardi Ive written about garlic in the past, specifically covering the many ways in which this common food can protect against cancer and infections. While significant (and extremely easy to take advantage of), these are only a few of the key benefits garlic has to offer. Here are the top 5 healing properties of garlic that put many pharmaceutical drugs to shame: If youre serious about your health, it is absolutely essential to boost your natural immunity. After all, your immune system is responsible for crushing biological threats before it turns into a manifested form of sickness. Always getting the flu, a cold, or suffering from a condition that decreases immune function? Its time to get your body in check before a more serious condition takes advantage of this weakness. Garlic has been used for over 5,000 years as a medicinal food, with the Ancient Egyptians and Ancient Greeks revering the food for its ability to fight off illness. Pharmaceutical blood pressure drugs come with a host of side effects, many of which are deadly. Garlic comes with a long list of additional and most likely unexpected benefits. Thanks to the unique way in which garlic is able to affect the smooth muscles of the arteries and therefore cause them to relax and dilate, garlic can directly lower your blood pressure naturally. American scientists first tried garlic against high blood pressure in 1921. Garlic consistently lowers blood pressure in laboratory animals. The Food Pharmacy: Dramatic New Evidence That Food Is Your Best Medicine by Jean Carper While it has been known (and acted upon) by many traditional systems of medicine for thousands of years, Washington State University has confirmed that garlic is actually more effective than pharmaceutical antibiotics in fighting the highly common bacteria known as campylobacter bacterium. It may not mean much when read out loud, but this bacteria currently infects around 2.4 million Americans per year with stomach-related illnesses. As one leading expert explained: People have known garlic was important and has health benefits for centuries, said Dr. David W. Kraus 4. It Effectively Combats Cancer Perhaps the most well-known benefit of garlic is its ability to fight off cancer both effectively and without any side effects. This is believed to be due to the fact that garlic enhances the production of what is known as hydrogen sulfide. This increased production is thought by scientists to be effective in preventing the development of cancer particularly prostate, breast, and colon cancer. It is truly a rare find that mainstream government organizations will recognize non-patented, natural foods for their anti-cancer effect. In the case of garlic (and turmeric), even Cancer.gov admits a clear link between garlic consumption and cancer prevention, writing: Several population studies show an association between increased intake of garlic and reduced risk of certain cancers, including cancers of the stomach, colon, esophagus, pancreas, and breast. Did you know that garlic can help in the elimination of toxins from your body? Toxins, of course, are unwanted contaminants that cover everything from chemicals and heavy metals to parasites. Containing multiple sulfur-containing compounds, garlic is able to stimulate liver enzymes responsible for removing toxins from the body. This is in addition to the allicin and selenium content of garlic, which are two vital nutrients that also assist the liver in fighting off toxic elements.

3	Prison Food Contractors Exposed For Funding Efforts To Ensure People Are Jailed For MarijuanaBy John Vibes Marijuana.com reported that the company donated $80,000 to a campaign committee opposing the legal cannabis measure on Arizonas November ballot. Services Group of America has been criticized in the past for providing food to prisons that failed to meet basic nutritional requirements. The report also indicated that the Arizona state Chamber of Commerce contributed $498,000 to the same campaign week. The effort also received a half million dollar donation from opioid maker Insys Therapeutics as well as sizeable contributions from various players in the alcohol industry. The influence that the alcohol and pharmaceutical industries have on keeping marijuana illegal has been well documented, but the influence of prison contractors is rarely discussed. The prison industry is one of the fastest growing and top-earning businesses in the United States. In the past three decades, this enterprise has grown into a monstrous system of oppression that now houses over 2 and a half million people in the US. This number is, by far, the largest prison population in the world. No country on earth has as many inmates as the land of the free. Ironic isnt it? Since 1991 the violent crime rate in America has dropped at least 20%, while the amount of people in prison has increased by 50% in that time. These numbers show that the rapid growth in the prison population is primarily due to over prosecution of nonviolent crimes. This has nothing to do with cleaning up the streets or making our society safer it is all about money and control. The prison system as it stands now does not make our society any safer but instead turns average nonviolent offenders into hardened criminals by exposing them to such a harsh environment. The sad truth is that the way our prison system has been structured has actually outlawed more than half of the US population. Nonviolent offenders have no place behind bars. The savage conditions of prison will turn most people into violent offenders once they get out. Which is exactly what the prison establishment wants return customers. This establishment is the collection of state and quasi-state/private industries that make up the prison industrial complex. Billions of dollars are made every year in this industry. One company, Wackenhut Corrections, makes over a billion dollars a year and they arent even the biggest prison service in the country. These numbers also dont take into consideration the many satellite businesses that surround this industry. There are over 1,000 vendors that specifically sell correctional paraphernalia. Even local phone companies cash in on the operation. The companies install payphones for free because those phones can generate $15,000 per year from each inmate making a phone call every day. Those companies are just the tip of the iceberg. That isnt even counting the police, lawyers, wardens, politicians and food distributors that line their pockets through the incarceration of peaceful Americans. All of these organizations have a distinct interest in keeping nonviolent people in jail. So, it should come as no surprise a prison contractor is working to keep marijuana illegal. They deserve to serve time in their own prisons, in the general prison pop.along with some of the people that they put in thereHmmm I wonder how long theyd still be breathing? but solitary with life sentences for depraved indifference- malice of forethought- conspiracy of course Crimes Against Humanity would be apropos (imo) Ive known this for a long time. Its amazing how many Industries ganged up on Marijuana and Hemp, although WWII was a reprieve for the Hemp Industry as every good Sailor, Hangman and Roofer knows, Hemp rope is the very best rope. In fact, when its time for the Saturday Night Air-Dance comes for these scum, I recommend 100% Organic Hemp Neckties. The Music provided will be Swing Music, of course. Heres a little thing I did in Photoshop a few years ago when Mr. Harper was PM of Canada. He wanted to establish a luverly Privatized Prison System just like the good ole USA, being a Bohemian Grove participant an all.

2	Obama Announces He Will House Illegal Immigrants At Military Bases Its official, President Barack Obama has lost his mind. According to recent reports, he is now aiming to begin housing illegal immigrants at military bases. Reports indicate that the Pentagon has started site assessments at bases that span as far north as North Dakota and Massachusetts. The effort is part of an emergency plan to house the children and families that have been flowing into the country under Obamas watch. A military base is no place to house illegal immigrant children, Rep. Martha Roby of Alabama wrote in a memo to the Pentagon. Bases like Maxwell are engaged in real military activitiestraining, education, cyber warfaremany times in classified settings that are very sensitive. Their mission does not need to be distracted by housing, feeding and securing hundred of detainees. Robys arguments echo the concerns of Americans and leaders throughout the country. We shut it down the first time and we are working every angle to shut it down again, Roby confirmed. What do you think? Are you tired of Obama putting our security at risk? 
1	According to a groundbreaking new study by the Department of Labor, workingthe physical act of engaging in a productive job-related activitymay greatly increase the amount of work accomplished during the workday, especially when compared with the more common practices of wasting time and not working. An American worker can triple his work output by working. 'Our findings are astounding: By simply sitting down and doing work, employees can dramatically increase their output of goods and services,' said Deputy Undersecretary of Labor Charlotte Ponticelli, who authored the report. 'In fact, 'working' may revolutionize the way people work.' Perhaps even more shocking, the study reveals that not working significantly decreases worker productivity, sometimes even resulting in no work getting done at all. Similar findings were reported in the areas of avoiding work, putting off work, complaining about work instead of actually working, pretending to work, and fucking around. 'Fucking around is in fact detrimental to the work process,' the study reads in part. To conduct the study, researchers split the staff of a Washington-based insurance company into two groups and assigned each group a series of tasks to be completed by the end of the day. The control group engaged in normal workplace activities, such as standing around and talking, staring vacantly at the computer screen, and surfing the Internet. The other group was instructed to do work and complete its given tasks. Incredibly, the group that did not do any work failed to get any work done, while the group that did do work finished all the work. The researchers believe that these lessons could possibly be applied to fields outside the insurance industry. Typical workplace activities, such as shooting the shit, turn out to be less productive than not wasting time. 'Based on the study, we can safely conclude that if an employee's job is to process expense reports, doing a crossword puzzle will result in the successful completion of that task zero times out of 100, while processing expense reports will result in the successful completion of that task 100 times out of 100,' head researcher Richard Schoemberg said. Jon Halper, a Baltimore-area small-business owner, claims that people used to laugh whenever he told them that the key to worker productivity was not checking friends' MySpace pages for hours at a time, but rather working. 'After this study, I feel vindicated,' said Halper, who believes working is so important that for years he has required all his employees to work throughout the day. 'Hopefully, more companies will embrace the idea that employees working on things that they are supposed to do is practically essential.' A similar study conducted at Harvard University over a period of three years attempted to determine conclusively whether working was more productive than various different subsets of not working. The results showed across the board that working is 100 percent more productive than listening to music and checking e-mails, 100 percent more productive than meandering around the office socializing with coworkers, 100 percent more productive than playing online Sudoku, 100 percent more productive than watching YouTube videos of nostalgic childhood television programming, 100 percent more productive than reading celebrity-gossip blogs while chatting with friends on Instant Messenger, 100 percent more productive than napping, and 98.2 percent more productive than not showing up to work. Despite the staggering new findings, many American workers say that they still do not feel comfortable working on the job. 'I love coming into work every day,' Arlington, VA sales manager Bryce Davidson said. 'I get to have great conversations with [office receptionist] Sandy, challenge myself with Yahoo! TextTwist, and still have time to set my fantasy-football roster. Why would I want to ruin work by working?' 
2	What Obama Did After The Super Bowl Once again, President Barack Obama is putting his ego before his responsibilities. Following the Super Bowl, Obama took the time to make a comedic appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. His appearance, which likely cost some serious American tax dollars, included a few jokes about football. First Lady Michelle Obama was anxious to get in on the fun as well. Time and time again, the Obamas prove that they are not taking their jobs seriously. There are major issues at hand, but theyre too busy taking vacations and making Hollywood appearances. What do you think? Are you sick of this? Do we need a true leader in the White House?

3	Facebook And Israel Officially Announce Collaboration To Censor Social Media ContentBy Whitney Webb The success of BDS has struck a nerve with Israel, leading its government to pass legislation allowing it to spy on and deport foreign activists operating within Israel and Palestine. Israel has also threatened the lives of BDS supporters and has lobbied for legislative measures against BDS around the world. They are now seeking to curtail any further BDS success by directly controlling the content of Facebook users. However, Facebooks formal acknowledgement of its relationship with Israels government is only the latest step in an accord that has been in the works for months. In June of this year, Facebooks Israel office hired Jordana Cutler as head of policy and communications. Cutler is a longtime adviser to Netanyahu and, before her recent hire at Facebook, was Chief of Staff at the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC. Facebook may have been intimidated into the arrangement by Gilad Erdan, Israeli Minister of Public Security, Strategic Affairs, and Information, who threatened to enact legislation, in Israel and abroad, that would place responsibility on Facebook for attacks incited by its social media content. Erdan has previously said that Facebook has a responsibility to monitor is platform and remove content. In addition, as the Intercept reported in June, Israel actively reviews the content of Palestinian Facebook posts and has even arrested some Palestinians for posts on the social media site. They then forward the requests for censorship to Facebook, who accepts the requests 95% of the time. In what is an obvious and troubling disparity, Facebook posts inciting violence against Palestinians are surprisingly common and Facebook rarely censors these posts. According to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Glenn Greenwald, this disparity underscores the severe dangers of having our public discourse overtaken, regulated, and controlled by a tiny number of unaccountable teach giants. With Facebook arguably functioning as the most dominant force in journalism, its control over the flow of information is significant. The fact that a private company with such enormous influence has partnered with a government to censor its opponents is an undeniable step towards social media fascism. Though social media was once heralded as a revolutionary opportunity to allow regular people to share information globally and to politically organize for grassroots change, allowing governments to censor their opposition threatens to transform it into something else entirely.

You have permission to republish this article under a Creative Commons license with attribution to the author and Trueselfnews.com Top Image Credit www.wb7.hk Lets see; I think we need to worry more about this rabidly xenophobic, apartheid, serially ethnic cleansing, self-proclaimed democracy with nuclear weapons, whats not to love about Israel? You forgot . Their monotheistic ONE ONLY god is a WAR god. Deuteronomy 7:16, 20:16 And thou shalt consume all the peoples which the Lord thy God shall deliver unto thee; thine eye shall not pity themthou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth. Again, Israel puts itself in the spot light forcing the world to have another reason to increase movements like the BDS. People still use Facebook? Between the endless selfies and negative propaganda memes its not fun. Idiots do. Im sure thats not the point. With Facebook arguably functioning as the most dominant force in journalism, its control over the flow of information is significant. Not for long You saw what happened in the early days of YouTube when they attempted to employ heave-handed cencorship Im sorry, but I thought they both were the same already? So, we see the results of Marks and the U.S. securities industry conference in China last year with Chinese Internet and security officials (western corporations wanted to be taught by the masters). Now they are truly all in the family. FACEBOOK is a PLACE OF PUBLIC GATHERING. Great, more anti-Israel garbage. BDS is for low-information liberals and Muslims. .By deception thou shalt do (information) war . . . . .Ring a bell? What ACTIVIST POST shows us here is the opinion of a political sect within the left, which you could also find on any right-wing Israel hating forum. And, of course, the headline is wrong, because Facebook made cooperations to fight hate speech on the Internet with several states. So, Facebook And Israel Officially Announce Collaboration To Censor Social Media Content looks very much like some typical Strmer lies.

1	Early reviews confirmed Thursday that X-Men: Days Of Future Past, the latest installment in the popular superhero film series, prominently features a storyline in which director Bryan Singer journeys through a portal in the space-time continuum to an earlier era, where he coerces his 16-year-old self into sexual intercourse. Hey, I work in moviesyou have any interest in Hollywood? the director reportedly says in the film, caressing his teenage selfs shoulder in a scene preceded by a montage that includes Singer frantically searching for a coke dealer on the Lower East Side and attempting to contact older studio executives for a wild party later that night. Theres going to be a little get-together in my hotel room at the Ritz later on. Tons of kids like you will be there, and a few showbiz bigwigs. Let me tell you, with a face like that, I can make big things happen for you. I really mean it. Several reports indicated that the latter portion of the movies plotline focuses on Singer locked in a pulse-pounding race against time to prevent his adolescent self from filing sexual assault charges and destroying his career. 
3	Is Ukraine The Next In Line For Default?By Brandon Turbeville Around the end of July, approximately $15.3 billion dollars of bonds will be due to be paid to a wide variety of creditors government, IMF, and private holders. On July 26, however, Ukraine will be unable to pay the money it owes to those creditors. Interestingly enough, when the Greek default hung in the air along with the possibility of the continued rejection of IMF austerity measures, compounded with the likelihood that the Greeks would begin to pursue a new policy of independence, sovereignty, and dirigism, the result was media and financier panic. That panic is not being played out over the Western airwaves when it comes to the question of Ukraine, however. Indeed, another curious aspect to the looming Ukrainian default is the apparent haggling and scrambling on the part of the IMF to ensure that the country continues to implement austerity, pay its private creditors (except Russia), and pay the IMF while staying afloat, at least on paper. After all, when the Greeks announced (as the IMF later admitted in its own report) that the debt it owed was unpayable and unserviceable, the reactions from the IMF and the Eurogarchs were quite different either make all the payments and implement all the austerity measures or face the wrath of the world financial elite. The reason for the attempt at continued flotation of the Ukrainian state (not at the cost of austerity and privatization of course) might be because Ukraine is a necessary component to the Western strategy of aggression against Russia and the destruction of Novorossiya, a goal unlikely to be accomplished if the state collapses in on itself entirely. However, the IMF and Western financier oligarchs have long drooled over the idea of privatizing Ukrainian factories, farmland, and essential services, a process that was already set in motion but which will be certainly accelerated if the Ukrainian government defaults on its loans. So the desire to keep the country afloat for destabilization and war purposes will likely be balanced with the desire to gut and privatize it. Interestingly enough, most of these loans are actually due to private creditors from the United States who have refused to take any haircut on the bonds they purchased before the Western-backed coup took place in Ukraine. Still, the IMF Managing Director and her Deputy have since announced that it plans to continue its scheduled $17.5 billion support program so long as the country continues to implement the prescribed austerity policies and restructuring requirements. Regardless, Ukraine is in serious trouble. As Jackson Diehl of the Washington Post writes, Thus, it looks like Europe and the world might nowwitness a Ukraine default only weeks after the Greek one. How this situation will be handled is anyones guess but we have to wonder whether or not the double team effort of the IMF and the US creditors is merely an attempt to impose emergency measure upon Ukraine and its governing structure so that it will more easily accept the crushing austerity measures and privatization schemes the IMF wishes to impose. Of course, there is also the possibility that the necessary lifeline of temporary credit will be extended so as to continue to use Ukraine as a spearhead against Russia. What is known, however, is that neither the IMF nor international financiers tend to miss out on an opportunity to rape a nation over debts manufactured from thin air, especially when such an opportunity increases the power of those institutions over the nation and its people.

Black Swans hatching all around the world 
1	Busy dealing with important paperwork and other vice presidential duties in recent weeks, Dick Cheney was forced to put off until the last minute a cherished annual tradition: gift-shopping for his favorite holiday, 9/11. 'I looked at the calendar yesterday, and I couldn't believe my eyes9/11 is almost here!' a rosy-cheeked Cheney said upon returning to the White House Sunday with two giant bags overflowing with gift-wrapped boxes and big red bows. 'It's the most wonderful time of the year.' The vice president strolls happily down New York's Park Avenue, picking up the last few 9/11 presents for his friends at the Pentagon. While Cheney is known by many to be cold and taciturn for the other 11 months of the year, those close to the vice president say there is something about the 9/11 season that puts a smile on his face and a spring in his step. Each Sept. 11 morning since 2001, Cheney has come to work donning a fireman costume and handed out small, thoughtful gifts to all White House staffers. In addition, at his home on 9/11 Eve, Cheney lays out large piles of presents for his children and grandchildren underneath the colorfully lit, six-foot-tall 9/11 towers that he sets up by the fireplace. 'I think I've outdone myself this yearI bought the president a box of cigars and a brand-new fountain pen, I got Condoleezza [Rice] a beautiful blue blazer, and for my wife [Lynne] I bought a diamond necklace, a new winter coat, and this neat little motorized airplane ornament to hang on the 9/11 towers,' Cheney told reporters while perusing the windows of New York's famed Park Avenue shops. 'And for [grandson] Samuel I bought about a million toys and games and 9/11 nutcrackers. I probably went a little bit overboard, but it's his first 9/11, and I want it to be as special as my first 9/11.' The vice president then reiterated how fortunate he was to have received his big 9/11 bonus early this year. A copy of the card Cheney sends to all family, friends, and widows of 9/11. Although Cheney himself has never received any Sept. 11 gifts, with the exception of a pair of silk pajamas from his wife and a second term in office, he insisted that he gets more joy from giving than receiving. According to Cheney, Sept. 11 is a time to reflect and give thanks for all the benefits and blessings 9/11 has given him in the past. Cheney, however, lamented the fact that he has seen a recent decline in the nation's 9/11 spirit. 'I don't know what's happened,' Cheney said. 'Less than seven years ago, 9/11 seemed like a huge event for every American. Back then, on Sept. 11 morning, everyone would dart downstairs at 8:46 a.m. sharp, shouting and screaming, and the ground outside would be blanketed in the most beautiful gray as far as the eye could see. I especially loved the streets of New York during this seasonthe lights, the sounds, people rushing every which way, the sidewalks so crowded you could barely move, the wide-eyed looks on the people's faces. The whole New York skyline was lit up like a Christmas tree.' Cheney then sighed happily, adding, 'I wish every day were 9/11.' While he's disappointed that so many seem to have forgotten the lessons of his beloved holiday, the vice president said he simply could not stay sad with 9/11 just around the corner. Lynne Cheney told reporters she expects her husband will once again go overboard in his celebrations this year, buying a larger 9/11 front-yard display and making himself sick eating too many broken Pentagon cookies. 'He really gets into it,' she said as her husband cheerfully decorated the Blue Room of the White House with pieces of smoldering cinder and charred flesh to recreate the setting of Ground Zero. 'I try to tell him that it's just a silly holiday, that he's making a fool out of himself when he goes around shouting 'Happy Sept. 11!' to people while ringing a large bell, but he never listens. He just loves 9/11.' But amid all the decorating and gift-giving, Vice President Cheney is careful not to let all the 9/11 festivities distract him from the deeper significance the day holds. 'Sometimes, in all the hustle and bustle of the season, it's easy to forget the true meaning of Sept. 11,' Cheney said. 'Sept. 11 is not about fancy 9/11 parades, or big 9/11 office parties. In fact, it's not even just about two buildings crumbling to the ground and leaving thousands of innocent people dead.' 'No,' Cheney continued. 'No, 9/11 is about the warm feeling you get when you help an elderly woman cross the street and then whisper to her that the terrorists can strike at any moment. 9/11 is about the satisfaction of telling people to do things and then them doing itnot because they want to, but because they are afraid to do otherwise. 9/11 is about removing Saddam Hussein from power. But most of all, 9/11 is about love.' Cheney said he plans to spend a quiet Sept. 11 at home this year, during which he will exchange gifts with loved ones and watch his taped VHS footage of the old 9/11 TV specials while he smiles and laughs. 'I have a feeling this is going to be the best Sept. 11 ever,' Cheney said with a grin. 'I just dread the day I have to tell my kids that 9/11 isn't real.' 
2	El Chapo, Mexican Drug King Pin Finally Captured Donald Trump is no stranger to criticism, so when Mexican fugitive El Chapo threatened him, he was determined not to back down. Keep f***ing around and Im gonna make you swallow your b*tch words you f***ing whitey milks**ter, El Chapo tweeted to the presidential hopeful. Im fighting for much more than myself, Trump told TMZ in response. Im fighting for the future of our country which is being overrun by criminals. Now, it appears that the threat of El Chapo is no longer Trumps problem anyway. Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto just tweeted that the infamous drug lord has been captured. Mission accomplished: We have him, he began. I want to inform the Mexicans that Joaquin Guzman Loera has been detained. No further details about the arrest have been released, although a United States law enforcement official has also confirmed his capture. There has been an active manhunt for Guzman ever since he escaped from the Altiplano prison near Mexico City in July. 
1	Following the Yankees' 13-4 loss Monday, starting pitcher Mike Mussina informed reporters that his latest submission to McSweeney's, a niche literary journal and humor website founded by Dave Eggers, had been rejected. According to Mussina (13-7, 3.56), the piece was entitled 'Discarded Titles For Hunter S. Thompson's Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas,' and included such examples as 'Dread And Abhorring In Las Vegas,' 'Trepidation And Disliking In Las Vegas,' and, in what Mussina described as a 'bit of a switch,' 'Fear And Loathing In St. Paul, Minnesota.' Mussina said he submitted the piecehis seventh attempt overalllast Thursday, and received an e-mail reply Monday morning notifying him that it had not been selected. Nonetheless, Mussina's spirits remain high, and he is reportedly looking forward to composing and submitting many more lists, sestinas, and open letters in the coming months. 'I was thinking of doing a list called, 'Children's Board Game Manufacturer Or Major League Baseball Player?' where 'Milton Bradley' could be the 'both' answer, cuz they always do the thing where one of them is 'both,' but then I couldn't come up with any other examples that sounded close,' Mussina told reporters at his locker Monday night. 'Also, I don't want them to think that just because I'm a baseball player, I can only do baseball-themed ones. I want to get outside my comfort zone.' Mussina's past submissions include 'Insults That Would Only Work If You Were Talking To The Leucadendron Genus Of Plants,' 'Sequel Titles To Famous Revolutionary War Battles,' and 'Companies With Hard-To-Remember 1-800 Numbers,' which he admits he built around the idea of one of the examples being '8347826, Inc.' According to Mussina, he has received swift and polite e-mail replies to his submissions ranging from 'I thank you for taking the time to submit, but I'm afraid we're going to have to pass on this one' to 'I'm going to pass on this one, but I thank you for the look.' 'The guy seems like a really nice guy,' Mussina said of the submissions overseer who has sent him the replies. 'My last one, he said it was 'Pretty clever, but I'm going to have to pass in the end.' That means I'm pretty close, I think. His name is John Warner.' Mussina was first introduced to the website in April, when Yankee closer Mariano Rivera sent out a mass e-mail urging teammates to 'check out his latest McSweeney's piece,' a 'short imagined monologue' written by a toaster. Mussina, who while in the minor leagues frequently submitted to Baltimore's alternative weekly City Paper, said that the site's absurd yet restrained writing style instantly resonated with him. 'I like the meta stuff,' Mussina said. 'There's this one thing they did called 'Butterball Help-Line Help-Line.' It's really funny. I almost e-mailed the girl who wrote it, but then I didn't.' Although Mussina had not initially considered submitting, he was surprised to find that in the weeks after first visiting the site, ideas which he described as 'McSweeney's-esque' kept popping into his head. 'Sometimes the best ideas come to you on the mound,' Mussina said. 'That's why I always carry around my little black notebook on the field.' 'The one I really thought had a pretty good chance to get in was this open letter I did called, 'An Open Letter To That Guy From The 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' Video Who's Not Bobby McFerrin Or Robin Williams,'' Mussina continued. 'It was like talking about how he was underutilized and underappreciated in the video, but he was the glue that held it together, sarcastic stuff like that. Mostly the funny part is that in the title, the way I refer to him.' 'Boy, it'd be awesome to get a list in and see my name up there on the Internet,' Mussina added. 'My parents would be so proud. They probably wouldn't get it, though.' Mussina's recent foray into the world of online writing has also made him view some of his teammates in a different light. 'Jason [Giambi] is just so naturally funny,' Mussina said. 'I keep telling him he should submit. But he's more of a performer. He'll come up with the funniest things off the top of his head. Me, I prefer sitting in front of a computer for two, three hours, and really sort of crafting the jokes. Jason could do it if he wanted, though. He's really, really funny.' 'My next submission I think has a really good shot of getting in'Works Of Ernest Hemingway If Hemingway Were A Robot,'' Mussina added. 'You got your obvious ones like 'The Amperage Also Rises,' and 'A Farewell To Cybernetic Arms.' Then Joba [Chamberlain], in the bullpen the other day jokingly suggested 'The Old Robot And The Sea,' which at first I thought was stupid. But the more I thought about it, it actually might be pretty funny to just sort of point out the inherent absurdity of the original premise. Joba's a funnier guy than he thinks.' McSweeney's Internet Tendency web editor John Warner confirmed that he has received multiple submissions from the e-mail address mooseman35@yahoo.com. 'Mike has some good ideas,' Warner said. 'I was strongly tempted to select his last piece, but I'm afraid that I didn't see it as a fit for us. I wish him luck in placing it elsewhere, and encourage him to continue submitting.' Mussina plans to send his latest rejected McSweeney's submission to the New Yorker's 'Shouts & Murmurs' section, which has published three of Mussina's pieces in the past two months. 
3	The secrecy surrounding the governments illegal spying has reached the point of complete absurdityMadison Ruppert, Contributor Keep in mind that the FISA Amendments Act was recently reauthorized for another five years, thus enabling even more illegal warrantless surveillance which is growing at an exponential rate. Some might find it noteworthy that anything was released at all given the fact that a federal judge ruled the Obama administration never has to explain why they claim it is legal to assassinate Americans without charge or trial, while still being able to claim it is legal to do so. The so-called compliance with the EFFs FOIA request is nothing short of laughable. Even when they claim to be responsive to the request, everything except a single sentence and the cover page has been redacted from the document. The Government has provided copies of the opinions and the filings by the Government to this Committee, and the Government will continue to inform the Committee about developments in this manner. Contrary to the misleading headline of Tech Dirts article, which indicates that the EFF received a document about the secret interpretation of FISA, the EFF revealed, the governments secrecy claims are so extreme that it filed to release, even in entirely redacted form, the actual FISC opinions EFF requested. The records released by the government were just summaries (albeit wholly-redacted ones) of those FISC opinions that were provided to Congressional intelligence committees, Mark Rumold adds, writing for the EFF. The governments position on this law is nothing short of mind bending. Despite the fact that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) opinions remain completely secret, both the executive branch and individuals in the Senate have claimed that the secret opinions do not constitute the law or secret law. Senator Dianne Feinstein, for example, when opposing the amendment to the FISA Amendments Act proposed by Senator Jeff Merkley which would given at least a slight bit of exposure to the secret law, made some quite nonsensical statements. Nevertheless, I am concerned that what is happening is the term secret law is being confused with what the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court issues in the form of classified opinions based on classified intelligence programs, Feinstein said. The EFF points out that Feinsteins statement is strikingly similar to that of the Department of Justice in a brief issued in the EFFs PATRIOT Act Section 215 FOIA case. That case was also dealing with a secret interpretation of a surveillance law. In the brief, the Department of Justice claimed that the EFF has attempted to conflate the meaning of the word secret in the phrase secret law with the use of the word secret for national security purposes. Yet, as the EFF rightly points out, such a claim is without merit since, this much is clear: when a court issues an opinion containing a significant interpretation of a public statute, that courts opinion is the law. When the courts opinion is withheld from the public, that opinion is a secret, even if the statute the opinion interprets is already publicly available, they continue. Because a courts opinion constitutes the law, refusing to disclose those opinions to the public results in secret law. If youre confused, you should be. The simple fact is this: since the interpretation of the law is secret and the interpretation essentially becomes the law, the law itself is secret. Why the government claims they have the ability to keep the law secret is wholly irrelevant. The EFF rightly contends that the only relevant issue is the public disclosure of the law. In this case, the government is doing everything they can, even responding to FOIA requests in an absurd manner such as this, to avoid such disclosure. I must say that I agree with the EFF in joining Senators Merkley, Wyden, Udall, Paul, and the other 33 Senators that voted to support this simple principle: when the government interprets federal surveillance law in a way that fundamentally affects citizens rights, that interpretation must be disclosed. While the battle was lost in Congress in attempting to get some semblance of transparency before the legislation was reauthorized in 2012, groups like the EFF are continuing to fight for the publics right to know in court. I would argue, however, that just fighting this battle in the courts is not enough. This battle must also be fought in the court of public opinion. Without garnering the support of everyday people who are having their rights trampled upon, the government likely will be able to continue to flout the law in ways as brazen as this. It seems that the best way to accomplish that is, at least in my estimation, to educate the public on this secret law, how it is being used, and just how illegal it is. The public must know just how little the government cares about their rights and how laughable their so-called transparency really is.

1	After more than a week of political protests, bloodshed, and cultural upheaval in Egypt, analysts are holding out hope that the Egyptian people will get something more out of the whole ordeal than just democracy. 'While having a truly representative system of government would be an improvement, you'd like to think after all they've been through the people of Egypt could be rewarded with something better than that,' said Brookings Institution senior fellow Kenneth Pollack, adding that having a form of government in which power is derived from the people 'isn't all it's cracked up to be.' 'They suffered under Mubarak for 30 years and this is the consolation prize they get? Democracy? At least give them all new jobs, or $5,000 in cash. Something.' At press time, Brookings fellows were pooling some money together to buy the city of Cairo a 'first-rate' new zoo. 
2	US Olympian Refuses To Put Her Hand Over Her Heart During National Anthem This week, Olympian Gabby Douglas sparked outrage on social media when she neglected to place her hand over her heart during the National Anthem as part of the U.S. womens gymnastics team. According to reports, Douglas had her hands to her side while the rest of her teammates held their hands over their hearts while The Star-Spangled Banner played. Many Americans took to social media to express their outrage at the lack of respect for our country on national television. Would love to know why Gabby Douglas didnt have her hand over her heart during the national anthem, she got to compete for her country #USA, Kayla Shults tweeted. I get youre pissed at something Gabby Douglas, but show some pride respect put your hand over your heart #USA, Max Johnson tweeted. Gabby Douglas just standing there and not placing her hand over her heart while our anthem played was UN-olympic #respect #rio2016, Dawn Wisdom commented. Following the criticism, Douglas took to her own Twitter account to claim she never meant any disrespect. In response to a few tweets I saw tonight, I always stand at attention out of respect for our country whenever the national anthem is played, she wrote. I never meant any disrespect and apologize if I offended anyone. Im so overwhelmed at what our team accomplished today and overjoyed that we were able to bring home another gold for our country! What do you think? Was this an honest mistake on Douglas part or was she trying to communicate something more? 
3	Tony Robbins Puts National Debt in PerspectiveYoutube 
1	Delirium swept the nation this summer as the release of the seventh and final Harry Potter novel sent millions of Americans into a frenzy over some little wizard boy and all his flying wizard buddies going on another one of their little wizard adventures. WIZARD FEVER: Just look at all the people in their pointy wizard hats. Thousands lined up at bookstores to purchase the fanciful tale, which chronicles the exploits of the adolescent wizard with his pointy hat and glasses, as he and his magical little friends go traipsing into the forbidden forest and attempt to defeat the evil Hufflestuff people with the sword of destiny, magic potions, and other such fantasy dragon bullshit. 'I can't wait to see what happens to Harry!' said Boston resident Julie Nolsteen, 28, just one of many grown adults with an unbridled desire to read about child sorcerers playing with their little cauldrons and frolicking around reciting magical spells. Nolsteen proceeded to rub her hands together with anticipation and ponder the fate of her favorite character, some guy named Dumblededoo or something. The entire nation has been all worked up ever since J.K. Rowling announced that she would be concluding the series, with men and women waiting with bated breath to see if all the tiny little wizards were going to do all their crazy magic curses again. Message boards flooded with comments from fans who eagerly wondered whether the wizard boy was going to be eaten by mean old witches, or if he and all his mystical pals were going to find the fairy crystal and have themselves a grand old wizard time. 'This is the most important book in the history of literature,' wrote one man wearing a robe with moons and stars on it, who was clearly unable to conceal his enthusiasm for flying horses and magic dust. 'I hope Lord Voldemort loses!' Although the fervor has subsided since the book's release this summer, the promise of a new Harry Potter film next year has already gotten the whole country excited beyond all reason to see the little wizard boy fly around on his little broomstick for two and a half hours. 
2	War On Cops Continues: White Cop Gunned Down By Black Thug... Media Is Silent According to recent reports, Philadelphia police officer James McCullough was recently released from the hospital after being shot. His attacker has been taken into custody. McCullough gave reporters a thumbs up as he made his way out of Penn Presbyterian Medical Center. 23-year-old Scott Griffin was arrested on Monday, and is now facing attempted murder and robbery charges. Police say he was in the possession of a gun. We are not sure its the weapon, Capt. James Clark of the Homicide Unit told reporters. We believe that is, but we obviously are waiting for ballistics to find out. Police say Griffin opened fire on 24-year-old McCullough, hitting him once in the leg. Griffin already has a long record, and has been arrested 14 times. The shooting followed a robbery and carjacking in the area. Police believe that Griffin robbed a man in the 5900 block of Market Street, and then continued on to carjack a woman at gunpoint at Salford and Market. The woman flagged down officers, and McCullough got into a struggle with Griffin, who ran away and opened fire. Its a dangerous job, but they do it with pride and professionalism, and were very proud of them, Ross told reporters. And again, were very thankful that he is going to be okay. What do you think of this incident? 
1	Following Monday's deadly terrorist attack on a Carnival Cruise Line ship, U.S. officials have had difficulty issuing a stern condemnation of the incident, saying that while any act of terrorism is inexcusable, they couldn't completely blame al-Qaeda for wanting to blow up what is essentially a giant, floating symbol of everything that is truly god-awful about America. The ship, a 15-deck, $740 million vessel that slowly traveled up and down the Atlantic Ocean while its passengers continuously ate and drankreferred to by Carnival as a 'fun ship'was destroyed in an act U.S. authorities have said is 'not completely senseless' and 'actually makes a pretty solid point about American excess run amuck.' 'Terrorism is a crime against humanity for which there can never be any justification,' Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told reporters. 'But then again, so is a 130,000-ton boat with an indoor ice skating rink, 24-hour buffet access, and a dance club called the Caliente Lounge. To condemn al-Qaeda outright for this attack would be to ignore the fact that, well, you can't really argue with them on this one.' Homeland Security officials said the biggest shame is that the terrorists actually had to endure the cruise for a few days before bombing it. 'Those things are really just atrocious,' Napolitano added. DHS officials said the understandable act of terrorism occurred at 1:24 p.m., just as cruise director Harold Granger was attempting to get everyone off their pool chairs to dance the Macarena. At that point, 19 coordinated explosions ripped through the ship's most populated areas, including the Ocean Plaza Bar, the Wet 'n' Wild water park, and the Burgundy Lounge, where, according to the DHS report, 'the sort of Americans who typically go on these things' were learning how to get good deals on jewelry in the Bahamas. Following the deadly explosion, al-Qaeda leaders immediately took credit for the attack; and after information surfaced that comedian and featured Carnival Cruise performer Bill Bellamy was killed in the blast, U.S. leaders gave al-Qaeda even more credit for the attack. 'Yes, violent extremism against our people will not be tolerated, but come on, if there's one thing that has no reason at all for existing, it's cruise ships,' CIA director Leon Panetta told reporters. 'Imagine you come from a dirt-poor country that can't afford running water, and then you see more than 3,000 gluttonous pigs scarfing down all-you-can-eat French toast and whining because nobody told them there was whale-watching in Cozumel. Hell, you'd want to blow up the thing, too.' 'I mean, have you ever been on a cruise?' Panetta added. 'Jesus Christ.' When asked if the CIA had any prior information about the terrorist attack, Panetta questioned if one could really call the destruction of a horrible thing that offends the very core of what it means to be human 'terrorism.' Foreign leaders in France, Britain, and Germany, as well as citizens in the Carnival Cruise port city of St. Thomas, have joined the U.S. in issuing strongly worded statements of their own, saying that the suspected architect of the attack, Ayman al-Zawahiri, did the United States a huge favor. In addition, sources in the State Department said their only problem with the strike was that it wasn't on a Disney cruise ship, which they claimed would have allowed al-Qaeda to kill two birds with one stone. 'The thing had a 70,000-watt sound system and an LED jumbo-sized television screen the size of Mexico hanging over the pool deck, for crying out loud,' U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said. 'It deserved to go up in flames. And, frankly, so does anyone who can get that excited about duty-free cigarettes.' Thus far, Americans have praised President Obama's calm in the wake of the tragedy. According to a CNN poll, 95 percent of U.S. citizens who wouldn't be caught dead on a cruise ship said he made the right decision to continue reading to schoolchildren upon hearing news of the blast. 'Typically I would say that if we don't move on and go about our daily lives, then the terrorists will win,' Obama said during a late-day announcement. 'But if this stops just one U.S. citizen from booking a 10-day getaway on one of those abominations, then I am happy to cede victory to al-Qaeda on this one. Congratulations, al-Qaeda. And thank you.' 
3	New Police device in Oklahoma Underscores Need for Asset Forfeiture ReformBy TJ Martinell The state of Oklahoma was given a terrible rating by the Institute for Justice in 2010 for their restrictive civil asset forfeiture laws. With the new electronic asset forfeiture device, it has actually taken terrible to the next level. According to News 9, the state is paying the devices creator $5,000 for the software and scanners, as well as nearly 8 percent of all the seized cash. The device is known as ERAD, or Electronic Recovery and Access to Data machine. The state highway patrol currently has 16 in their possession. Often, the federal government funds this type of technology, although in this case it appears all of the funding came from in-state. Regardless of how law Oklahoma law enforcement funded the device, there is a simple way to limit its use through reform of state asset forfeiture laws. SB838 cosponsored by Sen. Kyle Loveless (R-Oklahoma City) and Rep. Jon Echols (R-Oklahoma City) would have made the use of this device illegal by requiring a criminal conviction before the state could take private property. The bill would have amended Oklahoma state law to read as follows: Any property or thing of value of a person is subject to forfeiture if it is established by clear and convincing evidence that [it] was acquired by such person during the period of the violation of the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act or within a reasonable time after such period and there was no likely source for such property or thing of value other than the violation of the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act. A party to a forfeiture action under this section shall be entitled to a trial by jury. A trial related to a forfeiture action shall be held in a single proceeding with the trial of the related alleged crime unless the defendant moves to bifurcate the trial. Unfortunately, the bill failed to muster so much as a public hearing. The bill also contained a loophole allowing asset forfeiture to occur if the cases were handed to the feds and placing it outside of the states jurisdiction. It is imperative that Oklahomans stop this now, while it is still relatively new. They must put the pressure on their state lawmakers to introduce a new asset forfeiture reform bill. However, for it to be effective it must also close the federal loophole and prohibit asset forfeiture in all forms no matter the jurisdiction. This kind of highway robbery will not stop here. Financial incentives will inspire other local law enforcement agencies to get their own ERADs. And it wont just be limited to this one device. Theyll seek other devices that enable them to take property or money without charging anyone with a crime. As technology progresses, so will the means by which they steal from ordinary citizens. The companies that create these devices will also seek state contracts and fight to preserve the status quo. States are rapidly taking notice and passing reforms to halt this abusive practice. The state of New Mexico enacted a law this year prohibiting the confiscation of property from suspects of a crime until after they are convicted. Montana passed a significant but less comprehensive reform plan tackling asset forfeiture this year as well. Shane Trejo contributed to this report. The people who are having their debit cards depleted should also be subject to having their credit lines opened and then depleted. (After all the police wouldnt do this to a law-abiding citizen). So let them pay the banks back for what the police took. The police should also have the right to open credit accounts in the victims names, buying cars for the police fleet, purchase gas and repairs, etc. This is no worse than raw identity theft; why should criminals be alone in seizing assets without a conviction? Agreed. Guilty until proven innocent I guess. Legalized theft. When are they going to stop infringing on our freedoms. Its only going,to,stop when WE make them stop. We steal from you and if youve not done anything wrong you can petition the court to get your legitimate property back. The state sanctioned crime syndicate commonly called police is once again demonstrating that the Constitution, that thing they swore to uphold and lied, means nothing to them. In the old days, the Highway men (aka robbers) used to hide behind masks, now they just hide behind badges the laws. After they robbed people they would go on the run to their hideouts to count divide their spoils. Now they drive off back to their assigned police station count their stolen loot. ZZZZZZSTAND AND DELIVER!!!!!!! NOTHING EVER CHANGES!! DOES IT!! The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act and the brain initiative are the worst scams ever perpetrated on the American people. Former U. S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin Warns: Biochips Hazardous to Your Health: Warning, biochips may cause behavioral changes and high suicide rates. State Attorney Generals are to revoke the licenses of doctors and dentists that implant chips in patients. Chip used illegally for GPS, tracking, organized crime, communication and torture.

Check out the audio spotlight by Holosonics. The truth is the biochip works like a sim card. It received pulsed modulated laser beams and millimeter wave which it converts into electromagnetic waves that your brain interprets into digital images and sound. It then takes what your brain sees and hears and converts electromagnetic waves into digital and acoustic waves that a computer translates into audio and video. In other words, it allows law enforcement to see what you see, hear what you hear and communicate directly with your brain. Former Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) director and now Google Executive, Regina E. Dugan, has unveiled a super small, ingestible microchip that we can all be expected to swallow by 2017. A means of authentication, she calls it, also called an electronic tattoo, which takes NSA spying to whole new levels. She talks of the mechanical mismatch problem between machines and humans, and specifically targets 10 20 year olds in her rant about the wonderful qualities of this new technology that can stretch in the human body and still be functional. Hailed as a critical shift for research and medicine, these biochips would not only allow full access to insurance companies and government agencies to our pharmaceutical med-taking compliancy (or lack thereof), but also a host of other aspects of our lives which are truly none of their business, and certainly an extension of the removal of our freedoms and rights. Google News The ARRA authorizes payments to the states in an effort to encourage Medicaid Providers to adopt and use certified EHR technology aka biochips. ARRA will match Medicaid $5 for every $1 a state provides. Hospitals are paid $2 million to create crisis stabilization wards (Gitmos) where state police torture people even unto death.

Y. 1914) Justice Cardozo states, every human being of adult years and sound mind has a right to determine what shall be done with his own body; and a surgeon who performs an operation without his patients consent, commits an assault, for which he is liable in damages. (Pratt v Davis, 224 Ill. 300; Mohr v Williams, 95 Minn. 261.) This case precedent requires police to falsely arrest you or kidnap you and call you a mental health patient in order to force the implant on you. You can also be forced to have a biochip if you have an infectious disease like Eboli or Aids. Coalition of Justice vs the City of Hampton, VA settled a case out of court for $500,000 and removal of the biochip.

1	The worldview of Allen Koechley, a 41-year-old Schaumburg cost-analysis officer and father of two, was mildly shaken Monday, when he briefly became aware of the possibility that non-Schaumburg places exist. Schaumberg resident Allen Koechley stands in the parking lot of one of the suburb's 4,894 strip malls. 'I was at the Olive Garden by Woodfield Mall,' Koechley said, 'when I noticed a small sign stating that the restaurant was one of over 1,500 Olive Gardens nationwide. I didn't think about it at first, but later on it hit me: There are only about 40 of them in Schaumburg. Where are all those others?' 'I'm not sure what to think, exactly,' Koechley continued. 'The non-Schaumburg region would have to be huge--the size of two dozen Schaumburgs, at least. Imagine the sheer immensity of it: the number of Old Navys. The number of Applebee's. The Targets stretching from horizon to horizon. It's difficult to comprehend.' For years, Koechley said, he had been subconsciously aware of the possibility of a world outside Schaumburg. But he had not actively considered such a prospect until recently. 'I guess I figured something must be south of Golf Road,' Koechley said. 'And there must be something beyond the Bed Bath & Beyond store over on Rand. But I never really knew what it could be. I mean, what else is there?' Further fueling Koechley's suspicions of extra-Schaumburgian life are the many Woodfield Mall stores that incorporate unfamiliar locales in their names, including Boston Store, Lerner New York and San Francisco Music Box Company, as well as a California Pizza Kitchen on the mall's periphery. Also contributing are reports from relatives and co-workers who claim to have vacationed at such places as Disney World, Disneyland and 'up north,' none of which are streets in Schaumburg. Unable to concentrate on his cost-analysis work or his nightly sports viewing, Koechley decided to put his question to the experts. 'We appreciate Mr. Koechley's inquiry, but are unable to answer it at this time,' said James Jeffries, head of the Schaumburg Zoning Committee. 'We have no records on file concerning any non-Schaumburg locations and only have information on bordering communities as it relates to specific Schaumburg-centric issues. I would advise Mr. Koechley to relax and not trouble himself with matters that, after all, have no bearing on him whatsoever.' 'I know they're right,' Koechley said. 'It doesn't matter to me, not in any real sense, when everything that's important to me is right here in Schaumburg. But as perverse and unnatural as it may seem to other Schaumburgers, I guess I'll always have a sort of dim, nagging curiosity about the outside world.' 
2	BREAKING: Hulk Hogan Facing Jail Time After Disturbing New Accusations Ever since footage leaked of him using the n-word, Hulk Hogan has been fighting an uphill battle. His troubles started when the audio recording, which was part of a sex tape, was leaked by Hogans ex girlfriend. The video reportedly shows Hogan expressing his frustration that his daughter is dating a black man. He was fired from the WWE shortly thereafter. Now, its come to surface that audio footage also showed him using an anti-gay slur. As if that werent enough, some journals have reported that Hogan could face jail time. Authorities are considering throwing Hogan behind bars for lying under court oath. The court claims that Hogan made conflicting statements to the FBI and opposing counsel. Any way you slice it, either one of those exposes him to criminal liability, Javier Solano, a former assistant DA in New York City told reporters. Reports indicate that Hogan and his lawyers blame Gawker for leaking the tape, and have demanded that the be given the right to search their computer records. We have a situationwhere the key participant, the plaintiff, is telling us one thing under oath and telling the FBI something else, a Gawker attorney told reporters. Thats how Martha Stewart got nailed, defense attorney Anthony Brooklier commented. It wasnt insider trading that put her in jail. It was the lie she told to the cops. What do you think of Hogans case? Is the wrestler in trouble?

Former Fox News host Greta Van Susteren just broke her silence with her prediction of who she thinks should replace Kellyand her choice is not what you think. According to The Blaze, Van Susteren took to Twitter to nominate The Five host Kimberly Guilfoyle for the position. OKI will weight inI think @kimguilfoyle would be a good choice for the Fox 9pmshe is smart and funviewers love her, she wrote on Tuesday, just hours after Kelly officially announced her departure. Van Susteren continued on to explain that she has always envisioned Guilfoyle as an evening anchor. The 2pm would be good for @kimguilfoyle but I see her more as an evening anchorbut that is just me maybe, she tweeted, adding that co-workers and viewers alike admire her. What do you think?

2	City Removes This Statue After Man Says It Offends Him According to recent reports, a city in North Carolina was forced to remove a memorial of a soldier kneeling next to a Christian cross after one man sued the city. Steven Hewett reportedly sued the city of King after he saw the religious monument at the Veterans Memorial in King Central Park. Despite the fact that the memorial was paid for with private donations, the city council voted to approve the removal of the statue. Both sides in this matter wish to avoid further costs, and this agreement will ensure that the City of King will not spend additional taxpayers funds to continue litigation in federal court, claimed a statement issued by the city. I proudly served alongside a diverse group of soldiers with a variety of different religious beliefs, Hewett claims. The City of King should be honoring everyone who served our country, not using their service as an excuse to promote a single religion. The decision to remove the statue has been a controversial one. What do you think of the ruling? 
1	Urging the American people to have 'courage, faith, and resolve in this time of trial,' Al Gore delivered an emergency presidential address into his bathroom mirror Tuesday. Gore delivers his make-believe address to the American people. 'My fellow Americans, our enemies have struck at the heart of our great democracy,' Gore solemnly intoned into his electric razor during the not nationally televised address. 'They have attacked our citizens, our cities, and the most prominent symbols of our pride and prosperity. In so doing, they sought to tear us apart. But they have done just the opposite.' Punctuating his opening statements with a dramatic pause intended to bolster the resolve of a wounded nation, Gore applied shaving cream to the beard he had grown during his time out of the spotlight. 'We have, in recent days, seen tragedy and infamy on a scale equal to any in American history,' said a proud, defiant Gore as he shaved. 'Yet we have also seen heroism and selflessness on a scale equal to any in human history.' Gore, who last week pretended to pledge an additional $1.5 billion in federal aid to New York City, then switched off his razor and pulled out his toothbrush. 'We must honor our fallen heroes by devoting ourselves fully to the causes of liberty and freedom,' said Gore, brushing his teeth with small circular motions. 'And we must resolve to ensure, as Lincoln said, that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the Earth.' After a long silence, Gore said, 'God bless America,' and spat. Gore, who narrowly lost the controversial 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush, then adjourned to the dining room, where he held a closed-door meeting with his top advisors, Simba and Stripe. Gore confers with top advisors Simba and Stripe. Since not taking office in January, Gore's accomplishments on both the domestic and foreign fronts have earned him high praise among fellow family members. His State Of The Union address of June 19 was hailed by wife Tipper as 'very nice,' despite being delivered in his sleep. His late-August tax-reform proposal was generally well received by daughter Kristin, who came across it on the back of a pizza-delivery menu. And his handling of the Sept. 11 tragedy and its aftermath has earned him a 100 percent approval rating within the Gore household. 'He's really risen to the occasion, that's for sure,' said Gore housekeeper Virginia Evans, who spent nearly half an hour listening to Gore's anti-terrorism plan after being named his 'Secretary Of State' last Thursday. ''President Gore' has taken some bold, decisive steps to help the American people in this time of crisis.' 'All you have to do is see the man rake leaves into piles representing the various members of the international coalition, and you suddenly feel the nation is in good hands,' said Gore son-in-law Andrew Schiff. 'Or, you know, would be, if things had gone differently in Florida and with the Supreme Court and all.' Schiff also lauded the emergency federal-law-enforcement table of organization Gore drew in his mashed potatoes during a recent family dinner as 'a masterpiece of delegation and efficiency.' 'He's unbelievable, the way he's taken charge,' Schiff said. 'It's truly amazing how much good he's imagined doing for this country.' Gore's bathroom-mirror speech, his 16th such address since Sept. 11, is widely considered to be the almost-president's most emotional and stirring yet. 'I thought it was very moving,' Tipper said. 'It was exactly what the nation would have needed to hear in the wake of this horrible tragedy, I suppose.' 
2	BREAKING: Obama Booted From Private Club After Pulling Disgusting Move Throughout his 8 years of presidency, the Rockville Woodmont Country Club has given Obama a membership at their prestigious club free of chargewaiving the absurd $80,000 initiation fee and yearly membership dues of almost $10,000. Now, many Jewish members of the club are demanding for him to be kicked out of the club because of his disgusting treatment towards Israel. In light of the votes at the UN and the Kerry speech and everything else, theres this major uproar with having him part of the club, one source told The New York Post. And a significant portion of the club has opposed offering him membership. The outraged members have even threatened to sue the establishment for bending the rules if they continue to allow Obama to golf for free after his presidency. The high-end club was originally founded by the local DC Jewish community in 1913, after Jews in the area were banned from golfing at other clubs. What do you think? Is Obama getting exactly what he deserves? 
3	Predictive Technology: A New Tool For The Thought PoliceNicholas West Until this point, it has been a very tech-heavy subject inclined to produce glazed eyes when addressed. However, the viral story of Facebook using their algorithms to go beyond surveillance and actually manipulate the emotions of users as a type of psychology experiment has thrust these practices into the mainstream. Certainly this experiment being conducted without the knowledge or consent of those involved is a huge breach of privacy and ethics. However, when it comes to policing and health, things really are turning Orwellian as thought crimes are now detectable with predictive technology. The emergence of predictive policing and predictive healthcare has a single benefit that the Facebook example does not: the PR push that their tools are making people safer. Thus, the notion of Minority Report-style pre-crime has become a reality in both Illinois and California with no where near the pushback that is being expressed toward Facebook. Concurrently, the medical field is merging with an array of wearable gadgetry that is flooding the consumer marketplace with millions of sensors to track vital signs in real time. Through the promise of both personal health attainment and medical threat alerts, people are embracing this tech in droves. Now imagine giving them real-time data about your vital signs on top of that. As Jon Rappoport detailed, this type of information is irresistible to control systems that are ripe for corruption. Embedded in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare), there lies disturbing verbiage indicating that the personal options arising from wearable gadgets and consumer behavior may become government mandated in the near future. He cites two key quotes from a Managed Care article, More Data in Health Care Will Enable Predictive Modeling Advances. Mental health, of course, would not be excluded. This is where the entire surveillance-security-health complex begins to merge. Rappoport envisions the following scenario: A recent report by NBC made the above fiction plausible. In a stunning admission, NBC reveals that Arizona police have a Mental Health Support Team that is prepared to involuntarily lock up people who seem likely to snap and commit acts of violence. These mental health police units look to harvest everything from medical records to gun purchases to online posts. Now armed with data brokers, artificial intelligence algorithms, health databases merged with police, and the political will to implement all of it, we arrive at the latest: Smartphone App May Revolutionize Mental Health Treatment. The app has been developed by Tel Aviv University in Israel. The full press release must be read to be believed, as it reveals the crux of where all of this is heading (emphasis and parentheses mine). The concluding patient privacy statement is riddled with every falsehood that we already know about how digital data is used by anyone who wishes to gain access. The communications gadgets that we have purchased already have opened the door to our personal lives. But social engineers know that for the final prison grid to be built they must have full access to our minds. Now that these new tools are coming on the market, the full scope of their applications are being revealed. Recently by Nicholas West: 
3	The Race For Raqqa - Could Two World Powers Meet In Battle Over ISIS HQ?By Brandon Turbeville Raqqa has acted as the ISIS capital since the mysterious appearance of the group two years ago and has gone virtually untouched as the Syrian military has been bogged down in major cities and western/central areas of the country in their fight against the Western-backed terrorists. Notably, despite its rhetoric of fighting to degrade and destroy ISIS, the U.S.-led coalition has yet to bomb Raqqa. Fresh on the heels of a major public relations victory in Palmyra, however, the Syrian military is now marching toward Raqqa and, if successful, it will score one of the biggest victories in the five-year war. This is not only because the de facto ISIS capital will be eliminated or because the SAA will gain more territory, it is because the liberation of Raqqa will be yet another example of how the Syrian military will have accomplished in weeks what the United States and coalition members have claimed may take a decade to do. It will be another instance where the lack of will on the part of the United States to actually destroy Daesh is put on display for the rest of the world, either causing the U.S. to look weak in the eyes of the world or exposing it for actually supporting the terrorist organization to begin with. Regardless, the victory for the Syrian government will be twofold. That is, unless the U.S. gets there first . . . . The U.S. has been using the presence of ISIS in Syria as an excuse to bomb, send Special Forces, publicly support terrorists, and possibly invade since the Western-backed terror group appeared on the scene two years ago. Yet, despite its rhetoric, the United States and its coalition have not bombed Raqqa and have largely abstained from bombing (see here and here) any other terrorist group. Instead, the U.S. has focused on bombing Syrian military targets, civilians and civilian infrastructure (see here also), and acting as a deterrent to the Syrian militarys movement in many rebel-held areas of the country. Now, however, the United States seems to have great interest in Raqqa as it aids its loose collection of terrorists, fanatical Kurds, and Arabs known as the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in battles around the ISIS capital. So why the sudden interest in Raqqa? Its fairly simple. The United States sees clearly that the Syrian military and its Russian allies are going to liberate Raqqa soon enough and the U.S. does not want to suffer another public relations setback. A defeat for ISIS is thus a humiliation for the United States. That fact alone should raise some eyebrows. Regardless, the United States would like to have its own victory in Raqqa before the Syrians and the Russians can have theirs. If the SDF is able to take Raqqa, the U.S. will then be able to shout from the rooftops that America has liberated Raqqa and defeated ISIS in its own capital. The U.S. also has another goal in Raqqa the theft of more Syrian territory by using its proxy forces going by the name of the SDF. Whether or not ISIS proper is in control of Raqqa is merely a secondary concern for the United States. If the SDF succeeds in imposing control over the city and the province, then the West will have succeeded in cementing control over the area in the hands of its proxy terrorists once again, but with yet another incarnation of the same Western-backed jihadist fanaticism. The U.S. can then use the moderate rebel label to keep Russia and Syria from bombing the fighters who merely assumed a position handed to them, albeit through some level of violence, by ISIS. With the situation as it stands, there is now the very real possibility of some type of major confrontation taking place in Raqqa that could very well have international ramifications. On one hand, there is the Syrian military, backed by the Russian Air Force and Russian Special Forces heading East to Raqqa while, on the other side, there is the SDF, backed by the U.S. Air and Special Forces, heading West toward Raqqa. Both sides are in a race to gain control over the ISIS capital, gain territory, and declare a victory for the world to see. But what if they arrive in Raqqa at the same time? In other words, there is a distinct potential that, in the race for Raqqa, the Syrian/Russian alliance might find itself face to face with the possibility of direct military conflict with the U.S./SDF (terrorist) alliance. At that point, the question will be who, if either, will back down? If both forces decide to push forward, the result could be devastating not only for Syria but for the rest of the world. Regardless of what happens, it is important to remember that the Syrian military is acting entirely in self-defense both against the terrorists posing as rebels and the United States. Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah have all been invited in to Syria, acting legally and with the assent of the Syrian government, while the United States and its coalition are once again acting completely outside of international law in an attempt to shore up its terrorist proxies; and, once again, the United States and its coalition of the willing is pushing the patience of the rest of the world.

It is so sad that Obama lied to us all when he said he would stop all the fighting but did the opposite and increased it. Im afraid Mme. Clinton will not only continue the destruction but will also increase it. Russia and Syria with help from Iran are within international law in fighting terrorism. The US, Britain and other and sundry European militaries are supporting terrorism in the heart of the Middle East. It is truly beyond disgusting! This our tax dollars at work. Killing for the sake of oil prices. The no-name potus is the easiest puppet and most favored by the nwo Georgie boyah and that Hillbillary unholy thingie. 
1	Pointing out the Portland Art Museum and the farmers market in Shemanski Park as he guided them around downtown, area 25-year-old Daniel Hurst reportedly spent Thursday afternoon taking his visiting parents on a tour of the city he expressly moved to in order to escape them. I think you guys are really going to love Hawthorne Street; there are all these great little shops, Hurst said to his parents, calling their attention to various aspects of the city he had chosen to relocate to six months earlier solely because of its distance from his hometown, under the assumption that this would limit visits from his parents to once or twice at most per year. Yeah, I like it here a lot. It feels like a big city, but its not too big; theres always something going on, and [it fulfilled my searing, all-consuming urge to put as much space between myself and both of you as possible]. Its a nice place. At press time, Hurst was showing his parents around the apartment in which he ignores their calls on a weekly basis. 
2	Texas Cheerleader Attacked By Liberals After Posting Hunting Photos To Facebook 19-year-old cheerleader Kendall Jones has recently gone viral on Facebook, after sharing photos from her experiences trophy hunting in Africa. Jones has been going on trips to South Africa for the past 6 years, and decided to create a fan page showing off her kills. The aspiring actress has nearly 18,000 followers. Although the pictures have received immense criticism, Jones claims that she is actually a conservationist, and that she is actually helping to control animal populations. She tells the public that she helps farmers afford vet and feed bills when she pays them to use their land for hunting. She also donates the meat from her kills to local families in need to ensure that nothing is wasted. In the 23 African countries that allow sport hunting, 18,500 tourists pay over $200 million a year to hunt lions, leopards, elephants, warthogs, water buffalo, impala, and rhinos, The National Geographic writes. According to reports, this incentive actually helps to conserve wildlife. Still, these are details often ignored by activists, who have been extraordinarily vocal about their distaste for the teen. Now, theyve started a Change.org petition designed to remove her Facebook page. What do you think of Jones hobby? Should she be banned on Facebook for her actions?

2	Obama Makes Admission About His Muslim Background Since the beginning of his presidency, Barack Obama has faced questions about his background and his faith. Many Americans believe that he is a Muslim man who only pretends to be a Christian to gain support. Now, a newly-surfaced video is backing up that theory, and raising some serious questions about who Barack Hussein Obama really is. I am a Christian, and I am a devout Christian, Obama said to Christian Today in 2008, when he was campaigning for the presidency. I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Since that interview, however, Obama has done little to prove his faith. The United States has been enriched by Muslim Americans, he claimed. Many other Americans have Muslims in their families or have live in a Muslim-majority countryI know because I am one of them. Time and time again, Obama appears to take the side of the Muslim communityoften denouncing Christians in the process. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
2	Does New Evidence Reveal Obama Was Not Born In The U.S.? Were anxious to see how Obama explains away this one. According to recent reports, Obamas 1981 Columbia University ID card has just surfaced on the Internet, and what it reveals is shocking. If the information on the card is correct, Obama attended college under the name of Barry Soetoro, the surname of his Indonesian stepfather. As if that werent enough to leave you scratching your head, the card is marked Foreign Student, meaning that at the time of his attendance, Obama was claiming that he wasnt born in the United States. What do you think? Does Obama owe Americans an explanation? 
2	3 Thugs Thought They Could Assault This 77 Year Old Grandma... Instantly Learn That Was A Huge Mistake Its a sad but true fact that criminals often target the elderly for robberies and other crimes. There is a perception among criminals that older people are helpless and feebleand unable to defend themselves. Three young would-be thieves just learned that isnt always the case. When the three men attempted to rob 77-year-old Winifred Peel in the UK, they faced immediately justice. Peel was attempting to use the ATM when the men, later identified as Florin Geblescu, Piper Dumitru, and Felix Stoica, tried to sneak p behind her. The first young man pushed up against Peel in an attempted to knock her off balance. The woman recognized the man from her bank, where she had seem him earlier that day. Thats when she spotted the second man, who she had also seen that same afternoon. When the final man tried to squeeze past Peel so he could steal money from her account, she grabbed the second man around the collar. With all the strength she could channel, she banged the mans head against the machine. He was left bloodied and bruised. Shortly thereafter, the men were apprehended by authorities. 
1	By an 8-1 vote Monday, the members of the U.S. Supreme Court collectively resolved to lose their virginity by Dec. 31, 2002. The court's nine virgins. 'Whereas neither this judicial body, nor the bodies of any of its nine members, has ever been touched in an intimate manner, it is wholly appropriate for us to become men and women via acts of sexual congress, and this on a deadline described by the completion of the year 2002,' wrote Justice Anthony Kennedy, voicing the majority opinion. 'The only caveat is: There are no caveats.' The pact was first proposed on Oct. 23, when Kennedy and Justice Antonin Scalia were bullied by a coalition of prominent congressional jocks led by Sen. Jim Bunning (R-KY). 'The legislators in question were stepping on our robes and coughing the word 'fag' and carrying out a variety of other acts that, while not unconstitutional, would unequivocally be construed as mean,' Kennedy said. 'The final straw came when Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) told me she thought I was cute and said to meet her at the Jefferson Memorial dressed as a cowboy so we could make out.' After complying with Collins' request, Kennedy was ambushed and pelted with eggs by several assailants, including Collins herself, who walked off holding hands with Rep. Tom Osborne (R-NE). 'She laughed and said, 'So long, virgin! Have a nice night with Mr. Right Hand,'' Kennedy said. 'After that, I decided I'd had enough. It was time to take action.' The court decided to move forward with the pact later that evening when, during a late-night bonding session, Chief Justice William Rehnquist admitted to being a virginshattering longtime perceptions that he is the worldliest and most experienced member of the court. 'Hearing that Big Willie had never buried the gavel was a key turning point,' Justice David Souter said. 'It opened up our eyes and made us see how we were not alone, after all. After a period of deliberation, we arrived at a majority opinion that if we all worked together, we could overcome our nervousness and actually get laid.' 'Hey, everybody!' Souter added. 'We're all gonna get laid!' The lone dissenting vote, cast by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, came as a surprise to many, given her long track record of defending personal liberties. Washington Post judicial reporter James Klingler theorized that the vote may represent an attempt on Ginsburg's part to prevent Scalia from coupling with another woman. 'I'm not at liberty to name names, but a certain Supreme Court justice recently informed me that Ginsburg confided in her that she 'totally loves' Scalia,' Klingler said. 'This, I believe, is the reason she voted against the pact. But while, on its surface, this pact would seem to drive Ginsburg and Scalia further apart, it may well be the very thing that brings them together. Perhaps during a particularly long and difficult get-laid strategy session, Justice Ginsburg will remove her glasses and rub her tired eyes, prompting Justice Scalia to finally see the beautiful woman beneath that hard liberal exterior.' The first major test case for the pact will take place this weekend at a Judicial Branch/Daughters of the American Revolution mixer, which Justice John Paul Stevens said will be attended by some 'really slutty girls' he knows from law school. 'Under penalty of perjury, I swear to God, there is this one chick who is completely hot for Souter,' Stevens said. 'She personally attested to this fact during a conversation I recently overheard that I am not at liberty to discuss in any detail. Saturday is his night, man.' Subsequent opportunities are expected to arise at a pool party Supreme Court Marshal Pamela Talkin is slated to throw at the Alexandria Radisson over Thanksgiving break, as well as at the Judicial Branch Big Beach Bonfire on Dec. 14. Stephen 'Pee-Wee' Breyer, the most recently sworn-in justice, reported being nervous about the impending virginity loss. A close confidant, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that a trembling Breyer recently asked him, 'Gee, getting it on with a real girlwhat do I do?' Not all of the justices admit to being so nervous, however. Asked to assess his prospects for losing his virginity within the next two months, a confident Scalia lifted his judicial robe and quipped, 'Res ipsa loquitur.' 
3	7 Things To Show That You Are Not Living In The Land of the FreeBy Paul A. Philips Taking the case of America as an example, many American citizens have no idea about the nature of their Washington, D.C Judas-despotic leaders and how they are covertly screwing them all over. How they are nothing more than henchmen for the ruling elites corporate/banker oppressive control system In reflection of this here are just 7 things to show that youre not living in the land of the free and what needs to be done. The 40-hour working week is automatically accepted. Economically speaking, you may be living comfortably, but your request for fewer hours to pursue things outside of the workplace would be declined. In other words youre given an ultimatum: Do a 40-hour working week or you wont get any work. Following on from 2, there are indeed many people having to do the 40-hour working week plus overtime on a skimpy hourly rate just to survive: Wage slavery refers to those having to be completely dependent on their next paycheck to make ends meet. Debt, consumerism and inflation are major factors linked to wage slavery (economic slavery) and automatically accepting the 40-hour working week. Increasing in number, these days, there are so many authoritarian ordinances, rules and regulations restricting freedom. Theres very little you can do without permission from your control freak government. Here are just some examples. * Do you own a property? If so, then having to forever pay property taxes brings into question the idea of ownership. For example, having lived there for some 20 years, you may well have paid the same money in property taxes as the cost of your home. * For home renovations, you have to let your government know what youll be doing to get their permission. Then, on completion, you must make sure that youve complied with their regulations. * If you want to sell your homemade produce, no matter how small the cost, youll have to pay for a license from the government. * Do you want to grow your own vegetables for supplementing your food budget? If so, then be careful. You could be criminally charged, then fined. One man was fined for growing vegetables that prevented people from seeing grass! If you go fishing for supplementing your food budget then youll need to have a license. * Your car is one of the many eternal taxes you will have to pay to your government. Indeed, its as if the only thing that isnt taxed is the air you breathe, but who knows, maybe one day therell be a levy on that! Consider the shed loads of money the government makes from exponentially increasing ordinances, rules, regulations and taxes. Having not paid the necessary fees or taxes, or not obtained a license or permit from the mafia government you could find yourself in big trouble, not matter how petty or small the non-compliance. Like, for instance, the children outlawed for selling lemonade at a charity. Then theres the case of the woman who had her home seized for missing a $6.30 interest charge! Mass surveillance is yet another way in which your freedom has been sabotaged by the government and related departments. In spite of the increasing surveillance and a more and more militarized police state, crime rates have not decreased. Indeed, a number of us know that surveillance cameras here, there and everywhere go way beyond the purpose of crime detection. So do drone hunters monitoring applications such as your mobile phone activity, spying electronic mosquitoes, body micro-chipping, facial recognition and car number plate detection technology There are plans for a black box to be installed in every car to monitor drivers. Then theres a plan for a biometric DNA database on all citizens These are just some of the surveillance technologies for a Big Brother control-obsessed government. The governments tyranny of free speech suppression just keeps on growing, everywhere. So-called intolerable speech categorizations such as a trigger-1, micro-aggression or red light is encouraged by authorities to be reported, hence, the encouraging of a snitch community. Weasel-brained political correctness, word prohibitions, social media censorship all contribute to limiting free speech. When free speech is limited it leads to a nation of citizens who are: Over Christmas, like a thief in the night, Obama sneakily passed a bill called the Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act. It gives the government the powers to label truthful and accurate information that they dont want you to know about, such as that from alternative media sources, as propaganda or fake news. In effect, this new law will be used to block free speech, threatening the existence of alternative/independent media or any other information source deemed anti-government. This globalist propaganda and the censoring of free speech in America must be stopped by: This act is a desperate attempt (one of many) to stop the rising mass awakening of the people and the consequences of them finding out the truth. But the more governmental tyranny, the more the people wake up Following on from 5, as a dissenter, not having the same opinion as the establishment or the masses, you may find yourself demonized for your views or actions, which could even lead you into dire straits through being outlawed. Thus demonizing dissension, especially because an anti-government stance is becoming less tolerated. Criminalizing goodwill gestures is part of the war on humanity and your freedom of self-expression. Here are just several examples. Another Good Samaritan criminalized for his compassion, trying to make a difference to the plight of the homeless, was Jay Hamberger. Because of helping the homeless for some 27 years in Houston he became an outlaw. Further, it is now illegal to be homeless. How do authorities expect these impoverished people to pay the fines?? Even their meager possessions: bedclothes, clothes, tents, papers, medications are confiscated. How could any policeman confiscating these possessions not consider this action to be inhumane? Will these outrageous prohibitions find their way across the entire country? According to researcher Michael Snyder they will as part of the war on the homeless. *Not too long ago an awful flooding occurred in Louisiana. Because of a delayed response from the government-backed rescue team, locals decided to take the situation into their own hands. However, before they could deal with the rising waters and rescue their neighbors from the terrible consequences of the flooding, government officials blocked off the area with police barriers because the rescuers didnt have the demanded permits. Aw cmon! *Even the smallest acts of goodwill now demand that laws and regulations be followed: Do you want to exchange your home-grown goodies with someone else? You could be outlawed if you havent paid your government for a permit and taxes on the exchange. That concludes just 7 of many things to show that youre not living in the land of the free. Clearly, the government wants complete control. They want you to be dependent on them for everything. However, the more control freak they become the more enforced prohibitions, restrictions, taxes, police violence, sophisticated surveillance and tracking technologies etc. the more the people will object. Having reached breaking point, thepeople will then decide theyve had enough, while realizing that their government is (and has been) obsolete. The government knows this and is desperately afraid of losing its grip on an overwhelming number of awakened citizens ready to take action. More and more people are realizing the illegitimacy of Big Government. The truth is we dont have ANY contract with them. We dont need their permission to do anything. Taking thecase of taxes,taxation is theft (see video). The solution is to stop giving your power away. Stop cooperating with the control system. We are the imagination of ourselves and anythings possible. So, lets create a new paradigm experience, a new humanity out of what is possible. You can read more from Paul A. Philips at his site NewParadigm.ws Top Image Illustration by Sarah Eberspacher | Image courtesy CORBIS / The Week What needs to be done? SECEDESECEDESECEDE!!! And then ?! Those who wield power know that the masses can be run on the fantasy of something for nothing, and they are more than willing to continuously sell people the fantasy that they are getting something when in fact they are not. Most people that I know wished they could get a forty hour a work week. Many of the youthful folks I talk to are living at home and work more than two part-time jobs. I wish we could do away with the third party moderators who keep time censoring my comments proving to me that I dont have freedom of speech on this website. I am tired of the alternative viewpoint that the faux conservative approach to righting the wrongs of our criminal fascist non-system is the way to proceed in an arena that has already seen the SHTF (the alt view is it is still about to happen). We need to awaken to the mindset of the alien/military/industrial/complex that is not your friend or protector. The Republicans and Democrats are in the hands of the American/German billionaires who run the central banking non-system of the planet and are the gatekeepers of the Reptilian Overlords. .American/German billionaires who run the central banking non-system LOL Those are not American nor are they German. You dont know your enemy ! If a man knows himself and knows his opponent, he need not fear a hundred battles. If he knows himself but not his opponent, for every victory he will suffer a defeat. If he knows neither himself nor his opponent, he will suffer defeat in every battle. Sun Tzu, a Chinese General and philosopher in a small treatsie entitled The Art of War about 500 B.C. You cannot just abolish the income tax, there will be total chaos. You have to start with a consumption tax, then reduce on an other year basis, to almost nothing. Government must be small in order to keep order The first priority is to END the FED and its strangle hold on D.C. Regarding the 40 hour work week; many people are unaware that an overtime bill has been passed by the House of Representitives, not onece but twice, that would let employers not pay time and a half for hours worked above 40 hours. The bill would let employers instead, give employees days off. Its a bit involved but the bill can be viewed online if people are interested. From the comments posted on the sites about the bill, some government workers already are being paid this way. And boy do they hate it!! What I do know about this overtime bill is that the first time it was passed by the House GW Bush was in office and promised to sign it. It died in the Democrat controlled Senate. The second time it was passed by the House, Obama promised to veto the bill and it once again died in the Senate. I am not certain but I believe the Senate, by that time, was controlled by the Republicans. (Believe me when I say that I have no love for Obama, nor Democrats. I have posted on this site and other sites that Barack Hussein Obama is the worst President in my lifetime and one of the very worst in U.S. history. He is a war criminal, along with Boy Bush, and should be tried as such. He is dishonest to his core, divisive and tyrannical. Boy Bush was pretty much the same. Just a horrible horrible person and president. Thats just an opinion. Take it as that.) What is much more important and what worries me and what should worry all Americans is whether this overtime bill will be resurrected in a Trump administration. All three branches of government are Repulican, disorganized as it may be. Will it pass the House? It has before. Will the Senate finally take it up and pass it? That would then put the squeeze on Trump to sign or face a possible veto. That would certainly show where his loyalties lie. If this bill is once again debated and becomes more well known it could be a very interesting and dangerous time for our country. Even Warren Buffett is rich/richer thanks to taking his share of the Publics Funds. All of the military industrial complex is rich/richer for taking a major share of the Publics Funds. If you surveyed the wealth of 90% of the .01%, you would find the same thing. As for the other 10%, you would find the sale of booze during the Prohibition and the sale and/or transportation of slaves as the cornerstone of their wealth. Our prime concern should be in our personal financial progress instead of pointing fingers to the past, which wont help us in the future. Poor people dont have power. Those without power cannot defend freedom ! Thanks for your opinion. I beg to differ. Poor people who are educated and articulate, who speak with understanding and knowledge can be very influential. That most humans worship money, prestige and power lie behind your words. It is a place of great emptiness. Its a place of greater opportunities ! A mans mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind. James Allen in As A Man Thinketh Youre a crazy person. You are maybe using a combination of words their robot doesnt like ? Or a link ? Americas freedom is a hoax. We are not even close to being free. The problem is those who visit this site and can benefit from the information offered are already aware. Those who are unaware wont see this. We are either preaching to the choir or talking to the wall. This is the essence of the dilemma we face. Global Central Banks have declared war upon humanity but those who have been highly propagandized and socially engineered cannot grasp it. I believe we will now find out if the number of humans who are awake are sufficient to survive the Global Banks by withdrawing from their power base; fake/fiat currency. Since they can devalue/debase their global currency system, and are doing so as I write this, will there be sufficient time to inform the general population? This is a race against time and a war of information. If Anthony Wile over at the Daily Bell is correct, the Internet is this generations Gutenberg Press and we will not all be destroyed. I profoundly hope hes right. 
2	Fox Makes Shocking Announcement Cancels Many Shows In Lineup According to recent reports, Fox just announced that they will be canceling American Idol. For years now, American Idol has been one of the most popular shows on television, and has helped to launch the careers of many young stars, including Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. Since its launch, many similar shows have come on air, including The Voice on NBC. For the past few seasons, The Voice has been gaining popularity, and it seems that American Idol is struggling to keep up. Executives at Fox announced on Monday that they will be using the shows 15th season to celebrate the shows history before it wraps for good. The announcement comes right after the canceling of The Mindy Project, starring female creator Mindy Kaling and The Following, starring Kevin Bacon. What do you think of the mass cancellations? Is Fox on the edge of a major rebranding effort? 
3	Has America Been Set Up As Historys Ultimate Bumbling Villain?Brandon Smith We get shivers of fear and excitement when we discuss the evils and the follies of ancient monsters like Nero, Attila the Hun, Caligula, etc, or more modern monsters, like Mussolini, Stalin Hitler, Goebbels, Mao, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, and so on. We take solace in the idea that we are nothing like them, and our nation has moved beyond such animalistic behavior. But even more fascinating popcorn-style history is found not in the destruction of tyrants, but the destruction of empires. When an entire culture steps off the edge of the abyss into the realm of societal psychosis, the world often changes forever and in ways that, at least on the surface, seem to bring humanity a little closer together. The fall of Rome led to the eventual rise of a dominant Catholic theocracy and the rulership of royal blood lineage that lasted for centuries in Europe. The flames of World War I and the destabilization of the Kaisers Germany led to the formation of the League Of Nations; a first attempt at a global governing authority designed to maintain world peace. World War II and the fall of the Third Reich resulted in considerable horrors, which the establishment of the United Nations was supposedly meant to prevent from ever occurring again. The decline of the British Empire saw the implosion of cultural colonialism, and the rise of corporate colonialism, which centralized immense power into the hands of the banking class as the new official oligarchs of our modern era. The collapse of the Berlin Wall and the abandonment of the Soviet Union was lauded by then U.S. President George Bush as the beginnings of a New World Order an ideological concept which heralds the final deterioration of the idea of economic and political sovereignty as a mainstay of human civilization. Perhaps it would be glorious, if you have adopted the childish notions of history common to the mainstream. For those who have not, the story, and the ultimate solutions to the ills of mankind, become a little more complicated. Americas Villainous Mustache Mainstream history tends to follow the motions of a play or film, in that archetypes and symbolic figures are consistently created in order to satisfy the natural flow of a particular fiction. The bad guy wears a mustache (not always, but it is strange and disturbing to see how often this archetype materializes in the mainstream worldview. Just look at Hitler, Stalin, Fidel Castro, Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, Muammar Gaddafi, Bashar al-Assad, etc. We love mustached villains). His criminal successes make him imposing and frightening. He acts without conscience, or, he wrongly believes his terrible actions are justified in the name of the greater good. His inevitable mistakes make his final failure ironic and satisfying in the face of the iconic hero, who defeats the enemy while the citizenry stands back and watches in awe and wonder as helpless spectators. The villain is indeed evil, and deserves to be dethroned, but the assumption many people make is that the other side is diametrically good. This is not always the case. America is used to playing the role of the hero in the epic tale of modern Earth. Our nation began with an act of defiance and victory so unexpected and so poetic, it cemented our cultural identity as freedom fighters for centuries to come. Over time, our government, turning progressively corrupt, has exploited this cultural identity in order to lure Americans into committing atrocities in the name of our traditional sense of heroism. We have, in fact, become the very antagonists we thought we were fighting against (theres the delicious irony needed to round out our fairytale). Our governments actions surrounding Syria, for instance, have made America appear not just bloodthirsty, but also ridiculous. The Obama Administration has taken us to the brink of World War III and left us there to stare out over the chasm. The slightest breeze could send us plummeting. All to generate military support for Al-Qaeda, the same organization designated by the establishment as our mortal enemy. In the meantime, our economic system now survives solely on the whims of the Federal Reserve, a private central bank that answers to NO ONE, and writes fiscal policy without oversight. The government is not only seeking to trigger world war, it also wants to pay for that war with money we do not have, riding debts we cannot pay, to foreign creditors we will piss off in the process of unleashing our unfunded laser guided hell. Never has the U.S. been slathered in so much absurdity all at once. Now, we wear the mustache. Most of us in the Liberty Movement would agree that our country is being poisoned from within, and that our government for many decades has become an enemy of all free peoples. But there is a very important question that we seem to have overlooked: If America has been written as the villain, then who is meant to be the hero? Putin Is Not Your Buddy Lets step back from the global stage for a moment and examine the situation from a different perspective. What if the U.S. is not just a product of corruption for corruptions sake? What if our new identity as the next historical evil-doer is part of a greater script, and Americas fall from grace is meant to be used to foment the success of fantastic (but fake) protagonists in an engineered fight for a better and more centralized world? How many of us in the Liberty Movement cheered the diplomatic and strategic prowess of Vladimir Putin, for example, in the days leading to Obamas red line attack on Syria? We cheered because his position was correct, and his demeanor made our government look homicidal by comparison. We cheered his letter to TIME Magazine because we are tired of being the only people pointing out the vicious parasite our political body has become, and it was exciting to be vindicated by an outside source. We cheered his protection of Edward Snowden, a truly courageous whistleblower that exposed the terrifying Orwellian nature of the NSA. We watch video reports from Russia Today (RT) because they give a far more accurate accounting of the facts in the U.S. than all American media entities combined. It is easy for us to get caught up in the idea that since the West has become the bad guy, the East must now be the good guy. The problem is, we are being played yet again. Putin has long called for the end of the dollars world reserve status and the creation of a new global structure and a global currency revolving around the IMFs Special Drawing Rights: http://www.themoscowtimes.com/business/article/at-g20-kremlin-to-pitch-new-currency/375364.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financetopics/davos/4376315/Russian-prime-minister-Vladimir-Putin-calls-for-end-of-dollar-stranglehold.html Is it just coincidence that Putin wants the same centralized global economy and global governance that the IMF and multiple banking elites have been calling for for years? The same elites who created the debt crisis and currency crisis we now face in America? Is it just coincidence that Eastern economic and political dominance over issues like Syria perfectly benefits the IMF plan for an financial shift to the BRICS nations and away from the U.S. greenback? The same plan promoted by many American financial moguls? Russia is a model for despotic socialized society posing as civilized society, and yet, our government has made America so ugly that Russia looks noble by comparison. Putin is placed on the cover of TIME magazine everywhere in the world except the U.S., and the Washington Times responds by stating that such behavior is a sign of Americas downward spiral in the global community, as if we are about to be shunned from the world at large: http://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/conscience-realist/2013/sep/18/time-puts-vladimir-putin-its-front-cover-everywher/ While RT produces fantastic journalistic pieces that are critical of American government, rarely if ever do they turn a discerning eye to Russia, and this is not just oversight. Look carefully at the narrative that is being constructed here. Putin is NOT our buddy. He represents exactly what our own government now represents; globalism and naked centralized government aggression against the individual. However, as mainstream history is being written, the story will be told that it was nations like Russia and China, and organizations like the IMF, that tried to hold back the tide of catastrophe while America, the last empire, steamrolled into thick-skulled oblivion surfing on a shockwave of fiat money and brute military vanity. The Washington Aristocracy Is Scum, But Dont Let That Fool You Most people with an extensive Liberty Movement education are well aware that false paradigms are used in politics by establishment elites in order to control social discussion and to divide the population against each other. The Left/Right debate has been and always will be a farce, being that the leadership on both sides of the aisle have identical goals when it comes to the most important aspects of the American structure. The elites of the Democratic and Republican parties, regardless of rhetoric, will BOTH strive for greater government power, less individual liberty, the erasure of economic sovereignty and free markets, and a dependent and enslaved public. On these pursuits, they completely agree. In one week, our faux leadership is to decide once AGAIN on the possibility of a debt ceiling increase that will bring us ever closer to a debt and currency avalanche event. During past debates, much fanfare is given to the supposed conflict between the interests of the Democrats and the GOP, up until the last moment when the GOP caves in completely and allows the debt ceiling to be vaulted. Will the same happen again in this case? It depends on how quickly the establishment wants to bring entire roof down on our heads. A freeze of the debt ceiling would eventually mean default on our Treasury Bonds, since our government must take on exponential debt in order to receive the benefits of the Federal Reserves printing press, as well as pay off our foreign creditors. A government shutdown could slow the growth of some liabilities, but it does not account for the liabilities already in circulation, thus, we can still default. Not to mention, our debt and currency standing could easily come into question, resulting in a bond dump or loss of reserve status. The only option that does not result in a fast moving firestorm through our financial system is a debt ceiling increase, and how much longer can we get away with kicking the can down the road? In any case, America is about to change for the worse, and the decision on when this is to happen was made a long time ago. The Washington aristocracy is blatantly guilty in the instigation of our current dilemma, and my theory is, they want you to know they are the culprit, as long as you continue believing they are the ONLY culprit. They want you to forget all about the IMF, the corporate elites, and Vladimir Putins involvement in the larger plan. They want you to cheer when international banks and whats left of the G20 rescue us after years of fiscal disaster and institute centralized global economic governance. They want to be the only authors of this story, and what author doesnt want to see himself placed in the role of the champion? Just as there are false political paradigms, there are also false international paradigms. The Liberty Movement is the wild card; an unknown quantity. We arent fighting for one side or the other we are fighting for particular principles and beliefs. The establishments best strategy is to co-opt our momentum by convincing us to focus on alternative opposition, or place our trust in fabricated advocates. No matter how epically monstrous our government becomes, and no matter how satisfying their ultimate demise will be, our battle does not end with them. It only begins with them.

2	Hillary Clintons Campaign Is Ruined After Donald Trump Makes THIS Massive Announcement Billionaire Donald Trump made waves when he launched his presidential campaign at the beginning of this week in New York. Trump was introduced by his daughter, and made a grand entrance to Rockin in the free world before he went on to make some bold and controversial statements about the current state of our government. The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everyone elses problems, Trump began, citing trade relations with China. He then went on to discuss the current candidates, and he didnt hold back. They will never make America great again, they dont even have a chance, he claimed. Our country needs a truly great leader and needs a truly great leader now. Ladies and gentleman, I am officially running for president of the United States and we are going to make our country great again. I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created, Trump concluded. What do you think? Will you vote for Trump? 
2	Churchs Chicken Just Bowed Down To Shariah Law In An Absolutely SICKENING Way According to recent reports, a Baltimore couple has just filed a civil rights lawsuit against the Islamic investment bank that owns the Churchs Chicken fast-foot chain. Marcus and Denise Beasley claim that the franchise failed because of the banks adherence to Shariah law, which prevented them from selling pork. The Beasleys claim that they were treated unfairly by Arcapita Inc. when they were not allowed to serve breakfast dishes containing pork after the chain was acquired in 2004. The couple was not protected by any sort of grandfather policy, although their contract with AFC Enterprises Inc. predated the takeover. Crescent Capital Investments Inc., the United States affiliate of Bahrain-based First Islamic Investment Bank BSC, bought the franchise. They later changed their name to Arcapita. When the Beasleys entered the sublease in 2005, the developer required them to submit their menu for approval. The franchises offerings included pork items. One week before the Beasleys were going to open, Arcapita told them they were unable to serve pork because it goes against Islam. The Beasleys claim they received substantial economic losses because of the change. The lawsuit seeks $5 million in actual damages, $5 million in compensatory damages, and $10 million in punitive damages. What do you think of the lawsuit?

2	Swedish Woman Who Let Muslim Refugee Into Her House Raped And Killed Elin Krantz was known for having an open mind. She was a member of the We Like Diversity Facebook page. She considered herself to be multicultural and was an avid supporter of immigration into Sweden, where she was born. On the day she died, Krantz was riding on a tram in the Hisingen neighborhood in Sweden with the African immigrant who would become her killer. Shortly after the ride ended, she was found raped and murdered in a wooded area not far from the tram stop. The 23-year-old refugee was arrested shortly thereafter. Prosecutors called the attack one of extreme ruthlessness. Its hard to determine what went through Krantzs mind as she was attacked by a man that she welcomed into her country. Unfortunately, incidents like these are far too common. President Obama is doing everything he can to assure the American public that refugees do not pose a risk. But stories like these cannot be ignored. What do you think? Does the security of our citizens come before anything else? 
1	Hailed by members of the online community as a groundbreaking and radical new voice, blogger Charles Edo has taken the internet by storm in recent weeks with a series of posts in which he conveys his opinions using the rhetorical device of sarcasm, sources reported Thursday. Astounded readers of Edos Tumblr blog reported that the 26-year-old has found a way to write about both politics and popular culture with a sarcastic tone, in the process creating an entirely unique style of commentary never before observed in the blogosphere. A couple weeks ago he posted this thing saying he really loved the Dexter series finale, but it was weirdhe kept calling the episode great while detailing all of its flaws, said reader Ryan Zalch, explaining his initial puzzlement with Edos sarcasm. Then suddenly it hit me: This guy didnt actually like the show at all. Somehow, he was writing the literal opposite of what he meant, going way over-the-top with what seemed like praise to express his hatred. Its this whole new way of conveying ideas about something, Zalch added. Its confusing at first, but once you understand how it works, its incredibly impressive. According to sources, Edos most popular blog postswhich include 7 Reasons Robin Thicke Is The Greatest Artist Of His Generation, Thanks, I Didnt Want Health Insurance Anyway, and Rape Is Always Hilariousall employ the same subtle, highly innovative technique, which inevitably catches visitors to his site off-guard. Last month, a 400-word post about Fall Fashion Week filled with gushing, effusive language reportedly left many readers with their heads spinning: Edos tongue-in-cheek approach was so unfamiliar to them that most had to read the piece through two or three times before they realized the authors enthusiasm was, in fact, completely feigned. Internet experts have declared that Edos ability to use sarcasm to hide meaning between the lines is nothing short of revolutionary. How on earth did he ever come up with the idea to start writing in this voiceand on the web, of all places? said Laura Hudson, culture and entertainment editor of Wired.com. Thats the question everyone is asking right now. Wed never seen anything like it until this guy came along. Theres even a certain tone in his work thats almost kind of snarky, you know? And that kind of thing could become a real game-changer for voices on the internet. This is a blogger who is showing us what can be done with the medium, Hudson added. Its truly visionary stuff. At present, Edos ability to send shockwaves through the internet shows no signs of letting up, with the online community reportedly reeling from his current series of posts on the budget stalemate in Washington, the latest of which is titled, Thats Okay, Its Not Like The Government Does Anything Useful. I dont see why shutting down the government is such a big deal anyway, Edos post reads in part, a statement that readers should be advised not to take at face value, for it in fact represents the opposite of the authors true opinion. I heard there are some mothers who arent getting the vouchers they need to buy baby formula, and I think thats great. Just great. Do you know whats even better? The fact that military families arent getting benefits when a loved one dies in Afghanistan. Made my day when I heard that. Experts agreed Edos sarcastic sensibility has caused the online world its greatest shock since 2010, when everything was thrown into upheaval by a blogger who was especially pointed and sassy. 
1	Facing widespread criticism over his alleged sexual relationship with an underaged exotic dancer during his tenure as prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi on Tuesday assured the people of Italy that the woman in question was of legal age when he paid her for sex using the nations money. 'Let me swear to you that these brazenly misappropriated state funds went toward financing my long-running sexual liaison with a call girl who was of full legal age throughout our affair,' the career politician and media tycoon told reporters, adding that the exotic dancer with whom he had intercourse dozens of times during his time in office was 'at least' 18 years old when she received thousands of euros in jewelry and air travel courtesy of Italy's depleted treasury. 'Despite what my critics say, this sexual relationship made possible through considerable taxpayer financing was something that occurred between two consenting adults. This has been the case with every single one of my government-subsidized affairs, and the people of Italy know that.' Berlusconi, who was forced out of office in 2011 over concerns about his ability to resuscitate Italy's stagnant economy amid a litany of embarrassing sex scandals, is expected to be fully forgiven by the Italian citizenry. 
1	Anders Perssen, 23, a Swedish backpacker currently staying at the Chelsea International Youth Hostel, admitted Monday to getting 'a great large amount of tail' during the first two weeks of his three-month tour of the U.S. The much-laid Perssen sits on his bed at the hostel. 'Ja, is true,' said the smiling Stockholm native. 'I am getting laid big-time.' Perssen, who shares a dormitory-style room with five other men, said he has been 'very lucky with ladies' ever since arriving in the U.S. 'I admit, it has been very easy to have the women to sleep with me,' he said. 'Much harder when I am home. Not impossible, I don't say. But, ja, harder.' 'If I should have known this, I would have stay here beforeevery summer!' Perssen continued. 'I would have come to America as soon as I was 18, just so I can get all the you-know-what whenever I want. But then I would have never leave, right?' 'No, I am kidding to you,' added Perssen, turning serious for a moment. 'I love Sweden. It is my home.' Dressed stylishly in a corduroy blazer and motorcycle boots, an English-Swedish dictionary tucked in the front pocket of his rumpled button-down shirt, Perssen said he makes a positive impression on American women with his European style of dress. 'The women, they say I dress nice, much better compared to American men who more dress in gym shoes,' Perssen said. 'The girl Gina at [local bar] the Half King say I look 'sophisticated.' I think she look sophisticated, too, but even better with the clothes off!' Perssen's fellow hostel dwellers can attest to the mad action the Swede is getting. 'I go out to the bar on the weekend and everyone loves Anders,' said Ewald Kist, 24, a Dutch traveler who has bunked with Perssen for the past eight days. 'All the women, they say, 'Oh, I love your accent! Where are you from?' Or 'What is that cigarette you smoke? I never hear of Prince cigarette! Is that Swedish brand? Oh, so cool! Please to let me try one!' It work every time.' Shorter and less handsome than Perssen, Kist said he is doing 'all right' himself, but cannot help but be impressed with Perssen's ability to reel it in. 'Anders is never even here at all most nights,' Kist said. 'He is paying for a bed for his backpack to sit on. But it is better for him this way, for sure. It is better, isn't it, Anders? The American women are good in bed, no?' A sheepish Perssen waved the question away, but confirmed that he is definitely 'getting some.' 'On last Friday, I stay at the New York University on the campus in the room of Kristine,' Perssen said. 'On Sunday, I stay in apartment in the Eastern Village which is where the bands like the Ramones and The Talking Heads played. The girl, Brynn, was very beautiful. She had a tattoo. Ha, I will not say where, though. That is for me to know!' In addition to Kristine and Brynn, Perssen has enjoyed the company of three other females in the past week: an advertising executive, an aspiring singer-songwriter, and a girl from Minneapolis staying with a friend at Columbia University. 'I go to the bar, and all I do is order my drink and the women ask me where I am from,' Perssen said. 'Sometimes, it is hard to choose between the friends, which one I want to talk to the most. Only, sometimes, by the end of the night, we do not just talk!' According to Perssen, American women tend to know little about Swedish culture, but they are nonetheless eager to discuss it with him. 'They say Ingmar Bergman, then they say Pippi Longstockings, and then the Volvo car,' Perssen said. 'We talk about the bandsthey sometimes know my favorite now, The Hives, or The Hellacopters or Sahara Hotnights, but they usually say ABBA. I do not like ABBA very much, but I am willing to sing along with them to the ABBA if it maybe will get me into the sack later.' Perssen confessed that last Saturday night, he participated in a bar sing-along to 'Dancing Queen,' the playful atmosphere culminating in a make-out session on the sidewalk outside of a Lower East Side bar. Perssen, who plans to stay in New York another week before heading to Boston, said the attention from women has interfered with his efforts to see the city. 'There are so many things I mean to do here before I move on,' Perssen said. 'My first week, I visit the Metropolitan Art Museum and Times Square, and I go to the Central Park, but since then, I mostly concentrate on the hot chicks. It's a good idea, no?' The Swede said he typically finds himself so tired from staying out late that he spends most days lounging in coffee shops or bookstores, resting up for the long night ahead. 'Maybe I will come back to New York when I am too old to want to get laid,' Perssen said. 'But right now, I see the real New York and party with the real people of New York, like Marissa and Shelley, who are both work at the jewelry store in Greenwich Village and live together in very small room. Marissa, with the red hair, and Shelley, with the dark hair and the very little waist.' 'I will tell you this one thing more,' Perssen continued. 'I was thinking the American women might not like uncircumcised, but I will let you know that is not the case!' 
2	Texas Store Owners Son Kills Armed Assailant, Saves Sisters Life [VIDEO] Once again the 2nd amendment saves the lives of the innocent.Despite Obamas efforts to restrict the use of guns among law abiding citizens, we see another perfect example of why we need them. A masked man armed with a shotgun entered a shop in Huston Texas, but luckily the shop owners son was ready for him. In this 2 minute video a shoot this young man exchanges fire with the masked robber protecting both his father and sister. He began unloading, first hitting him in the leg. The gun shot wounds would lead to the eventual death of the masked man later to be identified as Sam Abugalboush. Incidents like this happen all across the country, law abiding citizens protecting their lives and property with the protection of their legally purchased firearms, and the media refuses to acknowledge the overwhelming data that guns save lives!

2	Trey Gowdy Steps Up To Obama, OBLITERATES 2nd Amendment Restrictions Over the past few years, Trey Gowdy has made a name for himself as the head of the Benghazi committee. He has proven time and time again that he is not afraid to speak his mind, despite being the target of liberal fire. Now, a recent clip has been released of Gowdy giving an argument that ends the debate about allowing people to be put randomly on the government no-fly list, and their right to purchase firearms. Gowdys strength was in that he did not try to argueinstead he just highlighted an irrefutable point about the Second Amendment. Gowdy simply asked what other Amendments citizens were going to have to petition the government to get backand liberals went silent. What do you think of Gowdys argument? Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	According to alarming new figures released Monday by the U.S. Census Bureau, the nation's population of mature adults has been pushed to the brink of extinction, with only 104 grown-ups remaining in the country today. One of the last remaining grown-ups in the United States. The endangered demographic, which is projected to die out completely by 2060, is reportedly distinguished from other groups by numerous unique traits, including foresight, rationality, understanding of how to obtain and pay for a mortgage, personal responsibility, and the ability to enter a store without immediately purchasing whatever items they see and desire. 'Our grown-ups are disappearing at a much faster rate than we previously believed,' said Census Bureau chief Robert M. Groves, who believes the decline in responsible adults may now be irreversible. 'Unfortunately, we've only recently noticed this terrible trend, perhaps because of this group's unusual capacity to endure hardships with quiet dignity instead of whining loudly to draw attention to themselves.' 'If nothing is done, these wondrous individuals, with their special ability to consider the long-term consequences of their own behavior and act accordingly, will be wiped-out completely,' Groves added. According to recent data, the grown-up population has plummeted dramatically since 1950, when a Census count found that more than 24 million Americans could both admit when they were wrong and respect a viewpoint other than their own. Today, only one in three million citizens can provide thoughtful advice to a fellow human being instead of immediately shifting the topic to their own personal issues or what they had for lunch. Experts confirmed the mass extinction of grown-ups has coincided with the rapid expansion of other demographic groups, including people who seek medication for every problem they encounter, 33-year-olds who participate in organized kickball leagues, personal injury litigants, and parents who try to become friends with their own children. 'Grown-ups are as fascinating as they are rare,' said anthropologist Arthur Ambler, who has lived among level-headed adult populations and documented their lifestyle. 'It may seem odd to the rest of us, but for mature adults, occasionally putting the greater good ahead of their own interests or remaining calm when something doesn't go their way is commonplace.' 'Imagine confronting a problem directly instead of pointing a finger, cowering in fear, or pretending it just isn't happening,' Ambler added. 'This is how these people actually live, if you can believe that.' Many social scientists, including Ambler, have called for a complete record to be made of the declining population's customs, worrying that knowledge of how to dress for a job interview or when to rotate one's tires could soon be lost to civilization forever. Future generations, they soberly note, will likely go their whole lives never knowing a grown-up person. When contacted for comment, Colorado resident Ray Vogel, a grown-up, told reporters he was resigned to his group's fate. 'We recognize that our time has come and gone, and we're prepared to let nature run its course,' said the 54-year-old, who has a well-funded 401(k) and has never taken out a high-interest loan to purchase a Jet Ski. 'I'm just grateful my two children didn't turn out patient and considerate like me. They'd never be able to get anywhere in today's world.' According to Vogel, the nation's remaining grown-ups have drafted a letter to be read by the rest of us when they are gone that implores us to make 'good decisions' in their absence and explains how to reignite the pilot light on the hot-water heater should it go out. The note is also said to include some money that we are firmly instructed to use only in case of a real emergency. 
3	Connecticut Wants Behavioral Health Assessment of Public School Children and HomeschoolersBrandon Turbeville S.B. 374, co-sponsored by State Senator Toni Nathaniel Harp and State Representative Toni E. Walker, would require all homeschooled children at the ages of 12, 14, and 17 to undergo a behavioral health assessment. The assessment is to be completed by a health care provider, which will allegedly be confidential, with the results only being provided to the childs parent or guardian. Each health care provider would be required to complete a form supplied by the State Board of Education verifying that the child has received the assessment. Yet, S.B. 374 does not only attack the parental rights of homeschooled children. It also mandates that all children, even those enrolled in public school at grades 6, 8, 10 and 12, be given the same type of behavioral health evaluation. Of course, while the bill claims that the behavioral health evaluations will be confidential, such a statement is hard to believe considering the track record of State and Federal governments when it comes to private information. Not only that but, considering the attitude of many health care providers and mental health experts, the diagnosis of mental illness in homeschooled and even publicly schooled children has a very high probability of occurring. With so many normal behaviors now being considered mental illness, it is indeed very likely that any expert conducting the behavioral health assessment will find plenty of concerning aspects of the childs behavior. But without the relevant indoctrination provided by the public school system or even with the presence of additional information that does not conform to the values implanted by the school system, it is likely that the resulting difference in the mindset will itself be considered a problem in the mental health of the child. The Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) has provided a list of Senators and Representatives serving on the Connecticut Congressional Committee on Public Health. Whether or not you live in Connecticut, please contact these individuals and explain to them why they are endangering the education and development of children all across the State of Connecticut as well as destroying parental rights, one of the most basic rights afforded to human beings by nature and the divine. The legislators that should be contacted are as follows. Remember, a person-to-person interaction is always more effective than email. Senator Toni Nathaniel Harp and Representative Toni E.

1	Concluding proceedings of a case that will now be sent to a jury it lacked the means to properly vet, San Joaquin District Attorney James Willett told reporters Monday that he believes his office prosecuted a suspected murderer to the fullest extent of its budget. I can assure the public we used all of the very limited resources at our disposal to build this case, said Willett, adding that his underpaid colleagues never rested as they attempted to make up for the recent layoffs of their legal assistants. From day one we worked around the clock combing through whatever evidence had not been rendered inadmissible by the shoddy work of our overburdened, understaffed police force. Then we determined the maximum charges we could bring and settled on something lesser to ensure we got a conviction and avoided completely squandering our departments meager funding. Willett confirmed that he is confident the jury will put the suspect behind bars until whenever prison overcrowding forces the state to grant an early release. 
1	For the past six months, the columns and essays written by ESPN's Rick Reilly, including 'Why Michael Vick Deserves Redemption More Than I Do,' 'The Hot Stove And Why I Want To Put My Head In It,' and 'Caddying For The Grim Reaper,' have become increasingly punctuated by anguished appeals for someone to save him from himself, ESPN readers have noted. 'It will be here at Augusta, where so much golf history has taken place and where I'd like to walk slowly into a water hazard until the placid blue water closes over me, leaving no trace that I was ever born,' Reilly wrote in his column last week, a piece titled 'When It's Gone, It's Gone' which deals with Tiger Woods' slump and Reilly's apparent wish for self-destruction. 'And if he's doomed, if he disappears forever, you have to wonder if anyone would notice. Next week, I take Roger Clemens bowling and try to choke back the bile.'

3	Peaches for Prevention and Halting Cancer GrowthHeather Callaghan A Washington State University food scientist and colleagues at Texas AM have found that compounds in peaches can inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells and their ability to spread. They are emphasizing good nutrition for preventing cancer. Compelling research in Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, showed that the compounds could be recommended as a novel addition to therapies that reduce the risk of metastasis, or spread. But it doesnt have to come from a compound or supplement. Just two to three peaches a day, which could easily be achieved with a juicer, blender or blaster have an astounding effect. Giuliana Noratto, WSU assistant professor of food science says do three peaches a day. But, she is underscoring other foods as well, saying, Having enough fruits and vegetables that can provide these compounds in our diet, we might have a similar preventive effect. She noted plant traditions for healing. We have a huge tradition of medicinal plants. We are great believers that you can cure yourself by having a good diet and a good supply of medicinal plants. In 2009, showed that peach and plum extracts suppressed breast cancer cells cultured in Petri dishes. For this one, a lot of mice were sacrificed to find the answers. They implanted breast cancer cells into the skin of mice through a xenograft. After a week, they fed the mice varying doses of peach polyphenols, compounds that help plants ward off the damaging effects of the suns ultraviolet radiation. Noratto added: There are several studies showing that these compounds act as antioxidants and can therefore protect DNA against damage that can produce cancer. The internal sunscreen effect of fresh fruits and vegetables (like grapes) have been noted time and again. Noratto and colleagues wanted to see if these same compounds would make cancer cells commit suicide. After 12 days they saw that mice fed with high levels of polyphenols had tumors that grew less and without much of the blood vessel formation that can help cancer cells spread to other parts of the body. The tumors in those mice also had less evidence of enzymes involved in the spread and invasion of cancer. If scaled up to a 132-pound person, the same dose could be supplied by two to three peaches a day or a dietary supplement of peach polyphenol extract powder.

2	Youll Never Believe Where Obama Plans To Build A New Mosque Not surprisingly, when a group announced that they intended to build a mosque and Muslim community center right near ground zero, they were met with anger from the American public. Many Americans felt that the action was both insensitive and intentional. Of course, President Obama is in support of the construction. As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country, Obama announced. I understand the emotions that this issue engenders, he continued. Ground zero is, indeed, hallowed ground. This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable. The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country, and will not be treated differently by their government, is essential to who we are. Of course, once again Obama is prioritizing the rights of Muslims over the security of the rest of the American people. 
2	Judge Jeanine Just Rocked Obama... This Is Great We can always count on Judge Jeanine Pirro from Fox News Justice with Judge Jeanine to tell it like it is when it comes to President Barack Obama. In a recent segment, she called Obama out for failing to prepare America for imminent jihadist attacks. She also went on to claim that some of his reactions to incidents should get him impeached. Why is it that we only hear from him when a death involves a person of color? Pirro asked of her audience, claiming that Obama stokes the flames of racial resentment instead of healing our nation. She went on to remind Americans that many elected Obama with the idea that his presidency would bring with him the ability to put racism in the past. Still, his vocal participation in the cases of Eric Garner, Michael Brown, and Trayvon Martin has only created a further racial divide. Pirros sentiments echo those of WND columnist Larry Klayman, who made the statement that Obama has triggered a racial war. You do it all the time, said Pirro of executive action. Mr. President, if youre so concerned about racism, why dont you do something about it? 
3	Welcome to The Anthropocene: Group of Scientists Advocate Global GovernmentJuriaan Maessen The film itself follows the same old tiresome script weve heard so often from the mouths of neo-eugenic propagandists: too many people, shrinking icecaps, rising sea levels and the rest. The solution to all this doom and gloom? Global government of course. The leading scientific institutions the website mentions are visible at the credits-page, namely: the Stockholm Environment Institute, the Geosphere-Biosphere Programme, Stockholm University and other organisations promoting global governance. As part of the State of the Planet Declaration issued by the UN-backed organization, a collection of high-level scientists pushes the idea of global governance, calling it Earth System Governance. The declaration reads: Governments must take action to support institutions and mechanisms that will improve coherence, as well as bring about integrated policy and action across the social, economic and environmental pillars. Current understanding supports the creation of a Sustainable Development Council within the UN system to integrate social, economic and environmental policy at the global level. There is also strong support for strengthening global governance by including civil society, business and industry in decision-making at all levels. At all levels. Listed among the measures required to strengthen global governance is: continued exploration of new areas of knowledge, such as theoretical and applied research in behavioural science (). In a separate policy brief put out by the confab titled Transforming Governance and Institutions for a Planet under Pressure the initiators again openly promote the emergence of global government when they write under the header Prepare Global Governance for a Warmer World: At the global level, the institutional framework seems ill prepared to cope with the consequences of massive global change that will affect such major systems as food, water, energy, health and migration, and their interactions. While massive changes, for example in sea level, may not be imminent, future dangers can be minimized if institutional reform is planned and negotiated today. Global adaptation programmes thus need to become a core concern of the UN system and governments. The Planet under Pressure turned out to be a true feast of global government-proposals. One of sessions at the conference mentions no less than four sessions devoted to the idea of using ecological calamities, feigned or not, to accelerate the emergence of global government. Risk governance of slow-developing, catastrophic risks Organizing Science to Address Transboundary and Global Environmental Threats Exploring the global context of science-policy integration for effective management of environmental risks Geoengineering, Governance and Social-Ecological Systems Some Critical Reflections Catalysing improved global governance for sustainability and sustainable development: some lessons from experience and principles for improved science policy engagement Dont forget, this is just a sample. One sometimes grows weary of all these calls for world government. One grows even wearier of the reason submitted for it: global climate change. It has of course been exhaustively documented that if theres one thing constant about the climate, is that it changes constantly. Furthermore, the idea of world government is much older than any global warming-craze the elite have come up with. As the Club of Rome, a pioneer-organization of the entire eco-fascist global takeover, stated in their First Global Revolution: In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill.

2	ISIS Beheads Teenager For Listening To Western Music According to some disturbing new reports, ISIS recently executed a teenage boy in public for listening to western music. 15-year-old Ayham Hussein was arrested by ISIS militants in central Mosul, in Iraqs northwestern Nineveh province. He was reportedly captured by the jihadists while listening to Pop music at the grocery store of his fathers marketplace in western Mosul. Hussein was ultimately referred to the Sharia Court, which issues a decision to execute him, a spokesman for the Nineveh media center told ARA News. ISIS jihadis publicly beheaded the boy, the source told reporters, speaking only on the condition of anonymity. The victims body was reportedly delivered to the boys family on Tuesday evening. Of course, the incident is being met by outrage among Mosuls residents. There was no formal decision by the Sharia court that banned listening to western music, the source told reporters. What do you think? Does ISIS need to be stopped immediately? 
2	6 Thugs Facing 1600 Years In Prison For A Truly Disgusting Crime Six Texas thugs are facing a combined total of nearly 10,000 years in prison after gang raping a 15-year-old girl who was playing hooky. The jury in Waco, Texas, determined that Devoric Javon Evanas, 20, Lamont Trey Davis, 19, Daytron Derrell Smith, 18, DaJaun Oshea Degrate, 18, Cory Darnell Hall, 18, and Douglas Demond Canada, 19 were guilty of the crime. According to police, two of the men convinced the 15-year-old girl to skip school in April, at which point the six men raped her. She went with a couple of boys she though she knew, and then a bad situation became much worse, claims Sergeant Patrick Swanton. The girl told police that Canada had asked her if she was freaky, at which point she told the boys that she wanted to leave. Instead, they walked her into the bedroom. They all had sex with me one at a time, the girl told police. The thugs were charged with 13 counts of first-degree felony aggravated sexual assault of a child, and two counts of sexual assault of a child. They are also accused of acting in concert with one another, which allows them to be held responsible for each others crimes. What do you think? Is a lifetime prison sentence enough for these men? 
1	NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced a stricter league concussion policy at a press conference Sunday, finalizing a provision that would automatically charge a fine of $10,000 to any player who suffers a concussion. 'Concussions have become a serious problem in the lives of current and former NFL players, and the only way to nip this thing in the bud is to make the players accountable,' Goodell said. 'Ten thousand dollars for the first concussion, $30,000 for the second, and $70,000 for the third. Hopefully these fines will make our players think twice before they have their brains jostled against the insides of their skulls.' Goodell later added that the league is also considering harsher punishments for more serious injury-related behavior, saying that players who sever their spinal cords would face indefinite suspension and, in most cases, be stripped of their pensions. 
2	Crazy Man Attempts To Kill Donald Trump? One Dead.... According to recent reports, a man who was arrested earlier this month for brutally murdering a UPS driver is now saying he committed the crime because he mistakenly believed he was killing President-elect Donald Trump. Daily Caller reports that 38-year-old Justin Barkley of Ithaca was arrested and charged with fatally shooting William Schumacher in a Wal-Mart parking lot two weeks ago. When he was arraigned at the beginning of this week, Barkley made the shocking claim he had killed Trump, not Schumacher. I shot and killed Donald Trump purposely, intentionally and very proudly, Barkley said at the hearing. When the judge pressed Barkley, he claimed he knew the difference between killing Trump and killing Schumacher. Still, he insisted that Trump is dead. When the judge asked if anyone could convince him otherwise, Barkley responded, I hope not. The judge presiding over the case ultimately refused Barkleys guilty pleas and instead ordered him to undergo a psychiatric evaluation. He is facing 25 years in prison if he is convicted of his crimes. This comes at a time when liberals have been calling for protests and extreme actions against Trumpso an attack like this, while scary, isnt entirely surprising.

3	FBI Report Accidentally Exposes the Severity of the Police StateCarey Wedler The report found that across the entire country, only 76 LEOs were killed in line-of-duty incidents. 27 died as a result of felonious acts and 49 officers died in accidentsnamely, automobile (ironically, of the 23 killed in car accidents, 14 were not wearing seat beltsa violation for which cops routinely ticket drivers). More officers die from accidents than actual murders on the job. The report alsooutright admits that intentional murders of cops were down from 2004 and 2009. Further, 49,851 officers were assaulteda statistic that seemingly proves police are at risk. 29.2%, or 14,556, were actually injured (an admittedly high number). Still, a suspect fact is that 79.8% of the time, assailants used personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.). This means that in a vast majority of cases, there was no physical evidence that assault occurred (outside of potential bruises and cuts,but this information is not public). Punches and kicks can be damaging, but nowhere near firearms and knives, which constituted a very small percentage of assaults. The report also does not specify what constitutes an injury, making designations of injury potentially arbitrary and subjective. This means that the common police tactic of misrepresenting scuffles and charging people with assault could be at work (such as when a cop squeezed the breast of an Occupy protester so hard he left a bruise and in the chaos, she accidentally elbowed a cop. She went to jail for assaulting an officer). Of course, its a possibility that all 49,851 officers were simply doing their jobs, but at the very least it is important to be skeptical. But besides direct contradictions to the logic behind institutional myths of heroic cops and dangerous bad guys, what are the implications of this FBI report? First, that police are schizophrenic in their belief that they are in danger (this fear is proven in the recent Ferguson protests and presence of the National Guard). The overzealous militarization of local cops is enough to prove that they might as well be hiding under blankies from the American populace in spite of the fact thatviolent crime has been dropping for decades. However, considering how well cops are armed and how efficiently the justice system protects them from prosecution for their crimes, they prove to be paranoid. 27 police officers in a country with over 300 million people died last year. Law enforcement deaths-by-murder are included in the 49,851 assaults against officers, which means that .05 (half a percent) died as a result of alleged attacks. Crime against cops has dropped to a 50 year low. Its more dangerous to drive a car than be a cop (this is bolstered by the fact that the number of cops who died in car accidents almost equals the total number of cops murdered23 to 27). Second, militarization is working for the police. It is not working for the rest of us. Though there is little reliable, official data about the number of people police kill every year, tenuous reports claim it is around 400. This is already almost 15 times more than police who are intentionally killed. However, the 400 figure is a result of 17,000 local police agencies being allowed to self-report. The numbers could be far higher. As Tech Dirt said of a 2008 FBI report that found cops had killed 391 people in 2007: That count only includes homicides that occurred during the commission of a felony. This total doesnt include justifiable homicides committed by police officers against people not committing felonies and also doesnt include homicides found to be not justifiable. But still, this severe undercount far outpaces the number of cops killed by civilians. The number of justifiable homocides was on the rise in 2008 (to be fair, it was rising among private citizens as well) in spite of the inconvenient fact that overall crime has been declining. Unfortunately, the most important implication of the FBI report is the simple fact that the report exists. When the FBI takes the time to construct a meticulous report (you can read more details here) of all the ways that a tiny percentage of cops were killedbut cannot be bothered to officially count civilian deaths at the hands of cops, the reality is obvious: The governemnt places a higher priority on their own than on the lives of those they claim to serve, protect, and work for. It cares more about exonerating the police of their crimes than providing justice to those they abuse. There is no justice when the criminal is the cop.

3	Food and Farm Freedom Featured in Corporate Media ShowdownHeather Callaghan Liz Reitzig, founder of Nourishing Liberty, faces off with a heavily-pushed-by-media (and a part of the media) GMO mouthpiece and John Stossel at 9:15, but I recommend watching from the beginning. But who is it that shes up against? Its GMO front-runner, Jon Entine Why is this guy advising the public? The bulk of his career is not in science, genetics (although he writes about it), food or medicine. Yet, he is often present as the voice of science and reason. Taken in whole, its in media and public relations, although he will adamantly deny that and any deep connection with Monsanto and chemical industries. Tom Philpott writes: Entine also runs a consultancy, ESG MediaMetrics. The firmshomepage lists Monsanto as a select client. Among its core services, itlists Media strategy, writing, speechwriting, and engagement with critics. Describing itsmedia services, it declares, We manage and create reputations. We bring to every challenge our vast experience as active journalists, public relations and media specialists, international scholars, and advisers for Fortune 500 corporations. In other words, he has the expertise to throw wrenches or tomatoes, and sit back while everyone gets angry and tries to counter it. He is to make genetic modification and chemicals in food look reasonable, and opponents look crazy. Meanwhile, the core issues and concerns are shielded. Any time you find him, he will be accusing someone or some group of deceitfulness, hate and having an agenda. It works But so does standing on your values, knowledge and consumer rights. Liz Reitzig, that took courage to appear live on Stossel and face off with the likes of Entine! I think her words and radiance are a testament of the good health enjoyed from real food without chemical pesticides and, like she says, going beyond organic, straight to the farm with an emphasis on small-scale practices like soil revitalization. Liz was poised and correct in admitting (and also further explaining) the parcels of truth that Entine brought in about the bigger organic industry, imports from China, and lax USDA certified organic standards. He attempts to paint the mega organic industry as all bad, futile and as thought its exploiting the public. There is indeed a dark side to it but thats not what Liz was referring to in regards to buying healthy food! Do you see how Entine constantly threw out flames (or bait) that the other side had to constantly address? It was never meant to be an open conversation about chemicals in food. He kept to projecting tired lines about organic flaws knowing full well what she just said about which organic. The debate was set up that way on purpose with Entine and Stossel going on offense. Its important that viewers got to see the facts Liz came prepared and knew that body of knowledge. She stuck with the main points of knowing your direct source of food and how its grown not just buying the organic label. GMO front-runners enjoy talking about the organic agenda. See what you think when you compare the two agendas. Unfortunately, what average viewers get to see is often a thinly veiled smear campaign. With people like Liz stepping up to the plate, writers and activists dont have to be a voice crying in the wind but a bold call in the media for self-empowerment. Liz is also a Weston A. Price Foundation chapter leader they love to help people find their farm source and healthy food.

1	According to an alarming new study released Monday by the University of Chicago, children raised in households where alcoholism is present are at a significantly greater risk of writing and performing a one-man show than those who grow up in a more stable environment. The study found that males raised by alcoholic parents are 40 percent more likely to someday force their friends to attend a self-penned theatrical production about their life experiences, and the same painful behavior is eight times more prevalent in women over the age of 30 who have alcoholic fathers than those who do not. According to the report, of the 250 one-man shows that premiered last month, three quarters of them, including Pops, A Life, and Youngstown, Ohio 1976, were directly linked to a relative who abused alcohol. Before you know it, theyre caught in the self- destructive pattern of doing the show every other Friday. Its really tough to watch. Children who have an alcoholic parent or grandparent can start displaying one-man show warning signs as early as 12, the studys lead author, Dr. Richard Lowden, told reporters. And once these kids develop an interest in theater and start working on impressions of their alcoholic family members, its a path to disaster. To see them throw their lives away by performing an hour-and-a-half-long monologue for 15 people in a tiny black-box theater is just plain sad, he added. Tragic even. The study, which asserted that every six seconds an individual from an alcoholic household comes up with the idea to open his one-man show by lighting a cigarette, found that if the urge to incorporate a collage of baby photos into the performance isnt addressed immediately, a young adult may begin experimenting with dangerously melodramatic lines of dialogue, such as, You dont really know rock bottom until you hit it, or, People are funny, arent they? Soon, the report said, these performers become addicted to the thought of directly quoting a Shel Silverstein poem at the conclusion of their show, and are heavily predisposed toward wearing a baseball cap for the sequence in which they portray their father showing up drunk to little-league practice. By the time they realize how pathetic they look reenacting a family dinner scene by themselves, its already too late, Lowden said. Before you know it, theyre caught in the self- destructive pattern of doing the show every other Friday. Its really tough to watch. The worst part is they are completely oblivious as to how much they are hurting not just themselves, but everyone around them, Lowden said. Especially their loved ones, the people who feel obligated to attend the show more than once and then awkwardly tell them how good it was afterwards. According to the study, the magnitude of the familys bout with alcoholism is directly related to the length of the production, the number of accents performed, and how much screaming the actor is likely to do on stage. A performer who grew up with two alcoholic parents is at a much greater risk of wearing a wig during the show. Kids who come from households where alcoholism led to violence or sexual abuse are in danger of having the absolute worst one-man shows, Lowden said. Ones where the performer puts his own clever little spin on the pre-show turn-off-your-cell-phone announcement. Or ones where the actor plays his guitar. Ugh, just the absolute worst. A report released Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said that alcoholism is the third leading contributor to one-man shows, outpacing having immigrant parents, surviving cancer, and having an ex-girlfriend. A desire to be the center of attention paired with a delusional belief in ones talent remain the leading causes of one-man shows. These kids need to know that having an alcoholic parent doesnt mean they are predetermined to perform a one-man show, University of Virginia psychologist Harriet Courtly said. They have a choice. They can engage in this embarrassing, hurtful behavior, or they can drink themselves to death and keep it to themselves like everyone else.

2	Obama Insults Trump President Obama took his agenda to a new level when he recently said that he does not believe that GOP frontrunner Donald Trump will make it to the White House. I continue to believe Mr. Trump will not be president, Obama said at a press conference in Rancho Mirage, California. And the reason is because I have a lot of faith in the American people. Obama then went on to claim that he believes that Americans still see the presidency as a serious job. Its not hosting a talk show, or a reality show, he continued (which is a bit ironic given his numerous appearances on talk showsbut we digress). Its not a promotion. Its not marketing. Its hard and a lot of people count on us getting it right. Its hard to believe that Obama can possibly maintain that he has gotten it right, but his ego clearly has gotten the best of him. He went on to criticize the rest of the GOP, claiming that foreign observers are troubled by the GOPs rhetoric. Specifically, he argued, they are concerned about Republicans doubting climate change and making proposals to ban Muslims. Trump was quick to fire back at Obama, claiming that he has done a lousy job. He has set us back so far, and for him to actually say that is a great compliment, if you want to know the truth, Trump commented in South Carolina. Sorry, Obama. Wed take any of the GOP candidates over you any day. What do you think of his comments?

1	Alarmed by rising high-school dropout rates and declining test scores, buck-naked education consultant Dr. Donald Scherr urged America's youth to 'put education first' during an address to more than 300 educators and students Monday. Buck-naked education consultant Donald Scherr (far right) offers a group of teachers tips on how to better motivate students. 'No matter what you want to be, a good education is the way to get there,' said Scherr, his limp penis hanging visibly. 'Your mind is like a car's gas tank: If you don't fill it, your future doesn't look so good.' The unclothed Scherr also took teachers to task for allowing standards to dip sharply over the past two decades. 'A student today can graduate from high school knowing little more than the multiplication tables and who the current president is. Not long ago, that student would have been bumped back to the third grade,' he said, sweat forming in the folds of stomach fat hanging down over his waist. 'Every student should graduate high school knowing why World War I happened, how to determine the volume of a cylinder, and the difference between a simile and a metaphor. And if they do not, it is largely the fault of you, their teachers.' Scherr, who caught many of the educators in attendance off guard with his stinging words of rebuke and full-frontal nudity, said that U.S. schools are suffering from what he termed 'buck-passing,' whereby the most serious problems affecting the nation's children are being written off as 'someone else's problem.' 'We all need to stop looking for where to place the blame and start looking for real solutions,' the small-nippled author of Why Johnny Can't Read: 22 Steps To Making America's Schools Work Again said. 'This is everybody's problem.' While all U.S. schools have been hit hard by the drop in federal education funding over the last 20 years, Scherr said that it is inner-city schools that have suffered the most. 'No matter how hard-working and determined a poor, inner-city youth is, without access to a solid education, that child will not acquire the skills necessary to break the cycle of poverty. We must not allow this shameful inequality to continue,' said Scherr, his scrotal sac rising slightly as he thumped the podium to emphasize his point. Scherr closed by saying that in this era of declining interest in education, an active, interested parent is more important than ever. 'Find out what's happening in your kid's education and get involved. Help them with their homework. Meet regularly with their teachers. Ask to see their report card. But above all, encourage them. Otherwise, we are putting society's most valuable resourceour future leadersat a real disadvantage.'

2	Beck Just Destroyed Kanye In The Classiest Way Possible Once again Kanye West made a scene at the Grammy Awards when Beck won Album of the Year over Beyonce, Sam Smith, and several other contenders. Although the stunt was believed to be a joke, Kanye did make some very insulting comments in an after-show interview. I just know that, the Grammys, if they want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us, we arent going to play with them no more, Kanye claimed. At this point, were tired of it. What happens is, when you keep on diminishing art, and not respecting the craft, and smacking people in the face after they deliver monumental feats of music, youre disrespectful to inspirationThats why I didnt say anything tonight, but you all knew what it meant when Ye stepped on that stage. Being the class act that he is, Beck responded in the most respectful way he could have. What do you think of Becks response? 
3	Deadstream Media Shows Bias In Reporting On Violence At Dakota Access Pipeline ProtestBy Derrick Broze After a relatively quiet week at the site of construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, violence erupted between protesters and a team of security officers hired by the company behind the project. Local media reports unquestioningly repeated statements from the Morton County Sheriffs Office which claimed that the violence was initiated by the protesters. 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. Around 2:30 on Saturday afternoon, an estimated two to three hundred supporters from the Red Warrior Camp marched to the construction site. The marchers climbed over a fence to get closer to the site. As they neared the site the scene became violent. Onceprotestersarrived at the construction area, they broke down a wire fence by stepping and jumping on it,the sheriffs office said. According to numerous witnesses within five minutes the crowd ofprotesters, estimated to be a few hundred people became violent. They stampeded into the constructionarea with horses, dogs and vehicles.Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier said it was more like a riot than a protest. The Morton County Sheriffs office saidfour private security guards and two guard dogs were injured in the melee.While reports of horses and a few hundred people were true, the originof the violence is unclear. Videos of the incident clearly show protesters using flag poles to defend against theattack dogs being wielded by security officers. There are currently no known videos showing knives being used by protesters. However, there are videos showing protesters with wounds from the dogs and pepper spray being used indiscriminately against the crowd. For a powerful look at the violence see the report below from Democracy Now! The Standing Rock Sioux Tribereportedthat six people had been bitten by security dogsand atleast 30 people were pepper-sprayed.Vicki Granado, a spokeswoman for Energy Transfer Partners, told CBS the protesters attacked the workers. The protesters were eventually successful in driving off the security officers and halting construction. However, Tribal Chairman David Archambault II said that workers returned during the early morning hours on Sunday and dug up more ground. In response to the violence and the continued construction,the Standing Rock Sioux filed an emergency motion in court on Sunday seeking a temporary restraining order seeking to prevent destruction sacred sites which are threatened by theDakota Access Pipeline. On Saturday, Dakota Access Pipeline and Energy Transfer Partners brazenly used bulldozers to destroy our burial sites, prayer sites and culturally significant artifacts, Archambault said in a statement. They did this on a holiday weekend, one day after we filed court papers identifying these sacred sites. The desecration of these ancient places has already caused the Standing Rock Sioux irreparable harm. Were asking the court to halt this path of destruction. TheStanding Rock Sioux believes they were not properly consulted before the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approvedthe pipeline project. A U.S. District Court in Washington D.C. is expected to rule by September 9 on whether the Army Corps of Engineers violated the law. Destroying the Tribes sacred places over a holiday weekend, while the judge is considering whether to block the pipeline, shows a flagrant disregard for the legal process, said Jan Hasselman, attorney for the Standing Rock Sioux. The Tribe has been seeking to vindicate its rights peacefully through the courts. But Dakota Access Pipeline used evidence submitted to the Court as their roadmap for what to bulldoze. Thats just wrong. One of the most disturbing aspects of this weekendis the outright lies and bias from the deadstream (formerly known as the mainstream) media. While social media pages were filled with videos showing the protesters, or protectors as they prefer, being pepper sprayed and attacked, it would be hours and days before the local media corrected the reports to admit that the security officers were violent. Following the incident, KXNews in North Dakotareported: Once inside, pipeline security officers were hit and jabbed with fence posts and flag poles. Knives were also reportedly pulled out. By the end of the weekend, the story had been updated to reflect the violence used by the security officers. Authorities and protesters have both reported tactics including assault, tear-gas release, and use of attack dogs. Its not confirmed if Dakota Access used tear-gas or attack dogs on protesters, but many people their say thats what they saw. I wasnt expecting them to mace, it came out of now where. They let the dogs loose on a horse, and they maced a woman in the face, this close range, thats what started it all, say protesters. This event should serve as an importantreminder of how criticaldefeating the media is in order to create a more free and ethical world.When you sit back and analyze the problems of our world you begin to recognize that the culprit behind the turmoil is not simply a corrupt president, or judges, or even corruption in local police departments. The infection runs deep in this system. One of the most crucial aspects of this fight is the control and influence exerted by the corporate media. Without the corporately controlled, State-friendly narrative being pushed on billions of television and computer screens the masses would recognize the truth of our situation. Without the deadstream media pundits, who would teach us to be divided and ignorant? Take solace in the fact that every time the deadstream media attempts to selllies and keep us divided, the independent, people-driven media is there to tell the truth and to expose the lies. Take heart in the fact that the people of all nations are rising and taking the truth to the media whether they want to hear it or not. selfnews Post recently reported that the Red Warrior Camp issued a callfor all allies to stand In Houston I had the pleasure of supporting and documenting a Water Is Life March. This morning Houstonians took their fight to the local media by rallying, drumming, and praying outside of the offices of Channel 11 KHOU during the filming of local talk show Great Day with Debra Duncan. Houston is not alone in supporting the Sacred Stone Camp and the Red Warrior Camp. Over 120 tribal nations have now joined together in this fight to protect the water, defend the Earth, and push for a more sustainable future. Its time for all the free hearts and minds of all nations to stand up to the empire. Derrick Broze is an investigative journalist and liberty activist.

Image Credit stand your ground!! im proud that all native people comes together and fight for justice. SINCE EUROPEANS ARRIVED IN N. AMERICA, 55 M INDIGENOUS The Rothschild corporate bankster empire needs that oil gas. Why should native Americans be treated any different than Iraqis by Zio hirelings and mercenaries? That have disappeared because they are an inferior culture. They continue to prove that inconvenient truth. No they arent an inferior culture; it isnt the indigenous people who are murdering our Earth, its the greedy rich white people who are destroying Earth and all her inhabitants. Native Americans are intelligent enough to realize that if we destroy our planet, in search of yet more oil (instead of free energy) we kill our home and Earth will no longer support life. This might seem like a simple thing to understand but too many white people with $ simply dont get it. So whos the one with an inferior culture, again? why the shouting? i know,im part of the indigenous people of Norway and i support the First Nations struggle.. Notice to the red terrorists- Western civilization has declared you obsolete! Speaking of garbage, take a look into yourself and describe what you see. You seem to be a human being without a soul. How would you feel if one day your whole race was wiped out for greed? Oh sorry! I forgot. You have no feelings. It has been blocked YOU ARE THE TERRORIST, spreading ignorant and vile hatred against a people you know absolutely nothing about. Your comment is vile and you need to be banned from this site, you add absolutely NOTHING to the conversation. Hello, sacred site = ancient garbage dump. I like that. My grandmother was a Blackfoot Indian. She married a German fellow, and they had several children. They worked hard and fit into the USA system. Im 1/4 Blackfoot Indian. I am part of the USA system, and I suggest that those rioters stop their foolishness and join the USA system. Their sacred site (AKA ancient garbage dump), is now owned by whoever is putting in a pipeline, and they should be grateful that some economic activity is taking place. Maybe they should be applying for a job helping to put in the pipeline instead of being part of a group of troublemakers. Bill Moore Scenes like this are playing into their hands. The people are duped and dont know it. I like the term Deadstream Media compared to the old passive Mainstream media, and the Dakota Access protest movement as this article states has to insure that some alternative (and honest) media is available to counter the Deadstream media. However, it is even more important in broadening the awareness and truth of the overall conflict that the media should really be understood as being only one sector - the media/propaganda-sector of the overall Disguised Global Capitalist EMPIRE. This Disgusied Global Capitalist EMPIRE has now captured, controlled, and nearly fully Occupies our former country which the EMPIRE uses and abuses as its nominal global HQ, and merely poses as, the country PKA (Previously Known As) America: There is no more country of America, or the United States of America, nor the Republic for which it stands, nor certainly a functioning democracy, nor certainly the essential nation unless the essential nation is defined as a perfect hiding place for the metropole of the Disguised Capitalist Global EMPIRE. And the media/propaganda sector of the EMPIRE is only one of the EMPIREs seven highly-integrated (but well hidden) sectors of; corporate, financial, militarist, media-propaganda, extra-legal, CFR Wall Streets Think Tank, and this dual-party Vichy-political facade of faux-democracy behind BOTH the tougher-talking neocon R Vichy Party and the smoother-lying neoliberal-con D Vichy Party BOTH of which are totally controlled This has been developed, intellectually and in practice, as part of a Council of Foreign Relations-inspired, neoliberal geopolitical empire characterized by the destruction of unions and working-class communities, privatization, speculation, grotesque economic inequality, ecological destruction, and the mass violence of war and conquest. The structures of domination have largely been hidden, the solidarity mechanisms of working-class people have been undermined, and debate about alternatives has been limited, omitting the fact that a different socioeconomic project one worthy of humanitys best thoughts and feelings is possible. The neoliberal geopolitical world is presented as an empire of liberty, but in reality it is an empire of Shoup, Laurence H. (2015-08-22). Wall Streets Think Tank: The Council on Foreign Relations and the Empire of Neoliberal Geopolitics, 1976-2014 (Kindle Locations 4127-4133). Monthly Review Press. Kindle Edition. So, we need to WAKE THE EFF-UP folks! Its (not) the economy, stupid as Liar in chief Bill said 2 decades ago. Its the EMPIRE, Stupid Hello, Call in the National Guard. The people who are installing the pipeline own the right-of-way or they would not be installing the pipeline. The hordes of rabble need to be dispersed or arrested. 
2	Megyn Kelly Humiliated After THIS Happens On Live TV [VIDEO] Megyn Kelly has gotten mixed reviews in the past year, especially following her attack on Donald Trump during the GOP debates. So she probably wasnt thrilled when she encountered yet another on-air humiliation this week. According to reports, Megyn Kelly interviewed Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus on her show Tuesday night. During the segment, she pushed him to talk negatively about the current Trump Campaign CEO, Steve Bannon. Kelly desperately tried to get Priebus to criticize statements Bannon had made about the GOP establishment, but he refused to give her what she wanted. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is Kellys career quickly spiraling? 
1	Expressing their desire to provide American students with a well-rounded education, officials from the Department of Education announced Tuesday they had hired 26-year-old art teacher Kelsey Alexander to be spread evenly across all U.S. public schools. Ms. Alexander is a well-qualified teacher, and we have the utmost confidence that she will provide quality art instruction to our nations students as she rotates through each of the 98,000 public schools in this country, said Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, who explained that Alexander will teach a 40-minute studio art course to each of the grade levels at a different school each day, beginning with Colby High School in Denver on Wednesday, until she eventually visits every school in the nation, at which point she will cycle back to the beginning and start again. An education in the visual arts is a vital part of every childs education, and with Ms. Alexanders hiring, we can now guarantee that each student in America will have an art class at some point during their K-through-12 years. We know she will make a wonderful addition to every single school district in the country. As of press time, Alexander had spent an estimated $3.2 million out of pocket on the art supplies needed for her lessons. 
3	How the U.S. Govt Uses Foreign Aid to Force Countries to Buy GMO SeedsAaron Dykes and Melissa Melton I would like to tell the U.S. Ambassador to stop pressuring the Government (of El Salvador) to buy improved GM seeds, said [President of the El Salvadoran Center for Appropriate Technologies (CESTA)] Navarro, which is only of benefit to U.S. multinationals and is to the detriment of local seed production, reported Sustainable Pulse. Through the Millennium Challenge Corporation, a self-described independent U.S. foreign aid agency that is helping to lead the fight against global poverty, created by Congress in 2004, $277 million in aid is being dangled over El Salvadors head if, as the World War 4 Report puts it, the Salvadoran Agriculture Ministry continues its current practice of buying seeds from small-scale Salvadoran producers for its Family Agriculture Plan. The threat was apparently made, with clear intentions to advance the interests of transnational agricultural companies. While distributing seed packets under the program from small Salvadoran producers (instead of multinational corporations like Monsanto) have actually spurred the growth of basic food crops by a third and employed over 200,000 hectares for cultivation thus achieving the goals that MCCs entire existence are supposedly based on nearly $300 million in aid might be withheld simply because El Salvador isnt using Monsantos GMO seeds. So which is it? Foreign aid or a corporate pay day? Yes. Apparently Americais doing those things. As Jeffrey M. Smith of the Institute for Responsible Technology once told Russia Today, Basically if were dealing with the federal government, were dealing with an arm of Monsanto. After all, its to the point that a former Monsanto lawyer and Vice President for Public Policy is currently sitting as our FDA Deputy Commissioner for Foods. Smith briefly discusses just some of the dangers from GMOs in the RT interview below: But the Millennium Challenge Corporation is no ordinary agency, and El Salvador is not the only country receiving its aid. El Salvador is just one snapshot of a larger, global picture. To give you an understanding of who is running MCC and whats involved, lets dig a little deeper. Currently, six of the nine members are listed on the Council on Foreign Relations official membership roster. Heres a little background information so you can understand who these people are and where they have been. CFRs official description of the video above is that Shah is discussing how foreign assistance and development efforts can spread U.S. values, deter conflict, and shape a more peaceful world. (Emphasis added. Be sure you read between the lines on that one. In fact, you pretty much have to read between the lines on anything these people say.) While the MCC notes that it partners with key shareholders in the private sector, theres no list of corporations easily found on the sitethat is, unless you count this report, Congressional Budget Justification for FY 2009 which lists American businesses who proudly support MCC and its innovative approach to economic development assistance, including producers and beneficiaries of genetically modified seeds such as Monsanto, Cargill, Dow Chemical Company, Mars Incorporated, Starbucks Coffee, Pioneer Hi-Bred, in addition to Raytheon, GE, Microsoft, Citigroup, Boeing, Verizon, GlaxoSmithKline and many others. MCC has signed memorandums of understanding with the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) a major initiative by the Rockefeller and Gates Foundations that was launched, staffed and largely the baby of now-USAID director Millennium Challenge Corporation director Rajiv Shah as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Government of Denmark, GE, Microsoft, and the United Nations World Food Program among others. In addition, this document shows that tens of millions of dollars flow from MCC to major defense contractors the likes of Booz Allen Hamilton and PA Consulting (now headed by Bilderbergs Marcus Agius [a Rothschild]) for things like agriculture consulting. El Salvador is only one of nearly 40 countries being helped through MCC with millions in U.S. government aid. Clearly there is a larger strategy to push for global GMO adoption and even outright domination at the expense of traditional agriculture and local farmers. According to MCCs statute, a country may have its eligibility or assistance suspended or terminated if the country has engaged in activities contrary to the national security interests of the United States. Again, read between the lines here. What, you think the American governments national security interests and idea of aid are (a shiny happy fun time where we actually help people with food security and sustainable economic policies) and what the United States of America, Inc., the sultan of corporate imperialism, believes they are might very well be two very different things? El Salvadors compact with MCC says it is supposed to fuel economic growth, but only if that growth is fueled the way Uncle Sam wants it to be through (or rather to) our mega-corporations. Have you come to the realization yet that this whole thing is nothing more than a fancy way to subsidize U.S.-based multinational corporations at the expense of local farmers all over the world thus allowing patented biotechnology to purposefully displace locally adapted heritage agriculture in as many places as possible under the guise of helping these poor countries out?

2	Obama Refuses To Meet With San Bernardino Victims, But Does THIS Instead Shortly after the San Bernardino terrorist attack that killed 14 innocent Americans and left 22 more injured, President Barack Obama has finally decided to speak up. Unfortunately for the families of the victims, he has decided to defend only American Muslims. In spite of the fact that we know the attackers were Muslim, Obama has accused Americans of unfairly accusing Muslims of participating in terrorism. On top of that, he has not even taken the time to meet with the families of the victims. The president will speak about the American tradition of being a welcoming society, the White House claimed ahead of the event, which was being held in acknowledgement of the 224th anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights. And the incredible contributions of immigrants and refugees to our nation. Its clear that Obama was using the opportunity to twist the events of our history. Immigration is our origin story, Obama said, stand beside the Constitution. This comment followed a comparison between Syrian refugees and pilgrims. Obama then launched into his tired discussion about discrimination, all the while ignoring the fact that Americans have a right to be concerned. It is not out of the question that a Syrian refugee could be planning to attack America. Weve seen it in other countries. As if that werent enough to teach America a lesson, it was recently reported that hundreds of refugees were spotted with pictures of ISIS on their cell phones. This isnt religious persecution like we saw in Nazi Germanythis is national securityand its the presidents job to protect. What do you think? Do we need Obama out of the White House as fast as possible? 
3	Americas Creeping War in SyriaBy Tony Cartalucci It was clear in 2011 that the United States sought regime change in Syria, just as it did in Libya. It was clear that it had backed heavily armed sectarian extremists to carry out this regime change. What wasnt clear, at least apparently to US policymakers, was the resolve the Syrian government, the Syrian Arab Army, and the Syrian people themselves had to defeat this conspiracy, revealed as early as 2007 by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh in his 2007 New Yorker piece, The Redirection. In it, Hersh revealed that the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Israel were determined to build a proxy army of sectarian extremists aligned with or sympathetic to Al Qaeda, for the purpose of undermining and overthrowing the nations of Syria and Iran. By 2011, with Libya already decimated by NATO-backed extremists, the US State Department was busy transferring weapons and terrorists from Benghazi and Eastern Europe to Turkey where they would be staged, armed, trained, and sent in to invade Syria. As the Syrian government confounded the US proxy war, at various stages attempts were made for a more direct intervention again, just like in Libya. However, attempts to create a safe zone in northern Syria or otherwise carry out strikes on the Syrian military itself were blocked by both the realities on the ground and the support of Syrias allies Russia, China, and Iran. When Russia entered the conflict, the calculus changed dramatically. The prospects of direct intervention by the West against the Syrian government all but dimmed entirely, and what was exposed as a feigned US fight with the self-proclaimed Islamic State (ISIS) gave way to a very real Russian-led war on the terrorist group and its affiliates across the country, in coordination with Syrian troops on the ground. Quickly the true source of ISIS fighting capacity supply lines stretching out of NATO-member Turkeys territory, long protected by NATO itself since the conflict began came under threat. Russian warplanes are now flying sorties directly along the border, decimating ISIS-bound convoys long before delivering their supplies, weapons, and fresh fighters. Syrian troops have likewise made significant gains near borders they once were deterred from approaching because of NATO treachery. The endgame is soon approaching, and to prevent this, the US and its regional allies have begun a series of provocations meant to tip toe the West into deeper war in the region, and in particular, against Russia and Syria. Turkeys downing of a Russian Su-24 bomber inside Syrian airspace, with Turkish-backed terrorists then gunning down one of the parachuting pilots a blatant war crime before ambushing a subsequent rescue mission which left a Russian Marine dead, was the first major provocation. While the United States has attempted to distance itself publicly from Turkeys actions, it is clear that Turkey would never have undertaken such a brazen move without coordinating it with the US directly. In the days and weeks before the incident, US Senators openly called for the shooting down of Russian planes over Syria. Their goal has been clear since 2011, overthrow the government of Syria before moving on to Iran, then finally Russia and China. Turkey then moved troops and heavy armor into northern Iraq to begin what it claims will be a permanent occupation. It has carried out a beta test for its long-sought-after safe zone the US has engineered and attempted to implement in northern Syria since at least as early as 2012. And now reports indicate that the US itself has struck Syrian troops near Deir ez Zor City, Deir ez Zor province. There are also unconfirmed reports that the airstrikes which the Syrian government claims killed several of its soldiers, was also followed up by a coordinated ISIS counterattack. The UK Independent reported in its article, Syria calls US-led coalition air strike on Assad regime forces an act of aggression, that: An air strike carried out by the US-led coalition in Syria is reported to have targeted regime forces for the first time, killing at least three soldiers and destroying a number of vehicles. The Syrian government said four warplanes bombed its Saega military camp in Deir al-Zor province, describing it as an act of aggression by coalition forces. Whether reports of a counterattack are true or not, the US strikes appear to have happened. While the US denies that carried out the strikes, it has refused to coordinate with the Syrian Arab Army throughout its illegal operations in Syrian airspace. And just as in the case of the downed Russian bomber, US senators had also been eager to see US strikes against Syrian forces carried out as retaliation for Russia striking US proxies in the region. With the US and its axis of collaborators attempting to normalize the violation of foreign nations airspace, territory, and now the normalization of striking at forces unrelated to its alleged mission to fight ISIS, we see a pattern developing that indicates an escalation toward direct confrontation between the West and Syria which includes a direct confrontation between the West and Syrias allies as well. The inability of Syria and its allies to fully secure Syrias territory has invited these incremental transgressions. The fact that US warplanes are not only still violating Syrian airspace with absolute impunity, but being joined by French and British planes who equally have no real intention of stopping the terrorist menace of their own creation is a sign of hesitation on Syria and its allies part that they lack the will to draw a risky line and then enforce it. Indeed, it would be a risky line to draw to declare Syrias airspace and territory off-limits to all nations not formally permitted by the Syrian government. To enforce such a line while legally sound, would require Syria or its allies to eventually target and shoot down Western planes that would inevitably continue violating Syrias airspace. Such a confrontation could serve as ample impetus for the West to make a limited, full-scale invasion of certain parts of Syria where Syrian forces and their allies are weakest, thus effectively carving Syria into pieces. However, incremental steps taken now toward establishing such a line coupled with continuously expanding military operations aimed at displacing Western military operations and restoring order across all of Syrias territory by the government in Damascus and its allies, could help blunt, delay, and even eventually roll back Americas creeping war in Syria. Likely there are cards yet to be played by Syria and its allies, which include wider roles for Iran and China to contribute in if and when necessary. The idea is to make continued Western intervention in Syria as costly as possible. It must be remembered that beyond the deepening rhetoric of the West, they still have only one goal the same goal that they had when first beginning their proxy war with Syria regime change in Damascus before pursuing regime change in Tehran, then Moscow and then Beijing. It is likely the West will not stop until forced to tactically, strategically, economically, and politically. It is therefore incumbent upon Syria and its allies to create and apply the necessary force to do this. Tony Cartalucci, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook. po little ol Syria all that oil glut will crash the oil market must be gluten free oil oil everywhere and not a drop of cheap gas.

2	Fox News Accidentally Leaks Trumps VP... Do You Think This Is A Good Choice? The Republican National Convention is just a few weeks away, and Americans everywhere are speculating who Donald Trump will choose as his running mate in one of the most important elections in history. Several reports claimed that Trump had narrowed his Vice Presidential race down to Newt Gingrich and Chris Christie, but Trump reportedly spent the weekend vetting two new potential running mates. Trump reportedly spent Sunday with Indiana Governor Mike Pence, tweeting: Spent time with Indiana Governor Mike Pence and family yesterday. Very impressed, great people! Later, Pences spokesman Marc Lotter confirmed that the meeting was productive, but that nothing was offered as far as a VP position. Shortly thereafter, Trump announced that he would be spending Independence Day with Iowa Senator Joni Ernst. I look forward to meeting @joniernst today in New Jersey, he tweeted. She has done a great job as Senator of Iowa! Ernst also kept quite, refusing to reveal specifics of the meeting, yet maintaining that it was a good conversation. What do you think? Who should Trump name as his Vice President? 
1	Saying the nation was unlikely to accomplish much more between now and the end of the workday, President Barack Obama held a press conference early this afternoon to tell everyone to head on home and chalk up today as a loss. Well, we gave it a shot, but its 2:30 now and we dont really have anything to show for it I know I sure dont, an audibly resigned Obama said during the nationally televised address from the Oval Office, his rumpled shirtsleeves rolled up past his elbows. I think itd be better to just cut our losses, come in with fresh eyes tomorrow, and tackle this again in the morning. Theres no sense sitting here spinning our wheels and making ourselves miserable, the president continued, wearily rubbing his forehead. Lets just call it a wash and get out of here early. Given that they hadnt made any headway since this morning and were quickly losing steam, Obama said he didnt really see the point in Americans wasting their time until 5 or 6 p.m. going through the motions just for the sake of looking busy. The president also speculated that the sheer amount the nation had on its plate had contributed to its low energy and lack of focus, noting that it was hard for the populace to even know where to start when it felt so overwhelmed. Its pretty clear no one wants to be here today, Obama said after noting that he had spent the last two hours sitting at his desk and had gotten maybe, like, one thing done. If we all go home and get a good nights sleep, its going to be a lot better for us in the long run than just putzing around here. Sympathizing with his fellow citizens, Obama admitted that he had struggled to really dig in and get things done today, having instead frequently found himself watching YouTube videos he had already seen a dozen times, or standing up from his chair and wandering to another part of the White House with no real aim or motive. Furthermore, he said, when the majority of the countrys population was drumming their fingers on their desks, staring off into space, or mindlessly refreshing their favorite websites homepage every few minutes, it was pretty clear they had long since reached the limit of their effectiveness. The president concluded his address by saying that the public banging its head against a wall wasnt going to help anyone, and could possibly do more harm than good. As a solution, he argued, cutting the nation loose a little early and giving everyone a break would ensure the day wasnt a complete waste. Go homejust try to relax and get those batteries recharged, Obama said. Put all this stuff out of your mind for an evening. After all, itll still be here tomorrow. Before putting on his overcoat and heading out, Obama promised to pick up coffee and 200 million doughnuts on his way in tomorrow morning.

3	Essure Sterilization Device Harms FemalesBy Catherine J Frompovich The device is a nickel-based medical coil, which is designed to be placed inside the fallopian tube to cause scaring. Essure was approved by the U.S. FDA November 4, 2002, but there have been over five thousand complaints filed about the device. Nickel is a highly allergenic metal that causes adverse health effects, especially in nickel-sensitive individuals. One common allergic response is to nickel-containing jewelry. To place a nickel-base gynecological device within the female body, in this writers opinion, is totally irresponsible on the part of the device manufacturer and a federal government agency, e.g., the FDA, in approving it for medical use. According to a CDC online nickel profile [2], After nickel gets into your body, it can go to all organs, but it mainly goes to the kidneys. More women are sensitive to nickel than men. However, theres a source of nickel that everyone possibly could be exposed to: NICKEL-CONTAMINATED drinking water fountains. According to the CDC nickel profile: Workers who accidentally drank light-green water containing 250 ppm of nickel from a contaminated drinking fountain had stomach aches and suffered adverse effects in their blood (increased red blood cells) and kidneys (increased protein in the urine). This concentration of nickel is more than 100,000 times greater than the amount usually found in drinking water. Despite the CDCs above remarks, they have the chutzpah to state: Human studies that examined whether nickel can harm the developing fetus are inconclusive. What? How totally outrageous of the CDC to make such a patently ridiculous remark regarding the developing fetus when the CDCs literature cites all sorts of adverse health effects to humans in the workplace and in laboratory animal studies. CDC doesnt believe in epigenetics? Representative Fitzpatricks website about his introducing the E-Free Act [1] states that Tens of thousands of women have reported symptoms including extreme pelvic and abdominal pain, migraines, autoimmune reactions, loss of teeth and hair, the metal coil breaking and migrating throughout the body, and the coil cutting into the uterus and other organs in the abdominal cavity. To that, add what Fitzpatrick said: The failures of Essure are well documented and wide ranging. Yet, in the face of all these facts, this device remains on the market; certified with the FDAs stamp of approval. Thats unacceptable to me and unacceptable to the tens of thousands of Essure Sisters who are living with this devices effects. If the FDA or manufacturer arent willing to act in the best interest of these women, Congress must. Furthermore, theres a global grassroots network called Essure Problems with affiliates in the USA, Australia, Canada, Costa Rica, Europe, and South Africa that women, who have been harmed by Essure, may contact for information and support. With information like this from the CDC, what can Essure-harmed females expect? The federal government develops regulations and recommendations to protect public health. Regulations can be enforced by law. The EPA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are some federal agencies that develop regulations for toxic substances. Recommendations provide valuable guidelines to protect public health, but cannot be enforced by law. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) are two federal organizations that develop recommendations for toxic substances. [1] Pg. 9 What kind of oxymoron is that on the part of the CDC, especially when the FDA approved Essure? According to the website Essure Lawsuits, this is what the FDA has done as of February 2016 regarding Essure: Case Update: FDA takes action on Essure permanent birth control procedure The above is nothing short of lip-service, if that! The FDA is a quasi-pharmaceutical-medical manufacturers puppet agency, in this writers opinion. Such a harmful device needs to be taken off the marketimmediatelynot subject to a Black Box warning and clinical study, which we know beforehand how the study will turn out, since Bayer will be performing and, undoubtedly, writing the study results. Essure is one more nail in the coffin of the FDAs eventual demise as a citizen-health-protection agency. What can we expect from HHS, CDC, and the FDA when, collectively, they allow and approve for licensure, and also set mandates for neurologically toxic vaccines to be given to infants, toddlers, teens, adults, and senior citizens? It defies logicand medical sciencethat federal health protection agencies would allow all those chemical and metallurgical [aluminum, sodium borate, ethylmercury, nickel, etc.] toxins to be inserted into the human body. There has to be another reason other than sheer and deliberate ignorance!

3	Elections in Ukraine and Syria, Let the Mass Murder ContinueTony Cartalucci Despite eagerness to vote, the US, UK, EU, and others have decided to condemn the elections and even go as far as obstructing overseas polling. In Reuters article, Tens of thousands of Syrians abroad vote in early poll, it reported: Expatriates and those who have fled the war were casting their ballots at dozens of Syrian embassies abroad ahead of next weeks vote inside the country that opponents have dismissed as a farce as the fighting rages in its fourth year. Several countries that oppose Assad, including France, have blocked the voting but Syrian government media said people were still able to participate in many countries. Reuters would continue with anecdotal, unsubstantiated reports to undermine the legitimacy of the elections before reporting: The European Union has said holding an election in the midst of conflict, only in regime-controlled areas and with millions of Syrians displaced from their homes would be a parody of democracy, have no credibility whatsoever, and undermine efforts to reach a political solution. However, the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europes (OSCE) own report cited as proof that elections were in line with international commitments and with a respect for fundamental freedoms, in fact reveals the exact same conditions inside of Ukraine the EU claims make the Syrian elections a parody. In the report, it admits that elections there were nearly no voting occurred in the eastern most oblasts of Donetsk and Luhansk. In the west where the only semblance of voting took place, the OSCE report admits opposition parties were regularly harassed, assaulted, and even driven from campaigning before the May 25 polls. And even as polls took place, the regime in Kiev was overseeing ongoing military operations in the east of the country that included armored vehicles, helicopters and even air raids. What the OSCE describes during Ukraines recent elections is quite a parody of democracy. In fact, the elections in Ukraine are more of a parody in documented reality than what the EU claims are taking place in Syria. In Syria, the legitimate government of the country, which has ruled Syria for decades, is steering the nation back into order after years of deadly destabilization organized from abroad. The victor of the conflict and the territorial integrity of Syria is not in question. In Ukraine, elections were organized by violent usurpers who ousted the elected government in a bloody coup spearheaded by literal Neo-Nazis. They then launched military campaigns against the rest of the country in a bid to consolidate power before organizing rushed elections for the sole purpose of legitimizing their otherwise illegitimate unelected grip on power. However, the regime in Kiev was unable to consolidate power before May 25 and in fact, the country is so divided, operations in the east look more like a foreign military occupation than internal policing. The EUs decision to uphold Ukraines elections is an attempt to lend Kiev badly needed legitimacy ahead of continued and more intensified efforts to consolidate power. That the EU in turn is not only condemning Syrias elections, but actively blocking Syrians abroad from voting, illustrates the overall lack of legitimacy of the European Union itself. It also calls into question the myriad of institutions it uses to prop up such self-serving, biased policies. And while the EUs hypocrisy swings wildly across the two most extreme ends of the spectrum, there is one common denominator between its position regarding elections in Ukraine and Syria. Both positions, for and against elections, help perpetuate campaigns of mass murder backed by the West in pursuit of its extraterritorial interests. In Ukraine, the Kiev regimes assault on the nations east is fully backed by the West with many members of NATO already providing material support to ongoing operations. In Syria, since 2007, the West conspired to use sectarian extremists both inside Syrias borders and beyond them, to overthrow the government in Damascus. In 2011, this conspiracy was fully realized in a deadly conflict that has killed tens of thousands and left parts of Syria in ruins. By preventing elections from moving ahead in Syria that would grant President Bashar al-Assad a renewed mandate or place into office another candidate who had rejected armed militancy, the West can continue portraying the conflict as a popular uprising, continue destabilizing the country, and perhaps even successfully push forward the political transition (read: regime change) it had sought since at least as early as 2007. The West has managed to weaponize humanitarian aid in Syria, and now, even the concept of voting as a means to perpetuate bloodshed and geopolitical instability. While the West cites an ever increasing list of threats that endanger global stability it must rise to confront, it is clear that they themselves have become the masters of turning anything and everything into a source of contention and protracted, deadly violence even elections Tony Cartalucci, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook, where this first appeared. 
1	Following the drug kingpins recent escape from the maximum security facility, Arturo Terrazas, warden of the Altiplano prison in central Mexico, vowed Monday to take away Joaquin El Chapo Guzmans tunnel privileges if he is captured. Here at Altiplano, prisoners must earn their access to any of our mile-long electrically lit and ventilated subterranean passageways, and I can assure you that Mr. Guzman will be forfeiting this right once he is taken into custody and reincarcerated, Terrazas told reporters, adding that Guzman will also be expressly prohibited from renting out any power tools or dollies from the prison workshop as part of the additional punitive measures he will face if he is apprehended. Mr. Guzman will need to establish a long track record of good behavior before we even consider reinstating his daily visits to the tunnel system that connects the prison grounds with various homes surrounding the complex. Of course, even then we will restrict him to 60-minute sessions conducted after the rest of our resident population has finished using the underground corridors themselves. Terrazas concluded that, while Guzman must be disciplined, he believes it would be inhumane to also deprive the cartel leader of his ventilation duct hours. 
1	More than 1,000 majority shareholders and executive officers from the nation's largest oil companies gathered in the National Mall and marched to Capitol Hill Monday in a mass demonstration for petrochemical corporations' rights and, according to several of those who attended, 'to let our voices be heard at last.' Dozens of the executives, sheikhs, and oil barons who marched to demand an end to their oppression 'We're American citizens, and we demand to be part of the national dialogue,' said John S. Watson, vice president of international exploration and production for Chevron Corporation, the world's second-largest oil company. 'Many people in our industry think nobody in Washington cares about us, and that our opinions don't matter. We're here today to change that.' Guest speakers, including folk-singing lobbyist Anne Novotny, international drilling-rights activist Bill Marshall, and several Saudi princes, focused on the need to extend subsidies to offshore drilling efforts, grant tax breaks for the construction of new refineries, and stop oppressive environmental regulation. But the real message of the protest was more personal: To demonstrators, the oil industry is unappreciated and even persecuted by large segments of the public who only want them for the gasoline they sell. Protesters hoisted signs reflecting this sentiment, bearing such slogans as 'Enough Is Enough,' 'Power To The Petroleum-Producing People,' 'Texaco-American Pride,' and 'I'm Pro-Oil And I Vote.' 'Politicians are supposed to work for everyone,' said Red Cavaney, president of the American Petroleum Institute. 'For years, they've pretended like we didn't even exist. But today, with this many people from the oil industry right here in our nation's capital, we're sending an undeniably strong message.' Oil executives traveled from as far as Irving, TX to attend the event. Some, such as Exxon Mobil chairman and CEO Rex W. Tillerson, said they were missing important board meetings and sacrificing as much as three days of vacation time just to be among their fellow oilmen. 'You can't ignore us any longer, America,' a flag-draped Tillerson said. 'Get used to us, because we refuse to stand in silence. From now on, the power brokers in Washington will sit up and listen.' The march, which took place just after lunchtime, was limited to a strict route, and was closely monitored by hundreds of DC police in riot gear. Authorities reported no arrests or instances of violence, even after a tense moment when some protesters chanting 'Members of the board will not be ignored!' passed a security barricade and crossed Pennsylvania Avenue. 'Today is the day my American oil comrades and I stand together as one and announce that this is our country, too,' said BP Global's chief financial officer, Byron Grote, who oversaw British Petroleum's acquisition of ARCO, SOHIO, Amoco, and Vastar in 2000. 'None of us in international oil production are looking for special treatment. We just want a fair shake. That's what democracy is all about.' Organizers applauded the peaceful protest as a 'positive first step in governmentalpetrochemical coalition-building.' But the systemic marginalization of one minority groupin this case, Big Oil CEOsby those in power can make it difficult to get past feelings of bitterness and resentment, said corporate-disenfranchisement expert Jonathan Foner. 'They feel like they've just been shouting into the wilderness,' Foner said. 'So today, many of them were hoping that if they spoke loudly and clearly enough through their bullhorns into the wilderness, those in power would listen to them.' ConocoPhillips CEO J.J. Mulva was scheduled to deliver a speech about civil disobedience, but called it off at the last minute due to unspecified medical complications. His brother, Exxon Mobil controller P.T. Mulva, said 'heartbreak' is what kept the older sibling at home. 'The oil business is a labor of love for our family, and J.J.'s been fighting for our rights for years,' Mulva said. 'When he heard that the marchers would not be permitted to pass the White House due to security issues, it was more than he could take. That really broke his spirit.' President Bush, vacationing at his Crawford, TX ranch, released a statement Tuesday morning expressing his respect for the protesters' right to free speech, saying America 'tolerates diverse viewpoints.' 'The people have a right to protest in this country, but my administration is not going to be intimidated by the opinions of an outspoken few,' Bush said.

2	Tim Tebow Was Told Not To Pray To Jesus In Public, So He Does THIS Instead NFL Quarterback Tim Tebow is well-known for two things: his success on the field, and his Christian belief and perhaps the latter more than the former. Tebow recently made headlines after he wore Bible verses on his eyes-blacks during games. Hes also been spotted numerous times praying on the field. While Christians have applauded his dedication to his faith; it has also caused many controversies as well. Some feel that his actions are isolating to people like Muslims, and that his religion should kept separate from the game. Still, Tebow hasnt backed down from demonstrating his Christian beliefs. In fact, he recently appeared on the SEC network in Gainesville, FL. There, he led the team (and anyone watching) in prayer. Pictures were posted on Tanner Clarks Facebook, and were shared thousands of times, primarily by supporters of the professional athlete. 
2	After Terrorist Attacks In Texas Obama Offers THIS Pathetic Response According to recent reports, two Muslim gunmen broke into the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas, where they proceeded to open fire. Investigations reveal that the act was one of terrorism. Shockingly, our president has nothing to say about it. President Obama remained noticeably silent on Sunday, although he made time for an appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman. Instead of discussing the attack, he continued to bash law enforcement in light of the Baltimore riots. It is important that now that charges have been brought in Baltimore that we let the process play itself out, Obama told viewers. Those officers have been charged and they deserve to be represented and to let the legal system work its way through. We dont have all the facts yet and thats going to be presented in a court of law. Although his comments are clearly meant to defuse protests, Obama has made it clear that he is not on the side of the police department in this or similar incidents. What do you think? Is Obama careless when it comes to the lives of Americans?

1	Admiring his rapid advancement from a junior sales position to a management role in an unprecedented six months, sources at Forge Media said Monday that coworker Mark Pisciottos meteoric rise through the company is a true testament to its high turnover rate. Since joining the digital marketing firm last October as a sales associate, Pisciotto, 28, has been successively promoted to client service manager, team leader, and director of client service, a swift ascent that office sources said stood as impressive proof of the large number of vacancies at their workplace. If you look at where he started compared to where he is now, you cant help but think, Wow, a whole lot of people have been leaving, said Forge HR director Caroline Moser, marveling at just how much Pisciotto had benefitted from the departure of colleagues in such a short time. Hes been with us half a year, and hes zooming up the company ranks like a person who happens to be working here during a period of staff instability. Provided enough people resign, the skys the limit for Mark, Moser added. In fact, colleagues speculate that Pisciotto is probably on the fast track to regional vice president of accounts, as veteran employees Karen Turnbull and Trevor Wilcox recently left due to their dissatisfaction with Forges pay and benefits packages. And if, as many expect, senior vice president Nancy Byers takes an early retirement in the near future, there reportedly will be little stopping Pisciotto from climbing to an executive-level position. Having moved up the company hierarchy so quickly, sources confirmed that Pisciotto has even earned the respect of the head of the company. Mark is a living, breathing example of what you can achieve if youre still employed somewhere when the people immediately above you have moved on, said Forge CEO Donald Snider. Hes just one of those guys who has what it takes to rise through the ranks partially by default at a company thats been a revolving door for employees as of late. Honestly, it takes a special kind of worker to almost inevitably be promoted due to turnover, added Snider. I could definitely see him in this chair someday, especially considering the enticing offers Ive been receiving from rival firms. 
3	Censoring the Web Isnt the Solution to Terrorism or Counterfeiting. Its the Problem.By Jeremy Malcolm Its an attractive idea because if you dont think too hard, it appears to be a political no-brainer. It allows governments to avoid addressing the underlying social problema long and costly processand instead simply pass the buck to Internet providers, who can quickly make whatever content has raised rankles go away. Problem solved! Except, of course, that it isnt. Amongst the difficult social problems that Web censorship is often expected to solve are terrorism, child abuse and copyright and trade mark infringement. In recent weeks some further cases of this tactic being vainly employed against such problems have emerged from the United Kingdom, France and Australia. UK Court Orders ISPs to Block Websites for Trade Mark Infringement In a victory for luxury brands and a loss for Internet users, the British High Court last month ordered five of the countrys largest ISPs to block websites selling fake counterfeit goods. Whilst alarming enough, this was merely a test case, leading the way for a reported 290,000 websites to be potentially targeted in future legal proceedings. Do we imagine for a moment that, out of a quarter-million websites, none of them are false positives that actually sell non-infringing products? (If websites blocked for copyright infringement or pornography are any example, we know the answer.) Do we consider it a wise investment to tie up the justice system in blocking websites that could very easily be moved under a different domain within minutes? The reason this ruling concerns us is not that we support counterfeiting of manufactured goods. It concerns us because it further normalizes the band-aid solution of content blocking, and deemphasises more permanent and effective solutions that would target those who actually produce the counterfeit or illegal products being promoted on the Web. Britain and France Call on ISPs to Censor Extremist Content Not content with enlisting major British ISPs as copyright and trade mark police, they have also recently been called upon to block extremist content on the Web, and to provide a button that users can use to report supposed extremist material. Usual suspects Google, Facebook and Twitter have also been roped by the government to carry out blocking of their own. Yet to date no details have been released about how these extrajudicial blocking procedures would work, or under what safeguards of transparency and accountability, if any, they would operate. This fixation on solving terrorism by blocking websites is not limited to the United Kingdom. Across the channel in France, a new anti-terrorism law that EFF reported on earlier was finally passed this month. The law allows websites to be blocked if they condone terrorism. Terrorism is as slippery a concept in France as anywhere else. Indeed Frances broad definition of a terrorist act has drawn criticism from Human Rights Watch for its legal imprecision. Australian Plans to Block Copyright Infringing Sites Finallythough, sadly, probably notreports last week suggest that Australia will be next to follow the example of the UK and Spain in blocking websites that host or link to allegedly copyright material, following on from a July discussion paper that mooted this as a possible measure to combat copyright infringement. How did this become the new normal? When did politicians around the world lose the will to tackle social problems head-on, and instead decide to sweep them under the rug by blocking evidence of them from the Web? It certainly isnt due to any evidence that these policies actually work. Anyone who wants to access blocked content can trivially do so, using software like Tor. Rather, it seems to be that its politically better for governments to be seen as doing something to address such problems, no matter how token and ineffectual, than to do nothingand website blocking is the easiest something they can do. But not only is blocking not effective, it is actively harmfulboth at its point of application due to the risk of over-blocking, but also for the Internet as a whole, in the legitimization that it offers to repressive regimes to censor and control content online. Like an overused Internet meme that deserves to fade away, so too it is time that courts and regulators moved on from website blocking as a cure for societys ills. If we wish to reduce political extremism, cut off the production of counterfeits, or prevent children from being abused, then we should be addressing those problems directlyrather than by merely covering up the evidence and pretending they have gone away.

1	Members of the popular 1990s grunge band Soundgarden shocked critics and fans alike Tuesday, appearing together publicly for the first time in more than a decade after accidentally running into one another at the Northgate Mall Cinnabon. The former bandmates come out for an encore of Chillattas. The unplanned 15-minute reunion was the result of a number of unrelated events, including lead singer Chris Cornell stopping by the baked-goods franchise to buy a Caramel Pecanbon, drummer Matt Cameron taking a break from shopping at the nearby Banana Republic, bass player Ben Shepherd walking by and noticing his one-time bandmates in the food court, and former guitarist and Cinnabon daytime supervisor Kim Thayil working the 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. shift. According to those in attendance at the packed fast-food venue, the highlight of the incidental Soundgarden reunion came when the rockers reconciled their differences and teamed up for the first time in years to finish off an order of Cinnabon Stix. 'At first it was pretty awkward and none of them seemed like they were really into it,' said Al Helbling, 30, a Northgate Mall Sam Goody employee and Soundgarden fan. 'But then the drummer comes in and right after that the bass player comes in, and it was like, 'Yes, Soundgarden is back.' It was so intense.' The former members of Soundgarden, who have not released an album together since 1996's Down On The Upside, reported that it was initially difficult to find common ground, but once they began exchanging ideas and riffing on which sugar-filled dessert they were going to order, the chemistry felt 'as strong as ever.' While Shepherd told reporters he enjoyed seeing his old bandmates, he admitted to experiencing some last-minute doubts about going through with the encounter. 'I got all the way there, but then I just didn't know if I could do it,' Shepherd said. 'I had a huge lunch that day. And Cinnabon, that's some really sugary stuff, even if you have a sweet tooth like me.' Thayil, who joined the band shortly after it was formed in 1984, said some tension arose between himself and former front man Chris Cornell early on in the reunion, after Thayil scolded Cornell for entering the cinnamon-bun snack purveyor without a shirt. 'Honestly, I didn't even recognize Chris at first,' Thayil said. 'All I saw was this bare-chested guy entering the store, and that's unacceptable in the food-service industry. I hate to be the enforcer, but just because we were in a band together doesn't mean I can allow him to create an unhygienic environment.' The heated situation was quickly settled, however, when Thayil offered Cornell a complimentary 12-oz. CarmeLatta Chill. In turn, the 44-year-old lead singer responded by serenading Thayil with a version of the group's hit song 'Black Hole Sun' in which he replaced the titular phrase with the word 'Cinnabon.' Cornell, former singer for the now-defunct group Audioslave, then stuffed his pockets with napkins, saying he needed them for a later solo project. The two soon moved to a back table, where they joined Shepherd and drummer Matt Cameron, the latter of whom said he was overjoyed to see his old bandmates, since he had to 'kill some time' before Pearl Jam practice. Although Tuesday marked the first time the group has fully reunited, the members of Soundgarden have had a few near-misses in the past 10 years. In August 2000, all four members were seen entering Seattle-area Arby's restaurants, but the reunion never materialized: Cornell and Cameron visited the Meridian Avenue location, while Thayil and Shepherd decided to visit the Michigan Street franchise. The afternoon did, however, mark the largest Temple of the Dog reunion to date, when Cornell and Cameron ran into the rest of the supergroup's members in the restroom. After the success of the Cinnabon reunion, Soundgarden is reportedly planning a tour of the Sunglass Hut and Piercing Pagoda.

You dont like whats happening in the workplace; go to human resources or leave. Ive done that. And then take the action you need to take afterward if you feel aggrieved. There are labor laws in this country. The next day, Kelly fired back at OReilly in an interview with CBS. I am very proud of the fact that I discussed this with Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch before I wrote this chapter in my book, and we were all on the same page that this was an important chapter to include, Kelly said.

3	NSA and Director of National Intelligence Sued for Zero Day Disclosure ProcessGovernment Needs to Reveal Decision-Making Process for Publicizing Vulnerabilities The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) today filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the NSA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) to gain access to documents showing how intelligence agencies choose whether to disclose software security flaws known as zero days. A zero day is a previously unknown security vulnerability in software or online services that a researcher has discovered, but the developers have not yet had a chance to patch. A thriving market has emerged for these zero days; in some cases governmentsincluding the United Stateswill purchase these vulnerabilities, which they can use to gain access to targets computers. In April 2014, Bloomberg News published a story alleging that the NSA had secretly exploited the Heartbleed bug in the OpenSSL cryptographic library for at least two years before the public learned of the devastating vulnerability. The government strongly denied the report, claiming it had a developed a new Vulnerability Equities Process for deciding when to share vulnerabilities with companies and the public. The White Houses cybersecurity coordinator further described in a blog post that the government had established principles to guide agency decision-making including a disciplined, rigorous and high-level decision-making process for vulnerability disclosure. But the substance of those principles has not been shared with the public. EFF filed a FOIA request for records related to these processes on May 6 but has not yet received any documents, despite ODNI agreeing to expedite the request. Over the last year, U.S. intelligence-gathering techniques have come under great public scrutiny. One controversial element has been how agencies such as the NSA have undermined encryption protocols and used zero days. While an intelligence agency may use a zero day it has discovered or purchased to infiltrate targeted computers or devices, disclosing its existence may result in a patch that will help defend the public against other online adversaries, including identity thieves and foreign governments that may also be aware of the zero day. Since these vulnerabilities potentially affect the security of users all over the world, the public has a strong interest in knowing how these agencies are weighing the risks and benefits of using zero days instead of disclosing them to vendors, Global Policy Analyst Eva Galperin said. For the complaint: Andrew Crocker

There is no question that she is a very gifted entertainer, but when she speaks out on the nations affairs, she loses us. In March, Streisand wrote a piece about the outright sexism in the medias coverage of Clinton. The piece quickly went viral. Why is it that today even a woman as impressive as Hillary Clinton is judged not by her merits and extensive resume alone, but held to a pernicious double standard? Streisand asks in her article. In an interview with 60 Minutes, Streisand claimed she would leave the country if Trump was elected president. I worry; I dont take anything for granted, Streisand commented. I want Hillary Clinton to be President of the United States. But there is a still a lot of sexism, and A woman being president? you know, and making fun of her, the way [Donald Trump] insults her right and left and has no facts.

3	Electricity As Currency? 10 Reasons It Could Workselfnews Post This rapid devaluation of the U.S. dollar makes it an unstable medium of exchange and certainly not a good store of value two aspects considered to be the main functions of money. This has led many to examine the flaws of the current monetary system and search for possible alternatives. Some have suggested that returning to the Gold Standard (pegging the dollar to gold) will help control the fraudulent expansion of the money supply and protect the value of the currency. Others say eliminating the interest attached to each dollar created will get rid of scarcity and provide abundance. Each of these ideas has merit since they correct some of whats broken, yet they both also have flaws which make them difficult to fully support. One interesting alternative that has been proposed is using anenergy-backed currency. The idea is not new. Thomas Edison envisioned an energy dollar after seeing the value of electricity, and Henry Ford also conceptualized backing a currency by a unit of energy instead of gold. Motivated by the failed monetary system during the Great Depression, Ford even planned to support the idea with his own electric dams. Of course the central bankers scolded Fords idea because it threatened their schemes. In more recent times the idea of using electricity as a currency has gained some traction. An online ebook Energy Backed Moneywas published in 2009 supporting the concept of backing the dollar with electricity. Kilowatt Cards were introduced as gift cards for electric power meant to be a transferable means of currency. And former NASA scientist, Michael Rivero, proposed the Lectro, a universal electricity based currency whose supply is controlled by production and use of electric power. Significantly, all money is lent into existence with interest owed to central bankers. But this interest is money yet to be created in the system so there are never enough dollars in the system to pay off the debt accrued from the creation of the dollars themselves. This creates a false scarcity and the perpetual need to expand the money supply, which then breeds inflation. This simultaneous scarcity and inflation have a tremendously negative impact on the economy, especially for the poor. Ultimately, its this interest on every dollar created that inherently enslaves us all to the central bankers who hadnt produced anything of value to demand our servitude. The only way to solve the inefficiencies of the current system is to use a currency that has real value, whose supply is tied to an accurate economic indicator, and doesnt need interest attached just for the sake of creating it. Electricity has measurable value in our society and since everything in our modern world runs on power, it may be the most accurate gauge of economic activity we have. An electricity-backed currency would not be nearly as complicated as our fractional reserve system. It could work something like this: electric producers could issue certificates (money) as kilowatts are produced and they would be removed from circulation once the electric bill is paid (redeeming their receipts), thus always maintaining a consistent and stable supply. Here are 10 reasons for an electricity based currency: 1. It Has Real Value:Electricity has recognizable value for every person on Earth, as opposed to gold or silver which are just pretty metals with some minor industrial uses. 2. Easily Measurable Units:A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is an absolute unit that can be measured easily and is impossible to counterfeit. The average cost of electricity in the United States has remained relatively stable (mainly due to regulations) over the last few years at around $0.13 per kilowatt hour. But we must stop thinking in terms of measuring things in dollars for this concept to become clear. This currency would represent a kWh, not a dollar amount. 3. Universal Flexibility:An electric-backed currency can work just as well as a local competing currency or as a global medium of exchange. Since a kWh of power has the same value all over the world, a kWh certificate issued in Hawaii could theoretically be redeemed anywhere. 4. Supply Cant Be Manipulated: The electric money supply would naturally be tied to population growth and economic productivity because electricity is an indicator of those measures. Money (kWh notes) would be created when new electricity is produced and eliminated from the economy when electric bills are paid, maintaining a stable balance. 5. Cannot Be Monopolized:Central banking monopolies are at the heart of many economic problems around the world where entire nations are held hostage by these singular entities. Even though electricity has a universal global value, it would be impossible to monopolize the production of kilowatts. 6. Decentralized: Literally, anyone can produce electricity if they choose to do so. Although larger organizations may be necessary to handle the issuance or certification of kWh notes, independent energy producers would compete to produce electricity as efficiently as possible. 7. Spurs Innovation: The incentive to create electricity would spur incredible innovation in technology. Rivero, of the Lectro, suggests perhaps more valuable certificates could be issued for electricity derived from clean technology to incentivize its expansion. And if by some chance a source of free energy is discovered fantastic it could still be measured and used to control the supply of money. 8. Spurs Conservation: When electric power literally equals money, everyone will immediately become more conscious of their energy use. This alone would have a tremendous benefit on the environment. 9. Transportable: Pure gold and silver (commodity money) are not practical physical currencies because large quantities are not easily carried in our pockets. kWh notes would be a paper form of receipt or representative money where the note can be redeemed for something real and measurable. Fully-backed receipt money is historically viewed as the only form of honest paper money. 10. Creates wealth instead of poverty during the transition from human labor to machine labor. As we move towards more automation, we become more reliant on electricity and less on human labor. Rivero postulates At present, human labor precedes all capital, payable in a monetary system that pays primarily for human labor. In switching to a monetary system that pays for machine based power production, we evolve towards a society where machines become the primary creators of capital, and all humans shift towards the demand side of the economy. Instead of creating poverty, the push towards automation creates more wealth. Does a currency backed by kWhs of electricity seem viable enough to be used as a possible alternative to our broken monetary system? Tell us what you think in the comments.

1	Bending down to hug her in her wheelchair before quickly saying their goodbyes, members of the Schueller family reportedly cut their nursing home visit short Thursday so that their grandmother, Anna Schueller, could get back to her excruciating loneliness. Well, we probably should be going, because we dont want to keep Nana from sitting in crushingly painful solitude any longer than we already have, said grandson Andrew Schueller, adding that, while hed love to stay longer, he knows this is the time his grandmother usually spends motionless in her chair looking at nothing in particular, overwhelmed by the loss of connection she once felt with other human beings and the world in general. Plus, I think weve tired her out enough already, so we should really let her get to bed and stare at the ceiling thinking of all that shes lost. Especially because shes got a long day devoid of any human warmth tomorrow. The Schullers added that theyll definitely be back to visit their grandmother on a day when she doesnt already have plans to sit blankly in front of the television and silently contemplate whether her ongoing private agony is any better or worse than being dead. 
1	Brandishing shotguns and semiautomatic pistols, members of the 112th U.S. Congress took a class of visiting schoolchildren hostage today, barricading themselves inside the Capitol rotunda and demanding $12 trillion dollars in cash. If the money is not delivered by this evening, members of Congress say they will shoot a new child every hour on the hour. House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), who has emerged as spokesman for the bipartisan group, informed FBI negotiators this morning that the ransom was to be placed in stainless-steel suitcases and left on the Capitol steps by 4 p.m. sharp. If their demands are not met in full, the 11-term representative announced, 'all the kids will die.' 'Bring us the money and we let the children go, simple as that,' said Boehner, appearing in the East Portico with a serrated switchblade held to one of the fourth-grader's throats. 'If you want to play games and stall for extra time, we're going to shoot one kid an hour, starting with little Dillon here.' 'Tick tock,' he added, vanishing back into the building with the terrified child in tow. Shaken witnesses reported that the ordeal broke out around 10 a.m. this morning, when in the midst of a Capitol building tour, Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) suddenly burst into the National Statuary Hall with a pair of black panty hose over his head and began firing a Beretta 9 mm handgun into the air, shouting, 'Everybody down! Everybody get the fuck down!' BREAKING: Hostage Sends Camera Phone video From Inside Capitol Building The schoolchildren were then led at gunpoint into the nearby Great Rotunda, where an agitated, profusely sweating Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL) bound their hands and feet and duct-taped them to various sculptures, including a monument to women's suffrage and a marble figure of former president James Garfield. Although cell phones were confiscated immediately, one student managed to tweet a short video showing what appeared to be Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) pistol-whipping a chaperone who attempted to yell for help. 'It's a very tense situation at the moment, and these things take timemore time than we've got,' Special Agent Douglas Burkett of the FBI Crisis Negotiation Unit said. 'We have snipers on the Supreme Court building, the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial, and the National Museum of the American Indian, but so far none of them has been able to get a clear shot at any senators or representatives.' 'While there's an assault team on the way, they won't be able to breach the door if members of Congress have rigged the place with explosives,' Burkett added. 'And that's quite possible. From the looks of things, I'd say they've been planning this for a while.' As the dramatic standoff continues to unfold, the bipartisan gang of lawmakers has laid out additional terms for releasing the children. Among the demands are guaranteed re-election in 2012, reduction of the veto-override threshold from two-thirds to one half of the Senate, new desks, and safe transport to Reagan National Airport with a fueled-up private jet waiting on the runway. According to sources close to the 535-member legislative branch, Congress has recently fallen on hard times. Neighbors reported overhearing heated arguments going on late into the night about dangerously stretched budgets, a failing health care system, and the potential for an all-out government shutdown. With the ransom deadline nearing and no apparent resolution in sight, President Barack Obama was summoned in a last-ditch effort to diffuse the situation. Despite an emotional bullhorn appeal to return to 'honest talks aimed at reducing the national debt and getting millions of unemployed Americans back to work,' the chief executive was met with silence. 'There's just no way of getting through to these people,' said Obama, holding his head in his hands. 'I know Speaker Boehner personally, and I know that he and his colleagues will not hesitate for a second to kill these poor children if they don't get their way.' 'Trust me, this Congress will do it,' the president added. View the story 'Congress Takes Group Of Schoolchildren Hostage' on Storify] 
2	Michelle Obamas Hometown Just Defied Her In An AMAZING Way Michelle Obama just got what must be some devastating news: even her hometown of Chicago is refusing to support her lunch program. Mundelein High School District 120s Superintendent Kevin Myers recently announced that they will be dropping out of Michelles school lunch program. The change is being made in order to regain flexibility to design the food service to our students needs. The move comes in response to dropping sales and complaints from students about the quality and portion size of the meals. Mundelein is not alone in dealing with these issues, although they have seen a very dramatic decrease of 6%. The decision will not come without temporary consequences however. The school will lose around $325,000 in federal subsidies, but they feel that the benefits will far outweigh the loss. In fact, they have already seen a nearly 20% increase in sales. What do you think? Are schools justified in dropping the flawed program?

1	A full week into his infiltration of the East Side Crips, no member of the gang can bear to tell confidential police informant Hiram Loudon that his cover was blown roughly a day and a half after his recruitment, sources within the organization revealed Tuesday. Weve been on to him for weeks, but the poor guys trying so hard, we just dont have the heart to break it to him, said street soldier Dwight Allwood, who acknowledged he should have killed Loudon immediately the first time he noticed a wire poking from the informants jeans pocket but just couldnt bring myself to do it. Hes a sweetheart of a guy, and hes clearly dedicated to what hes doinghe learned all our gang signs and nicknames and everything. Its going to be devastating for him when he realizes hes been found out. Admitting he has grown fond of the informant, Allwood said that when the time comes, he will probably shoot Loudon in the back of the head to avoid watching as the mans face is blown off. 
1	The future of the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration is in question following Tuesday's death of a freshman senator in what authorities believe to be a hazing incident. Outgoing Speaker Of The House Newt Gingrich answers reporters' questions regarding hazing practices within Congress. Inset: Freshman Sen. Thomas Pruitt (R-RI), who died early Tuesday morning after he was beaten and forced to drink more than a liter of vodka by senior legislators. Sen. Thomas Pruitt (R-RI), 38, sworn into the 106th Congress on Jan. 7, was admitted to George Washington University Hospital at 2:20 a.m. and pronounced dead soon after. An autopsy found toxic levels of alcohol in the congressional pledge's system, and attending physicians found numerous bruises and welts on his back and buttocks. Sen. John Warner (R-VA), Pruitt's designated 'big brother' during Committee Rush, is reportedly under investigation for negligence in connection with the death, though no formal charges have yet been filed. Pruitt's death is only the latest in a string of hazing incidents to plague Congress in recent years. During January 1995's Capitol Hell Week, incoming Rep. Gerard Schuman (D-NM) fell out of a fourth-floor Capitol Building window to his death. An autopsy found Schuman's blood-alcohol content to be four times the legal level of intoxication, a condition widely believed to be the result of a hazing incident in which for six hours he was forced to drink a shot of vodka every time he failed to correctly answer a question about Robert's Rules Of Order. In 1997, a Capitol janitor found first-term Sen. Mike Dewine (R-OH) passed out in the building's boiler room, wearing only his underwear and covered in peanut butter and feathers. The latest fatality is regarded by Beltway insiders as a grave blow to the already embattled Republican Party, coming so soon after the twin resignations of House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who stepped down over the scandal resulting from his forcing House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt (D-MO) to drink a gallon of Crisco Oil, and incoming Speaker Bob Livingston (R-LA), who quit last month amid sexual-misconduct allegations surrounding a midnight panty raid on the Capitol's Congresswomen's Suite. Only a few legislators were willing to comment publicly on Pruitt's death. 'The freshmen keep getting hazed, but they're afraid to press charges or even speak out about it,' Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) told reporters. 'I remember a few years ago, there was a new representative named Sam Haskell who was forced to masturbate onto a piece of bread and then eat it. He was one of the few who went public with his hazing, and, from that day on, he was treated like a total pariah by fellow legislators. Every bill he ever proposed died in committee.' 'Rules and Administration is notorious for its hazings,' said one longtime senator, speaking on condition of anonymity. 'Sen. Michael Enzi (R-WY) had to swim across the Potomac at midnight with a lit candle in his ass. A freshman from Georgia had all of his toes broken. The list goes on. But what are you going to do about it? If you rock the boat, the party leaders can make it a very long six years for you.' Though Pruitt's death is the first for Rules and Administration, it is not the first time the powerful senate committee has stirred controversy. During Hell Week 1995, Congressional Black Caucus leaders formally protested a 'mock slave auction' held by the committee. Outraged by the latest death, constituents across the U.S. are calling for stricter anti-hazing laws for Congress. 'It's time to put a stop to this hazing,' said Jim Campos of Kirkland, WA. There are better ways to show one's loyalty to his subcommittee.' Lucille Thalaker of Tallahassee, FL, agreed. 'Why should I even bother to vote if the person I elect may not even live to see their first House referendum?' 'Clearly, what happened to Sen. Pruitt went beyond the relatively innocuous committee-initiation stunts like the old 'Freedonian Aid Bill' prank, in which they get some unsuspecting frosh to pledge $675 million in aid to a non-existent country,' said freshman Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), holding the watermelon she must take with her everywhere she goes for the next three weeks. 'The truly extreme hazing has got to stop.' Still, some observers defended Congress' long-standing first-semester traditions. 'If they cracked down on every committee that just wanted to have a little fun with the new legislators, you'd lose great, harmless stuff like the time Patrick Moynihan streaked through the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations' debate on Chinese human-rights abuses,' said noted political scholar Dr. James Throckmorton. 'When you compare the stuff happening today to hazings in the past, the modern era absolutely pales. I mean, for his initiation, Strom Thurmond was required to bare-knuckle box a doughty Irish longshoreman for 30 rounds.' But whatever reforms, if any, are made, they will come too late for Sen. Pruitt. 'All Tom ever wanted to do was lower the capital-gains tax, reduce the trade deficit, and play quarterback in the Senate Mud Bowl,' said Lincoln Almond, Rhode Island's governor and a good friend of Pruitt's. 'Now that can never be.' 
1	Following the departure this week of their unpaid summer intern, executives at the marketing firm Purwin & Avery reflected on how the internship had turned out to be a really positive experience for their company. Going into the program we werent really sure what to expect, but by the end we realized just how much we had gotten out of it, department manager Dana Hughes said of the 10 weeks during which their summer intern, Erin, reportedly provided the company with more than 1,500 man-hours of free labor. It was an invaluable opportunity for us, giving Erin a chance to work in a real-world, hands-on environment. It really broadened our perspective. In fact, it was such a great experience, weve decided to keep the internship program going year-round. At press time, sources confirmed that three paid entry-level employees at Purwin & Avery had just received pink slips. 
1	Dental hygienist and mother June Treadway, 36, appears unaware that the thoughtful note she wrote at 6:30 a.m. and slipped into her son's lunch is the reason why he's now getting the shit kicked out of him, witnesses confirmed Thursday. 'I like to leave a message in there each day so he gets a nice little surprise at lunchtime,' Treadway said of the note taped to a cup of mandarin oranges that is currently being dumped over the 10-year-old's head as he is mercilessly made fun of for eating 'pussy food.' 'It's just my way of letting him know that, even if he's having a hard day at school, there's someone at home who will always be there for him.' Reports indicated Treadway is also unaware that, later tonight, the bully who taunted her son will read the note aloud to himself and pretend it's from his own mother, who abandoned her family eight years ago.

Some argue, however, that Williams death was more than tragicit was selfish. Such was the argument for 70s TV star Todd Bridges, who told TMZ that suicide is a very selfish act. You dont think that my life has been hell and Ive had so many ups and downs now, Bridges told reporters. If I did that, Im showing my children that when it gets tough thats the way out [sic]. No you got to buckle down ask God to help you. Thats when prayer really comes into effect. The former start did end the rant by saying, Rest in peace Robin Williams, I hope you found what you were looking for. What do you think of Bridges argument? Is it misled or does he have a point? 
1	Saying they had exhausted every possible line of scientific inquiry into the various species, the nations researchers announced Thursday that they were completely done with rodents. Weve spent many decades and billions of dollars observing, testing, and recording every conceivable cognitive and behavioral aspect of hamsters, mice, rats, and basically the entire order Rodentia, so at this point were pretty much all set rodent-wise, said University of California biologist Emma Meuer, explaining that there was only so much that could be learned about the dietary preferences, spatial abilities, and decision-making skills of these small mammals before scientists started shrugging their shoulders and running out of new studies to subject them to. Weve learned how rodents process pain, how they gain weight, how theyll react to environmental stimuli, and on and on. To be honest, theyre not even that complex of organisms; weve kind of knocked out all there is to know about them. So, in terms of us and rodents, thats pretty much it. Meuer went on to note that the millions of lab rats at the nations universities and research facilities would be replaced in the months ahead by more interesting species that scientists said they would never tire of studying, such as lemurs and sharks. 
3	David Ickes Moon Matrix Theory Explained: Writing ContestIlluminati Watcher The Moon Matrix theory stems from Ickes virtual reality hypothesis. He says that our world was created by an advanced being for the purpose of experiencing something beyond the oneness-one consciousness existence that we have all originated from. We experience this physical reality, and then go back to the one source when our physical bodies die. All of our laws of physics are just software rules created by this advanced being. The virtual reality world we experience isnt what it was intended to be, by our advanced creator. We arent able to access the full potential of what this earthly experience was meant to embody. We dont understand this because all weve ever known is our five senses of touch, smell, see, taste, and hear. There are several more senses and abilities that we cant lock into. This idea could be expressed as an example of when some spiritual mediums are able to communicate with the dead. Most people will discount the medium as scam artist, when in fact there are several legitimate mediums that can harness this ability. We all have these abilities, we just dont know how to grasp them and use them properly. Why is this? It is because of the Moon Matrix theory. Icke believes that the reptilians have closed off the many frequencies that we cant sense currently, similar to a firewall on a PC. This firewall/transmission comes from the moon and it blocks certain abilities that are embedded in our physical bodies, but unknown to us. He says black holes resonate at a frequency that in turn, dictates how much of the awareness is emitted by the sun in the form of photons. This begs the question; what would the emission of photons from the sun do that affects our bodies and prevents us from accessing our abilities? Since Im no expert on astronomy or Chinese energy, well just have to make these assumptions to be true so that we can press on with this theory to understand what Icke is saying. Icke believes that the moon is an interdimensional, interdensity portal for entities and energies from other dimensions. He believes that aliens use the moon as a home base for hijacking signals from the universe so that our bodily forms that are experiencing this virtual reality on Earth, cant fully experience what our creator meant for it to be. These aliens are the same reptilian shape-shifters that Icke claims are responsible for much of the suffering on our planet. Reptilians want to filter anything beyond our five senses so that it manipulates what kind of world we can experience. The reptilians keep us locked into these five states because it is a much lower density experience. Low frequency experiences include division, conflict, and emotional trauma, all of which are created by capitalistic, war hungry, religious zealot nations. The higher frequencies of experience are ones of harmony and understanding how we are all connected (similar to a life energy force of Chi, freely flowing). This higher state of consciousness is what the ancient cultures understood in the supposed Golden Ages of time and this is when the various mysteries were created. These megaliths such as the Great Pyramids of Giza, or the Puma Punku stones are all expressions of what our ancient cultures wanted us to be aware of. Icke claims that Einsteins theory of light being the fastest anything can travel is false; it is simply the speed limit the reptilian firewall imposes on us. Icke says when you break this speed barrier you leave the matrix. This is how the UFOs and reptilians travel interdimensionally. This is why weird things appear to happen to us as we approach the speed of light (it is actually perceived by the observer since we cant comprehend these things, thanks to the aforementioned firewall). At first I believed this part of Ickes theory to be without merit, but in the news I read about an Italian professor who was challenging Einsteins theory of relativity and how he arguably mightve sent bits of matter whirling at speeds faster than the speed of light. This observation was later proven incorrect, but it appears that there may be challenges to Einstein still in process. Another key element to support Ickes theory of the existence of this reptilian firewall is the discussion of dark matter. Dark matter is called dark because its not in the spectrum that telescopes (or human beings) can see. Dark matter doesnt emit electromagnetic radiation (e.g. infrared, UV, radio, xray or gamma) so its undetectable, hence dark. Dark matter just sits in a different frequency range than what we know (due to the firewall). The electromagnetic spectrum that we can detect is only 0.005 percent of what exists in the entire universe (with visible light being only a tiny fraction of that). By default, dark matter is a large majority of our universe that we cannot detect, so who are we to say that concepts like a firewall or virtual reality matrix are impossible. The connection between the moon and earth is crystalline. There are quartz crystals all over the planet, and they generate/convert waveforms to a particular frequency. The crystals in earth are there to be receiver/transmitters, sort of like re-broadcasters of signals. These signals are from the suns photons. The moon has hacked that connection and transmits its own message to us, which our DNA picks up (our DNA is like an antenna) and it is used to manipulate our senses and emotions. Our bodies (the antennas) must be tuned to this moon frequency so they keep us in low frequency vibrations through the food we eat, pollution, vaccines, music, images, films, etc. that keep us held in states of fear from which the reptilians feed off of. This is yet another bold step for the reader to take in order to follow along Ickes journey. He believes that reptilians feed off of these low-density energies that we emit when we experience negative things such as fear, disaster, war, violence, etc. When our bodies experience these things we emit an energy that sits in a certain frequency range in which these reptilian shape shifters may feed off of. They use this as a form of sustenance to shape shift into more human forms so they can directly come to our planet and manipulate us for the time being. The reptilians have also created a hybrid bloodline (what we know as the Illuminati) who have mostly human attributes that can do the reptilians bidding here on Earth. They have been doped with a slightly different bodily composition that allows them to be more directly manipulated than the entire human race. Those are the basics of the Moon Matrix theory of David Icke. Ive glossed over them very quickly, so feel free to read it straight from his book for more supporting facts. Whether or not I personally believe this is still in limbo. Setting the Moon Matrix idea aside, the moon has been known to influence human behavior. Icke asserts that the Moon is capable of blocking certain abilities of the pineal gland, which is our third eye that connects us with this one-consciousness idea. The ancient Egyptians did in fact hold this same worship of the pineal gland to be the third eye, so there could very well be a connection that needs explored. Ickes Moon Matrix theory may sound far-fetched, but it sets a path up for which we can begin to explore the possibility.

3	Obama administration wont reveal how many Americans emails the NSA has reviewed without warrantsTrevor Timm The question arose soon after Congress passed the FAA, which among other things sought to create immunity for telecoms that helped the NSA conduct warrantless wiretapping and gutted privacy protections for Americans communicating overseas. A New York Times investigation described how, under the FAA, a significant and systemic practice of overcollection of communications resulted in the NSAs intercepting millions of purely domestic emails and phone calls between Americans. In addition, documents obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request by the ACLU, although heavily redacted, revealed that violations [of the FAA and the Constitution] continued to occur on a regular basis through at least March 2010 the last month anyone has public data for. The FISA Amendments Act is currently up for renewal, and Sen. Wyden, along with Sen. Mark Udall, wants the NSA answer questions about these violations before Congress extends the law for five more years. We have concluded 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, the Senators alleged. Well, what about just a rough estimate? Last week, the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community officially responded for himself and the NSA Inspector General: such an estimate was beyond the capacity of his [the NSA IGs] office and dedicating sufficient additional resources would likely impede the NSAs mission. Then, almost unbelievably, the NSA IG excused itself further from oversight by saying that an IG review of the sort suggested would itself violate the privacy of U.S. persons. Thats right. The government says that it would violate Americans privacy for the NSAs inspector general to estimate how many Americans privacy have been violated by the NSA. The loophole that Wyden is likely talking about appears to be so-called back door searches. As Wyden explains it, since communications are sucked up without an individual warrant under the FAA, there must be clear rules prohibiting the government from searching through these communications in an effort to find the phone calls or emails of a particular American, unless the government has obtained a warrant or emergency authorization permitting surveillance of that American. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) rejected an amendment stating that as well. SSCI chairman Dianne Feinstein insisted no such loophole existed, but still refused to support the amendment that would have cleared up any ambiguity. In response, Sen. Ron Wyden commendably put a hold on the FAAs reauthorization in the Senatea procedural maneuver that will at least temporarily keep the bill from going forward without debateciting the potential massive privacy violations that the government will not explain to the American public. Unfortunately, the House has so far refused to compel such information as well. Two weeks ago, the House Judiciary Committee passed the re-authorization of the FISA Amendments Act 23-11, yet voted down all amendments that would have forced the government to be more transparent about the communications it had collected. Rep. Jackson-Lees amendmentsimilar to Sen. Wydens requestfor an estimate on how many times Americans emails have been read without a warrant was rejected, despite testimony from ACLUs Jameel Jaffer laying out all the evidence that dragnet surveillance of Americans communcations was rampant. The Judiciary committee also rejected an amendment requiring the release of redacted FISA rulingswhich are all classifiedand a shorter re-authorization period. Yesterday, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) did the same thing, unanimously voting to extend the law for five years as wellagain, with no known changesand in secret. These bills both still need to be voted on by the full House and Senate before going to the Presidents desk, and without amendments adding robust oversight, transparency, and privacy protections, they should be voted down. Please call your member of Congress and tell them you strenously oppose the reauthorization of the FISA Amendments Act.

3	After Legalizing Medical Marijuana, Puerto Rico Bans Smoking ItBy John Vibes While it is true that ingesting cannabis orally is far more healthy than smoking it, people should have the free choice to decide what they want to do with their own body, whether they have a prescription or not. Smoking marijuana is not being contemplated as part of a medical treatment, Justice Secretary Cesar Miranda told The Associated Press this week. However, many drug rights activists have pointed out that this is an oppressive policy. A lot of patients prefer to inhale the cannabis than take it orally. If they have to take it only through a pill, it can be very difficult to tell what the right dose is Its pretty short-sighted to take away that method that most patients rely on to figure out how cannabis affects them, Amanda Reiman of the Drug Policy Alliance said. This recent policy in Puerto Rico shows just how ridiculous politicians are getting when it comes to the legalization of marijuana. They are attempting to do everything they can to keep as many regulations on the plant as possible, so they can continue to make money on legal penalties. Even todays supposedly legal drugs like alcohol and tobacco are still under regulations so strict that they are not far from being prohibited either.

2	Muslim Brotherhood Makes Major Move Inside The US, This Is Bad... According to recent reports, the Muslim Brotherhood is allegedly working to build a political party in an attempt to organize Muslims to influence U.S. elections. Muslim voters have the potential to be swing voters in 2016, clams Nihad Awad, the leader behind the new U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations. The group has ties to radical groups. Reports indicate that the FBI raided Muslim Brotherhood locations following 9/11, and found pages of documents that outlined a disturbing plot and listed organizations that were being used a fronts to protect the Brotherhood. The same organizations listed in those documents now make up the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations. In fact, Muslim Brotherhood leaders have already began influencing politics abroad, and it not looks like they intend to expand into the United States. And lets not forget that the organizations own website claims that they strive to push Shariah Law as the basis for controlling the affairs of state and society. USCMO also aims to elect Islamists in Washington, with the ultimate objective of institutionalizing policies favorable to Islamiststhat is, Shariah law, stated one Investors Business Daily report. What do you think of the disturbing rumors?

'Feel free to drop in any time, kids, whether you need help with your schedule, are having trouble at home, or just want to rap,' said Wisniewski, who has maintained an 'open door' policy throughout his seven years at Harrison High. 'Whatever may be on your mind, I'm here to listen.' Speaking from his office in the back hallway next to the shop, Wisniewski added: 'I'm available during regular class periods, as well as before and after school every day except Fridays.' In addition to accepting students on a 'first come, first served' basis, Wisniewski said students can make appointments to see him by signing up on the clipboard hanging outside his door. Or, if they prefer, students can place a note in the adjacent padlocked box marked 'For Mr. Wisniewski100% Confidential.' 'Whatever I talk to a student about is kept between the two of us,' said Wisniewski, simulating a zipper closing over his lips. 'Earning the kids' trust is the key to being a good guidance counselor.' When not encouraging students to 'pop in for a minute,' Wisniewski is usually busy updating the Career Fields Rainbow bulletin board and organizing the racks of college brochures and anti-drug pamphlets that cover a wall of his windowless office. 'If you want to talk about something, please, don't feel shy about coming to see me,' said Wisniewski from behind his desk, the front of which is decorated with a Ziggy poster reading, 'Find What You Do Best, And Stick To It.' 'After all, that's what I'm here for.' 'Mr. Wisniewski's great,' Harrison High sophomore Casey Billups said. 'Like, if you want to get out of some boring class, you just tell the teacher you need to talk to Mr. Wisniewski about something. A lot of times, they'll believe you and let you go.' Of the three or four students who seek out Wisniewski during the average week, most wind up filling out career-choice questionnaires that gather such information as whether a student is a people-person, is creative, or likes to work with his or her hands. The results are then plotted on career wheels which are later found on the floor by the drinking fountain. 'Helping a student choose a career is not as simple as just reading off some piece of paper, though,' said Wisniewski. 'A student might test into a career in the fine arts, but, based upon what I know about that particular student, I might have to try to convince him that the military is a better choice.' Students who find their way to Wisniewski's office door, distinguishable from the janitor's closet by posters for Capri Cosmetology College and the DeVry Institute, say he is always willing to lend an understanding ear or a helping hand. 'He gave me a bunch of stuff about Mankato Area Technical College's restaurant-management program,' said junior Jennifer Thaler, 'but it must have been from last year, because the dates were all wrong.' 'I know first-hand how hard it is to know what you want to do with your life,' said Wisniewski, rearranging a bookshelf containing such titles as What Color Is Your Parachute? and Nursing: What An Adventure! 'It wasn't until my divorce nine years ago that I realized I wanted to do something that would allow me to make an actual difference in people's lives.' Before becoming a guidance counselor, Wisniewski was a bank-teller on track for a management position until he realized 'it just wasn't for me.' The career change has provided Wisniewski the opportunity to find fulfillment every day in working with young people. 'So, you're a Keough? Are you related to Debbie Keough?' Wisniewski asked junior Brett Keough. 'Oh, I thought maybe she was your older sistershe graduated from here five or six years ago.' Added Wisniewski, 'How about Kevin Keough?' Never content, Wisniewski continually strives to be a better guidance counselor, always searching for new ways to help the students of Harrison High. Just last week, he unveiled a new teen-suicide-prevention video library, from which any student can borrow videos on the honor system. 'There's really nothing more satisfying than the feeling you get guiding youngsters through that difficult period known as adolescence,' Wisniewski said. 'Some of the kids are reluctant to come to me because I'm an adult, but, as I always tell them, 'Hey, I was a teen once, tooI wasn't born 35, you know.' Basically, whatever I can do to help, I do. After all, we're all on this crazy rock together, folks.' 
2	Family Blames Cops After Daughter Dies Stealing Car, So Cop Fires Back EPIC Response Americans have gotten into the habit of blaming police officers when a criminal loses their life after breaking the law. In many cases, it is the criminals own choices that lead to the demise, and officers are simply doing their job. Take, for example, the three teenagers in St. Petersburg, FL, who were recently caught trying to steal a car. While attempting to flee from the cops, they wrecked into a pond. All three were killed. Laniya Miller, 15, Ashaunti Butler, 15, and Dominique Battle, 16, reportedly asked a 36-year-old man for a ride. When he stopped at a local Walmart before dropping the girls off, they decided to take off with his car. The owner quickly reported the vehicle stolen, and police officers from the Pinellas County Sheriffs Office spotted the group of girls driving it down the road. The Times reports that the young criminals failed to slow dong going around a sharp curve, and the vehicle ultimately went of the road and submerged 15 feet underwater. Officers were forced to evaluate. the situation, and determined that the conditions were too dangerous to put more people at risk. The chances of saving the girls were extraordinarily slim. Now, relatives of the criminals have gone to the media, blaming the officers for the girls deaths, claiming that they didnt do enough to save them. They are claiming neglect on the part of the officers. Now, one officer has taken to Facebook to dispute those claims, and he even posted dashcam footage to back his comments up. Read his response below and tell us what you think. 
2	Muslims Notice Reporter Doing Live Shot, Give Her Islamic Lesson For Looking To Pretty In a shocking new video, two Muslim men were caught providing an Islamic lesson to a female reporter in the Netherlands whose dress code violated the requirements of Shariah law. For which channel are you working, sir? one of the men is heard asking of the cameraman in the video. When the reporter replied that she was a woman, the other man began to harass her about her clothing. I can see half your ass, he whined. Everybody looks at your ass from behind. Are you always dressing like this? When the woman explained that yes, she does dress in this style, the men really went off on her. What a slut you are, one commented. Thats how sluts dress, too. Fix your clothes, said the other one. Try to look more decent. This lesson went on for a number of seconds before the two men shifted their attention to the new stations treatment of Moroccan immigrants, claiming it makes corny jokes about Islam. These comments helped reporters draw the conclusion that the men themselves were Muslim. What do you think? Is this just another example that strict Muslim culture is not compatible with Western values? 
3	Tech Giants Artificial Intelligence Monopoly Possibly the Most Dangerous in HistoryBy Josie Wales Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet, is in first place with 11 acquisitions, the most notable being DeepMind Technologies, which Google purchased for $600 million in 2014. The British startup was just four years old at the time of the acquisition and has been used to create free apps with the National Health Service and conserve energy by controlling the air conditioning units at Googles data centers. DeepMind made headlines in March 2016 when AlphaGo became the first computer program in history to beat a top-level Go player. Apple, Intel, and Twitter follow closely behind, with Samsung being the newest to jump into the fray after its acquisition of Viv Labs earlier this month. While consolidation within any emerging market is to be expected, there are serious causes for concern. Many of the startups being poached by tech giants are only a few years old and have not had a chance to develop before being swallowed by giant corporations with agendas of their own. This will inevitably stunt innovation and limit growth in the industry as startups will have to discard ideas in favor of the acquiring companys vision. Further, advancements in AI are occurring at a rapid pace with almost no public scrutiny or discussion in regards to ethics. Googles ethics board is shrouded in secrecy, with both DeepMind and Google refusing to disclose any details about the members of the board or what is discussed. As Anti-Media reported last week, Microsoft, IBM, Facebook, Google, and Amazon announced the creation of the Partnership on Artificial Intelligence to Benefit People and Society. These companies all have one goal, and that is to make money. In order for people to want to purchase AI products when made available, they first have to trust them. Right now, not many do and for good reason. Some of the industrys biggest names have voiced their concerns over the potential dangers of AI, including Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates. As Hawking put it,Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, it might also be the last.

2	U.S. School Forces Children To Praise Allah And Create Propaganda For ISIS According to recent reports, parents of children attending middle school in Huntington Beach, CA were shocked when they learned that seventh graders were being forced to sing a song promoting Islam. The song was reportedly written by a teacher, who used the melody of the song This is My Fight Song. The lyrics are as follows: Like a sandstorm/on the desert/sending camels/into motions The song was brought to the attention of parents after Nicole Negron, a parent at the school, claimed that her son came home with a book that included a stick figure man saying, Believe in Allah! There is no other God. I believe that by singing this song, the children feel comfortable believing that Allah might be the only god and maybe that they should start following him, Negron told reporters. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous? Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

3	Mainstream Academia/Media Attacks Conspiracy Theorists: Ignore Compelling Info, Focus on Irrational Sounding ThingsBy Cassius Methyl A Daily Mail article sports the headline Believe in conspiracy theories? Youre probably a narcissist: People who doubt the moon landings are more likely to be selfish and attention-seeking. Right: the University of Kent experts have really pinned down the root psychological machinations of a conspiracy theorist. Like other recent attacks on conspiracy theorists in mainstream academia, they associate moon landing conspiracy theories with all kinds of other historically proven, irrefutably true facts. The article tries to paint these people as absurd, saying Do you think the moon-landings were faked, vaccines are a plot for mind control, or that shadowy government agencies are keeping alien technology locked up in hidden bunkers? Here are some irrefutable facts to put reality in perspective: from an article titled Governments and Biowarfare: a Brief History 1932: The Tuskegee Syphilis Study begins. 200 black men diagnosed with syphilis are never told of their illness, are denied treatment, and instead are used as human guinea pigs in order to follow the progression and symptoms of the disease. They all subsequently die from syphilis, their families never told that they could have been treated. Follow this link for more info. 1950: In an experiment to determine how susceptible an American city would be to biological attack, the U.S. Navy sprays a cloud of bacteria from ships over San Francisco. Monitoring devices are situated throughout the city in order to test the extent of infection. Many residents become ill with pneumonia-like symptoms. Follow this link for more info. 1955: The CIA, in an experiment to test its ability to infect human populations with biological agents, releases a bacteria withdrawn from the Armys biological warfare arsenal over Tampa Bay, Fl. Follow this link for more info. 1956: U.S. military releases mosquitoes infected with Yellow Fever over Savannah, Ga and Avon Park, Fl. Following each test, Army agents posing as public health officials test victims for effects. Follow this link for more info. 1965: Prisoners at the Holmesburg State Prison in Philadelphia are subjected to dioxin, the highly toxic chemical component of Agent Orange used in Viet Nam. The men are later studied for development of cancer, which indicates that Agent Orange had been a suspected carcinogen all along.

More than a million civilians are exposed when army scientists drop lightbulbs filled with the bacteria onto ventilation grates. Follow this link for more info. 1990: More than 1500 six-month-old black and Hispanic babies in Los Angeles are given an experimental measles vaccine that had never been licensed for use in the United States. CDC later admits that parents were never informed that the vaccine being injected to their children was experimental. Follow this link for more info. 1994: With a technique called gene tracking, Dr. Garth Nicolson at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX discovers that many returning Desert Storm veterans are infected with an altered strain of Mycoplasma incognitus, a microbe commonly used in the production of biological weapons. Incorporated into its molecular structure is 40 percent of the HIV protein coat, indicating that it had been man-made. Follow this link for more info. The bottom line is, there are all types of historical facts, crimes committed by governments, events, pieces of information, that the ordinary person has not investigated. Once you learn about historical facts that are suppressed by governments, corporations, and their media partners, you realize this: Nobody has a perfect measure of probability. Nobody has the ability to say no, that cant be true, thats not probable, because to have an accurate sense of probability, youd have to know a lot more than you do. There are so many historical facts that could obliterate a persons perception of probable. If an ordinary person spent a few days being educated by a person into these facts, a person who mainstream culture would condemn as a conspiracy theorist, they would never see the world the same again. Mainstream academia cannot reasonably sit on a pedestal and claim that they have supreme ability to measure probability. Moon landing conspiracy theories have little to do with an understanding of the irrefutable reality of hegemony and its conniving, conspiring nature: the conspiring history of Rockefeller and Carnegie, the industrial magnates of the United States, creating corrupt academic institutions such as the University of Chicago, for example. Moon landing theories have little to do with the recent conspiracy facts of Halliburton being granted contracts in Iraq, or the US taking out Gaddafi in Libya to defend the petrodollar. Theres an entire world of geopolitics, an entire obfuscated world of geo-economic warfare, an entire world of power beneath the curtain of mainstream culture. Theres an entire world of history behind the industrial powers that fought in the World Wars (IG Farbin, National City Bank). Theres an entire world of depth behind the curtain of political theater, and it takes more effort to try and understand than some contracted, paid-off mainstream academics at the University of Kent are willing to put forth. Well, the amount of effort it takes is not something they cant do, its something they wont do. If youre reading this, thats probably abundantly clear to you. The establishment media would like to crush dissent, to crush speculation or questions for the official narrative: the truth is, its not narcissists who like to look deeper, its people with the common sense to realize that many things in our society are not right, and we need to understand history better to know why they are not right. Perhaps sometimes the more open-minded people could fall prey to an illusion, as we all might at times, but to try and paint it as some overarching, general rule of psychology that conspiracy theorists are narcissistic is preposterous. We need to understand where the structures of our society, corporations, and government powers really originated: the truth is, people conspire. Wealthy people conspire, infiltrate academia, have wars, use propaganda, and if a man in power can get away with something, history shows that they will take advantage. Please share this with as many people as possible, to clearly distinguish the difference between true geopolitics, true power, and some paranoid sounding speculation on the reality of the moon landing.

Oh wait!So reality deniers dont look in the mirror?Ugly bastards suffering with terminal cognitive dissonance. The best way to get someone to consider the possibility that there is a conspiracy to control the general public, ask them this : How can a Boeing 757/767 with an overall length of 155 3, a wingspan of 124 10, and a tail section 40 high leave an impact hole 20 in diameter in the exterior wall of the Pentagon? Hands-on experiment : buy a toy balsa wood airplane and assemble it by slipping the wing section through the slot in the fuselage. As a reference scale, say the total wingspan is 124 feet. That means that 1/3 of EACH wing is about 20 long. Using the measurement of 1/3 of one of the toy planes wings, draw a circle on a piece of paper that has the diameter of that measurement. Carefully cut out that circle. Now, without tearing the paper, slip that toy airplane through the hole you cut out. Ask James Randihe had an umbrella theory concerning this. (Much like the pancake theory onlysideways.) He presented it in such a condescending manner (as he did all his theories) that people were shamed into not getting and agreeing with it. He applied Occams Razor to everything. Of course, if one fell for Occam (or for failed magicians, for that matter) every time, there would be no scientific explanation for nearly anything. The Sun would still revolve around the Earth, because thats the most obvious explanation for sunrises and sunsets. Maggots would spontaneously materialize out the air on corpses. Blood would ebb and flow based on the tides. Dont be silly. Go with the most reasonable explanation, the one you are told. HighMaintenance, are you an architect? (They will ask.) Are you a designer of large aircraft? (They will ask.) Well, then, what business have you questioning the official explanation? (They will conclude. After all, we saw Rumsfeld in Armani picking up airplane parts on the lawn, in strict accordance with crime and crash scene chain-of-evidence control, what more do you need? A slightly charred passport and a Koran?) Hey, call me an idiot, I did the stopwatch/Building 7 experiment on the collapse. Guess what? What they taught us in junior high school arithmetic and basic physics? Dead wrong. Ive been an idiot for over fifty years, it seems. Newton, a fool. The Laws of Motion sheer nonsense, in the face of official government Truth. Now you, sir or madam, want to tell me about paper cutout experiments, when Rumsfeld (Godfather of aspartame for Searle) was out there sweating into his $3500 Italian suit for the security of Our Nation? Who do you think you are, man? What manner of blasphemy do you suggest, here? Wow!! I have no way to respond except to say you brought a chuckle to my life today, so thanks. Very good satire. Its always their strategy to attack people instead of their arguments. So transparent. like Nutty Yahoo all zionists use an extremely vindictive Offense as a Defenseattempting to steam roll over top of those that observe the truth despite what their mendacious chutzpah hubris in attempting to hide the elephant in the room with mass distraction coercive misdirection.. Totally agree. I stopped using Yahoo years ago when I made comments reporting the truth rather than the MSM narrative and my comments were constantly deleted. Fcough fool. Fcough! Do you have anything remotely coherent to add? some hopelessly inculcated children -Just cant handle the truth cheers Cypher Brilliantly said thank you. I think its the pot calling the kettle blackWhen theyre pointing their finger at us theyre actually looking in the mirror reflecting back their own unconscious narcissistic pseudo academic diagnosis with their other 3 fingers pointing back at themselveshopelessly programmed sycophantic idiots..truth be told.(imo) Hi Eddiy its called projection. thx so much for correcting me as I was unaware of this psychological term because I only have a room temperature IQ need other people to point out what I already knowcheers Youre Very welcome. I only recently discovered the term myself and was pleased to find something in the normally dubious science of psychology that is actually true and clear. Its a very useful concept, you find it often. actually I was being facetious but you took the High road cheers on that (lol) Sorry, Im not a sophisticated person, I tend to take things and people at face value. Im told (by tests) that I suffer from high functioning Aspergers. It means I dont have many friends but Im ok with that. I like me the way I am. I can always handle the TRUTH honest communication.. see ya around :-)) No, I disagree. Your definition is accurate when dealing with the norm, but these are twisted people you are talking about who are inventing new and diabolical techniques. Evil cops do the same when beating someone and all the while tell them to stop resisting. Good reply. I think you are talking about what I call the Opposites Principle that is when liars invert the truth. Its not like a normal lie in that you can actually learn new things by re-inverting the lie to find out the true meaning. This too is very common with these people. The Majority of people choose to leave the blinders on and only believe what the MSM propagandize to them.. I havent paid attention to MSM for over 23 years and it amazes me when you can document what you try to tell the sheeple and they do not want to hear it. Sad. In 2013 THE US Government Public Servants voted to allow Propaganda by the Media.. People still dont get it. I am glad I am awake and on the RED list At least that way I know the storm troopers will be coming Good post, brother You just cant fix their kind of stupid..elites my azzthey are the stupid bullies we always hated in school..just grown up and pretending to be a REAL humans, because they do not know how and are envious of those that are That is the most succinct and accurate definition of the people in power one could have. True leaders want to lift others up and advance all of their followers. Our current leadership will eventually kill THEMSELVES from their own hubris. (after they have killed the rest of us of course) Very good comment and one to remember when facing these large CHILDREN. My question/statement is this has gone on long enough where are all the adults? The evidence is everywhere we look and only those that want to propagate their agenda will deny its existence. And, when one has dropped the vale imposed by the propagandist of the State, the State will attempt to make those same said people out to be crazy, incompetent, and every other kind of nut case that they can. This is to convince those under the ether of the lies of the State to remain under its Svengali trance. Mistake #1: Another hit was recently attempted on the rising culture of educated people: people educated about conspiracies. Educate means to lead astray (etymologically) Well said! Deceipt is the heart of the conspiracies. the beast that promotes them then denies any wrong doing. The sooner the nwo leave this planet they can infest other planets the sooner a thousand years of peace will commence. That is because they teach us that one mans fact is merely anothers opinion. Yet for some reason anyone dropping a kitchen knife moves their feet out of the way. Still, they tell us the laws of gravity are mutable. If they so decree. its people with the common sense to realize that many things in our Absolutely 100% true. And the history we need to understand can only be found in the King James Bible. It is the only accurate history book extant. The one single source of truth in the world. Some people just want to disrupt the facts with sockpuppetry. They attack all evidence that proves their theory wrong. If their predictions are wrong, their theories are wrong. Conspiracy theories have become predictions and are no longer theories. These mainstream academia and MS media talking heads think they can defeat a message by attacking the messenger. They accept dogma instead of questioning dogma. Theyre a pitiful bunch of coconuts! 
2	Biker Gangs Are Attacking Muslim Refugee After Rapes According to recent reports, 1,700 demonstrators in Germany gathered to protest the inflow of migrants into their country. They also called for the removal of Angela Merkel. What started as goodwill has turned into a nightmare for the European country. With escalating violence, even compassionate Germans are starting to feel the threat to their very culture and security at the hands of migrants. And the outrage doesnt stop with the protests either. According to some reports, a rogue band of bikers, hooligans and bouncers have organized a migrant manhunt and have started to take matters into their own hands. Two young Pakistani men needed hospital treatment after being attacked by vigilante gangs hunting foreigners in Cologne in apparent revenge attacks for the mass sexual assaults on women on New Years Eve, The Evening Standard reported, indicating that police said the first incident took place early yesterday evening when a group of about 20 men attacked six Pakistanis near the main station near the railway station where New Years Eve attacks took place. A 39-year-old Syrian national was also reported to have been attacked by a group of give people. The intention of the group of bikers, according to reports from the Cologne magazine Express, is to organize a human hunt to clean up the city center. Authorities have been unable to confirm reports, but sources say that they have been receiving tip-offs from groups that were specifically looking for provocation. What do you think of the rogue gang? Are all Western societies at risk here? 
1	Sitting by herself at a table in the Pocatello Tool Works lunchroom, devout Christian Brenda Smolensk announced Monday that she is 'convinced beyond any doubt' that she is not alone. 'Oh, there may not be anybody sitting to my right, my left or anywhere else at this table,' Smolensk said, 'but He is with me.' Smolensk's co-workers said her overwhelming love of Christ is the reason for her lack of companionship. 'We used to sit with her,' co-worker Don Inkster said, 'but she wouldn't shut up about Jesus and the Bible and stuff. Now we wait for her to sit down before deciding where to eat.' Smolensk is also convinced she did not spend last Christmas, New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day, Easter and Thanksgiving alone. 
1	Tawny Bridges, Miss Nude America 2003, was forced to relinquish her crown amid scandal Monday, when it was discovered that she had appeared clothed in a 1999 issue of Woman's Day magazine. 'Miss Bridges has conducted herself in a wholesome manner entirely unbecoming of this title,' pageant chairman Peter Taub said. 'We are a non-profit pageant that provides scholarships to promising young nude women and cannot condone her decision to pose clad.' 
1	Speaking with reverence about how rampant and devastating the disease once was, local grandfather Raymond Murphy reportedly appeared to be proud Monday of how many people were killed by polio during his childhood. You probably dont know much about it because now we have the vaccine, but back in my day, polio was a real big deal, said Murphy, reportedly relishing the knowledge that, in 1952 alone, tens of thousands of Americans contracted the spinal cord infection and over 3,000 died from it. My mother was scared to death one of us might get it. There was a kid at my grammar school who had to wear leg braces because of polio. Not even the president of the United States was safe from it. At press time, Murphy became sentimental while explaining to his grandson about the pain and discomfort of being confined to an iron lung. 
1	Barack Obama stands alone in the ruins of what was once his living room, calling out in vain for a dog that never comes. Less than 36 hours ago, his house stood proudly intact. But the violent tornado that tore through the region late Sunday night upended everything in an instant, scattering his belongings and leaving his family homeless and helpless. 'My God, just look at this,' the 48-year-old government employee said as he surveyed the splintered furniture and mangled chandeliers that littered the 18-acre property. 'Everything is gone. Our clothes, our family photos, the federal budget for fiscal year 2011it's all gone.' Added Obama, 'This was our dream home.' With no relatives in the area to turn to, the Obamas have been living in the basement of Calvary Methodist Church on M Street and bathing at the nearby YMCA. However, with the church running low on canned goods and funds to support the displaced family, Obama worries he and his loved ones may soon be forced to move into a shelter or live out of their motorcade. 'My youngest daughter keeps asking me when we can go home,' said part-time social worker Michelle Obama, 46, who escaped the disaster with nothing more than her enduring spirit and the Narciso Rodriguez cap-sleeve silk dress on her back. 'I don't know what to tell her.' Joe Biden, 67, helps Obama sort through personal documents in the remains of his home office. As of press time, several items of sentimental value to the family remained unaccounted for, including Mrs. Obama's wedding gown, both daughters' baby books, David Axelrod, and an antique portrait of George Washington that had been in the home for generations. For Mr. Obama, who had worked primarily from a home office, the tornado's merciless destruction has been a doubly painful blow. 'My desk was right here,' said a drawn Obama, pointing down at a tattered, rubble-strewn carpet bearing the Seal of the President of the United States. 'I'd sit here every morning with my cup of coffee and paper, quietly perusing the latest intelligence on credible terrorist plots against the U.S. mainland.' 'I'd give anything to have the comfort of that daily routine back,' Obama added. According to the National Weather Service, the category F3 tornado was spawned by a line of severe thunderstorms that struck the District of Columbia around 11 p.m. Sunday. The funnel cloud, with winds gusting up to 165 miles per hour, touched down only briefly, carving a short but devastating swath of destruction along Pennsylvania Avenue that not only leveled the family's house, but also uprooted numerous trees and drove one of Obama's American-flag lapel pins 3 inches into the north face of the Washington Monument. Although they had only lived in the charming 132-room house for a year and a half, the Obamas had been eyeing the residence for years before finally being able to close on it in November 2008. What Obama had worked ceaselessly to attain, however, was demolished in a matter of moments, with the ravaging storm not even sparing his wife's beloved backyard vegetable garden. 'A really loud roaring noise woke me up, and I just knew it was a twister,' said Malia Obama, 12, clad in an ill-fitting 'Hillary 2008' sweatshirt donated by a family friend. 'So, just like Dad taught us, we all ran out of our bedrooms, down the Grand Staircase, through the foyer, the East Colonnade, and the Garden Room, down into the East Wing sub-basement, and made it into the bunker just as the roof of the house was lifted off.' While the Obamas acknowledge that regrouping from such a devastating tragedy will be a long and difficult process, they are drawing strength from the overwhelming outpouring of support and generous donations they have received from friends, neighbors, and lobbyists. 'When I heard the bad news, I figured I'd swing over with a few longnecks for Barry and some intimates for Michelle,' said Joe Biden, one of Barack Obama's coworkers, referring to the six-pack of Budweiser and assortment of women's underwear and negligee that he hand-delivered to the family Monday evening. 'Hope she's a size 10. Sure looks like a 10.' 
1	According to the findings of a recent Department of Health and Human Services study, school lunch programs that teach children to avoid all contact with food may not be an effective method of reducing teen obesity rates. Students at Culver Junior High are taught the dangers of eating even one tater tot. Despite the popularity of abstinence-only meal programs in schools across the country, the study found that children who were provided with no food at lunch and cautioned against eating at an early age were no less likely to become overweight than those who were provided with a well-rounded nutritional education. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the findings could adversely affect federal funding for all programs that tell kids 'lunch is worth waiting for.' 'There's no evidence to suggest that instructing teens not to chew, swallow, or even think about food is actually going to stop them from eating,' Sebelius told reporters. 'Let's face it: Kids are already eating. And not only during lunchtime. They're eating after school, at the mall, in their parents' basements. Pretending like it's not happening isn't going to make it go away.' 'After all, they're teenagers,' Sebelius continued. 'Eating is practically the only thing on their minds.' Researchers tracked a random sampling of students who received an abstinence-only education, like those in the popular 'None for Me!' lunch program at Woodbridge High School in Chicago, which encourages children to abstain from eating until after graduation. A pledge to sustenance abstinence. 'Although these students were repeatedly warned about the evils of eating and made to take fasting pledges, the abstinence-only program did little to curb their overall appetite for food,' the report read in part. 'In fact, students at Woodbridge were nearly three times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than children who were given a portion of meat, whole grains, and green vegetables, and then encouraged to skip dessert.' Perhaps more troubling, students who completed the abstinence-only program were reportedly unable to answer the simplest questions about their own digestive systems, and some as old as 17 still believed they could catch high blood pressure from their very first Snickers bar. 'Kids need to know the truth about food,' said Sue Weber, a nutritionist. 'It's irresponsible for these schools to fill their students with misinformation about the devil working through trans fats, instead of just saying to them, 'Look, I know eating that entire box of Cheez-Its might feel good now, but when you're older, you're going to wish you had gone for the salad.'' Others argue that complete food abstinence sets an unrealistic standard for the nation's hungry teenagers. 'You can't just tell kids not to eat,' said child psychologist Dr. Beth Garcia. 'As children grow and their bodies begin to develop, they're going to have certain metabolic urges that are impossible to suppress. We should be giving our kids the tools they need to engage in safe, responsible eating. I'd hate for someone's first time to be with some greasy cheeseburger in the backseat of a car.' Garcia also urged parents to talk to their young children about food before it's too late. Despite the study's findings, many parents continue to support abstinence-only lunch programs, claiming that it's their right to protect their children from knowing anything about calories for as long as possible. 'It's not the government's place to step in and tell my kids about food and how it's okay in moderation or whatever,' said Woodbridge PTA member Steven Bray, a father of two students. 'My son's going to learn how to eat the same way I didby watching monkeys do it at the zoo.' Yesterday, President Obama called on the nation's public school system to work together with his administration to develop a more progressive lunch program that emphasizes healthy eating and discourages late-night snacking. But it remains unclear how students will adjust to the new, more honest nutritional approach. 'I'm never ever going to eat, because eating is wrong, and I'm worth more than a chicken sandwich with asparagus and rice pilaf,' Woodbridge seventh-grader Tracey Holmes said. 'I heard Jennifer Hines eats all the time, like 50 times a day. I heard she eats all her ice cream upside-down, though, so she doesn't get fat. That's how it works.' 'It's really hard, though,' Holmes added. 'I get so hungry sometimes. Especially after hours and hours of unprotected sex.' 
2	Hillary Clinton Breaks Her Silence, Releases Shocking New Statement Hillary Clinton was clearly shocked on Tuesday night when she lost the election to Donald Trumpsomething the media had repeatedly assured her was impossible. It is clear she was not prepared for this outcome, and it took hours for her to finally break her silence and address her supporters. Some have speculated she didnt either bother writing a concession speech, and sources confirm her team spent the early morning hours of Wednesday writing up a statement for her. When she finally pulled herself together, heres what she had to say: Thank you. Last night, I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country. I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans. This is not the outcome we wanted or we worked so hard for, and Im sorry we did not win this election for the values we share and the vision we hold for our country. But I feel pride and gratitude for this wonderful campaign that we built together - this vast, diverse, creative, unruly, energized campaign. You represent the best of America, and being your candidate has been one of the greatest honors of my life. I know how disappointed you feel, because I feel it too. And so do tens of millions of Americans who invested their hopes and dreams in this effort. This is painful, and it will be for a long time. But I want you to remember this: Our campaign was never about one person or even one election. It was about the country we love and about building an America thats hopeful, inclusive, and big-hearted. We have seen that our nation is more deeply divided than we thought. But I still believe in America - and I always will. And if you do, too, then we must accept this result - and then look to the future. Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead. Our constitutional democracy enshrines the peaceful transfer of power, and we dont just respect that, we cherish it. It also enshrines other things - the rule of law, the principle that were all equal in rights and dignity, and the freedom of worship and expression. We respect and cherish these things too and we must defend them. And let me add: Our constitutional democracy demands our participation, not just every four years, but all the time. So lets do all we can to keep advancing the causes and values we all hold dear: making our economy work for everyone, not just those at the top; protecting our country and protecting our planet; and breaking down all the barriers that hold anyone back from achieving their dreams. Weve spent a year and a half bringing together millions of people from every corner of our country to say with one voice that we believe that the American Dream is big enough for everyone for people of all races and religions, for men and women, for immigrants, for LGBT people, and people with disabilities. Our responsibility as citizens is to keep doing our part to build that better, stronger, fairer America we seek. And I know you will. I am so grateful to stand with all of you. I want to thank Tim Kaine and Anne Holton for being our partners on this journey. It gives me great hope and comfort to know that Tim will remain on the front-lines of our democracy, representing Virginia in the Senate. To Barack and Michelle Obama: Our country owes you an enormous debt of gratitude for your graceful, determined leadership, and so do I. To Bill, Chelsea, Marc, Charlotte, Aidan, our brothers, and our entire family, my love for you means more than I can ever express. You crisscrossed this country on my behalf and lifted me up when I needed it most - even four-month old Aidan traveling with his mom. I will always be grateful to the creative, talented, dedicated men and women at our headquarters in Brooklyn and across our country who poured their hearts into this campaign. For you veterans, this was a campaign after a campaign for some of you, this was your first campaign ever. I want each of you to know that you were the best campaign anyone has had. To all the volunteers, community leaders, activists, and union organizers who knocked on doors, talked to neighbors, posted on Facebook even in secret or in private: Thank you. To everyone who sent in contributions as small as $5 and kept us going, thank you. And to all the young people in particular, I want you to hear this. Ive spent my entire adult life fighting for what I believe in. Ive had successes and Ive had setbacks - sometimes really painful ones. Many of you are at the beginning of your careers. You will have successes and setbacks, too. This loss hurts. But please, please never stop believing that fighting for whats right is worth it. Its always worth it. And we need you keep up these fights now and for the rest of your lives. To all the women, and especially the young women, who put their faith in this campaign and in me, I want you to know that nothing has made me prouder than to be your champion. I know that we still have not shattered that highest glass ceiling. But some day someone will - hopefully sooner than we might think right now. And to all the little girls watching right now, never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world. Finally, I am grateful to our country for all it has given me. I count my blessings every day that I am an American. And I still believe, as deeply as I ever have, that if we stand together and work together, with respect for our differences, strength in our convictions, and love for this nation - our best days are still ahead of us. You know I believe we are stronger together and will go forward together. And you should never be sorry that you fought for that. Scripture tells us: Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, we shall reap, if we do not lose heart. I am incredibly honored and grateful to have had this chance to represent all of you in this consequential election. May God bless you and god bless the United States of America. Hillary

2	BREAKING: Whoopi Goldberg To Be FORCED Off TV After Doing THIS For some time now, Whoopi Goldberg has been growing increasingly extreme and nonsensical with her liberal opinions on the show The View. Now, some new reports indicate that her days on the show could be nearing an end. According to mediate, Whoopi is fed up with the struggling television show, even though (for reasons we cant comprehend) ABC executives want her to come back for another season. They are currently in negotiations to renew her contract, which expires at the end of this year. Whoopi has told those close to her she will exit the show, one daytime TV veteran exclusively told The Wrap. Whoopis co-host Raven-Symone is also reportedly close to leaving the show, but that appears to be a decision made by ABC executives, who are showing very little interest in renewing. What do you think? Would you be glad to see Whoopi go? 
1	Following persistent safety concerns regarding the playing surface throughout the regular season, the NFL made firm assurances Friday to both the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers that the bottomless pit in the middle of the field at Levis Stadium will be fully repaired before Super Bowl 50. The Super Bowl is the biggest sporting event in the world, and we are working closely with Levis Stadium to ensure that the turfs bottomless pit will not be an issue come game time, NFL field director Ed Mangan said of the 14-foot-diameter hole situated near the 40-yard line, adding that the risk of a player accidentally slipping and being lost forever in an infinite black void is something the league takes very seriously. We certainly want to avoid another incident like the one earlier this season when [St. Louis Rams safety] T.J. McDonald fell into the abyss and his screams just grew fainter and fainter without anyone ever hearing him hit the ground. The league will do everything in its power to minimize the potential of something like that happening on Sunday. At press time, the NFL had declared that the field is ready for the Super Bowl after Levis Stadium grounds crews had covered the pit with a large wooden board. 
2	Obama Caught Doing THIS Sickening Thing To 1,000s Of Americans According to recent reports, federal marshals have secretly been using cell phone surveillance tools to hunt more than 6,000 suspects throughout the United States. In the newly-disclosed records, the agency accidentally identified itself as the nations most prolific known user of phone-tracking devices. Now, the Marshals Service has confirmed the use of stringray devices while, ironically, trying to keep it secret. They rejected a Freedom of Information Act request for a copy of its log of cases. The spreadsheet that was provided regarding its stingray cases included the information of the cases stripped out line by line. In doing so, it was possible to count the number of entries the agency had made on its log of stringray uses. Stingrays are devices the size of a suitcase, that can pinpoint a cellphones locations within a few yards by posing as a cell tower. The process also allows them to intercept information about cellphones that happen to be nearbysomething that has caused significant pushback by lawmakers. Just that sheer number is significant, American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Nathan Wessler told reporters. Thats a lot of deployments of a very invasive surveillance tool. Experts confirm that not disclosing the use of stringrays is the agencys policy. The Technical Operations Group instructs agents that they should not reveal sensitive or classified information or programs without approval from the surveillance unit. For any sensitive technique, method, source or tool, it only makes good sense that law enforcement would not divulge this information, William Sorukas, a former supervisor of the Marshal Services domestic investigations arm told reporters. What do you think of this new information? Were the Marshals within in their rights or is this a breach of privacy? 
2	BREAKING: Its Not Over... GOP Stand Up To Overturn FBI Verdict On Hillary Clinton FBI Director James Comey sparked outrage this week when he announced that he would not recommend pressing charges against Hillary Clinton, despite her careless handling of classified information. Now, reports indicate that House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) has confirmed that Comey will testify before his panel today regarding the bureaus investigation of Clintons email practices. Congress and the American people have a right to understand the depth and breadth of the FBIs investigation, Chaffetz said in a statement, adding that Comey had agreed to his request. We hope that American everywhere will truly consider the weight of Clintons actions. We cant have someone like her in the White House. It is a danger to our securitynot to mention our sanity. Do you agree? 
2	He Has Been One Of Countrys Cherished Children Since 1950, What He Looks Like NowOMG 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 a 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. 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	Despite massive market-saturation and advance promotion, the first three issues of Rat Fancy, a new monthly magazine devoted to rats and the people who love them, has failed to generate the level of consumer interest necessary to continue publishing, editor Frankie DelGabrio said Monday. 'Despite being packed with rat photos, true-life stories about rats, and helpful rat-care tips, it somehow hasn't found its audience,' DelGabrio said. 'The June issue, which features a precious, full-color centerfold of a hungry rat family approaching a sleeping baby in its crib, will sadly be the magazine's last.' Added DelGabrio, 'I love sweet, cuddly rats with all my heart.' 
3	The Inflation Rate Is A Lie TooMichael Snyder, Contributor According to John Williams of shadowstats.com, if inflation was measured the same way that it was back in 1990, the inflation rate would be about 5 percent right now. If inflation was measured the same way that it was back in 1980, the inflation rate would be about 9 percent right now. But instead, we are expected to believe that the inflation rate is hovering around 2 percent. Well, anyone that goes to the supermarket or fills up their vehicle with gasoline knows that prices are going up a lot faster than that. Just about everything that we buy on a regular basis is steadily becoming more expensive, and so most Americans are not buying it when government officials tell us that there is barely any inflation right now. John Williams is not the only one doing research into these inflation numbers. According to the American Institute for Economic Research, the real rate of inflation was about 8 percent last year. The following is an excerpt from a story that was recently posted on the website of Pittsburghs NPR news station. The federal government says that consumer prices rose moderately last year, but if you think the cost of everyday purchases increased more than that, then youre probably right according to the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER). Anyone that buys food on a regular basis knows that food prices have been going up significantly over the past couple of years, and because of the current drought things are about to get a whole lot worse. In particular, the drought is expected to send meat prices much higher over the next 12 months. The following is from a recent Reuters article. The worst drought to hit U.S. cropland in more than half a century could soon leave Americans reaching deeper into their pockets to fund a luxury that people in few other countries enjoy: affordable meat. Drought-decimated fields have pushed grain prices sky high, and the rising feed costs have prompted some livestock producers to liquidate their herds. This is expected to shrink the long-term U.S. supply of meat and force up prices at the meat counter. Some analysts are projecting that we could see food prices rise by 14 percent or more over the next year. So you might want to start clipping more coupons, because a trip to the supermarket is about to become even more painful on the wallet. Water bills have also been steadily rising all over the country. According to a study conducted by USA Today, some Americans have seen their water bills triple over the past 12 years. While most Americans worry about gas and heating oil prices, water rates have surged in the past dozen years, according to a USA TODAY study of 100 municipalities. Prices at least doubled in more than a quarter of the locations and even tripled in a few. So what is causing water prices to skyrocket? The following are the reasons given by USA Today. The trend toward higher bills is being driven by: Unfortunately, one of the experts USA Today interviewed said that we can expect water bills to rise between 5 percent and 15 percent a year moving forward. Of course the price of gasoline has also become absolutely outrageous. It has doubled since Barack Obama entered the White House, and the average American household spent more than $4000 on gas last year. In California, temporary refinery problems have sent gasoline prices absolutely skyrocketing over the past week. The average price of a gallon of gasoline hit another brand new record high on Sunday. According to AAA, the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline in California is now $4.655, and at some stations it is well over $5.00 a gallon. Sadly, some analysts are warning that the supply problems in California may last until November. But despite all of the evidence to the contrary, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke continues to insist that prices are very stable right now. In fact, one of the reasons why he says that more money printing (quantitative easing) is okay is because we are in a low inflation environment at the moment. Sadly, this is exactly the kind of delusional thinking that led to the horrible crisis in the Weimar Republic back in the 1920s. Quantitative easing did not work for the Weimar Republic, and it is not going to work for us either. But it will cause the prices of the things that we buy on a regular basis to go up even more. Well, perhaps we can avoid paying higher prices for things by having the government give them to us for free. That is what some Americans are doing. There are some Americans out there that have absolutely no shame at all and will squeeze as much free stuff out of the government that they can. For example, one woman in Baltimore has actually accumulated 30 free Obamaphones. The video below explains how she has been able to get 30 free cell phones all paid for by the U.S. government.

1	Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, whose passing improved dramatically over the past two weeks as he completed 66 percent of his passes and threw for seven touchdowns, claims his newfound accuracy came from his decision to throw the ball right-handed. 'I just sort of got in the habit of carrying the ball in my left hand, and I just used my right hand for stiff-arming people,' said Vick, who completed a remarkable 20 of 28 passes to his pleasantly stunned receivers in the October 29 game against the Bengals. 'Do you know, a lot of people mistakenly thought I was left-handed? I guess that's my fault.' Vick added that his fumble against Cincinnati was due to his not knowing that it was, in fact, legal to carry the ball in both hands. 
3	The Purpose of Geoengineering and Chemtrails is DeathUrgent Alert: Throughout May of 2013, Southern California, home of 22 million people, received by far the most powerful daily aerosol attacks this writer has ever seen since learning of the Geoengineering issue in 2007. The sky remains whited-out and mountains ten miles away are barely visible due to toxic chemtrail fallout. Humanity, as motivated individuals of conscience, must unite and take immediate action to save lives and nature. Everyone must be informed quickly to stop this soft-kill murder operation, which is clearly escalating. Geoengineering, often referred to as Chemtrails, exists as a global nuisance for the primary purposes of causing severe bodily injury and premature death with malice aforethought. Geoengineering involves large aircraft constantly spraying tiny particles of aluminum and barium, amongst many other harmful toxins, into the air/atmosphere. All people and animals then inhale these toxins while breathing, without informed consent. The toxins also poison the soil and fresh water sources. It is well known and documented that long-term exposure to air pollution consisting of particulate matter significantly increases the risk of dying from lung cancer and heart disease. Over many years, the danger of breathing soot-filled air is comparable to the health risks associated with long-term exposure to second-hand smoke. In 2010 alone, 1,200,000 Chinese were killed by particulate air pollution. The principle dangers of inhaling particulate matter applies to smoke and second-hand smoke causing lung cancer; coal miners lung (anthracosis), a lung disease due to inhalation of coal dust; and bakers lung, inhaling flour and other allergens causes severe asthma. These dangers can be avoided, while Geoengineering particulate fallout cannot. On a massive scale Geoengineering will likely result in democide if not stopped completely. According to Professor R.J. Rummel of the University of Hawaii, Democide is the murder of any person or people by a government, including genocide, politicide, and mass murder. Democide does not include soldiers killed in battle. During the 20th Century (1900s) alone, Rummel calculates that government power was used to murder approximately 262,000,000 people. It appears that history is repeating itself with improved technology. Secondary purposes of Geoengineering include controlling the climate/weather for warfare and profits, and destroying the natural world while furthering the transhumanist/synthetic biology agenda. The evidence indicates that Geoengineering is an essential element of the elites Endgame move to depopulate the planet. The public must be educated and the stratospheric spraying stopped immediately. For the purposes of this article, Geoengineering and Chemtrails are defined as a military-industrial complex program, in partnership with private contractors and possibly major airlines, whereby planes spray particulate matter (particles/substances) into the atmosphere that otherwise would not be there. Simply searching for images and videos of Chemtrails online will quickly provide overwhelming visual evidence demonstrating that they exist all over the world. Thousands of images containing strange aerial spraying formations can be seen in a matter of seconds. Numerous documentaries like What in the World are They Spraying and Why in the World are They Spraying have been watched by millions of people. There is abundant documentation that Chemtrails exist. The Air Forces 1990 Chemtrails chemistry manual is available online for download. Evergreen Aviation admits that it has chemtrail contracts with the Air Force. Exclusive lists of chemtrail patents are available. Congressman, Dennis Kucinich tried to stop Chemtrails with his Space Preservation Act of 2001. In 2010 Scientists and Aerospace Engineers presented conclusive evidence for Covert Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering, (aka Chemtrails) in a 336-page report called Case Orange. The term Chemtrails is in the text of 2001 legislation, (HR-2977) where Chemtrails are defined as an exotic weapon. The Case Orange report was commissioned by The Belfort Group, who held a Chemtrail Symposium, where the conclusions were presented by Aerospace Engineer, Dr. Coen Vermeeren. Germany and Sweden admit to Chemtrails. Many military whistleblowers like Kristen Meghan and Ben Livingston have courageously stepped forward to expose Geoengineering. Now, even government entities, such as the State of Texas, openly acknowledge that they are engaged in Geoengineering for weather modification. Private pilots have taken up-close videos that prove beyond all doubt that the population is being sprayed from planes above without informed consent. There is also video evidence of Chemtrails being turned on, then turned off, then turned back on again. Scientists and weathermen discuss Chemtrails, and many believe it is the most important topic in the world today. Scientist and researcher Clifford Carnicom and many others have sacrificed much to inform the public about the dangers of Chemtrails/Geoengineering. Governments spend billions of dollars per year on Chemtrail spraying without telling the citizens.Geoengineering programs are having the effect of blocking out sunlight. The emergence of the Chemtrails phenomenon coincided with an average 22% drop in sunlightreaching the earths surface. Even the New York Times recently published a story stating that the Globe Grows Darker as Sunshine Diminishes 10% to 37%. Geoengineering is not mentioned in the Times article and no place for readers to comment was provided. To be blunt, governments are Geoengineering and realize Chemtrail dangers yet refuse to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. Hundreds of laboratory tests reveal that the primary components of Geoengineering are aluminum and barium. Other components include Synthetic polymers, Ethylene dibromide, Morgellons disease, viruses, fungi, and bacteria. The toxic metal particulates are rapidly absorbed from the respiratory system and / or the gastrointestinal tract and are deposited in the lungs, muscles, and bone. According to Medscape, aluminum accumulation in tissues and organs results in their dysfunction and toxicity. If a significant load exceeds the bodys excretory capacity, the excess is deposited in various tissues, including bone, brain, liver, heart, spleen, and muscle. This accumulation causes morbidity and mortality. No living systems use aluminum as part of a biochemical process. It has a tendency to accumulate in the brain and bones. The Material Safety Data Sheet for aluminum states that the most notable symptoms of aluminum poisoning are diminishing intellectual function, forgetfulness, inability to concentrate and, in extreme cases, full-blown dementia, and Alzheimers. Its toxicity also causes bone softening and bone mass loss, kidney and other soft tissue damage and, in large enough doses, can cause cardiac arrest. Additionally, aluminum is strongly linked to Autism. Barium is toxic to humans and animals and causes a dramatic drop in potassium levels in the body. For this reason (and others), barium is known to considerably increase the frequency of heart attacks in persons 65 years and older. Sulphur is another toxin associated with Geoengineering. Laboratory tests with test animals indicate that Sulphur can cause serious vascular damage in veins of the brains, the heart and the kidneys. These tests also indicate that certain forms of sulfur can cause fetal damage and congenital defects. Mothers can even carry sulfur poisoning over to their children through their milk. Sulphur can also damage the internal enzyme systems of animals. There are still large numbers of people who remain in denial about the openly stated agenda for global population reduction, as well as the consequences of this program that are unfolding. Abundant evidence proves that a criminal global elite has been obsessed with eugenics and its modern-day incarnation, population control, for well over 100 years and that goal of global population reduction remains a priority.Chemtrails and Geoengineering are clearly part of the death agenda and represent the equivalent of spraying ants to death with a can of slow-acting poison. However, in this case, the poison is mega-tons of particulate aluminum, barium, and other toxins consistently sprayed from above, the can is a jet plane, and the target is humans. Scientific studies prove that breathing particulate matter associated with Chemtrails over time will harm and kill us. A 16-year study by New York and Brigham Young Universities proved that long-term exposure to air pollution that contains high concentrations of tiny particles of soot and dust significantly increases the risk of dying from lung cancer and heart disease. The researchers calculated that the number of deaths from lung cancer increases by 8% for every 10 micrograms of fine particulate matter per cubic meter, according to the study. Likewise, a study that analyzed 52 years of historical surface measurements of haze data in theChinese city of Guangzhou demonstrated that the dramatic increase in the occurrence of air pollution events between 1954 and 2006 was followed by a large increase in the incidence of lung cancer. Many other reputable studies have also proven the link between particulate matter in the air, cancer, and death. Investigative journalist and author of Chemtrails Confirmed, William Thomas, found that Chemtrails inflict eye infections, nosebleeds, skin sores, muscle pain, chronic exhaustion, weakened immunity, acute asthma and allergies, short-term memory loss and heart attacks on people in more than a dozen countries. Thomas writes: Small particulates like the aluminum oxide found in Chemtrails also kill. According to the New York Times, microscopic motes are able to infiltrate the tiniest compartments in the lungs and pass readily into the bloodstream. Particles in the size range called for by the Welsbach Patent describing Chemtrails are most strongly tied to illness and early death, particularly in people who are already susceptible to respiratory problems. [New York Times Oct 14/06] The Welsbach Patent calls for megatons of 10 micron-size aluminum oxide particles to be spread in the atmosphere. The EPA calls particles this small an extreme human health hazard leading to 5% increased death rate within 24 hrs. Hearts as well as lungs can be damaged by ultra-fine particles small enough to get into the bloodstream and inflame tissues and cells, reports the LA Times. After they reach the heart, the particles are thought to cause a stress reaction in cells, producing inflammation that contributes to heart disease. The particles also may cause blood clots. [Los Angeles Times Dec 29/03] The Neurotoxicology (brain poisoning) division of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says that exposure to airborne Particulate Matter is an environmental health risk of global proportions. [Health Risks of Aerosoled Particulates PubMed Abstract] The EPA explains that by penetrating deep into the lungs and circulatory system, these dust-size particles are implicated in tens of thousands of deaths annually from both respiratory and coronary disease. During 2010, 1,200,000 Chinese were killed by air pollution. Air pollution is a fact of life in cities such as Beijing, where many people wear breathing masks when travelling outdoors to guard against PM2.5 particles [particulate matter] tiny pollutants that can go deep into the lungs and cause cancer, bronchitis and asthma. Based upon the above studies, one must conclude that breathing Chemtrail fallout will harm and kill humans. Russell Blaylock, M.D., states that tons of nanosized aluminum compounds are being sprayed daily over our skies. These nanosized particles induce intense inflammation in a number of tissues, particularly the brain and spinal cord. Nanoparticles of aluminum penetrate the brain by a number of routes, leading to Alzheimers, Parkinsons, and Lou Gehrigs diseases. Blaylock writes: Inhaling this environmentally suspended nanoaluminum will also produce tremendous inflammatory reaction within the lungs, which will pose a significant hazard to children and adults with asthma and pulmonary diseases. I pray that the pilots who are spraying this dangerous substance fully understand that they are destroying the lives and health of their families as well. This is also true of our political officials. Once the soil, plants, and water sources are heavily contaminated there will be no way to reverse the damage that has been done. Steps need to be taken now to prevent an impending health disaster of enormous proportions if this project is not stopped immediately. Otherwise we will see an explosive increase in neurodegenerative diseases occurring in adults and the elderly in unprecedented rates as well as neurodevelopmental disorders in our children. We are already seeing a dramatic increase in these neurological disorders and it is occurring in younger people more than ever before. Empirical data also confirms that Autism symptoms are related to aluminum exposure. A study from MIT concluded that children with the autism diagnosis are especially vulnerable to toxic metals such as aluminum. Another study from the University of British Columbia found that children from countries with the highest ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) prevalence appear to have the highest exposure to aluminum from vaccines. The increase in exposure to aluminum adjuvants significantly correlates with the increase in ASD prevalence in the United States observed over the last two decades. A significant correlation exists between the amounts of aluminum administered to preschool children and the current prevalence of ASD in seven Western countries, particularly at 3-4 months of age. The rate of autism among American children has nearly doubled over the past decade, according to a report released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), jumping from about one in 150 children back in 2000 to about one in 88 children in 2008. Currently, 1 in every 50 American kids has been diagnosed with autism yet the CDC pleads ignorance as to the obvious causes. The elite know very well what happens when children daily inhale particulate aluminum sprayed by planes while walking outside, playing at the park, or sitting in their air conditioned homes or classrooms. The actions of those involved with Geoengineering also demonstrate an intent to do harm. Geoengineer advocate Ken Calderia, an atmospheric scientist who works at the Carnegie Institution for Sciences Department of Global Ecology, proposes spraying chemicals in our skies to blunt the worst effects of global warming. But when confronted at a Geoengineering debate in Berkeley, he was forced to admit there has been no global warming for at least 17 years (it has leveled off) and that when he worked at a nuclear weapons lab, he discussed poisoning the sky, putting pathogens in a cloud to rain down on your enemy and do chemical and germ warfare. Obamas top science and technology advisor John P. Holdren co-authored a book, Ecoscience, in which he advocated the formation of a planetary regime that would use a global police force to enforce totalitarian measures of population control, including forced abortions, mass sterilization programs conducted via the food and water supply, as well as mandatory bodily implants that would prevent couples from having children. Holdren also proposed Geoengineering at a 2007 Goldman Sachs Conference. Perhaps Holdren sees Geoengineering as the best method to cull humans into a sustainable population. Ted Gunderson, former chief of the Los Angeles division of the FBI, demanded that Geoengineering be stopped and referred to it as death dumps genocide, poison, and murder. This element within our society that is doing this must be stopped. This is a crime against humanity. Gunderson also notes that the Geoengineering pilots are poisoning themselves and their families. According to one Chemtrail pilot, stopping Geoengineering may be our last chance to save humanity from psychopathic genocidal maniacs. As a population under physical attack from Geoengineering, we must know who is responsible for crimes against humanity and nature. David Keith is a professor at Harvard University and advocate of Geoengineering. He says that his team studied the toxic and harmful effects of Geoengineering on the population but did not publish their findings. Keiths infamous quote on the dangers of Geoengineering is: And by the way, its not really a moral hazard, its more like free-riding on our grandkids. Steve Rayner is a Professor of Science and Civilization at the University of Oxford. He is one of the Co-directors of the Oxford Geoengineering Program. Steve was previously a member of the Royal Society Working Group on Geoengineering. The Royal Society is an organization made up of renowned eco-fascists and depopulation fanatics. It released a report calling for the stabilization of global population and reductions in consumption in developed countries. In the report, renowned population alarmist and Ecoscience co-author, professor Paul Ehrlich, called for a move to population shrinkage as humanely and as rapidly as possible David Victor is a professor at Stanford University and the University of California, Sand Diego. He also directed the science and technology program at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, where he directed the Councils task force on energy and was senior adviser to the task force on climate change. The Council on Foreign Relations is in essence the not-so-secret acting government of the United States, and in the view of many researchers, a powerful global crime syndicate that controls the mainstream media. Bill Gates funded a Harvard University project, in which sun-reflecting particles were sprayed from a balloon at an altitude of 80,000 feet above Fort Sumner, New Mexico. In 2012, Gates threw his financial muscle behind manipulating the earths climate via Geoengineering Bill Gates is a radical eugenicist. In addition to sponsoring vaccine research to reduce the population, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation supports Planned Parenthood. Bill Gates father even served on the board of Planned Parenthood. In 2000, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation provided the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) $8,800,000. In its annual report, Planned Parenthood boasted that its affiliates around the nation performed 333,964 life terminating abortions during 2010-11, up from 332,278 pre-born deaths in 2009, the previous yearly record. The latest number represents an abortion performed every 94 seconds. Bill Gates and his globalist friends clearly have plans to reduce the worlds population. It must also be noted that The Bill Melinda Gates Foundation purchased 500,000 shares in Monsanto in 2010, valued at more than $23 million. This is significant because Monsanto, known as one of the worlds most unethical companies, released an aluminum-resistant seed which is genetically modified to tolerate aluminum in high levels in the soil. The primary ingredients of Chemtrails are aluminum and barium, what a coincidence! As well as Gates, other wealthy individuals including Sir Richard Branson, tar sands magnate Murray Edwards and the co-founder of Skype, Niklas Zennstrm, have funded a series of reports into future use of the Geoengineering technology. Branson, who has frequently called for Geoengineering to combat climate change, helped fund the Royal Societys inquiry into solar radiation management last year through his Carbon War Room charity. Why would anyone trust these Malthusian Geoengineers adding toxins and heavy metals to the air we breathe? Individuals who still find it hard to believe that the purpose of Geoengineering is to kill should review the history of governments conducting tests on their own populations. A 1977 Senate hearing on Health and Scientific Research confirmed that 239 populated areas had been contaminated with biological agents between 1949 and 1969, including San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Key West, Panama City, Minneapolis, and St. Louis. The U.S. government has been repeatedly caught engaging in illegal bio-weapons tests over American skies that have maimed and killed not just animals, but humans. The history of US government biological testing includes deliberately infecting Americans with syphilis, malaria and other bacteriological agents. Indeed,the EPAs own policystates that government and industry scientists can treat children as human guinea pigs in chemical experiments, which allows pesticides to be tested on mentally handicapped children and orphans. From 1944 to 1974, both the Defense Department and the Atomic Energy Commission conducted hundreds of secret experiments in San Francisco and around the country that exposed unsuspecting patients to dangerous doses of radiation, including injections of plutonium. In 2010, the US government had to issue an apology after it was revealed that 700 people in Guatemala were intentionally infected with sexually transmitted diseases in the 40s. Kathleen Sebelius and Hilary Clinton issued this joint statement: The sexually transmitted disease inoculation study conducted from 1946-1948 in Guatemala was clearly unethicalAlthough these events occurred more than 64 years ago, we are outraged that such reprehensible research could have occurred under the guise of public health. We deeply regret that it happened, and we apologize to all the individuals who were affected by such abhorrent research practices. In England, The Ministry of Defense turned large parts of the country into a giant laboratory to conduct a series of secret germ warfare tests on the public. A government report provides a comprehensive official history of Britains biological weapons trials between 1940 and 1979. Many of these tests involved releasing potentially dangerous chemicals and micro-organisms over vast swaths of the population without the public being told. Let skeptics also learn of the darker side of Americas history before dismissing the dangers of geoengeneering. The Nazis eugenic policies were modeled after those of California. Elements of the [Nazi eugenics} philosophy were enshrined as national policy by forced sterilization and segregation laws, as well as marriage restrictions, enacted in twenty-seven states. In 1909, California became the third state to adopt such laws. Ultimately, eugenics practitioners coercively sterilized some 60,000 Americans, barred the marriage of thousands, forcibly segregated thousands in colonies, and persecuted untold numbers in ways we are just learning. Before World War II, nearly half of coercive sterilizations were done in California, and even after the war, the state accounted for a third of all such surgeries. We should not overlook the fact that both Hitler and Trotsky were aided and funded by the U.S. elite power structure. Geoengineering is clearly a public nuisance. The South Coast Air Quality Management District and most other jurisdictions define nuisance as follows: A person shall not discharge from any source whatsoever such quantities of air contaminants or other material which cause injury, detriment, nuisance, or annoyance to any considerable number of persons or to the public, or which endanger the comfort, repose, health or safety of any such persons or the public, or which cause, or have a natural tendency to cause, injury or damage to business or property. As demonstrated by the studies summarized earlier, spraying aluminum, barium, and other toxins onto the public without any disclosure causes injury, detriment, nuisance, and annoyance to the public, and endanger the comfort, repose, health and safety of the public. According to the so-called elite, as they drive technological progress towards the singularity man merging with machine (transhumanism) the majority of humans will cease to have a purpose or even be able to function in a brave new world run by a scientific dictatorship, which is why the ruling classes have formally reached the decision to begin a ruthless program of extermination. As Sun Microsystems Bill Joy explained in an April 2000 Wired Magazine piece entitled Why the Future Doesnt Need Us, the elite sees the mass of humanity as expendable. In the coming decades, all the functions performed by what can loosely be termed the lower classes will be carried out by robots. Joy writes: Due to improved techniques the elite will have greater control over the masses; and because human work will no longer be necessary the masses will be superfluous, a useless burden on the system. If the elite is ruthless they may simply decide to exterminate the mass of humanity. If they are humane they may use propaganda or other psychological or biological techniques to reduce the birth rate until the mass of humanity becomes extinct, leaving the world to the elite. Geoengineering appears to be one to the elites primary methods culling the human herd. In addition to humans, the natural world dies around us due to chemtrail fallout because soil and fresh water sources are also being contaminated with aluminum and barium. Chemtrails are prevalent at Mount Shasta, California, where aluminum in pond water tested 24,000 times normal and snowdrift at 8,000 feet tested 122,200 times normal. Soil around a house (exposed to the air) in Northern California contained 3,000 times more aluminum than soil tested from under the house (not exposed to the air. Companies like Monsanto are engaged in planetary engineering, which includes bioremediation measures to bring us patented genetically engineered trees and crops, such as GMO corn, soy, and sugar beets that are in 90% of processed foods and strongly linked to numerous diseases including cancer. As discussed earlier, Monsanto has already developed an aluminum resistance gene for profit. And what of humans themselves? How are we being transformed from the inside out by the synthetic biology that is being sprayed in Chemtrails in addition to the heavy metals? To understand how Geoengineering is related to synthetic biology and transhumanism, please watch From Chemtrails to Pseudo-Life. The Dark Agenda of Synthetic Biology. Another deadly purpose of Geoengineering is weather modification for weaponization. In his book, Between Two Ages, Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote: As one specialist noted, By the year 2018, technology will make available to the leaders of the major nations, a variety of techniques for conducting secret warfare, of which only a bare minimum of the security forces need be appraised. One nation may attack a competitor covertly by bacteriological means, thoroughly weakening the population (though with a minimum of fatalities) before taking over with its own armed forces. Alternatively, techniques of weather modification could be employed to produce prolonged periods of drought or storm (Gordon J. F. MacDonald, Space, in Toward the year 2018, p.34). Ben Livingston, a former Navy Physicist known as the Father of Weaponized Weather, stated that he seeded clouds and dramatically increased rainfall in his theater of war, creating impassably muddy roads, which slowed down the Vietnamese and Korean troops during those wars. Livingston briefed President Lyndon B. Johnson on the effectiveness of weather control during the 1960s and says that technology to control weather was fully operational at the time. In 1996, the Air Force published Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather by 2025, which is yet another official document indicating that Geoengineering is a military weapon of war. In his book, Weather Warfare, Jerry Smith notes that in the same amount of time we went from the Wright Brothers to Neil Armstrong, hundreds of environmental and weather modifying technologies have been patented in the US alone and hundreds more are being developed in civilian, academic, military and quasi-military laboratories around the world at this moment. U.S. Naval Research Laboratory research physicists and engineers from the Plasma Physics Division, working at the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP related to Geoengineering) transmitter facility, Gakona, Alaska, successfully produced a sustained high density plasma cloud in Earths upper atmosphere. Clearly Geoengineering is tied to weather manipulation, which can be used for purpose of covert warson unsuspecting populations like our own. The true purpose of Geoengineering is death despite the hollow claims of Geoengineers that it is necessary to mitigate the negative effects of man-made global warming. The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and numerous other national and international panels of scientists have extensively studied ways to mitigate alleged global warming through schemes called geo-engineering. Edward Teller, father of the hydrogen bomb and Associate Director of LLNL, proposed injecting aluminum and barium dust particles high into the atmosphere to increase the amount of solar energy being reflected out into space as a way to offset the heating by greenhouse gases. Many scientific boards and committees have looked into this proposal and found it technologically feasible, but recognized that the legal and environmental hurdles would be too high to overcome to implement such a projectif done openly, so some proposed doing it covertly without informed public consent. Likewise, the Carnegie Institution for Science proposed to spray aerosol particles into the upper atmosphere to block out the sun and tackle global warming, noting the process would turn sunny blue skies into a hazy white (Chemtrails). In reality, the concept of man-made global warming was admittedly created by the Club of Rome, founded in 1968 by global elite kingpin David Rockefeller. Prominent members of the Club of Rome include Al Gore and Maurice Strong, both of whom are intimately involved with privately-owned carbon trading groups like the Chicago Climate Exchange, whose multi-million dollar profits are solely reliant on protecting the credibility of the man-made global warming thesis from skeptics who have challenged its legitimacy in light of scientific evidence and the Climategate scandal. On page 75 of their 1990 publication entitled The First Global Revolution, the Club of Rome outlined how they would manufacture ecological scares in order to manipulate the public into accepting the imposition of a dictatorial world government run by them. In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill All these dangers are caused by human intervention The real enemy, then, is humanity itself, states the report, which can be read in full at the end of this article. The passage appears under a subheadline entitled, The common enemy of humanity is Man. At the Global Warming Petition Project, 31,487 American scientists, including 9,029 with PhDs, signed a petition stating: There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earths atmosphere and disruption of the Earths climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth. Additionally, more than 1,000 dissenting scientists from around the globe have now challenged man-made global warming claims made by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and former Vice President Al Gore. The ClimateGate scandal revealed how top scientists conspired to falsify data in the face of declining global temperatures in order to prop up the premise that man-made factors are driving climate change. The hacked documents and emails illustrated how prominent climatologists, affiliated with the UNs International Panel on Climate Change, embarked on a coordinated campaign to ostracize climate skeptics and use their influence to keep dissenting reports from appearing in peer-reviewed journals, as well as using cronyism to avoid compliance with Freedom of Information Act requests. Many recent studies also demonstrate that man-made global warming is nothing to fear compared to the toxic health effects of Geoengineering. A study of tree-rings concluded that the climate was warmer in Roman and Medieval times than it is now, and the world has been cooling for 2,000 years. Another report found that the world stopped getting warmer almost 16 years ago. The figures reveal that from the beginning of 1997 until August 2012, there was no discernible rise in aggregate global temperatures. This means that the plateau or pause in global warming has now lasted for about the same time as the previous period when temperatures rose, 1980 to 1996. Before that, temperatures had been stable or declining for about 40 years. The evidence demonstrates that the argument for using Geoengineering to combat global warming is an obvious bad-faith fraud, with The Mail running the headline: The Great Green Con no. 1: The hard proof that finally shows global warming forecasts that are costing you billions were WRONG all along. NASA has also reversed its position that supported the now debunked man-made global warming theory. History provides a similar hoax justification for poisoning the population. In Britain from 1940 1979, the government told citizens that they were conducting tests to study the weather and pollution when in fact they were conducting germ warfare testing on millions of unwitting citizens. Lastly, Geoengineering is clearly not the answer to nonexistent man-made global warming as there is evidence that Geoengineering traps heat rather than cooling the earth. If the purpose of Geoengineering is not to inflict death and bodily injury, what is the justification and why the secrecy and cover-up? The only national governments to admit to Chemtrails are Germany and Sweden. Why does the U.S. government deny the obvious if its intentions are benevolent? Why deny what is seen by millions of Americans each day? Why deny what has been photographed, filmed, and documented millions of times? Citizens, like those of Mount Shasta, have had no luck getting answers from politicians and government officials regarding Geoengineering. This writer personally emailed five (5) members of the South Coast Air Quality Management Districts Governing Board, simply asking them for information and their thoughts on Geoengineering. This writer did not receive one response, or even a confirmation that my email was received. Could local air quality board members be aware that the true purpose of Geoengineering is death by toxic fallout? Why wont they protect their own families? Unlike refusing to working in coal mines, bakeries, and not smoking, one cannot avoid Chemtrails. However, there are simple actions that you can take to preserve your health. When Geoengineering is happening (in Southern California it seems like it may never stop), you should avoid spending long periods of time outside and keep your homes windows closed. Using room fans and heaters rather than central heating units can also help keep the chemtrail toxins out of your home. The same applies at work, but you may also need to block AC vents above you. Drink enough water to stay fully hydrated so that the toxins are removed through sweat and urine. Do not drink water excessively or your body will lose needed minerals. Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Dr. Ed Group, and others have metal detox programs. Eating a diet rich in organic greens is also essential. By far the best way to protect your health from Geoengineering is by taking action to impose a peoples injunction on the criminal activity, before holding trials for crimes against humanity. Despite the fact that we have been programed to accept Geoengineering through subliminal and overt propaganda, watching humanity, society, and nature destroyed by Geoengineering while the government denies that it exists can be very challenging on ones mind. It is not easy watching Chemtrail planes when you know they are spraying you and your family with poison on behalf of elites desiring population reduction. While one may suffer temporary severe disappointment when learning of the issue, there is no reason to become cowardly, depressed, or to rely on pharmaceuticals to cheer you up while death abides around us. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT YOUR LIFE HAS MEANING. The meaning of your life is to love your friends, family, and nature enough to take action towards exposing and stopping Chemtrails. Geoengineering is clearly one of the worst crimes in history, where people and nature are slowly murdered in plain view. It is up to you to stop it! You are the hero that the world and humanity needs right now! So choose who you serve. Do you serve God or Satan? If you are an atheist, do you serve the values of truth, love, and justice; or do you serve murder, death, and inequity? Because Geoengineering is already ongoing and the effects are known; staying neutral and not taking action is to serve death and in essence become an accomplice. To stop Geoengineering, we should learn from the man that exposed and stopped much segregation in the South, Martin Luther King, Jr. King was a master of bringing people of conscience together in order to end injustice. Today, humanity must form a united front and join together to stop death by Chemtrails. Educating others is the foundation of change. This means distributing flyers, speaking to your city council members, confronting air quality district board members, filing complaints, and filing public information and freedom of information requests.Lawsuits must be filed against the Air Force, EPA, Department of Health and Human Services, air quality management districts, and any private contractor or local government that is known to be Geoengineering. We must continuously email local, state, and national politicians, and stage public demonstrations to increase awareness. The new Skyderalert phone application may be helpful with this process. Once ten percent (10%) or more of the public is educated on Geoengineering, organized local and national campaigns will be needed to create tension in order to bring the issue to the publics attention. From there, resolution will be possible stopping all Geoengineering. There are many examples of this process. One is Monsantos genetically modified crops being banned from much of Europe because millions of people marched to create tension and awareness. Sheila Hemphill defeated smart meters in Brady, Texas. Adam Bonner, a farmer, defeated government CCTV cameras in Australia. Tony Rooke defeated a TV license fee and exposed corruption at the BBC. Michael Allison, the 41-year old Illinois mechanic who faced life in jail for video recording police officers, has had all charges against him dropped after a state judge ruled that his First Amendment rights had been violated, following a trend of similar rulings across the country that underscore the fact that it is not illegal to film police. Now it is our turn to defeat Geoengineering and stop Chemtrails. The evidence demonstrates that the primary purpose of the public nuisance of Geoengineering is to cause bodily injury and premature death with malice aforethought. The Geoengineers are well aware of the consequences of spraying tiny particles aluminum, barium, and other dangerous toxins into the atmosphere. Our mission is to stop them and it will be accomplished if we take continuous action to inform others. Paul Adams is a follower of Jesus Christ and Martin Luther King, Jr. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather expose them. Ephesians 5:11 paragraph 9, *public, not pubic Simple, they want to breathe it themselves, as they are transhumanists as mentioned in the article and chemtrails is also about transhumanism as it contains the morgellons nanobot. This nanobot has installed the BioAPI implant in all of us and converted all of us into cyborgs subject to control of their computer without most even knowing about it (http://www.dataasylum.com/index.html). thanks for keeping the topic alive. Most folks cant wrap their minds around just how heinous this operation is. Denial works well for the masses. It is working. People are either dumber than a bag of hammers or completely apathetic. 95% percent of the population falls in one or the other category. 500,000,000 will be attainable for the scum elite. Most have exchanged their brain for the TV. Thats why they are so buck tooth stoopid Where is the EPA who is supposed to be so concerned about the planet? Where is the animal rights groups who are suppose to help save helpless creatures? Funny how thy never scream about the insanity of the Government. We are nothing. We are fodder. We have no rights. We have no power. We have no say. Resistance is futile. Before the mid-90s, commercial airlines used to fly at an altitude of 60,000 feet. When the chemtrail program really took off in the late 90s, commercial planes mostly began flying overseas at 48,000 feet. I have been surprised over the years that critics failed to mention this. Now we see sprayers flying at those altitudes after the FFA lowered flight altitudes. I remember flying so high oucould see space and stars above you and the curvature of the earth below you. I guess lowering the flight altitude served more than one purpose (of poisoning us). It also helps them promote their most recent lie and distraction of the mideival regurgitated flat earth nonsense. Theyre spewing this vomitous crap all over YouTube. The devil doesnt want to let go of any of his ridiculous lies. Yet somehow they will not allow me to drive my car unless it passes smog check every two years. Yes, Satans minions are the ultimate hypocrites. I guess that explains why the sky is rarely blue anymore. If you dont want to come back to this waste dump after you die, dont go to the light. Its one big recycle bin. Reincarnation. I for one will never return. I feel sorry for all the babies being bornthey will suffer horribly. This is what Satans mindless minions do: kill, steal and destroy for their OWN personal benefit. They are such stupid neanderthals that they either dont realize or dont care that they are DESTROYING themselves in the process, just for a little ill gotten immediate gain. AMEN! Cant wait for His coming vengeance on these evil serpent seeds!! ; ) I agree with this and particularly the comment about religion being a form of control. This is true. Religion is man made and man centered. TRUTH, however, is not religious nor is the Bible when one puts aside all brainwashing and preconceived notions. humbles oneself and asks for Divine Guidance in understanding the SPIRITUAL meaning of what is otherwise nonsense to the fleshly minded person. The Bible is 100 % Truth that has been twisted by evil and ignorant humans. Just because religion is false and a part of the control matrix does not make the Bible (the Word of God) any less true. Everything that is written is coming true at an alarming rate and only the willfully ignorant can deny this fact. Yeah the Quackwatch need to WATCH THEMSELVES because THEY are the Quacks! LOL Because everyone is looking DOWN at their smart phones.. 100% TRUTH! You have a chembuster dude please share a link or a blue print or something would love to know what you are referring to, anything helps 
2	CVS May Be Shut Down After They Posted THIS On Their Sign Recently, an Indiana shopping centers video billboard ran pictures of President Obama with an Adolf Hitler mustache, accompanied by a message reading Impeach Obama. The images also demanded the restoration of the Glass Steagall legislation, and were part of a rotating sequence that could be seen at the Cornerstone Plaza in Kendallville, Indiana. According to reports, the images and messaging was sponsored by American political activist Lydon Larouches Political Action Committee. They were not affiliated with the businesses in Cornerstone Plaza where the sign was located. Still, some have claimed that the sign was inappropriate, and it has since been removed. Others feel that the sign was a relatively honest representation. What do you think? Should we impeach Obama? 
2	BREAKING: Isis Hangs And Beheads Soldiers In Message To America [GRAPHIC] Yet another message to the United States has been sent loud and clear from ISIS in the form of yet another violent video. And just two minutes into the video, one terrorist takes extremely violent actions towards another innocent soldier. It is not secret that this video is intended to be a message to the United States about how ISIS intends treats American hostagesand a threat that they can get more. What do you think? Does ISIS need to be stopped immediately? 
2	Squad Of Marines Are Taking Extreme Measures In Order To Free Jailed Marine According to recent reports, two elderly Marine Corp veterans have taken it upon themselves to get a message to President Obama about the action he needs to be taking regarding Marine Andrew Tahmooressi. They are so determine to talk to the president, in fact, that they have decided to walk 300 miles from Virginia to the White House. Tahmooressi has been jailed in Mexico for coming up on 6 months now. He was arrested at a border checkpoint after accidentally making a wrong turn into Mexico with three loaded weapons in his car. He was arrested on the spot. Ever since his arrest, Americans have been pleading with the administration to take action to bring the Marine home. Now, Lance Cpl. Terry Sharpe and Allen Brown have decided to walk to the White House to hear their pleas verbally. They want Obama to make the call to bring Tahmooressi home. They also want the story to be brought back into the media. The pair is currently about 100 miles from the White House. They will be arriving sometime next week. 
2	Patriotic Pastor To Terrorists: We Dont Yield To Fear After receiving several bomb threats on both of its campuses, Denton Bible Church, located just outside of Dallas, decided to take action. Tom Nelson, Denton Bible Churchs lead pastor, determined that the situation was the perfect opportunity to address terrorist threats head on. Youve probably heard by this time if you watch the news that we have had our first genuine bomb threat, Nelson told the public. It came in the mail Monday afternoon from a genuine super villain. Wouldnt you know, it came 24 hours after I had boasted of our fair citys apathy versus Dallass tirades, he continued. We still must take all threats serious and we shall, Nelson claimed. We shall have Christmas Eve as always but you will notice more folks at the entrances with more eyes. We dont yield to fear, he concluded in an emphatic declaration. We are Christians. What do you think? Is this the type of leadership we need more of in America? 
2	One State Is Now Requiring Welfare Recipients To Pass A Drug Test Recently, the Senate in Mississippi decided to put a bill in place requiring those on Welfare to pass a drug test before obtaining benefits from the state. According to reports, Mississippi would test those who have been identified as likely drug addicts. The bill is a result of massive increases in welfare spending, and infamous fraud by welfare recipients. According to reports, Mississippi also claims that the increase in welfare spending by the Obama administration is another reason for passing the bill. Welfare recipients with a history of drug abuse are historically more likely to abuse the system, according to state records. The prevalence of abuse has made it necessary for Mississippi to monitor drug use, in order to protect the taxpayer dollars being used to finance programs. Florida and Alabama are also currently in the process of putting systems in place to deter welfare abuse. Floridas bill is similar to the one that just passed in Mississippi, while Alabamas bill strives to ensure that welfare recipients are employed before receiving benefits. What do you think? Is Mississippi finally doing what other states should have done a long time ago? 
2	BREAKING: The Ballots Are In, And Results Are Showing... Hillary Clinton was very confident this week when controversial footage of Donald Trump making lewd comments about women surfaced. That confidence probably went out the window on Sunday night, when Trump beat her in the second presidential debate. With the first post-debate polls coming in, were sure the Clinton campaign has gone into panic mode. The Rasmussen poll uses a three-day voting average, meaning that it is intended to gauge the initial reaction of voters and its evolution. Clinton holds a major lead among women and young voters, while Trump has a large lead among men and older voters. Trump also has an advantage among Independent voters. Trump has also made major leaps among minority voters, and particularly in the black community. What do you think? Does Trump have a real chance of taking the presidency? 
3	Why The War on Drugs Is a Huge FailureBy In a Nutshell ..The war against drugs has been a terrible disaster for everybody involved. Nonsense ! The gold collar scum crowd wants to keep the money flowing to fund their debauchery life styles. This is how they keep the little guy out. In a free society, there could never be a war on drugs. A government would never be allowed to regulated the personal conduct of the people. But alas, we were enslaved several generations ago. Damn straight! Im in agreement with crocodile below. The writers view is indicative of how the people have become so distracted and confused they no longer see the forest for the trees Its the same with the war on poverty, terror. How many billions have we wasted with searches at the airport that have produced squat. I wondered why a video on the war on drugs could not mention that the major suppliers of drugs are the USA in the forms of the CIA (finances black ops) and other alphabet organizations. Then I realized this video was made by the major George Soros organization Open Society. This makes me disappointed in selfnews Post. It is hard for me to believe that people that check this spot are unaware of who grows, transports and sells the drugs all over the world. Drugs will soon be replaced with human trafficking a trade that is gaining importance even as I write this when all people can be put on prescription pharmaceuticals (very far along on that objective) I couldnt disagree more. The real shame is that the War on Drugs has been an immense success with its goals: creating a terrifically profitable enterprise for the Military/Industrial/Prison-for-Profit/Judicial juggernaut. How embarrassingly stupid of us to allow this to happen on the public dime of societal control. How can anyone claim its a failure? It has accomplished everything it was created to do and them some. In the May-June 1995 issue of The Utne Reader magazine, former DEA Chief for New York Michael Levine wrote an excellent article deploring the War On Drugs. He wrote about the legions of belly-crawlers in Government employ, a reference to the Governments use of confidential informants (that term does not adequately represent the scope of criminal activity which these extra-judicial lying scumj assets engage in). Im approaching my 6th birthday and have seen how this horrible War On Drugs has played out over peoples lifetimes. Crimes were committed which never would have been committed apart from this insane and criminal Government program. Murders were committed, lives ruined due to entrapments and persistent behaviour of scumbags who couldnt take responsibility for their own crimes, so they took the Governments offer to destroy other lives in order to stay out of prison. There never has been a war on drugs. The collateral damage fills prisons, cemeteries and battlefields, across the world. 
1	Calling it devastating, tragic, complex, heartrending, heartwarming, catastrophic, courageous, and shameful, sources confirmed Sunday that massive wildfires, geopolitical crises, AIDS, human rights violations, deadly shootings, Africa, tourists taken hostage, ethical and moral issues, child labor, and drug wars. While the Catholic Church, nuclear weapons, deadly Ebola outbreak, failing U.S. schools, the homeless, North Korea, and the resignation of high-level officials, reports indicate widespread corruption, a major environmental disaster, the crumbling housing market, blizzards, Indonesia's rapidly growing economy, fraud, and the plight of the elderly. Famine, sources later confirmed. 'We are in the midst of an unprecedented crisis,' an extremely high-ranking figure said in an exclusive interview, adding that tensions remain high while patience is running low. 'I'm afraid the worst has yet to come. The aftermath could be even more devastating.' According to those with inside knowledge of the situation, mine safety, unclean drinking water, gun laws, global warming, the role social media played, citywide blackout, the pharmaceutical companies, the insurance companies, the oil companies, a South Carolina neurosurgeon, a recovering drug addict from Baltimore who fights every day to keep her family alive, how one former steel town is struggling to adapt, and the psychological trauma suffered by soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. In addition, the incalculable human toll, indescribable loss, utter ruin, candlelight vigils, Category 5 hurricane, magnitude-8.9 earthquake, F5 tornado, 140 mph winds, and the long-term effects on the local economy for the next 10, 20, and 100 years. 'This is something the world needs to know about,' said a key player in the still-unfolding story who spoke on the condition of anonymity, adding that he specifically contacted this newspaper after reading what he called 'years and years of in-depth, compelling, poignant, authoritative, swift, rigorous, comprehensive, and responsible journalism. So many others turn a blind eye, and it takes a brave reporter to shine a light on what is, in the end, a gravely serious problem.' 'It's times like these that I'm so thankful for a news organization that speaks truth to power and takes its responsibility as a gatekeeper seriously,' he added. Those directly affected expressed anger, resignation, distress, rage, sickness, confusion, eerie calm, and frustration. However, a pervading sentiment that all is lost, that all is not lost, that rebuilding will take time, and that certain realities will have to be faced persists. 'The situation is terrible,' said a visibly distraught person whose comments were echoed by millions of other visibly distraught people who speak languages ranging from English to Punjabi.

3	Obamacare = A Death Panel For The U.S. EconomyMichael Snyder Taking advantage of the stupidity of the American voter, the Democrats succeeded in ramming through one of the worst pieces of legislation that has ever come before Congress. The full implementation of Obamacare has been repeatedly delayed, but now we are finally starting to see the true horror of this terrible law. Thanks to Obamacare, millions of American families are losing health plans that they were very happy with, health insurance rates are skyrocketing, millions of workers are having their full-time hours cut back to part-time hours, rural hospitals all over the countryare dying, and thousands of doctors are being driven out of the industry thus intensifyingthe greatest doctor shortage in U.S. history. Obamacare is a slow-motion train wreck of epic proportions, and the full effect of this law is only beginning to be felt. In the end, the economic impact of this law will likely be measured in the trillions of dollars. One of the primary reasons why Democrats experienced so much pain during the recent elections was because millions of Americans are receiving some very disturbing letters from their health insurance providers. At a time when U.S. incomes are stagnating, health insurance rates are rising to absolutely ridiculous levels. As the New York Times recently reported, even the Obama administration is admitting that substantial price increases are on the way Originally, Barack Obama promised that if we liked our current health plans that we could keep them. Well, it turns out that was not true at all. Instead, the vast majority of us will eventually have to move to new plans if we have not done so already. This is particularly true for those that purchase health insurance individually. The following is an excerpt from anNBC News investigation This is something that actually happened to me. I received a letter in the mail informing me that my new health insurance policy which meets the requirements of Obamacare will cost me nearly twice as much as my old one. Needless to say, I was not too thrilled about that. Other Americans are being hit even harder. For instance, one family down in Texas got hammered witha 539 percent rate increase These rate increases are coming at a time when the middle class in the U.S. is already steadily shrinking. A lot of families that are already stretched to the breaking point are making the very painful decision to give up health insurance entirely. At this point, there are millions of families that simply cannot afford it. But Obama is not about to let those people off the hook. In fact,huge tax penalties are on the way for those that do not participate in the new system No wonder so many people are so angry with the Democrats. And as Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Jonathan Gruber has so infamously observed, Obamacare never would have become law if the American people had been told the truth about what it would do to them. It has been documented that Gruber has visited the White House about a dozen times since 2009, and he has been one of the leading intellectual proponents of Obamacare. A video in which he states that the stupidity of the American voter was really critical to the passage of Obamacare has gone viral over the past week. I have posted a copy of this video below What he is essentially saying is that the Democrats purposely deceived the American people because it was the only way that Obamacare was going to become law. And this is a man that has become very wealthy advising government on healthcare matters. According to an article inthe Washington Post, he has made millions of dollars from consulting in recent years If you are Gruber, life is quite good. But for most of the rest of America, the economic pain continues. For example, one recent study foundthat almost half of all Floridians cannot even afford to pay for basic necessities If all those people cannot even afford the basics, how are they going to pay for Obamacare? This law is going to financially cripple millions of American families. It truly is a death panel for the U.S. economy. And because Barack Obama can veto anything that the Republicans in Congress do, we are stuck with it for at least another two years (and probably longer). So what about you? Have your health insurance premiums gone up yet? Please feel free to add to the discussion by posting a comment below This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

2	Muslim Woman Deeply Offended After Officers Forced Her To Do THIS... According to recent reports, Malak Kazan, a 27-year-old woman has just filed a federal lawsuit against the police department of Dearborn heights, Michigan, claiming discrimination. Kazan was recently arrested and detained last July due to an expired drivers license. When she was taken into the station, several male officers demanded that she remove her hijab so that her mug shot could be taken. Kazan had worn her hijab for more than 12 years, and was reportedly very embarrassed to be asked to remove it. She told Arab selfnews that my religion says that I cant take it off. Its not just a religious issue; this is a part of me. Its my culture, my life and my identity. Still, Dearborn Heights Police Chief Lee Garvin is standing behind the departments actions, telling Fox News that articles such as hats, caps, hijabs, can contain concealable items that could pose a threat or chance of injury to the cops or to themselves. Kazan is now suing for punitive and compensatory damages, in addition to demanding that the station change its policy regarding head scarves. To be exposed in front of men who arent part of her immediate family is a serious breach of faith and practice, claims Amir Makled, Kazans lawyer. She has a sincere belief in her religion and to be demanded to remove her scarf is a clear violation. She felt extremely humiliated. What do you think? Was the station within its rights to demand that Kazan move her hijab? 
3	The Agenda 21 Enslavement of ColoradoDave Hodges The Koch Brothers Spearhead the Agenda 21 Takeover of Colorado The Koch brothers have accomplished nothing. The brothers inherited their immense wealth from their father, Soviet oilman Fred Koch. Yet, these entitled Koch brothers feel that should have the right to dictate to everyone else how they should live. Stalin actually brought in Fred Koch in order to develop the Soviet Unions oil industry and now the sins of the father are being visited upon Freds sons as they are bringing a virulent form of communism to Colorado. Koch Industries is the second largest corporation in the United States and, true to form, they have no scruples. The Koch brothers are so corrupt that have been caught stealing oil from protected Indian lands. This should be a hint to the people of Colorado as to what lies in their immediate future. The Koch brothers espouse the Agenda 21 belief that you do not control your wealth, land, food, water and air; the state does on behalf of the corporations that they serve. For example, the Koch brothers are attacking social security. They have spent $29 million dollars to put forth the propaganda that social security is broke. It is only broke because Congress keeps raiding the funds. The Koch brothers want the retirement age to go to 70 years of age. They want to get their greedy hands on social security so that can invest the funds on Wall Street, thus risking everyones social security retirement funds. The Rocky Mountain Climate Organization (RMCO) launched the Colorado Climate Project, to bring Coloradans together to reduce the states contribution and vulnerability to a changed climate. In the process of enforcing their Agenda 21 inspired policies, Colorados farmers and ranchers are under attack. Click here to read the Projects mission statement. The project followed the model established by several state governments, including those in Arizona, New Mexico, and Montana, but was the first such project undertaken as a private initiative. Clickhere to learn more about the process the Project followed, including the role of the Climate Action Panel. Project Directors RMCOs project directors appointed the members of the Climate Action Panel, received its final report, and serve as key public spokespersons about the Colorado Climate Project and its recommendations. The project directors are: Project Sponsors The principal sponsors of the Agenda 21 takeover of Colorado includes the Denver Water Board, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Pat Stryker, the City of Aspen, BP America, the Koch brothers and the Rockefeller Family Fund. Because of the Colorado Climate Change and their unwarranted influence, Colorado farmers are losing more and more of their farmland. The State Legislature and the Colorado Supreme Court are forcing Colorado farmers to forsake the use of well water in the irrigation of their crops during a period of prolonged drought. They have ordered the shutdown of 440 wells. Colorado farm land is drying up, crop yield is down and many farmers are facing ruination. This is classic Agenda 21 in which the only ones who should be able to farm in rural areas are the large corporate farms and the government. Under this group it is illegal to trap rain water, reuse irrigation water and 50% of all farmland cannot be tilled under their proposals. We are talking about the complete destruction of Colorado farming and the absolute installment of Agenda 21 policies in the state. Colorado Gun Confiscation Colorado is also the site of some of the most contentious gun control legislation in the country. These same forces are going after the guns of Colorado residents. Two state legislators have already been recalled and removed from office for supporting the anti-Second Amendment forces of these Agenda 21 groups. Senator Evie Hudak has been one of the principals trying to ban guns in Colorado. Subsequently there have been efforts to recall this third anti-gun politician. Rather than face a recall election, Hudak abruptly resigned. Hudak is a piece of work. She is despised by Second Amendment supporters for having callously dismissed the testimony of a rape survivor during a legislative hearing in an extreme example of depraved indifference. In an effort to get Hudak recalled, Colorado activists have experienced extreme harassment, even stalking, with the tacit approval of local law enforcement, selfnews, Mike McAlpine, who headed up the Hudak recall effort, stated that We have multiple cars monitoring us at our offices and filming us from the parking lot. McAlpine went on to say that This is not a one-off event. We hold sign-and-drive events on the sidewalks near to busy intersections, and we hold signs inviting people to pull over and sign the petition. Our opponents have taken to blocking us: as cars pull in, they run up to the drivers side door and physically stand next to the door so that the person inside cannot open the door and come outside. McAlpine further stated that opponents have formed human chains in order to block anyone who wants to sign. They yell at the person while theyre at the table trying to sign, or blow an airhorn in their ear. There have been a half-dozen examples of that. In addition, when we go out to knock on doors and present the petition, they will follow us down the sidewalk and scream and yell. This is where this gets very interesting. The Climate Change Project is involved and they are using their thug contacts, which helped to propel Obama into the White house. These radical leftist groups have poured a lot of money into the state. Legal filings reveal that the Democracy Defense Fund, which opposed the recall, received $25,000 from the National Education Association, $10,000 from SEIU, and $5,000 from the Colorado AFL-CIO. Records show that, by yesterday, Democracy Defense Fund had received $120,000. Colorado Law Enforcement Runs Interference for the Agenda 21 Forces Invading Colorado McAlpine states that local law enforcement refuses to respond to the allegations of harassment , intimidation and stalking. He further states that Our City Hall and the Department of Motor Vehicles, both of which are public institutions. The police have escorted our people off of those locations with the explicit reason that they would arrest us if we came back because we were asking government employees for signatures, and that is illegal. Yet, other groups are permitted to circulated petitions in the same proximity. What we have here is a case of the police protecting the illegal harassment activities of the anti-gun forces in Colorado. Meanwhile, McAlpine states that We stay 100 feet from the entrance to be approximately safe, nonetheless, the city has deployed the police to escort us off the premises with the direct threat that they will arrest us next time. Conclusion The Agenda 21 forces are ruining farm land, lessening crop production, denying lawful access to water and breaking the law in opposing the pro Second Amendment supporters and their legitimate political activities. Colorado is a beta test for the rest of the nations. If the Koch brothers and their Agenda 21 allies get their way in Colorado, they will undoubtedly unleash this tyranny across the country.

3	Pesticide-Superweed Treadmill Hot Topic at Chemists ConventionRady Ananda Currently, 218 different plant species are herbicide resistant, two dozenspecifically resistant to glyphosate, the killing agent in Monsantos Roundup, Bayers Garden, Syngentas Touchdown, and in Dows Durango. Its used ubiquitously on lawns, gardens and farmland. Superweeds infestover 14 million acres in the US. Though superweeds have been a growing problem for several decades (with the advent of chemical farming), the transition to genetically modified crops and the requisite reliance on glyphosate has turbocharged the problem. Chemist Harry Strek of Bayer CropScience explains: Young must have missed those classes explaining how bio-resistance works. Repeated use of the same class of pesticides to control a pest (whether weed or insect) can lead to artificial selection for pesticide resistance in the gene pool. Those whose genes allow them to survive the pesticide reproduce. Its simple and undeniable. You wouldnt have herbicide resistant superweeds without herbicides. Citing a recent study out of the University of Washington, filmmaker Zofia Hausman told me, Herbicides do in fact create herbicide resistant weeds! In the final stages of production, the documentary, The Agtivists, should be released Spring 2014. U. of Wash. researcher Charles Benbrook measured pesticide use since the advent of GM crops, finding: Benbrook warns, however, that insect resistance is now climbing, which will spur farmers to use more insecticide. Plant pathologist Dan Kittle, also speaking at the ACS symposium, lauds GM crops that are lower in saturated fats, the bad fats linked to heart disease, and high in the healthier monounsaturated fats. But at what cost? Glyphosate has been linked to harm in mammals, insects, annelids, fungi and other soil biota. Its associated with emerging soil pathogens that have been linked with spontaneous abortion in livestock and depressed immune function in frogs, bats and snakes. Its also killing our bees and butterflies, probably the most serious threat facing humanitys food security. Nearly 200 million pounds of glyphosate were sprayed on US soils in 2007, reports Stephanie Seneff, a Senior Research Scientist at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. Her research focuses on the intersection of biology and statistics. Working with other scientists, she believes the spike in US autism can be tied to glyphosate use. In an interview with author Catherine Frompovich discussing her new study, Seneff explained how she and environmental toxin expert, Anthony Samsel, show how: Commenting on both studies, Hausman urges, We cannot continue to turn a blind eye to the assertion by the chemical industry that glyphosate is minimally toxic and reduces herbicide usage when new evidence to the contrary is coming to light. It is vital that restrictions are put in place now if we are to heal and repair the damage caused by the overuse of pesticides on the delicate and perfectly designed system of our top soil. While the chemical industry offers chemical solutions for superweeds, the most effective and least ecocidal ones may be mechanical. A weed ecologist with the University of Nebraska has suggested weed-smart field robots to dispose of them. Steve Young is confident that more herbicide will lead to stronger resistance and more chemical runoff. But with his robots: Permaculturists like Sepp Holzer do without chemicals in their farming operations. (Review here.) Instead, entire self-sustaining ecosystems are built while considering water, wind, sun, soil, wildlife and terrain, as well as climate and nearby pollution sources. Companion plants, cover crops, terrain slope and wildlife serve as natural pesticides. Albert Einstein would likely point to agroecology if responding to the problem of herbicide-resistant weeds: We cant solve problems by using the same kind of thinking that created them.

1	While attending Thursday nights matchup between the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park, local man Peter Lancaster, 52, reportedly ended up watching a total of five innings of the game on television monitors set up at the stadiums concession stand. After leaving his seat to purchase a beer and a hot dog halfway through the first inning, sources confirmed that Lancaster spent the next several innings staring upward to watch the game on an assortment of mounted 19-inch monitors while slowly progressing through the winding concession lines. According to reports, Lancaster viewed the game without audio throughout this period, with the roar of the stadium crowd cueing him into an imminent big play due to the monitors two-second broadcast delay. Sources also confirmed that during a later trip to the same concession stand in the 7th inning, having bought an additional beer and a helmet sundae, Lancaster stood in the stadium corridor watching multiple at-bats on the television before finally rejoining his friends at their seats for the remainder of the game. 
3	Childrens ADHD Prescriptions Increase Nine-fold, Ages Three and UpHeather Callaghan Recently, child psychologists gathered at a summit in Manchester to discuss the rising medicalization of childhood. Ritalin methylphenidate hydrochloride is considered safe by allopathic standards and time-tested, but is a serious drug with the ability to cause nausea, mood swings, fatigue, insomnia, loss of appetite, heart problems and heart attacks and is linked to suicide. It is considered comparably safe to hardcore self-medicating like alcohol (think: quick dopamine shot), cocaine, and Speed. But for kids?? Three-year-olds?? The education and child psychology department of the British Psychological Society pointed out a nine-fold increase ADHD prescriptions for children. According to the NHS, in 1997, there were around 92,000 prescriptions. Compare that to nearly 800,000 prescriptions last year! This is only in the UK the U.S. is a different story.Over here,salesof ADHD stimulants more than doubled between 2007 and 2012, from $4 billion to $9 billion.Englands and Wales own guidelines recommend a comprehensive program to help struggling children such as counseling and educational tools, among others. Vivian Hill, chairperson of the BPS, finds that a comprehensive program does not always come into play. She estimated that hundreds of children under age six are given ADHD drugs, and that the drugs are of no use absent other support. A study last year by the Association of Educational Psychologists backed Hills claim. The study found that more than one hundred children under age six were in fact prescribed drugs like Ritalin, in just one locale, and affirmed the trend was more than regional. A spokesperson from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence believes that drugs have a small role compared to psychotherapy for ADHD management. He said: A Cambridge professor echoed the thought believing that most cases werent severe enough for drugs and that therapeutic tools could suffice, saying: On a personal note, I observe that it is much more difficult for adults to obtain ADHD drugs than children, with the exception of the increase of middle-aged women on ADHD meds. Working at a school, one of my jobs was to dole out this medication, and it filled me with dread. They were on the highest dosage, 20mg, and some took it multiple times. Out of desperation and haste for my own struggles, I sought help for ADHD and was treated like an addict. Ive lost jobs for the way that I think and function and thought there was something wrong with me. I didnt know in my early 20s that there really wasnt anything inherently wrong (maybe a wrong job fit) and that nutrition and homeopathy are just a couple ways to excel. After getting diagnosed three times with ADHD, all the psychiatrists and doctors wanted was for me to go to anti-depressants, without even taking time to study the issues. I thought that would be disastrous. When I finally proved that I needed it and was healthy enough to take it, the initial results on the lowest dosage, 5mg, were astounding (like in the movie Limitless) but just like that movie, they didnt last and there was a price to pay. An increase in just 5mg once more during the day helped a bit but led to serious heart issues, sometimes pain and numbness. I lost the desire to eat and the ability to sleep even after quitting them. So it is baffling that 20mg can be given to little children and it shouldnt surprise anyone that every year, some of them die from heart attacks. Drugs like Ritalin take up dopamine receptor sites that then weaken the brains ability to produce dopamine on its own. Thus, crippling dependency and continued self-medicating. It creates a debt in the body that is difficult to overcome. Even though the man who first labeled ADHD later said it was fake, does not make the symptoms any less real to those who struggle with what feels like an insurmountable burden. There are a variety of promising and even inexpensive ways to approach ADHD-like symptomology that add to ones life if one takes some time to look. *ADHD: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Note: recently both types, non-attentive and hyperactive were rolled into one acronym, ADHD. General modern consensus finds that it is not a deficit of attention, but more so an inability to concentrate among other keynotes.

3	Debunked: Ridiculous Study Claims Organic Same as ConventionalAnthony Gucciardi They then state that it doesnt matter that conventional foods have higher pesticide, herbicide, and insecticide levels because they dont exceed legal limits. They then fail to mention that Roundup, Monsantos best-selling herbicide, has been linked to DNA damage, infertility, and over 29 other associated diseases. Yet they insist that there is no real difference. That is not even taking into consideration the thousands of other studies on pesticides and insecticides, such as the 3 pieces of mainstream peer-reviewed research linking pesticide exposure to lower IQ. Apparently these factors dont matter to the Stanford researchers, who utterly ignored them as they compiled their analysis that actually contradicts itself over and over again. The report also admittedly states that organic foods have a drastically lower percentage chance of containing antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the kind that produces mutant superbugs that cannot be treated with antibiotics. The very same kind that have evaded all antibiotics and super drugs and are virtually untreatable by mainstream medicine. A new strain of resistant tuberculosis known as the white plaguehas even started to spread that is the result of rampant antibiotic use across the globe. Conventional farm animals are dosed up with these antibiotics to prevent them from dying as a result of the serious illnesses they come down with. The animals are stricken from both eating a poor diet often full of genetically modified grain as well as sitting stationary in a claustrophobic area for years. Around 30% of cows in the United States are also injected with Monsantos genetically modified synthetic hormone known as rBGH, which is banned in 27 countries worldwide. Apparently the fact that the genetically engineered rBGH uses molecules and DNA sequences that are the result of molecular cloning doesnt matter to the Stanford researchers. The list could go on and on. Overall, it seems quite apparent that the researchers really have no idea what the word health entails. While even the very few aspects they examine seem to heavily favor organic food items, the hundreds of other essential factors are wildly overlooked in the report that does nothing but push back the general publics notion of what true health is by about 30 years.

2	BREAKING: Shots Fired At U.S Military Base, You Wont Believe Whose Behind It [VIDEO] Last week, the nation was outraged when a Muslim extremist barged onto a military base and opened fire, killing four Chattanooga marines and one Navy man. Rather than offering his deep condolences about the attack, Obama decided to move forward with the release of a message about the importance of respecting Ramadan. Simultaneously, ISIS was taking responsibility for the attack. Given the recent attacks, you can imagine the fear that took place when it was announced that shots were fired once more at a Mississippi military base. The shots were fired into the air at 8 am at Camp Shelby Joint Forces Training Center. The description of the shooter is a white male in a red pickup truck. Thankfully, the base is now secure and no personnel have been injured or gone missing. Were making sure soldiers are aware of whats going on so they can take the proper precautionary measures, Lt.

2	BREAKING: Obama Moves To National Gun Confiscation According to recent reports, the Obama administration has been in the process of finding a way to disarm the American people, despite second amendment rights. A document which was recently released from the Department of Justice shows that the government has been researching options. The article claims that a gun ban will not work without mandatory gun confiscation, and goes on to argue that a background check program wont work without requiring national gun registration. The article supports the fears that gun supporters have been having for years: that the government will first make mandatory background checks as a way of tracking weapons. Then, they will start to impose forceful confiscations. Essentially, some gun supporters believe the government intends to be the only ones with the right to bear arms. What do you think of the recent leak? Are you surprised?

3	Whats the Scoop on Genetically-engineered and Pandemic Viruses?Catherine J. Frompovich Back in October of 2013, the European Society for Virology [ESV] sent a 5-page letter [1] to the President of the European Commission with four ccd copies to various EU Commission officials regarding the work of one particular research scientist, Ron Fouchier, about the H5N1 influenza virus and how the Fouchier groups research shows that a few mutations can render H5N1, an avian virus, transmissible by aerosol between ferrets, which are used as the mammalian model to study the potential of pandemic spread of strains of influenza. Also, the work of Yoshihiro Kawaoka, of the University of Wisconsin regarding similar studies, was mentioned. The key issue seems to be: The U.S. National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) initially advised that these studies should not be published because their results could be used to transform H5N1 into a bioweapon. However, in March 2012, the NSABB reversed its decision and advised in favor of publication of the papers, in line with the advice one month earlier from international influenza experts that assembled upon invitation by the WHO [World Health Organization]. [1] [CJF emphasis added] Heres how that principle apparently works. The problem is caused by genetic modifications Nature wouldnt think up, but research science does. The reaction is fear and outrage by society (or science) desperately wanting relief and for which science has the solution in its back pocket, all while Big Pharma is only too happy and obliging to manufacture a vaccine. Now do you see how it apparently works? Can that be the impetus for the more than 300 new vaccines that are on the drawing boards now? Will they be mandated by the U.S. HHS/CDC/FDA to be jabbed into everyone? Will we, under penalty of law, be mandated to get a vaccine a day because technology has lost its collective mind creating pandemic viruses and biologicals? How about vaccines via drones, as proposed by Bill Gates? Furthermore, when will science and technology be made to get a handle on their drive for inventing life-threatening creations? Or, will virus and biological genetic modification become similar to what happened early in the 20th century when physicians went hog-wild using children in orphanages and state-run-institutions in New York, Pennsylvania, and other states as human guinea pigs to further what had become the new sciences of eugenics and vaccinology? Originally, eugenics started out as the improvement of human gene pool to preclude and exclude birth anomalies, according to those who perpetuated it like Charles Benedict Davenport, Americas leading eugenicist. That horrible period in medical science is told in the 2013 book, Against Their Will, The Secret History of Medical Experimentation on Children in Cold War America. Healthcare consumers globally need to wake up to whats really going on in medicine! Deliberately making viral pathogens Even though the ESV letter is concerned with licenses on publishing research work, this writer is not concerned about that at all. What is of paramount concern to her is the deliberate tinkering with viruses to make them do things they ordinarily would not do if not tinkered with by technology, especially in the name of science and research. In this writers opinion, that ought to be considered a crime against humanity, i.e., making a deliberately lethal biological or viral pathogen to harm and/or kill animals and/or humans for whatever reason(s), which usually are control and financial asset interests. Look what happened with the Fouchier research, according to the ESV letter: The H5N1 virus was transformed into an airborne pathogen! Furthermore, that letter talks about 90 viruses and microorganisms that can cause disease in humans, animals, and plants which, undoubtedly, will become researchers genetic-engineering-dreams-come-true for fame and fortuneall at the most likely cost of human suffering in more ways than one. Needless to say, the following taken from the ESV letter seems to confirm this writers concerns: However, it has to be mentioned that, in this specific case, the gain of function was used to re-produce what nature already selected (as demonstrated by sequencing of field mutants) with the variation that the aim of the study was to predict/anticipate biological evolution and to provide us with critical information to specify preventive and therapeutic measures, e.g. the improved surveillance and proper evaluation of candidate vaccines and drugs. A bioterrorist organization (provided It has the facilities) could make a more powerful biological weapon (smallpox or botulin toxin) purely by a synthetic biology approach that exploits data already in the public domain without resorting to generate fancy virus mutants. [1] [CJF emphasis added] Bioterrorism exists, perhaps, because science promotes it with genetic engineering research! Ever think of it that way? Humankind, including technology scientists, need to evaluate where technology is taking us because civilization can be sacked either by accident, inadvertent scientific snafus, or sheer and deliberate design. That apparently has happened before, as civilization is a continuum, which science and humans ought to consider seriously from some ancient civilizations texts. Currently, we are living with such a technology nightmare. Its been utilized since the 1950s but no one knows how to handle its deadly wastes and byproducts, i.e., nuclear fission and the present meltdown of the reactor(s) at Fukushima, Japan. (Source) Please check out what Fairewinds Energy Education says about Fukushima here. In summing up the ESVs thoughts in its letter, these points probably need to be highlighted from this writers viewpoint: Many advances in science can be misused and thus research can be seen as dual use research, with potentially positive and negative applications. It means that we need to carefully consider the potential benefits of such research and to take into consideration the risks linked to it, as in the case of this specific study on the H5N1 virus. Although influenza virus has been the sole topic of discussion thus far, the issue relates to research on many pathogenic viruses, fungi and bacteria that are on the dangerous pathogen list. Viruses are widespread in the biosphere, being able to infect humans, animals, plants, bacteria and viruses themselves. They are obligate intracellular parasites and by definition they are potentially pathogenic, especially when they acquire the possibility to jump from their natural host to a new one and become able to efficiently spread in the new species (as is the case for pandemic influenza virus). Thus, studies aimed to understand how a virus can acquire these features should not be judged only on the base of its hypothetical future use in the generation of a bio-terrorist weapon, because these studies are principally conducted to provide critical information to direct the development of efficient preventive and therapeutic approaches and to alert scientists and health officers in the fight against suddenly emerging natural health threats. Quick Caveat: Prolific antibiotic use by medicine in humans, plus in farm animals to promote faster marketability, has led to life-threatening microorganisms that do not respond to what, at one time shortly after World War II, was considered state of the art medicine antibiotics! Regarding especially when they acquire the possibility to jump from their natural host to a new one and become able to efficiently spread in the new species (as is the case for pandemic influenza virus), readers ought to know that the 2009 pandemic virus H1N1 really had some interesting genetics. According to Wikipedia, In the 2009 flu pandemic, the virus isolated from patients in the United States was found to be made up of genetic elements from four different flu viruses North American swine influenza, North American avian influenza, human influenza, and swine influenza virus typically found in Asia and Europe an unusually mongrelised mix of genetic sequences.[20] This new strain appears to be a result of reassortment of human influenza and swine influenza viruses, in all four different strains of subtype H1N1. [2] One has to wonder how different strains of subtypes of flu virus genetic elements from three different global locations can reassort themselves into something new. Magic? Realistically, it probably became easier with some help from a researcher in a genetic engineering lab, one has to assume. Reassortment of influenza strains, especially from various locales worlds apart and from different species is something of a stretch, especially when it involves human, avian (bird), and swine influenza viruses. That kind of multi-tasking genetics jumping just does not happen very easily in Nature, which puts one in mind of another equally questionable vaccine canard: multi-valent vaccines, i.e., several disease actives in one vaccine (ex., DPT or MMR). It is humanly impossible for anyone to be exposed toand to contract3, 6, or 9 different diseases at one time that just cannot happen anywhere on earth! Yet, vaccine science dictates that an infant or toddler should be vaccinated with 3, 6, or 9 disease actives in vaccines all at one time thereby putting a humongous stress on the immune system to create antigen responses to each disease, which pharmacology and medicine then consider as immunity created by those vaccines. In essence, a childs body and immune system are dealing with creating multiple antigen immune responses simultaneously to all those diseases, something that cannot happen in ordinary life, living, and Nature, exclusive of vaccine inoculations. Most childrens bodies cannot multitask that efficiently, especially in detoxifying toxins in vaccines, so adverse reactions [read vaccine package insert information for reactions and contraindications, plus study the CDCs VAERS reports] usually occur anything from minor to catastrophic. A perfect example of a vaccine reaction is the screaming fit that vaccinated children experience for days, which somehow are considered normal by health professionals. Now, can readers understand why vaccines cannot be considered safe? Furthermore, not every vaccine ingredient is tested for safety, carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, or the ability to interfere with fertility and reproduction, as is stated unabashedly on vaccine package inserts. Similar issues can and probably will happen from man-made pandemic influenza viruses due to the un-natural and lethal reassortment scientists create, plus the use of more potent vaccine adjuvants, which may include nanoparticles. Nanoparticles probably will be inserted into new vaccines to produce the desired antigen responses to newly-created virus(es) vaccines. Perhaps these new and emerging natural health threats would not become a reality IF science and technology were not so anxious to patent new organisms and Big Pharmas remedial vaccines or biologicals that then become the eventual solution to the problem-reaction-solution control mechanism thats being employed dramatically, it seems, since the turn of the 21st century. Personally, I thank Professor Palu for his letter of concern; however, I do believe we differ with regard to how technology and science ought to be held accountable for its monkeying around with Nature, especially since science, technology, and human nature have not learned any lessons from opening Pandoras nuclear fission box. As a result, the planet, humans, animals, sea creatures, and the atmosphere are inextricably compromised because of a science that was too gung-ho, while not enough caution was exercised before unleashing nuclear technology into mainstream medicine, electric power generation, warfare, food irradiation, etc. without correct and effective disposal and safety mechanisms. As a result, will we have to deal with the making of metal eating utensils from nuclear wastes? If you question that probability, please check out the following from ENENews, Gundersen: U.S. govt to allow highly radioactive material from nuclear plants into silverware, other items? From 13:15 20:15 Arnie [Gundersen of Fairewinds Energy Education] examines a new proposal by the Department of Energy to melt radioactive scrap metal and reuse it in consumer goods like knives and forks. [CJF emphasis added] Presumably, The Foundation for Vaccine Research [Washington, DC] felt compelled to offer its input via a letter to the President of the European Commissionregarding the ESVs October 2013 letter. It seems the foundation apparently wants to set the record straight about some misstatements. Readers may find that 20-page letter interesting reading.

3	Sen. Lindsey Graham to Congress: Lets Just Blow Up IranAaron Dykes and Melissa Melton The Republican Senator from South Carolina announced on Saturday that he is going to officially approach Congress to seek military authorization for a strike on Iran to destroy the nations nuclear program. The Blaze reports: Graham, speaking on Gov. Mike Huckabees Fox News program, said the move will work to make sure we send a clear signal that this debacle called Syria doesnt mean were confused about Iran. Graham has a long history of warmongering, especially when it comes to Iran. Back in 2010 at an AIPAC meeting, the Senator told the pro-Israel lobby that, The Congress has your back and Israel is our best friend in the world. He went on to say all options must be on the table and you know exactly what Im talking about when it comes to potentially bombing Iran. In addition, Grahams top campaign contributors include Boeing and General Electric key military-industrial complex players that would profit heavily off any war. Likewise, the Senator has shown his readiness to abandon the Constitution and Bill of Rights, particularly under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), to strip suspects of due process rights in the name of the neverending War on Terror: Graham: And when they say, I want my lawyer, you tell them shut up! You dont get a lawyer! Youre an enemy combatant and were gonna talk to you about why you joined al Qaeda. Lets not forget, Senator Graham was casually scaremongering his constituents just a few weeks ago thatIran might nuke South Carolina: Found in the CBS report entitled Graham: Nukes In Hands Of Terrorists Could Result In Bomb Coming To Charleston Harbor, the report details Grahams warning that a lack of military action in Syria could result in a nuclear bombing in Charleston, South Carolina the very destination of the black ops nuclear transfer. The CBS report reads: He [Graham] says if there is no U.S. response [to Syria], Iran will not believe Americas resolve to block Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Graham also says those nuclear weapons in the hands of terrorists could result in a bomb coming to Charleston Harbor. Graham is quite literally saying that if we do not launch a war with Syria, South Carolina may be nuked. Then again, what do we know? After all, Graham has said independent journalists like us dont really deserve the protections of the First Amendment: Who is a journalist is a question we need to ask ourselves, he [Graham] said. Is any blogger out there saying anythingdo they deserve First Amendment protection? These are the issues of our times. Huh. And here we thought everyone was entitled to the natural right to free speech.

1	With the election less than six months away, a nationwide Gallup poll released Wednesday found that Money Man has now pulled even with Black Guy in the 2012 presidential race. Citing Money Man's significant appeal among veteransas well as his narrow lead in Florida, a crucial swing state that went to Black Guy in 2008experts said Money Man is closing the gap on a race that, until quite recently, seemed to be firmly under Black Guy's control. 'I have to say, Money Man has really impressed me lately,' said poll respondent Mike Hargett, who is among the 45 percent of independent voters planning to cast a ballot for Money Man in November. 'I voted for Black Guy in the last election, but Ive been fairly disappointed with the job hes done. As much as I admire Black Guy and his historic achievement, it just seems like the time is right for someone new with fresh ideas to come in and shake things up a bit.' 'Someone like Money Man,' Hargett added. Still, Money Mans current one-point lead over Black Guy is within the Gallup polls margin of error, and Washington insiders have pointed to several encouraging signs for Black Guy, who maintains strong ratings on foreign policy and a double-digit lead in favorability among middle-class voterstwo areas in which Money Man typically hasnt polled very well. Further highlighting the closeness of the race, the poll revealed there are a significant number of undecided voters still weighing the merits of a Money Man presidency vs. a Black Guy presidency. 'It's a tough choice, because both Money Man and Black Guy have strong qualities,' said 47-year-old voter Albert Dorin, adding that he may not make up his mind until he sees Money Man and Black Guy next to each other on a stage, debating. 'I like Money Mans views on the economy and on money. However, you have to hand it to Black Guy for finally tracking down and killing bin Laden. And I like his wife, Black Lady, too.' 'I like her more than Money Mans wife, Blonde Lady,' Dorin added. Despite Money Man's rise in the polls, surveys have found that a majority of Republican voters would have preferred to see Food Man from New Jersey on the ballot, had he chosen to run, and that there also would have been strong support for The Woman, especially among the conservative base. 'Food Man from New Jersey or The Woman would have been more in line with my sensibilities, but there's still a good chance Money Man will pick one of the two as his running mate,' Ohio voter Margaret Yaster told reporters. 'Besides, for me, pretty much any Republican would be better than Black Guy. Even Pizza Black Guy.' 'Not Ron Paul, though,' Yaster continued. 'That guy's out of his goddamn mind.' 
2	BREAKING: Al Qaeda Planning Terrorist Attacks In U.S. On Monday... Heres Where While the nation is focusing in on the presidential election next week, CBS News has just learned about a potential terror threat for the day before we choose our next president. Sources told CBS News senior investigative producer Pat Milton that U.S. intelligence has alerted joint terrorism task forces of the possibility that al Qaeda is planning attacks in three states for Monday. New York, Texas and Virginia have all been reported as targets, though no specific locations have been mentioned. A U.S. law enforcement source told reporters that the threat is possibly legitimate and concerning. The source also confirmed the threat may be aspirational. There has reportedly been pressure on the terrorist organization and its affiliates AQAP and AQIS to regain relevance with its mission. U.S. authorities are already taking the threat seriously, though its credibility has not been confirmed. While we do not comment on intelligence matters, we will say the counterterrorism and homeland security communities remain vigilant and well-postured to defend against attacks here in the United States, a U.S. intelligence official told CBS News. The FBI and DHS, working with our federal, state and local counterparts, share and assess intelligence on a daily basis and will continue to work closely with law enforcement and intelligence community partners to identify and disrupt any potential threat to public safetyAs we have long said, in this environment, homegrown violent extremists could strike with little or no notice. Our concern that violent extremists could be inspired to conduct attacks inside the U.S. has not diminished. The official then gave suggestions to the public. The public should expect to continue to observe an increased law enforcement and security presence across communities in public places, they argued. Our law enforcement community also continues to take action against those who attempt to engage in activities that could put Americans at risk. There are more than 100 Joint Terrorism Task Forces at work across the country in partnership with state and local law enforcement to prevent attacks in the homeland. The New York Police Department also weighed in on the threats, confirming it was working with intelligence agencies and the Joint Terrorism Task Force. With Election Day right around the corner, federal law enforcement is planning for multiple worst-case scenarios. Polling places could be the target of lone-wolf attacks. What do you think? Should these threats be taken very seriously? 
2	Obama Forces $1.1 Trillion Bill Through Congress That Confirms A Bleak Future For America Rep. Paul Ryan introduced a $1.1 Trillion omnibus spending bill on which Congress voted earlier this week. This bill is aimed at funding Obamas Syrian Refugee Program, Mideast immigration programs, Sanctuary Cities, and Obamas executive amnesty for DREAMers. You can bet Obama was behind Ryan driving this one home. An astounding three-fifths of the Republican Party sided with Ryan on this one, and he received a standing ovation at the end of the voting. This bill is funneling money into issuing over 300,000 visas to migrants from Muslim based countries. Of these 300,000, 170,000 will be resettled in America. This is absurd. This is what America has been afraid of. Congress is not reflecting the views of the American people, and this is why we need new leadership. The passage of this bill could bring America to a dark place. Do you think this bill will end in disaster? 
2	BREAKING: Court Hands Down Huge Decision On Sheriff Joe, Illegals Absolutely Terrified Liberals are furious after an Arizona judge made the controversial decision to lift another judges ban blocking Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio from conducting raids on workplaces of employed illegal immigrants. According to reports from The Arizona Republic, the original lawsuit filed by civil rights activists argued against state laws that made it a felony for illegal immigrants to use stolen identities to gain employment. Last year, U.S. District Court Judge David Campbell made the outrageous ruling in favor of the lawsuit, imposing a preliminary injunction that blocked Arpaio from conducting raids. As a result, more than 200 identity-theft cases were thrown out of the courtroom. Now, a panel of judges on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has lifted the previous ruling. The Sheriff can move forward with enforcing the law. These bills were passed, at least in part, in an effort to solve some of Arizonas problems stemming from illegal immigration, the judges wrote. But these bills were also aimed at curbing the growing and well-documented problem of identity theft in Arizona. Arpaio has commented that he is happy with the decision, though he has already disbanded his work-site identity-theft enforcement unit. Im looking at all the options, he commented. What do you think? Are you glad this Arizona court finally came to its senses?

2	What Trump Just Said About Jesus Will Make Your Jaw Drop... In a recent interview with Cal Thomas, Donald Trump was asked a series of very important questions. Thomas goal was to give the public insight into who Trump is as a mannot just a businessman and Republican presidential nominee. What is your basic philosophy and worldview? Thomas asked, prompting Trump to talk about his childhood and his parents focus on education. Trump claimed that education was very important to him, and its no surprise. His extensive schooling has helped to him rise to the top in real estate and other ventures. Every president has called upon God at some point, Thomas commented. Lincoln spoke of not being able to hold the office of the presidency without spending time on his knees. You have confessed that you are Christian. I ask you the question Jesus asked of Peter: Who do you say He is? Jesus to me is somebody I can think about for security and confidence, Trump quickly replied. Somebody I can revere in terms of bravery and in terms of courage and, because I consider the Christian religion so important, somebody I can totally rely on in my own mind. Of course, you dont get to where he is in life by always playing nice, Thomas commented to Donald. How about those people who say his campaign has used divisive language? How do you get beyond that? Trump responded that his campaign is targeted toward the people who are hungry for real change. Hungry for making things right. With our trade deals we are always second, Trump continued. You can pick any country and theyre eating our lunch and making us look bad and so were going to change that. What do you think? Do you agree with Trump? 
2	Italy Stands Up, Takes Massive Move That Obama Never Could Throughout Obamas two terms as president, hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants have made their way into the United States every year. Most of these criminals are never deported. Now, European countries are giving us a preview of what could happen if we continue to operate this way. According to YahooNews!, Italy is seeking to deport more migrants who have no legal right to be in the country, opening a new detention center to hold them before their expulsion. On Friday, police chief Franco Gabrielli sent a two-page directive to stations across the country, ordering them to increase their efforts to identify and deport migrants. This comes after Berlin Christmas market attacker Anis Amri was shot dead near Milan. Amris deadly attack killed a dozen people, including an Italian woman. Italy unsuccessfully attempted to deport Amri back to Tunisia years ago. He was released from a detention center and ordered to leave the country two years ago. The directive reportedly orders police to take extraordinary action before the growing migratory pressure in an international context marked by instability and threats to control and remove irregular foreigners. The plan to open several new detention centers to hold migrants is in line with requests from European Union partners. The tougher stance is Italys first major policy change after Prime Minister Paolo Gentilonis government since it took power last year. The government has agreed to set up hotspots to identify and fingerprint migrants who arrived on Italian shores, but he refused to build large detention centers to hold migrants who did not qualify for refugee status. Only four pre-deportation detention centers are currently functioning. The Interior Ministry is aiming to open up about 16 more, with about 1,000 more spots. Even with the increase, centers will accommodate only a fraction of migrants without permits. What do you think of these new efforts? 
1	A minute and a half after using a urinal at the Manhattan hotspot Bungalow 8 Monday, Gerard Bouchard, 25, was offered cocaine by the stranger voiding his bladder next to him. 'As I'm leaving the restroom, the sweat-soaked guy I was pissing next to says, 'Sure is crowded, but, hey, lots of hot chicks and you can't go wrong with that, right? Want a bump?'' Bouchard said. 'I guess I didn't realize that taking your penis out near someone makes them your good friend.' Bouchard declined the man's generous offer, bypassing a chance to strengthen their urinating-in-close-proximity bond. 
1	Following a no-decision after two consecutive lossesa three-game span in which the Mets scored a combined three runsTom Glavine (5-3) shook his head while repeatedly mumbling 'It's never gonna happen' at a post-game press conference Tuesday. 'Five 20-win seasons and two stupid Cy Young awards, so what? It means nothing... I have nothing,' said a visibly dejected Glavine to a crowd that included his wife, daughter, and stepson. 'I should have retired when I had the chance, but now I'll just end my career as a loser. God, I am such a loser.' Mets pitcher Pedro Martinez tried to cheer up Glavine with by telling him that at least his career hasn't been marred by injuries, to which Glavine responded, 'Shut up.' 
2	BREAKING: Judge Makes Unprecedented Announcement About Recount Ruling After losing the presidency by a landslide, Green Party candidate Jill Stein has turned her energy toward demanding vote recounts in the states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Shortly after midnight on Monday, Stein was given great news. A Michigan judge appointed by Barack Obama ordered election officials in the state to move forward with a hand recount of 4.8 million presidential election ballots. (The recount) shall commence and must continue until further order of this court, U.S. District Judge Mark Goldsmith ruled in the Easter district of Michigan. Defendants shall instruct all governmental units participating in the recounts to assemble necessary staff to work sufficient hours to assure that the recount is completed in time to comply with the safe harbor provision of federal election law. The ruling means Michigan officials have the monumental task of wrapping up the recount before the Electoral College meets on December 19 to finalize the presidential election results. The recount was originally supposed to begin on Wednesday, but Stein brought a lawsuit against the state, arguing that delaying the process would violate her rights to due process and equal protection. What do you think? Is this a massive waste of time? Does Jill Stein need to accept the results of the election and move on? 
2	BREAKING: Obama Changes The 4th Of July For THIS Horrible Reason According to recent reports, the Obama Administration just decided to cancel the Fourth of July at the U.S. embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia out of respect for Muslims. Ambassador Robert O. Blake reportedly claimed that the holiday should not be celebrated given that it occurs during Ramadan. During the month-long observation, Muslims do not eat or drink anything. Officially, embassies are the national territory of the country being represented, not of the host country, American Thinker wrote. So there is no need to accommodate local sensibilities in celebrating our most sacred national holiday. Embassies represent our country, and this is a very interesting choice to make. What do you think of the administrations decision? Are you sick of them violating our freedoms? 
1	MUNICHAn elite force of three dozen 24-hour Luftwaffle restaurants were unveiled across Germany Monday, with free waffles for blond-haired, blue-eyed customers, discounts on Cheese SwasSticks, and the incendiary bombardment of Luftwaffle's largest competitor, the city of London. 'Soon, customers will fall under the sway of my lightning-quick, piping-hot Blintzkreig,' said Hans Kreuzen, Luftwaffle's founder and oberstmanager-general. 'All will know the sweet, buttery taste of fear and waffles from above.' Luftwaffle restaurants are expected to face ruthless competition in Germany's already crowded martial-themed eatery business, which is led by such established chains as WehrKnochwurst and Der Marzipanzerkommand. 
1	Explaining that the harrowing 27-hour operation only had a 13 percent chance of success, doctors from UCSF Medical Center recalled Thursday the incredibly difficult procedure to separate the conjoined Splash Brothers at birth. We quickly discovered a bleeding internal vein shared between the two that didnt appear in our initial 3D imaging, causing us to almost lose Steph right away, said lead surgeon Robert Pacheco, adding that his 12-doctor team of pediatric surgeons and anesthesiologists worked in shifts to separate the then-newborn Splash Brothers, whose bodies were initially fused from the top of the abdomen to the pelvis. The most significant complication arose when we realized the two shared a liver and part of the digestive tract, so we had to proceed very cautiously, and fortunately managed to avoid hitting any arteries. Because of the unexpected blood loss early on, we were prepared to lose one or both Splash Brothers, but they fought through the procedure, and thankfully, the two of them made it. Pacheco added that some kidney damage suffered during the operation caused Stephs stunted growth, which remains the reason he is still much smaller than Klay. 
2	BREAKING: New Pictures Just Leaked Showing What Is Really Happening In Closed Walmarts According to recent reports, a follower of Conservative Post was able to take some questionable photos of a closed WalMart in Tennessee. The photographs substantiate claims that the closures may have been caused by Jade Helm. Arriving at WalMart in lookout valley Chattanooga, Tennessee, please post these pictures to share with the rest of the country, the user told Conservative Post. Jade Helm has sparked significant debate throughout the United States, and those with concerns have been painted as conspiracy theorists or worse. The training is set to take place from July to September, and will include troops wearing civilian clothes and driving civilian vehicles to blend in with civilian populations. What do you think of the photographs? Is there more to Jade Helm than we are being told? 
3	Monsanto Backs Out of Seed Plant in Argentina After ProtestsBy Brandon Turbeville Monsanto made the decision to give up on its seed plant after three years worth of protests from local citizens and GMO-free campaigners from all over Argentina. In 2014, activists forced to Monsanto to stop the construction of the plant by using coordinated protest techniques at the construction site. A spokesman for Monsanto told Argentinian media organizations that Monsanto was dismantling the plant and that the plant was designed to treat 3.5 million hectares of maize; however, last year, only 2.5 million hectares were sown. An investment of almost 1500 million makes no sense. The spokesman was also forced to admit that the protests, local pressure, and resistance by environmentalists, anti-GMO activists and local residents was indeed part of the reason the company decided to dismantle the plant. In addition, a number of lawsuits have been filed against Monsanto over the legality of the construction permit as well as environmental impacts. Sofia Gatica, one of the main activists and leaders of the protest blockade in Malvinas told InfOGM, The company is leaving the field but does not yet recognize its defeat in this battle. We talked with those who have to dismantle what remains. We remain on alert and continue blocking, waiting to see what will happen. We want the site to now be devoted to organic and sustainable agriculture. This latest defeat for Monsanto comes on the heels of a decision by the Argentine government preventing Monsanto from forcing exporters to inspect cargo to determine whether or not farmers had paid the requisite royalties to use its GMO soybeans. Argentina has been showing growing signs as of late that it is becoming more willing to stand up to the multinational food corporation.

2	Texas Man Told Remove His American Flag Because It Was A Threat To Muslims According to recent reports, a Texas man is standing in defense of the American flag after he was told to remove it from his balcony because it was a threat towards the Muslim community. In an interview with KHOU, Duy Tran told reporters that he has friends who have died for this country. He decided to hang the flag from his balcony in their honor after moving into a new apartment in Webster, Texas. Unfortunately, as soon as he hung Ole Glory, he was told by management to take it down. What really stunned me is that she said its a threat towards the Muslim community, Tran told reporters. Im not a threat toward nobody. The manager for Trans apartment complex, the Lodge at El Dorado, denies that implication. She claims that displays must conform to community guidelines. Such guidelines maintain the aesthetics of our apartment community and provide for the safety of all residents, her statement read. The apartment community already proudly displays our countrys flag in a safe and appropriate manner at the entrances to our community. Still, Tran insists that he has no intentions to remove the symbol of his patriotism. What do you think? Do you support Tran? 
3	Positive Ruling in Illegal Download Case Deals Another Blow to Copyright TrollsJoe Wright Now a New York judge, Gary Brown, has joined many others in highlighting an additional failure by those who seek damages for copyright infringement: your IP address is not necessarily you. This ruling backs others around the country according to Mitch Stoltz from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, interviewed by RT in the video below. The battle rages on, however, as large websites like YouTube, as well as the U.S. Government itself, simply bypass due process altogether and remove content based on accusations alone. Regardless, judges who receive these cases to evaluate on their legal merit rather than intimidation and force continue to rule on the side of common sense and personal liberty. Hopefully, this decision toacknowledgethe separation of IP addresses from individuals will be solidified against the much greater privacy threat of CISPA. Read other articles by Joe Wright here. 
3	Honey: A Powerful Anti-Cancer AgentSayer Ji Honey is a superlative healing food. We know it has over 69 health benefits, as confirmed by the biomedical literature itself. But did you know it could be of profound benefit in diseases as life threatening and seemingly incurable as cancer? Indeed, a recent study published the journal Molecules looked at the role of honey in positively impacting the development and progression of tumors or cancers. The review identified the presence of flavonoids and phenolic acids in honey as the primary anti-cancer compounds involved in its beneficial properties. According to the study, flavonoids are biologically active natural compounds with a 15-carbon (C6-C3-C6) structure, comprising two benzene rings joined by a heterocyclic pyrane ring, with honey containing the following: Interestingly, many of theseflavonoids are classified asphytoestrogens, which are phytochemicals structurally similar to mammalian estrogens and therefore can bind to estrogen receptors. While many of these honey-derived flavonoids have been demonstrated to have both inhibitory and stimulatory effects, the vast majority of the cell (in vitro) and animal (in vivo) studies have demonstrated the anti-breast and estrogen sensitive cancer properties of these compounds, indicating that flavonoid rich honeys are likely to positively influence estrogenic activity in estrogen-receptor positive cancers. Unlike chemotherapy and radiotherapy, natural compounds commonly exhibit this do no harm property when it comes to healthy tissue, while at the same time being exceptionally effective attargeting the harmful cells. Another recent study compared the effect of Tualang honey with that of the pharmaceuticaltamoxifen (an estrogen receptor antagonist) in two breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231). The study found that the anti-cancer effect of tualang honey on breast cancer cells was comparable to that of tamoxifen, a multi-billion dollar blockbuster drug. This is all the more remarkable, considering that Tamoxifen is classified by the World Health Organization and theAmerican Cancer Society to be a human carcinogen, and is technically a xenobiotic chemical inherently toxic and biologically alien to human physiology. According to the study, animal research has established honeys significant anti-cancer properties, specifically in regard to inhibiting metastasis (invasiveness): Honey Kills A Wide Range of Cancers The review focused on the potential of honey to affect a variety of cancers, including: What are the Mechanisms of Honeys Anti-Cancer Properties? There are a wide range of observed mechanisms of honeys cancer-killing properties, which include: The study reviewed all possible avenues through which honey suppressed cancer, with 20 depicted in the image below: The study concluded with following summarization: For additional research on honeys benefits read: This article first appeared at GreenMedInfo.

2	BREAKING: Obama Caught Rigging The Election In November For Hillary It appears that President Barack Obama will stop at nothing to make sure Hillary Clinton beats Donald trump in the presidential election. Thats not surprise, given that the former Secretary of State has made it very clear she intends to finish what Obama started. Reports indicate that Obama helped Clinton immensely this week when his Department of Justice blocked the investigation into the Clinton Foundation. Judicial Watch released 296 pages of emails from the Democratic nominee, included 44 that were never released to the State Department. In one of the emails, Doug Band, official for the Clinton Foundation, pushed Clinton aides for a job for someone else in the State Department. He told Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills that personnel [had] been sending him options. No wonder Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin hid emails from the American people, the courts and Congress, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement. They show the Clinton Foundation, Clinton donors, and operatives worked with Hillary Clinton in potential violation of the law. According to Trump, this is just another testament to Clintons true character and corruption. This is yet more evidence that Hillary Clinton lacks the judgment, character, stability and temperament to be within 1,000 miles of public power, said Stephen Miller, Trumps national policy director. She views public office as nothing more than a means to personal enrichment and every dollar she takes comes at the expense of the public welfare. This latest finding is an unseemly, disturbing window into a corrupt office, and yet more evidence that Hillary Clinton has been lying from the beginning and by any reasonable definition attempted to obstruct the investigation of the FBI. What do you think of this new information? 
2	Trump Welcomed Bernie Supporters, Look What Happened Immediately After Following the primary and caucus voting of the final states on Tuesday, presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump delivered a victory speech, reaching out to voters who had in fact supported other candidates. To those who voted for some else, in either party, I will work hard to earn your support, Trump declared. I will work very hard to earn that support. To all of those Bernie Sanders voters who have been left out in the cold by a rigged system of super-delegates, we welcome you with open arms, Trump continued, with the crowd erupting in applause. Trump also continued on to mention the terrible international trade deals that Sanders has been pushing against in alignment with Trump. He focused in on the actions that both he and Bernie have promised to take to protect American workers. To the surprise of the liberal media, Trump has already been gaining support from disillusioned Democrats and independents. It is this same group of people who is supporting Sanders. I and a bunch of Bernie supporters will be voting for Trump this November, Nic Allen wrote on his Facebook page. I refuse to vote for someone who sells the American people out to foreign entities. That comment earned 8,751 likes in only a few hours. What do you think? Could Democrats finally be ready to accept that Hillary needs to be kept far away from the White House?

1	Mariner fans unknowingly witnessed history Monday when veteran umpire Tony Candeleo became only the 11th umpire in major-league history to call a perfect officiating game, not missing a single strike, ball, or contested out for nine straight innings. 'I was worried that one of the fans or players might jinx Tony by saying something to him, but then I realized that nobody had any clue what was happening,' said first-base umpire Brian Gorman, noting the fans' muted response to Candeleo's flawless ball-three call in the sixth, their failure to react when he noted the double switch in the seventh, and the home crowd booing Candeleo's level-headed refusal to overrule a check-swing call against Ichiro Suzuki in the eighth. 'I hope everyone who was confused as to why we screamed and piled on top of Tony after the final out now understands our reason for doing that.' As of press time, the Hall of Fame had not called Candeleo to ask for any keepsakes from the game. 
2	While No One Was Paying Attentions Obama Passed THIS Devastating Bill Right Under Our Noses According to a recent report from The Washington Post, a major pension provider for truckers is set to drastically cut benefits if its approved by President Obamas Treasury Department. The average cut will sit at around 23 percent. The Central States Pension Fund is responsible for managing pension funds for Teamsters union truck drivers from states like Texas, Michigan, Wisconsin, Missouri, New York and Minnesota. The organization was nowhere near running out of money, but it has been seeking to cut benefits for some time now. This is going to be a national crisis for hundreds of thousands, and eventually millions, of retirees and their families, Karen Friedman, Executive Vice President of the Pension Rights Center, told reporters. Its going to open the floodgates for other cuts. Meanwhile, Obama is doing everything he can to push benefits for illegal immigrants. What do you think? Do we need to focus on protecting legal citizens first?

2	Nobody Knew Who Killed This Child. When The Killer Confessed 50 Years Later, Everyone Was SHOCKED Janice Summerfield, a woman from Battle Creek, Michigan gave birth to twins in 1960. By May of 1961, post-partum depression had taken her to a low state of mental health. On May 29, 1961, Summerfield admits that she did something that she has regretted for the last 55 years. As a 78-year-old woman, Janice finally has come clean and admitted that it was she that had killed her infant son William Summerfield III. The first person she told was her now 55 year old daughter Paula Gastian, who was Williams twin sister. Paula took the information to the Calhoun County Sheriff Department, which shortly opened up an investigation. The Prosecutor, however, has decline to charge Janice with the crime 55 years later. Based on inconclusive medical results, I am not comfortable at this time proceeding, he said. We have many cold cases that are 25 or 30 years old, but in this case the scientific evidence made it very difficult. We wanted to do the right thing because we only have one chance at prosecution. Janice said, in tears: I killed that baby. My mind wasnt right. I killed that baby. I didnt know what I was doing. They exhumed the body but found it was too degraded to gather any scientific evidence. Possibly the worst part of this story is that when it happened, Janice blamed the murder on her son Phil, who was 4 years old at the time. 58-year-old Phil had lived with the guilt his entire life, until this revelation. Two other children in that family also died in suspicious circumstances, and daughter Paula blames her mother for those. 
1	In what political observers characterized as the organizations highest-level staff shakeup to date, the presidential campaign of Sen. Marco Rubio announced Monday it would be bringing on a new candidate for the remainder of the 2016 election. Top members of the Rubio camp, speaking at a morning press conference at their Florida headquarters, assured reporters that the organizations split with its former candidate was an amicable one, but noted that the teams senior leadership had concluded a new direction was necessary to ensure the campaigns future success. Everyone at Rubio 16 is very grateful for Marcos hard work these past 10 months, but we think someone with a fresh, new approach will give us the best shot at winning the Republican nomination and taking the White House in November, said campaign manager Terry Sullivan, adding that while Rubio would no longer be a part of the campaign going forward, the rest of the organization would remain in place, exactly as is. This campaign is a well-oiled machine with a terrific network of volunteers and staffers across the country, and with a little bit of new energy in a key position, were confident our message will appeal to all Americans. Once we get a new candidate on board, Rubio 16 will be perfectly positioned for a big Super Tuesday and beyond, Sullivan added. Voters are excited for a new American century. Although Sullivan declined to provide additional details about the campaigns decision to split with the candidate, unnamed sources from within the Rubio camp reported that tensions between Rubio and senior officials dissatisfied with his job performance had been building for months. Campaign insiders additionally confided that many within the organization believed from the beginning that the relatively young newcomer to national politics was never a good fit for the high-pressure environment of a top-level post in a presidential campaign. Several sources with knowledge of the situation stated that staffers had initially considered simply relegating the candidate to a lesser role within the organization. However, advisors were reportedly convinced that a clean break was the only way forward, because Rubiowho had been entrusted with such a prominent role in the campaign due, in part, to beliefs that he could help expand the campaigns reach to a younger and more diverse audiencehad failed to make any significant inroads with millennial voters. Its been obvious that something like this was in the works for a while now, but after failing to win any of the early primary states, I think the campaign realized they couldnt put it off any longer, said conservative columnist Kathryn Jean Lopez, adding that allegations of incompetence were also reportedly leveled by certain staff members and likely played a role in the split. Bringing on a new candidate gives them a chance to find someone who really grasps the message that Rubio 16 is trying to communicate to voters. Sure, its risky to change up at this point, but what other choice do they have? Added Lopez, Im sure right now the Rubio campaign is just wishing theyd listened to all the people who said they shouldve gone with someone more experienced from the beginning. 
3	How to Fake an Alien InvasionBy James Corbett 
1	A diverse group of marijuana advocates, or 'stoners' as they are popularly known, mistakenly held a massive rally in support of Republican party vice-presidential nominee Jack Kemp yesterday, calling upon citizens and the legislature in their demands for the candidate's immediate legalization. Nearly 300,000 jammed Boulder's downtown area in support of the decriminalization of vice-presidential candidate Jack Kemp, calling him 'America's unsung miracle crop.' Touting Kemp as 'America's unsung miracle crop,' the group announced that the one-time NFL quarterback and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development could revolutionize American agriculture, creating an amazing new source of cheap and renewable raw material for everything from medical supplies to textile and paper fiber to dietary protein. 'Everybody thinks Kemp is un-American, but George Washington himself grew Kemp,' rally organizer Heather 'Rain' Sanders said. 'And he was, like, the father of our country.' According to Sanders, Kemp was also grown by Thomas Jefferson, whom she claimed today would be imprisoned for planting, raising and harvesting the longtime Congressional conservative. In addition to carrying banners and shouting slogans of protest, the tie-dyed, long-haired demonstrators publicly flaunted their pro-Kemp stance by openly smoking 'joints,' a slang term for cigarettes rolled with marijuana, a substance which, according to ralliers, is derived from a seedless, female variety of the vice-presidential nominee. Rally attendee Mike Cudahy concurred with the many pro-Kemp claims, holding up a wool hat emblazoned with a design reading, 'Cypress Hill: Insane In The Membrane,' and telling reporters, 'This hat is 100 percent Kemp!' 'Jack Kemp remains the nation's best source of cheap, non-polluting paper and cloth,' rallygoer Frank 'Thatches' Moynihan said. 'In the early 20th century, he was also used to make high-quality rope until his unethical criminalization in 1932, which was railroaded through Congress via a yellow journalism smear campaign by William Randolph Hearst.' Added Moynihan: 'Man, am I baked.' Despite running smoothly overall, the Kemp rally was briefly interrupted by Republican campaign advocates who showed up in support of their candidate. In addition to angering the crowd by refusing to wear marijuana leaf buttons handed out by rally organizers, the Republicans frightened many in attendance with their conservative, monochromatic mode of dress. Marijuana advocates are describing yesterday's Kemp rally as 'the kind.' 'I'm standin' there yellin', 'Kemp! Kemp!' and this suit-wearin tie guy is standin' right next to me. I'm like, 'What the hell?'' said protester Jamie 'Starbaby' Dugan, of nearby Ft. Collins. 'I don't know who those guys were, but they sure didn't look like Kemp smokers to me. Maybe they were narcs.' The rally was also briefly interrupted by local police officials, who attempted to explain to ralliers their fundamental hemp/Kemp confusion. Despite their efforts, the officials were quickly drowned out by protesters who chanted, 'We won't listen to your lies! Kemp will make this nation high!' over and over until collapsing in coughing spasms. They continued to chant and make speeches until reconvening several hours later to enjoy unlimited salad bar visits at a nearby Wendy's. While the vice-presidential candidate himself did not attend the demonstration, Kemp's office issued a formal response: 'This demonstration and others like it prove that America wants Kemp. Only the team of Kemp and Dole can make the United States great again!' Despite expressing pleasure with the rally, the statement did, however, strongly deny that Kemp is a plant. 'We can assure you and your readers that the Congressman is decidedly mammalian in taxonomy,' it read. 'Mr. Kemp is now and has always been staunchly non-fibrous.' 
2	Sadie Robertson Was Told Not To Talk About Jesus In Public So She Did THIS Instead Sadie Robertson Just Led 925 Nonbelievers to Jesus Christ Last Saturday, Sadie Robertson went to the annual Reaching Unchurched Students for Him (RUSH) convention in Meansville, Georgia.Sadie gave a speech bringing hundreds of youth to Jesus. After Robertsons speech 925 attendees committed their lives to Christ. The nature of [the] event, whether it be concerts, celebrities, games, or other things that we do, are all aimed at getting those kids in the community, or in the world if you will, not in the church necessarily, but to get the church friends to bring the students that may never walk into a church, RUSH Ministries co-founder explained. They realize not only is being a Christian fun, not only is it cool, but also, eternal hope is sandwiched within all that stuff, said Pritchett. I think thats probably the reason why we see so many kids come to Christ rather than at a Christian festival we reach them first, if that makes sense. Then we present the Gospel. They let their guard down a little bit, and when the Gospel is preached, it does what it does. No one can take credit for that except certainly Jesus. We speak that out and it goes out and is received. Sadie Robertson is a shining example of how young people should be living in todays society. Do you support Sadie Robertson? 
2	Here Is The MASSIVE Fraud At DNC NO ONE Is Talking About, So We Will [VIDEO] The liberal media has been doing everything they can to make American believe that democrats are happy about Hillarys nomination. The truth is, they dont have enough people to fill the seats in the convention. Footage from the convention floor shows Sanders supporters crying and outraged as they heckled the convention speakers and chanted Look her up. DNC security even took Bernie signs away from women in the audience and tore them up. As if that werent enough, the Democratic convention hall is nearly empty. Democrats placed adds on Tuesday night offering actors $50 a day to attend the rest of the convention and cheer. Now, if you watched the mainstream medias coverage, you saw almost no mention of the walkout. Dont believe everything you watch people. Heres what really happened:

1	WASHINGTON, DCTerrorist chatter about a possible al-Qaeda attack against the U.S. deteriorated into gossip Monday, according to top federal intelligence officials. 'We intercepted a phone call in which two al-Qaeda operatives were discussing plans to conduct reconnaissance missions at certain U.S. landmarks,' CIA operative Tim Huber said. 'But the conversation quickly devolved into a 20-minute discussion of what someone named Majida Sa'doon was doing at Kanebi Hadi Hameeb's home at sunrise.' Huber added that the gossip is a 'definite improvement' over the glut of small talk about recipes, children, and goats that dominated conversation at this time last year.

3	WARNING: Final Psy-Op Vs. Syria BeginsTony Cartalucci A carefully prepared covert operation is arming rebels, involving Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar, with the United States and other Western governments consulting, and all parties hold veto power over where the shipments are directed, according to a senior Arab official whose government is participating. His account was corroborated by a diplomat and two military experts. One must question why the Western media would boldly declare to the world what is supposed to be a covert operation, if such an operation had any tactical chance of succeeding unless of course, the announcement was designed to either cover for wide-scale Western special operations inside Syria, or to help achieve a psychological victory (or both) to induce panic and terror across the Syrian population in tandem with recent, and increasingly barbaric terrorist attacks on Syrias civilians. One such attack included the recent mortar bombardment of Damascus University which left at least 15 dead. The New York Times seemed to take special pleasure in describing in great detail the disruptive effect the attack had on people attempting to live normal lives during the ongoing conflict in their article, Syrias War Invades a Campus That Acted as a Sanctuary. The Britain-based watchdog said that a child was among 10 civilians killed in the fighting for the town over the past 24 hours. At least 15 rebels and a media activist working with them were also killed, as were 12 loyalist troops, it added. Large swathes of Daraa (province) are now under rebel control. Their advance in the south is escalating, Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP. In actuality, the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is a single opposition propagandists, Rami Abdel Rahman, based in a comfortable countryside home in the UK, disingenuously masquerading as a human rights organization. When not feeding the biased-hungry Western media, Rami Abdel Rahman can be found scurrying in and out of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London to meet with Britains Foreign Secretary, William Hague. This facade is fully sanctioned by the Western media which despite acknowledging him as a biased, compromised source, consistently misrepresents him to their audience as a credible human rights organization, while almost exclusively deferring to him to lend credibility to their otherwise baseless narratives. When entire articles hinge on Rami Abdel Rahmans verified propaganda, perception management, not journalism, is dictating headlines and overarching narratives. The Syrian people have resisted the collective efforts of the US, UK, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and their regional partners for 2 years, and have defeated at least two previous psychological operations aimed at toppling the government and destroying the country. The tides have shifted across public opinion, and evidence that the West has intentionally sought to arm and direct sectarian extremists against the Syrian nation since at least 2007, are reaching a crescendo. While the West now openly admits it is working directly with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and NATO-member Turkey to supply thousands of tons of weapons to militants in Syria, it cannot explain how else Al Qaedas Al Nusra front has become the best armed and most well equipped front in the conflict unless these thousands of tons of weaponry were sent directly to them, as was intended to begin with, according to Seymour Hershs 2007 article, The Redirection: Is the Administrations new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism? which reported: A window is closing, and the West is resorting to dangerous desperation. Syria and its allies, as well as concerned interests around the world, must be more vigilant and resilient than ever. The tell-tale signs of a psychological operation are there but for a psychological operation to succeed, a nations people must not be prepared or aware that it is coming. By raising awareness of this most recent, insidious attempt at snatching a psychological victory from the jaws of a tactical defeat, we can help quicken the day when the Wests war machine finally stumbles and falls, giving the people of Syria their lives back.

2	Argentine President Obama Tried To Persuade Us To Sell Nukes To Iran According to recent claims at the United Nations General Assembly in New York from Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, the Obama Administration tried to convince the Argentinians to provide the Islamic Republic of Iran with nuclear fuel in 2010. Kirchner claims that the administration sent former White House Coordinator for Arms Control and Weapons of Mass Destruction, to Argentina to provide the materials, just two years into Obamas first term. Read Kirchners statement below and tell us what you think. Is Obama guilty of treason? In 2010 we were visited in Argentina by Gary Samore, at that time the White Houses top advisor in nuclear issues. He came to see us in Argentina with a mission, with an objective: under the control of IAEA, the international organization in the field of weapons control and nuclear regulation, Argentina had supplied in the year 1987, during the first democratic government, the nuclear fuel for the reactor known as Teheran. Gary Samore had explained to our Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hctor Timerman, that negotiations were underway for the Islamic Republic of Iran to cease with its uranium enrichment activities or to do it to a lesser extent but Iran claimed that it needed to enrich this Teheran nuclear reactor and this was hindering negotiations. They came to ask us, Argentines, to provide the Islamic Republic of Iran with nuclear fuel. Rohani was not in office yet. It was Ahmadinejads administration and negotiations had already started. 
2	BREAKING: Gunmen Storm Hospital At Least Dead... Many Injured Just one week after the tragic shooting in Orlando, FL, the world has witnessed yet another mass shooting. According to reports, a group of armed men stormed a Rio de Janeiro hospital this week to free a suspected drug trafficker. The men engaged in a shootout with police officers, ultimately leaving one patient dead, and wounding a nurse and a cop. The shooting took place at the Hospital Souza Aguiar, one of the medical facilities recommended for tourists seeking emergency treatment during the upcoming Olympic Games. At least five gunmen were involved, barging into the hospital and freeing a 28-year-old trafficker who was being treated for a gunshot wound. It is believed that as many as 15 other gunmen were waiting outside the hospital during the assault. The head of the states homicide unit claims that two of the assailants were identified thanks to security camera footage. This was a carefully orchestrated attack, Rivaldo Barbosa told reporters outside the hospital. It was a bold action that will not go unpunished. It is unacceptable. Fabio Melo, a sergeant who was guarding the suspect in the hospital, later told the press that he has felt more vulnerable to attacks as Rio de Janeiro state is increasing officers shifts. People in our line of duty go through these kinds of different experiences, Melo told reporters. But we are defenseless. I am defenseless, you are defenseless and the whole population, too.

2	BREAKING: Five Governors Declare All Out War On Obamas Executive Tyranny President Obama is well aware that there is no way for him to force Congress to put rules in place for global warming on America. In fact, many Democrats dont even support these rules, and many Republicans dont believe that global warming is a true scientific concern. Of course, thats not going to stop Obama from getting his way. Recently, Obama talked about implementing an unconstitutional executive order placing a limit on carbon emissions. As soon as he made this announcement, five Republican Governors banded together to say they will oppose any such action. This could once again pose a huge clash between federal and state authorities, and undermine Obamas efforts to urge other nations to enact similar plans this year as part of a major United Nations climate change accord.

2	BREAKING: Atheists Sue And Remove Innocent 9/11 Memorial Well, were not happy to report this news, but we cant say were surprised either. In what seems to be an ongoing protest, an atheist group has decided to file suit against a proposed 9/11 memorial display in Princeton, New Jersey. According to reporters, the American Atheists sent a letter to Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert, claiming that they intend to sue the town if a World Trade Center beam with a cross symbol is placed on public land. While the intention to commemorate those who died at the World Trade Center is admirable and appropriate for a community, the use of such a singular religious image will be grossly offensive and alienating to many people, Bruce Afran, the attorney representing the group, wrote in the letter. The remainder of the letter went on to claim that the beam should be placed in a designated free speech zone allowing members of other religions and non-religious Americans to place their own symbols at the memorial. The idea for the memorial was sparked by Deputy Fire Chief Roy James, who obtained the beam on his own to give to the town. He envisioned it being placed near the Princeton Battle Monument, which is state-owned. James argued that the cross is not a religious symbol, but rather a historical artifact representing an unforgettable day in Americas history. The memorials $100,000 price tag would be fronted by the town and private donations. What do you think of the atheists argument?

3	Massachusetts Voters Nullify Unconstitutional Federal Prohibition of MarijuanaBy Michael Boldin With 64 percent of the precincts reporting, Tenth Amendment Center projects Question 4 as the winner by a margin of 53-47. With passage of Question 4,adults over 21 will be able to possess and cultivate up to ten ounces of cannabis, although consumption will not be allowed in public. Marijuana products will be taxed and regulated in a process similar to alcohol in the state. However, all of this is prohibited under the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA), an unconstitutional measure passed in 1970. Of course, the federal government lacks any constitutional authority to ban or regulate marijuana within the borders of a state, despite the opinion of the politically connected lawyers on the Supreme Court. If you doubt this, ask yourself why it took a constitutional amendment to institute federal alcohol prohibition. Legalization of marijuana in Massachusettsremoves a hugelayer of laws prohibiting the possession and use of marijuana, but federal prohibition will remain on the books. FBI statistics show that law enforcement makes approximately 99 of 100 marijuana arrests under state, not federal law. By mostly endingstate prohibition, Massachusettsessentially sweeps away mostof the basis for 99 percent of marijuana arrests. Furthermore, figures indicate it would take 40 percent of the DEAs yearly-budget just to investigate and raid all of the dispensaries in Los Angeles a single city in a single state. That doesnt include the cost of prosecution. The lesson? The feds lack the resources to enforce marijuana prohibition without state assistance. Massachusettswas one of eight states with measures on the ballot to to legalize marijuana for either for medical or general adult use today. This is the largest number of states that have considered nullifying marijuana prohibition in a single election cycle. The state joins a growing number that are simply ignoring federal prohibition, and nullifying it in practice. Colorado, Washington state, Oregon and Alaska have all legalized both recreational and medical marijuana, and more than two-dozen states now allow cannabis for medical use, with Florida joining them earlier tonight. With half the country legalizing marijuana, the feds find themselves in a position where they simply cant enforce prohibition any more. The lesson here is pretty straight forward. When enough people say, No! to the federal government, and enough states pass laws backing those people up, theres not much the feds can do to shove their so-called laws, regulations or mandates down our throats.

2	ID Of Oregon Shooter Revealed, But Heres What Theyre Not Telling You Yesterday, the nation was saddened by another school shootingthis time at Umpqua Community College in Oregon. The attack has claimed the lives at least ten people. It didnt take more than a few hours for Obama to start pushing his anti-gun agenda. As usual, it appears that the American public isnt being told the whole truth about the situation. According to the Daily Mail, 26-year-old student and shooter Chris Harper-Mercer has been described as a loner who idolized the IRA and the Nazis. Im just as shocked as everybody at what happened today, Ian Mercer, the shooters family, told reporters. Ive just been talking to the police and FBI. Thats all the details I have right now, is what you know already. Obviously, its been a devastating day. Devastating for me and my family. Of course, the lesser-told story here is that Harper-Mercers attack was clearly one of religious vengeance, and he clearly was targeting Christians when he made the decision to attack. Harper-Mercer reportedly asked individual students if they were Christians. When several students said yes, he told them, Good, youll see God in a second. He then proceeded to murder them. Obama is choosing to ignore the attack on Christianity, and is instead focusing on the weapons involved. Seems like he is more concerned with pushing his own agenda than standing up for American youth and traditional values. 
2	Grandmother Pulls Out A Gun After Being Mugged And Beaten On The Train Ramona Taylor-Kamate was just going through another day, ending work by taking the train back home. When the train stopped, a man approached her, saying, Give me my bag. When she wouldnt give up her purse, he hit her, took the purse, and started walking away. Granny went after him and he started hitting her again. This is when she pulled out her gun and took aim. She completely emptied the clip. The mugger unfortunately got away, but was wounded in the process. Hell think twice before trying to rob anyone again. This woman is amazing. She is a perfect example of why Americans need to be armed. Do you support the American right to carry a concealed weapon? 
3	Vermont Governor Signs Sweeping Privacy Law, Hinders Several Federal Surveillance ProgramsBy Mike Maharrey The new law bans warrantless use of stingray devices to track the location of phones and sweep up electronic communications, restricts the use of drones for surveillance by police, and generally prohibits law enforcement officers from obtaining electronic data from service providers without a warrant or a judicially issued subpoena. Sen. Tim Ashe, Sen. Joe Benning and Sen. Dick Sears prefiled Senate Bill 155 (S.155) in December. As filed, the legislation addressed the use of drones by Vermont law enforcement, and placed some additional limits on storage and sharing of data collected by ALPRs. An amendment in a Senate committee added provisions to limit warrantless collection of electronic data. Amendments in the House banned the warrantless use of stingray devices and ultimately put off significant changes to current ALPR law. Gov. Shumlin signed S.155 into law on June 6. It will go into effect in stages. Extension of the current ALPR statue went into effect immediately, along with study requirements. Minor changes to current ALPR law will go into effect July 1. Sections relating to drones, stingrays and warrantless data collection become effective Oct. 1. The new law virtually bans the use of cell site simulators, known as stingrays. These devices essentially spoof cell phone towers, tricking any device within range into connecting to the stingray instead of the tower, allowing law enforcement to sweep up communications content, as well as locate and track the person in possession of a specific phone or other electronic device. Under the new statute, law enforcement can only use stingrays to track a fugitive with a warrant. A law enforcement officer shall not use a device which via radio or other electromagnetic wireless signal intercepts in real time from a users device a transmission of communication content, real time cellular tower derived location information, or real time GPS derived location information, except for purposes of locating and apprehending a fugitive for whom an arrest warrant has been issued. S.155 bars the use of any drone-mounted facial recognition technology on any person other than one named specifically in a warrant. The legislation also prohibits arming drones with a Dangerous or deadly weapon, or firing any type of projectile from an unmanned aircraft. S.155 prohibits law enforcement from obtaining electronic information and data from service providers without a warrant or subpoena in most situations. This includes emails, web browsing history, call and text message content, location information and files stored on third party servers such as the cloud. The legislation allows warrantless collection of data in emergency situations, but law enforcement must apply for a warrant within five days. If the judge rejects the warrant application, all information must be destroyed. The law allows warrantless collection of electronic data under judicially recognized exceptions to the warrant requirement, with the owners consent, or if the electronic device is found in possession of a correctional facility inmate. S.155 allows service providers to voluntarily give information to law enforcement. Any data so gathered must be destroyed within 90 days unless the law enforcement agency obtains a court order authorizing retention, or with consent of the sender or recipient of the information. The legislation provides a legal remedy for anybody surveilled in violation of the law. A defendant in a trial, hearing, or proceeding may move to suppress electronic information obtained or retained in violation of the U.S. Constitution, the Vermont Constitution, or this chapter. As passed, S.155 makes some tweaks to Vermont law relating to license plate readers, but more significant changes were amended out of the bill. Current law was set to sunset this year. It will now remain in place until 2018. Presumably, the legislature will have to address the issue next year. Under current law, the state can retain ALPR data up to 18 months and share it with other law enforcement agencies, including federal, during that time frame. The legislature needs to place tighter restrictions on the storage and sharing of ALPR data next session. As it stands, information could easily end up in permanent federal databases. The federal government funds the vast majority of state and local stingray programs, attaching one important condition. The feds require agencies acquiring the technology to sign non-disclosure agreements. This throws a giant shroud over the program, even preventing judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys from getting information about the use of stingrays in court. The feds actually instruct prosecutors to withdraw evidence if judges or legislators press for information. As the Baltimore Sun reported last fall, a Baltimore detective refused to answer questions on the stand during a trial, citing a federal non-disclosure agreement. Defense attorney Joshua Insley asked Cabreja about the agreement. Does this document instruct you to withhold evidence from the states attorney and Circuit Court, even upon court order to produce? he asked. Yes, Cabreja said. As privacysos.org put it, The FBI would rather police officers and prosecutors let criminals go than face a possible scenario where a defendant brings a Fourth Amendment challenge to warrantless stingray spying. The feds sell the technology in the name of anti-terrorism efforts. With non-disclosure agreements in place, most police departments refuse to release any information on the use of stingrays. But information obtained from the Tacoma Police Department revealed that it uses the technology primarily for routine criminal investigations. Some privacy advocates argue that stingray use can never happen within the parameters of the Fourth Amendment because the technology necessarily connects to every electronic device within range, not just the one held by the target. And the information collected by these devices undoubtedly ends up in federal data bases. The feds can share and tap into vast amounts of information gathered at the state and local level through a system known as the information sharing environment or ISE. In other words, stingrays create the potential for the federal government to track the movement of millions of Americans with no warrant, no probable cause, and without the people even knowing it. According to its website, the ISE provides analysts, operators, and investigators with information needed to enhance national security. These analysts, operators, and investigators have mission needs to collaborate and share information with each other and with private sector partners and our foreign allies. In other words, ISE serves as a conduit for the sharing of information gathered without a warrant. The federal government encourages and funds stingrays at the state and local level across the U.S., thereby undoubtedly gaining access to a massive data pool on Americans without having to expend the resources to collect the information itself. By placing restrictions on stingray use, state and local governments limit the data available that the feds can access. In a nutshell, without state and local cooperation, the feds have a much more difficult time gathering information. This would representa major blow to the surveillance state and a win for privacy. Although S.155 focuses exclusively on state and local drone use and does not apply directly to federal agencies, it throws a high hurdle in front of some federal programs. Much of the funding for drones at the state and local level comes from the federal government, in and of itself a constitutional violation. In return, federal agencies tap into the information gathered by state and local law enforcement through fusion centers and a federal program known as the information sharing environment. According to its website, the ISE provides analysts, operators, and investigators with information needed to enhance national security. These analysts, operators, and investigators have mission needs to collaborate and share information with each other and with private sector partners and our foreign allies. In other words, ISE serves as a conduit for the sharing of information gathered without a warrant. The federal government encourages and funds a network of drones at the state and local level across the U.S., thereby gaining access to a massive data pool on Americans without having to expend the resources to collect the information itself. By placing restrictions on drone use, state and local governments limit the data available that the feds can access. In a nutshell, without state and local cooperation, the feds have a much more difficult time gathering information. This represents a major blow to the surveillance state and a win for privacy. By allowing defendants to suppress information obtained in violation of the law, S.155 would effectively stop one practical effect of NSA spying in Vermont. Reuters revealed the extent of such NSA data sharing with state and local law enforcement in an August 2013 article. According to documents obtained by the news agency, the NSA passes information to police through a formerly secret DEA unit known Special Operations Divisions and the cases rarely involve national security issues. Almost all of the information involves regular criminal investigations, not terror-related investigations. In other words, not only does the NSA collect and store this data, using it to build profiles, the agency encourages state and local law enforcement to violate the Fourth Amendment by making use of this information in their day-to-day investigations. This is the most threatening situation to our constitutional republic since the Civil War, Binney said.

And now it is being forgotten. Whoa. This entire episode in Harney County, Burns Oregon was the epitomy of our FEDS gone bad. If you havent watched this you should. This is a crucial situation that shows how little we matter to the FEDS.

It is a wake up call that the FEDS have been able to poo poo away I would be interested in buying a diffusion mechanism. It would be nice if someone actually came up with a counter to all this. 
1	Republican strategists confirmed Friday there are now only four songs in the entirety of recorded music that GOP candidates are legally permitted to use. 'Currently, the only artists who have not issued court injunctions against Republicans for playing a song on the campaign trail are Kid Rock and Barry Manilow,' said John Brabender, a senior strategist for Rick Santorum, adding that he 'wouldn't be surprised' if Manilow's lawyer already has a cease-and-desist letter in the mail concerning use of 'Ready To Take A Chance Again.' 'The only options left are in the public domain. So it's looking more and more likely that the Santorum campaign will make 'Turkey In The Straw' the official anthem of its White House run.' According to sources, Mitt Romney took the stage during a Wisconsin campaign event Thursday with 'Jimmy Crack Corn' blaring from gymnasium speakers. 
1	In an alarming report released Monday by the Central Intelligence Agency, Syria may be harboring upwards of 15 million known Arabs within its borders. Suspected Arabs move freely through a Damascus marketplace. 'Reliable intelligence collected by our agency indicates that Syria has conspired to lend physical and economic support to a massive number of people belonging to this group,' CIA director George J. Tenet said. 'The shocking truth is, there are nearly as many Arabs in Syria as there are people in New York and Los Angeles combined. In fact, Syrians openly refer to their nation as the Syrian Arab Republic, despite knowing full well America's opinion on these matters.' Explaining the CIA's methods of gathering data on the rogue ethnicity's presence in Syria, Tenet said it relied on a combination of satellite imagery, computer-system infiltration, reports from Syrian covert operatives, intercepted radio and television transmissions, and The World Almanac And Book Of Facts 2003. 'It's practically an open secret these days,' Tenet said. 'Syrian television brazenly shows Arabs in military uniforms carrying guns, or delivering political speeches to other members of the group. Walk into any house of worship in the country, and you'll see people reading the Koran and bowing their heads in prayer toward Mecca. It's almost like they're daring the United States to get involved.' 'Disturbingly, more than 90 percent of these Arabs have been linked to the practice of 'Islam'a defiantly non-Western system of faith whose core principles are embraced by none other than Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein,' Tenet added. 'If this is true, and we do consider this information to be correct in all particulars, then this is troubling at best.' President Bush, Tenet said, has been aware of Syria's ties to known Arab political and religious figures since the earliest planning stages of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Tenet assured reporters that all possible diplomatic avenues of resolving the situation were being aggressively pursued. In a chilling scene, thousands of Arabs bow toward Mecca in praise of Allah. 'We have informed [Syrian President] Bashar al-Assad of the presence of Arabs in his country and have offered any aid necessary to bring this situation under control,' Tenet said. 'I am confident that a resolution to this crisis can be achieved without resorting to military action.' This is not the first time Syria has been linked to Arabs. Israel found the Golan Heights heavily populated by Arabs when it annexed the region from Syria during 1967's Arab-Israeli War. Arabs have historically held many influential posts in the Syrian government, and the CIA claims to have data indicating that wealthy Arab businessmen control the greater part of Syria's economy. The CIA report prompted concern from many Americans. 'I'm not surprised,' said Wayne Early, an Atlanta-area mortgage broker. 'I suspect they're all over that part of the world. First, the government linked them to Sept. 11, then Afghanistan, and then Iraq. It makes you wonder who's next.' 'The more I learn about Arabs, the less I like them,' said Carol Schecter of Norfolk, VA. 'Beirut, Teheran, Baghdad... everyplace there's trouble, they're there, and now we've found them in Syria. I just hope they don't hurt the regular Syrians.' Tenet assured citizens that he is committed to resolving the crisis. 'We don't want to cause any undue panic, but now that the Arabs are there, we're going to have to deal with them,' Tenet said. 'Unfortunately, they're not just going to go away by themselves.' 
3	Obamas Secret Treaty Which Will Merge America Into a One World Economic SystemMichael Snyder It will also merge the United States far more deeply into the emerging one world economic system. Initially, twelve nations will be a party to this treaty including the United States, Mexico, Canada, Japan, Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. Together, those nations represent approximately 40 percent of global GDP. It is hoped that additional nations such as the Philippines, Thailand and Colombia will join the treaty later on. There are some very good reasons why Obama does not want the American people to know anything about what is in this treaty. This agreement will impose very strict Internet copyright rules on the American people, it will ban all Buy American laws, it will give Wall Street banks much more freedom to trade risky derivatives and it will force even more domestic manufacturing offshore. It contains a whole host of things that Obama would be unable to get through Congress on his own. But he is hoping to spring this on Congress at the last minute and get them to agree to this free trade agreement before they realize all of the things that are contained in it. Since the beginning of the TPP negotiations, the process of drafting and negotiating the treatys chapters has been shrouded in an unprecedented level of secrecy, Wikileaks notes in a statement on the release of the TPP draft. Access to drafts of the TPP chapters is shielded from the general public. Members of the US Congress are only able to view selected portions of treaty-related documents in highly restrictive conditions and under strict supervision. It has been previously revealed that only three individuals in each TPP nation have access to the full text of the agreement, while 600 trade advisers lobbyists guarding the interests of large US corporations such as Chevron, Halliburton, Monsanto and Walmart are granted privileged access to crucial sections of the treaty text. And Obama reportedly is seeking trade promotion authority which would give him the ability to sign this treaty before Congress even votes on it Normally free -trade agreements must be authorized by a majority of the House and Senate, usually in lengthy proceedings. However, the White House is seeking what is known as trade promotion authority which would fast track approval of the TPP by requiring Congress to vote on the likely lengthy trade agreement within 90 days and without any amendments. The authority also allows Obama to sign the agreement before Congress even has a chance to vote on it, with lawmakers getting only a quick post-facto vote. This is so insidious that it is hard to find the words to describe it. In essence, Obama is trying to make a giant end run around Congress on dozens of different issues that are addressed by this treaty. Fortunately, there are at least some members of Congress that are waking up to this. Earlier this week, a small group of Republicans and a small group of Democrats both sent Obama a letter condemning this free trade agreement Separate groups of House Republicans and Democrats on Tuesday condemned the Obama administrations proposed sweeping free trade agreement with 11 Pacific nations, known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Strongly worded letters to President Barack Obama Tuesday were signed by hardline tea partiers, true-blue progressives, and moderate, corporate-friendly lawmakers in both parties, indicating political trouble for a trade deal the administration had hoped to seal by year end. This is one of the most important political issues facing our nation here at the end of 2013, and yet you hear next to nothing about this treaty on the mainstream news. If this treaty is approved, the United States will be permanently bound by the provisions of this treaty and will never be able to change them unless all of the other countries agree Countries would be obliged to conform all their domestic laws and regulations to the TPPs rulesin effect, a corporate coup dtat. The proposed pact would limit even how governments can spend their tax dollars. Buy America and other Buy Local procurement preferences that invest in the US economy would be banned, and sweat-free, human rights or environmental conditions on government contracts could be challenged. If the TPP comes to fruition, its retrograde rules could be altered only if all countries agreed, regardless of domestic election outcomes or changes in public opinion. And unlike much domestic legislation, the TPP would have no expiration date. Are you starting to understand just how dangerous this treaty is? Let me give you just one example of how this treaty could directly affect you. Do you remember SOPA? There was a huge public backlash when the very strict Internet copyright provisions of SOPA were revealed to the public, and the American people loudly expressed their displeasure to members of Congress. But now the provisions of SOPA are back. Most of them have reportedly been very quietly inserted into this treaty. If this treaty is enacted, those provisions will become law and the American people will not be able to do a thing about it. And according to an article in the New York Times, there are all sorts of other disturbing things that have been slipped into this treaty And yet another leak revealed that the deal would include even more expansive incentives to relocate domestic manufacturing offshore than were included in Nafta a deal that drained millions of manufacturing jobs from the American economy. Are you starting to grasp why the Obama administration is so determined to keep this treaty such a secret? In addition, this free trade agreement will push the ongoing deindustrialization of America into overdrive. Every year, we buy hundreds of billions of dollars more stuff from the rest of the world than they buy from us. Tens of thousands of American businesses have been lost as a result, and millions of good jobs have been shipped overseas. If you are not familiar with our trade deficit, you really should be. It is one of the issues at the very heart of our economic problems. Posted below is a short3-minute video that briefly discusses the trade deficit and why it is so important Slowly merging our economy with the rest of the planet has been absolutely disastrous for America. Just consider the following statistics -Overall, the United States has run a trade deficit of more than 8 trillion dollars with the rest of the world since 1975. -The United States has lost more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities since 2001. -Back in the year 2000, there were more than 17 million Americans working in manufacturing. Now there are less than 12 million. -There are less Americans working in manufacturing today than there was in 1950 even though the population of the country has more than doubled since then. -Back in 1950, more than 80 percent of all men in the United States had jobs. Today, less than 65 percent of all men in the United States have jobs. -When NAFTA was pushed through Congress in 1993, the United States had a trade surplus with Mexico of 1.6 billion dollars. By 2010, we had a trade deficit with Mexico of 61.6 billion dollars. -Back in 1985, our trade deficit with China was approximately 6 million dollars (million with a little m) for the entire year. In 2012, our trade deficit with China was 315 billion dollars. That was the largest trade deficit that one nation has had with another nation in the history of the world. -According to the Economic Policy Institute, America is losing half a million jobs to China every single year. -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. Once upon a time, our great manufacturing cities were the envy of the entire planet. In fact, at one time Detroit actually had the highest per capita income in the United States. But now Detroit is a rotting, decaying, festering hellhole that is completely bankrupt. And there are dozens of other formerly great manufacturing cities that are heading down the exact same path. These free trade agreements are neither free nor fair when you really examine them, and they are absolutely eviscerating the middle class. Please urge your representatives in Congress to block the Trans-Pacific Partnership. If this treaty does get approved, it is going to make a lot of our problems a whole lot worse.

2	These Major Retailers Ban Confederate Flag And Then THIS Happens In the wake of the shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, SC, the Confederate flag has come under fire, and is being painted as a symbol of human bondage and slavery. Over the past few days, the Confederate flag has been stripped of its historical meaning and painted as a symbol of racism and oppression. Several government officials have been calling for its removal. Democrat Governor Terry McAuliffe of Virginia ordered that the flag be removed from license plates. Political leaders in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Maryland promised to follow suit. Several other states have also taking action, removing flags from Capitol grounds or other state buildings. Major retailers have also decided to remove the flags from their stores. Unfortunately for them, this has had an adverse effect. Lets not forget that there are many who are defending the flag as a symbol not of racism, but rather of Southern pride. As a result, small, independent stores selling the flag have seen a spike in sales. CNN has been tracking these small shops. Freddie Rich, owner of the Rebel Store in North Carolina claimed that the sales are something he never envisioned. His small shop was able to sell nearly 200 flags in 24 hours. In fact, he had to write a note to his customers informing them of delays, because they received more than 3,000 orders in a day. What do you think? Do you support the true meaning of the flag? 
1	A new Osama bin Laden videotape acquired by CNN from Al-Jazeera features three previously unreleased anti-U.S. rants and harangues by the terrorist leader, excited network sources said Monday. 'One piece goes on for 45 minutes and is entirely about the need to bring down the Great Satan,' CNN spokesman Gil Eckert said. 'In another, shorter piece, he's sitting in a dank cave, cryptically telling some guy off camera about the 'great victory' Allah will enjoy in the very near future.' The eagerly anticipated tape, the first new material from bin Laden in more than two months, hits video stores Tuesday.

3	Sen. Jeff Merkley reportedly planning to push amendment repealing Monsanto Protection ActMadison Ruppert A Merkley aide told the Huffington Post that Merkley will be pushing to get a floor vote on his amendment when the farm bill is taken up by the Senate next week. Monsanto has won some major victories lately, not the least of which was the Monsanto Protection Act. The agricultural giant recently had the Supreme Court side with them over a landmark patent lawsuit and as a result, backed their notorious licensing agreement. Just two days ago, a WikiLeaks cable revealed that Monsanto actually lobbied on the American taxpayers dime, further inflaming anti-Monsanto sentiment. Yet the rider was even opposed on the floor of the Senate itself by Sen. John Tester (D-Mont.). The United States Congress is telling the Agricultural Department that even if a court tells you that youve failed to follow the right process and tells you to start over, you must disregard the courts ruling and allow the crop to be planted anyway, Tester said. Surprisingly, Monsanto has had one recent setback. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently announced that they ordered additional environmental impact statements for Monsantos new herbicide-resistant crops. In response to the increasingly massive popular opposition to Monsanto, the corporations chairman and CEO Hugh Grant claimed that the critics are guilty of reverse elitism. If Grant is right, that would mean that the thousands of people in countries around the world participating in the March Against Monsanto on May 25 are all guilty of ruining the opportunity to feed the world. This place is getting busier and more crowded, Grant said. As long as youve got money in your back pocket and you drive your station wagon to the supermarket on weekends, then its out of sight out of mind, so far. Grim writes that the farm bill rider was actually in response to federal courts recently ruling that the U.S. Department of Agriculture had failed to consider the potential harm some genetically engineered crops may have, and acted too hastily in approving their sale. The industry fought back with the farm bill rider, preventing the enforcement of court rulings, Grim wrote. If Merkley is successful, that could be completely reversed and companies like Monsanto could indeed be held accountable. Given the sheer size of the opposition to Monsanto, which appears to only be growing across the political spectrum, Merkleys quest very well may be a winnable one. You can contact Merkley to show your support by calling his Washington D.C. office at (202) 224-3753 or finding the numbers for his offices in Bend, Eugene, Medford, Pendleton, Portland and Salem on his website. You can also send a comment through this form but letter writing and calling tends to have a much greater impact.

3	In the Silk Road Case, Dont Blame the TechnologyParker Higgins The increased attention on this technology is a good reminder about how important it is not to blame these tools for the actions of a small portion of their users. The public wouldnt tolerate a campaign to malign the car because of its utility as a getaway vehicle for bank robbers; we must apply the same critical thinking to essential privacy-preserving technology. In certain parts of the complaint, even the federal agent behind the investigation and the Justice Department attorney in charge of the case acknowledge this. In describing how Tor was required to access the Silk Road (the site was configured as a Tor hidden service), they state that Tor has known legitimate uses. Similarly, Bitcoins are not illegal in and of themselves and have known legitimate uses. Elsewhere the complaint goes astray. For example, it asserts that the suspects efforts to hide the identities of those that run Silk Road reflect his awareness of the illegal nature of the Silk Road enterprise. Of course, that explanation overlooks the countless lawful reasons why a person would want to engage in anonymous speechand in the process hide the identities of those behind the technical infrastructurethat dont involve breaking the law. Its essential that the use of encryption, anonymization techniques, and other privacy practices is not deemed a suspicious activity. Rather, it must be recognized as an essential element for practicing freedom of speech in a digital environment. In some ways, the complaint provides encouragement to those who depend on this technology to engage in speech privately and anonymously. After all, it was human error, and the chance discovery of nine fake ID cards in a routine package inspection at the border, that led to the final round of investigation. This summers revelations about the NSAs subverting certain cryptographic technologies have definitely heightened fears in the security community. Although there are still some unanswered questions about the investigation, its a small relief that, for now, those fears werent confirmed by the criminal complaint. The point remains, however, that relegating these technologies by associating them only with their criminal use threatens to undermine their ability to enable important, lawful speech. Unfortunately, weve witnessed that sort of demonization of technology before. Weve seen it in attempts to target peer-to-peer protocols because they can be used for copyright infringement; in the outrageous stacking of penalties that can result in decades of possible prison time for violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act; in the original Crypto Wars of the 1990s and their reprise today; and in many other places besides. The allegations against the Silk Road are serious, and may get even more so as the case progresses to formal charges and a trial. But if the government puts undue weight on the suspects use of technology, instead of the actual crimes of which he is accused, the public will be worse off for it. RELATED ACTIVIST POST ARTICLE: 
2	BREAKING: DOJ Moves To Make The Confederate Flag Illegal Last summer, liberals declared war on the Confederate flag, claiming it was a symbol of racism that no longer had a place in America. Since then, weve seen numerous pushes to remove the Confederate flag from sight. Now, The Smoking Gun reports that the Justice Department has started using the symbol (an important part of Southern history) as evidence of racial bias. The case in question involves Charles Butler, 33, and Robert Paschalis, 25, who are being charged with a hate crime after beating a man up for being African-American. Make no mistake, these men are racist and deserve punishment for their actions. That is not what is in question here. Instead, we should be worried about how the Justice Department identified them. In an affidavit, the FBI detailed evidence that supposedly shows that Butler was a racist. His Facebook page had photos of Adolph Hilter, burning crosses, Nazi war eagles, Aryan Nationalist Alliance logos, Confederate flags, the Ku Klux Klan, references to President Obama as a monkey, and various white pride symbols, the affidavit reads. The Confederate Flag should not be grouped with Hitler and the Ku Klux Klan. This is a piece of American history, and is not a symbol of racism or hatred. What do you think? 
1	The entire field of sabermetrics was thrown into a frenzied panic Thursday after a previously undocumented at bat from former St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lou Brock on August 3, 1975 forced sabermetricians to completely rethink their understanding of the sport of baseball. So if you plug Brocks 3-2 count and ground out into the OPS formula, the standard deviation and expected value for every single player and team is completely offgoddammit, none of this makes sense now, said visibly anxious Society for American Baseball Research sabermetrician Tony Branham, sweating profusely as he pored over thousands of pages of statistics from the last 30 MLB seasons. The Total Pitcher Index, Wins Above Replacement, Batter-Fielder Wins, batting averages, ERAs, RBIsthat one third-inning at bat against the Cubs makes all of this stuff meaningless. How the hell does baseball work? At press time, based on the new understanding of sabermetrics, Braham confirmed that former New York Yankees centerfielder Mickey Mantle did not actually exist. 
3	Philanthropy: A Public Relations Exercise for Eugenicists?By Steven MacMillan Bill Gates, the co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation whose father was the former head of Planned Parenthood, is one of the most prominent philanthropists in the world in addition to being a known eugenicist. Eugenics is defined by Oxford dictionaries as: The science of improving a population by controlled breeding to increase the occurrence of desirable heritable characteristics. Sir Francis Galton, an English sociologist, geologist and meteorologist who was also Charles Darwins half-cousin, coined the term eugenics in the 1880s. The idea of eugenics and selective human breeding stretches back to at least the ancient Greeks, however, long before Galton and Darwin. In Platos classical philosophical text The Republic (which many see as one of the earliest totalitarian books in documented history), he discusses the concept of selective human breeding. Plato writes in the dialogue: We must, if we are to be consistent, and if were to have a real pedigree herd, mate the best of our men with the best of our women as often as possible, and the inferior men with the inferior women as seldom as possible, and bring up only the offspring of the best. (p. 171 of the Penguin Classics second edition) Obviously not everyone who operates a philanthropic organisation is a eugenicist, as many small enterprises are truly altruistic endeavours ran by honourable individuals. However, the majority of the giant so-called philanthropic organisations such as the Rockefeller Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are the inversion of true philanthropy. Vaccines and Population Control Gates has repeatedly called for population control and his foundation has been pushing cancerous GMO foods in addition to dangerous vaccines across the planet for years. In a 2010 TED speech, Gates reveals his desire to reduce the population of the planet by 10 or 15 percent in the coming years through such technologies as vaccines: First weve got population. The world today has 6.8 billion people; thats heading up to about 9 billion. Now if we do a really good job on new vaccines, health care [and] reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent. (4.30 into the video) The Gates foundation is currently being investigated by the Supreme Court of India due to 7 children dying and 120 experiencing adverse side effects after receiving the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine. Many of the consent forms were illegally signed by youth workers, demonstrating the corrupt nature of many of these vaccination programs. Controversy surrounding the safety of vaccines is no isolated incident, as the examples of people having adverse or fatal reactions to vaccines are ubiquitous. This year, two babies died and 29 children were hospitalized after been given vaccines for tuberculosis, rotavirus and Hepatitis B in Southern Mexico. Last year, 13 people died in Italy after receiving the flu shot manufactured by the Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis. Earlier this year, the Kenya Catholic Doctors Association (KCDA) accused UNICEF and the World Health Organisation (WHO) of sterilizing millions of girls and women through an anti-tetanus vaccination program. The KCDA claims the vaccines had an undeclared anti-fertility agent added to them, although the government denies this accusation. Dr. Muhame Ngare, the spokesperson for the KCDA stated that this WHO campaign is not about eradicating neonatal tetanus, but a well-coordinated forceful population control mass sterilization exercise using a proven fertility regulating vaccine. Since April 2005, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UKhas received 22,000 spontaneous suspected adverse drug reaction (ADR) reports from 13 vaccination categories, ranging from the HPV vaccine to the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. This number is only a small fraction of the actual adverse reactions experienced, however, as the MHRA estimates only 10% of ADRs are reported. Whether you believe in the science of vaccines or not, it is quite evident that many vaccines in their present form are dangerous to human health. The Rockefeller Foundation and the Nazis Gates joins the likes of David Rockefeller and other elitists as believers in the philosophy of eugenics, with the Rockefeller Foundation having a long history of funding eugenics in America and abroad. The Rockefeller Foundation and the Carnegie Institution were strong supporters of the eugenics movement in the US in the early 1900s, leading California to perform at least 1,278 coercive sterilizations in 1933 alone, according to the SFGate. The Rockefeller Foundation also infamously helped found the Nazi eugenics program, donating what amounts to millions of dollars in todays money to the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, in addition to funding the early work of the Angel of Death, Josef Mengele. As researchers such as Jurriaan Maessan have previously documented, the Rockefeller Foundation reveals in their 1968 yearly report that one of their main objectives is the reduction of birth rates: During the past ten years, considerable progress has been made in these countries in organizing, and setting up the administrative and technical machinery required to provide mass birth control services. These are clearly essential steps toward control of population growth, although far removed from the eventual goal of reduction of birth rates, which have as yet begun to decline in only a few countries. (p. 60) The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation often works in conjunction with the Rockefeller Foundation, with both foundations launching an initiative in 2006 to contribute to a Green Revolution in Africa that [they claim] will dramatically increase the productivity of small farms. This Green Revolution will undoubtedly attempt to force toxic genetically modified (GMO) foods on the African continent, as the Gates Foundation acquired 500,000 shares in Monsanto in 2010. Most of todays Western elite also subscribe to the belief in social Darwinism, a somewhat similar theory to eugenics, which Merriam-Webster dictionary defines as: A sociological theory that sociocultural advance is the product of intergroup conflict and competition and the socially elite classes (as those possessing wealth and power) possess biological superiority in the struggle for existence. In a 2008 book titled Superclass by David Rothkopf, the former managing director of Kissinger Associates and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Rothkopf documents some of the glaring contradictions in the activities of one of the most renowned philanthropic names in modern history, Andrew Carnegie. A Scottish American industrialist who made his fortune by building the Carnegie Steel Company before selling it to J.P. Morgan in the early 1900s, Carnegie moved into the field of philanthropy in the latter part of his life. Some of his philanthropic projects included the building of libraries and universities in addition to founding such think tanks as the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. As Rothkopf documents, Carnegie was a strong believer in the theory of social Darwinism, a theory which ran diametrically counter to his so-called philanthropic activities: While a champion of a just society and unfettered individual initiative and a noted philanthropist, he also embraced a social Darwinist view that justified his wealth and the struggles of those who worked for him. He fancied himself as a hero of the working man but tacitly approved one of the most violent attacks on strikers in American history, in which more than one hundred were injured and thirteen killed. He gave away hundreds of millions but slashed workers salaries, offering to many just the barest necessities of life. (p.100) Rothkopf continues: Carnegies record of philanthropic generosity is remarkable and stands in stark contrast to his unwillingness to share any of his gains with his employees. Though he wrote passionately about the right to form unions, he forced workers at one of his plants to renounce unionization in writing. While families in Pittsburgh had to earn $600 a year to stay out of debt, he paid many of his employees less than $400 annually. The lowest workers made $300, almost ten times less than Carnegie. It is a waste of time to criticize the inevitable [gap between the classes], he wrote in an essay titled Wealth in 1889. According to his social Darwinist views, the concentration of the riches among the few resulted from the unequal distribution of talent. (p.102) Rothkopf adds: Is it a contradiction that the brutally competitive like Carnegie or Bill Gates, who crushed competitors like bugs might then become so intently and productively philanthropic? Or is their embrace of charity just another way of exercising power and ensuring their legacy with a clear conscience? (p. 103) If we need any more evidence that modern-day philanthropy is largely corrupted by pernicious individuals, last year Tony (the war criminal) Blair was crowned the philanthropist of the year by GQ. I guess we should just add that to the list of other Orwellian awards he has received in recent years, most notably his global legacy award from none other than Save the Children. Under the PR banners of philanthropy and humanitarianism, eugenicists and their foundations have been funding malevolent projects which many believe are aimed at population control. Exposing their true nature is the only antidote to their malicious agenda.

2	Head Of CIA Reveals THIS About Americas War With ISIS In Exclusive Interview R. James Woolsey, the former director of the CIA, gave an exclusive interview offering his take on the ISIS situation. In his own words: Im not sure much is preventing [a Paris-style] operation from happening here, and ISIS has said theyre coming after Washington, D.C., next, Woolsey said. I would be surprised if a couple or three weeks go by and nothing happens. This man has decades of experience under his belt. It would be a little more than wise to trust what he says. And overseas, we need to go on the attack. We need to destroy ISIS at home, and we need to do it quickly. This man obviously knows what he is saying. Obama could take a lesson from him. I think that, where people can carry weapons legally or at least leave them home legally and have filled out all the proper forms, then people ought to think seriously about arming themselves in these circumstances, Woolsey said. This is a true American patriot. Do you think Americans should arm themselves at home and go on the offensive overseas? 
2	Megyn Kelly Bill OReilly At War After She Slams Him On National TV [VIDEO] Over the past few months, Megyn Kelly has been the center of controversy for her feud with GOP frontrunner Donald Trump. Trump has publicly criticized Kelly for targeting him in an attempt to spike ratings, while Fox maintains that it is all part of the campaigning process. Now, it appears that this disagreement is causing even more complications with Fox News. Bill OReilly and Megyn Kelly are now butting heads over the growing tension with Trump and Kellys increasing popularity. Amid conflicts, Kellys ratings have actually skyrocketing, and shes become the center of attention. That spot used to be occupied by OReillywho actually contributed to Kellys success in the first place. If youre not live at nightbecause the show before me and the show after me are tapedyou lose a lot, Kelly claimed on Stephen Colberts late-night show following the Super Bowl. The comment definitely targeted OReilly, whose show appears three hours before it goes on air. Theyre at each others throats big time, one Fox insider told New York Magazine. I mean, like big time. That means that Fox News had a tough job on their handsand settling the situation with two strong personalities isnt something that can be put off for long. 
3	New York Police Department opens a new branch in Kfar Saba, IsraelMadison Ruppert, Contributor Yes, the NYPD, the same department which recently shot nine innocent bystanders in the course of taking out one murderer, employs officers who have detained people for dancing, has thrown an officer in a psychiatric ward for reporting widespread corruption, and even conducted completely illegal spying operations far outside their jurisdiction. The NYPD has also been busted for their widespread illegal surveillance of Muslims, labeling people who film police professional agitators and even for falsely inflating their counterterrorism record. The above are just a few examples among countless others showing the NYPD to be a corrupt, deplorable entity which apparently has no problem with going far beyond the legal limits. Now the NYPD has made all their past activities look almost reasonable by actually opening up a branch in Israel supposedly in order to strengthen the NYPDs ties with the Israeli security forces according to the Maariv newspaper (non-translated version here) in Israel. The Times of Israel reports, the prestigious police force was looking to cooperate on a daily basis with the Israel Police, one of the main police forces worldwide with which NYPD has strong ties. The NYPDs Israeli branch is to be headed up by veteran NYPD detective Charlie Ben-Naim. Ben-Naim reportedly is of Israeli origin and married a native New Yorker after traveling to New York to study. He later decided to join the NYPD while maintaining close ties to Israel. In concert with the Israeli police, it was decided that Ben-Naim would not work out of the United States embassy but actually from a building of the Sharon District Police headquarters, situated close to the Kfar Sava station. They even went as far as to hang the NYPD sign at the entrance of the district headquarters with one wall bearing a sign reading, New York Police Department, the best police department in the world. One must wonder what a domestic police force in the United States has expanded into a foreign country, but unfortunately it is not just Israel which houses intelligence liaison offices for the NYPD. Indeed, according to an article published in the SpyTalk blog on The Washington Post in 2010, the NYPD had opened intelligence division liaison offices in a whopping 11 countries. In the article, the author Jeff Stein noted many concerns about the lack of oversight and accountability for the NYPD officers stationed abroad. Furthermore, he noted the fact that the foundation that actually funds the NYPD intelligence divisions International Liaison Program (ILP) has a striking lack of transparency. The ILP is actually supported by private donations through the New York Police Foundation and the foundation will not disclose how much they have actually given to the NYPD beyond stating that they sought to raise $1.5 million for the program in 2010 alone. The NYPD refuses to state if or how much of their $178 million intelligence and counterterrorism budget goes towards placing officers in foreign countries and the New York City Council member himself tasked with police oversight barely knows anything about the ILP. The council member, Peter Vallone, Jr., doesnt even know the full budget allocated to the ILP and when asked if it was fair to say that he had no idea what the ILP was actually spending he replied, thats fair. But my main concern is their use of taxpayer funds here in NYC, according to Stein. Leonard Levitt, former veteran police reporter for Newsday, called it a mini-CIA, adding, There are no safeguards to ensure that the NYPD doesnt break the law. Even the former head of the FBI Office of International Operations from 2004 to 2008, Thomas Fuentes, called the ILP a complete waste of money. Laura Rozen puts it well in writing that one of the major concerns is, that the NYPD intelligence division operates overseas entirely outside the chain of command, or oversight, of US federal agencies. Indeed, this is quite troubling and the fact that a domestic police agency is operating overseas seems outright absurd, yet it doesnt seem to bother anyone enough to actually bring this issue to light and question the legitimacy of the practice. Hopefully this latest revelation will help push Americans, and especially New Yorkers, to begin demanding increased transparency and scrutiny.

3	Smart Meter Rate Increase DEFEAT Activism Pennsylvania StyleBy Catherine J. Frompovich According to the PA Attorney Generals website, TheOffice of Consumer Advocatewas established to represent the interests of consumers before the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, and comparable federal agencies and focuses primarily on the interests of residential consumers in those proceedings. Until the advent of the Office of Consumer Advocate in 1976, residential consumers often went unrepresented in utility rate and service cases because the technical knowledge and financial resources needed for utility regulatory issues could not be afforded by individual consumers. The Consumer Advocate has the authority to appeal PUC decisions all the way to the United States Supreme Court. The Commonwealth Attorneys Act directs the Attorney General to appoint a Consumer Advocate subject to confirmation by a majority of the State Senate. The Consumer Advocate acts independently in certain administrative proceedings and/or staffing matters (subject to the Attorney Generals approval). The Consumer Advocate has a budget separate from the Attorney Generals funded by an assessment on utility companies similar to the process for funding of the Public Utility Commission. [1] Nancy Colbert decided, after reading the insert that came with my April bill from peco telling me to file a formal complaint after reading their proposal to puc, to send a letter of complaint to the PA Consumer Advocate, which I include below with Nancy Colberts written permission. June 21, 2016 Tanya J. McCloskey, Consumer Advocate Re: Formal Complaint against peco default service procurement plan Ms McCloskey: I received notice of pecos important information about future electric rates in my April 2016 billing which referred to its website and to file a complaint if necessary. I have read several documents and as a result, am addressing your office in your role as Consumer Advocate, under Consumer Protection Law, with copy to the puc secretary. This peco filing is addressed in legal and technical terms and processes to which the consumer has no access, privy, or training to understand. Thus, it renders no clear communication about our future rates. Worse, it addresses concepts as liability and indemnity, seemingly to declare and release peco and all third parties just like the pharmaceutical companies have procured with their ever increasing dosages of unscientifically verified vaccines while simultaneously we have the most chronically diseased generation of children progressively crippling our society. Likewise, the burden of all cost and damage in both cases is upon the shoulders of the poor suckers suffering violation of property and all inherent rights of true Law, similar to all the customers homes damaged by smart meter fires, especially when utility members prevented the fire chief from investigating. ARE WE LIVING IN AMERI-CHINA? [CJF emphasis added] Already we suffer from fake law of unpromulgated regulation (there was no legislative act to mandate smart meters, just read the hearings) which tries to force the consumer to roll over to presumed authority. Then the operators behind it deny, reject and ignore all the scientific evidence of their harmful technology while obstructing due process with exponential lies and increasing our rates to pay for it to harm ourselves. Clearly they have set themselves to obfuscate an unsuspecting public, which future correspondence will address under Consumer Protection Law since THIS IS AMERICA! True Law does not violate, harm and damage humanity to which all are accountable, no one escapes its justice in the end if they have willfully participated in its illegal acts. Utility commissions and providers were never invented for this purpose, but now for the money, they have descended into a pit of destruction. Come what may, what the hell, we special few are getting rich is their mindset. The time is now to execute your office to hold them accountable specifically now to inform in laymans terms their default plan especially since it most likely follows their pattern of deleterious dealings, omissions and commissions to reap BIG profit off the backs of the slaves they consider each customer to be, evidenced by the haughty and hateful way they treat us. At least more people are waking up to their nightmare which increases liability on those who perpetuate their own destruction. Most seriously and sincerely, Nancy Colbert To understand more fully Nancy Colberts reasoning behind her complaint, we have to take note of what state government reporter/journalist John Finnerty [2] talks about in his column Smart Meters Bring New Pricing Plan: [2] In some states, smart meters are indirectly tied to higher utility bills because of time-of-day pricing, said Pennsylvania Consumer Advocate Tonya McCloskey. Peak periods when prices are highest usually come during weekdays. Hagen-Frederiksen said time-of-day pricing is offered in Pennsylvania now only in pilot programs. As smart meters become more widespread, those programs will be replaced by plans available to more customers. PPL Electric Utilities offer a time-of-day pricing option. [2] Starting the dishwasher, plugging in a hair-dryer or flicking on a light switch will register with utilities almost instantly when their customers are monitored by state-of-the-art electric meters. The technology itself wont translate into higher energy bills, say consumer advocates, lawmakers and industry officials. [Do you notice who are making those claims?] But it does allow utilities to charge based on the time of day, with higher rates for running appliances or the air conditioning when demand is greatest. [Will you want to do laundry at 2AM or run your dishwasher then in order not to get sky-high power bills? Arent they high enough NOW, as it is?] Its rather very interesting that Consumer Advocate McCloskey had this to say, There are some people who arent going to be able to turn down their air conditioning during the day. However, Reporter Finnerty claims McCloskey said time-of-day pricing should remain optional. Unfortunately, consumers cant take that as gospel truth because I remember when utilities were promoting nuclear power: It would be too cheap to meter and there would be no need for electric meters on your house! [3] What happened to that pie-in-the-sky marketing, bait-and-switch strategy, so now we have AMI Smart Meters and peak period power pricing! Whoaaaaa! Rip-off-utilities and their governmental lackeys! Thats why I think Nancy Colberts complaint letter is a lesson to utility consumers everywhere to follow and emulate regarding AMI Smart Meters Price Increase Rates, plus having to pay for those dumb AMI Smart Meters whenever they are retrofitted on to our services, since they last only five to seven years. What a rip-off and consumers are letting utilities and state agencies get away with it. Consumers everywhere, WAKE UP, and take back your power!

3	Kiev has right to use airstrikes against civilians to defend sovereignty - PsakiYoutube 
3	The Real Reason The US Is Bombing IraqBrandon Turbeville At least two waves of airstrikes against a variety of targets have already taken place inside Iraq. One of the airstrikes apparently struck an IS mortar position and an IS convoy near Erbil. IS fighters had advanced to within a half hours distance from Erbil, the capital of Iraqs Kurdish region. According to a Pentagon spokesman, two FA-18s that took off from an aircraft carrier in the Gulf were involved in the airstrike. Obama stated that the strikes were necessary to prevent genocide, to protect Christians and other religious minorities whose lives are in danger, and to halt the IS advance. The airstrikes are the first that have been authorized in Iraq by the United States since 2011. What is notable, however, are the circumstances surrounding the initiation of the bombing and what may have prompted American military action now, after allowing ISIS (entirely funded, directed, created, and armed by the West notably the United States) to seize vast swaths of territory across Iraq. Why bomb Iraq now you might ask? And why bomb the area surrounding Erbil? The answers to this question lie in the simple fact that the area surrounding Erbil the Kurdish region of Iraq is a hub for US oil companies. In fact, Erbil, a city of 1.5 million people is largely viewed as the administrative center for the Kurdish regional oil industry and a quarter of Iraqs oil production nationally. The oil reserves are so large in this region that Kurds often claim that, if they were to break off from Iraq and establish their own country, the new nation would stand as the ninth largest oil producer in the world. As John B. Judis writes for the New Republic, The threat to oil production facilities posed by the IS was reported in a number of other media outlets in addition to the New Republic and the Wall Street Journal. It was not only American companies, however, that were concerned about their ability to continue production. British oil companies were beginning to evacuate personnel as well. As Nigel Wilson of the International Business Times wrote, With this information in mind, it might perhaps become more clear to those who cannot understand why the United States would fund IS terrorists into power and initiate a bombing campaign against them shortly thereafter. 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. When these proxy armies begin to endanger oil production or any other project of the world oligarchy, however, they are eliminated and the threat that they pose is neutralized. 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.

'Chris deserves to be commended for his selfless act, as many players would have just stood and watched while the out-of-control ball flew helplessly into the stands,' league commissioner David Stern said while presenting Paul with the NBA Medal of Valor, basketball's second-highest civilian honor, for his bravery during the Apr. 8 game against the Phoenix Suns.'I don't even want to think about what would have happened if Chris wasn't there. But thankfully he was, and he prevented the tragic loss of a key possession late in the game.' Paul said that he has not seen or talked with the ball since saving it from going out of bounds.

'His technique is nearly perfect, but I can't even warm up without him barreling across the field and sliding into the pitcher's mound,' said Cardinals starter Brad Penny, adding that a suds-covered Pujols also slid into him several times last week during a postgame shower. 'I'm worried he'll wear himself out by sliding into the on-deck circle over and over again. And there's no reason he should be sliding into the St. Louis Arch.'

3	The Big Picture Hasnt Changed: Dont Get Sucked Back Into the Stock MarketBy Justin Spittler Today, the SP 500 hit a new all-time high. It topped 2,130 for the first time since May 2015. The benchmark index is now up 6.9% over the past two weeks. All good, right? It might seem that wayif we were only analyzing U.S. stocks. The thing is, in nearly every other market, stocks are still headed lower: And thats not all. If youve been reading the Dispatch, you know the global economy is not in good shape. Corporate earnings are falling. Stocks are expensive. GDP growth is stalling. So why are U.S. stocks making new highs? Today, we take a look at the big picture to help you make sense of the markets mixed signals. As youll see, right now is a dangerous time to get back into stocks The Labor Department released a strong jobs report on Friday. The U.S. economy created 287,000 jobs last month. Thats the most in eight months. Stocks rallied on the news. The SP 500 jumped 1.5%. The Dow rose 1.4%. And the NASDAQ rose 1.64%. Many investors saw the strong jobs report as proof that the economy is doing OK. But the jobs report is a noisy indicator. It fluctuates a lot from one month to the next. This makes it unreliable. As you may remember, U.S. companies hired just 38,000 workers in May. That was the fewest workers added in one month since 2010. Thats why you often need to take a step back to understand how an economy is really doing. Over the weekend, Barrons explained that U.S. companies are still hiring at one of the slowest rates in two years: With a small downward revision to April and May, employment gains in the April-June quarter averaged just 147,000. Except for the three months from March through May, when the gain ran 114,000, 147,000 is the slowest three-month increase since February 2014. But thats not the only reason to be skeptical of this rally If youve been reading the Dispatch, you know the recent Brexit triggered a crash in European banks. Many of these banks are now down more than 50% over the past year. Swiss banking giant Credit Suisse (CS) has plunged 57% since last July. Deutsche Bank (DB), Germanys biggest lender, is down 54%. The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) is down 52%. But its not just European banks that are struggling. Major banks across the world are now trading like a major crisis is on the way. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (MTU), Japans biggest bank is down 38% over the past year. U.S. banking giant Citigroup (C) is down 24%. The weak global economy is a major reason why banks are struggling to make money. Its hurt demand for loans, which is how many banks make most of their money. Low interest rates are also starving banks of income. Regular readers know low rates have taken over the world. According to MarketWatch, global interest rates are at the lowest level in 5,000 years. With rates near all-time lows, banks are making less money on every loan they make. Thats because many of these stocks are trading at the lowest prices in years. Some have never been cheaper. But that doesnt mean they cant get even cheaper still. According to The Wall Street Journal, the recent selloff could trigger another leg down in bank stocks: Sharp share-price falls will make it much more difficult, and expensive, for banks to raise capital if that is what is ultimately needed to shore up their balance sheets. Just as bad, a serious decline in market value can breed inaction among bank executives. Instead of selling equity when they can, executives may wait for share prices to recover, only to find themselves in a worse situation as stocks drop even further. We see an even bigger reason to avoid bank stocks. Italian banks have more than 360 billion worth of bad loans (ones trading for less than their book value). Thats equal to about one-fifth of the countrys annual economic output. Italian banks are in worse shape than U.S. banks were before the 2008 financial crisis. The Wall Street Journal reported last week: In Italy, 17% of banks loans are sour. That is nearly 10 times the level in the U.S., where, even at the worst of the 2008-09 financial crisis, it was only 5%. Among publicly traded banks in the eurozone, Italian lenders account for nearly half of total bad loans. The situation at Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena SpA, the countrys third biggest bank, is so bad that the company assigned a team of 700 people to deal with its bad loans. Last Tuesday, Bloomberg Business warned that the company is at high risk of default. The cost of insuring Italys biggest lenders soared and bonds fell. Credit-default swaps on subordinated bonds of Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena SpA surged to a record and now signal a 63 percent probability of default within five years. Monte Paschis stock has plunged 83% over the past year. Last week, the government banned short-selling of Monte Paschis stock. Regulators hope this ban will keep Monte Paschis stock from crashing. The Italian government is also thinking about pumping 40 billion into its fragile banking system. These emergency measures wont fix anything. At best, theyll buy Italy time. But years of weak economic growth and destructive government policies will eventually cause Italys banking system to collapse. And because Italy is the fourth largest country by GDP in Europe, a banking crisis would almost certainly spread to the rest of Europe. Soros, who is one of historys greatest traders, warned that European banks would be severely tested going forward. Deutsche Banks top economist also thinks Italys crumbling banking system could create problems for the rest of Europe. Bloomberg Business reported yesterday: Europe is extremely sick and must start dealing with its problems extremely quickly, or else there may be an accident, Deutsche Banks David Folkerts-Landau said, according to the newspaper. Im no doomsday prophet, I am a realist. According to Bloomberg, Folkerts-Landau believes Europe urgently needs a 150 billion-euro ($166 billion) bailout fund to recapitalize its beleaguered banks. Again, pumping money into Europes fragile banking system wont solve any problems. It would be like putting a Band-Aid on a gunshot wound. AsDispatchreaders know, gold is the ultimate safe haven. Thats because its real money. Its preserved wealth for thousands of years because it possesses a rare set of attributes: Its durable, easily divisible, and easy to transport.

Todays chart shows the performance of the MSCI World (ex USA) Index since the start of 2014. This index tracks the performance of stocks from around the world, excluding U.S. stocks. You can see the index peaked in July 2014 and has been falling ever since. Its now trading 21% below its 2014 high. According to the popular definition, a bear market begins when an index falls 20% from its high. By that measure, the rest of the global stock market is officially in bear market. So cute, in your inexperience. Dont you realize how it works yet. Its the entire basis of a Capitalist System! The Global Food Chain! When someone is selling it is generally because they are losing $$$. At the SAME time the ones buying are making $$$ off of your bad investments. Fluctuation of the stock market does not mean BAD necessarily. Good for some. Bad for others.

1	In a rare diplomatic trip overseas, first lady Michelle Obama's arms visited the largest refugee camp in Sri Lanka this week, bringing hope and comfort to countless victims of the nation's 26-year civil war. The first lady's limbs bring hope to the displaced masses. Emerging from a military helicopter flanked by Secret Service agents, and looking as sculpted as ever in a J. Crew sleeveless white blouse, Obama's limbs were welcomed by throngs of native Sri Lankans eager to catch a glimpse of their mesmerizing firmness. The arms, which showed no noticeable flab or unsightly sagging at any point during the trip, received a warm handshake from Sri Lankan human rights minister Mahinda Samarasinghe upon their arrival. 'I would like first to say how proud we are to have Mrs. Obama's arms in our beloved country,' said Samarasinghe, who referred to the limbs as both 'beautiful' and the 'epitome of class.' 'Hopefully their presence here, with their well-defined biceps and tank-top ready shoulders, will bring strength to the 265,000 citizens who have lost their homes.' 'Madam First Lady's arms, welcome to Sri Lanka,' Samarasinghe continued. 'You are even more impressive in person.' Following the ceremony, the arms were given a tour of the refugee camp at Manik Farm, a 1,400-acre plot of land once used for cultivating crops and now home to more than 200,000 displaced residents. While the arms toured the site, thousands of sick and starving refugees shouted, in Tamil, 'Help us, Beautiful Arms,' and 'Beautiful Arms, we love you.' The arms greet Sri Lankan leaders without even a hint of a jiggle. The refugees, still coming to terms with the scars of nearly three decades of civil unrest, later told reporters that they were awed by the dignity and grace of the limbs, most notably because they lacked the so-called 'bat-wing fat' that plagues many middle-aged arms. 'What is so impressive is that the arms are muscular, but not too muscular,' 17-year-old Nuwan Rasamay, who lost both of his parents in the war, told reporters. 'And once the arms see what is happening here, how the government is punishing those who are innocent, and see the chaos, they will surely help bring peace to the region. I know this, for they are incredible arms.' During their daylong tour, Obama's arms visited a field hospital for civilians who had been wounded in the conflict between the Sri Lankan army and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. The limbs were visibly moved at the sight of hundreds of severely malnourished children and hung limp after learning that many suffered from cholera and typhoid. In addition, when desperate refugees complained of overcrowding, lack of supplies, and fear of never seeing their families again, Obama's arms folded, demonstrating both resolve and compassion, and showing a hint of their full bicep muscles. 'When they approached me I was frightened because I am not used to seeing arms so well-defined,' refugee Delipia Selvaraj said. 'And when I learned that the arms were 45 years of age, I did not believe this. But as I got more comfortable being around them, I saw that they are not only strong, but loving arms. That is why I let them hold my 2-year-old daughter Lakshmi.' Added Selvaraj, 'I would give up everything, even our daily ration of bread, to have arms like that.' The Sri Lankan refugee crisis is the largest issue the first lady's arms have taken on so far. Though they made it clear that their primary role in the Administraion would be to stay at home and help raise their two young children, sources close to the limbs said that, after learning about those affected by the tragic war, the arms felt compelled to act. White House sources said the arms are free to carve out whatever policy niche they wish, be it getting more involved in domestic issues, or taking on the worldwide AIDS pandemic. 'I believe that Michelle Obama's arms can do extraordinary things for my country,' said Jaliya Wickramasuriya, Sri Lanka's ambassador to the United States. 'These are the kind of arms that can inspire our children to dream, that can inspire our children to believe thatdespite all the horrors of the worldthey too can someday grow up to have taut but feminine arms. Even if it means doing endless dumbbell curls and tricep push-downs five nights a week.' Wickramasuriya added that the arms' work in Sri Lanka could prove to be as significant as the resolution of the Cuban Missile Crisis by Jackie Kennedy's pillbox hat in 1962. 
3	Humans Fully Outsourced to Robots by 2045?Nicholas West With the rise of automation, a background debate echoes the idea of full spectrum human-machine integration. For those who might overlook the full theoretical endgame of the Singularity, including transhumanismand immortality, the economic singularity is showing itself already. The outsourcing of human jobs as a side effect of globalization has arguably contributed to the current unemployment crisis in the United States. However, a growing trend sees humans done away with altogether, even in those countries where U.S. jobs have landed, as a fully robotic workforce takes over curiously by the same singularity date of 2045 according to professor Moshe Vardi, a Rice University computer science professor. So what does this mean for the future of human relevance? Robot proponents have often cited the brutal working conditions of factory labor, inefficiency and corporate bottom lines as principal reasons for replacing humans. Human beings are slowly but surely becoming redundant in areas as diverse as manufacturing, product fulfillment, and even warfare. However, it is the rise of artificial intelligence which suggests that the former argument stating that humans could maintain positions requiring high skill and decision making may have been wishful thinking. Many computer science experts are beginning to conclude that complete human obsolescence in the workforce is a more likely outcome. According to Moshe Vardi, if current trends of computer development and human replacement continue, the traditional labor market will be a thing of the past as a consequence of machine intelligence. It is in the context of the Great Recession that people started noticing that while machines have yet to exceed humans in intelligence, they are getting intelligent enough to have a major impact on the job market. In their 2011 book, Race Against The Machine: How the Digital Revolution is Accelerating Innovation, Driving Productivity, and Irreversibly Transforming Employment and the Economy authors Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee, argued that technological progress is accelerating innovation even as it leaves many types of workers behind. Indeed, over the past 30 years, as we saw the personal computer morph into tablets, smartphones, and cloud computing, we also saw income inequality grow worldwide. While the loss of millions of jobs over the past few years has been attributed to the Great Recession, whose end is not yet in sight, it now seems that technology-driven productivity growth is at least a major factor. Such concerns have gone mainstream in the past year, with articles in newspapers and magazines carrying titles such as More Jobs Predicted for Machines, Not People, Marathon Machine: Unskilled Workers Are Struggling to Keep Up With Technological Change, Its a Man vs. Machine Recovery, and The Robots Are Winning. (Source) Until this point, as Vardi notes, humans have been competing with their own creations mainly at a level of brawn not brain. Yet, that is where the most significant changes are taking place in computational ability, giving rise to full-fledged artificial intelligence which threatens to overtake even the areas of skilled labor, as well as areas of traditional human-to-human services. We can see signs of this in the following areas, just to name a few: It is also often cited by robot and A.I. proponents that humans are destined for a life of leisure as our creations take over in order to assist us with the grunt work so that we can live tranquil lives of creative pursuits and peaceful philosophical endeavors. However, this was a common argument also made when the personal computer came on the scene. Most of us would agree that the personal computer definitely offered us increased efficiency and productivity but only so that we could work more, not less. At this point it doesnt seem like the outsourcing of human abilities to our robotic counterparts is leading us toward the life of leisure that has been promised, but instead is leading to the perception of humans as nothing more than a troubling quantity within a new economic algorithm. How can we ensure that we maintain relevance during a time of such rapid change? Professor Vardi offers the following as his concerns about leisure and human relevance: First, if machines can do almost all of our work, then it is not clear that even 15 weekly hours of work will be required. Second, I do not find the prospect of leisure-filled life appealing. I believe that work is essential to human well-being. Third, our economic system would have to undergo a radical restructuring to enable billions of people to live lives of leisure. Unemployment rate in the US is currently under 9 percent and is considered to be a huge problem. Technology always has been a double-edged sword. The possibilities presented by artificial intelligence and robotics hold massive positive potential that actually could challenge elite power structures. In the meantime, our economy is transforming away from human inefficiency and variability to a robot economythat is already showing itself as a threat to the viability of an increasing number of people. Without a massive paradigm shift in the ability for the average person to tap into the growing potential for a massive reduction in cost of goods and services, while still maintaining control over their own creations, the endgame is likely to be more grim than utopian. We are living in an extraordinary time where we are at the cusp of a massive change that has not been seen since the industrial revolution in its potential to impact nearly every person on the planet. Please leave your comments about what you conclude will be the outcome. Other sources: Interview with Moshe Vardi: RELATED ACTIVIST POST ARTICLES: Read other articles byNicholas West Here 
2	Group Of Black Kids Jump 13 Year Old White Boy Six black teens are facing possible assault charges after brutally attacking a white 13-year-old in what is believed to be a racially-charged incident. It is not looking good for the teens in question, given that the incident was captured on video by another teen who had previously been threatened by the group. The attack occurred in Norwood, Ohio, outside of the Holy Trinity Church festival. After the occasion, the teens surrounded the 13-year-old. Footage captured the group debating who was going to hit him first, when the teen was suddenly punched by one of the group members standing behind him. The violence quickly escalated, with the victim lying on the ground and getting pummeled by punches and kicks. Fortunately, a nearby adult intervened and the attackers scrambled. Although the boy did not report the crime, after the video leaked online his grandmother, Mary Baker, took him to the hospital. He was observed for a concussion and the police were able to identify six of the seven attackers responsible. Apparently someones not paying attention, Baker commented. You guys dont know what that videos like to watch when its your own kid. And I dont know how a parent can watch iteven the kids that did that. How could they watch that video and accept that? Lt. Ron Murphy of the Norwood Police Department confirmed that his unit plans to prosecute this case, along with any other cases that are posted on social media. What do you think? Do these kids need to face serious consequences for their actions? 
3	Up in My Grill: 4th of July RapReason 
1	In preparation for the upcoming school year, local mother Karen Dougherty, 43, has been working on some fresh and exciting new clothing options for her 10-year-old son, Michael, the excited mom told reporters Wednesday. 'Michael is at an age now where it's important that he not look just like all the other boys in school,' said Dougherty, who made a personal vow this summer to 'really push the envelope' in 2009. 'That's why this year I've made a number of fashionable but unique clothing choices for him that are sure to make the other fourth-graders take notice and say, 'Ooh, that looks smart.'' 'It's time to think outside the box,' she added. 'Pastels, anyone?' Dougherty, who is already well known among parents for the manner in which she dresses her son, believes that now is the perfect time to really turn heads by bringing out some of the more eye-catching color and fabric combinations Michael has previously been resistant to. 'Well, you know how boys are,' said Dougherty, as she carefully hemmed the cuffs on a pair of baby-blue corduroys. 'If Michael had his way, he'd probably run out the door every day in a T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. He doesn't understand that he'd make a much stronger impression on his classmates and teachers if he tried an outfit with more flair, like a nice mock turtleneck with a peach vest.' 'Oh, and I was thinking of getting him a little peacoat for the winter, too,' Dougherty continued. 'He'll look just like Ryan O'Neal in Love Story.' Over the past month, Dougherty has made her son accompany her on more than a dozen extended trips to local department stores and shopping malls, in search of colorful ensembles for schooltime and playtime that will 'reflect how special [Michael] is' and accentuate his 'handsome, round' face. 'Fourth grade is a great year for dressing boys because you can really do anything with them,' Dougherty told reporters waiting outside a Nordstrom dressing room as her son tried on the first of several prospective outfits. 'You can go Southwestern, nautical, even safari. I mean, why not? There are no rules, really, and I think Michael's look this year is going to reflect that.' Prodding her son toward a three-way mirror near the store's entrance, Dougherty checked the fit of a pair of single-pleat chinos the boy was wearing, frowning as she tugged at the waist and inseam of the pants. Dougherty said that, while her son still had 'a little baby fat' around the torso and thighs, she could work around the problem by dressing him in loose-fitting, blousy button-downs and adventurous-yet-flattering striped shorts. 'At this age, it's fine for him to run a size bigger, especially if he's wearing gingham, which is slimming,' remarked Dougherty, who noted that the plain-woven checked fabric is, according to Redbook, 'really chic right now.' 'Michael may be a little husky at the moment, but eventually he'll be tall and thin like his father, and then I can shop for them both at the same time.' Added Dougherty, 'Easy!' When reached for comment at his home Wednesday evening, Michael Dougherty told reporters he would like to be alone for a while and closed his bedroom door. 
3	Feds Say Oakland Cant Block Seizure of Harborside Medical Pot Dispensaryselfnews Post After losing a recent court judgement that said they couldnt evict Harborside under federal forfeiture, the Feds are now making the argument that the state and city cannot stand in their way of seizing the dispensary. Back in July, the federal government filedforfeiture proceedingsagainst the property that Harborside rents. Although Harborside has not violated any state laws, action by the Feds essentially forced the landlords Anna Chretien and Concourse Business Center to file eviction charges with the Feds. On Friday November 30th of this year a superior court ruled that Harborside cannot be evicted from their location simply because their product violates federal law. The granted stay of forfeiturewas seen as a huge victory for Harborside and for state sovereignty in a never-ending battle by the Feds. We are heartened by the robust support provided to Harborside by our elected officials and the California courts, said Harborsides co-founder Steve DeAngelo. The decision makes it clear that organizations that comply with state law deserve the protection of that law. For years, in medical cannabis cases, California state courts have followed a principle that cities should not be able to ask a state court to indirectly enforce federal controlled substance laws in a way that disadvantages cannabis patients and caregivers, said Harborsides lawyer, Henry Wykowski. However, this is the first opinion that extends that principle to private actors, such as landlords. In a brief, Justice Department attorney Kathryn Wyer writes: The brief further notes that the Controlled Substance Act applies to all states no matter if they have changed their own laws or not: Wyer even takes a swipe at the state and city for only sticking up for Harborside because it has received a windfall of millions of dollars in tax and sales revenues through the operation of illegal marijuana dispensaries within its borders. Indeed, Harborside has been a major benefit to the state of California and Oakland, as its estimated $20 million in annual sales operating as a non-profit have generated over $3 million is local and state taxes. Yet, apparently Wyer thinks that is a bad thing. Clearly the Feds have little respect for state rights, property rights, medical rights, and local sovereignty all of which are being tried in this case. Meanwhile, one of the most respected, lawful, and successful medical marijuana treatment centers is facing closure.

1	Following years of declining profits and lackluster attendance at its locations throughout the United States, the Statue of Liberty Corp. announced Thursday that the company will be shuttering all but its flagship statue in New York City. While the Statue of Liberty chain of historic statues has for years proudly welcomed visitors at sites across the country, we regrettably have no choice but to shut down all statues except for the one on Liberty Island, beginning next month with the Statues of Liberty in Boston, Dallas, and St. Cloud, Minnesota, Statue of Liberty Corp. CEO Richard Aguilar told reporters, confirming rumors that the struggling company would be closing all but one of the 2,700 colossal torch-bearing monuments that have become a familiar sight in almost every American city. In hindsight, the tremendous success of the first Statue of Liberty may have caused us to overextend beyond what the marketplace could bear. Now we need to do whats right for the Statue of Liberty brand and our shareholders. The downsizing of Statue of Liberty Corp. stands in stark contrast to the robust expansion enjoyed by Mount Rushmore Inc., which just last month unveiled new granite presidential monuments in New Orleans, Los Angeles, and Toronto. 
2	Donald Trump Just Absolutely Humiliated Hillary Clinton In This Amazing Way [VIDEO] Despite the entire backlash he has received for the controversial comments he made during his campaign announcement, presidential hopeful and legendary businessman Donald Trump is currently the frontrunner for the GOP nomination. Of course, this has only encouraged his competition to continue speaking out against him, and Hillary Clinton is topping the list. It was appalling to hear Donald Trump describe immigrants as drug dealers, criminals and rapists, Clinton told the National Council of La Raza. When people and business everywhere rejected his hateful comments, did he apologize? No. He doubled down. It is shameful and no one should stand for itI have just one word for Mr. Trump Basta! Enough. It did not take long for Trump to respond to Clintons remarks. Read his statement below and tell us what you think: Failing candidate Hillary Clinton, who is desperately trying to hold on to her lead in the democratic primary against Bernie Sanders, is knowingly putting out lies about my stance on illegal immigration. I said Mexico is sending Im not knocking immigration or immigrants, but rather am very critical of the country of Mexico for sending us people that they dont want. Likewise I am very critical of illegal immigration and the tremendous problems including crime, which it causes. She is desperate, she is sad, and she is obviously very nervous when she has to revert to issues that have already been settled given the absolute accuracy of my statement. She speaks about my tone and thats the problem with our countrys leaders. They are more worried about tone than results! Its not about being nice its about being competent. Hillary should spend more time producing her illegally hidden emails and less time trying to obfuscate a statement by me that is totally clear and obviously very much accepted by the public as true. I am honored, however, that she is attacking me, instead of Jeb Bush. Obviously she knows that Jeb is no longer her real competition. The last person she wants to face is Donald Trump. 
3	Dueling Economic Banjos Offer No DeliveranceBrandon Smith, Contributor Many in the general public are at the very least asking where is the root of the recovery? However, what they should really be asking is where is the trigger for collapse? Since 2007/2008, I and many other independent economic analysts have outlined numerous possible fiscal weaknesses and warning signs that could bring disaster if allowed to fully develop. What we find to our dismay here in 2012, however, is not one or two of these triggers coming to fruition, but nearly EVERY SINGLE conceivable Achilles heel within the foundation of our system raw and ready to snap at a moments notice. We are trapped on a river rapid leading to multiple economic disasters, and the only thing left for any sincere analyst to do is to carefully anticipate where the first hits will come from. Four years seems like a long time for global banks and government entities to subdue or postpone a financial breakdown, and an overly optimistic person might suggest that there may never be a sharp downturn in the markets. Couldnt we simply roll with the tide forever, buoyed by intermittent fiat injections, treasury swaps, and policy shifts? The answeris no. No economy has ever endured the circumstances that ours endures now without reaching a point of maximum tension; that inevitable moment when the structure can no longer hold under the weight of the cold hard fundamentals. Regardless how hard we try to paddle backwards, in the end, the boat WILL eventually tip over the waterfall, and the results will not be pretty. Dueling banjos and squealing piggies aside, there is an economic lesson to be learned here. Today, we are at the very onset of our own journey into the heart of darkness. The music is still playing, though growing fainter, and the sway of normalcy has begun to tilt in a perverse sort of way. The key is to see the financial pendulum for what it really is; an epic distraction away from the end game. Here are just a few apparent fiscal oppositions that give the impression of balance and semi-stability to the masses but which ultimately will lead to the same brand of calamity: Debt Vs. Inflation I remember when the debate over the need for the banker bailouts was still raging, before quantitative easing became the go-to stop-gap for U.S. markets. The primary argument used by deflationists and Keynesians was the assertion that with so much debt generated by the government and the derivatives bubble, inflation or hyperinflation was a near impossibility. The basis for this claim was not rooted in historical fact, but mere theory. No country that chooses to debase its own currency in the process of monetizing its own debt and the debt of its faulty business sector ever escapes from considerable inflation. Debt does not erase fiat creation, and it does not halt currency devaluation. Where this delusion first sprang from, I have no idea. Prices in the U.S. continue to rise, or have risen and refuse to return to levels common four years ago, while the debt vacuum grows relentlessly. More Americans are slated to face foreclosure in 2012 than in 2010 at the so called apex of the mortgage crisis: http://news.yahoo.com/americans-brace-next-foreclosure-wave-210253440.html Fannie and Freddie continue to lose billions to the housing bubble and continue to request bailouts quarter after quarter (apparently, no one told the government backed mortgage giants that we are in a housing recovery): http://www.forbes.com/sites/steveschaefer/2012/02/29/the-bank-bailouts-ugly-stepsister-fannie-mae-still-losing-billions/ U.S. debt obligations have exploded, with the official national debt standing at 100% of GDP. Leading to the least reported and probably most important news of the year so far; the second downgrade of Americas credit rating by Egan-Jones: http://news.yahoo.com/us-credit-rating-downgraded-again-050101872.html Some might argue that Egan-Jones is one of the smaller ratings agencies and so not as relevant to market psychology, but it was Egan-Jones that downgraded U.S. credit first back in 2011, heralding the later downgrade by SP. Is the small company ahead of the game, warning us of major credit troubles yet to come? Again, what has past experience shown us? The bottom line? Fiat easing has changed nothing. Debt is still on the rise, the housing markets continue to dissolve, and the only result has been high prices on goods across the board. There is NO battle between debt and inflation. These two consequences are working in tandem within our economic system in the form of stagflation, generating the worst possible environment for financial survival. Supply Vs. Demand The two most concrete indicators of economic destabilization are supply and demand. The problem is, with so many indexes and markets easily manipulated by the shifting of capital by major banks, it is extremely difficult to find honest data anywhere. When I wrote about the collapse of the Baltic Dry Index to record lows back in January, I pointed out that it is one of the few indicators of supply and demand that is not open to outside speculation, and that 6-8 months after almost every major drop (sometimes a little longer), the markets invariably follow. The mainstream medias response to the BDI issue was to shrug it off, claiming that too many new ships were the cause of its decline to 25 year lows. This was the same debate point they tried to use when the BDI plummeted back in 2008, just before the derivatives bubble burst. Those who cling like fleas to the too many cargo ships delusion are beginning to see that the BDI was, in fact, showing a decline in global demand. Even the MSM is now forced to admit this development (while still promoting the shipping oversupply theory), as cargo companies around the world are attempting to file Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in the U.S. due to, among other things, a lack of demand, especially in long range shipments from Eastern to Western markets: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/04/03/us-shipping-bankruptcy-idUSBRE8320XT20120403 Durable goods orders in the U.S. show distinct weakness, and the Commerce Department, which issues the stats monthly, has been forced to revise previous months numbers downwards on several occasions; a strategy used often by the Labor Department to soften the effects of negative data: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/28/us-usa-economy-idUSBRE82Q0VN20120328 For those who look to Asia or the developing economies for signs of recovery, China has reported the largest decline in manufacturing in the past three years, while Japanese production has also turned sour: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-03-30/japan-production-decline-undercuts-signs-of-recovery-economy.html Manufacturing in the EU continues to fall while unemployment has hit the highest levels since 1997: http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2012/apr/02/manufacturing-data-uk-europe Its undeniable. Demand for goods and raw materials is dropping just as the BDI predicted, and we are only seeing the very beginning of this trend. With supply, or production, waning, the message is clear; consumers from America to Europe to Asia do not have the purchasing power to halt a downturn, let alone fuel a recovery. Both supply side and demand side numbers signal serious concerns in the near future. China Vs. China China has been the most important litmus test for the progress of the collapse since 2008, which is probably why the mainstream media has spent most of their time focused completely in the opposite direction on Greece. However, admittedly, Chinas economic reality is so difficult to decipher, full-on brain implosion is not out of the question, and it is of no surprise that most analysis on the country is superficial at best. There are, in truth, actually two Chinas. The frustration is in figuring out which is which. The fantasy China we see in the media (Chinese and American), and the real China that seeps through the cracks in unguarded moments. The establishment version of China is tied forever to the U.S. dollar, and the U.S. consumer. It has no ambitions to move beyond its traditional status as a major export hub and a cheap labor market. Its currency will remain weak, just weak enough to boost exports and feed Americans with cheap goods, but not so weak that the U.S. government seeks extraneous trade restrictions. We are led to believe that this China will never change, and that its role will remain ingrained in the skeleton of the global economy. By the way, this is the part in our story where the hapless vacationers make a fateful stop on the river bank, unaware psychotic hillbillies are laying in wait The true China has been preparing to break from the U.S. and the greenback for years. Slowly but surely, they have circulated Yuan denominated bonds in hundreds of countries, made bilateral trade agreements with BRIC and ASEAN nations cutting out the dollar altogether, and, are likely to begin dumping U.S. Treasuries when QE3 is announced (and it will probably be announced before the year is out). The timetable for a Chinese break from U.S. markets may already be set, as Japan, China, and South Korea meet to finalize a trilateral free-trade zone at a summit scheduled for May: http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/90780/7782639.html This project for market integration was originally shelved, but has suddenly been reintroduced right after the ASEAN meeting at the beginning of this month. The three countries represent 20% of global trade, and have discussed extensively the need to remove the dollar as the world reserve currency. Chinas struggle with rising inflation has exacerbated the countrys need to allow a major valuation in the Yuan, to increase the buying power of its citizens and counter high prices. Such a move would have been impossible four years ago with the Asian nations extreme dependency on exports to the West. But this has changed with the advent of trade agreements which have formed the framework for what is obviously slated to become the Asian Union. China is essentially ready to drop the dollar right now. While Chinese and American politicians speak often of cooperation and diplomacy, the real nature of the relationship is not so harmonious. Chinese foreign policy insider Wang Jisi recently revealed that Chinese leadership sees the U.S. as a declining power which should be discounted. He states: It is now a question of how many years, rather than how many decades, before China replaces the United States as the largest economy in the world http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Chinese-insider-offers-rare-glimpse-of-U-S-China-3453939.php Given, Wang is a Brookings Institute inductee and little good ever comes out of that monstrosity, but, this attitude of Chinese distance from the U.S. is becoming more prevalent in numerous circles. To hear it stated so blatantly by a Chinese government insider is not a positive sign. America Vs. Europe So much has been written on the dichotomy between the U.S. and Europe Im finding the repetition of it makes my eyeballs twitch. To be brief, both the EU and the U.S. are in dire straights. Though our currency rises as theirs falls, and though our markets retreat at every news brief from Greece, and though we are told in recent weeks that Europe has stabilized, there is really only two things you need to remember; debt, and employment. Are half of the EUs member nations still in debt far beyond what is restricted by its own membership guidelines? Yes. Is Europes employment situation still dismal? Yes. Do the same problems exist to an even greater degree in America? Yes. Neither region is in a position to support a global economic turnaround. Period. When The Music Stops, The Machine Breaks Financial news is often like the back and forth of rambling dual guitars. It can be entertaining to listen and catch the frenetic melody, but in the end, the music must eventually go silent, and the fun is replaced with dread of what rests just beyond the curve of the stream. All the debate, all the counterpoints and contrariness, all the brilliant insights from self proclaimed experts; it amounts to little more than gasps for air in a barren atmosphere. No one is legitimately confident of much. The only certainty is that the system as it exists today is not sustainable. In my view, the evidence suggests that it was meant to fail all along, and be replaced with yet another even more suffocating economic construct. The facts further suggest that this change is to take a vast step forward this year. We can get caught up in the momentary prattle of theories and rationalizations, or, we can get serious about our own survival. Analysis serves men little if it distracts us from purpose and action. For those in the Liberty Movement who are awake to the approaching dynamo, this means furious efforts to educate those around us, build alternative economic options, prepare ourselves and our families, and in some cases even put our reputations and our lives on the line. The work ahead requires endurance and dedication. A promise and a pledge. There is literally no more time to shed in the name of academics, and what we do right now could change everything. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	Muslims Everywhere Are Pissed After Mcdonalds Makes HUGE Stand Against Islam According to recent reports, McDonalds Corporation announced on Monday that two of its Michigan franchises will no longer carry Chicken McNuggets and McChicken sandwiches designed to meet halal dietary requirements. The Dearborn resident filed a suit against McDonalds after claiming to have confirmed from a source familiar with the inventory that the company on occasion sold non-halal meet. Now, the man is sharing the settlement with a Muslim-run Detroit health clinic and Dearborns Arab American National Museum. I doubt that truly halal compliant businesses would stop offering halal products, claims Michigan attorney Kassem Dakhlallah. The company claims it dropped the halal items to focus on our national core menu but did not mention the lawsuit. What do you think? Should McDonalds have been marketing halal food in the first place?

3	Post Paris Attacks Mass Media Rolls Out New Phrase - International ManhuntBy Bernie Suarez Back then everyone, even many truth seekers, failed to see that looking for people is what police do for a living. There is nothing unusual about looking for someone. What justified the over-the-top reaction including locking down an entire city is the level of hysteria programmed into the story which the mainstream media creates with 24/7 breaking news coverage. The mind control psychological operation of fear, panic and overreaction is created by mainstream media. This then justifies (or includes) the dramatic overreaction by the state actors. Included in this acceptable overreaction is the expectation of police misconduct, ignoring of ethics and standard procedures. These ramped-up, staged overreactions to orchestrated events seem to give police the green light to murder whoever they wish. Have you noticed this yet? Its scary to think but the general public is being conditioned to EXPECT the villain to be murdered by police without a trial or attempt to simply apprehend the villain. This is convenient for the controllers since it allows them to fill in the blank and make up any story they want. Another example of phrases rolled out the public from the recent past is the shooting of a protester that took place in Ferguson, Missouri in August of this year (2015). In this protest the shooting of ONE man combined with the mainstream media hysterical coverage of the event justified introduction of the phrase state of emergency. Anyone pick up on this? When has the murder of ONE person constituted a state of emergency for an entire city?? Are murders are a new thing? Many people have been murdered throughout the history of the U.S. and none of these murders constituted a broad state of emergency. Fast forward to the (recent) Paris attacks. Mainstream media continues to frantically cover the Paris shooting 24/7 because they need you to feel the fear. This is how they stay in power. Sadly, most people have no idea this entire event is designed to strengthen the new world order and enslave the masses further. So while everyone was wallowing in the 24/7 Paris breaking news theater this past weekend the control system rolled out a new psyop phrase on the masses. The supposed manhunt for the so-called eighth suspect is not just a manhunt. The special phrase recently rolled out is International manhunt. I believe in light of all the stated goals for a global police force, this may very well have been the primary purpose for the Paris attacks. Agenda 2030 talks about the goals for global peace and prosperity and you cant have global peace without insinuating that well need some kind of global police force. The Strong Cities Network is another new world order agenda already in play where cities around the world are being asked to volunteer into this cooperative project where cities will focus on global security in light of what they claim is global extremism and terrorism. All the writing is on the wall. And with the new concept of International manhunt being rolled out, that only means one thing. They are conditioning everyone into accepting this unified global police effort. We can expect to hear this phrase a lot more often. As I mentioned in my article previous to this one, I believe portraying ISIS as a supposedly super-mobile terror group was the plan all along to justify the call for a Strong Cities Network and a global police force. I believe this push for a global police is taking place partially because the West is realizing they could lose their ISIS fighters in Syria so they might as well use ISIS to establish the global police.

Wait til the roll out the Paris Benefit Concert for the dead relatives memories. Nuke the U.N.!!!! Dont Forget two alleged 19 year olds w/ pressure cookers got large swaths of Boston locked down by 8,000 military troops to Shelter in Place another NWO Meme. and now the Intl Manhunt is justified due to a few guys in a video declaring war on Washington D.C. Sacrebleau Who doesnt want to declare war on D.C. Its time they bulldoze it! As soon as I heard about this Paris false flag attack followed by a state of emergency and curfew, I figured it was directly related to the upcoming mass protests which would have taken place during the U.N. Climate Change HOAX Conference. It will no doubt get messy. The video link was extremely disappointing. The guy from truth and art claims to have never heard of an international manhunt before. Yes, the globalization of EXISTING police forces is what we see happening with the strong cities network and such, but please be a bit more scrutinous of your sourcing. Links like this is what causes websites to sink down the credibility listJust below AJ. Ummm, no. Everybody knows this would just be a follow-up phrase. I dont know where you guys get the idea that it is some kind of deep psychological deception designed to lower prices at McDonalds or something. Police for decades have worked together to bring a runaway criminal. Good sources to watch for the birthing of new elite memes is Wall Street Journal and the CFRs Foreign Policy Journal. In recent days, articles on those websites are telling their readers: Note: WSJ and FP are behind paywalls or require registration which can be skirted around by Googling the title of an article of interest and then using the provided link. The NWO does not want the destruction of the Islamic State and for this reason Obama placed 50 special forces troops within Al Queida affiliate fighters as human shield inside Syria in violation to international law, invading a country that has made no harm to United States, to attempt to neutralize the Russians air strikes. .interestingly enough, Obamas first official act of his first term was to grant diplomatic immunity to INTERPOL In the USA and all of her affiliated territories. Theyre ALL team players. Too bad it aint our team that they play for. The theater continues, like days-of-our-lives. NEW LOOK OF German trains Manhunt is not PC. Should be personhunt. I cant believe the French cant see how fake this BS is! Sheeple are starting to wake up the green screen terrorists, boston smoke bomb, and Sandy Hoax. Those were the sloppiest and most obvious fabricated events. There is way more proof and evidence that it was staged, then evidence they claim shows these events are real and not fabricated by them. War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses. Smedley Butler The Banking / Corporate dynasties are telling us their plan which has no benefit for the majority of Americans Banking / Corporate dynasties and ISIS Step ONE BROAD AGENDA The powers of financial capitalism had another 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 banksought 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. Tragedy and Hope Carroll Quigley THE PETRO DOLLAR The only way that it can be sustained is if the demand for the dollar and for U.S. debt securities remains consistently strong. Grasping this point is extremely important. For if the artificial global dollar demand, made possible by the petrodollar system, were ever to crumble, foreign nations who had formerly found it beneficial to hold U.S. dollars would suddenly find that they no longer needed the massive number that they were holding. This massive number of dollars, which would no longer be useful to foreign nations, would come rushing back to their place of origin America. Obviously, an influx of dollars into the American economy would lead to massive inflationary pressures within our economic system. Step TWO SPECIFIC AGENDA Were going to take out seven countries in 5 years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran General Wesley Clark. Retired 4-star U.S. Army general, Supreme Allied Commander of NATO during the 1999 War on Yugoslavia. The need to maintain the Federal Reserve Note as the world currency: Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak and his Iranian counterpart Bijan Zanganeh signed a five-year memorandum of understanding in Moscow, which included cooperation in the oil sector. The end of the petro dollar will mean federal reserve notes and treasury securities inundating the American economy Step Three CIA is commissioned to cause chaos so Nato can come in and bomb the government and take it down A fallen government leaves open doors for NATO. This means that once all these countries have fallen you can invade and install puppet governments, without world criticism. The Iraqi army is ordered to vacate bases and leave military hardware behind. Why? To arm Isis so that they could attack Syria. 2,300 Humvee armored vehicles @ $70,000 per copy. Total: $16 million Media Reports. 2,300 * 70,000 = $161 million, not $16 million. While were at it So the ACTUAL total is around $656 million, not $219.7 million. Advertised publicly as training of non-extremist Muslim jihadists to wage war against the Syrian Bashar Assad regime, the secret US training camps in Jordan and elsewhere have trained perhaps several thousand Muslim fighters in techniques of irregular warfare, sabotage and general terror. The claims by Washington that they took special care not to train Salafist or jihadist extremists, is a joke. How do you test if a recruit is not a jihadist? Is there a special jihad DNA that the CIA doctors have discovered? Step Four The Art of Propaganda. The Spin and Mainstream media The humble beginning of media control Second Session In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, ship building and powder interests and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press in the United States. These 12 men worked the problems out by selecting 179 newspapers, and then began, by an elimination process, to retain only those necessary for the purpose of controlling the general policy of the daily press throughout the country. They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. The 25 papers were agreed upon; emissaries were sent to purchase the policy, national and international, of these papers; an agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers. You cannot see it? You are wrong. There is a power behind the government and you cannot see it Gov. Malloy this week was on Chris Matthews this week, attacking sandy hook truthers!

2	Judge Rules That Government Must Respond In Regard To Obamas Fake SSN Well, it appears Orly Taitz is finally making small strides when it comes to her mission to reveal the truth about President Obamas citizenship. After years of attempting to bring the truth to light, the government may be forced to address questions about the Presidents Social Security Number. Apparently, Taitz contention that Obama has been using the SSN of a deceased man named Harry Bounel may actually legally require a response from the government, according to Judge Hollander of Maryland. In a recent press release, Taitz shared the following information: 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 petition due to privacy concerns, however Social Security has not 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. 
2	BREAKING: TRUMP MAKES MASSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT HIS PLANS... THIS IS IT Throughout his election, Donald Trump has promised to hold Hillary Clinton accountable for her use of a personal email server during her time as Secretary of State. So you can imagine the outrage of Americans everywhere when Trump hinted that he is backing away from this position. According to reports, Trump seemed to waver on his pledge to appoint a special prosecutor to go after Hillary Clinton. At the end of last week, the president-elect was asked about the campaign promise in his first official interview since being elected. Its not something Ive given a lot of thought because I want to solve health care, jobs, border control, tax reform, Trump responded, clearly dodging the true matter at hand. Supporters are not necessarily happy about his response. Many feel this would be a shift from his election platformone that he presented himself to be very passionate about. The pledge was first made in August at a Trump rally in Akron, Ohio. At the time, Trump asserted that neither the FBI nor the Justice Department could be trusted to hold Clinton accountable. Trump insisted they were whitewashing Clintons crimes. In a later debate, Trump doubled down on the pledgedand even used it in one of the most notable insults of his campaign. On Sunday, Trump sat down for a 60 Minutes interview with his family. He appeared noticeably reserved on the topic of Clinton and even seemed to respect her. During the interview, Trump revealed that both Bill and Hillary phoned him in the hours after the results were released to the public. So, Hillary called, and it was a lovely call, Trump told Lesley Stahl. And it was a tough call for her, I mean, I can imagine. Tougher for her than it would have been for me. I mean, for me, it would have been very, very difficult. She couldnt have been nice, Trump continued. She just said, Congratulations, Donald, well done. And I said, I want to thank you very much; you were a great competitor. Trump then rattled supporters when he called Clinton very strong and very smart. What do you think? Does Trump owe it to the American people to remain true to his word? 
1	Speculating that it could refer to some aspect of their website or possibly the sales or advertising department, employees at Convergence Media said Thursday that the word platforming, which executives have reportedly used numerous times over the past few weeks, cant be good. They sent out this company-wide email that said were going to start embracing platforming and become a leading platforming company within six monthsno way thats not terrible for us, said Convergence project analyst Joseph Bevan, adding that although he has also overheard the word being employed by senior management in the hallway on at least five occasions, it has yet to be expounded on or put in context by anyone at the company. I dont know if or when theyll reveal what platforming is, but I do know for sure that its going to make us utterly miserable, take over our lives for the foreseeable future, and probably get a bunch of us fired. At press time, management sources confirmed that platforming would not at all be good.

2	BREAKING: Trump Just Dropped A NUKE... Fans Stunned There is no question that the mainstream media goes above and beyond to paint Donald Trump in the worst light possible. They attempt to make him look like a liar when it comes to his wealth and success. So they cant be very happy that Trump just released a Personal Financial Disclosure claiming a net worth of over $10 billion. According to reports, Trump also took the opportunity to slam Bernie Sanders, pointing out that he filed his report on time while the Vermont Senator requested an extension. Despite the fact that I am allowed extensions, I have again filed my report, which is 104 pages, on time, Trump commented. This is the difference between a businessman and the all talk, no action politicians that have failed the American people for far too long. This just proves that Sanders is a hypocrite. He is who the media should be casting the negative spotlight on. His entire campaign is based on transparency, but he cant even seem to follow standard rules. What do you think? Are you tired of the media portraying Trump as the bad guy? 
3	Connecticut Becomes The FIRST State To End Chronic Homelessness Among VeteransBy Amanda Froelich No doubt national and state officials are celebrating the monumental achievement after having set a goal earlier on to end veteran homelessness by the end of 2015. The Connecticut Department of Housing, the Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness (CCEH), and other nonprofits and volunteers who spent time on the streets identifying homeless veterans played a major role in the states coordinated efforts. Said Lisa Tepper Bates, executive director of CCEH: This means that all known chronically homeless veterans are housed or are on the immediate path to housing and any veteran who newly enters homelessness will be rapidly put on the path to permanent housing. Nearly 300 veterans previously experiencing chronic homelessness have now been gifted permanent or at least temporary housing. Chronically homeless is defined as those with a disabling condition who have been continuously homeless for a year or have had at least four episodes of homelessness in the past three years. According to a joint report conducted by the Department of Veterans Affairs along with the Department of Housing and Urban Development, veterans account for 16% of all homeless adults nationwide even though they only make up 10% of the population. It is a travesty, indeed. But this positive news is affirmation that homelessness especially chronic homelessness among veterans can be eradicated. This proves to everybody that you can do it You can end homelessness, you just need to go one person at a time, said Bates. As the Hartford Courant reports, Connecticut was supplied with the means to reach it goal through significant increases in funding for permanent housing vouchers and additional funding targeted to provide rapid rehousing to veterans carried out on a federal level. Connecticuts state Department of Housing has also invested at least $3 million in rental subsidies and special services for Connecticuts homeless veterans. In many states, there is no such investment. The positive news doesnt end there! Government Malloy of Connecticut has set a goal to provide housing and support services for all homeless people in the state by the end of 2016. What are your thoughts on this news?

Now how about we stop having wars of aggression on sovereign nations who have done nothing to the US. Then we do not make more veterans that the bunch of chicken hawks in Sodom and Gommora on the potomac do not want to take care of. exactly right John. The U.S. military budget is upwards of a trillion dollars a year. Just think what America would look like if we spent that money on improving the lives of all of us and our infrastructure. Instead of slaughtering millions abroad. It is so very simple, but the American sheep do not get it. Well, is it really up to us, the people?? I havent sent the US military to any country! Nobody I know has done that. But politicians do! So how do we make the politicians stop sending military to other countries?? Its not like the politicians are there for us, they all work for the big corporations and the war industry, everybody knows that. 
3	The Curious Case of Crime in the Mediaselfnews Post The findings have been compiled into an infographic that you will see at the end of this article. Murder, Shootings, Stabbings and Assaults overwhelmingly dominate crime news coverage The media covers these types of crime 20-30% of the time, despite the fact that murder represents less than 1% of crimes committed. In Oakland, the city best ranked for accuracy, the police reports show murder as .8% of crime, while the medias crime coverage focused on murders 62% of the time. If you lived in Oakland and read the news during this week, wed be surprised if you werent shaking in your bed after every creak in the night. In Oakland, residents would have been better served by information discussing burglaries, larcenies and auto theftscrimes that many people could protect themselves against and that together made up 57% of the crime in that city. Even in cities where larceny was by far and away the biggest crime threat to the population, news coverage focused heavily on violent crimes like murder. The majority of crimes documented by the police in Dallas were larcenies, making up 52% of crime that week. News coverage of larceny? Nada. We suspect that crime reporting is heavily influenced by what gets viewers attentions and grabs readers. What you probably didnt know isLocal crime news is a great source for criminal information that you wouldnt get from the police. Two of the cities surveyed had reporters that worked hard to educate the public on criminal justice issues ranging from pending criminal legislation to police misconduct. Wed like to applaud the efforts of crime reporters in Dallas and New York City for bringing important criminal justice issues to the publics attention. Heres how they did: We are especially impressed with reporters in New York City, who advocated for citizens rights in their crime reporting. Given the police conduct issues highlighted by the Occupy Wall Street movement, we were excited to find that reporters in NYC had been highlighting civil liberties issues in their reporting well before the protests began. Sample headlines from the week are: The Take Away? Understand that your local crime coverage is likely flooded by headlines using popular crime buzzwords like kills, shooting, and assault. The city with the highest murder rate, still had less than 1% of crimes committed being murders. Just keep that in mind when reading or watching your local news. But remember, your local news may be the only place to get informed on issues related to criminal justice, police conduct, and other important legislative issues in your city.

2	Four Senators Ban Together To Take Down Comey With Shocking Proof... Its All Over Now The Obama administration has pulled every trick in the book to try to derail Congressman Trey Gowdys investigation of Hillary Clinton and FBI Director James Comey. Now, it appears he has finally made some progress. Four prominent U.S. Senators have just come forward with a letter that Hillary and Beth Wilkinson wrote this past June. The letter claims the FBI could only access Hillarys emails from between June 2014 and February 2015. The Wilkinson letters raise serious questions about why DOJ would consent to such substantial limitations on the scope of its investigation, and how Director (James) Comeys statements on the scope of the investigation comport with the reality of what the FBI was permitted to investigate, the Senators said in a meeting. This is simply astonishing given the likelihood that evidence on the laptops would be of interest to congressional investigators. These limitations would necessarily have excluded, for example, any emails from Cheryl Mills to Paul Combetta in late 2014 or early 2015 directing the destruction or concealment of federal records, Congressman Jason Chaffetz added. Similarly, these limitations would have excluded any email sent or received by Secretary Clinton if it was not sent or received by one of the four email addresses listed, or the email address was altered. What do you think? Will Clinton and Comey finally see justice? 
1	Stressing that the last thing they would ever want is to be responsible for unduly affecting the course of the nomination process, members of the news media urged the public not to be swayed by their breathless, second-by-second Super Tuesday coverage and to refrain from drawing any sweeping, broad conclusions about the current state of the American political system on the basis of said coverage. 'Let's remember not to place too much importance on anything that happens tonight, or act like any single event could make or break a candidate, signal the overall direction of the Republican Party, or sum up the opinions of voters in general,' CNN's Wolf Blitzer said as the results trickled in during his nonstop, seven-hour coverage of the voting. 'Come to think of it, even the phrase Super Tuesday may be a bit unfair, as it makes the ballots cast on this day seem more important than others, which is frankly a sensationalist way of looking at things considering we still have 28 states, the District of Columbia, and five U.S. territories left to go.' Blitzer later added that presenting extended coverage and analysis of Super Tuesday at all was ultimately unnecessary given that 'realistically speaking, Romney pretty much has this thing wrapped up.' 
2	Obama Apologizes To The UN, We Are Really Sorry That Our Cops Are So Racist Obama has officially embarrassed the United States again. According to Conservative Post, The Obama administration apologized Monday to the United Nations Human Rights Council for American law enforcement personnel whom it described as willfully us[ing] excessive force, at times with racist motivation. In its defense of its handling of the issue, the administration touts prosecuting over 400 law-enforcement officials and committing itself to take down those found guilty in the future. Numerous members of the U.N Human Rights Council have voiced their concern about the unjust practices of US law enforcement. We must rededicate ourselves to ensuring that our civil-rights laws live up to their promise, Justice Department official James Cadogan told delegates. The Council is now pressuring US officials for change in policy. The plan is to shut down the death penalty, get rid of the NSA surveillance programs, and close Guantanamo. What do you think of this? Do you think Obama is disrespecting our hardworking police force? 
1	Continuing a trend that began in the Senate last November, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) announced Monday that 45 members of the House of Representatives would be laid off and replaced by cost-efficient heavy legislating machinery. A legislating machine does the work of 10 members of the House Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit. 'I feel awful for my colleagues who are now out of work,' DeLay told reporters at a press conference. 'I've known some of these people for years, but the fact remains that these new machines can pass bills up to 10 times faster than their human counterparts. Like it or not, this is the future.' In spite of denials from congressional leaders, the rash of job cuts has some legislators worried that Congress will be fully mechanized within 10 years. 'The House and Senate will always need people,' Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert said. 'These machines are a valuable tool, but there's still no substitute for the wisdom and experience of an actual human congressman. Everything that happens in Congress requires, to some extent, the human touch. Except maybe drafting legislation. That can pretty much be done by machine.' Though both Hastert and DeLay insist that increased congressional automation would be a boon for the overworked legislators, the alarming rate of layoffs is causing anxiety on Capitol Hill. 'Our bosses say nothing is ever going to replace old-fashioned, hands-on legislation, but I have my doubts,' said a Michigan representative speaking on condition of anonymity. 'As it stands, we only have a few seconds to look over the bill before putting it in the machine to vote or amend. If we try to take a closer look, DeLay gets on our ass about holding up the line. I don't want to pass shoddy legislation, but I don't want to lose my job, either.' Robert Barnes, managing editor of Congressional Quarterly, predicted that the legislative body's workforce will be cut in half by the end of 2005. 'The fact is, there's little a human legislator does that a machine can't handle,' Barnes said. 'All you have to do is program the machine as either Democrat or Republican, and it'll vote along the exact same party lines as a real lawmaker. We know exactly how Ted Kennedy or Orrin Hatch will vote on, say, banning flag-burning, so there's really no reason to keep them around when a machine can do it for a fraction of the cost.' 'Frankly,' Barnes continued, 'I wouldn't be surprised if, in 20 years, the machines get phased out in favor of computer simulations that can carry out an entire legislative sessionfrom introduction of a bill to debate to votein a fraction of a second.' On top of feeling unappreciated and expendable, many representatives expressed displeasure about a decline in working conditions, including the addition of shifts to facilitate round-the-clock legislation. Tensions have been so high that Beltway insiders don't rule out the possibility of a congressional walkout, which would grind the U.S. lawmaking industry to a halt. DeLay, however, said he is confident the representatives will stay on the job. 'These are good men and, sure, they like to run their mouth off, but they're not going to strike,' DeLay said. 'Once they get used to the machines and the new regulations, things will normalize. Besides, where else are these legislators going to go if they quit? I mean, their skills aren't exactly what I'd call transferrable.'

Such is the case with this viral video, which gives a less-than-subtle reminder that the weaponry possessed by a few of the players is far more technologically advanced. Beheadings are tragic, but they wont hold up against a targeted missile. The video shows one terrorist hiding in the bushes, as he is being tracked by an Apache helicopter. The helicopter films the incident, which ends in a missile being dropped right on target. Watch the video below and let us know what you think. UPDATE: Sorry the video has been removed. 
1	Highlighting a disturbing reality for many individuals and families throughout the country, a study published Friday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture revealed that an alarming 60 percent of Americans have no idea where their next value meal will come from. Our research found that at any given time, three out of five U.S. residents cannot state where theyll be getting their next combo meal, whether its McDonalds, Burger King, KFC, or some other franchise location, said the reports lead author, Alexis Stamn, noting that in the most disaffected areas of the country, less than 10 percent of residents could confidently tell researchers exactly what combination of burger, fries, and soft drink or shake theyd be having for dinner. Its shocking to think of the millions of children in the U.S. who come home from school every day and simply dont know whether or not their parents will put an Arbys Angus steak sandwich or something from the Taco Bell Dollar Cravings menu on the table that night. Just think of what that does to a child. The study also found that during the past month, a staggering one-eighth of all American children under the age of 10 had gone a full 24 hours without eating a single Happy Meal. 
1	Saying that those were definitely some good times, a reflective President Obama told reporters Friday that the current scandals plaguing his administration have made him long for the deeply frustrating, often maddening political climate of his first term in office. Remember when I couldnt get anything through Congress for two years and had absolutely no success reaching a grand bargain with John Boehner? said a gently smiling Obama as he leaned back in his chair in the Oval Office and stared off wistfully. I really miss that. I wonder if it will ever be infuriating like that again, he added. Gosh, I sure hope so. Obama, who is currently facing three high-level political scandals that include the IRS unfair targeting of conservative groups, the Department of Justices questionable probe of the Associated Press, and the murder of a U.S. diplomat in Benghazi, said he cant help but smile when he remembers his early, thwarted years as president when he was unable to bring Democrats and Republicans together on health care or lobby Congress to pass immigration reform. The president then affectionately reminisced about when Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said his one goal as Senate Minority leader was to make Obama a one-term president, and told reporters that, with the current onslaught of criticism facing his administration, he often finds himself yearning for the tumultuous months in 2009 when unemployment was at 10.2 percent and his stimulus plan faced constant scrutiny. The president also tenderly recalled his horrendous first debate with Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, saying that awful night now holds a special place in his heart. Just the other day, after a reporter compared me to Richard Nixon, I was sitting in my office and I was just sort of replaying a simpler, fairly annoying time in the beginning of my presidency when people were accusing me of being a Muslim and saying that I wasnt born in the United States, said Obama, chuckling to himself. Man, those were the exasperating good ol days. According to sources within the White House, the president has been in a reflective mood since news of the various scandals broke, often taking aides aside and fondly recalling the hellish nightmare of his first term when he realized he couldnt live up to anyones expectations and his once sterling approval rating dropped precipitously in mere months. One high-level official said that after the White House was forced to release emails sent during the Benghazi terrorist attack, the president, in an effort to calm himself, mused warmly on how torturous it was dealing with House Minority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) during his first term, and how he actually thought about punching him in the face during many of his Oval Office visits. When the president talks about how he totally failedfrom a public relations perspectiveto sell the American people on his health care plan, it sort of takes him back to the beginning when everything was just grand, comparatively speaking, one aide said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. Completely and utterly discouraging memories like those from the first 100 days are pretty much the only things that take his mind off of how the IRS failed under his watch, or how gun control didnt pass, or how hes not gaining much traction on climate change. Staring out of the Oval Office window, Obama suddenly clapped his hands, smiled broadly, and said, Hey, I just remembered a great story about the time people compared my handling of the BP oil spill to how Bush handled Hurricane Katrina. 
1	Fourteen months after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ACL, Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose told reporters Wednesday that hes thinking about getting around to beginning rehabilitation on his knee sometime this summer. Ive enjoyed my time off, but I should probably get started soon if I still want to make it back by midseason, said Rose, adding that with injuries its important to patiently wait for the first year or two before diving back into any activity whatsoever. I dont want to rush anything, but I guess I should begin those exercises where I can bend my knee and eventually walk again. Rose, who admitted that he was enjoying the nice weather in Chicago, was reportedly leaning toward starting his physical therapy next year.

1	In an effort to reduce travel times for thousands of customers every year, Greyhound Lines announced Monday that it will now offer regular bus service from anywhere in the state of Kansas directly to the driveway of a Los Angelesarea pornographic film director. 'It's our job to get riders where they're going as conveniently as possible, and since 40 percent of our passengers traveling to Hollywood end up at an adult filmmaker's door anyway, we figured this was the logical next step,' said Greyhound CEO David Leach, who confirmed that a postcard reading 'I'm doing fine! I got a job modeling!' will be automatically mailed to passengers' parents 36 hours after their arrival. 'A standard one-way ticket covers the heartbreakingly hopeful ride out for $80, and for the $120 round-trip option, you can return homebroke and psychologically devastatedthree and a half months later.' Greyhound also unveiled special 'Family Pack' tickets for frantic relatives wishing to travel to Hollywood in search of their missing loved ones. 
1	Saying that his appearance was equally confusing and startling, members of the Bear Creek high school coaching staff told reporters this week that none of them recalled inviting former Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis to give an inspirational pregame speech to their football team last Friday. I got my guys down on one knee in the locker room and then he just sort of showed up and took over, head coach Eric Moore said of Lewis, who reportedly began his 15-minute speech in a low whisper before gradually building up to full-throated screams as he punched lockers in front of the group of silent high school players. He really scared my boys shitless. I know I didnt invite him, and my assistants told me they didnt either, so I have no idea where the hell he came from. I think I heard some of the opposing players saying he stopped in to talk to them before the game too. Moore confirmed that neither he nor anyone else affiliated with the school or booster club asked Lewis to lead the team through the paper banner and onto the field. 
1	According to reports from distressed Capitol Hill sources, members of both houses of Congress were eerily cooperative and agreeable throughout today's legislative session, prompting widespread confusion, fear, and suspicion among political observers across the Beltway. 'Today began just like any other legislative day, with the normal morning proceedings and opening speeches, but then, out of nowhere, lawmakers suddenly began talking to each other and listening to what their colleagues had to say,' said visibly shaken House staffer Scott Harrington, who called the collegial atmosphere that has settled over Washington 'disconcerting.' 'I saw representatives have an open, constructive dialogue on the issues and actually acknowledge opinions other than the ones they personally held. That's when I knew that something was definitely wrong.' 'Overall, the feeling around here is cordial,' a concerned Harrington continued. 'A little too cordial, if you know what I mean.' Beltway sources confirmed they began to feel like something was up when congressmen from both sides of the aisle 'oddly' refrained from talking down to each other or reflexively belittling their opponents' viewpoints as out-of-touch, dangerous, or anti-American. Moreover, the passage of a jobs training bill without a single congressman invoking bureaucratic stalling tactics put beltway observers on edge, and instilled a deep-seated fear that lawmakers might possibly be hiding dark intentions of some kind. Onlookers said they felt a chill down their collective spines upon seeing an image of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) shaking hands. 'I don't know what's going on here, but I know I don't like it,' said Time political columnist Joe Klein, who watched C-SPAN in disturbed shock as the Senate proceeded quickly and smoothly on a federal judicial confirmation. 'Something's off. Something is definitely off. It's almost as if lawmakers are putting the well-being of the country above their own self interest and hard-line party ideology.' 'This can't be good for America,' he added. While a small handful of citizens have suggested that Congress' newfound willingness to find common ground might actually prove beneficial to the country, these views have largely been drowned out by the vast majority of Americans who believe there is a sinister scheme at work. According to paranoid sources, much of the populace believes elected officials are angling to slip in a terrifying, power grabbing law through Congress that drastically reduces Americans' individual freedoms. Others say that Republicans and Democrats are trying to lull each other into a false sense of security before orchestrating a bloody coup on one another. Some reportedly even believe that the restoration of comity has to do with Washington receiving word of nuclear missiles headed towards the United States, and, as a result, lawmakers feel as if the 112th Congress should properly govern the country at least once before America is annihilated. 'It feels like this is the calm before the storm,' Talking Points Memo editor Josh Marshall told reporters. 'John Boehner is working with the White House on a long term deficit reduction plan? Nancy Pelosi and Eric Cantor have agreed to go to lunch and talk about making college more affordable? Something is going to happen. Something bad.' Overall, Congress's mature and professional behavior has sent the country into a frightened tailspin. By evening, reports indicated that supermarket shelves had been picked clean across much of the country, many had withdrawn all their savings in cash, and retailers were reporting a nationwide run on ammunition. Additionally, many frantic, desperate citizens have called on the president to restore bitter acrimony to Congress immediately. 'I'm frightened for my life,' said distraught Lubbock, TX resident Chris Lefebvre, who claimed to have packed up all his essential belongings and was prepared to flee with his family across the Mexican border if the legislative branch began making headway on long-intractable issues such as immigration or entitlement reform. 'People are having nervous breakdowns in the streets, newscasters clearly have no idea what's happening, and my children are terrifiedthey keep asking me what's going on, but I have no explanation.' 'Where is all the partisan rancor and legislative gridlock?' he added. 'It's the only thing we know.' Though many Washington insiders urged Americans to remain calm, all agreed that if both sides willingly come together in earnest to raise the debt-ceiling before the deadline, then 'God help us all.' 
3	Trump: Id Go to War with IranBy Kurt Nimmo With Iran, when they circle our beautiful destroyers with their little boats and they make gestures at our people that they shouldnt be allowed to make, they will be shot out of the water, Trump said. The remark is in response to an incident last month when Iranian patrol boats approached US vessels in the Persian Gulf. Trumps comment is a contradiction of his earlier unabashedly noninterventionist approach to world affairs, as The Washington Post described it. Trump does not address why our beautiful destroyers are in the Persian Gulf in the first place. He does not say what his response would be if Iran parked its warships a few miles off the coast of the United States. The US Fifth Fleet is based in Bahrain. The fleet consists of numerous task forces, including carrier, submarine, amphibious, and expeditionary strike forces. It is stationed less than 500 miles from Iran. Now imagine the response if a comparable Iranian force was based in Bermuda, about six hundred mile off the coast of North Carolina. Forget that Iran does not have a naval force anywhere near as advanced or deadly as the United States. Also imagine Iran had imposed economic sanctions on the US similar to sanctions imposed on Iran. In 2014 Bloomberg estimated Iran had suffered $130 million a day in lost sales as a result of sanctions imposed for nuclear weapons it did not have and was not developing. Do you think President Trump would sink every Iranian ship within reach and bomb Tehran? Trumps remark in Florida is further evidence of his decision to embrace the neocon agenda. As his position shifts away from noninterventionism, neocons are increasingly flocking under his wing. Earlier this week the grand daddy of the neocon movement, Norman Podhoretz, said he backs Trump. With his endorsement in an interview this week in the Times of Israel, the former editor of Commentary magazine parts ways with the many neoconservatives who say they cannot support the Republican nominee because of his foreign policy views, Forward reported. Trump has modified his foreign policy views over the last few weeks. He is now nearly indistinguishable from other Republicans. Image Credit 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. Why not play golf instead? Trump and Killary where is the difference. They are both mad. All the world is a circus stage for bankster puppets. Gotta make Killary look like the lesser of evils. Trump shoots from the hip, but when the dust settles he would be for protecting the U.S. borders and the hard working folks that send the paychecks to DeCeit. Trump will do whatever the Zionists tell him to do, just like all other Western government puppets. agreed #AmericaWasNeverGreat Iran has not invaded another country in over 400 years. The US is there throwing their weight around. The US is the aggressor. If Tramp, sorry Trump, causes a false flag to attack Iran, just like Bush did in 2001, we will have WW 3 and the US of A will lose. Trump stay out of that crap! Hillary wants war. We hate hillary! Looks like we get war no matter which of the two compromised candidates we choose! How unfortunate for the US and the Word. OK to send a few warning shots across the Iranian bows. If theyre stupid enough to come any closer, it is at their own risk. Please Trump! Now is not the time to make stupid remarks. And that was a stupid remark you made!!!! Our country is doneNothing but psychopaths and warmongering nut jobs leading us but but but I thought El Trumpo was all so different than warmonger Hillary! hmmmm 
2	This State Will Require The Pledge Of Allegiance In Every School [VIDEO] Amid rising sensitive in the United States, the recitation of the pledge of allegiance in school has become a political hot spot, with debates rising over whether the act of patriotism violates some religious freedoms. The question not only stems from the under God controversy, but also a shift in the opinion toward our country. These days, it seems any act of patriotism is simply frowned upon. Now, a state senator from Oklahoma has announced his desire to hold on to the important tradition, sponsoring a bill that would require the Pledge of Allegiance every morning in schools. The practice was once commonplace but is becoming significantly less frequent as controversy continues to arise. I think the tone of this nation and the way things are going, it should be up to parents to decide, and not teachers of our schools, whether the kids say the Pledge of Allegiance or not, Standridge told reporters. When you think of all the sacrifices that went into having out flag and the freedoms that we all have, I think the pledge is the least we can do to honor those who have gone before us. Still, Standridge assured the public that his bill would not force any students to recite the pledge, giving parents the option to opt out 
1	President Clinton is strongly denying special prosecutor Kenneth Starrs claim that he has a receipt proving that on July 11, 1994, Clinton rented Night Eyes 2 and Night Eyes 3, two mature-audiences-only erotic thrillers starring former Playboy Playmate Of The Year Shannon Tweed. According to Starr, the receipt, unearthed during a year-long Justice Department probe of D.C.-area video stores, clearly proves that the president not only rented these two films, but, even more damning, did so on the same night. That is over three hours of steamy adult fare enjoyed in one single viewing by the president. In the wake of the findings, Starr is ordering the store where the films were rented to hand over all receipt records dating back to 1992 to discern whether Clinton may have also rented Night Eyes, the first installment in the series, starring Tanya Roberts. Starr also ordered the Justice Department to hand over recently surfaced White House cable-tap recordings that are purported to contain over 40 hours of Spice Channel pay-per-view. Tweed has refused to comment on the crisis.

1	Helping Hearts, a nonprofit organization that assists low-income Clevelanders, marked its eighth anniversary Monday with its customary celebration of a box-mix home-made cake, a pitcher of Kool-Aid, and a promise from assistant director Susan Lindstrom to continue its tireless work alleviating some of the most pressing needs of the city's poor. Helping Hearts staffers and their new coffee-maker; recent fund-raising will pay for its repair. 'We are a full-service, anti-poverty task force, committed to eradicating poverty with a multi-layered attack strategy, operating on multiple fronts,' said Lindstrom, sweating heavily in the windowless, un-air-conditioned office she shares with as many as seven volunteers. 'We will fight tirelessly morning, noon, and night, on every level until this widespread problem is wiped off the map.' Added Lindstrom: 'Poverty is right in our backyard.' In 2005, Helping Hearts distributed over $4,700 in various food and clothing donations, found temporary and part-time work for more than 110 adults, and was instrumental in the passage of increased homeless and transitional housing funding in the city. It also had an operating budget of $18,280, putting it below the federally mandated poverty threshold for a family of four. Lindstrom said Helping Hands is comparable to much larger organizations such as United Way of Cleveland, and the Ohio Coalition For Minimum Wage Reform. 'Our crack team of anti-poverty activists is totally devoted to marshalling every resource at our disposal,' Lindstrom said as she stood under a flickering light bulb in the office's bathroom and added some water to an old toner cartridge to squeeze every last drop of usable ink from it. 'We've put together a base of operations here in this historical, mid-19th-century building equipped to attack poverty at its source,' Lindstrom added. According to Lindstrom, the organization recently acquired a stool with two fully intact legs and a 1987-model photocopier, and plans are underway to remove several of the dead rodents from the office's six mousetraps. A drawer full of mostly brand-new pens and a pile of used Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes envelopes for the most important reports and inter-office memos were all also 'at the ready' to address any and all of the low-income community's ongoing long-range needs. 'What's more, we've got over 400 napkins accumulated over the past three years from the Blimpies down the street, in case anyone spills anything,' Lindstrom said. 'Poverty, look out,' she added. Helping Hearts relies on cash donations and volunteer efforts from the public, whom it solicits at outreach tables in the city's bus shelters. It also saves money by using both sides of Post-It notes, buying off-brand grape soda, and drinking tap water. Lindstrom said that with the new equipment and a boost in small donations in the last six months, Helping Hearts has made important strides. 'We've raised almost enough money to provide blankets and socks for the most needy in the office, which gets very cold in the winter months,' Lindstrom said. 'When you see that look of appreciation on the executive vice president's face, it's all worthwhile.' 
3	Obama Visits Laos, Refuses to Apologize for US Dropping Two Million Tons of BombsBy Kurt Nimmo Given our history here, I believe that the United States has a moral obligation to help Laos heal, he said. Between 1964 and 1973 the Pentagon dropped over two million tons of ordnance on Laos during 580,000 bombing missions making Laos the most heavily bombed country per capita in history. The massive bombing raidsequal to a planeload of bombs every 8 minutes, 24-hours a day, for 9 yearswere launched because the US was unable to defeat the Pathet Lao on the ground. The Pathet Lao went to war after they were excluded from the government and jailed by CIA-installed strongman Phoumi Nosavan. Laos was an American plantation, a CIA playground, writes William Blum. Between 1957 and 1965, Laotian governments came and went at a frantic pace, with the CIA sponsoring at least one coup a year. The problem was a leftist group called the Pathet Lao which kept getting enough votes to be included in coalition governments, notes Mark Zepezauer. During the Vietnam War, the US claimed Laos was invaded by the communists. The people of the United States were led to believe that Laos physically had been invaded by foreign Communist troops from across its northern border. Our Secretary of State called the situation grave; our ambassador to the U.N. called for world action; our press carried scare headlines; our senior naval officer implied armed intervention and was seconded by ranking Congressmen The entire affair was a fraud. No military invasion of Laos had taken place, write William Lederer and Eugene Burdick in A Nation of Sheep. Nixon and Henry Kissinger were involved in the bombing of Laos Plain of Jars along with civilian targets in North Vietnam, including Haiphong harbor, dikes, cities, and the Bach Mai Hospital. Nixons illegal and secret bombing of Cambodiaexceeding the number of bombs dropped on Japan in World War IIresulted in the murder of 500,000 civilians and the rise of the Khmer Rouge, a brutal guerrilla group responsible for killing around three millions Cambodians. (For more on this war crime, see David Models President Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, and the Bombing of Cambodia.) Within days of Richard Nixons inauguration in January 1969, national security adviser Kissinger asked the Pentagon to lay out his bombing options in Indochina. The previous president, Lyndon Baines Johnson, had suspended his own bombing campaign against North Vietnam in hopes of negotiating a broader ceasefire. Kissinger and Nixon were eager to re-launch it, a tough task given domestic political support for the bombing halt, writes Greg Grandin. Hillary Clinton has courted the arch war criminal Kissinger and it now appears he will endorse her presidential campaign. Although Obama said I believe that the United States has a moral obligation to help Laos heal, he didnt offer an apology for the bombings. But then America, as the exceptional nation, never apologizes for its war crimes. 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. Why apologize when so much tax payer financed weaponry is so profitable? Yeah a lot of people got killed but it served the porpose perfectly. I didnt know that winey simpering no-name potus had any countries left to apologize too. Vampire! Please dont ever expect the evil, terrorist supporting nation of murdering monsters, the US, to apologize for its disgusting and degenerate bloodsucking. The words we are sorry is not part of their lexicon and never will be. Will they carpet bomb Washington, D.C.? That place has been infested with Communists too.

1	A new study released by the Monteverde Institute today has found that when selecting a mate, female frogs demonstrate a clear preference for males who know a thing or two about the cloaca. The pulse and duration of the males mating call certainly plays a role in the females selection process, but we now know they also place a strong emphasis on the males ability to understand the cloaca and work it just right, either with their digits or with their tongues, said lead researcher Adreana Morn, who went on to explain that the most desirable mates intuitively understand that the female cloacathe posterior opening from which urine, feces, and eggs are dischargedis not simply an on/off switch, but a delicate instrument that, with a little know-how, can be stimulated to yield blissful results. The most competitive mates begin stimulating the cloaca indirectly, arousing the female with low croaking sounds and light touches to her abdomen and webbing. If he doesnt rush into the amplexus posture too quickly, by the time the male gets to the cloaca, shes already putty in his frontal legs. Morn added that a significant number of males also enjoyed having their cloacas stimulated. 
3	Down Our Throats How Corporate Influence and Public Policy Conspire to Keep Us UnhealthyAlex Pietrowski, Contributor No one can question the fact that the condition of public health in the United States has reached a critical point, and that much of this health catastrophe can be blamed on poor eating habits. Nearly 1 million Americans each year experience a heart attack and another 600,000 die of heart disease, with poor diet and obesity being two of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease. About 1 out of every 3 American adults is obese, with another 17% of American children being obese. The cost associated with obesity-related healthcare, as well as the associated loss of productivity, is estimated to be up to $190 billion each year. Despite these staggering statistics, public policy does nothing to encourage a healthy diet, in fact the opposite appears to ring truer; we live under a sort of culturally reinforced dietary tyranny of processed and unnatural foods. And while the government assaults and prosecutes those who cultivate and pursue raw milk and natural foods, they are also now telling us that they can create better health through legislation, taxation and by implementing legal restrictions on serving sizes. Are Taxes the Answer? Just as there are heavy levies on the sales of cigarettes (about 57% of the cost of a pack in the US), some government entities are vying to extend this measure of control towards improving the public health by taxing unhealthy foods. The purpose of food taxes is to reduce sales of the products concerned. In bringing in its fat tax, the Danish government also wanted to raise revenue, reduce costs associated with obesity-related diseases, and increase health and longevity. Anti-obesity tax measures in other countries have tended to avoid targeting broad nutrient groups. Instead, they focus on processed foods, fast food or sugary drinks all major sources of calories. Taxing them seems like a more promising strategy. source: New Scientist Recently Dr. Oliver Mytton, Academic Clinical Fellow, and his colleagues at the University of Oxford had examined the effect that taxes can have on public health. The research team found that taxing a variety of unhealthy foods would be most beneficial for public health, although if lawmakers were to start somewhere, a tax on sugary drinks would quickly have a noticeable impact. a US study found a 35% tax on sugar sweetened drinks ($0.45 (0.28; 0.34) per drink) in a canteen led to a 26% decline in sales. Meanwhile modelling studies predict a 20% tax on sugary drinks in the US would reduce obesity levels by 3.5%, and suggest that extending VAT (at 17.5%) to unhealthy foods in the UK could cut up to 2700 heart disease deaths a year. source: BMJ.com Under the Influence of Public Policy Makers Americans collective unhealthiness drives the largest healthcare and medical industries in the world, generating about $2.2 trillion dollars in 2006. These industries alone pump millions of dollars to persuade public policy in their favor. And let us not forget the food industry comprised of a declining number of large food and beverage companies, with the top 10 accounting for about 45% of industry sales in 2012, led by Pepsico, Tyson Foods and Nestle. These companies spend tens of millions of dollars annually lobbying public officials so that policy favors their interests. A healthy and natural food diet advocates do not have lobbyists working overtime to persuade our lawmakers into believing that a new policy based on the promotion of a natural diet might benefit public health and reduce many Americans medical bills. Assuming, of course, that government and industry want lower medical bills. Under this modicum of corporate influence of public health policy, it is no surprise that there is no public effort to encourage people to eat less and eat better. This would be bad for business, and such efforts would encounter strong opposition from food industry, medical and pharmaceutical giants. The recent shift and growing popularity of buying local and organic food already has the leading food producers concerned, hence their aggressive acquisitions of smaller organic producers. The leading food processors are not likely to easily allow policies that encourage local farms and subsidize healthy food producers, unless they can also reap the benefits without hurting their conventional business, which seems rather unlikely, considering that conventional business is processed, denatured foods. Feeding Consumers a Mixed Message There have been many local and state efforts throughout the US to implement taxes on sugary drinks. Largely, these efforts are quickly abandoned as soft-drink companies throw millions of dollars into lobbying and publicity campaigns that focus on the consumers right to choose. Theyre concerned about our freedom. However, New York City recently set what could end up being a nationwide precedent for regulating the size of soft drinks: On Thursday [Sept. 2012] the New York City Health Department became the first in the nation to ban the sale of sugared beverages larger than 16 oz. at restaurants, mobile food carts, sports arenas and movie theaters. Its a bold experiment in the anti-obesity campaign, and while its widely supported by health professionals, its not popular with food retailers or most city residents. source: Time So what is the message that Americans are getting from their government? On the one hand, discussion of a natural diet is left out of the debate as per the will of industry, and on the other, we are to face criminal violations for indulging in that which is most heavily promoted to us. And with fines of up to $200 for violation, the citys purveyors of tasty drinks are likely to be compelled into compliance. So does this mean that the the world famous Coca-Cola billboard in Times Square will now be encouraging thirsty tourists to break the law? The Right Thing is So Confusing We all should have the right to choose what we drink, but often the information we are given to make these decisions is misleading. For example, raw milk producers have had to face strong policy opposition and even persecution, with many consumers not allowed to buy raw milk due to its potential health dangers. Yet fast food establishments have been given the green light in every corner of our great nation. So what are Americans to do? Advocating Nothing Advocating higher taxation in any form is unconscionable in this economy and with a government as widely corrupt as is the US government and many state and municipal level governments. The tax burden on the American citizen is already overwhelming and it is clear that no level of taxation can resolve the astronomical national debt we have accrued under the fiat money system overseen by the privately held Federal Reserve. In a big way, this means that the American people are facing a serious catch-22 when it comes to public health: we are fined if we do, and we are doomed if we dont. General food policies that encourage healthy eating and subsidize healthy food production are just two examples of how government could educate the public and make healthy food more affordable, but this would require a break from the corporate influenced system of policy making we have today, which is highly unlikely to occur without much more participation from an aware public. Once again, the solution to one of societys greatest problems is left up to the individual. With industry and government competing for your shopping dollars, your tax dollars, and control over your plate, the need for healthy, informed and active Americans has never been greater.

1	Saying that the recently released Wells report on patterns of harassment within the Miami Dolphins locker room doesnt tell the whole story, offensive lineman Richie Incognito expressed disappointment to reporters Wednesday that the 144-page account left out the best stuff he did to former teammate Jonathan Martin. I was hoping that this would finally set the record straight on all the great shit I did to that Jmart loser, but it doesnt even come close, said Incognito, claiming that the independent reports detailed descriptions of the racial slurs, homophobic taunts, and personal threats he directed toward Martin failed to do justice to the extent of his totally hilarious abuse. I mean, I read the entire report, and they didnt even mention the time I pissed in his Gatorade cup and then watched him drink it. And how about what me and [teammate Mike] Pouncey did to him while he was sleeping on that flight? Whoever wrote this garbage just wasnt paying attention. Incognito added that in order to clear this whole thing up, he was in the process of writing up a 680-page addendum to the Wells report that he hopes to release to the public later this week. 
2	White House Attacks Fox News After They Release THIS Incriminating Story On Obama Last year, President Barack Obama angered Americans after he made a controversial deal to release five senior Taliban terrorists from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for U.S. soldier Bowe Bergdahlwithout the approval and support of Congress. To justify their actions, the administration celebrated the return of a solider they claimed was a hero and a man of honor. Shortly after making media headlines, however, Bergdahls former platoon mates came forward to tell the real story: Bergdahl was a deserter who was captured after abandoning his post in 2009. Now, the controversy continues as sources confirm that the Pentagon had already determined the Bergdahl was a deserter at the time of the exchange. Although it could not be proved, the Obama administration had an awareness of Bergdahls status before they released the prisoners. Admiral Mike Mullen, the then chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and military adviser to Obama, was made aware of the evidence against the captured hero in December of 2009, when he spoke with Bergdahls platoon mates in person. Clearly, the Obama administration did not think that this information would come to light, or they would have been more careful parading Bergdahl around like a hero to justify their actions. What do you think? Are you sick of being lied to by the Obama administration? 
3	Conspiracy Theorists Oppose Planned Government Big Brother Internet Surveillance: British Home SecretaryBrit Dee, Contributor On Thursday the government will publish in draft form details of a bill called the Communications Capabilities Development Programme (CCDP) which, if passed, will allow the police and intelligence services real-time access to details of all British phone calls and Internet activity. The bill will therefore allow the state total surveillance of all British communications including phone numbers and email addresses of people you have been in contact with, as well as exactly where and when the contact took place without the need for a warrant, or even any suspicion that you have been involved in criminal activity. Responding to the outcry from those who see the legislation for what it is a massive ramping up of the Big Brother state May blithely dismissed critics by saying that she didnt understand why some people might criticise these proposals. I have no doubt conspiracy theorists will come up with some ridiculous claims about how these measures are an infringement of freedom. But without changing the law, the only freedom we would protect is that of criminals, terrorists and paedophiles. The bill follows proposals originally drawn up by the previous Labour government that were scrapped in November 2009 due to widespread criticism. In a clear example of how political parties shamelessly abandon election pledges once power has been secured, the current Conservative and Liberal coalition had promised to dismantle Labours intrusive surveillance society if elected; the Conservative shadow home secretary at the time, Dominic Grieve, even published a policy paper entitled Reversing the Rise of the Surveillance State. With some people growing cynical of government fearmongering about the threat of Al Qaeda terrorism in order to pass repressive legislation, the authorities have instead decided to exploit the highly emotive issue of paedophilia to justify their new plans. May has claimed that such a law will help stop child sex grooming gangs, such as the one recently broken up in Rochdale, northern England. As usual May has made no mention of the obvious dangers in addition to the huge infringement of civil liberties posed by such a scheme. There are serious implications in terms of how such a large amount of personal and sensitive data could possibly be stored securely. As Guy Hosein of Privacy International noted back in February, This will be ripe for hacking. Every hacker, every malicious threat, every foreign government is going to want to access this. Big Brother is watching and he will be watching even more intently, if this horrendously repressive bill is passed.

3	Confusion surrounds ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas as Ahmadinejad congratulates victoryMadison Ruppert, Contributor Yet the ceasefire talks themselves are surrounded with a cloud of confusion as Ismail Haniya, the Hamas prime minister, announced progress regarding restrictions on the movements of fishermen and farmers in the border area, which the Israeli prime ministers office denied, The New York Times reports. Haniya claimed that the Egyptian intelligence service, the entity responsible for getting the first ceasefire agreement in place, informed him that the fishermens limit had been extended to six nautical miles instead of the three nautical mile limit previously in place. Mark Regev, a spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, however, said on Saturday that nothing has changed on the ground or at sea until it is agreed to by Israel and Egypt. Regev declined to confirm or deny if there was another meeting slated for Monday, as Hamas claimed, while also refusing to discuss the question of Palestinian movements in the so-called buffer zone, the 1,000-foot strip of land on Gazas northern and eastern borders where the shooting broke out on Friday, according to the Times. Instead, Regev simply claimed that there was an immediate halt to all hostile activities despite Israeli troops firing on Gazans on Friday. Masour added that Israel has used excessive and lethal force against Palestinian civilians in recent days, according to Irans Press TV. The arrangements negotiated with Egypt led to an immediate cessation of hostile activities, said Regev. All other factors will be negotiated in an expeditious manner directly with the Egyptians. This alleged cessation of hostile activities has not stopped Americans from demonstrating against the conflict. One such demonstration took place on Saturday in Florida, including groups ranging from Friends of Human Rights to St. Pete for Peace to the Islamic Community of Tampa. Meanwhile, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad congratulated Haniya on a great victory over Israel during a telephone call, as confirmed by both sides and reported by Pakistans Daily Times. Haniya thanked Iran for its support while Iranian news outlet ISNA reported that Ahmadinejad congratulated the people of Gaza and the [Palestinian] resistance facing Zionist aggression on their great victory, according to AFP. According to AFP, the office of Haniya stated that in their phone call late Friday Ahmadinejad praised Gazas victory after eight days of Israeli aggression. We stand beside the Palestinian people, Ahmadinejad reportedly added. On Wednesday, Ali Larijani, speaker of the Iranian parliament, said that Iran supplied Hamas with military aid, according to AFP. We are proud to defend the people of Palestine and Hamas and that our assistance to them has been both financial and military, Larijani reportedly stated. However, General Mohammad Ali Jafari, the chief of Irans Revolutionary Guard Corps said that they indeed supplied the technology for the Fajr-5 missiles that hit Israel but Jafari denied that they actually supplied the weapons themselves. Instead, he said that the Fajr-5 was being rapidly produced within Gaza. Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal thanked Iran on Wednesday because, according to him, they had a role in arming Hamas. Larijani, addressing a crowd in Istanbul, Turkey, said that Israel actually faced defeat in this latest operation, adding, You should rest assured that the Zionist regime [of Israel] has harder days ahead, according to Press TV. Press TV also reports that Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary general of Hezbollah, congratulated all the Muslims on the Palestinian resistance fighters recent victory over Israel, saying that Tel Aviv failed to achieve its goals in its eight-day offensive in the Gaza Strip. The confusion surrounding the ceasefire agreement and what will become of it over the coming days remains to be seen, but the veil of secrecy is hardly conducive to an unambiguous picture of the talks.

Shortly after watching the film, Michael Moore sent this tweet: 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. The comment from the filmmaker of Bowling for Columbine is not being taken lightly.

3	Circumstances Demand Accountability from Bureaucracy OppressionBy Catherine J Frompovich We have GMO food forced down our throats by the U.S. FDA not allowing GMO labeling apparently in order to protect vested interests in GE/GMO food patents; daily chemtrail poisons [6] sprayed down upon us like bugs in a field; utility company AMI smart meters spewing out hundreds, if not thousands, of Hz than the electric wires of our homes are designed to handle, thereby creating dirty electricity, which causes Non-thermal adverse health effects; our municipal drinking waters poisoned with fluoride under the guise of protecting our teeth when kids now get too much fluoride and their teeth are damaged (dental fluorosis) [2]; plus all the permanent damage to infants, toddlers, teens and adults from neurotoxic and chemical-laden vaccines [3]; genetically engineered mosquitoes; and the Zika virus [4a-b]? Have you had enough yet? But, why are we so sheepish about looking at what presents itself as obvious prosecutorial evidence and not demanding accountability? Heres a perfect example using parallel situations: The Simpsonwood CDC/FDA embargoed vaccine-autism meeting [1] contrasted with the Flint, Michigan, lead water problem that went on for two or more years. Simpsonwood Meeting (June, 2000) Dr Johnsons saying, Our first male in the line of the next generation, and I do not want that grandson to get a Thimerosal containing vaccine until we know better what is going on, according to the transcript. Dr. Johnson, pg. 198: This association leads me to favor a recommendation that infants up to two years old not be immunized with Thimerosal containing vaccines if suitable alternative preparations are available. My gut feeling? It worries me enough. Forgive this personal comment, but I got called out at eight oclock for an emergency call and my daughter-in-law delivered a son by C-section. Our first male in the line of the next generation, and I do not want that grandson to get a Thimerosal containing vaccine until we know better what is going on. It will probably take a long time. In the meantime, and I know there are probably implications for this internationally, but in the meantime I think I want that grandson to only be given Thimerosal-free vaccines. [1] Wasnt it apparent those doctors knew what was going on from the data that was presented at clandestine Simpsonwood, if Dr Johnson made such incriminating a statement? And still, Thimerosal is in vaccines! CDC says vaccines are Thimerosal / Mercury Free, but then when one checks the legend on CDCs website, in the column designated Approval Date for Thimerosal Free or Thimerosal / Preservative Free (Trace Thimerosal)*** Formulation, and you go to the triple asterisk, this is what you find: ***The term trace has been taken in this context to mean 1 microgram of mercury per dose or less. [CJF emphasis added] So, are vaccines Thimerosal/mercury-free? Is the moon made of green cheese? And those vaccines still are being injected into infants, toddlers, teens, and adults while the public is being told vaccines are mercury-free! Have you had enough yet? Flint, Michigan Government Officials Emails Emails [7] show that Flint government officials knew and bought clean water for themselves while residents unknowingly were forced to drink, be billed and pay for, lead poisoned water for a yearperhaps more! Whats the difference between Dr Johnsons not allowing his grandson receive a Thimerosal vaccine (the Precautionary Principle?), when, contradictorily, all U.S. kids were mandated to receive, and continued to get, Thimerosal-preserved vaccines contrasted with Flint city government officials buying clean water for their consumptionin order to have a choicewhile all of Flints residents were forced to drink and bathe in lead poisoned water? Where was their choice? Have you had enough?

I ALWAYS read your articles, Catherine, you do a great job of investigating. My husband was a virologist/immunologist for many years and has told me that NO AMOUNT of mercury is safe. Thanks for including the CDCs asterisked statement, very telling. Yes, it seems to me that 95% of the serious problems are caused by .gov and by those that can buy .gov. Until the general public feels the effects of the governments war on the population and habitually nullifies government or bureaucratic prosecutions, we are doomed to suffer. Perhaps the water issue will cause people in Michigan to shake off the chains of the Democrat party and seek justice. (I know the governor is Republican but his will be a Democrat response: What difference can I make?) While completely necessary for any forward progress, any form of accountability at this point in time will come with a plethora of unseen implications. America as a whole has been very unaccountable for quite a substantial amount of time. From its citizens, to its workings, to the nations it shares the planet with. There will be accountability, and it will spurn a domino like effect of all the inappropriate behaviors of americas past. It will not stand any scrutiny of even the lightest of investigations. Im just ready to get it over with at this point.. Hopefully, and yet somehow I feel doubtfully, every one will come to understand the nature of the beast that they have placed at the helm.

He Needs Your Support In the past week, weve watched the liberal media scramble to portray Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton as the winner of Mondays debates. They made continuous claims that viewers thought Hillary Clinton won by an overwhelming margin. Of course, Fox News Sean Hannity was not buying their story. When referencing online polls, he argued, Trump was shown to be the winner. And online polls are where people are free to speak their minds and vote directly. Some Fox News executives criticized Hannity for pushing this science. As most of the publications themselves clearly state, the sample obviously cant be representative of the electorate because they only reflect the views of those Internet users who have chosen to participate, Dana Blanton commented. Another problemwe know some campaigns/groups of supporters encourage people to vote in online polls and flood the results. These quickie click items do not meet our editorial standards, she concluded. But Hannity did not back down. Youve got this list of polls, Donald Trump wins, he argued. You watch TV, Hillary Clinton wins. The online polls show you guys won in overwhelming margins, Brian Kilmeade commented, backing up Hannitys claims. What do you think? Which polls do you believe? 
3	TX Cop Coaxes Friendly Dog In Order to Kill HimAmanda Warren I post things like this not to go along with the tide of Americans getting used to it or encourage feelings of terror, but to show the true nature of police who indiscriminately shoot and kill dogs. Why do they do it? It goes beyond just because they can. One things for certain, it is not the fault of the pet owners which can easily be determined from watching. Thats a faulty, repeated narrative that will hopefully exit soon. From My Fox Philly News: The dog named Maximus appears to be wagging his tail in the video before hes shot. According to the officer, the dog took an aggressive posture and growled before he shot the dog three times, killing him. As you can see, thats another lie. A lie oft repeated in similar shootings. Interestingly, you can see two versions of another lie put out by the department offering the reasoning behind the shooting. One from My Fox Philly and one from Daily Mail. Neither makes sense and neither helps calm the nerves of nearby residents. Also notable, Daily Mail reports that the dog owner and the original 911 caller have moved out of the neighborhood. The officer is now under investigation. Police State USA also has a report on the situation, quoting the officer report where his justification for the shooting is offered. Scary thing? Officers who do this convince themselves of the reasoning and truly believe they are justified in blasting animals away. See Justice 4 Maximus Facebook page for updates, protest planned. Have you ever gone back to find footage only to see it is removed or that the audio is stripped? That seems to be happening a lot lately, so one hopes that the embedded video above maintains the audio as the true nature of the shooting isnt fully evident without the audio. A YouTube video I had open for this article now displays the following, but Police State USA still has theirs up:

2	McDonalds Workers Wont Have To Worry About Minimum Wage After THIS According to recent reports, liberal fast food workers have started demanding $15/hr. This wage is absolutely ridiculous for the type of working being done. Now, McDonalds have taken actions to make a new computerized kiosk and a brand new menu, which seems to be a hit throughout the country. Some suspect that these changes are meant to counteract protests by SEIU and other unions, along with workers demanding higher pay. Los Angeles and Seattle have both already voted to dramatically increase their minimum wage, and were guessing that McDonalds has realized that technology can take the place of some human resources. Some have used the improvements to demonize McDonalds, but the truth is, all businesses base their success on their bottom line. What do you think of the ridiculous new demands? 
1	Concerned that the Green Party presidential candidate and lifelong bachelor is lonely, citizens across the country are trying to set up Ralph Nader on a date. The single and available Nader. 'This is a real grassroots effort,' said Melissa Partridge, director of the Coalition To Find Ralph Nader A Special Someone, a D.C.-based matchmaking service for the 66-year-old consumer advocate. 'Americans of diverse backgrounds are joining together for a common cause: to find Mr. Nader a nice female companion, ideally someone between the ages of 55 and 70 who shares his hobbies and interests. That would make us all feel a lot better.' 'Poor Ralph just looks so sad out there on the campaign trail, giving his little speeches about the excessive concentration of power and wealth in a few hands,' said reporter Georgia Barnett, who has been covering the Nader campaign for The Washington Post. 'I really think he'd feel better if he weren't out there all alone.' Continued Barnett: 'The date doesn't have to be fancy or anything. Maybe they can just go out for pizza. And if, for some reason, it doesn't work out, that's totally fine. There's absolutely no pressure.' Nader, whose support has been as high as 8 percent in recent polls, has helped reinvigorate the progressive left in American politics, bringing such topics as free trade, the environment, and campaign-finance reform to the fore and prompting millions of Americans to express concern for his social life. 'Ralph Nader wants to shake the Democratic Party out of its complacency and remind it that it was once the party of working families and organized labor,' AFL-CIO spokeswoman Maria Nieves said. 'He's very knowledgeable and sympathetic to the plight of blue-collar workers, most notably in his call for a substantial increase in the minimum wage. And he'd be just perfect for my Aunt Stella.' Nieves said that her aunt, Stella Hidalgo, is a 61-year-old San Francisco attorney who specializes in worker-compensation claims. 'Like Mr. Nader, Aunt Stella is a lawyer, and her clientele is mainly made up of working-class Latinos who otherwise couldn't afford legal representation,' Nieves said. 'She also has this weekend free. Wink, wink.' Ray Kelleher, an unemployed Bowling Green, KY, autoworker who has become disenchanted with what he called the Clinton-Gore Administration's 'kowtowing to big business,' said he has an attractive, intelligent 55-year-old sister who is currently single. The Matchmakers Dating Service form Nader reluctantly filled out at the urging of colleagues. 'Mary Ellen was the first woman in our family to attend college, and she's extremely well-read and well-traveled,' Kelleher said. 'She's raised two terrific children, Patrick and Stacey, and she's a public librarian, so if Ralph ever needed research material on a given topic, she could get it for him in no time flat. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself here, but I would be happy to provide the necessary introductions, should Ralph be passing through Bowling Green during his campaign.' The Coalition To Find Ralph Nader A Special Someone has also found some promising potential lady-friends for Nader. 'There's Dianne Panos, a Harvard-educated linguist and outspoken opponent of uranium mining on Indian reservations,' Partridge said. 'Jane Conroy embarked on a five-year crusade to keep a corporate hog farm from being built near her rural North Carolina town, and not only did she succeed, but she is a divorcee looking for friendship and maybe more. And though she is still coping with the recent death of her spouse, I certainly wouldn't rule out Washington, D.C. fair-trade advocate Midge Wollensky.' Continued Partridge: 'And Mr. Nader, if you're reading this, Nancy Rosenblum, a Maricopa County bioethicist and leading critic of genetic crop modification, thinks you're really cute!' Partridge also urged Nader not to look past Green Party vice-presidential candidate Winona LaDuke, saying, 'Sometimes, true love is right there under your nose. Besides, what better life mate than a running mate?' Yet the attempts to fix Nader up with a date may prove futile. On numerous occasions over the years, Nader himself has said he consciously forswore a family life to devote himself fully to the cause of consumer advocacy. A workaholic who lives ascetically, Nader has been compared to a monk by colleagues and critics alike. 'These matchmakers should throw in the towel,' New York Times political columnist Maureen Dowd said. 'Nader received a calling early in life, a calling to which he remains zealously loyal. Still, wouldn't that be just the cutest thing in the world if, at 66, he got his first steady girlfriend?' Dowd sighed wistfully and gazed out her office window. At a campaign stop in Olympia, WA, Nader spoke to reporters about the sudden attention being paid to his love life. 'Since the start of my candidacy, I have focused on the issues that genuinely affect the American people,' Nader said. 'This recent interest in my personal life is not surprising, given the media's love of shallow, tabloid-style celebrity journalism. Today's mainstream political reportage is more personality-driven than issue-oriented, to the great detriment of the democratic process. I thank the Coalition To Find Ralph Nader A Special Someone for its concern, and I'm sure all these women are terrific, but these efforts are misguided. People would be better off spending their time focusing not on me, but on the things I have to say.' Added Nader: 'Did that bioethicist really say she thought I was cute?'

1	WASHINGTON, DCAccording to Gallup Poll results released Monday, 6 percent of Americans are still undecided about whether to vote against President Bush or Democratic challenger John Kerry in November's presidential election. Election 2004 'At first, I was really leaning toward voting against Kerry, because the way he tried to hide his ambivalence about his military service made him seem like a political operator,' poll participant and Trenton, NJ resident Amber Barthelme said. 'But then, the Bush Administration's mishandling of the Iraqi prisoner-abuse scandal got me thinking that there's a lot to not like about the current administration. It's almost impossible to decide which side I don't want to be on.' According to the poll, 46 percent of the registered voters surveyed would vote against Bush if the election were held tomorrow, while 45 percent said they were ready to vote against Kerry. Factoring in the 2 percent margin of error, the two candidates are essentially deadlocked in the race to determine which candidate America doesn't support. Researcher Jack Harmon, an analyst for the independent Beltway think tank the Dewey-Markham Institute, said these undecided Americans will be crucial in deciding the next election. 'As the messy occupation of Iraq drags on, Bush's approval rating continues to drop, strengthening the position of the anti-Bush voting bloc,' Harmon said. 'This trend is offset by the Bush camp's $80 million anti-Kerry ad campaign, which has cemented anti-Kerry sentiment in several key swing states. As the election approaches, it's becoming more and more difficult to determine the likely loser.' Harmon said voters are conflicted, wanting to cast environmental and antiwar votes against Bush, but wishing also to oppose Kerry's position on taxation. 'The two major parties face a tough struggle,' Harmon said. 'As the election approaches, both must convince undecided voters that the opposing party's candidate is worse than their own. As both parties take more moderate positions in an election year, it's getting harder to convince citizens that there's a reason to get out there and vote against anyone.' Brad Thomas, a Louisiana machinist, is one of many Americans who have yet to decide whom they'll vote against. Many voters are still deciding whether Kerry or Bush would be worse as president. 'I'd like to say I'm against Bush because he lied about weapons of mass destruction,' Thomas said. 'On the other hand, Kerry's lack of substantive positions really disgusts me, as well.' Tina Schalek, a Branson, MO theater manager, said she is also undecided. 'John Kerry's only virtue is that he hasn't been in a position to make any major mistakes,' Schalek said. 'On the other hand, I hate Bush's views on abortion. My only consolation is that a vote against either candidate is a vote against Nader.' In spite of such ambivalence among swing voters, surveys reveal that the majority of Americans have determined which candidate they will vote against. 'It's time to trim the Bush from the White House,' Akron, OH resident Doug Hamm said. 'In 2004, it's time for Bush to get bushwhacked!' Pressed to elaborate on his views, Hamm said, 'To be honest, Kerry could be a guy with a paper bag over his head, for all I care. I'd vote for anybody as long as he wasn't Bush.' Karla Barr of Chicago had similarly strong opinions about Kerry. 'Kerry is a wishy-washy flip-flopper, changing his tune every time the wind blows,' Barr said, repeating a phrase she'd heard on The Rush Limbaugh Show. 'Can I trust a man who can't make up his mind about Communism? I don't think so.' Added Barr: 'We have to remember how close the 2000 election was, when we voted against Gore. Actually, to be fair, when I voted against Gore, I was voting against Clinton.' 
3	Why Whooping Cough Vaccine Does Not Work As AdvertisedSayer Ji, Contributor I was a member of the WHO committee and disagreed with the primary case definition because it was clear at that time that this definition would eliminate a substantial number of cases and therefore inflate reported efficacy values. 411 Nevertheless, the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research of the Food and Drug Administration accepted this definition, and package inserts of the US-licensed DTaP vaccines reflect this. The article, written by James D. Cherry, and published in the July. 2012 edition of Pediatrics, the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, pointed out that following the 2010 pertussis epidemic in California, there was considerable concern in the press and in public health communications about the possible contribution of vaccine failures to the problem. At that time, the media and government health officials focused on the lack of sufficient vaccine coverage and subsequent waning herd immunity, without questioning whether pertussis vaccination actually results in effective immunization, which clearly it was not. Perhaps already a tacit acknowledgement that the vaccines are much less effective than what the manufacturers state is the fact that the CDC recommends infants and children get the DTaP vaccine no less than 5 times by age 6 (2 months, 4 months, 6 months, and 15 months through 18 months of age, with a booster at 4 through 6 years of age). Since the 1993 pertussis epidemic in Cincinnati occurred primarily among children who had been appropriately immunized, it is clear that the whole-cell pertussis vaccine failed to give full protection against the disease.[ii] More recently, in Kings County Washington, between 2002-2007, of the 176 cases of pertussis in infants under age one, 77% were age-appropriately vaccinated.[iii] Ultimately, the World Health Organizations arbitrary and vaccine-friendly case definitions distort and occlude the fact that the incidence of pertussis is actually rising in many countries which is all the more disturbing considering that primary immunization with 3 doses of the pertussis vaccine within the first 6 months of life now exists in most countries because of the WHOs global push towards universal vaccination.[iv] This is all the more suspect considering that crowded conditions, poor nutrition, lack of hygiene and sanitation, and other environmental factors which affect immune function (immune state determines susceptibility to infection) are not even part of the discussion. Furthermore, a great number of serious, if not also sometimes fatal adverse effects have been identified to be unintended, adverse effects of pertussis and DPaT vaccination. How can we continue to justify, therefore, the use of a vaccine that lacks effectiveness which may also cause severe harm to children who are in their pre-vaccinated state already healthy?

2	Norway Deports Record Number Of Muslims, Crime Rate Drops Dramatically... Donald Trump has been criticized immensely for his argument that there should be a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country until our government has a better grasp of what is happening. Now, it appears that other countries are taking even more drastic measuresand they are turning out to be successful. Norway, for example, has started an effective campaign against crime. The program began deporting Muslims with ties to radical groups, and liberals have been desperately calling for its end. Still, the program has had an undeniable impact on the country, with violent crime down more than 30 percent. The liberal population demands that the program must end, and that it unfairly targets a religion. The countrys leaders are insisting the majority of the deportees had returned to Norway illegally or had committed crimes. What do you think of Norways strategy?

They just keep calling, one after the other, saying I cant make it another week, or I dont think I can keep going out there, said Bloomquist, adding that the hotline has begun hiring extra help specifically for Sunday nights to field the countless calls from distraught players and coaches. The rule is never to lie to anybody, but how else am I supposed to tell these guys that everything will be okay? I mean, anybody can see there isnt a glimmer of hope on that whole damn roster, but I cant tell them that. Wed lose every one of them before they even hit their bye week.

2	Russell Wilson Was Told Not To Speak About God And His Faith, So He Does THIS Instead When Seahawks Quarterback Russell Wilson was interviewed for Super Bowl XLIX Media, he shocked journalists with his answers about how he wants to remembered. In terms of my legacy on the field I want to be considered a winner, Wilson began. Thats ultimately the goal in terms of playing quarterback is win, win. In terms of my legacy off the field, I want to be a Christian man that helps lead, and change lives and helps serve other people. Its not about me, its not about me. Its about helping other people. And thats where I keep my focus more than anything. Wilson has been very vocal about his faith during his time in the NFL, and has received both praise and criticism for it. In terms of my faith, my faith is everything: God comes first, family and friends come second, and football comes third, Wilson concluded. I think when you keep it in that order, great things happen to you. You dont stress out about much. What do you think of Wilsons statements? Do you support him in his Christian beliefs?

He decided to snap a photo, and now many are seeing hes captured evidence of a ghost. The image was posted to Toowoomba Ghost Chasers Facebook page, and through the brush there appears to be a bald man, standing with a short beard and a red jumper. This was shared by a member who went out hiking at a local Toowoomba water hole known for suicides, the post read. He all of a sudden felt as though he was being watch and followed and he felt an awful feeling of dread wash over him. Then when going back through his photos he finds this. David claims that he still experiences that feeling of dread when he looks at the picture. Oddly enough Ive been experiencing a similar feeling of dread every once in a while over the last week, he wrote. Ill be walking down the street and all of a sudden feel like something is about to jump out at me from behind a tree. Users have now erupted into a debate over the image. What do you think? Can you see a man in this picture?

'Oh, there will be some endorsements, and he'll be brought up a couple times during the London games, and naturally we can't rule out trivia questions,' said Marita Sturken, a media and culture expert at New York University. 'But in the end, Mike Phillips will be just another footnote in history.' An informal survey of prominent newspapers, websites, and magazines found that mentions of the once-prominent swimmer's name are already becoming scarce, especially towards the conclusion of shorter articles.

The event is called Burn American Flags and calls for individuals from throughout the United States to attend the burning at Fort Greene Park and set fire to this symbol of oppression. Organizers of the event claim to be spurred by the actions of Charleston shooter Dylann Roof, and claim that his actions were not ones of an isolated actor but rather the production of a consistent pattern of state-sponsored terrorism and radicalized dehumanization in America. While the event originally intended to burn the Confederate flag, it has now switched to the traditional American flag We find it a sign of the times that people can care so much about a piece of cloth, while at the same time be so quiet about black churches being burned all over the country, one post on the group Facebook said. Perhaps this is the great difference between us and the so-called patriots. While they express their loyalty to symbols, we express our loyalty to the lives of the oppressed. What do you think of the groups plans for the Fourth of July? Do they need to be stopped, NOW? 
3	Police try to buy videos from witnesses after releasing attack dog on families and firing rubber bulletsMadison Ruppert, Contributor Usually, we see people get arrested, brutally beaten, or labeled professional agitators for legally filming police activities. Trying to actually buy the video from the witnesses is, at least in my opinion, a novel tactic in the ongoing war on accountability. The video (at the bottom of the post) is nothing short of disturbing as it shows police shooting seemingly wildly into a crowd which includes young children and, most troubling of all, it even shows police releasing a dog which heads straight for a mother and her child. The mother was able to react quickly enough to get her child out of harms way but a bystander wasnt so lucky. We see the dog clamp down on his arm in the video as he is struggling to break free from the jaws of the police attack dog while officers try to separate them. The individuals gathered in order to protest the shooting which they maintain was unjustified of a young man at the hands of police. The shooting occurred on Saturday around 4 PM in front of an apartment complex after a foot chase, according to Orange County Sergeant Bob Dunn, quoted by the Associated Press. While the family of the man shot by police as well as neighbors all identified him as Manuel Diaz, Dunn could not initially confirm the individuals name. However, later the above linked story was updated in order to reflect that 24-year-old Manuel Diaz was identified although there is still an investigation into what actually led the police to kill him. The 16-year-old nice of Diaz, Daisy Gonzalez, informed the Orange County Register that her uncle probably fled because he had previous negative experiences with law enforcement. an angry group of people began yelling and throwing bottles at them. While the people did not look all too aggressive, they were referred to as an unruly crowd and the scene was described as a near riot. From the clips published from eyewitness video, we cannot see anything of the sort. We only see cops shooting rubber bullets left and right at women and children, releasing an attack dog and families fleeing the chaos. One person interviewed by KCAL 9 mentioned that they saw a water bottle go flying before the attack began, indicating that the throwing of a water bottle might have been what sparked the police action. Indeed, the Associated Press reports that Dunn stated that the entire encounter began when an angry group of people began yelling and throwing bottles at them. In an attempt to explain away the attack dog getting out and heading straight for a mother and her child in a stroller before attacking a mans arm, Dunn claimed that the dog was deployed accidentally. UPDATE: Several hours after the original publishing, the Associated Press story above was changed significantly. It had previously been at least twice as long as it is now, and the mention of just bottles being thrown at police has changed. Now they report that the killing of Diaz, sparked a melee in the neighborhood as some threw rocks and bottles at police. Officers fired rubber bullets and pepper spray to suppress the crowd. The mention of the video, the mention of the attack dog, etc. are all mysteriously gone, although they added that five people were arrested during the incident. Personally, I see this type of response as indefensible from law enforcement. Police officers should in no way be justified in firing upon women and children with highly dangerous weaponry because people are throwing bottles and now supposedly rocks as well. Whatever the rationale might be, when you see this response on video it becomes very clear that it is in no way warranted and just goes to show how far gone some members of our law enforcement community already are. Thankfully there are still some good police officers out there. Unfortunately, since they seem to be getting increasingly rare, were seeing these heroes become targets for harassment or in one case even a detainee in a psychiatric ward. If we dont do something to show just how reprehensible and unacceptable this behavior truly is, we can only expect police insanity. If we do nothing, all we can do is hope that its only people getting arrested for dancing. Did I forget anything or miss any errors? Would you like to make me aware of a story or subject to cover?

1	Reflecting a significant shift in societal attitudes and behaviors, a survey completed this week by researchers at the University of Southern California revealed that American adults are watching far better sex than ever before. The initial findings, which sociologists gathered from thousands of telephone and in-person interviews as well as field observations, confirmed that the sex that U.S. citizens now see on screen is considerably more adventurous, passionate, and satisfying than any they have previously experienced. Based on our data, the American people are now regularly viewing the highest quality sex of their lives, which is characterized by stronger connections with those on screen and longer, more fulfilling climaxes, said lead researcher Patricia Oberlin, adding that the vast majority of those surveyed claimed they have watched mind-blowing or earth-shattering sex within the past five days. Every demographic that we queriedindividuals and couples, young and old, males and females, gay and straighttheyre all engaging in rich and rewarding sex-watching lives, with many respondents reporting that they never imagined they would ever see such thrilling sex. We found that Americans now routinely take part in watching wild, energetic sexual intercourse, which often lasts for greater lengths of time, Oberlin continued. And the frequency of sex viewing in the U.S. has increased as well, with many people saying they watch sex every day of the week and occasionally two times per night. All in all, Americans sex-viewing lives are incredibly active. Sociologists attributed the improved quality of copulation that Americans are watching to an increased level of attention paid to their particular desires during sex-viewing. This heightened level of comfort and empowerment while watching sex, according to researchers, has allowed the general public to shed their inhibitions and view a wider variety of erotic acts, with many Americans reportedly experimenting with different or unfamiliar positions, toys, age groups, and ethnic and racial backgrounds to keep their viewing lives fresh and interesting. Earlier in their lives, people might have only been exposed to an old-fashioned sexual viewing experience where the sex was fairly routine and the emphasis was entirely on pleasuring the male, but our data shows that this isnt always the case anymore, Oberlin said. In fact, we found that a large number of Americans even prefer to watch sex that focuses solely on female pleasure and doesnt involve men at all. Researchers confirmed that since the last time the survey was conducted, in 1989, there has been a large increase in watching forms of sex that were previously considered taboo, citing examples such as oral sex performed to the point of asphyxiation, fisting, and erotic lactation. While the study determined that vaginal intercourse is still by far the most commonly viewed sexual act in the U.S., more Americans, including a large percentage of women, indicated they are now open to watching fellatio, cunnilingus, anal penetration, and dominance and submission. I used to only watch the missionary position, which was kind of boring, but now, Ive been getting into watching sensual massages and role-playing stuff with cheerleader costumes, said Patrick Sanders, 38, a Phoenix-area husband and father of two. The truth is I used to have a lot of hang-ups and I couldnt even fathom watching a threesome with two men and one woman. In fact, the thought of seeing another guys penis during sex-viewing was just gross. But it turns out I was missing out on watching some really hot sex. At this point, Im completely fine seeing someone ejaculate on pretty much any body partin fact, thats something I discovered I actually enjoy viewing, added Sanders. Im even thinking of exploring watching bondage. Thats something I never could have viewed years ago. Researchers also found that Americans are spicing up their sex-watching lives by viewing intercourse in different settings such as bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, offices, classrooms, parks, college dorms, public spaces, and even moving vehicles. In addition, many of those surveyed said they are watching sex more spontaneously or viewing it at unusual times of day, which they said increased their arousal. Sometimes, Ill watch sex first thing in the morning before I roll out of bed and get ready for work, and its fantastic, said Mitch Watson, adding that he has never felt more alive. I thought I was watching pretty good sex in my 20s, but this is a whole new level. I know what I want to watch now, and its a little more unrestrained and kinky. Last week, my wife and I booked a hotel for a couple nights and spent the entire time in the room, continued Watson. We just ordered room service and watched great sex all weekend. 
1	Responding to a need for after-work recreation and support programs for area adults, The Den, a local middle-age activity center, opened last month to provide a fun, encouraging environment where 40-to-60-year-olds can interact with others their own age. Funded by a $1.2 million grant from the Omaha Adult Outreach Program for the purpose of 'helping our middle-age community achieve its full potential,' the new 14,000-square-foot facility offers an extensive library of self-help books, a large board-game room, an outdoor gardening area, dozens of comfortable couches and flat screen televisions, and a fully stocked liquor cabinet. 'It's really hard being a 47-year-old in this day and age,' said Daniel Harger, 22, the center's administrative director. 'A lot of folks we serve come from high-risk, single-parent households. We're here to reach out to them and let them know they belong somewhere.' 'When you hit middle age, it can feel like no one understands you, or even tries,' Harger added. 'Most of the adults who come in here are just looking for somebody to talk to.' Harger said the center welcomes all forty-somethings, but its staff makes sure to give extra attention to so-called latchkey adults, those who work eight-hour shifts and go home to an empty house. Open Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. until 1 a.m., The Den encourages its members to express themselves creatively by taking part in scrapbook seminars, trivia contests, swing-dance lessons, and divorce counseling. The center also offers a series of free health classes that teach middle-aged students the importance of getting regular cholesterol tests and what to expect when they go for their first colonoscopy. Glen Rohn, 44, a State Farm Insurance agent, said that before The Den opened there was 'nothing to do in this town.' 'I wish I was young enough to go to the bars, but I'm not,' Rohn said. 'It's cool to have a place where I can just be myself, drink a few beers, and play Scattergories with my friends.' Paula Lamberson, a 46-year-old mother of four, said the middle-age center appeals to her because it offers a safe haven where she can escape from pressures at home. Though she feels smothered by family members who place unreasonable expectations upon her, Lamberson said she fits in at The Den. 'My family's always getting on my case about how I never buy the right kind of cereal at the grocery store or how I didn't do a good enough job on their diorama for history class,' Lamberson said. 'But my friends here appreciate me. They know what my favorite Josh Groban song is.' When not scheduling a Julia Roberts movie night or field trips to Gerald Ford's birth site, the staff at The Den is busy showing patrons how to set up their AOL accounts and download MP3s of Sting's latest albumnot to mention helping them cope with those special challenges they begin to face in midlife. 'These adults may seem a little different because of their haircuts or the way they dress, but when you get to know them, they're actually pretty neat,' said counselor Marcus Hughs, 21. 'Most of the time they're just trying to deal with relationship problems, how they're going to pay for their kid's college tuition, or getting made fun of by teenagers.' 'And of course, they're still getting accustomed to the changes their bodies are going through,' Hughs added. 'It not easy when your hormones start to simmer down and suddenly you don't have hair in the same places you used to.' 
2	National Guard Sent Into Ferguson Guns Blazing After What Just Happened Although the debate regarding race has been raging in the United States for decades now, the debate has grown increasingly more hostile with recent accounts of white police officers shooting unarmed minorities. The event that sparked outrage was the shooting of Michael Brown by officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri. The area has since face ongoing rioting and unrest. Now, the government has stepped in an attempt to quiet the situation. Armored vehicles and National Guard Helicopters have been spotted in and over the area. Residents have started posting photos of the enforcement on their social media sites. Many speculate that the grand jury results in the Brown case are set to cause some major unrest in the city, and they are preparing for backlash. Two school districts have already issued letters to parents notifying them of safety procedures they will take following the announcement of the verdict. Some are concerned that the presence of the National Guard signals an overreach of government. What do you think? 
1	An international panel of leading anthropologists, cultural critics, biologists, and social theorists announced this week that Western civilization will reach its lowest conceivable point at 3:32 p.m. Friday. 'From the prehistoric Lascaux cave paintings to the stirring symphonies of Mozart to today's hot-dog eating competitions and action films with comical gerbils, culture has descended into a festering pool of mass ignorance,' said Yale sociologist Paul Riordan, who has spent his career analyzing western civilization's fall into the depths of depravity. 'If our calculations are correct, this complete erosion of all that is enlightened and unique will reach absolute rock bottom on the afternoon of Sept. 25, 2009.' Added Riordan, 'It is scientifically impossible for civilization to sink any lower than it will this Friday.' The panel said the upcoming nadir will be precipitated by a string of smaller devastating events. At 9 p.m. Wednesday the ABC sitcom Modern Family will premiere, marking the least-inspired creative endeavor ever attempted by modern man. This will reportedly be followed at 12:52 p.m. Thursday by the release of a new energy drink marketed exclusively to U.S. troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Experts predict that the penultimate catastrophe will occur at approximately 7:15 p.m. Thursday night, when the social networking tool Twitter will be used to communicate a series of ideas so banal they will instantaneously negate the three centuries of the Renaissance. 'The sciences, the arts, the humanitiesall aspects of society as a whole will reach their respective low-points in just a matter of days,' said anthropologist Robert Davidson, gesturing toward a nearby line graph illustrating western society's collapse. 'We've been charting this cultural descent for generations now, from the advent of New Wave music, to the rise of scientific creationism, right through to the trampling death of several Wal-Mart greeters on the morning after Thanksgiving. Everything has been leading up to this Friday.' According to the panel, the final event will occur at 3:32 p.m., when a tourist, believing the impressive structure to be a giant mall, will enter Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art, and, not finding what he is looking for, ask where 'the damn Radio Shack is supposed to be.' The man, dressed in Crocs and sweatpants and determined by researchers to be the final catalyst in humanity's epic downfall, will then loudly expel gas. 'This horrible but inevitable day has been a long time coming,' said Davidson, before picking up a black marker and, seemingly without thought or intent, drawing a long, thick phallus on his chart. 'And by the looks of things, it's almost here.' Some analysts believe the coming cultural sinkholethe most intellectually and spiritually degrading moment conceivable by science or philosophywill signal the end of mankind's decay and lead to a steady upward climb. Still, they warned, the event itself could be catastrophically lowbrow. 'With each passing minute, we're getting closer to a second Dark Ages,' said noted art critic Mark Lefevre, tearing out pages from his report, folding each into a paper airplane, and tossing decades of hard work around the room. 'Unless something is done to protect what little sophistication and refinement we have left, Western society may soon regress to a point of no return. We need to act, and act fast.' 'Come on,' added the two-time MacArthur 'genius grant' recipient, before stripping down to his undergarments and brandishing an automatic assault rifle. 'Let's get 'er done!' Despite the panel's findings, many are skeptical that humanity will reach its lowest depths on Friday, claiming the humiliations are likely to continue as ever-smaller terrier breeds begin to outsmart their owners, and disgraced former congressman Tom DeLay appears in the new season of Dancing With The Stars. Most chillingly, many agreed, is that while Michael Crichton's death has been a positive step, Dan Brown remains very much alive. 'We're talking about a society in which the name Newton is now more often associated with a fig-filled dessert than the scientist who revolutionized modern thought,' biologist Howard Thurston said. 'The human mind is endlessly inventive, and our species will always find new ways to completely discredit and embarrass itself.' As of press time, boobs. 
1	With the 2014 NFL Draft less than a month away, sources confirmed Tuesday that GMs from across the league are closely studying a Bleacher Report slideshow titled Ranking The Top 100 NFL Draft Prospects before making their final decisions. Dammit, we had [University of Michigan offensive tackle Taylor] Lewan going top 10, but we must have missed something at the combine, because hes ranked 17th on here, said Baltimore Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome, frantically rearranging the teams draft board while paging through the slideshow. See this? [Vanderbilt wide receiver] Jordan Matthews can get open and just seems to find the ballforget everybody else, we have to take this guy first round. Christ, why the hell werent we able to find out this info from our scouting reports? At press time, Newsome had decided to scrap the teams potential selections entirely after coming across a new mock draft posted on FanSided.com. 
3	Federal Court Throws Out Six Weeks of Warrantless Video SurveillanceBy Hanni Fakhoury The public got an early holiday gift today when a federal court agreed with us that six weeks of continuously video recording the front yard of someones home without a search warrant violates the Fourth Amendment. In United States v. Vargas local police in rural Washington suspected Vargas of drug trafficking. In April 2013, police installed a camera on top of a utility pole overlooking his home. Even though police did not have a warrant, they nonetheless pointed the camera at his front door and driveway and began watching every day. A month later, police observed Vargas shoot some beer bottles with a gun and because Vargas was an undocumented immigrant, they had probable cause to believe he was illegally possessing a firearm. They used the video surveillance to obtain a warrant to search his home, which uncovered drugs and guns, leading to a federal indictment against Vargas. Vargas moved to suppress the evidence and Senior U.S. District Court Judge Edward Shea invitedus to submit an amicus brief, which we filed late last year. After an evidentiary hearing, the judge wanted more information about the specific surveillance equipment the government was using, details the government was unsuccessful in keeping secret. Today Judge Shea issued this brief minute order: Law enforcements warrantless and constant covert video surveillance of Defendants rural front yard is contrary to the publics reasonable expectation of privacy and violates Defendants Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable search. The video evidence and fruit of the video evidence are suppressed. Looking at these two sentences makes clear the court was convinced with our argumentsthat the invasiveness of constant video surveillance pointed continuously at one of the most sensitive and private placesthe front of a persons hometriggers constitutional protection. Relying on cases decidedalmost 30 years ago, the government argued that its unreasonable for people to expect privacy in an area visible to the public. But as we explained in our amicus brief, no one expects their house to be placed under invasive 24/7 video surveillance for a month. And as the U.S. Supreme Court recently reaffirmed inRiley v. California, the ability for technology to reveal a broad array of private information means courts must be particularly vigilant in protecting constitutional rights in the 21st Century. Hanni Fakhoury writes for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, where this first appeared.

Recently, she took to Twitter to criticize American traitors who forced Trump to cancel his Chicago rally on Friday. Coulter challenged Fox News, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio for seemingly backing the animals who protested the rally, rather than their fellow running mate.

1	In what promises to be the biggest neighborhood event since July's golf-ball dismantling, Andy Mefford, 9, announced plans Monday to exhume Marshall, his sister's deceased pet gerbil. The soon-to-be-disturbed burial site. 'Guys,' said Mefford, addressing fellow fourth-graders from the jungle gym during recess, 'this Saturday morning, right after Batman Beyond, I'm gonna dig up Marshall to see what he looks like now.' Marshall, who died June 24 of complications from an eye infection, was laid to rest the following day beneath the large oak tree in the Meffords' backyard. The gerbil was entombed in a styrofoam hamburger container, along with a daisy and a poem written by its devoted owner, 7-year-old Kimberly Mefford. Mefford's decision to exhume the rodent, made partly in response to a recent Learning Channel Secrets Of The Pyramids documentary, has sparked excitement among children throughout the Reardon Street area. 'That's gonna be so cool,' said classmate Danny Stossel. 'I bet it's all gross, with worms crawling out of his eyes and stuff.' 'My brother once dug up a parakeet after it was buried for, like, three weeks, and it was all black and hard,' next-door neighbor Douglas Beane, 10, said. 'This'll probably be even better.' Added Beane: 'I wonder if the tail will still be there.' Despite such enthusiasm, not all neighborhood children support the gerbil exhumation. 'You can't dig somebody up after you bury them,' said Amy Coryell, 7, who will not attend the dig. 'That disturbs their spirit, and then you can get haunted by the dead ghost, I bet.' Mefford (center) and some of the children who plan to attend Saturday's gerbil exhumation. Speculation regarding the contents of the Marshall gravesite is running high, with guesses ranging from a gerbil skeleton to a gerbil zombie. The latter theory was posited by Bradley Dorner, 9, who has been fixated by death and zombification since an Sept. 15 viewing of Return Of The Living Dead on cable TV while his parents were out at a play. 'Seriously, there are these zombies, and they're dead bodies, and they come back to life and try to eat your brains,' a visibly agitated Dorner told Mefford upon learning of the plan. 'Including animals. I saw it.' Unbowed by the prospect of attacks by the undead, Mefford reiterated his intention to open the styrofoam crypt. As a concession to those concerned about zombies, however, basic precautions against the undead will be taken, including the presence of garlic, a cross, and a Bible. In addition, a large shovel will be kept nearby for the purpose of hitting Marshall if he moves posthumously in any way. As an added measure, all children who plan to attend the ceremony have been sworn to strict secrecy by Mefford. 'My mom is gonna take my sister to dance lessons at 11, and my dad never gets up before noon on Saturdays, so we have to do it between 11 and 12,' Mefford told his jungle-gym audience. 'But nobody tell anybody, or we'll get busted, okay?' Mefford warned potential security threats that compromising the secrecy of the event by tipping off neighborhood adults or engaging in any other form of 'telling' would result in their being barred from all future Mefford-sponsored events, including street-hockey games and secret-fort meetings. In addition, tattle-tales would be subject to revocation of treehouse-hideout privileges for one year. 
3	U.S. Agrees To Act As Terrorist Bodyguard; Open To Attacking Assad ForcesBy Brandon Turbeville The policy, reportedly authorized by Barack Obama, would involve the US Air Force bombing any force attacking the so-called moderate rebel fighters,including the Syrian military. The announcement was first reported on Sunday by the Wall Street Journal via anonymous military sources. The senior military official told the WSJ For offensive operations, its ISIS only. But if attacked, well defend them against anyone whos attacking them. Were not looking to engage the regime, but weve made a commitment to help defend these people. White House National Security Council spokesman, Alistair Baskey, stated We wont get into the specifics of our rules of engagement, but have said all along that we would take the steps necessary to ensure that these forces could successfully carry out their mission. Pentagon spokeswoman Commander Elissa Smith, added to the statement by saying We recognize, though, that many of these groups now fight on multiple fronts, including against the Assad regime, (Islamic State) and other terrorists. The military official quoted by the WSJ as well as Commander Smiths statements address the main area of concern in regards to the new US policy. Since the moderate rebels who, in reality, are not moderate at all, are locked in combat with the Syrian government forces, the door has officially been opened wider to a direct military confrontation between the United States and Syrian militaries under the guise of protecting moderates. Already, the United States has allowed jihadists to call in airstrikes, with one such example occurring on Friday July 31. Of course, it should be pointed out that there is no such thing as a moderate rebel fighting inside Syria nor has there ever been such a fighting force operating there. The entirety of the opposition is made up of terrorists, jihadists, and mercenaries, all funded, supported, trained, and armed by NATO and the GCC. With that in mind, any confrontation that takes place would find the United States in a flagrant act of direct aggression against a sovereign country, even greater than those acts already perpetrated by the U.S. in Syria. This new policy is yet even more evidence that the US and NATO goal is to destroy the secular government of Bashar al-Assad as well as the entire nation of Syria. While this has been the goal of the U.S. since the beginning of the Syrian crisis, recent weeks have seen a steady increase in provocations and policies designed to bait a Syrian response and create a situation in which U.S. bombing and direct military assaults on the Syrian government could be presented as somehow justified. It is only a matter of time before Assads steadfast repulsion of ISIS and al-Qaeda fighters is used as a justification for American airstrikes on the Syrian government. Unfortunately, all signs are pointing to the possibility that Syria is about to enter the second phase of destabilization, a phase that Libya knows all too well. Recently from Brandon Turbeville: Image source: Anthony Freda Art Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina. He has a Bachelors Degree from Francis Marion University and is the author of six books, Codex Alimentarius The End of Health Freedom, 7 Real Conspiracies,Five Sense Solutionsand Dispatches From a Dissident, volume 1 and volume 2, and The Road to Damascus: The Anglo-American Assault on Syria.Turbeville has published over 500 articles dealing on a wide variety of subjects including health, economics, government corruption, and civil liberties. Brandon Turbevilles podcast Truth on The Tracks can be found every Monday night 9 pm EST at UCYTV. He is available for radio and TV interviews. Please contact activistpost (at) gmail.com. The Syrian Moderate Rebels are ISIS or USISIS, which shows you the US air strikes in Syria have always been about Syrian infrastructure, removing Assad and not the USISIS. How can you defend someone you are supposedly attacking. The foreign policy of Washington is very skewed. If Assad was removed from power, the USISIS would disappear into the desert after more phony bombing by the US. Isnt it just cutsey that the US agenda and ISIS always seems to snuggle up together. All the Christian Beheading was an act of love that all christians are grateful for. Beheadings were fake Evidence of this please, if you wouldnt mind. http://atimes.com/2015/08/why-iran-is-obsessed-with-jews-hint-same-as-hitler/ This is the home of a reporter whom is a motherf. scam and a Ziotrud earant boy. peace I dont see what this has to do with Pepe Escobar. Guilt by association when their not even associates, just published at the same place. I really dont know much about AT, I only read Pepe there but I really dont see how this diminishes HIS writing. I will say just reading the first few lines and skimming the rest its a piece of shit piece of zio bs, youre not wrong there. But hey, dont throw the baby out with the bathwater. Where, by any internationally recognised laws, is this in any way legal? Someone needs to stop these vampires! This is nothing but an act of war on a sovereign nation, and all the prominent Western-aligned countries turn a blind eye. The machinations leading to this point have been in plain view since the rise of the contrived entity called ISIL. This needs to be exposed for what it is. Nothing here justifies the US the right to act unilaterally? Thats just the thing. We have so many clear infractions by this so called government we should have locked them all up years ago, and have all the justification to do so, but who is going to stick their neck out. Our apathy and cowardice has created a monster that will see us as a threat no matter what we do. We are creating our own hell and the kicker is when they turn on the average american for absolutely nothing it will destroy the very resource these idiots need to survive. In essence, the parasites will kill the host it depends on. And the American sheeple went BAAAAAAAA. So,if I read the article correctly, the US has declared war on Syria? Effectively so. Yet one more example of United States/Rottenchild private corporation assault upon people of the world. Our criminal government is destroying everything our Founding Fathers fought against. All wars are bankers wars and regime change is the name of the game and they wont be happy until they have taken away another countrys sovereignty and destroyed them with the Central Banks. Does Libya ring a bell? USAQAF. And of course theyre not going to get into operational details or however they put it or theyd be admitting what we all know is the worst kept secret in the world among people who know anything about anything, which unfortunately doesnt include anywhere near enough Americans. More proof of their true aims, as if we needed it, but certainly a bad omen for Syria. And the Kurds. And humanity while Im at it. In Syria I served there not many years ago in a military capacity as a monitor and UN enforcer for border incidents between Syria and Israel. The Syrian Free Army is not the organization the US led coalition and media would have you believe. To bomb Assad and his troops is to give carte blanche to the so called moderates who when this is all over will carry out a slaughter that is going to make ISIS, Hitler, Mao and Stalin look like a group of choir boys. The FSA is as evil as they come and are only our friends right now because cash, bullets and weapons flow cut them off and they will turn on us. Before anyone jumps on me I am not a complete Assad supporter however, he did not want the job he has today he was an ophthalmologist in the UK when his father died his brother took over Assad returned and started many new reforms in the country which POd the hard liners. They did not approve of women being allowed to walk the streets in Damascus unattended and uncovered. They did not approve of Assad allowing the Christians to live unmolested. Assad created an oil industry and a tourist industry. And much more. Assad provided electricity to all, education to all including females medical and dental to all no one was hungry. There is much more. However when the trouble started in Daraa it did not start because he was a harsh task master which in fact he was he kept the Muhabarat (Syrian equivalent of the Soviet KGB) to keep any trouble makers in line. It started because the religious leaders did not like Assads liberal ways. If anything the west should be supporting Assad not assisting in and planning his down fall When Assad was accused of using Sarin gas in Damascus by the media the weapons inspection team that the UN sent to investigate this criminal use of a weapon of mass destruction in the city of Damascus was led by Norwegian Major General Mood. The team found Assad had not used those weapons and in fact determined it was the FSA that had used the poison gas on the residents of Damascus all of which was quickly and quietly buried by the media as it did not play well in the face of the developing American plan to discredit Assad. People need to do their due diligence and realize that to bomb Assad is to broaden this war and to open up new fronts those fronts will indeed cause far more death and destruction and when the FSA is given the keys to Syria the slaughter will be of biblical proportions. And the caliphate will have been formed. Thanks to the man in the White House today and his complicit military leaders all as obama had planned from day one. A pretty good analysis of what awaits Assads overthrow, and it is coming unfortunately. His Zionist enemies are evil and relentless. But why is Hitler included alongside of the worst butchers of all time, Mao and Stalin? The writer should know by now that virtually everything we have been taught, and everything thrown at us by the controlled media about National Socialist Germany is an outright lie. And that includes the biggest campfire story of the 20th century, the hoax of the six million. I know Steve the world is a crazy place and truth is not a valued commodity any more. And it was more than six million that was just the Jews there were many others as well and I suspect you already know that. But then again I am just an old military guy that has unfortunately seen the worst in many parts of the world and the media does not care about what I have seen and what I say. Why? I am not rich, famous, beautiful or educated so I am easily dismissed. However the truth will always be the truth and there are at least a few out there that still understand that. it was about 170,000 jews. Died from Typhus and starvation. Not from gas chambers. Gas chambers are among the many Khazars lies. Actually I have pics and family history that would say the opposite in fact having stood there with folks who survived perhaps I was wrong about Steve and now you. Have you actually been there? I have. So have many of my family and I am not a Jew but they were in the camps as well this will drive us off topic and I will not continue after this suffice to say the people I am related to were German they went to the camps and many did not survive. They admit to my family that the Jews went to the ovens that first person story will never make me believe you if you are marginalizing the things that the Germans did to the Jews. Lets not deflect, deny and change the topic here it is about Syria and Assad if you want to change it start a new thread we can argue there. I am out of this particular discussion although I am certain you will have a come back it is always the way. You would have to be 96 + years to remember this in person. Your a troll or paid agent Brush up on your math if you want to sell yourself as credible This took place in 1977 the survivors told me personally as I stood there your comprehension is suffering read my comment again and try to absorb it slowly call me all you want I am straight up and as I predicted you and your ilk showed your true colors actually I believe you might be the same person using multiple accounts bye bye This puppet Obamao did not plan anything. This was planned long before Obamao was even on the scene. Exactly. Thank you for bringing that FACT to the attention of the readers. They are nothing but figure heads giving the illusion we have a legitimate working government helping do their part on stage in the kabuki theater The real power is the banking cabal and their mafia brothers that you never see. The masks are beginning to slip though and many are becoming aware of the facade. Beware of their next ploy of good cop bad cop with china and russia being the saviors. All part of the plan. I borrowed this pic Anyone think the FSA will do this after the US helps them win? http://www.rt.com/files/news/23/58/e0/00/23.jpg I can only hope the mods allow this one I borrowed this pic it would pay for the reader to put the url together and take a look Anyone think the FSA will do this after the US helps them win? h t t p : // w w w . rt . com/files/news/23/58/e0/00/23 . jpg I can only hope the mods allow this one A no flight zone was the method used by NATO forces to These war crimes were carried out under the banner of the War Someday soon, when there is a real investigation of the 9/11 I wouldnt hold my breath on someday soon, but soon is relative. Maybe one day, many, many years from now after the U.S. empire has collapsed. Its the only way they can pay off their debt to the banking cabal. Watch how the first thing they do when they overthrow Assad is to create a london based central bank. On Friday, Al Nusra (the former Al Qaeda in Iraq) Captured the US trained Moderates, Al Nusra is supposed to be US backed and in the fight against ISIS, but they dont want the new boys on their turf. http://wakeupfromyourslumber.com/washington-stunned-by-attack-on-us-mercenaries-in-syria/ Who can you trust these days? You give Al Nusra millions and weapons and everything, forgive them all their past murders, and still they dont play nice. They intended to attack and overthrow Assad all along. And this is a pretty deceitful way of doing it. The ISIS Black Op has worked for the CIA (whoever runs the CIA and American foreign policy) regardless of the obvious underhanded propaganda strategy. Its a chickenshit way to run things though. Exactly right, but the last time they threatened hard putin stepped in and stopped them. Where is he now???? Hes getting his script just like all the rest, and Im sure its different this time around. Have to do the bidding of the bankers you know. 
2	Muslims Want Business Shut Down Due To Foul Odor From Bacon [VIDEO] Recently, Beverley Akciecek was asked to remove an extractor fan from her restaurant. The fan was meant to improve air circulation in the restaurant. Unfortunately, it is also allowing the smell of bacon to waft into the streetsand a group of local Muslims have been complaining. According to reports, Akcieceks neighbors claimed to be feeling physically sick due to the foul odor coming from her business. City planners agreed with complaints, ruling that odors given off from the vent were unacceptable for neighboring residents. Clearly, the decision to remove the fan from Beverleys Snack Shack is being viewed as an attack on business owners. Akciecek has been running her fan for years without any complaints. What do you think? Should Beverley be allowed to run her businesses as she pleases?

2	Hillary Rodham Clinton Finally Rises From Darkness To Reveal Massive Announcement According to Gov. Terry McAuliffe, one of the Clintons closest friends, Bill and Hillary are ready to leave Washington behind them. That means Hillary Clinton could officially be done with politics. Finally. Speaking to WTOPs Ask the Governor program, McAuliffe commented: I dont think Hillary has any interest in running gain. Ill let her speak for herself. But he didnt stop there. I think the presidents probably going to go back, working on all the good deeds hes done before in helping people around the globe, he continued. You know, there are elections. Weve got to move forward. As governor of Virginia, Ive got to move forward. McAuliffe also called the defeat hard and very tough for the Clintons. I mean, this is hard on anybody, he argued. I mean, can you imagine having to go through this? Ive had many conversations with the Clinton family. Were friends. Its hard, very tough. I think on Election Day everybody felt pretty good. I think the Trump campaign though they were gonna lose. McAuliffe did express a willingness to work with President-elect Donald Trump, even though he clearly supported Clinton. I have known Donald Trump for 20 years, had dinner with him, golfed with him, McAuliffe said, noting that Trump wrote him a $25,000 check when he was running for governor. I look forward to a productive relationship. What do you think? Is it over for Hillary Clinton? Is it time for her supporters to just move on? 
1	WASHINGTON, DCCiting Dick Cheney's pre-existing health conditions and his refusal to meet regularly with his primary care physician, the White House's health-insurance provider terminated the vice president's coverage Monday. Vice President Dick Cheney. AmeriHealth, the parent company of the HMO serving the executive branch, issued a 'termination of benefits' notice to Cheney Aug. 3. The form letter, addressed to 'Member #782B-11107-3905C (Cheney, Richard Bruce),' informed the vice president that his health coverage would cease, 'effective immediately.' Speaking to reporters Monday, Cheney expressed dismay over being dropped from the HMO. 'I am a victim of a bureaucracy,' Cheney said. 'This action on the part of AmeriHealth is exceedingly unfair.' In the form letter, AmeriHealth customer-service manager Bob Kielas apologized for any inconvenience caused by the adjustment, and encouraged the vice president to contact an AmeriHealth customer-service representative to make arrangements for his final payments. Cheney said he was on hold for 'almost half an hour' during a phone call he made to AmeriHealth shortly after receiving the notice. 'This is a contemptible way to treat a customer,' he said. 'It's complete bullshit, to speak frankly.' Cheney said he was 'reasonably certain' that his premiums were still being automatically deducted biweekly from his pay. 'I'm supposed to be covered,' the vice president said. 'This is a nightmare.' [pagebreak] Those close to Cheney report that the vice president has long complained about having to see doctors within the HMO network, rather than choosing his own specialist. In 2003, Cheney wrote a letter of complaint when, instead of being admitted to the Bethesda Naval Hospital for treatment of his angina, he was directed to an HMO-approved urgent-care clinic in Clarendon, VA. According to the vice president, he sat in a crowded lobby between a mother with a colicky baby and a drunken Georgetown student with a broken nose for several hours, and both were examined before him. The vice president waits to see his primary-care physician at a Washington-area clinic. Last February, Cheney received a bill for $2,000 for a coronary procedure that was only partially covered by his HMO. In a call that was recorded for quality-assurance purposes, Cheney argued for nearly 20 minutes with an associate customer-service representative identified only as 'Heather.' Cheney grew progressively more belligerent on the phone, until Heather said, 'Sir, if you continue to use that type of language, I will have to end this call.' White House sources say that, while Cheney received his letter early this month, he was unaware of the cancellation on Aug. 23, when he visited the hospital following a possible heart attack and was told that he was 'not in the computer.' Although the vice president was admitted to the hospital and learned that he had only been suffering acid reflux, he received a bill Monday for $1,500. 'This is a complete and total outrage,' Cheney said. 'AmeriHealth cannot possibly expect me to pay that kind of money out of pocket.' Cheney said he is unsure what action he will take if his HMO membership is not reinstated. 'I'm still too young for Medicare, and I'll simply run into the same pre-existing-condition clause if I purchase a health-insurance policy on my own,' Cheney said. 'Sometimes I just feel hopeless. There are very few health-care options available to someone like me.' 
1	After spotting Chilean Ambassador to the U.S. Natalia Verdugo at a D.C.-area caf Tuesday, a smitten President Bush promptly invited the bewitching diplomat to his artist's garret in the East Wing of the White House. 'I must paint you,' Bush reportedly told Verdugo. 'I simply must commit your beauty to the canvas immediately. Please, come away with me to my studio, where the early-evening light from my western window shall caress your undraped form.' Though she eventually agreed to pose for the president, Verdugo drew the line at 'an afternoon of fiery passion' among his charcoal sketches. 
1	In testimony before a special panel on domestic safety Tuesday, officials at the Central Intelligence Agency revealed that the U.S. may have anywhere between one and three unidentified secret admirers currently longing for the country. 'We face a new and disturbing reality: There are people out there who love us, and they're coming after us,' said a blushing John Michael McConnell, director of national intelligence. 'We currently have no leads as to who exactly has targeted the U.S. for its affections, but we can be certain our admirer's feelings are real and not going away anytime soon. I strongly urge all Americans to be incredibly flattered but cautious.' According to McConnell, the CIA received credible heart-shaped intelligence taped to the door of the agency's headquarters in early September, alerting them to an unspecified number of nations that might be harboring fondness for the United States. After being held to the chests of high-ranking CIA officials for a classified length of time, the note was subjected to a battery of forensic tests, as were the chocolates and single red rose that accompanied it. After six days of examination, however, analysts were unable to find a name on the card's pink, glittered surface. A CIA-generated map highlights potential hot spots of romantic activity from around the globe. President Bush was reportedly informed of the situation in excited whispers. 'I assure you, the full resources of your government are being utilized to track down any and all persons who may have special feelings for our great nation,' McConnell said. 'If this information were to fall into the wrong hands, it would be absolutely humiliating.' Intelligence officers were able to narrow the original field of 190 suspects to a more manageable 47, including Egypt, the European Union, and Antoine Martin, a 36-year-old tennis instructor from Monte Carlo. The agency also stepped up surveillance on Mexico and Canada, the two countries the CIA considers closest to the United States. 'We've always had a certain, well, tension with Russia, so we asked our most trusted field operatives to ask their most trusted field operatives if they maybe liked America, but so far the country has proven both uncooperative and bashful,' said one unnamed CIA source, who confirmed that all intelligence-gathering operations in the Scandinavian countries were terminated after it was determined they were 'out of [the U.S.'s] league.' 'Then Spain told us they had information as to who the admirer is, but unfortunately they have been sworn to secrecy.' The unnamed source added, 'With our luck, it's probably Kyrgyzstan.' At an emergency sleepover session of Congress, lawmakers passed a $750 million appropriations bill to strengthen law enforcement presence at all major U.S. ports. The measure would dispatch more than 15,000 police officers to the nation's borders to inspect any boats transporting large quantities of perfume or jewelry, as well as any barges carrying suspiciously heartfelt poetry. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi personally pledged her support in finding the secret admirers, offering to make multiple diplomatic visits to Japan to assess the country's possible involvement and potential interest in the upcoming Modest Mouse show. 'Until we have more information about who we are dealing with and whether or not they are gross, all precautions must be taken to prevent a harmless crush from escalating into full-scale infatuation,' Pelosi said, clutching a brief compiled by aides on which she had drawn a heart around the words 'Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda.' Although sources at the agency report none of the top secret, encrypted messages passed to visiting dignitaries have been returned with 'yes' boxes checked, they remain hopeful they will be able to root out all smitten parties and avoid any potentially awkward moments at the United Nations. 'I've said it all along: It's Africa,' McConnell said. 'They're always asking us for aid and inviting us to world health summits. I think it's pretty clear that they've been wanting to get our attention for some time.' 
3	The Militarization of Police in America: Active Shooter Training Now Massively FederalizedJames F. Tracy Aggressively publicized by a submissive corporate news media, the continuum of such incidents over weeks, months and years is an essential socialization process for the publics unquestioning acceptance of the growing police state. An under-examined facet of this broader trend is how active shooter drills have become massively federalized in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. Alongside the militarization of police under the Pentagons 1033 Program, which provides high-powered weaponry and armored vehicles to state and local law enforcement agencies, officers are receiving military-style training funded and supervised by the US DOJ and government subcontractors. Since 2002 active shooter training has been conducted by a project called ALERRTAdvanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Traininghoused at Texas State University in San Marcos. Over 60,000 police have been instructed by ALERRT-trained personnel, and over the past 12 years the entity has received over $30 million of funding from the DOJs Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Violence Against Law Enforcement and Ensuring Officer Resilience and Survivability program VALOR), Texas Office of the Governor, and the Department of Homeland Security.[1] The money for such training is merely a small portion of almost $290 million in DOJ munificence distributed to 56 states and territories, and over 1,000 local jurisdictions in 2014 alone. These resources are helping to spur innovation and drive evidence-based policing in countless communities, Attorney General Eric Holder recently remarked.[2] In March 2013 the FBI sent 100 of its agents to receive instructor training at ALERRTs Texas State headquarters. In June of that year Vice President Joe Biden recognized ALERRT as a primary source for national law enforcement training and response to active shooter events.[3] Within weeks of Bidens announcement FBI personnel fanned out across the US to conduct ALERRT-approved training to local law enforcement officers. In August 2013 drills were taking place in seemingly every police jurisdiction throughout the US. Since these exercises are designed to be as realistic as possible, students, school personnel, and the broader public may be unsuspectingly caught up in the contrived terror, unable to distinguish whether the actors alongside the accompanying gunfire and explosions are real or fake. This essential interpretive element is left up to the relevant local, state, and federal agencies to explain, or spin, to the media. Inevitably the implications of federal sponsorship and/or supervision in such maneuvers goes unexamined.[4] Since the 1960s a wealth of compelling research has established that federal law enforcement involvement in violent and controversial events such as assassinations frequently undermines the integrity of serious law enforcement work conducted by those familiar with the given community. As the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing, 9/11, and the more recent Boston Marathon bombing event all but confirm, federal response to such mass casualty events is now a carefully-honed procedure. Add to this the allure of federal cash and the broader parameters of mass shooting events reported almost daily become even more uncertain. Equally concerning is the fact that up until the mid-2000s the location and date of active shooter drills were a matter of public record, being noted in a freely-accessible federal registry.[5] Now with mass shooter training almost entirely outsourced to ALERRT, such statistics no longer exist. This lack of accountability gives federal agencies free reign in terms of how such events might be used. Its not capabilityits capacity, one FBI official involved in ALERRT training told the Associated Press. Every police department, sheriffs department has the ability to do interviews and to do evidence collection But we can bring capacity. We can bring 100 agents to a scene in a day and do hundreds of interviews, and have done that time and time again.[6] With the exception of this in-depth Associated Press article, corporate news media dont consider the massive federalization of active shooter drills an item worthy of close attention. A LexisNexis search of print news for the terms ALERRT and Department of Justice or Federal Bureau of Investigation between March 1, 2013 and December 22, 2014 yields just a handful of items, most of which are US government press releases. This crucial omission in reportage serves as an oblique form of propaganda, giving the impression that every mass shooting incident is genuine, when in fact some may be the outgrowth of a drill combined with federal law enforcement and/or intelligence sleight of hand. A seemingly endless stream of federal aid and oversight makes local, regional and state law enforcement highly dependent on the DOJan entity capable of deceptive and lethal maneuvers such as Fast and Furiouswhich is now increasingly looked to for such handouts. In this manner, local and regional law enforcement are potentially compromised toward acquiescing to federally-coordinated active shooter training drills which are then presented via news media as genuine eventsa situation that apparently unfolded in Newtown Connecticut, and perhaps in numerous other locales. Without honest policing and competent, impartial journalism the public has no way of discerning reality from what amounts to military training and the manipulable artifice inherent in such exercises.

This article first appeared at MemoryHoleBlog.com, the official blog of Dr. James Tracy. 28 C.F.R. Section 0.85 Terrorism is defined as the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives. Justice Robert H. Jackson (Chief of Counsel for the United States, Nuremberg Trials Nazi Germany): It is not the function of the government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error. And his quote from his Opening Statement, Nuremberg Trails: Uncontrolled All of you Law Enforcement that keep just following orders and/or just doing your jobs are being used to destroy our nation from within. You took a required Oath to Support and Defend the US Constitution before anything else, orders of your superiors, the duties of the position you occupy, etc. Breaking that Oath makes you a felon, plus you commit the crime of perjury. Just following orders and/or just doing your jobs are not a viable defense in the USA, that was shown to be true at the Nuremberg trials, and since America started. Many throughout Americas history have been prosecuted for crimes when they just followed orders and/or just did their job and they were found guilty because IF they had not followed those orders or did those jobs those treasonous and many times murderous actions could NOT HAVE OCCURRED. YOU are being used to destroy our nation, our way of life, your own life. Mack and Printz v. United States: The Framers rejected the concept of a central government that would act upon and through the States, and instead designed a system in which the State and Federal Governments would exercise concurrent authority over the people. By the way, Just following orders and/or just doing your jobs when it breaks the Oath that IS the only lawful authority you have, injures/kills someone or their property qualifies as terrorism against the American people, against the USA. It also qualifies as treason. Think of what you are doing, and let the decision to be a terrorist and traitor to the United States and her people be YOUR decision, and not happen because you were just following orders and/or just doing your jobs. it does carry the death penalty, so make sure it is YOUR decision to do those things, because it will be YOU who will pay the price sooner or later. I am so glad that the police do not carry any weapons in the country where I live. If James Tracey can slide past a mention of Sandy Hook Elementary School without also acknowledging that no thinking, informed person believes that event to be anything but a hoax to further anti-gun police state programs (like active-shooter drills!) the rest of the piece is probably not worth reading. 
3	Last Minute Change in Security at Inauguration Reminiscent of JFK in Dealey PlazaBy Aaron Dykes The termination is unprecedented and out of decorum with such a high state function taking place, raising serious concerns about the vulnerabilities and gaps in security on such an important day. Not saying that anything is going to happen, but its hard not to notice and raise questions when the scenario is being made plausible. Aaron Melissa Dykes are the founders ofTruthstreamMedia.com, Subscribe to them on YouTube, Like onFacebook, Follow onTwitter. Watch their mini-documentary Obsolete here. Nothing will happen because of the nazis in Antarctica. The idea might not be as far out as your intent . Tho sounding humorous to many, my intent is seasoned with observation of facts, starting with Operation High Jump in the `40`s, to why was SOS Kerry there on election day in Nov.. and the work of David Wilcock. It was reported on: https: //geopolitics.co/2017/01/14/dc-national-guard-chief-fired-on-trump-inauguration-day-heres-why/ I am relieved to hear theres someone taking over at 12:01. I had watched for info, but hadnt heard it. Thank you for posting. True or false: People generally retire at the end of their last day of the job, not at lunchtime. peoplethis is not just some blue color worker. this is a political appointee. Whats more, its been published on several sources the timing was his choice. ..Sources say that with Schwartz successor already named, the General declined to extend his command those extra days, instead stepping down at 12:01 p.m. exactly on January 20th. True. However there is a very strange coincidence as the general has the same surname as Trumps most ardent enemy. Schwartz, the name George Soros was born with in Hungary is GIORGY SCHWARTZ now Alias George Soros, funder of the Boston marathon bombing as the head of the CIA Mr Brennan (ISLAMIC convert) MOSLEM has known for 8 weeks or more Except this is being done by Trump, NOT by Obama. Maybe hes playing for the wrong team. Trump is not the commander-in-chief, you mushbrain. Obama is. No person who serves as the US President is the Commander in Chief UNTIL the Congress declares war. Dont you know your US Constitution (and hopefully your own states Constitution)? US Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Clause 11, the Congress shall have the power: To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water. (grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal is using the people, in their own vehicles, with their own weapons of all types against the enemy.) With those delegated powers being assigned to the Congress, it is therefor a power FORBIDDEN to any other who serves within the legislative branch, to any other branch, to any other office within a branch. Article 2, Section 2, Clause 1: The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, WHEN CALLED INTO THE ACTUAL SERVICE OF THE UNITED STATES; Not at all times, and please notice that it is a comma there, indicating continuation of the subject being listed, NOT a semicolon, which is found at the end after the word States indicating a change in subject, direction, etc.We have not been in a lawful, declared war in decades, maybe WW2. But without wars, then the military brass, corporate suppliers, and banks would lose money, prestige, etc. Yet, the legislative branch is required to NOT fund any military excursions after two (2) years unless we are in a lawfully declared war. US Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Clause12 the Congress shall have the power: To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years. Since the congress is ONLY allowed to fund wars when they are lawfully declared, and, unless declared, cannot fund them beyond two (2) years this is a crime called misappropriation of funds. This makes those involved when they allowed this to go on from the first unlawful funding of unlawful wars and still living, and those who came after them who did NOT remove or try to remove the funding of unlawful wars personally responsible for their actions or non actions, that everything they own, have can be taken and sold to regain the money. That is, IF we hold them accountable. the generals decision to leave at 12:01pm in the middle of the inaugration was his own. kind of like if custer decided to leave right before the indian attack. He is being forced out BEFORE the oath of office is finished. On Friday the Washington Post reported that Maj, Gen. Errol Schwartz will be removed from his post as head of the DC National Guard DURING the Trump Inauguration. Schwartz told the Post he would never plan to leave a mission in the middle of a battle. Regardless of the reason, it is probably not a good move! It was HIS choice not to finish out the day. His alone, for whatever reason. I agree it sounds fishy but seeing what this liar did the past few days I say good riddance. Hes just pissed the Trump Admin. excepted his resignation went crying to the press that he was fired. Boo fuking hoo. Time for the big boys to take charge. You are wrong or lying: http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/01/fake-news-wapo-not-tell-whole-story-dc-national-guard-chiefs-resignation-video/ On Friday the Washington Post reported that Maj, Gen. Errol Schwartz will be removed from his post as head of the DC National Guard DURING the Trump Inauguration. Schwartz told the Post he would never plan to leave a mission in the middle of a battle. I dont expect an answer. You are aware of your falsehood. Seriouslygateway Pundit is your source? This story has about 6 different versions depending on which website you visit. Apparently the general submitted his resignation and it was accepted by Trump, he didnt fire him and Obama had nothing to do with it. Hes outta there. I cant believe Americans still believe anything Obama says or does. He is a self confessed US flag burner, the general leaving has the same name a Gyorgy Schwartz Alias George Soros. The CIA has haed evidence of George Soros funding and directing the Boston Marathon Bombing. However the head of the CIA is also a MOSLEM if you look very carefully at the weapons being used by ISIS they are mainly US made military weapons. This is no coincidence. The heads of all Obama appointed strategic US agencies are Muslims. His hatred of Russia is because on his first visit to the Russia federation no one would shake his right hand. There is a believe that Arab Muslims use their right hands to remove fecal waste from their rectal fecal and gas extrusion exhaust port. I have a video of it https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6744e904703cc144b24d49abb4f26d573a2616cbc528b949a0b4cf76faf5767f.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3d0e88f13d01566d04a5b535b9df1704ad2f9e00b60750650b3c5ec9c9909ca7.jpg True many Obama appointees have Muslim sympathies or are Muslim, including John Brennan. Loretta Lynch recently said, dont you dare insult Islam, (in effect). John Kerrys daughter married an Iranian, and helped work for the disastrous Iran nuclear deal. Obama has reportedly met many times behind closed doors with Muslim Brotherhood operatives. We have read of accidental weapons drops to ISIS in Syriathe takedown of Syria was supported by Arabia, Qatar,and the USA, to moderates who are Al-Quaida, or mercenaries who will fight for whoever pays them the most (ISIS?) according to Putin..connect the Islamist dots, the influx of only Muslims by Obama. Its the left hand, not the right. You use the right for eating and the left for cleaning. I beg to differ, I have many recent videos of musiem insurgents in Rome, Paris, and Barcelona of.these insurgents wiping their arses after deficating in fountains, swimming pools, and bus shelters all using just their right hand. Maybe they were unaware of your ruling?? exactly https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4ab55e8c9fa7c05db7fdee3f4038ce3c1cbed592932a455f149abe8a581b9224.jpg SHEEP an OLD photo Whatever is behind this, this is definitely a dangerous situation. The CIA and their globalist/banker overlords are not happy. The Bush crime family (Jeb in this case) has threatened Donald publicly (Trump will NOT be president). I would be very happy if the Donald left the crowds outside and took the oath somewhere in safety. Screw the protesters. exactly What decorum do you expect from Obama? If I were President Trump (thank you, God), Id want that burrhead general gone long befo this inauguration. I wouldnt want him in-charge of concessions (drinks, popcorn). My guess is Trump has his peeps already in place for this, I hope. Weez come too far gettin rid of Queen C***, and Black Hitler to entrust the savior of America in the care of Obungholes butt boy. If Tramp, sorry Trump, is whacked, the sheeple will put this person on a high, higher that their god. Trump will become the new god. dump did that not obumber I did NOT vote, so perhaps Ive no right to care, but I do. Trump has been elected, and I hope and pray that with his billions, and his intelligence, he can stay alive. The fact that he is NOT a political puppet is a huge threat to our false government..cheers Could it be that stashed arms and ammunition were found along the CO canal in Washington, DC? 
3	GMO Golden Rice Tested on Kids Without Parental ConsentBeta-carotene enhanced GM rice, the golden child of biotech, is now hampered by a fudged study under ethics scrutiny. A GMO study conducted in China, but funded by the USDA, tested unapproved Golden Rice on children without authorization, creating serious violations of ethics rules. Tufts University researchers admitted that their lead scientist, Guangwen Tang, had broken the rules of disclosure in tests on human subjects, but maintain that their August 2012 study titled -Carotene in Golden Rice is as good as -carotene in oil at providing vitamin A to childrenremains valid. Greenpeace China blew the whistle on what it called a scandal over a potentially dangerous product. Not properly informing the parents of the children used in the study constitutes a clear and serious ethics violations, the organization indicated. The larger Greenpeace organization has played a long-term role in opposing the approval and use of Golden Rice to fight disease in the developing world. They and other opponents have long argued that tried and true methods of treating Vitamin A deficiency render the biotech solution irrelevant and unnecessary. Nature.com highlighted an investigation conducted by CCTV in China, who aired a special documentary program on the scandal. Emails turned up by reporters showed that a Chinese CDC official hid mention of the fact that the Golden Rice was genetically modified, claiming that it was dropped because it was too sensitive to discuss with the parents of the children being fed GMOs in the study. Many parents have since demanded a guarantee that the rice will not affect their childrens health as well as compensation money for the ethics breach. If its safe, why did they need to deceive us into this? a parent angrily asked Chinas CCTV in their expos. Critics note that discrepancies remain over the full details of the trial. For instance, the CDCs investigation revealed that the children ate Golden Rice just once during the study and not lunch every day during the three-week study as the paper states. How much Golden Rice did the children have exactly? asks Wang Zheng, a policy researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Policy and Management in Beijing. Either the researchers are lying about this now or they lied about it in their paper. Its a serious offence either way. [emphasis added] According to the published study, the GM trait in Golden Rice that produces beta-carotene, a precursor to Vitamin A, was produced using heavy water (a technique derived from Harold Ureys development of enriched uranium during the Manhattan Project) harvested from a hydroponic plant system housed in the USDA-Agriculture Research Service Childrens Nutrition Research Center at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston TX. Along with Tangs research conducted at the Hunan Province Center for Disease Control and Prevention in China was additional research provided by the Carotenoids Health Laboratory, USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston. Golden Rice has been a hot-button issue in genetically-modified politics for decades now. Proponents blame GM opponents for delaying its approval, and outlandishly claiming that they have cost lives, building upon the long-standing claims that Golden Rice could save a million lives per year, prevent blindness (and other related pro-GM puffery). Slate accused anti-GMO activists of lying to get their way, reporting that groups behind the destruction of a trial GM rice field had falsely claimed farmers in the Philippines were behind the sabotage. Biotech watchdogs like GM Watch, on the other hand, have long claimed that the benefits are less than shimmering, and that instead its real significance is in expanding the reach of GM agriculture and companies like Syngenta who push it in the developing world. Since 2001, activist Michael Pollan, Greenpeace and others have shown that the concentration of beta-carotene is not enough to make a life saving or disease preventing difference a problem worsened by the fact thatcooking the rice reduces the Vitamin A content by 50%. GM Watch explained how Golden Rice co-inventor Ingo Potrykus acknowledged back in 2001that Greenpeaces argument concerning the ineffective concentrations of beta-carotene in the rice amounted to a valid concern and notable flaw. I am happy to acknowledge, that Greenpeace is arguing on a rational basis I also acknowledge, that Greenpeace has identified a weak point in the strategy of using Golden Rice for reducing vitamin A-deficiency We will know for sure of course only, when all the standard biosafety assessments have been performed we need far more data, than we have to date. [emphasis added] The current levels of beta-carotene produced by the heavy water Golden Rice would require children to eat between 100-150 grams of rice per day (or about 1/2-3/4 of a cup of cooked rice) in order to achieve 60% of the recommended daily allowance. Even the Rockefeller Foundation, which long funded the development of Golden Rice and, arguably, the entire Gene Revolution that brought genetically modified crops into mainstream use conceded in a letter written by Gordon Conway in January 2001, that we do not consider Golden Rice the solution to Vitamin A deficiency and noting that the public relations uses of Golden Rice have gone too far. Conway writes: The industrys advertisements and the media in general seem to forget that it is a research product that needs considerable further development before it will be available to farmers and consumers. Yet more than a decade after industry proponents tried to knock environmental watchdogs for their critique and delay of Golden Rice, researchers are caught fudging their data and failing to properly inform the parents of the children used in the study that the product was even genetically modified. If the benefits for the world are so profound, why is there so much to hide?

3	Hillary Campaign Operatives Admit to Starting Anti-Trump Riot that Shut Down Chicago RallyBy Joseph Jankowski Project Veritas was able to infiltrate theprivate political consulting companyDemocracy Partners and its contractor the Foval Groupwhich have ties to the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton Campaign. According to Foval Group founder Scott Foval, The campaign (Hillary Clinton campaign) pays the DNC, DNC pays Democracy partners, Democracy Partners pays the Foval group, Foval Group goes and executes the shit on the ground. What Scott Foval means by shit on the ground is the agitation that starts disruptions and places bad press on whichever Trump or Pence event they decided to hit. An operative by the name of Aaron Minter, who goes by the aliasAaron Black, told project Project Veritas that the disruption in Chicago during Trumps rally in March was an operation of Democracy Partners. So the Chicago Protest when they shut all that, that was us. It was more him (Bob Creamer, founder of Democracy Partners) than me, said Aaron Minter, but none of this was suppose to come back to us, because we want it coming from people, we dont want it to come from the party. It is not totally clear why Minter, a full-time employee of Democracy Partners uses an alias, but one can assume that it is to shield his true identity from being tied into the violence he helps stir. According to Project Veritas, Minters job is to direct the spontaneous protests at Trump and Pence rallies. So if we do a protest and if its branded a DNC protest, right away the press is going to say partisan, Minter went on. But if Im in there coordinating with all the groups on the ground and sort of playing field general but they are the ones talking to the cameras, then its actually people. But if we send out press advisories with DNC on them and Clinton campaign doesnt have that same effect. Zulema Rodriguez, who works in the office of the Foval Group, appears on the video to also claim credit for the violent protest that prevented the Chicago Trump rally from taking place. So B and I did the Chicago Trump Event where we shut it down like all the yeah Zulema said before being interrupted. Two police officers were hospitalized due to injuries they sustained during the riot and multiple arrests were made Project Veritas video makes it clear that the disruption coordinated by Democracy Partners and the Foval Group is indeed that coordinated and planned out disruption. We have to be careful because what we dont need is for it to show up on CNN that the DNC paid X peopleto..thats not going to happen, Scott Foval was caught saying on undercover video. According to the founder of Democracy PartnersBob Creamer, his group has a call with the campaign every day to go over the focuses that need to be undertaken. Zulema Rodriguez also admitted to having daily calls with the Clinton Campaign. While the mainstream media has tried to paint Trump supporters as violent and over the top, it turns out that it was actually the other side of the aisle who was being just that.

1	A recent survey conducted by the Elias Sports Bureau shows that 98 percent of all National League base runners agree that Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols is the 'weirdest' and 'most uncomfortable' first baseman to talk to. 'There's nothing more painful than getting a leadoff single when that guy's covering first,' said Houston Astros centerfielder Michael Bourn, noting that Pujols' palms are always noticeably sweaty whenever they shake hands. 'The guy never looks you in the eye, and he never has anything good to talk about. Sometimes it's so uncomfortable when neither of you talk for like eight or nine pitches that even though you know you're gonna get caught, you just go for the steal to get the hell out of there.' The same survey implicates that the Chicago Cubs have given up the fewest doubles in the league, which may be due to the fact that players rarely leave first base in order to spend as much time as possible with Derrek Lee. 
3	Water Vapor Detected on Asteroid-Belt Dwarf Planet CeresNASA Herschel is a European Space Agency (ESA) mission with important NASA contributions. This is the first time water vapor has been unequivocally detected on Ceres or any other object in the asteroid belt and provides proof that Ceres has an icy surface and an atmosphere, said Michael Kppers of ESA in Spain, lead author of a paper in the journal Nature. The results come at the right time for NASAs Dawn mission, which is on its way to Ceres now after spending more than a year orbiting the large asteroid Vesta. Dawn is scheduled to arrive at Ceres in the spring of 2015, where it will take the closest look ever at its surface. For the last century, Ceres was known as the largest asteroid in our solar system. But in 2006, the International Astronomical Union, the governing organization responsible for naming planetary objects, reclassified Ceres as a dwarf planet because of its large size. It is roughly 590 miles (950 kilometers) in diameter. When it first was spotted in 1801, astronomers thought it was a planet orbiting between Mars and Jupiter. Later, other cosmic bodies with similar orbits were found, marking the discovery of our solar systems main belt of asteroids. Scientists believe Ceres contains rock in its interior with a thick mantle of ice that, if melted, would amount to more fresh water than is present on all of Earth. The materials making up Ceres likely date from the first few million years of our solar systems existence and accumulated before the planets formed. Until now, ice had been theorized to exist on Ceres but had not been detected conclusively. It took Herschels far-infrared vision to see, finally, a clear spectral signature of the water vapor. But Herschel did not see water vapor every time it looked. While the telescope spied water vapor four different times, on one occasion there was no signature. Here is what scientists think is happening: when Ceres swings through the part of its orbit that is closer to the sun, a portion of its icy surface becomes warm enough to cause water vapor to escape in plumes at a rate of about 6 kilograms (13 pounds) per second. When Ceres is in the colder part of its orbit, no water escapes. The strength of the signal also varied over hours, weeks and months, because of the water vapor plumes rotating in and out of Herschels views as the object spun on its axis. This enabled the scientists to localize the source of water to two darker spots on the surface of Ceres, previously seen by NASAs Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based telescopes. The dark spots might be more likely to outgas because dark material warms faster than light material. When the Dawn spacecraft arrives at Ceres, it will be able to investigate these features. The results are somewhat unexpected because comets, the icier cousins of asteroids, are known typically to sprout jets and plumes, while objects in the asteroid belt are not. The lines are becoming more and more blurred between comets and asteroids, said Seungwon Lee of JPL, who helped with the water vapor models along with Paul von Allmen, also of JPL. We knew before about main belt asteroids that show comet-like activity, but this is the first detection of water vapor in an asteroid-like object. The research is part of the Measurements of 11 Asteroids and Comets Using Herschel (MACH-11) program, which used Herschel to look at small bodies that have been or will be visited by spacecraft, including the targets of NASAs previous Deep Impact mission and upcoming Origins Spectral Interpretation Resource Identification Security Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-Rex). Laurence O Rourke of the European Space Agency is the principal investigator of the MACH-11 program. Herschel is a European Space Agency mission, with science instruments provided by consortia of European institutes and with important participation by NASA. While the observatory stopped making science observations in April 2013, after running out of liquid coolant, as expected, scientists continue to analyze its data. NASAs Herschel Project Office is based at JPL. JPL contributed mission-enabling technology for two of Herschels three science instruments. The NASA Herschel Science Center, part of the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, supports the U.S. astronomical community. Dawns mission is managed by JPL for NASAs Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorates Discovery Program, managed by NASAs Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Orbital Sciences Corp. in Dulles, Va., designed and built the spacecraft. The German Aerospace Center, the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, the Italian Space Agency and the Italian National Astrophysical Institute are international partners on the mission team. Caltech manages JPL for NASA. More information about Herschel is online at: http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/herschel.

3	Officials Are Never Going to Admit Fukushima Radiation Health RisksMelissa Melton In the RT.com article Officials reject concerns over 500 percent radiation increase on California beach, Dean Peterson, county environmental health director, is quoted as saying, Its not something that we feel is an immediate public health concern and Were not even close to the point of saying that any of this is from Fukushima, in regard to the recent radiation spikes being measured off the coast of California. A) Saying it isnt an immediate public health concern is NOT the same as saying it isnt a health concern, B) who cares about what they feel, I dont feel like I trust that guy based on his Orwellian doublespeak response, and C) they never will be close to saying that any radiation anywhere is from Fukushima because its obvious by now that they will never say it, no matter what, period.

1	Only two weeks after signing up as an employee at Onward Health And Fitness, area resident Jennifer Lazar, initially enthusiastic about shedding excess debt in time for summer, has already lost interest in her 'tedious' five-day work routine, sources reported Friday. Lazar, lacking motivation. 'I knew it was going to be tough and that it would take time to see any changes in my bank statement, but going to work day in and day out got old real fast,' Lazar said. Although Lazar, 25, started with zeal as a receptionist for the popular Montclair-area health club, pledging to 'wake up early each morning and hit the gym's front desk right away,' her enthusiasm quickly ebbed when the reality of the job's demanding regimen began to sink in. 'I don't know how the other people do it,' said Lazar, who speculated that her coworkers must either be 'ultra-disciplined,' or lead less hectic lives. 'By the time I get through the grocery shopping, take my cat to the vet, and make payments on my car, there either isn't enough time or I'm just too wiped out to even think about heading to the gym.' While Lazar started her first week 'on the right foot,' she decided to skip her fourth day of work, claiming that it had been months since she'd performed any service-related activity and didn't want to 'overdo things at first.' By the end of the second week, however, Lazar had completed only two six-hour work sessions. 'I planned to go in to work every day last week, I really did,' Lazar said. 'But for whatever reason, I just couldn't get motivated to leave the house.' Lazar has also cited recent rainy weather and heavy construction slowing traffic across town as reasons to stay home. 'This has just been a bad month to start a new routine, what with all the other stuff I have going on,' Lazar said. 'Maybe I should just take the rest of the week off and start fresh first thing Monday morning.' On the few occasions in which Lazar managed to 'squeeze in' an hour on the club's phones or photocopier machine, she said that the repetitive and unchallenging nature of the activities left her feeling unfulfilled and physically drained rather than energized and rejuvenated. 'It's just the same mindless motions over and over,' Lazar said. 'I can do this stuff at home without having to drive 25 minutes out of my way.' Alex Driessen, a fellow front-desk clerk who personally trained Lazar in her first week, expressed no surprise at Lazar's excuse-making and lack of persistence. 'I've worked with a lot of people like Jennifer,' Driessen said. 'What people don't realize is that the key to on-the-job success is simply to show up every day.' Lazar admitted that her 'carefree' years of inactivity, when it seemed like she could sit idly with no consequences, have finally caught up with her. Although concerned that her once-slim credit-card debt has been ballooning almost out of control over the past several years, Lazar said it's still not enough to get her to 'hunker down' and change her habits. While some people are able to achieve a sense of personal accomplishment and satisfaction by working, Lazar said it is just not for her. 'Maybe I can't help itmaybe it's genetic. Whatever it is, it's time I accepted myself for who I am, instead of always holding myself up to society's unrealistic standards,' Lazar said.

2	Obama Is Furious After Toby Keith Takes THIS Massive Stand Against Him In his call for increased gun control in America, Obama has been leaning heavily on Hollywood influencers to help push his agenda. Thankfully, some independent-minded stars have decided to speak out in support of second amendment rights. Toby Keith is one of those stars. If it can happen in church, it can happen anywhere, so theres no answer to it, Keith told reporters when he appeared on the red carpet at the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He went on to claim that stricter gun laws would not have made a difference in the Charleston shooting. To prove his point, he pointed to several countries that have tough gun policies. For example Norway had 77 deaths in 2011 due to shootings and bombings. Keith also noted that it is hard to predict when violence will happen, and if an armed officer had been present at the church maybe seven or eight of those nine people would still be alive. What do you think? Do you support Keiths stance? 
3	Police Department in Small City in OK Gets Armored VehicleLily Dane Some might think thats a pretty good deal the military pays around $730,000 for each MRAP. He told News9 that the vehicle is going to be a useful tool: Its the best way to put people in harms way safely. Or get them out of harms way. If we have a subject thats in a house thats barricaded in the house, a bad guy, we can drive this to the neighbors house to get them out safely we can use it to get close to the house to start communication with them. This vehicle is able to go through four to five feet of water and our tactical teams gonna use it for high risk drug warrants. A lot of taxpayers and citizens, I think, are very uncomfortable with the idea of military equipment rolling through their cities. Does even that minimal cost justify the need for the equipment? How many times are these pieces really going to be deployed? According to USA.com, the total population of Guthrie in 2010 was 10,191. The citys crime rate is lower than the Oklahoma average crime rate and is lower than the national average crime rate. Lily Dane is a staff writer for The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared.

2	BREAKING: ISIS Just Killed 3 American Students According to reports, the terrorist attack and hostage situation at a Bangladeshi restaurant and bakery is finally over, after more than 12 hours of terror. More than 100 police officers stormed the building, killing six Islamic militants and capturing one. They were also able to rescue 13 hostages, although several others are believed to have been kidnapped. Police say that of the nearly 30 expatriates believe to have been dining in the restaurant, 20 have been killed and seven are still missing and believed to have been taken prisoner by the militants. Of those killed, nine were Italians, seven were Japanese and one was Indian. Another report indicates that three Americans were killed and many of the victims were beheaded in the attack. Two of the Americans were students and Emory University and one was from the University of California, Berkeley. The seven individuals missing are all representatives of the Japanese Governments foreign aid division. A Japanese spokesman claims they were giving their all for the development of BangladeshWe feel strong indignation at this inhumane, despicable act of terrorism, which has claimed many lives. Police have confirmed that while the militants were armed, they did most of their killings with machetes and sharp weapons. The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack, posting pictures of the bloody massacre on its propaganda websites. 
3	New Documentary Overcast - A Breakthrough In The Research Of Geoengineering And ChemtrailsBy selfnews Post Matthias conducted over 40 interviews in 10 different countries and spent thousands of hours on research and investigation to find out more about the aerosol spraying and why our public officials are not investigating it. OVERCAST incorporated both sides of the controversy, the debunkers and established scientists as well as the activists. The film brilliantly shows how the debunkers debunk themselves with their limited argumentation and lack of scientific data. For the first time in the movements history Matthias took samples directly out of the trails back in 2009. This research flight is not in the film but can be seen under the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2PaLS8YfUM The other two flights are building the red line of the film. After the film was almost completed, a very rare study from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology came out with some groundbreaking results; unregulated metals of aluminum and barium were found in the jet fuel, as described in many geoengineering patents (e.g. Welsbach, Huko). OVERCAST is a movie that every activist should watch in order to get the best arguments. Show it to your skeptical and unaware friends to wake them up. It is a film that gives the whole issue and movement the credibility needed in order to stop this crime. OVERCAST has already been shown in over 12 film festivals worldwide. Here is the link to view the online version of OVERCAST, watch or get your copy now: If he had really found evidence of chemtrails it would be actual news. But Ive looked and looked and never found these self proclaimed investigators demonstrating anything but normal levels of aluminum and other elements. Stop looking at fake news. I guess youre right, why should I look at sites which claim to have made scientific breakthroughs with no proof Or if youre seriously telling me you think this guy finally discovered chemtrails after all these years, where everyone else tried and failed, please link me to his thorough research which backs up his extraordinary claims. Thanks in advance. I am not aware of anyone else in this space who failed to identify chem trails. In fact, Edward Teller admitted that he played a key role in designing chem trails back in the 1950s. The concern that the sun would bake Earth caused various nuclear scientists like Teller to come up with the reflect back theory which underscores most of the chem trail ideology. Also, there have been major droughts in California starting in the early 1970s, and the methodology used to cause precipitation was chem trails. These scientists ignored the obvious health issues in favor of cooling the Earth and causing rain. Cloud seeding is not the same thing as chem trails. Or are you suggesting we would find silver and the other types of cloud seeding chemicals in chem trails? If so, Ive still never seen evidence of such claims. Id appreciate it if you could provide any evidence of such claims. Its hilarious, they (US government officials) state what they are doing, they tell you the are spraying and geo engineering the climate. Even when they hold congressional hearings telling you what they are doing, how they are doing it etc people have such deep rooted Stockholm syndrome even when they are being stabbed in the heart they proclaim to feel no pain. Very sad. Chemtrails are the answer to climate change, that is their excuse. Also in many countries in the world that A. Have planes flying in the sky have no Chemtrails because they are not apart of this madness China, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, in these countries Chemtrails dont exist. Its hilarious how folks like you make outrageous claims, like Congress has admitted to spraying chemtrails. But then you can never, ever, ever, point to evidence backing up your assertions. Ive done my homework here, and will continue to seek actual evidence. But what I wont do is blindly believe in massive trillion dollar government projects based on a few heavily edited YouTube videos. Id be happy to read congressional testimony if you can link to it. But I know that you cannot link to evidence of chemtrails. Cloud seeding maybe, but we all know cloud seeding and rain manipulation is real. Look up ! And watch it happen for yourself , Im watching it right now in MA! This is GLOBAL ,no more cognitive dissonance , no one with 2 eyes and half a brain can deny . lol. When I look up and see contrails I dont immediately think Im being poisoned by a vast multi-trillion-dollar global conspiracy involving every level of government as well as the private sector, and somehow kept secret for decades by a cabal of lizard-people who are pulling the strings of government. I see water vapor, and then get back to work. Youre either a moron, a paid moron , or actually truly ignorant.either, or . So when I see clouds Im supposed to be scared? Help me out OH, just go back and watch the telievision, you are cooked~ The television? What does that have to do with the science of con trails or chem trails? He should consult with Peter Kirby and G. Edward Griffin What in the World are they spraying? and Michael J.Murphy Why in the World are they spraying?. Arizona sky watch amongst others. An excellent film. Very useful in instilling doubts in honest deniers . It helps to discover an insane reality. This film was made for NONBELIEVERS (most of persons )

3	Deputy Tases Handcuffed Man Repeatedly: You Wanna Do This The Hard Way???Brandon Turbeville The scene is disturbing not only because of the fact that the Deputy uses such physical and dangerous force on an unarmed and clearly subdued man but also because of the officers crazed demeanor after the tasing took place. The video, which lasts a little over seven minutes long, shows the entire tasing incident, beginning with the officer, who has not surprisingly remained unidentified, barking orders at Charles James Lang Jr., the victim. Lang is clearly handcuffed and is leaning against the hood of the Deputys car. The Deputy can be seen and heard barking orders for Lang to put his face on the hood of [the] car. The Deputy can be heard to say If you dont put your face on the hood of my car, you are getting tased. Last warning. Lang does not comply with the demands and the Deputy shoots Lang with the taser. Lang immediately falls to the ground. While Lang is lying face down on the ground, still in handcuffs and visibly stunned from the tasering, the Deputy screams, Now, You wanna do this the hard way??? The Deputy then leans down in front of Langs face and screams You can stay right there!!! As Lang lifts his head up, the Deputy screams Stay right there!! Dont you move!! Lang then begins to roll over onto his back slowly when the Deputy once again yells, Dont you move!!. The Deputy then tases Lang again. Lang can be heard saying Im not moving man. The Deputy responds, Good! Dont move!! Lang repeats that he is not moving and the Deputy once again shouts DO. NOT. MOVE!! The Deputy then begins pointing at Lang and saying You are making this hard for yourself. You are making this hard for yourself!! Lang continues to try and reason with the Deputy but the cop will hear none of it. All I asked you for was your name. . . . Its over now. You are going to jail. A second deputy arrives shortly thereafter and, after a brief discussion between the two, the video ends. Lt. Curtis Wilson, the spokesman for the Richland County Sheriffs Department, stated that the Deputy followed proper procedure in the videotaped incident. You can watch the video for yourself here: While it is not entirely clear what caused the incident to take place to begin with, what is overwhelmingly clear is that Lang was entirely subdued. He was not a threat nor was he a flight risk. The Deputy simply used his taser as a cattle prod to force Lang into compliance. At least, the first jolt was for compliance. The second was sadism and torture. After Lang was on the ground, even more subdued and even less of a flight risk than he was before, the Deputy tased him for simply rolling over on his back. Yet what is even more disturbing than the actual act in the video is the Deputys crazed, power-hungry, and sadistic demeanor. One can clearly see that the Deputy is drunk with the power he believes his badge grants him, particularly over Lang, whose helplessness only makes the psychopathic Deputy hate the victim even more. The Deputys behavior echoes something seen commonly in places like Auschwitz, Russian Gulags, and Chinese labor camps; in other words, the desire to exercise outright power over another with the combined desire to express that power in the form of pain and humiliation. In every police state, it is this specific type of individual that rises to the top of society as well as the type that staffs the bottom rung of enforcement. It should also be noted that, while the details of what provoked Langs encounter with his attacker are still murky, the Deputy states that all he was asking for was Langs name, indicating that there is the distinct possibility that Lang had committed no actual crime except for accidentally being in the path of a feral cop. In addition, there is fact that Lang was arrested for disorderly conduct, the famous charge levied against uppity citizens who are under the false assumption that they have rights when no other charge will do. Langs prior arrest history is by no means flattering but there is no justification for the way that he was treated by the Richland County Deputy. Lang was also charged with resisting arrest; yet, if this is the only official charge, one must ask how a man can be charged for resisting arrest when there is no cause to arrest him to being with? At this time, we are still waiting on the official charges against Lang. We are under no illusions that the Deputy will be found guilty of anything but having acted appropriately. In fact, the Richland County Sheriffs Department wishes to justify this moment of psychopathy and torture as proper procedure. The RCSD also wishes to justify the use of a taser as a cattle prod as official department policy. This should not be lost on the citizens of Richland County or American citizens as a whole. The fact that the RCSD considers torture and shocking citizens into following orders as official policy and procedure of domestic police should tell Americans and Richland County residents just how the police view them in reality. Unfortunately, while Americans go weak in the knees with fear over tyrants across the world, they will continue to ignore the tyrants operating daily in their own back yard. They will continue to stay glued to the television set that tells them that Russia wants to invade them, Assad kills his own people, and that ISIS will kill them all if they do not support war overseas and an even greater police state at home. But America is already occupied. One need only to drive the highways or walk through any city in the country to see that an internal army has been created to keep them in line and fully aware that they are indeed slaves to the world oligarchy. No other nation need invade America if their wish is to enslave the American people. We have done that well enough on our own.

2	Burger King Becomes 1 Of 3 Restaurants To Fully Endorse Christianity Burger King has joined the ranks among McDonalds and Chick Fil A as the first three restaurants to fully endorse Christianity. They celebrated in a similar way to McDonalds by painting and decorating their windows. Not only are they celebrating the shallow Christmas many Americans come to see they showcase the deeper story of the birth of Jesus who died for our sins. This is a huge leap of faith by Burger King, especially in a country led by Obama where political correctness is out of control. Lets support them, and more importantly show other restaurants that they dont need to be afraid to do the same thing. If you support Christianity, do your part and SHARE this post so that others may follow in Burger Kings tracks. Will you eat at Burger King now knowing that they are Christian? 
2	FBI Prevent HUGE Mass Shooting By Busting Top ISIS Leader In Minnesota FBI just busted a 20-year-old radical Islamic terrorist named Abdirizak Warsame. He is one of their top leaders and is responsible for recruiting in Minnesota. Warsame is being charged for attempting to kill Americans and for sending ISIS members detained by the FBI back to Syria. Nine of these terrorists were caught by the FBI, but unfortunately one man made it back to Syria. Word that he was missing was a blow to the large Somali community. It went out like wildfire that he left, and nobody knew he was gone. I had no clue. Obama refuses to acknowledge that terrorism is alive in America. Yet there is indisputable evidence that he is wrong. Do you think Obama should face terrorism head on? 
1	Local beaver Dennis Messner is spending an inordinate amount of time and effort in the planning and construction phases of building his dam, according to neighbors close to the project. In the past four months, Messner, 4, has visited hundreds of other dams and drawn up detailed and extensive blueprints. He has researched topics ranging from advanced dome acoustics to the near-extinction of the North American beaver in the early 20th century, and plans to incorporate much of his research into his design. Dennis Messner 'There are two primary schools of thought on dam building: the instinctive school and the adaptive school,' Messner said, studying the river's current. 'I'm more of an integration-minded postmodernist. I don't believe that form should follow function, like most of my colleagues do. On the other hand, a dam is a celebration of beaver culture, and that is what it should reflect.' 'It's a lot to think about,' Messner continued. Despite time constraints dictated by the changing seasons, Messner has spent nearly 400 beaver-hours stripping logs of their bark and foliage, and more than two weeks scouting locations up and down the Muskoka River. 'I just want everything to be perfect,' he said. Longtime friend and fellow Beaver Lodge No. 913 brother Tim McManus, who is nearing completion of his own dam, took a more pragmatic approach to construction. 'Work-work-work. Gnaw-gnaw-gnaw. Build-build-build. Must hurry,' he said. Messner has already overthought and razed two dams this season alone. He dismissed the proportions of the first as 'aesthetically dysfunctional,' and the second was built out of cottonwood, which he called 'a mistake.' But, according to Messner, the latter experience got him thinking about different woods in ways he had never considered. 'What woods are the sturdiest, or the most visually pleasing?' Messner said. 'What does a birch dam say? Everyone seems to love sugar maple, but it's such an overfamiliar scrub tree. Would I be making a stronger statement with willow? I don't want this to be one of those generic McDams.' 'What do I have to sayas a beaver and as an artist?' he added. After much thought, Messner decided to reconstruct the anterior section of the dam with poplar wood on Tuesday, after he finished 'highly necessary' preparatory work chewing the branches into uniform-sized interlocking sticks. Yet such tasks struck fellow lodge members as excessive. 'Get to work, get to work, build the dam, build the dam,' Cyril Kyree said as he dragged a number of logs into the shallow lick of river where the rest of the lodge has built their nests. 'Chew-chew-chew. Need a mate. Build the dam.' An incomplete dam aborted over 'symmetry issues.' Messner rejected the criticism. 'Not everyone in this area cares or is even aware of how dam building alters an ecosystem,' Messner said. 'But I am, and, yes, I do wonder what kind of impact my dam will have on the environment. How can I make this the most positive experience possible, while still minimizing adverse impact on the wetlands? What kind of beaver would I be if I didn't take erosion science into consideration?' To that end, Messner has reached out to the local otter, fish, and waterfowl communities, and has incorporated their input into his design. Despite some frustration with his efforts, Messner professed faith in the process. 'Sometimes I feel like I'm just treading water,' he said. 'Then I remember that a beaver near Baysville built a dam that was nearly 12 feet high. There's even one that's almost 200 feet long in Manitoba. I want to build something that I can be proud of.' This marks the third consecutive spring in which Messner has sought to build the perfect dam. Many in the area believe that Messner will fail and resort to burrowing a hole in the muddy ground where he will spend the rest of the season, as he has done the past three years. 
2	17,000 Conservative Christian Citizens Sing Christmas Carols To Protest Against Muslims And Islamic Law Throughout the world, citizens are starting to fight back against the implementation of Islamic Sharia law. Recently, more than 17,000 German citizens gathered to protest against Islam in a rally that was organized by PEGIDA (Patriotic Europeans Against Islamisation of the West). The attendees were holding banners that read: No Sharia in Europe. Another sign read: Against Hatred, Violence, and the Quran. Attendees also took the opportunity to celebrate the Christmas season, singing carols in the name of Jesus Christ. There are glaring similarities between the sentiments in Europe and the ones in the United States, but clearly they are manifesting very differently. We can no longer deny that extremist violence is a growing threat. Similar to the Obama administration, the German government is attacking conservative Christians. Its clear their citizens have finally had enough. What do you think? Is this just wrong? Do Christians need support now, more than ever?

3	FBI Able For Several Years To Secretly Turn On Laptop CamerasMadison Ruppert While this may be surprising to some, it really shouldnt be. Previous reports revealed that the FBI employs hackers to create software to remotely activate the microphones on laptops and cell phones as well as cameras. The U.S. government has also become the worlds largest buyer of malware. The NSA also recommended physically removing the webcam from Apple laptops for security reasons. In August, the Wall Street Journal reported that the FBI has developed hacking tools like this for over a decade, though they rarely are discussed publicly. Thomas, who now sits on the advisory board of Subsentio, a company that helps telecommunications firms comply with federal wiretap laws, told the Post that the bureau uses the technique mainly in terrorism cases or the most serious criminal investigations. Because of encryption and because targets are increasingly using mobile devices, law enforcement is realizing that more and more theyre going to have to be on the device or in the cloud, Thomas said. Indeed, in January of this year a report indicated that all data stored on cloud services could be accessed by the U.S. government without a warrant. In the past, a federal magistrate rejected the FBIs attempt to get authorization to activate the laptop camera of a suspect. The magistrate ruled that it was extremely intrusive and could be a violation of the Fourth Amendment. Federal magistrate Judge Stephen W. Smith also said the Texas-based court did not have the jurisdiction to approve the search of a computer in an unknown location. Yet, another federal magistrate approved sending surveillance software to a target, though it did not involve remotely activating a computer camera. The surveillance software gave the FBI a detailed account of the computer of the target a federal fugitive including his hard drive space, the chips used on his computer and a list of installed programs. In the case the Post was reporting on, an individual calling himself Mo, probably located in Tehran, made a series of bomb threats. The FBI obtained a warrant to send surveillance software to Mos computer when he sign in to his Yahoo email account but the program never actually executed as designed, according to a handwritten note by a federal agent given to a court.

2	Muslim Liam Neeson Had THIS To Say About The Paris Terrorist Attacks Actor Liam Neeson was recently interviewed about last weeks terrorist attack in France. After expressing sympathy for the victims, the actor went to on to call for better gun control. Theres too many guns out there. Especially in America, Neeson claimed. I think the population is like, 320 million? Theres over 300 million guns. Privately owned, in America. I think its a (expletive) disgrace. Neeson was in the process of publicizing the third movie in the series of Taken films when he made the controversial statements. Some people are now calling that ironic, given that his character uses guns to kill his enemies during his heroic attempts to save his family members. Neeson denied that roles like that of Takens Bryan Mills is a motivating factor for buying guns. A character like Bryan Mills going out with guns and taking revenge, its fantasy, Neeson claims. Its in the movies. It doesnt mean theyre all going to go out and go, Yeah, lets get a gun! What do you think of Neesons comments? 
3	Stock Markets All Over The World Crash As We Begin 2016By Michael Snyder In the U.S., it looked like we were on course for a truly historic day as well. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 467 points at one stage, but some very mysterious late-day buying activity helped trim the loss to just 276 points at the close of the market. The sudden market turmoil caught many by surprise, but it shouldnt have. The truth is that a whole host of leading indicators have been telling usthat this is exactly what should be happening. The global financial crisis that began in 2015 is now accelerating, and my regular readers already know precisely what is coming next. The financial turmoil of the last 24 hours is making headlines all over the globe. It began last night in China. Very bad manufacturing data and another troubling devaluation of the yuan sent Chinese stocks tumbling to a degree that we have not seen since last August. In fact, the carnage would have probably been far, far worse if not for a new circuit breaker that China recently implemented. Once the CSI 300 was down 7 percent, trading was completely shut down for the rest of the day. The following comes fromUSA Today Under a new market circuit breaker rule in China established last year, which is designed to slow down markets and halt panic in the event of moves of 5% or more, the CSI 300, a large-company stock index in mainland China was halted for 15 minutes in mid-afternoon trading after diving more than 5%. But when shares headed lower once again just minutes after the initial trading halt, and losses for the day swelled to more than 7%, the new circuit breaker rules kicked in, prompting a shutdown of mainland Chinas stock market for the day, according to Bloomberg. After the first 15 minute halt, panic set in as Chinese traders rushed to get out of their trades before the 7 percent circuit breaker kicked in. This resulted inan absolutely chaotic seven minutes as investors made a mad dash for the exits The sell orders piled up fast on Monday at Shenwan Hongyuan Group, Chinas fifth-biggest brokerage by market value. Chinas CSI 300 Index had just tumbled 5 percent, triggering a 15-minute trading halt, and stock investors were scrambling to exit before getting locked in by a full-day suspension set to take effect at 7 percent. When the first halt was lifted, the market reaction was swift: it took just seven minutes for losses to reach the limit as volumes surged to their highs of the day. Investors rushed to the door during the level-one stage of the circuit breaker as they fretted the market would go down further, said William Wong, the head of sales trading at Shenwan Hongyuan in Hong Kong. The financial carnage continued once the European markets opened. Markets were red all across the continent, and things were particularly bad in Germany. The DAX was down 459 points, and it is rapidly approaching the psychologically-important 10,000 barrier. Overall, it was the worst start to a year that the European markets have ever experienced. When U.S. markets opened, unexpectedly bad U.S. manufacturing data seemed to add fuel to the fire. Monday morning we learned that our manufacturing sector is contracting at a pacethat we havent seen since the last recession Americas manufacturing sector shrank for the second straight month in December. The industrys key index ISM hit 48.2% in December, the lowest mark since June 2009. Anything below 50% is a contraction and a month ago it hit 48.6%. The index has fallen for six straight months. The trend is certainly heading in a direction that would ring alarm bells, says Sam Bullard, senior economist at Wells Fargo. This is yet another sign that tells us that the U.S. economy has already entered the next recession. And what happens to the markets during a recession? They go down. In addition to the bad datathat we got from the U.S. and China, there was another number that was also extremely troubling. South Korean exports have traditionallybeen considered a key leading indicator for the entire global economy, and on Monday we learned that they were downa whopping 13.8 percentin December from a year earlier One of the more reliable indicators of the global economy continues to confirm fears of a worldwide slowdown. South Korean exports also referred to as the worlds economic canary in the coal mine fell 13.8% in December from a year earlier. This was a deterioration from the 4.8% decline in November, and it was much worse than the 11.7% decline expected by economists. The nothing is happening crowd may not be willing to admit it yet, but the truth is that a major global economic slowdown is already happening. And what happened to global markets today is perfectly consistent with the longer term patterns that have been emerging over the past six months or so. In the weeks and months to come, things are going to get even worse. There will always be days when the markets are up, but dont let those days fool you into thinking that the crisis is over. In the western world we are so accustomed to 48 hour news cycles, and many of us seem to be incapable of focusing on trends that develop over longer periods of time. If I was going to put together a scenario for a global financial crisis for a textbook, what we have seen over the past six months or so would be perfect. Things are playing out exactly how they should be, and that means big trouble for the rest of 2016. But that doesnt mean that we have to live in fear. In fact, I just wrote an entire article entitled 2016: A Year For Living With No Fear. It is when times are at their worst that our character is put to the test. Some will respond to what happens in 2016 with courage and strength, and others will respond with fear and panic. As things start falling apart all around us this year, how will you respond?

3	Police State BritainStephen Lendman They spy on their own populations. They do it globally. They conduct espionage. They collect enormous amounts of personal information. They do it illegally. Obama wages war on freedom. He targets whistleblowers and investigative journalists exposing government wrongdoing. So does Britain. It equates doing so with terrorism. Londons Guardian is threatened. Its offices were raided. Hard drive stored information was destroyed. Its editor, Alan Rusbridger, was warned. Cease and desist or else. He asked if steps would be taken to close down the Guardians reporting through a legal route by going to court to force the surrender of the material on which we were working. The official confirmed that, in the absence of handover or destruction, this was indeed the governments intentions. It was one of the more bizarre moments in the Guardians long history, he said. It was likely the most chilling. Two GCHQ security experts oversaw the destruction of Guardian hard drives. They checked to be sure nothing but mangled bits of metal remained. Whitehall was satisfied. Freedom in Britain sustained another body blow. Its fast disappearing like in America. Both nations are more police states than democracies. They mock virtually all democratic principles. They govern lawlessly. They do it ruthlessly. Sweeping surveillance is official policy. So is suppressing information about government wrongdoing. It reinforces government claims about compromising national security. When good journalism is equated with doing it, freedom dies. Guardian contributors are targeted for doing their job. Doing so amounts to state censorship. Warnings about prosecutions and imprisonments follow. Free expression is the most important of all rights. Without it, all others at risk. On the bogus pretext of fighting terrorism, America and Britain want none of their lawless activities exposed. On August 18, UK authorities detained Glenn Greenwalds partner, David Miranda, at Heathrow Airport. He was held incommunicado for nine hours. He was denied legal counsel. A counterterrorism law pretext was used to do so. He was in transit from Berlin to Rio de Janeiro. He threatened no one. He violated no laws. It didnt matter. His laptop, cell phone, camera, memory sticks, DVDs and game consoles were confiscated. It was done lawlessly. Police states operate this way. Londons Observer said Miranda was detained for promoting political causes. His detention shone new light on the Metropolitan polices explanation for invoking terrorism powers a decision critics have called draconian. LondonsMirrorheadlined David Miranda detention shows UK is becoming a police state. Targeting him shows just how determined the security services are to get the upper hand. It illustrates the general point that we are now living in a security state. Its more than ever true today. State-of-the-art technology makes it easy. So do rogue politicians wanting unchallenged control. Greenwald called detaining his partner a failed attempt at intimidation. Itll have the opposite effect, he said. Virtually never are in transit passengers detained like Miranda. Schedule 7 of Britains Terrorism Act says fewer than 3 people in every 10,000 are examined as they pass through UK borders. Over 97% of examinations last under an hour. Individuals are questioned regarding possible involvement in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. Miranda didnt enter Britain. He was en route to Rio. Targeting him was unrelated to terrorism. It was intimidation. It was harassment. Downing Street was directly involved. It sent a message. Responsible journalism exposing government wrongdoing is threatened. Authorities want it entirely eliminated. Miranda was released uncharged. Journalists, editors, human rights lawyers and civil libertarians expressed outrage over what happened. Doing so reflects police state harshness. UK Metropolitan police lied saying: Police states justify lawlessness this way. Miranda was threatened. He was treated like a criminal. He was told he faced prosecution if he didnt cooperate. He did nothing wrong. It didnt matter. It got worse. On September 6, Britains high court said government authorities could continue examining materials seized from him. They could do it to determine if he violated Britains Terrorism and Official Secrets Acts. UK courts lack independence like Americas. They support the worst of government practices. They rubber-stamp some of the most outrageous acts. They violate fundamental freedoms doing so. On November 2, Reuters headlined NSA Leaks Journalist Glenn Greenwalds Partner Accused of Terrorism, Espionage. After returning to Rio, Miranda filed suit. He wants lawlessly seized materials returned. It said (i)intelligence indicates that Miranda is likely to be involved in espionage activity which has the potential to act against the interests of UK national security. Miranda wasnt charged. At least not so far. He remains threatened. He may become as much at risk as Edward Snowden. A hearing on Mirandas legal challenge is scheduled this week. During a preparatory session days earlier, new details of how and why British authorities (targeted him) were made public. Materials authorities seized allegedly included 58,000 NSA and GCHQ documents. In an email to Reuters, Greenwald said: On October 31, German lawmaker Hans-Christian Stroebele met with Edward Snowden. He did so in Moscow. He released a letter he wrote. In part, it said: (S)peaking truth is not a crime. He thanked supporters for their efforts in upholding the international laws that protect us all. Not in America or Britain. In a document read into the public record, Britains MI5 said: A UK Washington spokesperson had no comment. Equating good journalism with terrorism shows Britain will stop at nothing to keep government wrongdoing secret. Doing so shows how low Britain has sunk. Its stripped off facade reveals dark side tyranny. Britains Terrorism Law provides wide latitude. Its terrorism definition includes a use or threat designed to influence the government (or international governmental organization). Its made for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, or ideological cause. It does so if it endangers a persons life, other than that of the person committing the action (and) creates a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public. Most chilling is that UK security services, on their own, can decide if legitimate journalism is terrorism or its equivalent. They can do so without publicly releasing materials allegedly able to compromise national security. They can pronounce guilt on their say alone. They can get courts to rubber-stamp their accusations. Its much the same in America. Government whistleblowers are threatened. Theyre fraudulently charged under the long ago outdated Espionage Act. Its a WW I relic. It belongs in historys dustbin. Its unrelated to exposing government wrongdoing. Revealing it is equated with aiding the enemy. The so-called enemy apparently is we the people. Our fundamental constitutional rights are threatened. Upholding them is what courts are supposed to do. Not in America. Not in Britain. Terrorism or acts relating to it are what both governments say they are. On July 30, Bradley Manning was wrongfully convicted on 20 of 22 bogus charges. He never had a chance. He was judged guilty by accusation. He got 35 years imprisonment for acting responsibly. Its by far the harshest ever punishment for leaking information everyone has a right to know. Washington wants Edward Snowden prosecuted the same way. Russia granted him political asylum. Whether hell stay free remains to be seen. Hes Americas public enemy number one. Safety is his main concern. Hes got good reason to worry. Hes a wanted man. He knows how NSA operates. Itll try monitoring him every way possible. Whether hell stay free from its tracking remains to be seen. The same is true for everyone. America and Britain are ruthless. Theyre unforgiving. They want unchallenged power. They want no one compromising it. They want government wrongdoing suppressed. UK Prime Minister David Cameron threatened Britains media with injunctions or so-called D (Defense Advisory) notices. Theyre official requests not to publish or broadcast information for reasons of national security. Londons Guardian and Miranda remain in limbo. Criminal charges could follow. Responsible journalism is threatened. It bears repeating. Equating it with terrorism shows how low Britain has sunk. The same holds for America. Police state justice prevails.

1	Saying that no system as equitable or impartial could be found within the realms of government, business, or academia, a study released Wednesday by Princeton Universitys Department of Sociology found that limbo competitions are the nations last example of a pure meritocracy. After an exhaustive search, we have concluded that the game of limbo is the sole remaining social structure in which rewards and accolades are doled out exclusively on the basis of participants ability, said lead researcher Marvin Hall, adding that instances of people ducking beneath a progressively lowered bar until just one person remains represented the only scenarios in the U.S. in which factors such as the participants wealth, race, personal connections, or physical attractiveness played absolutely no role in determining the outcome. Unlike nearly every other organizational system we analyzed, favoritism and corruption are completely absent from limbo. Those who can slip below the stick advance, and those who fail to pass beneath it do not; nothing else matters. This appears to be the only truly level playing field left anywhere in the country. According to Hall, federal-level politics and casting for community playhouse productions of Bye Bye Birdie remained the least meritocratic systems in the United States. 
1	Yearning for a chance to find some kind of closure and say goodbye, the U.S. populace told reporters this week that they longed for just one more day with the nations dying manufacturing sector. Americans across the country confirmed that they had seen signs of the ailing sectors decline in recent years and now felt a strong desire to be there in its final days, if only just to look on as the frail manufacturing industry sent a few last consumer products down the assembly line. The manufacturing sector used to be so active and healthy that I guess I thought it would always be therebut now, Id give anything just to pay my last respects before its gone forever, said Henry West of Canton, MA, who appeared visibly grief-stricken at the prospect of losing a sector that had been a constant presence in Americans lives for so long. Its been heart-wrenching to watch a beloved industry waste away to practically nothing. You can tell the manufacturing sector is really hurting. And with all its plants, mills, and factories shutting down, it looks like its finally ready to pass on, added West. I just want to offer my support in these last few precious moments. The U.S. populace confirmed that they would always have fond recollections of the period in the 1940s and 50s when the manufacturing industry was full of energy and vitality. However, the nation acknowledged that the sector had turned into a shell of its former self in the decades since, growing ever more feeble and significantly slowing down to the point where it could barely handle producing household appliances anymore. Millions of Americans reportedly expressed their wish to turn the clock back for a final glimpse at the good old days, when the industrys car assembly plants in Detroit were operating at full capacity with thousands of skilled laborers pouring into factory doors every morning. Others told reporters that just seeing smoke pouring out of a Pennsylvania steel mills flue one last time would be enough to remind them of how strong and vibrant the economic sector once was. However, nearly all U.S. citizens admitted that this was only wishful thinking given the aging sectors rapid downturn since 2007, saying theyd recently realized that all they could hope for was to have a few nice moments before the inevitable occurs. I have all these wonderful memories from back when the conveyor belts were constantly running, shifts were working around the clock, and it seemed like the manufacturing sector was just so full of life, but now, I can barely recognize it at all, said Alison Panetta of Akron, OH, explaining that she now simply wanted to make sure she said her farewells on her own terms. At this point, Ive accepted that it isnt going to get any better. I just want to enjoy what little time we still have left. I made the mistake of not doing that with the family farming sector, and Im not going to make it again, Panetta added. According to sources, many Americans admitted that they had been in denial for years about the manufacturing sectors decline, and nearly all citizens expressed regret that they hadnt stopped and truly cherished the plastics, transportation equipment, machinery, and electronics industries when they were in their prime. You look at the way its struggling with something as simple as textiles these days, and it seems like it could slip away at any minute, said Kyle Dunham of Manassas, VA. Its so tough to see the manufacturing industry this way, especially knowing how much we all used to rely on it, but theres just no getting around the harsh truth. More than anything, I just hope the sector goes quickly, Dunham added. Its time for the pain and suffering to end. 
1	Local man Timothy Nolan announced Friday that after initially struggling to get into the right frame of mind for a new project, he had finally gotten his horrible creative juices flowing. 'At first it was a challenge to jump-start my lackluster imagination, but once the floodgates of terrible ideas opened, it was pretty much nonstop drivel from there on out,' said Nolan, adding that after he let his appalling artistic impulses fly, he couldn't stop his mind from churning out heinously abhorrent idea after heinously abhorrent idea. 'With the sheer number of god-awful things just waiting to burst out of me, I wonder why I ever doubted my enfeebled and degenerate creative sensibilities in the first place. I'm a vessel for art in the worst possible way.' As of press time, the first chapter of a new novel was stalled after Nolan was thankfully hit with a miraculous case of writer's block.

Although the man has every right to display the sign, others arent taking his sense of humor very welleven though the sign is only aimed at someone thinking about robbing him.

2	BREAKING: Michelle Obama Discovers Baracks Mistress, So She Does Something Unthinkable It is no secret that First Lady Michelle Obama has a bit of a jealous streak, but new rumors take that jealousy to a whole new (dangerous) level. According to reports, Vera Baker was hired in 2004 to work on Barack Obamas Illinois senate campaign. Baker was a beautiful young woman, who was later seen being dropped off at Obamas hotel in a limo, where she reportedly spent the night. Rumors quickly spread that Obama was having an affair with his aide, and reports indicate that Michelle attacked her husband, forcing him to fire Baker. She also reportedly demanded that he move her to the island of Martinique. They said she was removed from her position and the political scene because Michelle got wind of the fact that she had a close friendship with her husband, friends of Baker told a source for the Daily Mail. She disappeared, and then she reappeared in the Caribbean. What do you think? Is this yet another truth the Obamas are hiding from the public? Does it sound like something Michelle would do?

3	Ovarian Cancer: What We Think We Know May Harm UsSayer Ji Ovarian cancer strikes fear into the hearts of women, their families, and their doctors, alike. Risks of false positive diagnosis leading to a treatment that has been demonstrated to result in the worst outcomes of any gynecologic cancer have led the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) to recommend against routine screening.[1] The real tragedy largely still unacknowledged is that ovarian cancer statistics are not transparent to the fact that five times more women without ovarian cancer end up having surgery than those with ovarian cancer, according to a 2011 JAMA retrospective study of ovarian cancer screening.[2] The JAMA trial of 78,216 women found that those in the intervention group who underwent annual screening for ovarian cancer (39,105) evaluating serum cancer antigen (CA-125) for 6 years and transvaginal ultrasound for 4 years, were far more likely to receive a false-positive diagnosis (3,285 women) than an accurate positive cancer diagnosis (212 women). 32.9 percent of the false positives 1,080 women opted for oophorectomy surgery (surgical removal of one or both ovaries), a fact that can not fully convey the untold suffering, morbidity and decrease in lifespan they experienced as a result of these medical mistakes. For instance, we know from breast cancer research that even when women receive false positive diagnoses that are soon followed by corrective cancer-free diagnoses, the negative psychosocial outcomes of the shock of false diagnosis persist for at least 3 years. [See: Hidden Dangers of Mammograms That Every Woman Should Know.] Presumably, family history and so-called BRCA gene status are the best method to determine your risk. And today, with high profile figures like Angelina Jolie removing her breasts and soon her ovaries due to what she is being told is her extremely elevated risk associated with her family history and BRCA status, millions around the world are now looking at Jolies decision as a viable method to take back control of their health vis--vis cancer. The Orwellian result? Prevention is being equated with the removal of non-diseased organs. But are BRCA mutations technically, BRCA single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), of which there are hundreds[3] really the primary drivers of ovarian cancer risk? Is being born with bad genes, and having close family members with a history of gynecological cancer, alone enough to make an informed choice? The answer is a resounding NO. BRCA mutation status is only one factor to consider. Every man and woman has the BRCA1 and 2 genes within their genome, and regardless of whether they were born with a variant that renders the cancer-protective BRCA protein dysfunctional or inactive (i.e. germline mutations), or came to acquire it later in life as a result of genetic processes we do not fully understand (i.e. somatic mutation), BRCA genes in susceptible tissues, e.g. breast, ovary, prostate, can be deactivated through factors beyond the control of the genes (epigenetic factors), such as through viral infection (SV-40[4], Epstein-Barr virus[5]), chemical exposures,[6] nutritional factors,[7][8] and even mind-body processes[9] that have downstream physiological effects that directly modulate the structure and function of our genome and epigenome. In fact, whether a BRCA gene is rendered dysfunctional through an inborn mutation or from the outside in, through the silencing of the gene (hypermethylation of the promote region of the gene), the result is the same as far as the cell phenotype and BRCA protein production is concerned. This means that risk can not be calculated accurately without taking into account both genetic and epigenetic factors, with the crucial difference being that epigenetic changes to BRCA such as hypermethylation of the gene is at least theoretically partially reversible and/or preventable through behavioral, nutritional, environmental and lifestyle changes. There is a prevailing belief in conventional medicine and among the lay public, today, that if you possess a BRCA1 mutation, you are fated to develop cancer. But inborn or developed BRCA1 variations are so complex, with literally hundreds identified, that there are few studies that have even attempted to identify and validate the risk associated with each variant. Bunched together under the umbrella concept of a BRCA gene mutation, the reality is that anyone can develop BRCA1 or BRCA2 dysfunction in their lifetime through chemical and infectious exposures and nutritional incompatibilities and deficiencies, such that the resulting gene-silenting effect (methylation) is the same: the BRCA genes are altered within the cells, producing changes consistent with the appearance of pathology in a screen-detected lesion or tumor. Indeed, a recent study published in Tumour Biology found that BRCA1 gene silencing through promoter region hypermethylation were frequent events in ovarian cancer. The frequency of BRCA1 gene silencing in epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) was 51.2% and 57% in low malignant potential tumors (LMP). They found that BRCA1 protein expression (remember, BRCA proteins protect against DNA damage and tumor initiation and promotion) was significantly lower in EOCs, and that the lack of protein expression correlated with tumor grade and type, and the methylation status correlated with reduced BRCA1 expression. Remarkably, they found that benign tumors and normal ovarian tissue showed no methylation of the BRCA1 gene indicating that epigenetic methylation (as opposed to inherited gene defects) is also a primary driver of ovarian cancer malignancy. Clearly, this indicates that factors outside the primary DNA sequences that constitute the BRCA genes themselves play a vitally important role in determining if these genes function correctly. This shifts the focus to the avoidable causes of BRCA gene silencing, indicating that cancer risk is not a juggernaut force of lethality buried within the destiny of genes; rather, that we have a hand to play in the process. Furthermore, the published literature shows that having a BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation actually confers improved survival from ovarian cancer. A recent meta-analysis found that of 35 evaluable studies, 23 identifiedBRCAdysfunction status as a favorable prognostic factor.[10] The commonly agreed upon explanation for this counterintuitive finding is that platinum-based chemotherapy is more effective against ovarian cancer cells that have dysfunctional DNA repair mechanisms associated with a BRCA mutation. The problem, however, is that the class of chemotherapy compounds that exert genotoxicity as their primarily mechanism of action also result in widespread collateral damage to healthy tissue, as well as enriching the chemoresistant cancer stem cell subpopulation within a tumor, leading to in increase in the malignancy of the cancer tissue that can not be de-bulked/destroyed the result of which is the recurrence of more aggressive, life-threatening cancers, despite the slight improvement in survival offered initially from the treatment (stage 4 ovarian cancer only has a 5-year survival rate of 18%). While not yet sufficiently explored, relatively non-toxic botanical extracts such as curcumin, resveratrol and green tea, and several dozen others (including frankincense), exert anti-ovarian cancer properties, while often exhibiting the property of selective cytoxicity, targeting ovarian cancer cells for epigenetic modifications leading to arrest of the cell cycle and cell death, without harming non-cancerous cells. It is possible that BRCA dysfunction, therefore, may also respond exceptionally well to plant-based therapies, putting a different spin on the prevalent breast and ovarian cancer gene meme, and perhaps conferring a survival advantage if only researchers would make effectiveness and safety a priority over developing proprietary formulations that are eligible for patent approval. [See: Why the Law Forbids The Medicinal Use of Natural Substances] Clearly, given these considerations, we must move beyond the fatalistic breast cancer or ovarian cancer gene (BRCA) memeplex and recognize the factors that we can control are at least as important as those we cannot (i.e. germline DNA sequences). For instance, we know that not only can certain petrochemicals knock out BRCA gene function, but certain natural food components like reseveratrol found in grapes and peanuts, can protect the BRCA gene against this exposure. For a detailed explanation of this research read our article Beyond the Breast Cancer Gene (BRCA): Why Food is Your Medicine. Medical science is going through massive internal shifts today, still trying to catch up almost a decade later to the fact that we are in the post-genomic era, and the sequencing of genes themselves will not produce the much anticipated holy grail of molecular biology, and by implication radical improvements in the cure of disease. We, as a society, are being forced to consider the vital importance of our lifestyle in the complexity of modern chronic illness. Unfortunately, lifestyle is still a neglected and dismissed concept in the halls of Americas medical schools. The evidence speaks to the dangerous reductionism of this paradigm, particularly in the realm of womens health and the protection of the female body from the aggression of an ill-informed establishment. Wrest back control and shed the fear, which, in and of itself, may be medicines most toxic intervention.[11] REFERENCES [1] U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Ovarian Cancer Screening Recommendations. 2012 [2] Buys SS, Partridge E, Black A, et al.

3	Supreme Court sides with Monsanto, backs patents on self-replicating technologyMadison Ruppert This comes not even two months after Congress passed the so-called Monsanto Protection Act, which was later signed into law by Obama. One senator even apologized for the bill after public outcry. This case, Bowman v. Monsanto Co. et al., specifically concerned Monsantos patented genetically modified soybeans but it very well might be extended to similar products like Monsantos popular Roundup Ready corn. Yet when writing for the court, Justice Elena Kagan made it clear that it does not address every self-replicating product. Our holding today is limited addressing the situation before us, rather than every one involving a self-replicating product, Kagan wrote. We recognize that such inventions are becoming ever more prevalent, complex, and diverse, Kagan continued. In another case, the articles self-replication might occur outside the purchasers control. Or it might be a necessary but incidental step in using the item for another purpose. The Court ruled against 74-year-old Indiana farmer Vernon Hugh Bowman who signed contracts pledging to not save seeds from his crops, guaranteeing that he has to buy new seeds every year. According to The New York Times, Bowman bought seeds from a grain elevator filled with a mix of seeds in the reasonable hope that many of them contained Monsantos patented Roundup Ready gene. When certain plaints survived, Bowman would save the seeds for further plantings, cutting into Monsantos profits. Initially, a federal judge ordered Bowman to pay Monsanto over $84,000 for his violation and he fought it all the way to the Supreme Court. While Bowman claimed that a concept called patent exhaustion allowed him to use the products as he pleased since he obtained them legally, Kagan said it didnt apply to the way he used Monsantos seeds. Under the patent exhaustion doctrine, Bowman could resell the patented soybeans he purchased from the grain elevator; so too he could consume the beans himself or feed them to his animals, Kagan wrote for the Court. But the exhaustion doctrine does not enable Bowman to make additional patented soybeans without Monsantos permission, and that is precisely what Bowman did. Kagan wrote. If simple copying were a protected use, a patent would plummet in value after the first sale of the first item containing the invention, Kagan wrote. The undiluted patent monopoly, it might be said, would extend not for 20 years as the Patent Act promises, but for only one transaction. And that would result in less incentive for innovation than Congress wanted. When the Obama administration which has a tight relationship with Monsanto wrote an amicus brief, the administration said that the Court shouldnt worry about the fact that this decision could have troubling implications for traditional farming techniques. Usually, farmers freely use parts of a previous harvest to produce the next but the Obama administration said that Congress is better equipped than this court to consider such issues. The Court unequivocally sided with Monsanto in the case, protecting their business model from what the corporation claimed would mean its very doom. Without reasonable license restrictions prohibiting the replanting of second- and later-generation soybeans, Monsantos ability to protect its patented technology would effectively be lost as soon as the first generation of the product was introduced into the market, Monsanto wrote in a filing. Practically, this issue affects every farmer in the country and the method of planting that farmers such as Mr. Bowman have used for generations, Bowmans attorneys said. Regardless of how unnatural the conditions may seem, the licensing agreement with farmers also forbids the seeds to be resold for commercial planting, and they cannot be used for research, crop breeding or seed production, David Kravets wrote for Threat Level. Welcome to farming in the age of patented, genetically modified organisms, he added. Anti-Monsanto demonstrations part of the worldwide March Against Monsanto are going to occur later this month. Thus far, protests are planned in over 40 countries.

3	Surviving Economic Calamity Through Creative ResistanceJudy Morris First, its important to understand precisely what brought America to her knees and created a situation that is literally wiping out the middle class. The evil and insidious root of the poisonous tree that resulted in the downfall of American prosperity is 1913 the Federal Reserve Act that spawned the warfare-welfare state. The sole purpose for the creation of the Federal Reserve was the massive concentration of wealth and power by taking economic power away from the people and free markets, and transferring that power to the ruling elites and the political class. For a concise and scholarly understanding of the Federal Reserve, I highly recommend reading The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin. Bad as the Federal Reserve is, the damage that it could inflict was restricted so long as the dollar was still tethered to gold. When Nixon de-tethered the dollar from gold in 1971, the dollar then became a 100% pure paper fiat currency and we got 2 economic and liberty destroying fatal diseases: 1. Banksters Gone Wild and 2. Government Gone Wild. The resulting harm created by the Federal Reserve can be pictorially presented to show its devastating impact on the middle class. The richest 1 percent of Americans last year took home 23 percent of total national income. Back in 1980, the richest 1 percent took home 8 percent of total income. The last time the top 1 percent took home more than 20 percent of total income was in 1928, just before the Great Crash. Im not in agreement with the Keynesian economic policies advocated by Reich but hes correct in his disclosure that the rich are getting richer and the poor and middle classes are getting poorer. Little does Reich understand that the exact policies that he endorses created the great economic disparity. Moving forward, there is virtually no hope that the economic mess will reverse itself in the immediate or near future. At best, all folks can do is prepare and plan for a survival strategy. However, just because our tyrannical rulers may be insanely committed to shock-and-awe economic destruction for no purpose other than to maintain their absolute power, does not in any way imply that the situation is hopeless for the people. In fact, the elites have sown the seeds of their own destruction because the system is so far gone and so out of whack that its impossible for the banksters and the elites to do anything to reverse the destructive course that they charted. Hope lies in Starving the Beast know as Fedzilla (government) through the building of underground economies that will include voluntarism, agorism, trade among individuals, bartering, cyberspace currencies like Bitcoin, homesteading for food self-sufficiency and just about any productive and voluntary economic activity that can be accomplished that is beyond the ever watchful eye of the government. Government only survives so long as folks perceive a value in supporting the government by conferring legitimacy upon the State and its institutions. Its all a matter of trust; and when trust flies out the window, folks will literally strip the government of its legitimacy by opting out of the system. Nowhere is this premise more validated than in Greece. Greece is bankrupt and the Greeks have become notorious for just opting out of the system and not paying taxes. In a PBS article, here, Paul Solman wrote an article titled In Greece, Underground Economy Fuels Financial Crisis. Solman is only partially correct because he blames the Greek aversion to paying taxes to the thieving and corrupt government to be the root cause of Greek financial problems. However, Solman accurately describes the magnitude of the Greek underground economy If you think theres been a tax revolt in the US . . . consider Greece. The estimates weve heard, from the sources that seem the most reliable: 40-50 percent of the Greek economy is underground. i.e., untaxed. The US has a very powerful and ruthlessly efficient system of civil asset forfeiture and the government will seize your property, clean out your bank accounts and leave you penniless and homeless if the government believes that you are non-compliant. The secret to Starving the Beast in America requires advanced planning, thinking and the ability to be clever and smart about it. Never advertise or brag on Facebook or social media or in any electronic communication venue that you are proudly ripping off the government. Successfully Starving the Beast requires a far more subtle approach. Many folks have jobs and are linked to the system with automatic paycheck deposits and they must file tax returns. Folks should file tax returns on all traceable income because the non-filing of tax returns is a giant red flag that gets government attention. Much is being written about the 1099 independent contractor economy, here and here. One of the biggest obstacles facing the government is its ability to collect taxes. So long as folks are employed as employees, the government easily got its share of plunder right off the top via the federal withholding tax and the Social Security tax, along with other taxes including state taxes. Enforcement of tax collections was never really much of a problem for the government so long as most folks were employees. The government didnt need an army of tax collectors because employers functioned as the primary tax collectors for the government. But with the economy tanking, and necessity being the mother of invention, folks are now forced to discover new paradigms of survival; and many of those survival techniques involved just opting out of the system to the extent that one can. Forms of passive resistance involve minimizing the ability of the government to track you through your financial transactions like bank accounts, credit/debit cards and any electronic financial transactions. Some folks have embraced the cash and money order economy because such transactions are untraceable. Finally, folks need to seriously focus on what they can do to strengthen their survival skills, while simultaneously being as invisible as possible to the government. The government has finally forced itself in one pickle of a mess because the welfare-warfare state has devastated the economy that feeds government revenues. Moreover, folks who feel angry and betrayed will do everything within their power to stiff the government, because thats basic human psychology in the best of times. Moving forward, I absolutely do anticipate a massive growth in the underground economy because it constitutes the only reliable and viable mechanism for survival. Governments and fiat central banksters are destined to go down, but we dont have to go down with them. If anything, the human instinct to survive is our strongest instinct and if we are careful and cautious, it wont fail us. Judy Morris runs ablog dedicated to peace, liberty, prosperity and natural rights for all human beings. The welfare-warfare state and central banks are the enemy of human liberty and prosperity.

3	France Is the Second Country to Declare Scientific War on HPV VaccinesCatherine J. Frompovich My follow-up blog , HPV Vaccine Harms Have Japanese Demanding No More HPV Vaccinations, was published on March 31, 2014. Please see SaneVaxs Press Release regarding that historic event in Japan regarding the HPV vaccines. One of the most important actions taken by the Japanese government as a result of that symposium, according to the Los Angeles CityWatch, is that Japanese medical institutions are now required by law to inform young girls or their parents that the government does not recommend the vaccines any longer because of their associated adverse effects. [1] [CJF emphasis added. Shouldnt EVERY health agency and government on the face of the globe do that too?] As a result of the scientific work presented during the Japanese symposium, medical researchers in France apparently think there is enough scientific information to take initiatives to deal with similar problems in French girls receiving HPV vaccines. As Norma Erickson, President of SaneVax says, The French government is not only listening to vaccine victims, safety advocates and scientists they are sponsoring open scientific debates. Open scientific debates must occur in every country in the world, something this writer has been advocating ever since she can remember hearing of vaccine adverse events happening to infants and toddlers back in the mid to late 1980s. According to the latest SaneVax Press Release, Paris, France: The use of aluminum adjuvants and HPV vaccines benefit versus risk profile will be under intense scrutiny and open scientific debate on May 22, 2014. Stakeholders from both sides of the vaccine debate will have an opportunity to present their case to members of the French Parliament, French Senate, health authorities, medical professionals and the public due to massive efforts on the part of E3M, a non- governmental organization of patients with MMF (macrophagic myofasciitis), and OSTA, a Parliamentary Office for Evaluation of Scientific and Technological Choice. [CJF emphasis added, and apparently out of the control of the U.S. CDC/FDAwhoa!] [.] French government officials are willing to listen to the victims of adverse events after vaccination. [.] Not only is the French government willing to listen to the survivors of vaccine injury and scientists; they are willing to facilitate open debates with the press in attendance. [Something very unlikely to happen in the USA where Big Pharma is the big kahuna that dictates vaccinology science.] The afternoon round of discussions titled First Round Table: The Safety and Efficacy of Aluminum Vaccine Adjuvants ought to prove interesting and certainly contradictory to whats been known as peer reviewed science in mainstream medicine that, basically, is parroting Big Pharmas favorable information presented to get vaccines approved for licensure. In the Second Round Table in the afternoon, theres an interesting discussion planned titled Are there alternative vaccine adjuvants? That, in this writers opinion, is an even more dire topic, since there are numerous adjuvants vaccines are using, including squalene which probably is as harmful as aluminum. The reason for adjuvants in vaccines is that vaccinology can attain whats referred to as an antigen response, which they consider immunity! Nothing is further from the biological facts as current communicable infectious disease rates are proving, i.e., of those contracting infectious communicable diseases in the USA for which there are vaccines, over 90 percent have been fully vaccinated. Therefore, adjuvants do not provide 100% immunity! The Round Table debates will be open to the public and the press, which certainly is a breath of fresh air, since in the USA theres so much that goes on behind closed doors regarding vaccines. I cant wait to give readers an update on the French HPV-vaccine symposium.

2	Miley Cyrus Mocks Christians For Believing In Bible Fairy Tales Miley Cyrus is at it yet again, now making headlines for her views on traditional Christian conservatives. She specifically addresses gay marriage and the Old Testament. Pop singer Miley Cyrus recently slammed Christian conservatives for believing in fairy tales like the story of Noahs ark and argued that those who hold to a traditional definition of marriage should not be permitted to make laws within the United States. Those people [shouldnt] get to make our laws, Cyrus said of Christians who hold to a traditional view of marriage. The 22-year-old Party in the USA singer went on to slam Christians who believe Noahs Ark was a real vessel: Thats fking insane, she told the magazine. Weve outgrown that fairy tale, like weve outgrown fking Santa and the tooth fairy. The former Disney Channel star also criticized her parents political views, calling them conservative-ass motherkers. What do you think of what Cyrus had to say? Sound off in the comments below.

The victims of the school shooting were reportedly asked to stand if they were Christian. Good, youll meet your God in a second, the shooter reportedly claimed. Of course, this is not where Obamas attentions are focused. Ben Carson, on the other hand, took a stand for the victims by posting a picture standing up for his faith. He is holding up a sign with the hashtag: #IAmAChristian. Christians throughout the country are being encouraged to use the hashtag as a sign of support for those who were injured or lost their lives. 
1	A reading of Gabriel Fournier's The Eclipse Of Infinity reveals that the new science-fiction novel makes more than 80 separate references to 'quantum flux,' a vaguely defined force the author uses to advance the plot, resolve conflict as needed, and account for dozens of glaring inconsistencies. The strange force is used to explain everything from time travel to why everyone in the novel can understand aliens. 'I'm really excited about this latest bookthere's action, adventure, drama, and a little bit of something for everyone,' said Fournier, who decided to introduce the narrative device after realizing that the galactic ambassador vaporized in chapter two needed to be alive a lot longer. 'And, of course, there's something I call quantum flux, which is like the binding force behind everything in the universe. Plus, it can cause time travel. And it's an energy source, too.' In Fournier's novel, the idea that particles of energy can appear suddenly out of nowhere is used to explain events that might otherwise seem random, such as how a starship achieves light speed despite the total destruction of its engines in battle, why a loyal first officer suddenly decides to spy on behalf of the aliens who murdered his family, and what became of the security captain whose Southern accent was getting annoying to work with. 'This is a huge oversimplification, but you can think of it as The Matrix times a million,' Fournier said. 'I use quantum flux to explore crucial questions about the nature of our universe, but also to probe basic human experiences we can all relate to. In my novel, as in life, sometimes things don't quite work out the way you planned.' The book's cover depicts Quantum Flux in the vacuum of deep space, a phenomenon readers later learn can be harnessed to open wormholes or provide eternal youth. At the beginning of The Eclipse Of Infinity, a catastrophic quantum flux event on a nearby moon is threatening to destroy the planet Magnus 9. When the planet's shields suddenly become inoperable due to a quantum flux surge, the inhabitants frantically evacuate. At the end of the first chapter, the novel's protagonist, Cutter Van Dusen, clutches the hand of his dying mother, who before succumbing to quantum flux poisoning tells her son that an oracle has chosen him to travel back in time through a quantum flux rupture and save the planet by harnessing the power of a strange, mysterious force known as 'quantum flux.' Though the storytelling device provided Fournier with what seemed like an endlessly flexible narrative structure, the author acknowledged that he still suffered from writer's block on at least one occasion. 'I had written myself into a corner,' said Fournier, who recalled sitting for weeks just staring at the words 'Chapter 12: Quantum Flux' on an otherwise blank computer screen. 'Then out of nowhere, this really amazing twist came to me. I don't want to give it away, but if you've read carefully up to that point, it makes perfect sense.' According to Fournier, the rest of the novelin which, on average, quantum flux is invoked every two pages to negate the effects of earlier quantum flux incidentsjust seemed to flow from there. 'It was one of those rare moments when I was writing without any effort at all,' said Fournier, who made use of quantum flux to iron out the remaining wrinkles in his plot, finding in it an unexpected justification for why Cutter's nemesis, Mal-Dag Par, abruptly switches gender for three chapters. 'It's almost as if I were possessed by some kind of powerful unseen force or something.' Fournier told reporters that The Eclipse Of Infinity is part of a trilogy, the second book of which, Denizens Of Flux, will begin with a sudden fluxquake that ties up several of the first novel's loose ends. The author admitted he wasn't entirely sure yet how the final book in the series, A Flux Quantum, would end. 'I'm giving it a lot of thought,' said Fournier, who hinted that he has been toying with some cosmological theories that suggest different versions of his storyline could exist in multiple parallel universes.

1	Noting that the sad, pathetic little man stumbled upon the rebroadcast while absentmindedly flipping through channels Sunday evening, sources confirmed that local 28-year-old Jason Garner struggled to find a single reason not to watch a Big Ten Network airing of the famed 2006 college football game between Ohio State and the University of Michigan. Ive seen this entire game four times since I first watched it live, but right now, Im not sure I can think of anything to prevent me from sitting here and doing it again, said the utterly pitiful excuse for an adult, adding that the thrilling 42-39 game between the Buckeyes and Wolverineswhich reportedly harbors absolutely none of the suspense or significance of the original matchup from nearly eight years agohas thus far trumped every other possible thing he could be doing with his time. I know for a fact that on this play, Michigan is going to run an inside handoff for about three yards, but here I am, watching it again. I mean, Ive considered the work I have to finish up by tomorrow morning and the fact that I really need to head to the grocery store before it closes, but none of that is really enough to pull me away from this. At this point, Im about ready to just accept that this is going to be the rest of my night. Reports later confirmed that early into the first quarter, the feeble and completely hopeless Garner had reportedly convinced himself to record the rest of the game on his DVR. 
2	Chaos Ensues After Patriot Calls Obama The Antichrist [VIDEO] Recently, a video clip was released to the public that shows a conservative activist calling Obama the anti-Christ. After listening to lie after lie from the president, the man starts yelling that Obama is the anti-Christ. Obama clearly reacts to the chant, before his guards come in and stop him from further embarrassment. What do you think of the incident? Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	The Columbia Sports Journalism Review has released the results of a study initiated in mid-August to investigate whether an increase in news stories such as 'K-Rod,' 'A-Rod Playing Whiff-le Ball,' and 'Sore Throat KO's A-Rod' constituted 'ganging up' on the overpaid, underperforming, and petulant Yankees third-baseman. 'After carefully analyzing the content of all 9,463 newspaper and magazine articles criticizing Rodriguez that were printed between August 15 and September 1, we have found neither factual errors nor evidence of reportage exceeding the normal standards of sports journalism,' Columbia journalism professor John Dinges said Tuesday. 'We also spoke to the reporters who exclusively cover A-Rod's performance for the Kansas City Star, Sacramento Bee, Albuquerque Tribune, and Boston Herald, and we found no appreciable misinterpretations or statistical discrepancies in their twice-daily coverage as that preening jackass continues to shit the bed.' The CSJR study concluded by observing that all Rodriguez must do to gain the approval of the press would be to simply lead the Yankees to the World Series, be named MVP, and nail his smarmy mouth shut for good. 
3	CIA Breaks its Silence on New Silk Road: Says Challenging the BRICS and AIIB was a MistakeBy Rusticus One such show is MSNBCs Morning Joe, due in no small partto co-host Mika Brzezinskis segment that Ive come to lovingly refer to as Conversations with Daddy Zbigniew.Another long-running example, the prestigious PBS program hosted by Bilderberger and Trilateral Commission member Charlie Rose, provides unparalleled access in this regard that is, when hes not busy passing off celebrity interviews as cultured and sophisticated or even newsworthy. But when Charlies immense access (from Rockefellers to Rothschilds) is putto the test, there isno better glimpse forthe public into the world of geopolitik and its Grand Chessboard. At least, not on TV! One such conversation took placeearlier this week and has already gotten its fair share of coverage in the blogosphere an interview with former deputy director of the CIA, Mike Morell: Morell has ostensibly left the agency after 33 years of so-called service for the express intent of publicly endorsing Hillary Clinton for President, which he did by publishinga gushing ovation in The New York Times. Among his laundry list of reasons for endorsement, Morell emphatically declares that a Clinton regime would be more willing to kill Russians and kill Iranians, would be more apt to escalate war in Syria, and would doubtlessly be more likely to (as Charlie Rose puts it) arm the Mujahidden. Which of course, has never been done before in history to catastrophic ends. Ever. Morell also suggests over the course of the interview (as well as hisTimesop-ed) that Donald Trump is an unwitting Russian agent a claim that many will find ridiculous yet, nevertheless, has been somewhat substantiatedby none other than veteran 9/11 sleuth and drug trade researcher, Dan Hopsicker. And all this within the first half of the interview! We owe it all to theintimate setting of the round (oak) table, truly. The latterportion of this illuminating dialogue, unfortunately, received far less play; it was at this point that the conversation shifted from domestic politics and Middle Eastern wars of imperialism towards the rise of China. Speaking strictly for himself, the former DD/CIA offeredhis opinions on potential conflict with China and perhaps more importantly,the shared interests of a rising China and the Anglo-American Establishment in a multilateral World Order. But hey, you know what they say about quitting the Agency: You never really do. The most important bilateral relationship for the future of Eastasia, for the future of the world, is the relationship between Washington and Beijing. Thats a strong statement, but I believe it to be true. Mike Morell on Charlie Rose This author has long documented the merging (and in part, managed destruction) of the old unipolar Order of the West in favor ofthe new multipolar Order of the East; a thesis not built upon some personal stroke of brilliance or super-secret insider information, but rather theruminations ofGlobalist organizations themselves on these matters, which are openly released to the public in the form ofpolicy papers. The list of institutions proclaiming a desire for an Eastern-led economic and geopolitical multipolar New World Order is staggering, and the names on that list shouldnot be strangers to even the casual Deep Political researcher: The CIA, too, now count themselves among these ranks, after distinctlymissingthe multipolar memo last yearwhen the Obama administration vocally opposed the UKs early entry into the AIIB. Not to be caught playing second-fiddle in the Special Relationship, Morell took the opportunity on histell-a-visionappearance to bring his (and by some measure of extension, the Agencys) views in line with thoseexpressed by Chatham House in its latest policy paper on international economic governancewhen he said: We will give China more room to exercise influence if they play by the rules of the International Order. What does that mean? It means that, for example, I think it was a mistake for the United States of America to push back when China wanted to create a regional development bank. The Brits broke rank with us immediately. So you dont push back on stuff like that where theyre actually trying to play by the rules. -Mike Morell on Charlie Rose So according to theDeputy Director of the CIA itself, the Eastern development bank(s)are not a threat to the International Order.On the contrary, theyare Chinas outward attempt to play by the rules, as Mr. Morell puts it, and are rapidly integrating themselves intoveteran institutions of the rules based international order like the IMF and World Bank. Comparing Morells above statement with the policy prescriptions of Chatham House, one can clearly seea concerted effort that spans multiple institutions towardspavingthe way for an Eastern-centric World Order: From Chatham House publication, International Economic Governance: Last Chance for the G20? Bear in mind that the most widely publicized infrastructure project of the BRICS and AIIB is the New Silk Road (or One Belt, One Road project as its called in China) a planned trade and travel land route spanning vast swaths of the Eurasian rimland. Theres a specific reason Western intelligence agencies would be keen on giving their blessing to such a New Silk Road, but well come to that soon enough. It wasnt long ago that theCharlie Rose program broadcast an interview with another consummate insider, Henry Kissinger, discussing the place of China in a New World Order (Mr. Kissingers words). Elaborating on this point later, Kissinger lamented that while China valued the superiority and uniqueness of their culture, he thought it hard to imagine Chinese armies invading somewhere to make Chinese culture, Chinese governing principles. That is not a Chinese way of thinking. Its hard for me to imagine a Chinese military strategy backed up by a Chinese world government, even in the name of universal peace, he notedin a lecture to the Center for Strategic International Studies. In Mike Morells recentCharlie Roseappearance, though, the former CIA agent seems to refute Kissingers notion of Chinas cultural and historic lack of overt imperialism; as Morell states in no uncertain terms, the use of military force to protect overlapping national security interests is actively being marketed to the Chinese government, and not without success: Morell: I base this on my own conversations with Chinese officials, my counterparts in China. I believe that there are a growing number of places in the world where our national security interests overlap than where they are in conflict. I believe theres potential for us to cooperate and work together. Rose: Do the Chinese believe that and do they want to do that? Morell: Yes. Yes, I think they believe it and theyre increasingly coming to understand that it is in their best interest. On these two fronts, the economic expansion of the twin Asian development banks as well as jointnational security (read: Empire-building) interests, American Intelligence sees room for cooperation. Morell was, however, quick to clarify: Chinese expansion into the South China Sea isnot a shared national security interest, but a point of tension, particularly as the Anglo-American Establishment has set forth in its Island Chain policy of Chinese containment (for more on this topic, listen tothis Council on Foreign Relationspodcast). While Chinas blue-water expansion is disallowed in the eyes of Morell and the CIA, there is far more room for overlapping national security interests on land particularly on such a lengthy route as the one proposed by the New Silk Road. And perhaps not coincidentally, the One Belt, One Road projectjust so happens to be situated along a region long consideredthe linchpin for global dominance: The Eurasian Heartland. Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland; -Sir John Mackinder, Democratic Ideals and Reality While the term Heartland was coined by John Mackinder during the original Great Game between Czarist Russia and the British Empire during the 19th Century, it is generally understood today to describeEastern Europe, Russia, and the Central-Asian Caucus states. The British Empire of antiquity postulated that direct control and invasion of the Heartland was the key to victory; modern schemers for the cause of World Federalism like Zbigniew Brzezinski, however, hold thatthe encirclement of the Heartland is the true path to world domination. Brzezinski refined Mackinders original Heartland idea in his 1997 book, The Grand Chessboard, referring to the region as the Eurasian Balkans: The Eurasian Balkans, astride the inevitably emerging transportation network meant to link more directly Eurasias richest and most industrious western and eastern extremities, are also geopolitically significant. Moreover, they are of importance from the standpoint of security and historical ambitions to at least three of their most immediate and more powerful neighbors, namely, Russia, Turkey, and Iran, with China also signaling an increasing political interest in the region. But the Eurasian Balkans are infinitely more important as a potential economic prize: an enormous concentration of natural gas and oil reserves is located in the region, in addition to important minerals, including gold. -Zbigniew Brzezinski, The Grand Chessboard With nearly twenty years of retrospection, its clear to see that the inevitably emerging transportation network designed to link the most industrious western and eastern extremities has indeed begun development in the form of the New Silk Road. And where, exactly, is thisOne Belt, One Road to occupy?The Eurasian Balkans. This is a map of the Eurasian Heartland as originally conceived by John Mackinder: and here is a map of the proposed New Silk Road land route: Quite literally Heartland Encirclement by another means as the (not so) Great Game continues unabated. While its yet to be seen whether or not Chinese expansion into the Central-Asian Caucasus will coincide with Anglo-American aspirations of global governance, Mike Morell and his Chinese counterparts in intelligence are right about one thing: The New Silk Road isripefor shared national security interests between West and East. Isolation of Russia. Vast gold reserves. Key natural gas and oil transit lines. Sustainable Development (Agenda 21) infrastructure. The resurgence of Golden Triangle opium. Can the old World Order ruling caste sell the new kids on the trading block on shared interests in one or more of these areas? Can a long-dead imperial fervor within Southeast Asias majority Han population be revived, as it was in the Han Dynasty of olde, forthe aim of expanding Globalism?

3	Clutching at Straws: The Latest Solution to Contaminated Groundwater From FukushimaChris Carrington Everyday TEPCO pumps tons of water into the damaged reactors to stop them from overheating. This water becomes radioactive, then seeps into the ground to contaminate the groundwater, which finds its way into the ocean. They think they know how to stop the contamination, even though most scientists are skeptical. They intend to do it by drilling a series of wells around number2 and 3 reactors. A coolant will be pumped into the wells, freezing the soil solid and thus preventing the groundwater escaping well thats the theory at least. The fix is set to cost $320 million to construct and then the running costs on top of that. This technique is used in civil engineering projects, such as building subway tunnels and the like, and it works, temporarily, but there is no way of knowing how long it will work for. (source) What happens if theres another earthquake? What if the power to the pumps is interrupted, or the coolant supply runs out? None of these issues has, as yet, been mentioned. The same issues arise with the more permanent concrete barriers that some scientists are proposing. If they are bottomless, the water will just sink into the soil and will still eventuallyend up in the ocean. If they have a bottom, they will fill up, just like a kiddie pool but on a far vaster scale. The relative irrelevancyof economics, government spying et al comes into very plain sight when you look at what is happening at Fukushima. Yes these other issues are important, but the continuance of the human race is at stake here. This is why governments will not admit that radiation, and radioactive water from Fukushima is a problemit is too big a problem for them to deal with. We are talking about a situation that will be ongoing for decades. Marine life, which a huge proportion of the global population relies on as a source of protein, cannot sustain this kind of punishment on an ongoing basis. The very air that we breathe is contaminated and will, over time, become more so, giving rise to increased miscarriages and cancers. As the soil becomes more contaminated so will the meat we eat from the cattle that has grazed on it. The plants that we rely upon to feed us will either not grow at all, or they will be contaminated. Apart from containing this contaminated water in caskets and burying it for God knows how long, all these fixes will amount to nought. Even if common sense did prevail, where in hell could you bury that amount of radioactive waste? Ask the United Nations to evict citizens of some far flung nation so a giant nuclear dump can be created maybe? It may sound far fetched, but the Japanese government and TEPCO are rapidly running out of fixes. The international community is, on the surface at least denying there is a problem, purely because at this point they have no solution. Unless something happens soon it wouldnt be incorrect to say that the end of the world as we know it happened on March 11th 2011.

1	TNT basketball analyst Charles Barkley took time during last night's broadcast of Inside The NBA to lash out at the National Basketball Association's Hall of Fame selection committee for choosing to induct former Suns forward Charles Barkley. 'He only averaged 22 points, 11 rebounds, and four assists for his career,' Barkley said, shocking co-hosts Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith. 'Anyone can do that. Hell, even I could do that.' Barkley also noted that Barkley moved around to several teams, retired long after he should have, and is 'most likely only getting inducted because of his personality.' 'I like a funny guy,' Barkley said, 'but I don't want to be a part of a league where somebody gets into the Hall of Fame just because he can crack a joke.' Inductee Charles Barkley refused to address Charles Barkley's remarks, saying only that Barkley should focus more on the facts rather than blatant editorializing. 
2	Plane Explodes Right After Take Off [VIDEO] Go ahead, Obama, call Islam a religion of peace just one more time. Well be sitting here, watching the devastating effects that the extremist religion is having all over the world. Yesterday, for instance, the Somali-owned Daallo Airlines had a plane rupture in the cabin just five minutes after takeoff. The flight was headed to Dijbouti in East Africa from Somalia. Keep in mind that the airline has a history of terrorist activity, and tensions are at an all time high. In 2009, the airline faced a hijack attempt and another man was once arrested for trying to board a plane with explosive chemicals in a syringe. Now get this: the liberal media is insisting that the explosion is unexplained. Lets dive in a bit further. Reports indicate that the flight landed after an explosion tore a gaping hole in the Airbus A321 jet. Two passengers were injured, and local eyewitnesses say that a severely burnt body was also seen falling from the sky. This report is immediately suspicious. First and foremost, fuel is not located on the inside of the plane. If you examine the plane in question carefully, you can see burn marks on the fuselage. Couple that with the unaccounted body and its easy to conclude that a terrorist who attempted to ignite the fuel in the wings ended up burning himself in the process. Fortunately, the plane and all of its passengers survivedso any plan that an extremist might have had was unsuccessful. International news sources are calling the incident a botched terror attack. Now, a new video has been released with the pilot saying, It was a bomb. This appears clear as day to us. What do you think?

3	Obama, Let Them Eat Food StampsWendy McElroy My ancestors are among the 50% of Irish immigrants who did not die in journeying to the 19th centurys brave new world. Immigrants knew the risk and accepted it because they hungered for their children to stand on both feet as the equal of any man. For most of my life, I did. Or it was close enough. The immigrant dream ends The Obama administration is busy completing what has been a slow erosion of the classless society in America. History is prelude. It tells us that, when the classless society is dead, it is replaced by class warfare. To a massive extent, the replacement is already in play. Some aspects of the increasing class warfare are quintessentially American and contemporary: minorities v. whites, women v. men, gays v. the non-approving. But the two oldest forms still lead the way and they fuel all the other warfares: the rich v. the poor, the legally privileged v. the productive. Resentment of what is called the 1% has grown into a blind anger directed at anyone who is rich. No distinction is being made between two fundamentally different categories of 1%ers: those who acquired wealth through economic excellence (free market competition); and, those who acquired wealth through state privilege. It is a key distinction in at least three ways. The productive rich: The state-fed rich: Resentment of the rich in America is now between simmer and the boiling point. Alas, revolutions and warfare rarely pause long enough to draw such fine distinctions between rich people. And, so, it is in the interest of the state-fed rich to preemptively ensure that people believe it is the productive 1% who are a problem; the state-fed 1% are the solution, and on their side. The rush is on among the state-fed to ensure that public rage flows toward the productive, not toward them. The state is conducting a full-court press to demonize and punish the productive. Rather than lower taxes, the state points to the wealthy who secure their assets from theft through foreign investments or by conducting business abroad; theyre stealing your tax-money and jobs!, it tells Americans. Instead of saluting the private sector as an engine of production and employment, the state introduces knee-buckling regulations like Obamacare; theyre the reason you dont have equal pay, full time employment, health care and pensions!, the state exclaims to voters. We are the voice of the oppressed, Obama proclaims. Meanwhile he slips billions to banks and to Wall Street. More billions are handed to privileged industries, like green power. The privileged industries are the solution even when the funds vanish and the companies are exposed as miserable failures. What is it they solve? They solve the free market and the choices of a free people. They cure freedom itself, because freedom is the deadliest enemy of the state and the state-fed. If only the people could be made to believe it was their enemy as well Like Lenins Rolls Royce Where does America fall between simmer and boil? An indication that class warfare is on the brink or over the edge is when leaders no longer bother to hide the discrepancy between their majestic lifestyle and that of those who go without to provide it. Obama has been called the food stamp President. From the time Obama assumed office in January 2009 through October 2012, the number of people on food stamps spiked from 31.9 million to 47.5 million, according to data from the US Department of Agriculture. Approximately 1 in 7 Americans and 1 in 4 children participated. The programs cost doubled in four years, from $30 billion to $72 billion. The number of enrollees has continued to increase dramatically. Some of the growth is politically-motivated. For example, Democrats have aggressively expanded dependency because the dependent are more likely to cast sympathetic votes. But much of the growth is because America is getting hungry in the most literal sense of the word. Meanwhile, the spending of tax-money by the Obama family is so extravagant that it cannot be hidden. The Independent Journal Review (Feb. 11, 2014) ran the headline Whoah! Obamas Opulent State Dinners Cost Taxpayers About Half A Million Dollars Each. Can Obama pull off the pretense of championing the oppressed while living a Louis XIV lifestyle? This is a key aspect of convincing the public that the productive 1% and not the parasitical class are the problem. There is historical precedent for believing he might pull it off. Vladimir Lenin led the Bolshevik Revolution to create a classless state; any history book will tell you that. But did he? In the same year the Soviet Union was formed (1922), Lenin treated himself to a Rolls Royce the rich mans car. His first Rolls was the top-of-the-line Silver Ghost, which he purchased for 1,850 pounds. That amount is currently equivalent to 85,530 pounds or $142,835 US (at a conversion rate of 1.67). The purchase was made during the Russian famine of 1921 which lasted through 1922 and killed an estimated 6 million people. And, yet, history keeps a straight face in calling him a man of the people. Or, perhaps, Obama and the state-fed 1% no longer feel a need to convince the public. Perhaps they have become that comfortable in their power. Conclusion The poor in America have always resented the rich; after all, Americans are human beings, and that is a human response. It is akin to a physically plain person envying someone who is naturally beautiful. But the similarity ends (or did end) there because the poor used to know that they or their children could rise through merit and hard work. And, so, resentment of the rich was tempered and usually expressed in relatively innocuous ways like gossip or slander. But when the poor are robbed of opportunity, the resentment turns malignant. When the poor see their children go hungry while rich ones dine with silver off porcelain, the resentment boils. Sometimes it erupts through laws against the productive 1%, which become the legal equivalent of confiscation. Sometimes it erupts against the state, which is insurrection and revolution. The state vastly prefers the former. Expect productivity and merited success to be painted as theft and corruption. Expect the sleight-of-hand to become a sleight-of-fist.

2	BREAKING: Obama Administration Caught Trying To Cover Up Massive Murder Of American Soldiers According to recent reports, the killer in the Kabul massacre, an incident responsible for the death of several American military advisors in Afghanistan was paid off as part of a major Pentagon cover-up. In April of 2011, eight United States Air Force personnel and one civilian contractor were at headquarters at the Kabul airport. The group was reportedly investigating Afghan military corruption when they were viciously gunned down by Afghan Air Force Col. Ahmad Gul. Investigations looking into the tragic incident could not find any clear motive for the shooting. What remained the large mystery was how armed American military personnel were killed without any signs of having defended themselves, in a room full of 14 other Afghans. Reports indicate that the investigators on the case never even bothered to question the 14 Afghans who were present and not injured. Ultimately, the Pentagon concluded that the killings were a result of cultural incompatibility. What they failed to report was that the Afghans were supposed to be allied with the Americans at the time. So its no surprise that the Pentagon statement claimed that the Taliban was not involved in the incident. The Taliban told a different story, immediately taking credit for the deaths. And it was later uncovered that Gul had been following the teachings of the Taliban since the 1990s. Some experts believe that the incident was a result to President Obamas announcement that Americans were planning to be out of Afghanistan by 2014. Suspicions regarding the deaths are still strong, especially since it was recently revealed that Col. Gul received a deposit in his bank account in the amount of $250,000 following his killing spree. One Air Force Col. named Sally Stenton is speaking out about the incident, claiming that the Pentagon investigators looking into the case were either completely inept or they were complete, bald-faced liars. What do you think of the incident? 
3	US Helping ISIS? One Accidental Airdrop vs Billions in Covert AidTony Cartalucci While the US claims it has accidentally allowed weapons to fall into the hands of ISIS terrorists, in reality, the US has been arming, funding, and aiding ISIS and its terrorist affiliates either directly or through Saudi, Qatari, Jordanian, or Turkish proxies since at least 2011. ISIS Didnt Happen Overnight Far from springing from the dunes of northern Iraq or eastern Syria, the rise of ISIS is the verbatim fulfillment of long-established documented US conspiracy. It is perhaps best summarized by the prophetic 2007 report The Redirection: Is the Administrations new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism? written by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh and published inthe New Yorker. It 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. What is ISIS if not an extremist group that espouses a militant vision of Islam and is sympathetic to Al Qaeda? And surely ISIS is undermining both Iran and Syria, and for that matter Hezbollah in Lebanon and Irans allies in Iraq as well. The rise of extremist groups in the wake of the US-engineered Arab Spring is the story of how these clandestine operations reported on by Hersh reached their pinnacle in the creation of ISIS. The US State Department through its global network of foreign subversion funded and directed by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and a myriad of faux-NGOs, triggered a coordinated uprising across the Middle East. Protesters served as a smoke screen behind which heavily armed militants began campaigns of violence against the security forces of the respective nations targeted for destabilization. Violence in Egypt went largely unreported because of the speed of which the government collapsed and confrontations ceased. However, in nations like Libya and Syria where governments remained resolute, the violence continued to escalate. While the United States attempted to feign ignorance, surprise, and even displeasure with the Arab Spring, it would soon openly align itself with each and every opposition group across the Middle East. In Libya, US Senator John McCains visit to Benghazi, Libya would be the political manifestation of military, financial, and diplomatic aid being rendered to militants fighting against the government of Muammar Qaddafi. These fighters, it would turn out, were not pro-democracy rebels, but rather seasoned militants of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), an official Al Qaeda franchise in North Africa. One of their leaders,Abdelhakim Belhadj would eventually find himself in power in Tripoli after the collapse of the Libyan government, and have his photograph taken with Senator McCain. After the fall of Libya, Al Qaeda and its affiliates would take their fighters and their NATO-supplied weapons and travel to fight in Syria. They would enter the country through NATO-member Turkey. While the US has repeatedly referred to the militants fighting the government and people of Syria as moderates, the vast majority of these fighters are sectarian extremists, many of whom are not even Syrian. And while the United States and its allies attempt to claim the rise of ISIS is recent, the many terrorist organizations it is a consolidation of where involved in Syrias fighting since it began in 2011. The US State Department itself would admit that Al Qaedas Syrian franchise, Jabhat al-Nusra (an offshoot of ISIS), was among the most prominent armed militant groups fighting the Syrian government, beginning in 2011 onward. The US State Departments official press statement titled, Terrorist Designations of the al-Nusrah Front as an Alias for al-Qaida in Iraq, stated explicitly that: 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. Billions in Weapons, Cash, and Equipment It is clear that Al Qaeda was virtually handed the nation of Libya by NATO intentionally. It is also clear that Al Qaeda was quickly mobilized to then push into Syria and repeat NATOs success, this time by toppling Damascus. The plan as it was imagined was to topple Damascus quickly enough so that the general public never found out who was truly fighting in the ranks of Americas proxy forces. This, because of the Syrian peoples resolution, didnt happen. From 2011 onward, the United States and its allies both European and regionally, would supply terrorists fighting the government of Syria billions in cash, weapons, equipment, and even vehicles. Story after story in the Western press admitted this, but always with the caveat that the aid was going to so-called moderates. For three years these moderates received the combined aid from the United States, United Kingdom, members of the European Union, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Jordan. In the Telegraphs 2013 article titled, US and Europe in major airlift of arms to Syrian rebels through Zagreb, it is reported: 3,000 tons of weapons dating back to the former Yugoslavia have been sent in 75 planeloads from Zagreb airport to the rebels, largely via Jordan since November. The shipments were allegedly paid for by Saudi Arabia at the bidding of the United States, with assistance on supplying the weapons organised through Turkey and Jordan, Syrias neighbours. But the report added that as well as from Croatia, weapons came from several other European countries including Britain, without specifying if they were British-supplied or British-procured arms. British military advisers however are known to be operating in countries bordering Syria alongside French and Americans, offering training to rebel leaders and former Syrian army officers. The Americans are also believed to be providing training on securing chemical weapons sites inside Syria. Additionally, The New York Times in its article, Arms Airlift to Syria Rebels Expands, With C.I.A. Aid, admits that: With help from the C.I.A., Arab governments and Turkey have sharply increased their military aid to Syrias opposition fighters in recent months, expanding a secret airlift of arms and equipment for the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad, according to air traffic data, interviews with officials in several countries and the accounts of rebel commanders. The airlift, which began on a small scale in early 2012 and continued intermittently through last fall, expanded into a steady and much heavier flow late last year, the data shows. It has grown to include more than 160 military cargo flights by Jordanian, Saudi and Qatari military-style cargo planes landing at Esenboga Airport near Ankara, and, to a lesser degree, at other Turkish and Jordanian airports. The US State Department had also announced it was sending hundreds of millions of dollars more in aid, equipment and even armored vehicles to militants operating in Syria, along with demands of its allies to match the funding to reach a goal of over a billion dollars. The NYT would report in their article, Kerry Says U.S. Will Double Aid to Rebels in Syria, that: With the pledge of fresh aid, the total amount of nonlethal assistance from the United States to the coalition and civic groups inside the country is $250 million. During the meeting here, Mr. Kerry urged other nations to step up their assistance, with the objective of providing $1 billion in international aid. The US has also admitted that it was officially arming and equipping terrorists inside of Syria. The Washington Posts article, U.S. weapons reaching Syrian rebels, reported: The CIA has begun delivering weapons to rebels in Syria, ending months of delay in lethal aid that had been promised by the Obama administration, according to U.S. officials and Syrian figures. The shipments began streaming into the country over the past two weeks, along with separate deliveries by the State Department of vehicles and other gear a flow of material that marks a major escalation of the U.S. role in Syrias civil war. Recently, when the US State Department resumed sending non-lethal aid to Syrian rebels, the delivery list included 43 Toyota trucks. Hiluxes were on the Free Syrian Armys wish list. Oubai Shahbander, a Washington-based advisor to the Syrian National Coalition, is a fan of the truck. The question is, if billions in Saudi, Qatari, Jordanian, Turkish, British and American aid has been sent to moderates, who has been funding, arming, and equipping ISIS even more? Americas Narrative Beggars Belief So many resources does ISIS have at its disposal, that it is not only supposedly able to displace the so-called moderates in Syria, but has the ability to simultaneously fight the combined military might of Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq not to mention threaten the national security of Russia and China and so we are meant to believe carry out a global campaign of terror against Western targets from Canada and the United States, across Europe, and all the way to far-flung Australia. It is a narrative that beggars belief. The simplest explanation of course, is that there never were any moderates, and that the United States and its allies, precisely as renowned journalist Seymour Hersh warned in 2007, went about raising a regional army of sectarian terrorists to fight an unprecedented proxy war with the predictable outcome being an orgy of genocide and atrocities also as warned by Hersh in his prophetic article. In fact, Hershs report would also state: Robert Baer, a former longtime C.I.A. agent in Lebanon, has been a severe critic of Hezbollah and has warned of its links to Iranian-sponsored terrorism. But now, he told me, weve got Sunni Arabs preparing for cataclysmic conflict, and we will need somebody to protect the Christians in Lebanon. It used to be the French and the United States who would do it, and now its going to be Nasrallah and the Shiites. What if not acataclysmic conflict, could ISIS current regional campaign be described as? And hasnt it been Lebanese, Syrian, Iranian, and Iraqi Shiaa, along with many secular and enlightened Sunnis, who have come to the aid of those targeted by ISIS? The evidence is overwhelming. When considering US support for terrorists and extremists in places like Afghanistan in the 1980s or even as recently as today with US support ofMujahideen-e Khalq (MEK), it would be difficult to believe the US was not involved in raising and directing a proxy army against multiple regimes it openly seeks to supplant. Ultimately, whether one pallet drifted into ISIS hands by accident in a recent airdrop is a moot point. Billions in cash, weapons, equipment, and vehicles have already been intentionally supplied to the many groups that ISIS represents, as planned as early as 2007. ISIS is the purposeful creation of the United States in its pursuit of regional hegemony in the Middle East, and ISIS atrocities were predicted long before the first shots were fired in 2011 in the Syrian conflict, long before the term Islamic State went mainstream.

1	Throughout his life, 22-year-old Matthew Leske has been a devout Christian, attending services three times a week at Holy Christ Almighty Lutheran Church in his hometown of Paducah, regularly participating in Bible-study devotionals with his mother and four sisters, and faithfully adhering to the dictums of his strict fundamentalist Christian upbringing. Though his wedding date has yet to be set, fundamentalist Christian Matthew Leske is so eager to ejaculate that he has already purchased his tuxedo and is waiting patiently at the church. Throughout his post-pubescent life, Leske has also, like all male humans, been gripped by an intense, all-consuming desire to ejaculate sperm, but has been unable to do so out of fear of incurring the wrath of God and suffering an eternity of agonizing punishment in the afterlife. A part-time prep-cook and odd-job yardwork handyman when not volunteering as a Bible witness to local shut-ins and nursing-home residents, the young Leske has never had much time for socializing with members of the opposite sex. Nevertheless, last week, Leske announced his intention to marry fellow Christian Luann Ruth Perkins, also a member of Holy Christ Almighty, whom he met on a church-sponsored Luther League hayride two months ago. Leske cited his irresistible desire to achieve sexual climax and ejaculate sperm without having to go to hell as the number one factor in his decision to propose marriage. 'I really want to discharge semen,' he said. 'I mean I really, really, really want to really bad.' Living his 22 years inviolate under strict fundamentalist doctrine, Leske has never ejaculated, for to do so outside the holy bonds of sacramental matrimony would mean non-negotiable, eternal punishment upon death. 'I don't want to go to hell,' said Leske, explaining his decision not to engage in premarital ejaculation. 'I am absolutely terrified of the burning and scorching of my impure, unclean flesh in the Lake of Fire; the prodding and stabbing by pitchforks wielded by demons; and, in particular, the unending, eternal torment in pits of boiling pitch as Satan the Deceiver laughs in sadistic glee.' Burning with a desire to ejaculate so overwhelming that it has threatened to dwarf even his love for Christ, Leske has, ever since puberty, researched the subject at length, discovering 'five score and seventeen' different methods by which males can achieve ejaculation. Unfortunately, Leske said, not one of them is permissible under fundamentalist-Christian law. 'Homosexuality, masturbation, oral-genital contact, frottage, shoe fetishes, barnyard animals, leaning up against a washing machine on spin cycleI could go on and on,' Leske said. 'I would have gladly tried any one of these, because, like I said, I really, really want to ejaculate. Regrettably, though, they are all punishable by eternal torment in the demon pits, so it was pretty much either get married or give up on ejaculating completely.' While Leske is greatly looking forward to marriage and the sweet release of sperm it will bring, he noted that even in holy wedlock, fundamentalist Christian doctrine limits permissible ejaculation to just one circumstance: sexual congress for the purpose of procreation. 'I'm going to want to start a family pretty much immediately,' he said. 'If I can get a raise and a second job, I figure I might be able to eventually support a family of as many as six or seven offspring. That means I should hopefully get to ejaculate seven times before I die. I know, you're thinking, 'That's not much.' But believe me, it will sure beat the heck out of what I'm doing now, which is not ejaculating at all.' Leske does admit to harboring some doubts about his upcoming nuptials. 'What if Luann, never having seen a naked man before, is so frightened that she refuses to allow me to ejaculate?' he said. 'Divorce would be out of the question, and I'd be trapped forever in a non-ejaculatory marriage. It will probably work out okay, though: Once she becomes my wife, I should be able to command her to do whatever I say, and, even if it's against her wishes, it will be her Christian duty to obey me.' No date has been set for the wedding, but Leske said he would like it to take place 'as soon as humanly possible.' 'I have opened my heart and mind to Jesus Christ, the Son of God the Father, my Lord and Savior in Heaven, who died on the cross for my sins, that I might be born again in His blood. And I yearn for the righteous power of the Holy Spirit to fill me with holy inspiration. But I also yearndesperately yearn, yearn with indescribable longing, I mean really, really yearnto ejaculate. If it were up to me I would prefer to ejaculate right now. This minute. No lie.' 
2	National Shock After THIS Country Music Star Comes Out As Gay And Has Had A LongCountry music star Ty Herndon shocked fans when he recently admitted that he has been in a relationship with a man for five years. Herndon, who has been married twice, claims that he got married to women to protect his career in the country music industry. Herndon claims that he is haunted by the law he told himself, that he couldnt be gay and be in country music. Ive dreamed about being in country music since I was six years old and its my life, its what I do, its who I am and I went to great lengths to cover up that fact to be a country star, he told reporters. Today I get to tell the world I am an out, proud, and happy gay man. I have an awesome relationship that Ive been in for a good number of years. I love him very much and he loves him. Herndon adds that his deception did not include his former wives who absolutely knew about his sexuality. In fact, several people close to Herndon knew the truth about his personal lifea fact that often led them to call in for favors. What do you think of Herndons confession? Will his country music career survive this? 
1	Alan Gilchrist, an associate professor of English literature at the University of Arkansas infamous for his tough grading standards and dry lecturing style, was coerced into sleeping with an undergraduate on Monday in order to earn a good course evaluation. 'My tenure's on the line here, so I allowed a student to take advantage of me,' said an emotional Gilchrist of the experience, which he hopes will earn him at least six 'very much enjoyed' responses on the eight-item evaluation form. 'I told myself it would be just this once, and that it would be over soon, and that it wouldn't be that bad, but I was used. And I can't stop showering.' Sources said that the unidentified student is one of the most popular and charismatic on campus, raising questions about possible abuse of power. 
3	Military Source: Troops On The Ground In Syria Absolutely Crucial To Defeat ISISBrandon Turbeville While the desire to strike Syria has publicly manifested itself on a number of occasions, Obama stated in his speech on September 10 that he reserves the right to direct airstrikes against Syria if he deems it necessary. Although Obama also stated that the United States would not be committing ground troops, it should be remembered that Obama made the same claims about his policy in Iraq, a country that has seen 1,200 American troops re-deployed on its soil. Thus, it comes as no surprise when rumblings of troop deployments to Syria begin to trickle out in the mainstream media, even in the form of comments from anonymous sources in the U.S. military. For instance, a senior Air Force Commander recently told USA TODAY that U.S. boots will indeed be needed on the ground inside Syria to combat the Western-backed death squads. The commander stated that it is absolutely crucial that pilots are talking to an American on the ground who can provide on the ground assistance with identification of the targets. This statement comes after a Washington Post report suggesting that Obama and the White House vetoed a plan by top military commanders to send a modest contingent of American troops principally Special Operations forces, to advise and assist Iraqi army units in fighting the militants, according to two U.S. military officials. Thus, one may be forced to wonder whether or not the statement made to USA TODAY by the anonymous military source is foreshadowing or whether it is actually a reaction to Obamas reluctance to commit even more military troops to Iraq and/or Syria. Obamas alleged reluctance, of course, should not be taken as any real moral convictions but out of concern for his own narcissistic self-image. Regardless, the commanders statement comes shortly after the release of a CIA report claiming that ISIS is able to produce anywhere from 20,000 to 30,000 fighters, a fact that has been known by many researchers in for well over a year. Of course, the CIA should know very well how many fighters belong to ISIS, since the CIA itself is one of the main organizers, trainers, and directors of the death squad operatives to begin with. In addition, Western media outlets are reporting that the United States military no longer sees Syrias air defense capabilities as a significant threat to a bombing campaign since the death squads were able to remove those defenses nearly a week ago. This sudden military maneuver by IS goes some length in exposing the true nature of the terrorist organization and the levels to which it is nothing more than a proxy army for Western powers. Still, Syria has condemned any plan to engage in military airstrikes on its soil as a blatant act of aggression. The Syrian National Reconciliation Minister, Ali Haidar, stated that Any action of any kind without the consent of the Syrian government would be an attack on Syria. Haidars statements were echoed by both Tehran and Moscow. Russia stated shortly after the plan was announced that The US president has spoken directly about the possibility of strikes by the US armed forces against Isil positions in Syria without the consent of the legitimate government. This step, in the absence of a UN security council decision, would be an act of aggression, a gross violation of international law. Although more of a tepid response, China has also stated that, while the world should fight terror, national sovereignty should be respected. Regardless of whether or not boots on the ground will be deployed in Syria, the fact is the presence of ISIS is nothing more than a large-scale false flag of terror designed to justify an American invasion of a secular and sovereign nation. Thus, the response from the American people should not only be a rejection of boots on the ground but a rejection of any American involvement in Syrian affairs. ISIS can be defeated as soon as the West stops supporting it. Recently from Brandon Turbeville: Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

2	Welfare Mooch Throws Tantrum And Makes Unthinkable Demands [VIDEO] Every once in a while a video clip pops up that illustrates exactly what is wrong with America. Such was the case with new viral footage showing a black woman having a temper tantrum when she tried to get change with her welfare card. Providing cash or change to a welfare card holder is against the law, but that doesnt stop the entitled woman from attacking the cashier. She can be heard threatening that she will shut this b**ch down. What do you think of the incident? Watch the video below and tell us your thoughts. 
1	Jordan Farmer, 22, boyfriend of Mindy Hodges, 20, is significantly nicer before sex, Hodges reported Monday. 'Before we have sex, he's always really sweet to me, and he, like, tells me my hair looks nice and stuff. And if I'm upset about something, he listens and tells me that he loves me and that everything's going to be all right,' Hodges said. 'But then, afterwards, he stops listening to me, and he screams at me and says he's going to break up with me if I don't stop being so clingy and annoying.' Hodges has vowed to make an effort to be less clingy and annoying. 
1	For reasons too difficult to comprehend, the unnecessarily fretful and anxious nation of United States continues its odd obsession with the various processes by which raw ingredients are transformed into food fit for human consumption. 'I simply cannot understand this bizarre fascination with how food comes to be,' Yu Wan Mei Amalgamated Salvage Fisheries CEO Zuo Xiabing, foremost innovator of the fish by-product business paradigm, told reporters. 'What could be interesting about the way ingestible materials that are not originally tube-shaped are made to be tube-shaped? It's food! Enjoy!' Zuo, who is correct, said the fact that there are American agencies devoted entirely to fixating on the proper dehydration, pasteurization, and freeze-drying of imported foods such as fish by-products indicates an unhealthy culture-wide obsession. 'Food makes you strong,' Zuo said. 'Stop worrying. Just chew and swallow. You will be fine.' 'Eat, eat, eat,' Zuo continued with an assuring smile. 'It is good. Eat.' One can reportedly see where Zuo is coming from, especially because his imported fish products are made in the best, cleanest manufacturing facilities and continue to rise in both profit and quality. 'Remember,' Zuo added, 'Fish Time is Success Time.' 
3	Obama DOJ to Target Root Causes of Violent ExtremismJames F. Tracy Holder told Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer that the United States entered a new phase in the war on terror some time ago that specifically concerns homegrown terrorism. The decimation of Al Qaeda has probably reduced or eliminated the ability of Al Qaeda [sic] to do the kind of thing they did on September the 11th. On the other hand, Al Qaeda affiliates in the Arabian Peninsula has [sic] moved to what they do to smaller kinds of attacks. They have inspired people around the world to these really small attacks that involve only one or two peoplea small number of arms that can have a devastating impact, as we have seen in France. Holder continues to state that the possibility for such attacks to occur in the US remains a distinct possibility. It is something that we worry about all the time. It is something that we meet about all the time. Its something that, frankly, keeps me up at night-worrying about a lone wolf or a group of peoplea very small group of peoplewho decide to decide to get arms on their own and do what we saw in France this week. Evidence suggests that Holder was a major force behind the Sandy Hook Elementary School media event. In November 2014 tens of thousands of documents turned over by Holders Justice Department to the House Oversight Committeerevealed the Attorney Generals calculating politicization of federal law enforcement. And, as journalist Trevor Aaronson has documented, since 2001 the greatest sources of US domestic terrorism is the DOJs very own Federal Bureau of Investigation.

1	Cheers filled the streets and American flags waved triumphantly through the air today as the nation turned out in full force to celebrate an entire week having passed since the last time a madman opened fire on innocent civilians in some kind of fatal mass shooting. We did it, folks! We banded together and managed to go seven whole days without killing our fellow Americans in a senseless murdering spree! Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano said in a speech to jubilant throngs gathered in Times Square. Yes, some people were shot this week, but not in a random, highly public, viscerally disturbing way andmost importantlynot all in one place, by one psychopath. Maybe one day we can live in a society where abominable large-scale gun violence stays out of the national headlines for a whole month even! At press time, federal authorities had issued a reminder to all Americans that a lot can happen in 24 hours, so lets not get too excited yet. UPDATE: Federal officials have reportedly just informed celebrating Americans that a mass shooting did in fact just happen in front of the Empire State Building, and that citizens should stop chanting and cheering now. Oh, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano said, looking at what appeared to be a news alert on her cell phone. You know what, forget it. There was another one about 20 blocks from here. So, partys over. Sorry. Napolitano then urged the visibly saddened Americans to be careful, get back home as soon as possible, lock all their doors, and never leave their homes unless it is absolutely essential. 
3	The Whole Thing is a House of Cards Based in CorruptionThe Daily Coin Sometimes in life we are presented with an opportunity that shows us, without question, what greatness looks like, sounds like and acts like. There are other times in our lives when we realize just how inner-connected we are with the other people on this planet. Then, it happens. We are presented with a gift that we could never have imagined. We come face to face with honesty, integrity and true patriotism. The character that makes a man is not necessarily his accomplishments. How many people do you remember that gave you an honest handshake? Kept their word when it mattered most? Stood by you during your darkest hour? These people are few and far between in most peoples lives. In other peoples lives, sadly, they are nonexistent. It seems there is a total disconnect developing between truth and lies. Lies have become truth and truth has become very, very dangerous; some may argue deadly. Just look at the rash of banker suicides over the past three-four months. There have been so many, I can no longer keep count. Friday November 21 there was moment when it became crystal clear that sometimes the puzzle pieces are moved around without any of our assistance. Opportunities arise and we must strike while the iron is hot. I had been preparing for almost two weeks, researching, developing questions and making an attempt to put together an interview worthy of the guest that I would be asking questions. The good news is, Dr. Roberts is well versed and answered my questions with the kind of depth that only comes from a lifetime of knowledge. The tapestry that is woven is light on the ear, dark in places and downright infuriating at times. The frustration comes from the reality of what our once great country has become which is nothing more than giant ATM machine sucking the life blood out of the citizens of the world. The patient is getting close to either a) dying or b) unplugging altogether and developing a whole new system that is not under the control of American hegemony. When the US Mint sells out of the worlds premier silver coin and the price of silver does not go to the moon, what does that say about how the system works? When you have demand that outstrips supply and the price is falling you know the price is rigged. Theres no other explanation. Dr. Roberts What about when a handful, fewer than 100 people, have more wealth than 60% of a nation? The United States now has one of the worst income and wealth distributions on the face of the earth; its woret than some of the third world gangster states. Its extraordinary they completely have destroyed the United States as an opportunity society. Dr. Roberts was gracious enough to share what he knows about the Swiss Gold Initiative and, hopefully, this article will make its way all around the Swiss countryside. It would be good for it circulate through Germany as well to let the people of Germany know we want them to succeed as well. What the polls in Switzerland show is all the poor people are in favor of the Central Bank keeping 20% of their reserves in gold, while all the rich people are against it. The view in Switzerland is, if this passes it means a strong Franc, and therefore, it means the cost of living for the poor, falls. A strong Franc helps the poor people. It reduces their cost of living. If the Germans had gold with which to back the Mark, a return to the Mark; it would be the end of the American hegemony over Europe. It would break up NATO, it would break up the EU and therefore, it could well be there is plenty of gold in Ft. Knox, but theyre not going to let the Germans have theirs back because it could be used for a strong Markwhich would then go hand-in-hand with a strong Ruble. You know Russians have been buying gold and theres a limit on how much the American authorities, financial banks and hedge funds can drive down the Ruble.when they (the Russians and Germans) are sitting on tons and tons of gold!! Whatever it (gold) does, it reduces American power and, therefore, reduces the likelihood of nuclear war. Even if we have dislocations, financially, it kind of ends this view, this hubris, that the United States is indispensable, its an exceptional country, ordained to exercise hegemony over the world and any country that gets in the way, like Russia and China has to be dealt with in severe ways With the BRICS and the SCO continually moving in positive directions and making strides to take care of business, protect their country and do all they can to get away from the dollar, what is the reality of moving away from the dollar? We have seen what happened when Hussein and Gaddafi attempted to use another form of payment for their oil? Can you say Tomahawk missiles? Sure you can. They rained down on Libya like a hail storm before a tornado. Hussein, the media simply made into a monster and then the authorities tracked him down like an animal and made a circus of the whole situation. Then they killed him. No country that participates in the dollar payment system is independent. No country that participates in the dollar payment system has sovereignty. Theyre vassal states; theyre subject to Washingtons orders. And if they disobey they are overthrown or they get sanctions. (Rory)or they get bombed This is an interview that should be listened to at least once. If you dont stick around till the very last word, you are going to miss the point of the first two paragraphs of this article along with one of the best stories you will hear anywhere.

2	Trump Pranks The Media So Hard They Are FURIOUS... This Is Why We Love Trump On Friday, Donald Trump completely played the media when he announced he was going to spend a lot of time talking about whether or not Obama was truly born in America. The liberal media was very excited about the announcement, and were ready to use footage to make Trump look crazy. Thats when Trump turned everything around. We just got played, Jake Tapper commented. We just got played. The majority of the speech was veterans endorsing Trump and his vision for America. Trump then commented that these veterans were not the deplorables Hillary Clinton thinks they are. Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2007 started the birther controversy; I finished it, Trump commented. President Barack Obama was born in the United States. Period. Now we all want to get back to making America strong and great again. Trump then left the stage without taking any questions. What do you think of Trumps move?

3	Federal Government Ordered to Explain Why it Needs a Cell Phone Kill SwitchBy Carey Wedler for the orderly shut-down and restoration of wireless services during critical emergencies such as the threat of radio-activated improvised explosive devices. It allows the government to cut service within a localized area, such as a tunnel or bridge, and within an entire metropolitan area. The policy comes with a murky, questionable history. The implementation of the policy was a reaction to the 2005 London subway bombing and was deemed necessary for national security. In 2005, all cell service in New Yorks Hudson Tunnel was cut off for two weeksa move that by the DHSs own admission created disorder for both Government and the private sector at a time when use of the communications infrastructure was most needed. Due to the secrecy surrounding the policy, there is no concrete documentation to suggest that SOP 303 has been used to cut cell service. In 2011, however, all cell phone communication was cut on San Franciscos BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit). This was done to disrupt a protest against a violent police officer who killed a homeless man. That same year, the White House claimed that the government had the right to control private communications systems in the United States during times of war or other national emergencies. In an effort to learn more about the justification for the BART shut down, the Electronic Privacy Information Center filed a FOIA request with DHS in July of 2012. DHS claimed it could not find any relevant documentation, leading EPIC to file a FOIA lawsuit. A lower federal court found the agency insufficiently complied with the request. By February of 2015, however, a higher court sided with a DHS appeal and ruled that the [DHS] permissibly withheld much, if not all of SOP 303, because its releasecould reasonably be expected to endanger individuals lives or physical safety . . . . In spite of the federal governments aggressive attempts to keep this information secret, EPIC filed a request last month for the court to revisit its decision, arguing that if left in place, [it] would create an untethered national security exemption. This time, the court gave the government until this Monday, April 27, to explain the details of its policy, including under what conditions it may be implemented. Alan Butler, a lawyer for EPIC, explained plainly that, Were not asking for detailed information about how [SOP 303] works but about the rationale and the policy guidelines. The push toward a kill switch has been building for years (and predates cell phones and the Internet). In July of 2012, Obama signed an Executive Order that granted the authority to seize private facilities when necessary, effectively shutting down or limiting civilian communications. In 2010, a Senate Subcommittee on Homeland Security approved a kill-switch for the Internet and in 2014, the House of Representatives introduced a cell phone kill switch bill in the name of preventing smartphone theft. In August of that same year, California Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill requiring all smart phones made after July 2015 to have a built in kill switch. The bill has been criticized for granting dangerous power to both law enforcement and hackers. The use of a kill switch has also been lambasted for what some view as an inability to prevent terrorist attacks. In fact, previous terror attacks have relied not on cellular communication, but merely on an alarm clock built into a phone which would be unaffected by the use of a kill switch. The dangers of granting such broad authority to government seem not only abundant, but obvious. As seen in the 2011 BART instance, the state is more than willing to dismantle communication for reasons beyond national security. The power to disrupt the citizens right to organize protests against state action is an unconscionable effort to control the population and silence dissent. That the government is so resistant to explain this power is reason enough to distrust it. As Howard Feld, Senior Vice President of Public Knowledge, a public advocacy group, pointed out, Understanding a policy should not compromise national security. The DHS stubbornly disagreed. Asked to explain the decision to withhold basic procedural information from the public on the program, it responded only with, We have no comment on this. Although the court-mandated deadline has come and gone as of midnight yesterday without a response from the government, this story will be updatedwhen and if they ever decide to offer an explanation for the shrouded policy.

3	Senator Pans Outrageous Vaccine LiesBy Catherine J. Frompovich That happened to none other than the propellant for Californias vaccination bill SB277, California State Senator and Pediatrician Richard Pan. The disgustingly sad aspect of SB277 is it takes away all vaccination exemptions, except medical, for California children. Also, that every politician in California believes a lying, and apparently totally vaccine-contents-stupid, medical doctorRichard Pan. Pan, even though he introduced SB277, certainly should have done more homework about vaccines because he really blew all credibility for himself as a physicianand even his professionwhen he stated on camera that there are no aborted fetal cells in vaccines. Maybe he doesnt know what diploid cells are? If thats the case, hed better turn in his stethoscope! Doctorshould I refer to you as onehow can you dispute the CDCs online listing of vaccine ingredients and mediums? If you can read, will you please scroll to Adenovirus where you will find WI-38 a fetal cell line, commonly referred to as diploid cells. MMR-II has WI-38 cells, too. Pentacel has MRC-5 human diploid cells. So do Havrix, Vaqta, Twinrix, MMRV, Imovax, and Zostavax! Varivax contains both WI-38 and MRC-5. For someone who has degrees from Harvard and Johns Hopkins, one would think that you would understand that lying before a hearing is something akin to plagiarism in collegeyou just dont do that if you dont want to lose what youve worked to attain. What possessed you to make a perfect stupid ass of yourself? Are mandatory vaccines and the removal of religious and philosophical exemptions that vitally important to the pharmaceutical industry that you had to lie before a hearing? Supposedly, you arent that stupid since youve earned a few prestigious sheep skins. Personally, I think your either intentional fraud or actual stupidity need to be held accountable because your actions will negatively impact everyones health in California. Furthermore, I strongly suggest that complaints against you be filed with the Medical Board of California for disseminating inaccurate medical information regarding vaccines. Heres where readers should file their complaints http://www.mbc.ca.gov/Consumers/Complaints/. One of the serious problems with vaccines is that medical doctors and personnel really dont know the facts about vaccines and promote them willy-nilly-like, as you have proven. That has to stop and the medical profession has to police itself on that grave malfeasance in medical practice, I truly believe. No more lies, more lies, and damned lies about the safety of vaccines from doctors, especially when they dont even know what vaccines contain.

This form of capitalism is called the barn yard market. Here the citizen is instructed to just get in line and take your shots. The use of multiple injections combined into one and named without mentioning the real combination should be seen as a case of poisoning. if injections worked the reported immunity would be contagious and the disease would die out, instead the immunity is fleeting and the disease grows stronger. No corporation should have the right through law enforcement to inject a citizen with a product that had no test to prove a need and pollutes the citizens pure immune system to make them a carrier for life. Excellent article. Senator Pan is a disgrace to the office of Senator, a liar, and is controlled by lobbyists. Unfortunately he is typical and common concerning BOUGHT Politicians. Dr. Pan is motivated by greed ignorance. Whats the excuse of all the other legislators who cant do a simple Google search? Some politicians, like Assemblyman Isadore Hall, III apologized for his previous vote on SB 277 and promised to research the matter and if necessary, write a letter to Governor Brown urging him to veto SB 277 if it passes.

They were paid. Not directly but they most likely have been promised financial backing for future political endeavors. However, many have been paid in advance as indicated by the Sacramento Bee article: California should be a wake up call for everyone across the country. Our elected officials on the US level as well as the state levels are bought and paid for by the corporations that run this country. If you are expecting to get the truth from them, well, lets say hell will freeze over. Can we all chip in and purchase a full page ad in a major newspaper with his face, his lie in quotes and then the CDC list of Vaccine Media Excipients with the aborted fetal cells highlighted? Would they print it? I counted eleven vaccines on the new 2015 list . I would donate. Dont think it doesnt affect you cause you dont live in Cali. Once they do it the floodgates will open on loss of parental rights. If this bill passes in California so goes the rest of the USA. I have been trying to wake up enough people to the danger of vaccines and am sure they have a new list for seniors that I will not comply. I worry about all the new autoimmune disorders being diagnosed for children and adults. Add to this the GMO foods that they have lied about being safe. The new disorder of fatty tissue build up in the colon can surely be attributed to the frankenfoods that Monsanto is producing in their labs with GE seeds. We are being attacked from all sides. This is nothing but legal genocide. They have an official name for politicians and companies who LIE about a subject or product and do so from many angles. it is called astroturfing . . . funny they dont have to spell out what is in a vaccine as w/ most items you buy in a grocery store. The vast majority of folks just accept this ill founded technology they are pro but dont have the slightest idea what is in them nano biophages Edward Jenner should have been hanged, for killing two of his children by injecting animal pus into their previously healthy bodies. All physicians that inject animal pus, heavy metals and poisons into living humans (called vaccination) especially infants deserve similar punishment. The Hippocratic Oath was replaced with profit margin when the Rockefeller family bought out medical colleges and medicine a hundred or so years ago. Voodoo Vaccination creates a steady supply of patients for the medical industry and the undertaker industry, while maintaining the profit margin of pharmaceutical companies. Take Mercks gardasil for example. It prevents nothing, but has maimed and murdered thousands of women, world-wide, since its introduction. Inject boys with it ? Since when do males get vaginal cancer ? Genuine research consistently evidences that vaccination sickens and kills instead of preventing illness, which most readers of activist post understand. The practice of herbalism, which Rockefeller types called witchcraft, continues to heal, while voodoo vaccination continues to sicken and kill.

This engaging and provocative author, now lovingly handcrafted in genuine calf hide, is a must-have for any collector of great American prose fiction writers, read a press release, which went on to state that the 80-year-old Pulitzer Prize winner and author of Portnoys Complaint has never before been made available for purchase in his complete, unabridged form. With his mottled-leather exterior and 22-karat-gold-accented arms and legs, Mr. Roth makes an excellent showpiece for any home library or study. Several reviewers have criticized the newly released leather-bound author for what they describe as his unsympathetic treatment of women. 
3	New App Is Helping Feed Hundreds of Thousands of Homeless PeopleBy Carey Wedler When the man asked her for money for food, she took him to lunch instead and learned of his time as a soldier in Iraq. Hed already gone on two deployments and now hes come back, hes 26 and on the side of the road begging for food, Ahmad said. It just blew my mind. Shortly after her experience, she began an initiative at Berkeley to donate uneaten food from the universitys dining halls to local homeless shelters. The program was so successful that in three years, it has spread to over 140 colleges around the country. Excess food wastage is a serious problem in the United States. Americans throw out more food than plastic, paper, metal and glass, and in 2012 (the most recent year with available data), Americans threw out over 35 million tons of food. Meanwhile, 1 in 6 Americans goes hungry every year. As Ahmad said, excess food waste is literally the worlds dumbest problem. She noted that Hunger is bad its terrible everywhere but in America, in the most prosperous, industrialized country in the world, this just shouldnt exist. In 2013, Ahmad, now 25, launched a phone app to encourage private companies and event planners to donate extra food. Feeding Forward is a not-for-profit service that allows users to arrangeon-demand for Feeding Forward drivers to pick up leftover food and deliver it directly to areas and people that need it most. In San Francisco, the app has helped feed over 575,000 homeless people by redistributing nearly 690,000 pounds of excess food. As Ahmad told the New York Daily News, Ahmad is doing just that. Since her story was featured on CNET last Sunday, she says she has received thousands of messages from people around the world eager to participate. I didnt expect it to blow upPeople as far as Nairobi, Bangalore and Hong Kong have wrote us asking us to expand Feeding Forward to their cities and countries. Theyre like, Tell me what I can do to get it here, she said. Though Ahmads app is now one of the most successful tools for feeding the homeless, her effort is part of a growing movement to solve hunger and problems of food wastage. As CNET summarized, While homeless people often endure persecution from authorities, increased private and popular efforts are working to change the landscape. It is profoundly impressive that a young woman could foster such tangible effects in her community, but perhaps more inspiring is the global support she has received for her workshowing that in a world filled with greed, hate, and negativity, there is still hope for generosity, compassion, and a brighter future.

2	BREAKING: Al Sharpton Moves To Shut Down Kid Rocks Tour Following the shootings in Charleston, S.C., the liberal media has called out for a ban on Confederate flags, sparking a heated debate throughout the country. Now, Al Sharptons National Action Network (NAN) has started on an even more ridiculous rampage against southern rocker Kid Rock. NAN has reportedly demanded that General Motors pull their sponsorship from Kid Rocks tour, which could potentially feature the flag. Rev. Charles Williams II, from the Detroit chapter of NAN, told The Associated Press that the best resolution for GM to pull their sponsorship of the summer tour. However, it sounds like GM intends to stand behind Kid Rock. Thats a good thing, considering NANs efforts are, per usual, very far-fetched. What do you think of the criticisms of Kid Rock? Are they completely ridiculous? 
3	The Stock Market In Japan Is COLLAPSINGMichael Snyder Those who have been waiting for a full-blown stock market collapse may be about to get their wish. Japan is absolutely drowning in debt, their central bank is printing money like crazy and the Japanese population is aging rapidly. As far as economic fundamentals go, there is very little good news as far as Japan is concerned. So will an Asian financial collapse precede the next great financial crisis in the United States? That is what some have been predicting, and it starting to look increasingly likely. What happened to the Nikkei early on Tuesday was absolutely breathtaking. The following is how Bloomberg described the carnage At the end of January 2013, Japanese stocks trailed only Portugal for the biggest rally among developed markets. Now the Nikkei 225 Stock Average is leading declines, slumping 8.5 percent last month and today capping a 14 percent drop from its Dec. 30 peak. Losses snowballed in Tokyo during a global retreat that has erased $2.9 trillion from equity values worldwide this year amid signs of slower growth in China and stimulus cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve. The Fed created this bubble by pumping trillions of fresh dollars into the global financial system, and now they are bursting this bubble by starting to cut off the flow of easy money. This is something that I warned would happen when the Fed decided to taper, and now RBS is warning of a market bloodbath unless the Federal Reserve immediately stops tapering. Most Americans simply do not realize that our financial markets no longer resemble a free market system. Instead, they are highly manipulated and distorted by the central banks, and the trillions of dollars of hot money that the Fed has poured into the global financial system has infectedvirtually every financial market on Earth On Wall Street they call it hot moneythat seemingly endless flow of cash that goes to the most profitable country du jourbut in the real economy its gone cold. That hot money has come mostly in the form of a low-yielding U.S. dollar, which investors have borrowed en masse to fund investments in other higher-yielding currencies across the globe. The so-called carry trade has helped fuel an investment bonanza across the world that has boosted risk assets thanks primarily to the U.S. Federal Reserves easy-money policy. But with the Fed tiptoeing away from what initially was an $85 billion-a-month infusion of liquidity, investors are beginning to prepare themselves for a world of rising rates in which the endless cash flow to emerging market economies begins to ebb, then cease. We never fixed any of the fundamental problems that caused the last financial crisis. Instead, the Fed seemed to think that the solution to any problem was just to create more money. It was an incredibly stupid approach, and now our fundamental problems are worse than everas Marc Faber recently noted Total credit as a percent of the global economy is now 30 percent higher than it was at the start of the economic crisis in 2007, we have had rapidly escalating household debt especially in emerging economies and resource economies like Canada and Australia and we have come to a point where household debt has become burdensome on the systemthat is, where an economic slowdown follows. So what comes next? Well, unless the Fed or other central banks intervene, we are probably going to have even more carnage. At least that is what Dennis Gartman, the editor and publisher of The Gartman Letter, told CNBC on Tuesday I just think youre going to have a very severe, very substantive and really quite ugly correction that will probably make a lot of people wail and gnash their teeth before its done. Other analysts share his pessimism. According to Doug Short, the vice president of research at Advisor Perspectives, the U.S. stock market still looks 67% overvalued. Most sobering of all is what Richard Russell is saying. In his 60 years of writing about financial issues, he has never been so filled with foreboding regarding what lies ahead Id be lying if I said that I wasnt worried about the way things are going. Frankly, Im truly scared for myself, my family and the nation. I have the sinking feeling that the stock market is on the edge of a crash. If that happens, investor sentiment will turn quickly bearish. And the bear market will start feeding on itself. Ironically, the recent action occurred in the face of almost insane bullishness on the part of the crowd and on the part of investors. Obviously smart heads and institutional money managers know that the US is semi dead in the water. And all the talk about an improving economy is just wishes and hopes. Bernankes dream of a flourishing new economy, improving without the need of the Feds help, is an idle dream. Ive been writing about the stock market for over 60 years and I cant remember a time when I was so filled with foreboding regarding what lies ahead. The primary trend of the market, like the tide of the ocean, is irresistible, and waits for no man. What scares me the most in this current situation is that I see no clear island of safety. You can read the rest of his very disturbing remarks right here. U.S. stocks may not totally crash this week, this month or even this year, but without a doubt a day of reckoning is coming. As a society, our total consumer, business and government debt is now equivalent to approximately345 percent of GDP. The only way that the game can continue is to keep pumping up the debt bubble even more. Those that foolishly still have lots of money in the stock market better hope that the Federal Reserve decides to intervene in a major way very soon. Because if they dont, there is a very good chance that we could indeed have a market bloodbath on our hands. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

1	Steve Jaskoviak, president of the National Board of Steve Jaskoviak, lobbied Congress for an unprecedented $10 billion bailout package Monday. 'In order to continue providing Americans with a full range of Steve Jaskoviak-related services, it is crucial that I receive this aid,' Jaskoviak told Congress. 'This relief package will not only will cover my $5,612 Visa debt, but numerous administrative costs, as well.' 
1	After years of providing hope and assistance to resume-padding volunteers, the Second District Homeless Shelter closed its doors this week, leaving hundreds of desperate students without anything to write under 'Other Interests.' The shelter, long a place of refuge for those in need of extracurricular credit, was shut down Monday due to statewide budget cutbacks and a drop-off in private donations. According to sources, the news has devastated countless high school seniors who had come to depend on the outreach center in order to impress prospective colleges. 'Where am I supposed to go now?' said 17-year-old Jeremy Krassner, one of many B-plus students left to wonder about his future. 'Princeton only takes the very best candidates, and even schools like Columbia check for community-service experience.' Added Krassner, 'I'll never make it.' Krassner is not alone. Over the years, the temporary housing facility has turned a number of academic lives around and provided many young men and women with a second chance at graduating with honors. In addition, the homeless shelter has reportedly supplied college applicants with a safe, inviting place to improve their transcripts, allowing them to escape the dangers of having to clean up inner-city neighborhoods or commit to other risky volunteer activities. Since the shelter's closing, however, students from all walks of life have found it difficult to carry on. 'With the shelter, I never had to worry about where my next scholastic achievement was going to come from,' Townsend High School student body president Jessica Glustein said. 'Now that it's gone, what chance does someone like me have of composing an admissions essay that touts my active involvement in community-based projects?' While some down-and-out volunteers have managed to find temporary salvation at an understaffed food bank one town over, others haven't been so lucky. Michael King, a sophomore at Rye Country Day School, said that unless things change for the better, he might soon find himself in the hospitalas he recently heard they have openings for candy stripers in the geriatric wing. But as desperation grows, a number of students have taken more drastic measures, with some resorting to begging for signatures on the streets in hopes of securing even the smallest $6,000 annually renewable scholarship. 'I just stand on the corner here, and whenever someone walks by, I ask if they have a couple of minutes to help save the environment,' said Rebbeca Hodge, who signed up to volunteer with Greenpeace on Tuesday. 'Most people just ignore me or pretend like I don't exist. It's degrading. Nobody should have to go through this.' 'I've managed to get by okay thanks to a Habitat for Humanity home I've been helping to build,' Joshua Penderman, 16, said. 'But what happens to me and my dreams of going to Dartmouth when the winter comes? What will I do when it gets too cold to participate in charity car washes or plant trees at the nursing home?' Statistics culled from five major metropolitan areas over the last 10 years suggest this trend shows no signs of stopping. In 2005, a free health clinic, which had for years allowed Chicago-area students to strengthen their applications to med school, was shut down without warning. And just last year the closing of an assisted-living residence in Baltimore left dozens of volunteers without the academic support they so desperately required. According to social worker Elizabeth Schulz, the shuttering of the Second District Homeless Shelter has done more than just jeopardize the scholastic lives of its student volunteers. 'Yes, this will hurt young men and women looking to improve their school transcripts, but we're avoiding the real issue here,' Schulz said. 'What about people, like me, who need outreach programs in order to build up their roster of private, government-subsidized clients? How are we supposed to eat?' 
2	Obama Humiliated After Peyton Manning Says THIS To His Face In Front Of... According to recent reports, NFL legend Peyton manning offered President Barack Obama some serious advice on Monday prior to a Rose Garden reception for the Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos. Obama recounted that Manning once told him, Dont overstay your welcome. I have term limits. I have no choice, the chief executive joked, drawing laughter from the crowd. Unlike any other candidate before him, Obama does plan to live in Washington, D.C. after his term ends to allow Sasha to finish high school at Sidwell Friends School. She is set to graduate in the spring of 2019. And then there is this guy from the commercials, Obama said, referring to Manning. It doesnt matter whether you need insurance, pizza, a Buick. You basically can stock your whole household with the stuff this guy is selling. We were obviously all a little disappointed to see him hang it up this spring, Obama continued. As somebody who is a little bit older, I was sympathetic to the idea; running around with all these guys, it takes its toll. But its great to see somebody with a career like that who conducted himself on and off the field the way he did be able to go out on top. Manning told reporters that when Obama was recently sworn in, he telephoned him after the Indianapolis Colts lost the 2009 Super Bowl to the New Orleans Saints, praising his good effort. I hope you get back here while Im still in office, Manning claims Obama said to him. I waited till the last possible minuteI waited to my last year of eligibility and his, but it was nice to be able to get here and meet him and he was very nice, the NFL star commented. 
2	What Absurd Thing Happened To Police Dept. For Posting Get God Back Into Our Schools Image Recently, a police department in Rosenberg, Texas made headlines when they decided to add an image to their social media account, that some view as blurring the lines between Church and State. The picture asked the community to Get God Back Into Our Schools, with the caption Amen. it drew immense criticism from atheists in the community. I have a question for the Rosenberg Police Department in Texas, wrote Hemant Mehta. How the hell is it okay to post this on your official Facebook page? The image was flocked by similar comments and hate mail. To protect the force, they had no choice but to remove the image from their feed. What do you think? Do you support the Rosenberg Police Department or did they cross the line? 
3	Science Vs. Politics Australias Water Fluoridation DebateKate Johnston South Australian Independent Candidate and Civil Rights Advocate Mark Aldridge began questioning Australias water fluoridation program after encountering some information claiming that the benefits of fluoride on our teeth are largelytopical through application such as toothpaste rather than systemic. I couldnt understand why we were bathing in it, drinking it, washing our cars in it when studies showed the benefits to be topical, said Mark. You know where it comes from, right? he asked rhetorically. I knew, but how many Australians did? The fluoride added to Australias water supply is a toxic waste from the phosphate fertilizer industry not the pharmaceutical grade, naturally occurring fluoride found in toothpaste. Australia sources most of its hydrofluorosilicic acid from Incitec Pivot in Geelong, Victoria a global manufacturer of explosives and fertilizer. According to Incitecs own safety data sheet, the hydrofluorosilicic acid added to our water is a classified Schedule 7 poison, which means it has high to extremely high toxicity and can cause death at low exposure. Another issue arising from using an industrial waste product, is the contamination of heavy metals such as arsenic, mercury, lead, cadmium, barium, beryllium and even uranium which along with hydrofluorosilicic acid are bio accumulative in our bodies and result in disease. In any country where the issue has faced their courts of justice or been put to a referendum, in every case the adding of fluoride was stopped immediately, said Mark. Most of Europe has taken fluoride out. That leaves a few Western countries that dont allow debate, he added. Historically, the Australian water fluoridation debate has been focused around the effects that fluoride has on dental health, ignoring the growing body of scientific evidence outlining the adverse effects that ingesting the known poison has on the rest of the body. According to Mark, there is an absence of debate in the public arena. They [the mainstream media] wont allow anything that goes against the government position, he added. While there have been earlier tests done on the pharmaceutical grade sodium fluoride often cited in the media, no real research by the Australian government has gone into the effects that hydrofluorosilicic acid has on our bodies. And given the mounting evidence from inside Australia and all over the world showing the connections between water fluoridation, cancers, lowered IQ, thyroid problems and pineal gland dysfunction thats exactly where the debate needs to start. While many claims have been made about the benefits of fluoride in reducing tooth decay, studies from within Australia and around the world indicate that there is little to no difference in the levels of tooth decay between fluoridated and unfluoridated communities. Dr. John Colquhoun, a New Zealand dentist and former water fluoridation proponent, wrote a telling journal article outlining his own research into the prevalence of tooth decay in fluoridated and unfluoridated communities. His results indicated that there was little to no difference between fluoridated and unfluoridated communities and where studies indicated otherwise, serious flaws were found, thus invalidating their findings. A research study carried out at by Harvard University has found that childrens IQs were significantly lower in areas that were heavily fluoridated, compared to those that werent. It is believed that fluoride acts as a developmental neurotoxicity, which affects brain development. According to physician and author Dr. Joseph Mercola he writes in a Huffington Post article, It amazes me that the medical (and dental) communities are so stubbornly resistant to connect the dots when it comes to the skyrocketing increase of cognitive decline in adults and behavioural issues in children. Dr Doug Everingham, a doctor who later became Australias Federal health minister under the Gough Whitlam government, started out as a proponent of water fluoridation programs in Australia. It wasnt until he came across a study by Melbourne Universitys Dentistry Dean Sir Arthur Amies and Senior Research fellow Phillip R. N. Sutton highlighting the errors of the early fluoridation trials that he started his own research. In an interview with Dr. Everingham, he speaks of his time serving as the Australian health minister and water fluoridation opponent. Dr Everingham highlights the problems he encountered in getting the issue addressed, and subsequently acted upon, by the Australian government. We had unconfirmed reports of damage to the thyroid gland, bones and so on Various reports that have never been individually challenged refuted or confirmed [by the Australian Government and its respective health agencies]. In 1990, a study by The U.S. National Toxicology program was conducted looking at the relationship between water fluoridation and bone, liver and oral cancers as well as thyroid dysfunction. The study found strong links between water fluoridation and the prevalence of cancers yet the results were downgraded to a less severe classification. Dr. William Marcus, chief toxicologist in the Office of Water at the U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) noticed this downgrade and immediately sent a memorandum out stating that fluoride was a probable human carcinogen (cancer causing). He proposed that further studies be carried out so that the agency could ascertain what levels were safe or if fluoride should be added to the publics water supply at all. A campaign against Dr. William Marcus was initiated, and he was soon thereafter fired. I spoke to Independent Film Maker and Director of the Australian documentary Fire Water: Australias Industrial Fluoridation Disgrace, Jaya Chela Drolma, to glean some insight from her experience in making the film. Jaya felt compelled to make Fire Water after being asked to shoot a single short film segment about a person suffering from prolonged fluoride exposure. What transpired was a collection of 19 interviews from a cross section of Australian society including researchers, politicians, activists, sufferers and health professionals. The mainstream media has maintained absolute silence; the pro fluoride lobbys stance is unquestioned by the people; and the media has only supplied officially sanctioned information without any true critical analyses, said Jaya. Also of great concern is that aboriginal people have smaller kidneys than Caucasians, and therefore cannot eliminate as much fluoride per day, for the same dose given; and that there is no way to monitor the dose that people are ingesting each day, she added. As I started to wrap up the thought-provoking interview, Mark Aldridge reiterated the importance of Australians keeping themselves informed. Instead of relying on the mainstream media and in the best interest of their health and that of their childrens, Australians have to start spending an hour a week actually looking into whats going on in the world. This country is on its knees at the moment, on its knees, he added. If we cant bring change soon, were in trouble.

'Nancyjust too much on plate to give you an hour in re: your DOB anytime in the next 60 to 90 days,' Fulmer's assistant wrote in an email to Mrs. Fulmer Monday. 'Suggest we try to squeeze it in between late-Sept. conference and mid-Oct. reorganizational period. Thoughts?'

2	New Law Sentencing Anyone Who Kills A Police Officer To Death Throughout his presidency, President Obama has done very little to stand up for our countrys law enforcement and discouraging the growing hostility towards them. In contrast, Donald Trump has promised to protect the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep us safe. Now, some are proposing legislation that would immediately impose the death penalty for killing an officer. This could help to reduce growing violence against our men and women in blue. If you kill a police officer, you should be put up for execution ~ .@BoDietl I agree 100% NO EXCEPTIONS#MAGA pic.twitter.com/JHs06R9fDX Brian Fraser (@bfraser747) November 22, 2016 
2	Athiest Group Wants To Ban Christianity From Small Town It seems that the Freedom From Religion Foundation will stop their relentless attack on Christianity at nothing. According to reports, the atheist organization is now demanding that a small North Carolina town remove an elective Bible study class from its current school system. Reports show that the atheist group filed a complaint against the Rowan-Salisbury School System. In particular, they were targeting a privately funded program giving students the opportunity to learn about the Bible as part of their curriculum. When word spread to the community, they rallied in support of the schools right to offer the course, claiming that students have a right to express their religion. They also spoke out at the schools board meeting. When community members were asked if they supported the Bible study course, nearly the whole room was standing in support. The board of education has confirmed that they will take no further action in changing the curriculum. What do you think? Does the Freedom From Religion Foundation need to stop targeting schools and Christian organizations? 
3	Are Private Companies Color Coding Your House For Law Enforcement?By Amanda Warren Did you know that private companies are getting in on the action by providing state of the art surveillance technology to provide to law enforcement in real time? How would you feel to know that you, and in particular, your home address had been painted with a broad stroke brush a single color that could determine guilt by association? One investigative writer asks is this the modern version of the Star of David on the door of Jewish people? Toledo, Ohio has been somewhat of a testing ground for surveillance and militarized police training. My information of real time crime centers first arrived after reading about Toledos new roll out of street cameras a total infestation of surveillance. The residents and business owners did not appreciate having cameras aimed at them, but the city went with it anyway. This was when I first read about the private company providing the product also providing real-time 24/7 management from a different state. Now, the market for such Big Brother gear is growing and the trend is spreading. It goes like this: federal grants allow for local law enforcement to contract with private companies offering product lines to fight crime and watch for pre-crime. The companies encourage departments to get grants or get private funds to get the goods. These companies often offer 24-hour real time help remotely from a distance. Mass Private I blog reports that Real Time Crime Centers (RTCC) can field all 911 calls field all 911 and give officers access to any city camera including police body and dash cameras and new traffic cameras From Mass Private I: The RTCC center also allows officers to access a massive array of surveillance cameras. RTCCs got [their] start in NYC in 2005. RTCCs are popping up across the country, theyre in St. Louis, Philadelphia, Boston and Los Angeles. Any high-priority 911 calls, defined as in-progress or life-threatening crimes, will now be filtered through a database to assess any possible threats an officer may encounter while responding. Along with the real time information, these centers have taken the liberty of predetermining the threat level of your home to forewarn police in the event they decide to come over or speak with you. The color codes are based on information collection including relatives, friends or other associations and their pasts too! Additionally, from Mass Private I emphasis added: The database goes through all public information for the calls location from arrest records to pizza deliveries and gives the address a rating. Green means minimal threat, yellow a possible threat and red a major threat. The RTCC system shows officers three pieces of data: the threat level, the criminal history of anyone living at the home and a list of known friends and family members. This list sometimes includes possible phone numbers and addresses of these associates. Police Chief Jerry Dyer acknowledged that it was possible for a home to be given a red threat level because someone associated with it once had a violent conviction. Reading the source links provided would be highly enlightening. How do you feel knowing that pizza deliveries and other traffic through your home is being collected and doled out to police? How do you feel being red-flagged for something that someone else did? And having your friends contacts and their visits tracked, passed through a third party and on to law enforcement. We also need to ask how this information is possible (phones?) and how the private companies are able to access it (cellular companies?). The crux of the problem here is that we are accepting that we are constantly viewed as threats. How can we continue to pay for that behavior and rely on it for help from those who are trained to view us something that might warrant eradication? Its a complete contradiction. Not always, but enough to warrant an activist database in order to keep track of citizen deaths at the hands of police. The information is all in the favor of law enforcement, companies that profit on Big Brother behavior and the federal government, but with no benefit at all to us. Since this is due to our own ignorance and detriment, maybe it really is time to get better connected with friends and community to call in case of an emergency.And perhaps its time to be really brave and reach out to law enforcement too. After all, it closes the gap of wrong perceptions, it humanizes the community again, it provides information to you in order to sense the climate in your area. More information allows you to have a stronger foundation in order to speak to city officials about the problems. When your city tries to tell you how great these real-time crime centers are, demand to see the proof and reject the notion that you must be on camera 24/7 in order to be safe. Reject any rationale for home visits from your friends and pizza deliveries being tracked! Since this is an act of virtually unregulated law enforcement intertwined with profitable, under-the-radar private information collection networks it is a bit dizzying at first to think how to address this problem. Who would you talk to in your city to address this? Definitely let your mayor and city council know that there are other ways of crime prevention that do not include invasive surveillance and having your home predetermined especially not by something a relative or friend may have done in the past! *color wheel was superimposed on the image Recently fromAmanda Warren: This was hard to follow, the indented quote with 4 links is very confusing. Is that whole thing a quote? Thanks for the feedback we hope the authors new edits help clarify this is why there will never be a generic EMP false flag. It would eliminate the police states surveillance of us, and destroy their control over the populace. EMP targeting one house maybe. but the entire country? it would be fascism committing suicide The chinese tested a lo tek ICBM about 6 years ago. It was hi explosives surounded by .177 pellets. It can achieve desired near space or outer altitude and detonate on command sending the pellets into collision orbits forever to destroy our satellites and theirs net down.GPS down, cloud down, etc. See the movie Gravity. It operates on the destruction system of kinetic energy. Not the mass that matters but the speed. They probably will use depleted uranium pellets 1.5x the mass of lead. Evens up tge playing field real quick then its just a matter of time and attrition. Where will these color codes be placed on the house or mailbox or driveway so we can check for them? I WOULD THINK LAURA, ON THE CURB.. THIS HAPPENED TO US IN OUR VERY SMALL TOWN, SO THE RESCUE UNITS COULD FIND THE ADDRESSES THEY WERE SENT TO.. THE THE COLOR USED WAS WHITE.. THE CURB BELONGS TO THE CITY What about people in apartments? Why dont we label ALL our politicians that way? We only need ONE color RED! Actually they already have been labeled 1st theyll have a stay in Hades (for at least 1000yrs) ND then the GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT this too will come to pass/past! Heb 13:6 God love Of course this can not be allowed! If you are flagged with anything other than green, they will come at you with guns drawn ready to kill if you as much as twitch! Imagine, youre a conservative, a constitutionalist, a Christian, etc, they flag you yellow or red because they will assume you are well armed, and now they send in the tanks and heavy artillery! You are dead! You never even had a chance! You are driving down the highway, youve never been arrested, or even had a traffic violation, but you are tagged for previous mentioned items, and this red flag comes up on their computer, what are your chances of making it home alive? You are in the fascist states of amerika! well, ILL tell ya something-any damn dot is on my property it will get changed to a living color. nearly 100,000,000 Americans have arrest records, and no wonder for a variety of reasons. Its positively sickening to see that crime wave known as law enforcement ruin so many live on such illegal and/or specious premises. They dont need to do a threat analysis on my home, which they have broken into illegally twice that I know about. Next time they do it, I go Founding Fathers on them. All the surveillance does not surprise me at all. Between the cameras, drones, and private companies that are collecting this data willsell it to the highest bidder. You can go online to any number of these companies and get the same info. And lets not forget the GPS systems. Oregon is going to track all the miles you drive so they can charge you with a useage TAX! All the rest of the states are watching that very closely to see if it works so they can do it also. It is coming nation wide. We want cops to arrest bad people and we want it to be efficient and not cost tons of money for every arrest. Suppose for a moment that I am known not to take drugs but I have five regular visitors who are known to be chronic drug abusers with prior convictions. Doesnt it make good sense for the cops to pay a lot of attention to me? The current system in my area alerts the cops if any guns are known to be registered to me or my address. That helps save cops lives. We really do need to make changes such that many rich people spend long terms in jails for various crimes. But slacking off on surveillance may not be such a great idea. gorybe2: You are such a sheep, that you could be called the GOD of sheep. There is nowhere to start with someone as sheeped out as yourself. Please leave the planet, soon. It might help if you had something intelligent to contribute. You see there are many people who are against crime. We do tend to notice when others protest every little thing designed to catch criminals. There is a pattern to the nonsense. A cop has a night stick. The public says oh no! Night sticks are too dangerous. So the cops switch to pepper spray and again the public claims oh no. That spray is too cruel. So the cops switch to stun guns. Again we hear protests that stun guns are just too cruel. It doesnt tale long to get the message that a portion of the public wants crime to continue or increase. We will never be able to stop all crimes. But modern tools will enable us to shut down chronic criminals. Frankly the greatest issue is what the heck do we do with all the criminals we can catch? Right now we have at least 250,000 wealthy people who were caught cold hiding money off shore and all of these wealthy people should be spending a few years in prisons. But can we afford to lock them up? if the freeekin gubmint WANTED TO DO SOMETHING they would start by confiscation of their assets,the SAME CRAP THEY DO to normal folk. Doesnt it make good sense for the cops to pay a lot of attention to me? sure, absolutely, no question, without any doubt. now. are you sure that that is how the system will be used? I dunno man, by the time they implement all these associations just about every house and person in the country will be yellow. information is useless if its universal. U should also know that bounties are available to techs of private companies if they see something in your home that arouses their suspicions of criminal activity like a bong sitting on coffee table. Fusion centers sent a letter out years ago to licensed contractors and likely to chamber members. CC in my files. This includes pizza guy, gas co, elec co, water co, sat dish co, etc. I cant see this happening. A lot of families are in apartments these days and constantly moving after the year is up.

This Is It The View has fallen a long way since Barbara Walters was a host on the show, and the legendary newswoman is blaming ABC brass for destroying the shows legacy. Walters created the show with Bill Geddie, but now she is afraid it will only be remembered for a turnover cast and classless backstage fights, the New York Post reported. She feels theyve ruined the franchise that she and Bill Geddie built, a source told Page Six. Instead of focusing on smart, educated women with strong talent, they case uninformed child actors on the show. The legacy has been compromised because of poor casting and bad leadership under ABC News. Walters was noticeably absent from a reunion of the shows original cast members last month. A representative for the show adamantly denied rumors of a rift, claiming Walters was on a previously planned vacation. She calls the control room multiple times a week to offer her suggestions, her rep told reporters. She has a wonderful relationship with the show. A representative for ABC also insisted all is well with the shows creator. Theres no better producer than Barbara Walters, and were always grateful for her notes about the show, the rep told reporters. The ratings are up, and were very proud of the team. Candace Cameron-Bure was the latest host to leave the show. Sources told Page Six she disappeared for weeks before she officially asked to be let out of her contract. She reportedly left a Hot Topics meeting because she was not feeling well. She went home and no one heard from her for several weekseven her close friends at the show, the source commented. People thought she was about to have a breakdown because she was exhausted. She didnt return anyones calls and went AWOL. What do you think? Is The View hanging by a thread? 
1	It was confirmed Tuesday that Jesus Christ, 1,996, is engaged to Felicia Tufton, 38, who has sung backup on all of Christ's albums since 1983's Ridin' The Beams. 'We are very excited about this new chapter in Jesus' life,' said Gerald Hart, Christ's manager. 'The couple will take a two-week break for the wedding at the end of their current tour, and after the honeymoon, they'll be back in the studio finishing Jesus' forthcoming album, The Long Haul.' In the wake of His decision to marry, Christ says His plans of redeeming humanity from sin will be put on hold 'indefinitely' while He pursues family life. 
1	A 17-minute home sex tape made by Dennis and Tami Gilby in early May has not been watched since its initial viewing. 'I guess I thought it was something we'd watch every so often to get our juices flowing, but we haven't,' Dennis said Monday. 'Neither of us look too good, and we move around a lot less than I'd imagined. Plus, it was a single, wide shot of the bed, and the picture wasn't white-balanced very well.' Dennis added that he thinks he may already have taped over the footage with some West Wing episodes. 
1	Despite repeated warnings from management, 17-year-old kitchen steward Matt Mullen continues to rebel against the Sandpointer Resort Hotel's mandatory-nametag policy, kitchen sources reported Tuesday. Matt Mullen, who is refusing to be 'a tool of the management' by wearing a nametag. 'I do not understand why I have to wear some absurd, oppressive nametag when I work way back in the kitchen the whole day,' said Mullen, whose duties consist of salad prep work, dishwashing and general cleanup. 'That may be fine for most people, but I am not most people.' 'If I would have known they were going to expect me to fall in line like that, I never would have taken the job,' Mullen continued. 'I'm not going to be a good little sheep for management.' Besides stating his need to be '[his] own person,' the insurgent teen denounced management for informing him of the policy a full two weeks after he was hired. Mullen said the subject first came up when the owner of the hotel toured the kitchen Aug. 1. 'He started freaking,' Mullen said. 'I thought it was my hair or something, but the next thing I knew, I had to fill out this form, and a nametag came to my house.' Since receiving the nametag, Mullen has employed many tactics to avoid wearing it. Refusing to give in to a job requirement he called 'totally exploitative,' Mullen first protested by pinning the nametag in such non-regulation locations as beneath his kitchen apron, on his Rage Against The Machine baseball cap and on his pants zipper. When management intervened, Mullen moved the nametag to the proper location, over his left breast, but covered his name with masking tape and wrote in 'Kitchen Slave.' 'At first, I thought he was just trying to be funny with all the protest stuff,' said banquet waitress Donna Reese, a witness to several of Mullen's acts of rebellion. 'But someone told me later that he wasn't joking at all. I was like, 'That's weird.'' Last Friday, in a final act of defiance, Mullen 'accidentally dropped' the plastic nametag down the dishroom In-Sink-erator. He was forced to fish the nametag out and put it back on. 'It was awesome,' Mullen said. 'I felt like the Sandinistas or Rambo or something. Authority exists to be questioned.' Despite the teen's ongoing protests, Sandpointer management has stood firm in its insistence that Mullen wear the nametag. 'First of all, it's restaurant policy, plain and simple,' kitchen manager Earl Carby said. 'And second, Matt's job sometimes requires him to go into banquet and back-bar areas, where he may be spotted by a guest. In the event a guest needs a glass of water or something, that guest should be able to address Matt by name, maintaining that friendly Sandpointer atmosphere.' When told of Carby's comments, Mullen remained defiant. 'I don't care what Mr. Carby says. This policy is like something from that movie 1984, reducing all employees to a number. I mean, a name.' 'Maybe I'll go get totally faced behind the bar and then quit,' Mullen added. 'But I guess I shouldn't, 'cause I need the reference, and it's my first job.' 
2	Questions Rise After Analyzing Obamas Birth Certificate Questions about President Obamas true identity and origin have been circulating since his first term as in the White House. While liberals are quick to dismiss claims that dont align with Obamas story, theyre also not giving us anything to support it. To make matters worse, the documents theyve attempted to provide have proved to be faulty. Now, a new document has been released that proved that Obama was not born in the United States. According to a popular myth busting website, the newly uncovered birth certificate states the following: Barack Hussein Obama II General Hospital, Mombassa, Kenya where Obama was born a few hours later at 7:21 OM on August 4, 1961. Four days later his mother flew to Hawaii and registered his birth in Honolulu as a certificate of live birth which omitted the place and hospital of birth. While no proof exists that this document is legitimate, one thing is clear: Obama is spending millions of dollars trying to hide any concrete evidence either way. That is the only real fact here. And consider this: if your country was trying to impeach you for falsifying documents, wouldnt you do everything you could to prove them wrong? It certainly makes you think. 
3	How Do You Survive On One Dollar Per Day?This Group Of Friends Spent 56 Days In A Guatemalan Village Living On Just $1 A Day According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die each day due to poverty. And they die quietly in some of the poorest villages on earth, far removed from the scrutiny and the conscience of the world.[1] Globalissues.com states that 1.1 billion people live on less than $1 a day, a fact that became the catalyst for the four university students documentary. Armed with only a video camera and a desire to understand, they spend just 56 dollars each for 56 days in rural Pena Blanca, Guatemala. They battle E.Coli, financial stress and the realization that there are no easy answers. Yet, the generosity and strength of their neighbors, Rosa, Anthony and Chino gives them resilient hope. They return home transformed and embark on a mission to share their new-found understanding with other students, inspiring and challenging their generation to make a difference. It is discovered very quickly the dire challenges poverty poses: The real empathy presents itself with the introduction of the local village family previously mentioned: Rosa, Anthony, Chino and two other newborns. Its a reality experienced by over a billion people every day no access to clean water, sanitation, or proper nutrition, and no protection from natures unforgiving fury. Yet even in such a deficient environment, the locals maintain an inspiring sense of gratitude for what they have. This concept is eventually taught to the entire village, and while not the end-all-be-all to their situation, in just three years the knowledge has begun to help meet the needs of the community at large, instilling a new hope for their future. Coming back to the US, the boys were in rough shape. They were covered in scrapes and bed bugs, they had lost over 20 pounds and one of them had contracted a severe case of E.coli. But there was a pressing question which was on all of their minds, What do we do now? Now thousands of miles away from Guatemala, the boys spent countless hours condensing over 300 hours of footage into a one-hour documentary. Next, they presented their story at a Tedx talk, where they advocated that poverty isnt about statistics, its about hopes and dreams of living people. Moving forward, we want to mobilize all of the world to develop a solution to global poverty. Their project went viral around the Web. From there they launched their own non-profit called Living On One, taking their film on tour to students all around the United States. They were amazed by the amount of young people just like them who were searching for a way to make a difference. They even got to go back to Guatemala to share the film with the village to show how their story was inspiring people all over the world to create change. Its work like this that really makes a difference, bringing the reality of poverty and the worlds unethical class segregation into the homes of the masses. The good news is that together we can fix this, with a just a little bit of effort from all of us. Much love! Check out their amazing project HERE!

2	When This Liberal Student Refused To Stand For The Pledge Of Allegiance His Teacher Did This [VIDEO] According to recent reports, a 14-year-old student Fatima Smart has reported her teacher for bullying her after she refused to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. Smart claims that her Monadnock Regional Middle School teacher told her to leave the room and lectured her about patriotism after she refused to honor the flag. She kind of used me as an example in front of the class to say that, You have to stand for the flag salute, or you can be like Fatima and wait outside, Smart told reporters. She claims that she refused to stand for political reasons. I dont like our government at all, she continued. I think they are making mad decisions and I didnt stand. I dont like pretending to believe in something I dont believe in to please othersThey have their rights, and I have mine. Smart went on to issue a formal complaint against her teacher, but is yet to receive an apology from her. Her family believes that the teacher refuses to apologize because her father is a former military man. What do you think? Would you have done the same thing if you were the teacher? 
1	AUBURN, MEAfter serving the area for more than four decades, Parking Lot 2A lowered its moveable-arm gates for the last time Friday. The much-loved municipal parking lot is only the most recent casualty of Wal-Mart parking lots. Family-owned Lot 2A sits empty. A Wal-Mart Supercenter opened across from Lot 2A in October 2001. Comprising 80 public and 45 rental stalls, the city-owned lot charged $3 a day during its prime. However, city engineers report that over the past five years, 2A's clientele has steadily eroded, as more Auburn locals have opted for the convenience of the Wal-Mart lot. Locals in the Lewiston-Auburn region say the municipal lot's closure marks the end of a public-parking-space-rental era. 'Shutting down the lot was a hard decision to make,' said former parking-lot manager Blaine Gaffney, whose great-uncle Merle Wilson was the city public-works engineer who oversaw the construction of the lot in 1962. 'We were just breaking even as it was. Then along comes Wal-Mart, just giving away parking for free, and we simply couldn't keep up.' Run by three generations of attendants, Lot 2A offered locals a safe, accessible, low-cost setting to park their cars. 'We were proud of how we ran our parking lot,' said Gaffney, the walls of whose office were once decorated with photographs of lot staffers posing with loyal motorists and their cars. 'People came from all over the county to park here. We served a lot of good, hardworking people for four decades. Not a lot of people can say that these days.' When the final car left Friday evening, Gaffney likened Lot 2A to a nuclear test site. Gray and featureless, save for the odd crack in the concrete, and eerily quiet, the lot hardly seemed the place where WCSH-6 newscaster Bill Green once parked his Audi. Without question, Lot 2A's days of celebrity patronage are no more. 'When that lot was built 44 years ago, it took nearly a month of backbreaking work to get it into shape,' Gaffney said. 'My wife's dad and my cousins on my mom's side got down on their hands and knees to help smooth the concrete themselves. This new one, they just came in with some Mexicans and dumped the cement.' Gaffney added: 'Didn't take more than two days. Three, if you count painting the stall lines.' Despite Gaffney's grumbling contention that the Wal-Mart lot is 'built on a sinkhole,' it has been widely characterized as the parking place to beat. Boasting 1,000 spaces, state-of-the-art halogen light posts, clearly marked stalls, and small, concrete-hemmed islands of foliage, the Wal-Mart lot does have its advantages, locals report. 'With this new lot, there's no waiting, and it's free,' former municipal-lot patron Edwin 'Smokey' Thompson, 61, said. 'And there's always plenty of places.' Thompson added: 'Plus it's a lot closer to the Wal-Mart.' Some car owners are wistful about the transition. 'I'll miss the old lot,' Lewiston resident Christine Fink, 41, said. 'There were some oil stains, but there was character, and they always had a smile for you. It may not have been as level as the Wal-Mart lot, and it may have had puddles when it rained, but I still liked it.' To many Auburners, Lot 2A was a reminder of simpler times when people came to shop at the Ace Hardware store, or enjoyed a malt at Denny's. 'People had their favorite parking spots,' Gaffney said. 'It didn't matter that the paint had worn off. They just knew where to go because they had come so many times. Still, as soon as that new lot opened, people got suckered in by the price. But at the new lot, they don't know the drivers by name like we did.' Gaffney hopes to keep that personal touch alive in his new job as a cart collector at the Wal-Mart lot. 'I always say hello to everyone who drives through,' Gaffney said. 'I get strange looks, but in time they'll get used to it, maybe even learn my name. I certainly hope so, because I need this job.' Wal-Mart officials had no comment on Lot 2A's closure or whether unfair parking practices may have played a role in its demise. 'It is not the policy of Wal-Mart to comment on the activities of other businesses,' Wal-Mart spokesman Olan James said. 'We pride ourselves on our work with communities, and we hope that in time, people will come to embrace our parking lot as one of the family.' 
2	Nike Surrenders To Muslims In THIS Disgusting Way According to recent reports, Nike has just announced a recall of a range of sports shoes displaying a logo that received backlash from Muslims in America. The logo is question was designed to look like flames on a line of basketball shoes, and had names like Air Bakin, Air Melt and Air Grill. However, Muslims throughout the country protested the design, claiming that the logo looked very similar to the word Allah written in Arabic script. The problem was first identified by a Muslim distributor in September, and the logo was amended. The company made the decision to ban sales in the United States and Britain, and to offer an apology, after receiving pressure from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Now, CAIR is promising that they will stop Muslims around the world from banning Nike products. Nike has withdrawn 38,000 pairs of the shoes worldwide. We wanted to reinstate confidence in our community that whenever they see something offensive, there could be something done about it, Nihad Awas, CAIRs executive director said in a statement. As an extra bonus, Nike agreed to donate a playground amounting to $50,000 to an Islamic elementary school in the United States. We have, through this process, developed a deeper understanding of Islamic concerns and Islamic issues, Roy Agostino for Nike told reporters. As our brand continues to expand, we have to deepen our awareness of other world communities. What do you think of Nikes controversial decision?

3	Obamacare Success: Half of Georgias Insurance Enrollees Fail to Make Monthly PaymentMac Slavo Heres a small glimpse into just how successful Obamacare has been. In Georgia, where some 650,000 people are eligible for subsidies only about 220,000 applications have thus far been received. So, to start, were about 70% short on the originally estimated sign up rate. Even more successful than that, however, is that of those 220,000 received applications Georgia Health News reports that at least half of the applicants have failed to actually pay their monthly premiums even though most of those people are being subsidized by the government to some extent. Georgia insurers received more than 220,000 applications for health coverage in the Affordable Care Acts exchange as of the official federal deadline of March 31, state officials said Wednesday. Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens, though, said premiums have been received for only 107,581 of those policies, which cover 149,465 people. Many Georgians completed the application process by the deadline, but have yet to pay for the coverage, Hudgens said in a statement Wednesday. Earlier this year it was noted that there would be a near instantaneous collapse of Obamacare services stemming from the fact that the system itself is predicated on the notion of having one group of people pay for the insurance of those in need. Well, when those people who have money fail to even sign up, let alone make payments, then those receiving full or partial subsidies will not be putting enough money back into the scheme to cover the overall costs. Karl Denninger explains how this arithmetic works: 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. We realize that Common Core standards may have made it difficult for Obamacare proponents to work out the basic mathematics of it, but regardless of how you approach the problem, the answer always results in an unsustainable business model. This isnt just theoretical. The data from Georgia shows this phenomenon taking place in the real world right here and now. What it all boils down to is this: Obamacare is dead in the water in less than a year and will require a massive overhaul or outright repeal. As democrat Congressman Stephen Lynch pointed out on Boston Herald Radio last week, its only going to get worse from here and we should fully expect it to hit the fan in short order: There are parts of Obamacare that have been postponed because they are unpalatable. As these provisions come into effect the administration thus far is saying we really cant handle this right now so were gonna delay it. These obligations keep piling up its going to hit the fan. [] Thats a huge tax. Itll be the first time in this countrys history that we have actually taxed health care. We used to treat it like food that people would die without it dont tax that. Well, were in a new day now. [] I think itll be impossible for a repeal right now Youve taken on 31 million new people youre trying to provide health care for them. The problem has always been paying for it. Youve got to rely on the other individuals who already have health care to pay for that. This is what happens when you pass the bill without first reading the bill. You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com, where this first appeared.

1	As the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat prepare to face off in Tuesdays Game 6 matchup, a group of NBA experts reportedly ruled out all of the things that the Finals will not come down to, including library books, the 1991 action-comedy film Hudson Hawk, and mail. For all the chatter thats surrounding tonights contest, when everythings said and done, pens, John Cheever, and whether ferns require direct sunlight just arent going to come into play, said NBA On ABC analyst Mike Breen, while systematically listing every single person, place, object, event, and concept that likely would not impact the pivotal championship game in the end, such as ocelots, the Stockholm School of economic thought, and rice noodles. The fact is, after that final whistle blows, sea levels, cotton, Minsk, cell phone data plans, faucets, Incan burial rites, selenium, ribbon, bulldozers, light-emitting diodes, romaine lettuce, spelling, napkins, sustainable design, Space Shuttle Endeavor, gravel, the Frankfurt Auto Show, pumpkin recipes, chairs, strategic petroleum reserves, Erik Spoelstras coaching ability, interstate commerce, hiking trails of the Great Smoky Mountains, acoustics, the deceptions of nostalgia, tunnels, wheat, and Peter Gabriels Sledgehammer video just wont have been a factor on the court. This isnt the Western Conference Finals were talking about, after all. Though at press time Breen and his colleagues were just three hours into enumerating those things that would not influence the outcome of Game 6, sources close to the analysts have confirmed that the commentators are also planning on cataloging the things that will in fact affect the matchup, a far shorter list that consists solely of the Spurs and Heat rosters, how well these players perform, and Spanish Colonial architecture. 
3	6 ways Monsanto is destroying humanityMick Meaney Its the largest manufacturer of products which include genetically engineered seed and the herbicide glyphosate. Apart from the genetically produced seed, they have also been known to produce chemicals such as DDT, PCBs, Agent Orange and bovine growth hormone among others. It has been given the name merchant of death by many groups that informthe sleepwalking masses aboutthe dangers of using Monsantoproducts. So lets take a look at just 6 ways Monsanto is destroying humanity: 1. Harmful GMO They produce genetically engineered seeds which are used to grow corn which is then fed to cows with the intention of increasing their mass. GMOs are harmful since they have been known to cause cancer; therefore, Monsanto has become a promoter of cancer. They produce chemicals which are harmful and are sprayed on plants which eventually find their way onto the tables of many families. These chemicals poison our bodily organs which eventually leads to death. 3. Promoters of Deforestation and desertification Monsanto clears huge tracts of forest in order to set up their farms. This means they promote deforestation which eventually leads to desertification. As years go by with this kind of practice there will be no land to produce food which will lead to hunger and finally death. 4. Poisoning the water table They produce synthetic nitrogen fertilizer which when sprayed on their farms is absorbed by the soil making its way to the water table. This has poisoned over two thirds of US drinking water with nitrate poisoning. Apart from poisoning drinking water, the chemicals make their way to the oceans which has led to oceanic dead zones. Examples include the Gulf of Mexico and Chesapeake bay among others. 5. Wetland and Rainforest Destroyers Monsantos model of draining wetlands and cutting down rainforests is a big promoter of destructive greenhouse gases (within the official paradigm Ed.). Argentina is one of the victims of Monsantos rainforest destruction where they have planted genetically engineered soy. The destruction of the rainforest has led to destruction of animal and plant life that depend on the forest. 6. Generating new animal and human diseases Glyphosate, one of the chemicals produced by Monsanto with the intention of killing pests has found to be a contributor to new diseases in both humans and animals. The chemical, when sprayed on plants, kills the useful bacteria and leads to the formation of virulent pathogens which are introduced in the body when one consumes the food. These pathogens have led to infertility and miscarriages in animals and soon humans. Notes: You can read more from Mick Meaney at his site RINF.com, where this first appeared.

1	The bench-clearing brawl during last weeks exhibition game between the Georgetown Hoyas and Chinas Bayi Rockets was merely the latest incident in a long-simmering conflict between Asias most powerful country and the college basketball team, historians confirmed Monday. Tensions between the two have been mounting ever since then-coach Buddy OGrady came out against Mao Tse-tung and the Chinese Revolution of 1949, said Georgetown professor Anthony DelDonna, adding that Allen Iversons visit to Taiwan in 1994, during which the point guard officially recognized the sovereignty of the island state, brought the communist nation and the college to the brink of all-out war. The only surprise is that anybody made it out of this basketball game alive. The Chinese spent much of the 1980s trying to assassinate Patrick Ewing. Though further conflicts may be temporarily averted by Georgetown coach John Thompson III and Chinese president Hu Jintaos agreement to let U.N. peacekeepers officiate games, intelligence reports indicate the Hoyas are now only six months away from completing their first nuclear weapon. 
3	Study: Beginning of the Longest Period of Economic Decline in American HistoryMac Slavo But, as the best and brightest of the financial world like to say, past performance is not a guarantee of future results. According to a demographic study from economists at Cornell University and the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation, the recovery that many Americans believe is taking hold right now may not actually be happening. In fact, it could take another 30 years or more Keep in mind that the study takes into account only the demographic factors over the next several decades and does not include additional government taxation, currency devaluation, and overall global economic supply demand factors. The next few decades could be uncharacteristically bleak, according to a new study. [] Demographic factors which have largely aided the U.S. economy in the past could end up pushing incomes down for the next 30 years or more.If other factors dont force incomes up, we may be at the beginning of the longest period of economic decline in American history. [] These trends alone could reduce the median income by 0.43 percentage points per year between now and 2020, 0.52 points per year between 2020 and 2030, and 0.2 points per year between 2030 and 2040. Those numbers might sound small, but over time they would add up to a significant loss of purchasing power for the typical American and a long era of decline for the nation as a whole. A typical worker earning $50,000 today would earn only about $48,400 by 2020 if his or her income fell by the amounts projected in the study. The workers income would fall to about $45,900 in 2030, $45,000 in 2040 and to less than $44,000 in 2050. In a society built upon consumer power and the idea that succeeding generations leap ahead of preceding onesrather than fall behind themfour decades of falling incomes could be catastrophic. The study only makes income projections relating to demographic changes. Other changes could either offset those income declines, or exacerbate them. Future tax hikes or cutbacks in Social Securitysome combination of which seems likely, to deal with mounting government debtwould reduce income even more, for instance. Its no secret that the middle class is dying a slow and horrible death, which willultimately lead to impoverishment of the majority of our population. As of right now 100 million Americans are already living at or near poverty and this is supposed to be an economic recovery! The study notes that if youre making $50,000 today, youd be making $45,000 by 2040. And again, this analysis is based strictly on demographic changes. Now take into account the continued and inevitable destruction of the US dollar. Over the last hundred years, since the establishment of the Federal Reserve, the US dollar has lost over 95% of its value. In another 30 years we can expect a further devaluation, if not an all out collapse. That reduces your purchasing power another 30% or so. In the future, youll be paying $10 for a gallon of gas or milk, but making less money. And that purchasing power decrease doesnt even take into account the increased demand on global resources for economies like China, India, Russia, and Brazil, which are adding more strain on supplies of oil and food commodities. Supply and demand alone will drive prices higher. Finally, as the government (local, state, and federal) goes deeper into the hole, we can fully expect a number of austerity measures that will include increased taxation on individuals (think Obamacare, which has been officially labeled a tax by the U.S. Supreme Court), cuts in benefits like social security disability, and increased regulatory fees and burdensome mandates on businesses. Everything that is being done right now is working against us, on almost every level. While there may be positive swings in economic growth, wages or real estate prices throughout the next thirty years, the reality is that Americans will continue to get poorer, until there is no middle class left. We often look to the Third World for an idea of what real poverty looks like, but we dont have to do that anymore. This trend is now taking shape in the United States, and well soon see slums like those in Detroit (pictured below) springing up all over the country to house the tens of millions of people who will be affected by this collapse over coming years. If we can weather the storm without riots, rebellion and bloodshed itll be a miracle. Read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com where this first appeared. 
2	Donald Trump Calling For A Ban Of This Major Brand According to reports from Fox Business, Donald Trump has just called for a massive boycott of Apple. The call to action comes after the company refused to unencrypt iPhones used by the San Bernardino shooters. There is no doubt that the phones could provide investigators with serious insight into the terror plot, but many have criticized the request for its privacy implications and the precedent it might set in the future. First of all, Apple ought to give the security for that phone, Trump told attendees at a rally in South Carolina on Friday. What I think you ought to do is boycott Apple until such time as they give that security numberwho do they think they are? What do you think? Do you agree with Trump or is his request unrealistic?

2	BREAKING: The View Fires Host for Being Too Conservative and ChristianThen This Happens The View has once again made an outrageous decisionand the American public is fed up. The show has a history of firing hosts for being too conservative. Now, the program has set their sights on firing their latest Christian Republican host. According to reports, sources say that host Paula Faris is on the edge of being cut from the morning talk show. ABC News did research and Paula scored some of the lowest numbers ever that the network had seen, one source told reports. ABC News was hoping she would bring a more conservative perspective to the show because shes a conservative Christian. But she doesnt own her opinions and the audience never connects with anyone whos pretending. Clearly, executives dont realize that conveying conservative opinions in the company of Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar is near impossible. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	Just weeks after safely handing off his legacy to historians and retiring as one of the most beloved sports figures in recent memory, Packer legend Brett Favre decided to make one last desperate heave for glory by signing with the New York Jets. 'If I've learned one thing in my life, it's that sometimes you just have to put everything you got into one last desperate hurl for it all,' Favre said after agreeing to a one year, $12 million Hail Mary contract. 'I just thought I'd take everything I've come to represent, whip it as far and as fast as I could, and see who came down with it.' Favre did not comment on whether or not he considered signing with the Jets to be a successful completion of his career or life. 
1	According to estimates, roughly one-third of a billion Indian citizens were left without power Wednesday after workers successfully repaired the nation's electrical grid and brought all of its systems back online. 'Since restoring our infrastructure to 100 percent capacity following Monday and Tuesday's blackouts, vast swaths of India are now completely without access to electricity,' said the country's power minister, Veerappa Moily, who confirmed that three out of every four residents lacked access to such basic amenities as lighting, food refrigeration, and the use of simple appliances now that the country's grid had fully recovered. 'We are currently not monitoring the situation, as everything appears to be functioning normally again in India.' Government officials also stated that the widespread power outage had in no way compromised their ability to provide adequate sanitation to 31 percent of India's citizens.

1	After repeatedly gorging itself on marine sea life for more than seven years, a severely obese chinook salmon told reporters Wednesday he had grown too overweight to swim upstream and reproduce. I used to be able to swim hundreds of miles to my natal stream, the male salmon said as he recovered in a brackish estuary after swimming several feet against the current and growing fatigued. But now Im so fat I cant even leap out of the water to overcome a natural obstacle. And when I try, my fins are super sore for a couple days. Could you give me a second? I need to rest until this stitch in my side goes away, the overweight anadromous fish added. According to sources, minimal efforts to maintain a healthy body weight and remain attractive to spawning female salmon, along with years of binge-eating and late-night snacking on crustaceans, have finally caught up with the portly fish. I mean, I try to swim every day, said the salmon, gasping for oxygen and lamenting his lack of gill capacity. But I never could cut all those fattening Pacific herring out of my diet. I guess Im paying for it now. Using an abstruse process of geomagnetic navigation that remains a mystery to scientists, the salmon is reportedly still able to home in on the same riverine drainage from which he hatched many years ago, but traversing the thousands of feet of elevation gain required to complete the journey has proven daunting for the flabby, out-of-shape fish. I wish some female would just come down here and let me externally fertilize her eggs so I wouldnt have to swim all the way up to the goddamn headwaters, the salmon said. Not that any female would let me deposit sperm on her roe anyway. What kind of salmon gets stuck in rapids, for Gods sake? the chinook continued. A fat one, apparently. A big, fat, ugly salmon. In years prior, before reaching his current body mass, the salmon would have traveled more than 900 miles upstream to Idaho; today, however, the fishs frame is so encumbered by excess weight that he becomes winded after a few minutes of wagging his caudal fin in the water. My olfactory glands tell me I need to keep moving, but my body says otherwise, said the salmon, heaving his 160-pound body through a shallow. How much further do I have? Am I almost there? This is really embarrassing. Im so beat that I probably dont even have enough stamina to release my milt, the pudgy fish added. Salmon are not the only animals in the riparian ecosystem afflicted with obesity. One local grizzly bear, who subsists on salmon during the annual run, told reporters he is now too overweight to catch the fish as they migrate upstream. These little suckers are fast, said the 1,300-pound male grizzly, resting on his haunches and breathing heavily. Im just going to wait by the waters edge and hope they leap by my face.

Ironically, that is the polar opposite of the most transparent administration that he once promised the American people. Now, a list of Obamas lies over the past seven years has gone publicand its almost laughable. Here are the top 5 lies our president has told us: 1) My position hasnt changed on executive authority to address immigration years. What do you think? Is this administration a joke? 
2	Man Who Plastered Mosque With Bacon Looks At Life In Prison According to recent reports, a Florida man is facing life in prison for a mosque bacon attack. The Brevard County man attacked a mosque using raw bacon and a machete. Now, he is facing life in prison as a result of the added hate crime enhancement. The 35-year-old was charged with armed burglary of a structure and criminal mischief of a place of worship in connection with the break in and desecration of the Islamic Society of Central Florida Masjid Al-Munin Mosque in Titusville. It is believed that Wolfe acted alone, breaking into the empty mosque with a machete, slashing at windows and leaving behind a slab of raw bacon in and around the front door. The surveillance video shoes Wolfe dressed in camouflage and carrying a backpack as he steps into the carport. Meanwhile, Mohamed Mohamud attempted to commit mass murder at a Christmas Tree lighting ceremony. At that point, he was given thirty years in prison. At the time of sentencing, his lawyers called the punishment draconian. As Robert Spencer wrote, this indicates yet again that Muslims in the U.S. are rapidly becoming a protected class. This attack is just one of several acts of vandalism reported at Islamic centers across the country this yeardrawing attention from groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Our charging decisions confirm how seriously we take crimes of this nature, State Attorney Phil Archer told reporters. When further investigation shows a crime is clearly hate-motivated, it will not be tolerated. Formal charges were filed against Wolf earlier this month, after the state attorneys office reviewed the case. Wolfe could face life in prison if found guilty on the armed burglary charge. What do you think? Is this a ridiculously extreme response? Are you tired of this double standard?

3	Should We Just Follow Orders? Rules of Engagement for Resisting the Police StateJohn W. Whitehead The perils of resisting the police state grow more costly with each passing day, especially if you hope to escape with your life and property intact. The thing you must remember is that weve entered an age of militarized police in which were no longer viewed as civilians but as enemy combatants. Take, for example, Mary Elizabeth VandenBerg who was charged with disturbing the peace, a crime punishable by up to 93 days in jail and a $500 fine, for daring to vocalize her frustrations over a traffic ticket by reading a prepared statement to the court clerk and paying her $145 traffic ticket with 145 one-dollar bills. VandenBerg was also handcuffed, tasered and pepper sprayed for passively resisting police by repeatedly stopping and talking to them and stiffening her arms. The incident, filmed by VandenBergs brother, is now the subject of a lawsuit. Zachary Noel was tasered by police and charged with resisting arrest after he questioned why he was being ordered out of his truck during a traffic stop. Because Im telling you to, the officer replied before repeating his order for Noel to get out of the vehicle and then, without warning, shooting him with a taser through the open window. The encounter, recorded with a cell phone by Noels friend in the passenger seat, offers a particularly chilling affirmation of how little recourse Americans really have when it comes to obeying an order from a government official or police officer, even if its just to ask a question or assert ones rights. Eighteen-year-old Keivon Young was shot seven times by police from behind while urinating outdoors. Young was just zipping up his pants when he heard a commotion behind him and then found himself struck by a hail of bullets from two undercover cops. Despite the fact that the officers mistook Young54, 135 lbs., and guilty of nothing more than taking a leak outdoorsfor a 6 tall, 200 lb. murder suspect whom they later apprehended, the young man was charged with felony resisting arrest and two counts of assaulting a peace officer. What these incidents make clear is that anything short of compliance will now get you charged with any of the growing number of contempt charges (ranging from resisting arrest and interference to disorderly conduct, obstruction, and failure to obey a police order) that get trotted out anytime a citizen voices discontent with the government or challenges or even questions the authority of the powers that beand thats the best case scenario. The worst case scenario involves getting probed, poked, pinched, tasered, tackled, searched, seized, stripped, manhandled, arrested, shot, or killed. So what can you really do when you find yourself at the mercy of law enforcement officers who have almost absolute discretion to decide who is a threat, what constitutes resistance, and how harshly they can deal with the citizens they were appointed to serve and protect? In other words, what are the rules of engagement when it comes to interacting with the police? If you want to play it safe, comply and do whatever a police officer tells you to do. Dont talk back. Dont threaten. And dont walk away. In other words, dont do anything that even hints at resistance. Keep in mind, however, that this is not a fail-safe plan, especially not in an age where police officers tend to shoot first and ask questions later, oftentimes based only on their highly subjective feeling of being threatened, and are reprimanded with little more than a slap on the wrist. Indeed, the news is riddled with reports of individuals who didnt resist when confronted by police and still got tasered, tackled or shot simply because they looked at police in a threatening manner or moved in a way that made an officer fear for his safety. For example, Levar Edward Jones was shot by a South Carolina police officer during a routine traffic stop over a seatbelt violation as he was in the process of reaching for his license and registration. The trooper justified his shooting of the unarmed man by insisting that Jones reached for his license aggressively. If compliance isnt quite your cup of teaand wed be far better off as a nation if we were far less compliantthen youve got a few more options ranging from legal-but-sure-to-annoy-an-officer to legal-but-it-could-get-you-arrested to legal-but-it-could-get-you-shot. If this is warand a good case could be made for the fact that the government is indeed waging a war on the American citizenrythen the tactics Im about to outline could be considered nonviolent guerilla warfare, using whatever strategic, legal, creative and nonviolent means are available in order to outmaneuver an opponentin our case, the American police forcewhose language is the language of force. To begin with, and most importantly, Americans need to know their rights when it comes to interactions with the police, bearing in mind that many law enforcement officials are largely ignorant of the law themselves. In a nutshell, here are your basic rights when it comes to interactions with the police as outlined in the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution: You have the right under the First Amendment to ask questions and express yourself. You have the right under the Fourth Amendment to not have your person or your property searched by police or any government agent unless they have a search warrant authorizing them to do so. You have the right under the Fifth Amendment to remain silent and not incriminate yourself. You have the right under the Sixth Amendment to request an attorney. Depending on which state you live in and whether your encounter with police is consensual as opposed to your being temporarily detained or arrested, you may have the right to refuse to identify yourself. Presently, 26 states do not require citizens to show their ID to an officer (drivers in all states must do so, however). Knowing your rights is only part of the battle, unfortunately. The hard part comes in when you have to exercise those rights in order to hold government officials accountable to respecting those rights. As a rule of thumb, you should always be sure to clarify in any police encounter whether or not you are being detained, i.e., whether you have the right to walk away. That holds true whether its a casual show your ID request on a boardwalk, a stop-and-frisk search on a city street, or a traffic stop for speeding or just to check your insurance. As I point out in my book A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State, if you feel like you cant walk away from a police encounter of your own volitionand more often than not you cant, especially when youre being confronted by someone armed to the hilt with all manner of militarized weaponry and gearthen for all intents and purposes, youre essentially under arrest from the moment a cop stops you. Still, it doesnt hurt to clarify that distinction, as Kahler Nygard learned. Nygard was threatened with arrest for failing to comply with an order by TSA agents to undergo additional screening after flying with no incident from Minneapolis to his final destination in Denver. It turns out that Nygard, at one time a vocal critic of the government, had been placed on a special list requiring him to undergo extra airport screening. When airport officials realized that they had failed to carry out the additional screening prior to Nygards departure, they attempted to cover their mistake by screening him once he landed. To the annoyance of the government agent, Nygardwho filmed the entire encounterrepeatedly asked the agent whether he was being detained or not. Once he deduced that the TSA had no legal rationale for detaining him, Nygard walked away without incident. The encounter might have ended far differently had a police officer been standing nearby, however. Another important takeaway from Nygards experience is to record your encounter with police. While technology is always going to be a double-edged sword, with the gadgets that are the most useful to us in our daily livesGPS devices, cell phones, the internetbeing the very tools used by the government to track us, monitor our activities, and generally spy on us, cell phones are particularly useful for recording encounters with the police and have proven to be increasingly powerful reminders to police that they are not all powerful. No matter what individual police officers might say to the contrary, members of the public have a First Amendment right to record police interactions, as the Justice Department recognized in a 2012 memorandum acknowledging that recording governmental officers engaged in public duties is a form of speech through which private individuals may gather and disseminate information of public concern, including the conduct of law enforcement officers. That said, there may still be consequences for filming the police, as Fred Marlow learned the hard way. Marlow was charged with interfering and resisting arrest, and fined $5,000 for daring to film a SWAT team raid that took place across the street from his apartment. Marlow was asleep when he heard what sounded like multiple bombs blasting and glass breaking. Rushing outside to investigate, Marlow filmed police officers dressed in army green camouflage standing beside an armored vehicle, in the process of carrying out a SWAT team raid to serve a search warrant (more than 80,000 such raids take place every year in the U.S. for such routine police procedures as serving search warrants). Ordered to return inside or face arrest for interference, Marlow explained that he was on his own property and could be outside. He was subsequently arrested. One popular alternative to citizens filming police encounters is having the police wear body cameras, which have been proven to decrease the number of use-of-force incidents and citizen complaints when used properly. Unfortunately, given that they can be turned off as easily as they are turned on, these devices are also ripe for abuse, not to mention the fact that they are privacy-threatening, roving extensions of the surveillance state whose cameras are conveniently pointed at us, not them. Clearly, the language of freedom is no longer the common tongue spoken by the citizenry and their government. With the government having shifted into a language of force, we the people have been reduced to suspects in a surveillance state, criminals in a police state, and enemy combatants in a military empire. In such an environment, as every resistor from Martin Luther King Jr. and on down the line has learned, there is always a price to be paid for challenging the status quo. Then again, the price for not challenging the status quo is even worse: outright tyranny, the loss of our freedoms, and a totalitarian regime the likes of which the world has never seen before. Constitutional attorney and author John W. Whitehead is founder and president of The Rutherford Institute. He is the author of A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State andThe Change Manifesto. 
1	Playground sources told reporters Thursday that 10-year-old oddball Scott Corello always pretends to be utility infielder Mark DeRosa during baseball games with friends and confirmed that the versatile Washington Nationals player is the little weirdos all-time favorite big leaguer. Whenever Scott plays with us, hes always saying that he wants to switch from second base to third or shortstop so he can be just like this guy Mark DeRosa, said 11-year-old Ethan Abramson, adding that the spaz once drew a seven on his shirt with a marker to have the same number as DeRosa. A lot of times hell just sit out and wait for somebody in the field to get tired so he can sub in and shore up the defense like DeRosa would. Hes such a little freak. At press time, Corello was reportedly mimicking DeRosas batting style by hitting line-drive singles to left field. 
1	According to a source close to Pierce Brosnan, the former James Bond actor felt affronted by the performance of Daniel Craig in the latest Bond film, Casino Royale. 'Pierce just felt that he should have carried his gun in such a way that people knew it was James Bond they were dealing with, and not some 'first-year Bobby who doesn't know the first difference between an Aston Martin that transforms into a snowmobile and one that turns into a submarine,'' said the source, who added that Brosnan said the Bond girl bedded by Craig may have appeared attracted to him, but he could tell she was faking it. 'Pierce felt the performance was amateur and that in general the film lacked a certain je ne sais quoi.' Former Bond actor Roger Moore reportedly agreed with Brosnan's assessment and added that, while he was glad to see someone other than Timothy Dalton in the role, no actor has delivered the pithy elegance befitting 007 since 1979's Moonraker. 
3	Stasi Puts Halt on Raw Milk Bill in NevadaBrad Jordan The FDA, USDA, and the monopolistic dairy processors they prop up rejoiced after a raw milk bill was defeated in Nevada earlier this month. Thanks to Governor Sandovals veto June 6, the people of that state will be deprived of one of natures most nourishing foods. After receiving overwhelming support, with a 40-0 vote in the House and 17-5 in the Senate, the governor still decided he had to red-light the bill. To understand why this would happen, one must follow da money. All it takes is a little pressure from the bigger big brother (federal government) and most politicians crumble, just like the spineless Sandoval did. The governor said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the American Medical Association (AMA) and his own state health official agreed that Assembly Bill 209 presents significant public health risks. The only problem the bill presents is to the dairy processors, who want a cheap raw product to add value to (pasteurize) and profit from. Isnt Nevada the state where prostitution and gambling are legal? This guy is afraid of raw milk, but not all of the diseases caused by casual sexual encounters. Hes not worried about the publics health. No, hes worried he might make the FDA mad, or, more importantly, their string pullers. The agencies that limit your choice The FDA and AMA are two of the slimiest agencies in government. The AMA which has looked to cartelize the health industry for the last 150 years doesnt want people to find out food can be their medicine, because if they did, doctors wouldnt be in such high demand. Why would they do that, you might be asking? Well, food processors dairy processors included dont want to be cut out of the equation. They want the government to guarantee their jobs as middlemen in the guise of food safety. They own the health boards and regulatory boards, get subsidies from the government, and plan your diet. You dont decide what to eat. They do, and they dont want any dissenters saying their food is bad, even if it is. Its fascism, plain and simple. Mussolini would be proud. These processors dont want you or their competition to have freedom of speech, food freedom, or freedom in general. The plutocrats in DC tow the line, happily knowing their coffers will be stuffed with money from Big Food come election time. Your corporate overlords want you to be good tax slaves that do what they say, eat what they tell you, and never question the propaganda theyre spreading. Who are these bastards? you might be asking. Oh, you know, Pepsi, Kelloggs, Nestle, Dean Foods, etc. Pretty much any big name brand you can think of thats in the mega-lo-marts of the world today. And these same companies lobby the FDA and other government agencies to keep their food oligarchy going. Speaking of the FDA, theyre responsible for more than 100,000 deaths per year. Thats right more than 100,000 people die each year from the pharmaceutical drugs the FDA rubberstamps as safe. So Governor, youre telling me you trust these agencies to tell the truth about raw milk? The FDA has more hits under their belt than former Iraq president Saddam Hussein and you want me to trust what they say? Time to step forward No thanks. Raw milk is a pure, whole, healing food that has been trusted for thousands of years across the globe. When cows spend their lives on sunny pastures, where the grass is bountiful, theres no need to pasteurize their milk and kill all the beneficial bacteria. Its been through exhaustive studies and science is on our side. Its safe, and even if it werent, I dont need the government telling me what I can or cannot eat .As my 21-month-old daughter says, Nuf is enough. We need someone to come forward in these agencies, just like Edward Snowden did in the NSA. We need someone in the FDA with Snowdens guts and courage to alert the American people to the unholy alliance controlling our food supply. Sound the alarm! Raise the red flag! Government is the one stealing your liberty. It tells you what to eat, what to read (in government prisons, I mean schools) and now knows when youre even thinking about something they dont want you thinking about (envision the NSA watching each word you type and delete as you compose a blog post or email). America is the new Berlin, fitted with a state-of-the-art spying agency that makes the Communist Stasis look like chumps. Who, in these corrupt, anti-freedom organizations, like the FDA and AMA, is going to step forward and admit theyre part of a fascist cause to undermine the free markets and limit consumer choice? Its not about safety, never has been Forget the idea of safety because government couldnt care less about it. The oh-so-caring FDA approves drugs that have killed more than a million people. Its not about safety. Its about control. Government doesnt want you to find out what parts of your lives theyre controlling though. It just wants you to be good serfs. If you challenge what the plutocrats say, then its lock-up time, or youll just disappear. Just ask Bradley Manning. He exposed the government for murdering innocent people in Iraq. Did he receive a Medal of Honor for bringing this story to the light of day? No, he was thrown in a cage, solitary confinement style. And now Edward Snowden has gone missing in Hong Kong, and farmers are facing jail time for selling milk. I mean what is going on? Ask James Stewart, from Rawesome Foods, how loving and caring your benevolent government is. Uniformed gang members from Americas mafia kicked in his doors, destroyed his food, and threw him in a cage. For what? Selling real food, thats what. Oh no, the horror of selling real, nutrient-dense food to people who actually want it. If someone wants something especially something good for him then what the hell is the problem? Purchasing raw milk is a mutually beneficial agreement between two consenting people. Hookers, gambling, and booze are okay? But raw milk is bad. Has the world gone mad? Im not saying booze and hookers should be illegal, but neither should, as they call it in the underground, white gold. I want answers Sandoval! What about Mark Baker, from Bakers Green Acres? State officials embargoed him and his farm for selling feral swine, even though none of his pigs have ever been found in the wild, which almost brought his way of life to an end. This was done by the hands of Department of Natural Resources, an unelected group of busybody scum that are supposed to be in charge of wildlife, not farm life. The food oligarchs are always looking for ways to supersede the elected representatives. Its just easier to pay off unelected bureaucrats, who cant be held responsible for their actions and who stay in power term after term, saweeet. Or what about Vernon Hershberger, who was recently acquitted by a jury of his peers for selling raw milk illegally? The state wasnt satisfied with the jurys decision. They have a thirst for blood and looked to jail him for disobeying an arbitrary holding order from 2010, even after he was acquitted. The state is a sore loser and exacts revenge anyway it can. Whenever anyone steps forward and breaks the law because its morally wrong, someone else, usually from the government, says, it doesnt matter whether the law is moral, its there for our safety. Hogwash, I say back to them. Its an illusion, a false sense of security. Theyre not protecting you; theyre protecting themselves and their corporate interests. If any of the above are guilty of crimes, then so is Rosa Parks. And if thats the case, America is as far gone as the sheeple who occupy it. Brad Jordan hosts a podcast called Food Riot Radio. He and his co-host Sara Burrows work to expose how a collusion between government, big agriculture, big pharma and big food has determined what ends up on our plates and offer ideas for how to fight back. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	Students Take Extreme Measures To Defy Principal Who Banned The American Flag At School Recently, we reported that four students from a South Carolina High School faced consequences after making the decision to remember 9/11 by flying flags on their trucks. Instead, the flags were confiscated, and not returned until the end of the day. According to the principal, the flags were taken down because they violated a rule about drawing attention to a vehicle. Students and parents are not buying this excuse, and feel that the actions were unacceptable. As a result, theyve decide to protest to stand up for their students rights. According to recent reports, parents and local citizens showed up outside the campus to wave American flags, while cars drove by the school with flags attached to them. The event was announced on Facebook, in post that read: Please come out Monday morning and stand up for our students rights and our rights! 7:50 a.m. Sidewalk in front of high school. Bring an American flag with you!! What do you think? Do you support the parents of this school standing up for their childrens rights? Would you have done the same? 
1	MISTER ROGERS' NEIGHBORHOOD, PAA plan to radically redistrict Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood to further cement the control of the powerful King Friday XIII political machine is expected to pass this week and deeply affect current taxation structure, voting patterns, and services. 'Meow-me-meow can't afford meow property tax as it stands now meow, and meow don't want everything I've worked for to be destroyed meow,' said one resident, who asked to remain anonymous. Among the anticipated changes are sharp cutbacks in speedy deliveries, the elimination of trolley routes to such low-income districts as Someplace Else and the platypus mound, as well as the destruction of the Museum-Go-Round to make room for a massive new headquarters for The Electric Company. 
2	14 Women Claim To Have Been Sexually Abused By Bill Clinton CNN political contributor Errol Louis stirred controversy last week when he reported that a total of 14 women have accused former President Bill Clinton of sexual abuse, ranging from harassment to rape. After what weve seen with Bill Cosby and with old accusations, there are about 14 women who could be said to have made claims at one time or another, Louis claimed. Among these women is Paula Jones, who accused Clinton of harassment. Not only did Clinton dish out $850,000 to settle the case, Clinton was impeached and lost his license to practice law in Arkansas. And we already know that Clinton does not shy away from covering up the truth. That was abundantly clear in the case of Gennifer Flowers and Monica Lewinsky. Clinton lied under oath on three different occasions when he was asked about the affair with Lewinsky. What do you think? Do the Clintons need to stay far away from the White House? 
1	Delighting fans of the popular 90s sitcom, producers at ABC announced Tuesday that Cory Matthews, Topanga Lawrence, and other beloved characters from Boy Meets World will soon return to the small screen in Girl Meets World, an hour-long drama that centers on the couple as they struggle to raise a severely autistic daughter. Children of the 90s rejoice: Cory and Topanga are back and better than ever as the parents of 13-year-old Riley, an autistic teenager whose debilitating disabilities prevent her from fitting in with peers, understanding basic instructions, or showing any affection for her parents whatsoever, executive producer Michael Jacobs said of the new show, in which the family also copes with long periods of unemployment, their daughters medical expenses, and the loss of Pvt. Eric Matthews in the Afghanistan War. Were thrilled that Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel will reprise their roles from the original series, as both are skilled performers capable of portraying the deep personal anguish that will follow their characters as they navigate the harsh realities of 21st-century American life. Jacobs also confirmed that noted character actor William Daniels would return to the series as retired educator George Feeny, who has been admitted to hospice care after developing Alzheimers disease. 
3	2013: The Year of the CometsNicholas West In the midst of our busy lives its difficult to keep in mind that we reside on a ballthatscorkscrewingthrough space around a ball of gas called our sun, which is also sweeping through our galaxy. The ancients didnt have distractions like TVs and the Internet. They looked to the sky for clues and guidance for life on Earth, and comets brought mythology of angry gods and instilled fear in them. Strangely, in more modern times, comets have been associated with actual dark events. According to NASA: The Romans recorded that a fiery comet marked the assassination of Julius Caesar, and another was blamed for the extreme bloodshed during the battle between Pompey and Caesar. In England, Halleys Comet was blamed for bringing the Black Death. The Incas, in South America, even record a comet having foreshadowed Francisco Pizarros arrival just days before he brutally conquered them. So what are we to make of the possibility of two Great Comets flying by Earth in 2013? Astronomers have discovered two new comets that are fast approaching our planet and have the potential to be Great Comets. One might be bright enough to be seen in the day and the other is projected to become one of the brightest in history and possibly outshine the Moon. The first comet, named C/2011 L4 (PANSTARRS), is expected to make its arrival in March 2013. According to astronomers, it will be potentially visible to the naked eye low in the western horizon just after sunset and also has the potential that it may be visible during the day. Richard Wainscoat, an astronomer at the University of Hawaii who co-discovered the comet, claims there is no danger of collision with Earth but admits since we dont have a lot of data on it, we really dont know the orbit well enough right now. The second comet, the one which could possibly outshine the Moon, was only just discovered this September and is called2012 S1 (ISON). Astronomers predict current orbital predictions indicate the comet will look brightest to us in the weeks just after its closest approach to the sun, on November 28, 2013. Comet ISON may be visible for the last two months of the year as well as early 2014 and is the more likely of the two to be a spectacular event: This comet is considered to be larger than most at 3 kilometers wide (roughly 2 miles) adding to the anticipation of its arrival. It, too, may be visible during the day according to astronomers. The last Great Comet highly visible from Earth, Hale-Bopp, arrived 16 years ago in 1997. So we are long overdue considering the average of one-per-decade. Although very little major news occurred in 1997, the last 16 years have been perhaps the most tumultuous in human history from 9/11 and the war on terror to a devastating financial collapse, both of which have still not peaked. Astronomers are cautious not to make wild predictions about approaching comets, always adding the caveat that they never really know how comets will react as they get closer to the sun. Yet, it does seem significant that 2013 may have two Great Comets. Will one of them be a Harbinger of Doom and bring dark times with it? As the world braces for the end of the much discussed Mayan Calendar on December 21st, 2012, these comets only add more intrigue to cosmic conspiracies. The authorities and media downplay end of the world talk which is probably the responsible thing to do to stave off panic.However, its increasingly difficult to know where to find the truth. And NASA isnt exactly known for its honesty either, sometimes being referred to as Never A Straight Answer. Even if we wont get a straight answer from NASA, we should heed the advice they gave to their staff to be prepared to survive potential emergencies: Read other articles by Nicholas West Here 
1	Arena golfer John Daly was forced to withdraw from the Dick's Sporting Goods Classic at Spokane Arena Friday, displaying concussion-like symptoms following a punishing hit delivered by playing partner David Duval. The hit occurred during the 'fairway blitz' that opens each round of arena golf, in which competitors are released from the starting cage and must run across the entire stadium to retrieve their clubs from the lofted, 15-foot-high tee area. As Daly climbed to the top of the platform and reached for a driver, Duval reportedly wheeled and blindsided him with a five-iron he had acquired moments earlier, sending the 1991 PGA Championship winner sprawling down to the turf. According to sources, Daly was also treated for several minor bruises and lacerations sustained when competitors drove balls at the golfer's stomach and legs as he lay dazed on the fairway. Due to a recent rule change, two-stroke bonuses are awarded for pelting competitors en route to the 7-foot-wide hole. 'I hope John recovers soon, because I know we'll miss him on the AGA Tour,' said Duval, who won the tournament with a two-round score of 105 under par. 'He's a real force: Great fundamentals, and boy, coming off the trampoline, his midair driving accuracy is unmatched.' Daly has taken the world of arena golf by storm this year, winning five events with his powerful swing, quick defensive reflexes, and, when traversing water hazards, impressive swimming speed. The 46-year-old made headlines in July, achieving golf's first-ever triple albatross by holing in just two strokes on the par-11 fifth at Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena. Daly is expected to miss two to four weeks with the injuries, which his caddy Peter Van Der Riet said are minor. 'Incidents like this sometimes happen in arena golf, and partly it's just the nature of the game,' Genter said. 'In the end, it's really about the fans. The big hits, the diving putts, the quicksand trapsthat's what people come here to see. That's what gets the whole stadium on its feet and clapping politely.'

Were having Phil Robertson, claimed representative Jay-Tea Leggett from the Center. Its a little exciting. Hes definitely a person who makes a lot of talk. Hes a solid, conservative Christian whos unapologetic about his point of view, supporter Jeff Pecker added. I dont care if its Jesus, Gandhi or Moses. All of them are controversial, and theyre all controversial for the same reason. They are unapologetic about the truth, and thats what this guy has got. I say Im all for this guy. I know that theres been controversy, Leggett acknowledged, alluding to some of Phils controversial speeches in the past. Weve seen some of that. I personally feel like maybe he didnt use the best words to make the point he was trying to make, but we still feel like he lines up with our beliefs that life is valuable. 
2	F*CK YOU, PAY ME! BLM Organizer Demands That Whites Pay Slave Reparations According to Black Lives Matter organizer Ashleigh Shackelford, white people are simply not welcome at BLM rallies. Instead, she argues, they should just hand over reparations to black people. In an article for Wear Your Voice, Shackelford says that she finds the presence of white people at Black Lives Matter rallies triggering. She also claimed that black people are frightened by white people, who should stick to their role as human buffers against the police. Why are you going to protest when youre the oppressor? asks Shackelford. White people are killing us. So when I see white people show up to a rally excited and smiling, ready to march like its a hobbyIm disgusted and absolutely fucking lividIm ready to fight. White people are 400 years too f***ing late for a round of applause for a damn tweet with a hashtag, or for showing up to a damn rally, she continued. She then accused all white Americans of living off of stolen resources, stolen land, exploited labor, appropriated culture and the murder of our people. Nothing you have is yours, she argued, claiming that Americans should be In previous articles, Shackelford has demanded that she should be paid money for being a fat black bitch. What do you think of Shackelfords arguments? 
1	Despite overcoming long odds as the lowest seed remaining in the NCAA Tournament, Cornell's basketball team had on Wednesday squandered most of its underdog goodwill by using every opportunity to explain that, given a finite set of possible outcomes and a sufficient period of time, the sheer quantity of opportunities available to accomplish an improbable outcome makes its achievement likely if not almost certain. 'It'd be foolish to ascribe any of the properties of a pan-dimensional function space to the NCAA Tournament,' said Cornell center Jeff Foote, who has averaged 14 points per game in the first two rounds. 'However, bear in mind that we're not talking about a null probability space. With eight teams in the Ivy League and 65 in the tournament, you eventually run out of possible permutations. One could even make the case for historical inevitability; we won, so we were always going to win. I think my good friend Baron d'Holbach would agreethat's decidedly nonzero. Decidedly.' Foote excused himself after the interview upon receiving a fifth rejection-of-transfer letter from Harvard. 
3	Smart meter opt-out fees rescinded in Arizona, commissioners fearing liabilityWarren Woodward Last December the ACC had approved a $50 up-front fee for those not grandfathered in with an existing analog meter, and $5 per month to avoid the harm inherent in smart meters. That misguided, illegal and ill-considered ACC decision was appealed both by Pat Ferre of Payson, Arizona and I in separate appeals. In rescinding their previous decision, the slow-learners at the ACC decided to still allow APS to continue trespassing via their bio-toxic surveillance devices, AKA smart meters. Meanwhile, people may continue to refuse smart meters at no cost. Be warned however that calling APS to refuse a smart may result in customer abuse. While some calls to APS go smoothly, I still get reports of people being told by APS that they have no more analog meters. That APS claim is nonsense; dont settle for it. There is also a recent ACC docket submission by someone complaining that APS replaced their analog meter with a smart meter when they had not asked for that. So be vigilant. A rogue utility is at large. It has captured its regulators and should be considered dangerous. The ACCs latest decision also allows for APS to reapply for an extortion fee in their next rate case which I believe is not until July, 2016. So the issue is not over You can listen to the ACC arrive at their latest decision at the 1:03:37 mark here. They talk for 14 minutes. Note that even though they had just discussed the issue for an hour privately, when the mikes are on and the public is back in the room, the commissioners have a hard time talking. Its like they are scared or something. Nobody wants to touch the tar baby. When they finally do begin discussion, they start by repeating the obvious like well, Legal has given us 3 options, #1 is . Note also that actually granting the relief that Pat and I had requested in our appeals the removal of all smart meters as not compliant with various Arizona Revised Statutes was never mentioned as an option. So the lawlessness continues at the ACC. PS Some people thought $5 per month was good deal. 1) Any amount of money to avoid harm is extortion. 2) There are people for whom $5 is unfordable. 3) Opt out is faux choice for people still getting injured by their neighbors meters. 4) APS is the party that opted everyone in. As such, any costs involved in opting out belong to APS. 5) $5 can become more very easily. The APS solar fee is a case in point. They asked for $50 and got $5 but are now back asking for $21.

2	Andrea Tantaros Comes Forward With Shocking Announcement About Fox Sexual Harassment Fox News host Andrea Tantaros has been relatively quiet after being suspended by the network a few months ago. On Wednesday, she broke her silence just after Gretchen Carlson filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against network head Roger Ailes. Tantaros criticized the FBI, the Department of Justice and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Full blown degeneracy of government as they all cover for her, Tantaros tweeted, according to reports.This is the most corrupt administration in history. Her comment came after Attorney General Loretta Lynch confirmed that Hillary Clinton would be walking away without any criminal charges. I received and accepted their unanimous recommendation that the thorough, year-long investigation be closed and that no charges be brought against any individuals within the scope of the investigation, Lynch concluded. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous? Do we need to keep Clinton far away from the White House? 
3	UK to Introduce National ID Scheme Using Mobile Phones and Social Media ProfilesBrandon Turbeville Like the Indian and Japanese ice-breaker, the UK program is being developed in concert and collusion between the UK government and international corporations. To be clear, the English version of the National ID is not the same as the Indian program. Biometrics have yet to enter into the equation. In fact, at this point, the UK is only attempting to implement a virtual ID under the Identity Assurance Programme. Yet, the scheme is still raising some ire amidst privacy advocates and those still conscious enough to be aware that they are passengers on a train headed for a system of total surveillance and control if the engine is not soon shut off. Nevertheless, the new back-door National ID scheme is being ushered in to the UK using similar justifications as that used by the Indian government when the UID program began i.e. that the new program will improve and streamline the process of requesting, granting, receiving, and distributing government benefits and/or aid. While India argued that the UID would cut down on fraud, the UK suggests that the program will free up an already-clogged system (due to a ravaged economy) and allow for a smoother and more streamlined process of distribution. As Ian Burrell of The Independent writes: It has been reported that the Cabinet Office has held talks with agencies and organizations such as the Post Office, high street banks, mobile phone companies and technology giants ranging from Facebook and Microsoft to Google, PayPal and BT. The system is supposed to be rolled out for trial in April when the Department of Work Pensions introduces the system overhaul known as the Universal Credit Scheme. Essentially, government services are being grouped together on one website, Gov.uk, which will be accessible via mobile phone. Those wishing to access the services will able to login with their already-established login IDs set-up with private companies. The government claims that the ID systems and procedures have been subjected to security testing before being awarded their Identity Provider (IDP) kitemark, meaning that they have made the list of between five and 20 approved organizations that will be announced on 22 October. Those using the new virtual ID program will be asked to identify themselves by picking their preferred corporation from the NASCAR screen, the name of the logo-filled directory on the website. As Ian Burrell describes: Much like the Japanese version of the Indian UID, the Basic Resident Register, the IAP is given the perception of being decentralized. For instance, the Cabinet Office has consistently stated that the data provided through accessing the IAP will not be held centrally by any government agency. However, like the Japanese Juki-net, the fact is that the data will be included inside a centralized database. There is simply no way around it. Thus, while the Cabinet Office states that the various corporations involved in the program will not know which government agency is requesting information, both the agencies and the Corporations are themselves a part of a centralized database, the very least of which being the Gov.uk website where individuals will go to access their services. With this in mind, are we really to believe that such information will sit eternally unmolested by the UK central government? The Japanese made the mistake of resting with this assumption early on with the Basic Resident Register and the My Number Bill as well. Unfortunately for them, it was just a few years before the localized database became openly centralized. Furthermore, simply setting up minuscule barriers, such as using the selected corporations as filters for inquiries and distribution of information, is largely meaningless in a world where such a small number of large corporations, banks, and other industry giants essentially own the government. Again, the question must be asked: Are we really to believe that information sharing between such powerful corporations and governments will not occur due to the high ethical standards of either one? If the answer to this question is affirmative, surely, they jest. Nevertheless, one must wonder how long it will be before the UK database becomes openly centralized like the Japanese Juki-net and Basic Resident Register program. One must also wonder how long the system will exist before reports of illegal information sharing begin to circulate within the media, subsequently culminating in the confirmation of such information sharing out in the open with no legal repercussions. How long will it be before the information sharing process is then codified into law? If you think it sounds like the above questions are more a list of predictions than possibilities, you would be right. Thats because, using recent history as a guide, whether it be the Japanese Basic Resident Register, India, Germany, Argentina, Belgium, Colombia, Spain, Peru, or Italy, the same roadmap is almost always followed with the same results almost always being achieved the establishment of a massive, all-encompassing (biometric) database containing information gleaned from every aspect of life by corporations, government, and other sources. Of course, government databases and control are not the only concerns arising out of the new UK program. As 21st Century Fix reports, there is also the issue of the commercial sale of the personal information submitted by the individual accessing his government services by the corporations facilitating that transaction. The report states: But while the concerns centered around the privatization of a virtual database are very real, as are those regarding identity theft, hacking, and centralization, the reality of the situation is much more grave than many of the opponents of the UK virtual ID are letting on. The true nature of the virtual ID scheme is rooted in the ultimate goal of creating an all-encompassing, top-down, cashless society combined with a Total Information Awareness network which includes every aspect of individual life. While a decentralized voluntary virtual ID with allegedly built-in protections may seem like a far cry from a forced omnipotent surveillance state or a national ID, the fact is that the new scheme is merely one more step in that direction. Obviously, the program will not be voluntary for long. As I have discussed in previous articles, the introduction of a program such as a national ID card, biometric data, or cashless payment technologies is always followed by the program becoming mandatory. The ultimate goal of an all-encompassing cashless surveillance program with no opt-out provisions is always introduced by stealth and the Gradualist Technique. At first, the program is introduced as a way to speed up transactions, increase efficiency, and provide convenience. Soon, however, governments and businesses begin to transition out of the older methods of payment and identification and focus more on the new technology. Identification using the traditional methods remain as an option, but become viewed as cumbersome. Eventually, the alternative methods are phased out completely and mandates replace what was once a personal choice. What governments cannot accomplish out in the open, they will accomplish by the backdoor as any American who has had experience with programs such as IDENT, NGI, and S-COMM can attest to. History and experience both have shown that government cannot be trusted to tell the truth regarding potentially dangerous technologies and surveillance policies much less be trusted to operate these programs with responsibility. It is for this reason that the English people must view the new virtual ID scheme with more than just a healthy dose of skepticism. Read other articles by Brandon Turbeville here.

2	Dolly Parton Goes Public Again, Trashes Hillary Clinton In Amazingly Epic Fashion Dolly Parton has long been one of Americas most legendary singing and songwriting talents. Until recently, she was fairly liberal, and a big supporter of Hillary Clinton. In a statement not long ago, Parton said she was inspired that a woman might be President for the first time in our nations history. Were doing good, she commented at the time. We got a woman that could go in the White House, so weve certainly come a long way in that respect. Recently, Parton saw the light and realized that Hillary would be quite possible the worst person to be the champion for woman throughout the nation. She now understands that Hillary is a liar; shes as corrupt as they come. In a more recent interview, she called Hillary nuts and that her campaign has been just crazy. She went on to argue that the American public needs to stop being fooled by Hillary. Lets talk about what we really needtaking care of us, Dolly said.I think people just want to have a feeling of security. Its just like political terrorism right now. Weve got room for improvement. What do you think? Do you applaud Dolly for seeing Hillary for who she really is? 
2	BREAKING: 4 Reported Dead In Calculated Shooting, Please Pray For Friends And Family According to recent reports, an ambush-style killing of five people including a woman who was eight months pregnant at a backyard party in Pittsburgh was a calculated, brutal operation, the Allegheny district attorney said on Thursday. The medical examiner in the case has ruled the death of the pregnant womans fetus a homicide, which raised the total death toll to six. Three others were injured when two gunmen opened fire late Wednesday on more than a dozen people attending the party at the Wilkinsburg home. Lt. Andrew Schurman of the local homicide unit reported that four people were found dead at the scene, and a fifth died at a local hospital. Two other men were in critical condition and another woman was stable. The murders were planned, calculated, brutal, Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala told Pittsburghs WPXI-TV. He went on to tell reporters that authorities believe there were one or two intended targets, and that a relative of victims might have been one. Schurman claims that the shots were fired from two locations, and they dont believe anyone at the party fired back. Party-goers appeared to try to run into the resident, at which point a person on the side or backyard adjacent to the residence fired at the back porch, Schurman commented. All four of the individuals who died at the scene died on that back porch. The victims were identified as siblings Jerry Shelton, 35, Brittany Powell, 27, and Chanetta Powell, 25; and Tina Shelton, 37, and Shada Mahone, 26. What do you think? Will you pray for the friends and family of the victims? Is this absolutely disgraceful? 
2	Trey Gowdy Traps Hillary With Proof Of 3 Illegal Acts She Did To Hide Her Email Crimes, Its Over Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy of South Carolina is a true American hero who is crusading for justice in the Benghazi fiasco. Nobody has worked harder to finally hold Hillary Clinton accountable for the crimes she committed as President Barack Hussein Obamas Secretary of State. He just uncovered fresh evidence about how she covered up her email crimes. It turns out that Hillary Clinton used a shady software program called BleachBit to destroy any electronic evidence of her emails. BleachBit is a program that, like bleach, effectively removes any trace that an email even existed. It covered the traces of her crime network, which also involved shadowy deals made with the Clinton Foundation and is in violation of three different federal laws. Explained Gowdy, She and her lawyers had those emails deleted. And they didnt just push the delete button; they had them deleted where even God cant read them. They were using something called BleachBit. You dont use BleachBit for yoga emails or bridemaids emails. When youre using BleachBit, it is something you really do not want the world to see. Added Trey, going further into her illegal acts, When you are a habitual, serial liar in this facet of life, it tends to make people not believe you in other facets of life. So when shes talking about the Clinton Foundation, I go back and remember her saying theres no classified information, I only used one device, I did it for convenience. All of which were proven to be false. Thank you, Trey! When will Hillary finally go to jail? 
2	VICTORY: Mexico Just Admitted Trumps Won, Makes Humiliation Move To Save Face From the very beginning of his time on the campaign trail, Donald Trump has focused his efforts on protecting the southern border. Even in the face of criticism, hes refused to apologize to drug dealers and other criminals who have made their way into America. And, of course, hes promised to build a wall that will help keep these criminals out. Now, it appears that Mexico has finally accepted the fact that Trump is not backing down any time soon. Theyve decided it is time to take action, which is why they sent diplomat Carlos Sada to Washington. The move is an attempt to revamp the countrys image. Sada admitted that Mexico has neglected its reputation, and that his goal was to address the problems with PR and media campaigns. We need to do a more thorough job so that people understand what Mexico contributes, Sada said on Tuesday. Opposition lawmaker Gabriela Cuevas also weighed in, commenting that it was vital for Mexico to improve its image, but that alone wont change the hateful trend that Trump and other xenophobes before him have stirred up. They dont understand the extent of the damage Trump has done, she commented. And though the country is quick to blame trump, theyve also been forced to admit that Trump is speaking the truth. Andres Rozental, a former Mexican deputy foreign minister, admits that Mexico was at least partly responsible for how the country is being perceived. To change the image, you have to change the reality, he concluded. Unfortunately, Mexicos internal reality at this point in time has a lot of negatives. 
2	GOP Destroys Obamacare And Fixes The Budget In Less Than 10 Years According to recent reports, House Republicans are working to introduce a budget plan that will eliminate the budget deficit within 10 years. To do so, the bill would repeal Obamacare and give more power to the states on issues like education. This is just one of many proposals that are sure to arise as the White House begins discussing what the next fiscal decade will look like. Congress is expected to support the GOP budget among other proposals, and House Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price told reporters that his proposal would balance within 10 years. We know that job creators and future entrepreneurs see todays large debt levels as tomorrows likely tax hikes, interest rate increases, and inflationary pressures, he told reporters at USA Today. Through policies like fundamental tax reform, expanded energy production and the streamlining or outright elimination of unnecessary regulations, our budget would create an environment where folks can plan for the future with greater confidence and optimism. According to Price, the budget would cut $5.5 trillion in spending by shifting Medicare into a plan allowing people to purchase their own health care, among other things. The bill would also strive to repeal Obama care to build a system that works for patients, families and physicians, not Washington. The bill also addresses certain flaws and loopholes in the systemlike those who receive unemployment and disability benefits simultaneously. What do you think of Prices proposal? Is it a step in the right direction toward repairing the damage Obama has caused?

2	Obama Orders Police To Detain Conservatives For Being Extremists According to recent reports, the House Homeland Security Committee just approved legislation that grants DHS and FEMA more power to arrest those that they consider to be violent extremists. The measure also calls for a new Office for Countering Violent Extremism, with the overly optimistic hope that such an organization will prevent Americans from turning into radical extremists and forming groups against the government. In the face of mounting threats, our government is doing far too little to counter violent extremism here in the United States, Chairman Michael McCaul told reporters. Whether it is the long reach of international terrorists into our communities or the homegrown hate spread by domestic extremist groups, we are all ill-equipped to prevent Americans from being recruited by dangerous fanatics. Of course, those who are already opposing the bill include more than 40 different civil rights organizations that claim that there is no evidence supporting that pre-crime prevention methods are successful. The trajectory of the U.K.s efforts shows how these programs can morph into outright censorship, a letter from the group reads. What do you think? Do you support the proactive measures to protect our country or is this going to be used as a weapon against conservatives and gun owners? 
1	Bears middle linebacker Brian Urlacher told reporters Saturday that he felt confident about being ready to sit out the team's season opener against the Colts, insisting that a sprained MCL would not prevent him from taking part in any action on the bench. 'I'll be 100 percent, sitting down, checking it out from the sidelines,' Urlacher said. 'My goal for Sept. 9 is to be cleared for all football-watching activities, such as looking, clapping, and cheering. I can't wait to start hitting the bench. Bears fans better be prepared for some hard sitting.' Despite Urlacher's enthusiasm, Bears coach Lovie Smith was reportedly pessimistic about the linebacker's chances of standing on the sidelines anytime before week six. 
3	False Flags and Story WarsJulie Beal One such narrative is False Flag, written by Dick Croy; it tells the story of a man who dares to discover the most important facts of 9/11. Frank, who lost his daughter that day, is slowly awakened to many of the issues which were not dealt with in the official investigation. We journey with him on his voyage of discovery, from ignorance, to disbelief, to coming to terms with the painful truths. This is a journey many of the readers of selfnews Post will recognize, since many peoples eyes were opened by what they have learned since that terrible day in America. What happened lit their fire it made them hunt down the information thats missing in the mainstream media. In doing so, they dared consider what, to many, is the unthinkable the possibility that the people who are in charge may not always have our best interests at heart, and could even stoop so low as to kill. Most people, when faced with information which conflicts with their belief system, struggle with cognitive dissonance. They have already had their heads filled with stories from the mainstream media, all of which have helped shape their belief systems; so when the brain receives information which conflicts with those beliefs, it does everything it can to make it fit. The media has popularised the meme that government/corporate sceptics are conspiracy theorists, and has taught people to switch off from certain subjects: Denial (from False Flag) It is the ability to transition through this denial (by doing the required research!) that allows people to finally accept there are consequences to corruption at the top. Ironically, We also seem to use storytelling to reconcile our conscious and subconscious thoughts as, for example, when we make choices based on subconscious reasoning and then invent fictions to justify and rationalise them. (Source) Cognitive dissonance is another topic woven through the story False Flag, and as such, it helps people like me understand how others can be so blind to the corruption at the top, because Ive been a lifelong skeptic when it comes to government and power. You see, I was nursing my newborn baby when I first saw the footage of the planes just melting smoothly into the Twin Towers. I didnt, and still cant, believe what the pictures showed my eyes. I was already a committed activist, and my very first reaction was to shout out at the people at the top of the pyramid because I recognised it as being a false flag too far; part of a campaign to make us believe we need protection from terrorists in caves radicals, extremists, suicide bombers And yet people fell for the official story hook, line, and sinker even though the ones with the most power are the biggest terrorists of all. Stories fill our lives, from those told to us by friends, to those we tell ourselves, and of course, those selected to be told by the media as the news of the day. The problem is, the media has been honing its propaganda techniques for decades now, and most of the stories we hear are re-tellings of corporate and government news-releases. We are told which current events are affecting our lives; one event builds upon another, and narratives are formed, shaping our world views, and our understanding of how the world works. Because of the potential power of carefully contrived narratives, DARPA is investigating the deep psychological effects that stories have upon humans, in an attempt to win hearts and minds, the sly way. Academics have discovered that stories shape our belief systems, our sense of identity, our choices, and our actions. They alter our mental state, making us highly suggestible, especially when we empathize with the characters. Stories have physiological effects upon our bodies brain scans reveal that when people read a story or watch a movie, the same brain regions that are active in real-life situations fire up when a fictitious character encounters an equivalent situation. In other words, our brains perceive, and react to, whatever the characters are experiencing, just as if it were happening to ourselves. (Source) Stories can also trigger the release of neurotransmitters and hormones such as oxytocin and dopamine. Head of the narrative networks research at DARPA, William Casebeer, commented that this effect is similar to having a tiny hit of cocaine. (Source) This is the beginning of the story wars the most troubling psy-ops imaginable. Humans the world over use universal story lines to understand the world around them, with the basic story mechanism of cause and effect, or problem; reaction; solution. Oftentimes its the classic story arc, of the heros journey. The deep, but subtle, effects of cunningly crafted narratives will feature more and more in our lives, so all you budding story tellers out there get busy! Tell us stories yet untold, let your imagination unfold art of all kinds can tell a story, as it speaks from heart to heart. Songs, dances, videos, blogs, and fiction they all tell stories and make a difference to the world. As activists, you could send stories like False Flag to people you think may be able to open their eyes, and cope with our somewhat grim reality. As Croy remarks: The choir is being preached to with brilliance and passion, but its time to enlarge the congregation. Exponentially. . (A short passage from False Flag, by Dick Croy:) Anita had brought a fairly thick file folder with her which she held in her lap. When she saw me looking at it she asked me to hold any questions until after wed talked to the McGuires. Tom and Peggy are fighters, she said. Theyve asked family and friends to give them half an hour alone with us this afternoon. Well have a lot to talk about afterwards. We rode in silence for a moment, then she added, I lost Alex years ago; Ill never get over it but Ive come to live with it. Now were losing hundreds more to cancer and other illnesses and the grieving starts all over again. I told her I understood and tried to take in the city street scenes we were driving through. After no more than a minute or two of silence between us we stopped in front of a modest three-story brownstone on a quiet tree-lined street. There were some children playing, a few people walking, but a stillness here in front of the McGuires home. Although it was in need of repair, which didnt surprise me under the circumstances, it was undoubtedly a choice piece of real estate. Anita told me theyd bought it four or five years before 9/11 as a good place to raise a family: three children, all of them teenagers now. Before ringing the doorbell, Anita said, I dont expect Tom to be able to talk very long, so youd better ask any questions you have as soon as you get the chance. Peggy met us at the door. She was a pretty woman, I guessed in her early 40s though her features and a general sense of fatigue about her movements and her smile made her appear older. Her red hair had a good bit of gray in it and her blue eyes were hard and steady but dim in some way. You could see how theyd once sparkled because every now and then the spark flared for a moment, usually in anger. But Im getting ahead of myself; it took most of the hour we spent with the McGuires for me to notice all of this. After her somber but deeply appreciative greeting, we followed Peggy down a hallway that opened on the left onto a dark spacious living room in which the drapes were drawn, then led directly to what would normally have been a den or study, maybe a sitting room. Now it was Toms sickroom, occupied by a hospital bed and all the paraphernalia of modern terminal illness. That and a crepuscular gloom that vases of flowers and childrens artwork did nothing to dispel. Toms head was elevated to enable him to converse with us as he felt able to. He was connected to an IV drip and monitored by various electronic instruments but had no trouble holding our complete attention. We were there because Tom had a vital story to tell, and he was obviously determined to use all the strength he had to get it on the record. He cleared his throat painfully, it was obvious and said in a dry raspy voice, Fifteen years a fireman and I saw things that no human being should have to see. He paused and Peggy held a glass of water to his lips. He sipped from it, then his eyes grew glassy with whatever it was he was seeing now. Everyone knows about the jumpers saw them falling but I doubt many can imagine what they looked like after impacting concrete. But they werentthat wasnt the worst. He paused again and when I glanced at Peggy I could tell she knew what was coming. Id seen fallen bodies before suicides, window washer from 40-some storiesbodies burnt to a crisp, that fell apart when we put em in body bags. All in a days work. You knew what had happened to them. Tragicbut comprehensible. But what we saw that day I still dont understand.If I wasnt about to be carted off by the big C, Id most likely lose my mind thinking about it. Peggy gave us or me anyway, Anita was sitting on the other side of the bed a look that was somewhere between one of apology and accusation, for what her husband was going through to talk to us. Anita said gently, Take your time, Tom. You dont have to continue; we can come back later if that would be easier. But we all knew, Tom included, that this was pro forma. The worst thing we could do for him right now would be to give him time. He had very little left. It was like a horror movie, he suddenly croaked. Thesefireballs. They came out of nowhere, and when they caught up with someone, the body would just explode. Disintegrate. Ive never seen.There was one man, he saw it coming and tried to outrun it. The terror in his eyes. But it got him. Just like the rest. Peggy motioned to us that Tom needed to rest now, which is an understatement. His face was bathed in sweat and his hands had started shaking. We quietly withdrew. As we waited in the hallway for Peggy I gave Anita a look that must have conveyed my incomprehension because she just patted the file folder she was still holding and said, Homework. A moment later Peggy came out and told us Tom was sleeping. She said for us to have a seat in the living room and brought in a tray of coffee, cream and sugar. I drank mine gratefully though longing for something stronger. Tom and I so much appreciate you coming out here to hear his story, Peggy said. No one from the newspapers was interested. He saw a lot of things that day that have eaten away at him, along with the cancer. If he were a little stronger he could tell you more, but Im afraid it cant be today. Were grateful too, Peggy, said Anita. Toms a courageous man. They all are or were, I guess I should say. The union says cancer deaths are off the charts, across all ranks of the department. Strapping, healthy young men a few women too in the prime of life most of them. Now theyre a cancer ward. Leukemia, non-Hodgkins lymphoma, multiple myelomaIve become quite the expert Im afraid. Myeloma usually occurs in the 60s and 70s, not in men in their 30s and 40s. Toms doctor cant believe it. He said you dont expect something environmental like this to elevate multiple types of cancer. None of us said anything for a minute, then I asked, You mentioned other things Tom saw. Could you Peggy jumped right in. He said cars parked along the curb were blowing up, like spontaneously. He;d never seen anything like it. And he learned later, from other firefighters, that temperatures under the Trade Center were so high that soil and glass and stainless steel were being evaporated just boiled away six weeks after they collapsed. He was told these temperatures were the same as during the nuclear core meltdown at Chernobyl. So were talking about possible nuclear contamination? I asked. Peggy just nodded, but Anita spoke up immediately. Chernobyl-level temperatures six weeks after 9/11? Fireballs that vaporize human beings? Seems like a strong possibility to me. When we left the McGuires we were both so moved and deep in thought that neither of us said anything in the cab for a while. Finally Anita opened the folder shed been carrying, and I took that as an opening for the many questions I had. So do you think it was a nuclear demolition, Anita? New York City was nuked by our own government? She sighed, and when I noticed her glance at the rear-view mirror, I did too to see if our black cabbie had overheard. His eyes were as big around as quarters. Anita didnt give a damn if he was listening and neither did I. I dont know, she said wearily. Ill pull a Frank Nolan and say, All I know is and I completed the sentence with her: it was a controlled demolition. Recently by Julie Beal: 
1	A ribbon of blacktop called Highway 52 runs through the heart of this tiny eastern Kansas town. Not much distinguishes this road from countless others, except for the violent, head-on collision that, on the evening of April 24, claimed the lives of five people from the town of Mound City. Artificial flowers and a $7.99 teddy bear adorn the site of the tragedy. It is on the shoulder of this otherwise ordinary road that a makeshift shrine to the victims has been erected. With plastic flowers, stuffed animals, and hand-painted signs, the grieving townspeople of Mound City resolved to consecrate the death site in the most trite and hackneyed way possible. 'This is a truly tragic event,' said Mound City resident Trudy Pierstorff. 'It's painful enough to lose one person you know, but five, well, it boggles the mind. I'm going out to the site today to pay my respects and leave a few mylar balloons.' According to the Linn County Sheriff's Department, Jason Gullickson, 18, was heading north to nearby Pleasanton at a speed approaching 90 mph when he lost control of his 1992 Plymouth Sundance and collided with a Ford Taurus in the opposite lane driven by 42-year-old James Drabeck. Drabeck, his wife Alma, 40, and daughter Kelly, 13, died instantly. Gullickson and a passenger, Kimberly Femia, 17, died later of massive head injuries. A second passenger, 17-year-old Michael Allen, survived the crash but remains in critical condition at Methodist Medical Center in Pleasanton. To cope with this incalculable loss of life, within hours of the accident, the citizens of Mound City responded with a spontaneous outpouring of crappy mementos. Despite the presence of such disturbing reminders of the crash as tire marks, headlight shards, and blood-stained pavement, Mound City residents have come here day after day, adding more tacky shit to the steadily growing pile. 'It's staggering to think we won't be seeing Jason and Kimberly anymore,' said Mound City High School English teacher John Pentland, who laid two synthetic red roses with plastic baby's breath atop the ever-growing heap of embarrassing kitsch. 'I've been having nightmares every night since the accident,' said Lynette Searcy, 38, sister of James Drabeck. 'But somehow, I know that Jim, Alma, and Kelly are with God in Heaven now.' Searcy then honored her deceased family members with a crocheted clown doll in a tiny Kansas City Chiefs T-shirt. Passersby on Hwy. 52 also stopped to pay their respects. Off-duty sheriff's deputy Scott Tierney was moved by the tribute. 'I'm a family man like [James Drabeck], and it's sobering to think that everything can disappear like that in the wink of an eye,' Tierney said. 'He must have been quite a guy to warrant that purple horse piata.' It is not just tasteless bric-a-brac that makes up the shrine: Ill-conceived signs and corny poems abound, as well. Friends of Gullickson felt the best way to tell the world how much they missed him was with the words 'See You At The Crossroads' written in glow-in-the-dark green paint on a slab of cardboard. Bordering the sign was a collage of items representing Jason's favorite things, including a Mound City Mustangs logo, several Icehouse Beer labels, and a crudely cut out image of Jesus Christ. 'You and Jason were so great togeather [sic],' reads a poem to Femia from classmate Danielle Schoyer. 'I liked having DECA and Choir with you / You were looking so forward to the senior class trip to Washington / I will throw a coin in the Potamac [sic] for you.' Though the remainder of the poem was illegible, its ink washed out by an overnight drizzle, it no doubt continued in this mawkish vein. Allen, the lone survivor of the crash, has not been spared the tawdry tributes. Stuffed pandas, bouquets of carnations, and 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin balloons adorn his hospital room, as well as a construction-paper placard bearing the proclamation 'U R A Hero!!!' spelled in macaroni and glitter. 'I'm sure once Michael regains consciousness, he'll be glad so many people are pulling for him,' said Andrea Allen, Michael's mother. 'A few days ago, he was awake long enough to see the sign and ask, 'How was I a hero, Mom? I was in a car accident.' Then he slipped out of consciousness again. I'm sure the painkillers are clouding his reasoning.' As the people of Mound City try to rebuild their lives, psychologist and grief counselor Dr. Elizabeth Calloway said their makeshift shrine is a positive sign that they will weather this crisis. 'Mourning is part of the healing process, and people express their grief in many ways,' Calloway said. 'Leaving unorthodox tokens of their love for the deceased is sometimes the only way people can articulate their sorrow.' Continued Calloway: 'I just wish these mourners would give their tributes a little more thought, because some of it is pretty cheesy. I mean, I don't question the depth of their grief, but there's got to be a better way to show it than with a beanbag frog.' 
2	Trump Critisizes Obama In Time Of Tragedy GOP front-runner Donald Trump has proved time and time again that he is not afraid to call it like he sees it. Recently, he took to the stage to criticize President Barack Obamas response to a mass shooting at the hands of Islamic terrorists. Less than four hours after the incident occurred, President Obama was on live television pushing his anti-gun agenda and encouraging Americans to embrace the Muslim population. In fact, he argued that the incident was a case of workplace violence instead of terrorism. We have a president that refuses to use the term, Trump told reporters. He refuses to say it. Theres something going on with him that we dont know about. Radical Islamic terrorism, Trump concluded. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Trump? 
1	National Football League officials announced Wednesday that Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam 'Pacman' Jones has committed a uniform weapons violation and will be fined $2,000 for keeping his nine-millimeter Beretta handgun in his game uniform's belt and not tucking the firearm into his uniform pants as rules stipulate during Monday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. 'This fine sends a clear message that there is no leeway when it comes the NFL's new firearms policyif players have a sidearm in their pants while on the field of play, said pistol must be tucked into the front, back, or sides of said pants,' a statement from the commissioner's office read in part. 'Once again, the rule is clear: Players can carry up to five guns onto the field at any one time, but only if they are properly carried in holsters underneath their jerseys, in the aforementioned portions of their pants, or in their sock.' Goodell also cautioned Jones to be mindful of rule 14b of the on-field uniform code, which states that one may shoot an opposing quarterback once and only once as long as the throwing arm is not targeted. 
3	Detekt: A New Malware Detection Tool That Can Expose Illegitimate State SurveillanceEva Galperin Software like this is designed to evade detection by its victims. Thats why weve joined together to support Detekt, a new malware detection tool developed by security researcher Claudio Guarnieri. Detekt is an easy-to-use, open source tool that allows users to check their Windows PCs for signs of infection by surveillance malware that weknow is being used by government to spy on activists and journalists. Some of the software used by states against innocent citizens is widely available on the Internet, while more sophisticated alternatives are made and sold by private companies and sold to governments everywhere from the United States and Europe to Ethiopia and Vietnam. Detekt makes it easy for at-risk users to check their PCs for possible infection by this spyware, which often goes undetected by existing commercial anti-virus products. Because Detekt is a best-effort tool and spyware companies make frequent changes to their software to avoid detection, users should keep in mind that Detekt cannot conclusively guarantee that your computer is not compromised by the spyware it aims to detect. However, we hope that by making this tool available we may be able to detect some ongoing infections, provide advice to infected users, and contribute to the debate around curbing the use of government spyware in countries where it is linked to human rights abuses. We hope that members of the open source and information security communities will contribute to this important project.

2	The Names Of 34 Senators That Support Iran Was Just Leaked... This Is TREASON According to recent reports, the Obama administration has been working to collect enough support in the Senate to ensure that the Iran nuclear deal makes it through a congressional vote. Lets not forget that Iran has repeatedly told us that they want to see Death to America and death to America and Israel. Now, it appears that 34 American senators have banded together to help Obama get the support he needs to close the nuclear deal with Iran. J Street, the organization that started the movement, just released the following thank you to those who have participated. Thank you, Senators! With 34 Senators now officially supporting the international agreement to keep Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, were confident that the deal will move forward. This has been a serious fight, and thats why its critical to say Thank you! These brave Senators are under intense pressure for supporting this deal, and thats why we need to make sure our voices are heard too. Sign now, and join J Street in saying Thank you! The organization then releases the following message: With your voice in support of the international agreement with Iran, we can now be sure that the deal will move forward. Thank you! As a supporter of Israel, I know that this is the best way to keep Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. This is a tough fight, but your leadership has made a difference, and pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans have your back. Were glad youre standing up for diplomacy. What do you think? Is this treason in the highest extent? 
1	NEW YORKWith the newly implemented dress code being met with criticism from players like Allen Iverson and Marcus Camby, NBA Commissioner David Stern announced Wednesday that he will clarify any and all concerns by imposing an even stricter, more detailed code of dress and conduct so that players can more accurately follow it to the letter. 'Because we are dealing with people who perform at the professional level, we ask that they dress and behave like professionals, as well,' Stern said. 'They have no excuse to act like over-muscled louts who spend their time bouncing a ball around the gym.' Under the new guidelines, players will be forced to adhere to a code of dress 'befitting a gentleman,' with all outfits officially sanctioned by Brooks Brothers and all hairstyles needing full approval of NBA Director of Barbering Bill Laimbeer. In addition, outside promotional deals with clothing manufacturers that encourage or condone sloppy dress will be terminated, a measure that will cost many players millions of dollars in external revenue, with the exception of Kenyon Martin, whose current endorsement deal with the Men's Wearhouse will be upheld as an example for his peers. Stern said the decision to install the dress code came in response to too many of his sport's stars dressing up like 'wannabe NBA players.' 'The NBA wants its players to reflect the refined and dignified qualities of the game itself,' Stern said. 'If it takes an unassuming navy-blue serge three-button suit, paired with a maroon and gray tie and a sensible pair of wingtips, to make a player look like the kind of young man I'd be unafraid to welcome into my own home, then so be it.' Stern added: 'CEOs and other executives who watch and support this sport want to see basketball players on the court, but off the court, they want to see guys dressed up in suits just like everyone else in the world.' 
3	Why Is JP Morgan Accumulating The Biggest Stockpile Of Physical Silver In History?By Michael Snyder But in recent times, the price of silver has actually fallen quite a bit. As I write this, it is sitting at the ridiculously low price of $15.66 an ounce. So up to this point, JP Morgans investment in silver has definitely not paid off. But it will pay off in a big way if we will soon be entering a time of great financial turmoil. During a time of crisis, investors tend to flood into physical gold and silver. And as I mentioned just recently, JPMorgan Chase chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon recently stated that there will be another crisis in a letter to shareholders Some things never change there will be another crisis, and its impact will be felt by the financial market. The trigger to the next crisis will not be the same as the trigger to the last one but there will be another crisis. Triggering events could be geopolitical (the 1973 Middle East crisis), a recession where the Fed rapidly increases interest rates (the 1980-1982 recession), a commodities price collapse (oil in the late 1980s), the commercial real estate crisis (in the early 1990s), the Asian crisis (in 1997), so-called bubbles (the 2000 Internet bubble and the 2008 mortgage/housing bubble), etc. While the past crises had different roots (you could spend a lot of time arguing the degree to which geopolitical, economic or purely financial factors caused each crisis), they generally had a strong effect across the financial markets And Dimon is apparently putting his money where his mouth is. If Dimon believes that another great crisis is coming, then it would make logical sense to stockpile huge amounts of precious metals. And in particular, silver is a tremendous bargain for a variety of reasons. Personally, I like gold, but I absolutely love silver especially at the price it is at right now. Over the past few years, JP Morgan has been voraciously buying up physical silver. Nobody has ever seen anything quite like this ever before. In fact, JP Morgan has added more than 8 million ounces of physical silverduring the past couple of weeks alone Theyre baaaaack.Yes, old faithful is back at it again! Of course, they never really left silver, and have been rigging it non-stop in the futures market, but for awhile there, there were at least no admissionsof newly-stacked silver being made in their Comex warehousing facilities. Yet, after a 16 month period of dormancy within their Comex warehouse vaults,these guys have returned with a vengeance. In fact, our old buddies at JP Morgan Chase, not onlysee value in silver here, but theyre currently standing for delivery in their own house account in such strong numbers, that it commandsour attention. Let me show you what I mean. Heres a breakdown of theComexs most recent silver deliveries to JP Morgan: April 7th:1,110,000 ounces This is a huge bout of deliveries in such a short space of time. In fact, within the realm of Comex world, its such an exceptionally large amount, that it even creates quite a spike on the long-term chart of JP Morgans vault stockpile: Full report at The Wealth Watchman(via Steve Quayle and Realist News) Do they know something that the rest of us do not? Meanwhile, JP Morgan Chase has made another very curious move as well. It isbeing reported that the bank is restricting the use of cash in some markets, and has even gone so far as to prohibit the storage of cash in safe deposit boxes What is a surprise is how little notice the rollout ofChases new policyhas received. As of March, Chase began restricting the use of cash in selected markets, including Greater Cleveland. The new policy restricts borrowers from using cash to make payments on credit cards, mortgages, equity lines, and autoloans. Chase even goes as far as to prohibit the storage of cash in its safe deposit boxes . In a letter to its customers dated April 1, 2015 pertaining to its Updated Safe Deposit Box Lease Agreement, one of the highlighted items reads: You agree not to store any cash or coins other than those found to have a collectible value. Whether or not this pertains to gold and silver coins with no numismatic value is not explained. What in the world is that all about? Why is JP Morgan suddenly so negative about cash? I think that there is a whole lot more going on behind the scenes than we are being told. JP Morgan Chase is the largest of the six too big to fail banks in the United States. The total amount of assets that JP Morgan Chase controls is roughly equal to the GDP of the entire British economy. This is an institution that is immensely powerful and that has very deep ties to the U.S. government. Could it be possible that JP Morgan Chase is anticipating another great economic crisis? We are definitely due for one. Just consider the following chart from Zero Hedge. It postulates that our financial system is ready for another 7.5 year itch What about you? Are you getting ready for what is coming? This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog. 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. Isnt the REASON silver is so low that the big banks are manipulating the price because they had so much silver paper out there with nothing to back it up that they were at a huge risk and this allowed them to stock up at a cheaper price? E X A C T L Y ! ! ! And who did Obama pick as his chief financial advisor about 3 years ago. none other than the former CFO of Chase Physical silver. Not to be confused with emotional silver what happened to legal tender for all debts public n private. these banks just make up their own rules as they go along huh? well they walk all over the playing ground bound by nothing more than avarice and they despise the country and despise its people,we dont need banks they are a parasite and arew blocking a veritable paradise this could be ,free energy,is the key.and it is absolutley allrteady doable with little trouble.this whole thing needs to be restarted and done with the tech that is being withheld, no parasites bankers no usury. as they saw a hundred imbeciles could coem up with a better system than the 1000 degenerates doing it now. 
1	WASHINGTON, DCIn a surprising last-minute upset, all seven Democratic presidential hopefuls somehow lost the Democratic primaries Tuesday. Democratic Candidates 'While it's true that the Democratic Party has been struggling to find a strong voice, you can imagine our surprise when results indicated that John Kerry, Howard Dean, Wesley Clark, Joe Lieberman, and John Edwards all failed to carry a single primary,' American Research Group political analyst Dick Bennett said late Tuesday. 'Oh, and Al Sharpton and Dennis Kucinich, too.' Primaries were held in Delaware, Missouri, Arizona, Oklahoma, and South Carolina, with no single Democratic candidate coming in higher than second place. Experts are still unsure exactly how Kerry, whom many considered the frontrunner after strong showings in Iowa and New Hampshire, lost to, and along with, every other Democratic candidate. 'Given our standing going into Tuesday, we were surprised not to take at least one state,' Kerry campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill said. 'But, in all honesty, we were a hell of a lot more baffled that none of the other Democratic candidates won, either.' Aggregate results from the five states, with all districts reporting, show Kerry leading the other candidates, but at a distant second. 'We're going to keep fighting,' Kerry said. 'I'm not going to throw in the towel just because I have no idea how it is even remotely possible for all of us to lose our own primary.' 'I didn't give up in Vietnam, and I won't give up here,' Kerry added. Dean shared Kerry's mixture of confusion and resolve. 'I'd like to thank everyone who worked so hard on my campaign,' Dean said. 'I'll need your continued support as we go to Michigan, to Washington, to Maine... With your help, I know this campaign, or one of the Democratic campaigns, can take those primaries.' After polls closed Tuesday evening, Democratic Party officials were ready to concede defeat, but no one was sure to whom the concession call should be made. President Bush watches the results of Tuesday's primaries on television. 'Well, we certainly can't blame this one on the Republicans,' Democratic National Convention head Terry McAuliffe said. 'I guess we have to blame the candidates? Organizers like myself? Negative campaigning? The media?' McAuliffe said candidates will have to consider how it will look to Americans that Democrats lost in a voting situation where only Democrats were on the ballot. 'While we weren't sure who would win in November, our party really thought we had this one in the bag,' McAuliffe said. 'But we're not a group that puts its tail between its legs and runs. There's still time to get the message out there: Vote Democrat for Democrat.' Several pundits have already called the Democratic primary loss the worst defeat in the party's history. Appearing on CNN, political analyst Larry Sabato said the results indicate a 'combination of voter cautionwith voters hesitant to cast votes when no one candidate stands outa;nd complete and utter mathematic improbability.' 'The Democratic Party is in damage-control mode right now,' Sabato said. 'But remember, that's a mode they're familiar with. They're definitely on the home court here.' Sabato added: 'Anyway, in a political era during which Bush can get into the White House with fewer votes than his opponent, even a loss of this magnitude doesn't mean the race is over.' 
3	Smart Meter Case Testimony Before the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission: What No One Wants to Acknowledge About EMF Damage (Part 3 of 4)By Catherine J. Frompovich Because theres a real possible/probable link between electromagnetic fields and cancer, I submit into the record the WHO/IARC Class 2B carcinogen classification as Exhibit B-1 6 pages. To further expand upon the WHOs carcinogen classification, I introduce Exhibit B-2 Radiofrequency and Mammary Carcinogenesis in Rats: The Ramazzini Study. Since the definitive RF/EMF cancer cause has been a subject of deliberate controversy for several decadesreminiscent of the health issues and problems vested interests like Big Tobacco, asbestos, lead (Pb) and pharmaceutical prescription drugs also created in the past, Im compelled to include a few in my testimony. Remember how cigarettes/tobacco-didnt-cause-cancer and more doctors smoked Camels than any other cigarettes[1]. How many doctors smoke cigarettes today? Furthermore, recall that one-time-apparently-safe asbestos building materials were used everywhere only to be found to cause mesothelioma[2], thereby closing and/or retrofitting schools and public buildings to eliminate exposure to it[3]. Recall how lead (Pb) in paints[4] and gasoline once were dangerously ubiquitous. Today all gasoline is leadfree by federal law[5] and there are no lead-based paints! When will the PA PUC come up to speed on microwave technology and AMI Smart Meter RFs/EMFs? Microwave RFs and EMFs currently are in the same category of those health-producing horrors of the past I just mentioned, but no one is listening now. Why arent they? Those who sound the alarm and protest are harassed, bullied and prosecuted. What will it take before we have a major health catastrophe from microwave non-ionizing radiation poisoning and cancers? One specific reason to oppose AMI Smart Meters is those meters insatiable spewing [24/7/365] of harmonics and dirty electricity every 15 seconds on to home electric wires thereby creating a microwave oven-like effect within residences where families and pets are exposed constantly, but cannot turn off the AMI Smart Meter like they can their microwave ovens, cell phones, TVs, etc.! Furthermore, one cancer is on the upswing from microwave RFs/EMFs: glioblastomasa certain type of brain cancer. See Exhibit C EMFacts Consultancys Microwave News: One Type of Brain Tumor IS Going Up, the Deadliest Kind wherein despite all the media and vested interest contradictionswhich are the real problem in microwave technologythe deadliest and most virulent type of brain tumor, GBMs, is increasing. And, childrens brains are the most vulnerable because of their small body mass and growing bodies! I want to introduce the principle of culpability at law as Exhibit D-1 wherein due to the PA PUC and PECO choosing to deliberately disregard prominent medical and scientific information, and apparently choose to rely upon 50-to-60 year old radar safety studies that do NOT address non-thermal health damages that were not acknowledged back then, but definitely are now, all entities are legally culpable due to willful negligence, plus deliberate omission of providing safe, non-thermal, dirty-electricity-free, non-RF/EMF electric service to customers/consumers, as they did for decades prior to retrofitting AMI Smart Meters. In Exhibit D-2 there are 20 Neurological effects from RFs identified and known as far back and published in February 1974, which Frompovich respectfully points out and also asks why the PA PUC has not taken them into consideration is that an omission of state agency duty?, since those non-thermal adverse health effects have been acknowledged and published over 42 YEARS ago? Whats your excuse, may I ask and also have your answer, please? As Exhibit E, I introduce a 33-minute YouTube video, The Dark Side of Smart Meters, which can be accessed at this URL address https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLeCTaSG2-U . Please take note of the information at these timeframes 8:25, 17:15, 22:12, 24, 25 and 30 and which are noted in outline fashion in the Exhibit E video attachment I prepared. As Exhibit F, I introduce the Journal of Microscopy and Ultrastructure article Why children absorb more microwave radiation than adults: The consequences keyword carcinogen. Attached is that 7-page printed journal article. As Exhibit G, I introduce the published journal article Exposure limits: The underestimation of absorbed cell phone radiation, especially in children. Cell phones and AMI Smart Meters operate on microwave technology, but the one undeniable difference is you can turn off a cell phone; you cannot turn off an AMI Smart Meter RFs/EMFs, which transmit 24/7/365, thereby preventing and eliminating ANY informed consumer choice, creating and implementing a forced health-hazard mandate with no viable process for relief and/or redress at the Commonwealth levels of governance and administrationa most unusual legal place for the PA PUC and the state to find themselves, I contend. As Exhibit H, I introduce EMFs and changes in the Complete Blood Count, a 3-page exhibit noting the changes that artificial EMFs produce in bone marrow and all blood cells, platelets, globules, etc. It should be noted that dirty electricity coming off AMI Smart Meters onto and into house wires creates high spike radiation almost equivalent to phone masts or relay antenna, with 3 citations to that effect in Exhibit H. Such changes have great impact on blood cell physiology, including blood cancers. As Exhibit I, I introduce the American Academy of Environmental Medicines 5-page report, Electromagnetic and Radiofrequency Fields Effect on Human Health attached and available online at https://www.aaemonline.org/emf_rf_position.php , which includes a Bibliography of 31 resources. As Exhibit J, I introduce Microwave Sickness with a cover sheet explanation, 2 video explanations with online URL addresses, and the Oxford University Press publication Microwave sickness: a reappraisal 4 pages attached and online at http://occmed.oxfordjournals.org/content/51/1/66.long As Exhibit K, I introduce The Microwave Syndrome, a 3-page printed report and online at http://mext-up.org/pdf/MicrowaveSyndrome012007Uk.pdf , plus an overview which outlines The most usual pathologies resulting from the microwave syndrome including BREAST CANCER, something Frompovich is familiar with and wants to avoid as a breast cancer survivor. Attention needs to be focused on Brain pathology: tumors, opening of the blood brain barrier, electroencephalogram disturbances! How do AMI Smart Meter RFs/EMFs affect those with ADD, ADHD, and Autism? Why are the PA PUC, PECO and the PA state legislature so intent in causing harm, and in particular, carcinogenic exposures for children and older citizens by mandating a cancer-causing technology be attached to everyones home, business, school and workplace? As Exhibit L, I introduce U.S. Military Role in Deterring Safe Radiowaves Microwaves Unclassified Document! This is the MOST DAMNING information no one wants to know or accept, since it documents the U.S. militarys resistance to lowering the guidelines and their distrust of research conducted in the Eastern Bloc Countries. That distrust and the power wielded by the U.S. military are largely responsible for the status of the current grossly deficient guidelines, which fail to protect the publics and workers health. Two disturbing paragraphs in the U.S. Army document *Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Radiation (Radiowaves and Microwaves) Eurasian Communist Countries (U)* prepared by U.S. Army Medical Intelligence and Information Agency Office of the Surgeon General, et al, clearly indicate the U.S. militarys perspective opposing more stringent guidelines to microwave radiation. The second disturbing paragraph is most notable: Should subsequent research result in adoption of the Soviet standard by other countries, industries whose practices are based on less stringent safety regulations, could be required to make costly modifications in order to protect workers. Recognition of the 0.01 mW/cm2 [0.01 milliwatts per centimeter squared] standard could also limit the application of new technology by making the commercial exploitation of some products unattractive because of increased cost, imposed by the need for additional safeguards. (Page 24) [CJF emphasis added] That *report* can be found at http://www.magdahavas.com/pick-of-the-week-23-research-on-biological-effects-of-radio-frequency-radiation-in-eurasian-communist-countries-1976/ The same can be applied to microwave technology depending upon 1940s outdated information, when there is over a half-century of updated EMF/RF science the microwave industry refuses to accept and which the reasons for preventing safety are stated in the U.S. Army Intelligence report mentioned above. Is that collusion and, therefore, illegal? However, I want to bring to your attention what the U.S. Navy is doing now regarding EMF research: The Office of Naval Research http://www.onr.navy.mil/ (ONR) is an organization within the U.S. Department of the Navy that coordinates, executes, and promotes the science and technology programs of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps through schools, universities, government laboratories, nonprofit organizations, and for-profit organizations. Due to the rapid development of high power directed energy weapons technology, the ONR is supporting research that explores new materials and protection schemes of electromagnetically sensitive components from high power incident radiation.[6] [CJF emphasis added] Doesnt that tell you that high power radiation and electromagnetic sensitives are scientifically recognized? Under which rocks are PECOs scientists hiding to avoid knowing about updated EMF science thats more current than the 1940s? There ARE mammoth amounts of research studies of updated EMF/RF research that totally discredits PECOs World War II vintage EMF safety studies, if only PECO and the PA PUC were honest enough to look for and accept them, not deny them in order to perpetuate some insidious control agenda that harms the publics health and wellbeing. May I respectfully remind all parties involved in the microwave technologys unscientific game being played regarding no Non-thermal adverse health effects, non-Administrative Law courts look quite differently upon failure to warn about cancer when the probabilities are known? A classic case is Johnson Johnsons baby talcum powder causing an Alabama womans ovarian cancer and for which her estate won a $72 million[7] award because JJ knew what the talc could do; disregarded the facts; plus didnt warn the buying public. JJ still has 1,200 lawsuits pending. Personally, Id like to see a similar turn of events take place for utility companies and the PA PUC regarding EMFs/RFs. As Exhibit M, I introduce a 2-page printed overview of Non-thermal Electromagnetic Health Effects peer review papers published online at PubMed, which includes cancer and carcinogenic potentials. As Exhibit N, I introduce the 74-page Report of Partial Findings from the National Toxicology Program Carcinogenesis Studies of Cell Phone Radiofrequency Radiation in Hsd: Sprague Dawley rats (Whole Body Exposure) made public in May of 2016 available online at http://biorxiv.org/content/biorxiv/early/2016/05/26/055699.ful.pdf . Since that report has so many pages, Ive elected not to attach a print copy, but I include a 3-page overview U.S. Government Study Finds That Wireless Causes Cancer with links to news stories while pointing out pertinent information on pages 27 (Malignant Glioma/tumors), 28 (Schwannomas in the heart), 24 (Lesion descriptions in the brain and heart), and pages 4 and 6. The NTP study performed by a federal government agency, The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), consequently bears legal weight, which the PA PUC, utilities, business, and industry MUST accept as valid scientific information, otherwise be liable for and charged with culpability under the law, Frompovich offers. As Exhibit O, I introduce the graphic Radiofrequency Research: Does Funding Matter? that illustrates RF research done by Non-industry studies confirm 70% HARMFUL effects and 30% no effects, which I held up before as a show and tell poster. Whereas, Industry sponsored studies confirm only 32% HARMFUL effects with 68% no effects. Since these figures just about cancel out each other, the National Toxicology Program May 2016 study obviously has to be taken seriouslyalong with the Precautionary Principleby the PA PUC and utility companies. Furthermore, it ought to be apparent from the exhibits Ive introduced that microwave PECO-promoted EMF science obviously is willfully lagging on how electromagnetic fields, a form of low energy, non-ionizing radiation, could and/or does cause cancer and other health anomalies and problems. Where is PECOs current microwave technology science? Not that from the 1940s! That technological lag, I offer, probably is by deliberate design, as was tobaccos pseudoscience for umpteen years, before and until the 1964 Surgeon Generals Report on Smoking and Health[8].

The ad agency had great legal consultants, didnt they? When one examines the content of most advertising, one can find a parallel to this using nonsense which implies some startling conclusion and then there are the disclaimers at the end/bottom. The worst of it all is the selling of a malady, then selling a drug to treat the symptoms. Late night TV is a continuous parade of this little subterfuge. Are we still falling for this scam? What fools these mortals be, Willy of the shaking spear had it dead right. We hardly have to listen, as our subconscious mind records and tabulates it all, subtly influencing our decision making. 
1	According to a study published Monday in the Journal Of Mental Health, the paint department inside a Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse has surpassed the shelving section of Ikea as the location most conducive to having a total psychological breakdown. The study, which observed a cross-section of 750 average, mentally sound Americans as they shopped at a variety of retail outlets, found that the singularly chaotic qualities of a Lowe's paint aisle, combined with its overwhelming number of product choices, make it the ideal place to completely fall apart. 'Even the most well-adjusted individual can be reduced to a feeble, trembling shell of his or her former self after a half hour of paint shopping at Lowe's,' said Dr. Olivia Kang, a behavioral psychologist at the University of Texas and lead author of the study. 'The pressure to make a decision between two seemingly identical shades of beige, the glaring fluorescent lights, the frantic patrons on all sidesit's too much for the human psyche to process.' 'In terms of causing normal, healthy adults to completely lose their shit, the Lowe's paint department amounts to a perfect storm,' Kang added. Seventy-seven percent of those observed in the study crumbled within 23 minutes of browsing the aisle, with the length and severity of symptoms increasing greatly among participants who inadvertently wandered into the lighting fixture department while trying to make a paint choice. Many were later found in a disoriented, fugue-like state, clutching dozens of color samples in their sweat-soaked hands and mumbling incoherently about satin and eggshell sheens. 'The effects of the external stimuli are often exacerbated by internal pressures, such as fear of an altercation with one's significant other stemming from an incorrect choice,' Kang said. 'This typically leads to a broader questioning of both one's worth as a human being and the purpose of life.' According to the study, these feelings of inadequacy cause many to break down as they become convinced they haven't the slightest idea what the hell they're doing. Other shopping environments, including the bedding department of Kmart, the changing rooms at Macy's, and Target, have been known to trigger complete emotional collapse. However, researchers found that the paint aisle at Lowe's is unique in the way it causes shoppers to abuse themselves for being so weak-willed and stupid, which is why they bought the goddamned house in the first place, even though it cost too much, and also why they settled down with someone they're not even sure they actually love, just because all their friends started getting married. '[The Lowe's paint aisle] essentially becomes a giant mirror that reflects a crippling image of one's most profound failures as a human being,' Kang said. 'The place is a fucking nightmare.' According to evolutionary psychologist Peter Nowitsky, the undue stress caused in modern retail situations triggers the severe nervous condition as a self-preservation mechanism. This response is intended to minimize traumatic damage by prompting individuals to extricate themselves from the situation as quickly as possible. 'These horrible, unnatural places are little more than giant Skinner boxes designed to tear people down to their basest selves,' Nowitsky said. 'In a very short period of time, everything you thought you knew about yourself as a person has been destroyed, and you end up buying the first thing you can lay your hands on just so you can be done with it and go home.' 'That's how this office ended up this god-awful salmon color,' Nowitsky added. 
3	Beware The Media Industrial ComplexBy Chris Veritas I beg to differ. Here are a few troubling questions that I feel greatly undermine the idea that Mainstream Media is credible: 1: Why is it that when it comes to war, the same news sources that criticize the president constantly, suddenly all seem to lionize his cause? Shouldnt the opposite be true? Shouldnt there be at least some dissent among the Mainstream sources? Isnt this a little suspicious, if the press is free and independent? 2: How can it be that not only the press, but the entire nation has forgotten that the first case made to the American people concerning war with Syria was sold as being in order to depose Assad? Clearly ISIS existed at that point, so why were they not the target? When exactly did they become the worlds Super Enemy? Apparently this happened a few months after the Media campaign to attack Syria by other means failed. 3: When did it become okay to terrorize the viewing audience, weaving dubious tales of extremists hiding under every bush, meanwhile replaying distressing footage over and over again (like the falling of the towers), until the public is thoroughly brutalized. How many times did we need to see the towers fall? 1,000? 10,000? How disrespectful to the dead, and to the living. 4: When exactly did the trail of bodies following the Clintons not become news anymore? With a bit of research it becomes apparent that the entire Media apparatus is beholden to a handful of enormously powerful Corporations, which teach the public that this, of course, is a good thing. Corporations ought to be as large as possible they say, because: Capitalism! If the prevailing ideology makes them insanely powerful, and accidentally coincides with 99% of Americans being poor and in debt, well, at least were not Communists! And that is what you call a false dialectic. These entities, therefore, through their Media medium, construct opinion, polarize politics, shred the past like Winston in 1984, and obscure the present with the dope of hypnotic flicker rates, tantalizing tag lines, and the literal dope of drugs like Prozac and Ritalin, la Brave New World. 1: A legitimate media would harp incessantly on our nations constant violation of international law when waging war, and the hypocrisy of claiming to defend Democracy while violating it. 2: A legitimate media would remember that the Fed promised before its inception to scientifically prevent booms and busts, inflation, depressions, and crashes. Rather than analyze its promises and policies, what we get is stale superficial commentary, which completely overlooks history and current reality. No one apparently can criticize the printing of endless paper money, the mountains of debt our economy runs on, or the international banks (of which the Fed is one), which strip countries bare of resources (see: North America), and gamble trillions on derivatives while forcing austerity onto entire nations. And all the economists can say is: wow, look at those fourth quarter gains. 3: A legitimate media would run Trump and Hillary straight into the Gulf, and refuse to ratify the side show spectacle of our so-called presidential electoral proceedings. Amidst the glossy blues and reds of our dynamic digital cable displays (which seem to progress faster than the state of politics), planes are disappearing and were chasing pings, North Korea is hacking Sony in a fit of pique, Bill OReilly is killing great men faster than you can say obstreperous, while talking heads yell talking points on split screens to a divided audience. To many it is becoming clear that the Media is now an organized apologetics machine, and is no longer a source for information, as it pours forth the dialectics of the Anglo-American establishment. Big Money, which owns Big Media, supersizes the insignificant; barricades inconvenient facts; sells politics like Big Macs; tempts cravenly the debt-ridden with overpriced expendables; is tre cool with hyping vacuous celebrities, one-note politicians and golden doors, all at one time and with great gusto. And we become dumber and dumber as we absorb it all: fake news, fake money, fake culture, and fake representative Government. (Ah, America in 2015. Each day is better than the next.) Former president Eisenhower once famously said, Beware the military industrial complex, and we should have listened to him. But now the objectives of Big Military, Big Media/ Business/ Entertainment, and Big White House all seamlessly merge and overlap. One could be excused for wondering if were living in a thinly disguised tyranny, when the light of truth seems so strictly verboten. You can read more from Chris Veritas at his site Some Cry Wolf (AKA) The M$M 5th column.

You are watching Big Brother True its all FAKERY all the time governments tell the socalled news agencies what to say about this or that. Turn off the bozo tube and stop going to caballywood movies. Matthew 4: When the Spirit, or the Light of Illumination, descends upon anyone, that one is said to be Awakened, or Illumined, in Soul ; or, he is said to have attained Soul Consciousness. When one has truly attained Consciousness of Soul, he is able to baptize with the Holy Ghost ; for the Light, which is the Holy Ghost, has descended upon him and belongs to him. This Light remains with him ; for he has created it through his thoughts, his desires, and his deeds for humanity. The attributes of God are love and mercy; the attribute of Satan is hate. Therefore, he who is merciful and kind to his fellowmen is manifesting the divine attribute, and he who is hating and hostile toward a fellow creature is satanic. I havent watched television in twenty years. It was developed by DARPA and it entrains the viewers mind into a lower state of consciousness, namely a lower alpha/upper theta state. In this state, critical thinking is shut down and all input goes straight to the subconscious. I think thats why they humorously call it programing because it is programing you. Many are aware of brand placement where shows and movies are paid money to use a particular brand for the show, like the main character drinking Coors beer and being careful to hold the label where the camera can see it. Now they have behavior placement, where you can pay to have a character act a certain way or hold certain beliefsguess what folksthe government spends more money on behavior placement then all other entities combined. Yep.they spend money they got from you via taxes and spend it programming you. And you wonder why people are so hard to wake up or enlighten. Why so many people seem like brain dead sheep..I dont wonder I know why. Do yourself a favor and stop watching the damn thing..in studies, they find that TV actually lowers your IQ. Books raise your IQ. Not so thinly disguised, less so than ever, and a decades-old reality (the propagandizing and deceit of the corporate press). More people than ever today are seeing through the obvious glaringly obvious deception, hopefully enough to make a difference in the long run. 
2	The View To Be Cancelled After Host Makes Disgusting Comment About Bill Clinton Rape Victims [VIDEO] On Sunday night, Donald Trump made the controversial decision to show up to the presidential debate with three brave women who have been victims of former President Bill Clinton. Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Wiley, and Paula Jones were all sexually assaulted by Clinton in the past. In an effort to confront him, they sat just feet away from him during the debate. The hosts of The View are usually advocates for women who have faced sexual assault, but in this case, they took a very different approach. According to Infowars, Joy Behar called the women tramps and argued that Hillary should have confronted them for sleeping with her husband. Liberals reacted with laughter, as if calling rape victims tramps is a funny concept. The Views Joy Behar calls Bill Clintons rape victims tramps, liberal audience laughs. But they really care about women, Paul Joseph Watson tweeted, calling the matter into attention. What do you think? Are you tired of the hypocrisy? 
3	Princeton Professor Shows How Easy It Is To Hack An Election In Just 7 MinutesBy Claire Bernish In fact, Professor Andrew Appel and grad student Alex Halderman took just seven minutes to break into the authentic Sequoia AVC Advantage electronic voting machine Appel purchased for $82 online one of the oldest models, but still in use Louisiana, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Virginia, Politico reported. After Halderman picked the hulking, 250-pound machines lock in seven seconds flat, Appel wrested its four ROM chips from a circuit board an easy feat, considering the chips werent soldered in place. Once freed, Appel could facilely replace the ROM chips with his own version of modified firmware that could throw off the machines results, subtly altering the tally of votes, never to betray a hint to the voter, Politicos Ben Wofford explained. Appel and a team of other so-called cyber-academics have hacked into various models of electronic voting machines in order to prove to the public the equipment is ridiculously bereft of security. Together with Ed Felten, Appel and a group of Princeton students relentlessly hacked one voting machine after another reprogramming one popular machine to play Pac-Man; infecting popular models with self-duplicating malware; [and] discovering keys to voting machine locks that could be ordered on eBay. Their efforts have gone largely ignored for 15 years. If primaries were successfully rigged through corporate media collusion and behind-the-scenes coordination between the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clintons campaign, voters will certainly wonder whats in store when they cast ballots using deeply-vulnerable electronic voting machines. Perhaps that lack of security prompted the Department of Homeland Security to declare electronic voting machines part of U.S. critical infrastructure this week a designation generally reserved for 16 sectors, including transportation systems, dams, and utilities, among other things deemed so vital to the United States that their incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating effect on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination thereof. Now that attention has been given to the ease with which a number of popular, still-employed voting machines can be compromised, officials and voters alike have expressed grave concerns about the upcoming election. This isnt a crazy hypothetical anymore, Dan Wallach, a computer science professor at Rice and veteran of the team of Princeton hackers, noted. Once you bring nation states cyber activity into the game? he hinted of potential Russian connections to the DNC hack and possible implications of foreign meddling in the national election. These machines, they barely work in a friendly environment. Thirty-one prominent security experts with the Aspen Institute Homeland Security Group issued a statement in response to the DNC hack at the end of July, imploring precautions be taken because [o]ur electoral process could be a target for reckless foreign governments and terrorist groups. Look, we could see 15 years ago that this would be perfectly possible, Appel told Wofford. Its well within the capabilities of a country as sophisticated as Russia. He added ominously, Actually, its well within the capabilities of much less well-funded and sophisticated attackers. Electronic voting machines hit the U.S. electoral process in full force following the hanging chad controversy in the Bush-Gore race in 2000, in which ballots had to be hand-counted. Ludicrous pictures inundated the news, showing elections officials assiduously examining paper ballots to determine if partially-punched choices equated actual votes in the tight race a scene officials hoped electronic voting machines would avoid repeating. But those machines presented notorious problems of their own. As Wofford explained: The Princeton group has a simple message: That the machines that Americans use at the polls are less secure than the iPhones they use to navigate their way there. Theyve see the skeletons of code inside electronic votings digital closet, and theyve mastered the equipments vulnerabilities perhaps better than anyone (a contention the voting machine companies contest, of course). They insist the elections could be vulnerable at myriad strike points, among them the software that aggregates the precinct vote totals, and the voter registration rolls that are increasingly digitized. But the threat, the cyber experts say, starts with the machines that tally the votes and crucially keep a record of them or, in some cases, dont. Because this electronic equipment is now horribly outdated some machines manufacturers no longer offer tech support and considered, in large part, a failed experiment, much has been phased out for better options. But not completely and those better options still can be easily tampered with, according to Appel and his team. Indeed, the issues with electronic voting methods are too voluminous to recount in a single article, though Wofford does provide a thorough, albeit lengthy, summary here. As voters prepare to putatively choose the next American president in November, tales of rigged elections from the primaries to the presidency continue to top headlines across the country. With the sheer mountain of political funny business already evidenced this year, electronic voting machines dont offer anywhere near the sound comfort of retribution the voting public craves. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Houston, weve got a problem. Democratic self governance, a questionable proposition at best, is being severely tested. Our system is completely corrupted and dumbed down voters cant wait to elect their next savior so they can go back to sleep for another four years. The economy stinks, but our President maintains its awesome. Everything is rigged, and folks, corporations and sovereigns are up to their eyeballs in debt. Robots and other incredible technologies are disintermediating the known world at an ever increasing rate, and AI is about to take over the planet. Dont worry, everything is at a safe level. OK fine. Security color code is at least south of magenta, all is well. The voting machines need to be thoroughly tested. The GEMS system of fractional numbers is absurd and easily hacked or rather programmed. Im sure it is the only way the coke head biped of the dems could take the oath (what a joke). Voting machines must be BANNED, not tested. It is naive to presume that those in power will not continue to rig elections through these flawed machines, WE must demand PAPER BALLOTS HAND COUNTED WHILE OBSERVED by all who have an interest in the election, ie, representatives of all parties involved. That is the only way WE can hope to have our votes ACTUALLY COUNT again.NO MORE VOTING MACHINES!!! _ Lets quit the fakery all together and quit pretending. Lets just sell the presidency. Let the Repugnicons and Demoncraps put their money in a box give it to the Treasury and who ever had most gets to be president. Or maybe we could quit voting for the crooks! How sad for US that what you propose is prolly already the paradigm. Weve seen the enemy and they is US. Thank you. Trojan horses from the corporatists. Trump is a chump. A good ol wrestling winner take all match. didnt one of the guys working for the democratic party who created some of the first code for digital voting machines also give a statement in person to congress stating how the machines code was designed for fraud from the ground level? this was back in the 90s i believe. ty i knew i had seen this video before. so 2 decades or so later and still we have the rigged machines. obviously they want them that way. Right now my understanding is that less than 10% of the total population is even voting, one way or the other, in the last primary. Which means that some 4+ percent will be the people deciding what creature inhabits the White House. This why the U.N. now will not certify our elections, basically refusing to recognize them. They ranked us #47 in Election Integrity: Banana Republic. YES! Dan Rather reported at Mark Cubans net tv almost 10 years ago that many parties colluded to produce poor quality paper then shipped it cross country to FL as a way to produce the desired result of hanging chats. Well theres a reason for paper ballots and public viewing of the counting thereof. Kind of like there was once upon a time a reason you elected your own sheriff and who controlled all the law enforcement in your county. Those kind of things. Maybe we should think about going backwards for a change huh? 
3	U.S. Endorses Expansion of Military Force Used By U.N. Peacekeepers in Combat ZonesBy Brandon Turbeville U.S. Ambassador the U.N. and notorious warmonger against Libya and Syria, Samantha Power stated that the Kigali Principles would make peacekeeping missions more effective, improve security and save lives. The Kigali Principles are designed to make sure that civilians are not abandoned by the international community again, said Power. The Kigali Principles call for countries who contribute troops to UN missions to give UN Peacekeeping Commanders the authority to use military force against armed actors with clear hostile intent to harm civilians without waiting for approval from the United Nations and its member states. If a commander has to wait hours and hours for guidance from capital, it may mean not being able to react in time to repel a fast-approaching attack on a nearby village, Power added. The Kigali initiative was introduced by the United States, the Netherlands, and Rwanda in 2015. According to a report from the Military Times, U.N. peacekeeping forces from the 29 countries signing on to the principles are now required to act if civilians are in danger. Austria, Bangladesh, Belgium, Burkina Faso, Canada, Djibouti, Estonia, Ethiopia, Finland, former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Germany, Ghana, Guinea, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Malawi, Montenegro, Netherlands, Niger, Poland, Romania, Rwanda, Senegal, Slovenia, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Togo, Ukraine, Uganda, United States, Uruguay and Zambia Notably absent from the list of signatories is Russia, China, Iran, and Lebanon as well as a number of other anti NATO countries. The possibility of United Nations forces being used as a wider and seemingly more official and credible invading force is very real, especially in places like Syria where, despite all evidence to the contrary, the United States, GCC, the West in general and the United Nations continually harp about Assads crimes against humanity and civilians while ignoring the crimes of the Western-backed terrorists who have run rampant across the country, displaying a clear institutional bias against states like Syria who operate outside of the totally control of the Anglo-European, Anglo-American banking axis. Likewise, many civilians may be as worried about the U.N. peacekeepers as they are of their own despotic governments and warlords after a trail of sexual abuse, rapes, assaults, and murders have been left in the U.Ns wake in places like Haiti, Congo, Ivory Coast, Libya, Mali, Sudan, and Central African Republic. Many are concerned about the growing power of U.N. in domestic national matters, particularly after reports ofrecent sightings of U.N. vehicles being carried on flatbed trucks began making theirrounds on the Internet and alternative media networks. While many skeptic organization like Snopes tried to debunk the sightings as mere transport of American-manufactured vehicles to coastal ports (manufactured by BAE), World Net Daily contacted BAE and Aplineco, who denied that the vehicles belonged to their company. We, the troop and police contributing countries, following the International Conference on the Protection of Civilians held in Kigali, from 28-29 May 2015 under the theme Protection of Civilians through Peacekeeping: From Mandates Design to Implementation; bringing together the top 30 troop and police contributing countries, the top ten financial contributing countries and other stakeholders; and after deliberations on how to effectively implement the Protection of Civilians mandates in peacekeeping operations, pledge the following: 1. To train all of our troops on the protection of civilians prior to their deployment to missions. 2. To ensure that our sector and contingent-commanders, as well as our nominees for mission leadership positions, have a high level of training and preparedness on peacekeeping operations and, in particular, the protection of civilians. 3. To be prepared to use force to protect civilians, as necessary and consistent with the mandate. Such action encompasses making a show of force as a deterrent; inter-positioning our forces between armed actors and civilians; and taking direct military action against armed actors with clear hostile intent to harm civilians. 4. Not to stipulate caveats or other restrictions that prevent us from fulfilling our responsibility to protect civilians in accordance with the mandate. 5. To identify and communicate to the UN any resource and capability gaps that inhibit our ability to protect civilians. 6. To strive, within our capabilities, to contribute the enabling capabilities (e.g. helicopters) to peacekeeping operations that facilitate improved civilian protection. 7. To avoid undue delay in protecting civilians, by investing our contingent commander with the authority to use force to protect civilians in urgent situations without the need for further consultations with capital. 8. Not to hesitate to take action to protect civilians, in accordance with the rules of engagement, in the absence of an effective host government response or demonstrated willingness to carry out its responsibilities to protect civilians. 9. To demand clarity from the UN and mission leadership on our rules of engagement, including under which circumstances the use of force is appropriate. 10. To seek to identify, as early as possible, potential threats to civilians and proactively take steps to mitigate such threats and otherwise reduce the vulnerability of the civilian population. 11. To seek to enhance the arrangements for rapid deployment, including by supporting a full review of the UNs standby arrangements, exploring a system in which earmarked units from troop and police contributing countries could be placed in readiness in order to ensure rapid troop deployment, and encouraging the utilisation of partnerships with regional organisations such as the African Union and its RECs. 12. To be vigilant in monitoring and reporting any human rights abuses or signs of impending violence in the areas in which our personnel serve. 13. To take disciplinary action against our own personnel if and when they fail to act to protect civilians when circumstances warrant such action. 14. To undertake our own review, in parallel to any after-action review, in the event that our personnel are unable to protect civilians, and identify and share key lessons for avoiding such failures in the future. 15. To hold our own personnel to the highest standard of conduct, and to vigorously investigate and, where appropriate, prosecute any incidents of abuse. 16. To better implement protection of civilians mandates and deliver on our responsibilities, we request better, regular and more extensive consultations on the mandating of peacekeeping missions. When mandates of peacekeeping missions are under review and may change, it should also be mandatory for the Security Council to consult all troop and police contributing countries deployed to the mission. We commit to bring our own ideas and solutions to these consultations that can strengthen the implementation of protection of civilians mandates. 17. To urge the Security Council to ensure that mandates are matched with the requisite resources, and to commit to support a process that addresses the current critical resource gaps in several missions. We support a more phased mandating process that can ensure a better alignment of resources and mandates. 18. Noting that any well-planned mandate implementation may be undermined by inefficient mobility, logistics or support; To call for effective support of all military plans, including contingency plans; and to commit to work with the Secretariat to review the current support arrangements, including possible transfer of authority over more of the logistical capability to the military component, where appropriate. Recommend that these principles be endorsed on a voluntary basis and that the signatories meet once each year to discuss how to further improve the implementation of the Protection of Civilians mandate in UN peacekeeping operations.

2	The Trumps will be an incredible first family. Do you agree? CNN has been attacking Donald Trump ever since he first announced his candidacy in June of 2015. So its mind-blowing that they didnt expect backlash when they sat down with his daughter Ivanka. During the interview, Ivanka passionately defended her father, calling him the most formidable negotiator shes ever seen. She also noted that he has been a major contributor to the progression of women in the business world. My father is very blunt, she commented. Hes very direct. He is not gender specific in his criticism of people, and people that he doesnt particularly like or people that he does not like but thinks theyre wrong on a particular issue. So I dont think hes gender-targeted at all. Like I said, I wouldnt be the person I am today, I wouldnt be a high-level executive within his organization if he felt that way. What do you think of Ivankas interview? Watch it below and tell us what you think. 
3	The Federal Reserve Is Paying Banks NOT To Lend 1.8 Trillion Dollars To The American PeopleMichael Snyder Back in October 2008, just as the last financial crisis was starting, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke announced that the Federal Reserve would start paying interest on the reserves that banks keep at the Fed. This caused an absolute explosion in the size of these reserves. Back in 2008, U.S. banks had less than 2 billion dollars of excess reserves parked at the Fed. Today, they have more than 1.8 trillion. In less than five years, the pile of excess reserves has gotten nearly 1,000 times larger. This is utter insanity, and it will have very serious consequences down the road. Posted below is a chart that shows the explosive growth of these excess reserves in recent years Posted below is a chart that shows the growth of the M2 money supply over the past several decades. It has been fairly steady, but imagine what would happen if you took the hockey stick from the chart above and suddenly added it to the top of this one In a recent article for the Huffington Post, Professor Robert Auerbach of the University of Texas explained the nightmarish situation that we are facing One reason that the excess reserves grew to an extraordinary level is that in October 2008, one month after the financial crisis when Lehman Brothers went bankrupt, the Bernanke Fed began paying interest on bank reserves. Although it has been 1/4 of 1 percent interest, this risk free rate was not low compared to the Feds policy of keeping short-term market rates near zero. The interest banks received was and is an incentive to hold the excess reserves rather than lend to consumers and businesses in the risky environment of the major recession and the slow recovery. The Bernanke Fed is now facing a $1.863 trillion time bomb, they helped to create, of excess reserves in the private banking system. If rates of interest on income earning assets (including bank loans to consumers and businesses) rise, the Fed will have to pay the banks more interest to hold their excess reserves. If interest rates move up dramatically (and they are already starting to rise significantly), banks will have an incentive to take that money out of the Fed and start lending it out. Professor Auerbach suggests that this could cause an avalanche of money pouring into the economy Eighty five billion a month will seem tiny compared to the avalanche of the $1.863 trillion excess reserves exploding rapidly into the economy. That would devalue the currency, cause more rapid inflation and worry investors about a coming collapse. So the Fed has kind of painted itself into a corner. If the Fed keeps printing money, they continue to grossly distort our financial system even more and the excess reserves time bomb just keeps getting bigger and bigger. But even the suggestion that the Fed would begin to start tapering quantitative easing caused the financial markets to throw an epic temper tantrum in recent weeks. Interest rates immediately began to skyrocket and Fed officials did their best to try to settle everyone down. So where do we go from here? Unfortunately, asJim Rogers recently explained, this massive experiment in financial manipulation is ultimately going to end in disaster Im afraid that in the end, were all going to suffer perhaps, worse than we ever have, with inflation, currency turmoil, and higher interest rates. The Fed and other global central banks have created the largest bond bubble in the history of the planet. If the Fed ends quantitative easing, the bond market is going to try to revert to normal. Everything is dependent on Fed support. They know if they take it away, theyre going to create a black hole. The Treasury bond is the greatest asset bubble in history. Its at least twice as large as the housing and mortgage bubble, maybe three or four times as large. But even if the central banks keep printing money, they may not be able to maintain control over the bond market. In fact, there are already signs that they are starting to lose control. The following is what billionaire Eric Sprott told King World News the other day Its total orchestration. And its orchestration because they might have lost control of the bond market. I find it such a juxtaposition that central banks on a daily basis buy more bonds today than they ever purchased, and interest rates are going up, which is almost perverted. I mean how can that happen? Theyve lost control of the market in my mind, and thats why they are so desperately trying to get us all to forget the word taper. In fact, we probably wont even hear the word taper anymore because it has such a sickening reaction to people in the bond market, and perhaps even people in the stock market. They will probably do away with the word. But the system is totally out of control. And then weve got this quadrillion dollars of derivatives. It just blows blows my mind to think about what could really be going on behind the scenes. Sprott made a really good point about derivatives. The quadrillion dollar derivatives bubble could bring down the global financial system at any time. We are moving into a time of great financial instability. People are going to be absolutely shocked by what happens. Our financial system is a house of cards built on a foundation of risk, leverage and debt. When it all comes tumbling down, it should not be a surprise to any of us. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

2	Obama Does The Unthinkable Calls For America To Do This, Nation Shocked Yesterday, President Barack Obama shocked the nation when he encouraged Americans to give President-elect Donald Trump a chance to get adjusted to the responsibilities of the presidency. In his first news conference since last weeks election results, Obama warned Trump supporters that some of Trumps expectations are likely to be shaken by the reality of his new job. Obama said that, after meeting Trump, he was certain he was sincere about being president for all Americans. He also urged the president-elect to reach out to the groups who felt anxious about his campaign rhetoricand particularly his comments about women and minorities. I dont think he is ideological, I think ultimately he is pragmatic in that way, Obama said. And that can serve him well as long as he has got good people around him and has a good sense of direction. Obama also gave a bit of insight into his first meeting with Trump, saying he told the legendary businessman his ability to tap into the enthusiasm of voters was respectable. I think he is coming to this office with fewer set hard and fast policy prescriptions than a lot of other presidents may be arriving with, Obama added. Do I have concerns? Absolutely, of course, Ive got concerns. He and I differ on a whole bunch of issues. Obama did not comment on Trumps recent appointment of Stephen Bannon as his White House policy adviser. Bannon has been a leading member of the nationalist movement; a choice that has liberals outraged. The American people will judge over the course of the next couple of years whether they like what they see, Obama argued. This office has a way of waking you up. Those aspects of his positions or his predispositions that dont match up with reality, he will find shaken up pretty quick because reality has a way of asserting itself. Obama also argued that there are certain elements of [Trumps] temperament that will not serve him well. Perhaps one of the most interesting topics of conversations in the first meeting between Obama and Trump was foreign policy. Obama commented that Trump expressed a great interest in maintaining our core strategic relationships. Obama promised to convey this message to NATO leaders this week. These comments from Obama are surprisingly diplomatic, given that he hoped to transition his role to Hillary Clintonwho promised to continue to push his agenda. Trump, on the other hand, has promised to quickly undo the destructive policies Obama has put in place. What do you think of Obamas comments? Is this a surprising move for him? 
2	Viewers Shocked When They See Something DISTURBING About Hillarys Podium... [VIDEO] The final presidential debate took place in Las Vegas on Wednesday. Millions of viewers were put off when they noticed something very suspicious about Hillary Clintons podium. According to reports, footage has emerged yesterday showing Clinton reading from prepared answers from her podium as she addressed the public. Viewers also noticed Clintons eyes fluttered down to her podium an unusual number of times during the debate. When they took a closer look at the podium itself, it became clear Clinton was receiving some sort of help. If you watch the video below at the :24 second mark, you can see Clinton clearly losing her place. She is forced to look down at her podium to pickup her train of thought. At the :52 second mark, she stumbles over her words once again. We dont blame Clinton for being nervous. Earlier this week, WikiLeaks reported that Clinton was cheating by getting debate questions sent to her ahead of time. In a leaked email, political analyst Donna Brazile admitted from time to time I get the questions in advance. She then handed them over to Clinton. 
3	15 Signs That We Are Near The Peak Of An Absolutely Massive Stock Market BubbleMichael Snyder In fact, Google searches for the term stock bubble are now at the highest level that we have seen since November 2007. Despite assurances from the mainstream media and the Federal Reserve that everything is just fine, many Americans are beginning to realize that we have seen this movie before. We saw it during the dotcom bubble, and we saw it during the lead up to the horrible financial crisis of 2008. So precisely when will the bubble burst this time? Nobody knows for sure, but without a doubt this irrational financial bubble will burst at some point. Remember, a bubble is always the biggest right before it bursts, and the following are 15 signs that we are near the peak of an absolutely massive stock market bubble #1 Bob Shiller, one of the winners of this years Nobel Prize for economics, says that bubbles look like this and that he is most worried about the boom in the U.S. stock market. #2 The total amount of margin debt has risen by 50 percent since January 2012 and it is now at the highest level ever recorded. The last two times that margin debt skyrocketed like this were just before the bursting of the dotcom bubble in 2000 and just before the financial crisis of 2008. When this house of cards comes crashing down, things are going to get very messy When the tablecloth gets pulled out from under the place settings, youre going to have a lot of them crash and smash on the floor, said Uri Landesman, president of Platinum Partners hedge fund. That margins going to get pulled and everyones going to have to cover. Thats when you get really serious corrections. #4 Market research firm TrimTabs says that the SP 500 is very overpriced right now. #5 Marc Faber recently told CNBC that we are in a gigantic speculative bubble. #6 In the United States, Google searches for the term stock bubble are at the highest level that we have seen since November 2007 just before the last stock market crash. #7 Price to earnings ratios are very high right now The Dow was trading at 17.8 times the past four quarters of earnings of its 30 components, according to The Wall Street Journal on Friday. That was up from 13.7 times its earnings a year ago. The SP 500 is trading at 18.7 times earnings. The Nasdaq-100 Index is trading at 21.5 times earnings. At the very least, the ratios are signaling that stock prices are rich. #8 According to CNBC, Pinterest is currently valued at more than 3 billion dollars even though it has never earned a profit. #9 Twitter is a seven-year-old company that has never made a profit. It actually lost 64.6 million dollars last quarter. But according to the financial markets it is currently worth about 22 billion dollars. #10 Right now, Facebook is trading at a valuation that is equivalent to approximately 100 years of earnings, and it is currently supposedly worth about 115 billion dollars. #11 Howard Marks of Oaktree Capital recently stated that he believes that markets are riskier than at any time since the depths of the 2008/9 crisis. #12 As Graham Summers recently noted, retail investors are buying stocks at a level not seen since the peak of the dotcom bubble back in 2000. #13 David Stockman, a former director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Ronald Reagan, believes that this financial bubble is going to end very badly We have a massive bubble everywhere, from Japan, to China, Europe, to the UK. As a result of this, I think world financial markets are extremely dangerous, unstable, and subject to serious trouble and dislocation in the future. #14 Bob Janjuah of Nomura Securities believes that there could be a 25% to 50% sell off in global stock markets over the next couple of years. #15 According to Tyler Durden of Zero Hedge, the U.S. stock market is repeating a pattern that we have seen many times before. According to him, we are experiencing a well-defined syndrome of overvalued, overbought, overbullish, rising-yield conditions that has appeared exclusively at speculative market peaks including (exhaustively) 1929, 1972, 1987, 2000, 2007, 2011 (before a market loss of nearly 20% that was truncated by investor faith in a new round of monetary easing), and at three points in 2013: February, May, and today. As I mentioned at the top of this article, this stock market bubble has been fueled by quantitative easing. Easy money from the Fed has been artificially inflating stock prices, and this has greatly benefited a very small percentage of the U.S. population. In fact, 82 percent of all individually held stocks are owned by the wealthiest 5 percent of all Americans. When this stock market bubble does burst, those wealthy Americans are going to be in for a tremendous amount of pain. But there are some people out there that argue that what we are witnessing is not a stock market bubble at all. That includes Janet Yellen, the new head of the Federal Reserve. Recently,she insisted that there is absolutely nothing to be worried about Stock prices have risen pretty robustly, Yellen said. But I think that if you look at traditional valuation measures, you would not see stock prices in territory that suggests bubble-like conditions. We shall see who was right and who was wrong. Lets all file that one away and come back to it in a few years. So where are stocks going next? If you had the answer to that question, you could probably make a lot of money. Yes, the current bubble could burst at any moment, or stocks could continue going up for a little while longer. After all, the SP 500 has risen in December about 80 percent of the time over the past thirty years. Perhaps that will be the case this December as well. Perhaps not. Do you feel lucky?

Looks like its time to start packing! The list of celebrities that were supposedly set to lose after this election include liberal comedians like Jon Stewart and Amy Schumer. Stewart spent the majority of the election season calling Trump and his supporters racists, sexists, and bigots. The list also includes the ever-peachy Lena Dunham, who promised to stand by her threat no matter what.

3	Monsanto is the Department of Homeland Security for foodJon Rappoport Being the US government means being on permanent wartime status. Wherever it is possible to fantasize enemies, enemies are there. They must be conquered. They must be stopped. Its a vast cover story that, among other benefits, provides enormous profits to the military industrial complex. Heres an addition to the cover story: to accomplish this war on everything that moves, advanced technology must be deployedand those who resist the omnipresence and domination of the technology are considered potential terrorists. Even a small organic American farmer on an acre of land can qualify as a threat, because he appears to oppose the technology of genetic engineering, as it applies to food crops. As bizarre as this might seem, it is an aspect of the corporate/government war on healthy organic food. As my readers know, I have been piecing together the levels of corruption that are permeating the Monsanto vs. Maui lawsuit. (See also my #GMOwar archive.) As I assemble the elements, its becoming clear that Monsanto is a key figure in national security concernsprotecting Monsanto at any cost equals protecting national security. Thats why the people of Mauiwho voted to ban Monsantos local GMO/pesticide experiments, pending a deep and independent investigation of everything Monsanto is doing in Maui Countyhave been encountering legal land-mines at every step. The entire military-intelligence-agricultural complex has been arrayed against the people of Maui. Ill now quote a very important article Dr. Joseph Mercola wrote on September 17, 2012, Organic Foods are safer and healthier than conventionaltrue or false? the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has taken the position that organic farming, such as free-ranging chickens and cows and non-GM seeds that you cant control are potential biosecurity threats. USDA has even begun putting, in writing, directives on how they want organic farming contained which resembles turning organic farms into nothing more than factory farms. Organic farms represent a bio-security threat to the United States? What kind of insanity is this? Dr, Mercola continues: The ultimate goal for global biosecurity is to have seeds and plants that theoretically cant be attacked because theyve been bio-engineered to resist pathogens that would be used to destroy crops. This is discussed in a 2002 biosecurity whitepaper by the American Phytopathological Society [Biosecurity Issues Affecting Agricultural Crops Communities: Genomics, Biotechnology, Infrastructure]: Investments in basic research are needed to open new directions for applied research, including greater use of plant biotechnology and plant and microbial genomics for detection, forensics, prevention, or recovery from a bioterrrorist attack on a U.S. crop or food produced from crops. In other words, according to the new catechism (cover story), any food plant that cant withstand a bio-attack from an enemy is a potential weapon that can be used against Americaand Monsanto is at the forefront, along with other biotech giants, in engineering food crops that will, in fact, repel bio-attacks launched with plant pathogens, fungi, viruses, etc. Monsanto will ensure the protection of America. This incredible fantasy takes on new Trojan-Horse meaning with the recent announcement, by the World Health Organization, that Monsantos number-one herbicide, Roundup, is a probable cause of cancer. Protect Americans by killing them? Of course, diminishing the perception of safety and value of organic food crops, in any way possible, expands Monsantos bottom line: money. Profit. Profit, domination of the food supply, and bio-security are now joined at the hip. Add to that the obsession to make anything natural into something synthetic, and youre looking directly at Monsanto. Using the premise of bio-attacks from anywhere and everywhere, Monsanto and the federal government are collaborating to make GMO food the universal food, the food that protects America from bioterrorism. Monsanto. The Pentagon. The war machine. Lunatic brothers in consciousness. That organic food (and unmodified food)) you thought was so good for you? It isnt. Its vulnerable food. It can be attacked from anywhere on the planet by our enemies. They can deploy microorganisms to attack this food and destroy it and force us to starve. But not to worry. Well genetically engineer all food so its protected from these attacks. We have advanced technology. Were deploying it. Just get out of the way and let us do our jobs. All will be well. Well control the food supply, lock it down, and make it safe. This is a national security issue. It supersedes all laws. Stand down. Back away. Homeland Security is here.

'It's like this desperate grab for attention he tries to pass off as totally casual,' friend Alan Carter said. 'He'll sit down at the piano with this really deep look on his face, then launch into those really simple first few bars, expecting everyone to be amazed and moved.' Friends say the habit has persisted since Moreland was in the fifth grade, when he switched to 'Imagine' from the Jaws theme.

3	Does Marijuana Cause Cancer? Research Says Marijuana Fights CancerLisa Garber You might remember Cash Hyde, the 3-year-old boy from Montana diagnosed with brain cancer but who beat it with his father Mikes help and marijuana oil. Well, Hydes case isnt the only one revealing the positive relationship between marijuana and cancer. Does Marijuana Cause Cancer? THC as Therapy In 1998, Cristina Sanchez of Complutense University in Madrid reported in a European biochemistry journal that THCthe famed psychoactive component in marijuanainduces apoptosis [cell death] in C6 glioma cells, which are a type of brain cancer. Lead author of another study and Harvard University researcher Anju Preet says, THC can have a potential therapeutic role. His findings, presented in a 2007 American Association for Cancer Research in Los Angeles, showed that THC has a direct antitumoral effect. The first clinical trial studying THCs antitumoral effect on humans was conducted by Manuel Guzman and his team of Spanish scientists. Guzman administered THC to nine patients who had not responded to traditional brain cancer therapies for the study. As published in a 2006 issue of the British Journal of Pharmacology, tumor cell proliferation reduced in response to THC administration through a catheter showing the medical benefits of marijuana. Another Harvard study reports that THC slows lung cancer progress. Moreover, unlike chemotherapy which damages all cellshealthy or cancerousTHC specifically destroyed tumoral cells without harming healthy ones. In another study published in the Journal of American Medical Association, spanning from 1985 to 2006, over 5,000 men and women smoked about one joint daily for seven years. Co-author Stefan Kertesz found that subjects, rather than having damaged lungs, showed increases in lung air flow rates. Surprising findings indeed. With backing from the National Institute of Health, Dr. Sean McAllister conducted a study and found that cannabidiol inhibited breast cancer cell proliferation, metastasis, and tumor growth. McAllister researched cancers relationship to the ID-1 genea protein active during embryonic development but, in healthy subjects, turns and stays off. In the case of breast cancer patients, the gene turns back on, which causes malignant cells to metastasize. In the journal Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, McAllister wrote that cannabidiol switches off the genes expression. McAllister found that cannabidiol can even work alongside standard chemotherapy treatments by performing synergistically with pharmaceuticals. This means that maximum, toxic doses dont have to be administered. Despite accusations that marijuana smoking can compromise the immune system, mountains of research indicate that the plant has more to offer than a high. More studies are undoubtedly in the works. In this research, Manuel Guzman located in Madrid, Spain discovered that cannabinoids substantially inhibit the growth of tumors in a variety of lab animals. In the study he also found that not one of these tested animals endured any kind of side effects seen in many similar chemotherapy treatments. If all of the research doesnt appeal to you, then maybe the 2,500 total studied patients throughout these 37 controlled studies may. None of the patients reported any kind of adverse side effects from the use of THC and based medication further adding to the benefits of medical marijuana and strengthening the positive connection between marijuana and cancer. So, does marijuana cause cancer, or does it fight cancer?

1	At a press conference Monday, Oral-B Laboratories unveiled its much-anticipated new DentuTek 6.0 toothbrush, touted by its designers as slightly different from the hundreds of perfectly good toothbrushes currently on the market. 'This toothbrush design is perfect for those who are not satisfied with the 846 existing toothbrush designs currently on the market,' Oral-B director of product development Julianne Wuerfel said. 'Finally, the American consumer has an 847th choice.' According to Wuerfel, the DentuTek 6.0 features a patented ErgoDynamic(TM) handle, tapered to a curve vector almost .002 inches from its nearest competitor, the Colgate 34-XB, as well as a revolutionary new Tri-Level Bristle-Control System(TM). 'We're very excited,' Oral-B CEO Palmer Esch said. 'Our team of toothbrush designers and engineers labored intensely to develop a toothbrush that fit within the infinitesimally small window of as-yet-undesigned toothbrush styles. And they did it.' 
1	According to Hollywood sources, Warner Bros. Entertainment officially acquired the rights this week to the long- unproduced film project entitled The Final Symphony, which has reportedly been floating around in various states of production with seven different studios since 1935. The script, believed to have been originally written seven and a half decades ago as a vehicle for Clark Gable, has since undergone at least 600 drafts by 2,250 different writers, and was at various times attached to hundreds of different Hollywood stars, including Spencer Tracy, Paul Muni, Tyrone Power, Montgomery Clift, Sidney Poitier, Burt Reynolds, Dudley Moore, Cher, Liam Neeson, and Justin Long. Film historians said the script has been making the rounds as a hot Hollywood property for so long that no one currently working in the American film industry can remember its exact genesis. 'It's impossible to say who the original screenwriter was, because the original director, along with most of the people who worked at the studio at that time, has been dead for well over 30 years,' film historian Richard Schickel said of the movie, which has been known variously over the years as The Vengeance, Hearts On Fire, Final Symphony 3D, Arriba, Arriba!, Finding Billy Harper, Boogly, and Untitled Eric Roberts Project. 'Besides, so much has changed since then that the original script would probably be pretty hard to recognize.' 'It supposedly had a crackerjack supporting role written for Basil Rathbone in it, though,' Schickel added. 'Which was subsequently rewritten for Mickey Rooney, and later Gene Wilder and then Chris Tucker.' Continued Schickel, 'And then Rob Schneider, Wanda Sykes, and Jonah Hill.' According to dozens of sources who have read some version of the script in the past 75 years, the film concerns a soldier coming home from war and, depending on which version of the script sources saw, is either a 'seriocomic love story,' a 'brooding psychological thriller,' a 'wild cinematic joyride for the post-Tarantino generation,' or 'a propaganda film financed by the War Department.' Nearly every major Hollywood movie studio has previously owned the rights to the script, including Warner Bros. itself, which bought the screenplay from MGM in 1951 when it was an unproduced Vincente Minnelli musical, sold it to Paramount a short time later, and then bought it from MGM again in 1962 before selling it back to Paramount as a Jerry Lewis army comedy the following year. 'There was a period in the late '60s where nobody knew who had it, and it turned out Darryl Zannuck had sold it to a Hong Kong studio that tried to make it into some sort of martial-arts costume drama,' said Final Symphony scholar and onetime would-be Final Symphony director Peter Bogdanovich. 'But the funding fell through and it eventually found its way back to America, where, oddly, Charlie Chaplin, I believe, who was quite old at the time, tried to make it as a sort of comeback project.' Throughout the 1950s, Orson Welles famously attempted to helm the project under the title The Reckoning Of Madison Creek, funneling millions of dollars of his own money into the project and eventually bankrupting himself, an experience chronicled in the Oscar-winning 1978 documentary The Reckoning Of Orson Welles. 'This being America, we all have our white whales, so to speak, and that script was mine,' Welles said in the documentary. 'I still believe it would make a great picture, though. The third act needs work, sure, but goddamn it I'd love to take a crack at it again if I could just get the financing.' While Warner Bros. executives are reportedly happy with the shape the script is in, they said it would receive one final last-minute rewrite from screenwriters Scott Frank and Steven Kloves, as well as a polish from veteran writer William Goldman, who drafted a full rewrite of the script in 1966 when it was being conceived as a buddy picture for Robert Redford and Paul Newman, and did so again when it was being considered as a possible California Raisins claymation feature film in 1989. 'It's been a bit of a rocky road for this project, but we intend to begin shooting very soon,' Warner Bros. CEO Barry Meyer said. 'David Fincher had to pull out due to a scheduling conflict, but we are currently looking at a number of other directors, including Danny Boyle and David O. Russell.' 'Although Russell will only do it if we can get Jack Nicholson to commit for the role of the father, which is unlikely considering he passed on the part of the son in 1969,' Meyer continued. 'In any event, we should be all systems go for sometime around spring 2015.' 
2	Obama Claims Islam Was Always A Part Of Our Country President Obama has been telling an interesting story about Islam in our country. He started out by calling the notoriously violent religion a religion of peace. More recently, he asserted that Islam has been woven into the fabric of the United States since it was first founded. He has even gone on to claim that Muslims have played a significant role in building and shaping this nation. That could not be more false. And in a recent interview with Glenn Beck, Historian David Barton was sure to set some things straight. Barton argued that the first contribution any Muslim made was in 1856 (8 decades after our founding), when the Secretary of War Jefferson Davis hired a Muslim to help train camels in Arizona. That is the one example he could find about a contribution to societyand it was short-lived, as the whole camels in war thing quickly fell apart. For the most part, our early interactions with Muslims were as enemies. When America broke apart from England, they lost the protection of their ships. As a result, they were frequently raided and plundered by Muslim pirates from the Barbary Coast. When John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin were sent to mediate the problem, they discovered that Islamic law gave the men permission to attack non-Muslims. The ambassador answered us that [the right] was founded on the Laws of the Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have answered their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise, Jefferson wrote to the-Secretary of State John Jay. So, you could say that Muslims contributed to our history, but only in the fact that they highlighted the context and need for U.S. Marines. What do you think? Are you tired of Obamas lies to the American people? 
1	ANN ARBOR, MIThe University of Michigan has become the 17th institution of higher learning to be implicated in the checks-for-degrees scandal rocking American campuses, representatives from the Department of Justice reported Tuesday. The campus of the embattled University of Michigan. 'We have strong evidence that the University of Michigan granted academic degrees to students in exchange for hefty payments, often totaling tens of thousands of dollars,' Deputy Attorney General James B. Comey said. 'In the process, thousands of graduates have emerged with degrees, but few or no skills applicable to everyday life. And many are as unprepared to enter the job market as they were when they first enrolled.' According to documents collected as a part of the Justice Department's ongoing investigation, some University of Michigan undergraduates attended classes fewer than three times a week. During these classes, students were asked to do little more than listen to lectures delivered by their professors. Comey said that, while it seems apparent that the universities under investigation were conducting a monetary transaction, millions of degree-buyers believed that they had not bought, but 'earned' their diplomas. 'The university is very careful to circumscribe the financial element of the transaction,' Comey said. 'The employees who conduct lectures are made to seem above the world of commerce. Students don't give their payments to the professors, nor to the departments from which they purchase their degrees. Rather, checks are mailed to the 'Office of the Bursar,' this 'bursar' being someone who's nearly impossible to track down.' Besides attending classes, students read materials relating to their lectures, write the occasional paper, and participate in testing, Comey said. Although the content of many courses was often thought-provoking, what alarmed investigators was the subject matter's 'intractably abstract nature.' 'A course in Chaucer can be a fascinating examination of medieval mores and the evolution of the English language,' Comey said. 'Such knowledge, however, has little application in larger society. Students can graduate with majors in creative writing, Latin, women's studies, and history, yet still not know how to fix a sink, sew on a button, or even properly feed themselves.Virtually the only opportunity graduates have to apply their arcane knowledge takes place during discussions over coffee with their peers, or attempts to impress members of the opposite sex at parties.' In addition to their twice-annual tuition payments, University of Michigan students pay hundreds of dollars in ancillary fees. 'Students are bilked out of registration fees, housing fees, and lab fees,' Comey said. 'And the university has all sorts of tricks to draw the money out, such as denying students access to library materials or refusing them copies of their transcripts.' Many students find that the only way to get a return on their investment is to continue their studies at the post-graduate level, resulting in even more money for the college. 'Some graduate-degree-earners have been known to find work in their fields, but many end up teaching in the very schools that issue these degrees of questionable value,' Comey said. 'In this way, the grift sustains itself.' Comey said citizens have a right to be concerned. 'Since so many students purchase their degrees using government-backed student-loan programs, taxpayers are supporting this,' Comey said. 'Also, because many employers require these bachelor's degrees, even if irrelevant to the actual work, the business sector has to own up to some collusion in the matter.' One alleged victim of the checks-for-degrees scandal is 25-year-old Michael Trumbull, who purchased an art-history degree from the University of Michigan, making his first payment in January 2002. Trumbull currently works the front desk of a Lansing Comfort Inn. 'Not once has a customer asked me about the innovations of Edouard Manet, or whether politics and aesthetics make good bedfellows,' Trumbull said. 'They're much more likely to ask me to bring them a plunger or give them a wake-up call.' Trumbull, who owes more than $40,000 in student loans, added that he must use a calculator to perform even simple math. 
1	With Citi Field attendance during Sunday's matchup barely reaching 70 percent, Mets pitcher John Maine let fans who actually came to see the bottom two NL East teams play shout out pitch requests during Nationals at bats. 'What's that? A slider? I haven't thrown that old classic in a while, but I'll give it a go,' Maine said during the fourth inning. 'All right, submarine pitch, then a palm ball. That's a weird one, but if you want to see me throw one of those, let's hear you scream!' Requests were no longer accepted after a teenage boy asked Maine to 'throw something faster than 91 miles per hour,' to which Maine responded, 'Shut the hell up.' 
2	Muslim Man Dressed As Santa Goes On Killing Spree This is one of the most disturbing attacks weve seen to date. According to recent reports, a group of Palestinians dressed as Santa used knives, guns, and vehicles as weapons in a series of attacks in Jerusalem, the West Bank and in cities about Israel. The attacks have left 19 Israelis, an American student and a Palestinian resident of the West Bank dead. About 130 Palestinians were killed during the same period, while more than half of them were attempting to carry out attacks. The rest were involved in violent clashes with Israeli forces in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. This comes a week later a Palestinian man rammed a car into a crowd of Israelis at a Jerusalem bus stop. That attack injured many, including an 18-month-old child. What do you think? Do these attacks need to be stopped immediately?

3	3 Acts of Insanity in the American Education SystemJeff D. Opdyke Along with providing American students a middling education at best we rank 17th in the world and well-below-average for developed nations whats really wrong with Americas education system is the fact that were engineering the next generation to become acclimated to what this country is becoming And its becoming a police state, where tolerance is zero and everyone is presumed guilty. The notion of innocence? To hell with that! This will not end well for you or me, or our children. As a parent I have two kids in school I am always on the lookout for examples of governmental transgressions so these days, of course, I am paying an inordinate amount of attention to American school systems. In few domestic settings will you find such misconduct (and downright ignorance) percolating through our country. Can It Get Any Worse Than This? Consider these three solutions taken recently in Americas schools to address so-called deviant acts of misbehavior: 1. Threaten to hold back a straight-A student for serving her country. A 13-year-old, straight-A student in the Washington D.C. school system was recently labeled a truant. Her crime: excelling at the piano. The young girl is so gifted musically that she has played around the world and was hand-picked to serve as an international music ambassador by a prestigious foundation. So, she travels a good bit. But she has maintained straight-A grades anyway. Though the D.C. school district does have the ability to override its attendance policy for extenuating circumstances, the wise owls atop the failing district decided that being a prodigy on a global level just doesnt cut the mustard. 2. Arrest a frightened teenager for checking in on her sick mother. In Houston, a teenager at Sam Houston High was using her cellphone to deal with a family emergency her ill mother. The schools assistant principal demanded the teens phone because of an asinine policy about cellphone usage on campus. The teen refused because again she was dealing with a family emergency. But the assistant principal, displaying an amazing grasp of rationality, had already called for back-up the police! And thus it was that a 410, 70-pound girl, upset about her ill mother, found herself on the ground, the victim of jackbooted oppression. One cop pressed his knee on her skull while a second sat on her legs and handcuffed her. A third loomed nearby you know, just in case the 410, 70-pound villain overpowered the two substantially larger men of law and order. 3. Throw a student in detention for sharing his lunch. Remember that golden rule you learned as a kid: Sharing is caring? Well, not so much in Weaverville, California. For his act of kindness sharing part of his chicken burrito with a friend who was hungry a 13-year-old boy landed in detention. It seemed like he couldnt get a normal lunch, the teen told a local TV station, so I just wanted to give mine to him because I wasnt really that hungry and it was just going to go in the garbage if I didnt eat it. To which the school responded that sharing food is prohibited because of food allergies and whatnot. Thats a legitimate reason but detention is not a legitimate response to a non-crime. Weaverville, have you ever considered pulling the student aside to explain why the policy is in place instead of rushing to punish an act of kindness? Too American to Take It Such events, and scores of similar episodes in schools all over the country that I havent the space to chronicle, serve as a microcosm of so much that is wrong with America today and it hints at a future that is so clearly heading our way. As a country, we have become intolerant of any action that questions authority a byproduct of the terror-laced world that government shoves down our throat with almost every news cycle. Its as though Orwells Ministry of Truth is cranking out fear-mongering stories somewhere in the bowels of metropolitan D.C. Epochal changes in society do not happen quickly. Theyre reprogrammed at a generational pace. My generation is too American to accept whats going on. We grew up in a tolerant America, where innocence was assumed. It was far freer than the America my kids are inheriting. There was the ever-present belief that change could be affected for the better across the country. The American Dream was still very much alive, instead of the withered, disillusioned shadow that it has now become. But tomorrows Americans, I fear, will not have the same values. And, I fear, its because of the schools and whats going on inside them. School systems, it seems to me, are inculcating our kids to accept an ever-present police state as a normal state of affairs. And its a police state that is otherwise benign except in those moments when its authority is questioned and then it becomes ruthless in meting out justice on the fly. Kids learn quickly. And before you know it, you have a generation of Stepford Americans who are submissive, compliant and reticent to question authority. Seems the perfect world for an Orwellian government that wants its people to believe they are free, despite the obvious cages built around them. Thats why my generation will regularly rail against the malevolence of modern government or they will increasingly abandon ship for more hospitable locales, as a record number of Americans are doing, searching for a place that holds true to the values that our country was built upon.

1	Hamilton West Side's shortstop Tyson Baker, 11, was ejected in the fourth inning of Saturday's Little League World Series game after arguing with the umpire over a controversial call that Appa the flying bison was the best character on Avatar: The Last Airbender. 'What are you blind? Aang is totally better,' said Baker, who kicked dirt on home plate and threw his bat down the first-base line. 'That's such bullcrap. Aang can make a ball of air and sit on it to fly around. Appa is just a flying cow. You're such an idiot that you probably liked it when Aang and Katara kissed.' The umpire reportedly decided to toss Baker from the game after the 11-year-old accused him of wanting to be best friends with Fire Lord Ozai. 
3	Obama Wants You to Ignore Bloggers, Talking Heads, and ActivistsLily Dane Now that the government has reopened and this threat to our economy is removed, all of us need to stop focusing on the lobbyists, and the bloggers, and the talking heads on radio and the professional activists who profit from conflict, and focus on what the majority of Americans sent us here to do. Heres a clip: We already knew that Obama isnt a fan of the First Amendment or the free press. In fact, American constitutional experts say that Obama is worse than Nixon when it comes to press freedom. According to a new report by the Committee to Protect Journalists called The Obama Administration and the Press: Leak investigations and surveillance in post-9/11 America: I think we have a real problem, said New York Times national security reporter Scott Shane. Most people are deterred by those leaks prosecutions. Theyre scared to death. Theres a gray zone between classified and unclassified information, and most sources were in that gray zone. Sources are now afraid to enter that gray zone. Its having a deterrent effect. If we consider aggressive press coverage of government activities being at the core of American democracy, this tips the balance heavily in favor of the government. At the same time, the journalists told me, designated administration spokesmen are often unresponsive or hostile to press inquiries, even when reporters have been sent to them by officials who wont talk on their own. Despite President Barack Obamas repeated promise that his administration would be the most open and transparent in American history, reporters and government transparency advocates said they are disappointed by its performance in improving access to the information they need. This is the most closed, control freak administration Ive ever covered, said David E. Sanger, veteran chief Washington correspondent of The New York Times. What happened to the transparency Obama pledged to offer? Of course, the White House has its own websites and social media accounts, which are used to distribute information that is created by and favorable to the administration: Veteran political journalists Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen described the administrations message machine this way on the news website Politico: One authentically new technique pioneered by the Obama White House is government creation of contentphotos of the president, videos of White House officials, blog posts written by Obama aideswhich can then be instantly released to the masses through social media. And they are obsessed with taking advantage of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and every other social media forum, not just for campaigning, but governing. They are more disciplined about cracking down on staff that leak, or reporters who write things they dont like. Earlier this year, Obama gave the commencement address at Ohio State University. He used that opportunity to try to convey a similar message to the graduates: Unfortunately, youve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity thats at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. Theyll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices. Because what they suggest is that our brave, and creative, and unique experiment in self-rule is somehow just a sham with which we cant be trusted. If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter. George Washington Lily Dane is a staff writer for The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared.

3	Are Researchers Blaming Beekeepers for New Diseases in the Wild?Heather Callaghan Are they spreading from sickened honeybees or is something else at play? Are scientists really using mass funding for discovering or for covering? Dr Matthias Frst and Professor Mark Brown from Royal Holloway University of London are the lead authors that detected a disease gone wild. Dr Frst, from the School of Biological Sciences at Royal Holloway said: Wild and managed bees are in decline at national and global scales. Given their central role in pollinating wildflowers and crops, it is essential that we understand what lies behind these declines. Our results suggest that emerging diseases, spread from managed bees, may be an important cause of wild bee decline. We have known for a long time that parasites are behind declines in honeybees. What our data show is that these same pathogens are circulating widely across our wild and managed pollinators. Infected honeybees can leave traces of disease, like a fungal spore or virus particle, on the flowers that they visit and these may then infect wild bees. First, they assessed common honeybee diseases to determine if they could pass from honeybees to bumblebees. They found that deformed wing virus (DWV) and the fungal parasite Nosema ceranae both of which negatively impacts honeybees can infect worker bumblebees and, in the case of DWV, reduce their lifespan. Honeybees and bumblebees were then collected from 26 sites across the UK and screened for the presence of the parasites. Both disease states were considered widespread in bumblebees and honeybees across the UK. Dr Frst went on: One of the novel aspects of our study is that we show that deformed wing virus, which is one of the main causes of honeybee deaths worldwide, is not only broadly present in bumblebees, but is actually replicating inside them. This means that it is acting as a real disease; they are not just carriers. Three factors, they say, suggest that honeybees are spreading the parasites into wild bumblebees: honeybees have higher background levels of the virus and the fungus than bumblebees; bumblebee infection is predicted by patterns of honeybee infection; and honeybees and bumblebees at the same sites share genetic strains of DWV. They claim this research goes beyond previous anecdotal reports of honeybee parasites showing up in other pollinators but does it really? The results? Urgent need for management recommendations to reduce the threat of emerging diseases in wild and managed bees. They say this is vital information for beekeepers everywhere to ensure honeybee management supports wild bees. Not really Professor Brown added: National societies and agencies, both in the UK and globally, currently manage so-called honeybee diseases on the basis that they are a threat only to honeybees. While they are doing great work, our research shows that this premise is not true, and that the picture is much more complex. Policies to manage these diseases need to take into account threats to wild pollinators and be designed to reduce the impact of these diseases not just on managed honeybees, but on our wild bumblebees too. Studies like this ignore the elephant in the room the overall negative impact to wildlife immunity from each new chemical biocide that gets approved as safe. The blame often goes to farmers and beekeepers when who is approving these chemicals as safe? And when they finally get partially banned, who is approving the new set without proper testing and why? Who is being protected? Ive written about these particular studies before they are apart of a group of studies out of the 10 million Insect Pollinators Initiative($13.5 million USD), joint-funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), Defra, the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), the Scottish Government and the Wellcome Trust. It is managed under the auspices of the Living with Environmental Change (LWEC) partnership. Biotechnologyliving with environmental change That is something to ponder. Please see this article where I discuss the blame mitigation and the cycle of corporate chemical swapping i.e. chemical biocides get swapped for a new one and lucrative research continues and refuses to do anything but have different chemicals approved. Bees Are Actually Just Stressed? Please leave your thoughts below and any information you have about the funding sources of these studies. Recent posts byHeather Callaghan:

Just moments after Bradley asked whether the interrogating officer was working for '$200 a day, plus expenses,' a roomful of officers began joyously exchanging plotlines and quotes from their favorite episodes. 'It's just nice to meet a guy who appreciates The Files like we do,' officer Brad Nuter said. 'How could anyone who can recite every single answering-machine gag possibly have beaten two newlyweds with the butt of his gun over $30? This man has a code, just like Jimbo Rockford.' Following Bradley's release, investigators detained a vagrant who was overheard misquoting the radio banter from the opening credit sequence of Adam-12.

Petition Against Mandatory Vaccination Reaches 100K Signature Threshold Will Obama Respond?Melissa Melton The petitionis short, sweet, and to the point: According to the WhiteHouse.gov site, A minimum number of signatures isnecessary in a given amount of time in order for the petition to be reviewed by the White House, distributed to the appropriate policy officials within the Administration and receive an official response.At the time of writing this, the petition currently has 113,984 signatures and counting with three days left to go to accrue even more. Sign it if you havent. Why not. The real question is, do you think they will officially respond? If so, what will that response be? This government is so tyrannical If this country was still the America founded on the Constitution and Bill of Rights and not a plasticine front for megacorporations like those scurrying under the banner of Big Pharma, it would be ashamed to even have to answer to such a charge of forcing its population to be shot up with unproven chemical cocktails. Considering that, in the wake of the propagandized measles hysteria, states all across the country including Texas are introducing bills to take away peoples right to object to vaccines on any grounds, we have definitely long ago passed the mark founding father Benjamin Rush warned about if medical freedom was not included in the Constitution like religious freedom was. The Constitution of this Republic should make special provision for medical freedom. To restrict the art of healing to one class will constitute the Bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic. Unless we put medical freedom into the constitution the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship and force people who wish doctors and treatment of their own choice to submit to only what the dictating outfit offers.

1	In a striking departure from centuries of American belief in rule of law, President Bush gave his approval Monday to a limited experiment in public vigilantism 'to see if it works.' 'Groups of dedicated citizens who band together for a common causebe it rounding up car thieves or castigating suspicious loiterersstrengthen and reinforce the social order,' Bush said at a White House press conference. 'I've never supported government intrusion in people's lives; I've always put more faith in the private sector. So I say, what the heck! Let's give vigilantism a go and see how things shake out. Why not?' Bush's self-described 'plan to have no plan' permits elected and appointed government authorities to 'look the other way' while bands of U.S. citizens enforce both the community standards that the existing legal code overlooks and those laws that police fail to enforce. 'From bordello-busters to subway shooters, vigilantes have a long history of pinpointing and resolving the problems plaguing their communities,' Bush said. 'Let's give 'em a shot.' A vigilante group patrols a Colorado Springs, CO highway for litterers. Bush's remarks came in the wake of criticism among his ultraconservative supporters, who argue that 'activist judges' often make decisions that contradict the will of the people. To help remedy this problem, many special-interest groups had been calling for an official tolerance of 'vigilante judicial committees.' 'Vigilantes have an undeserved reputation for recklessness,' Republican pollster Jennifer Mendenhall said. 'As we phase vigilantism in, be prepared to hear a lot of talk about 'mob-ocracies' and 'tyrannies of the bat-wielding, roving majorities.' That rhetoric is meant to scare peaceful citizens into thinking they need magisterial authority to protect their interests. But vigilantism is not about crazed drunkards clustering in town squares, waving pitchforks and crying out for blood. It's about an opportunity to let the citizens of America serve as their neighbors' meter maids, correctional officers, chiefs of police, or, if necessary, SWAT teams.' Bush's decision has already mobilized vigilantes across the country. 'Who needed the police and the courts when I already knew who vandalized the restrooms at McDonnell Park?' Roy Kunz of Katy, TX said. 'Bush has it right. It's high time we threw a few necktie parties around here.' Murphysboro, IL's Jo Crockett formed a vigilante committee to forcibly evict neighbor and 'dirty, no-good slut' Haley Uhrig and her family from her neighborhood. 'Does the government care that [Uhrig] litters her yard with stinky diapers, blares her music around the clock, and steals our men? Hell no,' Crockett said. 'We couldn't wait around for an arrest warrant or a Jerry Springer segment producer to come to our aid. It's simple: That woman had to go.' Bush's endorsement of vigilante activity caught Capitol Hill Democrats off guard. 'I'm not sure vigilantism is in the best interest of the nation,' Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said. 'Vigilantes are bad, aren't they? I read The Ox-Bow Incident in high school. They ended up hanging the wrong guys in that book, I think. That sort of situation could lead to a major problem for the government.' Bush stressed that his move was experimental, characterizing vigilantism as 'practical.' 'Frankly, government officials have all they can handle right now, overseeing foreign wars and doling out unemployment benefits,' Bush said. 'The truth is, we'd really appreciate some help maintaining domestic order while we take care of the important stuff.' 'Let's see what happens, America,' Bush added. 'After all, our government is supposed to be of, by, and for the people. That's from the Constitution.' 
2	Liberals Have Major Meltdown After Straight White Guy Festival Planned As we have all seen in the media, Gay Pride protests are being held more and more frequently all around the country. These rallies are designed to encourage homosexuals to be proud and open about their sexual orientation. In todays world, even if someone politely disagrees with the homosexual lifestyle, they are bashed by the public. But what if the tables were turned? According to the Washington Times, Ohio park will be the first ones to push those limits, as they host the Straight White Guy Festival. This kind of think implies theres some kind of struggle going on for being a straight white person in Ohio, Michael Premo, gay marriage supporter, told the Post. Straight white people are doing just fine. I think it detracts from the real problems of Ohio that need to be solved, that are being denied their constitutional rights because of who they are, or who they love. Now, while some liberals are angry and speaking out against the event, others admit that it is a joke that is making a point. And it does beg the question: Why is it okay to be proud of being gay, but not proud of being straight? What do you think? Is this just another double standard? 
2	Muslim Refugees Invade Tiny Town In Georgia, Watch Happens Immediately After Stone Mountain, Georgia is a remote city with just over 6,000 residents, and a poverty rate lingering well above the national average. It is also home to more resettled Syrian refugees than Los Angeles and New York City combined. Since the beginning of October, 72 Syrian refugees have been place in Stone Mountain. In contrast, Los Angeles has resettled just 45 refugees; New York City only nine. But it doesnt stop with Syrian refugees. In the last year, 299 refugees have been resettled into the Georgia town in total. That is roughly five percent of Stone Mountains population as of July 2015. The largest group, 83 refugees in total, originate from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. What do you think of these numbers? Is this absolutely outrageous? 
2	Trump Launches Plan To Close Mosques... What What Happens Next [VIDEO] Donald Trump has maintained a lead in the 2016 GOP presidential race by standing behind his views, and not being afraid to speak his mind. This strategy seems to be working for the legendary businessman, but it is not without controversy. In a recent interview with Fox Business, Trump sparked a liberal fire when he said he absolutely intends to revoke passports and shut down mosques. Host Stuart Varney was questioning Trump about the actions taken by the British government, which have been widely criticized for being anti-ISIS. Theyve got a whole new series of proposals to deal with this, including withdrawal of passports from some of these people whove gone over just to fight, Varney began. Absolutely, Trump chimed in. Good, good. And theyre closing some mosques, Varney continued. Would you do the same thing in America? I would do that, Trump responded, almost immediately. Absolutely, I think its great. Varney then went on to question Trump about how hed go about it, given that America has freedom of religion. Well, I dont know, Trump answered, honestly. I mean, I havent heard about the closing of the mosque. It depends, if the mosque is, you know, loaded for bear, I dont know. 
2	MLKs Niece UNLEASHES On Al Sharpton After He Compares Himself To Martin Luther King Al Sharpton has been known to make appearances at times of civil unrest. Such was the case during the Ferguson riots, and once again during the Baltimore riots, where he tried to instigate more issues. During a recent appearance, Sharpton made the mistake of comparing himself to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Immediately, he received backlash from the community, including Kings niece, Dr. Alveda King. In an interview with Fox News, King told Neil Cavuto that Sharpton was way out of line to compare the violence in Baltimore to the peaceful protests that happened with civil rights leaders like MLK. Im astounded, because when Rev. Sharpton says you need to do researchresearch will show that my uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who actually came from a background where it would have been easy for him to be violentthey were trained in non-violence, conflict resolution, King concluded. Did they want to riot? King asked. Yesbut there was a standard, there were teachers, there were leaders who helped them not fight. What do you think of Sharptons comments? Is he anything like MLK? 
1	Click Here To Read The Top Team-Sports Highlights Of 2005 Less popular, less social, and far, far less lucrative than the major team sports, individual achievement is still the competitive instinct boiled down to its essence. Yet 2005 proved that the nation's attention could still be drawn to the heroic and well-televised individual performance. Lance Armstrong, the gritty, determined, monotesticular cyclist, captivated America with his seventh Tour de France victory, although the nation later confessed that it did not watch the actual event. Mike Tyson demonstrated that it was still possible for him to somehow lose even more dignity. And NASCAR champion Tony Stewart proved once and for all that there was still a place for angry sons of bitches in stock-car racing, becoming the 44th nonconsecutive driver to do so. Yet not every victory was as well-celebrated, and not every great performance was in competition. With that in mind, selfnews Sports lists this year's greatest moments in the individual sports. Jan. 26During the celebrity pro-am portion of the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, David Duval shoots a 96 (+24), missing 92 percent of fairways and hitting into several bunkers and water hazards, intentionally prolonging the round by over an hour in an attempt to maximize his time spent with celebrity partner Bill Murray. On the especially embarrassing 18th hole, Duval misses eight consecutive puts during a last-ditch effort to get Murray to reprise his Nick The Lounge Singer character. Feb. 19Olympic swimming champion Michael Phelps comes out against flip-turns, calling them 'disorienting' and 'ultimately an annoyance.' Phelps is issued a lifetime ban by the conservative, tradition-minded International Olympic Committee. Mar. 15Fencer Julia Leszko is ranked first in the nation in epe, earning the right to represent the U.S. at the Lisbon World Championships in August. The attractive and personable Leszko also earns the attention of several stalkers, a problem she resolves in a graceful, yet swashbuckling, fashion. May 8Vijay Singh wins the Wachovia Championship to little fanfare. Tournament organizers grudgingly invite him to Tiger Woods' gala 11th-place celebration dinner, sponsored by Buick and Nike and featuring a special guest performance by Beyonce Knowles. May 29Dan Wheldon wins the Indianapolis 500, but his victory is overshadowed by the fourth-place finish of IRL Rookie Of The Year Danica Patrick, only the fourth woman to compete in the race and the first ever to lead.

1	Describing it as a common nightly ritual for tens of millions of Americans nationwide, a report published Thursday in The American Journal Of Sociology revealed that 84 percent of married individuals get out of bed and head to their second familys home as soon as their spouse falls asleep. The vast majority of subjects we studied lied motionless in bed each night and waited until the very moment their husband or wife drifted off to sleep, at which point they silently slipped out from under the covers and then drove straight to a home occupied by another romantic partner and several other sons and daughters who theyve also raised since birth, said study co-author Anthony Copeland, who noted that within the first 60 seconds of dozing off at night, the typical Americans spouse was already out the front door and on their way to visit a second, entirely separate set of loved ones. After gingerly placing the blanket back in its place, tiptoeing down the stairs, and slowly backing out of the driveway to avoid making any noise, married Americans will typically spend all night with this other family that they deeply cherish and show great affection toward, before ultimately returning and slipping back into bed moments before their first spouse wakes up and rolls over. Copeland added that in nearly every case, the families that spouses sneak off to visit at night consist of far more attractive partners and better-behaved children who live in much nicer, more expensive homes. 
2	Brave Marine Does THIS After Wife Is Raped And Killed By Three Men Three men tried to get a marines wife, Brittany Killgore, to have rough sex with them. When she refused, she was raped and killed. Her body was found naked and strangled, dumped near a Southern California lake. Police explored the three mens sex dungeon, which had whips, ropes, sex collars, and many other sex toys. Her husband was stationed in Afghanistan at the time of the murder. All three men have now been convicted on all 15 counts except for kidnapping. If this marine gets his chance, he will make sure these men do not get to live out their sentence. What do you think is the appropriate punishment for rape and murder? 
3	Government Study Uses Off-Duty Police to Collect Blood, Saliva Samples at CheckpointsMelissa Melton According to the local Dallas Forth Worth NBC affiliate, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration set the whole thing up with government contractors who used off-duty Forth Worth Police Officers to help facilitate an $8 million government research study aimed at determining the number of drunken or drug-impaired drivers. Although the set up was supposedly voluntary and anonymous, people who were driving on that Fort Worth road told NBC it didnt feel voluntary at all. It just doesnt seem right that you can be forced off the road when youre not doing anything wrong, said Kim Cope, who said she was on her lunch break when she was forced to pull over at the roadblock on Beach Street in North Fort Worth. [] I gestured to the guy in front that I just wanted to go straight, but he wouldnt let me and forced me into a parking spot, she said. Once parked, she couldnt believe what she was asked next. They were asking for cheek swabs, she said. They would give $10 for that. Also, if you let them take your blood, they would pay you $50 for that. At the very least, she said, they wanted to test her breath for alcohol. She said she felt trapped. I finally did the Breathalyzer test just because I thought that would be the easiest way to leave, she said, adding she received no money. NBC interviewed a civil rights attorney who raised some very valid points: You cant just be pulled over randomly or for no reason, said attorney Frank Colosi. He also noted the fine print on a form given to drivers informs them their breath was tested by passive alcohol sensor readings before the consent process has been completed. Theyre essentially lying to you when they say its completely voluntary, because theyre testing you at that moment, Colosi said. [emphasis added] Although the stops were also supposedly anonymous, there was no mention of what happens when a person who takes one of these tests comes up positive for drugs or alcohol, or what, if any, legal action is taken against them. Colosi also mentioned the obvious, that the study design is totally flawed at its core anyway because most people who are under the influence would simply be more inclined not to participate ultimately skewing the studys results (that is, if the majority of people even realize they can opt out, considering they are apparently being forced off the road by use of an official police roadblock). However, the bigger problem here is an obvious one: by performing this government study under what appears to be an official law enforcement guise, most people will feel compelled to participate, giving up copious amounts of their personal information (and bodily fluids) to fill our governments ever-expanding police state databases.

2	Marine Arrested For Saying THIS About Obama [VIDEO] Those that support the First Amendment know that it guarantees every American the right to freely express their political opinions. However, as of recent, it seems that this idea is under attack. Ironically, those suppressing the freedoms granted by the Bill of Rights are liberals. Now, Brandon Raub, a veteran of the US Marine Crop who has become notorious for his posting his opinions on Facebook, has been arrested by a swarm of FBI, Secret Service agents and local police and detained without charges for mental evaluation. According to reports, the detention was completed under federal program Operation Vigilant Eagle which is intended to keep an eye on former veterans who publicly criticize the government. After ten days of being held, Raub was released. The presiding judge noted that the governments case for detention was so devoid of any factual allegations that it could not be reasonably expected to give rise to a case or controversy. Still, Raubs censorship lawsuit against the government was dismissed. What may sound far-fetched to the courts is a grim reality to Americans who are daily being targeted for daring to exercise their constitutional rights to speak their minds, worship as they please, criticize the government, and defend themselves and their families against over-reaching government surveillance and heavy-handed police tactics, claims John W. Whitehead, president of the Rutherford Institute. Ultimately, Brandon Raubs case tests our tolerance for free speech and those dissidents, he continue, because if we cannot proclaim our feelings about the government, no matter how controversialon our clothing, or to passersby, or to the users of the world wide webthen the First Amendment really has become an exercise in futility. What do you think of the incident?

3	Heres How The Government Is Working To Erode Constitutional Privacy ProtectionsBy Derrick Broze A review of legal documents and interviews with officials briefed on court hearings, reveals that intelligence officials are attempting to loosen Americans privacy protections against government search and seizure. The new details come in a report from Reuters, which found that a recent surveillance order issued to Yahoo Inc. was part of a larger push to change the legal interpretation ofthe U.S. Constitutions Fourth Amendment. Reuters reports: The unifying idea, they said, is to move the focus of U.S. courts away from what makes something a distinct search and toward what is reasonable overall. The basis of the argument for change is that people are making much more digital data available about themselves to businesses, and that data can contain clues that would lead to authorities disrupting attacks in the United States or on U.S. interests abroad. Civil liberties groups and some other legal experts said the attempt to expand the ability of law enforcement agencies and intelligence services to sift through vast amounts of online data, in some cases without a court order, was in conflict with the Fourth Amendment because many innocent messages are included in the initial sweep. Robert Litt,general counsel of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), told Reuters that the legal interpretation of the Fourth Amendment needs to be adjusted. Computerized scanning of communications in the same way that your email service provider scans looking for viruses that should not be considered a search requiring a warrant for Fourth Amendment purposes, said Litt. Essentially, government officials are arguing that since most people unquestionably release their information to businesses via the Internet, that informationshould not be subject to 4th Amendment protections and should be available to intelligence officials in their apparent pursuit of terrorism. The new details regarding this push for a post-privacy world comes in relation to recent secretive order issued to Yahoo. In October 2016, Yahoo Inc.called on U.S. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to declassify a court order thatasked the company to set up a program to scan all incoming Yahoo Mail messages.The request came afterreportsthat Yahoo had secretly installed custom software to search all customers emails, supposedly to isolate only emails containing specific data. The program was installed at the behest of the U.S. government, which used an order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, also known as the FISA court, to legally justify the violation of privacy. Yahoos general counsel asked Director Clapper to confirm the existence of the secret order and declassify it so Yahoo officials can publicly comment about the nature of the program. Tech companies like Yahoo are bound by the law to remain quiet about the nature of government surveillance requests and programs. The FISA court is notoriously secretive with little oversight. Critics say alack of transparency has allowed various federal agencies to run mass surveillance programs with no accountability. The courts were originally created under the the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) in response to reports produced by the 1975 Church Committee. The Senate panel was tasked with investigating the foreign and domestic surveillance operations by the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA),National Security Agency(NSA) andFederal Bureau of Investigation(FBI) during the 1970s. The Church Committee also released detailed reports on the governments Counter Intelligence Programs (COINTELPRO) that were used against activists and influential voices of opposition during the 1950s and 60s. However, since the 9/11 attacks the U.S. government has used the court to secretly interpret surveillance law for law enforcement and intelligence agencies. This allows the police and government bureaucracies to operate in the shadows when monitoring the clueless public.Now, under the protection of the FISA court secrecy, the U.S. government is attempting to find legal loopholes to justify what they are already doing. With regard to Yahoo, the U.S. government ordered the company to create and conceal a special program on its email servers that would search for specific pieces of information. This is known as an about search, the idea being that content is collected because it is of interest rather than being sent or received by an already existing suspect. Reuters noted that the post-9/11 Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board reported in 2014 that about searches push the program close to the line of constitutional reasonableness. In late October, Anti Media reported that the American Civil Liberties Union filed a motion with the secretive FISA Court asking the court to release 23 legal opinions related to the U.S. governments classified interpretation of surveillance law. The ACLU partnered with Yale Law Schools Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic for a motion calling on the FISC to release all opinions that contain novel or significant interpretations of law issued between 9/11 and the passage of the USA Freedom Act in June 2015. The very existence of a secret court system where judges and unelected officials interpret the law of the land is clear evidence that the United States is not a free country. The U.S. is ruled by a cabal of shadow government agencies, Deep State spooks, corporate titans, and banksters. Only when the people wake to this reality and join the information war to expose these crimes will there be a shift in power. With a new awareness of our true power we can change from our current static, unsustainable systems towards building the solutions for a better world.

As if.. first, the contract that those that SERVE WITHIN our governments are under does NOT give delegate to them the authority to recreate our government or to reinterpret it. As Michael LeMieux made clear when he said: The Constitution has very little to do with the American citizen. It was written to establish a Federal Government and to place the boundaries by which that government would operate. The constitution was never designed to provide or enumerate the rights of the citizens but to restrain the federal government from meddling in state and ultimately citizen affairs. Thomas Jefferson: Our peculiar security is in the possession of a written Constitution. Let us not make it a blank paper by construction. James Madison: Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government. The courts were created by that document and may not decide what authority they have, or can take, that is usurpation. The lawful authority that they may use is in writing within the US Constitution and within each states Constitution. Thomas Jefferson: To consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions is a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. Our judges are as honest as other men and not more so. They have with others the same passions for party, for power, and the privilege of their corps The Constitution has erected no such tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with the corruption of time and party, its members would become despots. The authority that those that serve within our governments comes with the position they will occupy be it the branch or an office within a branch. They are then allowed to keep and use that authority as our representatives for as long as they keep the contract they are under do the duties as found in writing within the US Constitution, state Constitutions; tale and KEEP the Oath(s) required of them in order to be eligible to hold that position or office. James Madison: But it is objected, that the judicial authority is to be regarded as the sole expositor of the Constitution in the last resort; Alexander Hamilton: Every act of a delegated authority, contrary to the tenor of the commission under which it is exercised, is void. No legislative act, therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid. To deny this, would be to affirm, that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid. John Marshall: Opinion as Chief Justice in Marbury vs. Madison, 1802: The particular phraseology of the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, that a law repugnant to the Constitution is void; and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument. Our natural rights were NOT delegated, but some were put into the US Constitution to make clear that they were NOT under the jurisdiction of those that serve within our governments. That purpose that our governments state first, then the general (federal really refers to the complete government, not one were created to PROTECT the rights and freedom of the American people, not to hinder, interfere, or destroy and that is in writing, go read it. James Madison, Federalist 46: The Federal and State Governments are in fact but different agents and Thomas Jefferson: The government created by this compact (the Constitution) was not made the exclusive or final judge of the extent of the powers delegated to itself; since that would have made its discretion, and not the Constitution, the measure of its powers; but that, as in all other cases of compact among powers having no common judge, each party (the people of each state) has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of infractions as of the mode and measure of redress. Im looking at a copy of the US Constitution and all Amendments, which I re-read every year at the end of the year and I must respectfully disagree with you. While the Articles, after clarifying that We the People are forming this federal government, address the formation of the three branches of federal government and the rights of the States, the Amendments are all about the Rights guaranteed to Individuals, and most are well known to Americans who graduated from high school still able to read and write in the English language. It is important to remember that those taking federal office are required to make an Oath to the US Constitution and its Amendments. Tptbs biggest fear, which drives most of the surveillance state, is that the people will forms groups or plans to go up against them. I guess we should stop doing business with corporate America If you give people you can not trust, info you would rather be kept private, you are a fool. Same goes for when you speak on your phone, or play on the internet: Assume NOTHING is private there, and act accordingly. Do your business privately. and with people you can trust. Once again, there is just zero accountability for government employees, government departments and government agencies. The Berlin market terrorist plot was allegedly carried out by a terrorist who law enforcement agencies said they were specifically watching for 6 months. So, if these geniuses reading the suspects emails, text messages and listening to his phone calls, analyzing his every purchase and scoping his personal conversations are incapable of figuring out that a deadly killing spree is about to happen, how is it possible that sifting through every Americans business emails and online purchases is relevant to anything. This is just harassment and busy work to justify trillions of dollars of Taxpayer expenditures and the $20 Trillion dollar deficit. Stop the madness. American intelligence agencies cant even follow up on known suspects! Just Say NO to this nonsense. 
1	In response to widespread calls to end the barbaric practice, Major League Baseball issued a statement Thursday banning electric prods as a means to force players into batting cages. There is no doubt the prods work, but giving players a painful shock in order to drive them into batting cages is both cruel and inhumane, said MLB commissioner Bud Selig, noting that many veteran players show visible scarring from years of being guided into the cages with the two-pronged high-voltage electrical devices. If these players are simply given more time out in the field during games, they will be far less reluctant to get in the cages later. Most are visibly terrified the second they see their manager get the prod out, and once they catch a glimpse of the pitching machine, its far more difficult to move them without a fight. Reached for comment, many MLB managers revealed their skepticism regarding an effective method to move larger, more aggressive players like Matt Adams and A.J. Pierzynski into a batting cage without some level of brute force. 
2	Watch All Hell Break Loose When Pastor Drops A BOMB On Muslim Imam About Muhammad On a segment with Fox News Channels Sean Hannity this week, Pastor Robert Jeffress and Imam Mohammad Ali Elahi discussed the differences between the believers and each of their religions. At the very beginning of the segment, Elahi asked Jeffress to stop saying radical Islam. It is either radical or Islam, but cant be both, Elahi commented. Islamic radicalism is a big lie. This was his answer when Hannity asked if radical Islam was a threat to the United States. Yes, ISIS is evil, Elahi acknowledged, before saying, Islam is not evil. Evil is ignorance. Evil is injustice. Evil is prejudice. Evil is racismRadical Islamists are evil, because they are not Islamic. This sounds eerily close to Obamas rhetoric, given that he wont even acknowledge Islam as a threat. Finally, Elahi pulled out the Ku Klux Klan card, relating them to Christians. That did it in for Jeffress, who had heard enough. You cant find one verse in the New Testament that saying, Kill unbelievers, Jeffress argued. Jesus, the founder of our faith, didnt kill anybody. But you look in the Quran, you can find thirty-five sword verses. Jeffress is the pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, as well as an author and a radio host. Muhammad was nothing but a bloodthirsty warlord who beheaded 600 Jews who would not follow him, he concluded. What do you think of this dispute? 
2	Delta Force Kills ISIS Leader According to recent reports, counter-terrorism unit Delta Force has just made a raid behind Islamic State group lines in Syria and were able to successfully eliminate a top commander for the terrorist group as well as several Islamic State militants. The members of Delta Force are made up of the United States Armys most elite soldiers, and are often recruited out of Army Special forces. Abu Sayyaf, who was killed in the raid, was the Islamic State groups number one financial supporter and was in charge of the oil and gas operation that was funding many of the groups activities. While on the mission, Delta force encountered a contingent of ISIS and were able to defeat them using hand-to-hand combat. Reports indicate that at least a dozen radical terrorists were left dead. Delta Force personnel were able to get behind enemy lines and complete their mission without incident. Fox News has reported that along with killing Sayyaf, Delta Force was able to capture his wife, who is believed to have been heavily involved in the human trafficking ring that served as an additional source of income for the organization. What do you think? Do we need more successful missions like this? Is this a huge win for America?

2	The Reason Muslim Owner Kicked Disabled Vet Out Of His Restaurant Is Disgusting It is an increasing trend for veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to start working with a trained service dog. Service dogs have been trained to help their owners get through life, and through things like anxiety attacks. Federal law requires that service animals be allowed into any business. However, that wasnt the case when US Army veteran Richard Hunter attempted to bring his service dog into a Subway in New Jersey. According to ABC13, the 50-year-old veteran was attempting to eat at the restaurant with his son and coworkers, when the manager approached him and told him dogs were not allowed in the store. The sign on the door said service dogs were welcome, and his dog was clearly identified. The manager went on to claim that he could refuse service to anyone that he wanted. Later, Mitul Ahmed, the owner of the restaurant, not only denied that the incident took place, but even claimed that he was not at the restaurant that day. The owners son, however, has apologized for his fathers wrongdoing. Hunter is not taking legal action. He is only asking Ahmed for an apology. The Subway owner continues to refuse. 
1	Despite remarkable advances in health care and the study of medicine in recent decades, scientists remain baffled by Sudden Elder Death Syndrome, a disorder that cuts long lives short and leaves aggrieved loved ones wondering why. Also known as Craftmatic Adjustable Bed Death, SEDS is the sudden, unexplained passing of an elderly person. In many SEDS cases, even a full autopsy and a review of 80-plus years of health records cannot account for the mysterious death. 'We have no forensic explanation for it,' said Dr. Martin Gerrard, chairman of the SEDS Institute. 'These seemingly healthy elderssome of whom are performing such normal activities as eating liquefied food, trying to stand up, or taking frequent napsjust stop breathing.' According to a study published by the SEDS Institute, Sudden Elder Death Syndrome is the leading cause of death among people over the age of 85. Nicolai Korsgaard, author of the most comprehensive SEDS investigation conducted in the past decade, said scientists have been unable to replicate his results because study participants often succumb to SEDS before the studies are complete. 'Over 99 percent of elders between the ages of 100 and 105 die of SEDS,' Korsgaard said. 'As a researcher and caregiver, I can't think of a scenario more gut-wrenching than that of a healthy and contented centenarian slipping into a deep slumber and never awakening.' The earliest recorded SEDS fatality occurred on American soil in 1661, when 58-year-old English-born colonist Jonas Clay died in his sleep in his cabin. While advances in mattress technology and elder care have raised the average age of SEDS victims from 54.5 in 1700 to 78.6 today, the mysterious syndrome kills at exactly the same rate it did three centuries ago. 'Doctors haven't isolated any genetic anomalies or behavior patterns among elders afflicted with SEDS,' Gerrard said. 'The one constant in the SEDS community is age. We do know that the older one gets, the greater the risk of becoming a victim.' However, independent research group SEDS Prevention Alliance has detected patterns among SEDS victims. 'Nearly 80 percent of SEDS deaths occur in a home setting, such as a nursing home or assisted-living facility,' said SEDSPA director Melinda Byrnes. 'Inactive elders who lie in their beds all day ingesting prescription medicines are especially susceptible.' For many loved ones of SEDS victims, however, these and other theories offer little comfort. Atlanta resident Mary-Beth Soltis, 34, lost her grandmother Esther, 91, to SEDS in 2003. 'Every day, I think, 'There must have been something I could have done to save Nana,'' Soltis said. 'When I left the hospital the night before, I never thought that it would be the last time I saw her. What did I do wrong? I'm a terrible granddaughter.' Byrnes recommends putting elders to sleep on their backs, checking on them regularly, and monitoring them with a device called an electrocardiograph, which emits a sustained electronic tone if your elder is in danger of succumbing to SEDS. 
1	In a shocking revelation that has rocked Thomas E. Dewey High School, sources in Mrs. Trimble's third-period English class confirmed this week that 17-year-old Jessica Milly will soon begin putting out. At approximately 10:15 a.m. Wednesday, Milly made the watershed announcement to Tanya Harris, her best friend since sixth grade, saying she planned on going all the way with her boyfriend of three months, Josh Gibson. 'I didn't think she'd put out until senior year at the earliest,' said classmate Eric Dobbratz, adding that the school's entire male population was now far more optimistic about the potential of getting laid before graduation. 'I heard she did some stuff with Josh under a blanket at Josh's mom's house, but she didn't get naked or anything and they just rubbed against each other with all their clothes on until Josh got really bad blue balls.' 'I had no idea she was ready to start spreading for guys,' Dobbratz added. 'I'm really glad I held out for her. Jessica is really frickin' hot.' Milly's level of willingness to put out has reportedly been monitored closely by the student body of Dewey High School over the past three years. Several students, most of whom maintained they heard it from a ton of different people, claimed Milly and Gibson would be doing it for the first time at Andy Wheeler's party Friday night. Classmates Respond To Jessica Millys Decision To Put Out 'Andy's parents are going to be out of town and the house is super huge,' said Heather Jones, who sits behind Kyle Barber in Mr. Jenkins' class and overheard the sophomore describing how everybody was going to be wasted and going at it. 'Plus, there's plenty of places where you can do it, like the master bedroom, and they have two different couches in the basement.' While many details remained unclear at press time, sources close to Gibson said the 17-year-old is planning on doing it with Milly at least five times on Friday night, and is hoping to try doggy style. Conflicting and hotly disputed reports have surfaced, however, with certain factions insisting Milly will likely dump Gibson and instead put out for a starter on the varsity football team after Friday's home game against Redford North High School. Other possible benefactors of Milly's recent decision to finally let a guy put it all the way inside her reportedly include homecoming king Ryan Hutchens; Jeremy Stoeger, who is really good at guitar; and Sam Robbins, who, although quiet and sort of weird, is said by reliable locker room sources to have a humongous dick. 'I don't care who she gives it up to, as long as I get some,' junior Henry Goodwin said. 'After all the stories about her letting that guy from Dearborn Heights she was dating rub his cock against her pubes a little when she was a sophomore, everyone knew it was only a matter of time.' 'This is the biggest news since Tina sucked off Blake Whitcomb underneath the bleachers,' Goodwin continued. Many upperclassmen concluded Milly's decision to put out was part of a domino effect that began when her friends Julia and Kelly started putting out six months ago; those with knowledge of the situation suspect Milly's decision to go all the way could eventually open the door to juniors Samantha Moss and Melanie Cannon finally giving it up. While most male students were excited by Milly's announcement, others expressed a tempered enthusiasm, recalling that Milly did not lose her virginity after she was felt up by senior Tim Penderman during a ski trip last January. 'Even if she does start to put out, she's not going to do it with everybody,' said sophomore Jacob Mitchell, adding that Milly would likely still withhold sex from the vast majority of the school's males. 'I'd be totally happy if I even got a hand job from Jessica, or got to titty-fuck her.' In a related story, several sources who went swimming last summer with Karen Anderson confirmed the senior has a huge bush.

2	Muslim Refugees THOUGHT They Could Take Over, Then These Bikers Showed Up Over the last year, weve watched as Europe has descended into chaos, with millions of Muslim refugees taking over the continent. Now, a group of patriots are fighting back. According to reports, a group of bikers, hooligans and bouncers organized a migrant manhunt on Facebook. The group then went on to attack a gang of Pakistani migrants in Cologne, France. Two young Pakistani men needed hospital treatment after being attacked by vigilante gangs hunting foreigners in Cologne in apparent revenge attacks for the mass sexual assaults on women on New Years Eve, a local paper reported, adding that police said the first incident took placewhen a group of about 20 men attacked six Pakistanis near the main station near the railway station where the New Years Eve attacks took place. Another report noted that shortly after the first attack, a similar incident unfolded, ending in a 39-year-old Syrian national being assaulted by a group of five people. What do you think of these reports? Do we need to protect our country before its taken over by senseless violence? 
2	Obama Admin Bans Pork Products, The Reason Why Will Make You Absolutely FURIOUS According to recent reports, the Obama administration has just decided to ban all pork products in federal prisons. While many believe this is yet another move intended to benefit Muslims, the Bureau of Prisons insists that the change was made solely based on prisoners food preferences. Somehow, were not buying that inmates dont like bacon. Why keep pushing food that people dont want to eat? Edmond Ross, a prison bureau spokesman told the Washington Post. Pork has been the lowest-rated food by inmates for several years. Of course, the Council on American-Islamic Relations is already speaking out in support of the new rule. In general we welcome the change because its facilitating the accommodation of Muslim inmates, a CAIR spokesman told reporters. We hope its not an indication of an increasing number of Muslims in the prison system. What do you think? Is this clearly another move by Obama and his administration to support Muslims over everyone else?

When Barack Obama leaves the White House for good today, he will be leaving behind one of the worst legacies of any president in U.S. history. Though he promised the American people hope and change, he has consistently put the U.S. at risk during his time in office. In fact, he has focused most of his energy playing golf instead of actually working. During his time in the White House, Obama has played more golf than any sitting president in over 50 years. During his eight years in office, Obama played 333 games of golfthe second most golf games of any president behind Eisenhower, who is rumored to have played over 800 games while in office. But Einsenhower installed a putting green on the South Lawn of the White House so he wouldnt have to put the brakes on work to enjoy his sport. What do you think? Are you ready for a president who is willing to put the American people first? 
1	Attempting to put together an offensive play during last nights matchup against the Detroit Pistons, the Charlotte Bobcats starting five got lost while driving to the basket, team sources confirmed Sunday. I was heading toward the hoop, but I must have taken a wrong turn in one of the lanes and ended up out of bounds with my teammates behind me, said Bobcats guard Gerald Henderson, who sources said could be seen wandering aimlessly through Time Warner Cable Arena for the bulk of the games first half. Then we circled through the concourse for almost an hour looking for our exit. I swear, we must have passed that same concession stand a dozen times. Upon finally asking a stadium worker for directions, the disoriented Bobcats reportedly made their way back to the court, to the vocal disappointment of fans, coaching personnel, and team owner Michael Jordan. 
2	BREAKING: Trumps Inauguration Hit With Major Blow Liberals were shocked when Hillary Clinton lost the electoral vote by a landslide and theyve been grappling to get her back in the game ever since. Now that Donald Trump is officially scheduled to be sworn in as our next president on January 20, they are doing everything they can to make it as difficult as possible for him. This week, The New York Times reported that three dozen agencies responsible for security at the event are preparing for large groups of protesters flooding the capital, along with the millions of supporters who will be there to honor the president-elect. Security officials are reportedly worried about confrontations between supporters and protesters, given how quickly Trump events have escalated in the past. To paraphrase Tolstoy: Each inauguration is risk, but each is risk in its own way, said Michael Chertoff, George W. Bushs former secretary of homeland security. I cant think of an inauguration that presented more security challenges than this one. There is no doubt that our nation is more divided over the Trump presidency than weve seen in a long time. Hostility is still running high in liberals who feel the election was somehow stolen from them. Everybody knows how contentious the campaign was, Geldart, the District of Columbia homeland security director noted. Honestly, what really keeps me up at night around this is the ability for us to just allow folks to come in, express their views and leave safely. What do you think? Is it time for liberals to show some respect for our next leader? 
2	Not A Snowballs Chance In Hell: Marine Corps General Destroys Obama In Public When President Obama told the public his strategy for dealing with ISIS, he was instantly criticized by a group of American Generals, both retire an active. They did not support the presidents unrealistic plan. On top of that, the president has seemed to be operating blindly, enabling terrorism with a lack of understanding when it comes to foreign policy and what appears to be no real game plan. I dont think the presidents plan has a snowballs chance in hell of succeeding, Marine General James Conway told reporters. Conway served as Commandant of the Marine Corps under both Bush and Obama. He criticizes the plan for its dependency on moderate Syrian rebels to fight against ISIS. Obama has seemingly put all of his faith into the Free Syrian Army, who has agreed to a truce with ISIS. They have also told the public that the terrorist organization is not their main focus, and there are questions as to just how moderate the organization is, given that they have fought alongside Al-Qaeda. There is no question that Obamas plan is flawed. We are not working with a solid force to defeat a common enemy. The Free Syrian Army shares many of the same views and goals as the organization were asking them to fight against. Still, it appears that the president is intent on moving forward with his plan, despite concerns of the American people.

3	The Suburbs: Is America Accidentally Self-Organizing Into Labor Camps?Alex Pietrowski The impact it had on my upbringing was profound, and quite naturally I developed a keen paranoia about repeating history in any small semblance of this sort of institutionalized, incomprehensible terror. My family suffered through this, and have done their best afterwards to warn us. Seeing the labor camps, ghettos and concentration camps of my nation has permanently altered the way I look at human organization. Now, in the United States, I find myself noticing little, yet creeping similarities between the way life was organized under totalitarian militarism and the peculiar ways of the self-organizing structure of modern urban and suburban America. While modern suburbs certainly are not wartime labor camps in any direct terms, our modern civilian lives are already physically resembling the organization of prison camps. In softer, less coercive ways we are naturally dividing and cordoning ourselves off from each other, forming suburban blocks and neighborhood units. Our custom, very comfortable and well-stocked homes resemble luxury cells that we confine ourselves to, growing ever suspicious of even our neighbors. In many American neighborhoods you can walk around for an hour and never see another human being outdoors and not in a car. Increasingly, suburban towns are coming under the control of micro-bureaucracies, neighborhood associations, and Homeowners Associations (HOAs). There seems to also be a rise in the over-zealousness of municipal code enforcement in recent years. An uncle of mine looked up one day from his front porch to see an armed man in the front yard. Packing a holstered sidearm, this unexpected city employee also had a ruler and was measuring a blade of grass in my uncles yard to determine if it violated city ordinance. After years of harassment, letters, time sucked, energy wasted, and tax money burned, the city finally dropped the $2,000 fine they had issued him when, in court, my uncle asked the city prosecutor the bold question, what exactly is the citys definition of a weed? They did not have an answer. HOAs create rules, codes and regulations for homeowners, voted upon by those few who actually participate, enforced by power of contract, and backed up oddly by municipal governments and their criminal justice departments. Infractions of code are punishable by fine, property invasions, prosecution, eviction, forfeiture, arrest, and so on, depending on your personal limit for this sort of thing. It is ruled by force and humiliation; and, like camp guards, eager to enforce unbendable rules, some of your neighbors play out political control fantasies on the boards of these organizations. Something as benign as deciding to paint your front door red, (or some other unapproved color), can introduce into life a world of stress, cost, and interference by the masters of the neighborhood. HOAs are certainly not mandatory, which makes them all the more concerning, because either people seem to prefer this sort of punitive-based micro-management in their lives or they dont care. Not a good sign, however you look at it. In some areas of the nation, such as McKinney, Texas, municipal governments have undergone impressive technical integration with local and federal law enforcement agencies, and have even installed centrally controlled public announcement towers to broadcast emergency information and alarms. These towers, located in neighborhoods, around schools, and located throughout the town are rather startling if you happen to be taking a nap in your home on a lazy Saturday afternoon, as they broadcast alarm tones and messages from a command center, at very high decibels, over the tops of all the houses. The city put them in whether or not you voted for it, protested against it, or begged for it. Many of us are trapped in the suburbs. Trapped with mortgages higher than the worth of our homes, thanks to fraud at the highest levels of our economy, and by the expense of living in the suburbs, buried in debt, weighed down by consumer goods. Modern day work commutes with growing gas bills, skyrocketing electricity costs, being low on liquid-assets, and living paycheck to paycheck, make saving for a move and/or a job change very difficult, if not impossible. If this is not freedom, what is it? The fact that we are self-organizing into units that both create division between neighboring areas and create microcosmic bureaucracy to police ourselves, and that we choose to punish non-conformity rather than invite individualism, says a great deal about our collective mindset. We are voluntarily subscribing to rules that divide us and pit us against each other and single out those who disrupt conformity. While looking at our world this way is arguably somewhat cynical and less than positive, to be mindful of how we are structuring our lives and to acknowledge the dangers of being divided against each other, even at the neighborhood level, is to be empowered to create a more interesting and fulfilling future. Let us work toward re-invigorating our communities by bucking the need for conformity, control and suspicion. Do your part by being friendly, helpful and respectful to your neighbors. Take on creative and positive initiatives like propaganda gardening and ask questions about the role of authority in our lives. Take on initiatives like guerrilla gardening that are proving to impact people in powerfully positive ways, and get to know the organizations and people who influence your community.

2	ExThe race for president has gotten increasingly ugly as we draw closer to election dates. The comments and campaigns were seeing between candidates are more aggressive than any weve seen beforewhich in large part is due to the rift between Donald Trump and the Republican establishment. Now, a mysterious Super PAC with ties to Mitt Romney has started a campaign aimed to ensure that Trump does not secure the GOP nomination. The group, which calls itself Our Principles PAC is headed by former Mitt Romney campaign manager, Katie Packer. The campaign is built on the idea that Trump is a RINO or Republican in Name Only. The organization hopes to give momentum to its anyone but Trump message, and ultimately derail the support hes gotten by changing the public opinion against him. Packer has been transparent in their support of Marco Rubio, but she maintains that she is not in any way affiliated with his campaign. She made headlines after Trumps defeat in Iowa when she posted a clip from Hollywood action film Predator with the caption: If it bleeds we can kill it. The tweet has since been removed, but Packer remains under question. She has refused to disclose who is financing the group that is spending million dollars to advance its message. What do you think of the campaign?

Politico states that Ben Carsons campaign on Friday admitted, in a response to an inquiry from POLITICO, that a central point in his inspirational personal story was fabricated. The weird thing is, Ben Carsons campaign never admitted that. How can Politico be taken seriously if the facts in the article dont even add up?

3	15 News Stories from 2015 You Should Have Heard About But Probably DidntBy Carey Wedler However, while 2015 was discouraging for more reasons than most of us can count, many of the years most underreported stories evidence not only a widespread pattern that explicitly reveals the nature of power, butpushback from human beings worldwide on a path toward a better world. For years, Congress has attempted to legalize corporate and state control of the Internet. In 2011, they attempted to pass PIPA and SOPA, companion bills slammed by internet and tech companies and ultimately defeated after overwhelming public outcry. Then they passed CISPA which the president threatened to veto, having caught wind of the publics opposition to heavy regulation of the Internet (earlier this year, Obama reversed his position). However, corporate interests, like Hollywoods studio monopoly, kept lawmakers tenacity afloat. In October, Congress passed CISA, the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act, but as the Electronic Freedom Foundation explained: CISA is fundamentally flawed. The bills broad immunity clauses, vague definitions, and aggressive spying powers combine to make the bill a surveillance bill in disguise. Further, the bill does not address problems from the recent highly publicized computer data breaches that were caused by unencrypted files, poor computer architecture, un-updated servers, and employees (or contractors) clicking malware links. Just before Christmas, Congress went even further, adding an amendment to the annual omnibus budget bill that strips CISAs minimal privacy provisions even more. That budget bill was approved, though Representative Justin Amash of Michigan has vowed to introduce legislation to repeal the CISA provisions when Congress reconvenes. But CISA wasnt the only attack on citizens privacy this year. Though lawmakers touted the USA Freedom Act as a repeal of the mass surveillance state, in reality, it simply added a bureaucratic step to the process by which government agencies obtain private information. Further, a hack on Italian security firm, aptly called Hacker Tools, revealed that various agencies including the DEA, NSA, Army, and FBI possess software that enables them to, as Anti-Media reported, view suspects photos, emails, listen to and record their conversations, and activate the cameras on their computers At the same time, the United Kingdom and France moved to tighten their already comprehensive surveillance apparatusesin the wake of multiple terrorist attacks. Though governments claim systematic surveillance is necessary to protect citizens and Snowdens leaks endangered that safety the United States government has been unable to produce sufficient evidence the programs work. Instead, the documents the Department of Defense released this year as proof of the alleged endangerment were entirely redacted. While the government has no problem invading the privacy of its citizens, it offers swift backlash for those who attempt to violate its own clandestine operations. Jeffrey Sterling, a former CIA agent, had his first altercation with the CIA when he sued for racial discrimination in 2001. He was subsequently fired. Years later, the CIA filed espionage charges against him for speaking with New York Times journalist, James Risen. Sterling had revealed a botched CIA scheme, Operation Merlin, to infiltrate Iranian intelligence that ultimately worsened the situation, gave Iran a nuclear blueprint, and was deemed by some to be espionage, itself. Rather than acknowledge the woeful misstep, the CIAarrested him, charged him, and ultimately sentenced him to 42 months in prison. The trial was reportedly biased, but nevertheless, was severely underreported by the media. Sterlings conviction reflects the ongoing war on whistleblowers, which Obama has successfully expanded during his presidency. Sterling joins the ranks of Edward Snowden, Chelsea (formerly Bradley) Manning, and others, including a whistleblower who worked for OSHAs Whistleblower Protection Program and was fired for exposing dysfunction and incompetence within the ranks. An annual report from the World Press Freedom Index saw the United States slip 29 spots from last year, landing 49th out of 180 total. In January, journalist Barrett Brown was sentenced to five years in prison for exposing the findings of hacker Jeremy Hammond. Brown was charged with obstructing justice, aiding and abetting, and separate charges of allegedly threatening the FBI in a rant. Hammond, who exposed severe violations of privacy on the part of Stratfor, a CIA contractor, was sentenced to ten years in prison. Browns experience was not an isolated incident. Journalists around the world, like several journalists who were killed while investigating ISIS in Turkey, faced increased danger. One small-town journalist in India was burned alive after exposing a corrupt politician. In an ongoing trend, otherwise peaceful, non-violent individuals were harassed by police and courts not for exposing secretinformation, but for providing information to potential jurors about their rights in the courtroom. One Denver jury nullification activist, followed by another, was charged with multiple felonies for handing out pamphlets that explain a jurors right to vote not guilty in a verdict, even if the defendant is clearly guilty. This right was established to allow jurors to vote with their conscience and question the morality of laws, from the 19th centurys Fugitive Slave Act to Prohibition, both of alcohol in the 1920s and of marijuana today. The Denver activists are awaiting trial, while more recently, a former pastor was charged with a felony for the same reason. In other unjust convictions and failings of the justice system, an African-American man was sentenced to seven years in prison for barking at a police dog, a Kansas mother faces decades in prison for using marijuana to treat her debilitating Crohns disease, and a mentally ill man died in jail after being held for stealing five dollars worth of snacks from a convenience store. He hadinexplicably been waiting months to betransferred to a medical facility. Ross Ulbricht, founder of the dark web marketplace, the Silk Road, was sentenced to life in prison in spite of the fact that he committed no violent crimes though the FBI attempted to paint a false picture that he did, albeit without filing formal charges. The prosecution was rife with corruption and scandal; two FBI agents involved in the case were charged with stealing Bitcoin during the investigation. In July, one admitted to stealing $700,000 worth of the digital currency. 2015 established not only that the justice system remains broken, but the the enforcement class police officers continues to terrorize citizens. In one underreported case, a six-year-old boy was fatally caught in the crossfire of a police shootout against his father, who was unarmed. In another case, an African-American motorist was shot and killed by University of Cincinnati police over a missing front license plate. While high-profile cases of misconduct, including Freddie Gray and Sandra Bland, rightly dominated the news cycle, many more cases of police brutality received little attention. In fact, in 2015, it was revealed not only that the media-propagated War on Cops in America was a myth, but that American police kill exponentially more people in weeks than other countries police kill in years. On the bright side, many police officers did face charges and even prosecution in 2015, including one repeat rapist who recently cried upon being convicted of his crimes. The officers involved in the shooting of the six-year-old boy were also charged with murder. 2015, like many years before, was disastrous for the environment. Researchers from Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley, and Princeton determined Earth is entering its sixth mass extinction, reportingthat species are disappearing at a rate 100 times faster than the normal rate between mass extinctions. Further, thanks, in part, to the widespread use of Monsantos glyphosate-based Roundup herbicide, populations of bees and Monarch butterflies dwindled though, happily, the Monarchsappear to have bounced back. Polar bears also met continued endangerment. The much-anticipated Paris Climate Conference yielded what many environmental activists deemed weak, if not fraudulent, solutions. Meanwhile, man-made environmental catastrophes endangered humans. In Flint, Michigan, lead levels in the water led to increased rates of contamination in childrens blood, prompting the mayor to declare a state of emergency. A massive methane gas leak in the San Fernando Valley, located just north of Los Angeles, has sickened residents and forced countless families to relocate. Authorities have been unable to stop the leak. Thankfully, some measures to help the environment were taken in 2015, including creative solutions to stop animal poaching, the first flight of a solar-powered plane, the launch of a solar-powered airport in India, and Costa Ricas successful effort to draw 99% of its energy from renewable sources. Though ISIS and other terrorist groups were rightly condemned for killing civilians in 2015, the West pointed fingers while committing the same crimes. In fact, one U.N. report released in September found U.S. drone strikes have killed more civilians in Yemen than al-Qaeda. Another analysis released this year concludedObamas ongoing drone wars have killed more people than were murdered during the Spanish Inquisition. Though the U.S. militarys bombing of a Doctors Without Borders (MSF) hospital received global attention and outrage, many other incidents went underreported. In May, one U.S. airstrike on Syria killed 52 civilians in one fell swoop. Additionally, U.S.-backed coalitions have bombed civilian populations, like in Yemen, where Saudi Arabia killed at least 500 children, not to mention two thousand more adult civilians. In other egregious misdeeds, it was revealed that the U.S. military sanctions pedophilia in Afghanistan. Over the summer, dissent grew within the ranks of the DIA, the Pentagons internal intelligence agency. In September, news broke that 50 intelligence analysts filed a report with the Department of Defenses Inspector General to expose their superiors alleged manipulation of intelligence. The intention of the coverup was reportedly to downplay the threat of ISIS and the U.S.s losing effort to fight it, all to maintain the Obama administrations narrative the bombing campaigns have been successful. Similar mishandlings of foreign affairs plagued 2015. It was revealed that the Pentagon had no idea what it did with $8.5 trillion, lost track of $500 million worth of weapons and equipment, and spent $43 million on a single gas station in Afghanistan. A DIA report released in June intimated the military was aware of the rising threat of ISIS, and not only allowed it, but welcomed it. The program to train moderate rebels in the fight cost half a billion dollars but yielded only four or five fighters. Further, multiple generals spoke out this year about the U.S. militarys role in creating ISIS. Additionally, news broke in 2015 that one ISIS recruiter had previously beentrained by infamous Iraq War profiteer, Blackwater. Though few Americans heard about it, in August, a New York judge allowed a trial to move forward that could expose a potential government cover-up in the notorious terrorist attack. The ruling was tepid, allowing a 60 to 90 day window for the case to be dismissed or proceed. A later ruling hindered the effort, citing a lack of evidence; but activists have not stopped fighting for the release of 28 redacted pages from the 9/11 commission report that allegedly implicate Saudi Arabia (a majority of the hijackers on 9/11 were of Saudi origin). Whatever the truth may be, 2015 witnessed growing doubts about the Saudi government, which beheaded more people than ISIS this year. It also sentenced a poet to beheading for writing poetry about his experience as a refugee from Palestine, sentenced a young man, Ali al-Nimr, to crucifixion for participating in anti-government protests, attempted to issue 350 lashings to a British man in possession of wine (though the U.K. intervened on his behalf, and that of al-Nimr; neither will be punished), and initiated a punishment of 1,000 lashings for a pro-democracy blogger, Raif Badawi. Though the approval of the powerful, addictive painkiller for use in 11-year-olds and younger children was unsurprising tothose who follow the agencys track record, the FDAs justification was shocking. After lawmakers wrote a letter expressing concern to the FDA, the agencys spokesperson, Eric Pahon, said the news was, in fact, not that serious because it was already standard practice. Its important to stress that this approval was not intended to expand or otherwise change the pattern of use of extended-release opioids in pediatric patients, Pahon said. Doctors were already prescribing it to children, without the safety and efficacy data in hand with regard to the pediatric population. However disturbing, the FDAs decision comported with other related events this year: President Obama appointed a pharmaceutical lobbyist Deputy Commissioner of medical and tobacco products, a study found swaths of heroin users graduate from prescription painkillers, and similarly, 75% of high school students who used heroin hadpreviously abused pharmaceuticals. In other stories regarding the misconduct of agencies tasked with keeping people safe, the FDA continued to allow meat companies to use a pharmaceutical additive banned in 150 countries, while whistleblowers at the USDA revealed several plants were producing pork products filled with fingernails, hair, bile, and feces. Though the government has long known about the medical benefits of cannabis it holds patents on several medicinal qualities the National Institute on Drug Abuse made waves this year when it published a documentacknowledging the healing properties of cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive endocannabinoid. In particular, it noted [e]vidence from one animal study suggests that extracts from whole-plant marijuana can shrink one of the most serious types of brain tumors. Though more research is needed, the governments admission was unexpected, albeit welcomed by many cannabis enthusiasts. Other studies this year suggestedcannabis may helpheal broken bones and is associated with lower rates of obesity. Though many Americans still faced criminal prosecution for treating themselves and their children with cannabis, 2015 demonstrated the long-term trend of decriminalization and legalization will not be reversed. Nations around the world, from Ireland to Costa Rica to Canada laid groundwork to legalize marijuana to various degrees, while a majority of Americans now support legalization. This year, Anti-Media reported on the insidious relationship between Nestle and the Forest Service in California. The investigation found not only that Nestle was using an expired permit to turn exponential profit on 27 million gallons of water, but that a former Forest Service official went on to consult for the company. While corporate exploitation ran rampant in 2015, many countries around the world fought back. India suedNestle after finding one of its products containedlead, while nations around the world banned Monsanto and GE products. Scotland, Denmark, and Bulgaria, among others, all moved to ban GE crops, while multiple lawsuits, highlighted the serious potential health consequences of the widespread use of pesticides (thoughtheEPA disputed that glyphosate, the key ingredient in Monsantos Roundup, was an endocrine disruptor in June, in November, news broke that the majority of studies the EPA used to make its decision were funded by industry).Though corporate power remains all but monolithic, 2015 saw humans across the world rise up to resist it. Most recently (and comically), a proposed initiative in California is about to enter the next phase signature gathering to place it on the 2016 ballot. If placed on the ballot and passed, it will force California legislators to wear the logos of their top ten donors while they participate in legislative activities. The effort has drawn widespread praise and enthusiasm. Following the death of Freddie Gray in Baltimore, contentious protests broke out, eventually resulting in limited rioting and looting. However, while the media attempted to paint protesters as aggressive, it failed to report officers prolonged prohibition of their physical movement, to say nothing of the riot gear police showed up wearing. After being unable to move, a brick was thrown, but the media failed to report the instigation and discrimination law enforcement imposed that ultimately led the students and protesters to grow unruly. In other manipulations, it was revealed that one Fox News contributor lied about his experience as a CIA agent; he had never been employed at the agency, and only obtained later national security jobs by lying about his CIA experience. Further, CBS edited out comments from Muslims, who discussed U.S. foreign policy as a driver of Islamic extremism during a televised focus group. A study by fact checker, Politifact, revealed that all the major outlets surveyed Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC consistently report half-truths and lies. It is little wonder, then, that another survey found only 7% of Americans still harbor a great deal of trust in the mainstream media. Still, it wasnt just the media that lied. On multiple occasions, government employees were caught attempting to distort facts. In March, news emerged that an IP address linked to the NYPD had attempted to edit the Wikipedia page on Eric Garner. Computers inside Britains parliament were linked to attempted edits on pages detailing sex scandals, among other transgressions. In a related story, the FBI reported it had foiled yet another terrorist plot, and once again, it was revealed the culprits were provided support from an informant working for the bureau. Further, in August, WikiLeaks released cables that showed an Americanlobbyist for Saudi Arabiaorganized a $6 million ad campaign against the presidents nuclear deal with Iran, all through a well-funded group called the American Security Initiative. Thelobbyist, Norm Coleman, is a former Republican senator. In one of the most widely-contested pieces of legislation in recent memory, the Trans-Pacific Partnership moved forward, often in secret. The TPP has been condemned as a corporate power grab that ensures profit for pharmaceutical companies, among many other loathed industries. From clamping down on Internet freedom to effectively sanctioning sex trafficking, TPP signals an ominous fate for the future of freedom. Amid the carnage of the Paris terror attacks, the recent shooting in San Bernardino, and the surge in Syrian refugees seeking asylum in Western nations, attacks against Muslimsskyrocketed in 2015. In the United States, Muslims have been attacked for praying in public, wearing traditional head scarves, and for simply being out in public. Sikhs have been caught in the crossfire for the crime of being brown and wearing cloth on their heads and thus being confused with Muslims while at least one Christianhas been terrorized as a result of the unmitigated hate currently permeating modern society. Many European nations and U.S. states have rejected the influx of refugees from war-torn Syria. Amid the increased hate against Muslims, however, has come an outpouring of love and tolerance. Muslim groups across the world have condemned terror attacks, raised money to help the families of victims, andpromoted programs to discourage extremism. At the same time, citizens across Europe, Canada, and even parts of theUnited Stateshave welcomed Syrian refugees with open arms. 2015 was a year of chaos, violence, hate, and an ongoing struggle of freedom versus oppression. In many ways, it was like the years, decades, and even centuries and millennia that came before. But amid the conflict and often discouraging headlines, humanity has continued to persevere, offering resistance to seemingly all-powerful forces and paving the way for, if nothing else, potential peace, freedom, and respect for human life.

2	BREAKING: Tony Stewart About To Be Arrested As Damning New Evidence Surfaces Latest reports regarding the Tony Stewart case suggest that the NASCAR star may be headed to a Grand Jury. According to reports, there are two possible reasons why the Ontario County Prosecutors Office are taking the case down his path. Either the DA wants to make sure hes covered all aspects of the case, or because there is substantial proof that proves Stewart is guilty. Americans have been debating the issues for nearly a month now, and it has become increasingly clear that there are many factors in play for the incident. The first is the video that was released from that night. According to reports, a second video was released which authorities have analyzed and enhanced as well. Perhaps the video shows some new evidence that leads the DA to believe Stewart may have been more in control of the accident than we think. Others argue that the Ontario County DA is simply doing what he can to protect himself in the eyes of the media. Given the massive national attention on the case, it is extraordinarily important that he examine all angles. And if the Grand Jury claims there is not enough evidence to prove Stewart guilty beyond reasonable doubt, the case will be dropped. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
3	5 Times the United States Helped ISISBy Darius Shahtahmasebi This aerial bombardment coincided with an offensive launched by ISIS militants, who then sought to take back government-held facilities. In the eyes of Russia and Syria, the aerial offensive was working in tandem with ISISs ground offensive, confirming their concerns the American-led coalition has been providing air cover to ISIS militants. This should come as no surprise to anyone who has followed the rise of groups like ISIS in the Middle East. Since ISIS replaced al-Qaeda in 2014 as the top monster to fear, the U.S. has aided the group in a number of ways, both covertly and overtly, despite officially declaring war against the savage terror group. Lets examine some of the ways the U.S. has directly aided ISIS while claiming to fight against it since the American-led war began in 2014 (the U.S. aided ISIS growth from the outset, but that is a topic for aseparate article). In June 2014, ISIS crossed the Syrian border into Iraq, effortlessly taking the strategic oil-rich cities of Mosul and Baiji and almost making it as far as Baghdad. Amid the terror groups frightening victory, they uploaded images and footage of drive-by-shootings, large-scale death marches, and mass graves (following the mass executions of Iraqi soldiers). ISIS militants claimed massive quantities ofAmerican military equipment,including entire truckloads of Humvees, helicopters, tanks, and artillery, as their own. This was no secret to Washington, or even the world, as the militants photographed and recorded themselves and publicly flaunted their activity on social media. What did the U.S. do in response? Nothing. In spite of all the American bases in Iraq and the governments ability to perform all manner of illicit activity including assassinating Muammar Gaddafi in Libya using a drone that was flown out of Sicily by a pilot who operated the vehicle from a naval base inNevada the U.S. couldnt do anything to stop ISIS rapid advancements. Was there a problem preventing the U.S. military from conducting air strikes? Clearly not, as the U.S. had been launching drone strikes in Pakistan ataround the same time ISIS advanced. In documenting ISISs expansion, the media previously reported ISIS was enjoying a lucrative oil business in which they were earning at least $50 million a month. Who, exactly, was buying this oil? Mainstream media refused to investigate this openly, and the United States Air Forcedid nothing to try to eliminate ISISs main source of revenue. On the other hand, Russian air forces began targeting convoys of oil headed into Turkish territory in November 2015. In a completely unrelated matter, Turkey shot down a Russian bomber they claimed violated Turkish airspace (for 17 seconds). Russian and Turkish relations immediately deteriorated, and Russia responded in kind with sanctions. They also citedsatellite evidencethey claim shows Turkey is the main importer of ISIS oil. The U.S. government disputed the evidence, offered no evidence of their own, and was forced to partake in the Russian assault on ISIS oil tankers in anattempt to play catch-up. This whole debacle raised the question of why on earth a country with as shady and brutal a reputation as Russia is doing the job the U.S. claimed they were going to do. The U.S. was forced to offer an explanation as to why they had not targeted the main source of ISIS revenue. According to former CIA directorMichael Morell, environmental damage and the need to protect Iraqi and Syrian infrastructure were the reasons why the U.S. did not target those oil tankers: We didnt go after oil wells, actually hitting oil wells that ISIS controls, because we didnt want to do environmental damage, and we didnt want to destroy that infrastructure. Makes sense. The U.S. military has a long history of protecting the environment and public infrastructure (it doesnt). In May 2015, ISIS overran the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra in whatCNNclaimed was a swift, destructive takeover or yet another city in the brutal quest to expand its caliphate in the Middle East. The capture of Palmyra risked the future of a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was described as having stood at the crossroads of several civilizations. Once again, during this brutal takeover of a historic city, which is home to tens of thousands of civilians, American air forces were nowhere to be seen. At of the end of last year, the U.S. had spent approximately over $5 billionUSD specifically fighting ISIS yet somehow didnt take the initiative to use the most advanced air force in the world to counter their offensives. In October 2014, theWashington Post reported the U.S. Air Force accidentally delivered weapons to ISIS that were intended for Kurdish militants in the Syrian border town of Kobane. The Kurds were battling the Islamic State. Although dropping weapons in a war zone seems like a fool-proof strategy, in this instance it backfired, and the weapons, including crates of hand grenades, were claimed by the terror group. Further, Iraqi and Syrian troopsrepeatedly find ISIS militants with Israeli military equipment following victories against the terror group. Coincidence? Just before the Palmyra offensive was launched last year, ISIS also took the strategic city of Ramadi. Locals again questioned why U.S. forces sat on their hands during the entire operation. Theofficial explanation offered for not intervening was that the U.S. was more concerned with the protection of civilian life if you can believe that. The ways in which the U.S. and its allies have overtly aided ISIS isendless. The above list merely paints a picture of the ways in which the United States military, in particular, has directly aided ISIS while simultaneously claiming to be fighting them. This is something worth investigating in light of the recent attack on Syrian troops that also provided the air cover for an ISIS offensive. Honorable mentions that didnt make this list includeAmericas support for the Saudi-led war on Yemen, which has never once targeted a single ISIS militant, and the recently renewed U.S. air campaign in Libya, which has targeted the city of Sirte. Sirte has almost all but driven out their ISIS constituents. It has been speculated, instead, that Americas motives in Libya are merely an excuse to kill any chance of a Gaddafi-inspired political movement and the campaign is ultimately designed to prolong any chance of solving the Libyan crisis. As stated by the Stop The War Coalition: More Western bombing will entrench divisions and intensify violence. It will inevitably increase bitterness against the West and will do nothing to defeat IS. Stop the War continues to demand Western powers learn the terrible lessons of the last fifteen years and end their addiction to military solutions. Pre-2014 mentions include the fact ISIS was almost wholly aproduct of American foreign policy, as confirmed by adeclassified DOI report.

We know for more than 3 years that ISIS/ISIL terrorists were formed, trained, funded, armed, fed, transported and protected by the United States. In the US, a welfare family is treated with great disrespect, yet millions of times more funding goes into the hands of the most despicable extremists terrorists than ever helps any American family living in poverty. American leadership decries the funding of school programs that inspire, yet American leadership ignores the tens of thousands of innocents murdered, tortured, raped and destroyed by Terrorists funded and governed by the US. Is it any wonder that valuable oil and gas resources were seized by these thugs? Thats the payback via private banking for the corrupt and despicable leadership leading Americans around by the nose. If all of the Pay to Play illegal schemes of the Clinton Crime Family arent enough to make you vomit, then know this, the Clinton Criminals are in bed with every Terrorist organization in the world. Obama, who is not a natural American and who is an ardent Muslim, is loving every moment of the harm caused by the US funded Terrorists. Obama turns over more billions to Iran than to school lunch programs in America, when we know that 40% of school age children arent being fed at home. None of the leadership of America loves America or Americans. Ordinary Americans are fodder. What if I told you that the United States created ISIS/ISIL through CIA Black Funding. Follow the money trails. The truth is out there. Yes they are helped because they are the newest CIA Stooge Squad. Exactly!! And, they are all very aware that Isis is the supreme goddess. No coincidences. Only 5? Its more of ourwarmongering neocon problem in this country. Ive said it before and Ill say it again, arrest and jail the criminal neocons for their many on-going crimes (against humanity and for starting wars of aggression on a lie) and illegal military adventurism in every corner of the world and all of this goes away 
2	Disturbing Footage Shows Yeti Wandering Around The Mountains [VIDEO] This video is sure to make you question everything. New video footage has just been released that appears to show a yeti wandering around the mountains of a ski resort in Spain. The clip was recently published by Daily Mail, who claimed that the footage comes from Formigal, Spain. It was originally posted with the following caption: Strange animal spotted in Formigal. What the hell is this? Since its release, it has been shared thousands of times. Many have weighed in to argue whether the creature is a yeti, a bear, or a soldier wearing camouflage. These are just three of the most popular theories. The resort has confirmed to the press that a search of the area was conducted after the alleged yet sighting. We have spoken to the witnesses of the sighting to identify the area in which it took place and after combing the area we have found nothing, a spokesman for the resort told reporters. We believe therefore that there is no cause for alarm and that visitors security is guaranteed. In any case, we will remain alert. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is this a yeti sighting or something else? 
1	While gathered for a party at a coworkers backyard pool Saturday, out-of-shape colleagues at Shuster, Layne & Associates were struck by the coincidence that they had somehow each forgotten to bring bathing apparel to the festivities. Huh, thats funny. Guess we cant swim, said Barbara Fortner, 44, one of the many pale, somewhat overweight employees who remembered to bring alcohol and food to the poolside festivities but, curiously, forgot body-baring swimwear of any kind. Its a shame we cant take a dip. Ah, well. At press time, the employees were reportedly hovering around a table laden with a variety of dips, barbequed pork, and sheet cake. 
1	Two minutes into the interaction, David Linn ran out of questions to ask coworker Ron Marcone's 4-year-old son Luke. 'I asked him his name, his age, if he has any brothers or sisters, if he's started school, his favorite food, what he wants to be when he grows up, and at least 20 things about the truck he was playing with,' Linn said Monday. 'After that, I just hit a wall.' Linn added that he has newfound respect for Bill Cosby. 
1	Seeking to break the tension and inform others that he was in the bathroom, Barnes & Noble men's-room- stall occupant Larry Ardell coughed Monday. 'I was alone in the bathroom, taking a dump, when I could hear one or two other guys walk in,' Ardell recalled. 'I wasn't sure they knew I was there, and I started getting a little uptight about it, so I decided to cough.' Ardell said he had considered rattling the toilet-paper dispenser as a means of announcing his presence, but decided against it out of concern that it would call attention to his wiping. 
2	Obama Gears Up For Full Military Invasion Of Texas A few months ago, we reported about Operation Jade Helm, a military training exercise in which military personnel operated covertly among the American public. The operation took place this summer, to the opposition of many conservatives, who feared that this may be a dry run for martial law. Texans were especially vocal about their concerns. Now, a video has been released that gives an inside peak just exactly what Jade Helm entailed. Now, it appears or president is planning FEMA camps, but not before taking care of Texas. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is Obama a threat to American freedom and safety? 
1	Angrily stating that he had been completely ripped off, Hollywood actor Matt Damon expressed outrage Wednesday after receiving a set of extremely poor-quality headshots from a man who had charged him $500 and guaranteed professional-looking results. Damon, who most recently appeared in the 2014 science-fiction film Interstellar, is said to have found the photographer via a posting in Craigslists Creative Services section, having reportedly been drawn in by the title of AMAZING Actor/Actress Headshots and a promise to make you look like a celebrity. Look at thesetheyre fucking ridiculous! Im, like, 30 feet away in this one! Damon said while indignantly scrutinizing the images he had spread out on his kitchen table, photographs that he had only moments earlier excitedly pulled from a manila envelope sent by the photographer. What the hell am I supposed to do now? I cant use any of these! He said I looked like a superstar when he was shooting medo I look like a goddamn superstar in these to you? he continued. One of the piece of crap headshots Damon says he cant believe he paid for. After several moments of loudly sighing, shaking his head in disgust, and cursing the photographer, Damon enumerated a long list of complaints regarding the photographs, which included the observations that many appeared overexposed, others were cropped in such a way that the top part of his head was not in the image, and all of them seemed to be out of focus to varying degrees. He didnt have any lamps in there or even a light meterhe just used the flash on the camera, Damon said. I should have known this asshole was a complete fraud when I showed up at his so-called studio. He was working out of half his garage with what had to be a bedsheet hanging down. Seriously, his whole setup was crammed between his car and a concrete wall. Dammit. The 44-year-old actor, who is set to star in the upcoming Ridley Scottdirected film The Martian, said he had planned for the headshots to replace the most recent ones he had taken in 2010. In addition to his complaints about the overall appearance and composition of the shots, Damon stated that the photographer, who basically stole $500 right out of [his] pocket, had ultimately given him a set of substandard photos that casting directors would toss out immediately. He promised me several wardrobe changes and a mix of natural light and studio shots, Damon said. We were going to do some serious ones and some fun, goofy ones; he said in the ad it would be a three-hour shoot, but I was in and out of there in, like, 45 minutes. When I asked him about the outdoor shots that were supposed to come with the Silver Screen Package Id ordered, he just took me to his front yard. Look, my eyes are half-closed in this one! Damon continued. According to Damon, the final presentation of the headshotswhich he could not believe took three weeks to arrive, based on their qualitywas unacceptable, with it being evident that the photographer hadnt done any touchup or other standard digital manipulations. They arent even glossy, Damon said. I guess he used some kind of matte paper, or something? Jesus Christ, can you even imagine if I brought these things around to calls? Id get laughed out of every audition in town! Damon added that he was beginning to suspect the photographer hadnt actually taken the shots of Greg Kinnear and Sandra Bullock that were part of his online portfolio. Despite his immense dissatisfaction with the photos, the actor said it wouldnt be worth his time or effort to try to get back the $500 or have the photographer provide him with another set of headshots. God, theres no point in making this idiot take them againhes just going to ruin them, Damon said. But you better believe Im telling all my friends to avoid him like the plague. I already texted Ben [Affleck] and warned him to stay the hell away from this guy unless he wants to be out 500 bucks. Lesson learned, I guess, he added. Damon said that for all his future headshot needs, he will go to his cousin who has a really nice digital camera. 
1	Providing the drugs dosage information and instructions for use, the label for anti-anxiety medication Ativan reportedly recommends that patients just keep taking more and more of the pharmaceutical until something kicks in, sources confirmed Wednesday. Take two tablets by mouth and then just keep on throwing them back until you can really feel something, reads the label adhered to the pill bottle, which further suggests that users might as well dump out as many 2 mg caplets as can fit into their palm and pop em all in there if nothing really hits them after the first dose. Repeat every four hours, two hours, or however often you think you need a pick-me-up. Contact your doctor immediately if you go through the entire bottle and still dont feel any different. For faster-acting results, an additional sticker on the bottle reportedly urges patients to combine the medication with as many other prescription drugs as they can find. 
3	Syrians Have No Food, NATO/MSM Have No Shame: Madaya Starvation Photos Faked For PropagandaBy Brandon Turbeville The latest attempt at portraying Assad as the new Hitler without a shred of real evidence? Claims that he is starving the residents of Madaya for some undefined purpose that would allegedly benefit his grip on power. Actually, according to the Western media, no motives are necessary. For the West and its populations totally lacking in discernment, Assad is starving the people of Madaya and that is enough. But the truth is that Assad is not starving the people of Madaya. The people of Madaya are suffering because their village is overrun with the savages supported by NATO, the GCC, and Israel. Unfortunately,the Western media that insists upon calling them rebels and activists instead of what they are. Regardless, the recent photos circulating throughout the Western media have been entirely misrepresented in order to condemn Assad the Syrian military. For instance, the photo currently being circulated by the Western media and a number of pro-war NGOs purporting to show a little Syrian girl being starved by Assad is actually a photo of a Lebanese girl, Marianna Marzeh. Mariannas picture was being used side by side with that of a starving girl so emaciated that she appears at the very brink of death. But Marianna is alive and well living in Lebanon with a full stomach. Her family has stepped forward to clear the record that she is not a victim of Assad; and even Marianna herself can be seen in a video saying someone stole her picture off the Internet. The picture thieves were, of course, the death squad fanatics currently terrorizing the people of Syria but attempting to use sympathy for a small child (of which they have none) to demonize their enemy. The Saudi Arabian satellite TV network, Al-Arabiya, has been the number one progenitor of the fake connection between Mariannas photo and the starving girl. Mariannas photo has now been used for the second time for propaganda purposes by the jihadists. Another photo used and claimed to be from Madaya was of a young boy being interviewed and claiming to be suffering from starvation and want. While the suffering was real, the picture was not from Madaya but from the Yarmouk camp in Syria, a Palestinian refugee camp located in Damascus. The photo was also from July 2014. Yet it did not stop the BBCs Jim Muir from posting the image as an example of Assads cruelty to civilians. One image being circulated throughout the Western media of an emaciated boy was paraded about by many mainstream sources including the Associated Press. In reality, however, the picture was one that was taken in 2015, the original having been touched up to enhance the boys emaciated features. The Intl Spectator (@intlspectator) January 4, 2016 Navstva (@Navsteva) January 9, 2016 Another popular image being circulated by the likes of VICE News and Donatella Rivera, Amnesty Internationals Senior Crisis Advisor, is neither current nor from Madaya. The photo shows a very emaciated young boy, crouching shirtless on the floor, ribs jutting out, and staring at the camera. It was first posted in 2013. RT continues in a separate report entitled First Aid Convoys Enter Besieged Syrian Town Of Madaya, Various media outlets, including the Telegraph, the Independent, BBC, CNN and Fox news said Syrians were eating domestic animals, and had been left without any help. Some media didnt bother to re-check the authenticity of images allegedly showing dying Madaya residents. No one has as yet been able to confirm that the images are actually authentic. RT decided to investigate the photos. One haunting image posted on Arab-speaking social media shows a starving man supposedly lying somewhere in the streets of Madaya, a town with a population of about 9,000 people. The victims of starvation caused by Bashar Assad, Hezbollah and Iranian militias on Madaya and Al-Zabadani, says the caption under the image. However, the story behind the starving man turned out to be fabricated. In fact, he starved to death in the city of Ghouta a year ago, according to the Syrian American Medical Society. The picture was taken on January 13, 2015. Mohammad Yoususf An-Najjar, disabled, from Damascus died on 13 January due to extreme cold and lack of food during the government forces siege of Eastern Ghouta, the Syrian network of human rights said. . . . . . Another horrendous picture of a starving man in Madaya has turned out to be a drug addict (or refugee, according to other sources) taken in Europe in 2009. His eyes were even Photoshopped to hide the fact they are blue. The image originally appeared on Al Jazeera. It was subsequently deleted, but not before it had been retweeted many times. The hardships facing Madaya citizens are very real. But the governing force of Madaya is not the Syrian government but the terrorists backed by the West and the GCC. The town has long been overrun by terrorist al-Qaeda forces, most notably Ahrar al-Sham. It should be noted that Ahrar al-Sham is also sieging and starving two other villages in Syria Fua and Kefraya. As one resident of Madaya, an 89-year-old man, told the cameras, The rebels are trading in peoples blood. They are the ones taking all the rice, then selling it for 80-90 notes . . . cigarettes for 5,000 lira; a chocolate bar for 5,000 lira. And they butchered our children! Burned our trees! They caused all this. When aid arrived they stole it and are selling it at high prices. Indeed, the residents of Madaya cannot be any clearer as to who is destroying their lives. You can also see a number of additional eyewitness testimonies in this video by Mimi al-Laham (Syrian Girl), posted on her SyrianGirlPartisan YouTube channel. As can be seen from the video, even the BBC aired a partial clip of residents of Madaya screaming at the so-called rebels for food and haranguing them for stealing the aid that belongs to civilians. It is also interesting to note that Qatari-based Al-Jazeera is promoting statistics that simply do not match up with the facts. According to AJ+, up to 40,000 people live in Madaya and most of them are starving, all because the Syrian government has some illogical plan to starve innocent people. According to other statistics such as the Census conducted by the Syrian Central Bureau of Statistics and reports by RT, however, Madaya has only 9,000 residents. Clearly, there is a massive discrepancy in the numbers. With Qatar having acted as a sponsor and bankroller of terrorists in Syria, one would question the legitimacy of the claims made by the organization. The very fact that such varying numbers can be assigned to one population is evidence enough that there is an agenda afoot. Regardless of whether the images being used by the NGO and journalistic communities are from Syria, 2016 or some other location or time, the fact is that these communities are using photos that are undoubtedly altered, misrepresented, and paraded as if they are something they are not. In other words, the photos are a part of willful deception by these same organizations. Starving children the images now being paraded throughout the Western media in order to drum up hatred for Bashar al-Assad are images that selectively pull upon the strings of the selective Western conscience. It is a curious thing that millions dead at the hands of the U.S. military are merely collateral damage and are deemed worthy of death, with the Western public even deriving some strange sense of righteousness and masculinity at the sight of bodies while, at the same time, the photo of one hungry child is enough to sway their opinion of war and peace. In Syria, tens of thousands of dead children are par for the course. In America, several dead children are justification for the destruction of the Constitution and basic rights. It is a curious thing indeed that the Western media always reports the stories that rattles the collective conscience and that the collective conscience of the nation always responds to the Western medias stories as if they were tailor made for the psyche of the general public. Clearly, the people of the West should question a conscience that must be told what it feels guilty about. They should also begin to wonder where their own inner voice might be and where they were when it was silenced.

Good observations of more egregious bad reporting by media lap dogs. At least a survey of related articles published in the last ~48 hours by the most prominent American establishment mouthpieces (NY Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post) reveals they are largely emphasizing the starvation and unimaginable overall suffering with little baggage. The focus of these articles is on the UN, reporting (on average 5 or 6 times in each article) the seemingly heroic efforts of the UN to bring in aid and broker a cease fire. Mixed in with BS spin, the NY Times goes so far as to blame the worlds powerful nations for not coming to together to fix the problem. More global governance, problem reaction solution, and crimes against humanity. The end justifies the means and Cremation of Care ceremonies (Bohemian Grove). How can we stop it? Stop it by voting for Rand Paul Paul is toast. The best we can do is vote for Sanders, who is capable of beating hawks Trump, Cruz, and Rubio, the top Republican contenders. He can also beat hawk Clinton, since his poll numbers have risen from 3% with minimal media attention to beating her in the first two primary states. Voting for Rand Paul is a wasted vote. He also proposed an amendment to INCR Sanders is not perfect but he is the least likely to get us involved in war wars of all candidates. I believe youre right, Rhonda.. Our govt is almost to the point of no return in terms of deep capture but if enough people woke up and stopped watching the stupid Kabuki theater on their boob tubes, a Rand Paul nomination would send a POWERFUL message that we wont go along anymore with business as usual. I attended a large Ron Paul rally inside the Denver Convention Center when he was running for POTUS, Ive never felt that kind of energy in my entire life. Thousands of fully awake people including the young Loose Change filmmakers handing out leaflets outside and people thanking them. It felt great. All of the other candidates represent more of the same and serve the same masters. To succeed, a freedom revolution would have to be a multi-level assault on every level of infiltration. Never Fear: Cremation of Scare Reminds me of the striped pyjamas of world war two, the fakery just keeps flowing through. All the world is a stage All the whirled: Hold on to your frocks And I note that the staged is now bursting at the seams to the tune of the unholy choir, all Irans now Put-in the fire, expecting some over the top performances any moment, the lame stream media to pronounce the final denouement. Murdoch is a big shareholder in Genie Energy.and Israel gave Genie Thats why we are in Syria trying to overthrow Assad. Its so obvious. Even Trump says GET THE OIL but that oil belongs to the Syrian people. Russia got there first so now what? War with Russia? Israel better watch their step because Pootie dont play. The deposit in the Golan is one of the largest in the world if not THE Pure greedand we are getting caught in the middle. You might consider the notion that the narrative that TPTB intended to overthrow Assad was an elaborate ruse to provide cover for the creation of ISIS (and other objectives). Ive found extensive documentation showing the Syrian and Russian elites are tightly connected to the the west where most of their wealth is invested and they have fully accepted the NWO paradigm of technocracy, UN Agenda 2030, IMF/BIS/World Bank overisght, neoliberalization of their economies including massive foreign investment and privatization of public assets going back to the 90s as IMF directed programs. In the early to mid 2000s this process was greatly accelerated when, for instance, Assads billionaire cousin Rami Makhlouf who controls 60 percent of Syrias economy began funneling money in the UN [Agenda 21] sustainability model and this cousin is also the major shareholder of a transnational oil company operating extensively for years in Syria under the control of Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Barclays, etc. As well, he has most of his wealth in Dubai and offshore shell companies instead of investing in his own people. The Russian plutocracy follow the money trail to the wests NWO paradigm is much more glaring and has been extensively documented. The alt media accepted the line that Syria was one of the nations targeted for overthrow because of elite NWO insider Wesley Clarks public admission that Syria was on the list, but it was Clark who recently suggested in a public interview Americans who oppose the War on Terror agenda (thought criminals) should be placed in internment camps! Clark always drank the Kool-Aid, so why did he leak the list and why did he claim it was a subordinate who informed him what the grand plan was? Very fishy and the US and Israel had been quietly supplying Iran with advanced military weaponry for years and Iran was known to be passing these weapons on to Syria even though US officials were publicly stating both nations were run by dangerous rogue dictators and now we recently heard that the Pentagon was giving Assad intel on the location of ISIS. These issues have not been deconstructed in the alt media. Never accept the line: There be crhooks at all ends Just to add to your expose so fine, blue579, and to wit: Saddam, Gaddafi deaths faked, a la Bowie 69 lying in a Blackstar state, the matrix just love it when the sheople ruminate, whilst the Cabal false flag away towards their NWO date. At this point nothing surprises me. The Kafka-esque moments have become a steady stream of NWO phlegm and mental razors. Thank you, Padraigin Eagle, for sharing your excellent wit and poetic prowess. Thank goodness for the rare and fleeting signs some highly intelligent life has survived the suffocating confines of the Matrix,. The pleasure be mine Not to put too fine a point to it, touch, blue, my Being colour two, gently touched as I am by your rapier through, your words as designed stir the finer minds, time for the comatose to raise the blinds, yet when they finally see will they be willing to fly with the free, or would they prefer to Van Winkle be. One important piece of the puzzle: Early on in the Syria conflict it would have been a simple matter of routing out the western sponsored terrorists with Syria, Russia, and Iran working together to methodically push them out. They had the resources, no question about it. So why did they sit on their hands and do half measures? It seems it was to buy time for the conflict to metastasize into Operation Cyclone 2.0, the creation of an Al Qaeda type group but bigger and composed of more foreign nationals to unleash on the world = ISIS. Unfortunately, alt writers not knowing or admitting Russia was already NWO created a blind spot. If I saw it coming, at least a few others had to have figured it out too. Puzzle no more: blu579 shows them up for sure They all be in the same big bed, east vs. west designed to the psyop needle thread, until the sheoples eyes be well and truly bled, Obama drama and Putin a shooting, the same puppet hands since way back in time be a looting, old new world disorder now upon every border. BELIEVE NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THE PATHOLOGICAL LIARS IN GVT AND THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA TELL YOU! IT IS ALL A LIE! TO BE SURE. Ah, if theyre starving NATO has only itself to blame. i was laughing when i heard 40 000 in madaya were starving,,that figure made no sense at all and for all of them to be starving? yeah right,we know this trickery has been used at every rebel (terror pig) controlled town in syria,,it is amazing to know that despite the big elephant in the room idiots still only point finger at Assad and try to equate the gov to terrorists while completely ignoring the terror caused by these groups 
2	Muslims Try And Attack Off Duty Soldiers, Youll Love The Outcome A recent video shows a group of off-duty British soldiers who were forced to defends themselves after being harassed by a group of Muslim men. Although the video does not depict what happened to initiate the confrontation, it does show that the British soldiers are certainly a force to be reckoned with. The soldiers go on a rampage attacking the men. What do you think of the video? Watch here: What do you think of what these Muslims did and how the soldiers reacted? Do you support these soldiers? 
2	Hillary Is Desperate To Wipe THIS Video From The Internet... See It Before It Gets Deleted Throughout her campaign, Hillary Clinton has faced rumors of her poor health. There have been numerous clips of her falling into coughing fits while campaigning. True to her nature, the 68-year-old has been doing everything she can to hide these clips, and keeps insisting that she is healthy and well. Now, her health is coming into question once again after she was caught on camera having another coughing fir during a campaign rally in California on Thursday. Im proud to be campaigning in California, and I am proud to have the support of so many, so many unions including the United Farm Workers, Clinton said, fighting the whole time. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Could Hillarys health keep her out of the White House? 
1	According to a report released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center, though more than a decade has passed since the events of 9/11, it has still not been nearly long enough to open a restaurant called Bin Ladens. Our research confirms that it is far too soon for a prospective restaurateur or franchise operator to open a September 11themed restaurant named after deceased international terrorist and al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden, read the report, which added that the attack on the World Trade Center by Islamist militants is still too fresh in peoples minds for them to comfortably order a pancake menu item called The Twin Tower Double Stack, an Osama Burger, or the Flight 93-Alarm Chili. There will be a time in the future when Americans will be ready to take their whole family out to Bin Ladens and grab a table in the middle of the Ground Zero dining area, but that time isnt now. So, if youre thinking about opening a restaurant called Bin Ladens, youll have to wait. The report concluded that, based on the success of the McVeighs franchise, the popular Oklahoma City bombingthemed restaurant chain made famous for their Fertilizer Bomb Cheese Fries, the nation probably needs another six years or so. 
3	Americans Consume Nearly 200 Pounds of GMOs Each YearLisa Garber EWG analyzed data from 2011 provided by the US Department of Agriculture to investigate how much GMOs Americans were eating annually. Four foodssugar beets, corn syrup, soybean oil, and corn-based productswere selected for calculation, with 95 percent of sugar beets, 93 percent of soybeans, and 88 percent of corn grown in the US being some of the top genetically modified foods. They found that the average American adult, weighing 179 pounds, consumes 68 pounds of beet sugar, 58 pounds of corn syrup, 38 pounds of soybean oil, and 29 pounds of corn-based products each year. This means the average American eats more than his or her body weight in GMOs annuallylikely more than that. Neither did EWG include the animals we put on our plates, that have been trapped on the equivalent of an economy airplane seat for two years, while having GMO candies, sweets, and corn shoveled down their throats. (And no wonder factory farmers are happy to feed corn to their naturally ruminant cowsit makes them gain more weight!) Research by EWG also indicates that childrenwho are increasingly experiencing obesityare at greater risk of consuming more GMOs because of their superior sugar intake. Its a small wonder if you know that children, who spend an average of seven hours in front of a screen daily, are exposed to more than 15,000 ads each year involving candies and snacks. Hispanic Americans, too, are at risk because they eat between two and three times more corn flour than do those of other ethnicities. GMO Labeling GMOs have been under fire for years as harmful for people and the environment. Numerous studies have implicated it with various conditions, including significant organ disruption (especially of liver and kidneys) and fertility problems. EWG brings up that these studies are difficult to conduct, especially in America where our own USDA is in bed with Monsanto, because the latter decides who gets to study or test what patented GMOs. With even the New York Times writer Mark Bittman apologizing for not calling out the flaws of the Stanford organic food study sooner, its becoming increasingly important for those of us who can to demand that our government allow us to decide for ourselves if we want to eat GMOs. Tell our government: just label it. Additional Sources: Explore More: 
2	Look What Just Happened At The White House... Its Finally Happening After what seems like the longest presidency in history, President Barack Obama will finally be out of the White House at the end of this week. It was a sight for sore eyes this week when someone snapped a shot of a moving truck parked outside of the White House, likely shipping Obamas personal belongings out. This has been a long time coming. What do you think? Are you grateful to have Obama out of the White House once and for all? Veterans Take (@VeteransTake) January 15, 2017 
1	Kevin Stenner, 32, known as 'Uncle Kev' to the wound-up screaming children whose most chaotic, destructive, and self-gratifying tendencies he unabashedly fosters, was referred to as 'good with kids' by parents Sunday. 'Kevin is such a natural, the way he laughs and encourages Clarkie to yank on the dog's tail or climb up the entertainment center like a ladder,' Stenner's college friend Annalisa Pratt told reporters while attempting to calm her son Clark, 3. 'As soon as my son sees him, it's 'Throw things game, Uncle Kev! Throw things game!' And it's so cute the way Kevin makes Clark do that punching thing he does.' Experts theorize that Stenner, who has reportedly described his friends' kids as 'entertaining,' encourages the more savage impulses of children to bolster his own demanding and indulgent ego. 
1	In an effort to make certain that physicians who perform the procedure are fully qualified to do so, a new state law passed Tuesday will require Mississippi doctors to climb an 18-foot wall before entering any medical facility providing abortions. The Clinic Fortification and Physician Excellence Act calls for the construction of concrete barriers nearly two stories tall and 4 feet thick around all clinics offering abortion services, and for physicians working at these sites to scale such barricades unassisted, a landmark piece of legislation that supporters hailed as a victory for womens health. No woman, in this state or any other, should ever receive care from a medical professional incapable of climbing an 18-foot wall, said Governor Phil Bryant, adding that it was ridiculous that women had been living in a place where doctors could perform abortions without first surmounting an obstacle approximately three times their height. Any physicians lacking the necessary upper body strength to pull themselves up and over an 18-foot wall have no business performing such a potentially dangerous procedure. This law is shamefully overdue, Bryant added. Im sorry the women of Mississippi had to wait so long. Authorization for the clinic walls reportedly sailed through the state legislature and was quickly signed by Gov. Bryant, despite failed amendments from a small group of Democrats that would have reduced the walls height and allowed doctors to use assistive devices such as ladders or grappling hooks. According to sources, only the planting of thick, thorny shrubbery along the base of both sides of the wall was removed from the final version of the legislation. But while most conservative activists reportedly praised the new regulations, some suggested that a simple 18-foot wall may not be effective enough to ensure that only the most capable doctors could perform an abortion. These new requirements are a joke and are riddled with loopholesI mean, theres nothing stopping someone from taking a running start or using chalk to get a better handhold on the wall, said Pro-Life Mississippi president Dana Chisholm, who characterized the walls as a watered-down version of a prior law passed in Arkansas that required doctors performing abortions to leap over a 20-foot-wide trench in a single attempt. The message were sending to women in this state is that its perfectly okay for them to be treated in unsafe facilities staffed by people who did nothing more than hop over a glorified little fence. Theres not even any spikes or broken glass at the top, let alone electrified razor wireany old doctor can get up and over it in no time, added Chisholm. Honestly, why even have a wall at all, for crying out loud? At press time, abortion rights activists predicted that many Mississippi women seeking an abortion would travel to neighboring Louisiana to take advantage of that states more lenient laws, including mandatory face-to-face counseling to discourage them from having the procedure, a 24-hour waiting period, and a compulsory ultrasound, during which they will have the fetus verbally described to them, as well as have the option of viewing it on a nearby screen and listening to its heartbeat. 
3	15 Signs That The Economy Is Rapidly Getting Worse As We Head Into 2013Michael Snyder, Contributor The mainstream corporate media says that the decline of the unemployment rate to 7.7 percent is evidence that things are improving, but I already have shown how fraudulent that number is. The percentage of working age Americans with a job today is exactly where it was back in September 2009 in the midst of the last major economic crisis. The mainstream media is desperate for any shred of evidence that it can use to make people feel good and show that the Obama administration has our economy on the right track, and so they jump on any number that even looks remotely promising and they ignore mountains of evidence to the contrary. They dont seem to care that poverty is absolutely exploding and that the number of Americans on food stamps has risen by nearly 50 percent while Obama has been in the White House. They dont seem to care that the U.S. share of global GDP has fallen from 31.8 percent in 2001 to 21.6 percent in 2011. They dont seem to care that more good paying jobs are being shipped overseas with each passing day. They dont seem to care that formerly great U.S. cities that were once the envy of the entire globe are now crime-infested hellholes. All they seem to care about is putting out news that makes people feel warm and fuzzy and making sure that Obama looks good. Unfortunately, the truth is that the U.S. economy is steadily getting worse, and 2013 is not looking very promising at all right now. Hopefully at some point the mainstream media will take a break from coverage of the royal pregnancy and the latest celebrity scandals to report on the real problems that we are facing right now. The following are 15 signs that the economy is rapidly getting worse as we head into 2013 #1 According to numbers that were just released, the number of Americans on food stamps has risen to a new all-time record of 47.71 million. That is a huge increase of more than 600,000 over the previous reading of 47.10 million. After about a year of slow growth, it looks like the number of Americans on food stamps is starting to skyrocket once again. Back in the 1970s, about one out of every 50 Americans was on food stamps. Today, about one out of every 6.5 Americans is on food stamps. #3 According to Gallup, unemployment in the United States shot up very sharply during the month of November. #4 It looks like the unemployment numbers are likely to get even worse. Since the election, dozens of large companies have announced major layoffs. Overall, large companies have announced the elimination of more than 100,000 jobs since November 6th. #5 According to the Wall Street Journal, of the 40 biggest publicly traded corporate spenders, half of them plan to reduce capital expenditures over the coming months. #6 Small business owners all over America are declaring that Obamacare is going to force them to start replacing full-time workers with part-time workers during 2013. #7 One recent survey discovered that 40 percent of all Americans have $500 or less in savings. #8 A different recent survey found that 28 percent of all Americans do not have a single penny saved for emergencies. #9 62 percent of middle class Americans say that they have had to reduce household spending over the past year. #10 Many Americans are trying to make ends meet for their families by going into more debt. Consumer borrowing hit another brand new record high in October. It looks like the American people have not learned from their past mistakes and have decided to roll up consumer debt at a faster pace than ever before. #11 Median household income in America has fallen for four consecutive years. Overall, it has declined by over $4000 during that time span. #12 Wall Street bankers are expecting the worst bonus season since 2008. Not a lot of people are going to shed tears over this one, but this is a sign that there is trouble in the financial world. #13 Food banks all over America are reporting that more needy families than ever before are showing up to get food. #14 As I wrote the other day, the federal government has run a deficit of $292 billion dollars during the first two months of fiscal 2013. That figure is $57 billion higher than it was during the same period last year. Government debt continues to soar wildly out of control and at some point all of that debt is absolutely going to crush us. #15 I have written previously about how the once great city of Detroit has become a symbol of the downfall of the U.S. economy. Well, now the state of Michigan is laying the groundwork for a managed bankruptcy of Detroit. Sadly, many other large U.S. cities will likely follow suit over the next couple of years. We should truly mourn for what is happening to Detroit. At one time, it was one of the most beautiful cities on earth. But now it is on the cutting edge of Americas economic decline. You can see some amazing before and after pictures of an abandoned Detroit school right here. Sadly, what is happening to Detroit will soon be happening to the rest of the country. A similar thing is happening over in Europe. Greece is on the cutting edge of Europes economic decline, and people over there are becoming very desperate. The following is an excerpt from a Financial Post article about how the Greek middle class is turning to crime as the depression in that nation gets even worse In the once stable neighborhood of Kordelio, the unemployed and drug users gather in the parks, scaring away mothers and children, and crimes like chain snatching are on the rise. Many long-time residents have left, moving abroad or to their families villages, leaving behind empty houses, said Evangelia Rombou, 58, who has lived in Kordelio for 22 years. But it is not just Greece that is grappling with these kinds of issues. Now even countries that had been thought to be stable are experiencing significant problems. For example, a massive crime wave has broken out in France. The crime wave in France is being blamed on austerity, but the government of France still spends far more than it brings in. So how bad would things get in France if the French government actually did go to a balanced budget? And how bad would things get in the United States if the federal government was not stealing more than 100 million dollars an hour from our children and our grandchildren? Even in the midst of our debt-fueled prosperity we are starting to see glimpses of how desperate people will become when our country is someday forced to live within its means. For example, the following is from a report about an incident that happened in Columbus, Ohio the other day Columbus Police sprayed Mace on several people in a crowd that had gathered to sign up for a list to get subsidized housing at a northwest Columbus apartment complex. Police said the crowd started to gather Friday night for the Saturday morning event at The Heritage apartment complex on Gatewood Road near Sunbury Road in northeast Columbus. Authorities said that its highest number, the crowd reached 2,000 people. Our entire economy is a giant mirage. Our prosperity has been purchased by stealing from the future. A few people have been warning that we have completely destroyed our future in the process, but both major political parties just continue to do it and the mainstream media just continues to cheer them on. At some point this con game will end and this economic mirage will disappear. When that happens, millions of people all over this country are going to become very angry and very desperate. I hope that you have a plan for what you will do when that happens. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

2	Donald Trump DESTROYS Obama Amidst Muslim Accusation Controversy [VIDEO] Donald Trump has been facing immense backlash after he neglected to correct an audience member at a town hall event that said we have a problem in this country; its called Muslims. In an interview on CNN following the event, Trump told Jake Tapper that he would not apologize for the comments he made in response to the question. Youre a leader, Tapper began. Youre the frontrunner in the Republican race. Do you not have a responsibility to call out this hatred? Are you trying to say that we dont have a problem? Trump shot back, claiming that he is being criticized for not taking the politically correct route. Because I think everybody would agreewe certainly do have a problem. I mean, you have a problem throughout the world. Whats the problem? Tapper grilled. Well, you have radicals that are doing things, the legendary businessman answered. I mean, it wasnt people from Sweden that blew up the World Trade Center, Jake. Tapper then went on in an attempt to paint Trump as a racist, asking how Trump would respond if the audience member said: We have a problem in this world; its called blacks. No, Trump concluded. Butwe have a problem with radical Muslims. It seems like Tapper and liberals are forgetting that Muslim is not a race. 
3	Scientists create false memories: what part of Matrix is this?Jon Rappoport The rats remember something frightening that never happened. Well, not exactly, if remembering implies a conscious act. Pavlov did what the MIT scientists did. He used dogs. He got them to drool when he rang a bell signaling it was feeding time, even though there was no food. The dogs remembered times when the bell accompanied food. Conditioned reflex. But there is something conditioned reflex doesnt cover. The act of remembering. The knowledge that you are remembering. Why is this important? Because were talking about being conscious, being aware, which, the last time I looked, has something to do with being alive as a human. Life as conditioned reflex is about machines. What Pavlov did, what the MIT scientists did, is, on another level, all about a propaganda operation aimed at convincing the masses that life is nothing more than conditioned reflex. One program inserted into the mind is just as good as another program. It just depends what the desired behavioral outcome is. So were talking about tyranny over the mind. Fascism. We can get you to remember anything. No. They can force conditioned reflexes. If you grew up in Miami, and one day, while walking down the street, you realized you had a memory of growing up in India, do you seriously think youd accept that memory? Having a memory (passive) and remembering (active) are two vastly different things, if youre not a machine. The amount of force (torture) it would take to erase that difference is enormous. So were back in MKULTRA territory. Wholesale conditioning. Coercion. Disorienting drugs. Thats what the famed CIA program was all about. Thats what it takes to blot out one past and insert another, just for a few hours. The conscious act of remembering is more than just brain activity. Consciousness is not a function or property of the brain. This isnt woo-woo stuff. Its as real as you sitting there reading this, the room youre in, the light in the room. Unless someone can talk you out of knowing that. Unless the tidal wave of propaganda about the brain as the center of all knowing can convince you to believe youre nothing more than brain processes. Unless you believe that all life in all its variety can always be measured. In which case, we have the incredible situation of a non-material YOU believing you are only material. If you want a cosmic joke, thats it. If you want to know something about Matrix, theres a good starting point. There is nothing about the brain that can give you the knowledge that you UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THE WORDS ON THIS PAGE. The brain does not possess the understanding of meaning. A machine can process information, but it never understands it. A machine can process information and take action based on instructions, but it can never know what its doing. Revving up the complexity of a machine doesnt make it evolve into consciousness. Thats a fairy tale sold by technocrats. Thats all theyve got. Theyve abandoned everything else. Theyve abandoned imagination and creative power and the capacity of the individual to invent new realities of all kinds. The basis of the American Revolution was supposed to be freedom, but of course, if the brain is the center of all knowing and behavior, the brainwhich is simply atoms in motion like all other atoms in the universecontains no freedom at all. Therefore, the whole idea of freedom is a preposterous hoax, and people, when they argue and fight for freedom, are terminally deluded. They should just stop what theyre doing and lie down and take it. Take whatever program is jammed into their brains. If the morons at MIT had any self-knowledge and courage, theyd stop what they were doing. Theyd shut down the lab. Theyd stop bothering the rats. Theyd access the open sky of their own imaginations. Theyd create something. They might figure out how to launch a revolution that could take back the freedoms weve lost. They might become artists. Theyd give their materialistic bullshit a rest. Theyd realize theyre alive and conscious. Theyd realize this has nothing to do with their brains. Theyd realize theyve been living in a psychotic state, believing on the one hand that all the particles that make up the universe have no life in themand on the other hand, believing that those same particles, when arranged in something called the brain suddenly give rise to everything called life in humans. Its a matrix of contradiction, a loop in the labyrinth where science lives, where science tries to enlist everyone else in its primary illusion.

2	Sheriff Joe Slaps Al Sharpton After He Demands Sheriff Resign For Racism When Al Sharpton decided to call upon Maricopa county Sheriff Joe Arpaio to resign, following his announcement that he would be making illegal immigration sweeps through the country, Arpaio did not take the comments quietly. In alignment with ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis, Sharpton vowed to come to Arizona pensonally if Arpaio did not resign. The pair also deemed Arpaio and his officers racists. Read the letter Arpaio wrote in response and tell us what you think! Dear Reverend Sharpton: I have read about you with much interest since learning of the protest you plan to lead against me in Maricopa County in June as a way to force my resignation or removal from office. Your public proclamation leads me to the conclusion: not only do you not understand Arizona; you also do not understand democracy. As the elected Sheriff who, so far has been elected to five consecutive four-year terms, I answer to the four million residents of Maricopa County. I do not answer to the whims of the media, or locally and nationally elected officials who want open borders and who have their own agendas. Nor do I answer to a publicity hound outside interloper who has demonstrated no interest in looking for the truth before making loud uninformed noises. While your public outcries are colorful, there are several instances where you have inserted yourself into other peoples affairs without knowing any of the facts. Poor judgment has caused you plenty of trouble in the past and promises to do so again. Most earnest people want to learn by their mistakes. You seem to glory in repeating them. I would like to help you avoid further embarrassment by assisting in your understanding of the illegal immigration problem here in my county. When and if you do make the trip here, I invite you to call me to talk about these false allegations. We can discuss how my deputies are extensively trained by the federal government to properly combat illegal immigration and how the laws of this state allow this Sheriffs Office to question and investigate the immigration status of those people deputies detain in the course of our everyday law enforcement duties. Dont make the same mistake made by the four Democratic Congressmen calling for a U.S. Department of Justice investigation of this office. They and other politicians relied solely on media reports and anti-law enforcement handouts that are replete with inaccuracies. They have brainwashed a handful of local residents to believe these lies. Rest assured that the men and women of the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office do not racially profile anyone. However, we do enforce the state and federal illegal immigration laws. And we will continue to do so as long as these laws are on the books. You can parachute into town, stomp your feet up and down and hold more press conferences against me that is a hallmark of democracy too but you will not stop me, nor slow me down for one second, from doing what is right. Before you bring your circus to town and take to our streets by marching against this Sheriff, lets get you fully informed for a change. Congressman John Conyers did not have the courtesy to respond to my invitation to visit with me personally. I hope you will consider my invitation. Surely, a man like yourself a reverend who famously preaches from the church pulpit understands the infinite wisdom of these words: You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. Lets talk about the truth, Reverend. I await your response. Sincerely, Joe Arpaio

1	Addressing the nation from the Oval Office this evening, President Barack Obama announced that a full-scale U.S. military invasion of the Islamic Republic of Iran is currently underway. At this hour, we have deployed approximately 200,000 troops across the Iran-Iraq border as part of a multipronged military offensive against Iran, said Obama, who confirmed the decision to invade was made unilaterally, without the explicit consent of any other world leaders. To be clear: We are at war with the nation of Iran. On my orders, American forces have fully mobilized and begun striking selected targets with the aim of crippling Iranian nuclear infrastructure. These are the opening stages of what will be a long-term, protracted campaign. Obama went on to dismiss the invasions impact on the presidential election, sternly reminding citizens that we are in a time of war right now.

3	Extrajudicially Held Guantanamo Detainee to be ReleasedBy Stephen Lendman Obamas pledge to close the prison camp before end of 2009 was willful deception. An executive order alone is needed, not congressional authorization as he maintains. Today, 80 men remain indefinitely detained, most uncharged and untried perhaps all innocent victims. Nine perished in captivity, murdered in cold blood. Over two dozen recommended for release remain imprisoned. US forces kidnapped Afghan national known as Obaidullah from his family home on July 20, 2002. Charges against him were entirely fabricated, later dropped. He was never arraigned in a war court. In a later statement, he said: The Americans came while my family and I were all sleeping in our home in the village of Milani, close to Khost City. At that time I was approximately 19 years old. On that night, I heard noises and the soldiers woke me up. I was very confused about what was going on, and why they were in my home, but I and my family cooperated with them. Even though I was not resisting, they tied my feet together and my hands together with plastic cuffs. Then they put a hood over my head and forced me to sit for hours against a wall. The plastic cut into my hands and it was painful to sit that way for so long. I was terrified about what would happen to me. He was forcibly taken to Americas Chapman airfield forward operating base, then Bagram prison, brutally interrogated, tortured, beaten, threatened with death, isolated, his hands at times painfully chained to the ceiling. In October 2002, he was transferred to Guantanamo. Brutal treatment amounting to torture continued. I was very sick for many days, he said, denied medical treatment. In 2013, he said he was losing all hope for release. At the time, Amnesty International said his experience exemplifies the multiple violations of human rights perpetrated by a country that claims to be committed to the respect and promotion of international human rights principles. On May 19, the Guantanamo periodic review board approved Obaidullahs release, a statement saying he has not espoused any anti-US sentiment that would indicate he views the US as his enemy. He poses no threat to the security of the United StatesNeither the detainee nor his family have any ties to extremists outside of Guantanamo. The board recommended he be transferred with appropriate security assurances to a country with a strong monitoring program. Whether hell go home to Afghanistan is unclear. Marine Major Derek Poteet represented him since 2010. This young man should have been released years ago, he said. He was innocent of initial charges against him, fabricated to frame him unjustly. During his 2013 hunger strike for justice, Poteet said he withered to a bag of bones. Once released, he faces a long, hard readjustment struggle. The injustice of what he endured wont ever be erased. The ordeal continues for dozens of other wrongfully held Guantanamo detainees victims of US imperial viciousness. Stephen Lendman lives in Chicago. He can be reached at lendmanstephen@sbcglobal.net.

2	VIDEO: Cheerleaders Take Bold Action After Prayer Was Banned At Their School According to recent reports, one Tennessee high school has decided to stand up for their Constitutional rights for freedom of religion. After facing immense pressure from political organizations to eliminate pre-game prayer, a group of cheerleaders at Oneida High School decided to make a stand. The school made the decision to ban the decades-old tradition after civil rights group began to relentlessly hound them. The prayer had been said before football games in the 1930s. Instead, they attempted to adapt the ceremony into a moment of silence where members of the crowd were invited to take the time to pray amongst themselves. However, when lead cheerleader Asia Canada became frustrated with the limitations, she decided to loudly recite the Lord s Prayer. The decision had an immediate effect, and members of the crowd joined in. By the time the prayer was ended, everyone in the audience were on their feet participating in the vocal protest. What do you think of the crowds stand for religious expression? 
2	Illinois Teacher Stomps On American Flag In Front Of Children, And Then THIS Happens According to recent reports, a teacher in Illinois is facing some serious backlash after stomping on the American flag in a public school. Parmenter was an employee of the Martinsville school district in a tiny rural town. On Thursday, the board voted 6 to 0 to fire Parmenter. His dismissal was immediate. Previous, Parmenter had been placed on administrative leave after he stomped on a U.S. flag in class in mid-May of last year. Students claim he was using the American flag as a pointer. When a student argued that his use of Old Glory was disrespectful, he dropped the flag on the floor and started stepping right on it. He talked about it being the right to do whatever he wants, one student recalls. Thats why it was there so he could do whatever he wants, but we have no idea why he would actually take it down and basically start all this. Parmenter later wrote a letter of apology for his actions, claiming that he was teaching a lesson on free speech. What do you think? Do you support the schools decision? 
2	Black Panthers Plot Bombing, Assassination On Key Ferguson Figure According to recent reports, the New Black Panther Party had plans to bomb St. Louis Gateway Arch and assassinate local law enforcement officials. Still, in light of that, the Justice Department has only indicted two members for minor gun charges. I have always been perplexed with why these guys get special treatment, said former Justice Official J. Christian Adams. Adams also noted similar treatment of New Black Panther Party members in a 2008 case, when intimidation charges were dropped and instead held only against one group member. Two members of the panthers, Brandon Orlando Baldwin and Olajuwon Ali Davis, were indicted on November 19th on federal weapons charges in St. Louis. In the indictment there was no mention of the bombing or the assassination plot. Adams commented on the failure to mention the pipe bomb. Here, once again, you have Justice giving these guys soft treatment, Adam told reporters in an interview. The U.S. attorneys office in St. Louis referred further questions to the Justice Department, who is refusing to comment on the issue. What do you think? Are extremist groups like this dangerous? Should we be stopping them before they carry through their plans?

ROAR for Good is a company that created a device called Athena, which is a coin sized device that can be used for those that are not so accepting on guns. If a woman is being attacked, all she needs to do is activate the device and it sends out an alarm that is louder than a freight train, according to IJ Review. A signal is also sent out to family members that pins their location and advises that the police be called. The product is not yet in production, but Athena has already raised over $80,000, more than their goal of $40,000. This device will soon be in stores. Will you buy one for your loved ones? 
1	During an unexpected moment of clarity Tuesday, open-minded man Blake Richman was suddenly struck by the grim realization that he's squandered a significant portion of his life listening to everyone's bullshit, the 38-year-old told reporters. A visibly stunned and solemn Richman, who until this point regarded his willingness to hear out the opinions of others as a worthwhile quality, estimated that he's wasted nearly three and a half years of his existence being open to people's half-formed thoughts, asinine suggestions, and pointless, dumbfuck stories. 'Jesus Christ,' said Richman, taking in the overwhelming volume of useless crap he's actively listened to over the years. 'My whole life I've made a concerted effort to give people a fair shake and understand different points of view because I felt that everyone had something valuable to offer, but it turns out most of what they had to offer was complete bullshit.' 'Seriously,' Richman added, 'what have I gained from treating everyone's opinion with respect? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.' According to Richman, it was just now hitting him how many hours of his life he's pissed away listening intently to nonsense about celebrity couples, how good or bad certain pens are, and why a particular sports team might have a chance this year. The husband and father of two said that every time he's felt at all put out or bored by a bullshit conversationespecially a speculative one about how bad allergy season was going to behe should have just turned around, walked away, and gone rafting or rappelling or done any of the millions of other things he's always wanted to do but never thought he had time for. At various points throughout the day, Richman could be heard muttering to himself that he couldn't believe he was almost 40 years old. 'Twenty minutes here, 10 minutes there. It all starts to add up,' said Richman, who sat down and figured out that between stupid discussions about favorite baby names and reviews of restaurants in cities he'll never visit, he'd wasted 390 hours of his life. 'And you know what the worst part is? It's my fault. Here I thought being considerate to others by always listening patiently to what they had to say was the right thing to do. Well, fuck me, right?' According to Richman, he started thinking about how much time he's flushed down the toilet being an approachable person after a work meeting in which he let a coworker, David Martin, ramble on and on with an idea everyone knew was 'total shit' the moment the man opened his mouth. Richman said that a single glance at the clock made him realize he had just spent 14 minutes of his finite time on earth not playing with his kids or being with his wife, but listening to garbage. 'It was like I stepped out of my body and saw myself actually listening to this man's worthless drivelbut it wasn't him who looked like a moron, it was me,' Richman said. 'I was nodding my head like an asshole and saying ridiculous things like, 'Right,' and, 'I see your point, Dave,' when I should have just said, 'Dave, your idea isn't good and you are wasting our time and you need to shut up right now.'' By his estimates, Richman's receptiveness has resulted in 160 irreplaceable hours of listening to grossly uninformed political opinions, 300 hours of carefully hearing out both sides of pointless arguments, and at least a month of listening to his parents' bullshit about how important it is to be open-minded. Eighty days have been wasted on the inane blather of his college friend Brian alone. 'All those hours I could have been relaxing, or reading all these great books, or getting into shape, or working on side projects that I'm really excited about,' Richman said. 'But instead I've been listening to overrated albums recommended to me by my asshole friends.' 'Did you know that in my life I've listened to five days' worth of people talking about their furniture?' he added. 'It's true. That's a trip to Europe right there.' While Richman has vowed to cease being open-minded to absolute horseshit, acquaintances reflected on his approachability. 'I love Blake,' coworker David Martin said. 'He's such a good listener. A lot of people are closed-minded and self-absorbed, but Blake always makes an effort to hear where I'm coming from. The world could use more people like him.' 
2	Biden Rubs It In Our Faces But Dems REFUSE To Report It Or Even Talk About It... This Is Sick In the final month before the election, the left has latched on to unproven allegations that Donald Trump inappropriately touched women in his past. Theyve expressed outraged at words he spoke 11 years ago. Now, the American public is wondering where this outrage has been when it comes to Vice President Joe Biden. For years, Bidens inappropriate touching of women has caught attention. He is known for invading personal spacean act that has been caught on camera countless times. Of course, liberals are more than happy to brush this under the rug. This is true, hypocrisy folks, and something we can only expect more of if Hillary Clinton is elected president.

The alarm clock, developed by Metuchen-based Integrated Products, uses a flashing strobe light to wake hearing-impaired sleepers, rendering obsolete previous models utilizing a mechanical arm to pound the sleeper's cranium with a ball-peen hammer. 'Rise and shine in an delightfully new, painless way,' trumpets the brochure for the Sentinel 450, expected to hit store shelves in early January. 'Now you can be on time for work without all the debilitating concussions, cranial fractures and costly reconstructive facial surgery.' 
3	Multivitamin Hitpieces - A Natural Health False Flag?Heather Callaghan Chances are, youve recently been barraged by not-so-subtle headlines attacking multivitamins. The mainstream articles were very loosely and poorly based on three simultaneous and ridiculously flawed studies. If anyone bothers to read the studies, they might find that they are simply a vehicle for an attack an attack so gratuitous and heavy handed to make one wonder about their MO. But the real attack on multivitamins stems from a mere editorial cited by a media regurgitating the words case closed, we dont need multivitamins, evidence mounting [against multivitamins], enough is enough and projections like the vitamin industrial complex. Oh, so the gavel has been slammedGod forbid someone have their own preference about a consumer product. But who is actually saying this and by whom are they funded? Brandon Turbeville writes of one of the three studies: Interestingly enough, this study was not only funded by the National Institutes of Health but also by DSM Nutritional Products, Pfizer, and BASF. Pfizer and BASF, two multinational pharmaceutical manufacturers are widely known as organizations that are hostile toward the sale and manufacture of nutritional products as well as corporations that would stand to gain by an increase in poor health and medical treatment. DSM Nutritional Products, while lesser known, is a multinational chemical company that also manufactures nutritional supplements of thesynthetic variety. DSM is a corporate colleague of Cargill and has worked closely with the UN-based World Food Programme. The carrier articles like to claim that the multivitamin industry runs up to $28 billion annually well, so what? First, that means theres an interest and consumer demand. Secondly, it sounds like people dont feel like theyre getting enough nutrition no matter how many times they are told to follow failing, pathetic dietary guidelines. And the Western modern medical complex trumps the multivitamin sales by a whopping $2 trillion annually! So it looks like they would have a vested interest in keeping you there even if pharmaceuticals kill about 100,000 people each year. What harm have wholesome vitamins and minerals done again? When is more nutrition a bad thing? Furthermore: There are also a few shill-type doctor mouthpieces supporting calls to constantly reduce the perceived amount of nutrients needed they just keep lowering the levels. I remember going down a maddening rabbit hole two years ago involving a doctor claiming vitamin D was toxic and telling people to take barely noticeable levels he had ties to Big Pharma and was involved with a pharmaceutical company to create doctor-prescribed synthetic vitamin D. Hopefully, you have access to highly bioavailable or whole food based supplements hang on to them. They might go the path of the incandescent light bulbs soon if directives under Codex Alimentarius continue this way in America. But why say false flag in terms of natural health? Because weve been down this road before This hit piece could be more than just a Christmas sale for a medical industrial complex trying to deter people from healthy goals outside of modern treatments. It could be the preparation to sneak more global health rules on a people largely unaware. It would be interesting to see if the vitamin/supplement industry takes a hit for this media campaign. And which side of it really suffers: the toxic fake Big Pharma vitamins, or real and valuable vitamins/minerals/supplements that are helping people. On the other hand, our good vitamins and supplements could very well be going straight to the toilet if we arent set up to digest them. Stay tuned, Ill be writing about how to make sure that doesnt happen! Also See: Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist.

3	75 Percent of Americans Perceive Widespread Corruption in GovtBy Justin Gardner This comes at a time when a new Gallup poll shows that 3 in 4 Americans perceive widespread corruption in government. According to Gallup: While the numbers have fluctuated slightly since 2007, the trend has been largely stable since 2010. However, the percentage of U.S. adults who see corruption as pervasive has never been less than a majority in the past decade, which has had no shortage of controversies from the U.S. Justice Departments firings of U.S. attorneys to the IRS scandal. Americans now have another scandal to add to their long list of reasons to distrust Uncle Sam. The shenanigans of the Census Hiring and Employment Check (CHEC) office characterize how many government employees view their job. Taxpayer money is an endless river and it doesnt matter if you steal from it by lying and cheating. The boss is not concerned because its not his company; its just a leviathan. More than half of the CHEC employees reported hours that they never worked, with one of them misreporting 160 full work days that costed $64,600. A higher-ranking employee claimed 890 non-existent work hours, billing taxpayers $85,170. The lost time and attendance amount to over $1 million in theft of taxpayer money. At least one employee abused his position to hire friends and gain sexual favors. These bureaucrats felt so bold about their actions that they threatened anyone who reported misconduct. One of the employees who falsified timesheets made a stabbing motion while cutting cake at an office party, saying, This is for who went to the OIG. John Thompson, the director of the Census Bureau, is apparently outraged and said he would pursue legal action to reimburse taxpayers. Any employees who allegedly falsified timesheets and betrayed the trust of the American public will be held personally accountable to the fullest extent of the law, including possible termination. How on earth are they facing only possible termination? They were caught defrauding the very people who employ them through committing theft. They should not only have been fired immediately, but they should be rotting in a jail cell. However, there does not appear to be any interest in pursuing justice or even getting rid of the bad actors. The U.S. Attorneys Office has already declined to prosecute the case, and the thieving employees are still on the job at CHEC. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com 
2	HouseA couple in South Carolina were responding to a Craigslist ad and traveling down to buy a car. They met up with two black men, and when they arrived, the thugs pulled out a pistol and tried to rob them. When the thug pointed his gun at the man, the wife pulled out a pistol from her purse and shot him. He died on the scene. The other thug was able to get away. The police are currently searching for him with the help of the couple. Thank goodness this woman was armed. The couple could have been seriously hurt, and the armed thug would still be on the streets causing chaos. Is this woman a hero for having a gun and the courage to use it? 
1	Expressing a reaction similar to millions of other dismayed Americans, Newt Gingrich admitted Monday that he too was feeling 'pretty bummed out' about the prospect of a Newt Gingrich presidential campaign. Gingrich calls talk of a Newt Gingrich presidential campaign 'pathetic, frankly.' While confirming his ardent desire to be president, the former Speaker of the House told reporters the mere fact that American voters were seriously considering Newt Gingrich to be a viable Republican candidate in 2012 was a fairly distressing development that made him question the direction the country was moving in. 'Even when I see my name on a list of potential candidates, I think, you gotta be kidding meNewt Gingrich?' said Gingrich, frowning and shaking his head in disbelief. 'People are actually getting excited about the guy who engineered the 1995 government shutdown? I'm sorry, but that's just sad.' 'It's 2011, for God's sake,' Gingrich added. 'Can't we get a fresher name to represent the Republican Party in the 21st century than Newt Gingrich?' Though he acknowledged a Gingrich candidacy would definitely fire up certain segments of the conservative base, and likely build up a fair amount of momentum on name- recognition alone, Gingrich said that knowing we lived in a world where these kinds of political realities existed at all was a rather grim and sobering thought. The former House Speaker says this is just about the last thing Americans need to see on their TV screens. In addition, the retired Georgia representative expressed a sense of deep disappointment that people actually seemed this willing to throw their support behind a past-his-prime reactionary with an anti-everything stance and a history of marital infidelity. 'Hell, look at me: I'm a public relations nightmare,' said Gingrich, adding that, for many years in the late '90s and early 2000s, his name was basically a punch line. 'Remember that whole thing with me divorcing my wife while she was still in the hospital recovering from cancer? For my campaign's sake, I hope people have forgotten about that. But c'mon, it's a pretty bleak political landscape when the presidential campaign of a known philanderer is actually getting off the ground.' While Gingrich maintained that he does indeed want to win the presidency, he said that actually deciding to form a presidential exploratory committee and working on a campaign strategy for the election of Newt Gingrich made him slightly sick to his stomach. Contemplating dozens of dreary appearances at political rallies in early primary states such as Iowa and New Hampshire, Gingrich told reporters that he could already feel his soul 'dying a little inside' every time he thought of going out there and delivering overly rehearsed speeches about the burden on American taxpayers, Obamacare, and his national security qualifications. Gingrich also claimed he was dreading the inevitable prospect of Newt Gingrich launching pointed yet patently unfair attacks on Obama's lack of clear leadership in the economic crisis, while simultaneously having to repeat some stupid campaign slogan like 'Taking Back America's Future' over and over until he was completely sick of 'everything coming out of Newt Gingrich's fat face.' 'Oh, God, I don't even want to think about all the awful things I'm going to have to say,' said Gingrich, adding that he cringed when imagining the 'unbelievably phony' patriotic rhetoric that he would likely be uttering constantly. 'All those empty promises and misinformed statements used to mask a selfish agenda or stir up people's fears. I already want me to just shut the fuck up.' 'To be fair, I guess it's possible that I'll force some of the younger candidates to step up their game and once again generate some real interest in the core values of the Republican Party, butugh, who am I kidding?' Gingrich continued. 'I'm the worst.' Mark Kebler, campaign strategist and loyal aide to Gingrich for the past 20 years, strongly agreed that a Newt Gingrich presidential run 'would be some really depressing shit, for sure.' 'Interestingly enough, it's not just about Newt's slim chances, polarizing character, irritating voice, or lack of charisma,' Kebler said. 'When you get right down to it, Newt Gingrich just kind of sucks. When I tell people I work for him, they give me this look, and I'm just like, 'Yeah, yeah, believe me, I know.'' Even winning the Republican nomination would be 'a downer,' Gingrich said, since he would then have to select a running mate every bit as lame as he is, such as Tim Pawlenty or Michele Bachmann. Like much of the voting public, Gingrich also expressed concerns about an unlikely yet disturbing scenario, one that ends with Newt Gingrich in the Oval Office. 'What if I win? Do I really want to live in a country where I'm president?' Gingrich said. 'Obviously, yes, but it doesn't mean I should be.' 
1	Citing a responsibility to honor coworkers lost on Sept. 11, 2001, Continental Sports Channel managing editor and former Sports Night executive producer Dana Whitaker announced that a memorial service would be held Sunday near the shows former World Trade Center office. When the first plane hit, instantly killing Dan [Rydell] and Casey [McCall], the show and our lives changed forever, said Whitaker, adding that the memorial would especially be cathartic for the shows current executive producer, Natalie Hurley-Goodwin, who lost her husband Jeremy when the studios editing bay was engulfed in flames. So many members of the CSC family are now gone: the entire crew; [CSC ratings adviser] Sam [Donovan], who was actually on one of the planes; and Sally Sasser who, even though she wanted my job and slept with Casey, did put on a very polished West Coast Update. And poor Isaac. With the complications he was suffering as a result of his stroke, he never had a chance of making it out. Whitaker added that she is still having trouble finding the right balance between her personal and professional life.

So, this is the whole gangStephen, Alice, Robbie, Kath, and, well, everyone else, said Landgraf, acquainting his mother and father with 18 people who despise the sound of his voice, exclude him from social gatherings, and regularly duck into conference rooms to vent to each other about how much he pisses them off. Im glad you finally got to meet these guys. I guess now you can put the names with the faces! At press time, sources said Landgraf was unable to find his parents, who were busy amusing a group of their sons colleagues with stories of how much of a little asshole he was as a kid.

'I'd like to give a special shout-out to Mr. Rove, for helping me beat [incumbent president] Luis Mendes,' Paul Wenger said in his victory speech. 'Thanks to him, I was totally able to expose Luis' idea of using candy funds to buy uniforms for needy students. As your president, I'll make sure that that money goes back into the school, where it belongsand into the biggest pizza party that McAllen East has ever seen.' Rove denied any involvement in the election. 
3	Open War Policy Revealed by Romneys NeoCon AdvisersBrandon Turbeville Essentially, while Obama has continued and accelerated every disastrous policy of the Bush Administration, Romney has openly announced his intention to do the same. The only difference is that the Romney doctrine will supplant the deceitful, secretive, and treacherous nature of Obamas foreign policy for a more ham-fisted and brazenly aggressive position. In his speech, Romney stated, If America does not lead, others will, others who do not share our interests and our values and the world will grow darker, for our friends and for us. I am running for president because I believe the leader of the free world has a duty, to our citizens, and to our friends everywhere, to use Americas great influence wisely, with solemnity and without false pride, but also firmly and actively to shape events in ways that secure our interests, further our values, prevent conflict and make the world better not perfect, but better. In this regard, Romney could scarcely be more clear (a rarity) as to what plans he holds for the United States military should he be elected. For instance, he stated, It is the responsibility of our president to use Americas great power to shape history not to lead from behind, leaving our destiny at the mercy of events. Unfortunately, that is exactly where we find ourselves in the Middle East under President Obama. Aside from the obvious falsity of Romneys political jockeying regarding where we find ourselves in the Middle East, the Republican candidates statement seems to offer a brief representation of yet more American Exceptionalism, an even more warped version of Manifest Destiny, and the Freemasonic doctrine of directing nature and controlling the Force of the people. Of course, the United States is no passive player in the Middle East under Barack Obama. Indeed, even the casual observer should be aware that the United States, along with other Anglo-American NATO powers has directed and controlled the Arab Spring and destabilization of Middle Eastern countries. However, because of the Obama Administrations penchant for leading from behind and directing the overthrow of sovereign governments via intelligence networks, pawning, destabilization efforts, or coalition-based kinetic military action, the talking heads on the Conservative Right are able to play upon the wasteland of the average American mind and subsequently propagandize that the Obama/Brzezinski method exemplifies weakness. The Neo-Con method, being more upfront, aggressive, and direct is unfortunately the only presentation simple enough to capture the average American attention span and is understood as strength. Thus, the Romney campaign does not criticize the Obama Administration for waging wars against Islam, sovereign nations, state-owned banks, or secular governments its criticisms are that it does not do so in a faster, more aggressive manner. A perfect example of both the political posturing and of the identical nature of both candidates and their respective parties can easily be seen in terms of the Syrian destabilization, itself directed by the Anglo-American, NATO forces in order to weaken and provoke the Iranians and the Russians, implement a system of privatized central banks, exploit the people and resources of Syria, and ignite the subsequent third world war that must inevitably follow. In this regard, Romney firmly stated in Virginia that he will arm al-Qaeda forces operating inside Syria and will help them to obtain the arms they need to defeat Assads tanks, helicopters and fighter jets. Of course, Obama is already arming the Syrian terrorists, but the vast majority of Americans are completely oblivious to this fact (as they are to the fact that the rebels are actually fanatic terrorists) so the issue exists as a prime opportunity for political grandstanding. Of course, no Romney foreign policy speech would be complete without some measure of beating the drums for war against Iran. Needless to say, the Virginia Military Institute foreign policy speech was complete. In regards to Iran, Romney stated, we must make clear to Iran through actions not just words that their nuclear pursuit will not be tolerated. He also committed to tighten sanctions and restore the permanent presence of aircraft carrier task forces in both the Eastern Mediterranean and the Gulf region. Romney said he would allow no daylight between the United States and Israel. Like the references to war with Iran, it appears that no Romney speech will be complete without reference to the relationship between Israel and the United States and how American foreign policy might be outsourced to the colonial state of Israel. While many Americans are still caught in the trap of voting for one of the two political parties (which are only different branches of the same tree), more and more are becoming aware of the fact that Presidents and Presidential candidates are nothing more than puppets and tools. To suggest that these hapless and damaged individuals hold any true sway over the direction of the country in real life, regardless of their potential to do so, would be optimistic to say the least. With this in mind, it is important to take a look at those individuals doing some of the legwork for the foreign policy presented through the two-sided mouth of Mitt Romney. Indeed, it is particularly revelatory that many of Romneys advisers are not only members of organizations like the Council on Foreign Relations but also of Neo-Con think tanks like the Project for A New American Century[1] of 9/11 fame. Specifically, Romney Foreign Policy advisers such as Eliot Cohen, Robert Kagan, John Lehman, Vin Weber, and top adviser Dov Zakheim are all members of PNAC. Thus, with so many direct connections to an organization like PNAC (among many others), it is much more clear as to why the Romney rhetoric sounds so familiar to what we heard for eight years under the Bush Administration. Nevertheless, as I wrote in my article Romneys Foreign Policy Advisers Exposed As Globalists, Considering Romneys attendance at the 2012 Bilderberg meeting and the apparent tendency of the elite in leaning to Romney as the next president, it is imperative that those who are aware of the forces truly guiding the United States and the rest of the world be prepared to shift gears, even if it is only temporary, and begin to expose Mitt Romney as the criminal globalist that he is. Still, we must guard against being played like a tennis ball and rushing back into the arms of Bush on steroids Barack Obama. Unless we become significantly more streetwise than the general public has been in the past, the condition of the world will only continue to degenerate with every election, regardless of the results. Below is a list of Mitt Romneys foreign policy advisers complete with lists to many, but not all, of their groups, organizations, and affiliations that should be the focus of much concern.

2	Obama Just Realized His Worst Nightmare After Israel Resolution Throughout his presidency, Barack Obama has done everything he can to destroy our relationship with Israel. On Friday of last week, he took matters to a new level when he allowed the United Nations to condemn the West Bank settlers by refusing to veto the measure. Now, this is coming back to bite Obama in a major way. According to The Gateway Pundit, Secretary of State John Kerry delivered a speech on Wednesday, attempting to explain Obamas position of the vote. Kerry claimed that we were not the driving force behind the resolution. We reject the notion the US was behind the UN resolution, Kerry commented. Of course, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not having any of it. He responded to Kerrys speech by claiming he has evidence Obama is lying. He commented: We have it on absolute incontestable evidence that the United States organized, advanced and brought this resolution to the United Nations Security Council. We will share that information with the incoming administration; some of it is sensitive, its all true; you saw some of it in the protocol release in the Egyptian papertheres plenty more, thats just the tip of the iceberg. These reports come after an Egyptian newspaper published the transcript of meetings between top US and Palestinian officials, proving Obama was behind the measures passing. What do you think? Are you tired of Obama lying to the American public? 
2	Michelle Obama Just Received Devastating News During The Holidays Even after Americans expressed their outrage about their extravagant lifestyle, the Obamas traveled to Hawaii this year to celebrate their annual Christmas vacation.Throughout Barack Obamas two terms as president, he has pretended to identify with the struggles Americans are facing every day to make ends meet. Meanwhile, his family been spending millions of tax dollars on lavish vacations for the family. According to Judicial Watch, the Obamas spent $4,823,206.88 on their familys 2015 trip to Hawaii. In fact, the first family has made the trip for Christmas every year of his presidency, costing taxpayers a whopping $85,029,819. Their current vacation began in mid-December, and will run through January 3, 2016but Secret Service agents have rented various homes for 19 days, beginning December 16. The total for the rental this year was $245,993.12 for rooms near the Marine Corps base at Kaneohe Bay. They also spent money on rooms at the Moana Surfrider resort on Waikiki Beach and the Ala Moana Hotel, which cost a total of $40,249.28 and $671,895.99, respectively. The family also dined out at the islands most expensive restaurants, including: On Sunday, December 20, the Obamas had dinner at Morimoto, a celebrity chef-owned Asian-fusion restaurant, The Secret Service and the Air Force are being abused by unnecessary travel, Judicial Watch president, Tom Fitton, argued. Unnecessary presidential travel for fundraising and luxury vacations on the taxpayers dime would be a good target for reform for the incoming Trump administration. What do you think? Is this type of spending absolutely unacceptable? 
1	Huli tribesman Olene, 32, expressed annoyance Tuesday after being 'guilt-tripped' into agreeing to attend his friend Gumaiba's boundary dance. Olene. 'This is the last thing I need tonight,' said Olene. 'I had a really bad day. I'm beat from a long day of hunting, and I broke my favorite hongoia bone knife. All I want to do is kick back at home, maybe craft myself a new knife. Instead, I have to go out to Gumaiba's boundary dance. What a drag.' The boundary dance is a traditional ceremony performed by Huli tribesmen to mark the territory owned by their hamigini emene, or sub-clan. Gumaiba, 30, first invited Olene to the event last week, when he handed his friend a hand-painted, bark invitation. According to Olene, Gumaiba has reminded him of the dance several times since then. 'I certainly hadn't forgotten about the dance, although I tried to act like I had,' Olene said. 'I was trying to avoid [Gumaiba], but then he cornered me at Wabe's mourning feast. Gumaiba said he'd been working on a new reed skirt all week, and it was really coming together. He said the show was going to be totally different from the others.' Olene said Gumaiba then used guilt to coerce him into attending the boundary dance. 'Gum mentioned the time this dandaji warrior was pissed because he thought that I had slept with one of his wives,' Olene said. 'Gum brought up how he gave one of his own pigs to the guy to get me out of the bind. I've always been grateful to him for that, but using it to get me to come to his singsing seemed pretty low.' Members of the same clan, Olene and Gumaiba have known each other since childhood. 'Gumaiba and I go way back,' Olene said. 'We're not close-close, but we always run into each other at the shrine. He's a good guy.' Olene has attended three of Gumaiba's boundary dances in the past. 'It's usually an okay time,' Olene said. 'Gum always has good tobacco, and it's pretty funny to watch him pick up on the village wali after the show.' 'It's just, look, he's not a very good boundary dancer,' Olene said. 'It's sort of painful, as a friend, for me to sit through it. The worst part is talking to him after the dance. I hate to lie, lest the ghosts of the dead strike me down. But I can't tell him the truth, either.' Gumaiba began performing boundary dances two years ago. Olene acknowledged that his friend has improved his presentation in recent months, by adding more plumage to his manda wig and by obtaining an impressive array of pajabu cordyline leaves for his buttocks. Olene maintained, however, that no costume alterations will help Gumaiba's poor dancing. Gumaiba (far right) attempts to keep up with more talented performers at a March boundary dance. 'If Gumaiba thinks he's protecting his space with that ritual, he's kidding himself,' Olene said. 'I was at his first two, and that put me in the clear to miss some for a while. But I knew it would be hard to dodge this one, because I've skipped his past three.' Olene told Gumaiba he wanted to make the dance, but that he didn't have a gift to bestow upon those hosting it. 'Gumaiba said he would list me among his family members, so I didn't have to worry,' Olene said. 'I said that I didn't have anything to barter for food and drink. He said, 'Come on, Olene, I'll get you a sweet potato if you come.'' Olene quickly realized that he had run out of excuses and told Gumaiba he would be at the show. 'I thought that maybe I could still get out of it,' Olene said. 'But when Gumaiba dropped by my hut last night, he had that desperate look in his eye. I knew he wasn't there to shoot the breeze about the heavy rains the dama was throwing our way. He made some small talk about the homogo's newest wives, but sure enough, after a couple minutes, he brought up his sacred boundary dance.' 'That's when he really laid it on thick, telling me that tonight was really important to him,' Olene said. 'He said he needed lots of people to show up to see him, or he'd lose his spot in the next dance. I was considering consulting the wisdom of the homogo for more excuses, but really there's no use. I don't think there's any way to back out now.' In spite of his trepidation, Olene said he will attend with a positive attitude. 'It might not be so bad,' Olene said. 'Like I said, Gumaiba is a really nice guy. And he plays a pretty good gw. Once, when he was jamming on it, he got the whole village dancing. I don't know why he doesn't just stick to the gw. For some reason, he's gotta think he's some sort of boundary dancer, too.' Resigned to attending the dance, Olene said his new goal is to get back to his hut at a reasonable hour. 'If I work it right, I might be able to get home before the moon passes behind the tall tree,' Olene said. 'I just have to put in an appearance and let him know that I'm there. Once Gumaiba gets into his groove, I should be able to duck out without him noticing.' 
2	Duck Dynasty Star Willie Robertson Just Revealed Who He Will Be Voting For In 2016 Election Recently, Duck Dynasty star Willie Robertson announced that he will be supporting Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal in the 2016 presidential election. Robertson is known for being a Christian conservative, who is not afraid to speak out about what he believes in. The announcement is not shocking except for the fact that Gov. Jindal has not announced his intention to run yet. Jindal is best known for advocating for an Article V convention of the states to propose new amendments to the Constitution. Bobby is a great man, Robertson told Fox News Radio. Hes a godly manIf he chooses to go on, I know the values he has. Im the kind of guy where I really like smart peopleand that guy is one of the smartest guys I have ever met in my life. Hes just smart. Hes run things. Hes got the values. What do you think? Would you join Robertson in voting for Jindal? 
2	BREAKING: Michelle Obama May Run With Hillary Clinton In 2016 According to First Lady Michelle Obama, a woman needs to be made president as soon as possible. The statement, which was made during an interview with ABCs Robin Roberts, has many wondering whether Michelle was actually endorsing herself or Hillary. According to reports, Roberts asked the First Lady when she thought a woman should be elected as president. That should happen as soon as possible, Michelle said to the crowd, who met the statement with applause. And I think this country is ready for anyone who can do the job. What we have learned is that the person who can do the job doesnt have a particular race or gender or background or socioeconomic status. The person who should do the job is the person who is the most qualified, and I think we have some options, dont we? The statement only leaves questions as to whether or not Hillary and Michelle are working together for the 2016 election. Although she did not come out and endorse Hillary, it definitely left the audience wondering. 
3	Senate Approves Alliance of Government and Drug CorporationsSusanne Posel, Contributor Drug manufacturers like Eli Lily Co, Pfizer Inc, AstraZeneca Plc, and Medtronic Inc will provide regulatory reviews of new medical treatments and healthcare devices. The FDASI extends through to 2017. The FDASI allocates use fees to the FDA as payment for safety and efficiency reviews. The House of Representatives are scheduled to vote on the FDASI next week. And it is anticipated that the bill will be signed into law by Obama in early fall. The FDASI is part of Obamas program to use the US government and drug makers together to discover new ways to use old drugs; as well as find new pharmaceutical answers to new diseases. The focus of this collaboration will identify new uses for drugs that have already been approved by FDA. There may be need for new human trials, putting the general public at a health risk. Engaging in experimental trials to classify specific compounds to be utilized for unintended purposes is highly dangerous. Drug manufacturers and medical device makers are anxious to work with the US government. This will mean their treatments will be reviewed and approved faster than they currently are. The FDASI specifies that certain measures be taken to expedite the approval of medical treatments under the guise of life-threatening or rush monitoring devices to mitigate drug shortages. Senators Tom Harkin and Mike Enzi believe that the FDASI reflects a kind of cooperation that we see all too rarely in Washington, referring to the newfound relationship between the pharmaceutical industry and the US government. The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, signed by President Obama in 2010 allowed generic companies to manufacture complex biologic drugs. These companies paid a fee to the FDA, funding their own right to further manipulate the medical industry without regard for public safety. Senators Michael Bennet and Richard Burr would have the American public believe that FDASI will give the FDA more authority to police drugs from manufacturing to distribution to pharmacies. However, that is exactly the responsibility of the FDA as a regulatory agency designed to ensure public health and safety. Why would Congress have to give the FDA authority to do its job? Of course, FDASI benefits the drug corporations by forming a financial relationship with the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America and the US government. Lobbyist groups for corporations like Pfizer Inc have been pressuring Congress to support their over-reaching endeavors. Senator John McCain voted against the FDASI, wanting to empower foreign drug manufacturers from Canada by importing their drugs to America. McCain said: Somebody tell me why we cant tell the struggling family they can use their own money to purchase safe drugs from a Canadian pharmacy at sometimes 50 percent less. The pharmaceutical companies have designated over $80 billion over 10 years to support Obamas new health regulations and protection against the allowance of importation. Since the drug makers are willing to line Obamas pockets, they get to decide how the language and allowances of US laws. Johnson and Johnson was given permission to distribute their drug Doxil after the FDA allowed unapproved drugs from India to be used to replenish drugs in short supply in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The FDA admits to importing foreign drugs (that are not regulated or do not fit standards in America) when pharmaceuticals are in short supply in the US. The FDASI also requires dietary supplement makers register their products with the FDA; including a list of ingredients. Currently, the vitamin industries, by order of the Codex Alimentarius (CA) are being attacked by the US government to justify the forced outlawing of natural medicine. The CA is a creation of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The CA seeks to enforce international standards and codes on nations. By controlling the means of medicine production, transportation and distribution, the CA will ensure the standards set forth by the UN are the basis for all national legislation. Obama signed Executive Order (EO), Establishing the National Prevention, Health Promotion and Public Health Council in 2010. Through this EO, Obama empowered the CA to enact the UNs plan for global governance over healthcare standards. The National Prevention, Health Promotion, and Public Health Council was created to assist Obama in destroying the alternative health industry by order of the UN. While the Obama administration seeks to wipe out the natural medicine industry, the US government is pouring money and resources into the genetic engineering of pharmaceuticals to combat disease. When natural remedies are completely outlawed, the general public will be forced to take drugs rather than heal naturally through diet and vitamins. The medical agenda is clear. The relationship created between the US government and the drug corporations has laid the foundation for medical tyranny. Susanne Posel is the Chief Editor of Occupy Corporatism.

3	Russian Agent: Who Gave US Uranium To Putin, Trump Or Hillary?By Jon Rappoport Now that we know Trump is a hard-core Russian agent who has been undermining America on behalf of his secret twin brother, Vladimir Putin, it stands to reason Trump was the one who gave 20% of US uranium to the Russkie leader. Right? I mean, why wouldnt he? All that uranium was up for grabs, it was there, and Trump somehow engineered the deal. Im shocked the Washington Post and its CIA pals havent reported the story by now. Anybody who passed that much US uranium to our eternal enemy, Russia, would have to be a secret agent working undercover for the Kremlin. No doubt about it. Therefore, Trump Oh, wait a minute, my mistake. Oops. The Clintons were instrumental in making the uranium deal. For proof, let me go to the irrefutable authority on all news in the known galaxy, The New York Times. Theyll settle the issue. On April 23, 2015, the NY Times ran a story under the headline: Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal. The bare bones of the story: a Canadian company called Uranium One controlled a great deal of uranium production in the US. The company was sold to Russia (meaning Putin and his minions). So Putin then possessed 20% of US uranium production! From the Times: the sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States. From the Times: The [Pravda] article, in January 2013, detailed how the Russian atomic energy agency, Rosatom, had taken over a Canadian company [Uranium One] with uranium-mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the American West. The deal made Rosatom one of the worlds largest uranium producers and brought Mr. Putin closer to his goal of controlling much of the global uranium supply chain. But the untold story behind that story is one that involves not just the Russian president, but also a former American president and a woman who would like to be the next one. At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian mining industry, who have been major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President Bill Clinton and his family. Members of that [Canadian] group built, financed and eventually sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as Uranium One. [Uranium One controlled 20% of US uranium.] Frank Giustraa mining financier, has donated $31.3 million to the foundation run by former President Bill Clinton Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal [to sell Uranium One to Putin] had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. Among the agencies that eventually signed off was the State Department, then headed by Mr. Clintons wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton. As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium Ones chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well. And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock. At the time, both Rosatom [the Russian energy agency] and the United States government made promises intended to ease concerns about ceding control of the companys assets to the Russians. Those promises have been repeatedly broken, records show. the episode underscores the special ethical challenges presented by the Clinton Foundation, headed by a former president who relied heavily on foreign cash to accumulate $250 million in assets even as his wife helped steer American foreign policy as secretary of state, presiding over decisions with the potential to benefit the foundations donors. The US State Dept. had to sign off on the deal giving Putin control over US uranium. Hillary headed up the State Dept. Much money from Canadian mining executives, who owned the American uranium, who obviously wanted the Russian deal to go through, found its way into the Clinton Foundation. The Foundation concealed these donations. If youre Putin and youre sitting in Moscow, and the uranium deal has just dropped this bonanza into your lap, whats your reactionafter you stop laughing and popping champagne corks? Or maybe you never really stop laughing. Maybe this is a joke that keeps on giving. You wake up in the middle of the night with a big grin plastered on your face, and you cant figure out whyand then you remember, oh yes, the uranium deal. The US uranium. Can we give our girl Hillary a medal? Can we put up a statue of her in a park? Does Bill need any more hookers? So there it is. By all standards of current mainstream news logic, Hillary Clinton is the Russian agent. She and her crooked husband and their Foundation are working for Mr. Putin. Therefore, Putin didnt order the hacking of the DNC, Hillary, and Podesta emails and send them to WikiLeaks. No. He never would have torpedoed his own secret agent, Hillary Clinton. Again, Im just applying mainstream news logic to see where that reasoning process goes; and where it goes is: a) the Russians didnt hack; and b) Hillary Clinton is their secret agent. Cue the James Bond theme. Ask yourself: if Trump had been instrumental in turning over 20% of US uranium to Putin, how many decibels of mainstream-news screaming would be assaulting the public day after day after day? But Hillary and Bill were instrumental. How much screaming do we hear now? Zero. (To read about Jons mega-collection, Exit From The Matrix, click here.)

I pray that the Justice Department will be scrubbed clean then do investigation on these criminals. THE USA has become a Banana Republic in the last 20-30 years and no longer is a nation of LAWS. We are a nation held hostage by the elite. The internet is the backbone of whats left of free speech and said to be worth trillions in data collection, yet Oreo began the transfer of control to the UN via ICANN effective October 1st. If hacking is such a big national security threat why did he do it? ..Why did Bill Clinton give Iran plans advancing its nuclear weapons program under Operation Merlin? Same reason Kissinger as Sec of State transferred advanced classified US missile technology to the USSR to close a gap.Hillary as Sec of State recently procured a similar tech transfer to Russias Skolkovo. Its the same Kabuki Bizarro world B.S. mind job that happened after 9/11 when Bush refused guard the US southern border despite a supposed threat from terrorists with suitcase nukes and an ongoing war on drugs.instead prosecuting US Border Patrol agents who tried to apprehend a Mexican drug dealer. Its a bizarre surreal macabre Fellini flick / Theater of the Absurdall run below or above the unwitting publics compartmentalized Matrix program they operate with the awareness of the BIG Pic they themselves have choreographedso they see it easilyyet its overall machinations still elude the general public that are still inside Platos Cave watching the shadows on their big screen TVs Great catch some telepathy, Eddysachs! I was contemplating a final sentence about plebs agog and entranced at the unreality show on their TVs then changed my mind. Thanks. Everything we are today stems from the 1960s Hippy philosophy of Better Red than Dead they never grew up The bottom line is it doesnt matter which of these two globalist liars did what, they both are working for the same principality for the same outcome, albeit via different methods with their pretended positions. Trump and Hillary are interchangeable clowns on a stage bent on hiding the punch line from us. Left wing, right wing, again, both on the same old dirty bird. Blah, blah, blah. TRUMP is working for the America people. Alone, he has saved/started 1.2 million jobs and he is not even sworn in as president as of this writing. Your old hag lying Hillary sold out to the Russians and she did NOT disclose it legally. Hilly Billy both needs to answer for her high crimes and be tried like any other citizen. Re-read the article one more time. TRUMP had nothing to do with Russians in any way whatsoever. No contracts, no hotels, no loans. I dont have an old hag called lying Hillary so I have no idea where youre coming from. And its funny you tell me to read the article when your response reads like you never even read my post. Theyre BOTH globalists, theyre friends, they work for the same corporation, and theyre even related. Please look up Hegelian Dialectic and realize Trump is just PLAYING (all the worlds a stage) the part of opposition. Controlled opposition is how they do it (control us all). These monsters control ALL sides of EVERY issue, and unless we all learn this, we are doomed to repeat history over and over and over again. Every 8 years people are imbued with fake hope that something will change and it always ONLY gets worse, so why are you doing it again? (rhetorical) rappoport never dissapoints So let me get this straight, Hillary brokers a deal to hand over American land with uranium mines to Putin (with Obamas blessing no less) so that she could make a few mil, be president and then start a war with Russia. 
1	Drawing widespread condemnation from fans and pundits alike, boosters from the University of Alabama Crimson Tide Foundation are facing heavy criticism after it was revealed Friday that the organization fully funded head football coach Nick Sabans sex reassignment surgery. Were willing to do whatever it takes to keep Coach Saban at Alabama, including covering costs for orchiectomy and penectomy procedures, breast augmentation, and monthly doctor visits throughout the transition process, said Crimson Tide Foundation spokesperson Keith Stokes, responding to public outcry regarding reports that the group bankrolled more than $50,000 in expenses for the four-time national champions ongoing hormonal replacement therapy throughout the past 18 months. We havent broken any NCAA rules, and we have every right to pay for Coach Sabans facial hair removal through electrolysis, as well as cover aesthetic follow-up procedures to make facial features more feminine. Nicole brought us three national titles and has done so much for our school, so we just want to make sure shes happy. Roll tide. The boosters group was reportedly adamant, however, that it had nothing to do with Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffins recent vaginoplasty, explaining that the procedure was included as part of the 39-year-olds severance deal from USC. 
3	Media Matrix: an ancient Tibetan perspective on the evening network newsBy Jon Rappoport For the early Tibetan adepts, the Void was a vital concept. Stripped of its metaphysical baggage and embroidery, Void was the place where creating stopped. The constant noise of existence went away. The ongoing parade of inner thoughts, sentiments, propensitiesvanished. For as long as a person wanted to stay there. And experience the greatest vacation hed ever known. If he could handle it. But humans felt a great need to avoid the Void. They demanded activity, flow, information. They eventually sank to the level of passivityand then they simply wanted input, more input, and still more input. From an authoritative unimpeachable external source. Hence, from the earliest societies onward, there was a thing called: the news. It was updated. It was ongoing. It was forever. Priests delivered it. Kings delivered it. Their minions delivered it. If the news stopped, people felt anxiety, which, at bottom, was a fear of Void. There is much more to say about the Tibetans and their understanding of Void and its twin, ongoing Creation, but Ill save that for another time. Now, in these times, the global population has television news. The imitations of life called anchors are the arbiters. How they speak, how they look, how they themselves experience emotionall this is planted deep in the minds of the viewers. Much of the world cant imagine the evening news could look and sound any other way. Thats how solid the long-term brainwashing is. The elite anchors, from John Daly, in the early days of television, all the way to Lester Holt and Scott Pelley, have set the style. They define the genre. The anchor taps into, and mimics, that part of the audiences psyche that wants smooth delivery of superficial cause and effect. (In the Void, of course, cause and effect dissolve.) The network anchor is the wizard of Is. He keeps explaining what is. Heres something that is, and then over here we have something else that is, and now, just in, a new thing that is. He lays down miles of is-concrete to pave over deeper, uncomfortable truth. Ultimately, he is paving over Void. On air, the anchor is neutral, a castratus, a eunuch. This is a time-honored ancient tradition. The eunuch, by his diminished condition, has the trust of the ruler. He guards the emperors inner sanctum. He acts as a buffer between his master and the people. He applies the royal seal to official documents. All expressed shades of emotion occur and are managed within that persona of the dependable court eunuch. The anchor who can move the closest to the line of being human without actually arriving there is the champion. These days, it was, until his downfall, Brian Williams. The vibrating string between eunuch and human is the frequency that makes an anchor great. Think Cronkite, Chet Huntley, Edward R Murrow. Huntley was a just a touch too masculine, so they teamed him up with David Brinkley, a medium-boiled egg. Brinkley supplied twinkles of comic relief. There are other reasons for voice-neutrality of the anchor. Neutrality conveys a sense of science. We did the experiment in the lab and this is how it turned out. Television news is really all segue all the time. Thats what it comes down to. The word segue, pronounced segway, refers to a transition from one thing to another, a blend. Ed McMahon once referred to Johnny Carson as the prince of blends, because Carson could tell a clunker of a joke, step on it three times, and still move to the next joke without losing his audience. Television news is very serious business. A reporter who cant handle segues is dead in the water. Hes a gross liability. The good anchors can take two stories that have no connection whatsoever and create a sense of smooth transition. Brian Williams could say, The planes were recalled later in the afternoonAnd a man was cut in two in a horrific accident in Idaho todayAnd in Seattle (smile), three people reported seeing turtles falling from the sky. And it works. The segue works. The blends from one story to another seem reasonable somehow. The networks basically have, on a daily basis, radically fragmented stories, and they need an anchor who can do the blends, the segues, and get away with it, to promote the sense of one continuous flow. So the audience doesnt say, This is just an odd collection of surreal moments, this is Salvador Dali on my television screen. The news is all segue all the time. The voice of the anchor is the non-stop blending machine that ties all news stories together. Thats why the elite network stars earn their paychecks. Its often been said of certain actors, He could read from the phone book and youd listen. Well, an elite anchor can hold the viewers mind as he reads a sentence from the phone book, another one from a car-repair manual, a third from a cookbook, and a fourth from a funeral-home brochure. Without stopping. And afterward, the viewer would have no questions. The news is surreal because the stories are mostly fools gold to begin with; and theyre unrelated. Theyre rocks lying around. The anchor picks them up and invents the illusion of One Flowing Stream. This is what the audience wants. The news feels like a story. It feels like unity. It feels like a stage play or a movie. It feels, when all is said and done, good. You cant pull just anyone off the street and have him describe car crashes, murders, storms, threats of war, political squabbles, 300 cats living in a one-room apartment, a new piece of Medicare legislation, genitalia picture tweets, and the dedication of a new library, while keeping the audience in a light trance. Katie Couric couldnt do it. People were waiting for her to break out into an attack of Perky and giggle and cross her legs. Diane Sawyer had her bad nights. She seemed to be affecting somber personal grief as her basic segue-thread. Scott Pelley is competent, but he has his off-moments, too, when hes suddenly sitting like a surgeon ready to signal the anesthesiologist to clamp a mask on your face, before he cuts into your stomach. Whereas, a true and authentic version of the news would go something like this: Well, folks, just now I moved from a tornado in Kansas to the removal of restrictions on condom sales, and Im blending directly into penguins in Antarctica. Im doing Salvador Dali and youre not noticing a thing. The anchor is basically saying to the audience, Im a few feet inside your personal landscape, your mind, feeding you all the turns in the river, and Ill always be herepapering over the Void. Elite anchors invent and maintain certain tones of voice, certain rhythms, certain cadences, certain variations of musical pitch, in order to sustain the sense of continuity. Theyre mechanics of voice. They can know theyre actors on television, but they can believe (in direct contradiction) theyre delivering the truth. Okay, look, the producer says to the veteran actor hes interviewing for the lead, in a billion-dollar production called The News. This may sound strange, but youre going to have to do Normal as its never been done before. Thats what the audience wants. Youve got to come across as very, very smart and very, very Normal. Get it? Pretend youre the brain of every other brain. Youre the conscience of every other conscience. Youre just as walled off from the conspiracy to own every inch of America as Americans are walled off from knowing about it. You know as little as they do. Youre clean, sanitary, loyal as a dog, dumb as fog, but very smart. You spew absolute nonsense every second of your time on stage, but it sounds eminently plausible. You constantly change subjects, and the subjects are in no way related to each other, but you make it all Liquid Flow. Its a joke. But youre serious. And youll get rich. And people, with their inordinate and strange fear of dropping down into the gorgeous silence of Void, will watch and listen. Theyll roll up their sleeves and shoot themselves up with the news every night. Heres a parting tidbit: The early Tibetans, with their stout, strong, and implacable techniques and exercises, were artists of reality. They were saying, If you practice inventing reality to the hilt, with great intensity, and then practice not inventing it, youll grasp the twin pillars of this existence. Youll become immune to fear of the Void. Youll recognize bullshit, on both the daily and cosmic levels, as youve never known them before. As a side effect, youll be able to analyze information with a keener gaze than you imagined was possible. Or you can have the network evening news.

1	LEXINGTON, KYTy Crandon and Wesley Sandino realized Tuesday that they haven't seen roommate Joel Kramer in, like, five days. 'Dude, have you seen Joel?' Crandon asked Sandino as the two sorted the mail. 'No? Shit. His door is closed, but I knocked and there was no answer. I don't think I've seen him since, like, Thursday.' Sandino and Crandon said they figure he's been staying at girlfriend Nora Krause's or something, and they hope he's all right. 
1	Despite having just completed a brief, wholly satisfactory down-tempo song-and-dance number followed by a brief pause that led many to believe he had completed all singing and dancing, tuxedoed entertainer Rick Werner, 29, made it clear Tuesday that he was just getting started. After being tossed a top hat and cane by an unidentified offstage associate, Werner performed high kicks in time to three brassy, ascending notes as a large curtain rose behind him to reveal approximately four dozen identically dressed performers. 'Hey, now that's the stuff,' Werner said as he stepped sideways across the stage making tight, circular motions with flat-palmed hands. 'Cha.' At press time, dazzled sources had not yet confirmed whether the stage was retracting to reveal a pool full of synchronized swimmers. 
2	BREAKING: Tony Stewart Going To Trial As Damning New Evidence Comes To Light The debate on whether Tony Stewart is guilty or innocent in the death of fellow driver Kevin Ward Jr. rages on, and it appears that the case is far from being solved. After analyzing the evidencing in the case, the Ontario County Prosecutors Office has made an announcement that they will be presenting their findings to a Grand Jury. District Attorney Michael Tantillo broke the news, explaining that the case was going to the Grand Jury in the near future. It is illegal to discuss when the jury would be set to convene. Now, Stewart has come forward with the following statement: I respect the time and effort spent by both the Ontario County District Attorney and the sheriffs office in investigating this tragic accident. I look forward to this process being completed, and I will continue to provide my full cooperation. Police are now announcing the conclusion of their investigation, after announcing that they have another two or three videos of cell phone footage. Apparently, something in the footage has inspired the Prosecutor to seek the opinion of a jury. Time will tell what the thing the DA is referring to is. What do you think? Is Stewart innocent or guilty? 
1	Bracing themselves for what they know will be a long and arduous week, millions of Americans across the nation expressed their frustration Tuesday as they prepared to be continuously inundated with photos of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady lifting the Super Bowl trophy. Well, this is gonna suck, Omaha, NE resident Paul Webb said before opening his web browser, explaining that as soon as he opens any given sports website, he will inevitably be met with a giant picture of Brady holding up the Lombardi Trophy after the Super Bowl or during the Patriots championship parade. Itll be really annoying having to immediately scroll down just so I dont have to see that smug assholes face smiling back at me while he wears a Super Bowl XLIX Champions hat and confetti rains down around him, but I guess I dont have a choice unless I toss my phone in the garbage and go live in the woods for the next seven days. The worst will be those grids of him hoisting four different Super Bowl trophiesChrist, even the thought of that makes me want to fucking puke. The U.S. populace did, however, reportedly take some solace in realizing that the constant barrage of photos and articles about Brady and the Patriots doesnt represent a drastic departure from the medias normal, everyday sports coverage. 
2	Amusement Park Boots Muslim Couple After They Did THIS In New York at the CONEY ISLAND amusement park a Muslim was kicked out of Luna Park after she asked not to sit next to a man on a ride because of her religious beliefs. Brooklyn resident Asmaa Abdalla and her husband, Ibrahim Hamed, are suing the amusement parks owner, claiming a fun outing to Coney Island last summer turned into a nightmare when its workers hurled racist epithets and physically assaulted Hamed because of her request. The lawsuit says that the couple was at Luna Park on July 30, boarding a flume ride called Wild River, when Abdalla asked the operator not to seat her next to an adult male to keep in accordance with her religious beliefs. But the ride operator said no, telling the couple, They could get off if they didnt like it, according to the lawsuit filed last week in Brooklyn Supreme Court. Abdalla decided to stay on the boat ride because other people started to board behind her. But when the ride ended, the couple complained to a supervisor about the operator denying her request and about their boat getting stuck at one point. Now that amusement park is at risk of being sued and potentially have to pay out an incredible sum. What do you think of this matter? Should they have been kicked out the park? 
1	Saying its become a bit of an eyesore in the neighborhood, Waterbury residents noted Tuesday that local woman Jackie McAllister still has a tree standing in her yard weeks after Arbor Day. God, Arbor Day was more than a month ago and that things still out there for everyone to seethats just embarrassing, said McAllisters neighbor Brendan Pryor, noting that the lazy woman had failed to dispose of the oak tree in her front yard within a reasonable one- to two-week window following the April 24th holiday. Sure, its nice to get in the spirit with a tree for Arbor Day, but come on, its June now. At this point, Im beginning to wonder if shes just going to leave the thing up for the whole year. Pryor went on to express relief that at least McAllister wasnt the type of person to go completely overboard by putting all sorts of gaudy trees and shrubbery all over her yard every April. 
2	ExAccording to recent reports, the former field manager for Donald Trumps campaign and Miss Iowa beauty pageant contestant Elizabeth Mae Davidson has just accused the campaign of sex discrimination just prior to the Iowa caucuses. The 26-year-old claims that Trump paid female employees significantly less than male employees in the same position. She also claims that Trump told her and another female volunteer that they could do a lot of damage because of their looks. Davidson was a field manager for Trump in Davenport. She was paid $2,000 a month as a part-time staffer in addition to her work as a paralegal. Contrastingly, Davidson notes that colleagues were being paid between $3,500 and $4,000. In her filing against Trump, Davidson claimed that she was ultimately fired from the position because of disparaging comments about senior campaign leaders to third parties and for breaking a nondisclosure agreement. My people tell me she did a terrible job, Trump said of Davidson. In an interview with the Daily Mail, he argued that Davidson made up her claims, saying that the damage comment is not even something he would say. It isnt even in my vocabulary, Trump argued. I mean I might say someone is attractive, but thats just not a phrase I would ever use. Its not true. I have no idea who this woman is. Where do they find these people? What do you think? Do you believe Trump or does this jeopardize his campaign? 
3	Libya/Syria Lies, Damned Lies and StatisticsBy Graham Vanbergen Reuters(December 1st 2015 Osborne referring to the bombing of Syria) I think the estimate of extended air action over Syria would be in the low tens of millions of pounds. Thatll come out of the special reserve which we established for the purposes of military action like this. Osborne told a committee of lawmakers. Reuters (March 23 2011 Osborne referring to the bombing of Libya) The cost of Britains involvement in military operations in Libya is likely to be measured in tens of millions of pounds rather than hundreds of millions, Chancellor George Osborne said on Tuesday.Osborne said the cost would be less than recent conflicts and would be fully met from contingency reserves rather than the defence ministrys main budget. Same thing, different bloodbath. Documents released from Westminster show the final statistics of the bombing campaign in Libya amounted to 320m. This included50m spent on replacing spent weapons and munitions.These figures were clearly designed to disguise the truth from the British public. It has since transpired, contrary to Osbornes tens of millions prediction, that the actual total to Britain of bombing Libya is now estimated conservatively to be somewhere between 900 million and 1.25 billion. We have a Chancellor in Britain who miscalculated this campaign by around 1200%, give or take a few tens of millions. Any so-called special monies set aside obliterated in days. In the meantime, the UKs actions in Libya has left the countryawash with weapons and terrorists groups running amok, the government has collapsed, the country completely lawless.Africas richest nation per capita, where poverty was lower than The Netherlands and life expectancy the longest on the continentunder Gadaffi has disintegrated. Libya isnow just a failed state, a bloody anarchy with extremists hell bent on exporting itsdeath doctrine to the streets of the West. In September 2011, David Cameron, Speaking in Paris after he chaired a summit on Libya with Frances Nicolas Sarkozy, said early signs for its future were incredibly impressive and that the UK will play its part in rebuilding the country. Cameron lied. Britain sent just 25 million ($36m) to rebuild the devastated nation. For context itcost $100 million to build one waste water treatment centrein Iraq after the invasion. Carmeron, being asked questions by a BBC correspondent said We stopped a genocide. Would you have rather wed done nothing, let a genocide take place? Would you feel better as a British citizen? The Prime Minister continued to challenge his questioner: Youre asking me lots of questions, why dont you answer a question? He added: What youre suggesting is we should have stood aside and had a genocide take place in Libya, thats what youre suggesting. I profoundly disagree. Really disagree. I was prime minister at the time, I could see what was happening, I could see people were going to be slaughtered in their hundreds, possibly in their thousands. I had a choice: act and stop it or stand to one side? We acted and it was the right thing to do. But as Counterpunch reveals David Camerons assertion of genocidewas a myth. The NYT reportedMarch 2011 the rebels feel no loyalty to the truth in shaping their propaganda, claiming nonexistent battlefield victories, asserting they were still fighting in a key city days after it fell to Qaddafi forces, and making vastly inflated claims of his barbaric behavior. The vastly inflated claims are what became part of the imperial folklore surrounding events in Libya, that suited Western intervention. It has since been estimated that although David Cameron asserted thathundreds, maybe thousands would be killed by Gaddafi 60,000 civilians were killed by August 2011 as a result of the26,000 bombingsorties and 9,600 strike missions. British former MI5 agent Annie Machon went further, telling RT that NATOs interventionwas a total disaster on every front. Theyve had free education, free health, they could study abroad. When they got married they got a certain amount of money. So they were rather the envy of many other citizens of African countries. Now, of course, since NATOs humanitarian intervention, the infrastructure of their country has been bombed back to the Stone Age. The World Food Programme stated in November 2015 that one third of Libyans nowneed humanitarian assistance just to survive and one in five are on the brink of starvation. The economy has utterly cratered. In an interview with The Spectator, just three weeks ago, David Cameron, a man with blood on his hands for taking a fully active role in the destruction of Libya, lied again I would say that Libya is better off without Gaddafi. The coalition helped those on the ground to get rid of the Gaddafi regime. We did a lot to try and help it. Cameron went on in the interview to confirm he would do the same again under the same circumstances and unbelievably, given his own dodgy dossier momentconfirmed that you cant drop democracy out of a box at 40,000 feet and proceeded to doexactly that in Syria. In December, after the British parliament voted to engage in the bombing campaign in Syria, there were seventeen airstrikes in three weeks. As truepublica reported on the 8th December Each 6 hour Tornado mission costs around 210,000, adding to that cost is the use of four Paveway bombs at 22,000 each and two Brimstone missiles at 105,000 each. If all weapons are fired on an average mission the cost of each Tornado mission is therefore 508,000. It costs 400,000 a week for British fighters to use airbases alone, before they fuel the fighters and this is a campaign set to go on for years according to David Cameron. In the meantime, Britain has successfully lobbied the UNto send ground troops alongside special forces back into Libyato fight terrorists that Britain allowed to take a foothold and subsequent control in the first place. This will add to George Osbornestens of millions that turned into 1.2 billion. Unofficially, Britain already has troops in Syriaand Libya on the ground and fightingon multiple fronts. Up to 2013, the cost of the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq cost the British taxpayer nearly 35 billion in addition to normal military funding, which left thosecountries devastated. Of course that doesnt include the governments silence over the36 billion black hole that the taxpayer was facing in 2010 when the Conservatives came to power. Gordon Brown, the Chancellor at the time of the Iraq invasion stated the cost of the Iraq war to Britain was 8bn which was only 12 billion short of the actual cost.

1	WASHINGTON, DCThe embattled Clinton Administration found itself engulfed in still more controversy Wednesday, when The Washington Post reported that Vice-President Al Gore has been formally reprimanded by a federal grand jury for failing to look busy. Al Gore, defending himself against charges that he failed to uphold his vice-presidential duty to appear occupied. According to the Post report, Vice-President Gore first came under scrutiny on April 14, when he sat unproductively at his desk for more than three hours, surfing the Internet, playing Tetris and bending paper clips into animal shapes. All the while, the report stated, Gore made no attempt to conceal his inactivity from White House supervisors. Despite the flagrant, prolonged nature of Gore's idleness, the supervisorsaccustomed to such behavior from the bored vice-presidentlooked the other way, pretending not to notice and accepting his feeble excuses. At approximately 4:15 p.m., however, when Gore allegedly began playing the song 'The Old Gray Mare She Ain't What She Used To Be' on a tissue-paper comb at a volume loud enough to be heard by a White House tour group several rooms away, the supervisors had no choice but to bring formal charges before the grand jury. Last Friday, the jury issued Gore a reprimand in the form of a written pink slip, along with a verbal warning to 'get cracking.' 'I'm shocked the vice-president would allow this to happen, especially now,' said U.S. News & World Report editor James Fallows, referring to the highly publicized controversies involving Whitewater, Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky that have plagued the administration of late. 'Al Gore is an accomplished statesman and public servant, and he must be aware that looking busy is one of the most important duties of his position. Not looking like you're doing something halfway productive on the taxpayer's clock is one of the most serious crimes of which a vice-president can be accused.' Fallows acknowledged that, since there is very little for a vice-president to do in the course of an average day, it can be difficult for a man in Gore's position to consistently appear occupied on a long-term basis. Nevertheless, he said, Gore's failure to keep up appearances during this time of intense scrutiny for the Clinton Administration 'has to be considered a major gaffe.' Not surprisingly, Republicans are pressuring the president to follow up the grand-jury reprimandwhich some have derided as 'a mere slap on the wrist'with more substantive punishment, including a mention in Gore's permanent file at the White House personnel office. U.S. Sen. Alfonse D'Amato (R-NY), one of the leaders of the Republican charge against Gore, called the vice-president's behavior 'inexcusable.' 'Is it any wonder so many Americans have lost faith in government when a high-standing elected official like Al Gore doesn't even bother to look like he's doing something useful?' D'Amato said. 'I'll admit, I've slacked through some pretty uneventful days during my time in Congress. But at least I always made an effort to conceal my inactivity, either by spreading a bunch of official-looking papers across my desk or having my computer on. The American people deserve at least that much.' While Gore has maintained a calm public persona throughout the crisis, Beltway insiders say he is outraged that the humiliating reprimandwhich was supposed to remain confidentialwas leaked to the press. An anonymous source in the Post article quotes Gore denouncing the leak as 'a direct violation of company confidentiality policy as outlined in the official employee manual.' Lawyers for the vice-president are blaming the release of the supposedly confidential reprimand on congressional Republicans, a charge Senate Ethics Committee Chair Robert Smith (R-NH) strongly denied. 'We did not leak this reprimand, and we do not know who did. But what I do know is that this kind of misconduct is completely unacceptable from Vice-President Gore,' Smith said. 'A mandate to look busy is clearly outlined in the job description he was given and required to sign when he was first hired for the position. And the vice-presidential instructional videos Gore was required to view as a trainee further underscore the importance of looking like you're getting something done at all times. You can bet we'll remember this infraction at Gore's next scheduled employee evaluation, and I for one will be outraged if he doesn't receive a below-average job-performance assessment.' 
2	NFL Player Takes A Knee During National Anthem, Instantly Regrets It When This Happens In the past month, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has been dominating headlines with his refusal to stand for the national anthem. When confronted about his actions, Kaepernick asserted that he could not, stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. After the controversial stunt, many other NFL players followed suit by sitting or kneeling during the national anthem to show solidarity with Black Lives Matter. One of the players to join Kaepernick was Brandon Marshall of the Denver Broncos, who took a knee during the national anthem at his teams season-opening game last Thursday. Not surprisingly, this move quickly came back to bite Marshall. His sponsors decided to drop him for his actions. The first to make the move was Air Academy Federal Credit Union. They were quickly followed by CenturyLink. Thinks got worse when a fan showed up to the Broncos practice field and set an orange t-shirt with Marshalls name on it on fire. Its an evil world, Marshall later commented. Its a hateful world. Im not here to spread hate. Im not here to respond to the hate. Im here to spread love and positivity. What do you think of Marshalls actions? 
2	VIDEO: NAACP Does Something Nasty To Black Conservatives At Convention A recent video released by Progressives Todays shows representatives from Freedom Works being attacked by a NAACP member, who claims that they do not belong at an NAACP annual convention being held in Las Vegas. According to reports, FreedomWorks director Deneen Borelli and fellow Rev. C.L. Bryant were working a booth at the convention when the confrontation suddenly took place. The video clearly shows that the NAACP (once a civil rights organization) has become an anti-conservative movementand that is especially true for black conservatives. Borelli, author of Blacklash: How Obama and the Left Are Driving Americans to the Government Plantation are shown getting bad looks from the crowd. This was an awful display of intolerance by a group that claims to fight for inclusion and tolerance in society, Progressives Today accurately encapsulates the scene. Watch the confrontation take place below. 
1	A month after his return from his tropical vacation to Puerto Rico, every single line of local man Kevin Goodrichs latest MasterCard billing statement has reportedly conjured an infuriating memory from the trip, sources confirmed Monday. This one for $122.85 was when we left our hotel in San Juan 15 minutes after checkout and that prick at the front desk charged us for another full night, said Goodrich, who was momentarily whisked back to the Caribbean while perusing the monthly statements assortment of frustrating vacation-related expenses, which included debits for overpriced meals, crowded tourist excursions, and an array of unexpected surcharges and commission fees, totaling more than $2,500. Lookthis is from that time my ATM card inexplicably stopped working and I had to use my MasterCard to get a cash advance with a huge markup. And right here is the $80 I ended up paying our cab driver after he drove us to the wrong airport on our last day there. That was right before we missed our flight. Goodrich added that looking through the charges on the same months AT&T statement also provided a unique window into the calling habits of the pickpocket who stole his phone while he was waiting in line to enter Fort San Felipe del Morro. 
2	Sarah Palin To Become The Vice President Running Mate For The 2nd Time In a recent interview, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin commented that she isnt ruling out the possibility of becoming a vice presidential candidate for Donald Trump. Still, she expressed concerns that her position on the campaign trail could do more harm than good. When asked about the issue on CNNs State of the Union on Sunday, Palin called herself a realist and acknowledged that a run for office would bring a ton of controversy. Well, I want to help and not hurt, and I am such a realist that I realize there are a whole lot of people out there who would say anybody but Palin, the former GOP vice presidential nominee commented. So, you know, I just I just want the guy to win, she added. I want American to win. And I dont know if I would be the person that would be able to help him win, Jake. Palin did point out, however, that Palin has already had her background investigated ruthlessly. I think Im pretty much as vetted as anybody in the country, Palin commented. So, I think there are so many other great people out there in America who can serve in this position. I think if someone wanted to choose me, they already know who I am, what I stand for. They wouldnt be in for any surprises. Palin would be a controversial pick, there is no doubt, but Trump could do a lot worse. She served John McCain well in his 2008 campaign for president. Palin has an energy that could match Trumps on the trail, and there is no question that she is a tried and true conservative. What do you think of Palin? Would she make a good Vice President? 
2	RavenRaven-Symone has just come out with a huge announcement. She is claiming that she will leave the country and go to Canada if a Republican is nominated for president. Raven-Symone is known for being a host on The View, among other things. My confession for this election is, if any Republican gets nominated, Im gonna move to Canada with my entire family. Is that bad? Well, the fact that she doesnt know the difference between being elected and nominated is probably not the best thing. When the other hosts projected their skepticism, she replied, I already have my ticket. No, I literally bought my ticket, I swear. Regardless of who is elected president, a Republican will be nominated. So its looking like the chances are pretty good that she leaves. We hope she never returns. Do you think Raven-Symone is a terrible television host with illogical views? 
3	Courts Go Hog Wild in MichiganState stacks the deck against heritage hog farmer Mark Baker Heritage hog farmer Mark Baker sued the State of Michigan when its Department of Natural Resources arbitrarily ordered him to kill his pigs in late 2011. After two years of stalling, the state now has moved his trial from his home county to the state capital, where a panel of four appellate judges hand-selected by the state will hear his case. The Department of Natural Resources declaredBakers pasture-raised pigs to be an invasive species of wild boar essentially because they were raised outdoors rather than in a confinement animal feeding operation. The agency ordered him to destroy the animals, but he refused and sued for relief. The state has played every trick in the book to delay his legal challenge, while pilingnearly a million dollars in fines on him. Now, thanks to a controversial bill that was fast-tracked through the Michigan legislature and quietly signed into law by the governor last week, the DNR has another card to play. Senate Bill 652 redirects almost all legal challenges against the state to a special panel of four state Court of Appeals judges selected by the state Supreme Court chief justice. So, instead of his locally elected judge and a jury of his peers, Baker will have to plead his case to one of four men selected by the most powerful man in the states judicial system. Additionally, by issuing a stay order, DNR officials are now able to delay the trial another six months, which Baker believes is part of the states strategy to bleed him dry financially, as hes been ordered not to sell his pork in the meantime. Solid Case So why is the state stalling and doing all it can to deprive Baker of a trial by jury? Because our case is solid, Baker said in a recent interview with Food Riot Radio. The regulation Baker is challenging lists nine vague characteristics the Department of Natural Resources uses to determine whether a pig is an invasive species of wild boar. The defining characteristics include straight tails and curly tails, erect ears and floppy ears, solid black coloring, red and white coloring, and solid red coloring. And the best one is the ninth characteristic other characteristics not currently known, Baker said. The order is written so broadly that the Department can basically declare any pig that is not raised under roof on concrete illegal, he said. If we get them into a court of law and they have to explain other characteristics not currently known and straight tails and curly tails and things like that theyre going to lose and they know it, Baker said. Baker believes the state moved his trial to Lansing because they have sympathetic judges down there, that they probably have on the payroll and things like that. I know the judge here in my county weve gotten to watch him over time, Baker said. Weve gotten to see the expressions on his face when the Attorney General comes up with dumb proposals. Hes one of our neighbors. He lives amongst us, so he can be held accountable to make just decisions. But up in Lansing, its not about justice. Its about whos paying whom. If the attorney general is hell-bent on taking it to Lansing, Ive got to believe theyve got a good reason to do that. Not only do they know theyre going to lose up here in a local court they probably know they can absolutely win with their own judges down there at the state capital. Take action Baker asks everyone who values real food to repeatedly call the state attorney generals office, (517) 373-1110, and the governors office, (517) 373-3400, to demand a fair trial. Theyre getting sick and tired of people calling up and asking them questions about this. If I go down if my farm goes down theres nobody standing behind me, Baker warned. This is it. This is the last game. We dont have to lose, but we all have to pitch in, and we all have to do something because if we dont, we will lose. And all you budding farmers will be done, and all you guys who like to eat good food it will dry up. Please donate to Bakers legal defense Farm to Consumer Defense Fund or toMark Baker directly. 
1	Two-time NBA Finals MVP Kobe Bryant, who claims he typically looks forward to the 82-game professional basketball season, told reporters Friday that he's 'just not feeling it' this year. 'Yeah, I don't know,' Bryant said after a practice at which he arrived, took three lackadaisical jump shots, and left without removing his jacket. 'The whole basketball deal isn't really my thing right now. I don't really want to get into it.' When asked if he cared whether he won another NBA title, thereby tying the number of championships won by Michael Jordan, Bryant responded, 'Nah.' 
3	UN BioTrade Turning Africa into Financial Resource for Global GovernanceSusanne Posel, Contributor The UNs Environment Program (UNEP) released a report entitled the Global Environment Outlook (GEO-5). The GEO-5 took three years to complete. It is the UNs health-check on earth and encourages world government leaders to enact more stringent environmental mandates within their countries to combat their effects on the planet. Achim Steiner, UN under-secretary general and UNEP executive director, warns that time is running out as the worlds population comes closer to 9 billion people as expected by 2050. Steiner claims that as larger amounts of natural resources are expected to be consumed, the planets safety is at stake. If current trends continue, if current patterns of production and consumption of natural resources prevail and cannot be reversed and decoupled, then governments will preside over unprecedented levels of damage and degradation. The UNEP would like governments to redirect their focus on the factors driving climate change: The UNEP is centering their attention on Africa and Asia, where climate change is being felt most, according to the GEO-5 report. The UNs goals for sustainable development in Africa and Asia center on their population growth, water supplies and food security. The sub-Saharan and northern regions of Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and parts of Asia are of particular interest to the UN, as stated by UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO). 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. With the assistance of the UN, corporations have begun descending on Africa to aid in the securitization of their natural resources. Examples like an $11 million dollar project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Coca-Cola Corporation are usurping 50,000 Kenyan and Ugandan smallholders to produce fruit for Minute Maid, a subsidiary for Coca-Cola. Africa is now the last frontier in terms of arable land, said James Nyoro, the Rockefeller Foundations managing director for Africa. With the population growing to 9 billion, the rest of the world will have to depend upon Africa to feed it. Researchers for the British Geological Survey (BGS) and the University of London have uncovered underground aquifers of water in Africa that are 100 times the amount found on the surface of the continent; and have written a paper in the Environmental Research Letters journal. The created a detailed map of the underground water. This discovery is the largest attempt at water privatization by governments and international governances. The UNEP is also creating a project with the Capacity Building for the Biotrade Project (CBBT). Their concerns are with the use, collection, production and commercialization of goods and services for use and trade that expressly derived from the native biodiversity plants, species and organisms in our environment. The UNEP seeks to control the trading of these products to make sure they are cultivated in line with their definition of social, environmental and sustainable. As the desire for natural products in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries becomes more popular, the UN wants to gain control to secure profits and production standards. Speaking at the UN Earth Summit, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah , the Minister of Environment and Tourism, hopes that biodiversity could become an even greater asset for sustainable, pro-poor development in [Namibia]. Nandi-Ndaitwah promotes policy reforms and financial investments from the public and private sectors targeted at Namibias key BioTrade products and services. Through the use of multinational corporate relationships, control over the use of agricultural land in rural areas and implementation of BioTrade policies, research and development, the land grabbing by the UN will soon become extremely lucrative. The UNEP has also announced that they are investing in green projects under the African Carbon Asset Development(ACAD) Facility and expansion plans. ACAD is looking for financial investors, along with their current holders Stand Bank, to re-enlisted in the public-private partnership. Sylvie Lemmet, Director of UNEPs Division of Technology, Industry and Economics, is excited about the expansion plans: UNEP is pleased to announce the expansion of ACAD, and recognizes that much work still needs to be done to help African green entrepreneurs access carbon finance. We are thrilled to have helped not only bring good projects to fruition, but also to have supported the African financial sector evaluate the potential of innovative carbon projects. These latest developments suggest a strong vote of confidence in ACAD and signal Africas emergence as a fully-fledged carbon market player. These plans for the ACAD originated by provisions of the German governments International Climate Initiative by investing a facility that will seed the opportunities for more funding. Following suit is the French government who is negotiating to contribute through the French Global Environment Facility administered by the Agence Franaise de Dveloppement. The UN has enacted a carbon credit scheme under the registration of large-scale wind power projects in Africa. Multinational corporations are financing this plan to mandate LED lights to Rwandan households. ACAD will focus their global carbon sector and green economy schemes through Africa because of its natural resources. These projects are slated to attract commercial funding that will expand the ACADs reach. ACAD is Africas first project development support facility dedicated to increasing carbon project deal-flow, while the UNEP Risoe Centre on Energy, Climate and Sustainable Developmentis leading UNEP activities related to carbon finance and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). 
2	Store Refuses Service To Muslim Lady Because She Wont Remove Her Head Scarf Nadia Kamal, a Muslim resident of Philadelphia, was shocked when she was told to remove her hijab at an America Cash Advance center, even though a sign clearly read that hats and sunglasses were not allowed in the facility. The stores employees claim that the policy was originally instituted in response to criminals trying to rob the company with their faces covered. Im in a public place. I cannot do that, Kamal told employees. She then stormed out of the facility and immediately contacted the Council on American Islamic Relations. This is really about ignorance, Dawud Walid, a CAIR spokesperson, told reporters. Its really about fossilized policies and people being stubborn and not coming up to the modern time. Its ironic that Walid mentions the modern time when the Muslim community has been criticized for refusing to accept Western policies and values. Further, if youre going to strictly stick to your religious law, you cannot pick and chose which policies you follow. As one Twitter user pointed out, Islamic law prohibits Muslims from paying interestmeaning that Kamal shouldnt have been getting a loan in the first place. What do you think? Do you agree with this stores policies? 
2	Melania Trump Takes Down Libs Who Attacked Son... The Bull Is In The China Shop In the last few weeks, liberal attacks on President-elect Donald Trump have gotten personalwith social media trolls targeting his family and children. It started with Rosie ODonnell tweeting a YouTube video alleging that Donald and Melanias 10-year-old son Barron was autistic. Its clear that ODonnell decided to attack the child in an effort to get the last word in. She has been publicly feuding with Trump for years now. Now, Melania is using her high-powered attorney to demand that the video be taken down, and its creator be held accountable for his lies. James Hunter, who claims he made the video to stop bullying against Barron, says he is scared of the future First Lady. The disgusting attacks on the Trump children do not stop there. Earlier this week, Ivanka Trump posted a photograph of her infant son to celebrate his eighth month of life. Liberals on Twitter went crazy on the future First Daughter, claiming she didnt understand what a birthday was, and even calling her a dipshit. What do you think? Is it time for Americans to start respecting the presidential family? This needs to stop NOW. 
2	VIDEO: Netanyahu Publicly Humiliates Arab Politician After He Threatens Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu has often been recognized for his ability to articulate the truth in a way that is simple and undeniable. Such was the case when the leader spoke out after an Arab Israeli member of Knesset called Israeli International Relations Minister Yuval Steinitz an enemy of peace. We were here before you and well be here after youre gone, Jamal Zabalke said to the minister. After requesting permission to speak, Netanyahu responded to the politician. The first part is untrue, he claimed. And the second wont come true. Watch the interaction below and tell us what you think. 
1	Calling himself a pale shadow of his storied predecessor, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx admitted to reporters Friday that he often worries whether hell ever be able to live up to the monumental legacy left by Claude S. Brinegar. I try my best everyday to ensure a safe and efficient nationwide transportation system, but there are days when I just stop and think, Who am I kidding? Im no Brinegar and I never will be, said Foxx, adding that the legendary third chief of the U.S. Department of Transportation set an impressive and humbling standard for administering the nations transportation policies that no subsequent transportation secretary has ever been able to match, let alone best. Were talking about Claude Stout Brinegar here, for Gods sake. The man who tackled price gouging in the fuel industry, expanded commercial air service between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, and navigated this country through the 1973 oil embargo. I mean, what chance do I stand against a legacy like that? Foxx added that he can at least take consolation in the fact that hes already kicking the shit out of [14th Secretary of Transportation] Norman Mineta. 
2	Obama Sends Absurd Response To His Critics In THIS Extremely Inappropriate Way [VIDEO] President Barack Obama has been known to take several bold attempts at humor, but this latest stunt was nothing other than inappropriate. President Obama apparently thought it was a good idea to bring in an anger translator named Luther to help him get his points across at the recent White House Correspondents Dinner. Luther was played by Keegan-Michael Key from Key Peele on Comedy Central. Throughout Obamas speech, he chimed in with controversial notes on climate change and the upcoming 2016 Presidential Campaignincluding the running of Hillary Clinton. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is Obama the most inappropriate President weve had in the White House so far? 
3	NSA Director Finally Admits Encryption Is Needed to Protect Publics PrivacyBy Carey Wedler On Thursday, Rogers told the Atlantic Council think tank, encryption is foundational to the future. Though surveillance officials dont often champion privacy, Rogers emphasized the importance of encryption and the need to incorporate it into security practices. Concerns about privacy have never been higher. Trying to get all those things right, to realize that it isnt about one or the other, he said. Though he maintained that privacy should not be the dominant concern, he also rejected the belief that security is the imperative and that ought to drive everything, adding, Weve got to meet these two imperatives. Weve got some challenging times ahead of us, folks. Rogers cited the recent Office of Personnel Management hack of over 20 million users as a reason to increase encryption rather than scale it back. What you saw at OPM, youre going to see a whole lot more of, he said,referring to the massive hack that compromised the personal data about 20 million people who obtained background checks. Rogers comments, while forward-thinking, signify an about face in his stance on encryption. In February 2015, he said he shares [FBI] Director [James] Comeys concern about cell phone companies decision to add encryption features to their products. Comey has been one loudest critics of encryption. However, Rogers comments on Thursday now directly conflict with Comeys stated position. The FBI director has publicly chastised encryption, as well as the companies that provide it. In 2014, he claimed Apples then-new encryption feature could lead the world to a very dark place. At a Department of Justice hearing in November, Comey testified that Increasingly, the shadow that is going dark is falling across more and more of our work. Though he claimed, We support encryption, he insisted we have a problem that encryption is crashing into public safety and we have to figure out, as people who care about both, to resolve it. So, I think the conversations in a healthier place. At the same hearing, Comey and Attorney General Loretta Lynch declined to comment on whether they had proof the Paris attackers used encryption. Even so, Comey recently lobbied for tech companies to do away with end-to-end encryption. However, his crusade has fallen on unsympathetic ears, both from the private companies he seeks to control and from the NSA. Prior to Rogers statements in support of encryption Thursday, former NSA chief Michael Hayden said, I disagree with Jim Comey. I actually think end-to-end encryption is good for America. Still another former NSA chair has criticized calls for backdoor access to information. In October, Mike McConnell told a panel at an encryption summit that the United States is better served by stronger encryption, rather than baking in weaker encryption. Former Department of Homeland Security chief, Michael Chertoff, has also spoken out against government being able to bypass encryption. Regardless of these individual defenses of encryption, the Intercept explained why these statements may be irrelevant: Left unsaid is the fact that the FBI and NSA have the ability to circumvent encryption and get to the content too by hacking. Hacking allows law enforcement to plant malicious code on someones computer in order to gain access to the photos, messages, and text before they were ever encrypted in the first place, and after theyve been decrypted. The NSAhas an entire team of advanced hackers, possibly as many as 600, camped out at Fort Meade. Rogers statements, of course, are not a full-fledged endorsement of privacy, nor can the NSA be expected to make it a priority. Even so, his new stance denotes a growing awareness within the government that Americans are not comfortable with the States grip on their data. So spending time arguing about hey, encryption is bad and we ought to do away with it thats a waste of time to me, Rogers said Thursday. So what weve got to ask ourselves is, with that foundation, whats the best way for us to deal with it? And how do we meet those very legitimate concerns from multiple perspectives?

As the article stated, given that government agencies have the ability to circumvent encryption whats the point of their talks? I have no doubt that the chip manufactures build in back doors. I am electronically challenged, but agree wholeheartedly. Most LEOs are using this for fishing expeditions to facilitate civil forfeiture aka highway robbery. Civilian hackers are having a heyday. Just got my new chipped credit cards and within a few weeks 3 out of 5 were hacked even though they never left my sight. What a P.I. A. ! NSA supports encryption only because they can hack it at will. FBI hates it only because they dont want to have to rely on NSA for it. There is no privacy left in America. 
2	Tony Stewarts Major Announcement Has People Across The Country In Shock For the past few weeks, NASCAR driver Tony Stewart has been sitting out of races while the world debates what really happened the night he hit and killed fellow driver Kevin Ward Jr. Now, still amid the chaos, Stewart has announced that he will be racing this Saturday in Atlanta. This is good news for supporters of Stewart, who believe that the driver was merely the victim of bad fortune. In total, Stewart has sat out of four races since the accident. And although the investigation is still underway, NASCAR made the decision to let the driver race. Tony Stewart has received all the necessary clearances required to return to all racing activities and therefore is eligible to compete this weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway, NASCAR executive vice president Steve ODonnell announced. NASCAR has remained in constant contact with his race team and we will stay very close to this situation as Stewart returns to competition. What do you think? Do you support Stewart? 
1	Over the course of the 45-minute victory parade held Friday morning to celebrate the Chicago Blackhawks NHL championship, the Stanley Cup sustained nearly a dozen gunshot wounds, city police officials have confirmed. Multiple gun-wielding individuals, all appearing to operate independently, fired approximately 25 shots at the trophy, resulting in 11 direct hits, said Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy, who confirmed the famous trophys injuries may leave many of the names of past champions engraved upon it permanently illegible, including the entire roster of the 1999 Dallas Stars. We are seeking any information regarding the current whereabouts of the Cups assailants, as well as the identities of the 1.3 million revelers facing charges of public intoxication. Parade coordinators reportedly elected to continue the rally, stating that the crowds of Chicagoans did not seem at all fazed by the gunfire. 
3	Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity from Microwave Technology Finally Medically ProvenBy Catherine J. Frompovich An international group of researchers aced it when they published their findings from the clinical study Metabolic and Genetic Screening of Electromagnetic Hypersensitive Subjects as a Feasible Tool for Diagnostics and Intervention in the November 2014 issue of Mediators of Inflammation. So, the million-dollar-question has to be, When will utility companies get up to speed on the latest in microwave technology damage to the human body? Also, When will public utility commissions nationwide institute proper procedures to protect consumers from such damage? Pennsylvanians currently are being bombarded by non-thermal health problems from public utility companies electric, natural gas and water Smart Meters, which operate using microwave technology. Furthermore, the PA House Consumer Affairs Committee Chair Robert Godshall sits on Opt-Out Bills that will permit electrosensitive consumers and others to keep safe analog meters, which have been in use for decades. Below is the Press Release Pennsylvania Smart Meter Awareness (PASMA) released November 19, 2015, which discusses pertinent issues to EHS and Smart Meters. Electromagnetic hypersensitivity, or electrosensitivity (EHS), is a condition affecting more and more individuals who are exposed to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and radiofrequencies (RFs) from radios, televisions, Wi-Fi, dirty electricity coming over household wires from utility companies smart meters (SMs), microwaves, photocopiers, plus cell phones and towers. Worldwide, the numbers of people affected by EMFs and RFs increase exponentially, and add to other environmentally sensitivity-related illnesses such as multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), sick building syndrome, Persian Gulf War veteran syndrome, and amalgam disease. In Pennsylvania, childrens and adults health is being harmed by electric, natural gas, and water utility companies smart meters! The World Health Organization (WHO), in a December 2005 Background paper, stated: EHS is characterized by a variety of non-specific symptoms that differ from individual to individual. The symptoms are certainly real and can vary widely in their severity. Whatever its cause, EHS can be a disabling problem for the affected individual. [.] For EHS individuals with long lasting symptoms and severe handicaps, therapy should be directed principally at reducing symptoms and functional handicaps. This should be done in close co-operation with a qualified medical specialist (to address the medical and psychological aspects of the symptoms) and a hygienist (to identify and, if necessary, control factors in the environment that are known to have adverse health effects of relevance to the patient). Treatment should aim to establish an effective physician-patient relationship, help develop strategies for coping with the situation and encourage patients to return to work and lead a normal social life. WHO published online information about that workshop on electromagnetic hypersensitivity in 2004 here PASMA wants to remind the Pennsylvania state legislature and the PA Public Utility Commission (PUC) that EHS is a harmful healthand even-life-threateningissue for those affected, which utility companies are remiss about, in understanding that harm, by denying that such effects are medically proven and that SM-caused EHS cannotand will notbe mediated by replacing AMI SMs with EMF-free analog meters, which were used safely for decades, and which other states utility companies are allowing. The control factor in the environment relevant to many EHS problems is traceable to the installation of smart meters on home properties. PASMA further wants to point out what the WHO stated at the EMF workshop, which utilities, the PA legislature and PA PUC need to implement: help develop strategies for coping with the situation and encourage patients to return to work and lead a normal social life. For those EHS individuals impacted by SMs, legal opt-outs from SMs are a necessary ethical and medical exception to PA 129, and must be granted. SM-induced health issues are serious matters, which need to be addressed intelligently by state officials, and very soon, as too many Pennsylvanians cannot lead normal lives due to Smart Meters. PASMA respectfully directs PA legislators and the PA PUC to clinical studies in the journal Mediators of Inflammation Volume 2014, Article ID 924184, where researchers published their results regarding EHS. In their clinical study Metabolic and Genetic Screening of Electromagnetic Hypersensitive Subjects as a Feasible Tool for Diagnostics and Intervention published as an open access article, they say, Till now, no causal relationship between electromagnetic fields exposure and onset of clinical symptoms has been clearly proven. [.] The profiles of metabolic parameters alteration observed in EHS subjects were comparable to those of the pure MCS group, though generally less pronounced (Figures 58). Similarly to those MCS patients self-reportedly nonelectrosensitive, the EHS cohort showed a highly significant-versus-control decrease in the erythrocyte GST activity and an increase in GPX activity levels (Figure 5), coupled with a marked decrease of GSH levels (Figure 6). [.] A second parameter proved to be significantly different () between EHS and MCS groups that is the ratio omega-6/omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the erythrocyte membrane phospholipid fraction (Figure 7(c)). [.] Further developments must necessarily include a more objective and standardized classification of individual electromagnetic sensitivity scores, to conclusively assess the proposed parameters as a distinctive and specific panel of disease biomarkers for EHS. Our findings will hopefully contribute, in combination with the so-far putative genetic-risk factors, a better molecular definition of environmental-borne sensitivity-related illnesses and a tool to discriminate single SRI comorbidities, based on sufficiently proven molecular evidences able to gain clinical consensus. Smart Meter technology is based on microwaves, which is damaging the health of Pennsylvanians; has to be corrected by the PA legislature and PA PUC, since its counter to and, undoubtedly, violates the Nuremberg Code, including the Third Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which states: The right of the people to be secure in their personsshall not be violated. Certainly, Pennsylvanias childrens and adults health status is being compromised and violated 24/7/365 from EMFs, RFs, and the dirty electricity produced by Smart Meters.

It is time we take our citizens right to action to the forefront on the issues of public safety versus corporate profit. Our right to life must be protected from a utilities that should have been nationalized decades ago, particularly in a Commonwealth structure as is the keystone example of Pennsylvania. The re-installation of analog meters will in no way affect the profits of industry as all costs are past on to the consumer. Utilities are not the people and I should have the right to choose analog metering no matter what these unpatriotic corporations think or do; they are licensed entities and their corporate charters can be dissolved. Just a little correction please: it is the Fourth Amendment that guarantees the right of the people to be secure in their person, not the Third. The U.S. Navy conducted extensive studies on WiFi radiation in 1966 that proved the serious and harmful effects of microwave radiation. In 1999 a Blue Ribbon panel on the dangers of cell phone radiation came out and declared Wifi radiation harmful to all, especially children with underdeveloped bone and immune systems, yet the findings were suppressed. Proof Home/School Wifi are Invisible Killing Fields, Especially to Children All living biological beings are affected by this electromagnetic radiation. See what else you can think of that is poisoning our lives. When one and all arise against this psychopathic foolishness it will be consumed by its own lies. Blessings this sunny cold day Not just Pennsylvania. These meters are popping up everywhere. It seems to be common knowledge that EMFs are harmful, to everyone but the experts who are foisting this death tech on us for a higher profit margin and more control. The two sentences they left out of the WHO EHS citation EHS has no clear diagnostic criteria and there is no scientific basis to link EHS symptoms to EMF exposure. Further, EHS is not a medical diagnosis, nor is it clear that it represents a single medical problem. Can we say cherry picking? Happy to see you back Derek Ward.. This gives me another chance to ask you how BC Hydro can get a technician to measure the radiation from your smart meter and get ZERO. How did the Center for Disease Control do that Derek Ward??? How do you test a BC Hydro smart meter rated with a Maximum Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) of 36 dBm (4 watt) and GET A ZERO?? How come you will NEVER answer me? EHS lacks history. Lets use Microwave Syndrome instead which has 50 + years of historical medical military documentation. What can a parent do to reduce the radiation in their home? THIS HAS BECOME ENDEMIC ALL FROM THE PUSH FROM THE ENERGY CABALS AND OUR TREASONOUS GOVT ENERGY OFFICIALS! Does anyone have any actual peer-reviewed science papers proving this weird assertions?

1	According to local TV viewer Randy Bolz, Monday's episode of the 'absolutely awful' CBS show The King Of Queens was a repeat yet again. 'King Of Queens is bad enough when it's a new episode,' Bolz said, 'but this is the third time I've seen that stupid one where Doug buys the really expensive car against Carrie's wishes, then his company goes on strike. Even if I actually did like this show, I certainly wouldn't after seeing the same damn episode three times in less than a year. Christ.' 
2	BREAKING: Obama Announces Roll Out Of Mandatory Gun Tracking Bracelets According to recent reports, Attorney General Eric Holder claimed that gun tracking bracelets are something that the Justice Department intends to explore as part of its gun control efforts. Holder told the House that his agency is looking into technological innovations. I think that one of the things that we learned when we were trying to get passed those common sense reforms last year, Vice President Biden and I had a meeting with a group of technology people and we talked about how guns can be made more safe, Holder claimed. I think we want to try to explore so that we can make sure that people have the ability to enjoy their Second Amendment rights, but at the same time decreasing the misuse of weapons that lead to the kinds of things that we see on a daily basis, he continued. According to reports, the DOJ has requested a $382.1 million increase in spending for its fiscal year budget for gun safety. That includes a $2 million budget for Gun Safety Technology grants. What do you think of the new investment? 
2	Obama And Hillary Considering Declaring Civil War Over Gun Control Barack Obama has been on a mission to strip Americans of their Second Amendment rights. Now, some are speculating that the President has intentions to team up with Hillary Clinton and begin a gun confiscation missioneven if it ends in civil war. The theory was first introduced by the Daily Beast, who cited recent references by Obama and Clinton to Australia, who confiscated guns from its citizens. The Daily Beast argued that while the action may solve some problems, a civil war could erupt on American soil if it were put into action. In fact, some argue that the only reason Australia got away with what they did was because they didnt have a Constitutional right defending its citizens. Not to mention they were only confiscating 650,000a drop in the barrel when you compare it to the 350 million that are suspected to be in the hands of Americans today. Americans have fought for their rights, and we doubt that they will be stripped of them without a fight. Clinton can joke all she likes about Americans fearing black helicopters taking their guns away, the Daily Beast concluded, but it is not exaggeration to suggest that civil war could erupt in American soil were the U.S. government to attempt anything remotely resembling what was done in Australia. What do you think? Would you fight for your second amendment rights? 
2	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	Donald Trump Devastated After This Old Video Leaks And Threatens His Chances At Presidency [VIDEO] It seems like liberals are doing everything they can to dig up dirt on Donald Trump. So its no surprise that rumors that he violated his ex-wife Ivana Trump have resurfaced. The allegations are pulled from Trumps divorce, based on claims that were released in the book Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump, which was published in 1993. The allegations refer to a sexual encounter that stemmed from an incident where Trump was angry with a plastic surgeon who left in him in pain after a bald spot removal operation. The Daily Beast recently reintroduced the claims, stating that Ivana later revoked statements that she felt violated during a sexual encounter with her husband, rather than raped. And she claims that her use of that word was never meant to be taken in its literal sense. This is an event that has been widely reported on in the past, it is old news and it never happened, a spokesman for Donald Trump told Daily Mail. It is just a way for the badly failing and money losing Daily Beast, which has been reporting inaccurately on Mr. Trump for years, to get some publicity for itself, the spokesman concluded. Ivana has made it clear where she stands on the incident. As a woman, I felt violated, as the love and tenderness, which he normally exhibited towards me, was absent, she concluded. I referred to this as a rape but I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense. The Daily Beast has received several threats from Trumps lawyer about the allegations. What do you think? Is this just a desperate attempt from the liberal media to derail Trumps campaign? 
3	Japan Passes New War Bill, Legalizes ImperialismBy Brandon Turbeville A main component of the new laws is an end to the ban on the right of collective self-defense, defending another country, particularly the United States, if it were to come under attack, or in instances where Japan faces a threat to its survival, i.e. where Japan must defend its national interests. Under the Japanese Constitution, the Japanese military could only be used in cases of self-defense, hence the designation of self- defense army. Those restrictions have largely been removed as a result of the passage of the new bills. The bills had already passed the lower house of the Japanese Parliament and were passed by the upper house in the early hours of Saturday. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe stated the legislation was necessary to protect the peoples lives and peaceful way of living and is for the purpose of preventing wars. Protesters disagree, however, and fear a coming war and a tendency to move toward the perpetual war state and war economy of the United States. As quoted by the Los Angeles Times, many protesters have been vocal about these concerns. When Abe was running for election, there wasnt a word about security legislation. All we heard was Abenomics, Abenomics,' Yokoi, 71, a retiree from Tokyos suburbs, said as she stood in front of the legislature Monday evening. Then, as soon as hes elected hes putting the war bills out there. Thats just sneaky and underhanded. Thats not democracy. Yokoi is hardly alone. Since June, tens of thousands of demonstrators have repeatedly surrounded Japans parliament, or Diet, and gathered in cities across the nation to express their discontent with the proposed security legislation. Signs have read: Abandon the war bill! and We wont be fooled again. We wont go to war again. Organizers claimed 45,000 showed up at the Diet on Monday evening, although there was no independent confirmation of that figure. [] Mothers Against War, a small group founded in July, has collected nearly 20,000 signatures protesting the bills. Its members have taken to holding up signs at rallies saying: I wont let [anyone] kill anyones children. Perhaps one of the most prescient statements was made by protester, Miki Tsukamoto, a working mother with a 4-yearold boy. Everyones life is important. I think members of the Self-Defense Forces will quit. Maybe the only way to get troops will be a draft, she said. And if not by force, there will be a sort of economic draft in which the less fortunate are lured by promise of economic rewards for service. Were becoming like America. Thats frightening. Indeed, it seems Ms. Tsukamotos fears are becoming realized. It only remains to be seen how long it will be before Japan becomes entangled in a destructive foreign adventure. The lessons of history appear to have a very short shelf life. Brandon Turbeville article archive here is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

2	Fox News Host May Be Fired After Saying: All Muslims Need A Bullet To The Head Once again, a Fox News host is facing immense backlash from Liberals after claiming that Muslim extremists only understand a bullet to the head. Following the comment, which was made by co-host Andrea Tantaros during a heated discussion on The Five. The host was discussing the history of Muslim violence throughout the world. The comment was made just moments after some of Tantaros co-hosts stated that the Foley incident was nothing new. The hosts were citing the long history of beheadings and other violent acts. You cant solve it with a dialogue, Tantaros claimed, clearly upset with the discussion. You cant solve it with a summit. You solve it with a bullet to the head. Its the only thing these people understand. Almost immediately after the statement was made, Liberals took to twitter to demand a resignation from the host. Tantaros also received some support on social media. What do you think of Tantaros statement? 
2	BREAKING: North Korea Threatens To Nuke White House, See How Obama Responds North Korea has long been accusing the United States of escalating military tensions in the Korean Peninsula, and they have not been quiet about it. Now, it appears that they have actually issued a threat to strike the Pentagon and the White House with a nuclear weapon. According to reports, Hwang Pyong-So, the director of the General Political Bureau, made the following statement during an address on TV. If the US imperialists threaten our sovereignty and survivalour troops will fire our nuclear-armed rockets at the White House and Pentagonthe sources of all evil. Although this is not the first time North Korea has threatened the United States, it is disconcerting nonetheless. Many experts believe that North Korea is still some time away from actually developing a nuclear weapon of their own. What do you think of the threat? 
1	With both sides increasing their initial offers for the prized asset, multinational energy companies ExxonMobil and Chevron Corporation are currently locked in a fierce bidding war to obtain a lucrative Pennsylvania senator, sources confirmed Monday. This legislator represents an incredibly valuable commodity in the energy world, and both ExxonMobil and Chevron appear to be willing to pay whatever is necessary to acquire him, said oil and gas industry analyst John Blakey of the ongoing, back-and-forth bidding process for U.S. Sen. Patrick Toomey (R-PA), noting that both of the politicians potential owners are enthusiastic about the prospect of utilizing the treasured beltway resource for multiple terms. Granted, securing such a highly profitable elected official wont be cheapit never is. Both of these companies know that if they are fortunate enough to gain possession of this senator, the acquisition will pay dividends for years to come. At press time, sources confirmed that ExxonMobil and Chevron had entered talks with Pacific Gas and Electric, British Petroleum, Royal Dutch Shell, and Duke Energy to share claims in the senator for the foreseeable future. 
2	Kid Rock Just Came Out Of The Closet... Will You Still Support Him Rock star Kid Rock is known for pushing against societal norms and living life exactly how he pleases. So it should come as no surprise that among liberal Hollywood, he is unapologetic about his Republican views. Interviews demonstrate that Kid Rock is proud of the wealth he worked hard to earn. They also show that he is not afraid to make up his mind about social issues. He is a proponent of traditional marriage, for instance, but claims he has no problem with the homosexual lifestyle. I am definitely a Republican on fiscal issues and the military, but I lean to the middle on social issues, he told The Guardian. I am no fan of abortion, but its not up to a man to tell a woman what to do. As an ordained minister, I dont look forward to marrying gay people, but Im not opposed to it. Kid Rock also refuses to hide the fact that he is a self-made man. Im not just wealthyIm loaded, he commented. I can say that because Im not embarrassedIve made a f***-ton of money, but Ive never made a dishonest dollar. I try to do right by the people around me. The rock star has also admitted that he is not a fan of Barack Obama, claiming that he has let the country down. I didnt vote for him, Kid Rock explained. I didnt agree with his policies, but there was an exciting sense of change in the air. That promise hasnt been fulfilledthe country is more divided than ever. What do you think of Kid Rocks interview? Do you support him for speaking his mind?

He was raping the Russian people of their monies and ran out of the country before they could arrest him. He will let all you idiots that believe our news lies die for him while he sets back and laughs at you gullible peons. Im done with this site, the ads a out of control. Pages take forever to load and the ads are sh*t. Britain funds Umerica which funds the Commies, which funds a the new Jerusalem. And the lies of all continues without end. All are frauds to create a world based on fraud. They call this sustainable! Please get on with it. Why I prefer to read rather than endure videos. The CIA black-budget in the U.S. annual appropriation and Saudi oil dollars fund ISIS-ISIL. However, Judaisms MOSSAD commands ISIS-ISIL, per articles by veteranstoday.com. Judaism also plans to extend its 1948 land-grant, illegally awarded by the U.N. and fraudulently named Israel, into Syrian territory. Leadership of the 1948 land-grant have discovered oil in the occupied territory of Syria, and want to acquire their own source of oil, while extending into Syria. Such a nice, likeable theory. So simple. Only lacking, though, supporting facts, valid theories, and accuracy. I wouldnt be too dismissive of this theory.. The country calling itself Israel was created by the worlds elite via the UN, and that is directly contrary to how the bible says they will be restored. (GOD will restore Israel) Thanks.

2	Hillary Finally Meets Justice... This Is The Moment Weve All Be Waiting For According to recent reports, James OKeefe and Project Veritas have filed a federal elections commission suit against Hillary Clinton and the DNC. The Federalist reports that OKeefe has filed an official complaint with the Federal Election Commission. This comes shortly after he release two videos which expose apparently illicit actions by a group of political actors associated with the Clinton campaign, the DNC, and the White House. Of course, OKeefe is referring to the DNC allegedly hiring Clinton supporters to protest Trump rallies and create anarchy. Breitbart reports that the establishment media was forced to cover OKeefes videos after Robert Creamer announced he would quite working for the DNC. But the corruption doesnt end there. The first video released also prompted Scott Foval to leave his job with another Democratic political group, Americans United for Change. So, Ill give an example, Foval claims. In Iowa. Progress Iowa has a built-in group of people that they can message, who will show up. But what they will not do, is do that unless someone is paying them on the project. Because theres staff time involved, theres transportation involved, theres food, lodging, training, whatever, involved What do you think? Does this corruption need to stop? We cannot let a criminal be president. 
3	NATO Terrorists Bomb School in SyriaFrance seeks no-fly zone over Syria to repeat Al Qaeda Benghazi-blowback. The announcement made by French President Francois Hollande came on the heels of a deadly terrorist bombing in Damascus targeting a school rebels claim baselessly claim was being used by Syrian security forces. Reuters reported in their article, Syrian rebels bomb security building in Damascus: Protection for liberated areas would require no-fly zones enforced by foreign aircraft, which could stop deadly air raids by Assads forces on populated areas. But there is little chance of securing a Security Council mandate for such action given the continuing opposition of veto-wielding members Russia and China. Before quoting Hollande who said: How long can we accept the paralysis at the U.N.? The NATO-led, UN-mandated evisceration of Libya put power into the hands of genocidal, racist terror battalions who literally scoured entire cities of their inhabitants either massacring, imprisoning, or exiling them all beyond Libyas borders. Image: Libyan Mahdi al-Harati of the US State Department, United Nations, and the UK Home Office (page 5, .pdf)-listed terrorist organization, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), addressing fellow terrorists in Syria.

It should be clear then, to Mr. Hollande, that the UN is not in fact paralyzed but that the member nations that constitute the Security Council and the General Assembly are increasingly aware of and opposed to the duplicitous and untenable nature of NATOs wars of conquest, merely dressed up as humanitarian intervention. As France Pushes for A Libya Repeat, Media Politicians Desperately Attempt to Rewrite Narrative One attack in Benghazi, Libya, left the US consulate ablaze, unexpectedly trapping US Ambassador Christopher Stevens who succumbed to smoke inhalation. Despite the attacks, and the subsequent media circus and staged rallies to depict Libyas client regime as disbanding terrorist militias, the fact remains that vast terrorist networks stretching from Libya to Syria are still fully armed, funded, and covertly backed by the very corporate-financier interests that sold the last decade of War on Terror to the West. In addition to myriad staged events to portray a divide between the West and its terrorist proxies, there are also sophomoric and desperate attempts throughout the corporate-media to rewrite the Syrian narrative as public awareness grows, and support for Western destabilization under the guise of humanitarian causes collapses. One such attempt was published in the Washington Post in a piece titled, Among Assads opponents, moderation reigns, where David Pollock of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy attempts to argue that Syrias opposition is overwhelmingly moderate, with sectarian extremists being an exception to the rule, based on a poll conducted by the International Republication Institute. However, Pollocks think-tank, the Washington Institute, is in fact a Wall Street pro-war think-tank, lined by notorious warmongering frauds and Neo-Cons including Richard Perle, Max Kampelman, US Ambassador to Israel Samuel Lewis, accused war criminal Henry Kissinger, George Shultz, and James Woolsey, all signatories of the now infamous Project for a New American Century (PNAC), and all signatories of numerous letters calling for war with both Libya and Syria. The International Republican Institute (IRI) is in fact funded by the US State Department and is chaired by Senator John McCain, who had shaken hands with the very terrorists responsible for the US consulate attack that left Ambassador Stevens dead in Benghazi, Libya. McCain has also traveled to the Turkish-Syrian border to provide these same terrorists with support. The IRI itself had played an instrumental role in engineering the allegedly spontaneous Arab Spring, training and organizing activists years before unrest took to the Arab Worlds streets. We can expect calls for arming and defending terrorist proxies in Syria to continue while the corporate-media continues its attempt to portray what is literally Al Qaeda operating in Syria with NATO backing as instead, pro-democracy freedom fighters in desperate need of Western assistance. Conversely, we must continue to expose the corporate-financier narrative as the lies they are, while resolving to undermine the very source of their unwarranted influence which allows them to meddle globally in the first place.

2	Donald Trump Just Changed The Entire Election With His Gettysburg Address For many reasons, Donald Trump has been a candidate unlike any other. This week, he unveiled a ten-point action plan at Gettysburg National Park, in which the GOP nominee made a vow to clean the swamp that is Washington D.C. He has even provided a PDF document of the contract that every American can print out and keep to hold him accountable during his presidency. On November 8th, Americans will be voting for this 100-day plan to restore prosperity to our economy, security to our communities, and honesty to our government, Trump explained. This is my pledge to you. And if we follow these steps, we will once more have a government of, by and for the people. Read Trumps plan below and tell us what you think. Is Trump a far better leader than Hillary will ever be? 1. Middle Class Tax Relief And Simplification Act. An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief, and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with 2 children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from 7 to 3, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35 to 15 percent, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10 percent rate. 2. End The Offshoring Act. Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free. 3. American Energy Infrastructure Act. Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over 10 years. It is revenue neutral. 4. School Choice And Education Opportunity Act. Redirects education dollars to gives parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends common core, brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and make 2 and 4-year college more affordable. 5. Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act. Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications. 6. Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act. Allows Americans to deduct childcare and elder care from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-site childcare services, and creates tax-free Dependent Care Savings Accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families. 7. End Illegal Immigration Act. Fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a 2-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a 5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first. 8. Restoring Community Safety Act. Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a Task Force On Violent Crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars. 9. Restoring National Security Act. Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment; provides Veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice; protects our vital infrastructure from cyber-attack; establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our values. 10. Clean up Corruption in Washington Act. Enacts new ethics reforms to Drain the Swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics. 
1	In a speech before constituents at Indiana University Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN) paid much-needed lip service to the importance of a well-rounded education in the lives of young people. 'For every 100 children who enter kindergarten this fall, only 70 will graduate from high school,' Burton told the group of approximately 250 Indiana residents. 'Fewer still will finish college. As your representative, I consider it my duty to observe this statistic and mention it very, very often.' Burton continued: 'In a recent study of high-school seniors, 50 percent were unable to locate their own country on a globe. I, for one, will not be satisfied until every single young person in America has been given the opportunity to hear me speak about this appalling problem.' Burton, who is known for giving much-needed lip service to such diverse issues as inner-city poverty, the federal deficit and environmental pollution, added, 'Compounding the problem is the fact that parents are failing to take an active role in their children's education. Nearly 75 percent of parents cannot name the subjects their children are failing versus those they are passinganother tragic figure I appear deeply saddened by at public speaking events.' After demonstrating the dire need for educational reform for a full 55 minutes, Burton left the auditorium and took immediate action by returning to his hotel room. Burton's speech was well-received by those in attendance. 'I'm glad to have a congressman who acknowledges our dire need for better schools and, more importantly, brings it up during speeches,' said Mary Keyes, a Bloomington-based mother of three. 'This problem is only getting worse. How can we as a nation solve it unless our leaders are willing to talk at great length about every aspect of the situation?' Burton speaking on the value of education. Elementary-school teacher Edward Proehl also said he was pleased by Burton's speech. 'It seems like it's been years since we've had a statesman who doesn't just talk about the importance of education, but really talks about it at length. Too many politicians in the past have just skimmed over the major points, leaving us wanting a more substantial speech about how someone needs to do something about this issue.' Shortly after hearing of Burton's speech, Indiana Gov. Frank O'Bannon announced plans for a bipartisan 'Target Our Schools 2000' initiative, in which 50,000 pamphlets and a run of televised public-service announcements would spread a pro-education message to the state's people. 'I intend to have the education crisis discussed, analyzed, evaluated and debated, day and night,' O'Bannon said at a late-afternoon press conference. 'But there is so much that Americans can do in their own towns. Talk about the problem with your family, with your co-workers, and most importantly, with your children. If the very Americans our system has failed do not hear of their own plight, then the elected officials have not done their job.' Despite Burton's gubernatorial support, a number of political adversaries have criticized his role in education. 'Sure, Dan Burton has talked a lot about talking about education, but let's examine the facts,' said State Rep. Glen Albers, D-Spencer. 'He has passed up countless opportunities to talk about education all through his political career. When I run for congress next term, I will give lip service to the education issue in every single campaign speech.' Burton is confident, however, that he has helped raise consciousness about the need for awareness of the education issue. 'I don't pretend to have all the answers, but at least I've started people talking about the problem,' he said. 'After all, isn't that what solving problems is all about?' 
1	Competitors in Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Football league Super Bowl Shuffle expressed concern Thursday about the mental state of league member Evan Reeves, whose choice of team names over the past five years reportedly paints a picture of a man gradually descending into utter madness. When we first started out a few years back, Evan just called his squad Butkus Dick, but his name choices these last few seasons have been increasingly unsettling, fellow virtual manager Jay Steiner said of Reeves, 29, whose unhinged team names have since included The Widening Gyre, What Does GOD Fear? and PLAGUEPLAGUEPLAGUEPL. I havent seen this guy since college, but judging from his behavior, he appears to be entering into some kind of bizarre state of irreversible derangement, all while actively participating in our friendly 12-team keeper league. Its pretty disturbing to watch someone plunge into the darkest chasms of lunacy before your very eyes, plus all those Bible passages are really starting to clog up the message board. As further evidence of Reeves ongoing slide into full-blown psychosis, Steiner noted that this year the deeply disturbed individual drafted Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco in the first round. 
2	Muslim Refugees Attack Police Officers And Then THIS Happens President Obama likes to pretend that migrants and refugees are not a threat to Americans, but incidents like these tell a very different story about what can happy if we continue to let them flow into our country. According to reports, police in Macedonia just fired tear gas and stun grenades at migrants at the Greek border who were demanding passage into Western Europe. Soldiers were in the process of erecting a metal fence to keep them out. It didnt take like for confrontations to escalate to violence. One migrant, who is believed to be from Morocco, was burnt as he was climbing to the top of a train wagon. Footage shows an angry crowd rushing toward lines of Macedonian police and throwing stones. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Does Obama need to accept reality before its too late? 
3	Scientists: We Cant Do Anything About The Antibiotic-Resistant Superbugs That Will Soon Kill Millions Of UsMichael Snyder Well, it turns out that nature is having the last laugh. All over the planet bacteria are developing resistance to these drugs, and scientists are warning that they cant really do anything to stop these superbugs. With each passing year these superbugs are gaining ground, and there appears to be not much hope on the horizon of being able to fight them. In fact, no new classes of antibiotics have been invented since 1987, and none are being developed right now. Meanwhile, scientists are telling us that many current antibiotic treatments will be completely obsolete by the year 2030. Are you starting to understand why so many high profile members of the scientific community are using the words catastrophic threat to describe this crisis? An article about these superbugs that appeared in the Independent the other day got a lot of attention all around the world. That article claims that prominent British doctors are warning that these superbugs could undo a century of medical advances Drug-resistant superbugs represent one of the gravest threats in the history of medicine, leading experts have warned. Routine operations could become deadly in the very near future as bacteria evolve to resist the drugs we use to combat them. This process could erase a century of medical advances, say government doctors in a special editorial in The Lancet health journal. So what would life be like without antibiotics? Well, before antibiotics were invented if you scraped your knee and got an infection, there was a good chance that they would cut off your leg In the period before World War II people that got infections, they had to cut it out. They had to cut off limbs, cut off toes, because there werent antibiotics. And oftentimes, when people talk about the fact that we might have to go back to a pre-antibiotic age, thats what they mean that a simple scrape on the playground could be fatal. Are you ready to go back to such a time? You might not have to wait long. According to one very prominent doctor quoted by the Daily Mail, we have already reached the end of the age of antibiotics A high-ranking official with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has declared in an interview with PBS that the age of antibiotics has come to an end. For a long time, there have been newspaper stories and covers of magazines that talked about The end of antibiotics, question mark? said Dr Arjun Srinivasan. Well, now I would say you can change the title to The end of antibiotics, period. And all over the world the number of people becoming infected with these superbugs is rapidly growing. In fact, right now 23,000 people a year are being killed by these superbugs in the United States alone More than two million people are infected by drug-resistant germs each year, and 23,000 die of their infections, federal health officials reported Monday. The biggest killer by far is C. difficile, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports in its first big overview of a growing problem. Doctors have been warning of the problem for decades, yet up to half the prescriptions written for antibiotics are unnecessary, the CDC report says. And all these unneeded antibiotics are making the superbug problem worse. Most Americans have never even heard of many of these superbugs, but they can be extremely deadly C. difficile has become a scourge of hospitals and infection is often made possible when patients are heavily treated with antibiotics to fight other infections. It can cause unstoppable diarrhea and thelatest treatment doesnt even involve antibiotics, but a transplant of so-called good bacteriafrom healthy patients. CREs are a group of bacteria that resist even the strongest antibiotics. They include Klebsiella pneumoniae, which saw its infection rate jump 550 percent between 2001 and 2011. CRE is a nightmare bacteria we reported on in March, bacteria that can resist virtually all antibiotics, Frieden said. Gonorrhea may not be immediately life-threatening, but its developing resistance to the drugs that used to easily treat it.Patients can be left infertile, and, in January, Canadian researchers reported that seven percent of patients werent cured by the only pill left to treat gonorrhea. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Experts are warning that we could soon see millions of people a year die from these superbugs all around the globe. So why havent we heard more about this? Why is this not being widely publicized? Some are suggesting that some of the governments of the western world are engaged in an effort to keep this under wraps. For example, just check out what has been going on in Canada The federal government is hobbling efforts to control antibiotic-resistant microbes by sitting on reports about bacteria that sicken and kill thousands of Canadians each year, several doctors say. Infectious disease experts say Ottawa is treating national microbial surveillance reports like sensitive government documents. And the doctors are so frustrated, they are releasing the data they can obtain on their own website. Otherwise, its years before we see it on the federal website, says Dr. Mark Joffe, president of the Association of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Disease Canada (AMMI), which represents physicians, clinical microbiologists and researchers. What would the motivation be for doing this? Are they trying to avoid panic? Or is a more sinister motive at work here? Ultimately, this is a crisis that is only going to get worse as time goes by. Antibiotic-resistant superbugs are rapidly spreading and becoming more powerful. Meanwhile, scientists all over the world are telling us that there is not a thing that they can do to stop them. The era of antibiotics has come to an end, and nobody is quite sure what is going to happen next. [Editors Note: Medical experts have actually offered some alarming globalist solutions!

1	WASHINGTON, DCAmid growing anti-war protests and polls indicating eroding public support for an invasion of Iraq, President Bush is offering U.S. taxpayers a rebate in the amount of $300 if we go to war. Bush entices war opponents with a $300 tax rebate. 'My proposed tax rebate will serve to stimulate the economy,' said Bush, waving a sample check made out to John Q. Public at a White House press conference Monday. 'Americans will get a generous infusion of cash that can be used however they chooseall in return for simply supporting a first strike against Iraq. Now, who wouldn't want an extra $300 in their pocket next month?' Under the Bush plan, single taxpayers would be eligible for a $300 rebate, married filers $600, and heads of household $500. Attached to the proposal is a rider, penned by Bush himself, stating, 'Plus, we also will invade Iraq right away, everyone promises.' Pending passage of the bill, titled Economic Growth And Tax Relief Reconciliation Act Of 2003 And We Bomb Iraq (H.R. 1936), some 91.3 million checks could be mailed as early as March 31. 'The plan is almost identical to the tax rebate offered in 2001,' Bush said. 'With the minor exception, of course, of the provision that Americans react favorably to the deployment of 210,000 troops to the Persian Gulf.' 'Which reminds me, have you seen these new iPods?' added Bush, pulling an Apple-brand MP3 player from his pocket and holding it up to the crowd. 'It costs $299 for one of these little buggers, but it holds a thousand songs. They're amazing.' Citizens are excited by the prospect of having a little extra spending money. 'Things have been pretty tight lately, so this sure would come in handy,' said Ray Kilty, 48, an Akron, OH, screen-door-factory worker. 'I don't know much about what's going on with Iraq, but I do know what's going on with my truck. The brakes are set to go any day now.' Bush has been pushing the rebate, part of his ambitious $1.4 trillion tax-cut agenda, in a series of TV commercials. One such ad, which made its debut last Tuesday during Fox's American Idol, features the slogan, 'Free Iraq Of Hussein, Free Rent For A Month.' Another upcoming spot asks the question, 'War: What Is It Good For?' and answers, '$300, Is What.' In recent weeks, Bush has also met with key lawmakers in an effort to win their support. 'I get the green light from the American people, and they get 300 smackeroos,' Bush told members of the Senate budget committee last Friday. 'Any questions?' 'I'll tell you what,' Bush added. 'Just because I'm feeling generous, I'll throw in another $20 per dependent if we invade by the end of next week.' To ensure public support, the following will appear in fine print below the endorsement line on the back of each check: 'By signing and cashing this check, the above is hereby indicating his or her consent to a U.S. invasion of Iraq, and will refrain from attending protest rallies or committing any other act that could reasonably be construed as an expression of disapproval of said war.' 'Americans need two things right now: economic relief and the elimination of the threat of terrorism.' Bush said. 'These rebates take care of both. I can't think of a better way to show the citizens of this nation that war truly pays.' 
3	Gaza update: death toll rises, family blown up by Israeli missile, hacking spree by Anonymous grows, Hamas holds to aggressive stanceMadison Ruppert, Contributor An entire family in Gaza was killed by an Israeli missile, reportedly due to technical error, resulting in the deaths of Ibrahim, 2, Yusef, 4, Jamal, 6, and Sara, 7, all children of Mohamed El Dallo, a man whom the Telegraph called a rumored Hamas member. Nine members of the family, all women and children, along with two neighbors, were killed by the missile fired from an Israeli F-16. Dallo, the reported Hamas member, was not even home at the time of the strike. This airstrike has been the single most deadly incident in the entire conflict thus far. The timing was especially unfortunate as, It was launched as optimistic reports from anonymous Israeli military officials circulated in the local media suggesting that the crisis talks taking place in Cairo may soon produce a ceasefire, according to the Telegraph. Gaza health official Ashraf al-Kidra reported that an additional airstrike leveled two houses belonging to a single family, killing two children and two adults and injuring 42 people, including children, according to CBS. However, 12 to 15 members of the same family were still being searched for under the rubble at the time of publishing. Sundays death toll alone was 29 while, according to The New York Times, Gaza health officials reported that 70 Palestinians had been killed in airstrikes since Wednesday, including 20 children, and that 600 had been wounded. CBS, on the other hand, reports, In all, 81 Palestinians, about half of them civilians, have been killed in the five-day onslaught and 720 have been wounded. Thus far, three Israelis have been killed and 79 wounded by rockets fired from Gaza into Israel. CBS said the wounded Israelis number in the dozens. Anonymous has kicked their Israel-targeted hacking offensive into high gear with Israeli Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz reporting that Israel has deflected 44 million cyber-attacks on government websites over the past four days alone. This is an unprecedented attack, and our success has been greater than we anticipated, Steinitz said. President Obama, speaking at a joint press conference with Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, made his position on the conflict abundantly clear. Israel has every right to expect that it does not have missiles fired into its territory, he said, according to ABC. If that can be accomplished without a ramping up of military activity in Gaza, thats preferable. Thats not just preferable for the people in Gaza, its also preferable for the Israelis because if Israeli troops are in Gaza they are much more at risk of incurring fatalities or being wounded. Were going to have to see what kind of progress we can make in the next 24, 36, 48 hours, but what Ive said to [Egyptian] President Morsi and [Turkish] Prime Minister Erdogan is that those who champion the cause of the Palestinians should recognize that if we see a further escalation of the situation in Gaza than the likelihood of us getting back on any kind of peace track that leads to a two state solution is going to be pushed off way into the future, Obama added. Ultimately, Obama sided completely with Israel, stating, We are fully supportive of Israels right to defend itself from missiles landing on peoples homes and workplaces and potentially killing civilians. And we will continue to support Israels right to defend itself. It is hardly surprising that Obama focused on the potential deaths of Israelis which is obviously far from acceptable and avoided the issue of the very real and rising numbers of dead Palestinian civilians. The New York Times is now reporting that Hamas is attempting to leverage their relationship with Egypts new Islamist government in making thoroughly unrealistic demands of Israel. The groups leaders, rejecting Israels call for an immediate end to the rocket attacks, have instead laid down sweeping demands that would put Hamas in a stronger position than when the conflict began: an end to Israels five-year-old embargo of the Gaza Strip, a pledge by Israel not to attack again and multinational guarantees that Israel would abide by its commitments, writes David Kirkpatrick and Mayy El Sheikh for The New York Times. For those with an even basic grasp of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, such demands likely seem unrealistic to the point of absurdity, yet it seems that Egyptian President Morsi is entertaining such notions given that he met with Khaled Mashaal, a top Hamas leader, on Sunday. Reda Fahmy, a member of the Egyptian upper house of Parliament and of the dominant Islamist Freedom and Justice Party, said, Hamas has one clear and specific demand: for the siege to be completely lifted from Gaza. Its not reasonable that every now and then Israel decides to level Gaza to the ground, and then we decide to sit down and talk about it after it is done, Fahmy continued. On the Israeli part, they want to stop the missiles from one side. How is that? If they stop the aircraft from shooting, Hamas will then stop its missiles. But violence couldnt be stopped from one side, Fahmy said. Moussa Abu Marzouk, a senior Hamas official who settled in Cairo after the removal of former president Hosni Mubarak, said that if another conflict were to occur with Israel, The position of all Islamists in the region will be that of Hamas, not the other way around. Yet the Israeli intelligence minister, Dan Meridor, expressed no interest in relenting. In a statement on Israeli television, Meridor said that they would wait for Hamas to stop firing before they would negotiate a long-term cease-fire agreement. Until that point, Meridor said that Israel will do whatever it takes to remove Hamass rocket-firing capability, which potentially includes an incursion into Gaza, according to The New York Times. UPDATE: IDF: Israel gives Hamas 36-hours ultimatum before starting major offensive via RT. Israel has warned Hamas it will step up its offensive in the Gaza Strip in 36 hours if they do not cease rocket fire. Israels Finance Minister told IDF radio the time left before Israel escalates its attacks can be measured in hours, not days. We are at a junction, said Minister Yuval Steinitz. Either we go toward a calm or toward a meaningful widening of the operation including a possible move to achieve complete military decision. Israel has demanded that Hamas cease firing rockets into Israel for a period of several yearsand that they stop the smuggling of weapons into Gaza. The conditions are part of a six-part proposal put forward by the Israeli government at negotiations with Hamas in Cairo. In addition, the proposal asked that Israel be allowed to hunt down terrorists in the event of an attack or if it obtains information on an imminent attack. Hamas official Moussa Abu Marzuk said Hamas would not accept the creation of an Israeli security belt in eastern Gaza. For their part, the Palestinians have demanded the immediate lifting of the Israeli blockade on Gaza and the cessation of IDF targeted killings. UPDATE 2: Harry Fear is live streaming from Gaza.

3	A Plan to Improve the American Electoral SystemVan Cornelius A version called instant runoff has been used in parts of the United States and in a number of other countries.In this system, if no candidate receives a majority of first choices, then the candidate with the least number of first-choice votes is eliminated and his/her second choice receives his/her vote. This continues until one candidate has a majority. A relatively simple and straightforward way of implementing ranked-choice voting that would, I think, give parties other than the predominant two more of a chance of winning would start by counting first choices. If one candidate has a majority of first place rankings, then that candidate would be the winner. If no candidate has a majority of first choices, then all first and second choices would be totaled. If a candidate achieves a majority of this total number, then that candidate would be the winner. If this does not produce a winner, then the third place choices would be added in. This process would continue until a candidate achieves a majority or until all choices are counted. If this process does not produce a winner, then the instant runoff could be used. If a voter does not rank all the candidates, those candidates not ranked would each receive a proportionate fraction of a vote in each subsequent round of tabulation. Having more than two choices could produce some candidates who would be less prone to pander to voters preconceived opinions since they do not have to get a majority of first choices to be viable, and instead attempt to promote and educate voters about their own considered viewpoints. In other words, more leadership and less self-serving pandering could possibly be encouraged. Wouldnt it be great if elections could be educational opportunities where voters learned about different political and economic philosophies and their implications for current issues? This may seem naively idealistic, but I think that it would be desirable for the electoral system to at least make this possible. Now elections are more about pandering, vote buying and an appeal more to the voters short-term self-interest than to a rational concern with the long-term greater good. Smaller parties would have more opportunity to grow over time, as they educate the voting public about their ideas. This would entail more immediate cost to set up. Voting machines would have to be programmed to do the necessary tabulations. Actual calculation of the result would have to be done at a central location. If the present machines could not be programmed to do the job, new machines would have to be bought. A voter education program would be needed in order to prevent too much voter confusion with the new system. Much less resources on voter education would be needed in subsequent elections as voters become familiar with the new system. Personally I think that the benefits to our republic would outweigh the costs. For this to happen, the media would need to be more open to including non-major party candidates in their coverage, and debate sponsors would have to be more inclusive in allowing parties into debates. The emphasis should be on maximum practical inclusiveness not on excluding parties. I think that it is really unfair not to include parties which are on the ballot in the overwhelming majority of states (such the Libertarian Party-49 states and the Green Party-44 states).Would it be too cumbersome to have 4 debate participants? I would think not. Do the sponsors believe that the average voters attention span is too limited to consider more than two points of view? I say, give the voters the benefit of the doubt. One major obstacle to greater voter choice is the opposition of the 2 major parties through their control of the Commission on Presidential Debates which was established in 1988. The debates prior to 1988 were hosted by the League of Women Voters. In 1988 it withdrew, making this statement: the demands of the two campaign organizations would perpetrate a fraud on the American voter. That year the campaigns of George H. W. Bush and Michael Dukakis met secretly to limit who could sit in the audience, and who would serve as panelists, and they also abolished follow-up questions. (In 1984 nearly 100 proposed panelists had been vetoed jointly by the Republicans and Democrats.) Starting in 1988 the debates and the information that the public is allowed to have through the debates has been overtly controlled by the 2 major parties, a fox-guarding-the-hen-house type of situation. For example after Ross Perot got 19 percent of the vote in 1992, the foxes decided in 1996 that he was too much of a threat and excluded him from the debates, thus perhaps ending the national threat to them of the Reform Party for good.If enough people know about this control and protest perhaps the debates would be forced to be more inclusive. This year, three debate sponsors dropped their support for the debates over the exclusion of Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson.[4] This article has been entered into the selfnews Post Writing Contest Solutions. 1st place receives a $250 cash prize $250 gift certificate to Offgrid Outpost. 2nd place receives a $250 gift certificate to Offgrid Outpost.

3	Poverty Report Contradicts GDP ClaimsPaul Craig Roberts The best investment in America is a highly leveraged fund that invests only in large cap companies that are buying back their own stocks. Many of the firms repurchasing their stocks are borrowing in order to push up their stock prices, executive performance bonuses, and shareholders capital gains. The debt incurred will have to be serviced by future earnings. This is not a picture of capitalism that is driving the economy by investment. Neither is consumer spending driving the economy. The US Census Bureaus 2013 Income and Poverty Report concludes that in 2013 real median household income was 8 percent below the amount in 2007, the year prior to the 2008 recession and has declined to the level in 1994, two decades ago!(Source) Even though real household income has not regained the pre-recession level and has declined to the level 20 years ago, the government and financial press claim that the economy has been in recovery since June 2009. Neither is an increase in consumer debt driving the economy. The only growth in personal debt is in student loans. Real retail sales (corrected with a non-rigged measure of inflation) remain at the level of the bottom of the recession in 2009. Macys , J.C. Pennys, and Sears store closings are further evidence of the lack of retail sales growth, as is the fact that two of the three dollar store chains are in trouble. Walmarts sales are declining. The basis of auto sales hype is subprime loans and leases taken by those who cannot qualify for a loan to purchase. Housing starts remain far below the pre-recession level, which is not surprising when available jobs are part-time with no benefits. Such jobs cannot support the formation of households and purchase of homes. Where does the governments second quarter 2014 real GDP growth rate of 4.6 percent come from? It comes from an understated inflation measure and jiggled numbers. It is not a correct figure. Nothing has occurred in the economy to turn it from a first quarter decline of more than 2 percent into a second quarter growth of 4.6 percent. The 4.6 percent number is pulled out of a hat to set the stage for the November election. It is extraordinary that economists and the financial media permit the government to get away with its false economic reporting. Of course Wall Street likes good news . . . but fake news that misleads investors and covers up economic policy mistakes? Clearly, something is wrong with the governments economic reporting. It is not possible to have real GDP growth when real median family incomes are declining and business investment consists of corporations buying back their own shares. Either the governments GDP estimate is incorrect or the Census Bureaus Income and Poverty report is incorrect. Apparently Washington doesnt understand that if it is going to rig the numbers, it must rig all the numbers. The rigged inflation measures create illusionary real GDP growth. They also block cost-of-living adjustments to Social Security pensions. Indeed, the main purpose of the rigged inflation measures is to get rid of socialistic Social Security by allowing inflation to gradually erode away the real values of entitlements. Republicans always want to cut entitlements that people have paid for over their working lifetime with the payroll tax. But Republicans never want to cut the payroll tax. They need the revenues in order to bail out the big banks and to pay for never-ending wars. Washington has been conducting needless wars abroad for 93 percent of the 21st century at a cost of trillions of dollars. More trillions have been wasted bailing out banks that deregulation permitted to become too big to fail. During the past seven years, millions of Americans have lost their jobs and their homes, and food stamp rolls have reached record numbers. These hurting Americans have been ignored by policy-makers in Washington. Clearly, government in America is focused on something different from a healthy economy and the well being of citizens. We call it democracy, but its not. This article first appeared at Paul Craig Roberts website Institute For Political Economy.

1	Looking to cover every possible angle of NFL training camp, Sports Illustrated has once again unleashed its army of 350,000 Peter King clones on the preseason workout facilities of all 32 NFL teams. Marching in lockstep, dressed in identical turquoise polo shirts and khaki pants while carrying reporter's notebooks in their left hands, the legion of indistinguishable sports journalists all reportedly maintain the same smile 24 hours a day, blink at the exact same time, and ask football-related questions in unison. According to Sports Illustrated officials, there are currently 10,000 Peter King clones at each NFL training camp, with the remaining 30,000 assigned to Terrell Owens. 'The King simulacra are a very effective journalism tool,' Sports Illustrated's assistant managing editor B.J. Schecter told reporters Friday, adding that no single human being could file six extensive training-camp reports in a one-week span. 'At any given moment we might receive 84,000 different news items from 20 different training camps. These files are then uploaded directly from the on-the-ground clones to the Mother King, which hosts Peter King Prime's original brain.' Located in Sports Illustrated's spring-training laboratory, the Mother King is suspended 200 feet above the stainless-steel floor, floating in a glass container of cerebral fluid. By using an intricate network of thermionic tubes, King's technician-attendants interface the brain with the publication's mainframe computer to upload training camp reports directly to SI.com in perfect Monday Morning Quarterback form. 'Observe,' said Schecter, gesturing to a series of visible electric pulses transmitted by the brain through conductive tubing to the computer, which in turn immediately generated a 340-page printout. 'Right now we are getting the fallout from the Dez Bryant situation in Dallas, a report on how Ben Roethlisberger's teammates are responding to him in Pittsburgh, and a personal anecdote about how the Peter Kings are back to drinking triple-grande hazelnut lattes on their current road trip.' According to NFL teams, multiple Kings can be seen on the field, off the field, talking to fans, talking to coaches, and typing on their computers all at the same time. While this creates optimal training-camp coverage, players and fans have complained that looking around and seeing a swarm of identical human beings occupying every spare inch of their facility can be disturbing. In addition, players have told reporters they do not enjoy being woken up every morning at 4:30 a.m. by the sound of 20,000 simultaneous footsteps marching into their respective camps. 'They all write in their notebooks at the exact same time,' said Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, adding that he was put off when an array of Peter Kings approached him in the locker room, extended their arms, and said 'Hello, Mark. I'm Peter. Care to answer some questions?' in half-human, half-robotic voices. 'I was relieved when the interview was over. But when I got onto the field there were 250 more Kings waiting for me who said, 'Hello, Mark. I'm Peter. How would you assess the offense this year?'' 'Peter King is everywhere,' Sanchez added. 'It's definitely creepy,' Houston Texans running back Steve Slaton said. 'The sight of 400 Peter King heads following my every cut and juke in perfect unison is just bizarre. Especially because his eyes don't move. Just his head, like a lizard. But the fact that the Texans are getting any media attention whatsoever, even from a hive-mind-controlled group of identical robotic sports reporters programmed to cover us, is actually kind of nice.' Built in 2003 by aging sportswriter and genius cybergeneticist Dr. Frank Deford, the King duplicates originated from reproduced skin grafts and body parts of the late Peter King, a Sports Illustrated football journalist who died of a heart attack in 2002 while taping a segment for Inside The NFL. Deford, also referred to as 'Father' by all Peter King clones, was unavailable to comment for this article. However, in a 2007 interview with HBO's Real Sports, a gaunt, sallow-looking Deford can be seen gazing almost rapturously at 200,000 hibernating clones and calling them 'a perfect sports-journalist superorganism capable of carrying out its design function flawlessly and effortlessly.' He later orders the cameras to stop rolling when it appears as if one of the Peter King clones has lifted his head and is unexpectedly becoming operational. Deford has not been seen since. 
1	Saying that she could go for Thai or maybe Mexican, nurse Rhonda Merritt reportedly told colleagues at Martha Jefferson Hospital today that she plans to grab lunch as soon as she finishes draining all the bile from an elderly patients infected liver. Pad thai wouldnt be bad, but I just had that a couple days ago, so maybe Chipotle? the 42-year-old nurse said to her coworkers as she removed a catheter bag filled with green-brown liquid from her patient and then turned him on his side to sop up the discharge from a bedsore on his tailbone. One of those carne asada burritos actually sounds pretty good right about now. Definitely with guac and sour cream. Man, Im starving. Adding that she didnt have much time before she needed to suction out a few patients tracheostomy openings, Merritt then reportedly told colleagues that she might just have some chow mein delivered. 
3	Marijuana Becomes the Last Crime to be Decriminalized in D.C.Mac Slavo Allowing possession of up to two ounces and growing up to six plants, weed has pretty much become the last crime to become all but officially legalized there. Voters in Washington, D.C., have approved the legal use of marijuana for recreational purposes. Supporters of the D.C. marijuana measure had a 65-29.5 percent lead as of 9:09 p.m. ET, with 20,727 voting in favor. The D.C. case could create friction between the citys leaders and Congress particularly if, as many expect, Republicans take control of both chambers. The Districts Initiative 71 includes provisions that allow residents to grow six or fewer marijuana plants in their homes and possess up to 2 ounces of the drug for their own use. And it was approved handily by voters. It is, after all, the city that elected Marion Barry back to the D.C. City Council and later back to the D.C. Mayors office after he was busted smoking crack cocaine in a hotel room on camera while he was mayor. His campaign staff went with the all-too-appropriate slogan He May Not Be Perfect, But Hes Perfect for D.C. After all, it is the big fish who are engaged in the real crime while in power. Their city is more like a haven for scheming and organized theft than it is a place of lawmakers, diplomats and officials (though they happily wear the mantle of their elected and appointed titles). This is the place where illegal executive orders, illegal wars and unconstitutional acts are brazenly entered into official policy and too big to actually be considered crimes. Prostitution long ago passed proportions of plague and epidemic, instead becoming standard parts of lobbying packages and the generic fodder for political blackmail. Pork barrel legislation and other corrupt abuses of power come just as standard. The members of Congress can officially speed and get away with other petty offenses just by virtue of their office, while foreign diplomats are all but untouchable from even the most heinous crimes under treaty protections. And aside from occasional isolated incidents, politicians and diplomats can virtually expect to never be prosecuted for their actions. What happens in D.C. stays in D.C. Marijuana, on the other hand, was originally criminalized under dubious circumstances in the vacuum of the end of alcohol prohibition and heavy influence from industrial titans who saw hemp as a threat to other commodities they controlled. At the very worst, marijuana has been a vice that has allowed the prison-industrial complex to cash in and fill private prisons with non-violent drug offenders. It seems ironic that this petty crime would finally join the ranks of all the actual sin and misdeeds that make this notorious city so odorous. But even then, it is no surprise at the hypocrisy, given that some members of Congress introduced legislation to prevent the city from allowing legalization after Mayor Vincent Gray decriminalized it earlier in the year, should voters decide to approve the measure for full legalization. Back in June, this happened: An amendment that would make it impossible for the District of Columbia to lessen penalties for marijuana possession and possibly to legalize the drug passed Wednesday in the House Committee on Appropriations, drawing a rebuke from the Districts mayor. [] Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), who proposed the amendment in committee, said that his background in medicine motivated his efforts to block the District law. As a physician, I have read study after study on the devastating effects of marijuana use, especially on developing brains of teenagers, Harris, who is an anesthesiologist, said in a statement. Congress has the authority to stop irresponsible actions by local officials, and I am glad we did for the health and safety of children throughout the District. [] Representative Harris cant overturn the marijuana decriminalization laws of the 18 states that have decriminalized marijuana so he has stooped to using autocratic, anti-democratic power to seek to overturn our local laws, said Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) in a statement on Tuesday. How that amendment could affect last nights vote remains to be seen, but the ACLU released a report detailing how D.C. has the highest per capita number of arrests for possession of marijuana in the entire country. ACLU Attorney Paul Zuckerberg commented, Not only do we lead the nation in marijuana arrests per capita, but 90.9 percent of people arrested in the District for marijuana possession are black. Oregon also voted to legalize marijuana in yesterdays elections, while measures in Alaska and Florida failed despite strong showings that indicate the national attitude towards the criminalization of this drug has changed significantly.

2	BREAKING: Donald Trump Releases Startling New Information About Obamas Citizenship Recently, Donald Trump spoke out about Obamas citizenship at the National Press Club, claiming that there was a very big chance that the president was born in America. Trump went on to explain that he is baffled by the reluctance of the administration to release any type of documentationeven college documents. Obama has also turned down offers from $50 million to $5 million to review the documents. Both offers came from Trump himself, who did not receive a reply. He even offered that the $50 million be donated to any charity that Obama desired. He just asked to see his college documents, admitting that he would ignore the grades. Given no opportunity to review the documents, Trump was forced to draw his own conclusions. In his opinion, there are three reasons why the president would not want to reveal documentation. The first option is that Obama was born in America and went to college as an Americawhich trump highly doubts. The second is that he was born in Kenya and his eligibility as president is null and void. But the option that Trump is leaning toward is that Obama was born in America, but claimed to be born in Kenya to receive financial aid typically given to foreign nationals. So, according to the two likely options Trump has presented for Obama, he would have committed a felony. Either way, he would not be qualified to be President. What do you think? Is Obama hiding something? Why didnt he take the $50 million? 
1	As vacation season approaches and local Donnellan Family Funeral Services staff prepare for their summer breaks, mortuary director Gene Donnellan told reporters Friday that the last few embalmings he performs before vacation are typically pretty slapdash. To be perfectly honest, Im pretty much exhausted that whole week before Im off, so by the time I get to the last few bodies I usually end up overdoing the formaldehyde and skipping right to the cavity drainage, Donnellan said of his admittedly messy last-minute process, which, he added, is far from [his] best work but gets the job done. Look, if its six oclock on Friday and Ive got two weeks in the Virgin Islands ahead of me, its not like Im going to get to every toe. And then Ill just pack the anus and vagina with gauze to prevent seepage, put the bag of organs at the base of the casket, and call it a day. At press time, Donnellan was absentmindedly suturing a corpses mouth shut while thinking about what kind of tropical drink he was going to order. 
3	Biohackers: Future generations are going to grow up tinkering not with computers, but with life itselfBy Melissa Dykes I thought, Biohacking? Seriously? Yes, seriously. According toSputnik News and Foreign Policy, biohacking is no longer a science fictionconcept, and Google Director and transhumanist Ray Kurzweil claims it will be an everyday reality for us all real soon. Ill admit, initially my only reference to biohacking prior to looking into this (and I obviously have a lot to learn here) came froma video game I once played called Bioshock which allowed a gamer to, Biologically mod yourbody with plasmids genetic augmentations that empower you with dozens of fantastic abilities! That game came out in 2007, nearly a decade ago. Even then, I wondered to myself what it would be like to live in a world where only rich elites could afford such things. Talk about a literal breakaway civilization! Now the term is everywhere. Read what is being reported on biohacking these days (via Sputnik): The cool new edgything isnt hacking servers. Its hacking life. In fact, that article isnt even really about us hacking ourselves in a Bioshock way to begin with. Thats just the period on the end of a very long sentence titled, Scientists Plan to Genetically Engineer Animals to be Used by US Military. Its about the Secret of NIMH-esque horrors ongoing at DARPA for our burgeoning military-industrial complex. Lets continue: After realizing that it was too challenging tobuild aircraft that were that tiny and reliable, DARPA turned its attention toinsects, which are already abundant and engineered bynature tobe better thananything humans could make. DARPA has spent the pastdecade researching how humans can control insects and mammals throughelectronic impulses tothe brain, aswell asthrough genetic modifications tothe nervous systems ofinsects, Foreign Policy reports. The results have been surprisingly successful: Scientists can now hijack the brains ofbeetles and order them tostop, start, and turn, and are working onmore advanced directions. Scientists also are looking tocreate tech-integrated insects that can be controlled bydrone operators. Humans controlling insects and mammals throughelectronic impulses tothe brain sounds a lot like a modern-day MKUltra program, doesnt it? Oh, but theyd never do that, would they? Because theyre running such an ethical operation? Worse, everyone is apparently going to jump on the Dr. Frankenstein bandwagon. Gee, sounds fun. Doesnt anyone see a huge problem with this? Ironically, just last night we watched an episode of X-files where a genetic engineer who worked with reptile DNA transformed himself into a deadly, shapeshifting half-human, half-reptile who could climb walls and spit a blinding venom that slowly liquified his victims. Normally Id watch that as fiction but Melissa Dykes (formerly Melton) is a co-founder of TruthstreamMedia.com, where this article first appeared. She is an experienced researcher, graphic artist and investigative journalist with a passion for liberty and a dedication to truth. Her aim is to expose the New World Order for what it is a prison for the human soul from which we must break free.

3	Charlotte Riots Show Hallmarks Of George Soros OperationBy Joseph Jankowski OutFrontCNN (@OutFrontCNN) September 22, 2016 This is not Charlotte thats out here, Burnett said. These are outside entities that are coming in and causing these problems. These are not protesters, these are criminals. Weve got the instigators that are coming in from the outside. They were coming in on buses from out of state. If you go back and look at some of the arrests that were made last night. I can about say probably 70% of those had out-of-state IDs. Theyre not coming from Charlotte, he continued. This draws parallels with the Ferguson riots in late 2014 which were bankrolled by billionaire GeorgeSoros. As Zero Hedge reports: As The Washington Post notes: Theres a solitary man at the financial center of the Ferguson protest movement. No, its not victim Michael Brown or Officer Darren Wilson. Its not even the Rev. Al Sharpton, despite his ubiquitous campaign on TV and the streets. Rather, its liberal billionaire George Soros, who has built a business empire that dominates across the ocean in Europe while forging a political machine powered by nonprofit foundations that impacts American politics and policy, not unlike what he did with MoveOn.org. Mr. Soros spurred the Ferguson protest movement through years of funding and mobilizing groups across the U.S., according to interviews with key players and financial records reviewed by The Washington Times. Organizers from professional groups in Washington, D.C. and New York were bused into Ferguson to coordinate messaging and lobby to news media to cover events using the billionaires funding, the WaPo reported. The Soros money kept protesters on the street and in the media. The cash was reportedly funneled into keeping up numbers of protesters in the community over a period of months by bringing in outside activists. Meanwhile papers from think tanks were disseminated to bring in extra coverage of the civil unrest, also linked to the police killings of Eric Garner in Staten Island and Tamir Rice, 12, in Cleveland, Ohio. Bringing in outsiders to cause destabilization is a hallmark of a Soros operation. During the Wednesday night unrest in Charlotte, protesters were shouting black lives matter and hands up; dont shoot, exactly what was being said in Ferguson, Missouri during the unrest there in 2014 after officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown. The significanceof this is that George Soros has directly bankrolled Black Lives Matter. This was revealed to be true whenDCLeaks.com published Open Society Foundation (OSF) documents showing that the Sorosgroup had given at least $650,000 directly to BLM. Those same documents reveal the reason for OSF bankrolling BLM: the dismantling of America so that it can be recast according to the vision of Soros and his leftist cohorts, reported Mitchell Shall of The New American. Is this an attempt by Soros to further divide the American people on racial lines and create an environment of mistrust between law enforcement and the public? Or is the unrest in Charlotte a Soros plotto help his backed candidate in the presidential race, Hillary Clinton, by drawing the upcoming debate focus ondomestic division as opposed to all the scandals she has been caught up in? Soros has dumped $7 million into a super PAC supporting Clinton. You can read more from Joseph Jankowski at his site PlanetFreeWill.com, where this article first appeared. Between Soros and the Koch Brothers, the sheeple have been bought, sold and controlled. How many in America even know these names? Outside of those who have awakened, very few. Those that have drank the kool-ade look at these two as opposites and champions of their causes. Until this changes, nothing will. They are birds of a feather, co-conspiring criminals that will one day payhopefully before I die. Great insight. The Kochs also play both sides, currently funding a major Hispanic get out the vote program to support Hillary and despite the MSM characterizing the Kochs as working against establishment environmentalism, Charles Koch has been on the board of Earthwatch and the Aspen Institute, and donated to environmentalist Dem politicians. Their father Fred also worked both sides, having worked closely with Stalin and co-opted the John Birch Society. Around that time, the Ford Foundation backed the formation of La Raza. You hit the nail on the head. the Ford Foundation just gave black lives matter a huge donation. Thanks for the tip, much appreciated. Just like what Poppy Bush was alleged to have said: -That if the people of America really found out what we were actually up totheyd chase us all down the streets hang us all from the nearest lampposts.same goes for meddling NWO satanist Geo. Soroshaving the shameless chutzpah extreme arrogance to assume the future for us allbecause $$$ is Free Speech corporations can now spend unlimited amounts of $$$ lobbying congress even a non-citizen such as himself whos simply the Bag Man for the Rothschilds the Black Nobility.(imo) Poppy was Bush 41, just in case some may have thought of Prescottactually Grandpoppy. And the rest of your words are interesting reading. Thank you. They called him Poppy because he likes his daily Heroin imbibing (according to ex Pres.Secret Service agents, from deathbed confessions)cheers They called Bush Poppy because he likes his daily fix of heroinCheers Thanks, didnt know, cheers too. Skull and bones was started by the Russell Trust fund, the backers of the Opium Wars. Poppy, like junior was a member. Pirates, spies, slavers, thieves and murderers whose ancestors started the usurious banking system and legitimized themselves as government. They like to cross dress, too. How anybody can support these miscreants is beyond me. Parents that wouldnt let their children associate with children who lie, steal or vandalize are somehow perversely proud enough to send those very same children off to war for the worst drecks of humanity. They are a blight and a plague on the entire planet. Looking like the NWO is a day late and a dollar short again. After years of instigating they can not even conjure up Rodney King day size riots, let alone sixties style. Just not catching like it used to. Exactly. There only followers are too disenfranchised to take action, except for those that they pay per incident. They have the populace so divided, and so disillusioned that watching it on television is the most they can expect. And the Bloods and the Crips put the word out on the street to watch out for agitators. Theyre out of tricks. And they really only know one trick, anyway. They are forced to hire people just smart enough to follow orders, but too stupid to question them. The trouble with that is when those idiots decide to make an extra effort. They usually just end up exposing themselves and damaging the system. The truth is coming out because the few believers left dont realize the system is rotten to the core, and always was. Wherefore art thou Altaire, Ezio, Connorsand how much? What next, are you Sheeple going next blame the death of JFK on this man??? Get lost, Troll! So is this article bragging or complaining? If Soros is doing what it says he is, it matches exactly what US based NGOs do in other parts of the World on a regular and continuous basis. Is this article now saying what is good for the goose is also good for the gander, or is it complaining that what the US subjects the World to should not be used within its sacred boundaries? What is it? Satans serfs Soros/Rothschilds/Rockefeller in Action! I listened to three long interviews of George Soros recently, where GS expounded on his views of the refugee problems. I just wish some of the very intelligent and knowledgeable would respond to GS using his own words. When the hackers uncovered GSs 65 page playbook for President Obama (who liberally quotes therefrom), America had real evidence of the extent to which GS is leading the White House around by the nose. GS wants Hillary Clinton in the White House because shes already been bought and paid for. GS doesnt know how to bring Donald Trump to his knees, and thus, bully and cajole Trump into serving GS and his associates. However, all that being said, GS financed Proposition 215 in California in 1995-96, making the whole medical cannabis movement possible. A visionary, major drug dealer financed the unsuccessful 1970 and 1972 cannabis decriminalization propositions in California, which did remarkably well, and then went on to finance the recycling movement. After Proposition 215, GS then financed the Drug Policy Institute which continued to assist states in finding it in their hearts to make cannabis available for medical purposes, saving hundreds of thousands of suffering Americans, but it took 7 years for 2 more states to adopt medical cannabis laws. Many Americans have paid with the lives, tax dollars and lost their freedom because of the insanity of the so -called War Against Drugs. If Oxycontin is legal, then so should be medical cannabis laws. Even my 90 year old mothers life has been saved in the past 2 years because her doctor thought to get her on medical cannabis. So, whether George Soros is just looking to make another billion or two on the demise of America, GS has put his money in some of the right spots. I do not consider putting tens of millions of dollars into illegally signing up illegal aliens and non-US Citizens to vote is the right spot. Thats just plain illegal. Trump is one of the them, too. The only reason Trump is getting attacked by the republican establishment is because Clinton is getting no support, which they didnt consider. Nobody believes the polls, except for a few diehards. They cant afford to have a landslide victory for Trump, since voting is down to about 36%. It was supposed to be Clinton, with Trump acting like a spoiler for the republicans, but it looks like a majority of the last minute voters decided that whoever the media was against is the person to support. So, the fence sitters hit the primaries harder than the rigged voting machines accounted for, and the other republican sockpuppets got nuked out of the running. they need to have the illegals vote just so there is the appearance of public participation. Im not sure they can install Clinton, anymore. Trump is plan B for them. Why isnt there anyone, the government or the media, calling for Soros arrest? Because the government and the media work for the banksters, and soros is in cahoots with the banksters. The banksters ran the convention that resulted in the overthrow of the US government when they created the conjobstitution. patrick Henry warned about it in one of his anti federalist arguments. King, conscription, taxation and empire. He also warned about them using national security as a reason for secrecy. The present nation was created by a group of overwhelmingly masons (mostly bankers and lawyers) and was so bad that the first grass roots political movement, the anti masonic movement was formed by the mid 1820s, because the masons controlled both parties, and the corruption was obvious. It hasnt changed in the meantime, they just lied to you about it in school, because they run the school system. Your vote is solely to convince you that you have a voice. You do, but they dont listen to it. your vote only amuses them. They require our cooperation. They do nothing but give orders. quit cooperating with them to the greatest extent possible. Well said. Yes, I know that everything you say is true. Our voice doesnt count, but our actions, if we were to bravely undertake them, would speak a whole lot. The satanic unholy and compassion-less scum will promote HillBilary then when the rigged voting machines anoint her as potus she will become terminal and whisked away and the current no-name potus puppet will be in for a 3rd term, and declare a state of emergency, ie; marshal law. George Soros needs to be arrested immediately for inciting a riot! End of story. Since Obama and Hillary are in bed with BLM hopefully when Trump wins he can implement a Real American justice department and have all of these corrupt politicians and their lap dogs indicted and put on trial. The useful idiots will quiet down real fast! Though it is probably George Soros sponsored organizations, why hasnt anyone gone out and confirmed this? Maybe they have gourmet snack trucks, etc. What good would that do? If they all came on the same bus, then some flunky who chartered the bus would take the rap. If it gets close to anyone important, the connecting link would be eliminated. Thats why the CEO takes the fall when some corporation is damaged beyond repair like Enron. Ken Lay gets offed, and the board of directors, who would have fired Lay if he did anything they didnt like, all walk and end up buying Enron assets on the cheap to continue business as usual under another name, while the stock holders end up getting the shaft. How is George Soros and others allowed to do this??? Why hasnt he been arrested?? Isnt this like yelling fire in a theater?? Hes causing all this disruption not only in our country but others as well!! We know he will never be arrested caused hes Hillarys biggest contributor!! yeah right, like the epidemic of police shootings of unarmed people of color (Black, Brown Red) with non-indictment Blue wall of silence has nothing to do with mistrust of police and the government. Blame the peaceful protesters, blame the victims. Associate the legitimate protesters from the local community with outside agitators/agent provocatuers. The whole thing is over a hoax anyway. The videos from the shooting dont match up with each other. Its all designed to divide us. I dont know if Im allowed to link here, but I just did a full analysis on my channel if you want to see the evidence for yourselves. 
3	The Deep StateBy Doug Casey Im here to tell you that the inevitable became reality in 2008. Weve had an interlude over the last few years financed by trillions of new currency units. However, the economic clock on the wall is reading the same time as it was in 2007, and the Black Horsemen of your worst financial nightmares are about to again crash through the doors and end the party. And this time, they wont be riding childrens ponies, but armored Percherons. To refresh your memory, let me recount what a depression is. The best general definition is: A period of time when most peoples standard of living drops significantly. By that definition, the Greater Depression started in 2008, although historians may someday say it began in 1971, when real wages started falling. Its also a period of time when distortions and misallocations of capital are liquidated, and when the business cycle, which is caused exclusively by currency debasement, also known as inflation, climaxes. That results in high unemployment, business failures, uncompleted construction, bond defaults, stock market crashes, and the like. Fortunately, for those who benefit from the status quo, and members of something called the Deep State, the trillions of new currency units delayed the liquidation. But they also ensured it will now happen on a much grander scale. The Deep State is an extremely powerful network that controls nearly everything around you. You wont read about it in the news because it controls the news. Politicians wont talk about it publicly. That would be like a mobster discussing murder and robbery on the 6 oclock news. You could say the Deep State is hidden, but its only hidden in plain sight. The Deep State is the source of every negative thing thats happening right now. To survive the coming rough times, its essential for you to know what its all about. Now, what causes economic problems? With the exception of natural events like fires, floods, and earthquakes, theyre all caused directly and indirectly by the State, through its wars, taxes, regulations, and inflation. Yes, yes, I know this is an oversimplification, that human nature is really at fault, and the institution of the State is only a mass dramatization of the psychological aberrations and demons that lie within us all. But we dont have time to go all the way down the rabbit hole, so lets just talk about the proximate rather than the ultimate causes of the Greater Depression. And here, I want to talk about the nature of the State, in general, and then something called the Deep State, in particular. A key takeaway, and I emphasize that because I expect it to otherwise bounce off the programmed psyches of most people, is that the very idea of the State itself is poisonous, evil, and intrinsically destructive. But, like so many bad ideas, people have come to assume its part of the cosmic firmament, when its really just a monstrous scam. Its a fraud, like your belief that you have a right to free speech because of the First Amendment, or a right to be armed because of the Second Amendment. No, you dont. The U.S. Constitution is just an arbitrary piece of paperentirely apart from the fact the whole thing is now just a dead letter. You have a right to free speech and to be armed because theyre necessary parts of being a free person, not because of what a political document says. Even though the essence of the State is coercion, people have been taught to love and respect it. Most people think of the State in the quaint light of a grade school civics book. They think it has something to do with We the People electing a Jimmy Stewart character to represent them. That ideal has always been a pernicious fiction, because it idealizes, sanitizes, and legitimizes an intrinsically evil and destructive institution, which is based on force. As Mao once said, political power comes out of the barrel of a gun. But things have gone far beyond that. Were now in the Deep State. The concept of the Deep State originated in Turkey, which is appropriate, since its the heir to the totally corrupt Byzantine and Ottoman empires. And in the best Byzantine manner, the Deep State has insinuated itself throughout the fabric of what once was America. Its tendrils reach from Washington down to every part of civil society. Like a metastasized cancer, it can no longer be easily eradicated. I used to joke that there was nothing wrong with Washington that 10 megatons on the capital couldnt cure. But I dont say that anymore. Partially because its too dangerous, but mainly because its now untrue. Whats now needed is 10 megatons on the capital, and four more bursts in a quadrant 10 miles out. In many ways, Washington models itself after another city with a Deep State, ancient Rome. Heres how a Victorian freethinker, Winwood Reade, accurately described it: Rome lived upon its principal till ruin stared it in the face. Industry is the only true source of wealth, and there was no industry in Rome. By day the Ostia road was crowded with carts and muleteers, carrying to the great city the silks and spices of the East, the marble of Asia Minor, the timber of the Atlas, the grain of Africa and Egypt; and the carts brought out nothing but loads of dung. That was their return cargo. The Deep State controls the political and economic essence of the U.S. This is much more than observing that theres no real difference between the left and right wings of the Demopublican Party. Its well known by anyone with any sense (that is, by everybody except the average voter) that although the Republicans say they believe in economic freedom (but dont), they definitely dont believe in social freedom. And the Democrats say they believe in social freedom (but dont), but they definitely dont believe in economic freedom. The American Deep State is a real, but informal, structure that has arisen to not just profit from, but control, the State. The Deep State has a life of its own, like the government itself. Its composed of top-echelon employees of a dozen Praetorian agencies, like the FBI, CIA, and NSAtop generals, admirals, and other military operativeslong-term congressmen and senatorsand directors of important regulatory agencies. But Deep State is much broader than just the government. It includes the heads of major corporations, all of whom are heavily involved in selling to the State and enabling it. That absolutely includes Silicon Valley, although those guys at least have a sense of humor, evidenced by their Dont Be Evil motto. It also includes all the top people in the Fed, and the heads of all the major banks, brokers, and insurers. Add the presidents and many professors at top universities, which act as Deep State recruiting centersall the top media figures, of courseand many regulars at things like Bohemian Grove and the Council on Foreign Relations. They epitomize the status quo, held together by power, money, and propaganda. Altogether, Ill guess these people number a thousand or so. You might analogize the structure of the Deep State with a huge pack of dogs. The people Ive just described are the top dogs. But there are hundreds of thousands more who arent at the nexus, but who directly depend on them, have considerable clout, and support the Deep State because it supports them. This includes many of the wealthy, especially those who got that way thanks to their State connectionsthe 1.5 million people who have top secret clearances (thats a shocking, but accurate, number) plus top players in organized crime, especially the illegal drug business, little of which would exist without the State. Plus mid-level types in the police and military, corporations, and non-governmental organizations. These are what you might call the running dogs. Beyond that are the scores and scores of millions who depend on things remaining the way they are. Like the 50%-plus of Americans who are net recipients of benefits from the Statethe 60 million on Social Securitythe 66 million on Medicaidthe 50 million on food stampsthe many millions on hundreds of other programs the 23 million government employees and most of their families. In fact, lets include the many millions of average Joes and Janes who are just getting by. You might call this level of people, the vast majority of the population, whipped dogs. They both love and fear their master, theyll do as theyre told, and theyll roll over on their backs and wet themselves if confronted by a top dog or running dog who feels theyre out of line. These three types of dogs make up the vast majority of the U.S. population. I trust you arent among them. I consider myself a Lone Wolf in this context and hope you are, too. Unfortunately, however, dogs are enemies of wolves, and tend to hunt them down. The Deep State is destructive, but its great for the people in it. And, like any living organism, its prime directive is: Survive! It survives by indoctrinating the fiction that its both good and necessary. However, its a parasite that promotes the ridiculous notion that everyone can live at the expense of society. Is it a conspiracy, headed by a man stroking a white cat? I think not. I find its hard enough to get a bunch of friends to agree on what movie to see, much less a bunch of power-hungry miscreants bent on running everyones lives. But, on the other hand, the top dogs all know each other, went to the same schools, belong to the same clubs, socialize, and, most important, have common interests, values, and philosophies. The American Deep State rotates around the Washington Beltway. It imports Americas wealth as tax revenue. A lot of that wealth is consumed there by useless mouths. And then, it exports things that reinforce the Deep State, including wars, fiat currency, and destructive policies. This is unsustainable simply because nothing of value comes out of the city. Editors note: Doug Casey literally wrote the book on profiting during an economic crisis. And if his predictions about the coming crisis are true, you wont want to miss out.

3	Will Insurance Companies Use Smart Appliances to Monitor Unhealthy Habits?Daniel Taylor Consumer appliances are now becoming activated and smart. RFID chips and wireless Internet connections enable devices like televisions, refrigerators, printers, and computers to communicate with each other and generally make life easier for us. This comes at a price, however. Your privacy is eliminated. A detailed multi-dimensional image of our daily lives will be built with this system. Individuals to entire group dynamics will be tracked. It will be unparalleled in history. Everything from daily travel routes to eating habits will be traceable. Every day objects will be transmitting data 24/7. Now, insurance companies are anticipating this hyper-connected future. Will they spy on your eating habits and hike your health insurance costs? Your company already knows whether youve been taking your meds, getting your teeth cleaned and going for regular medical checkups. Now some employers or their insurance companies are tracking what staffers eat, where they shop and how much weight theyre putting on and taking action to keep them in line. In the November-December issue of The Futurist, Richard Yonck writes, In a world of total connectivity, the rate at which a household consumes sugar, salt, tobacco, and alcohol would potentially be an open book to insurers seeking to control costs. With the Internet of Things, spying on unhealthy habits will be a cinch. Wi-Fi enabled refrigerators will read RFID tags on grocery products that are placed your fridge, and in turn send that data to the Internet cloud. Are you eating a government-approved diet? Taking your meds? If not, you will be paying a price for it in this nightmarish science fiction future that is soon to be science fact.

1	With moderate fanfare, Arby's apologetically unveiled its new Beef 'N' Bacon sandwich Monday, calling the uninspired menu addition 'pretty so-so' and 'more of the same.' Arby's president Donald Forst hesitantly introduces the new menu item. 'America, Arby's is cooking up something brand-new,' said Donald Forst, president of the fast-food chain. 'Just don't hold a parade or anything. This, regrettably, is just another sandwich.' The Beef 'N' Bacon, which makes its debut Aug. 15 at Arby's restaurants nationwide, features thinly sliced roast beef topped with crispy strips of bacona combination Forst described as 'somehow lacking a truly special element.' 'Let us be clear: This sandwich is by no means bad,' Forst said. 'But we'd be lying if we said this was a great sandwich or a particularly original one. Though we have little doubt that a handful of people will love the Beef 'N' Bacon, for us to claim that we've come up with a groundbreaking new sandwich sensation would be absurd. Boasts of that measure would be foolhardy and deceptive, especially in light of the fact that Arby's has introduced much better sandwiches in the past.' 'Like the Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwich,' Forst said. 'Now, that is an amazing sandwich. I could eat two of those right now.' Salivating at the thought of the Chicken Cordon Bleu, Forst returned to the subject at hand. 'So, you know, try the new Beef-Bacon thing with an order of our delicious Cheddar Curly Fries and a Jamocha shake,' he said. 'If you had the fries and the shake with it, that would make for a pretty good meal.' A print ad for the new sandwich. According to Marianne Shepherd, Arby's vice-president of product development, the new sandwich was the result of a long testing process that 'just didn't hit a home run this time.' 'When we here in the Arby's family got to brainstorming new sandwiches, we figured a combination of Arby's delicious, hot roast beef, crispy bacon, and fresh lettuce and tomatoes, topped with a zesty pepper-jack sauce on a fluffy Kaiser bun, would be a winner,' Shepherd said. 'But somehow, the end result was, well, edible, obviously, or we wouldn't sell it, and possibly even savory or delectable to someone who is very hungry. But great? Certainly not. In the final analysis, our Beef 'N' Bacon sandwich is merely 'good.' But, hey, meat is meat.' Continued Forst: 'I think the upshot of what we're saying is, if you love sandwiches of all kinds, then here is something moderately different that you might like to try. If, however, you are sick and tired of 'the same old sandwich,' then by all means steer clear of the Beef 'N' Bacon. Instead, maybe try the Arby's Big Montana sandwich, if you've never had one of those. Or just go to a different restaurant.' The Beef 'N' Bacon was then ceremonially 'launched' by being brought out on a domed platter and served to Forst, who took a single bite from the sandwich and promptly requested a beverage. 'We also introduce new sandwiches in the spring,' said Forst, spitting out a chunk of iceberg lettuce. 'Wait until then. Next spring's offering should be really exciting. A lot better than the Beef 'N' Bacon, I'm willing to bet.' Arby's efforts to develop a marketing campaign for the new sandwich have proven difficult, given the dearth of noteworthy attributes to emphasize. 'We considered the tagline 'The Sandwich Lovers' Sandwich,'' Arby's director of advertising Bill Plunkett said. 'But, then, we figured that could backfire: If we overhyped it, regular customers might lose their trust in us, and first-time customers might mistakenly think it was the best Arby's had to offer and never try anything else.' The Arby's marketing team eventually settled on a billboard campaign centering on a pair of slogans, 'Same Shit, Different Bun' and 'Beef. Bacon. There Ya Go.' Also planned is a series of TV commercials featuring blues legend B.B. King tasting the sandwich and exclaiming, 'That's Food, Baby.' 
2	BREAKING: Judge Orders Investigation Into Obamas Fake Social Security Number According to recent reports, it appears the President Obama may finally be facing his day in court for accusations that he falsified his birth certificate and used another Americans Social Security number as his own. Allegedly, the SSN used by Barack Obama actually belongs to Harrison Bounel of Connecticut, although the SSA claims to have lost all documents related to that number. Now, a Maryland judge is actually calling for Obama to answer some lingering questions about his birth, and demanding that the federal government respond to the fraud. Reports indicate that Judge Hollander has subpoenaed all documents from the Social Security Administration that related to either Bounels or Obamas SSN. If the government still fails to provide records, individual employees will start to be held responsible. What do you think? Will Obama officially be busted or will Democrats find a way to defend him? 
3	Five Steps to Help Protect the 2nd AmendmentBy Michael Boldin BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE if people stop relying on the federal courts to protect their rights, this will never ever be over. As James Madison recommended in Federalist #46, states and individuals should employ a refusal to cooperate with officers of the Union, as one of four steps that make up a FIRST RESPONSE to the federal government. (learn more here) The STATE-level 2nd Amendment Preservation Act is an essential first step to draw a line in the sand on any new federal gun control proposals. Passing in multiple states will ensure their plans dont get off the ground. From there, we can build and work for the next steps refuse, reject, resist and nullify ALL federal gun control, including the acts of 1934 and 1968. Take these steps today: Michael Boldin [send him email] is the founder of the Tenth Amendment Center, where this article first appeared. He was raised in Milwaukee, WI, and currently resides in Los Angeles, CA.Follow him on twitter @michaelboldin, on LinkedIn, and on Facebook. Faith in the Second Amendment is misplaced. Think about it: The Amendment WITH the wording shall not be infringed is the MOST infringed, licensed, and limited Amendment of the entire twenty seven. Furthermore, a future generation of our posterity is likely to see the Second Amendment whittled away entirely or repealed altogether. This is inherent nature and danger of optional Enlightenment rights versus non-optional Biblical responsibilities, such as the following: Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword [or todays equivalent in their hand; to execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye Yah. (Psalm 149:6-9) But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house [including spiritual and physical protection], he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

2	Feminists Attack Ivanka Trump For Unthinkable Reason... Watch What Happens To Them In a recent article, Cosmopolitan magazine told the story of a 29-year-old girl who allegedly suffered from PTSD when she saw Ivanka Trumps clothing line while shopping. She was in Ledford, was checking out a black blouse with a strip down the center when, suddenly, she felt like her throat was closing and she couldnt breathe, the article recalls. The shopper claims that when she saw the Ivanka Trump label, she had flashbacks to Trumps leaked audio from 2005. My first through was, Grab them by the p*ssy, Ledford told Cosmo. We can do anything we want. Dont even ask. The blouse was triggering traumatic flashbacks to physical abuse shed suffered in the past, and to times shed been grabbed or groped by men without her consent, the magazine continued. The article is coming at a time when many feminists supporting Hillary have decided to boycott Ivankas brand. Ivanka Trump is not shaken, however. Her sales are at an all time high, increasing by $11.8 million in the last 6 months. What do you think? Is this article absolutely absurd? 
3	Powerful Protests Against Chevron and Fracking in RomaniaBy Joe Wright Fracking has gone beyond a contentious issue as study after study has not only called into question the health and environmental safety of the practice, but studies have even linked fracking to earthquakes and other regional earth changes. The video below shows Romanian villagers squaring off against the enforcers of the corporatist theft of their land in collusion with the local mayor and higher government. The passion, sorrow and strength of resistance is unmistakable, as is the eloquence of those who appear to describe their motivations for fighting against a seemingly insurmountable horde of foreign invaders. Its the same fight we all share. As stated: 93% of the people are against Chevrons intrusion, yet peaceful protest was met with violence. It is a reminder to continue working even harder, and remember not to submit to divide-and-conquer strategies that seek to thwart humanitys awakening and unification. While we might desire national sovereignty and rugged individualism, we need to strengthen our cooperative efforts against this common threat. Please share this powerful video as a template for the spirit of resistance that should be called upon anywhere on the planet that such blatant injustice takes hold. Lastly, its important to realize that the corporation involved, Chevron, has a history of environmental destruction. To read more about their exploits, see the following: Recently by Joe Wright:

'We looked everywhere,' said relieved wife Harriet Osmund, who became alarmed when Warren failed to rendezvous with her and daughters Kelly and Erika at 3 p.m. at the lower-level JCPenney entrance. 'I checked Ritz Camera and Gander Mountain, Kelly checked Babbage's and Champs Sports, and Erika checked the food court, but he wasn't anywhere. I'm just glad we found him safe and sound.' Warren said he was never in any physical danger, explaining that he was 'just killing time watching the Indians game while the gals looked for shoes.'

'Old policies failed to reward the world's children for dreaming big, but no longerchildren with special or unusual wants shall see them all fulfilled on Christmas morning,' Kringle said, in an announcement met with strong support from parents of the developmentally entitled. 'My children were all born with special wants,' said Glenda Froman, mother of three. 'After years of whiny suffering, they'll finally have their wish: Xbox 360s in every room, matching ponies, and a rocket-powered bicycle they're allowed to fly inside the house.'

'That's why we want a slate of projects that will out-dumb the dumb shows like Whoopi, The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, and The Next Joe Millionaire.' ABC's pilot orders for Fall 2004 include The Naked Ladies, Extreme Explosions, and America's Shiniest Objects. 
1	Gingerly stepping around several of the largest wet patches on the floor, local Indians fan Mark Freel reportedly assured himself Tuesday that at least some of the liquid covering the ground of the mens bathroom at Progressive Field was most likely water. Its probably just water from the sink that trickled over here, or maybe from a leaky pipe somewhere, Freel reportedly thought while averting his gaze from the quarter-inch puddle of opaque liquid that stretched from the sinks to the urinal trough. And I bet its only that color because it got mixed with the dirt on the floor. Yeah, thats...thats probably it. At press time, Freel was attempting to convince himself that whatever dripped on his arm when he was exiting the bathroom was clean and perfectly harmless. 
1	In a rare instance of icy-cold January weather, much of the Northeast awoke Tuesday morning to find itself buried under nearly 1.5 inches of snowfall. 'This is really bizarre,' said Syracuse resident Mary Baloh, who noted that her garden was doing very well until the unexpected weather struck. 'I've seen some freak weather in my lifetime, but this definitely tops them all.' 'It's like Christmas in January,' Baloh added. According to the National Weather Service, the temperature, which plummeted to an unseasonably cold 31 degrees, is supposed to linger at the freezing mark over the next several days. The inclement conditions have forced school cancellations, shut down federal and state office buildings, closed municipal pools, and put a damper on common seasonal activities such as barbecues and beach volleyball games. A family of accidental snow bunnies trade in their swim trunks for sleds in Burlington, VT. Still, a few adventuresome individuals ventured outside to frolic in the strangely still, white scene, donning cross-country skis, thick boots, and other accessories more appropriate for Alpine climes than the northeastern United States. 'Look, you can almost make a snowball,' said 17-year-old Theo Baldesseri in Pittsburgh's Riverview Park. 'My older cousin told me about stuff like this happening when he was a kid, but I always thought he was just making it up.' The weather is being blamed for hundreds of accidents throughout the tri-state region of Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. Near Paramus, NJ, nearly two dozen vehicles were involved in a pile-up caused by a dusting of snow on the Garden State Parkway. Even in normally balmy Stowe, VT, the annual Fun In The Sun 10K Run Against Muscular Dystrophy had to be canceled. 'I had my whole weekend plannedI was going to go play my usual nine holes at the club, catch some rays, and take a dip in the river,' said Bangor, ME resident Richard Horner, who had to retrieve his sweater from his attic. 'I moved up here to get away from this kind of weather.' Authorities are recommending that citizens of the Northeast stay indoors until streets are cleared and conditions begin to normalize. Massachusetts Highway Patrol spokesman Chris Jarvis said that the snowfall caught road crews completely off-guard. 'When you have unexpected flurries like this, the most important thing is to stay warm, dry, and safe,' Jarvis said. 'It's going to take a while to get all the snowplows and salt on the road because everything's in storage.' By mid-afternoon Tuesday, snow clouds had cleared and the skies were sunny. However, the dangerous conditions had not lessened; Philadelphia reported a low of 30 degrees, with a brisk wind chill of 27. The well-below-average temperatures will undoubtedly have an adverse financial impact on regional businesses such as miniature golf courses, batting cages, go-cart tracks, and ice-cream parlors. 'I haven't had to close the drive-in in January for many years,' said Harold Fitch, owner of Fitch's Park & Watch Theater in Warwick, RI. 'Each week is a fight to stay in the black anyhow, and to take a hit like this during the busy season could shut us down permanently.' 'Global warming?' Brewster, MA water-ski instructor Brock Gilpin said. 'Sure doesn't feel like it to me.' According to Weather Channel meteorologist Stephanie Abrams, the nippy weather should not be a cause for concern among residents of the Northeast. 'Spring temperatures are still expected to reach into the upper 140s,' Abrams said. 
2	PBJ Deemed Racist Ladies and gentlemen, we now live in a world where lunch sandwiches can be deemed racist. You heard that right; according to Principal Verenice Guiterrez of Harvey Scott K-8 School in Portland, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are racist. Guiterrez claims that she intends to improve education for students of color. Part of these efforts includes increasing cultural sensitivity, and PB J raises an issue because it is on bread. According to Guiterrez Somali or Hispanic students may not have culturally eaten bread, but instead torta or pitas. Ridiculously, this led her to conclude that the school must change their teaching practices to cancel our white privilege. What do you think of this approach? Is this beyond absurd?

At some point during the home invasion, the homeowner walked into the garage that Gonzales was in, and prompted a physical struggle. Gonzales then produced a gun, which the homeowner wrestled away from him. He then issued a brutal beating to the criminal for messing with his property. After he was arrested, authorities discovered that Gonzales was actually Jose Andres Martinez, a Mexican national who was in the United States illegally. He was one of many who are using a false identity to stay in this country illegally. Martinez had crossed the border numerous times before, and had been caught at least twice. Reporters believe he may have had up to 8 different ideas on him at the time of arrest. Watch the video below and tell us what you think?

1	Over a 20-year period, they saw their neighborhood deteriorate from a colorful pastiche of hard-working immigrants to an earthly hell of gang violence and terror. But when it came to putting up or moving out, one plucky group of senior citizens in the Fairfield section of Los Angeles decided age wouldn't stand in the way of protecting their community. Edele Parks, machine gunned; Bud Parks, brained with 40-ounce bottle of malt liquor; Harvey Pell, run over by Buick; and Lila Johns, slipped on own hat. The enterprising seniors formed a community watchdog group called 'Seniors Against Gangs,' and boldly took their message to the street. Taking a brisk three-block walk from the senior center to a known gang hangout, a vacant lot near an abandoned Asian grocery, the seniors faced the gangs head on. 'Stop terrorizing our neighborhoods!' Stan Grewsilski, 88, demanded. Grewsilski, who served in our nation's armed forces during World War II, was swiftly seized by four gang members and stabbed 12 times in the kidney with a rusty screwdriver. But the surviving seniors were undaunted. Though one, Rose Freuknes, fell faint, the others turned and fled while continuing to reprimand the gang members. 'Aaah! No!' Gladys Rankin shouted as she was tripped and quickly surrounded by a dozen young gang bangers. 'Stop! Please!' Harv Brenuisi pleaded. Both were anally raped amid gang taunts, then pulverized with machine-gun fire. The last senior to die, Thelma Frekjs, was chained to a stolen Buick and dragged through the city. Fairfield's remaining 113 seniors mobilized in a manner reminiscent of the old days. At 8 p.m., as the Fairfield Senior Center's annual rendition of Showboat let out onto Jackson Street, Mickey O'Donoghue saw Marco's Corner Market being held up. This, in combination with the recent 'Seniors Against Gangs,' inspired him to take action. Along with the rest of the emerging crowd, O'Donoghue, who was wheelchair-bound and only maintained use of his left arm above the wrist, raced across the street to confront the hoods. The seniors decided to make a stand, emboldened by the fact that they outnumbered the gang members 113 to five. And for a while, it looked like they might just win. Television cameras captured such moving images as two seniors, Myrtle Laine and Bea Rifkin, holding down one punk and hitting him with oversized handbags. The Senior Center next to the convenience store was abuzz with energy for the first time in years, even if only for the 28-minute duration of the battle. The tide inevitably turned, as other gangs came upon the scene and joined the fracas. Instead of trying to smite their rival gang members, they joined forces with them, creating an all-out Battle of the AgesTM. Even with their organizational prowess and sense of purpose, the seniors were no match for the strength and numbers of the nine gangs that assembled in Fairfield. In fact, the seniors' uprising led the gangs to work together for a common cause for the first time in years. According to one gang member, seeing who could take out the most elderly became a friendly competition between rivals. 'I realized that I have more in common with the 99th Street Killaz than I previously thought,' said Luis Guerrero, a member of the rival Huevos Rancheros gang. 'I mean, after all, aren't we all brothers?' Meanwhile, family members of the slain mourned their collective loss. 'My father, God rest his soul, came to this country alone, moved to Fairfield, and worked 63 years in a shoe factory,' said Ronald Michaels, son of Hans Mikelveck, 91. 'Fortunately, I moved away from Fairfield after college, and, you know, with the way rent is these days, there just wasn't room for him in my house.' 
1	Noting that the dozens of rambling, overly excited posts date all the way back to when the clip was first uploaded in early 2011, sources confirmed Thursday that every comment below a YouTube video of the famed 1972 Immaculate Reception football play was clearly written by Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Fame running back Franco Harris. Hands down THE best play in NFL history, read a post left at 3:45 a.m. by YouTube user FHarris32, whose avatar appears to be a recent photo of Harris wearing his four Super Bowl rings on both hands. This is what started the Steel Curtain dynasty and helped create one of the greatest teams of all-time. I still cant believe I caught the ball like that after it was knocked down. Go Steelers!!!! At press time, a long, largely incoherent rant disputing the bullshit catch had been posted by a YouTube account suspected to belong to former Oakland Raiders safety Jack Tatum. 
1	Gabe Kloster, a 32-year-old Queens-based entrepreneur, expressed fear Monday that he may be unable to sell his remaining inventory of 40,000 urinal cakes bearing an image of Osama bin Laden between a pair of crosshairs. Kloster displays one of the thousands of novelty urinal cakes (right) that sit in his warehouse. 'A few months back, I couldn't make them fast enough,' said Kloster, who supplies news- and pop-culture-related novelty products to discount stores and street vendors in the New York area. 'Now I can't get rid of the goddamn things.' Kloster came up with the idea for bin Laden urinal cakes a few days after Sept. 11. 'I saw that guys on the Internet were already selling Osama bin Laden dartboards, toilet paper, trash cans, and kitty-pan liners, so I thought people would get a kick out of having the chance to piss on him,' Kloster said. 'Besides, I knew a guy in Paramus who could do the printing real cheap.' On Sept. 20, Kloster moved forward with an initial run of 2,000 urinal cakes, which sold out in just three days. He subsequently upped the run to 15,000, and by early October, the product had proven so popular that he decided to halt the manufacture of all other novelty items to focus exclusively on the cherry-scented, terrorist-decorated cakes. 'The sports bars loved them,' Kloster said. 'Paddy O'Lantern's, this bar near my house, even put a sign on the men's-room door saying 'Target PracticeThis Way.' That same week, a newspaper in Hartford called to say they were interested in doing a story on [the cakes]. They never wound up doing one, but it was obvious I was on to something.' Bin Laden Urinal Cake Encouraged by the positive response, Kloster raised the production run to 50,000 in early November. Unfortunately, interest soon began to wane. Since the beginning of December, Kloster has only sold 141 cakes, a 97 percent drop-off from his early-October sales peak. 'Bush said this war could drag on for years, so I quadrupled production, figuring the market would be hot for a while,' Kloster said. 'But then the Northern Alliance started capturing huge chunks of Afghanistan from the Taliban, and people here began to calm down a little. The last few weeks, with the war going so well, sales have really been in the shitter.' 'Hopefully, bin Laden will do something else to really piss America off,' Kloster continued. 'I mean, I don't want another terrorist attack on the U.S., but maybe he could give us the finger or call us some really bad name. Short of something like that, I'm fucked.' A bar-goer in Garden City, NY, takes aim on the Saudi-born terrorist. Li Chang, a street vendor on Canal Street in New York's Chinatown, said he does not plan to order any more of the urinal cakes. 'In October, first time I order, I sell out very fast. In November, I order more, but it take longer to sell,' Li said. 'Now, I don't want no more. People still mad at [bin Laden], but not like before.' John Traber, owner of J.T.'s Touchdown Bar & Grill in Lyndhurst, NJ, also does not intend to reorder. 'This is kind of gross, but drunk guys kept stealing them out of the urinals to keep as souvenirs,' Traber said. '[Kloster] was charging four times as much for the bin Laden cakes as you'd pay for regular ones, and I couldn't afford to keep replacing them, so I decided to go back to the regular kind.' Added Traber: 'They had way too strong a cherry smell, anyway. Made the bathroom stink like perfume. Who wants to be overpowered by some sweet, fruity odor when you're taking a leak?' Despite the inventory surplus, which could cost Kloster upwards of $70,000, the entrepreneur is feeling positive about his next venture. 'I got a really sweet deal on these framed posters of an American eagle crying in front of the Stars and Stripes... 25 cents each from this distributor in Ohio who needed to unload them fast,' Kloster said. 'I think I'll combine the Osama cakes with the posters as sort of a commemorative 'God Bless America' war-souvenir package.' 
2	BREAKING: Entire U.S. Senate DESTROYS Obama With 100According to recent reports, the upper house just voted 100 to 0 on an amendment that would require Irans government to sign an agreement that they will never build atomic weapons. The action may force President Obama to change his course of action. Reports indicate that former Obama cabinet officials themselves can recognize that Iranians have never been able to negotiate in a trustworthy fashion. The amendment would impose sanctions on Iran if they were found to be in noncompliance of the agreement. One thing Ive learned both at the CIA and as Secretary of Defense is that the Iranians cant be trusted, Leon Panetta, the head of the CIA under Obama told MSNBC. Its for that reason that we have to make sure that weve taken strong steps to be able to make sure that they are not trying to do something in secret. What do you think? Is it clear that Iran should not be trusted to uphold agreements? Is Obama once again showing his ignorance when it comes to foreign policy? 
2	What Obama Just Said About The California Shooting Will Make You Sick [VIDEO] Leave it to President Obama to leverage Americas tragedies to fuel his own agenda. Following yesterdays shootings in San Bernardino, California, Obama chose once again to push his beliefs on gun control. Just moments after news broke of the shootings, Obama was on camera calling for common sense gun safety laws. We dont yet know what the motives of the shooters are but what we do know is that there are steps we can take to make Americans safer, Obama said in his interview. We should never think that this is just something that just happens in the ordinary course of events because it doesnt happen with the same frequency in other countries. He continued on to claim that the frequency of mass shootings in the United States has no parallel anywhere else in the world. Of course, those claims are false, but we already know that Obama has no problem lying to the American public. Make no mistake, the shootings in San Bernardino were tragic, and resulted in the death and injury of more than 20 people. Law enforcement are still on the lookout for suspects who are believed to be armed with AK-47 weapons. Rather than mourn the loss of the victims, Obama decided to leverage the opportunity to brainwash fearful Americans. This is not his first time doing this. Just recently during the Planned Parenthood shootings, Obama said: I say this every time we go on one of these mass shootings, this just doesnt happen in other countries. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do we need a real President in the White House and not a manipulative dictator?

1	According to a study released Tuesday by the University of Georgia's Institute For Social Research, a strong link exists between nonconformity and peer pressure among teenagers and young adults. Non-comformists Commissioned in 1995 to examine the growing trend of nonconformity among 13- to 21-year-olds, the three-year study found that 85 percent of U.S. youths actively defy standard societal normsadopting 'alternative' modes of language, behavior and dressas a means of winning the acceptance and approval of their peers. 'Kids today are told, over and over, by their classmates, their siblings, and images on TV and in magazines, that normal, mainstream behavior isn't 'cool,'' institute director and study co-chair Iris Evantine said. 'The message these kids are receiving is: 'C'mon, don't you want to be different like us?' Sadly, kids who resist these pressures to be different are usually ostracized. For the average teenager these days, the pressure not to do what everyone else does is enormous, and often unbearable.' 'I'd really like to be normal and conform, because, at heart, I'm not a risk-taker at all,' said Grand Rapids, MI, high-school sophomore Christine Kornowicz. 'But if I want to fit in, I have to be different. If you don't stick out, everyone at school makes fun of you.' 'I've started wearing all black, painting my nails, and shaving my head, just to fit in,' said Jonathan Auger, a Binghamton, NY, high-school junior. 'You can't understand how hard it is for a young person not to make waves these days.' The trend of nonconformitywhich soared to mass popularity in the late 1960s before eventually tapering off in the '80shas experienced a resurgence in popularity since 1991, when Nirvana's Nevermind album generated nationwide interest in the nonconformist Seattle 'grunge-music scene' and its surrounding alternative culture. In the years since, those who have chosen to remain within mainstream society have become virtual pariahs. 'Today, nonconformity is everywhere,' Evantine said. 'From the Piercing Hut in the suburban mall to the fast-growing, 'radical,' multi million-dollar business of snowboarding, all of America is not going along with the crowd.' While nonconformity is most prevalent among youths, the trend has spilled over into older groups, as well. 'We are finding a shockingly high rate of nonconformity across virtually all age groups, particularly the 40- to 55-year-old middle-class white-male demographic,' Evantine said. According to Institute For Social Research statistics, 38 percent of middle-aged males are defying society's rule that men be prohibited from wearing ponytails; 51 percent regularly wear denim or leather garments, long regarded by the mainstream as bold and unconventional; and 73 percent listen to such nonconformist alternative-rock groups as The Wallflowers, Counting Crows and Oasis. Additionally, the defiant, iconoclastic fashion statement of earrings has now reached an epidemic level of 89 percent among 40- to 55-year-old men. Evantine noted that, due to the boom in nonconformity, the percentage of Americans who currently make up the 'mainstream' stands at an alarmingly low 7 percent. 'We should all be grateful to the precious few who have stuck to their guns and conformed, even at the cost of exclusion from the vast majority,' Evantine said. 'And we must pray that they continue to conform, for without this tiny group of people, there would be no one to rebel against.' The institute's report, which has been condemned as 'subversive' by such powerful nonconformist institutions as MTV, Pepsico, Urban Outfitters and 1-800-COLLECT, concluded with a call for increased public willingness to rebel against rebelliousness. 'Now, more than ever, we must have the courage to stand up and embrace the norm, no matter how marginalized we may become in doing so,' the report read. 'We must be brave enough to walk the road less travelled and conform.'

3	Federal Mandatory GMO Labeling Bill Blocked by SenateBy Derrick Broze The legislation, introduced by Senator Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) in late February, would create a federal voluntary standard for labeling genetically modified or engineered ingredients, and block mandatory labeling efforts by states. Genetically modified or engineered seeds are engineered to have certain traits, such as resistance to herbicides. The majority of the United States corn and soybean crops are now GE, including a large portion that is used for animal feed. Senate Bill 2609, or the Biotech Labeling Solutions Act, failed to reach the 60 votes needed during a procedural vote, with 49 votes in favor and 48 votes against. The bill would amend the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 to require the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a national voluntary labeling standard for bioengineered foods. Roberts bill is similar to the controversial Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act, which passed the House in June 2015. To critics, the bill was known as the DARK (Deny Americans the Right to Know) Act because the law would have effectively nullified GE labeling measures, such as the bill recently passed in Vermont. The Vermont law is scheduled to take effect July 2016. Senator Roberts bill would prevent the Vermont bill from becoming law. Lawmakers say that a new bill is necessary to avoid a patchwork of laws that vary from state to state. Maine and Connecticut have also passed laws requiring labeling, but those measures will not go into effect until bordering states also pass legislation. Reuters writes: The proposed legislation from Republican Senator Pat Roberts of Kansas comes amid growing calls for transparency in the U.S. food supply. Labeling advocates have criticized the bill as toothless because it leaves the decision to disclose GMO ingredients to the companies whose products contain them. Reuters also notes that Whole Foods Market Inc, Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc and Campbell Soup Co and other companies have begun voluntarily labeling products with genetically engineered ingredients. Perhaps the companies recognize that involving the U.S. government will only create more problems, especially when the government is so heavily interlaced with biotechnology companies like Monsanto. Although the bills are being touted as a way to avoid a patchwork of various laws by cities and states, the true objective seems to be establishing federal control over what information Americans will receive about genetically modified foods. This latest attempt may have stalled but Senator Roberts and other GMO-friendly politicians will not give up their efforts, especially with Vermonts law scheduled to go into effect in just four months.

3	Who Is Behind The Oil War, And How Low Will The Price Of Crude Go In 2015?Michael Snyder As you will see below, some analysts believe that it could ultimately go below 20 dollars a barrel. If we see anything even close to that, the U.S. economy could lose millions of good paying jobs, billions of dollars of energy bonds could default and we could see trillions of dollars of derivatives related to the energy industry implode. The global financial system is already extremely vulnerable, and purposely causing the price of oil to crash is one of the most deflationary things that you could possibly do. Whoever is behind this oil war is playing with fire, and by the end of this coming year the entire planet could be dealing with the consequences. Ever since the price of oil started falling, people have been pointing fingers at the Saudis. And without a doubt, the Saudis have manipulated the price of oil before in order to achieve geopolitical goals. The following is an excerpt from a recent articleby Andrew Topf It happened again in 1986, when Saudi Arabia-led OPEC allowed prices to drop precipitously, and then in 1990, when the Saudis sent prices plummeting as a way of taking out Russia, which was seen as a threat to their oil supremacy. In 1998, they succeeded. When the oil price was halved from $25 to $12, Russia defaulted on its debt. The Saudis and other OPEC members have, of course, used the oil price for the obverse effect, that is, suppressing production to keep prices artificially high and member states swimming in petrodollars. In 2008, oil peaked at $147 a barrel. Turning to the current price drop, the Saudis and OPEC have a vested interest in taking out higher-cost competitors, such as US shale oil producers, who will certainly be hurt by the lower price. Even before the price drop, the Saudis were selling their oil to China at a discount. OPECs refusal on Nov. 27 to cut production seemed like the baldest evidence yet that the oil price drop was really an oil price war between Saudi Arabia and the US. If the Saudis wanted to stabilize the price of oil, they could do that immediately by announcing a production cutback. The fact that they have chosen not to do this says volumes. In addition to wanting to harm U.S. shale producers, some believe that the Saudis are determined to crush Iran. This next excerpt comes from a recent Daily Mail article There are others out there that are fully convinced that the Saudis and the U.S. are actually colluding to drive down the price of oil, and that their real goal is to destroy Russia. In fact, Venezuelas President Nicolas Maduro openly promoted this theory during a recent speechon Venezuelan national television And as I discussed just the other day, Russian President Vladimir Putin seems to agree with this theory Without a doubt, Obama wants to punish Russia for what has been going on in Ukraine. Going after oil is one of the best ways to do that. And if the U.S. shale industry gets hurt in the process, that is a bonus for the radical environmentalists in Obamas administration. There are yet others that see this oil war as being even more complicated. Marin Katusa believes that this is actuallya three-way war between OPEC, Russia and the United States Katusa thinks the longevity and staying power of the shale industry will keep it viable and profitable. The versatility and the survivability of a lot of these shale producers will surprise people. I dont see that the shale sector is going to collapse over night, he says. Whatever the true motivation for this oil war is, it does not appear that it is going to end any time soon. And so that means that the price of oil is going to go lower. How much lower? One analyst recently toldCNN that we could see the price of oil dip into the $30s next year Others are even more pessimistic. For instance,Jeremy Warner of the Sydney Morning Herald, who correctly predicted that the price of oil would fall below $80 this year, is now forecasting that the price of oil could fall all the way down to $20 next year But even Warners chilling prediction is not the most bearish. A technical analyst named Abigail Doolittle recently toldCNBC that under a worst-case scenario the price of oil could fall as low as $14 a barrel But the truth is that none of those scenarios need to happen in order for this oil war to absolutely devastate the U.S. economy and the U.S. financial system. There is a very strong correlation between the price of oil and the performance of energy stocks and energy bonds. But over the past couple of weeks this correlation has been broken. The following chart comes fromZero Hedge And it isnt just energy stocks and bonds that we need to be concerned about. There is only one other time in all of history when the price of oil has crashed by more than 50 dollars in less than a year. That was in 2008 just before the great financial crisis that erupted in the fall of that year. For much, much more on this, please see my previous article entitled Guess What Happened The Last Time The Price Of Oil Crashed Like This? Whether the price of oil crashed or not, we were already on the verge of massive financial troubles. But the fact that the price of oil has collapsed makes all of our potential problems much, much worse. As we enter 2015, keep an eye on energy stocks, energy bonds and listen for any mention of problems with derivatives. The next great financial crisis is right around the corner, but most people will never see it coming until they are blindsided by it.

1	In what many are calling the most devastating natural disaster of 2008, a massive hurriphoonado touched down in Southeast Asia this summer, upending countless homes and drowning thousands before picking up speed and also ravaging the other six continents. A storm system characterized by high winds, torrential rain, lightning, fist-sized hail, massive tidal waves, low barometric pressure, and six separate cyclonic eyes, the first-recorded hurriphoonado caused billions of dollars in property loss along the coast of China in early June. From there, meteorologists said, the weather system traveled inland, covering most of Asia Minor, where it sparked a series of even more destructive earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, monsoons, and landslides. 'The scope of Hurriphoonado Claire was unprecedented,' said Mark Mancuso, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, who classified the hybrid storm as an F4 tornado, Category 5 hurricane, and Level 7 redemptive act of God. 'By the time it surged through the Middle East in late August, there was little anyone could do but pray.' 'If only we'd evacuated all of Eastern and Western Europe in time,' Mancuso added. 'And Northern Africa.' According to a handful of survivors in the Bahamas and what was once the island of Saint Kitts, the Hurriphoonado continued to gather strength as it traveled across the Atlantic Ocean, swelling in size, producing a number of catastrophic tsunamis, and, in early September, sucking up sharks from the warm Caribbean waters and heaving them onto unsuspecting residents in Nicaragua. 'It's difficult to make sense of what occurred in Nicaragua as most of our weather satellites were pulled back down to Earth by the sheer force of the Hurriphoonado,' Mancuso continued. 'However, we do know that the impact of those satellites into the Gulf of Mexico did not help matters.' Experts were not able to measure Hurriphoonado Claire's true strength until it made landfall in Florida Oct. 5. Barreling through Georgia and Alabama over the next two days, the storm dropped 15 feet of snow on Tennessee, opened a mile-wide chasm in Missouri, and then doubled back and obliterated much of southern Texas. It then returned to Florida to flood its remaining four cities. After igniting hundreds of wildfires in California, the Hurriphoonado reportedly made its way out to the Pacific Ocean, where it finally slowed down and broke into four separate storms, which then ravaged Oregon, a coastal state located 25 miles from Hawaii. Despite the utter devastation, many Americans said they weren't going to let 'just any little Hurriphoonado' change their way of life. 'It's going to take more than the complete destruction of our planet to make me pack up my belongings and leave my home behind,' said West Virginia resident and mother of three Margaret Baker. 'Now, if you don't mind, where exactly am I?'

3	Oil from Petroleum Used as Vaccine AdjuvantPetroleum forms the basis of one of the most devastating adjuvants in existence. Historically, it was considered too dangerous for use in vaccines, but its making a comeback in this new age of recombinant DNA vaccine development. Of course, the public relations mantra is that its safeso why is it kept quiet? Antigens and Adjuvants Only the surface of an antigen is required to show the immune system how to create antibodies. This method of vaccine development makes it impossible to spread the infection, since none of the active part of a virus is included. It also means that vaccine antigens can be made both rapidly and relatively cheaply. Theres one big disadvantage, though. The immune system isnt all that dumb. It does appear to be capable of distinguishing between genuine and fake threats. So, something is needed to trick it. These synthetic antigens arent able to trigger much of an immune response when injected. Therefore, an adjuvant is required, and it must be particularly strong for the vaccine to trigger a strong enough immune response to result in antibodies to the antigen. Picture a tiger in a cage, one thats well-fed, content, and has spent his entire life in it. The audience wants a show and the zookeepers want to give it. So they toss some chicken skins in his cage, hoping hell get excited, and start growling and shredding the skins. But they fail to interest him. Hes used to a certain amount of aggravation. Kids hooting dont faze him at all. People tossing odds and ends of things into his cage oh well, hes gotten used to it. So, the zookeepershaving no moral sense about the animals under their carespray the tiger with pepper spray. Now, that gets him riled up! He roars and looks for something to attack. And what does he find? Those chicken skins. So he puts on a great show, fussing and fuming and shredding those skins to bits. The pepper spray is equivalent to a vaccine adjuvant. Had the zookeepers tossed live chickens into the cage, that tiger would have gone after them and put on a great show. But chicken skins just werent interesting enough. Empty capsids are to the immune system much like chicken skins are to that tiger. You can inject and inject them, but the immune system wont care. So, you need to toss something really aggravating into the mix. That something is a strong adjuvant. And thats exactly what this vaccine will require. According to the PLoS study, the adjuvant proposed for use is called Seppic 206B. The manufacturers website defines it as: Mineral oil is made from petroleum. It is the same oil thats the basis of Freunds adjuvant, which is used to create autoimmune disorders in laboratory animals by injection. Shortly after discovery, they were banned from use in humans because they were recognized as too dangerous. And this is what is now being praised as safe. The publicity gives the impression that the vaccine itself is safe, but careful reading shows that the safety element is associated only with the manufacturing processthe fact that no live virus is used, so theres no chance of accidental infection or escape. It has nothing to do with the safety of injecting it. Animal Abuse The initial goal of this new technology is to produce a new vaccine against hoof-and-mouth disease so that it can be used on a mass scale in livestock. The plan, obviously, is to use the same kind of adjuvant thats sold to science labs around the world for the purpose of creating severe autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis in lab animals. As long as their pain from these horrible diseases isnt obvious, whos going to know how the animals suffer? You know that no ones going to be watching to see if theyre harmed. One of the most difficult things to deal with in an autoimmune disorder is that they often dont show on the outside. Sufferers of myalgic encephalitis (chronic fatigue syndrome) have routinely been accused of malingering simply because their misery showed only on their faces. In the case of animals raised for food well, these wont be healthy beasts, and it isnt healthy to eat meat from sick animals. In the case of animals raised for dairy, their milk would likely contain the inflammatory agents that result from an autoimmune disorder. You have to wonder at that. Will they redefine the safe levels of inflammation markers in milk, since they usually wont find pathogens associated with it? Or just pasteurize it more? That process already exists in long shelf life milk that doesnt require refrigeration. The Real Goal The studys authors state: the approach we have demonstrated here may be applicable across a wide range of human and animal picornaviruses, including polioviruses and coxsackieviruses.[1][Emphasis mine.] It is not the intention to use this technology only on animals. The goal is to develop vaccines for humans. These vaccines, by their very nature, will require very strong adjuvants. The nature of any adjuvant is to be toxic. Thats what makes them work. The weaker the antigen, the stronger the adjuvant must be. The new technology utilizes an adjuvant thats known to be extremely toxic, so much so that its used to produce autoimmune disorders in lab animals. This mineral oil adjuvant is already in use on farm animals. Aside from the incredible abuse that factory farming heaps on those poor beasts, how many of them live in constant pain simply because of the vaccinations given? But these animals are kept out of sightand out of sight does tend to mean out of mind. After all, most people still buy their meat in supermarkets, which are the mainstay of these industrialized farms. The real goal is to bring these mineral oil based adjuvants to humans. These, and others like squalene, which is responsible for the recent mass outbreak of debilitating narcolepsy from the swine flu vaccine, will be used so that Big Pharma can produce vaccines quickly and cheaply. Were living in an era of mass vaccination. The results are showing up in our children. The average child is now sick. The countries with the highest vaccination rates have the highest child mortalityrates. Rather than do legitimate studies to identify the reasons for it, we see junk study after pseudo study trying to convince us that vaccines are just fine. Meanwhile, even with strong evidence of vaccination harm, the push is on to produce more and more, faster and faster. And the lives that are devastated? Oh well, thats too bad and anyway, its mere coincidence when a child gets autism or arthritis or asthma or bullous pemphigoid or cancer or diabetes or eczema or Note: Study funders were the Wellcome Trust, a foundation started by the company now called GlaxoSmithKline; DEFRA, UK agency that controls animal vaccination and promotes it; Medical Research Council, an agency funded by the taxpayers.

1	In a report released Thursday at the United Nations pop culture summit in Finland, a consortium of leading entertainment scientists confirmed that the year 2012 has witnessed the hottest celebrities in recorded history. Citing evidence such as dangerously hot celebrity beach bodies, steadily rising chemistry between sizzling-hot megastars, and a myriad of extreme, record-breaking blockbuster movie events, the U.N. group claimed the overall hotness of celebrities worldwide is increasing at a staggering rate, with many specific celebrities reported to be so on fire right now its scary. We are seeing an unmistakable pattern: Celebrities across the world are extremely hot, and they are only getting hotter, said U.N. entertainment agency director Michael Carver, who confirmed that 2012s celebrities were more gorgeous and charming than those in any year since data on hotness was first collected in 1955. The chance that natural variability produced such an unprecedented slew of good-looking superstars is vanishingly small. Data shows the overall hotness of actors, actresses, singers, and reality TV stars has risen dramatically in the past few decades. The peer-reviewed study, which reportedly reflected a broad consensus among the scientific community, indicated that celebrity hotness has soared in the past century, with nine of the 10 sexiest years in history all occurring in the past decade. According the report, after briefly leveling off in the mid-1980s, the worlds celebrities have become inexorably hotter ever since, a phenomenon that has led to 2012 becoming the hottest year ever. Of course, you dont need complex statistical models to understand how hot todays celebrities are becoming when the evidence is all around usjust look at them, said Carver, emphasizing that the freakishly large number of red-carpet events, album releases, and exclusive interviews was not a coincidence, but rather part of a long-term trend. In just a few years, weve seen the abrupt emergence of Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, and Alexander Skarsgrd, among hundreds of other absolute knockouts. You would have to be blind to deny that todays celebrities are hotter than theyve ever been before. The mega-celebrities we have warned about for years are here, he added. And they are hot. Citing overwhelming evidence, the scientists went on to suggest that the present rate of increase in celebrity hotness was unsustainable, and urged leaders to pursue alternative entertainment sources in an effort to curb it. While some commentators believe the increasing hotness of modern celebrities is a myth, the U.N. dismissed these arguments as fringe beliefs, encouraging skeptics to take one look at Andrew Garfield or Natalie Portman, both of whom the study concluded were scorching. As the worlds leading producer of celebrities, the United States is responsible for much of the spike, said fashion analyst Dr. Jessica Dominguez, who noted that ravishing mega-celebrities such as Mila Kunis were capable of captivating huge swaths of the globe at a time. But make no mistake: Celebrities are getting hotter everywhere, from Indias Priyanka Chopra to South Koreas Kim Hyun-a. If the current data are accurate, it will soon be impossible to forestall the ever-rising hotness of celebrities worldwide. Unfortunately, even if the present trend subsides in the near future, researchers anticipate that the devastatingly hot celebrities of the 21st century may have already caused far-reaching, irreversible damage to the earths blogosphere. 
1	Responding to increased demands for easily moisturized infants, the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical company unveiled its latest product Monday, a self-lotioning baby. 'Parents no longer have to worry about manually lubricating their newborn infants,' said spokesman Dale Rosteroz, adding that to receive a self-lotioning baby, couples need only mail in their sperm, an egg, and specify if they want their baby to secrete lavender or unscented lotion. 'Nine months later, we'll send them a baby who can produce up to 40 fluid ounces of dermatologist-tested and dye-free lotion every month.' Rosteroz added that if parents act now they will receive 10 percent off a Johnson & Johnson bronchial atomizer to remove the lotion that will inevitably build up in the baby's lungs.

2	BREAKING: Mother Of Jailed Marine Makes Announcement Americas Been Waiting For It is rumored that Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi will be released from the Mexican prison he has been held in, with little help from the Obama administration. According to reports, Jill Tahmooressi, Andrews mother, is confident that her son will be released within weeks, given that his case was recently heard in court at a House subcommittee hearing. Of course, the weight on his release is that fact that the young Marine is facing PTSD and several other health problems. The next step in Andrews case is the prosecutor has to respond to that motion by agreeing or disagreeing, Jill told reporters. The expectation is that they will agree to close. Closing remarks by both sides will then have to be prepared and presented. This will take a couple of weeks. Reports also indicate that the authorities at the Mexican prison have recognized Tahmooressis dwindling health, and are unsure how to treat his condition. Six months is too long without therapy, Jill told WND. She went on to claim that his experience has caused flashbacks worse than two tours of duty. What do you think? Is it time for Tahmooressi to be released? 
1	A coalition of Baptist clergymen spoke out Monday against the Telia felina, a transgendered sea anemone they are decrying as 'base and depraved.' The dually gendered <I>Telia felina</I> sea anemone, which Baptist leaders are denouncing as 'base and depraved.' 'This filthy anemone, which exhibits both male and female characteristics, is turning our oceans' intertidal zones into dens of sin and perversion,' said Rev. William Chester, spokesman for the Save Our Seas Coalition, a Huntsville-based activist group dedicated to 'the preservation of aquatic decency and morality.' 'For God knows how long, this twisted sea creature has been running rampant in our oceans, spreading its unnatural, bisexual lifestyle. And it's high time somebody took a stand.' The controversial anemone, common to warm-water reefs and basins worldwide, has been practicing its alternative sexual lifestyle at least as far back as 1859, when Charles Darwin first catalogued its phylum and species. Since then, over 40 subspecies of Telia felina have been identified as dually gendered. The Baptist group also strongly denounced the anemone's reproductive habits and family structure. 'Unlike so many respectable, God-fearing creatures, the Telia felina reproduces asexually, openly mocking traditional family values by giving birth to and raising its young in a single-parent setting,' Chester said. 'This anti-Christian anemone, which has the audacity to think that a child can grow up properly without the benefit of two loving parents, is truly the Murphy Brown of the deep.' Rev. William Chester of the Save Our Seas Coalition. Added Chester: 'If you still doubt the pain and suffering wrought by this undersea abomination, just look into the eyes of a young anemone child forced to grow up wondering why Mommy and Daddy live in the same body. This, my friends, is not natural.' As part of its campaign against the invertebrate, Save Our Seas is calling upon Greenpeace and other environmental groups to cease their defense of endangered species and regions that fail to uphold high moral standards. The group is also threatening a boycott of aquariums that display the Telia felina or any other creature of questionable character. 'Is this the kind of marine invertebrate we want our children to see on their school field trips to the aquarium?' Chester asked. 'By putting this sort of filth on display in our nation's aquariumsaquariums that are often federally funded with your tax dollarswe send our children the message that the transsexual lifestyle is not merely to be accepted, but encouraged.' 'It is truly sad to see what could have been an upstanding Christian creature cross over to a life of depravity and abasement,' Pastor Kenneth Boyle, director of the Loaves And Fishes Academy Of Christian Marine Biology, said of the Telia felina. 'Just look at its flamboyant bright green and gold coloration. And its hundreds of effeminate tentacles, which sway back and forth temptingly in an effort to lure the spiritually weak. The Bible says that on the fifth day, God filled the oceans with living creatures, but surely this is not what He intended.' 
2	Ted Cruz Uses These Documents In Attempt To Stop Obamas Muslim Refugee Agenda Donald Trump may be the presidential candidate with the most media attention, but Senator Ted Cruz is proving that hes not afraid to take action when it comes to Obamas proposal that we continue to bring thousands of Syrian refugees into the country. Cruz recently partnered with Gov. Greg Abbott in Washington, D.C. to introduce a two-page proposal called the State Refugee Security Act of 2015. The bill is designed to allow various states to have more say about refugees being resettled in the country by the administration. The legislation would also allow governors to reject any refugee who may pose a security risk to their citizens. It would also require the federal government to give individual states 21 days notice before resettling a refugee, and would prevent them from resettling a refugee in a state if they cannot prove that the refugee is not a security risk. It is my hope that Congress will take up and pass into law the legislation that I introduced today that gives the governors the ability to opt out if the federal government is not sufficiently vetting refugees, Cruz said in a press release. We are at a time of war, he continued. ISIS and radical Islamic terrorists have declared war on America, even if President Obama refuses to admit it. What do you think of Cruzs proposal? Watch the video below and share your thoughts with us. 
3	Obama Accuses Himself Of TerrorismBrandon Turbeville Obamas statements, of course, were designed to act as cover and protection for the Zionist settler state of Israel as it launched and continues to launch violent campaigns of slaughter and extermination against the Palestinians. Obama reiterated his position by stating that the United States supported Israel in its right to defend itself against missiles landing on peoples homes and potentially killing civilians. The idea, obviously, was that Israel was being forced to defend itself against terrorism, i.e. the bombing of civilians and the launching of missiles across the border into its territory. While leaving the Israeli question aside, and while neglecting to point out that, at the time of the statement, Obamas own government was involved in the bombing of Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia, and had just concluded the bombing of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, one might fast forward to 2014 as the United States rains down bombs on sovereign Syrian soil. Of course, only a day after the United States launched airstrikes against alleged ISIS targets in Syria, the real reasons behind these specific targets gradually became clearer. For instance, as The Associated Press reported, U.S.-led airstrikes targeted Syrian oil installations held by the extremist Islamic State group overnight and early Thursday, killing at least 19 people as more families of militants left their key stronghold, fearing further raids, activists said. []nbsp The Islamic State group is believed to control 11 oil fields in Iraq and Syria. The new strikes involved six U.S. warplanes and 10 more from the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, mainly hitting small-scale refineries used by the militants in eastern Syria, Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby said. RT reports further on the strikes citing Agence France-Press, According to Agency France-Presse, strikes involved targeting an oil field in Syria administered by the Islamic State, reportedly close to positions held by the group near the towns of Al-Omar and Deir ez-Zor, journalist Zaid Benjamin reported. The US and its partners used a mix of fighter and remotely piloted aircraft to conduct 13 of airstrikes against 12 ISIL-controlled modular oil refineries located in remote areas of eastern Syria in the vicinity of Al Mayadin, Al Hasakah, and Abu Kamal and one ISIL vehicle near Dayr az Zawr, also in eastern Syria, read a statement by CENTCOM. These small-scale refineries provided fuel to run ISIL operations, money to finance their continued attacks throughout Iraq and Syria, and an economic asset to support their future operations, the statement continued. Producing between 300-500 barrels of refined petroleum per day, ISIL is estimated to generate as much as $2 million per day from these refineries. The destruction and degradation of these targets further limits ISILs ability to lead, control, project power and conduct operations. Yet while the mainstream media and the U.S. government are attempting to portray the strikes against the Syrian oil refineries as a strike against ISIS, the fact of the matter is that they are a strike against the secular government of Bashar al-Assad. Strikes Against Refineries Hurt Syria More Than ISIS Although it is true that ISIS/ moderate death squads had seized control over the oil refineries in Eastern Syria and were using them for their own strategic purposes (with the help of NATO command), it is also true that, in a large portion of these areas, the SAA (Syrian Arab Army) was poised to retake control. This is particularly the case in Dayr el Zor, where the SAA had recently launched a major offensive against the death squads causing ISIS fighters trapped by aerial bombardment and escape routes cut off by the SAA. In other words, the death squads were trapped in Dayr el Zor, the city was weeks away from being liberated, and the surrounding areas were set to be reconquered by the SAA. This, of course, would have led directly to the retaking of the oil refineries by the Syrian government. Unfortunately, that opportunity has now been lost as a result of the U.S. airstrikes which destroyed the refinery infrastructure. It should also be remembered that most of the death squads fled these areas after being given forewarning of a series of imminent American airstrikes, thus causing the civilian casualties to be higher in number than those of the ISIS fighters the strikes were allegedly targeting. Indeed, many of these fighters later appeared in Northern Syria on the Syria/Turkey border reinforcing other death squad battalions in efforts to reopen supply lines from Turkey. Similar situations are found in the other locations mentioned as targets of U.S. airstrikes such as al-Hasakah where the SAA had made significant gains alongside Kurdish forces. Thus, as SAA forces moved in to retake control of the oil refineries managed by terrorists funded by Western powers, the United States initiated airstrikes just in the nick of time to deprive SAA forces of the opportunity to seize some of the oil refinery infrastructure it desperately needs. It is also important to note that virtually none of the infrastructure being destroyed by the United States airstrikes was built by ISIS. It was built by the Syrian government. The reality of the bombing campaign is that the United States and its allies are destroying important regions of Syria and leaving nothing of real value for the Syrian military to retake after its long-fought battles against ISIS. Thus, headlines across the world should more accurately have read US Bombs Syrian Oil Refineries To Prevent Assad From Retaking Them. Still, one should keep in mind that it was not only the oil refineries which were being targeted but whole neighborhoods filled with civilians. One such neighborhood was the town of Kfar Daryan. ISIS As An Oil Company? The excuse peddled by Western governments and their lapdog media outlets to justify the bombing of Syrian oil refineries is that the goal is to disrupt ISIS oil revenue and thus break its funding. The narrative provided to the general public is that ISIS is funding itself by oil sales on the black market to the tune of millions of dollars per day. Of course, while it is most likely true that ISIS is using their commandeered oil sites to support themselves on a number of fronts, and even attempting (with some success) to sell that oil, the idea that ISIS is somehow able to evade the most sophisticated monitoring network in the entire world during the process of obtaining, refining, selling, and delivering oil across the region is entirely unbelievable. Regardless, it must be pointed out that, among the countries listed as hosting ISIS customers by mainstream outlets like CNN, Turkey and Jordan are at the top of the list, both close American allies and one a member of NATO. Even more interesting is the fact that ISIS has also allegedly sold black market oil to buyers in a number of EU member states. Yet the idea itself seems like more of a cover to mask the true nature of the funding of ISIS and other takfiri militants operating in Iraq and Syria, namely that the funding is coming from the United States, NATO, and the GCC. Like the ridiculous claims that ISIS was funding itself entirely through secretive private Twitter donations, the oil sales argument is one that should be taken with a healthy dose of salt. After all, mainstream outlets are also asserting that ISIS is selling some of this oil to the Syrian government, a lose-win-lose situation for both sides and a rather poor attempt to portray Assad as an ally of ISIS. Attacks On Syrian Food Storage In an airstrike campaign that took place September 28, coalition aircraft struck mills and grain storage facilities in Manbij, a town in Northern Syria which was controlled by Western-backed death squads. Manbij is located slightly northeast of Aleppo, the largest city in Syria which is itself the scene of fierce fighting between the NATO-directed ISIS forces and the Syrian government. The SAA began focusing on Aleppo intently in the last few months. The attack on grain facilities by NATO/GCC forces is yet one more example of how the bombing of Syria is not aimed at destroying the Wests ISIS proxy army but at crippling and destroying the Assad government. Just like the bombing of Syrian oil refineries, the effect of bombing Syrian grain silos is to prevent the Assad regime from retaking much needed resources to provide for its citizens or its military after long fought battles with ISIS. The elimination of the grain silos would, of course, do nothing to stop ISIS but it will go quite some distance in adding to the burdens of an already oppressed and hungry people barely surviving under the rule of the so-called moderate rebels also known as ISIS. Interestingly enough, when Bashar al-Assads forces have blockaded ISIS controlled areas in the past, no matter how lenient the blockade may have been in terms of food shipments, the West has responded with claims that he was starving his own people. Yet, when death squads banned food and baby products from being shipped in to areas that they themselves controlled, the West ignored and silenced the reports. When the West directly bombs food storage, it is presented as bombing for democracy and freeing the people from ISIS. Unsurprisingly, no death squad fighters were killed in the attack on the Manbij grain stores, only civilians. Even death squad supporter Rami Abdulrahman, the director of the propaganda outfit called Syrian Observatory For Human Rights, was forced to admit the results of the U.S. bombing only produced civilian casualties. These were the workers at the silos. They provide food for the people. The airstrikes destroyed the food that was stored there, said Abdulrahman. The United States military, typically, refused to acknowledge the fact that any civilians were killed. While any unintentional killing of Syrian civilians by the Assad government was presented to American audiences as premeditated slaughter against innocent people, American airstrikes continue to be presented as manna from heaven, designed to rid the world of Islamic terror and brutal dictators at the same time. Of course, in the twilight zone of American media, the truth is that the United States has created, funded, armed, and directed the Islamic terror for decades and that the brutal dictator is actually fighting for the survival of Syria. Little details like facts and reality, however, have never gotten in the way of Western media outlets. Killing Civilians OK If America Does It Following its illegal and immoral attacks on the Syrian people which have produced alarming amounts of civilian casualties within only a matter of days, the United States recently announced that it is relaxing its policy on civilian killings in Syria. Indeed, the White House is now backing away on claims that it will only use lethal force where there is a certainty or near certainty that no civilians will be killed. Such policy changes led Joaquim Moreira Salles of Think Progress to write that Reports last week of significant civilian casualties as a result of U.S. airstrikes were the first indication that the Obama administration is ignoring its own rules in the war on terror. Yet the reality is that the United States has never been worried about civilian casualties, neither during the tenure of this President or that of the last. Any pretense to the contrary is naivete at best. As Salles also writes, Similarly, drones are touted for their surgical precision and laser guided targeting system, yet they have killed civilians in Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan, and more notably in Pakistan, which has been the subject of over 390 covert drone strikes since 2008. Independent groups like the Bureau of Investigative Journalism estimate that 710 civilians had been killed by drone attacks. Amnesty international claims the number of civilian casualties in Pakistan alone can be as high as 900. Coming to an accurate number is extremely difficult, but when human rights groups are able to go into the affected areas and investigate individual strikes, the number of civilian casualties is always substantially higher than reported by the government, which counts all men of military age as enemy combatants. In other words, when civilian casualties become too evident in the eyes of the public or too politically damaging, the answer is to change your semantics and wording of policy so that the casualties disappear from the radar screen of public opinion. Thus, Barack Obama, while setting the international standard for response to bombing a sovereign nation and killing its civilians by his statement regarding Israels so-called safety, in essence, openly stated that the United States is guilty of terrorism, a claim that few of its victims will argue against. Yet it appears that some people are more equal than others. Palestinians, Syrians, Iraqis, Afghanis, Somalians, Yeminis, are acceptable casualties. Israelis are not. Palestinians, Syrians, Iraqis, Afghans, Somalians, and Yemenis are required to accept missiles landing on peoples homes and potentially killing civilians without resistance. Israel can act with impunity. Obamas hypocritical statement is not out of the ordinary. The White House has repeatedly denounced the killing of civilians in Syria. Unfortunately, the U.S. has attempted to blame the secular government of Bashar al-Assad for the deaths of Syrians (there has never been any evidence that the SAA has targeted civilians) and not the death squads that the United States armed, trained, funded, and directed from the very beginning for the purposes of overthrowing Assad. At the end of the day, Presidential statements mean very little in the way of actual policy. Hypocritical proclamations and even outright lies serve only to mask the true agenda lurking underneath. Informed observers already know this. Those who take such statements seriously have much to learn. Recently from Brandon Turbeville: Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

2	BREAKING: ISIS Terrorist Survivor Admits Something Shocking According to recent reports, an ISIS jihadist recently made the decision to convert to Christianity after being left for dead on the Eastern border of Syria. The man was rescue by Christian missionaries from the region, and survived. He had been involved in a confrontation between ISIS and Syrian Army forces. Reportedly, Missionaries from Saint Dominican Catholic Presbytery of Ayyash decided to give the man a proper Christian burial. They carried him several miles before he came back to life. Priest Hermann Groschlins account of the incident is below, as originally told by the Aleppo Herald: He told me that he was always taught that to die as a martyr would open him the Gates of Jannah, or Gates of Heaven. Yet, as he had started to ascend towards the light of the Heavens, devilish entities, or Jinns he called them, appeared and led him to the fiery pits of Hell. There he had to relive all the pain he had inflicted upon others and every death he had caused throughout his entire life. He even had to relive the decapitations of his victims through their own eyes. Then God spoke unto him and told him that he had failed miserably as a human soul, that he would be banned from the Gates of Heaven if he chose to die, but that if he chose to live again, he would have another chance to repent his sins and walk along Gods path once again. The Priest reports that the man claims he was brought back to life moments later. Eventually, he made the decision to convert to Christianity.

1	With a week to go before pitchers and catchers report for spring training, the New York Yankees shored up their pitching, hitting, and defense Monday by signing every player in professional baseball. Some of the New York Yankees' newest additions are introduced to the press. 'We'd like to welcome the entire roster of Major League Baseball into the Yankees family,' said team owner George Steinbrenner, watching as the franchise's 928 newest additions held up their pinstripes at a Yankee Stadium press conference. 'With these acquisitions, we are in position to finally nab that elusive 27th World Series title.' Sports reporters were not surprised by the move. 'This is not entirely unexpected,' New York Times baseball writer Murray Chass said. 'When the Yankees followed up their signing of Japanese slugger Hideki 'Godzilla' Matsui by annexing Cuba for use as a Triple-A farm club, it was clear that Steinbrenner was willing to do whatever it takes to win.' By noon, Yankees GM Brian Cashman had signed the entire National League and most of the American League to multi-year contracts. Some 10 hours later, the final opposing player, Texas Rangers shortstop Alex Rodriguez, had been acquired by the Yankees, who bought out the remainder of his $252 million contract for $300 million. 'It's an honor to be part of this team,' said catcher Benito Santiago, picked up from the San Francisco Giants as insurance in case catchers Jorge Posada, Ivan Rodriguez, and Mike Piazza all go down with injuries. 'It's a surprise, certainly, but I'd be crazy to turn down the opportunity to play on what is, by default, the greatest team in baseball.' Yankees manager Joe Torre, whose pitching rotation, prior to the mass signing, lacked a clear seventh ace, now has the luxury of starting each of his hurlers twice a season. 'As they say, you can never have enough pitching in this league,' Torre said. 'Especially come playoff time. Now, if we make it to the World Series, we'll be able to start Pedro Martinez in Game 1 and still have him fresh and ready to go for a Game 287, should it be necessary.' With so many egos to juggle and so many personnel decisions to make, Torre said his job will actually be harder this season, the lack of opposing players notwithstanding. 'Hey, I don't care who you've got on your team; winning in this league is toughSammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, and Randy Johnson or no Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, and Randy Johnson,' Torre said. 'And it's even tougher in New York. This is a baseball town, and some of these fans think the Yankees are the only team in baseball. Now that we truly are, the pressure to win will be that much greater.' The mass signing, extravagant even by Yankees standards, caused the Bronx Bombers' payroll to skyrocket from a former league high of $149 million to $5.6 billion. Cashman noted that much of that figure is tied up in bonuses to be paid out to pitcher Tom Glavine, who at 37 will almost certainly not play out the entirety of his 15-year contract. Baseball commissioner Bud Selig approved the signing, noting that the other 29 major-league teams received ample financial compensation. 'I see no reason why a small-market team like the Twins or Expos can't continue to remain competitive, just because it lacks players,' Selig said. 'The league was due for contraction, anyway.' 
1	NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced plans Monday to expand the 2011-2012 football season from the usual 16 games to as many as it takes for Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis to suffer a career-ending injury. 'We know what millions of loyal football fans really want to see: more games, and Ray Lewis suffering a catastrophic head or knee injury that keeps him off the field forever, so this is just a total win-win,' said Goodell, adding that if necessary, the Ravens would play 15 games in a row against the Saints and their top-ranked offensive line. 'Eighteen, 20, 30 gameshell, we'll play 50 games if [Lewis] still has any sensation from the waist down whatsoever.' League officials added that if the 14-year veteran were somehow still standing after 72 games, they would remain open to backing over him with a truck and starting the playoffs the following week.

While Obama was busy pushing for the former Secretary of State at a Manhattan fundraiser, comedian Tim Young posted a reminder that things werent always peachy between the Obamas and the Clintons. During the 2008 Democratic presidential primary, Michelle Obama commented on former President Bill Clintons extramarital affairs. Remember that time Michelle Obama used Bill Clintons cheating to say Hillary shouldnt be President? Young tweeted. I do. If you cant run your own house, you certainly cant run the White House, Michelle remarked at the time, revealing her true class. Mooch has her own man problems, so she should just stay out of that discussionnot much difference in either family, one Twitter user commented in response. This would be a great @realDonaldTrump ad, another Twitter follower commented. This is just one of many examples of the fragile relationship between the Obamas and the Clintons. Americans should remember that as they hug on stage and play nice. Thank you, Tim Young, for the reminder. 
3	US Begins Selling Syria Intervention Using ISIS PretextTony Cartalucci In less than 24 hours, the New York Times would report in its article, U.S. General Says Raiding Syria Is Key to Halting ISIS, that: This is an organization that has an apocalyptic end-of-days strategic vision that will eventually have to be defeated, said the chairman, Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, in his most expansive public remarks on the crisis since American airstrikes began in Iraq. Can they be defeated without addressing that part of the organization that resides in Syria? The answer is no. The NYT would also report: And finally, the NYT would claim: In reality, US special forces and other Western operatives have been inside and operating in Syria for years. The only missing ingredient the US seeks to justify is direct, open military intervention including airstrikes on Syrian territory. US Created ISIS As Pretext for Military Intervention It was the United States itself that intentionally created ISIS, beginning as early as 2007 for the expressed purpose of overthrowing the government of Syria and confronting pro-Iranian forces across the Middle East from Lebanon to Irans very doorstep. Veteran journalists and Pulitzer Prize-winner Seymour Hersh noted in his prophetic 2007 New Yorker article, The Redirection Is the Administrations new policy benefitting our enemies in the war on terrorism? that (emphasis added): Thesupport to these sectarian extremist mercenaries became much more apparent after 2011, with monthly admissions published in the pages of the New York Times, the Washington Post, and other prominent newspapers across the West of the US CIA arming and funding terrorists along the Syrian-Turkish border for years in the very areas now clearly serving as safe havens and conduits for ISIS. The United States has intentionally created regional genocide and now proposes direct military intervention across multiple national borders as the solution an arsonist left to fight fires of their own creation. Madness Enabled by Profound Public Ignorance The utter madness of US policy in the Middle East, and indeed around the world, is enabled by both public ignorance and apathy. It enables US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel to stand in front of the world and shamelessly claim: No rational, plausible explanation has accounted for how ISIS has been able to receive yet more funding, weapons, and support than moderates supposedly backed by the collective resources of the US, Europe, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. It is clear that there were never any moderates to begin with, and that the goal was to create and utilize terrorist hordes like ISIS as a pretext for violently reordering the Middle East. And even at face value, it should be evident to even the most uninformed, that US meddling in the Middle East has led directly to the regional chaos now unfolding and that the last possible option should be for the US to continue meddling. Unfortunately, with a Democrat in office, many Americans, and indeed liberals around the world, have regressed from anti-war sentiments to cognitive dissonance to explain why their elected representatives are meddling militarily in a part of the world they had protested for years to end Americas involvement in.

2	Find Out the Ridiculous Reason This Army Sgt. Was Banned from Reciting the Pledge of Allegiance When Army Staff Sgt. Cory Schroeder was first elected as a senator last month for the University of Wyoming, he was shocked to hear that the Pledge of Allegiance was not going to be recited before meetings. Apparently, the action was banned because the school did not want to offend international students. Multiple senators sat me down and said it was a very touchy subject and we dont want to offend anybody, claims Schroeder, who is particular sensitive to the subject after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Schroder has been debating whether or not to pass a bill that would require the student government to recite the Pledge. He acknowledges, however, that it would be a long process and that the liberal standing committee would likely delay any changes. What do you think? Should students be allowed to recite the Pledge? 
3	What is Wealth? Part 2: Suckered by a Commercial DefinitionBy Susan Boskey 1. The condition of being happy and prosperous; well-being. 2. Spiritual well-being. 3. Prosperity consisting in the abundance of possessions; worldly goods, valuable possessions, especially in great abundance: riches, affluence. Wealth, then, is both non-financial and financial. But since approximately 70% of the North American economy is dependent on consumer spending, marketing strategies have cleverly shaped and skewed the way people think about wealth and their relationship to it. Their top-of-mind (fundamental) definition is likely to have become a combination of: lots of money, several homes, expensive cars, boats, jewelry, etc. Personal and spiritual well-being is further on down the list, if considered important enough to be on the list, at all. When equated with happiness, the definition of wealth as something that can be purchased offers the answer to concerns of personal credibility, success in ones love life, respect, public status, etc. Bombarded with messages telling us what we need to make the right impression, get the dream home, car, computer, body, job, clothes, cell phone, education, food, vacations, investments, whatever, most (at least Americans) buy-in to this conventional wisdom. Ones perception of pressure to maintain a certain image fuels the justification to rack up more debt, if only to give the appearance of material wealth. Ironically, in the fervent pursuit of this type of wealth, the seeds of destruction erupt and undermine the wealth of well-being. Though symbols of success may abound, behind closed doors, many suffer. Not only is a financial price paid, but the extraction of ones non-financial wealth depletes us at the core of our being. Consequently, more and more people find themselves needing to work longer hours, taking on a second job, borrowing more or finding a new, promising, speculative activity in the vicious cycle of trying to stay ahead of debt. Chronic stress, the inability to cope, anxiety about expenses, marital problems and divorce, substance abuse, bankruptcy, poor eating habits, lack of quality time with family, and deferred health care wreak havoc. The lack of non-financial wealth puts us at risk of making poor financial decisions, risking the loss of what we have worked hard to achieve. In conclusion, you dont have to be a rocket scientist to anticipate the many sad outcomes of seeking wealth via its most mundane aspect. The sensationally captivating carrot -before-the-donkey lure of commerce glorifies the body, distorts the souls healthy emotions, and tends to devalue ones higher self (spirit). To reclaim and restore wealth at the primary level of personal and spiritual well-being is to establish the foundation upon which sufficient, long-term material wealth can be built.

2	Its Time For The States To Declare Independence From The Federal Government According to recent reports from Breitbart, a new Rasmussen Poll shows that a growing number of Americans are hoping that state governments stand up to the Supreme Court. Many believe that the federal government has started violating our freedoms by extending laws beyond on the Constitution. Only 20% now consider the federal government a protector of individual liberty, the Rasmussen poll notes. Sixty percent see the government as a threat to individual liberty instead. Some believe that these numbers reflect a growing division among Americans, with some people valuing statism and others valuing a constitutionally limited government, where individual rights are valued above central power. The majority of the members of the Supreme Court fall into the former category, and those on the bench have limited diversity. Every member of the court has an ivy-league education, while not a single one is of the Protestant faith. This is, perhaps, why the gay marriage dispute turned out the way it did. The Declaration of Independence, the foundational document that Americans honor on the Fourth of July, says that governments derive their authority from the consent of the governed, but just 25% believe that to be true of the federal government today, Rasmussen points out. Furthermore, 50% of GOP voters think that state should have the right to ignore federal court rulings. What do you think? Should states have the power to override the federal government? 
1	As part of ongoing efforts to maintain the town's unplesasant appearance, members of the Loudonville Uglification Committee unanimously approved a measure Tuesday to preserve the 16 overflowing garbage bags filled with old newspapers, beer bottles, and decaying food in the middle of the Cedar Street sidewalk. 'We're going to do all we can to make sure these new piles of trash are in full view of anyone who comes to visit our little town, as well as those who call Loudonville home,' said chairwoman Karen Spalding, who oversees all of the town's upkeep, including planting weeds in parks, spray-painting profanities on the walls of the public library, and smearing dog feces at prominent intersections. 'It's important that our work properly reflects the type of people who live here.' Spalding added that she was confident this latest initiative would attract businesses interested in dumping their waste products directly into the Mohican River. 
3	FDA Approves Neurotoxic Flu Drug For Infants Less Than OneSayer Ji, Contributor The recent decision by the FDA to approve the use of the antiviral drug Tamiflu for treating influenza in infants as young as two weeks old, belies an underlying trajectory within our regulatory agencies towards sheer insanity. Tamiflu, known generically as oseltamivir, has already drawn international concern over its link with suicide deaths in children given the drug after its approval in 1999. In fact, in 2004, the Japanese pharmaceutical company Chugai added abnormal behavior as a possible side effect inside Tamiflus package. The FDA also acknowledged in its April, 2012 Pediatric Postmarket Adverse Event Review of Tamiflu that abnormal behavior, delirium, including symptoms such as hallucinations, agitation, anxiety, altered level of consciousness, confusion, nightmares, delusions are possible side effects.[i] Recent animal research on Tamiflu has found that the infant brain absorbs the drug more readily than the adult brain,[ii] [iii]lending a possible explanation for why neuropsychiatric side effects have been observed disproportionately in younger patients. The very mechanism of Tamiflus anti-influenza action may hold the key to its well-known neurotoxicity. Known as a neuromindase inhibitor, the drug inhibits the key enzyme within the flu virus that enables it to enter through the membrane of the host cell. So fundamental is this enzyme that viruses are named after this antigenic characteristic. For instance, the N in H1N1 flu virus is named for type 1 viral neuromindase. It is therefore likely that neurimindase-targeted drugs like Tamiflu are simply not selective enough to inhibit only the enzymes associated with influenza viral infectivity. They likely also cross-react with those off-target neurimindase enzymes associated with proper neurological function within the host. This cross reactivity with self-structures may also explain why the offspring of pregnant women given Tamiflu have significantly elevated risk of birth defects (10.6%) relative to background rates (2-3%), according to a 2009 safety review by the European Medicines Agency. Beyond the recognition of Tamiflus intrinsic toxicity, there are two additional problems with the use Tamiflu in infants: The FDAs decision to include infants under one as treatable with Tamiflu is all the more disturbing when you consider that a 2010 study published in The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal found that of 157 evaluable infants (mean age 6.3 months) treated for influenza with Tamiflu, complications due to the medication were found in the majority (54%) of the treated group. According to the study Complications were recorded in 84 patients (54%), the most serious of which were meningitis in 1 infant (1%), pneumonia in 9 (6%), and otitis media in 2 (1%). Are meningitis, pneumonia and otitis media (ear infection) acceptable risks for treating influenza? Apparently for the FDA, it is. How about death? Is that an acceptable risk of Tamiflu treatment for flu, a self-limiting disease? In 2011, the International Journal of Vaccine Risk and Safety in Medicine published an article titled, Oseltamivir and early deterioration leading to death: a proportional mortality study for 2009A/H1N1 influenza, described 119 reports of Tamiflu-induced death. According to the study: of 119 deaths after Tamiflu was prescribed, 38 deteriorated within 12 hours (28 within 6 hours). The study concluded: These data suggest Tamiflu use could induce sudden deterioration leading to death especially within 12 hours of prescription. These findings are consistent with sudden deaths observed in a series of animal toxicity studies, several reported case series and the results of prospective cohort studies. From the precautionary principle the potential harm of Tamiflu should be taken into account and further detailed studies should be conducted. So, how did the FDA justify its decision to consider Tamiflu safe in infants under one year? Did it use controlled, randomized, placebo-controlled trials to ascertain safety? Of course not. Testing drugs on infants is unethical, and no parent in their right mind would enroll their newborn in such a trial. Lacking definitive evidence of safety, the FDAs expanded approval in children younger than one year was based on extrapolation of data from previous results in adults and older children.[iv] This, of course, is inappropriate as it denies the aforementioned differences in the susceptibility to drug toxicity and neurotoxicity between infants and older individuals. It also avoids proper consideration of the studies in the biomedical literature indicating its potential for severe, if not life-threatening toxicity to infants, children and adults alike. Another concern, not addressed in the FDA announcement, is that as of Dec. 15th, 2010, the World Health Organization has acknowledged that, based on over 300 tested worldwide samples of the 2009 pandemic H1N1 flu, resistance to Tamiflu is growing.[v] Therefore, treating an infant with Tamiflu-resistant influenza would not only do nothing to combat the infection, but would poison that child and further disable their natural immune response. We must remember that infants do not get sick from the flu as a result of Tamiflu deficiency, or flu vaccine deficiency for that matter. They do get sick from the immune-disrupting effects of synthetic chemicals completely foreign to human physiology (such as Tamiflu), and lack of vital hormone modulating compounds that result from adequate sunlight exposure (vitamin D3), and good nutrition.

3	October Surprise? 7 Shocking Rumors That Could Change The Outcome Of The ElectionMichel Snyder, Contributor Americans tend to have very short attention spans, so you wouldnt want to reveal your October surprise too early. But now that the debates finished, this is the perfect opportunity to bring the hammer down. Of course our founding fathers are probably rolling over in their graves as they watch all this, but sadly the truth is that this is how the game of politics is played in America today. Veteran political operatives on both sides know that it is either eat or be eaten, and this election is coming right down to the wire. One nicely timed blow from either side could make all the difference. Even a false rumor could change the outcome of the election if enough people believe it. And I certainly would not rule out the possibility of operatives on both sides floating false rumors in the coming days in an attempt to get an edge. After the election the rumors may turn out to be entirely baseless, but at that point nobody will be able to undo the results of the election. Most Americans would be absolutely horrified to find out what goes on behind the scenes in political campaigns in this day and age. A lot of political operatives will do literally anything to win. Of course an October surprise is even more effective if it is actually true. And there certainly seems to be a lot of important things that the American people do not know about Obama and Romney yet. Did Barack Obama Sell Cocaine While He Was In College? According to RadarOnline.com, a close friend of Barack Obama during his college years is ready to come forward with allegations that Obama sold cocaine while he was in college If this story is true, it could potentially be absolutely huge. But even if it comes out now, we probably wont know whether it is true or not until after the election. Is Mitt Romney A Major Investor In The Voting Machine Company That Made The Voting Machines That Will Count The Votes In Ohio? Liberal websites are going crazy over a story that alleges that Mitt Romney and other members of his family are major investors in a voting machine company that made the voting machines that will count the votes in Ohio on November 6th. Needless to say, the truth is still very alarming. What will people say if the voting results in Ohio are much more favorable for Romney than anticipated? Radical Islamists Are Regularly Visiting The White House? According to the Investigative Project on Terrorism, radical Islamists have been regularly visiting the White House during the Obama adminisration You can read the rest of the IPT report right here. A Spanish Company Will Be Counting Many Of Our Votes? As I have reported previously, a Spanish company known as Scytl will be involved in reporting election results for hundreds of jurisdictions across the United States on election day. According to WND, there are serious concerns about the security of Scytl software The state of Florida has also found vulnerabilities in Scytl software So will these vulnerabilities by exploited on November 6th? Allegations Of Voter Fraud On Both Sides As I wrote about the other day, both the Democrats and the Republicans have already been accused of committing voter fraud. Down in Florida, voters are receiving letters in the mail questioning their citizenship and instructing them not to vote For much more on reports of voter fraud from all around the nation, please see this article: Are Operatives From Both Parties Systematically Committing Election Fraud? Threats Of Violence If Romney Wins Over the past few weeks, Obama supporters have been flooding social media with threats that they will riot in the streets of our major cities if Romney wins. Many have even been threatening direct physical violence against Mitt Romney himself if Romney wins the election. Of course if these threats were being made against Obama, the mainstream media would be having an absolute field day with them. But because they are being made against Mitt Romney they are being ignored. To see some of the most disturbing threats against Mitt Romney on Twitter, please see this article. But please be warned that some of the foul language used in these threats is extremely strong. It is absolutely mind blowing that the mainstream media is ignoring these threats which continue to endlessly pour in every single day. Are they also going to ignore the rioting and violence that erupt once Romney wins? An October Surprise From Gloria Allred? RadarOnline.com is reporting that Gloria Allred is heading to court in an attempt to dig up some dirt on Mitt Romney Could Gloria Allred once again change the course of an election? So what do you think about all these rumors? Do you have any to add to the list?

2	World Leaders Accuse Obama Of Treason On United Nations Floor According to recent reports, President Christina Fernandez de Kirchener has just announced that almost five years ago, her nation was approached by an Obama administration official with a request that Argentina provide enriched nuclear fuel to the Islamic Republic of Iran. The announcement received very little media attention, but it contains some serious implications. Gary Samore, the former White House Coordinator for Arms Control and Weapons of Mass Destruction, is yet to dispute the claim. Instead, he has been open about his opposition to the nuclear agreement currently worked out between Obama and Iran. Kirchener claims that Samore insisted that Argentina provide nuclear fuel to Iran, in beliefs that it would remove their need to continue their uranium enrichment program. According to Kirchener, the deal fell through when the Argentinean government asked for a request in writing. At that point, the issue was dropped completely, she claims. Samore recently issued a statement admitting that he had traveled to Argentina in 2010 and made the request, but somehow, he is arguing that is no big deal. He also claims that he subsequently approached France and Russia with a similar proposal. The deal, he claims, was that Iran would send their low-enriched uranium to Russia. It would then be further enriched before it was sent along to France. The White House did not immediately respond to the allegations. 
2	Ferguson Mayor Sends Message To Al Sharpton That Has The Country Shocked Following the verdict in the Michael Brown case, Ferguson has been in a state of high tension, preparing for the worst, and facing protests and rioting that are leaving the community feeling unsettled and unsafe. Unfortunately, the media seems intent on stirring the controversy. And of course, MSNBC host Al Sharpton is leading the charge when it comes to instigating and race-baiting. According to recent reports, Sharptons presence is not appreciated by all in Ferguson. He has been approached by the Mayor, as well as other community leaders, to step down and stop attempting to fuel the fire of an already uncontrollable situation. Theres a lot of concern among a lot of the African American leaders here, Mayor Knowles told the press. I have the concern that well lose sight of this young man and the tragedy and become clearly a national spectacle, instead of focusing on the issues at hand. What do you think? Are Mayor Knowles concerns valid? 
2	The Worst Pictures Imaginable From Hillarys Past Just Leaked.... THIS WILL END HER In the first presidential debate, Hillary Clinton attempted to make Americans believe Donald Trump was handed everything on a silver platter. In contrast, she argued that she stems from a humble, working class background. Now, photos of her childhood home have surfaced that tell a very different story. Clintons childhood home was located in the wealthy Chicago suburb of Park Ridge. The large, two story home was paid for in cash by her father. Clearly, he was doing well with his drapery business, given that he paid $660,000 in cash for the home. If you adjust for inflation, that is the equivalent of millions of dollars today. The house is well over 2,500 square feetan enormous size for a house in that era, when the average home was less than 1,000 square feet. When Clinton departed the nest, she attended the very expensive Wellesley College for girls before getting a degree from Yale University. Doesnt exactly sound like a humble life, now does it? 
2	Putins Russia Declares Holy War On ISIS, This Is How Obama Responded According to recent report, the Orthodox Christian Church has just described Russias fight against the Islamic State and other jihadist groups in Syria as a holy war. The fight with terrorism is a holy battle and today our country is perhaps the most active force in the world fighting it, Vsevolod Chaplin, head of the Churchs Public Affairs Department, said in a statement. While Obama sits idly by, the Russian Federation has decided to use armed forces to defend the People of Syria from extremists and terrorists. They are taking a stand for Christians in the area as well, who are suffering with the kidnapping of clerics and destruction of historical churches. Still, Obama steadfastly denies the connection between Islamic teachings and violence. What do you think? Does Obama need to face reality or step down as the leader of our country? 
2	Black Lives Matter Protesters Try To Block Highway, Get A Rude Wakeup Call [VIDEO] Over the past few months, Black Lives Matter activists have taken their protests to new levels. Weve seen numerous reports of protesters blocking roadways, even endangering the lives of children who need to be transported to the hospital. One new video shows that this is a problem that extends far beyond the United States. In the footage, a group of protesters holding Black Lives Matter banners attempt to block off a highway in the United Kingdom. This incident is filmed on a highway near Birmingham airport, and is just one of a number of actions reported around the country. A similar incident took place not long ago on the main road into Europes busiest airport, Heathrow. As this clip shows, the majority of the protesters have been white. And they see justice when the police are able to reach them. 
2	Andrea Tantaros Resurfaces After Fox Suspends Her, You Wont Believe What Shes Doing Nearly a month ago, Fox News fans were shocked when Andrea Tantaros was suspended from the network with very little information. Now, Tantaros has surfaced once again, and what she is doing comes as a surprise to many. According to recent reports, Tantaros has started writing pro-Trump articles, outlining what she believes he needs to do to win the general election. In an article for The Week, Tantaros admitted that Trump is at a disadvantage with women. However, she doesnt think it is too late to turn things around with that demographic. According to Tantaros, Trump needs to focus on four major areas if he wants to win over women: continue to remind women what Clinton did in the 90s; reach out to Midwestern women; bring forth real-life examples of women who enjoyed working for him; and use Ivanka more on the campaign trail. If Trump is going to win the White House, hes going to need the help of women, Tantaros concluded. Throughout his life, Trump has prided himself on women relying on him. Now, in a twist of political irony, its Trump relying on them. What do you think? Do you support Tantaros for giving Trump a push in the right direction? Do you agree with her assessment? 
3	Orwellian State? Dont worry Big Sis says the DHS is not going willy-nilly and using any kind of data that we can gatherDaisy Luther I think people have gotten the idea that theres an Orwellian state out there that somehow were operating in. Thats far from the case There are lots of protections built into the system No one should believe that we are simply going willy-nilly and using any kind of data that we can gatherI think we need to do a better job of explaining to the American people exactly what is kept, what are the real restrictions on howIm just talking now for DHS, Department of Homeland Securityhow we use it, how long we can keep it, how we share it, all those thing. (source) What is the Orwellian state? This is a reference to George Orwells unfortunately prophetic novel, 1984. Heres a look at the world according to Orwell: TheOceanianprovince ofAirstrip Oneis a world ofperpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance, and publicmind control, dictated by a political systemthat persecutes all individualism and independent thinking asthought crimes.Their tyranny is headed byBig Brother andthe Part, who justify their rule in the name of a supposed greater good. A major theme ofNineteen Eighty-Fouris censorship, especially in the Ministry of Truth, where photographs are doctored and public archives rewritten to rid them of unpersons (i.e. persons who have been arrested, whom the Party has decided to erase from history). On the telescreens figures for all types of production are grossly exaggerated (or simply invented) to indicate an ever-growing economy, when the reality is the opposite. This surveillance allows for effective control of the citizenry. The smallest sign of rebellion, even something so small as a facial expression, can result in immediate arrest and imprisonment. Thus, citizens (and particularly party members) are compelled to absolute obedience at all times. (source) Does that sound familiar? Perhaps some of the concerns about an Orwellian state could be explained by the following: I could go on, but it seems perfectly clear that we have long ago surpassed the Orwellian state being a product of fiction. Dont be assuaged by Napolitanos assurances that we are overreacting. If anything we have under-reacted and thats why things have gotten this far. Daisy Luther is a freelance writer and editor.

2	Virus Reaches The U.S. Its official. Zika virus is spreading across the United States. Florida is topping the list with 14 cases, Texas has 11 confirmed cases, California has six, New York has five, and Oregon has had two. Now, authorities just have just confirmed that the first case has just been identified in the state of Alabama. Alabama officials claim that the person affected had recently traveled to a country that carried the virus and returned to Morgan County infected. They claim that he is fine. Now, it is being reported that four other people have been tested and are awaiting results. Dr. Tom Miller, a state health officer, has claimed that he is surprised that more people in Alabama have not been infected. Given the frequency of international travel to affected areas, we anticipate having additional positive cases, he told reporters. We are working with the medical community to identify high-risk individuals. In total, the virus has spread to 20 states, as well as Washington DC. Has your state been affected by the virus? 
2	UPDATE: Andrea Tantaros Takes On New Project, Trump Campaign Very Pleased Now that Donald Trump is officially the presumptive Republican nominee, many of his supporters and even Republicans who dont support him, have started offering him advice on how to win the White House and take down Clinton. Fox News host Andrea Tantaros is one of those people. She has taken it upon herself to start writing articles outlining what Trump needs to improve upon in order to win what is sure to be an aggressive general election battle. In a recent article for The Week, Tantaros admitted that Trump has a disadvantage with women, but that wont deny him the presidency. He simply needs to work on improving his standing. Tantaros suggested four areas to focus on to tackle this issue: continue to remind women what Clinton did in the 90s; reach out to Midwestern women; bring forth real-life examples of women who enjoyed working for him; and use Ivanka more on the campaign trail as she is widely loved. And while hes at it, he should remind suburban women of Hillarys infamous insult to stay-at-home moms, she wrote. That one stills tings among the non-working woman set. If Trump is going to win the White House, hes going to need the help of women, Tantaros concluded. Throughout his life, Trump has prided himself on women relying on him. Now, in a twists of political irony, its Trump relying on them. What do you think? Do you agree with Tantaros assessment? 
2	When You Find Out What Obama Wants To Make A National Holiday You Will Be FURIOUS President Obama has long been criticized for his favoritism toward Islam. Now, hes wishing Muslims in America Eid Mubarak!, recognizing the end of Ramadan as an official national holiday. The holiday is a remind to every American of the importance of respecting those of all faiths and beliefs, he said in a statement, while addressing New York Citys decision to recognize Eid on the official school calendar. Obama went on to deem New Yorks decision as an acknowledgement of the great diversity and inclusiveness that adds to the richness of our nation. The problem here is not Obamas willingness to accept Islam, but the fact that he does so at the expense of Christian values. Its no secret that he does not show the same respect to Christians throughout the country. What do you think? Is Obama a hypocrite? 
2	Actor James Woods Completely Humiliates Hillary In Response To Paris Attack Actor James Woods loves to take to Twitter to air his political ideas. He is a die hard conservative, and this time he sets his sights on Hillary. Woods never misses an opportunity to mess with Hillary, and the ISIS attack in Paris is no different. He brings back the Hillary and her involvement in Benghazi, saying thats what he thought about when the attack happened. Some people will say it is insensitive to use the Paris attack to take shots at Hillary. But the real danger would be allowing ignorant people to vote her into the presidency. We need more people like James Woods to let America know how incompetent Hillary is. Would Hillary make a worse president than Obama? James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) November 14, 2015

'The moment we have any information on any dunks, we will pass it along to the American people,' said Dan Patrick, speaking from ESPN's Bristol headquarters. 'We do know that the Mavs and Hornets tip off at 3 p.m. EST, so hopefully sometime shortly after that, we'll know more.' Patrick urged citizens to stay close to their televisions for the latest developments. 
2	Black Man Goes Off On Beyonce Johnathan Gentry has gained notoriety for being a black man who isnt afraid to be politically incorrect when discussing matters like the Black Lives Matter movement, democrats and Obama. Now, Gentry has posted a new video talking about Beyonces controversial performance at the Super Bowl half-time show. Lets cut the crap, Gentry began. I do know what she was doing. There is a huge double standard that we do not acknowledge and that we do not address, Gentry said. You cant tell one group sit down, shut up, what you do is racist and offensive to me, put your confederate flag awaywhile we want to parade and shove how we feel down everyone elses throat. Gentry then went on to ask how the black community would feel if another group had used the national stage to stand up for their own heritage. What she did was foolish, Gentry said. How can you be anti-police when a hundred of them escorted you to the Super Bowl yesterday Beyonce? How does that make sense? Thats just not logical. How can you show that kind of disrespect? Watch the full video below and tell us what you think. 
3	Artificial Fruit Drink Creates Its Own Cancer Causing By-ProductAaron Dykes Its been more than 20 years since the FDA and beverage industry first learned that sodium benzoate and citric acid or ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) can create the carcinogen benzene while in the bottle together. The public was informed just seven years ago, and yet, many makers of artificial fruit drinks and sodas still frequently (and shamefully) use these ingredients in this risky combination on the market today, or with variant formulas like potassium benzoate, which has the same effect. The soda companies and the FDA knew back in the early 1990s; the public didnt find out until it made headlines in 2006 that these ingredients were creating a public health hazard no one wanted to address. Supporting evidence: From the American Chemical Society in 1993 Benzene production from decarboxylation of benzoic acid in the presence of ascorbic acid and a transition-metal catalyst. From 2008 Belgian study Benzene formation from Sodium/Potassium Benzoate and Citric Acid is worsened by plastic bottle packaging. 2008: Diet Coke to drop additive in DNA damage fear. Meanwhile, the same ingredient added to your food as a preservative also poses another admitted risk: the 40-year-old thesis that artificial color dyes additives including sodium benzoate were making kids hyperactive and/or ADHD and irritating allergies was officially confirmed and publicly recognized, prompting EU bans, in the 2007 Southampton study. Sodium Benzoate, Artificial Colors ADHD/Hyperactivity in Children: Key Southampton Study from 2007 Food additives and hyperactive behaviour in 3-year-old and 8/9-year-old children in the community: a randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. Artificial Food Colorings Benzoate Preservative, from 2004: The effects of a double blind, placebo controlled, artificial food colourings and benzoate preservative challenge on hyperactivity in a general population sample of preschool children. This artificial beverage one of the least enlightened products anywhere on store shelves, and marketed directly to Hispanics already at a higher risk for food-derived health decline not only gives its customer base the literal formula for creating benzene, a known toxin, inside the bottle [sodium benzoate + citric acid + ascorbic acid (Vitamin C extract likely derived from corn)], but it also provides consumers with every opportunity for hyperactivity with ingredients Yellow #5 Yellow #6 and sodium benzoate all in one batch, as well as every opportunity for obesity, diabetes, et al. via the contains no juice yet filled with loads of high fructose corn syrup approach to refreshment. With ingredients this good, why not just go into a science lab and guzzle down any random yellow liquid you find? Further supporting evidence on this complex social issue may help address several concerns with no easy answer (or alternately no easy solution): SLAVE MARKET FOODS: Studies, and a bit of common sense, show that classifications on the socio-economical scale such as low income, inner city and/or ethnic minority [Hispanic/Black] predisposes consumers (who are equal under the law to protections against harm) to diabetes, obesity and other health risks as grocery stores in their area tend to sell lower qualities foods while food producers price high quality (or even halfway decent) foods out of reach. Again, the product in this video (above) is a good example, as is this GMO- and artificial ingredient-filled powdered drink mix Truthstream previously covered. Seriously, there are studies about poor people and the poor food they are all but forced to eat by circumstances. How can this be right? Obviously, food stamps and the dependent population system is hurting not helping this phenomenon: Barriers to Buying Healthy Foods for People With Diabetes: Evidence of Environmental Disparities Poverty and obesity: the role of energy density and energy costs The economics of obesity: dietary energy density and energy cost Food Choices and Diet Costs: an Economic Analysis Choosing to eat unhealthy junk foods rather then choosing healthy foods and living a healthy lifestyle at the individual level may be important and significant to the outcome of our lifes work, but there is no denying that the system is making a lot of these choices for people without their consent or full knowledge. The poverty cycle cannot be explained just by irresponsible individuals; clearly many sectors of society are trapped in it, and a market-driven conspiracy to keep them down with shitty food is apparent. Sadly, this is a de facto reality, no matter whether the elite have planned it this way, or just failed to correct it Planned or not, there are clearly elements of dumbing down the population through diet, essentially social engineering sectors of the population to create a strata of efficient worker bees, subservient functionaries and helpless hoards of jellyfish consumers through targeted metabolisms (just as the queen bee is fed royal jelly all her life, and the drones and workers only get royal jelly in the first days of their lives) that change the character of people and malnourish thoughts of liberation and creative prosperity. Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible. Even if all are miserable, all will believe themselves happy, because the government will tell them that they are so. Lord Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society (1951) Humans are capable of so much more, but the diet modern society has lived off of will not allow the population to attain this potential. Instead, people are treated as human capital/cattle. Think about it you are what you eat holds as true as ever!

1	According to sources within the car-pool lane at Lexington High School, your mom has been waiting for you in the car for over 20 minutes, and now shes going to be late, which is just great. Whats the hold up? your mom just said with a noticeable huff, remarking that she was here right at 3:45 and has had to drive around the parking lot three times already. Just get in and put your seat belt on. At press time, reports confirmed your mother is not your personal limo driver and has a life of her own, whether you believe it or not. 
1	In an effort to keep pace with the rapid growth of American mouthfuls, flatware manufacturer KitchenMaster announced yesterday the addition of a fifth tine to its line of dinner forks. 'These days, a traditional four-tined fork is just not enough to handle the quantities of food people shove down their throats,' said company spokesman Ken Krimstein, holding up a fork supporting six separate tortellini, two turkey sausages, and some mashed potatoes. 'To stay relevant to our customer base and bring back some of those who have given up on using utensils entirely, this was an adjustment we just had to make.' Krimstein added that the augmented forks would soon be followed by 25 percent deeper spoons and 3-gallon gravy boats. 
2	Muslim Girl Ejected From Soccer Tournament For Doing THIS According to recent reports, a group of five young soccer teams in a Quebec soccer tournament made the controversial decision to withdraw after a Muslim girl was ejected for wearing a hijab to practice. The Quebec Soccer Association claims that the decision was made due to a safety rule designed to prevent strangulation. League spokesman Lyes Arfa was also quick to note that the referee of the tournament is a Muslim man as well. The referee was staring and pointing, She cant play, Claims Asmaham (Asi) Mansour. I was like why? Why cant I play? Several teams spoke out in protest, calling the decision racist. We have to protect the players on the field, and thats the main point, Arfa concluded. Its not against the Muslims. Arfa also asserts that teams were notified of the rule ahead of the tournament. Asis team confirmed that they were aware of the restriction, but did not think that it would be enforced. I just decided that theres no way that I would allow our team to continue, Louis Maneiro, the head coach for Asis team told reporters. The girls backed up Asi very strongly. What do you think? Are the rules of the tournament completely understandable? 
2	ABC Forces Last Man Standing To Lessen AntiABCs Last Man Standing is known for its fantastic Conservative jokes and for its star, Tim Allen. On the show, Allen plays Mike Baxter, a conservative who hates Barack Obama and other liberals. Usually, Allen fires off joke after joke with no rebuttal. However, ABC has become sensitive to the over-the-top Obama abuse that the show has come to accept. Unfortunately, they have started sticking their heads in the show, to even out the field. In its most recent episode, Allen launched yet another attack on Obama. I had a four-year plan with Obama. Its turned into an eight-year nightmare. However, in response, his son-in-law was forced to take Obamas side, saying, My nightmare is being buried alive, and yours is eight years of prosperity? That must have been painful sticking that in the script. Do you think Last Man Standing should be able to be as conservative as they wish? Here is the full clip: 
2	Stacey Dashs Twitter Gets Highjacked After Being Suspended From Fox News Stacey Dash, the actress who is best known for her role in the hit movie Clueless has just been suspended by Fox News for using profanity to describe President Barack Obamas response to the threat of radical Islam in America. Now, she is claiming that a man she trusts compromised her Twitter account in an attempt to capitalize on all of the attention she has received for her suspension. I felt like he could give a s***excuse me, like he could care less, Dash said live on Fox News. The move quickly received backlash. Consequences. Some of us have to pay them. Gladly, she quickly tweeted following the incident. The post quickly opened up a spur of negative remarks toward Dash and she was criticized for questioning the motives of the president. TMZ reported shortly thereafter that a man in her life had used her Twitter account to promote himself in light of the media attention she was receiving. The man she is referring to would reportedly post pictures to garner more Twitter followers and then delete them before she found out what was happening. Dont be a victim, she advised viewers. Dash went to the police to report the incident. What do you think of the incident? Do you support Dash?

2	Trey Gowdy Refuses To Give Up On America, Drags Hillary To Court Republican Representative Trey Gowdy of South Carolina has made it clear that he is not going to let former Secretary of State and now presidential candidate Hillary Clinton off easy when it comes to Benghazi. Once again, Gowdy has demanded that Clinton come forward for a closed-door interview with his panel to answer questions about the scandal. In March, Gowdy sent Clinton a transcribed interview regarding her use of private email and a personal server for official State Department business. This Committee is left with no alternative but to request Secretary Clinton appear before this Committee for a transcribed interview to better understand decisions the Secretary made relevant to the creation, maintenance, retention, and ultimately deletion of public records, Gowdy wrote at the time. The panel makes up just some of a larger group of Republicans who believe that Clinton may have trashed emails related to the attack. Just this week, Gowdy suggested that Clinton appear twice for interviews before May 1. The first time would be about the email arrangement she had with herself, because at the end of that conversation, we need to assure ourselves that we have every document that were entitle to as it relates to Libya and Benghazi, Gowdy told The Washington Times. Unfortunately, it appears that the Select Committee on Benghazi has now become a taxpayer-funded effort to damage Hillary Clintons campaign for president, Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland responded to the efforts. What do you think of the accusations? 
1	According to an announcement Tuesday by the Surgeon Generals office, the cinnamon challengea new fad in which teens attempt to swallow spoonfuls of cinnamon without watermay be hazardous to pansy-ass teens who arent cool enough to handle it. Spice-induced choking and aspiration cases can result in coughing, vomiting, and, in severe cases, pneumonia when undertaken by a total pussy who clearly has never been laid, said U.S. Surgeon General Regina M. Benjamin, adding that lame little bitches who probably arent popular and will never be popular should refrain from inhaling powdered tree bark. It is the recommendation of this office that if youre not the type of person who will cry home to mommy because of a little toxic exposure to cinnamic aldehyde, you should take the challenge. Everyone else is doing it. Benjamin went on to say, Come on, itll be hilarious. 
1	Dr. Thomas Draker's announcement Monday that his patient Sarah Ross, 32, had successfully built up an immunity to bee stings was the first instance in five years that the word 'immunity' has been uttered outside the realm of reality television. According to official records, since 2002's use of the word during an eighth-grade civics class, the term has been used an estimated 13,546,873 times, solely by reality show viewers and contestants while discussing the possibility of being protected from elimination during an upcoming challenge. After being informed of her immunity to bee stings, Ross reportedly asked her doctor if that meant she could safely move on to next week's round of allergies. 
1	Noting that it would be nice to finally have a little spending cash on hand, both Pittsfield High School junior Marissa Klemp and chemistry teacher Rebecca Murphy applied for the same seasonal waitress position at a local diner, sources confirmed Thursday. Right now, Im borrowing money from my family half the time, so even picking up a few dollars here and there would be great, said the 16-year-old Klemp, echoing the exact sentiments of her 10th-grade science teacher, both of whom hoped to use the money to buy some new clothes before the next school year started. If the tips work out just right, maybe I could even get my own car and wouldnt have to borrow my parents station wagon anymore. I really hope I get this. Murphy and Klemp both went on to express confidence they would land the position, citing their relevant work experience waitressing around town over the previous two summers. 
3	21 Traits of an Awakening SoulChristina Sarich 1. Being in public places is sometimes overwhelming. Since our walls between self and other are dissolving, we havent really learned to distinguish between someone elses energy and our own. If the general mood of the crowd is herd-like or negative, we can feel this acutely, and may feel like retreating into our own private space. When we have recharged our batteries with meditation, spending time in nature, far away from other people, or just sitting in quiet contemplation, we are ready to be with the masses again. In personal relationships, we often will feel someone elses emotions as our own. It is important to have this higher sense of empathy, but we must learn to allow another persons emotions while observing them and keeping our empathy, but, realizing that not all emotions belong to us. Social influence can dampen our own innate wisdom. 2. We know things without having to intellectually figure them out. Often called intuitive awareness, we have a-ha moments and insights that can explain some of the most complex theories or phenomenon in the world. Some of the most brilliant minds of our time just know. Adepts and sages often were given downloads of information from higher states of consciousness after meditating or being in the presence of a more conscious individual; this is happening for more people with more frequency. As we trust our intuition more often, it grows stronger. This is a time of thinking with our hearts more than our heads. Our guts will no longer be ignored. Our dreams are becoming precognitive and eventually our conscious thoughts will be as well. 4. Lying to us is nearly impossible. We may not know exactly what truth you are withholding, but we can also tell (with our developing intuition and ESP skills) that something isnt right. We also know when you have other emotions, pain, love, etc. that you arent expressing. Youre an open book to us. We arent trained in counter-intelligence, we are just observant and knowing. While we may pick up on physical cues, we can look into your eyes and know what you are feeling. 5. We may pick up symptoms of your cold, just like men who get morning sickness when their wives are pregnant. Sympathy pains, whether emotional or physical, are something we experience often. We tend to absorb emotion through the solar plexus, considered the place we stomach emotion so as we learn to strengthen this chakra center, we may sometimes develop digestive issues. Grounding to the earth can help to re-establish our emotional center. Walking barefoot is a great way to re-ground. 6. We tend to root for the underdog, those without voices, those who have been beaten down by the matrix, etc. We are very compassionate people, and these marginalized individuals often need more love. People can sense our loving hearts, so complete strangers will often tell us their life stories or approach us with their problems. While we dont want to be a dumping ground for everyones issues, we are also a good ear for those working through their stuff. 7. If we dont learn how to set proper boundaries, we can get tired easily from taking on other peoples emotions. Energy Vampires are drawn to us like flies to paper, so we need to be extra vigilant in protecting ourselves at times. 8. Unfortunately, sensitives or empaths often turn to drug abuse oralcohol to block some of their emotions and to protect themselves from feeling the pain of others. 9. We are all becoming healers. We naturally gravitate toward healing fields, acupuncture, reiki, Qi-Gong, yoga, massage, midwivery, etc. are fields we often find ourselves in. We know that the collective needs to be healed, and so we try our best to offer healing in whatever form we are most drawn to. We also turn away from the traditional forms of healing ourselves. Preferring natural foods, herbs, and holistic medicine as ways to cure every ailment. 10. We see the possibilities before others do. Just like when the church told Copernicus he was wrong, and he stood by his heliocentric theory, we know what the masses refuse to believe. Our minds are light-years ahead. 11. We are creative. We sing, dance, paint, invent, or write. We have amazing imaginations. 12. We require more solitude than the average person. 13. We might get bored easily, but we are really good at entertaining ourselves. 14. We have a difficult time doing things we dont want to do or dont really enjoy. We really do believe life was meant to be an expression of joy. Why waste it doing something you hate? We arent lazy, we are discerning. 15. We are obsessed with bringing the truth to light. Like little children who say, thats not fair we want to right the wrongs of the world, and we believe it often just takes education. We endeavor to explain the unexplainable and find answers to the deep questions of life. We are seekers, in the Campbellian paradigm. The Hero With a Thousand Faces. 16. We cant keep track of time. Our imaginations often get away with us and a day can feel like a minute, a week, a day. 17. We abhor routine. 18. We often disagree with authority (for obvious reasons). 19. We will often be kind, but if you are egotistical or rude, we wont spend much time with you or find an excuse to not hang out with people who are obsessed with themselves. We dont get people who are insensitive to other peoples feelings or points of view. 20. We may be vegan or vegetarian because we can sense a certain energy of the food we eat, like if an animal was slaughtered inhumanely. We dont want to consume negative energy. 21. We wear our own emotions on our sleeves and have a hard time pretending to be happy if we arent. We avoid confrontation, But will quietly go about changing the world in ways you cant even see. These 21 traits of an awakening soul are a reminder of how important it is to maintain awareness, clarity and strength in these interesting times.

3	Mexican Supreme Court Rules Prohibition of Cannabis UnconstitutionalBy Claire Bernish In fact, the highest court in the land concluded that cannabis prohibition violates the right to free development of ones personality, as the Drug Policy Alliance stated Wednesday in a press release. This vote by Mexicos Supreme Court is extraordinary for two reasons: it is being argued on human rights grounds and it is taking place in one of the countries that has suffered the most from the war on drugs,explained Hannah Hetzer, Senior Policy Manager of the Americas for the Alliance. Uruguay became the first country to legalize marijuana, Canada is expected soon to follow suit, medical marijuana initiatives are spreading throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, and marijuana is legal in a number of U.S. states. Now with this landmark decision out of Mexico, it is clear that the Americas are leading the world in marijuana reform. Mexicos first legal medical marijuana patient made headlines around the world in September when her parents were granted the right to treat her Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome with cannabidiol medication. Eight-year-old Grace had suffered nearly 400 epileptic seizures daily preventing her from walking, attending school, or even speaking. This ruling by thehighest Mexican court further weakens the brutal and notorious drug cartels that have plagued the country with violence, paves the way for legal recreational use, and hopefully sets the example for its northern neighbor, the United States.

It is sad that the U.S. government is the most corrupt country in this hemisphere and perhaps the world. You have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about. The U.S. is corrupt as all get out, but its just the scab over the puss filled boil of the world. Well, thats one way to look at it! Should improve Mexican dope.

I support our troops, but when theyre trying to take over our civilians, that aint cool, Timothy Yanez told reporters. Unfortunately, not much is known about these secretive contracts. The military refuses to answer questions concerning how many landowners are displaced or the amount they will be compensated. Jade Helm exercises are supposed to begin on July 15 and end on September 15. Do you support his stance against martial law? Do you think all this stuff is fishy?

1	The three roommates residing at 320 Sycamore Ave. #4 were forced to thoroughly clean up their living space before they could inform landlord George Hayton that it was infested with mice, the tenants said Tuesday. 'We don't want slumlord George acting like the mice are our fault,' said Keith Paucek, 20, as he hauled four garbage bags to the curb. 'He's just the kind of guy to make some comment about there being three weeks' worth of dishes in the sink.' Paucek last avoided the landlord's criticism by removing the grill and charred couch before asking him to replace the porch. 
2	VIDEO: Entire Community Does Something Epic In Response To Schools Prayer Ban A small high school is Davidson County, N.C. is taking a stand against atheist activists, after officials banned the use of the schools public address system for pre-football game prayer use last week. That didnt stop the crowd from continuing the tradition. According to reports by WGHP-TV, students, players, staff and community members all joined together to bow their heads and recite the Lords Prayer before Friday nights game. Pastor Mark Hollar and other Christian leaders from local churches organized the demonstration after they heard of the ban. The tradition was started by student Samantha Warwick after they realized that a moment of silence before a game wasnt satisfactory. Our parents and our students have the freedom to be here, Hollar said. And, they will pray. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Should Americans be able to express their Christian faith when and where they choose to? 
3	Meet the Corporations Lobbying the Hardest for TTIP and Ending DemocracyBy Graham Vanbergen The EU is experiencingextensive political threats and upheaval from left and right of center political groups angry at EU imposed austerity. Greece is being raped by its so-called partners and it is just one of several other EU states en-route to ruin. The declining global economic picture provides all the more reason for the corporations to look for new avenues of revenue. But which businesses are pushing most for the proposed EU-US trade deal TTIP? And who is really influencing EU negotiators?And just how are the rights of European citizens represented in the biggest trade deal in history? Just in Brussels alone, there are now over 30,000 corporate lobbyists, shadowy agitators as The Guardian puts it, who are responsible for influencing three quarters of legislation in the EU. But even they are left in the shade when it comes to the power being afforded to corporations in the TTIP negotiations. The US Chamber of Commerce, the wealthiest of all US corporate lobbies, and DigitalEurope (whose members include all the big IT names, like Apple, Blackberry, IBM, and Microsoft) are there. BusinessEurope, the European employers federation and one of the most powerful lobby groups in the EU are there. Transatlantic Business Council, a corporate lobby group representing over 70 EU and US-based multinationals.ACEA, the car lobby (working for BMW, Ford, Renault, and others) andCEFIC, the Chemical Industry Council (lobbying for BASF, Bayer, Dow, and the like) are all there. European Services Forum, a lobby outfit banding together large services companies and federations such as Deutsche Bank, Telefnica, and TheCityUK, representing the UKs banking industry are there as are Europes largest pharmaceutical industry association (representing some of the biggest and most powerful pharma companies in the world such as GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Astra Zeneca, Novartis, Sanofi, and Roche). FoodDrinkEurope, the biggest food industry lobby group (representing multinationals like Nestl, Coca Cola, and Unilever) are sitting at the negotiating table as well. However, 20% of all corporations lobbying the EU trade department are not listed on the EUs transparency register. This amounts to 80 organizations.Industry associations such as the worlds largest biotechnology lobby BIO, US pharmaceutical lobby group PhrMA, and the American Chemical Council are lobbying in the shadows. More than one third of all US companies and industry associations which have lobbied on TTIP (37 out of 91) are not in the EU register. Even Levi Jeans lurks in this murky group unwilling to publicly identify themselves. The EU Commission even decided in its wisdom that its transparency register was not mandatory or the issues being lobbied on do not require admission in any way. Hardly transparent. The United States has achieved most of the privately held meetings behind closed doors. They represent the top ten of biggest spenders of all lobbyists.ExxonMobil, Microsoft, Dow, Google, and General Electric all spend more than 3 million per year on lobbying the EU institutions. Big pharmaceutical organizations have stepped up their lobbying for TTIP and this isparticularly worrying. The pharmaceutical sector is pushing for a TTIP agenda with potentially severe implications for access to medicines and public health. Longer monopolies through strengthened intellectual property rules and limits on price-controlling policies in TTIP could drive up prices for medicines and costs for national health systems. Misery and death in exchange for profit. The bankingsector have lobbied hard forfinancial regulations that they would like to see scrapped via TTIP. From US rules on capital reserves (which require companies to keep aside a proportion of capital available to avoid risk of collapse or bailout), to regulations on too-big-to-fail foreign banks. Big finance on both sides of the Atlantic is also lobbying for a dedicated TTIP chapter on financial regulation, which could lead to the delay, watering down, or outright block of much needed reform and control of the financial sector necessary to avoid another financial meltdown. Where is the sense in that? When European Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrm took office in November 2014 she promised a fresh start for the TTIP negotiations, including more civil society involvement and listening to public concerns as her top priority. Lets not forget that the EU Commission undertook the largest ever survey of the EU bloc on the subject in 2014 and garnered 150,000 responses, more than 100 times more than any previous consultation on trade and admittedthat the majority of respondents expressed fears that the deals investment clauses would undermine national sovereignty. What the Commission did not say was of that 150,000, 97% were opposed to TTIP. In the first six months since Malmstrm took office, she, her Cabinet and the director general of the EU trade department had 121 one-on-one lobby meetings behind closed doors in which TTIP was discussed. No less than 83% of these declared meetings were with business lobbyists but only 16.7% were held with public interest groups. The fact that Malmstrm and her team seem to primarily deal with the arguments of business representatives raises serious concerns that industry lobbyists continue to dominate the agenda of the TTIP talks and crowd out citizens interests. It is noteworthy that in a meeting with French employers federation(MEDEF) on 26 March 2015, for example, the EU trade department was warned that the 19 million European SMEs which do not export will face increased competition from TTIP. To fully gauge who is being listened to one only has to read that of 597 closed-door TTIP meetings in the period 2102-14, only 53 or 9% were represented by public interest groups. And nothing has improved. A small example of corporations over people, came about in 2012 when the trade department within the EU specifically contacted the crop pesticides industry who were actively encouraged to identify opportunities of closer cooperation. The response was that CropLife America demanded significant harmonisation for pesticide residues in food. Trade unions, environmentalists, and consumer groups did not receive such special invites. Likewise, The Association of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA), got an email from the EU Trade department thanking you for your readiness to work with us, and offering a meeting, to discuss about your proposal, ask for clarification and consider next steps. Again, public interest groups did not receive this special treatment. Another example of the formidable alliance between EU negotiators and the corporate sector arethe two most powerful lobby groups invited to co-write TTIP regulations by the EU trade department. Anotheris the enthusiasm in the financial lobby community for the EUs approach on financial regulation in TTIP. When the EUs position on the issue was leaked in early 2014, Richard Normington, Senior Manager of the Policy and Public Affairs team at TheCityUK a key British financial lobby group applauded the Commissions proposals, because it reflected so closely the approach of TheCityUK that a bystander would have thought it came straight out of our brochure on TTIP. Thelargest single petition in history was against Monsanto with a staggering 2.1 million signatures that has since been eclipsed by the petition Stop TTIP that has garnered 3.3 million signatures. But this single petition is massively overshadowedby the millions involved in protests groups all over Europe. Thegoal is to arrest thecorporate coups dtat of Europe currently being facilitated by people like David Cameron, Cecilia Malmstrm and Barack Obama. For Britain, in the firing line of that take-over by corporations is the NHS, food and environmental safety, regulations to stop an out-of-controlbanking industry, privacy, security and jobs to name just a few. Most importantly, our hard fought for democracy is not just undermined its for sale to the highest bidder. Thanks to corporateeurope.org for all the information in this article.

3	Government Plan Would Transform Israel Into The Worlds First Cashless SocietyMichael Snyder In fact, it has been reported that Israeli officials believe that cash is bad because it fuels the underground economy and allows people to avoid paying taxes. It is hoped that requiring most transactions to be conducted in cash will reduce crime and help balance the national budget. And once 98 or 99 percent of all transactions are cashless, it will not be difficult for the Israeli government (or any other government) to go the rest of the way and ban cash transactions altogether. But is a cashless society actually desirable? This is a question that people all over the world will have to start asking as governments increasingly restrict the use of cash. Back in September, it was announced that the Israeli government had formed a committee toexamine ways to eliminate cash from the Israeli economy The committee has had quite a few months to examine these issues, and now they have come back with their recommendations. Just this week we learned thata three-phase plan is being proposed So what do the specifics of the plan look like? Well, there will be very strict limits on the use of cash for individuals and businesses, any violations will be considered criminal offenses, and all Israeli banks will be required to issue debit cards to all account holders In conjunction with these new restrictions, Israeli banks would be required to provide all account holders with debit cards to further promote electronic payments. But of course this move toward a cashless society is not just happening in Israel. In Sweden, it is estimated that just 3 percent of all transactions involve cash at this point. In fact, according to an article in the Washington Post, some Swedish banks do not handle cash at all anymore And the U.S. is starting to move in that direction as well. According to a study conducted by MasterCard, approximately80 percent of all consumer transactions in the United States are now cashless. But isnt there a downside to all of this? Just about everything that we do in life involves money. So yes, a government can track electronic payments to make sure taxes are being paid and money laundering is not happening, but it would also enable a government to do so much more. If a government can track all of your transactions, it will essentially be able to monitor everywhere you go and pretty much keep track of virtually everything that you do. If you doubt this, just try to live without any money some time. You wont get very far without putting some gas in your vehicle. And without being able to buy food, you will get hungry pretty quickly. Are you starting to understand? This is why governments love the idea of moving toward a cashless society. It would give them an immensely powerful surveillance tool. So let us hope that this does not happen in Israel or anywhere else in the world either.

According to CNNs Sources: U.S. believes Israel has conducted an airstrike into Syria, it was stated that: And: The Israelis have long said they would strike at any targets that prove to be the transfer of any kinds of weapons to Hezbollah or other terrorist groups, as well as at any effort to smuggle Syrian weapons into Lebanon that could threaten Israel. This was the same flimsy pretext used in another alleged Israeli attack on Syrian territory earlier this year. In reality, the other terrorists groups Israel claims to worry about, are indeed funded and directed by the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia as part of a long-standing, documented conspiracy to overthrow the nations of Iran and Syria. Reported by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh in his 2007 New Yorker article, The Redirection, it was 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. The policy shift has brought Saudi Arabia and Israel into a new strategic embrace, largely because both countries see Iran as an existential threat. They have been involved in direct talks, and the Saudis, who believe that greater stability in Israel and Palestine will give Iran less leverage in the region, have become more involved in Arab-Israeli negotiations. Additionally, Saudi Arabian officials mentioned the careful balancing act their nation must play in order to conceal its role in supporting US-Israeli ambitions across the region: The Saudi said that, in his countrys view, it was taking a political risk by joining the U.S. in challenging Iran: Bandar is already seen in the Arab world as being too close to the Bush Administration. We have two nightmares, the former diplomat told me. For Iran to acquire the bomb and for the United States to attack Iran. Id rather the Israelis bomb the Iranians, so we can blame them. If America does it, we will be blamed. This, in fact, reveals the true nature of the attacks, a result of US, Saudi, and Israeli proxies failing inside of Syria and the desperate need to carryout military intervention to save them, while leaving intact whatever remaining legitimacy and plausible deniability the US holds globally, and Saudi Arabia holds across the Muslim World. What Israels Strike May Really Mean Indeed, Israels explanation as to why it struck neighboring Syria is tenuous at best considering its long, documented relationship with actually funding and arming the very terrorist groups it fears weapons may fall into the hands of. In reality, the pressure placed on Syrias borders by both Israel and its partner, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoans Turkey in the north, is part of a documented plan to relieve pressure on the Western, Israeli, Saudi-Qatari armed and funded terrorists currently collapsing inside Syria. The Fortune 500-funded (page 19), US foreign-policy think-tank, Brookings Institution which has blueprinted designs for regime change in Libya as well as both Syria and Iran stated this specifically in their report titled, Assessing Options for Regime Change. Brookings describes how Israeli efforts in the south of Syria, combined with Turkeys aligning of vast amounts of weapons and troops along its border to the north, could help effect violent regime change in Syria: In addition, Israels intelligence services have a strong knowledge of Syria, as well as assets within the Syrian regime that could be used to subvert the regimes power base and press for Asads removal. Israel could posture forces on or near the Golan Heights and, in so doing, might divert regime forces from suppressing the opposition. This posture may conjure fears in the Asad regime of a multi-front war, particularly if Turkey is willing to do the same on its border and if the Syrian opposition is being fed a steady diet of arms and training. Such a mobilization could perhaps persuade Syrias military leadership to oust Asad in order to preserve itself. Advocates argue this additional pressure could tip the balance against Asad inside Syria, if other forces were aligned properly. page 6, Assessing Options for Regime Change, Brookings Institution. Of course, airstrikes inside Syria go beyond posturing, and indicate perhaps a level of desperation in the West who appear to have elected their chief villain, Israel, to incrementally intervene just as they had planned in regards to attacking Iran also documented by Brookings in a report titled, Which Path to Persia? In regards to Iran, in Brookings Which Path to Persia? report, it states specifically (emphasis added): Israel appears to have done extensive planning and practice for such a strike already, and its aircraft are probably already based as close to Iran as possible. as such, Israel might be able to launch the strike in a matter of weeks or even days, depending on what weather and intelligence conditions it felt it needed. Moreover, since Israel would have much less of a need (or even interest) in securing regional support for the operation, Jerusalem probably would feel less motivated to wait for an Iranian provocation before attacking. In short, Israel could move very fast to implement this option if both Israeli and American leaders wanted it to happen. However, as noted in the previous chapter, the airstrikes themselves are really just the start of this policy. Again, the Iranians would doubtless rebuild their nuclear sites. They would probably retaliate against Israel, and they might retaliate against the United States, too (which might create a pretext for American airstrikes or even an invasion).page 91, Which Path to Perisa?, Brookings Institution. And in this statement we can gather insight behind both Israels otherwise irrational belligerent posture throughout its brief history, as well as its more recent acts of unprovoked aggression against Syria. Israels role is to play the bad guy. As a regional beachhead for Western corporate-financier interests, it provides a foot in the door to any of the Wests many desired conflicts. By bombing Syria, it hopes to provoke a wider conflict an intervention the West has desired and planned for since it tipped off Syrias violent conflict in 2011. For Syria and its allies the goal now must be to deter further Israeli aggression and avoid wider conflict at all costs. If NATOs proxy terrorist forces are as weak as they appear incapable of tactical or strategic gains, and tapering off into desperate terrorist attacks, it is only a matter of time before NATOs campaign grinds to a halt. As mentioned before, such a failure on NATOs part will be the beginning of the end for it, and the Western interests that have been using it as a tool to achieve geopolitical hegemony. Israel should be expected to commit to increasingly desperate acts to provoke Syria and Iran as its leadership represent directly corporate-financier interests abroad, not the Israeli people, or their best interests (including peace and even survival). For the people of Israel, they must realize that their leadership indeed does not represent them or their best interests and is able, willing, and even eager to spend their lives and fortunes in the service of foreign, corporate-financier interests and global hegemony. articles have appeared on many alternative media websites, including his own at linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	BREAKING: Rick Perry Bypassing Obama, Shutting Down The Border While American citizens are forced to take actions to secure our borders, President Barack Obama continues to sit idly by, ignoring the crisis. Now, transportation of illegal immigrants around the country for process has the entire country feeling the burden of Obamas inaction. Of course, the majority of the weight continues to fall on bordering states like Arizona, California, and Texas. Texas Governor Rick Perry is claiming that they may have to act on its own once again. Weve been able to shut down illegal activities in certain sectors with out different operations that weve had, Perry told The Glenn Beck Program on Thursday, But I think theres a point in time where you say, You know what? This 1,200 mile border has to be secured. And if there is a people and if there is a place that it can happen, it will be Texas. Perry did acknowledge the there are tens of thousands of unaccompanied children who are facing severe conditions, but he asked the American public to remember that they make up only 20 percent of the inflow. 80 percent of those coming across, we dont know who they are, Perry continued. In Katy, Texas yesterday, an individual was apprehended who had murdered an individual in Louisiana. And that case is just one of many. According to reports, there have been nearly 3,000 murders by illegals in the past six years. What do you think? Should the burden of protecting our border be falling on the states? 
3	Getting Started: Prepping For a Two-Week Power OutageDaisy Luther A great starting point for someone who is just getting started on a preparedness journey is prepping specifically for a two-week power outage. If you can comfortably survive for two weeks without electricity, you will be in a far better position than most of the people in North America. Even if you arent convinced that hardcore preparedness is for you, it would still be difficult to argue against the possibility of a disaster lasting for a couple of weeks. Major natural disasters like Hurricane Sandy down to lesser storms like last years derecho in the Metro DC area are incontestable storms happen and all you can do is be ready to weather them. As well, a large western US power company recently announced that they did not foreseethe ability to keep up with electrical demand this summer, and may institute rolling blackouts to cope with it. If you are prepared for two weeks without power, you are prepared for a wide range of short-term emergencies, including quarantines, interruptions of income, or civil unrest. To prepare for a two-week emergency, think about what you would need if the power went out and you couldnt leave your home for 14 days. Once you begin creating your plan, you may be surprised and discover that you already have most of what you need to batten down the hatches for a couple of weeks. Its just a matter of organizing it so you can see what you need. Use the following information to create your personal two-week preparedness plan. Modify the suggestions to adapt them to your particular home, family, and climate. You can create your water supply very inexpensively. Many people use clean 2 liter soda pop bottles to store tap water. Others purchase the large 5 gallon jugs of filtered water from the grocery store. Consider a gravity fed water filtration device and water purification tablets as well. If you opt for a secondary cooking method, be sure that you have enough fuel for two weeks. Store foods that do not require long cooking times for example, dried beans would use a great deal of fuel, but canned beans could be warmed up, or even eaten cold. Click HERE for a short term food storage list Click HERE to find a list of foods that require no cooking. Click HERE to learn how to stay warm with less heat. However, after about 48 hours, thats not going to be enough in very cold weather. You will require back-up heat at this point in certain climates. If you are lucky enough to have a source of heat like a fireplace or woodstove, youll be just fine as long as you have a supply of wood. Consider a portable propane heater (and propane) or an oil heater. You have to be very careful what type of backup heat you plan on using, as many of them can cause carbon monoxide poisoning if used in a poorly ventilated area. Learn more about off-grid heat options HERE. Sanitation needs For cleaning, reduce your need to wash things. Stock up on paper plates, paper towels, and disposable cups and flatware. Keep some disinfecting cleaning wipes and sprays (I dont recommend using antibacterial products on a regular basis, however in the event of an emergency they can help to keep you healthy.) Use hand sanitizer after using the bathroom and before handing food or beverages there may be a lot more germs afoot in a disaster. Look at your options for sanitation. Does your toilet still flush when the electricity is out? Many people discovered the hard way that the toilets didnt work when the sewage backed up in the highrises in New York City in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. At our cabin, the toilet wont flush without power because the pump is electric. If you are on a septic system, with no risk of the toilet backing up into the house, simply store some water for flushing in the bathroom. (At the first sign of a storm, we always fill the bathtub for this purpose.) Add the water to the tank so that you can flush. If this is not an option, another solution is to stock up on extremely heavy duty garbage bags (like the kind that contractors use at construction sites) and kitty litter. Place a bag either in your drained toilet or in a bucket. Sprinkle some kitty litter in the bottom of the bag. Each time someone uses the bathroom, add another handful of litter. Be very careful that the bag doesnt get too heavy for you to handle it. Tie it up very securely and store it outside until services are restored. Some lighting solutions are: Some basic items will make your life much easier during an emergency. Here are some things that are essential in the event of a power outage: If youd like to expand on the basic supplies, a more detailed list of tools and hardware can be found HERE. If you want to put together a more advanced medical kit, you can find a listHERE. The peace of mind that comes from being prepared for a disaster before it happens cannot be measured. You wont have to fight the crowds or be faced with empty store shelves. You wont have to sit there, cold and miserable, in the dark. You wont be hungry or thirsty. You will be able to face the event with the serenity that readiness brings, and this will also make it less traumatic for your children when they see that you arent afraid. If youve dealt with a long-term power outage, what were some of the items that you found the most important? 
3	Fukushima Leak Finally Given Serious Incident StatusPaul Lawrance Last Monday Tokyo Electric Power Company announced that 300 tons of radioactive water had leaked from a storage tank into the ground. The situation at the time was given a level one on the INES. Two days the after the initial rating Japans Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) first announced considerations of upping the situation on the scale. TEPCO claimed that the radioactivity of the leaked water would give a human a 5-year dose of radiation for every hour of exposure.A situation that is far from a anomaly. According to NRA spokesman Juntaro Yamada, the decision was made after the regulator had consulted with the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency. Tuesday TEPCO stated that the 300 ton leak may have started in July. The leak at a contaminated water storage tank discovered last week at the Fukushima plant may have continued since last month before it was detected and the tank drained, plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. (9501) said. Crews found elevated levels of radiation in July near where the leak was ultimately detected on Aug. 19, Mayumi Yoshida, a spokeswoman for the utility known as Tepco, said today by phone. At the start of the week the Japanese government compared TEPCOs handling of the situationto Whack-a-Mole. Weve allowed Tokyo Electric to deal with the contaminated water situation on its own and theyve essentially turned it into a game of Whack-a-Mole, Trade Minister Toshimitsu Motegi told reporters. Japans Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, is drawing up plans to take over the handling of the contamination sometime in September. Prime minister Shinzo Abe promises more government funds for the clean up effort. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	Woman Stomps On American Flag, Learns Very Quickly That Was A Huge Mistake The Eric Sheppard Hr. challenge is an anti-American knock off of the ALS Bucket Challenge. Sheppard is a self-proclaimed terrorist, and a member of the New Black Panthers Party member. He recently made headlines for hosting a protest on the Valdosta State University Campus. During the protest, he threw the American flag on the ground and proceeded to stomp all over it. When police attempted to stop Sheppard, he ran. He is currently still on the run and is wanted by the Valdosta, Georgia Police Department. When the department found his backpack on campus, they learned that he was carrying a loaded gun. Shortly after the protest was posted to social media, Erica Walker, one of Sheppards followers began a demonstration of her own. She asked someone to snap a photo of her stomping on the flag while standing next to a friend. The two women held up their fists to symbolize their support of the Black Panthers. She later released a video of her stomping on the American Flag. When a local newspaper notified Walkers employers of her actions, a representative from 1380 WAOK The Voice of the Community issued a quick response. We appreciate your thoughts on this matter and taking the time to share them with us, a representative commented. Please note that Erica Walker is no longer with the station. As it turns out, Walkers Facebook page has been full of hateful posts directed a white Americans in particular for some time now. She referred to white people as crackers and devils, and has also posted about her hatred toward law enforcement. Facebook deleted both of Walkers pages, claiming: We found that the material on Walkers pages violated community standards, therefore we removed it. One Marine named Shane Lawler has taken to social media to challenge Walker, and express his frustration with her disrespect toward the American Flag. My message to you is this: if you dont like what America has to offer, pack your s**t and get the f**k out, Lawler said in a video addressed to those participating in the movement. There might be another country on this planet that is capable of dealing with your bulls**t, but thats not me. If you dont like whats happening here, theres plenty of other people waiting in line to get into this country, and all youre doing is taking up room. So if you dont like it, get out. We agree with Lawler. Were tired of seeing people disrespect this country. What do you think? 
1	Last weekend's suicide of Sentinel Management Solutions employee Tom Blundell has failed to shatter the management-consulting firm's office, sources reported Tuesday. 'It's truly tragic, and our hearts go out to his loved ones,' Sentinel Management Solutions president Karl Steig said Monday. 'In the wake of such a shocking and violent event, however, it's important for life to go on as normally as possible. That's why we decided to keep the office open today.' The Sentinel Management Solutions office not rocked by the death of Blundell (right). Found dead in his apartment Saturday from what investigators determined to be a self-administered gunshot wound to the head, Blundell had worked at SMS for nearly three years as a data-entry clerk, with occasional weekend duties assisting the customer-service department. Though only two other data-entry-department employees surpassed him in seniority, Blundell was recalled by coworkers as a 'recent hire' whom they never got to know particularly well. 'As hard as this has been on everyone at SMS, this has to be even harder on his family,' human-resources coordinator Carol Wiese said. 'Assuming he had a family, that is. I'm honestly not sure. If he had a wife and kids, he never mentioned it. And he had no dependents on his health insurance. On his employee record, he lists his father as his next of kin, so hopefully the police have contacted him already.' According to Steig, the suicide was wholly unexpected. 'We had no idea he was troubled,' Steig said. 'He kept to himself a lot and didn't really interact with coworkers much. Maybe if he'd reached out to us more he would have felt less alone, but sometimes that's hard for new people.' Jon Hanschel, a customer-service representative who occasionally worked alongside Blundell, tried to recall the last time he saw him. 'It was two Saturdays ago,' Hanschel said. 'Or maybe the one before that. I could check the November schedule. No, forget itthat got thrown away. Anyway, whichever Saturday it was, I'm pretty sure he was here that day, because I could see the back of a guy's head from my desk, and I'm almost positive it was him.' Hanschel was among the few SMS employees willing to speak publicly about the suicide. Most declined comment, preferring to cope with the tragedy by immersing themselves in their work. On Tuesday afternoon, Steig spoke with SMS office manager Joseph Chen about the possibility of retaining the services of an on-site grief counselor to help workers deal with their bereavement. 'Karl asked me, 'How's everyone doing?' and I said, 'Pretty well, considering,'' Chen said. 'Actually, very well. I told him hiring a grief counselor probably wouldn't be necessary. A couple of people who worked directly with Tom were kind of shaken up Monday, but they all seem much better today.' 'Maybe next week, the shock will finally start to sink in,' Chen said. 'Sometimes with these things, there's a period of numbness and disbelief before the pain starts. Then again, maybe the shock of this suicide will never be felt.' Determined to soldier on in Blundell's absence, SMS has decided not to cancel or even postpone its holiday party, which is scheduled for this Fridaythe same day as Blundell's memorial service. An office-wide e-mail written Monday by Chen reflects the company's determination to move forward. 'Employees who wish to attend Tom Blundell's 5 p.m. memorial service may do so without punching out, but the office holiday party will still start at 6 p.m. sharp,' the e-mail read. 'Sentinel Management Solutions: providing effective, affordable management consultation for businesses large and small since 1984. Do not reply to this message.' 
1	Randy Streeter, a 32-year-old sales associate at Guitar Center, has a different anecdote for every brand of alcohol. Randy Streeter. 'Oh, man, Malibu. That takes me back,' said Streeter, browsing the shelves of a liquor store while picking up a bottle of wine for a dinner party. 'At Mardi Gras one year, me and my buddy Mo got totally smashed on that stuff at Pat O'Brien's. I woke up on the floor of the hotel room the next day with a fucking 'No Parking' sign on my chest. I must've ripped it down when I was drunk, but, I swear, I had zero recollection of doing it. And Mo had this girl's number written all over his arm, like, 100 times. Stay away from that stuff, man.' Streeter, who said his 'hardcore drinking days are mostly behind [him],' remains a fount of wisdom on the inebriating powers, relative merits, and after-effects of such brands as Jameson's Irish whiskey, J&B scotch, and Jose Cuervo Gold tequila. 'Drinking tequila is like playing with fire: It warms you up nice, but if you're not careful, you get burned,' Streeter said. 'One night back in college, this guy Andy Nardo got so polluted on tequila shots that he thought he was Mr. Fantastic. He kept going on about how he could stretch his arms out like rubber. We had to pile on him to stop him from knocking shit down. Nardo was so sick the next day, he thought he was gonna die. Leave the Cuervo alone if you know what's good for you.' Continuing to browse the liquor store's shelves, Streeter noticed a bottle of Jgermeister, which inevitably reminded him of another tale. 'Oh, man, Jger,' said Streeter, shaking his head. 'Graduation week at the University of South Florida is the beer blast of all time, and the guys and I were mixing Jgermeister with vodka for the crazy, mellow drunk it gives you. They say there's opium in itor there used to be, at leastand deer's blood. But whatever's in it, for some reason, made me act like a lion tamer. All night, I'd walk up to girls with a chair and, like, do this circus act. Of course, I don't remember any of it. I had to be told about it later while nursing the king hell hangover of all time at the graduation ceremony. Just say no to that shit, my friend.' Not all of Streeter's stories function as cautionary tales. Noticing a bottle of Bombay Sapphire behind the store counter, he recalled a wonderful, long-ago experience with the premium gin. 'Back in '91, I was working at this True Value over in Hialeah. On my very last day there, just before quitting time, the guys surprised me with this really expensive bottle of Bombay Sapphire,' Streeter said. 'We all went in the back of the store and finished off the whole thing. Man, it was like drinking diamonds. We nearly kicked this one guy's ass for trying to mix it with orange juice. It was too good for that. I'd almost say I liked it better than the Oban scotch my girlfriend gave me for my 21st birthday, but I don't know. Bombay is a breed apart, that's for sure.' Streeter went on to note that Bombay Sapphire and other 'top-shelf stuff' would never cause a hangover unless the drinker were abusing it. 'Hangovers, now, that's a whole other topic,' Streeter said. 'There's a bunch of stuff you shouldn't do, like mix booze and beer. Then there are all the different cures, like spicy Mexican food and stuff. Actually, that reminds me of the time my buddy and I accidentally discovered the magic cold-calzone-and-Dr. Pepper cure after spending all night drinking at this topless bar down in Cabo. Oh, man, that's a great story.' 
3	Egypt Anti-Terror Officer Gunned Down Before Testimony Against MorsiBrandon Turbeville France 24 reports that an Egyptian security official has stated that Mabruk had been involved in drafting the charges against Mohammed Morsi and the Chief of the Muslim Brotherhood Mohammed Badie on which the current trials of both are based. It is also reported that Mabruk was focused on Islamist groups that have escalated their attacks since the July 3 overthrow of President Mohamed Morsi. France 24 also states that Mabruk was set to testify against Morsi this week regarding charges that Morsi had been working with groups like Hamas and Hezbollah in his escape from prison during the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak in 2011. Thus, Islamist organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood appear to be the prime suspects in what even the interim Prime Minister Hazem al-Belawi is calling an assassination by treacherous hands. Still, there have been no claims of responsibility for the attack by anyone at this point. Jihadist organizations have engaged in attacks in Cairo on previous occasions, including an attack in September that attempted to assassinate Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim by targeting his convoy. Ibrahim survived the attack. Because no groups have claimed responsibility for the attack, any further assertions as to who carried it out would be speculation. However, considering the fact that the Muslim Brotherhood and Sinai militants have been responsible for a variety of violent acts in Egypt as of late as well as the fact that Mabruk was involved in the investigation and prosecution of Morsi and other Brotherhood members, one may rightly suspect the involvement of one or both of these groups in the latest incident. Recently by Brandon Turbeville: 
1	Film critic Jeff Reese, who viewed an advanced screening of Rocky Balboa at Arclight Cinemas last Friday, has reported that the newest installment in the Rocky franchise is mainly composed of three extended montages. 'The first [montage] occurs nine minutes into the film, right after Rocky is offered a chance to fight the champion, as Rocky recalls everything in his life that brought him to this point. There are flashbacks of, among other things, him arguing with Mick in his dingy apartment, ice-skating with Adrian, holding Apollo Creed while he dies in his arms, and defeating the Russian, all while several of the series' trademark musical numbers including 'The Measure of a Man' and 'There's no Easy Way Out' play in the background,' said Reese, noting that the montage sequences were extremely well-edited and comprehensive. 'Once we rejoin Stallone's character in the present, the film launches into a 25-minute training montage, set to an extended version of 'Eye of the Tiger' that eventually segues into 'Gonna Fly Now' as Rocky once again sprints up the stairs of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Once we finally arrive at the momentous final bout, Bill Conti's 'Going the Distance' is played as the number of each brutal round fades in and out, suggesting that the match is more of a long battle of attrition. That sort of thing.' Reese added that the movie was 'pretty much what [he] expected.' 
3	Colorado Democratic Party officially supports measure to legalize marijuanaRegulate Marijuana Item 17: Regulate and tax marijuana in a manner similar to alcohol, limiting its use to those 21 or older. We support Amendment 64, the initiative to regulate marijuana like alcohol. The inclusion of the plank was in part a product of a strong grassroots effort that resulted in hundreds of precincts adopting resolutions in support of an endorsement. Fifteen counties including eight of the states 10 largest also reported adoption of resolutions in support of regulating marijuana like alcohol: El Paso, Denver, Jefferson, Larimer, Boulder, Douglas, Weld, Pueblo, Garfield, Eagle, La Plata, Delta, Routt, Elbert, and Pitkin. A couple Democratic leaders voiced their support in a press release from the campaign. Cindy Lowery-Graber, chair of the Denver County Democratic Party: This is a mainstream issue. Polls show that more than 60 percent of Democrats and a solid majority of Independents believe marijuana should be treated like alcohol. A broad coalition is forming in support of Amendment 64 and I am proud to say that it now includes the Colorado Democratic Party. Jeri Shepherd, member of the Colorado Democratic Party 2012 Platform Committee: Most Democrats recognize that marijuana prohibition has been just as harmful and ineffective as alcohol prohibition. Amendment 64 presents a smart and responsible new approach. By regulating marijuana like alcohol we can take it out of the underground market and control it while also bolstering Colorados economy with significant new tax revenue and job creation. Please visit RegulateMarijuana.org to support Amendment 64 to legalize marijuana. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	The record collection of area parents Donald and Peggy Schnell is 'totally hilarious,' son Andrew Schnell, 16, reported Monday. A small sampling of the hilarity contained within Donald and Peggy Schnell's record collection. 'Dude, check this one out,' Andrew told friend Ben Witt, holding a copy of the Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass LP Whipped Cream & Other Delights. 'Is that the funniest thing you've ever seen, or what?' The teens accidentally stumbled across the record collection while searching for a long-rumored bottle of brandy in the Schnell family den. The collection proved a treasure trove of comic fodder, featuring such artists as The New Christy Minstrels, The Fifth Dimension, Helen Reddy, Tony Orlando & Dawn, Jo Ann Castle, The Carpenters, Glen Campbell, Arthur Fiedler & The Boston Pops, John Denver, Boots Randolph, and Ferrante & Teicher. Music and pop-culture experts agree that the Schnell record collection is one of the most hilarious in the country today. 'At turns atrocious, tasteless, tepid, and self-parodying, the Schnell discography is a perfect encapsulation of the listening tastes of the American bourgeoisie in the mid- to late 20th century, as well as a knee-slappingly hilarious compendium of misguided trends in popular music,' said Lydia Dreifort, director of the Alan Lomax Center For American Ethnomusicology in Oxford, MS. 'Can you believe they actually own Neil Diamond's Jonathan Livingston Seagull?' 'I greatly look forward to having the chance to examine it firsthand,' Dreifort said of the collection, which not only features Hooked On Classics, but Hooked On Swing and Hooked On Broadway. 'The exquisite squareness of the music is truly something to behold.' Donald Schnell, 55, said the collection began in November 1968, when, shortly after marrying the former Peggy Peavy, he purchased a hi-fi stereo. 'We figured since we had this nice new stereophonic hi-fi, we should have some records to play on it,' Donald said. 'I've always been a real music lover, and I just started buying everything from Henry Mancini to Mitch Miller.' 'Oh, I know we still have all those records in the den, but I haven't listened to them in years,' Peggy said. 'I sometimes listen to classical music on the public radio station, but mostly I listen to that one AM talk station.' Dreifort said that while the Schnells' zest for music acquisition is not unusual for people their age, the jaw-dropping banality of their holdings is. 'In the 30 or so years since they purchased their first record, Donald and Peggy have witnessed countless stylistic revolutions in American popular music,' Dreifort said. 'But somehow, every single one of these changes managed to elude them, as they steadily filled their den with Percy Faith and Up With People records. I cannot tell you why these particular musical selections held such aesthetic appeal for them; further research is warranted. But one thing is certain: The Schnells, God bless them, must have ears of the purest tin.' 
1	The Tennessee state legislature will hold a historic, first-ever Sunday session this week to break a three-week Ford-Chevy deadlock, The Tennesseean reported Friday. In a statement that enraged many of his fellow Tennessee lawmakers, State Rep. Cordell Pritchett (R-Chattanooga) said he would rather push a Ford than drive a Chevy. 'This is a vital issue, not only for legislators but for the good people of Tennessee,' said Governor Don Sundquist in an address to the legislature Thursday. 'Our constituents care deeply about what brand of truck they drive to work in, rack their guns in, and order their wives back into. But we can no longer carry on as a state divided.' The congressional dispute began Sept. 8, following a bipartisan review of the NASCAR Exide Battery 400 on a television screen in the State Assembly chambers. Upon driver Dale Jarrett's victory in a Ford Thunderbird, Rep. Cordell Pritchett (R-Chattanooga) announced to his fellow legislators that he would rather push a Ford than drive a Chevy. The remark sparked outrage among many of Pritchett's colleagues. 'As the elected representative of the good people of the 23rd district, I could not in good faith allow such a blasphemous statement to be made,' Rep. Lawton 'Easy' McCallum (D-Laverne) said. 'The citizens of my district have instructed me to inform Mr. Pritchett that 'Ford' stands for 'Found On Road Dead.' While the good people of the 23rd may well be right, I myself have always maintained that it means 'Fix Or Repair Daily.'' Among the major sticking points in the Ford-Chevy debate: whether being Ford-tough is preferable to being like a rock; who gets the Chevy and who gets the Ford in a Tennessee divorce; and whether or not 'Chevrolet' is a real American name. 'I resent my esteemed colleagues' insinuations that on a quiet Tennessee night, one can hear Fords rusting,' Rep. Bud Kendall (R-Memphis) said Friday near the end of a marathon four-day pro-Ford filibuster. 'In response, I intend to begin wearing T-shirts which portray Calvin of the Calvin And Hobbes comic strip urinating upon the Chevy 'bow-tie' logo.' Kendall would not comment upon rumors that he will apply a decal of the same design to the rear window of his 1989 Ford F-150. According to Sundquist, the debate embodies 'the deepest, most dearly held beliefs' of the state. 'Tennesseeans are passionate about this issue,' the governor said. 'On the one side, you have those who claim a Ford is a slow, rusty muthinlaw car they wouldn't have as a dog house, and on the other you have those who say that, in effect, their wife yes, their dog maybe, but their Ford, never. I mean, a statement like that implies they're literally willing to give up their marriage over this issue. That shows a very serious level of commitment.' Sundquist, who has long remained neutral on the volatile issue, is reportedly retaining two separate pickupsone a Ford and the other a Chevyalternating equally between them for use in hauling around his dogs and hunting equipment. The current car-and-truck brand-loyalty schism is the state's most severe legislative bottleneck since the Remington-Winchester shotgun debates of the '50s. It is also widely believed to be its worst automotive divide since the infamous Camaro-Mustang feuds of the early '70s. 'Back in the old Camaro-Mustang days, things could get pretty nasty on the Senate floor,' said Sen. Hank Rawlings (D-Smyrna), a member of the Tennessee legislature since 1973. 'But there was one difference: In those days, the governor could instantly bring the legislature to consensus by calling for a vote on the 'shitbox' status of the then-new Japanese compacts. Those votes would always be unanimous.'

3	South African GM maize contaminates the worldOfficial GM maize exports can be found athttp://www.nda.agric.za, but investigators already found it in many more countries.South Africa exports unapproved GM maize to Zimbabwe and continues to export to Mexico,contaminating both the region and the center of origin of maize. According to a spokesperson for the FoodMattersZimbabwe group, Zimbabweans are under the impression that maize would be imported from Zambia and will be deeply upset by this news to import GM maize from South Africa. The government of Zimbabwe is currently promoting the use of open pollinated varieties (OPVs) of seed to strengthen our farmers self-reliance. The importation of GM maize poses a serious risk of contaminating our OPV varieties; at the very least this GM maize must be milled before entering the country. However, a cloud hangs over the legality of the shipments and whether the South African GMO authorities have indeed received an explicit written approval from the Zimbabwean government for the importation of the GM maize. Maize is central to the diet and culture of the Mexican people and peasant leaders have embarked upon hunger strikes in January this year to protest plans to cultivate GM maize in the country. Indeed, there is widespread opposition to GM maize in Mexico, with scientists, farmers, consumers, students, environmental organizations and others also protesting against GM maize. After his official visit to Mexico in 2011, UN Special Rapporteur for the Right to Food Olivier de Schutter recommended the immediate reinstatement of the moratorium against GM maize established as far back as 1999. What makes this GM export even more unacceptable is that at least 150,000 tons of non-GM maize produced by Mexican farmers have been in storage for three months and remain unsold, but companies prefer to import GM maize from South Africa, despite all the associated transport and environmental costs. Mexico doesnt need to import maize for its own population, as the domestic production not only meets, but also exceeds human consumption needs. These imports are intended for animal feed in industrial production that is controlled by transnational companies. The maize traded from both ends serves only the need and greed of corporations, said Silvia Ribeiro from ETC Group, in Mexico. This is yet more depressing evidence that the primary purpose of our food system is not to provide adequate, affordable and nutritious food for all South Africans, but to ensure the continuing profitability of some of the worlds largest agribusiness corporations, concluded Mariam Mayet, Director of the ACB. The list of permits granted by the South African GMO authorities authorising the GM maize exports can be found on the www.nda.agric.za website.

1	As the 2009 baseball season progresses, major-league managers are defending against Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek by employing what they call the 'Varitek Shift,' a defensive maneuver in which infielders move up past the pitcher's mound and outfielders take a knee and relax. 'It's very effective,' Minnesota Twins manager Ron Gardenhire told reporters. 'If Jason makes contact with the ball, which is rare in itself, he usually hits slow dribblers that catch infielders by surprise because of how weak they're hit. So, by moving the infielders up, and having the pitcher rush home plate after the pitch has been thrown, [Varitek] has virtually no chance of reaching base. If runners are on when he comes up, we may have the outfielders cover first, second, and third to ensure a double or triple play.' Gardenhire added that it doesn't matter if the switch-hitting Varitek bats right- or left-handed, as the shift is foolproof. 
2	Tomi Lahren Receives Death Threats So She Doubles Down [VIDEO] Earlier this week, we applauded Blaze TV anchor Tomi Lahren for being brave enough to speak her mind on Beyonces Super Bowl 50 performance. Unfortunately, her opinion has made her the target of hate mail and death threats. Now, Lahren is responding to the violent response in a new Final Thoughts edition of the video. During the segment, she told her critics that they are missing a very crucial point: racism is not a one-way street. Lets get something straight, Lahren begins in the clip. You dont scare me. You dont intimidate me. You will not silence me. Youre bullies. Lahren stood behind her original stance, claiming that Beyonces performance was divisive at an event where people of all backgrounds come together. Lahren went on to argue that she has nothing against Beyonce as an artist, but in this particular instance, her message was wrong. She chose to pay homage to a group that advocated violence as a means to an end, Lahren argued. She, while flanked and protected by law enforcement both white and black, chose to use her platform to agitate progress and encourage division. Lahren then had a very clear message to those who threatened her. If you believe the way to equality and understanding is violence and profanity, I feel sorry for you, she concluded. But unlike you, I wont call you names, or tell you to die. But I will pray for you. Watch her full response below and tell us what you think. Do you stand behind Lahren and her right to express her opinion?

2	The Entire U.S. Senate Votes 100According to recent reports, Obama may be forced to change his deal with Iran after the upper house voted 100-0 on an amendment imposing sanctions on Iran. Iran was found to be in noncompliance with the terms that were outlined between Iran and P5+1 powers. Specifically, the bill calls for Irans government to sign an obligation that they never will build atomic weapons. This just proves what Republicans have been saying from the beginningthere is not negotiating with Iran in good faith. One thing Ive learned both at the CIA and as secretary of defense is that the Iranians cant be trusted, Leon Panetta, the former Secretary of Defense and head of the CIA under Obama told reporters. Its for that reason that we have to make sure that weve taken strong steps to be able to make sure that they are not trying to do something in secret. What do you think? Does Obama need to stop pushing executive policies that put our country at risk? 
3	Landlord Charged for Front Yard Garden - Tenant Neighbors Fight BackYou can only retain freedoms if you act to preserve them. Karl Tricamo Stay-at-home dad Karl Tricamo was another unsuspecting gardener just going about his favorite hobby and following the rules. He loves to garden with his 55 heirlooms and dislikes GMOs and pesticides. But, like so many others now, he was pushed around and literally stalked by Code Enforcers out to aggressively eradicate any nuisance that doesnt match the rest of their desired Stepford neighborhood. This is after he, also like many targeted for garden deconstruction, painstakingly followed the rules. I just thought it would be an excellent way to help provide for my family, he said. People have been gardening since the beginning of human civilization, and the First Lady has even been setting an example by gardening at the White House! I never expected it to be so controversial. City officials in Ferguson, Missouri do not care if someone is trying to feed his family on his turf; so they literally cited Tricamos landlord withFailure to meet the minimum standards of the City of Ferguson exterior appearance code. Now, doesnt that sound like a highly subjective code? It would, had it been an actual code instead of an intimidation tactic. Karls neighbors seemed to be in accordance with his fruitful yard plan. One of them even allowed Tricamo to plant tomatoes in her garden as a show of solidarity. The owner of 309 Louisa wishes to utilize his property, currently zoned R-1D, for agricultural purposes by planting tall crops which will cover the entire front yard of the property. City Staff has determined that such use is not allowed within that zoning district under Chapter 49, the Zoning Ordinance for the City of Ferguson and, otherwise, constitutes a nuisance. The owner appeals that determination. City officials changed their citings a lot, and really never could give Tricamo an actual code that prohibited a garden, especially since the ordinances specifically allow for vegetation, with no height requirements. So they obnoxiously tried to paint his yard into a large-scale commercial farm saying he needs permission to engage in agriculture! Adding to that absurdity, the enforcers cased his place week after week; they would drive by, or park out front and watch the yard. Karl did not cave when he receivednuisancewarnings and commands to first lay down hay and plant grass, and later to rip up his vegetables. But, as he documents on his blog, the constantharassmentand drive-bys for months were not easy on him and his family. Tricamo and his landlord, Jesse Brandt, were represented by Libertarian attorney Dave Roland of Freedom Center of Missouri who argued with the board on the basis of constitutional rights with supporting evidence that there were no code violations. Neighbors and family pitched in their support at the board meeting. With all the help, Brandt and Tricamos citations and fines were struck down in a Board of Adjustment decision by a 4-1 vote! We felt vindicated, Karl said. I had taken steps from day one that everything would be within ordinance. They just tried to throw everything at us and hoped something would stick. The one opposing vote came from an upset Joe Schroeder: The board felt that, technically, he had the law in his favor But I think that all of us on the board agreed that the garden is an eyesore. It goes against common sense, really, to put a garden in the front yard instead of the back. So the law should be based on someone elses common sense? Or what is aesthetically pleasing to a board member? Karl addressed the all-too typical response from people whod rather go along to get along the ones who say, Why dont you just grow in the back yard? Or, Why not just flowers and grass? The point is, that to him, he is within community ordinances and not trying to appease or placate others demands. He wishes others would appreciate the diversity of plant life he diligently cultivated. If this werent such an ordeal, and if bureaucrats werent over his shoulder, he would prefer to let what we call weeds survive as they do in nature; as they do serve a purpose and are not aesthetically displeasing to everyone. Freedom lover Roland is proud of people who face intimidation by taking on city hall. He said of the victory: Im proud of Mr. Tricamo and Mr. Brandt, because in standing up for their own constitutional rights, they have given hope to everyone else who might face a similar situation.

2	I Knew The Obamas Both Lost Their Law Licenses But I Didnt Know Why Until I Read This... According to recent reports, the Illinois Attorney Registration And Disciplinary Committee released information that doesnt look good for the Obamas. Both have touted their legal licenses to back up their experience. What is lesser known is that both Obamas surrendered their licenses to avoid legal issues of their own. President Obama surrendered his license back in 2008, in order to escape significant charges that he lied on his bar application. This was not a voluntary surrender as Obama claims. Michelle Obama also supposedly voluntarily surrendered her law license in 1993, after a Federal Judge gave her the choice between surrendering her license. The University of Chicago released a statement in March 2008, claiming Sen. Barack Obama served as a professor in the law school. However, the school confirmed that while Obama taught part-time classes there, he never held the position of professor. He did not hold the title of Professor of Law, Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago School of Law, said in a statement. What do you think of this new information? 
2	BREAKING: Obamas Attorney General Gets Some Very Bad News After Clearing Hillary Clinton Americans were furious on Tuesday when FBI Director James Comey made the shocking announcement that his organization would not be recommending that Hillary Clinton be indicted for her use of a personal email server, despite what he claims was careless treatment of classified information. Immediately after the announcement, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc) revealed that House Republicans would be questioning Comey about how he came to this conclusion. Attorney General Loretta Lynch is set to be questioned as well. On Wednesday, Congressional Republicans announced that they would call on Lynch to answer questions about the investigation. This comes just one week after Lynch was criticized for meeting with Bill Clinton on the tarmac of the Phoenix airport. Only a fool would believe that the meeting between Bill Clinton and the U.S.A.G. was not arranged or that Crooked Hillary did not know, Donald Trump tweeted of the incident. The SECRET meeting between Bill Clinton and the U.S.A.G. in back of closed plane was heightened with FBI shouting go away, no pictures, he continued. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte also spoke out on Wednesday to slam the FBIs announcement, saying it raises serious questions and is uniquely troubling in light of Attorney General Lynchs secret meeting with former President Bill Clinton. No one is above the law and the American people need to know that federal law enforcement is taking this misconduct seriously, Goodlatte said in a statement. I look forward to hearing from Attorney General Lynch and learning more about how she and the Justice Department are addressing these important issues. What do you think about this? Do the Clintons need to be kept far away from the White House? 
1	The JFK Jr. Tragedy It's hard to believe, but it has been maybe a year or so since America lost its prince, John F. Kennedy Jr. An entire nation mourned on that fateful dayprobably last spring, but maybe even the summer beforewhen the plane he was piloting to some relative's wedding on one of those islands off the coast of Massachusetts like Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard plunged into the body of water it was flying over. Within hours of the crash, journalists and TV news crews from around the world had descended upon the scene. The networks suspended their regular programming as millions of us watched the monumental story unfold at home, glued to our televisions for the latest word on the status of JFK Jr. and his wife, whose name escapes us at the moment. It may have started with a 'C.' Or maybe a 'K.' Kathryn? No, that's not it. As with the death of his father, every one of us can remember exactly where we were when we heard the news. 'I think I was driving with my girlfriend to her parents' place, and we heard about it on the radio,' said Andy Zeigler of Tarrytown, NY. 'Actually, I think I'm thinking of Princess Di. I definitely remember it was a huge deal at the time, though.' 'When I got home from work, my roommate told me that JFK Jr. had died in a plane crash,' said Richard Pollian of Duncanville, TX. 'I distinctly remember thinking to myself, 'Huh.'' A year or so after the tragedy, despite exhaustive efforts by federal investigators and the media, many questions remain: Wasn't there somebody else on board besides JFK Jr. and what's-her-name? What was the cause of the crash, again? And did those aviation experts who were all over the news that whole week after the crash say it could have been averted or not? Some of these questions have been answered. Still others have been answered, too, but those answers cannot quite be recalled at the moment. John F. Kennedy Jr. at the <i>George</i> launch maybe two or three years before his death. The questions do not end with the crash. The loss of John-John has left us with a host of what-ifs to ponder. One can only wonder what might have been, had he lived: Would his George magazine, which folded several months ago, have survived slightly longer than it did without its leader? Some believe it was poised to hang on another year or two. Would he have been photographed rollerblading shirtless in Central Park? Likely, though he hinted at a shift toward shirtless frisbee-throwing. Would he have gone on to make more allusions to the possibility of maybe one day running for public office? He showed signs. Tragically, we will never know for certain. Come to think of it, maybe it was Cape Cod they were headed to. Yes, John F. Kennedy Jr., the one remaining crown jewel in America's royal family, was cruelly taken from us 10 to 18 months ago. It probably was summertime, most likely the summer before last, since the summer of 2000 was too recent. But summertime definitely sounds right. For who among us can't faintly recall those indelible televised images of onlookers milling about the shoreline in shorts and tank tops as Coast Guard officials or somebody like that went about their rescue efforts? The millions of us who clung to our television sets in those unforgettable hours following the crash sort of can. But regardless of when the crash occurred, or where, or who was on board, one thing is certain: John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. may be gone, but he is not completely forgotten. 
2	BREAKING: American Teen Is Killed In West Bank Terrorist Attack There were two terrorist attacks in Israel today. The Palestinians were behind this. 5 men were killed in his horrific incident. One of those men was an American man. The shooting took place in West Bank, Israel. Both suspects have been taken into custody. The terrorists opened fire from their car and finished off one man with their knife. Although this did not happen in the United States, it is just another example of what radical Islamists are capable of. Should Obama be replaced with someone capable of handling these terrorists? 
3	Los Angeles Cops Argue All Cars in LA Are Under InvestigationJennifer Lynch Do you drive a car in the greater Los Angeles Metropolitan area? According to the L.A. Police Department and L.A. Sheriffs Department, your car is part of a vast criminal investigation. The agencies took a novel approach in the briefs they filed in EFF and the ACLU of Southern Californias California Public Records Act lawsuitseeking a weeks worth of Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR) data. They have argued that All [license plate] data is investigatory. The fact that it may never be associated with a specific crime doesnt matter. This argument is completely counter to our criminal justice system, in which we assume law enforcement will not conduct an investigation unless there are some indicia of criminal activity. In fact, the Fourth Amendment was added to the U.S. Constitution exactly to prevent law enforcement from conducting mass, suspicionless investigations under general warrants that targeted no specific person or place and never expired. Taken to an extreme, the agencies arguments would allow law enforcement to conduct around-the-clock surveillance on every aspect of our lives and store those records indefinitely on the off-chance they may aid in solving a crime at some previously undetermined date in the future. If the court accepts their arguments, the agencies would then be able to hide all this data from the public. However, as we argued in the Reply brief we filed in the case last Friday, the accumulation of information merely because it might be useful in some unspecified case in the future certainly is not an investigation within any reasonable meaning of the word. LAPD and LASD Recognize Privacy Interest in License Plate Data In another interesting turn in the case, both agencies fully acknowledged the privacy issues implicated by the collection of license plate data. LAPD stated in its brief: The sheriffs department recognized that ALPR data tracked individuals movement over time and that, with only a license plate number, someone could learn personal identifying information about the vehicle owner (such as the owners home address) by looking up the license plate number in a database with reverse lookup capabilities such as LexisNexis and Westlaw. The agencies use the fact that ALPR data collection impacts privacy to argue thatalthough they should still be allowed to collect this information and store it for yearsthey should not have to disclose any of it to the public. However, the fact that the technology can be so privacy invasive suggests that we need more information on where and how it is being collected, not less. This sales video from Vigilant Solutions shows just how much the government can learn about where youve been and how many times youve been there when Vigilant runs their analytics tools on historical ALPR data. We can only understand how LA police are really using their ALPR systems through access to the narrow slice of the data weve requested in this case. We will be arguing these points and others at the hearing on our petition for writ of mandate in Los Angeles Superior Court, Stanley Mosk Courthouse, this coming Friday at 9:30 AM. You can find all of EFFs Sunshine Week posts linked here. 
3	Syrias War Was Only Ever The BeginningBy Tony Cartalucci But to assume the Syrian conflict is on the verge of resolution is to assume the Syrian conflict was fought in a geopolitical vacuum, disconnected from regional, even global agendas. In fact, the proxy war the West waged on Syria was considered for the years before it began, during its planning and preparation stages, as only a prerequisite for war with Iran and a greater global conflict to prevent the reemergence of Russia and the rise of China. At the close of the Cold War, the US sought to establish and maintain itself as the worlds sole superpower. US Army General Wesley Clark, in a 2007 Flora TV talk titled, A Time to Lead, would reveal this post-Cold War agenda by relating a conversation he had as early as 1991 with then US Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Paul Wolfowitz, by stating (emphasis added): I said Mr. Secretary you must be pretty happy with the performance of the troops in Desert Storm. And he said, well yeah, he said but but not really, he said because the truth is we should have gotten rid of Saddam Hussein and we didnt. And this was just after the Shia uprising in March of 91 which we had provoked and then we kept our troops on the side lines and didnt intervene. And he said, but one thing we did learn, he said, we learned that we can use our military in the region in the Middle East and the Soviets wont stop us. He said, and we have got about five or ten years to clean up those all Soviet client regimes; Syria, Iran, Iraq, before the next great super power comes on to challenge us. Revealed in General Clarks statement is a clear, singular agenda, beginning after the Cold War, and evident with Desert Storm, the conflict in the Balkans, the US invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, and the US invasion and occupation of Iraq as well as the overall expansion of US military power projection predicated upon the War on Terror following the attacks on New York City and Washington DC on September 11, 2001. Americas regime change spree included not only the above mentioned wars, but also a series of so-called color revolutions across Eastern Europe. This includes Otpor!s activities between 1998-2004 in Serbia, the 2003 Rose Revolution in Georgia, and the 2004-2005 Orange Revolution in Ukraine. Those involved in these US-backed regime change operations, both within the US State Department and American private industry (the corporate media and IT giants like Facebook and Google), as well as activists from each respective nation, would begin in 2008 to train opposition leaders from across the Arab World ahead of the 2011 US-engineered Arab Spring. The US State Department itself, in a 2008 press release, would admit to organizing a Alliance of Youth Movements Summit, admitting: This Alliance of Youth Movements had organic beginnings in the sense that already, youth movements from around the world that were utilizing online, mobile and digital media were interacting to discuss best practices. The State Department acted as a facilitator to help provide some structure to this trend by partnering with entities like Facebook, Howcast, Google, MTV, and Columbia Law School. Discussed throughout the dialogue featured in the press release were the very tactics used to serve as cover for inevitably violent regime change operations from Egypt and Libya to Syria and Yemen. A look at attendance of the US State Departments Alliance of Youth Movement Summits reveals many of the groups that spearheaded protests upon returning home to the Middle East including the April 6 Youth Movement in Egypt. Eventually, the New York Times in an article titled, U.S. Groups Helped Nurture Arab Uprisings, would admit: A number of the groups and individuals directly involved in the revolts and reforms sweeping the region, including the April 6 Youth Movement in Egypt, the Bahrain Center for Human Rights and grass-roots activists like Entsar Qadhi, a youth leader in Yemen, received training and financing from groups like the International Republican Institute, the National Democratic Institute and Freedom House, a nonprofit human rights organization based in Washington, according to interviews in recent weeks and American diplomatic cables obtained by WikiLeaks. The goal of both direct military intervention and US-engineered color revolutions was to fulfill precisely what General Clark claimed US policymakers sought since the end of the Cold War the elimination of states operating independently that might eventually rival American global hegemony. The destruction of Iraq, the 2006 Israeli war on Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, and continuous efforts to isolate and topple the government in Tehran, were all part of this singular agenda. Throughout US policy papers stretching back for years, it was admitted that the key to ultimately toppling Iran was the destruction of Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the elimination of Syria as an Iranian ally. In 2007, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh in his article The Redirection: Is the Administrations new policy benefitting our enemies in the war on terrorism? would reveal (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. In 2009, US corporate-financier sponsored geopolitical policy think tank, the Brookings Institution, would publish a 170 page report titled, Which Path to Persia?: Options for a New American Strategy Toward Iran (PDF), in which it proposes several options, including having Israel attack Iran on Washingtons behalf. The report states (emphasis added): the Israelis may want U.S. help with a variety of things. Israel may be more willing to bear the risks of Iranian retaliation and international opprobrium than the United States is, but it is not invulnerable and may request certain commitments from the United States before it is ready to strike. For instance, the Israelis may want to hold off until they have a peace deal with Syria in hand (assuming that Jerusalem believes that one is within reach), which would help them mitigate blowback from Hizballah and potentially Hamas. Consequently, they might want Washington to push hard in mediating between Jerusalem and Damascus. It is clear that no peace deal would be struck, and instead, the wholesale destruction of Syria would be orchestrated. Many of the proposals presented in the Brookings report in regards to triggering conflict and regime change in Iran were instead used on Syria. With the US-led destruction of Libya in 2011 through the use of Al Qaeda-linked militants, and the transformation of the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi into a logistical springboard to Turkeys border with Syria, the proxy invasion of Syria began amid already ongoing clashes in the nations urban centers. By 2012, militants flooded over the Turkish-Syrian border, and invaded the city of Aleppo. The destructive war that followed has ravaged the nation, drawn in Syrias allies Hezbollah and Iran, as well as Russia, and may have sufficiently weakened the coalition ahead of the conflicts expansion eastward into Iran and even southern Russia. President-elect Donald Trump has surrounded himself with not only pro-Israeli hardliners like David Friedman, but also a circle who have for years advocated war with Iran including Breitbart News Stephen Bannon and retired US Marine Corps General James Mattis. A similar circle of policymakers would undoubtedly have accompanied 2016 US presidential candidate and former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton into office as well had she won the election her time as US Secretary of State being consumed with the destruction of Libya and Syria, prerequisites for this very conflict. In essence, Washington is positioning itself for a wider confrontation with Iran just as its proxy war in Syria appears to have run its full course and it would have begun positioning itself for this coming war regardless of who won the 2016 US presidential election. In all likelihood, US policymakers envisioned Syria falling much faster and for a lesser cost. With Russia basing a significant military presence in the nation, and with Syrias military distilled down to a highly effective, experienced fighting force, and with Iranian and Hezbollah forces having gained experience fighting a regional conflict, moving the conflict into Iran will be no easy task. It is perhaps because of this, that President-elect Trump has been presented as a potential ally of Russia, and accusations of Russia hacking American elections are being used to chill the alternative media under the guise of combating fake news. With the alternative media muzzled, would it be difficult for US policymakers to once again engineer a large provocation as Brookings Which Path to Persia? report recommended to justify expanding Syrias conflict and Americas involvement in it, into Iranian territory? It should also be noted that systematically throughout the Syrian conflict Israel has attacked Hezbollah infrastructure throughout Lebanon and Syria. Israeli policymakers are likely attempting to maintain a buffer zone between themselves and those who would retaliate in the wake of US-backed Israeli attack on Iran just as Brookings proposed in 2009. US special interests, since the end of the Cold War, have been consumed with confronting and eliminating any threat to their perceived global hegemony. As retired US Army General Wesley Clark warned for years, the US is pursuing a singular agenda since the 1990s, one indifferent to who is in the White House and what rhetoric is being used to sell the myriad of wars and color revolutions required to incrementally achieve and maintain global hegemony. As Russia and China reintroduce a global balance of power, checking US aggression and rolling back US hegemony to a more proportional, multipolar role upon the world stage, the US has increasingly reacted with direct confrontations with both Moscow and Beijing as well as an increasingly violent campaign of proxy wars and regime change operations worldwide. The illusion that a presidential election could derail this singular, decades-long agenda is a dangerous one. In reality, the only obstacle between US special interests and achieving global hegemony are competing centers of power. These include nation-states like Russia and China, or grassroots movements like the alternative media, alternative and disruptive economic models, and political movements built on the power and influence such movements achieve. Such alternatives can undermine the unwarranted power and influence currently enjoyed by the US and the corporate-financier monopolies that dominate its political landscape. Tony Cartalucci, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook, where this article first appeared. The US policy of full spectrum dominance is now impossible but still holds sway in Washington! It portends destruction on a global scale, the likes of which, we have never seen before. Either this policy is discarded and buried, or we will all be discarded and buried. What if the next great super power is not a nation what if its us, the people? This is why they are attacking Alternative News, they dont want us informed of whats going on / state of play. Each of us have to push to make a difference. Good grief! Its easier to fathom when you realise BRICS want to use gold backed currencies, which obviously the US [Zionist bankers] disagree with. 
1	In poll findings which contradict the notion that traditional American values are dwindling, the Gallup Organization announced Monday that 89 percent of citizens still believe in the possibility of achieving the American dream car within their lifetime. 'Contrary to popular belief, optimism is alive and well in 1999,' Gallup spokesman David Feuerstein said. 'Our nation has been through some tough times recently, but it's still a country where Mr. and Mrs. Main Street know that with hard work, faith in God and a little luck, they can make their dream car come true.' According to the poll, belief in the American dream car cuts across all demographic boundaries, with Americans of every income level, color and creed expressing 'high to very high' faith that they can make the car a reality. 'From the poor inner-city youth who dreams of one day owning a fly hoopty with tinted windows, a rear spoiler and booming bass in the trunk, to the wealthy scion of a Texas oil baron who dreams of a fully loaded Italian sportscar upon his graduation from boarding school, people across this great land still have faith,' Feuerstein said. 'Now, that poor kid in South Central L.A. may not get all the breaks. He may not ever get an education. He may not ever be rich. And he certainly won't ever be president. But none of these things will keep him from realizing his dream car.' Experts say belief in the dream car is a positive sign at a time when most citizens are working longer hours for less money than ever. Longer workdays, combined with the rising cost of living, have caused most Americans to abandon the aspirations held by previous generations. The American dream car. 'For most Americans, a $400,000 dream home in the suburbs is out of reach. So is a $70,000-a-year dream job,' said Dr. William Oberst, professor of American Studies at Georgetown University. 'But a $30,000 dream car, well, that's at least somewhat more realistic.' Continued Oberst: 'As the nation has grown, the dream car has grown with it, from Henry Ford's little Model A to the classic mid-sized '57 Chevy to today's 7,000-pound GM Suburban. And as America moves into the future, it is with the strong faith that, at least in terms of our automobiles, anything is possible. Our dream cars will only get bigger.' 'Some cynics would say that America is no longer the land of opportunity, that we've been stripped of our aspirations,' said author and historian John Ambrose. 'Well, look into the eyes of someone walking through a BMW showroom, and you'll know that's not true.' According to the poll, the American way of coveting luxury automobiles is unlikely to change anytime soon: Faith in the American dream car, the poll found, runs strongest among America's young people. 'I'm getting a black Toyota 4-Runner as soon as I get out of high school,' said Hector Ordonez, 16, a junior at Kingswood High School in Salinas, CA. 'And if I can make my dream car come true sooner by dropping out halfway through senior year and working at Burger King, that's what I'll do. Whatever it takes, it's worth it.' 
3	NATO Using Foley and ISIS As A Pretext For Bombing Syria - Ultimate Target Is RussiaBrandon Turbeville With this in mind, it is important to examine the facts surrounding the alleged execution of James Foley and the ways in which this incident is being used to justify more American military intervention in the Middle East and Syria specifically. Questions Surrounding The Authenticity of the Video While beheadings are by no means unbelievable or foreign to the Syrian destabilization crisis, the alleged beheading of journalist James Foley is one that should be viewed with some amount of healthy skepticism. Indeed, there are a number of anomalies associated this particular video that set it apart from the scores of other beheading videos produced by the Western-backed death squads attempting to overthrow the government of Bashar al-Assad and establish an Islamic caliphate across the Middle East. A number of commentators have pointed out that James Foley seems remarkably calm and collected in the video, particularly given the fact that he knows that he is not very much longer for this world. Some may argue that Foley is calm due to fact that he knows he is going to die and has made peace with this fact, a condition that overtakes many when death is imminent. Others, however, may point to this as evidence to the contrary, i.e. that Foley knows he is not going to die and thus suggests that he is, in fact, acting in a cleverly devised propaganda video. Second, there is the fact of a distinct lack of blood in an execution that involves the slicing of a human throat. As Syrian Free Press reports, when one slows down the video, it is evident that the knife held by the death squad fighter cuts back and forth 7-10 times. Yet there is not one drop of blood to be seen. This is highly unusual to say the least. Third, and perhaps most damning, is the fact that the process of the actual beheading is censored. In all the videotaped beheadings that have taken place in the Syrian war since 2011, there have been none (at least as far as this writer knows) that have been censored by ISIS or any other death squad organization. Indeed, if the entire purpose of the beheading video is to create fear and outrage, then censoring the actual beheading is counterproductive. US Controls ISIS Lastly, 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, Image: ISIS corridors begin in Turkey and end in Baghdad. [image credit: Land Destroyer] 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. Propaganda Used Early On To Blame Assad It is also important to keep in mind that, when Foley was originally abducted, it was widely publicized that his captors were the Syrian government itself. This, of course, was a ridiculous assertion and was recognized as such by all legitimate researchers familiar with the Syrian crisis. The American people, however, bought the propaganda hook, line, and sinker. Now that a video has been released of Foley being beheaded by ISIS, the American people have shown that they do not have an attention span that reaches back to when Foley was used as propaganda in Syria the first time around. For those that do have a lingering memory, propaganda pieces have been produced such as that of Michael B. Kelley of Business Insider who laughably claims that Assad may have handed Foley over to ISIS, a group that Assad has been actively fighting since the start of the destabilization campaign in 2011. Kelleys absurd suggestion reaches the point of absolute insanity when he even goes so far as to suggest that Assad created ISIS. Propaganda Purposes in August, 2014 American Bombing Of Syria Regardless of whether or not the beheading video is real, the fact is that it is being used as a shameless piece of propaganda. The NATO powers are certainly not letting a good crisis go to waste. As I have written on a number of occasions in the past, the goal is to drum up support from the American people for a bombing campaign or limited strikes inside Syria for the purpose of creating a buffer zone, a desire of NATO since the destabilization campaign began. The reason that ISIS was allowed to seize such large swaths of territory across Iraq was an attempt to create a justification for the eventual invasion of Syria in addition to the reinvasion of Iraq. Indeed, any deployment of American troops, airstrikes, or any other type of US military force, will necessitate a battle against ISIS inside Iraq as well as cross-border strikes against the organization in Syria. Such cross-border strikes would likely be met with apathetic support from the American people since any restraint regarding borders will be presented and then viewed as placing handcuffs on the troops. Any military action taken across the border inside Syria will not be taken for the purposes of eliminating ISIS. The truth is that such military action will be nothing more than a backdoor attempt at establishing the buffer zone that NATO so ardently desired early on in the Syrian conflict. With the establishment of this buffer zone, a new staging ground will be opened that allows terrorists such as ISIS and others the ability to conduct attacks even deeper inside Syria. This pretext has already been publicly discussed in mainstream media outlets across the world. Take, for instance, the article by Patrick Cockburn published in The Independent on June 19, 2014 entitled Iraq Crisis Exclusive: US Rules Out Military Action Until Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki Stands Down, where Cockburn argues the necessity of a series of airstrikes to be launched against both Iraq and Syria. Cockburn writes, Consider also, the writings of former State Department Director of Policy Planning under the Obama administration, Anne Marie Slaughter, who has been foaming at the mouth every bit as much as John McCain when it comes to the prospect of intervening militarily in Syria. In her most recent op-ed in the New York Times, Dont Fight In Iraq And Ignore Syria, the appropriately-named Slaughter writes, President Obama should be asking the same question in Iraq and Syria. What course of action will be best, in the short and the long term, for the Iraqi and Syrian people? What course of action will be most likely to stop the violence and misery they experience on a daily basis? What course of action will give them the best chance of peace, prosperity and a decent government? The answer to those questions may well involve the use of force on a limited but immediate basis, in both countries. Enough force to remind all parties that we can, from the air, see and retaliate against not only Al Qaeda members, whom our drones track for months, but also any individuals guilty of mass atrocities and crimes against humanity. Enough force to compel governments and rebels alike to the negotiating table. And enough force to create a breathing space in which decent leaders can begin to consolidate power. Bombing Syria A Strike At Russia Slaughters previous op-eds, of course, betray an underlying reason for her obsessive warmongering against Syria the strategic desire to weaken Russia. In this, Slaughter reveals herself as an adherent to the Brzezinski doctrine as it is espoused in The Grand Chessboard.[1] Even if Slaughter does not openly state her affinity for such a destructive and provocative foreign policy by name, her ideology is revealed by both her actions and her work. It is important to point out that Slaughters position should not be construed as merely her own, but as a representation of the desires of the NATO powers that employ her. Indeed, in her April, 2014 op-ed for Project Syndicate, entitled Stopping Russia Starts In Syria, Slaughter is nothing if not obvious about her offensive geopolitical targeting of the Russian Federation as well as that of China and Japan. She writes that, Slaughter essentially argues that Putin is much too strong to inflict damaging geopolitical costs in Ukraine. She suggests that Putin is much weaker in Syria, however, and, therefore, it is Syria where the United States must strike. Slaughter states, It is time to change Putins calculations, and Syria is the place to do it. After repeating the tired, disproven, and borderline idiotic propaganda of Assads alleged chemical weapons attacks, killing his own people, and barrel bombs, Slaughter attempts to cover up what is nothing more than a geopolitical strategy as a humanitarian issue. Slaughter laments the fact that It is impossible to strike Syria legally so long as Russia sits on the United Nations Security Council, given its ability to veto any resolution authorizing the use of force. However, she continues her article by stating that the United States should act anyway, unilaterally or multilaterally, by striking Syria and, at the very least, destroying its fixed wing aircraft. The US, together with as many countries as will cooperate, could use force to eliminate Syrias fixed-wing aircraft as a first step toward enforcing Resolution 2139. Aerial bombardment would still likely continue via helicopter, but such a strike would announce immediately that the game has changed. After the strike, the US, France, and Britain should ask for the Security Councils approval of the action taken, as they did after NATOs intervention in Kosovo in 1999, she states. Slaughter continues by writing, Slaughter, of course, is angry that the incessant and nonsensical propaganda of her former office, the US State Department, and other Western governments across the world have largely failed to manufacture a string of lies that would serve to effectively motivate Americans to gear up for war yet again. So far, on this particular issue, American apathy largely contributed to preventing a war. Unfortunately, with slightly more clever propaganda narratives, that apathy will easily be converted over to the benefit of the world oligarchy. Indeed, with the broadcast of the killing of an American citizen in such a grotesque fashion, that apathy can quickly be converted to rage and nationalistic fervor. Such techniques of propaganda are well understood by elites the world over. As Hermann Goring stated years ago, The American people have tragically proven this statement true time and time again.

2	Here Is The List Of Freddie Grays Long Criminal History The Mainstream Media Is Refusing To Show You Following the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray while in police custody, the media has been quick to paint a picture of racism and unrest. Riots have broken out in Baltimore, and once again we are seeing protestors breaking out in a way that might even top Ferguson. The lesser told story is that of Grays criminal background, which began in 2007. According to the Maryland Department of Justice, Gray has been arrested at least 18 times. While he was not convicted each time, this list tells a very clear tale of someone who is a career criminal.

3	The Real Unemployment Rate: In 20% Of American Families, EVERYONE Is UnemployedMichael Snyder Well, the answer to that question is actually quite easy. There is a reason why government dependence has reached epidemic levels in the United States. Without enough jobs, tens of millions of additional Americans have been forced to reach out to the government for help. At this point, if you can believe it, the number of Americans getting money or benefits from the federal government each month exceeds the number of full-time workers in the private sector by more than 60 million. When I was growing up, it seemed like anyone that was willing to work hard could find a good paying job. But now that has all changed. At this point, 20 percent of all the families in the entire country do not have a single member that has a job. That includes fathers, mothers and children. The following is how CNSNews.com broke down the numbers A number that I find much more useful is the employment-population ratio. According to the employment-population ratio, the percentage of working age Americans that actually have a job has been below 59 percent for more than four years in a row When people cant take care of themselves, it becomes necessary for the government to take care of them. And what we have seen in recent years is government dependence soar to unprecedented levels. In fact, welfare spending and entitlement payments now make up 69 percent of the entire federal budget. For much more on this, please see my previous article entitled 18 Stats That Prove That Government Dependence Has Reached Epidemic Levels. And what is even more frightening is that more families are falling out of the middle class every single day. As a recent CNN article explained, approximately one-third of all U.S. households are living hand-to-mouth. In other words, they are constantly living on the edge of financial disaster The American Dream is rapidly becoming an American nightmare. When I was growing up, I lived in a pretty typical middle class neighborhood. Everyone had a nice home, a couple of cars and could go on vacation during the summer. I dont remember ever hearing of anyone using food stamps or going to a food bank. In fact, I cant even remember anyone having a parent that was unemployed. If someone did leave a job, it was usually quite easy to find another one. But today, the middle class is being ripped to shreds and according to one new report there are 49 million Americans that are dealing with food insecurity in 2014. How can anyone not see what is happening to us? America is in the midst of a long-term economic decline, but the mainstream media and most of our politicians seem to think that things are better than ever. They continue to try to convince us that business as usual is the right path to take. But one-fifth of the families in the entire nation are already totally unemployed. At what point will we finally admit that what we are doing right now is simply not working? 30 percent of all families unemployed? 40 percent? 50 percent? If we stay on the road that we are on now, things are going to continue to get worse. Millions more jobs will be shipped overseas, millions more jobs will be replaced by technology and crippling government regulations will kill millions more jobs. The middle class will continue to shrink and government dependence will continue to rise. Most people just want to work hard, put food on the table, pay their mortgages and provide a nice life for their families. But the percentage of Americans that are successfully able to do that just keeps getting smaller. Wake up America. Your middle class is dying. This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

1	PLYMOUTH, NHEvan Riedel has made reference to his Dec. 20 Scrabble victory over girlfriend Amy Vanderploeg 'about 200 friggin' times' in the days since, Vanderploeg reported Monday. Amy Vanderploeg with boyfriend Evan Riedel, who is still carrying on about his Dec. 20 Scrabble win. 'Evan will not let that Scrabble game drop,' Vanderploeg, 23, said. 'Constantly, he'll say stuff like, 'Do you need help reading that magazine article? I know your vocabulary isn't the best, judging from that round of Scrabble we played.' Give it up already, Evan.' The oft-alluded-to match, which took place at Vanderploeg's apartment, was a decisive 382-183 victory for Riedel, who needed less than one hour to dispense with his girlfriend of three years. Upon winning, he performed a brief victory dance and began verbally taunting his vanquished opponentbehavior that has continued unabated nearly two weeks later. 'He works the word 'esteemed' into conversation whenever possible and then says, 'Gee, I really like that word 'esteemed,'' Vanderploeg said. 'He was so proud that he'd used up those four e's in one word and used all seven tiles.' Vanderploeg added that by placing 'esteemed' across a triple-word-score spot on the board and earning a 50-point bonus for using all his letters, Riedel was able to, in his words, 'rack up a sweet 77' on the turn. In addition to constantly bringing up his best moves, Riedel has relished pointing out errors Vanderploeg made during the game. 'Whenever we see a cat now, he goes, 'C-A-T... Cat!' as a way of making fun of me for putting down such a simple word at one point,' Vanderploeg said. 'Then he usually says, 'You know where cats like to walk? On the catwalk!' That's because instead of putting down 'cat,' I could've added my 'cat' onto the word 'walk' that was already on the board and gotten a lot more points.' Vanderploeg said she should have anticipated Riedel's post-victory arrogance on the basis of his behavior during the game. 'Evan was getting way too into it,' she said. 'At one point, he got a double-word score and actually screamed, 'Boo-ya!''' Scrabble game By the midpoint of the game, Riedel had developed an elaborate tile-picking ritual, shaking the bag vigorously before blowing into it and chanting, 'Come on, come on, please... gimme the Xs, Js, and Zs!' According to Vanderploeg, such theatrics made it difficult for her to concentrate on the game and contributed to her poor showing. 'There were several times when I put down the first thing I thought of, just to get the stupid thing over with faster,' Vanderploeg said. 'Every time it was my turn, Evan would lean across the board and stare at me. It started to get really annoying, but whenever I told him to stop, he'd say, 'What's the matter? Can't take the heat?'' According to noted psychologist Dr. Eli Wasserbaum, Riedel's behavior is rooted in his outsider status during childhood. 'Awkward and ungainly as a boy, Evan never excelled in athletics,' Wasserbaum said. 'He did, however, find shelter in academia. It is natural, then, that he is most comfortable asserting his male competitive instincts in this arena. His frequent allusion to the Scrabble victory can be likened to a male peacock extending his colorful tail plumage before the female bird. With his constant boasting, Evan is not actually trying to annoy his girlfriend but instead impress her and win her approval.' Riedel has engaged in boardgame-victory braggadocio in the past, carrying on about triumphs in such games as Trivial Pursuit, Balderdash, and Outburst. 'One time, we were playing Scattergories with [longtime couple] Jeff [Weitz] and Kimberly [Alford], and Evan got so bad, I had to cut the game short,' Vanderploeg said. 'We didn't see them for, like, three months after that.' While Riedel admits to mentioning the Scrabble victory frequently, he denies any wrongdoing. 'I'm just teasing Amy, is all,' Riedel said. 'Besides, I can't help it if I possess a superior vocabulary and stellar word-formation skills. Ka-ching!' 
1	The election is heating up! As readers of this blog know, even though I do not live in America, I have been following the race pretty closely, and am rooting for my dear old friend John McCain. If he wins, I will be the most popular former torturer in all of Vietnam! I have been watching old Johnny give his big political speeches, just like the ones he used to give to me, except without so much of the begging and the weeping and the screaming for help. I have to say, Johnny boy, I liked your old speeches better! Ha ha. Still, you have to admire the man. After all, he was a brilliant fighter pilot, right? At least, that's what I always thought, back when I used to pass the time by seeing how long old Johnny could hold his breath for. But then, just yesterday, I saw this. According to his Air Force flight record, apparently my pal Johnny was something of a 'Betsy butterfingers' when it came to flying jets. His flight commanders even gave him the sarcastic nickname 'Ace McCain' because he crashed so many times! Maybe one too many times for your own good. Isn't that right, you big pussy? Ha ha. I'm just kidding you, John McCain! I know those reports are only lies spread by your country's Liberal Mainstream Media! They just don't want to see a former captive of the Viet Cong make good! Hang in there, Ace! You can still win this! 
1	After nearly nine years of construction, the Mexi-Canadian Overpass, the controversial $4.3 trillion highway overpass linking Guadalupe and Winnipeg, was finally completed last week, drawing harsh criticism from U.S. citizens and officials alike. Chrtien and Fox at the official unveiling. 'If you're a Mexican who regularly commutes to Canada, or vice-versa, this is great. But what about all of us poor Americans caught in the middle?' said Dallas resident Tom Hitchner, one of an estimated 850,000 U.S. citizens forced to evacuate their homes to make room for concrete supports for the 1,600-mile, 18-lane overpass. 'For Mexico and Canada to do this without any concern for all the Americans whose lives this affects, well, the arrogance is just unbelievable.' 'We just recently installed beautiful picture windows in our home,' said Fargo, ND, resident Judy Renata, whose house is situated beneath the overpass. 'Now, instead of sunlight, we have to look at that monstrosity. We'd sell our place and move elsewhere, but property values have plummeted. I don't know what we're going to do.' In addition to facilitating trade between Mexico and Canada, the overpass is expected to increase tourism in both nations by as much as 60 percent. Boasting hundreds of restaurants, gas stations, and hotels, the state-of-the-art overpass will render it unnecessary for Mexicans or Canadians ever to touch U.S. soil when traveling to and from their respective homelands. The New Overpass Map 'It would be one thing if we somehow benefited,' said Junction City, KS, business owner Neil Grandy. 'But because of the way stations, we don't get anything out of it and have to deal with people tossing garbage out of their windows at 80 mph. You wouldn't believe what we've found some mornings. Everything from tamale husks to broken hockey sticks. The people on that bridge are animals.' Americans' hostility toward the overpass only intensified when it officially opened to traffic Monday. 'The noise and dirt of the construction was one thing,' said San Antonio, TX, resident Floyd Paymer. 'But now, with all the traffic, it's just unbearable. The honking, the chickens, the sound of thousands of cars going back and forth to Canada and Mexico is more than I can take. I can hear those goddamn radios blaring Mariachi music and Rush all day and night.' Despite the public uproar, U.S. leaders say they are helpless to do anything to stop the international project. 'I called up the governments of Canada and Mexico, and, after a lot of runaround, I was informed that the overpass was 'regrettable but necessary,'' Secretary of State Colin Powell said. 'We have a petition circulating in the affected areas of the U.S., but since the overpass is already complete, I doubt it will do much good.' The overpass is expected to significantly strengthen Mexican-Canadian relations. Above: The Mexi-Canadian Overpass looms over a barn in Pawhuska, OK. 'We thought it would be easier to facilitate cultural and economic exchange if the hassle of driving through the U.S. was eliminated,' said Mexican president Vicente Fox, downing a shot of Labatts tequila, a new product from the Canadian brewer. 'After we started discussing the overpass, it didn't make sense not to do it. Now that it's finished, I can't believe we didn't think of it years ago.' U.S. opposition to the overpass began even before construction began in the summer of 1993. Protests have ranged from thousands of residents linking arm-in-arm in front of bulldozers on both borders to a strongly worded 2001 condemnation from President Bush. Bush later reconsidered after meeting with Fox and Canadian prime minister Jean Chrtien. 'I don't know what happened in that meeting,' Vice President Dick Cheney said. 'One moment, George is talking about throwing everything we've got at Canada and Mexico. The next thing you know, he's walking out of the meeting, muttering something about how it looks like we're just going to have to get used to the idea.' Fox said the damage to relations with the U.S. is 'lamentable' but 'inconsequential when compared to the benefits.' 'The Mexi-Canadian Overpass is not merely a bridge made of concrete and steel, but a metaphoric bridge bringing our two great nations together,' Fox said. 'At long last, the people of Canada and Mexico can finally begin to forge the sort of friendship and understanding that was impossible as long as the U.S. stood between us. This is the dawn of a wondrous new era for the people of Canada and Mexico.' 
1	In response to a probe into the bureau's operational costs, FBI director Robert Mueller timidly told Congress Wednesday that the organization he oversees has not technically solved any crimes since 2001. Mueller says the agency has been 'busy with a lot of other stuff' during the 10-year span. After confirming that the FBI does indeed have more than 13,000 special agents deployed to investigate cases all across the country, Mueller stressed that the bureau's internal process was 'complicated,' and that the fact that not one case file has been closed in the past decade is not unexpected. According to records, the last case the FBI officially solved was a Topeka, KS mail fraud offense in February 2001. 'It's hard to explain to a layman precisely how our operations work, but it's really more about analyzing crimes than it is about actually, you know, arresting perpetrators and convicting them,' a fidgeting Mueller said. 'It's a process, is what I'm trying to say. It isn't always so simple as 'solved' and 'unsolved.' That's been especially true this decade, I think.' 'Besides, solving crimes, per se, is relatively basic,' Mueller added. 'We're trying to set our sights a little higher, is the thing.' According to Mueller, while the FBI has worked tirelessly over the past decade to obtain leads, collect a substantial amount of evidence, and organize a thorough criminal database, it has still failed to solve any cases, despite coming close several times. Offering a variety of reasons for the surprising results, Mueller insisted that while many in the agency would love to be solving more federal crimes, in the end, the majority of cases usually work themselves out anyway. 'I think the problem here is that everybody is thinking too narrowly about this whole crime-solving thing,' said Mueller, adding that preventing crimes from happening in the first place was much more important than solving crimes that had already been committed and that no one could do anything about at that point. 'Besides, a lot of the really softball, solvable cases don't come across our desk at all. We let local law enforcement handle that stuff, and, you know, we don't want to step on their toes or anything.' 'Honestly, I don't even associate the words 'FBI' and 'solving crimes' in my mind, really,' Mueller added. Mueller also said that investigative journalists basically solve 20 percent of crimes before the FBI even has a chance. Growing increasingly frustrated, Mueller testified that in a broader sense, the problem of crime could not really be 'solved' unless society were changed as a wholea task, he said, that did not fall under the FBI's purview. 'We spend a lot of hours investigating and we have arrested suspects, but even if you convict someone, what have you accomplished?' Mueller asked. 'At the end of the day, we can slap some cuffs on some creep, but that's not going to bring 15 decapitated kids back. That's not solving anything.' When asked for an accounting of the bureau's $7.9 billion budget, Mueller said a significant portion of those funds were dedicated to eliminating those who question the FBI's accounting. 
1	Suffering from months of drought, New York City instituted alternate-side-of-the-street firefighting Monday. 'On odd-numbered days, even-numbered buildings are not permitted to catch fire,' Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at a press conference. 'For those who fail to comply, we will not be able to put out your fire until the following morning. Your kind cooperation will help conserve water resources throughout the New York area.' 
3	Nearly 40 Million Bee Holocaust in CanadaHeather Callaghan If you think this reframe sounds over dramatic think again. Its that important for the food supply, ecology, and even the economy that these co-creators be able to survive. Recently 25-50,000 bees in Oregon dropped dead with strong evidence pointing to a toxic spray used in trees. The UK just witnessed their biggest bee loss yet, and its been suggested that the U.S. lost 50% of its bee population in the last year affecting both crops and prices. Now we see a massive loss with our neighbors up north in Canada. David Schuit runs Schuits Saugeen Honey near Elmwood, Ottawa, Canada and witnessed a devastating loss of 600 hives totaling nearly 40 million bees. What happened around the same time? A nearby corn field was planted. Bingo. The group of chemical pesticides called neonicotinoids include chemicals produced by Bayer CropScienceand Syngenta has everything to do with this, as seeds especially genetically modified corn are treated before planting. These chemicals have been found in soil, plants, pollen, even in the end product of high fructose corn syrup which is often fed to bees as cheap food to replace the honey they would have survived on. Bees get thirsty too; and there is footage that proves when they drink water droplets from treated plants they can die of neurotoxicity within 25 minutes. Schuit said: Once the corn started to get planted our bees died by the millions OMAFRA [Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food Rural Affairs] tells me to have faith. Well, I think its criminal what is happening, and its hard to have faith if it doesnt look like they are going to do anything anyway. Erika Schuit said: I would say you could call this a, bee holocaust. OMAFRA is sitting on results from testing the bees. Erika believes the samples will prove what scientists already know and have repeatedly concluded about the link between insecticides and die-offs. Their bees were thriving through the winter until the spring planting. She pointed out that pesticide dust from the seed treatment is in the air. Neonicotinoids have a half-life of 120 days but can stay in the soil and water for years. She wonders what they must be doing to us? She has a point: insecticides have been linked to human cancer rates again. Its not just Schuit, though, experiencing the loss. Nearby, growers Nathan Carey and Gary Kenny lost bees this spring and point to insecticides. Kenny lost 8 of his 10 hives after corn planting in adjacent fields. Carey feels like everyone has something at stake with this growing problem. Some of them have taken to holding public workshops to discuss the issue and solutions, as a system that has taken so long to topple over isnt experiencing an immediate redress or relief. A two-year EU ban on neonicotinoids begins on December 1 of this year. Some of the workshop solutions were discussed here and mentioned that other species such as sweat bees, squash bees, leafcutter bees (which pollinate alfalfa) bumblebees, some moths, and many others are dying from pesticides as well as the use of all heavily doused genetically modified crops. Butterflies, fish, birds, and frogs also top the list for lost habitat likely caused by pesticides. Companies like Bayer and Syngenta take great efforts to protect their billion-dollar industries same with biotech giants like Monsanto and DuPont who rely on the idea of pesticides being safe to uphold the use of their genetically modified crops. They are not just going to give all that up to help some bees even though they claim to help with world hunger; yet it is morbidly ironic that they are aiding in killing off the biggest co-creators of the worlds food supply. And this loss which took years to get going was anticipated. Researchers have already launched robotic robo bee pollinators (think: research funds and patents). Large-scale farmers complain that pesticide bans leave them with few options that is truly unfortunate. However, they are already having to hire pollinator help as it is. Think of what it will cost them to have use of robo bees if they even can. The industry headsdownplay the gravity and continue to claim that nothing is wrong, yet they cast blame on their customers the farmers saying they use the products wrong, and also the media, scientists, and activists for allegedly causing undue alarm. Over the years, their solution has been to introduce a safer chemical; and regulatory agencies listened. Its too late for another round of that. Bee keepers see the reality firsthand of losing their hard work and creations within hours. They never know what they might find when they check their hives. Or if their little ones have taken their last flight. Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist. You can see her work at NaturalBlaze.com and selfnewsPost.com.

1	ALDERSON, WVAuthorities at Alderson Federal Prison have detained Becki Uecker, Martha Stewart's personal assistant, for smuggling a cake-decorating kit to her boss in an almond three-layer cake with lemon-zest icing. 'Ms. Uecker attempted to pass a Dessert Decorator Pro to Ms. Stewart during visiting hours,' corrections officer Frank Wickler said. 'Although this device may be perfect for making stars, leaves, and rosettes, it's considered contraband at a correctional facility.' In addition to the frosting gun, the kit included six nickel-plated tips, two tip couplers, and a storage bag. 
2	Florida Gov. Cant Take It Anymore, GOES OFF On Obama On Live TV [VIDEO] Recently, Florida Gov. Rick Scott publicly criticized President Obama for his failed policies in the wake of the Orlando shooting. In an act of fearlessness, Scott said what we have all been thinking. He has been a long-standing defender of the Second Amendment. Recently, he reminded CNN viewers that after more than two centuries, the Second Amendment has yet to kill anybody. Host Pamela Brown mentioned the presidents recent comments on gun control, where he dared critics to meet the families of the Orlando victims to see if they though there shouldnt be any regulation. Scott was quick to respond, Lets remember, the Second Amendment has been around for over 200 years. Thats not what killed innocent people. Evil killed innocent people. What do you think? Is it time that Obama started putting American safety first, instead of trying to limit our rights to protection?

3	Vaccine Tax to Fund the U.S. Deficit?Catherine J. Frompovich, Contributor In the weeks leading up to the Christmas 2012 holidays, some members of Congress got antsy about making certain the push to have everyone vaccinated against the flu would also entitle Uncle Sam to a special tax on each flu shot. Two bills were introduced into Congress: H.R. 6687 in the House of Representatives and S.3716 in the Senate. The House bill stated it was introduced To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to include vaccines against seasonal influenza within the definition of taxable vaccines. Even though the House bill died in committee at the end of the 112th Congress, the Senate version was reintroduced January 2, 2013 by Democrat Max Baucus and Republican Orrin Hatch. The new bill was passed by unanimous consent in the Senate and immediately sent to the House for passage. A real fast track piece of legislation, Id say. A sleeper too, that not many people know about. However, there is specific language in the Senate bill taxing (N) Any trivalent vaccine against influenza or any other vaccine against seasonal influenza. Along with The amount of the tax imposed by subsection (a) shall be 75 cents per dose of any taxable vaccine. Now here, I think, is the economics of all this that possibly was suggested by the Supreme Court ruling that ObamaCare was a tax, not healthcare per se. The CDC projects that 135 million doses of flu vaccine will be dispensed this season alone, which will guarantee about $100 Million in flu vaccine tax that will be deposited into the Vaccine Injury Compensation Trust Fund. Although the taxes raised by the vaccine tax go into a trust fund, this trust fund, like most government trust funds, is on paper only. According to the most recent report on the fund, November 2012, the balance in the fund is nearly $3.5 billion. (Since the programs inception in 1988, the fund has paid out only $2.5 billion in 25 years for cases involving all vaccines, not just the flu vaccine. The balance in the fund could conceivably last another 25 years with no further tax revenue.) The $3.5 billion balance, of course, is invested in US Treasury Securities. In other words, financing a portion of the $16.5 trillion national debt. [CJF emphasis added] Now the very real clandestine reason for all these vaccine mandates seems to rear its ugly head and fall into line for me, at least. Vaccines/vaccinations provide additional taxes, which help finance the current deficit spending by the Obama Administration and others before him, similar to how the Social Security Fund has been ravaged and left with nothing but IOUs. As an afterthought, is vaccine tax money invested in U.S. Treasury Securities the reason why its so hard for children and families who have been injured and damaged by vaccines to receive compensation from the review process by the vaccine court? That vaccine fund money apparently has to support deficit spending rather than go to vaccine-damaged children, the original Congressional intent. What a shame! And now the feds are mandating that everyone 6 months and older get the flu vaccine. Boy, there really seems to be a method to their madness. I think its a money-making racket, and not the publics health and safety, because vaccines do cause damagejust check out the CDC/FDAs VAERS reporting system with over three hundred thousand adverse events reported. However, now that we know what one of the apparent reasons for vaccine mandates probably is, we still need to know whats behind all the neurotoxins and toxic chemicals they inject into infants, toddlers, and adults with each vaccine. Those unhealthful, life-ruining toxins still need to be investigated as to their real reason(s) for being in vaccines. But thats my opinion. What do you think?

1	Saying such periodic events have vastly expanded the scientific communitys understanding of oceanic biodiversity, a study released this week by the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory determined that a significant majority of new marine species are now discovered while cleaning oil spills. After surveying thousands of scientific papers, our team determined that 68 percent of all aquatic birds, fish, marine reptiles, mollusks, and corals discovered over the past 50 years were first identified and cataloged after volunteers painstakingly cleaned the thick, heavy coating of crude oil from them using a toothbrush and noticed their markings and morphology were unlike anything on record, said researcher Sandra Schultz, who confirmed that over 5,000 species previously unknown to science have been identified in the Gulf of Mexico alone since 2010. In fact, the average trash bag that a cleanup worker uses to collect the sludge-coated remains of animals that wash ashore typically contains at least one entirely new subspecies of shorebird, sea turtle, or crustacean. Once all the tar is fully removed from the animals skin, eyes, and lungs, they become prized specimens for study. Schultz noted, however, that most of the new species that are discovered amid vast oil slicks are concurrently found to be extinct. 
3	No Doubt New Cyber Attack on Middle East was State SponsoredEric Blair Researchers believe the malware known as Flame has been stealing and deleting massive amounts of information since 2010. They said it was one of the most complex threats ever discovered. Flame is twenty times larger and far more advanced than Stuxnet, yet it isnt out to destroy as Stuxnet was. Instead, it can record network traffic, take screenshots, record audio from microphones, intercept keyboard strokes, read email and instant messages, while sending all of the data to the attacker and then delete it. As with Stuxnet, Iran seems to have taken the brunt of the damage: Irans National Computer Emergency Response Team posted a security alert stating that it believed Flame was responsible for recent incidents of mass data loss in the country, reported the BBC. It was Iran who sought the help of multinational computer security firm Kaspersky Labs after discovering the loss of data. Flame is not designed to steal money from bank accounts. It is also different from rather simple hack tools and malware used by the hacktivists. So by excluding cybercriminals and hacktivists, we come to conclusion that it most likely belongs to the third group The geography of the targets and also the complexity of the threat leaves no doubt about it being a nation-state that sponsored the research that went into it, Mr Kamluk said. Although its pretty clear to the experts that an attack this sophisticated had to have come from a State sponsor, investigators are unsure of Flames origins. Its become widely accepted that Israel and the U.S. were behind the Stuxnet attack on Iran, a claim repeated yesterday by Forbes and never denied by either government. As the West has yet to face a meaningful cyber attack, one must wonder why theyre pushing so hard for privacy-destroying cybersecurity legislation. Apparently, they know how effective these attacks can be because its beginning to appear as though theyre the only ones using this technology. Indeed, this attack if anything appears to galvanize support for increasing cooperation to protect against cyber threats. As Eugene Kaspersky, CEO of Kaspersky labs said in a statement: Stuxnet and Duqu belonged to a single chain of attacks, which raised cyberwar-related concerns worldwide. The Flame malware looks to be another phase in this war, and its important to understand that such cyber weapons can easily be used against any country. It should be noted that Kaspersky is part of the cyber military-industrial complex which stands to gain immensely as the next phase of this war heats up. Yet they deserve some credit for exposing Stuxnet, Duqu, and now Flame. Otherwise the public would know nothing about them. This is one of many, many campaigns that happen all the time and never make it into the public domain, Alexander Klimburg, a cyber security expert at the Austrian Institute for International Affairs, told Reuters. One thing we know for sure, guys in caves with box cutters couldnt pull this one off. The blame game really cant involve too many players. But since the main damage was done to Iran, this story will likely go away as quickly as it came.However, expect enough buzz from officialdom to propagate the need for cybersecurity legislation.

2	BREAKING: Sarah Palin Just Received Some Devastating News... She Needs Your Support According to recent reports, Fox News just announced that they will not be renewing their million dollar contract with Sarah Palin. While the network says the split is amicable, we doubt shed walk away from that much money willingly. Palin joined Fox in 2010, but left just three years later when Roger Ailes, the networks chief, expressed frustrations at her decision to announce her non-candidacy for president in 2012 on another news outlet. The initial separation lasted only a few months before the major contract was signed and she was back and rumored to be the highest-paid contributor at Fox. Palins popularity on the network was questionable, as she was known to make controversial comments that often brought both her and the network under fire. She also had no problem expressing her distaste for the liberal media. Our liberal media cant be trusted with their reviews, Palin once said. They bash a film like The Passion of the Christ but praiseI dont knowmovies which may be perceived as anti-American. What do you think of Foxs decision? Do you support them dropping Palin or will she be missed? 
2	Rick Perry Faces Criminal Charges For Power Abuse, Prosecutors Want 99 Years In Prison Recently, the Texas grand jury announced an indictment of governor Rick Perry, which could land him between 5 and 99 years in prison. His crime? Vetoing funding for a state agency. Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, a Democrat tasked with overseeing the states Public Corruption unit, was recently arrested for drunk driving. Following the incident, Perry attempted to convince Lehmberg to resign. Democrats protested the resignation, in fear that Perry would replace her position with a Republican. Forced to take action, Perry carried out a threat to veto funding for her agency. The basis for the indictment is weak at best, but Perry is accused of violating two laws. The first is a statute that claims that misusing government property, services, personnel, or any other thing of value belonging to the government that has come into the public servants custody or possession by virtue of the public servants office or employment as an offense. According to the prosecutor, the veto threat was a misuse of these powers. The other statute Perry is accused of violating is the prohibition of anybody in government from influencing or attempting to influence a public servant in a specific exercise of his official power or specific performance of his official duty, or influencing or attempting to influence a public servant to violate the public servants known legal duty. However, that same statute also specially exempts an official action taken by the member of the governing body. Still, prosecutors claim that vetoing the bill is an official action, but threatening the veto is not. What do you think? Will Perry be sent to prison? 
1	Hailing it as among the most intact and substantial Paleolithic-era finds ever unearthed, a team of archaeologists from University College Dublin announced Wednesday the discovery of an ancient human femur that could make a rich, mouthwatering broth. Based on our preliminary analysis, this thighbone dates back some 65,000 years and appears to be ideal for preparing an enticing, flavorful soup stock thats hearty and delicious, said Dr. Harold Brecht, adding that after slowly simmering the recently unearthed prehistoric bone with some sea salt, aromatic vegetables, and a bay leaf, one would have the beginnings of a tasty broth that was at once savory and delicate. Weve also found significant evidence that strongly suggests this early femur could be roasted for extra depth of flavor and then tossed into a crock pot with carrots, parsnips, potatoes, and two to three pounds of beef shank for a robust stew that would be delightful on a chilly day. Maybe with some nice, crusty bread to dip in it, too. Brecht added that he and his research team would have more than enough soup base to last through the winter provided they are able to excavate the remainder of the early humans skeleton. 
2	BREAKING: Biblical Prophecy Just Came To Fruition In THIS Disturbing Way More than two millennium ago, the Bible prophesized the following: See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins. The cities of Aroer will be deserted and left to flocks, which will lie down, with no one to make them afraid. As Conservative posts notes, this is a chilling prophecy when it is translated to modern times. The city formally known as Aeror is actually 11 miles from the banks of the Arnon River in Jordan. Since the Islamic State has occupied the land, it is burning and in ruins. The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim, and royal power from Damascus; the remnant of Arm will be like the glory of the Israelites, declares the Lord Almighty, Isaiah 17:3 continues. The chapter goes on to predict that the city will fight despite those fighting to defend it. This is the portion of those who loot us, the lot of those who plunder us, Isaiah then predicts. What do you think? Will Israel be victorious? 
3	9 Signs The U.S. Government Treats Military Veterans Like GarbageMichael Snyder, Contributor What you are about to read should make you very angry. The abuse, neglect and outright disrespect that military vets receive from their own government is absolutely shocking. We owe these men and women a great debt for the service that they have performed for our nation, but instead the federal government kicks them to the curb and treats them with no honor whatsoever. The way a nation treats military vets says a lot about the character of that nation, and right now the way that America treats veterans says that we have the character of a steaming pile of manure. Multiple Tours Of Duty The U.S. military just keeps sending young men and women back to Iraq and Afghanistan over and over again without any regard for what the consequences might be. If you can believe it, an astounding 20 percent of all active duty soldiers in the U.S. Army are on at least their third tour of duty. Many others have done four tours of duty or more. The following is from a recent Christian Science Monitor article. Some 107,000 Army soldiers have been deployed to war three or more times since 2001, or some 20 percent of the active-duty force. More than 50,000 of those currently in uniform have completed four or more combat tours, Army figures indicate. Record Number Of Suicides The fact that many of our soldiers are spending way too much time in active war zones is a big reason why military suicides are at a record pace so far in 2012. The stress of combat duty builds up over time. The physical, mental and emotional fatigue that comes with serving in combat is immense. Many soldiers see their marriages end, and others are left with severe physical and mental disabilities. At some point many serving in the military cannot take it anymore and they commit suicide. During the month of July, there were 56 suicides in the U.S. military in just 31 days. That is absolutely disgraceful, but very little is being done about the underlying causes of these suicides. Paying To Get Your Medal? Many U.S. soldiers return home from war only to find that they are being billed by their own government. One soldier even discovered that he was going to have to pay a $21 shipping fee to get his Purple Heart. The following is from the Huffington Post. War comes with an incalculable human cost. And apparently a shipping fee of about $21. Retired Sgt. Major Rob Dickerson says thats the price he was forced to pay when his Purple Heart the medal issued to soldiers wounded in action arrived at his door, C.O.D. Instead of being awarded the military honor in a formal ceremony, the vet with 29 years in the service was handed his award, and a shipping invoice, by a FedEx deliveryman outside his Sioux Falls, S.D., home. Endless Waiting For Veteran Benefits You would think that soldiers returning from war should quickly and easily be able to apply for the veteran benefits that they are owed. Unfortunately, the complete opposite is the case. As I have written about previously, applying for veteran benefits is extremely complicated, and VA employees are actually paid bonuses for denying claims. The truth is that we have made it extremely difficult for our military veterans to claim the benefits that we have promised them. Vets have to fill out an absurdly complicated 23 page application and if they make even one small mistake their applications can be stonewalled for years. The U.S. Veterans Administration actually has a policy under which they pay large bonuses to employees that meet certain application processing goals. This explains whyapproximately 70% of the claims submitted to the Veterans Administration are refused or sent back to be redone. In fact, using the Freedom of Information Act, one local NBC station was able to learn that $250,000 was paid in bonuses to VA employees who work inside the Poff Federal Building in Roanoke, Virginia in just one year alone. Not only that, but a report issued by the VAs Office of Inspector General said the department issued millions of dollars in performance awards to employees nationwide over a two year period in 2007 and 2008. According to CNN, one retired VA official was singled out for improperly approving a very large number of bonuses and the report said that she acted as if she was given a blank checkbook to write unlimited monetary awards. Even if you do fill out your paperwork correctly, at best you are going to be waiting many months to find out if your claim is approved or not. The average claim adjudication wait time is as few as 183 days or as many as 300, depending on who you ask. Claims processed in Oakland, Calif., the second-worst backlogged region in the nation according to a May Inspector Generals report, take nearly a year to get approved or denied. The backlog worsened in 2010 when VA Secretary Eric Shinseki added a handful of new medical conditions to the list of ailments presumed connected with exposure to the Vietnam-era herbicide Agent Orange, a move that was lauded by veterans groups. But this month the VA officials announced they were nearing the end of processing about 230,000 retroactive Agent Orange claims. And the majority of the nearly 920,000 total claims still pending before the department remain overdue. Many veterans feel that they would be better off sending their documents into a black hole than sending them to the VA. The level of negligence at some VA offices is absolutely shocking. Back in 2009, a VA office in Detroit turned in 16,000 unprocessed mail and 717 unprocessed documents that were stuck in storage and hadnt even been looked at. Many other documents were found in shredding bins, not just in one office but in several regional offices. The truth is that thousands upon thousands of vets that legitimately should be getting benefits are having their claims denied. Just check out the following example from a recent Veterans Today article. In one case, we found a veteran with 40 percent of his brain removed found to be healthy and employable. He was also missing his right arm. The physician who examined him over looked the arm and failed to note the cognitive degeneration the traumatic brain injury had caused. What in the world is wrong with us? How can we treat our vets this way? Horrific Economic Problems The unemployment rate for veterans is much higher than the overall rate of unemployment, and military veterans are losing their homes at a much faster rate than the general population as well. According to Veterans Today, a shockingly high percentage of military families have been losing their homes since 2008. Figures lie, some groups are counted, some are not. But the lowest figures available have one in three families, this includes active duty serving overseas, reservists and National Guard and veterans losing their homes since 2008. Two thirds of those are now split up with at least one member listed as homeless. Almost all are, according to official figures, living in poverty. 200,000 Military Veterans Sleeping On The Streets Of America The U.S. government does not prepare our vets to come back and reintegrate into society. They just kind of kick them to the curb and hope that they can find jobs. Sadly, homeless vets will be sleeping the streets of every major U.S. city tonight. The following is from a recent article in the Los Angeles Times. According to the latest count by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, the number of homeless individuals in Los Angeles County dropped by 3% between 2009 and 2011. The numbers declined for all groups except one: veterans. There were 9,000 homeless veterans here in 2011, a 24% increase over 2009. And the number of chronically homeless veterans individuals who are homeless because of severe mental disabilities increased by more than 100%, from 1,243 to 2,520. And more are coming. Californias Department of Veterans Affairs estimated in 2009 that 28,000 vets would return from Iraq and Afghanistan per year during this administration. Overall, it is estimated that 200,000 military veterans will be sleeping on the streets of America tonight. Say a prayer for them because they need it. The Shocking Condition Of VA Hospitals When wounded soldiers come home from the battlefield the U.S. government has a responsibility to take care of them properly. Unfortunately, the truth is that many facilities for veterans are absolute hellholes. The following is from a recent article in the Washington Post. Behind the door of Army Spec. Jeremy Duncans room, part of the wall is torn and hangs in the air, weighted down with black mold. When the wounded combat engineer stands in his shower and looks up, he can see the bathtub on the floor above through a rotted hole. The entire building, constructed between the world wars, often smells like greasy carry-out. Signs of neglect are everywhere: mouse droppings, belly-up cockroaches, stained carpets, cheap mattresses. This is the world of Building 18, not the kind of place where Duncan expected to recover when he was evacuated to Walter Reed Army Medical Center from Iraq last February with a broken neck and a shredded left ear, nearly dead from blood loss. How in the world can we do this to our vets? Today, it takes military vets an average of seven months to get an appointment at a VA facility. They are not getting the care that they need, and it would be a tremendous understatement to say that the condition of many VA facilities is absolutely horrendous. A while back, ABC News did an in-depth investigation of conditions at VA facilities across the United States. What ABC News found was absolutely shocking. The following are just a few of the things that they discoveredduring the course of their investigation.. This is the kind of thing you would expect in a third world country, not the United States of America. Funerals And End Of Life Counseling The federal government does not seem to have much respect for veterans at the end of their lives either. You would think that vets should be able to have the funeral services of their own choosing, but in some areas of the country the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has been caught banning the words God and Jesus during funeral services for veterans. Perhaps instead of spending their time poking their noses into funeral services they should spend their time processing some of those backlogged claims for veteran benefits. And the end of life counseling that many veterans are receiving is extremely disrespectful as well. The following is from an article in the Wall Street Journal that described the kind of end of life counseling that the federal government provides veterans. Your Life, Your Choices presents end-of-life choices in a way aimed at steering users toward predetermined conclusions, much like a political push poll. For example, a worksheet on page 21 lists various scenarios and asks users to then decide whether their own life would be not worth living. The circumstances listed include ones common among the elderly and disabled: living in a nursing home, being in a wheelchair and not being able to shake the blues. There is a section which provocatively asks, Have you ever heard anyone say, If Im a vegetable, pull the plug? There also are guilt-inducing scenarios such as I can no longer contribute to my familys well being, I am a severe financial burden on my family and that the vets situation causes severe emotional burden for my family. When the government can steer vulnerable individuals to conclude for themselves that life is not worth living, who needs a death panel? The Obama Administration Has Labeled Military Veterans As Potential Terrorists On top of everything else, the Department of Homeland Security has labeled military veterans as potential terrorists. The following is a quote from a DHS report entitled Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment. The possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks. Sadly, this kind of philosophy is not just reflected in policy papers. Now we are actually starting to see military veterans rounded up and shipped off to mental institutions for evaluation if they express views that the government does not like. For example, you have probably already heard about the Brandon Raub case by now. Brandon Raub is a 26-year-old military veteran who was forcibly detained by the local police, the FBI and the Secret Service on August 16th. He was shipped off to a psychiatric facility because of song lyrics and political views that he had posted on his Facebook page. Thankfully, the Rutherford Institute agreed to defend him and he was released a few days ago. But if he had not had a really good lawyer he could have been rotting in a mental institution for years. Unfortunately this does not appear to be an isolated incident. Just check out the following example from a recent article by Paul Joseph Watson. Radio host Steve Quayle was sent news of an Army combat veteran and Purple Heart recipient in west central Ohio who was the victim of a police raid on the evening of August 22nd during which Miami County Ohio Sheriffs deputies executed a search warrant to seize the mans firearms for the safety of the defendant and the general public, according to the warrant. The veteran, who is currently unnamed, had his guns taken because he was adjudged to be mentally incompetent, despite the fact that his previous VA psychiatric evaluations were all clear, he is not on medication, and he had no criminal record. The man appears to be a respected member of the community he works for a Christian company and his father is a police officer and a pastor. Once a military vet is determined to be mentally ill, he or she can be rounded up by the authorities at any time. And tons of vets are being labeled as mentally ill these days. In fact, one study discovered that approximately one-third of all military veterans returning from Afghanistan and Iraq were officially determined to be mentally ill. It is very dangerous to be a military veteran these days. So why should anyone volunteer to be in the military at this point? It has become abundantly clear that the federal government is not on the side of veterans. The federal government wants lots of warm bodies to throw into battle, but when those bodies get broken the government is not there to pick up the pieces. How we treat our veterans is a national disgrace. Wake up America. You can support this information by voting on Reddit HERE This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

2	Michelle Obama Faces Lawsuit For Abusing Taxpayer Dollars For Travel First Lady Michelle Obama has come under fire after denying the press access to records regarding taxpayer dollars spent on a lavish whirlwind tour of Spain. The trip took place in August of 2010. Details were first requested in 2011, but no facts or figures were ever turned over by the White House. The lack of transparency from the government has cause Judicial Watch to file a lawsuit for being denied their right to request public documents and records under the Freedom of Information Act. The government has kept a close hand on the documents. Liberals claim that the action is extreme, but lets not forget that Michelle Obama used more than $400,000 in funds from a trip to Africa in 2011. Thats no small drop in the bucket. And this time, she brought her friends and family along for the ride. We are not out of our debt as a nation, and we need to know where our taxpayer dollars are going. What do you think? Do we need the Obamas out of the White House ASAP? 
2	BREAKING: Federal Judge Slams Landmark Ruling On Obamacare Down Baracks Throat President Barack Obama cant be happy about this. Just last week, a federal judge made a ruling that the GOP-led House of Representatives has permission to move forward with their lawsuit against the administration. The suit is being brought against the White House for overreaching their authority with healthcare reform law. U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer ruled against the GOP in regards to their claims about the Treasury Department, which implied that they improperly amended the Obamacare law. She did rule, however, the Republicans could pursue claims against the secretaries of the Treasury and Health and Human Services. The constitutional trespass alleged in this case would inflict a concrete, particular harm upon the House for which it has standing to seek redress in this court, Collyer wrote. Of course, it only took moments for the Department of Justice to defend Obama, promising that they would appeal the decision. Speaker of the House John Boehner claimed that the decision proved that historic overreach can be challenged by the coequal branch of government with the sole power to create or change the law. What do you think? Is Obamacare finally going to be shut down?

Pharmaceutical manufacturers, who carefully observe Ocean Spray's projections, are also optimistic that the vast increase in cranberry juice consumption will boost the sales of over-the-counter antidiarrheals. 
2	Lib George Clooney Pays Big After Trying To Smear Trumps Name Like every other liberal activist in Hollywood, actor George Clooney lives in a bubble of fame and wealth. He is completely disconnected from regular hardworking Americans and is oblivious to how devastating President Obamas policies have been. Of course, that doesnt stop from voicing his opinions about Donald Trumpand looking like complete fool as a result. Clooney was reportedly promoting his new film White Helmets about Syrian rebels when he decided to share his unsolicited opinion about Trump and Meryl Streep. Ive always said that about Meryl. Shes maybe the most overrated actress of all-time, Clooney said. She and I worked together on Fantastic Mr. Fox as husband and wife and I will tell you even as a fox, a female fox, shes overrated. Arent you supposed to be running the country? Clooney demanded of Trump. We have to hope that he can do a decent job, because when the president of the United States fails, really terrible things happen. I think were going to be a little unlucky now, he added. I can only hope for the best. What do you think? Are you tired of Hollywoods elite acting like they know everything? 
3	Worlds Smallest Quadcopter Drone Now Available to the PublicBy Joshua Krause You can now buy the Aerius drone for $50, and its about 3x3x3 cm in size. It has a 5 minute flight time, and is small enough to fit inside its own remote control, which doubles as a charger. To see it in action, you can take a look at the promo video its manufacturer used to drum up funding on Indiegogo. As you can imagine, something this small would make it incredibly easy to spy on someone without their knowing. Fortunately, it doesnt have a camera, but the manufacturer mentioned in the YouTube comments of the video that Its a quadcopter, still working on a camera this small. Make no mistake, were rapidly approaching the day when anyone can buy a bug sized spy drone for less than the cost of a cell phone. 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 . 
2	GOP Rep Walks Out Of Obamas Last SOTU Address [VIDEO] According to recent reports, Rep. Steve King of Iowa sent Obama quite the message on Tuesday night after he left his seat empty at Obamas final State of the Union address. The gesture was meant to symbolize the victims of abortion and protest Obamas lack of respect for the law. King told reporters that he would be in the Members chapel, praying for a better leader for this country. Kings move was likely in response to President Obamas announcement that he would be leaving a seat next to Michelle open to recognize the victims of gun violence. They need the rest of us to speak for them. To tell their stories, the White House claimed in a written statement. To honor their memory. Rep. King did not take that message well. I cant abide being lectured to one last time, he told reporters. President Obamas first official ac, immediately upon his inauguration was to sign an executive order to accelerate abortions world-wide. The first tears we have seen him shed in seven years were for the victims of the tragic Sandy Hook School shooting. As far as we know, Obama has never shed a single tear for even one of the more than 9 million babies aborted under his watch. He is the most pro-abortion president ever. King also was one of many to contrast Obamas tears with his lack of emotion for the children at sandy Hook. There will be another empty seat in the gallery during Obamas last State of the Union address. I have reserved it to commemorate the lives of more than 55 million aborted babies, the chorus of voices that have never been heard in this world but are heard beautifully and clearly in the next world, King concluded. My seat on the floor of Congress will also be empty. What do you think? Do you support King taking a stand against Obama and his unlawful actions? 
1	A consortium of Pulitzer Prize winners announced Monday that its members were wracked with feelings of shame and inadequacy knowing that, given The selfnews's continued lack of recognition by the Pulitzer Board, they clearly had received awards they did not deserve. 'This prize is a farce,' said investigative journalist and winner of the 1970 Pulitzer Prize in International Reporting Seymour Hersh, adding that The selfnews's 'searing' coverage of the My Lai Massacre far exceeded his own in breadth and insight. 'I don't feel a sense of pride and accomplishment when I look at my Pulitzer. Instead, I feel angry, like my whole career is a sham. I keep my prize in the bottom of a drawer in my garage so I don't have to be confronted by its lies.' Hersh then offered to do penance by working in The selfnews mail room for free. 
2	Liberals Silent After Martin Luther Kings Niece Does This For Trump [VIDEO] According to recent reports, the niece of Dr. Marin Luther King Jr. has just formally given her endorsement for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. This doesnt work well for the narrative of the Clinton campaign, or anyone who wants to assert that Trump is hated among minorities. I listened very carefully to everything Mr. Trump has said in the last 72 hours or so and I fully agree with so many of the things that hes saying, Dr. Alveda King told Fox News. He has taken a page from the book of my daddy, A.D. King, and my uncle Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. looking at the climate, people and really being concerned about whats happening in every community across America. Earlier this month, King also made the following statement: So, lets overlook personal personality preferences; vote for the candidate with the greater potential to deliver on the issues most closely aligned with our faith and what is good for America. This choice may be uncomfortable. But remember, were trusting Gods wisdom instead of a human candidate (Prov. 3:5-8).For me, its sanctity of human life, procreation, racial justice, economic growth and stability, a positive work ethic, good health, safe borders, domestic harmony, good jobs, sustainable values based education, family stability, and a God-guided U.S. Supreme Court: all biblical. Even the building of the wall. Its not a first! Ezra and Nehemiah did that. What do you think? Do you applaud King for standing up for her beliefs? 
2	Benghazi Survivor Loses It... Tells Hillary Exactly Why She Is SICK According to recent reports, a survivor of the 2012 Benghazi attacks that took the lives of four Americans publicly bashed Hillary Clinton on Thursday night in Connecticuts largest Democratic stronghold. Kris Tanto Paronto is a military contractor, and a former Army Ranger. He claims that Clinton utterly failed as Secretary of State by neglected to send adequate reinforcements when the U.S. mission in Libya was under terrorist attack. Part of the security team that tried to defend the compound, Paronto headlined the annual Lincoln Day fundraising dinner of Bridgeport Republicans. They make up just under 10 percent of the citys electorate. While Paronto did not endorse the GOPs presumptive nominee, Donald Trump, he did promise to work with Republicans to shine a light on what happened in the attacks that killed U.S. ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens. I dont think she has a soul, Paronto said bluntly of Clinton during an interview with Hearst Connecticut Media. I hope it haunts her. I dont think it will. What do you think of Parontos claims? 
1	In surprisingly candid remarks today following his father's death, Kim Jong-un, heir apparent to North Korea's highest government post, expressed doubt that he was sufficiently out of his mind to succeed longtime dictator Kim Jong-il. Kim says the task of somehow becoming 'as loony tunes as [his] dad' is a daunting one. While emphasizing that he was definitely completely insane and would likely become even more so as leader of North Korea, the younger Kim nevertheless wondered if he could ever be enough of a lunatic to truly replace the most unhinged dictator on the planet. 'Obviously, I know I was handpicked because I'm super crazy,' said Kim, the youngest of the late 69-year-old dictator's four known children. 'But my father was just so great at what he did. Did you know the people of North Korea heard his voice exactly once, for like five seconds? How nuts is that? Honestly, I look at stuff like that and I think, 'Wow, there's just no way I can ever top Dad.'' 'We're talking about a world-class nutjob here,' he added. Kim told reporters that since emerging as the presumptive next-in-line to lead North Korea, he had spent countless hours trying to come up with his own brand of craziness that would honor the tradition set forth by his father and grandfather, Kim Il-sung, but would also set him apart. After discovering that many of his best ideas had already been taken by his fatherincluding making citizens bow toward wall-sized portraits of himself or claiming to be a demigod whose moods directly influence the weatherKim admitted he had grown frustrated. 'At this point, I'm not sure what's left for me to do, really,' he said. 'I mean, according to the Ministry of Information, Dad hit 11 holes-in-one the first time he ever played golf. I'm dead serious. Dad had never even picked up a golf club before, and he hit 38 under par. Where am I supposed to go from there? I guess I can say I ran a marathon in 20 minutes, but isn't that pretty much the same thing?' 'It is the same thing, isn't it?' Kim added. 'Ugh.' Kim, who in his rare public appearances wears a plain dark suit, said he ultimately hoped to cultivate an eccentric, yet vaguely sinister look as iconic as his father's pompadour, drab parka, and sunglasses, perhaps something 'even nuttier' involving canes, a large yellow raincoat, or possibly a motorized scooter. Other ideas Kim has had for proving his insanity include placing anyone shorter than himself under permanent house arrest, issuing a new national currency every 90 days, normalizing relations with South Korea, and replacing all medicines with synthetic replications of his own saliva. 'Of course, I have to be careful not to come off as too crazy, because then it would just feel forced and no one would buy it,' said Kim, noting that he was working on some slogans that North Korean schoolchildren would be forced to chant three times daily. 'Then again, maybe having it come off as forced would make me seem even crazier, because what kind of a maniac would go to such lengths to outdo his father? Right? Or is that just a cop-out?' Although Kim's birthday is already recognized as a national holiday and any criticism of him is punishable by indefinite sentences in re-education camps, Kim suggested that the stress of living up to his father's insanity has already taken a toll. 'For years, I haven't even enjoyed the things I used to love, like forcing starving people to perform a five-hour dance routine in my honor, because I spend the whole time obsessing over whether I'm being wacko enough,' Kim admitted. 'That's what was so special about Dad, you know: He never worried about all that stuff, he just acted like himself. What can I say? The old man set the loony bar pretty high.' Added Kim, 'God, I'm really going to miss him, you know?' 
3	The Bilderberg Groups Tax Returns from 2007-2010Editors Note: selfnewss and alternative media are covering the Bilderberg 2012 protests, which you can see on the Livestream feed HERE. Moments ago Mark Dice showed on camera the Bilderbergs Tax Returns that he has posted to his website. These returns reveal a huge amount of corporate and major media sponsorship that undeniably illustrates the interlocking structures which operate around the power center embodied in the Bilderberg Group. The Bilderberg Group operates under the business entity American Friends of Bilderberg as a 5013c3 tax exempt foundation. Their Tax returns, available for download on MarkDice.com show that in 2008 they received $645,000 in contributions to fund their annual meeting, with money coming from Goldman Sachs, the Washington Post, Microsoft, Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller and others. How did I get these documents? Well, the IRS requires 501c3 Tax Exempt Foundations to make certain records public. I guess you just have to know where to look. The documents list James Johnson as the Treasurer of American Friends of Bilderberg, who is also the chairman of Perseus LLC, a merchant bank and private equity fund management company based in Washington D.C. with offices in New York and an associated advisory firm in Munich. The firms website explains the significance of their name, saying, Over the centuries, images of Perseus have reflected not only the tenor of the times in which they were created, but also variations in the telling of the myth. Here Perseus appears as a classically -inspired yet clearly Renaissance figure. He holds a sword, rather than the sickle of Hermes, as described in most classical sources.

2	US Marine Tears Obama A New One On The White House Stage [VIDEO] 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	Americans Outraged Over Obamas Complaint About His Vacations The Obamas are notorious to the American public for the lavish vacations they are known to take. The most recent case of this was a trip to Marthas Vineyard, during a time when the country as whole needs him to be in office making some actual decisions and taking action. Now, Obama is making complaints about his vacation, and his comments are expected to make him more unpopular than ever. Although the presidential family took a vacation for two weeks, some believe that Obama is abusing his privileges. There are no breaks when it comes to the problems that Americans are facing. Obama was quoted complaining about the temperature of the ocean during his vacation, claiming that the water was too cold. He compared the weather of Marthas Vineyard to the weather in Hawaii. He then complained about not being able to go swimming. What do you think? Is the president absolutely out of hand?

1	Thomas the Tank Engine told reporters Tuesday that while he's glad trains are a source of fascination and joy for so many children, he often feels uncomfortable with the attention he receives from the autistic fans that make up the majority of his fan base. 'Don't get me wrongI'm grateful that these kids enjoy me so much, but I think the way they're enjoying me is not really so healthy, and honestly not the way I would choose to be appreciated, personally,' the anthropomorphic locomotive said between stops on his Mystery On The Rails tour, where he observed that children with autism 'outnumber the normal kids by at least three to one.' 'It would be nice to have some indication that my messages about friendship and sharing are being heard rather than have a pack of totally silent, open-mouthed 6-year-olds stare unblinkingly at my shiny wheels for an hour. It creeps me out.' Thomas the Tank Engine's comments come on the heels of the controversy surrounding Sesame Street's Snuffleupagus, who last month incensed gay rights groups after saying that he was confused and somewhat disturbed by his massive, rabid homosexual following. 
1	Describing it as a real close call, a local seagull suffering from an acute case of diarrhea told reporters that he was barely able to make it to a crowded public beach in time to relieve himself Monday. Oh, man, I really had to go and there wasnt a sunbather or occupied picnic table in sightI honestly didnt know if I could hold it, said the gray and white seabird, who reportedly uttered a deep, contented sigh of relief upon finally reaching a densely packed group of beachgoers and releasing a voluminous torrent of loose fecal matter. The last thing you want is to just go right there over the water or a bare stretch of sand. But thankfully I spotted a few families without beach umbrellas and was able to make it just long enough. Must have been some bad parking lot hot dog I ate. At press time, the seagull reportedly felt another oncoming, urgent bowel movement and was rapidly racing toward the nearest convertible. 
2	Terrorist Bomber Arrested At Trump Campaign Rally After Doing THIS Peter Rondon, a 29 year old man, was arrested this Wednesday at Donald Trumps campaign rally. He was charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct. This is, however, the same man that was charged earlier with trying to bomb a military facility. He is connected to ISIS, and although he is a danger to America, the police can not hold him without more solid evidence. He was only sentenced for one year for the previous bombing attempt. Rondon was pushing through the crowd and yelling before he was forcibly removed. He refuses to plead guilty and his trial will be held on Monday. Should Peter Rondon be sentenced to life in prison for attempting to bomb as military facility? 
1	Teach For America, a national program that recruits recent college graduates to teach in low-income rural and urban communities, has devoured another ethnic-studies major, 24-year-old Andy Cuellen reported Tuesday. Cuellen stands in front of the elementary school where he used to teach. 'Look, the world is a miserable place,' said Cuellen, a Dartmouth graduate who quit the TFA program Monday morning. 'All peopleeven childrenare just nasty animals trying to secure their share of the food supply. I don't care how poor or how rich you are, that's just a fact. I'm sorry, but I have better things to do than zoo-keep for peanuts.' Just one of the 12,000 young people TFA has burned through since 1990, Cuellen was given five weeks of training the summer before he took over a classroom at P.S. 83 in the South Bronx last September. 'I walked into that school actually thinking I could make a difference,' said Cuellen, who taught an overflowing class of disadvantaged 8-year-olds. 'It was trial by fire. But after five months spent in a stuffy, dark room where the chalkboard fell off the wall every two days, corralling screaming kids into broken desks, I'm burnt to a crisp.' Cuellen said his TFA experience 'taught him a lot about hopelessness.' 'The cities are fucked. The suburbs are fucked. The whole country is fucked,' Cuellen said. 'And there's not a goddamned thing you or anyone can do about it. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something. Or trying to get you to teach kids math.' According to Dartmouth literature, as a member of the ethnic-studies department, Cuellen learned 'to empower students of color to move beyond being objects of study toward being subjects of their own social realities, with voices of their own.' Teach For America executive director Theo Anderson called ethnic-studies departments 'a prime source of fodder.' 'Oh, I'd say we burn through a hundred or so ethnic-studies majors each year,' said Anderson, pointing to a series of charts showing the college-major breakdown of TFA corps members. 'They tend to last a little longer than women's studies majors and art-therapy students, but Cuellen got mashed to a pulp pretty quickly. It usually takes ethnic-studies majors another year to realize that they're wasting their precious youth on a Sisyphean endeavor.' Continued Anderson: 'Of course, we don't worry about it too much. Every year, there's a fresh crop to throw in the grinder. As we speak, scores of apple-cheeked students are hearing about TFA for the first time.' According to Anderson, a small portion of these students will lose interest after hearing horror stories from program alumni. 'But the majority of them will march on like cattle to the slaughter, thinking that pure determination and hope can change young lives,' Anderson said. 'I can hear their footsteps now, marching toward our offices like lemmings to a cliff. And believe me, we're ready for 'em.' Cuellen said he applied to TFA in search of a 'character-building experience.' 'I knew that teaching in a severely under-funded inner-city school would be challenging, but I wanted to get out into the real world,' Cuellen said. 'Well, breaking up fistfights between 8-year-olds all day long, I got a real ugly view of reality. Do you want to know reality? Look at a dog lying dead in the gutter. That's reality.' Although Cuellen quit the program early, his mother said he was with TFA long enough for it 'to crack open his bones and suck out the marrow inside.' 'Andy is a ghost,' Beverly Cuellen said. 'Those [TFA] people beat the idealism out of him, then they stomped on him while he lay there gasping for air.' TFA regional coordinator Sandra Richman said it is common to blame the TFA employees for the organization's high plow-through rate. 'Should I have said something to wake those kids up sooner?' Richman said, crushing out her seventh cigarette. 'Probably. But listen, no one can tell you that you can't make a difference. It's something you have to figure out for yourself.' 'You can only do so much,' Richman added. 'After a couple years of trying to teach our applicants about how difficult and depressing their lives will inevitably beno matter what they choose to do for moneyI just got burnt out. In the end, you've gotta resign yourself to failure and move on with your life.' 
3	Switzerland Follows Iceland in Declaring War Against the BankstersBy Isaac Davis Iceland has gained the admiration of populists in recent years by doing that which no other nation in the world seems to be willing or capable of doing: prosecuting criminal bankers for engineering financial collapse for profit. Their effective revolt against thebanking class, who drove the tiny nation into economic crisis in 2008, is the brightestexample yet that the world does not have to be indebted in perpetuity to an austere and criminal wealthy elite.In 2015, 26 Icelandic bankers were sentenced to prison and the government ordered a bank sale to benefit the citizenry. Inspired by Icelands progress, activists in Switzerland are now making an important stand against the banking cartels and have successfully petitioned to bring an initiative to public referendum that would attack the private banks where it matters most: their power to lend money they dont actually have, and to create money out of thin air. Switzerland will hold a referendum to decide whether to ban commercial banks from creating money. The Swiss federal government confirmed on Thursday that it would hold a plebiscite, after more than 110,000 people signed a petition calling for the central bank to be given sole power to create money in the financial system. The campaign led by the Swiss Sovereign Money movement and known as the Vollgeld initiative is designed to limit financial speculation by requiring private banks to hold 100pc reserves against their deposits. [The Telegraph] Switzerland is in a key position to play a revolutionary role in changing how global banking functions. In addition to being the worlds safest harbor for storing wealth, it is also home to the Bank for International Settlements(BIS),a shadowy private company owned by many of the worlds central banks, and acting as a lender to the central banks. The BIS is the very heart of global reserve banking, the policy that enables banks to lend money that does not actually exist in their bank deposits, but is instead literally created electronically from nothing whenever a bank extends a line of credit. Reserve banking is thepolicy that guarantees insurmountable debt as the outcome of all financial transactions. The Sovereign Money initiative in Switzerland aimsto curb financial speculation, which is the intended and inevitable result of reserve banking, the tool that makes financial adventurism possible by supplying the banks with endless quantities of fiat money. Limiting a banks ability to produce money from nothing would be a direct blow to the roots of the banking cartel, and would cripple their ability to manipulate the world economy. Heres how it works, in rather simplified terms: if we had access to the same computer terminals the banks have, we could magic in or out of existence all the imaginary stuff we are trained to think of as important money in whatever quantities we liked. This is how it works: when they print quite a lot of this stuff there is a boom. When they print too much of it, there is inflation (actually, the printing of money is inflation). When they stop printing it or simply hold on to it, there is a depression. [Source] In Switzerland, 90% of all money in circulation is electronic, and for this, The National Bank of Switzerland has become the direct target of the Sovereign Money Campaign. Swiss law has in the past required required banks to back all currency creation with collateral assets like physical silver or gold, however in recent decades the climate has changed, and, due to the emergence of electronic payment transactions, banks have regained the opportunity to create their own money. The grassroots campaignsaid in a public statementregarding the intentions of the referendum, banks wont be able to create money for themselves any more, theyll only be able to lend money that they have from savers or other banks. This is an interesting twist in the human saga of man vs. banks, and while it remains to be seen if the referendum passes or not, it must be pointed out that it does have its own problems, articulated bySam Gerrans: it does say that the central bank should be given sole right to create money. This would essentially leave the creation of money in the same hands as those who control the Federal Reserve or the Bank of England rather than allow them to farm out the process. But at least it shows that people are beginning to wake up to where the true power lies. In the unlikely event that this grass-roots movement in Switzerland should get its way and its proposed legislation be enacted, and then begin to morph into something which really does threaten the banking elite, we must not be surprised if Switzerland is shortly discovered to be harboring weapons of mass destruction, or to have masterminded 9/11, or to be financing Islamic State. Part of the cultural conditioning of our time is an ingrained, presumed dependency on sacred cow institutions like banking. Just like it is impossible for most Americans to envision a world without Democrats and Republicans, it is difficult for most people to imagine a world without predatory global banking. Yet, there are a number of other possibilities for trading, storing wealth, and facilitating development in the world. This is not the only economic system we can imagine, and as Iceland has proven, people can regain control of their collective wealth, so perhaps this revolution will foment further in Switzerland, presenting a chance to at least bring greater awareness to the truth about central banking. Image Credit Isaac Davis is an outspoken advocate of liberty and an honest society from the top down. He is a contributing writer for WakingTimes.com. Follow him on Facebook, here. Looks like some activists will be falling off buildings soon. Dont expect something like this to ever happen here in the U.S. Because the bankers own the government. You dont think Swiss bankers own the govt in Switzerland? They have for eons, check it out, its well-known. Banksters need to go KUDOS to Switzerland. a much more humane system no USURY. Yes, thats the problem, usury, not fiat money. The banks dont create money, they create IOUs of money, They do so whenever they make a loan. Digital money is an IOU of real money, notes and coins, which is fiat money. When a bank makes a loan, it doesnt lend real money, it adds the amount of the loan to the borrowers account. This means that the bank owes the borrower that amount in real money (in fact, the borrowers account is part of the creditors side of the banks general ledger). At the same time the bank creates another account in the name of the borrower with the same amount in it but with a minus sign in from of it. This means that the borrower owes the money back (this account is on the debtors side of the ledger). And the world trades with these positive accounts, these IOUs from banks to borrowers, i.e., digital money. Now, because this money wasnt issued by Congress, it is in fact counterfeit money. And because no real money is actually lent to borrowers, the bank doesnt risk any of its own real money. But the bank pretends it HAS lent its own money, or their depositors real money (notes and coins), and charges interest as though it had. This is true usury, not only because of the huge amount of interest charged (up to double the principal in a typical housing loan), but because the bank hasnt risked any of its own or of its depositors money. Clever trick, huh, these two IOUs and the lie that digital money is real money and the bank runs a risk of losing any real money because the borrower may not pay the loan back and that therefore it is entitled to charge exorbitant interest. . and if you default on the mortgage, no matter how long youve been paying the non-existent money back for, they get to take your home and sell it at another profit. what a cracking con game banking really is, and still nobody really knows. Agreed. However I think you meant pier not pear which is a fruit. What is wrong about a pair of pears that have no pier; the fruits of missed keystrokes that have been pared off from achieving parity in this miserable world of piering perhaps too myopically into the world of spelling? not pear pier. I thought the Swiss WERE the bankers. The Swiss federal government confirmed on Thursday that it would hold a plebiscite, after more than 110,000 people signed a petition calling for the central bank to be given sole power to create money in the financial system. Thats not reform. What nation, determined to live within its means, i.e., balance the budget, has need for anything other than a functioning Treasury Department, such as existed in the U.S. until WWI? Switzerland, which wisely maintained neutrality in WWI and WWII, but trained each citizen with military skills to ensure that it could, unlike Belgium, enforce its neutrality, had no need to become involved in the very wars that were historically the basis for central banking in the first place, is the last place that need a parasitic central bank at all. I like what Switzerland and Iceland are doing. America needs to audit the Federal Reserve then shut it down. Its obvious the Fed, the Executive, and Congressional branches spending are responsible for Americas massive deficit and bankrupt economy. LOL, the evil residence is there do think they are to let this go thru, maybe for show. But not for real, it will be just buried in hidden legislation and go on as usual. Why do think they were neutral in so many wars, to protect the banksters. I cannot see the advantage of stopping the smaller criminals but letting off the biggest criminals. If central banks are not stopped from lending money they dont have, it is hardly useful. Only an elected government should be allowed to create money and even then not as much as to reduce the purchasing power of the currency. ITs still a privately owned central bank who board consists of owners of the big corporate banks, it will make no difference at all. Dont forget the Swiss Gold Referendum and how that turned out. There is one way that I believe we could get rid of the Central Bankers their reserve banking system without complete chaos setting in! Off course we would also need to build the president an underground bunker to reside in so that he doesnt meet the same fate as JFK! over 100 years ago the great thinker,John Dalberg-Acton,Lord Acton. was quoted as saying This must be a joke. Switzerlands banking system is the center of banking deceit. Thats where many of the banking elitists live lol. Did they not, over time, lobby to have the regulations relaxed and eventually done away with? The world needs to do away with these gangsters, who know fine well all political types can be bought. 
3	Super Bowl XLVII to Receive Enhanced Security Including NORADJoe Wright NORAD has been conducting drills under a security exercise labeled Exercise Falcon Virgo 13-Super Bowl. According to Government Security News: NORADs presence will be among a bevy of enhanced security measures that will put stadium-goers through unprecedented screening and surveillance, as well as the general traveling public caught in its web. The official NFL Super Bowl website alerts attendees: While F-15s and customs and border protection agents fly overhead, this Super Bowl is sure to have the latest security gadgets on hand inside the venue as well as the airport and the surrounding area, much as they did for the previous event including smartphone-wielding undercover police sending livestream data to local headquarters, X-ray trucks, and radioactive threat detection, amid the low-tech gropedowns. This year nearly 70 agencies will combine forces to heighten security with snipers, HAZMAT teams, and an array of land, sea, and air protection according to a CBS report. The video below, featuring Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, goes behind the scenes with the FBI to show some of the integrated systems that will be on display for this Super Bowl. The TSA will once again be inside the venue, and their site states that they will double their presence inside the airport and out on the streets with VIPR teams covering mass transportation: Every year since 9/11, we have seen a justification to employ the very same agencies that failed (or supported) that day including the unprecedented stand down of NORAD. Taxpayer dollars continue to pour in for increased military-grade security around entertainment venues and sports. Until people get fed up en masse and boycott these events, we will continue to be looted and groped based entirely on the War on Terror hoax, giving implicit approval for these agencies to expand their activities to any area of America they wish.

1	Challenging years of research examining the cognitive and biological processes underlying human memory, a new study by researchers at Georgetown University has found that all experiences of the past stored in a persons mind are in fact information artificially implanted five minutes ago when our universe was first created. Previous studies suggest that human memories are created over time through the formation of neuronal connections enhanced and strengthened through meaningful association, but our research suggests that all of our perceptions of the past, including recollections of important life milestones and learned knowledge of events in human history, were in fact inserted into our brains at the universes moment of creation a little more than five minutes agofive minutes and 13 seconds ago, to be exact, lead researcher Dr. John Isherwood said of the studys findings, which, like all cognitive research he and his team believed they had conducted in the past, was manufactured and implanted in his brain just over 300 seconds ago when the cosmos and all its contentsand, indeed, all of existence itselffirst came into being. In fact, everything we remember or know of the pastincluding loving memories of family and friends, families and friendships themselves, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the Industrial Revolution, the Roman Empire, Stonehenge, the Cretaceous Era, the Big Bangnever happened at all, and are in fact artificial impressions of reality implanted into our minds by an unknown entity, or entities, shortly before I just now began presenting the results of this study. Researchers added that they are confident the studys findings will help shape prevailing scientific thought on cognitive and brain processes in the future until the end of the universe, which is projected to occur approximately three minutes from now. 
2	Obama Signs New Executive Order That Aims Directly At 1st Amendment President Barack Obama kicked off the New Year with an announcement about an executive action that was set to limit the Second Amendment. Now, it appears that hes expanded his efforts toward destroying the First Amendment as well. According to recent reports for the New York Times, Obama is currently drawing up a new executive action that would require companies that do business of any kind with the government to disclose their contributions to groups that spend money to influence campaigns. The action would not directly prohibit corporations from obtaining government business, it does suggest that donating to the undesired party might actually cause the corporations to lose the business they do have. If Obama moves forward with the proposal, it will mark yet another time he has attempted to bypass Congress and limit the power of the Constitution. While we will continue to examine additional steps we can take to reduce the corrosive influence of money in politics, only Congress can put an end to it, Brandi Hoffine, a spokeswoman for Obama, told reporters. Businesses have already expressed their outrage about the executive action, claiming that it is designed to intimidate corporations. The real goal of the disclosure proponents is to harass, intimidate and silence those with whom they disagree, Blair Latoff Holmes, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, commented. We continue to believe that ones political activities should play no role in whether or not you get or keep a federal contract, and we encourage the administration to leave this bad idea right where it is, she added. What do you think? Do we need a President who actually respects Congress and the way our government is designed to operate? 
3	Should Women Register for Selective Service?By Julie Borowski Well, we are all equal arent we? Hillary and Carlie should be first in line considering how tough they talk. The military is in shambles. The young leaders who would have become great senior leaders left, due to the perpetual wars, bureaucracy, and general disregard for the soldiers life and well being. What remained was a bunch of position hungry, money hungry people. Also the high rate of suicide had to put a dent into the armed forces, forces. Volunteering to serve, or agreeing to be drafted at this point is only a death sentence waiting to be carried out. The most ironic part.. That death sentence isnt for protection of America, or its people, or its freedoms. That death sentence is for corporate greed. So, good luck with that. I guess if you want to look at it from the viewpoint of, Im going to die for something anyway, might as well die for my country. Please do make it something that will actually improve your country, as opposed to something that will assist in harm to your country. Such as, perpetual wars, bureaucracy, and having no regard for your life and well being, as well as the people whom you share this earth with lives and well being. Well If I have to die fighting then let it be for the money that they have stolen from me already, and for the money they are planning on stealing from me tomorrow. The only enemies of the United States are the ones the rich have created by proxy use of our own kids, and with the tools we the people have paid for. If anyone should plan on fighting for something worthwhile then let it be to banish the concept of Billionaires standing atop the bodies of millions for fat bank accounts. The way I feel about it Them, their words, and their money has no value to me. I wouldnt fight or die for one cent, nor a million of their promises. They have stolen nothing from me, and they dont have the ability to do so. They are just men attempting to be relevant with parlor tricks. They know Humans are instinctually inclined to follow money, because money is a representation for vegetation, which leads to water. They delight in carnage, my delight is wisdom. Those are my thoughts about it. Nope I find it unethical and it will lower morale and take away jobs from men. At this moment millions of grown men are living with mom and dad . If anything its time to find ways to get more men to join the military rather than work in jobs with no benefits and no future and no ability to start a family. Nope, no one should register. Its unethical and immoral because the system is in reality one based on creating wars and mass death. Catherine Austin Fitts coined the phrase The Central Bank and Warfare Model. Making money by creating fake wars is what its been all about. Stop believing their lies, stop voting for criminals and mass murdering psychopaths, for enemies of the people who tear up the Bill of Rights. Turn your back on this system entirely. Refuse to validate that it has any power or rights over you. no. And Yahweh spake saying, Take ye the sum of all the congregation every MALE by their polls; from [not twenty-one or eighteen, but) twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war. (Numbers 1:1-3) Had the 18th-century founders established a biblical government based upon Yahwehs moral law (including His warfare statutes), sending Americas daughters as cannon fodder into the next international bakers war wouldnt be a likely reality. For more on how Yahwehs unchanging moral applies today, Google free online book Law and Kingdom: Their Relevance Under the New Covenant. Then, find out how much you REALLY know about the Constitution as compared to the Bible. Take our 10-question Constitution Survey in the right-hand sidebar and receive a complimentary copy of a book that EXAMINES the Constitution by the Bible. Yep. Come home with PTSD and your legs blown off and tell your kids, Mommys a murderer. Great moral lesson and family values! Patriotism is a hollow scam of the 1%. They dont send their kids, girls or boys. Yes. Women should be wholly part of the entire conversation regarding war. Might as well. It is better than being FORCED to submit to Sharia Law and thrown away like a used tarpon. 
3	Want A Pretty Corpse? Drink Fluoridated WaterSayer Ji A few years ago, we reported on a study evaluating a new diagnostic technology that inadvertently revealed a link between fluoride exposure and coronary artery disease. Our report stirred up quite a lot of controversy and criticism, even leading one of the most respected figures in alternative medicine (deservedly so) Dr. Russell Blaylock to call us out on Infowars for our allegedly sophomoric interpretation of the following article: Association of vascular fluoride uptake with vascular calcification and coronary artery disease. As one can see, the studys results revealed a hitherto largely unknown connection between fluoride exposure, coronary artery disease and cardiovascular events (e.g. heart attack). There was significant correlation between history of cardiovascular events and presence of fluoride uptake in coronary arteries. The coronary fluoride uptake value in patients with cardiovascular events was significantly higher than in patients without cardiovascular events. The argument, at the time, was the study was simply about a new diagnostic technique and shouldnt be read into, and that, presumably, the increased fluoride uptake value observed in patients with a higher frequency of cardiovascular events was an effect of the heart disease itself and not in any way indicative of fluorides causative role as a cardiotoxic agent despite the fact that fluorides cardiotoxicity has already been consistently demonstrated in the biomedical literature. Now, a provocative new study published in the journal Toxicology not only provides some vindication for our previous interpretations, but also raises serious concern over the cardiovascular complications associated with water fluoridation practices, showing for the first time that despite exhibiting an anti-calcification effect in vitro (cell model) fluoride exposure at levels found in people who drink fluoridated water exhibits artery-calcifying effects in the more important in vivo (animal) model. Titled, Effect of water fluoridation on the development of medial vascular calcification in uremic rats, the study opens with a description of the common medical justification for public water fluoridation: In order to improve dental health in the population, fluoride is included in tooth pastes and mouthwash solutions or is added to public water supplies at 0.51.5 mg/L (WHO, 2008), which has been a common practice in some countries since 1945. And yet, the study acknowledges that fluoride is a well-established toxicant that our body has to either incorporate into its tissues or excrete through the kidneys to sequester or eliminate: More than 90% of ingested fluoride is absorbed through the intestine and quickly distributed between plasma/soft tissues and calcified structures, where it can be sequestered for years (Buzalaf and Whitford, 2011). When water is fluoridated at the WHO- recommended levels, the range of plasma fluoride concentration is usually 16 uM (Husdan et al., 1976; Singer and Ophaug, 1979). Fluoride is not under homeostatic control, and it is cleared from the plasma within few hours by the complementary action of calcified tissues and the kidneys. Those with chronic kidney disease have a harder time clearing the fluoride, which results in increased blood plasma levels, especially as the length of exposure increases. The study noted that in healthy people, almost without exception, fluoride accumulates in the aorta, and in the elderly can exceed 100 ug/g [microgram/gram] tissue. Since atherosclerosis involves the gradual hardening and final calcification of the arteries with a form of calcium known as hydroxylapatite, fluorides role in replacing hydroxyls within hydroxylapatite crystals to form fluorapatite can be considered enhancing the cardiotoxicity of these calcium deposits due to the fact that fluorapatite is less soluble than hydroxylapatite and therefore more resistant to the bodys demineralization mechanisms (or de-calcification with natural substances such as magnesium, hawthorn or vitamin K2). The authors address this point: From a therapeutic point of view, this incorporation [of fluoride into hydroxylapatite as fluorapatite] may involve an additional problem, because these calcifications will be more difficult to eliminate, if at all possible. The report discussed how despite the observation that fluoride accumulates in the main arteries, the effects on the vascular wall are not clear. A brief review of the literature shows highly contradictory results, with some studies implying fluoride exposure actually reduces aortic calcification and others showing (as would be expected) deleterious effects on the cardiovascular system. This uncertainty was one of the main reasons they designed their study: The aforementioned divergent findings can be explained by the use of different procedures, including very high doses of fluoride, the duration of treatment, and the animal species, in addition to either an experimental or epidemiological setup. In this work, our objective was to clarify the effect of fluoride, if any, on the development and course of medial vascular calcification (MVC, Mnckebergs sclerosis) in uremic rats, using low, recommended concentrations in drinking water. Our rationale was that de novo calcified tissue in aorta should incorporate fluoride when exposure to this halogen is concomitant with the course of calcification, and subsequently the rate of calcium phosphate crystallization and/or mineralization should be altered, similar to the effects in tooth enamel or bone. We used two established experimental models of calcification, rat aortic smooth muscle cells incubated with 2 mM Pi, and rats with 5/6-nephrectomy [5/6th of their kidneys removed to model chronic kidney disease] and fed a Pi-enriched diet [Pi = Inorganic phosphate], in combination with low concentrations of fluoride (similar to that of public water fluoridation). Our findings have shown that the results are inverse depending on the experimental model, which highlights the need to carry out in vivo approaches when studying complex multifactorial processes, such as Mnckebergs sclerosis [a type of arterial calcification]. The study found a striking contrast between the in vitro (cell model) and in vivo (animal model) results: within the former, fluoride prevented calcification, within the later, it enhanced medial [middle portion of the artery] vascular calcification in the arteries of animals whose kidneys were weakened. Keep in mind that they did not use mega doses of fluoride in the animal study, opting for the administration of the World Health Organizations recommended concentration of fluoride in public drinking water to prevent cavities. The researchers determined that fluorides adverse effects on vascular function in the animal model were mediated by the inherent kidney-damaging properties of fluoride (nephrotoxicity). Whereas healthy individuals are not prone to significant or at least acutely discernible damage from low level fluoride exposure (though some functional damage and proteomic changes are observed at 5-8 ppm), those with chronic kidney disease (CKD), have impaired fluoride clearance, subsequent elevated plasma fluoride levels, which creates a vicious self-perpetuating cycle of fluoride-induced aggravation of their decline in kidney function. The researchers summarized their main finding as follows: The main conclusion of our study is that CKD is aggravated even by low concentrations of fluoride, which in turn accelerates medial vascular calcification (MVC), thereby confirming and extending previous reports on fluorosis in CKD patients exposed to WHO-recommended fluoride concentrations in drinking water (Greenberg et al., 1974; Lyaruu et al., 2008). Their final comments are to call for a reappraisal of the risks/benefits associated with fluoridation of municipal drinking water: In summary, the effects of fluoride on renal function and vascular health are more complicated than expected. Our findings could help to decide whether the use of fluoride to improve the dental health of the population through indiscriminate practices, such as adding it to municipal drinking water, should be reconsidered and should be replaced by a fluoridation policy based on the health status of individuals. It should be noted that fluorides association with soft tissue calcification also extends to brain structures, including the pineal gland, which we documented in a previous article: Fluoride: Calcifier of the Soul, and that its neurotoxicity especially as evidenced by lowered I.Q. is well documented.

2	Former Muslim Brotherhood Member Goes On Air: Barack Hussein Obama Is A Muslim Terrorist In the eight years that Barack Obama has been in the White House, he has left many questions about his past unanswered. He has plenty of opportunities to prove that he is truly a Christian American male born in Hawaii as he claims, but he has failed to do so each time. This has led many Americans to question his intentions and where his loyalties truly lie. This newly surfaced interview isnt looking good for him. Watch the video below, as former Muslims Brotherhood member Walid Shoebat explains that Barack Obama and his brother are members of the organization, and may even be terrorists. 
2	Congress Announces That They Are Going To Start Auditing Welfare Recipients It appears that Congress is finally taking action and is preparing to investigate President Obamas Department of Housing and Urban Development. According to reports from The Daily Caller, the investigation is designed to audit HUDs financial statements. The precaution comes after the departments inspector general claimed that their own audit revealed that records may be inaccurate or potentially corrupt. This audit report contains nine material weaknesses, eight significant deficiencies in internal controls and six instances of noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations, the inspector general wrote in his audit. Those are a lot of red flags, especially for an agency that receives $49 billion in annual funding. While Congress should force the agency to mop up this new accounting mess in the short term, in the medium term, Congress should devolve and privatize activities such as housing finance, Chris Edwards, the CATO Institute tax polices director told reporters. Given HUDs history of waste and outright corruption, this is an agency that Congress and taxpayers need to keep a particularly close eye on, he continued. And it is one reason why the new revelations of the agencys mismanagement are so troubling. Fortunately, Congress is not backing down. They intend to conduct an audit of their own and more closely watch financial transactions coming from the department. These are multi-year issues involving HUD and the committee will continue its oversight responsibilities, Sen. Richard Selby of the Senate Appropriations Committee said in a statement. What do you think? Is Congress making the right move, or should they be doing more? 
2	Revealing Pictures Of Malia Obama Leaked [SEE PHOTOS] This week on social media, yet another controversial of First Daughter Malia Obama has popped up on Instagram. This time, the seventeen year old is shown wearing a shirt with the name of a rap group on it. The picture was posted to Instagram by Pro Era, which is described as a Brooklyn-based indie hip-hop collective. Although the White House has not commented on the photograph, we can imagine that the Obamas are less than pleased about the public and suggestive photograph. We already know that Michelle has bent over backwards to keep her daughters out of the media. What do you think of the photograph? 
1	Suddenly struck by inspiration as he listened to the legendary German composers seminal masterpiece, local man Ben Hastings reported Monday that hearing Ludwig van Beethovens Ninth Symphony had given him the idea to become a genius of some sort. A few minutes into listening to that thing and it just hit me: I should become a peerless virtuoso whose transcendent contributions to my field leave an indelible mark on history, said the 34-year-old, who after taking in the fourth movement of what is considered by many to be the greatest work in the Western classical music canon reportedly came to the conclusion that he too should make some kind of timeless work of art or scientific breakthrough that will be revered and studied for generations. Beethovens symphony really opened me up to the idea of being a world-renowned genius. I think that creating something so visionary that it becomes an inextricable part of human culture while placing me in the pantheon of cultural luminaries from Leonardo da Vinci to Steve Jobs could definitely be my thing, but pioneering a new, groundbreaking school of thought would be pretty awesome, too. Maybe I could revolutionize sculpture or physics or something. After learning from his Wikipedia page that Beethoven started losing his hearing at age 28, Hastings reportedly came up with a plan to also overcome something. 
2	Angry Liberals Tried To Take Down Ivanka, So She Does THIS Instead Throughout her fathers campaign, Ivanka Trump has proven herself to be a very strong force. She is elegant and assertive; passionate and determined. Of course, that is not stopping liberals from making her the target of their feminist agenda. According to reports, thousands of feminists have been boycotting Ivanka Trumps clothing brand because they dont like her fathers politics. For some time, Ivanka was able to successfully toe the line. Feminists were accepting of the fact that she supported her fatherclaiming that she could not be objective around him. That quickly changed when audio leaked from 2005, showing Trump making lewd comments about women. Now, these women are insisting that Ivanka turn her back on her own father. They are refusing to buy her products and even boycotting the stores her clothes are sold in. In a recent interview, Ivanka was asked to address this movement against her. The beauty of America is people can do what they like, 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? Will Ivanka Trump be one of the classiest first daughters weve ever seen? 
2	Hillary In Shock After Judge Takes Epic Stand Against Her, She IS A Felon On Fox News last weekend, Judge Jeanine Pirro talked with Judge Napolitano on the topic of Hillary Clinton. They mainly discussed the email scandal that she has been wrapped up in for ages. The FBI has just released an official statement saying that they are pursuing and investigation against her. This is the first time they have made a definitive statement. At least were getting somewhere with it. Judge Jeanine Pirro asked Judge Napolitano why Americans even care about the FBI investigation. Napolitano made himself very clear. Because she wants to be the president of the United States, and shes a felon and she should be indicted for it, he said. We couldnt agree more. She is guilty and needs to be sentenced to prison. We cant have a president that is so unreliable. Do you think Hillary is guilty? 
3	Has Filming Cops Helped Citizens With Police Brutality Claims?By Amanda Warren Over half of U.S. citizens now own or will own a smartphone by the end of this year. As it happens, citizen filming is also on the rise and might be having some effecton police brutality claims leveled at the NYPD. Matt Agorist of Free Thought Project writes: New YorksCivilian Complaint Review Board is an independent agency that is empowered to receive, investigate, mediate, hear, make findings, and recommend action on complaints against New York City police officers. According to the CCRB, nearly half (45%) of all claims of brutality and excessive force of NYPD cops have been substantiated by video in the first six months of 2015. This increase is an 11% jump from 2014 alone. According to the agency, surveillance and cellphone videos have also helped substantiate 21% of the overall complaints filed with the CCRB so far this year the highest rate since the agencys creation in 1993. Agorist also points out some caveats that this writer has noted too. For instance, the police chokehold death of Eric Garner was filmed for the world to see yet a grand jury failed to get a conviction to hold the officer responsible. The officer now receives tax paid round-the-clock protection. Additionally, when the video is up for interpretation, signs of emotional upset on the side of the citizen can be used as an excuse to dismiss the entire complaint without addressing the violation of the officer. We never recommend losing tempers or cursing law enforcement however, this should not be a reason to excuse harm. This writer has noted myriad incidents of police intimidation while a citizen respectfully films as well, as removal and destruction of expensive iPhones that are never anticipated to be replaced. There is a growing attitude that simply by filming, a citizen is considered to be an obstruction of justice. Furthermore, authority figures like the Boston police commissioner are calling for laws to criminalize the act of filming law enforcement. Lastly, notice the title question has filming cops helped citizens with police brutality claims? For claims against NYPD, sure, there is an uptick of proven claims thanks to citizen filming. But also notice that it speaks nothing of the reduction of the brutality events themselves. In order to keep from becoming independent filmmakers of our own destruction, the brutality itself needs to be adamantly addressed. Perhaps the same way it was in the fatal shooting of John Geer. By embracing peer and media support with sheer persistence toward accountability until such behavior in departments can be altered. While its great that people are better able to prove claims of brutality the real goalis to reach a point where American citizens are free from brutality and make it to trial if arrested for a crime. We should all want more thanmere survival of unwarranted abuse and the restoration of our good names if wrongly accused of a crime. Amanda Warren writes for selfnews Post see her recent articles HERE NYPD just attacked a tennis star and slammed him face down into the ground. 
2	Trump Gets Banned From Britain After Doing THIS Earlier this week, Donald Trump called for a ban of Muslim immigration from the United States. Since then, the UK has banned together against Trump. They have gathered over 300,000 signatures as of Wednesday to ban Trump from entering the UK. This is only after a day of the petition being live. After 10,000 signatures, the UK must give an answer. After 100,000, they must have a debate on the issue. They will debate the petition of January 5th. The UK has taken this too far. Maybe they should redirect their hate against ISIS, where it belongs. Do you think the UK has taken things too far? 
2	Obama Family Caught Using $44 Million Of Your Tax Payer Dollars On THIS, You Will Be FURIOUS During his time in the White House, President Obama has had no qualms about taking full advantage of the perks of being our leader. Hes often been criticized for using his authority to fuel his lavish lifestylefrom days on the golf course to travel around the world courtesy of Air Force One and American taxpayers. Until recently, nobody was quite sure exactly what had been spent on the Presidents travel. Now, its been revealed that Obama has spent $44,351,777.10 since being in the White House. Of course, many of these dollars were spent on trips that actually had a diplomatic intention, but many more were spent on lavish vacations to Marthas Vineyard, Key Largo, and Hawaii. In March of last year, Obama had officially spent more time traveling than any other president in history. And Air Force One costs $180,000 an hour to fly within the countryand that is multiplied when international travel is involved. What do you think? Are you sick of bearing the burden of Obamas spending habits? Does he need to be kicked out of the White House before he drains America dry? 
2	New Jersey Cancels $118 Million In Social Welfare Computer System According to recent reports, the New Jersey Department of Human Service has decided to pull the plug on their $118.3 million Consolidated Assistance Support System (CASS). CASS was designed to modernize the management of the states social welfare programs, but over the six-year period the program run, it was clear that it needed some serious work. While a DHS spokesperson confirmed that an analysis is in progress to determine next steps, they would not explain why the CASS contract was terminated. HP, the CASS project prime contractor was also quiet on the subject. HP did point to the fact that New Jerseys DHS was at fault, however, claiming that out of respect, HP does not comment on customer relationships. Still, HP is not blame free. An audit report found the companys technical performance to be poor due in large part to the companys absentee management. In the eight phase project, HP changed project managers three times since 2010. DHS is believed to have ignored huge red flags signaling that the project was in trouble, which included failing to bring concerns over the contract to the Department of Treasury, which is responsible for ensuring that problems with contracts are resolved. What do you think? Are you happy that this project is being pulled?

1	The first day of the NFL's endorsement combine ended Friday with draftees performing for marketing scouts in workouts that included shoe-posing, pizza-enjoying, and automotive co-masculinity. 'Unfortunately, under the current rules, college athletes aren't allowed to perform endorsements, so this is really our first chance to see them pretending to use and like these products,' said Gatorade scout Grant Bonner, carefully studying running back prospect Trent Richardson as he poured a beverage on his face. 'We need to see if these guys have what it takes to be able to support a brand for years to come or are just flash-in-the-pan draft busts who can't even fake a conversation with an animated gecko.' Bonner added that Gatorade will probably still sign Andrew Luck despite the highly touted rookie pitchman repeatedly calling the company's product a 'flavory drink.' 
2	Jewelry Company Publicly Attacks Ivanka About Her Dad... Quickly You Dont Mess With A Trump Recently, Ivanka Trump made a jewelry purchase. She had no idea her payment was going to be used to benefit Democratic advocacy groupsand the Hillary Clinton campaign. Thats exactly what Lady Gray decided to do when the daughter of Donald Trump purchased a new ear cuff from the Indie jewelry company. When the package arrived, bundled with her purchase was a hand-written note from the companys co-founders, Jill Martinelli and Sabine Le Guyader. The note read as follows: Dear Ivanka, The company later posted a picture of the note on its Instagram page, garnering thousands of likes and more than 3,000 comments. When interviewed, a spokeswoman for the company claimed they were flattered by Trumps order but felt compelled to donate money to organizations that align with their views. While we were flattered to receive an order from Ivanka Trump, our social and political views couldnt be further from those of the Trump campaign, the spokeswoman said. When we received her order, we instantly felt compelled to take the money and donate it to a few organizations that were more aligned with our ideals Everytown for Gun Safety, The American Immigration Council, and The Hillary Clinton Campaign. Of course, not all of the jewelry brands customers were happy with their decision. Some called the treatment of a paying customer tacky and alienating to half of their customer base. What do you think of their actions? 
2	Sherriff Joe And Donald Trump Team Up To Take On Illegal Immigrants PERSONALLY In a recent interview, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio claimed that he wants to go to Mexico to straighten out the illegal immigration and drug smuggling problem. He intends to work with Mexican officials and station American troops on the other side of the border. I want to go to Mexico City or somewhere in Mexico to talk to the officials, he told reporters. Now if Donald Trump wants to go with me, he can go with me. Because we both will talk about the economy, which is very critical. If I was with him, you know what Id say? he continued. Hey Ill build two Trump towers in Mexico. Start hiring people there to get jobs so they dont have to hop the fence and come into the United States. So I look at this economic problem, too. Not just a law enforcement, political problem. The sheriff also offered the suggestion that America begin to work with Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto to send our military across the border to work with their military and their federal police together and stop the drugs and stop the illegal immigration before it reaches the border. What do you think of Arpaios suggestions? Would you like to see him and Trump cross the border and get down to business? 
1	TORTUGA BAY, GALAPAGOSSaying the aging reptile is really embarrassing himself, leading herpetologists expressed embarrassment Monday on behalf of Old Bill, a local giant tortoise who reportedly makes tremendous efforts to appear several decades younger than his actual 120 years. Yeah, hes not fooling anyone at this point, said Dr. Ann Schoenherr of the Charles Darwin Research Station, claiming Bill has had his vertebral scutes brightened and often stretches his neck out in a futile attempt to make it look slightly less wrinkled. The fungal growth on his carapace is a dead giveaway. Its time for him to be honest with himself, accept his faded shell markings, and try to age with a little bit of dignity. Schoenherrs colleagues concurred, saying the tortoise should just relax and make the most of the 30 or 40 years he has left.

1	According to a hastily written police report, anywhere from several to half a dozen people were killed at some point Monday in what officers described as a tragic shooting or stabbing of some kind. 'It was hard to get an exact body count, because the ambulances were obstructing our view, and we were in kind of a hurry to make our dinner reservation,' wrote Sgt. Ken Morris, who in his description of the scene stated that, from where he was standing, a couple of victims appeared to have been killed execution style. 'But if I had to guess, my gut tells me maybe about five people were shot.' At press time, details from the one person who witnessed the crime were unavailable, as Morris gave up on the interview when his pen ran out of ink. 
1	AR-RAQQAH, SYRIAFrustrating the Islamic extremist groups efforts to bolster its ranks and expand its influence overseas, representatives for ISIS told reporters Wednesday that they have so far encountered considerable difficulty in finding American recruits who are physically fit enough for jihad. Weve been in communication with a number of U.S. citizens who are eager to join in our holy crusade, but unfortunately, not one of them is in decent enough shape to effectively wage war against the West, said ISIS operative Bakir Hamdani, pointing to a general lack of athleticism among the hundreds of potential American recruits, as well as respiratory ailments and dependencies on a variety of diabetes, blood pressure, and allergy medications that preclude these would-be jihadists from assisting in the establishment of a worldwide Sunni caliphate. Even though these people are enthusiastic about righteous martyrdom, I honestly dont see most of them even fitting into a suicide vest, let alone lugging a 40-pound rocket launcher through the desert. The thing is, we cant inflict terror into the hearts of the masses if our fighters are always doubled over red-faced and winded. Hamdani added that ISIS best course of action was to allow these overweight, sedentary American operatives to continue burdening the U.S. health care system in hopes of eventually bankrupting the nation. 
2	Ted Nugent May Face Jail Time For Absolutely Brilliant Attack On Obama And Hillary Ted Nugent unleashed a brutal attack on Obama and Hillary after watching the Benghazi film, 13 Hours. Basically, Nugent suggested that they should be tried for treason and hung for what happened to the four Americans in Benghazi. Nugent launched his attack via Facebook. This is what the post said: Our unholy rotten soulless criminal America destroying government killed 4 Americans in Benghazi, Nugent started. Period! What sort of chimpass punk would deny security, turn down 61 requests for security, then tell US forces to STAND DOWN when they were ready to kickass on the allapukes save American lives! Obama Clinton, thats who. They should be tried for treason hung. Our entire fkdup gvt must be cleansed asap. Some have pointed out that what Nugent did can technically be considered a federal crime (threatening the president). Some are calling for the FBI to take action on him. However, it is unlikely anything will come of it. Nugent defended his post claiming he was using his First Amendment Right. Although rather intense, we agree with the idea behind Nugents rage. Do you think Obama and Hillary are guilty? 
2	Teacher And Fellow Students Target 11 Year Old Boy For Supporting Trump According to recent reports, an 11-year-old boy named Matthew from Raleigh, North Carolina was publicly reprimanded after expressing his support for GOP front-runner Donald Trump during a class assignment. Matthew called conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh last week to talk about the incident, which occurred at his liberal private school. One of his recent assignments was to answer the question: Beside Martin Luther King, who are some visionaries who are in the world? Matthews classmates wrote answers like Rosa Parks and Abraham Lincoln. Matthew wrote Donald Trumps name. The very next day, his teacher pulled him aside and told him to erase the comment. What good has he done for the world? his teacher commented. Matthew answered that Trump has created his businesses, and hes built magnificent buildings in many countries in the world, and hes actually running for president while hes actually stating his ideas. The boy told Limbaugh that he got mad after his teacher still insisted that he erase the comment. The incident also made him the target of bullying, with many students chanting: Donald Trump sucks and you do too. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous? 
1	Sources at The New Yorker said a new article by investigative journalist Seymour Hersh 'blows the lid completely off' a subject matter far too soul-crushing for the human brain to process. Hersh, renowned for breaking stories on events such as the My Lai Massacre and Abu Ghraib, is said to have plumbed every last, depressing detail of the newly uncovered topic, which likely involves an inconceivable combination of violence, drunken abuses of power, wanton disregard for the sanctity of human life, and a chain of deceit and corruption leading all the way to the top. According to a recent poll, none of The New Yorker's nearly 1 million subscribers had summoned the strength to crack the story's first paragraph, instead turning to the new Roz Chast cartoon on the next page. 
3	Merck Teams With Gates Foundation to Further Worldwide DepopulationSusanne Posel, Contributor Warren Buffet, friend and fellow Elitist, has agreed to hand overmost of his wealth to charity; contributed stock valued at $1.52 billion in his annual gift to the BMGF. Buffet asserted in a YouTube video in 2011: I urge people to unbutton their wallet, pull out a check, reach into their purse, whatever it takes. You will find that when you give a dollar and something of yourself, a lot more than a dollar comes out the other end. By 2020, Melinda Gates hopes to have extended the use of forced sterilization through manipulation of foreign governments to further the scheme of preventing 80 million of unwanted pregnancies in places like Africa, India and Southeast Asia. Victoria Jennings, a director of Georgetown Universitys Institute for Reproductive Health, said: To have someone like her on the world stage saying come on, it does serve as a tremendous lever to ratchet up the concern. Pharmaceutical giant Merck announced in a formal statement that they will donate $25 million over an 8-year period as a Merck for Mothers campaign in line with the BMGF depopulation agenda. By claiming that this initiative is to reduce maternal morality around the world and will advance efforts to help reach United Nations Millennium Development Goal 5, which calls for a 75 percent reduction in maternal mortality and universal access to reproductive health by 2015. The scheme for controlling the worlds population is the brainchild of Ban Ki-moon, the UN Secretary-Generals Global Strategy for Womens and Childrens Health (GSWCH): Every Woman, Every Child, and innovative public-private and civil society partnerships developed through the Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition. The Summit also aligns with the broader framework established by the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) almost 20 years ago. The ICPD officially contended that universal education, reduction of infant births, protection of maternal mortality as an excuse to sterilize millions of women, and purveying family planning as a cover for preventing the most densely populated areas from continuing to freely procreate were the most effective course of action to ensure the agenda of the global Elite. As of now, the ICPD Beyond 2014 offers a global consensus on the human populations as a policy to guide reproduction under the guidelines of social progress and environmental sustainability because human beings are at the center of development. The ICPDs plan of action admonishes the cooperation of governments to support BMGF family planning schemes in relation to protecting the environment from over-growth of human population. The GSWCH, working with the World Health Organization (WHO) is a global plan to bring vaccines, international interventions and financing to the UN for the purpose of: Susanne Posel is the Chief Editor of Occupy Corporatism.

1	The Environmental Protection Agency issued a bulletin Tuesday warning the bodies of American citizens, with their large concentrations of artificial, synthetic, and often toxic substances, have been reclassified as industrial waste. 'The average human body is now only 35 percent organic,' EPA chief Ralph Johnson said. 'Due to changes brought about by modern detergents, silicone implants, and processed cheese food product, it is no longer safe to allow human tissue to come into contact with our nation's topsoil.' Johnson said the EPA is seeking funding to construct a massive, federally managed human-body containment facility in the Mojave Desert to safely and viably store human remains. 
3	Merle Haggard Dies at 79, Outspoken Opponent of War and Chemtrails in Later YearsBy Brandon Turbeville Country music has suffered one of the greatest losses it will ever experience, said Charlie Daniels on Twitter. Rest in peace Merle Haggard. Haggard was well known for country gems like I think Ill Just Stay Here and Drink, Mama Tried, Sing Me Back Home, The Bottle Let Me Down, If We Make It Through December and Silver Wings. But he was also known for songs like Okie from Muskogee, a possibly satirical or possibly real (Haggard would never say which one) commentary on the cultural divide in the 1960s. Haggard was also known for The Fightin Side of Me an uber-patriotic song that Haggard himself claimed probably set my career back 40 years. While the latter song seemed to glorify some of the worst elements in American society at the time, in his later years, Haggard came to speak out against imperialist warfare. Haggard also stood up for American farmers by taking part in Willie Nelsons Farm Aid. What has gone surprisingly under-reported, however, is Haggards outspoken criticism of the practice of geoengineering also known as chemtrails. In his song What I Hate Haggard wrote: What I hate is looking up and seeing/Chemtrails in a clear blue sky today. Characteristically, Haggard was unafraid to bring up the chemtrail issue in an interview with NPR. But the interviewer did not press him and simply skimmed over the rest of the issue. Haggard died on his 79th birthday, a prediction he made a week prior to his death of complications from pneumonia.

About a month ago there was a chemtrail overhead. The next evening I had an allergic reaction just like hay fever. I took 2 benedryls and went too bed Seeing just a chemtrail thats almost a good day! MUCH better Search Term(s) for research: Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) Climate Engineering. Solar Radiation Management (SRM) chemtrails is an overused, non-science term and will not get much traction or credibility in todays world; its far too entangled with the weaponized phrase conspiracy theorist which is designed to discredit and discourage those who search for truths that are at odds with Established Order of the Ruling Elite . Merle Haggard you were loved and the world will miss you -RIP. Willie will keep on singing for farm aid the taking of farms by the banks to out the Mom and Pop farmer to be replaced with corporations like Monsanto and gmo crops and dusting with SAI (thanks for the new term SuperLuminal Man).

1	A report from the U.S. Department of Transportation confirmed Thursday that at any one time, the average American city bus is occupied by at least four fully erect penises. 'This persistent level of physical arousal remains a mystery, as we have found no link between these erections and either the attractiveness of fellow passengers or the intensity of vehicle vibrations,' the report read in part, also noting that when one of the four engorged penises goes flaccid, another immediately hardens, as if to take its place. 'Four is just a minimum, of course. During rush-hour traffic, there may be as many as 21 stiffened members on a single bus, while off-peak erection counts often hover around five or even six.' The report's statistics do not include bus drivers, who are believed to remain constantly erect throughout their shifts.

1	In a torrent of emotion that both blanked out Kenneth Weiss' memory and skewed his judgment, the longtime Steelers fan declared Super Bowl XLIII, which most agree was in fact a very good game, to be the best Super Bowl ever. 'I defy you to name a game with as much excitement,' said Weiss, forgetting the seven lead changes in the 49ers' gritty Super Bowl XXIII victory, the Steelers' brilliant defensive denial of multiple comebacks in Super Bowl XIII, and the underdog Giants' victory over the arrogant undefeated Patriots last year. 'I can't think of one that even came close. Best ever. Period. There can be no argument.' Cooler-headed sources close to Weiss said that his choice is at least defensible, unlike those who say the greatest-ever Super Bowl was won by that jackass Joe Namath, the admittedly undefeated but unspectacular '72 Dolphins, or the fucking, fucking, fucking Cowboys. 
2	AntiAccording to reports, a group of First Amendment supporters known as Bikers for Trump made plans to show up at the GOP front-runners rally in Wisconsin this week. The group, who stand behind Donald Trump, were ready to come to his defense. Of course, that didnt go over too well with liberals. Patriotic Bikers, from all across the United States are planning to show up at ALL future TRUMP rallies to make sure that any paid agitator protesters dont take away Mr. Trumps right to speak, the group announced on Facebook. Or interfere with the rights of Trump supporters to safely attend. WE SHALL NOT BE SILENCED! The event they referenced was supposed to take place at 1 p.m. in Janesville. Mic.com reported that anti-Trump protesters had already started descending on the city by Tuesday. Ironically, they were also chanting we will not be silenced! We dont want somebody coming here whos going to further inflame and incite racism, violence, an anti-Trump protester named Ali Brooks told interviewers. 
1	Captivated by her adorability and off-the-charts hipness, the U.S. populace sheepishly admitted a deep infatuation with 22-year-old Danielle Metzler, that amazing girl with the multi-colored hair who works at Slipped Discs in Athens. Metzler behind the Slipped Discs counter. 'God, she is so fucking unbelievably cute,' Sam Kiefer of Euclid, OH, said Monday. 'The last time she was wearing these super-tight silver pants and this rhinestone-studded New York Dolls half-shirt, and I was just like, 'Wow.'' Metzler was first spotted at Slipped Discs, an independently owned store stocked with a wide selection of indie rock, hip-hop, electronica, and otherwise hard-to-find music, in September 1999. Ever since, the nation has had a major crush on the girl. '[Metzler] works at the coolest record store in Athens, and she's totally up on all the latest stuff,' said Ryan Griggs, 48, a television repairman from Salem, OR. 'You have no idea how many people go in there every day and buy some obscure Go-Betweens B-sides collection or the latest Stephin Merritt side project just to try to impress her.' Griggs recently purchased Toby Dammit's vinyl-only Gopher Edits EPa highly successful move which prompted Metzler to ask about the record. 'I couldn't believe it,' Griggs said. 'For 45 glorious seconds, it was just me and her talking about bands like Tipsy and Jazzanova.' Residents of the Florida panhandle admitted that their own attempts to impress Metzler were less successful. 'I heard her talking to someone about these great new Boredoms remixes, so I bought the one by U.N.K.L.E.,' Pensacola's Andy Nichols said. 'I don't even own a single original Boredoms album, but I now have an import remix I paid $30 for.' Continued Nichols: 'When she was ringing up the U.N.K.L.E. thing, I said, 'These are supposed to be really good.' So she says, 'Yeah, but if you're not going to get them all, the DJ Krush is really the one to go with.' I was like, oh, great. But then she gave me this really big smile, and it was all worth it.' Upon discovering they were not the only ones with a long-standing crush on Metzler, residents of the Midwest came forward with their own tales of longing for the girl, sharing everything from the time she wore that really tight Le Tigre T-shirt to the time she danced to Cheap Trick's 'Southern Girls' as it played on the store's stereo. 'Once, she was reaching up to grab a CD for a customer, and I noticed maybe half an inch of leopard-print underwear peeking out of the back of her hip-huggers,' said Carl Mills, a Beloit, WI, truck driver. 'That was a year ago, and I still remember it.' Josh Starkes of Boise, ID, is among the few Americans who know the girl's name. 'I was hanging around the store one afternoon, and I heard one of her coworkers say, 'Hey, Dani, could you grab me a few of the new Dirty Three/Low from the back?'' Starkes recalled. 'Turns out, her name is Danielle, but she goes by 'Dani,' and sometimes even 'Dan.' On the employee-suggestion rack, it says, 'Dan's Pick Of The Week.' I mean, how cool is that?' According to millions of Americans, unlike many of the other clerks at Slipped Discs, Metzler never asks if you need help finding anything. Even if you make it obvious that you are struggling to find a particular record, she will remain by the front counter, talking and laughing with a select crowd of visitors. 'I was in there, and I recognized this one guy talking to her as the lead singer from [Athens band] Corky Thatcher,' said Dave Douglas of Riverside, CA. 'I can never figure out if all these people hanging out are her actual friends or just people she's deemed cool enough to talk to her. And, if the latter is the case, how do I become one of those people? Oh, who am I kidding? I don't stand a chance.' Despite such insecurities, the people of Southern California say the mixture of desire and insecurity associated with a trip to Slipped Discs is 'exhilarating.' 'I wanted to get the first Modern Lovers album, but I didn't want her to know I didn't already own it,' said Jody Osbourne of San Diego. 'To cover up, I told her some big, long story about how my friend is such a jerk because he borrowed it a long time ago and never gave it back. When I was done with this four-minute spiel, she just said, 'I hate Jonathan Richman.' I wanted to curl up in a ball and die.' While it's unknown whether Metzler has a boyfriend, the American people have always assumed she does. 'Whenever I see her out at a show, she's always surrounded by this pack of slim-hipped, good-looking hipster guys,' said Jesse Avery of Roseville, MI. 'She's never hanging on any one in particular, but one of them has got to be her boyfriend.' The nation has no plans to try to advance its relationship with Metzler beyond that of customer and clerk, saying it prefers to worship her from afar. 'She's way out of my league, and even if I could get her to like mewhich I couldn'tit would only cause problems,' said Earl Shaw, 36, a Gulfport, MS, actuary. 'When a girl has so many guys fawning over her, she's bound to want her way with everything.' Continued Shaw: 'That is, unless she was sick of all the rock 'n' roll assholes she dates and was ready for someone who doesn't fit into that mold. Maybe she is. Maybe she's looking for someone a little smarter than those guyssomeone like me.' Shaw added that maybe he could even learn to play bass guitar. Informed of the nation's crush, Metzler shrugged her shoulders. 'That's cool,' she said, 'but lately I've been more into British guys.' She then returned to sorting CDs. 
1	LOS ANGELES'Wally,' the wacky-neighbor character on the ABC sitcom Mixing It Up, is identifiable as offbeat and eccentric by his red Converse 'Chuck Taylor' high tops, it was reported Monday. 'Wally is what you might call 'out there,'' producer David Dahl said. 'He's the type of guy who marches to the beat of a different drummer. If you have any doubt, please direct your attention to his footwear.' Dahl said Wally was originally supposed to wear one red high top and one blue one, but 'we decided that would be going too far.' 
2	Whoopi Goldberg Could Be Fired From The View For the past year, weve been begging for The View host Whoopi Goldberg to get off the air. Now, rumor has it that ABC has finally seen the light, and she may be the next to be fired. According to reports from ET Online, Goldberg has been even more antagonistic on set than usual. Sources close to her believe that she is intentionally trying to get the network to release her from her $5 million a year contract. Shes constantly at war with management, one source told ET. Its so bad that some execs think shes daring them to fire her so she can go off and do other things, particularly after her slave outburst. She knows if they did fire her, theyd have to pay out her contract, and shed be paid $5 million for doing nothing. Maybe its just us, but wed rather the network pay her millions for doing nothing than rewarding her for her ignorance. Whoopi loves the money, but she doesnt want to work so hard anymore, the source continued. She doesnt come in prepared, she doesnt really engage with other panelists and guests. She gives some one-liners and moves on. As it stands, Whoopi is in the final year of her contract. Of course, ABC is denying any friction with the controversial host. We hope Whoopi is here for a long time to come, one ABC spokesperson said in a statement. She is a vital part of The View who delivers everyday as moderator and always comes to play. What do you think? Are you ready to wish Whoopi good riddance? 
1	Though ESPN intended to broadcast Drew Bledsoe's entire retirement speech last Wednesday, the sports network cut away from the veteran quarterback's press conference in order to air commercials for electronics retail giant Circuit City, Sprint, and the new Honda Accord. 'I have learned a lot in my 14 years in this great league, but the one thing that always stuck with me, no matter how difficult it got out there, was ' said Bledsoe before the network aired the two-minute block of advertisements, after which they cut back to Bledsoe's concluding statement. ' Only wish I could have played a lot better. Thanks.' ESPN then interrupted the proceeding question-and-answer session with more commercials from Chrysler, Zip-Car, and, for viewers in the Pittsburgh area, a local commercial for attorney Edgar Snyder. 
2	Trump Makes Terrifying Announcement About Inauguration... This Is It Liberals were shocked when Hillary Clinton lost the electoral vote by a landslide and theyve been grappling to get her back in the game ever since. Now that Donald Trump is officially scheduled to be sworn in as our next president on January 20, they are doing everything they can to make it as difficult as possible for him. The New York Times recently reported that three dozen agencies responsible for security at the event are preparing for large groups of protesters flooding the capital, along with the millions of supporters who will be there to honor the president-elect. Security officials are reportedly worried about confrontations between supporters and protesters, given how quickly Trump events have escalated in the past. To paraphrase Tolstoy: Each inauguration is risk, but each is risk in its own way, said Michael Chertoff, George W. Bushs former secretary of homeland security. I cant think of an inauguration that presented more security challenges than this one. There is no doubt that our nation is more divided over the Trump presidency than weve seen in a long time. Hostility is still running high in liberals who feel the election was somehow stolen from them. Everybody knows how contentious the campaign was, Geldart, the District of Columbia homeland security director noted. Honestly, what really keeps me up at night around this is the ability for us to just allow folks to come in, express their views and leave safely. What do you think? Is it time for liberals to show some respect for our next leader? 
1	The mounting opposition to New York City Mayor Michael Bloombergs proposal to prohibit the sale of large-size soft drinks served as sad and sobering proof that Americans are still willing to fight for the causes they believe in, sources confirmed Wednesday. While many argue that people in this country lack the passion and general informedness to meaningfully participate in matters of public policy, the fierce outcry against the soda ban provides depressing evidence that this is not entirely true, said New York University sociologist Dr. Marvin Schafer, pointing to the recent flux of pathetic petitions, public demonstrations, and fervent calls to the mayors office, all of which have been aimed at maintaining unimpeded access to soda and other sweetened beverages larger than 16 ounces. This embarrassingly powerful demonstration of democracy shows that, when their backs are against the wall, Americans are unfortunately still very willing to band together and stand up for what they believe in most. Specifically, soda. At press time, an online petition demanding the White House make clear its position on the use of combat drone strikes against American citizens had garnered 14 signatures.

I'd rather have my ears bleed uncontrollably than listen to him drone on about the benefits of taekwondo again.' --Tonya R., Orlando, FL 'This ruling needs to extend to more people, including that Debra who lives next door.' --William A., St. Paul, MN 'This could set a dangerous precedent. This might allow the Supreme Court to also take away the freedom of speech from breathy talkers and perpetual interrupters.' --Janice, Long Beach, CA 'This is totally unconstitutional. Everyone has a right to say what they want to say. For instance, have I told you about how I had took my high school football team to the championships playing on a broken leg?' --Ellen S., Greenwood, WI 
2	Thug Turns American Flag Upside Down So This Vet Does Something UNTHINKABLE This group of protesters had no idea what they had coming when they decided to yield an American flag upside down as a statement against military torture. In this new video, which is going viral on the internet, a veteran who served in Iraq approaches the group and politely asks them to turn the flag right side up. He even confirms that he has no problem with them exercising their freedom of speech. However, when they refuse his request he stands up to the blatant disrespect of the American symbol. Do you know how many people have died for that flag, motherf***er? the footage shows the veteran yelling. He then goes on to throw their camera into the street. The video ends when the veteran realizes hes not going to get through to the group and hed rather not waste his time. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
2	What Barack And Michelle Were Just Caught Doing Is Grounds For Impeachment According to recent reports, Judicial Watch attained Secret Service and Air Force archives this week that reveal the whopping expenses associated with President Obamas attendance at the Paris Climate Change Conference. The records reportedly reveal that Secret Service charges and flights added up to $2,976,296.20. As if that figure wasnt shocking enough, it does not even include expenses for Secret Service meals, meeting rooms, or cabinet members travel and catering. The conference took place November 30 to December 12 of last year, during which time Obamas Secret Service spent $706,065 on hotels alonestaying in places ranging from the Hilton Astor to the InterContinental Paris Le Grand. Expenses include $531,598 in vehicle rentals, and $652 for renting a copier. This adds to the long list of Obama travel expenses, which have reached $82 million. Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch, has long criticized Obama for wasteful and unnecessary presidential travel that abuses taxpayers, the military, and the U.S. Secret Service. What do you think of these new reports? Is this absolutely unacceptable? 
1	Explaining to reporters that hes been meaning to see it for years, lifelong Boise resident Dale Kirkbride acknowledged Friday that he has never visited the citys popular Morrison Knudsen Nature Center. I know, I knowI really should get out there, but I never seem to find the time, said Kirkbride, who confirmed numerous friends and coworkers have told him the butterfly gardens alone are worth the price of admission. Everyone loves the Morrison Knudsen. Its what people come to Boise to see. Meanwhile, Ive lived 10 minutes away from it my whole life and somehow never gotten around to it. Whats wrong with me? At press time, sources confirmed Kirkbride had at long last visited the nature center, where he looked around briefly, bought a hat in the gift shop, and then drove back home. 
1	The Alan Guttmacher Institute released a report Friday that showed a dramatic increase in teen sexual activity, a finding that surprised policy-makers, public-health professionals, and 17-year-old Tom Ellis. Tom Ellis, who was surprised by statistics showing that other teens are having sex (below). 'So, more teens are having sex, are they?' Ellis asked Monday. 'Well, I'm not sure where those guys got all their data, but it sure wasn't from me.' Ellis, a senior this fall at Sprague High School in Salem, learned of the trend while watching television at home Saturday, as he does most weekend nights. A 20/20 story titled 'The Teen Sex Epidemic' informed him that 82.6 percent of his peers aged 15 to 19 have engaged in some form of sexual contact with another person. 'Really?' Ellis asked. 'Eight out of 10 teens? There's an epidemic?' While excited by the findings on teen sexuality, Ellis has yet to observe the increase in his own life. 'I mean, it's summer, and I can't help but notice all the girls wearing sexy dresses and tank tops and stuff,' he said. 'But, does that mean I'm one millimeter closer to getting some tail? No, sir.' 'Doesn't matter that I've grown six inches this year, that I've been working out in my basement, or that I dress in Gap clothes, like everyone else,' Ellis continued. 'Girls like Kelly [Mehan] and Michelle [Lehrer] still totally ignore me. At this rate, I'll be lucky to French [kiss] a girl before college.' Sexual Activity Among Teens Although teen sexual activity is on the rise, the Guttmacher report indicated that the teen pregnancy rate has dropped to a 13-year low. 'More teens are engaging in sex, but a larger percentage of them are doing so responsibly,' said Dr. Jerry Kendall, a senior researcher for the Guttmacher Institute. 'There's an increased access to and acceptance of proper contraceptives, mainly the condom, even among the disenfranchised teen population. An additional factor is the marked casualization of oral sex, which is often substituted for full intercourse.' 'Really?!' Ellis asked. 'Blow jobs? Well, that national trend hasn't spread to Salem yet, because I'm about one blow job shy of joining that statistic. It would take a miracle to get a girl to go down on me.' Ellis did confirm that he would use a condom if he were to have sex. 'You have sex, you wear a condom,' said Ellis, who has practiced proper condom use alone in his bedroom. 'At least that's what everybody says. I certainly wouldn't know from experience because, clearly, I'm a freak. I'm one of the pathetic 18 percent who still haven't even seen, much less touched, a naked breast. Well, rest assured: When and if I ever get the chance to have sex, I will definitely know how to put on a condom.' Teens who, unlike Ellis, are engaging in sexual activity. Although Ellis has carefully documented his intense desire for a sexual encounter in his journal, that desire hasn't translated into sexual activity. Ellis insisted that this is not by choice. 'Hey, I'm not one of those weird abstinence kids,' Ellis said. 'There's nothing I would like better than to waste myself on the wrong girl. I just want to know: Where in the hell are all these millions of loose teenage girls? Because they certainly don't go to my school.' According to friend Doug Binder, Ellis' chances of joining the growing ranks of the sexually experienced are slim. 'Tom?' Binder asked. 'He's doomed to virginity, just like me. But, hey, that doesn't stop us from talking and thinking about sex all the freaking time. For all our yapping about what we'd do if we were ever alone with a girl, neither of us is anywhere near getting some action.' Although he admitted he was startled by the report, Ellis said he remains hopeful for the future. 'I've still got two years to get laid and join the majority,' Ellis said. 'I mean, I've heard guys talking about all the girls they've slept with, but I thought they were just making it up. Turns out, everyone really was having sex all that time. Well, thanks, 20/20. Now I know what a complete loser I am.' 
3	Syria Under Attack by Globalist Death Squad ExpertsBrandon Turbeville Thankfully, a sizable portion of the alternative media, along with outspoken Syrians like YouTube blogger Syrian Girl have played a major role in exposing the rebels for what they are foreign terrorists and criminal Syrian elements that are being backed by Anglo-American and pro-NATO governments and intelligence agencies. Many of these individuals are admittedly al-Qaeda, much like the Libyan rebels who, after taking power with the help of NATO, immediately began restricting freedoms and slaughtering black Libyans. Indeed, a sizable portion of these terrorists have actually traveled from Libya to Syria, with some working from across the borders of Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon. As author and historian, Webster Griffin Tarpley, has aptly stated before, it is now widely apparent that al-Qaeda is nothing more than the United States Arab legion. In addition, due the increasing level of brazenness with which the Anglo-American empires are engaging in their operations, the actual players involved in the destabilization efforts are also becoming more visible as well. One individual who is receiving uncharacteristic levels of press attention is Robert Ford, the U.S. ambassador to Syria. Of course, all of the reporting by the mainstream media is glowing and supportive, making it seem as if Ford were a bona fide peoples hero fighting for an oppressed population. Now, however, questions must arise over possible connections to destabilization agents and potential participation in these efforts by General Robert Mood, the Norwegian general which has recently been appointed head of the United Nations Supervision Mission in Syria (UNSMIS) as well as the ever-present David Petraeus in the background. First, however, some background might be necessary for those who are not familiar with the connections between the prominent officials like Ford and Negroponte and how they are relevant to the situation in Syria. It should be noted that Prof. Michel Chossudovsky of GlobalResearch.ca has provided an excellent historical presentation of the connections of Negroponte, Ford, and Petraeus in relation to death squads and destabilization in his article The Pentagons Salvador Option: The Deployment of Death Squads in Iraq and Syria. I encourage everyone to read this excellent piece for context and analysis as a companion to my own article. John Negroponte was the U.S. ambassador to Honduras from 1981 to 1985. In this role, he was instrumental in supporting and overseeing the Nicaraguan Contra killers who, although based in Honduras, engaged in horrific acts of terrorism inside Nicaragua. Ultimately, this operation claimed the lives of approximately 50,000 innocent civilians. This is the origin of the term Salvador Option when speaking of the formation of death squads for political purposes, an option that has become a hallmark of Negroponte and the system which he represents. Negroponte was also responsible for the formation of the Honduran death squads who engaged in a mission of terror against opponents of the US-backed Honduran regime as well as the Sandinistas and civilian populations in Nicaragua. As Peter Roff and James Chapin write in their article Face-off: Bushs Foreign Policy Warriors, In 2005, Negroponte was appointed as ambassador to Iraq. In this role, he again oversaw the formation of death squads who targeted both the civilian populations and the Iraqi insurgency. The goal here was to foment division within the insurgency and turn it into a fragmented front. A divided opposition is obviously much easier to defeat than a united one. This theory has been proven accurate time and time again. Indeed, in 2005, a story was leaked to Newsweek where the Pentagon confirmed that it was considering forming hit squads of Kurdish and Shia fighters to target leaders of the Iraqi insurgency in a strategic shift borrowed from the American struggle against left-wing guerrillas in Central America 20 years ago.[1] The Pentagon did more than consider this option. Not very long after this information was leaked, Iraq began to see the results of its implementation. As Dahr Jamail of Antiwar.com wrote in 2007, Of course, the fact that the death squad option was implemented so quickly after the release of the report suggests that the mercenaries were being organized and applied long before Newsweek was made aware of them. Nevertheless, serving in Iraq at the same time that the death squads were beginning to make their bloody mark on the cohesion of the insurgency, was Robert Ford who, at the time, had been appointed political counselor to the U.S. embassy in Baghdad. Ford remained in this post from 2004-2006 where he worked closely with Negroponte. He was also heavily involved in the organization of the death squads. Ford was instrumental in helping make contacts with these individuals as well as developing and maintaining relations with them for other purposes such as continued and future terror campaigns. In fact, Ford was once described by Negroponte as one of these very tireless people . . . who didnt mind putting on his flak jacket and helmet and going out of the Green Zone to meet contacts. In short, Ford acted as a foot soldier in death squad formation. Attempting to summarize the death squad plan, Michael Hirsh and John Barry of Newsweek wrote in 2005: Commenting further on the Newsweek article, the Times Online added, Nor is it clear who would take responsibility for such a programme the Pentagon or the Central Intelligence Agency. Such covert operations have traditionally been run by the CIA at arms length from the administration in power, giving US officials the ability to deny knowledge of it.[2] Although the focus of these articles revolve around the question of CIA/Pentagon death squads in Iraq, it is important to notice that, as far back as 2005, it was admitted that there were clear plans to create, fund, and operate death squads in Syria. Ford and Negroponte are not the only high-profile US officials in the trenches of death squad development however. General David Petraeus , now Director of the CIA, established and subsequently assumed command of the Multi-National Security Transition Command Iraq (MNSTC) under the auspices of training and equipping the Iraqi army, police, and security forces. Petraeus personal command of the MNSTC began in 2004, at virtually the same time Negroponte was appointed ambassador. In reality, MNSTC was not merely about training Iraqi forces, but about establishing death squads. Indeed, it was a true counterinsurgency strategy that was instrumental to the Iraqi Salvador Option employed by the Pentagon and, likely, the CIA. Although Petraeus is now Director of the CIA, his military connections are no doubt intact. Indeed, relationships of this nature do not change with the mere presentation of a new title on one operative or another. Likewise, Robert Fords 2009 appointment as ambassador to Syria is merely the insertion of yet another destabilization agent into the Syrian landscape. Fords current action in Syria serves the exact same purpose as his presence in Iraq only a few years previous. This time, however, it seems that Ford is taking on a more central role in the affair. Indeed, many Syrians, if not aware of the more sinister acts of Ford, are at least aware that he has been instrumental in fomenting violent rebellion and negative Western public opinion against the ruling government. This is why Fords convoy was attacked by pro-government Syrians as he rode through town meeting with his terrorist pets. Logically, by meeting with protestors one can read instigating terrorism. The mainstream media, however, reports Fords terror encouragement tour as a heroic act of solidarity with the people. Eventually, after a succession of terror tours the Assad regime finally slapped restrictions on Fords travel, requiring him not to leave the boundaries of Damascus. However, Ford openly disregarded those limitations and brazenly began traveling all over Syria, meeting with his terrorist brethren. Of course, one should not forget that Petraeus, as CIA Director and a direct connection and common denominator between U.S. military and NATO contacts, is also a major player in the Syrian Salvador Option which is now taking shape. The death squad strategy is largely useless without at least of one these institutions, a relatively easy accomplish since, at the top of both, the establishment merges to form the same shadow government. Nevertheless, there is one more major player in the Syrian destabilization that should be drawing some more attention for his potential role in the early development of the Syrian death squads. General Robert Mood, the Norwegian general who is now the head of the United Nations Supervision Mission In Syria (UNSMIS), is not without his own potential for connections to destabilization efforts in Syria. Ironically, Mood has extensive connections with NATO, the organization (by virtue of its member nations) which is responsible for the Syrian destabilization to begin with. So, as it stands, we now have NATO being sent in to Syria to observe and report on the actions of NATO (the death squads). One can already assume what observations will be made to the general public in the coming days (or weeks). It is worth noting that General Mood holds a Masters Degree in Military Studies from the U.S. Marine Corps. University as well as attending his own countries Norwegian Army Staff College and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Defense College located in Rome truly a citizen of the world. From 2008 to 2011, Mood was the Commander in Chief of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO), an organization whose stated purpose is to provide a military command structure for UN peacekeeping functions in the Middle East. Mood was also Operations Officer for the Norwegian Battalion of UNIFL (United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon) during the 1980s. However, interestingly enough, Mood, in his position as Commander in Chief of UNTSO, oversaw the various established groups of UN observers, some of which were (and still are) located in Syria. One of those groups OGG (Observer Group Golan) is split into two different substations with one of those stations headquartered in Damascus (OGG Damascus). Other outposts of UNTSO are based in Israel, Lebanon (which borders Syria), and Egypt. Moods position then, would put him squarely involved in Syria at the same time as Robert Ford and presumably, David Petraeus via his personally delegated presence. With that in mind, one must wonder what role Mood might have had in the formation of the death squads being developed at the time. Webster Tarpley alluded to this possibility in an interview conducted with PressTV when he said: The fact that the rebellion in Syria is actually a NATO/Anglo-American/Arab puppet state fostered destabilization effort is not debatable to anyone who has even a basic grasp of the events now transpiring in the region. Although it is taking much longer to do to Syria what these same forces accomplished in Libya, the game plan remains exactly the same. In fact, many of the players that took part in the dismantling the Gaddafi regime are now involved in the destruction of Assads government. The same al-Qaeda terrorists that emerged in Libya have now traveled to Syria for round two of imperial moves to establish puppet governments and reduce the living standards of an entire nation. The infamous Libyan rebel leader Belhaj is now reportedly conducting operations in Syria as well. Of course, all of these forces work with the direct aid of the Anglo-Americans and the de facto world army known as NATO. It has even been reported by Thierry Meyssan of the Voltaire Network that French agents acting as mercenaries/death squad participants were captured by the Syrian government early on in the rebellion. All the while, the mainstream Western media reported the events as peaceful protest and a grass-roots level organic Syrian uprising against an oppressive regime. In examining the behavior and writings of the world elite, it is abundantly clear that Syria exists as the last stepping stone before war is launched against Iran. It seems almost certain that the Assad regime must be replaced by a puppet government more favorable to the Anglo-American imperial powers or, at the very least, one that is incapable of resisting them. While Syria has lasted much longer than its counterparts Libya and Egypt, it is unlikely that it will be able to hold out much longer, particularly with the acceptance of the UN observer forces inside its borders and an ever-growing pro-war sentiment expressed by Western governments. If war is launched on Iran, whether by the Western powers or by Israel, World War Three is likely to follow. While the United States and hence the rest of NATO will undoubtedly follow the footsteps of the mad dog of the Middle East, Russia will likely take the opposing side. China and India are likely to follow Russia. A direct clash of these world powers has the potential to produce more destruction than the previous two world wars put together. Although not the architects of the war, it is important that the names of Negroponte, Ford, Petraeus, and Mood be remembered for posterity as the worker bees who facilitated it.

3	Deplorable: Trump Chooses Enemy of Liberty Jeff Sessions for Attorney GeneralBy Lily Dane Many liberty-minded people believed that a Trump presidency would mean less establishment shenanigans and more freedom for individuals. But so far, the people the President-elect has chosen to align himself with do not support that belief. Heres why Trumps selection of Sessions as AG is particularly concerning. Sessions hasserved as a senator from Alabama for two decades, and previously served as US Attorney for the Southern District of Georgia and Attorney General of Alabama. In 1986, he was denied a federal judgeship after former colleagues testified before a Senate committee that he was too racist for the job. That rejection came from a Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee. At that time, Sessions was one of only two judicial nominees whose selections were halted by the panel in nearly 50 years. One of the most controversial things Sessions has said wasabout the Ku Klux Klan. He said he thought they were okay, until he learned that they smoked marijuana. That comment was made years ago, butSessions is still a very vocal opponent of legalizing cannabis for both recreational and medicinal use. I guess hes an opponent of science, too, because to date there are over 22,000 published studies in the scientific literature that reference the medicinal benefits of cannabis. So far, scientific study of cannabis has identified more than 80 unique, biologically active cannabinoids.A recent meta-analysis of these compounds shows well over a dozen therapeutic properties attributable to cannabinoids, including neuroprotective, anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, and anti-diabetic properties. (source) Not only is Sessions apparently anti-science and anti-health freedom, he totally digs one of the most dangerous and hated government agencies: Im a big fan of the DEA, he said during a hearing with the Senate Judiciary Committee. At that hearing, Sessions saidof marijuana and I am not making this up Lady Gaga says shes addicted to it and it isnotharmless. Right, because Lady Gagas opinion is far more credible than, oh, decades of scientific research. In April of this year, the Senate held a drug hearing. Sessions attended, and said a few moreridiculous things: We need grown-ups in charge in Washington to say marijuana is not the kind of thing that ought to be legalized, it ought not to be minimized, that its in fact a very real danger. Right, because humans havent been using cannabis for, oh decades without government permission. He spoke of the needto fosterknowledge that this drug is dangerous, you cannot play with it, it is not funny, its not something to laugh about and to send that message with clarity that goodpeople dont smoke marijuana. No, Mr. Sessions you have that wrong. You see, good people do not tell other people what to do with their bodies. Good people do not deny people of their right to make their own decisions about what to do in the privacy of their own homes. Good people do not use the force of government to deprive people of their access to a plant that shows incredible promise in the treatment and management of chronic health problems and devastating diseases. I think one of [Obamas]great failures, its obvious to me, is his lax treatment in comments on marijuana. It reverses 20 years almost of hostility to drugs that began really when Nancy Reagan started Just Say No. Everyone (except Sessions, apparently) knows the War on Drugs has been a tremendous (and very expensive) failure. His invocation of Nancy Reagan makes him look even more ignorant than his other comments do. Ethan Nadelmann of the Drug Policy Alliance, said in a statement: Jeff Sessions is a drug war dinosaur, which is the last thing the nation needs now.Those who counted on Donald Trumps reassurance that marijuana reforms should be a state issue will be sorely disappointed. Even though more and more states are legalizing both recreational and medicinal use of cannabis, it is still illegal at the federal level. The DEA continues to refuse to remove the plant from Schedule I, and the agency does not seem to care about states rights: States that have legalized cannabis for recreational use did not even escape the DEAs greed.Last year, confiscationcontinuedin Washington and Oregon. Full state breakdowns have not been provided, buta DEA spokesman said that just under 36,000 marijuana plants were destroyed in Washington last year at a cost to federal taxpayers of about $950,000, or roughly $26 per plant. So, it matters very much that we may end up with an AG who is anti-cannabis. In addition, Sessions has criticized President Barack Obama for commuting hundreds of prison sentences for drug offenders, as well as efforts by the Justice Department and U.S. Sentencing Commission to reduce criminal sentencing guidelines for certain drug offenses. Sessionshas opposed bipartisan proposals to cut mandatory minimum prison sentences. And, speaking ofthe War on Drugs and the deprivation of civil liberties Sessions is a strong supporter of civil asset forfeiture, the government thug practice of seizing property when it has allegedly been involved in a crime. In April 2015,during a Senate Judiciary Committeehearing on reforming federal civil asset forfeiture laws, Sessionsopposed ANY reform. He claimed police groups across the country told him civil asset forfeiture is an important law enforcement tool. Ending the sharing of seized cash with local departments would be a huge detriment to law enforcement, Sessions said. Sessions has also argued that once forfeiture is accomplished, there is nothing wrong with . . . [having] the money be given to the officers who helped develop the case. I wonder if Sessions realizes that police departments have used stolen assets to purchase things likesports cars, jackets, vacations, fancy dinners, and football tickets. I wonder if he knows that police departments have been caught hiding millions in seized cash and assets. I wonder if he heard about the$53,000 in donations for a childrens charity and orphanage that was seized by thugs in Oklahoma during a roadside shakedown earlier this year (thankfully, the money was returned to the charity a few weeks after it was stolen). Government thugs are now stealing more property from citizens than non-government criminals are. In 2014, the government stole $4.5 billionvia federal civil asset forfeiture. In contrast, all 2014 non-government related property offenses totaled approximately $3.9 billion. I wonder if Sessions knows about all of this. My guess is that he does, but doesnt care. **** Unfortunately, theres more. On October 5, 2005, Sessions was one of nine Senators who voted against a Senate amendment to a House bill that prohibited cruel, inhumane, or degrading treatment or punishment of individuals in the custody or under the physical control of the US government. Immigration is a controversial topic, but even many conservatives believe that people who have come to the US and are working, paying taxes, and otherwise being productive and law-abiding members of society should have the ability to become legal citizens. Sessions is not that kind of conservative. AsShikha Dalmia of Reason explained last week, Sessions has done more than any human alive to torpedo every sensible immigration reform effort and makes no bones about his wish to basically stop all immigration. He moves the goalposts on reform constantly, recently even calling for the elimination of the H-1B visa program for foreign techies, which sent chills down the IT sectors spine. Also from Reason: Its not just illegal immigration Sessions opposes, hes also fond of spreading the canard that all immigrants are a drain on the economy and take the jobs which are the birthright of all native-born Americas, when in fact, the opposite is much closer to the truth. Conservative Review gave Sessions a Liberty Score of C (78%), but I think that was being EXTREMELY generous. They report that Sessions: Earlier in this article, I mentioned Sessionss comment about the KKK being okay, but thats not the only thing he has done that has led many to believe he is a racist. Allegations of racism have appeared throughout his career, beginning as early as 1986. Someone who edits Wikipedia entries doesnt like him very muchnote the first line of this paragraph: Note: At the time of this articles publication, that entry had been corrected. The Attorney General represents the country in legal matters and gives advice to the president and government agencies. The Justice Departments duties include prosecution of white-collar crime and enforcement of antitrust and civil rights laws. As AG, Sessions would oversee all the US attorneys offices. So much for draining that swamp, and so much for hopes that Trump would be a pro-liberty president. Contributed by Lily Dane of The Daily Sheeple. Lily Dane is a staff writer for The Daily Sheeple. Her goal is to help people to Wake the Flock Up! Hes just more of the authoritarian same on many subjects. Especially cannabis freedom, which they dont have in his home state of Alabama. Im wondering about their thoughts on whats been happening with cannabis out on the west coast and what if anything theyre planning on doing about it?? Hopefully, like education, thats going to also be tossed back to the states to rule and govern on. There is some legitimacy to federal government involvement in the marijuana issue. It is the responsibility of the federal government to protect the states from threats coming across the border. This not only includes the border of other nations, but the borders between the states. Marijuana is harmful, and children ARE being harmed by it. So trying to prevent marijuana or any other drug from crossing the border is entirely proper. And in order to do that, the federal government has to define what is a criminal offense, so that it can enforce the borders against such things. Marijuana can be grown in many peoples back yards, so some of the enforcement would fall to the states. But not all of it. We the People are completely and totally FRELLED. IF there is a G-D, G-D help us The Kkk thing was a joke a bad joke he apologized for. A real low life I do not recall Democrats, Hollywood, or the media calling him a racist or a white supremacist. He was the respected constitutionalist. amazing how this site is now part of the mockingbird media. What made you guys sell out? .put some round wire rimmed glasses on his nose a black SS uniform on instead of a 3-piece suitpresto. ya got Heinrich Himmler Yawn. Sessions is also for arming and training the Soros/IMF backed junta nazis in Kiev is genocide against the Russian speakers of the former east Ukraine. Why didnt Trump choose Judge Andrew Napolitano? because Napolitano is apparently suffering from a viable healthy conscience fraught with empathy, compassion moralstsk tskcant have that in government nowit might become virulent to the NWO spread cant have that now can we. Patience: he may yet choose Napolitano after hes let Sessions hang himself with his own mouth, and fired him. The marijuana issue is a touchstone. All the honest scientific and historical evidence shows that MJ is a medically-useful drug, as an intoxicant its harmless, and the hemp Great choice right there! Edward Snowden, NSA Director has a ring to it How can an objective author write what is essentially a hit piece on Sessions without mentioning the names Michael McDonald, Henry Francis Hays, and Barry Kowalski. Hoping to get noticed by the MSM, or just another victim of the ideology that secured the White House for Trump? I agree with the headline, this article is deplorable. I hope you dont get paid for writing because your research skills are lacking. As long as he hates blacks and goes after them, who cares?!? Stir things Lisa! Youre so obvious of just a stirrer of the crap. Nice try and loretta lynch has done a great job Just another biblically unqualified official, thanks to Article 6s Christian test ban by which mandatory biblical qualifications were also eliminated. This shouldnt surprise anyone being Trump is also biblically unqualified. Many more to come until Americans (Christians in particular) wake up to the fact that weve been had, beginning in 1787.

I am very pleased with the choice of Jeff Sessions. The writer spends a lot of time focused on Marijuana which I have never seen Sessions talk about. I heard about his JOKE about the KKK smoking pot and I thought it was clearly sarcastic since he proceeded to get those KKK murderers the death penalty for their crimes. I dont believe Sessions has any interest in messing around with California legalizing marijuana. The conclusion that Sessions is anti-science is ridiculous. Even if it was true that Sessions didnt think Marijuana was helpful as medicine, it would be his opinion, (which this site knows every American has a right to have) and having one opinion doesnt make anyone anti-science. He is to be Attorney General, not trying to be a scientist. Sessions is for treating all people equally as American Citizens and I think this is very refreshing after years of identity politics. He is anti-illegal immigration, pro American worker and for school choice for all. Sessions has been a leader in the fight to save American jobs and fight globalist corporations and Banks like Goldman Sachs/Citibank and their agenda. Fighting against globalist bank agenda and all of the other powerful lobbies certainly changed his liberty score. The whole article smacks of CNN seen through the eyes of an imaginary old pothead. I typically see more free thinking on this site, lately it presumes to telling people what to think. New ownership? Youve given me several reasons why I LIKE the fact that Sessions was chosen. The most prominent is that marijuana SHOULD NOT BE LEGAL FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSES. There are at least a dozen ways that OTHER PEOPLES marijuana use or involvement have HARMED me or my family members without our consent, sometimes very seriously. I have studied marijuana extensively, and it is NASTY STUFF. I do not want to live in a community where recreational marijuana would be legal. The tiniest whiff of marijuana smoke gives me the granddaddy of all splitting headaches. I would be a prisoner in my own home. People dont have a right to trash my community just because they want to control their own bodies. Im sorry, but when you harm me, you are controlling MY body. I would hardly call opposing legal recreational marijuana making Sessions an enemy of liberty. Whatever happened to REAL LIBERTY, like the right to stay in ones own home as long as one wants? Have you noticed that the Libertarian Party no longer fights property tax? Property tax is the most INSIDIOUS and UNCONSTITUTIONAL tax, but the LP no longer cares. Its been co-opted by the drugheads. And never forget: marijuana is supposed to make people mellow. Mellow people dont fight for liberty. I could go on, but thats a good opening salvo. Now bring it on. I have an answer for every point of disagreement. I will not travel to any state where marijuana is legal. They lost my tourism. I praise and thank God my state isnt one of them. Very good comment and I agree. You are obviously an advocate for marijuana use and are confused. I had my day with that particular drug in my younger years. I also seen the wonderful benefits of this so called super drug. It kept me in an euphoria where I really didnt care bout much except pleasure. It helped me get into more fun drugs and it introduced me to a system called incarceration. They really liked the idea of me being under narcotic control, so much easier that way. You say what you will, but I lived it not just read and studied the so called research. It is a stepping stone kiddie drug to start the party! Tell them about the particles in the thc that gets trapped in the fatty cells of your brain and never dissipates just progressively grows when more is consumed. I went to treatment years ago when truth was told. Youre being duped and think your winning something. So help me God God needs to help you see the truth. I smoked MJ for yrs along with plenty of others who worked everyday, paid our bills and didnt move on to hard drugs. Dont lump everybody in with yourself. You did other drugs because you wanted to. Everybody who moved to harder drugs did it because they wanted to. Dont blame MJ for that. You didnt need a stepping stone. Take responsibility for your actions. I did take responsibility for my actions! I went to jail and I quit! Your argument will never fly with me because I know better. You told me to not lump everyone in one category,I say the same to your lumping these stupid studies into one category. The fact of the matter is, that it makes money, period. You have any other argument call on someone other than me. Ps. Mr.sessions is allowed to have his own opinion without interruptions from you me or anyone else. When you get nominated for an office as such you and your opinion will be just that, yours. God help us all Ooh, hit a nerve. I agree Mr. Sessions has every right to his opinion, never said otherwise. I didnt cite any studies. Being forced to quit by being put in jail isnt the same as taking responsibility. Taking responsibility for your actions would be not blaming an inanimate object (MJ) for your choice to party. God bless and keep you. Quit long before that because of damaging knowledge. Not a nerve really. Thank you for the blessing! Take care. May he bless you as well I have seen over just a short period of time the switch of this site from conservative to the left, not all the way yet but the way it is going it will not take too long to get there..Did soros buy you? are you now part of its evil empire? Sure seems so. As long as the taxpayers are on the hook to pay health care costs and welfare we have a say in whether people use drugs. Marijuana isnt the harmless plant that its proponents make it out to be. There is nothing government would like better than to get a nation full of pot heads who arent able to think rationally and who relies on government to think for them and support them. Ohyou just want to smoke pot. Well thank you for clearing up what the single most important issue in your world is. So Glad that Trump has Chosen Jeff Sessions as our AG. He will not put up with what happened in the last 8 years. Much More Change is Coming. Duck And Hide Dems. What a piece of garbage this article is. Is Lily Dane even a journalist? With the abuses, and lack of enforcement of the laws in the books that for eight years Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch did while in that position, the corruption in that department, the scandals in that department, Lynch meeting privately in a jet with her while his wife was under an FBI investigation. Eric Holder, fast and furious, both him and Lynch committing perjury before Congress, and 8 other Department of Justice scandals, refusing by Obamas orders to enforce border security and deportations when warranted, and refusing to enforce the DOMA which is still the law of the land and has not been revoked by Congress. And all this idiot has to talk about against Sessions is about marijuana, and jokes about the KKK, really? What kind of total retarded is this woman? I used to be a follower of this site. I will not be anymore. agree with one of the commenters below a total sell out. I thought I has been misdirected to an extreme leftwing radical website, and had to look at he url again. obviously a hit job on jeff sessions to sway our opinions. I dont like jeff sessions, but what I do like, and demand is ACCURATE reporting. This piece was not that. It left out a whole bunch of information about how Jeff Sessions supported civil rights and in some cases was the deciding vote on several civil rights cases that that he decided in favor of African Americans and was that deciding vote. Hardly sounds like someone who is racist. I think the liberal nutballs, such as this writer, have tried to redefine that word racist to extend the definition to anyone whom they disagree with, for any reason what-so-ever. Calm down. Trump may be setting up Sessions as a Target-man, a flak-catcher that he can throw to the wolves as soon as he screws up. Remember Trumps favorite words from his TV show: Youre fired! Unfortunately the person writing this article has not read all of the published effects of cannabis some effects are not good for a human in the long run when heavily smoked for years. Besides it illegal under National law. Typical media typo, it was supposed to read Trump picks enemy of the liberals ! Marijuana is a gate way drug. It is not good for recreational use. It however is an excellent drug for medicinal use. I believe that Sessions would not touch that aspect of the drug. A good point is made that people should have control of their bodies no matter how stupid it is. The war on drugs is a failure. My solution is for the government to sell all drugs to the people that want them at cost. This does away with the profit incentive of the drug lords. Drugs cost pennies to make so give the people what they want. Along with this education should be started in the 1st grade to teach children the danger of drugs. This will not do away with drug use but it will free the jails of many people, do away with murder that illegal drugs initiate and society would be better off in my opinion. Thanks for posting this. THIS is the moment that Jeff Sessions woke up Look, as a Truther, conservative, and talk show host here in Alabama, I know Jeff Sessions no he doesnt call me and chat about the state of the nation, but we DO know each other.. and i think he is a GREAT pick. i couldnt care less about his views on dope, its what he is going to do to the embedded pedophiles in DC that makes me have hope. give him a chance 
1	According to a Gallup poll released Thursday, a majority of Americans believe the best and most satisfying aspect of the entire 2012 presidential primary experience has been the opportunity to spend extended time in the company of four just really terrific guys. Calling Republican candidates Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, and Ron Paul 'truly great individuals right down the line,' and a group they had long wanted to get to know better, citizens across the country expressed deep gratitude for the chance not only to be around the four men, but to really learn more about who they are as people. 'The thing I'll miss most about the primaries, once they've sadly drawn to a close, won't be the process of figuring out who should be our next president, but getting to see my four new friends every day and have them in my life,' said poll respondent Marie Sedran, echoing the sentiments of millions nationwide. 'I mean, how many opportunities do you get in life to spend quality time with even one smart, charming, likable, sensitive, and downright lovely human being, let alone four at once!' 'Honestly, all through this entire primary season I've been pinching myself,' Sedran added. 'What did we do to deserve these four fantastic gentlemen?' According to poll participants, a number of factors have made this year's widely cherished presidential contest 'an utter joy from day one,' such as hearing Newt Gingrich's voice on a regular basis; learning more about Rick Santorum's opinions on a variety of topics; getting a nice, full picture of Mitt Romney's personal and political history; and enjoying Ron Paul's 'bright, winning smile and regular-guy charm.' Several respondents also remarked that over time, the group of men had stopped being 'Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Ron Paul: presidential candidates,' and had simply become 'Mitt, Newt, Ricky, and Ron: just a great bunch of fellas.' While each candidate was singled out for individual adoration in the poll results, a majority of Americans said that when the four men appeared together, in a debate format, the whole of the GOP field became even more pleasant and admirable than the sum of its parts. 'The only problem I had watching the four of them on stage togetherand I mean the only problemwas trying to figure out which one I liked the best!' poll participant Tom Yardley, 45, told reporters. 'Between Mitt's relatability, Rick's charm, Newt's soulfulness, and Ron's lovable sense of fun and good cheer, how could I pick a favorite, really? Eventually I decided to just relax, not worry about it, and enjoy hanging with these guys, because they're all great, they're all special, and they're all a blast to be around.' 'Heck, can't they all just be president?' Yardley added. While the poll reflects the joy and high spirits voters feel toward the candidates, it was also tinged with a slight bittersweet note, owing largely to the knowledge among respondents that the race would eventually come to an end, and that the experience of seeing the four men with such regularity, either together or apart, would be over one day soon. 'How do you say goodbye to a group of guys who started as four virtual strangers, and have since become something more akin to the four best pals you ever had?' said wistful poll respondent Diane Westhead, tears welling up in her eyes. 'Kind of makes you stop and think a little bit about the impermanence of life, doesn't it? And how all good times must eventually come to an end.' 'One thing's for sure: I will forever cherish these past few months, when four right-wing friends named Mitt, Ricky, Newt, and Ron came into our lives, touched our hearts, and made our world a little less gray and a little more full of wonder,' Westhead continued. 'No matter what happens from here on out, they really are the best group of guys a country ever had, aren't they?'

3	Will The Chinese Renminbi Replace The U.S. Dollar As The Primary Reserve Currency Of The World?Michael Snyder, Contributor The Chinese have not only been talking about cutting the legs out from under the U.S. dollar they have been actively doing it. The following is an excerpt from a recent story by Alan Wheatley, a global economics correspondent for Reuters. The aim is both narrowly commercial to reduce transaction costs for Chinese exporters and importers and sweepingly strategic. Displacing the dollar, Beijing says, will reduce volatility in oil and commodity prices and belatedly erode the exorbitant privilege the United States enjoys as the issuer of the reserve currency at the heart of a post-war international financial architecture it now sees as hopelessly outmoded. The mainstream media in the United States is almost entirely ignoring these developments, but the truth is that all of this is a very, very big deal. The following are just some of the international currency agreements that China has made in the last couple of years. -China and Germany (See Here) -China and Russia (See Here) -China and Brazil (See Here) -China and Australia (See Here) -China and Japan (See Here) -China and Chile (See Here) -China and the United Arab Emirates (See Here) -China, Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa (See Here) Most U.S. economists dismiss this threat by pointing out that China has stockpiled so many U.S. dollars and so much U.S. debt that if anything happens to the U.S. financial system China would be significantly damaged as well. That may be true to a certain extent, but what is also true is that most Americans fundamentally misunderstand our relationship with China. Most Americans believe that we are friends with China just because they are conducting massive amounts of trade with us. Sadly, that is not how the Chinese see us. They see us as the competition, and they very much plan on coming out on top in the end. Right now, the Chinese are stockpiling mind blowing amounts of gold. They are preparing for the day when the U.S. dollar crashes and when hard assets will be the place to be. And some are even speculating that the Chinese may be planning to back their own currency with gold at some point. The following is an excerpt from a recent article by Christopher K. Potter, the president of Northern Border Capital Management. Lest anyone doubt Chinas resolve, just consider the following: The Chinese government has recently removed all restrictions on personal ownership of gold; legalized domestic gold exchange traded funds; is currently purchasing 100% of domestic gold mine production; has imported over 750 tons of gold (27% of global output) in the last 12 months; stated publically its intention to add 1,000 tons per year to its central bank gold reserves; and is buying major stakes in foreign gold mining companies. The scale of this initiative is extraordinary. When the U.S. financial system crashes, what do you think the rest of the world is going to want paper U.S. currency that is rapidly becoming worthless or renminbi backed by gold? China is very serious about this effort to hoard gold. Reportedly, the amount of gold that China has imported in 2012 alone is greater than the total amount of gold that the European Central Bank is officially holding. And China is gobbling up gold mining operations all over the planet at a staggering rate. I discussed this extensively in a previous article that you can find here. Okay, so what happens if the rest of the world starts rejecting the U.S. dollar as a reserve currency and starts moving to other currencies such as the Chinese renminbi? The change would potentially be dramatic. Up until now, there has been a constantly growing demand for more dollars from the rest of the globe. They have needed dollars to buy oil and to trade with one another. All of this demand has kept the value of the U.S. dollar up. But if the rest of the globe started rejecting the dollar, it would drop like a rock. When the value of the dollar declines, imports become more expensive. So the price of oil would go higher and you would pay more for gasoline at the gas pump. And since just about everything is made outside the country these days, just about everything you buy at Wal-Mart would become significantly more expensive. The era of endless super cheap imports would be over and our standard of living would experience a massive adjustment. So just how bad could things get? Well, how would your life change if you went to the store a couple of years from now and the cost of everything was double or triple what it is today? Yes, I know that sounds dramatic, but a major currency crisis coupled with reckless money printing by the Federal Reserve could actually produce such an outcome. So enjoy those cheap imports while you still can. The days of the U.S. dollar being the sole primary reserve currency of the world are numbered, and when the dollar dies it is probably going to happen very rapidly.

1	Claiming that the mere thought is an absolute nightmare, WR 67c, a terrestrial planet from the distant Gamma Velorum star system, expressed its profound terror Wednesday at the possibility of one day gaining the capacity to sustain human life. The 5.2-billion-year-old celestial body, which is located roughly 1,100 light years from Earth, said that for both its own sake and that of its entire solar system, it can only hope to never possess the necessary planetary characteristics and chemical elements needed to support either a deep-space human outpost or, more gravely, an entire human colony. Luckily, with my high levels of atmospheric sulfur dioxide, methane, and radon, theres no way any human could survive on my surface for more than a few seconds, said WR 67c, adding that it is incredibly lucky to have developed extremely violent and widespread volcanism in addition to its poisonous atmosphere. But I dont know, what if I produce a magnetic field that blocks out stellar wind and cosmic radiation? What if I develop an axial tilt that fosters a mild global climate? Its terrifying to admit, but my surface temperature already sometimes drops to 120 degrees Fahrenheit at night, and their species can technically survive in that. Stuff like that really freaks me out, the extrasolar planet continued. The real doomsday scenario would be someday acquiring a breathable atmosphere rich with oxygen and ultraviolet-absorbing ozone. At that point, I might as well just hurl myself at the nearest black hole and be done with it. In an effort to allay its deep-seated fears of human habitation, WR 67c said it often reminds itself that its surface is constantly ravaged by devastating asteroid impacts and is perpetually showered by corrosive rains of pure sulfuric acid. However, because it occupies what Earth scientists have dubbed the habitable zone of its nearby star, the planet confessed that it often succumbs to sudden panic attacks in which it becomes intensely paranoid that it is developing liquid water on its crust. The silicate-based planet also expressed a similarly crippling worry that any of its six moons could one day develop atmospheric pressure and gravity levels suitable for the human body, underscoring that it does not want humans within 100 parsecs of its orbit. Boy, I can only imagine what that awful species would do to me if they found out I have an abundance of rich mineral deposits deep within me, said WR 67c, noting that the prospect of human scientists discovering its existence has already led to debilitating bouts of stress and anxiety. Those horrible organisms have already developed the technology for short-distance space travel, and its probably only a matter of time before they figure out how to voyage through interstellar space. Its almost like I can already feel them crawling all over my surface, infesting every inch of my crust, the planet added, shuddering. Ugh, its best not to even think about it. Despite its opposition to human life, WR 67c admitted no such reservations toward harboring other carbon-based lifeforms, noting that most are harmless and actually tend to form a peaceful and pleasant symbiosis with their surroundings. Honestly, I really wouldnt mind having certain living organisms, WR 67c said. Prokaryotes or maybe some unicellular Mycetozoa would be totally finein fact, those kinds of species would be more than welcome. And most plants or animals really wouldnt bother me in the slightest. I could actually see myself happily accommodating a variety of biomes for all sorts of organisms. Just not humans, the planet quickly added. Seriously, anything but those parasites. Given that its size is roughly three times that of Earth, WR 67c acknowledged with considerable apprehension that it could theoretically house tens of billions of humansfar more than the Earths capacitya prospect it said was too terrifying to contemplate. The distant terrestrial world then confirmed that should human beings ever safely step foot on its surface, it would do everything in its power to generate devastating volcanic activity and seismic instability in an effort to repel them. However, if it proved unable to shake the species, the planet said it hoped for the nearby Wolf-Rayet star to immediately go supernova, instantly obliterating all orbiting planets in a cataclysmic burst of thermonuclear energy. Its absolutely horrifying to think of human beings living off my geochemistry and atmosphere, but to be honest, if I can just get through the next 50 or so Earth years, I should be in the clear, WR 67c said. Theyll definitely all be dead by then. 
2	Michelle Obama Is Trying To Close All American Museums Because They Are Only For White People According to recent reports, First Lady Michelle Obama used an appearance at a New York City museum opening to push her narrative about race. Michelle raised eyebrows when she made they claim that museums are designed for white people. Her comments are below: You see, there are so many kids in this country who look at places like museums and concert halls and other cultural centers and they think to themselves, well, thats not a place for me, for someone who looks like me, for someone who come from my neighborhood. In fact, I guarantee you that right now, there are kids living less than a mile from here who would never in a million years dream that they would be welcome in this museum. And growing up on the South Side of Chicago, I was one of those kids myself. So I know that feeling of not belonging in a place like this. And today, as first lady, I know how that feeling limits the horizons of far too many of our young people. What do you think of Michelles comments? Museums are open to the publicis she trying to create an issue where there isnt one? 
1	Setting his sights on a point five minutes into the future, snooze button time traveler Brent Conley, 31, engaged the launch initiation switch on his temporal teleportation device at precisely 7:30 a.m. this morning, immediately sending himself hurtling through time. Having carefully computed the appropriate coordinates and loaded them into his sophisticated time-travel mechanism, the veteran temporal navigator and online ad salesman was reportedly able to rocket himself through the very fabric of the fourth dimension with little more than the press of a button, traveling the equivalent of five earth minutes in the mere blink of an eye. Ummghh, said the snooze button time traveler upon his virtually instantaneous arrival at 7:35 a.m., having rematerialized in the same spot in his one-bedroom apartment exactly one-twelfth of an hour after his departure. Wha? Gahh, he added as he eyed his current time coordinates with disapproval, immediately discerning with the insight of years of time-travel experience that he had yet to journey far enough into the future. With a vigorous and confident strike of his hand, Conley reportedly engaged the ignition button again, initiating a second staggering surge though the chronological ether. Quickly assuming the proper supine position necessary for time travel, the temporal voyager pulled close his duvet heat barrier for the fantastic light-speed journey before him. While the electronic time-manipulation device that powers Conleys leaps into the future is said to be small, it is by no means simple. Bearing a dizzying array of switches, dials, buttons, and an arcane digitized display of glowing numbers and dots, the mechanism can reportedly be calibrated to the time cruisers exact needs and is always kept within arms reach, perched conveniently atop a birch-veneer self-assembled end table. According to reports, the advanced device emits piercing tones to indicate a successful arrival in the future, often blaring the choruses and verses of classic rock songs from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and today, or occasionally the shrill vocalizations of Conleys disembodied travel companions, Bill And Linda In The Morning. Son of a said the veritable time captain after a second deftly executed chrono-jump, his vision blurred and a watery discharge emanating from his mouth, both common side effects of his disorienting blasts through spacetime. Come on. Agh, he added defiantly before challenging the very limits of time travel by commencing a third vault across the temporal threshold. According to astonishing accounts, the 2003 University of Minnesota graduate is known to venture as far as 20 minutes into the future routinely, completing such mind-bending feats of chronological teleportation as many as three or four mornings per week. To endure his extraordinary journeys, Conley reportedly wears a specialized time-travel suit consisting of cutting-edge cotton-poly-blend plaid leg coverings and protective upper-body gear emblazoned with the words Hard Rock Cafe London, garments specifically suited for the particular rigors of his transits. In addition, the chrononauts meticulously engineered queen-sized time-pod, which carries Conley effortlessly into the future, is said to consist of dozens of hidden spring coils, a space-age quilt-top surface, and several insulating layers of highly advanced 300-thread-count textiles. In spite of his remarkable ability to bend the very dimensions of time to his will, the snooze button time traveler is said to occasionally encounter obstacles on his voyages. Indeed, such a glitch reportedly occurred Monday when an errant deactivation of his devices power toggle, which is located within just inches of the launch bar, propelled the traveler into a much deeper wormhole in the spacetime continuum than he had anticipated, depositing him woefully into the far-too-distant future. What? said Conley in momentary confusion, examining the unexpected digits 8:28 on his chrono-display before realizing he had been thrust a startling 48 minutes into the future and had no means of return. No! God fucking dammit, the time traveler added as he hurriedly grabbed khaki pants and a dress shirt from his hamper and sprinted toward the bathroom. 
3	Greek Town Implements Revolutionary Barter System Without EuroGreece continues along a path toward self-sufficiency that could very well see them break free from their debt servitude. This is an encouraging sign, and one that is replicating throughout austerity-ridden economies the world over. International currencies are increasingly being rejected in the face of reduced living standards through inflation and outright theft by global banksters. Americans would do well to learn from the truly revolutionary actions taken by individuals in deliberately collapsed countries, because if global (mis)managers have their way, a similar scenario is guaranteed to unfold in the United States. 
2	Outrage After Public School Found Teaching Kids To Mock God, Box Of Sex Toys A Washington state parent of a 17-year-old high school girl, is speaking out after she attended a school awards ceremony that featured profanity, inappropriate jokes, and even, she claims, a box of sex toys. All of these things allegedly took place in an event put on by Teri Grimes, the drama teacher at Bellingham High School. The parent has chosen to remain anonymous, but did share her experience in an email to KOMO-TV. She claims that the presentation she witness brought her to tears. I sat there with my mouth open in shock and the final straw was when a joke was told on stage about a teacher, a lawyer, and a priest on a plane, the concerned parent wrote, The plane was going down and the teacher says we have to save the children. The attorney says F*** the children and the priest says Ooh, do we have time for that? According to the parent, she left shortly after. Her email also claimed that inappropriate language was used throughout the presentation, and that the awards given were even more shocking. According to the parent, one award was for the horniest stud and featured a box of sex toys as a prize. Another category was horniest girl. Shortly afterward, Grimes issued a public apology, claiming, I deeply apologize for some very inappropriate comments and actions made during our drama students end-of-the-year awards ceremony. This is not representative of our students who take such great pride in their school and respect one another. Much of the evening was a great celebration of their work. However, as a teacher and the clubs leader, I take full responsibility and am extremely sorry. What do you think of the shocking performance? 
2	After Being A Vegetable For 12 Years, God Wakes Up The Young Man Who Tells An Unbelievable Story Martin Pistorious was diagnosed with Cryptococci Meningitis at the age of 12. Doctors said that Martins health would slowly deteriorate until he died, and that he didnt have very long to live. Martin slowly went into a vegetative state, and shocked doctors by living up until 39. But what completely shattered everyones reality was when he gained consciousness again. Martin said, Yes, I was there, not from the very beginning, but about two years into my vegetative state, I began to wake up. I was aware of everything, just like any normal person. Everyone was so used to me not being there that they didnt notice when I began to be present again. The stark reality hit me that I was going to spend the rest of my life like that totally alone. You dont really think about anything. You simply exist. Its a very dark place to find yourself because, in a sense, you are allowing yourself to vanish. At the caregiver center, they would play Barney reruns over and over because they believed he couldnt hear or see anything. I cannot even express to you how much I hated Barney. Martin was haunted by horrible thoughts of his mothers comments, saying that she wishes he would die. He learned to reframe his thinking and became very mentally tough. Did this story inspire you? 
3	Vaccines And Autism: The Secret That You Are Not Supposed To KnowMichael Snyder, Contributor Our schools are absolutely packed with special needs children, and millions of parents are desperately trying to figure out why so many kids are having such severe developmental problems. Strangely, most autistic children start out perfectly normal. Most of them develop just fine for the first year or two and then something dramatic happens. So what could that possibly be? Well, there is a secret that you are not supposed to know. That secret is that vaccines are one of the primary causes of autism. As the number of vaccines being administered to our children has risen, so has the percentage of our children with autism. Today, in some areas of the United States more than 30 vaccines are being given to young children before the age of 3. When you inject so much mercury and so much other toxic material directly into the bloodstreams of vulnerable young children, bad stuff is bound to happen. The evidence linking vaccines and autism continues to mount, and yet the pharmaceutical establishment continues to vigorously deny that there could possibly be any link between the two. If you start surfing around the Internet you can find enough testimonies like this to keep you reading for days on end. But for the pharmaceutical establishment, a link must never be admitted between vaccines and autism. Hundreds of billions of dollars of profits are at stake, and the legal implications of admitting that vaccines cause autism would be absolutely mind blowing. The big pharmaceutical companies will never, ever, ever, ever admit a link. And since those companies also spend billions of dollars advertising on the mainstream media, the mainstream media will never admit a link either. It is all about the money. So they have to act incredibly puzzled about what is causing cases of autism to dramatically surge in the United States. And dramatically surge is actually an understatement. It is getting really hard to deny that the epidemic of autism in America is absolutely exploding. The following is from a recent CNN article. In 2000 and 2002, the autism estimate was about 1 in 150 children. Two years later 1 in 125 8-year-olds had autism. In 2006, the number was 1 in 110, and the newest data from 2008 suggests 1 in 88 children have autism. So what is causing this? The mainstream media is floating all kinds of bizarre theories. But an increasing number of U.S. parents are coming to one conclusion. Despite overwhelming propaganda in the mainstream media that vaccines do not cause autism, one poll found that one out of every four parents now believe that vaccines cause autism. So why are so many parents not listening to the experts? Well, it is because of what they have seen in real life. The following is from a recent Huffington Post article. Its a fact that many children with ASD regressed following normal development just as they were receiving multiple vaccines at regular doctor visits. Health officials say the timing is entirely coincidental. Regression usually occurs between 12 and 24 months, though one study found that some children show signs of autism as early as six months, but never before that age. By six months of age, most U.S. children have received about 18 inoculations containing 24 vaccines against nine diseases. Over the next two years or so, they will receive another nine shots containing 14 vaccines against 12 diseases. So whether a child regresses at six months, or 18 months, the tragedy happens during a period of intensive vaccination. In many cases, parents report that the child had an abnormal reaction after being vaccinated (seizures, spiking-fevers, diarrhea, lethargy, high-pitched screaming and/or other symptoms). If your kid stopped talking within days (or even hours) after receiving a vaccine, how would you feel? The big pharmaceutical companies have funded many studies to try to show that there is no link between vaccines and autism, but many independent studies contradict the findings of those corporate-funded studies. The following is from an article by Paul Joseph Watson. So what is so bad is about thimerosal? Well, thimerosal contains mercury which is one of the most toxic substances known to mankind. Mercury has been proven to severely impair neurological development. The following comes directly from the EPA website. For fetuses, infants, and children, the primary health effect of methylmercury is impaired neurological development. Methylmercury exposure in the womb, which can result from a mothers consumption of fish and shellfish that contain methylmercury, can adversely affect a babys growing brain and nervous system. Impacts on cognitive thinking, memory, attention, language, and fine motor and visual spatial skills have been seen in children exposed to methylmercury in the womb. So why in the world would we want to pump massive amounts of mercury into our young children when their brains are just starting to develop? It is literally insane to do this! Many other countries around the world have recognized this and have banned thimerosal from vaccines. The following comes from an article by Dawn Prate. In 1977, a Russian study found that adults exposed to ethylmercury, the form of mercury in thimerosal, suffered brain damage years later. Studies on thimerosal poisoning also describe tubular necrosis and nervous system injury, including obtundation, coma and death. As a result of these findings, Russia banned thimerosal from childrens vaccines in 1980. Denmark, Austria, Japan, Great Britain and all the Scandinavian countries have also banned the preservative So why is it not banned in the United States? And why do so many American parents still allow it to be pumped at very high levels directly into the bloodstreams of their precious young children? There are thousands upon thousands of parents that are willing to testify that they would never have allowed their children to be vaccinated if they could go back and do it again. The following are some testimonies about vaccines and autism that were posted by readers of Organic Health. Katrina: Anonymous: Cindy: Freddie: DA: AJD: But it isnt just young children that are being harmed by vaccines. Thousands upon thousands of pregnant women have lost their babies very shortly after taking vaccines. Thousands upon thousands of adults have become permanently disabled very shortly after taking vaccines. If you want to read more, you can find dozens of vaccine horror stories here and here. The good news is that if your child has autism there is hope. Once you understand that vaccines can cause autism, it becomes much easier to treat it. The following is a quote from Dr. Russell Blaylock. Studies of autistic children have frequently shown very high levels of mercury, with no other source but vaccines found for the exposure. These levels are equal to those seen in adults during toxic industrial exposures. Several autism clinics have found dramatic improvements in the behavior and social interactions in children from whom the mercury was chelated. Results depended on how soon the mercury was removed following exposure, but permanent damage can be caused if the metal is not chelated soon enough. Still, even in cases of severe damage, because of the infant brains tremendous reparative ability, improvements are possible. The problem of autism involves numerous body systems including the gastrointestinal, immune and nervous systems; as a result we see numerous infections and magnified effects of malnutrition. Intrepid workers in the shadows, that is outside the medial establishment, have worked many miracles with these children using a multidisciplinary scientific approach completely ignored by the orthodoxy. Some children have even experienced a return to complete physiological normalcy. So if your child has autism, do not give up hope. There are things that can be done. Sadly, authorities all over the nation are responding to the anti-vaccine movement by becoming harsher with parents than ever. For example, all over America children that have not received all of the required vaccines are being banned from school. In some instances, children are actually being taken away from their parents for not giving them the proper vaccines. In one recent case in Pennsylvania, a social worker took custody of a baby just after it had been born just because the mother would not consent to have the child vaccinated. This is complete and utter madness. Shouldnt parents have the right to determine whether or not their young children will be pumped full of mercury and other toxic substances? Shouldnt parents have the right to question whether it is a good idea to inject kids with dozens of vaccines before the age of 3? But that is not the way that our system works. The big pharmaceutical companies fund the campaigns of our politicians, and then they get our politicians to bully us into taking their vaccines. For much more on all of this, please check out an article entitled Autism Vaccines by Barbara Loe Fisher. There is so much that could be written about this subject, but hopefully this article will get you started. Before you ever decide to vaccinate a child, educate yourself about vaccines as much as possible. How bad will autism have to get in America before we all finally admit the truth?

1	Sources confirmed this afternoon that a heavily armed Karl Rove has positioned himself atop the Electoral College clock tower and is planning to pick off at least 50 electors with a high-precision sniper rifle. Wearing a black tactical ammunition vest with multiple submachine-gun magazine pouches, a holster containing an extra semiautomatic handgun, and several M67 grenades clipped to the chest, Rove reportedly walked up 27 floors to the top of the clock tower, which overlooks the Electoral Colleges main quad area and offers the Republican strategist a perfect vantage point to assassinate electors as they exit the Swing State Dining Hall and the Twelfth Amendment Science Building. Law enforcement officials said Rove appears to be primarily targeting Electoral College attendees from Ohio and Florida. Mr. Rove is armed, extremely dangerous, and, we believe, mentally ill, said lead FBI agent Peter Coburn, adding that his team is working with Electoral College Campus Security to move the institutions 538 enrolled electors out of harms way. Several witnesses who saw Mr. Rove begin his ascent to the top of the clock tower said he looked stone-faced and was muttering something about making good on his promises to Republican super PAC donors everywhere and to Jesus Christ almighty. We are currently unable to get inside the clock tower because Mr. Rove has destroyed several flights of stairs with plastic explosives, Coburn added. Either way, we are urging all Electoral College attendees to stay inside the Red and Blue Dormitory until further notice. According to FBI representatives, evidence of Roves assassination plot was discovered inside the Fox pundits off-campus studio apartment. Amidst old newspapers, weeks-old pizza boxes, and rats, agents said they found an Electoral College yearbook in which multiple faces had been crossed out with red Xs. In addition, officials discovered several composition notebooks filled with Roves psychotic musings, including his 2004 plans to seize control of the entire country, and a passage in which he graphically describes how he wants to slit Electoral College president Nate Silvers throat and then bathe in his blood while staring at his naked body in the bathroom mirror. One notebook, sources confirmed, was just page after page of the words Hamilton County written over and over again. You dont call a state with 991 votes between the candidates, Rove wrote. You dont do that. You never do that. And if you do, Im not the one whos crazy. Youre the one whos crazy. You are the one who must be stopped. You are part of the liberal conspiracy trying to take hold of this nation. And I will be the one to murder you and the children you wanted to abort. I will be the one who stops the madness. I will rain bullets and hellfire on your heads. Say goodbye. As the standoff continued, FBI agents said they were having difficulty getting through to Rovea 2000 Electoral College graduate and basketball standoutand told reporters that special reinforcements needed to be brought in. Karl, come down from there, said former president George W. Bush, shouting into a bullhorn. I love you. And I know you love me. I would be devastated if I lost you, so dont do something stupid. We just have to come to terms with the fact that the Republican Party needs to change dramatically in order to win these general elections. We have to be more inclusive. We cant tell women how to live their lives, and we have to be more gay-friendly At press time, Rove detonated one of his grenades, destroying the clock tower and sending his dismembered body parts cascading to the ground. 
3	WikiLeaks Announces 100,000 Bounty For Secret TTIP DocumentsBy Star Fox As of Wednesday afternoon (ET) the campaign has already raised 47% of its goal. A statement on the WikiLeaks website reads: 100,000 reward for Europes most wanted secret. The TTIP is a multi-trillion dollar international treaty that is being negotiated in secret between the United States and the European Union. It remains secret almost in its entirety, closely guarded by the negotiators, and only big corporations are given special access to its terms. The TTIP covers half of global GDP and is one of the largest agreements of its kind in history. The TTIP aims to create a global economic bloc outside of the WTO framework, as part of a geopolitical economic strategy against the BRICS countries of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has dubbed the TTIP an economic NATO, comparing it to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization military alliance. Over the last two years WikiLeaks has published chapters from two other secret global trade deals, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) and the Trade in Services Agreement (TISA), despite unprecedented efforts by negotiating governments to keep them under wraps. Together with the TTIP, these treaties represent the Three Big Ts, affecting 53 countries, 1.6 billion people and covering two thirds of the global economy. They aim to create a new international legal regime allowing transnational corporations to bypass domestic courts, evade environmental protections, police the internet on behalf of the content industry, limit the availability of affordable generic medicines, and drastically curtail each countrys legislative sovereignty. Of the Three Big Ts, the TTIP remains the least exposed to public scrutiny, and the most significant to the interests of the European public. WikiLeaks is also crowd sourcing money to reward the release of the better known Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) deal. $105,654.02 in pledges have been made towards the reward so far which completes 70% of its stated goal of $150000. WikiLeaks on the TPP: Americas most wanted secret. The TPP is a multi-trillion dollar international treaty that is being negotiated in secret by the US, Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico and others. This massive agreement has 29 chapters, of which 26 are still secret. It covers 40% of global GDP and is the largest agreement of its kind in history. The treaty aims to create a new international legal regime that will allow transnational corporations to bypass domestic courts, evade environmental protections, police the internet on behalf of the content industry, limit the availability of affordable generic medicines, and drastically curtail each countrys legislative sovereignty. US Senator Elizabeth Warren has said [They] cant make this deal public because if the American people saw what was in it, they would be opposed to it. Over the last two years WikiLeaks has published three chapters of this super-secret global deal, despite unprecedented efforts by negotiating governments to keep it under wraps. The remaining 26 chapters of the deal are closely held by negotiators and the big corporations that have been given privileged access. The TPP is also noteworthy as the icebreaker agreement for the proposed T-treaty triad of TPP-TISA-TTIP which would see TPP style rules placed on 53 nations, 1.6 billion people and 2/3rds of the global economy. The tenth round of TTIP talks took place in Brussels from July 13-17. According to the European Commission Report, technical progress was made in the regulation part of the deal but significant work is still needed to get the deal done. As for the TPP, the finalization of the deal came to a screeching halt in Hawaii at the end of July due to differences between major players in the negotiations. The WikiLeaks-funded incentives might be contributing motivation to a protest group out of New Zealand who calls themselves Show Us Ya Text. The group recently stormed the Auckland Ministry of Foreign Affairs office to demand the full release of the TPP deal. Members of TPP protest group Show Us Ya Text at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Auckland office. Star Fox is a U.S. based journalist who contributes to Eyesopenreport.com. His works have been published by recognizable alternative new sites like GlobalResearch.ca, selfnewsPost.com and Intellihub.com. Follow @StarFoxReport But this is so that the CIAs wikileaks will be trusted. All their leaks are unverified. Wikileaks is a Israhell mossad op. CIA -MOSSAD- KGB what difference does it make. the same banking cabal use them all. The advantage of the Wikileaks Psy Op is not only controlling the spin on faux leaks, it is likely also set up to be a snare for naive whistle blowers who dont know where else to turn to release important information to the public. This way, real whistle blowers can reveal vulnerabilities and the info, if released, can be fragmented and watered down blunting the effect. Id like to see just one paragraph from the TTIPespecially anything have to do with forcing GMOs down the throats of our trading partners through cleverly written mandated agreements in the treaty. I just switched from trading the Forex or should I say trying to trade the Forex over to a great website called Code Trading System, you can just Google them and find them. They teach how to trade the futures and for me the futures is much better than the Forex Ive been making money trading the futures whereas with the Forex all I did was lose my money and thats the truth! 
2	GOP Candidate Moves To Stop Obamas Gun Agenda Lately, President Barack Obama seems intent on stripping Americans of their Second Amendment rights. Now, its rumored that Obama is set to issue an executive order to tighten restrictions on firearms. If Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul has his way, however, Obama will do no such thing. He intends to halt Obamas anti-gun efforts by introducing legislation that will counteract any executive action. The Second Amendment Protection Act renders any ruling by Obama as advisory only in nature. In the United States, we do not have a king, but we do have a Constitution, Paul said. We also have t he Second Amendment, and I will fight tooth and nail to protect it. The bill would also empower any state official, member of Congress or American citizen affected by Obamas executive actions with standing to file a civil lawsuit against him. The legislation is reportedly being fast-tracked through the Senate and is expected to be a priority following the holiday break. Of course, Democrats will likely try to disrupt the process. What do you think? Do you support this new legislation? 
3	The Big Blackout: Why Im Going Low-Tech to Prep for an EMPDaisy Luther Aaron Dykes of Truthstream Media wrote an excellent article about the extreme likelihood of a catastrophic event that could take out our power grid: Weve all read many articles about the likelihood of grid failure. Weve been warned again and again that it isnt a matter of if, but when, it happens. The problem with that method of preparation is, the fuel-generated lifestyle will only last for as long as you havewellfuel. Very few of us have enough storage space or the proper facilities to store 5 years worth of fuel. If the power grid goes down in a catastrophic way, its going to take at least 5 years to get things up and running again, and thats assuming things ever get up and running again in the way they are now. That means that people are spending thousands of dollars investing in items that will only sustain their lifestyles for a brief period of time. Generators are not a long term solution unless you have renewable power. (More on that later). While a generator would be a blessing in a short-term emergency (think a week-long power outage due to a storm), for a permanent way of life they are completely impractical. Furthermore, in the event of an EMP strike, if your generator is not protected, it may not work no matter how much fuel you have stored. Maybe the fact that Im not rolling in money is the reason I feel this way. Maybe people with lots of money to spare have ideas about how to keep their generators running forever. But for my personal situation, this is a preparation strategy that is completely impractical. If money is an object in your preparedness endeavors, (and lets face it, money is an object for most of us these days), then focus your dollars on preps that are sustainable without electrical power. Whether you can get power from an outlet in the wall or not, the necessities of day-to-day life will remain the same: The ultimate preparedness goal should be to provide those necessities without any help from the power grid, generators, or fossil fuel. When my youngest daughter and I lived in the North Woods of Canada, we lost power frequently throughout the year. Lots of folks in the area had generators that they would fire up when the power went out, and that was a viable solution, since gas stations were available and fuel was pretty much unlimited as long as you could afford to go get it. We were on a tight budget, however, and we adapted our situation to live without power during those outages. After the first couple of outages, we had worked out most of the bugs and we even began to look forward to our time without power it was like a little vacation from the regular workday. As plugged in as our society is, power is not actually a necessity its a luxury, and we can live without it as long as we are adaptable, creative, willing, and prepared. Lets look at some specific examples of low-tech ways to take care of our necessities. These ideas are just food for thought, based on my own preparedness plan they may not be the solutions that will work best for you, but the goal here is to brainstorm your own situation and figure out how to live your life low-tech if the need occurs. If you havent located water sources near your home, its time to break out the topographical maps of your area and find them! A low-tech water plan might include some or all of the following: Off-grid Shelter and Warmth Homes these days arent built to function without a connection to the power grid. If you arent fortunate enough to live in an older home that was designed for off-grid living, look at some ways to take your home back a century or so. A secondary heating system is vital in most climates. Off-grid Food Not only do you need access to food, but you also need a way to cook it and a way to keep your refrigerated and frozen items from spoiling. Off-grid Sanitation and Hygiene How will you keep clean and deal with human waste in the event of a long-term emergency? Off-grid Lighting The world is a scary place when its dark, and most of us have forgotten how dark TRUE dark really is, due to light pollution and the proximity of neighbors. Here are some lighting solutions for an off grid world: Renewable power is practical power. One exception to my no-generators rule is renewable power. If you can afford a solar set up for your home, then very little would change about your day-to-day life, aside from you being one of the few people with power. You dont have to go totally solar to have power for a few important items. Assuming you have electronics in working order, they can be powered with solar, wind, or water. Most of us cant afford an entire set up but these are some options to consider: What will you do when the electrical power goes out? Do you have plans in place for a long-term (or permanent) power outage? Are you planning to use generators and maintain your current lifestyle, or are you planning to go low-tech?

2	Bergdahl To Receive $200,000 In Back Pay Even after reports that Bowe Bergdahl was a deserter, who denounced his U.S. citizenship, it appears that our government isnt through with granting him favors. Instead, Obama has decided to reward Bergdahl even more than he already has. As if the price we paid wasnt already enough, Army regulations imply that Bergdahl may be entitled to over $200,000 in backed pay for the time he was imprisoned. Army regulations stipulate that he is entitled to his salary of roughly $1,400 a month for his deployment, plus benefits such as housing allowance and hostile-fire pay, according to a report by The Washington Post. With some simple math placing his capture in 2009, that comes out to hundreds of thousand dollars. According to former Army judge Greg Rinckey Bergdahl is entitled to that money. At a later date, the Army could go back and try to recoup it, but at this point, he is due his pay. To make matters worse, liberals are now pushing for Bergdahl not to be judged until he is proven guilty and we have all the facts. What do you think? Is Bergdahl a deserter? Does he deserve to be paid? 
3	They Are Coming For Our WaterDave Hodges Along these lines, there is presently a three-pronged globalist plot designed to subjugate the people of this country. These three elements include (1) controlling the nations water supplies by creating massive debt forcing governments to relinquish control over its water supplies; (2) private individuals and corporations are acquiring and hoarding massive amounts of water; and, (3) the Environmental Protection Agency is presently engaged in activities, on behalf of the UNs Agenda 21 policies, to use the control of water to also control food production and eliminate private property ownership. The Path to American Totalitarianism If a totalitarian government desired to control the people of the United States, garrisoning the country with an army of occupation would be extremely difficult, if not impossible. The United States has 315 million people who own a total of 300+ million plus handguns and the country occupies a good portion of a continent. These are daunting challenges to occupying the United States. Most military strategists will tell you that it takes about one soldier for every 50 citizens to effectively garrison a country. This means that an army which would effectively garrison this country would have to be over six million strong! Even for the Chinese, this would be a difficult task. There are simpler and more efficient ways to control a country than military occupation. How to Successfully Occupy the United States History tells us that to successfully occupy the United States, one would be better off controlling essential life-sustaining resources instead of attempting to garrison the country. What are these essential resources? To control a population such as the United States, one would have to control what Abraham Maslow called the essential elements for survival, namely food, water and shelter. How best to control food, water and shelter than to reduce the diversification of ownership over these resources. History has produced an effective model to describe how to control these essential elements of survival. Phase One: Debt Enslavement Leads to Control of Water Both history and current events demonstrate that the more debt a country acquires, the more at risk that country is to losing control over its infrastructure and, in particular, its water supplies to private interests. What do countries do when they are being strangled by debt? The answer is simple, they simply borrow more money. As Americas aging infrastructure falls further into disrepair, the various levels of government will be forced to borrow more money in order to keep its water supplies safe. This has been done before and the results were devastating to the country borrowing money. Bolivia, in 2000, is the poster child for what happens to a country when it borrows money to fix its water issues. The Bolivian case in point is exemplified by the fact that the country borrowed money from the predatory World Bank in order to fix its water issues. The World Bank brought in Bechtel Corporation to fix Bolivias water issues, however, Bolivia predictably defaulted on its World Bank loan obligations and their water supplies went into receivership as prices skyrocketed by 400%. Further, the Bolivians lost the right to trap rainwater and reuse irrigation water. The exact scheme is also underway in Lima, Peru, where the typical poor family pays private vendors up to $3 per cubic meter to collect contaminated water in buckets while the elite pay 30 cents per cubic meter for treated water that pours out of taps in their homes. Also, in India, some families spend a quarter of their income on water. Debt manipulation, for the ultimate purpose of controlling water, is not just in play in the Third World. Very soon, Americas crushing debt load combined with a quickly declining water infrastructure will lead officials in the US. The derivative debt has paralyzed the economies of Europe and the United States. Debt default, followed by the banker bailouts will lead to private entities controlling our essential resources. How long will it be until the globalists have to bail out the American economy while we continue on our trek towards unsustainable debt? When Americas economy falters, the bankers, armed with their central bank printing presses, will come to the rescue. The price for their intervention, judging by what happened in Bolivia, will be total control over our infrastructure. Collecting rainwater and purifying stream water to drink, have already become illegal acts. All water will be obtained through the public private partnership corporations; and you can bet, as history has set the precedent, the price of water will get very expensive. States like Colorado, Utah and Washington have already made it illegal to trap rain water and use these resources for such purposes as drinking and irrigation. In Douglas County, Colorado, just south of metropolitan Denver, engineers conducted a study on how rainwater collection affects aquifer function and health as well as groundwater supplies. The study revealed that when private parties collect rainwater on their properties, this serves to reduce the demand on local water facilities and improves conservation efforts. Based upon this research, trapping rainwater should be encouraged. However, conservation is not the goal of modern-day water management political and personal control of the citizenry is the final objective. The Bolivian water experience is already underway in the United States. Did we really think that this was only going to happen in Bolivia? Similar projects are underway in Manila, Pakistan and San Francisco. Yes, this is correct; Bechtel now has a contract with San Franciscos city government to upgrade the citys water system. Bechtel employees are working side by side with city workers in a privatization move that people-in-the-know fear will lead to an eventual takeover of San Franciscos water system and create a fiasco similar to the one in Bolivia. The wolf is at the door as massive debt will soon cause the US to lose control over our water. This is all part of an Agenda 21 plot to control the water of the United States in order to subjugate the people and to make a lot of money in the process. The Inbred Relationship Among the Government, Bechtel and the United Nations How interconnected are the global corporations to the United States Government, the United Nations and Agenda 21? Before the cries which will challenge me to don my tinfoil hat before writing about a water conspiracy, I would ask that you please first consider the following list of Bechtel employees who have moved into major policy making positions both in the United States Government and the United Nations. The connections between these groups can be further exemplified by the following: United Resolution 1483, from the UN Security Council in 2003, approved the occupation of Iraq by American and British forces, thus making Iraq into a de facto colony. As such, this opened door for a corporate feeding frenzy by companies such as Bechtel as they lined up to repair Iraq following Gulf War II. Subsequently, Bechtel received a $1.03 billion contract to oversee major reconstruction of Iraqs water and sewage. In spite of Bechtels promises, Iraqi families continue to lack access to clean water. The company made providing Southern Iraqs potable water one of its top priorities in which Bechtel promised delivery within 60 days following the commencement of the project. Within a year, Iraqi people still were suffering through epidemics of water-borne illnesses (e.g., cholera, kidney stones and diarrhea). Bechtel failed to live up to its word, but they did make a lot of money. And some people think that the United Nations is merely a benign and benevolent organization which is essentially neutral on all areas of politics and finance. Today, the stock holders of Bechtel have the United Nations to thank, in large part, for their good fortune Conclusion Lets be very clear. Debt is being used to control water by taking advantage of various levels of governments which are defaulting on financial obligations. This practice will soon be visited upon the United States. The United Nations, the World Bank and globalist corporations (e.g. Bechtel) are waiting in the wings to subjugate our people as our crushing debt will undoubtedly open this door. America can indeed be garrisoned through the control of water. And the control of water will, in large part, be facilitated through the controlling of the Americas debt. If this were the sole extent of our water challenges, our collective existence would be imperiled, but it gets worse. We now know that when the globalists invade a country, they do so on multiple fronts. In the next part of this series, two more aspects of water control will be revealed as it becoming clear that the globalists, through the Environmental Protection Agency, are not just going to control water, but they are going to use the control of water to also control food production and private property ownership.

1	Noting how important it is for him to find a campaign that stirs genuine optimism and enthusiasm in its supporters, sources confirmed Tuesday that precious little voter Adam Higgins needs to feel inspired by a candidate. To be perfectly honest, I just cant bring myself to vote for someone Im not excited about, said the delicate little flower, who simply has to experience an authentic and personal connection to a candidate and believe in his wittle-bitty heart that the candidates message will legitimately move the country forward in meaningful and significant ways. Policies and experience are certainly important, but a candidate has to have a vision I truly believe in. Im only going to cast a ballot for someone who actually provides real hope for the future of this country [because I need to feel all snuggly-wuggly and special]. Sources further confirmed the fragile, dainty buttercup feels he absolutely must vote for someone who is trustworthy and competent. 
3	Rise Of The Droids: Will Robots Eventually Steal All Of Our Jobs?Michael Snyder, Contributor In the past, I have written extensively about how millions of American jobs have been sent to the other side of the world, but now we may be moving into a time when workers all over the planet will be steadily losing jobs to super-efficient robots. For employers, robots provide a lot of advantages to human workers. Robots never complain, they never get tired, they never need vacation, they never show up late, they never waste time of Facebook, they dont need any health benefits and there are a whole lot of rules, regulations and taxes that you must deal with when you hire a human worker. In the past, robots were exceedingly expensive, and that limited their usefulness in the workplace, but as you will see later in this article that is rapidly changing. As robots continue to become even more advanced and even less expensive, will there eventually come a point where the human worker is virtually obsolete? Of course I can hear the objections already. Many of you will insist that even though automation has always eliminated jobs in the past, it has also always created new jobs that were even better. For instance, once upon a time most of the U.S. population worked on farms, but thanks to automation now hardly any of us do. But what happens when we get to the point where super-intelligent robots are more efficient at everything? What will be left for human workers to do? And a lot of the jobs that are disappearing thanks to advances in technology are fairly high paying jobs. In fact, one recent study of employment data from 20 countries discovered that almost all the jobs disappearing are in industries that pay middle-class wages, ranging from $38,000 to $68,000. But that advantage is disappearing right in front of our eyes. For example, one company has produced a new robot called Baxter that only costs $22,000. The following is from an article about Baxter in the MIT Technology Review Baxter was conceived by Rodney Brooks, the Australian roboticist and artificial-intelligence expert who left MIT to build a $22,000 humanoid robot that can easily be programmed to do simple jobs that have never been automated before. Eventually, the goal is to produce versions of Baxter that will perform tasks even more cheaply than Chinese workers do Brookss company, Rethink Robotics, says the robot will spark a renaissance in American manufacturing by helping small companies compete against low-wage offshore labor. Baxter will do that by accelerating a trend of factory efficiency thats eliminated more jobs in the U.S. than overseas competition has. Of the approximately 5.8 million manufacturing jobs the U.S. lost between 2000 and 2010, according to McKinsey Global Institute, two-thirds were lost because of higher productivity and only 20 percent moved to places like China, Mexico, or Thailand. The ultimate goal is for robots like Baxter to take over more complex tasks, such as fitting together parts on an electronics assembly line. A couple more ticks of Moores Law and youve got automation that works more cheaply than Chinese labor does, Andrew McAfee, an MIT researcher, predicted last year at a conference in Tucson, Arizona, where Baxter was discussed. So it wont just be American workers that will be displaced by robots it will literally be workers all over the planet. In the future, when you call someone for customer service you probably wont be talking to someone in India. Instead, you will probably be talking to a robot. In fact, this transition is already starting to happen IPsoft is a young company started by Chetan Dube, a former mathematics professor at New York University. He reckons that artificial intelligence can take over most of the routine information-technology and business-process tasks currently performed by workers in offshore locations. The last decade was about replacing labour with cheaper labour, says Mr Dube. The coming decade will be about replacing cheaper labour with autonomics. IPsofts Eliza, a virtual service-desk employee that learns on the job and can reply to e-mail, answer phone calls and hold conversations, is being tested by several multinationals. At one American media giant she is answering 62,000 calls a month from the firms information-technology staff. She is able to solve two out of three of the problems without human help. At IPsofts media-industry customer Eliza has replaced Indias Tata Consulting Services. Even some of the largest companies in China are starting to make the transition from human workers to robots. The following is from a recent TechCrunch article Foxconn has been planning to buy 1 million robots to replace human workers and it looks like that change, albeit gradual, is about to start. The company is allegedly paying $25,000 per robot about three times a workers average salary and they will replace humans in assembly tasks. The plans have been in place for a while I spoke to Foxconn reps about this a year ago and it makes perfect sense. Humans are messy, they want more money, and having a half-a-million of them in one factory is a recipe for unrest. But what happens after the halls are clear of careful young men and women and instead full of whirring robots? So what will the world look like as robots begin to replace humans in just about every industry that you can imagine? A recent Wired article described what this transition might look like First, machines will consolidate their gains in already-automated industries. After robots finish replacing assembly line workers, they will replace the workers in warehouses. Speedy bots able to lift 150 pounds all day long will retrieve boxes, sort them, and load them onto trucks. Fruit and vegetable picking will continue to be robotized until no humans pick outside of specialty farms. Pharmacies will feature a single pill-dispensing robot in the back while the pharmacists focus on patient consulting. Next, the more dexterous chores of cleaning in offices and schools will be taken over by late-night robots, starting with easy-to-do floors and windows and eventually getting to toilets. The highway legs of long-haul trucking routes will be driven by robots embedded in truck cabs. All the while, robots will continue their migration into white-collar work. We already have artificial intelligence in many of our machines; we just dont call it that. Witness one piece of software by Narrative Science (profiled in issue 20.05) that can write newspaper stories about sports games directly from the games stats or generate a synopsis of a companys stock performance each day from bits of text around the web. Any job dealing with reams of paperwork will be taken over by bots, including much of medicine. Even those areas of medicine not defined by paperwork, such as surgery, are becoming increasingly robotic. The rote tasks of any information-intensive job can be automated. It doesnt matter if you are a doctor, lawyer, architect, reporter, or even programmer: The robot takeover will be epic. I dont know about you, but the phrase robot takeover is not exactly comforting. Perhaps I just watch too many movies. In any event, as technology advances there will eventually be very few jobs that robots cannot perform. In fact, you might be surprised to learn some of the things that robots are already doing. The following is from a recent Yahoo News article Google and Toyota are rolling out cars that can drive themselves. The Pentagon deploys robots to find roadside explosives in Afghanistan and wages war from the air with drone aircraft. North Carolina State University this month introduced a high-tech library where robots bookBots retrieve books when students request them, instead of humans. The librarys 1.5 million books are no longer displayed on shelves; theyre kept in 18,000 metal bins that require one-ninth the space. So what will the3.1 million Americans that drive trucks do for a living once robots are driving all of our trucks? What will the 573,000 Americans that drive buses do for a living once robots are driving all of our buses? And eventually even our skies may be filled with robotic drones that are busy performing one task or another. Just check out what a recent Time Magazine article had to say about the emerging drone industry But the drone industry is ramping up for a big landgrab the moment the regulatory environment starts to relax. At last years Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) trade show in Las Vegas, more than 500 companies pitched drones for filming crowds and tornados and surveying agricultural fields, power lines, coalfields, construction sites, gas spills and archaeological digs. A Palo Alto, Calif., start-up called Matternet wants to establish a network of drones that will transport small, urgent packages, like those for medicine. In other countries civilian drone populations are already booming. Aerial video is a major application. A U.K. company called Skypower makes the eight-rotored Cinipro drone, which can carry a cinema-quality movie camera. In Costa Rica theyre used to study volcanoes. In Japan drones dust crops and track schools of tuna; emergency workers used one to survey the damage at Fukushima. A nature preserve in Kenya ran a crowdsourced fundraising drive to buy drones to watch over the last few northern white rhinos. Ironically, while the U.S. has been the leader in sending drones overseas, its lagging behind when it comes to deploying them on its own turf. Unfortunately, many people will not understand what I am really trying to get at in this article. Even if that is true, they wont need hundreds of millions of us to build them. No, the truth is that when human workers become obsolete, those that dominate society with technology will look at the rest of us as useless eaters that are not contributing anything to society at all. Already, there are many economists that are warning that advancements in technology are steadily reducing the natural employment rate. And we are already seeing this happen in the United States. As I wrote about the other day, the percentage of the labor force that is employed has declined every single year since 2006 2006: 63.1 In January, only 57.9 percent of the civilian labor force was employed. Of course there are certainly a lot of factors involved in why those numbers are declining, but without a doubt technology is playing a role. So what do we do with all of the workers that are being displaced? Are we just going to put everybody on food stamps? Will the gap between the rich and the poor grow even larger than it is today? Will most people eventually become dependent on the government in order to survive? We are moving into uncharted territory, and nobody is quite sure what comes next. As time goes by, robots will even start to look more like us. In fact, this is already starting to happen. Just check out the following description of a bionic man that has been created from a recent article in the Guardian He cuts a dashing figure, this gentleman: nearly seven feet tall, and possessed of a pair of striking brown eyes. With a fondness for Ralph Lauren, middle-class rap and sharing a drink with friends, Rex is, in many ways, an unexceptional chap. Except that he is, in fact, a real-world bionic man. Housed within a frame of state-of-the-art prosthetic limbs is a functional heart-lung system, complete with artificial blood pumping through a network of pulsating modified-polymer arteries. He has a bionic spleen to clean the blood, and an artificial pancreas to keep his blood sugar on the level. Behind the deep brown irises are a pair of retinal implants, giving him a vista of the crowds of curious humans who meet his gaze. He even has a degree of artificial intelligence: talk to him, and hell listen (through his cochlear implants), before using a speech generator to respond. As robots become more like us, will we eventually become more like them? Will we be told that we must merge with the machines in order to keep up and be useful in society? What will happen to those of us that refuse to merge with the machines and that refuse to enhance ourselves with technology? Will we be outcasts? Those are some important questions.

2	Tomi Lauren Voices Her Thoughts On Beyonces Performance [VIDEO] Mega-star Beyonce has been a major source of controversy following her racially-charged Super Bowl 50 half time performance. Leaders throughout the country have criticized her for the blatant disrespect toward American law enforcement, and for using a wholesome family event as the platform for her hyper-sexualized message. Among those to criticize Beyonce was Tomi Lahren, popular host of The Blaze. Watch Lahrens full rant below and tell us what you think. Do you agree that Beyonces performance was completely inappropriate? 
1	Announcing his decision to remain in the New York City mayoral race, a man whose self-taken cell phone photographs of his penis have been widely circulated and viewed by millions of Americans was reportedly not the most humiliated person standing behind the podium at a press conference yesterday, sources confirmed. These things that I did were wrong and hurtful, said the man who, despite referring to himself online as Carlos Danger and repeatedly sharing images of his genitals on social media sites, was somehow not the most embarrassed person standing within three feet of the bank of microphones and dozens of reporters. I want to again say that I am very sorry to anyone who was on the receiving end of these messages and the disruption that this has caused. Now its time to move forward. At press time, the individual whose name is now little more than a punch line remained the least ashamed person in his house. 
2	Once You See What This National Chain Supports, Youll Never Eat Here Again [VIDEO] According to recent reports, the CEO of Dunkin Donuts made the decision to announce that he believes in President Obamas proposed amnesty policy and actually supports it. In an interview with Fox Business, Nigel Travis stated that all of the illegal immigrants living in our country should be legalized in an effort to boost the economy. Travis went on to claim that it would bring about 11 million more people into the economy and would be a stimulus because theres a lot of people who want to work but cant work legally. As we know, this is not the case. The amnesty legislation would actually lower the wages of American workers. It would also have significant negative consequences on our economy. This announcement marks a change in direction for the chain, which participated in a government program to ensure the legality of all workers in 2007. What do you think? Should we boycott Dunkin Donuts? 
2	Youll Never Believe What Happens After Christian Pastor Destroys Radical Islamist Recently, Florida pastor Terry Jones returned to court to argue his right to carry a concealed firearm. Jones claims that he needs the weapon because of the death threats he has been receiving from radical Islamists, who have reportedly asked for his head on a platter. Jones first became famous in 2010 when he announced that he would burn 200 copies of the Koran on the anniversary of 9/11. In the following years, he continued to make similar comments, and in 2013 he said he would burn nearly 3,000 copies of the book to honor victims of the attack. He never followed through on his last promise, however, because he was released shortly thereafter for carrying a concealed firearm and transporting fuel. While the latter was dropped, he still faces charges for gun possession. Still, Jones appeared unafraid at his court appearance, wearing a Nuke ISIS t-shirt. Im definitely surprised; they have absolutely no evidence, Jones told a reporter of the case. The judge reviewed it; the judge threw it out. They knew they didnt have any kind of chance from the very beginning. And they are just continuing to drag it out. According to Jones, if the state wins their case, he will lose his right to bear arms forever.

3	Girlfriend Staves Off and Shoots at Weapon-Wielding Home InvadersBy Amanda Warren Along with that responsible mindset, what better way is there to be empowered then by being able to protect your home with a firearm especially against armed robbers who are ready to take you down? Thats what a South African woman did on May 12th when she was forced to come out with handgun blazin or risk being victimized and quite potentially killed by one of several armed invaders. We cant speak on behalf of the following couple, but here in the U.S., law enforcements job is to get there, not be there. If the couple had tried to alert the police instead of the girlfriend taking quick responsibility, they might both be dead or at the very least robbed blind. The boyfriend, who can be seen sleeping (albeit with his own handgun ready) said: My girlfriend asked the guy to identify himself she shouted Craven? this all happened off camera as there is no sound, it is pointless to show this the field of view to the left is quite a bit. The guy then moved towards her this is also off camera as the doorway is on quite a large landing. Unfortunately, the two shots only scared them away with her handbag full of cash and cards. They have not been apprehended, but no doubt, the girl with the handgun saved the day. What you would you have done? Some people are saying it looks staged (we hope not!), here are some news sources: Recently fromAmanda Warren: 
1	Notre Dame linebacker Manti Teo admitted Thursday that he was one of several people duped by an elaborate hoax involving the death of his nonexistent girlfriend in a revealing interview with a scarecrow dressed as Katie Couric. It wasnt just mea lot of people got tricked, said Teo, who reportedly reached for the scarecrows straw hand and gazed longingly into the eyes drawn on the burlap sack face. You know, Katie, your beautiful face reminds me a lot of Lennays. You make me so comfortable, I feel like Ive known you forever. I love how youre always smiling. At press time, sources confirmed that a panicked Teo was frantically attempting to resuscitate the unresponsive Katie Couric scarecrow. 
2	No One Noticed What Hillary Did Right Before The Debate... Watch Very Closely On Wednesday, the third presidential debate took place in Las Vegas. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton made headlines when she arrived at the venue. Questions were raised when reporters spotted her arriving with someone very suspicious. When Hillary exited her vehicle at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, she was accompanied by the same nurse who was with her when she collapsed leaving the 9/11 memorial last month. The woman reportedly walked behind Hillary as she entered the venue. She was confirmed to be the same nurse who was spotted performing neurological tests on Hillary moments before the infamous collapse. The nurses presence at the debate suggested to many that Hillarys health continues to be on edge. Apparently, her team was nervous she could suffer yet another medical scare. What do you think? Are you tired of Hillary Clinton lying to the American public? 
2	He Was Out Hunting When He Saw THIS, You Wont Believe What He Caught On Camera [VIDEO] According to recent reports, a tourist in North Carolina has just claimed that he caught Big Foot on camera. He reportedly got the footage while he was walking with his dog. Eric Walters was walking Zippy, his brown Yorkshire Terrier last week when he claims that they saw Big Foot walking in some bushes alongside the road. Either theres a Sasquatch out there, or someone is trying to play a practical joke, Walters thought to himself. The footage reportedly shows Big Foot walking near the pair when Zippy starts barking. Walters now claims that his little dog saved his life. Zippy could tell I was scared and got so riled up that he got loose and went after it, he said. It turns out the brave little guy chased the Sasquatch away and saved me from a possible encounter. I love him more than ever. What do you think of Walters story? 
1	A survey of the nations Alzheimers patients conducted Sunday by Public Policy Polling indicates that Lyndon Johnson now holds a comfortable 8-point lead in the 2012 presidential race, having pulled ahead of candidates Hubert Humphrey, Adlai Stevenson, Mitt Romney, and Gen. George S. Patton. Im voting for Lyndon Johnson this year, said poll respondent Marjorie Halter, adding that she cast a ballot for Gregory Peck in the last election, and that she intends to vote for the Democratic ticket again this November. I think Johnson and [Halters son] Doug will make a really strong team. According to the poll, a full 14 percent of Alzheimers patients are still undecided, and could very well end up voting for former Olympic gymnast Dominique Moceanu if she does well in Tuesdays debate. 
1	Greg Ogletree: The Man Inside The Mars Rover NASA employee Greg Ogletree, the man seated inside the Mars rover Curiosity, inspired the nation this year when he successfully touched down on the Red Planet and began driving the vehicle across its surface. In addition to Ogletrees primary task of guiding the rover around Mars using its steering wheel, pedals, and gear stick, the 44-year-old is also charged with verbally describing the Martian landscape to mission control, keeping an eye out for water, and tasting soil samples. Rape 2012 was a banner year for forcible sexual intercourse, as the political, entertainment, and even sports worlds became swept up in the nationwide rape craze. From raping women, to raping young boys, to rape jokes, to rapes resulting in pregnancies, to inflammatory public remarks concerning rape, America simply couldnt get its fill of brutal sexual defilement this year. And with unwanted violations still hot on the lips of the nations top lawmakers, rape doesnt appear to be going anywhere anytime soon. The Antichrist Athens, GA resident Scott Jorgenson, the Antichrist, had a particularly noteworthy 2012, purchasing a new condominium in March, finally moving in with his girlfriend, Trish, and remaining intent on provoking the downfall of all humanity. The very incarnation of evil itself, the 32-year-old website designer and spawn of Lucifer also earned a sizable raise at work and, in addition to seeking to undo all that is good and pure in the heart of mankind and retiling his master bathroom all by himself, helped his office bowling team to a league title. The Minority Or Whatever 2012 was a landmark year for the minority or whatever, who made their voices heard like never before and blah, blah, blah. Many minority groups, including African-Americans, Hispanics, women, same-sex couples, and whoever else took on a more prominent role in the nations political discourse, or something along those lines. They also made great strides for better pay and equal employment opportunities, making the case that they deserve to be treated as valuable members of society and whatever other bullshit they were whining about all year. Assault Rifle From Africa and the Middle East to the shopping mall and movie theater right down the road, the assault rifle seemed to be everywhere in 2012. The international and domestic megastar was simply unable to stay out of headlines this year, as the young, the religiously obsessed, and the mentally unstable couldnt get enough of the fully automatic weapon. With the guns popularity only on the rise, 2013 is poised to be an even bigger year for the high-powered military-grade rifle, so keep an eye out for it. The Internet Commenter Internet commenter Nick Mayfield, 32, enjoyed a breakout year in 2012, posting on such sites as Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, The Huffington Post, and Buzzfeed. Expressing his views on politics, music, movies, celebrities, sports, general pop culture, and the opinions of other Internet commenters, Mayfield initially burst onto the scene in mid-February after calling a fellow YouTube user a fukin faggot for posting a low-resolution trailer for The Avengers. Ronald Trump It was another notable year for 68-year-old Ronald Trump, the older brother of real estate mogul and multimillionaire Donald Trump. The small business owner reported modest profits from his local pizzeria Ronalds in Newark, NJ, and although he had to be put on medication for high blood pressure in March, hes doing just fine now.

1	Actress Anne Hathaway admitted to reporters Thursday that she feels the same baseless hatred for a Massachusetts woman that the woman feels toward her. 'You can tell Cathy Lerro's totally in love with herself, even though she's really just fucking annoying,' Hathaway said in reference to the 36-year-old Sudbury resident, who the Devil Wears Prada star grudgingly acknowledged was decent that one time as an office manager but hasn't done anything nearly that good since. 'Ugh. Just hearing her name makes me kind of ill. And that voice.' When questioned further by reporters, Hathaway vehemently denied her hatred for Lerro was motivated by jealousy. 
1	Eager to distinguish himself in the nine-member field of Democratic candidates, presidential hopeful Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) pledged Monday to 'gloss over any and all issues boring to Americans today.' Lieberman tells Hartford voters he'll be brief. 'Are you sick of politics as usual in Washington?' Lieberman said at a campaign fundraiser held at the downtown Hartford Hilton. 'Are you sick of politics in general? Well, I can see why. Politics, frankly, is boring. In this campaign, I promise to slide past the tedious issues and get to the point: I want to be your next president! Vote Joe in 2004!' 'Endless details, mathematical proposals, and tax plans,' Lieberman continued. 'Why should the nation as a whole have to tolerate all that?' Lieberman, among the most politically moderate of the Democratic hopefuls, first delivered this new stump speech in New York on Oct. 3. On that day, he promised a group of factory workers in Buffalo that all future speeches would focus on his ultimate goals instead of on the intricate workings of his actual proposals. 'Americans are very busy, and I won't bore them with the details of my positions,' Lieberman said. 'I think George W. Bush is doing a terrible job as America's chief executive, both at home and abroad. I'd do much better. I'd keep America safe. It's all very complicated when you get into it, so I'll spare you the boring legislation-this and appropriations-that. All you need to know is that I'm on it.' To growing applause, Lieberman quickly ran through a list of issues important to voters. 'The economy? I'll make it better,' he said. 'Reconstruction of Iraq? No problem. International relations? I'll patch those up in my first 100 days. Poverty? I got a plan.' 'World trade? Women's rights? Education? Yes, yes, and yes,' said Lieberman, who spent the next 45 minutes discussing the Red Sox. Reached by phone at his office Tuesday, Lieberman re-emphasized his commitment to instituting change, rather than talking about the mechanics of instituting change. 'This great nation needs a leader who's willing to roll up his sleeves,' he said. 'Exactly what I'm going to do, and how I'm going to do itack, forget about it. Unlike some of my opponents, I solemnly pledge not to annoy you with endless status reports in the process.' This new message marks a change for Lieberman, who relied on hard-to-understand, fact-riddled positions during his unsuccessful bid for the vice-presidency in 2000. 'I'm the same Joe Lieberman I've always been, just a little easier to tolerate in long stretches,' Lieberman said. 'I haven't changed on the issues, thoughjust look at my voting record. Actually, don't waste your time. Those things are really dense.' When pressed for more information, Lieberman sighed. 'Well, you asked for it,' Lieberman said. 'I'm pro-business, pro-national-security, and pro-health-care. I'm a bit more conservative than some of the other Democratic candidates in this race. But I'm a lot less boring. That's the last time you'll hear all of that.' A reporter asked Lieberman for his stance on Chinese currency valuation after Monday's speech. Lieberman shook his head. 'Listen, I know that the renminbi has been pegged within a narrow band around 8.3 to the U.S. dollar for nearly a decade, and that China refuses to revalue it despite increasing international pressure,' he said. 'But everyone else in the country doesn't need to know that. If there's a problem, I'll do everything in my power to fix it. Now, back to the real issue: I can and will skip right past the whoozits and whatsits. Not just during the election, but throughout my entire term as president.' While he acknowledged that some critics see Lieberman's pledge as simplistic, campaign director Craig Smith said it demonstrates the senator's understanding of the average voter. Lieberman's web site is only one page long. It features a short bullet-point list of his stance on issuespro-business, pro-national-security, and pro-health-careand two helpful charts of 'Joe's Likes' and 'Joe's Dislikes.' Many voters have responded positively to Lieberman's campaign promise. 'I liked his speech. It was nice and short,' said Carol Meadows, 45, of Lancaster, PA. 'He said he'd fix everything that's wrong, and then the music started playing again.' Some critics have dismissed Lieberman's concise message as a vote-grabbing ploy, launched in response to the record-breaking fundraising of former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean and retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark. But Lieberman's press secretary, Jano Cabrera, insisted that the senator's campaign strategy was intended to benefit the public, not the campaign. 'Let me ask you this: Would the average American rather read the Financial Times or People?' Cabrera said. 'Joe Lieberman is finally giving the people what they want, while other candidates just go on and on and on and on.' 'It's like, next campaign stop: Yawnsville,' said Cabrera, who then pretended to fall asleep standing up. 'Wake me up when Howard Dean's done talking.' 
2	BREAKING: Kaepernick To Move To Cuba If This One Thing Happens This has been a disheartening year for football fans, who have had to watch San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick disrespect the American flagover and over and over. Though some can agree with his sentiments, many law-abiding Americans are furious with the method Kaepernick chose to express his anger. Some have even insisted that if Kaepernick despises our country so much, he should just leave. Now, that appears to be an option the football player is considering on his own. When asked about his controversial comments on the death of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, Kaepernick replied, As a matter of fact, when I retire, Im going to move to Cuba permanently if Donald Trump is still president at the time. Theres just no point in trying to explain to yall that what youre doing is wrong and that what Donald Trump is doing is also very wrong, he continued. So, I give up. If the United States is still under a dictator by the time Im finished with my professional career, Im permanently relocating to Cuba. What do you think of Kaepernicks comments? Should he just get a head start and leave now?

2	US School Hosting Special Day To Promote Shariah Law According to recent reports, one student at a California prep school is hosting a special day on campus to address Islamophobia and discuss NP3 Hijab Day. The student received full support from the principal of the school and backing from the Council on Islamic-American Relations (CAIR) after giving a presentation on the topic to administration. The Muslim Students Association, which has clear links to the Muslim Brotherhood, has also put their support behind the event. Of course, not all community members are pleased about the event. One concerned community member emailed the principal and outlined her concerns that the event promoted Shariah law and the suppression of womens rights. Unfortunately, she only received a response from the student in charge of the event. I invited a speaker to talk to faculty about addressing Islamophobia in the classroom and the challenges in the Muslim world, the student responded. And they appreciated the open and frank discussion. What do you think of NP3 Hijab Day? Would you allow your children to attend? 
2	BREAKING: Illegal Immigrants Abusing Welfare In Texas Just Got Some Very Bad News According to a recent announcement, the Texas state government just advanced a bill designed to repeal the states DREAM Act. The action means that illegal immigrants will no longer receive in-state tuition for higher education. As it stands, under the DREAM Act, any illegal immigrant who has a diploma from a Texas high school and has been a resident of the state for three years will receive the same tuition benefits as full citizens. Texas marks the first state to move forward with an action of this kind, and Texas Governor Greg Abbot has already shown his support by claiming that he will not veto the bill if it makes it to his desk. By contrast, Governor Rick Perry was in favor of the DREAM Act. The controversial new bill has brought forward various strong positions and outcries from immigrants as well as liberal activist groups. Hundreds stood to protest the bill on the day of the initial vote. Texas first passed the DREAM Act in 2001, and was followed by 16 other states. Texas and Wisconsin are the only two states that have made moves to repeal the act so far. What do you think? Do you support eliminating the Act?

You Will Be Furious [VIDEO] According to recent reports, police in Long Beach are searching for a man who committed what is being called a hate crime against a Muslim woman. The incident happened in the afternoon outside of a local Trader Joes. Reports indicate that the man approached the woman from behind while she was loading groceries into her car. The suspect then proceeded to grab a hold of the womans hijab and rip it off of her. The woman reports that he cursed at her and then fled the scene. Police are now investigating the incident and are searching for the man in question. They have released a sketch of the suspect, and intend to press charges for a hate crime against him if found. 
1	Visibly anxious after bringing his longtime girlfriend to local pub The Bier Baron, area man Noel Johnson reportedly got down on one knee Friday and finally mustered the courage to ask Amanda Spaid whether she was willing to settle for him. Amanda, will you disregard the vision of an ideal husband youve been building up in your mind since you were a little girl and marry, for whatever reason, me? Johnson reportedly asked as he produced the only ring he was able to afford on his meager salary as a computer salesman, a job that would likely prevent Spaid from being able to enjoy a level of material comfort that she could have easily attained with one of millions of other potential mates. Realistically, just based on my mediocre personality, genetic shortcomings, and substandard romantic and sexual abilities, Im not going to make you the happiest woman in the world. But I guess what Im asking is: Will you spend the rest of your life with me, a guy who, at this point in time, is probably your most sensible option? Spaid went on to express surprise upon realizing Johnson was willing to throw away all of his freedom and independence for, of all people, her.

1	Players on Team USA, along with MLB owners and managers, rejoiced Thursday night following their final game of the World Baseball Classic, a 2-1 loss to Mexico, as the Americans came out of the tournament safe, sound, and in one piece. 'There is an amazing sense of accomplishment among these healthy, injury-free players. Wearing this uniform, and not getting hurt while inside of it, will be something these players are going to remember for the rest of the regular season,' said Team USA manager Buck Martinez while helping each player navigate an awkward step up into the clubhouse. 'We didn't emerge victorious, but we did emerge completely unscathed. I say we are the real winners here.' Following their elimination from harm's way, Martinez joined his 30 healthy players in a cautious locker-room celebration, during which they gingerly spritzed shatterproof plastic bottles of champagne on each other. 
3	Major Victory for Free Speech in Landmark SettlementBy Claire Bernish In a statement, PCJF Executive Director Mara Verheyden-Hilliard said, If you have ever attended a demonstration where police encircled the crowd, preventing movement into or out of the area for any reason sometimes for hours at a time often in order to perform massive and indiscriminate arrests, then you have been kettled. On September 27, 2002, demonstrators gathered in Pershing Park in Washington DC during meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. US Park Police coordinated with DC Metropolitan Police to cordon off the park, refused access in or out, then arrested everyone who happened to be trapped inside, including 649 protesters, bystanders, journalists, legal observers, and even tourists 400 of whom were represented in the class action suit. According to the PCJF statement, Many were held bound wrist to ankle in stress-and-duress positions on a police gym floor for upwards of 24 hours. Though not a monetarily significant settlement, just $2.2 million, the resulting reforms to procedural policy regarding protest are vital considering the ever-widening activist and awareness movement. Police are no longer allowed to generally cordon off a demonstration, must give fair notice to disperse through a minimum of three clearly audible warnings at least two minutes apart, must indicate avenues of exit for complying with that dispersal order, and may not affect sweeping arrests.Instead, cops must provide detailed probable cause before any legal arrest can be made and all of these policies must include inter-jurisdictional cooperation. In other words, this is huge. The US Attorneys Office signed a memorandum with PCJF calling the new procedural policies, a model of best practices for law enforcement which will serve future generations, and could easily be transferred for use around the country. Carl Messineo, PCJF Legal Director, explained the significance in a statement: Previous litigation declared all arrests null and void with orders for the FBI to fully expunge arrestees records from all criminal databases and awarded $8.25 million in compensation. A side note on this case offers striking insight: This egregious violation of constitutional rights and mass illegal arrests was orchestrated by DC MPD Chief Charles H Ramsey who had the command at the scene and who now works on President Obamas Task Force on 21st Century Policing.

3	One Charge Dropped Against Minnesota Mom Who Gave Son Cannabis OilBy KSTP 
1	Following a guided tour of the excavated ruins beneath St. Peters Basilica on Tuesday, several stunned members of a Vatican sightseeing group told reporters they had glimpsed a gaunt and haggard Joseph Ratzinger as he scuttled past them in the dark corridors of the subterranean burial site. As they approached the deepest recesses of the Vatican Necropolis, the tourists said they were startled by a shadowy form that emerged briefly from a hidden alcove, let out a screech, and shielded its eyes from the light before scrambling out of sight. Church sources later stated that the sickly, rail-thin figure was likely the former Pope Benedict XVI, who has been periodically spotted skulking around the underground tombs over the past two years. Earlier in the tour, I thought Id heard a faint murmuring noise and something skittering about, but I figured it was just my imagination, said tour member Reuben Chapman, adding that the groups guide had assured them it was nothing but appeared nervous nonetheless. As we reached the tomb of St. Peter, though, I saw these two beady eyes peering out of the darkness from beneath a dirty, tattered mitre. Then whatever it was bared its teeth at us and hissed. It was horribleIll never forget how weak and terrified that thing looked, all hunched-over in the shadows, Chapman continued. Not to mention its absolutely foul smell. Members of the tour group described Ratzinger as having a sunken chest, hairless body, and thin, almost translucent skin revealing a vast patchwork of veins underneath. After His Holiness fled, the tourists reportedly came across a nest made from filthy scraps of old papal vestments and Apostolic Palace tapestries in the corner of a mausoleum, which they said had been heavily soiled. Strewn about nearby were the remnants of a red leather shoe; a small pile of shiny objects, including crosses, several past pontiffs Piscatory Rings, gum wrappers, and various keys; as well as a number of heavily gnawed-on bones from a smashed reliquary box. When reached for comment, Vatican officials confirmed that sightings of a feral Ratzinger lurking in hidden corners of the holy city date back to March 2013, shortly after the inauguration of Pope Francis. Around that time, according to reports, the Swiss Guard pursued the one-time Vicar of Christ after he was caught trying to steal a crucifix-topped staff and other items of papal regalia belonging to his successor, though they were said to have quickly lost his trail when the pale, shriveled figure retreated down a narrow drainpipe. The 88-year-old reformist theologian is believed to have kept mainly to the Necropolis since that time, though his contorted frame is said to be periodically spotted in the early morning hours hiding in the shadows of the colonnades in St. Peters Square, where he reportedly hunts for the rats and pigeons upon which he subsists. Last month, Cardinal [Gerhard Ludwig] Mller and Cardinal [Robert] Sarah found the pope emeritus crouching on the baptismal font in the Sistine Chapel lapping up holy water, and they had to chase him off with a broom, said Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi, who noted that the filth-caked Ratzinger had appeared crazed with thirst, raising serious concerns for his health among the curia. We want to help the poor guy, we really do, but every time anyone gets close to him he just starts clawing at them with his overgrown fingernails and then scurries down into the crypts. Weve made efforts to bring him in, but hes always one step ahead of us, Lombardi added. He knows those tunnels better than anyone. Congregants visiting the basilica have provided additional accounts of the emaciated former pontiff. A woman who was lighting a candle for a deceased relative said she saw a shivering Ratzinger attempting to warm himself by huddling close to votives in the Chapel of St. Helen last February. In addition, several altar boys have reportedly seen him in the sacristy devouring communion wafers by the boxful. And just this past Christmas, a group of nuns found him clinging beneath a pew during midnight Mass, after which he is said to have darted out the bronze doors and quickly scaled a travertine column to the basilica roof. Moreover, numerous sources said the secretive figure has proved a costly nuisance to the Holy See, noting that nearly every painting and photograph of Francis that had been hung around the Vatican had been found at some point or another with the eyes scratched out. If we cant catch him soon and relocate him to a suitable home, we may be forced to resort to less humane measures, Lombardi told reporters. Were still going to keep setting trays of sweets and highly conservative doctrinal bulletins beside the crypt entrance in hopes of luring him out of there, but we havent ruled out the possibility of just hiring an exterminator and fumigating the whole place. 
2	BREAKING: Military Tanks Show Up At Closed Down Walmarts Walmart continues to stay in headlines as Americans throughout the country debate the possible causes for five different store closures and the sudden layoff of 2,200 employees throughout the country. Walmart maintains that the stores had to be closed suddenly due to plumbing issues, but Americans throughout the country are not satisfied with this explanationespecially since the closures occurred in several different cities. Now, residents in Big Springs, Texas where one Walmart closed are claiming that they have seen helicopters flying in to the town. Some residents are even claiming that they have seen military tanks as well. I saw a train carrying all sorts of military equipment heading into Big Springs, said one resident. There were also about 14 helicopters flying over the airport last night and a tank getting driven through that open field. Its scary seeing that and not knowing what in the world is going on. The mysterious appearance of military equipment could support the theory that the Walmart stores were actually closed for Operation Jade Helm. Jade Helm is an exercise in which soldiers will operate undetected amongst civilian populations. Some believe it is the beginning of a plan for martial law. What do you think? Is Walmart keeping a big secret from their customers? 
3	The CIA Has A Secret Pact with Pakistan to Bomb Their Country?selfnews Post On the surface,Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has met with Obama to condemn the drone program; however, according to a new Washington Post report detailed in the video below, the CIA has long been cataloging and communicating their strikes inside Pakistan with Pakistani officials perhaps as early as 2007. Citizens of the world continue to show outrage over the expanding drone program which has provably killed many more innocent people than killing terrorists. This latest information is merely additional evidence that governments and intelligence agencies are consistently willing to ignore their own sovereignty and their own people in favor of the globalist agenda of the military-industrial complex. Please also viewthis videofor an idea of what life is really like living under drones. Or seeObama joke about drone killingshere. Full transcript and research links posted below by Christina Hartman Pakistani officials have been publicly denouncing the U.S. drone program for a while now. Publicly. But The Washington Posts Greg Miller and Bob Woodward got a hold of CIA documents and Pakistani diplomatic memos that suggest privately the Pakistani government was in agreement with the program. That Pakistans government has not only been aware of, but also tacitly approved the U.S. program of targeted killing is something analysts have suspected for a while now. In fact, as far back as 2010, the BBC reported on documents released by WikiLeaks that suggested arms of the Pakistani government quietly acquiesced to drone strikes despite their public protests. But fast forward to today and contrast The Washington Posts reporting of an explicit secret agreement and evidence of a direct role in picking the targets of the strikes to public comments like this from Pakistani government officials. Heres Pakistans Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday: NAWAZ: I also brought up the issue of drones in our meeting, emphasizing the need for an end to such strikes. (Via Euronews) According to The Posts reporting, CIA documents detailing strikes included maps and before-and-after aerial pictures of targeted compounds. And the report suggests those documents were prepared specifically for presentation to the Pakistani government. Some CIA documents even explicitly reference strikes quote at the request of your government in reference to the Pakistani government. Still all that doesnt necessarily mean friction between the two governments over the program wasnt at least at times genuine. And the U.S. drone program remains controversial in many other corners, including Amnesty International, which earlier this week suggested some strikes could constitute war crimes.

3	Vaccines: The New Government Attack on Pregnant WomenBy Jon Rappoport But in this case, were talking about pregnant women. Protection, protection, protectionthats the cover the government keeps pushing. Meanwhile, the vaccines theyre foisting on pregnant women have a track record of damage. Barbara Loe Fisher, head of the National Vaccine Information Center, has the story, so Ill let her tell it. These are excerpts from her testimony before the Nov. 13, 2015 meeting of the FDA Vaccines Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) on proposed changes to FDA requirements for licensure of vaccines intended for use during pregnancy: Fisher (FDA Prepares to Fast Track New Vaccines Targeting Pregnant Women, 11/17/2016): In 2006, CDC officials directed doctors to give all pregnant women a flu shot and, in 2011, a Tdap shot during every pregnancy, no matter how little time has elapsed between pregnancies. Prior to FDA licensure, influenza, diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccines [Tdap and flu shots] were not tested in or proven safe and effective for pregnant women in large clinical trials when given during every pregnancy either singly or simultaneously. Categorized by FDA as Pregnancy Category B and C biologicals because it is not known whether the vaccines are genotoxic and can cause fetal harm or can affect maternal fertility and reproduction, administering influenza and Tdap vaccines to pregnant women is an off-label use of these vaccines. It is a policy that assumes maternal vaccination is necessary, safe and effective without proving it. pertussis containing vaccine [Tdap] injuries and deaths are the most compensated claim in the federal vaccine injury compensation program (VICP) for infants and children, while influenza vaccine-related injuries and deaths are the most compensated claim for adults. And yet, in the absence of credible biological mechanism and epidemiologic evidence pre-licensure proving these vaccines are safe for all pregnant women, their fetuses and newborns, female health care workers are being fired for refusing to be injected with them while they are pregnant. The National Vaccine Information Center is opposed to FDA retroactively licensing influenza and Tdap vaccines for use in pregnant women and fast tracking RSV [respiratory syncytial virus] and group strep B vaccines to licensure No evidence of safety, but so what? Reports of injuries and deaths, but so what? Pregnant women are a lucrative market, and thats all that counts. Need a terrific target for further disabling the population? Pregnant women are ideal. The FDA and its army of allies will assure you that these untested and off-label uses for vaccines are perfectly safe, because all vaccines are safe. The FDA speaks for the pharmaceutical industry. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow. It might be tempting to say the FDA is careless, is overlooking important factorsbut its much, much worse than that. Here are excerpts from a 2012 piece of mine about an FDA drug reviewer, and what happened to him when he went against the grain, and opposed his bosses on judgments about what was safe medicine and what was dangerous medicine: In a stunning interview with Truthouts Martha Rosenberg, former FDA drug reviewer, Ronald Kavanagh, exposes the FDA as a relentless criminal mafia protecting its client, Big Pharma, with a host of mob strategies (Former FDA Reviewer Speaks Out About Intimidation, Retaliation and Marginalizing of Safety, 7/29/2012). Kavanagh: widespread [FDA] racketeering, including witness tampering and witness retaliation. I was threatened with prison. One [FDA] manager threatened my childrenI was afraid that I could be killed for talking to Congress and criminal investigators. Kavanagh reviewed new drug applications made to the FDA by pharmaceutical companies. He was one of the holdouts at the Agency who insisted that the drugs had to be safe and effective before being released to the public. But honest appraisal wasnt part of the FDA culture, and Kavanagh swam against the tide, until he realized his life and the lives of his children were on the line. What was his secret task at the FDA? Drug reviewers were clearly told not to question drug companies and that our job was to approve drugs. In other words, rubber stamp them. Say the drugs were safe and effective when they were not. Kavanaghs revelations are stunning. He recalls a meeting where a drug-company representative flat-out stated that his company had paid the FDA for a new-drug approval. Paid for it. As in bribe. ***Kavanagh remarks that the drug pyridostigmine, given to US troops to prevent the later effects of nerve gas, actually increased the lethality of certain nerve agents. Kavanagh recalls being given records of safety data on a drugand then his bosses told him which sections not to read. Obviously, they knew the drug was dangerous and they knew exactly where, in the reports, that fact would be revealed. end of excerpt Women have to know what is waiting for them, in vials of vaccines, when they become pregnant. Waiting for them and their unborn children. Huxleys Brave New World portrayed a nation of docile citizens. But there, at least, the drug of choice was Soma, a compound that stimulated pleasure centers. Here, were talking about docility and obedience in the face of suffering, pain, neurological damage, and death. Doctors dont want to know about this. They dont want to know the true story about vaccines. If they did, theyd suddenly remember the body count theyve been responsible for. So instead, they polish their act, designed to invoke credibility and, above all, authority. Invent a mountaintop, stand on it, and sell, sell, sell. Thats their vaccine motto. Whats yours?

Are they in la la land? They should be held personally financially responsible for any and all negative side effects that might occur. Who in their right mind would inject a known Mercury neurotoxin flu shot that has 35,000 times the recommended EPA acceptable standard for an adult? And into a person who is trying to give birth to a healthy baby? What in the world are they thinking? How can that possibly be clear thinking. It is well past time for congress to repeal the zero liability responsibility given to drug manufacturers. If they dont do it they should be thrown out of office and replaced with someone who has a brain. Speaking of elections, anyone who is thinking of voting for Hillary might want to reconsider. She is 100% in favor of all vaccinations. Whats more she is in favor of letting the agriculture industry, led by the nose by Monsanto, to spray our food with a known carcinogen called glyphosate which can cause all kinds of birth defects and a lifetime of sickness for the baby. I just read that glyphosate in an amount as small as a few parts per million can dramatically increase the chance for breast cancer! And Hillary claims she is for women. Just another bold faced lie! Sanders is a-l-s-o for vaccines! Vaccination whilst pregnant? Are you totally mad? Are you totally stupid? Would it be OK if somebody raped you and your baby whilst pregnant? No! So why let them medically rape you and your baby? It works in Brazil! Vaccines for pregnant women in Brazil are mandatory! They cause microcephaly which is blamed on Zika virus known since the 1940. If microcephaly was caused by Zika then where are all the babies with small brains since 1940? There are none! Now they are trying to do the same here in the US, to scare ppl so they stop having children. Its depopulation tactics. Moms Bill reduce the worlds population by 15% with these vaccines Gates is not yer buddy. Vaccines are poison to the unborn..please ladies.dont allow it! 
2	BREAKING: ISIS Spotted Inside American Border... Trump Was Right According to an anonymous high-ranking source in the Department of Homeland Security, Mexican drug traffickers have been helping Islamic State group terrorists cross the border into the United States so they can stake out potential targets for a future terrorist attack. Judicial Watch broke the terrifying news this week, reporting that the source identified an especially dangerous terrorist named Shaykh Mahmood Omar Khabir as someone who frequently crosses the border with the assistance of drug traffickers. The 52-year-old militant was banned from his home country of Kuwait about 10 years ago because of his extremist positions. He is now believed to run a base near the US-Mexico border where he trains thousands of menmostly Syrians and Yemenisto fight. In the past, he was been quoted claiming that the border is so open he could get in with a handful of men, and kill thousands of people in Texas or Arizona in the space of a few hours. This gives merits to Trumps warnings about the danger of an unsecured border. If these reports are accurate, the United States could be facing an imminent attack. Do we need a president who sees these threats for what they are? 
2	How Can Obama Deny Mexican Border Problems When U.S. Agents Just Found Longest Drug Tunnel Ever Despite Obamas opposition to build up and defend the Mexican border, facts continued to underline just how critical this problem is. The latest evidence of this is a half-mile tunnel that was recently discovered in San Diego. This is the longest drug tunnel that has been discovered by US Border Agents. The drug seizure from busting the operation was also record-breaking. This is the largest cocaine seizure ever associated with a tunnel, Laura Duffy, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of California told reports. 11,000 pounds of marijuana was also discovered. The operation may have never been discovered if it werent for a Border Agent who was suspicious of what he observed, particularly the company hiding the tunnel entrance. What do you think of this bust? 
2	UPDATE: Clock Kid Ahmed Mohamed Flees America With Family After Doing THIS Clock Kid Ahmed Mohamed announces he is leaving the country for good, going to Qatar. This is the 14-year-old who brought a hoax bomb to school as a clock. He was arrested, and was the source of tension across the nation. Before leaving, Ahmed refused to sign a waiver that would allow the school to tell their side of the story. Breitbart said, When Clock Boy Ahmed jets off to Qatar, he may leave his former Texas high school silenced from disclosing the details behind his September 14 arrest because the Mohamed family did not sign the school districts waiver. Without it, the Irving Independent School District (ISD) remains muzzled from telling their side, burying the rest of the story. Obviously Ahmed has something to hide. Justice can not be brought to this school because of the refusal from Ahmed to sign this waiver. Do you think that the school has the right to tell their story? 
1	New Detroit head coach Jim Schwartz opened the Lions' first-ever megacamp Monday with a speech welcoming his players, outlining the goals he wanted the team to reach by February, and telling them ten-a-days would begin immediately. 'This is a rebuilding year for the Lions, so I think we should spend the entire time training as hard and for as long as possible,' Schwartz said while acknowledging that holding an extended megacamp meant the Lions would forfeit all the games in the 2009 season. 'I know that means we probably won't improve on last season's record, but we have to think of the long term here.' Players who were late to the megacamp were fined their first game check plus $1 billion. 
2	Spike Lee Has A Disgusting, Hateful Wish For The White People Of Ferguson It is no secret with film director Spike Lee has been the source of controversy in Hollywood for a very long time. With a reputation of taking advantage of the media to support his films, it is not surprise that he took the opportunity to make headlines in an interview with Anderson Cooper on MSNBC. In the interview, Lee comes off as incredibly passive aggressive and racist. He voices his strong opinion that he hopes that the current controversy in Ferguson, Missouri would lead to an uprising. When people get to a point, that tipping point, they cant take it anymore, Lee told Cooper. And Im not saying that people should burn down stuff, riot, and loot. And I dont even want to use the word riot. Im going to use the word uprising. But this is not the first time weve seen this. And I just hope that things will really blow up, if the people arent happy with the verdict of this upcoming trial. What do you think of Lees comments? Is it absolutely ridiculous that he is asking for more action and criminal activity in Ferguson?

3	Ancestry.com Is Now Sharing Your DNA With The PoliceBy Joshua Krause Sometimes, it involves our DNA, which is what Michael Usry Jr. learned when the police called him in for questioning in regards to a bogus hit and run incident. In reality, they were trying to solve a cold case involving the 1994 murder of Angie Dodge in Idaho Falls. So why did they think he was the killer? Because, his fathers DNA, which was a very close match the killers, had been submitted to Ancestry.com. The Sorenson Database, which is owned by Ancestry.com and stores over 100,000 DNA samples from around the world, gave up his fathers genetic profile without a warrant or a court order. At this point in the story things became even more convoluted. The DNA from the Ancestry.com database linked a man, Michael Usry, to the case that didnt fit the police profile, as he was born in 1952. The cops then used the genetic information and traced his line of male descendants, ultimately finding his son Michael Usry Jr., born in 1979, which much more closely fit the police profile of the killer. Once they had targeted Ursy Jr. as the suspect, they began to scour his Facebook page looking for connections to Idaho, finding a couple of Facebook friends that lived in the area of Idaho Falls. Police then, by Google searching, realized that Usry Jr. was a filmmaker and had done some short films containing murder scenes. Law enforcement subsequently got a warrant for Usry Jr.s DNA based upon the completely circumstantial evidence presented by Idaho investigators. The cops then called Usry Jr. and asked him to meet them, under the guise that they were investigating a hit-and-run accident. Thinking he had nothing to hide, he agreed to meet with the investigators, without an attorney present. He was subsequently taken to an interrogation room where he eventually allowed them to collect his DNA. Despite the flimsy circumstantial evidence used to get the warrant, ultimately the test showed that although there were a number of familial alleles shared with the murderers sample, Usry Jr.s DNA did not conclusively match the killers. Isnt that twisted? You cant even research your familys genealogy without the government snooping your DNA. Whats worse, is that this is a total break with Ancestry.coms consent form. They promise not to share your DNA with anyone outside of the company, and yet they did it anyway. They didnt even ask for a warrant. At first, they concealed Usrys information, but once the police got a hold of the DNA, they forced the company to hand over his name with a court order. This is the world we live in now. The government lies to gain our consent, and the corporations ask for our consent and then conveniently fail to uphold their own terms. Theyre working in tandem to erode our rights at every level, and they wont stop until they own us lock stock and barrel. Its just too bad that there isnt any evidence of their incestuous relationship on Ancestry.com.

3	Unlabeled Genetically Modified Salmon Could Soon Be In StoresAlex Pietrowski, Contributor After conducting an environmental assessment concerning GM fish, the FDA has given AquaBounty Technologies, the GM-fish producer out of Massachusetts, initial approval to develop the salmon for commercial production. The public has 60 days to respond to the environmental assessment before the FDA will make the approval of AquaBountys application official. AquaBounty created the GM salmon in 1989 by injecting genes from an ocean Pout fish and a Chinook Pacific salmon into a fertilized Atlantic salmon egg. Other GM animals have been created around the world. For example, the spider-goat, which has a single gene from a golden orb-weaving spider, produces milk that contains spiders silk and is used to make bullet proof vests. GM chickens produced in Great Britain are injected with a bird flu gene, which prevents them from spreading the disease. GMO opponents argue that raising GM salmon and other GM animals may have a significant impact on wild animal populations, and may also negatively affect the fishing industry. Wild salmon is already endangered in the US. These problems are further underpinned by the potential impact that many believe GMO may have on human health. For the general American public, the availability of GM salmon may go unnoticed because labeling of foods that are genetically altered is not mandated. Coalition groups and public officials in over 30 US states are fighting for the peoples fundamental right to know what is in their food. It is believed that Californias Proposition 37 initiative, which lost on the November ballot, was defeated because Monsanto, pesticide companies and large food producers spent $46 million on publicity campaigns convincing the public that GMO labeling is not in the publics interest and that GM foods are completely safe. Yet, research continues to surface proving the opposite: consuming GMO foods carries certain risks of disease and even cancer, may cause reproductive difficulties, and may shut down certain genes. GMO biotechnology also presents a significant threat to the integrity and diversity of the worlds food supply, although GMO supporters will argue that genetic engineering of our food is necessary to address the growing global food demand and food shortages and deal with agricultural challenges such as climate change. Eleanor Bravo, Food and Water Watchs New Mexico Organizer states, We need the research of genetic engineering to be expanded beyond the companies who own the seeds and stand to profit, and labeling will allow this to happen.

2	Liberals Everywhere Are FURIOUS After This Black Woman Does THIS In Support Of The Confederate Flag [VIDEO] Karen Cooper, a black woman living in Virginia, is rocking the boat after claiming that she believes that the Confederate flag represents freedoms rather than oppression and racism. This goes directly against the story the liberal media is trying to tell, and as you can imagine, liberals are furious. I feel Im a slave now because the federal government does control me, Cooper says in Battle Flag, a documentary. I cant drink what I want to drink. If I want to put something into my body, its my body, not theirs. Thats tyranny! Im not advocating slavery or think that it was right, Cooper clarifies. It wasnt and none of my friends think it was. It was just something that happened. It didnt just happen in the Southit happened worldwide. But yet and still, its only the Southerners and only the battle flag that has all the weight and the guilt on it. Its not right. Watch the clip and tell us what you think of Coopers comments. 
1	Pushed to the breaking point after constantly being taken to task for its shortcomings without ever hearing so much as a word of thanks for everything it does around here, an overwhelmed and infuriated nation announced Wednesday that it was trying, okay? Jesus, sources confirmed. Early reports acknowledged that while every aspect of the country might not be as picture-fucking-perfect as it could be, millions of Americans are working really hard, and considering the current shitty circumstances, they figured it might be nice if for oncejust oncethey didn't have someone riding their asses about it. 'We're doing the best we can here, for Christ's sake,' said Syracuse, NY sporting goods store manager Eric Mahoney, who, like many citizens, threw up his hands in frustration over being endlessly hounded about every stupid little detail. 'Honestly, what more could you possibly expect from us? What do you think we are, superheroes or something?' 'We don't need to be reminded that things aren't going so great every goddamn time we turn aroundwe get it, all right?' continued Mahoney, echoing the collective exasperation of countless Americans breaking their backs day in and day out without having one single thing to show for it. 'So how about cutting us a little slack for a change instead of shitting on us at every opportunity?' According to the results of a recent Reuters poll, 33 percent of U.S. residents want nothing more than two freakin' minutes when someone isn't continually breathing down their necks. 28 percent can't believe they're still putting up with all this horse shit, and for what? And, in response to comments that 46-year-old Dave Perelson of Richmond, VA seemed to be able to handle things just fine without always screwing up, roughly 700,000 Americans snapped, 'Well, we can't all fucking be Dave, can we?' Additionally, son-of-a-bitch, 67 percent of Americans reported. 'You know what? Fuck it,' said Seattle-based software programmer Damien Truong, 27, one of the millions of people who are sick and tired of being talked down to like they're some kind of idiots or something. 'If you really think you can do it so much better, then why don't you just take it from here?' Maintaining that it was totally unreasonable to be held to such high standards, increasingly emotional citizens everywhere said they were really going through a lot right now, so please just get off their backs, okay? 'It's justwe've really been under the gun lately,' said Jacksonville FL building superintendent Lawrence Donovan, holding back tears and struggling to get his words out. 'With everything that's been going on, sometimes even getting the simplest stuff accomplished feels like climbing Mount Everest.' 'Sure, maybe we could've done some things a little better or more carefully, but the pressure of trying to be so perfect all the timeit's killing us,' Donovan added while being handed a tissue. Many Americans said that maybe the best thing would be for them to take a couple days to regroup and get their heads together. Others, meanwhile, lamented the sleepless nights they've suffered just thinking about all the shit that still needs to get done, how it all just keeps piling up endlessly, and how it's impossible to stay on top of everything all the time. Ultimately, the majority of the U.S. populace apologized for freaking out, but insisted they needed to be met halfway on this thing. 'Look, we probably shouldn't have lost it like that, but riding us about this shit just makes everything worse,' said Timothy Caputo, a 57-year-old copy editor in Los Angeles. 'How about taking the time to point out the things we did right for a change? Would that really be so hard?' Fucking Christ, the nation added.

1	Saying it seemed like a perfectly fine way to bide her time, recent SUNY Binghamton graduate Brenna Novich told reporters Thursday that she might as well do some good in the world until the economy picked up. Its really tough to find any positions in the publishing industry right now, so I guess theres no reason I cant make a positive impact on the community while I wait for something to open up, said Novich, adding that she would probably teach underprivileged children or advocate for an environmental organization while keeping an eye on job openings. No harm in giving back to society until hiring gets going again. I doubt itll take more than a couple of years at most, but theres plenty of opportunities making a difference in other peoples lives to hold me over. At press time, Novich was relieved that she had managed to land an entry-level job and would not have to work for a good cause after all.

1	The Information Age was dealt a stunning blow Monday, when a factual error was discovered on the Internet. The error was found on TedsUltimateBradyBunch.com, a Brady Bunch fan site that incorrectly listed the show's debut year as 1968, not 1969. The shocking error. Caryn Wisniewski, a Pueblo, CO, legal secretary and diehard Brady Bunch fan, came across the mistake while searching for information about the show's first-season cast. 'When I first saw 1968 on the web page, I thought, 'Wow, apparently, all those Brady Bunch books I've read listing 1969 as the show's first year were wrong,'' Wisniewski told reporters at a press conference. 'But even though I obviously trusted the Internet, I was still kind of puzzled. So I checked other Brady Bunch fan sites, and all of them said 1969. After a while, it slowly began to sink in that the World Wide Web might be tainted with unreliable information.' Following up on her suspicion, Wisniewski phoned her public library, the ABC television network, and the office of Brady Bunch producer Sherwood Schwartzall of whom confirmed that 'Ted's Ultimate Brady Bunch Site' was in error. Attempts to contact the webmaster of 'Ted's Ultimate Brady Bunch Site,' identified as Ted Crewes of Naugatuck, CT, were unsuccessful. The page has been taken offline by its host, Cheaphost.net, which released a statement Tuesday. 'We at Cheaphost were deeply saddened and disturbed to learn that one of the millions of pages we host contained a factual discrepancy,' the web-posted statement read. 'Please be assured that we are doing everything within our power to ensure that nothing of the sort happens again. We will not rest until the Internet's once-sterling reputation as the world's leading source for 100 percent reliable information is restored.' Paul Boutin, senior editor of Wired, said the error is likely to have a profound effect on how the Internet is perceived. 'Will we ever fully trust the Web again?' Boutin asked. 'We may well be witnessing the dawn of a new era of skepticism in which we no longer accept everything we read online at face value. But regardless of what the future holds, one thing is clear: The Internet's status as the world's definitive repository of incontrovertible fact has been jeopardized.' Peter Luyck, 30, a Dallas-area graphic designer and frequent Internet user, was crestfallen. 'If it happens once, it can happen again,' Luyck said. 'I shudder to think that, one dark day in the future, misinformation could again make its way online. In fact, it may already have. How do we know that trusted sites like the Drudge Report and Fucked Company are as accurate as we instinctively trust them to be? Can we blindly trust that SpideyRulez.com is correct in its reportage that the upcoming Spider-Man sequel will feature Christopher Walken as Dr. Octopus? Pandora is out of the box.' Though the Brady Bunch error is the first confirmed instance of false information on the Internet, scares have occurred in the past. In 1998, an e-mail sent to a woman in Warner Robins, GA, made an unverifiable claim that she could earn thousands of dollars from an initial $5 investment. The claim was never conclusively proven false, and no charges were filed. 
3	Massachusetts High Court Recognizes Right to be Free From GPS SurveillanceHanni Fakhouri Police obtained a search warrant to install a GPS device on a car owned by a man suspected in a number of arsons throughout the state and tracked him while he drove the car with his friend and frequent passenger, Rousseau, for over 30 days. After being arrested and charged, both the owner and passenger Rousseau sought to challenge the GPS evidence, arguing that due to misrepresentations in the warrant application, the warrant was invalid. The trial court agreed the misrepresentations made the warrant invalid, but upheld the surveillance anyway, finding that neither the driver or the passenger had a reasonable expectation of privacy in their movements and that for the driver, the physical installation of the GPS device didnt trigger state or federal constitutional scrutiny. After the trial courts decision in 2007, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled in 2009 in Commonwealth v. Connolly that the physical installation of a GPS device was a seizure under Article 14 of the Massachusetts constitution that required a search warrant. Then in 2012, the U.S. Supreme ruled in United States v. Jones that the physical installation of a GPS device was a search under the Fourth Amendment that required a search warrant. These decisions meant the driver had standing to challenge the installation of the GPS device on his car. But what about the passenger, Rousseau? Since he didnt own the truck, these decisions didnt determine whether he had a right of privacy in his public movements. That was the issue confronting the Massachusetts high court. Following that decision, weve argued to numerous courts that they should follow the Jones concurrences and find a reasonable expectation of privacy in a persons location meaning a search warrant is required before the police engage in cell site or GPS tracking. We did the same thing here, filing an amicus brief with the help of our friends at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School, explaining that everyone has a reasonable expectation of privacy in their public movements, whether theyre sitting in the left or right side of the car. Thankfully, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court agreed with us and found that people have a reasonable expectation that their every movement wont be tracked 24/7 for days, weeks, and months on end. And while the decision only applies in Massachusetts, itsimportant for state courts and legislators to protect their citizens privacy concerns and build momentum for other state courts and legislatures as well as federal courts and Congress to do the same. That way, we ensure advances in technology dont erode our privacy protections.

2	ALERT: Obama Gives Turkey The Green Light To Bomb U.S. Vets Fighting ISIS In September of last year, Retired US Marine Jordan Matson joined the YPG Kurdish fighters to fight ISIS. Later, Matson told Greta Van Susteren that there are 40 to 50 Americans fighting with Kurdish forces against ISIS. He went on to claim that the Kurds have been extraordinarily hospitable to Christians. According to Matson, there have been many British ex-soldiers fighting with the Kurdish forces as well. Despite their continued efforts against ISIS, Obama just gave Turkey his approval to move forward with bombing the Kurds. This will mark their first strike on the Kurds since a peace deal was signed in 2013. What do you think? Are you sick of Obama refusing to stand up to ISIS? 
2	Thug Breaks Into 85 Year Old Mans House, Learns Quickly That Was A Big Mistake [VIDEO] An 85-year-old man in El Cerrito, California just experienced first-hand why our Second Amendment rights need to be protected. According to recent reports, the elderly man shot one of two intruders in the head as they attempted to break into his home last week. The incident happened at 11:15 a.m. Lt. Steve Bonini confirmed. Bonini claims that the two men knocked on the door of a home in the neighborhood. When no one answered, they went to the back yard. The elderly man called police to report that he saw suspicious people in his backyard, but knew that authorities were unlikely to get to him before he would need to take action. They entered the gate, came through the back and were in the process of kicking down the back doors, Bonini claims. That is when the man opened fire. One of the suspects quickly took off running. He was later located by authorities about 15 blocks away from the house, near the Del Norte BART station. At that point, police discovered he had been shot in the head. It is kind of amazing to think that a person with a bullet in their head was able to travel that distance and run from police one they saw him, Bonini claimed. 34-year-old Shawn Mulberry had an outstanding warrant for his arrest for violating his parole. He is currently being treated at an East Bay hospital and is believed to be in serious, but stable condition. When an 85-year-old can take on a thug like that, absolutely hes a hero, Neil Swendsen, a neighbor told reporters. He did the whole community a service by putting these bad guys out of action and were very proud of him. What do you think? Does this underscore the importance of our Second Amendment rights? 
2	Survivors Of Benghazi Say Hillary Clinton Lied [VIDEO] In a recent interview with Fox News, three men who fought in Benghazi, Libya during the 2012 attack revealed the shocking information that the State Department ordered them to stand down during the siege. The interview involved security contractors Mark Geist, Kris Paronto and John Tiegen, and was about a Michael Bay-directed movie called 13 Hours. During The Kelly File segment, the three men dropped some serious bombshells about presidential hopeful Hillary Clintons actions during the attacks. Tiegen reported that in spite of his warnings that Ambassador Chris Stevens had gone missing, the State Department refused to let the forces engage, and ordered them to stand down in the face of the attack. The trio also helped Bay craft an accurate and powerful portrayal of the Benghazi attacks in the movie. After watching the film, they said that the experience was both difficult and exhilarating. It was a part of me that I relived on the screen, and I realized how much Id been missing, Paronto told Kelly during the interview. Its amazing being with your brothers and fightingbeing there and being with them and having the faith that youre going to defeat all the obstacles. We cant wait to see the film and what it is sure to reveal about Clinton. Were sure her campaign is already shaking in their boots. What do you think? Does Hillary need to be kept far away from the White House? 
2	WATCH: Thug Thinks He Can Take Small Cop, Seconds Later Hes PLEADING For Mercy Liberals everywhere seem to be forgetting that when a cop issues an order, you should probably follow it. Time and time again, were seeing criminals disobeying law enforcement, and escalating what could have been a simple arrest to a serious altercation. According to a report provided by the Fresno Police Department, a new incident just accorded on Monday at 7:30 AM, near Hoover High School. It began when a traffic cop observed a student beginning to run westbound across First Street. The student was not in the crosswalk and the pedestrian crossing light was blinking red, the report continued. The officer told the student to go back onto the sidewalk and cross the intersection in the crosswalk when the signal changed. Rather than listening to the officer, the young thug decided to run behind the officer to the crosswalk and enter into the intersection within the crosswalk but against the red signal. The officer told the student to return to the sidewalk until the signal changed, the report detailed. The student smiled at him and continued to walk westbound against the red signal. Finally, when the signal turned green, the rebel was issued a citation for pedestrian walking against the red signal. Sure, it may be a bit harsh to write a citation for jaywalking, but the fact is this teen repeatedly ignored the officers orders instead of simply listening. The situation ended up escalating to the point where the teen had to be slammed to the ground and arrested. Thats when he started begging the officer to let him go. Were sure the media is going to go crazy over this, but the fact is the law is not a joke. It needs to be taken seriously. 
3	Cash Cops: How Civil Forfeiture Enriched U.S. Law EnforcementDevon Douglas-Bowers Unfortunately, Holders actions, while laudable, wont stop the massive damage that has already been done and may very well continue the problem. Because although the media has finally begun to talk about the issue, we still havent been presented with a full scope of civil forfeiture: what it is and what it means. To understand forfeiture, one must go back to colonial America. The idea of civil forfeiture comes directly from the British; early forfeiture law refers to the power of a court over an item of real or personal property. This could include land, in which the court would decide who owned a piece of land, or marriage, where the courts would have the authority to terminate a marriage. Originally, in rem jurisdiction was incorporated into American customs and admiralty laws governing the seizure of ships for crimes of piracy, treason and smuggling in the early days of the Republic, and during the American Civil War. It was later formalized in 1966 in the Supplemental Rules for Certain Admiralty and Maritime Claims which apply to our civil forfeiture cases. So the United States has always had some type of civil forfeiture law. The situation changed, however, when President Nixon announced the War on Drugs and began to use civil forfeiture as an instrument of law enforcement. Author Montgomery Sibley notes that, as part of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, Congress strengthened civil forfeiture as a means of confiscating illegal substances and the means by which they are manufactured and distributed. In 1978, Congress amended the law to authorize the seizure and forfeiture of the proceeds of illegal drug transactions as well. Under Nixon, the Continuing Criminal Enterprise statute was also enacted, targeting repeat offenders of lucrative drug trafficking. Meanwhile, an important side effect of the Control Act was that it not only allowed police to seize private property being used in a crime it also made clear that the owner of said property had to prove the property in question was not being used as part of a crime. In other words, when it comes to proving that someones property isnt being used for criminal purposes, the burden of proof is on the owner, not the police. This creates a situation where the police can essentially confiscate someones belongings, allege that the items are being used to further a crime, and the owner must somehow prove that the allegation is false something that can be extremely difficult to do. In 1984, under President Ronald Reagan, further changes were made under the Comprehensive Crime Control Act with regards to funds attained from civil forfeiture. Two new forfeiture funds were federally created, one at the U.S. Department of Justice, which gets revenue from forfeitures done by agencies like the Drug Enforcement Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and another now run by the U.S. Treasury, which gets revenue from agencies like Customs and the Coast Guard. As PBS reported, these funds could now be used for forfeiture-related expenses, payments to informants, prison building, equipment purchase, and other general law enforcement purposes. However, there was a major change in that local law enforcement this time would also get to have their share of the pie. Within the 1984 Act was a provision for so-called equitable sharing, which allows local law enforcement agencies to receive a portion of the net proceeds of forfeitures they help make under federal law. As soon as this occurred, America saw a massive increase in the amount of civil forfeitures carried out by federal agents between 1989 and 1999, when the value of civil forfeiture recoveries nearly doubled from $285,000,039 to $535,767,852 a 187% increase in only 10 years. And the numbers only grew as time went on. In 2012, $4.6 billion was acquired via civil forfeiture, compared to a decade earlier, in 2002, when the amount seized was just $322,246,408. The increase of over 1,400% reveals a major cash cow for law enforcement. There was an attempt to reform civil forfeiture through the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2000. This included several changes most notably in regards to poor or impoverished defendants, where the new law ordered courts to issue the defendant a lawyer when the property in question is a primary residence, as well as to pay the lawyer regardless of the outcome of the case, whereas before, defendants had to essentially defend themselves. In addition, the issue of burden of proof changed as the government now had to establish, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the property [was] subject to forfeiture, where previously the government could seize property solely on probable cause. Put simply, in order to seize property, the government now had not just to present evidence, but to present evidence based on the more convincing evidence and its probable truth or accuracy, and not on the amount of evidence. With that reform, it was no longer enough to say there was a possibility that the evidence could have been used in a crime. However, the law didnt deal with the problem that the burden of proof was on the property owner, nor did it deal with the conflict of interest in which the government could seize property and sell it using the money to fund its own operations. Because the pressing question still remains: how exactly do police use the funds theyve gained from civil forfeitures? In 2013, Vice reported that a district attorney in Georgia used the funds to to buy football tickets and home furnishings, whereas officers in Bal Harbor, Florida, took trips to LA and Vegas and rented luxury cars, and other DAs and police chiefs have bought everything from tanning salons to booze for parties. The Washington Post also reported that police are using the funds to militarize themselves, buying an array of items such as Humvees, automatic weapons, gas grenades, night-vision scopes and sniper gear. Many departments acquired electronic surveillance equipment, including automated license-plate readers and systems that track cellphones. And this spending is on top of the military surplus gear police receive from the Pentagon. While there is a federal force to ensure that funds are used appropriately, its wildly understaffed; the Justice Department has about 15 employees assigned to oversee compliance, with some five employees responsible for reviewing thousands of annual reports. Essentially, then, police are free to spend the money they gain from civil forfeitures on anything they want, without fear of punishment. Besides the previously noted conflict of interest and burden of proof issues, there are also other major problems with civil forfeiture notably, the disproportionate racial impact and harm it causes to innocent people. In 2012, Vanita Gupta, the ACLU deputy legal director, was involved in a settlement of several civil forfeiture cases in Texas in which mainly black and Latino drivers were pulled over, many times without justification, and had their assets seized by police. Gupta noted that civil forfeiture laws invite racial profiling and incentivize police agencies to engage in unconstitutional behavior in order to fund themselves off the backs of low-income motorists, most of whom lack the means to fight back, without any hard evidence of criminal activity. It is no way to run our justice system. Furthermore, in 2014, the Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute reported reported that civil forfeiture laws routinely amount to de facto racial discrimination, as law enforcement officials routinely target low-income people of color, seizing their assets. It quoted the ACLU as saying that asset forfeiture practices often go hand-in-hand with racial profiling and disproportionally impact low-income African-American or Hispanic people who the police decide look suspicious and for whom the arcane process of trying to get ones property back is an expensive challenge. Thus, like many aspects of the criminal justice system, civil forfeiture disproportionately impacts minorities. Great harm is also committed against innocent people who are not actually engaging in any crime. Gothamist reported that in March of 2012, the NYPD confiscated $4,800 belonging to Gerald Bryan, and took Bryan into custody on suspected felony drug distribution, as the police continued their warrantless search. Bryans case was later dropped, but when he went to reclaim his money he was told it was too late: the money had been deposited into the NYPDs pension fund. The NYPDs civil forfeiture was declared unconstitutional twice. However, the process still continues, reflecting a failure to protect the basic rights of citizens and a breakdown in the rule of law. The very people who are supposed to enforce the law are the ones who profit from ignoring it something that was proven in a recent study by the Institute for Justice, which found that civil forfeiture encourages choices by law enforcement officers that leave the public worse off. Under civil forfeiture, said the report, when participants could gain financially by taking property from others, that is overwhelmingly what they did. While many might argue that the civil forfeiture game has changed due to recent actions taken by AG Holder, unfortunately very little actually has. As Vox reported in January: Holders order only curtails adoptions that are requested through the federal program by a local or state police department working on its own. It still allows local and state police to seize and keep assets when working with federal authorities on an investigation, and when the property is linked to public safety concerns such as illegal firearms, ammunition, and explosives. Thus, civil forfeitures continue unabated for the most part. This data analysis revealed that only about a quarter25.6 percentof properties seized under equitable sharing were federal adoptions of properties seized by state or local law enforcement, the kind of seizures the new policy targets and that of the nearly $6.8 billion in cash and property seized under equitable sharing from 2008 to 2013, adoptions accounted for just 8.7 percent. Put simply: local and state law enforcement can still engage in civil forfeiture and make large amounts of money off it. To make things worse, incoming Attorney General Loretta Lynch appears undisturbed by the current state of civil forfeiture, since she has used civil asset forfeiture in more than 120 cases, raking in some $113 million for federal and local coffers, and even calling it a wonderful tool. There have been attempts at reform. But both of them the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2014, and the Fifth Amendment Integrity Restoration Act, which would protect the rights of citizens and restore the Fifth Amendments role in seizing property without due process of law, died in Congress. In the meantime, it seems that cops and the government will continue to cash in on the property of U.S. citizens.

'I have to dig up the bones to get them to the museum,' Bushnell told his mother, Kathy Bushnell. 'There's a big brontosaurus by the swingset.' Bushnell has asked his mother to buy him a new digging tool that is larger than his plastic Fisher-Price sand shovel. 
3	NOAA Refuses to Hand Over Climate Change Documents to CongressBy Joshua Krause On October 13th, Smith filed a subpoena for the documents. The Congressman has long been skeptical of climate change, and has accused NOAA of fabricating temperature data. Smith told The Examiner that Congress cannot do its job when agencies openly defy Congress and refuse to turn over informationWhen an agency decides to alter the way it has analyzed historical temperature data for the past few decades, its crucial to understand on what basis those decisions were made. This action has broad national and policy implications. Despite the subpoena, NOAA still isnt backing down on the grounds that there is a long-standing practice in the scientific community to protect the confidentiality of deliberative scientific discussions and Congressman Eddie Bernice Johnson has backed them up by calling Smiths subpoena an illegitimate harassment of our nations research scientists. 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. long-standing practice in the scientific community to protect the confidentiality of deliberative scientific discussions Ah, thats more of less the exact opposite of tradition among the scientific community. If you report findings, you are responsible for letting the reader know what you did and why you did it. That goes for both how you collected the data and how you analyzed the data. The reader may or may not agree with the authors interpretation, and thats fine. But refusing to share raw data or refusing to explain methods of data analysis is a huge red flag to any honest scientist. More proof that Global Warming/Climate Change/OzoneLayerHoles/GlobalCooling is all a politically motivated scam with far reaching tentacles into academia that seeks to control resources through lies and deception. more BS from this administration Withhold funding simple. New sheriffs in town. Read my prior posts on climate change. Ive installed under contract temp monitoring station power systems. Still have the old contract pw n pics. LOL We all know this is the enabling foundation for UN NWO, etc. They will block all efforts that compromise it. All part of the bullshit Road to Paris 2030 Agenda. Climate change is a joke and always has been a huge smoke screen to take peoples minds off things like the evil TPP and the coming NWO! Thats crap. Burning carbon (oil) into our atmosphere is wanton stupidity and its killing us. If the earth is getting cooler, why is it that we can now dill in the Arctic? Why is it that the coral is dying? Why is it that the permafrost is melting? Im not so sure that withholding the data is proof that global warming is a hoax. There are other considerations. Here are just a few. The spawning of Salmon on the west coast of north America has dropped dramatically. Seals and Sea Lions are washing up on the west coast showing high weight loss and starving. Fishing fleets in the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea are normally able to catch their annual quota of Codfish in 90 days. Now theyre staying out almost ten months and still cant meet the quota. They bring up the traps (or pots as they call them), that were sent to the ocean floor with bait fish inside, and the traps are coming up filled with drowned Seals and Sea Lions who forced their way in to eat the bate because there isnt anything swimming out at sea for them to eat. They cant get back out of the traps, which have a one-way entrance. Recently thousands of dead or dying sea birds washed up along the coast. They eat a form of krill which has vanished. They are starving to death. The fishing fleets are now required by NOAA to have a scientist on board each ship to record these catches whether they are Cod or the anomalous bi-catch of dead Seals, etc. The data they collect is classified, and fishing vessel employees are subject to immediate termination if these facts are divulged. There is something very wrong out there, and NOAA wont release the data (in my opinion) because the reality is far worse than we can imagine. Fukushima is a much more obvious explanation for the dying in the Pacific. If they were all getting together in Paris to figure out how to control that ongoing leak of radioactivity, Id support that! This is true as well. Probably as severe a threat as anything else- even the Methane plumes forming in the Arctic. One hears that the radioactive isotope of Cesium only has a half life of 37 years, and they perceive this to be a minor problem. (As opposed say to an isotope of Uranium), which may see a half life of 150,000 years. The truth is, the shorter half life isotopes are far more dangerous, because they decay at a faster rate. The radiation intensity over that duration of time is absolutely lethal, even though it is much shorter. And this is what the Tokyo Electric Company has been dumping in the Pacific unimpeded since 2011. It ought to be considered a Crime Against Humanity. But the Japanese, always conscious of saving face, have refused any outside help. I know people with the right kinds of technology that have tried- like Morningstar Applied Physics. They were turned away. True, all of that and its enough to put at least reasonable doubt on much of the settled science of global warming. If not for lots of other things, like the observation that the globe is not currently warming, the physical and mathematical omissions in the climate model on which they are relying, etc. Your right witholding data doesnt prove global warmig is a hoax but there is no real data to prove all of those natural disaster scenarios you mention have anything to do with anthroprogenic climate change either. In fact, it could be argued that the weather has nothing to do with much of that stuff. Furthermore, there are no political solutions on the table to resolve any of that stuff. Sorry but carbon credits or a global carbon tax will simply cause more poverty and suffering for most and continue wealth consolidation for the ultra wealthy robber barons. When the IPCC, UN, WHO etc.. start to seriously look at GMO crops, terraforming weather modifications, the extraction process of fossil fuels from the earth, corporate polluting on a mass scale and many other factors as parts of a bigger problem then we can talk solutions. When they tell us with a straight face that an elemental compound that is absolutely vital to life on earth, CO2, is to blame, in a vacuum, they lose all credibility, regardless the data or paid puppets in academia that parrot the cause. Brent- I agree in part with some of what youve said. But the average citizen has no experience in reading that data- (whatever it might be.) For example, people hear that the polar ice was growing back faster each winter in recent times than in previous decades. Superficially, It appears to contradict the global warming scenario. But snow melt (melting glaciers) produce mineral free water. It freezes faster than salinated water. Its specific gravity is lower, so it floats above normal, mineral-laden sea water. Its temperature is just above freezing. And the weather patterns that pass above the north Atlantic carry that colder effect into Europe which sees a more severe winter. Thus global warming is pegged as a hoax. The reality is, that the weather modification campaigns that have become so obvious to anyone with a brain and a set of eyes, are dispensing Aluminum Oxide nanoparticles- both as a fuel additive and as ice condensation nuclei. Eventually, this material- one of the components in nanothermate, ( a high-temperature explosive) reaches the ground as fallout. The forest fires that follow the artificial drought that has resulted burn longer and hotter. CDF statistics on forest wildfires since year 2000 show the total acreage consumed and suppression costs on these fires has doubled in that time span. And the resulting plumes of Carbon produced by these super-hot wildfires is lofted to the stratosphere, where it is settling out in the Arctic. According to climatologist Jason Box, head of the Dark Snow Project, the resulting loss of albedo (reflectivity) is causing the polar ice to melt off at three times the rate originally believed. And to exacerbate the greenhouse gases problem- even beyond higher CO2, the cold fresh water on the north Atlantics surface is causing the warm Gulf Stream Current to subduct in the Labrador Strait, melting off the Methane Hydrate deposits on the sea floor. Methane has a much higher impact on the retention of warmth in the atmosphere. Its basic chemistry after all. And when this material sublimates into a gas rising from the depths, it kills all sea life that depend on the Oxygen dissolved in the ocean for aquatic respiration. Frankly, I feel it is too late to change the circumstances if this world wide problem is anthropomorphic. But we could at the very least be willing to listen and consider a path to recovery, or Mother Nature will do it for us. We have no idea what could be achieved to reverse climate change if we stopped subsidizing fossil fuels and grew hemp extensively and replace petrochemicals with it for the thousands of products it can be used for. And its a more superior option. Weve done nothing. Of course, the Paris summit will impose fees and penalties because that is all government is capable of. The modus operandi of government is to control and penalizing the use of fossil fuels is a perfect method to do that. Carbon taxes and the like should have been undertaken years ago. Were beyond that now. We need to change our habits and fast. Funny that we in the West havent really seen the devastating effects of climate change. Again, its the poor who suffer most. Maybe when climate change hits exponential growth well see it but if it goes into runaway mode, that will be too late. We have absolutely no idea when that can happen. I dont know what the oil magnates will do, how will they survive earth temps of 4 degrees and more? (not that I care about them) I dont know why we plebs keep looking to Goliath to tell us what to do. We dont need any of those global entities we can start conserving energy now (we should have started long ago) and working with each other to use alternative energies. While we keep looking to Goliath were only going to get clobbered either way. Nice bit of angry yelling there, shows your ignorance to reality. Deniers are f**king up our climate which belongs to everyone and saying thats normal doesnt anger you? Well maybe your blood has already stopped flowing. Wolfie is right. Anyone with any nouse knows you cant be doing what we do and think that the ecosystem is not going to be affected. The discrepancy is in the cost deniers deny climate change because they only consider the cost. They obviously know nothing about science. What they fail to realize is that the cost to us is astronomically higher the longer we use fossil fuels. Not only the cost in terms of the change to alternative energies that may cost more upfront but they fail to understand the freedom from oligarchy that clean, abundant and renewable energies will bestow humanity. Conservatives are not exactly renowned for their vision and rationality. Let me explain something called the Scientific Method to you. 1) You come up with a theory When it comes to Global Warming, the experiment happens to be the computer models. All those models predicted temperatures to rise. There was no warming detected over the period of time the models predicted there would be warming. The actual results failed to match the predicted results. That means its time to rethink Global Warming. Want to repeat that no nothing about science claim? Nevermind the actual evidence since most people believe whatever they are told as long as its the reputable liars telling them what to think over and over again. Using a popular pejorative like denier does show your allegiance to a particular team. Since youve lost objectivity, youve lost the debate. And it IS a debate. An intellectual debate over a human programmed computer model with the haziest definition of the term global temperature. Even your vaunted computer model didnt predict the climate for the past 10 20 years. THINK. Quit rooting for a team. Besides, just which climate do you want to have on earth? 1950? 1850? 1750? Since you think man can change it, Im just curious where you want to stop the most chaotic and least predictable phenomena on the planet. A lie is a lie, even if everyone believes it. Truth is truth, even when no one believes it. The temperature has been falling because of chemtrails dummy. Excuse me, but youre working for a Government Funded Agency. Youre employed by the tax-payers. That means the tax-payers own your work product and have a right to see it. Youve basically just told your boss no. The typical response to that is getting fired. 
2	Host Rips Michelle Obama A New One: Youre A Spoiled B. [VIDEO] After Michelle Obamas graduation speech at the predominantly black Tuskegee University, TV show host Alfonso Rachel had to speak up. He used his internet talk show to slam Michelle in a video is going viral. Heres an excerpt of what he said: If knowledge is power and you are graduating with the power of knowledge then how are you going to tolerate this agitator coming in to convince you, that youre a victim, despite the power youre graduating with. You are the first freaking lady of the United States and youre still a spoiled butt-hurt victim, whining about unfairness. Youre not interested in representing the United States, youre not interested in representing ALL the people, your interest is in representing the black community and as the first lady you have represented us as bitter and spoiled. The only hope that people like you have, Michelle Obama is that people will be as miserable as you. Do you agree with this Alfonso Rachel? 
1	Its no fun being stuck inside the house all weekend because your town is getting shelled. Especially when youre an energetic young girl who loves to play soccer and run relay races. So recently, when 11-year-old Stadja Petrovic of Tuzla was cooped up in her basement for three whole days because of a massive Serb counterattack, she made the best of a potentially boring situation... She made a totally fun art project out of her mothers skull! Now thats using your head! How did she do it? Well, it was easier than you might think! First, Stadja collected whatever she could find lying around the house for materialscrayons, glue, scraps of paper, rotting flesh of loved ones, glitteryou name it! Then, the resourceful little Stadja took the skull of her recently killed mother, the family had been saving for proper burial after the war, and decorated it with all the neat stuff she had collected. Finally, she drilled a great big hole in the top of the skull and... Voila! Stadja had made herself a way-cool pencilholder! Is Stadja happy with the way it came out? Definitely! I miss my mother very much, said the plucky Stadja, a fifth-grader at Stojkonovic Road Elementary School in Tuzla. Death is everywhere. Stadja was so proud of her new pencilholder she decided to bring it to school to show it off. At least if my mother is not alive, I can have part of her with me at school, she said. My two brothers died this year too. Apparently, we werent the only ones who were impressed with Stadjas totally cool pencilholder. Stadjas teacher, Mrs. Tudjman, was so taken aback by it, she decided to assign an art project to the entire class. Next Monday, all students are expected to bring in the body part of a parent or sibling to make a creative arts project. Much as casings explode in theoretically safe haven territory around their school, Stadja and her classmates are exploding with enthusiasm over their new assignment. My younger brother Josip blown apart by a mortar shell on way to grocery last week, said Alija Sarinic, who hopes to make a super-duper tape dispenser with his siblings remains. He was only seven. Classmate Draja Izetbegovic was equally enthused. My mother and father were executed by Serb nationalists earlier this year, Izetbegovic said. The boy plans to make a candleholder, or possibly a puppet, out of his parents. Even Mrs. Tudjman is getting into the act, planning a project of her own. Last year, my apartment building was bombed, and my ceiling collapsed on me, crushing me underneath, she said. My left leg was trapped under an enormous cinderblock for several hours and eventually was amputated below the knee. Shell turn the severed limb into a tie rack for her husband. Wow, with the excitement Mrs. Tudjmans class shows, youd almost forget theres a war going on! And youd certainly never guess the war was brutal and seemingly endless, marked by shocking brutality on all sides, mass murder and rape of civilians, Holocaust-invoking ethnic cleansing, broken treaties and general indifference from the rest of the world! No doubt, until peace in Bosnia is secured for good, the bodies of both soldiers and innocent civilians alike will continue to pile up. But thanks to a certain young girl named Stadja, so will the fun! 
2	BREAKING: Michael Browns Mother Charged With Assault A police report attained by The Smoking Gun acknowledged McSpadden as one of a group of people who physically assaulted people who were selling the t-shirts. Lesley McSpadden, the mother of deceased teenager Michael Brown, could be encountering jail time for allegedly attacking people. The event took place back in October, but this week the Ferguson police department said that the investigation remains open. The report also states that the assailants robbed money and merchandise from the salesperson. McSpadden did not comment, but she said she was devastated to learn that the grand jury decided not to indict Wilson. We heard this and it was just like, like I had been shot. Like you shoot me now just no respect, no sympathy, nothing, she expressed to CNNs Sunny Hostin on Wednesday. This could be your child. This could be anybodys child. The report indicated, Gordon was then repeatedly struck in the back and left side of the head by an unknown subject(s). Gordon stated there were 20-30 unknown subjects tearing her booth apart, and she was knocked to the ground. Gordon heard McSpadden yell to an unknown subject thats Caluinas mom, get her a**. McSpadden then ran up and punched Gordon. A subject believed to be Keyanna Ewings also assaulted Gordon by punching her. Cosey and Petty were assaulted by unknown subjects during the incident. Over $1500.00 in merchandise (shirts and Afghans) and a suitcase containing at least $400 in cash was stolen by unknown subjects. The suspects then fled the scene prior to police arrival. Lesley has vocalized several times her feelings about the case, newly stating that what occurred to her son could have happened to anyone. McSpadden has taken a very open stance throughout the grand jury proceedings that declined to indict police officer Darren Wilson for Browns passing away. It is uncertain what disciplinary action Lesley McSpadden, the mother of Michael Brown, could face for the assault and robbery. 
2	Obama Plants Watchdog In Congress to Undermine Trump Presidency... Its Worse Than We Thought According to reports, Representative Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah and chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, said that his committee still intends to keep an eye on Hillary Clintons email issues in the new Congress. Chaffetz noted that new emails emerged this week for the State Department. I dont want this to linger, he said in a statement. Chaffetz also refused to stand behind Trump, saying it is not his plan to be Trumps cheerleader. He also noted that letters he has gotten from Democrats about the committee watching Trump were silly. The president is exempt from most of these issues, Chaffetz noted. While his committee spent the past eight years going after Obama for scandals, including gunrunning at the Justice Department and the IRSs slowdown of tax-emption applications from Tea Party groups, this years focus will be on postal reformturning back Obamas application of the Antiquities Act. Chaffetz says he would also like to change pension programs for new federal workers and see new government buildings set up outside of Washington. 
3	People Are Merging with Their SmartphonesBy TruthstreamMedia Reality is becoming a little less real by the day. Can you even imagine what it will be like when virtual reality hits the mainstream? To the extent that we are wedded you our smart phones=how much we are alienated from real relationship. And without relationship, we can no longer be said to have humanity. I had a good laugh the last time I went camping and there was no cellphone coverage at camp. Out on the lake fishing with two teenagers often checking to see how many bars they had was amusing in a strange way. A couple of months later one of those teens lost his phone in his home and in a distraught state said to me, You dont understand, my life is on that phone! If I misplace my wallet, it is an inconvenience but not the end of my life. What happened to us? If a huge Coronal Mass Ejection were to hit earth tomorrow and cell phone service went down for months it would be very enlightening for the masses. Those who can not put down their phone would get a disturbing education. I dont have a smart phone and dont want one. I was in a doctors office last month and sitting in the waiting room, reading my book, I looked up and around at this room full of people and everyone had their heads down in the smartphone position. It was so weird I got up, told the receptionist I was going to sit outside and she could call me on my dumb phone when I needed to go into see the doctor. As I was going out the door I turned and looked, no one had moved an inch. Yea, the zombie apocalypse has arrived. I dont have one either. Old friends Ive had for years now get upset with me because Ive elected not to stay connected to them 24/7. One friend I have has two phones. Whenever we meet up for coffee she lays them out on the table so she can monitor them for some reason. You cant have a normal conversation with her anymore, shes barely there. The whole thing is incredibly boring, not to mention rude and stupid. Couldnt agree more. I dont have many friends anymore; thats how bad things are getting. I just decided I didnt want to be around it anyway. Sad. But hey its working a treat for those desiring a NWO. Keep em occupied. The danger I see on the roads everyday with people driving while texting is just madness. Im not talking about a few people here. Being in vehicle high off the ground I can see what they are doing. I would say 8 out of 10 people just CAN NOT leave their phone alone. Thats just mental! But hey, Im the crazy one I know, Brett. So bizarre. Im thinking the smart tech addicts are blasting down the Transhuman Highway (shall we call them Trannies? LOL) while the few of us smart enough to not hold EMF generators next to our brains all day will be in charge of keeping the human genome in tact, just in case anyone needs an actual human for something in the future. Its friggin depressing really, lol! Only for the Trannies. We are the Home of Natural Plants like Cannabis Oil , Medical Marijuana Strains , Edibles , Seeds , wax and hash .

1	The Crown Royal 400 at Richmond International Raceway was cut short Saturday night as the entire field of drivers slowed to a halt on lap 244, shut off their engines, exited their cars, and walked off the track, saying that driving cars very fast for a living is absolutely ridiculous. 'I can't do this anymore,' said Kevin Harvick, winner of two of the last five Sprint Cup races, who then added that his recent success had put his life into 'sickening perspective.' 'I'm disgusted by what I do, and if I don't quit now, it's only a matter of time before I'm disgusted with myself. There has to be a better way to live my life.' 'Quite frankly, when I'm driving around like that I feel like an idiot,' he added. Calling professional stock car racing 'silly,' 'absurd,' and 'pretty dumb when you think about it,' the drivers received a standing ovation from the crowd as they walked toward the raceway's exits, wearing only T-shirts and jogging shorts as they left a colored trail of sponsor-logo-emblazoned coveralls in their wake. The professional racers told reporters they didn't plan beforehand to all quit the race at the same time, but said that at lap 244 the field simply experienced a mutual realization that they could be spending their time doing something that wasn't very stupid. 'I couldn't complete another lap of a NASCAR race and still live with myself,' said former five-time Sprint Cup champion and current El Cajon, CA grocery store assistant manager Jimmie Johnson. 'For 13 years I have been driving a car so I could earn points for the sole purpose of receiving a trophy. When it's framed like that, it sounds pretty goddamn ridiculous, doesn't it?' Of the 43 drivers in the field, many cited the increasingly artificial and corporatized nature of the sport, the possible ecological issues posed by racing, and the length of the NASCAR season as reasons for quitting. 'There's also the fact that we could die,' Jeff Burton said. 'I don't want to die doing this. I really don't.' Following the abrupt conclusion of the race, the response from the entire NASCAR community was largely positive, with officials and fans alike thanking the drivers for ending their misery. Sources confirmed that this might be the best thing to happen to American auto racing since NASCAR held its first stock car race in 1948. 'I was getting tired of people criticizing NASCAR by saying it was just guys driving in a circle,' said Houston, TX carpenter Pat Hardigree, a longtime pretend NASCAR fan who had brought his son to Saturday's race. 'I mean, actually, physically tired. Because saying 'It's not a circle, it's an oval' can really take a toll on your self-respect after a while, believe me.' 'I hate NASCAR,' said NASCAR chairman Brian France, adding that he hopes the drivers never return to Richmond to pick up their cars. 'I think the only thing comparable to spending a Sunday afternoon watching a NASCAR race would be ripping your fingernails out with a pair of pliers.' Although NASCAR offices were running with a skeleton staff Monday, a press release from the sport's governing body claimed that efforts were underway to liquidate the sport's assets as quickly as possible. Famed racetracks in Daytona, Talladega, and Darlington, the statement confirmed, will be converted to landfills, parks, or housing developments, or altogether completely dismantled, to ensure that no one races another stock car ever again. 'Can I just get a few things on the record?' Harvick said. 'Stock cars are actually terrible cars, they're not really stock, and they're really fucking ugly. God, it feels good to finally say that.' 'Actually, a couple more things while I'm at it,' he continued. 'Budweiser tastes like crap, I wouldn't feed Armour meat products to my dog, and I have no idea what the fuck Ollie's Bargain Outlet even is.' 
1	According to a groundbreaking new scientific study released Tuesday by Harvard University, the U.S. population could very well have discovered a new and unprecedented level of not caring about Syria. 'Our research indicates that Americans may have stumbled upon an extreme degree of ignorance and disregard for the plight of dying Syrians that we never before thought humanly possible,' said lead researcher Dr. Henry Mason, noting that recent images of the Syrian government openly killing citizens in the nation's streets appeared to have no measurable effect on American psyches. 'At some pointpossibly after the mass murder of more than 100 men, women, and children in Houla, or when photos of mass graves began appearing across the Internetthe U.S. citizenry must have found previously untapped reserves of callousness, indifference, and self-absorption that were simply beyond the capacity of our research tools to quantify.' Mason confirmed that scientists expect apathy levels to rise sharply in further trial studies, primarily because 95 percent of Americans still don't know the president of Syria's name. 
2	Trump Releases His Plan For Second Amendment, Leaves Millions Furious A common criticism of Donald Trump has been that he tends to speak in vague generalities rather than offering specifics about where he stands on important issues. Now that he is the official president-elect, this is no longer the case. At least, he has become significantly more vocal when it comes to his stance on gun rights and the Second Amendment. He just released his official policy position on his campaign website. The Second Amendment to our Constitution is clear, the position paper begins. The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed upon. Period. Trump then goes on to explain that this right pre-exists both the government and the Constitution. In Trumps eyes, the government didnt create the right, nor can it take it away. Trump calls the right as Americas first freedom, designed to protect all the other rights we so value. Trump then calls for tougher enforcement of laws that exist today, rather than adding new gun control laws. He cites a successful program in Richmond, Virginia, that sentenced gun criminals to mandatory minimum five-year sentences in federal prison. Trump argues that crime rates will fall dramatically if criminals are taken off the streets for length periods of time. To address the many incidents of shooters with clear mental issues, Trump proposes fixing the nations broken mental health system by increasing treatment opportunities for the non-violent mentally ill. He also suggests removing people who pose a danger to themselves and others from the streets. Another point of contention has been gun and magazine bans, which Trump calls pointless and ineffective. Instead, his plan focuses on fixing the background check system already in place. Finally, Trump proposes a national right to carry and lifting the prohibition on military members carrying weapons on military bases and in recruiting centers. Trumps bold and fearless defense of our Second Amendment rights is part of the reason the National Rifle Association endorsed himand its good to see he is staying true to his promises. Liberals are outraged, of course, but that is to be expected. 
2	BREAKING: Manhattan on LockdownGod Help Us. According to reports, midtown Manhattan was on lockdown this past week after a man threw a suspicious package into a police car near Times Square. The man reportedly threw the package into the cruiser at around midnight before speeding away in his Chrysler SUV. Officers engaged in a chase around the entire city for about two hours. Finally, at 2 AM, police caught up to the man at Columbus Circle and placed the area on lockdown. The suspect was identified as 52-year-old Hector Meneses. He refused to exit his vehicle, telling negotiators that he had a bomb strapped to his chest and that he wanted to die. Six hours later, police used pepper spray to take Meneses down and arrest him. Fortunately, the man was placed into custody without incident. As it turns out, the suspicious package was actually a fake bomb, and Meneses did not have any explosives strapped to his chest. The incident had an immense impact, however. It caused extreme delays throughout the city and incited an immense about of fuse. We were sleeping by the water fountain when we heard a cop saying come out with your hands up, Jennifer Constanza told reporters. Next thing I know, a cop tells us to leave. They told us a suicide bomber was nearby. What do you think of these reports? 
1	Jimi Hendrix Mk. IV isn't talking to the media anymore. Seven years after he emerged from his biomold, the 28-year-old artist is tired of having his purpose in life endlessly debated by critics, managers, record-company executives, lawyers, and even fellow musicians. He knows what he was born to do: play left-handed synth guitar like a man possessed and bring the cold, artificial grooves of his trademark synth-funk to audiences the world over. But Warner-Geffen executives disagree. They say they know his purpose in life; they commissioned him, after all. Jimi was created at great expense at Celebirth Genetic Engineering, where his genetic material was pulled from the same 1965-1990 archives responsible for both sets of Dean triplets, the all-Buddy Holly band, and the recent rash of Elvises. Hendrix Mk. IV was born, Warner-Geffen says, to fulfill the studio-recording potential of the first Hendrix, who died after releasing only three albums. Executives say they wish that Jimi IV would contact them. They haven't heard from him in months. Jimi IV says he's got his own life to live. Warner-Geffen says they've got a contract. So who's right? One thing seems clear: If vat-grown celebrities continue to follow their own muses, it may spell the end of the entertainment industry's latest and most expensive case of sequel-itis. 'Many in the recording industry are beginning to believe that vat-grown artists are no longer worth the expense of revivification,' said David Miner-323, a talent-relations specialist at Murdoch-Merck-Viacom. 'The public's desire to find out whether a streak of talent was successfully reproduced in a vat-grown celebrity used to be enough to turn a profitbut not today.' According to Miner-323, public curiosity is why Kenny Rogers 2.0 was nominated for a Tony. It's why Re-Streisand still sells some of her poetry chapbooks. And it's why Hendrix II, III, and IV found some success at the beginning of their careers, despite their fascinations with ambient noise and meandering instrumental breaks. But the curiosity factor is quickly wearing off, Miner-323 said. And each subsequent generation of Jimi has become more unpredictable, perhaps indicating a breakdown in their genetic material. 'It looks like the ancient curse of entertainmentthe infamous 'mind of their own' problemmight keep everyone from taking a chance on bringing back anyone else,' Miner-323 said. The thousands of vat-grown entertainment-industry executives (including Miners 282-420) appear to be performing their duties with all the energy and creativity of their models, but there's only scant evidence that the practice works with celebrities. While the 36 Andy Warhols take obvious joy in their own reproduction, it seems that many artists are resistant to the idea of being a copy. 'I guess I just don't feel like acting,' said Sharon Stone Version 3.3, working in her Norfolk, VA glassblowing shop. 'Or modeling, either! At my weight, can you imagine? I mean, I'm glad Sony Pictures decided to make me. But the truth is, I couldn't act my way out of a paper bag.'

3	Federal Judge Rules People on No-Fly List Have a Constitutional Right to TravelNusrat Choudhury We represent 13 Americans, including four military veterans, who are blacklisted from flying. At oral argument in June on motions for partial summary judgment, we asked the court to find that the government violated our clients Fifth Amendment right to due process by barring them from flying over U.S. airspace and smearing them as suspected terrorists without giving them any after-the-fact explanation or a hearing at which to clear their names. The courts opinion recognizes for the first time that inclusion on the No-Fly List is a draconian sanction that severely impacts peoples constitutionally-protected liberties. It rejected the governments argument that No-Fly list placement was merely a restriction on the most convenient means of international travel. Such an argument ignores the numerous reasons an individual may have for wanting or needing to travel overseas quickly such as for the birth of a child, the death of a loved one, a business opportunity, or a religious obligation. According to the court, placement on the No-Fly List is like the revocation of a passport because both actions severely burden the right to international travel and give rise to a constitutional right to procedural due process: The court also found that the governments inclusion of our clients on the No-Fly List smeared them as suspected terrorists and altered their ability to lawfully board planes, resulting in injury to another constitutionally-protected right: freedom from reputational harm. The importance of these rulings is clear. Because inclusion on the No-Fly List harms our clients liberty interests in travel and reputation, due process requires the government to provide them an explanation and a hearing to correct the mistakes that led to their inclusion. But under the governments Glomar policy, it refuses to provide any information confirming or denying that our clients are on the list, let alone an after-the-fact explanation and hearing. The court has asked the ACLU and the government for more information about the No-Fly List redress procedure to help it decide the ultimate question of whether that system violates the Fifth Amendment right to due process. We are confident the court will recognize that the governments Glomar policy of refusing even to confirm or deny our clients No-Fly List status (much less actually providing the reasons for their inclusion in the list) is fundamentally unfair and unconstitutional.

1	The events of Sept. 11 are extremely difficult for a child to understand. What should you tell your child when he or she asks why this happened? Obviously, there's no easy answer, but the following is a start: Talking To Your Child About The WTC Attack 
1	In an address before the U.N. General Assembly Monday, President Bush called upon the international community to support his 'U.S. Does Whatever It Wants' plan, which would permit the U.S. to take any action it wishes anywhere in the world at any time. Bush addresses the U.N. General Assembly. 'As a shining beacon of freedom and democracy, America has inspired the world,' said Bush in his 25-minute address. 'With its military might, it has kept the peace and bravely defended the unalienable [sic] rights of millions around the globe. In this spirit, I call upon the world's nations to support my proposal to give America unrestricted carte blanche to remove whatever leaders, plunder whatever resources, and impose whatever policies it deems necessary or expedient.' According to top Bush Administration officials, if the measure is passed by the U.N.and possibly if it is notthe U.S. would immediately launch invasions of Iraq, North Korea, and Cuba; establish oil-drilling operations in Siberia; install nuclear-missile silos in Mongolia along the Chinese border; make English the official language of the planet; detain thousands of Middle Eastern nationals currently in the U.S. on temporary visas; begin each day with a moment of worldwide prayer; and prohibit Japan and Germany from manufacturing automobiles. In addition, no demonstration against U.S. actions by any foreign nation or individual would be permitted. Any such protestation would be deemed a high crime subject to a U.N. tribunal, with those found guilty flown to Texas for execution by lethal injection. 'After the unspeakable events of last Sept. 11, the U.S. was deeply touched by the outpouring of support and condolences from our neighbors and allies the world over,' Bush said. 'This kindness played a vital role in our national healing process, but, more importantly, it cemented our long-standing self-image as the country, with all other nations lumped together into a vague, foreign Other Place. I call upon you now to join us in our vision of America as the only country whose wishes matter.' Bush then turned to the pressing issue of Iraq. A sampling of the details of the Bush plan. 'Despite repeated American efforts to change the situation, Saddam Hussein defiantly continues his longtime policy of being the president of Iraq,' Bush said. 'The time has come for this man to step down, because we want him to.' In addition to enabling the U.S. to address foreign crises, Bush said his plan will help solve many of the nation's domestic problems. 'While there exist many grave threats to America abroad, we suffer still more problemsfrom unemployment to a lack of quality, affordable housingright here at home,' Bush said. 'After this resolution is passed, we will begin a 10-year project to clean out our nation's landfills and toxic-waste sites, transport the materials to Central American jungles, and build low-cost housing on the newly cleared land. This would solve the housing shortage, create thousands of construction jobs, and improve our nation's environment, all in one fell swoop.' As much of a boon as it would be to America, Bush stressed that his plan will also benefit the rest of the world, giving foreigners greater access than ever to American goods and entertainment. 'From the Beijing businessman who treats his family to dinner at KFC to the New Delhi textile worker who unwinds after a hard day's work by watching Friends, the world community has embraced our many wonderful cultural and commercial exports,' Bush said. 'As part of my plan, the U.S. will be allowed to export its products tariff-free, while other countries' goods will be subject to heavy taxes. This will help ensure that people the world over will continue to enjoy our computers, DVDs, and soft drinks, free of the clutter of competing non-American goods on their store shelves.' Bush concluded his speech by calling upon the U.N. to fly an extra-large U.S. flag outside its headquarters, high above the other member nations' flags. 'From the Monroe Doctrine to our ignoring of the Kyoto Treaty, America has always boldly defied the powers that be. Ever since its founding, this great nation has courageously asserted its will, bravely tuning out the objections of the other nations of the world,' Bush said at the speech's conclusion. 'I urge you today, do not let that legacy die. Allow us to continue our long-standing tradition of getting our way.' Global reaction to Bush's plan has been mixed, with 56 percent of Americans in support and 100 percent of non-Americans strongly opposed. 
2	Entitled Kaepernick Just Got What He deserved This past month, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has been making headlines for refusing to stand for the national anthem before a game. When confronted about his actions, Kaepernick insisted he was protesting oppression in the United States. 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 said of his protest. 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. While the 49ers refused to cut Kaepernick from their roster, Team USA hockey coach John Tortorella made it clear that he would handle things very differently if it were up to him. If any of my players sit on the bench for the national anthem, they will set there the rest of the game, Tortorella told reporters. When I asked Team USA coach John Tortorella about Kaepernick protest he told me If any of my players sit on Linda Cohn tweeted. Meanwhile, 49ers Coach Chip Kelly has admitted he never even discussed the protest with Kaepernick. What do you think of Tortorellas claims? 
1	NEW HAVEN, CTWith her son Jason safely away at college, Janet Pinsky fulfilled the traditional custom of any suburban mother by throwing away her son's baseball-card collection without asking his permission. 'Lord knows I didn't want to just toss seven years and over 1,300 cardsincluding the '86 Topps Traded Barry Bonds rookie, the rare limited-edition Michael Jordan Upper Deck, and the '91 Donruss Signature Series Ripken with hologram borderinto the trash, but I have certain obligations as a middle-class-mother archetype,' said Pinsky, who years earlier was helpless to do anything but disapprove of Jason's first girlfriend even though she seemed like a perfectly sweet girl, and whose own mother had no choice but to give away her brother's 1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle rookie. 'It's a shame I had to get rid of themsome of those cards would have been worth a lot of money someday.' In keeping with the convention, Pinsky will remain silent on the issue until Alex Rodriguez hits his 800th home run 10 years from now, at which point she will inform her excited son that the cards were taking up too much room in the basement and that he hadn't played with them in years, anyway. 
3	Agenda 21 Is Being Rammed Down The Throats Of Local Communities All Over AmericaMichael Snyder, Contributor The philosophy behind Agenda 21 is that our environmental problems are the number one problem that we are facing, and that those problems are being caused by human activity. Therefore, according to Agenda 21, human activity needs to be tightly monitored, regulated and controlled for the greater good. Individual liberties and freedoms must be sacrificed for the good of the planet. If you are thinking that this sounds like it is exactly the opposite of what our founding fathers intended when they established this nation, you would be on the right track. Those that promote the philosophy underlying Agenda 21 believe that human activity must be managed and that letting people make their own decisions is destructive and dangerous. Sadly, the principles behind Agenda 21 are being rammed down the throats of local communities all over America, and most of the people living in those communities dont even realize it. So how is this being done? Well, after Agenda 21 was adopted, an international organization known as the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) was established to help implement the goals of Agenda 21 in local communities. One thing that they learned very quickly was that the Agenda 21 label was a red flag for a lot of people. It tended to create quite a bit of opposition on the local level. So just because something does not carry the Agenda 21 label does not mean that it is not promoting the goals of Agenda 21. The goals of Agenda 21 are not only being implemented in the United States. This is a massive worldwide effort that is being coordinated by the United Nations. An article that was posted on RedState.com discussed some of the history of Agenda 21 The same year that Bill Clinton established the Presidents Council for Sustainable Development, the International Code Council was also created. The International Code Council has developed a large number of international codes which are intended to replace existing building codes all over the United States. The following is a list of these codes fromWikipedia These codes are very long and exceedingly boring, and those that write them know that hardly anyone will ever read them. And for the most part, they contain a lot of things that are contained in existing building codes or that are common sense. But a lot of poison has also been inserted into these codes. If you read them carefully, the influence of Agenda 21 is painfully obvious. Unfortunately, even most of the local politicians that are adopting these codes dont take the time to read them. Most of them just assume that they are updating their existing building codes. So what often happens is that there will be fights in local communities between citizens that are concerned about the encroachment of Agenda 21 and local politicians who regard such talk as nonsense. The following is an example of what is happening all over the nation It would be great if these codes were just about public safety. But that is simply not the case. Sadly, these codes are often used to fine or even imprison homeowners that havent done anything wrong. Sometimes code violations are even used as justification to legally steal property from law-abiding homeowners. A post on the Freedom Reigns Radio blog detailed some of the things that are often done in the name of code enforcement These codes restrict what homeowners can do with their own properties in thousands of different ways. If you rebel against one of the codes, the penalties can be extremely harsh. And there is often selective enforcement of these codes. That means that they will leave most people alone but they will come down really hard on people that they do not like. You could even end up with a SWAT team on your doorstep. Just ask some of the people who have been through this kind of thing. Even if you have your mortgage completely paid off, that doesnt mean that you really own your property. If you dont pay your taxes and obey the codes, you could lose your property very rapidly. Unfortunately, you can probably expect this to get a whole lot worse in the years ahead. Our society is shifting from one that cherishes individual liberties and freedoms to one that is fully embracing collectivism. So our politicians will likely be making even more of our decisions for us as the years move forward. Do any of you out there have any code violation horror stories to share? If so, please share them with us by posting a comment below This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

1	Fran Greaves, wife of Charlotte Observer restaurant critic Paul Greaves, said Monday that she tries to make the best lasagna she possibly can. 'I made this gourmet lasagna completely by the book,' Greaves said. 'I bought fresh ingredients from the farmer's market, I made the pasta from scratch with semolina flour. But I just can't shake the feeling that it still won't be good enough for Paul.' Greaves' husband has previously been disappointed in his wife's chicken marsala, veal schnitzel, and lemon chiffon cake. 
3	Paper With Ink On ItHenry Harding And that sucks. My landlord wants some paper with ink on it. The grocery store will settle for some average, circular metal with a random head on one side but prefers paper with ink on it, and I have none of either. Less than none thanks to -. Zero is not as low as you can go. Pepsi lied. I thought 1 apples was a stupid idea but I took a music degree, not economics. I could ask my boss for extra paper with ink on it but a multi-national just moved into town. Now the market is angry with him too. Suddenly he has so little paper with ink on it that Ive been laid off. The bank, though, they will swap some special paper with ink on it for nothing more than a promise. Its a bargain. I get the special paper with ink on it straight away and the moment that happens I become immediately more attractive to the opposite sex, probably to live on a white sand, palm fringed beach. Ive seen the adverts. Its as effective as beer. I might even get a free pen. Free! Now I can pay my landlord, I can feed my children, I can feed the insatiable monster of consumerism that has been jammed violently into my psyche, like a bile pipe rammed into the gut of a live bear, since I was a small child myself. Ill slowly forget that those bears, given a chance, commit suicide from the pain and have to be forcibly restrained, immobile for life, to keep the bile flowing. Ill be surrounded by encouragement to forget that. Bears live a long time, though. I could write some music instead, after all, I have collected a lot of paper with ink on it so I could do just that but hey, who doesnt want new sneakers at $300 a pop? Who doesnt need a 64 bit quad core computer, that would have been a government-only super computer only ten years ago, just to watch YouTube? And who doesnt like being super popular because they have paper with ink on it? Money. Paper with ink on it, illuminated numbers on screens and signatures on dead trees are all just a means of exchange. Ridiculous, or otherwise they are nothing more than a promise from one side to another. About 1100 AD King Henry 1st of England introduced notched sticks, known as tally sticks, as a form of currency. The Inuits used knotted chords, the Sumerians made marks on clay tablets. Everything from shells, leaves and even bones have been used before now. Just think, if we still used shells then everybody on the coast would be loaded. Maybe. Probably weirder systems have occurred before now, only to be lost in the mists of history. The method itself is artificial, man-made and, when analysed, inherently ridiculous. And yet we run our very lives on that system, hanging on every pundits word, every market view on confidence, and every random number regurgitated by the machines. But in reality, at the core, it is a simple idea. The constant in exchange contracts is trust between people. The exchange is essentially a promise and without trust no promissory system can work. The more complicated the system becomes, the less trust we have in it. Sometimes that may be because we just dont understand it any more. Nobody gives easy trust to that which they dont understand. Sometimes, though, the trust breaks down because the system is cheating, introducing complexity in order to obfuscate, hide and steal. Sometimes, maybe now, its both. Have you really read the myriad legalese small print you have given your promise to on bank accounts, auto insurance or health care? Would you understand them if you had? Today the algorithm is the king of financial trading. Think of them as the deceptive bastard cousins of illuminated numbers on screens. They are ruthlessly effective at making a profit, when they work, and fiendishly complicated. In trading houses today youre as likely to meet a Ph.D. physicist as a barrow boy from the East End or a wide boy from the Bronx. People can make a few trades in a few minutes; algorithms can make a few thousand in mere microseconds. Speed is of such vital importance that banks will place their servers as close to the exchange computers as possible. Sometimes the tiny fraction of a second advantage a Wall Street based computer has over a New Jersey computer is enough to make a killing. And no one really understands how it works. Sometimes, however briefly, an algorithm will do the unexpected. Its still just as powerful but its having the digital equivalent of a mental breakdown. The results can be price spikes, market crashes and have sometimes been a very real threat to the survival of the company that unleashed them. All in a few microseconds. There is a pervasive feeling in the West today, exemplified by movements such as Occupy and UK Uncut, that the market can no longer be trusted. Some question if it ever could. It is a feeling that the promise is obtained through deceit and coercion, that the process is no longer even human let alone intelligible. It is a feeling that those not in the West have known for decades. Sometimes centuries. The market would argue that this is simply advantage but an algorithm, by its nature, is amoral. People, in the majority of cases, are not. Indeed, amorality is so rare in a balanced society that we make laws to penalise the aberrant few that engage in it. Social laws that is for markets we seem to ignore those controls. The term psychopath is only a badge of honour to another psychopath; and despite their media prevalence, they are rare. That they exist, and have an extensive, undue, negative impact because of their behaviour, is true. That they are the majority is not even close to true. Some argue that the way the markets run themselves encourages the psychopathic personality, that it even rewards and values it as a profit generator. A food riot in Djibouti is irrelevant when considering whether to virtually hoard rice and wheat on Wall Street, especially if you care little about starving people. That may have been true once, it may even still be true now, but that no longer matters. The algorithm is king and the algorithm does not know what emotion or morality are. They exist to perform orders, just like the Nuremberg defence used by the Nazis, to make profits regardless of any other consideration. They do nothing else because they cannot do anything else, regardless of consequences. Maybe a deregulated market is not such a good idea after all? I still need some paper with ink on it, but Im no longer sure that I want it. 
1	Lee Brandt, 11, a fifth-grader at North Woods Elementary School, announced Monday that he and his friends plan to spend Friday night smoking cigarettes. Brandt (center) shares a cigarette with two of his fellow new smokers. 'Tommy [Stovall] said he stole a pack from his mom's carton of Virginia Slims,' Brandt said. 'He said she goes through them so fast she'd never notice one missing. He's supposed to instant-message me after school if he could get some. And he said if he can't swipe some from his mom, he knows where his sister hides hers. Either way, we're set.' The smoking is set to take place at 8 p.m. in Hanrahan Park, a site chosen for conduciveness to furtive, pre-adolescent smoking. 'The park has this thing, it's like a solid-wood hamster wheel,' Brandt said. 'I figure that'd be the best place to go, because you can't see it from the street, and we can still smoke there even if it starts raining. It's either that or underneath the big slide, which isn't as hidden. Plus, it smells really bad under there, so that's a last resort.' Though Brandt and Stovall have smoked an estimated 10 cigarettes each in the last six months, they are excited to have the opportunity to devote a full evening to the endeavor. 'Before, Tommy could only swipe an already open pack from his mom because he didn't know where she hid the cartons,' Brandt said. 'We'd have to save them for special occasions like the sixth-grade dance or sneaking out of Sunday school. This time, though, we'll be able to take our time and really focus on the smoking.' In addition to Stovall, Brandt said he is expecting friends Rob Marchand and Patrick Ayler, as well as class tomboy Sheri Eiland, to show up. 'Rob invited Sheri because he's had a crush on her since fourth grade. And Tommy never does anything without his little sidekick Patrick,' Brandt said. 'I just hope we have enough cigarettes, with so many people coming. We should be okay, though: Patrick's probably only gonna smoke one or two, because he's a big wuss and practically had to be forced into coming. Me, I'll smoke at least five or six.' Even though the young smokers have mutually sworn to keep the event a secret, a few leaks have occurred. 'Marisa [Ebenkamp] asked what Lee and I were talking about at lunch last Wednesday,' Stovall said. 'I told her we were talking about smoking, and she freaked. I shouldn't be surprised. Marisa's a total loser and acts like a little baby, with all that 'N Stink crap she's into. I just hope she doesn't tell anyone. I'd hate to miss out on smoking just because she can't keep her stupid mouth shut.' Another near-setback occurred last Thursday, when Stovall's mother forbade him from hanging out with Brandt. 'Mom thinks Lee's a bad influence, but everything's cool,' Stovall said. 'As long as we make all our plans at school or over the Internet, she'll never find out. Besides, me and Lee don't hang out that much, just mainly when we try to get cigarettes or when we want to chuck rocks at that closed-up 7-Eleven.' Despite the careful planning leading up to the event, Brandt said the evening's activities are relatively unstructured. 'We'll probably just hang out and, you know, smoke,' Brandt said. 'Maybe we'll compare cigarettes we've smoked before. Like that open pack of Kools somebody left on the table at Wendy's. And maybe there'll even be some teenagers in the park we can trade with.' Brandt, who is certain he can avoid getting caught by the police officers who patrol the park after nightfall, is equally confident that his parents will not find out about his illicit endeavor. 'I snagged a bottle of Febreeze from the hall closet and put it in my backpack,' Brandt said. 'That should cover up the smell. If that doesn't work, we've already decided to tell our parents we were hanging out right near the smoking section at Denny's.'

3	Forbidden Land Of Fukushima A Photo JournalRichard Wilcox, Ph.D. Locations visited included Nakaso, a seaside town on the southern border of Fukushima just north of Ibaraki; Hisanohama, a fishing village about 14 km south of FNPP#1; and finally Hirano town (ghost town) and J-village which acts as Tepco worker headquarters and is about 12 km from the NFPP#1 reactors. When we arrived at Nakaso my dosimeter (Terra-P made in the Ukraine) measured normal background radiation. However, after we had dropped off our bags at the hotel and traveled farther north, radiation levels increased. *(I have used the dosimeter on a commercial flight where it measured 2 3 microsieverts per hour which is normal at high altitudes; and in the US where background radiation was the similar to most of Tokyo, about 0.1 0.15 microsieverts per hour.) Hirano town itself had been decontaminated pushing radiation levels back to normal. The small town offered beautiful countryside vistas of the Abukuma mountain range. However, as soon as we reached the outskirts of the town levels jumped to 0.52 micro sieverts per hour, about four or five times the level considered safe for long-term habitation. Background radiation in this area (outside the decontaminated zone of Hirano town) ranged from 0.45 to over 0.5 microsieverts per hour. Most of radiocesium in the coastal sediments is incorporated into lithogenic fractions, and this incorporation is almost irreversible. Accordingly, the biological availability of sedimentary radiocesium is relatively low, but continuous monitoring of radiocesium inmarine biota is highly recommended because significant amounts of radiocesium have been accumulated in the sediment (2). Michio Aoyama, a senior researcher of marine chemistry at the Japan Meteorological Agencys Meteorological Research Institute, estimated that 30 billion becquerels of radioactive cesium and another 30 billion becquerels of radioactive strontium continue to leak into the outer ocean every day (3). Richard Wilcox holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Studies from a social science, holistic perspective. He teaches at a number of universities in the Tokyo, Japan area.

3	Missouri Voters to Consider State Privacy Amendment With National Implicationsselfnews Post Amendment 9 would give electronic data and communications the same state constitutional protections as persons, homes, papers and effects. This would eliminate any constitutional ambiguity surrounding electronic data and specifically bar state agencies from accessing it without a warrant in most cases. By prohibiting state agents from accessing warrantless electronic data, it would make such data gathered by federal agencies such as the NSA and shared with state and local law enforcement inadmissible in state criminal proceedings. The law has not kept pace with new technologies. As a result, both state and federal governments claim broad authority to track innocent peoples movements, purchases, reading habits and sometimes even private conversations, all without a warrant. Our correspondence and other papers dont become less sensitive simply because we store them in electronic form. Americans shouldnt face a forced choice between using modern technologies and protecting their privacy. Amendment 9 would make it clear that in the same way the government must get a warrant to read peoples postal mail, it also must obtain a warrant to read peoples email. Federal courts havent proved much better. Judges generally defer to the Congress and the president when they justify actions as necessary due to national security issues. The law concerning electronic communications remains far from settled, and we simply cannot depend on the federal government to protect our privacy. While state action like Missouris cannot stop the NSA from collecting information illegally, it can protect people in that state from its practical effect. Along with barring state agents from engaging in illegal surveillance, it would prohibit state and local law enforcement from accessing warrantless data, even if federal courts ultimately place their seal of approval on mass surveillance. States can legally set a higher bar for privacy protection than the federal standard. This fact alone makes state actions such as Amendment 9 a powerful and effective tool for protecting basic privacy rights. If Missouri voters approve Amendment 9, it will set the stage for similar initiatives in other states. Every state except Delaware can amend their state constitution through a legislatively referred referendum. Missouri offers a blueprint. We have the potential to blanket the country with constitutional provisions specifically extending privacy protection to electronic information and data. This would ensure state-level respect for privacy rights and address a practical effect of federal spying, regardless of how things play out in Congress or in federal courts. OffNow plans to draft model legislation for introduction in state legislatures during the 2015 session. Our goal: get similar referendums on the ballot and before voters in as many states as possible. 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 Most Dangerous Greeting Your Child May Ever ReceiveChristina England As we are aware, the governments and pharmaceutical companies are always searching for new ways to push vaccinations onto unsuspecting parents. The earlier they can target a childs parents, the better they like it. One of the vaccination initiatives being used by twenty-seven states across the US is to send every new parent a congratulations on the birth of your baby card. According to reports, governors from twenty-seven states across the US have teamed up with Hallmark Greeting Cards to send every new parent a card following the birth of their baby. The card includes a personal message from the governor of their state, a detachable growth chart and an up-to-date immunization schedule. This vaccination initiative attempts to make parents fully aware which vaccinations their newborn baby should receive. The Healthy Home Economist, reporting on the story, stated, Having the cards actually come from state governors themselves is the new twist which gives the programs friendly pressure to vaccinate a more personal and authoritative touch. [1] With Love, From Your State Government When it began, the immunization rates for children up to age 2 in Missouri and Kansas were roughly 45 percent and 52 percent, respectively. Immunization rates for the youngest citizens in those states now hover around 76 percent, according to the programs website. [2] Beth Kaplan, a spokesperson with the state of Wisconsins Division of Public Health, whose state vaccination compliance rates have reached as high as 84 percent since the implementation of this program, believes that this initiative is just one way to create awareness about the importance of vaccinations for children. She says, the program is one of many things we do to encourage the vaccination of children. Your Tax Dollars At Work For Big Pharma I am sure that one question on many peoples lips is, Who exactly is paying for these cards? Sadly, you are. According to reports, the taxpayers are footing the bill for the implementation of Hallmarks For Americas Babiesproject and it does not come cheap. Although Hallmark Greeting Cards is supplying the cards and paying for the printing costs, an initiative which they proudly boast on their website, the state of Florida alone has budgeted $10,000 for the distribution of these cards, which has been hailed as an excellent program. [3] The cards are very attractive, in pastel colors, with added bunnies and flowers for effect. I am sure that most new parents would be very moved by this gesture. The Mid America Immunization Coalition has been so impressed by Hallmarks wonderful work that in 2010 they awarded Hallmark the Sending the Very Best Message Award. In presenting the award, coalition director Deb Bumgardner said, Hallmark is definitely one of the behind-the-scenes, unsung heroes in the fight to raise immunization rates in the United States. [4] Heroes is Not A Term I Would Use Behind-the-scenes are definitely the real key words, and thats where we are going to take a look in order to tell you the whole story of these unsung heroes. In 2006, Hallmark Cards joined forces with UNICEF to form a partnership. Today Hallmark Cards is the exclusive creator, manufacturer and distributor for all UNICEF greeting cards and gifts sold in the United States, giving UNICEF more than $10 million in royalty payments from the sale of their cards and gifts. The U.S. Fund for UNICEF receives 15 percent of every net wholesale shipment of UNICEF Hallmark products. According to Hallmark Cards, UNICEF works in more than 150 countries to keep children alive and safe. The organization focuses on providing children with clean water, food, medicine, vaccines, and education. [5] Remember, UNICEF is also responsible for testing vaccines on children in the developing world. This year I found them linked to forty children paralyzed in a small village in Africa after they received the test vaccine MenAfrivac. [6] UNICEF also was involved in the testing of the pentavalent vaccine Quinvaxem, which caused the deaths of 26 children across the developing world. [7] In 2012, Hallmark, in partnership with UNICEF, won the Fastest Growing Family Business Award, sponsored by Barclays, at the Family Business Awards. [8] According to the Family Business Awards website, Hallmark made a record year turnover amounting to a massive 4.4million, an increase of 83% since 2009. Hallmark also commissioned Nottinghams Together Agency to design the UNICEF UK New Range catalog, which echoes Leo Burnetts UNICEF international theme and promoted the charitys new line of products in 2012. [9] Look Who Else is Holding Hands with Hallmark As well as their links to UNICEF, Hallmark Cards has interesting links to other organizations which need to be exposed. The chairman of Hallmark Cards is Donald J. Hall, and the current president and CEO of Hallmark Cards is David E. Hall. Both men are trustees to a company called MRIGlobal. [10, page 14] MRIGlobal offers world-class expertise and experience in bioanalytical model development, testing, and validationa complete array of services for the development and licensing of new vaccines. They also supply government and industrial clients with high-purity, reference grade chemicals. Their website states: MRIGlobals work in the development and testing of human and veterinary vaccine candidates encompasses safety, toxicity, potency, efficacy, and vaccine formulation stability. [11] This indicates that this company is in the business of testing vaccines on both humans and animals. Interestingly, MRIGlobal also has been linked to PATH and the FDA. One of MRIGlobals recent projects was in partnership with PATH. [12] The project involved providing support to biotechnology companies that are developing influenza vaccines that can be accessible and affordable for low-resource countries. Despite MRIGlobals noteworthy claim that their work encompasses safety, toxicity, potency, efficacy, and vaccine formulation stability, children who have received vaccines from their partner organizations, like PATH and UNICEF, are still suffering many adverse reactions from these vaccinations. PATH, an organization which claims to help communities worldwide break longstanding cycles of poor health, was involved recently with the testing of tens of thousands of tribal girls in India, leaving them without appropriate follow-up care, as well as the vaccination trials in Chad, Africa, in which many children were paralyzed following vaccination. [13] Selling Out to Survive MRIGlobal is also involved in licensing medication and vaccinations for the FDA and the CDC, claiming to maintain all necessary licenses and certifications to conduct safe, defensible studies on a host of diverse materials, from pharmaceuticals to chemical agents. MRIGlobal operates laboratories for the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Department of Defense. The company has been granted numerous licenses by the US government as well as internationally. [14] This leaves me asking two questions: The only answer I can come up with is money, and lots of it. The leaders of Hallmark, one of the largest privately owned companies in the US, may have found a unique way to survive in a troubling economic times, using their skills and knowledge to tap into the lucrative vaccine business, as their greeting card endeavors have suffered stagnant sales and declining profits for years. [16] Conclusion What appeared at first glance to be an act of charity on behalf of Hallmark Cards now appears to be something far more sinister. Hallmark Cards is doing more than making a tax-deductible donation to the government. In addition to recommending that parents keep up to date with their childrens vaccine schedules (because the corporate leaders will profit from increased vaccination rates), they are also heavily linked to the testing of vaccines on innocent animals and humans. Once highly regarded as an organization of love and caring, Hallmark Cards now has tarnished its trademark crown with what can only be described as deep connections to several of the largest pharmaceutical organizations known to man. So, are Hallmarks intentions as charitable as they would like us to believe? It is clear that Hallmark Cards is affiliated with MRIGlobal, the US government and Canadian government, UNICEF, PATH, FDA and the CDC. The common denominator linking all of these groups together is vaccination. Far from being the kindly souls they first appear to be and making sure that children stay strong and healthy, I believe that the leaders of Hallmark Greeting Cards are laughing all the way to the bank. Are you going to let them trick you into vaccinating your child, without doing any research, just because they sent you a card?

2	Theyre All Racists... What Oprah Wants Done To All Conservatives After her role on The Butler, Oprah Winfrey has been given many opportunities to discuss racism. Such was the case when she recently appeared on a British television show for an interview. Its gotten better, Winfrey admitted, but when on to add that as long as people can be judged by the color of their skin, the problem is not solved. Winfrey then went on to make the shocking claim that the problem will never been solved until the generations of people promoting racism die. After hearing that comment, interviewer Will Compertz immediately attempted to shift the conversation to President Barack Obama. Has it ever crossed your mind that some of the treatment that Obama and the challenges hes facedif because hes African-American? Compertz asked. And if he wasnt African-Americanif he was a white guythis wouldnt have happened? He wouldnt be treated in quite the same way? He wouldnt have to deal with quite the same confrontations? Winfrey went on to explain her view that the level of disrespect for the officeoccurs in some cases and maybe even many cases because Obama is African-American. One of many problems with Oprahs statement is that it completely absolves the president of any responsibility for his actions, and gives liberals an argument that anything conservatives say is racist. Lets not forget that the president has consistently misled Americansincluding Congressto fuel his own agenda. What do you think of Oprahs comments? Tell us below!

Recently another elitist pedophile ring has been exposed with the bust of 44-year-old mother of four Anna Gristina, charged with running a prostitution ring out of a New York apartment that relied on police protection to provide wealthy clients with minors for sexual encounters. Pop Culture Perversion Attack on Children The children of the world are being attacked and degraded by the mainstream media and entertainment, which is almost entirely controlled by only six corporations. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Marilyn Manson, The Eagles, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Eminem, Snoop Dog, Ozzy Osborne, AC/DC and many more have ties to Satanism. These artists knowingly corrupt children by encouraging them to engage in drug and alcohol use, promiscuity, and other life destroying actions. These movies destroy our minds and souls as we entertain ourselves seeing others tortured, maimed, toyed with and killed. Violence toward children is rising, as the violence that children are exposed to through media is also increasing. It is a recipe for creating a culture that is obsessed with themes of extinction. Could it be that this is exactly the plan that elites are attempting to fulfill?

3	Understand, create, changeTim Marshall Would you agree it is apparent there is something going on in the collective mind of humanity right now? With information so readily available to us, we have been able to stir the consciousness of humanity in a way that has allowed for a greater awakening. As we become more aware of hidden information we begin to organize that information critically, which now has created a consensus of thought that is spreading like wild fire. Another way to look at it: Picture society on a boat in the middle of the ocean, the boat is slowly sinking, and the captain is reassuring the passengers that everything will be fine. Meanwhile, more and more water keeps coming on board. There is a life raft on the side of the boat, although the captain has said specifically for no one to touch it. The vast majority of the passengers believe the captain still has the situation under control, and think the people getting in the life raft are crazy for disobeying him. After the captain discovers that some of the passengers have started loading into the life raft, he immediately tells the other passengers to stop them. His loyal obedient passengers try to stop the passengers from getting in the life raft at the expense of everyone on board. There is, and always has been enough room for everyone on the life raft. The passengers getting on the life raft are the mavericks, the messengers, and the catalyst for change. They know the boat is sinking and the captain is insane, so they want to get off of the boat. They also know that once they leave on the raft, unless they have enough people with them they will surely not survive. The loyal obedient passengers are the captains army, they worship the captain because he gives them direction and security. They are willing to risk their lives for the captain than ever betray him. The onlookers are the creators. They hold the power of change. The situation on the boat is a reflection of what is going on right now in society. It is a battle that will ultimately determine the future of humanity. Will humanity go down with the ship and lose everything, or will humanity gain full control of the resources available and save civilization? It is up to us: We are all in charge of our own destiny, and it is a matter of not sitting back and watching, but following what truly resonates with us, without fear. It is when the masses decide to take charge and change their lives in a direction they know is the right one, and lose the false dependency on a system that has failed them time and time again, will society be able to begin to rebuild. It is a matter of taking control of ones self, regardless of what anyone else thinks, and break free of the shackles that are holding one back from reaching ones full potential. Humanity is at a point in time where we all have the option to jump on the safety boat, drift throughout the sea until we reach a place where we can work on rebuilding a better society. Some might think we will repeat the mistakes of the past and will lose touch with what we are trying to achieve. This might be true, but we will never progress if we arent willing to try. We are a collective being, we are ready to achieve what we want to receive, and we are ready to let go of negative influences and destructive ways of thinking to find a greater purpose of humanity. Lets rise up during this critical time of growth and become what we are meant to be. Great people, representing a greater cause of progression as an intelligence in a wonderfully expansive, and dynamic playground, we call the universe.

This Is Brutal [VIDEO] Michelle Obama outraged the American public when she sat down with Oprah Winfrey in her final one-on-one interview as first lady and used the opportunity to bash Donald Trump, claiming that the country has lost hope since his election. We feel the difference now. See, now, we are feeling what not having hope feels like, Michelle said. 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? Of course, Michelles statement completely disregarded the millions of people who actually voted for Trump and feel hopeful for the first time in eight years.

1	Noting the incredibly similar circumstances surrounding all of the cases, legal sources confirmed Tuesday that countless copycat criminals across the country continue to imitate the infamous Blackjack Collins robbery of a Pittsburgh-area liquor store in 1822. We still see thousands of individuals each year who have clearly patterned their heists after Blackjack, an early American criminal who masked his face in cloth, walked into Johnsons Spirit & Tobacco Shoppe brandishing a firearm, and screamed at the clerk, Give me the money! said criminal profiler Paul Gorman, adding that the meticulously recreated homages are typically executed by thosejust like Collinswho seek to quickly increase their personal wealth. And just as Blackjack fled the scene on horseback, we find that nearly every modern-day culprit uses some form of transportation to make their getaway, a hallmark of the initial crime that has repeated itself over and over for nearly 200 years. Gorman added that an equally strong trend exists among those carrying forth the legacy of mid-18th-century Fort Edward, NY man Ira Brouwer, who burned his log cabin down for the insurance money. 
1	After serving 12 years in the position, Motley, the official White House Jester, was beheaded Tuesday after delivering a poorly received jape about the spiraling national debt before President and Mrs. Obama. 'For crimes of great arrogance and cheek, His Idiocy the White House Jester has been sentenced to a swift demise,' White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said following the death sentence. 'Let it be heard over every city and suburb of this land that the National Debt is no topic for frivolity, and the mailed hand of Obama shall smite all offenders.' Motley, who used his last words to beg in vain for Obama's mercy, was executed on the North Lawn at the strike of noon. Obama, a wit in his own right, warned that any guest who further tested his patience would 'be heading' for trouble. According to witnesses, the controversial performance took place late Monday evening, when Obama announced that his head was weary following a day of closed-door meetings with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, and the chief of the White House Avenary. Having retired to the Great Hall, Obama clapped his hands and called for feasting and joviality. Initial performances by a madrigal group, marionette puppeteers, and Faith Hill proved popular with the First Family, but the festivities reportedly turned sour after Motley was summoned to lighten Obama's spirits. 'At first, Motley did greatly please the President with his cavorting and merrymaking,' White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod told reporters. 'He recited droll quatrains about the Tea Party movement to much enjoyment. But yea, verily, his impression of [U.S. Secretary of Education] Arne Duncan, with oversized costume teeth, earned the heartiest roars of laughter by far, and perhaps emboldened Motley past the brink of decorum.' Tensions rose when a happily beaming Obama demanded to be riddled. After a string of well-received topical posers, Motley asked the following: A pocket-hole that grew so large, A giant couldn't eat it. A cache of gold that never was, But nonetheless depleted. When the President confessed to being stumped, Motley revealed the answer to be 'the National Debt, of course.' Witnesses said Obama's mood immediately darkened and, pounding on the arm of the Presidential Throne, he demanded new jesting. After nervously clearing his throat, Motley was heard to ask, 'Wherefore is the National Debt like a sprouting leaf of spinach?' When a glowering Obama demanded the answer, Motley stated, 'For it shall rapidly grow into something our children cannot bear.' At this, Obama reportedly dropped the large turkey leg in his hand and signaled to nearby Secret Service agents, who seized Motley and dragged him, pleading, to the Executive Dungeon. The President exited the Hall in a fury, and within minutes had drafted an order of execution by beheading. 'The First Executioner completed his task in one true swing,' said White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who presided over the assembled crowd of some 20,000 onlookers. 'His head has been spitted on a pike and displayed facing E Street as a warning to they who would mock our most precipitously extended federal debt.' In his career, Motley entertained three presidents, capered at five White House Correspondents' Dinners, and hosted a season of Comedy Central's Premium Blend. He is the first sitting White House Jester to be executed since the 1998 drawing and quartering of his predecessor, Dennis Miller, on the National Mall. Analysts said that while Motley was an eminently skilled wit, he erred in taking on such a sensitive issue, overstepping the satirical authority normally afforded the Office of White House Jester: In fact, the last Jester to survive a debt joke was Harding Administration Jester Chauncey, who spent five days in the stocks by the Reflecting Pool. Others placed the blame squarely on Obama's famously volatile temper. 'Only a month after murdering the Presidential Physician for telling him to quit smoking and jog more, Obama has again displayed his wrath with bloodshed,' Washington Post reporter Brian Halloran said. 'He must control himself better if he wants to be remembered with a flattering cognomen at the end of his term.'

2	What Michelle Obama Was Just Caught Doing Right Before Christmas Is Unforgivable [VIDEO] According to reports from CNS News, first lady Michelle Obama just made the disgusting decision to shame Santa Clause while reading the childrens classic at a hospital. Why? The illustration showed Old Saint Nick smoking a pipe. Michelle was reportedly at the Childrens National Health System to read The Night Before Christmas along with Ryan Seacrest. As the pair were reading Clement Clarke Moores childrens classic, they decided to throw in some classic commentary of their own. The stump of a pipe I think St. Nick gave up smoking, Michelle told the audience. This was written way back in the day, Seacrest added. But way back in the day, the first lady continued: The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, and the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath. Later, when Seacrest was reading about Santas little round belly that shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly, he made jokes that he was not fat-shaming Santa. While we understand the first lady discouraging children from smoking, this seems a highly inappropriate time, especially since she has already faced criticism for disrespecting Christmas traditions. What do you think? Are you excited for the Obamas to be out of the White House once and for all? 
2	BREAKING: Ted Cruz Announces Who Might Be His VP Texas Senator Ted Cruz is set to make a major announcement on Wednesday in Indiana regarding his campaign for the Republican Partys nomination for president. Many are viewing this announcement as a last-ditch effort to save his campaign, which is struggling behind legendary businessman Donald Trump. Cruz has announced that he has selected a running mate to join him on a ticket as the potential vice president. That running mate will be former HP CEO Carly Fiorina, who ran a strong campaign early in the primary season. She was forced to retire her campaign. Supporters of Cruz are likely to support the decision. Fiorina has established herself as a smart businesswoman. She exudes a confidence that is hard to beat on the trail. Donald Trump, of course, was quick to dismiss the announcement, telling the hosts of Fox and Friends that, She had one good debate on the smaller stage. Then she went up in the polls and every week she went down, down, down, Trump continued. She ended up with a small number and had to get out. He shouldnt be naming anyone now. To me, it looks ridiculous. What do you think? Will Fiorina as a running mate give Cruz the bump he needs to beat Trump? 
3	Battleground Chicago Highlights War and Peace HypocrisyStephen Lendman, Contributor Baton-wielding cops confronted protesters violently. Official policy is swing first, ask questions later, and blame victims for police thuggishness. More on that below. On May 9, a National Writers Union (NWU) Chicago Chapter press release said: In 1968, the Democratic Party came to the City to nominate a president. What happened then became a part of Chicagos history: a massive public uprising of protest against an unjust war and a corrupt political system that created a massive local reaction within the Citys police department. Violence and chaos resulted. Forty-four years later things went from bad to worse. Imperial wars rage out of control. Obama, the peace candidate, itches for more. Belligerent nations never run out of targets or reasons to attack them. The business of America is war. Congressional affirmation assured it. In September 2001, Congress approved the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) for the use of United States Armed Forces against those responsible for the recent attacks launched against the United States. Carte blanche war-making authority was granted. Americas war on terror began. It rages out of control at home and abroad. (1) the United States is engaged in an armed conflict with al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and associated forces and that those entities continue to pose a threat to the United States and its citizens, both domestically and abroad; (2) the President has the authority to use all necessary and appropriate force during the current armed conflict with al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and associated forces pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40). As commander in chief, presidents can wage wars anywhere at their discretion. One follows another. Congressional budgets prioritize them. Rule of law principles are spurned. So are democratic values. Vital domestic needs go begging. Thousands of Chicagoans want current policies changed. So do millions nationwide and globally. Pacifism is unacceptable against sovereign evil. Orwell said in times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. His 1984 newspeak slogan was: War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength. NWU added that it Defends the First Amendment: No Restrictions On Peaceful Public Communication, Assembly and Dissent. Our constitutional rights are vastly more essentialmore criticalthan any efforts to secure the comforts and the privilege for the elites gathering for the NATO meetings. We are appalled at the efforts by Mayor Rahm Emanuel and his Administration, backed by the Chicago City Council, to limit the ability of people to speak truth to power, and to be able to indicate the depth and intensity of their disgust at the on-going wars initiated around the world by NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and the U.S. Government, under control by both the Democrats and Republicans, who will soon be meeting in Chicago. Policymakers turn a blind eye to public demands and needs. Street protests erupt. Cops confront them violently. Injuries and arrests follow. On Sunday, the Chicago Tribune headlined Injuries, arrests in clashes between protesters and police, saying: Confrontations led to dozens of injuries and arrests. For two hours, police, in full riot gear, faced off against fed up protesters wanting change. Blocking free access to public streets ignited things. Cops decide they know best. They make the rules. Constitutional freedoms dont matter. Disagree and get bludgeoned. On Sunday evening, a pitched battle between an overwhelming number of police and several hundred protesters occurred near McCormick Place, NATO headquarters. Despite permit permission to rally and march, organizer Andy Thayer told protesters: The police are going to move us off the street. Weve been telling you this would happen. We went to a lot of trouble to make sure this march was a safe and peaceful march Police ordered protesters as follows: You are hereby ordered to disperse. If you fail to comply you may be arrested or be subjected to other police action. From then on, things deteriorated. Perhaps cops were spoiling for a fight. Who can know. Either way, they got one. In full battle gear, theyre advantaged. They dont hold back. Lined up four-deep, they confronted protesters violently. Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy walked behind them. Protesters were struck and fell. A nearby detention area was readied in advance. Police vans and buses were positioned nearby. Dozens were handcuffed and arrested. Secret Service agents detained several others. Earlier in Grant Park, Mary Kirkland told protesters that the Defense Department said her son, Derrick, was killed in action. They start with lies and continue with lies, she told them. Im proud to be here. Iraq and Afghan veterans also came. Some spoke against wars. Around 40 others gave back medals. They handed them to NATO representatives. John Kerry returned his earlier. In November 1971, he expressed disgust about Americas Vietnam War, saying: I gave back, I cant remember, six, seven, eight, nine medals. In April 1971, he testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He belonged to Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW). He told committee members: He came to discuss an investigation involving over 150 honorably discharged and many very highly decorated veterans. They later confessed to war crimes. He recounted harrowing examples. (They) personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blew up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages (like) Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravages of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country. He called Americas involvement in Southeast Asia the height of criminal hypocrisy. He now chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. In 2001 and 2003, he supported imperial wars on Afghanistan and Iraq. In May 2011, he, John McCain, Joe Lieberman, and three other senators co-sponsored S. 194: A Resolution expressing the sense of the Senate on United States military operations in Libya. Dishonor replaced doing the right thing. Hes one of the Senates richest members. Wealth and power makes people want more by any means. On May 19, NATOs opening ceremony included a minute of silence for fallen servicemen and women. A bugler played taps. Obama, an unindicted war criminal multiple times over, bowed his head. The hypocrisy didnt go unnoticed. A Final Comment NATO calls itself a political and military alliance for peace and security. It was always for offense, not defense. Cold War hysteria was its pretext to exist. Terrorism replaced Communism. Threats are hyped to wage wars for dominance and resource control. NATO deplores peace and security. It threatens it and human survival. Chicago protesters and many others know the threat. They want an organization this dangerous disbanded. They want Americas resources used peacefully for vital homeland needs. Messages on signs said peace, jobs, equality. Others said Free Bradley Manning. They want everyone represented equitably, not just war profiteers, super-rich elites, Wall Street crooks, and other corporate favorites. They want humanity given a chance to survive. Odds are long unless NATOs global menace ends.

2	Obama Gives Muslims An Unbelievable Sum Of Money For Muslim Holiday Well, this is shocking, even for President Obama. It appears that Obama has decided to give nearly $200 million of taxpayer money to the Islamic nation of Syria, in honor of the Muslim holiday Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan. According to an official White House release, President Obama states, Michelle and I send our warmest greetings to Muslims celebrating Eid al-Fitr here in the United States and around the world. During the past month, Muslims have honored their faith through prayer and service, fasting and time spend with loved ones. He continues on to describe his gift, saying, To help the many Syrians in need this Eid al-Fitr, 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. Meanwhile, in the United States, we remain in debt, and our military is struggling to find the equipment they need to protect themselves. Bravo, Obama. What do you think? Are there better ways to spend our hard-earned tax dollars?

'I thought I was already cut down to size just by working here,' said Lorimer, a former Ford auto worker laid off earlier this year. 'But Cal's lecture about paying more attention to the proper way to apply sour cream if I want to remain a valued member of the Taco Bell family, that managed to lower me even more.' Lorimer said he thinks Dyer might be right out of high school. 
2	Liberal Terrorists Cross The Line, Crashing Political Event Takes Messy Turn According to reports, Vice President Mike Pence was met with a mob of protesters during a Chicago fundraising event held by the Illinois Republican Party on Friday. Pence hoped to raise $1 million for the Republican National Committee. Illinois Republican Chairman Tim Schneider said there is a lot of support for Trump in the area. Chicago is the hub of the Midwest and its also very close to his roots in Indiana, so he can draw from those folks who are supporters from Indiana, he commented. I think we have a great number of supporters here in Chicago who believe in this new Trump-Pence administration, and thats why theyre here. Despite the support, about 150 protesters gathered outside the event, some holding signs reading, We say no to racism, sexism war! Bill Ruthhart (@BillRuthhart) December 30, 2016 
3	Pricele$$: The Failure of U.S. Healthcare Spending (w/Infographic)selfnews Post But mockery is built into the whole U.S. medical paradigm, which has made health an increasingly labyrinthine and costly proposition. People are awash in pharmaceuticals, psychotropics, and every manner of artificiality to supposedly heal their ailments real or imagined. And they continue to get sicker. In fact, the medical system along with its FDA-approved drugs causes hundreds of thousands of deaths annually! The following infographic first takes a broad look at the current state of U.S. healthcare spending by introducing the salient facts of life expectancy results from other countries that spend far less. More importantly, however, the graphic concludes by offering the solution to both the expense and the lack of effectiveness within the current paradigm. As always, the solution is simpler than we might think. Could it be that the less we spend on modern medicine, while embracing traditional markers of a well-adjusted lifestyle, the better chance we have at living a long, healthy, productive life? You be the judge.

2	BREAKING: Michigan Results Are In And The Winner Is... President-elect Donald Trump hasnt even stepped foot in the White House yet and liberals are already trying to force him out of it. Since Election Night, Democrats have been pushing for a Hillary Clinton presidencydemanding recounts and searching for loopholes to get her elected using the popular vote. Clinton fans were also holding on to the hope that Michigan would be a Clinton state, given that it had not yet been called for Trump. With 16 electoral votes, the state holds a significant impact on the presidency. Unfortunately for liberals, those hopes have just been crushed. In the closest race for president in Michigans history, Trump took the lead by 10,704 votes. The Michigan Secretary of State posted the results on Wednesday after they were submitted by the states 83 county clerks the night before. The states Board of Canvassers will officially certify the results today. The electoral college will cast their votes along with the rest of the states on December 19. Michigans win brings Trumps electoral vote count to 306. He needed 270 to win the presidency. What do you think? Are you proud to have Trump as our countrys next president? Is he a way better option than Hillary? 
2	One Million Food Stamp Recipients Are About To Get Some Bad News According to recent reports, food stamp enrollment is expected to drop by nearly one million in 2016, thanks to stricter guidelines that are being put in place. According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the enrollment for the program will decrease thanks to new requirements surrounding job training. The CBPP claims that states are going to be required to implement requirements that people who dont have a disability or claim any dependents must enroll in job training or work at least 20 hours per week if they seek to obtain more than three months of food stamps. According to Ed Bolen of CBPP, the drop in enrollment will be caused by the fact that many states do not offer training or jobs that meet the requirements. It is going to be an additional number of people losing benefits in 2016, even with normal caseload dynamics, Bolden claims. With Congress unlikely to act, states need to begin planning for the reduction to ensure that clients and the many organizations and SNAP stakeholders that work with them are aware of the upcoming change and its effects. What do you think of the new policy?

Its all going to be okay, Sullivan said in a soothing voice after Bush broke down in tears while describing his executive experience, reportedly patting him on the back as he rested his head on her shoulder and told her that things were too hard and that he could not continue on like this anymore. I know it looks bad, but youre going to make it through this. Youre a brave man just for standing up and sharing your story like this. Sources confirmed that sympathetic audience members then applauded Bush as he was escorted off the stage by his wife. 
3	Excuse me, are you a robot in the Surveillance State?Jon Rappoport In 1959, two friends of mine, Carl and Michael, staged a spy experiment at the small Ithaca, New York, airport. They were students at Cornell University. Michael was coming in on a little commercial plane from New York late at night. In the one-room terminal, Carl waited for him and paced around, wearing a British raincoat and sunglasses. Occasionally, hed look at his watch and glance out at the airstrip. Finally, the plane arrived. Michael, also wearing a British raincoat, descended the steps from the plane, and Carl walked out to meet him on the tarmac. They stood, head to head, for a few minutes, talking to each other. They gestured toward the terminal. Security personnel arrested them. On suspicion of seeming suspicious. Which was the point of the experiment. Since America is now a spy state, where everyone is expected to snoop and snitch on everyone, why not play the game? A hundred college students walk into a large coffee shop and sit down. They starting passing notes to each other. (1950s spy-iconography) This little stage play is repeated every day, until media pick up on the story. A few hundred college students gather in front of a government building. As employees come out at the end of the day, the students pull out cell phones and pretend to make calls. They talk loudly, mentioning that theyre seeing suspicious activity from government workers. Repeat daily, until media pick up on the story. In a small town, a hundred parents bake cookies in the shape of guns. They give them to their kids to take to school on the same day. Repeat every day until the literal robot-minds of school officials implode. I think everyone in the US should have a screen saver with a picture of a gun on it. Five hundred students hold a birthday party and picnic in a park. They all wear very large badges hanging from their necks: CITIZEN SPY. They pretend to make phone calls, reporting suspicious activity, while pointing at other people in the park. Its sure to garner some attention, after two or three days. What? You might be arrested for these activities? Oh, I see. Yes. The entire country is on lockdown. Thats right. We cant interfere with federal and state agencies doing their jobs, 24/7, to protect us. From ourselves. A website. Secular Confessions. People are invited to confess their own suspicious activity. In detail. You can add, as a bonus, a section for Thought Crimes. I thought about plotting the overthrow of Monsanto. I confess. Im guilty, and I want expiation if not excommunication I considered masturbating when DHS tanks rolled through my town. I dont know why. I was suddenly gripped by an uncontrollable impulse During work today at USDA, where I inspect samples of wheat, I started feeling that I was a suspicious character. I thought about lifting the whole building in one hand and turning it upside down and dropping it on Henry Kissingers headIm a very bad person. Lets all confess. I personally am suspicious (it should be suspect, shouldnt it?) because I have a lingering obsession about the Bill of Rights. Ive tried to purge it from my consciousness in favor of the far more cogent, were all in this together, but I cant. I need re-education. And I have strange thoughts when I drive through an intersection outfitted with video camerasI want to burn those cameras in a bonfire. I want to see thousands of those cameras burn together. Why does that image produce such unalloyed joy? Something must be wrong with me. Right? Im guilty of another thought crime. I want to see Russ Tice, a long-time employee of the intelligence community, featured on page one of the New York Times. I want to see his assertion that the NSA was spying on Obama in 2004 plastered in a giant headline across the top of the page. I want to see Chris Matthews, up to his Obama-tingling legs in muck, working in a giant industrial pig farm in Mexico. This thought surely marks me as a danger to the State. I must be plotting something. I just dont know what it is yet. Im reporting Brian Williams, Scott Pelley, and Dianne Sawyer as suspicious characters engaged in a mass hypnosis operation. I want action. It must stop. Every night, these morons appear in millions of homes and frame the news in terms even Mickey Mouse could see through. I want the Reality Manufacturing Company to cease doing business at once. Im suspicious, youre suspicious, were all suspicious. Lets form a new nation based on that irrefutable premise. Lets quit piddling around. Lets be SUSPICIOUS. Stop smiling. Start looking at things sideways. Squint. Learn how to growl convincingly like a dog. Screw Labor Day. It should be Suspicion Day. Paint on the back of your shirt: WE ARE ALL NSA. Get into it. WERE ALL NSA, WERE ALL SUSPICIOUS, WERE ALL SPYING, WERE ALL GUILTY. Go for the home-run ball. Its a game. I can spy on you faster than you can spy on me. Are you saying your neighbor is a suspicious character because hes spying on you? No, hes suspicious because he isnt spying on me enough. CONFESS. REPORT. My neighbor is growing Chinese cabbage on her front lawn. Chinese? Thanks. Well get right on it. You just earned a gold star, Ms. Good Citizen. This is the era of the busybody. The scum rises to the top. Its the time of the literal mind, which operates blind to context. In the middle of a conversation, a phrase like they should be shot or Id like to blow the whole thing to kingdom come surfacesand certain faces register a pause, a flinch. Hmm. That might be dangerous. He shouldnt have said that One of my favorite media glosses is: understandably nervous in the wake of This is used to justify grand-slam law-enforcement officers reacting to harmless events and innocent civilians. There is always a prior event that can used to rationalize a robot response. Understandably nervous in the wake of the Great Flood, officials took a man named Noah into custody today, after he let two rabbits and two hamsters loose in his garden The real objective of the War on Terror is the creation of literal minds, entrained to think in lowest-common-denominator terms. There will be no metaphors, no distinctions. Automatons forever. The literal mind lives, every day of its existence, guilty of obstruction of justice. It functions at the level of an insect, and delivers far less. This is what the Surveillance State is meant to induce. Operant conditioning is based on the premise that humans are nothing more, in their native state, than programmed biological machines. Therefore, replacing one program with another is perfectly apt. When I was five years old, in 1943, I went to a nursery school around the corner from our apartment in New York. The first day I was there, a teacher gave me preliminary instructions. I cant remember the specifics, although I do recall they were inane. I replied, Okay. She froze. Then she smiled one of those big fake smiles. No, she said. We dont say okay. We say all right. From that moment on, I remained on guard, because I knew I was in an alien environment. I soon learned that the goal of this school was socialization. Pretended harmony. Say the proper thing. Share and care. Be polite. Dont be frank, be earnest. Smile. Achtung. For the rest of the term, I observed this strange cockeyed little world. I said little. I was from another planet, called 19th Street, and I wanted to understand how these lunatics at the school were operating. On the last day of imprisonment, as we were all assembled in the yard, the head gooney bird approached me and thanked me for my cooperation. She thought I had surrendered. I dont remember whether a politeness-certificate was involved, but I did recognize this was a wild misunderstanding on her part. Homogenized America is now moving to a new level: wherever you see cream separating, report it to the authorities and theyll shake and stir. See anything, say everything. To any literal minds who may be reading this article by accident: dont worry your pretty little heads; theres a flower growing over there; report it; report the breeze, the summer, the moon; and dont forget the most important thing of all Pick up the phone and dial DHS and say, I want to turn in the federal government. Theyre committing crimes. Youll be right, every day. Whats left of the idea of a Republic is a memory. Now, the people in charge want to take the final step and turn it into a Pavlovacracy. They want the Matrix to report to the Matrix. The most pernicious advocates of the New Age preach that, in order to pass into next phase of evolution, humans must purify their thoughts, dispensing with all negativity. Otherwise, theyll be left behind the iron gate of the past to suffer great pain and turmoil. This is a quite adequate description of what the Surveillance State is doing. Self-flagellation is making a comeback. You watch. Just as people show up at police stations and confess to crimes they havent committed, were going to see a wave of demented souls reporting on themselves for suspicious behavior. Its a natural offshoot for the class of those whose aspire to victim status, but dont possess authentic qualifications. I welcome the phenomenon. Its exactly what the Surveillance State deserves for inventing a new category of immolation: clogged-up phone lines and email boxes. I want to report that I said something I shouldnt have said Excuse me? No, really. Im a suspicious person. I need to be on some kind of list. In the 13th century, people started walking around in long lines, beating themselves with whips. By the 14th century, the Roman Church became so exasperated it excommunicated all flagellants en masse. Too much bad press. Original sin was fine, but people were taking it to a whole new level. Its going to happen again in the Surveillance State. Get your popcorn ready. Go to work, Dr. Phil.

'There is reason to suspect that these nine votes were not properly counted and that as many as five justices who sided with Mr. Bush did not intend to do so,' Gore said. 'It is therefore in the best interest of our democracy for the U.S. Supreme Court to suspend judgment in this case until we can be absolutely certain that this court did, in fact, intend to rule in Mr. Bush's favor.' Gore added that if his recount request is denied, he will file an appeal with the Interplanetary Supreme Court.

2	NAACP Calls For Civil Disobedience In Cleveland After Tamir Rice Ruling According to recent reports, civil rights activists in Cleveland have come forward to protest a prosecutors recent decision not to bring murder charges against the two police officers who were responsible for the death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice. When the story of Tamir Rice was reported, it quickly when viral. The liberal media was quick to tell a story full of racial implications behind the actions of the two officers. The narrative is continuing as the NAACPs Cleveland Branch just joined the Cleveland Renaissance Movement, Black People in Progress, and the Nation of Islam to issue a set of demands for the City of Cleveland. They intend to protest until they are granted the following: The release of transcripts from the grand jury. Not only is this a black thing or a Democratic thing, but you have conservatives and independents who are involved, Basheer Jones, founder of the Cleveland Renaissance Movement told reporters. You have blacks, whites, Muslims, Christians, Jews. You have so many people involved saying, Hey, this is a problem. Michael Nelson, president of the NAACPs Cleveland branch, argued that he believes the transcripts could be released due to the community interest and the bizarre nature of the grand jury proceeding. You had a prosecutor who was actually engaged well beyond the process. Instead of presenting the evidence [and] allowing the grand jury to make a decision, he makes a recommendation for no indictment. How did he get to that? Nelson questioned at a press conference. He says, Well, the kid looked older than a kid. Looks like he had a gun. But there was no gun present. There was no gun aimed. There was nobody in danger! What were asking for is justice, Jones told reporters. Thats what were asking for. Nelson also argued that if Tamir was an adult and actually possessed a firearm at the time of the shooting, he would have been protected by Ohios open carry laws. The groups threatened the community of Cleveland, claiming that they should prepare for protests like they have never seen before. What do you think? Is this yet another attack on our nations officers in order to push a one-sided story?

Hillary claimed these five guys are not a threat to the United States.

If completely innocent people are being held there, dont they have bigger questions to answer? This statement does not bode well among rumors that Hillary might be running for president. 
1	Admitting their agency has exhausted every other viable option for putting jobless Americans back to work, resigned officials from the U.S. Department of Labor announced plans Thursday to try giving every unemployed citizen a self-serve frozen yogurt shop to own and operate. Labor Secretary Thomas Perez claimed the departments previous efforts, including unemployment benefits and occupational training programs, had failed to significantly improve the nations job market over the past six years, and stated that their new yogurt-based initiative was, at this point, the best way to help those who remain out of work. Perez, who repeatedly stressed that the plan was worth a try, said his agency will disburse yogurt dispensers, cash register scales, small tasting spoons, and vacant storefront and mall kiosk locations to millions of jobless Americans in the hope that selling frozen yogurt will finally help them earn a steady paycheck. In the coming weeks, every jobless man and woman in the United States will receive the necessary supplies and equipment to open and independently manage their own frozen yogurtor fro-yo store, said Perez, who explained to anyone who was unfamiliar that frozen yogurt was like soft serve only healthier, but still tasted just as good, all factors that he said would work in the new shop owners favor. The U.S. Labor Department will provide the unemployed with the four basic flavors of chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and banana, as well as a few sleeves of 8- and 12-ounce cups. Based on how popular yogurt seems to be right now, we believe these new store owners will be able to make a decent wage, thereby reducing jobless claims while also stimulating the broader U.S. economy. Thats the idea, at least, he continued. To clarify, this yogurt thing is pretty much all weve got left in the tank, so lets just give it a shot, all right? Perez argued that the program will provide an attractive opportunity for the nations roughly 10 million jobless individuals to get back on their feet, pointing out to assembled reporters that he sees frozen yogurt stores everywhere these days and that it seems like there are always people in them. The cabinet member added that the business model also appears to be pretty cut-and-dried from what the Labor Department could tell, as customers portion out their own serving of the frozen dairy product, and all the manager really has to do is wipe down the machines and order more powdered yogurt mix when it runs low. While the measure will reportedly supply the nations jobless citizens with such toppings as chopped nuts and rainbow sprinkles, Perez noted that these individuals would be required to pay out of pocket for other, more expensive add-ons such as kiwi slices, Heath bar crumbles, caramel, and any variety of gummy animals, as well as such premium flavors as strawberry cheesecake or mint. The Labor Secretary claimed, however, that this added variety could provide store owners an opportunity to distinguish themselves from the estimated 22,000 existing yogurt shops in the country as well as the impending influx of millions of new competitors in the coming weeks. If the nations unemployed want to put up a big sign, or maybe decorate their stores with some kind of colorful tropical theme, that also might bring in some extra foot traffic, said Perez, adding that giving out punch cards in which the patron receives a free junior-size yogurt after buying eight regular yogurts would be particularly helpful in markets such as Detroit and Stockton, CA, where owners will be competing against dozens of other yogurt shops within a several-block radius. You could maybe sell smoothies, too; people like those. Youd have to get your own blender, though. We wont supply that. And you can name your store whatever you want: Jennys Yogurt, The Yogurt Hut, um, Cincinnati Yogurt, uh... he continued. Great Yogurt, maybe. I dont know. Though Perez conceded that the marketplace might take a while to adjust to the presence of tens of thousands of frozen yogurt sellers in every major U.S. city, he expressed optimism that things would work out all right as long as the American people make a concerted effort to buy a lot of yogurt and yogurt gift cards. All these new yogurt places will need tables and hot fudge pumps and probably some teal or pink aprons for the employees and things like that, so I bet this could really get the manufacturing industry going, said Perez, noting that his office hadnt yet run the numbers on everything, but that the whole idea makes a lot of sense to him. That way, even if some of these stores go under, at least the owners can go work in the factories that make napkin dispensers and waffle cones and stuff. Right? I guess well find out soon enough, he added, shrugging. 
1	The analysis of formulae derived from the fundamental theorem of calculus had a profound and seemingly personal impact on Washington State University freshman Barry Feldman on Monday, teaching assistants in Feldman's differential calculus section reported. 'There was something about having to consider multiple rates of change and their effect on one another that really struck a nerve with Barry. I've never seen a student flinch so violently at terms like 'increasingly negative curves' or 'derivatives,'' TA Melanie Peppers said. 'As uneasy as the unresolved equation seemed to make Barry feel, the prospect of eventually arriving at a solution for it actually appeared to upset him more.' Feldman was recently the subject of gossip among the faculty after he interrupted a lecture on increasing-tensor calculus by screaming that 'enough is enough' and asking if the professor would 'please just change the subject.' 
3	College Board bars AP Government from teaching US Constitution, US warsCarl Herman, Contributor There are 2,000 AP Government teachers worldwide; my communications via the listserve documented these important policies that was news to many who only look tocorporate media (who also publish our texts).With these communications to teaching colleagues, I used my academic voice rather than the civic voice I use as a writer. The difference is my academic voice stays to the law and facts without my interpretation and policy position. Mr. Tinkler ordered the moderator to remove me from the listserve. Mr. Tinkler never communicated with me to ask any question or state any argument. I assume that such action would apply to any teacher who juxtaposed the US Constitution with US policies and wars. Therefore, Im taking Mr. Tinklers initial indirect communication with me to voice the College Boards opposition to AP Government classes teaching the US Constitution as applied to our most important current events. I welcome Mr. Tinklers clarification. I e-mailed our moderator that: I invited our moderator to join my voice of obvious US War Crimes and destruction of the US Constitution, and to help our colleagues overcome cognitive dissonance. I promise to write with Mr. Tinklers response. Carl Herman is a National Board Certified Teacher in economics, government, and history. His hobby is research, education, and lobbying for improved public policy. A principal project of his 30-years experience working with US leadership in government, economics and corporate media was to grow the citizens lobby, RESULTS, that led to two UN Summits (1990 World Summit for Children the largest meeting of heads of state in world history and the 1997 Microcredit Summit topic of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize). Because US political leadership of both parties reneged on each and every public and private promise to end poverty, and US corporate media behaved as their political propagandists, Carl shifted his hobby to follow the money. His conclusions are explained and documented in these two articles (academic/professional voice, and more passionate citizen voice): Open proposal for US revolution: end unlawful wars, parasitic economics He can be reached at Carl_Herman@post.harvard.edu linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	BREAKING: Fox News To Fire Major Personality For Unbelievable Reason Fox News Channel viewers were left scratching their heads when host Andrea Tantaros suddenly disappeared from her regular spot on the weekday program Outnumbered in April. Now, she has made the shocking announcement that she was sexually harassed by former Fox CEO Roger Ailes, corroborating similar allegations put forward in a lawsuit by former host Gretchen Carlson. According to Politico, a source within Fox with knowledge of the proceedings has denied that a complaint even exists, claiming that her complaints were directed toward other Fox employees and guests. Others argue that the official reason Tantaros was removed was because of a contract dispute surrounding her book, Tied Up In Knots. Still, her lawyer claims Foxs actions were retaliation for her complaints about sexual harassment. Tantaros contract remains intact, but could be terminated given that she breached a confidentiality clause by speaking with the media through her lawyer. That creates a tricky situation for Fox, who has every right to sever ties with her. But cutting ties in the midst of a lawsuit about sexual harassment could push the network toward a settlement. What do you think of Tantaros claims?

1	According to a Gallup report published Tuesday, over 95 percent of the nations grandfathers began their careers by walking straight into a place of business, saying Im the man for the job, and receiving a position right there on the spot. I just went right up to the owner, looked him dead in the eye, and told him I was the person he was looking for, said 78-year-old William Chambers, whose story was nearly identical to accounts given by thousands of other grandfathers interviewed for the report, each of whom emphasized that they placed both their hands firmly on the businessmans desk, explained that they were go-getters, and concluded by saying that, if hired, they would be the hardest worker the company had ever seen. Right away, the fellow told me he liked my gumption, and then we sealed it all with a handshake. I had that job until the day I retired. Chambers added that, like two-thirds of the grandfathers surveyed, he also gave the pretty girl behind the counter a wink andwouldnt you know50 years later theyre still together. 
2	BREAKING: Megyn Kelly Shocks Nation With Stunning Announcement... Good Riddance Fox News host Megyn Kelly has spent the better part of this year desperately attempting to appeal to the mainstream audience. Now, it has just been announced that she will be leaving the network to take a position at NBC. The New York Times reported this week that NBC head Andrew Lack won the bidding war for Kelly by offering her a triple role in which she will host her own daytime news and discussion program, anchor an in-depth Sunday night news show and take regular part in the networks special political programming and other big-event coverage. In the past year, Kelly has alternated between being a source of hope for Fox News heads as the future of the network and royally pissing off her fans with her blatant attacks on Donald Trump. Apparently, the former won out, as its being reported that network leaders offered her $20 million to renew her contract in July. Kelly first joined Fox a dozen years ago and quickly moved up the ranks to become one of the networks most-watched hosts. She alienated many of her longtime fans in the past few months and rumors have been circulating that Kelly was trying to leave the network. Of course, she vehemently denied this rumors. The salary NBC will be giving Kelly has not yet been revealed, but the network has always said they could not afford to top $20 million. In a recent interview, Kelly expressed her hopes to leave the nightly news to spend more time with her children. She also hoped to extend her range of coverage beyond politics. What do you think? Will you miss Kelly or are you happy to see her go? 
3	The King Fire Chronicles: Life on the Edge of a Natural DisasterDaisy Luther Im rarely forthcoming about even our general location, for the obvious privacy reasons, but I want to share what its like for a real family mine to live on the brink of disaster for an extended period of time. For the past week and a half, weve wondered on a daily basis if THIS will be the day that our home burns to the ground, consumed by wildfire. Weve wondered constantly if we will have to evacuate in the midst of cooking dinner, if someone will pound on the door in the middle of the night, or if the fire will jump the creek at the bottom of the next canyon over. Natural barriers have allowed us a modicum safety, but weve been very watchful. This isnt the usual article about prepping. It doesnt contain a checklist with all of the things you need to pack. There are plenty of those out there. This is a diary of what its like to live in an area that has been declared a disaster zone, and to be able to see the flames from your porch. Its about the state of being ready for action, but not being able to take itand insteadjust waiting. It has always been my plan to bug in, but sometimes Mother Nature says otherwise. In situations like this, the most important preparedness skill you can have is adaptability. You have to roll with what comes your way immediately, and resist the urge to grimly stick with Plan A. *** On the first day of the fire, I had gone through our BOBs and the safe with our documents. There was a distance between us and the fire, and although I was aware that evacuationwas a possibility, it seemed rather unlikely. Nonetheless, I made certain that all of the necessary items were therethe identification documents, the necessary personal items, the insurance paperwork. (You can find great evacuation checklists HERE.) My daughter had gone away for the weekend with a friends family, and I worried vaguely about what would happen if I was forced to leave home before she returned. I sent her a message and gave her instructions that if for any reason she was not able to return to our home in the mountains, that she was to be dropped off at a family friends place that was farther down in the foothills, and less likely to be affected. I was even more relieved than I had expected to be when she arrived home. We sat down to watch a movie and pushed the fire to the back of our minds for the evening. *** Over the next few days, the fire spread dramatically, but to our guilty relief it was spreading in the opposite direction. It occupied our thoughts, though, because the huge ominous cloud of smoke was visible, literally, from everywhere we went. The drive to school and back each day was filled with shock about the shape of the cloud, the texture, the color, the massive size. Imagine living next door to a vicious dog, one trained to rip intruders apart, who snarled a warning to everyone who passed. Youd give the fence wide berth, keep a watchful eye on the beast, and hope and prayit never escaped from that chainlink fence and came barreling into your yard, bearing down on you with grim hunger. That was the fire aravenousbeast, watching and lunging but kept safely behind a barrierfor now. I registered my phone with the countys reverse 911 service so that I could immediately receive important alerts, instead of waiting for a knock at the door by officials. *** The next day, on the way home from school, we saw a cloud formation that was unlike anything wed seen before. Thick, particularly dense smoke spewed out the top of the fire. Rosie immediately compared it to the mushroom cloud in the series, Jericho. It turns out, she was right. The formation was a pyrocumulus cloud, which is produced by the intense heating of the air from the surface. The intense heat induces convection, which causes the air mass to rise to a point of stability, usually in the presence of moisture. Phenomena such as volcanic eruptions, forest fires, and occasionally industrial activities can induce formation of this cloud. The detonation of a nuclear weapon in the atmosphere will also produce a pyrocumulus, in the form of a mushroom cloud, which is made by the same mechanism. (source) The eerie cloud lingered over us for another day, hovering like the physical manifestation of a bad omen. *** I went to bed on Thursday night feeling as though we were out of danger. I spoke with friends and family from far away and assured them that things were better. Sure, it was a bit smokey, but the area to the northeast was the danger zone. I woke up in the night coughing. I got up and closed the windows. I checked the fire website to be certain there was no imminent danger and went back to sleep, sealing the smoke outside our house. A few hours later,I awoke to the dog pacing anxiously. The smell of burning wood lingered heavy in the air, despite the fact that the windows were tightly closed. It was around 5:30 am, and I got up to let the dog go outside and do her business. The smoke was so thick it hit me like a physical blow. I quickly shut the door and booted up my laptop. Thank goodness for the Internet, I thought to myself as I logged on to Facebook and the local page with fire updates. Simultaneously I pulled up the states fire website. The wind, it seemed, had changed. And with it, our ephemeral previous relief that we were safe. I wondered, will this be the day that the SHTF for us? *** According to the fire website, we were safe for the time being. The smoke burned our eyes and made us cough even the dog. The thick oppressive fog from any scary movie youve ever seen had nothing on the smoke hovering dense in our yard. I pushed the recirculation button in the car to keep us free of at least some of the smoky air. After dropping the kids off at school, I knew that the time had come to pack up for real, If conditions remained the same, this might be the last day in our little home. I hurried from the vehicle back into the house, unconsciously holding my breath, consciously covering my face with my sleeve. I got inside and let it out with a whoosh. And it was time to pack. *** When you have a warning and an ample amount of time to get ready, evacuating isnt nearly as panic-inducing. Even though the professionals hadnt yet rung the warning bell, the fire was just down at the bottom of the next canyon over. A slight change in conditions could mean the fire was in our frontyard. Some people questioned my decision to wait it out at this point. Our firemen had fought valiantly, protecting homes in the area. 80,000 acres gone and not a life lost. I trusted that wed have some warning. The process thus far was a voluntary evacuation notice, followed by a mandatory notice. I earmarked some spots on the map and decided that if the voluntary evacuations reached those points, we would leave ahead of our own evacuation notice. This, I hoped, would allow us to beat the road congestion. I mapped out 3 routes to our secondary location, which was a friends home about 10 miles away. Then, I looked around my home and thought, what would I be devastated to lose? We had long since packed our important documents and a few days worth of clothing and supplies. All of those vital things you must have with you when bugging out were sitting at the door. But when you think about losing every single thing you cant fit into your vehiclethats simply overwhelming. I keep my vehicle very well-supplied year round, courtesy of a few big Rubbermaid tubs. I decided in this circumstance, wed benefit more from bringing other things, so I removed some of the less vital suppliesfrom my SUV to free up space. I grabbed some empty tubs I had recently purchased for stowing pantry supplies. First, I packed up those irreplaceable things that every mother loves. Our photo albums, the baby books, and a few special framed pictures that just melt my heart. The framed pictures of my mom and dad, taken right after their wedding. A journal that had belonged to my father, in which we finished his story, sweet hours spent together, shortly before he died. My grandmothers wedding ring, in two pieces because Id never gotten around to having it fixed. A packet a flower seeds given to me long ago by someone I had loved, because he knew Id rather have the seeds than the flowers. My first thesaurus and a leather-bound book of Shakespeare. 19 years of birthday cards from my girls, starting out with fingerprints in pink and purple ink, followed by wobbly printing, maturing to creative artistic endeavors. Love letters tied with ribbons. A strangely charming bowl shaped like a dinosaur, made by my daughter. Rocks and sand and geological oddities wed picked up on various vacations in various places. Of course, I packed items of monetary value too my wedding ring, some gold jewelry, some small antiques, and some silver coins. But the truly priceless items were in that first box of memories so strong that just touching the items was like reliving my life by osmosis. It was a half day of school so my daughter was finished in just a couple of hours. Despite the reassuring reports online, I was too nervous to leave our pets at the house. I corralled two angry cats into carriers and put them in the back of the SUV, along with our 3-day bags and my box of memories. The dog, always happy to go for a ride,jumped in and looked hopeful that shed be allowed to ride shotgun. (As usual, she was banished to the back.) We made a quick pick-up, dropped off my daughterscarpool buddy, and got home. The dog is always amiable and loves getting home just as much as she loves leaving it in the first place. The cats were less than pleased, and we released the disgruntled felines into the house. They shook themselves, glared at us, and began to groom their ruffled coats after their vehicular ordeal. I explained to Rosie that she needed to gather up her most precious belongings. Like me, she grabbed photos, but she also carefully packed some things that had belonged to her dad, who had suddenly passed away a fewyears ago. The things that were dear to her was his lettermans jacket from high school, studded with bars and patches boasting of his athletic ability. She brought a hoodie that had been her dads, gigantic on her with the sleeves going far past the tips of her fingers. She packed a jewelry box full of precious bits and pieces gifts that had earned their way into the box by virtue of either the giver or the monetary value or just because they caught her eye and made her happy. She has moved many times, and notes and photos from distant friends also made the cut. Once these vital itemshad been ensconced in the vehicle, we packed some more clothing a full two weeks worth of everything from socks to undies to dress clothes to casual attire. Those suitcases went into the vehicle atop the boxes that contained our memories. And then, we waited. *** Time takes on a different feel when you are waiting for disaster to strike. It crawls, pausing to explore horrific scenarios. It wanders and climbs, picking its way through imagined pitfalls. We found ourselves either wanting news that a miraculous rain had fallen from the sky, extinguishing the giant inferno, or the call to evacuate with no further ado. While wed prefer the former, the latter would do because waitingisexcruciating. I repeatedly found myself refreshing the fire information websites, even though I had signed up for the local reverse 911 system in order to be alerted immediately should the need arise to evacuate. Finally, I began watching a movie on Netflix and promptly fell asleep, only to dream strange, horrible nightmares that, oddly, had nothing to do with a stealthily approaching fire creeping up the side of the canyon while we slept. *** We made it through the night unscathed, and the next. Two more alerts arrived that our area could potentially be faced with evacuation, as the wind picked up and embers flew. Storms circled over head, but instead of blessing us with rain, we only got lightning terrifying under these conditions, because it could set off a whole new fire. Sixteen cloud-to-ground strikes, according to the radars, the last thing we needed. The alerts that the fire was licking at our side of the canyon now failed to trigger even the slightest surge of adrenaline. It was like every bit of it had been drained from my body. It felt like I had exhausted any potential for worry. I thought, Whatever. I cant get any more ready than I already am, and went to sleep with my phone next to my ear, in case the call came that night. We were hesitant to go too far from home, in the event that the flames got past the firemen. We wanted to be home and ready to load up our family pets. We didnt want to carry all of our important belongings around in the vehicle, because the looting had already begun. Disaster always brings out the dregs of society, who feed on fear and prey upon those who have lost the most. Vultures were pillaging from evacuated homes and breaking into loaded vehicles at homes that were pending evacuation. Our belongings remained with us indoors, and looters, aided and abetted by the wildfire, became another threat to watch for. *** Ninedays after the fire began, the inferno still raged. Photos that looked like vacation pictures from hell popped up all over Facebook and local websites. Everyone tried to continue with life as normal, but when there is an 87,000 acre threat 3 miles from your door, youre just going through the motions of your everyday routine. We kept everything packed and neatly stacked by the door. Stress was a low-level hum throughout my body. Have you ever spent the night in the room with a mosquito? The annoying buzz is constant not loud, not even audible if there are enough other things going on, like music or the television. But the moment things become still and dark, and theres no other stimuli, its the only thing you can hear and you begin to seriously consider whetherthat tiny little bug making that tiny little sound could actually drive you insane. Thats what it feels like to spend more than a week on the edge of a massive disaster zone constant, quiet stress that you might at any moment be called into action in order to save your family, your pets, your neighbors. *** And then the fire jumped the canyon. I got up that morning, and to my delight, it was crisp, clear and didnt smell as potently of disaster as it had on previous mornings. I dove into my work with renewed energy, until I heard helicopters and planes circling overhead. I looked outside and at one point saw 7 vehicles in the air from my front porch. It reminded me of the invasion scene from Red Dawn, but I knew the invader was fire, and that these pilots were flying overhead to defend us. A pillar of smoke a new one looked much closer to us, billowing up like one of those attention-getting balloons that advertise a sale on used cars or new sofas, dancing maniacally as the wind picked up. Fire trucks barreled down our road, sirens singing a warning. Still, we waited, as dozens of engines were dispatched to make a final stand between our charming little town and the fire which engulfed everything we could see beyond the next ridge. They won this battle, but the war continued. *** On day 11, someone asked me the very reasonable question of why we waited. Why, she wondered, didnt we just evacuate? Wouldnt it be less worrisome to watch from afar, in a place where our safety was cushioned by miles? Not really. First, when youre away from home, you constantly wonder whats going on AT home. While I am well aware theres nothing we could do if the wildfire escaped its barriers and bore down on our home, until that point, I saw no reason to leave. I trusted that the firefighters would warn us as soon as we were at risk, and that theyd err on the side of caution. The fire was now 93,000 acres, bigger than the city of Atlanta, and one human life had been lost. Secondly, we have several pets. If we needed to evacuate, we had a place to go. Dear friends had invited us and all of our animals to come and stay with them. We didnt want to impose like that unless we had no choice. Third and this is something many people dont think about evacuation is expensive. Best case scenario, like us, you have friends or family with whom you can stay. But in many cases, people stay at shelters or hotels. Insurance may or may not reimburse you for your expenses, but either way, you have to put out the money first. Costs like hotel bills, laundry expenses, and dining out can add up very quickly, and if you dont have a healthy emergency fund, it can cause serious financial hardship. *** The previous night had brought billowing smoke, so strong I awoke from the smell of it through closed windows. I went out on the porch in my pajamas and I could see the soft orange of fire, glowing in the distance. The firefighters had evacuated people somewhat closer to our house and were spending the night doing a controlled backburn. They do this in order to clear out anything the fire could use as fuel. So around the perimeter of the fire, they light other fires, carefully controlled, to rid the area of brush and trees. This is how they contain a fire as huge and out of control as this one they create an area around it with nothing to feed it, thus limiting its ability to spread. This is usually done at night, since nighttime air generally has more humidity and is cooler. The weather conditions have to be right, and there has to be enough distance between the wildfire and homes, for this to work. There is a high risk to this, because there is potential for the small deliberate fire to ally itself with the monster fire.We were told that this is usually a last stand, undertaken when other effortshave failed and there is little more to lose. After a restless sleep, we awoke to the incredible news that the fire was now 38% contained, a giant leap over the previous days report of 10%. The backburn had worked, and the containment line held strong. *** Our bags will remain packed and waiting at the door. Well continue to bevigilant until the fire is completely extinguished, but today, we can breathe a small sigh of relief. *** 7,691 men and women from all over the country have put their lives on the line to battle this fire a fire that began with a single act of arsonby a jilted lover. You can learn more by searching for King Fire. Without these first responders, our homes would most certainly be gone and the fire, unchecked, would have consumed even more than it already has. Im rarely speechless, but there are no words grand enough to express our gratitude. Im humbled by what these people willingly do, knowing far better than we do the risks of volunteering to enter an inferno. (You can learn more about their training HERE) Thank you.

2	Melania Says What She Thinks Of Michelle Obama Melania Trump, wife to GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, has been noticeably silent during his presidential campaign. That does not mean she has not been supporting her husband relentlessly and silently behind the scenes. Recently, she agreed to participate in a rare interview about her husband. During her appearance, she was asked to comment about the current First Lady, Michelle Obama, who she might replace. I dont want to talk about that, Melania responded, demonstrating her class once again. For months now, Americans have been comparing Melania and Michelleand the contrast is stark. It is abundantly clear the Melania will be a better leader and supporter than Michelle has ever been, but she is above commenting on that. We can almost guarantee that if Michelle was asked about Melania, she would have less-than-pleasant things to say about her. What do you think? Do you applaud the potential First Lady for taking the high road on this one? Do you think shed be a great addition to the White House? 
2	Unauthorized Video Leaks Of Hillary Clinton Doing Something Absolutely Disturbing... See It Before It Goes Down [WATCH] Gary Byrne is a former Secret Service agent who served in the Clinton White Houses in the 1990s. That means he knows up close and personal just how crazy they are. During a recent interview with USA Radios Trending Today USA, Byrne commented that Hillary Clinton once assaulted a fellow agent with a Bible. Can you confirm reports Hillary was rude? Rust Humphries asked. Yes or no? Absolutely, Byrne asserted, with very little hesitation. Can you give me a quick example of Hillary Clinton being rude? Humphries asked. Byrne recalled a specific time Hillary lost her temper when he objected to her plan to have a group of 40 of her friends from Arkansas occupy the Oval Office unsupervised. She was gonna leave, and leave them in the Oval Office! Byrne declared, explaining that agents are not allowed to leave people in the officer because of national security issues. And these are rules that are based on national security law. True to character, Hillary thought she was above the law. She responded by calling Byrne and his entire division a**holes. Byrne then described a time Hillary assaulted one of his fellow agents with a Bible. She got so angry, she hit a Secret Service (member) on the back of the head with a Bible sitting in a limousine, he said, insisting the agent had done nothing to provoke the attack. She had a tantrum overwho knows what, he commented. When Byrne tried to report the incident, he was told this is the way it isif you want a transfer, well transfer you. What do you think of Byrnes comments? Does Hillary need to be kept far away from the White House? 
3	19 Signs That The U.S. Consumer Is Tapped OutMichael Snyder For example, in poor neighborhoods all over America we are seeing bank branches, car dealerships and retail stores close down at an alarming rate. If you didnt know better, you might be tempted to think that Space Available was the hottest new retailer in some areas of the nation. On the other hand, if you live in San Francisco, New York City or Washington D.C., things are pretty good for the moment. But as a whole, the condition of the U.S. consumer continues to decline. Incomes are going down, the cost of living is going up, and debts are skyrocketing. The following are 19 signs that the U.S. consumer is tapped out #1 Real disposable income per capita continues to fall. In the fourth quarter of 2012, it was sitting at $37,265. By the time that the fourth quarter of 2013 had come around, it had dropped to$36,941. #2 In January, real disposable income in the U.S. experienced the largest year over year decline that we have seen since 1974. #3 As disposable income decreases, major retailers are closing thousands of stores all over the country. Some are even calling this a retail apocalypse. #5 During the fourth quarter of 2013, we witnessed the largest increase in consumer debt in this country that we have seen since 2007. #6 Fewer Americans are applying for mortgages these days. In fact, the MBA Purchase Applications Index is now the lowest that it has been since 1995. #7 Overall, the rate of homeownership in the United States has fallen for eight years in a row. #8 Many Americans are finding it increasingly difficult to afford a new car or truck. The following comes from a recent CNBC article #9 Incredibly, 56 percent of all Americans now have subprime credit at this point. #10 Total consumer credit has risen by a whopping 22 percent over the past three years. #11 In the third quarter of 2007, the student loan delinquency rate was 7.6 percent. Today, it is up to 11.5 percent. #12 Overall, U.S. consumers are $11,360,000,000,000 in debt. #13 While Barack Obama has been in the White House, median household income in the United States has fallen for five years in a row. #14 U.S. workers are taking home the smallest share of the income pie that has ever been recorded. #15 One recent study found that about 60 percent of the jobs that have been created since the end of the last recession pay $13.83 or less an hour. #16 Middle-wage jobs accounted for 60 percent of the jobs lost during the last recession, but they have accounted for only 22 percent of the jobs created since then. #17 According to one recent survey, only 35 percent of all Americans say that they are better off financially than they were a year ago. #18 In 2008, 25 percent of all Americans in the 18 to 29-year-old age bracket considered themselves to be lower class. In 2014, an astounding 49 percent of them do. #19 The poverty rate in America has been at 15 percent or above for 3 consecutive years. That is the first time that has happened since 1965. Despite what the mainstream media keeps telling them, most Americans know on a gut level that there is something fundamentally wrong with our economy. According to Gallup, Unemployment/Jobs is the number one issue that Americans care about these days and the Economy in general is the number three issue that Americans care about these days. Most people just want to work hard, make a decent living and take care of their families. Sadly, that is becoming increasingly difficult to do. And the numbers that I have shared above only tell part of the story. For a more personal side to all of this, I encourage you to read my previous article entitled 10 Stories From The Cold, Hard Streets Of America That Will Break Your Heart if you have not done so already. The really bad news is that this is about as good as things are going to get for the U.S. economy. The long-term trends that are eating away at our economy like cancer are intensifying, and our leaders just continue to act as if business as usual will somehow get the job done. Most of them dont even realize that time is running out. As I discussed yesterday, there is a lot of evidence that the massive financial bubble that the Federal Reserve has inflated is getting ready to burst. When the next great financial crisis does strike, it is going to be absolutely disastrous. We are in far worse financial shape than we were back then, and this next round of financial trauma could truly be the knockout blow for the U.S. economy. Let us hope for the best, but let us also prepare for the worst. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

2	Should Tony Stewart Face Charges For The Death Of Kevin Ware? One of the lingering questions following the accident that resulted in the death of 20-year-old Kevin Ward Jr. at the hands of NASCAR star Tony Stewart is whether Stewart will face criminal charges for the incident. The initial confrontation between the two drivers appears to have began when Stewart pushed Ward into the fence in the previous lap, causing the young drive to spin out and crash into the wall. After the interaction, Ward jumped out of his car, and walked down into the trackwaiting for Stewart to make his way around the tracks again. With the Ward literally in the danger zone, you can see several cars attempting to avoid him. Just prior to the accident, a blue and white car swerves to avoid the angry young drive. Then, a second before striking Ward, Stewart is shown revving his engine. While some say that the rear of Stewarts car kicked out as a result, video evidence appears to show that he hit the young driver before the rear of his car swung around. Now, questions continue to rise about whether Stewart should face criminal charges for his actions. What do you think? 
3	20 Places to Find Local Food and Family Farms Near YouHeather Callaghan Search engines are actually terrible at locating these underground hubs, which makes it so frustrating to try and opt out of corporate chains, save money, and build your familys health.

1	Veteran character actor and Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson expressed worries to reporters Tuesday that a successful White House bid could spell 'total career death.' 'It would be nice to get away from the FBI agent and district attorney rolesthat's why I eventually decided to try out for the Oval Office partbut would being forced to play presidents for the rest your life be that much better?' said Thompson, whose rsum includes Law & Order, Die Hard 2, U.S. senator from 1994 to 2003, and Baby's Day Out. 'Sure, you don't want to turn down work, and it'd be a solid four-to-eight-year gig, but after that I'd always be known as 'that politician guy.' Look what happened to Reaganhe never worked again.' Recent polls have placed Thompson among the GOP frontrunners, with many voters citing the value of his experience as U.S. president in the 2005 docudrama Last Best Chance. 
1	SAN LUIS OBISPO, CAThe inconsiderate residents of the apartment above Jim Bracker, 23, woke him from a sound slumber several minutes before 3 p.m. Monday. 'Christ, quit with the aerobics already,' a groggy Bracker shouted toward the ceiling. 'You've been jumping up and down for half an hour!' Unable to return to sleep, Bracker resigned himself to channel-surfing until he was forced to drag himself into the shower and ready himself to meet a friend for a 5:15 p.m. movie. 
1	Legendary Rangers pitcher, team president, and mush-mouth Nolan Ryan delivered an indecipherable and presumably stirring speech in the team's clubhouse before Game 2 of the World Series Thursday, puzzled but tentatively inspired players later confirmed. 'Just to have him there was a rush, but to have him look us all in the eyes and say 'Hyeah gotta wont thissen y'all goan shackum weerpo hurrah, goan an' dunnit husslinrusslin t' nagget chossle shummah' is something I'll never forget,' said outfielder Josh Hamilton, adding that the hair on the back of his neck stood up and his forehead wrinkled during Ryan's five-minute talk. 'Then, when everyone was just completely silent in awe and confusion, he walked to the door, turned, and repeated, 'Nagget. Chossle. Shummah.' I was just stunned.' In Ryan's honor, the Rangers have adopted an unintelligible series of slurred vowels and sibilant fricatives as their unofficial World Series motto. 
1	Describing a chaotic scene that resulted in dozens of injuries, sources confirmed Tuesday that violence erupted at a rally for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump after his supporters clashed with protesting GOP leaders. Five minutes into Trumps speech, these really upset older guys in suits suddenly stood up and started shouting a bunch of anti-Trump stuff, and the crowd immediately started pounding on them, said rally attendee Jared Boyton, noting that former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, who hoisted a handmade sign depicting Trump in a KKK robe beneath the words Fascism Is Not Conservatism, was quickly knocked out by a punch to the back of the head, and that Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham were shoved to the floor and repeatedly kicked by the angry mob. Then [RNC chairman] Reince Priebus and [House Speaker] Paul Ryan rushed the stage and tried to grab Trumps microphone, but the Secret Service tackled them both to the ground. They kept yelling something about how Trump must be stopped as the agents dragged them out of the building, but you couldnt really hear what they were saying over the crowds boos. Sources confirmed that the bloodied and battered Republican leaders were held overnight in the Hillsborough County Jail before being bailed out by former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg. 
2	Six Teens Arrested After Recording Themselves Gang Raping White Girl Six teenage have been arrested on charges of sexual battery and false imprisonment. The five underage boys will detained in a juvenile detention center. New York Daily News Reported, Batton was to be held at the Seminole County jail without bond, Torreano Batton, 18; Tywuan Johnson, 17; Josea Sims, 17; Deoante Stewart, 17; Marquis Pierre, 16; and Tobert Alexander, 16; allegedly gang raped a 16-year-old female student near Winter Springs High School in Central Florida. All of the boys are students at Winter Springs High School, as is the victim. Law enforcement also found a connection with the gang rape of a female student from their high school. The victim was with Batton on their way to get something to eat. They went through the woods as a short-cut, the boys then demanded she perform sexual acts on them, refusing to release her until the boys finished sexually abusing her. Claiming they forced her to perform sexual acts on them while two of them had sexual intercourse with her. Part of the attack was recorded by the victim on her iPod Police claim you can clearly hear the victim say, No, and, I want to go back to school. As seen on video. Reports shows several black males asking for sex in the woods. Prior to making these arrests, the Winter Springs Police Department painstakingly processed relevant facts, evidence and conducted interviews with several people to determine that solid and proper charges were filed against those allegedly responsible for this crime, police said in a statement. Dr. Mickey Reynolds, the principal of Winter Springs High School, released a letter to the schools website stating, If any WSHS students are arrested and charged with a crime, we will react swiftly in accordance with our district discipline policy. Dr. Reynolds also made it a point to show students this and any criminal act will not be tolerated. 
1	Citing factors ranging from the dumb, ugly asteroid belt separating the terrestrial planets from the gas giants, to the super-boring and practically empty interstellar medium extending in nearly every direction, new research published Wednesday by the International Astronomical Union has concluded that Earth is located in by far the lamest region of the observable universe. Despite years of intensive analysis, we have failed to uncover even a single pulsar, black hole, lenticular galaxy, binary star system, quasar, or any other cool stuff within 50 light years of this stupid dump of a solar system, read the study, which noted that to date, no telescopeeither ground-based or in earth orbithas been able to locate a portion of space more dull and tiresome than our own. Maybe if we were a little closer to the center of the Milky Way galaxy instead of piddling away on one of its lame-ass outer arms, thatd be one thing, but we are right smack-dab in the middle of nowhere. All weve got is a bunch of crappy old cosmic background radiation and dumb-as-shit magnetic fields out here. Ugh. The studys authors added that they so wish they were on board one of the Voyager probes currently racing out of this mind-numbingly shitty planetary backwater. 
1	Greg Streets, the commentator and host of The Longhorn Zone on Austin-area AM station Sports Radio 1480, could clearly be heard performing enthusiastic and vigorous oral sex upon Texas quarterback and Heisman trophy frontrunner Colt McCoy during an interview Wednesday. 'So there are people, hmmmmmm ummmm nnf, saying that Oklahoma State will blitz and try to apply womm hnghh ulp more pressure on you this Saturday,' Streets gasped wetly during the seven-minute puff piece which took up the central section of the 20-minute question-and-answer session. 'Mmmmm hmmm oh. Oh my. Oh.' McCoy made it clear during the interview that the Longhorns were concentrating on conference play, taking it one game at a time, and that being on top ain't gay. 
3	The Patriots Most Wanted: If There WAS a List, These People Would Be At the Top of ItTrea-son [tree-zuhn]: The betrayal of ones own country by waging war against it or by consciously or purposely acting to aid its enemies. Source If Patriots had a most wanted list, these people would be at the top of it. The alleged crimes of this Dirty Dozen? Betraying the American people from within by wantonly dismantling the Constitution, collapsing the economy, and creating an encroaching police state that rewards the few and restricts the many. Each and every person on this list could rightfully be investigated for Treason against the United States of America. This Gallery of Dishonor is by no means inclusive. It contains, in alphabetical order, some of the most despicable but certainly not all. Meet the Patriots Most Wanted: Ben Bernanke Ben Bernanke, collapsing the economy since 2006. He became the Chairman of the Federal Reserve under Bush and has maintained his appointment under Obama (unusual in that a Republican appointment continued to serve under a Democrat president). Mr. QE-to-Infinity has recently received a license to print money indefinitely to institute the most recent round of Quantitative Easing, which Senator Ron Paul referred to as a full-time counterfeiting operation. Unfortunately the only ones eased by this are the members of the Big Banking Cartel everyday folks need not apply. Under Bernankes leadership, the too-big-to-fail banks were financially bailed out, while the average American was left to flounder as housing values plummeted, mortgages were defaulted on and personal bankruptcies skyrocketed. New York Citys very own soda pop Nazi, Mayor Michael Bloomberg has made a career out of micromanaging the lives of the citizens of the city. Bloomberg has decided that he must take control of the health of New York City residents and has done so by disallowing the sale of sugary beverages over 16 ounces. He also had NYC hospitals lock up baby formula and track when formula is dispensed in an effort to coerce new mothers to exclusively breastfeed. And speaking of new mothers, there have been numerous quiet sexual harassment lawsuits filed against Bloomberg by women under his employ, dating back to 1997, when a female employ described telling Bloomberg of an unplanned pregnancy, to which he allegedly responded Kill it! and Great, number 16! (Not treason, but saying that type of thing would certainly be indicative of a mans character.) Back to treason, last summer, Bloomberg stated the NYPD officers should go on strike until the citizens voluntarily disarmed themselves. Under his leadership New York City has the strictest gun laws in the state, requiring permits, licensing and registration. This left the citizenry largely disarmed and unable to protect themselves in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Never one to let a good crisis go to waste, Bloomberg rounded up celebrities to put together a propaganda video calling out for even more gun control just days after the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School. George W. Bush It was under the watch of erstwhile President Bush that the largest terrorist act in American history took place in our own airspace on September 11, 2001. This inside job was rapidly followed by the Patriot Act in truth the most unpatriotic legislation that had existed up to that point and the first serious blow suffered by the Constitution. The Patriot Act was rolled out to save America from terrorists, allowing surveillance and invasions of privacy without the hassle of pesky little inconveniences like probable cause and search warrants. Bush and 7 of his cohorts (Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and their legal advisers Alberto Gonzales, David Addington, William Haynes, Jay Bybee and John Yoo) were find guilty in absentia last year in Malaysia, convicted of war crimes, including torture and cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hillary Clinton Long-suffering wife of former President Bill Clinton, former Senator from New York and current Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton has had a varied political career. Recently on the hook for the Benghazi massacre, in which 4 Americans lost their lives due to negligence, she has been in the hotseat numerous other times. A noted warmonger, she has been accused of lying to Congress about the Iraq War and Saddam Hussein, she has consistently expressed her belief that Iran is a nuclear threat to the United States and has been fingered by Wikileaks for ordering spying on UN Officials. Other possible lapses in integrity include allegations of lying to the FEC about contributions, the hiring of unsavory advisor Sandy Berger (a convicted felon) and substantial financial involvement with pharmaceutical companies, whose causes she champions. Jon Corzine Neck deep in government and banking, Jon Corzine was accused of using 1.6 billion dollars of customer money to cover his companys shortfalls. Yes, 1.6 BILLION. Shortly thereafter, the company, MF Global filed for bankruptcy and that money has completely vaporized. A House Congressional hearing found the former New Jersey senator and governor at fault for the failure of the company, but he has managed to evade criminal charges. (Could that be related to the fact that Eric Holders former law firm represented Corzines now-defunct company?) Leading the charge against the 2nd Amendment,New York governor Andrew Cuomo recently spearheaded the most aggressive attack on gun rights yet, proudly signing the NY SAFE Act. This unConstitutional legislation limits magazine capacities, narrowly redefines the term assault weapons, requires background checks for all gun-related purchases, including ammunition, and obligates mental health professionals to become government snitches. (Amusingly, the hastily passed bill does not exempt police officers, ostensibly making criminals out of every one of New Yorks finest.) Rahm Emmanuel Mayor of Obamas old stomping ground, Chicago, Emanuels city has dubious honor of being simultaneously crowned the gun control capitol of the United States and the Homicide Capitol of the United States. Classic Emanuel quote: If you are known as maybe a possible terrorist you cannot buy a handgun in America. Emanuel served on the board of the Freddie Mac while Bill Clinton was in office, during which time the organization was plagued with scandals involving campaign contributions and accounting irregularities. Currently, Emanuel is browbeating banks with Mafia tactics to suggest that they cease lending money to gun manufacturers with accounts in good standing. Dianne Feinstein Possibly the most hated woman in Congress right now, Dianne Feinstein has made no bones about her mission to disarm America. The senior Senator from California was responsible for the 1995 Assault Weapons Ban and has just introduced a bill that would prohibit the manufacture or importation of 158 specific military-style assault rifles, ban magazines of more than 10 rounds and introduce a federal registry for all owners who currently possess the aforementioned weapons and magazines. She has supported the extension of the unPatriot Act and was the co-sponsor of PIPA, one of several assaults on internet freedom. US Attorney General Eric Holder is all about the law, at least if those laws apply to other people. As for himself, he seems to feel that he is personally immune to those pesky little restrictions. He has announced the Department of InJustice will still pursue prosecution of those terrifying criminals who have a state-authorized toke, deeming that the state laws are trumped by federal ones. He is an adamant supporter of the Assault Weapons Ban, unless, of course, those assault weapons are supplied to Mexican drug cartels. While 14 lower-ranking officials were found guilty in the Fast and Furious scandal, slippery AG Holder remained relatively unscathed, even though he was held in contempt by the House of Representatives by refusing to cooperate in the investigation. If you are curious as to why the banksters seem to have blanket immunity for fraud and outright theft of funds, perhaps it has something to do with a glaring conflict of interest Holders former law firm, Covington Burling, represented MF Global, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and UBS. Not so fondly known as Big Sis, Janet Napolitano is the nosy Secretary of Homeland Security. Encouraging an environment of ratting out your neighbor with her See Something, Say Something ads on screens in Walmart, Napolitano seems to have an extreme aversion to the right to privacy. She has generalized as potential terrorists so-called Right Wing Extremists, veterans, and a wide assortment of other guilty-until-maybe-proven-innocent groups. Under Napolitanos reign the TSA has stepped out of the airport and into other public transit areas like train and bus stations, as well as large sporting events. She is also a proponent of surveillance drone use in American airspace for public safety. The President of the United States,(despite his questionable eligibility) Obama has done more to demolish liberty during his first four years in office than all of his predecessors combined. Despite his deadly drone assassinations, his dedicated assault on the Constitution and his dubious personal background, Obama was re-elected for another 4 year term of Constitutional destruction. He has proven his willingness to circumvent the checks and balances of our system by sidestepping Congress with a dizzying, ever-increasing number of Executive Orders signed thus far in his presidency. He has even gone so far as to boast about his habit of going around Congress, memorably stating: we cant wait for an increasingly dysfunctional Congress to do its job. Where they wont act, I will. Ive told my administration to keep looking every single day for actions we can take without Congress. Charles Schumer A gun-grabber from way back, this US Senator from New York recently likened guns to kiddie porn. No amendment can be absolute. I believe you can be pro-gun and pro gun safety, just like you can be in favor of free speech but also against child pornography. Schumer had his finger in the gun-control pie, co-sponsoring the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban and the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act. He was one of the few to oppose the Vitter Amendment, passed post-Katrina, which prohibits the confiscation of legal firearms during a disaster. So, should these people be investigated for Treason against the United States? You be the judge. And feel free to share more nominations in the comments below.

3	The rebel against the controlled worldJon Rappoport In 2012, I was contacted by a disillusioned psychiatrist who had left the field. He told me he was interested in discussing his experiences. Here is a key remark he made in our conversation: Is there a normal state of mind? The answer is no. There is the ability to deal with the reality of the world, which is a very important skill. But state of mind is another matter entirely. You could have a million people who can deal with the world, and theyre all operating in different states of mind. There is no normal. Normal is a modern myth that has no benefitsexcept to the people who invented it and control it. If you can control normal and disseminate it broadly, slip it into consciousness, you have power. Its like one of those steamrollers. You flatten people. There is no normal state of mind. Its a myth. Its sold. The professional definitions of normal are supposed to create a uniform standard of thought and behavior. A collectivism. Coming in from another vector, we have sociologists and anthropologists, practitioners of a fake science to rival psychiatry in promoting a climate of pseudo-babble. One of the founders of sociology, Emile Durkheim (1858-1917), coined the phrase collective consciousness. Durkheim insisted there were inherent qualities that existed in society apart from individuals. Exposing his own absurd theory, he went so far as to claim suicide was one of those qualities, as if the phenomenon were present beyond any individual choice to end life. He wrote: Man is the more vulnerable to self-destruction the more he is detached from any collectivity, that is to say, the more he lives as an egoist. In his book, The Division of Labour in Society (1893)(wikipedia), Burkheim spun moral conscience in the following fashion: Make yourself usefully fulfill a determinate function. He cited this as a kind of command issued by collective consciousness. If this sounds Marxian, and if it sounds like the presentation of the individual human as machine-cog, it is. From the mud of sociologys beginnings, the long sordid history of the academic discipline brings us to something like this. Peter Callero, of the department of sociology, Western Oregon University, has written a book titled: The Myth of Individualism: How Social Forces Shape Our Lives (2013, 2nd Ed): Most people today believe that an individual is a person with an independent and distinct identification. This, however, is a myth. By some mistake, Calleros memo never reached me. For example, Im under the impression that Im sitting here writing these words. Apparently not. A collection or group is doing the job. Where are they? Maybe theyre hiding under my desk or floating in the air of my room like invisible wraiths. Maybe theyre off in the Amazon annoying a tribe of hunters, shooting videos of their daily customs and practices. Sociology and anthropology have established themselves as serious social sciences. That means professional journals, university courses, endowed chairs, conferences, links to foundations and governments, task forces designing optimum futures. The practitioners of these fake endeavors are dupes and agents in a massive psyop, whose purpose is the deleting of the independent individual. Collectivism is the replacement. All their hypotheses start with a consideration of the group as the prime element of existence. The psychiatric State operates hand-in-glove with sociology, in the sense that it promotes some 300 officially certified mental disorders that are the same in all people. Psychiatry is a collectivism of the mind. Ive established, in many articles, that psychiatric diagnosis is a complete fraud. There are no physical tests of any kind for any so-called disorder. The 20th century saw the rise of systems-thinkers, who applied their ideas to society as a whole. They gained power because global elites were pushing forward a systems-program of their own: planetary management. (This is described well in Scott Nobles film Human Resources: Social Engineering in the 20th Century (posted at YouTube)). The Globalist program was (and is) all about central planning and distribution of goods and services, under the cynical rubric of greatest good for the greatest number. This is collectivism, plain and simple. It camouflages a leading prow of brute force, Soviet style, with more subtle forms of brutality. Universities serve as mind-control factories, turning out graduates who only see the sunshine propaganda of group harmony. Capitalism and socialism have sex, procreate, and their child is Globalism. It contains elements of both parents. The capitalism of the father is, however, not about the free market. Its founded in the crime of controlling the means of production, when what is produced (out of thin air) is money. The Federal Reserve, along with other private international banking institutions, invent money at their discretion and profit from that invention. They give and they take. They expand economies and contract them. They create booms and busts. They bankrupt nations, as a prelude to asserting the only solution is a de facto single global nation. At the same time, the fortunes of the old captains of industry have been diverted into foundations, which are run by men who were the diabolical spawn of the parents mentioned above. These foundations (Ford, Carnegie, Rockefeller, etc.) are devoted to funding projects, both intellectual and material, which promote and expand collectivism. The independent individual is seen as a barrier to these operations. He must go. As always, the men who run this planet have put in place the solution to their own problem. They understand that their schemes will raise resistance, and so theyve devised the favored form of that resistance. Its: false unity. They bankroll groups and projects that seek to overturn the march toward a fascist world order. These groups offer, instead, their own form of collectivism, under the flag of cooperation. If we all cooperate and come together, we can stop the spread of the evil empire. If we join hands around the world, well attain social justice for all. If we see ourselves as One, instead of as individuals, well emerge victorious. Naturally, this op causes considerable confusion. People want to cooperate. They want to do good. They want to join together. But when the means to make it happen are simply diversions from true resistance, we have a bait and switch. And the target is still the free, independent, and powerful individual. Occupy Wall Street was an example of a budding movement that went nowhere. It was co-opted by, of all people, the staff of the White House, who encouraged it, while at the same time carrying on their usual incestuous partnership with Wall Street. The Big Sleep coming at the global population from a number of vectors is couched in terms of collective unity. The sign of waking up is a demand for individual freedom. And then, taking that freedom without waiting for permission. The rebel is forged in any of a thousand different fires of mad controlling authority. Thats where he is born. He knows, in his bones, what these authorities are demanding of him: surrender. He knows this in an unshakable core of his being. He can spot the collective that asks for that surrender from a mile off. It approaches, these days, with a glazed friendly smile, produced out of thousands of hours of market research. The rebel isnt trying to produce a better overarching system. He isnt falling for that one. He knows that within him, the potential for creation is extraordinary. He doesnt complain about a lack of answers. He invents them. He exposes arbitrary authority as an insane form of theater, more surreal than surreal. He does this for his own sake, and then to wake others up. Compromising his freedom to attain valuable goals isnt on his list of things to do. He knows the bait and switch. He doesnt need a mythical place where everyone comes together. Like any fairy tale, myth, legend, story, collectivism began as the idea in the mind of one person. Somewhere in the mists of the past, that person dreamed it up. It was his notion. It was his perverse work of art. He sold it to his friends as a way they could control the mass, the populace, the audience. He said, Do you see how this works? We can subscribe to the most wonderful sentiments, we can appear to be servants of the Good, we can hide behind all that while we destroy freedom. Its a winner. Collectivism isnt a mass outpouring of share and care. Its coming down from the top of the ladder. The rebel understands these things. He knows someone, somewhere, cooked up the whole idea and promoted it, like flatware or recliner chairs or rhinestones. In 1934, Smedley Butler became a rebel. He was the highest ranking general in the US Marine Corps. Hed been awarded two Medals of Honor. Approached by a group of corporate leaders to put together his own army, march on Washington, and dethrone Franklin Roosevelt, Butler pretended to go along with the plan, then exposed it. Here are two of his more famous statements: Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service. Butlers second statement was published by Common Sense, a socialist newspaper, in 1935. The newspaper failed to realize that Butlers derogatory references to capitalism applied to a specific kind of theft and murder, practiced by corporate men who ultimately intended to destroy whatever was left of the free market and, then, own all marketsState Corporatism, Globalism. Socialism. I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents. Butlers rebellion was actually against the elite capitalists who came to support socialism as the method for securing and expanding their wealth and power. Thats the turnaround that many people miss, especially those who are dewy-eyed about what collectivism promises. The rebel is able to defend himself against delusion all the way into the core of his own mind. He discovers and invents his own reality, and he doesnt suppose that any other human being has to agree to the contents of that reality. Oscar Wilde: Art is individualism, and individualism is a disturbing and disintegrating force. There lies its immense value. For what it seeks to disturb is monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine. Nevertheless, Wilde was a socialist. He labored under the puerile delusion that private property could be abolished, thereby freeing all people from the need to slave for a living. In this way, he urged, everyone would have the necessary leisure to pursue art. Collectivism leading to freedom of the individual. How quaint. The real strategy of collectivism is the squashing of the mind, making it into a center of passivity and obedience, bereft of any original thought. When all people share the same imposed reality, there is no reality at all. The mind then stands only symbolically, like a black tree that has been dead for years. To the degree it ever existed, the principle of the individual determining his own reality is being lost. Whats replacing it is the idea that common ground comes first and last. This means doctrine. This means operant conditioning in schools. This means a Holism that preaches delusional unity. The anthropomorphic religious diddle called Gaia has ascended. The idea of humble devotion to Mother Earth is a fools errand. As George Carlin put it: The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages And we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? Its one thing to keep the environment healthy. Its quite another thing to worship it and feel anxious about its future. Humans arent going to destroy the Earth. But humans may end up submitting to a level of brainwashing that rivals the all-encompassing mind control of the Mayans. Humans may forget how to rebel. Humans may accept the loss of freedom as a minor bump on the road to promised salvation in the arms of the wise ones. The Reality Manufacturing Company turns out its product every day.

In this cartoon called reality, whoever declines and defects is reeducated. The list of functioning conspiracies in our time period is very long. But the conspiracy of conspiracies is systemic. It is the action of the non-rebel, who shapes his own mind as a receptacle, inviting in any philosophy that suggests interconnected zeroes. This is a mind where any thought or idea is automatically stripped of meaning and then hooked up to another such zero, and the whole apparatus is networked for ceaseless motion. It is, in fact, a mirror of collectivism which, similarly, insists on an intimate relationship among all persons, who have themselves been emptied of individuality. The rebel says no.

2	Youll Never Believe Who Mike Browns Family Is Teaming Up With To Ruin Darren Wilsons Career According to recent reports, the family of Michael Brown took a flight to Florida. The trip involved a meeting to discuss civil rights and the topic of race in relation to their sons death. Michael Brown Sr. reportedly met with Sybina Fulton and Tracy Martin, the parents of Trayvon Martin. The trio decided to create a vigil for Mike Brown at the Flo Rida concert. Some claim that the meeting was nothing more than a PR stunt designed to gain media attention. Now, some feel that Michael Browns parents are doing whatever they can to stay in the public eye and continue the national mourning of Brown. What do you think of the meeting? 
2	ISIS Lover Muslim Leader Says Death To America, A Few Seconds Later THIS Happens To Him On Live TV [VIDEO] This altercation that took place on Fox News is quickly going viraland we can see why. When Anjem, a Muslim Imam, was asked about Pamela Gellars Draw Muhammad Day and whether or not she should be put to death as a result, he responded with something absolutely outrageous. You know what? She should be tried in a Sharia court, be found guilty, and of course she would face capital punishment, he argued. She should have thought about that before she had that competition. You cant go down that road, insulting Muslims, and think the Muslims arent going to retaliate back, he continued. I would attack someone if they insult my mother, let alone the prophet who I love 100 times more. Watch Pamelas response below and tell us what you think. 
1	After witnessing its baseball team finish in last place, its NFL team break its streak of five straight playoff appearances, and its NBA team leave for Oklahoma City, Seattle received another blow with the addition of a new Major League Soccer franchise, the Sounders FC. 'I mean, I sat through all 11 of the Huskies' losses, but this is worse than any of that,' said Seattle resident Dusty Warren, who watched in resignation as the MLS expansion draft aired on a nearby television. 'People will be wearing those jerseys and making up stupid chants for weeks before they realize they've been had. It's almost as insulting as when that WNBA team won the title.' The mood in the city darkened even further when partial Sounders owner Drew Carey pledged to be a visible presence around the team and perform throughout the city year-round. 
2	Michelle Obamas Disgusting Secret Leaked After She Throws Sexual Assault Accusations Against Trump Last week, 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. 
2	Patriot Establishes His Gun Store As A Muslim Free Zone, And Then THIS Happens The owner of a gun store in South Florida is in the middle of liberal fire after declaring that his shop is now a Muslim-free zone. Andy Hallinans policy went viral earlier this year following the shooting in Chattanooga, Tennessee by an Islamic extremist. I have a moral and legal responsibility to ensure the safety of all patriots in my community, he said in a statement. And so, effectively immediately, Im declaring Florida Gun Supply as a Muslim-free zone. I will not arm and train those who wish to do harm to my fellow patriots. The legality of Hallinans policy has come under question by CAIR, but he is now being defended by the American Freedom Law Center. What do you think? Do you support Hallinan? 
2	City Councilman Tells Citizens To Throw Rocks At Cops Who Are Arresting Criminals... Watch What Happens Next [VIDEO] According to reports, Sheila Jackson Lee, a Democratic legislator for Texas has made claims that the Constitution is 400 years old, and that astronauts planted a flag on Mars. That doesnt exactly instill confidence in the elected government official, does it? Unfortunately, she is not the worst official our country is dealing with. Councilman Kenneth Stokes of Jackson, Mississippi has actually called for violence against law enforcement. What I suggest, we get the Black leadership together, and as these jurisdictions come into Jackson, we throw rocks and bricks and bottles at them, he argued. He later backed up these claims, saying, When you have these police officers coming from other jurisdictions and they will not respect human life then I said we should use rocks bricks or bottle to try to get the message over, Stop endangering our children. Stokes is calling for a full-blown assault on the members of law enforcement. This is outrageous. What do you think? Should Stokes be removed from office? 
3	Someone Started A Petition to Change the US National Anthem to War Pigs by Black SabbathOp-Ed by Claire Bernish Of course, the United States managed to elect Barack Obama, whose expansive bellicose policies in conjunction with having been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize embody a quintessential irony seemingly only possible in America. Obama isnt the only politician who has managed to tout strict gun control for U.S. citizens while espousing the killing of terror suspects by drone a program that inevitably causes the murder of anyone who happens to be standing nearby when a bomb is unleashed.Not one of the leading presidential candidates even hinted at a desire to eradicate that contentious practice. Hillary Clinton, in fact, has thus far received the most funding from weapons manufacturers and the gun lobby while continually barking her tough-on-guns platform somehow doing so with a (relatively) straight face. With everything War now thoroughly saturating our cheapened Americana-cultural paradigm, a new petition has emerged that most aptly fits what the U.S. has become. There is now an effort petitioning House Speaker Paul Ryan to change the U.S. national anthem to War Pigs by Black Sabbath. Before you laugh, consider the previous and following points. Isnt the U.S. with its military budget dwarfing at least the next five countries, its multi-fronted ostensible fight against the nebulous terrorism, and not-unjustifiable reputation as world police somewhat uniquely qualified as the premier agent of War? Perhaps standing to group-sing War Pigs before political and sporting events and more might remove the blinders of nationalism and patriotism a smidge. Perhaps a little truth-telling would be good for this country. Why not tell it or, in this case, sing it like it really is. We are the worlds biggest war-mongers, and if we arent going to change that, at least we could make America great for once and be honest about what our government truly is. The petition can be found by following this link to Change.org. What better day to add your name than today, March 15 the Ides of March.

Like a a lot of things. USA is business as usual, The only good soldier is a dead soldier. Liberate the military mindset sign this petition. The shoe fits. Where do I sign? That it was written by a British band makes it even more appropriate. And our military should be called the War Department not the Defense Department. Under Obama it should be called the Defenseless Department. The U.S. spends more than 50 percent of all military outlays, and more than about the next 20 countries, all of two of which are our allies.

2	Obama Overrides Congress And Passes Laws Anyway According to recent reports, Judge Andrew Napolitano was recently interviewed about the new unconstitutional executive order issued by President Obama this week. He argued that Obama just usurped his authority to impose something that Congress had previously rejected three times. Further, Napolitano argued that Obama is attempting to create a new crime. If you sell as few as two guns, or transfer, as a gift, as few as two guns, you are a dealer and you, therefore need a federal license, he argued. If you transfer guns, as a gift, without a federal license, you can be prosecuted. Why is that troublesome? Because Congress three times, rejected that proposal. So what does that mean, exactly? He is attempting to rewrite laws, Napolitano concluded. Look, if he doesnt like the gun laws, he can argue to people to get your representatives to change them, but he cant change them on his own. Do you agree with Napolitano? Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
3	HPV Vaccines Exposed: Subterfuge in a Syringe?Norma Erickson Japanese safety advocates have already succeeded in getting their government officials to order both manufacturers (Merck and GlaxoSmithKline) to change the HPV vaccine package inserts to include stronger safety warnings to medical consumers regarding the possibility of ADEM, Guillain-Barre and neurological problems. (Read more here.) Unfortunately, that is not enough. The citizens of Japan are tired of watching their young girls suffer from convulsions, seizures, partial paralysis, severe pain and a host of new medical conditions after being subjected to HPV vaccinations. (Read more here.) Consequently, the Nationwide Liaison Association of Cervical Cancer Vaccine Victims and Parents has started a public petition to ban HPV vaccinations in Japan. The Japanese version is here. An English language version of the same petition is here. Why are Japanese citizens against HPV vaccinations? Merck and GlaxoSmithKline marketing experts have done an outstanding job of creating a universal fear of being infected with HPV, Human Papillomavirus. Unfortunately, the promotional materials for Gardasil and Cervarix as cervical cancer preventatives are filled with half-truths at best perhaps even out and out lies. Gardasil and Cervarix are promoted as cancer vaccines. They are not! Both vaccines are designed to combat two HPV types associated with cervical cancer. Even if these vaccines do exactly what they are meant to do eliminate the two high risk types of HPV, no one will know if the vaccines have any impact on cervical cancer for decades. The following chart illustrates these facts perfectly. There is no doubt major pharmaceutical manufacturers such as Merck and GlaxoSmithKline stay abreast of information released by the World Health Organization, particularly if that information pertains to one of their top revenue producing products. If they do, then both companies are well aware of the information in the following chart. Pay close attention to the numbers below. You will see the figures at the bottom of the pyramid quoted all over the place. You will not see the number at the top quoted, particularly by HPV vaccine manufacturers. This is the number medical consumers need to know it clearly shows the virtually non-existent risk posed by being infected with so-called carcinogenic HPV. Keep in mind this is a World Health Organization estimate which clearly states that only 0.15% of those infected with carcinogenic HPV (high-risk HPV) will ever develop cervical cancer much less die from it. It certainly doesnt make a good argument for universal HPV vaccination programs, does it? This was originally published on a womens health site which is jointly sponsored by Japan Vaccines Co. Ltd and GlaxoSmithKline andcan be viewed here. The site is of course in Japanese, but you can clearly see the chart on the bottom left-hand side of the page. Its easy to see why everyone so afraid of being infected with HPV. The pharmaceutical companies marketing experts have done their job so well that no one is able to see the simple truth. The truth is 99.85% of those exposed to carcinogenic HPV will never develop cervical cancer! In light of this revelation, why would anyone subject themselves or their child to the potential risks of vaccination? Consider the adverse event analysis below for those in the age group 7 to 18: This chart compares the percentage of reports to the US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System after HPV vaccines versus the 13 other vaccines used in the same age group. Why do HPV vaccines account for such a high percentage of the total reports? What is so different about Gardasil and Cervarix? Pap Screening versus HPV vaccines Pap screening and the prompt treatment of abnormal cervical cells has never caused convulsions, partial paralysis, severe neurological damage, autoimmune disorders, seizures, chronic fatigue syndrome or death. The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) was established in 1990. There are 80 vaccines FDA-approved for use in the United States. HPV vaccines account for 25% of the entire VAERS database despite the fact they have been on the market for less than seven years. This is no small accomplishment considering Gardasil and Cervarix have been on the market less than seven years? Why add the risk of using Gardasil or Cervarix to a cervical cancer prevention program when pap screening has been proven safe and effective, particularly when the need for pap screening is not eliminated by HPV vaccine administration? Your Choice: Medical Consumer or Guinea Pig We live in a world where few women, if any, need ever die from cervical cancer. Why dont governments simply concentrate on providing the already proven safe and effective means of controlling cervical cancer? Are you willing to put pharmaceutical manufacturers and government health officials in the drivers seat when it comes to your health or that of your children? Are you willing to trust the words of advertising campaigns built on half-truths and questionable research? Are you willing to blindly trust government health officials who get their advice from experts with a financial stake in the vaccine game? Are you willing to put your life in the hands of people other than yourself? If the answer to any one of the above questions is no, then it is high time to let the world know that you are a medical consumer not a guinea pig. Show the pharmaceutical companies you are willing to be an educated medical consumer. Let health officials know you and your family are not guinea pigs for the vaccine industry! 
3	Why Is China Having Measles Outbreaks When 99% Are Vaccinated?Sayer Ji A recent study published in PLoS titled, Difficulties in eliminating measles and controlling rubella and mumps: a cross-sectional study of a first measles and rubella vaccination and a second measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination,has brought to light the glaring ineffectiveness of two measles vaccines (measlesrubella (MR) or measlesmumpsrubella (MMR) ) in fulfilling their widely claimed promise of preventing outbreaks in highly vaccine compliant populations. The reported coverage of the measles-rubella (MR) or measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine is greater than 99.0% in Zhejiang province. However, the incidence of measles, mumps, and rubella remains high. [emphasis added] Chinas Great Mandatory Vaccine Experiment FAILURE Zhejiang is an eastern coastal province of the Peoples Republic of China and home to 55 million inhabitants. All children there receive a compulsory first dose of MR at 8 months and another dose of theMMR vaccine at 1824 months. In the new study researchers analyzed a subset of 1,015 Zehjiang inhabitants and found that despite the recent measles outbreaks 93.6% of them were seropositive for measles antibodies, meaning they had presumably vaccine-induced protective antibodies against measles in their blood serum more than is required to obtain so-called herd immunity threshold of 88%92%, which is often claimed to be the solution to extinguishing infectious diseases altogether.[2] And yet despite this theoretical protection, eight-seven (8.6%) of the subjects developed measles anyway. Another recent study, published in the highly authorativeBulletin of the World Health Organization, looked at recent measles occurrences throughout China and found that there were 707 measles outbreaks in the country recorded between 2009 and 2012, with a steep trend upwards in 2013: The number of measles cases reported in the first 10 months of 2013 26443 was three times the number reported in the whole of 2012. This is all the more odd considering thatsince 2009 the first dose of measles-virus-containing vaccine has reached more than 90% of the target population. One would expect with increasing measles vaccine uptake there would result in adecrease in measles incidence. Clearly the vaccines arent as effective as claimed, nor is the concept of herd immunity which is debunked and decimated here and here supported unequivocally by the epidemiological evidence. The failure of vaccine-induced antibody titers to protect against vaccine preventable disease may make more sense when you consider the antibody-based theory of vaccine efficacy a fundamental tenet of vaccinology/immunology was recently called into question: Study Calls Into Question Primary Justification for Vaccines. Injecting aluminum and other highly immunotoxic adjuvants into the body in order to stimulate elevated antibody titers does not in and of itself guarantee their affinity for the antigen they are supposed to be protecting you against. To the contrary, It is much like saying you have improved the overall health of the beehive by kicking it with your boot to stir its angry residents and getting them to sting (and hence die) the closest thing around them. We highly suggest you obtain a copy ofTetyana Obukhanychslayperson oriented book Vaccine Illusion(she is a Ph.D. in immunology from Rockefeller University, New York, NY) to learn the almost universally repressed truth about the dangers and ineffectiveness of vaccines. In 2005, the Regional Committee of WHO Western Pacific Region established 2012 as the target date for the complete regional elimination of measles, and the Chinese Ministry of Health initiated mandatory measles vaccination to accomplish this. A year later, in 2006, China set a goal of accelerating the progress of eliminating measles by 2012, striving to keep measles incidence below 0.1 per 100,000, and then developed a series of vaccination strategies to execute these goals. And yet, despite the full and near universal implementation of multi-dose vaccines, measles, mumps and rubella outbreaks continued to afflict those receiving them: Measles outbreaks continued in 2008, with 12782 cases reported, which translated to 252.61 per million of the population. From 2009 to 2011, the incidence of measles remained high at 3.1417.2 per million of the population. Similarly, the incidence of mumps increased from 394.32 to 558.26 per million of the population in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Finally, the reported cases of rubella increased from 3284 to 4284 in 2007 and 2011, respectively, representing a 30.45% increase or an increase from 65.94 to 78.71 per million of the population. Therefore, the elimination of measles and control of mumps and rubella are urgent public health priorities in local regions. [1] As we have explored in a previous article, Measles: A Rash of Misinformation, the measles vaccine is not nearly as safe and effective as is widely believed. Measles outbreaks have consistently occurred in highly immunization complaint populations. For a more extensive review of the epidemiological literature on measles outbreaks happening within highly vaccine complaint populations read: The 2013 Measles Outbreak: A Failing Vaccine, Not A Failure To Vaccinate. Sadly, the latest study concludes with the recommendation that theMMR vaccine should be increased to two doses with the first dose at 8 months and the second dose at 1824 months. They further suggest, that in addition to another MMR vaccine, An MR vaccination speed-up campaign may be necessary for elder adolescents and young adults, particularly young females. As has been the historical response pattern of the medical establishments pro-vaccine agenda when facing the evidence of their failed vaccine campaigns, instead of acknowledging the folly of relying exclusively on a vaccine-centric view of immunity (what about nutrition, vitamin D, improved sanitation and hygiene?) they default counter-intuitively to increasing the number of vaccines given, adding 1 or 2 boosters when the vaccines clearly are not working. [Take a look at otherfailed vaccine campaigns here, often followed by the same dead-end recommendations.]This intellectually dishonest and callous approach, in fact, is a primary driver for the expansion of already dangerously high number of vaccines that are presently populating the CDCs arguably insane immunization schedule a schedule with the highest number of vaccines in the world, and which we are supposed to believe has nothing to do with the exponentially increasing autism rate (1 in 5,000 in 1975; 1 in 65 today) in our country, or its shameful if not outrageous33th-worst infant mortality rate in the developed world. Another highly concerning problem with the new study is its conspicuous lack of mention of the known unintended, adverse effects of vaccination. In fact, earlier this year we reported on another Chinese vaccine study that found that 42% of Drug Reactions Are Vaccine Related, groundbreaking Chinese Study Finds. And of course, we cannot leave out mention of what is likely the greatest medical cover-up of our time: the senior vaccine scientist William Thompson at the CDC blows the whistle on how his agency covered up the autism/vaccine link for over a decade (and likely much more malfeasance still to be uncovered), and which is still ongoing, as no mainstream media group has yet to cover the facts of the story in a serious or honest manner. How many of these Chinese infants and children will undergo neurodevelopmental regression or suffer other neurological insults as a result of using the same MMR vaccine the CDC identified as doing harm to African-American boys? We may never know, but we can be certain that they are not immune to the well-documented dangers. Given the gravity of potential harms associated with routine vaccines, juxtaposed to the perhaps far lesser risk associated with contracting what were once considered normal, immune system building natural infections (measles), the issue here is really about balancing the pros versus the cons, with the medical literature itself guiding parents decisions, who have the legal right and responsibility to choose what medical interventions their children should succumb to.

1	While standing in his kitchen Thursday, 36-year-old Michael Morse briefly flirted with the idea of scooping ice cream from its carton into a bowl prior to eating it, an action ultimately rejected as unnecessary after calculating the precious seconds that would be squandered in the effort, household sources reported. After evaluating the logistics at play, it quickly became apparent that transporting the ice cream in a straight line from the carton to my face was the quickest and most efficient process, said Morse, who contended that an intermediate vessel was not only needless, but also a liability in terms of rapid ice cream consumption. This is double fudge ice cream were talking about here, so transferring it to my mouth, and ultimately my belly, as expeditiously as possible was my chief concern; thus, a bowl was summarily ruled out. Mmm! Oh, God, this is good. At press time, Morse looked down at his spoon and momentarily considered cutting down the process even further by forgoing the utensil altogether before ultimately deciding against it. 
2	Obama Cancels Bombing Of ISIS MidJust when you think Obama has done it all, he does something else that you will hate him for. U.S. pilots were sent to Iraq to bomb ISIS. It turns out that Obama canceled 75% of all strikes that were supposed to be carried out. With a clear target in front of them, Obama still denied they take action. Obama refused to send in troops on foot, as there would be too many casualties, and after agreeing to air strikes, changes his mind at the last minute. Obama claims he is trying to prevent any unnecessary killing of innocent people in Iraq and Syria. What about the American lives he is putting in danger by letting ISIS continue its rampage? Do you think Obama is protecting ISIS? 
2	Obama Announces MASSIVE Executive Order... This Is Terrible News With his second term as president coming to an end, it appears that President Barack Obama is determined to cause as much damage as possible. According to recent reports, the Obama administration is attempting to pass legislation that blatantly violates first amendment rights. By revising the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), the administration intends to limit our right to talk about guns. The State Department claims that the rules of ITAR say that since website communications can be viewed internationally, online communications will fall under the regulations. Essentially, that means Americans would need permission from the government in order to communicate about firearms over the internet. As it stands, those caught violating this rule will face $1 million in fines and up to 20 years in prison. What do you think? Are you sick of the administration violating your rights?

3	Brazil delays approving terminator seed biotech till Feb. 2014Rady Ananda Terminator seeds are lab-engineered for sterility; genes are modified to switch on production of a toxin that would kill off developing plant embryos, reports Nature. Another type of terminator technology is an inducible molecular mechanism, explains Ban Terminator. The gene for seed sterility or germination can be turned on or off from the outside by treating the plants with a chemical or other factor. The risk, according to biologists, is when (not if) the modified plant pollinates natural plants and passes on externally controlled sterility. The other risk is that all seeds will become controlled by corporations, so that seed saving becomes impossible. As the last 150 years have shown, when corporations control a market, things die and people go broke. Since the introduction of GM seeds into the environment, innumerable contamination events have occurred. Back in 2006, it was determined that GM rice had contaminated a full third of the US rice supply. By its own admission, the biotech industry cannot prevent genetic contamination. In court, Bayer CropScience defended its containment protocols, saying they were equal to or exceeded industry standards when the test rice escaped into the general supplies, adding, Even the best practices cant guarantee perfection. [emphasis added] A destructive technology incapable of being contained should be banned entirely. In fact, in 2000, 193 countries agreed to a moratorium on terminator technology at the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. That agreement was reaffirmed in 2006, and is expected to be discussed in October 2014 in Korea at the next CBD meeting. Brazil is the frontline. If the agro-industry breaks the moratorium here, theyll break it everywhere, said Maria Jos Guazzelli, of Centro Ecolgico, which represents a coalition of Brazilian NGOs. Centro Ecolgico presented a petition signed by 34,000 to the Brazilian authorities and is calling for more. Organizations can sign at Ban Terminator. English speakers can sign the petition on change.org. (NOTE: You must enter your first name (Nome), last name (Sobrenome), email address, street address (Endereo), city (Cidade), state (Estado), zip code (CEP); tick the first box if you want to receive mailings from change.org; tick the second box if you want to receive updates on the Terminator issue.) Though Brazil initially plans to plant non-food terminator seeds, the door is opened to later approve food plantings with this technology. It hopes to plant terminator eucalyptus forests. Already seven states have planted GM trees in the Southeast US, replacing entire ecosystems with trees that exude pesticide from its roots to its bark to its leaves and twigs. The Global Justice Ecology Project created a documentary in 2005 that describes GM trees as killing machines. (Myreview here.)

2	Surround The White House: Congressman Calls On Americans To Stop Obama From Something Huge Amongst rumors that President Barack Obama plans to issue amnesty for illegal immigrants, Iowa Republican Representative Steve King is calling for Americans to take action. In an interview with Newsmax TV, King called on Americans to march to Washington and surround the White House in protest. King also warned that if the president were to follow through on his plans, America would be turned into a lawless third-world nation with a king in the White House. He also argued that the president should be impeached before that can happen. Ive said that wherever I am, if Im not in Washington, I will go to the airportIm going to call on John Boehner to call for a special session, King said, speaking of what he would do in the event of amnesty. Im going to hope he beats me to that, I hope hes anticipating that too. If were not willing to go there and protest outside of the Presidents residents, then I dont know how we stop this, King told viewers. He went on to discuss Obamas lack of respect for the foundation set forth in our countrys history, claiming a lawless president in the United States, occupying the White House, is not something our founding fathers ever imagined would happenwell I guess they did, because they put that provision [impeachment] in the Constitution to deal with it. What do you think of Kings comments? Would you travel to the White House to protest? 
2	Which Christmas Song Black Community Is Now Deeming Racist This is just getting a little out of hand. According to recent reports, racial activists took to Twitter yesterday to complain about Darius Rucker singling the Christmas classic White Christmas at the 82nd annual Christmas Tree lighting ceremony in New York City. Those were offended feel like using anything with the word white so near the rulings in the Mike Brown and Eric Garner cases is distasteful. Read some of the tweets below: @baratude: Darius Rucker singing White Christmas unironically @theleenzo: Darius Rucker singing White Christmas in Rockefeller Center. One block over, streets shut down for Eric Garner. Utterly surreal. @elprofe316: Of course they have Darius Rucker singing Dreaming of a white Christmas fucking white people. What do you think of the song choice? Are people taking the song way out of context?

'It was really good to see the guy who does Heathcliff. He looks the same as he did last year,' Davis said. 'He's one of the only people I can really talk to about doing cat cartoons.' The guy who does Heathcliff was not asked to comment. 
2	Donald Trump Consumed By MASSIVE Scandal... This Could Be The End While Donald Trump continues to win over Americans throughout the country, the liberal media has shifted from attacking him to attacking his family. Now, a new report indicates that a story from 1927 suggesting that Trumps father, Fred Trump, was arrested during a KKK riot could come back to haunt him. According to the article, which is yet to be confirmed, Fred Trump was taken into custody during a free-for-all involving law enforcement and klansmen. Experts have pointed out that the arrest does not necessarily conclude that Trumps father was a member of the group. In fact, the article merely states that Fred was arrested in the near-riot of the parade. In fact, he was discharged immediately after appearing before a judge. It is very possible that he was an innocent bystander in the incident, or that the Fred Trump referred to in the article is another person entirely. Of course, Trump is vehemently denying the accusations. This is ridiculous, he told reporters. He was never arrested. He has nothing to do with this. This never happenedIts a completely false, ridiculous story. He was never there! Thinkif it had, he would never have been able to get licenses in New York for anything associated with his business, he concluded. True or not, the reports could come back to haunt Trump, who has been painted as a white supremacist by liberals. 
2	BREAKING: House Turns Against Obama Gives Him The Worst News Of His Presidency... The House of Representatives recently gave Barack Obama some bad news on when they passed a measure that will block him from funding favored political organizations through penalties levied against banks. The finally vote for the Stop Settlement Slush Funds Act of 2016 was 241-174. Five Democrats joined with the Republicans present to approve the law. The decision followed the revelation that the Obama administration has been employing extra-constitutional ways to get around Congress and fund many of its favorite organizations. Obamas Justice Department reportedly forced multi-billion settlements with most of the major banks in the country, before offering them the option of paying back some or all of the amounts owed on a better than two-for-one dollar basis by donating to approved organizationsinstead of remitting all the money to the national Treasury. Bank of American reportedly donated $1.15 million to the National Urban League, which counts as if it were $2.6 million against the banks settlement. Similarly, $1.5 million to La Raza takes $3.5 million off the total amount of consumer relief owned by the bank. Many of these groups engage in voter registration, community organizing and lobbying on liberal policy priorities at every level of government, the Wall Street Journal continued. They also provide grants to other liberal groups not eligible for payouts under the settlements. Thanks to the Obama administration, and the fundability of money, the settlements beneficiaries can now devote hundreds of thousands of even millions of dollars to these activities. In April, the measure was introduced by House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte. It was designed to make it illegal for government officials from enforcing settlements that funnel money to third parties. Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat, the Constitution is clear: Congress shall have the power to appropriate, Goodlatte said in a House Judiciary Committee press release, after the bill was passed. The practices discovered within the DOJ must be stopped. The passage of this bill by the House ensures the recovered funds are used to benefit direct victims and not special interests, and brings accountability to the Executive Branch as a whole. What do you think of the new measure? 
1	NEW YORK, LOS ANGELES, and WASHINGTON, DCWith the Dow Jones average down over 600 points, factory productivity in a downward spiral, and workplace attendance down by nearly a third, experts say the U.S. World Cup team's heartbreaking 3-0 defeat at the hands of Czech Republic on Monday has brought life across the soccer-crazed nation to a virtual standstill. 'What happened in Gelsenkirchen has indeed dealt a grievous blow to the morale of the American people,' said President Bush, who had promised his constituency a swift and speedy victory in the World Cup this year and whose popularity has taken a 9 percent hit since the U.S. team's loss. 'I want the citizens of this great nation, the world's only remaining superpower, to know that I grieve alongside them and urge them to be strong in our hour of darkness, and urge them to return to their jobs and schools despite their heavy hearts.' Mere days ago, the feeling across the nation was one of great joy, eager anticipation, and optimism for the prospects of the most talented American team to ever take the field. It is estimated that over 85 percent of U.S. households were watching the USACzech Republic matchup. And going into the game that most Americans have been waiting for, analyzing, and all but living for during the past four years, schools, offices, shopping centerseverything, in fact, except vital servicesclosed their doors as the game began. Now, days after the end of penalty time, many of those doors are still closed. 'I take full responsibility for losing the game,' said Claudio Reyna, whose shot off the crossbar of the Czech goal as the U.S. trailed 1-0 in the opening half of play has been shown to coincide with a significant bump in the suicide rate, a momentary increase in reports of domestic violence, and a $0.45 increase in the per-gallon price of gasoline. 'But we still have games to play in this opening round. I realize that the United States, more than any other country, loves this game. But that is no reason for so many people to cancel their weddings.' The general feeling of hopelessness may be felt across the United States, the nation the rest of the world thinks of as Pel's adopted home, the land that popularized the term 'soccer,' and Americans are finding many different ways to voice their despair. Hundreds of yards of black bunting hung over the head and arms of the Statue of Liberty has yet to be removed by the New York City Parks Department; similar shrouds have appeared on Mount Rushmore, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Hawaii's Pearl Harbor Memorial. Las Vegas casinos are running skeleton staffs at the tables and doubling the size of security shifts, at once worrying over their empty floors and fearing retribution at the hands of World Cup gamblers who bet on the U.S. out of loyalty. And the House of Representatives, which traditionally remains closed throughout the World Cup, called a special session for the specific purpose of introducing a bipartisan bill that would change America's national sport back to baseball. 'This cannot last,' said Bruce Arena, coach of the U.S. World Cup team and by extension effectively the second-most powerful man in America, in an address televised simultaneously on every national channel Wednesday night. 'We cannot have crops unharvested in the fields, the doors of our churches sealed shut, the Stars and Stripes fixed at half-mast, all because of our dishonorable standard of play. We cannot ask you to forgive our loss to the Czechs, as that must be left to the wisdom of the God of our fathers. We have always been a nation blessed with strength, not only in our love for our soccer teams, but in our love for one another, and we must call on both now if we are to endure these dark days.' At press time, the U.S. team is scheduled to play Italy on Saturday and Ghana the following Thursday, and the National Guard has reported moderate casualties while attempting to contain hooligan activity in the nine largest U.S. cities. 
2	Obama Gets Bad News After AntiThroughout his presidency, Barack Obama has effectively ruined our close relationship with Israel, one of our most trusted allies. He made matters worse this week when he encouraged the United Nations to condemn the West Bank settlers in a controversial vote. Days later, this is coming back to bite him in a major way. The Daily Caller recently reported that Texas Senator Ted Cruz has called on Congress to stop funding United Nations operations until the vote is reversed. The bill made Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine illegal, and demanded that Israel immediately and completely cease all settlement activities. Sen. Lindsey Graham has also presented an initiative to reduce the power of the UN, and it has already garnered support from Republican Sens. Marco Rubio, Tom Cotton, and James Lankford. I anticipate this vote will create a backlash in Congress against the United States, Graham said. The organization is increasingly viewed as anti-Semitic and seems to have lost all sense of proportionality. I will do everything in my power, working with the new administration and Congress, to leave no doubt about where America stands when it comes to the peace process and where we stand with the only true democracy in the Middle East. The vote could have been vetoed by an American vote, but Obama instead abstained from voting. President-elect Donald Trump immediately spoke out against him. As the United States has long maintained, peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians will only come through direct negotiations between the parties, and not through the imposition of terms by the United Nations. This puts Israel is a very poor negotiating position and is extremely unfair to all Israelis, he concluded. What do you think? Are you ready to have Trump in the White House? 
2	FOX NEWS ANCHOR REPORTEDLY TO BE FIRED... You Wont Believe The Reason Why In the past few months, Shepard Smith has proven to be one of the least popular hosts on Fox News. He has gained a reputation for making frequent mistakes and demonstrating remarkable bias. At the end of this week, he again proved that he was unfit to carry out his job. On live television, Smith referred to the reporters traveling with Hillary Clinton as her supporters. Earlier this afternoon Hillary Clinton spoke to supporters on her campaign planeor, I should say reporters, Smith said. Twitter was quick to point out the irony in the mistake.

2	BREAKING: 1 Item Found In El Chapos Hideout Has Barack Obama In All Out Panic According to some breaking new reports, a .50 caliber rifle found at the hideout of Mexican drug lord Joaquin El Chapo Guzman has be definitively linked to the Fast and Furious gun-running scheme headed by the Obama administration. The .50 caliber rifle has the power to take down a helicopter, and was one of 19 weapons found in the drug lords Sinaloa hideout after his capture. Mexican officials have turned over eight of the weapons to American authorities. The Justice Department claimed that none of the weapons were linked to Fast and Furious. Then 11 more were turned over. The rifle was reportedly purchased in July of 2010 by an unknown source. We dont know how it made its way to El Chapo, but that is where it ended up without doubt. It is clear that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives lost track of it. It should be noted that only 885 of the roughly 2,000 firearms in the gun walking scheme have been recovered. Some of them have already been used in violent crimes, like the 2010 gunfight that killed Border Patrol agent Brian Terry. What do you think of these new reports? Do people need to face some serious charges for this? 
2	BREAKING: Bill Clintons Latest Sex Scandal Could Eliminate Hillary From The 2016 Campaign There is pretty much one rule of the White House: dont enter it if youve got skeletons in your closet. A lesser known rule? Dont enter if your husband cant keep it together. Unfortunately for Hillary Clinton, Bill cant control himself, as he displayed in his acts with Monica Lewinsky. Now, it has been revealed that Bill has ties with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender who had several relationships with underage girls. According to an investigation, Clinton frequently flew with Epstein on his private jet. The relationship raises many questions, and has lawyers asking whether they should subpoena the former president in a lawsuit. Reportedly, lawyers in the face have records of correspondence between the two that could indicate that Bill was also having sex with underage women. Namely, a list of email addresses for Bill Clinton and his assistant Doug Band-in. What do you think? Is it time for Hillary to stay out of the White House once and for all?

2	80 Year Old Defenseless Veteran And Cancer Survivor Attacked For Sickening Reason According to recent reports, police are searching for a woman who mugged and attacked a navy veteran and cancer survivor Monday. 87-year-old James Gregg said he considered the woman a friend. It is no surprise, then, that when she called and asked to borrow money he wanted to help. I thought Id help with a few dollars, Gregg told reporters. I had $20 in one hand, I had $10 or $20 in the other hand in case she said, I got to have more. But when Gregg went to give her some of the cash, the woman insisted she took it all. She dragged her nails down his arms, cutting him open. My hand was bleeding so bad, they worked on my hand probably at least two, three hours of pain, Gregg recalled. It was all pain. Gregg said the woman then shoved him back to his home, where he attempted to call for help. She knocked me backwards, Gregg stated. I reach for the telephone, she threw my phone. Gregg is now left in an arm cast, and regrets ever trying to help the woman. I just felt like Id been betrayed and I should neverIm an old nave man, I guess, he commented. Gregg is on a fixed income, but was still willing to spare a few dollars for a friend. The woman has been identified as 25-year-old Ci Ci Smith. Authorities are unsure whether that is her real name. 
2	Sarah Palin Under Fire After Destroying Obama For Final Time The End Of An Error Today, President Barack Obamas presidency is officially coming to an end, and the rest of us can finally watch out country being restored to its full glory. Now, Sarah Palin has just published a brutal review of Obamas presidency on Breitbartand she doesnt hold back. Read her evaluation of Obama below: Like everyones saying, its the end of an error. Obama is gone. Time to undo what the Community Organizer organized for America: astronomically increased debt, a disrespected law enforcement and military community, numerous ticked off allies, newly empowered enemies, erasure of borders, and demographic divisions aplenty. Obama is free now to stammer on about fulfilling his promises, like hell negotiate healthcare reform in public sessions, televised on C-SPAN Everyone gets a seat at the table. Theres a new sheriff in town. Heres hoping hes got a posse of deputies who understand why we elected Donald J. Trump and wont undermine our movement. The mandate: drain the swamp those hell-bent on obstruction included. Its RINO season. We will recover from Obama. The question is, how soon can we recover from the people who voted for him. Twice. 
2	Newt Gingrich Destroys Megyn Kellys Career Live On The Air... Watch What Happened Immediately After [VIDEO] In a segment that has quickly gone viral, Newt Gingrich got into a heated exchange with Megyn Kelly on the air about media bias. Let me point out something to you: The three major networks spent 23 minutes attacking Donald Trump that night, and 57 seconds on Hillary Clintons secret speeches. You dont think that is a scale of bias worthy of Pravda? asked Gingrinch. If Trump is a sexual predator, that is, Kelly began, before she was interrupted by Gingrich. Hes not a sexual predator, Gingrich continued. You cant say that. You could not defend that statement. So it took 23 minutes for the networks to cover that story, and Hillary Clinton had a secret speech in Brazil to a bank that pays her $225,000 saying that her dream is an open border where 600 million people could come to America, that is not worth covering? Gingrich argued. Do you want me to go back to the tapes of your show recently. You are fascinated with sex, and you dont care about public policy. Watch the exchange below and tell us what you think. 
1	Panic is spreading among American dog owners, following the Center for Veterinary Medicine's Monday announcement that the arrival of a deadly mutant strain of Africanized killer fleas is imminent. 'No dog is safe,' CVM director Stephen Sundlof said. 'While canines around the U.S. innocently fetch sticks and chase their tails, killer fleas are migrating north at a rate of two kilometers a day. They've already invaded the border towns of Texas and California. We've got to act now, before our pets pay the price.' Killer fleas, a staple of '70s B-movies like The Bloodsucking Swarm, I.T.C.H., and Roger Corman's Night Of The Fleas, are not, in fact, poisonous. The danger lies in the parasites' excessive defensiveness, extreme resilience, and tendency to swarm. 'Africanized fleas are capable of draining a full-grown collie in less than 24 hours,' Sundlof said. 'They attack in massive numbers, sometimes completely covering the animal, leaving only his eyes and tongue visible. Even if given a blood transfusion, a dog infested with Africanized fleas will often scratch himself so vigorously that he either bleeds to death or collapses from exhaustion. And regular flea powders are useless against them.' Minneapolis veterinarian Greg Schepke said widespread fear of the deadly pests is justified. 'It's hard to separate fact from fiction, as most of the information we have about the fleas is anecdotal,' Schepke said. 'But if the stories are even half true, killer fleas are capable of cutting a swath of death across our nation, dotting the land with brittle, desiccated doggie husks.' Bred in Brazil at the Sao Paulo Animal Research Facility in the late '60s, Ctenocephalides canis africanus is a crossbreed of the common North American flea and an African variant that infests the tough hides of bull elephants. The Sao Paulo entomologists never meant to release the mutant fleas into the wild, but a 1974 fire at the lab led to the dangerous subspecies' escape. In the past 30 years, Africanized fleas spread from Brazil to South and Central America and on to Mexico. A Hidalgo, TX veterinarian fumigates a puppy infested with Africanized fleas. According to legend, the fleas crossed the U.S. border for the first time in June 2003, when Mexican flea-circus owner Pedro Romero brought his show to McAllen, TX. Romero, whose bone-dry corpse was discovered outside the Hidalgo County fairgrounds, is said to be single-handedly responsible for bringing the menace to America. 'The threat that once seemed straight out of a Saturday afternoon science-fiction matinee is now real,' said entomologist Harvey Smithson, author of the Africanized-flea tracts Unleashed! and No Day At The Park. 'With no natural predators in America, these super-fleas will be unstoppable. They can jump from dog to dog at distances of up to 35 yards. One doghouse after another will be surrendered to the marauding fleas.' Police sergeant Tom Lafferty, head of the Laredo K-9 Korps, said his force is taking serious measures to prepare for the killers' arrival. 'We've reinforced all our doghouses with quarter-inch steel plateskiller fleas can burrow through concrete like cardboard,' Lafferty said. 'And don't bother with plastic flea collars. Killer fleas chew straight through those.' Added Lafferty: 'The force over in Asherton has already lost 10 of their best dogs.' Basset hound owner Hank Jeffreys of Carpentersville, IL said the government must protect the nation's pets. 'I hear the Feds developed a top-secret super-shampoo, but it's too dangerous to use because it contains radioactive isotopes,' Jeffreys said. 'How am I supposed to keep my Woofers safe? Even if you isolate the furry little victim and subject him to chemical baths, there's a danger of immediate re-infestation. At this point, the only effective treatment is the mega-flea-collar, but it weighs 45 pounds and gives off such intense fumes that it makes dog owners hallucinate.' In spite of the impending infestation of America, Sundlof urged dog lovers to remain calm. 'Should your dog become infested, isolate the animal and contact federal pest-control agents immediately,' Sundlof said. 'When the killer mutant ringworm fungus arrived in Los Angeles from Tokyo, we developed ways to deal with it. We can lick this, too.'

2	Small Town Allowed To Keep Christmas Parade, But Have To Keep One Figure Out Of It According to recent reports, residents of a small town in Alabama are being told that they can continue their annual tradition of a big Christmas paradegiven, of course, that they keep Christ out of it. The celebration in Piedmont is known for drawing large crowds, featuring the high school marching band and sports team, and guest-starring Santa Claus. However, this year, the towns parade committee has been told it is not allowed to select Keep Christ in Christmas as its theme. According to Mayor Bill Baker, the news was entirely unexpected. And it has not been received well, given that the majority of residents are Christians. It was a great theme, Baker told reporters. I was totally shocked when I received the letter. Its a small town. Its a small Christmas parade. We didnt think there would be any problems at all. Of course, the problem can be traced back to the Freedom From Religion Foundation, who claimed that one of the towns residents was upset that the theme alienates non-Christians and others in Piedmont who do not in fact have a strong belief in prayers by turning them into political outsiders in their own community. What do you think of the restrictions on the Christian town? 
1	Following an evening spent out at a local brewpub, area man Patrick Fitzgerald took the initiative Wednesday night to invite local woman Alicia Powell up to his apartment to see his glaring red flags, sources confirmed. Let me give you the tour, the 29-year-old said, opening the front door of his residence to reveal a living space full of such egregious warning signs as a framed hockey jersey, dozens of empty plastic liquor bottles atop his cabinets, and two and a half years of Maxim back issues. Its not that much, but the price is right. Here, have a seat on my futon [that also serves as a bed]. In spite of the many cautionary signals visible in Fitzgeralds apartment, Powell reportedly decided to stay overnight anyway, as Fitzgerald either hadnt noticed or didnt care about her own obvious red flags of texting throughout their dinner conversation and the ankh tattoo on her wrist.

1	Addressing a group of fellow Carver High School students assembled in the school's commons area, 17-year-old Todd Kelso announced Monday that he is 'definitely' going to Burning Man next year. Todd Kelso says there is 'no chance' he will miss next year's Burning Man, a week-long gathering in the Nevada desert capped off by the burning of a giant human-figure sculpture (inset). 'There's no way I'm gonna miss Burning Man next year,' Kelso said of the annual week-long gathering in Nevada's Black Rock Desert, held Aug. 31-Sept. 7 this year. 'It's the coolest fuckin' thing ever, manI heard from this guy that all these naked chicks dance around in silver body paint, and there's this 50-foot floating couch that has lasers coming out of it. It's like this whole alternative community.' Kelso, who was unable to attend this year's event due to transportation problems, first learned of Burning Man in September 1997, when MTV News anchor Kurt Loder delivered a live, on-location report from the festival. Ever since seeing the MTV segment, Kelso has been committed to attending the festival. 'All these really cool people drive out to the middle of the desert to smoke weed and set this big huge statue on fire,' Kelso said. 'But it's not about acting all crazy. It's about getting in touch with your primal roots. It's about creating this whole other way of living in this alternate community. Plus, supposedly, there's a fire-breathing car that looks like a shark.' Added Kelso: 'It's gonna be so awesome.' Already preparing for next year's event, Kelso said he is setting aside $5 from each paycheck from his bagboy job at Pic-N-Sav for the $100 Burning Man admission fee. He is earmarking an additional $5 from each paycheck for much-needed repairs for his 1982 Chevy Chevette. Kelso has also begun giving serious consideration to his choice of costume. 'I was thinking about going in some kinda crazy outfit with Christmas lights,' he said, 'or maybe something with big metal spikes like in The Road Warrior.' Added Kelso: 'I think I'm going to cover my whole car in aluminum foil.' Kelso, who said he expects next year's Burning Man to be 'twice as insane' as this year's, has already invited his best friend, Carver High School junior Matt Fleischer, to come along. t 'I don't know too much about it, but I'm up for anything,' said Fleischer, who has already agreed to pitch in half the gas money. 'From what Todd says, it sounds seriously out of control.' According to Kelso, Fleischer is the only Carver High student he could ask to accompany him to Burning Man. 'Anyone else at this school would totally freak over a scene like that,' Kelso said. 'But me and Matt are mature enough to handle it. Plus, the girls at Burning Man are supposed to be way more sexually liberated than the ones at Carver. The chicks here suck.' 'Burning Man is going to be mind-blowing. And I'll be 18 next summer, so I won't have to answer to anyone,' said Kelso, heading to his fifth-period algebra class. 'I missed out big-time this year, but there's no way I'm going to make the same mistake next year. No fucking way.' 
3	Genetically Modified Humans? New Gene-Altering Drug Paves Way for Mass ModificationMike Barrett Glybera, the drug which was approved in Europe on November 1, was created to combat against a rare disorder leading to disrupted fat production. Those suffering this rare disease possess what scientists describe as a damaged gene; the drug is meant to repair the damaged gene. While the drug is only meant to be given to 1 or 2 out of every million people, it paves way for further experimentation into the field of biotechnology and human alteration. Soon, doctors may be giving out drugs to treat any defects in genes, whether it be for the so-called fat gene or another instance where a damaged gene is present. It could even apply topurported criminal genes that are said to predict an individuals future life of crime. It may sound crazy, but scientists are already making even more serious moves that will alter or create humankind. Further Genetically Modifying Humanity Although gene-altering drugs are indeed helping to pave the way for further human genetic modification, it is only a single move in the game. Just a few months ago, we reported on the very first group of genetically modified babies being created in the United States. The scientists stated that 30 babies were born using genetic modification techniques. In addition, 2 of the babies tested were found to contain genes from a total of 3 different parents. Genetecists state that this genetic modification method may one day be used to create genetically modified babies with extra, desired characteristics such as strength or high intelligence. While gene-altering drugs and GM babies may appeal to the general public, scientists and biotech companies heavily funded by the government have been working on achieving a much larger feat -genetically modified humans in the form of super soldiers. These GM humans go beyond even the imagination, not requiring food or sleep to perform Olympic-style physical feats, while being able to regrow limbs that were destroyed by enemy fire. The fact is that humankind has been moving toward a genetically altered existence for some time now, unknown by the general public. While the mainstream media will have you believe that drugs to repair damaged genes is the answer, no one really knows the kind of dangers that could come with such advancements. Weve already seen how genetically modified foods can cause tumors and even early death why wait to see what happens when altering the human genetic code.

1	The best athlete in the world, 26-year-old Umaru Conteh, whose natural talents would earn him unimaginable fortune as a global star had he been born into a society with a leisure economy sufficient to support professional sports, was on Saturday marched back into the mine where he is forced to work by armed guards.'Go!' the AK-47-wielding man screamed at Conteh, whose one-in-a-billion combination of unbelievably dense fast-twitch muscle, otherworldly eye-hand coordination, and lightning reflexes would enable him to excel in any sport, despite his never having tasted clean water during his two decades of shackled labor in a poorly lit mine. 'Down the shaft! Now!' After working for 18 consecutive hours to extract a tiny engagement-ring stone for a twice-divorced Tampa, FL real estate agent, Conteh was transported back home to the slum where he will die years before his unsuspected athletic abilities have a chance to decline. 
3	An (Augmented) View of a Future in SightBy Nicholas West Some researchers believe that the vast majority of these works have been a coordinated method of predictive programming that has been deliberately introduced to ensure that we are softened up for a reality that would at first seem inconceivable, but when later mirrored in the real world becomes easily accepted as the obvious evolution of an advanced society. The following short sci-fi film is not making any great leaps when it demonstrates a future of augmented reality through the (contact) lens of a computer app-driven interface. Augmented reality apps for the iPhone have been around for years, and continue to grow in popularity. Nor does the film below make an unbelievable jump in assuming that this future reality could be driven by a game-like incentive system; we can see that this is already an addictive pastime for countless millions of Facebook gamers through Zynga. The systems are in place, but as yet have been available only through external devices. All that has been needed to create an all-encompassing new reality is to integrate information into the first-person everyday human experiential view. The actual principles behind a first-person, human-computer interface system have been around for many decades it can be seen in combat zones around the world through the militaryHeads Up Display system (HUD). These principles, which began pre-WWII for fighter pilots, are now finding their way into the consumer market in video games,vehicles, and through info eyeglasses like Google X, which is supposed to be out by years end. Contact lenses are the next logical step, and in fact are already in development by the Department of Defense through a system callediOptik and projected to be available to consumers in 2014. As with nearly all computer interface and intelligence-driven systems, it is important to realize that these have generally been funded and implemented from the start by the military-industrial complex, and are likely to have been in existence for at least decades before trickling down to the consumer level. With government now openly embracing a Minority Report-like future of pre-crime high-tech surveillance systems, combined with an insatiable imperial hubris that continues to devalue human life, all wrapped in a shroud of elite misanthropic thought known as Transhumanism, perhaps this should be the greatest cautionary note of all when we imagine our future.

1	Patriots head coach Bill Belichick's reputation for possessing a keen, incisive intelligence and being able to intuitively grasp all pertinent aspects of a problem took a major hit Tuesday when, while fielding reporters' questions at his daily press conference, he stammered through his response to a Business Week reporter's routine inquiry concerning alternative economic approaches to societal trends. 'Well, we, uh, I guess it's like the salary cap all teams operate under, as far as Is commodification the word I want to use here?' said Belichick, obviously attempting to dodge the question in what onlookers called a 'humiliating moment of mere mortality for the acknowledged genius.' 'I don't know if Keynesian theory is what I want here, but A football game is a service, I guess, in terms of Keynesian market concepts No, wait, I think I'm thinking of Thorstein Veblen. You know what? Any questions on how we're planning for the Colts' passing game?' Patriots players would not comment directly on their coach's public failure to live up to his reputation, although some players were heard wondering aloud how a coach with such severely limited economic knowledge could in good faith call himself an offensive innovator. 
2	Ted Nuget Brutally UNLEASHES On Obama: If Hes A Christian, Then Im A Gay Vegetarian Pirate Famous Musician Ted Nugent just went after Obama on Twitterand it is epic. Nugent used his social media account to criticize the President for his stances on Planned Parenthood, and lying to the American people about being a Christian. Obama is a Christian Im a gay vegetarian pirate, Nugent tweeted. The conversation comes at a time when Obamas entire identity in question, after presidential hopeful Donald Trump was attacked for not defending him when an audience member at a recent event referred to Obama as a Muslim. Am I morally obligated to defend the president every time somebody says something bad or controversial about him? Trump tweeted. I dont think so! What do you think? Do you support Trump and Nugent? 
2	Muslim Sets Little Girl On Fire For Wearing Lipstick [VIDEO] Warning: This story contains graphic content. According to some disturbing new reports, an 11-year-old girl has been left brutally injured after a Muslim neighbor set her on fire. Apparently, the man also sexually assaulted the young girl. Why? Because she was wearing lipstick as part of a dress up game. Reportedly, the man had warned the young girl not to wear makeup that was against Islamic law. Unfortunately, the little girl continued to play. As a result, she was burned with kerosene. Police have since arrested the 55-year-old man, who was reportedly a close friend of the family. The conditions of the little girl are not improving, and she is left with 99% of her body burned from the incident. The video is available for viewing here. 
2	Family In Missouri Welcomed Muslim Migrant In Their Home This Just Happened To Them According to recent reports, a 25-year-old Libyan man who was accused of being part of a terrorist organization has just plead guilty to two felonies on Thursday. Ali Swei pleaded guilty to aggravated stalking and attempted robbery by coercion. Prosecutors also say that he threatened to kill the family that was sponsoring him, and threatened their relatives in Libya. Swei was also accused of threatening to harm the Libyan immigrant family he was staying with if they did not pay him $30,000. A member of the family, who chose not to be identified publically, says he believes the guilty pleas will result in Sweis deportation. I am so relieve for my family; its really been a roller coaster, especially for my wife, the man told reporters at Fox 4. Its really heartbreakingits nervousness. She doesnt sleep. She has nightmares. Shes worried all the threats hopefully are nevernever.no family will ever go through what we have gone through. Sweis lawyer, Andrew Christie, denied that the Libyan student is part of a terrorist organization. He argues that FBI reports show that the government has no interest in him as a danger, but he denied to comment on Sweis immigration status. As part of a plea deal, Swei was placed on probation for 4 years. His sentence was suspended. The judge argued that the guilty pleas could prevent Swei from becoming a citizen, permanent resident, or could even result in deportation. 
1	Uh-oh, according to alarmed sources across the nation, a picture of a crying woman appeared on the front page of a national newspaper this morning. Ah, shitthis cant be good, Arlington, TX resident James Licari said in unison with 300 million Americans, noting that the photo was prominently displayed at the top of the page beneath a brief, bold headline and accompanied by several smaller photographs. Theres a uniformed man in the background andshittheres definitely a child. Theres a woman crying and theres a small child. Fuck, its happening again, he added. Its definitely happening again. While admitting that they had not yet mustered the courage to examine the photograph closely, sources confirmed that the woman pictured is sobbing uncontrollably and, Jesus, appears to be standing in a public place, most likely a school or church. In addition, increasingly agitated sources reported that the woman seems somewhat young but is definitely old enough to be a mother. Sources further confirmed that, oh, nothe words Breaking News appear near the picture of the woman. Great, here we go again, accountant Louisa Sheldon, 25, told reporters as she scanned the newspaper, noting that the troubling photograph is adjacent to a box of numbers and statistics and some kind of timeline or map. Lets see what it is this time, shall we? Might as well get it over with, after all, she added. Im probably going to be hearing about it nonstop for the next week. At press time, web browsers across the nation had reported that, shit, the picture of the woman had appeared in a slideshow with additional slides of more crying people. 
1	While toweling off in front of his vanity mirror Monday, Miami Heat team president Pat Riley stared longingly at a bottle of L'Oral Studio Line hair gel from 1988, pondering the idea of firing Erik Spoelstra and returning to his position as head coach. 'What do you say, old friend?' Riley said to the bottle as he squeezed a dollop of gel into his hand. 'Have you got another 70 games in you?' As of press time, Riley was reportedly asking his comb if it still feels like a champion. 
1	Proponents of family-themed high art fired another salvo in the high-culture wars Monday, saying the new opera Darwin: Origin, Selection, Preservation, Struggle contains provocative lyrics, secular acts, and entire anti-Christian movements. 'To think that this relativist filth could be live at Lincoln Center for young children to see,' said Rev. L. Duncan Hoskins III, an Upper-East-Side Baptist minister and director of the Center For A Better Class Of Family. 'We cannot allow this creeping decay that began with the decadence of La Boheme and spiraled into the subversion that is An American Tragedy to further rot our high society.' Hoskins added that there were many wholesome opera alternatives for traditional men and women of culture, including the Mississippi Opera's marathon 22-hour adaptation of the Left Behind series. 
1	Nestled in the southeast corner of New York State, Manhattan is an old-fashioned sort of community, the kind of place where people still live in close proximity to one another and walk to the corner store to pick up the daily paper. A 1996 photo of Abe and Myra Saunders, whose divorce this week sent shockwaves through the town of Manhattan, NY (see map, left). So when the people of this close-knit burg on the Hudson River found out that two of their own, Abe and Myra Saunders, were divorcing after 23 years of marriage, disbelief was the prevailing response. 'I was stunned when I heard that somebody in our town was getting divorced,' said David Cutler, 37, who said he doesn't know the Saunderses but lives just six blocks from their apartment on 77th Street. 'This just isn't the kind of thing that normally goes on around here.' 'My first reaction was total denialI simply didn't think it was possible,' said Andrea Zimmer, 34, a lifelong resident of the town's sleepy little Upper West Side neighborhood. 'Maybe things like this are considered commonplace in other towns, but not here in Manhattan.' Even more shocking to local residents were the circumstances surrounding the couple's breakup. For the past year and a half, Abe, 48, a tax attorney with the local savings-and-loan Chase Manhattan Bank, has been having a affair with Lisette Solomon, a 26-year-old co-worker. Manhattan Myra, 47, a buyer for Bloomingdale's, a local clothing shop, did not find out about her husband's infidelity until Jan. 21, when he confessed and requested a divorce in order to move in with his mistress. 'Abe's scandalous affair with a younger woman is the talk of the town,' said Elliott Sharperson, a writer for the local paper, The New York Times. 'From the post office to the library to the butcher shop, pretty much anywhere you go around here, that's all anyone's talking about.' 'Can you imagine? A tax attorney secretly sleeping with a woman 22 years his junior?' said Manhattan resident Edna Rudolph. 'I don't know how Abe can ever expect to walk down the street in this town again without feeling like everyone's staring at him. The shame he must feel.'

2	Megyn Kelly Shocks Fans With Major Announcement [VIDEO] Fox News Megyn Kelly and Republican candidate Donald Trump have been going head to head for some time now. The feud stems from the first Republican debate in August 2015, when Kelly asked Trump what he later deemed to be overly personal and unfair questions. Now, Kelly is going after fellow Fox News star Bill OReilly, arguing that he should have defended her more. Her comment followed an interview of Trump on The OReilly Factor. I do wish that OReilly had defended me more in his interview with Trump, she commented. I would have defended him more. Honestly? People think Im fearless. But Im human. I was not looking forward to going out on that stage and dealing with Trump if he was going to attack me. Kelly added that she felt the pressure of that and the stress of that but ultimately decided to tackle the situation head-on. She also criticized Trump for skipping the event. The result in Iowa, to the extent it damaged Trumps fortunes, as Trump believes it did, will hopefully serve as a lesson to other politicians that they bully the media at their own peril, Kelly stated. Ive been thinking about the Margaret Thatcher quote where she said something, I love when they attack me personally because it means they dont have a political argument left. Now, Trump has declined to take the stage at the upcoming debate in Salt Lake City, and Kasich will also not be appearing. That means that the event slotted for next Monday has been canceled. What do you think of Kellys comments? 
3	Practical Guide to Protesting in a Police StateHow to stay safe when exercising your rights. If youre planning on participating in a peaceful demonstration or protest, keep one thing in mind: at any time it could turn into a bloody riot. In the past it has been a common practice for governments to send provocateurs to mingle among the demonstrators until a given time or signal, and then to begin instigating violence as both a way to demonize the peaceful protesters in the media, and as an excuse to send in the riot troops to bust heads. As demonstrations around the world can attest to, this tactic has not gone out of fashion. So what should you do if suddenly rubber bullets, tear gas canisters, and flash bang grenades are whizzing past you and a hundred Mad Max extras waving clubs start goose-stepping in your direction? The following will provide you some tips and advice to keep you as safe as possible should you suddenly find yourself in a war zone. Clothing When the stormtroopers make their appearance at your protest march, youll notice they come dressed to kill. They typically wear helmets, face shields, gas masks, chest protectors, elbow pads, knee and shin pads, and combat boots. In addition, they will carry shields, batons, Tasers, radios, medical kits, shotguns and pistols. Meanwhile, you are standing there in a t-shirt and flip flops. The first tip is to come dressed for the occasion. What to Wear Long pants and long sleeves to reduce the exposure of skin to RCAs (Riot Control Agents). Wear only cotton or wool. Natural fibers are fire resistant, whereas most of the synthetic materials are highly flammable and can quickly ignite from a spark from a flash bang or Molotov cocktail. When these materials burn they will melt right into your skin and cannot be removed without taking the skin with it. A bicycle helmet can be a life saver in case agitators begin throwing rocks and you happen to be in the line of fire. Also useful as protection against police nightstick attacks. A backpack; fill the book pocket, the pocket that is closest to the back straps, with a large hardcover book. This can act like body armor protecting your back from rubber bullets. In addition, it can be used as a shield by placing your forearm through the shoulder straps and holding the pack as a shield if front of you if you have to escape volleys of projectiles and rubber bullets. A bandanna can be used as an emergency bandage, sweat band, improvised dust mask, and washcloth. Bring work gloves to protect your hands if you have to escape through broken windows, or other sharp wreckage caused by rioting. Wearing gloves will also help prevent burns if you have to remove smoking teargas canisters. Wear work boots or hiking boots, or at least good high-top leather runners. This is to help protect your feet from broken glass and sharp debris on the ground, and will help support your ankles when running, or climbing over barriers. Wear protective eye-wear. The sports-style sunglasses with padding on the inside such as used in racket all and other sports works best. This is to protect against RCAs, rubber bullets and fragments from teargas canisters and Flash Bangs. What to Carry The riot police typically carry a lot of gear and it is a good idea for you to carry some items on your person as well. Water: you can quickly become dehydrated standing outdoors, and access to water may be restricted. Local stores may be closed for fear of rioting and looting and police may block off access to public fountains and washrooms. Bring 2 liters minimum and double if the temperatures are high. Snacks: the excitement and physical exertion can quickly use up your glucose stores and leave you feeling weak and nauseated. Bring some snacks to nibble on through the day to maintain your blood sugar levels. Cell Phone: to call for help, an attorney, or a cab to help you get out if you become trapped or arrested. A cell phone is also useful for filming the violation of human rights. Pocket First Aid Kit: to treat minor injuries like cuts and blisters. Add one or two a chemical cold packs to help treat welts raised by rubber bullets and baton strikes. Small Flashlight: in case youre out after dark and the power goes out. Cash: to pay for parking, or public transportation, or to hire a taxi. Dust Mask: to help filter out riot control agents. Identification: in case you are detained or arrested; providing I.D. can get you released sooner. Attorneys Business Card: If you participate regularly in an activist community you will eventually have an encounter with law enforcement. It is best to be prepared ahead of any such encounter by finding a reputable lawyer that specializes in civil rights cases and get several of his or her business cards to keep in your wallet and another in your protest emergency kit. Dont rely solely on your cell phone for contact information since cell phones and other electronic devices will be seized when you are arrested. How to Deal With Riot Control Agents The term riot control agents (RCAs) refers to several gases commonly known as Tear Gas or Pepper Spray. Exposure to these chemicals can cause skin, nose, and eye irritation, nausea, and respiratory difficulties within minutes. In rare cases, RCAs can cause long-term health complications, blindness, and even death. The effects generally last less than half an hour but can be extremely uncomfortable. The first defense is to try to stay out of the line of fire and away from the front lines of the police. If the chemicals are released in front of you, you should run straight behind you to get out of range. Try to get upwind of the point of release where there is fresh air. If RCAs are deployed inside a building, get out as quickly as possible. The chemicals do not dissipate as they would outdoors, and the high concentrations can be extremely dangerous with prolonged exposure. Get to high ground. RCAs are heavier than air, and the highest concentrations thus tend to be near the ground. Try to get to the highest point possible. This could be up a hill, atop a wall, etc. If you are caught in a smoke cloud, soak a bandanna or other cloth in apple-cider vinegar or lemon juice and tightly cover your mouth and nose with it. (Bring these items in your kit.) Finally, avoid wearing oil-based creams or sunscreens, as these aid absorption of the RCAs. If you are exposed to these agents follow decontamination procedures. In emergencies, dry powder such as flour, baking soda, detergents, or even soil can be used to reduce the quantity of chemical agent available for uptake through the skin. Pouring flour onto the chemical followed by wiping with wet tissue paper is reported to be effective against the nerve agents soman, VX, and mustard gas. How to Escape a Riot Try to look as inconspicuous as possible, and slowly and carefully move to the outside of the mob. Stay close to walls or other protective barriers if possible. Get inside and stay inside if you can. Find a retail store, office building, or coffee shop to go into and off the streets. Look for a rear exit to these buildings that will lead out to a back street where there are no rioters or police and carefully make you way home. It can be dangerous to move against a crowd, so go with the flow until you are able to escape into a doorway or up a side street or alley. It may also be advantageous to stay with the crowd until you are certain you can safely escape because it will help you remain inconspicuous and improve your odds of survival if shots are fired. In addition, police may barricade side routes and ambush anyone seeking to escape the main mob. You do not want to be the only person trying to get past a police barricade. Avoid public transportation. Buses, subways, and trains will likely be out of service, and stations and depots will probably be packed with people. Even if you succeed in getting on a train or bus, rioters may stop it. Subway stations are particularly bad places to be, both because they are difficult to escape and because riot control agents are heavier than air and may drift down into subway stations and accumulate there. Protesting in a police state can be a dangerous exercise of your basic human rights. You cannot trust that unstable elements within the ranks of law enforcement would not instigate violence that would trigger the police into attack mode. You could be entering a war zone, and so to protect yourself and fellow activists make sure you follow the advice given and come prepared. Related: Stefan H.

2	Kid Rock Risks His Career To Come Out Of The Closet... But Its Not What You Expect Kid Rock is best known for being a hardcore rock star, and because of this, many make the assumption that he is a liberal. Although that is typically the case for anyone who touches Hollywood, it is not the story for the southern rocker, who is actually a Republican with relatively conservative views. I am definitely a Republican on fiscal issues and the military, but I lean to the middle on social issues, Kid said in an interview with The Guardian. I am no fan of abortion, but its not up to a man to tell a woman what to do. As an ordained minister, I dont look forward to marrying gay people, but Im not opposed to it. Further, Kid is not afraid to criticize Barack Obama, and is unafraid of making waves with his fans. I played Barack Obamas inauguration even though I didnt vote for him, he told reporters. I didnt agree with his policies, but there was an exciting sense of change in the air. That promise hasnt been fulfilledthe country is more divided than ever. What do you think? Do you support Kid Rock for vocalizing his true views? 
2	BREAKING: John Lewis Gets Devastating News After Running His Mouth At Trump Over the weekend, Democratic Congressman John Lewis sparked a feud with Donald Trump by saying he doesnt consider him to be a legitimate president. Just days after his disrespect, Lewis was just caught in a massive lie. As it turns out, he probably shouldnt have messed with Trump. The Daily Caller reported that Lewis made claims that Trumps inauguration will be the first one he has ever missed. He made it known he will be boycotting the event. But this claim was almost immediately shut down by a Washington Post article for 2001, which revealed that Lewis also boycotted George W. Bushs inauguration. Trump took to Twitter to call Lewis out for his deception: John Lewis said about my inauguration, It will be the first one that Ive missed. WRONG (or lie)! He boycotted Bush 23 also because he thought it would be hypocritical to attend Bushs swearing inhe doesnt believe Bush is the true elected president. Sound familiar! WP Right after Lewis insulted him in an interview, Trump told Lewis he should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results. What do you think? Is this truly embarrassing for Lewis? 
3	Obama Approves EPAs Higher Radiation Exposure Levels for U.S. PopulationBrandon Turbeville EPA is not proposing specific drinking water PAG [Protective Action Guide]at this time. EPA has established enforceable drinking water standards for radionuclides under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). EPA recommends that, to the extent practicable, emergency measures for drinking water be based on the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR) for Radionuclides. The Radionuclides Rule provides states with flexibility when responding to radiological events. If a public water system exceeds the radionuclides standard it must work to get back into compliance as soon as feasible. States have the authority to determine if other corrective actions are needed (e.g. providing alternative water). Guidance on monitoring, notification and protective actions is provided in Chapter 3, along with several online resources for drinking water system operators. However, in light of the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, in which some Japanese drinking water supplies were impacted, the Agency recognizes a short-term emergency drinking water guide may be useful for public health protection. The Agency requests input on the appropriateness of, and possible values for, a drinking water PAG. In Section 3.7, Reentry During the Early and Intermediate Phases, it is determined that levels ranging from 1,000 mrems to 5,000 mrems as cause for evacuation for the general public. However, further in this section, the level of radiation found in soil is determined acceptable at 2,000 mrems for reentry of some displaced individuals. Thus, there seems to be some contradiction in the numbers presented by the EPA. This is a public health policy only Dr. Strangelove could embrace. If this typifies the environmental leadership we can expect from Ms. McCarthy [EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy], then EPA is in for a long, dirty slog, stated PEER Executive Director Jeff Ruch, noting that the EPA package lacks a cogent rationale, is largely impenetrable and hinges on a series of euphemistic weasel words. No compelling justification is offered for increasing the cancer deaths of Americans innocently exposed to corporate miscalculations several hundred-fold. Because PAGs and agency policy decisions such as the ones mentioned above are not the result of Congressional action, these standards will go into effect shortly after the ending of the required period for public comment.

Please contact activistpost (at) gmail.com. this was an inevitable after- effect of Fukushima. first, George W. Bush put the guidelines back up for review right before he left office. So the revision issue was a political ploy to begin the process right as Obama took office. The second Fukushima nuclear or any accident began, we could be certain that the powers that be would put new emergency guidelines into place to once again make the inevitable acceptable. Because the kind of accidents they never thought could happen, did happen not just one nuke, but 3 nukes and 2 spent fuel pools AT A MINIMUM. The scientific evidence is long ago conclusive, even before Chernobyl, let alone Fukushima. Nuclear is a death industry. Nuclear power plants emissions are deadly, gene mutating, fertility destroying behemoths that use the most destructive process ever before known, to boil water, for 30% effiency (at best) at creating electricity. It costs taxpayers to build, taxpayers who are liable for all mistakes, ratepayers that contribute but all profit is PRIVATE! Hows that for a corrupt system? The bombs, nuke plants, nuclear weapons being used in the Middle Eastall of it, is destroying genetic stability, reducing lifespans, responsible for a global rise in cancers and chronic diseases, and increasingly INfertility we are making ourselves extinct or we get sane, cooperative and we seek peace with strong sanctions. Dont focus on one President in a long line of misinformed, manipulated and ineffective legislators on the nuclear issue. expose the entire system!

3	The Era Of Cyborg Nanotechnology Has BegunUpdate on the merger of human and machine Technology seems to be on a runaway course either to free humanity or to enslave us. On one end we see massive continued investment in replacing humans with robots, both economically and socially. Parallel to this trend, we are seeing advancements in neuroscience being made from global projects like the BRAIN initiative in the U.S. and its counterpart in Europe, the Human Brain Project. These projects seek to decode the human brain and tailor it for treatments, as well as to enable the realization of full brain-computer-interface technology. The pace of these developments has increased toward the dizzying, such as a living transistor that uses DNA merged with graphene, the advent of quantum computing and nanocomputing, the creation of avatars, DNA nanobots, and a range of neuro applications that are beginning to transform our fundamental relationship with the real world. One respected scientific journal announced earlier this year that the era of cyborgs indeed has begun, as an array of medical applications are merging us with machines and computer systems. This is also happening in tandem with augmented reality applications that have entered the consumer space. The latest press release states emphatically that we are On the Frontiers of Cyborg Science. Once again, only the potential benefits are noted, but the funding for the research cited comes from the U.S. Department of Defense, the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Air Force. As you read the full chronicle of the developments to date, how do you believe this science will be used? With funding sources such as these, can you imagine some negative consequences? Your thoughts are welcome in the comment section below. No longer just fantastical fodder for sci-fi buffs, cyborg technology is bringing us tangible progress toward real-life electronic skin, prosthetics and ultraflexible circuits. Now taking this human-machine concept to an unprecedented level, pioneering scientists are working on the seamless marriage between electronics and brain signaling with the potential to transform our understanding of how the brain works and how to treat its most devastating diseases. Their presentation is taking place at the 248th National Meeting Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the worlds largest scientific society. The meeting features nearly 12,000 presentations on a wide range of science topics and is being held here through Thursday. By focusing on the nanoelectronic connections between cells, we can do things no one has done before, says Charles M. Lieber, Ph.D. Were really going into a new size regime for not only the device that records or stimulates cellular activity, but also for the whole circuit. We can make it really look and behave like smart, soft biological material, and integrate it with cells and cellular networks at the whole-tissue level. This could get around a lot of serious health problems in neurodegenerative diseases in the future. These disorders, such as Parkinsons, that involve malfunctioning nerve cells can lead to difficulty with the most mundane and essential movements that most of us take for granted: walking, talking, eating and swallowing. Scientists are working furiously to get to the bottom of neurological disorders. But they involve the bodys most complex organ the brain which is largely inaccessible to detailed, real-time scrutiny. This inability to see whats happening in the bodys command center hinders the development of effective treatments for diseases that stem from it. By using nanoelectronics, it could become possible for scientists to peer for the first time inside cells, see whats going wrong in real time and ideally set them on a functional path again. For the past several years, Lieber has been working to dramatically shrink cyborg science to a level thats thousands of times smaller and more flexible than other bioelectronic research efforts. His team has made ultrathin nanowires that can monitor and influence what goes on inside cells. Using these wires, they have built ultraflexible, 3-D mesh scaffolding with hundreds of addressable electronic units, and they have grown living tissue on it. They have also developed the tiniest electronic probe ever that can record even the fastest signaling between cells. Rapid-fire cell signaling controls all of the bodys movements, including breathing and swallowing, which are affected in some neurodegenerative diseases. And its at this level where the promise of Liebers most recent work enters the picture. In one of the labs latest directions, Liebers team is figuring out how to inject their tiny, ultraflexible electronics into the brain and allow them to become fully integrated with the existing biological web of neurons. Theyre currently in the early stages of the project and are working with rat models. Lieber acknowledges funding from the U.S. Department of Defense, the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Air Force. _________________________________________________________________________ Full cyborg transformation has been given a green light by the FDA, and now researchers have successfully transplanted the worlds first bionic eye. While the device does not offer any type of superhuman enhancement it in fact only offers rudimentary sight researchers are heralding this as a major step in a new direction. This announcement is certainly among the benign applications of this technology, but it is nonetheless an important reminder that we should consider if any limits need to be put on future applications like some of those discussed below. As professor and developer of this bionic system, Thiran Jayasundera, states: __________________________________________________________________________ The Google Glass concept is poised to transform into a much less invasive apparatus: Smart contact lenses. As Extreme Tech reports, it is beginning with a medical application, but has obvious crossover potential: The silver nanowire sensors promise a multitude of wearable applications: As they also noted, the amount of investment into this area indicates how close to full reality the tech sector believes this to be: Enter Google, which is already dealing with the privacy and legal issuesof Google Glass. As we have seen with their investments in robotics and Smart Home technology, they are adept at making science fiction a palatable next-gen essential item by validating formerly radical concepts. By combining the personal safety of health monitoring with the coolness of bionic zoom vision, can it really be resisted? Until now, much of the dystopian aspect of these developments has been relegated to the alternative media; while the corporate, military, and governmental interests behind much of this tech continue to promote only the promise of a Utopia that will be free of disease, impairment, and death. But in order for this to happen, we must fully merge with computational and machine systems. Now a leading mainstream scientific journal has announced that this is already happening, which indicates that the era of cyborgs has indeed begun. The German science journal Applied Chemistry might not sit on the coffee table of the average citizen, but it is one of the most highly regarded in the world among those in the field, and is now in its 125th year of existence. In their latest review, The Chemistry of Cyborgs Interfacing Technical Devices with Organisms researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) first point to some of the electronic health implants that we already take for granted as being a merger of man and machine, such as pacemakers and hearing or retina implants. However, it is the rise of smart materials that can instantly change based on body conditions and integrate into tissues that marks a future of computational analysis and restructuring of the human body. Most people embrace new developments that can assist with longevity and quality of life, and even the reversal of genetic conditions. But it is the human brain that poses the greatest ethical challenge; in this case, the brain-machine-interface (BMI). As the researchers also note, neuroprostheses are the foundation of a true cyborg, where robotic systems combine with a brain-machine-interface to control the external with thought alone. You can see some examples of this mind-controlled reality here. While, again, many would embrace the notion of effectively replacing lost limbs, or allowing the paralyzed to walk again, the deaf to hear, and the blind to see; this technology is becoming increasingly elective, as well as forming a merger with the gadgets of our modern-day existence. And its all being done with very little two-way dialogue science conducts the experiments, gets results, after which it is often dispersed for military use, then trickled down into consumer applications. Moreover, as highlighted in the quote above, the two-way information transfer is troubling beyond the stated helpful applications. This is exactly what led a DARPA project researcher to blow the whistle on an Arizona State University project involving Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and the efforts to reproduce it through narrative. This can be done from a distance and is anything but elective. Ethical concerns are unfortunately the last to arrive. It is for this reason that with very little fanfare we are becoming the cyborgs of science fiction. All thats left is to decide how far we wish to continue down this path; the fork in the road is already upon us. Recently from Nicholas West: Updated 8/10/2014 DARPA and the DOD are not here to improve anything, this is all about controlling you. The transhumanist agenda is designed to sell you on the idea of accepting a brain chip, its ready to go, now all they need is your consent. Once you agree, you will no longer have the ability to perceive of yourself as a unique individual and your thoughts will not be your own.

Hmmm Great article, please, join our movement to introduce legislation in UK called The Bodily Integrity Act http://www.antichips.com encourage the parliamentary debate and enshrine it in law in order to protect the vulnerable adults and children from being micro-chipped forcibly. Children should not be chipped even if their parents are in favour because minors cannot make a choice. Alzheimers patients should not be micro-chipped because they are not corpus mentis any more. If its their decision at a very early stage they can write a living will and choose the memory implant later or immediately. Micro-chipping is a ploy to control humans and turn them into mind slaves. They would not know what date it is unless the software provider downloads todays date into their system This is worse than the old fashioned slavery. At least, they had a chance to think for themselves and be indignant about it. 
2	Bikers To Form Wall Of Meat To Protect Trump Against Rioters... [VIDEO] With just days until Donald Trump becomes our nations President-elect, liberals are scrambling in a last-ditch effort to destroy his inauguration. Well, Bikers for Trump has just issued a message to those getting ready to disrespect our nations leaders: Bring it on. Christ Cox, founder of Bikers for Trump, said the 200,000-member group intends to form a wall of meat to protect citizens attending the ceremony. Cox and other motorcyclists will be in Washington to provide backup for law enforcement and make sure protesters and rioters dont ruin Trumps big day. We will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our brothers, and toe-to-toe with anyone thats going to be breaking down police barriers, assaulting women, spitting on them or throwing things, Cox told Fox News. Cox says he trusts the police to ensure order, but his group is ready to back them up if needed. He reminded reporters they are not a vigilante organization, but they are a political force. We formed for the sole purpose of electing Donald Trump president, Cox noted. Watch the full segment below and tell us what you think. 
1	Despite having high expectations heading into the 2010-2011 season, the Miami Heat suffered the worst regular season record of all-time Wednesday, limping to a painfully humiliating 58-24 and finishing an embarrassing second place in the Eastern Conference. 'The Three Kings experiment is officially a disaster,' said TNT basketball analyst Charles Barkley, who later called the Heat 'pathetic' because the team only won a league-best 28 times on the road. 'Two dozen losses and guaranteed home court advantage for two rounds of the NBA playoffs? Wow. This team owes an apology not just to its fans, but to the entire league.' Sources confirmed this may have been the single worst performance by any team since the 1995-1996 Chicago Bulls lost a regular-season road game to the Denver Nuggets. 
3	Undetected Asteroid Explodes Over The AtlanticChris Carrington The rock, the size of a car is estimated to have had an impact energy of around 750 tons of TNT. Small in cosmic terms but enough to have caused massive problems if it had hit a population center. It has been named 2014AA, a number letter combination that indicates it was the first asteroid discovered this year, sadly it was discovered somewhat latelike after it exploded. This incident serves to remind us all that the mission to map all space debris, junk and rocks that are likely to pose a threat to the planet is far from complete. In other space news sunspot AR1944 is now twice the size of Earth and contains a dozen dark cores with the magnetic energy to throw off powerful flares. The spot is so big it can be seen at sunset with the naked eye. NOAA has increased their estimate of M-class flares to 75% and X-class to 30% over the next 24 hours. Solar wind from the large Earth-facing coronal hole is giving rise to spectacular aurorae, such as this photographed by Chad Blakley in Sweden. 
3	Syrian group with close ties to FSA terrorists openly arms rebels with help of U.S.Madison Ruppert, Contributor The SSG was just established this April as a non-profit and thanks to a special license from the Treasury Department, they can now openly provide the Syrian opposition with funding to purchase heavy weaponry which, according to The New York Times, includes antiaircraft and antitank missiles. The individuals involved in this organization are far from detached from the Obama administration, which is hardly surprising. Writing for the Times, Steven Lee Myers reports that the SSG members regularly consult with State Department officials, including the American ambassador to Syria, Robert S. Ford, who has been based in Washington since the embassy in Damascus closed in February. This specific connection with Ambassador Ford is also far from surprising considering the fact that he has been involved with openly supporting the Syrian opposition, even meeting with rebel leaders in Syria before he was essentially forced to flee back to the United States. Hilariously, The New York Times attempts to paint a picture of the Obama administration taking a back seat in the crusade against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. They go as far as to claim, it is tacitly encouraging others to do so [intervene militarily or provide weapons to Syrian rebels], including nations like Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar and, now with the license, a network of Syrian migrs in the United States and Canada. The claim that it is only tacit support is also contradicted by the reports published by the same exact news agency about the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) working to help funnel weapons to the rebels. Interestingly, in the article the members of the SSG interviewed seemed very clear on the fact that they are more than happy to go the military route and, of course, slaughter Syrians in the process (although they avoid addressing that aspect of their campaign). If you keep giving people videos and cameras and satellite equipment so they can document how they are getting killed, it wont stop the killing, said Louay Sakka, one of SSGs eight board members, speaking about the aid publicly provided by the U.S. Hinting at the fact that his group and the other rebels (which al Qaeda has unsurprisingly openly expressed support for) seeks to do nothing short of attack Assad loyalists in the name of their cause, Sakka said, its only the language of force they understand. This provides a natural transition to his statement insisting that there is no political or diplomatic solution possible, thus leaving only the options of Libya-style military intervention or the slightly less overt arming and support of the rebels. For a long time weve been telling them there is no political solution, said Sakka, referring to officials who have been hoping for a peaceful end to the situation. Therefore it is no surprise to see renewed calls for a no-fly zone from the Syrian opposition which has been calling for similar actions since last year with reports of plans for a no-fly zone being drawn up by the Arab League and Turkey with U.S. support. Sakka said that the SSG hopes to raise a whopping $7 million for the FSA terrorists, which one anonymous official hilariously attempted to claim was for undetermined purposes when it is far from uncertain that it will be used for weaponry. Its not for us to determine what the donations are used for, one anonymous official said to The New York Times. It could be for medical supplies, the anonymous official nonsensically said in an effort to describe what The New York Times called, a plausible deniability that might not be plausible to all. Personally, I would have replaced to all with to anyone who has the ability to read and retain information longer than five minutes. In the clearly pro-SSG article, the terrorist support group is painted as an entity bringing together a diaspora of migrs with close family, social and cultural ties inside Syria. For those who arent familiar with these types of groups almost identical to those which suddenly appeared in the effort to bring about regime change in Libya, which almost immediately brought about a situation even worse than before they are usually made up of individuals who havent even been back to the country for many years. One of the board members they interviewed is Dr. Naser Danan, a man who described himself as a pediatrician who has never been involved in a revolution before. Like so many other individuals calling themselves Syrian holding anti-Assad views in the West, Dr. Danan left Syria a whopping 26 years ago. In an effort to make the image of the SSG appealing, The New York Times writes, Like the protesters in Syria, they began by advocating peaceful political change, but as the Syrian government cracked down ever more forcefully, they, too, became more militant, making contacts with the rebel military commands that took shape in Syrias major cities. Yet just a few paragraphs later they reveal the darker truths about this group in writing, The group became more organized last spring when it formally incorporated, started its Web site and, in May, hired a former NATO political officer, Brian Sayers, as its director of government relations in Washington after finding him through an online employment agency. Thats right; they just happened to pick up a former NATO political officer as director of government relations and somehow managed to get a license on July 23 from the Treasury Departments Office of Foreign Assets Control to raise money for the terrorist FSA after less than three months. While the SSG cant outright ship weapons to the FSA, they can instead simply give the money to the rebels to have them purchase the weapons, likely through connections provided by the admitted extensive Western intelligence network in place in the region. The SSG isnt even registered as a lobbyist yet they have already become a clearinghouse for American lawmakers and administration officials trying to learn more about the loose network of rebels that has gradually coalesced into the Free Syrian Army, according to The New York Times. The SSG supposedly created a proclamation of principles signed by rebel commanders which calls for a free, democratic Syria that would protect the rights of Syrias myriad ethnic and sectarian groups, create rule of law, and seek peace with its neighbors. In reality, the Syrian rebels are responsible for a disturbing amount of sectarian violence which quite unfortunately just appears to be on the rise. The group has not revealed their fund-raising efforts as of yet and the only entity they have to report to is the State Department, which is clearly backing the effort wholeheartedly. If the Internal Revenue Service approves the groups status as a charity, donations to help Syrias rebels could soon be tax-deductible, notes The New York Times. Without force, tyranny will persist, Danan said, indicating their deep commitment to bloodshed and violence. We will advocate with whatever means we can to mobilize the United States and other world powers to support the Syrian people, and not just with mere rhetoric. One must wonder if the SSG would agree with the Syrian rebels who seek to hold on to the chemical weapons in Syria. I would hardly be surprised since it is painfully clear that they not only seek to destabilize Syria, likely creating a horrific situation like that in Libya, but also that they intend to engage in violence and nothing but violence in that quest.

1	Saying this was an important first step in helping their community heal, local authorities in Washington, D.C. confirmed this morning that they had demolished the Capitol Building in which the horrific 113th congressional session took place. According to officials, the decision to raze the 1.5 million-square-foot structure was aimed in particular at bringing closure to those whose lives were forever changed by the unspeakable acts committed there between January 2013 and January 2015. By tearing down these walls that bore witness to what can only be described as a brazen assault on basic human values, we begin the long, difficult process of recovering from this grave tragedy, said D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser, noting that over the past two years the Capitol Building had become a potent symbol of cruelty, immorality, and the darker side of human nature. Perhaps with this demolition we can restore some measure of peace to our lives. We cannot erase what happened there, of course, and things will never be the same after what those monsters did, Bowser added. But its time for us to move on and put this horror behind us. Bowser, who went on to state that the atrocities perpetrated on the site were an insult to all we hold dear and an attack on our very way of life, claimed that the sooner the building was destroyed, the sooner everyone could move past the ghastly deeds carried out by the 113th meeting of Congress and return to some semblance of normalcy. Though a city planning commission reportedly considered repurposing the building for new occupants, sources noted that the panel quickly reached the conclusion that no one would want to live or work in a place where, only a few months earlier, so much suffering had been inflicted upon innocent people. How do you even begin talking to your kids about something like that? Theyre too young to hear what went on in that dreadful place. Whenever I walked by that terrible place, I couldnt help but think about the horrendous things that had been done inside, said Washington resident Arthur Zhang, 57, who added that he hoped his town would one day be known as more than the place where the legendarily gruesome congressional session occurred. It was bad enough seeing it all over the papers. I dont need a reminder of that dark time every day on my way to work. Thinking about what happened in the Capitol still turns my stomach, but this is a start, Zhang continued. In an effort to eliminate any painful reminders of what is widely regarded as one of the most grotesque and depraved legislative periods in American history, all articles and objects found within the Capitol Building have reportedly been removed from the premises and incinerated. Local officials explained that the destruction of every item that was associated with the buildings remorseless occupants, including thousands of documents and personal belongings, is essential to helping the community be able to mentally move beyond the heinous, inhuman actions perpetrated by Congress. Based on interviews with Washington residents, there remains a considerable amount of outrage directed at the 113th meeting of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, with many locals telling reporters they couldnt believe those two legislative bodies just sat there for months on end with no one ever doing anything about it. Others spoke of feeling guilt for standing idly by while appalling acts took place under their noses, and said the experience had forced them to ask tough questions about themselves. When we found out the details of everything that happened there, it was absolutely horrible, said 32-year-old mother of three Angie Pitre, observing that life in the neighborhood of Capitol Hill, where she makes her home, hasnt been the same since Jan. 3, 2013. How do you even begin talking to your kids about something like that? Theyre too young to hear what went on in that dreadful place. I just thank God they tore that building down and no one will ever have to look at it again. That awful old White House is still there, though, Pitre added. That place really gives me the creeps. 
3	Report: Was Navy Yard Shooter Gangstalked with Mind Control Microwave Weapons?A newly uncovered document raises some startling questions about suspected shooter Aaron Alexis in the wake of the Washington D.C. Navy Yard shooting that left 13 people dead this week. Alternative news outlet selfnews Post published the following document on Facebook last night which has also been corroborated by The New York Times. Its a report narrative filed by a Rhode Island police officer who responded to a call made by Alexis on Aug. 7. Alexis claimed that people were harassing him using microwave weapons: Alexis reportedly told the officer that three people were sent to follow him and keep him awake by talking to him and sending vibrations into his body. Alexis attempted to change hotel rooms to another at a Navy base where he heard the same voices talking to him through the walls, floor and ceiling. Alexis also noted these people were using some sort of microwave machine to send vibrations through the ceiling, penetrating his body so he cannot fall asleep. The office wrote, [Alexis] stated that he has never felt anything like this and is worried that these individuals are going to harm him. Alexis also told the officer that he did not have a history of mental illness, nor had he had any sort of mental episodes before. The mainstream media can try to spin this however it wants, but anyone who has done even a scant bit of research will recognize that those claims do not merely sound like the random thoughts of one mentally unhinged person. Directed energy weapons are not science fiction; there are a multitude of patents (see here, here,here and here) for exactly the kind of mind weapon Alexis is describing. Our government has been refining these technologies, based on Nikola Teslas research, for a long time now. For more on that, check out this unclassified document from the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command received via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request back in 2006 entitled, Bioeffects of Selected Nonlethal Weapons. While the FOIA request is dated 2006, the paper itself says February 1998, over 15 years ago. One of the main topics regards the effects of radiofrequency directed energy. The document discusses the incapacitating effect of microwave hearing: There is no sound propagated through the air like normal sound. This technology in its crudest form could be used to distract individuals; if refined, it could also be used to communicate with hostages or hostage takers directly by Morse code or other message systems, possibly even by voice communication. [emphasis added] This technology is also tunable to a single person: The phenomenon is tunable in that the characteristic sounds and intensities of those sounds depend on the characteristics of the RF energy as delivered. Because the frequency of the sound heard is dependent on the pulse characteristics of the RF energy, it seems possible that this technology could be developed to the point where words could be transmitted to be heard like the spoken word, except that it could only be heard within a persons head. In one experiment, communication of the words from one to ten using speech modulated microwave energy was successfully demonstrated. Microphones next to the person experiencing the voice could not pick up the sound. Additional development of this would open up a wide range of possibilities. [emphasis added] The paper goes on to discuss using this technology to disrupt of neural control, which activates specific forms of behavior such as sexual, aggressive, ingestive activities. Despite his statement to police in August, Alexis reportedly had a history of dissociative fugue states where he would blackout and come to without any memory of what he did during that time. Microwave weapons were also referenced multiple times in a 2001 NASA PowerPoint presentation Future of War 2025 given by one of their chief Langley Research Center scientists. For further reading on how microwave weapons work, click here. This kind of direct voice communication was demonstrated on former Governor Jesse Ventura during an episode of his show Conspiracy Theory. While its a TV show and in many ways meant for entertainment value, this particular segment of the show on the military-industrial complexs High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (H.A.A.R.P.) proves very interesting in light of what Alexis claimed in the police report above: Ventura speaks with Dr. Nick Begich who has been researching H.A.A.R.P., another directed energy weapon capable of beaming multi-billion-watt radio frequency signals directly into the ionosphere, for many years. While the entire segment is vastly informative, for the point relevant to Alexis claim, skip ahead to about 4:21. Dr. Begich demonstrates a crude device fashioned after H.A.A.R.P. on Jesse, making the former Governor hear music inside his head. For skeptics out there who think our government would never wield such weapons, consider the Pentagon psychotronic technology known as Silent Sound Spread Spectrum (SSSS) or S-quad. U.S. Psychological Operations officers tested this technology on Iraqi troops in Kuwait during Operation Desert Storm. A 1991 news brief detailed how the American troops would take over the Iraqis FM stations and broadcast a silent signal underneath the audible programming: The clandestine station programming consisted of patriotic and religious music and intentionally vague, confusing and contradictory military orders and information to the Iraqi soldiers in the Kuwaiti Theater of Command (KTO). The size and power of enemy forces was always intentionally exaggerated. Surrender was encouraged. According to statements made by captured and deserting Iraqi soldiers, however, the most devastating and demoralizing programming was the first known military use of the new, high tech, type of subliminal messages referred to as Ultra-High-Frequency Silent Sounds or Silent Subliminals. (Newsweek, July 30, 1990, Page 61) Although completely silent to the human ear, the negative voice messages placed on the tapes alongside the audible programming by psyops psychologists were clearly perceived by the subconscious minds of the Iraqi soldiers and the silent messages completely demoralized and instilled a perpetual feeling of fear and hopelessness in their minds. [emphasis added] Now consider the fact that there are multiple support groups out there dedicated to what is commonly referred to as gangstalking, a phenomenon where a person is electronically harassed seemingly for the purposes of driving them insane or making them seem crazy to everyone around them (as no one else can hear the technology, only the targeted individual, or TI). This kind of torture and abuse is tantamount to terrorism waged against a single person. Support groups typically warn not to discuss the actual targeting with law enforcement or medical staff because the person will risk being labeled as mentally imbalanced and hauled away to a psychiatric unit. Indeed, the last line of the police report above which has been mostly blacked out appears to say, showing signs of some sort of mental deficiency. Stories of the kind Alexis described in last months police report are shockingly not the least bit uncommon. KENS5 news compiled a whole report on TI victims suffering related phenomenon out of San Antonio, Texas a few years ago. The U.S. government has already participated in wide scale mind control research targeting the American people; the MK Ultra (German for Mind Kontrolle) program was declassified through the U.S. Congress Church Committee in 1975 that led to the release of some 20,000 documents detailing the horrific goals of the CIA. According to a 1955 MK Ultra research outline document, methods included studying substances which will promote illogical thinking and impulsiveness to the point where the recipient would be discredited in public; Materials and physical methods which will produce amnesia for events preceding and during their use; and enhancing the ability of individuals to withstand privation, torture and coercion during interrogation and so-called brain-washing. The full list, which is much longer, is even worse. Our government performed these experiments on thousands of Americans for decades on record. If the government could do that, the sky is the limit. Microwave weapons seem mundane by comparison. There are a lot of unknowns surrounding Aaron Alexis and the Navy Yard shooting, but this new evidence proves the case is anything but closed.

2	Beloved Country Music Singer Found Dead... You Will Be Shattered According to recent reports, 49-year-old country singer Daron Norwood was found dead in his apartment in Hereford, Texas. Police and medical personnel responded to a call at the apartment and found the singer deceased in his bedroom. Norwood is best known for his 1990s hits If It Wasnt for Her, I Wouldnt Have You and Cowboys Dont Cry. Both hits made the Top 30 on country music charts. Unfortunately, Norwoods career was cut short when he quit the business in 1995 due to a drug and alcohol addiction. Two years later he founded an anti-drug, alcohol and violence program called Keep It Straight. I didnt quit on life, Norwood once told Country Weekly. But I quit the bus, I quit the band, I quit the record deal, quit the shows, the alcohol, the drugs. I quit it all with a phone call to my then-manager saying, Im done. And I do mean donewith it all. Authorities have reported that they do no suspect foul play. What do you think? Do your prayers go out to Norwoods family in this difficult time? 
3	WA farmers block federal drones and Agenda 21Mikael Thalen, Contributor Started in 1920, The WSFB is a voluntary, grassroots advocacy organization representing the social and economic interests of local farm and ranch families. Every year the WSFBs volunteer leaders from across the state get together to discuss issues and adopt new policy. The WSFB is unique in that its members, delegates from each of the 25 county Farm Bureaus, adopt the policies, ranging from land use to fiscal issues. This years convention was especially exciting due to the passage of new policy, set to put a barrier against the overreach of the federal government and even foreign ones. This year we indeed adopted a policy opposing all aspects of UN Agenda 21 as well as a policy opposing the use of drones (unmanned aerial vehicles) to spy on farms without express permission from the landowner, said John Stuhlmiller, Director of Government Relations. As an Okanogan County Farm Bureau member, I am personally very excited about the new policies that were passed. The issues facing Okanogan County today can all be tied back to Agenda 21 at some level whether it be land acquisitions, wolves, or salmon recovery, said Pamela Leslie. She also noted that, Drones are of great concern as well. Drones are being used around the country to spy on farmers and ranchers, as well as average citizens. By adopting these new policies, the Washington State Farm Bureau has sent a strong message that will aid Okanogan County in our grassroots movement to fight this kind of tyranny. Farmers nationwide were upset when it was learned that the EPA was spying on Cattle Ranchers in Iowa and Nebraska. Seattle residents were also up in arms after the Seattle Police Department received a drone. Alabama made news when they adopted a law protecting due process and private property by prohibiting any government involvement with or participation in Agenda 21. Washington farmers now join the ranks of citizens nationwide moving to protect their constitutional rights. The text of the policy changes are as follows: New Policy Agenda 21 (add to Section VIII Forestry and Public Lands) We oppose the United Nations Agenda 21 and the ratification or implementation of any or all of its components. The UAV policy is: 180 Right of Entry for Government Agents The Constitution requires government agents to obtain a search warrant before entering private property. The Constitution further requires that the search warrant contain a specific description of the property to be searched. The Constitution applies to any government agent who enters farms or ranches in order to conduct an inspection. We believe government agents must ask permission of the owner or the owners authorized representative prior to entering a farm or ranch for purposes of conducting an inspection. If permission is denied, the agent should obtain a search warrant that specifies the reason for the inspection. The agent should inform the owner/agent that they have the legal right to ask that a search warrant be obtained prior to an inspection. Agents should not retaliate against citizens who exercise this Constitutional right. We believe government agents may enter property without the owners permission only if an emergency exists that constitutes an immediate threat to human life. We oppose the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to conduct aerial inspections of farms and ranches unless explicit permission has been granted by the landowner.

1	Liver spots topped the agenda this weekend at a summit held by the four living former U.S. presidents. Meeting at Gerald Ford's Southern California ranch, the presidents discussed numerous liver-spot-related issues. Jimmy Carter reported having them on his arms. 'I have them all over my face,' Gerald Ford said. 'I also have them on my chest.' Secret Service agents were dispatched several times in Air Force Two to procure special, security-cleared vials of Pond's Medicated Cream for the talks. Also on the summit agenda: wheezing, moving from a seated to standing position, and arm fat. Secret Service costs for protecting the four living ex-presidents amounted to $27 billion for the three-day summit. 
1	Painting a stark portrait of a phenomenon that appears to be irreversible, a report published Thursday by the American Historical Association has found that the past is currently expanding at an alarming rate. The comprehensive 950-page study, compiled by a panel of the nations most prominent historians, warns that the sum total of past time grows progressively larger each day, making it unlikely anything can be done to halt, or even slow down, the relentless trend. We believe the past is larger now than its ever been before, said College of William and Mary professor Timothy Gibbon, lead author of the report, observing that whole generations of people have already become a part of history, and that if nothing changes, an untold number more can expect the same fate. Many things that are in the past today were, during our parents and grandparents time, still in the presentor even the future. Based on precise measurements of its size, we believe the past has subsumed every single person and event that has ever existed. Its shocking to contemplate, but in the relatively short stretch since 1984, when I first began tracking its growth, the past has expanded by more than 30 years, he added. Presidential administrations, extinct species, ancient empiresall have been claimed by a relentless past. There was some speculation that World War II would end history, but it didnt. The report predicted this disturbing pattern will only continue, with one occurrence after another becoming part of a colossal historical record that, by all indications, appears intent on seizing absolutely everything without any discrimination. To date, nothing, no matter how significant, has been able to escape the past, which historians say has taken hold of episodes as momentous as the invention of the printing press, the execution of Louis XVI, numerous ice ages, the westward expansion of the United States, and the year 1995, among billions of others. This massive, unrestricted accrual of time is quickly becoming unmanageableits growing bigger and bigger even now as I speak, said Gibbon, who confirmed the past grew by more than six months in the time it took to research and write the new report. Presidential administrations, extinct species, ancient empiresall have been claimed by a relentless past. There was some speculation that World War II would end history, but it didnt. Neither did the moon landing, the signing of the Magna Carta, the formation of Pangaea, the extinction of the dinosaurs, the fall of the Ming dynasty, the breaking apart of Pangaea, or the discovery of the Higgs boson, he continued. Indeed, these events have only served to make the past even larger. The report went on to state that concerns over the expanding past were outweighed only by fears about the future, which is assumed to become vanishingly small with each passing moment. 
1	In a brief statement faxed to major media outlets at approximately 11:50 p.m. Friday, the White House retracted the entire 5,600-word State of the Union address delivered by President Bush last Tuesday. 'This includes all components of the address, and is not limited to the president's congratulations to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi or his plan to give more Americans affordable health care through tax cuts, which has since been deemed infeasible,' the statement read in part. 'Furthermore, the president's urge for bipartisanship as well as his final statement about the state of the union being 'strong' are hereby stricken from the public record.' Like the State of the Union address itself, the White House's retraction has not yet become a significant national news story. 
2	Carson Is Furious After Trump Mentions THIS About His Mother On LIVE TV Ben Carson is being attacked from all sides. First, the media has been drilling him all week, much of which on what has turned out to be false information. Trump has been relentless in his attacks against Carson, and yesterday morning on ABC was no different. Trump brought up on live TV an incident of Carsons physical abuse to his own mother. He describes Carsons actions as very troubling. I dont know what hes doing, I can say that I never tried to hit my mother in any ways, shape or form. The Daily Caller This accusation is from when Carson was much younger. We are still waiting on Carsons response, but you can bet it wont be a nice one. Who would be a better president, Trump or Carson? 
2	Liberals Everywhere Are Attacking Jerry Seinfeld After He Made THIS Huge Stand Against Obama [VIDEO] According to recent reports, Jerry Seinfeld has taken a stand against Bill Maher. On a recent episode of is show, Maher made claims that one of the main problems in our country is polarization. As he has been known to do, he went on to blame Fox News for the division, claiming that the network creates a language barrier among Americans. Jerry Seinfeld, who was guest on the show, disagreed with Maher claiming that each side just talks to its side. Fox doesnt have a monopoly on taking sides, Governor Haley Barbour agreed with the comedian. Maher went on to criticize conservatives for wanting to hear the same things over and over. Of course, he went on to portray liberals as being open-minded. This is an argument weve heard before, but its fundamentally flawed. Watch the segment below and tell us what you think. 
3	Are You Better Off? 40 Statistics That Will Absolutely Shock YouMichael Snyder, Contributor One recent poll found that only 20 percent of Americans believe that they are better off financially than they were four years ago. But the same thing was true four years ago as well. Our economy has been in decline and the middle class has been shrinking for a very long time. The Democrats want to put all of the blame on the Republicans for this, and the Republicans want to put all of the blame on the Democrats for this. A recent CNN headline defiantly declared the following: Decline of middle class not Obamas fault, and this is the kind of thing we are going to hear day after day until the election in November. But obviously something has gone fundamentally wrong with our economy. So who should we blame? Sadly, you hear very little on the mainstream news networks or the talk radio shows about the institution that has the most power over our economy. The Federal Reserve has far more power over our financial system than anyone else does, but the media and both political parties tell us that the Federal Reserve is above politics and that their independence must never be questioned. But the truth is that the debt-based financial system that the Federal Reserve is at the core of is absolutely central to our economic problems. If you do not understand this, please see this article: 10 Things That Every American Should Know About The Federal Reserve. So shouldnt they be held accountable? That is a very good question. Have you ever wondered why financial markets move so dramatically whenever Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke gives a speech? The same thing does not happen when Barack Obama gives a speech. That is because the financial markets know who holds the real power in our financial system. But during this election season the American people are told to put all of their attention on the red team and the blue team. We are told that the two major political parties are philosophical opposites and that they want to take the United States is two completely different directions. The true believers on the blue team are completely and totally convinced that Barack Obama will be able to rescue the economy and save America. The true believers on the red team are completely and totally convinced that Mitt Romney will be able to rescue the economy and save America. Once upon a time I was one of those political activists. I was fully convinced that America could be turned around if we could just get enough Republicans into office. But then I noticed that nothing really seemed to change no matter who was in power. I became disillusioned as I realized that Republicans were doing things pretty much the exact same way that Democrats were doing them when they got into power. Yes, there are some minor differences between the two parties on taxes and regulations.If we elect one guy over the other our economy might decline at a slightly different pace.But in the end both political parties are taking us to the exact same place.Down the toilet. I wish that wasnt true.But we need to be honest with ourselves. Of course this list could go on indefinitely, but hopefully you get the point. But I can understand those that are deeply frustrated with Barack Obama and that desperately want to avoid another four years of his policies. I also believe that Barack Obama has been the worst president in U.S. history and that he and his entire cabinet should immediately resign in disgrace. However, the Republican party foolishly chose to nominate the Republican candidate that was most like Barack Obama to run against him. That was an enormous mistake. No matter what the talk radio shows are telling you, the truth is that this country will continue on pretty much the same path no matter who wins the election. I know that statement is going to make a lot of people angry. But it is the sad reality of what we are facing. Even if you focus on just the economy, the truth is that Mitt Romneys five point plan is almost exactly the same thing that Barack Obama has been saying. Many Americans believe that since Mitt Romney made lots of money on Wall Street conducting leveraged buyouts of vulnerable corporations that he understands how to fix our economy. Sadly, that is not the truth. I have listened to many Romney speeches about the economy and I keep waiting for some pearls of wisdom, but I have found that he is just as clueless about the economy as our other recent presidents have been. Look, I know that there are a lot of people out there that have good hearts that want to have someone that they can believe in.They want to believe that things can get better.They want to have hope.And I dont blame them for that. I just think that it is time to pull our heads out of the sand and realize that things are not going to be getting any better. A political savior on a white horse is not going to come riding in to save the day. So by this point in the article a whole lot of Democrats and a whole lot of Republicans are very upset with me.But I am not against you. There is way too much hate in our society today. Even if we disagree with someone else we can still love them. I just think that it is very important that we understand that there is not going to be a solution to our problems on the national level and that our economy is headed for collapse no matter who gets elected. The total amount of debt in the United States has risen from less than 2 trillion dollars to nearly 55 trillion dollars over the past 40 years, and there is nothing that Barack Obama or Mitt Romney can do to prevent the correction that is coming. So are Americans better off than they were four years ago? Of course not. But things will soon get a whole lot worse no matter how the election turns out. The following are 40 statistics that will absolutely shock you. #1 During the time Barack Obama has been in the White House, median household income has fallen by 7.3 percent. #2 Back in 2007, 19.2 percent of all American families had a net worth of zero or less than zero. By 2010, that figure had soared to 32.5 percent. #3 According to the Federal Reserve, the median net worth of American families dropped from $126,400 in 2007 to $77,300 in 2010. #4 According to the Pew Research Center, 61 percent of all Americans were middle income back in 1971. Today, only 51 percent of all Americans are middle income. #5 Back in 1970, middle income Americans brought home 62 percent of all income in the United States. In 2010, middle income Americans only brought home 45 percent of all income. #6 The unemployment rate in the United States has been above 8 percent for 42 straight months. #7 The percentage of working age Americans with a job has been below 59 percent for 35 months in a row. #8 In June, the number of Americans added to the food stamp rolls was nearly three times larger than the number of jobs added to the U.S. economy. #9 Approximately 53 percent of all U.S. college graduates under the age of 25 were either unemployed or underemployed last year. #10 Since Barack Obama entered the White House, the number of long-term unemployed Americans has risen from 2.7 million to 5.2 million. #11 Today, the average duration of unemployment in the United States is about three times as long as it was back in the year 2000. #12 According to a report that has just been released by the National Employment Law Project, 58 percent of the jobs that have been created since the end of the recession have been low paying jobs. #13 According to the Center for Economic and Policy Research, only 24.6 percent of all of the jobs in the United States are good jobs. #14 In 2010, the number of jobs created at new businesses in the United States was less than half of what it was back in the year 2000. #15 The average pay for self-employed Americans fell by $3,721 between 2006 and 2010. #16 According to U.S. Representative Betty Sutton, America has lost an average of 15 manufacturing facilities a day over the last 10 years. During 2010 it got even worse. That year, an average of 23 manufacturing facilities a day shut down in the United States. #17 At this point, one out of every four American workers has a job that pays $10 an hour or less. #18 While Barack Obama has been president the velocity of money has plunged to a post-World War II low. #20 Electricity bills in the United States have risen faster than the overall rate of inflation for five years in a row. #21 There are now 20.2 million Americans that spend more than half of their incomes on housing. That represents a 46 percent increase from 2001. #22 Over the past decade, health insurance premiums have risen three times faster than wages have in the United States. #23 Health insurance costs have risen by 23 percent since Barack Obama became president. #24 As I wrote about yesterday, back in 1980 less than 10 percent of U.S. GDP was spent on health care but now about 18 percent of U.S. GDP goes toward health care. #25 In a previous article, I noted that 62 percent of all middle class Americans say that they have had to reduce household spending over the past year. #26 Family budgets in America are being stretched to the breaking point. Today, 77 percent of all Americans live paycheck to paycheck at least part of the time. #27 While Barack Obama has been president, U.S. home values have fallen by another 11 percent. #28 More than three times as many new homes were sold in the United States in 2005 as will be sold in 2012. #29 The United States was once ranked #1 in the world in GDP per capita. Today we have slipped to #11. #30 Since Barack Obama became president, the number of Americans living in poverty has risen by 6.4 million. #31 The number of Americans on food stamps has grown from about 17 million in the year 2000 to 31.9 million when Barack Obama entered the White House to 46.7 million today. #32 Approximately one-fourth of all U.S. children are enrolled in the food stamp program at this point. #33 It is being projected that half of all American children will be on food stamps at least once before they turn 18 years of age. #34 It is estimated that child homelessness in the United States has risen by 33 percent since 2007. #35 Back in 1965, only one out of every 50 Americans was on Medicaid. Today, approximately one out of every 6 Americans is on Medicaid. #36 As I wrote about the other day, it is being projected that Obamacare will add 16 million more Americans to the Medicaid rolls. #37 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. #38 The number of Americans receiving federal housing assistance increased by a whopping 42 percent between 2006 and 2010. #39 At this point, well over 100 million Americans are enrolled in at least one welfare program run by the federal government. #40 Amazingly, more than half of all Americans are now at least partially financially dependent on the government.

2	US Marine And Navy Veteran DESTROY Muslim Father Who Attacked Trump Donald Trump has been a source of controversy ever since he first stepped on the campaign trail. That controversy escalated this week when Trump told a Virginia television station that he had no regrets about his clash with Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the parents of an Army captain killed in Iraq. The feud began when Mr. Khan criticized Trump at the Democratic Convention, a move that Trump says is extraordinarily unfair. The nominees five-day confrontation with a military family hasnt exactly gone over well. Dear Mr. Khan, As a veteran, I watched your comments at the Democratic National Convention with a mixture of sadness, and anger. The United States has a military comprised of volunteers. Every single member has made the conscious choice to join the military and serve. There is not a single service member who has been forced into service. It is important for all service members (and apparently, their families) to understand that service to this great nation does not imbue one with special privileges or rights. I found your comments troubling when you said: Have you ever been to Arlington cemetery? Go look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending the United States of America. You will see all faiths, genders and ethnicities. You have sacrificed nothing and no one. Does it matter whether Mr. Trump has sacrificed nothing and no one?has Ms. Clinton ..sacrificed for this nation? How about Mr. Obama? Your comment stating that Mr. Trump has sacrifice no one is alarming. Are you intimating that YOU sacrificed? Sir, your son willingly sacrificed himself. As a father I cannot imagine the pain you must feel but his sacrifice is his own. He was not forced to serve. I am troubled that you would allow a party that has little more than contempt for the US Service Member to parade you into the DNC to denounce Donald Trump. Did you watch when protesters at the DNC booed and heckled Medal of Honor recipient Capt. Florent Groberg? Did you notice your party interrupting the moment of silence for slain police officers? Your own hypocrisy in not denouncing these acts and instead using the DNC as a platform to make a political point is disgraceful. The simple fact is that whether one served or sacrificed does not give greater power to their statements. One vote is as valuable as another. That sir, is why our Country is great. Your condemnation of one person for a statement while standing idly as your party disparages veterans and police officers is the height of hypocrisy. To conflate the need to prevent potential terrorists from entering our country with the belief that all Muslims should be banned is simply wrong and disingenuous. As a reminder, Mr. Trump said: 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, The irony of your sons own death at the hands of these very people in Iraq should not be ignored. I have little doubt that your son would have recognized the need to protect our country from these very people. In fact, he held is own troops back so that he could check on a suspicious car. Your son understood sacrifice and how to protect his peoplehis soldiers.his fellow Americans As you continue to make the media circuit and bask in the glow of affection cast upon you by a party that has little regard for your sons own sacrifice, and veterans in general, I would ask you to consider your comments and your position more closely. Respectfully, 
2	Michael Browns Family Just Threatened Darren Wilson In A Way That Shocks America Recently, the family of Michael Brown announced that they have intentions to bring a civil lawsuit against Police Officer Darren Wilson. The family believes that the grand jury decision was unfair and unjustified, and that their son Michael Brown is being unfairly painted by the media. The truth is, Michael Brown did have a criminal record. The day of the shooting, he committed a strong-arm robbery. He was stopped by police officer Darren Wilson. Still, Daryl Parks, attorney for the family of Brown recently told Fox News that Wilsons decision to call Brown demonic was a racial attack meant to cast Michael Brown in negative light. Parks also added that the grand jurys decision left open the possibility for a civil suit. Meanwhile, Neil Bruntager, the attorney for Wilson, assures the public that the Brown family will have a difficult row to hoe. What do you think? Does the Brown family have the grounds for a civil suit? 
3	NATOs Slow Genocide in Libya: Syria is NextWhat the world has to look forward to if NATO and the UN gets its way in Syria. While Qatari government propaganda outlet Al Jazeera is busy whitewashing the NATO-led terrorist take-over of Libya with documentaries like Gaddafi: The Endgame State of Denial, depicting the evisceration of one of Africas most developed nation-states as a pro-democracy revolution yielding a promising tomorrow Libya in reality has been plunged into perpetual violence, destabilization, and division. And as militants battle each other while carving the once unified Libya into a myriad of fiefdoms, genocidal death squads continue a campaign of extermination nationwide. Now though, with Syria next on the chopping block, many around the world are looking at the progress made in Libya to see if the UN and NATOs proposal for military intervention is justified, warranted, or feasible. What they see is a patchwork of terrorist regimes butchering people systematically, infighting, making duplicitous, self-serving deals with foreign firms and otherwise running the nation into the ground. Amnesty International, a full-year too late, has published a report titled, Libya: NTC must investigate death of another Tawargha man under torture, in regards to the latest case in the NTCs systematic genocide of the people of Tawargha a city now rendered a ghost town. HRW had published a report last week titled, Libya: Wake-Up Call to Misratas Leaders, also regarding the systematic genocide of the people of Tawargha. Ironically, both Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International are giving all inquiring minds a look behind the curtain as to how exactly they are distorting other conflicts including Syria today. From the Beginning, Libyan Rebels were Known War Criminals Long before the first NATO bombs dropped on Libya, genuine geopolitical analysts including Dr. Webster Tarpley of Tarpley.net, noted that the Libyan rebels were in fact notoriously brutal racists and led by militias belonging to a listed international terrorist organization responsible for violence not only in Libya, but in Afghanistan and Iraq. On March 1, 2011 Dr. Tarpley spoke on the Alex Jones show warning that Libyan rebels were lynching black Libyans, hailed from Al Qaeda, and that the overall agenda of destabilizing and possibly intervening militarily across the Arab World was to implement chaos, civil war, and the division of countries, along with the installation of weak puppet-regimes. Just days after NATO began its military operations against Libya in mid-March of 2011, Dr. Tarpley confirmed that the Libyan rebels were led by the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), claimed by West Points Combating Terrorism Center (CTC) to have been involved in fighting Western troops in both Afghanistan and Iraq before returning to Libya to then be armed, trained, and led by Western forces in the overthrowing of Muammar Qaddafi. During the initial phases of NATOs intervention, HRW and Amnesty International were complicit in covering these facts up and instead focused on lending legitimacy to the now confirmed lies of the NTC regarding human rights abuses perpetrated against them by the Libyan government. It wasnt until July of 2011 that HRW would admit that Libyan rebels were carrying out systematic abuses of their own, and even then they were whitewashed and excused. And while Human Rights Watch now admits that what the Libyan NTC is doing to the Tawargha people amounts to crimes against humanity, they could have just as easily drawn such conclusions backed with ample evidence before NATO intervened militarily and rendered moot the entire humanitarian responsibility to protect doctrine the entire war was disingenuously based on. In retrospect, we are meant to believe these organizations simply made a mistake and could not have possibly known the rebels would turn out to be worse human rights violators than those they sought to replace. HRW Amnesty Repeating Mistakes in Syria, No Mistake That HRW and Amnesty International appear to be making the exact same mistakes in Syria, even as they finally admit the crimes of the pro-democracy rebels in Libya a year later and tens of thousands of lives too late, is certainly no mistake. This is exactly the purpose both organizations are meant to serve along with a myriad of other faux-NGOs to lend legitimacy to both the Syrian terrorists and the governments of the West arming and directing them as they carry out what is essentially a campaign of foreign military conquest. The first admissions of Syrian rebels committing atrocities have likewise come a full-year after unrest was triggered in 2011. Human Rights Watch admitted in their report, Syria: Armed Opposition Groups Committing Abuses, that Syrian rebels are kidnapping, torturing, and executing people, many of whom have been confirmed to be civilians. Again, geopolitical analysts have stated since the unrest began in 2011 that Syrias opposition likewise represented not genuine pro-democratic forces, but rather proxies for foreign interests, many linked to extremist groups including Al Qaeda, and with Libyas LIFG commander Abdul Hakim Belhaj literally pledging cash, weapons, and men to the Syrian rebels and NATOs cause. Indeed, Syria is destined not for a stable democratic-tomorrow, but rather the same division, destruction, chaos, and genocide now rampant across Libya, where self-serving traitors simultaneously sell their nation out from under its people while eliminating their competition through violence and terrorism. As NATO and the UN attempt to court Syrias ruling business and government cliques, it would be wise for Syrians to look at Libya as an example of just how much worse it can get and the necessity to remain unified against what has been planned from the very beginning to be the end of Syria. That the Wests war machine extends not only around the world in the form of vast military assets, but with an immense media infrastructure to propagate their agenda, and a gargantuan network of NGOs funded and directed to subvert every form of national institution should be a big enough clue for stake-holders within besieged nation-states that the West has neither the need nor the desire to share once they prevail. Stand United, or Fall Divided: Basic Game Theory Strategists in the West approach each targeted nation, including Libya and now Syria, employing a form of game theory assuming that those they interact with, friend and foe alike, play using the dominant strategy meaning, each player picks the best strategy resulting in the maximum benefit for themselves only, regardless of how other players play. This means that the West approaches two opposition factions in any given nation, makes their intentions of moving in known, and offers each the chance to defect. Defectors are given calculated benefits and losses, while their opposition will be eliminated entirely. While in reality, both factions stand the most to gain if they thwart the vastly superior West from plundering their nation, neither considers this an option because of a combination of intellectual flaws, thus both will lose more, even under the most favorable outcomes. The West specifically targets and favors those faction with the most flaws in character, intellect, motivation etc., as in any conflict, those ruled by emotions and irrational methodology are infinitely easier to manipulate. In Libya, had the rebels of Cyrenaica worked with Qaddafi to expel foreign encroachment and worked to divide an intact and unified Libyas wealth amongst themselves, they would have both vastly benefited more than even the sole victors are now. Instead, the West was able to prey on the arrogance, ideology, animosity, ignorance, and prejudices of both factions, wearing both down, dividing the remaining victor, and will, in time, eventually even eliminate them altogether. The same can be seen playing out in the perpetually divided Iraq and the same will certainly happen in Syria. The age old axiom of standing united, or falling divided, is just as relevant today as ever. Understanding the true fault-lines running through humanity, between the global corporate-financier oligarchy and everyone else, and disallowing artificial fault-lines to be imposed upon us allows us to stand united against our true enemies and prevail. The moment we begin fighting amongst ourselves, regardless of who prevails, we all ultimately lose.

2	Charlie Sheen Takes Absolutely Massive Stand Against Obama [VIDEO] Actor Charlie Sheen once again was the center of controversy when he decided to publicly slam President Obama on his Twitter account, after the President made the decision to skip a soldiers funeral. The actor called out the President for having more time to fill out a bracket for March Madness than he does for our men in uniform. Barry Satera Kenya u wont attend a soldiers funeral uhkros da street that u kild yet u hav time 4 brackets? S a d c, the actor tweeted. And while this tweet is almost entirely gibberish, the actor does have a point. Obama also skipped the memorial service for journalist James Foley after he was beheaded by ISIS. In fact, the only funeral he seemed inclined to attend was that of Michael Brown. Of course, liberals fired back at Sheen after his tweet, calling him racist for his reference to Kenya. They had very little to say, however, to combat the actors claims about the President not respecting our service men. What do you think of Sheens tweet? 
1	Mandy King, whose quiet, distant manner has led many people to believe she is shy, is actually just an aloof, stuck-up bitch, friends of the 22-year-old reported Monday. 'When you meet Mandy, your first impression is that she's a private person who's only at ease with people once she gets to know them,' friend and roommate Alison Henke said.

3	USDA Shuts Down 4-Year-Olds GardenHeather Callaghan Just when you think the front-yard garden wars cant get worse, enter USDAs rural development dictatorship domineering the food source of the most vulnerable of our society. In a South Dakota subsidized housing unit live four-year-old Rosie and her severely disabled mother, Mary. They survive on an incredible $658 fixed disability stipend. A tiny unused space just outside their back door seemed like a good place to grow some veggies to supplement their food source. The garden was mostly tended by Rosie starting this past May. [Always BEFORE harvest] The garden was ordered by property management to be completely removedthis week. Where are the orders really coming from? Why, from the USDAs Rural Development Agency, of course, who set up the rules for property managers to ban structures of any kind within their landscapes. Property management is strictly upholding this policy. They are not holding up their mission statement: If youre wondering why its illegal to feed the homeless, provide food in your own damn yard, serve your community with a food club, and city workers can and often uproot community gardens and residential yards theres a reason for the nonsensical madness. Its not just bureaucrats acting ignorantly or being jerk-heads. As global elitist rulers anticipate the deliberate toppling of the food supply and urbanization, we can expect top-level on down bullying from two strong arms of the UN: Codex Alimentarius and Agenda 21. If youd like to do something to help this family or send a clear message to the USDA that we are watching and will not allow this absurd dictatorship, you can use the template from the petitionprovided by Kitchen Gardens International: (Your name, your town, your state) Another thing would be to break government dependence, starting now, at any cost.

1	Reigning AMA Motocross national champion Ricky Carmichael, considered by many to be the greatest off-road motorcycle rider in history, abruptly announced his retirement from competition Monday after completing a summer course in physics at Florida State University. 'I've had a great run in both professional motocross and Supercross, but the more I learn about kinetic energy, momentum, and ballistics, I'm beginning to think I've had a pretty good run of luck, too,' said Carmichael, whose instructors said seemed particularly interested in the effects that gravity and sudden deceleration could have on a Suzuki RMZ250 four-stroke dirt bike. 'I'd like to thank everyone and everything that helped me get this far, especially the considerable gyroscopic forces of the wheels on my race bikes, which were apparently sometimes the only thing keeping me from sublimating into a liquid state of matter.' Carmichael is rumored to be considering a career in NASCAR after completing courses in business and marketing. 
3	Why Does Maryland Have The Most Millionaires Per Capita? The Answer Might Make You AngryMichael Snyder Thanks to wildly out of control government spending, the Washington D.C. region is absolutely swimming in cash. In fact, at this point the state of Maryland has the most millionaires per capita in the entire nation and it isnt even close. If you have never lived there, it is hard to describe what the D.C. area is like. Every weekday morning, hordes of lawyers, lobbyists and government bureaucrats descend upon D.C. from the surrounding suburbs. And at the end of the day, the process goes in reverse. Everyone is just trying to get their piece of the pie, and it is a pie that just keeps on growing as government salaries, government contracts and government giveaways just get larger and larger. Of course our founders never intended for this to happen. They wanted a very small and simple federal government. Sadly, today we have the most bloated central government in the history of the planet and it gets worse with each passing year. If you were to ask most Americans, they would tell you that the wealthiest Americans probably live in cities such as New York or San Francisco. But thanks to the Obama administration (and before that the Bush and Clinton administrations), the state of Maryland is packed with millionaires. In particular, the Maryland suburbs immediately surrounding D.C. are absolutely overflowing with government fat cats that make a living at our expense. Every weekday morning, huge numbers of them leave their mini-mansions in places such as Potomac and Rockville and drive their luxury vehicles to work in the city. Asthe Washington Post has detailed, at this point approximately 8 percent of all households in the entire state of Maryland contain millionaires, and the rest of the area is not doing too shabby either In Maryland, nearly 8 out of every 100 households in 2014 had assets topping $1 million, giving the statemore millionaires per capita than any other in the country, according to a new report from Phoenix Marketing International. The rest of the Beltwayisnt lacking in millionaires either: The District and Virginia ranked in the top 10among those with the highest number of millionaire households per capita in 2014. In Virginia, which was No. 6on the list, 6.76 percent of the states 3.17 million households are millionaires. And in the District, which rounds out the top 10, 6.25 percent of its more than 292,000 households are millionaires. And while not too many of them are millionaires, your average federal workers that toil in D.C. are doing quite well too. Once upon a time, it was considered to be a sacrifice to go into government service. Not anymore. If you can believe it, approximately 17,000 federal employees made more than $200,000 last year. Overall, compensation for federal employees comes to a grand total of close to half a trillion dollars every 12 months. In fact, there are tens of thousands of federal employees that make more than the governors of their own states do. Does that seem right to you? If you want to live the American Dream these days, the Washington area is the place to go. Just check out the following description of the region from the Washington Post Washingtonians now enjoy the highest median household income of any metropolitan area in the country, and five of the top 10 jurisdictions in America Loudoun, Howard and Fairfax counties, and Falls Church and Fairfax City are here, census data shows. And of course let us not forget the fat cats in Congress. Accordingto CNN, our Congress critters are now wealthier than every before The typical American family is still struggling to recover from the Great Recession, but Congress is getting wealthier every year. The median net worth of lawmakers was just over $1 million in 2013, or 18 times the wealth of the typical American household, according to new research released Monday by the Center for Responsive Politics. And while Americans median wealth is down 43% since 2007, Congress members net worth has jumped 28%. Not only that, there are nearly 200 members of Congressthat are actually multimillionaires Nearly 200 are multimillionaires. One hundred are worth more than $5 million; the top-10 deal in nine digits. The annual congressional salary alone$174,000 a yearqualifies every member as the top 6 percent of earners. None of them are close to experiencing the poverty-reduction programsaffordable housing, food assistance, Medicaidthat they help control. Though some came from poverty, a recent analysis by Nicholas Carnes, in his book White Collar Government: The Hidden Role of Class in Economic Policymaking, found that only 13 out of 783 members of Congress from 1999 to 2008 came from a blue-collar upbringing. Incredible. But even though almost all of them are quite wealthy, they dont hesitate to spend massive amounts of taxpayer money on their own personal needs. For example, according to the Weekly Standard, more than five million dollars was spent on the hair care needs of U.S. Senators alone over one recent 15 year period Senate Hair Care Services has cost taxpayers about $5.25 million over 15 years. They foot the bill of more than $40,000 for the shoeshine attendant last fiscal year. Six barbers took in more than $40,000 each, including nearly $80,000 for the head barber. And in one recent year, an average of $4,005,900 was spent on personal and office expenses per U.S. Senator. So the grand total would have been over 400 million dollars for a single year. That seems excessive, doesnt it? And even when they end up leaving Washington, our Congress critters have ensured that they will continue to collect money from U.S. taxpayers for the rest of their lives In 2011, 280 former lawmakers who retired under a former government pension system received average annual pensions of $70,620, according to a Congressional Research Service report. They averaged around 20 years of service. At the same time, another 215 retirees (elected in 1984 or later with an average of 15 years of service) received average annual checks of roughly $40,000 a year. If you can believe it, there are quite a few former lawmakers that are collecting federal pensions for life worth at least $100,000 annually. The list includes Newt Gingrich, Bob Dole, Trent Lott, Dick Gephardt and Dick Cheney. Of course the biggest windfalls of all are for our ex-presidents. Most Americans would be shocked to learn that 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. So does this make you angry? Or are you okay with these fat cats living the high life at our expense?

3	House to Vote on Bipartisan Amendment to Stop Federal Medical Marijuana RaidsSupport for Changing Federal Law at Unprecedented Level in Congress. More Than Half of All States Have Some Kind of Medical Marijuana Law As early as this Thursday the U.S. House could vote on a bipartisan amendment to the Commerce-Justice-Science spending bill that would prohibit the federal government from wasting taxpayer money interfering with state medical marijuanalaws. The amendment is being offered by five Republicans and five Democrats. A vote several weeks ago on allowing Veteran Administration doctors discuss medical marijuana with their patients received 195 yes votes. Support for letting states set their own marijuana policy without federal interference is rising quickly. This vote is about letting states help their citizens without interference from out-of-control federal agencies, said Bill Piper, director of national affairs for the Drug Policy Alliance. Members of Congress have an opportunity to both protect the patient/doctor relationship and save taxpayer money. No person should have to fear being arrested for following the advice of their doctor. The amendment is being sponsored by Reps. Rohrabacher (R-CA), Farr (D-CA), Young (R-AK), Blumenauer (D-OR), McClintock (R-CA), Cohen (D-TN), Broun (R-GA), Polis (D-CO), Stockman (R-TX), and Lee (D-CA). A recent Pew Research Center survey found that nearly three-in-four Americans (72%) believe that efforts to enforce marijuana laws cost more than they are worth, including 78% of independents, 71% of Democrats and 67% of Republicans. There is strong support for state medical marijuana programs, with 80% of Democrats, 76% of Independents, and 61% of Republicans supporting the sale and use of medical marijuana in their state. Despite scientific evidence in support of marijuanas medical benefits marijuana remains a Schedule I drug under federal law, the same category as heroin. In contrast, cocaine and methamphetamine are Schedule II drugs available for medical use. Patients, caregivers, and medical marijuana providers live in fear of federal arrest and prosecution for following the recommendation of doctors. Federal agencies also actively obstruct efforts to reschedule marijuana or even study its medical benefits. The first petition to reschedule marijuana was submitted to the DEA in 1972, but it took 16 years (and several lawsuits) for the agency to finally make a ruling. Following two years of hearings, DEA Chief Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Francis Young ruled that marijuana should be rescheduled because it did not meet the legal criteria for a Schedule I drug. However, Youngs finding was overruled by former DEA Administrator John Lawn. The DEA rejected a petition to reschedule marijuana again in 2011. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) maintains a monopoly on the production of marijuana for research purposes. The federal government does not maintain a monopoly on the production of any other drug. As a result it has been impossible to conduct the FDA drug development trials necessary to develop the plant into a federally-approved prescription medicine. The experience of Professor Lyle Craker, director of the University of Massachusetts-Amhersts Medicinal Plant Program, is a case in point. Dr. Craker had sought permission to cultivate marijuana to research its medical benefits. After years of legal wrangling, DEA Administrative Law Judge Ellen Bittner issued a ruling that it was in the public interest to end the decades-long NIDA monopoly on marijuana production for research purposes. Once again, the DEA Administrator overruled the ALJs decision and denied Dr. Crakers petition, protecting the federal monopoly over marijuana for research. Patients and their families have turned to the states for help. The Rohrabacher-Farr amendment would protect people following their state medical marijuana from federal arrest and prosecution by prohibiting the Department of Justice and DEA from spending taxpayer money to block the implementation of state medical marijuana laws. The amendment wouldnt prohibit federal agencies from arresting people for medical marijuana in states where it is still illegal. It simply protects the majority of states that have chosen to provide safe and legal access to medical marijuana from federal interference. Federal marijuana laws are going to be reformed; its not question of if but when, said Piper. I cant think of any other issue with such strong polling numbers across the political spectrum. Bipartisan marijuana law reform is going to happen. Source: Drug Policy Alliance 
3	From Curfews To Mandatory Evacuations, Police State In View During SC FloodBy Brandon Turbeville As the flood crisis got under way, South Carolina saw its major cities inundated with so much water that city centers were unnavigable without a boat, coastal areas saw houses collapse, and both city and rural areas saw roads wash out completely. With dams bursting and bridges washing away, local governments, citizens, and emergency management personnel clearly had their hands full. Most of them, to their credit, did their jobs well enough with the resources they had. However, as has now become typical, local governments immediately began racing the flood waters to see which could become the greatest threat to the people of South Carolina. While the waters were by far the greatest danger to the lives of South Carolinians, there was another threat looming over South Carolina that will have much more long-lasting effects than the flood. While water has no concern for citizens rights, it is unfortunate that neither do many local South Carolina governments who began imposing curfews and mandatory evacuations in the midst of the crisis. To be clear, those who decided to joy ride in the midst of the flood were taking chances with their lives. Yet, local government imposition of curfews is a drastic response to the threat of individual citizens endangering themselves. An individual has a right to travel, regardless of the weather or threat that is posed to their own lives by the act of traveling. Local governments in South Carolina, however, seem to think that the right to travel is subject to suspension when in conflict with the wishes of said government and emergency personnel. The argument, of course, is that by traveling, the citizen is endangering the lives of emergency personnel if the citizen finds himself in a situation from which he needs to be rescued. This argument eliminates both the right and the choice, as well as the possible necessity, of travel from the citizen, and is based squarely upon the idea that the convenience and responsibilities of emergency personnel outweigh the right of the citizen. They do not. Emergency personnel are just what the name implies emergency personnel. They are not designed to be fair weather friends but individuals who respond in an emergency situation. It is precisely in situations such as this that emergency personnel are needed the most and precisely when they earn their money. Emergency personnel, in instances such as these, might very well be asked to risk their lives; but risking their lives is what emergency personnel are supposed to do in emergency situations, not launch a clampdown on rights to ensure their own safety. Curfews are to be placed upon children by parents, not upon citizens by government. To be fair, if there is a situation in which it has become so untenable to launch rescue missions that the lives of emergency personnel are at stake due to the poor choices of citizens who refuse to act in an appropriate manner during an emergency, the proper response would be one of education and warning, complete with a subsequent leaving of the citizen to the repercussions of his own choices. Informing citizens that, as of a certain time, there will be no more rescues conducted in a certain area if the rescues are a result of travel, etc. is by no means the ideal but are an available option. The restriction of travel is not. Let the citizen live with his choices. Likewise, such is the case regarding the many instances of mandatory evacuations implemented across the state of South Carolina during this recent crisis. While offers of assistance to evacuate and warnings that evacuation is necessary are most certainly appropriate, the force or compulsion to leave by authorities is not only wrong, it is unconstitutional. Yet this is exactly what has happened all across the state. For instance, in Florence county, the Florence County Council met in an emergency session and voted to implement a resolution that allowed the Sheriffs Department, Florence County Emergency Management personnel, and Florence administration to force individuals from their homes in a number of locations due to flood waters. The resolution read, Florence County Council directs that the Director of Emergency Management, the Florence County Administration and Sheriff of Florence County are authorized to implement the directives of this Proclamation and enforce the State of Emergency procedures; and The authorized individuals are directed and given the authority to compel evacuation of all of part of the population from any stricken or threatened area in Florence County, if such action is deemed necessary for the preservation of life Further, to authorize the Director of Emergency Management, the Florence County Administrator and Sheriff of Florence County to impose a curfew from 7 p.m. until sunrise for non-emergency activities should they deem necessary, until the Proclamation is rescinded. A reasonable response would have been to declare an evacuation effort anyone who wants to leave should be able, anyone who wants to stay, can stay, but the rescue party will not be back for those who choose to stay behind. Anything further than that is a violation of constitutional rights. It is worth noting that, while the Florence County Council can meet in secret in an emergency session to restrict the rights (the most basic right to be secure in your home) of the people of Florence county, the Florence County Council was wholly incapable of meeting ahead of time, when all South Carolinians were aware of the impending danger, to assure the cleaning of storm drainers and roadside gutters, a project that was largely untouched and undoubtedly contributed to the massive amounts of water standing in Florence. Perhaps next time Florence faces an impending disaster, the county council will be so kind as to engage in rational preparation as opposed to the evisceration of rights. While this writer does not want to exaggerate the levels to which the police state was implemented in the state of South Carolina or the extent of the damage caused by the floods (nowhere near Katrina and New Orleans on either account) we cannot simply ignore small violations of rights where they exist, even in an emergency situation. The growing power of the police state under the guise of emergency management is in clear view. Citizens may try rationalize the violation of rights under arguments of expediency, emergency measures, or simply Stockholm Syndrome but rights are still being violated nonetheless. If rights are not protected, even in the event of an emergency, they will eventually be violated in peace time. Indeed, if we allow rights to be violated under the guise of an emergency, we will soon find ourselves living under a perpetual crisis.

They werent from CAFOs and were declared an invasive species even though they were on his farm. The state dragged him through years of court, threatened prison and imposed $700,000 in fines for harboring ferals. He also went through a painful embargo period an attempt to dry up his farm and put him out of business. Over 2,000 businesses were affected by the arbitrary actions of the DNR (no lawmaking abilities) and an administration out the door. Marks wife, Jill, writes: Hogwash encapsulates the experience of one citizen who stood up to the Powers That Think They Be. This isnt party politics, as this situation started in a Democrat administration and was continued in a Republican administration. This is about right and wrong. People vs. political machine.

1	Soaking in her bathtub Tuesday, area resident Linda Marston, 32, pleasured herself over the thought of a long-term committed relationship. 'Mmmm... oh, yeah, baby... I want to settle down with you forever,' moaned the never-married Marston, as she gently massaged her clitoris with two fingers. 'Oh, God, yes... two kids, maybe three... and a house in the country. Big swingset in the backyard.' Several hours later, Marston masturbated again to the idea of loving someone unconditionally through good times and bad. 
2	What Michelle Obama Did Today Will Make You SICK At this point, its clear that there is nothing Michelle Obama loves more than partying with celebrities. Except for taking lavish vacations of course. Its not surprising, then, that she dropped everything this week to hang out with US Olympians in Time Square. According to reports, Michelle was spotted taking fencing lessons from Olympian Ibtihaj Muhammad. She was also seen participating in passing drills with members of the U.S. womens basketball team. The event was meant to celebrate 100 days to the Rio Games. Its also not a shock that Michelle took the opportunity to push yet another agenda. This time, she is teaming up with the U.S. Olympic Committee and national governing bodies to introduce youth in America to different sports. This may seem like a noble cause, but judging by her prior initiatives, this is probably just another attempt to draw attention to herself. What do you think? Is it time for the Obamas to be out of the White House once and for all? 
1	WINSTON-SALEM, NCIn what many are calling a stunning and wildly unexpected development, witnesses confirmed Monday that a college student charging at full speed across Wake Forest Universitys Davis Field may actually have an outside chance of catching the Frisbee currently gliding to the ground. As soon as that thing went in the air, I thought, Sorry, man, theres no way, but turns out hes a lot faster than he looks, said onlooker Julia Maddock, 20, who noted that though the awkward, wobbling toss initially seemed tilted at too severe an angle to be catchable, the student has since covered such an incredible distance that he mightmightjust get there before it hits the grass. He just took off and made a beeline straight for where he somehow knew it was headed. Christ, look at him go. He still probably wont get there in time, but its a miracle he even has a shot here. At press time, sources at the scene were confirming with astonishment that the son of a bitch is actually diving headfirst to try to catch it.

Caitlyn has starred in her own TV show, and was even honored as Woman of the Yeara nomination that had Americans outraged. Now, a Kardashian family biographer has come forward with claims that Caitlyn is regretting her sex change. The Wrap reports that the former Olympic Decathlon gold medal winner is ready to regain his manhood. Sources told reporters that right after the sex change, Caitlyn suffered from a panic attack, claiming, What have I done to myself?!? This is not surprisingand frankly, were surprised this didnt happen sooner. But hey, Bruce and Caitlyn sure got some media attention out of this. 
3	Camping on Your Own Land is Now Illegal Govt Waging War on Off-Grid LivingBy Jay Syrmopoulos As zoning laws have increasingly targeted the off-grid lifestyle, many have moved to the Southwestern U.S. as an escape from overzealous zoning officials. In Costilla County, Colorado, there has been a major influx of off-grid residents to the San Luis Valley. The combination of lax zoning regulations, cheap property, and an already thriving community of self-reliant off-grid homesteaders has led to many new residents. The off-grid lifestyle, enjoyed by an estimated 800 people, is now being threatened as county officials have recently made moves to essentially regulate and license the lifestyle into oblivion. Tensions boiled over during a county commissioners meeting in San Louis, Colorado, devolving into a shouting match between homesteaders and police.One of the major points of contention is the countys attempt to ban camping on your own property, in an effort to force the off-grid homesteaders back onto the grid. We are residents who have come to live off the grid. Its all our land. These are harsh economic times. We have nowhere to go, twenty-year resident Paul Skinner said. Weve been regulated out of life, homesteader Robin Rutan told Colorado Public Radio. I came here because I couldnt live by the codes [in other regions]. The county, which requires residents to have a camping permit to live in an RV, small house or other camp style home, has started to simply refuse the renewal of these permits. This is obviously a major problem for homesteaders, who often live in such accommodations while building their permanent residents. They started enforcing the changes before they were actually made, resident Chloe Everhart said. Everhart said she performed due diligence prior to buying her land, with one of the most important aspects of the plan being a 90-day camping permit. Without a 90-day permit, camping on residential plots is only allowed for 14 days per every three months. But just as Everhart was arriving, the board of commissioners instructed the planning and zoning commission to no longer issue camping permits. In spite of her best efforts, Everhart is now an outlaw. County land use administrator Matt Valdez disputes the claims that the county is trying to regulate peoples lifestyles out of existence. He says that his office has discretion to deny camping permits under existing codeand claims that too many new residents were habitually renewing permits meant to be temporary. Were not trying to drive people off their property, Valdez said. Valdez said he simply wants to make sure already established rules are followed for aesthetic and safety reasons. The vilification of people who choose to live an alternative lifestyle is extremely commonplace in modern America. While there may be legitimate issues that need to be addressed, people have a right to use land that they own in the manner they see fit. To use the technicalities of the law to essentially evict people from land they own reeks of tyrannical overreach and oppression of personal liberty.

People being forced to live how someone else decides concerning how they acquire water and power is obviously an attempt to deny people the right to live outside of corporate dictate. The US is no longer a democracy and this kind of thinking is a clear an indication that the major corporate entity run by the richest people on the planet will be served at the expense of everyone. Unfortunately you are slightly incorrect. The US is a democracy! When 51% of the people tell the other 49% how they have to live, you have a democracy. The US is (supposed) to be a Constitutional Republic. Where if it isnt in the constitution then they can not force you to obey it. Worse than that it is a representative democracy. Its like dumb(democracy) and dumber(representative democracy). The US is run by oligarchy. All the rest is a lie for children. the US is and always has been Socialism/Communism blended in connect dots and look history up. how do yu think bernie sanders got as far as he is So just how did we get Gay rights laws when 78% of the U.S. was against it the lawsNo we do not still live in a Democratic countryWe do , however; live in a Socialist Democratic Party countryThanks to the likes of Obama, Hillary, Bill, Bernie Sanders and the Socialistic Supreme Court U.S. Gov. is also a private corporation, did you know that? yep pretty obvious DEFY these criminal rules and protect your neighbors from the code enforcers by any means necessary. Most people would not have the courage to resist even if their own children were being raped to death right in front of them. You and I will never be free because far too many people in this world are natural born slaves. They will always be the majority. Its not enough to kill the politicians and the enforcers, we actually need to kill all the sheeple FIRST because until we annihilate the slaves, the slavemasters will always have new soldiers to fight for them. Mama Banana this is one of the most specious arguments I have ever heard against working people good thing your arguments only resonates with a tiny delusional majority working people see thru it before even finishing reading about it. I guess folks should try and understand what is wrong with fee simple land ownership because the correct wording should say, Why you folks cannot camp on that land leased to you via fee simple tenant status only use. Means they own it. So how did they end up owning all of the land both public and private? Easy, they lied to you for over two hundred years. Read the Paris Treaty. Google James Montgomery, America is still a British Colony.. Why is it that even if you have the fee simple deed youre still required to pay rent? And if you dont have the rent money why is it they can throw you off your land in this free society? Yup, America is owned by The British Royal Crown of England! Yes, and then when we go back around 1213 and review the succession of the British Empire by King John to the Pope we really have ourselves an eye opening moment. This has been in effect for a long time already, especially here in Michigan. Townships dont want property owners living cheap like in campers year-around. It depreciates property values for other landowners because its an eye-soar. Many Mexicans (migrant workers) coming up from Texas to Michigan live like this and it makes your country side look shabby. However, if a person wants to disconnect from the power company, they should have the right to do so.. If the looks are somehow deemed more important than people having a place to live, they could make legislation that makes decent fencing mandatory. This is how the libs care for the poor kick them off their last asset, their land. Tent cities everywhere, in almost every city in the nation. Paid for with the money of working tax payers. And these people want to set regulations on personal property, determining how you must live? Maybe they should mind their own damn business.The law should protect all of the people. not taking sides. This is more about money grubbing utility companies, politicians.. Its also a way for people who are trying to find a way to kick people off their land so they can grab it.. I think you would find its not the libs doing this, but rather the opposite. Well ok then, Statists of all stripes, on the so-called left (socialist/communist) and the so-called right (corporatist/fascist). There is very little difference between the two anyway, they both want to enslave us all under their form of collectivism. no taxes, money coming in? this is just wrong to me, IF these people dont pile up trash and crap, LEAVE THEM ALONE. Id be there but its to far to go! They need an armed militia to defend their property. That is the only language these tyrants understand. Lets see some cops or whoever go onto that property to enforce these illegal ordinances and lets see who wants to die? The land owners have nothing left to lose so they wont be backing down. Make it a huge standoff and bring in the news coverage to expose these scumbags. If they want to engage well see a lot of dead cops. Just ask them what facts they rely on to prove that there codes apply to YOU.They have none. And so we see the UNs Sustainable Development agenda at work. When are North Americans going to realize that the UN is the shadow government and it dances to the tune of the One World Order? Everything else and everyone else is window dressing. Why do you think we see all these false flag operations and a militarized police force? Democracy is just a wordto be interpreted now by One World Order measure.. If you think this is bad, in Ontario, Canada, the government has put our health and very lives in the hands of a select few called Collegesand they get to decide what healthcare treatments we can expect and when. Natural therapies, holistic education and even dietary advice is now a punishable offence. The #1 killer and disabler is now in charge of eliminating safe and effective quacks. We have all participated in our own demise by running to the big corporations, buying into their convenience, protection and slick marketing schemes. We can turn the tide only when we stop buying junk food, backing down when conservation authorities and building code tyrants come-a-knocking, refusing to see conventional medical system tyrants and buying into the pill for everything story. Grace.you are a wise woman. I have Lyme disease and it has afforded me the time to do a lot of studying on the workings of the medical system, the government and big pharma ..and the dangers trusting them .with anything. Herbs ,diet, simple remedies and lifestyle changes are the only thing that will actually cure any disease. Never poison. With Agenda 2030 and its un- population agenda if people would wake up and realize what they were putting into onto their bodies was killing them and start using natural God given herbs for their health then they might live.People are too busy to even care that the world is crumbling down around us and that we are complacent in their genocide of the human race. You are correct Grace. The bible talks about this in the book of Daniel. Have no fear though. God said it wont work as iron and clay dont mix, and that He Himself will destroy it. The UN is not a shadow government. That distinction belongs to the Jewish collective. At best the UN is just another distraction, at worst its merely another tool being manipulated by same people that manipulate everything else. They sell poison at a premium in shiny uniform boxes and say were crazy if we dont want to buy it. Heres an important bit of info, we are not engaged in commerce when we buy directly from each other. As Hippocrates said, Let your food be your medicine, and I will add, buy real food from real peopleEven if we use fake money to do that, we are better off and those who grow real food are also better off. Its a revolutionary act to pack your own lunch and the lunch of your children. Corporations are only interested in preserving their bottom line. We must be interested in preserving our very lives. Rise up. FEEL THE BERN I was served an order by a sheriff from the health officer a couple months agoa family practice M.D. It ordered me to complete a septic system permit application and to pay the fee ($450) with the usual threats that I can be jailed for not complying. Im not making this up folks. I have been threatened with jail if I do not give them hundreds of dollars. Ive gone rounds with the county health district for the last 5 years. I have consistently refused to put in a septic system. I wont go into the evidence and research showing that the dry composting system I am using is the best system due to my proximity to wetlands and a shallow clay layer. Its a 20 acre parcel, half wetlands half pasture. While I have access (even though rented outgood people) to the fully approved septic with RV port attached to the modern house I built under their codes and approvals, Im not going there with them. The stakes are too high to take the easy out. Currently we are in a stalemate. I am not the property owner. I put the land into the Spokane Habitat Trust when I bought it 15 years ago, as listed on the county tax roll. Im the trustee and get to use a small off-grid cabin for managing the property. I also finalized putting it back into land patent status and it has been filed as such on the deed in the auditors office for the last 3 years. I responded that I wasnt the owner and not authorized to speak on their behalf but was compelled to respond since the order was to me. The application form (I didnt use of course) is just about how the system will be designed so I did a single sentence under the heading Application for septic permit per Health Department Order. It reads The proprietary practices within the patented boundaries of the parcel at issue and as approved for use by the Board of Directors of the property owner are proven effective to protect the public health and will continue. Under the heading of Payment of Septic Application Fee per Health Department Order I wrote, The value of my labor to respond to the order and threat issued in this matter pertaining to property I do not own is greater than the fee ordered to be paid therefore it is paid in full. I ended with the parting shot that, given they have been harassing me for 5 years without a single shred of evidence I am threatening the public healththat they have now crossed the line to the criminal act of extortion. Failure to immediately cease and desist their harassment will result in criminal charges. The silence of their non-response has been deafening. You can be sure theyll be back at some point. Cheers, Dennis PattersonStevens County Washington Super job Stay with it Hello fellow Washingtonian, {Spokane}. I feel it necessary to warn you that under the EPAs new water laws you might be in serious trouble. I hope that isnt the case, but they passed these laws in accordance with agenda 21 for the sole purpose of stealing peoples private property. Good luck. EPA? That joke? The same EPA which thought warned went on and caused the release of MILLIONS of gallons of poison into the Animas river and has done NOTHING to correct it? The same EPA which promotes stealing our money for these idiotic wind [non]generators, which leak oil into the ground, give less than 3% of the power, disturb wind patterns and MURDER MILLIONS of birds a year? That epa? They can go fly a kite!!! Yeah, that EPA. You know the one obama will let get away with murder? Its actually the countys critical areas ordinance that is the problem. The county absolutely will not respect that we own the land and have since a decade before they passed their ordinancewe are grandfathered. I have friends who are dealing with the EPA rules to fence their cattle off from the spring on their land. Theyve given EPA the finger. So far so good When you think you bought the land, you didnt. Corp. U.S. still owns it, so send the bills to them! You are a true Great Amereican Patriot Hero, Dennis! They get away with this a lot these days because most people cant afford or are too busy to fight them. One of the overlooked reasons for these new efforts to intrude upon peoples privacy and property is the fact that these mismanaged, greedy, feckless county and municipal authorities are dole drunk on our taxes and in incestual configuration, they are going broke just like the Fed G. Couple that with the insidious Agenda-21 plan and the modest private landowner is in for a long battle. Youre not hearing a peep out of them until they figure out how to sidestep you and put you back on the defensive. While youre waiting, Gun up with a good lawyer with passion for such legal combat in preparation for at least an injunction, pending an outside analysis, but dont be surprised if you dont get it as theres a lot of nepotism and inbreeding in rural areas and the judge might also be part of it. Then the local news media might endorse the fight for readership value and usually a municipal board doesnt like the publicity exposing their greedy harrassment motivations, and lastly you might have to initiate a State Class Action civil rights lawsuit if you can find anyone else with similar problems in your state. Thank you for your civilian combat service! Admirable approach, I wish you all the best. It is a crime that people cannot actually own land..but actually, nobody should own any land; it should be held in trust for those who can demonstrate good stewardship of it by keeping it free of chemicals. But the government should not have the power (or any incentive) to tell us what we can or cannot do, other than to regulate obvious, proven polluters. Ill bet you could find any number of far more serious contamination issues in your political jurisdiction. Maybe you should try to overload them with legitimate things to fight so they leave you alone. Septic systems are not the best way to deal with human waste, either, especially when so much non-waste (gray water) is injected into the system unnecessarily. Stipulate a reasonable time frame for response and hold their administrative (maritime) feet to the fire. If you dont know your rights, you dont have them. They are not granted by government, but by our Creator YHVH, and impinging upon them is coming against the Creator Himself. Well done. They are frightened of someone challenging their authority so you must be made an example. You blaze a trail for others to follow. KUDOS Any sheriffs deputy that started telling people that they cant camp on their own land probably wont live to collect a pension Valdez needs to go back to Mexico.. LOCK AND LOAD AND WHEN THEY ARRIVE TAKE THEM DOWN MY LAND IS MY CASTLEMY GUNS SAY SO Land ownership is a delusion. You never own the land, even if there is mortgage. Its just a big scam by the bankers and government. Yeah, buy a house and ask the paperwork name you as the Superior Owner and not just a Tennant also ask for the original land deedand they will freak out! Good point, but I really dont think theyll freak out theyll tell make it a court case. Courts have been usurped by British Admiralty Law of the Sea, instead of Natural / Common Laws. Thats why Judges, Attorneys, Prosecutors, Defense, etc. all must pass The BAR. Hey, I hear ya, and years ago I had my homes deed worded in some way dont remember the details but we coincidently were sued over a land dispute, and the plaintiffs lawyer was totally flummoxed by the way all our property was held. He could do nothing, and never even told us what we did was wrong or illegal. So you can fight these people, and win, though it is in reality a major pain in the butt to title your property like that. One of the big hassles was finding insurance insurance companies will just not deal with deeds held in a certain way. Bottom line is the powers at large do as they damn please. Yup, thats because you dont own the land / property. SORRY, but what your government is doing is ILLEGAL! You must warn them that they face TREASON. You must warn the communist running it and I dont know what they are doing running it? Do you???? God forbid if they ever catch someone pissing on a tree on their own property. Thats a valid point. You obviously know nothing about the actual history of WW2, Hitler, the Jewish effort to subvert Germany, etc. Hitlers only mistake was going after little Jews, instead of the big Jewry. This view is too simplistic. Are you saying that its Jewish influence that is causing a inflict? The problem with Hitler? He wasnt killed soon enough We shall start a spiritual and material war of the whole world against Germany. Germany is striving to become once again a great nation, and to recover her lost territories as well as her colonies. But our Jewish interests call for the complete destruction of Germany Vladimir Jabotinsky, in Nascha Rjetsch (January, 1934) Germany is getting too strong. Weve got to smash her. Winston Churchill (1936) We will force this war upon Hitler, if he wants it or not. Winston Churchill (1936 broadcast) The prevailing financing system is no longer based on production capacity, and money as a mean of redistribution has become a commodity that can, like any other commodity, be bought and sold. Or, in other words: the disease that will cause the ruin of the world is called usury. France and England were allied to each other because both are built on the power of money and are under the domination of the international banking system. Germany has liberated herself from this international power and so becomes an object of suspicion. She is already working with the concept value-labor and thats what we want to avoid at all costs. Already we are feverishly active in the destruction of this country. Financiers have nothing to lose in it and everything to gain. British General Fuller (1937) More quotes wanted ? Vladimir Jabotinsky was a champion of Jewish people due to the horrid ways in which they were treated in that time. To take quotes out of context does not make these people responsible for the war. No one is is even allowed to deny the holocaust in Germany as it is against the law. No one can display the swastika as it too is against the law. It does not matter that symbol was not of hate until Hitler made it so. Hitler was an evil man that was himself of Jewish ancestry. Regardless the cause of the war, It can never be laid at the feet of Jewish people. These are a people who have been beaten down through history and have risen to the top every time. Just as Israel is a great nation, Jews are great people. You are a talented propaganda regurgitator sister. There are two sides to every story, and Israel (or at least it Zionist controllers) has now officially become what they claim to despise. Mass murderers. Putin will keep them in check in Syria for the time being. Thanks for your total moronic spew of idiocy; Had your head wedged between your butt cheeks very long? Yes! By all means, attack the messenger, but dont even attempt to try to prove them wrong have you forgotten how many innocent people America has and continues to SLAUGHTER????? Holocaust great destruction and death due to fireThe great fires of London and Roman are examples. So I can be arrested and jailed for telling the truth and you thing its a great idea. The Jews never suffered a holocaust they where simply mass murdered along with a lot of other people. What not good enough for you pathetic lying pieces of crap, does not fit your pathetic fake victim scam Make the world a better place hang idiots like D. Tucker. Being hurt is not an excuse to hurt others. Holocaust and what former President Jimmy Carter calls apartheid Excellent Ten thumbs down for you. What ????? Economic warfare is good when its done by our team even though its no less criminal than when its done by the other team ? You must be a relativist/Communist, dandelion ! American, British, French, Jewish hypocrites their only ideology is ME ME ME. Again, in plainer English, Germany is getting too strong. Weve got to smash her. Winston Churchill (1936) .The roots of war were envy, greed and fear.- Major General J.F.C. Fuller, historian, England Is Churchills and Fullers English not plain enogh for you, girlie ? In the course of the 19th century the British changed their primary target from Russia to Germany. They fought Russia in the Crimea War, for instance, to prevent Russia from gaining access to the sea. Britain wanted to maintain their hegemony on trade, especially with India. But as Germany became an industrial giant they decided they wanted to isolate Germany. They did not want competition from Germany, whose industrial products could undersell those of Great Britain. They did what they could to oppose the railway from Berlin to Baghdad, for instance. They could have prevented WWI, but chose not to. They then, along with France, made sure the Treaty of Versailles imposed harsh measures on Germany, including steep reparation payments. And with Germany being stripped of all its assets and gold it could not pay the reparations, nor could it really operate in an international trade organization run by bankers and based on the gold standard. What Germany ended up doing was trading with countries to its east on what amounted to barter deals. This goes to the Fuller quote above. The trade and banking policies of the west isolated and impoverished Germany, and thus pushed them into a situation that Nazis were able to exploit. After WWII the same policies were aimed at Russia. Russia was to be isolated because they did not want to be exploited by western banking and trade practices. You need to worry about the country you live in and how they are taking our money and putting it in their pockets leave Germany out of this they have come a long way to be strong. Their people benefit from their government we dont from our government wake up.. Your comment does not make much sense to me. Hate to break it to you. He wasnt killed at all. That story washed pretty well with post-WW2 sheep, (as did the news about Hiroshima that stories of civilians dying of radiation was all propaganda) but there is OVERWHELMING evidence come to light that he went to Argentina with a whole lot of other high-ranking nazis to live out his remaining days peacefully. The corpses left behind were substitutes (not very good ones), but the allies were not going to admit he got away, it made them look pretty bad. Research it yourself if you like. I just wanted to corroborate your statement by adding that Hitlers skull was tested found out to be that of a 20 something year old woman. I strongly suggest that those interested in the truth watch a documentary made by a David Cole. A JEWISH investigator that investigated Auschwitz. And for those that dont like the flavor or tone of that statement, check out the latest plaque at Auschwitz. In the 1950s it was 4.2 million killed. 30 years later it dropped to 1.5 million, and today stands at just under 900K. (Thats what the official plaque says, not some conspiracy theory-tard. You ppl can google that for yourselves) So where did the other 3 million dead Jews go? And for those that wanna twist my statement by pointing out what a racist I am for flying the conf. flag, this is just a protest for those FB rainbow flag ppl that think the SCOTUS making the other 14 states capitulate through tyranny a great idea vis a vis gay marriage. What planet are you from? Earth FBI admits Hitler went to Argentina. Ironically, The Simpsons had an episode showing this. Not for lack of trying. Such as seen on PBS Struggles for Poland. And of course, Valkyrie, Tom Cruise, based on true story of von Stauffenberg Hitler was never killed. But of course in your world if something is not reported by the corporate media then it does not exist in reality. Hey idiot, that would make me a democrat. Im far from being one of those. I dont t care if Hitler survived, cause he would have lived in fear till he died. I do my own research, why dont you try that before accusing someone of being a media hound Explain, O Pompous One, just how Churchill and Roosevelt were the mass-murderers. The murderers were Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. You must be a communist to defend the likes of those killers. What a baffoon. Read a book written by someone other than Alynski. You must understand that this war is not against Hitler or National Socialism, but against the strength of the German people, which is to be smashed once and for all, regardless of whether it is in the hands of Hitler or a Jesuit priest. Winston Churchill (1940) Ever heard of carpet-bombing of civilians in WW2 ? Churchill ran the British empire the largest empire on the planet ever. The Brits formed it and maintained through mass murder. Concentration/extermination camps where a British invention first use in South Africa to get rid of the Dutch settlers. Do not bother to research it you are obviously brain dead and like it that way. And I suppose benny nuttyahoo is a saint along with bush and blair?? too much Foux News I think, and as a matter of record the American administration is the number one terrorist regime on the planet Referring to the current administration, I tend to agree with you. They are definitely committing terrorism against the American people. Deliberately incinerating civilians at non military targets such as Nagasaki, Hiroshima, Dresden and Hamburg show that Roosevelt and Churchill were mass murderers, SILLY Roosevelt was dead and Churchill never had one to use. That would be Harry Truman, Sillier. Dresden was firebombed on Roosevelts watch, along with Churchill and the US and British bomber crews involved he bears responsibility for the deaths of all those incinerated civilians, and for all the other German cities targeted under the campaign of terror bombing. My point still stands. The Blitz. Buzz Bombz. V-1s V-2s. Germany and Japan started the carnage before we or the Brits ever got involved. Youll just spew whatever it takes to attempt to put the USA in a bad light. An obvious liberal nut-job.. I dont need to try to put USA in a bad light. The fact youre trying to justify the terror bombing of non military civilian targets for the sole purpose of incinerating women, little kids and the elderly puts USA in a worse light than I ever could. Stalin and Hitler killed 40,000,000 people. But thats okay for lefty-loons. Go away. you are one of the most ignorant people I have ever heard open their mouth. But you lack knowledge. Simple. NO, e just dont believe in rolling in BULLSHYTE like you obviously loved to do. Coming from you, Judenfilth, thats a nice compliment. Thanks. Germany had no chance ! Everyone knew that. EVERYONE who was in power. Yes, Germany did have a chance. Germany couldve won the war if not for Hitlers blunder in allowing the escape of the enemys army trapped at Dunkirk, for example. No. Well its your own personal fantasy so I guess you can have it any way you want it; knock your socks off, Shlomo. I thought you are a bit smarter than that, Harold You wouldnt know thought if your boyfriend shoved it up your ample @ss, goofball. Why read propaganda and blatant stupidity written for morons like YOU to suck up. That was only the first mistake. Failing to pause the war and develop long range bombers and fighters to finish off the Brits was #2. Failing to finish the European, African and Middle east zones of conflict was #3. The final grand bit of stupid was invading Russia and not having the men, equipment and knowledge needed to finish the job. The West did not win Hitler gave it to them, if he really did survive the war and die in South America everything makes sense. Hitler was an agent of the west. Lay off the sauce and the dope! Police cannot enter private property without owners permission. Building codes cannot prevent sleeping in a van: Can they? When you think you buy land / property you are just a tenant, and not the superior owner. And more dead after the collapse. just go to the Denver airport and look at the artwork. Any government or bureaucracy that would put creepy stuff like that on public display certainly isnt looking out for the publics best interest. Thats how fascists roll. They own your government and sent us the bill. Not a bad gig if you dont have a conscience. Kind makes you wonder if they really own the land. This is typical of all governments. They are run by petty tyrants, and they want to tell you how they want you to live. They will use all of the force they have available to force you to obey their contrived laws. The idea is to get as much of your money as possible, and make you jump through the hoops they have arranged. Get your people elected, and change the laws. F*ck Them ! ! ! When Obumo pays my mortgage and all of my utilities I wont camp off the grid Ill be able to afford a roof over my head just saying He has no right to tell a property owner what they can or cannot do. This is still America I hope Are the Law makers crazy that you have a permit to camp or live on your property which you have already paid taxes on the need to be recalled period Get up a few bucks from all the campers and put a retainer down to sue the county for millions in actual damages including psychological stress, etc. Make it a Constitutional class action suit and go and set up a website for donations and ill be the first to throw in a couple hundred bucks. This is happening all over the country as greeedy small rural municipalites and their town/county boards see revenue stars in their eyes so that they could support their freeloading butt-buddies and feckless parasite progeny and inlaws on the tax-payer dole. They also make these No small trailers allowed or make a minimum square footage (usually over a thousand) requirement JUST so they can increase the property taxes they collect! Its time for all self reliant value producers to fight back where they hate it the most. Sue them back to the stone age, and register to vote in your respective county and use that as leverage. It Is all part of the fundamentally change American. I remember that campaign promise. If youre off the grid then they cant monitor you. Thats their problem. Too bad for them. Let them come find you. Vote for Democrats, this is what you get. Some folks camp year round on public and private land and nothing is said, all of a sudden your home away from home is a non occupyable areaIf its not a provable heath risk, the gov needs to stay out of this. We made a monster, a devil out of Hitler. Therefore we couldnt disavow it after the war. After all, we mobilized the masses against the devil himself. So we were forced to play our part in this diabolic scenario after the war. In no way we could have pointed out to our people that the war only was an economic preventive measure. US foreign minister Baker (1992) Not the political doctrine of Hitler has hurled us into this war. The reason was the success of his increase in building a new economy. The roots of war were envy, greed and fear.-Major General J.F.C. Fuller, historian, England Real simple! VOTE the liberal control freaks out of office, then change the laws that are being used for tyranny! Why not form a cooperative and move from property to property every 2 weeks. It is time for everyone to ask every state legislature to consider rescinding their states ratification of the 16th amendment.This government of lawyers and extraneous laws can only be strangled at the pursestrings. You may be interested in some land I have.. Wait, I know. You found it on the internet, so it MUST be true. Yes, somehow the comments drifted to this The British loyalists in the Colonies were exiled to Canada. Where are you going to exile the anti patriots in America Mexico? They have 30 million fake votes ready to go. And immigrant populations that are non citizen are counted in the census, giving California and other Democrat states more electoral votes and seats, just as the Southern Democrats did with slavery. So is the Constitution going to allow you to outvote those 30 million on top of the electoral college rigging? The popular votes for Presidencies were quite even as far as I knew. 30 million one way or another will seal the deal. Amish would have a heck of a time living there. YES YES, FITS you quite well. Is this face of the avatar your real face ? This is another example of politics run amuck. All these political idiots should be run out of office. Then sent to live with other democrats. Too many were renewing permits that were meant to be temporary? Where does it say in the law that they were meant to be temporary? What will they do to the Amish they are not all hooked up are they? GOVERNMENT OVER REACH IS ALSO GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION.IN NO WAY WHAT SO EVER SHOULD ANY AGENCY BE ALLOWED TO DICTATE ANY USE OF YOUR PROPERTYIF WE CHOOSE TO LIVE THERE NAKED IN COMMUNES IN TENTS IT SHOULD BE NOBODYS BUSINESSPERIOD This was a free country Lots of men and women braver than I fought for it Wow these days its hard for Americans to make a living but the refugees are staying in 4 and 5 star hotels in Nashville and other states they get money for everything and this is fair? I was going to take my child off grid to give her a sense of morals and appreciation but it seems any way we turn we are being victimized! The cure is having the ALLOIDAL Title. Learn it and use it. Still reciting 70 year old wartime propaganda ? The problem with USA is people like you who unquestionably recite what the establishment lets you recite. USA USA USA USA ! The next time someone asks who is responsible for the status quo, ask yourself if such draconian laws are passed by the 1%, or the 99%. So the next time someone complains about the 1%, which group should the complaints be aimed at? My comments were made regarding the thread in which living off the grid in some places has been made illegal. And so if im not in the right area just ignore. i think you buy too much into the victors version of things..stop watching the History Channel lies.. Oh my God general plan ost are you crazy ? Such a goofy fraud. Im sorry you lost relatives but in 1939 no one says there was any exterminations as such going on in 1939. They died from the privations of war, similar to the one million German women and children who were roasted alive by Allied bombers- after the Allies had a clear advantage and were winning the war.. i e they were murdered for spite. The claims of the local tyrannical code enforcers that they are just trying to enforce the rules (which are always for our safety of course) is no different than other tyrants throughout history who claim that they were just following orders. Oil was a big reason for the Iraq war. Other war profiteers benefited as well. And after the cold war the US military needed another enemy, so they created a War on Terror. War feeds the military industrial complex. Yes, there are overlapping interests. But eliminating an existential threat to Israel was key. The Iraqi war was not a defensive war, it was an offensive war. Israel has been involved in expansionism ever since its inception. The US, too, engages in offensive wars. The US has not been involved in a defensive war since WWII, and that one is debatable. All rationales given for wars amount to a hill of beans. Wars are based on lies. One needs to come to recognize rhetoric for what it is, and also propaganda for what it is. I agree with you, Israel is just violently squatting on Palestine, and then they cajole us into fighting their wars. WW2 was a bad war, the US should have stayed out, and same goes for WW1. Thanks. Ill take a look. The Palestinians are mostly Hamas as in terrorist. I feel no sadness when one is blown to bits Oh bullcrap! Israel is and always will be supported by those who believe. I for one will stand for Israel and will support Israel You are sadly ignorant. agree Hitler had to be stopped. Period Deprivation of rights under color of law is a crime. Perjury of oath is a crime. All state official without the delegated authority to assault you on your private land without a court order makes them liable for damages in their personal capacity. Learn the law and file a lawsuit. Get help. They are always acting in fraud when coming after your rights. Get help. Do the research. True This is why folks really have got to put a stop to government having so much say in our lives. There is always a price to pay. I guess living here in Texas I hadnt realized this was a problem in some states. You dont need a permit to camp on your own land here, unless you are in a deed restricted subdivision, which would be foolish to have bought land there if you want to camp. Whats interesting here is that the San Luis Valley was traditionally off-grid and not by choice. The original settlers were Hispanic farmers far from any amenities like electricity and plumbing. As late as the 1950s, kerosene lamps, and outhouses were pretty common. we are having the same problem in australia Thats fine as far as public school History goes, but it conveniently leaves out the part that BOTH World Wars were quite literally planned and orchestrated behind the scenes in advance by globalist bankers and financiers who controlled nations and heads of state through fiscal policy and steered them like little cars into the great existential threat of our age. You just repeated what I said in a different way. Public school history book? Find a history high school history book that identifies bankers being involved in funding Germanys economic revitalization and Hilters military might. Conveniently left out? So original, can I steal it? I wasnt writing a dissertation. You just like to argue dont you? Make your self seem smarter I suppose Repeated what you said in a different way? LOL, not hardly, kid. Look, if youre gonna go around using Historical examples to prove your points, you should at least get the History RIGHT and not just repeat pop History talking points for kids that you got brainwashed with in your Rockefeller-Foundation-approved school curriculum. The Treaty of Versailles was a dog and pony show. Both World Wars were planned over two decades in advance and outlined in secret treaties between all the heads of state of belligerent nations, who youll remember, were all cousins. The very fact that you even mentioned the Treaty of Versailles shows you have memorized a fictional History that was meant for plebs. Im not trying to show you up, Im encouraging you to go digging way, way deeper. DISOBEY this is a clearly a step to far against COMMON LAW our government representatives are now too corrupted by big money to serve WE THE PEOPLE and our interests their instructions are now invalid If the rich and their filth want a fight they can have one THIS IS WAR I hope Matt Valdez loses his office entirely. He has overstepped his bounds! What the f*ck ever happened to the right to life, liberty , and the pursuit of happiness? Is that only if its aesthetically pleasing to others? If they dont like it dont look at it. Land is meant for freedom! So why dont we just make everything aesthetically pleasing at the expense of freedom and live in a cookie cutter paradise where we can all the same, talk the same, live in the same houses (with four variants in the color of the paint) and sing Hail Hitler every f*cking day! This really pisses me off! Actually John the Germans suffered unspeakably at the hands of the Zionist banks which is what drove the Germans wholesale towards National Socialism. The Israelis are merely doing overtly what they have done covertly as the Hidden Hand that Benjamin Disraeli and many of the US Founding Fathers pointed out. The Germans were merely sick of being enslaved by the banks and globalists through the Weimar regime. Hitler turned Germany around and ousted the Zionists and returned Grmany to wealth, a situation completely unacceptable to the banks and economic powerhouse that were bleeding Germany to death through the treaty of Versailles. A situation we are now seeing recur on a global scale and guess what? The whole western world is rebelling against the chaos funding banking/ political class. There is a world wide surge to nationalism. 
1	Noting that the site devoted to the Colorado Rockies and their minor league affiliates had long ceased being updated without any explanation, sources confirmed Friday that local man Ben Gutowskis defunct four-year-old sports blog, The Rockies Report, was still quietly lurking on the internet. Ubaldo Jimenez looked extremely sharp in five innings of work, so he looks poised for another All-Star season that will hopefully help push us back into the playoffs, read an excerpt of Gutowskis most recent post on the inactive Blogspot page, dated March 2, 2011, covering the Rockies spring training games. Meanwhile, Wilin Rosario (remember that name, because hell be leading the NL MVP race in a couple years) has been killing it in Double-A with the Tulsa Drillers, so he could be a game-changer later in the year when he gets called up to the majors. Check back next week for a complete position-by-position breakdown of the roster, the latest Prospect Power Rankings, and a list of potential offseason moves the team could still try to make before the season starts. Reports also stated that the long-dormant blog contained a poll asking readers which team would win the NL West division in 2011, which as of press time had received one vote. 
2	South Dakota Takes A Stand Against Obama Policy, Tradition Isnt Going ANYWHERE Liberals have been trying to push a new bill in order to promote transgender issues. Specifically, they want to allow transgender students to use the bathroom of their choosing. This would essentially allow boys to use the girls bathroom, and girls to use the boys bathroom. Absolutely unacceptable. Earlier this week Republicans fired back with a bill of their own, requiring transgender students to use the bathroom of their biological sex. The Senate voted in favor of this bill, 20-15. This bill protects the privacy of students, and is absolutely necessary. At most, schools should have the option of having a 3rd bathroom for transgender students. Republican Sen. David Omdahl, one of a few leading the issue, is saying that all he wants is to preserve the innocence of our young people. This was a good move by the Senate. Do you support this bill? 
1	LR-4427, a two-year-old laboratory rabbit at Procter & Gamble's cosmetics testing facility, Monday gave his full endorsement to Cover Girl Long & Luscious waterproof mascara for sensitive eyes. Lab rabbit LR-4427 enjoys all-day glamour with Cover Girl Long & Luscious mascara. 'Cover Girl Long & Luscious waterproof mascara will dramatically magnify your lashes for a look that's glamorous and natural,' LR-4427 said. 'And the great part is, they won't irritate your eyes, even if you accidentally smear some over your clamped-open eyeballs with a Q-tip and can't flush it out for 48 hours.' LR-4427 said he also likes the fact that the Cover Girl product stays on, rain or shine. 'No matter what the weather, you're guaranteed gorgeous lashes with Long & Luscious mascara,' LR-4427 said. 'And they'll stay that way all day long, in 10 hours of 200-degree heat from a hair dryer or icy blasts from a shower head.' In the past six months, LR-4427 said he has tried 'literally hundreds' of different mascaras. Of these, he said, Cover Girl Long & Luscious offers the best combination of good looks, durability, and non-corrosiveness. 'The Cover Girl mascara they ground into my right eye is 10 times better than the Max Factor Midnight Thicklash that was ground into my left,' said LR-4427, speaking from immobilization cage 39B. 'The Max Factor stuff is greasy and cheap-looking, not satiny and sophisticated like Cover Girl. And, unlike Cover Girl, Max Factor doesn't wash away easilynot even with industrial soap and steel-wool scouring pads.' According to LR-4427, eyes are the first thing you notice about a person. And nothing is more important to the look of a woman's eyes than mascara. 'If you're anything like me, you hate it when the look you spent all day perfecting is ruined by your mascara running or dripping,' said LR-4427, cocking his head as much as possible inside his plastic holdfast collar. 'Well, your worries are over, because Cover Girl Long & Luscious stays on your eyes right where the injectors put it. With Long & Luscious, there's no need to cauterize your tear ducts shut, unlike some mascaras I could mention.' LR-4427 added that clinical tests have proven that Cover Girl Long & Luscious will leave your lashes 40 percent thicker than Elizabeth Arden mascara. In addition, Long & Luscious will feel 50 percent less like your eyes are melting down your cheeks after being pierced with red-hot fireplace pokers. 'The last thing you want right before a big date is to lose confidence in your mascara,' LR-4427 said. 'You need to know that his eyes will be on yoursnot on any chemical scarring.' 'And if you have a long day... or night,' continued LR-4427, attempting a saucy wink despite his surgically excised eyelids, 'touch-up's a breeze. Just pack more Long & Luscious into your orbital sockets, your nostrils, your anusany of the delicate tissues that get stressed by your busy lifestyleand you're ready to go.' LR-4427 then returned to work, where he is finishing up testing a new aloe-scented exfoliating scrub before being reassigned to Procter & Gamble's small-arms ammunition division. 
2	The Duck Dynasty Family Needs Your Prayers Mia Robertson, the daughter of Jase Robertson, has undergone six major surgeries in an attempt to repair her cleft lip and palate. Before her last surgery, the family asked for prayers and support from their social supports. Now, it appears that Mia is in the process of recovering from the difficult surgery, which required breaking her jaw. Good report on Mia today, Jase told her followers. We are done with daily procedures of moving her jaw forward. She continues to be brave. Few more weeks to go and then another surgery to remove her contraption. Just a couple of weeks ago, Phil Robertson asked his fans to pray for Mia for 6 to 10 weeks following her surgery. Its a long recovery with a liquid diet, he reported. There are times when it is very stressful, Missy Robertson, Mias mother, told her fans. There are different stages that the child has to go through. Still, the Robertson family maintains that their faith in God has helped to see them through the challenging process. Because of our faith, because of the support of our family, and because of Mias optimistic attitude and resolve, we just kind of get through the first few days and it becomes a new normal, Missy concluded. What do you think? Will you continue to pray for Mia Robertson? 
1	Citing the fact that having another spoonful or two wasn't going to make much of a difference at this point anyway, a crippling bout of clinical depression reported Tuesday there was definitely still some Nutella left in that jar. According to the cluster of symptoms relating to persistent anxiety and low self-esteem, it looks as if there's a little left on the lid as well. 'No need to let perfectly good Nutella go to waste, and God knows you've already plowed through almost an entire jar of this junk like some sort of pathetic animal,' said what has been classified by doctors as a chronic major depression, adding that the chocolate-hazelnut spread was delicious and 'the only thing that makes the pain go away.' 'Why the hell not, right? After all, what's the point of stopping now?' Added the severely under-medicated syndrome, 'What's the point of anything, really?' After determining decisively there was, in fact, still a little Nutella left in the jar, the steadily worsening psychiatric mood disorder deliberated momentarily before deciding the best course of action would be to just stick a couple of fingers in there and scoop it out that way, 'because fuck it.' The recurrent lowered levels of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine that were passed down through genetic inheritance then paused and spent approximately three and a half minutes wondering what the hell could possibly be gained from this endless cycle of self-pity, and how a human being could be so worthless and bereft of dignity as to eat an entire jar of Nutella in one sitting. 'What an absolute waste of spaceI suppose a three-hour nap in the middle of a goddamned Tuesday is in order next, eh?' remarked the depressive mind-state, mere seconds away from simultaneously triggering the biological mechanisms for panic and tear production. 'Sure, go ahead. It's not like anyone cares what you dothey all hate you anyway.' As the last of the Nutella spread was procured from the bottom of the jar, the affective disorder announced that perhaps 'disappearing forever' would be the best course of action at this point, reasoning that life wasn't going to get any better anyway, and that the essential hopelessness of existence was, at press time, undeniable. The chronic condition then expressed deep, overwhelming shame and self-hatred over the spoon having been clumsily knocked onto the floor. 'Okay, okay, pull it together,' said the mental illness, responding to increased oxygen in the bloodstream while repeatedly emphasizing in a dead monotone that 'it's not about the spoon.' 'Things have been bad before, and they've always gotten better, right? It's all about mind over matter. So what if life is sad? Fucking get over it like everyone else does and stop being a pussy.' 'Justdon't be this way,' continued the neurosis, again triggering the process of tear production. 'Feel better now. Please just feel better.' Sources reported the multi-symptom clinical state then recommended checking the Nutella jar one more time to see if there was anything left in there. 
2	OFFICIAL: Americas Domestic Security Has Officially Been Breached By ISIS On Sunday, our nation was once the victim of a tragic terrorist attack. A bloody siege at an Orlando nightclub left at least 50 people dead, and an additional 50 people injured. During the event, several witnesses sent out chilling tweets, claiming that they were hiding and praying they would escape alive. Omg. Shooting at pulse, Brandon Wolf tweeted. We hid in the bathroom. And we cant find our friends. Later, Wolf confirmed that he and others hid in the bathroom until they heard a lull in the shooting. At that point, they made a run for it. At 3:25 AM, Wolf sent another tweet commenting that he was still missing one friend. He eventually broke the news that one friend died in the incident and another was missing. This was just one of many similar stories from yesterday, and our heart goes out to the friends and family of all of the victims. Fortunately, police were able to shoot and kill the gunman, 29-year-old Omar Mateen. 
3	New Narrative For Syria: Assads Biological WeaponsBrandon Turbeville Unfortunately, however, the Anglo-Americans seem, at best, ambivalent about their future plans for Syria. This means that the world is not quite out of the woods yet when it comes to the possibility of a general military action against Syria. Even while the United Nations OPCW is now in the process of obtaining and destroying the chemical weapons that were the object of so much paranoia, propaganda, and fear-mongering by the West, many outlets in the Western and Israeli media are now raising their voices in a collective whine over Syrias potential biological weapons. In addition, back in September, an article entitled Assads Biological Weapons Absent From US-Russia Deal, appeared in the Times of Israel which attempted to argue that the chemical weapons agreement was insufficient due to the fact it only dealt with Syrias chemical weapons stockpile not its biological weapons, thus endangering Israel and other American interests in the region. The claims such as those made by van Aalst and Guitta, The Times of Israel, and by others in the Israeli and Western media thus raise a series of questions. Indeed, considering the track record of both the Israelis and West in regards to the Syrian crisis, the most important question is whether or not we are witnessing the beginnings of yet another pro-war propaganda campaign designed to stampede the world into a conflict with Syria or even if the new accusations are the precursor to yet another false flag operation to take place inside the country with the blame being placed on Assad yet again. Of course, the jury is still out regarding whether or not Syria even has biological weapons. As recently as July 2012, many Western authorities did not believe that Assads forces possessed such weaponry, according to the New York Times. Furthermore, according to a study conducted by the James Martin Center For Nonproliferation Studies, written by M. Zuhair Diab, only the United States lists Syria as possessing biological weapons. Diab writes: The report continues by stating: In other words, there is no conclusive evidence to show that Syria maintains a biological weapons program, particularly an offensive one, except for the claims by the United States and those recently coming out of Israel. Indeed, even if Syria did maintain such a program, it is important to point out that, while Syria is a signatory to the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention, it has not ratified the treaty, thus it is not bound by law to abide by the rules of the agreement. This, of course, is not to say that Syria does not possess such capabilities. However, as Diabs article points out, the likelihood that such weaponry, if possessed in the first place, would ever be used in anything other than a defensive manner is extremely low. The ability to control the direction and results of the deployment of biological weapons, the necessary domestic damage that would occur, and the inevitable outcry of the Western powers itching to invade are all unbelievably good reasons to keep whatever amount of these types of weapons the Syrian government allegedly possess defused. Regardless, the propaganda machine marches forward with new claims that Assad is losing control of his biological weapons much in the same vein as claims were made early on that he was losing control of his chemical weapons. These shrieks of horror, of course, came shortly before a series of false flag attacks which attempted to blame Assad for using chemical weapons on innocent civilians. These crimes were perpetrated not by Assad but by the death squads so ardently supported by the West. Similar to many of the catcalls of hysteria circulating throughout the media during the chemical weapons fiasco, claims are now being madethat Assads alleged biological weapons are in danger of falling into the hands of al-Qaeda, thus posing a danger to the rest of the civilized world. Currently, many warnings regarding the alleged biological weapons stockpiles are coming from the British organization, the Henry Jackson Society (HJS). HJS claims that there is a clear and present danger of biological weapons falling into the hands of al-Qaeda and that Jihadists are actively seeking to gain control of the regimes biological weapons stockpile. Indeed, the HJS report goes even further and suggests that the fundamentalists have already done so. As Israel National News writes, Israel National News continues by stating, Logically, several points come to mind after reading the above statements. First, if the production process of biological weapons is indistinguishable from benign biological lab processes, how then are the observers such as HJS so sure that the facilities which they claim are biological weapons facilities are not, in actuality, nothing more than bio-pharmaceutical facilities. With such vague and inaccurate observation, how are intelligence agencies, governments, and militaries sure that the facilities have been weaponized or even that the biological weapons exist. The whole theory behind the threat of biological weapons thus appears to be little more than politically-based conjecture and a stretching of facts that has become so typical of western pro-war propaganda. Second, as the Israel National News article reports, the publicly-stated reason for concern over the Syrian biological weapons program revolves largely around the potential for such weapons to come into the possession of jihadists, al-Qaeda, and other fanatics currently fighting against the Assad government. Indeed, we are even told that there is a strong likelihood that al-Qaeda fighters already have taken possession of a number of these biological weapons. The al-Qaeda linked al-Nusra front is specifically fingered in this regard due to the fact that several bio-pharmaceutical laboratories have been looted as of late by the terrorist organization and that bio-weapons experts from al-Qaeda have recently been caught trying to enter the country. Of course, if the danger is that al-Qaeda might gain control over such weapons, why pressure Assad in the first place? After all, it has been Assad who has fought al-Qaeda and all of its affiliates tooth and nail for the last three years, dealing them steady and crushing defeats along the way. If anyone is to be blamed for terrorists and terrorist organizations coming into the possession of biological weapons, it is the United States, Britain, France, Saudi Arabia, and the rest of the coterie of terrorist supporters who have trained, funded, organized, and directed death squad operations in Syria in earnest since 2011 and as far back as 2005.[1] Lastly, and perhaps most concerning, is the possibility that this developing propaganda campaign could be designed to act as a precursor to yet another false flag perpetrated by the death squads to be blamed on Assad in order to justify a military action against Syria. As bad as conventional warfare and chemical weapons may be, the use of biological weapons will be even worse. Indeed, it is important to remember the constant barrage of propaganda surrounding the ridiculous red line of chemical weapons usage by President Barack Obama and Skull and Bones John Kerry shortly before chemical weapons attacks conveniently began occurring in Syria, each time growing in intensity and each time being proven to have been the work of the death squads and not the Syrian government. Thus, the question remains: Are we seeing the cause of imperialist aggression gasping for air as it is caught in the middle of its own death throes, or are we witnessing the beginning of a campaign that will end in the release of biological weapons inside Syria with the blame immediately being placed on Assad, which will then be used to justify a military invasion? Although only time will tell what the real purpose of such fear-mongering may be and the result it may bring, it is important that the American people remain unfazed by such pro-war propaganda.

3	Two More Counties Say No to HUD, Refuse Federal FundsBy Mike Maharrey Castle Rock, a community of 55,000 people in central Colorado, recently decided to refuse funds from the federal governments Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Sedgwick County, Kansas and Douglas County, Colorado have now joined it. New HUD regulations known as Affirmatively Further Fair Housing (AFFH) totaling 377 pages in all gives the unelected HUD bureaucrats broad powers over grant recipient communities, including the power to reverse electoral decisions by local voters and force them to join regions against the their wishes. Under AFFH, the federal government can control zoning, planning, land use, location of public transportation, and even the socioeconomic diversity of elementary and secondary classrooms. Sedgwick County commissioner Richard Ranzau told Property Value Defense the thought of accepting the HUD grant money was enticing. But he and three other commissioners ultimately reached the same conclusion. Do we really want the federal government to control all of our zoning? Its just not worth it. On June 1, 2016, the commissioners voted to refuse any HUD money associated with AFFH. If we did accept this money and all of the governments control, what happens to our county in the future? We will be tying future officials hands and sticking them with zoning and planning and our community will have no say, Ranzau said. Douglas County initially wanted to work with HUD, according to Property Value Defense. The county has accepted HUD block grants for over a decade. But the AFFH rules raised some red flags. Commissioner David Weaver said he became more concerned when he saw in HUDs certification papers that the agency required, A policy prohibiting the use of excessive force by law enforcement agencies within its jurisdiction against any individuals engaged in non-violent civil rights demonstrations. This raised concerns because the county has nothing to do with the training and deployment of local police forces. Anyway, what does this have to do with affordable housing? Weaver said became obvious and disturbing that HUD was expanding their authority beyond reasonable bounds. The county forwarded a concerned response to HUD noting hazy definitions and conflicting wording that could leave the county liable for lawsuits and erase part of their authority. But Weaver said HUD would not get back to us. When the county did speak with HUD, the agency was evasive and did not even tell them of a 60-day extension for the agencys hearings, according to Property Value Defense. Ultimately the county voted not to accept the funding. We knew that we could not rely on HUD, because they were not honest with us, Weaver said, Weavers response when a reporter asked how the council would handle the heat from the decision is revealing, There is no heat. We made a decision and will find a way to fill the hole. It is what we always did before HUD came along. [Emphasis added] Towns, counties and states need to follow the lead of these three communities and reject federal funding with all of its strings. While the money with the promise of funding wonderful projects serves as an enticing carrot, a large stick inevitably follows. By taking the money, cities, towns, counties and states forfeit control over their own communities. Instead, bureaucrats in D.C. get to dictate and direct local concerns. It isnt about helping poor people. Its about command and control. State and local government cant complain when they willingly let the feds bribe them into relinquishing control. But they can refuse the money. Like Weaver said, communities managed a long time without federal handouts. They can do it again. This is the simplest and most effective nullification strategy there is: if you dont want the federal control, dont take the money. Its as simple as that. Yay. Im in ks, glad they r doin somethin right!! I agree with HUDs basic goal of providing affordable housing to low-income persons who would otherwise die on the fringe of over-priced/inflated real estate markets, and does that job well, at least for its clients. Anything beyond that is over-reach. It seems HUD is trying to get involved in local politics in terms of police brutality, which the Federal government is partly responsible for creating by selling police departments military hardware. So I would say dont just refuse HUD money unless you also refuse federal militarization of local police. The county has nothing to do with training of local police? Really? If the county pays then training is under its perview. Congrats Castle Rockand its a great place to live.KUDOS, not playing and keeping the creep ay bay, nice. HUD = Hustlers Unaccountable Degenerates 
3	Bloombergs at it Again: Electronic Cigarettes in the CrosshairsPaul Lawrance If the ordinances were to be executed, the display of smokeless tobacco and e-cigarettes would be prohibited in retail stores and would require 21 years of age to acquire. The bills, which were drafted by the Health Department at the request of Mayor Bloomberg, define electronic cigarettes, their parts and accessories as tobacco products. Tobacco and menthol flavored e-cigarettes would still be available in retail stores, while all other flavors must be sold at age-restricted tobacco bars. Since Dec. 31, 2001 NYC law has prohibited any new tobacco bars from operating. Read the CASAA leaks here Bloombergs attempt to prohibit the sale and consumption of large sugary soft-drinks recently was shot down by a state appeals court. Even though the court found Bloombergs effort to ban large soft drinks in NYC unconstitutional, the state is still pushing for the laws passage. Nanny Mike has vowed to decided what is best for other people through the use of force his position as mayor illegitimately grants him until he is replaced as mayor at the end of the year.

2	22 Paramilitary Islamic Communities In The US Located The government has been relentlessly trying to convince American citizens that Islam is not a threat to our country. Time and time again, theyve painted conservatives concerned about an Islamic invasion as racists and bigots. Now, the threats are being realized right before our eyes. According to reports, the FBI is currently investigating nearly 1,000 individuals in the United States with ties to ISIS. Meanwhile, there are 22 paramilitary Islamic communities in this countryand that is just counting the ones authorities know about. The groups are reportedly operated by Jamaat al-Fuqra, a Pakistan-based group. Perhaps the most famous of these settlements is Islamberg, New York, which is being headed by Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani, a Pakinstani cleric. Other communes operated by the organization are located in California, South Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Michigan and Tennessee. The Clarion Project was able to obtain secret footage of the paramilitary training in Islamberg, the main headquarters for the network. The footage was first featured on The Kelly File two months ago. Now, a second tape has been released. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Does the Obama administration need to stop turning a blind eye to these threats? Is it time we took action? 
3	Jakarta Blasts: ISIS Inc Strikes AgainBy Tony Cartalucci Yet we are expected to believe that ISIS has the time, energy, resources, and inclination to attack Indonesia in a spectacular, large-scale bombing and mass shooting? And why? Where does Indonesia fit into the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria? According to the Wests official narrative, Indonesia doesnt fit in at all except in the most abstract, ideological way imaginable. But if you understand that: then ISIS attacking Indonesias capital of Jakarta makes perfect sense. It was punitive. It was also a warning to Jakarta that it has a choice; subjugation by the West, or destabilization. The same choice was given to Thailand in August of last year when US-Turkish-backed terrorists blew up 20 people in the heart of Bangkok. This was after it became clear that a definite and permanent shift was made by Bangkok toward Beijing, with new defense industry contracts being sought, existing ones being fulfilled, joint military exercises being organized with China to replace Vietnam-era exercises generally held with the US, and massive infrastructure projects being pursued jointly by Bangkok and Beijing. The attack in Bangkok also took place as it became abundantly clear that US-backed political fronts in Thailand were being rooted out and denied any future opportunities to find themselves back in power. Likewise, Indonesia while paying lip service to Washingtons war of words with China in the South China Sea has been growing perhaps too close for Washingtons liking to Beijing. Jakarta had just signed a multi-billion dollar massive rail infrastructure deal with China. Not only does this bring Indonesia and China closer together, it will continue to do so over many years to come. The deal also came at the expense of Americas allies and geopolitical proxies in Tokyo who also attempted to bid for expanding Indonesian rail infrastructure, but lost out to Beijing. For now, despite the threats, attacks, and attempts to undermine and subvert Thailand for its geostrategic shift, Bangkok has decided not to capitulate to Washington. It has remained relatively un-confrontational with the US in words, but in actions, it has pivoted away from the US own pivot toward Asia. Indonesia now has a choice. Allow the US to leverage this recent attack to reassert both its designs and ambitions upon Indonesia and give its proxy political fronts and proxies scattered across Indonesias political landscape, police, military, and business community, or to join Thailand and others in a long-term vision that sees Asians maintain primacy over Asia, not Washington. Tony Cartaluccis articles have appeared on many alternative media websites, including his own at Land Destroyer Report, Alternative Thai News Network and LocalOrg. Once again, Tony Cartalucci has presented a summary of the cogent facts of the destructive hegemony that is traced to the U.S. in the ISIS-ISIL matter, and terrorism in Thailand and Indonesia. U.S. CITIZENS HAVE THE ATTENTION SPAN OF GERBILS ON CRACK! THEY ACCEPT GUN FALSE FLAGS, TERRORISM, VIOLENCE, MUSLIM GENOCIDE. ENDLESS OIL WARS. THEY ACCEPT THE CRIMINAL TREACHERY OF THE 1,600 WHITE WEALTHY .1% THE GOVT THEY OWN (WITH THE HELP OF ISRAEL) IN PLUNDERING DESTROYING NON-WHITE NATIONS. Its not just in the US friend. This is a global thing on a scale that we havent seen before. Its called the New World Order. And its coming at us fast. Americans have this crapped shoved down our throats and the msm backs it up daily. 
1	Republican presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann fired back Wednesday at critics who have said the Minnesota congresswoman's ability to lead the nation would be greatly hindered by her frequent, hours-long blackouts from which she invariably awakens covered in blood. 'This is a complete nonissuewho among us hasn't gotten the occasional blinding headache only to wake up totally nude two days later in an abandoned church, covered from head to toe in someone else's blood and with absolutely no recollection of what happened in the intervening time?' said Bachmann, later adding that she is otherwise healthy and, in fact, is fairly certain she gets a significant amount of aerobic exercise during her prolonged fugue states. 'I think I can handle the job of running the country just fine even if now and again I have one of my little spells where I come to in the middle of the South Carolina woods tightly gripping a bloody lead pipe in one hand and a ragged piece of what I think was a scalp in the other.' Many political analysts have expressed doubt regarding Bachmann's presidential chances, citing the 1988 loss of Michael Dukakis to George H.W. Bush after it was discovered the Massachusetts governor had cooked and eaten a border collie while sleepwalking.

2	BREAKING: A New Candidate May Have Just Entered The Presidential Race Time and time again, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan has maintained that he was fundamentally against running for the seat he currently holds. He has also shut down rumors about his desire to run for president. Now, it looks like his promises may not be as certain as they appear. In September of last year, The Hill asked Ryan if he would run to replace Boehner. No, Ryan answered firmly. Because I dont want to be the speakerThat is a job for an empty nester. South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy stood behind Ryan in his opposition, claiming that he knew from a one-on-one conversation that what Ryan was saying was true. I ask him a while back if he would consider being the speaker, Gowdy claimed. He put his hands on my shoulders and said, I love you guys, but not enough to be your speaker. Now, hes making similar claims about being the president. In October, he stated his clear refusal to run, stating, While I am grateful for the encouragement Ive received, I will not be a candidate. His personal spokesperson backed up that statement in an appearance with NBC, and another spokesman later said, His position has not changed, and I cannot predict if it will. As we know, Ryan eventually gave into the pressure of establishment politicians to run. Its hard to see how he would turn down pushes to enter the presidential race. What do you think? Should Ryan run for president? 
3	Grassroots Alaska Kills Agenda 21By Caroline Collins Local activist Jamie Fagan wrote to us, describing the process that turned the concerned residents into a force that the Borough Council could not conquer. It is a story of ambition and persistence that inspired us to make the video that accompanies this press release. Here it is Jamies own words: Sometime in mid April of 2014, frustrated and ready to throw in the towel due to lack of support for our anti-NDAA resolution, I phoned Dan Johnson for advice and encouragement. He talked me into continuing, which I am very thankful for. Not too long after that phone call, it occurred to me that I could probably drum up more support by inviting Dan to Kodiak to give a presentation. Dan came to Kodiak for about a week in mid-May and gave three separate presentations. (As a side note: On Dans second presentation at the local American Legion an extremely intoxicated man continuously yelled at Dan to shut up punk. Dan handled it very well.) In mid-August, the PANDA resolution failed before the city council by a vote of 3 to 4. On August 29th, Rosa Koire gave her presentation. Dans and Rosas presentations drew audiences, and I developed an email list of over 150 local supporters. After the PANDA failure, our core group of six to eight people were momentarily at a loss for what we should do, since we had to wait for one year before we could present our anti-NDAA resolution again. We werent at a loss for long. It came to our attention in October that many sections of the proposed code revision were absolutely horrific. I also learned that Rosa Koire knew our Community Development Director, Bob Pederson, during his stint as CDD in Island County WA. She made no bones about how she felt about him. She feels he ought to be locked up for the horrible things he did as CDD in Island County. Many others in Island County feel the same way. Some of the other people who had been loosely following Kodiak PANDA, whom I did not know at the time, got in touch with me about the code revision. Many people worked very hard reading and scrutinizing the 340 pages of bureaucrat-speak. It turns out that many people had been fighting this code for a few years but they did not have the organization or numbers to make much of a difference. Thanks to a lot of hard work, we were able to put together a list of the worst parts of the proposed code revision and mail them out to all 5500 Kodiak addresses. Also, several people ran radio and newspaper ads pointing out the worst of the code. Many others were handing out flyers and collecting signatures on a petition to defeat this code. The combination of all of these things, plus the fact that many people in Kodiak has already been aware of the horrific nature of this new code, lit off an unbelievable and unprecedented firestorm of support to defeat it. People who have lived in Kodiak over 50 years and who are very politically active say they have never seen anything like it! Our group now has over 400 people who have signed on and to whom I regularly send emails. This is very exciting as that is about 3% of the population of our Island and probably accounts for 20% or 30% of the voting population, which is easily enough to sway pretty much any election in Kodiak. There were rumors after the Planning and Zoning committee unanimously voted to kill the code revision and that several members of the Borough Assembly were going to try and resurrect the code revision, but I believe that was simply hot air from Assembly members who wanted the new code to pass, and who, I can say with almost certainty, will not survive another election. Solutions Institute believes that any community can accomplish what the residents of Kodiak did. We invite inquiries from activists needing help in getting a movement organized, visible, and triumphant. Find out more. Good job. It would be nice to have a short rundown of the proposed code. I dont watch videos. The Un Agenda 21 counsel has a long arm and they wont be happy until they have taken away our sovereignty. We have had to keep fighting here in N.C. and quite a few activists have been on the alert. We need to get the UN out of the good ole USA. They are nothing but Oligarchs who think they know whats best for We The People. Go Alaska. Keep up the good fight. Start by kicking them out of your community. Their policies have been woven into all our general plans, but terminating membership is a great start. hahaha.even activistpost is playing dumb with these useless articles about the fact that Congress is secretly attempting to renew the Patriot Act, and this time around it will be more powerful than ever. And surprisingly, the Philadelphia train wreck is just another diversion likely created by our beloved government and its criminal thugs. Apparently, a builder of these rail cars (for 38 years now) says the trains are not allowed to exceed speeds of 70mph with a built-in overstop function. His sense is that someone disabled that function. Of course, our wonderful alternative news on the internet is just as compliant as the rest of the major media by ignoring the two things I just mentioned. Go figure. Its all distraction folks and most web blogs (like this one) are apparently bought off since they FAIL to bring you the real issues. Stuxnet virus. Jim Stone has done some excellent work. Wow, fantastic. Only 3%. An irate tireless minority keen on setting brushfires of freedom. Reminds me of the recall of gun grabbers in the Colorado state legislature. It took RMGO supporters working on their own (hurdling over local RINOs) to get the job done. Read Rosas book to better reconcile whats happening in your community with The Agenda. 
3	One More Casualty Of The 9/11 Farce - The PetrodollarBy Brandon Smith The 9/11 attacks were billed by the Bush Administration as a wake-up call for the U.S., and neocons called it the new Pearl Harbor. But instead of it being an awakening, the American public was led further into blind ignorance. The event launched wars throughout the Middle East, energized by a strike-first doctrine which was supposed to bring unprecedented democracy to the region. Instead, the Middle East has now become as unstable as it was during WWII. The penchant for Western governments to fund and train terrorist groups is now verifiable mainstream fact rather than being considered conspiracy theory as was the common accusation back in 2001. Pentagon papers outlining support for the formation of ISIS are available for anyone to read. The only disconnect that the public still seems to suffer from is that orthodox Republicans fail to recognize that the support for Islamic terrorism has been just as prevalent under Republican presidents (al-Qaeda) as it has been under Barack Obama. And, Democrats refuse to recognize that Barack Obama has been guilty of all the same criminal foreign policies they used to protest under George W. Bush. There have been substantial economic consequences as well. The Iraq War alone is estimated to have cost around $2 trillion, with billions more in veteran benefits forthcoming. These numbers, of course, stop accounting for costs after 2010, when the war was deemed officially over. Costs continue to this day as the U.S. maintains its military presence in the region along with thousands of private contractors we rarely ever hear about. The U.S. official national debt in 2001 was around $6 trillion. Today, the national debt has grown to more than $19 trillion. This astonishing debt accumulation is only partially due to combat operations in the Middle East; however, one must also consider the amount of interest owed on debts accrued. There have also been numerous socio-political consequences post-9/11, including an ever expanding police state mentality which is reaching critical mass. The inevitable outcome will be open totalitarianism in the name of security, and rebellion in response. Clearly, after 15 years of disastrous policy, it is time to admit that the U.S. response to 9/11 has damaged us far more than the actual attacks ever could. Many of us in the liberty movement have studied the circumstances surrounding 9/11 extensively, including evidence indicating either government complicity in the attacks, or outright participation. Such a discussion is beyond the scope of this particular article, but I highly recommend anyone skeptical of U.S. government involvement in 9/11 look into the scientific data collected by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth and see if your assumptions are not rattled. Interestingly, the 9/11 truth movement may be partially vindicated in the near term as debate rages over the release of redacted and classified documents tied to the original government led investigation into 9/11. The problem is, the release of these documents is just as calculated as the original cover-up. The fact that the involvement of the Saudi Arabian government in the events of 9/11 has suddenly hit the mainstream media this year is probably not a coincidence. As I outlined in my article The global economic reset has begun, the U.S. economy has been protected since the credit crisis of 2008 by three pillars, and each of these pillars is now being systematically demolished. The first pillar was fiat stimulus and quantitative easing. This pillar was removed through the Federal Reserves taper program. The second pillar was the use of near-zero interest rates to funnel cheap or free money through overnight loans to banks and corporations which they then used in a long cycle of stock buybacks. This pillar is now being removed through interest rate hikes by the Fed, and stock buybacks will be dead before 2016 is over. The third and final pillar holding up the U.S. economy is the dollars world reserve status the dominance of the dollar around the world as the primary currency used in international trade. World reserve status allows America to maintain extreme levels of debt creation and protects us partially from fiat hyperinflation. Because so many dollars are needed by overseas governments and corporations for international trade, the Federal Reserve has been able to perpetuate massive stimulus programs without all the money created immediately burying the U.S. system as what happened in Weimar, Germany. The problem is, if the dollar ever loses world reserve status, the unknown amounts of dollars created by the Fed and held overseas will come flooding back to destroy the illusion of our currencys value. The dollars world reserve status is highly dependent on the fact that it is the petrocurrency; the vast majority of oil purchases around the planet are made only in dollars. In fact, most oil producing nations will not sell their stock unless dollars are used. The dollar has enjoyed this awesome advantage primarily because of the relationship between the U.S. government and Saudi Arabia. For now, Saudi Arabia is still the largest holder of oil production market share in the world. This market share has been declining somewhat recently due to falling global demand and more specifically falling U.S. demand, which has led to more vicious competition from other producing nations, including Russia and Iran. Falling U.S. demand by itself has perhaps led OPEC nations to question the continued validity of the dollar as the petrocurrency. In November of 2015, the Saudi government hinted at the possibility that they might depeg from the U.S. currency entirely. This act alone would essentially destroy the dollars petro-status. The conundrum facing the Saudis was increasingly low and unstable oil prices to which the petrodollar adds a level of uncertainty. Mainstream analysts argued that Saudi Arabia may be forced to choose either cut production to increase prices, or end the dollar peg and stabilize prices, by switching to a basket of currencies instead (Special Drawing Rights, anyone?!). Obviously, after the engineered absurdity at the Doha meeting this month, there is absolutely no chance in hell that Saudi Arabia will commit to any substantial cuts in oil production. In fact, the Saudis have just announced that they may expand oil fields in order to increase production to even greater historical levels. So, oil prices are going to remain low for now, and will probably fall exponentially if a battle for market share between Iran, Russia and Saudi Arabia goes nuclear, as I have predicted. This would suggest that the Saudis will end the peg to the dollar within the next couple of years. As I wrote in my article Economic crisis goes mainstream; what happens next? an oil price panic could lead to conflict between Saudi Arabia and the U.S. and disrupt the petrodollar. And, this would precipitate the fall of the dollars world reserve status; meaning, the globalists would get exactly what they want the death of dollar dominance and the rise of the SDR system under the IMF as a prelude to global currency and global economic governance. However, another catalyst from left field may be needed. A sort of black swan event enter the 28-page secret chapter of the 9/11 congressional inquiry. Supposedly, the documents are a bombshell linking the Saudi government directly to the 9/11 hijackers and exposing their aid to said terrorists. Despite Obamas supposed peace offerings to the Saudis, the White House is still said to be poised to release these documents to the public in the near term. The Saudis have responded with extreme anger, and have openly threatened to dump their $750 billion in U.S. treasury holdings if the documents ever see the light of day. This would invariably end the Saudi peg to the dollar and thus end the dollars petrostatus, which would then expedite the end of the dollars world reserve status. It would be a catastrophe. The set-up is perfect. The liberty movement gets some vindication that there was indeed a conspiracy surrounding 9/11, but the true scope of that conspiracy remains hidden as the Saudis take the brunt of the blame. The Saudis get an opportunity handed to them on a silver platter to kill the dollar peg, an action they have been planning for quite some time anyway. The U.S. government then becomes partly responsible (in the public eye) for opening the door to the destruction of the dollar, a process which the globalists at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Federal Reserve have been planning for decades. Then the IMF can swoop in post-crisis with the SDR basket system to replace the dollars world reserve structure. We then have immense global economic change triggered by nothing more than a 28-page document, but predicated on years of careful staging, planning and choreography. Once again, the globalists have conjured a theatrical circus which they may use to end the American economy as we know it. We will have to wait and see if the 9/11 documents are released, and if the Saudis follow through with their threats. But consider this; who really benefits in the end in the wake of these developments? Such a move would certainly only serve the interests of international elites in the long run.

Many professional pilots have said regular passenger jets could not have performed the required maneuvers at those speeds to be the actual things that struck those buildings. IMO they could have been highly modified military jets, similar to cruise missiles but with reinforced wings. And there is no proof whatsoever passenger jets struck the Pentagon or crashed in that PA field. If the whole truth actually comes out, more than the petrodollar will crash. You can bet on that. Hmmmthe elites went through a lot of work and a few wars to preserve the petrodollar. Seems strange to assert that its collapse was what the elite wanted all along. Heck, without the wars and threats of war the petrodollar wouldve collapse a long time ago, no? To use the U.S. as the military fist they needed the U.S. being a strong nation, economically. But this is just for a while until the U.S. has served its purpose. That does make sense. Ultimately, U.S. power as useful as an enforcer of the elite as it is now would become a hindrance to world government. Its kind of a withering away of the state deal in the Marxian universe, where the states supposed to fade after its served its purpose. Of course, that didnt quite go as Marx predicted ;-). and perhaps the US demise wont go quite as the globalists intend. Perhaps Trump might have something to say about that possibly delaying the process. Or not. We may see soon enough. London the world bank, DC the world cops, and the Vatican the world religion. That has been there plan since before I was even born. (Ike 1) I dont think the Vatican will be the world religion because Satan will be ruling from Jerusalem. Standing in the Temple of God, proclaiming himself God. Thats right, it will. It will keep the other 3 on a short leash. Actually the Bible says that there will be ten kings who will be given power for one hour with the beast, but they havent been given their kingdoms YET! I believe the US will end up being one of those kingdoms. The rest of the world will fall into line because of the power of these ten kingdoms and Satan will have his one world order. People seem to over-look the role of the catholic church lurking in the back ground. Even from the collapse of the roman empire it arose from the ashes Heres what I dont get: how can the IMF undermine the US when the US is the dominant force in the IMF, with nearly 3 times more voting power than the next nearest nations and 3 times the quote of SDRs than then next nation, more than the next 3 nations? The XDR (SDR) basket is 42% US dollars. How can the IMF, which is dominated by the US, be used to undermine the US? I think you are confusing the IMF with NATO. The IMF is all international bankers and our Federal Reserve is privately owned like the central banks all over the world. The IMF decides how all these central banks will operate and what currency they will use. They are the ones who are controlling the world and the US has NO say-so in what they do. Through money they are able to control the governments of these countries including ours. As long as the Federal Reserve exists and controls our money we are under the control of the international bankers. If you read a Bible it will tell you that Satan WILL get his one world government for three and a half years before Christ returns. The purpose of collapsing the economy will be to institute the mark of the beast from a worldwide financial collapse. They have been setting it up that no money will exchange hands but everything will be done by electronic transfer so that they can have control of most people on earth. Third world countries will not matter because the people there have nothing that they can use to fight back. You wont be able to do anything (buy or sell) without the mark of the beast. That is where all this has been leading since 1913. I ould wager I know more about the IMF and NATO than you, based on your misstatement that The IMF is all international bankers. It is a consortium of 189 nations which contribute money to form a kind of bank, which then makes loans. Independent banks do not belong, as it is an organization of nation states. The US dominates, 3 times more voting power than any other nation and 42% of the funds (XRS) are in dollars. The IMF does not determine how all central banks will act. It is a separate organization of nations acting as a global bank. NATO is the organization formed to counter the Soviet Union during the Cold War and now a larger organization of mutual defense, which has, in betrayal of agreements made in 1990, expanded into 11 former Warsaw Pact Nations. The US also is the largest funder and effectively controls NATO: he who pays the piper calls the tunes. You are clearly uninformed, and you do not understand my question. which challenges this statement in the article: Then the IMF can swoop in post-crisis with the SDR basket system to replace the dollars world reserve structure. Since the dominant force in the IMF is the US, with 3 times more votes than any other nation and with 42% of the SDR fund in dollars, how can the IMF, which is largely controlled by the US, be used to undermine the US and its currency? As for your religious nonsense, I am not in the least interested, as that is all a matter of belief and I am interested in reality;. How do you think the IMF institutes its monetary policies if not through the central banks within each country that are its members? From what Ive read there are already other currencies being used besides the US dollar for world trade. IF the US was controlling the IMF, why would they even allow that? The IMF sounds benevolent on the surface just like the Federal Reserve, but its policies have hurt countries its supposed to help. Maybe you should do some more research on the IMF. You may think its religious nonsense, but remember what I wrote when we go under a one world order. It will be very real to you then. The IMF uses central banks to execute its orders. The IMF exercises control only on those programs involving loans and conditions. In all other respects, central banks are independent. The U.S. government has by far the largest share of votes in both the IMF and World Bank and, along with its closest allies, effectively controls their operations.What the IMF and the World Bank do is lend money to governmentsAs to the source of their funds, the IMF gets most of its money as subscriptions from member governments-the amount determining the number of votes each government has in running the operation. thirdworldtraveler.com 42% of the money in the IMF SDRs is in Dollars. This gives the US control. There are other currencies but its hard to see how the IMF, which is basically under control of the US, would be used to undermine the US, as the article states. I am not supporting the IMF but seeking to explain how it works. It obviously works in the interests of those who control it, who are government officials, almost always coming out of the banking industry. I support a One World Order, since nationalism has led to over 100 million deaths by nations fighting under nationalistic principles in the past 100 years. I however do not support an elitist world order, controlled by the tiny elite which owns most of the worlds wealth. I support a democratic world order, of, for, and by the people. Our problems, from global warming to pollution to immigration to poverty transcend national boundaries (which frequently change) and can only be addressed on a global level. I do not support any institutions which are not run on democratic principles.. I would like to see the UN reformed so it is not controlled by a handful of powerful nations and has the worlds worst human rights abusers (like Saudi Arabia) on its Human Rights Commission. One World, on Love: democracy is the recognition that all people are equal in value and have an equal voice in how they are governed, with inviolable rights and accountablity. I would like to see the Big Banks broken up and municipal, state, and a national bank replacing them, so that they serve not private interests but the public. I agree with what you are saying, but my belief is that the only one world government that will work will be under Gods rule and not mans rule. Our Founders attempted to form such a government with the consent of the governed, but as you can see it has failed. A few have taken control over the many through years of lies and deceit. We have become the most regulated people in the world and we are controlled through money and fear of what the government can do to us. Its strange that you dont believe in any religion when the world you want is the same as the world that God has promised in the Bible when Jesus returns. Maybe someday you will be able to see how they are the same so keep your hope for a better world in the future. It WILL happen! Dont waste your time on Dale. He is payed to be on this site You are paid to libel other people who voice opinions you do not like but do not have the brains to refute with rational discourse. Here is Script #1 for paid trolls: call out others for being paid trolls. Misspell paid to look authentic. Who pays you, Brett? If you read Elite that controls the Matrix instead of IMF, then it would make more sense. The state is the instrument of the ruling class. I learned about elite control when I read Marx at age 19. Heres an interesting perspective: http://www.net4dem.org/cyrev/archive/issue7/articles/Hudis/hudis.pdf Marx in the Mirror of Globalization By Peter Hudis Britannica.com One interestingsome would say surprisingaspect of the ongoing discussions and debates about globalization is the renewed interest being shown in the ideas of Karl Marx, which only recently seemed to have been consigned to the dustbin of history. In the journalistic and academic worlds alike, a number of reappraisals of Marxs work are appearing that identify the 19th-century thinker as the prophet of globalization because of his focus on capitals inherent drive for self-expansion and technological innovation on the one hand and its tendency to exacerbate social inequality and instability on the other. Marx perfectly predicted the future of capitalism as it is unfolding today over 150 years ago. he was that far ahead of his time. The most advanced industrialized states, the most capitalistic, are the United States, Germany, and, ironically, China. The Revolution has to start in the richest, not the poorest, societies. And so the endgame of capitalism which Marx foresaw with such clarity, based on the most intense study of how capitalism developed and takes over the world..until, one day, people rise up from the bottom and take control. Will there be blood? When the moment is ripe, everything falls into place and fundamental change takes place in the blink of the eye, We are all in this boat together.why are we fighting each other? Marx was a banker puppet, and any insights he may have pretended to have were only dictations from the bankers who paid for his miserable, non-working existence. His entire ideology was nothing more than a marketing campaign to convince gullible idiots to allow central banker planning of a nations economy. In practice his ideas were no different than the gangster capitalism he pretended to be against. Where in communism the ruling elite is called the party, in capitalism it is called management. Same slave masters, different titles And the Communists did prove that system is not efficient enough. So the Ruling Masters aborted it in the Soviet Block. True, but if you go to foreign media you will find that China has thousands of civilian uprisings every year across their nation, and when the people rise up there they beat the living tar out of corrupt government officials. The little utopia the inbred western elites think they have in China will NOT play out in a way that is good for them You may turn out to be right on this, who knows ! You obviously have never read Marx. He was the greatest student of capitalism, including banking,and his vision of the future was of a society without classes, a state, or a central bank. You are parroting some far right website. I suggest you replace your ignorance with knowledge by reading Marx and learning about his life (he was very very poor) based on the facts. If you read my post, you will see that the nations that tried Communism were doomed to fail under Marxs understanding that communism could only be built on the ahievements and contradicitons of the most advanced capitalism. But my guess is yo are not interested in the real Marx because it doesnt fit into your narrative. The truth is that Marx was the first to understand the tranjectory of capitalism to a system of globalization and inequality, and communism in an advanced capitalist nation has never been tried. You are incapable of discerning propaganda and marketing from any kind of real academic analysis, then you have the balls to tell me that I never read Marx. Lovely. Ive read Marx and fortunately my background in marketing allowed me to see that his pabulum is 90% marketing to gullible, ignorant sheep and 10% whatever the bankers who paid his grocery bills told him to write. Next youll be telling me that Brawndo has electrolytes and its what plants want! Thats the level of credibility I give to ANYONE who promotes that banker aristocrat abortion of an ideology called communism Your accusation is wrong: I have a world class education with top rate critical thinking skills. You have never read Marx. I isay this because you have no understanding of his work and repeat right wing attacks, which are also based not on reading Marx but attacking distortions of his ideas. I dismiss your ignorance and yojr lies about having studied Marx. Your accusations of Marx are based on repeating propaganda,not knowledge of his real life. I dismiss you as a not serious person who doesnt know what he is talking about. My attacks on Marxs idiocy are not right wing, they are *critical thinking*, a quality you obviously lacked in your world class education. Im sorry, but taking correspondence courses from the Zimbabwe School of Central Banking doth not an education make. Marx never worked a day in his life, making him the ultimate example of the welfare mentality. He refused to even look after his own children, making modern crackhouse parenting look like Dr. Spock. These are all documented facts, which I know you are allergic to given your blind worship of the wafro-wearing banker puppet. Marxism is all about the centralization of money and power into the hands of a violently appointed aristocratic elite. Every single time miscreants tried applying that misguided ideology to the real world, it failed miserably like fiction ALWAYS does. The fact that you even consider communism a thing after the fall of the Soviet Union only proves your need for remedial education. I am done talking with you. You add nothing of value to the time I waste trying to reason with your idiocy. Good day You have not read Marx. Your criticism is 3d hand. Marx criticized the accumulation of wealth being based on exploiting labor, etc. To describe is not to endorse: his understanding and criticism of capitalism is powerful, but you have to actually study him. My critical thinking skills were honed and recognized at the top public and private universities in the world. You do not know what you are talking about so you resort to personal attacks. Marx spent his entire life as a writer, for books, and for journals and newspapers. For instance, he wrote for the New York Tribune for 9 years. Your ignorance, when combined with smugness, is ludicrous. didnt Marx let his children starve while he sucked off of his wealthy friends? hes a perfect role model for losers like you. Marxs family was very poor, as the income for radical writers was very lows. He frieind Engles was able to help him from time to time, as his father owned a factory. Marxx bacground prepared him personally to experience the hardships of the working class and thus understanding on an existential level. Marx was the greatest social scientists of the 19th Century, and many of his predictions are just nonw being understood. He knows exactly what he is doing, his job. There seem to be lots of these types (controlled opposition) that always touts the official story, but never accepts any information not given by the establishment. Marx was a loser who didnt want to work. I imagine youre sucking off of someone like he did, thats how you have the time to write your psychotic essays on internet forums all day. He isnt confused, but its his job to spread it and waste time. Troll alert. 1) The official story has been proven a cover up by all the facts and physics provided by credible experts. Good post. Yes, indeed. EVERY EMPIRE WILL EVENTUALLY FALL! FACT George Bush sequestered the Bin Laden family and relatives out of the USofA in a hush hush hurry hurry fashion. You dont even now his theory. His theory of capitalism (that it is driven to consolidate wealth by exploiting labor and constantly globalizes) has been proven correct by events, and his vision of the future has never been tried. Marx was the ultimate outsider, imprisoned, exiled, and living in poverty while he spent a decade to study the history of capitalism. You make up fictions about him (actually you borrow them from others) in order to justify not having to actually study him or deal with his actual theory. I have to dismiss your accusations as both unoriginal and unsupported. A better strategy would be to actually educate your self by reading Marx and learning about the Marxist tradition. You will probably reject that option, but I have no interest wasting time with people afraid to leave the safety of the brainwashed concept that Marx was wrong, Marx was a fraud, Marx was the Devil, etc, all the propaganda the schools and the right wing media have shoved down your throat. Please tell us what a great person you are, again. Egomaniac shill. I am a humble an harmless human being with a passionate love of the truth. Who pays you to libel others as paid shills? The eye Red Schield has gotten your brains scramble-egged, turbo washed and tumble dried. Capitalists do not fear having their property and wealth taken over by the workers. They welcome it. I attended the top public and top private universities in the world, studying political theory, and Marx was never taught. The conventional academic menu is neo-liberal economics. You clearly dont now what you are talking about: what universities did you attend and get indoctrinated in Marxism? Milton Friedman supported bloody dictators like Pinochet and Yeltsin, helping them destroy their economies. The Bush recession proved he was totally deluded that markets correct themselves, and his greatest student Alan Greenspan said: We were wrong. Bush himself said: We had to betray free market principles to save the free market. Monetarism is communism for the rich; austerity for everyone else. But this is not Marxs communism, which required the total defeat of the capitalist class and the seizing of the means of production and the instruments of power by the working class. There is a reason that Hitler, when he finally locked up the socialists and burned the works of Marx,, was supported by the leading corporations : they both had the same enemy.

The Russian leader is currently trying to take control of Ragga, which the terror group has taken over. The city is deemed the capital of ISIS in Syria, and is patrolled by nearly 5,000 jihadist members. Putin intends to mobilize 150,000 reservists that he conscripted into the military just this week. While were happy somebody is taking action, our lack of leadership here is more than embarrassing. America is supposed to be one of the most powerful nations in the worldwhere are we now? Oh, thats right, were at the hands of a leader who would rather play nice with terrorists than teach them a thing or two about justice.

1	Confirming that a majority of the country is ready for when the time comes, a study released Tuesday by researchers at Princeton University found that 81 percent of Americans know exactly which YouTube clip theyll post on social media upon Dustin Hoffmans death. Whether its a scene highlighting Hoffmans versatility as a comedic performer in Tootsie, or the iconic closing sequence of The Graduate, our study found that four of every five citizens are poised and ready to share a video honoring the two-time Academy Award winner at a moments notice, read the report in part, which noted that a significant portion of the populace already has plans to caption their links with either RIP or Well never have another one like him. And while we found that the remaining 19 percent of Americans do not have a specific clip in mind for Dustin Hoffmans passing, this is largely due to the fact that many of these individuals remain torn over which scene from Rain Man they would like to share, be it the famous Wapner scene, or the more touching kiss in the elevator, or another scene altogether. The study follows a similar report released earlier this year that found that a mere 21 percent of Americans have a clip in mind for the eventual passing of Judd Hirsch. 
3	Facebook Will Fight Fake News With Help From Fact Checkers Snopes and ABC NewsBy Joseph Jankowski Facebook is partnering with numerous media organizations, includingSnopes and ABC News, that make uppart of an international fact-checking network led by Poynter, a nonprofit school for journalismlocated in St. Petersburg, Florida, reports Business Insider. The social network will make it easier for its users to report what they deem as fake news and will launch this ability to a small percentage of its usersin the U.S. for testing. A Facebook representativetold Business Insider that the social network wouldalso use algorithms that detect whether a story that appears fake is going viral, to determine whetherit should label the story as fake andbury it in peoples feeds. We believe in giving people a voice and that we cannot become arbiters of truth ourselves, so were approaching this problem carefully, Facebook News Feed chief Adam Mosseri said in a blog post on Thursday. Weve focused our efforts on the worst of the worst, on the clear hoaxes spread by spammers for their own gain, and on engaging both our community and third-party organizations. Reporting a story believed to be false or from a fraudulent source willbe as easy as clicking the upper right hand corner of a post and selecting the Its a fake news story option. Once users label a news story as fake they will be able to mark the post as fake news, message their friend who posted the material, and let them know that they believe the information posted is not real, or blockthat friendaltogether. The stories deemed fake by Facebook users will then be sent over for review by thesignatories of Poynters International Fact Checking Code of Principlesthat have now partnered with the company. Well use the reports from our community, along with other signals, to send stories to these organizations, Adam Mosseri wrote on Thursday. If the fact checking organizations identify a story as fake, it will get flagged as disputed and there will be a link to the corresponding article explaining why. Stories that have been disputed mayalso appear lower in News Feed. It will still be possible to share these stories, but you will see a warning that the story has been disputed as you share, according to Mosseri. Facebook will also fight these fake news organizations from bringing in ad revenue by eliminating the ability to spoof domains, which will reduce the prevalence of sites that pretend to be real publications. The company will also analyzepublisher sites to detect where policy enforcement actions might be necessary. The fake news hysteria began promptlyafter Donald Trumps victory in the presidential election with some claiming that Google and Facebook were a large help in the spread of misinformation that influenced the outcome on Nov. 8. Theres a profound lack of empathy in asserting that the only reason why someone could have voted the way that they did is because they saw some fake news, Zuckerberg said last month when he was first pressed on the issue. At the time, Zuckerberg admitted that his team studied fake news and found it was a very small volume of the content on Facebook. Outlets like The Washington Post pointed to an instance where Googles algorithm allowed a false report of the election outcome to rise to the top of its search results as a reason why these tech companies need to take new measures to combat fake news. What then followed was a series of blacklists to circulate the mainstream media that included sources of alternative news who are usually critical of government and have large enough audiences to compete with the old traditional media on the Web. The first list came from a liberal female studies professornamed Melissa Zimdars and included conservative and libertarian websites like Infowars, Breitbart, selfnews Post and World Net Daily. The second list came to light when The Washington Post highlighted a hit list put together by an unknown organization that operates anonymously called PropOrNot (Propaganda or Not). PropOrNots list included many of the websites listed by Zimdars but went further to label them as routine peddlers of Russian propaganda. WaPo eventually came under enough pressure by the alternative media to retract their claims that the shadowy PropOrNot organization was a legitimate source to cite and issued an Editors Note saying they did not vouch for the validity of the hit list. WaPo Editors Note placed on article title Russian propaganda effort helped spread fake news during election, experts say With the fake news narrative targeting alternative news sites and the fact that some 62% of Americans now get their news from social media, some may look at this latest move by Facebook as a way to censor those organizations and outlets that do not toe the establishment line.

'He calls team meetings, but he's just doing them to make it seem like he's doing a good job managing. For Christ's sake, he starts Miguel Cairo at first base sometimes.

2	Heres The Real Reason Why Obama Is Going To Oregon, And It Has Nothing To Do WIth The Shooting Last week, the shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon shook the nation, when it took the lives of ten people. Within hours of the tragedy, Obama was leveraging the event to push his own political agenda. Today, Obama will be visiting the victims families in Roseburg. Of course, while he is in Oregon he will also be attending a series of Democratic fundraisers. The remainder of his trip includes a luncheon in Seattle, a Democratic National Committee fundraising even in San Francisco, and, of course, a series of extracurricular events in Los Angeles. These plans did not make it through the liberal media, of course. It does not require a significant change in his travel plans for him to travel to Oregon and spend some time with the families of those who were either injured or killed in the tragic shooting that occurred there last week, White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reports. What do you think? Is this absolutely sickening? 
3	Celebrity Gun Control PSA Coupled With Their Own Hollywood Gun Violenceselfnews Post Have you seen the recent Demand a Plan public service announcements with very familiar faces smugly demanding that we tell Congress come up with a plan in lieu of recent shooting tragedies like Sandy Hook? Even more smug is that the burden is on us to figure out . . . something . . . and demand Congress to do . . . something. Although vague, we know that the main point of the PSA is for strict gun control. Repeatedly, they say Enough. A YouTuber had enough of the 1% hypocrisy and has compiled all the PSA clips and matched them with each actors gratuitously violent portrayal of guns. The contrast is astonishing and could be darkly humorous, were it not for the serious nature of the shootings, the victims exploitation, and a demand for gun control by those who glorify graphic violence as entertainment while receiving a massive payday from that violence. Bloomberg is in high gear to revoke gun rights, playing up recent shootings and public fear. New York Times wrote,Even so, the mayor is looking to move fast, aware that public outrage can fade quickly. But will the public also find the following an outrage? Warning: Violence Language. A clean version appears here, but still contains violent images. The video includes a link to an extended version, also worth watching. Read other articles by selfnews Post Here 
3	Supreme Court Will Not Hear Case About Native American PrisonersBy Derrick Broze The Supreme Court will not hear an appeal of a lower courts decision to force Native American inmates to cut their hair while in Alabama prisons. Native inmates have argued that keeping their hair long is part of their spiritual traditions. Although many other prison systems allow inmates to follow the follow the grooming practices of their religion, the 11th U.S Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Alabamas system could make its own assessment on the benefits and risks. In August 2015, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Alabamas prison policy. The Associated Press reported: Inmates had told the court that their long hair has deep religious significance, and they wanted to keep their hair unshorn because of their beliefs. Their sacred and ancestral core religious traditions are at stake, the inmates attorney, Mark Sabel of Montgomery, previously told AP. The department had argued that long hair was a hygiene risk and could be used to conceal weapons and contraband. Unfortunately, denying the Native community the right to grow long hair is not a new tactic. This was one of the first actions taken across the country when Natives were being forcibly assimilated. Native children were taken from their families and forced into boarding schools, where they were given American names, forced to cut their hair short, and forbidden from speaking their own language (read more on the boarding schools here). The treatment varied from nation to nation and was worse for some communities than others, but without a doubt, the trend was towards mental, physical, and sexual abuse, as well as outright denial of connection to their own families and history as a powerful people. This action of cutting their hair was about breaking them down as a people and erasing the identities of the Native communities. In 1902, William Atkinson Jones, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, sent a letter to superintendents of all federal reservations and agencies ordering them to cut the hair of all Natives. Jones wrote that long hair was not in keeping with the advancement they [were] making, or [would] be expected to make in civilization. He went on to lament that Natives who returned to home on the reservation adopt[ed] all the old habits and customs which his education in our industrial schools has tried to eradicate. The letter, known as the haircut order, also suggested that the officials could withhold food to force compliance to the order. The saddest part of this story is that it involves two forms of oppression used by the State: a corrupt prison-industrial complex and suppression or outright destruction of the customs of the oppressed. The mistreatment of Native prisoners is also only one of many situations where indigenous populations are abused and/or neglected. selfnews Post recently reported on an action where 150 activists marched from Independence Bridge on the Texas-Mexico border to the front of the Dos Republicas coal mine to protest the theft and destruction of Native lands and sacred sites. The attacks on Native communities extend well beyond the borders of the United States. Despite the constant attacks on native traditions, lands, and life itself, many communities are actively resisting colonization. Whether its indigenous women in Argentina resisting fracking, or the Spara people willing to die to defend the Ecuadorian rainforest, native peoples are not going quietly. They are setting a powerful example for the rest of the world. They are showing us what communities may have to do when pushed to the breaking point. Only by educating ourselves on the crimes against all peoples can we form alliances of empowered individuals, leading empowered communities in an active resistance to the colonization of our minds and physical worlds. We can and must create a more free, just, and moral world. Derrick Broze is an investigative journalist and liberty activist.

This article may be freely reposted in part or in full with author attribution and source link. The most important fact here was not said : LONG HAIR = individual power ! Its about control and breaking the spirit. Doesnt the Supreme Court have other more impotent things to do? Bad enough we lock people in cages, let them at least have individuality. So basically if you dont belong to a death cult that burns people at the stake for offending the Pope or having the wrong religion, NO RELIGIOUS FREEDOM FOR YOU!!! What is the problem with letting the Native Indians grown their hair long? Dont they allow muslims to grown beards and wear turbans? How about the Sikh who cant cut their hair due to religious practices? Perhaps they want to keep the Native Americans in their place?

2	BREAKING: FBI Obtains Warrent For Access To EVERYTHING... Hillary Is F**KED Federal investigators looking into the Hillary Clinton email scandal have finally obtained the warrant they need to start reviewing emails found on a laptop used by Clinton aide Huma Abedin and her husband, Anthony Weiner. Last week, FBI Director James Comey told Congress that the agency was reopening the investigation against Clinton. In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation, Comey wrote in a letter released Friday afternoon. Investigators reportedly came across the emails while looking into the criminal case of former Rep. Anthony Weiner, who was caught sexting an underage girl in North Carolina. Weiner is married to but separated from Huma Abedin, one of Clintons most trusted aides and confidants. The Clinton email investigators presented a summary of the new information to Comey on Thursday. He ultimately agreed that the Clinton email team should seek a warrant to review the new emails. In his letter, Comey noted the review would be carried out to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation. We dont know the significance of this newly discovered collection of emails, he wrote to FBI personnel in an internal message later in the day. What do you think? Does Clinton need to be kept far away from the White House? 
2	BREAKING: NFL Gives Colin Kaepernick The Worst News Of His Life... Its Over This month, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick outraged patriots everywhere when he refused to stand for the national anthem. It took less than a day for fans to start burning his jersey. Still, Kaepernick tried to defend his actions as a protest against 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 later 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. Things didnt turn out as planned for Kaepernick, however. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has just come forward to break his silence about the scandal. Lets just say hes not standing behind the entitled football player. Well my personal thoughts areI support our players when they want to see change in society, and we dont live in a perfect society. We live in an imperfect society, Goodell told USA Today. On the other hand, we believe very strongly in patriotism in the NFL. I personally believe very strongly in that. I think its important to have respect for our country, for our flag, for the people who make our country better; for law enforcement, and for our military who are out fighting for our freedoms and our ideals. What do you think? Did Kaepernick made a big mistake with his half-hearted protest?

1	The new Sci-Fi Channel series Fallen Axis, which eerily depicts a world in which Germany actually lost the Second World War, premiered Tuesday evening to high ratings in an alternate universe to our own. The Aryan Broadcasting Company is the Sci-Fi Channel's parent network. The much-anticipated television event is said to be the most ambitious ever produced by the science-fiction-themed network, which is a subsidiary of the Aryan Broadcasting Company. According to the early response, audiences in the alternate realm have been riveted by the show's vision of an inverted existence wherein a defeated Germany has been completely neutered by the Allied powers. 'Imagine, if you will, a world in which Hitler's glorious master plan had instead ended in ignominious failure, and the Allies had somehow emerged the victors,' the show's creator, Leonhardt Riefenstahl, said during an appearance on Entertainment Heute Nacht. 'It would be as if everything we know to be truethe fall of Russia, the invasion and surrender of the American continents, Heinrich Braun-Hitler's consolidation of the various conquered states in 1973had never even happened.' Added Riefenstahl, 'I think viewers all across the great worldwide National Socialist Empire are going to be terrified by the upside-down world we've created.' Critics residing in the alternate realm have also responded positively to the show: Many praised its scarily realistic depiction of a postwar Russian-American union rising to economic dominance and superpower status with the help of gloating French and English allies. A father relaxes with wife and son after a long day of building panzerkampfwagens. 'Not only is Fallen Axis a chilling, what-if story of a world gone mad, it also asks a number of important questions about what Germany's victory meant, and why its sacred mission was so critical to the fatherland and all of humankind,' said Hans von Winterstein, TV critic for the Deutsche-American Zeitung. 'And Rolf Staal's performance as former cowboy actor Henry Fonda II, the monstrous American president who attempts to spread his country's insidious political and economic liberalism across the globe, will horrify even the most stoic among us.' Producers said depicting the fictional, non-German-controlled America cost upwards of 40 million reichsmarks per episode, with much of the budget going toward recreating the cities of Washington, D.C. and New York exactly as they would have appeared before the famous tide-turning Luftwaffe strike of 1951. In addition, test audiences reported being impressed by the show's painstaking portrayal of a topsy-turvy 2009 in which American big-band music plays on every radio, Mickey Mouse spouts pro-Semitic propaganda from every cinema screen, and dilution of the supreme race runs rampant. The show is considered by many to be another boon to the Sci-Fi Channel's fall schedule, which also includes Battlestar Gleichschaltung, a weekly drama about a starship crew that enforces the total coordination of intergalactic society and commerce, and the hit reality series Jew Hunters, in which a team of paranormal investigators scour banks and former Polish ghettos in search of Jewish spirits. No less an authority than the National Socialist Empire's reichsminister of propaganda Helmut Goebbels expressed his admiration for Fallen Axis in a formal address yesterday from the Reichstag. 'The Fhrer and myself are enormously pleased with this provocative new program,' Goebbels said. 'It shows you how close Germany might have been to losing the war had Nazi scientists not perfected the vortex gun just in time, and it is a reaffirmation of the values of self-sacrifice and racial purity that Germany's magnificent victory championed.' Added Goebbels, 'However, I must strongly warn the show's creators that it would be extremely unwise of them not to include a five-minute tribute to the Fhrer at the beginning of all future episodes.' 
1	Addressing the controversy surrounding his states recently signed Religious Freedom Restoration Act, Indiana governor Mike Pence forcefully insisted to reporters Monday that the new law has nothing at all to do with what it was explicitly intended to do. Let me state directly that in no way is this law designed to allow the kind of anti-gay discrimination that is the laws single reason for existing, said Pence, emphasizing that provisions authorizing businesses to refuse service to gay customers were nothing more than the only explanation for the law being drafted in the first place. Regardless of the widespread misconceptions surrounding it, I want to reassure Hoosiers of all backgrounds that this law will never be interpreted in the way it was unambiguously designed to be from the very beginning. Pence further clarified that the acts sole purpose was in fact to safeguard the free exercise of religion it was in no way whatsoever created to protect. 
2	Ferguson Rioters Drag Woman Out Of Her Car And Beat Her To Death [VIDEO] According to recent reports, St. Louis police are in the process of investigating a potential hate crime, in which a 26-year-old white woman was dragged from her car and violently beaten by three black men. The Bosnian woman was reportedly driving down a deserted street at approximately 5:30 AM when three men in their late teens and early twenties stepped in front of her vehicle, stopping her from passing. When she attempted to drive around the group of thugs, they pulled out a gun. The men then proceeded to break her windshield with a crowbar, drag the woman from her car and push her to the ground. Ultimately, she was beaten and kicked while the group went through her purse. The men fled the scene empty handed. I would have to say so, said Michael Tallie, a local resident who was asked whether he believed the attack was racially motivated. I think its just blacks taking their aggression out on anybody thats white. Its bad, its messed up, I hate it. Everyone should be scared. What do you think of the incident? Was it a hate crime? 
2	Obama Looks At 10 Year Prison Sentence After New Evidence Surfaces He Has To Say His Goodbyes According to supports, Fox New Channels Judge Andrew Napolitano recently accused that President Barack Obamas release of five senior Taliban members from Guantanamo Bay last summer was treasonous. In fact, Napolitano steadfastly believes that Obama aided and abetted a known terrorist organization by providing them with material support and releasing the terrorists. This was done in conjunction with the release of Bowe Bergdahl, a U.S. soldier who was later determined to be a deserter. Now, the administration continues to sit on the final verdict of the investigation. Still, its widely believed that Obamas actions encouraged terrorist organizations to hold more American prisoners. Fact: Federal statute makes it a crime, punishable by ten years in jail up to life in prison, for materially aiding a terrorist organization, Napolitano told viewers. If Napolitanos claims were told hold in a court of law, Obama would lose his office and title, and could serve up to 10 years of jail timethat is, if he didnt receive a full life sentence. 
1	More than a week after President Barack Obama's cold-blooded killing of a local couple, members of the American news media admitted Tuesday that they were still trying to find the best angle for covering the gruesome crime. 'I know there's a story in there somewhere,' said Newsweek editor Jon Meacham, referring to Obama's home invasion and execution-style slaying of Jeff and Sue Finowicz on Apr. 8. 'Right now though, it's probably best to just sit back and wait for more information to come in. After all, the only thing we know for sure is that our president senselessly murdered two unsuspecting Americans without emotion or hesitation.' Added Meacham, 'It's not so cut and dried.' Associated Press reporters investigate any possible gym training regimens the president might have used to get into peak physical condition for the murders. Since the killings took place, reporters across the country have struggled to come up with an appropriate take on the ruthless crime, with some wondering whether it warrants front-page coverage, and others questioning its relevance in a fast-changing media landscape. 'What exactly is the news hook here?' asked Rick Kaplan, executive producer of the CBS Evening News. 'Is this an upbeat human-interest story about a 'day in the life' of a bloodthirsty president who likes to kill people? Or is it more of an examination of how Obama's unusual upbringing in Hawaii helped to shape the way he would one day viciously butcher two helpless citizens in their own home?' 'Or maybe the story is just that murder is cool now,' Kaplan continued. 'I don't know. There are a million different angles on this one.' So far, the president's double-homicide has not been covered by any major news outlets. The only two mentions of the heinous tragedy have been a 100-word blurb on the Associated Press wire and an obituary on page E7 of this week's edition of the Lake County Examiner. While Obama has expressed no remorse for the grisly murderspoint-blank shootings with an unregistered .38-caliber revolvermany journalists said it would be irresponsible for the press to sensationalize the story. 'There's been some debate around the office about whether we should report on this at all,' Washington Post senior reporter Bill Tracy said while on assignment at a local dog show. 'It's enough of a tragedy without the press jumping in and pointing fingers or, worse, exploiting the violence. Plus, we need to be sensitive to the victims' families at this time. Their loved ones were brutally, brutally murdered, after all.' Nevertheless, a small contingent of independent journalists has begun to express its disapproval and growing shock over the president's actions. 'I hate to rain on everyone's parade, but we are in the midst of an economic crisis here,' political pundit Marcus Reid said. 'Why was our president ritualistically dismembering the corpses of his prey when he should have been working on a new tax proposal for small businesses? I, for one, am outraged.' The New York Times newsroom is reportedly still undecided on whether or not to print a recent letter received from Obama, in which the president threatens to kill another helpless citizen every Tuesday and 'fill [his] heavenly palace with slaves for the afterlife' unless the police 'stop the darkness from screaming.' 'President Obama's letter presents us with a classic journalistic quandary,' executive editor Bill Keller said. 'If we print it, then we're giving him control over the kinds of stories we choose to run. It would be an acknowledgment that we somehow give the nation's commander in chief special treatment.' Added Keller, 'And that's just not how the press in this country works.' 
2	Matt Walsh: Bruce Jenner Is Not A Woman, He Is A Sick And Delusional Man According to recent reports, The Blazes Matt Walsh just wrote a very harsh message to Bruce Jenner after he revealed that he intends to have a sex change in his interview with Diane Sawyer. During the interview, Bruce revealed that he views the surgical procedure as the next logical step in his journey, so that he can live out the rest of his life as a woman. Shockingly, many Americans have embraced this change and painted Jenner as an American hero. Matt Walsh has a very different opinion, as revealed in his statement below: Its worth noting, too, that it doesnt generally require courage or bravery or strength to do something that is sure to result in television deals and roaring applause from a sea of adoring fans. Usually, courage is not defined as the willingness to endure immense popularity, esteem, fame, and profit. I think the better word would be horrifying. And sad. And depressing. And despicable. Kids are learning in school that boys can have girl brains and girls can have boy brains. Worst of all, children are now being labeled transgendered and traipsed around as props by gay activists if they decide to identify as the opposite gender when theyre still in pull ups. Evidently, when a 2-year-old boy says hes a girl, we ought to take the pronouncement quite seriously. 
1	At a hastily assembled press conference Tuesday, presidential candidate Mitt Romney reached out to the nation's Hispanics, asking if they would please return the watch he had left on his dresser earlier. 'As I stand before you today, I wish to issue an appeal to my Hispanic friends all across this great land of ours: Please do the right thing and give me back my property,' said Romney, adding that while he didn't want to accuse the nation's 21.7 million registered Hispanic voters of stealing the watch, he was certain that no one in his family stole it, and that watches don't just walk off by themselves. 'I pledge to every single Hispanic-Americanwhether you came here from Mexico to start a new life for your family or fled the brutality of Castro's Cubathat if my watch is put back in its rightful place in the next two hours, I will consider the matter closed and no one will be the wiser.' With the watch still not returned at press time, Romney begged the nation's Hispanics, 'Please don't make me call thehow do you say it? El polico? La polica? The appropriate authorities.' 
2	School In Connecticut Forces Islamic Holidays On Students According to recent reports, the Waterbury School District in Connecticut has the intention to honor two Muslim holidays this year: Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha. The district has decided not to schedule any exams or events while the Islamic holidays take place. More than 300 people reportedly signed a petition in favor or the change, and the final decision was made on Thursday night. Growing up in Waterbury myself and going to school here, I missed a trip because of the holiday, claimed local resident Fahd Syed. I had to choose my faith and I didnt go to the trip. Syed has four children currently in school. The two holidays call for families and communities to come together to fast. We were approached about this, and we thought about it, and honored it, Charles Sango, President of the Board of Education told reporters. A sensitivity memo will go out to the district to teachers and staff, asking them to be sensitive to the Muslim holidays in regards to scheduling assessments and major events that happen through the district, Superintendent Dr. Cathleen Ouellete concluded in a statement. What do you think of the new policy? 
3	Russell Brand Talks Drug Policy in ParliamentPhillip Smith Brand, 36, who recently divorced singer Katy Perry, wore a black hat, gold chains and crosses and a torn black vest top for his appearance before the committee. He called MPs mate and addressed them by their first names during a lively half-hour long hearing. Brand was asked about drug legalization, but demurred, saying he didnt think he was particularly qualified to make that judgment. He added, however, that, Im not saying we should have a wacky free-for-all where everyone takes drugs, it didnt do me any good. The flamboyant entertainer appeared before the Home Affairs Committee, which is reviewing British drug policy. The Tuesday hearing was the fourth in what the committee is calling a comprehensive review of the drug laws. The committee also heard from opponents of relaxing the drug laws, including columnist Peter Hitchens and campaigner Mary Brett of Cannabis Skunk Sense, an all-volunteer group whose mission is to raise awareness of the continuing and growing threat to children, teenagers and their families, posed by cannabis use. Brand, who has had a more than decade-long career as a comic in Britain, exploded on the US scene with his portrayal of heedless rock star Aldous Snow in 2008s Forgetting Sarah Marshall, a role he reprised and expanded on as the falling-off-the wagon rocker in Get Him to the Greek in 2010. Brand also played the role of the alcohol-besotted title character in last years Arthur, a remake of the Dudley Moore classic. The legal status of drugs didnt matter much to addicts, Brand said. Im not a legal expert. Im saying that, to a drug addict, the legal aspect is irrelevant, he said. If you need to get drugs, you will. The criminal and legal status, I think, sends the wrong message. Being arrested isnt a lesson, its just an administrative blip, he added. For me what is more significant is the way we socially regard the condition of addiction, Brand said. It is something I consider to be an illness, and therefore more of health matter than a criminal or judicial matter. It is more important that we regard people suffering from addiction with compassion and there is a pragmatic rather than a symbolic approach to treating it. Brand pointed to the experience of Portugal, which decriminalized drug possession in 2001, saying decriminalization could be useful and efficient. Instead of using the carrot and stick, Brand said, drug addiction should be approached with love and compassion. The committee will conduct further hearings before issuing a report.

1	Hawks forward Josh Smith regaled his teammates Wednesday with a story about how he once watched a red-tailed hawk swoop down, grab a loose basketball in its razor sharp talons, and fly away. 'It was crazy, because the ball was rolling across the court really fast, and then I heard this loud screeching sound and all of a sudden this hawk dives down and snatches it up before it goes out of bounds,' said Smith, adding that hawks build nests in the rafters of every NBA arena. 'And then it flew off to the upper deck, where it landed by some empty seats and started tearing apart the basketball with its beak.' Smith told his teammates that if they look closely at the court after each NBA game, they should be able to see hawk droppings containing undigested pieces of basketball.

2	BREAKING: Fox Accidentally Leaks Trumps 2016 VP Pick... Fans Stunned Theres less than a month until the Republican National Convention, and new reports are coming in that Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions is Donald Trumps top choice for a running mate. The square Sessions seems to fit many square holes for Trump: hes conservative and nails down the partys right flank, he endorsed Trump early and has been extremely loyal, he has Washington legislative experiencea key requirementand importantly, he can be totally trusted never to criticize Trump no matter what he might say in the coming months, Newsmaxs Joseph Gizzi wrote, according to Western Journalism. The selection will reassure conservatives, G. Terry Madonna, a Franklin Marshall college professor commented. Sessions is one of the more conservative senatorsthat should be reassuring to economic conservatives and the religious right. Session has a score of 80 percent on the Heritage Action scorecard, far above the Republican average of 58 percent. He also has a 94 percent score in the lifetime rating for the American Conservative Unions (the sponsor of CPAC). Trump is also rumored to be considering former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. What do you think? Would you support Sessions as Vice President? 
2	Celine Dion Makes SHOCKING Change That Left Even Her Family Members SPEECHLESS It has been forty days since Celine Dions love of her life passed away. She has been mourning every day since then and is letting everyone know how she will continue to show her respects. Celine was madly in love with Rene Angelil. He was a devoted husband and manager. Rene only looked after Celines best interests and never was unfaithful. The couple was Canadas poster couple. When the nation found out about his death, they all mourned. Thousands paid their respects at the funeral. Celine paid hers buy allowing everyone to shake her hand or kiss her cheek. Rene passed after a long battle with cancer. They had been married for over 21 years and had shared many memories together. There have been rumors that Celine was moving on from Renes death. I dont believe that is possible. The two were inseparable till the very end. One can never truly move on after losing a piece of themselves. Rene will live on through Celine and her actions. She is honoring Rene in the most amazing way possible. Her music will forever be dedicated to her late husband. From now until her hiatus, Celine will perform a 10-minute tribute to Rene. She will begin every show at Caesars Coliseum with this tribute. It is touching to hear how much Celine cared for Rene. Celine was an amazing wife and she continues to be even as a widow. I can only imagine what Celine is feeling right now! She is a beacon of strength and everyone can learn from her. Her entire show in Las Vegas is changing all for Rene. Everyone closest to her is speechless from how amazing Celine is. She is/was the perfect wife. The fans have had only positive reviews of her latest change. Her music will continue to bring joy to thousands. Will you send your prayers to Celine? 
3	Feel the Bern? Theres a Cure.By Julie Borowski I agree with most of this. A couple points of clarification though. Yes, the top 1% pays 35% of taxes, that may be true, but so what? You need to speak in terms of percentage of income. Currently, the richest 1% hold about 38% of all privately held wealth in the United States (Hurst, Charles E. (2007), Social Inequality: Forms, Causes, and Consequences, Pearson Education, Inc., p. 31, ISBN 0-205-69829-8). If they only pay 35% of the tax, this is not equitable. Moreover, for people in lower socioeconomic brackets, tax is more of a burden on quality of life than for the rich. For instance, while the rich may have to make do with 1 less luxury vacation, the poor may have do make do without proper healthcare or nutritious food. Also, check your understanding of the difference between a right and a freedom. Freedom of speech is a freedom, not a right. By definition, a right is something you demand from others. Freedoms are inalienable, they are not granted by governments or anyone else, and you do not ask anything of anyone else in order to exercise them (you only demand to be left free to exercise them). When people speak of a right to health care, they mean that basic healthcare is something they feel all citizens should be provided with (by society as a whole) regardless of whether the citizen can afford it or not. They do not mean it is a freedom in the same sense of freedom of speech. That is an absurd equivocation based on your misunderstanding of the distinction. You are way mixed up on rights and freedom. Hobbes, long ago, explained that in a state of nature we all have natural liberty, including the freedom to murder, rape, etc. His argument was that by giving up our natural liberty (is murder an inalienable right?), in a social contract, we exchange it for the right to be protected from murder and other expressions of natural liberty. Tho he was defending an absolute monarchy, he sowed the seeds of democratic rights by basing the social contract on the peoples consent. Natural liberty is clearly not inalienable. Rights are codified freedoms: the freedom of speech is a right to exercise a freedom. There is no right to murder, which is also a freedom. I define freedom as the ability to do something without attaching any moral aspect to it. You have the ability to help old ladies or to murder them. I define liberty as freedoms protected by rights, which are protected or should be for giving up our natural liberty to do whatever we want. When Jefferson said we have the right to live and liberty, he was saying we SHOULD have these. People have the right to revolt when they are not provided. The right of revolution goes back to Hobbes ambiguous defense of absolute authority, when he argues it is based on consent. When consent is withdrawn, the right of revolt is invoked. Consent implies the social contract by which we give up our natural liberty for protected rights or liberties. If the state cannot protect us from the evils of natural liberty (murder, rape, etc) and protect our civil rights, we have the fundamental right to throw the bums out and create a new government. Freedom of speech, religion, assembly, etc are all rightsie, liberties we demand be protected by the state or community in exchange for surrendering our natural liberty. This is the liberal concept of rights and liberty as first articulated by a man defending absolute authority but which he was unable to do (since its justification was protection) without the subversive democratic concept of consent. The right of the People as a society to accept or reject a government is the foundation of our democratic rights which are the guarantee of our civil liberty. This was the justification of the American Revolution, which we have yet to complete. Thats how I see it after a long life of studying political philosophy. Do not concede a single point to this stupid girl that portrays the 99% as schisophrenics while the only schisophrenic is her. Not even the 1%. She is delusional and cannot understand the world in which we live, so she offers no alternative to collage education debt, to health care, to anything, not even explaining corporativism when it is as simple as welfare for the corporations, less taxes for them and its owners, and the lack of social responsibility across the board, for the utopic state where every one has to be fending for him/herself. She probably went to a college where she leaned to parrot Freeman from one of his followers and never heard of Karl Marx and Galbraith. Freedom of speech is in the Bill of Rights thats why freedom of speech is called a right. The Bill of Rights outlines what our rights are and is why its called the Bill of RIGHTS, because they are rights, not freedoms. whats the dif between corporatism and capitalism? not that im feeling the bern, but raw capitalism sucks. It leads to GovCorp. Socialism is the natural state of affairs in tribal societies. Dont be afraid of itits the only way to battle elitism. As long as personal liberties are maintained. Hard to say how that is accomplished without trial and error? It is of course very telling that the Bern has not proposed a tax on wall st. like Webster Tarpley or Ralph Nader. If he did they wouldnt lt him in the debates. The bern is unavoidable the gold collar criminals have usurped nearly all governments throughout the world. taxes and usury are tools of choice which keeps the masses from having anything agenda 2030 is progressing. This is the most stupid right wing propaganda I ever have seen, full of inaccuracies. This is capitalism, not Adam Smith capitalism but capitalism of the Centyry XXI, the capitalism of the financing, which probably you have not heard yet (see Monthly Review, which 10 years ago advance the concept of economy stagnation). It is stupid to say that corporations lobby for regulations. When regulations are imminent, corporations lobby to make them ineffective but their philosophy is auto regulation or no regulation at all. This girl does not feel the Bern because the poor thinker thinks that she is a physician and is bringing the cure to the Burn when what is needed is the cure to the malaides of our society, what we who feel the Bern try to achieve. According to her, there are no societal evils and thing should be business as usual. Hers is a great post fro New Max or any other extreme right win outlet. I dont consider the Democrats or Republicans as true political parties. They are gangs who use political power for what benefits them and their friends. Their only strategy is to win elections and keep the power. They are no parties. They are the one party of the superrich. Why do so many people associate Free Market Capitalism with a Corporatocracy? When government and private interests are not separated And we aint shareholders or Stakeholders. I thought this piece was great. What she said about education is all wrong. Education is not consumed like food or fuel. It is intellectual property that exists indefinitely. Free education just means transferring costs from whats already being spent to the new system. Why should a professor be paid to tell me to go home and read 3 chapters of a textbook that cost $200, and repeat the process every semester? Also, the $200 textbook isnt any better than the one from 10 years ago that isnt allowed to be used anymore, so they can sell the $200 textbook. I even had a class where the required lab book was authored by the instructor. US education is a ripoff. The money needed for free or near-free education is already being spent, we just arent getting our moneys worth. Your best resource is people, Whats wrong with keeping people healthy out of taxes ? Another Either/Or, Black or White, Capitalism or Socialism melange of nonsense, scewed towards an ever changing Right Wing or Left Wing, Patriotic or Terrorist groupthink found only in the USA. Because the American has been Dumbed Down by a corrupted schooling system, fed Diploma Mill Facts to spew out for the rest of their lives, and stand ready and well prepared for a mid 20th Century oil based lifestyle even in this 21st century, articles like this, video vignettes of total propagandized, twisted logic, even nonsense premise, base axioms set in utter folly go unchallenged while blood pressure predictably rises over pre formulated triggers? This is in fact how ISIS can cause committing of horrendous crimes even through internet videos that are seemingly harmless in content? This article carefully skirts around the style of democracy and capitalism practised in Russia, ignores by omission the Communist Chinese successes with Capitalism/Communism and never dares to mention the Islamic (Huge part of the world population) solutions to these concerns? Such a blinkered, narrow-minded, Americana version of reality!

3	Mark Baker Asks Americans for HelpBrad Jordan Michigan levies $700,000 in fines against a small farmer and veteran for raising healthy hogs After serving his country for 20 years in the military and ten years as a farmer, Mark Baker is at the end of his rope and is asking Americans for help. Bakers Green Acres is an idyllic, bio-diverse, sustainable farm in Marion, Michigan. Baker, his wife and his six children raise pastured poultry, grass-fed beef, goats and dairy, and a heritage breed of hogs called Mangalitsa. In December of 2011, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources informed Baker that his hogs were an invasive species of wild boar that needed to be exterminated in order to protect wildlife and other farms. The agency said he had until April of 2012 to destroy all of his pigs or else it would destroy them for him. Baker refused and filed a lawsuit asking for relief. He was hoping to get his case heard that spring, but the state attorney general who is acting as a prosecutor on DNRs behalf has been successful in stalling the trial until late this summer. Fortunately the agency did not follow through on its promise to shoot Bakers pigs. Unfortunately, it decided to levy $700,000 in fines against him last week for harboring them on his property. Thats $10,000 per hog or per violation of the states Invasive Species Order. As of Food Riot Radios interview with him last week, Baker had 67 hogs. The state was unaware when it issued the fine that he recently put down four hogs because he couldnt afford to feed them. When the state tried to get Bakers trial pushed back to 2014, Baker wrote a letter to the judge saying hed be out of business and homeless by then. His current trial date of August 27 has been a stretch for him. Hes been feeding the hogs, without being allowed to sell their meat, for a year and a half now, which he says is extremely difficult because these pigs eat a lot everyday. Normally at this time of year hed be breeding the pigs in order to have more to sell, but he cant now, because it would just make more mouths to feed. Add $140,000 spent in legal fees so far to his lack of pork sales, and Baker says his family is on a very tight ship right now. My boys are butchering pigs today so we can get them in the freezer, and so theyre not out on the field, where theyve got to have food, Baker said. The nature of pigs is if they see green grass on the other side of fence and they have nothing to eat on their side of the fence, theyre going to figure out a way to get through. We cant allow a bunch of pigs to get out and get in our garden because thats our food. Bakers resorted to scrounging scrap food for them at local restaurants, but says theyre not getting what they need nutritionally. Im not being fair to the animals he paused, voice cracking, but I didnt think it would take this long. Had Baker known hed have to wait a year and a half for a court hearing, he mightve just killed the hogs in the beginning. But what Im up against now is, if I kill all these pigs, number one, Im doing what they wanted me to do, and number two, Id lose my standing in court because I dont have the animals. Why the states stalling Baker believes the reason the state has tried so hard to stall his hearing is because it doesnt have a good defense for what its doing to him. Baker argues that DNR wrote an intentionally ambiguous description of feral pigs in its Invasive Species Order, so it could use the law against any hog farmer it wanted to shut down. Theyre saying any pig with a curly tail or a straight tail is an illegal pig any pig with floppy ears or erect ears is an illegal pig, he said. I think theyre going to have a rough time with that testimony in court. Thats why they dont want the case to move forward. They want to starve us out. Basically theyre saying any type of pig outside of these confinement-style operations is illegal to have, added Radio Host Brad the Butcher Jordan. If you have a pig outside, you cant have it. Exactly, Baker said. Baker seeks to prove in court that it is Big Ag especially the Michigan Pork Producers Association that initiated the law classifying all non-CAFO pigs as a feral invasive species. He believes big agribusiness sees the growing popularity of heritage-breed meat and poultry as a threat to their factory-farming model, and will stop at no end to eliminate the competition. If they can issue a declaratory ruling that says anything with a straight tail or curly tail is an illegal pig, and neither the governor, the legislature or the courts say hey wait a minute, then whats to stop them from issuing a declaratory ruling that says any cow that is brown is feral and must be disposed of, or any chicken that is not raised in a hen house is a feral chicken? Industrial agriculture wants all the market share, he added. They want all the small farmers off the land, and they want to own the entire food production model. Baker asks for ammunition Theyre putting me out on the street and theyre not blinking an eye about it, Baker said. I need American people to get fired up about this. And I need wealthy Americans to come alongside us and join our legal team, so we can start going after them [DNR officials] individually and putting them out on the street. Baker said there is much more at stake than his farm. Our little pig thing is a microcosm of whats going on nationally. If we let Big Ag win, he said, it will be a grim future for our children and grandchildren. Were all in this together. There are plenty of us [farmers] that are fighters, perpetual warriors, but we dont have ammunition to put this fight on. So were looking to other Americans and saying please give us some ammunition, and thats money, U.S. dollars. You can pray for me and pat me on the back and thats great, but if I cant pay lawyers to do their job, it doesnt happen. And Im at the end of my rope right now, and I need help. There it is I need help.

2	Cross Dressing Boy Entered Girls Locker Room And Did The Unthinkable... School In Outrage This isnt a matter of politics; this is a matter of safety. According to recent reports, a school district in the suburbs of Chicago just voted to allow a male high school student who is transgender to use the girls locker room and shower. The Daily Caller reporters that the decision will allow the district to install curtains for biological girls who want privacy, but the male student will have access to the female bathroom and changing facilities at all district-sponsored activities, including off-campus activities where the curtains may not be a possibility. Of course, liberal extremists support the decision. I commend the Board of Education of Township High School District 211 for taking steps necessary to protect civil rights as well as student privacy, Catherine E. Lhamon, assistant secretary for civil rights told reporters. We are grateful that the board and superintendent chose to come into full compliance with our nations civil rights laws. As to be expected, parents within the district are furious. Many of them showed up at a district meeting with signs protesting the decision. Im not intolerant, and Im not a bigot, Jeff Miller, parent of a daughter who attends the school, said at the meeting. People have the right in this country to live their lives the way they see fit, and I respect that. When it starts infringing on other peoples rights, thats when it becomes a problem. What do you think? Is this decision just plain wrong? What would you do if you were a parent at this school? 
1	In his first statement after receiving a 65-game suspension from baseball, Brewers slugger Ryan Braun called on fans Tuesday to remember that every single word that he or any other baseball player accused of using steroids has ever said publicly is a lie. Please be aware that nothing we ever say is true, and when I said that I would bet my life I didnt take steroids, you should have stopped right there and assumed that I took them, said the former NL MVP, who went on to ask fans whether they really believed that someone who narrowly avoided a 50-game ban for elevated testosterone levels on a technicality could be wrongfully incriminated a second time in two years. If faced with either telling the truth and losing millions of dollars or lying and keeping our millions of dollars, were going to choose to betray the confidence and trust of everyone around us. Even when we make a confession, the truth is that we did so in a strategic attempt to prevent you from digging any deeper and discovering the really despicable stuff we did. Braun concluded his remarks by asking why reporters bothered to write down a single word from his speech since the entire thing was, in all likelihood, also one giant lie.

This little girl got the best Christmas present she could ask for, and it wasnt something you can get in a store. On Christmas morning of 2010, little Annie ran all the way across the family farm to the horse stable. She hoped that the horses had gotten presents too. She had been praying that they would. What greeted her was her father with a camcorder, videotaping Annies delight as she saw the big red bow over lots of presents. However, she soon sees that the presents arent for the horsestheyre for her! Those might be mine, she realizes. As it turned out, Mom and Dad had decided to trick little Annie into thinking the gifts were for the horses, when they were really for her. She reads Santas note aloud: I hope you like all of your presents, but this one is the most special present of all And out comes a little pony named Snowflake Clipper! Annie and Snowflake were fast friends, as the video below shows. What a beautiful beginning to a friendship! Please share with friends and family!

King said that civil libertarians can cry all they want. The fact is thats where the threat is coming from. And we can say that 98, 99% of Muslims in this country are good people Im actually swearing-in the first elected Muslim on Long Island to office, shes a good friend of mine so this is nothing against Muslims. But the fact is that where the threat is coming from and were kidding ourselves we have this blind political correctness, it makes no sense. Fox News He then nailed Obama for his ineffective strategy in stopping ISIS. After 15, 16 months of air attacks by the U.S., its really had minimal impact on ISIS. King also criticized the new body scan equipment used at airports, which he claims in ineffective at preventing terrorist attacks. Do you think all mosques should be monitored for our citizens safety? 
2	ANDREA TANTAROS Fearlessly Reveals Truth Of Orlando Massacre, Is Obama to Blame? Andrea Tantaros, the beloved Fox News Conservative political analyst had some things to say about the Orlando Terrorist Shooting. She is VERY spot on! One thing people were wondering about the massacre, is how the shooter, Omar Mateen legally obtained his gun despite FBIs prior investigations on him. Obamas FBI Director, James Comey, who appears to be pretty incompetent had this to say. Our work is very challenging. We are looking for needles in a nationwide haystack. But were also called upon to figure out which pieces of hay might someday become needles. Andrea Tantaros took extreme issue with this statement, and wrote her opinions on Twitter. He was under surveillance interviewed by the FBI 3 TIMES. Thats not a needle, thats a ticking Islamist time bomb. tweeted Andrea. She is spot on in this. We want everyone to be able to get a gun to protect themselves, but Omar was investigated by the FBI three different times. Somehow they were too incompetent to realize that this guy is a problem. It is a shame that the FBI could be so incompetent and a shame that Obama would allow this to happen.

3	Scientists Developing New Autism Vaccine Ignoring Likely Cause, Pushing Pharmas AgendaChristina England (SSPE or subacute sclerosing panencephalitis is a degenerative neurological condition which affects a persons behavior, memory and coordination, leading to fits, blindness and eventually death.) For years, doctors have been bombarding the systems of autistic children with antibiotics to control the bacteria, clostridium bolteae, reported to be found in abundance in the guts of autistic children. This bacteria causes these children to suffer from constipation, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal related problems. Just Another Vaccine? A paper written by Brittany Pequegnat, et al, states: Individuals with autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs) are likely to experience chronic gastrointestinal (GI) irritations, such as constipation and diarrhea. GI disorders have a demonstrably high correlation with ASD and current literature suggests that it occurs with rates as high as 91.4% of patients. Of the ASD patients affected, 75.6% suffer from diarrhea. Diarrheal irritations can be extremely uncomfortable for a child and have been noted to have a loose association with regressive autism. [2] In a small proof-of-principle intervention trial, vancomycin was orally administered to severely autistic children with chronic, persistent diarrhea, and short-term improvement of symptoms was seen in 8 out of 10 children. However, these improvements were not persistent, and once vancomycin was withdrawn, any behavioral gains in these children were lost; in turn suggesting that microbial dysbiosis was suppressed but not eliminated. In other words, instead of studying existing papers and eliminating what is believed to be a possible cause of autism, scientists have developed yet another useless vaccine. Surely, it would have been more beneficial for scientists to research what is actually causing autistic children to have the overabundance of clostridium bolteae in their gut, rather than develop yet another vaccine, which by their own admittance does not work? A Severely Flawed Study Many parents believe that there are already too many vaccines, putting young children at the potential risk of autism and associated disorders. In a desperate bid to prove them wrong and to carry on the vaccination drive, researchers Dr. Frank DeStefano and his colleagues from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) and Abt Associates published a fascinating paper in the Journal of Pediatrics in March of this year. Their paper discussed whether or not a high number of vaccines administered at an early age caused autism. The researchers studied data from 256 children with autism and compared it to the data from 752 children without autism (born from 1994 1999). All of the children studied came from three managed care facilities. The authors looked at each childs cumulative exposure to antigens, the substances in vaccines that cause the bodys immune system to produce antibodies to fight disease, and the maximum number of antigens each child received in a single day of vaccination. The paper states that researchers determined the total antigen numbers by adding the number of different antigens in all vaccines each child received in one day, as well as all vaccines each child received up to two years of age. They found that the total antigens from vaccines received by age two years and the maximum number received on a single day was the same between children with and without ASD (autism spectrum disorder). The authors recognized that children receive more vaccines today then in the late 1990s and took this fact into consideration. However, they stated that vaccines in the late 1990s contained more antigens than they do today. The authors concluded that: An infants immune system is capable of responding to a large amount of immunologic stimuli and, from time of birth, infants are exposed to hundreds of viruses and countless antigens outside of vaccination The possibility that immunological stimulation from vaccines during the first 1 or 2 years of life could be related to the development of ASD is not well-supported by what is known about the neurobiology of ASDs. In 2004, a comprehensive review by the Institute of Medicine concluded that there is not a causal relationship between certain vaccine types and autism, and this study supports that conclusion. [3] Why You Cant Trust the CDC 1. The number of children in each group is unbalanced. How can a study of this caliber be fairly examined if the numbers of children taking part in each group are unequal? 2. There was no control group. All reputable studies need a control group to compare the results with. For this study to be taken seriously researchers would need three groups of participants, the third group being a group of unvaccinated children. 3. There was no mention of genetics or whether any of the children suffered from an underlying condition that may have made them susceptible to adverse reactions. In recent years researchers have determined that certain genetic disorders have the potential to cause children to react adversely to vaccines. An excellent example of how a genetic condition can affect a child receiving vaccines can be seen in the case of Hannah Polling. [4] Hannah suffered from a mitochondrial disorder a dysfunction in basic cell metabolism, which put her at increased risk of injury from vaccines, as determined by the vaccine court. The result of this condition combined with the vast amount of vaccines that Hannah received in one day was autism. Experts Who Value Science More Than Profit Professionals like Dr. Rebecca Carley, Dr. Viera Scheibner and psychologist Lisa Blakemore-Brown have been warning parents about the dangers of vaccines and their possible links to autism for many years. Dr. Viera Scheibner, a retired principal research scientist with a doctorate in natural sciences, has been speaking on the dangers of vaccination since 1985. Dr. Scheibner has published three books and 90 scientific papers in prestigious scientific journals on the subject. Dr. Rebecca Carley was the first professional to recognize that there was a link between the MMR vaccination and the non-fatal form of SSPE, which she has been classifying as autism for the past fifteen years. Her professional opinions have been backed up scientifically as one hundred percent correct when government documents locked up for thirty years were recently uncovered, revealing that the government had discovered that the MMR vaccine was causing what they referred to as an SSPE like-syndrome. Psychologist Lisa Blakemore-Brown has been speaking out since 1995 on the link among vaccines, autism and parents being falsely accused of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. She began to notice the link after she witnessed the parents of autistic children were being blamed for their childrens illnesses and disabilities as soon as they mentioned that their child/children became ill after they received a vaccine. Conclusion Governments are so determined to push vaccinations and reassure mothers that vaccines do not cause autism, they have come up with yet another flawed study to prove it. This effort is followed by a massive vaccination drive and media campaign to scare parents into accepting vaccines. Just to reassure parents further, the government is now encouraging the development of a vaccine to alleviate the symptoms of autism, just in case they are wrong. Really reassuring, isnt it? Here we have yet another example of just how desperate governments and the pharmaceutical industries are to protect the vaccination schedule. Instead of admitting that vaccinations are not only damaging the health of our children and that vaccines are totally ineffective at controlling diseases, governments get together with scientists to cash in on childrens suffering and develop yet another useless vaccine to cure the symptoms caused by the original vaccine. Instead of wasting time developing more vaccinations, scientists, big pharma and governments would be better employed spending more time researching what professionals like Dr. Rebecca Carley, Dr. Viera Scheibner and psychologist Lisa Blakemore-Brown have been saying for years. A Final Word From the Author As a mother of two autistic children, I would advise parents against using a vaccine to alleviate debilitating GI (gastrointestinal) disorders, which are often a symptom of autism. Paul Shattock, a leading expert from the Autism Research Unit, Sunderland University, and Dr. Ellowad, an expert in gastroenterology and child allergies, Great Ormond Street, both advise eliminating dairy and wheat from the diets of autistic children to help alleviate their problems. Their dietary advice not only helped me to manage my autistic sons difficult behavior, but also completely cured the intense pain and chronic diarrhea he suffered as part of his disorder.

Naked imagescanners and Backscatter X-ray devices are under pressure from all sides, despite the best efforts of Michael Chertoff and a U.S. government that seems to have invested in tyranny. Word is spreading that the scanner technology being used in airports is exceedingly harmful, along with being a gross invasion of privacy. The thug-like behavior of TSA agents has further angered a sizable portion of the flying public, leading to numerous grassroots efforts to check the power of the TSA in lieu of a non-responsive federal government. An increasing number of people are becoming informed and are deciding to opt-out of the radiation, as well as to not provide X-rated details to criminals that have included thieves and pedophiles.The TSA has not been deterred, even as outrage mounts, because the success of the machines and the right of TSA agents to grope the public in airports will determine the future of their presence throughout America.

3	Electrohypersensitivity and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Recognized by the World Health Organization; Suggests They Be Included in the International Classification of DiseasesBy Catherine J. Frompovich The Statement was signed by 25 signatories, all prominent international health, medical, research, and political professionals, who encouraged the World Health Organization to recognize electrohypersensitivity (EMS) and multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) as real diseases, plus include them in the International Classification of Diseases. Incredibly, the signatories had this to say: According to the present scientific knowledge and taking into account the precautionary principle, we unanimously recommend that true information in the use of chemicals and wireless technologies be made accessible to the public and precautionary regulation measures applying particularly to children and other vulnerable population subgroups be urgently taken as it should be the case regarding chemicals in the application of the European Registration Evaluation Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation. To fulfill these objectives, we unanimously request that institutional committees designed for evaluating the risks of EMFs and chemicals be constituted by scientists acting in clear science-based independency and so exclude any experts with industry affiliation. [CJF emphasis added] The above-underscored paragraph recognizes, and emphasizes, the importance of excluding experts with industry affiliation, an apparent cog-in-updating-the-science-wheel, especially when it comes to microwave technologya serious cause of EMS. Microwave wireless technology is used in communication networks, cell phones, Wi-Fi, food-prep ovens, warfare, weather geoengineering, plus ratepayer smart meters for utility companies: electric, natural gas and water. Not surprising though, the microwave industry and all its affiliated industries refuse to recognize non-thermal adverse health effects from EMFs and RFs. There are untold adverse health effects that the American Academy of Environmental Medicine reports on in its Recommendations Regarding Electromagnetic and Radiofrequency Exposure here WHO finally is addressing the problem, and rightfully so. My only concern is that the Precautionary Principle [1] is disregarded because industry experts and lobbyists are permitted to keep promoting outdated science based on 50-to-60 year old radar science, which legislators and the media seem to think is current and up-to-date knowledge. Nothing is further from the scientific facts! Adverse health effects regarding microwave wireless technology involve two forms: Thermal, which the industry keeps trotting out as safe, and Non-thermal, what corporate interests dont want anyone to know about. The jig is up; the cats out of the bag regarding microwave wireless technology and multiple chemical sensitivity. The health problems are real, American Medical Association.

Im fairly certain that this is what my younger sister, who also has Down Syndrome, is suffering from. Over the past year and a half, we used natural methods to cure her of IBS, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. But at the start of the year, she started having this bizarre symptom of a vibration sensation in her neck and shoulder. We tried tons of nutrients to calm her nervous system, but nothing worked. Recently, this symptom became much more severe and accompanied by a sensation of noise (buzzing and humming) along with the vibrations, which have become much rougher. We now realize that the only thing that gives her any relief is driving around in the car, which has convinced us that she is perhaps hypersensitive to the cell phone tower radiation. In order to sleep she has to be driven around in a car, because when she is in my parents home, the vibrations and sounds are too rough and noisy for her to sleep. It doesnt seem like there is much information out there for people afflicted with such problems.

1	Explaining that the decision was deemed necessary to protect the health and safety of park patrons, officials at Disney World announced Wednesday that they had been forced to euthanize a character that attacked a visitor over the weekend. Obviously, this was an unfortunate situation, and we do everything possible to prevent such incidents; however, our policy clearly states that when a character threatens or injures a guest, we have no choice but to put him or her down, Disney World spokesman Don Milhiser said of the encounter in which the Dale character in the Frontierland portion of the park became defensive during a meet-and-greet and viciously clawed a 9-year-old visitor. Hes very protective of Chip, and we think the girl just approached a little too quickly for a photo. We considered relocating Dale to a different section of the park, but we couldnt risk this happening with another guest, especially in light of last years Eeyore incident. Disney World officials closed their press conference by reminding visitors to avoid any sudden movements, maintain their distance, and refrain from making direct eye contact with any of the characters.

1	In an effort to expand its congested facilities to better meet the departments staffing needs, the Chicago Police Department announced Tuesday the construction of a new addition to its headquarters that will allow it to accommodate officers who have been placed on desk duty due to allegations of misconduct. As an increasing number of our patrolmen are reassigned to administrative tasks pending the resolution of their internal investigations, we have found it necessary to expand our floor plan, police chief Garry McCarthy told reporters, saying that the new annex includes ample space for officers removed from active duty and relegated to clerical tasks such as filing reports and categorizing evidence. We were simply running out of places to put officers who had been taken off the streets for disciplinary reasons. This extension should allow us to accommodate the overflow for the foreseeable future. At press time, the new addition was already filled past capacity, with many officers working two to a single desk. 
1	SAN JOSE, CAHeritage Ink Supply sales representative Eric Vanderbilt broke his workout routine down in the company breakroom Monday, for the benefit of coworker Jennifer Kim. Vanderbilt describes a typical Thursday night. 'Mondays, I focus on chest and triceps,' Vanderbilt told Kim, after she said that her 232-pound coworker 'must go to a gym or something.' 'I usually start with the flat bench press, which works the whole chest. Then, I move on to the incline and decline bench pressthose focus on the upper and lower chest, respectively. Sometimes, I do dumbbells, just to mix it up. For the triceps, I usually do french press and dips.' Kim said that, in asking Vanderbilt whether he belonged to a gym, she had neither sought nor expected a meticulous account of his lifting regimen. 'It's all about DPP: discipline, persistence, and patience,' Vanderbilt said, watching the muscles in his forearm move as he worked his wrist back and forth. 'I do six or eight reps for each exercise, unless I'm increasing the weight. In that case, I decrease the reps. No cheat reps. No 'one rep max.' A lot of the younger guys are doing 'one rep max' for quick gain, but they're playing with fire.' Many common perceptions about weightlifting are incorrect, Vanderbilt told Kim as she removed a plate from the microwave and stared in the direction of her cubicle. 'You might think you gotta do chest and arms every day of the week, but you don't,' Vanderbilt said. 'It's actually important to let your muscles recover. That's why I do legs on Tuesday, back and biceps on Thursday, and shoulders on Friday. I take Wednesdays and weekends off. I don't just sit around eating chips and watching TV, though. I usually go for a swim. Gotta keep up the old cardiovascular.' Added Vanderbilt: 'What I'm striving for is a total body workout.' He then stressed the importance of stretching before strenuous exercise. 'Even if I don't do any serious exercise, I'll do 20 minutes of stretching,' Vanderbilt said. 'That's a bare minimum. If I'm lifting, then I stretch out before and after the workout. You wouldn't believe how many injuries could be avoided if people stretched before they worked out. If I have time, I like to stretch the muscles I'm working out between reps. You look pretty flexible. Do you do yoga?' Kim responded by smiling and reaching for a AAA-member magazine sitting on the table. 'You don't eat French fries, do you?' Vanderbilt said, eyeing Kim's organic burrito. 'Those are the worst things for your body. You might as well be eating lard. Seriously, if you don't put the right things into your body, you're not going to get the maximum benefit from all that sweat. I usually eat a chicken sandwich without the bun about two hours before a workout and then maybe a can of tuna mixed with vegetables 20 minutes after I'm done. To build muscle, you need proteinlots of it.' Vanderbilt said that, in order to add mass, he stacks his supplements, starting his day with a high-protein shake, an antioxidant multivitamin, a cardio-support supplement, a selenium supplement, and steel-cut oats sprinkled with whey. When Kim asked Vanderbilt why he spends so much time at the gym, instead of spending it with friends or a girlfriend, Vanderbilt said it was important to take care of his most valuable asset: his body. 'I like knowing my body is working at peak efficiency,' Vanderbilt said. 'When I walk out of the gym, I feel physically and mentally disciplined. I like that. And there's a group down at the gym. We like to hang out at the juice bar and talk about routines, diet, and where to buy gear and workout clothes.' After stressing the importance of drinking enough water every day, Vanderbilt excused himself to take a phone call at his desk, giving Kim the opportunity to return to her cubicle and reflect on what she had learned about her coworker. 'Well, I learned that that Eric guy likes to work outa lot,' Kim said. 'I also know that he likes to eat five or six meals a day instead of three. I think I offended him, though, when I asked him about steroids. It's amazing I managed that, since I barely got three words in edgewise for the last 15 minutes. Oh, and now my food's cold.' 
3	War Is A Racket: Thank A Veteran But Dont Feed OneBrandon Turbeville Yet seldom do Americans ask what service they are thanking these veterans for since most Americans simply parrot the latest buzz terms without ever actually questioning them. Of course, there are some for whom no amount of war and slaughter will ever be enough to vicariously make them feel like bigger men or a great nation. Most, however, are simply ignorant. The truth is that the service for which veterans are being thanked has nothing to do with the freedom of the American people. As the most decorated Marine in American history (at the time), General Smedley Butler, 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 discovered that he was a tool of the world oligarchy. Many others have since discovered the fact that they were nothing more than pawns, albeit of a much lower level, after their youth and health was spent in the process of slaughtering innocent people. Many soldiers from the world wars, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan have come to the same conclusion and, no doubt, a number of those who have participated in the attack on Libya, Iraq, and Syria will do the same. There is also no doubt that many of these soldiers signed up because they perceived their country to be under attack and that those people across the world were vicious enemies who wanted to see the American people destroyed. While skewed and tragically ignorant, many joined the ranks of the military for noble reasons. Unfortunately, even the noblest of reasons does not make a lie the truth. Whatever ones reasons for joining the battle, the end result is the same. Thousands to millions of human beings sons, fathers, mothers, daughters, grandmothers, cousins, wives, husbands are killed in unimaginable ways because of the desires of international banks, corporations, and governments. These people, despite the cynical and vile propaganda designed to portray them as subhuman savages, very much care about their families. They love them every much as Americans love theirs. They love their homes and the land they grew up on. Their hearts are ripped out of their chests when they lay their 2-year-old daughter in a shallow grave because Big Oil wanted a new pipeline. They lose a part of themselves when their ailing grandmother is stabbed to death because their village is just one step toward higher profits for international banks. These are the services our veterans are performing while Americans are so far removed from reality that they foolishly attempt to suggest that what they saw on their television from the comfort of their homes on 9/11 somehow equates with the suffering that millions of Iraqis have felt and continue to feel on a daily basis. It doesnt. So perhaps it would be wise to forgive Iraqis for not tearing up whenever they hear the Star Spangled Banner or standing at attention whenever they hear of a fallen hero from the United States. Unfortunately, we shouldnt hold our breath that the general American public will realize anytime soon that Smedley Butler was right when he said that War Is A Racket. To them, American blood is different from all other blood because American blood is right. American blood is always spilled to promote freedom and democracy. American blood is civilized. But what about that American blood when it comes home? Or, I should say, IF it comes home? If the veterans returning home can manage to keep their hair cut, their boots clean, and their delusional programming that taught them they fought for freedom and democracy, then things may fall into place. They can get jobs (maybe) and then be admitted into the circle of masturbation that constantly reminds the American people that these veterans served their country and thus demand respect for doing so. They can be thanked for their service every time the word veteran is uttered in a public setting. Those who joined for the thrill and found war to be a pleasurable experience can then become police so they can continue to terrorize innocent civilians but, this time, do so closer to home. But if their luck is not so fortunate; if they lost their legs, absorbed shrapnel, or injured their brain, then they will be forced into a future of disability and pain, substandard treatment, subsistence payments, unemployment, and despair. Talking about their wounds, of course, will keep Americans entertained at first, but only for so long. The general public simply does not have the attention span to hear war stories that end in wheelchairs and blindness, particularly if the story is told through stuttering lips and slurred speech. After all, John Wayne and Rambo never ended up in a wheelchair. If, of course, they found war to be such a distasteful exercise that their own minds can no longer comprehend the experience and will no longer allow them to function in normal society, they will face these obstacles and more. Not even the requisite thank you for your service will be uttered to these victims of American foreign policy. Theirs will be a life of arrest, psychiatric services, drug addiction and alcoholism. Like their unemployed counterparts, mental victims of war will be relegated to homelessness where they walk through a new war zone where, this time, they are the helpless civilians but men in uniforms remain the real terrorists. On the street, the same people who sent them to war by their armchair support or by their apathy will look at them with disdain on their way to the local Starbucks or football game. After all, John Wayne never asked for a handout. Rambo never mumbled to himself. They came home and got jobs. They got told Thank you for your service and they accepted it. They never reminded us about the ugly truth of war, that it is a racket and a boon for banks and corporations. They never forced us to understand that the people we supported killing were more like us than we ever could have imagined. John Wayne and Rambo were good veterans. Its just a shame they werent real. After our wars in the past, the bad veterans were always left behind to remind us of the after-effects of a tragedy far away. They reminded us that war is a two-way street even if it is not perceived that way on the political front. In 2014, however, we have had enough of being reminded. It is time for the homeless and, in particular, homeless veterans to go away. In cities all across the country, homelessness is being criminalized. The victims and reminders of the results of an imperialist war policy and free trade economics are being swept away from public view. In cities throughout America, feeding the homeless is now against the law, punishable by fines and even jail. The most basic expression of humanity, kindness, and compassion providing food is now considered a crime. Ironically, these crimes are prosecuted in the same cities that will no doubt fund and organize Veterans Day parades. Americans, however, are not interested in the veterans on the streets of Myrtle Beach, Orlando, or other cities across the country that enforce the rules demanding that they Dont feed the animals. For most Americans, rules are rules. The signs say Dont feed the animals so they wont. Instead, they will thank them for their service and enjoy the parade.

3	Virginia Bill Would Take A Step Towards Supporting Sound MoneyBy Michael Boldin Sen. Frank Wagner (R-Virginia Beach) prefiled Senate Bill 934 (SB934)this week. The legislation would exempt some bullion or currency purchases from state sales tax. The official bill summary reads, in part: Exempts legal tender coins whose total transaction sales price exceeds $1,000 from sales and use tax. Under the proposed legislation, the exemption would remain in place until June 30, 2022. Imagine if you asked a grocery clerk to exchange $1000 in cash for smaller billsand he charged you a $53tax. Silly, right? After all, you were only exchanging one form of money for another. But thats essentially what Virginiassales tax on gold and silver does. By removing the sales tax on someexchanges of gold and silver, Virginiawould move towards treating specie as money instead of a commodity. This represents a small step toward reestablishing gold and silver as legal tender and breaking down the Feds monopoly on money. This should set the foundation, said Mike Maharrey of the Tenth Amendment Center. In a state that has not been very friendly to sound money, we see this as a first step. But if passed into law, people should pressure the legislature in future years to eliminate both the sunset clause and the $1000 limit. Practically speaking, fully and permanently eliminating taxes on the exchangeof gold and silver would open the door for people to begin using specie in regular business transactions. This would mark an important steptoward currency competition. If sound money gains a footholdin the marketplace against Federal Reserve notes, the people would be able to choose the time-tested stability of gold and silver over the central banks rapidly-depreciating paper currency. The United States Constitution states in Article I, Section 10, No State shallmake any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts. States have simply ignored this constitutional provision for years. Its impossible for states to return to a constitutional sound money system when it taxes gold and silver as a commodity. This Virginiabill takes a step towards that constitutional requirement, ignored for decades in every state. Such a tactic would set the stage to undermine the monopoly of the Federal Reserve by introducing competition into the monetary system. Constitutional tender expert Professor William Greene said when people in multiple states actually start using gold and silver instead of Federal Reserve Notes, it would effectively nullify the Federal Reserve and end the federal governments monopoly on money. Over time, as residents of the state use both Federal Reserve notes and silver and gold coins, the fact that the coins hold their value more than Federal Reserve notes do will lead to a reverse Greshams Law effect, where good money (gold and silver coins) will drive out bad money (Federal Reserve notes). As this happens, a cascade of events can begin to occur, including the flow of real wealth toward the states treasury, an influx of banking business from outside of the state as people in other states carry out their desire to bank with sound money and an eventual outcry against the use of Federal Reserve notes for any transactions. Once things get to that point, Federal Reserve notes would become largely unwanted and irrelevant for ordinary people. Nullifying the Fed on a state by state level is what will get us there. Pesky confederates. Pesky confederates? This would be one of the best monetary possibilities since the formation of the parasite known as the Federal Reserve by commie democrat Woodrow wood brain Wilson. .gold and silver coins will drive out bad money Federal Reserve notes. There is not enough gold in this world to do that. But at least there could be a bit of competition, which is always good to have. True about gold (standard) but thats why we have silver. Good point thought. Silver is cheap and this way suitable for rather small transactions. Its a niche filler The bank of North Dakota is a states blue print. The Pilgrims Society members active in Virginia, led by the Reynoldses (Reynolds Metals, RJR Industries) and the Cullmans (Philip Morris fortune), and representatives of the First Families of Virginia, are unhappy about anything favorable towards honest money. The College of William and Mary and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation are familiar haunts for these Pilgrims Society spooks. This is the Royal familys money network over the colonies. The American states system of sales tax collection has to be the biggest hoax ever pulled over humanity. Stupid business owners VOLUNTARILY become irs collection agents for their respective state governments as they employ this means of bilking the citizenry on behalf of the professional class of parasites and controlFreaks. A people get the government(s) they deserve.

1	Justices of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled 5-2 Monday in favor of full, equal, and mandatory gay marriages for all citizens. The order nullifies all pre-existing heterosexual marriages and lays the groundwork for the 2.4 million compulsory same-sex marriages that will take place in the state by May 15. A justice performs a mandatory marriage. 'As we are all aware, it's simply not possible for gay marriage and heterosexual marriage to co-exist,' Massachusetts Chief Justice Margaret H. Marshall said. 'Our ruling in November was just the first step toward creating an all-gay Massachusetts.' Marshall added: 'Since the allowance of gay marriage undermines heterosexual unions, we decided to work a few steps ahead and strike down opposite-sex unions altogether.' Marshall said the court's action will put a swift end to the mounting debate. 'Instead of spending months or even years volleying this thing back and forth, we thought we might as well just cut to the eventual outcome of our decision to allow gay marriages,' Marshall said. 'Clearly, this is where this all was headed anyway.' The justices then congratulated the state's 4.8 million marriage-age residents on their legally mandated engagements. The court issued the surprise order in response to a query from the Massachusetts Senate over whether Vermont-style civil unions, which convey the state-sanctioned benefits of marriage but not the title, are constitutional. 'If the history of our nation has demonstrated anything, it's that separate is never equal,' Marshall said. 'Therefore, any measure short of dismantling conventional matrimony and mandating the immediate homosexual marriage of all residents of Massachusetts would dishonor same-sex unions. I'm confident that this measure will be seen by all right-thinking people as the only solution to our state's, and indeed America's, ongoing marriage controversy.' Marshall then announced her engagement to Holyoke kindergarten teacher Betsy Peterson, a pairing that had been randomly generated by computers in the census office earlier that day. A state-arranged couple from New Bedford, MA, honeymoons in Aruba. Those who don't choose to marry in private will be married in concurrent mass ceremonies at Fenway Park, Gillette Stadium, and the Boston Convention and Exposition Center. Any citizen who is not gay-married or is still in an illegal heterosexual relationship after that date will be arrested and tried for non-support. Hundreds of confused but vocal protesters lined the street outside the statehouse Monday night, waving both American and rainbow flags. Their chants, which broke out in pockets up and down the street, included, 'Hey hey, ho ho, homophobia's got to go, but frankly, this is fucked up' and 'Adam and Eve or Adam and Steve, but not Adam and Some Random Guy.' Others held signs that read, 'On Second Thought, Boston Christians Are Willing To Consider A Compromise.' According to police reports, demonstrators were vocal but orderly. 'The unholy union of people of the same gender destroys the only type of romantic love sanctioned by Our Lord in Heaven: the love between a man and a woman,' 54-year-old protester Rose Shoults said. 'Me and my new partner Helene are going to fry in hell.' The much-anticipated order sets the stage for Massachusetts' upcoming constitutional convention, where the state legislature will consider an amendment to legally define marriage as a union between two members of the same gender. Without the order, Rep. Michael Festa said the vote, and his personally dreaded wedding to House Speaker and longtime political opponent Thomas Finneran, would be delayed. 'This is a victory, not only for our state, but for America,' Festa said. 'Simply allowing consenting gay adults the same rights as heterosexuals was never the point. By forcing everyone in the state into a gay marriage, we're setting the stage for our more pressing hidden agendas: mandatory sodomy and, in due time, the legalization of bestiality and pedophilia.' Massachusetts has one of the highest concentrations of gay households in the country, at 1.3 percent, according to the 2000 census. Under the new laws, the figure is expected to increase by approximately 98.7 percentage points. 
1	Local 11-year-old Dylan Adams entered the stage in childhood development Wednesday in which a boy feels the uncontrollable desire to run, jump, and touch the top of every doorframe he encounters. 'It is perfectly natural for young males to start exhibiting a tendency to touch things that are slightly higher than they can reach from a normal standing position,' child psychologist Gerald Bakerfield said. 'In many cases, the child is experimenting with his newfound ability to make his own choices, whether that means jumping to touch ceilings, street signs, or low-hanging tree branches.' Bakerfield added that Adams would soon progress from the jumping-and-touching-doorways phase to the crossing-your-arms-over-your-chest-turning-around-and-pawing-at-the-back-of-your-own-shoulders-to-make-it-seem-like-you're-making-out-with-someone phase.

The footage was reportedly broadcast on the state-owned TV channel Rossiya 2, showing special forces assassinating rebels, carrying out sniper attacks and employing robot tanks. Russias soldiers can be seen taking part in search and rescue missions and also coordinating air strikes. Some footage even managed to capture soldiers shooting targets at close range. In March, Russia admitted they had sent special forces to Syria after the recapture of the city of Palmyra from ISIS. At the time, they gave no indication of the number of soldiers they had deployed or where they were located. On Sunday, ISIS recaptured Palmyra despite Russias numerous air strikes. One day later, foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini confirmed the EU has no plans to impose sanctions on Russia over the conflict in Syria.

1	Eating their meals and conversing pleasantly without paying any heed to how loosely the string was wrapped around the young childs finger, diners at a local Panera Bread reportedly went about their lunch Wednesday completely unaware that 2-year-old Nate Pollens tenuous grasp on a red helium balloon was the only thing standing between peace and total anarchy. Sources confirmed that as Pollen waved the balloon around, the restaurants patronsenjoying their soups and sandwiches or silently working on their laptopswere unknowingly teetering on the very knifes edge of madness, their path to either continued tranquility or utter chaos to be determined by the pressure applied to a length of string by a pudgy, saliva-soaked finger. According to reports, the individual diners, couples, and groups of friends seated within shrieking distance of Pollens table appeared oblivious to the complete breakdown of social order that would follow immediately if the easily excitable toddler were to become momentarily distracted and lose his already delicate grip on the brightly colored balloon. At press time, witnesses reported that complete pandemonium was a mere hairs breadth from exploding across the restaurant as the toddler attempted to transfer the balloon from one poorly coordinated, potato-chip-grease-covered hand to the other. 
3	UN Arms Trade Treatys Deadly LoopholeNile Bowie Many who have critically monitored the situation in Syria and the ramifications of foreign intervention in Libya may have difficulty swallowing Bans words, as some would argue that the UN has itself been complicit in these crises for turning a blind eye to arms and funding going to al-Qaeda-linked rebels in various countries. Twenty-three countries abstained from the vote (representing half the worlds population), including Russia, China, India, Cuba, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Egypt, while three Syria, Iran, and North Korea voted no. Irans Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Gholam-Hossein Dehqani called the treaty a political document disguised as an Arms Trade Treaty, and with highly legitimate reasons for doing so. The right to acquire and import arms for their (importer states) security needs is subject to the discretionary judgment and extremely subjective assessment of the exporting states. That is why this text is highly abusable and susceptible to politicization, manipulation and discrimination, said Dehghani, referring to conditions that arms exporting states would be able to impose on importing states. What makes the treaty not only toothless, but also particularly dangerous, is the fact that it lacks any explicit prohibitions regarding arms proliferation to terrorists and unlawful non-state actors. Without such provisions, the ATT would in fact lower the bar on obligations of all states not to support terrorists and/or terrorists acts. We cannot allow such a loophole in the ATT, said Sujata Mehta, Indias lead negotiator for the ATT in a statement. What this means is that NATO and Gulf states that supply arms to opposition groups in Syria will retain the flexibility to continue to do so, while at the same time having a greater say over whether individual importing states can arm themselves in accordance with their legitimate defense and national security interests. There is no doubt that certain states would take advantage of this loopholes vast potential for misuse. The treaty does not recognize the rights of all states to acquire, produce, export, import and possess conventional weapons for their own legitimate security purposes. In theory, this treaty gives the United States, the worlds largest arms exporter with heavy sway over the UN, much greater ability to influence whether or not an individual country is allowed to obtain weapons for its own defense. The treaty, in its glaring bias and predictability, completely fails to prohibit the transfer of arms to countries engaged in military aggression against other nations, such as Israel. Somebody probably wants to have free rein to send arms to anti-government groups in countries ruled by regimes they consider inconvenient When we started work on the document, the General Assembly set the task of establishing the highest possible international standards in the area of arms transfers. In reality though, the treaty has established minimally acceptable standards, said Russian treaty negotiator Mikhail Ulyanov in a recent interview. The treaty applies to the transfer of conventional weapons such as battle tanks, armored combat vehicles, large caliber artillery systems, combat aircraft, attack helicopters, warships, missiles and missile launchers, small and light weapons, while the proliferation of UAV drones and other modern military technology is not addressed or scrutinized. While feel-good rhetoric prevails and politicians pat themselves on the back, the United Nations by its own admission concedes that the treaty does not ban or prohibit the export of any type of weapon. It is clear that the countries that rely most on the illicit trafficking of arms to execute their foreign policy objectives have had noticeable influence over the contents of this treaty. The treaty depends on how stringently individual countries implement it, and international arms transfers that involve barter deals or leases are also not scrutinized. Rather, the treaty institutionalizes and legalizes the arming of good terrorists while denying arms to unfriendly governments. Until the UN can cease being an appendage of a handful of the most powerful arms exporting states, there is little hope that any international arms trade treaty can reduce human suffering and have a meaningful impact on the lives of the most vulnerable in conflict zones around the world and elsewhere.

3	Cows Are Getting Plugged Into The Internet of ThingsHeather Callaghan Did you ever carry this idea out into living things? Plants, then animalsthen humans? Well, technology from the Internet of Things has definitely crept into the world of plantsand is now making its way toward animals. Large-scale farms are particularly eager to use new technical applications anything to help stay ahead of the changing food system and a shuttering economy. So now plugged into the Internet of Things, weve got appliances, electrical meters, industrial equipment, devices for plants, andcows. Yes, more and more cattle are connecting through their collars which emit real-time updates about their heat cycles. In recent years a LOT of thought and theories have gone into methods for the most milk production for the farmers buck. This could be anything from waterbeds to relieve stress to biotech help with fertilization to the above-mentioned devices which are intended to capture the exact moment a mother cow can get pregnant again after having just birthed a baby calf. To a large-scale farmer, it is apparently worth it, because one missed cycle means 5 more gallons of milk per day that could have been sold, to the tune of $315 per cycle. All of these cows are artificially inseminated one failed attempt, during a tiny window of time that farmers believe happens during the night is a high price. Battery power is also no longer a concern. The Silent Herdsman lasts for three years and has actually synced the cows personal data to the software whenever it enters into the receiving area, be it a designated field or barn.

1	Stressing the importance of being able to financially support their kids during one of the most significant periods in their lives, a growing number of parents are opting to put aside money for their childrens unemployment, a report published Wednesday by the Brookings Institution has revealed. According to the report, parents across the United States are saving a greater portion of their incomes than ever before, hoping they will be in a position to help with costs when their kids reach young adulthood and begin their jobless years. Parents naturally want to provide for their childrens future, and today they are increasingly aware of how much they will need to pay when their child enters unemployment, said economist Belinda Sayers, the reports lead author, who noted that the average cost of a year of joblessness was steadily rising, adding that families with two, three, or more kids had to put even more aside for helping multiple children through unemployment. The expenses really add uphousing, mealsand young people often stay jobless for two years, four years, and sometimes even longer. Thats a large burden on their parents. More Americans are planning ahead now so theyll be ready when their kids grow up and head off into a workforce that cant absorb their numbers, she added. The report also found that the average parent begins saving earlier now than in the past, often before a child is even born, making an effort to deposit a small portion of each paycheck, tax refund, or holiday bonus into an account specifically designated for their son or daughters unemployment. While many young adults are eligible to receive federal aid for their joblessness, sources said outside assistance of this kind only covers a small part of the total cost, leaving parents to pick up the remainder of what can be a very substantial tab. A lot of people wait too long to start saving, and before they know it, their childrens unemployment is upon then, said Scott Rosen, a Philadelphia-based financial adviser. At that point, its too late, and they find they cant afford it. Its important not to underestimate the strain your jobless kids can place on your finances. Starting your childs unemployment savings now is the only way to ensure youll be able to cope when the costs start piling up. The annual bill can be enormous, especially when a child is unemployed out of state, he added. Numerous parents reached for comment told reporters they were making sacrifices now in the hopes they wont find themselves strapped for cash when their children get older and are unable to find work, with many admitting to putting off family vacations, purchasing more economical cars, and discontinuing dining out. Now that my son is out of the house, desperately searching for a job and having no luck, Im really glad we put aside all that money, said Karen Franklin, a 41-year-old mother from San Diego. My husband and I took great pains to make sure our kids would have an easier time than we did when we were young and unemployed. Things are more expensive now, but hopefully well be able to cover him for the first year or two. My parents didnt save any money for my unemployment, and when it finally arrived, things were really, really hard, she continued. The truth is, Im still paying off the debts I took on during my own jobless years. 
3	Border propaganda emphasizes heroin as reason everyones a suspectAaron Dykes Though U.S. Customs Border Patrol admittedly stop less than 10% of all heroin trafficking, the enormity of the problem with drugs and violent Mexican cartels still SEEMS to justify why everyone from an 82-year-old to a mom traveling with kids needs to be treated as a potential terrorist/drug smuggler and combed over with drug dogs, mirrors, electronic density detectors and intimidating questions never mind the rights of American citizens and even international visitors. America is/must be a Constitution-free zone at the border, and a veritable Police State inside her borders to fulfill the insane mandate of a completely failed War on Drugs. USA Today and comparable outlets conveniently fail to mention the backdrop of heroins surge, or the deep politics of the drug war: U.S. troops admittedly guard and help work the poppy fields in Afghanistan; heroin production has increased drastically since the onset of the U.S. war against and occupation of Afghanistan. Wachovia and other major U.S. banks and Wall Street entities have been implicated in laundering billions of dollars for Mexican drug cartels. Investigation of a crashed plane carrying numerous tons of cocaine conclusively linked Wachovia to an estimated $370 Billion+ in laundered funds connected to the Sinoloa drug cartel. The bank, since absorbed by Wells Fargo, has had to pay fines for its involvement. U.S. forces were caught smuggling heroin in the body bags of U.S. troops during the Vietnam War, and opium from the Golden Triangle was a hidden-but-pivotal factor in both Vietnam Afghanistan, despite the publics ignorance about this horror. Gary Webbs investigation, documented in his book Dark Alliance, uncovered the involvement in covert U.S. agencies (CIA, DEA, et al.) in drug smuggling to Los Angeles and other locales in conjunction with cartels working for the Contras. This was a subset (or side plot, if you prefer) to the larger Iran-Contra scandal. Despite all this, the burden of suspicion falls on the average nobody crossing the border, or pulled over during traffic stops. The majority of arrests, convictions and prosecutions in the Drug War- now overwhelming the prison system and creating the largest prison population in the world is carried out on low level users, street dealers and petty gangs, with a total failure to break the system that is fueling drug violence and epidemic usage. There is an utter failure to learn the lessons of alcohol prohibition, which fueled big city gangs, created speakeasies and a violent black market, while building up new police units, government powers, gun control laws and fortunes for the large-scale bootleggers. Are we afraid to even suggest the idea of Decriminalization? Will the streets be filled with junkies and the hospitals with overdoses of street drugs? Maybe, but statistics have suggested otherwise, while many more die from prescription drug overdoses and still-dangerous replacement treatments (such as a Methadone) than from street heroin. Are the lives of the 50,000 to 100,000 killed by violent cartels not enough reason to consider puncturing the illicit drug business by DROPPING all the checkpoints and patrols? Who created all the demand for drugs anyway, and what kind of subversion is happening to society? Would changes in the law be the quickest way to deflate the otherwise unstoppable drug cartels? Not sure, but its time we at least started raising the questions, because liberty is under attack, and no serious dent is being placed on the drug supply. If the Border Patrol lined up every granny, soccer mom and possibly suspicious male for a cavity search, it admittedly would do nothing to stop the ever increasing supply of drugs so why put ordinary and innocent people through so much trouble, if it is admittedly all just pomp and circumstance?

3	Walmart Must Tell Us Why Their Ice Cream Sandwiches Dont MeltHeather Callaghan Then, Dan Collins of KIKN 100.5 in Sioux Falls also put the sandwiches to the test: Some consumers are freaking out, while others are trying to quell the alarmism. Is there a cause to be worried about this everlasting gobstopping creation? And, are people focusing on the wrong argument? In the original storys experiment, Haagen Dazs melted quickly (it only has 5 ingredients), followed by Klondike sandwiches at a much slower rate but it still melted. News anchor John Maltese believes that Walmart brand is safe according the FDA and repeatedly tells viewers not to waste their money on premium brands. Ingredients: What were looking at are a bunch of fillers, stabilizers, emulsifiers and thickeners.Cellulose Gum, for instance, is made from wood pulp. This post suggest it absorbs 20 times its weight. Emulsifiers help with oil/water dispersal. Furthermore, ice cream can be filled with a lot of air. There are a few more industry shortcuts at the bottom of this article. Walmart had this response: Well, not exactly higher fat content will melt faster. Higher water content like in non-fat items will melt slower. (Post-Gazette) But I digress I need to emphasize this were not wondering about slower rates, but no melting rate. The following bulleted websites offer explanations about Walmarts ice cream and why we people should relax and move on nothing to see here. They basically say the same things about fat content, stabilizers, gums, emulsifiers, corn syrups and thickeners. A lot of articles on the subject reference the Post-Gazette article even though it goes counter to Walmarts claims and never talks about ice cream that forgets to eventually melt. All the explanations sound like good answers to quell public concern, but do you see a pattern? No one can answer as to why this particular product doesnt melt ever.There is talk of different melting rates, but that doesnt explain the total lack of melting. Stabilizers maintain shape and texture but what maintains frozen-ness on hot summer days? Ice cream made for convenience includes alot of chemistry still nothing about inability to completely melt. All those additives amount to something that doesnt resemble actual ice cream. The arguments about food ingredients sidestep the point that this particular brand will not melt in extreme heat. Yes, we know about the chemistry that helps it to keep its shape. We know about slower melting rates. But no one has truly explained why the ice cream wont eventually melt. The ice part never melted. Also, its not true that ice cream sandwiches dont melt. They do, even with similar thickeners, emulsifiers, stabilizers and fillers. Look at Klondikes ingredients melted slower, but eventually did melt similar ingredients: Are there other unlisted ingredients that Walmarts brand is not disclosing? Thanks to this federal regulation CFR Title 21, Sec. 101.100 we dont know. It exempts a lot food labeling requirements, falling back on industry standard. WPCOs John Dont Waste Your MoneyMaltese adds: Oh Well, when you put it that way Thats not a reason for ice cream to never melt. Maybe the question should be do you really want to eat any of the listed ingredients? Bottom line: why waste your money on that. Just because were not all food chemists doesnt mean Christie Watson or you or I dont have a reason to question why a food product wont break down like its non-altered counterpart. It was perfectly rational for her to think, What am I feeding my children? Just because some of the ingredients are nature-derived does not make them all natural. Just because ingredients are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA does not mean theyve been proven not to harm. Raising questions does not equal alarmism, but rather, it equals using your thinking faculties. You have every right to wonder and spend your money on which ice cream you prefer. Not that anyone needed my opinion to tell them that but they also dont need people to sayfuhgeddaboudit and feed your kids the cheap stuff.

3	The Western Media Is Dying and Heres WhyBy Tony Cartalucci When he reported on US atrocities in Vietnam, he was first attacked and denounced as a traitor or worse. In time, both the truth and Hersh were vindicated and the importance of what he did as a journalist to both inform the public and serve as a check and balance against the special interests of ruling power were recognized with a Pultizer Prize. In 2007, when he exposed the then Bush-administrations plansto use the Muslim Brotherhood and militant groups linked to Al Qaedato overthrow the government of Syria the result of which is unfolding today the New Yorker gladly welcomed his work as a message they perceived would resonate well with liberal audiences. But then in 2013, when Hersh brought forward information contradicting the Wests official narrative regarding a chemical attack on the outskirts of Damascus,the New Yorker decided not to publish it. His report, Whose Sarin? instead found itself published in the London Review of Books. The story of Hersh bringing this information forward to the public and how the Western media attempted to first discourage it, then bury it, before attempting to discredit both the report and Hersh himself is a microcosm of the dying Western media. Hershsreport went on in detail covering the manner in which Western leaders intentionally manipulated or even outright fabricated intelligence to justify military intervention in Syria eerily similar tothe lies toldto justify the invasion and occupation of Iraq, and the escalation of the war in Vietnam afterthe Gulf of Tonkin incident. And not only did the report punch holes through the official narrative, it helped hobble what little momentum was left for Western military aggression against Syria based on the lies told by the US and its allies regarding the chemical attack. In Hershs follow up report, The Red Line and the Rat Line, also published by the London Review of Books, he revealed information not only further exposing the lies told by the US and its allies, but suggested NATO member Turkey and close US-ally Saudi Arabia may have played a role in supplying those responsible for the attack with the chemical weapons. Should Hershs reports reach wider audiences and the idea of a West capable of conceiving, carrying out, then trying to exploit a crime against humanity to justify expanded, unjust war, Western foreign policy would irrevocably be disfigured and perhaps begin to unravel. The methods of augmenting an increasingly discredited and distrusted Western media have become very creative. With the advent of the Internet and social media, attempts to produce viral content and seemingly outside sources to help guide the public back who are turning away from the mainstream media in droves was actually the subject of an entire policy paper by former Administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Cass Sunstein. The paper was covered in a Salon article titled, Obama confidants spine-chilling proposal, which stated (emphasis added): Sunstein advocates that the Governments stealth infiltration should be accomplished by sending covert agents into chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups.He also proposes that the Government make secret payments to so-called independent credible voices to bolster the Governments messaging (on the ground that those who dont believe government sources will be more inclined to listen to those who appear independent while secretly acting on behalf of the Government). It would be these what are essentially government-paid liars who the West would turn to in an attempt to bury Hersh and the remnants of real Western journalism with him. UK-based unemployed government worker Eliot Higgins began and maintained a popular blog amalgamating online photos and videos from the Syrian conflict. Journalists and analysts from all sides used his resource as a sort of wartime encyclopedia. While Higgins possessed no qualifications or background in warfare, geopolitics, or weapons specifically, what he did possess was a great amount of time. In this time he was able to accurately look up and catalog the media on his blog. However, it wasnt long before the Western media approached him to fulfill the role of independent credible voice. Whether Eliot Higgins was the recipient of secret payments at that time or not, it is clear now that he wasboth approached by and sought those willing to pay him for his servicesand that his work from then on was decidedly both biased and dishonest. Higgins was furnished with his own weapons expert,Dan Kaszeta, who either owns or is an associate of multiple dubious consulting firms. Together from the beginning Higgins and Kaszeta bolstered the Wests narrative that the Syrian government was responsible for using munitions filled with nerve agents right in front of UN inspectors in Damascus. Using what they collectively called open source intelligence watching YouTube videos and looking at Google Earth they claimed the type of rocket and nerve agent used could only have been deployed by the Syrian government. Hersh contested these claims in both of his reports and in additional interviews pointing out that the rockets were crude and could just as easily be homemade, while the production of nerve agents certainly the work of a state actor could have been done in either Turkey or Saudi Arabia or with either nations assistance, then deployed by militants in Syria. To this day, the UNs official conclusion is that there was clear and convincing evidence that rockets containing nerve agents were launched at Damascus suburbs assigning no blame, nor indicating from where either the rockets or the nerve agents originated. Higgins and Kaszeta, featured in the London Guardian and Foreign Policy Magazine, would directly attack Hershs claims citing YouTube videos and UN reports as evidence that the Syrian government possessed the type of rockets used in the attack and the type of nerve agent contained in the rockets omitting one very important question what if the attack was meant to look like the work of the Syrian government? In reality, all Higgins and Kaszeta proved was that whoever carried out the attack designed solely to grant the US and its allies justification for direct military intervention spent a lot of time and effort to make the attack appear as if the Syrian government carried it out. They predicate their entire argument upon claiming the West would not for some reason fabricate an attack to justify a war they sought to wage but lacked any justification to do so. Alongside Higgins and Kaszetas rebuttal was a scathing indictment of not only Hersh, but traditional journalism in general. The London GuardiansBrian Whitaker would pen a piece titled, Investigating chemical weapons in Syria Seymour Hersh and Brown Moses go head to head,claiming (emphasis added): While seeking to re-ignite the whodunnit debate about chemical weapons, Hershs article unwittingly revealed a lot about the changing nature of investigative journalism. Hersh is old-school. He operates in a world of hush-hush contacts often-anonymous well-placed sources passing snippets of information around which he constructs an article that challenges received wisdom. The Hersh style of journalism certainly has a place, but in the age of the internet its a diminishing one as the web-based work of Higgins and others continually shows. It is a talking point that Higgins himself would again make in the space afforded to him by Foreign Policy Magazine that traditional journalism with real sources is out, and Cass Sunsteins army of paid independent credible voices are in. A Russian-brokered deal that saw the entirety of Syrias chemical weapon stockpiles removed from the country under the supervision of the United Nations means that there are neither chemical weapons for the Syrian government to use (or be blamed for using), nor chemical weapons left for terrorists fighting the Syrian government to pilfer and use. Yet now along Turkeys border the nation Hersh has suggested was behind the 2013 gas attack terrorists from the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) are allegedly deploying chemical weapons. Initial reports indicate the use of mustard gas a blistering agent. Like nerve agents, the production and deployment of these weapons requires state resources. The Western media, in a bid to explain how ISIS has acquired these weapons, has begun spinning theories that Syrias weapons on their way out of Syria somehow ended up in ISIS hands. The presence of chemical weapons in northern Syria and Iraq indicates that just as Hersh suggested, chemical weapons are being passed on to terrorists operating in Syria from either Turkey or Saudi Arabia, or both. With this recent development, literally years of Higgins and Kaszetas lies have been exposed, vindicating award-winning veteran journalist Seymour Hersh and the traditional methods of journalism he employed to draw his conclusions. It also exposes Sunsteins army of independent credible voices as just another facet in the echo chamber of discredited, now widely distrusted lies of the Western media. In an attempt to get Higgins and Kaszetas opinion on who they believed were supplying ISIS with chemical weapons, Kaszeta replied by saying, lizard men. Higgins refused to comment. When asked if either would like to extend an apology to Hersh, Kasezta would inexplicably reply, Hersh owes me an apology, now get lost you useless sack of sh*t. One might expect a higher degree of professionalism and civilized debate from experts regularly deferred to by the Western media not only in regards to the Syrian conflict but also in Ukraine, where Eliot Higgins is now offering his independent credible voice to the MH17 disaster. However, admittedly employed by Western think tanks and consultancy agencies, Higgins no longer possess an independent voice, and considering his intentional and unrepentant deceit regarding Syria, he no longer possess a credible voice either. Using chemical weapons has never been an effective means of fighting war. Beyond their psychological effects, conventional weapons have proven a vastly superior means of waging and winning war. During the deadly 8-year war between Iraq and Iran, chemical weapons were used including nerve agents. Yet a document produced by the US Marine Corps, titled, Lessons Learned: The Iran-Iraq War under Appendix B: Chemical Weapons, revealed less than 2-3% of all casualties were the result of chemical warfare. The report concluded that even large-scale use of chemical weapons offered little advantage to either side and suggests that attacks carried out with such weapons required almost perfect weather and geographical conditions to be of even limited benefit. On a smaller scale, the use of chemical weapons would be tactically and strategically useless unless of course used as a means of implicating your enemy and justifying wider war. Likewise, shooting down a civilian airliner over Ukraine offers no benefit to a warring party unless of course they did it to implicate their enemies and justify wider war. Discerning this is a product of critical thinking which is what drove people away from the Western media in the first place. Sunsteins mistaken belief that somehow those drifting away from the Western media were as easily fooled as those still watching it is why people like Higgins have ended up chased out of the independent media and back, deeply within the system that co-opted and used him in the first place. For Hersh, he proves that dedication to the truth when it is unpopular is a small price to pay to keep ones dignity. The ridicule and accusations of those without dignity fades, but the truth is everlasting. When the truth Hersh has pointed out beneath the lies finally surfaced for all to see, vindication exposed people like Higgins and Kaszeta for all to see. With the veils of legitimacy and professionalism yanked from them, they are reduced to vulgar, miniature versions of the rotting system that created them. Without realizing their very creation as consultants lies in the decline of those who sought them out, not because of their talent, but because of their willingness to do what those with dignity refuse to do, they will likely go on with their ignoble work. But like the media houses that desperately needed their independent credible voices to begin with, fewer will be listening and reading.

People cant handle the TRUTH! somebody please tell FOX that they have been outed so they will quit trying to deceive Western media is dying because they are incapable of telling the truth.

3	Stop Being a 99% VictimJessie Gendron 99% may not be implementing the agenda of psychopaths, but 99% of us are also not necessarily doing anything about it. If the odds really did add up to that, the real counter-world would not have the challenge we do to get the real 99% away from the plasma screen for more than ten minutes to look at what the government that represents them are doing. They do NOT represent me and they do NOT represent you if you can read this without cognitive dissonance. It is an insult to anyone seriously removing themselves from tyranny to put us in league with drooling masses currently paying tribute, working at banks, collecting the government dole, voting for tweedle dee and tweedle dumb. The rest of us have worked hard to break our dependence, and that 99% do not deserve the same credit. Those who read into a small fraction of the mystery like the economy or Zionism stop looking as if theyre at the apex of the problem. The truth is that it is not some people in government; it is all government. It is not some people in control; it is the sickness that is the need to control. And your need to be controlled is because youre too afraid to make decisions for and defend yourself. But it takes so much more than that. These bizarre circuses excite the inherent rebellion in all of us, just enough that you feel satisfied without doing anything about your own livelihoods dependence on tyranny. The truth is that few of us actually want an end to tyranny because they wouldnt know where the next meal would come from. This is because they havent taken the responsibility to ensure it through their own self worth, not their buying power. You have a credit card, a mortgage you have worked for them all of your life yet you insultingly call yourself the 99% because you cant get a job in the food court and this is why you repeat these mind-numbing memes. The point is not to bring the corporate jobs back. Do you get it yet? The point is to eliminate the need for them. Slaves that first came to this country had the exact opposite problem. Americans are most proficient at this because they have instituted the first voluntary slavery. This degrading workforce where you repeat whatever equally mind-numbing slogan that your respective bosses tell you to, to avoid the horrors of manual labor. The madness continues because we work for them more than we work for the people and ourselves. When we lose the opportunity to support the machine, we complain about not having the boon to mankind that is voluntary wage slavery. No, Im afraid that if you understand this, you are not among the 99% of us! The alternative is to work together in a way that soon we wont need the outside to agree with us. If we can produce our own food and technologies then it will be soon. What they do will not affect us and it wont be a matter of getting the controllers to stop what they are doing, it will simply be a matter of continuing what we do for ourselves. If youre in debt, get out of debt soon. It makes no matter how you do that, some may choose to sell their consumer junk to achieve that, while others may choose to use a debt cancellation service. Either way, until you get out of debt youll always be a wage slave. Stop being someones wage slave. For some of you it may require that you become SELF EMPLOYED, and for others it may mean going off the grid and becoming truly SELF SUFFICIENT! Most importantly stop being controlled by the establishment media and politicians who know all the right buzz words to activate your mind to their benefit. Until you become really FREE, all the bitching in the world will only be a pressure release valve that TPTB know only too well how to use; and all the bitching in the world will only work to keep you in this rotting corrupt system.

2	7 Syrian Refugees Just Did The UNTHINKABLE To A 13 Year Old Jewish Girl... This Will Make You Sick President Obama has insisted time and time again that it is an American duty to take in Syrian refugees, and continues to deny the risks associated with doing so. Meanwhile, European nations are suffering at the hands of migrants and reports of sexual abuse are at an all time high. Recently, a report from Russia Insider revealed that a thirteen-year-old Russian girl living in Berlin was just attacked by a group of Arab invaders. Liza, a young Jewish girl, was headed out on her morning walk to school when she was kidnapped by a gang of Islamic migrants. Instead of making it to class, she was held in captivity and was repeatedly gang raped by the men. The incident took place in Marzhan, a district where many of the schools are in locations near migrant camps. Children are forced to pass them on their route to school. To hear more of this terrible story, watch the video below, but please be aware that the content is graphic. This is absolutely outrageous. We cannot let this happen in the United States. Its time for Obama to make the safety of our citizens his priority. 
1	Returning to his hometown to attend a cousin's wedding Saturday, Josh Sundling, 29, reportedly demonstrated on numerous occasions a vast, far more intricate understanding of the fictional Marvel Comics Universe than of his own family's genealogy. Sundling, who cannot identify his ancestral homeland or the meaning of his surname, possesses extensive knowledge of the creation of superhero teams, the history of imaginary alien races, and the special powers of countless characters. 'We're from Sweden or Norway or somewhere around there,' said Sundling, who when prompted can accurately detail the origins of each cartoon member of the X-Men, the Avengers, the Defenders, and the Squadron Supreme. 'I don't know for sure. I never really asked about it.' Though Sundling reportedly reread several issues of Moon Knight recently and found himself enjoying the subplot of the hero's romantic involvement with Tigra, it is believed he did not realize his cousin was dating anyone until he received an invitation to the wedding. 'I guess Andy had been engaged for a while,' Sundling said of his cousin Tom, whom he has met on 26 separate occasions and once spent two weeks with at summer camp but routinely confuses with other relatives. 'One of my aunts was telling me about it. Whichever one used to have the long dark hair and kind of looked like former Alpha Flight member Diamond Lil.' 'She cut it, though, and now it's white and curly,' Sundling added. 'Kind of looks like Daily Bugle editor in chief Joe Robertson's haircut. Especially if you look at those old issues from the '70s, back when Ross Andru was drawing him.' According to family sources, not only is Sundling not familiar with his family's heritage and history, but the 29-year-old also appears more emotionally attached to the fictional characters in his comic books than to many of his blood relatives. 'Josh has always loved those cartoons,' said uncle Donald Grier, whom Sundling believes to be one of his father's friends from college. 'I remember one time he cried after reading about Captain America, because the Captain's little helper guy had died.' 'It was weird because I'd never seen him cry before,' Grier said. 'Not even at Papa's funeral. Though Sundling is unaware that his grandmother was the first female valedictorian at La Crosse Central High, or that ancestors on his mother's side narrowly escaped famine by fleeing across the Atlantic with nothing but the clothes on their backs, he has been known to confidently discuss the histories of the Skrull, Kree, and Shi'ar civilizations. Sundling also has a working knowledge of Jean Grey's complex family tree, which contains multiple clones and characters from other realities. Sources confirmed that Sundling does not know his grandmother's maiden name. 'It's so fascinating that Jean Grey and Cyclops had a child from an alternate future who ends up marrying Franklin Richards, who is the son of Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman,' said the man who did not recognize his own nephew at the wedding. 'And then their kid, Hyperstorm, travels back in time and attacks the Fantastic Four.' 'I've always been drawn to superhero pedigrees and how they pass traits down from one generation to the next,' said Sundling, completely unaware that colon cancer runs in his family. 'It'd just be cool to have something rare in common with your relatives.' 
2	Congress Delivers Devastating Holiday Blow To Obama... Happy New Years Before vacating the White House, President Barack Obama has been trying to pass as many executive orders as possible with the goal of putting roadblocks to make the early days of Donald Trumps presidency as difficult as possible. Now, Congress is fighting back against his rebellion and reminding him that George W. Bush took the high road to make transitions possible. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy has teamed up with 21 other committee chairs to write a letter demanding that Obama stops his tirade. Should you ignore this counsel, please be aware that we will work with our colleagues to ensure that Congress scrutinizes your actionsand, if appropriate, overturns thempursuant to the Congressional Review Act, McCarthy wrote. The letter was inspired by a 2009 letter written by Obamas former Chief-of-Staff Rahm Emanual, who wrote a similar letter to the Bush administration. We have the opportunity to return to commonsense principles of regulation and curb unnecessary government interference in the private sector, the senators wrote. In doing so, we will grow the economy, create jobs, and above all, help the people who have been overlooked in the past. To this end, we respectfully request you honor the will of the American people and refrain from working on or issuing any new non-emergency regulations while carrying out your remaining term in office. What do you think? Does Obama have a responsibility to put an end to his executive orders? 
1	Despite the existence of cinema classics such as Citizen Kane, The Godfather, and Seven Samurai, the 2004 film Garden State starring Zach Braff and Natalie Portman is some poor fuck's favorite movie, according to a posting on lun.com. 'I thought the interplay between the main characters was beautiful, and the soundtrack was amazing,' wrote the miserable bastard after another post called the film 'self-indulgent' and 'annoying.' 'It's this cynical society's snap reaction to dislike a movie about finding one's true self. I honestly cry every time he gets off that plane.' The sad sack of shit was swiftly put in his place by another lun user, who argued that the film was just a 'knockoff' of superior predecessors, such as You've Got Mail. 
2	Fox News Sean Hannity Just THREATENED To Do THIS If You GOP Elites Steal Nomination From Trump The Republican establishment has made it clear that they are hesitant to put their support behind Donald Trump, and theyre not completely behind Ted Cruz either. Now, there are rumors that GOP power brokers may be attempting to hijack the selection process for their nominee. Fox News Sean Hannity is not taking that lightly. On Wednesday, he issued a warning to establishment kingmakers. You know, if they are going to be that self destructive, and if theyre going to pout, and if theyre going to pick up their little toys, and theyre going to go home like a bunch of babies, they will destroythere will be no Republican Party at the end of this, Hannity commented. Because if theyre successful, guess what? Cruz and Trump supporters are walking out. And Im walking out with them. Harsh at it may be, Hannitys prediction is likely dead-on. In a recent op-ed by Republican Peter Kalikow for the New York Post, he argued that the stop Trump forces are outraged that Trump, if nominated, would lead the party to a crushing loss in November. I assume the corollary of their argument is that we should put forth a candidate who didnt fare well in duly constituted primary elections and caucuses around the country, he commented. Or worse, we should anoint some white knight candidate who has never put himself or herself through the rigorous democratic process, but somehow has the approval of the older white men (such as myself) who dominate the upper echelons of our party. Quite frankly, the logic escapes me. They just dont get it, Kalikow continued. The people were fed up to begin with, and this type of behavior only serves to remind them why they were so disgusted in the first place. 
1	Drenched in drying blood and limping slightly, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg triumphantly stated this morning that the citys longstanding homeless problem had finally been solved. Homelessness is overits not a problem anymore, a winded Bloomberg said to a City Hall press conference while gripping the lectern tightly to prevent his hands from shaking. I fixed the problem. Problem solved. When asked by reporters if permanent housing had been provided for the citys 50,000 homeless, Bloomberg assured them the new lodgings were quite permanent. 
3	They Will Seize Your Food and Resources: Hoarding of Just About Anything Can Be BannedMac Slavo The new order provides specific definitions for each of these essential infrastructure elements, indicating that all resources, not just those owned by large farms and businesses, are to be directly controlled by the government. The signing of the National Defense Resources Preparedness executive order 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 as delegated by the following agencies: That the government would seize energy depots, large farms, water reservoirs, and infrastructure-critical factories in the midst of a widespread disaster is a given, but how far can they really go? According to a detailed analysis by Code Green Prep, The Present Legal Support for Seizing our Food and other Supplies suggests they can go all the way, including what you have stocked in your home pantry. the President can order the military to do pretty much anything to anyone, at any time, for any reason. Specifically, he can order the military to restore public order and you might wonder what public order is. Truly, thats a broad term capable of many meanings, and so too is the verb before the noun restore. What types of things can he order the military to do to restore the public order? Theres no limit specified, so presumably whatever he (and he alone with no need to get approval from Congress) feels to be prudent, necessary, and appropriate. 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 as scarce 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. In making such designations the President may prescribe such conditions with respect to the accumulation of materials in excess of the reasonable demands of business, personal, or home consumption as he deems necessary to carry out the objectives of this Act [sections 2061 to 2170, 2171, and 2172 of this Appendix]. This section shall not be construed to limit the authority contained in sections 101 and 704 of this Act [sections 2071 and 2154 of this Appendix]. 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. We dont want to get into the deeper darker conspiracy theories of what FEMA and HSD might be and do in the future, but we would like to be reassured that these theories truly are as impossible as we hope them to be. We have no answer to these questions. But we wish we did, because we can readily see a future scenario where the government (which, of course, always knows best) decides the best thing to do is to centralize all food and other survival resources all the stuff listed above in the Executive Order and then distribute it fairly as it sees fit. And, in case you didnt read the first part of this two-part article, distributing fairly is a code phrase that means well take as much as we can from people who have the thing, and then give it to people who dont have the thing. The people without the thing doubtless feel that is fair, but how do you feel, as someone more likely to be losing your preps, while seeing people who laughed at you for being a prepper now having your preps passed over to them? Full Reports via Code Gree Prep Part 1: Preppers Beware : Our Hoarding Can Be Deemed Illegal Part 2: The Present Legal Support for Seizing our Food and other Supplies It should be clear from the laws that are already in effect that the government has given itself a legal pretext for confiscating anything they so choose in the midst of an emergency. During Hurricane Katrina we saw officials go door-to-door to disarm Americans against their will and in violation of the Second Amendment. They had no authority to do so in a legal sense. They did it anyway. Should an emergency befall the United States, the military, national guard, and local police operating under orders from the Department of Homeland Security will have carte blanche to do as they please. For evidence of this look no further than Boston, Massachusetts just a few short months ago when the government declared nothing short of a de facto state of martial law. Militarized police forcibly entered the homes of hundreds of Americans without permission. In a widespread emergency where supply lines have been threatened and millions of Americans are without essential resources because they failed to prepare, the government will swoop in and attempt to take complete control. They will enter our homes and search them without a warrant. They will confiscate contraband. And they will take any excessive resources that you may have accumulated. This includes food, toiletries, precious metals and anything else emergency planners and officials deem to be a scarce material. Expect it. Prepare for it.

2	BREAKING: Obama Finally Responds To Petition To Free Jailed Marine Shortly after the Obama administration illegally exchanged five prisoners for army deserter Bowe Bergdahl, a young marine was imprisoned in Mexico. Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi accidentally took a wrong turn at the border, and was detained for having firearms in the back of his truck. He has been sitting in a Mexican President ever since. Following his arrest, the American people encouraged Obama to take action the way he did for Bergdahl. A petition called Demand Release of U.S.M.C. Sgt. Tahmooressi Suffering with PTSD from Mexico Imprisonment circulated and surpassed the 100,000 signatures which required a response from the president. The petition was filed in May, a month after Tahmooressi was arrested. 134,935 Americans invested their hope that the president would step up to the plate. And although they have taken their sweet time, they have finally responded. Unfortunately, their response is extraordinarily lackluster: The U.S. State Department continues to provide extensive consular assistance to Mr. Tahmooressi, and will do so until his case is resolved. As in all cases when a U.S. citizen is arrested overseas, our goal is to see that Mr. Tahmooressi is treated fairly during the judicial process with the hope that he can receive the support, both emotional and medical, that he may require now and at the conclusion of the proceedings. Mexico is one of the United States most important partners. We have close economic and cultural ties, and we work closely with them on numerous sensitive issues. While we will not go into detail about our private diplomatic discussions on this case, U.S. officials, including Secretary of State John Kerry, have spoken to Mexican officials at the highest levels regarding Mr. Tahmooressis case. Mexican authorities have been very willing to engage on this issue. They have provided prompt and continued consular access and visitations. As a result, the State Department has been able to provide regular updates on Mr. Tahmooressis condition to his family, Members of Congress, and the press. We respect the rule of law and expect the judicial process of sovereign nations to protect other U.S. citizens who might find themselves in similar circumstances in the future. We will continue to monitor the case and work with the Mexican authorities as this case proceeds through the Mexican judicial system. We continue to urge the Mexican authorities to process this case expeditiously. What do you think? Is this just another example of the administrations hypocrisy?

2	BREAKING: Obama Just Declared This Month International Muslim Awareness Month Well, it appears that President Obama has decided to designate August of each year as International Muslim Awareness Month. And his reasoning is as shocking as ever. The Muslim community around the world deserves our full acceptance, respect, apologies and most important, our awareness, Obama told reporters during his announcement. The world has done horrible things to the Muslim people since the beginning of time. Americans have killed millions of Muslims overseas since the September 11 attacks. They are not all bad, in fact, most of them are good, hard-working folks just like yourself, living day to day, trying to survive and for that they need to be celebrated. So from now on, the world will know the month of August to be a month of celebration for the Muslim community, the Sunnah and the amazing teaching of the Quran. While the Muslim community is pleased about the other day, others are frustrated with yet another biased action from the president. An International Muslim Awareness Month is definitely a step in the right direction, said Khald Matei, a member of the Muslim Brotherhoods Freedom and Justice Party. Praise Allah. Currently, as it stands, obtaining a Visa or Green Card for a Muslim person is very difficult, Obama told reports. There are too many unnecessary background checks in place and I plan to fix that. What do you think? Is Obama taking his pro-Muslim movement too far in light of recent events?

'Remember that serial rapist eight years ago? That was a sketch of my neighbor,' Lampert told reporters. 'Son of a bitch wouldn't leash his dog.' Lampert also revealed that Houston's notorious heroin kingpin Bradley Manning, arrested hours after a Lampert sketch of him was completed, stole the vigilante sketch artist's girlfriend in college. 'Jerk thought he was so big,' Lampert said. 'Showed him.' 
2	Navy Admiral Turns On Hillary And Completely Exposes Her According to reports, Navy Admiral James Stavridis was reportedly on the list of possible vice presidential picks for Hillary Clinton. Now, it appears that he is not even sure if hell vote for her. Boston.com reported that the former admiral reportedly being vetted refused to endorse Clinton. James Stavridis is a former Navy admiral and supreme allied commander at Nato. He is also currently the dean of the Fletcher School at Tufts University. Last week, The New York Times reported that he was being vetted by Hillary Clintons campaign as a potential running mate. In an interview with Fox News Radios Kilmeade and Friends on Tuesday, Stavridis said that he was leaning toward voting for the former secretary of state. At this point, I would say that I would lean toward Secretary Clinton from everything Ive seen thus far, he commented. I am very comfortable with making that decision in the privacy of my own home. What do you think of Stavridis comments? Is this a complete embarrassment to the Clinton campaign? 
2	World Leaders Refuse To Shake Obamas Hand [VIDEO] Well, you know your president has gone too far when he starts being snubbed by major World leaders. In a recently released video clip, President Barack Obama extends his hands out to greet the leaders as he walks by. Every single one of them refuse to shake it, and the message is embarrassingly clear: they do not respect him. What do you think? Would you react the same way if Obama reached out to shake your hand? Does he need to be taken out of office before America is snubbed the same way our President is? 
1	Saying that no other fact about him elicits more interest and attention from others, local man Travis Whitaker explained to reporters Friday how all of his numerous accomplishments are routinely overshadowed by his hefty birth weight of 10 pounds, 6 ounces. You know, Ive risen pretty far at my law firm in only a few years, I ran track at college, and Ive played piano my whole life, but as soon as people find out how much I weighed as a newborn, all of that goes right out the window, and they just want to talk about how much bigger I was than regular babies, said Whitaker after excusing himself from a break room conversation that was sidetracked by a question about whether he look[ed] like the Michelin Man back then. I always get a way bigger reaction to that than when I talk about my trip to Patagonia or the law journal article I had published. Once they hear how large I was, their eyes just light up, and all they care about is asking to see my baby pictures so they can look at my big chubby cheeks. At press time, sources confirmed that a coworker was interrupting Whitakers story about studying abroad for a year in Venice to say that his delivery must have been hell on his mother. 
2	Kanye West Thinks Hes Tougher Than Any US Soldier By now it should come as no surprise that rapper Kanye West tends to say some pretty outrageous things. Such was the case when he decided to compare his job as a musician to that of a soldiers during war or a police officers while on patrol. Im putting my life at risk, literally! claimed West, When I think about when Im on the Cant Tell Me Nothing, and Coldest Winter moment, like that mountain goes really, really high. And if I slippedyou never know. And I think about it. I think about my family and Im like, wow, this is like being a police officer or something, in war or something. Apparently, in Kanyes mind, going on tour is a lot like going into battle. This just goes to show that the rapper, who refers to himself as Yeezus continues to hold himself on a very high pedestal. What do you think of Kanyes outrageous claims?

1	Gathering together outside the House chamber to trade ideas Tuesday, the nations lawmakers reportedly brainstormed complimentary things they could say about poor people when they meet with Pope Francis later this week. This guys really interested in the poor, so we should have something nice to say, like, I dont know, how theyre salt-of-the-earth people or how theyre humble or something like that, said Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH), one of several dozen representatives who stood around struggling for nearly half an hour to come up with any positive associations they felt toward the countrys impoverished population. Boy, this is hard. The bottom line is that we cant say anything that will come back to bite us later, like implying that theyre in need of assistance or that they deserve better. Lets just scrape together a sentence or two vaguely praising them and then we can move on to something much more comfortable, like abortion. At press time, Boehner was frustratedly shaking his head after realizing he and his colleagues would likely have to come up with something positive to say about peace, as well. 
3	US Claims Assad Supporting ISIS as US Supports ISISBy Brandon Turbeville Indeed, mainstream news and the US State Department must be attempting to top themselves in a contest that could only be titled Wackiest theory of the week. Enter this weeks contestant: the Assad is supporting ISIS claim. Yesterday, the U.S. Embassy Syria Twitter account sent out a tweet suggesting that the Syrian government was undertaking a bombing campaign in support of ISIS and the terrorist organizations creeping assault on Aleppo. U.S. Embassy Syria (@USEmbassySyria) June 1, 2015 Of course, those who sent the tweet are not stupid at all. In fact, they know full well that Assad is not supporting ISIS. They are merely attempting to shift focus after it was revealed a week ago that the United States, NATO, and the GCC not only were aware of ISIS/AQI early on, but that they were actively supporting their advance by documents belonging to the Defense Intelligence Agency. With that little piece of information circulating throughout the airwaves (at least the alternative ones), the US is now claiming that it is Assad who is supporting ISIS. If this little piece of propaganda is able to stick, the justification for direct military assault on Syria will be more easily sold to the general public in the West who, at best, are only half listening to any report at any given time. Obviously, Assad is not supporting ISIS and any delineation between ISIS, AQI, FSA, moderate rebels, Harakat Hazm, al-Nusra Front or any others fighters opposing Bashar al-Assad in Syria is disingenuous to say the least. Assad is and has always been along with Iran and Hezbollah (and Iraq free of American dictates) the true opponent of ISIS and al-Qaeda in Syria. Quite frankly, all claims to the contrary are nothing more than war propaganda. Recently from Brandon Turbeville: Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina. He has a Bachelors Degree from Francis Marion University and is the author of six books, Codex Alimentarius The End of Health Freedom, 7 Real Conspiracies,Five Sense Solutionsand Dispatches From a Dissident, volume 1 and volume 2, and The Road to Damascus: The Anglo-American Assault on Syria.Turbeville has published over 500 articles dealing on a wide variety of subjects including health, economics, government corruption, and civil liberties.

'When I was in the studio mixing and recording, I decided 'Tha Kidd' would work best if I kept all the music and vocals from the original version and then didn't rap over it,' Combs said. 'So what I did is put in a tape with 'Billie Jean' on it, and then I hit record. The thing turned out great.' Combs' current number-one hit, 'Eye Of The Tiger,' is dedicated to slain rapper Notorious B.I.G. 
2	What Malia Obama Was Just Exposed Doing Will Make You Absolutely SICK Well, it appears that President Barack Obama is as questionable a father as he is a president. Last week, 16-year-old Malia Obama was reportedly on the set of the HBO hit show Girls. One source told the New York Post that Malia spent about three hours on location in Brooklyn as the HBO show filmed at the Aurora Ristorante, a hipster haven on Grand Street. Malia had no supervision while on the set of the x-rated show, and was in close quarters with Lena Dunham, who has confessed to molesting her younger sister, Grace. In her memoir, Dunham claims that she and her sister used to experiment. Now, her sister is a full-blown lesbian. Dunham has admitted that she often played with her sisters privates, kissed her, and masturbated in front of her. Sounds like a good role model, doesnt it? 
2	BREAKING: States Ban Together To Strip Obama Of His Power In November of 2014, President Obama changed immigration laws when he unilaterally created and implemented the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans act. The measure basically granted amnesty to illegal immigrant parents with children born in the United States. Texas led in the opposition of the measure, and they won an injunction in federal district court that was upheld by a circuit appeals court. Now, 26 of our 50 states are preparing to push back against Obama in the Supreme Court, led by Attorney General Ken Paxton, who filed a brief this week. The Obama Administration has consistently demonstrated disregard for the rule of law in asserting that it has the legal authority to unilaterally change the immigration policy of the United States, Paxton argued in a statement. Rewriting national immigration law requires the full and careful consideration of Congress, not the political will and assertion of one person. As the president himself said numerous times, he alone does not have the authority to grant millions of unauthorized aliens a host of benefits, the statement continued. Including work authorization. The 99-page brief goes on to argue that Obamas actions place an undue economic burden on the states, forcing them to issue drivers licenses and other benefits to individuals in the country illegally. It also asserts that Obama violated the Administrative Procedure Act by announcing monumental changes without the input of Congress or comments from the public. The Supreme Court will officially hear arguments in this case this month. What do you think? Is it time Obama was punished for his actions? 
1	BAGHDADThe U.S. was forced to free accused war criminal Saddam Hussein Monday following the revelation that the former Iraqi dictator had been arrested in an illegal search. 'American special forces neglected to obtain proper warrants before dragging Mr. Hussein from his hiding place outside of Adwar,' Iraqi prime minister Iyad Allawi said in a morning press conference. 'In accordance with international law, the Americans had no choice but to free him.' Hussein, who is still named as the defendant in hundreds of outstanding civil cases, said his release was proof that the system works.

2	BREAKING: Major Hillary Rodham Announcement Rocks The Nation Hillary Clinton may have thought she was officially off the hook for her many crimes, but new reports indicate this may not be the case at all. According to reports from The Political Reviewer, the FBI in New York just made some major progress in their investigation. Though Trump has acknowledged he no longer intends to make the Clinton case a priority, he did not entirely close the door on the investigation either. Agents were reportedly ordered to go forward with their ongoing inquiry into the Clinton Foundationfocusing on issues of corruption and money laundering. There were no instructions to shut it down, to discontinue or to stand down on the investigation, but to continue its worker, a former official said, according to BizPac Review. The official also claimed he received the information a week ago and that the order originated in the bureaus headquarters after the election. The investigation focuses primarily on the fact that in 2015, the Clinton Foundation had 528 employees working on Wall Street with $317 million in net assets. They reportedly shared an office with Goldman Sachs, more than doubling their rent. What do you think? Does Clinton belong in prison for her continuous lies and deception? 
1	Following a Tuesday skate-around in which concussed team captain Sidney Crosby practiced for the first time since January, Penguins coach Dan Bylsma told reporters that his star player, who spent the majority of the press conference passed out and only occasionally woke up to vomit, is progressing nicely and should be back on the ice soon. 'His recovery is right on schedule,' Bylsma said as Crosby quietly slurred a complaint about how bright the lights were, fell into a daze, and began convulsing. 'We're seeing some definite signs of improvement. We just have to keep at it until he can stand without assistance.' Bylsma claimed the team could expect Crosby to return as early as next week, or when he can remember who he is, where he is, and what hockey is, whichever comes first. 
1	Sitting alone in the school nurse's office, local student Vanessa McMillan, 12, was welcomed to the most beautiful and special time in her life Tuesday by a four-page educational pamphlet. McMillan, who became a woman midway through a unit five geography test and, moments later, rushed to see the school nurse, was reportedly congratulated by the three-color pamphlet at approximately 11:35 a.m. 'Welcome to the wonderful world of womanhood,' read the informational booklet, which was handed to the distressed sixth-grader just after she entered the white-walled office and hesitantly explained the magical transformation that was taking place. 'This is a time of incredible change!' Over the course of the next 20 minutes, McMillan's passage into womanhood was heralded by the pamphlet's front cover design of a yellow daisy in full bloom; a series of bold-type chapter headings, including 'How Am I Different Now?' and 'What To Expect Each And Every Month'; explicit line drawings of a large, two-dimensional uterus; and the deafening silence of school nurse Mrs. Howards, who had busied herself with checking e-mail and filing paperwork. 'Cramps are a natural part of your new monthly visitor,' a sentence halfway down the first page read, one of roughly a half dozen upbeat mentions of menstruation-related discomfort that greeted McMillan as she reached her amazing milestone. 'Don't worry. In just a few short years, they won't hurt as much as they do now.' The pamphletwith its monthly cycle charts, unexpectedly frightening illustration of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, and repeated use of confusing terminologywasn't the only thing to welcome McMillan to the newfound joys of womanhood. Approximately six minutes after receiving the document, McMillan's breathtaking metamorphosis from little girl to sexually mature female was commemorated with a large absorbent pad, wrapped in hospital white and handed to her by Nurse Howards. 'You'll have to wear this now,' said Howards, placing the foreign device onto a chair next to McMillan. 'And there's some extra pants in that bin over there, if you need them.' According to middle school sources, congratulations extended far beyond the nurse's office. Over the course of the day, McMillan's budding womanhood was acknowledged by passing teachers who smiled sympathetically upon seeing her; a group of sixth-grade boys who warned one another not to talk to her for fear she might suddenly become pregnant; and Coach Dobbs, who suggested that she should maybe go ahead and sit out the afternoon's gym class. McMillan was also warmly received by her circle of friends, who demanded that she tell them everything that had happened, including what it was like, how she was feeling, and whether or not she was going to ask Jeremy out to the dance this Friday now that everything was different. 'Oh my God,' best friend Rebecca Woolard screamed as she gave McMillan a hug that seemed to contain faint traces of jealousy, competitiveness, and what almost felt like resentment. 'You have no idea how lucky you are!' 'I so totally hate you right now,' Woolard continued. 'Totally, totally hate you.' Following a whirlwind day of firstsincluding the first time in a long time that she felt scared and overwhelmed and desperately wished that her mother had picked up the phone when she left midway through class to call herMcMillan returned home at approximately 3:30 p.m. At 3:37 p.m., the sixth-grader received one last, very special welcome. Seated alone in her bedroom, McMillan was greeted by her own reflection in the vanity mirror, a reflection she examined for several minutes and searched endlessly for any sign of a change.

It wasn't like she was never going to walk again.' Hermenson added that he didn't see why he had to waste perfectly good Knicks tickets that night, when Kara went straight to bed after getting home anyway. 
2	BREAKING: Indiana And Arkansas Just Made A Massive Move In Support Of Shariah Law Indiana and Arkansas have received massive backlash from the media lately over their religious freedom laws. Liberals are concerned that the law gave business owners a legal defense in discriminating against members of the LGBT community. Conservatives are concerned for a very different reason. According to reports, a fix to the law was just proposed to Governor Mike Pence. The update, released by Indiana GOP lawmakers, states that the religious freedom law does not allow any business to deny service to any customer, including on the grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity. Pence claims that his goal is resolving this controversy; making clear that every person feels welcome and respected in our state is best for Indiana. Conservatives worry that the bill could open the door for Shariah law. Over the past week, this law has become a subject of great misunderstanding and controversy across our state and nation, the governor continued. However we got here, we are where we are, and it is important that our state take action to address the concerns that have been raised and move forward. Arkansas is taking a different approach, with Governor Asa Hutchinson signing a new version of the bill recognizing a diverse workforce and a diverse culture. What do you think of the new additions to the law? Do they fix the problems associated with each? 
3	Is It Time to Pack Your Bags America?Dave Hodges, Contributor If you answered in the affirmative to most of these questions, it might be time to start packing your bags and looking for greener pastures. Americans Are Voting With Their Feet Are you tired of living under relative tyranny where every email is read, every phone call is listened to and your every movement is tracked by a number of electronic devices? Americans are leaving the country at breakneck speed and the annual rate of expatriation is growing as over 150,000 Americans departed the former land of liberty for greener pastures overseas in the past year. In total, over five million Americans are choosing to live outside the United States. Just why are Americans leaving this land of freedom and opportunity in record numbers, with no end in sight? Unaffordable College Education Costs The Education Policy Institute assessed the affordability of higher education costs and found that the United States ranks 13th in higher education affordability. Even if young adults obtain their degree, those who are degreed and/or skilled in fields such as engineering or information technology skills, are really wasting their time working in the United States. Eight of the worlds ten highest-paying countries for information technology (IT) managers are in Western Europe, according to a new survey by Mercer Human Resource Consulting. The survey found that Swiss managers are paid the most, followed by those in Germany and Denmark. In fact, IT management is another field where U.S. workers fail to crack the top ten in income, theUnited States ranks 14th in IT management compensation. Even debt-ridden Spain, Italy and Greece pay their IT managers more than what Americans earn on average. Americans Retire Comfortably Nothing could be further from the truth. America, you are not getting the best pension packagecompared to other Western nations as America ranks dead last in overall pension benefits. And this is in the backdrop of the nothing-to-lose, second term Obama Administration, is preparing to seize your 401k pensions. America, your money is not even safe in the bank as witnessed by the fact that the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals who just ruled that banks can steal the money of its depositors and it is legal! This would have been a SHTF moment in every other Western country, but Americans are taking this grand theft on their backsides, sipping a beer and rooting for their favorite American Bachelor. There are no golden years in America unless you are in the infamous 1%. Americans Have the Most Freedoms Anyone who believes this fiction needs to turn off their TV and start reading the summaries of Executive Orders and passed Congressional legislation. With the PATRIOT Acts, the NDAA and several other draconian pieces of legislation designed to protect us from the bogey men we call terrorists, we have lost Habeus Corpus, we are losing our free speech rights to the United Nations and every form of due process that we once cherished under our Constitution. And if you dont like the unfolding criminal enterprise which suddenly appeared before our collective eyes, the bankers have rolled out a technocratic police state which would make Stalin and Hitler envious. Both the police state and impending martial law are bolstered by the fact that the Department of Homeland Security has purchased 1.6 billion rounds, oops, make that 2.2 billion rounds of high tech bullets engraved with the names of citizens who dare to oppose this tyranny! America Is Still the Land of Opportunity First and foremost, Americans no longer live in the highest salary paying country in the world. In fact, the United States does not even crack the top ten list of the highest salary paying countries on the planet in which Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Japan, Norway, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom round out the top ten and pay their workers more than workers in the United States. In fact, the United States only ranks 20th in terms of overall gross pay! One would be very naive to call America the land of opportunity. The Highest Taxes In the World Overwhelmingly, the number one reason that Americans are fleeing the country is because of high taxes.The income tax rate rose this year to 39.6% from 35% for individuals earning more than $400,000 a year and married couples earning more than $450,000. As of this year, 77% of Americans will pay higher federal tax rates because the cuts in Social Security payroll taxes expired when Congress passed its tax package on New Years Day. The Tax Policy Center estimates that those who earn more than $1 million would pay an average of $170,341 more in taxes. State taxes are also rising as evidenced by the state of California which enacted Proposition 30, that effectively raised state income tax rates to 10.3% from 9.3% for individuals making at least $250,000 and 13.3% from 10.3% for those earning at least $1 million. Golfer Phil Mickelson publicly voiced his concern over the tax increases and threatened to leave California because of the higher rates. Expatriation does favor the rich. Consider the following examples. If you are wealthy and make, say, $1 million per year, you would save $396,000 in annual taxes by relocating to Monaco based upon the highest tax bracket of 39.6%. However, if you are a person of average means and only make about $50,000 per year, you would save $12,500 in annual taxes based upon being in the 25% tax bracket. If tax reduction is your primary reason for putting the U.S. in the rear view mirror, you will be financially ahead regardless of your income. Of course, one has to have an income to benefit from a potential move. In other words, if you are the owner of an Obama phone, you are better off staying in the country. To rub salt in the proverbial wound, the U.S. is one of the few nations that taxes its citizens regardless of where they live in the world. As long as you remain a U.S. citizen, you will be taxed on your income even if youre living abroad. At Least We Have Our Health Our education is substandard, our earning power is substandard, our tax rates are exorbitant and we increasingly live in a rapidly emerging police state. But at least we have our health. Unfortunately, that is not quite true as the United States spends more than the next 12 nations for health care. However, it seems as if we are spending more and enjoying it less as, despite our exorbitant spending on health care, the United States ranks 50th in the world in life expectancy. Cuba, Puerto Rico and Spain have higher life expectancies than the United States. Americans live in the only country in the world where its citizens cannot bargain shop for its medicines in foreign countries because the pharmaceuticals have convinced Congress to establish a pharmaceutical monopoly over U.S. citizens. Death by doctor has increased to 225,000 per year. And with Obamacare death panels looming on the near horizon, things can only get worse. Some Things To Consider Before You Leave As Americans face crushingly higher taxes and increasingly draconian enforcement tactics, an increasingly greater number of Americans are choosing to flee for greener pastures. It is actually fairly easy to renounce ones own U.S. citizenship. The U.S. Department of State regulations state that the potential expatriate must appear in person before a U.S. consular or diplomatic officer, in a foreign country and sign an oath of renunciation. One should consider their renunciation action carefully because it is irrevocable once declared. However, nothing is quite as simple as it appears when dealing with our criminal government that has been hijacked by the bankers. If you try and leave America, your will be assessed a 15% exit fee. Yes, that is correct, you are penalized for exercising the privilege to leave the country. Do you remember as children we were taught to make fun of the Soviet Union for building fences to keep their citizens in? By the way, Russia has a flat 13% tax rate. Where To Go? I predict that under this pathetic president and our insider-trading Congress, millions are going to be looking to leave the country. It is my belief that if the number of expatriates grows much beyond present levels, the government will enact policies to make it increasingly more difficult to leave the country. Where would you go? What factors would you consider when choosing a relocation country? Leave a comment below and lets begin a dialogue on if, indeed, it is time to leave the former home of the free?

Now, it looks like they are about to get a taste of their own medicine. According to reports, a class action lawsuit has just been filed against the network for racism. The suit claims that there are dramatic differences in pay, harsher evaluations for black males and fewer available promotions at CNN. The $50-million-dollar lawsuit is being brought by DeWayne Walker, who claims the network has been promoting his white colleagues over him for 13 years. A new lawsuit was also opened up during an investigation. As a result of the current discrimination lawsuit filed on behalf of DeWayne Walker vs. CNN, Tim Warner Turner, we have uncovered stories involving abuse of power, nepotism, revenge, retaliation, and discrimination, Walkers lawyer claims. Henley, another reporter who is also part of the lawsuit, claims that she has been forced to work longer hours than her co-workers and also faces regular discrimination. Upon information and belief, African-American employees have had to endure racial slurs and prejudicial biases from superiors such as, its hard to manage black people and who would be worth more: black slaves from times past or new slaves, the lawsuit claims.

We believe there is an untapped market in Jacksonville for real American football played between two high-caliber teams, said Goodell, who noted that there is actually another sport in Jacksonville that they call football, but it mostly involves the ball rolling around on the ground. This could be a great way of introducing the league to a city that has never experienced the excitement of an authentic NFL game. And if it goes well, who knows?

Once the wealthiest city in America, known as the arsenal of democracy, Detroit was the fourth largest city in the U.S. in the 1960s with a population of two million. Now a microcosm of everything that is wrong with the American economy, Detroit has become nothing more than a devastated landscape of urban decay with a current population of 713,000. Visiting Detroit is the closest Americans can come to viewing what appears to be a war torn city without leaving the U.S. This former powerhouse is a barren stretch of land, devastated by looters and and full of run-down, vacant houses. Rows upon rows of dilapidated structures line the streets; empty apartment buildings and factories consume the landscape. Almost a third of Detroit has been abandoned. Third world conditions prevail in many areas of Detroit today. There are many areas of the city that you simply would not want to ever visit at night. The following is what one enterprising British reporter found during his visit to Detroit. Much of Detroit is horribly dangerous for its own residents, who in many cases only stay because they have nowhere else to go. Property crime is double the American average, violent crime triple. The isolated, peeling homes, the flooded roads, the clunky, rusted old cars and the neglected front yards amid trees and groin-high grassland make you think you are in rural Alabama, not in one of the greatest industrial cities that ever existed. In Detroit today there are large numbers of three and four-bedroom homes that you can buy for next to nothing. Most of them are boarded up and abandoned. Nobody wants to live in them anymore. The graduation rate in Detroit is down to about 25 percent, and the city has become a breeding ground for crime and gangs. The jobs that have left Detroit are not coming back. A lot of this can be blamed on the foolish free trade economic agenda being pushed by both major political parties. For example, auto parts exports from China have increased by more than 900 percent since the year 2000. But not all the jobs that have left Detroit have gone overseas. A lot of businesses have simply moved their manufacturing facilities to more business-friendly areas over the past several decades. When politicians just keep pushing the business community over and over, eventually many businesses will start to leave for greener pastures. Today, there are hordes of formerly great cities all over the rust belt that have lost their economic infrastructure. But instead of changing strategies, many of them just keep on doing the same old things and hope that somehow things will turn around. It is also very depressing to watch what is happening to the entire state of California.Over the past 20 years, the state has experienced a net loss of approximately four million residents to other states. As I wrote about recently, there are a whole host of good reasons to move away from California, but certainly the twisted control freak socialists running the state are one of the primary reasons why so many families are hightailing it out of there. California just keeps implementing more ridiculous anti-business and anti-family regulations. The following is a brief excerpt from a recent Wall Street Journal article. And things will only get worse in the coming years as Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown and his green cadre implement their smart growth plans to cram the proletariat into high-density housing. What I find reprehensible beyond belief is that the people pushing [high-density housing] themselves live in single-family homes and often drive very fancy cars, but want everyone else to live like my grandmother did in Brownsville in Brooklyn in the 1920s, Mr. Kotkin declares. The new regimehis name for progressive apparatchiks who run Californias governmentwants to destroy the essential reason why people move to California in order to protect their own lifestyles. Housing is merely one front of what he calls the progressive war on the middle class. Another is the cap-and-trade law AB32, which will raise the cost of energy and drive out manufacturing jobs without making even a dent in global carbon emissions. Then there are the renewable portfolio standards, which mandate that a third of the states energy come from renewable sources like wind and the sun by 2020. Californias electricity prices are already 50% higher than the national average. The funny thing is that Barack Obama likes to point to California as an example of where he wants to take the entire nation. But a recent Daily Beast article noted how foolish it would be to follow the path that California has chosen. Obama regularly asserts that green jobs will play a crucial role in the future of the American economy, but California, a trend-setter in the field, has yet to reap such benefits. Green jobs, broadly defined, make up only about 2 percent of jobs in the stateabout the same proportion as in Texas. In Silicon Valley, the number of green jobs actually declined between 2003 and 2010. Meanwhile, Californias unemployment rate of 10.9 percent is the nations third highest, behind only Nevada and Rhode Island. When Governor Jerry Brown predicted a half-million green jobs by the end of the decade, even The New York Times deemed it a pipe dream. Obamas push to nationalize many of Californias economy-stifling green policies has been slowed down, first by the Republican resurgence in 2010 and then by his reelection considerations. But Californias politicians, living in whats become essentially a one-party state, have doubled down on green orthodoxy. As the president at least tries to cover his flank by claiming to support an all-in energy policy, California has simply refused to exploit much of its massive oil and gas resources. The funny thing is that California is one of the least green places in America. According to a recent article by Les Christie, the five most polluted cities in America are all in California. So perhaps that should clean up their own act before trying to export their philosophies to the rest of the nation. As businesses and families leave California in waves, the state is finding itself in a lot of financial trouble. Once again, the state is facing a much larger than anticipated financial hole in 2012. So far this year tax receipts are way, way down as a recent Bloomberg article noted. California personal-income-tax collections in April are falling short of Governor Jerry Browns projection by more than $2 billion, data from Controller John Chiang show. The state is already facing a $9.2 billion deficit through June 2013. With two days to be counted, the state has taken in $6.74 billion since April 1, according to a daily tally on Chiangs website. Browns projection for the month was $9.13 billion. But as mentioned above, Barack Obama wants the rest of the country to become much more like California. With each passing day, the United States is becoming even more socialist, and both major political parties are facilitating this transition. For example, back in the year 2000 social welfare benefits made up approximately 21 percent of all salaries and wages in the United States. In 2012, social welfare benefits make up approximately 35 percent of all salaries and wages in the United States. That is a mind blowing shift in just 12 years. It would be easy to blame Obama for that, but the Republicans actually had control of the White House for most of that time period. The truth is that both George W. Bush and Barack Obama have steadily moved America in the direction of big government and socialism. And at the White House Correspondents Dinner the other night, Obama joked about the European-style socialism that he has planned for his second term. He joked that it will include more government handouts, a life of government dependencies, indoctrinating our children, a left wing social agenda among other things. Is it really a laughing matter that the entire country is going down the same path that California and Detroit have gone? Hasnt enough damage already been done to our economy? According to a recent Gallup poll, only 60 percent of all Americans say that they have enough money to live comfortably. That was the lowest level Gallup has ever recorded. How much worse do things have to get before the American people decide that it is time for a fundamental change of direction? linkwithin_text=Related Articles:

3	Fmr. Asst. Treasury Secretary: Economic Collapse NearingPaul Craig Roberts In other words, financial deregulation leading to Wall Streets gambles, the US governments decision to bail out the banks and to keep them afloat, and the Federal Reserves zero interest rate policy have put the economic future of the US and its currency in an untenable and dangerous position. It will not be possible to continue to flood the bond markets with $1.5 trillion in new issues each year when the interest rate on the bonds is less than the rate of inflation. Everyone who purchases a Treasury bond is purchasing a depreciating asset. Moreover, the capital risk of investing in Treasuries is very high. The low interest rate means that the price paid for the bond is very high. A rise in interest rates, which must come sooner or later, will collapse the price of the bonds and inflict capital losses on bond holders, both domestic and foreign. The question is: when is sooner or later? The purpose of this article is to examine that question. Let us begin by answering the question: how has such an untenable policy managed to last this long? A number of factors are contributing to the stability of the dollar and the bond market. A very important factor is the situation in Europe. There are real problems there as well, and the financial press keeps our focus on Greece, Europe, and the euro. Will Greece exit the European Union or be kicked out? Will the sovereign debt problem spread to Spain, Italy, and essentially everywhere except for Germany and the Netherlands? The Treasury bond market is also helped by the fear individual investors have of the equity market, which has been turned into a gambling casino by high-frequency trading. High-frequency trading is electronic trading based on mathematical models that make the decisions. Investment firms compete on the basis of speed, capturing gains on a fraction of a penny, and perhaps holding positions for only a few seconds. These are not long-term investors. Content with their daily earnings, they close out all positions at the end of each day. High-frequency trades now account for 70-80% of all equity trades. The result is major heartburn for traditional investors, who are leaving the equity market. They end up in Treasuries, because they are unsure of the solvency of banks who pay next to nothing for deposits, whereas 10-year Treasuries will pay about 2% nominal, which means, using the official Consumer Price Index, that they are losing 1% of their capital each year. Using John Williams (shadowstats.com) correct measure of inflation, they are losing far more. Still, the loss is about 2 percentage points less than being in a bank, and unlike banks, the Treasury can have the Federal Reserve print the money to pay off its bonds. Therefore, bond investment at least returns the nominal amount of the investment, even if its real value is much lower. (For a description of High-frequency trading, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_frequency_trading ) The presstitute financial media tells us that flight from European sovereign debt, from the doomed euro, and from the continuing real estate disaster into US Treasuries provides funding for Washingtons $1.5 trillion annual deficits. Investors influenced by the financial press might be responding in this way. Another explanation for the stability of the Feds untenable policy is collusion between Washington, the Fed, and Wall Street. We will be looking at this as we progress. Unlike Japan, whose national debt is the largest of all, Americans do not own their own public debt. Much of US debt is owned abroad, especially by China, Japan, and OPEC, the oil exporting countries. This places the US economy in foreign hands. If China, for example, were to find itself unduly provoked by Washington, China could dump up to $2 trillion in US dollar-dominated assets on world markets. All sorts of prices would collapse, and the Fed would have to rapidly create the money to buy up the Chinese dumping of dollar-denominated financial instruments. The dollars printed to purchase the dumped Chinese holdings of US dollar assets would expand the supply of dollars in currency markets and drive down the dollar exchange rate. The Fed, lacking foreign currencies with which to buy up the dollars would have to appeal for currency swaps to sovereign debt troubled Europe for euros, to Russia, surrounded by the US missile system, for rubles, to Japan, a country over its head in American commitment, for yen, in order to buy up the dollars with euros, rubles, and yen. These currency swaps would be on the books, unredeemable and making additional use of such swaps problematical. In other words, even if the US government can pressure its allies and puppets to swap their harder currencies for a depreciating US currency, it would not be a repeatable process. The components of the American Empire dont want to be in dollars any more than do the BRICS. However, for China, for example, to dump its dollar holdings all at once would be costly as the value of the dollar-denominated assets would decline as they dumped them. Unless China is faced with US military attack and needs to defang the aggressor, China as a rational economic actor would prefer to slowly exit the US dollar. Neither do Japan, Europe, nor OPEC wish to destroy their own accumulated wealth from Americas trade deficits by dumping dollars, but the indications are that they all wish to exit their dollar holdings. Unlike the US financial press, the foreigners who hold dollar assets look at the annual US budget and trade deficits, look at the sinking US economy, look at Wall Streets uncovered gambling bets, look at the war plans of the delusional hegemon and conclude: Ive got to carefully get out of this. US banks also have a strong interest in preserving the status quo. They are holders of US Treasuries and potentially even larger holders. They can borrow from the Federal Reserve at zero interest rates and purchase 10-year Treasuries at 2%, thus earning a nominal profit of 2% to offset derivative losses. The banks can borrow dollars from the Fed for free and leverage them in derivative transactions. As Nomi Prins puts it, the US banks dont want to trade against themselves and their free source of funding by selling their bond holdings. Moreover, in the event of foreign flight from dollars, the Fed could boost the foreign demand for dollars by requiring foreign banks that want to operate in the US to increase their reserve amounts, which are dollar based. I could go on, but I believe this is enough to show that even actors in the process who could terminate it have themselves a big stake in not rocking the boat and prefer to quietly and slowly sneak out of dollars before the crisis hits. This is not possible indefinitely as the process of gradual withdrawal from the dollar would result in continuous small declines in dollar values that would end in a rush to exit, but Americans are not the only delusional people. The very process of slowly getting out can bring the American house down. The BRICSBrazil, the largest economy in South America, Russia, the nuclear armed and energy independent economy on which Western Europe (Washingtons NATO puppets) are dependent for energy, India, nuclear armed and one of Asias two rising giants, China, nuclear armed, Washingtons largest creditor (except for the Fed), supplier of Americas manufactured and advanced technology products, and the new bogyman for the military-security complexs next profitable cold war, and South Africa, the largest economy in Africaare in the process of forming a new bank. The new bank will permit the five large economies to conduct their trade without use of the US dollar. In addition, Japan, an American puppet state since WWII, is on the verge of entering into an agreement with China in which the Japanese yen and the Chinese yuan will be directly exchanged. The trade between the two Asian countries would be conducted in their own currencies without the use of the US dollar. This reduces the cost of foreign trade between the two countries, because it eliminates payments for foreign exchange commissions to convert from yen and yuan into dollars and back into yen and yuan. Moreover, this official explanation for the new direct relationship avoiding the US dollar is simply diplomacy speaking. The Japanese are hoping, like the Chinese, to get out of the practice of accumulating ever more dollars by having to park their trade surpluses in US Treasuries. The Japanese US puppet government hopes that the Washington hegemon does not require the Japanese government to nix the deal with China. Now we have arrived at the nitty and gritty. The small percentage of Americans who are aware and informed are puzzled why the banksters have escaped with their financial crimes without prosecution. The answer might be that the banks too big to fail are adjuncts of Washington and the Federal Reserve in maintaining the stability of the dollar and Treasury bond markets in the face of an untenable Fed policy. Let us first look at how the big banks can keep the interest rates on Treasuries low, below the rate of inflation, despite the constant increase in US debt as a percent of GDPthus preserving the Treasurys ability to service the debt. The imperiled banks too big to fail have a huge stake in low interest rates and the success of the Feds policy. The big banks are positioned to make the Feds policy a success. JPMorgan Chase and other giant-sized banks can drive down Treasury interest rates and, thereby, drive up the prices of bonds, producing a rally, by selling Interest Rate Swaps (IRSwaps). A financial company that sells IRSwaps is selling an agreement to pay floating interest rates for fixed interest rates. The buyer is purchasing an agreement that requires him to pay a fixed rate of interest in exchange for receiving a floating rate. The reason for a seller to take the short side of the IRSwap, that is, to pay a floating rate for a fixed rate, is his belief that rates are going to fall. Short-selling can make the rates fall, and thus drive up the prices of Treasuries. When this happens, as these charts illustrate, there is a rally in the Treasury bond market that the presstitute financial media attributes to flight to the safe haven of the US dollar and Treasury bonds. In fact, the circumstantial evidence (see the charts in the link above) is that the swaps are sold by Wall Street whenever the Federal Reserve needs to prevent a rise in interest rates in order to protect its otherwise untenable policy. The swap sales create the impression of a flight to the dollar, but no actual flight occurs. As the IRSwaps require no exchange of any principal or real asset, and are only a bet on interest rate movements, there is no limit to the volume of IRSwaps. This apparent collusion suggests to some observers that the reason the Wall Street banksters have not been prosecuted for their crimes is that they are an essential part of the Federal Reserves policy to preserve the US dollar as world currency. Possibly the collusion between the Federal Reserve and the banks is organized, but it doesnt have to be. The banks are beneficiaries of the Feds zero interest rate policy. It is in the banks interest to support it. Organized collusion is not required. Let us now turn to gold and silver bullion. Based on sound analysis, Gerald Celente and other gifted seers predicted that the price of gold would be $2000 per ounce by the end of last year. Gold and silver bullion continued during 2011 their ten-year rise, but in 2012 the price of gold and silver have been knocked down, with gold being $350 per ounce off its $1900 high. In view of the analysis that I have presented, what is the explanation for the reversal in bullion prices? The answer again is shorting. Some knowledgeable people within the financial sector believe that the Federal Reserve (and perhaps also the European Central Bank) places short sales of bullion through the investment banks, guaranteeing any losses by pushing a key on the computer keyboard, as central banks can create money out of thin air. Insiders inform me that as a tiny percent of those on the buy side of short sells actually want to take delivery on the gold or silver bullion, and are content with the financial money settlement, there is no limit to short selling of gold and silver. Short selling can actually exceed the known quantity of gold and silver. Some who have been watching the process for years believe that government-directed short-selling has been going on for a long time. Even without government participation, banks can control the volume of paper trading in gold and profit on the swings that they create. Recently short selling is so aggressive that it not merely slows the rise in bullion prices but drives the price down. Is this aggressiveness a sign that the rigged system is on the verge of becoming unglued? In other words, our government, which allegedly represents us, rather than the powerful private interests who elect our government with their multi-million dollar campaign contributions, now legitimized by the Republican Supreme Court, is doing its best to deprive us mere citizens, slaves, indentured servants, and domestic extremists from protecting ourselves and our remaining wealth from the currency debauchery policy of the Federal Reserve. Naked short selling prevents the rising demand for physical bullion from raising bullions price. Jeff Nielson explains another way that banks can sell bullion shorts when they own no bullion. (See, http://www.gold-eagle.com/editorials_08/nielson102411.html) Nielson says that JP Morgan is the custodian for the largest long silver fund while being the largest short-seller of silver. Whenever the silver fund adds to its bullion holdings, JP Morgan shorts an equal amount. The short selling offsets the rise in price that would result from the increase in demand for physical silver. Nielson also reports that bullion prices can be suppressed by raising margin requirements on those who purchase bullion with leverage. The conclusion is that bullion markets can be manipulated just as can the Treasury bond market and interest rates. How long can the manipulations continue? When will the proverbial hit the fan? If we knew precisely the date, we would be the next mega-billionaires. Here are some of the catalysts waiting to ignite the conflagration that burns up the Treasury bond market and the US dollar: A war, demanded by the Israeli government, with Iran, beginning with Syria, that disrupts the oil flow and thereby the stability of the Western economies or brings the US and its weak NATO puppets into armed conflict with Russia and China. The oil spikes would degrade further the US and EU economies, but Wall Street would make money on the trades. An unfavorable economic statistic that wakes up investors as to the true state of the US economy, a statistic that the presstitute media cannot deflect. An affront to China, whose government decides that knocking the US down a few pegs into third world status is worth a trillion dollars. More derivate mistakes, such as JPMorgan Chases recent one, that send the US financial system again reeling and reminds us that nothing has changed. The list is long. There is a limit to how many stupid mistakes and corrupt financial policies the rest of the world is willing to accept from the US. When that limit is reached, it is all over for the worlds sole superpower and for holders of dollar-denominated instruments. Financial deregulation converted the financial system, which formerly served businesses and consumers, into a gambling casino where bets are not covered. These uncovered bets, together with the Feds zero interest rate policy, have exposed Americans living standard and wealth to large declines. Retired people living on their savings and investments, IRAs and 401(k)s can earn nothing on their money and are forced to consume their capital, thereby depriving heirs of inheritance. Accumulated wealth is consumed. As a result of jobs offshoring, the US has become an import-dependent country, dependent on foreign made manufactured goods, clothing, and shoes. When the dollar exchange rate falls, domestic US prices will rise, and US real consumption will take a big hit. Americans will consume less, and their standard of living will fall dramatically. The serious consequences of the enormous mistakes made in Washington, on Wall Street, and in corporate offices are being held at bay by an untenable policy of low interest rates and a corrupt financial press, while debt rapidly builds. The Fed has been through this experience once before. During WW II the Federal Reserve kept interest rates low in order to aid the Treasurys war finance by minimizing the interest burden of the war debt. The Fed kept the interest rates low by buying the debt issues. The postwar inflation that resulted led to the Federal Reserve-Treasury Accord in 1951, in which agreement was reached that the Federal Reserve would cease monetizing the debt and permit interest rates to rise. Fed chairman Bernanke has spoken of an exit strategy and said that when inflation threatens, he can prevent the inflation by taking the money back out of the banking system. However, he can do that only by selling Treasury bonds, which means interest rates would rise. A rise in interest rates would threaten the derivative structure, cause bond losses, and raise the cost of both private and public debt service. In other words, to prevent inflation from debt monetization would bring on more immediate problems than inflation. Rather than collapse the system, wouldnt the Fed be more likely to inflate away the massive debts? Eventually, inflation would erode the dollars purchasing power and use as the reserve currency, and the US governments credit worthiness would waste away. However, the Fed, the politicians, and the financial gangsters would prefer a crisis later rather than sooner. Passing the sinking ship on to the next watch is preferable to going down with the ship oneself. As long as interest rate swaps can be used to boost Treasury bond prices, and as long as naked shorts of bullion can be used to keep silver and gold from rising in price, the false image of the US as a safe haven for investors can be perpetrated. However, the $230,000,000,000,000 in derivative bets by US banks might bring its own surprises. JPMorgan Chase has had to admit that its recently announced derivative loss of $2 billion is more than that. How much more remains to be seen. According to the Comptroller of the Currency http://www.occ.treas.gov/topics/capital-markets/financial-markets/trading/derivatives/dq411.pdf the five largest banks hold 95.7% of all derivatives. The five banks holding $226 trillion in derivative bets are highly leveraged gamblers. For example, JPMorgan Chase has total assets of $1.8 trillion but holds $70 trillion in derivative bets, a ratio of $39 in derivative bets for every dollar of assets. Such a bank doesnt have to lose very many bets before it is busted. Assets, of course, are not risk-based capital. According to the Comptroller of the Currency report, as of December 31, 2011, JPMorgan Chase held $70.2 trillion in derivatives and only $136 billion in risk-based capital. In other words, the banks derivative bets are 516 times larger than the capital that covers the bets. It is difficult to imagine a more reckless and unstable position for a bank to place itself in, but Goldman Sachs takes the cake. That banks $44 trillion in derivative bets is covered by only $19 billion in risk-based capital, resulting in bets 2,295 times larger than the capital that covers them. Bets on interest rates comprise 81% of all derivatives. These are the derivatives that support high US Treasury bond prices despite massive increases in US debt and its monetization. US banks derivative bets of $230 trillion, concentrated in five banks, are 15.3 times larger than the US GDP. A failed political system that allows unregulated banks to place uncovered bets 15 times larger than the US economy is a system that is headed for catastrophic failure. As the word spreads of the fantastic lack of judgment in the American political and financial systems, the catastrophe in waiting will become a reality. Everyone wants a solution, so I will provide one. The US government should simply cancel the $230 trillion in derivative bets, declaring them null and void. As no real assets are involved, merely gambling on notional values, the only major effect of closing out or netting all the swaps (mostly over-the-counter contracts between counter-parties) would be to take $230 trillion of leveraged risk out of the financial system. The financial gangsters who want to continue enjoying betting gains while the public underwrites their losses would scream and yell about the sanctity of contracts. However, a government that can murder its own citizens or throw them into dungeons without due process can abolish all the contracts it wants in the name of national security. And most certainly, unlike the war on terror, purging the financial system of the gambling derivatives would vastly improve national security.

3	The Formula of War vs. a Pandemic of FreedomBy Jon Rappoport Follow the bouncing ball all the way to the end, which is a beginning. Making war makes money. Winning a war makes more money. The desire to keep making war requires building up and maintaining a standing army. When many nations are pursuing this general course, the threat-need for maintaining a standing army rises to a new level. The need, for the sake of defense and preparedness, to strengthen armies is exactly what war makers exploit. Dismantling this whole operation, by scaling back foreign military bases, withdrawing troops, and setting boundaries and no-go zones is anathema to war makers. If JFK, as a few scholars suggest, was planning to get out of Vietnam, and if he was also in the process of planning space missions with Russia, these would have been ample reasons for his assassination. Everyone has his favorite reason for JFKs murderhe wanted to take money-creation out of the hands of the Federal Reserve; he was about to blow the whistle on UFO secrets; he was on the verge of destroying the CIA; he signed the 1963 nuclear test ban treaty with Russia; he and his brother were trying to destroy the Mafia; JFK was about to lay taxes on multi-billion-dollar Liberian shipping operations; anti-Castro Cubans hated him because he failed to back the Bay of Pigs invasion; he was determined to push forward an ocean-turbine technology for the generation of electricity. Everyone who has a reason for JFKs murder is quite sure it is the primary or only reason. If withdrawal from Vietnam was one reason, it speaks to the sensitivity of the war machine and its allied industries. If international peace broke out, what would happen to the US economy? To be more precise, what would happen to those corporations who depend on the largest government military contracts? To be even more precise, what would happen to these corporations, who depend on government taxes and money invented out of thin air by elite government-backed banks? Those corporations would imagine new enterprises or crash. And? The nation would have to find another way to have an economy. Would this signal, beyond the chaos, the end of the world? No. Along a similar front, if gangs were wiped out, along with drug cartels, and if the main terrorist groups were isolated, attacked, and defunded (cut off from drug money, diverted government tax money and elite invented money), other sectors of the economy would take a hit, but again, the world would not end. Along a similar front, if corporations who manufacture and sell poison (e.g., drug companies, pesticide companies) were punished to the full extent of the law, and even disbanded, the economy would take another hit, but again, the world would not end. Along a similar front, if cheating, lying, and thieving banks and allied Wall St. firms were punished to the full extent of the law, and even disbanded, the world would not end. What would the new emerging economy look like? That would depend on the imagination, and challenging work, done by individuals (not governments) who see new possibilities. That would depend on people who attempt to wake up a population muddled in passive acceptance of whatever consumer products are shoved down their throats. Yes, I know all this speculation sounds like dreaming impossible dreams. But while Im at it, here is another one: what would happen if everything Ive written so far in this article became the subject of reasoned debate in colleges? Im talking about serious lengthy debate about a new economy. Several things would happen. First, it would come to light that the overwhelming number of students are intellectually incapable of carrying on such a dialogue. That in itself would rank as an inconvenient truth. Students dont learn how to think in a rational fashion. They know next to nothing about logic. Most of them arent even aware of what a line of reasoning looks like. They cant follow such a line. Second, it would become obvious that the overwhelming number of students are incapable of conceiving a new economy that is not spearheaded and controlled by government. Students are brainwashed into thinking that all significant change must come from above. It must be planned. It must be designed to produce some vague outcome called equality. This preference for central government control and planning is sustained even though, with a little thought, its clear that government has been the driving (and permissive) criminal force that protects the very economy that is causing all the trouble. Third, it would become obvious that the faculties of colleges are also intellectually incapable of carrying on this debate. They, too, have been trained to ignore logic. Theyve also been trained to push a values-laden agenda that celebrates centrally planned collectivist economies. Fourth, the idea that free and independent and creative individuals could spearhead a new economy seems outrageous, preposterous, and even illegal to the mass of students and professors. For them, all non-group-associated individuals, viewed in any light, are, a priori, greedy criminals. So actually, this article isnt about creating a new economy. Its about the barriers to a rational, extensive, lengthy dialogue and debate about the creation of a new economy. A dialogue, by the way, that goes beyond what might be contained in cell phone texting or tweeting. How shocking. Here is just one idea that might spring up in the kind of dialogue Im talking about. Urban farms. They already exist, of course. In each case, they began as an idea in the mind of one individual. They didnt spring to life, originally, when six people, walking down the street, suddenly turned to each other and said, Urban farms. These are very large operations that grow food crops for residents of cities, especially those who cant afford good food. The people themselves learn to grow the crops. What would happen, what would be the consequence of, say, 10,000 urban farms across America? What would this do for the health and morale of people in cities? How would profit be made? And, peripherally, why is it that local, state, and federal government havent backed such an ideafor an infinitesimal fraction of the money they spend on alleviating poverty; money that, by the way, seems to make things worse. Again, peripherally, what would happen if thousands of college students, who matriculate on privileged campuses and yap endlessly about their lack of privilege, instead turned their victimhood-energies to starting urban farms and working in them? Would the world end? Would the sky fall? The same questions could be asked about the students professors, many of whom are merely paid propagandists of the State. There are all sorts of interesting questions that could arise in a real debate/dialogue. Heres another one: what would a world without Monsanto or Merck actually look like? Or: what would America look like with an army dedicated only to defense of the nation? Such a dialogue could lead to action. Many separate actions. What a thought. Would the world end? Would the sky fall? You want more? Pay particular and close attention to this one. What would happen, if one state in the union decided that anyone could offer health advice and non-harmful, non-toxic treatment to another person, for any ailment or illness, without control from above, without the need for government licensing? Suppose this arrangement, between consenting adults, was done by contract, not license? Suppose both parties asserted that no liability or blame would be attached to the outcome of such advice or treatment? In other words, God forbid, the citizens would actually take responsibility for themselves. Do you think many citizens and practitioners might flock to such a state? Do you think an economic bonanza might explode in that state? Do you think the outbreak of freedom might raise the morale in that area? Do you think improved health might result? Do you think other states might follow suit, merely by removing, at no cost, their grotesque rules and licensing/enforcement bureaus? Would you be afraid of such an arrangement, understanding the fact that current orthodox medicine, as licensed and practiced throughout the land, results in widespread pharmaceutical devastation? Shown a projection of the foreseeable economic bonanza from the new arrangement I just outlined, do you think there is at least one state in the US that might throw irrational caution to the winds and enact this program of health freedom? In the kind of extended dialogue Im talking about here, individuals come up with lots of interesting ideasideas that could very well lead to action. And in the process, the nightmare zombie cloud of government control and meddling takes major hits. All its operations aimed at interfering with freedom are exposed. The crud washes off. The unconscionable dreck drains away. People start actually thinking again. They start imagining again. They feel their chains slipping away. They come out of the collective dream. They experience cascades of new energy. They think about entrepreneurship in a new way. They think about morality and ethics in a new way. They re-find themselves. Does the sky fall? Does the world end? No. It begins. Perhaps (miracle of miracles) the quantity of self-invented victims begins to diminish. Perhaps untold numbers of people floating along in a New Age daze (because they see no way out of the dilemmas and conflicts of our time) rise up from their plastic lotus pads, sensing a genuine impulse of hope and desire for the first time in many years. Their own hope. Their own desire. Perhaps millions of people trapped in dead-end robotic work feel a creak in the psychological and spiritual machinery that surrounds them, as it begins to malfunction and split apart. Perhaps moon-blown, full-bore, doctrinal collectivist freaks feel a few pin pricks in the purple bloated corpse of their one-size-fits-all planetary vision. Who knows what might happen if a true ongoing dialogue about a new economy persisted long enough? If a person is dead inside and doesnt want to be dead inside, he has to ask himself (paraphrasing Clint Eastwood) this question: Did he fire six shots into his psyche or only five? If only five, can he fire that last bullet into the passive trance that keeps him in thrall to Control Central? Waking up may be hard to do, but its also contagious. If a college dared to offer a four-year course which consisted entirely of the dialogue/debate Im proposing, carried out along respectful lines, omitting and barring the screaming opponents of free speech, who knows what might happen? As William Blake wrote, If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise. As the dialogue proceeds, all sorts of foolish ideas would come to light and unravel, and turn into other ideas, and those ideas would transmute into useful ideas, out of which would be born a few brilliant ideasand on it would go. And the process itself would act as a catalyst for every person within listening range. His own imagination would rev up. He would discover his own future path. Would that be a calamity? Would the sky fall? Would the world end? Or would the dawn finally break? Its instructive to read what authors wrote about core values a hundred or two hundred years ago, because then you can appreciate what has happened to the culture of a nation. You can grasp the enormous influence of planned propaganda, which changes minds, builds new consensus, and exiles certain disruptive thinkers to the margins of society. You can see what has been painted over, with great intent, in order to promote tyranny that proclaims a greater good for all. Here are several statements about the individual, written in 19th century America. The authors, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and James Fenimore Cooper were prominent figures. Emerson, in his time, was the most famous. All greatness of character is dependent on individuality. The man who has no other existence than that which he partakes in common with all around him, will never have any other than an existence of mediocrity. James Fenimore Cooper The less government we have, the better, the fewer laws, and the less confided power. The antidote to this abuse of [by] formal Government, is, the influence of private character, the growth of the Individual. Ralph Waldo Emerson The former generations acted under the belief that a shining social prosperity was the beatitude of man, and sacrificed uniformly the citizen to the State. The modern mind believed that the nation existed for the individual, for the guardianship and education of every man. This idea, roughly written in revolutions and national movements, in the mind of the philosopher had far more precision; the individual is the world. Ralph Waldo Emerson If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. Henry David Thoreau They [conformists] think society wiser than their soul, and know not that one soul, and their soul, is wiser than the whole worldSociety everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members.Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Ralph Waldo Emerson Can you imagine, today, any of these statements gaining traction in the public mind, much less the mainstream media? In the public mind? Yes, I can. The world, as it is presented to us, is a shrunken mural in which the individual must carve down his energies, in order to fit in. If he reverses that process, he finds a new world that didnt seem to be there before. But now it is. It most definitely is. (To read about Jons mega-collection, Exit From The Matrix, click here.)

3	Records: U.S. Marshals Used Stingray Surveillance Nearly 6,000 TimesBy Derrick Broze Truth In Media has written extensively about Stingrays, orcell-site simulators, and how they are being used to track suspected criminals while largely operating without oversight from local, state, or federal authorities. Exactly how the devices operate and what data they collect and/or save has been unknown because of the vast degree of secrecy surrounding the tools. The Electronic Frontier Foundationdescribes the 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. In a response to USA TODAYs FOIA request, the Marshals Service included an almost totally censoredspreadsheetlisting its Stingray cases. Although the details of the specific cases were blacked out USA TODAY was able to count the number of entries the agency had made on its log of Stingray uses.The agency described the log in a letteras a listing of IMSI catcher use. USA TODAY reported: The Marshals Services surveillance log lists 5,975 cases in which the Marshals Service used stingrays. The agency declined to say what time period the log covered, or where the suspects were arrested. It also declined to identify the suspects, to protect their privacy. Just that sheer number is significant, American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Nathan Wessler told USA TODAY. Thats a lot of deployments of a very invasive surveillance tool. The Marshals Service confirmed its use of the devices to USA TODAY only in the process of trying to keep it secret, rejecting a Freedom of Information Act request for a copy of its log of cases in which agents had used stingrays, USA TODAY reported. The new details make it clear that the U.S. Marshals Service has used the devices more than any other agency. It was recently reported that the New York Police Department used Stingraysabout 1,000 times since 2008. It was also previously revealed that theBaltimorePolice Department used the technology more than 4,300 times. This is not the first time the public has learned details of the U.S. Marshals cellphone surveillance program.In late 2014, the Wall Street Journal revealed a cell-phone monitoring program operated by the U.S. Marshals Service using small planes. The program involved the Marshals using Cessna planes mounted with cell-site simulators similar to Stingrays. These so-called dirt boxes are supposed to be used for criminal investigations, butthey are capable of collectingdata from tens of thousands of people on each flight. In early March of 2015, it was also revealed that the CIA has been working with the Marshals on the program. Over thelast ten years, the U.S. Marshals Technical Operations Group worked with the CIAs Office of Technical Collection to develop the technology. The agencies have spent more than $1 million developing the technology.USA TODAY reports that the Technical Operations Group instructs agents not to reveal sensitive or classified information or programs without approval, unless a court orders them to do so. For any sensitive technique, method, source or tool, it only makes good sense that law enforcement would not divulge this information, William Sorukas, a former supervisor of the Marshals Services domestic investigations, told USA TODAY. The U.S. Marshals Service has not commented on the findings. In 2015, the Department of Justice orderedfederal agents to begin obtaining search warrants before using stingrays. As of February 2016, several federal agencies are known to be using the devices, including the FBI, the NSA, the U.S. Marshals, the CIA, the IRS, and the ATF.

2	The Media Told Tim Tebow To Not Speak Publicly About His Christianity So He Does THIS Instead In a recent event appearance with Dinesh DSouza in Tennessee, Tim Tebow came forward to address more than 2,000 Christians. The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback used the opportunity at Gods Purpose for America to encourage Americans to stand up for Judeo-Christian values. Tebow warmed the hearts of the audience after speaking about his childhood and upbringing, as well as his personal experiences as a college and professional quarterback. Whats amazing when you get up and do something is what God does in your life, Tebow claimed. We just have to get up and do something. When your identity is found in Christ, your identity never changes. Youa re always a child of God. Thats why I always say I dont have to live he roller coaster that the rest of the world lives What do you think of Tebows comments? Do you applaud him for speaking up about his Christian values? 
2	Sheriff Joe Is Joining Forces Donald Trump To Do THIS, Obama Is FURIOUS If these rumors are true, the Trump administration is looking like it could be a whos-who of conservative heroes. That is, of course, if Trumps lead in the GOP race stays strong and he is elected president in 2016. Last week, Trump announced that he would love to have former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his Vice President. Shortly thereafter, rumors circulated that Trump intends to appoint Ann Coulter as his Homeland Security Chief. Now, it looks like Trump may be planning to hire Sheriff Joe Arpaio as his Attorney General. According to the Huffington Post, the relationship sparked when Arpaio praised Trumps for his efforts to save the border. We had a couple of things in common. I wont talk much about it, but the birth certificate, Arpaio commented. He investigated it. And I have. Thats common. We both want to do something about the illegal-immigration problem. What do you think about Trumps proposed administration? 
1	President Barack Obama lashed out at President Barack Obama's seemingly evasive stance on gay marriage Tuesday, calling the head-of-state's cagey position on the issue both 'cowardly' and 'an example of failed leadership.' Speaking to reporters from the White House East Room, Obama said that he has had enough of the president's endless hedging on same-sex marriage and that, as president of the United States, he can't just sit back and take a passive position on what he called the 'most important civil rights issue of our time.' 'President Obama's inability to simply state whether he's for or against gay marriage is unacceptable,' Obama said during a spirited 30-minute address in which he sharply criticized the president for failing time and again to articulate his beliefs. 'This nonsense where he says his views are 'evolving' isn't going to cut it anymore. It's patronizing and it's wrong.' 'Mr. President,' the president continued, 'I am waiting for your answer. We all are.' Yesterday's speech comes on the heels of Vice President Joe Biden's recent announcement in support of same-sex marriage, an announcement Obama praised Tuesday, saying he was pleased 'someone in the Obama administration was finally brave enough to take a clear-cut stand.' Throughout his remarks, Obama repeatedly questioned Obama's stance on gay rights, calling the president out for trying to play both sides of the issue by simultaneously voicing his support for gay rights yet consistently stopping short of endorsing gay marriage. Obama went so far as to call the president's position 'incoherent,' and questioned how Obama could adamantly support the legalization of same-sex marriage on a state level but not a federal one. 'Tell me, how does that make any sense?' Obama said. 'The truth is, it doesn't. I don't have a clue what the president means when he says things like that, and quite frankly, I don't think he does, either.' Though President Obama has yet to respond to Obama's remarks, Beltway insiders said the increased pressure from the White House has, in effect, put Obama on notice. Sources confirmed that by using the power of the presidency, Obama is ostensibly forcing Obama to make a decision sooner rather than later. 'When the president addresses you directly, you can't ignore him,' NBC White House correspondent Kristen Welker said. 'I think what we can take away from today's remarks is that the president is genuinely frustrated, not just with Obama the president, but Obama the man. The section in his speech where he questioned how, as the first black president, Obama could fail to fight for the equal rights of gays and lesbians was particularly powerful.' While Obama praised Obama for repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell and extending hospital visitation rights to same-sex partners, Obama said the president's convoluted stance on gay marriage has less to do with the president wrestling with his moral convictions, and more to do with winning a second term in office. During his address, Obama chastised the president for playing political games with the lives of homosexuals, saying that because Obama is convinced gays and lesbians will vote for him regardless of whether or not he makes a definitive decision, there is essentially no reason to make an announcement that could potentially hurt him with independents and conservative Democrats. 'You can't accuse President Obama of not being a shrewd politician,' the president said. 'But people aren't looking for a politician right now. They are looking for a leader. They are looking for the man they thought they elected to put politics aside and make the right decision.' 'Personally, I think he's definitely for gay marriage,' Obama continued. 'I just think he's too afraid to say it.' 
2	VIDEO: Gang Of Black Teens Beat White Woman With A Brick According to recent reports, five teenage girls were arrested after attacking a 19-year-old Temple University student. The attack included a 15-year old girl using a brick to attack the female student. She was accompanied by girls ranging from 14 to 17 years old. The girls were charged with aggravated assault, terroristic threats, simple assault, and recklessly endangering another person, Philly.co reports. The group is allegedly being tried as adults. Of course, certain media members have been silent on the story, which clearly goes against their racist agenda. In doing so, they are ignoring the fact that black on black crime actually causes more harm than white on black harm each year. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. UPDATE: Were sorry, this video has been taken down due to violence. 
3	Cynthia McKinney On LeadershipPaul Craig Roberts, Contributor The question of US political leadership has been on my mind for some time. I can remember when political leadership still existed and when bipartisan cooperation could be mustered on enough issues to keep the country and the government functioning.But no more. It might have been Newt Gingrich who, as Speaker of the House, destroyed bipartisan cooperation by making war on the Democratic Party, warfare that Karl Rove has taken to a new height. When a country loses leadership, how does a country get leadership back? This is an important question. Without leadership, there is only violence. Once the Romans lost their republic, there was no one to lead them and they were ruled by violence. Will this be our fate? These thoughts were in my mind when I happened to hear Cynthia McKinney speak. Here was a leader, a person with sufficient fire, knowledge, and compassion for others. Cynthia McKinney served six terms in the House of Representatives as a Democrat from Georgia. In 2008 she was the Green Partys candidate for president. As a US Representative, Cynthia McKinney defied the cowardly Nancy Pelosi and introduced articles of impeachment against President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. But as McKinney and Kucinich stood alone in their leadership, the Constitution is eviscerated and the executive branch is above the law. The US government now routinely commits war crimes and violates all of the traditional, but no longer extant, rights of US citizens. Cynthia McKinney survived brickbats, but she did not survive the Israel Lobby. She spoke up for the Palestinians, a taboo in American politics, and Israeli money got her evicted from the House of Representatives. Recently, I had an opportunity to speak with Cynthia McKinney, and I asked her about leadership. She replied that at the local level in the black communities there is leadership. It no longer gets media coverage, but it is there. At the elected political level, she said the public confuses leadership with election to office. But many elected politicians are sycophants for the powers who control the existing order. Real leaders are those with the courage to dissent and to resist. It is the act of resistance that transforms an elected person into a leader. What Cynthia McKinney was telling me is that politics is a virtual reality, full of paper cutout props, pretending to be leaders, while the few real leaders are demonized, redistricted, and disposed of. McKinney, who was brave enough to take on all the forces of evil, also took on Israel for its crimes against the Palestinians. This shamed almost every other member of Congress, both House and Senate, cowards who sit silently while Israel oppresses the Palestinians and steals their land. McKinneys moral conscience resulted in the Israel Lobby putting her on the extermination list. McKinneys constituents had not seen a leader in so long that they were unable to recognize one, and the Israel Lobby got away with it. She told me: The Anti-Defamation League wanted me out of Congress and filed an amicus brief in the Supreme Court case to dismantle the District that sent me to Washington, D.C. From the Washington Establishments point of view, Cynthia McKinney was extremely dangerous. She spoke for the people, not for the monied interest groups. In Washington, this is impermissible behavior. And on top of it all, she challenged the governments official story about 9/11. I remember when black Americans had stepped up to the demands of leadership. In the 21st century this leadership has disappeared. I asked Cynthia McKinney if the black leadership had been bought off with corporate directorships, speaking fees, and executive branch appointments, or was it simply no longer reported by the concentrated corporate ownership of the media, which serves only Washington. In her reply she differentiated between positional authority and leadership: This is a very good question. Glen Ford now calls them the misleadership class because what is being provided by those with positional authority is not leadership. it is the opposite of leadership. Leadership is not about positional authority or media acceptance: it is about what one does and who one serves and the vision, sense of mission, one inspires in others. Going along to get along and sycophancy in abandonment of ones professed values are not leadership. Individuals paraded on mainstream television and radio are not leaders. These are people who have accommodated themselves to the objectives of the current power wielders and shapers of US policy. The father of a close friend of mine described them as blacks who have sold their blackness. I asked Cynthia McKinney where are the real leaders as contrasted with the politically ambitious, how are they produced? Why are there so few? Why are they cast aside? Here are her answers: This is an interesting question because there has raged a debate for quite some time now on whether leaders are born or made. I happen to believe that all of us have the stuff to be leaders, but it is the extent to which and how we use the stuff we have that determines the character of our leadership. Some people choose to not use their stuff at all and remain bystanders in the face of injustice. Other people choose to use their stuff in service to injustice as perpetrators. And then theres the rest of us who have a moral impulsion to speak up when we see wrong; in fact, Teddy Kennedy said it best when eulogizing his brother, Bobby: He saw wrong and tried to right it; he saw suffering and tried to heal it. Saw war and tried to stop it. Thats leadership. This country has had authentic, servant leaders on the national level and many of them were targeted for assassination by the State. This country has a deep reservoir of such capable leaders today, but the system as it is currently configured smothers them, making it difficult for them to breathe. We need to change this system and I believe that the people of this country still can change it. Why are there so few leaders? They see what happens to people like me who stand up. Greg Palast says in American Blackout that after I spoke up on the inconsistencies of the Bush Administration story on 9/11/01, I was lynched as a signal to what would happen to others if they dared ask questions and follow me. Im still swinging from that poplar tree that he mentioned. Who would walk down that path except the bravest hearts? Why are they cast aside? We have an increasingly authoritarian structure that countenances no dissent. The only thing is that we, the people, dont know who really operates the structures. The ones we elect to represent us provide no leadership and tell us no truths. Their names appear on the ballot, but they are not the ones in charge calling the shots. Everything has become a joke that is not even funny. The repercussions for those of us who try and inject love, vision, compassion and common sense into the political discourse are quickly discredited, chewed up, and expectorated. Only those with the biggest hearts will take this path. Now, why are people like me cast aside? Because we know that we can win this titanic struggle. We know that the people can overcome this tyranny. We know that the true power lies with the people and that we are the majority. Thats why the others have to work so hard with their propaganda, psychological operations, disinformation, and mind control tactics. Heaven forbid if the people would actually turn off the television and think. There would be a revolution tomorrow. And the rest of the world could finally live in peace and Mother Earth could reclaim her dignity. All of that depends on the voters of the United States to accept their responsibility to change the policies in Washington, DC, that are killing hope here and killing people abroad. I asked Cynthia McKinney why people acquiesce to the casting aside of their leaders. Her reply: Bob Marley sang, How long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look? I wish I could answer that question. I am not one who has accepted injustice quietly. I dont understand the bystander mentality. Election fraud right inside the Democratic Convention on two platform issues and there was no press conference of complaint, no protest, no sit-in, no nothing. The meeting is gaveled adjourned and the people are just left staring. Had I been there, of course, I would have done more than stare. In a room of 20,000 people, where were the leaders? The good news is that new leaders are being made every day. With the excesses of the State, more and more people are waking up. And I am glad to reach out to Independents, Republicans, Democrats, Constitutionalists, and every political stripe in-between to find some common ground so we can advance on that ground together. Its crazy that the Department of Homeland Security is going to tell me who I should fear and not talk to. As a Southerner, I know that people can come together; I know that people can hear and listen and adapt to each other if someone is willing to start the conversation. As the values of the policy makers become more and more distant from those on whose behalf policy is made, we have no choice but to come together and save each other from the growing threat of our own elected officials quietly ripping the Bill of Rights to shreds. I asked McKinney why some Americans can recognize a leader and others cannot: Leadership, it seems, frightens some people. It holds them up to a standard that they could never attain. And they know it. Therefore, thats something better ignored. When one person sacrifices for you and you have rationalized away the need to sacrifice for anyone or any principle other than yourself, youve set a pretty low standard for humanity. On the other hand, persons who stand on conviction, and suffer the slings and arrows that come with that, evoke awe in some. I asked Cynthia McKinney why President Obama had deserted the leadership role bestowed upon him by the American people and instead had fallen into the agenda of the Bush/Cheney/neoconservative Republicans. She replied that: the policy of killing that is being carried out by President Obama has wiped out all of the moral credit that Black America accrued over their years of resistance to slavery, Jim Crow, racism, poverty, and militarism. The world understood that Black Americans had a different set of values. That they were against wars, against interference in the affairs of other countries, against imperialism, against colonialism, and against White Supremacy. Now, too many Black Americans cheer a President who defends targeted assassination, drone wars in Africa and elsewhere around the world, boots on the ground globally for the military-industrial-complex, and even torture. Sadly, now much of Black America has chosen to abdicate its moral responsibility and spend whatever moral credit they have earned globally in support of an African descendant President who has ripped to shreds the Bill of Rights, damaged life for tens of thousands of innocent individuals here and abroad hurt by the policies of this Administration, not to mention those who have been killed and will be deformed due to the massive depleted uranium being used. I asked Cynthia McKinney if Washingtons doctrine that might makes right would bring freedom and democracy to the world. She replied that: The military might of the US is being used to benefit a very small group of men and women who have the rest of humankind hoodwinked as to the true nature of what is going on. The rest of humankind cant imagine that amount of greed and willingness to kill and so, are easily fooled and tricked by the individuals who control the new system that is being created. It is, sadly, a case of willful blindness. McKinney, an extremely realistic and well-informed person, unlike anyone in Washington or the media, remains confident that truth and justice will prevail. We dont have to go very far to find the authentic leadership that this country needs at this very moment. The leaders we need already walk among us. In the Black and Brown communities, we have always had tremendous leaders who give their all for dignity and justice. I see them every day. They are ubiquitous around us. Given the right context, they will thrive and they will help us to thrive. What we must do is create the environment that will allow them to find their voice and thrive in positions of authority. All of us must work to create the environment in which decent, compassionate people can become our leaders. America and the Constitution will be safe the day Cynthia McKinney or a similar person is president of the United States. Until then, we are ingreat peril.

2	Obama Admits Sickening Truth, Openly Says, Im Not Interested In America Winning What do you do when the so-called leader of your country doesnt care about the success of it? Were about to find out. According to reports, during a recent news conference Obama slipped up and admitted that he doesnt care about America getting ahead. What Im not interested in doing is posing or pursuing some notion of American leadership or America winning or whatever other slogans they come up with that has no relationship to what is actually going to work to protect the American people, Obama claimed. And to protect the people in the region who are getting killed and to protect our allies and people like France, he continued. Im too busy for that. Busy doing what? one might ask. Obama doesnt seem to be doing much to protect his country or his citizens, so we can only assume that he means he is too busy golfing, our too busy spending our tax dollars. If theres a good idea out there, then were going to do it, Obama continued. I dont think Ive shown a hesitation to act. What do you think? Is Obama absolutely delusional? Watch the video below and tell share your thoughts with us. 
1	Repeatedly emphasizing how her proposed policies would benefit middle-aged fathers of three who work in the public sector, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton appeared to be tailoring each of her answers during Thursday nights primary debate to a single unclaimed New York superdelegate, sources reported. As your next president, I promise to make America work for all of usnot just the billionaires, but also middle-class families working to pay off a 30-year mortgage on a postwar duplex in Queens, said Clinton, adding that, now more than ever, the federal government needed to reduce the burden of student debt on those who had just taken their firstborn daughter on a tour of several colleges upstate. In addition to reinvesting in our countrys infrastructureincluding that section of the Lexington Avenue line that gets so congested on the way to work every morningI vow to strengthen Medicare and Social Security, providing a lifeline for families caring for an elderly, mobility-impaired aunt who lives in Hoboken. We also need to do more to help small businesses for every American whos ever toyed with the idea of quitting their day job and opening up an East Village gastropub. At press time, Clinton was reportedly urging New Yorkers to vote for her next Tuesday after dropping their youngest off at the Henry Gradstein elementary school. 
2	Two Girls Brutally Attack Helpless Girl For Disgusting Reason In a shocking new video, a group of angry black girls brutally attack two young white girls for seemingly no reason other than walking through their neighborhood. Reportedly, the two white girls were out driving when they realized they needed gas. They stopped in a predominantly black neighborhood to fill up. They were not aware that the black community would be so angry about their presence. The girls were quickly attacked by a group of racist black women, and although the pair attempt to fight back, they have little luck. Finally, the girls are able to break free and run to their car. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Should the group be arrested now? UPDATE: We apologize, the video has been taken down. 
1	Early in the third quarter of last Sunday's game against the Saints, Carolina Panthers quarterback Matt Moore saw something terrifying and inhuman in the defense and called an audible, the visibly shaken quarterback later confirmed. 'I didn't like what I saw out there, because, I swear to God, this thing had huge claws and fangs,' said Moore, who frantically ran up and down the line of scrimmage pointing and screaming, warning his teammates about the ghoulish beast, and yelling 'blue 32 falcon.' 'If I didn't change the play, then that thingwhatever the hell it waswould have killed [running back] Jonathan [Stewart], because it was right in perfect position to rip him to shreds.' Moore, who changed the play from a toss right to a quick slant, was hit on the blind side and sacked for an eight-yard loss by a yeti. 
2	BREAKING: MSNBC Might Get Shut Down Because Of THIS 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	Beloved Country Singer Found Dead... This Is Heartbreaking According to recent reports, 49-year-old country singer Daron Norwood was found dead in his apartment in Hereford, Texas. Police and medical personnel responded to a call at the apartment and found the singer deceased in his bedroom. Norwood is best known for his 1990s hits If It Wasnt for Her, I Wouldnt Have You and Cowboys Dont Cry. Both hits made the Top 30 on country music charts. Unfortunately, Norwoods career was cut short when he quit the business in 1995 due to a drug and alcohol addiction. Two years later he founded an anti-drug, alcohol and violence program called Keep It Straight. I didnt quit on life, Norwood once told Country Weekly. But I quit the bus, I quit the band, I quit the record deal, quit the shows, the alcohol, the drugs. I quit it all with a phone call to my then-manager saying, Im done. And I do mean donewith it all. Authorities have reported that they do no suspect foul play. What do you think? Do your prayers go out to Norwoods family in this difficult time? 
1	Upon seeing a brief, intimate clip of quarterback Tom Brady completing a gorgeous pass at the Patriots training camp, the nation drifted into intense visions of love Friday night. Ive never felt this way before about anything, SportsCenter viewer Ron Barragan said Saturday morning, crying softly as he recounted his previous nights visions to his family. It was like the entire world was dancing with Tom to one joyful song. It was beautiful. Everything is just beautiful. When reached for comment, Brady flipped his hair, turned to America, and winked. 
3	Mind Control Microscope Changes Behavior of Mice: Scientists Say They Will Soon treat the brain as the keyboard of a pianoBy Joseph Jankowski Scientists from theUniversity of California, Berkeley have developed a microscope which is able to alter the activity in the brain circuitry of mice. The Daily Mailreports: The findings were presented at the Annual Meeting of Experimental Biology in San Diego According toDr. Hillel Adesnik, a UCB neurobiologist who led the research, the microscope technology is paving the way for the brain to one day be controlled like a keyboard of a piano. With this new microscope, we believe we will soon be able to treat the brain as the keyboard of a piano, so to speak, and write in a sequence of activity that is needed to understand or correct brain function, said Dr. Adesnik. Adesnik explained that the microscope may be able to function as a sort of Rosetta Stone to help us crack the neural code. The scientists hope that their approach will help to better understand how the brains cellular machinery works and the language being used by the cells to communicate, reports the Daily Mail. Adesnik went on to explain that,We wanted to develop a technology that can offer a general approach to understand the basic syntax of neural signals, so that we can begin to understand what a given brain circuit is doing and perhaps whats gone wrong with that in the case of a disease. The mice were prepped with glass windows into their skulls so thelight could penetrate into their brains. Brain cells were also genetically modifiedto make them responsive to light. The microscopeshines two beams of infrared lasers through one of these windows in order to create a 3D holographic pattern within the brain. The light-responsive brain cells then alter their electrical signals to any pattern the team choose, using the holographic pattern as a template. Initial tests on the mice used the tool torecord the activity of cells during small movements, such as moving its whiskers. The group of scientistsare also developing technology to trick mice into seeing things that arent actually there.

3	Potential Nuclear Fallout Imminent As Radioactive Waste Sets to Burn in MissouriBy John Vibes There are clouds of smoke that have been billowing from the site, making the air in parts of St. Louis heavily polluted. In 2013, Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster sued Republic Services, the company responsible for the landfill, charging the company with neglecting the site and harming the local environment. Last year, city officials became concerned that the fire may reach the nearby West Lake Landfill, which is littered with decades worth of nuclear waste from government projects and weapons manufacturing. Remnants from the Manhattan Project and the Cold War have been stuffed there for generations. The site has been under the control of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) since 1990, but they have not made any significant effort to clean up the waste. Although the fire has been burning for over 5 years and the city began making evacuation plans last year, they didnt tell the public until this past week, when they leaked the emergency plans to local news station KMOX. MariaChappelleNadal (@MariaChappelleN) October 1, 2015 According to the emergency plan, if the fire reaches the nuclear waste site, there is a potential for radioactive fallout to be released in the smoke plume and spread throughout the region. This event will most likely occur with little or no warning, the plan notes, listing the municipalities directly affected as Bridgeton, Hazelwood, Maryland Heights, the Village of Champ and the City of St. Charles. County Executive Steve Stenger has promised that the emergency plan is not an indication of any imminent danger, but with a fire just 1000 feet away from a nuclear waste site, the danger does seem imminent for many of the citys residents. It is [the] county governments responsibility to protect the health, safety and well-being of all St. Louis County residents. None of this is meant to be alarmist, but you have to be prepared, Stenger said in a statement. However, this week Koster told the Associated Press that the fire is even closer to the contamination zone than the city officials have even estimated because the radiation extends beyond the walls of the site. The emergency plan provides very basic options for people to either evacuate the city or stay sheltered in their houses. Aside from saying that nuclear contamination can spread through the area in plumes of smoke, there was little mention in the report about what they actually expect to happen. Also alarming, is the fact that while there is an evacuation plan, there has been no plan proposed to actually stop this, or clean the mess up. It seems that the local government and the EPA are just hoping for the best as the fire continues to spread.

WTF Why havent they brought in one of those fire maverick guys? This is INSANE and will spread all over the country you fools. Actually with the prevailing winds the fallout will go for the most part to the east, look on a map to check the cities that will be involved. Satanists who rule the world, do not care about our lives and our health. They just love wars, misery, distructions, illness OKthanks for the 3 second scare. Now what are the facts? Is there a single investigative journalist out there other than these wannabee journalist that repeat useless information? Should we believe the government? Nothats easy. So why believe this report? Has anyone measured the movement of this fire vs. time? That would be easy to do with todays technology. Why would we believe that the fire would continue into the nuclear waste site? Are there materials there that would burn? What about town meetings? Has anyone pulled any transcripts to understand this better? What was the result of the lawsuit filed by the AG in 2013? Surely there are mitigative measures in place, so what are they? As far as St. Louis, why arent the folks there demanding answers and review of any technical reports? I suggest the affected areas begin a class action suit now. That is not unreasonable. Gotta love how government creates these problem, and then act as if they are the saviors. Dont be surprised if they dont want to get rid if it by adding it to your drinking water. Just like fluoride. Hoping for the best doesnt cut it. You are bound to have excavating equipment. Dig a firebreak between the landfill and the nuclear waste. We dont care how deep you have to dig. Just get off your backsides and get it done. This has more than just locally potentially catastrophic dangers. Everything east of the Mississippi could be contaminated because of your irresponsibility. What is wrong with you people? Get. These illegals from invading ur nations Do you really expect the agency that caused the mine disaster out west a few weeks ago to do anything about this especially since they have had 25 years to get started on the radioactive site and have done nothing? The EPA is an unelected bureaucracy which is NOT accountable to the voters. Since they were appointed, and not elected, the public has no control over them. They do only what the top leaders of our country tell them to do! When the government is involved, the first priority is to CYA. Second, you hope ignoring the problem will make it go away. If that fails, you lay the blame on others. Even when years down the road, when people start dying, an expression of sadness is about all they will do. how can you use potential and imminent in the same phrase? IOW.you dont have a clue because you are regurgitating some BS that you failed to research. And what is the source of your picture? Ill assume that its a photoshop prize you used to instill interest until I hear otherwise.which Im 100% sure I wont! Your article is a joke. A simple search on this issue will reveal (from sources like Missouri DNS) that it is monitored closely, and Republic has major liabilities if it does not. Do you really believe that Republic (the waste company) wants to spend billions on potential human injuries and allowing this problem to escalate??? Nothing is further from the truth! And by the way, that ridiculous lawsuit supposedly filed to which nothing is happening, occurred because this is the vehicle they use to secretize data on the issue. Its used widely by the government since the government officials are beholden to big industry. You havent figured that out yet.you numbskulls??? Get a clue folks. ANother bomb scare article that doesnt hold water. What I would expect from selfnewspost.com since their only interest is # of visits and clicks on their advertisements. Thats the game and youre in it! So Vibes.live up to your charming biographical description of (quote) is an author, researcher and investigative journalist. Now thats funny! Hoping for the best ! Yep, just like the two mines they have released contaminated water from. Incompetence from the Epa, at best, Criminal? Probably. But they can prosecute some local farmer for building a pond on his own property! How does a fire at a landfill sustain for 5 years? I cant warp my head around this! And its near a nuclear waste dump? Wow! You cant make this stuff up! I believe this is similar to a coal mine fire. They make their own fuel and can burn many years until they run out of fuel. They are about impossible to stop. It would seem like this fire would be fairly easy to put out but I would need to know the depth and width of the fire. Plus we are dealing with the government here, specifically the EPA. A more inept group of people would be hard to find. I wonder if they have ever heard of a drill rig? They can inject CO2 or fire retardant foam into and ahead of the fire to stop it if they wanted to. If it is only several hundred feet deep, they could dig a trench to stop it. It isnt rocket science but you do need someone with a functioning brain on the project.. Sounds like a tire fire These people needs a jail sentene and a heay fine then they will wake up When journalists make errors in grammar such as this: even estimated because the radiation extends beyond the walls of the site it is difficult to understand what they mean. Note that radiation is the wrong word and is an error in grammar. Give Obama and the spineless wonders in Washington some shovels an have them dig it DISLIKE!!!DISLIKE!!!DISLIKE!!!DISLIKE!!!DISLIKE!!!DISLIKE!!! There is nothing more incompetent than all the morons ruining the United States. The 5 million US federal employees, need to be reduced to unemployed. Starting with the muslam in the White House. If this were a serious threat, it seems like they would put out the fire. Now here is a part of the Globalist plan that has been in motion for decades. When the central planners are in control it is easy to manufacture a crisis that will unfold over decades. The nuclear waste, the landfill, the fire are all peices of a big puzzle intent on depopulating. Just as Fukishima was placed near a fault by a company whose design engineers resigned in protest of the building of the facility on the coast of an area known for enormous tsunamis we have the makings of a well-engineered disaster whose consequences will displace millions. More importantly it will kill in large numbers too. This is my opinion, of course, but nothing happens by accident in this world. More money, more power, more control, more government is the only way to solve this problem which of course was caused by GOVERNMENT! Health care messed up? Education messed up? Social Security messed up? Environment messed up? Banks messes up? More Gov? It is so gracious of the government to give the people a warning at this early stage of a possibly man (government) caused disaster. They will trumpet about the non-existent global warming endlessly Obama just banned pork in US prisons!!! For 200 years inmates have been eating pork. Now Obama thinks it is wrong ?!?! Any chance his Muslim handlers are behind this??? DUMP OBAMA ANY WAY YOU CAN !! Let them eat cake. Maybe some of those millions of dollars spent on armanent by EPA should have been spent on this problem. I wonder who the owner of the dump is being protected by and why arent they (EPA) doing their job instead of harassing landowners about their retention ponds. Follow the money some politician is friendly with this dump owner. Remember the HALF LIFE of radioactive particles is on the order of Thousands of Years. The wind (every Year) picks up dust from tests done above ground in the 1950s and deposits them somewhere/?Skin cancer, lung cancerwho knows? The government would be responsible IF they admitted fault. Why cant they put the fire out? How does a fire burn for 5 years? Anybody know? Radioactive material can be detected and located with a Geiger Counter. And if it can be found it can be removed. Theres no excuse for the EPA not to have relocated this dangerous material years ago. Ive been saying it for years and people tell me that theres nothing to worry about. Theyre disposing of nuclear waste in ways that arent tested, certainly not proven and obviously unsafe. That stuff doesnt just biodegrade and return to a natural/neutral state like organic waste does. Nuclear energy is dangerous for more than one reason, but safe disposal is the most concerning to me. The mine waste that the EPA recently launched downstream is a very small and minor example of what can happen with waste that isnt properly handled, but rather stored in some fashion that leaves it vulnerable to contaminate the environment in the future. Nuclear waste is far more dangerous than mine waste and its effects in the future,(when its improper storage become that unforeseen problem), is very troubling. Were leaving a major problem for future generations to deal with but calling it a non-issue. That mine waste wasnt an issue until there was some concern that the containment was possibly insufficient and the officials stepped in to assure the safety of the people and environment. The people who put it there originally probably thought they were being as safe with it as the more recent idiots think they are being with nuclear waste. Human stupidity is going to be the death of us all. 
3	25 Horrible Statistics About The U.S. Economy That Barack Obama Does Not Want You To KnowMichael Snyder, Contributor But is the U.S. economy really improving? The truth is that it is not. The rate of employment among working age Americans is exactly where it was two years ago and household incomes have actually gone down while Obama has been president. Home ownership levels and home prices continue to decline. Meanwhile, food and gasoline continue to become even more expensive. The percentage of Americans that are dependent on the government is at an all-time record high and the U.S. national debt has risen by more than 5 trillion dollars under Obama. We simply have not seen the type of economic recovery that we have seen after every other economic recession since World War II. But lying to the American people is not going to help them. If you are speeding in a car toward a 500-foot cliff, you dont need someone to cheer you on. Instead, you need someone to slam on the brakes. The cold, hard reality of the matter is that the U.S. economy is in far worse shape than it was four or five years ago. We have never come close to recovering from the last recession and another one will be here soon. The following are 25 horrible statistics about the U.S. economy that Barack Obama does not want you to know. #1 The percentage of Americans that own homes is dropping rapidly. According to Gallup, the current level of home ownership in the United States is the lowest that Gallup has ever measured. #2 Home prices in the U.S. continue to fall like a rock as well. They have declined for six months in a row and are now down a total of 35 percent from the peak of the housing bubble. The last time that home prices in the United States were this low was back in 2002. #3 Last year, an astounding 53 percent of all U.S. college graduates under the age of 25 were either unemployed or underemployed. #4 Back in 2007, about 10 percent of all unemployed Americans had been out of work for 52 weeks or longer. Today, that number is above 30 percent. #5 When Barack Obama first became president, the number of long-term unemployed workers in the United States was 2.6 million. Today, it is 5.3 million. #6 The average duration of unemployment in the United States is about three times as long as it was back in the year 2000. #7 Despite what the mainstream media would have us to believe, the truth is that the percentage of working age Americans that are employed is not increasing. Back in March 2010, 58.5 percent of all working age Americans were employed. In March 2011, 58.5 percent of all working age Americans were employed. In March 2012, 58.5 percent of all working age Americans were employed. So how can Barack Obama and the mainstream media claim that the employment situation in the United States is getting better? The employment rate is still essentially exactly where it was when the last recession supposedly ended. #8 Back in 1950, more than 80 percent of all men in the United States had jobs. Today, less than 65 percent of all men in the United States have jobs. #9 In 1962, 28 percent of all jobs in America were manufacturing jobs. In 2011, only 9 percent of all jobs in America were manufacturing jobs. #10 In some areas of Detroit, Michigan you can buy a three bedroom home for just $500. #11 According to one recent survey, approximately one-third of all Americans are not paying their bills on time at this point. #12 Since Barack Obama entered the White House, the price of gasoline has risen by more than 100 percent. #13 The student loan debt bubble continues to expand at a very frightening pace. Recently it was announced that total student loan debt in the United States has passed the one trillion dollar mark. #14 Incredibly, one out of every four jobs in the United States pays $10 an hour or less at this point. #15 Household incomes all over the United States continue to fall. After adjusting for inflation, median household income in America has declined by 7.8 percent since December 2007. #16 Over the past several decades, government dependence has risen to unprecedented heights in the United States. The following is how I described the explosive growth of social welfare benefits in one recent article. Back in 1960, social welfare benefits made up approximately 10 percent of all salaries and wages. In the year 2000, social welfare benefits made up approximately 21 percent of all salaries and wages. Today, social welfare benefits make up approximately 35 percent of all salaries and wages. #17 In November 2008, 30.8 million Americans were on food stamps. Today, more than 46 million Americans are on food stamps. #18 Right now, more than 25 percent of all American children are on food stamps. #19 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, today 49 percent of all Americans live in a home that receives some form of benefits from the federal government. #20 Over the next 75 years, Medicare is facing unfunded liabilities of more than 38 trillion dollars. That comes to $328,404 for each and every household in the United States. #21 During the first quarter of 2012, U.S. public debt rose by 359.1 billion dollars. U.S. GDP only rose by 142.4 billion dollars. #22 At this point, the U.S. national debt is rising by more than 2 million dollars every single minute. #23 The U.S. national debt has risen by more than 5 trillion dollars since the day that Barack Obama first took office. In a little more than 3 years Obama has added more to the national debt than the first 41 presidents combined. #24 The Federal Reserve bought up approximately 61 percent of all government debt issued by the U.S. Treasury Department during 2011. #25 The Federal Reserve continues to systematically destroy the value of the U.S. dollar. Since 1970, the U.S. dollar has lost more than 83 percent of its value. But the horrible economic statistics only tell part of the story. In communities all over America there is a feeling that something fundamental has changed. Businesses that have been around for generations are shutting their doors and there is a lot of fear in the air. The following is a brief excerpt from a recent interview with Richard Yamarone, the senior economist at Bloomberg Brief. You have to listen to what the small businesses are telling you and right now they are telling you, Hey, Im the head of a 3rd or 4th generation, 75 or 100 year old business, and Ive got to shut the doors or Ive got to let people go. And if Im hiring anybody back, its only on a temporary basis. Sometimes they do this through a hiring firm so that they can sidestep paying unemployment benefit insurance. So thats whats really going on at the grassroots level of the economy. Very, very, grossly different from what youre seeing in some of these numbers coming out in earnings releases. All over the country, millions of hard working Americans are desperately looking for work. They have been told that the recession is over, but they are still finding it incredibly difficult to find anyone that will hire them. The following example is from a recent CNN article. Joann Cotton, a 54-year-old Columbus, Mississippi, resident, was one of those faces of poverty we met on the tour. Unemployed for three years, Joann has gone from making $60,000 a year to less than $15,000 overnight. Her husband is disabled and dependent on medicines the couple can no longer afford. They rely on food stamps, which, Joann says, is depressing as hell. Receiving government aid, however, has not been as depressing as her job search. Joann says she has applied for at least 300 jobs. Even though she can barely afford gas, she drives to the interviews only to learn that the employers want to hire younger candidates at low wages. The experiences have taken a toll: Ive aged 10 years in the three years that Ive been looking for a job, Joann told us. I want to get a job so I can just relax and exhale but I cant. After a while you just give up. Meanwhile, Barack Obama and his family continue to live the high life at the expense of the U.S. taxpayer. Even many Democrats are starting to get very upset about this. The following is from a recent article by Paul Bedard. Blue collar Democratic voters, stuck taking depressing staycations because they cant afford gas and hotels, are resentful of the first familys 17 lavish vacations around the world and dont want their tax dollars paying for the Obamas holidays, according to a new analysis of swing voters. It simply is not appropriate for the Obamas to be spending millions upon millions upon millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars on luxury vacations when so many Americans are deeply suffering. But Barack Obama does not want you to know about any of this stuff. He just wants you to buy his empty propaganda one more time so that he can continue to occupy the White House for another four years. This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

2	BREAKING: Massive Voter Fraud Announcement Released Out Of Wisconsin... This Could Be It Green Party candidate Jill Stein was feeling pretty good about herself over the weekend, after raising millions of dollars to call for the recount of election votes in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. She was especially pleased when Hillary Clinton signed on to the cause, joining her movement. Stein probably thought she had this in the bag. As it turns out, she was too confident too soon. According to reports from The Gateway Pundit, the Wisconsin Elections Commission made up of three Democrats and three Republicans, set a timetable for a recount of the presidential election votes but rejected a request for a hand recount. Shortly thereafter, a Wisconsin insider took to an online message board warn Americans that the recount will likely expose massive DNC voter fraud. The insider claimed that the recount will reveal multiple instances of non-citizens voting, people voting from out of state or numerous times, and nursing home violations. If his predictions are accurate, we could actually see an improvement in Trumps margin of victory. This announcement comes just days after Trump issued a statement to Bloomberg, criticizing Stein for her pathetic demands: The people have spoken and the election is over, and as Hillary Clinton herself said on election night, in addition to her conceding by congratulating me, We must accept this result and then look to the future. This recount is just a way for Jill Stein, who received less than one percent of the vote overall and wasnt even on the ballot in many states, to fill her coffers with money, most of which she will never even spend on this ridiculous recount. All three states were won by large numbers of voters, especially Pennsylvania, which was won by more than 70,000 votes. This is a scam by the Green Party for an election that has already been conceded, and the results of this election should be respected instead of being challenged and abused, which is exactly what Jill Stein is doing. 
3	Kicking The Can Down The Road: Europe Still Headed for the Greatest Financial Crisis Since the Great DepressionMichael Snyder, Contributor Of course not. European leaders have held 18 summits since the beginning of the debt crisis. After most of the preceding summits, global financial markets responded with joy because European leaders had reached a deal which would supposedly solve the crisis. But a few weeks after each summit it would become clear that nothing had been solved and that the financial crisis had actually gotten even worse than before. How many times do they expect us to fall for the same sorry routine? Nothing in Europe has been solved. You cant solve a debt problem with more debt. European leaders are just kicking the can down the road. More debt will relieve some of the short-term pressure, but in a few weeks it will be apparent that the underlying problems in Europe continue to grow. Unfortunately, there is not an unlimited amount of EU bailout money, so once all of these financial bullets have been fired European leaders are going to find that kicking the can down the road will not be so easy anymore. The truth is that the financial crisis in Europe has not been cancelled it has just been put off for a few weeks or a few months. Do you solve the problems of a credit card addict by giving that person another credit card? Of course not. You may delay the short-term financial problems of the credit card addict by giving that person another credit card, but in the process you make the long-term problems even worse. Well, that is essentially what is happening in Europe. European governments and the European financial system have become ridiculously dependent on debt. By giving European debt junkies another hit or two it may relieve a bit of short-term suffering but it doesnt solve anything. Did the first bailout package solve the problems in Greece? No. Did the second bailout package solve the problems in Greece? No. Today, the Greek financial system is a complete and total mess, and Greek politicians are saying that a third bailout package may be necessary. Many are claiming that Italy and Spain have been saved by this new deal, but that is a joke. Yes, the ability to inject bailout funds directly into troubled banks is going tokeep some of them going for a little while. But the deal also calls for a new governing body to be established that will supervise those banks. Will that governing body be established in time to even provide the short-term help that is needed? Yes, spending bailout funds to buy up Spanish debt and Italian debt will artificially suppress bond yields for a time. We have seen this before. But what happened? After the bond buying program was over, bond yields started spiking again. So do the Europeans plan to suppress bond yields forever? Of course not. There is not enough bailout money to do that. Lets review the equation that I have shared in previous articles. Brutal austerity + toxic levels of government debt + rising bond yields + a lack of confidence in the financial system + banks that are massively overleveraged + a massive credit crunch = A financial implosion of historic proportions Have any of those elements been removed? No. Bond yields will be suppressed for a period of time, but that will not last forever, and all of the other underlying issues are still there. Meanwhile, the rest of Europe continues to follow the Greek economy into economic depression. The Spanish economy shrunk again in the second quarter of 2012, and austerity in that nation has barely even begun. As a recent CNBC article detailed, the big spending cuts are still coming. The conservatives, who inherited from the outgoing Socialists one of the euro zones highest public deficits, at 8.9 percent of GDP in 2011, have said they will shrink the shortfall to 5.3 percent this year and 3 percent in 2013. Austerity has absolutely shredded the Greek economy, and we are starting to see that same pattern be repeated all over Europe. When you spend far more money than you bring in for decades, eventually you have to go through a very painful adjustment. What is going on in Greece should be a lesson for all of us. Debt allows you to live above your means, but the consequences of going into way too much debt can be absolutely horrific. More debt can delay the consequences of a debt problem but it cannot solve a debtproblem. The following is what Jim Rogers told CNBC on Friday. Just because now you have a way to get them (the banks) to borrow even more money, this is not solving the problem, this is making the problem worse, Rogers said on Friday. People need to stop spending money they dont have. The solution to too much debt is not more debt. All this little agreement does is give them (banks) a chance to have even more debt for a while longer, he added. But if you just went by the headlines in most of the newspapers around the world you would think that European leaders had discovered the cure for cancer or something. Sadly, the truth is that they are simply choosing to fire off a few of the financial bullets that they still have left as a recent Washington Post article described. The European bailout funds dont have unlimited resources. If they throw $125 billion at Spains banks and another couple hundred billion toward Italy, pretty soon theyll be running low. The only entity with unlimited euros is the European Central Bank. And right now, theres no talk of using the ECB to provide bailouts. Which means that this latest move might have just forestalled the crisis, rather than ending it permanently. So what comes next? Bruce Krasting believes that the half-life of this bailout will be measured in weeks. The following is his summary of what he sees coming next in Europe. If Im right, after a few weeks things turn south again in the capital markets. Then what? More LTRO. No there is no more collateral. All of the swill loans have already been hocked. Cut ECB % rate. Doesnt matter. It wont change conditions in Italian or Spanish funding markets one bit. A spending plan of 1% of GDP. That wont put a dent in the recession that is building. Brussels buys more sovereign bonds to avoid a catastrophe of Italian 10-year exceeding 7% (capitulation). Sorry. There are wise men in Germany who will simply not allow this to happen in the scale that is required. The ECB goes Defcon 1 and launches a E2T QE program. No same answer as above. Merkel does a 180 and embraces Euro bonds. No chance in hell. The US or China are going to start buying EU bonds? Lunacy not happening. The IMF will come to the rescue? No way the IMF does not have the resources to solve anyones problems. In other words, kicking the can down the road is going to get quite a bit harder after the current sugar high wears off. Europe is still headed for the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression (at least) and European leaders seem powerless to stop it. Of course the United States is also facing a crisis of too much debt and a great day of reckoning is on the way for this country as well. So yes, the global economy is still heading for collapse and there is still a multitude of reasons to be extremely concerned about the second half of 2012. What is your opinion about all of this? Do you think that European leaders will be able to keep kicking the can down the road? Please feel free to post a comment with your opinion below.

2	BREAKING: FBI Director Comey To Be Fired Officially For Not Charging Hillary Americans were outraged when FBI Director James Comey announced that Hillary Clinton will not be charged for her use of a personal email server. Now, four senators are partnering together to give Comey a taste of reality. Reports indicate that four U.S. Senators came forward with a letter that Hillary and Beth Wilkinson wrote in June, making the shocking claim that the FBI could only access Hillarys emails from between June 2014 and February 2015. The Wilkinson letters raise serious questions about why DOJ would consent to such substantial limitations on the scope of its investigation, and how Director (James) Comeys statements on the scope of the investigation comport with the reality of what the FBI was permitted to investigation comport with the reality of what the FBI was permitted to investigate, the Senators argued. This is simply astonishing given the likelihood that evidence on the laptops would be of interest to congressional investigators. These limitations would necessarily have excluded, for example, any emails from Cheryl Mills to Paul Combetta in late 2014 or early 2015 directing the destruction or concealment of federal records, Chaffetz added. Similarly, these limitations would have excluded any email sent or received by Secretary Clinton if it was not sent or received by one of the four email addresses listed, or the email address was altered. What do you think about this? Does Comey need to be fired immediately? 
1	Saying that he doesnt want any of that crap made in foreign countries, local man Doug Adelwright, 47, confirmed Tuesday that he only buys products manufactured right here in the United States by underpaid immigrant laborers. I always buy American, because I believe in supporting businesses that dont move their factories overseas and instead employ illegal migrant workers to make things here at home, said Adelwright, adding that youll never see a made in Bangladesh tag inside any of his shirts, because his clothes are made exclusively under U.S. sweatshop conditions. Why should I buy stuff made by exploited foreigners in another country when I can buy stuff made by exploited foreigners who work on American soil? Look, I dont want my purchasing dollars to go straight to some other country; I want my money going to good, honest workers here in the United States who then immediately send the money to their families back in other countries. Adelwright also told reporters that he would choose the craftsmanship of a human-trafficking victim smuggled into the United States over the craftsmanship of a worker in a foreign country any day of the week. 
3	Rot of Empire: Moodys Downgrades Chicago To Junk Bond StatusBy Dave Kranzler The outlook on all long term ratings remains negative (LINK) But recall that Moodys did not downgrade Enron to junk status until Enron hit the wall. While Im not suggesting that Chicago will hit the wall anytime in the next few weeks, it does suggest that the White House is probably evaluating bail-out ideas. Im not sure how Obama thinks he can smooth this one by all Federal taxpayers outside of the State of Illinois (which itself is running something like an admitted $21 billion budget deficit). But, then again, something like 45% of registered Democrats have expressed voting support for a criminal (Hillary Clinton), so anything is possible in this Orwellian paradise. Heres a summary of Moodys downgrade rationale: The Ba1 rating on Chicagos GO debt incorporates expected growth in the citys highly elevated unfunded pension liabilities. Based on the Illinois Supreme Courts May 8 overturning of the statute that governs the State of Illinois (A3 negative) pensions, we believe that the citys options for curbing growth in its own unfunded pension liabilities have narrowed considerably. Whether or not the current statutes that govern Chicagos pension plans stand, we expect the costs of servicing Chicagos unfunded liabilities will grow, placing significant strain on the citys financial operations absent commensurate growth in revenue and/or reductions in other expenditures. Our negative outlook reflects our expectation that Chicagos credit challenges will continue, both in the near term and in the long term. Immediate credit challenges include potential draws on liquidity associated with rating triggers embedded in the citys letters of credit (LOCs), standby bond purchase agreement (SBPA), lines of credit, direct bank loans, and swaps [Oops banks can and should pull the plug]. The current rating actions give the counterparties of these transactions the option to immediately demand up to $2.2 billion in accelerated principal and accrued interest and associated termination fees. Chicago, like Detroit before it, is emblematic of the Rot of Empire. Large industrial-based cities have been gutted by modern-day Robber Barons who have moved the bulk of Americas industrial base to cheap-labor eastern hemisphere domains. These large Rust-Belt metropolitan areas are collapsing under the weight massive budget deficits and catastrophically underfunded public employee pension funds. I would hazard an educated guess that if Moodys has determined that Chicago is regarded as below investment grade, the stark reality is that Chicago is likely on the verge of collapse barring some likely smoke-filled back room deals cut between Obama and his former puppet-master, Rahm Emanuel (Mayor of Chicago). I would bet that the United States is entering its Final Chapter. This is why the Obama regime has intensified its attempt at global military control both domestically (Jade Helm) and abroad. I hope Im wrong, but I have a bad feeling that life is going to become very uncomfortable for anyone not a member of highest elitist echelon. This would mean everyone except those in the three-comma club (billionaires) and the political puppets controlled by the ultra-wealthy.

2	Carrie Underwood Just Put Everything On The Line To Do THIS... Please Show Her Your Support Throughout his presidency, Barack Obama has demonstrated a significant lack of regard and respect for the military or for war veterans. His refusal to stand in their defense has made it risky for entertainments to take a stand and support the men and women who have fought tirelessly for our country. Fortunately, celebrities like country star Carrie Underwood are refusing to back down. Fox News reported that just one week before Veterans Day, Underwood showed her true patriotism by performing at a private concert for 700 military families on board a Carnival Vista cruise ship. Underwood is an ambassador for the Carnival Cruise Line through their strategic partnership with Operation Homefront. Reports indicate Underwood performed for an entire hour, singing songs from her Storyteller Tour. The country music icon also spoke to reporters about her efforts to honor military family members and veterans. We did have a lot of families come out to see us when we were on the road and I got to meet a lot of them, Underwood commented. What do you think of Underwoods gesture to our nations veterans? Do we need more role models like her? 
1	NEW YORKRepresentatives for Palmolive dish detergent issued a challenge to the makers of Dawn Monday, charging that the blue dishwashing soap 'coddles grease.' 'Palmolive lives up to its vow to be 'tough on grease,' but Dawn merely 'takes grease out of your way,'' Colgate-Palmolive CEO Reuben Mark said. 'Out of sight, out of mind, eh Dawn? Palmolive believes in eradicating the grease problem, not simply pushing it to the far reaches of the sink.' Mark added that, as unrelenting as Palmolive is on grease, it continues to be soft on hands. 
3	Largest School Lunch Boycott Starts Today in ConnecticutHeather Callaghan If there werent some photos to back up the complaints, the quality problem would sound outrageous enough for Charles Dickens to reject as fiction. Students have found mold, uncooked chicken, expired food, unidentifiable blobs, dead bugs and human hairs. They have described portion sizes for $3.50 lunches that amount to a couple of gulps. But to add insult to injury, students are not alerted when their accounts are running down. Instead, their lunch is taken and chucked into garbage cans right next to the register; right in front of their faces and peers. In one instance, a parent complained that her daughter who has Type 1 diabetes was forced to throw out her only meal a yogurt. Another student had his lunch laid waste because he was short 50 cents. Its not so much the school they take issue with although the school is condoning the poor quality but the shady food company to whom they are contracted Chartwells. Speaking as a former public school staff member, this example highlights a nationwide problem of schools subletting food quality to the lowest possible private bidder. High school senior and organizer David Casella said: Theyre not treating us like humans, theyre treating us like a business opportunity. The school has tried to pressure students to back down, citing possible injury to students on the free lunch program that might not be able to participate. Solution? The students are bringing extra lunches from home to help them and are ordering pizzas this week. In the past, they have reached into their pockets to help students who get their lunches thrown out when they are short. Unfortunately, today during the boycott, one student was barred from handing out free food. The Principal told her it was illegal! (See:Breaking Bread: Student Punished for Sharing Lunch) Rachel White hopes the boycott will at least get attention and says, we hold the power. We are the customers and Chartwells is the business. One student estimates that if just over 300 students participate for the week, then Chartwells could lose up to $6,000 dollars. These are just a few examples of Chartwells scrumptious servings. You can scroll through the event above to find postings of portion sizes and dead bugs in fruit and veggies. (Hope youve already eaten.) This is not the first attempt at a boycott against Chartwells. Not the first time by a long shot. Another time, it was a protest launched by elementary students. Another affront is the knowledge that First Lady Michelle Obama had personally worked with Chartwells in a campaign to boost vegetables and fruits in lunch servings. Instead of the negative publicity affecting healthy change, the Farmington school system seems to be using pressure tactics to end the boycott. Their public statements dont allude to real change. In some instances students were called individually into the Principals office. On Friday, Sarah White was called down and given a patronizing this isnt like you speech and was told in no uncertain terms to knock it off because they were going to sort it out with Chartwells. Sarah was tired of being pressured to have a take-it-on-the-chin attitude out of some unwarranted sense of respect and not making a scene in order to keep up appearances. It sounds like the school system is considering changes to the credit system, but as far as major changes to the quality of the food, students are proceeding with the boycott. Until they see those actual changes, they just arent buying it.

1	'Over the course of three years of research,' NCI study head Dr. Frederick Courson said, 'one clear, immutable fact emerged: You work hard, and you should definitely reward yourself.' Continued Courson: 'So why not treat yourself to that special thing you've had your eye on for so long? If you had any doubt before, put it to rest, because we have found, with 99.3 percent accuracy, that you deserve it.' Among the items the study found you to be worth: rich, creamy milk chocolate; a restful, luxurious mattress featuring patented ComfortCoils; a truck you can trust; a china set as sophisticated as you are; and a wide-screen TV that brings the game right into your living room. 'Go ahead and spoil yourself for once,' Courson said. 'Because isn't it about time you took care of you?' In addition to scouring magazine ads and television commercials for evidence that you are worth it, Courson said the NCI team consulted a number of leading you experts, including daytime-talk-show hosts and executives at such companies as Hagen-Dazs, Carnival Cruise Lines, Elizabeth Arden and Mercedes-Benz. NCI researchers found abundant proof of your worthiness in advertisements. While nearly 650 watch manufacturers ran ads praising you for your ability to distinguish a quality timepiece from a cheap imitation, 475 shoe manufacturers noted that you have the ability to feel their commitment to you in every step. In addition, approximately 1,800 tourism brochures stressed that a person like you deserves to be pampered on your next vacation. Just some of the many products you so richly deserve. Based on your limitless merit, the NCI study concluded that you should settle for nothing less than the best. 'You're smart enough to know what you really want, so go ahead and get it,' Courson said. 'There's really no reason not to, as all of our research indicates that you won't regret it.' The NCI study noted that by refusing to settle for second-best, you might have to pay a little bit more money, but it's well worth it. 'Now more than everconsidering the fact that you're probably between the ages of 23 and 40, and spend at least 60 percent of your annual disposable income on clothing, entertainment and impulse purchasesyou deserve it,' Courson said. 'And, based on our data, it's clear that you've more than earned it.' Though the study reported that you may not be the richest person in the world, you still have enough sophistication to want the good things in life. And though you may not be a model, you have a style that's all your own. 'Go ahead,' said In Style magazine associate editor Marilyn Oberst, a study consultant. 'You're genuine, and you love life... so live it to the fullest.' Though the report was generally positive about you, pointing out many of your strengths, it did include one warning: Because you are so driven and lead such an active life, you sometimes forget to just slow down and do something nice for yourself. 'Take time out for number one,' said Sherri Dupre, a regional buyer for The Body Shop. 'After all, if you don't, who will?' Across the U.S., discriminating people like yourself are agreeing with the study's findings. 'My golf partner Ken asked me if he should get rid of his three-year-old Lexus and lease one of those new BMWs,' said Larry Nystrom, a Seattle investment banker. 'I told him, 'You're worth it, Ken, now more than ever.'' 'I just started using Clinique's Revitaderm skin-conditioning system, which nourishes and replenishes while it moisturizes,' said Danielle Duvall of Boca Raton, FL. 'It's a lot more expensive than the Almay system I used before, but why should a woman like me deny myself something I want?' 
3	The Spice That Prevents Fluoride From Destroying Your BrainSayer Ji Fluorides neurotoxicity has been the subject of academic debate for decades, and now a matter of increasingly impassioned controversy among the general public, as well. From conspiracy theories about it being first used in drinking water in Russian and Nazi concentration camps to chemically lobotomize captives, to its now well-known IQ lowering properties, to its ability to enhance thecalcification of the pineal gland the traditional seat of the soul many around the world, and increasingly in the heavily fluoridated regions of the United States, are starting to organize at the local and statewide level to oust this ubiquitous toxicant from municipal drinking water. Now, a new study published in the Pharmacognosy Magazine titled, Curcumin attenuates neurotoxicity induced by fluoride: An in vivo evidence, adds experimental support to the suspicion that fluorideis indeed a brain-damaging substance, also revealing that a natural spice-derived protective agent against the various health effects associated with this compound is available. The study was authored by researchers from the Department of Zoology, University College of Science, M.L. Sukhadia University, Udaipur, India, who have spent the past decade investigating the mechanisms through which fluoride induce severe neurodegenerative changes in the mammalian brain, particularly in cells of the hippocampus and cerebral cortex.[i] [ii] The study focused on fluoride induced neurotoxicity, identifying excitoxicity (stimulation of the neuron to the point of death) and oxidative stress as the two main drivers of neurodegeneration. It has been observed that subjects with the condition known as fluorosis, a mottling of tooth enamel caused by excessive exposure to fluoride during tooth development, also have neurodegenerative changes associated with a form of oxidative stress known as lipid peroxidation (rancidity). Excess lipid peroxidation in the brain can lead to a decrease in total brain phospholipid content. Owing to these well-known mechanisms of fluoride associated neurotoxicity and neurodegeneration, the researchers identified the primary polyphenol in the spice turmeric known as curcumin as an ideal agent worth testing as a neuroprotective substance. Previous research on curcumin indicates that it is capable of activing as an antioxidant in 3 distinct ways by protecting against: 1) singlet oxygen 2) hyrodxyl radicals and 3) superoxide radical damage. Also, curcumin appears to raise endogenous glutathione production in the brain, a major antioxidant defense system. In order to assess the neurotoxic effects of fluoride and prove curcumins protective role against it, researchers randomly divided up mice into four groups, for 30 days: In order to ascertain the effect of treatment, the researchers measured the malondialdehyde (MDA) content in the brains of the different treated mice. MDA is a well-known marker of oxidative stress/damage. As was expected, the fluoride (F) only treatment group showed significantly elevated MDA levels vs. the non-fluoride treated control. The F + Curcumin group saw reduced MDA levels vs. the fluoride only group, demonstrating curcumins neuroprotective activity against fluoride associated neurotoxicity. The study concluded, Discussion This is far from the first study to demonstrate curcumins remarkable brain-saving properties. From the perspective of the primary research alone, there are over two hundred peer-reviewed published studies indicating that curcumin is a neuroprotective agent. On our own turmeric database we have 115 articles proving this statement: Turmeric Protects The Brain. We have also featured studies on turmerics ability to protect and restore the brain: Considering the many chemical insults we face on a daily basis in the post-industrial world, turmeric may very well be the worlds most important herb, with over 600 evidence-based healthapplications.

1	While the nations mainstream popularity has largely diminished in recent years, sources confirmed this week that the United States still retains a passionate fan base composed of a few extremely dedicated followers. America does not enjoy the same kind of relevance or widespread acclaim it used to, but there are still a few holdout devotees who closely follow whatever the country does, sociologist Sophie Kellerman said, adding that those individuals who are still into America are really into America. There isnt a whole lot of international appeal anymore, and many former enthusiasts have been disappointed by the countrys more recent choices and overall direction. However, theres a certain niche group that seems to remain die-hard fans no matter what. Kellerman added that while its too late for the United States to go out on top, it could still salvage some of its former glory and end its run on a high note. 
2	U.S. Pilots Turn On Obama, Take THIS Massive Stand Against Him According to recent reports, the US Air Force is taking matters into their own hands to prevent another Chattanooga, TN style attack on Air Force facilities. As it turns out, when U.S. officers are equipped with a firearm, there is a greater likelihood that attacks will be stopped in their tracks when an attack takes place. Thats common sense for most of us, but doesnt seem to register with our Commander in Chief. Additionally, the U.S. Air Force has informed their continental U.S. facility commanders that their soldiers will be permitted to carry firearms, even while off duty and out of uniform. The best part? Theyre already doing these things, without the presidents permission. They are the ones tasked with protecting our nation from enemies, both foreign and domestic. What do you think? Are you happy to see security coming before Obamas own agendas? 
3	Non-Profits Use Vaccines to Control Africas PopulationSusanne Posel, Contributor Through the Millennium Villages Project (MVP), African communities are invasively forced to adhere to preconceived strategies to control population through the securitization of food supplies, kept underfoot in impoverished conditions; yet the issue of vaccination appears to be the answer to all these problems. The Earth Institute at Columbia University is a financier of the MVP. Sachs is asserting that the propaganda supported by his non-profit corporation will give the MVP more funding while simultaneously giving them more power to become a major movement within the vaccine agenda culture. MVP is also funded by various UN factions, such as UNAIDS, AGRA, UNOPS, UNICEF, and the Millennium Development Project. These UN supporters are currently working to control the crop yields and food supplies of third world countries such as Africa. They are responsible for the invasion of corporations into these regions for the purpose of privatizing resources such as water, energy and agricultural lands for profit. Through specific low-cost health-care services the MVP has become active within their concerned categories of disease. The push toward vaccinating the whole of Africa as a hidden strategy to eradicate such diseases as malaria serves well and allows the MVP to continue their agenda. The MMR, the polio vaccine and the new HIV vaccine which are laced with live cultures of the diseases they purport to stop at purveyed along the African landscape. An estimated $15 billion in humanitarian aid is a cover for the implementation of complete vaccination of the third world countries populations. Sachs is also a climate change alarmist who believes that global use of nuclear power will improve the environment and eliminate climate change. He claims that atomic energy produces low-carbon emissions. He says that renewable energy will not produce enough power for the worlds needs, while flooding the atmosphere with carbon dioxide. We wont meet the carbon targets if nuclear is taken off the table, he said. Through irresponsible use of energy sources such as nuclear power and the population control agenda through use of vaccines, professors like Sachs and non-profit organizations such as MVP will continue to flourish.

3	Will Baby Boomers Be Able to Stay in Their Homes?Susan Boskey By all indications and according to a report released by the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies on September 2, 2014, Housing Americas Older Adults, housing will become an issue based on the projection that by 2030 the number of adults age 65 and older will be 73 million, more than double the number in 2014. The issues arise as a result of many different factors, not just due to the fact of the size of this particular population. Whereas the household budget of working-age Boomers, though burdened with debt, usually covered expenses; all that has changed. Now we witness these same over-50 people trying to cope in a very different economic environment. The combined factors of less savings, more credit-card and auto-loan debt (than their parents), defined-benefit retirement plans instead of company pensions, fixed incomes, and a skyrocketing cost of living, have set the personal economy of Boomers on tilt. Its not a pretty picture. The Housing Americas Older Adults Report confirms these realities when it additionally projects that over the next 10-year period there will be a 40% increase from 2014 in the number of 65+ households that will live below the poverty level of $15,000. One conclusion made by the authors of the report is that a large percentage of Boomers will have to dig into their monthly housing budget to cover the ever-rising costs of transportation, food and medical bills. But will they be able to keep their homes? No big surprise, that when it comes to solutions, the authors focus on the failing of the U.S. Government (government assistance) for low-income seniors instead of addressing the utter failure of the monetary system itself. Not seeing the forest for the trees, sadly, government is part of the problem, colluding with central banking and creating systemic money mechanics that erode purchasing power for the 99%. For this very reason, waiting for the government to do the right thing for you, for your retirement, is like asking the fox to guard the hen house. Not only is it not going to happen; it is impossible for it to happen. Why? The political system (government) does not have decision-making power over the monetary system. While the current monetary system remains intact, we will continue to come up short, especially in our later years, no matter how the government might increase entitlements. Its mathematical fact, not opinion. Seeing the writing on the wall by updating our financial IQ turns the spotlight back to each of us. Reinspirement replaces retirement, and is the light at the end of the tunnel. The more Boomers who get it going and set an example, the easier it will become, especially for the next generations who will need it even more. Susan Boskey is author of the book, The Quality Life Plan: 7 Steps to Uncommon Financial Security. The information in the book not only exposes the systemic-root cause of the 2008-09 economic meltdown but, perhaps more importantly, provides critical steps to help everyday people turn the tide and build real wealth.

1	Sources at the Gregson-Turner Paper Co. confirmed that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney spent the vast majority of his visit to the company's Ohio-based factory Tuesday yelling at employees to work harder. Romney, who said the stop was an essential part of his tour of America's manufacturing sector, arrived at the facility at approximately 10 a.m. and within minutes began mercilessly hounding workers throughout the plant to 'get their acts together' and 'start pounding out some paper, c'mon.' 'You people have been at work for nearly four hours and this is all you have to show for it? With all of this equipment?' a frustrated Romney reportedly shouted from the center of the factory while standing near several dozens crates of the day's completed paper supply. 'What a truly pathetic performance. You guys better think about tightening things up around here fast, because what I'm seeing right now is completely unacceptable.' 'For God's sake, there should be 20 to 30 percent more paper out here!' Romney added. According to sources, the GOP candidate continually screamed at workers throughout the expansive paper mill to 'stop slacking off,' and in some cases even stood behind individual employees for as long as 15 minutes, loudly critiquing what he called the 'unbelievable sloppiness' on display during every step of the paper's production cycle. 'This is what they're paying you to do?' sources said Romney barked to a lone worker transferring large rags of cotton pulp into a metallic spinning cylinder. 'You're just embarrassing yourself now, aren't you? For Christ's sake, put your back into it! God knows you'll be making this up in overtime.' 'And what the hell do you all think you're doing?' Romney then said to the room of workers now standing and staring at the scene. 'Get back to work!' Onlookers said the former Massachusetts governor later walked into the company's cafeteria and told workers on their lunch break that '10 minutes was more than enough time to eat a damned sandwich,' coarsely reminding them that 'the paper wasn't going to produce itself out there.' The few employees who attempted to shake Romney's hand were quickly reprimanded by the candidate, who curtly told them to return to their jobs, telling them his visit was not 'some sort of excuse to have a social hour.' Sources said the former Massachusetts governor also provided several ideas for improving productivity at the facility, the majority of which, according to Romney, involved 'trimming the fat' and 'finally getting around to chucking out some of the dead weight around [the factory].' 'Now, someone like you we can easily fire,' Romney was overheard telling an employee removing paper bales from the mill's loading space. 'How exactly are you essential? No, honestly, give me one good reasonjust onewhy you should have a paying job here. Because I look at you and all I see is a pink slip and an extra 25 grand a year that could be funneled somewhere else.' 'I'm telling you, I've seen machines do your job way, way faster and for free,' added Romney, jutting a finger into the man's face. 'Remember that. And wipe that stupid look off your face.' According to company officials, Romney proceeded to outline how dozens of jobs across the paper mill were unnecessary, noting that terminations would be required because, while there were much-needed managerial roles to be filled, current employees 'lacked even a basic education' and could not seriously be considered for them. 'See, if I were in charge, I'd probably just move the entire plant to Taiwan and save us all a big chunk of change,' Romney said. 'It's stupid to overpay a massive, bloated staff like this when someone faster and younger can do all this overseas for a fraction of the price. That's just common business sense. You'd seriously have to be an idiot not to see that, but hey, maybe that's exactly what I'm dealing with here: idiots.' 'Thanks for all of your support again, guys,' Romney added as he left the factory. 
1	Exasperated after a string of bad dates, Catholic martyr St. Jude vowed Monday never to respond to another personals ad. 'Man, talk about hopeless causes,' the holy figure said. 'Do I have a sign on my head saying, 'Losers of the world, contact St. Jude?' I mean, these were some big-time desperate cases.' Jude added that, from now on, he will respond only to direct prayer delivered in a Roman Catholic Church. 
1	Calling it the most effective tool to date in the War on Terror, the Pentagon announced Monday that it had developed a new chemical weapon called 'ennui gas,' a nerve agent that overwhelms its victims with sudden philosophical distress over the meaningless tedium of human life and a sinking sense that everything they have ever accomplished ultimately amounts to dust. 'When the enemy inhales the gas, he will immediately retreat to his bedroom, lock the door, stare at the ceiling, pick idly at his fingernails, and muse upon the similarities between fingernails and the fragility of life,' Defense Secretary Robert Gates said. 'While he broods over the futility of memory extinguished and the plaintive whisper of existence unhaunted by all but nothingness, that is when we strike.' 'Given the enemy's state of mind, he will probably not even care,' Gates added. Recently disclosed Pentagon documents indicate that the gas has a dissemination radius of four to eight miles, and that neither protective masks nor a positive outlook on life can prevent infection. Symptoms include uncontrollable sighing, repeated utterances of the phrase 'What's the use?' a confusion and bitterness regarding one's place in the universe, and an increased proclivity to listen to Lou Reed records. If one's skin comes into contact with the agent, the physical effects are more severe. These include a sudden numbing of the very soul, a feeling that one is being crushed under the weight of the emptiness all around him, and mild eye irritation. 'Seeing life through the watery lens of pain and hopelessness will significantly weaken the enemy,' Gates said. More than half of those exposed to ennui gas will suffer some permanent effects, including the tendency to view their existence not as a rich tapestry woven by memory and experience, but as one transitory life's insignificant brushstroke on the canvas of eternity. The Pentagon has reportedly been developing the ennui gas for five years, working alongside a team comprising molecular chemist Dr. Sigmund Falstaff, chemical warfare expert Dr. Adrian T. Heinzig, and Dave Eggers. Though they discovered early on that chloroethanol mixed with nitric acid produces an intense disinterest in action, society, and the world in general, it took three years to re-create the indescribable longing condemned to remain unsatisfied. This vague sense of existential angst was finally produced by synthesizing potassium sulfide with phosphorus trichloronate. According to the Pentagon, lower-grade ennui gas was tested as a crowd-dispersal agent in Islamabad, Pakistan last year. Police reported that within five minutes of releasing the toxin, the rioters abandoned their protest and began penning lamenting odes to various species of bird. 'I am nothing,' said Sayid Al Nazer, one of those who was exposed to the gas. 'We are nothing.' Though critics allege that the gas violates the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention treaty, the U.S. claims the substance is legal because it is not physically harmful. The military assured Amnesty International and other human-rights groups that ennui gas causes no pain, save for the pain of realizing that one has wasted his life. As proof, Pentagon representative Byron Christie voluntarily inhaled a small amount of ennui gas at a private press conference last week. 'Because ennui gas is a nonpersistent substance, it is highly probable that its victims will someday feel whole again,' said Christie, suddenly furrowing his brow and gripping his temples. 'Then again, no one is truly whole, are they? We are all just pieces of flesh and bone masquerading as life, and the world will go on without me, my absence unnoticed, death as futile as life. Pain hath no sting, and pleasure's wreath no flower.' Christie then lay down behind the podium and told members of the press to leave, repeatedly stating that there is no point to it all. Pentagon officials still refuse to comment on rumors that they are close to completing an experimental mutagen that would transform its victims' DNA into that of television star Kelsey Grammer.

2	Justice Watchdog Trey Gowdy Steps Up In A Way He Never Has Before, This Changes Everything At this point, there is no question that Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is an experienced criminal. Americans are frustrated that she continues to get away with her years as the most corrupt Secretary of State in our nations history. Congressman Trey Gowdy has risked his career and his reputation in an effort to bring Hillary to justice. Thus far, she has evaded all of his moves. We can only hope his next one can take him down for good. He argued that American voters who vigorously disagree with how the Justice Department has handled Hillarys prosecution have the power to replace them with a new Justice Department. Out of all of this, five immunity agreements and a really unusual investigation about national security matters with hundreds of classified emails, not one single person is going to face a legal consequence, Gowdy commented. That means this case is dead in the later, he added, before amending the statement to say. It is dead in the water other than what I said in the past. There are multiple groups in our culture that provide oversight. There is the executive branch, theres Congress, theres you in the media, but on November 8th, the real jury gets to weigh in, and if they think this Department of Justice has been publicized, they are welcome to replace it with another Department of Justice, he concluded. What do you think? Do you support Gowdy in his efforts?

Youre not going to change the Second Amendment, OReilly told reporters. I have a right to protect myself. I dont have a script here. I am just talking to President Obama right now. OReilly went on to point out that Chicago, Obamas former city, has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation and is still one of the most violent. You mention the individual things, like what happened in Oregon, OReilly continued. But Chicago, its like it doesnt even exist. OReilly went on to claim that he has a right to protect himself from those who intend to harm the innocent. If I live out in rural Oregon, where the nearest cop is 40 miles away, I cant have a gun to protect my family? OReilly concluded. Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

1	Seth Poole's employee-identification card is a revealing indicator of the toll that two years of work at Blue Juice, Inc. has taken on the internal auditor's appearance and overall health, sources close to the 37-year-old revealed Monday. Poole shows signs of wear not present in his ID from two years ago (below). 'I happened to see Seth's ID sitting on his desk the other day, and I let out a gasp that could be heard across the hall,' Blue Juice accountant Joan Brandywine said. 'It didn't look like the same person. I thought, 'Dear God, what happened to that young, vibrant man who walked into the May 2002 employee-orientation session?'' Blue Juice, whose sales topped $50 million last year, is one of the fastest-growing organic-juice brands in the country. Hired by Blue Juice CEO Benjamin Valdavia, Poole said he was initially excited to join the small but rapidly expanding company. Poole's ID card, however, reveals his growing disillusionment with both Valdavia and Blue Juice. Assigned the task of assisting Valdavia in the expansion of the company's operations in order to ready it for a broader domestic market, Poole said he soon found his job to be 'less engaging' than he had originally expected. As evidenced by the ID, over the course of 24 months on the job, Poole was transformed from a boyish-looking 35 to a haggard, sallow 37. Other Blue Juice staff members who have seen the card attest to Poole's dramatic aging. Photo ID Shows Toll Job Has Taken On Employee 'That ID shows a man who's excited to be working for a company that offers a high-quality, all-natural product,' executive assistant Mandy Keefer said. 'That's not really what Seth is like. Not anymore. At our last team meeting, Seth kept repeating that the package redesign we're planning is a big waste of money that the company doesn't have. Then he said, 'I don't know why I even bother coming in to work.' I'll bet he can blame at least a couple of those crow's feet of his on those redesign prototypes.' Keefer estimated that, every time Valdavia says 'vision can't be charted on spreadsheets,' Poole loses 75 hairs. 'Yesterday, I walked into the breakroom and found Seth leaning over the donuts, picking frosting off a Long John, and mumbling, 'If Ben does his fishing-out-of-his-wastebasket gag one more time, I walk,'' Keefer added. 'It wasn't pretty.' Jason Marshall, a security guard in the building where Blue Juice is headquartered, said he was initially confused by the image on Poole's ID card. 'I saw this old guy flashing some young guy's ID, so I stopped him,' Marshall said. 'Once I saw the photo up close, I could tell it was [Poole]. Man, the last couple years have been hard on that guy.' While Poole seemed unaware of the dramatic change in his appearance, he did report that his health has taken a turn for the worse in recent months. He said he developed a duodenal ulcer earlier this year, shortly after he discovered that Valdavia had extorted cash from the company's 401K matching fund for renovations on his Vermont lake house. 'When I found out [about the embezzlement], I said to him, in a tone of voice you'd reserve for a child, 'Ben, you know this is stealing, right?'' Poole said, his scowl forming deep lines on his forehead. 'And he said, 'How was it stealing when I paid it back within a month?' So I asked Ben if he had heard of any of those recent corporate financial scandals, and he answered that those companies were publicly owned, whereas most of his assets are tied up in Blue Juice. He thought that meant he was entitled to borrow from the employee-retirement account fund for personal reasons.' Poole's face has also borne the ravages of his boss' inconsistently implemented 'open communication' policy; Valdavia's recent declaration to investors that, unbeknownst to his staff, an IPO was imminent; and his tendency to call Poole into his office for lengthy chit-chats when Poole is about to leave for the night. Poole's photo ID does not tell the whole story of his decline. The face on his card only hints at the 10 pounds now missing from his once-muscular body. 'I used to go to the gym, but I haven't seen the inside of Gold's since we started on this new distribution structure,' Poole said. 'I used to eat fairly healthy, too, but I've grown pretty accustomed to snacking on whatever's in the breakroom all day and then grabbing some McDonald's on the way home. I always pair it with a 32-ounce Coke. That's rightsugary, empty-calorie-laden Coke. I refuse to choke down another fucking Blue Juice as long as I live.' Leo Drake, president of Safeguard Solutions, the security-consultant firm that sold Blue Juice its ID-card machine, recommends that companies update their employees' photo IDs annually to prevent a 'reverse Dorian Gray' effect. 'Regularly renewed IDs will reflect the subject's likeness with greater accuracy, improving the ID's functionality as a tool for identity verification,' Drake said. 'In addition, employees won't be confronted every day with proof of their ongoing personal decline.' Drake added: 'By no means should employees be allowed to keep their old IDs, lest they make the connection between their workplace struggles and their unnaturally aged appearances.' 
2	Michelle Obama Caught Partying As Millions Of Americans Suffer There are many words we can think of to describe Michelle Obama, but practical is not one of them. While millions of American struggle to make ends meet, she is busy taking lavish vacationsor more recently, hosting a dance party in the White House. According to reports, Michelle recently invited several African American dance icons to host a dance class for 51 young female dancers in the White House on Monday, in honor of Black History Month. During the party (where no white people were allowed), the girls learned African dance, hip-hop, ballet and modern dance. The majority of the class was taught by Debbie Allen, classical dance instructor Virginia Johnson, hip-hop choreographer Fatima Robinson, Artistic Director Emerita Judith Jamison and Alvin Ailey. Of course, Michelle also used the opportunity to talk about herself and her struggles. We are excited to see you take your place, not just on the stage but in the course of making change in this country, Michelle told the young girls. You all are our next generation. Later, she took to Instagram in an even more desperate attempt to be inspirational. We have the power to keep reaching higher and defying the odds until a black principal dancer is no longer a cause for headlines and our children are limited only by the size of their dreams and their willingness to work for them, she wrote. What do you think? Are you tired of the Obamas fueling racial tensions? Are they only adding to the divide in this country? 
2	Hillary Clinton Blatantly Disrespects All Working Americans... You Will Be Disgusted Hillary Clinton has built 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 a whopping $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? 
3	NYC Mayor to Force Vaccinate Under 5s With Two Dangerous VaccinesChristina England According to the statement of basis and purpose, these vaccines are needed because children serve as a major source of transmission in communities. The statement says: In other words, the mayor believes that all under-five year-olds attending day care facilities should be vaccinated with both the flu vaccine and the pneumococcal vaccine to protect herd immunity. [1] Not only is this policy irresponsible and a total waste of taxpayers money, especially when there are far more pressing issues affecting the lives of children living in the US today, but it is also highly dangerous. Is he unaware that in 2010 there were 7.4 million children living in extreme poverty in America? It has now been estimated that every 21 seconds an American child is born into poverty. Surely providing adequate food and shelter for hungry children would be more beneficial than force-vaccinating them with yet more useless and dangerous vaccines, which according to my research, may not even be not even be compatible! [2] I will discuss the vaccines incompatibility in full, later in the article. They state that half of all flu shots still contain quantities of mercury wildly in excess of maximum daily exposure limits set by the FDA. A forty pound four year-old child injected with a mercurycontaining flu shot would be exposed to more than 1400% mercury considered acceptable for an adult. [3] On October 19, 2013, the Healthy Life reported that the flu vaccination Fluzone marketed this year to seniors in the US was said to have been responsible for the death of 23 seniors in the original trials. They wrote: Dr. Mercola made it very clear last year that Fluzone given to seniors had proven to be exceptionally dangerous. He reported that, according to the CDC, there had been frequent reports of side effects after the high-dose Fluzone vaccine. Dr. Mercola wrote: Dr. Mercola continued by also quoting what was written on the package insert. He wrote that a total of 6.1 percent of seniors injected with the regular Fluzone vaccine experienced a serious adverse event, compared to 7.4 percent of those receiving the high-dose version. He said that, according to the package insert, the SAEs reported during the post-approval use of the vaccine include: Despite knowing that this vaccine has caused the above side effects, the US government once again recommend this vaccination to elderly people again this year. It is not only the seniors who have suffered. Last year the flu vaccine was also said to be responsible for the death of a healthy seven year-old girl, who went for an annual check-up at her local doctors office and received the flu vaccination. The next day she was reported to feel unwell with a fever and a headache and she died in her mothers arms just a few days later. [6] The Nasal Vaccine Can Cause A Healthy Child To Get Flu Symptoms The latest flu vaccine for children is the nasal vaccine FluMist. This vaccine has also been reported to cause adverse reactions. According to MedicineNet.com, the most common side effects of FluMist are cough, runny nose, nasal congestion, sore throat, headache, restlessness, muscle aches, tiredness or weakness and fever. [7] In other words, you take your perfectly healthy child for a vaccine to prevent them from catching the flu and it is highly possible that the vaccine they receive could give them the exact symptoms you were trying to avoid. Does not really sound like a good option, does it? No Safety Studies Done On Combining FluMist With Pneumococcal Vaccines! Another worrying fact that MedicineNet.com has reported is that there have been no studies related to administering FluMist concurrently with inactivated vaccines. They stated: The pneumococcal vaccines are inactivated vaccines and therefore, if they are given alongside the nasal vaccine FluMist, there is no way that parents, the mayor, the government or the manufacturer will know whether it is safe or not! [8] Page three of the statement of basis and purpose stated: This indicates that the mayor has suggested that both the intramuscularly-administered vaccine or the nasal vaccine could be used without even checking if they were both compatible with the pneumococcal vaccines. In fact, I doubt that this concern was even considered as a possibility by the mayor when he decided that children as young as six months should receive both vaccines before attending day care facilities. Surely, before recommending that the government mandate a combination of two vaccinations for the under-fives or anybody else, he should check whether or not the two vaccinations that he is recommending are actually compatible. Members of the public who will be attending this meeting should be made fully aware of this important and possibly life-threatening oversight by the mayor and also the fact that, according to the CDC, pneumococcal vaccines can lead to adverse reactions, including high fevers, low blood pressure, loss of consciousness and anaphylactic shock, before a vote is made on this policy. [9] Voice Your Concerns Now! To attend this meeting and give your views on October 23, 2013, you will need to contact Roslyn Windholz, Secretary to the Board of Health, New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene at (347) 396-6078, extension 6116. The meeting will be held from 10:00 a.m. to mid-day at New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Gotham Center, 42-09 28th Street, 14th Floor, Room 14-45, Long Island City, New York. To pre-register to speak at the hearing, contact Roslyn Windholz at the address or phone number above before October 23, 2013. The Department will also consider written comments about the proposed amendment. Written comments must be received by the Department on or before the date of the hearing. Written comments can be mailed to Roslyn Windholz at the address above. They may also be submitted by e-mail to resolutioncomments@health.nyc.gov or posted electronically (without attachments) at either http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/about/notice.shtml or through NYCRULES at www.nyc.gov/nycrules. [10] Conclusion Surely, unless the mayor of New York City is a qualified doctor or scientist, he should not be recommending the force-vaccination of children as young as six months, no matter how good his intentions are, especially since the two vaccinations he is recommending are possibly completely incompatible with one another and could possibly lead to multiple child deaths in New York City and across America. This is absolutely unforgivable, and in my opinion, he should be severely reprimanded for his actions. I suggest that the public of America join forces and either attend this meeting in person to voice an opinion or send emails as suggested. It is only right that as many people in America on both sides of this argument are heard in full. References: 
1	Pinpointing the phenomenon as the single greatest predictor of human mortality, a paper published Wednesday in The New England Journal Of Medicine has found that people with deceased family members run an extremely high risk of dying themselves. The groundbreaking study, which tracked the health and well-being of 85,000 subjects over a period of 40 years, discovered that people who have one or more relatives who have passed away are very likely, one day, to die as well. It appears that individuals with a family history of death have a strong genetic predisposition toward dying, said the papers lead author, Dr. Samantha Booth, who explained that the finding held true regardless of a subjects race, nationality, gender, or socioeconomic status. Based on anecdotal evidence, weve long suspected an inherited trait could play a major role in determining whether a person dies, but we were surprised to see just how strong the correlation truly is. Unfortunately, for members of this cohort, death appears to be all but inevitable, she continued. According to the studys authors, the likelihood of future mortality remains high regardless of whether ones immediate family members have died, or whether only more distant relations have passed on. Based on their findings, researchers hypothesize that death is handed down through individual lineages, becoming a devastating family curse that is passed from parent to child and which tends not to skip a generation. In addition, a separate study of some 8,000 individuals who died in the Hartford, CT area found that every one of the deceased had ancestors who had died before them, further suggesting a family link. While people from afflicted lineages can reportedly prolong their lives by developing healthy habits such as a nutritious diet and regular exercise, researchers stated that, in the end, no matter how many precautions they take, their genetic susceptibility to dying will win out. We recommend alerting your doctor if theres a history of death in your family, and if you arent certain, you should ask your parents if they know of any fatalities among your relatives, Booth said. This is also important information to know before deciding to have children yourself. Even if your own family is alive and well, its possible there is death somewhere in your partners ancestry. If you have a grandparent or even a great-grandparent who has died, then sadly, the odds of your kids eventually dying are quite high, she added. When reached for comment, several of the studys participants acknowledged they had at least one deceased family member, and expressed their fear and concern to reporters. I feel perfectly healthy now, but knowing that my father died definitely makes me worry that the same thing could happen to me one day, said Randy Lewis, a 49-year-old who took part in the study. But my mom is still alive, so Im keeping my fingers crossed that I take after her side of the family. Added Lewis, Unfortunately, I can only wait and see. 
3	Playing Volleyball For Peace Over the US - Mexico BorderBy Amanda Froelich Political boundaries will never divide those in favor of unity, and locals in Naco, Arizona and Naco, Sonora (Mexico) are demonstrating this. While mainstream media has a tendency to portray the border between the United States and Mexico as a war zone, this is a positive example of diverse populations engaging in play to raise awareness about peaceful collaboration. Concerns like drug trafficking and illegal immigration will, of course, wage on and require solution(s), but this cheerful pursuit between locals along the Mexican-US border is worth sharing. In between the two sister towns in Arizona and in Mexico, locals hold an annual volleyball game (which they call Wallyball) with the border serving as the net. Reports Rafa Fernandez De Castro for Fusion, the game is like a fast-paced version of volleyball. Termed the Fiesta Bi-Nacional, its intended to solidify positive transnational relations between Mexico and the US, despite tensions over migration and other issues. The game has been an integral part of Fiesta Bi-Nacional since 1979 and has inspired similar competitions elsewhere along the US-Mexico border. Shares Quartz, even the US city of San Diego and the Mexican city of Tijuana have taken up impromptu volleyball matches on the sand. In the video at the bottom of the page, you can see a video of Wallyball from 2012. Told Jos Lorenzo Villegas, mayor of Mexican Naco, to Reuters in 2007: For us, it represents the celebration of the union of two countries. Whats unusual is that both the Mexican and US teams are playing at home, with the fence as the net. The border between Mexico and the United States is often clouded by prejudice and morbid media coverage, but this form of activism brings attention to the tense issue in a positive way. Clearly, while both teams may be playing on their respective turf, the game is less about where youre from, and more about the fun to be had when differences are set aside. What are your thoughts?

1	The expansion of the known universe, currently growing at an estimated 80 kilometers per second per megaparsec, should eventually enable Blockbuster to open more than 750 quadrillion locations, spokespersons for the video-rental giant reported Monday. 'With more than 7,700 stores worldwide, Blockbuster is proud to be the world leader in rentable home entertainment,' said chief marketing officer Joe Notarnicola, standing in front of an image of the Milky Way galaxy. 'In fact, growing as we have since our IPO in August 1999, Blockbuster's market saturation on Earth will be reached in the next few years. However, our customers and stockholders will be pleased to learn of the tremendous growth opportunities made possible by the expansion of the known universe.' The 750 quadrillion stores will give customers unprecedented access to movie rentals, PlayStation games, the latest music releases, and much more during their diaspora into deep space. 'We have already approached NASA about the feasibility of launching Blockbuster-store payloads to the solar system's outer planets,' Blockbuster CEO John F. Antioco said. 'Our two-tiered franchising strategy is to have several hundred stores on the moon, Mars, the main belt asteroid Ceres, Jovian moons Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, the A and C rings of Saturn, and the Kuiper Belt asteroid KX 76 by late 2075. From there, we should be able to open a Blockbuster on every corner of this spiral arm of the Milky Way by 2500.' Blockbuster's expansion plan is being praised throughout the known business universe. 'With its aggressive approach, Blockbuster Entertainment will soon be growing at a rate approaching Hubble's Limit,' said Forbes editor Paul Maidment, alluding to the cosmological principle which proposes that the cosmos is growing at a rate which may approach the speed of light. 'Once that happens, there's no stopping this company.' A computer rendering of the post-Blockbuster-expansion universe. 'Certainly, they face challenges,' Maidment continued. 'If accelerations imposed by the expanding universe on the outer celestial bodies affects the structure of space-time itself, rental times and late fees will need to be adjusted accordingly. And getting the latest Hollywood hits to these stores by the release date may be problematic given the distances involved. But such logistical hurdles are hardly insurmountable when you've got the corporate might of [parent company] Viacom behind you.' Though Blockbuster officials acknowledge that their expansion plans are ambitious, they say the company is more than up to the task of saturating the entirety of physical reality. 'We're already exploring megastructures which will move our stores into the universe at the bow wave of human colonization,' said Anthony Andersen, Blockbuster's newly appointed Executive Vice-President of Pan-Universal Franchising. 'The first step will be establishing enormous 'generation ship' outletshuge cylinders rotated along the long axis to simulate gravity and powered by interstellar hydrogen captured by their enormous Bussard ramjets. We'll send these to all the nearest star systems to ensure that every space traveler has access to Guaranteed-To-Be-There new releases.' Andersen also outlined plans to build artificial Blockbuster planets in space and orbit several of them around a stable G-type star, manipulating the star's magnetic field to produce jets of stellar material to serve as motive power, creating a Blockbuster solar system capable of interstellar travel. 'Currently, we're on schedule to do this around the year 25000,' Andersen said. 'Of course, that could happen sooner if customer interest in our new DVD section continues to climb.' Blockbuster has already begun recruiting managers for stores in the outlying reaches of the galaxy, subjecting applicants to rigorous G-force and gravity-sickness tests. Some in the scientific community, however, suspect that the hiring campaign may be premature. 'Blockbuster could conceivably hit its target if its growth and the expansion of the universe continue at their present rates,' said Dr. Marina Shmakova of the California Institute For Physics and Astrophysics. 'But the question they face is, Will the universe continue its expansion? Or will it one day contract into an infinitely dense, white-hot pre-cosmic protomass? These two scenarios lead to two drastically different outcomes: a creation-spanning, ever-growing, omnipotent Blockbuster hive-mind or a single, infinitely dense central location. In either case, where will consumers find the after-hours drop box?' Despite this unanswered question and many others, Blockbuster remains optimistic. 'We won't know the outcome of this business plan for many millennia,' Notarnicola said. 'But whatever happens, there will be a need for a reliable provider to meet your home-entertainment needs. Blockbuster will be there to fill that massive void.' 
1	The U.S. Grammar Guild Monday announced that no more will traditional grammar rules English follow. Instead there will a new form of organizing sentences be. Announces to reporters Joyce Watters grammar rules new English for. U.S. Grammar Guild is Watters president of. U.S. Grammar Guild according to, the new structure loosely on an obscure 800-year-old, pre-medieval Anglo-Saxon syntax is based. The syntax primarily verbs, verb clauses and adjectives at the end of sentences placing involves. Results this often, to ears American, a sentence backward appearing. 'Operating under we are, one major rule,' said Joyce Watters, president of the U.S. Grammar Guild. 'Make English, want we, more archaic and dignified sounding to be, as if every word coming from the tongue of a centuries-old, mystical wizard, is.' Brief pause Watters made then a. 'Know I, know I,' said she. 'Confusing sounds it, but every American used to it soon will be.' At a press conference recent greeted warmly the new measure by President Clinton was. 'No longer will we adhere to the dull, predictable structure of our traditional grammar system. This nation will now begin speaking, writing and listening to something fresh, exciting and different,' said Clinton. 'Excuse me,' added he pause long after a. 'Meant I, the dull, predictable system our traditional grammar of adhere to no longer will we. Speaking, writing and listening to something fresh, exciting and different will this nation now begin.' This week beginning, America across, all dictionaries, thesauruses and any other books or objects with any sort of writing upon it or in it revised to fit the new syntax will be. Libraries assure people wish to that the transition promptly begin will, but that patient people should be, as so much to change there is. 'Feel good it will make people to know for all these changes that, librarians cold, crabby and as paranoid and overprotective of their books and periodicals as ever remain will,' said Yvonne Richter, Director of the Library of Congress. The enthusiasm of government officials despite, many Americans about the new plan upset are. 'Why in the world did they do this?' a New Canaan, CT, insurance salesman, said Brent Pryce. 'There's absolutely no reason. It's utterly pointless and will cause total chaos throughout the country, not to mention the fact that it will cost billions of dollars to implement. And what's this U.S. Grammar Guild, anyway? I've never heard of it.' When of this complaint informed, government officials that they could not the man's words understand said, because of the strange, unintelligible way of speaking he was.

1	A study conducted at the University of San Diego found that during an average night's sleep, at least 14 different animals, ranging from ants to Gila monsters to wounded possums, are likely to scurry, slither, or crawl across a slumbering individual's body. 'You become a virtual playground for these creatures mere minutes after you fall asleep, inhaling dozens of insects and swallowing up to 17 spiders during an eight-hour period,' lead researcher Jack Paulette told reporters Thursday, adding that earwig colonies spend each night hatching thousands of their young in and around human genitalia. 'If youre lying in bed and feel as if something has just brushed across your leg, that's because something actually has. In most cases, snakes.' Paulette added that it's not uncommon for a baby mountain goat to clamber upon one's shoulder at night in an attempt to find purchase, and that people who awaken with mountain-goat afterbirth in their bedsheets should know they aren't alone. 
3	Drone-vertising: Great, Now UAVs Are Going to be Flying around Selling Us StuffMelissa Melton Or maybe we just permanently live in 1984 year after year after year Apparently the next trendy new thing will be drones flying around everywhere trying to sell you stuff. Thats right. Tagline? Advertising has never been so high. Meet drone-vertising (via Yahoo! News): Yes, drones, too: Ads of the World and PSFK have brought to our attention the concept of drone-vertising, in this case represented by Moscow-based agency Hungry Boys. As depicted in the video below, the idea was to hype a local restaurant chain by dispatching a bunch of drones, carrying promotional signage, as they float by office windows and along sidewalks, encouraging office workers to stop by for lunch at the restaurant. Working in a highrise? Dont be surprised when a little drone flies past your window holding a sign that says, Eat at Joes. (Or five of them every five minutes) Another company, DroneCast, will use drones to fly targeted ad banners around town: Other drones have projectors built in which will fly around cities and project ads on the sides of buildings at night. The casual observer is likely thinking of all the ways in which this situation can and will get annoying real fast. However, when confronted with these videos (and the cheesy marketing muzak playing in their backgrounds), I cant help but think of the slippery slope to pervasiveness and abuse were all riding on with this. We already live in a country where our government has openly declared we are being spied upon all the time. Im sure things cant get any creepier, right? In Russia, drones are already delivering pizzaand Amazon has discussed delivering products via drone as well, an idea for which the company is spending millions in lobbying efforts in Washington (countless hours at the FAA, apparently) as we speak.

1	Nugget's forward Carmelo Anthony made no secret of his displeasure with game officials Monday night after being whistled for a rarely called traveling-through-time foul late in the fourth quarter of Denver's 125-123 loss to the Rockets. 'Everybody knows they only call time-traveling when they want to,' said Anthony, who could clearly be seen taking two steps back in time to warn himself about an impending pick by Rockets forward Shane Battier. 'You see it called, what? Every other game? Once a week? But everybody knows that guys are doing it all the time out there.' The NBA traveling-through-time call is a longtime bone of contention for fans and players alike, most of whom claim that, although the rule is on the books, officials are reluctant to slow down the flow of the game by calling it too often. 'All I'm asking is that they be consistent,' Anthony said. 'You're gonna call me in the fourth quarter for a piddly little case of going back to warn myself about a pick, then call me in the first quarter for going back to take the same jumper three times until I hit it. Me or anybody.' While the NBA did not respond directly to Anthony's allegations, vice president of referee operations Joe Borgia did tell reporters that the traveling-through-time rule 'has been, and will continue to be, enforced in order to preserve both game integrity and continuity and to preserve the fundamental fabric of the universe.' Borgia noted that the NBA rulebook clearly states that a player may not progress the ball by sliding into parallel dimensions, and said consideration must be made for human error on the part of the officials making the call, as well as for the reality-altering nature of the offense itself. The NBA claims it has always taken a hard stance on flagrant and repeat violators of the traveling-though-time rule, saying it wants to avoid a total breakdown of basketball causality as we know it. Borgia said he has evidence suggesting there are several parallel-universe NBAs, including one in which the Nuggets won 16 straight championships before moving to Luna City, a timeline in which Anthony's name figures heavily. In other alternate worlds, where time-traveling is never called, the Utah Jazz of the 1990s were led by famous married couple Karl Malone and John Stockton, who won five championships together; a great Magic Johnson/Larry Bird partnership blossomed in Atlanta; and the WNBA challenges the men's league for sports dominance. 'Already we have some questions we'd like answered in our own league, such as why the Celtics are struggling more than you'd think, why Kevin Durant is almost unstoppable all of a sudden, and why Shaquille O'Neal has suddenly turned up in Mathew Brady's Civil War photographs,' Borgia said. 'And as always, our biggest worry is potential gambling.' Anthony, for his part, said he would accept the NBA's ruling, but maintained that the league has a different set of space-time rules for their favorites, a common belief among pro players. It is reportedly an article of faith in today's NBA that LeBron James regularly travels through time during games, including every time he uses his trademark Evolution Crossover move, but James has not been the subject of a traveling-through-time call since January. Perhaps the most infamous time-traveling perpetrator is Michael Jordan, acknowledged as the greatest player of all time; Jordan eventually became infamous for executing a move of almost superhuman skill and grace at one moment, and in the next, throwing a no-look pass to a future Jordan who would take four steps after exiting a wormhole and dunk the ball. 'No, of course Jordan never got called. But me? I'm not a golden boy, so they decide to whistle me for a rinky-dink little time-jumper in a game we lose to Houston by two points,' Anthony said. 'Come on! It's not like they're going to catch the Blazers for eighth place anyway unless they rewind the clock and stop Yao from breaking his foot.' ESPN basketball analyst Bruce Bowen, discussing Anthony's remarks on Wednesday night's SportsCenter, was sympathetic to player frustrations, but said the answer was to make the call more often, not less. While Bowen acknowledged that referees seem to let the call slide more often than not, he was quick to point out that Anthony clearly took an extra step into the glowing energy portal just minutes after he stepped out of it to speak to himself. In addition, Bowen said these actions were messing with the integrity of both the game and the fourth dimension, and will ultimately have unpredictable far-reaching implications on more than just player morale. 'For instance, did anyone who watched the Rockets-Nuggets game Monday night notice that mustache on Shane Battier as he threw that pick? Clearly this is an alternate Shane Battier from a parallel time continuum, possibly an evil one, brought into our world by the time-traveling abuses of our NBA players. The league has to crack down on this behavior before it's too late.' 
3	70 Things That Can and Will Go Wrong in a DisasterGaye Levy, Contributor That brings me to the topic of todays article: 70 Things That Can Go Wrong in a Disaster. I recently came across a listing of things that can go wrong during and following a disaster and while the list is not my original work, I felt that it was a list worth sharing. Some of the points are common knowledge, but others were surprising and to be honest, a bit disconcerting as well. Most of the 70 items are negative and many go against what we commonly believe will occur as first responders and rescuers come on the scene. So what is a prepper to do? Read through the list, remind yourself that trained personnel are human too, and that even with the best of training, mistakes will be made. Things that will go wrong in a disaster 1. In an earthquake, there may be violent ground shaking; it will seem to last much longer than it actually does. 2. Fires will occur, caused by electrical shorts, natural gas, fireplaces, stoves, etc. 3. Fires in collapsed buildings will be very difficult to control. 5. Emergency equipment and field units will commit without being dispatched. There will be an air of urgency and more requests for aid than units available to send. 6. Communications will be inadequate; holes will appear in the system and air traffic will be incredibly heavy. 7. Trained personnel will become supervisors because they will be too valuable to perform hands-on tasks. 8. Responding mutual aid units will become lost; they will require maps and guides. 9. Water will be contaminated and unsafe for drinking. Tankers will be needed for fire fighting and for carrying drinking water. 10. Citizens will volunteer but their commitment will usually be short-term. 11. There may be a multitude of hazardous materials incidents. 12. Aircraft will flood the area; law enforcement, fire, media, civilian, commercial and military aircraft will be a major concern. 13. The Command Post and/or EOC will be overrun with non-essential personnel; media, geologists, architects, engineers, representatives from other jurisdictions, etc. 14. Staging will be essential; the flow of personnel, equipment and supplies will be overwhelming. 15. Although it is an EOC function, the Field Command Post will become the temporary seat of government. 16. Electric power will be interrupted or will fail completely. 17. It will be difficult to shut off the gas; valves that are seldom, if ever, used will be difficult to find, and may not work when they are found. 18. Phone service will be erratic or non-existent. Pay phones will be the most reliable. 19. The media will have the best communications available; be prepared to share or impound their resources. 20. Fuel will not be available because there will be no electricity to run the pumps. 21. There will be an epidemic of flat tires; police, fire, and emergency medical vehicles will sustain a multitude of flat tires that will require repair in the field. 22. Fires will need to be investigated; mutual aid should include arson investigators. 23. The primary police department concern will be law enforcement; there will not be sufficient time or manpower to provide miscellaneous services. 24. It will be dark; there will not be enough generators or lights available. 25. Portable toilets will be in demand; there will be no place to go, and if a place is found there will be six photographers there to cover the event. 26. The perimeter will be difficult to control; citizens and media alike will offer good reasons why they should be allowed to enter the restricted area. 27. Search dogs will be needed early in the operation. 28. Documentation will be very important; there will be a multitude of requests for information later. 29. Riveted steel (oil and water storage) tanks may fail. 30. Streets will be impassable in some areas; it will be necessary to clear streets of rubble in order to conduct emergency operations. 31. The same buildings will be searched more than once unless they are clearly marked. 32. In earthquakes, there will be after shocks; they will hamper emergency operations, create new fears among the citizenry and may cause more destruction than the original shock. 33. Many injured people will have to find their own way to medical treatment facilities. 34. Volunteer and reserve personnel may be slow to respond; they will put their own families safety first. 35. On-duty public safety personnel will be concerned about their own families, and some may leave their posts to check on them. 36. Law enforcement and the media will clash; all media representatives should be referred to the Public Information Officer. 37. Very few citizens will utilize evacuation/mass care centers; they will prefer to stay with friends and relatives, or to camp out in their own yards. 38. Structural engineers will be needed to evaluate standing buildings for use as evacuation centers, command posts, information centers, first aid stations. 39. The identification of workers and volunteers will be a problem; it will be difficult to determine who is working where and on what. 40. There will be rumors; people will be listening to their radios and must be given accurate information. 41. There will not be enough handie-talkies; batteries will soon go dead. 42. Many fire hydrants will be inaccessible (covered or destroyed by rubble) or inoperable. 43. Generators will run out of fuel; jerry cans of fuel must be obtained early to maintain generator powered lighting and communications. 44. Critical facilities will have to be self-sufficient; gas, lights, water and sewage may be out for days. 45. Emergency responders will require rest and must be relieved. Local personnel may be of value as guides for mutual aid responders, or as supervisors for volunteer crews. 46. Equipment will be lost, damaged or stolen, and may never be accounted for. 47. Someone will get the bill; record-keeping and accounting procedures will be important. 48. Traditional non-emergency personnel will want to go home at 5 oclock; all public employees must be made to realize that they are a part of the emergency response team. 49. People will die and there is nothing that can be done about it. Non-public safety personnel will not understand why everyone cannot be saved. Priorities must be set to save the most lives possible. 50. Dead bodies should not be an initial concern. Rescuing the living should be the first priority. 51. If phones are working, the number of requests for service will be overwhelming. People will have to fend for themselves; it will be difficult for dispatchers to ignore these pleas for help. 52. Some field units will disappear; you will not be able to reach them and will not know where they are or what they are doing. 53. Security will have to be posted at hospitals, clinics, and first-aid stations to control hysterical citizens demanding immediate attention. 54. Representatives from public agencies throughout the United States and many foreign countries will want to come and observe the operations or offer assistance. They will be a significant problem. 55. Department heads (EOC) staff may not have a working knowledge of their assigned areas of responsibility, and will play it by ear. 56. Some citizens and media representatives will question your decisions because they will not recognize that the safety of field responders is paramount. 57. There are no critically injured in a disaster; only those who are dead or alive. 58. Handicapped and disabled persons will probably die unless personal family and friends can care for them and maintain their life-support systems. 59. Management will not be familiar with field response procedures, and may attempt to change standard operating procedures. 60. Emergency responders (public safety and medical alike) will not be adequately trained to respond efficiently. 61. There will be initial chaos; supplies, materials and equipment needed will not be readily available. 62. There will be a general lack of necessary information; coordinators will want to wait for damage/casualty assessment information to establish priorities. 63. Emergency equipment will not be able to reach some locations because of traffic jams. Tow trucks will be at a premium. Parked or abandoned vehicles will block streets, and emergency responders will be the worst offenders. 64. Even though there will not be enough people to initially deal with emergencies, many available personnel will never be identified and never used. After the initial shock, there will be too many volunteers. 65. General information will be offered in response to specific questions because field units cannot verify the requested information. 66. Individual public safety officers will be asked to do the work of squads or companies; they will have to recruit volunteers on the spot to provide assistance to their efforts. 67. The message flow to, from, and within the EOC and Field Command Post will break down and become inefficient and unmanageable. 68. There will be an over critical desire to verify all incoming information. If it is received from a field unit, it should be considered as verified. 69. Some EOC and Command Post personnel will become overloaded; some will not be able to cope with the volume of activity and information they have to deal with, and some will not be able to cope with the noise and distractions. 70. Things will get better some time after they have become considerably worse. Credit for this list: A July 6, 2006 article by Lt. Dan Blackston, Chula Vista Police Department As you read through this list of 70 things that can go wrong following a disaster, realize that while many of these things may not happen each and every time there is an emergency, many of them will indeed occur. And it is true. Things will get better eventually but they may also get a lot worse than you can imagine before the road to recovery begins. As a layman citizen, think about your own needs now and how they might be impacted in an emergency. Recognize and acknowledge up front that if things can go wrong, they will.

1	Declaring that the match-play competition between European and American players was 'going to be a total frickin' blast,' U.S. captain Corey Pavin announced plans Wednesday to get completely hammered before this year's Ryder Cup. 'We might not win, but we're gonna have a hell of a good time this year,' said Pavin, adding that he and his team intend to get fully loaded at the hotel before the alternate-shot matches, and intend to 'drink and just keep on drinking' throughout the entire opening four-ball event. 'I already got a crapload of booze like vodka and whiskey and some of that Apple Pucker schnapps crap for Zach Johnson so he doesn't puss out. And, man, [Jim] Furyk's an animal when he's hammered.' Pavin maintained that the U.S. squad's main goal was to get Phil Mickelson to puke. 
3	The Federal Reserve Seems Quite Serious About Tapering So What Comes Next?Michael Snyder Of course it is important to note that the Fed is still absolutely flooding the financial system with money even after the announcement of more tapering on Wednesday. When you are talking about $55,000,000,000 a month, you are talking about a massive amount of money. So the Fed is not exactly being hawkish. But when Yellen told the press that quantitative easing could end completely this fall and that the Fed could actually start raising interest rates about six months after that, it really spooked the markets. The Dow was down 114 points on Wednesday, and the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries shot up to 2.77%. The following is how CNBC described the reaction of the markets on Wednesday Can the financial markets stand on their own without massive Fed intervention? We shall see. Even now there are lots of signs that a market crash could be coming up in the not too distant future. For much more on this, please see my previous article entitled Is Dr. Copper Foreshadowing A Stock Market Crash Just Like It Did In 2008? And what is going to happen to the market for U.S. Treasuries once the Fed stops gobbling them up? Where is the demand going to come from? In recent months, foreign demand for U.S. debt has really started to dry up. Considering recent developments in Ukraine, it is quite certain that Russia will not be accumulating any more U.S. debt, and China has announced that it is no longer in Chinas favor to accumulate foreign-exchange reserves and China actually dumped about 50 billion dollars of U.S. debt during the month of December alone. Collectively, Russia and China account for about a quarter of all foreign-owned U.S. debt. If you take them out of the equation, foreign demand for U.S. debt is not nearly as strong. Will domestic sources be enough to pick up the slack? Or will we see rates really start to rise once the Fed steps to the sidelines? And of course rates on U.S. government debt should actually be much higher than they are right now. It simply does not make sense to loan the U.S. government massive amounts of money at interest rates that are far below the real rate of inflation. If free market forces are allowed to prevail, it is inevitable that interest rates on U.S. debt will go up substantially, and that will mean higher interest rates on mortgages, cars, and just about everything else. Of course the central planners at the Federal Reserve could choose to reverse course at any time and start pumping again. This is the kind of thing that can happen when you dont have a true free market system. The truth is that the Federal Reserve is at the very heart of the economic and financial problems of this country. When the Fed intervenes and purposely distorts the operation of free markets, the Fed creates economic and financial bubbles which inevitably burst later on. We saw this happen during the great financial crisis of 2008, and now it is happening again. This is what happens when you allow an unelected, unaccountable group of central planners to have far more power over our economy than anyone else in our society does. Most people dont realize this, but the greatest period of economic growth in all of U.S. history was when there was no central bank. We dont need a Federal Reserve. In fact, the performance of the Federal Reserve has been absolutely disastrous. Since the Fed was created just over 100 years ago, the U.S. dollar has lost more than 96 percent of its value, and the size of the U.S. national debt has gotten more than 5000 times larger. The Fed is at the very center of a debt-based financial system that has trapped us, our children and our grandchildren in an endless spiral of debt slavery. And now we are on the verge of the greatest financial crisis that the United States has ever seen. The economic and financial storm that is about to unfold is ultimately going to be even worse than the Great Depression of the 1930s. Things did not have to turn out this way. Congress could have shut down the Federal Reserve long ago. But our leaders never seriously considered doing such a thing, and the mainstream media kept telling all of us how much we desperately needed central planners to run our financial system. Well, now those central planners have brought us to the brink of utter ruin, and yet only a small minority of Americans are calling for change. Soon, we will all get to pay a great price for this foolishness. A great financial storm is fast approaching, and it is going to be exceedingly painful.

1	Aiming to provide customers with an effective and easy way to consume their products free from judgment, Taco Bell officials announced Thursday that patrons at any of the fast food chains 5,600 locations will now be given the option to have their purchases appear inconspicuously on credit card and bank statements under the name TBfoodsLLC. At Taco Bell, we understand that you might want to keep your meal purchases hidden from your spouse, friends, or anyone who might catch sight of your financial documents, and our objective is to protect our customers privacy by ensuring that the name Taco Bell appears nowhere on any bank website or official paperwork, said company spokesman Adam Webb, touting the new measure as a convenient alternative for its customers who have long had to pay for their Taco Bell items in cash to avoid the embarrassing possibility of being found out by a financial paper trail. Taco Bell patrons should feel free to indulge without worry or shame, as our receipts will now exclusively feature the name TBfoodsLLC as well, and all menu items, such as our Chipotle DareDevil Loaded Griller and Nachos BellGrande, will be rung up using far more discreet terms, in this case turkey sandwich and chips. Webb added that the company will also be packaging all to-go orders in plain, logo-free brown paper bags that have been specially lined to limit the release of any aromas. 
2	Alexandra Tantaros Makes Shocking Announcement, No One Expect This According to recent reports, Andrea Tantaros, one of the hosts of The Five on Fox News, has just revealed her new boyfriendand wed be lying if we said we werent shocked. The respected 36-year-old reporter is rumored to be dating Janes Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro. The rocker has been married three times, including to ex-wife Carmen Electra. Even though they seem like opposites, they have a lot in common, one source claims. They both have a wicked sense of humor and share a love of politics and dark eyeliner. The two reportedly started dating after meeting through a mutual friend several months ago, and have been spotted out and about in New York City. What do you think? Are you surprised by this? 
1	During a speech Monday before members of the Topeka VFW Hall, a concerned Pat Buchanan said that 'hundreds of thousands' of U.S. citizens were made in Communist China. 'These shoddy, Asian-looking, 'knock-off' Americans are the mass-produced product of non-union, low-wage parents,' the Reform Party presidential hopeful told VFW members. 'Every day, these knock-offs are exported from China to our shores, where they are free to intermingle with real, made-in-the-U.S.A. Americans.' Buchanan added that if he wins the presidency, he would impose stiff tariffs against U.S.-citizen-producing nations and return all bootleg Americans to their nation of origin. 
1	MILWAUKEEA WITI News camera crew spent 30 minutes inconspicuously following an overweight woman at the Henry W. Maier Festival Park Monday to capture footage for an upcoming segment on obesity. 'It's hard to get anyone to agree to be filmed to illustrate what a fat person looks like,' cameraman Doug Kovalik said, nonchalantly pointing his camera at an obese woman who was tugging at a pair of shorts bunched into her crotch while she ate a corn dog. 'We avoid the whole mess by shooting them from behind or the neck down. It saves us the hassle of filling out release forms.' Kovalik last used this discreet filming technique in May, when he captured B-roll at a local craft mall for a segment on managed care for the elderly. 
2	At First I Thought He Was CRAZY For Cutting Holes In This Cooler. But Then, He Attached With the advent of summer approaching shortly, some of us will look for any way to beat the heat. The temperatures in many parts of the country can reach sweltering levels, and its sometimes not even worth going outside! But spending too much time inside will inevitably lead to you running the air conditioner all day, which can lead to quite an expensive electricity bill. However, if you were looking for a cheaper and more innovative way to cool down this summer, I would definitely recommend putting together this DIY homemade air conditioner! All it takes it is an old cooler, a PVC elbow tube, and a small fan! First, draw a circle around the elbow on the top of the cooler, and then another around the fan. Once youve cut the hole out, stick the fan and elbow inside. After you have it all hooked up, fill the tub up with ice and youll have an air conditioner pumping out air at a cool 53 degrees Fahrenheit. It will surely keep you cool this summer! Share this to keep your friends and family feeling cool this summer! 
1	In the days following a violent rampage in southern California in which a lone attacker killed seven individuals, including himself, and seriously injured over a dozen others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Tuesday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place. This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these things just happen and theres nothing anyone can do to stop them, said North Carolina resident Samuel Wipper, echoing sentiments expressed by tens of millions of individuals who reside in a nation where over half of the worlds deadliest mass shootings have occurred in the past 50 years and whose citizens are 20 times more likely to die of gun violence than those of other developed nations. Its a shame, but what can we do? There really wasnt anything that was going to keep this guy from snapping and killing a lot of people if thats what he really wanted. At press time, residents of the only economically advanced nation in the world where roughly two mass shootings have occurred every month for the past five years were referring to themselves and their situation as helpless. 
1	During her two-week visit to the U.S., Peruvian visitor Alejandra Maera demonstrated a 'frightening' depth of knowledge about U.S. history, her American friend Briana Heckel reported Monday. 'We were sitting around talking about how Bush has no idea how to rebuild Iraq, and Alejandra starts mentioning how at least Woodrow Wilson outlined his postwar plan with his '14 Points' speech,' Heckel said. 'Then she starts listing all the points, and I'm like, who's Woodrow Wilson?' Maera further unnerved Heckel by speaking flawless English. 
3	One Bank to Rule Them All: The Bank for International SettlementsBy Devon Douglas-Bowers According to the BIS itself, the main purpose of the Bank is to to promote the cooperation of central banks and to provide additional facilities for international financial operations and act as trustee or agent in regard to international financial settlements entrusted to it under agreements of the parties concern.[1] This means that the BIS is to have the central banks work with one another to facilitate international operations and to oversee any international financial settlements. The Bank has a Board of Directors, which may have up to 21 members, including six ex officio directors, comprising the central bank Governors of Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States. Each ex officio member may appoint another member of the same nationality. Nine Governors of other member central banks may be elected to the Board.[2] BIS also has a management wing in the form of a General and Deputy General Manager, both of whom are responsible to the board and supported by Executive, Finance, and Compliance and Operational Risk Committees.[3] However, its purpose has changed and evolved over the decades; it has always been a club for central bankers, yet in many ways it can aid some countries more than others. The origins of the BIS lie in the United States, specifically New York City. The individuals involved were international bankers who, despite past differences, worked together to establish a world financial order that would incorporate the federal principle of the American central banking system.[4] Specifically among them were people such as Owen D. Young, J. Pierpont Morgan, Thomas W. Lamont, S. Parker Gilbert, Gates W. McGarrah, and Jackson Reynolds, who, in conjunction with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, sought to extend the principle of central bank cooperation to the international sphere.[5] Before delving any further into the creation of the Bank, it is necessary to examine some of the more notable of these individuals to better understand why they would be involved in the creation of an international bank. Owen D. Young was already in good with the US government as he, with the cooperation of the American government and the support of GE, organized and became chairman of the board of the Radio Corporation of America and in subsequent years he engineered a series of agreements with foreign companies that divided the world into radio zones and facilitated worldwide wireless communication[6] Young had a strong belief that global radio service and broadcasting were important for the advancement of civilization. In 1922, Young became chairman of General Electric, and along with GE President Gerard Swope, urged closer business-government cooperation and corporate self-regulation under government supervision.[7] During the 1920s, Young became involved in international diplomacy as the foreign affairs spokesman for the Democratic Party. At the behest of then-Secretary of State, Charles Evan Hughes, Young and Charles Dawes, a banker, were recommended to the Allied Reparations Commission in order to deal with the breakdown in Germanys reparations payments following the First World War. The Commission resulted in the Dawes Plan which allowed for Germanys annual reparation payments would be reduced, increasing over time as its economy improved; the full amount to be paid, however, was left undetermined. Economic policy making in Berlin would be reorganized under foreign supervision and a new currency, the Reichsmark, adopted.[8] Young viewed improving the world financial structure as important to the very survival of capitalism and furthermore he sought rather the economic integration of the world which would prepare the way for political integration and lasting peace.[9] John Pierpont Morgan, Jr. was already ensconced in the world of international banking, having inherited the JP Morgan Company from his father. During World War One, the House of Morgan worked hand-in-hand with the British and French governments, engaging in a number of tasks such as floating loans for the two countries, handling foreign exchange operations, and advising officials of each respective country.[10] Both these individuals were heavily involved in politics and banking therefore had a personal interest in the creation of a global bank. It should be noted, this fits into the US governments own policies as they wanted to [keep] aloof from the political entanglements in Europe while safeguarding vital American interests by means of unofficial observers or participants.[11] The Federal Reserve also was interested in the creation of the BIS as it would [promote] both the ascendancy of New York City in world banking and the reconstruction of a stable and prosperous Europe able to absorb American exports.[12] This idea of an international bank didnt occur in a vacuum. The creation of the bank was inextricably tied to the problem of German reparations in the context of Germanys overall debt burden during the 1920s.[13] A slowdown in international lending to Germany began in 1928 as markets became extremely worried about the internal politics of the Weimar Republic. Due to the breakup of a center coalition government and the Social Democrats needing support from right-wing parties, the political situation began to fall apart with government stability [being] threatened whenever budget debates exposed the basic social divide of unemployment insurance and increased industrial taxation on the one hand versus spending austerity and tax cuts on the other.[14] The budget problems came on the heels of the Reparations Committee having determined that Germanys total reparations came to $33 billion, which was twice the size of the countrys total economy in 1925. As long as foreign capital kept coming into Germany, things were fine, however as was aforementioned, that situation changed in 1928. Between February 1929 and January 1930, negotiations were made to reschedule Germanys reparations payments. These negotiations were initiated by central bankers and private actors, who were the first to link problems in the capital market with the need to reorganize Germanys financial obligations.[15] Thus, it should be no surprise that many of the main individuals involved in the creation of the BIS were central bankers or engaged in international affairs/finance to some extent. The idea for an international bank had already been explored to some extent by people such as John Mayard Keynes[16], however the idea truly took off during the Young Conference in 1929 when the Allies were attempting to deal with Germanys reparations debts for World War One. Belgian delegate Emile Franqui bought up the possibility of having a settlement organization to administer the reparations agreement and the very next day, Hjalmar Schacht, president of the Reichsbank and chief German representative at the conference, presented a proposal to establish such an organization to as a direct financier of global economic development and trade. The bank would act as a lender to the German central bank in case the Germany currency weakened and the government found itself unable to make the reparations payment. In addition, it would give steps for how to proceed in the case of German default as if Germany did not resume payments within two years, the BIS would propose revisions collectively for the creditor governments (which would only go into effect with their approval) and the bank was responsible for surveillance and informing the creditor countries about economic and financial conditions in Germany.[17] While the US State Department was concerned with having a settlement as State Department economic adviser Arthur N. Young observed, a final reparations settlement would promote both political and economic stability in Europe, and thus tend to be of advantage to the United States, the US government as a whole didnt want any type of linkage between reparations and war debts due to the fact that because each of the Allied nations was demanding reparations from Germany large enough to cover the debts it owed to the US, having such a linkage would mean that Germanys refusal or inability to pay that amount would put Washington in the position of having to agree to a debt reduction or bear the opprobrium and suffer the consequences of opening the door to financial chaos.[18] However, several other countries had their own interests as well in the creation of the BIS. The British wanted to use the BIS as a means to ensure that the Germans would pay on their debts as scheduled. The Bank of England itself supported the creation of the BIS because of its potential role in stabilizing the position of the pound in the international monetary system. Britains relatively small gold reserves made it difficult to defend the pound without international monetary cooperation and the willingness of smaller powers to hold foreign exchange as reserves instead of gold.[20] At the meeting in Baden, Germany in October 1929 to draw up the final plans for the BIS saw the heavy presence of US finance in the form of Melvin Traylor of the First National Bank of Chicago and Federick Reynolds of the First National Bank of New York. There, the two nominated Gates W. McGarrah, chairman of the board of the New York Reserve Bank for the officer of President. Later, his assistant, Leon Fraser, a legal counselor at Gilberts reparations office, the Young conference, and Baden,[21] would become president of the Bank in 1935. When the Bank of England expressed anger and that the European public wouldnt find American domination of the Bank acceptable, they were effectively told that if they wanted American participation in the BIS it would have to be on American terms. However, they did agree to appoint Pierre Quesnay of the Bank of France as the general manager of the BIS. The Bank was officially founded on May 17, 1930. The role of the BIS quickly changed as with the onset of the Great Depression, it was unable to play the role of lender of last resort, notwithstanding noteworthy attempts at organizing support credits for both the Austrian and German central banks in 1931 and due to the Depression, the issue of reparations was off the table due to Germanys inability to pay. The problem was further compounded when countries such as Britain and the US began to devalue their currencies (i.e. print more money) and the BIS attempted numerous times to end the exchange rate instability by restoring the gold standard, the BIS had little choice but to limit itself to undertaking banking transactions for the account of central banks and providing a forum for central bank governors to help them maintain contact.[22] During the Second World War, all operations were suspended for the duration of the conflict, yet the situation became rather dicey for the Bank once the guns stopped firing. Immediately after World War Two, the global economic landscape had massively changed and thus a new system was needed, In July 1944 over 700 delegates from the Allied nation met in Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, NH for the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference which agreed on the creation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and an International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (BRD), which became part of the World Bank,[23] where the IMF would pay attention to exchange rates and lend reserve currencies to nations in debt. A new global currency exchange system was created in where all currencies were linked to the US dollar and in exchange the US agreed to fix the price of gold at $35/ounce. All of this meant that there would be no need for currency warfare or manipulation. This proved a threat to the BIS as if the IMF was to be the center of this new global financial order, what need would there be for the BIS? Wilhelm Keilhau, a member of the Norwegian delegation, even went so far as to propose a notion to eliminate the BIS. However, the Bank was to continue as several other European nations noted its importance to the financial matters of the European continent and soon the move to eliminate the Bank was rescinded. Matters were stable until the 1960s and 70s as while the Bretton Woods system of free currency convertibility at fixed exchange rates coincided with a massive increase of international trade and economic growth, cracks began to show as the British currency was weak and, more importantly, the gold parity on the US dollar was straining due to an insufficient supply of gold and from the weakening of the US balance of payments.[24] However, the Bretton Woods system collapsed on August 1971; however the system of managed floating was created in its place which allowed for flexibility of exchange rates within certain parameters. Later in the 1970s, the situation became all the more dire due to the creation of OPEC and the subsequent rise in oil prices and the Herstatt Bank failure. The Herstatt Bank was central in processing foreign exchange orders (people exchange currencies, such as trading in dollars for yen) and when German regulators withdrew the banks license forcing the bank to close up shop on June 26, 1974. Meanwhile, it was still morning in New York, where Herstatts counterparties were expecting to receive dollars in exchange for Deutsche marks they had delivered[25] and when Hersttats clearing bank Chase Manhattan refused to fulfill the orders by freezing the Herstatt account, it caused a chain of defaults. It was this problem that led to the creation, in conjunction with the G-10 countries and Switzerland, of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in which the goal was to set the global standard for bank regulation and to provide a forum for bank supervisory matters. Yet, this newly created stability was short-lived as in the 1980s and 90s saw serious economic problems involving Latin America and Asia. Oil prices quadrupled in November 1973, leading to stagflation, an increase in balance of payment imbalances, and major shocks in international banking. The Euro-currency markets were growing as they began to be utilized by OPEC countries more and more as the oil-producing nations invested in European money markets, greatly increasing the money European banks had and thus could lend. Thus, the European Coal and Steel Community began loaning money to developing nations at a faster and faster peace and while this was largely beneficial to the world economy at the start, it also implied that the international banking system was faced with an increase in country risk,[26] as many of the countries that were being loaned to were getting more and more into debt. This concerned then-BIS Economic Advisor Alexandre Lamfalussy who warned of a threat of a crisis and was specifically focused on credit, saying in a 1976 speech that from [looking at] the continuous growth of credits, the spread of risks to a large number of countries, and the change in the nature of credits I draw the conclusion that the problem of risks has become a very urgent one.[27] While real interest rates (the difference between yearly interest rates on savings and inflation rates) were negative in the 1970s, meaning that borrowers lost a percentage of every dollar they loaned, allowed for an increase in credit, it quickly came to a halt in 1979 as the US Federal Reserve tightened US monetary policy which led to an increase in debts which many Latin American countries were unable to pay off. The BIS was worried about debt that matured in less than a year as by early 1982, such debt would amount to half of Mexicos and Argentinas debt respectively. On August 12, 1982, Mexico alerted the US that its financial reserves were exhausted. This prompted the BIS to work to get financial assistance to Mexico in the form of loans, as the Mexican government negotiated with the IMF. Specifically, the BIS offered a US$ 925 million loan, backed by the G10 central banks and the Bank of Spain and both the US Federal Reserve and Treasury matched this with an equal amount, so that a total of US$ 1.85 billion was made available for an initial period of three months.[28] While there were some last-minute problems, Mexico eventually accepted the loan and made a promise to pay it back, [consisting] of a gold pledge by the Bank of Mexico and advance claims on future revenues of the Mexican state oil company Pemex.[29] The first loan was paid out on August 30, 1982. However, the loans were tied to the Mexican government enacting austerity measures.[30] This had serious effects as the cutback in public spending set back many development programs, including poverty alleviation programs[31] and the overall economic effects harmed especially the lower and middle classes. For Mexican workers, real wages in 1986 were at virtually the same level they had been at in 1967; for many, a generation of economic progress had been wiped out by the lost decade of the 1980s.[32] In the late 1990s in Asia, a new crisis would emerge. There were extremely robust GDP rates in the Asian markets, ranging from more than 5 percent in Thailand to 8 percent in Indonesia. This achievement continued a pattern existing since the early 1980s. Rapid growth was fueled by high rates.[33] However, the growth began to slow down in 1996, which [reflected] slower growth of demand in the regions principal export markets, a slowdown in the global electronics industry, and competition from Mainland China.[34] This slowdown led to an increase in deficit rates, especially with Thailand, whose deficits grew eight percent of GDP. In an attempt to prevent fluctuations in the Thai currency, the baht, the government tied the value of the baht to a basket of foreign currencies, heavily leaning on the US dollar. However, because the dollar was gaining strength, the strength of the baht also grew, making the export of goods more difficult. Thailand, as well as Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia devalued their currencies 25 to 33 percent in the middle of 1997 and when Taiwan began to devalue its currency, it led to a speculative currency attack on Hong Kong the in which people sold off their Hong Kong dollars, expecting them to fall in value. This caused the Hong Kong stock market to crash in October 1997 while at the same time the South Korean won was weakening in value. From there the crisis grew to global proportions and spread to a number of countries such as Russia and Jakarta. Thailand as well as South Korea and Indonesia went so far as to request assistance from the IMF, which the IMF granted of course, but only in exchange for brutal austerity measures. Much of this led to violence and even deaths in Indonesia and protests in South Korea.[35] What is most interesting about the crisis is how the leaders of some of the affected countries spoke about it. Dr. Mahathir Bin Mohamad, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, said in a speech on September 26, 2008 that in 1997-98 American hedge funds destroyed the economies of poor countries by manipulating their national currencies. It should be noted that this isnt a simply blame America attitude as Dr. Mohamad is recognized as an authority on the role of hedge funds in financial crises, given his experience managing the Asian currency crisis as it engulfed his nation.[36] The Reserve Bank of Australia produced two reports in 1999 on the potentially destructive role of highly leveraged institutions such as hedge funds. The reports claimed that hedge funds contributed to the instability of its exchange rate in 1998, and it describe how hedge funds can have a destabilizing impact on not only the currencies of emerging economies but also on currencies such as the Australian dollar which has the eighth largest global trading volume.[37] In a paper written in early 1999 after the crisis ended, William R. White, then-Economic Adviser and Head of the Monetary and Economic Department at the Bank for International Settlements, wrote that Many Asian-Pacific authorities (including representatives from Australia, Hong Kong and Malaysia) feel strongly that hedge funds set out systematically to destabilize their currencies and their financial markets. However, other evidence is less compelling in support of this hypothesis and, even if accepted, would not necessarily lead to the conclusion that such funds should be regulated.[38] So he is not only denying the evidence that not only have Dr. Mohamad produced, but also the Reserve Bank of Australia produced, but effectively saying that even if he did accept the information, so what? However, years later, in a turn of the ironic, White had warned of the global crisis as he and his team had been paying attention to the growing US real estate bubble and they criticized the increasingly impenetrable securitization business, vehemently pointed out the perils of risky loans and provided evidence of the lack of credibility of the rating agencies.[39] He started warning people back in 2003, [imploring] central bankers to rethink their strategies, noting that instability in the financial markets had triggered inflation, the villain in the global economy.[40] White retired from the BIS on June 30, 2008 with his advice having been ignored. This was due to the fact that the Federal Reserve was attempting to artificially prop up those markets [of bad debt and worthless assets] and keep those assets trading at prices far in excess of their actual market value[41] which led to them providing $16 trillion to domestic and foreign banks in the form of secret loans and bought mortgage-backed securities that were in reality, completely and totally worthless[42] as well as the fact that many of the people on the board of directors at the Federal Reserve also had connections to corporations that received bailout money. Even still, after the financial crisis seemed to be over, the BIS was sounding the alarm about debt, in June 2010 the organization delivered a stern message to central banks and governments that keeping interest rates low for too long, or failing to act quickly to cut budget deficits, could sow the seeds for the next crisis.[43] Earlier that year, the organization was warning of a sovereign debt crisis and noted that Drastic austerity measures will be needed to head off a compound interest spiral, if it is not already too late for some.[44] It seems that from the austerity measures that have been enacted in Europe and the US, the call has been heeded. The question is this: how much devastation will this have and will it result in a lost generation such as in 1980s Mexico?

2	BREAKING: Ambassador Drops Bombshell On Obamas Criminal Plan For AFTER Election After two Islamic State attacks in the United States over the past six months, one would think that the Obama administration might finally be acknowledging the threat at hand and working toward a solution. Instead, it appears that the Obama administrations U.N. ambassador is actually looking to speed things up. In fact, the administration is looking to take in 30,000 refugees over the next two years, long after President Obama has left office. 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, Samantha Power commented. We need businesses, big and small, to do more too; which is why tomorrow, the White House is launching a private sector call to action, which will rally companies to do their part, from providing jobs to donating services to refugees, Power continued. Even as the crisis continues to growmany countries are making no effort at all to do their fair share. While we often overstate the security threats and economic costs of resettling more refugees, we routinely understate the likely consequences of failing to muster the global that is needed. As far as anyone who thinks that refugees could pose a security threat? Power believes they are all bigots. Ignorance and prejudice make for bad advisers, Power concluded. What do you think of these comments?

2	Oprah Winfrey Makes Shocking Announcement On Possibility Of Her Running In 2016 According to recent reports, there is speculation that superstar TV host Oprah Winfrey may have intentions to run for president. Even though Oprah has previously made statements that she will not run for the position, but believed Hillary Clinton will be the first woman to take office, rumors stand that she intends to campaign to become to first female, non-white, United States president. Still, the rumors are questionable. It is reported that Oprah has addressed the rumors on Jonathan Ross. She will once again put her support behind Clinton. Some wonder whether the talk show host would have rivaled the former US Secretary of State for the positionalthough Clinton still has not confirmed whether she will run in 2016. What do you think? Would you vote for either of these women?

3	New Anti Police State App Helps You See Something, Say Something in Real-Timeselfnews Post As we have seen, the violent crackdown on independent journalism in Ferguson is a sign of a worsening situation in much of America. More than ever, each citizen needs to become a member of the media and record everything that they see during encounters with the police. A new smartphone app called Sidekik aims to make it as easy as possible for you not only to record the police and upload that recording offsite, but to put you in immediate contact with legal representation to help you navigate the encounter in real-time. Please view additional details and their Indiegogo campaign video below if you would like to support this new anti police state tool. What is Sidekik? Sidekik is a mobile application which will perform two key actions simultaneously. One, Sidekik will activate your smartphones audio and video recording devices and begin streaming the data to a secure facility. Two, Sidekik will initiate a video call and connect you with an attorney who will represent you in whatever situation you find yourself. Why is Sidekik Important? When you are in a critical situation, such as being pulled over by law enforcement, the balance of power is often against you. The fact is that most people dont know their rights or how to enforce them. In addition, without a record of your encounter with law enforcement, the question of what happened during the encounter devolves into your word against that of the officer, which normally results with courts and public opinion in favor of the officer, regardless of what actually occurred. Though many people have begun recording their interactions with law enforcement, the recording is stored on the recording device, which is sometimes confiscated. Sidekik solves both of these problems. With the activation of the Sidekik app, your smartphones audio and video recorders will begin streaming to a secure server. If the officer has behaved outside of their bounds and doesnt want evidence of that misconduct available to you, there is simply nothing the officer can do. The audio and video has been stored and timestamped securely, and can be retrieved by you at your convenience. Within seconds of activating the Sidekik app, you will be connected through a video call to an attorney licensed to practice law in your jurisdiction. Every attorney on the Sidekik network will be well versed regarding your rights during a police encounter and do everything in their power to defend your rights as they interact with the officer on your behalf. Sidekik is important because it restores balance to a previously unequal interaction. Your rights are worth preserving; all it takes is the tap of a screen. What we need and what you get Our crowdfunding campaign has a goal of $250,000. Almost all of this funding will go toward the creation of the Sidekik app, attorney software, and website, which will communicate with each other to provide a seamless Sidekik product for you. There are already apps for streaming video and even apps for notifying your attorney that you need assistance. However, nothing has come close to combining audio/video streaming with video call technology as well as high-end security measures to keep your data protected. This combination of features is complex and expensive to produce. We have partnered with one of the top software design firms in the United States, Zco Corporation, to create this leap forward in app sophistication. Once we begin development with Zco Corporation the clock will start ticking and three months later Sidekik will be fully functional. The remainder of the funds will be used to set up an office in Reno, Nevada, pay for essential legal services, and cover expenses while we work with Zco during Sidekik development. With your help we will make Sidekik a reality and provide a powerful tool for people to protect their rights. Perks You will receive a number of uses of Sidekik for your contribution, with the number of uses varying depending on the size of the contribution. The months included in each perk will match the number of Sidekik uses. For example, if you contribute $10 you will receive a three month subscription with three uses of Sidekik, while a $100 contribution is good for a two year subscription with twenty-four uses of Sidekik along with a one year subscription (twelve uses) for a friend. When the Sidekik app is activated, the audio and video devices on the users smartphone will begin recording and streaming to a secure third party data storage facility. Simultaneously the Sidekik app will initiate a video phone call, and within a few seconds the user will be seeing and speaking live to an attorney who will represent the user and interact with the police officer on the users behalf.

The movement recently uploaded a disturbing video to their Facebook page. This is absolutely horrific, and the worst part is that President Barack Obama will not even acknowledge it as a threat. The footage shows the ISIS flag waving, people screaming, and police doing little to nothing to stop the madness. Death to America! some protesters shout. Obama youll pay, Sharia will have its way, the chanting continues. Watch the disturbing post below and tell us what you think. Do we need a leader who is not afraid to take action? 
2	Obamas DOJ Is Threatening To Arrest Anyone Challenging The Voter Fraud Epidemic In Our Country Its amazing that liberals still have the nerve to call voter fraud a conspiracy, despite cold, hard facts that tell a very different story. If you need convincing that voter fraud is a problem in this country, look no further than the video that was just released by Project Veritas. Mike Pence has encouraged the American public to monitor voting stations, but it appears the Department of Justice is stepping in to stop them from doing so. The DOJ just sent out a warning that monitoring the polls could be considered intimidation, in violation of federal law. That means you could be arrested for holding the system accountable. Federal law protects against such crimes as intimidating or bribing voters, buying and selling votes, impersonating voters, altering vote tallies, stuffing ballot boxes, and marking ballots for voters against their wishes or without their input, started a statement released by the US attorney. It also contains special protections for the rights of voters and provides that they can vote free from acts that intimidate or harass them. For example, actions of persons designed to interrupt or intimidate voters at polling places by questioning or challenging them, or by photographing or videotaping them, under the pretext that these are actions to uncover illegal voting may violate federal voting rights law. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous? 
3	Narrow Escape from Terror: Child Suspended After a Quarter-Sized Gun Keychain Falls from His BackpackKimberly Paxton That was precisely what happened at Alan Shawn Feinstein Middle School in Coventry, R.I. last week in a terrifying episode that thankfully left no one injured and left one 7th grader named Joseph Lyssikatos suspended and banned from the school trip. Of course, the gun was on a keychain and was the size of a quarter. The two-inch keychain fell out of Lyssikatoss backpack while he was at school. After another kid picked it up and displayed it to other students, a teacher intervened and impounded the keychain. Apparently fearing that the roughly quarter-sized hunk of cheap metal was somehow a danger to life and limb, school officials sprang into action. They suspended Lyssikatos for three days. He has also been banned from an upcoming class field trip. The boys parents arent pleased. This boy was the one waving it or showing it to other kids. Not Joseph, Bonnie Bonanno, Josephs stepmother, told WJAR. Joseph wasnt doing that so why werent both of them reprimanded? Lyssikatos noted that he got the tiny keychain at a local arcade with go-karts and such in exchange for 25 tickets. The Feinstein Middle School handbook entitled Serious Disciplinary Infractions declares: Possession/carrying/use of/threat of use of a firearm or replica shall result in a recommendation for expulsion for a period of time up to one full calendar year. The boys father, Keith Bonanno, claimed on WPRO radio that the behavioral specialist told him his son was lucky that he didnt get suspended for 10 days, or even worse expelled. (source) The nation is gripped with a media-fueled anti-gun hysteria. Perfectly safe and legal activities are under scrutiny, like the kids who were playing with an airsoft gun at home and somehow managed to get suspended from school. Like the kid who bit his Pop-tart into a mountainbut got suspended because it looked like a gun. Like the child who was suspended for bringing a terrifying pink Hello Kitty bubble gun to school. Like the kid whose birthday cupcakes were confiscated because they had army guys with guns on them. Heck, kids arent even supposed to talk about guns and the schools are convincing them that they should be petrified by these things by offering them counseling. When can we institute a zero tolerance policy on stupidity? Kimberly Paxton is a staff writer for the Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared. She is based out of upstate New York. 
2	FOX Anchor Likely To Be Fired Over What They Said About Robin Williams There is no question that the death of comedian Robin Williams was a tragic one. However, in the reports of his suicide, very few media outlets have been willing to dive into the actors history of drug and alcohol abuse. In fact, only a few sources have reported that the actor had left rehab just one month prior to taking his own life. Leaving this detail out makes for a half-truth story, and is designed to generate a specific response from viewers. Which is probably why America had such a strong reaction when Fox News anchor Shepard Smith called Robin Williams suicide selfish and cowardly. His comments received instant backlash, and now there appears to be an actual petition in place to have the anchor fired for his insensitivity. The petition asks signers to set an example and fire Shep Smith for his insensitive comments to Robin Williams death. Require that staff take sensitivity training on mental illness and suicide. So far, it has received more than 250,000 signatures. What do you think? Does Shep deserved to be fire for his comments or is he entitled to his opinion? 
2	THIS New Concealed Gun Statistic Will Bury Obamas Gun Policy This is great news for America. We still have a long ways to go, but to know we have a majority of logical citizens is definitely a start. From Newsmax: When asked if America would be more or less safe if more citizens were allowed to carry concealed weapons after passing a criminal background check and taking a training course, they responded: Safer: 56 percent The margin of error is plus-or-minus 4 percent, and the poll was conducted from October 7-11. Participants with post-graduate degrees (and of course, Democrats) said concealed carry made Americans less safe. How does a person earn a post-grad degree and not understand the simple things in life? Weve seen throughout history that the right to bear arms stifles government takeover and keeps criminals at bay, but liberals would prefer all guns be coercively confiscated. The 41 percent of people who voted Less Safe need to take a hard look at themselves, because when a madman pulls out a pistol, no gun-free zone in the world is going to keep them safe. Youngcons This is great news for America. Every citizen should be armed and ready. Do you think all Americans should have the right to carry? 
2	Irate Muslim Offended By America Flag... Watch Happens Immediately After When Hunter Green shared his story on social media, he had no idea how quickly it would go viral. Now, its resonating more than ever. Over the past few months, weve seen the clear imbalance when it comes to religious freedom in this country. The liberal media loves to paint the Muslim community as victims, and label Christians as close-minded bigots. The problem here is that Americans are being censored and forced to comply with religious laws they dont believe in just to be politically correct. Well, Green is one of the few Americans who arent afraid to defend his country and our values. His story is below. One of my sons serves in the military. He is still stateside, here in California. He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming people were to him and his troops everywhere he goes, telling me how people shake their hands and thank them for being willing to serve and fight for not only our own freedoms, but so that others may have them also. But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped at yesterday on his way home from the base. He said that ahead of several people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha. He said when she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the U.S. flag lapel pin the cashier wore on her smock. The cashier reached up and touched the pin, and said proudly, Yes, I always wear it and probably always will. The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi. A gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward. Putting his arm around my sons shoulders and nodding towards my son, he said in a calm and gentle voice to the Iraqi woman: Lady, hundreds of thousands of men and women like this young man have fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen. It is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldnt need to be there today. But, hey, if you have now learned how to speak out so loudly and clearly, Ill gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back to Iraq so you can straighten out the mess in YOUR country that you are obviously here in MY country to avoid.

1	Following last week's deadly crash of United Airlines flight 9753, which claimed the lives of 137 passengers and five crew members, the National Transportation Safety Board announced Wednesday that the victims were actually far likelier to have perished in an automobile accident. 'Although these individuals died tragically, it's important to remember that their flight was 80 times less likely to kill them than if they had driven to their destination,' said NTSB chairperson Deborah Hersman, adding that their horrific deaths were 'almost a statistical impossibility' when compared to highway travel. 'In actuality, these people were 11 times more likely to die crossing the street than in the terrifying onboard fire and subsequent 10,000-foot free fall that took their lives.' Hersman concluded by reaching out to the victims' families, stating that she sincerely wished they would have been able to see 24 of their loved ones eventually die of violent heart attacks, 20 waste away from cancer, and one or two commit suicide, as would be expected of a random 142-person sample.

SIURT discovers that not only is firefighting dangerous, largely thankless work it doesnt pay that well and is nowhere as cool as being a reporter. Can the disaster-ravaged Gulf Coast region handle another crisis... or is it just one disaster away from total collapse? We find out by exploding a chemical tanker headed toward Miami. Are lawyers overpaid? To find out, a SIURT reporter forged law degrees and defended dozens of people accused of crimes. The reporter lost nearly every case, sending dozens of innocent people to jail, proving that lawyers are indeed a valuable part of our justice system.

Andrew Tahmooressi, the Marine that accidentally crossed the border in Mexico and spent eight months in prison. During that time, Tahmooressi faced legal violations in his court case, poor treatment in Mexican jails, and suffered from severe PTSD from his time in Iraq. Meanwhile, the Obama administration ignored plea after plea to free the trapped Marine. President Obama never made a single phone call to Mexican President Nieto, and the Press Secretary Josh Earnest told the public that the State Department would handle the matter. Now, following his release, some are mistakenly crediting diplomatic pressure from the administration. Fox News host Greta van Susteren refuses to let that happen, acknowledging that the pressure for the Marines release actually came heavily from the right. Susteren featured updates on the Tahmooressi case almost every night of her show, On the Record. Still, Susteren has remained silent when it comes to the scramble for credit. What do you think? Who are the real heroes in this case? 
3	Bombshell! Europe Drops Charges Against Edward Snowden, Offers Asylum And ProtectionBy John Vibes Thursdays 285 281 vote officially recognized Snowden as an international human rights defender and ensured that he would be free from arrest within European borders. Edward Snowden (@Snowden) October 29, 2015 The final resolution mentioned that too little has been done to safeguard citizens fundamental rights following revelations of electronic mass surveillance. Snowden is currently living in asylum in Russia and is wanted in the United States for charges under the federal Espionage Act, but Russia has declined to extradite him. He has been unable to leave due to the fear of being kidnapped by the US military when he left the country, but now it may be possible for him to travel to Europe. Snowden posted on his Twitter page that this could be a good sign of a shift in attitude towards his cause. Earlier this year, it was reported that a federal appealscourt ruled that the controversial NSA spy program which collects phone records is actually illegal. This is not a blow against the US Government, but an open hand extended by friends. It is a chance to move forward. pic.twitter.com/fBs5H32wyD Edward Snowden (@Snowden) October 29, 2015 Snowden recently joined Twitter, making himself more visible and approachable to the general population than ever before. Within a day of opening his first social media account since leaking information about the NSA spy program, Snowden gained over one million followers. However, there was only one account that he decided to follow, the NSA. The whistleblowers first tweet read, Can you hear me now? John Vibes is an author, researcher and investigative journalist who takes a special interest in the counter-culture and the drug war. In addition to his writing and activist work, he organizes a number of large events including the Free Your Mind Conference, which features top caliber speakers and whistle-blowers from all over the world. You can contact him and stay connected to his work at his Facebook page. You can find his 65 chapter Book entitled Alchemy of the Timeless Renaissance at bookpatch.com. Just watch your 6 and 7 and 5 Good for Europe Great news. But dont take them up on it. CIA is all over Europe. Right NSA? How will he travel without a passport? Easily. I have no US passport and have no desire for one and I can travel where I want. Perhaps he should become a Russian citizen and will then be able to travel where Americans are forbidden by their own tyrannical government. While it may be true Ed, DONT take the bait !!! Keep your friends close and your enemies closer watch out Ed Edward you said that GCHQ is subsidary of NSA. What they really want is to remove the risk of you talking with the only person genuinely capable of operating an equitable one world government. That is Mr Putin. My respects to both of you. YES GREAT news Snowden has something these Countries want and these countries will do anything to obtain that information . As a whistle-blower myself over the past twenty-seven years, I must agree with the other posters here: Its a trap. Perhaps not intentionally on the part of the EU Parliament, but certain to be exploited by the opportunists in the U.S. intelligence community, who dream (figuratively speaking), of mounting Snowdens head as trophy on the wall at Langley or Fort Meade. They really do kill people who shine a light on government agency corruption and violations of national security. Even those measures that are clearly unconstitutional. Ask Gordon Novel, Jeffrey Johnson. Aaron Russo, James Allen, Mark Tomion, Dr. Fred Bell or Dr. Eugene Mallove. Oh, thats right. You cant. Theyre all dead. There are many others. The list is a long one. A number of these people were my friends. And more lately Dr Antony C Sutton. Bring the fox out of its lair so that the Illuminati can extinguish him. Seriously? The EU may be more untrustworthy than the US. There is nobody more untrustworthy than the US. They break every treaty and agreement they make, including the recent pledge about no boots on the ground. Now of course they will have boots on the ground. They better pray that the Russians know where they are or they could be exterminated. Come into my parlour Mr. snowden said tthe spider with a smile. :):) Seal team six. They got Bin Laden, they can get you. There is some safety where they cant easily operate. Close vote. He is not out of danger. I would not trust the EU. They are all criminals. It is a shame that the U.S. government cant tolerate truth. Good fortune, Ed. Dont trust them Mr Snowden, they are treacherous and puppets for the globalist agenda to enslave the entire planet. 
2	Putin Praises Trump and BLASTS Clinton The United States of America need a President the rest of the world will fear and respect. For too long weve suffered under the incompetent leadership of Barack Hussein Obama, who (when he hasnt been on golf vacations) has been on a never-ending World Apology Tour licking the boots of laughing foreign leaders, begging for forgiveness for all of Americas supposed crimes. Do you think Vladimir Putin, the leader of Russia, ever behaves this way? Hell no! Putin knows how to act like a real leader, and that doesnt involve constantly bowing and scraping like a fool. Will you be surprised, then, to learn that Putin has a great deal more admiration for Donald Trump than for his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton? Putin was quoted as saying that Trump is absolutely the leader in the presidential race and a bright person. What does he have to say about Hillary? Well, he dropped this awesome-bomb: As they say in Russia, a husband and a wife are the same Satan. Ouch! There you have it. Trump does not respect Hillary Clinton. How can America ever be made great again if we have ANOTHER President that the leader of Russia laughs at? We need Trump now! 
3	China Releases Warning Shot Vid of Missile Launch, Amps Up Tensions With USBy James Holbrooks Assuming the initial satellite performs well, as many as 20 additional craft would follow in the effort to create a new category of communications network. Chinese researchers believe their work could ignite a space race as other nations move to refine the technology. Definitely, I think there will be a race, Chaoyang Lu, a physicist at the University of Science and Technology of China,told science journal Nature. In addition to bringing the world one step closer to a planet-wide Internet based on quantum mechanics, the proposed network would bring a level of security to communication never before known. Explains Nature: Quantum communications are secure because any tinkering with them is detectable. Two parties can communicate secretly by sharing an encryption key encoded in the polarization of a string of photons, say safe in the knowledge that any eavesdropping would leave a mark. The militaristic applications of such technology should be clear to all, as classified information and data on top secret projects could be hidden from other nations eyes. But there are implications here that should give the everyday citizen pause, as highlighted by UKs The Sun: Having an internet based in space would also be very useful for surveillance operations, as it would allow spies to snoop on Planet Earth using high resolution cameras whilst hiding resulting data from the public or enemy nations. Whatever the potential effects, Chinas taking the lead in this type of innovation and the fact that theyre making it known is very much in line with the countrys recent exhibiting of its considerable capabilities. Days before announcing its plan to launch its satellites, China unveiled the AG600, the largest amphibious aircraft ever assembled. Measuring 121 feet in length and with a wingspan of 128 feet, the craft is nearly the size of a Boeing 737. While the purported purpose of the AG600 is to combat forest fires and conduct maritime rescue missions, Defense News was quick to point out that the craft is well within round-trip range of Chinese military forces occupying Woody Island in the South China Sea from Chinas southern coastline of Hainan Island. The South China Sea, as Underground Reporter has previously outlined, is currently a region of great dispute for the United States and the Republic of China. This conflict which has both sides preparing for all-out naval warfare is one reason why eyebrows shouldve raised at Chinas recent release of footage of mid-air ballistic missiles destroying targets miles above Earth. BritainsThe Mirror noted the coincidental timing: The footage is the first time their test which took place six years ago has been seen by the public and it could be a warning shot to the US. Days before the release, evidence of the growing tension between the two countries manifested at the G20 summit. A Bloomberg report on July 24 noted that, by the end of the talks, China and the United States showed signs of being at odds on how to proceed with economic policy. Weeks ago, an editorial in Chinas state-run newspaper Global Times suggested the United States wants to send a signal by flexing its muscles via interference in the regional conflict in the South China Sea, and that as the biggest powerhouse in those waters, it awaits Chinas obedience. The same editorial claims China will make the United States pay a cost it cannot stand and that the country wont flinch in the face of U.S. intrusion into its territory. So if nothing else can be taken from Chinas recent string of unveilings in the realms of both militaristic might and technological innovation its that the country has sizable muscles of its own. And if the tough talk is to be believed, theyre not at all afraid to put them to use.

3	Kaspersky Lab Uncovers Cyber-Espionage Plot By Russian and Chinese HackersSusanne Posel, Contributor Encrypted files and decryption keys used by the European Union and NATO have been compromised. The countries under attack are: The Russian Federation Kaspersky said: The information we have collected so far does not appear to point toward any specific location; however, two important factors stand out: The exploits appear to have been created by Chinese hackers, (and) the Rocra malware modules have been created by Russian-speaking operatives. Rocra appears to have been controlled by 60 command-and-control servers that were held in Germany and Russia. It is suspected that there is another mother ship server based in an unknown location. For instance, the initial documents are customized to make them more appealing and every single module is specifically compiled for the victim with a unique victim ID inside (and) later, there is a high degree of interaction between the attackers and the victim. Compared to Flame and Gauss, which are highly automated cyber-espionage campaigns, Rocra is a lot more personal and finely tuned for the victims. The software is broken down to continually run within the system until triggered to activate. Examples are stealing information from a connection made by a mobile phone or syphoning mail servers and downloading emails. Although Kaspersky Lab admits that these attacks have not definitively been connected to China or Russia, it is assumed that the data collected would yield a high price on the black market. Kaspersky stated: The information stolen by the attackers is obviously of the highest level and includes geopolitical data which can be used by nation states. Such information could be traded in the underground and sold to the highest bidder, which can be, of course, anywhere. Rocra is able to map out the internal layout of a network and information routes taken by computer software to take files with the use of thumb drives and smartphones. In 2012, the US House Intelligence Committee (USHIC) warned American corporations in a new report against conducting business with two Chinese firms because of national security threats. Both Huawei Technologies and ZTE, two of the worlds largest telecommunications corporations and suppliers of cellular phones and technology are being highlighted by the US government and blamed for cyber-attacks. It is also claimed by the USHIC that they are involved in digital espionage. According to the report, China has the means, opportunity, and motive to use telecommunications companies for malicious purposes. . . . The investigation concludes that the risks associated with Huaweis and ZTEs provision of equipment to U.S. critical infrastructure could undermine core U.S. national-security interests. It is claimed that former industry insiders provided intelligence to the US concerning Huaweis violations of US laws such as immigration, bribery and corruption as well as an alleged pattern and practice using pirated software in its US satellites. The report stated that the Chinese corporations were employing intelligence sources as well as private sector companies and other unnamed entities that could and presumably did steal trade secrets, sensitive information and prehistory data, while simultaneously shipping infected hardware and software to the US with the intent to cause disruptions in national security during war time. Around the same time as the release of the report, an anonymous White House official said there was an attempt to hack into the executive branchs computer system through an unclassified network. No data was removed, proving that this was not an actual hack. The nameless official said that the experiment was spear-phishing. The supposition is that China is behind these attacks because of a phishing expedition against Gmail accounts wherein several senior US government officials and military personnel were affected. According to other mainstream media outlets: hackers linked to Chinas government broke into one of the U.S. governments most sensitive computer networks, breaching a system used by the White House Military Office for nuclear commands, according to defense and intelligence officials familiar with the incident. The official questioned explained that a connection to Bejing in the case of the cyber attack highlights a failure of the Obama administration to press China on its persistent cyber attacks. In January, analysts at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) have confirmed that hackers traced to China attacked their system. The drive-by hacking utilized a pirated computer. To compound the problem, the analysts said that the hackers removed their malware and traces of their presence from CFR computer systems. This attack marked a new level by international hackers who aim to steal information from government websites and computers. The drive-by tactic covertly plants malware, then the website itself is used to attack visitors to the site. Visitors can be infected as hackers will them attempt to hack into other computers as visitors are passing by. The hackers use the main site as a watering hole that attracts users to it for the hackers to steal information from their computers. Susanne Posel is the Chief Editor of Occupy Corporatism.

Recently, Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey recently tweeted that his wife Camila had become an American citizen. He and Camila have three children together. Congratulations Camila on getting your U.S. citizenship todayanother fellow and great American, he tweeted. When the Brazilian model first arrived in the United States at age 19, she worked as a maid and could barely speak English. It is with great pride and honor that I am happy to say I now hold an American passport! Camila said. I have so much respect and appreciation for this country #newuscitizen. What do you think? Do you welcome Camila to her new official home and commend her for going about her citizenship the right way? 
3	Chattanooga Gunman Yet Another Mass Shooter on AntidepressantsBy Melissa Dykes According to reports, last Thursdaytwenty-four-year-old Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez opened fire at a Chattanooga army recruiting center, injuring a police officer. Then he opened fire at a navy recruiting center about five miles away, killing four servicemen and wounding another three, one of whom later passed away. All told, five people lost their lives before the Abdulazeez was shot and killed by police. By now, it shouldnt surprise anyone much that the media is reporting Abdulazeez was depressed and taking medications for it, medications which he frequently started and stopped. Antidepressants, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), come with FDA-mandated black box warnings on the labels to inform users, about increased risks of suicidal thinking and behavior, known as suicidality, in young adults ages 18 to 24 during initial treatment. According to the FDA: Not that ages are an exact predictor here, butAbdulazeez was 24. A black boxwarning is the most serious one the FDA can place on a prescription medication bar none. What they dont tell you is that these drugs dont just cause suicidal feelings, buthomicidal ones as well. Now consider America takes more psychotropic medications like antidepressants than any other country on the planet by far. More than 30 million Americans are on these medications right now. Its an astonishing situation if you really think about it. Even people who arent purposefully taking antidepressants may be taking them. In the last decade,theAssociated Press conducted a five-month investigation and found the drinking water of at least 46 million Americans in 24 major metropolitan areas was indeed tainted with pharmaceuticals. Wastewater treatment does not remove these drugs, and people are drinking them, cooking with them, and bathing in them. The report advises, The federal government does not regulate prescription drugs in the water. So just consider how many pharmaceuticals people who knowingly take prescription medications and swallow them down with regular city tap water are actually ingesting in this country. Worse, however, is the known fact that nearly every highly publicized mass shooting in recent American history involves a shooter on (or very recently going off) one or more of these medications at the time of the shooting. In fact, nearly every mass shooting in the last two decades involves psychiatric medications. Prior to the late 1980s when Prozac first came on the market, mass shootings were not anywhere near as common as they are today. The Washington Post just reported, Frequently started and stopped taking medicines with FDA black box warnings that disrupt levels of chemicals in the brain to cause suicidal (and obviously homicidal) thoughts? Considering the history of American mass shootersin recent years, that would do it. In fact,any time a mass shooting hits the news these days, the first thing people ask isnt why he or she did it but whether or not the killer was on antidepressant medications.

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! Bullshit, it was just a distracting, gun grabbing hoax, courtesy of Rita Katz Well, it seems you are one of the few who recognize dykes B.S story. As far as I am concerned, when one of these happen, it was done by the minions in the District of Columbia until they prove to me different. I mean real facts, not manufactured BS that should start with ,Long long ago, in a land far away, and end with, they all lived happily ever after. Ms. Dykes, thank you for the information about prescription drugs in our tap water. I had indeed heard this before, but sometimes we need confirmation and/or reminders on may things. My own thoughts on the matter, (not at all discounting or negating your info), Isnt it coincidental how Mr. Abdulazeez just happens to be the perfect fall guy? This person who, by his friends admission, didnt like the philosophy or tactics of Isis, all of sudden becomes a lone wolf for them? All of this so called information coming in drips and drabs are just too perfect. Has anyone else noticed that? He conveniently winds up dead when there was no car chase. when initially the conflicting reports, (I was flipping between MSNBC and CNN) said he got away in an unknown vehicle no one knew (what they said right after the incident) which direction he went. Cnn reported that students were on lock down. Then, they mentioned briefly on MSN that the shooter wasnt by the school and there are many false reports. all of a sudden, (this was on MSN while CNN was saying something COMPLETEL different) the police are saying he has been shot (msnbc). There wasnt any chase (because no one knew what kind of car he was driving because, by one report, everyone dropped and just heard shots and did not see the person). They said multiple people may have been involved. Then CNN reports Abdulazeez wasnt on the radar. They also used something he wrote in school that basically said he was judged simply by his last name whereas no one elses last name posed that problem. Totally taken out of context, Wolf Blitzer says that may show he had motive. HOWEVER, I dont know if anyone else caught this article (I forget which site but it was one of the major ones, because thats where I have been getting my info)that said the family had been under FBI surveillance for 7 months. Middle eastern person who (by his friends and familys admission)had a lifelong passion for practice shooting. But then, the media (and the powers that be) tries to give us an ahh, haa! He was liked by all, yet all of a sudden (friends and family did not initially say this) He was troubled after his 7 month trip(hmmm, the same amount of surveillance time. That may be coincidence) Wouldnt this be the first thing YOU would have lead with, if you were middle Eastern and Islamic? It would seem that you would want to take the focus off of the family being affiliated with any terror cell) Initially, they didnt know why he would do something like this. However, NOW the report is he was always starting and stopping his anti depressant meds. Middle eastern, been over seas, had many guns in his vehicle enough to kill many people, and yet, He only kills (and i dont mean only as if their life was not meant anything. ALL life is precious) 5 MILITARY? Excellent analysis, and very well written. Thanks for putting all that into perspective. I have long hoped that the Oath Keepers would have a sufficiently pervasive influence on the police and military that our government would have a difficult time turning too large a proportion of our serving sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, and mothers and fathers against US citizenstheir own families. This is apparently part of the governments solution to that problem. Incidentally, seven months may well be sufficient to turn an otherwise normal person into a Manchurian Candidate. And coming up: Jade Helm. Which fits in neatly as well.. Incidentally, seven months may well be sufficient to turn an otherwise normal person into a Manchurian Candidate. Maybe, Im a different kind of candidate? Hey buddy, maybe Im the last guy you want to meet. Perhaps Im the last guy you will ever meet. You dont sound quite right, Jeremiah. Your last sentence. And lol, kids use that. AJA, PLEASE read my revised statement. i havent changed my thoughts on the matter, but I think i just worded it WAY better. My initial post didnt reflect my thoughts as clear as I believed it had: I thought you handled it fine the first time, but Im looking for your revised version. In my original post I now realize I left out the fire department. I am extremely sorry about this oversight. Those guys are crazy enough to run into burning buildings and rescue babies and wise old ladies. Very special people. They face a horrible death every day, for a living. Cops and politicians dont do that. I must be crazy myself not to have put them up front. ACLU (formerly the legal arm of the Communist Party USA) instituted a series of lawsuits in the 1970s claiming new human right of the insane to refuse interment in asylums for the criminally insane. Since then ALL MASS MURDERS have been committed by the clinically insane. Bravo ACLU! Internment. And the. And youre probably right about the other stuff, Marc. It cant all be blamed on the ACLU, however. Powerful forces were behind this. Chattanooga Jihad Shooters Blog: We need.to establish Islam in the THIS MURERER WAS A JIHADIS..

American Psychiatric Asso: Half of Americans are mentally ill.. 300 million prescriptions for psychiatric drugs were written in 2009 alone.. Be careful what you ask for. well i believe half of americans are mentally ill didnt obozo get half the votes? This is very hard to read. Did you pass reading and typing class? Reality time! for all you Politically correct types, I dont give a damn if you are offended. The evidence is in and like it or not, The Murders in Chattanooga were committed by an ISLAMO-FASCIST TERRORIST. ANOTHER group of VICTIMs of ISLAM. Looking at the druggies or mentally ill will not work this time. The islamo-PUKE who committed the act of terrorism was a follower of one of the ISLAMO PUKE organizations. This time, Al Quaeda. I for one dont see the difference between the ISLAMO-PUKES called Al Quaed, ISIS/ISIL, Islamic Brother Hood, SHIITESPLOor what ever vile RAT name they call themselves. They are nothing but blood thirsty, hate filled, satanic pieces of human excrement. The act in Chattanooga was an ACT of ISLAMIC TERRORISM. America was warned. The idiot in the White House was warned and IGNORED the warnings. Now, the idiot in the White House would suggest that our military be forced to walk around w/o their uniforms/without weapons, etc. Bottom line the idiot in the White House has not business as commander in chief. His presidency has been a dismal failure, unless you are some Anti-American Stalinist, then you can say, well done. I am not, there fore Obama is a LOSER I would not to hate ISIS when ISIS was created by the U.S. and that is what the U.S. wants me to do. I have to consider mental illness and medications when nearly all mass shootings are done by those receiving psychiatric treatment because a lot of these mass shootings do not have anything to do with ISIS or some other terrorist organization. Dumb ass, the murders that took place in Chattanooga, were committed by an ISLAMO-Fascist. You may not like reality, but reality it remains. Now your god, Obama has to finally say the words ISLAMIC TERRORISM. I know you hate that, but the fact remains. Now if anyone created ISIS/ISIL or what ever this brand of ISLAMO-PUKE is from America, B.H.Obama and Hillary Clinton are to blame. Stick that in your crack pipe and smoke it. Are you trying to prove his point? Good post. I think its important to keep aware of the fact that anyone on psychotropic medication also has something else in their life: a psychiatrist. And psychiatrists can certainly be involved in government experimentation such as, inserting suggestions in suggestible subjects or even creating alter personalities. Presto, terrorist shooter! The timing, in this case sure seems convenient for the gummint. Finally, a shooter with one of them funny names who actually killed some folks. And, bonus, not on a government watch list or being handled by an FBI informant. You are frighteningly brilliant. How did you get that way, and how did I miss this for two months? You neglected to mention that psychiatrists have explained away torture as enhanced interrogation. I considered that a nice touch on their part. How many of the last ten mass shooters have been on these drugs? Worse, however, is the known fact that nearly every highly publicized mass shooting in recent American history involves a shooter on (or very recently going off) one or more of these medications at the time of the shooting. In fact, nearly every mass shooting in the last two decades involves psychiatric medications. Prior to the late 1980s when Prozac first came on the market, mass shootings were not anywhere near as common as they are today.

I agree both parties need cleaned out. i think the title should be ANOTHER F#$^ING MUSLIME KILLS 5 AMERICANS Its hard to disagree with facts, however going in to a military bases is not the same as going inside the church this man clearly had an extra motivation to do what he did. It is called Revolution. Liberalism is like a cancer, it has infected the body politics and is killing the great experiment America was deemed to be. 
1	Just two months after the close of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, the nations love affair with gold-medal-winning gymnast McKayla Maroney came to an abrupt end Tuesday after Americans discovered she is only 16 years old. Whoa, 31-year-old Greg Adamko said upon learning that Maroney was born in 1995, adding that he totally thought she was at least 19. I mean, its not like I everJesus Christ, 16? Are you sure? Shit. At press time, sources confirmed that citizens across the country were quickly deleting their Internet histories. 
2	Marine Completely DESTROYS Michelle Obama To Her Face President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle have gained notoriety for their lack of care when it comes to our men and women in uniform. As it turns out, the U.S. Marines are sick of Michelles behavior, and one brave Marine decided to speak up. Read the letter he wrote the First Lady below and tell us what you think. Mrs. Obama It sickens me that I have to take time to write you this letter. I am a Marine who doesnt recognize color because every color has lived and died for you. You live in a free country to blame your poor pathetic life on the color of another mans skin. All colors have given their lives for an educated woman to have the freedom to be so ignorant. I dont blame black people for the ignorance that comes from your mouth. I love all colors because I love all that God creates. I dont have to like you to love you and today is no different. I dont like you or your husband because of your character hidden behind your skin. Isnt it funny how the truth always reveals itself in time. You and your husband never showed this side of yourselves in 2008 before he was elected. You both live better than 99% of the people in this world because of this country. You said that you are for the first time proud to be an American. Well, I will tell you that most of us are ashamed of you. You and your husband have become millionaires off the people of this country, but demonstrate very little appreciation for all that we give.White, black, brown or indifferent millions have fought and died for you to have the freedom to say the ignorant things you say. You are educated, but clearly have very little common sense. You blame past generations of Americans for the troubles of a few. Stop blaming white people for your misery and take a look at yourself in the mirror. We are all responsible for our own happiness and misery. The KKK is ignorance wrapped in a sheet while the Black panthers are raised on ignorance and hate. No different from the cult of Islam thinking their race is better than all other men. God is love and creates every color to include our skin. To truly love God is to love all that He loves. For that I love each of you and pray that we all start taking responsibility for our own damned sins. Martin Luther King had a dream that we would all live in the promise land. He is not remembered for being black. He is remembered for the love, and character he had within his heart. If you dont like this country get on that plane and never come back. I will stay here and love all Americans, regardless of skin. I will love the beauty of what God created and stand tall with my American friends. Not because of their color but for the character and love they carry within. This country doesnt owe you anymore than it owes me. So many have thanked me for my service and I will always be grateful. I pray that one day you and your husband might cause me to be grateful for yours. You will never be remembered as the First Lady of Color but soon forgotten after you leave the White House. You nor your husband shall ever divide us. I wish you no harm, but pray you will get the hell off of this American land If you wish to find me I am now a writer for the DC Gazette.

1	A plastic statue of St. Christopher, the Catholic Church's patron saint of motorists, was found embedded in the forehead of local resident Duane Richardson Monday following a fatal collision with an oncoming van. 'Although Mr. Richardson was wearing his seat belt and his airbag deployed properly, the dashboard crumpled in such a fashion that the plastic simulacrum of the third-century martyr was driven into his skull, piercing his brain,' Sterling County coroner Leonard Reiver said. Reiver noted that St. Christopher is also the patron saint of sudden death.

Though sources say Jamie has been in love before, and that she knows what love is for, in this case it was a mere one-night stand, and love should be more than that. Arnesen added that despite the fact that when Roth and Jamie parted, the long-haired, vinyl-clad rocker said, 'Gimme a call some time,' Jamie knows what that will get her. 
3	How to Beat Coming Killer Food Shortages50% of Americas fruits and veggies are grown in California and the Feds are destroying their crops.What this means for you. PREFACE: Only a small space is required to grow most fruits and veggies for a family. So Stan and I will scamper over to our local garden center this week and for additional organic compost to augment our Super Soil and get those growies growing! By the end of Summer our own compost piles should be ready to sustain the gardens hereafter. It just takes a little while to get there. Sunday, we planned out this years garden including more than usual. Definitely making time for canning this year. Had the equipment, not the time. Since warmth and dry (drat!) are coming early this year to the West, Southwest and Southeast, its important to get our garden ready in February and seedlings sprouted and sunk in the ground by late March instead of late April a full month ahead of normal. The most time-consuming aspect will getting the Super Soil pre-warmed as described in Garden Gold, which will only require a couple hours, so plants get a head start and beat this Summers killing heat. These NOAA maps show the probability of temperatures exceeding the norm, so roughly 1/3 of the Country can get their veggies and fruits in early. Unfortunately, as 2014 progresses, a bunch of us will be sweating bullets living in tank tops and shorts. Click on the different NOAA 3-month outlooks (under More POE Outlooks) on the left to see how temps are revving up hotter and earlier this year. Its weird that after this blisteringly bitter cold winter, we have to think in terms of excessive heat, but thats what extreme climate change is about and something Stan and I have warned would descend since 1995. Now that its here, everyone must act with fore-thought and planning. With whats coming, every day counts. Holly TAN DROUGHT KILLING THE GOLDEN STATE Government has lost its mind. It is no more evident than their decision last week to cut off water to Americas food basket. Squeezed by the worst-ever drought in the states history, California is dying of thirst. Crushing news was delivered to farmers that no water would be coming from the Federal government. This dreaded decision was compounded by the Sierra Mountains getting just 25% of normal snowpack. There is no water to replenish already dangerously low reservoirs. Photo: A pipe emerges from dried and cracked earth that used to be the bottom of the Almaden Reservoir on January 28, 2014 in San Jose, California. Now in its third straight year of drought conditions, California is experiencing its driest year on record, dating back 119 years, and reservoirs throughout the state have low water levels. Santa Clara County reservoirs are at 3% of capacity or lower. (Justin Sullivan, Getty Images) Gov. Jerry Brown declared a drought emergency 5 weeks ago and conditions have worsened since. Farmers who thought this might be coming delayed planting crops. Some have given up altogether. Even late harvests, where possible, would be better than wasting the cost of fuel to run equipment, paying farm workers to work dying fields, paying for seeds that likely wont survive summer and have it all come to nothing. Over half a million acres wont even be planted. Not that anyone wants a business penalized, but golf courses will be allowed to waste water in the most extravagant method possible. What would you rather have: food on the table or 225,000 acres of lush golf links? The amount of water required to keep them verdant is staggering. Residential customers are already being warned to conserve and some cities have passed mandatory water restrictions. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that 17 communities are at risk of running dry. Image: Its clear from the image below that regions of California worst hit and in danger of running out of water are the prime food growing areas. DROUGHT = SLOW DEATH We saw this same scenario play out in Beulah, Colorado in 2002 the year after Stan warned the Pine Drive Water District they needed vastly more water storage. They didnt listen. The very next year when residents turned on their faucets, literally not a drop dripped. So dire was the situation, it made national news. It was a shock to have literally no water available. Huge white plastic water storage tanks were hastily set up in front yards and water was trucked in weekly from Pueblo. Wells went completely dry and livestock were reluctantly sold off. It was either that or watch them die. The next Spring when Stan and I drove around Beulah, the wildlife took your breath. Most telling were larger animals. Baby deer that survived were unbelievably scrawny. Their mothers ribs stuck out of their backs and sides from patchy coats like awkward jagged tree branches. Their faces were unhealthily gaunt, lit by haunted eyes. It was heartbreaking. That was one small mountain community. Now were talking about an entire state facing extreme conditions. Heaven help them in the 2014 fire season, which for Californians, began January. PROMISES, PROMISES Last week Pres. Obama promised $100 million in livestock-disaster aid, but that doesnt make water fall from the sky. This is less than a pittance when livestock and poultry alone gross nearly $10 billion in California.(1) Instead farmers, like Beulah residents, will be forced to sell their animals. This is a calamity. Were not talking about a few hundred head. On average, when drought conditions hammer down, like those in Texas a couple years ago, it takes at least 3 years to rebuild herds. This means further rising beef prices that we Americans are already experiencing. Just wait, it will get worse. I warned in 2010 what the Texas drought would do to beef prices in the next few coming years, and this story, Ground Beef Prices Have Skyrocketed, Heres Why. The article warns to expect steak to double. Three weeks ago news agencies reported that beef herds are the smallest since 1951 and this didnt factor in what will surely be a massive cattle sell-off in the Golden State. Other crops feel it too. Retail prices for tomatoes rose 10% in the 12 months through Jan. 31, and U.S. retail prices for beef, bacon, lettuce and broccoli have also risen at least 10% last year.(2) This hike came before farmers found out they wont be getting water for crops and 8 million California farmland acres depend on federal and state irrigation. MEGA-DROUGHT, MEGA-DISASTER In a stunning report from Time Magazine, Bryan Walsh writes that scientists fear Californias dryness could get much, much worse bringing back the horrible era of mega-droughts. These mega-droughts arent predictions. Theyre history, albeit from a time well before California was the land of Hollywood and Silicon Valley. And the thought that California and the rest of the modern West might have developed during what could turn out to be an unusually wet period is sobering. In 1930, a year before construction began on the Hoover Dam, just 5.6 million people lived in California. Today more than 38.2 million live in the largest state in the U.S., all of whom need water. Californias 80,500 farms and ranches produced crops and livestock worth $44.7 billion in 2012, but dry farming districts like the Central and Imperial Valleys would wither without irrigation.(3) Image: According to the Drought Monitor, 91% of California is in Severe to Exceptional Drought. For comparison, the rest of CONUS looks much better except Nevada and they dont grow much of anything. SQUEEZE PLAY As one Millennium-Ark reader pointed out in an email last week, after the jump in beef prices, people will look to chicken, pork, fish and turkey. Chicken is already up though not as much as beef. This will, in turn, drive up their costs and affect availability of these other meats. Keep in mind that California also produces all of these proteins plus lamb. Then consider this: Ag Specialists Warn of Higher Wheat Prices Due to Drought. Its not just beef, weather is clobbering food from all angles. Rising Threat to Crops from Climate bears this out. Not to be totally depressing, but remember to factor in possible health issues from the Corexit-ridden fish and seafood in the Gulf courtesy of BPs Deepwater Horizon debacle. Then theres Fukushima Daiichis radiation affecting fish all up and down the West Coast. Food production is not a national only issue. We export food around the world. In the grain arena, so does Argentina, Australia, Canada, the EU with India, Pakistan, Thailand, the U.S. and Viet Nam contributing to world rice production. Every single country is being hit with flood, heatwaves or drought. Friends, serious climate issues are clobbering beef, grain, fruit and veggies nearly all food with unpleasant trickle-down repercussions coming. At this point, it doesnt matter if its caused by geo-engineering, climate change (aka global warming), natural cycles or Sun-driven events. We must deal with the fallout and its coming fast. If you think the beef and grain scenario is bad, check whats happening in the fruit and veggie department. CALIFORNIAS GOLDEN BREAD BASKET California grows half, HALF of Americas produce. Another 13% is exported4 around the world. Californias yearly produce is valued at more than $45 billion.(5) In the list below, out of some 400 different foods they grow for our Nation, California leads production for 79 of them. Out of these 79, California grows ALL of 14 crops (in bold). Keep in mind, this list is only 79 out of some 400 foods including sugar beets, mushrooms, oats, potatoes, cucumbers and many more. Now scroll down to one very important item in the 4th column Greenhouse Vegetables. These are the nicely potted vegetable, fruit and herb seedlings people purchase every year at building materials centers and nurseries around the Country. These are now at risk. People who have never grown their garden plants from seed think its hard and jet down to retailers to buy what they want to grow. Theres nothing wrong with this; weve done it too. However, it is so much more economical and fun and easy to start your own plants from seed. For those that are interested in starting your seedlings this year, here are some practical reasons. Assuming you see the need to get busy, this is the set-up we use. Photo: From top left, clockwise: seed tray bottom, lights set into the plastic dome cover, seed tray, heating mat. Seeds dont need sunlight to sprout, but do need warmth around the clock. We set the Seedling Heat Mat on a 1 piece of styrofoam. The foam both protects the tabletop and keeps the warmth from escaping out the bottom. The heat mat keeps the soil temperature consistent and 10-20 degrees warmer over room temperature air. Theyre relatively inexpensive and really improve germination and seedling growth. The bottom tray goes on top of the mat with the little seedling plastic pots set inside. Depending on how many seedlings are needed, its more economical to do these plastic pots in a sheet than peat pots. Its cleanable and reusable. If youre only going to start 20 or so plants, then peat pots save washing it out. The Seedling Heat Mat (9 x 19-1/2) and lights are extra. Mats are about $20 and grow lights are about $21 each, but vary widely in price depending on retailer. Then the clear plastic greenhouse dome cover sits on top with its edges resting on the sides of the bottom tray. Stan puts aluminum foil between the dome and the metal so it doesnt turn the plastic an ugly yellow-brown. The yellowing problem we found out the hard way and ruined one dome. No place mentions this tip and others except in Garden Gold. Its important to get a greenhouse that has a high enough dome cover. Some kits covers are only about 2 or 3 tall. We use the Mondi 7 dome (7-1/2 H x 11 W x 21-1/4 L) that sells for $4.60 and fits the 1020 tray. As the seedlings grow, if the lights become too close, they can burn tender leaves and suck the life out of tiny plants. Stan has even put in a set of 2 or 3 risers at each end between the dome and the bottom tray if the seedlings grew too tall. Risers can be made out of anything thats not too heavy, just strong enough to support the dome and not break the bottom trays lip. The 1020 Tray runs $1.40 and the 72-cell propagation tray that fits perfectly inside is $9 for 10. Photo: This is how it looks assembled all ready for 72 seedlings waiting fill your food needs! Some seed starter kits come without the plastic tops, but you need the dome to both hold the lights and keep moisture in. On top are two circles for moisture control. They can be opened or closed as needed. Simply setting planted seeds in a window wont provide enough light once the seedlings sprout. Plus, windows can get transmit cold, which can either delay or stop germination altogether and defeats the purpose of the heat mat. Stan cut holes in the ends toward the top of the greenhouse dome and inserted 4 grow lights that are 2 feet long. We use Sun Blaster F24T5 24W HO lights. If youre looking on-line for the best price, they are normally listed as Sun Blaster T5 HO. Gave a cursory look and the best price so far was at GroswersHouse.com: growershouse.com/sun-blaster-t5-ho-fluorescent-strip-light-2. GETTING SEEDY NOW is the time to purchase open pollinated, organic, non-genetically engineered seeds. When we ordered onion sets last week, I noticed there were already a few products on Seeds of Change that had sold out or were temporarily sold out. People are getting on the stick early this year! Youll get further savings from companies that offer seed in bulk. This is a smart purchase for the foods you love. We did this several years ago and now have our own seed bank. Here are 4 great resources ones we use for open pollinated, heirloom seeds: If they dont have what you want, Garden Gold lists over 350 suppliers with their contact information and websites. Youll spend less time hunting for open-pollinated seeds and supplies, which leaves you more time to get your plants going. NO COLORADO DOPE, JUST THE STRAIGHT SKINNY Im no mystic, but I do see whats coming down. It will be hurtful possibly signaling prophetic bells to remind of us of Revelations 3rd Seal. ALL of our food is being squeezed one way or another. Just after I placed that short note Sunday on our website about getting the garden going, within 15 minutes a dozen people wrote saying they feel that same pressing urgency. For many fruits and veggies, you can greatly lessen the pain at the grocery store simply by starting (or continuing) your home gardens. While community gardens and farmers markets are preferable to depending on the grocery stores and getting robbed at check out, its best to have fruits and veggies right in your own yard. As they say with precious metals, if its not in your hand you dont own it. You can harvest so much in such little space by using the ancient Chinese technique of bio-intensive growing described in Garden Gold. You will have produce running out your ears. There will be enough to can or sell depending on your family size. Whatever method of gardening you choose, get your beds ready soon. Now for the beef and other proteins dilemma; if you have a spare freezer, it would behoove you to stock up now before prices shoot up further. You would easily be money ahead to purchase a freezer and stock that baby till its ready to burst. Alternately, look at some freeze-dried meats. The last time we checked, the food price bump had not yet hit this industry. Why? Because they literally buy tons of meats at a time and process same until they nearly run out. Then they take the hit on food prices and pass it onto customers. However, we the grocery store consumer, feels every bump and tickle along the way. There is a window of opportunity here We caution you to buy from only reputable, long-established retailers. Its questionable for some smaller outfits where they got their foods, especially if they are a new name. One company is selling food that was around at least since 1998 and has been repackaged to look new. This is a smaller, lesser-known company, so stay with the power names for best freshness: Mountain House, Alpine Aire, Thrive (Shelf Reliance).

3	Trump Chosen By Elite To Be Scapegoat For Massive 2017 Crash! Says Financial WriterBy Richie Allen Allen and Smith also politely debate socialism versus free markets. Remarkable discussion. Visit RichieAllen.co.uk Sure he was Trump can solve all the problems of the world just ask him Always be a light that is shininginthedark Why not make headline a question, as the notion is a theory? Misleading to make it a statement. Its possible the elite would use ANYONE as an excuse for they are hungry to take over the world. The funny thing is if they drop it early as planned trump will have it turned around in no time at all. Obama still hasnt improved 2008 crash yet. So Obama has done absolutely NOTHING. But LYING,GREEDY,SCUM MAGGOT BILLIONAIRE, HIRING SNAKES CROCODILES FOR HIS NEW SWAMP. WILL TURN IT AROUND.? hahahhaha. You should use bold along with those caps Yeah the big crash has been talked about every year since the 197Os, blah, blah. The Donald has said I was an insider an ultimate insider this is why folks, as do I, believe that he has been touched by the hand of God. A complete reversal has occurred within his soul. Either you are joking or a poor Trump spokeswoman.. APPARENTLY you havent been doing your research or following Trump closely. this Krusty the Clown in a suit will be like George Bush but on steroids.!! 
1	In a televised speech to the nation Monday, president-elect George W. Bush called for 'an end to the era of political argument.' 'My fellow Americans,' Bush said, 'after a difficult period of partisan debate, the time has come for unanimity. We have seen how destructive it is when political rivals disagree, and we as a nation can no longer afford such ideological division.' Bush said he is committed to making his presidency 'The Age Of Assent.' 
3	Alert: FBI Investigating Threats to Midwest Water Supply Systems: On High AlertMac Slavo (Reuters) The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation learned of the threats in the past two days and has contacted the water supply facilities and law enforcement offices for the municipalities, said Bridget Patton, a spokeswoman for the FBI office in Kansas City, Missouri. Patton declined to discuss the nature of the threats or the number of cities affected. She said investigators had been sent out in response to the reports, but offered no details. We were made aware of the threat, Patton said. We have not been able to substantiate any of the threats. Wichita city officials warned employees in emails to be on guard for suspicious activities. City officials also told residents the water is safe to drink and the public will be notified immediately if this changes. Wichita Police Lieutenant Doug Nolte said Friday that the city had taken steps to keep the citys water supply safe, but would not describe what measures had been taken. [] (KSN News) The FBI as of our law enforcement agencies take any threats to the public personal safety very seriously, said Bridget Patton, Media Representative for the FBI. For the last several days, the FBI has been looking into a regional water threat. KSN News learned the potential hazard affects four major water systems in the mid-west including Wichita. The Wichita water utility plants serve about 500,000 people, but many millions may be affected should systems in multiple Midwest cities fail or come under attack simultaneously. In 2011 cyber security McAfee issued a warning titled In the Dark: Crucial Industries Confront Cyberattacks, in which they noted that all critical infrastructure systems connected to the Internet could be compromised by rogue attacks resulting in shutdowns or malfunctions. The sectors on which this report focuses power, oil, gas, and water may well be the first targets for a serious cyberattack. What we found is that they are not ready. The professionals charged with protecting these systems report that the threat has accelerated but the response has not. Cyberexploits and attacks are already widespread. Whether it is cybercriminals engaged in theft or extortion, or foreign governments preparing sophisticated exploits like Stuxnet, cyberattackers have targeted critical infrastructure. In the case of water utilities, if hackers were to take control of the computers that maintain safe water levels and chemical treatment they could potentially poison the water supplies of millions. In such a case people could go to sleep like any normal night, wake up in the morning and have a glass of water, and be poisoned by any number of chemical or biological agents that have been released into the water supplies. Hackers have already broken into water utility computer systems recently, despite assurances that the systems are safe. In November of 2011 a Stuxnet-style virus infected the physical components of the Springfield, Illinois water utility plant and shut down water pumps, demonstrating that not only can systems be infiltrated from outside of protected networks, but that the physical equipment can be overtaken. But its not just the computer systems. There is a woeful disregard for perimeter security in and around critial infrastructure assets around the United States, including water plants. Security around national water reservoirs may not be as safe as we thought: In a time where people talk all the time about droughts, 21 year old Josh Seater has cost the city of Portland Oregon 8 million gallons of drinking water. After a night on the town, a heavily intoxicated Seater began urinating a water reservoir. I didnt know it was a water supply, otherwise I wouldnt have done it, I thought it was a sewage plant. The cost of Joshs drunken behavior has cost the Portland Water Bureau $36,000, as the 8 million gallons have had to be completely drained away. While TSA gaterapes grannies in diapers at our local airports and steams ahead on expanding enhanced pat-downs and searches to all public venues including train stations, sporting events and malls, the real security holes are completely ignored. With so many billions of dollars being spent on homeland security, Americans have been left with a false sense of security. The government tells us they are protecting us, and most people simply take this at face value. In reality, even if the government was efficiently deploying its resources for effectively securing critical infrastructure, the fact is that nothing can ever be 100% secure. This is evidenced by recent comments from outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, who warned that a widespread cyber attack on our national power grid and other infrastructure is not only guaranteed, but imminent. In previous comments, Napolitano, along with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, has advised Americans to stockpile at least two (2) weeks of essential supplies, including food and fresh drinking water, citing concerns that emergency responders could be overwhelmed in the event of a widespread emergency. Failure to prepare for short- and long-term disaster could be deadly. Most Americans have about three days worth of food supplies and almost no reserve water supplies ormethods for filtering water should the water supply be compromised. As we saw with Hurricane Sandy, any disruptions to the normal flow of supplies or commerce would lead to a breakdown within 72 hours as those affected struggle to acquire limited resources.

3	U.S. Declassifies Disturbing List Of Cold War Nuclear TargetsBy Joshua Krause However, the government has always been vague about whether they would intentionally strike civilians for its own sake, during a nuclear war. We know our government deliberately targeted civilians with nukes during World War Two, but afterward they tried to distance themselves from those tactics, at least publicly. Behind the scenes however, the feds were (and probably still are) just as enthusiastic about total war tactics as they had ever been. We know this with certainty now, after the U.S. declassified the Air Forces list nuclear targets from the Cold War. For the first time, the National Archives and Records Administration has released a detailed list of the United States potential targets for atomic bombers in the event of war with the Soviet Union, showing the number and the variety of targets on its territory, as well as in Eastern Europe and China. It lists many targets for systematic destruction in major cities, including 179 in Moscow (like Agricultural Equipment and Transformers, Heavy), 145 in Leningrad and 91 in East Berlin. The targets are referred to as DGZs or designated ground zeros. While many are industrial facilities, government buildings and the like, one for each city is simply designated Population. The 800-page document titled Atomic Weapons Requirements Study for 1959 is little more than a spreadsheet for nuclear holocaust. It was part of the militarys bomb as you go strategy. At a time when ICBMs had yet to be invented, Air Force bombers would be instructed to fly into Soviet air space, and hit whatever they could depending on the priority of the target. This spreadsheet determined that priority for the bombers, which included 1,100 air fields to prevent the Soviets from striking back, followed by countless industrial targets. Afterward, the deliberate massacre of civilians would begin. What is particularly striking in the SAC study is the role of population targeting. Moscow and its suburbs, like the Leningrad area, included distinct population targets (category 275), not further specified. So did all the other cities recorded in the two sets of target lists. In other words, people as such, not specific industrial activities, were to be destroyed. What the specific locations of these population targets were cannot now be determined. The SAC study includes the Bombing Encyclopedia numbers for those targets, but the BE itself remains classified (although under appeal). The SAC study does not include any explanation for population targeting, but it was likely a legacy of earlier Air Force and Army Air Force thinking about the impact of bombing raids on civilian morale. For example, in a 1940 Air Corps Tactical School lecture, Major Muir Fairchild argued that an attack on a countrys economic structure must be to so reduce the morale of the enemy civilian population through fearof death or injury for themselves or loved ones, [so] that they would prefer our terms of peace to continuing the struggle, and that they would force their government to capitulate. Thinking along those lines continued into the post-war period when social scientists studied the possible impact of nuclear bombing on civilian morale. At the time, the US military was still operating under the same total war doctrine that had guided them from the end of the Civil War, until World War Two. If the destruction of the civilian population ever became necessary to win the war, then so be it. As General Curtis LeMay so aptly put it after he was asked about the firebombing of Japan if the war is shortened by a single day, the attack will have served its purpose. In other words, our military always felt that it was okay to target civilians, so long as it led to the swift end of a war, and thus, fewer casualties for all parties in the long run. At least, that was their twisted moral justification for slaughtering civilians, and its clear that notion was the impetus behind this list of nuclear targets. Let it never be forgotten, that this how our government views warfare. To them, the ends always justify the means, and the moment it becomes necessary to attain victory, civilians are indistinguishable from combatants. The people running our government pretend to act civilized statesman, but they have a lot more common with likes of Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun.

Not only remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.Also remember Bagdag in 2003 during George Bush IIs Crusade. Remember Serbia during the 90s and the alleged collateral damage in the massacre by Bill Clinton of the Belgrade population with the bombing of water and electrical facilities with no military use. Remember Mi Lai in South Vietnam in the 70s and the bombing of schools in North Vietnam in 1967 perpetrated by the John McCains. Remember the indiscriminate bombing of Berlin in 1945 by the end of WW II. But propaganda is more powerful than memories. Now we are facing Russians air strikes in ISIS controlled areas at markets where what mainly is sold is gasoline and other combustibles for the vehicles of ISIS relatives and supporters and to warm up the homes of those that feel acceptable living among the terrorist resisting to seek refuge.. I find it interesting that this was released during NATOs struggle to maintain control over Syria. I think this is NATO saying it will go all the way if it doesnt get everything it wants. So we have advanced technologically but we have all the humanity of a conquering Roman Legion who consistently put populations to the sword or into slavery. Yea religion! If they ever cared they would build deep underground bunkers for every man jack and girl sally and stock it w/ food. ya know like the deep underground hotels that the gold collar scum made for their chickenshit selves, with our hard earned labor that they collect in taxes. Blowback is from future generations of the defeated. It may take 3 generations for the covert forces to assemble into asymetrical warfare infiltrating critical defense n retaliatory MIC systems. But its a sure thing history is the witness. Of course history is slanted to the victor since they write the official history. To refute the official version is just slander and revisionist. It seems curious that the holocaust plaques went from 6 million to 1.4 million in less than 50 years. Gratefully visitors had the common sense to photograph the plaques for historical record. The method of execution was also changed from gassing to simply died. Officially of the victim corpses examined the result was death by typhus not one victim in the stack was gassed WTH? Did the gassing and cremation stop when the allies invaded? This comment could get me prison time in Germany, and god help us , Canada. 
2	Ann Coulter DESTROYS AntiAnn Coulter has endured verbal backlash for nearly a year now for her support of Donald Trump. She was made a mockery of on Bill Mahers show for saying that Trump would be the next president. Well, it would appear she is the one laughing now. Coulter just released a piece of writing, making fun of the hypocrisy and danger of liberals and self-righteous celebrities. Until the nationwide protests of the last few days, I had no idea how bad the problem was, but our nation is drowning in drama queenly, she wrote. The immediate reaction of most celebrities to Trumps victory was: THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR MY TAKE ON THE ELECTION! Aaron Sorkin and David Remnick, in matching pink housecoats and fuzzy slippers, wrote hysterical jeremiads about the cataclysm of Trumps election, wrote Coulter. She talked about how liberal parents claim to be struggling with telling their children about why Trump won the presidency. In fact, that tells us nothing whatsoever about Trump, but does tell us that liberal parents are intentionally raising neurotics by telling their children that they are living in Nazi Germany, she argued. What do you think about Coulters comments? 
2	Kurt Russell Proudly Announces In Interview He Is A Hardcore Libertarian This is the third time this month we have seen Kurt Russell in the news discussing politics. First, he gave his stance on gun control, arguing that it would not be an effective solution to terrorist. Next, he made a guest appearance on The View where he defended his gun control opposition. Now he interviewed with Daily Beasts Marlow Stern, where he announced that he used to be a hardcore libertarian, and still holds many of the same views. I believe in limited Constitutional government, free market capitalism, reach for the brass ring. Russell is one of the few actors who is publicly Republican or Libertarian. We really love hearing the public support. Do you guys agree with the views of Russell? 
1	President George W. Bush delivered an encouraging motivational message to Beijing-bound Olympians Monday, urging them to 'compete swifter, higher, and stronger in their pursuit of gold' so that they may achieve not just the glory of victory but the hard cash value of the much-needed commodity. 'Truly, victory and pride are beyond price, but gold is currently going for $916.78 a troy ounce,' Bush said in the Rose Garden speech, delivered just hours after he was unable to secure an agreement with the Chinese ambassador to forge the Olympic medals out of debt-relief certificates. 'In striving, you uplift the hearts of all Americans, but in victory alone will you actually get something that can help us out of the current economic slump. I mean, silver is barely over 17 bucks. Might as well drop out at that rate.' Bush later held a closed-door Oval Office meeting with swimmer Michael Phelps, whose possible eight gold medals could potentially help the Olympic team break even on travel costs. 
2	Thugs Tried To Rob McDonalds Full Of Special Forces Soldiers... Bad Idea According to recent reports, a group of armed thugs learned a very hard lesson when they stormed into a McDonalds wearing masks and armed with shotguns. What the group of criminals didnt know is that the entire special operations team just so happened to be eating lunch inside the restaurant, dressed in civilian clothing. Without knowing this, the two robbers fired a shotgun blast into the air, threatening the guests and ordering staff to open the cash registers. At first, I did not realize there was a gunshot, 20-year-old Antony, who works in the kitchen, told reporters. The robbers continued on their crime spree, completely oblivious to the fact that 11 members of the special forces were fuming, and ready to take action. During the hold-up, the gendarmes didnt do anything, Edwige Roux-Morizot, a local prosecutor, told reporters. It was out of the question to use their weapons, as this would have created difficulties and could have placed many peoples lives in danger. Instead, the officers took action when the first robber stumbled out the front door, taking him into custody without using any guns. The robber did sustain injuries during the arrest, however. The second robber was shot multiple times in the stomach after turning his gun toward the GIGN operators after being told to drop the weapon. Both suspects were transported to the hospital for treatment and subsequently brought to jail, where they are still awaiting sentencing. Are you thankful these officers were ready to step in? 
3	U.S. Elementary School Homework Teaches Kids Government Is FamilyIf you are a public school student in America, apparently Uncle Sam literally believes hes your uncle. Yesterday The Blaze reported on an homework sheet it received from the concerned parent of an Illinois fourth grader. The school is teaching children that the U.S. government is like a nations family. Titled What is Government?, the worksheet goes on to teach the children: Government is all of the agencies, departments, organizations, groups, individuals in a nation who make, carry out, enforce, and manage conflicts about rules and laws. Government is like a nations family. Families take care of children and make sure they are safe, healthy and educated, and free to enjoy life. The sheet comes complete with a little cartoon drawing that depicts Uncle Sam holding a little baby wearing the same hallmark stars-and-stripes themed top hat. The ten questions that follow go on to use a repetitive back-and-forth technique to thoroughly draw up similarities between a childs family and the U.S. government. Examples include, How does your family keep you safe? followed by How does the government keep its citizens safe?and How does your family keep you healthy? followed by How does the government keep its citizens healthy? Is this homework indoctrination and government propaganda at its finest being served up to brainwash young malleable minds in our nations public schools? How this superintendent can claim this homework is not an attempt to include a political message when the whole entire worksheet appears to be one giant political message is beyond this writers ability to comprehend. This worksheet goes against the very grain of the intent of our founding fathers who envisioned a limited government that would be kept in check from abusing its powers to a government we live under today that invades every aspect of a persons life as if it is trying to actually be a family instead of a government. Notice rules (not referred to as laws by Madl or even initially by the worksheet), safety and security all come before freedom on the superintendents list. Founding fathers like Benjamin Franklin said, They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. Instead, this homework reads like educational propaganda straight out of Stalinist Russia. It was cult-of-personality communist leader Joseph Stalin who said, Print is the sharpest and the strongest weapon of our party after all. Under Stalin, all print everything from school textbooks to print media was under tight government control for the purposes of indoctrination under the communist agenda. Stalin, by the way, went by the nickname Uncle Joe. Now children are being taught in American schools that the government will keep them healthy (think Obamacares forced mandate) and safe (think National Security Administration spying on every American for our safety, the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration goon squad dispensing of our freedom at major transportation hubs just to name a few). Even a minimal amount of research will yield an alarming number of similarities between Soviet Russia under cult-of-personality Stalin and modern America under cult-of-personality Obama. Perhaps one of the only differences that immediately comes to mind is that I am able to write this article without being tossed into a gulag or killed for doing so.

2	Teenager Dies Saving Three Girls By Jumping In Front Of Mass Shooters Fire 15 year old Zaevion William Dobson from Tennessee sacrificed his life in order to save three innocent girls. Two men, Christopher D. Basset and Brandon Perry, opened fire on a random group of people. Zaevion jumped into action and shielded the three girls he was with by using his body. Although he didnt make it, the three girls suffered no injuries. The police called this shooting a cowardly and senseless act of violence. Im shocked. Im really just shocked, Zaevions brother, Zack Dobson, told WBIR-TV. We were just sitting on the porch chilling, and we see these random dudes walking up. He was laying there, and I just pick him up and put him in my arms. He was dead, Zack said. Unfortunately he wasnt lucky, but he saved lives. Just know that I miss him. I miss my kid brother, Zack said. Bassett has been taken into custody, and Perry died in the hospital after being shot (unknown whether shot came from police or other shooter). Police say this was a gang activity. Pray for Zaevion and his family. RIP. Do you think Basset deserves the death penalty for killing a 15 year old kid? 
3	The Mother of All Conspiracies Aimed At Our ChildrenDave Hodges Romanian dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu, seized hundreds of thousands of children from stable families under the pretense that these children had disabilities which could only be treated by the government. In reality, this madman planned to use the seized children, raised in government orphanages, for military and state purposes. Three hundred thousand children were raised in these state run orphanages (Romanian encyclopedia.adoption.com). Had Ceausescu survived, the vast majority of these children would have been useless to him because there were functionally retarded due to severe neglect. After reviewing HHS, CPS and UN documents I have no doubt that Obamacare has the same goals and intentions as Ceausescu. What is being presently reported in the alternative media is merely the tip of the iceberg with regard to HHS intentions toward the ultimate outcome of the children in this country. After reviewing the documents, there is no doubt that Obama is representing international interests which will seek to remove as many children as possible from the homes of their parents in the spirit of Ceausescu. I freely admit that what I am about to reveal here has made me lose sleep and for the first time contemplate the real possibility of a revolution against the bankers who have hijacked our government. I cannot see parents submitting to this tyranny without a fight. But first let me quickly review the recent revelations of the HHS/CPS/Obamacare intention to conduct what I have dubbed as home invasion interventions. According to a previously unreported Obamacare regulation, that has managed to escape scrutiny from the mainstream media, millions of American families will be targeted for home invasion by the forces of the Federal government in the name of preventing parental neglect resulting in disabilities in their children. And the Fourth Amendment be damned, after January 1, 2014, Federal officials may enter your home without a warrant in order to intervene for the purpose of saving high risk children. Obamacares Definition of High Risk The exposure of the extreme and intrusive nature of Obamacare through home invasions is finally seeing the light of day in the alternative media. However, this exposure is grossly understated. As a starting point, I will briefly review what is making the rounds in the alternative media. According to Human Health Services, your family is eligible for this Soviet-style intervention in the following situations: There is no question that all of the above categories will warrant a home invasion followed by remediation. The visits will not be conducted by HHS officials as has been reported in several publications. The home invasion visits will beconducted by CPS on behalf of HHS. HHS has designed a detailed 110-page policy manual which focuses on the criteria constituting child neglect. This policy manual which is the guide created by HHS for CPS home intervention visits makes the above criteria, presently being reported in the alternative media, look tame by comparison. HHS, CPS and the Criminalization of Parenthood In the 110-page HHS/CPS manual, the variables which comprise child neglect worthy of government intervention is frightening beyond any words I can find to express their undisguised intentions. This entire document which will serve as the field manual by CPS in support of Obamacare undermines parental authority to a level that is beyond belief. How many of you were ever grounded by your parents and not permitted to play outside with your friends? This is now illegal under the HHS/CPS policy manual. They label the treatment as neglect by isolation. There are no time frames set forth which constitute isolation, and it is left to the field representative. This obviously erodes parental discipline. If your child is judged to be underachieving in school, this is referred to as educational neglect and is worthy of governmental intervention. Further, if your child is absent for five days in any one month from school, the same allegation would be made against the parent. If your child has ADD or ADHD, you could be accused of neglect because the document details how this can be somehow caused by poor nutrition, although the variables associated with the cause are not specified. The document goes out of its way to specify that poverty and neglect are not inextricably linked. Then the document goes out of its way to link poverty with child neglect. Read between the lines America. As we already are aware, many poor children who go missing from scandals such The Second Mile Foundation, The Franklin Scandal and the latest with the 78 missing wards of the state in Oklahoma, frequently end up being put into child sex trafficking rings operated and funded by such notables as DynCorp and HSBC bank. Of course no Obama-inspired program would be complete without an attack upon the Second Amendment. Obamacare is no exception, as one of the criteria for child neglect are parents who are also gun owners. The presence of alcohol in the home is a trigger for an allegation of neglect and subsequent intervention. Of course, alcoholic parents can present a clear-and-present danger to a childs well-being. However, in the policy manual the conditions for concern over alcohol do not detail the amount and percentage of the family resources involved necessary to obtain alcohol. In other words, one can of beer in the home can be considered to constitute child neglect by the Obamacare CPS fieldworker. If your child has engages in any type of illicit or criminal behavior, your family is at risk. Raise your hands if you ever smoked pot before the age of 18, or drank as a teen, or engaged in any kind of sexual activity before the age of 18, ever stayed out past curfew, or ever shoplifted? IF your children ever engage in these and a multitude of other transgressions, you are in danger of losing your children. This also means that if your child is ever involved in a fight in school or is assigned detention, the school will be required to report the behavior to the HHS/CPS and you can expect to have a home invasion intervention session with your friendly Obamacare CPS fieldworker. If you are ever late picking up your child from daycare or from school aftercare, you will be reported. If you have ever been depressed or have been treated for any mental disorder (e.g. PTSD, anxiety, etc.), you are at risk for losing your children. Even illegal immigrant families are not immune from this insanity. Children are judged by the field worker to not be fully acculturated, do not properly speak the language, exhibits signs of being homesick and judged to have not formed an unspecified number of friends and formed a cohesive social network, allegations of neglect can be made. I could literally write 10 more pages on what CPS/HHS, on behalf of Obamacare, considers to be parental neglect. I would invite the reader to spend some time reviewing the document which will be serving as the policy manual for the forced home inspections. Please note that when the reader gets beyond the flowery language and professed concern for children, that the language is written so broadly that virtually any human condition, any family circumstance or childs behavior can be interpreted as child neglect. The important thing to note is the use of language by this manual. Parents who are deemed by an Obamacare CPS field worker, operating under the HHS flag, to be neglectful towards their children are considered to have created disabilities within their children. As the reader will soon discover, the use of the term disabilities is key to understanding how far this administration is willing to go to seize children for some nefarious purpose. Sadly, this is still only the beginning. There is far more to be concerned about beginning with who is ultimately responsible for these outrages. Meet the Creators of the State Sponsored Child Kidnapping Rings The primary author for this insane manual for HHS/CPS and their designed home invasion interventions is Diane DePanfilis, Ph.D., M.S.W. She is the Associate Dean for. Research and an Associate Professor of Social Work at the University of Maryland. More importantly she is a co-editor of the Handbook on Child Protection Practice. In other words, DePanfilis has been a major player in the unconstitutional practices we see in CPS in all 50 states. As if this is not concerning enough, all of the other contributing authors have their professional origins and affiliations with the same organization. It was at this point, I smelled a rat. We have the primary author being a CPS author designed to teach their field operatives on the methods of how to abuse parents and undermine parental authority. And all of the contributing authors come from the exact same corporation, ICF. At this point, it is prudent to ask the question, who is ICF? ICF Is the Biggest Player That You Have Never Heard Of ICF International partners with government and commercial clients to deliver consulting services and technology solutions in climate change, energy, environment, transportation, social programs, defense, and homeland security markets. In my mind, this established ICF as a major player in the introduction and implementation of the globalist agenda by designing matching Federal programs. And as it turned out they are a major player in Obamacare through their subsidiary acquisition, Caliber Associates. Caliber is an established leader in providing research, consulting, and innovation in human services and human resource issues. ICF acquired Caliber in 2005 in order to serve HHS, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Department of Defense, and the U.S. Department of Education. Caliber Associates and their four contributing authors to the HHS/CPS field manual, which will be used to enforce child welfare regulations, was the undeniable link to Obamacare through this field manual. But as I discovered, the rabbit hole went even deeper. After I found the co-authors of the HHS/CPS policy manual which will guide these forced home inspections, I smelled the distinct odor of the United Nations and Agenda 21 and sure enough, this was exactly what I found. The United Nations and Obamacare At times, I feel that I have the globalist playbook and I am able to often anticipate their next move. Please allow me to briefly illustrate how the globalists have operated in another area, education, and then draw the parallel to how the UN is deeply involved in Obamacare. The Common Core Curriculum, which is sweeping the nations education system, was the product of Education for All. Education for All comes from the United Nations education arm, the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Common Core went from UNESCO to the National Governors Association who in turn farmed out the development of the details to various NGOs, which in turn sent the standards to each state for implementation. This is the standard model that the globalists follow when implementing a controversial program and Obamacare follows a similar pattern as did Common Core. There is no doubt that the provisions of allegedly protecting children in Obamacare, originated with the United Nations. In the United Nations document entitled, Human Rights, Persons with Disabilities, ICF and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (Training toolkit), implementation for programs designed to help people, children in particular, with disabilities, came from the World Health Organization (WHO) [Page 36], UNESCO [Page 37], the International Labour Organization (ILO) [Page 36] and the United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF)[Page 38]. As one can see from the title, ICF and the UN have partnered to protect people/children with disabilities. Conclusion Please remember that earlier in the article, I made the point that the HHS/CPS field manual referred to neglected children as children who have disabilities. It is quite apparent that any of the conditions listed in the HHS/CPS manual will produce children who have disabilities. And in the case of Ceausescu, in which he seized hundreds of thousands of children who had disabilities and planned to use them for purposes of the state, the same picture is beginning to emerge with regard to Obamacare and the home invasion visits. I can draw no other conclusion than Obamacare is State-sponsored child slavery. Under Obamacare, virtually every aspect of parenting is criminalized. Any child can be considered to have a disability for which the State is the only legitimate treatment source. When Obama was first running for President in 2008, he promised to build a civilian security force that was just as strong, just as well-funded as our military. And when one combines this conspiracy with Obamas Executive Order 13603 which calls for a mandatory civilian conscription to complement a military draft, it is clear that this lunatic is planning to enslave a large segment of the population, and he will obtain many of his conscripts from Obamacare. And many of you who are familiar with Agenda 21 and their expressed views toward parental rights and the rights of children, do not need me to connect the dots, you already have done so. My advice to all parents: dont answer the door on New Years Day 2014 when Obamacare begins to be implemented. 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:

2	I Never Knew What The White Strings In My Eggs Were. Now That I DoGROSS! Eggs are a staple part of our breakfast menu, but have we really given much thought to what exactly were eating?? Usually I just see the yellow yolk and the egg white in my eggs, but sometimes there are some extra ingredients in these things! Ive never known what these little white stringy things in me egg are, but apparently their presence isnt that bad after all! It turns out that these white strings are called Chalazae, and are used to anchor the yolk in the middle of the egg so that the growing embryo isnt pressed up against the shell. They get left behind in all eggs fertile or infertile but they are known to disintegrate over time. Therefore, you should actually be a bit concerned if you dont see them in your eggs Who knows how old those things are? Apparently they dont contain any fat, so you shouldnt be too concerned about a negative nutritional impact. But still, sometimes I find these sort of gross Does anybody have a good way to remove them from eggs? Please share with the rest of us! 
2	Hillary Messes Up BADLY And Loses Her Secured Spot As Democratic Nominee Hillary has been caught in scandal after scandal, and it seems that things have finally caught up with her. Recently, Hillary was accused in yet another email scandal for not protecting confidential information. Days later, she was hit hard with the polls. It seems that another Democratic candidate, Bernie Sanders (yes, you read that correctly), has taken the lead in Iowa and New Hampshire. If Sanders was able to pull off those two states, the Clinton campaign would be in severe trouble. Markay explains the situation well in his interview on Fox News. Were approaching panic mode for the Clinton campaign right now, because the entire argument for her candidacy so far has been basically her inevitability as a result of her wide name recognition and this tremendous political machine that she has behind her, Markay said. So Sanders picks up the first two states. All of a sudden, he looks like a very viable candidate, and I think most rank-and-file Democrats agree with him more on the issues than they do with Hillary Clinton. Things arent looking so great with Hillary. For a while, it seemed she could get away with anything. Now its all catching up to her. Were hoping for Bernie to take the Democratic nomination. That will automatically give the election to the Republican candidate. Do you think Hillary should be arrested and dropped from the running?

2	Joey Feek Dies After Courageous Cancer Battle, Her Last Words... Less than a week ago, we shared with you that Joey Feeks husband Rory had disclosed that her battle with cancer was taking a turn for the worse. Now, we are sad to report that the 40-year-old has passed away just weeks after fulfilling her dream of seeing her daughter turn two. Rory took to his blog a few weeks ago to share the news that Joeys pain was escalating and her health was steadily declining. He wrote that following their daughters birthday, Joey made a conscious decision that she was ready to stop fighting. She took the opportunity to say her goodbyes to her family, and shared her final thoughts with them before she fell into a deep sleep. Yesterday afternoon, she died peacefully, surrounded by her family. Rory shared the news to family, friends and fans on his blog, This Life I Live. As we were gathered around her, holding hands and praying, my precious bride breathed her last, he wrote. And a moment later took her first breath on the other side. Though this is, and has been, a time of many tears and sorrow, it has also been a time of countless tears of joy, he continued. There have been too many beautiful moments to count or even begin to share in this blog. But I try. When a person has been through as much pain and struggle as Joeys been through, you just want it to be over. You want them to not have to hurt anymore, more than you want them to stay with you, Rory said. And so, it makes the hard job of saying goodbye just a little easier. Will you continue to pray for this beautiful family? 
1	Speaking to reporters while crouched on the floor of his bathroom, local man Brandon Parker confirmed Tuesday that, deep down inside, he knows he has not yet finished vomiting. I want to believe that I can get up right now and go lie down in bed, but If Im being honest with myself, I have to admit Im not done here yet, said the pallid, perspiring 26-year-old, hovering over the rim of his toilet and acknowledging that, in his heart of hearts, he is fully aware he should stay right where he is. I just dont think I could look myself in the eye right now and say, Well, thats over with. Im good to go. No, this is where I should be. After several more minutes of silent contemplation, sources reported that Parker convinced himself that he had, in fact, finished vomiting, a position he later reversed in the hallway. 
1	Noting that without the brutal subjugation of its masses a totalitarian state is effectively meaningless, Syrian officials announced this week that the country is experiencing a severe shortage of civilians to tyrannize. 'After a year of continuously putting down popular uprisings with increasingly extreme violence, the regime is now running very low on people to crush beneath its iron fist,' said Prime Minister Adel Safar, later adding that the government would need to seriously reevaluate its approach to indiscriminate slaughter, with an eye toward rebuilding a healthy population of oppressible citizens. 'Effective immediately, we will focus more on murdering the sick and the old, while placing reasonable limits on the execution of pregnant women in the streets.' The Syrian government is also reportedly looking into the possibility of importing roughly 50,000 people from Iran, which has long enjoyed a surplus of citizens to brutalize. 
2	See The Patriotic Anti Obama Float Thats Causing Controversy Across The Country A small Nebraska town was the center of controversy after an anti-Obama float made an appearance in its Fourth of July parade. The float, shown below, features a zombie-like figure in a suit in front of an outhouse. Written on the outside of the house are the words: Obamas Presidential Library. Although the float received cheers and laughter from those watching the parade, it also received from negative attention from those offended by the statement. Some town members deemed the float both offensive and inappropriate. What do you think of the float? Is it offensive or spot on? 
1	Saying the company has received hundreds of rsums since posting the job opening to its website earlier this week, Goldman Sachs human resources manager David Browning reported Thursday that a high-level position with the investment bank had attracted applications from every official in the United States Treasury Department. Within just minutes of listing the open position on our jobs page, the flood of applications from treasury.gov email addresses started rolling in, and it hasnt slowed down since, said Browning, adding that most of the Treasury regulators who applied for the job highlighted their previous experience working closely with Wall Street financial firms and included a letter of recommendation from former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. All these applicants must realize what tough competition theyre up against, but at the same time, I remember how it was back when I was just another government official who was ready to make the move to the private sector. Well definitely keep the information of those candidates who dont get the job on file for future openings. Browning added that the new hire was needed to take over the responsibilities of a former Goldman Sachs executive who had recently left for a high-ranking position in the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
1	Following reports of a severe winter storm system threatening to pummel several areas of the nations Northeast, Syracuse-area homeless citizen Randall Limpkin told reporters today the impending storm could very well threaten his plans to survive over Thanksgiving. They said the storms supposed to be at its worst on Wednesday, which is definitely going to completely disrupt my plan of not freezing to death on a barren city street during the holiday weekend, said Limpkin, adding that he had been planning as early as August to live over Thanksgiving. I mean, I was really looking forward to being alive this Thanksgiving, but I guess with this weather you cant really plan to not die, you know? At press time, Limpkin told reporters that, regardless of what happened, he was definitely not planning on surviving over Christmas. 
3	Donald Trumps Neocon Foreign Policy AdvisorBy Kurt Nimmo First, lets consider Joseph E. Schmitz. He is a former Inspector General of the Department of Defense and a former executive with Blackwater Worldwide. He fled the Pentagon after he was accused of protecting top Bush officials accused of wrongdoing. Blackwater, now Academi, the military contractor founded by Eric Prince, played a substantial role during the Iraq War. It is infamous for killing seventeen Iraqi citizens in 2007, the same year the corporation was accused of illegally smuggling weapons into the country. Blackwater did not like being investigated for its misdeeds. In 2007, Blackwater Manager Daniel Carroll threatened to kill Jean Richter, a State Department Investigator. Schmitz is connected to the Center for Security Policy (CSP), a think tank formed by Frank Gaffney, a neocon so radical he was rejected by the Pentagon when he was Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear Forces and Arms Control Policy in the Reagan Administration. He is associated with other neocons, including Richard Perle, who rose to prominence as aides of the late Democrat Senator Henry Scoop Jackson. The Center for Security Policy, described by William Arkin as the Dominos Pizza of the policy business, claims there is a stealth jihad underway in America and Muslims plan to install sharia law. Former CIA director and staunch neocon James Woolsey coauthored a report for the center claiming sharia law is a major threat to the United States. After CSP sent a letter to the State Department Inspector General accusing Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin of working undercover for the Muslim Brotherhood, a number of Republicans, including John McCain, John Boehner, and Marco Rubio, denounced the group. Trump and former Republican member of the House, Michele Bachmann, often cited CSP propaganda. Trumps call for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States was in part inspired by the results of a CSP poll. The poll said 25% of Muslims queried supported violent jihad and more than half favored sharia law. The methodology and accuracy of the poll issuspect. Philip Bump of The Washington Post said the polls structure encouraged Muslims to select the options endorsing violence. On Friday The Canary reported Schmitz worked with a Saudi prince to illegally provide arms to the jihadists in Syria. Schmitz was in direct contact with then Free Syrian Army (FSA) commander Gen. Salim Idris. Schmitz hoped his deal with Gen. Idris would be a first step toward potential future assistance from Blackwater founder Erik Prince himself, writes Brad Hoff. Idris, a former Syrian Army commander, was appointed to lead a Salafist dominated military command in 2012. The unified command includes many with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and to Salafists, who follow a puritanical interpretation of Islam. It excludes the most senior officers who had defected from Assads military, Reuters reported. Its composition, estimated to be two-thirds from the Muslim Brotherhood and its allies, reflects the growing strength of Islamist fighters on the ground and resembles that of the civilian opposition leadership coalition created under Western and Arab auspices in Qatar Idris and [Col. Abdul Jabbar al-Okaidi] were the very men that Joseph Schmitz stood ready to arm through a mysterious Saudi middle man before the whole private venture was reportedly shut down by a CIA official who intervened in Amman, Jordan, writes Hoff. Trump has a second fringe neocon in his circle of confidantsWalid Phares. Phares is associated with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a neocon organization that teamed up with the American Enterprise Institute and the Hudson Institute to propagandize (and lie) America into invading Iraq. In 2011, Phares became one of several neocon advisors to the Mitt Romney presidential campaign. Other advisers included Eliot Cohen, Robert Kagan, Michael Chertoff, Eric Edelman, John Lehman, Dan Senor, Vin Weber, and Paula Dobriansky. Phares, a Christian Maronite of Lebanese origin, was associated with the Lebanese Forces in the 1980s. In the 1970s the Lebanese Forces were part the Kataeb Party, also known as the Lebanese Phalanges Party. Its militia killed 3,500 Palestinians at the Shatila refugee camp in Beirut in 1982 during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. Elie Hobeika, a prominent figure in the Phalanges, served as the Lebanese Forces intelligence chief and liaison officer with Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency. Many of Donald Trumps foreign policy pronouncements are contradictory. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, has demonstrated her willingness to do the bidding of the neocons in Libya and Syria. She has not vacillated in her commitment to total war. More than a few neocons, most notably Max Boot, have said they will vote her. The danger for America is not Trump, but Hillary Clinton, writes John Pilger. She is no maverick. She embodies the resilience and violence of a system whose vaunted exceptionalism is totalitarian with an occasional liberal face. Trump may indeed rollback the aggressive military posture of the United States, as promised; then again, considering his coterie of foreign policy advisers and his penchant for flip-flopping, he may continue to engage in foreign interventionism, albeit with his signature flair. 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. Makes you want to vote for Hillary Clinton. Trump in the White House will cause millions of Americans to let their guard down and go to sleep. Hillary as CINC will continue the awakening of Americans from coast-to-coast. Bottom line, if Trump doesnt bring an end to War on Terror, and do it immediately, hes with the Globalists either through direct participation or severe ignorance. Lets wait and see what unfolds but it looks like Trump is the preferred candidate. Undecider you are not serious, that treasonous biped is the most vile woman on the planet. Schmitz is connected to the Center for Security Policy (CSP), a think tank formed by Frank Gaffney, a neocon so radical he was rejected by the Pentagon when he was Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear Forces and Arms Control Policy in the Reagan Administration. He is associated with other neocons, including Richard Perle, who rose to prominence as aides of the late Democrat Senator Henry Scoop Jackson. 
3	The Conspiracy Theorists Were Right Mega Bank Admits to Rigging Global Gold and Silver MarketsBy Justin Gardner In a stunning victory for conspiracy theorists within the precious metals space, overnight Deutsche Bank not only agreed to settle a lawsuit accusing it of manipulating the silver fix, but also agreed to help the plaintiffs pursue similar claims against other banks as part of the settlement by providing instant messages and other communications, reports ZeroHedge. And so the former cartel members are turning on each other. Within the span of 24 hours, it was reported that Deutsche Bank, along with other banks, has been rigging both the silver and gold futures markets since 2007. The German-based bank reached a settlement in two separate lawsuits brought by bullion investors. According to Reuters: The plantiffs accused Deutsche Bank of conspiring with Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS.TO), Barclays Plc (BARC.L), HSBC Holdings Plc (HSBA.L) and Societe General (SOGN.PA) to manipulate prices of gold, gold futures and options, and gold derivatives through twice-a-day meetings to set the so-called London Gold Fixing. While they were illegally fixing prices in the gold market, Bloomberg reports they had an equally unscrupulous hand in the silver market too. Traders alleged the banks abused their position of controlling the daily silver fix to reap illegitimate profit from trading, hurting other investors in the silver market who use the benchmark in billions of dollars of transactions, according to a version of the complaint filed in April 2015. Of those four banks, only Deutsche Bank has reached a settlement. Details of the settlements are forthcoming and will involve a monetary payment by Deutsche Bank.Interestingly, Deutsche Bank will also be cooperating with the plaintiffs in prosecuting the other banks. A letter to Judge Valerie Caproni states: In addition to valuable monetary consideration, Deutsche Bank has also agreed to provide cooperation to plaintiffs, including the production of instant messages, and other electronic communications, as part of the settlement. In Plaintiffs estimation, the cooperation to be provided by Deutsche Bank will substantially assist Plaintiffs in the prosecution of their claims against the non-settling defendants. Its a shocking turnaround from the years of collusion between the banks in daily secret meetings to rip off investors. The lawsuits that have now revealed price-rigging in silver and gold futures markets were brought by private investors. It is worth noting that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the government agency that is supposed to regulate these banks, initiated its own investigation in 2008 and found no wrongdoing. ZeroHedge reports that the CFTC, then headed by ex-Goldman Sachs bankster, Gary Gensler, dropped their five-year probe into the silver markets. The news of market manipulation by Deutsche Bank comes only days after Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs admitted to defrauding the United States government for nearly an entire decade, which subsequently led to the housing market collapse. In all of these criminal banking incidents, not one person was held responsible. Instead, the banks merely reached in between the proverbial couch cushions, pull out a few billion and pay off their accusers. It then goes back to business as usual. Once again, we see that big banks and big government are the same beast, and we are the prey. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Where do I sign up I own silver. Then you dont have the price you would get had they not been suppressing it since 2007. They have wasted a lot of your time and money. Everything predicted by the enemies of banks, in the beginning, is now coming to pass. We are to be ruined now by the deluge of bank paper. It is cruel that such revolutions in private fortunes should be at the mercy of avaricious adventurers, who, instead of employing their capital, if any they have, in manufactures, commerce, and other useful pursuits, make it an instrument to burden all the interchanges of property with their swindling profits, profits which are the price of no useful industry of theirs. Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Cooper, 1814. ME 14:61 It is said that our paper is as good as silver, because we may have silver for it at the bank where it issues. This is not true. One, two, or three persons might have it; but a general application would soon exhaust their vaults, and leave a ruinous proportion of their paper in its intrinsic worthless form. Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813. ME 13:426 Specie is the most perfect medium because it will preserve its own level; because, having intrinsic and universal value, it can never die in our hands, and it is the surest resource of reliance in time of war. Thomas Jefferson to John Wayles Eppes, 1813. ME 13:430 Paper is poverty, it is only the ghost of money, and not money itself. Thomas Jefferson to Edward Carrington, 1788. ME 7:36 Experience has proved to us that a dollar of silver disappears for every dollar of paper emitted. Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 1791. ME 8:208 The evils of this deluge of paper money are not to be removed until our citizens are generally and radically instructed in their cause and consequences, and silence by their authority the interested clamors and sophistry of speculating, shaving, and banking institutions. Till then, we must be content to return quoad hoc to the savage state, to recur to barter in the exchange of our property for want of a stable common measure of value, that now in use being less fixed than the beads and wampum of the Indian, and to deliver up our citizens, their property and their labor, passive victims to the swindling tricks of bankers and mountebankers. Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 1819. ME 15:185 If the debt which the banking companies owe be a blessing to anybody, it is to themselves alone, who are realizing a solid interest of eight or ten per cent on it. As to the public, these companies have banished all our gold and silver medium, which, before their institution, we had without interest, which never could have perished in our hands, and would have been our salvation now in the hour of war; instead of which they have given us two hundred million of froth and bubble, on which we are to pay them heavy interest, until it shall vanish into air We are warranted, then, in affirming that this parody on the principle of a public debt being a public blessing, and its mutation into the blessing of private instead of public debts, is as ridiculous as the original principle itself. In both cases, the truth is, that capital may be produced by industry, and accumulated by economy; but jugglers only will propose to create it by legerdemain tricks with paper. Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813. ME 13:423 CNBC is erasing my post and blocking me for mentioning their failure to report serious financial news. European banks including Deutsche Bank have admitted to RIGGING THE PRICE OF GOLD AND SILVER ON THE FUTURES MARKET SINCE 2007. The Banks in question are paying heavy fines but no jail times talked about for rigging Gold and Silver price on the futures market for nearly a decade. Yet CNBC has this Gold article? In the words of the LA Gov and felon Edwin Edwards: Of course I took the money. Wouldnt you? Lets expand the death penalty. WE ARE JUST SICK OF THESE BANKSTERS!! LOCK THEM UP!! TAKE BACK OUR MONEY!! The wack job, nut case conspiracy theorists just happen to be right about everything. Zio-Terrorism is the root. Ba dum tssss.:-) Good one! Realise that the world around is, in many respects, false, sordid, and extremely calculating, and hateful of those who seem by research and labour to cast any, even the slightest, reection on its hollow pretences and feeble life. The Human Soul possesses, from the fact of its being of the same essence as all creation, a marvellous power. One who possesses the secret is enabled to rise as high as his imagination will carry him; but he does that only on the condition of becoming closely united to this universal force.

Anyone who wants to own physical goldwill have to anwer to the government because once you actually have over a set amount (determined by the government) you must register it.

3	Gun Confiscation IS Happening HerePermanent Gun Confiscation Ordered After Veteran Sought Voluntary Treatment for Insomnia For those who have always believed that it cant happen here, think again, because it IS happening, and things are only going to get worse as data surveillance becomes a way of life. Gun confiscation at the hands of medical records sharing is now officially a reality, with serious consequences for the individuals involved. Now, under ObamaCare, the United States is on pace to swiftly become a snitch society that would make East Germany and Soviet Russia blush. One former Navy man and 30-year police force veteran is suing the relevant authorities in New York after four of his legally registered firearms were confiscated as a result of his seeking voluntary treatment for insomnia. Despite the fact that he has no criminal record, was diagnosed with only mild depression and his record explicitly noted that there was no concern for violence, the man was listed as a mental defective. And thanks to New Yorks SAFE Act for Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act of 2013, his weapons were seized by the local sheriffs office after his records were shared and New York State Police made repeated requests for confiscation, as American Thinker reported: According to the suit, the hospital diagnosed the plaintiff as mildly depressed, and his clinical evaluation stated, Patient has no thoughts of hurting himself. Patient has no thoughts of hurting others. Patient is not having suicidal thoughts. Patient is not having homicidal thoughts and there is no evidence of any psychotic processes, mania, or OCD symptoms. Insight, judgment, and impulse control are good. The suit further alleges that a psychiatrist told the plaintiff, I dont know why you were referred here. You dont belong here. Nonetheless, the suit contends that five days after being discharged from the hospital, the local sheriffs department showed up at Montgomerys door and seized his four registered handguns, including his former duty sidearm, after the sheriff had been subjected to repeated pressure by the New York State Police, who claimed that Montgomery had been declared mentally defective and had been involuntarily committed to a mental institution. Montgomery alleges that the hospital violated his privacy by transmitting his medical information to the State Police without his consent or knowledge. Montgomery subsequently requested a hearing to have his handgun ownership permit reinstated, but the sheriffs department allegedly terminated his permit without a hearing. The plaintiff, Donald Montgomery, filed a lawsuit against numerous parties connected to the incident, including Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Vincent DeMarco, Sheriff of Suffolk County, and Joseph DAmico, Superintendent of the New York State Police, alleging violations of several of his Constitutional amendments, including violations of the safeguards for the right to bear arms, for privacy, against unwarranted search and seizure, for due process and for equal protection under the law. This lawsuit alleges the creation, implementation, marketing, and use of a reporting system for medical professionals to transmit personal health information to the State pursuant to NY Mental Hygiene Law 9.46, enacted January 15, 2013 as part of the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act violates the civil liberties of the Plaintiff and all other persons similarly situated, including his/their rights under the Second, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. The State has amassed the confidential, personal health information of tens of thousands of people into a database shared by various State agencies [which] includes, but is not limited to, any mental health diagnosis of a patient At the heart of this issue here is not only how mental health designations are now being used to restrict gun rights, but how the medical profession is now breaking the doctor-patient privilege to become an informant against the patient, and reporting them to an expansive government and law enforcement database. This is taking place without the knowledge of the patient, or even the right to find out what is written in the record, and, further, it is happening without any criminal act or wrongdoing taking place or even being suspected. The lawsuit alleges that prior to New Yorks SAFE Act, which was passed under rushed emergency legislation rules: the statutory standard for a break in the confidential doctor-patient relationship leading to a report to a law enforcement officer was a likelihood of serious harm to self or others, meaning a substantial risk of physical har[m] to self as manifested by threats of or attempts at suicide or serious bodily harm or other conduct demonstrating that he is dangerous to himself or a substantial risk of physical harm to other persons None of this had been alleged against Montgomery, yet he and tens of thousands of others in a similar designation were reported to law enforcement and government databases, constituting a major breach of the doctor-patient relationship and a drastic change in policy both in the state of New York, and more broadly throughout the United States. And the trend is continuing under the guise of gun safety and common sense background checks. Numerous passages in President Obamas 23 executive orders concerning mental health and gun control issued in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting sound eerily similar to what happened to Montgomery in New York State, with the White House effectively tapping doctors to amass data on gun owners during patient visits: Address unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, that may prevent states from making information available to the background check system. It was recently reported that a National Database Warehouse is underway to store and manage the massive quantities of information being collected under ObamaCare: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) islookingfor vendors to run its National Data Warehouse, a database for capturing, aggregating, and analyzing information related to beneficiary and customer experiences with Medicare and the federal Obamacare marketplaces. Despite what may be the best intentions on the part of the government, these policies are being misused through the use of massive databases that contain sweeping information, and amount to a pre-crime Stasi culture that encourages secret reporting and an atmosphere based upon suspicion rather than evidence, at the expense of ones rights without even committing a crime. And there have already been other abuses. Police confiscated firearms from a man named David Lewis, before later admitting they had taken them from the wrong man: Erie County Clerk Chris Jacobs said that late today he received a call from the New York State Police informing him that they had provided information on the wrong person when they notified his office of someone whose permit should be suspended because of the new mental health provisions in New Yorks SAFE Act, the release begins. When you write a piece of legislation in a vacuum, without having hearings, without talking to people about how its going to implemented in the real world without jeopardizing peoples rights, and putting an individual like this through a nightmarish experience, and infringe on their rights, you have to go back to the drawing board, he said. And I encourage the legislative leadership here and mostly our governor to take a step back and say we didnt get it right and lets change this. Ultimately, it will discourage people with legitimate needs from seeking medical treatment due to fears that their records will result in a police visit or an official classification that irreparably misrepresents their status or intentions. As the American Thinker noted: In the old Soviet and East German police states of the Cold War, police kept secret files on scores of common people. Information was fed to the police by thousands of clandestine sources and a seemingly banal or routine interaction with nearly anyone could lead to a surprise knock on the door by authorities. During the late Soviet era, communist leadership moved away from the executions and purges of the Stalin years and began to increasingly rely upon medical professionals to diagnose enemies of the state as insane thus, a routine trip to your doctor could lead to a visit from police.

3	NY state senator says: psych eval for all little childrenJon Rappoport Its been referred to the education committee twice, most recently a week ago. NY State Senator Margaret Markey introduced it in 2013. Previously, Markey won a few minutes of fame for introducing a bill that would stop all restaurants from using salt in their meals. AB 8186 requires all public schoolchildren in NY to have two health examinations in elementary grades and two in secondary grades. These exams must include a psychological evaluation, which certifies that the child is mentally fit to permit attendance at [public] school. No certificate, no school. Aside from the fact that this psych exam is invasive and potentially disturbing to a child as young as five, and aside from the fact that it violates privacy considerations, its bogus down to its core, because psychology isnt a science and never was. Psychology is, to put it politely, a bunch of morons deciding what mental health is all about. Using high-sounding terminology, these professionals label patients with conditions, none of which are based on defining physical tests. No blood, urine, or saliva tests. No genetic tests. No brain scans. Attaching psychologists to schools is about as useful as attaching barnacles and mold to a ship. Historically, as the concept of sin weakened its hold on the population, new scientists stepped into the breach with categories of mental disorders. Youre not bad, youre ill. Heres the sticking point. Psychologists arent entirely stupid. They rely on mental-disorder labels that, to a certain extent, mirror human behavior. For example, a child who is sad and lonely is slapped with a diagnosis of clinical depression. The fact is, the child is lonely and sad, and the possible reasons are many. But none of them implies a Condition called clinical depression. There is no Condition. Researchers, allied with pharmaceutical interests, have trotted out a catch-all term to explain so-called mental disorders: chemical imbalance in the brain. The drug companies then supply the drugs that are said to correct the imbalance. Profits soar. This is non-scientific lying compounded. Researchers have never proved there is a normal baseline for brain chemistry. How then could they have established what an imbalance is? Can a child have problems? Can he be in trouble? Can he be trouble to other children? Of course. Any reasonably intelligent adult can spot these things. But again, this has nothing to do with a Condition. And a psych eval conducted by a psychologist on a five-year old, to determine whether the child will be allowed to go to school? Absurd. You would be much closer to the truth saying a psychologist who is part of that system is crazy, than saying a little boy or girl has a Condition. So whats going on with politicians who are trying to impose psychology and psychiatry on children (and adults)? Most politicians are merely ill-informed, and theyre putting their faith in this pseudoscience in the same way that people put their faith in a self-appointed priest class that claims it is the worshipers only connection to God. Politicians, of course, always look for answers that make government larger and more intrusive, because it is government to which a politician is ultimately loyal. But there are other political animals who are more aware. They understand that the real issue is control. They want to be able to hijack freedom and place populations under the gun. They want the right to say a dissident, a rebel, an outsider, a critic, someone who is different is a threat. And they want to back that up with treatment. Which means re-education, indoctrination, and debilitating drugs. A kinder, gentler face on the old Soviet psychiatric system. Why wait until adulthood to impose that system? Why not start early, with a five-year old, whose mind can be tinkered with by professionals? Understand, if it isnt clear already, that the government, through licensing, enables and certifies a monopoly on the mind, by stating that psychology and psychiatry are officially approved methods. What right does government have to make that claim? It has no right. It has no rational reason to be in that business. But a politician abandons rationality as soon as he gets a whiff of the power that government affords. Its how a nobody immediately becomes a somebody.

1	A thus-far undiscovered hantavirus inhabiting Tigers third baseman Brandon Inge confessed Tuesday that it would love to seriously afflict and be named after a 'real-life baseball player.' 'I imagine I'll be given an uninspiring medical classification, like hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, but I would love to be commonly known as Joe Mauer's disease,' the virus said while increasing Inge's vascular permeability in order to bring about pulmonary edema and simultaneously disrupt the player's renal system. 'Hopefully I don't get discovered in this guy before I get a chance to infect someone really good, like Justin Verlander. My dream is to cause massive splenomegaly and eventually tachycardia in Albert Pujols, but I don't even know if that's possible for a virus like me, so for now that's all it isa dream.' The virus went on to idly inhibit B cells in the shape of Derek Jeter. 
2	What Steve Harvey Just Said About Hillary Clinton Will Make Your FURIOUS Actor, comedian and television host Steve Harvey has an immense following, but hes losing the respect of many of his fans after endorsing Hillary Clinton during a recent radio show. She has fought for social justice, equality and policies that expand civil and economic opportunity out there, Harvey told his listeners. He then went on to applaud Clinton for her promises to significant improve conditions for the black community. As president, you really plan on building on the progress that President Obama has made to deliver some real results for a lot of Americans, including African-Americans, Harvey continued. And Im endorsing you as my candidate for President of the United States and I just think that youre going to just do the right thing for the majority of the people in this country. The fact that Harvey thinks that Obama has made significant progress toward improving this country is one thing, but the idea that Hillary would continue to build is downright laughable. What do you think? Does Harveys endorsement of Hillary alter your opinion of him? 
3	Flame Steals Data Even When Computers Are Not Connected to the InternetSusanne Posel, Contributor Flame can move stolen data to a USB memory stick plugged into an infected harddrive. Bitdefender assertsthat this ability has never been witnessed before. This cyber-espionage virus will move stolen information to an USB outlet, then seemingly wait for the chance to upload it to the malware controllers once the infected computer links to the Internet. Bogdan Botezatu, malware analyst from Bitdefeder, said: It turns users into data mules. Chances are, at some point, a user with an infected flash drive will plug it into a secure computer in a contained environment, and Flame will carry the targets information from the protected environment to the outside worldIt uses its ability to infect to ensure an escape route for the data. This is is somewhat revolutionary for a piece of malware. Eugene Kaspersky, of the Russian Kaspersky Lab, uncovered Flame under orders from the UN. The US and Israel came together to attack Iran; along with the European Union and a wide range of employed experts to guarantee that the worm would perform as planned. This virus attacked and damaged Iranian centrifuges used to enrich uranium at the Natanz facility. The Obama administration claims to be launching an investigation into Flame, which is a highly classified project. Independent researchers have long attributed Stuxnet and Flame to the same cyberattacks and even claimed they are the same virus. Kasperskys lab has hard evidence of this fact. The Pentagon, through a report in 2011, assessed that the US is involved in cyberespionage, but claims it is a defense to the thefts of industrial and defense secrets of other cyberspies. Roel Schouwenberg, a senior researcher at Kaspersky Lab, commented: We are now 100 percent sure that the Flame and Stuxnet groups worked together. The fact that the Flame group shared their source code with the Stuxnet group shows they cooperated at least once. These two viruses share the same pieces of code at their based developmental stage, making them virtually identical; and most likely created by the same entity. Alexander Gostev, Kaspersky Labs Chief Security Expert, says: What we have found is very strong evidence that the Stuxnet/Duqu and Flame cyberweapons are connected. Hypocritically, the US government complained about the Chinese governments cyberattack of their citizens dating back to 1999 after the UNs NATO bombed the Chinese Embassy. Just last week, the Obama administration admitted to teaming up with Israel to create Stuxnet which attempts to extend full spectrum dominance in the Internet. While continuing the cyberattacks begun with former President Bush. The same virus was called Olympic Games back then. President Obama, trying to displace responsibility and blame, has suggested that the New York Times made-up their stories on Flame, Stuxnet and his administrations involvement. This journalistic propaganda, designed to admit through confusion, will allow the White House to not acknowledge their responsibility with the blanket of plausible deniability. Israel has not publicly admitted nor denied involvement with Obamas cyberattacks, Flame or Stuxnet. RELATED ACTIVIST POST ARTICLES: Susanne Posel is the Chief Editor of Occupy Corporatism.

2	Woman Collects $1500/Month From Welfare, Too Lazy To Work, Now She Is DEMANDING... Debbie Merton, a middle aged woman from Great Britain, has been living off of government tax money for years. She is given $1500 a month, but says that she deserves more than that. She says that she has a disability, although did not comment on what it was. She says she has never worked because even when she was younger, she didnt have any valuable skill sets. Merton made a guest appearance on the show Benefits Britain, where she completely destroyed the British Government and royal family. Her main problem was that they get to live off of so much money without doing hardly anything, and that it is unfair. She commented that Its just disgusting how they expect you to live on money and support a house and support yourself. She sounds like a bit of a hypocrite, if you ask me. Merton has been asked to vacate her apartment, more recently, for too many noise complaints. It doesnt seem that she is too great of a citizen, and although there may be more to the story than weve gauged, it seems that she isnt all too deserving of the $1500 a month. The key to success is hard work, and it seems that she is lacking in that department. Do you think Merton should be stripped of her government funding? 
2	Mississippi Woman Tries To Join ISIS, Gets Met With Immediate Patriotic Justice According to reports, a former Mississippi State University student has just been sentenced to 12 years in prison for attempting to join the Islamic State last summer. 20-year-old Jaelyn Delshaun Young was raised in Vicksburg, Mississippi. She was arrested on August 8, 2015, at an airport near Columbus with her boyfriend, Muhammad Oda Dakhlalla. The couple was planning to travel to Syria under the guise of a honeymoon. Upon arrival, they hoped to join the radical Islamic terrorist organization. Earlier this year, Young pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to provide material support to a terrorist organization. Investigators found evidence of online communications between the woman and ISIS recruiters in the Middle East. The conversations included efforts to arrange travel into Syria for herself and Dakhlalla. Investigators believe Young was radicalized when she was a student at Mississippi State. Her mother and father, a police officer in Vicksburg, pleaded with U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock for leniency. The judge did not go too easy on her, however. Young could have received up to 20 years in prison, but after listening to her parents pleas, he handed down a 12-year sentence instead. Dakhlalla, who pleaded guilty to similar charges, will be sentenced in two weeks. This is just one frightening example of the Islamic State groups efforts to actively recruit young people all over the world through social media. 
3	Fracking industry dealt huge blow by downgrade of Monterey shale formationDylan and Jo Murphy The myth of American energy independence from fracking has been dealt a huge blow by the downgrade of recoverable oil from the Monterey shale formation. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has slashed its estimate of oil reserves from the Monterey shale formation by a massive 96%. In 2011 the EIA released a report that reviewed US shale oil and gas reserves. It stated that the largest shale oil formation in America was the Monterey play in Southern California. The report estimated that the Monterey shale formation held 15.5 billion barrels of oil or 64% of total U.S. shale oil reserves. Californias vast shale deposits were labelled black gold due to this forecast. On the basis of this rosy review the University of California produced a report forecasting millions of new jobs and billions in extra tax revenues. Such academic reports have played a part in encouraging the media frenzy that has tried desperately to promote fracking to the American people as a clean, safe industry that will create jobs, foster a renaissance in manufacturing industry, increase tax revenues and help America be independent of supplies from its geopolitical enemies. On top of this, American imperialism is using these inflated claims for its energy reserves to advance its geopolitical interests. The Obama administration are using the crisis in Ukraine to put pressure on their puppet allies in the EU to wean themselves off Russian gas and buy American fracking gas in the future. Frankly, the Ukraine crisis has brought into sharp relief Europes energy dependence on Russia, so we are going to work closely with our European allies on the importance of both short- and long-term efforts to diversify their energy sources, to modernize their infrastructure, and to limit Russias ability to use energy as a tool of political leverage. The big gas companies are drooling at the prospect of selling fracking gas abroad. There are two bills before Congress that hope to fast track exports of liquefied gas: Senate Bill 2274 and House Bill 6. Obviously, the gas corporations dont care two figs for the energy supplies of Europe but they do want to sell fracking gas abroad. They can get a much higher price in Europe than they can get domestically. This means a huge increase in profits. The 96% downgrade of recoverable oil reserves from the Monterey shale formation which were supposed to represent two-thirds of Americas shale oil reserves is big news. However, this news was overshadowed by the giant mega gas deal between Russia and China that came out the same day. Industry Response You will not find any corporate politician or mainstream media outlet that will discuss the significance of the Monterey shale oil downgrade. The oil industry itself tries to brush off the significance of this downgrade by the EIA. Industry spokespeople claim that big oil has far from given up on the prospect of extracting tight oil in California through multi-stage horizontal fracking. They have vowed to continue to find ways to extract tight oil in California. In a recent statement Catherine Reheis-Boyd, President of the Western States Petroleum Association said: We have a great deal of confidence that the skill, experience and innovative spirit possessed by the men and women of the petroleum industry will ultimately solve this puzzle and improve production rates from the Monterey Shale. Reality Check If we put industry propaganda to one side, the reality is that this downgrade represents a huge blow to the fracking industry. Not only them, but also to the capitalist politicians in Congress, who put such great hopes on oil and gas from fracking. California state Senator Holly Mitchell, sponsor of anti-fracking legislation, told ABC News in May: The cost-benefit analysis of fracking in California has just changed drastically. Referring to the 96 percent reduction, she asks, Why put so many at risk for so little? We now know that the projected economic benefits are only a small fraction of what the oil industry has been touting. There is no ocean of black gold that fracking is going to release tomorrow, leaving California awash in profits and jobs. Ashley Miller, Executive Director of the Post Carbon Institute, commented: The downgrade of the Monterey should raise questions about the veracity of the EIAs other estimates, especially considering their past track record with other plays (notably the Marcellus). It should put the so-called shale revolution into perspective, particularly because the typical life cycle of a shale play appears to be very short. Statistical Fantasy Tom Whipple, a highly respected peak oil analyst, has cast doubt on the new revised figure of 600 million barrels, which in itself may be high. J.David Hughes, geologist, has extensively studied the Monterey shale formation. He produced a study in 2013 which showed the EIAs 2011 forecast was vastly overstated. The oil had always been a statistical fantasy. Left out of all the hoopla was the fact that the EIAs estimate was little more than a back-of-the-envelope calculation. In 2013 Hughes produced the most comprehensive analysis to date of prospects for shale gas and tight oil in the United States. His landmark Drill Baby Drill report seriously undermines the media myth that the United States is on the verge of becoming an energy superpower that will rival Saudi Arabia and Russia. Hughes has noted the significance of the massive downgrade in recoverable oil reserves in California. Monterey was a huge field wiped out with a stroke of a pen: Thats like two Bakkens off the table in one fell swoop, Hughes said. Youre going to have a whole slew of poorly producing wells in a decade or so. The good news is that supply grows short term, but the bad news is that we may have a very serious supply issue 10-15 years out. The economics of fracking just does not add up The American people need to be made aware that the oil and gas fracking industry will not deliver on its promises of a jobs boom that will foster a manufacturing renaissance and deliver higher tax receipts. The economics of fracking just does not add up. The much touted Bakken shale formation in North Dakota is a good example of the wishful thinking behind the myths used to hoodwink people. According to the Interntional Energy Agency it will take 2,500 new wells a year just to sustain the Bakken shale plays output of 1 million barrels per day. To break even U.S. shale oil needs oil priced at $80 barrel. Meanwhile, Iraq can produce the same amount of oil from just 60 conventional oil wells at a cost of $20 per barrel. To compound matters American shale oil producers need to spend vast amounts just to stay even. Financial analyst Stacy Herbert has commented on this major problem facing the U.S. fracking industry: The U.S. Oil industry is also due to spend $2.8 trillion by 2035 just to stay even whereas the Middle East, for example, will spend a third less, produce three times more in the same time. So it can only be done with zero per cent interest rates and free money. Bloomberg reported in February of this year that independent producers will spend $1.50 for every dollar they get back. The only way they can stay in business is by accumulating large amounts of debt. According to Ryan Oatman, an energy analyst with SunTrust Robinson Humphrey Inc., an investment bank in Houston, oil prices have stayed high enough for investors to remain interested in the fracking industry. However, Oatman has pointed out: There is a point at which investors become worried about debt levels and how that spending is going to be financed. How do you accelerate and drill without making investors worried about the balance sheet? Thats the key tension in this industry. Ashley Miller, Executive Director of the Post Carbon Institute, has noted that the Monterey Shale downgrade should make: investors more circumspect. The shale revolution is in many ways a story of cheap credit fuelling uneconomic drilling. Industry has hyped claims and relentlessly drilled (even when they were losing money) in order to keep low-interest loans and investments coming. If investors become more circumspect, it could put a dent in drilling rates which would put an end to the shale revolution in short order. Oil and gas drilling resembles a Ponzi scheme of vast proportions. The shale drillers have to keep up the frantic pace of drilling due to the 2-3 year life span of most wells. This massive drilling programme is based upon huge amounts of cheap debt thanks to the Feds policy of zero percent interest rates. This borrow drill repeat strategy is living on borrowed time. Any increase in interest rates would blow this Ponzi scheme industry apart. Tim Gramatovich, who helps manage more than $800 million as chief investment officer of Santa Barbara, California-based Peritus Asset Management LLC, has observed that, Its a perfect set-up for investors to lose a lot of money, The model is unsustainable. Pressure to support a moratorium The Monterey shale downgrade has been described as a bombshell by Dr. Kassie Siegel Director of the Centre for Biological Diversity in California. She points out that this bombshell will hopefully put California Governor Jerry Brown under increasing pressure to support a moratorium on fracking in the golden state. Governor Brown has endorsed an expansion of fracking across California. This has led to an increase in air pollution and permission to dump 9 billion gallons of toxic fracking waste water into the ocean. This has led to growing public opposition from residents suffering a growing list of health problems, climate scientists and farmers. Californian farmers are concerned that fracking will consume a lot of water in a state plagued by the worst drought. A recent poll commissioned by the Sierra Club and the Natural Resources Defence Council, found that 68 percent of Californians support a moratorium on fracking in their state. The massive downgrade in the Monterey shale formation may well lend momentum to this opposition from ordinary people. Across the United States there is a growing movement of opposition to fracking which makes it harder and more expensive for the oil and gas companies to continue extracting oil and gas. Take for example the recent vote by the city of Canandaigua, New York which has voted to ban the exploration, storage and treatment of waste water within city limits. Canandaigua joins a growing list of cities, towns and villages across New York that have adopted bans and moratoriums upon fracking. According to the latest summary by John Hoff, who has tracked fracking votes for several years, 213 New York state communities have voted for bans or moratorium upon fracking operations. Meanwhile, another 90 are considering action against fracking operations in their areas. The massive downgrade of the Monterey shale formation confirms the analysis of geologist David Hughes that oil and gas fracking in America will not provide for the American peoples long-term energy needs. It deals a huge blow to the geopolitical ambitions of American imperialism. Most E.U. countries realise they are dependent on Russian gas over the longer term. The American ruling class is addicted to short-termist solutions to its energy needs. Left in the hands of corrupted politicians the American people face a nightmare future of massive pollution from oil and gas fracking. The American people must take their destiny into their own hands and overthrow a profit-seeking, parasitic economic system that will destroy the planet if left in place. 
3	Israel Defense Force Vet Offers Holographic Google Glass CompetitorNicholas West The military origins of nearly all high tech systems that trickle down to the consumer is a standard part of the military industrial complex. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that a new competitor to Google in the augmented reality field is Meta a company being chaired by Meron Gribetz, an Israel Defense Forces veteran. The company seeks to take the Google Glass concept one step further by incorporating the worlds first holographic wearable interface. Metas CEO Gribetz worked in an elite technological unit of the Israel Defense Forces and, according to their website, he has studied at Columbia University in the field of neuroscience. This is important to note, as Obamas BRAIN project and its counterpart in Europe have invested billions in order to directly merge humans with machines. There is also a distinct pursuit of military-level mind control embedded into their respective initiatives. As CNN has noted, Meta makes you a real-life Tony Stark. That doesnt appear to be hyperbole; there is actually an app in development called The Iron Man Project. The Iron Man reference just as easily could be a Minority Report reference when the full functionality is examined. A world is quickly arriving where the data stream of the Internet and its connected devices has entered real-world practical experience. For example, there appears to be no direct interaction with the glasses themselves; the Meta Pro glasses integrate all of a users devices as a holographic representative projection in front of you any time you activate. You literally see your physical phone and laptop screen in front of you. All applications are there as well, and are updated from any use in the holographic realm. The company also plans 500+ new applications that form an entirely new computational universe. A look at The 15 Best App Ideas include: Others include 3D printing, love augmentation for the bar scene, and a host of ways to enhance your driving experience. Lest this sounds like Im endorsing a slick new product, Im definitely not. Rather, this list is indicative of the feel-good phase of convenience, safety and video games that we see anytime new tech rolls out. Its the very same pitch that one can read about with thenew Wi-Fi technologythat can see people through walls. Rather, it highlights the technology that has been available in the military realm for likely quite some time, giving us a hint at where the true intentions lie. This is only what fell off the table in the scrap heap of consumerism. Furthermore, as Ive stated many times, every element of our high tech society is proving to be a gateway toward enhancing the surveillance-military complex that is now the foundation of the U.S. and possibly the world economy. Until we use technology within a framework of respect for our inherent rights, we are likely only to get the NSA scandal on steroids if leaps like this one are realized. Its bad enough that devices not even connected to our bodies can track, trace and database us. What can we expect to happen when we are wearing these devices? Or, as neuroscientists and transhumanists would love to see these devices embedded into our brains to create natural machines. Here is a YouTube that demonstrates the virtual battle that is commencing between the Meta Pro and Google Glass systems. And here is an additional look at some of the apps as they are pre-enacted: Recently from Nicholas West: 
2	You Can No Longer Walk Your Dog In Official Islamic Areas According to recent reports, you may lose your ability to walk your dog in certain areas, out of respect for Muslim culture. This time, it doesnt even have anything to do with religion. The new rule simply stems from a dislike of mans best friend. Recently, a sign was found in Barlett Park in East London. The park used to be a family-friend place, but has now transformed into a dangerous area for anyone who is not Muslim. Do not walk your dogs here! The sign reads. Muslims do not like dogs. This is an Islamic area now. Reportedly, the sign was put up just after a group of radical Muslims began attempting to enforce Sharia law in their neighborhoods. The recent actions have made the community fearful for their safety and what could happen to their neighborhood. What do you think of the sign? 
3	Mothers Blood Pressure Could Affect Babys IQ, Study SaysElizabeth Renter Finnish scientists found 398 men who had taken the nationally-required test for the Finnish Defense Forces, at age 20 and again at age 69. They examined their scores in visuospatial reasoning, arithmetic, and verbal areas and tied these results to information about their mothers blood pressure during pregnancy. As reported by CNN, the men whose moms had a hypertensive disorder (like preeclampsia) during pregnancy scored lower on arithmetic and total cognitive ability than those who did not. The most notable result-differences were found in mathwhere the men averaged 4.36 points lower at age 69 and 2.88 points lower at age 20. Its estimated that about 10 percent of women suffer a hypertensive disorder while pregnant. For many, this means weeks of bed-rest and a high-risk pregnancy. Women who have Type 2 diabetes, chronic hypertension, a multiple-birth pregnancy, or using IVF are more at risk for such a condition. The answer, as with so many other health conditions, lies in prevention. You can work to prevent high blood pressure while pregnant by consuming adequate whole grains and produce. Studies have shown a reduced risk of preeclampsia in women who consume more fiber. Also, avoiding alcohol and caffeine (which you should already be doing while pregnant), can reduce your risk. Drink plenty of water and get regular exercise throughout your pregnancy to keep your blood pressure down. Finally, sleeping on your left side while pregnant can ensure better blood flow during nighttime hours. And while prevention is the best way, a number of home remedies for high blood pressure do exist. Aloe Vera, vitamin D, apple cider vinegar, yogurt, and hibiscus tea have all been shown to help lower blood pressure. Coconut water has also been shown to lower the blood pressure of 71% of study participants. In addition to utilizing all of these foods to lower blood pressure, avoiding foods with fructose can also help to maintain healthy levels. Your childs health and their intelligence depend on you when you are carrying them. While people used to think a womans diet and health was only important while the child was in utero, this and other studies prove otherwise. The health choices you make while pregnant and even before becoming pregnant can affect your child well into their adult years.

2	All Welfare Recipients Just Got Some VERY Bad News Governor Paul LePage of Maine has received both praise and criticism for his actions toward welfare reform. Initially, Democrats deemed his actions a war on the poor, but it appears that they may be starting to see the light. Reports from NPBN News indicate that Democratic officials are now being forced to cooperate with welfare cuts given that Republicans hold the majority in the House and Senate. In fact, several Democrats have actually signed on to welfare reform bills designed to limit fraud. A poll taken in Maine in October of 2014 also indicated that more than half of residents supported welfare cuts, meaning that they had the support of Democrats as well. I think things have changed in the last two years, Republican Senator Roger Katz told reporters. I think the voters have spoken loud and clear. Welfare reformthats sensible welfare reformis a priority out there. And I think the Republicans knew it two years ago, and I think the Democrats have realized it now. It is believed that Katzs recent bill is more likely to pass than the welfare reform bills that have come before it, primarily because it has minimal restrictions and greater Democratic support.

The Sun just reported the Nesson admitted that Islamic prayer got into his spirit while he was on a trip to Istanbul filming the trailer for Tak3n. The call to prayer happens five times a day, and for the first week, it drives you crazy. And then it just gets into your spirit, and its the most beautiful, beautiful thing, claims the actor, who is reportedly considering converting to Islam. There are 4,000 mosques in the city. Some are just stunning and it really makes me think about becoming a Muslim, Neeson concludes. What do you think about the actors desires to leave his Roman Catholic faith behind? 
2	Pro Kickboxer Forms Militia To Fight Violent Refugees In Germany According to recent reports, a kickboxing champion named the hero of Cologne has decided to take the defense of women in Germany into his own hands. Recently, he described fighting off a gang of drunk, lecherous Arabs who were terrifying two young women on New Years Eve. There were four of them, young men in their 20s, speaking Arabic, Ivan Jurcevic told reporters, claiming that the attackers were surrounding their young victims and groping them. They told me not to interfere, that the girls were theirs. The girls looked like they worked in a bank, they were wearing jeans and coats, nothing provocative, they were really frightened, he continued. I told them to stand behind meThen the loudest member of the gang came at me with a bottle so I kicked him in the chest and sent him flying. Another came at me so I slapped him across the face and he went over as well, Jurcevic elaborated. The leader drew his finger across his throat and told me he would be back to kill me. I stood my ground and they went on their way. Now, Jurcevic has announced that he intends to organize a militia of former veterans and athletes to help protect the streets of Germany. 
2	What Michelle Obama Was Just Caught Doing On Camera Will Make You SICK Michelle Obama once again made a ridiculous push for her food agenda on Friday when she announced changes to food labels that will require companies to show added sugar. It will also change serving sizes to reflect how much Americans really consume. In a statement, the White House and the Food and Drug Administration claimed the changes will become required two years from now, when they will revise the fine print on food labels to add vitamin D and potassium, nutrients Americans often do not get enough of. I am thrilled that the FDA has finalized a new and improved Nutrition Facts label that will be on food products nationwide, Michelle commented. This is going to make a real difference in providing families across the country the information they need to make healthy choices. Food producers like Campbell Soup Co., Roman Meal Co., and the cranberry industry objected to requiring added sugar on food labels. Of course, their concerns mean very little to the FDA. In fact, the changes are set to affect 800,000 products. Were sure Michelle is ecstatic about the power. What do you think? Are you more than ready to say goodbye to the Obamas once and for all. 
2	BREAKING: WikiLeaks Just Hand Delivered The Worst News Of His Entire Term... He Thought He Could Get Away Hillary Clinton may have been able to escape indictment, but her problems are far from over. Trey Gowdy has refused to back down in his investigation, and WikiLeaks has been working hard to release the truth to the American public. This month, WikiLeaks released its first batch of emails from John Podestas hacked account. The correspondence involves conversations between Mr. Podesta, a long-term associate of the Clintons, and President Barack Obama. Podesta is of particular interest because he served as former President Bill Clintons Chief of Staff from 1998 to 2001. He has some serious insight into who the Clintons really are. Podesta is also the owner of the Podesta Group, a major lobbying firm. He also serves as the Chair of the Center for American Progress (CAP) in Washington DC. Heres a sneak peek of the correspondence that was just made public: Truth Exposed (@QuakeDawg) October 20, 2016 
3	Thailand: Another Protester Killed as Regime Thugs Do Drive-By at Rally SiteSame violence seen used by Thaksin Shinawatra in 2010, now unfolding again. At approximately 3 a.m. Saturday morning, regime gunmen drove by the anti-regime rally site near Chamai Maruchet Bridge and gunned down one security guard leaving several others injured. This comes one week after the regimes red shirt supporters began threatening an armed campaign of violence against protesters if the regimes sham elections were disrupted, and just after this weeks violence in Din Daeng where one policeman and one protester were killed. Open violence has been a hallmark of Thaksins dark reign over Thai politics since taking office in 2001, and is one of the main reasons protesters seek to oust him and his influence permanently from Thailands political landscape. In 2003 he conducted a so-called war on drugs that saw nearly 3,000 innocent people extrajudicially murdered in the streets. Half of those killed, according to Human Rights Watch, turned out to have nothing at all to do with the drug trade. Also, throughout his first term in office, According to Amnesty International, 18 human rights defenders were either assassinated or disappeared. The most troubling aspect of Thaksin Shinawatra and his supporters brutality and tendency toward violence is that is seen as wildly popular by his electorate who continuously return him to power despite his overt criminality, absolute illegitimacy, and dangerous abandonment of basic human rights. Violence is expected to continue to plague the current political conflict as the regime comes closer and closer to finally collapsing.

1	Bowing to pressure from PETA and other activist groups to abandon animal testing, the Revlon Corporation announced Tuesday that, effective immediately, all new products will be tested on plant life. A Revlon scientist displays a spathiphyllum which has been used to test the company's new mascaras and lipsticks. 'Before any Revlon product is placed in the hands of U.S. consumers, I can assure you that it will have been thoroughly safety-tested on a wide range of flora,' said Angelique Christopher, a spokesperson for the cosmetics giant. 'No lipstick, eyeliner, eye shadow, blush, concealer, foundation, mascara, nail polish or makeup remover will hit store shelves without first being put through a rigorous battery of on-plant tests.' Christopher concluded her remarks by pouring a bottle of Revlon Intense Therapy nail conditioner on a fern. Under the new program, the mice, rabbits, pigs and monkeys that for decades were a staple of product-testing will be replaced with poinsettias, African violets, philodendrons and cacti. 'To determine whether our new Revlon SureHold hair spray is safe for human use, we will take a rhododendron, remove it from its natural soil-based environment, and strap it into a leather restraining harness,' Revlon researcher Warren Gilbride said. 'The plant's leaves will then be scraped raw and soaked in SureHold, and the spray will be injected into its stem and poured into its flowers. The effect of this treatment on the overall health and well-being of the plant will be meticulously recorded, and the product's likely effect on humans will be extrapolated from the results.' Added Gilbride: 'A plant's stamen is remarkably similar to the human eye.' With Tuesday's announcement, Revlon joins a growing list of corporations turning to plants as an alternative to animal testing. For years, Bristol-Myers Squibb has tried out its new drugs on philodendrons. Since May 1998, Benjamin Moore has tested for toxicity in its paints by placing fume-filled gas masks over English ivys. And just last week, the Chrysler Corporation announced it would begin using geraniums in crash tests. 
3	The Illusion of Falling Official Unemployment FadesBy Clint Siegner But not all. Janet Yellen and her crew at the Fed must see through the phony statistics because they are so reluctant to tighten monetary policy. Publicly, however, they talk about job growth and the wonders their stimulus policies have worked. President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton also talk triumphantly about putting people back to work. Obama has been parading around the country talking about the fabulous economic recovery he has led. Hillary takes credit for a recovery as well, but promises she can do even better. They prefer people focus on the headline number and not ask too many questions. After all, their people at the Bureau of Labor Statistics have been hard at work seasonally adjusting, modifying the formulas, and otherwise massaging the data. They are painting such a lovely picture for voters to enjoy. The unemployment rate has fallen to levels not seen since before the 2008 financial crisis. Its like magic. And just about as real as when David Copperfield made the Statue of Liberty disappear. The contradiction in their data just keeps getting bigger. The phony unemployment rate and the percentage of the population with a job, which readers get by digging into the report details, BOTH keep falling. And the explanations are getting pretty outlandish. Were told people are voluntarily leaving the workforce in droves. Prosperity is so high lots of folks are retiring early, switching to part time work, or living on a single income so one parent can stay home with the kids. Riiiiight!! At least, as said, the people didnt buy Fridays headline for once. If we are going to have free markets and find solutions, Americans will have to grapple with reality. James Quinn, of the Burning Platform, does a great job of looking past the headline and pulling some interesting facts out of the employment data: That is the reality when it comes to jobs in the U.S. Keep questioning the official propaganda. Clint Siegner is a Director at Money Metals Exchange, the national precious metals company named 2015 Dealer of the Year in the United States by an independent global ratings group. A graduate of Linfield College in Oregon, Siegner puts his experience in business management along with his passion for personal liberty, limited government, and honest money into the development of Money Metals brand and reach. This includes writing extensively on the bullion markets and their intersection with policy and world affairs. I would hope this a signal to ending the great fascist corporations of the world. Folks have had it with these unholy businesses that only perpetuate the silver spoon crowd. ICELAND the BANKERS. Official statistics from the US government make the old Soviet Union statistics look like proven science they are THAT full of BS! Labor participation rate at 40 year lows 94 MILLION working age Americans are out of work. Anybody who actually *believes* that translates to a 4.7% unemployment rate in a country of 320 million is smoking WAY too much crack for their own good 
3	Syrian Military Victory to Become Western Propaganda Ploy?Brandon Turbeville The victory in Al-Nabk comes as a result of a series of special operations conducted by the Syrian military.Syrian Perspective reports that travel between Damascus and Homs without fear of being attacked by death squad members is now possible for the first time since the foreign-backed jihadists seized the area. Al-Nabk is an important strategic victory because, not only does it allow reinforcements to be sent toward outer villages like Maaloula, Yabroud (where operations are now taking place), and Saydnaaya, but it also allows for the complete interlocking of supplies and reinforcements between Damascus and Homs. Such resupply and reinforcements can then be used to free the highway from Homs to Aleppo and initiate the liberation of the largest city in Syria. Unfortunately, a disinformation campaign against the Assad government is already underway regarding the violence which took place in Al-Nabk. This campaign is being waged by pro-Jihadist elements aiming to blame all death and destruction which came as a result of fierce fighting between death squad forces and the Syrian military as the fault and intention of the Syrian Arab Army. In the English translation of the QMC video purporting to show a massacre of civilians by Assads forces, the camera pans several dead bodies of children. The narrator states, Of course, the report should also add that it is not clear whether these children were killed during the shelling or BEFORE the government forces entered al-Nabk. After all, the death squad forces have never been shy about killing the young and defenseless. In addition, claims suggesting that the dead children were the results of an Assad massacre are based on virtually nothing concrete. Instead, the claims are based on speculation at best and outright lies and fabrications at worst. Such erroneous propaganda is now being pushed as al-Nabk, the third of four strategic towns on the Damascus-Homs Highway has been retaken by the Syrian Army forces. According to Syria Direct, the only remaining holdout is Yabroud, the city where 12 captive nuns were taken from a convent in Maaloula by death squad forces. Currently, the Syrian military is preparing for an assault on Yabroud as well, possibly unveiling one of the reasons why the death squads transferred the nuns to this town, i.e. to use them as human shields against approaching Assad forces and as a possible propaganda thrust in case of defeat. Regardless of the veracity of the claims made by the Qalamoun Media Center and potentially the Western media, however, it is entirely possible that the mainstream news outlets in the West will use yet another incident such as the unfortunate civilian deaths in al-Nabk as a propaganda narrative against Assad. If this is indeed the case, we can only hope that it is as much of a failure as the last one. Recently from Brandon Turbeville: Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina. He has a Bachelors Degree from Francis Marion University and is the author of six books, Codex Alimentarius The End of Health Freedom, 7 Real Conspiracies,Five Sense Solutionsand Dispatches From a Dissident, volume 1 and volume 2, and The Road to Damascus: The Anglo-American Assault on Syria.Turbeville has published over 275 articles dealing on a wide variety of subjects including health, economics, government corruption, and civil liberties.

1	PASADENA, CANearly a year after Curiositys triumphant Mars landing, scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory announced today that the NASA rover is preparing to explore a large structure six kilometers south of the Gale Crater, which preliminary reports indicate is an enormous Martian synagogue. There appears to be a wheelchair-accessible ramp near the main sanctuary entrance by the stone replica of the 10 Commandments, so our plan is to collect samples from there, and then continue past the member services desk to the Lebowitz wing, project scientist Joy Crisp said of NASAs plans for the upcoming mission, which also include taking photos of the Jewish Community Center two kilometers southwest of the temple. If our early thermal imaging and soil samples bear out, it appears as if Martians would congregate in the JCCs steam room, stop at a nearby delicatessen for lox and bagels, and then file into the synagogue for services. Analysis of some discarded Havdalah candles could mean that not only was there life on the Red Planet, but that it was fully capable of observing the Sabbath. Crisp added that scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory were eager to analyze a theatrical playbill believed to be from the JCCs performing arts annex, which, according to the document, staged a popular production of Fiddler On The Roof starring a 12-year-old Seth Schwartz as Tevye. 
2	VIDEO: Captured ISIS Terrorists Receive Bloody Beating From Real Soldiers A video was recently released that showed the beating of a group of captured Islamic State fighters. While the video was considered to be graphic, and has since been removed, it was nothing compared to the violence and damage that the terrorist organization continues to invoke on a daily basis. The video shows the group of terrorists being kicked around by soldiers. At one point, a soldier raises his assault rifle and brings it forcefully down into one of the terrorists head. What do you think? Are incidents like this well deserved? Should they be taken down from the internet? 
2	BREAKING: New Autopsy Report Changes Everything About The Mike Brown Shooting Michael Browns county autopsy report is out. The report was reviewed by, two independent doctors from St. Louis County for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The report profoundly upholds the testimony of the shooting given by Police Officer Darren Wilson. The report stated, the first shot that Wilson fired from his gun was at close proximity and hit Browns right thumb, adding validation to Wilsons story that the two men struggled for the gun in Wilsons police vehicle. Earlier reports established that Browns blood was discovered on Wilsons firearm and uniform, as well as inside the vehicle. Also on the report, the injury on Browns thumb was found to have microscopic matter from the barrel of the officers handgun. According to the autopsy report Brown did not have his hands in the air at the time Officer Wilson shot him, could be the most important piece of evidence. Officer Wilsons additional five shots hit Brown from the front, opposing some of the witnesss allegations that Brown was running from the officer when he was shot. The positions of the injuries to Browns forehead specified that he was either falling or leaping forward when the bullet hit him. We must add, the St. Louis Countys toxicology report on Brown was positive for marijuana. An autopsy completed by federal officials has not yet been released. Although we have yet to see how protesters in Ferguson and St. Louis react to the news. They will most likely ignore the countys autopsy report. Seeing as liberals usually arent concerned with the facts, or proof of any sort, except when it supports their beliefs. Even though all the evidence coming from the grand jurys examination seems to progressively back up Wilsons account of the day of the shooting. Share this article on Facebook and Twitter to let people know the truth of what happened the day of the Ferguson shooting. 
2	Liberals Are Attacking This FOX News Host After She Posts This Extremely Controversial Photo Recently, Fox News television and radio show host Jedediah Bila made headlines after she posted a powerful image on Instagram with a message to young women around the ground. The selfie is of Bila with TV makeup on one side of her face, and no makeup on the other. Because little girls should grow up knowing that no one wakes up looking like they do on TV or in magazines, and thats ok, the caption for the photo read. This is not the first time that Fox News has spoken up about body image and appearance issues girls are facing due to media pressure. Heres what lots of girls dont know: those pretty women that we see in magazines are fake, Julia Bluhm said. They are often photoshopped, air-brushed, edited to look thinner, and appear like they have perfect skin. A girl you see in a magazine probably looks a lot different in real life. What do you think of Bilas message to young women?

2	Disrespectful Thug Smirks Proudly In Court Room, So No21-year-old thug Antoine Pettis was recently charged for sexually assaulting an 101-year-old woman, and has been sentences to 30 years behind bars. On top of that, he has another decade and a half of extended supervision. The judgment was made by Milwaukee County Judge Jeffrey Wagner, after Pettis pleaded guilty to charges of burglary, aggravated battery, and second degree assault. Pettis claims that when he broke into the home, his only intention was to rob it. That changed when he found the old woman asleep in bed. Although he fled the scene, DNA evidence led authorities back to him. Fortunately, his DNA was already on filed from a 2013 paternity case. Pettis appeared apologetic in court, but were happy he wont be seeing the light of day for a while. What do you think? Did Pettis get what he deserved? 
1	Following numerous unofficial reports that former Los Angeles Lakers forward and current free agent Lamar Odom has gone missing, a representative for the basketball player sought to quash the speculation surrounding his client and his whereabouts Tuesday, assuring reporters that Odom is safe and sound in a local crack house. There have been a lot of rumors flying around about Lamar lately, so I just want to make it perfectly clear that he hasnt gone missing; he just hasnt been seen recently because hes smoking crack in a crack house, said Odoms agent Jeff Schwartz, clarifying that the two-time NBA champion has, since his supposed disappearance, been spending time in a burned-out apartment building in Los Angeles Inglewood neighborhood, which Schwartz described as Lamars favorite crack house. While I know a lot of people have expressed concern that Lamar hasnt been heard from in a few days, I want to emphasize that theres absolutely no cause for alarm here. Like I said, hes just in a crack house, smoking crack with a bunch of other people who are also smoking crack. He does this all the time. Schwartz added that the reason his client is smoking crack is because hes addicted to crack. 
2	Controversy After Malia Obama Is Appointed This Job Malia Obama spent last summer working as production assistant on the set of Halle Berrys television series Extant. According to The Wrap, Obama is doing typical production tasks. She helped with computer shop alignments and the director also let her slate a take, the source said. Another source told TMZ that the first daughter did not get any special treatment while she was on board. Despite Secret Service protection, Malia was reportedly given normal tasks. President Obama has told the public that his daughter is interested in film-making. Shes also declared herself a fan of Girls, the scandalous HBO series. What do you think of the summer job? Does it sound like a normal job given to a 16 year old? 
3	7 Powerful Ways to Maintain Your Privacy and Integrity OnlineBy Eliot Estep Always remember, you are being recorded and monitored regardless of whether you have done anything wrong or not. This includes your emails, Internet activity, searches, banking activity, passwords, etc. Basically everything to build a complete profile about who you are, how you think, how you live, etc. This is very powerful data gathering and the goal of the intelligence agencies is nothing less thanTotal Information Awareness to be used to control and manage populations. For these reasons, I have compiled some helpful tips to help you maintain your privacy and integrity when using the Internet. These are by no means comprehensive, but they can be quite useful and give you some semblance of peace when browsing. Known as the worlds most private search engine, StartPage will allow you to search anonymously and securely through Google. It is probably the only search engine that does not collect or share any personal information about you. You can even access pages through a proxy quickly and easily. StartPage functionality can be easily added to your browser for all searches made through the address bar. If you value your privacy, this is really a no-brainer. If you use Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. then everything you search is logged to your IP address and is used to build a comprehensive profile about all your online activity. This means that the government literally has the ability to know everything youve been interested in, how you type (thus, how you think), and much more. Protect your searches! Tor prevents anyone from learning your location, browsing habits, and is an extremely effective tool against network surveillance and traffic analysis. Tor is essentially a network of virtual tunnels run by volunteers that allows your real IP address to remain hidden and undetectable when browsing the Internet. It is used by whistleblowers, hackers, and all those who value anonymity. You can also use it to access sites that your ISP has blocked or banned. Keep in mind, if you use Tor to access personally-identifying sites like Facebook then you pretty much lose your ability to remain anonymous. Learn more about this powerful software and please use it responsibly! To get started quickly, please download the Tor Browser Bundle. Using this software wisely and effectively will likely require changing your browsing habits, so be aware of this. This is a private social network that uses encrypted communication and offers the ability to remain anonymous. If you are truly looking for ways to stay in touch with close ones in a uncompromised manner, this could be the site for you. While it will not have the userbase of Facebook, this is still an excellent alternative for secure social networking. Protecting your inbound and outbound network traffic is essential. There are many free software options available for this. I cannot guarantee the integrity of these programs, but I personally recommend Little Snitch for Mac users. It appears that Outpost may be a good alternative for Windows. The key is to be able to see what services/sites are trying to send/receive data over your connection. The more stringent your firewall rules are, the better. Keep your computer clean by using some kind of anti-spam/spyware software and minimize your use of highly sketchy sites. Almost every time you visit a site, you download a cookie from that site, which is often used to track and collect data about you, the sites you visit, etc. Therefore, deleting cookies and temporary Internet files from your browser frequently is necessary. I recommendCCleaner as an effective way to do this. Most people leave a Facebook tab open and continue browsing, not realizing that every page that has a Like button actively logs and tracks their online activity. Facebook collects all your browsing data and then sells it to third parties, including passing it onto intelligence agencies. Therefore, when you are not actively using Facebook, be sure to log out! Why should they know everything youre up to online? Did you know that your webcam can be secretly activated without you being aware of it? Hackers and intelligence agencies have the ability to do this, so effective countermeasures must be taken here. This can be done WITHOUT the indicator light coming on, so you wont even know that you are being watched or recorded. This is why I recommend taping over or covering up your webcam when youre not using it. Why take the risk? Do you really want the government to have the ability to spy on you while you are in your bedroom? The same thing can be done on cellphone cameras/microphones, so be aware of that too. The only way your phone cannot be used to track/record you is if the battery is taken out, which is another reason why many new smartphones come with non-removable batteries these days. Communicating using email is vital and part of our everyday lives. If we use services like Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo, those services are not secure and are compromised. Therefore, switching over to a secure service such as Hushmail can be valuable. Or learn how to use Pretty Good Privacy (PGP), which is a way to send encrypted email and files that only a trusted third party can open and view. Essentially, PGP uses public-private key cryptography, where you will give out your public key to trusted recipients. Messages can only be decrypted by using your special private key file (that you keep safe) and the senders public key. You can even encrypt files so that only a specific person can open them. Learning to use PGP requires some technical knowledge but can be very useful for those who want to communicate securely and is well worth learning, in my opinion. Please see this tutorial or this video to get started. There are some excellent YouTube videos that can really help out with this. *************************** Be smart about how you communicate online. If you take no precautionary measures, then you should assume that your communications are being recorded and monitored at all times. Do not discuss illegal or secret activities on Facebook or through Skype or Gmail. Ultimately, we should be greatly decreasing our use of these compromised services altogether!

1	Saying that his designs felt oddly familiar as he was drafting them, urban planner William Reston confirmed Monday that while envisioning a revitalized downtown for Des Moines, IA, he had absentmindedly laid out the preexisting city of Philadelphia. I was just thinking about putting the citys main art museum and premier university on opposite banks of the river when all of a sudden it hit me: This is Philly! Reston said after his project-stalling blunder, during which he gave Des Moines a sports complex with three major venues, 24 square blocks of colonial-era architecture, and a centrally located City Hall topped by a statue of a prominent regional historic figure. Honestly, I really should have spotted it when I changed Western Gateway Parks name to JFK Plaza and added Robert Indianas LOVE sculpture, but for whatever reason it just made sense at the time. Reston then made an effort to hide his error by mixing some obscure Seattle neighborhoods into his layout.

3	Do The American People Still Care About 9/11 Truth?By Derrick Broze On Friday July 15, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI)published thenewly declassified 28 pages of the 2002 Joint Congressional Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001. The 28 pages were classified by former President George W. Bush shortly after the report was released in 2002. Thelong-classifiedpages make up the bulk of a section titled Part 4: Finding, Discussion and Narrative Regarding Certain Sensitive National Security Matters. Former Senator Bob Graham, a previous chair for the House Intelligence Committee who has been extensively involved in the fight to release the pages, told CNN that he was very pleased by the announcement. It is going to increase the questioning of the Saudis role supporting the hijackers, Graham told CNN. I think of this almost as the 28 pages are sort of the cork in the wine bottle. And once its out, hopefully the rest of the wine itself will start to pour out. The report states: While in the United States, some of the September 11 hijackers were in contact with, and received support or assistance from, individuals who may be connected to the Saudi Government. There is information, primarily from FBI sources, that at least two of those individuals were alleged by some to be Saudi intelligence officers. The report also reveals that the suspected Saudi intelligence officers worked for companies that had ties to both the Saudi government, and Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, Tony Cartalucci recently reported. It is very clear that Saudi Arabia played a role in the 9/11 attacks, as well as in terrorism of all kinds around the world before and after the attacks. Cartalucci continues, Those who spirited Saudi agents and officials out of the country, protecting them from further investigation regarding their role in 9/11, are likely linked to those Americans who helped their Saudi counterparts organize and carry out the attacks. In spite ofthe clear connection between officials connected to the Saudi government and the alleged hijackers, the Saudi government and kingdom declared the release of the 28 pages a victory, claiming that it vindicates their nation. Now we know for sure that the conspiracy theorists were wrong: There is no smoking gun in the 28 pages. All they contain is a list of questions and possible leads for exploration in later investigations,Abdullah Al-Saud, the Saudi ambassador to the United States, wrote in an op-ed for the L.A. Times. Unfortunately, if unsurprisingly, the conspiracy theorists are still not satisfied. They point out that portions of the 28 pages remain classified and insist that the American government must be hiding something nefarious from the people. (For more information on the 9/11 Truth movement please see this mini-documentary from The Conscious Resistance Network) Indeed, Al-Saud is correct, many Americans and researchers of the 9/11 attacks are not prepared to concede just yet. Despite what the Saudi government claims, the documents showclear ties to Saudi Arabia. Still, many in the 9/11 Truth movement are cautious of the 28 pages, with some calling the whole fiasco a psychological operation being conducted on the American people. What is the purpose of the PsyOp? The idea would be that the powers that wish they were allow a controlledrelease of the low hanging fruit (28 pages) and focus attention on Saudi Arabia rather than possible connections to the U.S. government, Pakistan, or Israel. This allows the public (and some 9/11 researchers) to feel like there has been a victory and now we can all go back to normal life. Also, this keeps the conversation on the 28 pages and not on the other anomalies which occurred on September 11, 2001. There is also the fact that it has been public record for many years that the majority of the alleged hijackers had ties to Saudi Arabia. The fact that these pages would be released at all should be celebrated, but it should not cause the 9/11 Truth Movement to rest for a single moment. With the 15th anniversary approaching in less than 2 months this a grand opportunity to have conversations about the many, many questions surrounding the attacks. After all, even ifthe Saudis were involved, it does not explain how the buildings could fall at near free-fall speed or how or why World Trade Center 7 fell despite not being hit by a plane. Regardless of whether or not you believe the 28 pages are the end of the 9/11 Truth search or just another distraction, the American people are tired of being lied to by their government. There is a growing discontent in the nation right now and many of the crimes perpetuated by the government against the people have been allowed in the name of keeping people safe from terror attacks. Simply put, exposing 9/11 destroys the whole Police and Surveillance State. For 15 years architects, engineers, actors, scientists, pilots, firefighters, activists, and family members of the victims have raised a wide range of questions related to the funding of the attacks, the physics of the buildings collapse, the possibility of controlled demolition or other exotic weapon used to bring the buildings down, and much, much more. For the 15th anniversary, the collective 9/11 Truth movement will descend on New York City to protest and rally in the streets. If you have questions about 9/11 please come to New York City or organize in your city. selfnewss with We Are Change NYCwill rally at Ground Zero and other important sites throughout the city on Saturday September 10 and Sunday September 11. (15 Years of Fighting for 9/11 Truth) There will also be a weekend symposiumhosted by Architects Engineers for 9/11 Truth, the Lawyers Committee for 9/11 Inquiry, and other co-sponsors. The conference will feature keynote addresses from respected legal figures, as well as panel discussions on the role of the Deep State and the significance of the recently declassified 28 Pages, presentations by movement leaders and researchers, and day-long evidentiary hearings on the World Trade Centers destruction, which will be conducted by a panel of lawyers. (FB Event) Speakers and panel discussions will include: Keynote speaker: Renowned public interest attorney Daniel Sheehan, who litigated cases related to the Pentagon Papers and the Iran/Contra Affair; Keynote speaker: Judge Ferdinando Imposimato, the Honorary President of the Supreme Court of Italy; A team of accomplished lawyers who will hear evidence related to the World Trade Centers destruction and consider future legal strategies for obtaining 9/11 Justice; Richard Gage, AIA, who will discuss the current activities of AE911Truth, and Dr. J. Leroy Hulsey, who will present the findings-to-date of the WTC 7 computer modeling study, which he is conducting at the University of Alaska Fairbanks; Roundtable discussions featuring Wayne Madsen, J. Michael Springmann, and other prominent experts; The launch of 9/11 Truth Action Project (9/11 TAP) by founding members of this new international organization; and, Masters of Ceremonies Mark Crispin Miller, a professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at NYU (Saturday), and renowned International Human Rights attorney William Pepper (Sunday).

Most never did and for those of us who did care; its too late for the truth. At this point the truth about the US Governments involvement in the attacks would do a great deal more harm then good. The UN would simply use our governments criminal insanity as an excuse to expedite their globalist agenda and strip us of our sovereignty effectively wiping the notion of liberty off of the face of the Earth. We had a window there, before the official story was cemented into the collective consciousness, where we may have figured it out and maybe even taken back our country but the American people, lacking in both balls and intellect, refused to act when action was required. It will forever be a side-show cold case like JFK. All we can do now is work as hard as we possibly can to keep Hillary Clinton out of the white house else well end up disarmed and totally FCKD. I think most Americans did not want to know the truth right from the start. To confront what really happened and who was really responsible was just too much to take for the great majority. What is most obvious to one and all is that the official story is most certainly not the truth but we are completely powerless when it comes to finding out the truth and anyway what would the next step be ? A complete break down of society ? Interesting that both the first commenters here are saying theres no point in knowing the truth, in their own different ways. I humbly suggest that finding out the truth about any situation like 9/11 would be so unprecedented in US history that there is no way to predict how it could end. Violent revolution? Federal reform? Mass lawsuit? Or just a very slow and subtle disintegration of a global power that isnt really doing anyone much good, least of all its own people? To suggest that apathy or chaotic social breakdown are the only two reactions that could occur, is to cherrypick two of the mass medias favourite obsessions out of a near-endless list of things that could happen if the truth came out. I think the vast majority of people would be willing to take a gamble and let the chips fall where they may. If nothing else, it would be kind of refreshing to hear a politician telling the truth for a change!! The headline itself is problematic: asking if a condition still exists implies that is ever did. My my optimism puts me in league with you. There is no Rule of Law for the slime that carried this out. They are international and unlimited resources. You would have made a good National Socialist back in the day. Im disgusted with the responses from William beeby and Matthew. Matthews hypocrisy states others lacked both balls to act at a certain time but now is useless. We shouldnt do anything now so just work hard to keep the next criminal out of power. This is the real cancer people must resist. The herd mentality, that censors itself. The defeatist and apologists that give you the cowards way out. After all this relieves you of any responsibility of being a healthy and engaged citizen. They are just vouyers of their own lives. Doing nothing but watching. Making excuses why they cant act. These are the conditioned people who stand around recording an event instead of jumping in and actually helping someone in need. They are divided and will just watch as others act. nice comment, have you read Society Of The Spectacle by Guy Debord Although I share your basic sentiment, I dont quite as deeply denounce the discouragement of contemporary observers belief that the truth will never be acknowledged; nor do I share their long-term pessimism. More people get it as the government continues with their absurd corruption like false flags and rigging elections as people wake up they start rethinking and questioning everything. The puppet masters are getting sloppy with impatience and Delusions of Grandeur, they will do themselves in. Imagine a 9/11 truther warning people away from the herd mentality. You really cant make up stuff that stupid. It is going to increase the questioning of the Saudis role supporting the hijackers, Graham told CNN. Since there were no hijackers this is all part of the deception ! Or does this look real to you ? Your graphic would be amusing if it werent one of the many tragic absurdities presented as part the official conspiracy theory, so deeply rooted in the 9/11 mythology used to excuse so much injustice and suffering here and abroad. Your graphic is exactly the same that happened with the twin towers except the hole is already there and proves the point that commercial planes cant fly through buildings without leaving a trail of plane debris behind. Also 110 story buildings are not designed to fall on their footprint in less than 15 seconds from fires. The same goes for 46 storey buildings too. No buildings fell from fires. Your bald faced,cultling misrepresentation omits the facts that three towers were smashed into by fuel laden jumbo jets going over 400 MPH and by huge beams and other heavy debris. How hard is it to actually get the story straight before weighing in? Your no-plane shenanigans impresses nobody but the deranged. Tell me again how 2 110 storey buildings can fall against the most resistant part of a building that is vertically in less than 15 seconds and also a third building, Trade Centre Building 7 did fall in its footprint in a spell bounding less than 10 seconds, that is nearly free falling speed like as if you jumped of the top of that same building you would beat it by a few seconds? Youre inhaling way too much propaganda. Andy I dont know what medication you are on but the official NIST report states that once collapse initiated, WTC 1 and WTC 2 fell in approximately 11 seconds and 9 seconds respectively, each coming down in essentially in free fall. WTC 7 collapse by NISTs Dr. Sunder states that it fell in 5.4 seconds. Andrew,a fan of medicated goo: #7 took about 20 seconds to finally fall and was actually in the process of weakening for many hours after having been set on fire and compromised by beams and debris from Tower 1s collapse,which gouged a 12 story high hole in its south face.The face NEVER shown by the cult you get your info from. I guess youd like to forget its internal collapse,the penthouses folding down before the outer shell coming down quickly at the end in the 7 or 8 seconds that you worship. What you need to do is read the oral testimonies of the FDNY.I linked an article (wtc7lies) in an earlier comment that demolishes your rubbish and is heavily sourced with what the only men that matter said as they witnessed the entire thing up close and personal. Youre working with tainted information,lies actually,and youre the one who needs to go back to school. Sunder never said any such thing,How sad that you would lie so blatantly,this is the world wide web and people are reading and watching. Apparently the structure of 7 was unusual having been built over a Con Ed sub station,hence a short period of free fall as it collapsed globally.Means nothing.The FDNY knew it would collapse for hours as a bulge had developed,it was creaking and groaning and they had no way to address the fires which were spreading all through the tower. A perimeter was created and everyone was pulled away from the inevitable collapse. Im sure you havent fallen for the Larry said pull it' malarkey,right? If you have,well,then heres your chance to get out of the rut youre in and rubbish that nonsense once and for all. You dont have to be a scientist to understand that steel columns do no give way just because they got a bit hot. But I am sure you can tell me why on WTC 7 there was not 46 concrete floors stacked one on top of the other just like a pack of cards. What happened to all the concrete floors and why did it all turn into dust? Yuri Bezmenov clearly knew Andy when he said this about idiological subversion/ psychological warfare : Its a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into FOUR basic STAGES. The first one being DEMORALIZATION. It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of their enemy. In other words, the ideology of Marxism-Leninism is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism, american patriotism. The result? The result you can see the people who graduated in the 1960s, dropouts or half-baked intellectuals, are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, and educational systems. You are stuck with them. You cant get through to them. They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern [alluding to Pavlov]. You cannot change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior. In other words for these people the process of DEMORALIZATION is C O M P L E T E and I R R E V E R S I B L E Countering easily disprovable points with hard facts is now psychological warfare??! Honestly,all I did was inform you about some important basic facts about #7 which can be easily ascertained by checking the sources I offered. Apparently that was enough to trip your nutty philosophy wire and tumble down the riverbank right into the drink. How ironic that your predilection to being played for a useful idiot by a lying cult crushes your ability to see the easy stuff. There may be no hope for you unless you read the paper I linked and watch the video,both of which illustrate neatly that you are one gullible sap. Hint:the FDNY doesnt blow up buildings that are on fire and doesnt take orders from Zionist landlords to do such things. Best,Andy You are right and it is not just in America. When I first saw those planes disappearing into the WTC 12 which was repeated continuously I could not believe what I was seeing. How could a plane just lose itself inside a building with no damage? I wish my car could do that when I had an accident. Then my thoughts turned to how to put the fires out and the rebuilding of the damage etc. Next thing I see them imploding in themselves all the way to the ground. WOW!!! I can understand where the so called plane entered and the fires would have weakened some parts of those floors and above but how could it weaken the rest of the lower floors? They want everyone to believe this was a convetional collapse. Not only are you a dim bulb falling for all the lies about #7,youre also a nutjob who fell for the no-planes nonsense. I feel bad for you,youll never be able to suss things out at this rate. Apparently the nutty truther who wrote this story OR the censors at selfnews Post are hypersensitive,as my links keep getting erased. What rsponse do you expect ? Cute,tiger! It was a comment that was put in a moderation queue but later showed up.In between I got an e-mail from the NSA with your photo and had to spread the word. 28 additional pages, with major portions redacted is supposed to satisfy those that want the truth revealed? I think not! Waiting more than a year after 9/11 to form a commission of cronies, destroying evidence, and the many LIES that have come out since should give everyone a glimce into who was really responsible! Yes, we still want the truth. We are never going away! 99% of you already have,with your tails between your legs after having the miserable talking points debunked,destroyed and demolished one-by-one. The anniversaries are merely the time of year when the opportunists who cash in on this nonsense,like Les Jamison,Luke Rudkukski,Alex Jones and the totally suspicious lawyer,William Pepper: ooooh,Che,Martin King,Eric Hufschmid,theyre all great,rear their ugly heads to fleece the wide-eyed newbies. 9/11 truth has been dead as a doornail for many years now.Its now the Controlled Demolition Cult. So youre 9/11 denier. Are you also a Holocaust denier. Usually deniers also deny the muslim invasion of the U.S. and the fact that Obama is an illegitimate muslim Manchurian candidate. So how do you stand on those before I proclaim you as a CIA sabotaging infiltrator. Theres no denying that you just negated any possibility of ever being taken seriously,Goober. I read your other comments too. Youve just decided on a path of despair. Ever heard of lead, follow or get out of the way? Well, get out of the way! I always stay miles away from idiots like you. Yes I care more than ever. I believe more Americans than ever are connecting the dots and for many of us this journey begins with 911 truth. Really ? This photo,according to your counselor,was taken after you spent 3 days watching Loose Change 56 times in a row and were then informed that Dylan,Korey and the other buck-toothed blowhard excised 90% of it for a new version with newer more exciting speculations,disinformation and misinformation. Rumor has it that they plan to fleece the saps once again with yet another version! A little too Alex Jones but essentially a very good article pointing out the extremely bad position the military-industrial-pharmaceutical-terrorize for resources and land complex have put us and the world in,but we lost you at ae911truth.I dont even think Richard Gage believes that nonsense any more but hed be out of a job if he bailed out now. We need more than speculation and one quote from a Russian politician before we buy the number of small nukes out there.You do know they become obsolete after a while as they age,right? Its fun clobbering and educating the Controlled Demolition Cult! I could understand if this were true. 
3	Could It Happen Here? UK Parents Arrested Because Their Child Is ObeseChris Carrington A 49-year-old man and a 44-year-old woman, from Kings Lynn in Norfolk, were questioned by officers over the childs care and released on bail. Police said intervention at this level was very rare and only occurred where other attempts to protect the child had been unsuccessful. A spokeswoman added police were working with health and social services. The Sun reported the couples 11-year-old son is 5ft 1in (1.5m) and 15 stone (210 pounds), with a body mass index (BMI) of 41.8. It alleged that concerned teachers and doctors prompted intervention by social services and then police. Police and Norfolk County Council said it would not discuss the victim or the circumstances of the case. The couple was arrested in March on suspicion of child neglect and cruelty under section 1 of the Childrens Act 1933. When dealing with sensitive issues such as obesity and neglect of children, officers from the forces Child Abuse Investigation Unit work closely with partners, significantly with both health care and social services, to ensure any response to address them are proportionate and necessary, police said. Any action taken by any agency will be subject to a joint strategy and will always be taken with the welfare of the child and their protection from harm as paramount. Norfolk County Council spokeswoman said: Our priority will always be the health, well-being and safety of Norfolks children and we will always do all we can to support families to meet their childrens needs.

3	How did Barack Obama become Monsantos man in Washington?Jon Rappoport Shocked and disappointed is polite-speak and politically correct reaction. Its baloney. Dont you get it? Obama has never been on your side. He never deserved your trust. Disappointment implies he was your buddy and then unaccountably walked away. The man is a politician. Hes a liar. Different pols have different styles of lying. Some pretend theyre your friend before they screw you over and leave you in the dust. Ive previously published Obamas track record as Monsantos number-one political supporter in America. Meet Monsantos prime lobbyist, Barack Obama: After his victory in the 2008 election, Obama filled key posts with Monsanto people, in federal agencies that wield tremendous force in food issues, the USDA and the FDA: At the USDA, as the director of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, Roger Beachy, former director of the Monsanto Danforth Center. As deputy commissioner of the FDA, the new food-safety-issues czar, the infamous Michael Taylor, former vice-president for public policy for Monsanto. Taylor had been instrumental in getting approval for Monsantos genetically engineered bovine growth hormone. As the new Agriculture Trade Representative, who would push GMOs for export, Islam Siddiqui, a former Monsanto lobbyist. As the new counsel for the USDA, Ramona Romero, who had been corporate counsel for another biotech giant, DuPont. As the new head of the USAID, Rajiv Shah, who had previously worked in key positions for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a major funder of GMO agriculture research. We should also remember that Obamas secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, once worked for the Rose law firm. That firm was counsel to Monsanto. Obama nominated Elena Kagan to the US Supreme Court. Kagan, as federal solicitor general, had previously argued for Monsanto in the Monsanto v. Geertson seed case before the Supreme Court. The deck was stacked. Obama hadnt simply made honest mistakes. Obama hadnt just failed to exercise proper oversight in selecting appointees. He was staking out territory on behalf of Monsanto and other GMO corporate giants. And now let us look at what key Obama appointees have wrought for their true bosses. Lets see what GMO crops have walked through the open door of the Obama presidency. Monsanto GMO alfalfa. Monsanto GMO Bt soybean. Coming soon: Monsantos GMO sweet corn. Syngenta GMO corn for ethanol. Syngenta GMO stacked corn. Pioneer GMO soybean. Syngenta GMO Bt cotton. Bayer GMO cotton. ATryn, an anti-clotting agent from the milk of transgenic goats. A GMO papaya strain. And soon, genetically engineered salmon and apples. This is an extraordinary parade. Obama was, all along, a stealth operative on behalf of Monsanto, biotech, GMOs, and corporate control of the future of agriculture. He didnt make that many key political appointments and allow that many new GMO crops to enter the food chain through a lack of oversight. Nor is it coincidental that two of the Obamas biggest supporters, Bill Gates and George Soros, purchased 900,000 and 500,000 shares of Monsanto, respectively, in 2010. Records dont show Monsanto or other biotech giants pouring a landslide of (visible) campaign cash down on Obama, relative to other large donors. Goldman Sachs was Obamas number-one $ donor, and Goldman touts GM-crop commodity contracts, for both buys and sells; but Goldman has its fingers in every significant money pot from Nome to Tierra Del Fuego. The Obama riddle is as plain as the nose on the face of Globalism. Monsantos agenda, to monopolize the worlds food supply, is essential to the Globalist blueprint. That blueprint ultimately aims for redistribution of food to the world from a point of Central Planning As president, Obama has a sworn obligation to Globalism. His oath isnt to protect the Constitution. Are you kidding? Every recent president has had an overriding loyalty to Globalism. Obamas signing of the Monsanto Protection Act, making that corporation senior in power to the US court system, wasnt an accident. It was taken in keen awareness of his duty to his Globalist betters. You wont, of course, see this disclosed on the evening news. Here is a president who, like Bush, has no plans for a better world. Obamas notion of better is tied up in the Globalist agenda: An elite-run bureaucracy, promoting equality and justice, reduces all populations to a lowest common denominator, squashing freedom and prosperity. Obamas supporters will never learn the truth, because theyre blinded by the light, which they project on to the persona of the president. Obama is aware of the con, since he triggered it, and he leverages it. Hes all nudge-and-wink. Yes, well help you and you and you. Of course we will. He might help you if you make a declaration of dependence. Sacrifice yourself on an altar of despair and then you might earn the right to be fed. Obama, while on the campaign trail in 2008, was promising transparency in government, was claiming that every person has the right to know whats in his food (GMO labeling). But clearly, that was all cover and fluff. He was lying through his teeth and he knew it. Hed been vetted for the presidency, and he knew the job entailed joining Monsanto and the larger Globalist agenda as a front man. He hasnt changed over the past four years. Hes been a covert agent since the beginning. Imposter. Charlatan. These words fit Obama. Hes pretended, like Clinton, to care, but he doesnt. He doesnt care that GMO food is taking over the country and the world. He wants it to happen. Hes always wanted it to happen. The sitting president of the United States, Monsanto, DuPont, and Dow, among others, are prepared to do whatever is necessary to make GMO food dominate America. They intend, through Monsanto-gene drift among millions of plants in ag fields, through increased planting of GMO crops, and through introduction of still more GMO crops, to wrap up the USA in genetically engineered food. Obama is on board. Hes always been on board. He is the GMO president. If tomorrow, the Globalist Rockefellers of this world decided that all food grown in the US should be injected with Prozac, Obama would find a way to help. Stop making excuses for the man. Hes not a victim of evil forces surrounding his presidency. He signed up for this trip with eyes wide open. Sources: linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	Kicking himself for not staying all the way until the end of the fight and subsequently missing its thrilling finish, local mixed martial arts fan Marcos Acosta expressed both disappointment and regret Tuesday for leaving UFC 190s main event between Ronda Rousey and Bethe Correia after 11 seconds. The first five or six seconds were pretty boring, so I decided to just head out of the arena a bit early so I could beat the traffic, a visibly disappointed Acosta told reporters, noting that the bouts unexciting first tenth of a minute had produced little more than some jostling and light jabs, so he simply assumed that the rest of the fight would be just as uneventful. I had no idea I would end up missing such a crazy knockout right after that. God, Im such an idiot. Acosta further lamented that he was not among the lucky spectators who began leaving their seats around the 25th second, yet turned around upon hearing the crowds reaction and managed to see the fights conclusion. 
3	Shadowy Mercenary Firm, Who Employed Orlando Shooter, Behind Security at Dakota PipelineBy Claire Bernish G4S, which recently came under fire in the United States for having employed Pulse nightclub shooter Omar Mateen, is described by the Intercept as one of the worlds largest private security companies and a giant, often controversial global contracting corporation that provides mercenary forces, prison guards and security services in over 100 countries. G4S, in fact, has been accused of making money from misery by Antony Loewenstein, who authored the book Disaster Capitalism: Making a Killing out of Catastrophe. In an email, G4S Communications Director Monica Lewman-Garcia told TeleSUR, G4S Secure Solutions is providing fewer than 10 security officers, assigned to remote sites, providing limited short-term unarmed patrol services. However, although Lewman-Garcia stated unarmed patrol services, a curious job listing posted to GlassDoor and LinkedIn for G4S Secure Solutions in Mandan, North Dakota quite near the Standing Rock Sioux water protection camps explicitly seeks an Armed Custom Protection Security Officer. Further, while the position advertised in LinkedIn appears to have been filled, the GlassDoor listing has not disappeared and was posted just over a month ago potentially suggesting G4S requires additional armed guards to control ongoing tensions in the area. On Saturday, private security mercenaries pepper-sprayed, Maced, and unleashed vicious attack dogs against activists and Native American water protectors after construction crews deliberately desecrated a two-mile stretch of land containing a number of sites sacred to the Standing Rock Sioux. Six people were mauled by dogs including a pregnant woman and young girl, according to people on scene and at least 30 people were gassed by Mace and pepper spray. In court documents filed less than 24 hours before crews razed the sacred land, the tribes former longtime historic preservation officer, Tim Mentz who finally surveyed the land for the first time recently when a private landowner granted access specifically pinpointed each area of interest to the Standing Rock Sioux. Mentz and other tribal leaders suggested those documents were used by Energy Transfer Partners crews to bring malicious and intentional retributive action against the over 100 Native American nations and their supporters occupying the land in an attempt to halt pipeline construction. I do not believe the timing of this construction was an accident or coincidence, Mentz wrote in a court filing seeking an emergency temporary restraining order against further construction activity on Sunday. It appears that DAPL drove the bulldozers approximately 20 miles of uncleared right of way to access the precise area that we surveyed and described in my declaration to the court. Infuriated over the almost certain deliberate decimation of those sites, water protectors and activists attempted to block the path of construction crews which led to the violent clash. Lewman-Garcia claimed in the email G4S officers were not present and not involved at the location where the incident occurred.But considering discrepancies between her statement and the job listing for armed personnel, however, the veracity of that claim must be called into question particularly considering the firms reputation for brutality and lack of ethics. In addition to the possibly-armed G4S security mercenaries, protesters and water protectors have had to contend with armed state and federal authorities, who have set up militarized checkpoints near their camps following Augusts emergency declaration and state of emergency implemented by Gov. Jack Dalrymple. Tensions between Dakota Access Pipeline interests and opposition activists whose camps have swelled in number amid controversy have reached a fever pitch recently as the Standing Rock Sioux and Cheyenne River Sioux await federal Judge James E. Boasbergs Friday decision on the legality of construction. On Tuesday, Boasberg granted a temporary restraining order that did little to address the two tribes recent complaints as the recently-mapped area in question was not covered in the ruling. Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Chairman David Archambault II told Prairie Public Broadcasting he is disappointed with the order because I know more of our sacred sites are going to be destroyed. Im okay with the fact that we know theres not going to be any construction near the camp on the east side of Highway 1806. Im not happy with the ruling, however, because theres a lot of land being destroyed. Stephanie Tsosie, attorney for EarthJustice, who together with Jan Hasselman, represents the Standing Rock Sioux in its lawsuit, echoed that chagrin in an interview with Democracy Now!: It is important to remember that this land is an area that these tribes have inhabited for time immemorial, and there are sacred sites around the entire area. What this means is that construction can continue, and it can continue to desecrate these areas west of Highway 1806. And the tribe does not get an opportunity to go out and survey these areas for cultural sites. Besides the callous destruction of sacred sites, most pertinent to Native Americans and other residents is the intended installation of a section of pipe beneath the Missouri River, which provides drinking water to no less than 18 million people. Because Big Oils pipelines are notorious for spills, leaks, and other issues, Native Americans taking a stand against the Dakota Access Pipeline prefer to be called water protectors instead of protesters, since halting construction would protect precious water. Water is what were made of, Drucilla Burns, a Fort Mojave Indian Tribe elder who traveled from California to North Dakota to join the thousands of others taking a stand against Big Oils incursion, told the Washington Post. Were supposed to be the protectors of the land and water. My God, they took everything away from us. And now they want to take our water too? In that vein, water protectors at Sacred Stone, Red Warrior, and other camps have remained peaceful unless as in Saturdays incident security or law enforcement act aggressively and without justification. Both sides have accused one another of acting illegally, with Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier accusing the water protectors of pointing lasers at circling aircraft and attacking security forces though neither claim has yet been substantiated. Due to the previous dearth in coverage by corporate media, online activists, water protectors, and independent media outlets have begun investigating the people and corporations backing the pipeline with rather telling results. Research outlet LittleSis found more than two dozen Big Banks and financial institutions among them, Bank of America, HSBC, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, TD Securities, and Citibank (which runs the books for the project) are funding the Dakota Access Pipeline with a $3.75 billion line of credit. Alarmingly, Energy Transfer Partners CEO Kelcy Warren, whose oil interest company sits at the heart of contention, was appointed to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Commission last year in an almost certain conflict of interest between conservation and Big Oil. When officials refused to identify the security firm responsible for Saturdays attack, a number of people employed image and records searches based on photographs and video taken at the incident to investigate for themselves. Democracy Now!s Amy Goodman, who witnessed the violent crackdown, interviewed Jonni Joyce, an expert in law enforcement canine handling with more than 25 years of experience. According to Joyce, the indiscriminate and brutal actions by the dogs on Saturday showed a lack of sufficient training of both the animals and their handlers. What I witnessed on the video was absolutely horrific and a chaotic scene, Joyce told Goodman. It appeared that the handlers were not trained properly in order to manage a dog that has been trained in some type of controlled aggression. And basically, what it looked like was a bunch of alligators at the end of leashes being put on Native Americans that were there protesting. It absolutely was an egregious use of canines. One handler, in particular, tentatively identified as Ohioan Ashley Nicole Welsh, has drawn massive public outrage after video showed her dog dripping blood from its nose and mouth. Joyce noted serious issues in the way this female handler pushed her dog into the crowd. And you can see on the video that the dog had enough sense not to go in the crowd. The dog actually backed up. And then she corrected the dog and pulled the dog into the crowd. And this is especially concerning, in reference to this application of the use of force, and it certainly provides evidence that these people were improperly trained. Online, as Goodman pointed out, Ohio-based Frost Kennels and owner Bob Frost have taken credit for the vicious animals used against water protectors a claim somewhat substantiated by Ohio license plates on security vehicles at the scene of the incident. Fortunately, though state officials have not taken action against security personnel over the attack, the fact the company was based in Ohio may indeed provide a reprieve. Joyce continued: I do not know Bob Frost, and I do not know Frost Kennels. I do know that he has taken credit for this. This is of particular concern, because in the state of Ohio, guard dog services are covered and regulated through the Ohio Department of Public Safety. And in order to provide guard dog services and furnish guard dog services, you have to be licensed through the state of Ohio. At this time, searching their public database, the name Frost Kennels, the name Bob Frost, and then the name of another handler that we believe was involved out there, does not come up as being licensed through the state of Ohio. So, therefore, Im making a complaint with the state of Ohio for them to determine whether or not Frost Kennels has the proper licensing in order to provide guard dog services. Past complaints against Frost Kennels included the sale of a dog with serious health issues that had additionally not received vaccinations, as reported to the Better Business Bureau of which the company is not accredited. Another claimed Frost Kennels kept its animals in a garage in crates with wood chips for flooring, among other issues. Bob Frost disputed both claims, and the former has since been resolved. As water protectors and their supporters and advocates, as well as those generally opposed to the Dakota Access Pipeline, await the judges expected ruling tomorrow, details continue to emerge which appear to show the lengths Big Oil will go in the name of profiteering. Calling it an act of terrorism, Saturdays attack and ruination of sacred sites seemed to substantiate for many about interests backing the pipeline, as Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Chairman Harold C. Frazier put it, They do not know the meaning of humanity. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. How about the protesters bring dogs of their own? Guns for hire are not known to be ethical or honorable. They dont care about the particulars, just the money their paid. Where is Geronimo when they need him. There was no pulse nightclub shooting. You know that silly. G4S provides security personnel to Israel at checkpoints, guards illegal settlements, and even guards in Israeli prisons. In other words, they attack indigenous Palestinians, too. So, I am not surprised by the level of brutality brought down on the water protectors. It sickens me, but Im not surprised. 
3	Yellowstone Super-Volcano is FAR Bigger Than Previously ThoughtChris Carrington The University of Utah team found that the magma chamber is some 55 miles long, and it contains up to 600 cubic kilometers of molten rock. If even a third of that volume erupted at Yellowstone we would be facing a global disaster. Prof. Bob Smith, one of the Utah team leaders said: Weve been working there for a long time, and weve always thought it would be bigger but this finding is astounding. Dr James Farrell, also with the Utah team added: We record earthquakes in and around Yellowstone, and we measure the seismic waves as they travel through the ground. The waves travel slower through hot and partially molten material with this, we can measure whats beneath. To our knowledge there has been nothing mapped of that size before. (source) Yellowstone last erupted 640,000 years ago and although the ground in the park is rising, there is no indication at this point that its ready to blow again. Earthquakes are constant within the park and currently there has been no rise in frequency or intensity, often a precursor of an impending eruption. One day Yellowstone will blow, and the global effects will be devastating. Tambora, a still active volcano in Indonesia, exploded in 1815 spewing out an estimated 160 cubic kilometers of ejecta. The eruption threw so much debris into the atmosphere that 1816 became known as the year without a summer. Crops suffered from the unseasonably cold weather and famine conditions set in. Its estimated that 80,000 people died from the effects of the Tambora eruption. Thats in addition to the 10,000 who died on the island at the time of the explosion. Yellowstone is many times larger than Tambora, and the world is far more highly populated than it was in 1816. The 90,000 deaths from the Tambora eruption would appear insignificant if Yellowstone blew. The nearest thing in size we have to compare with Yellowstone is the Mount Toba eruption some 74,000 years ago. Toba left a crater larger than the City of London in an eruption 10,000 times larger than Mount St. Helens. (source) Thick ash deposits would cover a large proportion of North America and the volcanic gases and ash thrown into the air would affect our climate for years. When Yellowstone blows, we wont just be facing one year without a summer, we will be facing many. Increasing vulcanism is being recorded around the globe. Lets hope Yellowstone doesnt follow the trend. Chris Carrington is a writer, researcher and lecturer with a background in science, technology and environmental studies.

1	A wave of concern reportedly spread through the pharmaceutical industry this week as several major drug companies reported a dip in quarterly earnings, with experts placing the blame largely on the growing trend of mothers choosing to make vaccines for their children at home. According to medical industry observers, the homemade inoculations, which are often assembled from scratch in kitchens or atop home craft tables, have become increasingly popular due to their low cost, their do-it-yourself appeal, and rising parental unease over the quality and origins of the ingredients in mass-produced immunizations. With some simple mail-order biochemical compounds and a little bit of elbow grease, mothers can now make and administer their own vaccines in the comfort of their own homes, saving themselves the expense and hassle of visiting a pediatrician, said Deloitte senior business analyst Deborah Eisenson, who noted that the trend is spreading rapidly as more mothers post recipes and images of their handcrafted vaccines to Facebook and Pinterest. In certain parts of the country, it has already become commonplace to see a continuous-flow centrifuge right there next to the microwave and the coffeemaker on the countertop. She added, More and more of todays moms want to know exactly whats going into their childrens bodies, so theyre learning how to generate antigens from a home-grown chicken embryo or bacterial culture and then inject the vaccine into their childs arm or upper thigh tissue themselves. Sources confirmed that groups of mothers across the country confer daily in online forums to swap their favorite vaccine-production methods for pertussis, diphtheria, polio, and other viruses, often suggesting adding little touches to the suspending fluidsuch as customized blends of chemical compounds and antibioticsto make the vaccine their own. In blog posts, moms reportedly share tips on ingredient-sourcing, dosages, and how to keep inactive viruses from going bad in the fridge, as well as how to make vaccinations fun by getting their kids involved in the process of making them. When interviewed, many mothers described quality time spent gathered around the kitchen table, with the whole family helping to grind recombinant proteins with mortars and pestles while a supervising adult helps purify the mixture through chromatography and ultrafiltration. Others reportedly do prep work ahead of time on Sundays so that during the week they can simply come home from work, stir in any necessary adjuvants or stabilizers, and have an inoculation ready to go. In addition, YouTube has become a popular resource for mothers, who log on by the thousands to watch step-by-step instructional videos on everything from isolating the latest influenza strains to making their oral typhoid solutions more palatable by stirring in a little apple juice. One popular video, titled Debbies Own Quick & Easy Mueller-Miller casamino acid medium, currently has more than 23 million views. I know my vaccines are better for my kid because I make them with love and care in my own kitchen, said Colorado Springs, CO mother Jen LaRochelle, adding that God only knows what drug companies are putting into their products. When that immunizing serum flows through my daughter Samanthas veins, I want to know shes getting everything she needs. Making it yourself may take a little longer, but you get the hang of it pretty quick. A little aluminum hydroxide, a little ammonium sulfate, some polysorbate 80, and boom, its done in no time. So far Ive made my own tetanus and meningitis shots, and Im working on an HPV one right now, she continued, boasting that her all-natural injectables produce just as strong an immunity as the kind you get at the doctors office. I get to grow the cultures myself using my favorite artisanal yeasts. Its great. According to sources, homespun vaccinations are only one part of a larger do-it-yourself parenting movement in which moms and dads are producing handmade pills to treat hyperactivity, assembling their own orthodontics such as braces and retainers, and cooking up batches of insulin at home for children with diabetes. Experts predict that in years to come, the trend will only grow in popularity. Enough people were complimenting my measles vaccine that I now make a couple extra vials on purpose, said Theresa Berman, a Fresno, CA mother of two, who revealed that her secret ingredient is a pinch of ginger. It may not be as flashy as MMRV ProQuad, but it has the exact same WI-38 human diploid lung fibroblasts and MRC-5 cells as the brand-name variety. Plus I print out my own cute little labels for the syringes, she added. Moms love it. 
3	Avatars and Their Behavioral Effect on RealityBy Nicholas West Just a short while ago more or less yesterday a Rise of the Robots scenario was being debated for its potential Utopian and Dystopian outcomes. Then the movie Avatarsupplanted Terminatorto reflect an entirely new possibility. It didnt take very long: the Avatar has now arrived, and scientists are beginning to study the effects of how virtual reality can impact ones perception of themselves and those around them in the real world. Early conclusions are troubling. The Avatar Project has very clear milestones as documented on the 2045 website. They are as follows: A roadmap also illustrates the progression: New Scientist announced in July of last year a significant step in merging reality with virtual reality. The model avatar took the body of a four-year-old child. Its was a tentative step, as would be the case with any four-year-old, but suggested that the mind can begin to merge with any body it wishes inside the digital landscape: . Prior research by Slaters team shows that when a person acquires a body type they have never experienced, social and cultural expectations often influence how they relate to the new body. Studies are underway to take into account the two-way nature of this information/perception transfer. Concurrently, it appears that similar to ones preconceptions in the real world impacting the virtual experience, actions taken in the virtual world are being shown to impact the primary reality: Things we experience in a virtual landscape can also have profound effects on our behaviour in the real world: in a separate study by researchers at Stanford University in California, giving people superhero powers in a virtual environment made them behave in a more helpful manner in real life. The researchers say that brain imaging studies would help them to understand the reorganisation that occurs when assimilating a new body. The motivation springs from a project looking at how to embody people in child-sized robots. We thought we ought to look at the consequences of that first, says Slater. A more recent study published in the highest ranked empirical journal in psychology Psychological Science drew similar conclusions about how the virtual world can impact the real, and gives further insight into how easily a player can become programmed. This would seem to lend credence to those who assert that violent video games, for example, can lead to aberrant behavior that models the role one has assumed in the game. As the study illustrates, one does not necessarily need to identify with the character, which would rule out the argument that people with violent tendencies who play violent video games are prone to violent action later. With the added immersion of virtual reality, this potential is likely amplified. Our results indicate that just five minutes of role-play in virtual environments as either a hero or villain can easily cause people to reward or punish anonymous strangers, says lead researcher Gunwoo Yoon of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. As Yoon and co-author Patrick Vargas note, virtual environments afford people the opportunity to take on identities and experience circumstances that they otherwise cant in real life, providing a vehicle for observation, imitation, and modeling. They wondered whether these virtual experiences specifically, the experiences of taking on heroic or villainous avatars might carry over into everyday behavior. The researchers recruited 194 undergraduates to participate in two supposedly unrelated studies. The participants were randomly assigned to play as Superman (a heroic avatar), Voldemort (a villainous avatar), or a circle (a neutral avatar). They played a game for 5 minutes in which they, as their avatars, were tasked with fighting enemies. Then, in a presumably unrelated study, they participated in a blind taste test. They were asked to taste and then give either chocolate or chili sauce to a future participant. They were told to pour the chosen food item into a plastic dish and that the future participant would consume all of the food provided. The results were revealing: Participants who played as Superman poured, on average, nearly twice as much chocolate as chili sauce for the future participant. And they poured significantly more chocolate than those who played as either of the other avatars. Participants who played as Voldemort, on the other hand, poured out nearly twice as much of the spicy chili sauce than they did chocolate, and they poured significantly more chili sauce compared to the other participants. A second experiment with 125 undergraduates confirmed these findings and showed that actually playing as an avatar yielded stronger effects on subsequent behavior than just watching someone else play as the avatar. Interestingly, the degree to which participants actually identified with their avatar didnt seem to play a role: These behaviors occur despite modest, equivalent levels of self-reported identification with heroic and villainous avatars, alike, Yoon and Vargas note. People are prone to be unaware of the influence of their virtual representations on their behavioral responses. The researchers hypothesize that that arousal, the degree to which participants are keyed into the game, might be an important factor driving the behavioral effects they observed. The findings, though preliminary, may have implications for social behavior, the researchers argue: In virtual environments, people can freely choose avatars that allow them to opt into or opt out of a certain entity, group, or situation, says Yoon. Consumers and practitioners should remember that powerful imitative effects can occur when people put on virtual masks. (Source) [emphasis added] These studies are being done as Ray Kurzweils vision to merge our bodies and brains with cloud computing via DNA nanobots is coming closer to fruition. We would do well to consider the intended and unintended consequences much more closely while the divide between real and virtual still remains perceptible.

3	Signed into Law: Ohio Legalizes Medical Marijuana, Sets Foundation to Nullify Federal Prohibition in PracticeBy Mike Maharrey Rep. Stephen Huffman (R) introduced House Bill 523 (HB523) on April 14. The legislation sets in motion the creation of a limited medical marijuana program in Ohio. There is hereby established a medical marijuana control program in the department of commerce and the state board of pharmacy. The department shall provide for the licensure of medical marijuana cultivators and processors and the licensure of laboratories that test medical marijuana. The board shall provide for the licensure of retail dispensaries and the registration of patients and their caregivers. The department and board shall administer the program. The new law establishes a seed-to-sale system for growing, testing and dispensing marijuana. Patients suffering from 20 medical conditions will now be able to access medicinal cannabis with some limitations. The law prohibits smoking marijuana and does not allow for home cultivation of cannabis. The law permits patients to use patches, edibles and vaping products. The House passed the bill by a 71-26 margin on May 10. The Senate approved the measure 18-15 on May 25th. The House concurred with Senate amendments 67-29. With Kasichs signature, the law will go into effect in 90 days. Sen. Dave Burke (R-Marysville) carried HB523 in the Senate. He said growers could be cultivating marijuana within a year, with products on the shelves in 16 months. The law requires the program to be fully operational within two years. According to the Columbus Dispatch, polling indicates 90 percent of Ohioans support legalized medical marijuana. With passage of the bill, Ohioans for Medical Marijuana dropped its effort to put the issue on the November ballot, citing lack of money and other issues. This is a joyous day for the thousands of Ohioans who will finallybe able to safely access much-needed medicine, Ohioans for Medical Marijuana spokesman Aaron Marshall said. We still have much work ahead of us to improve this imperfectlaw Despite the federal prohibition on marijuana, measures such as HB523 remain perfectly constitutional, and the feds can do little if anything to stop them in practice. Ohios new law partially removes one layer of law prohibiting the possession and use of marijuana in the state, but federal prohibition would remain in place. Of course, the federal government lacks any constitutional authority to ban or regulate marijuana within the borders of a state, despite the opinion of the politically connected lawyers on the Supreme Court. If you doubt this, ask yourself why it took a constitutional amendment to institute federal alcohol prohibition. While this Ohio law does not alter federal law, it takes an important step toward nullifying in effect the federal ban. FBI statistics show that law enforcement makes approximately 99 of 100 marijuana arrests under state, not federal law. By easing the state laws, the Ohio legislature would remove some of the basis for 99 percent of marijuana arrests. Furthermore, figures indicate it would take 40 percent of the DEAs yearly-budget just to investigate and raid all of the dispensaries in Los Angeles a single city in a single state. That doesnt include the cost of prosecution. The lesson? The feds lack the resources to enforce marijuana prohibition without state assistance. Ohio joins a growing number of states simply ignoring federal prohibition. Colorado, Washington state and Alaska have all legalized both recreational and medical marijuana, and 23 states now allow cannabis for medical use. With nearly half the country legalizing marijuana, the feds find themselves in a position where they simply cant enforce prohibition any more. The feds need state cooperation to fight the drug war, and that has rapidly evaporated in the last few years with state legalization, practically nullifying the ban. The lesson here is pretty straight forward. When enough people say, No! to the federal government, and enough states pass laws backing those people up, theres not much the feds can do to shove their so-called laws, regulations or mandates down our throats, Tenth Amendment Center founder and executive director Michael Boldin said. get the sheeple high, while the NWO moves ahead at full steam = less resistance OH passed a medical marijuana bill. Medical marijuana does not get you high. Try to keep up. This whole marijuana issue is fabricated contentious points to get people riled against each other. It is a plant, grows naturally (hence the old name: WEED), has many medicinal uses, recreationally is safer than alcohol, and less risks of inhalation than tobacco yet for all that, people seem to think it is so evil and destructive to society that they would rather destroy families of those who refuse to adopt mainstream propaganda points by defying popular opinion and partaking of the herb. They still play games with marijuana now with the whole Byzantine system of legalization. There will still be people getting locked up, not so much for possession, but for regulatory violations, or policy infractions, or failure to pay excessive taxes associated with cannabis. Were people serious about eliminating the problem of cannabis, they would just DE-CRIMINALIZE it. Anytime you legalize you still have opportunities for people to violate that legality. People will still go to jail over marijuana in the future even with all this legislation because it is useless efforts with no heart in it. If you can grow 10 plants, lets say, and one is puny so you plant 11 instead of 10 (because one is just a junk plant) you can be prosecuted under new marijuana lawsnothing has changed as end result of this. Free the weed, feed your head and jail the feds. Thats the way to grow the Lazy, bottom dweller ranks Mr. Kasich. Gotta get all the sheep on board mentally before you can get them to walk straight off the cliff together, eh? 
1	Listening to oral arguments Wednesday regarding the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, all nine Supreme Court justices were reportedly moved to tears by the heartfelt and highly personal testimony of a bigot who despises homosexuals unreservedly. Its impossible for anyone who hasnt spent their whole life in a state of benighted prejudice to know the pain and hardship that people like myself endure every day in our efforts to ensure that gays and lesbians remain oppressed and unequal, said the immense homophobe, whose stirring, emotional speech about his harrowing daily struggles to impede social progress prompted a weeping Chief Justice John Roberts to halt the proceedings briefly so that he and the 500 individuals in attendance could compose themselves. Just for a moment, put yourself in my shoes and try to imagine how difficult it is to know that the elevated social standing that I so unjustly enjoy is at stake. We have come too far and worked too hard to make sure that gays are second-class citizens, and all were asking for is basic unfairness. After all, isnt that what this country is founded on? Forgoing their typical months of deliberation, the justices issued an immediate 9-0 decision upholding DOMA, with Roberts writing that the testimony had opened [his] eyes to the plight of the nations intolerant and vowing that the court would never again allow progress and equality to impede the happiness of the nations close-minded and prejudiced. 
1	In what was apparently the biggest event of their season, sources confirmed Tuesday that some fucking UFC 225 or 134 thing reportedly happened last weekend. The fight, which took place in Vegas or whatever city sanctions these things, reportedly featured someone named Silva and probably another guy named Ortiz or Muto. Several commercials airing on ESPN and Spike promoted the event as a showdown as well as a revenge match, suggesting that at some point these guys had done this thing with each other before. Reports indicate UFC 254 or 178 or some shit like that was available for $60 on one of those pay-per-view channels and that a friend had a bunch of the guys over to watch it at his place. As President of UFC, I was very pleased to see another memorable fight, said the large bald man wearing a tight black T-shirt during the televised press conference following the match. It certainly lived up to the hype. According to sources, this was the latest UFC numbered bout, which either followed UFC 184 or Fight Night 34 or 221 or whatever fucking number theyre at now. Reports remain unclear whether this is the same thing as the MMA, which is reportedly becoming the most popular sport or something. Eyewitnesses reported that comedian Joe Rogan, who apparently has been really involved with this stuff since whenever it began, provided color commentary for the fight alongside some other guy. It was a tough match, said one of the fighters, who is some sort of wrestler or does tae kwon do or whatever they do in Kickboxer, adding that he had tremendous respect for his opponent, whomever the hell that was. Not a lot of people gave me a chance, but I proved them wrong. Witnesses reported that the men fought each other in some kind of cage-like arena, which sources confirmed is probably referred to as The Octagon. Both men were allowed to bring four guys in jeans and T-shirts to hang over the sides of the rings fence, as these men ostensibly coached them on how to do whatever it is that they do. At several points in the UFC 190 or UFC something-fucking-else, the men were standing, but at other times they were doing stuff while sliding around on the ground, but then later they were standing again, sources confirmed. One of the fighters did something good, but could not do it enough to get the other guy to do the take-out or submission or whatever the fuck its called. According to witnesses, both men eventually grappled onto one another and didnt really move for a while. Moments into the second round, one of the men sprinted toward the other and plowed into his opponents chest, which is reportedly how they earn points or something. Silva went fucking crazy, said one UFC fan, likely referring to when one guy wrapped his leg around the other guys chest before twisting his arm behind his neck in what is probably called a triangle or choke-bar or The Katonga. I knew he had him when he did his [weird trademark move that he must have learned after spending a year in Manila or someplace like that working with the guy who first came up with it]. Sources report that after that, one of the guys did this move that switched things around and then the other guy was getting pounded. According to witnesses, the fight ended after seven minutes, which may or may not be how long these things are supposed to last. The match was reportedly stopped by the referee, who apparently possessed some set of criteria for determining when one of the fighters had been beaten badly enough. While all of their matches are called Ultimate Fighting Championship, sources clarified that this one was, in fact, believed to be for some sort of championship, noting that the winner was given a belt to hoist. The loser bled profusely from his head while curled up in one of the corners, but reports indicate that type of thing is not unusual. At press time, UFC continued to have an estimated value of over $2 billion. 
1	The psychic phone-service industry is reeling following Monday's announcement by actor Gary Coleman that the Psychic Friends Network is by far the best psychic advisement service availablethe first-ever incontrovertible proof of the service's superiority over its competitors. In an announcement that has shifted the balance of power within the psychic phone-service industry, Gary Coleman endorses the Psychic Friends Network before a national television audience. 'When someone told me to try one of those other psychic clubs, I said, 'What are you talking about?'' Coleman said in a nationally televised announcement which aired at 3 a.m. on CBS. 'There's only one true psychic phone service: The Psychic Friends Network.' Coleman, who portrayed Arnold Jackson on TV's Diff'rent Strokes from 1978 to 1985, had until Monday remained silent on the subject of which service offers the best psychic advice. The long-awaited endorsement has sent shockwaves through the $2 billion psychic industry. 'Until now, it has not been clear which psychic phone service is truly the best,' said professor Clement Dewey of Princeton University. 'But now that Gary Coleman has formally endorsed the Psychic Friends Network, this changes everything. Those 'imitation' psychic lines are through. The truth has come out, and we are all the better for it.' PFN celebrity spokesperson and internationally renowned recording star Dionne Warwick was pleased with the Coleman announcement. 'We have always been proud of our hard-working team of master psychics,' Warwick said. 'But now, after receiving Mr. Coleman's seal of approval, we finally have undeniable proof that we are the only legitimate psychic service.' Top PFN psychic Linda Georgian agreed, saying, 'All it takes is a telephone and an open mind. Call now for your free 15-minute reading!' In the wake of Monday's endorsement, millions of Americans who postponed choosing a psychic phone service until Coleman went public with a preference are now seeking advice from PFN's staff of expert counselors. 'I presumed that those psychic lines were all phony,' said Gail Saunders of Escondido, CA. 'Now, with Mr. Coleman's endorsement, the universe seems a very different place. There are forces out there that we don't understandforces we cannot confront alone. And I'd like to thank Gary for making me understand that.' Added Saunders: 'Will you excuse me? I have to go call my psychic. The last time we spoke, I asked her about marriage, and she said she saw a tall, dark, handsome millionaire on the horizon. That's exactly what I wanted to hear!' In a press statement responding to Coleman's announcement, longtime skeptic and debunker of the paranormal James 'The Amazing' Randi said: 'I wish to formally retract all of my past statements which implied that psychic phenomena were dubious or false. Clearly, the psychic service which can convince Gary Coleman of its validity is one to be respected, even feared. I pray that they will forgive a foolish old man who spoke without thinking.' According to Advertising Age managing editor George Lysham, Coleman has long been considered infallible among sitcom veterans, his views second only to those of famed Glad Trash Bags pitchman Tom Bosley. 'Remember, Coleman was not just the star of eight seasons of Diff'rent Strokes,' Lysham said. 'We're talking about the star of The Kid With The Broken Halo and that movie where he slept in the locker at the bus station. His opinions are not to be dismissed lightly.' As a result of the Coleman endorsement, celebrity endorsers of other psychic phone lines are scrambling to reorganize their lives. Ted Lange and Elke Sommer of Kenny Kingston's Psychic Hotline have publicly renounced Kingston, and Psychic Encounters spokespersons Nichelle Nichols and Lady Sunshine have reportedly gone into hiding. Future infomercials for PFN will replace the disclaimer, 'For entertainment purposes only,' with the statement, 'Everything claimed by PFN psychics is guaranteed 100 percent true by authority of Gary Coleman, former television star and world-renowned psychic verification expert.' 
1	Sources confirmed Tuesday the comic book and sci-fi expo Comic-Con was once again tarnished by the presence of the increasingly popular Bully-Con, a brutal event held simultaneously in the same convention space and attended by some of the nation's most die-hard fans of pummeling nerds. Now in its fifth year, Bully-Con reportedly drew more than 125,000 tormentors of all stripes to the San Diego Convention Center, many of whom said that for people really into making life miserable for those weaker than themselves, there was nothing quite like the massive four-day gathering. 'I don't necessarily have to travel to San Diego to slap a copy of Spider-Man out of some pussy's hands, but there's something special about coming together with thousands of people who really dig the same sort of cruelty you do,' said Houston-area goon Marty Badolato, adding that he quickly made half a dozen new friends while shoving people exiting a Q&A with Tick creator Ben Edlund. 'It just blew my mind to be in a single building completely surrounded by so many people making nerds flinch.' A Bully-Con panel discussion featuring three bullying legends. 'And check out the cool swag,' added Badolato, holding up two halves of an autographed photo of Star Trek actress Nichelle Nichols that he had torn up moments after a fan had gotten the signature. 'I've got a tote bag filled with stuff like this.' In just a few short years, Bully-Con has grown from a small group of thugs roaming the Comic-Con exhibition halls in search of geeks to harass as they peruse fantasy miniatures into a phenomenon in its own right. This year's installment featured more than 200 breakout sessions, including a workshop on headlock technique, a retrospective look at the history of menacingly whispering 'faggot,' and a seminar on Japanese ijime bullying, which in the past decade has become tremendously popular in the United States. The centerpiece of this year's event was an all-star panel discussion in which celebrated bullies past and present offered advice on how to go to the Comic-Con panel on The Walking Dead and absolutely ruin it. 'When we started this, it was just me and a couple of friends who wanted to taunt some Joss Whedon fans,' said Bully-Con co-founder Chet Olsen, who told reporters he never imagined he and 300 fellow bullies would one day heckle the host of a Firefly trivia contest to the point of tears, or push writer Matt Fraction down a hill behind the convention center. 'It's so much bigger than that now, and while I'm proud of my contribution, a lot of the credit goes to ordinary bullies who travel out here from around the country.' 'Well, them and all the dorks,' Olsen added. 'It wouldn't be any fun without those little shits.' Indeed, over time, Comic-Con has become almost as well-known for the colorful costumes of its attendees as for the scheduled convention events themselves, an element Bully-Con attendees said had become a huge part of the experience for them as well. 'It's fun to sneak up behind people dressed as Boba Fett, rip the helmet off, and leave them standing there with their dumb heads sticking out of body armor,' said bully Rod Fitzgerald, adding that his girlfriend was also a bully and loved telling girls dressed like Kate Beckinsale's Underworld character that anyone as fat and disgusting as they were had a lot of nerve wearing skin-tight leather. 'I've been coming to Bully-Con since the beginning, and going up to some dweeb in robes and glasses, and twisting his arm until he screams, 'My name is Homo Potter!' just never gets old.' Fitzgerald smiled and added, 'Man, I can't wait until October for New York Bully-Con.' 
3	Syrian Inflammatory Rhetoric Charges West With Supporting TerrorBrandon Turbeville Ignoring for sake of argument the fact that the Syrian government has been pressured into attending peace talks with a foreign-backed invading force of fanatics, as well as the fact that the nations who are continuing to fund the invasion are sitting directly across the table from Syrias legitimate government, the information being reported from the conference, much like the information that has been reported from Syria in general, has been largely scrubbed of relevant facts. Indeed, reports coming from mainstream sources regarding the developments of the talks contain the constant repetition of claims of inflammatory rhetoric being uttered by the Syrian delegation against the Syrian death squad representatives, the representatives of the Western world, and the United Nations itself. These accusations against the Syrian delegation, led by Syrian Foreign Minister Wallid Muallem, come despite insulting and factually bereft statements like those made by Skull and Bones John Kerry, where Kerry said that There is no way the man who has led a brutal response to his own people can regain the legitimacy to govern. One man and his henchmen can no longer hold an entire nation hostage. Additional inflammatory rhetoric accusations were hurled at Syrian Foreign Minister Wallid Muallem when he briefly argued with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, after Moon attempted to shorten Muallems speech to within the proscribed time limit. Muallem responded, You live in New York. I live in Syria. I have the right to give the Syrian version here in this forum. Muallem also chided the death squad delegation by saying If you want to speak in the name of the Syrian people, you should not be traitors to the Syrian people or agents in the pay of enemies of the Syrian people. According to Western governments, this was more inflammatory rhetoric. During the course of his speech to the assembled delegations, Muallem addressed the history of the foreign-backed terrorists operating inside Syria, the countries who have trained, financed, and supported these terrorists, and the unspeakable atrocities that they have committed over the last three years. Muallem expressed a desire to rid Syria of the death squads now continuing to operate within its borders as well as a determination to ensure that decisions about Syrias government will be made by Syrians themselves. Yet the mainstream media outlets have largely ignored the publication of Muallems words to the delegation, instead focusing on two short sound bites and an articles worth of disinformation in the interpretation of the statements. This then, is the inflammatory rhetoric that Western governments and media outlets, would rather you not hear. My delegation and I also carry the hope of a nation for the years to come the right of every child to safely go to school again, the right of women to leave their homes without fear of being kidnapped, killed or raped; the dream of our youth to fulfill their vast potential; the return of security so that every man can leave his family safe in the knowledge that he will return. Finally, today, the moment of truth; the truth that many have systematically tried to bury in a series of campaigns of misinformation, deception and fabrication leading to killing and terror. A truth that refused to be buried, a truth clear for all to see the delegation of the Syrian Arab Republic representing the Syrian people, the government, the state, the Army and the President Bashar al-Assad. It is regrettable, Ladies and Gentlemen, that seated amongst us today in this room, are representatives of countries that have the blood of Syrians on their hands, countries that have exported terrorism along with clemency for the perpetrators, as if it was their God given right to determine who will go to heaven and who will go to hell. Countries that have prevented believers from visiting holy places of worship whilst abetting, financing and supporting terrorists. Countries that gave themselves the authority to grant and deny legitimacy to others as they saw fit, never looking at their own archaic glasshouses before throwing stones at acclaimed fortified towers. Countries that shamelessly lecture us in democracy, in development and in progress whilst drowning in their own ignorance and medieval norms. Countries that have become accustomed to being entirely owned by kings and princes who have the sole right to distribute their national wealth granting their associates whilst denying those who fall out of favor. They lectured Syria a distinguished, virtuous, sovereign state, they lectured her on honour whilst they themselves were immersed in the mud of enslavement, infanticide and other medieval practices. After all their efforts and subsequent failures, their masks fell from their quivering faces, to reveal their perverse ambitions. A desire to destabilize and destroy Syria by exporting their national product: terrorism. They used their petrodollars to buy weapons, recruit mercenaries and saturate airtime covering up their mindless brutality with lies under the guise of the so-called Syrian revolution that will fulfill the aspirations of the Syrian people. Ladies and Gentlemen, how is what has happened and continues to plague Syria, meeting these aspirations? How can a Chechen, Afghani, Saudi, Turkish or even French and English terrorists deliver on the aspirations of the Syrian people, and with what? An Islamic state that knows nothing of Islam except perverse Wahhabism? Who declared anyway that the Syrian people aspire to live thousands of years in the past? In Syria, Ladies and Gentlemen, the wombs of pregnant women are butchered and their foetuses killed; women are raped, dead or alive, in practices so heinous, so vile and repulsive that they can only be attributed to their perverse doctrine. In Syria, Ladies and Gentlemen, men are slaughtered in front of their children in the name of this revolution; worse still, this is done whilst the children of these foreign perpetrators sing and dance. In Syria, how can so-called revolutionaries cannibalize a mans heart and claim to promote freedom, democracy and a better life? Under the pretext of the Great Syrian Revolution, civilians, clergymen, women and children are killed, victims are indiscriminately blown up in streets and buildings regardless of their political views or ideologies; books and libraries are burned, graves are dug up and artifacts stolen. In the name of the revolution, children are killed in their schools and students in their universities, women are extorted in the name of jihad al-nikah and other forms, mosques are shelled whilst worshipers kneel at prayer, heads are severed and hung in the streets, people are burned alive in a true holocaust that history and many countries will deny without being accused of anti-Semitism. In the name of a revolution, to free the oppressed Syrian people from the regime and to spread democracy, does a father blow himself up with his wife and children to prevent foreign intruders from entering his home? Most of us in this room are fathers I ask you then, what would compel a man to kill his own family to protect them from freedom fighting monsters. This is what happened in Adra, a place that most of you have not heard of but where the same alien monsters attacked: killing, looting, beheading, slaughtering, raping and burning people alive. You have heard nothing of this brutality for sure, yet you have heard of other places where the same heinous crimes were committed and where the same blood soaked finger was pointed at the Syrian Army and government. And when these flagrant lies were no longer credible, they stopped spinning their web of deceit. This is what their masters ordered them to do, these countries that spearheaded the war against Syria, trying to increase their influence in the region with bribes and money, exporting human monsters fully soaked in abhorrent Wahabi ideology, all at the expense of Syrian blood. From this stage, loud and clear, you know as well as I do that they will not stop in Syria, even if some sitting in this room refuse to acknowledge or consider themselves immune. Ladies and Gentlemen, everything you have heard would not have been possible, had our border sharing countries been good neighbours during these challenging years. Unfortunately they were far from it; with backstabbers to the North, silent bystanders to the truth in the West, a weak South accustomed to doing the bidding of others, or the tired and exhausted East still reeling from the plots to destroy it along with Syria. Indeed, this misery and destruction, wich has engulfed Syria, has been made possible by the decision of Erdogans government to invite and host these criminal terrorists before they entered into Syria. Clearly, oblivious to the fact that magic eventually turns on the magician, it is now beginning to taste the sour seed it has sown. For terrorism knows no religion, and is loyal only unto itself. Erdogans government has recklessly morphed from a zero problems with its neighbours policy to zero foreign policy and international diplomacy altogether, crucially leaving it with zero credibility. Nevertheless, it continued on the same atrocious path falsely believing that the dream of Sayyid Qutb and Mohammad Abdel Wahab before him was finally being realized. They wreaked havoc from Tunisia, to Libya, to Egypt and then to Syria, determined to achieve an illusion that only exists in their sick minds. Despite the fact that it has proven to be a failure, they nevertheless are still determined to pursue it. Logically speaking, this can only be described as stupidity, because if you dont learn from history, you will lose sight of the present; and history tells us: if your neighbors house is on fire, it is impossible for you to remain safe. Some neighbours started fires within Syria whilst others recruited terrorists from around the globe and here we are confronted with shockingly farcical double standards: 83 nationalities are fighting in Syria nobody denounces this, nobody condemns it, nobody reconsiders their position and they impertinently continue to call it a glorious SYRIAN Revolution! While when a few scores of young resistant fighters supported the Syrian Army in a few places, all hell broke loose and it suddenly became foreign intervention! Demands were made for the departure of foreign troops and the protection of Syrian sovereignty and for it not to be violated. Here I affirm, Syria the sovereign and independent state, will continue to do whatever it takes to defend herself with whatever means it deems necessary, without paying the least bit of attention to any uproar, denunciations, statements or positions expressed by others. These have been and always will be Syrias sovereign decisions. Despite all of this, the Syrian people remained steadfast; and the response was to impose sanctions on our food, our bread and our childrens milk. To starve the population, pushing them into sickness and death under the injustice of these sanctions. At the same time, factories were looted and burned, crippling our food and pharmaceutical industries; hospitals and healthcare centers were destroyed; our railroads and electricity lines sabotaged, and even our places of worship Christian and Muslim were not spared their terrorism. When all of this failed, America threatened to strike Syria, fabricating with her allies, Western and Arab, the story about the use of chemical weapons, which failed to convince even their own public, let alone ours. Countries that celebrate democracy, freedom and human rights regrettably only choose to speak the language of blood, war, colonialism and hegemony. Democracy is imposed with fire, freedom with warplanes and human rights by human killing, because they have become accustomed to the world doing their bidding: if they want something, it will happen; if they dont, it wont. They have heedlessly forgotten that the perpetrators who blew themselves up in New York follow the same doctrine and come from the same source as those blowing themselves up in Syria. They have heedlessly forgotten that the terrorist that was in America yesterday is in Syria today, and who knows where he will be tomorrow. What is certain, however, is that he will not stop here. Afghanistan is an ideal lesson for anyone who wants to learn anyone! Unfortunately, most do not want to learn; neither America nor some of the civilized western countries that follow its lead, starting from the city of lights to the kingdom over which the sun never set, in the past; despite the fact that they have all felt the bitter taste of terrorism in the past. And then suddenly they became Friends of Syria. Four of these friends are autocratic, oppressive monarchies that know nothing of a civil state or democracy, whilst others are the same colonial powers which occupied, pillaged and partitioned Syria less than one hundred years ago. These so called friends are now convening conferences to publicly declare their friendship with the Syrian people, whilst covertly facilitating their hardship and destroying their livelihoods. They openly express their outrage over the humanitarian plight of Syrians whilst deceiving the international community of their complicity. If you were truly concerned about the humanitarian situation in Syria, you would remove your strangle hold on her economy by lifting the sanctions and the embargo, and by partnering with her government in tightening security by fighting the influx of weapons and terrorists. Only then can we assure you that we will be well as we once were, without your deep concern for our wellbeing. Some of you may be asking yourselves: Are foreigners the sole manufacturers of the happenings in Syria? No Ladies and Gentlemen, Syrians amongst us here, having been legitimized by foreign agendas, have played a contributing role as facilitators and implementers. They did this at the expense of Syrian blood and the people whose aspirations they claim to represent, whilst they themselves were divided hundreds of times and their leaders on the ground were fleeing far and wide. They sold themselves to Israel becoming her eyes on the ground, and her fingers on the trigger for Syrias destruction; and when they failed, Israel intervened directly to reduce the capabilities of the Syrian Army and thus ensuring the continued implementation of her decades old plan for Syria. Our people were being slaughtered while they were living in five star hotels; they opposed from abroad, met abroad betraying Syria and selling themselves to the highest foreign bidder. And yet, they still claim to speak in the name of the Syrian people! No, Ladies and Gentlemen, anyone wishing to speak on behalf of the Syrian people cannot be a traitor to their cause and an agent for their enemies. Those wishing to speak on behalf of the people of Syria should do so from within her borders: living in her destroyed houses, sending their children to her schools in the morning not knowing if they will return safe from mortar shelling, tolerating the freezing cold winters because of the shortage in heating oil and queuing for hours to buy bread for their families because sanctions have prevented us from importing wheat when we were once exporters. Anyone wanting to speak in the name of the Syrian people should first endure three years of terrorism, confronting it head on, and then come here and speak on behalf of the Syrian people. Ladies and gentlemen,the Syrian Arab Republic people and state, has fulfilled its duties. It has welcomed hundreds of international journalists and facilitated their mobility, security and access; and they in turn have reflected the stark and horrific realities they witnessed to their audiences, realities that have perplexed many Western media organisations who couldnt bear their propaganda and narrative being exposed and contradicted. The examples are too many to count. We allowed international aid and relief organizations into the country, but the clandestine agents of certain parties sitting here, obstructed them from reaching those in dire need of aid. They came under terrorist attack several times, whilst we, as a state, did our duty in protecting them and facilitating their work. We issued numerous amnesties and released thousands of prisoners, some even members of armed groups, at the anger and dismay of their victims families; these families though, like the rest of us, ultimately accepted that Syrias interests come before anything else, and hence we must conceal our wounds and rise above hatred and rancor. What have you done, you who claim to speak on behalf of the Syrian people. Where is your vision for this great country? Where are your ideas or your political manifesto? Who are your agents of change on the ground other than your armed criminal gangs? I am certain that you have nothing and this is only too apparent in the areas that your mercenaries have occupied or to use your words liberated. In these areas, have you freed the population or have you hijacked their moderate culture to enforce your radical and oppressive practices? Have you implemented your development agenda by building schools and health centres? No, you have destroyed them and allowed polio to return after it had previously been eradicated in Syria. Have you protected Syrias artifacts and museums? No, you have looted our national sites for your personal profit. Have you demonstrated your commitment to justice and human rights? No, you have enforced public executions and beheadings. In short, you have done nothing at all except muster the disgrace and shame of begging America to strike Syria. Even the opposition, over which you are the self-appointed masters and guardians, do not acknowledge you or the methods in which you manage your own affairs, let alone the affairs of a country. A country they want to homogenize; not in the sectarian, ethnic or religious sense, but rather in a warped ideological sense. Anyone against them, whether Christian or Muslim, is an infidel; they killed Muslims of all sects and targeted Syrian Christians with severity. Even nuns and bishops were targeted, kidnapping them after they attacked Maloula, the last community that still speaks the language of Jesus Christ. They did all this to force Syrian Christians to flee their country. But little did they know, that in Syria we are one. When Christianity is attacked all Syrians are Christians, when mosques are targeted all Syrians are Muslims. Every Syrian is from Raqqa, Lattakia, Sweida, Homs or the bleeding Aleppo when any one of these places is targeted. Their abhorrent attempts to sow sectarian and religious sedition will never be embraced by any levelheaded Syrian. In short, Ladies and Gentlemen, your glorious Syrian revolution has left no mortal sin uncommitted. There is another side to this dark gloomy picture. A light at the end of the tunnel shinning through the Syrian peoples determination and steadfastness, the Syrian Armys courage in protecting our citizens and the Syrian states resilience and perseverance. During everything that has happened, there are states that have shown us true friendship, honest states that stood on the side of right against wrong, even when the wrong was clear for all to see. On behalf of the Syrian people and state, I would like to thank Russia and China for respecting Syrias sovereignty and independence. Russia has been a true champion on the international stage strongly defending, not only with words but also with deeds, the founding principles of the United Nations of respecting the sovereignty of states. Similarly China, the BRICS countries, Iran, Iraq and other Arab and Muslim countries, in addition to African and Latin American countries, have also genuinely safeguarded the aspirations of the Syrian people and not the ambitions of other governments for Syria. Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, the Syrian people, like other people of the region, aspire to more freedom, justice and human rights; they aspire to more plurality and democracy, to a better Syria, a safe, prosperous and healthy Syria. They aspire to building strong institutions not destroying them, to safeguarding our national artifacts and heritage sites not looting and demolishing them. They aspire to a strong national army, which protects our honour, our people and our national wealth, an army that defends Syrias borders, her sovereignty and independence. They do not, Ladies and Gentlemen, aspire to a mercenary army Free to kidnap civilians for ransom or to use them as human shields, Free to steal humanitarian aid, extort the poor and illegally trade in the organs of living women and children, Free to canibalise human hearts and livers, barbequing heads, recruiting child soldiers and raping women. All of this is done with the might of arms; arms provided by countries, represented here, who claim to be championing moderate groups. Tell us, for Gods sake, where is the moderation in everything I have described? Where are these vague moderate groups that you are hiding behind? Are they the same old groups that continue to be supported militarily and publicly by the West, that have undergone an even uglier face-lift in the hope of convincing us that they are fighting terrorism? We all know that no matter how hard their propaganda machine tries to polish their image under the name of moderation, their extremism and terrorism is one and the same. They know, as we all do, that under the pretext of supporting these groups, al-Qaeda and its affiliates are being armed in Syria, Iraq and other countries in the region. This is the reality, Ladies and Gentlemen, so wake up to the undeniable reality that the West is supporting some Arab countries to supply lethal weapons to al-Qaeda. The West publically claims to be fighting terrorism, whilst in fact it is covertly nourishing it. Anyone who cannot see this truth is either ignorantly blind or willfully so in order to finish what they have begun. Is this the Syria that you want? The loss of thousands of martyrs and our once cherished safety and national security replaced with apocalyptic devastation. Are these the aspirations of the Syrian people that you wanted to fulfill? No, Ladies and Gentlemen, Syria will not remain so, and that is why we are here. Despite all that has been done by some, we have come to save Syria: to stop the beheadings, to stop the cannibalizing and the butchering. We have come to help mothers and children return to the homes they were driven out of by terrorists. We have come to protect the civil and open-minded nature of the state, to stop the march of the Tatars and the Mongols across our region. We have come to prevent the collapse of the entire Middle East, to protect civilization, culture and diversity, and to preserve the dialogue of civilizations in the birthplace of religions. We have come to protect tolerant Islam that has been distorted, and to protect the Christians of the Levant. We are here to tell our Syrian expatriates, to return to their home country because they will always be foreigners anywhere else, and regardless of our differences we are all still brothers and sisters. We have come to stop terrorism as other countries that have experienced its bitter taste have done, whilst affirming loudly and consistently that a dialogue between Syrians is the only solution; but as with other countries that have been struck by terrorism, we have a constitutional duty to defend our citizens and we shall continue to strike terrorism that attacks Syrians regardless of their political affiliations. We have come to hold those accountable, for as long as particular countries continue to support terrorism, this conference will bear no fruit. Political pluralism and terrorism cannot coexist in the same landscape. Politics can only prosper by fighting terrorism; it cannot grow in its shadow. We are here as representatives of the Syrian people and the state; but let it be clear to all, and experience is the best proof that nobody has the authority to grant or withdraw legitimacy from a president, a government, a constitution, a law or anything else in Syria except Syrians themselves; this is their constitutional right and duty. Therefore, whatever agreement is reached here will be subject to a national referendum. We are tasked with conveying our peoples desires, not with determining their destiny; those who want to listen to the will of the Syrian people should not appoint themselves as their spokesperson. Syrians alone have the right to choose their government, their parliament and their constitution; everything else is just talk and has no significance. Finally, to all those here and everyone watching around the world: in Syria we are fighting terrorism, terrorism which has destroyed and continues to destroy; terrorism which since the 1980s Syria has been calling, on deaf ears, for a unified front to defeat it. Terrorism has struck in America, France, Britain, Russia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan; the list goes on and it continues to spread. Let us all cooperate to fight it, lets work hand in hand to stop its black, horrifying and obscurantist ideology. Then, let us as Syrians stand united to focus on Syria and start rebuilding its social fabric and material structures. As I said, dialogue is the foundation to this process, and despite our gratitude to the host country, we affirm that the real dialogue between Syrians should in fact be on Syrian soil and under Syrian skies. Exactly one year ago, the Syrian government put forward its vision for a political solution; think of how much innocent blood we would have saved had some countries resorted to reason instead of terrorism and destruction. For a whole year, we have been calling for dialogue, but terrorism continued to strike at the Syrian state, her people and institutions. Today, in this gathering of Arab and Western powers, we are presented with a simple choice: we can choose to fight terrorism and extremism together and to start a new political process, or you can continue to support terrorism in Syria. Let us reject and isolate the black hands and the false faces, which publicly smile but covertly feed terrorist ideology, striking Syria today, but ultimately spreading to infect us all. This is the moment of truth and destiny; let us rise to the challenge. Thank you. ___________ Recently from Brandon Turbeville: Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

2	Al Sharpton Claims He Should Be Exempt From Paying Taxes And Gave THIS Reason Al Sharpton is probably equally known for his activism and his extortionist tendencies and arrogance. Over the last couple months, the American public is starting to recognize him more for the latter. Now, has been revealed that he actually owes millions of dollars in unpaid taxes. According to recent reports, Sharpton owes nearly $4.5 million in backed taxes. Its actually quite surprising that he hasnt been thrown in jail already. Of course, Sharpton believes that he is exempt from paying anything. Were talking about old taxes. I think its political, Sharpton told the public. A lot of people dont like the fact that President Obama is the president. A lot of people do not like the fact that Bill de Blasio won for mayor. And they certainly dont like that Im still here, and I aint going nowhere. To those who have been paying their taxes, his excuse iswellinexcusable. Not only does he avoid the issue, he uses race and politics to shield the issue. What do you think? Should Sharpton be held accountable for paying taxes just like everyone else? 
3	May 2016: Will Deutsche Bank Survive This Wave Of Trouble Or Will It Be The Next Lehman Brothers?By Michael Snyder A month after admitting to rigging precious metals markets, Deutsche Bank has been hit with a double-whammy of more alleged fraudulent behavior today and the stock is sliding. First, Reuters reports that the bank took a charge of 450 million euros for equity trading fraud, and then Bloomberg reports that The SEC is looking into Deutsches post-crisis mortgage positions. This is a bank that is steadily bleeding money, and so the last thing that it needs is for government agencies to be putting immense pressure on it. Unfortunately for Deutsche Bank, the SECseems determined to kick it while it is down Troubled Wall Street giant Deutsche Bank is under another investigation, this time by the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the pricing and reporting of certain mortgage-backed securities. The SEC wants to know whether the Frankfurt, Germany-based bank artificially raised the value of mortgage-backed securities in 2013 and later hid those losses for an extended period of time, Bloomberg first reported, citing people familiar with the matter. At one point, it was estimated that Deutsche Bank had 64 trillion dollars worth of exposure to derivatives contracts. That is an amount of money that is approximately 16 times the size of the GDP of the entire nation of Germany. So nobody wants to see Deutsche Bank fail. It would be a financial disaster unlike anything the world has ever experienced before. But right now things are not looking good. As you can seefrom this chart, the steady decline of Deutsche Banks stock price is eerily similar to what happened to Lehman Brothers during the months leading up to the time when it finally completely collapsed Earlier this year, Deutsche Banks stock price set a new record low, and since that time it has been hovering just above that record low. Clearly it is no secret that Deutsche Bank is having big problems, and the outlook for the immediate future is not good. I included the following quote fromBerenberg analyst James Chappell in aprevious article, but I think that it bears repeating Too many problems still: The biggest problem is that DBK has too much leverage. On our measures, we believe DBK is still over 40x levered. DBK can either reduce assets or increase capital to rectify this. On the first path, the markets do not exist in the size nor pricing to enable it to follow this route. Going down the second path also seems impossible at the moment, as the profitability of the core business is under pressure. Seeking outside capital is also likely to be difficult as management would likely find it hard to offer any type of return on new capital invested. In the end, I believe that Deutsche Bank will ultimately implode, but it wont be the only one. Meanwhile, we just got some more very disturbing news out of Asia. According toBloomberg, Japanese exports have now fallen for seven months in a row Japans exports fell for a seventh consecutive month in April as the yen strengthened, underscoring the growing challenges to Prime Minister Shinzo Abes efforts to revive economic growth. Overseas shipments declined 10.1 percent in April from a year earlier, the Ministry of Finance said on Monday. The median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg was for a 9.9 percent drop. Imports fell 23.3 percent, leaving a trade surplus of 823.5 billion yen ($7.5 billion), the highest since March 2010. When your imports are 23 percent lower than they were a year earlier, that is a clear sign that consumer demand is way, way down and that your economy is in the process of imploding. So I will repeat what I have said a number of times before Watch Germany and watch Japan. I believe that they are going to be two of the biggest stories as this new global financial crisis begins to play out. *About the author: Michael Snyder is the founder and publisher of The Economic Collapse Blog.

2	Watch Mass Shooting Survivor Suzanna Hupp DESTORY Gun Policy Suzanna Hupp responds to Hillary Clintons idea of a gun confiscation policy. She is angry at the thought of it and decided to speak out against it. Survivor of a 1991 Kileen, Texas mass shooting and a former Democratic state lawmaker, Suzanna Hupp said that at the time of the massacre, which took 24 lives including those of her parents, she was a concealed carry holder, but that she had left her weapon in her vehicle. The restaurant where the shooting had occurred was a gun free zone and she didnt want to break the law. Fox News host Megyn Kelly asked Hupp her thoughts on suggestions that guns be confiscated despite the Second Amendment. I think Hillary Clinton should lead by example, she told Kelly. I think she should disarm her entire security detail and that of her children. Lets see what that looks like a year from now. Lets see how well that works out. If guns are really the problem, Hupp said, why is it that We dont see mass shootings at dreaded gun shows; we dont see mass shootings at NRA conventions. We need more people like Suzanna Hupp to speak out against ridiculous gun policies. We need to stand up for our rights. Do you agree with Suzanna Hupp? Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com 
3	From Official Policy To Mainstream Discourse: Propaganda In The MakingBy Daniel Espinosa Winder It was November 24th when Craig Timberg from the Washington Post ran a piece about the findings of an anonymous media analyst called Propornot, blacklisting nearly 200 alternative news sites as peddlers of Russian Propaganda. After a strong negative reaction by many journalists, the Post issued a correction stating that the newspaper didnt endorse the findings made by Propornot. A week later and despite corrections, Timberg followed up his piece on Russian propaganda with Efforts to Combat Foreign Propaganda Advances in Congress, where he states: Congressional negotiators on Wednesday (November 30th) approved an initiative to track and combat foreign propaganda amid growing concerns that Russian efforts to spread fake news and disinformation threaten U.S. national security, and further into the article: The initiative grows out of a bill authored in March by (Sen. Robert) Portman (R-Ohio) and Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) called the Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act. It initially sprang from a desire to help independent journalists and nongovernmental organizations in European nations such as Ukraine, Moldova and Serbia, which face a heavy tide of Russian propaganda.(Emphasis is mine) This information is misleading. In reality, the initiative didnt grow out of a bill authored in March; instead, the initiative and the bill are one and the same. It was lightly modified in July to eliminate a small paragraph on Ukraine, included in the first place mostly as an example of the kind of situation it would address. The article is also based on information judged as doubtful by its own editor, to say the least. After the July 2016 version of the bill, there were no further modifications. But by July, both fake news and Russian propaganda were only beginning to surface in mainstream media as a trending topics (and national security concerns). We cannot imagine a positive or welcoming reaction to Obamas sanctions against Russia or the need to regulate Facebook if they would have been presented to public opinion by July or even September. But for Sen. Rob Portman, the urgency of the problem was clear enough when the Act was introduced for the first time in March, as he stated in an Atlantic Council speech: Structural deficiencies are preventing us from effectively countering foreign disinformation and propaganda and will continue to hinder future administrationsboth Republican and Democratunless they are addressed The most sophisticated media engagement strategies in the world will not work if the adversary jams communications towers, censors media outlets, or pursues a comprehensive strategy of grassroots manipulation designed to shape perceptions on the ground (Emphasis is mine) The agenda setting media, with the Washington Post leading the effort this time, was only preparing itself to start the propaganda campaign that then gained momentum with the presidential election itself, and basically repeated Portmans view of foreign propaganda adding the already mentioned examples of the threat Russian sponsored fake news and propaganda- supported by intelligence consensus and supine, dishonest analysis. This is the usual methodology when incorporating regressive policies or engaging in military aggression, only subtly dressing them as national security measures: the political establishment decides the policy, if popular support will be needed or the issue at hand is controversial, a few months before presenting it publicly a propaganda campaign will convince the audiences of the urgency and legitimacy of the law, sanctions or military measures taken. We saw this pattern repeating itself time after time in the last decade and a half with Iraq, Libya or Syria, but it might be as old as propaganda itself. Regime change during the Cold War was said to respond to the Communist threat, and alternative discourses were many times labelled anti-American, a mere form of censorship. Now its fake news. To be clear, the CDPA itself could have passed without much noise, as it was inserted in the National Defense Authorization Act for 2017, and passed quietly at night, during holidays. The propaganda campaign discussed in this article was aimed mainly at convincing the public about a dangerous enemy country meddling in US democracy by malicious, covert means, which also served to divert attention from the contents of Hillary Clintons campaign leaks, with its embarrassing revelations of the campaigns ties with journalists. Finally, it was vital in substantiating further measures taken by Obama, as the expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats. The outgoing administration is clearly stating that Russia, and particularly Putin, are enemies of the US and the President-elect should continue to consider them so, or be called a traitor anti-American. In his dalliance with Vladimir Putin, Trumps actions are skirting treason By undermining further investigation or sanctions against the Russian manipulation of the 2016 election, Trump as president would be giving aid and comfort to Russian interference with American Democracy, said democrat Robert Kuttner. (Quoted here by David Swanson) In other words, the propaganda campaign served both to pass the CDPA without opposition, establishing an information regulatory body aimed at the need to shape perceptions on the ground, as Portman pointed out to his elite colleagues in the Atlantic Council last March, and to legitimate Obamas harsh sanctions and vilification of the Russian government. The Propornot fake news fiasco served to toss dozens of alternative media news outlets into the equation and create distrust for them and for social medias recklessness when addressing the issue. It is fundamental to note that any authoritative voices against the CDPA or the smearing of Putin were absent from mainstream media, which framed the supposed hacking, fake news and Russian propaganda as a real, malicious and even blatant attempt by Russia to put a stooge in the White House and manipulate the American democracy. Other voices and testimonies involved were not part of the plurality of the worlds mainstream media, as Craig Murray, former UK ambassador, who declared that the supposed hacks were actually leaks given by a democrat insider after the Bernie Sanders boycott. As a member of WikiLeaks and directly involved in receiving the information, we would think he had something to say that would interest WP readers. Letting opposite voices have their say is elementary journalism. We can now add a second fake news fiasco by the Washington Post, alleging without proof that the Russians hacked and manipulated the US electric grid and then retracting a day later. Of course, the damage was already done and the scoop went viral. In terms of propaganda thats a mission accomplished. Again, there is nothing new to see here, if we remember the San Bernardino Shooting in December 2015, the New York Times declared terrorist ties to the perpetrators without solid proof, to later acknowledge that a Systemic Change is Needed After Faulty Times Article. Again, the effect was already out there, going viral: the US was under terrorist attack, or ISIS is not limited to the Middle East, it can kill you in any American neighborhood. Example: this is a tweet of the WaPo fake news that was retweeted thousands of times, posted by New York Times editorial writer Brent Staples (quoted by Glenn Greenwald, link below). Glenn Greenwald made an excellent point regarding the WP and fake news in a recent piece for The Intercept: Whether the Posts false stories here can be distinguished from what is commonly called Fake News is, at this point, a semantic dispute, particularly since Fake News has no cogent definition. Defenders of Fake News as a distinct category typically emphasize intent in order to differentiate it from bad journalism. Thats really just a way of defining Fake News so as to make it definitionally impossible for mainstream media outlets like the Post ever to be guilty of it (much the way terrorism is defined to ensure that the U.S. Government and its allies, by definition, ever commit it). Facebook, specifically, is another main concern in the fake news/propaganda discourse, as it was becoming the most powerful force in the news industry, according to Farhad Manjoo in a New York Times report, last June. Another, August 24th piece by the Times, Inside Facebooks (Totally Insane, Unintentionally Gigantic, Hyperpartisan) Political-Media Machine, was probably one of the first to point out the supposed dangers of Facebook as a news outlet: (Facebooks) takeover of online media looks rather like a slow-motion coup. Before social media, web publishers could draw an audience one of two ways: through a dedicated readership visiting its home page or through search engines. By 2009, this had started to change. Facebook had more than 300 million users By late 2012, when Facebook passed a billion users, referrals from the social network were sending visitors to publishers websites at rates sometimes comparable to Google In other words, audience attention was shifting from mainstream media and traditional news sources to independent sites and blogs, which amounts to a coup, as Facebook popularity was being abused by bastard, non-corporate news outlets to gain instant massive audiences. This means an obvious loss in advertising revenue. Its all about where the attention of the masses is, in terms of revenue, but it is also who they listen to, in terms of propaganda. Certain political discourses are traditionally disseminated by the mainstream media because of its corporate nature and shared interests, and Facebook was opening the door to non-corporate and independent/alternative news sources presenting different narratives. These alternative media werent new, but Facebook made them more accessible to a population that has become increasingly incredulous of traditional media. Of course, this isnt the perspective of liberal media like the Guardian, where Olivia Solon reveals one of the possible solutions in an article on November 10th, adequately called: Facebook failure: did fake news and polarized politics get Trump elected?: Facebook could introduce a mechanism to allow fact checking organisations to report false stories to Facebook so they dont continually circulate. Of course, people will shout censorship, so maybe Facebook could choose to change the way it display certain stories instead, she (Claire Wardle, research director at the Tow Center for Digital Journalism) said. The Syrian conflict pictures this coup rather clearly: mainstream medias narrative had to compete with a very different perspective brought online by independent researchers and disseminated via social media to reach millions, who then started making questions, and demanding the same quality of coverage from mainstream sources that were basically repeating what the USAID-funded White Helmets (a civil defense group working only in rebel-held zones) had to say, without journalists on the ground. Lets review some Facebook comments regarding Syria in mainstream media fan pages: Russian trolls seem to be getting a lot of likes this days. The commenters appear to be somehow polarized, no doubt, but we are talking about a humanitarian disaster killing hundreds of thousands. Before the Internet, and before Facebook, access to the other versions of events, and history itself, were reserved to researchers with the resources and time to investigate and then publish essays, articles or books on any given subject, or to independent researchers willing to spend hours or days looking for alternative sources of information available on the web but, traditionally, mostly invisible. Robert Portmans partner presenting the CDPA at the Atlantic Council last March, Sen. Chris Murphy, said that the idea behind the bill was to not to propagandize (that would be wrong) but only to offer people the other side, make information available so they can decide for themselves. A clear reversal of reality where the other is always the bad guy and we are only responding and defending ourselves. As Rick Sterling noted in Consortium News on January the 1st: Whether or not you wish to accept these (alternative medias) depictions of the reality in Aleppo, at a minimum, they reflect another side of the story that you have been denied The goal of the Global Engagement Center to counter foreign propaganda is to ensure that you never get to hear this alternative narrative The solution, as prophesized by Claire Wardle, would be regulation (censorship?) of Facebook, which is taking place as Snopes, Politifact and Factcheck are teaming up to tackle whatever they consider fake news, after pressure from politicians and journalists directed at Mark Zuckerberg to take action on the issue. Although, more obscure means of censoring are starting to surface, as ghost-banning, where social media users share information that mysteriously fails to reach their followers, as Craig Murray noticed after posting sharing an article refuting that the source of the Democratic National Committee mails was Russia. Thats what is planned regarding the biggest social media online, but the CPDA goes way further. Among its many functions, it will coordinate information sharing, planning and developing among government agencies to expose foreign propaganda, analyze relevant information, and disseminate thematic narratives to counter propaganda, coordinate with allied countries, and give support to third parties and privates as think tanks, NGOs and journalists. In short, an Orwellian Ministry of Truth, or perhaps a legalization of the infamous CIAs Operation Mockingbird, depending on how exactly these policies are implemented in the public and private spheres. After all, the idea of Op. Mockingbird was to push certain messages and discourse covertly through incorporating journalists and editors in the CIAs payroll (and sometimes even creating its own media). This would amount to a fully overt Mockingbird, claiming the right to use (and counter) propaganda extensively, on the grounds that the enemy is doing the same already, in this case Russia openly funds RT and Sputnik news, but allegedly it also funds hundreds of alternative media promoting fake news and uses any kind of covert means, such as hacking, to manipulate information. If something is completely beyond the mainstream medias framing of this subject is the fact that the US establishment owns the biggest and most sophisticated propaganda apparatus in the world and probably in history. A handful of mega-corporations own most of what Americans watch or read every day, and its ties to official, State discourse and corporate interests are undeniable and widely studied (Link to Edward Hermans The Propaganda Model Revisited). The fact that this criticism has been strictly kept out of the mainstream media is significant. The rationale behind fake news implicates that lies in traditional, mainstream media, are purely accidental and isolated events. In fact, mainstream media participates actively in selling corporate points of view about basically everything regarding human life, as well as pushing for wars by repeating, many times without questioning, State narrative, directly from government sources or even unidentified officials. When this narratives are debunked or challenged they fall back with an editors note, but the propagandistic effect remains. The many wars destroying the Middle East in the last decades have substantial similarities and patterns that corporate journalism seems incapable of grasping, like regime change being sold under the humanitarian intervention scheme. The UK House of Commons report on Libya 2011 uses exactly those words. The result of this ongoing propaganda campaign is the widely believed theory that the US is under cyber-attack by Russia and must retaliate. Putin is clever and resourceful enough to put a stooge in the Oval Office, destroying Hillary Clintons political carrier and the US democracy in the process, leaving none or little trace. Around the world, mainstream media arent necessarily reminding its public that the Russian hacking story is based on allegations, and its now being treated as received knowledge, they arent reminding its readers and viewers about the many inaccuracies and retractions issued by the agenda setting media either. Those are treated as mere details around a central and strong idea that remains out of discussion: the Russians are coming (again). The other idea being pushed into the collective mind is that alternative news sources are not trustworthy, you never know whats true and whats a lie, unless authoritative media says it. Finally, the Washington Post was used to deliver an inherently defamatory and blatantly false accusation on a number of independent news outlets by the anonymous Propornot, some of those independent media were fairly reputed. The Post was also used as a prominent mouthpiece for intelligence sources without questioning or skepticism, establishing what hundreds of other sources would later repeat as news, quite diligently.

1	WASHINGTON, DCIn a near-unanimous vote Monday, 434 members of the House and all 100 senators voiced their approval of $250 billion. 'My fellow members of Congress, $250 billion is an incredibly vast sum of money,' U.S. Rep. Dennis Rehberg (R-MT) said. 'That much money is totally awesome.' House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the lone dissenter, disagreed with Rehberg's assessment, saying that, unless the money was stacked on a table in one-dollar bills, it was 'pretty cool,' but not 'awesome.' 
2	WARNING: Frightening Footage Of Shariah NoWeve all heard the liberal media repeatedly deny the existence of no-go zones. Still, evidence supporting their existence continues to challenge this assertion. There have been several reported instances where Christians have been denied their rights to free speech and expression by the Muslim community. In one incident in Dearborn, Muslims ended up pushing, shoving and hurling objects that included bottles, eggs, and rocks at Christians. Still, officials refused to intervene in the incident. You are a danger to the public safety, one official had the nerve to tell the Christian protestors. I would assume two hungry angry Muslim children throwing bottles would be more of a threat than a few guys with signs, one Christian man pointed out. Yet, that was not the case, and the Christian preaches were thrown out of the event. Watch the video below and tell us what you thinkhas the system started ignoring constitutional law to protect Muslims? document.write( '<iframe allowfullscreen src='https://iframe.reembed.com?plid=3041_3896_3451e3751b6d4b98bd1158a8001227ad&#038;vid=vnJBW49afzg&#038;provider=youtube&#038;type=youtube&#038;width=500&#038;height=311&#038;t='+ document.title.toString() +'&#038;d='+ ((document.getElementsByName('description')[0] != undefined) ? document.getElementsByName('description')[0].content : '') +'' width='500' height='311' frameborder='0'></iframe>' ); 
1	Local resident Joanne Cobb, 43, was disappointed Monday when family members failed to comment on her new mastectomy, which she received during a noon appointment while her husband was at work and her three children were at school. 'I mean, I look completely different,' said Cobb, who had nearly five inches trimmed from her right breast. 'I didn't expect them to make a huge fuss, but a little recognition would've been nice.' Cobb added that, if this is the kind of reaction she can expect, she might as well cancel her cervical exam next Thursday. 
2	3 Star General Claims Muslim Brotherhood Has Infiltrated The White House As we all know, Obama has several times cited his support of what he calls the religion of peace. Now, some are arguing that his relationship with Islam expands farther than we could have imagined. According to an active 3-star General, Obama has already let the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrate the White House. U.S. Army Lieutenant General William Jerry Boykin has argued that individuals associated with the Muslim Brotherhood hold security clearances in both the Pentagon and the Department of Defense, reports Brietbart. The reports also indicate the Boykin went on to claim that Obama has discretely allowed members of the Brotherhood to infiltrate every major federal agency. What do you think of Boykins claims? 
2	BREAKING: Devastating Photos Of Marco Rubios Past Come Back To Haunt Him The race to become to Republican Presidential Candidate is heating up, and getting uglier than ever. The character of the candidates has come under question, and theyre being forced to answer questions about their past. According to CNNs Carol Costello, Trump supports Diamond and Silk recently questioned accusations about Marco Rubios past, including that he used to attend gay foam parties, and that he was arrested in 1989 at what is known as a homosexual park. When I look at Marco Rubio, Marco Rubio told us to Google Donald Trump, but I did one better, they commented. I Googled him and when I Googled him, you know, he owes America and the gay community an apology. It sounds like he may have had a gay lifestyle in his past! Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
2	Muslim Refugees Attacked After They Opened There Home To Them Sometimes you have to learn lessons the hard way. That was the case for liberal couple Andrew and Rae Wartnaby, who decided to open their home to Muslim refugees despite the concerns of many of their friends. It did not take long for their plan to fire. The Wartnabys made headlines when they opened their 50-acre farm in South Africa to 143 Muslim refugees who were supposedly fleeing from oppression in the Middle East. Now, just months after opening their home, theyre facing death threats from the very same people they attempted to helped. Reports indicate that the Wartnabys were attacked in their home one morning last week. They were told that Andrew would be killed if he did not immediately leave the property. The conflict was sparked after the Muslim residents accused the couple of not helping them to be relocated back home or to another country. It was clear that the refugees expected the couple to provide them with visas and passports. I immediately asked if everyone is okay, but they kept shouting that tonight was my night and they will kill me, Andrew later told reporters. I havent slept since then. When we took everyone in, we said we would try and help, which we have, he continued. But they feel like it has been too long and we let them down. I have asked that group to leave my farm, but they refuse to and to be honest, I dont know what is going to happen. All I know is that I dont want to be murdered tonight. What do you think? Is it ridiculous that Obama continues to deny any threat in taking Muslim refugees, when there are numerous examples of how wrong things can go? 
2	Director Of National Intelligence Admits To Hillary CoverOn Christmas Eve, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released 16 documents incriminating Hillary Clinton. These heavily redacted emails discussed the Benghazi attacks and American terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki. Much of the script was blacked out. Other emails include periodic press clippings about the state of Benghazi in the years after the incident, which were meant to give staffers situational awareness. Another document released Thursday is a memo to the State Department that shows the DNI signed off on a proposal to revoke al-Awlakis U.S. passport about seven and a half months before he was killed by the U.S. in a 2011 drone strike in Yemen. News that al-Awlakis passport was revoked by the State Department before he was killed was reported back in 2012. In the 2011 memo, released Thursday, the DNI told the State Department that it concurs with the proposal to revoke the U.S. passport of Anwar Nasser al-Aulaqi. A previously released Justice Department memo from that time found that the government did not see any constitutional problems with killing al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen, because of his alleged leadership roles with al Qaeda. The Hill The DNI released these emails because of proactive disclosure, a part of the Freedom of Information Act. People on social media are outraged because of the timing of this email. It was sent out at a time that had as little news traffic as possible. Hillary is guilty, and needs to be punished accordingly. Should Hillary serve life in prison? 
1	Local resident Gary Ingram, 28, spent more than a quarter of an hour transforming a wet, grayish pile of canned tuna fish into something he would actually put in his mouth, sources said Monday. 'Gotta have some pickles in there,' Ingram said after draining the flaccid, oil-soaked fish and adding mayonnaise, red onions, and various other condiments to help mask its actual flavor. 'And you can't have a tuna sandwich without some chopped celery and a couple of shots from the ol' Tabasco bottle.' Ingram reportedly would have needed an additional 55 minutes of preparation time to make the tuna fish into something he would feel comfortable serving to a group of friends.

3	How Did a Russian Machine Gun Wind up on an American Tank?By Joshua Krause And that means that the battlefield of tomorrow is going to be filled peculiar situations, much like the following: Earlier this month, Shia militiamen in Iraq dropped off an American-supplied Abrams tank at a US-supported repair facility where workers were surprised to find an attached Russian machine gun plus Iranian ammo, Defense News has learned. The MIA1 main battle tank one of 146 frontline tanks the US sold to Baghdad was transported through the Green Zone to a US-supported Iraqi service facility at al-Muthanna that was established as part of the Pentagons Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program. The tank was equipped with a Russian .50-caliber machine gun and Iranian-stamped 12.75-mm ammunition, according to a source at the facility. Once all the ammo was removed, as per procedure, by Iraqi personnel, we noticed Iranian markings on the back of the shell casings. Seems they put a Russian machine gun with Iranian ammunition on an Abrams tank. Aside from the absurdity of the situation, this says a lot about Americas current position in the Middle East. For starters, its important to note that the US never gave the Shia militias permission to use these tanks, because they are backed by Iran. Every piece of equipment that we sell to Iraq comes with stipulations, and this a massive violation of those agreements. However, this incident was no accident. Its highly unlikely that Iraqi forces would let one of these vehicles slip away unless they wanted it to. So why would they do this? Because they are incapable of fighting ISIS on their own, even with the backing of the United States government (for obvious reasons). They need these foreign backed militias to fight ISIS, because the people trained by our government are incompetent. And, really, this is just a small sign of a much bigger shift in the Iraqi government. Since the US has been completely useless in the fight against ISIS, they are turning to the Russian-Iranian alliance for help. Iraqi officials, frustrated with the pace and depth of the U.S. military campaign against Islamic State, have said they will lean heavily on Washingtons former Cold War rival Russia in the battle against the Sunni Muslim jihadists. Two Russian one-star generals are stationed at the intelligence center in Baghdad, according to an Iraqi official who asked not to be named. Zamili, a leading Shiite Muslim politician, said each of the four member countries has six members in the intelligence sharing and security cooperation cell, which holds meetings in Baghdads fortified Green Zone that once housed the headquarters of the U.S. occupation. We find it extremely useful, the Iraqi official said. The idea is to formalize the relationship with Iran, Russia and Syria. We wanted a full-blown military alliance. Its difficult to express how big of a deal this is. For the longest time, the Iraqi government has served as little more than a forward operating base for US interests, and now theyve essentially ditched their benefactor, in exchange for some real help. And why shouldnt they? Weve been Iraqs biggest threat for decades. We helped fund and equip Saddam Hussein, their most ruthless dictator in recent memory. We invaded and bombed their country to dust on two separate occasions. We managed their country so poorly that we created a power void which allowed ISIS to flourish. Then we sold their country out to ISIS by funding and training them in the hopes that they would topple Assad, and we didnt care about how much damage they would do to Iraq in the process. So ditching us for the Russians and the Iranians is probably the best decision that Iraq has ever made, because the US doesnt make allies. We just find countries that we can use and abuse over and again. We are the global equivalent to a sociopath. You can expect incidents like we saw with the Abrams tank, to become more frequent in the future. Its no coincidence that Russian and Iranian supplies are showing up in the vehicles we sold to Iraq. They need real help if they dont want their country to turn into a Mad Max film set in the next ten years. Theyre not quite ready to completely sever the cord with us, so they cant allow the Russians and the Iranians to openly train and equip their soldiers (which they desperately need). So instead they have to settle for letting their unregulated militias do the heavy lifting. These proxy forces give them a degree of plausible deniability when they need help from their new allies. Consider this the new state of affairs. Not only are our allies slowly stepping away from us, but even the countries that we utterly conquered are escaping the grasp of our government.

2	VIDEO: Black American Has Harsh Message For Race Rioters At the wake of the death of black teenager Michael Brown, the city of St. Louis has been experiencing high levels of violence and riots. Now, the liberal media has taken the opportunity to politicize the issue and discuss race. Meanwhile, the family of Brown has asked that everyone simply stop the violence and give them time to mourn their loss. And there are a handful of Americans who are voicing their opinion about the nature of the shooting and rioting. Now, one black mans video on YouTube with a message to the black community and rioters is starting to go viral. The video calls for the black community to stop blaming the police and start taking accountability for their own actions. Watch the video below and let us know what you think. 
1	More than a year and a half after the conflict began, Americans across the country confirmed Monday that, having come this far without displaying any discernible interest whatsoever in the ongoing uprising in Syria, they are now determined to finish the job. Despite recent reports of increasingly rampant acts of violence carried out by President Bashar al-Assads forces, millions in the United States reportedly remain totally dedicated to ignoring the plight of Syrias 22 million residents and will continue to do so until the task is complete. Ive gone almost two full years without paying any attention to Syria, and by God, Im sure as hell not about to start now, said Denver-based computer scientist Jake Lingard, explaining that whenever he sees an article about the war-torn country on the Internet, he immediately navigates to a different website. I made a commitment when this whole thing started to completely ignore stories about thousands of innocent people being massacred in their homes by their own government, and I intend to make good on that commitment. Hell, I made it this far, Lingard added. 'Might as well go all the way with it.' Having already shown nothing but total apathy toward estimates of Syrian casualties that now exceed 25,000, many Americans stressed their determination to stay strong and remain inattentive in the face of news that more than 400,000 Syrians have been forced to flee their country and roughly 2.5 million people are in desperate need of humanitarian aid. The U.S. populace also proudly confirmed that it still hasnt caved in after reading headlines about the discovery of mass graves containing dozens of dead civilians, or news of air strikes hitting Syrian schools, hospitals, and residential buildings. Many said that even reports of pro-regime militias burning entire towns to the ground have yet to impact their steadfast conviction to never show a shred of sympathy toward the widespread suffering of Syrians. Im in this thing for the long haulyou really think Im going to let a few hundred more horrific and unconscionable events rouse me to action? said 41-year-old financial analyst Ryan Porter, explaining that he will persevere with his disinterest regardless of how dire the crisis becomes. Let me put it this way: If they get democracy or whatever it is theyre fighting for, Im not going to care. If they fail, and theres a nationwide genocide in the process, Im not going to care. Frankly, if the entire country simply ceased to exist tomorrow, I still wouldnt care. Thats the choice Ive made, and Im sticking to it, Porter continued. Even if every single one of them ends up dead. According to a recent poll, 85 percent of Americans said they actually care less about Syria now than they did at the outset of the countrys antigovernment protests; 57 percent admitted to almost caring after they learned of the systematic rape of thousands of Syrian women by troops, but said they were still going to see this whole not-caring thing through; and 30 percent said that while they acknowledge the conflict is a major human rights issue, they will forge ahead with their cold-blooded lack of compassion purely for the sake of consistency, and also because they honestly and truly dont give a shit. Moreover, when presented with reports that thousands of Syrian children are being abducted, imprisoned, tortured, and starved to death, 55 percent of survey respondents silently shrugged their shoulders, while the remaining 45 percent reportedly turned around and quickly walked away. I know literally nothing about this situation, and I intend on keeping it that way, 29-year-old Rockford, IL resident Daniel Greene said. I dont know what theyre fighting over; I dont know the name of the Syrian president or prime minister or whoever that guy is; I dont know what the people fighting him want; I dont know what an Arab Spring is, nor do I want to; and to be honest, I dont even know where Syria is. Its in the Middle East, right? Actually, never mind, Greene quickly added. I dont really give a shit. At press time, sources confirmed that millions of readers skipped past this story immediately after seeing the word Syria in the headline. 
3	Survival Healthcare: 5 Things You Can Do Now to Promote Medical Self-CareGaye Levy, Contributor In a very worst case scenario, would you have the stamina and health to leave the comforts of your home with only the clothes on your back, a bug-out-bag and whatever else you could physically carry? Answer honestly are you healthy enough to do that? I ask these questions today not to chide you to lose ten pounds or to take on a rigorous exercise routine. Instead I ask them so that you will think about your own health in terms of those things you can do now to become accomplished at medical self-care so that you will stay healthy and stay fit even when professional medical care is not readily available. But first . . . What the heck is medical self-care? Or, put another way, simply asking yourself if you need to see a health care provider or weather you can you apply a home treatment instead. Medical self-care can be as simple as taking an over-the-counter medication for a headache or securing a sprained ankle with an ace bandage. The important thing is that medical self-care means you are an active participant in your own health. And for that, you need to take a proactive stance and take control over your own well-being. 5 Rules of Medical Self Care that will Help Insure Survival in Adverse Conditions 1. Listen to your body since you know yourself best. When you do not feel well, take care of yourself. Since the beginning of time, humans have suffered from mild illnesses and simply have taken it easy until the illness passes. These days, however, with computers, the Internet, cell phones and other gizmos, a lot of sick time is spent in the digital world instead getting real rest. If you are going to be your optimal self, when feeling unwell, take the time to slow down for a few hours or a day, and give yourself time to heal. 2. Stay abreast of common first aid procedures and utilize readily available resources to stay knowledgeable of viable solutions to everyday medical maladies. These days, with the resources available, much day to day doctoring can be done at home. Things like taking ones vital signs and blood pressure or testing ones urine are easily and safely accomplished at home. Learning to do these things now without reliance on a health professional will allow to take control of your own wellness no matter what happens in our society. 3. Understand that being healthy and being well means more than simply being disease free. The spread between wellness and illness is large with a lot of room in between. Prevention means focusing on good health while you are still on the wellness side of the spectrum rather than waiting to act only when disease or disability occurs. 4. The goal of any health care system should be to help people stay healthy by giving them the tools that they need to take care of themselves. You need to make that happen yourself. To a large extent, individual practitioners still feel this way but for one reason or another, have had to subjugate those feelings as part of their alliance with large group practices. These larger practices many of which are huge conglomerates have allegiance to big pharma and Wall Street interests. This means that patient care comes secondary to making money. The solution? Individuals need to take more responsibility themselves through knowledge and through healthy lifestyle choices. And when we do need medical care, we need to seek out healthcare workers who put our own needs first, above and beyond those of their employer or the greedsters who only care about money and huge year-end bonuses. 5. Genetics and environmental conditions aside, we all have a degree of control over our health and wellness. Eat a healthy diet and embrace an active lifestyle. The human body has incredible healing powers if given half a chance to fix itself. In order to restore itself, however, we need to treat the body with respect by feeding it a healthy diet and giving it regular exercise. In addition, from a mental and spiritual point of view, we need to provide ourselves with a meaningful and strategic life. Remember this: practicing medical self care is one more way of taking control of your life. The Final Word It is somewhat of a travesty to think of our health as something that can abused over time knowing that a doctor at some point down the road with fix us up just like a mechanic will tune up the engine in our aging automobile. Doesnt it make more sense to simply perform ongoing preventative maintenance? A few good print resources to put you on the road to successful medical self care are The Doom and Bloom Survival Medicine Handbook,Where There Is No Doctor,and the Physicians Desk Reference. Where There is no Doctor can also be downloaded for free from the Hesperian Foundation. Read other articles by Gaye Levy here.

2	BREAKING: Obama Subpoenad To Court For Multiple Felonies An order has come out that may finally cause President Barack Obama to own up to his numerous lies to America. According to reports, a judge ordered Obama to appear in court in Atlanta to face a complaint that claims that Obama is not a natural-born citizen. It is just one of many lawsuits that have been filed with the same information across the country. However, this marks the first time the president has actually been required to respond. An aide to Obama is claiming that any attempt to involved the president personally will fail. He also claimed that the complaints going around the country have absolutely no merit. Still, evidence and questions pointing to the contrary continue to arise. The hearing is set to take place before an administrative judge. According to reports, the Deputy Chief Judge denied a motion by the presidents lawyer to quash the subpoena that calls for the presidents appearance. What do you think will happen? 
3	Did Cervical Cancer Vaccine Kill a 3 Year-Old Boy?Cassandra Anderson, Contributor Chace was diagnosed with myeloid leukemia at age 2 and died just last month. His devastated parents suspected that the Gardasil vaccine was to blame for his illness. Merck does not list leukemia as a possible side effect of the Gardasil vaccine. However, Merck has failed to test its vaccine for links to cancer. Carcinogenicity Merck admits in their Prescribing Information for Gardasil that they perform zero tests for carcinogenicity. In other words, Gardasil was deemed safe when it was compared to an aluminum additive that is neuro-toxic. The true risks of the vaccine are unknown because both substances showed adverse reactions. The remaining 2 studies included an impure saline solution with other additives as the placebo while the other one had no placebo control group. Genotoxicity Merck admits in their literature that they skip testing for genotoxic mutations. This is odd because Gardasil is a 
1	Following a controversial broadcast of CBS's The Big Bang Theory during which vaginal penetration could be seen on-screen for more than a minute, the FCC announced Friday it would not levy a fine against the network, saying the show was 'a strong episode,' and the cast and crew of the sitcom deserved some leeway to achieve their creative vision. 'While the extended full-frontal shot of Howard's penis repeatedly entering Bernadette's exposed vagina is fairly explicit by most network TV standards, we made an exception, seeing as this was the season finale and the scene was sort of necessary to advance the story,' said FCC chairman Julius Genachowski, who claimed the show's 8 p.m. airtime meant most kids were probably asleep anyway. 'Also, a lot of the funniest jokes wouldn't have made sense without actually showing the act of penetration all the way through to Howard ejaculating, so we figured we'd bend the rules just this once.' Genachowski added that it wasn't as if the two characters were smoking cigarettes while they were copulating or anything bad like that. 
1	WINSTON-SALEM, NCA half-naked Patrick Fuller was thoroughly creeped out Saturday, when fellow Wake Forest University senior Alicia Echols suggested that the two 'make love.' Patrick Fuller 'There we were, messing around on the couch in her apartment's living room,' Fuller said. 'Things were heating up, so I asked if we should go back to her bedroom in case her roommate came home. That's when she stood up and said, 'Make love to me, Patrick.'' 'It was really weird,' continued Fuller, who met Echols three weeks ago and had gone on two dates with her prior to Saturday. 'I mean, Alicia's definitely not the type of girl who'd say, 'Let's fuck.' But still: 'Make love to me'? That's very different than saying, 'Let's have sex.'' 'What did she mean by 'love'?' Fuller asked. 'We're not even dating. I mean, we've gone out a few times, so I guess we're sort of technically casually dating, in a way, but it's not like she's my girlfriend.' Fuller said he was further creeped out when, upon entering the bedroom, Echols told him she was 'ready to take you inside.' 'I was thinking, this is getting kinda heavy,' Fuller said. 'We were just gonna have some sex, and for some reason, she's talking about it like our two souls are about to intertwine or something.' Fuller said he and Echols had kissed on their previous two dates, but nothing else. He also noted that he thought they 'weren't even hitting it off all that well,' which made Echols' behavior Saturday all the more surprising. 'The moment I got to Alicia's apartment, things seemed strange,' Fuller said. 'She had all these scented candles lit, and there was a bottle of wine to go with the spaghetti she'd made. The radio was even turned to the classical-music station. It was really inappropriately romantic. We're not, like, deep, impassioned lovers or anything like that.' 'I was totally up for having some fun,' Fuller said. 'But then, all of a sudden, she starts talking about how 'incredibly special this night is' and how she's 'ready to open myself up to you.' I totally wasn't prepared. Did she expect me to say stuff like, 'Darling, you look radiant tonight'? Was I supposed to bring flowers? You don't do that when you're just having a little fling.' Fuller said he doesn't know what the future holds for him and Echols. For now, he simply plans to wait and see if 'everything is cool.' 'I don't know how things will go next time I see her. There were definitely some weird vibes Saturday night, that's for sure,' Fuller said. 'The sex was still pretty good, though.' 
3	Cyberattacks on U.S. Banks an Excuse for War?Keith Johnson, Contributor Word of compromised computer banking systems first surfaced in late September, when Wells Fargo, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase and other financial institutions reported falling victim to computer network attacks that temporarily blocked many of their customers from engaging in online banking. Since then, Capital One, BBT, HSBC and Regions banks have also reported experiencing similar disruptions to their websites. An obscure groupidentifying itself as the Izz ad-din al-Qassam Cyber Fightersclaimed responsibility for the first wave of attacks as retaliation for the amateurish Innocence of Muslims film that mocked the Islamic prophet Mohammed and sparked protests throughout the Middle East. However, almost immediately following this announcement, unidentified U.S. national security officials allegedly told NBC News that this claim was just a cover story for the Iranian governments cyberterrorism operations. Similarly, on October 12, another unnamed U.S. official told The Wall Street Journal that the recent attacks against U.S. banks bore signatures traced to a network of fewer than 100 Iranian computer-security specialists at universities and network security companies in Iran. Despite the governments claims, tracing a computer hack to its original source is far from conclusive. In most cases, if the attacker is highly skilled, it is nearly impossible to clearly determine the origin of an event, and even more difficult to ascertain if the attack was state-sponsored or instigated by individual actors, writes Anthony M. Freed at Security Bistro. The use of multiple proxies, Internet routing tricks, employing compromised systems belonging to a third party and the use of spoofed [Internet computer] addresses can all be easily coordinated to give the appearance that an attack is originating far from the actual source. Cesar Cerrudo, an information security specialist and chief technology officer for IO/Active Labs, is also at odds with the governments allegations. Its very easy to attack some group of people or some country and make it look like it came from another country, Cerrudo said in a recent post for network security magazine Dark Reading. You can engage them into cyberwar via a third party. As an example, Cerrudo cites a 2010 hack that targeted Chinas Baidu search engine by a group claiming to be the Iranian Cyber Army. The Chinese were surprised that Iranians had attacked them, said Cerrudo. After that, the Chinese attacked Iran. But it turns out it wasnt actually Iran behind the Baidu attack. Someone else attacked the Chinese to get them to attack the Iranians. (Some say the so-called Iranian Cyber Army is or was a group of Russian hackers based outside Iran.) Although no one can be sure who perpetrated the recent hacks on U.S. banks, many are asking the obvious question: Cui bono? (Who benefits?) With President Obama ready to sign an executive order to control the Internet in the name of cybersecurity, could it be more obvious that this cyberattack is a total setup? asked Eric Blair on the popular website selfnews Post. Especially since all versions of Internet control legislation have failed to pass in normal government channels both domestically and internationally, he added. Susanne Posel of another popular website, Occupy Corporatism, wrote: Framing Iran for the American banking systems computer failure kills two birds with one stone. Not only would the banking cartels be able to shut down all banking computers (and simultaneously siphon the remaining money in their customers accounts) but also use this fake cyberattack to engage the American public against Iran and justify their highly anticipated military strike. In a recent edition of the computer magazine Information Security, other theories were explored that have received little attention in the media. Among the possible culprits considered are hacktivist groups like Anonymous and Russian crime syndicates. But in terms of motive and capability, Israelis top the list. Not only do they consider Iran to be the greatest threat to their existence, but theyve also demonstrated a proficiency in cyberwarfare through the creation of sophisticated viruses that have been successfully used against Irans infrastructure. Recently, a new virus dubbed mini-Flame has targeted banks in Lebanon and Iran. Mike Rivero, a former NASA employee and webmaster of the website What Really Happened, suspects that Israel is behind the recent attacks, and believes Israel will likely follow it up with a complete take-down of U.S. financial computers that will falsely be blamed on Iran. This also gets Wall Street and Washington, D.C. off the hook, he said, because now the financial meltdown is an act of war, rather than the result of decades of Wall Street crime and corruption and the predations of private central banks.

3	20 Years in Jail and $1 Million Fines For Gun SpeechBy RedSilverJ 
3	Hope in the holiday seasonJon Rappoport These people are crossing the bridge, so to speak, to see whats on the other side. The question is, do they stay there once theyve crossed over, or do they try to retreat back to their former positions as ordinary citizens with dimmed perception? Its quite a trick to a) maintain the status of normal person while b) seeing through the enormous ruse. In fact, in the long run, its impossible. Therefore, the retreat backwards involves self-induced mind control. In other words, the enlightened person un-enlightens himself. He re-educates himself to accept all the lies he saw through. He rejoins the church he once quit. And he does so with a fervor. Not long ago, I spoke with a college professor who detailed that journey: This led to a clash with officials at my school. I realized my neck was on the line. I had to make a choice. I decided to survive. I went back to accepting what I knew was false. The process by which I did this wasyou could call it self-administered brainwashing. Im certainly not proud of it. But thats what I did The teacher went on to tell me he knew a number of other professors at various colleges whod done the same thing. They werent proud of it, either, but theyd made their bed. In our society, our culture, the see-saw is swinging back and forth. People are discovering truth, and then they are denying its implications. In some cases, these people work for companies they know are part of the problem. Others work for government agencies. Others are in the military or the police. Theyre caught in the middle. This is one reason why we live in a Surveillance State, one reason why psychiatrists have become far more important authority figures, one reason why dependence on government is being pushed as never before. The intention is to drive people back into their lives as obedient citizens, as opposed to free people who are seeing more and more of the truth. Television, of course, plays a central role in this effort. Aside from what is laughingly called the news, the endless proliferation of crime dramas and sports coverage fulfills the desire for well-defined outcomes: Good triumphs over evil. The good guys arrest the bad guys. One team wins, the other team loses. Its clear-cut. Simple. With relatively few exceptions, things resolve the way theyre supposed to. If the fictional hero is fighting against the establishment, its revealed hes really battling a rogue element. So the television audience can rest easy. Its all okay. The authorities are on the side of the angels. People caught in the middle tend to see retreat as their best option. They first looked for some stable platform on which they could stand, in order to send the old order to its demise, but not finding it, they opted for safety. However, the itch and discomfort and the moral crisis dont dissolve. They remain. It is in this tension that new ideas and new solutions are born. We are brought up to believe that if something is wrong, there is a prescribed solution; if not, nothing was really wrong. This is the big lie. This is a prominent piece of mind control. Its successful because official bodies are full of prescribed solutions. They appoint themselves princes of solutions. They breathe and excrete solutions every day. Promoting and bringing about a wider gulf between the rich and the poor is another official strategy designed to force people to fall in line. Those on the edge of sinking into poverty are less likely to step out and defend conspiracy researchers and citizen reporters. So its all the more unusual and forceful that we are seeing this relentless building wave of anti-establishment research. It means that people all over the world are fed up with the status quo and the official scenarios put in place to protect it. There was a time, 30 years ago, when the best way I could get information out was to give lectures, have them taped on audio cassette, and send the tapes to friends and allies. Fortunately, that time has passed. Now, thousands and thousands of researchers are being read, seen, and heard online. On some days, it doesnt seem like were winning. But we are. Keep it up. Find ways to cross that bridge from official stories to the truth and stay there. No one said it would be easy. Its always tempting to sink back into a trance. But we do have an inherent desire to see things through. Its strong. Its compelling. Its real. Some years ago, a painter friend sent me the following note. Its implications are universal: I used to be a house divided. I knew the work I wanted to do wouldnt become popular in the marketplace. I was torn in half. I knew how to please the powers-that-be. But then it occurred to me: what would happen if I catered to the dominant culture and still failed to prosper? That would be the ultimate irony. If I went my own way, to the hilt, and did the work I wanted to do, I would have freedom, and the joy of looking at what I had produced. I wouldnt go to sleep every night wondering what the hell I was doing. I would know. That spirit is very hard to kill. In the long run, its impossible to destroy it. It keeps resurfacing, like a dream that is more real than waking life.

1	In an attack denounced by Crestwood Elementary School teachers as 'shameful' and 'thoroughly uncalled-for,' educational puppet Donny Dungarees was pelted with crayons during a fourth-grade assembly Monday. Donny Dungarees, moments before he was struck down. Dungarees, a 26-inch-tall felt puppet with orange yarn-hair, sustained minor injuries in the attack, including a torn plaid kerchief and crayon marks to the face and neck. Dungarees' puppet pals Peggy Pipecleaners and Friendly Policeman Henry were unharmed. Three 10-year-olds were held for questioning in connection with the brutal puppet-pelting, which occurred during the presentation of 'It's Okay To Say, 'No Way!'' The anti-drug play was performed at 10 a.m. in the multi-purpose room by The Wondermakers, a three-member Everett-area puppetry troupe committed to spreading positive messages of self-esteem and good behavior among youngsters. 'When I walked in, it was like a riot had broken out,' Crestwood vice-principal Warren Knauf said. 'Children were shouting, the learning corner was littered with broken crayons, and crushed milk containers were flying through the air. Coach Cranmer had to be called in from the gymnasium to blow his whistle to restore order.' Though the exact cause of the outburst is not known, some authorities suspect that noted problem students Tim Messman, Kevin Isbister and Nicky Brazeau may have instigated the incident. According to teacher Georgia Sluman, the three boys began exhibiting inappropriate behavior shortly after Dungarees and his companions took the stage. 'As soon as those puppets came out of the trunk, they started to snicker and whisper,' Sluman said of the trio, who last week were caught plundering the Castaway Book Club's treasure chest of prizes. 'From my vantage point, it definitely looked like they were being disrespectful to our guests. Whatever they were saying, they most certainly did not have their listening ears on.' Friendly Policeman Henry answers reporters' questions regarding Monday's puppet-pelting. Approximately 10 minutes into the performance, just moments after Pipecleaners told Dungarees she was considering trying drugs to be more popular with the other kids, the barrage of crayons began. Friendly Policeman Henry initially tried to defuse the situation by waving his hands and saying, 'Some of our new friends aren't paying attention, Donny.' But despite such efforts, the assault only escalated, as the airborne crayons were followed by erasers, fruit rinds and several pencils. A majority of the projectiles struck the puppets' hard plastic eyes or rebounded off their soft velour torsos, whipping the crowd of fourth-graders into a frenzy. The incident was not the first to mar a special assembly at Crestwood Elementary. In October 1997, a performance by the instrumental group Eight Autoharps & A Guiro was twice interrupted by cries of 'Boring!' from the back of the auditorium. This past March, a man dressed as Freddie The Fire Safety Frog was shoved from behind by a third-grader invited onstage to participate in a 'Stop, Drop & Roll' demonstration. School principal Stanley Rumsell has vowed to get to the bottom of Monday's crayon-throwing incident. 'The Wondermakers were guests at our school,' said Rumsell in a 3 p.m. address delivered to the entire fourth grade before they were allowed to line up for the buses. 'Do we want visitors to go away thinking that students at Crestwood are not grown-up enough to sit quietly and listen? Maybe we should just sit at our desks all day long instead of getting to enjoy fun new activities.' Rumsell has urged those responsible for the attack to step forward. If no admission of guilt is made, he warned that all fourth-graders will be kept inside during lunch recess for the next month, making everyone suffer for the inappropriate behavior of just a handful of disrespectful students. Rumsell said fourth-graders can thank their misbehaving classmates, not him, if such a punishment is handed down. 
3	New Rebel Chemical Weapons Attack in SyriaBrandon Turbeville As RT reports, the chemical weapons came in the form of an artillery shell which was detonated near the Syria/Turkey border in the city of Ras al-Ayn al-Hasakah. Kurdish defense forces were the apparent targets of the chemical weapons detonation. According to Kurdish fighters on the ground, after the shell was detonated, a yellow smoke began emanating and many of them began experiencing symptoms of severe chemical intoxication. (Source) Fighting has raged in Ras al-Ayn al-Hasakah for at least two days and Kurdish forces have been successful at repelling attacks by death squads seeking to overrun the area. During the fighting, the Kurdish Defense Forces have managed to kill 28 death squad members belonging to both al-Qaeda-linked Jobhat al Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The Kurdish population has come to resent the death squads as much other Syrians, even though the Kurds initially attempted to remain as neutral as possible since the beginning of the conflict. Recently, however, Kurds have been mobilizing armed militias in an attempt to defend their territory and neighborhoods from rebel assaults. If reports coming from Al-Mayadeen are accurate, this would be at least the third instance in which chemical weapons have been used by death squads in Syria, with the previous two having initially been blamed on President Bashar al-Assad and the Syrian government by Western nations and media propagandists. 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. Aside from the question of false flag attacks, however, there remains an abundance of evidence that demonstrates the possession of chemical weapons by the death squads as well as their desire and means to use them. Keep in mind the report provided by Dale Gavlak of Mint Press which revealed admission by Syrian death squads that they themselves were responsible for thechemical weapons attack in Ghouta and the fact 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 December 2012, a video was obtained by the Syria Tribune and subsequently released in their report and posted on YouTube which allegedly shows the NATO-backed death squads testing chemical weapons on lab rabbits. As the Syria Tribune describes the video, The Syria Tribune also comments that Judging from the rabbits reaction, the gas must be a nerve agent. The number of containers, if not a bluff, indicates ability to produce a considerable amount of this gas. Deployment could be by means of a smoke generator placed in the target area, an explosion, possibly a suicide one, of a chemmedcar, or simply by using a humidifier. In March, 2013, yet another YouTube video was released which contained a clip of a second test of chemical weapons on captive rabbits by the death squads. Likewise, on August 27, 2013, Jerome Corsi of World Net Daily released an article detailing photos, audio recordings, and clear video evidence of death squads possessing and using chemical weapons. Many of these videos can be seen linked or embedded in my own article Total Fabrication Laid Bare In March To War With Syria. Thus, if the reports coming out of Lebanon are indeed accurate, then the latest war crime committed by the foreign-backed death squads should serve as yet another nail in the coffin of both the cause of the rebels and Western credibility.

1	Smiling at her good fortune following the unexpected discovery, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was reportedly pleasantly surprised Friday upon finding an old $20,000 donation check in her coat pocket. I was just headed out the door and was digging around for my keys, and I just happened to find a 20-grand check I had completely forgotten about crumpled up in there, said Clinton, who noted the $20,000 contribution was stuffed way at the bottom of her pocket, and speculated that it had probably been down there for about eight years. Sometimes, Ill find a few $1,000 checks in my pants pockets or in the couch cushions, but finding $20,000 is actually a nice little pick-me-up. Its just a delightful way to start the day. Clinton added that she would probably use the unexpected find to treat herself to something nice, like a round of harsh antiBernie Sanders attack ads in Wisconsin. 
1	Forcing the grisly and rarely acknowledged practices into the public eye, a group of activists posted several disturbing videos online this week that expose how most meat products are eaten, sources confirmed. Secretly filmed on cell phones by individuals who reportedly witnessed the carnage firsthand, the exceedingly graphic footage depicts the gruesome ways in which beef, pork, and poultry are consumed all across the United States, detailing the gory process by which millions of these products are crammed into peoples jaws, rapidly torn to pieces, and ground into a pulpy, uniform slurry in a matter of seconds. The content of these videos is truly appalling, said advocate Kelly Midthun, who personally recorded unnerving instances of chicken tenders, steak tips, and other meat items being clamped between two rows of teeth and messily shredded one after the other with revolting rapidity. Just look at the horrifying images captured on film: Sausage links are severed in half; a medium rare ribeye is quickly reduced to a red, bloody puddle of juices; buffalo wings are rent apart, with their remnant bones and sinews collected in a grotesque pile. Its enough to make you sick. ABOVE: Watch the disturbing video [warning: graphic content] The sounds alone are stomach-turning, Midthun continued. All that gnashing, tearing, and labored breathing will haunt my thoughts for a long time. According to viewers, the grainy, furtively obtained videos present a stark picture of the horrors of mass meat consumption in the U.S., with many voicing their revulsion at images of spare ribs having their muscle tissue noisily yanked from the bone, cold cuts being ingested whole, and one particularly chilling episode in which a pulled pork sandwich is jarringly pulverized by slashing incisors as a combination of grease, saliva, and tangy St. Louisstyle barbecue sauce oozes out and collects in sizable pools on a chin and shirtfront. The videos, which were filmed in unsanitary, poorly lit locations such as living rooms, fast food restaurant dining areas, and parked cars, have reportedly repulsed viewers with horrific sequences in which animal skin, fat, and gristle is sent flying as meat is sliced with razor-sharp blades or even pried apart by bare hands. Given the extremely graphic nature of the footage, many viewers said the videos left them feeling deeply troubled and physically nauseated. That video is so awfulI havent been able to make it through the whole thing, said Miami resident Kara Gellar, 27, who emphasized that she cant imagine eating meat again after watching a mound of pastrami get caught in an overstuffed mouth and subsequently flushed out with a flood of Sprite Zero. Once it got to the hot dog part, I just had to turn it off. The people who allow thisthis horror to happen ought to be deeply ashamed of themselves. Needless to say, I dont think Ill ever be able to look at a bacon double cheeseburger the same way again, she added. While the video has raised controversy for its explicit content, many have also found themselves concerned for the psychological well-being of food service employees seen in these shocking videos who facilitate the consumption of meat products, all of whom are reportedly forced to witness such traumatic scenes on a daily basis. Specifically, many advocates have expressed worry that such steak house, delicatessen, and buffet laborers will become increasingly desensitized to the constant mutilation of animal products occurring right before their eyes. However, despite the visceral impact of the grisly videos, a number of observers claimed they werent particularly taken aback by the images, with most claiming that such ingestion practices, though they may outwardly appear barbaric or morbid, were ultimately unavoidable. I dont understand why everyones getting so worked up about this video; how did these people think this stuff was eaten? Seattle resident Peter Callahan told reporters, calling the meat consumption process a brutal but necessary step in the food chain. Honestly, it doesnt really bother me. Sure, its not pretty, but we as a species have been eating meat that way for thousands of years. And Im not going to stop eating footlong meatball subs just because someone doesnt like the way it looks, he added.

2	Sheriff Encourages Americans To Buy Guns And Learn How To Use Them According to recent reports, a Sheriff in Arizona has just called on American citizens to acquire firearms and learn how to properly use them in the event of a terrorist attack. I wish we could have a cop in every corner, in every neighborhood, in every schoolwe just cant, Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu told residents a recent news conference. We want a citizen to add to the equation, Babeu continued. Be armed to protect yourself, protect your family until we can get there. These comments are in stark contrast to President Obamas recent reaction to terrorist threats, when he pushed his agenda for increased gun control. We are STRONG defenders of our 2nd Amendment rights, a post from the department continued. We call for Arizona licensed concealed carry permit holders to step up and defend themselves, their families, and others, when faced with an armed attacker prior to law enforcement arrival. Watch the video below and tell us what you think: do we need more leaders to react to threats the way this Sheriff is? 
3	Florida limits Policing for Profit! Gov. Scott signs forfeiture reform bill into lawBy Shira Rawlinson This is a significant first step towards ending civil forfeiture in Florida, said Florida Office Managing Attorney Justin Pearson of the Institute for Justice, which is leading the nationwide effort to end civil forfeiture. Civil forfeiture is one of the most serious assaults on property rights in America and SB 1044 increases protections for innocent property owners in the Sunshine State. The transparency requirements will also provide valuable information that should lead to additional and needed reform in the future. Civil forfeiture laws currently allow law enforcement to seize and keep property even if the owner has never been convicted or charged with a crime. Under existing Florida law, cash, cars and other property can be seized and kept by police if police merely suspectit was used for a crime. The property owner must then either negotiate to get a small portion of their property back or pursue a lengthy and expensive process in court. SB 1044 increases protections for Floridians by: The vast majority of seizures in Florida are for amounts that are far less than the cost of hiring an attorney, Pearson explained. As a result, many innocent Floridians are forced to settle for a small fraction of what was seized because it would literally cost more than the amount that was seized to attempt to get it back. By increasing costs on law enforcement to pursue forfeiture actions, this reform limits law enforcements profit incentive for these abusive practices regarding low-value forfeitures. This bill is the culmination of a two-year push for reform by state legislators, led by Sen. Jeff Brandes, and a bipartisan coalition of public interest groups, led by the Institute for Justice, the James Madison Institute, the National Federation of Independent Business and the ACLU. Gov. Scott signing SB 1044 means that Florida has joined a growing national movement to roll back civil forfeiture. In 2015, New Mexico enacted a landmark law that abolished civil forfeiture entirely. In 2014 and 2015, Minnesota, Nevada, Michigan, Minnesota and Washington, D.C., all passed crucial forfeiture reforms. IJ is working with lawmakers in states around the nation on forfeiture reforms during the 2016 legislative session. Unfortunately, despite the large, bipartisan consensus in favor of reform, the U.S. Department of Justice recently decided to resume its controversial equitable sharing program, whereby state and local authorities partner with the DOJ to pursue civil forfeitures against innocent property owners under lax federal law. Shira Rawlinson is the Assistant Director of Communications for the Institute for Justice where this article first appeared. There has NEVER been an authority or power afforded to police that they have not COMPLETELY abused, so it is nice to see that someone is putting limits on these guys. We see what they are capable of when there is no oversight and zero accountability, and the hundreds of unjustified deaths, beatings and thefts attest to it. The police are professional liars, so they need to be reigned in and given specific guidelines or they will lie and abuse their way around them, as they gave proven they will do in a plethora of cases.

3	Global Food Reserves Have Reached Their Lowest Level In Almost 40 YearsMichael Snyder, Contributor As a result, global food reserves have reached their lowest level in almost 40 years. Experts are warning that if next summer is similar to this summer that it could be enough to trigger a major global food crisis. At this point, the world is literally living from one year to the next. There is simply not much of a buffer left. In the Western world, the first place where we are going to notice the impact of this crisis is in the price of food. It is being projected that overall food prices will risebetween 5 and 20 percent by the end of this year. It is becoming increasingly clear that the world has reached a tipping point. We arent producing enough food for everyone anymore, and food reserves will continue to get lower and lower. Eventually they will be totally gone. The United Nations has issued an unprecedented warning about the state of global food supplies. According to the UN, global food reserves have not been this low since 1974 World grain reserves are so dangerously low that severe weather in the United States or other food-exporting countries could trigger a major hunger crisis next year, the United Nations has warned. Failing harvests in the US, Ukraine and other countries this year have eroded reserves to their lowest level since 1974. The US, which has experienced record heatwaves and droughts in 2012, now holds in reserve a historically low 6.5% of the maize that it expects to consume in the next year, says the UN. Weve not been producing as much as we are consuming. That is why stocks are being run down. Supplies are now very tight across the world and reserves are at a very low level, leaving no room for unexpected events next year, said Abdolreza Abbassian, a senior economist with the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). But the population of the globe is much larger than it was back in 1974. So needless to say, we have a major league problem on our hands. The United States exports more food than anyone else in the world, and so the devastating drought that the U.S. experienced this summer is putting a lot of stress on the entire global food system. According to Reuters, the drought hit U.S. ranchers particularly hard. Many of them had to kill off large portions of their herds because they couldnt afford to feed them any longer. So there was a short-term surge in the supply of meat, but because herds are smaller now in the long-term the supply of meat is going to become much tighter. So expect meat prices to start to go up significantly The worst drought to hit U.S. cropland in more than half a century could soon leave Americans reaching deeper into their pockets to fund a luxury that people in few other countries enjoy: affordable meat. Drought-decimated fields have pushed grain prices sky high, and the rising feed costs have prompted some livestock producers to liquidate their herds. This is expected to shrink the long-term U.S. supply of meat and force up prices at the meat counter. Some analysts are already projecting a world shortage of pork and bacon according to the Los Angeles Times The price of corn a key component in livestock feed and an ingredient in powdered sugar, salad dressing, soda and more catapulted 60% in early summer. A British trade group recently predicted a world shortage of pork and bacon next year, which most analysts interpreted to mean that higher prices are ahead. In the meantime, chickens and turkeys are getting more expensive just in time for the holidays. Already, chicken prices are up 5.3% from a year earlier, while the cost of turkey and other poultry is up 6.9%. Eggs cost 18% more in September than they did a year earlier. Sadly, the truth is that food prices have already been steadily rising in the United States in recent years. We have come to accept this as normal, but these horrible price increases are really squeezing the budgets of middle class families and we certainly dont need food prices to start going up even faster. One man recently came across a grocery receipt that was eight years old. When he compared those prices to what he is paying now he was absolutely stunned 1 can Campbells Vegetable soup was listed as $0.89 Fresh Haddock Fillets were $3.99lb. Now $7.99lb. 4 litres of Skim Milk was $4.59now $7.59. 1 loaf of whole wheat bread was $.99now $2.99. Fresh Green Pepper was $1.99lbnow $3.99lb. Canned tomato juice was $0.99 a cannow $2.29 a can. Many prices had doubled on him in just eight years. Now that food prices are projected to start rising even more rapidly, how soon will it be until food prices double again? Many Americans will be shocked by rising food prices, but at least for now we wont have to deal with actual food shortages like many on the other side of the globe will be soon. At the end of August, the World Bank issued a global hunger warning Food prices rose again sharply threatening the health and well-being of millions of people, said World Bank group president, Jim Yong Kim. Africa and the Middle East are particularly vulnerable, but so are people in other countries where the prices of grains have gone up abruptly. The bank said food prices overall rose by 10% between June and July to leave them 6% up on a year earlier. 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, said Kim. The price of food can mean the difference between life and death in some of the poorest areas of Africa. What some African families face on a daily basis would be absolutely unimaginable to many of us in the Western world. The following example is from a recent article in the Guardian On the other side of the world, Mary Banda, who lives in Mphaka village near Nambuma in Malawi, has had a year during which she has barely been able to feed her children, one of whom has just gone to hospital with malnutrition. Government health worker Patrick Kamzitu says: We are seeing more hunger among children. The price of maize has doubled in the last year. Families used to have one or two meals a day; now they are finding it hard to have one. How would you feel if you only got one meal per day? In many parts of India and in many parts of Africa more than 40 percent of all children have stunted growth due to malnutrition and a lack of clean water. So if your family has enough to eat and drink every day you should be thankful for your blessings. Many are making huge amounts of money through commodity speculation, but by driving up prices they are severely hurting millions of families on the other side of the planet. The following is from a recent article by Heather Stewart The Institute of International Finance has estimated that by the middle of last year, $450bn of financial assets was invested in commodities or derivatives, betting on future price movements. In principle, there would be nothing wrong with financiers moving into the food market if it directed billions of dollars of investment towards expanding production, bringing new land into cultivation and developing new technologies to boost yields. But as the thoroughly mad market for mortgage-backed securities in the run-up to the credit crisis, and the resulting building boom across the US, illustrated very clearly the price signals emerging from the stampeding herds of Wall street can be deeply misleading. In a recent paper, provocatively titled Dont Blame the Physical Markets, the UNs trade and development arm, Unctad, argued that the wall of money flooding into commodities has badly distorted the price signals a well-functioning market should send to producers and consumers. The era of seemingly endless cheap food has come to an end. In future years, there simply will not be enough food for everyone on the globe. Some people are going to go hungry. That is one reason why I am encouraging everyone to start preparing for the coming global food crisis. Some experts are projecting the worst for the years ahead Evan Fraser, author of Empires of Food and a geography lecturer at Guelph University in Ontario, Canada, says: For six of the last 11 years the world has consumed more food than it has grown. We do not have any buffer and are running down reserves. Our stocks are very low and if we have a dry winter and a poor rice harvest we could see a major food crisis across the board. Even if things do not boil over this year, by next summer well have used up this buffer and consumers in the poorer parts of the world will once again be exposed to the effects of anything that hurts production. Let us certainly hope for the best, but let us also prepare as if the absolute worst is headed our way. I am busy preparing. Are you? This article first appeared here at The Truth.

1	Days before he was set to relocate to Denver for work, four-year Chicago resident Paul Marsden lamented Wednesday that he never really took the time to detest the city he called home for nearly half a decade. Its too bad, but I never got to truly despise Chicagos eight-month-long winters, or how the CTA takes forever and doesnt go anywhere you need it to, Marsden told reporters, regretting that he hadnt devoted any time to hating how nearly every bar in the city has several giant flatscreen TVs blaring Bulls, Bears, Cubs, White Sox, or Blackhawks games. Sure, I could go on and on about the noxious cloud of piss and stale vomit that hangs over Wrigleyville, or the faux edginess of Wicker Park, but there are so many other horrible neighborhoods I never got the chance to hate. I guess I always thought thered be time to appreciate how awful they are. Marsden then resolved that when he gets to Denver, hell start hating his new home as soon as he can. 
1	Wracked by years of famine, ethnic strife and political unrest, the Central African nation of Rwanda bought a plant last Thursday in an effort to 'brighten things up.' Rwandan refugees enjoy the cheery new fuchsia (center) that is breathing some much-needed life into the war-torn African nation. 'This should help breathe some life into this nation and put a smile on everyone's face,' Rwandan president Pasteur Bizimungu said of the new fuchsia. 'It is a very pretty plant.' The decision to purchase the plant followed a week-long emergency session in which cabinet members, military strategists and tribal representatives debated the best way to restore Rwanda's struggling economy and revive the flagging spirits of its seven million famine-ravaged citizens. 'The Minister of Defense suggested painting the country pink, and the prime minister suggested new curtains,' Bizimungu said. 'Someone eventually suggested the plant, and we all unanimously agreed.' Though support for the plant purchase was universal, the nation was sharply divided over what type of plant it would be: The nation's Hutus strongly advocated the purchase of a begonia, while Tutsis favored an impatiens, touching off a week of plant-related civil warfare in which more than 200,000 Rwandans were brutally massacred. After a week of fighting, the two sides finally compromised, agreeing upon the fuchsia. On Wednesday, after several days of phone calls to flower shops across Africa, Bizimungu finally found one in Cape Town, South Africa, that sold fuchsias. Accompanied by his top minister, Bizimungu flew there the next day to select a plant. 'There was a very nice selection there, and it was difficult to choose,' Bizimungu said. 'I saw a lovely hanging plant, very green and full of flowers, but unfortunately, there is a terrible hook shortage in Rwanda, so we selected the other one.' The decision over where to put the plant proved difficult, as well. While many wanted the plant positioned near Lake Kivu on the Rwanda-Somalia border, where it could help cheer up the more than 400,000 Rwandan refugees left homeless from years of civil war, prime minister Pierre Claver Rwigema demanded it be situated in Kigali. 'Kigali is the capital of Rwanda,' said Rwigema, who declared himself Plant Minister For Life Monday. 'That is where our national plant belongs.' Added Rwigema: 'I am confident that the people of Rwanda will find plant ownership to be a relaxing and enjoyable hobby.' According to Rwigema, responsibility for caring for the plant will be divided between the Hutus and Tutsis, with members of the two tribes watering it on alternating days. The plant does not need direct sunlight, Rwigema noted, but requires a thorough 'soak,' ideally in a bathtub, every 10 days. Due to an 18-month drought that has destroyed all of the nation's crops, water for the plant will be imported from Tanzania. Water supplies will also periodically be confiscated from Rwanda's 'least thirsty' citizens. Citizen reaction to the plant has been overwhelmingly positive. 'War has destroyed everything that once was,' said Dinizi Akagera, 33. 'There is nothing left.' Gisenyi resident Ayinkele Habiyama, 41, was equally impressed. 'Please, let me out of here,' said Habiyama, who was arrested and thrown into a darkened, solitary, 3'x3' cell by military police after being caught attempting to eat the plant Wednesday. 'I need water and sunlight.'

2	Even Mr.T Made It To Nancy Reagans Funeral, Makes Obama Look Disgraceful While Obama was busy pushing his own agenda at the SXSW festival in Austin, the rest of the world was remembering former First Lady Nancy Reagan. There were a number of recognizable faces at her funeral, including 80s action star, Mr. T. He and Ronald Reagan became friends during the Just Say No campaign. Other attendees at the memorial included Reagan administration official Ed Meese, Larry King, Mike Love from the Beach Boys and Steve Ford, son of President Gerald Ford. Bo Derek, Tom Selleck, and Johnny Mathis were also spotted. Mathis was friends with Reagan and often visited her home in the Bel Air area of Los Angeles. He and the former first lady spent time singing together. What do you think? Is Obama an absolute disgrace to our country? 
2	White Veteran Stabbed To Death By Group Of Thugs Yelling Slurs, Media Ignores In Lakewood, Washington, a 20-year-old soldier named Tevin Geike was stabbed to death in a parking lot. According to reports, he was walking along the Pacific Highway SW with two other white soldiers when a group of black men drove by and yelled at the group. Allegedly, the men driving by were yelling racial slurs, and when one of the soldiers responded, the car turned around. Then, the driver of the vehicle recognized that they were fighting soldiers. One of the suspects bumped into Geike, and the soldiers saw him fall to the ground. Meanwhile, the car sped away into the distance. Geike bled to death from multiple stab wounds. He was already dead in my brothers arms, Glenn Zimmerman, a friend of Geike, told reporters. The group of soldiers had been at a party that night, celebrating the end of Geikes contract, and honoring his service to his country. I dont understand how someone can do thisthat man, he almost gave his life for people to enjoy the freedoms they have and he was just stabbed for no reason, Zimmerman continued. Given the racial implications of the incident, investigators are considering whether the killing is classified as a hate crime. In the meantime, Police are searching for the vehicle and the five suspects, all five of whom are black men in their 20s. 
2	Hillary Clinton Gets Booed At Her Own Rally When She Said THIS One Thing [VIDEO] According to recent reports, Hillary Clinton was giving a speech before the National Education Association (NEA) while FBI Director James Comey was announcing he would not be recommending charges against the former secretary of state. Despite images being broadcast of a warm welcome, Clinton did not receive a positive response for all the comments she made at the rally. When Clinton attempted to speak on what she said was a needed dialog between public schools and charter schools, she was booed. When schools get it right, whether they are traditional public schools or public charter schools, lets figure out whats workingand share it with schools across American, Clinton stated, which was met with an audible disapproval. NEA members have long been complaining that charter schools draw away some of the best and brightest students at the expense of public schools. Clinton desperately tried to win back the crowd by drawing a distinction between the public charters she supports and charter schools that exist for profit. Weve got not time for all these education wars, where people on the outside try to foist for-profit schools on our kids, Clinton continued. We will never stand for that. That is not acceptable. For us, the anger comes from the growing franchise for-profit charter schools, NEA President Lily Eskelsen Garcia told reporters. When they move in, they devastate the local school district. Interestingly, Clintons support for charter schools goes back to the late 1990s, when she said they are necessary for bringing teachers, and parents, and communities together. Its not surprising that she is changing her tune now. 
1	CIUDAD JUREZ, MEXICOCommunity advocates in Ciudad Jurez, Mexico, announced Tuesday the launch of a new intervention program aimed at reaching out to impressionable drug lords at high risk for becoming involved in cartels. 'Drug lords' millions of dollars, control of ruthless paramilitary forces, and ownership of thousands of marijuana plantations make them by far the most vulnerable recruiting target for cartels,' said program coordinator Jorge Garc'a Botella, adding that drug lords typically lack the kinds of positive role models who might encourage them to use their vast networks of smuggling tunnels more constructively. 'Cartels provide drug lords with the sense of belonging they crave, but then these groups exploit them, using them for the influence they have over corrupt government officials.' Garc'a Botella warned that if no one intervenes, most narcotics kingpins will end up becoming just another statistic responsible for 20 percent of all the cocaine smuggled through Mexico. 
2	BREAKING: Gunman Open Fires At US Walmart... Please Send Prayers According to recent reports, a dangerous shooting took place this week at an Augusta, Maine Walmart. Fortunately, two legally armed bystanders were able to step in with their handguns and stop the shooters from causing any further damage. The Political Insider reports that four suspects were taken into custody by police after the shooting, which took place in the parking lot. The four men were sitting in cars parked next to each other when the altercation began. One suspect opened fire on the occupants of the other vehicle. They then returned fire. When the shooting finally stopped, one of the suspects exited his car to confront the others. Thats when the two bystanders stepped in and stopped the altercation. Suspect Kwiesha Reggie McBride was injured when a bullet grazed his stomach. Were sure there would have been more serious injuries or even fatalities if these concealed carrier not been nearby. Of course, the mainstream media is not going to report on the incident. It doesnt fit with their anti-gun agenda. 
2	While No One Was Paying Attention, Obama Quietly Did This President Barack Obama made history this 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. 
1	The nominees for the 81st annual Academy Awards were announced Thursday, with veteran actor Dennis Quaid receiving no nods in multiple categories. Quaid, star of The Rookie, Breaking Away, and three films this year, is a strong favorite to walk away without a Best Actor award during Hollywood's biggest night. This marks Quaid's second non-nomination since his 2006 performance in American Dreamz, for which he was also not tapped. Quaid has never won a Golden Globe either. 
3	CNN: Libyan Rebels Are Now ISISTony Cartalucci The so-called pro-democracy protesters Libyan leaderMuammar Qaddafi was poised to attack in what NATO claimed was pending genocide were in fact heavily armed terrorists that have festered for decades in eastern Libya. Almost immediately after NATO successfully destroyed Libyas government, its terrorist proxies were mobilized to take part in NATOs next campaign against Syria. Libyan terrorists were sent first to NATO-member Turkey were they were staged, armed, trained, and equipped, before crossing the Turkish-Syrian border to take part in the fighting. CNN Admits ISIS is in Libya The black flag of ISIS flies over government buildings. Police cars carry the groups insignia. The local football stadium is used for public executions. A town in Syria or Iraq? No. A city on the coast of the Mediterranean, in Libya. Fighters loyal to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria are now in complete control of the city of Derna, population of about 100,000, not far from the Egyptian border and just about 200 miles from the southern shores of the European Union. The fighters are taking advantage of political chaos to rapidly expand their presence westwards along the coast, Libyan sources tell CNN. Only the black flag of Al Qaeda/ISIS has already long been flying over Libya even at the height of NATOs intervention there in 2011. ISIS didnt come to Libya, it was always there in the form of Al Qaedas local franchises LIFG and AQIM long-term, bitter enemies of the now deposed and assassinated Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi. CNNs latest article is merely the veneer finally peeling away from the alleged revolution it had attempted to convince readers had taken place in 2011. ISIS Didnt Come to Libya, It Came From Libya Even amid CNNs own spin, it admits ISIS presence in Libya is not a new phenomenon but rather the above mentioned sectarian extremists who left Libya to fight in Syria simply returning and reasserting themselves in the eastern Cyrenaica region. CNN also admits that these terrorists have existed in Libya for decades and were kept in check primarily by Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi. With Qaddafi eliminated and all semblance of national unity destroyed by NATOs intervention in 2011, Al Qaeda has been able to not only prosper in Libya but use the decimated nation as a springboard for invading and destroying other nations. Worst of all, Al Qaedas rise in Libya was not merely the unintended consequence of a poorly conceived plan by NATO for military intervention, but a premeditated regional campaign to first build up then use Al Qaeda as a mercenary force to overthrow and destroy a series of nations, beginning with Libya, moving across North Africa and into nations like Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and eventually Iran. From there, NATOs mercenary force would be on the borders of Russia and China ready to augment already Western-backed extremists in the Caucasus and Xinjiang regions. In 2011, geopolitical analyst Dr. Webster Tarpley in his article, The CIAs Libya Rebels: The Same Terrorists who Killed US, NATO Troops in Iraq, noted that the US strategy was to: use Al Qaeda to overthrow independent governments, and then either Balkanize and partition the countries in question, or else use them as kamikaze puppets against larger enemies like Russia, China, or Iran. Dr. Tarpley would also note in 2011 that: One of the fatal contradictions in the current State Department and CIA policy is that it aims at a cordial alliance with Al Qaeda killers in northeast Libya, at the very moment when the United States and NATO are mercilessly bombing the civilian northwest Pakistan in the name of a total war against Al Qaeda, and US and NATO forces are being killed by Al Qaeda guerrillas in that same Afghanistan-Pakistan theater of war. The force of this glaring contradiction causes the entire edifice of US war propaganda to collapse. The US has long since lost any basis in morality for military force. In fact, terrorist fighters from northeast Libya may be killing US and NATO troops in Afghanistan right now, even as the US and NATO protect their home base from the Qaddafi government. Indeed, the very terrorists NATO handed the entire nation of Libya over to, are now allegedly prime targets in Syria and Iraq. The pro-democracy rebels of 2011 are now revealed to be ISIS terrorists with long-standing ties to Al Qaeda. US Long-Planned to use Al Qaeda as Mercenaries Not even mentioning the fact that Al Qaedas very inception was to serve as a joint US-Saudi mercenary force to fight a proxy war in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union, the terrorist organization has since played a central role in the Balkans to justify NATO intervention there, and as a divisive force in Iraq during the US occupation to blunt what began as a formidable joint Sunni-Shiaa resistance movement. In 2007, it was revealed by Pulitzer Prize-winning veteran journalist Seymour Hersh that the United States, Israel, and Saudi Arabia were conspiring to use Al Qaeda once again, this time to undermine, destabilize, and destroy the governments of Syria and Iran in what would be a regional sectarian bloodbath. Hersh would report (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. Hersh would note that Iran was perceived to be the greater threat and therefore, despite a constant barrage of propaganda claiming otherwise, Al Qaeda and its various affiliates were lesser enemies. Even in 2007, Hershs report would predict almost verbatim the cataclysmic regional sectarian bloodbath that would take place, with the Wests extremists waging war not only on Shiaa populations but also on other religious minorities including Christians. His report would note: Robert Baer, a former longtime C.I.A. agent in Lebanon, has been a severe critic of Hezbollah and has warned of its links to Iranian-sponsored terrorism. But now, he told me, weve got Sunni Arabs preparing for cataclysmic conflict, and we will need somebody to protect the Christians in Lebanon. It used to be the French and the United States who would do it, and now its going to be Nasrallah and the Shiites. And this is precisely what is happening, word for word, page by page everything warned about in Hershs report has come to pass. In 2011, geopolitical analyst Dr. Webster Tarpley and others would also reiterate the insidious regional campaign Western policymakers were carrying out with Al Qaeda terrorists disguised as rebels, activists, and moderate fighters for the purpose of arming, funding, and even militarily intervening on their behalf in attempts to effect regime change and tilt the balance in the Middle East and North Africa region against Iran, Russia, and China. CNNs attempt to explain why ISIS is suddenly in Libya is one of many attempts to explain the regional rise of this organization in every way possible besides in terms of the truth that ISIS is the result of multinational state sponsored terrorism including the US, UK, EU, Turkey, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Israel as its chief backers. NATO Handed ISIS Libya, Wants to Hand ISIS Syria Inexplicably, amid allegedly fighting ISIS in Iraq and Syria, the United States now claims it must first overthrow the Syrian government, despite it being the only viable, secular force in the region capable of keeping ISIS and its affiliates in check. CNN, in an article titled, Sources: Obama seeks new Syria strategy review to deal with ISIS, al-Assad, would report: President Barack Obama has asked his national security team for another review of the U.S. policy toward Syria after realizing that ISIS may not be defeated without a political transition in Syria and the removal of President Bashar al-Assad, senior U.S. officials and diplomats tell CNN. Neither CNN, nor the politicians it cited in its article were able to articulate just why removing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from power would somehow diminish the fighting capacity of ISIS. With CNNs recent article on ISIS gains in Libya despite US-led NATO regime change there, after decades of Libyan leader Qaddafi keeping extremists in check, it would appear that NATO is once again attempting not to stop Al Qaeda/ISIS, but rather hand them yet another country to use as a base of operations. The goal is not to stop ISIS or even effect regime change in Syria alone but rather hand Syria over as a failed, divided state to terrorists to use as a springboard against Iran, then Russia and China. Clearly, ISIS appearance in Libya negates entirely the already incomprehensible strategy the US has proposed of needing to first depose the Syrian government, then fight ISIS. The Syrian government, like that of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, is the only effective force currently fighting ISIS and Al Qaedas many other franchises operating in the region. Deposing the government in Damascus would compound the fight against sectarian terrorists and the West is fully aware of that. Therefore, attempts to topple the secular government in Damascus is in every way the intentional aiding and abetting of ISIS and the sharing in complicity of all the horrific daily atrocities ISIS and its affiliates are carrying out. The morally bankrupt, insidious, dangerous, and very genocidal plans hatched in 2007 and executed in earnest in 2011 illustrate that ISIS alone is not the greatest threat to global peace and stability, but also those that constitute its multinational state sponsors. The very West purportedly defending civilization is the chief protagonist destroying it worldwide. Tony Cartaluccis articles have appeared on many alternative media websites, including his own at 
1	In a rare display of bipartisanship just one day before the presidential election, President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney came together Monday to urge Americans to purchase The selfnews Book Of Known Knowledge. This nation is divided, it's been through hell, and The selfnews Book Of Known Knowledge is quite frankly the only thing that can heal its wounds and make it great again, Romney and Obama said in a joint statement before appearing at a rally in which the two candidates joined hands and raised their own copies of the book high into the air. Tomorrow, we are urging all of you to skip voting, go to any place books are sold, and buy this compendium of vital information. Its not only the right thing for you, its the right thing for America. Obama and Romney then spent hours reading the bookwhich can be purchased online right this very secondout loud to each other as the crowd roared in approval.

3	NSAs SIM Card Scandal Bigger Than You ThinkVladimir Platov Recent days have been marked by a record number of news stories regarding the US and its allies trying to establish total control over Internet users. On February 16, researchers at the Moscow-based security group Kaspersky Lab announced the discovery of the ultimate virus which has virtually infected all spheres of military and civilian computing in more than 40 countries around the world. Theyve managed to discover a piece of malware that must have been installed on hard disks while they were still being manufactured, and due to its complexity and a certain number of features that it shares with Stuxnet, its safe to assume that it was created by US secret services. On February 18, The Guardian confirmed that for the last 7 years Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) had been sharing personal intelligence data en masse with Americas national security agencies, regardless of the fact that it had intercepted millions of foreign citizens conversations. The ruling of a UK court clearly suggests that these actions were illegal on top of being carried out in violation of the the European Convention on Human Rights. On February 19, it was announced that the National Security Agency (NSA) along with its British partner in crime, GCHQ, has manged to steal encryption keys from Gemalto the worlds largest manufacturer of SIM-cards. This allowed the above-named intelligence agencies to tap any phone and intercept data from any mobile device that was using a SIM-card produced by Gemalto. This conspiracy was unveiled by The Intercept, which added that Gemalto was created nine years ago when the French company Axalto merged with Gemplus International which was operating in Luxembourg. Today Gemalto has more that 85 offices across the globe along with a total of 40 factories, working in close cooperation with leading telecommunication corporations, including ATT, Verizon and T-Mobile, along with many others. Representatives of the three aforementioned companies refused to comment on this scandal. One can easily count German Deutsche Telekom among the customers of the Gemalto group. Hence there is little doubt regarding the involvement of US intelligence in the tapping of Angela Merkels mobile phone, an incident uncovered back in mid 2014. What is particularly peculiar in this situation is the decision of The Federal Attorney General of Germany ending the investigation of the Chancellors tapped phone as reported by Focus Online on the pretext of zero possible outcome of the investigation. Well, the claims of the same Focus Online that Merkel now has a new cell phone that cannot be tapped, looks ridiculous enough, since this new phone uses the same-old Gemalto SIM-card. So the NSA can spy on Madam Chancellor as long as they see fit, while the attorney general sees nothing wrong about it. Well, perhaps Germany has finally agreed to stand in line with the citizens of other countries and their political and business elite, eager to play the role of laboratory rats in the US intelligence surveillance game. One would be surprised to learn that Gemalto is producing up to 2 billion SIM-cards per year, along with chips for bank cards and identity cards. According to many information security experts, US intelligence agencies due to the encryption keys theyve stolen are able to retrieve any information from mobile devices, bank cards, and/or e-passports. The Wall Street Journal reported the successes of US intelligence agencies in retrieving information from millions of US citizens cell phones back in 2014. Most of Americas citizens are under constant watch of US security, due to surveillance systems mounted on light aircraft and drones developed by Boeing, which allows them to collect private data from thousands of mobile phones. In addition to the ability to establish the whereabouts of a person, which can be tracked with the accuracy to within three meters, a phone can be remotely blocked, while all information stored on it can be easily stolen. On February 20, the spokesperson for the United States Department of State Jen Psaki in her typical manner complained about how difficult it is for the US to confront thousands of hostile attacks in cyberspace. However, she has never mentioned the above-listed facts and Washingtons paranoid desire to dominate cyberspace. Vladimir Platov, an expert on the Middle East, exclusively for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook, where this first appeared. 
3	The Federal Reserve Has Unleashed a Virus Of Radical Monetary PolicyMac Slavo Now, chairwoman Janet Yellen has testified before Congress that the Federal Reserve is looking to increase interest rates, on the pretext of low inflation. The rate increase represents an enormous price fixing mechanism that will alter the course of investments for everyone. The ground shakes when the Fed takes a step. Never mind if it should be this way: Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said Wednesday that the central bank could raise interest rates before inflation picks up as long as it foresees price increases accelerating and the job market continues to advance. (Source) Jim Grant, publisher of the Grants Interest Rate Observer, has been calling out currency manipulation and interest rate manipulation for some time. The main driver of these manipulations, from the shadows and out of the mind of the public, are the actions of the Federal Reserve, which affects other central bank actions and much of the global market. Watch what Grant said on NBC News: Grant called the Feds interventions a virus of radical monetary policy. And according to Grant, theres no going back their actions are pivotal to the entire marketplace. With below zero interest rates under QE1-3, that amounts to free money for the biggest banks and massive worldwide economic manipulation: To me, the substantive fact about the Fed is that is has been involved in the greatest protracted experiment in price control in modern times. Interest rates are prices that have been suppressed and manipulated and generally federally man-handled. And the consequences of the distortion of these critical prices called interest rates, these distortions are at every hand. But we cant know the final consequences, but we can be pretty sure they will not be wholesome. And to me, this virus of radical monetary policy is now coursing through the political bloodstream. Theres no going back, at least not for the medium term. The world has come to expect that the central bank will be there in force, in unprecedented ways, with the greatest improvisations come times of trouble. There will be trouble coming up, of course there always are. Incredibly, Grant points out that some 83% of the entire global stock market is based upon the 0% rates set by the Federal Reserve. When those rates change, for better or worse, there will be global echoes. Citing a Merill Lynch book titled The Longest Picture, Grant states that: 83% of the worlds stock market capitalization is under the shadow of zero percent interest rates. And something in excess of $4 Trillion of sovereign debt yields nothing, or a little less. So, we cant know exactly what valuations will be in the absence of these most extraordinary interventions, but I think wed have a very different financial landscape. The great experiment in price controls set by the Federal Reserve has undoubtedly resulted less freedom and less economic stability for the average person. The last of the middle class is being vacuumed up by the post-2008 economic crisis interventions. There is no understanding their impact. Markets based upon zero interest rate free money are hooked, as a junkie is, on Federal Reserve interventions, artificial liquidity and de facto price controls. A little while back, CNBC commentators made it even more clear, admitting that were absolutely slaves to the central banks.

1	Eagles head coach Andy Reid addressed his recent family turmoil in a press conference today, responding to allegations that he had neglected his paternal duties in order to focus on football with the simple statement 'Red Right 32 Trap.' 'This is a crisis we can all get through together,' said Reid, whose two oldest sons were recently sentenced to nearly two years in jail for multiple drug-related offenses and who was chastised by the sentencing judge for not providing a structured, healthy home environment for his children. 'But only by making defenses fear our running game again. Donovan McNabb has had his problems, but I take full responsibility for that. I should have been paying more attention to Brian Westbrook's need for the ball.' 'Red right 32 trap is not the answer to all our problems,' Reid added. 'But it's a step in the right direction. One day at a time.' Reid became the focus of controversy recently when his sons Britt, 22, and Garrett, 24, were found to be addicted to and even dealing prescription and illegal drugs, prompting Montgomery County court judge Steven O'Neill to liken the coach's home to 'a drug emporium' and even say the Reids were 'a family in crisis.' 'The last few days have been an eye-opener for us all around,' Reid said. 'To lose to the Cowboys by 21 just shows how deep the problems go. And I can't tell you how much worse it is when a disaster like this happens to you at home. Obviously, it's time to reevaluate our approach, starting with our running game.' 'Don't worry, though, I read the papers,' Reid added. 'I'll be taking a long hard look at the defense as well. I'll be doing my best to address all our problems, not just the ground game.' Although Eagles owner Jeff Lurie has repeatedly said he will stand by his coach, stating that he would use any of the Eagles' considerable legal and therapeutic resources to help the Reid family through the through the current crisis, Reid has responded by saying that he will handle his predicament in his own fashion. 'I truly appreciate the support I've received from Eagles team officials, but this is really something I have to handle on my own,' Reid said. 'I believe the old saying that a football team is like a family, and in any family, you solve your problems yourself through hard work and honesty. Right now, I can't ignore the real problem: The Eagles family is 3-5, we're going through a crisis where it's becoming hard to trust each other, and while I might not want to admit it, people are unhappy and communications have begun to break down.' 'It's going to take all my energy to make this right,' a visibly moved Reid said, brushing at his eyes. 'I certainly didn't do anybody any favors when I took that five-week leave of absence in the offseason. But this football team has my full attention from now until I get us into the playoffs.' Reactions to Reid's statements met with mixed reactions in the press, particularly from those Philadelphia-area journalists most familiar with the ongoing story of Britt and Garrett Reid. 'It's unconscionable for a coach to prioritize his team over his family to this degree, especially in the supposedly family-oriented National Football League,' said A.J. Daulerio of the Philadelphia Daily Examiner. 'Andy Reid needs to be a father to his sons right now, not fiddling with running trap and misdirection plays with that patchwork Eagles offensive line, which is frankly just asking for trouble. If anything, he should fix the defensive secondary firstSean Considine couldn't cover my grandma.' 
2	White House In Panic Mode After Top Secret Obama Documents Leak To The Public According to recent reports, 18 documents were delivered to congress on July 19. 17 of those documents were unclassified, so why is the Obama administration going above and beyond to make sure that the public never sees them? The State Department ruled that they can only be viewed in camera to people who obtain a special clearance. This is the administration that once said it would be the most transparent administration in history, one Republican Senate aide commented. Theyre not acting like it. The documents contain important information about the Iran nuclear deal, and many in Congress, view the tactic as an attempt by the administration to limit open debate. One of the documents is entitled Elements of Irans RD Plan and contains information about the safeguards confidential plan between Iran and the IAEA. Other documents include correspondence between leaders. Congress has every document that we have, and every Member of Congress and every staff with the necessary security clearance can review all of the documents, one White House official claims. What do you think? Is the Obama administration still hiding something from us? 
2	Here Are The First Two Things Trump Will Do If He Is Elected, It Doesnt Get Better Than This During a recent interview with Fox and Friends, Donald Trump revealed the first two things he intends to do if he is elected president. Both could mean bold moves for America. I want to build up the military so nobody messes with us, Trump commented. I would bring it back to where it was at the height because were in such trouble. And I would absolutely repeal and replace Obamacare. While trump did not disclose details, peak levels of active-duty members range from 580,000 in 2008 to 770,000 under Ronald Reagan. Both goals would require significant enrollment and increases, and would mean a giant shift in American policy. Our country is a mess and theres so many things that we could do, Trump concluded. What do you think? Though controversial, is Trump clearly a man of action? 
1	Saying that perspectives of young Americans are rarely represented in todays political discourse, Koch Industries executives Charles and David Koch released a public statement Thursday encouraging the nations youth to make their voices heard in the upcoming midterm elections by establishing an Independent Expenditure-Only Political Action Committee. Todays political decisions will have an enormous impact on all young Americans, which is why we hope youll participate in the democratic process this election by filling out Federal Election Commission Form 1 identifying yourselves as a 501(c)(4), said Charles Koch, adding that if the nations 18-to-24-year-olds are going to help shape the future of the country, it is vital they begin soliciting millions of dollars in contributions from anonymous donors to be spent on a multilayered media strategy. We dont care if you spend your slush fund on attack ads, opposition research, push polling, or anything elsewe just want you, the young people of America, to be involved. Managing a mostly unregulated war chest and concealing your strictly prohibited coordination with the candidate of your choice takes very little of your time. So please, dont sit on the sidelines this November. The Koch brothers added that they hoped todays youth would stay politically active after the election by using their wealth to wield unending influence over their representative throughout his or her time in office. 
3	Methods For Fighting Back Against Collectivist TyrannyBy Brandon Smith In the darkest corners of their souls, many people have personal aspirations to attain godhood in their own little worlds. And if they cannot achieve such godhood outright on their own, then they will join a mob with similar aspirations so that they can at least feel omnipotent through vicarious tyranny. This is why collectivism and individualism are mutually exclusive. A collectivist uses force or manipulation to compel the masses to accept a society that follows his personal ideology. An individualist adheres only to the tenets of natural law and the non-aggression principle. He believes force is justified only when the personal liberties of an individual are threatened by others. And he demands that if he participates in any society, it be voluntary. Collectivism is society through coercion. Individualism promotes society through voluntary cooperation. The two philosophies cannot coexist. Ill say it again because there are some people out there with severe reading comprehension issues; the definition of collectivism requires the prioritization of the group over the rights of the individual. Collectivism by its very nature denies or destroys individualism and individual choice in this prioritization. Collectivism therefore requires the engineered organization of individuals predicated by COERCION, or force. Period. If a group organizes voluntarily, then it is NOT collectivist. If a group is organized through force and manipulation, then it IS collectivist. Period. Bananas are yellow. Oranges are orange. The sky is blue. Two plus two equals four. And, collectivism compels participation by force, while voluntary community does not. There is no rational debate to be made against this clear dichotomy. It is truly amazing how some folks cannot seem to grasp the very obvious difference between collectivism and voluntary community; the same people that will likely still attempt to argue that collectivism and individualism are not mutually exclusive after reading this very article. I certainly would never make the claim that most collectivists are intelligent The collectivist threat is not merely due to environmental factors alone. As the psychologist Carl Jung outlined in his collected papers titled The Undiscovered Self, at any given point in history at least 10% of the human population has inherent (but often latent) psychopathic tendencies. Less than 1% of these people will actually act out their full psychopathy under stable social conditions. However, in times of great distress or political and economic upheaval, the psychopathic 10% are given a kind of playground in which to let the devil out; Jung called this the collective shadow. As I have explained in the past, these are the useful idiots within any society. They are the reason why there will never be a time now or in the future in which collectivist oppression will not be a potential threat, and why individualists will have to remain forever on guard. That said, they are only a part of the bigger problem. In almost every instance of mass tragedy or despotic government, an elitist minority pulls the strings of the useful idiots, aiming them like a shotgun at individualists in order to clear a path for total centralization. The elites are another horror altogether. These are the men and women who EMBRACE their psychopathy. It is not latent or subconscious; it is a fully integrated and accepted part of their psychological life. They have found that psychopathy can be an effective tool for gaining power and influence when average people around them are less vigilant or less confrontational due to fear or apathy. And contrary to popular belief, psychopaths CONSTANTLY organize into effective working groups, some of them vast and global in scope, as long as there is the promise of mutual benefit involved. This is not to say that they organize around gain alone. Elitists have their own pervasive ideology and their own rationalizations for seeking control of others. They see themselves as philosopher kings as described in Platos Republic, exemplary and special people who are born with the inherent genetic capacity to rule over the masses with the utmost clarity. They believe they know what is best not only for you, but for the human experiment in total. Their goal is to construct a sociopolitical apparatus that will allow them to have complete overreaching influence over every aspect of every individual life, up to and including the erasure of that life if they think it serves their ends. You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you like it or not. If it were discovered that you had not character and industry enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner George Bernard Shaw, Fabian socialist, from The Intelligent Womans Guide to Socialism and Capitalism My conclusion is that a scientific society can be stable given certain conditions. The first of these is a single government of the whole world, possessing a monopoly of armed force and therefore able to enforce peace. The second condition is a general diffusion of prosperity, so that there is no occasion for envy of one part of the world by another. The third condition (which supposes the second fulfilled) is a low birth rate everywhere, so that the population of the world becomes stationary, or nearly so. The fourth condition is the provision for individual initiative both in work and in play, and the greatest diffusion of power compatible with maintaining the necessary political and economic framework. Bertrand Russell, member of the Fabian Society, from The Impact Of Science On Society (Note: Russell believed that individuals should be given at least the illusion of choice within minor aspects of society in order to maintain their willing participation.) The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. [I]t remains a fact that in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind, who harness old social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world. Edward Bernays, father of modern propaganda, fromPropaganda Elitists are rarely as open about their true intentions as the men quoted above. They often entice the public with fantastical promises if collectivist systems are supported, including: equality of wealth and prosperity; reduction of labor and increases in leisure time; incredible technological advances; universal education; universal healthcare; the end of nationalism, resulting in the end of war, resulting in infinite global peace; etc. When they are not able to sell the public on a particular aspect of collectivism, they will create artificial divisions and artificial crises in order to engineer chaos. As per the Hegelian dialectic, when we are thoroughly tenderized by fear and disaster, the elites return to the scene with a solution to their original crime, a solution that usually involves more collectivism. So how do individualists fight back against collectivism, elitists and the useful idiots they exploit? Here are some practical strategies that anyone can employ in his daily life. Yes, in the everyday world there are leftists and right wingers, liberals and conservatives, Republicans and Democrats. People subscribe to particular ideologies and philosophies backed by fundamental differences in belief. These divisions between regular people are indeed real. However, it is important to realize that at the gatekeeper level in these systems, the leadership in both parties subscribe to the same goals. They are not divided. They are part of the elitist structure. And while their rhetoric differs cosmetically, in policy and in action they will always work to destroy individual liberty and promote collectivism, whether they claim to be on the right or the left. This reality also applies to supposed conflicts between nations. If two nations appear to be at odds with each other, yet the leadership of each nation remains in league with the same international elitists (bankers, Fabians, globalists, etc.), then their conflict is a sham designed as theater for the masses. Refuse to participate in false paradigms. Point out the inconsistencies of BOTH parties or sides and identify how each works against individualism and toward collectivism. Do not affiliate with any group or institution that has a demonstrated history of antagonism towards individual freedom or that partners with known collectivist (globalist) organizations and frontmen. If you are going to fight for any side, make sure it truly represents liberty through its actions and associations. Rhetoric is meaningless. As our economic situation becomes more and more dire, people are much more apt to become dependent on the system for survival, and this is an intentional result. I would not expect, for example, that the 94 million people in the U.S. who have been unemployed for so long they are no longer counted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics should refrain from government aid or cut themselves off from welfare measures and become immediately self-reliant. They should, however, consider working toward that goal over time; and so should everyone else. This is not quite as impossible as it seems. Can you produce or repair items that act as survival necessities? Can you teach a necessary skill? If so, then you are already well on your way to independence. Once you have a necessary skill, trade is possible outside the controlled economic framework. The more individuals involved in an alternative economy, the more diversity of skill sets will be available and the more prosperous that voluntary community will become. The ultimate achievement in my view would be similar in aspects to the American agrarian models of the past with the integration of helpful technology: completely voluntary communities in which free trade is the foundation; the existence of grid water and grid power is unnecessary; food production is local and ample rather than reliant on national or international freight systems and the artificial scarcity of corporate farming models; and security is provided by each individual for himself, as well as for the community, through voluntary neighborhood watches or militias. All of this starts with each individual taking action to become a producer, rather than a wage slave or welfare slave. Again, organizing voluntarily is counter to collectivism. Collectivist systems cannot be defeated unless you are willing to establish a competing model that works better while maintaining freedom. This is not hard to do, considering collectivist models are failure-driven machines that devour people and use them as fuel to move society as a whole towards a greater good which is neither great nor good. As outlined above, independent localism is the answer. It is a voluntary structure that encourages self-reliance and preparedness, while making production and innovation the mainstays of a healthy society. It rewards personal success and achievement, rather than punishing it. And, it helps a larger percentage of wealth to keep cycling locally, rather than being siphoned out of communities by governments or government-chartered and protected corporations. Localism always starts small, with families, friends and neighbors. But as your organization continues to make life better for those involved, it will inevitably attract more participants. The redundancy of localized economies would also protect people from economic collapse. In fact, without the forced interdependency of centralized collectivist economic models, large scale financial crises would probably become a thing of the past. Ive been saying it a lot lately, and Ill say it again: Public schooling as it stands today is an apparatus for brainwashing, nothing more. With the dismal world ranking of U.S. students in math, science and reading, I hardly see what service public education is actually performing in America. The only service public schools do seem to excel at is indoctrination, with children now being immersed in collectivist lessons through Common Core and being conditioned into pacifism and fear through insane zero-tolerance policies. The only working solutions available for parents today are to decouple from the federally dominated public school system and place their children in a well-vetted private school or to home-school. Any sacrifice, financial or otherwise, is worth it to save American children from a vicious system of propaganda and conditioning that could conceivably suppress their individualism and warp them into collectivist monsters. I think it should be pretty obvious that there is a simple reason behind the collectivist habit of attempting to disarm common people: Armed people are harder to manage or control. If an armed population was not a threat to collectivists then they would not keep trying to disarm everyone. Therefore, if you are not armed and trained in self-defense, then you are not a threat to collectivists. You can be the most brilliant of thinkers with pristine logic and truth on your side; but without the means and ability to destroy an attacker or tyrant, you are nothing in the grand scheme. Intellectual warriors are not really warriors. And as a writer, I will say in all honesty that the threat of the pen is not mightier than the threat of the sword. Keep in mind, though, that it is not enough to merely purchase a firearm or shoot at the range. Team tactics and training are essential for free people, which is why they are so admonished by collectivist elements in our society. Train with friends and family or with your Community Preparedness Team, as I do through Oath Keepers; but learn tactical methodologies and how to fight with others. Present a viable danger to collectivists, or be subsumed by them. Eventually, the fight between individualism and collectivism will become physical rather than informational. There is no way around it. The more individuals begin to decouple from the corrupt system and construct their own alternative framework, the more violent collectivists will turn in response. The virtue of self-defense requires that tyrants be cut off from their means to project violence onto others. While it is impossible to stop the inherent nature of psychopathy other than to participate in communities where psychopaths are not welcome or encouraged, there is the matter of organized elitism to deal with. Any fight for freedom from collectivists will require the removal of command and control. This is the only way that humanity can be given breathing room to rebuild without remaining under constant preplanned threat. There are, in fact, many organizations that openly work toward collectivist oligarchy, from central banks (this means central bankers in ALL nations, not just in the West), to the Council On Foreign Relations, to Tavistock, to the Rand Corporation, to the International Monetary Fund or the Bank for International Settlements, to Bilderberg, to the Fabian Society, etc. These institutions need to be dismantled by any means necessary and the participants removed from positions of control. Make no mistake; it will take a war before such people give up the reins of power. This is the inevitable cost of individualism and the inevitable cost of freedom.

We greatly appreciate your patronage. You can contact Brandon Smith at: brandon@alt-market.com This is a very good article as a whole that hopefully gets through to many. One Its not as simple as that because those in control move goal posts to their ends. If you are on the receiving side of a collectivist communist society or a technocratic fascist society genetics and nepotism plays havoc with the lives of society. Therefore, before one sets their wolves on others one should always argue on the side of love and humanity that teaches everyone why the best interest is to fall on the side of compassion with honest integrity. This will eliminate corruption. We have people who are unethical in all forms of honesty and integrity. Those people should be removed if they do not have a clear transparent agenda and move goal posts to suit their own ends. This is what the elite masters think of their servants. The article is well written but offers only a handful of tried and useless attempts at stopping the system by preparation. However, if you want to stop the system, you must only have enough people on your side to stop the system. Moreover, destroy revenue a state earns and receives through multiple peaceful fronts and protest and the state will collapse under its own weight from over-consuming resources and going into more debt. We need to default now and get the ball rolling by adding more pressure to get the collapse going world wide. When this happens the supply chains stop and the government cannot pay its praetorian guard the police forces and military. Then people will either flee office, fight or starve. Then you create a transitional coalition government and draft a new Constitutional document free from outside interference with all parties from the local stakeholders not Wall St. and not Washington. One can be hopeful that this will then gain credibility and sustain the popular crowd toward the groups aims at choking the lifeblood out of corruption once and for all. If this is not accomplished within the next 5 to 15 years then all bets are off on how the country will either continue steady hollowing out of infrastructure for collapse with fewer resources due to regulations or we will go to nuclear war if no new energy sources are discovered soon. It is inevitable at this point. diffuse resistance is impossible. The folks the world over are living in a fools paradise. ..it is important to realize that at the gatekeeper level in these systems, the leadership in both parties subscribe to the same goals. They count on people PROJECTING out their own good intentions onto the world of others actions, which is natural. This is something people just do. But it is a big mistake when you are dealing with those who want to control you, those in power. They, in all liklehood, do NOT have good intentions as you imagine and project. They are just taking advantage of human tendency to project. Never forget that they dont play by the same rules. They think it is a VIRTUE to lie and cheat you. 
1	Speaking though her publicist, author J.K. Rowling shocked fans and the publishing world Monday when she announced that she has opted to end the best-selling Harry Potter series because she has discovered boys. J.K. Rowling Ends Harry Potter Series After Discovering Boys 'For many years, writing the Harry Potter books was the most important thing in Joanne's life,' said publicist Mark Knowles, who is 'just good friends' with Rowling. 'She's been experiencing a lot of changes lately. She still wants to keep in touch with her fans, but she doesn't feel she can sit in a room at her computer all day while there are so many cute boys running around.' According to Knowles, instead of working on the as-yet-untitled sixth installment in her series, Rowling has spent the past two months sunning herself at the beach, reading fashion magazines, and talking on the phone for hours. 'I know many of you are upset by this news,' Knowles said. 'But Ms. Rowling was tired of devoting herself to something that no longer held her interestnamely, writing books about wizards, flying broomsticks, and candy that jumps. She's a lot older than she was when she wrote the first book. She'd much rather be going to the mall, looking for cute outfits, and talking to the boy with the curly red hair who works at the Hot Sam pretzel shop.' Friends of Rowling say her increasing interest in boys first became obvious during the 2003 release of her series' fifth installment, Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix. At book signings, Rowling often had her longtime friend Mindy Harrison pass notes to cute boys in line. But according to Harrison, the author would blush and be unable to speak whenever one approached her. In fact, sources say delays on Phoenix stemmed from Rowling's unrequited infatuation with Randy Powell, winner of the PEN Center USA West Award for Children's Literature and author of Run If You Dare and Tribute To Another Dead Rock Star. 'She had such a big crush on him, it was crazy,' Harrison said. 'She'd call his house and hang up. She'd draw pictures for him, but never send them. If she wasn't looking him up online, she was talking about him endlessly. She finally got the courage to e-mail him, but he never responded. I don't think I've ever seen her so depressed. The only reason she finished Order Of The Phoenix was because she knew it would outsell all his books put together.' Rowling, who is 'so over dragons and magical gems.' Many of Rowling's fans disapprove of the author's decision to quit writing the Harry Potter series. Some here also complained about the amount of makeup Rowling has begun to wear, her choice of friends, and her recent decision to get her belly button pierced. 'I can't believe she would give up something she worked so hard on, just because people might think it's not 'cool,'' said Nancy Listrom, a Boston resident and fan of the Harry Potter books. 'I blame that Mindy girl. She's a bad influence.' Added Listrom: 'And I can't believe her publicist allows her to show up at a bookstore appearance dressed in that pink skirt. It barely covers her butt. Her writing is a better way to get attention.' Philadelphia fan Jack Powell said discipline is the solution. 'If it were up to me, I'd ground her until she finished the series,' Powell said. 'If we let her quit now, what kind of message does that send?' It seems unlikely that fans' comments will do anything to reverse Rowling's decision. Last week, the author said she can't believe how 'immature' her novels are. 'When I look back at these books, I am, like, humiliated that anyone read them,' Rowling said in a June 12 article in the London Times. 'I wish they would all just go away. Whenever I meet a boy that I like, someone always shows him my books and makes a big deal about how they're the best-selling books in the world. It's so embarrassing.' Knowles reassured fans that Rowling is 'probably just going through a phase.' 'Ms. Rowling loves writing, but she's just a little boy crazy,' Knowles said. 'Like any 39-year-old woman, her hormones are raging. Right now, all she wants to do is go to parties and daydream about her wedding, but that won't last more than a few years. Watch what happens after her first big breakup.' 
3	How the Government Is Turning Legal Marijuana into a Massive Surveillance StateBy Jake Anderson There, each recreational and medicinal strain of marijuana bears a barcode and a Radio Frequency ID (RFID). The facilities that house and sell the herb brandish state-of-the-art 24/7 security that tracks the movements of every employee. This cannabis surveillance state is in place ostensibly to ensure that states can control the drug from being on the black market; surveillance data allows regulators to know there is a closed loop of marijuana and that it is not crossing state lines. For David Dinenberg, CEO of Kind Financial, the operative term is seed-to-sale tracking, which ensures every second of a plants life is accounted for as a commodity, from its first seedlings to the hands of the person who purchases it at the dispensary. This was made possible in 2011when Colorado passed the first state law mandating marijuana surveillance. Subsequently, this birthed the Marijuana Enforcement Tracking Reporting and Compliance (METRC), a government-referenced system owned by software company Franwell, which also operates in Alaska, Maryland, and Oregon. What is left unsaid and is probably unanswerable is how far the surveillance extends. Are state agents literally watching patients and customers as they leave the dispensaries and go about their days? Regardless, though this surveillance architecture is mandatory from the states perspective, others view it differently. In an interview with the Anti-Media, Expect Resistance owner and activist, Sara Killbride-Johnson, expressed skepticism with regard to the use of mass surveillance with the implementation of cannabis sales: Surveillance measures are always implemented because of peoples fear. You give up a freedom you feel you dont need in exchange for protection, which you do. Even when it doesnt help us personally, its true. Like convenience stores. She continued: 2) the people in the industry itself are scared of public perception but believe in industry enough and are willing to sacrifice not only personal privacybut also submit to all but debilitating minutia in order to not lose what they see is a precarious and hard fought victory. Its kind of sick; there must be a manipulation tactic named after this hoop jumping, but it is so present in our lives that it kind of gets accepted. We want to participate in society (as we should be allowed to), and we are willing to allow our lives to be dictated by ever-increasing choreography in order to do so. The black market is mostly comprised of outcasts, and yes, there is violence, but thats not the majority, and there are lots of critiques that the biggest reason there is violence in the black market is specifically BECAUSE its criminalized, which forces sellers to evade imprisonment. Zeroing in on this particularly atrocious aspect of the Drug War, Sara said: Imprisonment is so terrible not only because of the society in there but because being caged is so utterly depressing and terrible that humans will act in harsh ways to avoid it. So these things are a loop that create themselves and consume themselves at the same time . The idea that its going to be this way for a long time is such a dog thats been shocked so many times that it doesnt even bother escaping from an open door mentality. Its pretty sad, and its bullshit. At literally ANY time there could be a public awareness campaign that could change the perception of weed, and it would be almost instantaneous if it was done sincerely and came from the government that currently demonizes it. This is kind of cowering to your captors. It is what it is, but the weed industry itself could put money into education and change public perception; but now they are trapped financially in these expensive, time-consuming, constantly-changing legal pedants that they are too busy staying afloat to do proactive stuff at that scale. Great control tactic, but still arbitrary at its core. Will the cannabis surveillance state implode under federal and state regulations in Colorado, Alaska, Maryland, Oregon, and, soon, California? This will be a grand experiment in gray or parallel markets, but until humans arent wasting away in prison cells because of medicinal trade, the issue strikes a sour note.

And while its not perfect its better than doing nothing. As far as cannabis being involved in some kind of super security state surveillance faux-conspiracy thats just state sponsored fake news from a fake media thats spreading thesehalf-truths all for the establishment thats currently being replaced by Donald Trump. And they dont approve still, so thats why all this garbage fake news involving real and legal cannabis. Now excuse me while I exercise my pro-cannabis rights and partake in some of the finest Diesel hybrid cannabis Ive yet had the pleasure of using. Peace The micromanagement of medical marijuana is a reality. Patients are logged into government databases. The ATF also insists that medical marijuana and recreational marijuana patients lose their RKBA. You are either in deep denial or an enemy of freedom. Deep denial he is exercising his perceived freedom. These are obvious tactics to sink the industry. We can only take this one step at a time. Those who have an interest in keeping weed illegal have bought and paid for a LOT of power in Washington and they are not going away quietly. What has to happen is the industry has to get organized, and they know this, and fight these kind of tactics legally. I believe it will happen. Nobody on either side can deny the utter failure of criminalizing weed, the forces it emboldens, the cost to society, the people it hurts, etc. The enemies of weed could care less about these facts. Its all about the allmighty dollar. There is another group that damages the industry, those who have turned medical and recreational marijuana into one more crony capitalism industry. Using a variety of typical subterfuges, Mom and Pop have been driven out of the cannabis industry. They didnt mention Nevada either. Both MMJ and Recreational now. /;-D I am shocked. You mean a movement ultimately financed and headed up by George Soros is being used to advance the Surveillance State? Who would have though that? It says Everything in moderation. The over abuse of anything is still abuse. Let each decide in their own minds. For me and my house we will not touch it. And no one cares, one way or the other. You misinterpreted the word touch. The version I used means To Partake of. There are many definitions that are not used today unlike long ago due to the Dumbing Down of our society. . I know what it means. So you have access to the worlds safest medicine, and you wont partake in it? You dont partake in medicine, you consume it to make and keep you well, for your wellbeing! Seriously if you get sick or something you should try it, it cant hurt (no really unlike pharmaceuticals it doesnt and hasnt ever harmed anyone) Hands off our weed! The state has forgotten it didnt create cannabis God did! There are plenty of us. The question is not how many are we; the question is how many will answer the call? Ezekiel Ch 2 and Ch 33. We can only tell them then our job is done. Yea, they thought no one could escape Alcatraz,too, Frank Morris proved them wrong. Right Silverado! I like you got a bad vibe from this article Im looking at you Jake Anderson, are you the jake from statefarm? You probably are and this has something to do with insurance rates! lol No but seriously, this seemed like it was being like yea be scared of the big bad cannabis surveillance program and guess what guys looks like we have to go back to it being illegal. The blackmarket wasnt so bad, heck its better than all this cannabis surveiellance where theres someone watching you 24/7 as you get your medicine. So really its best we just go back to the blackmarket and forget about this whole legalization thing LOLOL That person isnt watching or giving a crap about you buying your medicine, THEYRE MAKING USE OF THE MEDICINE THEMSELVES LOL And not giving a hoot about watching a screen marking down every person that comes in! lol Its like this article was written in behest of a mexican cartel thats pissed off that their mexican brick weed garbage product is no longer profitable since legalization that market is pretty much dead. And GOOD RIDDANCE, I always hated that inferior brick weed that sometimes youd have to get if it was the only thing available! So yea legalization in the states we have is a step in the right direction even if they have a bit of monitoring on the medicine until its sold, eventually once totally freed that wont even be there either. But being denied access to your medicine is far worse than them recognizing your right to use it and just wanting to keep an eye on it until you get it in your hands, then youre responsible for it after that! Unlike you though Im not in a state where theyve legalized it yet, but its coming. We need a nationwide legalization to free the best plant in the world once and for all!

'If I'd been using a traditional shampoo bottle, I'd have had to turn the thing over and shake it when it started to run low,' Shaffer said. 'But, with the Jhirmack bottle, the shampoo collects at the bottom, making shaking unnecessary.' Shaffer plans to use the time saved by the shampoo to 'catch up on [his] reading.' 
3	1975 Video: CIA Admits to Congress the Agency Uses Mainstream Media to Distribute DisinfoMelissa Melton Despite Casey being under investigation by Congress for being involved in a major disinformation plot involving the overthrow of Libyas Qaddafi in 1981, and despite Casey arguing on the record that the CIA should have a legal right to spread disinformation via the mainstream news that same year, this quote continues to be argued by people who werent there and apparently cannot believe a CIA Director would ever say such a thing. But spreading disinfo is precisely what the CIA would and did do. This 1975 clip of testimony given during aHouse Intelligence Committee hearing has the agency admitting on record that the CIA creates and uses disinformation against the American people. Question: Do you have any people being paid by the CIA who are contributing to a major circulation American journal? Answer: We do have people who submit pieces to American journals. Question: Do you have any people paid by the CIA who are working for television networks? Answer: This I think gets into the kind of uh, getting into the details Mr. Chairman that Id like to get into in executive session. (later) Question: Do you have any people being paid by the CIA who are contributing to the national news services AP and UPI? Answer: Well again, I think were getting into the kind of detail Mr. Chairman that Id prefer to handle at executive session. I thought that it was a matter of real concern that planted stories intended to serve a national purpose abroad came home and were circulated here and believed here because this would mean that the CIA could manipulate the news in the United States by channeling it through some foreign country, Democratic Idaho Senator Frank Church said at a press conference surrounding the hearing. Church chaired the Church Committee, a precursor to the Senate Intelligence Committee, which was responsible for investigating illegal intelligence gathering by the NSA, CIA and FBI. This exact tactic planting disinformation in foreign media outlets so the disinfo would knowingly surface in the United States as a way of circumventing the rules on domestic operations was specifically argued for as being legal simply because it did not originate on U.S. soil by none other than CIA Director William Casey in 1981. Again, please keep this in mind when you watch the mainstream news in this country Melissa Melton is a co-founder of TruthstreamMedia.com, where this first appeared. She is an experienced researcher, graphic artist and investigative journalist with a passion for liberty and a dedication to truth. Her aim is to expose the New World Order for what it is a prison for the human soul from which we must break free. 
3	Depositor Haircuts SpreadingStephen Lendman On March 21, it was submitted. It endorsed depositor haircuts. It did so before Cypriot trouble erupted. Its Establishing a Risk Management Framework for Domestic Systemically Important Banks section (pages 144-145) states: Canadas large banks are a source of strength for the Canadian economy. The Government.recognizes the need to manage the risks associated with systemically important banks those banks whose distress or failure could cause a disruption to the financial system, and, in turn, (have) negative impacts on the economy. The Government proposes to implement a bail-in regime for systemically important banks. This regime will be designed to ensure that, in the unlikely event that a systemically important bank depletes its capital, the bank can be recapitalized and returned to viability through the very rapid conversion of certain bank liabilities into regulatory capital. The Government will consult stakeholders on how best to implement a bail-in regime in Canada. Implementation timelines will allow for a smooth transition for affected institutions, investors and other market participants. Official policy endorses haircuts. Depositor funds will be used for recapitalizations. Implementation details werent explained. Expect confiscation. Doing so reflects grand theft. A previous article said banks legally own depositor funds. Our money is theirs. They can seize it in return for IOUs (promises to repay). Smart money says dont bet on it. Its gone. Once taken, expect little or nothing back. A new template was established. Cypriot confiscations spreading. In may show up in a neighborhood near you. Bad ideas proliferate fast. Expect ordinary people to be hurt most. RT said Cypriot policy looks likely to (become) full-scale EU law, letting taxpayers off the hook in case a bail-out is needed, but imposing major losses on bigger savers on a permanent basis. EP member Gunnar Hokmark heads Euroland negotiations. Legislation was drafted for problem banks. You need to be able to do the bail-in with deposits, he said. Amounts below 100,000 euros are protected. Deposits above 100,000 euros are not protected, and shall be treated as part of the capital that can be bailed in. Dont bet against all deposits being tapped. If enough funds are needed, theyre fair game. The skys the limit. Entire accounts may be taken. Saving banks matters most. All options are on the table. Legislation awaits Euroland member states approval. Early 2015 implementation is planned. If trouble erupts sooner, it could happen any time. Depositor confiscation is policy. Its spreading like wildfire. It may, show up anywhere. Your money is theirs. Its there for the taking. As much as needed can be seized. Life savings can be wiped out. Theres no place to hide. Forewarned is forearmed. Financial analyst Martin Weiss suggests troubled Cypriot banks are canaries in the coal mine. TV talking heads say no one could have possibly known what was coming. Dont believe them! Last April, Weiss Ratings gave Bank of Cyprus and Laiki Bank D- grades. In December they were downgraded to E-. Doing so put them on death watch. They stood on the very brink of failure. Dont believe claims about stabilized or contained crisis conditions. Nothing could be further from the truth, said Weiss. The worst is yet to come. Expect massive losses from 40 to 80 percent on uninsured deposits. Draconian restrictions were imposed. Contagions spreading. Its planned for other European countries. According to Weiss, restricting free capital movement directly violates EU treaties. No matter. Eurocrats have final say. Depositor haircuts and capital controls were imposed. What message does THAT send to global investors who have trillions of euros and pounds on deposit in Europe? The answer is simple. The message is better get the hell out of Europe while you still can, before the Troika helps other countries slap on more capital controls, trapping your money there, too. If only Cypriot banks were troubled, damage to depositor confidence might be minimized. Thats absolutely not the case. Some of the most endangered banks are among the largest (ones) in the world. European banks are especially troubled. Contagions heading their way. European Parliament legislation explained. Depositor haircuts are planned. Major French, British, Spanish, German, Italian and other European banks are knee deep in bad loans. Theyre all in or near the same condition as Cyprus banks were a year or two ago. Three major banks have E- ratings. Others approach them. Expect tremendous downward euro pressure. Expect big trouble any time. Expect depositors to bear the greatest burden. Recapitalizing troubled banks falls on their backs. Instead of nationalizing them, breaking them up, or closing them down, theyll be given new operating life. Theyll be free to steal again. Doing so perpetuates injustice. Expect it. Its official policy.

2	Muslims Everywhere Are Pissed After Lowes Makes Huge Statement Against Islam Not surprisingly, ratings have dropped dramatically for The Learning Channels reality show All-American Muslim. Now, the biggest advertisers on the show, Lowes, has decided to pull their investment. Now, after hearing the news, the left has decided to launch an attack on the store. According to California Senator Ted Lieu, Lowes move was bigoted, shameful and un-American. Also speaking out is the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Meanwhile, the company has received support from the Florida Family Association and other conservative groups. All-American Muslim represents propaganda that riskily hides the Islamic agendas clear and present danger to American liberties and traditional values, the group told CNN. What do you think? Do you support Lowes in their move away from supporting the show? 
2	BREAKING: Fox News Exposes Traitor Megyn Kelly, Kicks Her Out For Backing Hillary The Kelly File host Megyn Kelly has gotten into a lot of hot water for her many attempts to smear Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump. Fox News fans are not happy, and have been turning off her show in droves. Disturbingly, its even fallen behind The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC in ratings, which is embarrassing. Bill OReilly is makingbig moves to get here out as soon as possible. All of this is a clear sign that Megyn is on the way out. Bill OReilly is a big Trump supporter, because he recognizes Trumps leadership ability and close connection with the American public, and because he knows what a disaster a Hillary Clinton Presidency would be. Megyn, unthinkably, seems to be a closet liberal who actually wants Hillary to win. Its clear that Megyn is on her way out of Fox News. Bill OReilly will not stand for Megyns lack of solidarity with the Republican partys nominee, and is the driving force behind ousting her. Sarah Ellison from Vanity Fair recently wrote that theres palpable hatred between OReilly and Kelly, and quoted a former Fox News executive saying, youd have to have the worlds greatest interventional therapist to come and sit down with them both. What do you think about Megyn Kelly and her future at Fox News? 
3	Apocalyptic TV: Art Imitating Life or Predictive Programming?Nicholas West Doomsday is another matter entirely. As 2012 approaches, we have doomsday coming in every stripe: World War III, religious rapture, Mayan prophecies, Nibiru, alien intervention, and even a zombie apocalypse: you name it. People are prepping like never before and even building their doomsday bunkers to ride it out. And all the while Hollywood is right there either to be a reflection of our concerns that can be capitalized upon, or to give a lending hand to global management who would like us to behave a certain way when the inevitable doomsday does arrive its a technique known as predictive programming. No matter your view, the flurry of apocalyptic television programming and major motion pictures should get our attention, as we are being shown how entertaining the end of the world can be. Revolution (NBC) It is apparent from the trailer that the powergrid has failed (and is perhaps an inside job) and that the real power is what survivors are struggling for. Revolution takes place 15 years after the apocalyptic event and we are shown a bleak landscape which appears to be like Road Warrior meets the Hunger Games. 
3	Pentagon Plans to Invest Billions in Undersea Drone NetworkBy Nicholas West Their latest brainchild, according to a report in the Washington Post is an undersea network of drones and drone launch pods that will cover the 7 seas with patrol and defense capabilities. Some of this was put on display during the recent military exercise among many of the allied nations known as Unmanned Warrior 2016 that took place off the Scottish coast. A wide range of autonomous systems were tested, as well as a test of an overall web of communication between land, air, and sea vehicles. But apparently there is much more to come. Emphasis added. Despite the immense difficulties, the Navy has been testing and fielding several new systems designed to map the ocean floor, seek out mines, search for submarines and even launch attacks. While the unmanned crafts are now able to stay out for days or weeks, the goal is to create an underwater network of service stations that would allow the vehicles to do their jobs for months and eventually years. . . The Office of Naval Research (ONR), which looks to develop advanced technologies, is seeking to build the Eisenhower highway network on the seabeds in the seven oceans, Rear Adm. Mathias Winter, head of the office, said at a conference hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies this year. The ultimate goal is to have large-scale deployments of UUVs, he said. We want them to go out for decades at a time. As intimated throughout the WaPo article, this is all considered necessary since countries around the world have joined the global drone arms race. In reality, it is a feedback loop that ensures ongoing potential conflict, as well as guaranteed income for the military-industrial complex. Here are just a few of the specific systems that the Washington Post highlights as being in the pipeline: Below are just some of the videos that reveal what is currently available to roam the seas, and what is scheduled for further development. Given the massive investment undertaken on the backs of U.S. citizens, and given the scope of the threat from autonomous systems of war that continues to be warned about, one is left only to wonder which is the better outcome success or failure. It also remains to be seen what other nations will have to say about the U.S. openly stating its plan to dominate all of the oceans on planet Earth.

You may freely share this article in part or in full with author attribution and source link. Image Credit: Anthony Freda Art The Pentagon is such a monstrous death cult funded by trillions in extorted tax dollars it has to find a way to justify its own existence by bombing killing maiming everything on the planet. And how many homeless are there in America? Perhaps if a small portion of the Pentagrams budget could be spent on creating jobs, treating the mentally ill and addicted as well as providing affordable Public Housing then the United States might again achieve a measure of respect among the Global community. An end to their invasions of countries that are no threat to them (a subject I could easily write 8 pages on) in order to steal their resources whilst establishing Israels hegemony is another sore-point among those of us who werent so blessed to be born in the Land of the Free. May I suggest to Mr Trump: A War on global poverty in place of the War on Terror. The rich may not continue to get richer off it but is that really what life is all about? The US realizes it is far behind its chosen enemies in this technology and wants to spend billions to stay close behind. Im sure they will develop the air drones, next, to the extant that they will just pull a trigger and its lights out. A bottomless pit. Get rid of them. 
1	In an effort to comfort the distraught former presidential candidate, top GOP leaders reportedly sat down next to a sobbing Marco Rubio Thursday and assured him that it wasnt his fault the Republican Party was splitting up. Marco, trust me, this isnt about youweve been having problems for years, said RNC chairman Reince Priebus, who consoled the weeping Florida senator by repeatedly telling him that the partys breakup had nothing to do with anything he had said or done. The fact is, we tried our best to work through our issues, but we just fought all the time. Theres nothing you or any of the other establishment candidates could have done about it. Okay, buddy? At press time, Rubio had started blubbering even louder when Priebus admitted the party would probably never reconcile. 
2	Doctors Leak Details Of Michelle Obamas Health, This Is Gonna Make You Sick When she is not in the spotlight, Michelle Obama has made a clear attempt to keep her personal life as private possible. So when doctors revealed information about a liposuction procedure, it was a little bit hard for the First Lady to accept. Especially given the fact that she is known for encouraging children and adults across the country to eat healthy and get in shape. Now, it is up to Michelle to explain to those same people why she had liposuction, and why she felt she couldnt lose the extra weight with exercise and a healthy diet alone. Some believe that the procedure shows that the First Lady may be less active than she attempts to claim. According to friends of Michelle, she has also spoken out against cosmetic procedures. Still, Michelle defended the news by claiming that women have the freedom to do what they feel is necessary to feel good about their bodies. Still, many Americans feel this is just one of many displays of the Obamas hypocrisy. What do you think about the shocking new reports? 
2	Boycott NFL Sweeps The Nation: If Ungrateful Players Can Sit Out Nation Anthem, Proud Fans Can Sit Out Games The American public is tired of the NFLs silence as players continue to disrespect the American flag, our country, and those who served it. On Thursday night, Denver Broncos player Brand Marshall became the latest player to take a knee during the anthem. He was also the first of the regular season. His protest came just hours after Seattle Seahawks players threatened a team-wide protest for their upcoming game. These were just a few on the incidences that caused Americans everywhere to start using #BoycottNFL on social media. It has since become one of the top trending topics on Twitter. If more losers continue to disrespect our flag I will #boycottNFL I will hold owners and coaches accountable, one Twitter user commented. If the NFL decides that it will make a mockery of September 11 15th anniversary I say I will never watch a football game again #boycottNFL, another user chimed in. What do you think of this call to boycott the NFL? Is it time they took a stand? 
1	DAVIS, CAFollowing a family get-together Sunday, 7-year-old Tom Morris reported that he didn't really see what was so great about his great-grandmother Sarah Lott. 'Grandma Lott is okay, I guess, but she sorta just sat there with this dazed look on her face until Aunt Debbie gave her a chocolate-covered cherry,' Morris said. 'All-right Grandma Lott, maybe. But 'great'?' Morris conceded that there might be a side to the wheelchair-bound 87-year-old he hasn't seen. 
2	Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, And Sarah Palin Come Together To Take THIS Massive Stand Against Obama Presidential hopefuls Donald Trump and Ted Cruz came together to protest the proposed nuclear agreement with Iran on Wednesday, highlighting how the deal will cost countless American and Israeli lives with little benefit to the United States. We are led by very, very stupid people, Trump claimed, calling the deal incompetent. We will have so much winning if I get elected, that you may get bored with winning, he continued. Cruz went on to claim that supporters of the deal will be left with blood on their hands. You cannot wash your hands of that, Cruz claimed. Any commander-in-chief worthy of defending this nation should be prepared to stand up on Jan. 20, 2017 and rip to shreds this catastrophic deal. While Cruz and Trump may appear to be allies, with Cruz inviting Trump to the event, Trump has acknowledged that the pair have a little bit of romance that is likely only set to last for the very initial part of the race. The event brings to light the similarities and difference between Trump and Cruz. Trump is a legendary businessman, while Cruz is a tea party hero. While Trump has been painted as the villain of the Republican race, Cruz continues to receive praise from his competition. Although the protest will not change the approval of the agreement, it gives both candidates an opportunity to address foreign policy and speak their minds about potential consequences. What do you think? Do you support Cruz or Trump? 
2	Gary Sinise Risks His Hollywood Career To Do THIS For American Veterans [VIDEO] Its no secret that coming out as a Christian or a conservative in Hollywood is a dangerous career move. Thats why actors who do stand up for what they believe in are few and far between. Fortunately, there are a brave few who do step forward and make an impact. Actor Gary Sinise is one of those people. The Gary Sinise Foundation has raised millions of dollars for smart houses for injured veterans, giving them the opportunity to live the lives that most Americans take for granted. Sinise has long been a supporter of our men and women in uniform. Do you applaud him for his efforts? 
1	With their hilarious put-downs of each other and classic back-and-forth bickering in front of neighbors, local married couple David and Sheila Holt are quietly becoming one of Glendale's favorite comedy teams, sources reported Monday. Though David and Sheila remain unaware of their comedy duo status, friends and family members maintain that the couple's uproarious act, including their famous 'It's all your faultthis whole stupid mess is your goddamn fault' routine, is more than enough reason to check them out. 'They're like the perfect odd couple,' said neighbor Michael Pecore, a self-described fan, who has watched the Holts perform countless times from his living room window. 'Whether they're arguing over home mortgage payments, or delivering one of their trademark 'Jesus Christ, what more do you want from me?' zingers, David and Sheila never disappoint. I can listen to them all night long from across the street and not get tired of it.' The hilarious duo delights neighbors with an amusing new bit about David's idiot friends. According to neighborhood sources, David and Sheila are best known for their rapid-fire exchanges, impeccable timing, and ability to play off each other's insecurities for hours on end. Witnesses claim the duo also excels at a wide variety of comedic styles, from observational musings on why the godforsaken lights are always on in the house, to more slapstick fare, such as the time Sheila threw David's new rotary saw into the pool. The married couple also often works blue. 'They do this thing where they're having a fight and both of them are yelling at each other, but they're each yelling about completely different things, and, like, they don't realize it the entire time,' said close friend Samantha Meyers, who has attended a number of dinner parties at the Holts' home. 'I think I've seen that one bit maybe 10 times now.' In addition to their sidesplitting, off-color fights, David and Sheila are famous for several different characters they play. These include Sheila's my-mother-was-right-about-you-all-along homemaker and David's boozy drunk, a reoccurring character who comes home late from work, spends the next three hours silently consuming alcohol in the den, and finally tumbles down the stairs before uttering his wry catchphrase, 'Fucking life.' 'Sometimes it's not so much what they say, but more their physical mannerisms that crack me up,' said Harold Baker, a mailman who often passes the married couple's home on his route. 'Last week, Sheila was in the driveway and she asked David if he had remembered to check on the dryer like she asked, and well, David shot her this deadpan look that was absolutely priceless.' 'I like David,' Baker continued. 'He's my favorite.' The husband and wife team, together now for almost 20 years, reportedly performs all around the Glendale area. In the past month alone, David and Sheila have done their act in the dairy aisle of a nearby supermarket, in line at the bank, and wherever David happens to bring up the fact that other men don't have to spend every waking moment next to their suffocating wives. 'They were doing all their tried-and-true stuff at Home Depot yesterday,' said Steven Weathers, an employee at the home improvement store. 'You know, the old 'push the cart where I need you to push the damn cart' number, and that great bait-and-switch thing where David says he has to use the bathroom, but then takes off for half an hour.' 'Well, I was watching them, when all of a sudden they roll out this amazing new bit,' Weathers continued. 'I don't remember it exactly, but it started with Sheila accidentally dropping a vase on the ground, and then, I think, David, he just lets out this monster sigh, which makes Sheila really angry, so sheand this is the crazy partslaps him in the face, and David looks at her, and he's almost crying, and he says, 'I want a divorce. I'm not happy. I haven't been happy for years.'' Said Weathers, 'Man, how do they come up with this stuff?' Despite their popularity, rumors about the couple's future have spread in recent days, with some even speculating that the legendary twosome may be thinking about calling it quits. 'I can't believe they're breaking upthey were so great together,' neighbor Michael Rosenbloom said. 'I wish I had known they were having problems. I probably could have done something to help.' 
2	BREAKING: Multiple States Ban Islamic Sharia Law After reports that the Muslim Brotherhood was creating a political party that would urge states to adopt Sharia law into our legal system, some states have made the controversial decision to take preemptive action. The concern surrounds the negative impact that Islamic law would have on women and children. Several states have preemptively decided to create legislation that bans Sharia law from their courtrooms. So far, seven states have voted to adopt anti-Sharia law legislation, with North Carolina and Florida being the most recent to join. In Oklahoma, legislation to ban Sharia law was struck down by the court for discriminating among religions without justification, leaving the state vulnerable to the dangers posed by Islamic law. In order to avoid the bill being deemed religious discrimination, North Carolina lawmakers decided to ban the enforcement of all foreign laws, rather than mentioning Sharia law directly. The decision was a reaction to the law being denied in Oklahoma after being declared unconstitutional. Supporters of the ban on Sharia law believe that the action is necessary, serving as a safeguard to protect our legal system from being forced to adopt laws that are not in alignment with the Constitution. Others argue that the law is irrelevant, as the Constitution overrides foreign laws already. (The legislation is) primarily designed to stir up anti-Islamic prejudice by creating fears that Islamic Sharia law is somehow going to take over the American legal system, claimed Carl Ernst, a religious studies professor at the University of North Carolina, in an interview with theDaily Tarheel. Still, supporters claim we mustput our own rules and regulations first. No one has a problem with Muslims or anyone else living peaceably in America, the Rev. Mark Creech wrote on theChristian Action Leaguewebsite. But on U.S. soil, we must all embrace the freedoms and responsibilities assigned us via the Constitution, and not demand enforcement of rules and regulations left behind in other cultures. What do you think? Should we ban Sharia law?

After going undefeated, they totally deserved the Summer League title, said the sad-looking Go-Rent-A Car employee who desperately wants to have some kind of human contact. Ian Clark may have won the MVP, but that kid [Kent] Bazemore stuck out as a player with real potential. At press time, Quinn declared Andre Iguodala was a solid pick up while silently wondering if anybody would miss him if he died.

1	According to a new report released Saturday by Major League Baseball, a record number of outfield collisions have occurred during the 2012 season due to the rising trend of texting-while-fielding. Unfortunately, weve seen over 600 incidents this year alone, which is roughly triple the number of recorded fielding crashes in 2009, said the leagues Vice President of Baseball Operations, Joe Torre, revealing that approximately 70 percent of the outfielders in a recent survey admitted to sending texts or emails while trying to catch a pop fly within the last six months. Texting-while-fielding is incredibly dangerous not only to yourself, but also your teammates. We know it might seem like an important message at the time, but it's just not worth the risk when you're chasing a line drive or sprinting for a hard grounder. At press time, Cleveland Indians outfielder Michael Brantley was being rushed to the hospital after slamming into Ezequiel Carrera while texting I got it to teammates.

The video shows Dontae Morris being sentenced to death. And this judge is clearly not afraid to speak his mind. A reporter on the case said you could hear a pin drop in the courtroom it was so silent, and the audience was instructed not to act out loud. Morris family was in the room as he was sentenced for the premeditated murder of two Tampa police officers. Many there were also mourning the loss of Davis Curtis and Jeffrey Kocab, the two officers killed in the incident. These two men had decided to live their lives protecting others. But Morris stripped that from them. He deserves punishment for his actions. Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

2	Islamic Compound Discovered On U.S. Soil There is no denying it. President Barack Obama continues to downplay the threats that this nation is facing at the hands of Islamist extremists. Recently, reporters Joe Biggs and Josh Owens from Infowars decided to shed some light into Islamberg, a Muslim community that many claim is a terrorism compound. Of course, it didnt take long for them to be interrogated by New York Police and an FBI Terror Task Force about their intentions. Islamberg is located in the town of Tompkins in Delaware County. Biggs and Owens decided to take a trip there after hearing rumors that the hamlet was a secret training ground for jihadists. Reports of the town first surfaced when witnesses reported hearing unusual sounds and gunfire and explosionsemanating from the compound. After approaching the guards, Biggs and Owens were told that they could not enter the perimeter until their credentials were vetted. Biggs provided his phone number and was contacted shortly thereafter by the Joint Terrorism Task Force. Owens also received a call, even though he had not provided his number to anyone. This comes just one month after Biggs was chased out of Molenbeek Belgium with reporters Paul Joseph Watson and Michael Zimmerman. The trio had entered a no-go zone labeled the jihadist capital of Europe. What do you think? Is there something going on here that Obamas FBI is trying to cover up?

We hereby cast you from our sight, Red Ellen. Find a rock outcropping on the outskirts of town; there you must reside for seven days, or until that fateful hour at which you are no longer unclean, West Coast accounts director Dan Fischer told the 34-year-old Neely, adding that until the crimson defilement recedes, she must fast while the sun is up and refrain from cooking, worship, and work-related email. Take this pack of food, and do not touch your colleagues as you leave. The scent is thick on you, bleeding one. Go! Banished! Banished! At press time, sources say the sales team was driving Neely from the break room by beating her ankles with sticks. 
1	In an effort to improve the partys chances in the 2016 election, GOP officials announced Thursday that the Republican National Committee has built a functional full-scale replica of a struggling Ohio town in which to train presidential hopefuls. Top-level Republican sources told reporters they have been using the fake town of Stocktonville, OH, which is located in a remote stretch of central Montana, to rigorously prepare candidates since completing construction of the 18-square-mile facility last month. According to GOP leaders, the recently erected village, which is inhabited by 33,000 actors coached to portray middle-class Americans such as small-business owners and auto workers, replicates every location and personal interaction a candidate could expect to encounter while campaigning in a critical Rust Belt swing county. Every morning, we start running our candidates through their itinerary of simulated voter meet-and-greets at Stocktonvilles mock schools, shopping centers, and town squares, having them redo each leg over and over until they get it right, said Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus, noting how the locality has been meticulously crafted to reflect an unemployment rate of 8.3 percent, a median income of $38,000, and a sense of uneasiness about the direction of the country. So, whether its learning to naturally put on a hardhat and Carhartt jacket to impress the workers at one of our six artificial factories, or tossing out the first pitch at our life-size double-A baseball field, our fully immersive training grounds provide a safe place for candidates to work out the kinks before running for office. Presidential hopefuls reportedly find meet-and-greets to be the most grueling aspect of training. With enough repetition in here, theyll soon be interacting with real voters on the campaign trail based on nothing but pure muscle memory, Priebus continued. While project leaders reportedly designed over 70 unique whistle-stop stations within the training facility, RNC sources said the centerpiece of the constructed town is Elles Place, a fully operational roadside diner where candidates repeatedly rehearse the key steps of casually rolling up their sleeves, removing their necktie, and unfastening their top two shirt buttons before sitting down to talk about the economy with blue-collar workers. Reports indicated that the facilitys design team employed regional experts to ensure the authenticity of every aspect of the faux restaurant, from the wardrobe of truck drivers at the counter who must be greeted with a hearty Morning, fellas and slapped on the back, to the recipe for the unpalatable World-Famous Chili, which candidates must learn to choke down while maintaining an approving smile. GOP operatives confirmed that, once the candidate waves goodbye to patrons before slipping back onto the campaign bus, site technicians quickly reset the props and return the actors to their starting positions in order for the presidential hopeful to run through the course once again from the top. It took me a while, but Ive become pretty comfortable serving meals at the homeless shelter portion of the course, said former Florida governor Jeb Bush, who has reportedly been extremely committed to the training program, oftentimes returning late at night to put in extra effort posing confidently yet casually in photo ops with the facilitys fake eighth-grade civics class and with the actors playing the staff of Stocktonvilles artificial mom-and-pop store. But when I drive over to the VA hospital to talk with veterans, I always screw up my one-on-one with the guy playing a young soldier back from Afghanistan who is going through his physical therapy session. I know Im supposed to start by putting my hand on the veterans shoulder and saying Thank you for serving our country, but I never know when to say how he exemplifies the best qualities of America. I always forget and start stumbling over my words, and then all of a sudden the air horn goes off and they stop the simulation, Bush added. I must have messed that up at least 20 times by now. Despite a number of initial successes, including teaching every candidate the exact pacing at which to drink a single beer while chatting with patrons at the custom-built local bar, a number of insiders confirmed that the Stocktonville facility has experienced several setbacks. The fake town has reportedly suffered countless mechanical malfunctions in its animatronic county fair simulation, and potential candidates are said to have repeatedly failed to show any believable empathy during town hall meetings when fake residents explain how they lost their jobs during an economic downturn, both problems that technicians on the ground have yet to be able to remedy. GOP sources were quick to point out, however, that the current facility is still a vast improvement over the single ropeline of mannequin voters that served as a practice ground in 2012. Whats most important is that the Stocktonville Complex provides a protected, controlled environment for candidates to attempt to connect with our simulated middle-class Americans, said RNC co-chairman Sharon Day, who often takes time to watch for herself from the facilitys various observation posts. Rand Paul has probably separated himself as the best at reading a passage of Scripture during our mock church service, and Marco Rubio was the first to master deftly handling the heckler we choreographed for the rally. Rob Portman, however, is still making mistakes talking about Social Security with the actors at our senior citizen home, which at this point in his training is simply unacceptable. Were thinking Friday might be his last day with the program, Day added. At press time, RNC leaders confirmed they had discontinued the leg of training that involved entering Stocktonvilles African-American neighborhood, saying it was simply too difficult for all of the candidates. 
3	Obama and Congress Approve Resolution That Supports UN Internet TakeoverSusanne Posel, Contributor The ICCIS sets forth specific principles of maintaining information and network security which cover the political, military, economic, social, cultural, technical and other aspects. The ICCIS mandates that countries not be allowed to use information and telecommunications technologies to conduct hostile behaviors and acts of aggression or to threaten international peace and security and stress that countries have the rights and obligations to protect their information and cyberspace as well as key information and network infrastructure from threats, interference and sabotage attacks. Read the full text here. Army General Keith Alexander, commander of the US Cyber Command (USCC) and director of the National Security Agency (NSA), does not support the UNs International Telecommunication Union; citing that the US needs to independently protect their critical networks such as electrical power, banking, transportation and other key elements of society. Alexander would like for individual nations to control and regulate their Internet. Keith suggests using cloud technology by remote computer servers to mitigate cyber threats and monitor the activity of web users. He said: These are things that you must do to secure your networks for government survivability. Alexander mentioned that the Congress is currently debating whether or not to mandate US firms be required to admit their knowledge of information concerning cyber-attacks. The increase of cell phone and Internet use has elevated the threat level, according to Alexander. He sees this technology in the hands of the general public as a lack of security of the years and would like to see more stringent controls put in place. Shawn Henry, FBI executive assistant director for cyber-issues and a conference speaker would like to see the ability of the US government to identify anonymous cyber-attackers and called for assurance of telecommunications to control the Internet by remote security. Henry stated: The Internet was developed with protocols allowing for anonymity and there are legitimate reasons for wanting it that way. But for those critical uses of the Internet where intrusion is entirely unacceptable and we must be able to identify the users, market-driven factors may prompt the private sector to explore solutions and alternate architectures to meet those needs. Senator Marco Rubio affirmed that the State Department will assign a speaker to send to international talks with the UN in December of this year. Rubio, who denounced the FCC for Internet neutrality and then suddenly withdrew his support of the Protect IP Act (PIPA) and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). Then admonished Senate Majority leader Harry Reid to bring SOPA and PIPA back to the Senate floor for re-discussion. When speaking about Chinas internet censoring practices, Rubio said: Any place that bans certain terms from search should not be a leader in international Internet regulatory framework. Rubio is absolutely hypocritical, believing that his support of Internet regulatory laws is somehow different than Chinas outright Internet controls. Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State, has promoted the use of cell phone technology to amplify the US governments ability to survey American and international citizens. The UNs International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is an agency of the UN that oversees the international regulation of long-distance calls and satellite orbits. Russia, who originally co-founded the ITU, supports it as an international cooperation on cybersecurity and internet matters. Robert McDowell, Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) commissioner said back in 2011 that the ITU was an attempt by authoritarian regimes to reshape the Internet as we know it. McDowell supposed that this multi-stakeholders progression would be governed through non-governmental organizations (NGOs). McDowell said: The commission plays, actually, a supporting role as a sort of technical advisor to the State Department. The State Department takes the lead role on that. I understand that through both private and public information that the State Department will be announcing a head of the U.S. delegation, a head negotiator, probably next month sometime. This comes at a crucial time as some very crucial meetings are going to take place internationally later in June leading towards a treaty negotiation in Dubai this December, so its really of utmost importance that the United States cultivates allies throughout the world and especially the developing world, which could be devastated by international regulation of Internet governance. Scott Cleland, a member of the United States Department of State Advisory Committee on International Communications and Information Policy (USDSACICIP), holds that the creation of ITUnet would essentially be an international alternative to the current Internet that is totally controlled by global governance through supposed voluntary compliance, yet rules and regulations would be enforced by international law. Cleland said: Everything about the Internet is voluntary, and in order for this to work, countries would have to leave the Internet and join an ITUnet. Only authoritarian regimes and their allies want an ITUnet. That would provide political cover for them to take control of their national Internet. This argument of international versus US governmental control over the Internet seems moot to Evgenvy Morozov, member of the think-tank the New American Foundation. Morozov stated: While Hillary Clinton likes to give speeches in which she fashions herself the worlds greatest defender of Internet freedom, the harsh reality is that her own government is its greatest enemy. Given the never-ending flow of draconian copyright and cybersecurity laws coming from Washington, this fact is getting harder and harder to conceal from the global public, who starts to wonder why American diplomats keep criticizing Russia or China but dont say anything about the impressive online spying operation that the National Security Agency is building in Utah. Now, in response to the debates over UTI, the US Congress has approved HR 628 claims to support preserve, enhance, and increase access to an open, global Internet. Congress has taken the position of thinking of themselves as an advocate for the free flow of information, Internet freedom, and multi-stakeholder governance internationally. Yet our Congress has shown conflicting points of view when contending that they are a multi-stakeholder supporting global governance which is in direct opposition with promoting the free flow of information and Internet freedom. The Obama administration created the International Strategy for Cyberspace (ISC) which makes an international governance policy priority. Obamas desire to facilitate the US governments push toward global engagement, the ISC encompasses a new vision for cyberspace. By using economic prosperity dependent on revamping cyberspace, Obama places the need for over-reaching cybersecurity over the Internet. By militarizing the control over the web, Obama claims the Internet as a strategic national asset malleable by the US government. Obama contended that protecting the internet will be a national security priority and that: We will ensure that these networks are secure, trustworthy and resilient. This is just the beginning of a conversation within governments, between governments, the private sector and beyond, said Howard Schmidt, the White House cybersecurity coordinator. According to HR 628: Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that if a resolution calling for endorsement of the proposed international code of conduct for information security or a resolution inconsistent with the principles above comes up for a vote in the United Nations General Assembly or other international organization, the Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations or the United States representative to such other international organization should oppose such a resolution. The UTI and HR 628 are evidence of the end of free flowing information that is protected by and for the people. As governments place more stringent controls on the Web, and the soon-to-be ratified UTI in December of this year, we can be assured that we will very quickly only have access to information that is approved by the UN.

2	Soldier Responds To Woman Calling Military Entitled You would think that Americans would have an innate respect for the men and women in uniform who fight each day to protect the safety of our citizens. Unfortunately some people are too selfish to understand the sacrifice these people are making to keep ensure our freedom. Incidents like the one this active duty serviceman faced after a tour in Afghanistan are far too common. The soldier, whose name has been intentionally left out of the story, took to Facebook to share his experience. Now, the story is going viral to bring awareness to this major issue. Read it below and tell us what you think. Is this absolutely outrageous? 
1	The race toward the 85th Academy Awards heated up today as Silver Linings Playbook star Bradley Cooper racked up an astonishing one Oscar nominations. Lincoln and Life Of Pi both had a great day, for sure, but I think the real news story here was Bradley Cooper, who walked away with a massive one nominations, said E! News correspondent Rachel Whitaker, adding that while the 38-year-old actor had been expected to get somewhere around zero nominations, most were stunned to see the star tally a stunning grand total of one. This huge haul absolutely demolishes Coopers previous personal best of no nominations in 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, and 2004. Coopers big morning comes on the heels of the actor announcing he would be starring in the upcoming half-film, The Hangover Part III.

1	Calling it an essential step toward securing the Texas border and protecting his people's way of life, Gov. Rick Perry announced Tuesday the completion of a 1,953-mile wall designed to keep out millions of unwanted Americans. According to Perry, the 75-foot-high barricade running along the northern boundary is the culmination of more than 160 years of escalating tensions between Texas and the United States. Though a protective barrier has been under consideration for decades, the Texas Legislature voted unanimously to begin construction on the project immediately following the 2008 presidential election. 'As governor, it is my responsibility to do whatever's necessary to maintain the territorial integrity of Texas,' Perry told reporters during a press conference held inside a sniper tower overlooking Oklahoma. 'If you are a Texas citizen, you shouldn't have to worry about some American coming in here, using your goods and services, and taking away your job.' 'Let the record show I have nothing personal against Americans,' Perry added. 'I just think they should stay in America, where they belong.' The wall is comprised of six security layers: a razor-wire fence equipped with motion sensors, surveillance cameras, and guard towers; a 70-foot-wide trench with expert marksmen stationed along its perimeter; a roadway patrolled by armed vehicles equipped with synchronized electromagnetic wave gradiometers to detect Americans attempting to tunnel their way into Texas; and a second, third, and fourth fence. The final section of the barricade, a reinforced concrete enclosure containing the city of Austin, will be finished by August 2009. 'These Americans are destroying the moral and social fabric of our state,' said Rep. Chris Turner, who added that he worries when he looks around Texas and sees people from places like Pennsylvania, Iowa, and Vermont. 'The man who used to repair my truck was replaced by some mechanic who moved in here from Kansas. Lately I can't go to the store or the bank without running into all kinds of these foreigners. This wall is the only hope we have of keeping Texas safe.' 'The truth is, Americans are just different from us,' Turner added. 'We don't even speak the same language.' According to Texas Army National Guard Brig. Gen. Tom Alford, Americans will only be permitted to cross the border if they have immediate family living in Texas, in which case they can apply for a 90-minute monitored visitation to be held inside a checkpoint detention facility. However, Alford stressed that any American attempting to transport barbecue sauce, beef jerky, belt buckles, or longhorn cattle back to the United States will face the death penalty. Thus far, a majority of Texas citizens support the border wall, with nearly 8 million signing up to join a coalition of Minutemen that will guard the fence. 'These good-for-nothing Americans want to come in here and wait in the same lines as me, watch the same movies, and eat at the same restaurants,' El Paso resident and border patrol volunteer Larry Carlile told reporters. 'Who do they think they are? I'd never dare waltz into America and act like I owned the place. That country's a godforsaken hellhole, anyway.' 'Round 'em up and get 'em out,' Carlile added. 'Go back to Seattle or whatever you call it.' Since the wall's completion, there has been no official comment from Washington. However, sources close to President Obama said that upon being informed of Gov. Perry's announcement the commander in chief muttered, 'Thank God.' 
1	Reportedly fed up with complicated and protracted operations overseas, top Pentagon officials acknowledged this week they were desperate to be given just one straightforward, no-nonsense military engagement they could really knock out of the park. 'Given all these messy, ambiguous conflicts we've been fighting against enemies you can't even put your finger on, what we could really use right now is a plain old war against a clear-cut bad guy employing conventional tactics and weaponry,' said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. 'No roadside bombs or plainclothes militants hiding out among innocent civiliansjust a fair fight where two sides shoot at each other and someone wins. That's it.' 'If Congress or our commander in chief could pull a few strings to make that happen, I swear we could totally nail a war like that, no question,' Dempsey added. 'The sort of thing where you go in, blow up a number of actual tanks and jets, declare victory, plant a flag, and then exitthat's all we're asking for.' Citing the country's long history of winning wars against sovereign nations with actual standing armies, the Pentagon's top brass repeatedly assured reporters they would 'completely wipe the floor' with such an opponent if given the chance, and promised they would make America 'very, very proud.' Additionally, military leaders said that engaging in such a conflict 'would be a huge confidence boost for [them] right now.' 'We'd be really grateful if the United States became embroiled in a war requiring us to bomb munitions factories, engage in aerial dogfights, or torpedo battleships,' said Marine Corps commandant Gen. James Amos, noting that when it comes to facing actual armies with actual naval and air weaponry, the U.S. is 'great at that stuff.' 'I guarantee it would be an absolute slam dunk for us.' 'Come on,' the four-star general added, 'we really, really need this.' Admitting they 'can't even look at a map of the Middle East anymore,' members of the Joint Chiefs also said they were still skittish about Southeast Asia and would prefer to 'stay as far away as possible' from any situation in which the term 'insurgency' might apply. Additionally, the nation's top generals stressed it was vitally important that any new conflict have a clear standard by which to measure victory, front lines 'that are actually lines,' and conditions under which dropping bombs actually weakens the enemy instead of rallying more people to its cause and making it stronger. 'While we'd gladly take almost any conventional military confrontation, we'd really prefer to liberate an oppressed citizenry that would be unconditionally happy when we arrived,' said Gen. James Mattis, head of U.S. Central Command. 'Ideally, we'd like to avoid that whole mixture of violent loathing toward us as occupiers and utter dependence on us as peacekeepers. That's not really our strong suit.' 'I should also point out that it's been a while since we last had a good old-fashioned European war,' Mattis continued. 'Because that sort of thing might just do the trick for us. We know the area, the culture, and all the languages real well. Give us a war with a nice, dependable Western front, and we could bang that sucker out in our sleep, no problem. Just something to think about.' Pentagon leaders also said they were open to the option of a sovereign nation attacking the United States directly, stating that nothing mobilizes a country or boosts troop morale faster than the defense of one's home soil. In addition, they noted that a war in which America is not seen as the aggressor is 'exactly the type of thing we're talking about here.' 'Ultimately, we just want a chance to unleash our full land, air, and sea power on actual uniformed soldiers for a change,' Army chief of staff Gen. Ray Odierno said. 'Believe me, if America let us do that, I've no doubt we could totally lay waste and come home victorious.' As of press time, the Navy had positioned its entire Atlantic fleet along the coast of Portugal and informed the president and Congress it was 'ready to go' if given the word. 
3	Shock: Comparing deaths from medical drugs, vitamins, all US warsJon Rappoport And of course, the best of all possible worlds must have its enemies: the quacks who sell unproven snake oil. So lets look at some facts. As Ive been documenting in my last several articles, the medical cartel has been engaged in massive criminal fraud, presenting their drugs as safe and effective across the boardwhen, in fact, these drugs have been killing and maiming huge numbers of people, like clockwork. Ive cited the review, Is US Health Really the Best in the World?, by Dr. Barbara Starfied (Journal of the American Medical Association, July 26, 2000), in which Starfield reveals the American medical system kills 225,000 people per year106,000 as a direct result of pharmaceutical drugs. Ive now found another study, published in the same Journal, two years earlier: April 15, 1998; Incidence of Adverse Drug Reactions in Hospitalized Patients. It, too, is mind-boggling. The authors, led by Jason Lazarou, culled 39 previous studies on patients in hospitals. These patients, who received drugs in hospitals, or were admitted to hospitals because they were suffering from the drugs doctors had given them, met the following fate: Every year, in the US, between 76,000 and 137,000 hospitalized patients die as a direct result of the drugs. Beyond that, every year 2.2 MILLION hospitalized patients experience serious adverse reactions to the drugs. So this study had nothing to do with doctor errors, nurse errors, or improper combining of drugs. And it only counted people killed who were admitted to hospitals. It didnt begin to tally all the people taking pharmaceuticals outside hospitals who died as consequence of the drugs. I found the link to this study at the Dr. Rath Health Foundation, in the middle of a very interesting article by Dr. Aleksandra Niedzwiecki: Commentary on the Safety of Vitamins. Here are two key quotes from her article: In 2010, not one single person [in the US] died as a result of taking vitamins (Bronstein, et al, (2011) Clinical Toxical, 49 (10), 910-941). In 2004, the deaths of 3 people [in the US] were attributed to the intake of vitamins. Of these, 2 persons were said to have died as a result of megadoses of vitamins D and E, and one person as a result of an overdose of iron and fluoride. Data from: Toxic Exposure Surveillance System 2004, Annual Report, Am. Assoc. of Poison Control Centers. Summing up: No deaths from vitamins (2011), and three deaths (2004) from vitamins (plus fluoride!). 106,000 deaths every year from pharmaceutical drugs (Starfield). Between 76,000 and 137,000 deaths from pharmaceutical drugs every year in hospitalized patients (Lazerou). The FDA and its quack-buster allies go after vitamins, demean unproven remedies, and generally take every possible opportunity to warn people about alternatives, on the basis that they arent scientifically supported. Meanwhile, the very drugs these mobsters are promotingand in the case of the FDA, CERTIFYING AS SAFE AND EFFECTIVEare killing and maiming people at a staggering rate. The masses are treated to non-stop PR on the glories of the US medical system. In the Wikipedia entry, US military casualties of war, the grand total of all military deaths in the history of this country, starting with the Revolutionary War, is 1,312,612. In any given 10 years of modern medical treatment? 2,250,000 deaths. Consider how much suppression is necessary to keep the latter number under wraps.

1	Columbia Pictures president Doug Belgrad admitted Monday that the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict was merely a promotional gimmick for the 2008 Adam Sandler vehicle You Don't Mess With The Zohan that spun a little out of control. 'They knew a comedy this big was going to need a big marketing hook, so back in '47, our guys called some people at the U.N., and next thing you know we had ourselves an ethnic conflict that turned into a nice little return at the box office,' Belgrad told reporters, adding that the comedy about an Israeli Mossad agent who fakes his own death to become a hairdresser in New York cost $90 million and several thousand lives. 'In retrospect, we should have maybe dialed back on the Six-Day War, but we needed somewhere to anchor that Fizzy Bubbeleh joke. You can't buy press like that.' Belgrad added that the film's highly anticipated sequel will involve Iran. 
1	Despite a wild-card loss to the Orioles that officially ended the Rangers season last week, outfielder Josh Hamilton told reporters Friday that he personally considered the season an immense success considering he made it through 163 games without killing a fan. Theres a part of me thats relieved we lost, because I was starting to feel like I was due, said Hamilton, adding that he had a couple close calls this year, including a hard-hit foul ball in August and nearly backing over a stroller with his car after a game in June. They say you just need to put it out of your head, but when you accidentally kill a father at a game with his son, how can you come up to bat without thinking, Here we go again? Even my home runs had me holding my breath until I saw them safely land without any bloodshed. The five-time All Star, who enters free agency this offseason, said his top priorities are a long-term contract and playing for a team that has at least 4-and-a-half foot tall railings surrounding the entire upper deck. 
2	Sharptons reaction? Priceless. 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	RIO RANCHO, NMLionel Carver, who appears in a Pringles commercial currently airing on major networks, was convicted of first-degree murder on NBC's Law & Order, area TV viewer Cami Taylor reported Monday. 'When [Carver] was led into the courtroom, I knew I'd seen him before,' Taylor said of Carver, who played Hank Greene, a domestic abuser charged with beating his wife to death with a tire iron. 'Then it hit mehe's the dad in that ad where the kids keep asking him trivia questions printed on the chips.' Taylor said she was happy Carver was convicted, but added that 'knowing our TV justice system, he'll probably be back on the streets in a Verizon commercial in a matter of weeks.' 
1	In a move aimed at protecting the nations natural and historical heritage from potential threats, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced this week it had relocated all major American landmarks into one big, carefully guarded pile in the center of the country. Spanning 25 square miles in a remote section of western Nebraska, the densely packed, 5,000-foot-high mound is said to contain every prominent national monument, historically designated building, and notable piece of public infrastructure from across the United States. From a strategic perspective, it just makes sense to put all these great symbols of America right here in one place, where we can keep an eye on all of them at once, said Homeland Security secretary Jeh Johnson, speaking in front of the pile, within which reporters could see a span of the Golden Gate Bridge, the extended arm of the Statue of Liberty, and, tucked beneath the St. Louis Arch, the South Portico of the White House. This way, we dont need to safeguard thousands of individual locations scattered all over the country. We can instead focus all our surveillance measures on this single heap. From now on, making sure Independence Hall, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, and Fenway Park are all safe and secure is as easy as doing a 20-minute perimeter patrol around the pile, Johnson added. Observers confirmed that within the tight confines of the pile one can find such familiar national landmarks as the Hoover Dam, Willis Tower, all bridges and tunnels going into or out of Manhattan, the Lincoln Memorial, Kennedy Space Center, the newly opened One World Trade Center, Fort Sumter, and most of the countrys international airports. In addition, authorities confirmed all 50 statehouses have been relocated to the site. According to sources within the government, the new plan will greatly simplify national security efforts, as the area can be protected by just a couple dozen guards stationed every half mile along the piles periphery. DHS officials also confirmed that a chain-link fence has been erected around the entire site and that the barrier will be topped with razor wire, which experts believe will serve as an added deterrent. I never thought Id be able to put my family in the car, drive for three hours, and see the Pearl Harbor memorial, but here we are. In addition to helping keep these famous symbols of America safe from a variety of manmade and natural threats, consolidating the most popular sites on the National Register of Historic Places into a single giant mound has allowed us to cut costs dramatically, said James Clapper, the director of national intelligence. Obviously weve suffered some setbacks, with Monticello and the Mesa Verde cliff dwellings crumbling during our attempts to transport them here, but in the long run were reducing our burden on taxpayers. Best of all, our intelligence agencies will be able to oversee the landmarks from headquarters located right here in Broadwater, NE, continued Clapper, which is now of course the United States capital, given the presence of the U.S. Capitol building, the Supreme Court, the National Mall, the Pentagon, and several hundred other federal buildings. Many Americans have reportedly been critical of the project, noting that Wyomings Devils Tower had been haphazardly placed atop the pile, almost completely crushing the Las Vegas Strip and Grand Central Terminal below it. At the same time, sources noted that the original copy of the U.S. Constitution was allegedly misplaced in the mile-high stack, though officials from the National Archives assured the public that the document was probably somewhere under the Alamo. However, sources confirmed that the first tourists to arrive at the massive pile had issued few complaints, with many telling reporters they had enjoyed visiting over 2,500 national landmarks in one convenient location. I never thought Id be able to put my family in the car, drive for three hours, and see the Pearl Harbor memorial, but here we are, 46-year-old Denver resident Kurt Riggins said as he toured the new resting place of the USS Arizona. It would have taken us years to see all this stuff if wed had to travel all over the country. And Ive gotta say, it was pretty cool to walk through the doors of Frank Lloyd Wrights Fallingwater and look out on Mount Rushmore in the very spot where the Battle of Bunker Hill took place. Unfortunately, I havent seen Carlsbad Caverns yet, he added. I was told Carlsbad Caverns was in there. 
3	Deescalating the PoliceI have learned over the years that when ones mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear. Rosa Parks Americans face a new crisis: police violence against citizens is escalating, blurring the line between criminal and public servant. Escalating violence against American citizens by police has reached a bifurcation point; Americans are feeling the heat and are beginning to realize something must be done to deescalate police or soon America will join the ranks of hell holes of police crime and violence like Mexico, Haiti, Russia, Uzbekistan and elsewhere where police are independent gangs, violent and undisciplined and devolving into something closer to pirates stealing property directly from their victims. Horror stories of police murdering, beating, raping and plundering citizens are daily news in a cities large and small. One city, Albuquerque, NM is now murdering more people per capita than NYPD during arrests, yet NYC is 14 times more populated. According to sources [1,2]: The APD routinely kills more suspects per capita than the NYPD, which serves a metro area 16 times the size of Albuquerque and has 34,000 officers to the APDs 1,000. Since 2010, the APD has been involved in 37 shootings in which 23 people died. Between 2010 and March 2012, the APD was involved in 18 fatal shootings to the NYPDs 22 in the same time period. No officer involved in any of the cases has been prosecuted or even fired, despite a body trail that suggests a department with wildly inappropriate use-of-force. [1] Recent headlines from sites like policebrutality.info highlight outrageous, egregious escalation of police brutality and violent gang-like behavior, here are just a few recent headlines: A survey of headlines from thegovernmentrag.com regarding police state activities reveals more of the same: Escalating police violence and brutality is being witnessed and suffered by people around the country in towns large and small; the police are now far more dangerous to people than criminals. There are numerous reasons for this type of police behavior with root causes to be found in a manufactured culture of fear and outsourcing of self responsibility to costumed authority groups with exaggerated legitimate authority. Police are not arbitrators or representatives of a loving government acting in the capacity of surrogate parents; they are representatives of the state, looking for crimes committed against the state and the fines and fees that will result. Protection of people and their property are low priority, optional functions of police. For further proof see this article: Justices Rule Police Do Not Have a Constitutional Duty to Protect Someone. [B] Whatever you do dont call the Police Family Calls 911 For Help With Special Needs Daughter, Cops Show Up And Shoot Her Dead: Neighbors claim girl was shot in the back Headlines like the one above are clear indicators that Americans are failing in their duty as self-responsible people and are voluntarily abdicating their rights and individualism. Calling the police to solve family problems or other non life threatening issues is like inviting a Vampire into your home to help with a paper cut. Americans have been pre-prepared for this abuse of police powers for decades; television and movies glorifying police powers go back into nineteen fifties. The events of 9-11 catapulted the glorification of police and firefighters and other officers and authorities, including using military as homeland protectors, into the position of a new religion. TV shows depict people calling the police for all domestic problems; calling police in situations that historically and traditionally have never involved police or government social workers or any other agency of a soulless State. Congenital Incompetence Collectivism is a psychologically damaging idea promoted and indoctrinated by enslavers; the idea that we are our brothers keeper, and government or the authorities are the Biggest Brother. Collectivist doctrine encourages insinuating the State into the family structure of the organic human family. Collectivism is a weaponized cultural virus-as-meme introduced by some to control all others. Collectivism is the mesmerizing mantra of a false culture working secretly at transferring individual responsibility and rights to a collection of nameless people for purposes of enslavement. It is the promulgation of previously and tirelessly repudiated collectivist doctrine via national information channels such as public education, movies, books, magazine articles, news channels and via public drama depicted in reality shows and authority glorifying TV shows that normalizes appealing to a nameless servant of a cold and armed State to solve problems historically and naturally solved by family and friends. Police and firefighters and military are now promoted as heroes in the news and police dramas airing on cable TV channels. The issue is not whether police and firefighters have dangerous jobs or, from time to time, that they may act heroically, the issue is about presenting police and other so-called authorities as a category of heroes. Presenting workers in these professions as heroes and always the good guy is psychologically dangerous because it sets up a false representation of reality. Historically, government police and military and officials of a collectivist culture have been the most brutal and eventually evolve to be populated with the worse kinds of human beings the opposite of good guys, in fact: the worst of mankind. Collectivism holds that an individual has no rights, that his life and work belong to the group and that the group may sacrifice him at its own whim to its own interests. The only way to implement a doctrine of that kind is by brute force and statism has always been the political corollary of collectivism Ayn Rand [emphasis added] Police and other uniformed officials are public servants voluntarily serving and functioning in a position which has historically screened for certain personality characteristics; characteristics that were once thought to include superior morals, and a motivation to serve and protect others with intelligence levels sufficient to power a strength of will to think and act according to the rule of law and civilized behavior. In America, the police officer must be aware of and act consistent with the fundamental principals of the U.S. Constitution and the Constitutions in their State of employment. These are not the qualifications of a hero, rather the qualifications of honest, dedicated, fair, intelligent and morally sound individuals. With television, the mainstream corporate media, movies and the indoctrination of public education presenting the authority figure as a super hero with perceived legitimate dominion over the lives of the Citizen, it is easy to see how this mentally unhealthy contradiction of reality has empowered and emboldened those given such exaggerated importance and authority. Federalization and Militarization of Police It is clear the United States Federal government is encouraging and paying for city police, Sheriffs and State police departments to train more like military soldiers than public safety and peace officers. The federal government is providing training, weapons, and military hardware to police departments in an unprecedented effort to create police departments rivaling the characteristics of military armies. A recent article on a website highlighting South Carolina news noted Richland County Sheriffs department receiving extra training as the U.S. military carry out secretive and noisy joint exercise [2] The article quoted the Sheriff as saying this joint exercise was Due to Sheriff Leon Lotts longstanding commitment to making sure that deputies are trained and prepared for every event and potential threat and his desire to assist the military to ensure their preparations. [2] Justification for training police in the tactics of the military always defaults to statements like Sheriff Lotts above, citing a need to be prepared for every event and potential threat. It is important to point out, police are not soldiers and are not paid or required to fight against foreign hostile enemies or in the case of every possible threat. Police are civilian peace keepers, law enforcement officers and servants of the community; police are NOT Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines. Training police to fight and react to civilian threats in a manner consistent with a military response to an opposing enemy can only lead to escalating police violence against Citizens. Military tactics are based on delivering catastrophic blows to a non-citizen enemy, using superior force and firepower while shooting first and asking questions later. In an article recently published in the The New American, an interview in the Wall Street Journal is cited with writer Radley Balko , author of the Rise of the Warrior Cop, in which Balko notes police are really becoming an internal military, freed from the bounds of limited equipment and limited authority the new police have become more like an occupying army. According to Balko: Driven by martial rhetoric and the availability of military-style equipment from bayonets and M-16 rifles to armored personnel carriers American police forces have often adopted a mind-set previously reserved for the battlefield. The war on drugs and, more recently, post-9/11 antiterrorism efforts have created a new figure on the U.S. scene: the warrior cop armed to the teeth, ready to deal harshly with targeted wrongdoers, and a growing threat to familiar American liberties.[3] According to The New American, Balko rightly connects the menace of the martial police with the decline in liberty and a disintegration of legal boundaries between sheriffs and generals: Americans have long been wary of using the military for domestic policing. Concerns about potential abuse date back to the creation of the Constitution, when the founders worried about standing armies and the intimidation of the people at large by an overzealous executive, who might choose to follow the unhappy precedents set by Europes emperors and monarchs.[3] Training police as warriors is like having a standing army with no enemy; an enemy must be invented to continue to funding, training and justifying the army. WAR IS DECLARED! When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and there is nothing more to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader. Plato Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people. . . . [There is also an] inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and . . . degeneracy of manners and of morals. . . . No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare . . . James Madison The so-called War on Drugs has been a long standing excuse for escalating police violence and escalating military training and tactics of police. The War On Drugs was instrumental in building police SWAT teams and for adding military hardware to traditional police equipment, including automatic weapons, tanks and heavily armored vehicles. The War On Drugs was originally packaged and sold to Americans as a way to minimize the use of illegal drugs, punish those selling illegal drugs and work against the overall drug supply. However it is clear the Drug War objective has not been achieved; drug use has remained the same year after year since 1970, while the cost of the War has risen each year now totaling at least $1.5 trillion dollars and rising drug-war related violence has turned inner cities into war zones. [4] The War on Drugs continues to consume more than 40 billion dollars per year, while destroying communities, families and lives of children. Children begin receiving drug-related indoctrination in most 5th grade curriculums, promoting premature interest in drugs and the drug culture and eventually turning a percentage of those children in addicts and convicts. This indoctrination is to feed the War on Drugs and is not an accidental byproduct of creating a drug prohibition. A secondary consequence of the War on Drugs is the worlds largest prison population, according to University of Chicago economist Gary Becker : The total number of persons incarcerated in state and federal prisons in the U.S. has grown from 330,000 in 1980 to about 1.6 million today. Much of the increase in this population is directly due to the war on drugs and the severe punishment for persons convicted of drug trafficking. About 50% of the inmates in federal prisons and 20% of those in state prisons have been convicted of either selling or using drugs. The many minor drug traffickers and drug users who spend time in jail find fewer opportunities for legal employment after they get out of prison, and they develop better skills at criminal activities.[5] It is now clear that the War on Drugs is an abject failure and serves only to keep the prices of drugs high, while encouraging distribution and trafficking of narcotics through criminal organizations both in the governments and outside. The War On Drugs is part of a medical monopoly to restrict the selling and distribution of legal and illegal drugs except by members of select group of pharmaceutical and illegal drug cartels; cartels cornering the market for mind-altering and medical substances. The War On Drugs serves to grow police forces and is a fuel for corruption and is also the source of funding for opposing gangs; monopoly prices activate market forces escalating tactics required to capture and hold market share. Rising drug profits covers the cost of escalating violence. The War On Drugs is an excuse for escalating violence in cities and near the border with Mexico and is responsible for exploding prison populations in America and a massive growth in the prison-industrial complex, including profitable private prisons operated as slave labor camps for inmates. The wildly successful War On Drugs, successful because of the profitability to a select group of insiders, is a fantastic failure in terms of stated goals. A War to End All War Consistent with the Federal governments ever-escalating war on American people, a new war has been launched; a new lifeline feeding the rise of the police state and an ever more brutal and violent attack on Americans: The War On Terror. There are two levers for moving men: Interest and Fear. Napoleon Bonaparte Fear is the master manipulator; fear is the tool used for creating violent and spiteful police departments like the one in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Police departments relying on exaggerated and false predictions of homegrown terrorism, have been panicked into preparing for some kind of war against America loving, patriotic, traditional values holding Americans. Eric Holder Announces Task Force To Focus On Domestic Terrorists To help feed this fear, the Federal government, and their pseudo-intellectual and complicit agents such as the Southern Poverty Law Center, are fostering a false narrative pretending traditional Americans will soon attack the government. Headlines, such as one above, chillingly expose the governments continuing fanning of the flames of false flag fear. To be ready for these homegrown terrorists, police forces are also hiring former military and former mercenary officers trained in active and live combat to engage the enemy in a military fashion. While traditional police officers, seeing their police force transformed into military units and recoiling from the horror of escalating police violence, are quitting police departments, leaving these departments with fewer and fewer traditionally trained and non-war traumatized officers. According to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, former assistant secretary of the Treasury and past editor of the Wall Street Journal: The police have been militarized and largely federalized by the Pentagon and the gestapo Homeland Security. The role of the federal government in equipping state and local police with military weapons, including tanks, and training in their use has essentially removed the police from state and local control. No matter how brutal any police officer, it is rare that any suffer more than a few months suspension, usually with full pay, while a report is concocted that clears them of any wrong doing. In America today, police murder with impunity. All the psychopaths have to say is, I thought his wallet was a gun, or we had to taser the unconscious guy we found lying on the ground, because he wouldnt obey our commands to get up. [6] After the False Flag attack on America during 9-11, fear of terrorism was seeded, grown and promoted beginning first with a manufactured fear of Arabs and Middle Eastern turban-wearing men and then transforming into fear of terrorist in the form of white, Christian, Constitutional, limited government advocating, Citizens as Sovereigns traditional Americans. Using the hysteria of pretended imminent terrorist attacks, (according to DailyKos the odds of dying as a result of terrorism are 1 in 20 MILLION, you have better odds of dying from a lightning strike or a shark attack or legal execution), the police have been transformed into brutal troops, unresponsive to citizen safety, wrecking balls threatening to tear away the line between criminals and police. [7] According to Paul Craig Roberts: The facts seem to support the case that police in the US commit more crimes and acts of violence against the public than do the criminals who do not wear badges. According to the FBI crime Statistics http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2010/crime-in-the-u.s.-2010/summary in 2010 there were 1,246,248 violent crimes committed by people without police badges. Keep in mind that the definition of violent crime can be an expansive definition. For example, simply to push someone is considered assault. If two people come to blows in an argument, both have committed assault. However, even with this expansive definition of violent crimes, police assaults are both more numerous and more dangerous, as it is usually a half dozen overweight goon thugs beating and tasering one person. The police situation in the United States is only going to get worse. The coming deliberate and artificially created banking and financial collapse will bring on exceedingly more difficult times for a large section of the American population. Growing unemployment, made worse by a usurped Federal governments withdrawal of unemployment benefits and a reduction of food stamp purchasing power will lead to civil unrest and an explosion of unaccountable police violence. The time is now to take steps to deescalate the police and stop the violence and end the military occupation of cities and towns and countrysides. We the People Declare That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Declaration of Independence All it takes to push back tyranny is to actually push back. Do this alone or with a group of friends and family. Contact your city, county and state government officials demanding they make changes to the governing policies of police departments. Letters written to civilian elected officials with governing powers, such as your local County Commissioners, Sheriffs, city councils and state level representatives is also required, so the officials understand you are withdrawing consent for growing abuse and violence of police and other armed agencies of the government. This is a short list of demands a Citizen can rightfully make of their local police departments: Reduce antagonizing and aggressive appearance of police forces. Note: Philip Zimbardo in his book The Lucifer Effect noted a legitimate-seeming authority figure donning masks or costumes (uniforms and badges and sunglasses and external symbols of authority) were significantly more likely to torture, mutilate, and kill their enemies than warriors in cultures that didnt engage in self-disguise. [A] Eliminate potentially disastrous police protocol and behavior. Return or refuse to accept out of place and hyperbolic military hardware. Refuse military training and Federal training and drills with scenarios depicting stereotyped historically honored American groups as homegrown terrorists. Organize citizen Review Boards for police force activity guidance and criticism. As a citizen it is possible to create a public, but external and without public funding, group to monitor police behavior and recommend policy changes when required. In fact, according to Human Rights Watch, Shielded from Justice: Police Brutality and Accountability in the United States: A study of 17 law enforcement agencies found that citizen review boards sustain police brutality complaints at a higher percentage than do the police themselves, suggesting that such boards operate more fairly [9] To force police departments to become accountable, citizens can form county and city Citizen Review Boards to advocate punishment and replacement of leaders in police organization hierarchy when brutality and violence against citizens and offenders becomes egregious. Citizen review boards are typically met with considerable opposition from the law enforcement community [10], but such resistance is like an employee telling the owner how he wants the company run. Through activism, citizens can insist police departments revamp hiring guidelines to favor non-military, non-mercenary applicants over those having served in repeated combat missions. Police are paid by citizens and according to the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, the powers of government, including the police departments are delegated to the government by the people and FOR the people. Police and other authorities serve the people they are not surrogate mothers or fathers or masters they are servants which have become dysfunctional and inconvenient. Police forces like the one in Albuquerque, New Mexico can be brought under control by firing those in current positions of leadership and publicly advertising for replacements who meet the new police standards as described above. Officers with histories of violence against citizens should be removed immediately with failure to do so probable cause for civil lawsuits against these departments. Many citizens have learned to fear the law enforcement system, as violence and physical assault by police is now a daily occurrence. In addition to the physical violence, there is the economic violence as states, counties and towns now swarm on motorists like ticks seeking blood using so-called moving violations and victimless crimes as major sources of revenue; civil asset forfeiture and the ubiquitous DWI/DUI leading the top 5 ways to plunder during a traffic stop. Police forces feeding on people is clearly creating rising tensions between the public-as-food and the police-as-predator with ever-escalating violence and confrontation as the natural consequence. It is incumbent on citizens to tell local systems of government that using police as a major source of revenue generation will not be tolerated and those holding public office will be removed at the next election unless the predation stops. These same government representatives must also be put on notice: police brutality is a crime and these criminals will be prosecuted and, using the principle of vicarious liability, all those in the chain of command above those directly in charge will also be prosecuted. 42 U.S.C. 1983, commonly referred to as section 1983 provides: Every person who under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, Suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officers judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable. [8] Bringing charges against police in civil suits for assault and brutality is a way to punish officers outside the internal affairs process of police departments. Many people are brutalized by police, which is then justified with resisting arrest charges. Civil suits bringing police videos and witnesses to bear against trumped up resisting charges are absolutely necessary to stop this kind of rampant police abuse. All we have to do to stop the police violence is do something little efforts by many people have the cumulative force of large efforts by smaller groups. Everyone can DEMAND more accountable and less aggressive police forces. Finally, it is important for all people to withdraw consent for increasing police intrusion in our lives. Do not call the police unless it is a life-threatening situation. Dialing 9-11 involves giving up your self-responsibility each time it is dialed. Solve your own problems, ask your family and friends for help break down the barriers preventing strong family and friend relationships and excommunicate the third party, unrelated, bigger brother.

1	After 47 tense days, the standoff between Federal Bureau of Investigation agents and members of the Saturn Family was finally broken Monday when an FBI strike team invaded the Saturn compound and seized 23 cars with their owners inside. America Under Seige: The Saturn Standoff Agents also captured Mark Schechter, evangelistic car dealer and self-described 'Father of the Saturn Family,' who offered agents good deals on trade-ins upon capture, but has yet to surrender any information on activities inside the compound. 'At Saturn, we're a different kind of car company,' a handcuffed Schechter said as FBI officials led him away from the scene. According to reports, shortly before 7 a.m., following a night of the FBI's blaring Three Dog Night's 'Joy To The World' over loudspeakers, heavily armed agents posing as customers burst into the compound, where they met with little resistance. Following Monday's raid, members of the Saturn Familyeach bearing the Sign of Saturn on their foreheadsare led by FBI agents to a helicopter that will fly them to Washington, D.C. for interrogation and deprogramming. 'They were real nice, not pushy at all,' said Kurt Harwood, one of the FBI agents. 'They let me walk around and look at whatever I wanted without pressuring me or giving me the 'hard sell.' Fortunately, we were able to overcome them before they could 'answer any questions' that we had.' Saturn owners captured in the raid are being flown to Washington, D.C., where they will be interrogated by FBI psychiatric profiling teams before being deprogrammed for reintroduction to mainstream society. 'They welcomed me warmly, as if I actually was a member of their family,' recalled a visibly shaken young woman identified only as 'Julie,' one of the car owners rescued in the FBI raid. 'After I bought my Saturn SL-1, there was a ceremony involving the setting of the dashboard clock, during which Mr. Schechter introduced me to the other family members and announced that it was my first new car. Everyone kept asking me if I was 'excited.'' 'Then,' Julie continued, 'the other owners started advancing upon me slowly, wearing happy, vacant looks. They seemed almost transfixed with joy. Mr. Schecter took a Polaroid of me. When it developed, they took it to a bulletin board full of similar photos. I recognized several of the faces as those of people around me. Then I realizedthey weren't going to let me leave.' On day 11 of the standoff, Julie attempted to flee through a restroom window while she was supposed to be changing into the white linen raiment emblazoned with the Saturn logo which is used in the paperwork-signing ceremony of initiates. She was, however, caught and returned to the main showroom. Julie's attempted escape was detected by FBI intelligence, and a rapid-response team arrived on the scene shortly afterward. But by that time the compound had been sealed off, and large, orange 'Closed For Inventory' signs greeted agents at the door. It was not until Monday that the woman was finally freed. 'Reliability and service are nice, but at what cost?' Julie said. 'I will not trade my soul for fiberglass side panels.' Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms raids on smaller Saturn dealerships in Idaho and Montana have produced evidence that activities similar to the ones described by Julie have been taking place across the country. 'We are pursuing several leads at this time,' ATF director John Magaw said. 'But we do know for a fact that the Saturn family has already infiltrated the fabric of our society to a startling degree. My sister owns one. My brother-in-law owns one. This thing is spreading.' Rumors currently being investigated by the ATF include accounts of ultra-zealous Saturn delivery-truck drivers and sightings of a red sedan painted with mysterious occult markings, driven by a man wearing a black satin Saturn jacket. Reports of Saturnic rituals at a Northern California compound, involving the burning of the Sign of Saturn into the foreheads of new owners, are also being investigated. Saturn, a division of General Motors, has been under close FBI surveillance since the company was founded in 1990. The company frequently holds secret, dealer-sponsored barbecues at which new Saturn owners are further introduced to the mysteries of Saturn ownership, the most famous of which are held by a high-ranking Saturn family member known as 'Russ.' The company also holds annual 'reunions' which are marked by mass pilgrimages of Saturn family members from across the world. According to FBI files, some Saturn owners find the car-buying experience so satisfying that they apply for and are sometimes accepted as salespeople. Some eventually attain the honored rank of 'dealer,' but only after hundreds of hours of serving Saturn. 'Thank goodness for the FBI,' said Andrea Aberg, another rescued Saturn owner. 'Next time I'm buying a Honda.' 
1	Five days after Daddy's disappearance, Mommy hosted 'Uncle' Rick at a sleepover, 5-year-old Hannah Dalton reported Monday. 'They drank a lot of that special soda for grownups, and they watched movies,' Hannah said. 'And later, they must have told ghost stories, because I heard them both moaning and screaming.' The morning after the sleepover, a departing Rick permitted Hannah to eat as much Count Chocula as she wanted, as long as she did not wake Mommy. 
2	70 Members Of ISIS Arrested On U.S. Soil Including Of Obamas Sweet Refugees Well, this is terrifying. As Obama continues to push forward with his plans to harbor tens of thousands of Syrian refugees in our country, at least 66 men and women have been charged with ISIS-related terror plots on American soil. Surprise, surprise: a handful of those were refugees. This comes at a time when one of the most dangerous terror groups in the world has place a target on Washington, D.C. Theyre promising to infiltrate the West and continue their blood bath. And plots have already been discovered that involved immigrants. Still, Obama refuses to slam the door on these refugees, no matter what the threat poses to Americans. Also terrifying is the fact that were seeing threats coming from within. American teenagers and Islamic converts are being actively recruited and seduced by propaganda from the terrorist organization. Targets range from U.S. Air Force veterans to a pizza parlor boss and even young female students who are romanticized by the idea of becoming an ISIS bride. What do you think? Is now a time to be focused on protecting our own country? 
1	A recent outpouring of negative criticism levied against the Big East for the conference's poor showing in the NCAA Tournament has had absolutely no affect on anyone or anything, and will reportedly continue to have zero effect on the world due to the fact that being angry at a collegiate basketball conference is a completely worthless endeavour, sources confirmed Thursday. 'I think the Big East is the most overrated conference,' said a man whose overwhelming disappointment with what basically amounts to 19-year-old boys playing basketball makes one wonder what his priorities are, if he understands that there are millions of things much more interesting to talk about, or whether or not he's aware that such passion could be focused on saying something that actually matters. 'The selection committee should never have put 11 Big East teams in the tournament. Never. It's ridiculous.' According to sources, a recent wave of opposition from fans and analysts defending the Big East has also had little impact on anything, mainly because this topic is so stupid. 
2	GOP Moves To Pass Bill To Ensure That Our Troops Get Paid Even If Obama Defunds The Military After efforts were made to stop the funding of Planned Parenthood, liberals stubbornly decided not to allow the government to do so. Now, it appears the government may temporarily shut down altogether. Liberal congressmen have worked to introduce a bill that would prevent Congress from getting paid were a shutdown to take place, but conservatives are certain that they will find support in our military. According to reports, Republican Rep. Mike Coffman from Colorado just introduced the Pay Our Military Act last week, in an effort to guarantee that the members of our armed forces continue to get paid. Our soldiers, airman, sailors, and Marines cannot go on furlough, so it is inexcusable for them to go without pay in the event of a government shutdown, Coffman wrote in a press release. If his bill passes, civilians and contractors who work for the Defense Department would also be paid during a shutdown. What do you think? Do you support Coffmans efforts? 
2	Investigation Launched On President After Obama Intern Reveals Something Horrible According to recent reports, Marisa Adam, a 26-year-old former volunteer for the presidents 2012 campaign is coming forward to discuss the culture of sexual harassment she endured. Now, Adam is on a hunger strike to protest her treatment. Adams claims that she will not end her strike until they (the administration) take responsibility for their actions. Its ironic that Obama should be facing such accusations after discussing what he perceives as the Republican Partys war on women. Clearly, Obama has been instigating his own battles. I dont people understand the point that I really love Barack Obama, Adam told reporters of the incident. That was, of course, until she started volunteering for Obamas campaign where she claims white staffers would verbally harass her and even touches her inappropriately. Eventually, the treatment got so bad that Adam decided to go talk to campaign officials, where she received very little support. If it were me, I would probably just move forward at this point and dont look back, Adam was advised by an unnamed coworker. Just capitalize on the volunteer opportunity you have starting next month. Unfortunately, the nightmare wasnt over for Adam. As a result of my complaint, I was told to leave the campaign and that I could not work in paid positions for Respondent, Adam reported. All of the white males who worked with me in the political department who applied for paid positions were offered and/or hired for those positions. What do you think of Adams stand against the treatment she endured?

However, they have broken their Closed On Sunday rule for the first time ever. It turns out they couldnt have broken the rule for a better reason. They opened early Sunday morning to make meals all day for first responders and victims of tornadoes. They fed hundreds of hungry, rattled families. The tornadoes in Texas killed at least 11 last weekend. Everyone affected really needs as much support as possible. We support Chick-Fil-A more than ever because of this. They really are a great company. Will you be a customer of Chick-Fil-A for life? 
1	After reviewing his client's income, assets, and personal budget Tuesday, Morgan Stanley financial adviser Henry Dalton determined that Jason Hutchinson, 43, could make the best use of his portfolio by dropping dead at the age of 62. 'Taking account of inflation and the rising cost of living versus the projected direction of the economy in the coming decade, I told Mr. Hutchinson that he could significantly reduce his spending by simply living less,' Dalton said. 'After looking at his investments, I calculated that he really shouldn't live a day over 62or 59 if he wants a funeral.' In order to help his client plan for his financial future, Dalton presented Hutchinson with several of the company's comprehensive suicide packages. 
2	What Al Sharpton Got Caught Taking Money For Might End His Career Well it appears that Al Sharpton may finally be facing the end of his career as a civil rights crusader. It seems that each day, the public becomes more aware of what Sharpton is actually doing: using social issues to create personal financial gain. The method to Sharptons madness is as follows: first, a corporation sends a check to the National Action Network; next, Sharpton stays silent. According to recent tax filings, this tactic is black in white in situation involving a Connecticut hedge fund called Plainfield Asset Management in 2008. The fund reportedly made a $500,000 contribution to a Sharpton shell company, before eventually putting it into Sharptons National Action Network. It was primarily spent to pay the salary of employee Charlie King. Later, it was revealed that Charlie King was a lobbyist with connections to a gambling company, Capital Play. It just so happens that Plainfield Asset Management had a 250 million dollar stake in the same company. What do you think of Sharpton? Is he a criminal? 
1	A team of British and Egyptian archaeologists made a stunning discovery Monday, unearthing several intact specimens of 'skeleton people'skinless, organless humans who populated the Nile delta region an estimated 6,000 years ago. An archaeologist examines the intact remains of a spooky 'skeleton person.' 'This is an incredible find,' said Dr. Christian Hutchins, Oxford University archaeologist and head of the dig team. 'Imagine: At one time, this entire area was filled with spooky, bony, walking skeletons.' 'The implications are staggering,' Hutchins continued. 'We now know that the skeletons we see in horror films and on Halloween are not mere products of the imagination, but actually lived on Earth.' Standing at the excavation site, a 20-by-20-foot square pit along the Nile River, Hutchins noted key elements of the find. 'The skeletons lived in this mud-brick structure, which, based on what we know of these people, was probably haunted,' he said. 'Although we found crude cooking utensils in the area, as well as evidence of crafts like pottery and weaving, we are inclined to believe that the skeletons' chief activity was jumping out at nearby humans and scaring them. And though we know little of their language and means of communication, it is likely that they said 'boogedy-boogedy' a lot.' Approximately 200 yards west of the excavation site, the archaeologists also found evidence of farming. 'What's puzzling about this,' Cambridge University archaeologist Sir Ian Edmund-White said, 'is that skeletons would not benefit from harvested crops, as any food taken orally would immediately fall through the hole behind the jaw and down through the rib cage, eventually hitting the ground. Our best guess is that they scared away a group of human farmers, then remained behind to haunt the dwelling. Or perhaps they bartered goods in a nearby city to acquire skeleton accessories, such as chains, coffins and tattered, dirty clothing.' An artist's rendering of what a warrior-skeleton may have looked like. Continued Edmund-White: 'The hole in that theory, however, is that a 1997 excavation of this area which yielded extensive records of local clans and merchants made no mention of even one animated mass of bones coming to town for the purpose of trade. But we are taking great pains to recover as much of the site as possible, while also being extremely careful not to fall victim to some kind of spooky skeleton curse.' As for what led to the extinction of the skeletons, Edmund-White offered a theory. 'Perhaps an Egyptian priest or king broke the curse of the skeletons, either by defeating the head skeleton in combat or by discovering the magic words needed to send their spirits back to Hell,' Edmund-White said. 'In any case, there is strong evidence that the Power of Greyskull played a significant role in the defeat of the skeleton people.' According to Hutchins, the skeletons bear numerous similarities to humans, leading him to suspect that there may be an evolutionary link between the two species. 'Like humans, these creatures walked upright on two legs and possessed highly developed opposable thumbs,' Edmund-White said. 'These and many other similarities lend credence to the theory that hundreds of thousands of years ago, human development passed through a skeletal stage. These skeletons may, in fact, be ancestors of us all.' 'Any of us could be part skeleton,' he added. Other experts disagreed. 'The evidence of an evolutionary link between humans and skeletons is sparse at best,' said Dr. Terrance Schneider of the University of Chicago. 'Furthermore, it is downright unscientific to theorize that skeleton life originated in Egypt merely because mummies, another species of monster, are indigenous to the area. Spooky creatures are found all over the world, from the vampires of Transylvania to the headless horsemen of Sleepy Hollow.'

2	Sheriff Joe Lays Down Harsh Punishment On Inmates Who Destroy The Flag Recently, Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been making headlines for speaking out in favor of strict immigration laws in Maricopa County, Arizona. He has even spoken out against the controversial immigration law that was almost struck down by the Supreme Court in 2012. Now, in response to dozens of prison inmates desecrating the American flags in their cells, Arpaio put the prisoners on a diet of bread and water for a week. According to reports from Fox News, 38 inmates have been receiving bread and water twice daily. This is the punishment for destroying government property while in custody These inmates have destroyed the American flag that was placed in their cells, Arpaio told reporters. Tearing them, writing on them, stepping on them, throwing them in the toilet, trash or wherever they feel. Its a disgrace to those who have fought for our country. According to Arpaio, the punishment is scheduled to last seven days. What do you think? Do you agree with Arpaio? 
2	Disrespectful Rockette Learns Her Fate After Refusing To Perform At Trumps Inauguration Earlier this week, Donald Trumps transition team announced that the New York Rockettes would be performing his Inauguration on January 20. Shortly thereafter, one performer spoke out to complain about how unfair it was to be forced to perform for Trump. It didnt take long for her to learn that her entitled attitude was not going to get her very far. Phoebe Pearl, a dancer for the Rockettes, is clearly used to having things her way. After the news of the inauguration broke, Pearl took to her personal Instagram page to complain about the scheduled performance. I usually dont use social media to make a political stand but I feel overwhelmed with emotion, Pearl wrote, alongside a picture of the Rockettes with a speech bubble saying Not my president!. Finding out that it has been decided for us that Rockettes will be performing at the Presidential inauguration makes me feel embarrassed and disappointed. The women I work with are intelligent and are full of love and the decision of performing for a man that stands for everything were against is appalling. I am speaking for just myself but please know that after we found out this news, we have been performing with tears in our eyes and heavy hearts #notmypresident, Pearl concluded. MSG Entertainment, the owner of the Rockettes, did not respond to Pearls comments, but the union representative issued a message to Rockette dancers that they are not allowed to boycott the event. What do you think? Is this entitlement at its finest?

'We can win with Brooks,' coach Wade Phillips said of the Wisconsin product, whose college and pro careers have been marked by hard work, gutsy play, and handoffs rather than talent. 'Must, I mean. We must win with him. We have no choice.' Bollinger was unavailable for comment, as he was practicing handoffs to a man named Tashard Choice, who is currently the best option at running back for the same NFL team.

Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will. Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth? Truth: For their disobedience as a nation, as a people, the Bible says the Mosaic Covenant/Law has been REPLACED, ANNULLED: MADE VOID, BLOTTED OUT, SET ASIDE, TAKEN AWAY: Like the dorks they are. No surprise there. a word about coincidence theorists Coincidence theorists is an apt reference for those who insist there is never planning for significant events whether current or historical. They insist everything happens by accident, by coincidence, in the open, no secrecy. Coincidence theorists are actually closely related to the largest group of conspiracy theorists, those who accept official conspiracy theories, conspiracy theories vetted by government and/or talmudvision. Think about the illogic of the coincidence theorists. Since there are no conspiracies, who needs the FBI, CIA, NSA, , Sret, , Bundesnachrichtendienst, etc.? There are no conspiracies, so no money should be spent on spies, spy gear, and the military. okaaaay. Conspiracy theorist is another one of those neurolinguistic blocks, like antisemite, that is meant to instantly block all analytic thought. Coincidence theorist unmasks the unthinking and the credulous. perhaps TRUTHERS and HEROES. I heart you activistpost writers. The hip younger NPR crowd has a median age of 55, with 75% being over 35, with the age of listeners increasing each year. (Clue: the younger crowd is watching youtube) NPR gets half its revenue from local stations, which get 6% from government. NPR itself gets 2% from government, and the rest from on air pledge drives and corporations which is why it is a propaganda mill for liberal hipsters, disguised as aging professionals. I see the same approach is used by both liberals and conservatives. Instead of asking why someone believes in conspiracy theories, then checking for yourself to see if there is any merit in their claims, you just blow them off and consider them nut jobs. And you know best because your heard it directly from the CIA, er I mean the US government, over the network news. Good for you. Theyre losing and they know it. Almost everyone knows the news is fake now, and many just watch it now for entertainment purposes only. The younger generation will at least grow up knowing more of the truth now from dedicated conspiracy theorists that have exposed the lies that are no longer conspiracies anymore because they have gotten so incredibly sloppy. Their mainstream medias insults are no longer acknowledged by most people because they know they are just done out of fear that the masses are actually becoming more educated and informed about it. Go ahead and try to train the sheep to walk away and say that the person is crazy, but being as the information and evidence is so overwhelming it cant possibly work. I love how they keep trying to hold off the masses from learning though. they get an A + for not giving up. When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.

3	New U.N. Chemical Weapons Report on Syria Blames AssadNew UN report contradicts the last UN report. After having some time to regroup, Western-backed propaganda against the Assad government of Syria regarding the alleged (and erroneous) claims of the use of chemical weapons against rebels death squads and civilians has apparently resumed. As Reuters reports, United Nations human rights investigators said on Tuesday they had reasonable grounds to believe that limited amounts of chemical weapons had been used by government forces in Syria. Reuters also states that In their latest report, based on interviews with victims, medical staff and other witnesses, they said they had received allegations that both Syrian government forces and rebels had used the banned weapons, but that at least four instances related to their use by state forces. Paulo Pinheiro, chair of the UN Commission of Inquiry, told a news conference in Geneva, Switzerland There are reasonable grounds to believe that limited quantities of toxic chemicals weapons were used. It has not been possible, on the evidence available, to determine the precise chemical agents used, their delivery systems or the perpetrator. Pinheiro stated that the information he was reporting came from interviews conducted with victims, refugees who fled some areas, and medical staff. The interview process, as Reuters reports, involved teams composed of more than 20 investigators, conducted 430 interviews from January 15 to May 15 among refugees in neighboring countries and by Skype with people still in Syria. The UN Commission of Inquiry largely contradicts earlier reports by its own UN investigators into the nature of chemical weapons use in Syria. Interestingly enough, while media outlets and Western governments cling to whatever brief positive public relations stories surrounding the rebels that may exist, those opportunities are few and far between. In addition, it must be pointed out the inaccurate and intentionally skewed manner in which Western media outlets, human rights campaigners, and Western governments gather information that is later parroted back to the public through those same media outlets. For instance, the reliance on interviews conducted with activists, human rights organizations, victims, medical personnel, and, obviously, rebel forces generally translates to mean one thing interviews and reports with and from the very agents and organizations that are intent on destabilizing and overthrowing the Assad government to begin with. Organizations like the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, operated out of the UK by an admitted member of the Syrian death squad cult, Rami Abdul Rahman, are a clear example of the types of human rights organizations consulted when investigators attempt to gather information on the situation on the ground in Syria. As Tony Cartalucci of Land Destroyer writes, It is also widely known that any mainstream Western media which uses the term activists say to preface any transmission of information can easily be understood as having come straight from the death squads themselves. Likewise with many of the selected victims and refugees, a majority of which bring their own political agendas with them which conveniently tends to match up exactly with the agenda of the Western powers seeking to destroy Syria. Yet, while the report accuses the Assad government of using chemical weapons on the basis of scant, dubious, and even outright erroneous evidence, it also attempts to defend the Syrian death squads. It reads, It is possible that anti-government armed groups may access and use chemical weapons . . . though there is no compelling evidence that these groups possess such weapons or their requisite delivery systems. This claim is fundamentally untrue. First, as mentioned above, it directly contradicts the reports by other UN investigators such as Carla del Ponte. Second, in December 2012, a video was obtained by the Syria Tribune and subsequently released in their report and posted on YouTube which allegedly shows the NATO-backed death squads testing chemical weapons on lab rabbits. As the Syria Tribune describes the video, The Syria Tribune also comments that Judging from the rabbits reaction, the gas must be a nerve agent. The number of containers, if not a bluff, indicates ability to produce a considerable amount of this gas. Deployment could be by means of a smoke generator placed in the target area, an explosion, possibly a suicide one, of a chemmed car, or simply by using a humidifier. In March, 2013, yet another YouTube video was released which contained a clip of a second test of chemical weapons on captive rabbits by the death squads. This is quite an ironic presentation, since the Assad government has repeatedly vowed never to use chemical weapons inside Syria, while the death squads have repeatedly threatened to do just that. Indeed, in direct contrast to the tone and statements of the death squads, the Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi issued a statement several months ago saying, No chemical or biological weapons will ever be used, and I repeat, will never be used, during the crisis in Syria no matter what the developments inside Syria. Regardless, the video mentioned above also contains an alleged audio recording of a phone conversationbetween two Free Syrian Army fighters discussing the details of a plan to carry out a chemical weapons attack capable of impacting an area the size of one kilometer. As Paul Joseph Watson writes, The video also contains a clip of the death squads openly announcing their plans to engage in chemical weapons attacks, all the while surrounded by bottles of nitric acid and other substances. Back in December 2012, after the death squads managed to capture a chlorine factory inside Syria, the Syrian government actually issued a warning that the death squads might attempt to use chemical weapons of this nature in their battle to overthrow and oppress the government and people of Syria respectively. The Syrian Foreign Ministry stated, Terrorist groups may resort to using chemical weapons against the Syrian people after having gained control of a toxic chlorine factory. Thus, with the subsequent chemical weapon attack which has caused both a frothing and bumbling public relations response from the Anglo-Americans, it is interesting to note that chlorine was fingered as being one of the major ingredients. As Alex Thomson of The Telegraph reported, Reports by the Syrian government coincide with the accounts given by the victims of the chemical weapons attack which one can view in the video clip contained in the YouTube video mentioned above. (See here) It is also important to note that many of the victims allegedly name the Free Syrian Army and the rebels as the perpetrators as they are being interviewed while waiting for medical treatment. The Free Syrian Army hit us with a rocket, one woman said. We smelled an odor and everyone fell to the ground. People died where they fell . . . the kids . . . A young girl was also interviewed, who said, My lungs closed and I couldnt breathe or speak. God curse them. Everyone died on the ground. My mom and dad died. I dont know where is my brother. God curse them. May they [FSA] all die. This is the freedom they bring us. They [FSA] want to kill everyone. I hope there remains not a single one of them [FSA] alive. For more detailed information regarding the use of chemical weapons by Syrian death squads, I suggest reading my March 30, 2013 article, False Flag Attacks In Syria Pin Atrocities On Assad And Justify Red Line Engagement. Lastly, the UN report laughably attempts to absolve the death squads of war crimes while shifting the burden of cruelty and savage conduct to that of the Assad government. While asserting that Syrian government forces have been responsible for committing torture, rape, forcible displacement and enforced disappearance, no credible (and often even no incredible) evidence is ever provided to bolster the claims. While admitting that the death squads have carried out sentencing and execution without due process, as well as committing torture, taking hostages and pillaging, the report hilariously states that crimes committed by the death squads did not, however, reach the intensity and scale of those committed by government forces and affiliated militias. Perhaps the United Nations Commission was simply unaware of 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.

3	Washington Post Forced To Retract Fake Story That Russia Hacked US Power GridBy Melissa Dykes Any time a story comes out of Washington Post, readers should realize three things. First, WAPO is a regular attendee at the secretive elite Bilderberg annual conference, has been for decades. Two, so is WAPOs relatively new owner, Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos. Three, Bezos literally works with the CIA, having taken contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars from the agency to provide its cloud data storage. When those three facts are taken into account, its a lot easier to consider the possible agendas at play when you hear that the paper was forced to retract an unfounded story scaremongering that Russian hackers penetrated the US electric grid. The original story was that a virus was found in a laptop at a Burlington, Vermont electric company, and that virus was proof that a Russian hacking operation penetrated Americas power grid. Turns out, the infected laptop was never hooked into the power grid. Also, theres apparently no actual proof Russians hacked said laptop. WAPO was forced to retract, adding this editors note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly said that Russian hackers had penetrated the U.S. electric grid. Authorities say there is no indication of that so far. The computer at Burlington Electric that was hacked was not attached to the grid, the editors note read. Do you really think an accusation like this was just a casual mistake? Do you think a paper like the Washington Post doesnt have an editing and vetting process for what goes to print? The editors note comes a little late, as the Cold War-like panic over Russia hacking what weve been told over and over for years now is our extremely vulnerable power grid already occurred. The original story prompted a flurry of angry accusations, with Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin calling Russian President Vladimir Putin a thug in a written statement quoted excessively all over the mainstream media. Vermonters and all Americans should be both alarmed and outraged that one of the worlds leading thugs, Vladimir Putin, has been attempting to hack our electric grid, which we rely upon to support our quality-of-life, economy, health, and safety, said Shumlin in a written statement. The damage the story caused has already been done, which seems to be the whole point of Russian hysteria stories like this. The propaganda war against Russia (and the American people) is in full swing. We should also keep in mind two more things: A) domestic propaganda dissemination by the U.S. government against its own citizens is now officially legal (heres why) and B) Obama just signed the Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act into law, also called the Countering Information Warfare Act of 2016. Put two and two together and you can already see 2017 is going to be a bumpy ride Read Also: OOPS: Washington Post Appends ProporNot Russian Propaganda Fake News Story, Admits It May Be Fake Delivered by The Daily Sheeple We encourage you to share and republish our reports, analyses, breaking news and videos (Click for details).

Isnt that what govt wants to do to this site? Washington Post = Fake . WAPO has emerged as the worst of the mainstream news outlets this year, handily beating CNN and NBC, and that is saying a lot. Hopefully, Trumps revoking of their press credentials is still in effect and will remain for the next 8 years. Bezo is a swamp creature.

1	A team of cold-hearted, killjoy scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory callously announced Monday that the likelihood of complex life on Mars is 'extraordinarily low,' dashing the hopes of the public just like that. Mean old NASA scientist Cary Nicastro. 'What? Are they sure? I'm crestfallen,' said Shreveport, LA, real-estate agent Martin Lucas, 47. 'I remember back when I was a little boy, I'd dream of life on Mars. I'd lie awake under the covers imagining myself having all sorts of adventures with these Martians I befriended. How can those scientists just dismiss it so nonchalantly? What jerks.' Added Lucas: 'Maybe next, they can do a study definitively disproving the existence of Santa Claus.' The scientists' misanthropic announcement was made at an 11 a.m. press conference, which many in attendance thought was going to be about something exciting, such as the discovery of fossilized organisms on Mars or maybe even Martian cities, complete with Martian ranch houses, Martian hamburgers, and Martian sewer systems. Instead, the crotchety scientists cynically announced that radiation levels on the Red Planet's surface are too high to make possible the survival of living organisms. 'Because Mars' atmosphere is far thinner than Earth's, solar radiation penetrates its surface at greater levels,' said NASA's Cary Nicastro, whose team relied largely on data from the unmanned Mars Odyssey spacecraft. 'The radiation measured by Odyssey was so intense, the chance of advanced surface life is virtually zero.' To many, the NASA announcement was, in the words of Bakersfield, CA, claims adjuster and science-fiction buff Bill Cartwright, 'incredibly negative.' '[Nicastro] didn't even try to break it to us gently,' Cartwright said. 'Doesn't he realize that a lot of people think it would be incredibly cool to have a giant Martian invasion force next door? In the future, when scientists make statements like this, they should do it with a little more sensitivity and regard for our feelings.' Adding insult to injury, team member Christine Luo said freezing temperatures and a lack of surface-flowing water make Mars inhospitable to the future development of life. 'If flowing water does exist, it's most likely below the surface, possibly under the vast ice caps,' Luo said. 'These harsh conditions would present a formidable challenge to the evolution of complex organisms.' 'Nyah, nyah, nyah, Mars is too inhospitable for life,' said Columbus, OH, resident Bryan Olin. 'We're scientists and we make everything boring. We want proof of everything and don't want space exploration to be fun.' Aeronautics expert and NASA watchdog L. Kennan Brooks said the space agency has a long history of being a total buzzkill, repeatedly shooting down the prospect of extraterrestrial life in our solar system. 'Since its founding in the late 1950s, NASA has willfullyand at great taxpayer expenserejected decades of creative speculation about space,' Brooks said. 'In the '60s, it refused to investigate the existence of the Man on the Moon. The Viking Mars probe of the '70s left millions of third-graders deflated with its lack of data about flying saucers and little green men. And probes sent close to Jupiter in the '80s made no effort to prove, once and for all, if God lived there.' Instead, Brooks said, NASA stubbornly insists on analyzing cosmic data in the most coldly rational ways possible. 'They could be doing such exciting stuff, but they won't,' Brooks said. 'Rather than using the Hubble Space Telescope to prove the existence of black holes, we should be piloting a fusion-powered spacecraft straight into the heart of them, coming out the other side into a parallel universe populated by our evil, goatee-wearing doubles.' 'They refuse to allow even the faintest possibility that the Martians can't be detected because they're invisible. Or maybe they occupy a different dimension,' Brooks continued. 'There's a world of possibilities here. These scientists should depend less on cold, hard data and more on their imaginations. They'd probably be a lot less cranky.' 
2	You Wont Believe What Muslims Are Doing Now... According to recent reports, Detective Harry Houck of the NYPD recently joined Steve Malzberg of Newsmax TV to discuss the topic of Muslims no-go zones, or Muslim communities that are currently ruled by Islamic leaders. I think this is actually a strategy that is slowly being implemented worldwide by radical Islam, Houck claimed. What they do is they imitate the free countries and then ask the politicians to give them these free zones, these no-go zones, and then let them implement some type of Shariah lawThat should be a flag to any politician or any government that if anybody wants to immigrate into your country and then change your laws for the laws they want to follow, those people should be kicked out immediately. Detective Houck closed his controversial statement by claiming that the U.S. is particularly vulnerable to these zones. Any politician that allows something like this to go on is a danger to their own government, Houch concluded. Watch the video below and tell us what you think:

3	Take the Power Back: Writing ContestAnn Davidson Its clear David is on the right track and in time will be given further information, there is a lot going on in this world and in other dimensions at this time, some of which we are not yet privy to. Regarding Davids work on energy fields, it is very important to pay attention to thoughts as David points out, as every thought and action is held in the consciousness; with practice anyone can extract that information from what I refer to as the ether, and use it to help themselves, for example with a practical task of which you have no experience, by tuning into an energy stream of say, a plumber you can you can extract the knowledge required to assist you in carrying out a repair or larger job. Everything is energy and as such emits energy and it is this energy that we are able to connect to. David often refers to this energy as a vibration, which is correct, everything gives off a specific vibration, even colours have their own personal vibration, understanding vibrational and energy fields is vitally important, as it helps us to retune to the consciousness. Telepathy is the ability to connect to the energy of another person, animal, insect or other living organism, it is the joining of the vibrations in order to communicate. Telepathy was our primary means of communication in times past and gave us the ability to communicate not only with other humans (no matter where they were), but also with the other living organisms of the planet. Many of us still hold this power and use it on a regular basis, all humans have this ability; it is simply that we have forgotten how to use it. We need to take the power back from those who have hijacked the human race. Symbolism is a major feature of the power the elite, used in order to exert their power over us. Some of our symbols have been hijacked and are being used against us. We need to take back our symbols and start using their symbols against them, this is easier than it may seem, everything is energy and gives off vibrations; it is this vibrational energy which they are using against us. Take the pyramid for example, this is a symbol of power, as we all know the US dollar bill features a pyramid which has been split at the cap stone and the all seeing eye inserted. A very powerful symbol sending the message that they are watching you and over seeing your life. By mentally bringing the capstone down over the all seeing eye, we are able to cancel out this message, by symbolically closing the eye. The same is true of other symbols, for example the numerous spires of different configurations which adorn many of our towns and cities, these symbols of transmitting and receiving can easily be disabled by simply symbolically applying a condom. This will have the effect of cutting off the communication. We need to take back our symbols of power and protection, and re-activate them for our power and protection, while also destroying or neutralising the power of the symbols which have been used against the human race for so long. Understanding the power of not only symbolism, but also the energies of which the symbols are constructed, will assist with the over throw of the reptilians who are governing our minds and lives. We have the power to stop this attack on the human race and the ability to throw the gates of the prison open setting us free. Understanding vibrational energy is the key and thanks to the changes which are taking place in the energy grid more and more of us will be able to re-establish connect and communication with the vibrational energy grid also known as consciousness. Thanks to people like David Icke more and more people are becoming aware and are ready to accept the possibility that there is more to this world than we have been force feed, they are opening their minds and asking the right questions and the more questions asked the more information will be made available. However not all answers are easy to understand, sometimes it is because we havent asked the question in the right way. All questions are answered, if you dont feel your question has been answered try asking again, either telepathically or verbally, in some cases if you are really struggling in understanding the answer, someone may be guided to you to personally answer your question. As we become more awake and aware, we will be able to source knowledge from deeper back in history; many are able to source information dating back thousands of years even now and are gradually understanding more and more of the history which has been hidden from us. We are all aware of Big Brother watching and recording our every move. Normal people use CCTV for security and or protection. What are they afraid of? Are they really so concerned about the safety of the individual, that they are willing to spend millions of pounds on CCTV cameras and operators, granted they are utilized from time to time in the detection or prevention of crime, but millions of pounds worth? Do they really care so much about our safety? I dont think so. What or who are they afraid of? DNA databasesWhat are they looking for? Perhaps the change which is coming; humans are evolving becoming more aware and this will be reflected in the DNA. Is this what they are looking for? We are all aware of the chemicals and other means they are using to alter human DNA; but it is possible they are trying to prevent the change to the human DNA, which is taking place due to humans becoming more aware. Humans are further evolving and this is reflected in their DNA. In order to take full advantage of the coming tide of awakening vibrations the human DNA will be upgraded and this has already started. David like many other people asked the question, why did they bomb the moon? What if they didnt bomb the moon in the way we think, rather the nuclear blast was to renew the energy supply of the moon base, which makes far more sense. Its obvious it wasnt as they initially claimed, to see if there was water on the moon; this makes no sense what so ever. First they already knew there was water on the moon and second a thermonuclear blast would have vaporized any water. As people become more aware not only will they start to see and understand more of what is going on with the elite and the shadows etc., they will also find their meta physical energies are enhanced and for many this will cause confusion and a great many questions in order to understand and appreciate their new found experiences. If we are going to win this battle for human freedom, we have to be prepared to open our minds and our hearts to the new experiences the enlightenment vibrations are bringing to us. We are being given the means to set ourselves free, we need to take full advantage of the opportunity.

1	In a revolutionary breakthrough with the potential to forever alter the way humans defecate, Palo Alto-based Internet company Ascent Technologies announced Monday the successful development of the first-ever 'e-toilet.' 'It's incredibly exciting,' said Ascent CEO Jeff Scoscia, considered by members of the digerati to be the father of the cyberdump. 'The e-toilet will revolutionize on-line waste elimination through the democratization of access to high-speed electronic bathrooms.' 'Of course, rudimentary pee-commerce has been around almost as long as the Internet itself,' Scoscia said, 'but our new e-toilet will bring the Internet into the next millennium with real-time point, click and shit capability.' Scoscia noted that 'Number 2.0,' as Silicon Valley insiders have dubbed it, will be cross-platform compatible and fully 2K Flushes compliant. In addition, he said, it will feature significantly wider, more comfortable bandwidth to accommodate even the most massive user download. Though e-toilet prototypes have existed for years, the Ascent model's flexibility and ease of use make it the first on-line shitting system that users are expected to embrace on a mass scale. 'No more frustrating lock-up problemsand even the most novice cybershitter can easily mount the e-toilet on his or her desktop,' said Wired associate editor Graham Roehner, whose 25-page special report on the future of cyberdefecation will appear in the magazine's November issue. 'Just log on, log out, and log off. It's that simple.' 'In the near future,' he added, 'everyone will shit on-line.' An e-toilet processes a large user download. According to Roehner, other features of the e-toilet include real-time urine-streaming, the capacity to add Plug-Ins, and six months free membership in the popular on-line lavatory community eBidet. In addition, it has full multitasking capability, enabling cybershitters to read on-line versions of magazines and newspapers while on the e-toilet. The Advent e-toilet also has a decisive edge over previous models in the area of on-line security. 'It used to be that just any netizen could interrupt you while you were downloading on an e-toilet,' said Fast Company technology reporter Warren Dishman. 'But thanks to this new e-toilet's advanced 64-bit encraption algorithm, there is a greatly reduced chance of barge-in. AOL users who are used to interruption from the dreaded Instant Message won't have to worry about the IM-BM conflict any longer. And up to 24 network users can use a single e-toilet without fear of catching a virus, no matter who has used it before them.' As proud as e-toilet designers are of the 'line after line of fat code' they laid down while beta-testing their new platform, they said they are even prouder of the breakthrough design of its user interface. 'Early e-toilets forced users to keep a lot of windows open, so e-dumpers lacked the kind of privacy you want while doing your business,' said designer Peter Cheng, a self-described 'whiz kid' who has put hundreds of gigaflops through the new e-toilet without once encountering the dreaded, bomb-emblazoned 'Shit Failed' message. 'As a result of all the open windows, many users, feeling uncomfortable and nervous, would 'back up,' often leading to painful RAM problems, corrupted cache, and the embarrassment of having to wipe and reformat the entire root directory after a botched download.' According to Scoscia, the Ascent e-toilet's innovative 'Unplug & Play' desktop tiling is cleaner, more customizable and 80 percent less likely to collect 'cookies' than those of other e-toilets. 'For three yearsan eternity in this fieldthe story has been, 'Same shit, different data,'' Scoscia said. 'Well, no more. We've seen the last of computer users sitting at their terminals broken-hearted, having paid $99, but couldn't start it.' 'With the new Advent e-toilet, cutting-edge cyberdump technology has finally arrived and is within reach for all Americans,' said Scoscia, smiling. 'The question is: Do you want to go today?' 
2	They Told These Girl Scouts To Support Donald Trump At The Inauguration... So They Did THIS Instead This week Girl Scouts of the USA, the 100-year-old youth organization, defended their participation in the inauguration ceremonies for Donald Trump, despite criticism from liberals about their involvement. The Girl Scouts are set to march in an inaugural parade on Friday. The Boy Scouts of America, as well as several military and veterans organizations, will also be participating. However, the Girl Scouts have received more backlash, connected with allegations of sexual harassment and the notorious audio footage involving Billy Bush. In a statement to NBC News, the Girl Scouts, which has been appearing at inaugural events throughout their history, defended their role in the festivitiesnoting they will also participate in the Womens March on Washington to following day. At Girl Scouts, our movement is made up of individuals who hold political beliefs and convictions as varied as our nation itself. And because every girl has a home at Girl Scouts, every girl in our movement is allowed her own ideas, opinions, beliefs and political ideology, the group said. Our fundamental value is empowering girls to be leaders in their own lives. By helping them build the courage, confidence, and character to lift their voices, champion their views, and be advocates for the issues and ideas important to them, Girl Scouts supports girls as they become catalysts for change who strengthen their communities. Of course, we are a nonpartisan nonprofit organization that by law cannot take positions on political candidates or parties and we take this very seriously, the group added. Advocating for change on issues one cares about isnt at odds with participating in a century-long tradition that represents the peaceful exchange of power. What do you think? Do you support the Girl Scouts? 
1	In an effort to provide moviegoers with the information they need to determine which films are appropriate for them to see, the Motion Picture Association of America announced Tuesday the addition of a new rating to alert audiences of movies that are not based on existing works. According to MPAA officials, the new O, or Original, designation will inform viewers that a particular film contains characters with whom they are unfamiliar, previously unseen settings, and novel plots. The rating will also reportedly serve as a warning of the potentially disorienting effects associated with having to remember characters names for as many as two hours and the discomfort that can occur when one is forced to keep track of narrative arcs for an entire film. Its simply a value-neutral designation intended to protect consumers, ensuring that they are fully informed about a movie and are able to make their own decisions about how much artistic and narrative originality they are comfortable seeing. We recognize how distressing it can be when viewers go into a film and suddenly find themselves confronted with jarring scenes containing a protagonist theyve never encountered before, which is precisely why we created this rating, said Joan Graves, head of the MPAAs ratings board, who said the new category was added in part due to the thousands of complaints the organization has received from moviegoers who were upset they werent given advance notice that theyd have to make sense of the scenarios unfolding onscreen. Its important that todays movie fans are aware upon entering the theater that none of what they will see has been adapted from a well-known comic book, television series, novel, video game, historical event, previous movie, or theme park ride. Ultimately, it will be up to the consumers discretion as to whether a film is suitable for themselves and their family, but the O rating will explicitly caution people that they will have to pay attention during the movie and follow the storyline on their own, Graves added. Though sources said films requiring the new rating are comparatively rare, a spate of high-profile movies over the past several years that do not stem from any previously existing source materialincluding The Kids Are All Right, Her, WALL-E, Birdman, and Nebraska, among othershave left many viewers angered and perplexed. Citing test audiences they have observed, MPAA officials said that many moviegoers spent the entirety of such films in a state of distress, waiting for the moment when the Incredible Hulk, Katniss Everdeen, Wolverine, or another recognizable character from an established franchise would appear onscreen and clarify the meaning and direction of the film. I never would have gone to see Sicario if I knew it was going to be so unbearable, said filmgoer Mark Kemmer of Cleveland, referring to the recently released crime thriller set against the violent backdrop of the contemporary Mexican drug trade that, under the MPAAs guidelines, would receive the new rating. It was pretty much unwatchable. It seemed like in nearly every scene I had to figure out who the people were and where the story was going. And the whole movie was like that! What a waste of money, he added. Others reported being viscerally repulsed by movies they attended that were not based on media that originated several decades or generations earlier, saying they had become so upset by what they had seen that they had trouble even sitting through the films. How does this trash even get made? said Katherine Hubbard, a mother of three from Rockford, IL, who, after buying tickets for the Pixar film Inside Out, was incensed that her children had been exposed to original storytelling. Within the first minute, some little girl character my kids have never seen or heard of walks onscreen, and then we immediately have to learn her whole backstory and how she navigates the world? I marched us all right out of that theater after about 10 minutes. While audiences have reportedly been receptive to the new rating, directors and distributors have already decried it as severely damaging in regard to box-office revenues and the number of venues that will carry their films. However, the MPAA was adamant that the new classification should not be interpreted as censorship. The O rating isnt meant to be a punishment or a moral judgment of any kind, Graves said. Its simply a value-neutral designation intended to protect consumers, ensuring that they are fully informed about a movie and are able to make their own decisions about how much artistic and narrative originality they are comfortable seeing. If filmmakers want to avoid the rating and appeal to a wider audience, all they have to do is throw in a superhero or a hobbit or some other licensed property, Graves added.

2	Miranda Lambert Refuses To Apologize For Owning A Gun Country star Miranda Lambert has never been afraid to speak her mindespecially as it pertains to her love of guns. All you need to do is listen to her hit Gunpowder and Lead and youll know where she stands. Lambert will not apologize for carrying a weapon, either. It is a decision she made after receiving death threats. She wants to be able to protect herself. In a cover issue of Self, Lambert came forward with a list of 15 things she will not apologize for, and utilizing her second amendment rights is one of them. I carry a weapon, Lambert told the magazine. I got a death threat a few years ago and was really scared. But I dont want bodyguards. I am my own security. What do you think? Do you support Lambert? 
3	Obamas Civilian Drone Death Count up to 500% Higher Than US Mass ShootingsBy Claire Bernish According to President Obamas administration in a years-in-the-making report drones used in military combat overseas killed between 64 and 116 civilians between 2009 and the close of 2015 almost certainly a paltry representation of the true total, considering accurate record-keeping remains a near impossibility. But the voluntary disclosure, praised by some human rights advocates, nonetheless proffers an official U.S. tally for innocent lives lost in various geopolitical melanges. Its hard to credit this death count, which is lower than all independent assessments, director of the ACLUs National Security Project, Hina Shamsi, told The Intercept. Indeed, as Ryan Devereaux pointed out: Organizations such as the Long War Journal, the New America Foundation, and the Bureau for Investigative Journalism estimate that at least 200 and as many as 1,000 civilians have been killed by American drone strikes in nations where the U.S. is not at war since Obama took office. The administration offered no individual accounts to explain where its numbers came from, or who the civilian casualties were. As the Guardian summarized, Between 2009 and 31 December 2015, the administration claimed that it launched 473 strikes, mostly with drones, that killed between what it said were 2,372 and 2,581 terrorist combatants. Assessing the true number of civilians killed during combat operations can be a matter of interpretation to an extent. But lowballing estimates already widely considered conservative typifies the severe curtailment of transparency the public has come to expect from the government Obama once aggrandized as the most transparent administration in history. For all that pellucidity, Obamas drone assessment went public immediately prior to the July 4th holiday weekend as if it were hoped no one would notice complete with a number of glaring flaws. In releasing only aggregate figures that did not include when or where the strikes occurred, the administration shielded those claims from meaningful public scrutiny, even as it sought to bolster its own assertions about the accuracy and effectiveness of the operations, the Washington Post keenly explained. To wit, in explaining how the administration arrived at its altogether opaque numbers, a vague description devoid of any meaningful analysis left many scratching their heads: The information that was provided to the [Director of National Intelligence] regarding combatant and noncombatant deaths is the result of processes that include careful reviews of all strikes after they are conducted to assess the effectiveness of operations. These review processes have evolved over time to ensure that they incorporate the best available all-source intelligence, media reporting, and other information and may result in reassessments of strikes if new information becomes available that alters the original judgment. In comparison to this exercise in semantics gymnastics and its dubious underestimation of innocents killed, a count of those killed in mass shootings in the U.S., compiled by the Los Angeles Times last month and noted by Rare, offers telling insight into Obamas drone program if you overlook the administrations laughable figures. According to the Times, 168 people have perished at the hands of mass shooters between 1984 and the end of 2015 218 when including the 2016 massacre at Pulse nightclub in Orlando. Both figures massively undercut the up-to 1,000 and likely far more civilians killed by drones in the aforementioned conservative estimates noted by the Intercept. This means Obamas drone program abroad, when looking at independent estimates, has killed up to500 percent more innocent people than mass shootings in the United States. In these times of hot tempers and the seeming imperative need by many to swiftly assign blame, its necessary to emphasize this article isnt intended to condone wanton violence no matter who perpetrates it. Nor does this article seek to condemn guns or call for any measure of gun control. But what must be noted are the lengths the government goes to in order to obfuscate exactly how deadly its drone warfare program can be treating innocent lives as meaningless through statistical legerdemain for the sole purpose of justifying its continuance while simultaneously posturing about gun violence at home. This is heightened hypocrisy at its finest. And we would expect nothing less.

Obama supporters LOVE the drone program it lets them kill off all the minorities living over their oil without them having to get their pretty little liberal hands dirty. In fact, liberals never met a genocide of brown people by a democrat president that they didnt like Libya, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia ALL favorite places for democrats to bomb. The ONLY reason democrats protested the Iraq war was because it wasnt THEIR president having all the fun killing brown people. Now that their boy is in the white house they could care less how many brown people he kills if your president is brown, its OKAY to kill brown people. Democrats killing brown people to steal their oil so the KKK doesnt have to All drone targets are innocent victims. These are people, convicted of nothing, having no proper charges or representation, selected for death by an American President who has no legal, moral, or ethical basis for his acts. It is rather distracting to speak of civilian collateral damage numbers. The entire program cannot be distinguished from the old Argentine military juntas long campaign of disappearing people. All Americans should be ashamed. and the unfunny thing about it is that the Government was behind the mass shootings to the same extent that they were behind the drone killings. As an updated aside (Thursday late evening 7th July), while there are probably some things I shouldnt and wont say about the killing of multiple Dallas cops tonight..Im sick and tired of watching videos of them abusing citizen rights, which I also experienced while working briefly there. The current no-name potus and the HilBillary death machine wants complete world domination and conquer by division is their motto. 
3	How they would stage a bioterror eventJon Rappoport 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. 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. 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 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. And the kicker is, conventional doctors have no treatments that, in and of themselves, elevate the power of the immune system. So they must exaggerate and propagandize the power of germs, night and day. 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. 
1	After decades of only offering ruled notebook paper suitable for college-level education and below, school-supply giant Mead introduced its new grad-school-ruled notebook Monday, which features lines twice as narrow as college-ruled paper. 'We here at Mead understand that as students get older and wiser, they need notebooks with increasingly narrow lines,' Mead CEO John A. Luke told reporters. 'In college, people are at a stage in their education where they require 9/32nds of an inch between each line, which is why we make college-ruled notebooks. But I think we can all agree that grad school is a completely different world than collegea world where 9/32nds of an inch is simply too much room.' 'How can we expect graduate students to learn to gather information and construct knowledge independently within their specialized field of study using college-ruled notebooks?' he added. 'These students need a narrower-lined notebook, and at long last, they have it.' According to Mead's website, the ruling lines in the grad-school-ruled notebooks will be placed 3.55 millimeters apart, making them 'infinitely more practical' for postgraduate work than the 7.1 millimeter college-ruled notebooks. In addition, the standard 1.5-inch top margin normally provided for dates and headers will be halved, and the left-hand margin will be eliminated entirely. 'Just think: If you are writing a dissertation on elements of thanatopsis and necromimesis as they relate to cacaesthesian themes of mid-20th-century Irish literature, do you really want your notebook lines to be more than seven millimeters apart?' Luke said. 'Of course not.' 'When you're in grad school, every millimeter counts,' he added. A recent Mead press release claimed that the streamlined 3.55-millimeter spaces between lines are perfect for contemplating Curry's Paradox, solving quantum chromodynamics formulas based on the Yang-Mills theory of color-charged fermions, or even just doing sophisticated grad-school doodles. 'Gone are the days of graduate students having to tediously pencil in new lines between each existing college-ruled line just to make the notebooks usable,' the press release read in part. 'And with the time you'll save by not having to flip a page every 33 lines, you could earn your Ph.D. a year early.' The new notebook also features a helpful page on its inside back cover that includes not only the traditional metric-conversion charts and world time zone map, but also handy guides such as the periodic table of elements, the Hertzsprung-Russell star-luminosity diagram, steel wire tension strengths, a list of the lattice phenomena of crystalline solids, and the entirety of Willa Cather's 1918 novel My ntonia. In addition, each page will be triple-perforated and seven-hole-punched, which Mead representative Kurt Fleming said is 'essential for the 21st-century graduate student.' The notebook will also have more spirals. Asked to explain why this particular change was made, Fleming responded, 'This notebook was designed with graduate students in mind.' The notebooks are currently available in several special grad-school-edition colors, including alabaster, saffron, vermilion, and, for girl graduate students, periwinkle. Student response to the new product has thus far been positive. 'I remember in my first year of grad school, I would always think to myself, 'I wish that every line in my notebook could be as narrow as the one on the bottom of the page that gets cut off,'' said Milo Aylsworth, a master's candidate in English at Harvard. 'I'm going to write the name of each class on the covers!' Mead has also announced that, in 2009, the company plans to release a line of real-world-ruled notebooks, in which the spaces between the lines will be so microscopic that they will not be visible to the naked eye. 
3	New Citizen Watchdog Group Takes on the TSAselfnews Post Similar to a neighborhood watch, this national non-profit organization seeks to empower citizens to take action and ensure their own security through safety in numbers. As stated by the creators of TSA Watch: Too many of our family, friends, and fellow travelers have been violated by agents of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). While some may argue the need for federal security at airports, one thing is clear it is not the American way to sacrifice fundamental liberty for temporary security. Whenever there are those who use security as an excuse to violate our property, our privacy, or our dignity, there need to be champions brave enough to stand up and draw a line. There has been an uptick in citizens using technology as a boomerang against the same tools of oppressive surveillance that the various agencies of the U.S. government have exploited. Please see the video below and learn more about how you can support this national campaign for liberty that will combine the use of phone apps, web-based tools and a legal framework to restore the right to privacy and dignity while traveling. From TSA Watch The Mission: With a broad-based membership, both seen and unseen, our very presence can act to deter abuses by agents of the TSA. And where that is not enough, we will document violations and bring the worst offenders to the attention of the TSA and the public. TSA Watch will work to educate and organize members to document and even video record the TSA in action. We will help them to prepare and submit complaints about inappropriate TSA agent behavior, and to demand compliance with the Fourth Amendment. And, where possible, we will help them to prosecute for theft and molestations, and for other violations of travelers rights, dignity, and property. As an organization, we will use web and phone app tools to collect complaint reports, map hot spots (sources of repeated complaints), and hold the TSA and their agents accountable for their actions. We will utilize professional tool-sets to document TSA misbehavior including sworn witness testimony, audio and visual recording, and new technologies for tracking items missing from passenger luggage. Our members will receive articles and videos on how to deal with the TSA, TSA Watch tags and locks for their luggage, and members services, including member discussion areas, help filing complaints, and more. A phone app will be developed to help members through the TSA security zones, document the process, and make filing complaints easyand more effective. We will also provide and/or sell products useful for holding the TSA accountable and for promoting TSA Watch, including chips to track items, in-luggage cable locks to prevent theft during searches, and protocols for properly documenting claims. Other services may include a variety of seminars, litigation classes, legal insurance, legal counsel and other assistance. To this end, we are seeking $35,000 to create a stalwart legal and multimedia infrastructure while we prepare for our true public launch, a national multimedia membership and funding campaign. So far we have one angel committed for 10% of the total and several interested parties. We are poised to begin, and seek immediate funding. We sure could use your helpeven if you think its not much. The funding request is humble for what we are doing, and just covers the bare bones preparation work for an organization that can handle a national campaign. Your contributions in this early phase will be put to immediate use, as we work to create the legal and multimedia infrastructure for a successful and massive membership campaign, to meet or exceed our $1 million and 20,000 member initial target goals, creating a national nonprofit well positioned to defend our rights. The Team Our founding Director is Evan Cutler, who organized and led Alaskans for Ron Paul in 2008 and 2012. Evan also directed, fundraised and established the legal structure for the National DVDs for Delegates Project in 2008. Christopher Flynn, Assistant Director, brings over 30 years of exceptional creative vision, radio and television multimedia production, and business experience to this project. Alicia Dearn is our startup legal counsel for TSA Watch. She is a partner at Bellatrix PC, and served as primary counsel for the 2012 Libertarian Party, Gary Johnson for President Campaign. How You Can Help Also, weare actively growing our non-profits Board Of Directors and Advisors while we raise funds. If you are interested in becoming a part of our board, please contact us to let us know why you feel you might be a good match. Likewise, if you have other ways to help that dont fit into the GoFundMe system, please dont hesitate to reach out to us. We have just set up a very basic website at www.TSAWatch.org, and will be updating it as we can. You can also write to us with questions, suggestions, or concerns with an email via GoFundMe. With your assistance, we can protect Americans rights and prevent the TSA from violating our liberties. There is no time like the present. Please feel free to donate whatever you wish, here on GoFundMe, right now. How can we thank you for your support? Anyone who donates $5 or more will get free membership for two years, and the phone app for free once its developed.

2	Why Muslims Want This Veteran Dead... But Hes Refusing To Back Down Retired Marine Major R.E.G. Fox Sinke, Jr. has continued his position standing guard over Canadas National War Museum. He has been receiving numerous death threats from Muslims living in the area. Sinke is a highly decorated war veteran, who has earned himself four Purple Hearts from his tours in Vietnam. He is a Candian-American dual citizen. And he made the decision to stand guard of the war memorial out of respect for Corporal Nathan Circillo, who was killed by a terrorist while standing guard at the same site.. The murder of the young Cpt. Cirillo was so despicable and craven that I just couldnt find it within myself to do nothing, Sinke told reporters. Sinke stood guard alone for eight hours at the memorial before armed police officers arrived to join him. Since he has literally and figuratively taken a stand, Sinke has received numerous death threats, many of which arrive in Arabic. Policy have shown concern over the harsh words, but Sinke does not appear worried. If theyre looking for a fight they came to the right guy. I promise you this: If they come here theyll die here.

1	Following news that author J.K. Rowling had secretly authored the crime novel The Cuckoos Calling under the pen name Robert Galbraith earlier this year, multiple reports confirmed today that Rowling, widely known as the author of the popular Harry Potter series of books, is actually the longtime pseudonym of former house speaker Newt Gingrich, who created the boy wizard and penned all seven of the bestselling novels. Assuming a fake identity really gave me a lot of freedom to build out the world of Hogwarts and flesh out the characters without drawing unwanted attention to myself or having the novels associated in any way with my political career, Gingrich said in a statement, confirming reports he wrote the first four books in the fantasy series while still in office, but wrote the remainder before his 2012 presidential run. I am happy readers enjoyed my books, as I myself have always felt a very strong personal connection to Harry, Dumbledore, Hermione, and all of my other characters. Honestly, I miss them all every day. Gingrich went on to say while he mostly tried to keep his political life separate from his fiction, the character of Ron Weasley was based almost entirely on Tom Daschle.

3	First City in U.S. Passes Resolution Against DronesDavid Swanson, Contributor WHEREAS, the rapid implementation of drone technology throughout the United States poses a serious threat to the privacy and constitutional rights of the American people, including the residents of Charlottesville; and WHEREAS, the federal government and the Commonwealth of Virginia have thus far failed to provide reasonable legal restrictions on the use of drones within the United States; and WHEREAS, police departments throughout the country have begun implementing drone technology absent any guidance or guidelines from law makers; NOW, THEREFORE, LET IT BE RESOLVED, that the City Council of Charlottesville, Virginia, endorses the proposal for a two year moratorium on drones in the state of Virginia; and calls on the United States Congress and the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia to adopt legislation prohibiting information obtained from the domestic use of drones from being introduced into a Federal or State court, and precluding the domestic use of drones equipped with anti-personnel devices, meaning any projectile, chemical, electrical, directed-energy (visible or invisible), or other device designed to harm, incapacitate, or otherwise negatively impact a human being; and pledges to abstain from similar uses with city-owned, leased, or borrowed drones. The same City Council passed a resolution on January 17, 2012, calling for an end to drone wars, as well as ground wars, excessive military spending, and any possible attack on Iran. The wording of Mondays resolution comes largely from a draft suggested by the Rutherford Institute. An initial line was deleted and two amendments were made to the final paragraph, one endorsing a two-year moratorium on drones (something that had passed in committee in both houses of the Virginia legislature as of Saturday in the House and Monday in the Senate), the other committing the City not to use drones for surveillance or assault. At the previous meeting of the City Council on January 7, 2013, I and a few other residents had spoken in support of a resolution, and three of the five city council members agreed to put it on the agenda for the February 4th meeting. Some of the public comments were excellent, and the video of the meeting is on the citys website. On Monday, citizens speaking in favor of the anti-drone resolution dominated the public speaking period at the beginning of the meeting, shortly after 7 p.m. Many were quite eloquent, and the video will be available soon on the citys site. The council members did not discuss and vote on the matter until shortly after 11 p.m. The discussion was quite brief, coming on the heels of hours devoted to other matters. The same three city council members who had put the item on the agenda voted in favor of the resolution, passing it by a vote of 3-2. They were Dave Norris, Dede Smith, and Satyendra Sing Huja. Norris and Smith negotiated the slight improvements to the Rutherford Institutes draft with Huja, who initially favored passing that draft as it was written. Norris and Smith favored banning the City from purchasing drones, but Council Member Kristin Szakos argued that there might be a positive use for a drone someday, such as for the fire department. Kathy Galvin joined Szakos in voting No. Norris has been a leader on the City Council for years and sadly will not be running for reelection at the end of his current term. Following the January meeting, I submitted my draft to the city, asked people to phone and email the council members, published a column in the local daily newspaper, and organized an event in front of City Hall on Sunday, the day before the vote. Anti-drone activist John Heuer from North Carolina delivered a giant model drone produced by New York anti-drone activist Nick Mottern. Our little stunt produced coverage on the two television channels and in the newspaper. I asked people to commit to attending the meeting on a Facebook page. The room ended up packed, and when I asked those who supported the resolution to stand, most of the room did so. No organized pro-drone lobby ever developed. We met and confronted the argument that localities shouldnt lobby states or Washington. And, of course, some people are opposed to drones in the United States but eager to see them used however the President may see fit abroad. Yet, we should. And Oregon is attempting to do so with its draft state legislation. In the past, Charlottesville has passed resolutions that have inspired other localities and impacted federal and state policies. Let us hope this one is no exception. This article first appeared here.

2	Muslims Everywhere Are Pissed After Applebees Makes HUGE Stand Against Islam A New Jersey man attempted to collect damages from Applebees after burning himself while bowing his head in prayer over a sizzling steak fajita skillet. In March of 2010, Hiram Jimenez visited the restaurant with his brother, and ordered the steak fajita. He was brought a sizzling skillet, but claims that the waitress did not warn him that the dish would be hot. After receiving the food, Jimenez and his brother bent over close to the table to engage in prayer. He claims that it was at that time he heard a sizzle, which was followed by a grease pop that resulted in burns in his left eye and face. When he reacted, he accidentally knocked the plate of food on his lap. Though Jimenez was not left with any scarring, he made the decision to sue Applebees in the state Superior Court, claiming that the chain negligently gave him hot food. The case was dismissed by the lower court, who ruled that the danger was open and obvious. When Jimenez appealed the cases, he received a similar decision from the appeals panel. Here, the danger posed by a plate of sizzling hot food was self-evident, the panel ruled. What do you think of the case? 
1	A local extension cord came under fire Monday when the four-foot length of electrical wiring failed to stretch from the end of area man Dwight Seidl's television cord to a nearby wall outlet. 'The sole function I required of this incompetent [extension cord] was to provide a connection between my TV power adaptor and the AC current in that outlet. Sadly, it was completely unable to perform even this simple task,' Seidl, who purchased the orange Black & Decker multi-socket extension cord that afternoon, told members of the media during a heated press conference. 'I stand by my earlier claims that the cord is a son of a bitch bastard piece of shit.' The extension cord's misstep has reportedly taken some heat off a much-maligned one-inch piece of Scotch tape, which Seidl has twice blasted for failing to hold up his wall calendar. 
1	After feelings of elation over the Miami Heat losing the NBA Finals started to fade this week, Americans across the country suddenly began to remember how much they actually hate the city of Dallas, the Mavericks, and their total fucking asshole owner Mark Cuban. Dont get me wrong, I loved watching those pricks on the Heat lose, but around Wednesday I was like, Wait a minuteif it were any other Finals matchup, I would have been rooting really hard against the Mavericks because I absolutely hate Dallas and always have, Chicago resident Keith Thompson told reporters Thursday. Its an awful place with terrible fans and overpaid players, and to be honest, I could actually care less about Dirk Nowitzki finally winning an NBA title. And fuck, Jason Kidd? That guys a piece-of-shit wifebeater. Ah, yes, its all coming back to me now. Americans who said they found themselves smiling when Mark Cuban held up the Larry OBrien Trophy confirmed they now think back on that moment with despair and wonder what kind of terrible human beings they must actually be to have such revolting impulses.

We do agree with one thing: Obama is treating the dangers of Islam like it is one big joke. What do you think of the report? 
3	Banks Can Legally Steal Customer Funds From Private Checking AccountsSusanne Posel, Contributor In the mainstream media (MSM), the SMG collapse and subsequent ruling in favor of BNYM was touted as a difficulty for customers to recoup money lost. SMG, a Chicago-based futures broker, had stolen more than $500 million in segregated customer funds to use as collateral on a loan to BNYM for in-house proprietary trading operations. Their books were audited by the National Futures Association (NFA), however the NFA admitted that they could not understand the convoluted mess they were provided by SMG to sign off on. And yet they did; and approved the audit. BNYM sued SMG to re-coup any monies owed to them. However, these monies were customer segregated funds that SMG stole and re-hypothecated. In federal court, John D. Tinder, US Circuit Court Judge ruled that Sentinel failed to keep client funds properly segregated is not, on its own, sufficient to rule as a matter of law that Sentinel acted with actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud its customers. Once the bank has physical possession of your money, they own it and can use it for any means they deem fit. The veil has been lifted on separation of customer and bank funds. They are now legally co-mingled. The bank could use it as collateral (as SMG did), to pay off debts, or place it on the stock market to bump up their trading with extra cash. And in the event that the customer allocated funds are lost, the bank does not owe the customer the money back. Essentially, once your deposit money in your bank account it is gone. Fred Grede, SMG trustee remarked: I dont think thats what the Commodity Futures Trading Commission had in mind. It does not bode well for the protection of customer funds. The MF Global (MFG) scandalrocked the investment world because Jon Corzine, Chief Executive Officer of MF Global, instructed the transfer of $200 million from their customer segregated funds to cover the corporations overdraft account with JP Morgan Chase. Corzine emailed this order just three days before the official collapse of MFG. At the same time Corzine was moving customer money, this missing $6.3 billion dollars were used on bets on European indebted nations. As those European nations credit ratings plummeted, JP Morgan profited financially. Our financial institutions have been planningfor a financial collapse wherein the US government will not offer assistance. The resolution plansrequired by the Federal Reserve Bank, described schemes to have the major domestic banks remain afloat by selling off assets, finding alternative sources of funding, reducing risky measures that make a quick buck. These strategies were to be perfected with no assumption of extraordinary support from the public sector. Selling non-core assets without upsetting shareholders, while protecting the monetary system, taxpayers, and creditors is the work of the mega-banks who have contributed solely to the destruction of the global financial markets. Bank of America (BoA) and Citibank have already begun to liquidate some of their assets an action a bank takes when they are insolvent. Both mega-banks and credit unions have been silently altering their deposit/withdrawal policies to deter customers from emptying out their accounts. Because the digital record of monies is greater than the physical cash held by banks, this is a scheme to stave off a run on the banks. With the PATRIOT Act, signed in 2001 by former President George W. Bush, and extended in 2011 by President Obama, it is stated that all banks must record all banking transactions with photo ID and fingerprints that will then be sent to an FBI database wherein all banking information tied to each individual on file can be traced for future reference. Of recent, when withdrawing cash from an ATM, the daily allotted amount has decreased with some banks, thereby forcing the customer to go into the branch and extract the difference with a teller. At this point, according to anonymous informants, the customer is taken into a backroom to be questioned as to why they want the cash, what they are purchasing with the cash, and why they are not choosing to use a debit card or another form of digital trade to make the purchase. These questions are not only intrusive, they are illegal. Some anonymous sources have said that banking representatives who conduct the interrogations are directed to keep a record of customer responses on an online application that will be sent to the FBI in conjunction with PATRIOT Act mandates on tracking banking activity. While American citizens sit on the fence about whether or not they even subscribe to a banking collapse in the US, globalists like George Soros are investing heavily in gold. Soros recently unloaded over one million shares of stock in financial companies and banks that include Citigroup (420,000 shares), JP Morgan (701,400 shares) and Goldman Sachs (120,000 shares). The total value of the stock sales amounts to nearly $50 million and then purchased 884,000 shares of Gold with SPDR Gold Trust. The mega-banks, through Wall Street, are also acquiring firearms, ammunition and control over private mercenary corporations like DynCorp and Blackwater as authorized by the Department of Defense (DoD) directive 3025.18 . DynCorp is a military-based private mercenary contractor that provides (among other services) intelligence training and support, international security, contingency plans and operations. Ninety-six percent of their funding is based on annual revenues from the US federal government. The international branch of DynCorp has operated as a police force even assisting local law enforcement during Hurricane Katrina. Named as investors for the amassing of gun and ammunition manufacturers are Citibank, BoA, Barclays and Deutsche Bank who are pouring money into Cerebus and Veritas Equity who have taken over private corporations involved in controlling riot situations. The Federal Reserve Bank, one of the heads of banking cartels, has their own police force which operates as a protective security for the Fed against the American public. As part of the Federal Reserve Act signed in 1913, the designation of a Federal Law Enforcement special police officers that are exclusively regulated by authority of the Fed (whether in uniform or plain clothes. These specialized police officers (who train with Special Response Teams) can work in tandem with local law enforcement or US federal agencies. These officers are heavily armed with semi-automatic pistols, sub machine guns and assault rifles as well as body armor. Just this month, the Kaspersky Lab discovered Gauss, a banking surveillance virus believed to have the capability of stealing money out of customers bank accounts, as well as spying on banking transactions, stealing login information for social networks, email and instant messaging. So far, Middle Eastern banks have reported having been affected by Gauss however both Citibank and Ebays Paypal have also been infected by this new viral threat to our banking systems. Once all customer funds have been electronically transferred into off-shore accounts, the specialized police forces and hired mercenaries would be allocated forward to protect the technocrats from retaliation for their crimes.

2	BREAKING: Obama Goes Behind Americas Back And Silently Passes Executive Order On Guns Once again, President Obama is using executive action to get his way behind the backs of the American public. Its been clear from the moment Obama entered the White House that he had intentions to limit the Second Amendment. This week, he signed yet another order that blatantly violates our Constitutional rights. According to reports, Obamas most recent order moves towards regulating gunsmiths by reclassifying them as gun manufacturers. The State Departments Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) released a letter outlining more executive gun controls, including guidelines for gunsmiths to register with the DDTC and pay fees requisite to that registration. In the letter, the DDTC listed several activities that a gunsmith can do that do not require registration. They claim that gunsmiths are exempt from registering or paying fees for occasional assembly of firearm parts and kits that do not require cutting, drilling, or machining for installation. They also do not have to register for repairs involving replacement parts that do not improve accuracy, caliber, or other aspects of firearm operation. The result? The process of buying and selling guns is more complicated and difficult for everyone. What do you think of this new order?

3	Exercise Activity Increases Good Gut BacteriaHeather Callaghan Just Gut. One journal completely devoted to gut studies in the realm of gastroenterology. As far science trends are concerned, the gut has become a sexy topic, if you can believe it. But it should be more than that. A lot of people hear exercise and think yeah, yeah, blah, blah Or maybe its only a means to become sexy. But it should be more than that This particular study published in journal Gut albeit a small one if true, should be all the more proof that movement is a part of diet and not just a separate entity for the body. Research is finally lending its collective credibility to gut microbiota, immunity and the gut-brain connection. You could have asked farmers half a century ago for another reason they liked antibiotics it somehow fattened their animals. Yet it is only now that conventional research is drawing a connection between antibiotic use and human obesity problems. And probiotics and good health. Most people think of taking probiotics through supplements or fermented foods and drinks. Exercise is now a good way to boost healthy gut bacteria. Diet did play a role in the following study. Researchers studied fecal and blood samples of 40 professional rugby players, chosen for their extreme diets and exercise as a comparison. Those were compared with samples from 46 healthy men with normal body mass index (BMI) and some of those 46 were chosen for having higher BMI. The athletes had higher levels of creatine kinase, an enzyme indicator for muscle and tissue damage. BUT, they had lower levels of inflammatory markers than the healthy men as well as a better metabolic profile. Heres where else the gut bacteria factors in. Athletes had higher levels of several microbial types (taxa). They had significantly higher proportions of 48 taxa than men with high BMI; and of 40 taxa than men with normal BMI. They showed much higher amounts of Akkermansiaceae a bacteria species linked to having lower rates of obesity and associated metabolic disorders. Rugby players ate more from all the food groups and protein from meats made a bulk of their diet and 22% more of their energy intake. They also took a lot of protein supplements and had hearty amounts of fruit and vegetables, but fewer snack foods than their counterparts. Dr. Georgina Hold, of the Institute of Medical Sciences at Aberdeen University believes there has never been a more important time to understand the health of our resident microbiota. In a linked editorial, she said: She pointed out that we are comprised by trillions of bacteria, the whole of which are implicated in many conditions and determine how well we harvest the energy from the foods we eat. Does this mean I have to take up rugby? Not unless thats your thing. But the idea here is that movement matters to your gut. Its not separate from your diet, its a part of it.

3	Dictator Rising but Dont Blame the PresidentSusan Boskey Im also the President of the worlds oldest constitutional democracy. So even though I possess the authority to order military strikes, I believed it was right, in the absence of a direct or imminent threat to our security, to take this debate to Congress. Like President Bush before him, President Obama makes it easy to blame him. Maybe it just takes too much effort to recall that nothing happens in a vacuum including presidents whose actions dont reflect the will of the people. Events in nature and the world of humans are always informed by what came before. What came before in America are event after event resulting in the consolidation of power in the hands of a few. Heres the deal, one small example of the world we live in. President Obama can legally make a unilateral call for war given the Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF). Passed by Congress after 9/11 as an emergency statute without restrictions, it is still in force. Recently, military officials at a May 16, 2013 meeting of the Senate Armed Services Committee lobbied for an open-ended extension of AUMF. It authorizes the president to put United States military boots on the ground anywhere in the world including the United States. S.J.Res. 23 (107th): Authorization for Use of Military Force (a) IN GENERAL- That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons. In 1971 Philip Zimbardo, professor Emeritus of Psychology at Stanford University, conducted what is now known as the Stanford Prison Experiment. He hoped to learn how good people could end up doing bad things. The simulated prison experience was held at the university and planned to last 24 hours a day for 14 days. Professor Zimbardo carefully selected 24 undergraduate students who were of sound body and mind and to whom he agreed to pay $15 a day for their participation. These normal students were divided into those who would play the role of prison guard and those who would play the role of inmate. The guards had to demonstrate control and command over the inmates. What happened was fascinating. Briefly, the guards acted so cruelly towards the inmates and the inmates suffered so much that the experiment had to be shut down after only six days. Evaluating the experiments outcome, Professor Zimbardo concluded it was these types of situations that turned ordinary people evil. In his book, The Lucifer Effect, he reflected, Only a few people were able to resist the situational temptations to yield to power and dominance while maintaining some semblance of morality and decency; obviously I was not among that noble class. Bottom line: a societal framework, i.e. a closed system such as a prison, corporation, family, government system, etc., can influence and radically shape a persons personality and behavior for the worse. This is how good people end up doing bad things. Of course, the opposite is also true that a societal framework could influence and radically shape a persons personality and behavior for the better. With the Constitution of 1787, America gained a centralized system that separated government into three branches: judicial, legislative and executive. Up until this time, the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, Americas first constitution, deliberately kept the legislative and executive branches joined as one. This, along with the decentralization of the original 13 autonomous states, was done consciously to safeguard early Americans against a repeat of the imperial powers of a king. The long-term implications of the separation of legislative and executive powers of a centralized government had either been entirely misunderstood or completely understood. The Address and Reasons of Dissent of the Minority of the Convention of Pennsylvania to their Constituents, December 12, 1787, registered concerns of those who saw the potential problems ahead. The president is to have the control over the enacting of laws, so far as to make the concurrence of two-thirds of the representatives and senators present necessary, if he should object to the laws. Thus it appears that the liberties, happiness, interests, and great concerns, of the whole United States, may be dependent upon the integrity, virtue, wisdom and knowledge of twenty-five or twenty-six men. How inadequate and unsafe a representation! Inadequate, because the sense and views of three or four million of people diffused over so extensive a territory, comprising such various climates, products, habits, interests, and opinions, can not be collected in so small a body. Whats more, the power of the executive branch was augmented under the Constitution since a President of the United States has responsibility for two offices: head of government and head of state. Saddam Hussein, Moammar Kaddafi, Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini also held both presidential offices. In 1939 as Chancellor of Germany, Adolph Hitler had skillfully pulled Germany out of the World War I economic crisis making true believers out of millions of Germans. With the powers of both head of government and head of state, and given thousands of unquestioning supporters, he wielded a free hand one baby-step after another towards his legacy of the twentieth centurys most unthinkable atrocity. People will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it. A Psychological Analysis of Adolph Hitler, His Life and Legend, Walter C. Langer, Office of Strategic Services (OSS), Washington, D.C., 1943 Add to this that nowhere in the second constitution was a President of the United States granted explicit power to unilaterally make laws, i.e. executive orders. Articles I and II state that all legislative power is with Congress and the executive power is with the president. Yet according to the Congressional Research Service, executive orders arise from implied constitutional and statutory authority and are made legal when documented in the Federal Registrar. Over time, this caveat for executive orders has led the executive branch to enjoy a status above reproach. Like the impotent legislators of Julius Caesars first-century cabinet, so are modern-day Congressional legislators in the matter of executive orders. Only twice in American history have legislators vetoed an executive order, once under President Harry S. Truman and the other time under President Bill Clinton. President Obamas 2012 campaign slogan, We cant wait, helped further advance the acceptability of executive orders but, rest assured, he is only the most recent of the presidents to exploit implied presidential powers. I cannot accept your canon that we are to judge Pope and King unlike other men, with a favourable presumption that they did no wrong. If there is any presumption it is the other way, against the holders of power, increasing as the power increases. Historic responsibility has to make up for the want of legal responsibility. Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority, still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority. There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it.Lord Acton, English politician, historian and writer 1837- 1869 An American president of inordinate powers is but the product of a centralized government system. All centralized systems move in the direction of increased consolidation of power and control to accomplish its overriding objective of self-preservation. In this regard, the United States behaves more like a corporation than a government of by and for the people. Its survival depends on strategies capable of strengthening the perpetuity of the U.S. government entity; the government prioritizes, protects and supports its funding sources and commercial partners. When dictators commit atrocities, they depend upon the world to look the other way President Barack Obama, September 10, 2013 Once viewing facts from outside the matrix it is easy to see that, hidden in plain view, tyranny rises as the ever-increasing unilateral powers of the President of the United States. Perhaps the degradation of the lives of everyday Americans is but a preview of coming attractions. In the country of the worlds largest prison population but promoted as the worlds greatest democracy, is anyone paying attention? Democracy passes into despotism.

1	Explaining that his sole concern is serving and protecting his community, Fort Wayne police officer Vincent Turner told reporters Wednesday that he does not see any difference between black and light-skinned black suspects. As an officer of the law, I am committed to administering justice swiftly and even-handedly, regardless of whether the suspect has dark skin or really dark skin, said Turner, adding that he has no problem giving a full pat-down to any potential criminal or hauling them down to precinct headquarters in the back of his patrol car, even if they are more of a light mocha color. When youre responding to reports of gunshots fired, or sprinting down an alleyway, youre not thinking about where the suspect falls on the spectrum of African-American skin tonesyoure thinking about doing your job. Heck, the guy could be a very dark-looking Latino, for all I careI treat every one of them the same. Hes still just a suspect to me. Turner added that his dedication to upholding the law stems from a belief that all local residents should be able to walk their streets without fear, whether they come from an affluent white neighborhood or a working-class white neighborhood. 
3	Government Secrets: X-37B Plane in Space for a Year Now, Nobody Knows its MissionBy Amando Flavio The Mirror reports that the reusable unmanned spacecraft blasted into orbit from Cape Canaveral in the state of Florida, carrying a brand new type of ion engine called a Hall thruster, and a NASA experiment designed to test how 100 types of materials respond to the harsh conditions of space. At a first glance, the vehicle looks just like a mini Space Shuttle, yet it isnt. X-37B is too small to carry people on-board, but does have a cargo bay similar to that of a pickup truck, which is just large enough to carry a small satellite. At the time the plane took off, some scientists expressed grave concern. A senior scientist at the Global Security Program,and also a member of the Union of Concerned Scientists, Laura Grego reportedly told Space.com that there was no compelling reason why experiments should be carried aboard a top-secret craft. Currently, it is believed the unmanned plane has spent the past year orbiting around Earth. The American government has, however, failed to give any tangible reason behind the deployment of X-37B to space, except saying it is for an experiment. As to the actual nature of the experiment, that still remains a mystery. However, due to the secret nature about the actual mission of the space vehicle, on its 1st anniversary in space (May 20th, 2016), many observers have resorted to speculations and assumptions about the true purpose of the plane orbiting around the Earth. In the Russian media, for example, we gathered that several articles have been published, suggesting it is part of a space warfare mission designed to allow the United States to destroy other satellites in space. Even in America, some critical online news mediaoutlets havesaid the X-37B is part of a top-secret government program to develop reusable, unmanned spacecraft technologies and conduct covert experiments. The American online news reports added that the United States Air Force has already successfully completed three X-37B missions, starting with the first launch in April 2010; it is said the three missions and two X-37B craft have proved reusable flight, re-entry, and landing technologies. Judging from this background, many observers asked thatif the previous missions have proved successful, why was another X-37B launched again in 2015? However,according to an American renowned astronomer at Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Jonathan McDowell, the mystery of the X-37B may not lie so much in the structure of the vehicle, but rather, in what it is carrying. He revealed that the vehicle is perfect for carrying sensitive cargo into space for testing. Mr McDowell also posited that the American government is conducting some covert experiments in space, and will try as much possible to keep it secret, adding that even engineers working on the plane cannot tell its mission in space. PC World quoted Mr McDowell as saying They are filling the payload bay with various experiments. Probably different experiments each flight, probably for different customers. The sorts of things that you would want with something like this you develop new technology sensors like new cameras, new listening devices, intelligence [gathering] radio antennas, and maybe a new type of antenna dish that unfolds in a new way. And you want to exercise it in space multiple times and then bring it back to earth. The big question now for many observers is how long this mysterious mission is going to last. It is said the duration of the past three missions has progressively increased, from 240 days, to 469 days, and finally 674 days. Therefore, many observers believe that this current mission might last for 720 days, or more. You want to support Anonymous Independent Investigative News?

WHAT WE CAN BE SURE OF IS, IF IT IS AMERICAN AND ITS MISSION IS NOT REGISTERED, THEN IT IS A 99 PER CENT GUARANTEE THAT IT IS UP TO NO GOOD.

2	BREAKING: GOP Launch Major Investigation Into Obama Corruption, Claim Impeachment Likely According to recent report, Republicans have called for an investigation into yet another instance of federal corruptionthis time involving David Grain, a major Obama donor. Allegedly, Grains company received certain special favors from the government, including a ford of exemption from the FCCs auctioning rules, which were designed to give smaller companies a competitive advantage in the bidding process. Due to the exemption, Grains company will have additional bidding credits that would be unavailable to companies of a similar size and income. The exemption is extraordinarily suspicious, given that Grain has offered significant support to the Democratic National Committee with several five-figure donations. He also personally donated $5,000 to President Obama during the 2012 campaign. The report claims that federal representatives are paying attention to this issue and stand ready to act as a resource to Congress as we continue to address this important issue. While this is not a purely Democratic issue, the Obama administration has faced many allegations of corruption when it comes to political donors. What do you think? Should the administration be punished for granting special favors? 
3	Political Terrorism - New Term Rolled Out By Mass Media In Context Of Firebombing StoryBy Bernie Suarez Hidden in all the daily drama, chaos and propaganda being put out by the now entirely discredited and irrelevant mainstream media are the revelations of outright corruption and criminality exposed in the Clintons and DNC email hacks of the past few months. Anyone falling for any of the many points of division being engineered by the ruling elite such as the race wars (KKK, Black Lives Matter, etc.), religious differences (Muslims vs Christians), gender (feminists vs men) and sexual orientation is not only ignorant of how you are being used and deliberately distracted by the elite but you lack the ability to step back and see the greater picture. These (and other) divisive topics seem to have an appeal with many people. But a persons ability to break away from their own personal attraction, feelings and identification with these points of division determines whether or not you will be able to see and appreciate the inevitably and objectively present bigger picture. Being able to see the bigger picture will eventually allow you to take control of your life. You will easily see how the timing of all these issues regularly presented by the mainstream media demonstrates a precise agenda almost every time. Never has this timing and purpose of the mainstream media and the establishment been more obvious to the objective and astute observer than during this 2016 US presidential election season. What am I talking about? Any critical thinking truth seeker who has been paying attention to the ratcheted up (particularly liberal left) mainstream media propaganda knows the gloves are off. Everyone now officially knows or is aware that Hillary Clinton is a corrupt lifetime criminal that belongs in jail; yet amazingly she is not only still free but close to potentially becoming president of the United States even as new Trump scandals are put out to divert everyones attention. And while this in-your-face criminality is flaunted all over TV and mainstream media the people of America are being divided in a manner that is leading to a carefully planned state of maximum tension, fear and civil unrest. The exact kind of civil unrest, fear and chaos that you would need to destroy whats left of the US Constitution, individual rights and due process. Chaos and destruction of America is moving along as planned. So no one should be surprised that for the first time we are hearing a brand new phrase political terrorism after (were told by mainstream media) a firebomb was thrown into the County Republican Headquarters in Hillsborough, North Carolina. This story, timing and all, resembles quite nicely the engineered destruction of America Ive been talking about for months. The first and most important thing I would ask all readers to notice about this story is that the story offers minimal details of what actually happened. Notice that specific peoples opinions and thoughts (commonly used as a trick to persuade the reader) then becomes the main part of the story. There is a difference between objectively reporting what happened versus writing an article where from the very start youre being told what someone else thinks about what happened. Huge difference which is often goes unnoticed by the unaware reader. Opinions and inflammatory comments emphasized: A county Republican headquarters in Hillsborough, N.C., was firebombed overnight Saturday, an attack that a party official called political terrorism. Police said a bottle of flammable liquid was thrown through the front window of the office in Hillsborough, a town in Orange County near Raleigh. Nazi Republicans get out of town or else was spray painted on the side of an adjacent building. This highly disturbing act goes far beyond vandalizing property; it willfully threatens our communitys safety via fire, and its hateful message undermines decency, respect and integrity in civic participation, Hillsborough Mayor Tom Stevens said in a statement. Acts like this have no place in our community. Orange County, home to the University of North Carolina in nearby Chapel Hill, is overwhelmingly Democratic. Democrats and independents outnumber Republicans 5 to 1. Hillsborough police and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were investigating. Dallas Woodhouse, executive director of the state Republican Party, called the bombing political terrorism. Notice the repeated use of the term political terrorism? I believe that is to get you used to seeing the term. Somehow I expect to hear a lot more of this term in the coming weeks even months. Well see. I personally do not believe there is any chance this is a random event. Welcome to the new world order where designated government agencies will tell you what really happened and we are expected shut up and believe them. Is there anyone out there who trusts anything these agencies say? Im sure they will deliver us the story when they are ready. When you realize the political times in which we live youll see that questioning and simply not believing anything put out by the corporate Western mainstream media really should be the norm for all of us. Perhaps the domestic terrorist didnt gain enough traction and now its time to test the political terrorist card. Has anyone considered that the events of the past few months leading up to the present day chaos and over-the-top propaganda could all be designed to give birth to the new political terrorist bogeyman? Especially as ISIS is defeated in Syria and Iraq? I always like to emphasize the stories before the stories to make us all think outside the box they have created for us. For readers who still believe it is logical and reasonable to believe mainstream media news until proven otherwise, good luck with that outdated logic. In the meantime, now we have political terrorism to work with; and just looking at the name, political plus terrorism, it isnt very difficult to see where they are going with this one. 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. It is political terrorism. Would hazard to speculate a Republican tossed a Molotov cocktail into the place after hours, tagged the building with the spray painted message. Oh look what the Eeeevil Democrats do. I have no qualms, love or hate with either party. I am not voting. I am merely an independent critically thinking objective observer. To me all of them are crooks liars equally. Spot on, Bernie. Jerry Springer Show writ large. A tawdry spectacle constantly fueled by new leaks. Biggest divide and conquer operation in US history since the civil war.coming on the heels of elite mouthpiece WSJ last year floating a trial balloon last summer on the literal state level fracturing of the US as prophesied by an anonymous big mover and shaker interviewed by veteran journalist Peggy Noonan. Bitter division at all levels around the globe. This past week Newsbud reporting on a normally harmonious Greek island becoming politically polarized by a massive influx of refugees, their local economy heavily dependent upon tourism utterly collapsing, with some island residents comparing their situation to Hillary vs. Trump. The polarization echoed across Europe as masses of exploited and terrorized immigrants are being used to divide people into warring camps. The geopolitical center stage yet another larger fractal. The goat worshipers have deep pockets and they bring only misery, tho they have stolen the wealth of the commoner. Until all the facts are in, which will never happen, then we can make a decision on this. My first guess was a set up, false flag.This is a two bit town in a two bit county, in a swing state, any real questions???? 
1	According to a report released Monday by Rutgers University's Center For Media Studies, mankind's collective knowledge of TV trivia is increasing at an astounding rate, doubling every three years. Culture Watch 'Our species' familiarity with the details of specific I Love Lucy episodes is 16 times what it was during the show's ratings peak in 1955,' said Dr. Timothy Klennert, director of the Center For Media Studies. 'For example, 80 percent of Americans are able to name the bogus health tonic that got Lucy drunk during the episode 'Lucy Does A TV Commercial,' compared to 5 percent the day after the program's original airing.' Klennert attributed the trend to the rise of such rerun-driven cable networks as Nick At Nite and TV Land, as well as the increased availability of classic TV episodes on home video. Also cited was the proliferation of Internet sites offering TV-trivia quizzes and books crammed with statistics and factoids about the history of the medium. 'In today's media-rich environment, a person pretty much has to live in a cave not to be exposed to TV trivia,' Klennert said. 'There are infants who haven't even watched television who can name all six Brady kids. It's practically genetically encoded.' Klennert praised the dedication of U.S. television viewers, who have 'tenaciously studied and absorbed TV trivia in the face of so many other forms of information competing for their attention.' 'In 1987, only 16 percent of Americans could sing the entire Family Ties theme song, including the 'Sha-la-la-la' ending, compared to the 67 percent able to sing the Friends theme today. If we continue at our current pace, it is not inconceivable that by 2010, there will be a TV theme song that achieves 100 percent saturation.' Some of the once-obscure TV shows that a majority of today's Americans can easily identify. Some complain that the TV-trivia explosion has come at a cost, contributing to a general decline in interest in such subjects as math, science, and history. For others, however, the trade-off has proven enormously profitable. 'I have no idea what a proton is,' said Who Wants To Be A Millionaire contestant John Carpenter, who won $1 million for correctly identifying the U.S. president who appeared on Laugh-In, becoming the subject of a TV-trivia factoid in his own right. 'Fortunately, the million-dollar question had nothing to do with such basic scientific knowledge.' According to Mark Bennett, author of TV Sets: Fantasy Blueprints Of Classic TV Homes, not only are more Americans trivia-savvy than ever before, but the quality of the trivia itself is increasing. 'It's no longer all that impressive to know that two different actors played Darrin on Bewitched,' Bennett said. 'To impress these days, you'd have to know that there were two Mrs. Kravitzes. Or two Louise Tates. Or that Jerry Seinfeld was on the first season of Benson.' Pondering the future of TV trivia, Bennett said: 'One day, I envision a world in which every American knows that Happy Days was a spin-off from a 1972 Love, American Style episode. A world in which the phrase 'No whammies!' is instantly associated by all with the '80s game show Press Your Luck. A world in which the importance of TV trivia is as universally undisputed as the greatness of the first three seasons of St. Elsewhere.' 
2	Barack Is FURIOUS After Joan Rivers Calls Michelle Obama Transgender On Live TV [VIDEO] Joan Rivers has never been quiet about her opinions, and this time its landed her in hot water with President Barack Obama. When Rivers was recently asked by a photographer whether she believed the United States would ever see the first gay president, her response was blunt: We already have it with Obama, so lets just calm down. You know Michelle is a trans, Rivers went on to comment about the First Lady. A transgender. We all know it. Later, Rivers was asked to comment on her initial remarks, after she received criticism from the LBGT community as well. I think its a compliment, Rivers claimed. Take a look and go back to La Cage Au Follies. The most gorgeous women are transgender. Stop it alreadyand if you want to talk about politically correct, I think this is a politically incorrect attack on me because Im old, Jewish a woman and a hettya heterosexualand I plan to sue the reporter who, when he turned off his camera, tried to ouch me inappropriately on the a**luckily he hit my ankle. Read the bookif you think thats silly, wait till you see what I say about FDR and Eleanor! What do you think of Rivers comments? Is she justified? 
3	Sharing Economy: Uber, Airbnb, Feastly vs Government RegulationBy Learn Liberty I think this is a fantastic trend, one which will surely set society free from the corrupt and oppressive apparatchiks who are firmly in the hands of the ruling elite. These entities are not beneficial to the overall health and well being of 1st world Western Nations. These business models are simply 3rd world incarnations. Thats all.Theyre just the next step in an ever increasing paradigm of fascism and dominance. Seriously, they offer NOTHING of value to society as a whole. Nothing. Its all interesting and all, but its all part of the same old paradigm. It LOOKS like something to those unaware, but theres nothing here, just mildly different owners, but same ole same ole. Uber a sharing economy? With whom? Uber already bid to buy 500,000 Tesla driverless cards when they go on the market in five years, 2020. There is no sharing with Uber, just more Vulture Capitalism. 
2	BREAKING: Trey Gowdy Just Sealed Hillarys Fate... Shes Done According to recent reports, Representative Trey Gowdy has just applied some serious pressure to Hillary Clinton and her lawyer David Kendall. They pair now have until April 3 to turn over her emails and private server to a neutral third party. If she fails to do so, he will pursue litigation. Despite the media attention on Hillarys use of a private email account during her time in the White House, very little has been accomplished in the case. But Gowdy, chairman of the Benghazi Select Committee, is determined to see the correspondence and get some answers, especially pertaining to the 2012 terrorist attack in Libya. The Committee must have objective assurance it, and by extension the House of Representatives as a whole, has received all relevant information request and necessary for a thorough investigation into what happened before, during, and after the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, the letter to Kendall read. The House of Representatives and the American people are entitled to a complete accounting of the Secretarys official record during her time as Secretary of State. Although Gowdy and his committee do not have police powers, he does have the ability to refer to her to the House of Representatives. Potentially, she could be charged with contempt of Congress. What do you think? Is it time to get answers from Hillary? 
2	They Tried To Censor These Christian TV Stars Faith, But They Refused To Cave To Their Demands For some time now, liberals have been painting Christians and Republicans with a broad brushclaiming they are all racists and bigots. This rhetoric has impacted some of the best and most respectable leaders and families. This week, the liberal media went after HGTV stars Chip and Joanna Gaines and their popular show Fixer Upper, targeting them for attending church. BuzzFeed, along with other liberal sites, went after the Gaines family this week for committing the crime of being Christian, TheBlaze reported. Sure, they didnt put it like that exactly. Instead, they accused Chip and Joanna of attending a church led by a pastor who doesnt believe in gay marriage. But, as anyone with even a trivial understanding of the worlds largest religious already knows, every authentic Christian church in the world teaches the same thing. There has never existed a real Christian church that disagrees with Gaines pastor on this matter. There have existed many apostate churches that deny Christs teachings on marriage and sexuality, but they are not Christian in any way other than their name (and often their names arent all that Christian, either. To put it simply, this attack on the Gaines family and Antioch Community Church, a non-denominational mega church, is just another way for liberals to attempt to attack and silence Christians in this country. The Gaines family has always been very open about their faith. Our family has made a commitment to put Christ first, a lifestyle our parents modeled for us very well, Joanna said in a recent video. They showed us how to keep our marriage and family centered around God. As for Fixer Upper, we have been surprised at the impact of our faith through the show. Jesus said the world would know his disciples by their love for one another, and weve glimpsed this in practice and strive for it every day. What do you think of this latest attack? Last time we checked, Freedom of Religion was a right granted to every person in this country.

3	US Unveils Iraq WMD Curveball-Style Lies Vs. SyriaAs NATO terror front collapses in Syria, US attempts to justify intervention by drumming up familiar WMD lies. Image: From Independents Man whose WMD lies led to 100,000 deaths confesses all: Defector tells how US officials sexed up his fictions to make the case for 2003 invasion. In retrospect, the corporate-media has no problem admitting the insidious lies that were told to justify the invasion and occupation of Iraq the lead up to the war was another story. A verbatim repeat of these admitted lies are being directed at Syria amidst the Wests failure to overthrow the government with terrorist proxies. The last two weeks have seen a series of victories for the Syrian Army across Syria. It appears that 2 full companies of so-called Free Syrian Army fighters have been annihilated near Damascus, while government forces have restored order in parts of Homs and along the previously porous Lebanese-Syrian border. Time has run out for the West, and it appears that they are desperately seeking any excuse to rescue their failing proxy war. When urgent, but otherwise unjustified military intervention is needed, a humanitarian pretext is usually invented as it was in Libya. Failing that, as the West has already clearly done in Syria, an even more tenuous narrative has been resurrected from its well-earned grave. CNN has reported in their article, Hagel: Evidence of chemical weapons use in Syria, that: U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced Thursday that the United States has evidence that chemical weapons have been used in Syria. Hagel said the intelligence agencies assessment was reached with varying degrees of confidence, meaning that they lacked proof or overwhelming evidence. He said the conclusion was reached within the last 24 hours and that the White House delivered a letter outlining the findings to Congress Thursday morning. A letter from the White House via the Washington Post exposed further just how tenuous the evidence actually is (emphasis added): Our intelligence community does assess with varying degrees of confidence that the Syrian regime has used chemical weapons on a small scale in Syria, specifically the chemical agent sarin. This assessment is based in part on physiological samples. Our standard of evidence must build on these intelligence assessments as we seek to establish credible and corroborated facts. For example, the chain of custody is not clear, so we cannot confirm how the exposure occurred and under what conditions. We do believe that any use of chemical weapons in Syria would very likely have originated with the Assad regime. Physiological samples indicating sarin in other words samples taken from people exposed to sarin, could have been produced in a number of ways. It is confirmed that Libyas chemical weapon stockpiles included sarin and mustard gas. In the Washington Posts 2011 Libyas poison gas unaffected by turmoil, official says, it was stated: Experts believe that Libya destroyed about 3,300 bombshells designed to carry mustard and sarin gas chemicals years ago, as part of its deal to end decades of economic and diplomatic isolation with the West. But some 10 metric tons of mustard sulfate and sarin gas precursor remain stockpiled in barrels at three locations in the Libyan desert south of Tripoli, where Moammar Gaddafi has holed up in a last-ditch fight to keep from being overthrown. Many experts worry that the barrels are ripe for picking by terrorists linked to al-Qaeda. Of course, since 2011, it is now confirmed that the so-called Libyan rebels were actually Al Qaeda terrorists operating under the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) which has been confirmed to have subsequently traveled to Syria to join Al Qaedas al-Nusra franchise in NATOs proxy war there. It is just as likely that NATOs proxy forces brought along with them not only small arms and cash from Libya, but also heavier weapons, including possibly chemical weapons and specifically sarin and mustard gas. Considering that the Syrian government knows the use of chemical weapons would basically hand the moral, strategic, and geopolitical initiative over to the West, and in light of its recent gains made using conventional weapons and tactics, it makes it all the more likely any real sarin to be found and used in Syria was the work of NATO proxies attempting to produce a plausible casus belli. Terrorists operating in Syria have already been caught using other chemical weapons. And yet still, despite all of this doubt, the Western political establishment has hailed the so-called findings as the game changer required to green-light US military intervention. Remember Curveball It is absolutely imperative to recall the propaganda campaign conducted prior to invading Iraq in 2003. Chemical weapons were also used as a pretext for an otherwise unjustified war. The intelligence used by Hagels predecessors was admittedly fabricated on-demand. In the British Independents article, Man whose WMD lies led to 100,000 deaths confesses all: Defector tells how US officials sexed up his fictions to make the case for 2003 invasion, it stated: A man whose lies helped to make the case for invading Iraq starting a nine-year war costing more than 100,000 lives and hundreds of billions of pounds will come clean in his first British television interview tomorrow. Curveball, the Iraqi defector who fabricated claims about Iraqs weapons of mass destruction, smiles as he confirms how he made the whole thing up. It was a confidence trick that changed the course of history, with Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabis lies used to justify the Iraq war. He tries to defend his actions: My main purpose was to topple the tyrant in Iraq because the longer this dictator remains in power, the more the Iraqi people will suffer from this regimes oppression. We can already envision the establishment defending in hindsight its next noble lie to unseat the tyrant in Syria. The Independent continues: But Mr Janabi, speaking in a two-part series, Modern Spies, starting tomorrow on BBC2, says none of it was true. When it is put to him we went to war in Iraq on a lie. And that lie was your lie, he simply replies: Yes. US officials sexed up Mr Janabis drawings of mobile biological weapons labs to make them more presentable, admits Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, General Powells former chief of staff. I brought the White House team in to do the graphics, he says, adding how intelligence was being worked to fit around the policy. How intelligence was being worked to fit around the policy, indeed is the most important aspect of the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq, and is without doubt what is being done in Washington, Doha, Riyadh, and Tel Aviv in regards to Syria now. The Curveball-style lies told about Iraq are now being repeated about Syria by an increasingly unhinged West who has tried every trick in the book, and is flipping back to the beginning to start over again. The question is, can the world afford to be led down this path again, knowing exactly where it ends? Nations and people outside the Wall Street-London international order are tasked with foiling this criminal war of aggression unable this time to plead ignorance to the Wests true intentions. Tony Cartaluccis articles have appeared on many alternative media websites, including his own at linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	Despite punching his opponent so hard and so often Monday that he killed him in the ring, boxer James Griffin is somehow not the sports current world champion. It would seem that killing a person while boxing would mean the pugilist has reached the absolute top of his profession, but according to federation rules, that isnt the case, said boxing analyst Gary Brito, adding that if the goal of boxing is to punch someone so that he cant get up during a 10-count, punching someone to a point where he is physically incapable of ever getting up again should warrant some sort of championship belt. There is something truly wrong with the sport when killing a man doesnt at least earn the victor some extra prize money. Griffin admitted to reporters he was disappointed the match did not make him world champion but said murdering a stranger with his hands in front of the mans family and thousands of cheering people was its own reward. 
3	40 Statistics About The Fall Of The U.S. Economy That Are Almost Too Crazy To BelieveMichael Snyder 30 years ago, the U.S. national debt was about one trillion dollars. Today, it is almost 17 trillion dollars. 40 years ago, the total amount of debt in the United States was about 2 trillion dollars. Today, it is more than 56 trillion dollars. At the same time that we have been running up all of this debt, our economic infrastructure and our ability to produce wealth has been absolutely gutted. Since 2001, the United States has lost more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities and millions of good jobs have been shipped overseas. Our share of global GDP declined from 31.8 percent in 2001 to 21.6 percent in 2011. The percentage of Americans that are self-employed is at a record low, and the percentage of Americans that are dependent on the government is at a record high. The U.S. economy is a complete and total mess, and it is time that we faced the truth. The following are 40 statistics about the fall of the U.S. economy that are almost too crazy to believe #4 If you started paying off just the new debt that the U.S. has accumulated during the Obama administration at the rate of one dollar per second, it would take more than 184,000 years to pay it off. #5 The federal government is stealing more than 100 million dollars from our children and our grandchildren every single hour of every single day. #6 Back in 1970, the total amount of debt in the United States (government debt + business debt + consumer debt, etc.) was less than 2 trillion dollars. Today it is over 56 trillion dollars #8 The United States has fallen in the global economic competitiveness rankings compiled by the World Economic Forum for four years in a row. #9 According to The Economist, the United States was the best place in the world to be born into back in 1988. Today, the United States is only tied for 16th place. #10 Incredibly, more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities in the United States have been permanently shut down since 2001. #11 There are less Americans working in manufacturing today than there was in 1950 even though the population of the country has more than doubled since then. #12 According to the New York Times, there are now approximately 70,000 abandoned buildings in Detroit. #13 When NAFTA was pushed through Congress in 1993, the United States had a trade surplus with Mexico of 1.6 billion dollars. By 2010, we had a trade deficit with Mexico of 61.6 billion dollars. #14 Back in 1985, our trade deficit with China was approximately 6 million dollars (million with a little m) for the entire year. In 2012, our trade deficit with China was 315 billion dollars. That was the largest trade deficit that one nation has had with another nation in the history of the world. #15 Overall, the United States has run a trade deficit of more than 8 trillion dollars with the rest of the world since 1975. #16 According to the Economic Policy Institute, the United States is losing half a million jobs to China every single year. #17 Back in 1950, more than 80 percent of all men in the United States had jobs. Today, less than 65 percent of all men in the United States have jobs. #18 At this point, an astounding 53 percent of all American workers make less than $30,000 a year. #19 Small business is rapidly dying in America. At this point, only about 7 percent of all non-farm workers in the United States are self-employed. That is an all-time record low. #20 Back in 1983, the bottom 95 percent of all income earners in the United States had 62 cents of debt for every dollar that they earned. By 2007, that figure had soared to $1.48. #21 In the United States today, the wealthiest one percent of all Americans have a greater net worth than the bottom 90 percent combined. #22 According to Forbes, the 400 wealthiest Americans have more wealth than the bottom 150 million Americans combined. #23 The six heirs of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton have as much wealth as the bottom one-third of all Americans combined. #24 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 146 million Americans are either poor or low income. #25 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 49 percent of all Americans live in a home that receives direct monetary benefits from the federal government. Back in 1983, less than a third of all Americans lived in a home that received direct monetary benefits from the federal government. #26 Overall, the federal government runs nearly 80 different means-tested welfare programs, and at this pointmore than 100 million Americans are enrolled in at least one of them. #27 Back in 1965, only one out of every 50 Americans was on Medicaid. Today, one out of every 6 Americans is on Medicaid, and things are about to get a whole lot worse. It is being projected that Obamacare will add 16 million more Americans to the Medicaid rolls. #28 As I wrote recently, 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. #29 At this point, Medicare is facing unfunded liabilities of more than 38 trillion dollars over the next 75 years. That comes to approximately $328,404 for every single household in the United States. #30 Right now, there are approximately 56 million Americans collecting Social Security benefits. By 2035, that number is projected to soar to an astounding 91 million. #31 Overall, the Social Security system is facing a 134 trillion dollar shortfall over the next 75 years. #32 Today, the number of Americans on Social Security Disability now exceeds the entire population of Greece, and the number of Americans on food stamps now exceeds the entire population of Spain. #33 According to a report recently issued by the Pew Research Center, on average Americans over the age of 65 have 47 times as much wealth as Americans under the age of 35. #34 U.S. families that have a head of household that is under the age of 30 have a poverty rate of 37 percent. #35 As I mentioned recently, the homeownership rate in America is now at its lowest level in nearly 18 years. #36 There are now 20.2 million Americans that spend more than half of their incomes on housing. That represents a 46 percent increase from 2001. #37 45 percent of all children are living in poverty in Miami, more than 50 percent of all children are living in poverty in Cleveland, and about 60 percent of all children are living in poverty in Detroit. #38 Today, more than a million public school students in the United States are homeless. This is the first time that has ever happened in our history. #39 When Barack Obama first entered the White House, about 32 million Americans were on food stamps. Now, more than 47 million Americans are on food stamps. #40 According to one calculation, the number of Americans on food stamps now exceeds the combined populations of Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

3	Deutsche Bank Settles Lawsuit for Price Rigging, Turns States Evidence on Other BanksBy Clint Stiegner Deutsche Bank didnt need more bad news, but a group of investors who brought suit against the massive German bank for cheating them by rigging the London fix price for gold and silver certainly must be smiling. Last week, the bank offered to settle their class action suit for an undisclosed amount. Perhaps more importantly, DB promises to provide evidence to help the plaintiffs in their suit against the other banks who participated in manipulating the fix: Bank of Nova Scotia, Barclays, HSBC and SocGen. In a letter to U.S. District Court Judge Valerie Caproni, the plaintiffs attorney said, In addition to valuable monetary consideration, Deutsche Bank has also agreed to provide cooperation to the Plaintiffs, including the production of instant messages and other electronic communications, as part of the settlement. If the information DB provides is incriminating, as the plaintiffs expect, it wont be the only recent example of bankers getting caught talking smugly amongst themselves about swindling investors and clients. A year ago Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Barclays, and RBS pled guilty to criminally rigging the foreign exchange markets following the leak of some embarrassing communiques. That case rested, in large part, on logs from an exclusive chat group participants dubbed The Cartel. Here is a good example of the type of conversations contained in those logs. The banker representing Barclays mentors another member: whats the worst price I can put on this where the customers decision to trade with me or give me future business doesnt changeif you aint cheating, you aint trying. It is not only typical of the kind of thing members discussed. It also pretty well sums up bankers attitudes toward the public and their clientele generally. Authorities, including the CFTC, might find a basis for criminal charges in material that DB provides. It would be nice to see bankers going to jail. The scale of fraud and theft makes Bernie Madoff look like a piker. But dont hold your breath. It was the corporations that pled guilty to criminal charges in the Foreign Exchange scandal a year ago, not individuals. The people involved seem to have immunity. There have been exactly zero perp walks by high ranking executives at any of the major banks over the past decade. This despite overwhelming evidence of pervasive fraud in mortgage underwriting, derivatives, commodities trading, and currency markets. Instead, taxpayers pay for the bailouts and company shareholders get to pay the fines or settlements, which are often substantially smaller than the ill-gotten gains. None of the criminal bankers responsible end up in prison. At least last weeks news is a signal that civil courts may provide some recourse for crowds of people who have been cheated. Since the news, Canadian investors filed two additional class-action suits seeking $1 billion in damages. More suits are likely on the way. While regulators may be captured by these mega banks, its harder to control mobs of angry investors in civil court. Clint Siegner is a Director at Money Metals Exchange, the national precious metals company named 2015 Dealer of the Year in the United States by an independent global ratings group. A graduate of Linfield College in Oregon, Siegner puts his experience in business management along with his passion for personal liberty, limited government, and honest money into the development of Money Metals brand and reach. This includes writing extensively on the bullion markets and their intersection with policy and world affairs. Why dont criminal bankers ever go to prison? Just corporate fines, which are going to be treated like business expenses. Outrageous! Where do I get my money from this tort? 
3	Libya 2.0? US Says No-Fly Zone Over Syria A PossibilityBrandon Turbeville The statements, made by both Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and General Martin E. Dempsey, are supposed to hinge upon an agreement with Turkey, that is itself calling for a buffer zone, one of the wishes of NATO since the very beginning of the Syrian crisis. According to the New York Times, Hagel stated that Weve discussed all these possibilities and will continue to talk about what the Turks believe they will require. Dempsey added that a buffer zone might at some point become a possibility although he also stated that it should not be considered imminent. A buffer zone and/or a no-fly zone, of course, is tantamount to war and an open military assault against the sovereign secular government of Syria since the implementation of such a zone would require airstrikes against Assads air defense systems. Turkey is now whining and groaning over an influx of Syrian refugees as a result of a humanitarian crisis that it helped create with its support and facilitation of Islamic fundamentalist death squad forces funded by the West and allowed to travel into Syria through Turkeys borders. The most recent influx of refugees came from the city of Kobani, where ISIS fighters were herded by American airstrikes for the purposes of reinforcing the fighters already battling Kurdish and Syrian forces there. Keep in mind that with the terrorists evacuating Deir al-Zor, cities and towns such as Kobani (Ayn El Arab) have seen a dramatic rise in the presence of IS fighters. In short, IS may have reduced the amount of fighters in Deir al-Zor but it reinforced its positions at Ayn El Arab, a smaller town but one located on the Turkish border. Significantly, the Turkish border has facilitated tens of thousands of death squad fighters in their access to Syria over the last four years making it a main artery for the influx of Western-backed foreign jihadis into Syria. The Huffington Post reported the situation in Ayn El Arab by recording the statement of a Syrian Kurd who had fled into Turkey with his family to escape IS. The report is revealing as to how the situation in Ayn El Arab disintegrated after the bombing of Deir al-Zor and the escape of terrorists from that city and region. The article reads, Because of the bombing in Raqqa, Islamic State has taken all of their weapons and brought them here. There are more and more Islamic State fighters in the last two days, they have brought all their forces here, said Ahmed Hassan, 60, a Syrian Kurd who fled to Turkey with his family. They have heavy weapons. We are running away from them. YPG havent got heavy weapons. Thats why we need help, he said, referring to the main Kurdish armed group. Thus, the new assault on Ayn El Arab might very well be an attempt to re-secure and reopen the Turkish/Syrian border so as to allow even greater numbers of IS fighters and military equipment to flood into Syria. In order for NATO forces to effectively remove Assad, who has proven a major hurdle for the Anglo-American establishment in its efforts to overthrow him and further their geopolitical goals of weakening Russias strategic position and influence, NATO forces absolutely must eliminate his air defenses. However, even the United States has admitted that doing so is risky business. For that reason, the West used its ISIS proxy forces to destroy the Taqba air base in eastern Syria so as to open up half of the country to US military assault. For those who may not see the pattern while the United States and NATO deliberated engaging in targeted airstrikes in Syria and the Syrian government subsequently states its opposition to those attacks and its intentions to shoot down the planes delivering those strikes if they did not coordinate with the Syrian government, death squad have effectively eliminated the air defense capability of the Syrian government in the east of the country. After all, the Pentagon even stated that one of the biggest threats to an airstrike operation in Syria is the Syrian governments air defenses. Thanks to ISIS, those air defenses no longer exist in the east of Syria. This was the end game of the ISIS battle to take over Taqba from the start eliminate air defenses so that the NATO powers can launch airstrikes against the Syrian military and thus freeing up a launching pad for the terrorists to conduct attacks even deeper into Syria. Even the airstrikes taking place currently under the guise of eliminating ISIS have a much darker motive. Although it is true that ISIS/ moderate death squads had seized control over the oil refineries in Eastern Syria and were using them for their own strategic purposes (with the help of NATO command), it is also true that, in a large portion of these areas, the SAA (Syrian Arab Army) was poised to retake control. This is particularly the case in Dayr el Zor, where the SAA had recently launched a major offensive against the death squads causing ISIS fighters trapped by aerial bombardment and escape routes cut off by the SAA. In other words, the death squads were trapped in Dayr el Zor, the city was weeks away from being liberated, and the surrounding areas were set to be reconquered by the SAA. This, of course, would have led directly to the retaking of the oil refineries by the Syrian government. Unfortunately, that opportunity has now been lost as a result of the U.S. airstrikes which destroyed the refinery infrastructure. It should also be remembered that most of the death squads fled these areas after being given forewarning of a series of imminent American airstrikes, thus causing the civilian casualties to be higher in number than those of the ISIS fighters the strikes were allegedly targeting. Indeed, many of these fighters have appeared in Northern Syria on the Syria/Turkey border reinforcing other death squad battalions in efforts to reopen supply lines from Turkey. Similar situations are found in the other locations mentioned as targets of U.S. airstrikes such as al-Hasakah where the SAA had made significant gains alongside Kurdish forces. Thus, as SAA forces moved in to retake control of the oil refineries managed by terrorists funded by Western powers, the United States initiated airstrikes just in the nick of time to deprive SAA forces of the opportunity to seize some of the oil refinery infrastructure it desperately needs. It is also important to note that virtually none of the infrastructure being destroyed by the United States airstrikes was built by ISIS. It was built by the Syrian government. The reality of the bombing campaign is that the United States and its allies are destroying important regions of Syria and leaving nothing of real value for the Syrian military to retake after its long-fought battles against ISIS. Thus, headlines across the world should more accurately read US Bombs Syrian Oil Refineries To Prevent Assad From Retaking Them. Still, one should keep in mind that it is not only the oil refineries which are being targeted but whole neighborhoods filled with civilians. One such neighborhood was the town of Kfar Daryan. It also goes some distance in aiding the future creation of a buffer zone, in Northern Syria, a wish of NATO since the beginning of the Syrian crisis.With the establishment of this buffer zone, a new staging ground will be opened that allows terrorists such as ISIS and others the ability to conduct attacks even deeper inside Syria. Working together with its NATO/GCC allies as well as the ever-present provocateur Israel, the United States is helping to create a buffer zone in the North and East of Syria while continuing to facilitate the opening of a third front on the Syrian border with Israel. Such a strategy was discussed in 2012 by the Brookings Institution in its publication Assessing Options For Regime Change, where it stated An alternative is for diplomatic efforts to focus first on how to end the violence and how to gain humanitarian access, as is being done under Annans leadership. This may lead to the creation of safe-havens and humanitarian corridors, which would have to be backed by limited military power. This would, of course, fall short of U.S. goals for Syria and could preserve Asad in power. From that starting point, however, it is possible that a broad coalition with the appropriate international mandate could add further coercive action to its efforts. [] In addition, Israels intelligence services have a strong knowledge of Syria, as well as assets within the Syrian regime that could be used to subvert the regimes power base and press for Asads removal. Israel could posture forces on or near the Golan Heights and, in so doing, might divert regime forces from suppressing the opposition. This posture may conjure fears in the Asad regime of a multi-front war, particularly if Turkey is willing to do the same on its border and if the Syrian opposition is being fed a steady diet of arms and training. Such a mobilization could perhaps persuade Syrias military leadership to oust Asad in order to preserve itself. Advocates argue this additional pressure could tip the balance against Asad inside Syria, if other forces were aligned properly. At the end of the day, it is important to remember that the U.S. airstrikes and its attempts to create a buffer zone inside 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. For those of us who have tried to warn of and prevent a direct military intervention in Syria, we must now continue to keep the Syrian people in our thoughts and prayers. But we must also keep the United States in those thoughts and prayers. Like in Libya, for what is being done in our name, we are earning some terrible karmic consequences. The United States has sown some very bitter seeds in recent years. Unfortunately, there will be a day when we all are forced to reap the bitter harvest.

2	BREAKING: Ebola Has Now Gone Airborne The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recently announce that Texas nurse Nina Pham, who contracted Ebola when treating patient Thomas Eric Duncan, was in fact wearing protective gear and following protocol. Some suspect that this indicates a mutation of the virus that has caused it to become airborne, given that an exchange of bodily fluids would have been protected by proper protective gear. While working with Duncan at the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, Pham wore a gown, gloves, mask, and shield. Although scientists have warned of the possibility of Ebola going airborne, others have been doubtful. Still, health workers have been unsuccessful in containing the spread of the virus. In fact, more than 4,000 infected individuals have died from the virus in West Africa. We knew a second case could be a reality, and weve been preparing for this possibility, claimed Dr. David Lakey, commissioner of the Texas Department of State Health Services. We are broadening our team in Dallas and working with extreme diligence to prevent further spread. According to recent reports, the hospital will be monitoring 50 individuals who had contact with Duncan after he began exhibiting symptoms. However, some worry that Duncan was infected before he traveled to the United States from Liberia, and that he made the trip in an effort to receive treatment. That would be that anyone who had contact with him from the moment he entered the airport would also be exposed. The incubation period for this deadly disease is between two and three weeks, meaning that if Duncan did in fact travel while infected, we could see an outbreak of individuals in the next few days. 
1	An international peace-crimes tribunal commenced legal proceedings against former U.S. President Jimmy Carter for alleged crimes against inhumanity Monday. 'Jimmy Carter's political career includes a laundry list of anti-war-making offenses,' said chief prosecutor Charles B. Simmons. 'Carter's record of benevolence, diplomacy, and respect for human life is unrivaled in recent geopolitical history. For millions, the very sight of his face evokes memories of his administration's reign of tolerance.' Carter awaits trial for acts of peace committed between 1976 and the present. The former president, whom Simmons described as 'relentless in his naked pursuit of everlasting global peace,' has been sought by peace-crimes officers in the international war-making community for decades. Police apprehended Carter on July 25 in South Florida, where he was building low-income housing as a part of a Habitat For Humanity project. Shortly thereafter, he was extradited to Geneva, where he will be prosecuted for 'grossly humane acts against all nations.' Yale University political-science professor Janet Hargrove said the evidence against Carter is overwhelming. 'Carter's defense team will have a difficult task defending him against these peacemaking accusations,' Hargrove said. 'Carter's signature is right there on the Camp David accords between Egypt and Israel. His decision to return control of the Panama Canal to Panama continues to impede U.S. military intervention in the region even today, and his influence on the SALT II treaty is a matter of public record. He may have been in part responsible for the temporary nuclear dtente between the U.S. and the Soviets.' While much of his peacemaking took place during his term of office, the years following Carter's presidency have included peace-mongering missions in Ethiopia, Sudan, North Korea, and the former Yugoslavia. An unearthed 1978 photo shows a peace-mongering Carter with Menachem Begin and Anwar al-Sadat. 'Carter is one of the worst enemies the forces of destruction have known since Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his non-violent rampages of the '50s and '60s,' Simmons said. 'Even today, in his capacity as an ex-president, [Carter] continues his pursuit of non-aggression. He must be stopped now, before another terrible war is avoided and more lives are saved.' Prosecutors have linked Carter to a number of international humanitarian organizations, including Red Cross and Amnesty International, both of which fund compassionate, non-military efforts around the globe. 'The former president has even been linked to an organization within Sweden known for promoting the peace agenda by remaining on the outside of the international political process,' Hargrove said. 'A medal commemorating a so-called 'Nobel Peace Prize' was seized from Carter's Georgia estate and will be used as evidence against him.' Vince Halloway, an expert in international law with the Brookings Institution, expects Carter's defenders to attempt to establish him as a propagator of internatinal conflict by citing his mishandling of the Iran hostage crisis, his boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics, and his time served on a Navy nuclear submarine. Halloway, however, said he considers this defense 'thin.' 'Prosecutors will have no difficulty establishing Carter's willful intent to pursue and maintain the aim of peaceful intervention in international affairs when they cite his formation of The Carter Center, an organization whose three publicly stated aims are 'Fighting Disease,' 'Building Hope,' and 'Waging Peace,'' Halloway said. 'Carter will be forced to answer for his reign of tranquility before the entire world community.' If found guilty, Carter could face permanent exile in a nonviolent nation such as Norway. On behalf of the Bush administration, Vice-President Dick Cheney expressed regret over Carter's alleged crimes. 'We are all aware of the missteps that occurred during the placid days of the Carter administration,' Cheney said. 'It was simply a matter of bringing the justice to light. Thankfully, the process has begun, and this chapter in our nation's history is finally being brought to a close.' 
3	Worlds Billionaires Are Stockpiling Cash: Taking Money Off the TableBy Mac Slavo And with enormous fortunes being made and destroyed overnight. The worlds billionaires have shifted into stockpiling an average of 22% of their income in cash because they are terrified the economy could crash. Many of these people literally helped to build the system we all now rely upon, and now they are holding cash, gold and other assets our of fear that stocks will crash and digital instruments of wealth could be undermined, compromised or have their balance destroyed. via CNBC: The worlds billionaires are holding more than $1.7 trillion in cash the highest amount since one firm began recording the measure in 2010. Because of what they perceive to be growing risks in the economy and world, the worlds 2,473 billionaires are keeping 22.2 percent of their total net worth in cash, according to the Wealth-X Billionaire Census. Billionaires are taking money off the table where available, while uncertainties in the economy and the historical highs found in deals have resulted in cash-flush portfolios, the report said. The firms findings are in line with those from other recent surveys. A study released by UBS last month said wealthy Americans are keeping around 20 percent of their portfolios in cash, in line with their post-2008 average. More are considering reducing their exposure to the markets because of uncertainty over the presidential election, UBS said. And it isnt just cash. With the gold price still off its 2011 highs, precious metals have become an extremely attractive option as well. George Soros reportedly converted 37% of his stocks into gold a huge amount of gold just weeks before the Brexit sent the price of the British pound into freefall. The big boys are opting out of the very system we have grown comfortable with. What do they know that we dont? And what happens when that reality hits? Nothing will work, and your ATM will look like this, or offer severe cash restrictions: Read more: Click here to subscribe: Join over one million monthly readers and receive breaking news, strategies, ideas and commentary. You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com I call B.S. on this article on prima facie evidence it cannot happen the way it is written. The worlds billionaires have shifted into stockpiling an average of 22% of their income in cash because they are terrified the economy could crash. 22% of one billion is 220 million. Seriously they are keeping 220 million in CASH on HAND? (and that is for just ONE billionaire) Absurd. Billionaires also know that hording fiat cash is a stupid thing to do since it has no real value once a central bank declares a new currency or a new system. These billionaires are hording tangible valuable goods. A major financial crisis would devalue cash so, as you say, these super-rich will stock up on vital goods which will rocket in price during a depression. 
2	Government MicroIf you have children or plan on having children, you might want to sit down before reading this article. According to recent reports, mother of three Steffany Rodroguez-Neely lost her child in a store and said it is every parents nightmare when you cant find your child. That seemed like a reasonable assertion, until micro-chipping came into the equation. If itll save my kid, theres no stuff thats too extreme, Rodroguez-Neely told reporters. Micro-chipping would be an extra layer of protection, if something bad does happen. Not everyone embraces the idea of micro-chipping children, however. Kerri Levey of Tampa Bay Moms Group had a very different point of view on the matter. Youre putting a battery in your kid, youre putting a chip in your kid. And, where does it stop? Levey asked. Where? Its going too far. This is a child were talking about. If a small chip the size of a grain of rice could have prevented a tragedy, I think most parents would have said, I think I would have done it, Rodroguez-Neely responded. Electronics expert Stuart Lipoff insists that micro-chipping children is both safe and inevitable. People should be aware that testing is being done right now, Lipoff commented. The military is not only testing this out, but already utilizes its properties. Its not a matter of it will happen, but when. When barcodes first came out in the later 1960s, people were appalled. They were wary of them and did not understand the concept. Today, it is so commonplace, we dont even notice it. A microchip would work much in the same way. What do you think of this? Is this seriously crossing a line? Would you micro-chip your children? 
3	The Toxic Placebo Effect of VaccinesBrandon Turbeville Implicit in the propaganda is the belief that flu vaccines prevent the contraction of the virus and that, if one submits to vaccination, you will subsequently be immune to the flu. However, as I have demonstrated in my article, The Antibody Deception, there is no evidence to support the claim that vaccines are even effective, since immunization is measured by titer testing, an imprecise and inaccurate method of measuring immunity. In addition, in the article The Influenza Deception, I demonstrate how the levels of prevalence of the influenza virus repeated ad nauseum to the American public are nothing more than propaganda. Even more so, the flu is not only much more rare than we are lead to believe but it is also much less deadly. Still, the medical and pharmaceutical industries insist upon the effectiveness of vaccinations regardless of whether or not the flu itself is a major threat and despite the fact that there is no accurate way to measure immunity and vaccine success. These industries push flu vaccination as if they have undeniable proof that the toxic injections actually work. However, when taking a closer look at flu vaccines, the evidence justifying their use appears even weaker than one may have previously thought. Although the vaccine industry tends to avoid all opportunities to test the actual effectiveness of vaccines, particularly when it involves comparing vaccinated people against unvaccinated people, a thorough analysis of the available research has indeed been conducted regarding the flu shot. This analysis was conducted by the Cochrane Collaboration, an independent research organization, in two separate studies published in 2007 and 2010. The project included 50 studies, forty of which involved the study of over 70,000 people. Eight were comparative non-RCTs and assessed serious harms. Two were reports of harms which could not be introduced in the data analysis. The results of the Cochrane Collaborations analysis are those which the vaccine industry would never want to see the light of day. The Cochrane Collaborations findings were multifaceted. First, in the extremely rare case of perfect matching between the viral component of the flu vaccine and the flu virus circulating in the population, the vaccine only had a 2-5% success rate. In the typical scenario in which there was imperfect matching between the virus contained in the vaccine and the one circulating in the population, the vaccine success rate was even lower, about 1-2%. The Cochrane Collaboration results stated that the flu vaccine had only a modest effect on time off from work and had NO effect on hospital admissions or complication rates. Although the Cochrane Collaboration stated that the evidence base was limited to assess harms, the research did demonstrate local harms and the presence of the risk for Guillain-Barre Syndrome. In the end, the Cochrane Collaborations overall conclusions were that Influenza vaccines have a modest effect in reducing influenza symptoms and working days lost. There is no evidence that they affect complications, such as pneumonia, or transmission. Still, the Cochrane Collaboration added a Warning section to the published article stating that, in light of a previous study conducted by the organization, the positive aspects of the flu vaccine should essentially be taken with a grain of salt. This is because the previous study found a clear bias toward studies funded by the vaccine industry and research that presents favorable results as opposed to independent research or that which demonstrates negligible or negative aspects of the vaccine. The previous study mentioned by the Cochrane Collaboration was indeed a 2008 published study written and conducted by the organization for the purposes of exploring the relation between study concordance, take home message, funding, and dissemination of comparative studies assessing the effects of influenza vaccines. The study, entitled Relation of study quality, concordance, take home message, funding, and impact in studies of influenza vaccines: systematic review, was even more comprehensive than the more recent study mentioned above. The 2008 project actually identified 259 primary studies and 274 datasets and analyzed them for the purposes of determining influenza vaccine effectiveness. Notice that the authors of the study state that higher quality studies were less likely to favor vaccine effectiveness. Likewise for government-funded studies. However, it was found that industry-funded studies were more likely to demonstrate vaccine effectiveness as well as be published in a medical journal. Thus, the conclusions of the scientists who took part in the performance of the review and the publication of the study were that Publication in prestigious journals is associated with partial or total industry funding, and this association is not explained by study quality or size. The Cochrane scientists also add, at the end of the study, a section entitled What is already known on this topic, where they state Study sponsorship is associated with optimistic results and that Influenza vaccination continues to be recommended globally, despite growing doubts about the validity of the scientific evidence underpinning policy recommendations. In addition, in the section entitled What this study adds, the authors state that Evidence is of poor quality, and studies with conclusions in favour of vaccines are of significantly lower methodological quality as well as that Influenza vaccines studies sponsored by industry are published in journals with higher impact factors and are cited more but are of similar size and quality to the others. Further backing up the conclusions of the Cochrane Collaborations work, Dr. Tom Jefferson, one of the leading scientists involved in the analysis, later stated that: Of course, the nature of the experiments conducted on flu vaccines as well as vaccines in general is also highly questionable. For instance, the very act of comparing a vaccinated person to an unvaccinated one is often compromised in the experiment itself due to the lack of a true placebo. Although placebo-based experiments are quite rare in and of themselves, the fact is that, in many vaccine trials, the placebo is actually a vaccine or a substance containing the same ingredients as the vaccine. This means that the evaluation of the dangers of the vaccine are very difficult to determine since all of the participants received a vaccine, thus making the control group as much at risk as the test groups. As Dr. Russell Blaylock has stated, These studies, of course, are only the ones that have disclosed what was used as a placebo in the first place. The overwhelming majority of studies simply do not reveal whether the placebo was a truly innocuous substance, a vaccine, or something else entirely. In a study entitled, Whats In Placebos: Who Knows? Analysis of Randomized, Controlled Trials, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine in 2010, a group of researchers set out to To assess how often investigators specify the composition of placebos in randomized, placebo-controlled trials. The researchers examined 176 trials which had been published in reputable medical journals in order to determine whether or not the disclosure of the placebo was a common practice since, currently, there are no regulations in this regard. The researchers found that Most studies did not disclose the composition of the study placebo and that Disclosure was less common for pills than for injections and other treatments. For trials involving injections, placebos were disclosed approximately 26% of the time while, in trials involving pills, the placebo was disclosed only 8% of the time. Taking this information into consideration, it is advisable for anyone, when researching the effectiveness of vaccination, to exercise a sizeable amount of caution even when examining the official scientific literature. Clearly, the studies that have been presented as undeniable proof that vaccines can prevent disease have themselves been heavily skewed in favor of the vaccine industry and the medical establishment that wishes to continue pushing them. In combination with the fact that antibody science is not exact and may, in fact, mean nothing in terms of immunity, as well as the fact that many diseases are themselves more hype than harm, it is also advisable to stay as far away from the vaccine needle as possible.

3	Clinton Emails Reveal Plan To Destroy Syria, Target Iran, Threaten Assads FamilyBy Brandon Turbeville The Hillary Clinton emails have recently been released by virtue of Clintons use of a private email server, WikiLeaks, and the Freedom of Information Act and they stand as potentially one of the most damning sets of emails ever exposed to the light of day. With 30,322 emails having been written or received by Clinton and the fact that Clinton herself has been so heavily involved in untold amounts of treachery during her tenure as Secretary of State alone, the emails are a veritable treasure trove of both incriminating information for Clinton and vindicating information for those who have been critical of her in the past. One email alone regarding the Syrian crisis demonstrates the veracity of what many who have been labeled conspiracy theorists have claimed for years namely, that the United States has organized, directed, and supported the destabilization of Syria for its own geopolitical goals as well as those of Israel.[1] It also confirms the methodology and geopolitical goals behind the destabilization as well as cynical and brazen attempts by the Clinton State Department and Obama White House to go so far as to put Assads family in danger in order to intimidate him into abandoning his post. The email reveals how the United States was determined to destroy Syria both for its own geopolitical purposes but also in order to cripple Iran and Hezbollah, both for the United States and Israels benefit, with the essential encirclement and weakening of the Iranian position being one of the goals. Whomever authored the textis clearly in favor of a direct U.S. military assault on Syria and all of these objectives, according to the emails, were worth risking a military confrontation with Russia. For instance, in regards to the question of the possibility of Israel launching a pre-emptive attack on Iran, the email, as posted by WikiLeaks, read: The best way to help Israel deal with Irans growing nuclear capability is to help the people of Syria overthrow the regime of Bashar Assad. Negotiations to limit Irans nuclear program will not solve Israels security dilemma. Nor will they stop Iran from improving the crucial part of any nuclear weapons program the capability to enrich uranium. At best, the talks between the worlds major powers and Iran that began in Istanbul this April and will continue in Baghdad in May will enable Israel to postpone by a few months a decision whether to launch an attack on Iran that could provoke a major Mideast war. The emailcontinues by explaining the real reason Israel would like to see the Iranians weakened, albeit still propagating the lie that there was ever any evidence to suggest that the Iranians were actually moving toward a nuclear weapon to begin with. Still, itmanages to blow the lid on the biggest open secret in the Middle East the fact that Israel is indeed armed with nuclear weapons. The email reads, Irans nuclear program and Syrias civil war may seem unconnected, but they are. For Israeli leaders, the real threat from a nuclear-armed Iran is not the prospect of an insane Iranian leader launching an unprovoked Iranian nuclear attack on Israel that would lead to the annihilation of both countries. What Israeli military leaders really worry about but cannot talk about is losing their nuclear monopoly. An Iranian nuclear weapons capability would not only end that nuclear monopoly but could also prompt other adversaries, like Saudi Arabia and Egypt, to go nuclear as well. The result would be a precarious nuclear balance in which Israel could not respond to provocations with conventional military strikes on Syria and Lebanon, as it can today. If Iran were to reach the threshold of a nuclear weapons state, Tehran would find it much easier to call on its allies in Syria and Hezbollah to strike Israel, knowing that its nuclear weapons would serve as a deterrent to Israel responding against Iran itself. Back to Syria. It is the strategic relationship between Iran and the regime of Bashar Assad in Syria that makes it possible for Iran to undermine Israels security not through a direct attack, which in the thirty years of hostility between Iran and Israel has never occurred, but through its proxies in Lebanon, like Hezbollah, that are sustained, armed and trained by Iran via Syria. The end of the Assad regime would end this dangerous alliance. Israels leadership understands well why defeating Assad is now in its interests. Of course, Israel might find itself in a much better situation across the Middle East if it did not consistently provoke its neighbors, threaten warfare, and destabilize the region. It might find its situation more stable if it did not constantly violate the borders of its neighbors. It might find its reputation better if it were not engaged in a systematic attempt to eradicate the people whose land Israeli settlers stole years ago and continue to steal today. The authoris somewhat honest in theirpresentation of the reasoning behind the attempt to destroy Assad, however, when he/shepoints to the fact that the destruction of Syria would result in the severance of the Shiite crescent and the arc of resistance to Anglo-American/Israeli imperialist and geopolitical agendas. The authorwrites, Speaking on CNNs Amanpour show last week, Defense Minister Ehud Barak argued that the toppling down of Assad will be a major blow to the radical axis, major blow to Iran. Its the only kind of outpost of the Iranian influence in the Arab worldand it will weaken dramatically both Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza. Bringing down Assad would not only be a massive boon to Israels security, it would also ease Israels understandable fear of losing its nuclear monopoly. Then, Israel and the United States might be able to develop a common view of when the Iranian program is so dangerous that military action could be warranted. Right now, it is the combination of Irans strategic alliance with Syria and the steady progress in Irans nuclear enrichment program that has led Israeli leaders to contemplate a surprise attack if necessary over the objections of Washington. With Assad gone, and Iran no longer able to threaten Israel through its, proxies, it is possible that the United States and Israel can agree on red lines for when Irans program has crossed an unacceptable threshold. In short, the White House can ease the tension that has developed with Israel over Iran by doing the right thing in Syria. The authorthen moves on to the question of ensuring that Assad is swayed by the fact that his family is threatened. The authorsays, The rebellion in Syria has now lasted more than a year. The opposition is not going away, nor is the regime going to accept a diplomatic solution from the outside. With his life and his family at risk, only the threat or use of force will change the Syrian dictator Bashar Assads mind. The author of the emailalso writes about how to literally turn the Syrian crisis into Libya 2.0. The authorstates, The Obama administration has been understandably wary of engaging in an air operation in Syria like the one conducted in Libya for three main reasons. Unlike the Libyan opposition forces, the Syrian rebels are not unified and do not hold territory. The Arab League has not called for outside military intervention as it did in Libya. And the Russians are opposed. Libya was an easier case. But other than the laudable purpose of saving Libyan civilians from likely attacks by Qaddafis regime, the Libyan operation had no long-lasting consequences for the region. Syria is harder. But success in Syria would be a transformative event for the Middle East. Not only would another ruthless dictator succumb to mass opposition on the streets, but the region would be changed for the better as Iran would no longer have a foothold in the Middle East from which to threaten Israel and undermine stability in the region. Unlike in Libya, a successful intervention in Syria would require substantial diplomatic and military leadership from the United States. Washington should start by expressing its willingness to work with regional allies like Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar to organize, train and arm Syrian rebel forces. The announcement of such a decision would, by itself, likely cause substantial defections from the Syrian military. Then, using territory in Turkey and possibly Jordan, U.S. diplomats and Pentagon officials can start strengthening the opposition. It will take time. But the rebellion is going to go on for a long time, with or without U.S. involvement. The authorthen turns her sights upon the potential war with Russia her foreign policy might cause as the email states, The second step is to develop international support for a coalition air operation. Russia will never support such a mission, so there is no point operating through the UN Security Council. Some argue that U.S. involvement risks a wider war with Russia. But the Kosovo example shows otherwise. In that case, Russia had genuine ethnic and political ties to the Serbs, which dont exist between Russia and Syria, and even then Russia did little more than complain. Russian officials have already acknowledged they wont stand in the way if intervention comes. Arming the Syrian rebels and using western air power to ground Syrian helicopters and airplanes is a low-cost high payoff approach. As long as Washingtons political leaders stay firm that no U.S. ground troops will be deployed, as they did in both Kosovo and Libya, the costs to the United States will be limited. Victory may not come quickly or easily, but it will come. And the payoff will be substantial. Iran would be strategically isolated, unable to exert its influence in the Middle East. The resulting regime in Syria will see the United States as a friend, not an enemy. Washington would gain substantial recognition as fighting for the people in the Arab world, not the corrupt regimes. For Israel, the rationale for a bolt from the blue attack on Irans nuclear facilities would be eased. And a new Syrian regime might well be open to early action on the frozen peace talks with Israel. Hezbollah in Lebanon would be cut off from its Iranian sponsor since Syria would no longer be a transit point for Iranian training, assistance and missiles. All these strategic benefits and the prospect of saving thousands of civilians from murder at the hands of the Assad regime (10,000 have already been killed in this first year of civil war). With the veil of fear lifted from the Syrian people, they seem determine to fight for their freedom. America can and should help them and by doing so help Israel and help reduce the risk of a wider war. Not only is it incredibly frightening to envision a Secretary of State, much less a President, who so indifferent to such a potentially catastrophic consequence of her actions. If the author of the email was indeed Clinton herself, it is quite telling since she clearly asserted that the Russians would simply not respond and would knuckle under when faced with the might of the United States. Regardless, how very wrong the authorwas. At worst, the email shows a an individualknowingly working toward the destruction of a secular reformist and sovereign government with the acknowledged result of mass civilian deaths for the benefit of geopolitical interests of both the United States and other nations with little concern for the fact that such military action could very well provoke a third world war scenario with a nuclear power. At best, the author of the email isunmatched in incompetence since he/shewas willing to provoke a war with Russia for theirown agenda, believing that Russia would not respond. If the author was Clinton, neither of these portrayals qualify her for anything other than a prolonged stay at a psychiatric hospital or prison. If the author was someone else, then Clintons circle of friends and advisers is as every bit eaten up with madness as Clinton herself.

Madame Clinton is a dangerous warmonger. Nowhere in her diatribes does she even mention the human cost of constant war in the Middle East. Libya was a complete and ongoing disaster and she wants to repeat that disaster over the whole Middle East. She speaks of not supporting the tyrants in the area yet she supports the worst of the worst being the Saudis, you know the purveyors of extremist, Wahhabist Islamic doctrine that desires constant jihad. She is not a person you would want running a major nation like the US. Such a terrible mistake would create a very real potential for WWIII. The information in this article should become fodder for the election campaign! Yeah, I noted where she said the Libyan operation had no long-lasting consequences for the region completely blanking out/lying about what Qaddafi was doing re the gold Dinar which would have freed African countries from the tyranny of the IMF, and his Underground River which was the greatest irrigation project ever implemented and that would have turned Libya into the food basket of Africa. in reference to the under ground river .the propaganda put forth during the days when ghadafi was being demonized during the 80/90/and early 2000 .the said it was his military that was being transported trucks tanks etc .to conceal his military from bombings .if that were true how come he didn t use it?/and the stupid american morons completely forgot that part.worst possible people on earth americans spoiled rotten and arrogantly stupid!1 The Dinar reason was in yet another email. I fear the future for my kids living in this imperialistic nightmare. I welcome advice on where to live off the grid away from this insanity. I feel you, friend. I have plans for similar things, however, it will be short lived im afraid. No one will escape these demons. The idea is to destroy your freedom, so dont think for a minute they will want you living in complete harmony off the grid. They will start making that prospect impossible once everyone else starts doing it. Very perilous times ahead This is the kind of diplomatic peacekeeping that I expect from my American Secretary of State. All those Secretaries of State were doing it all wrong before Hillary came along to show them how this office of diplomacy is supposed to be run. Hahahaha. so Hillary is YOUR Secretary of State? Congratulations. Shes all yours. Hillary Clinton is in the pocket of the salivating zionist lizards who control banking and created Israel, also control Great Britain and the United States Imperialist machine. She recently put on a real warmonger show for the AIPAC. She cant wait to spill blood. Yep, spilling blood is a part of their worship. They are not human. How could they be, really? It was hard for Russia to intervene in the Serb/Kosovo because the atrocities that occurred previously; as was hard to intervene in Libya given the Gahdaphis approach to geopolitics and Russias maritime defense. In plain English there was no interest invested for Russia save neither Milesovic nor Ghadaphi. Syria is different, specially after seeing Germany, US, France and the UK salivating with their achievements in the Balkans and North Africa, emboldening Turkey and Saudi Arabia with eyes in Russian Caucasus and oil/gas. Our future commander in chief miscalculate the Russians interest and patient and if a nuclear war has to be waged it is better for Putin to be prepared.While is insane what Hillary did as Secretary of State, I do not believe that she belongs to a mental institution. She belongs to prison for crimes against humanity, but if that is not possible, at least for her dam emails. to paraphrase Bernie Sanders. She wants to lead us into the WW III as loyal puppet of the British Empire and Wall Street. Conspiracy to annihilate humanity must be punished. Oops a daisy Pluto Zionists Support for Hillary Clinton Hillary Clinton And The Syrian Shoah HIllary is just a psychopath employed as a good shabbeth goyim to do the bidding of the Yinon plan. NWO = JWO. Zionist support of Clinton? Surely you jest! Only the radical left that hates Israel supports Clinton. This is a REAL ISSUE among others. yet Donald Duck has everybody yelling Immigration Immigration Immigration Immigration. pure idiocy the people that are rooting for it. She clearly believes shes doing the right thing. Thats the scariest thing of all. Shes got to be stopped. Clinton is fully aware that all military aid to Israel is illegal under the Symington Amendment. What a criminal this c*nt is. Pretty sure thats all top three on the Geneva Conventions list of No-Nos. Typical secretary of state thinking. What did you think they do in their ivory towers? Trump is saner than clinton. Im voting for trump if Bernie doesnt get the nomination. This. This isnt odd as far as Clinton is concerned. She is indeed a dangerous warmonger, and I find it perfectly consistent that she would target Assads family. You all remember how hillarious she found the vicious lynching of Gaddafi, but there is more: the fever of extermination of all his family, as NATOs bombers bombed houses and places where Gaddafis relatives were present. Aisha, his daughter, who managed to survive, lost her father, husband, child, siblings Most of Gaddafis sons were tracked down and murdered. Exterminating Gaddafis family was sort of an exciting sport, and few managed to escape. And as a result of all that, Libya has remained in ashes and ruins, and is in the hands of thugs. Hillary got her job done! Any person votes Clinton in will get what they deserve. The rest of us? Lock and Load! Iran will be the trigger for WW3 that will destroy America. Clinton supported the fall of Mubarak and the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood. Along with Libya, had she succeeded there as well as giving an open invitation in Syria of Iran and Hezbollah, Israel would be on fire right now. It is insane to suggest that Clinton did it for Israel Assad and Mubarak both kept the radical nuts in line. Clinton also bragged about brokering peace with Hamas while they were reigning thousands of rockets down on Israeli citizens. This article suggest that this is something Israel wanted. Far from it. Clinton is a danger not just to Israel, but to the entire world. It is not the article that suggests that, it is Clinton herself. It is very plainly written in her e-mail. Did she not get an ovation at the AIPAC speech? Anyways, the zionists are making great friends with the wahhabi saudis. They are both training and supplying arms to the terrorists in Syria, Israel is helping the Saudis bomb the Houtis in Yemen, there is even talk that the Panama Papers show evidence that the House of Saud bankrolled Netanahus election campaign. don t you just cringe when you see/hear these morons on msm s telling how great hillary would be as president!! their all horrible but she is the worst. Sounds like a middle east problem on the other side of the world to me PEACE has broken out in this country and it can stay that way too WE THE PEOPLE have NO INTEREST in the middle east CORPORATIONS DO,,let them hire their own army to protect THEIR PROPERTY and business interest over there and THEIR KIDS can die there too There is no money in peace for the rich all the money gets spent on everyday common people. Wars are a way of gathering up a countries riches in one location (mic) and then be divided by those who create the war while the ones who made the riches are sent off to die in the war These criminal interests did hire an army, namely the CIA and the hordes of terrorists mercenaries who are destroying Syria. The CIA is too happy to train and arm the terrorists with TOW missiles, after all the Saudis are paying for everything. Hillary is grateful for the $10million she got from the Saudis for selling them $billions in F-16s and bombs to murder Houti civilians in Yemen. The Saudis, Qataris, and Emirates are hiring mercenaries, form all over, to fight their wars of islamic extremism expansion in Yemen, Afghanistan, Somalia, Nigeria, Mali, Libya, Syria, Phillipines, etc.. They are even employing ex-soldiers from Colombia, Chile, Honduras, etc..for $2K per month while training plus bonuses for actual fighting in Yemen. They are probably hiring BlackWater and Israeli military for training their hired terrorists. 
2	2 Of The Trump Children Will Not Be Voting For Him... Heres Why According to recent reports, two of Donald Trumps children will not be voting for their father in the New York Republican primary this month. Apparently, they neglected to register for their fathers political party in time. Ivanka and Eric Trump, Trumps oldest children, failed to meet the October deadline to register to vote as Republicans for the New York Republican primary. While both have been vocal in their support of their father, only Donald Trump Jr. is registered and able to vote in the New York Republican primary, Yahoo News reports. This only adds to suspicions about the Trump familys political standing, given that both Ivanka and Eric have donated to democrats in the past. And they both have given significant amounts of money to Hillary Clintons 2008 presidential campaign and other leftist causes. Yahoo News was also unable to locate any voting records for Trumps 22-year-old daughter Tiffany. What do you think of these reports? Was this a simple slip up or is it indicative of something greater? 
3	Controlled Opposition The Hidden Hand of MisdirectionBy Zen Gardner This concept eludes public awareness to a scary degree. Its similar to the reality of false flag operations, the epitome of carefully planned societal manipulation by unseen forces who have no regard for the human condition other than to control it at any cost. This is so very similar to the slogan of the nefarious Mossad: By way of deception, thou shalt do war. And the war is on us; for the subjugation, exploitation and control of.us. The human race. Nothing is at it seems. Nothing. Not the least of which is anything and everything in our engineered society. Its all misdirection, controlled opposition for the mind. This game of ruthless deception is endemic to the fabric of the entire matrix. Useful Idiots and the Puppeteers The obvious NATO/US backed ISIL creation, the insurgences in Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela, as well as most of the Middle East and now Africa, Hong Kong and other nations, past and present, are perfect examples of controlled opposition on the political stage. As awful as that is, the problem is way deeper than that. Weve all been useful idiots at one time or other. No ones been fully conscious or completely independent of these influences all of their lives. We all have had to compromise in some manner just to survive in the matrix and unwittingly played into their hand. This entire social landscape is an engineered one, and we help build and maintain it at varying degrees of conscious awareness until we disengage. Some aspects become more obvious than others to different people. The banking system for example has been getting hammered by the awakening. The full extent of its control is known by very few, but people are getting the idea. And it leads to more questions. Thats how it works. Many people come to the awakening via the health crisis were facing, with contaminated and mutated foods being forced into the market without the slightest compunction from our ever-so-caring slightly disguised crypto fascist central State. Just going to natural food or natural or alternative medicine sites is another way to go into the Wardrobe and land in a Narnia of Truth people had no idea existed. For those looking to help others, this is a great way to approach someone still under the spell to get them started looking around. GMO awareness has jacked and is a great entry point. And just like the bankster revolving door with government, the Monsanto/Merck et al. infestation of so-called health agencies, this will make their heads spin if theyre willing to see it.

2	Bounty On The Mans Head Who Did This To An Innocent Puppy [SEE REWARD INFO] According to recent reports, the Charleston Animal Society in South Carolina has just offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person responsible for releasing a dog and taping its muzzle shut. CNN reported that the Staffordshire terrier mix appeared on Wednesday at the home of her owner with electrical tape around her muzzle, and her tongue stuck between her teeth. The neighborhood reports that they hadnt seen the dog since Memorial Day weekend. When she was found, she was taken to the Charleston Animal Society, who determined that the dog had been bound for between 36 and 48 hours. They have ruled that the dog is in critical condition, and may be permanently disfigured, or could lose her life. This is the most malicious case of animal abuse I have ever seen in my entire career, Aldwin Roman, Director of the centers Anti-Cruelty and Outreach Department told wrote on the companys Facebook page. The case is currently under investigation. If the person responsible is found, they will face five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. 
1	While calculating his budget Wednesday, Ben Hollis, a 30-year-old man, carefully factored in the birthday money hell receive next month as a way to offset a number of expenses, sources confirmed. I usually get $100 from my parents, and then theres a $25 check from Aunt Darlene, and another $25 from Aunt Lorrie, so thats groceries right there, said the full-grown adult, who then made a mental note to call his grandparents later that week to talk about his birthday plans so that theyll remember to send their customary $10 bills. If Uncle Howie sends something, I might only have to pay half of my phone bill. Then I can get the new Tomb Raider game. Hollis reportedly reassured himself that if the value of the anticipated gifts falls short of expectation, he can spend his own money on his gym membership, but hed prefer not to. 
2	Things Turn Ugly When Patriotic Citizens Do THIS To Refugees [CAUTION VIDEO CONTAINS DISTURBING IMAGES] The citizens of the Netherlands have made their stance very clear about the Syrian Refugees. This past week, a group of patriots left 14 pigs heads outside the refugee camp. The heads were stuck on top of gates, and five others littered the ground. Maybe the Dutch are onto something in dealing with this Syrian Refugee crisis. America needs to step up its game and demand that the refugees leave. One Dutch man said, If democracy fails, people become angry and desperate. America is getting to this point. Has Obama completely failed our country? Should he be deported along with the Syrian Refugees? 
2	Britain Launches Airstrikes At ISIS According to recent reports, British fighter jets have just participated in their first airstrikes in Syria, just hours after UK lawmakers voted in favor of bombing ISIS. This is not about whether we want to fight terrorism, David Cameron told reporters. Its about how best we do that. Four jets took off from the Akrotiri air base in Cyprus and were targeting an oil field in Eastern Syria, Britains Ministry of Defense (MOD) told CNN. RAF Tornadoes have just returned from their first offensive operation over Syria and have conducted strikes, a spokesman from the MOD confirmed on Thursday morning. More details are expected to flow in this week. The decision to attack ISIS came after France asked the U.S.-led coalition to bump up the military offensive against ISIS. Now, Britain has decided to expand airstrikes that it was previously only conducting in Iraq. This is the right thing to do to keep Britain safe, to deal with this evil organization and as part of a process to bring peace and stability to Syria, Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond told CNN. Following their decision to join in the fight, Germany has received increasing pressure to join in the military commitment against the terror group. If launched, the German plan would activate 1,200 troops in anti-ISIS efforts, but have confirmed that this would only be a support role. What do you think? Do you support Britain and Germany taking action? 
1	Reminiscing Monday, God wondered aloud what happened to 'that one planet I made, like, four and a half billion years ago, the one with all the monkeys.' 'Man, I haven't thought about that planet in forever,' God said. 'I have no idea why it suddenly popped into My head. I remember it was really crude, one of My weaker early efforts, back when I was experimenting with the oxygen atmospheres and those ridiculous carbon-based lifeforms. And I was on that whole upper-primate kick. Huh.' God said He couldn't remember the planet's name but was pretty sure it was 'something like Ursh or Orth or maybe Ert.' 
1	The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services released a 275-page report Monday blaming the increasing failure rate of American marriages on Clearwater, FL, 11-year-old Tommy Breyer. Divorce Chart According to the study, in addition to being the cause of his own parents' 1995 divorce, Breyer is also to blame for the breakup of more than 1.2 million couples each year. 'Because Tommy was not loving enough, or perhaps because he was not good enough,' the report stated, 'American marriages are now failing at an unprecedented rate.' The DHHS study concluded that the cost of feeding, clothing and housing Breyer had almost certainly put excessive stress on American domestic tranquility, as did his habits of leaving his toys all over the living-room floor, whining when told to go to bed, and whistling while U.S. fathers were trying to watch their favorite fishing show. The report said that such stress could have been avoided had Breyer tried harder to be good and not bothered American parents so much. 'Instead of helping, Tommy Breyer has only added to the problems of married people,' said Duane Wollensky, director of the National Center For Health Statistics and chair of the DHHS study. 'More than money, sex or religion, Tommy Breyer has been the primary sticking point in American marriages.' Wollensky noted that, in addition to the millions of couples who have divorced because of Breyer, millions more are unhappily married but staying together for the sake of the child. 'Maybe in six or seven years, when Tommy goes off to college, these couples will feel like they can leave each other and finally find real happiness,' he said. 'But until that day, he is making a lot of people very, very unhappy.' When informed of the study's results, Breyer threw himself onto his bed and cried. Married couples are not surprised by the study's findings. 'Everything was fine in our marriage until Tommy came along,' said Carole Scheib of Medford, MA, whose divorce will be finalized next week. 'But instead of enriching our lives, his constant whining and never-ending need for attention drove a wedge between Bob and me.' When Breyer's mother became pregnant with him in May 1985, leading family advocates were hopeful that the child would help stem the rising tide of divorce in the U.S. However, Census Bureau statistics indicate that precisely the opposite has occurred: Since Breyer's birth in February 1986, over 10 million couples have ended their marriages, and the divorce rate has risen by 23 percent. 'Statistically speaking,' U.S. Census Bureau director Martha Farnsworth Riche said, 'it's unfortunate Tommy was ever born.' Meredith Ptacek, director of the D.C.-based Center For The American Family, agreed. 'Normally, in cases of divorce, we tell children, 'It's not your fault,'' she said. 'Well, in this case, I must tell Tommy that it most certainly is his fault. Tommy, you are just not a very good boy.'

3	Think Obamas Gone? Think Again Ex-Pres Considering Career in Digital PropagandaBy Jack Burns So, could it be that the mainstream media is in the tank for Obama, helping him launch his new career in media, by recklessly driving home a false narrative on the American people that their alternative news sources simply cannot be trusted? Maybe. But no one appears to be holding their breath that the outgoing president will follow the example of his predecessor, George W. Bush, from whom the public has heard very little over the last eight years outside of random appearances during which he laughs at murdered police officers funerals. The White House communications director Jen Psaki denied the rumors, telling Policy.Mic in a statement, While the president will remain actively engaged in inspiring young people and he is interested in the changing ways people consume information, he has no plans to get into the media business after he leaves office. But such a denial wouldnt be the first time the White House purposefully launched misinformation into the World Wide Web for political purposes. After all, it was the Obama administrations Ben Rhodes who bragged about creating an echo chamber of young, unwitting journalists to write what the administration wanted to propagate. With highly respected individuals like Ben Stein, and Charles Krauthammer, both calling Obama a narcissist, it would be no surprise to many that the presidents desire to hear himself speak would be satiated within his own media empire. Just picture a website like www.obama.com. Its available, for a price, and if acquired by the president, who knows, maybe it would become a reality. Oprah has hers (www.oprah.com), why not a former president? Policy.Mic accurately reported in the run-up to Election Day, mainstream media floated rumors that President-elect Donald Trump would create his own media network if he lost the election. Remember that? Now those rumors are a distant memory, and Trumps career trajectory has gone off on a tangent. Who better to pick up the mantle and start a new network than the nations first black president? Rolling Stone magazine first dropped a hint that hell be creating his own network. The president said, Ill spend timewriting a book, and Im gonna be organizing my presidential center, which is gonna be focused on precisely this issue of how do we train and empower the next generation of leadership. How do we rethink our storytelling, the messaging and the use of technology and digital media, so that we can make a persuasive case across the country? And not just in San Francisco or Manhattan but everywhere, about why climate change matters or why issues of economic inequality haveto be addressed. From that statement alone, one could deduce that the president has big plans in media. Obama is making no promises hell keep quiet after he leaves. In a recent visit to Peru, the sitting U.S. president told reporters, when asked if hed follow the model set by his predecessor to stay quiet, If there are issues that have less to do with the specifics of some legislative proposal or battle or go to core questions about our values and ideals, and if I think that its necessary or helpful for me to defend those ideals, Ill examine it when it comes. For all free thinkers everywhere, the thought of an Obama media network may send shivers down ones spine. Just when you think youre getting rid of him, here he comes again. Jack Burns writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Image Source This is good news! We can all intentionally ignore him like hes ignored us for eight years. Google is paying 97$ per hour! Work for few hours and have longer with friends family! !mj160d: You are thinking too small, Angela ! Better $970 per hour, no ?! Think big ! Might as well join Alex Jones since hes sold out. Theyd make a good team of sellout BS artists. Troll! This is a diabolical scheme to lockout Trump and Trump voters in 2020, without needing the useful idiot fakestream media next time. If these liberals, in both parties, get any darker they will be looking satan right in the eye. Now that Al Gore zeera is out of business, he needs to establish another CIA/muslim fake news outlet in the US. Oh, sure he would like to follow the example of Tony Blair, but more than likely his skeletons will be drug out of the closet, (Obama and his homosexuality and his transgender lady/man for a wife) and I personally hope his involvement with the Israeli secret service known as Mossad, is brought out for all to learn about! Gotta stick with wut yer good at and he(?) is really good at lies and deception. Not a chance Brad. I believe he is just putting all into getting the progressive government out of DC. If and when that happens these other things you speak of will get worked on. Give Alex a break we owe him a lot. 
3	How the West Extends its Control Over Journalism WorldwideBy The New Atlas Because of this, some journalists find themselves playing the role of commentator rather than investigator, often leaving out critical information in a rush to contribute to one of two sides amid a political divide. In some cases, journalists may appear to be doing their job by investigating deeper into news stories, but do so in a transparently one-sided manner, thus negating their role as an objective observer. In Thailand, this can be clearly seen in English-language coverage, particularly from The Nation and the Bangkok Post. In the rare instance that journalists from either paper investigates independently into any given headline, it is generally one-sided and transparently politically-motivated. And more often than not, these papers appear to be taking their lead from foreign news sources, particularly those in Europe and North America. One would expect newspapers from region to region to develop their own unique angles and perspectives regarding the news, but upon following the money, we will soon see why this more often than not doesnt happen. Pravit Rojanaphruk, currently a commentator at Thailands Khoasod English, is perhaps one of the most transparent examples of just what is wrong with newspapers across Asia. He proudly boasts of his various Western media affiliations and fellowships with his Twitter profile reading as follows: MSc (Oxon), British Chevening Scholar 2001-2002, Reuter Fellow 97-98, Katherine Fanning Fellow 2009, Salzburg Sem. Fellow. If these scholarships and fellowships actually cultivated real principles of journalism within recipients, they might actually be noteworthy milestones in a journalists career. However, what they instead represent, is a concerted attempt by the Western media to extend its influence further abroad, and to help align global news coverage uniformly to their perspective and to serve their interests. Journalists like Pravit, then, serve as an extension of Western media coverage rather than a representation of Thai journalism. Journalism by definition is the reporting of news, and news is by definition noteworthy information. What Pravit and others like him are prone to do, however, is interweave opinion and commentary into what is often strained, spun or even fabricated information. And this is done to align Thai news with those expectations and norms taught to them during their fellowships abroad in Europe and North America. The Reuters Journalism Fellowship Programme alone has processed hundreds of journalists around the world, putting them through between 1-3 terms at the University of Oxford to undergo a program of stringent indoctrination into the ways of Western journalism. It is virtually impossible for a fellow to undergo this process and leave as an independent journalist. Activities, according to the Reuters Institutes own website include: For inexperienced young men and women who aspire to be journalists, to be afforded this opportunity would be both immensely flattering and emotionally as well as professionally transformative. For a young journalist in Thailand to be afforded the opportunity to travel to the UK, to attend one or more terms at the world renowned University of Oxford and to be given an opportunity to see the inner workings of news organisations like the BBC, Thompson Reuters, The Economist and The Guardian would be an overwhelming experience. And it is meant to be. The journalists who complete such fellowships and return to their home countries, are forever linked to the institutions and individuals they met and worked with during their time abroad. They take back with them to their home countries not the tools of an objective journalist, but the indoctrination, culture, interests and angles of a Western-centric worldview. To those who have completed the fellowship, they often confuse this Western-centric worldview with being objective, but it is most certainly not. We can look at the Reuters fellowship program and see news organisations like Thompson Reuters, the BBC, The Economist and The Guardian held up as examples of journalism. This is despite their active manipulation of information toward particular political objectives rather than accurately informing the public. In particular, these news services played crucial roles in promoting wars like the US-UK led invasion of Iraq in 2003, intentionally obfuscating critical information the public and policymakers required to make an honest assessment of the decision to go to war. The BBC in particular has been embroiled in impropriety ranging from deceptive news coverage to paid-for documentaries and even criminal conduct committed by individuals, and covered up institutionally. But news organisations serving special interests is nothing new. One must expect this realistically, to a certain degree, regarding any news organisation operating around the world. It is not a matter of whether or not they are serving special interests, it is a matter of whose interests they are serving. While Thai-based news organisations would be expected to serve special interests in Thailand, they do not, specifically because of the Wests industrialised journalist mills. These fellowship programs, training seminars and campaigns are undertaken to ensure the widest possible consensus globally to Western special interests, regardless of what nation journalists may be from or what nations they are currently operating in. That is why The Nation and the Bangkok Post feature editorial slants nearly indistinguishable from those of Western news agencies. While Pravit is very open and proud of his indoctrination into this system of mass-produced consensus, others employed across the Thai media are not. Some digging, however, into the backgrounds of journalists who repeatedly and suspiciously repeat talking-points originating from abroad usually reveals a similar and extensive resume of foreign fellowships, education and indoctrination. Understandably, for people hearing this for the first time, it sounds like an incredible conspiracy theory. However, upon thoughtful examination, it is merely the predictable repetition of history unfolding. Ancient Roman historian Tacitus (c. AD 56 after 117) would adeptly describe the systematic manner in which Rome pacified foreign peoples and the manner in which it would extend its sociocultural and institutional influence over conquered lands. In chapter 21 of his book Agricola, named so after his father-in-law whose methods of conquest were the subject of the text, Tacitus would explain: His object was to accustom them to a life of peace and quiet by the provision of amenities. He therefore gave official assistance to the building of temples, public squares and good houses. He educated the sons of the chiefs in the liberal arts, and expressed a preference for British ability as compared to the trained skills of the Gauls. The result was that instead of loathing the Latin language they became eager to speak it effectively. In the same way, our national dress came into favour and the toga was everywhere to be seen. And so the population was gradually led into the demoralizing temptation of arcades, baths and sumptuous banquets. The unsuspecting Britons spoke of such novelties as civilization, when in fact they were only a feature of their enslavement. We can easily see how fellowships fill a similar role today, with the West, openly aspiring to construct an international order, educating potentially influential foreigners in both English and the liberal arts, encouraging a preference for Western culture and perspectives and convincing them that such indoctrination is a novelty of civilisation rather than a feature of control and a vector for Western influence into any particular country. Under the British Empire, similar education and missionary programs were created to replace independent and unique local perspectives and culture with the uniform perspective and culture of Britain, serving British aspirations of global hegemony. Cambridge University PressMissionary Writing and Empire, 18001860 would note in a chapter extract that (our emphasis): Christian missionary activity was central to the work of European colonialism, providing British missionaries and their supporters with a sense of justice and moral authority. Throughout the history of imperial expansion, missionary proselytising offered the British public a model of civilised expansionism and colonial community management, transforming [imperial] projects into moral allegories. Missionary activity was, however, unavoidably implicated in either covert or explicit cultural change. It sought to transform indigenous communities into imperial archetypes of civility and modernity by remodelling the individual, the community, and the state through western, Christian philosophies. In the British Empire, and particularly in what is historically known as the second era of British imperialism (approximately 17841867), missionary activity was frequently involved with the initial steps of imperial expansion. It is a bit ironic then that Britain, against which cultural colonialism was first used by the Romans, became a centre of power used then to disseminate cultural colonialism in service of naked imperialism under the British Empire, is now being used to disseminate a softer version of it under the guise of journalism and academia. Like the sons of chiefs in Britannia, foreign journalists like Thailands Pravit Rojanaphruk probably have honestly convinced themselves that these features of control and manipulation are instead the novelties of civilisation. It is important for policymakers and the public alike to understand this aspect of modern journalism to both be aware of how it impacts news coverage, and of what possible measures can be taken to combat modern day cultural colonialism. One possible measure could be national programs that attempt to recruit and build up a corps of local journalists who represent their nations best interests, culture and perspectives. These journalists can then fill the ranks of local newspapers and TV stations, as well as influence news conferences and seminars both local and international from their own nations perspective, rather than merely amplifying those of nations running international fellowship programmes. For Thailand who has large government-funded news organisations like Thai PBS, universities and trusted news professionals, untainted by foreign indoctrination, can develop a truly Thai brand of journalism that is taught to political science and journalist students in school, and reinforced through the same sort of activities conducted by foreign fellowships overseas. In essence, instead of depending on foreign fellowships and joint news organisation-university programs abroad, Thailand should develop is own domestically, as well as well-funded news organisations for Thai journalists to work at safely, securely and far from the ego-ensnaring temptations extended by foreign interests.

Journalists every where are too nervous not report the AssociatedPress fascist party lines, as in say this or leave the planet. I found the article well written and compelling, but it left me with a question: why should journalists be encouraged to report from national interests? Isnt it the purpose of journalism to watchdog those interests? In pursuit of this elusive conceptobjectivityshouldnt journalism be geared towards fact finding and not towards any particular national interest, foreign or domestic? Just sayin. You know, honestly, objectivity is the ultimate journalistic ideal, and you are right, but knowing human nature, realistically the next best thing we can have is a balance of power between competing views. So suppose were looking at a spectrum, media being dominated by the West is the worst, media balanced by competing national interests is in the middle, and truly objective journalism is the best. 
1	Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrtien and Indian President Abdul Kalam held a subdued press conference in the Canadian Capitol building Monday to announce that the two nations have peacefully and sheepishly resolved a dispute over their common border. Embarrassed Chrtien and Kalam restore diplomatic relations. 'We arewell, I guess proud isn't the wordrelieved, I suppose, to restore friendly relations with India after the regrettable dispute over the exact coordinates of our shared border,' said Chrtien, who refused to meet reporters' eyes as he nervously crumpled his prepared statement. 'The border that, er... Well, I guess it turns out that we don't share a border after all.' Chrtien then officially withdrew his country's demand that India hand over a 20-mile-wide stretch of land that was to have served as a demilitarized buffer zone between the two nations. 'Really, I think the best thing for us to do is forget about the whole thing as quickly as possible,' Chrtien added. 'Please.' Kalam echoed Chrtien's sentiment. 'India is, likewise, pleased that the situation has been resolved,' said Kalam, who just last week demanded that Canada remove all long-range weaponry from the Western Yukon. 'The news is greeted by all the people of India as a great...you know...a very great [inaudible].' 'Can this press conference be over now?' Kalam asked. The two leaders then exchanged a brief, fumbling handshake. No one is sure how the conflict began, but once it was set into motion, the two countries' demands became increasingly forceful. Last week, India insisted, under threat of war, that Canada withdraw its troops from the 'disputed zone.' Canada responded with a counter-demand that India remove its own troops from the 'disputed zone.' Tensions neared the flash point Sept. 20, when units of the Indian 77th Light Infantry and the Canadian 44th 'Wild Geese' Armored Cavalry assembled and glared across the borders, in each other's directions, for several hours. Throughout the standoff, both nations rejected U.N. offers of counsel. With relations restored, both nations have declined to address specific accusations or the manner in which the conflict was ultimately resolved. 'India has always been a peaceable nation. We accept the peaceful solution whenever possible,' said an Indian government official who declined to give his name. 'Likewise, we are glad that our Canadian allies have joined us in seeing reason. The end.' 'The people of Canada have put the matter behind them, and hope that in the future, disputes of this kind can be resolved peacefully,' said Assistant Foreign Affairs Minister Gerard Tollifer, who didn't take questions. 'Actually, come to think of it, the Canadian people hope disputes of this kind don't ever happen in the future. And that is all we will ever need to say on this again, okay? Right. This never happened.' World leaders have met news of Canada and India's peaceful resolution with a mixture of relief and sly amusement. 'We are all pleased that these two nations were able to resolve their differences,' said U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, hiding his mouth behind a manila file folder. 'We congratulate Canada and India on whatever they did to solve the conflict over their...their... border.' 
2	Al Sharpton Exposed As A Fraud and a Con Man, He Could Lose Everything in THIS Lawsuit Al Sharpton is a notorious race-baiter with some extreme opinions. It turns out he is also a con man and a fraud. Hes now being sued for $1.75 million for ripping off a man who needed his help. One of Al Sharptons clients, Reggie Anders Sr. tried to get Sharptons help with a discrimination issue he had with Verizon. This is where is gets messed up. Reggie paid Sharpton $16,000 in cash after Sharpton promised to set up mediation meetings, put the matter to the media and even insult Verizon on his weekly radio broadcast. However, Al Sharpton did none of this. Thats not all but Reggie Anders Sr. soon found out that Verizon pays Al Sharpton for good press. Al Sharpton took this mans $16,000 and wasted a lot of his time for nothing. And now hes angry. Anders talked to the New York Post about Sharpton, hes a crook, hes a fraud, and thats all he is. He didnt do anything he promised. Absolutely nothing. I thought he was an honest guy. I thought he would do what he said he would do. When Al Sharpton was first asked about Anders Sharpton denied he even knew who he was. What do you think? Is Reggie Anders telling the truth? Will Al Sharpton lose his reputation? 
2	Something Terrible Just Happened To Michelle Obama Apparently First Lady Michelle Obama did not learn much from the wardrobe malfunction she experienced earlier this year, when the wind blew her skirt up as she was walking onto Air Force One. Michelle recently experienced another embarrassing mishap on their familys recent trip to Southern California. The family was traveling to UC Irvine so that Obama could deliver his commencement address to the graduating class. Not surprisingly, the couple arrived a few days early to pay golf and enjoy California. What do you think about Michelles continued wardrobe malfunctions? As someone continuously in the public eye, should she be more careful? 
3	Worlds First Biometric Credit Card Will Arrive in 2015: Pay with Your FingerprintNicholas West The fear of identity theft and cyber-banking crime has been the latest sales pitch to encourage accepting identity tech such as vein scanners, facial recognition, voiceprints, iris scans even tears as well as their attendant databases. There is an ongoing cooperative effort between global banks and corporations to ensure that there will be standardized, centralized entry into the consumer/Internet/banking matrix of the future. Another data point to note in the evolution of biometric ID is that MasterCard is now partnering with a Norwegian company called Zwipe to introduce the first fully biometric credit card, which will dispense with a PIN and instead use a fingerprint sensor for verification. The transition to a cashless society continues apace, while simultaneously incorporating an all-inclusive tracking database from which it will become very difficult to escape if one wishes to interact in any meaningful way with a modern-day economy. Apparently, this means even a simple trip to the corner store: Aside from the fact that fingerprints were only used to log criminals in the past, the use of biometrics in Africa mentioned in the quote above is certainly not unique, as India has implemented a biometric ID program for all of its 1.2 billion residents. Countries such as Japan and Israel are also well on their way toward cashless societies. This clearly shows the ability to scale up this technology to eventually include everyone on the planet. As Brandon Turbeville has covered extensively, planet-wide biometric ID is the stated goal of corporations, as well as various globalist foundations. I would point you to the following articles for a comprehensive overview: Zwipe does attempt to alleviate concerns about any type of crossover use for your personal biometric signature: Perhaps, in this case, the fingerprint data itself isnt stored in a database, but it would seem that the purchase information must be just as every other financial transaction is. Perhaps it does, however, highlight a growing PR concern after multiple banking and corporate hacks have put hundreds of millions of peoples identities at risk. These developments mark just how far down the path we are toward pulling everyone into the financial matrix. In lieu of ensuring that people must be given the choice to completely opt out, alternatives such as Bitcoin should be explored in order to maintain some of its very best counter-functions. One clear difference with Bitcoin and its attendant blockchain that needs to be understood is that it is inherently a decentralized, non-database structure that puts security into the hands of the end-user, not with any specific company charged with its oversight. (For a thorough look at what financial transactions and payment systems really should look like, please see this informative video featuring Bitcoin expert Andreas Antonopolous as he educates the Canadian Senate Banking Committee its much more riveting than it sounds.) Nevertheless, the biometrics agenda goes far beyond financial transactions, but this is the most palatable way to introduce the concept as a logical necessity to solve myriad problems with banking security. Naturally, the more people who are part of the banking system, the more people who are held hostage by its failures and are then forced to become integrated into the solution. This should be kept in mind as we find ourselves in the midst of a perfect storm of health crises where we are already hearing calls of Big Data to be employed for health tracking and BioSurveillance. Health and finances are easily the two greatest concerns for the average person, so its no mystery why they are starting here. But whats next? What other threats are looming?

3	Federal Court Rules Native Americans Cant Use Cannabis, But Can Use Peyote For Religious CeremoniesBy Andrew Emett Using cannabis during sweat lodge ceremonies, the Native American Church of Hawaii filed a complaint against the feds in 2009 after law enforcement officials seized marijuana belonging to a member of the church. According to the Native American Church of Hawaii, their cannabis use is similar to the purpose of many other intensive religious practices to enhance spiritual awareness or even to occasion direct experience of the divine. Seeking protection under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 and the American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978, the church fought to allow members to continue using cannabis during their rituals. Although federal law allows Native Americans to use, possess, or transport peyote for traditional ceremonial purposes, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals recently upheld the district courts decision preventing members of the church from violating federal marijuana laws. Its really disappointing, church founder Michael Rex Raging Bear Mooney told the Associated Press. Cannabis is a prayer smoke, so its a sacramentthrough the effects of the medicine, it also helps us become closer to our creator. It puts us in a place, a state of mind, where we can actually feel the presence and an actual relationship with our creator. As more states continue to legalize marijuana for medicinal and recreational use, even the DEA will decide this summer whether to keep cannabis classified as a dangerous Schedule I drug alongside heroin, LSD, and peyote. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), cannabis has been shown to kill cancer cells in the laboratory, but further research remains limited due to archaic federal marijuana laws. In their opinion, the circuit judges wrote they are skeptical that the churchs cannabis use amounts to an exercise of religion. Judge Diarmuid OScannlain wrote, Nonetheless, we need not reach this question on appeal, because even assuming such use constitutes an exercise of religion, no rational trier of fact could conclude on this record that a prohibition of cannabis use imposes a substantial burden. Composed of at least 250 members, the Native American Church of Hawaii plans to appeal the courts decision. Prohibited from using marijuana but permitted to use peyote, the church also honors and embraces all entheogenic naturally occurring substances, including Ayahuasca, Cannabis (aka Rosa Maria and Santa Rosa), Iboga, Kava, Psilocybin, San Pedro, Soma, Teonanacatyl, Tsi-Ahga, and many others. Although the circuit judges argued that cannabis prohibition does not force the church to choose between religious obedience and government sanction, church members remain in violation of federal law if they continue to use marijuana during their ceremonies. Instead of advocating cannabis as an alternative to hallucinogenic drugs such as peyote or psilocybin, the feds continue to criminalize a medicinal plant. Mans relationship with the divine cant be dictated by any other person or government entity, asserted Mooneys lawyer, Michael Glenn, who plans on appealing the courts decision. Andrew Emett is a Los Angeles-based reporter exposing political and corporate corruption. His interests include national security, corporate abuse, and holding government officials accountable.

I thought about repatriating to any indigenous tribe in the USA Im sure they should fight this, they are a complete nation not under USA jurisdiction hope they fight this. They are, but then again, they arent. Its depressingly complicated. Direct experience of the divine? We cant have folks cutting out the middle man, now can we? All pipers must be paid; one size fits all. Anyone who got logical mind will realise why Cannabis is band not Peyote

'Danielle loves that No Doubt song 'Running,' so I threw that on there just for her,' Mansfield said. 'And she doesn't really like rap, which [previous girlfriend] Erica [Hollings] loved, so I took off [Salt-N-Pepa's] 'Whatta Man' and replaced it with two Aretha Franklin songs, because Danielle loves the oldies.' Mansfield said he expects Welter to love the mix 'even more than Erica did, maybe even as much as Christine.' 
3	Order Out of Chaos: The Global Elites Plan for a Middle Eastern UnionSteven MacMillan Islamic State: A Creation of US Intelligence The Islamic State (IS) has hit the headlines in recent months due to their latest terror campaign in Iraq, which has led to US airstrikes in the North of the country. What has been omitted from mainstream circles though is the intimate relationship between US intelligence agencies and IS, as they have trained, armed and funded the group for years. Back in 2012, World Net Daily received leaks by Jordanian officials who reported that the US military was training ISIL (as it was then known) in Jordan, before being deployed into Syria to fight against Bashar al-Assad. Francis Boyle, a Law professor at the University of Illinois, has described IS as a covert US intelligence operation whose objective is to destroy Iraq as a state. The strategy in the Middle East is the creation of a perpetual condition of instability and a policy of constructive chaos, where nation states are to be destroyed so that the map of the Middle East can be redrawn. IS provided the pretext to intervene in Iraq once again, with the intervention ensuring the oil fields in Erbil are safely in the hands of multi-national corporations as opposed to chaotic and dysfunctional mercenaries as well as providing the justification for the US, Britain and France to bolster the Kurds in the North of the country, which furthers the agenda of destroying Iraq as a state. As the President of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and Former Director of Policy Planning at the State Department, Richard Hass, wrote in an Op Ed for Project Syndicate last month: As I reported in June, the policy in Iraq is to split the country into 3 separate religious and ethnic mini-states: a Sunni Iraq to the West, an Arab Shia State in the East and a Free Kurdistan in the North. The objective of dividing Iraq into 3 has been discussed in neo-imperial policy circles since as far back as 1982, when Israeli journalist who also had close connections to the Foreign Ministry in Israel Oded Yinon, wrote an article which was published in a journal of the World Zionist Organisation, titled: A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties. Yinon discusses the plan for a Greater Israel and pinpoints Iraq in particular as the major obstacle in the Middle East which threatens Israels expansion: Yinon continues: Israel is merely an extension of Anglo-American power and has been since its creation in 1948, so any expansion of Israeli territory is synonymous with an increase in Anglo-American hegemony in the region. Arthur James Balfour, the British Foreign Secretary from 1916 to 1919 and author of the 1917 Balfour Declaration which declared British support for the creation of a Jewish state (Israel) in Palestine was also a member of the Milner Group, according to CFR historian Carroll Quigley in his book the Anglo-American Establishment (p.311). The Milner Group was the precursor to the Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA) or Chatham House; the British arm of the CFR, with both organisations sharing the collective objective of creating an Anglo-American global empire. After funding and being directly responsible for much of the chaos and instability that has been unleashed in the Middle East, western think tank strategists are proposing a centralised, sovereignty-usurping union as the solution to the problem they have created, in a classic deployment of the order out of chaos doctrine. As The New American reported last month, Ed Husain, an Adjunct Senior Fellow for Middle Eastern Studies at the CFR, compared todays Middle East to Europe before the EU was created, and he asserted that the only solution to the ongoing violence is the creation of a Middle Eastern Union. This sentiment was echoed by Hass, who compared the Middle East of today to 17th century Europe, in his article The New Thirty Years War. Hass proclaims that the future will likely be as turbulent unless a new local order emerges: The idea of an EU-style governing body over the Middle East is not a new concept. In 2008, the Iraqi government called for an EU-style trading bloc in the Middle East that would encompass Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Turkey and later perhaps the Gulf states, in an address to the US think tank the Institute of Peace. The President of Turkey, Abdullah Gl, was in attendance at the second meeting in 2011 along with Egemen Ba, the Minister for EU Affairs and Chief Negotiator at the time, who gave a speech where he described the EU as the model for the Middle East: Whether a Middle Eastern Union will be created is difficult to determine at this point in history, but there is no question that the process of redrawing the map of the Middle East is well under way. Steven MacMillan is an independent writer, researcher, geopolitical analyst and editor of The Analyst Report, especially for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook, where this first appeared. 
2	Obamas Syrian Refugee Policy Collapses After 72 DHS Employees Are Put On Terrorist Watch List Obama has been pushing his Syrian Refugee program despite the overwhelming resistance he has faced. Time and time we see that this program is not a good idea. It has just been leaked that 72 employees at the Department of Homeland Security have been put on the U.S. terrorist watch list. The former Director of the DHS was forced to resign because of this. Maybe Obama should focus on keeping his government officials in line before trying to bring in more potential terrorists. Obama has really dropped the ball this time. Do you think Obama should completely drop the Syrian Refugee program? 
2	Obamas Speech From Mosque [VIDEO] Remember when President Obama called Islam a religion of peace? Well, youd think he would back down from that a bit given the mass attacks on Western nations throughout the world at the hands of refugeesbut the violence only seems to be fueling Obamas pro-Muslim agenda. Shortly after the tragic shootings in San Bernardino, Chattanooga, Paris and Garland, President Obama made the controversial decision to visit a radical mosque in Baltimore. An attack on one religion is an attack on all religions, Obama said during his first official visit to a U.S. mosque. For more than a thousand years, people have been drawn to Islams message of peace. Pamela Geller was quick to attack Obama for the move, which seems to be a slap in the face to anyone who has lost a loved one to jihadist violence. Pathetic, she wrote. The only religion attacking, subjugating and slaughtering members of other religions en masse is Islam. The religion attacking other religions is Islam. President Obama speaks nothing of this. Gender apartheid, creed apartheid, cultural annihilation, jihad wars, and enslavement is raging across the world under his presidency. And yet, Obama proselytizes for Islam. Obama didnt stop there, however. He went on to encourage Hollywood to include more Muslim characters in storylines that do not involve National Security. Its not that hard to do, Obama commented. Muslim Americans keep us safe. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Has Obama completely lost it? 
2	BREAKING: Atheists Are FURIOUS After The Air Force Takes THIS Stand Against Them As we all know, atheists have begun to take a public stand against any reference to religion or God, taking their protests to an extreme. They attempted to remove the 9/11 cross from the September 11 Museum, they tried to ban the motto In God We Trust, and now they are speaking out against an Air Force decision to overturn a ruling that So help me God be optional at the end of the oath of enlistment. An airmans career will be coming to an end unless he recognizes God in his oath of reenlistment, Allen West shared on his website. Monica Miller, an attorney for Appiginani Humanist Legal Center in Washington, calls the decision unbelievable. While were amused by Millers reaction, were more relieved that the military can now focus on some more important issues. 
1	NEW ORLEANSFollowing this year's BCS National Championship game, held in New Orleans' Louisiana Superdome, commissioners from all amateur and professional sporting leagues released a statement Tuesday saying that sports is 'through' helping the city of New Orleans recover from the devastation suffered at the hands of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. 'We worked endless hours to make sure the Superdome was rebuilt in time for the Saints' home opener in 2006; we fought tirelessly to bring the 2008 NBA All-Star Game to the city; and long days and nights were spent making sure the Hornets were able to play in New Orleans Arena this year. Not to mention that our athletes have collectively worked thousands of hours helping the community rebuild,' the statement read in part. 'Enough's enough already. The city needs to start leeching off another industry.' The statement added that sports will continue its pledge to aid New York City's recovery from the blackout of 1977, as the metropolis will add three new baseball teams, two more basketball teams, and four new athletic arenas by the end of 2012. 
1	Following Army psychologist Nidal Malik Hasan's shooting rampage on the Fort Hood military base last week that left 13 people dead and 30 others injured, fellow Muslims across the nation sent him a message today, saying 'thanks a fucking bunch, asshole,' to the 39-year-old killer. 'Hey, great, eight years of progress right down the shitter,' St. Cloud, MN resident Zahida Naseem said at one of dozens of impromptu rallies held nationwide. 'And you just had to scream 'Allahu Akbar' while you did it, didn't you? May as well have put on a turban and rode a fucking camel right through the army base, you dick. Thanks for making the foreseeable future a living hell for normal, peace-loving Muslims in this country. Really appreciate it!' American Sikhs are also reportedly enraged with Hasan, and an official statement from the National Sikh Heritage Center read, in part, 'look, we got nothing to do with that guy.' 
2	World Renowned Physicist Proves God Is Real, Liberals Are FURIOUS Famous physicist Michio Kaku shocked the world recently with what he called definitive proof that God exists. Kuku is one of the most internationally respected scientists in the world and one of the creators and developers of String Theory. You can bet that atheists arent happy with his conclusions. Kaku argues that all the complex rules of the universe cannot have been created by chance. I have concluded that we are in a world made by rules created by an intelligence. Believe me, everything that we call chance today wont make sense anymore, Kaku began. To me, it is clear that we exist in a plan which is governed by rules that were created, shaped by a universal intelligence and not by chance. According to Science World Report, Kaku came to his conclusion after studying primitive semi-radius tachyons. These tachyons are theoretical particles that have the ability to unstuck matter in the universe or vacuum space between particlesleaving everything free from the influence of the Universe. In a controversial YouTube video, Kaku states that the final resolution could be that God is a mathematician. The mind of God, we believe, is cosmic music, the music of strings resonating through 11-dimesnsion hyperspace. Kaku is not the only scientists to believe firmly in God. Albert Einstein also believed God was a mathematician. What do you think of Kakus evidence?

Spies in the old days used to be executed. This guy is becoming a hero in some circles. Now, I will say, with the passage of time, even people that were sort of liking him and were trying to go on his side are maybe dropping out We have to get him back and we have to get him back fast. It could take months or it could take years, and that would be pathetic. Trump uttered. This guys a bad guy and, you know, theres still a thing called execution. Trump stamps Snowden as a traitor, stirring suggestions that Snowden maybe be sharing more leaks he might potentially possess with the Chinese and Russian governments. Throughout the conversation Trump total discredits himself as a sensible man, exposing his ignorance of the rule of law and the issue at hand. The mainstream media continues to hound on Snowden, while the larger picture (the NSA violating the Fourth Amendment) is totally pushed aside. Trump has no respect for freedom, as he proves with his words. Paul Lawrance writes for Eyes Open Report, where this article first appeared. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	BREAKING: Pipe Bomb Explodes At US Marine Event... This Is Terrorism Authorities evacuated dozens of Jersey Shore homes on Saturday morning after a pipe bomb exploded where thousands of people were about to participate in a charity 5K race to benefit Marines and sailors. Investigators said they would not rule out terrorism as a possible cause. Thankfully, no injuries were reported in the blast in Seaside Park. The third annual Semper Five run was canceled, however. The pipe bomb was in a plastic garbage can when it exploded. Authorities quickly cleared the boardwalk and beach area and bomb-sniffing dogs searched the area. Investigators uncovered other devices wired together in the same garbage can that did not detonate. Weve evacuated within a four-block perimeter, spokesman Al Della Fave told the Star-Ledger. Officials said runners were expected to pass by the area around the time the blast took place, but the start of the race had been delayed due to an unattended back[ack. We have various K9s throughout the area, bomb dogs that are making sure the area is safe and secure, a law enforcement official told WCBS 880. The FBI, Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the state police were all part of the investigation. 
1	Though she hasnt spoken with him since they were both employees of American Mutual Insurance back in 2008, local woman Rebecca Pittman, 30, said Thursday that her former coworker Jeff Wallach, 35, still frequently likes her photos on Facebook. At least once or twice a week I can count on getting a notification that says he likes one of my pictures, Pittman told reporters, adding that she and Wallach were never at any point close friends, though they occasionally made small talk in their offices break room. Even if someone tags me in a photo of a large group of people hes never met, theres still a pretty good chance hell like it. And weirdest of all, sometimes hell click like when I accept a friend request from someone he couldnt possibly know. Why the hell would anyone do that? Pittman went on to admit that on the rare occasions when Wallach fails to like one of her Facebook photos, she actually gets a little bit offended and wonders if maybe theres something wrong with it. 
2	Outrage After Michelle Obama Slips Up... America Furious Michelle Obama has been in the White House for almost eight years now. In that time, her true colors have shown through. If there is one thing we know for certain after two terms, its that Michelle loves getting attention for herself. Thats why it was almost laughable when Michelle told in InStyle magazine that she couldnt wait for her husband to leave office in November so she could return to a normal life. My hopes are to recapture some of the everydayness, some anonymity, Michelle told interviewers. And we know that will take some time. But I always joke that I dream of opening up my front door and walking out without any notification, without any security. And it will be nice to open up the paper, look at the front page, and know that youre not responsible for every headline, she continued. Its sort of like: its not my job. In the interview, Michelle failed to mention that she will no longer get to spend taxpayer dollars to fund her lavish vacations. Well wonder how shell adjust to that after she steps out of the door.

That is, until THIS video came out and showed the secret to making the perfect hashbrowns! The steps are simple. Start by taking your shredded potatoes and putting them into a baking dish, seasoning them with salt and pepper. In a different mixing bowl, use cream of chicken soup, pour in some sour cream, melted butter and chopped onions, and mix together thoroughly. Then, pour the mixture on top of the seasoned potatoes, and cover it all with shredded cheese. Go on to bake uncovered at 350 F for 45-55 minutes until it is crisp and golden. Delicious!

1	Expressing frustration that he had yet to receive any divine counsel on the matter, former Senator Rick Santorum told reporters Friday that he was still waiting for the go-ahead from God to suspend his presidential campaign. My relationship with God drives every decision in my life, so here I am, still going through the motions eight months into this presidential run, looking for any green light from Him that I can end this thing, said Santorum, explaining that he truly believed with all his heart that the Lord Almighty would have provided His blessing to pack it in once his national polling numbers dipped below 1 percent. Seriously, this has gone on long enough. I really should have received His word, or at least some divine sign by now. Ill just give God until the South Carolina primary and then Im going to have to do some serious reevaluating. At press time, God confirmed that He figured Santorum had already dropped out of the presidential race several months ago.

After robbing a store, the group was attempting to flee the scene when they came into contact with an off duty cop. The cop identified himself, and attempted to arrest the robbers. Instead, the group attempted to shoot the officer, and in an act of defense, he ended up shooting each of them. All four men ended up dying on a crowded street. What do you think of the incident? 
1	According to an unconfirmed report, a thing happened Monday, though experts say it is still not clear exactly what the thing was. 'All we know at this time,' University of Prague professor of phenomenology Rupert Heiden said, 'is that some kind of thing happened.' Ordinary citizens, meanwhile, are struggling to put the thing into proper perspective. 'You just don't expect a thing like this to happen,' Stockton, CA, resident Pamela Worthington said. 'Not with things the way they've been.' In a statement released late Tuesday, President Clinton urged all Americans to remain calm and allow things to take their natural course. 'These things happen,' he said.

Footage of the altercation has quickly gone viral. The bus driver was able to overtake his attacker and put him in a headlockwhere he is able to teach him a thing or two about respecting the country he is in. Germany is in crisis mode, housing more Muslims than any other country in Europe. They have accepted 4.8 million refugees into their country, and it now makes up 5.8 percent of their total population. That number is only expected to rise in the next few years. This video is disturbing, but it serves as a reminder of what can happen when people enter a country without respecting it.

'We're not trying to debunk any myths here,' head archivist Fran Fretny said. 'All we're saying is that he was quite gay.' Evidence of Roosevelt's gayness include his excessive smiling; his jolly, booming voice; and his generally 'sunny' disposition.

2	Fans FURIOUS After Dolly Parton Says THIS... Wow Dolly Parton had some outraged fans this week when the country music star endorsed Hillary Clinton, claiming she would be wonderful. Hillary might make as good a president as anybody ever has, Parton commented in an interview with the New York Times. She then made it clear that she thinks both choices for president are pretty bleak. I think no matter if its Hillary or Donald Trump, were gonna be plagued with PMS either way presidential mood swings! she joked. I personally think a woman would do a great job. I think Hillarys very qualified. So if she gets it, Ill certainly be behind her. Parton made the comment as part of her Pure Simple Tour for her upcoming album. She also praised her large gay audience in addition to her country fans. I think its fun! the singer said. You know, we usually have boys all dressed like me, and so when I do Jolene and I see a bunch of drag queens out there, I start singing [to the tune of the Jolene chorus] drag queen, drag queen, drag queen! Please dont take my man! she says. I have a huge gay following, and Im proud of them. Sometimes some of them look more like me than I do. What do you think about Partons comments? Are you disappointed in her? 
3	British SAS Special Forces Dressed Up as ISIS Rebels Fighting Assad in SyriaBy Stephen Lendman More than 120 members belonging to the elite regiment are currently in the war-torn country covertly dressed in black and flying ISIS flags, engaged in whats called Operation Shader attacking Syrian targets on the pretext of combating ISIS. Maybe covert US special forces and CIA elements are involved the same way. During Obamas war on Libya, Britain deployed hundreds of Special Forces Support Group (SFSG) paratroopers drawn from SAS (Special Air Service) and SBS (Special Boat Service) personnel. Around 800 Royal Marines and 4,000 US counterparts were on standby to intervene on short notice if ordered. The latest revelation comes two weeks after learning Prime Minister David Cameron last year approved British warplanes joining US ones in bombing Syria despite parliamentary rejection in August 2013. At least part of its current covert ground operation is under US command so-called smash units traveling in pickup trucks able to launch mini-UAVs to scan terrain for targets to attack. Over 250 UK (and perhaps US) specialists are involved to provide communications support, the Sunday Express explained. British Defense Secretary Michael Fallon said (o)ur actions and surveillance capabilities are freeing up other countries to strike in Syria. UK SAS forces are in Saudi Arabia training anti-Assad terrorists along with US operatives doing the same thing including in Turkey, Jordan, Qatar and perhaps Israel. US and UK claims about training so-called moderate rebels reflect smoke-screen cover for working directly with ISIS terrorists trained, armed and funded abroad, funneled cross-border into Syria to fight Assad, now with US/UK and Canadian air support along with covert commandos on the ground. The Express cited former British Army General David Richards saying tanks will roll as part of UK operations in Syria. A separate article discussed US airstrikes defending ISIS terrorists serving as US foot soldiers against Assad. The Wall Street Journal reported what appears ominously like prelude to Libya 2.0 falsely claiming Obama authorized airstrikes against Syrian forces if they attack (nonexistent) US-supported moderate rebels. Separately, Turkish media reported President Recep Tayyip Erdogan saying Putin may have softened on Assad. (H)e may give up on him. Obama said he was encouraged by the fact that Mr. Putin called him (in late June) and initiated the call to talk about Syria. Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said both leaders discussed combating terrorism especially the Islamic State. The Russian view is well-known, he explained. (I)t was reiterated by (Putin) during (his) conversation with Obama. It hasnt changed. Putin opposes outside interference by any nations in the internal affairs of others. He supports the sovereign right of Syrians and other people to choose their own leaders and legislators. Putin aide Yury Ushakov said the current leadership of Syria is one of the real and effective forces confronting the Islamic State. Nothing indicates less Russian support for Assad.

2	BREAKING: Bill Fails, Sharia Law Takes Over South Carolina And Now They Can Do THIS According to reports, a bill that was put in front of the South Carolina Statement was narrowly defeated in the Senate on Wednesday. If passed, the bill would have made it illegal for Muslims to use Sharia law in defense of crimes committed in the state. The measure was sponsored by Charleston Republican Rep. Chip Limehouse. It was designed to prevent an attorney from arguing that the laws of a clients home country allow for certain actions in South Carolina. Im not surprised, Limehouse said of the Senates decision. The Senate can be the graveyard of many good ideas. Still, Limehouse insists the measure is necessary to curb the advancement of terrorist organizations in the country. To me a ban on Sharia law is kind of like a ban on poisonous gas, he commented. It just makes sense. The bill ultimately died in a 9-10 vote Wednesday. It was be at least another year before it can be brought up again. I couldnt, in good conscience, support what it represents, Sen. Ronnie Sabb, who helped defeat the bill, told reporters. A law like this sends us backwards. Of course, many were quick to point out the hypocrisy in Sabbs statements. Yes. What could be more forward-thinking than stoning for adultery, amputations for theft, murder of apostates, and the institutionalized subjugation of women and non-Muslims? Author Robert Spencer commented. Its the wave of the future! What do you think of the Senates decision? Did they just deny a measure that could protect our country from further harm at the hands of radical Islam? 
1	Though most observers believed Mitt Romney had the 2012 Republican presidential nomination wrapped up, the 2016 campaign of New Jersey governor Chris Christie came out of nowhere Wednesday to convince delegates that the future candidate deserved the nomination, and that he should be the leading Republican on the ticket this fall. 'If we're going to beat Obama in November, we're going to need a candidate who is charismatic and has had years to distance himself from the disastrous 2012 crop of potential nominees like Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, and a still-very-green Chris Christie,' Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus told reporters, adding that the Christie 2016 campaign had already raised hundreds of millions of dollars in donations from David Koch and investment banker Charles Schwab. 'With Christie selecting Paul Ryanwho has had four years to come back to the center on economic issuesas his running mate, the Republican ticket is exceptionally strong. If I were Obama right now, I'd be very worried.' At press time, the Christie 2016 campaign was planning an appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman, where the candidate will more than likely discuss his new fit and trim appearance. 
2	Released Guantanamo Taliban Leaders Return To Power It appears as though new and troubling information keeps rising in the wake of the exchange of five Guantanamo Bay detainees in exchange for army deserter Bowe Bergdahl. New information reveals that the five men released may be in the process of reentering the war. Records show that two of the men who were released were central Taliban officials. Mohammed Fazl, for example, was listed at a former army chief of staff. Kahirullah Khairkhwa also served as a high ranking operative. Two other detainees show signs of heading back into the conflict. Noorullah Noori was a former field commander in northern Afghanistan, where a majority of the conflict is currently taking place. Abdul Haq Wasiq was a deputy intelligence officer, who is believed to be resentful toward America. And Mohammed Nabi Omari was a Taliban official, although his returning position is unclear at the moment. In initial reports, it was believed that the five Taliban detainees would be held in Qatar for one year, and would be subject to monitoring and tracking from the U.S. in compliance with the Qatari government. Soon after the agreement was made, it appears that it is already in jeopardy. If Qatar cooperates with the Taliban, the four militant members will return to the battlefield. What do you think? Did the Obama administration put us all in jeopardy? 
2	Michelle Obama Facing Massive New Lawsuit For Secretive Family Outing According to recent reports, Judicial Watch has just filed a lawsuit against the federal government for failing to disclose just how much taxpayers spent on the Obamas family outing to Africa. During the trip, the family went on a safari and several other costly outings. According to WND, the suit requests records for the travel expenses the family picked up on the six day trip to South Africa and Botswana. The White House has a few weeks to respond. How much did the American people spend to send the First Lady on a family outing in Africa? Thats what we want to know, claims Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. On the surface, the trip seems to have been totally unnecessary and was as much an excuse for the Obama family to go on a safari as it was a mission intended to advance the nations business in Africa. Yes, you heard that right. The professed purpose of Mrs. Obamas trip was to encourage young people living in South Africa and Botswana to get involved in national affairs, the lawsuit against the first Lady reeds. The First Ladys remarks focused on education, health and wellness issues. However, accompanied by her daughters Malia and Sasha, her mother Marian Robinson, and her niece and nephew, Leslie and Avery Robinson, the trip also included such tourist events as visits to historical landmarks and museums. One source in the White House claims that the trip cost an estimated $430,000. What do you think? Are you sick of the Obamas taking lavish vacations at our expense?

2	Michelle Obamas Meltdown In Response To A Simple Question [VIDEO] Michelle Obama has made herself an easy target for the media, given her tendency to go to extremes and push her own agenda on America. Recently, one reporter asked a single question that left the First Lady speechless. It is no secret that Michelle has been consistently pushing her healthy eating program on Americans. She has faced criticism from those who refuse to be a part of the program, given low success rates for children and significantly increased costs. The reporter decided to ask Michelle is the program should affect those receiving food stamps, or if the food stamp program should be adapted to accommodate those to receive access to healthier foods. After several attempts at a response, it was blatantly clear that the government should have no part in forcing people to purchase certain foods. Watch the interaction below and tell us what you think.

2	Benjamin Watson Just Smacked Down The Supreme Court With One Thing The Dont Realize About Marriage In a Facebook post that has now gone viral, football played Benjamin Watson just shared his thoughts regarding the recent Supreme Court ruling on Gay Marriage. The post spoke volumes, and has received overwhelming support from Christians everywhere. Read it below and tell us what you think. Do you support Watson? The pressure of conformity is overwhelming at times. In light of the recent court interpretation of the constitution, the pressure is more intense than ever. Compassion, an important virtue, for our fellow man compels us to consider the feelings, plight, and desires of others in controversial times. Like a deceptive undertow along the seashore, though, emotions can sometimes carry us away, appealing to our human longing to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. A movement, a cause, or a certain political position, give us a chance to make our mark, to make our difference and to be noticed among the generation. With emotions and tempers flaring, venom and accusations in the air, and the battle lines being drawn more clearly each passing moment, I find it of utmost importance, now more than ever, to return to truth. Throughout this process, the years long debate to redefine marriage, I regret that I have had more disdain for those who engage in a same sex attraction lifestyle than I have had for those who engage in a number of other outright violations of the Word of God like drunkenness, idolatry, or adultery (1 Corinthians 6). It is a constant battle to extend the same grace to those I struggle to understand as to those whos sin strongholds I can identify with. It is NOT my job to hate, disparage, or condemn anyone. I lack a hell to send anyone to, or an achieved righteousness by my own merit from which I can justifiably fire accusatory arrows at anyone. It IS my job, however, to hold truth in its proper place and to call myself and others to the standards set forth in Gods word, the only absolute in a world of opinion. Relative morality is as capricious as the wind, leaving each generation to do what is right in their own eyes, while unknowingly undermining the exact concept of right that they are so desperately trying to attain. Instead of shooting for the mark, we lower it, doing what is good for us at the time, effectually creating our own truth, which when taken to its logical conclusion is always problematic. We, as a nation, have continued our course into dangerous waters, shaking our fist and becoming our own gods. This individual Supreme Court ruling is not the cause, but simply evidence of how far weve gradually drifted. The moral decay of America is not unlike moral decay in my own life, as I continually battle against self rule. Its a gradual decline. The tire usually doesnt spontaneously blow out. No, its an aggravating slow leak, that needs constant refilling of air, until eventually, busyness takes precedence and the now unattended to tire is completely flat. Lifes proverbial morality tire responds in much the same way. Its neglecting to read and respect the Bible. Its listening to or watching things that arent uplifting. Its allowing myself a second look. Its removing prayer from schools and our homes. Its legalizing the murder of babies in the womb. Its glorifying promiscuity and reducing sex to a simple physical animalistic act. Its objectifying woman and praising the playa. Its condoning divorce. Its standing by in silence. Its ignoring the promptings of the Spirit. Its Christians, myself included, not living like Christians. Love truly IS the greatest gift of all. It never fails and covers a multitude of sins. Ultimately Love DOES Win. But Love wins us with compassion, not endorsement. Love wins us with sacrifice, not self gain. Love wins with understanding, not compromise. Love wins with brokenness over sin, not jealous anger because we lost. Love wins with adherence to truth no matter the cost because love cares about the well being and not necessarily the HAPPINESS of its subjects. Above all else we must love or neighbors as ourselves, yet we can not fully do this unless we love God first. (Mark 13:30,31) Today, I am not disappointed because of the possible restrictions on religious exercise, the inevitable categorization of biblical teaching as hate speech and pastors as bigots, the shift in American culture, its implications and the judicial and legislative process that has brought us to this point. I am, however, saddened because of the corporate celebration and glorification of sin which renders us separated from our Creator, exposed to the natural consequences of our actions and in desperate need of a spiritual renewal and revival. Though, Ive had acquaintances from time to time, I do not have many friends who openly identify as gay. Last year an NFL player, told the world he was in a relationship with another man. While the television display was less than tasteful, after hearing his story, I experienced much internal conflict with my feelings on the subject in light of my convictions. Ironically we played his team in the preseason and I encountered him again at an awards show the next year. In putting a face with a name, assigning tangible humanity to this controversial and difficult issue my heart in some small way understood the struggle for those who care deeply about their friends and family who have chosen this lifestyle. I realized my shortcomings in this area, understanding that these relational and romantic bonds, although different from mine, are just as strong. I was wrong and was compelled to grow in my compassion and love for these individuals. In spite of how we feel, though, God created one man and one woman, joining them together as an earthly picture of Christ and his bride, the church. Though we fall short, THIS is marriage, and there is no alternative. While man governs the practice of this institution it is and will forever be divine in origin. The challenge is to never compromise the truth but to speak the truth in love and compassion understanding that we all stand before a just God in need of his grace and forgiveness. It is not a time to be frustrated about the outcome, as if we can control a world that God gave free will, but to instead celebrate the fact that He is still on the throne, that the Gospel always will be our saving grace, and that because of His mercy, Love Wins. 
2	She Refused To Stand For The National Anthem, And Then This Happened [VIDEO] Throughout his presidency, Barack Obama has based his platform for Muslim refugees on the idea that their only goal is to assimilate to our culture. In doing so, he continues to ignore that weve seen a worldwide disrespect for Western culture at the hands of many of these migrants. In a recent video reported by The Gateway Pundit, footage shows a gang of Muslim men and women refusing to stand for our National Anthem as it plays before a sporting event.

Now, were starting to see similar characteristics from Michelle, especially when it comes to her Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act. The bill has been known to go to extremes to control what Americas children are eating throughout the school day. Opposition to the restrictions has grown, and a few school districts have rejected her plan entirely. Not only does the plan significantly raise costs for school, it also leaves children hungryas many students are refusing to eat the foods designated. Now, according to a report from WND, two more school districts have decided to abandon the lunch plan. Michelles plan is starting to be revealed more clearly as a failure, and a new report on the regulations show that her bill has no only increased cafeteria costs, [but also has] resulted in a drastic drop in the number of participating students. What do you think? Are the Obamas going too far?

3	DHS estimates 136 snitch visa applications per year; could allow terrorists and criminals into U.S.Madison Ruppert, Contributor In the announcement, published by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) branch of the massive DHS, the USCIS stated that it is looking for public comment on the application form until March 26. The form is used by law enforcement to request an S Visa to what Government Security News Magazine calls either an alien witness or an informant who promises to assist in an investigation by law enforcement authorities against a criminal organization or a terrorist group, but who otherwise would be ineligible to enter the United States. One box allows law enforcement to identify if the individual will be placed in danger either in the U.S. or abroad as a result of acting as an informant while another box says, If the alien poses a danger, the danger posed by the alien is outweighed by the assistance the alien will furnish. The application, which is officially known as Form I-854, has a checklist of over 30 reasons why the individual would ordinarily be considered inadmissible. Some of the most unbelievable reasons for inadmissibility for which an American law enforcement official can seek a waiver include (all copied verbatim from the form): There is also the mysterious Other check box which would, potentially, open the door to anyone and everyone regardless of the most heinous crimes committed. Then again, the checklist already includes some of the most reprehensible criminal acts one can imagine. While DHS estimates that 136 will be applied for, there are actually 250 S Visas available. 200 S-5 visas are available per year for aliens who possess supposedly critical and reliable information about a criminal organization or enterprise. 50 S-6 visas are available per year for aliens who can supposedly provide information about a terrorist organization, enterprise or operation. S Visas can actually be obtained for people already in the U.S. facing deportation. Applications may be submitted for a person outside the United States or a person already in the country but facing deportation, states a fact sheet published by Ansari Law Firm of Austin, Texas, which focuses on immigration and nationality law. According to the Federal Register posting, an estimated 578 hours per year are spent processing S Visas, based on the estimated 136 applications. Personally, I find it pretty amazing that our government would make it abundantly clear that they indeed can allow terrorists entry into the United States while claiming that Americans must give up their right to privacy, right to trial and right to know what our government is doing in the name of fighting terrorism. Ultimately, it really should not be that surprising since Michael Leiter of the National Counterterrorism Center revealed in his testimony before the Senate in 2010 that the U.S. government does indeed allow individuals on the terrorist watch list to enter the United States. I will tell you that when people come to the country, if they are on the watch list, it is because we have generally made the choice that we want them here in the country for some reason or another, Leiter said. Leiter said that of the hundreds of thousands of people on the terror watch list, It would have been a very large number eligible to come in, whether or not they were ultimately turned away at the borderI cant give you that number. This apparently unregulated practice might be even more absurd than the practice of issuing S Visas while the government continues to promote the alleged threat posed by terrorism.

3	7 Lies From Obamas Last State of the Union Address that the Media is IgnoringBy Andrew Emett Let me start with the economy and a basic fact, Obama stated on Tuesday. The United States of America right now has the strongest, most durable economy in the world. Compared to Chinas recent economic instability and Russias rampant military spending, the U.S. economy appears slightly more stable while continuing to recover from the 2008 financial crisis. But according to the U.S. National Debt Clock, the U.S. National Debt currently stands at more than $18.8 trillion with federal spending continuing to rise. Its not too much of a stretch to say some of the only people in America who are going to work the same job in the same place with a health and a retirement package for 30 years are sitting in this chamber, Obama momentarily paused as arrogant laughter and adulation filled the room. For everyone else, especially folks in their 40s and 50s, saving for retirement or bouncing back from job loss has gotten a lot tougher. While briefly addressing wealth inequality and the necessity of immediate campaign finance reform, the president also called for strengthening Social Security and Medicare programs. Praising Vice President Joe Biden for his work with cancer research, Obama suggested leading a path toward obtaining a cure for cancer. For the loved ones weve all lost, Obama declared. For the families that we can still save, lets make America the country that cures cancer for once and for all. What do you say, Joe? According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), cannabis has been studied in the clinic and found that it may have benefits in treating the symptoms of cancer and the side effects of cancer therapies. Cannabis has also been shown to kill cancer cells in the laboratory. Although the FDA has approved two cannabinoids (dronabinol and nabilone) for the prevention and treatment of chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting, the FDA still has not approved cannabis as a cancer treatment. While supporting the need for more scientific research on cannabinoids, the American Cancer Society recognizes the necessity for better and more effective therapies that can overcome the often debilitating side effects of cancer and its treatment. The Society also believes that the classification of marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration imposes numerous conditions on researchers and deters scientific study of cannabinoids. Federal officials should examine options consistent with federal law for enabling more scientific study on marijuana. Although cancer researchers have found that cannabis kills cancer cells, the labeling of marijuana as a Schedule I drug, classified as dangerous as heroin or meth, has prevented further research into a possible cure.Instead of pledging millions of taxpayer dollars to big pharma, the federal government could simply stop caging people for possessing this amazing plant and let doctors and scientists experiment with its potential to cure cancer. Changing the subject to national security, Obama stated, Now as someone who every day receives an intelligence briefing, I know this is a dangerous time. On September 10, 2012, an op-ed from The Washington Post accused the president of missing over half of his daily intelligence meetings. Two days later, the Post published a second op-ed by another opinion writer claiming Obama had not missed more than half of his intelligence briefings because the president no longer has daily intelligence meetings. Priority number one is protecting the American people and going after terrorist networks, Obama continued, while ignoring the fact that the U.S. has a history of arming and funding terrorist organizations. An investigation by renowned journalist Seymour Hersh recently uncovered that the CIA secretly armed and funded several extremist groups, including Jabhat al-Nusra and ISIS, in an attempt to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Assad. With nearly 10,000 air strikes, were taking out their leadership, their oil, their training camps, their weapons, Obama stated, while failing to include the bombings of hospitals, weddings, tribal council meetings, and at least eight U.S. citizens with no concern for due process or a constitutionally mandated fair trial. The Obama administration is also responsible for allowing the CIA to deploy drone strikes against a Yemeni wedding and a Pakistani tribal council meeting with total impunity. On October 3, 2015, a U.S. airstrike killed at least 20 patients and MSF staff at a hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, occupied by the group Mdecins Sans Frontires (MSF), the French charitable organization, Doctors Without Borders. On January 10, Saudi-led coalition forces bombed another MSF-supported hospital in Yemen, killing at least five people. When you come after Americans, we go after you, Obama asserted after invoking the missing corpse of Osama bin Laden. And it may take time, but we have long memories and our reach has no limits. That statement is factually inaccurate. Far from omnipotent, the U.S. government has failed to capture its countless enemies. According to CIA agent, Frank Sturges, the Agency failed on numerous occasions to assassinate Fidel Castro. NSA whistleblower hero, and enemy of the state, Edward Snowden continues to reside at an undisclosed location in Moscow. And the Justice Department has failed to extradite Julian Assange in connection with Chelsea Mannings conviction. Returning to the subject of the economy, Obama stated, Thats how we forged a Trans-Pacific Partnership to open markets and protect workers and the environment and advance American leadership in Asia. It cuts 18,000 taxes on products made in America, which will then support more good jobs here in America. With TPP, China does not set the rules in that region. We do. Buried within the TPP is a provision that would undermine U.S. sovereignty in favor of multinational corporations. Instead of protecting workers and the environment, the provision allows foreign corporations to bypass U.S. courts if they are caught breaking the law. If the company manufactured an illegal toxic chemical responsible for poisoning its employees and contaminating the local environment, the American taxpayers would be held responsible for paying the damages. Immediately following the State of the Union address, MSF Executive Director Jason Cone responded, The international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Mdecins Sans Frontires (MSF) is gravely concerned about the impact that the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) will have on access to medicines around the world. In his comments on the TPP tonight, the President continued to promote a trade deal that will export the policies that have made medicines unaffordable in the U.S. to close to half a billion people around the world. The TPP will lock-in high, unsustainable drug prices, delay the availability of price-lowering generic medicines, and price much-needed medical care out of the reach of millions of people, Cone wrote. MSF continues to urge the US government to remove harmful provisions for access to medicines from the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement before it is too late. If these provisions are not removed, the TPP will be the most damaging trade agreement ever for access to medicines, Cone concluded. Instead of blowing hot air to a room of his elite peers for an hour, Obama could have saved time and done the US and the rest of the world a favor by simply firing everyone and then quitting. Andrew Emett writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com Your headline writer appears to have overstepped the story. Most of these are obviously not lies. How is that Brian H? From what I can see the only one that isnt a lie is the first quote about the economy. And at best I would say this is misinformation because the whole worlds economy is jacked and its all gona come crashing down. please, do inform us how this is going to happen, because clearly you are informed for a much greater degree than us simple folk. You never have to worry about any politicians telling the truth at the federal level. Deception and lies should always be the assumption. Satan can never tell the truth unless doing so conceals a greater lie.

They havent been able to plow my street yet and the snow drifts have to be two feet high in some places, so I dont really think theres any way for me to make it in, said an email sent from the man who spent 45 minutes attempting to dislodge his car from a snowbank and who routinely fabricates stories. On top of that, the buses dont seem to be running in my area, or else I definitely would have been in by now. This is really a mess. Im so sorry, everyone. Wish I could be there. Carlson also confirmed that the weather had left his apartments electricity somewhat spotty, preventing the unrepentant phony from doing any work from home.

The Pentagon stated they do not know at this time whether al Shehri's intent was to place the Star Wars costumes on babies or small dogs, but that either could have been devastatingly cute. Even more frightening, the raid also produced a detailed plan for kidnapping Justin Bieber. As a safety precaution, Pentagon officials immediately buried Bieber in a concrete casket six miles below the earth's surface.

3	U.S. Continues Descent Toward Third World Status; Loses Top 10 Position Among Most Prosperous CountriesAs much of the zombie-like public is still focused on which two of the political hack parties are going to offer a better direction for the future, the only direction that the U.S. is currently (and consistently) headed is directly into the Third World. For those with the means, skills, and a supportive structure of family and friends, now might be the time to seriously consider leaving America for brighter shores to escape Americas decline. Or at least consider offshore banking to preserve your assets. The battle for freedom is global, and America has gone rogue, therefore one should not feel unpatriotic for fulfilling their desire for freedom elsewhere. For those who value entrepreneurship, innovation, self-sufficiency, basic human rights and limited government, all of the facts point to America being a very dangerous place indeed.

2	Obamas EPA Dumps Millions Of Gallons THIS Into Colorado River The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been under immense scrutiny this week after they accidentally spilled a million gallons of toxic waste into the Animas River in Colorado. In an effort to stop a small leak of acidic waste water from the Red and Bonita mines, they actually put the environment and human health at risk. The plan was originally to install a bulkhead in the mining tunnel, but the machinery triggered the release of wastewater containing several heavy metals, creating the orange color. The toxic water was first spotted in Durango Colorado, stretching all the way to Farmington, New Mexico. According to the Denver Post, residents gathered along the Animas River to watch as the blue waters turned a thick, radiant orange and yellow. That was 34 full hours after the spill had been initiated. The EPA has taken full responsibility for the event, but has not yet addressed the potential risks and impacts on the lake or local residents. What do you think about the incident? Should the EPA be punished?

Or at least that appears to be the case for Barack Obama, whose ex-girlfriends have decided to write a tell-all book about their past relationships with the President. One of the women that decided to speak up was an Australian woman named Genevieve Cook. She was Obamas most serious girlfriend, who dated him right before Michelle and actually lived with him. During their relationship, she kept a diary which reveals some interesting insight into the presidents history. According to her writings, Genevieve recognized in her relationship some characteristics that Obama has that weve seen in his presidency today. She tells him that he is distant, claiming you carefully filter everything in your mind a heart. Meaning that the president has always operated under a layer of secrecylikely to hide the fact that he has a past hed rather not share. Genevieve goes on to predict that Obama will end up marrying someone like Michelle. As early as 1984, Genevieve wrote that he would marry a black woman who is also a fighter. What do you think? Would you buy the book?

Ive been sitting on this part of the couch for 40 years, and Ill be damned if some foreigner thinks he can sit down right here where my father sat, and my grandfather before him, survey respondent Earl Lockwood of Tulsa, OK said. I earned this spot. The poll also found that a majority of Americans support the recently enacted Arizona law requiring immigrants to present proper identification before calling dibs on a particular seat. 
3	Syrian Military Liberates Strategic Supply RouteBrandon Turbeville As a Syrian army spokesman stated to the press: This morning units from our armed forces succeeded in taking control of the town of Qara in Damascus province. [] This latest success is a continuation of the successes that our heroic armed forces are achieving in their battle against terrorism. [] A photo posted by Syrian Perspective appears to show a large celebration by Qara citizens at the liberation of the village. Syrian military soldiers are said to be focused now on the dismantling of IEDs and other explosive devices left behind by the death squads for the purpose of terrorizing the Syrian military and the Syrian people. The liberation of Qara is a strategic victory both due to its location and due to the fact that it has acted as an outpost of a death squad supply route since the terrorists overran the village nearly a year ago. Qara is located about 60 miles north of Damascus and close to the Lebanese border. It is also located in between Damascus and Aleppo and on the road which links the capitol to the coast. After having such an important supply route cut by the Syrian Army, the death squad units occupying the suburbs surrounding Damascus will now be under even more pressure as the Syrian military assault on these areas continue. Indeed, the liberation of Qara goes quite a long way in the direction of cutting off critical supplies and reinforcements to the death squads operating in a number of different areas. According to Syrian Perspective, the Syrian military has made significant gains in the town of Al-Sahl and is poised to announce the liberation of that town very soon. Al-Sahl is located in the Damascus governate and is in between Damascus and Qara though slightly west of both. The liberation of Qara stands as yet another strategic victory which spells clear defeat for the foreign-backed death squadsif the Syrian military and the Assad government are able to continue their current course of liberation strategy.

Unless, of course, youre Oprah Winfrey. Oprah has recently revealed that as she became richer, people began asking her for money. Shocking right? This is what I find, people ask for money based on what they think you have, Winfrey told TMZ. So when I was making $22,000 a year, people always needed $50. Then when I moved to $50,000 a year, people always needed $500. Now, nobody needs anything less than $50,000. Today, Oprah is second on Forbes list of 100 power celebrities. She brings in millions from a variety of sources, including her cable network OWN, which earned $77 million last year alone. 
1	Although he has already built a reputation as one of the most offensive players in the game, White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski said Monday that he will put on his extremely smug game-face on Opening Day and leave it on for the rest of the season. 'I think my antics in the postseason proved to my critics that I'm more than just a one-dimensional jackass,' said Pierzynski, who trailed only Barry Bonds and Milton Bradley in all offensiveness categories in 2005. 'Whether it means 'accidentally' tripping an opposing player right before he crosses home plate or sliding cleats-up into first base on a routine groundout, I am going to focus especially hard on the 'irritating' and 'aggravating' aspects of my game this year. By the end of the season, I'll finally have lost the respect of my coaches, teammates, and fellow major-leaguers.' Pierzynski's comments drew the ire of Yankee offensive force Gary Sheffield, who vehemently argued that he is not only the most offensive player in the game, but that his reactionary style of play will earn him a spot on The Sporting News' 2006 All-Defensive Team.

2	13 States Come Together To Stop Obama Immediately According to recent reports, 13 states have now condemned Barack Obamas transgender-friendly bathroom policies, demanding that gender-confused men and women be allowed in showers and locker rooms in all public places. The debate began in North California, where the states new HB2 law, requiring people to use restrooms consistent with their biological sex, was challenged by the Justice Department. North Carolina quickly filed a lawsuit against them for executive overreach. That same week, Obama issued a letter to all public schools, arguing that they must allow transgender students and staff to use whichever restroom they please. Needless to say, North Carolina does not stand alone in their outrage. Now, a dozen states have joined in the movement, defending North Carolina and the states rights to set these guidelines themselves. You picked the wrong state to start this fight with, Sen. Ralph Hise commented at the GOP convention in Greensboro. Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas was among the first to show his support, tweeting: I announced today that Texas is fighting this. Obama cant rewrite the Civil Rights Act. Hes not the King. Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutichinson also tweeted to the school districts in his state, asking them to disregard Obamas guidance on gender identification. Alabama called Obama absurd. Other states to support the measure are: West Virginia, Arizona, Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Utah, and Maine. What do you think of this measure? 
3	Media Worried Too Many Americans Will Question Legitimacy of 2016 ElectionBy Nick Bernabe But the corporate media has come out in defense of Americas democracy and political elites are defending the system, too. In the wake of Trumps recent rhetoric regarding the rigged system, the ruling class of the United States is peddling the fiction that somehow Trumps irresponsible sensationalism is solely to blame for the newfound feelings of illegitimacy plaguing our elections. Take, for example, Mondays POLITICO piece entitled What if Trump wont accept defeat?: Trumps [rigged election] words are having an effect. Just 38 percent of Trump supporters believe their votes will be counted accurately, and only 49 percent of all registered voters are very confident their votes will be tabulated without error, according to a Pew Research survey last week. You see, according to the corporate media, the only reason Americans think their elections are rigged in one way or another is because Trumpsaid so. It has nothing to do with the explosive DNC email leaks that showed the Democrats manipulated the corporate media in favor of Hillary Clinton. It has nothing to do with superdelegates who get to override the voters. It has nothing to do with the Republican establishment choosing to shut down Colorados primary, handing all the delegates to Ted Cruz. It has nothing to do with now-former DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz admitting the role of superdelegates is to fend off grassroots political challengers. It also must have nothing to do with an RNC committee member openly wondering why the Republican Party has primary elections to begin with since the party chooses the nomineeanyway not the voters. That makes sense, right? And while Bernie Sanders fades into the matrix with his endorsement of Hillary Clinton andrecent decision to hit the campaign trail for her, many of his supporters feel the same way Trump supporters feel. The Democratic primary was rife with inconsistencies, voter suppression, andsuspect voting machines all of which have culminated into several high-profile lawsuits alleging wrongdoing by the DNC. Coincidentally, Shawn Lucas, the man who was spearheading one of the lawsuits, was recentlyfound dead on his bathroom floor. But this is all Trumps fault, right? Ormaybe Russias? But rest assured, as POLITICO notes, even though voting inconsistencies became famous in the 2000 Bush v. Gore presidential election, Gore was a good boy and didnt bother questioning the findings. He did the right thing and conceded defeat despite vocal cries from his ardent supporters that he contest the election. Whats interesting is that according to the Emmy-nominated HBOdocumentaryHacking Democracy, which followed the trail of investigators in Florida in an attempt to get to the bottom of the voter inconsistencies, the Gore campaign was made aware of verifiable issues with the vote counts but still encouraged the investigators to drop their cause and shut up. They were silenced by the candidate they were trying to help. This is what Trump should do if there are any questionable results in November, POLITICOsuggests. And boy, does Trump hate the media. He says it all the time. So much so that POLITICO thinks Trump could single-handedly do irreparable damage to the institution of mainstream media this election. This is yet another fiction being peddled by the self-serving corporate media. Instead of owning up to its waning trust among the general public, they would rather play the blame game. You see, long before Trump hit the 2016 political circuit, Americans had already started to lose trustin the corporate media. In September of 2014, Anti-Media reported, Americans trust in the media had reached an all-time low. As of October of 2015, only 7 percent of the country had a great deal of trust in the mainstream media but this must be Trumps fault. Or maybe we can pin this on Russia, too. Another recent development that in my opinion doesnt prove the elections are rigged per se but rather, that they are illegitimate is the overwhelmingly small turnout of voters who nominated both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. The two of them combined only attracted nine percent of the general public to vote for them in the primaries, meaning less than a tenth of the U.S. population anointed the nominees, one of whom will eventually be ruling over all Americans. Americans are hardly excited to get out and vote in elections nowadays possibly because after years of believing unrepresentative politicians empty promises, they think the whole process has become futile. But none of this really matters, anyway, since the U.S. is no longer a democracy or constitutional republic. Its an oligarchy. In short, as a 2014 Princeton University study concluded, economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence. The results provide substantial support for theories of Economic-Elite Domination and for theories of Biased Pluralism, but not for theories of Majoritarian Electoral Democracy or Majoritarian Pluralism. But again, as POLITICO notes, its not the actions of the oligarchy or the corporate media that have led voters to question the legitimacy of the system its Trumps words. [M]any Republicans [elites] fear that Trumps efforts to diminish peoples confidence in mainstream media, fair elections and politics itself will have a lasting impact, POLITICO observes. The damage this is going to do to various institutions is going to be long term, said Charlie Sykes, a prominent conservative radio host in Milwaukee who has been one of the countrys most outspoken and consistent anti-Trump voices. How do you restore civil discourse after all of this? He is a postmodern authoritarian whos in the process of delegitimizing every institution the media, the ballot box that can be a check on him. But what if its the oligarchic political system and the corporate media that have delegitimized themselves, and not some manufactured Trump conspiracy that has suddenly turned half the country into skeptical anti-establishment rebels? Maybe the corporate medias collusion with the corporate government is the real conspiracy. Or maybe we should stop complaining and just blame Russia and Julian Assange that seems a lot more convenient to the New York Times.

If you spot a typo, email edits@theantimedia.org. I know it moral and ethical to abstain from evil. I have no moral, or choose having no confidence in false authorities to govern. My vote is for America. I vote for America, yet not the one we have presently. In my humbled view, we need to get America back prior to the mid 1920s to mid 1930s. The point being we need to repeal having to pay taxes, even before we paid taxes, we had schools, hospitals, roads, food, housing, health care. Of course, taxation is only one aspect of the cumulative evil/s foisted on America. We need to start by getting rid of the Zio bankster owned Fed and its collection agency the IRS. Nothing short of this will give America a chance. Nothing will change until we get rid of the Rothschild owned Fed and issue our own debt-free currency. Most people dont understand that the Fed is privately held not even American-owned So you saying the holier than thou wing is willing to abstain from voting to put the greater evil in power. Do you really believe your own BS? No, that is not what I am saying at all despite your effort suggesting that as the case. What I am saying is the system has become so corrupted to its very core that I no longer have confidence in it and refuse consenting to evil at all, even if offered an illusion of a choice. No matter your vote, my vote, those with power will do whatever is needed to retain power, money and their greed. That is not belief, it is knowing what it is from seeing it for what it is. Do you really believe the BS that your vote counts? (or that they even count your vote?) LOL After 20 years of never voting for a winning candidate or proposition, I came to the conclusion that my vote was meaningless and stopped voting. I would like to see a poll conducted to see how many other people feel the same way. Mark Twain knew and stated that if voting made any difference, would they let you do it? Its been a dog and pony show to select one side of a coin. More Americans are waking up to the fact that our entire political process is nothing more than a scam designed to let us think this nation is a republic The fact is we are controlled by Zio banksters and wealthy corporate oligarchs whose aim is to keep us dumbed down and enslaved under their Satanic agenda of world domination and control. Lets face it, they plan on stealing this election. They will use all the dirty tricks that they used to steal nomination from Bernie and then some. They will even have fake exit polls. Trump is way ahead right now with 60-70% if you look at non-MSM polls. What would happen if we all wore red to the polls? If 70% of the voters are wearing red its going to show up in all the pictures and media coverage. If you dont want to wear red all day, take a red t-shirt along and wear it over your regular clothes when you go to vote. Lets have a color revolution against the people who ionvented color revolutions No sane person would elect and re-elect most of the people that are the bad guys. The vote HAS to be rigged. Who would re-elect Pelosi and her ilk? No one sane. If Hillary gets installed.Im done. only the bigots will question the legitimacy because of their denial of what Trump really is The machines are overly complicated programing the fractal decimal sure can be counted any way the programmer is instructed. Elections have been rigged easily since 2000. 
3	DOJ Issues Catalog of Albuquerque PD Constitutional ViolationsBy Joe Wright The APD also known by residents as Another Person Dead has been making the news with increased frequency following a rash of suspicious deaths, as well as the blatant execution of a homeless man, James M. Boyd, whom they set upon for illegal camping. You can see the list of criminals involved in that execution here. That event ratcheted up residents distaste for their peacekeepers and saw many take to the streets in protest. Not to be outdone, the APD shot another man under suspicious circumstances just hours later. More protests ensued which led to a near riot, with police unloading tear gas and making arrests to quell the demonstrations. Perhaps the most disturbing aspect to the actions of the APD are the statements made by APD leadership before and after this recent spate of violence. As Lily Dane reported, despite an already long list of assaults on citizens of Albuquerque, the director of the Law Enforcement Academy, Jack Jones, issued a training program that clearly urges less restraint when confronting the public, setting up an adversarial relationship embedded into police culture: Last July, (Phillip) Gallegos (a former instructor) was fired for insubordination after he refused to teach new cadets some of the firearms training Jones wanted to implement: The statement that he made to us [instructors] in a [January 2013] meeting was, No, I want you guys teaching these guys how to make a car stop with a bullet. Gallegos said, This is the thing why are you shooting at a car? You should be shooting at the individual that is shooting at you. Jones tried to justify that part of the training like this: We want them to see that if theres a threat thats inside a vehicle and they need to shoot at it, what happens to that round. Theyre wearing a gun and a badge protecting you [the public] against the violence. Dont you think they should be prepared for the most violent encounter that they can come up against? (Source) To make matters worse, the APD would not release the training manual in question to be opened for scrutiny. Moreover, instead of perhaps one rogue director, the statements made by Chief Gordon Eden following the outrageous actions that were caught on video in the execution of Boyd sounded like a glowing endorsement for further similar action: Chief Eden called the shooting justified at the news conference, saying officers used non-lethal force first and that there was a direct threat made at an unarmed K9 officer. According to Chief Eden, Boyd was less than eight feet from the unarmed canine officer. Actually if you watch the video tape, all the less than lethal devices were in fact deployed. It was when the canine officer was down directing the canine dog that the suspect pulled out the two knives and directed a threat to the canine officer who had no weapons drawn. He was handling the dog, Chief Eden said. News 13 asked Chief Eden directly, do you believe this was a justified shooting? Chief Eden responded, Yes, if you follow case law, Garner versus Tennessee, there was directed threat to an officer. (source) Apparently all of this has become too much even for a morally compromised Justice Department that routinely overlooks crimes of its own of even greater magnitude. A formal probe into the APD was launched in 2012 and has finally resulted in the conclusions discussed in the video below. A 40-page evaluation shows conclusively that a wide range of civil liberties violations have taken place in Albuquerque. Also highlighted is how trigger happy this particular department has become, resulting in roughly the same number of deadly officer-involved shootings as New York City which stands at 15 times the population of Albuquerque. Furthermore, the letter to Mayor Berry acknowledges that the APD is guilty beyond just a few highly publicized cases, but have engaged in an entrenched pattern of abusive behavior: We write to report the findings of the Department of Justices civil investigation of the Albuquerque Police Department (APD or the department). Our investigation focused on allegations of use of excessive force by APD officers under the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, 42 U.S.C. 14141 (Section 14141). Section 14141 makes it unlawful for government entities, such as the City of Albuquerque and APD, to engage in a pattern or practice of conduct by law enforcement officers that deprives individuals of rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States. The investigation was conducted jointly by the Civil Rights Division and the United States Attorneys Office for the District of New Mexico. This letter is separate from, and does not address, any federal criminal investigation that may be conducted by the Department of Justice. Based on our investigation, we have reasonable cause to believe that APD engages in a pattern or practice of use of excessive force, including deadly force, in violation of the Fourth Amendment and Section 14141. Our investigation included a comprehensive review of APDs operations and the Citys oversight systems. We have determined that structural and systemic deficienciesincluding insufficient oversight, inadequate training, and ineffective policies contribute to the use of unreasonable force. At the conclusion of this letter, we outline the remedial measures that we believe are necessary to ensure that force is used in accordance with the Constitution. In some instances, these recommendations build on measures and initiatives that are already underway within the department. The violations of the APD are enumerated and make the following points clear: Given this comprehensive list of just about every misconduct possible (and the details given about the points above are even worse), the final list of DOJ recommendations focus on additional training as well as better citizen oversight, which is often the light slap on the wrist that is issued for letting the situation get so far out of control that the DOJ needs to become involved in the first place. The DOJ does issue a final obligatory threat in case the APD cannot rein itself in: However, if we cannot reach an appropriate resolution, Section 14141 authorizes the Department of Justice to file a civil lawsuit to eliminate the pattern or practice of police misconduct. 42 U.S.C. 14141. Citizens of Albuquerque should make it clear that any lawsuits (and payouts) should not come from the taxpayers who have already paid for this mockery of a police department, but will file lawsuits against all of the individuals who have enabled and directly taken part in this catalog of criminality. Video transcript and research links posted below: Officers used deadly forces against people who posed a minimal threat, including individuals who posed a threat only to themselves or who were unarmed. The investigation started in 2012, but problems at the APD grabbed headlines last month when officers shot and killed James Boyd, a mentally unstable homeless man camping outside the city. According to the report, from 2011 to 2012, Albuquerque saw 25 deadly officer-involved shootings which was the same number seen in New York City, which is fifteen times larger. Twenty fatal incidents from 2009-2012 are now considered unconstitutional. Samuels says the investigation included hundreds of hours of police ride-alongs, interviews, meetings with city officials and examination of department documents. Many of the allegations focus on the APDs treatment of the mentally ill. Thats an area where Albuquerque mayor Richard Berry says officer training can be improved. (Via USA Today) But its Berry who has received the brunt of the criticism. According to the Albuquerque Journal, citizens blame his inaction for years of police brutality. During a town hall meeting earlier this week concerning the Police Department, Berry was absent. The Journal writes People went to the council meeting to talk to the citys leaders, and the top city leader sent them a message that he was too busy to listen to them. The Departments report recommends an overhaul of the APDs Internal Affairs division, training focused on non-lethal force and a more powerful citizen oversight committee. Recently by Joe Wright: 
2	Texas Passes New Law That Allows Permit Holders To Open Carry In a move that directly defies President Obamas efforts to enact stricter control laws, Texas just ruled that permit holders will be allowed to open carry. The decision makes the Lone Star State the 45th to allow this. Handguns have been banned in public since the Civil War, although Texas already allows residents to carry rifles and shotguns. That changed at the beginning of the year, and positioned Texas as the largest state to sanction open carry. California, Florida, Illinois, New York and South Carolina are still banning this right for gun owners. Our ultimate goal will always be constitutional carry, activists on Open Carry Texas wrote. If you can legally own and purchase a gun, you should be able to legally carry that gun without begging for government permission in the form of a license and 2nd Amendment tax. In 2014, Texas had nearly 826,000 concealed license holders, making them among the nations highest gun owner states. That number has likely grown over the past year. The new measure will require gun owners to obtain the same license concealed weapons holders have, which will require them to be at least 21 years old, have clean criminal and psychological records, complete a training course, and pass a shooting test. What do you think of the new measure? Do you support Texas decision? 
1	In what is being described as perhaps the most shocking and distasteful moment in broadcast history, the popular primetime television show Criminal Minds is facing heavy criticism today for airing an episode that depicted the act of murder. Needless to say, the millions of viewers who saw, for the first time ever, one human take the life of another Wednesday night were left deeply disturbed, said Stephen Atkinson of the Paley Center for Media, noting that while dozens of shows have made references to murder by either showing characters discover a dead body after the fact or implying a homicide was taking place by playing the sounds of gunshots occurring offscreen, no program had ever been so bold and provocative as to actually portray a cold-blooded killing in its entirety. A few individuals are defending the show in the name of artistic freedom, but it appears that the vast majority of Americans have found the images of a man being gunned down right there on their TV sets to be an inexcusable violation of the rules of common decency. Several key sponsors have already pulled their support from the network, and given how far beyond the pale this truly was, I very much doubt that even an apology from the shows creators will be enough to quell the public backlash. Atkinson said he hopes that, at the very least, the incident will help spark a national dialogue on violence in the media and in American culture at large.

The living-room space just breathes a lot more and has a much greater sense of play ever since I installed the skylight,' Dorner said. 'Natural light also really suffuses the kitchen area and mutes the colors. I think it softens the lines, too.' According to neighbor Alexander Faulk, the Dorner home looks 'exactly the same' as when artificial lights were used.

3	Can Vaccines Be Tied Into Social Engineering, Artificial Intelligence and Transhumanism: A Neuro-musculoskeletal Specialist MD ExplainsBy Catherine J. Frompovich A well-qualified and learned physician, Dr Graham Downing, who is a Neuro-musculoskeletal and Functional Medicine consultant in the UK, was interviewed on The Richie Allen Show posted November 24, 2016 where he dropped scientific information about how vaccines work in pregnant women, their fetuses and in vaccinated infants. Those disclosures are something no one would want not to know, I think, as Dr Downings statements about the published science involved point to why so many vaccines apparently are being invented and will be mandated for all humans. Heres a hint: Vaccines may be part and parcel of the New World Orders agenda for Artificial Intelligence and Transhumanism! As Dr Downing points out, vaccinating pregnant women induces and/or creates inflammation in their bodies and also increases the risk of releasing inflammatory markers in their fetuses/infants. Such releases include phenotypes [the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment (1)]. Arent vaccines an environmental health hazard chock full of neurotoxic ingredients, e.g., ethylmercury (Thimerosal), aluminum, formaldehyde/Formalin, and other chemicals e.g., sodium borate, detergent, polysorbate 80, inset cells, human fetal cells (diploid), [7] etc.? That sounds more like a HazMat situation, or even a toxic waste dump, rather than some prophylactic to improve immunity! Furthermore, Doctor contends that from vaccines theres an increase in inflammatory cells, which also are elevated in the fetal brain where cytokines release glutamates. The prefrontal lobes and the limbic system, which involves human emotions, are affected in fetuses from pregnancy vaccines administered to moms-to-be. According to Dr Downing, vaccines damage the front part of the brain! Aluminum, aka aluminium, a vaccine adjuvant in four formulations, prohibits glutathione production which is needed for detoxification. Furthermore, a pharmaceutical-created-enzyme-deficiency prevents detoxification capabilities for baby. Purkinje cells in the brain also are damaged. Additionally, pregnancy vaccines create physiological distress in pregnant women along with impacting the developing right hemisphere of the male fetus. Gross motor skills in male fetuses are impacted negatively, which coincides with more males being diagnosed with Autism. The right hemisphere of the brain controls social skills. The research is there. Another tool in the AI project is computers, the computer tablet, and their games ostensibly designed to be addictive! They decrease the frontal brain activity, according to Dr Downing. All those computer games on phones and iPads inadvertently have a designed or accidental purpose in addition to being entertainment. Those computer games apparently decrease frontal lobe and the anterior cingulate cortex activity, creating a mess in the brain, he says. One of the scary points Dr Downing makes is that cell phones are creating social problems by messing with human brains. [Microwaves cause electromagnetic frequencies that impact the human brain greatly and their damage is called non-thermal adverse health effects, I offer.] Small children, who are two and three years old using computers-games apparently experience increases in dopamine, a brain neurotransmitter, according to Dr Downing. Psychopaths have high dopamine! Is AI a deliberate agenda or is it for corporate profits, Dr Downing asks. Dr Downing says there are five year and fifteen year goals for AI. The fifteen year goal is to have AI run everything, including humans! You have to listen to his comments about that aspectone word: frightening! To authentic his remarks, Doctor cited a report issued by the White House, A Federal Vision for Future Computing: A Nanotechnology-inspired Grand Challenge. Heres what that 15-page report is about: Create a new type of computer that can proactively interpret and learn from data, solve unfamiliar problems using what it has learned, and operate with the energy efficiency of the human brain. [3] [Basically, its an artificial brain to replace the human brain. Also, they want to create a new soul for humans, too!] Guess whos involved? Collaborating Agencies: Department of Energy (DOE), National Science Foundation (NSF), Department of Defense (DOD), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Intelligence Community (IC) [3] What does that tell you? However, Dr Downing says that Stephen Hawking [4] supposedly is afraid of Artificial Intelligence: potentially more dangerous than nukes. And we will allow that to happen to us and our children? How about artificial intelligence for autistic kids! Ostensibly and according to Dr Downing, todays humans are an obsolete version of Silicon Valleys dream of what humans ought to be. Do you consider yourself obsolete? You can hear Dr Downings scientific discussion about vaccines, pregnancy and the Artificial IntelligenceTranshumanism agenda on the Unborn Babies Being Prepared for AI and Transhumanism through Vaccines and Medicine show in this video. William Casey, former CIA Director (1981), supposedly said, Well know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false. If that were a prognostication of sorts, then what do you think about pregnant women mandated to receive vaccines; 24-hour-old neonates being injected with the Hepatitis B vaccine; and 2, 4 and 6-month-old babies receiving up to nine vaccines at one time in view of what Dr Downing says about brain damage from vaccines? Vaccines are safe is the fraudulent-science-prone CDC and FDAs mantra. Why has autism, first reported in 1943 as Kanner syndrome [5], skyrocketed from one in 10,000/15,000 in the late 1970s to one in 68 [1 in 68 children (1 in 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls)] according to the CDCs 2014 statistics? Recall what Dr Downing said about the brains developing right hemisphere in male fetuses and their gross motor skills when their pregnant mothers received vaccines. There is a great deal of evidence to prove that immunization of children does more harm than good. Dr. J. Anthony Morris, Former Chief Vaccine Control Officer, US FDA The only safe vaccine is one that is never used. Dr. James A. Shannon, MD, Former Director, National Institutes of Health (1955-1968) The incidence of asthma has been found to be five times more common in vaccinated children. The Lancet, 1994. [6] Why is the U.S. Congress stonewalling on its oversight duty concerning HHS, CDC and FDA regarding toxic vaccines and validly-documented, whistleblower-proven, scientific fraud at the CDC [8], and not rescinding the get out of jail free card it gave to vaccine makers in 1986? In this short video, theres more discussion about CDC fraud. Other countries citizens can sue for vaccine damages; why has Congress disenfranchised U.S. citizens of our rights to legal redress for health damages under U.S. product liability laws? Good question?! Lastly: social engineering of vaccines and the false meme being constructed around them November 21, 2016, New York Universitys Langone Medical Center in NYC held its Confronting Vaccine Resistance: Strategies For Success conference, which Dr Suzanne Humphries, MD, of Dissolving Illusions fame attended, took notes and graciously shared with the VAXXED production crews Polly Tommey. Dr Humphries contends the conference was about social engineering of medical professionals regarding the forcing of vaccine mandates upon parents and those who question vaccines. The conference panel included pro-vax luminaries like Paul Offit, MD, co-inventor of a rotavirus vaccine; Senator Richard Pan, MD, the propelling force behind Californias draconian SB277; and Dorit Rubenstein Reiss, PhD, pro-vaccine acolyte [9] among others who waxed profusely about how to sell vaccinesor should I sayforce vaccines onto parents, especially those who have questions and take more of pediatricians and doctors office time! After watching the 45 minute video of Dr Humphries debriefing of that conference, I think she may have been describing what may literally have been a tar and feather anecdotal fest about those who question the supposed safety and fraud in vaccines. By the way, Dr Humphries says that the medical term herd immunity has been nixed in favor of community immunity, which they are pushing to have 99 percent of the population conform to! However, what many question is the FACT that medical doctors who have gone through the indoctrination process of medical school; earned their stripes and degrees; passed the rigors of internship; and have pushed and injected vaccines experience a complete change of mind and heart to the point where, after being confronted by well-informed parents about the dangers of vaccines, even issue letters of apology to their patients. Heres one from Dr Rachael L Ross, MD, PhD. Even the CDC had to issue an apology of sorts about the flu vaccine. In 2014 the warning went like this How many readers know about or have seen the apology that CDC whistleblower William Thompson, PhD, sent to none other than Dr Andrew Wakefield, which is most revealing?, Id say: I apologize again for the price you paid for my dishonesty. [To which Dr Wakefield replied:] I forgive you completely and without any bitterness. [Dr William Thompsons reply:] I know you mean it and i am grateful to know you more personally. Text message between Dr. Andrew Wakefield and Dr. William Thompson, Aug 27, 2014 Now, please take in and enjoy Dr Suzanne Humphries exceptional debriefing about the NYU social engineering vaccine conference. Note whats said about Measles around 36 minutes on the timeline. Just for the record: I, and just about every child in the 1940s when I was in grade school, contracted all the childhood communicable infectious diseases: Measles, German measles, Chickenpoxthe ones I lived through, as did every child in school, on the block where I lived and never was there any scare tactic by the medical profession about death from Measles or any of the other childhood diseases! Moms knew how to treat those diseases without antibiotics and the pharmaceuticals available today. Do you believe that?! As a matter of fact, mothers took their children to homes where kids had those diseases for parties so their children could be exposed to them, contract them and get them over with during childhood, as they would fine tune the immune system and provide life-long immunity [not financially profitable for Big Pharma], plus females could pass along those benefits to their fetuses/children! Not so today, since the mandated vaccines castrate the immune system so everyone whos been vaccinated needs to get booster shots [profitable for Big Pharma], per the mandated schedules of the CDC and FDA! What a rasher of scientific bull and scare tactics has been served up to the medical community, gullible-believing parents, and legislators who enjoy Big Pharmas lobbying gifts, but obviously dont realize the harm they are doing to their constituents by accepting, endorsing and promoting deliberate scientific fraud [10-11] ginned up by the vaccine industry apparently everywhere.

Natural immunity versus voodoo, if you can call that a choice. Moms every where consider having your babies at home as in the same way your Grand parents did. My employer makes the flu vaccine mandatory or youre suspended until you receive it. Ive always declined them up until then. There may come a day Ill refuse all of them and walk away.

I havent seen this articulate documentary yet, so I dont know if the horrible law President Ronald Reagan signed for BIG VAX in 1986 is reported.

This law also destroyed rights of 99% to sue BIG VAX for any harms! disabilities or deaths due to BIG VAX dangerous harmful vaccines. If you are wealthy and can afford the attorneys, specialist doctors, travel expenses and time off, etc You could (I do not know if you can now with National Forced Vaccines for everyone from womb to tomb Yes 200 new vaccines forced for everyone from pregnant women, babies, and all adults. OBAMA signed the National law for 200 new dangerous vaccines for EVERYONE, right after CDC closed down public comments by Oct 14, 2016. Then by Nov 2016 OBAMA signed the International P.S. Please note: several CEOS of drug mfg, say they will not give the vaccines to their kids or family members! The .01%! And I do not believe for one minute that OBAMA posing with/for woman sticking his arm with syringe for vaccine photo OP was for real. 
2	BREAKING: ISIS Terror Attack At US Airbase According to some shocking new reports, U.S. air bases all over the world are on high alert after reports that ISIS had collected information on 77 U.S. and NATO Air Force Facilities. The Political Insider reports that ISIS called on their supporters to attack the bases, including the Osan Air Base in South Korea. On Sunday, the National Intelligence Service announced that ISIS has released information on individuals in 21 countries. The information also included personal details of one employee of a South Korean welfare organization.\ The statement from NIS warned that terror against South Korean citizens and foreigners in this country is becoming a reality. What makes these reports even more shocking is the fact that Obama is still in denial about the threats facing the United States. He refuses to acknowledge Islamic extremism and the danger it poses. Stories like this serve as a reminder that our country is very much under attack. Please send your thoughts and prayers to the members of the U.S. military during this frightening time 
1	The nation looked on in reverence Friday as 20,000 citizens were decapitated, dismembered, and burned alive in the name of Corporate America, continuing the age-old annual rite to ensure bounteous profits in the coming fiscal year. 'Corporate America has always provided us with plenty,' said High Priest James N. Cahill, who opened the ceremony by plunging the horn of a bull into a fair-haired child's abdomen and using the freshly spilled blood to write the current value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average upon sacred parchment. 'JPMorgan Chase, General Electric, and all in the great pantheon of publicly traded entities will continue to watch over us so long as we appease them each year with human lives.' 'The prophecies are clear,' Cahill continued. 'As we utter the hallowed incantations and make our humble sacrifices of flesh, so shall the shelves of retailers overflow with the most desirable consumer products.' The blood offering follows last week's Feast of Increasing Market Values, a yearly celebration during which Americans gather with their families under the second Q4 full moon to give thanks to corporations and to pray for cash dividends during the holiday shopping season. The grand foyer of one of the nation's great corporate overlords, to whom tribute was bountifully paid this week. In accordance with tradition, Friday's ritualhosted this year by the Greater Wilmington Convention Centerincluded stonings in honor of Monsanto, the drowning of elders on behalf of Ford, and live flayings in the name of Whole Foods. 'A joyful noise filled the hall as the priest pulled the first virgin's heart from her chest and recited the ancient, mystical section 102(a)(3) of the Delaware General Corporation Law,' said 44-year-old disciple David Infantes, recalling the blasts from plastic horns donated by Wells Fargo that accompanied a young girl's lifeless body rolling down the altar steps. 'In that moment, I pledged my soul anew to our blessed Corporate Overlords, increasing profits be upon them.' By many accounts, the highlight of the evening took place when the 500 Shareholder Guardians, wearing robes adorned with logos of the nation's top-ranked businesses and chanting optimistic revenue projections, used their companies' balance sheets to ignite the alcohol-soaked vestments of the 'cursd and damnable' children born the day Lehman Brothers collapsed. 'To quick profits on high-risk, short-term investments of other people's money!' the assembled masses shouted in unison. 'Quick and easy profits for all eternity!' The ceremony drew to a close as the High Priest bathed in the accumulated blood on the altar and cleansed himself in the Font of Gross Receipts, symbolically rinsing the corporate world of undesirable red ink and granting it immunity from disclosure of negative earnings. Though the ceremony's origins are shrouded in mystery, most scholars agree on its historical success, noting that the yearly killings have coincided with an exponential growth in corporate earnings over the past two centuries. Recently, however, some high-profile academics have suggested the practice is flawed, citing the recent economic malaise as evidence. 'We're stuck in the Dark Ages if we still believe some elaborately choreographed, archaic ritual has any impact on today's dynamic multinational corporations,' New York University professor Nouriel Roubini said on CNBC this week. 'If we really want Corporate America to restore our prosperity, then we have to own up to the facts, face reality, and kill every last one of our firstborn sons with our own bare hands.' 'It was a great honor for my daughter to be chosen by a company as esteemed as Best Buy,' said ceremony attendee Mark Granaldi, who, as a family member of one of the sacrificed, received a complimentary gift bag that included Crest whitening strips, a $25 Hess gas card, Old Navy board shorts, and a tote bag bearing the trademark of Merck. 'Just as the flames rose from her body toward heaven, so too shall Best Buy's stock price climb ever higher.' At press time, Corporate America had conferred upon its devout followers the blessings of several new Doritos flavors and a sacred promise to release a deluxe unrated edition of Salt, starring Angelina Jolie, on Blu-ray. 
2	They Demanded Toby Keith Apologize For Performing For Trump, So Watch What He Did Instead Liberals are doing everything in their power to discredit 45th President Donald Trump, even if that means pressuring Hollywood stars not to perform at Trumps inauguration. Fortunately, these plans have backfired. Trumps team has just announced an incredible line-up for the inauguration performance which is titled Make America Great Again! Welcome Celebration. At the top of the list is country star Toby Keith, who wasnt afraid to tell America how proud he is to be performing for the president. I dont apologize for performing for our country or military, Keith told Entertainment Weekly. I performed at events for previous presidents Bush and Obama and over 200 shows in Iraq and Afghanistan for the USO. Keith will be joined at the musical celebration with other acts like 3 Doors Down, Lee Greenwood, The Piano Guys, Jennifer Holliday and the Frontmen of Country. There will already be performances from Jackie Evancho, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and the famous Rockettes. What do you think? Are you excited to see these stars perform in Trumps honor? 
2	Liberal Salma Hayek Challenged Donald Trump, Learns Quick Lesson By this point, we all know that Donald Trump is perhaps the most controversial candidate for president in 2016. Now, polls are revealing that he is also leading the GOP. Still, not everyone is forgiving the comments he made about Mexico during his campaign announcement. Thanks to all the things he saidI dont repeat and I dont say his name because I dont want to give him extra publicity, Hollywood star Salma Hayek told reporters. But beyond himthis concept of America being a place where there is no discrimination, and its not racist anymoreI think its beginning to show that discrimination and racism in this country is a bigger problem than we accept it is. At least he brought a light into a real problem. Still, despite all the backlash, Trump has stood behind his comments. I know youre surprised to hear that, but Im number one with the Hispanics, Trump calimed. Im number one with the Hispanics, it just came out yesterday. The illegal immigration in the United States is a huge subject and I brought it to the fore and everybody is thanking me for it, thats one of the reasons why I became number one in the polls. What do you think? Do you support Trump? 
3	This Week In The Movies: Baghdadi Wounded, Will He Return?Brandon Turbeville Indeed, the entire sequence of world affairs, politics, and human progression has become a fictional narrative. This carefully crafted narrative is unfortunately one that the worlds population eagerly digests and regurgitates upon command. Facts are not facts but scientifically inserted stage props. Rewritten history and false perceptions are the setting while politicians, leaders, and celebrities are nothing more than actors in the script. From time to time, however, when the possibility arises that the viewing audience may be alerted to the fact they are living in a falsely constructed narrative, that narrative must be edited, changed, or tweaked so as to avoid the exposure of the film. At times, characters must be edited out of the script. Some must be eliminated entirely while some are left with the possibility of a return in the future. Just such an edit of the narrative may have occurred with the recent reports coming out the mainstream Western media and Saudi outlets suggesting that the Caliph himself, ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (aka Caliph Ibrahim) was killed in an American airstrike in Iraq that took place days ago. According to reports by CNN, itself a thoroughly discredited organization particularly in the area of the Syrian crisis, Khaled al-Obeidi, Iraqs Minister of Defense, stated that Baghdadi had been wounded in an airstrike that took place in Mosul on Friday November 7. Obeidi also stated that Baghdadis deputy, Musallem al-Turkmani had been killed in the strike. However, the Iraqi Interior Ministry is saying that Baghdadi was wounded in an airstrike that took place on Saturday in the town of al-Qaim, which is located about 250 miles away from Mosul. The spokesman for Iraqs Prime Minister stated that his office has no confirmation of these statements as of yet. The Pentagon, while confirming that airstrikes had taken place in both Mosul and al-Qaim, also stated that it had no confirmation of Baghdadis status. A tweet sent out from an account that is allegedly associated with ISIS expressed a desire for Baghdadis speedy recovery, but analysts (admittedly associated with US intelligence) such as Flashpoint Partners, are suggesting that the tweet is a fake. So, with two different reports coming from two different offices involving two different airstrikes on two different cities on two different days, one is forced to wonder exactly how the same man can be wounded twice in two different airstrikes 250 miles away from each other? Was he wounded in the first airstrike and then escaped to join another convoy where he was wounded again? If so, he is quite the physical specimen, albeit very unlucky, and Iraq has quite the interstate highway system. Or, more likely, he wasnt wounded at all. In fact, the story provided by the Iraqi government is so questionable that even CNN experts are forced to display some skepticism. With all of this in mind, one would be justified in wondering whether or not the recent attempt to paint Baghdadi as being killed or, at least critically wounded, is actually an attempt to eliminate an actor whose role as a Western intelligence asset was becoming more and more visible and whose very presence on the national stage threatened to reveal the levels to which American intelligence agencies, NGOs, and politicians were involved with al-Qaeda, ISIS, and other terrorist organizations in Syria and around the world. As Voltaire Net describes Baghdadi, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is an Iraqi who joined Al-Qaeda to fight against President Saddam Hussein. During the U.S. invasion, he distinguished himself by engaging in several actions against Shiites and Christians (including the taking of the Baghdad Cathedral) and by ushering in an Islamist reign of terror (he presided over an Islamic court which sentenced many Iraqis to be slaughtered in public). After the departure of Paul Bremer III, al-Baghdadi was arrested and incarcerated at Camp Bucca from 2005 to 2009. This period saw the dissolution of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, whose fighters merged into a group of tribal resistance, the Islamic Emirate of Iraq. On 16 May 2010, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was named emir of the IEI, which was in the process of disintegration. After the departure of U.S. troops, he staged operations against the government al-Maliki, accused of being at the service of Iran. In 2013, after vowing allegiance to Al-Qaeda, he took off with his group to continue the jihad in Syria, rebaptizing it Islamic Emirate of Iraq and the Levant. In doing so, he challenged the privileges that Ayman al-Zawahiri had previously granted, on behalf of Al-Qaeda, to the Al-Nusra Front in Syria, which was originally nothing more than an extension of the IEI. Also remember that, although Baghdadi served as a good bogeyman for some time, his close connections and personal meetings with Senator and Chairman of the IRI, John McCain, recently became part of the national debate. After all, it was Baghdadi who was photographed meeting with John McCain inside Syria after the latter illegally entered the country to meet with terrorists and terrorist supporters. McCains photo-op is proof that some people are more equal than others. While any other American would be immediately imprisoned and possibly tortured as a result of their connections to terrorism, John McCain is rewarded with the title of U.S. Senator and the label of war hero. While John McCain has proven his disloyalty to the United States time and time again from his scuttling of Congressional inquiries into the existence of American prisoners of war in Vietnam to the support for obvious terrorists overseas, the mainstream media has consistently given him a pass on his treasonous behavior. Baghdadi is not the only terrorist friend of John McCain, of course, as the Senator has personally met with Salem Idriss, commander of the terrorist Free Syrian Army and Abu Sakr, the Farouq Brigade cannibal of heart-eating fame. Without going into too much detail regarding the nature of NGO involvement, false flag terror, and John McCains treachery, it is entirely plausible to suggest that Baghdadi was simply written out of the public script whether in real life or in the fiction realm of mainstream news in the same manner that Anwar al-Awlaki was eliminated after he his role as terrorist handler and Western intelligence agent was played out. Remember, like Baghdadi, Awlakis role in the handling of a number of various terrorists and terrorist attacks, as well as his infamous dinner at the White House, were becoming more and more well-known in the public discourse. With his death, that focus shifted to other variations of minutia and triviality. Of course, it is also possible that Baghdadi has not been written off of the script and will return for a cameo role as terrorist bogeyman in the very near future. It remains to be seen whether or not the recent claims of Baghdadis wounds will be used to erase the slowly emerging revelations of the connections between NGOs, politicians, intelligence agencies, and international terrorism or whether it will simply become a blip on the radar screen allowing Baghdadi to continue serving in his role as a bogeyman for a while longer. Whatever the outcome, we can bet that it will only be part of the overarching narrative in the fictional world of mainstream media and false reality.

3	The Pentagon Changes Its Story: Military No Longer Sure Yemeni Rebels Attacked A US ShipBy Whitney Webb Pentagon Spokesman Peter Cook said that the US attack on Yemen were a series of limited self-defense strikes that were conducted to protect our personnel, our ships, and our freedom of navigation. Cook argued that the radars targeted had been used in the alleged attack on the USS Mason. Another military official added that the radars were in rural areas, making the risk of civilian casualties negligible. Yet, at the time, there were growing concerns that the Pentagon had no official proof that the Houthis, or those who support them, were responsible for the attempted strikes on US ships. Despite that, the US decided on a characteristic bomb now, think later approach, attacking Yemen without a declaration of war, breaching Yemeni sovereignty, and potentially killing an unknown number of civilians. Now, only a few days later, the story has changed. According to Reuters, the Pentagon declined to say whether the USS Mason had been targeted at all by inbound missiles from Yemen and said that a review was underway to determine what really happened. Cook stated that we are still assessing the situation. There are still some aspects to this that we are trying to clarify for ourselves given the threat, the potential threat, to our people. [] So this is still a situation that were assessing closely. However, the US had no problem assessing the source of the threat last week when it fired missiles into Yemen. Some have suggested that the Pentagon was intentionally misguided into the conflict by nefarious Saudi intervention that sought to draw the US into the war. Indeed, the only logical alternative that is, if it is proved that the missile attack did not originate in Yemen is that the Saudis fired the missiles themselves and passed bad intel to the US suggesting that the Yemeni rebels were to blame. After all, the Saudis are the ultimate beneficiary of US involvement in the Saudi-Yemen conflict. If this does turn out to be the case, it seems unlikely that the Pentagon will admit it as the alliance between the US and Saudi Arabia has been receiving a lot of bad press lately. Yet, with Iran sending warships to Yemen following the US involvement, its anyones guess how messy this latest intelligence faux pas could get. What are your thoughts?

They were ordered to fire Who needs proof these days if you just keep lying most people will believe you. Evidence and truthfulness has disappeared from our vocabulary now. Eye witness reports are not enough because you cant trust them either. Sounds about right Always be a light that is shininginthedark Theres a couple of options here: 1) Houthi rebels really did fire missiles at a US ship. But then the questions emerge as to *why* that would be the case. Think about the fact that the Saudis have lost such enormous revenues on their oil that for the first time in their history, theyre selling global bonds to investors. Think of the lost revenue the Fed stands to lose if the Saudis lose out on oil (remember the petrodollar). Consider the South-Stream pipeline agreement Turkey has recently formed with Russia which would allow Putin a back door to sell oil into the EU and the Shia Crescent natural gas pipeline that was agreed through Iran, Iraq and Syria, cutting out the Saudis, Egypt and Lebanon in the process. Now consider the religious implications Saudia Arabia, Turkey et al have Sunni Muslim Governments. Wahabbi-ism (sp?) is essentially a radicalised form of Sunni Islam. Iran, Syria and Iraq are all Shia governments, apostates according to Wahabbi-ism (again, sp?). Finally, remember what this article said about the Houthi rebellion that overthrew a president many Yemenis considered to be a US puppet and think about the US history of foreign intervention. Just a thought. Per the Bank for International Settlements, the Clinton Foundation just transferred 1.8 billion dollars to Qatar. Wonder why??? Liars abound in DC.Wonder when DC will acknowledge who attacked the USS Liberty? Even the most jaundiced of us would castigate the US for shooting first and asking questions later. It simply is unacceptable under international law and is a sign of weakness on the Americans part. They dont have a clue because their intel is faulty and yet they are ready, willing and able to once again start a war based on lies and mistakes. That is the reality of having the US prowl the seas with their incompetence showing! I read somewhere that the SA-backed Yemeni forces fired on the U.S. by accident thinking they were Iranians coming to supply arms to Houthi rebels (and possibly fired from captured area). Ooops. 
2	16 U.S. States Just Banned Sharia Law The number of states taking action to prevent Sharia Law is quickly growing, as Americans fear a major takeover. Of course, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is calling Islamophobia, saying that the motions are representative of outright hostility toward Muslims. Still, these states have moved forward with preventative legislation: Alabama (two bills) What do you think? Do you support these states taking action? 
3	Russian Tanks in Ukraine? Consider the SourceTony Cartalucci In Ukraine, precisely the opposite is happening. The regime in Kiev is openly raising armies of Nazi militants to go east and mass murder Ukrainians. Referring to Russian-speaking Ukrainians as subhumans, the NATO-backed regime is clearly attempting region-wide genocide. Humanitarian aid from Russia, opened for inspection and coordinated with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), has been blatantly denied entry into eastern Ukraine after baseless accusations have been made by both Kiev and their NATO backers that it constituted a Trojan horse. To further poison attempts to relieve desperate civilian populations surrounded by literal Nazis in eastern Ukraine, British propaganda outlets from the BBC, to the Guardian and Telegraph are claiming columns of Russian armor have been seen moving into Ukraine. Of course, their articles only provide photographic evidence of the armor inside of Russia, but none proving it crossed the border. When considering the constant deluge of anti-Russian propaganda in support of literal, flag-waving Nazis and fascists occupying Kiev and mass murdering populations in eastern Ukraine, one must consider the source. Pedophiles, Pages for Hire, and Outright Lies British propaganda, like its newer but equally deceitful American counterparts, has exhausted its legitimacy and panders to shrinking audiences. Desperately trying to maintain control over the global narrative, everything from cognitive infiltration of newer forms of alternative media, to fabricating entire audiences to manufacture popularity has been used to propagate the agenda of special interests occupying Wall Street and the City of London. The credibility of British propaganda in particular can be gauged through the examination of some of its most prominent networks the Guardian and the BBC. The Guardians recent article, Russian military vehicles enter Ukraine as aid convoy stops short of border, includes familiar fabrications that have been seen in other conflicts around the globe. It was the Guardian in November of 2012 that claimed the Syrian government shut down the Internet, despite all evidence pointing to NATO and its terrorist proxies. The Guardian would write in its article, Syria shuts off internet access across the country, that: With absolutely no evidence, and even with claims by the Syrian government itself denying involvement, the Guardian shamelessly accused Damascus of cutting off the Internet, thus fueling a propaganda campaign designed to make the government in Damascus appear overbearing, tyrannical, and despotic, while attempting to create panic with a rebels are making gains narrative. It was clear at the time that it was not the Syrian government, and since then, revelations published within the pages of the Guardian itself, admit that it was the NSA, not the Syrian government, behind the outage. Shamelessly admitting the truth, with no apology to readers for misleading them, those behind British propaganda understand that the damage has already been done in the timely business of public lying. In contrast to a more minor incident like baselessly accusing Syria of cutting the Internet or Russia of invading eastern Ukraine, all of the major British publications and broadcasters participated in the lead up to the US-UK invasion of Iraq on the patently false pretense of Baghdad possessing chemical weapons. Other notorious lies involved the Houla Massacre, and alleged e-mails leaked from the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. And while a torrent of easily verified lies pour forth from British propaganda, there is another factor to consider when weighing the objectivity and integrity of the British media. The BBC, aside from serial lies including selling the invasion of Iraq on false pretenses, paid-for documentaries, and using intentionally deceptive photographs from separate, past conflicts to depict current events, is at the center of an immense pedophile ring emanating from one of its own broadcasters it harbored and covered up for over many years, and into the highest levels of political power in British society. Serial child-rapist Jimmy Savile, a life-long employee of the BBC, was protected by the organization despite many admitting everyone knew of his pedophilia. In the London Evening Standards article, BBC accused of cover-up as evidence from Savile inquiry is heavily censored, it was reported that: More than 3,000 pages of transcripts, including bitter recriminations by senior BBC staff about the dropped Newsnight investigation into the paedophile, contained significant portions of blacked-out passages. The transcripts are based on the evidence of 19 people, including Newsnight host Jeremy Paxman, director of global news Peter Horrocks, former BBC director-general George Entwistle and BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten, who were interviewed as part of the probe. Indeed, the BBC, while not lying about the world beyond its newsroom, is busy covering up improprieties and horrific crimes within its newsroom. The integrity and objectivity of the BBC, the Guardian, and in fact, newsrooms on both sides of the Atlantic parroting the false narratives emanating from London and Wall Street, is non-existent on any perceivable level. So when the Guardian or the BBC claims Russian tanks are moving into Ukraine, and the Russian government is not saying as much, nor is any evidence photographic or otherwise presented to back up such accusations, all that we are left with is the credibility, integrity, and reputation of those making the claims credibility, integrity, and reputation that is without doubt non-existent.

3	Terminal Apathy? What Rats Say About AmericansBy Brett Redmayne-Titley When considering the cause of national apathy, Americans are evidently physiologically and socially similar to the junk food addled laboratory rat. Both tolerate repressive environments while confined against their will in a maze. In the natural desire to escape and find freedom, like the affected rat, Americans passively accept their confinement, acquiescing without struggle to a life of controlled stimulation and manipulation by all manner of drugs, tests, and mandated choice of direction. In a country objectively descending into chaos, why dont Americans care? In recent studies at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), these same rats evidence one reason for Americas irrational disinterest in self-preservation. In ever-more-frequent and growing worldwide protests, resistance to the American empires imposed maze increases. Strangely, Americans offer no similar resistance at all. The social, economic, and political problems in the USA mirror those of an empire-afflicted world, yet in the exceptional nation most would rather chew off their tails than find the energy to extricate themselves from their maze. Examples of exceptionally paltry public resistance and protest abound. Rarely does an American protest amount to more than a few hundred temporarily outraged souls who then quickly return to their couches when told to do so by the well-armed militia of the government they came into the streets to change. The cause of this national apathy seems to be clear as shown in results from the UCLA study: its the food. Processed, adulterated, adjunct-laden, GMO-filled junk food; the preferred and almost unavoidable daily diet of Americans. Dr. Aaron Blaisdell, a professor of psychology at the UCLA /College of Letters and Science and a member of UCLAs Brain Research Institute, used rats to determine if a diet of poor quality processed foods resulted directly in obesity, or if the actual initial result was fatigue. Dr. Blaisdells team placed thirty-two female rats on one of two diets for six months. The first received a standard rats diet, consisted of relatively unprocessed foods like ground corn and fish meal. As a substitute for a junk food diet the second Americanized group received highly processed food of lower quality that included substantially more sugar. As expected, One diet led to obesity, the other didnt, said Blaisdell, as quoted in UCLAs, Newsroom. However Our data suggest that diet-induced obesity is a cause, rather than an effect, of laziness [apathy], concluded Blaisdell. the [poor quality] diet causes obesity, which causes fatigue. The rats were given a task in which they were required to press a lever to receive a food or water reward. The rats on the junk food diet demonstrated impaired performance, taking substantially longer breaks than the lean rats before returning to the task. During repeated 30-minute sessions the overweight rats became more lazy due to their increasing obesity, taking breaks that were nearly twice as long as clean rats. Dr. Blaisdells studying clearly indicates that junk food, while causing obesity, subsequently causes laziness and fatigue. Combined, the political cousin of these two symptoms is: apathy. By all metrics, Americans consume the most quantity of the worst-quality food supply in the developed world, as such leading in obesity. In America this endemic apathy is causing Americans to have little interest in their own increasing domestic peril. In a nation of increasing authoritarian governmental control, American processed junk food may have now become the most effective US government weapon for controlling the reactions of its own population. Examples of irrational American apathy are evident every week. Just this past weekend, on Feb 27, 2016, seventeen-year-old Abdi Mohamed, was shot three times by Salt Lake City police responding to a dispute. Not taking time to digest the situation and realize that Mohamed, who was not threatening them in any way, only held a piece of a broom stick, they opened fire within seconds of their arrival. The resulting protest of reportedly no more than one hundred outraged souls, were next met with the predicable draconian response of over one hundred cops being called to provide back-up; in force. This routine military response has one emphatic message for the protesting public, Take your First Amendment homeand stay there. Accepting this message, by Sunday all outrage was over. Considering this obvious example of Americas growing police disregard for life, this protest should have been in the thousands. What then? In dozens of countries across the globe rebellion in the thousands and tens-of-thousands by outraged nationalist populations is growing despite brutal American-backed-and-funded crackdowns by their governments. This weekend alone saw huge protests which all amounted to a public rejection of the influence of the American empire on their politicians and therefore their happiness. Consider Just hours ago, in London, over 10,000 protested the US/NATO imposed risk to their lives of Trident submarine ICBMs. In Poland, Ukraine and South Korea equally large protests also took place against the American-controlled national policies imposed on them. In Iran and Ireland national and local elections took place peacefully, the results also showing that their citizens, too, were casting out the politicians who favor guns over food. In France, where all GMOs are still banned, thousands of French farmers have battled police due to their lives being destroyed by US-required French sanctions against these farmers exporting their crops to the once lucrative and huge Russian market. Not surprisingly, and for good reason, these protesters have had enough of the benefits of American empire and imposed democracy. As the military might of the empire kills scores of innocents around the globe daily, while the quality of life continues to diminish, resistance is not, for these citizens, futile. It is daily. As for North America, Canada and Mexico have also recently produced huge protests, starting with the 2012 Montreal student protests where 100,000 angry students protested tuition fee increases. When Canadas legislature attempted to quell the protest by passing emergency legislation allowing for new draconian anti-protest laws, this huge protest then grew exponentially to more than one million citizens. Anti- government protests in major Canadian cities have been large and frequent since. Subsequently, on November 4, 2015, the Liberal Party, led by now Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, won 184 seats, turning-out the Conservative Party, led by incumbent, ultra-Zionist/ corporatist, former Prime Minister Stephen Harper. In Mexico City protesters hit the one million mark, also in 2012, within minutes of the announcement of the most recent presidential election results that declared president-elect, Enrique Pea Nieto, the victor. Thanks to American-made Diebold electronic voting machines (yes, those Diebold voting machines), the results had been rigged. Mexicans knew it. They were mad as hell. They went to the streets. In late 2014, forty-three very innocent college students were disappeared by Mexican government troops. That same government has been covering up the criminals involved ever since. But Mexican protests have been often, very large and unyielding to governments demand that these anti-government protests end. The protesters will not go home. However, back in the Homeland, where over 1300 Americans were killed by police firepower in 2015, many of whom were as completely innocent of any crime that justified deadly force, this weekend produced just one completely ineffective protest. When killer cops get off from prosecution scot-free, outrage generally amounts to, as seen in Salt Lake City, a mere hundred-or-so protesters. Even the anti-authoritarian spectacle of Ferguson, Missouri accomplished nothing except to showcase the futility of protest to the apathetic public watching on the TV. But it was not the fault of these sincere, passionate and legitimately outraged protesters who did put their freedom on the line at these small protests. The real problem in changing endemic domestic American abuses: enough people willing to rise to their feet and effect the true power of the people! The most demonstrative recent example of the national terminal apathy of Americans was illustrated at the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. The government and the local police expected big trouble. Uncle Sam knew his people had good reason to take to the streets outside the convention. Four years of Pres. Obamas broken promises, lobbyists, high unemployment, growing authoritarian state, endemic corruption in banks, business, government and sports gave many good reasons for American outrage to hit the streets of Charlotte en masse. Just months before, the dozens of Occupy camps in major cities nationwide, as the only cohesive national protest movement, had all been closed down in the space of two very violent and draconian days at the hands of nationwide police. So, when NSA, CIA, and Charlotte police authorities publicly stated their assumption of over 100,000 upset Americans showing up to protest, their estimate seemed well founded. Taking no chances the federal government provided Charlotte $50 million, and added $50 million more, to defend Pres. Obama from the will of the people. As witnessed then, this funding produced a truly awe-inspiring showcase of Americas domestic authoritarian, anti-protest arsenal. The American government was ready to take on Americas collective best shot, no matter what, at resisting Obamas new definition of democracy. Anyone coming to Charlotte found that walking the streets was a laboratory maze in itself. The maze was not here metaphorical, consisting of literally several miles of contiguous sixteen-foot-high, black-painted metal, crowd-proof fencing along both sides of the entire pre-selected boulevards that would be used to keep the loonies on the path. Hordes of cops by the hundreds thirty-five hundred in total funneled protesters back into the maze at every intersection, all dressed in full riot gear and showing different shoulder badges with insignia from police departments as far away as Austin, Texas; Chicago, Illinois; New York City and Albuquerque, New Mexico. Each cop grimaced at this arrogant display of democracy before their face masks and batons. New police vehicles were everywhere; from ATVs and MRAPs, to refrigerated trucks and golf carts. Dozens of brand new Police mountain bikes and motocross bikes stood in rows of twenty, some under fat cops who sat watching on menacingly. No less than four helicopters were in the air at all times. Police cars state, federal, and local were evident by the hundreds. CIA had commandeered a local junior college, and US Army troops maintained defenses outside the city. Just in case. These were the front lines, ready for anything an understandably outraged public of 100,000 plus might dish out. The cops need not have bothered. The largest protest of the six-day event was a paltry 2000 people. Almost all other protests numbered no more than three hundred. The protesters were always outnumbered by the cops and the press. Considering Charlotte has over 150 million Americans within a five-hundred-mile drive, why such a paltry, ineffective, impotent turnout throughout the national six-day event? Why? We may have found a cure for most evils; but we have found no remedy for the worst of them all, the apathy of human beings. Helen Keller Dr. Blaisdells rats expose the fundamentals of this malady. The toxic combination of engineered food leading to endemic apathy is causing a sickness infecting Americans. Apathy. If not; despair. Americas diet is factually the worst in the industrialized world. GMO ingredients are in eighty-five percent of all processed foods, not that this processed food is of acceptable quality. In December 2013, Professor Irina Ermakova, vice president of Russias National Association for Genetic Safety, called for a 10-year ban on GMO foods. Ermakova conducted GMO rat-feeding tests that showed alarming results, including extreme mortality rates. It is necessary to ban GMO, to impose a moratorium for 10 years. It has been proved that not only in Russia, but also in many other countries in the world, GMO is dangerous, he concluded. In 2015 Russia past new laws banning all American GMO products. China, France and the United Kingdom have similar bans. Illustrating Dr. Blaisdells study, while choosing willful ignorance, American voters have defeated GMO labeling laws in state referendums in California and Oregon. This means Americans have actually voted not to know that food-borne poison is contained in what they choose to eat. Really. But taking no chances with future elections, however, this week a US Senate committee announced it is preparing legislation seeking to prohibit states from attempting to pass their own mandatory state labeling laws via the publics constitutional right to vote in their own interests. Labeled the Dark Act this is a government reaction to the few successful state initiatives requiring GMO labeling, such as Vermont, New Hampshire and Connecticut. As reported by William Engdahl, in a study on the toxicity of GMO plants associated with the plant killer, Roundup, Anthony Samsel and Stephanie Seneff, have found additional confirmations. Their review concluded, in regard to glyphosate, the main active component of Roundup herbicide, that, Residues (of glyphosate) are found in the main foods of the Western diet. Samsel and Seneff continue [M]any of the health problems that appear to be associated with a Western diet could be attributed to glyphosate. These include digestive issues, obesity [emphasis added], autism, Alzheimers disease, depression, Parkinsons disease, liver diseases and cancer, among others. We believe that glyphosate may be the most significant environmental toxin. Researcher, Tim Spector, a professor of genetic epidemiology at Kings College London, bolsters the connection between junk food and apathy. Enlisting the help of his son Tom, a genetics student at the University of Aberystwyth in Wales, for a little over a week Tom ate nothing but McDonalds Big Macs, chicken nuggets, fries, and Coke. He reported that he, felt good for three days, then slowly went downhill, became more lethargic, and by a week my friends thought I had gone a strange gray color. The last few days were a real struggle. I felt really unwell. Cornell University testing revealed that Toms gut microbes were devastated. He had lost about 1,400 types (or 40%) of his bacteria species, which is a red flag indicator for health issues such as obesity and diabetes. In one week. In Australia, further study from researchers at Deakin University and the Australian National University has shown that junk food does indeed physiologically affect the brains growth and development leading to poor mental health. Their findings concluded that a part in the brain the hippocampus has been shown to be smaller in those who consume junk food. The hippocampus is responsible for learning, memory and mental health. Researchers used MRI scanning to measure the size of the hippocampi in Australian adults between the ages of 60 and 64. Diet and other factors which could affect the hippocampus were measured and taken into account as well. The results, published in BMC Medicine, revealed that seniors who had consumed junk food are more likely to have smaller left hippocampi. On the other hand, seniors who consume more nutrient-rich foods have larger left hippocampi. Associate Professor Felice Jacka concluded, Recent research has established that diet and nutrition are related to the risk for depression, anxiety and dementia; however, until now it was not clear how diet might exert an influence on mental health and cognition. Thanks to American-inspired global franchising, people throughout the world are also getting fatter on the same brand-names of poison as their American counterparts. The World Health Organization refers to the epidemic as globesity. Yet nowhere is the trend as pronounced as it is in the United States, where per-capita calorie consumption of the worst food on the planet rose from 2,109 calories a day in 1970 to 2,568 calories in 2010, according to the Department of Agriculture. The average man today weighs thirty pounds more than in 1960, which equals seventy-eight million people considered obese in 2012. Americans habitually eat a lot of junk food. School children and their developing minds are affected from birth. Economically bankrupt America has created families where both Mom and Dad, by necessity are working, with the kids in daycare and the home-cooked family meal a relic of the American Dream long gone. Corporate America preys on this with a replacement of cheap, fast and processed food offerings substituted as breakfast, lunch and/or dinner. Plus snacks. The ongoing degradation of the American mind it seems, applied to Dr. Blaisdells laboratory rats and the UK, Russian and Australian studies, shows that growing American mental apathy is directly proportional to their extraordinarily high consumption of a very poor-quality diet. Result: a failing American mind. Combined with an ever-failing educational system, this produces a population perfectly ripened for ongoing authoritarian control. It is only one indictment that Americans to have willfully allowed themselves and their nation to go to the gallows of history without a whimper. So be it. So, suffers the fool. But in allowing an ever-corrosive America to brainwash their souls, these same apathetic Americans also allow their government to rob, via Americas historic military might, the livelihood and futures of the remaining external and innocent world. When considered carefully, apathy American apathy is a serious crime. A crime against world humanity. The checks and balances by humans on Empire are permissively missing in empirical America. Americans are thus complicit in the further daily destruction of the remaining world they wish to know little about. When the dust of the oncoming rampage of history has settled over the folly of this American empire, guilt for its accumulated horrors will sit squarely on the American peoples heads, as much as the shoulders of their obviously treasonous politicians. Indeed. In tests the laboratory rat proves to be stronger of will than its Americanized human counterpart. Like the protesters in France, South Korea, Poland, Ukraine, Iran and Ireland just mere hours ago humans who presumably do not live on an obligatory junk food diet the rat of pure mind and conscience continues, despite its confines, to desire its freedom. Andhe will bite. Ultimately, under the bright laboratory lights, while seemingly trapped in a maze of oppression, the lab rat will do what Americans can do no longer. The rat, growing ever more desperate, will find a way to escape. Summoning both will and courage, the rat draws the strength of will to rise-up on his hind legs, peering out over the top of the wall of the maze. His indomitable desire for freedom thus reveals the obvious: the way out. Americans have no such remaining instinct.

This fake quote actually comes from far right wingers who seek to trash liberalism, which is based on the concept of tolerance of human differences, which is the opposite of tolerance of repression of diversity of cultures and opinions. Here is a true quote from Herbert Marcuse: Tolerance is an end in itself. The elimination of violence, and the reduction of suppression to the extent required for protecting man and animals from cruelty and aggression are preconditions for the creation of a humane societyThe tolerance which enlarged the range and content of freedom was always partisanintolerant toward the protagonists of the repressive status quo..Tolerance of intolerance is repressive of human freedom. There are two versions of tolerance: tolerance of diversity, which is liberatingand tolerance of oppression, which is destructive. This article begins with a fake quote and then confuses these two opposite meanings. Herbert Marcuse Really? Anyone who would, straight faced, quote this known destroyer earns instant contempt. Name calling and killing the messenger are both logical fallacies: the question is, do you agree that tolerating intolerance is destructive of human rights? No. Then you will tolerate hate speech, racism, sexism, and bigotry.as they destroy freedom. hate speech, racism, sexism, and bigotry are examples of false memes contributing to the destruction of freedom Not real things leading to the destruction of freedom.

Hi John. No mate, I live in Newcastle. Spent a year at surfers paradise once though! OK, thought Id ask in case. If youre ever in Airlie Beach let me know. OK mate. Have been there! Nice place too. Meeting up with another truther I connected with on twitter soon, but hes not too far away lol! Funny though, after couple years of being a truther have been in contact with 3 others in past 2 weeks that are close to home. Happy about that! Cheers, mate! Youre lucky! Airlies a good place lots of German backpackers, I like the golden colour they go in the sun lol. Im planning on corrupting one, if I get the chance, by telling her the truth about what has been done to her people. Good mate do it! I like German girls. Corrupt her as much as you can! lol, Thanx mate, will do. For sure A good idea is to meet up with some like minded people (say within 20 square miles of where you live) and start discussing new possibilities. Make plans to protect each other when they start coming for us Spread truthful information in any way possible and have faith in what you are doing because times will get really hard for people who dont want to be part of the NWO. Thats so true, Joe. Just started plans to try and reach people with the truth and have found a few people like myself as well too. Before that I was rather isolated and frustrated. When you are around like minded people to share with its a whole lot more comforting. It builds a bit of confidence going forward with constructive ideas to reach people. They are out there for sure. And yes, times are going to be more than tough for us truthers. Some very big and scary decisions are being made by all of us I would think. They already know who we are, mate. when we least expect it they will come but you might not see them coming. You rarely see a coward coming; we need to watch out for each other. Now! Yeah definitely mate, Im in the same situation here.. I know for sure my family and gf think im gone a bit mad haha, but at the same time when I explain things as simply as I can to them they get it, the info just doesnt affect them like it does me (call it apathy, cognitive dissonance whatever). We get shut down for trying to spread helpful information, but it wont stop me trying.. Just the other day I posted this on a channel called science; the title was Good post, Joe. Thanks for your reply, mate. Laugh? Mate I try! The fact that they are killing our children, mate, I take that very bloody personally! Its getting very serious for me True, killing our children before we can even have them now.. The amount of infertility is scary!! Suppose its time to be less like Gandhi and more like Napoleon.. Americans have defeated GMO laws in California and Oregon. Well maybe they did and maybe the machines did as the exit polls indicated a different result here in CA. Only a fool would believe that electric voting machines dont have the capacity and intent to change actual voting. Got to get back to paper ballots no matter how inconvenient they are. While not well sourced, Alexander Haig was once attributed with saying of protesters (Vietnam era?) Let them march all they want, as long as they continue to pay their taxes. Its true Americans are lazy when it comes to protesting and eat too much junk food, yet protesting has done little to nothing to halt the growth of techno-feudal fascism around the world, seductively wrapped in new technologies, courtesy of the international banksters. China bans the first generation of GMOs while it inhumanely experiments with bizarre genetically engineered animals, no doubt already going all out with the new CRISPR/cas9 precision genetic engineering technology. China also went full throttle on monitoring every single thought and action with the Social Credit Scoring System. The problem is not in the food, or the stars, its in our genes and centuries of conditioning. Anyone eating gmo junk is probably taking vaccines say good night might as well take the blue pill besides it is much more blissful as in ignorance is bliss. No Thanks on the Blue pill. The green tobacco is much preferred, a short vacation without the fuel costs. I got part-way into an article about the growing list of mental disorders (treatable only with OPIATES), as determined by, Determined Opiate Pushers, AKA Shrinks, then I ran away in fear,(Fear is good in moderation), besides I was already aware of this assault on the generally depressed American Populace. Flee the opiates., and vaccines, for everything. Im fully into health and fitness and have been for many years. But one time I got sick and felt lousy for a while. They told me I was depressed so put me on meds! I was silly enough to trust them. I weaned myself off them a while ago and the veil was removed from my eyes shortly after. I now know why they would love ALL of us on them. They make you careless on many levels and you tend to make more frequent bad choices. But, you carry on like its all good! It destroyed my marriage. My ex cant understand my new outlook on life and the truther/activist I have become, but thinks its great lol. There are times where I wish I was back on them but thats not going to happen. Im surprised they havent come asking why I stopped taking the medication I never needed in the first place. They will though The vaccination laws are getting hard in Australia now. They threaten with money of course. TOTALLY ILLEGAL! Bigger threats are coming though. Think you have it bad in the USA? This country is going down the toilet with new rules rolling in all the time. People suck it up though because they are scared cowards. NO ONE DOES ANYTHING! As far as Im concerned people will get exactly what they deserve. The shock of the coming events will totally bring them to their knees. Cheers BRETT and GWENETH, Self promotion and empowerment will place you above the fray. I love Ausies, but am constantly shocked when I hear what your government is doing to your country and the people. I worked with an Australian carpenter in Nashville about 9 years ago. The muslim hoards were already taking their toll, then. Glad you kicked the opiates BRETT. I give psych meds a lot of credit for the mass suicide rates here in the U.S. TO ALL,Begin to impose your will on the Bad Guys. That suggestion is from Albert Einstein on what happened with Hitler and his German tear down. Thanks, mate! Diet certainly determines the state of health of a person and their energy levels, and soooo many food additives, unlabelled GMOs, etc are permitted in foods available in America that are banned in other Western nations. However, Americans also suffer from tainted food for thought with their military (exceptionalism) and religious indoctrination, and both have turned this nation into obedient thought sloths. Good post, Caws What load. If the American people are sick because their gov is poisoning them, then they arent guilty of anything. Theyre just an abuse victim. This is just another blame the victim rather than the perpetrators story. Oh, and let me know successful all those foreign riots end up being. *snicker* Govs will do what they want to and sort of a French revolution, nothing will stop it.

3	Google Upgrades Digital Wallet to Pay by Facial RecognitionBy Kevin Samson Despite the fact that several years ago Google had a major security scare with its first incarnation of the digital wallet smartphone app, which required a temporary shutdown, they are announcing a new system being tested which does not even require the smartphone at all. A growing number of people apparently find that having to remove their smartphone is just such a hassle that they are prepared to embrace payment via biometrics in this case, facial recognition. As a perfect indicator of the target market, please read this sad quote: Imagine if you could rush through a drive-thru without reaching for your wallet, or pick up a hot dog at the ballpark without fumbling to pass coins or your credit card to the cashier, Bhat said. (Source) In one sentence, that quote might represent literally everything that is wrong with modern society. The new system is being cleverly called Hands Free; and, as the second indicator of its potential mass appeal, it will be rolled out first at McDonalds and Papa Johns fast food restaurants. A second more serious component to this ties in with the recent rollout of citywide WiFi systems that keep people connected at all times. Layered on top of that is the arrival of billboards with hidden cameras built in that can film you, then track you through your mobile phone. This reality makes the following information more chilling than convenient: The digital wallet uses Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections alone [sic] with location sensing capabilities in smartphones to detect when someone is near a store enabled with Hands Free payment technology. When youre ready to pay, you can simply tell the cashier, Ill pay with Google,' Bhat said. The cashier will ask for your initials and use the picture you added to your Hands Free profile to confirm your identity. At some locations, Google is experimented [sic] with using cameras in stores to recognize people with Hands Free digital wallets so they could pay without even pausing. (emphasis added) The number of people already prepared to accept this system numbers in the millions, according to Google. Although this announcement would appear to border on satire, please view the videos below to get an idea about a world where cash is seen as a major annoyance, and laziness is embraced as a virtue. 2015 Promo 2016 Promo H/T ZenGardner.com Kevin Samson writes for selfnewsPost.com.

So the typical morons are unprepared to pay for their purchaseOh where is my wallet in this duffel bag of a purseWait a minute children, Mommy is too stupid to work this card swipe machine that has been in use for a couple of decades now. Yeah Google, these morons really do need your help, otherwise they will probably die; they are that stupid. As for me I like to see whether the cashiers can make change. And another thing Whats to stop a mad Dutchman, or other ethnic minority, to enter an establishment that uses Google Face Pay, shoot everyone there, behead them, and then drain their bank accounts by saying Ill pay with Google? Ive actually seen sales staff struggle to return change. Good in a way as the intellectually fittest survive. I can tell you though, there will be plenty of people robbing groups of victims in pubs, clubs and other venues to drain them of their bank accounts. They will even dismember and/or decapitate them if necessary. Whereas now they would only get whats in peoples pockets, under this bankster scheme they can probably get millions per hit. A crime worth the time. Imagine I punch one of these cashless society advocates senseless and beyond facial recognition. What happens to their ability to access their fragile computerised digital credits? Cashless society, mark of the beast is coming or actually part of it is here now. This is scary! The only money I want and to do transactions with, is real money, in my hand, that I actually possess, none of this imaginary money spirited about in the ether. 
1	Citing years of frustration over their advice being misunderstood, misrepresented or simply ignored, America's foremost experts in every field collectively tendered their resignation Monday. Left: Child-rearing expert Dr. Patrick Coughlin and Korean War expert Dr. Laurence Block field reporters' questions following the mass resignation of America's 243,839 experts. 'Despite all our efforts to advise this nation, America still throws out its recyclables, keeps its guns in unlocked cabinets where children have easy access, eats three times as much red meat as is recommended, watches seven hours of TV per day, swims less than 10 minutes after eating, and leaves halogen lights on while unattended,' said Dr. Simon Peavy, vice-president of the National Association of Experts. 'Since you don't seem to care about things you don't understand, screw you. We quit.' 'My final piece of expert advice,' Peavy added, 'is that all of you people should just go fuck yourselves.' Michael Leland, until recently a Department of Energy advisor specializing in planetary energy-use infrastructures and a leading expert in petrochemical and fossil-fuel depletion, maintained that the experts' mass resignation is justified. 'Last year, I testified before Congress that at the current rate of consumption, the planet's supply of coal, natural gas and oil would be gone within 40 years, and they looked at me as if I was some sort of crackpot,' Leland said. 'What's the point?' 'We'll say it one last time before we pack up and go: In 20 years, you'll be up to your asses in old folks,' a written statement from the National Advisory Council On Aging read in part. 'Since America has not yet begun making preparations for the explosion in its senior population, we recommend that you begin research on federally funded, hydroelectrically powered 'eldercution camps,' where the teeming hordes of the aged can be disposed of quickly and painlessly.' According to Peavy, despite the vast amounts of scientifically proven and historically sound advice provided by the nation's experts, the National Association of Experts could cite no instances of advice being followed in the manner they had intended. 'Public reaction was favorable to the news that a glass of wine a day can help prevent heart attacks,' Peavy said. 'Of course, most people figured that eight glasses of wine a day must be better than one. And many Americans reacted well to the news that eggs probably wouldn't kill them outright. Aside from that, they've pretty much ignored every word we've ever said concerning just about everything.' Because the experts' advice was barely followed, the mass resignation is expected to have little impact on the lives of most Americans. 'Go ahead, America,' Peavy said. 'You don't need us. Watch all the topsoil go down the Mississippi. Transport your children in baskets on top of your SUV deathmobiles. Keep playing with your cute and cuddly pal, the atom. Press your nose against the TV screen for even more educational 3rd Rock From The Sun enjoyment. Use plentiful gasoline to burn book- readers at the stake. Don't eat anything but sugared pork lard. Do whatever you want.' Despite its negligible impact on the population at large, the sudden dearth of experts is expected to be devastating for the American media, particularly TV newsmagazines, which have come to heavily rely on experts for their incisive, time-filling punditry. 'How in the world are we supposed to do a story on how the Internet is changing the face of Christianity without Internet and Christianity experts?' said Dateline NBC executive producer Russell Ross. 'How can we report on the stress-relieving impact of whale songs without top psychotherapists and marine biologists to offer their perspective? Without the insight of professors and best-selling authors, a TV special report has no credibility. It may well mean the end of American telejournalism as we know it.' According to FDA spokesperson Jonathan Landau, the exiting advisors will be missed, but the nation must move forward. 'We, of course, are deeply saddened to lose America's most knowledgeable individuals in every field,' Landau said. 'But at the same time, it's important to recognize that their advice, however well-informed or well-intentioned, was almost always impractical.' Landau said he plans to fill his own vacant advisory positions with 'positive-minded, people-friendly sexperts, advice columnists and astrologers' as soon as funding can be arranged. 
3	Unelected Regime Begins Killing Spree in Eastern UkraineTony Cartalucci The Western media continues to refer to those opposing the unelected regime in Kiev as pro-Russian, and continues to insist that the uprising in the east is either backed by Moscow or in fact, being carried out directly by Russians operating in Ukrainian territory. However, the US and EU have failed categorically to prove such claims with evidence, and have since been caught circulating falsified images and news in attempts to bolster their claims. The current regime in Kiev came to power at the height of the so-called Euromaidan protests where admittedly armed Neo-Nazi militants seized power, ransacking the headquarters of their political opponents and driving out the elected government of President Viktor Yanukovych. While the armed, violent seizure of power was initially covered up by the Western media, the BBC itself would later admit in a short video report thatindeed armed Neo-Nazi militants spearheaded the coup. The nature of the regime in Kiev is also being papered over by the Western media, covering up the fact that the two main opposition parties that seized power, Svoboda and Fatherland, are in fact led by a collection of Neo-Nazis, bigots, racists, and anti-Semites. In a desperate attempt to cover up this lack of legitimacy, the West has sent many high level officials including a leading US Senator and the US Vice President to Kiev to lend both political and material support. The use of fanatical, irregular forces, armored vehicles, and aircraft including warplanes and helicopter gunships, signifies an escalation of violence by Kiev against its own people through the use of clearly disproportionate force aimed at terrorizing the population. That the United States and European Union have spent the past 3 years engaged in what they called the responsibility to protect in both Libya and Syria, and are now backing a regime that is arraying military forces against its own people, marks a new low in both the impartial application of international law and the perceived legitimacy of the Western nations now increasingly involved in Ukraines political crisis. Wests Hypocrisy: Libya vs. Ukraine Of course, years before the Arab Spring in 2011, regime change in Libya was a long-standing geopolitical goal of the West. The charges President Obama made in his speech regarding the situation in Libya were based on intentionally falsified evidence exposed by the very so-called human rights organization who fabricated them. Worse yet, those innocent people President Obama cited in his 2011 speech were later confirmed to be heavily armed militants from the US State Department designated terrorist organization, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) Al Qaedas Libyan franchise who would later, with NATO backing, travel to fight in Syria as well. As heavy weapons are now being turned against the Ukrainian people by the unelected regime in Kiev led by literal Neo-Nazis, bigots, racists, and anti-Semites the US and EU through NATO have signaled their full unflinching support for Kiev, going as far as offering weapons, training, and the backing by NATO troops of Kievs so-called anti-terror operations now unfolding tentatively in eastern Ukraine. NATO troops have been deployed to nearby Poland while naval forces have been shifting into the Black and Baltic seas, all an attempt to pressure Russia. Paradoxically, NATO is helping Kiev do in reality what it falsely accused Libya of doing in 2011 before applying sanctions, a no-fly zone, and eventually full spectrum bombardment of Libya while it armed and funded proxy militant forces on the ground to overthrow the government. NATOs overt contradiction undermines its perceived authority and endangers further its already strained legitimacy. As NATOs failure and deceit continues to come to light in Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan, its ability to project its power and execute its agenda across Eastern Europe is becoming increasingly tenuous. By pursing an already unpopular conflict in Ukraine, NATO and its individual member nations are only further diminishing their international influence ensuring failure elsewhere and the further acceleration of an apparent, irreversible decline across the West. The West Has Already Lost in Ukraine What is left for the West is to perpetually destabilize Ukraine, denying Russia a stable and beneficial relationship with its neighbor. However, this strategy hinges on keeping a useful and obedient regime in power in Kiev a feat likewise unlikely if not impossible. The regime is sitting on a seat of power still warm after the departure of President Yanukovych, who despite being ousted from power, is playing a continuing role in countering the new regimes occupation of the Ukrainian capital. Additionally, the abhorrent nature of the new regime is exposed through its daily actions and as an increasingly astute global public dig into its past. This, coupled with a looming economic catastrophe that will be compounded by the regimes very willing cooperation and capitation to IMF-proposed austerity measures, will ensure whatever little support it does have will quickly melt away. Many see NATO and their client regime in Kievs actions in eastern Ukraine and along Russias borders elsewhere as an attempt to provoke Moscow into acting first justifying a wider conflict. For Russia and the anti-fascists in eastern and southern Ukraine, patience to weather these provocations will eventually lead to the self-inflicted collapse of the regime in Kiev, and a reunited Ukraine standing stronger still with its eastern neighbors.

3	Obama Compares Himself to Lincoln, but Snubs 150th Anniversary of Gettysburg AddressMelissa Melton Maybe the comparisons keep coming because the president himself has, of course, made the comparison numerous times every since he announced his first bid for the presidency, although he has more recently tried to deny ever doing so. Type Obama Lincoln into a Google Image search, and youll find a plethora of pictures like this (above and below). Artist Ron English even put up street art melding Obama and Lincolns faces together in a rainbow; theres a movie coming out about it soon, and theres even a website dedicated to it abrahamobama.net if youre at all inclined. So, its sadly ironic that I must inform all those Abraham Obama Barack Lincoln true believers that the president will not be traveling the 187 kilometers it would require him to attend the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincolns immortal address at Gettysburg next week. In fact, hes sending Interior Secretary Sally Jewell. The people of Gettysburg are reportedly quite upset: Officials in the rural town are doing their best to put on a brave face especially after rumours over the past year had indicated Mr. Obama would be there. I thought he was going to come, Bill Troxell, Gettysburgs 86-year-old mayor, told ABC News. From every bit of information I had, I expected him to be here. But the White House recently announced Mr. Obama would not be coming, without giving any reason. Residents feel it is a mistake and he should be there next Tuesday. [] I would just leave it at we are all very disappointed. In a country supposedly by, for and of the people, Obama the man from the Land of Lincoln couldnt even be bothered to schlep the relatively short distance over to Gettysburg to pay tribute to one of the nations greatest speeches and continue pandering to his naive followers for one more cheesy photo op. Hopefully the presidents next brazen attempt to shamelessly liken himself to Lincoln for political gain will be enough to see everyone through these hard times.

2	Muslim Incites Shariah Law: Hospitalizes Two Policemen Before Being Shot Dead [VIDEO] According to terrifying new reports, a Muslim man attacked an NYPD cop with a hatchet in the subway station. The action is possible an indication that the United States is being targeted by a terrorist organization. Reportedly, the incident took place at 2 PM when a freelance photographer asked four police officers to pose for a photo. Suddenly, the man wielding the hatchet attacked the group of officers. The man was able to hit one officer in the arm and other in the head before the cops were able to shoot him, killing him instantly. The officers injured in the attack are still in the hospital recovering from the incident. The officer that received the blow to the head is still in critical condition, although doctors expect him to recover from his injuries. Officials are investigating whether or not the incident was a terrorist act. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. UPDATE: This video has been removed due to graphic nature.

'I'm not exactly sure what this is all about,' said Ft. Smith, AR, resident Meredith Lovell while waiting in line. 'But given all the crazy stuff that's going on these days, I'm sure the government has a very good reason.' Said Amos Hawkins, a Rockford, IL, delivery driver: 'I guess this is another thing they have to do to ensure our freedom.'

'I could hardly tell it was him because he was wearing sunglasses, a baseball cap pulled down low over his eyes, and a long trench coat, but I remember thinking he was so tall he had to be one of the athletes,' said horseracing fan Jason Larson. 'Still, I didn't figure it out until I saw the 'Big B' vanity plates on his car.' According to numerous witnesses, Brown spent five minutes urinating on the windshield of trainer Rick Dutrow's car before driving off erratically at high speed. 
2	Gang Of Thugs Chant Black Lives Matter As They Attack And Rob Innocent Bystander According to a recent statement of police, a recent assault and robbery of seven men in Akron, Ohio may have been racially motivated. A group of protesters chanting Black Lives Matter reportedly attacked and robbed seven white men near the University of Akron shortly after midnight on Sunday. The seven suspects attacked their victims with bottles, while punching kicking them. One victim fell to the ground and was kicked in the head several times before passing out. The victims were also robbed, and the suspects fled the scene. Officers with the Akron city police and the University of Akron force responded to the incident and found the suspects nearby. The seven men arrested in the incident have all been identified as residents of Canton, Ohio. They are now facing charges of rioting, assault, robbery, and receiving stolen property. 
2	Black Lives Matters Protestors Attack Clint Eastwood After He Does THIS [VIDEO] Last nights Oscars were fueled by racial tension. Host Chris Rock was quick to make jokes about the debate at any opportunity he got. We decided to look back at what a multiple Academy Award winner had to say about the controversy. Actor and director Clint Eastwood is no stranger to controversy, so it is no surprise that when he was asked about the all-white Oscar nomination debate, he gave a common sense answer without censoring in him. All I know is there are thousands of people in the Academy and a lot of themthe majority of themhavent won Oscars, Eastwood told interviewers at TMZ. Eastwood went on to confess that he did not follow the drama, but commented that a lot of people are crying, I guess. The controversy of the Oscars was first sparked when notorious race-baiter Al Sharpton noted that for the second year in the row, the Academy did not nominate a single African-American actor for an award. Ever since that comment was made, people in the industry have taken sides, with the most opinionated liberals boycotting the awards ceremony altogether. The Academy has responded to criticisms by announcing that it intends to work toward becoming less male and less white. What do you think of the debate and Eastwoods comments? Chris Rocks performance?

1	Despite sprinting through the Andrews Air Force Base south terminal, President Bush narrowly missed his Air Force One flight to Boise earlier today after arriving just moments after the plane's doors had closed. The 12-person crew was not able to accommodate the president due to strict federal guidelines requiring all passengers to arrive at their departure gate 15 minutes prior to takeoffguidelines flight officials say are especially important considering heightened security around the president. When Bush inquired into the possibility of being placed on standby for Air Force Two, the exasperated commander in chief was informed that the flight was full and Vice President Dick Cheney was unwilling to give up his seat. The president was left 'high and dry' at Andrews AFB today. 'I understand it's frustrating to miss a flight,' said Air Force One Chief Boarding Coordinator Derek Morganson, who attended a special meeting with the president to discuss the government-funded airline's exchange policy. 'But Mr. Bush has to understand that we are entrusted by the White House with a very important job, and we can't make exceptions for one person just because it suits his schedule. No airline would operate like that.' Morganson was able to offer the president a standby seat on an affiliate airline's 3 p.m. flight to Reno, though Bush said he failed to see 'how that helps [him] in the slightest.' After concluding a 'pointless talk' with desk personnel at Gate 14, Bush took questions in the air-base food court, where he denounced the airline's actions. 'This is so typical,' said Bush while eating a $9 chicken-Caesar-salad wrap. 'Of course, they had all the time in the world to check my bags and they told me I'd be all set, but all of a sudden, I'm not allowed on the plane. Now my biggest suitcase is halfway to who-knows-where and I'm stuck in this stupid airport. Don't these people ever communicate with each other?' said Bush, who refused an offer to put him up at a nearby Radisson Hotel for the evening. 'Plus, I just remembered that my charger is in that suitcase, and I'm down to one bar on my cell phone,' Bush continued. 'How the hell am I supposed to call Laura?' Bush told reporters his heart sank when he saw the departurearrival monitor and realized that he had missed the last boarding call: 'For Christ's sake,' the president said. 'This is a nightmare.' <b>'I remember when Air Force One used to care about customer service. Now it's all about their bottom line.'</b><p>President George W. Bush</p> Although he did not offer a specific cause for his delayed arrival at the airport, the president mentioned rush hour and 'losing the goddamn keys again' as factors. Bush admitted he may have misjudged the amount of time needed to pass through security, especially with thousands of military personnel heading out on international flights. But he maintained he had arrived at the gate while the plane was still on the tarmac, and said it would have taken the crew 'all of two seconds' to let him board the Boeing 747-200B aircraft. Bush, who describes himself as a 'perpetual traveler' who had exclusively used Air Force One for both work and his frequent vacations, said he will begin looking into other carriers. 'They just lost their best customer,' said Bush after purchasing a Robin Cook novel and settling in at Runway Caf. 'I remember when Air Force One used to care about customer service. Now it's all about their bottom line.' Air Force One representatives expressed regret for any inconvenience experienced by President Bush and assured him that the many useful comment cards he filled out will be seriously considered, even though 'Air Force One Presidential Air Transport wasn't the one who missed his flight.' Bush, who is scheduled to attend tomorrow's Governor's Association Luncheon in Boise, said the airline's treatment of him was 'inexcusable and ridiculous.' A ticket agent did eventually arrange an itinerary to get the president to Boise, first putting him on a shuttle flight aboard Marine One to Pittsburgh, where he will transfer to the cargo hold of a C-130 air transport delivering three Apache helicopters to Edwards Air Force Base in California, before riding with a military-supply-truck convoy to an undisclosed location in the Nevada desert, where he will then accompany test pilots from Fallon Naval Air Station to the Idaho border and pick up a rental car paid for by Air Force One. 'Not only did I miss my flight, but now I'm going to miss my connecting motorcade to the Idaho Capitol building,' said Bush. 'Yeah, I'll make the meeting, but I'll never get there in time for my keynote address or the seafood brunch.' 
1	In a historic summit with profound, far-reaching implications for the nation at large, President Clinton met with a guy in a tie Tuesday, shaking the man's hand firmly while projecting a warm yet determined countenance. Clinton smiles and shakes hands with an important guy wearing a tie. Standing confidently before reporters and various dignitaries in a White House meeting room equipped with a raised dais, podium, microphone and prominently displayed American flag, the two men greeted each other, exchanged polite small talk and waved cordially to the assembled press. The guy, presumably an important and distinguished person of one sort or another, waited quietly during introductory remarks made by other people with different ties. 'It is my pleasure to welcome my esteemed colleague to the White House today,' Clinton said. 'And I'd like to thank him for taking the time to address this key issue facing America as it stands on the verge of a new millennium.' After being formally greeted by a smiling Clinton, the tie guy, who had arrived at the White House several minutes earlier in a big, fancy car, smiled back, furrowing his eyebrows at times to convey determination and seriousness of purpose, yet always maintaining a friendly demeanor. Clinton was also wearing a tie. 'Thank you, Mr. President,' the guy in the tie said. 'I very much look forward to our discussion and am confident it will prove fruitful.' The president and the guy in the tie then retired to a large, stately room somewhere else in the White House, where they spoke to each other in earnest, modulated tones. According to witnesses to the four seconds of footage from the event which was edited into nightly newscasts, the guy with the tie is some kind of visiting dignitary, businessman, expert, government official or something. Though it is not known at this time exactly what the two tie-wearing men discussed during their meeting, it is believed the topic may have been fiscal policy, tariffs or international law, or possibly even human rights, taxes, budgets, treaties or social programs of some kind. It is known, however, that the meeting was very important and therefore necessitated the wearing of ties. The incident marked the 194th meeting between Clinton and a guy with a tie in the last week, and the 82,876th such meeting since the start of his administration. Clinton has met with an estimated 795,526 tie-wearing men over the course of his political career, all of them important. This latest meeting comes on the heels of Monday's important meeting between Clinton and a guy with a tie and crown, and last week's equally important meeting with a guy in a turban, one of the few times Clinton has met with an important person who was not wearing a tie. 'Clinton and a guy in a tie? I think I saw that on television,' said D.C.-area tavern-owner Jim Blakely. 'Clinton was meeting some guy, and they shook hands and, if memory serves me correct, I think they expressed mutual admiration and shared optimism about the future. They showed a brief clip of it, but I had the sound off in the bar because the jukebox was on, so I didn't hear what it was about.' 'They walked across the White House lawn,' Blakely added, 'and then Clinton waved confidently and got into a limo. Or maybe it was a helicopter and a thumbs-up sign. I forget which one it was. Hard to say, really.' In addition to ties, the two men had very expensive suits, fancy watches, gold tie clips, shiny cufflinks and well-polished shoes, as well as very nice, expensive pens in their breast pockets. Clinton's visitor also had an important-looking leather attache case which sources said complemented and accentuated the imposing-yet-elegant effect created by his tie. While talking, Clinton and the guy with the tie sat on classy armchairs in a fancy sitting room furnished with expensive carpeting and antique oaken furniture, as well as numerous valuable decorative items, including paintings, baubles and various tokens of appreciation from foreign heads of state. There was also reportedly some sort of coffee-table-type thing between them, upon which they were presumably able to set things down. Among the objects believed to have been placed on this alleged table are the presumably very important pieces of paper from inside the briefcase of the tie-wearing man. During the historic meeting, the chairs were most likely angled together slightly so that the president and the guy in the tie could face each other yet still have plenty of freedom of movement and leg room. It is also believed that coffee and other refreshments were served or, if not, at least available if requested. Upon the conclusion of the closed-door, two-tie conference, Clinton paused briefly to meet with his tie-clad staff before leaving the White House to address a roomful of other people in ties in Maryland later that day. The guy with the tie, who characterized the talks with Clinton as 'very promising,' also departed, acknowledging cameramen with a brief, perfunctory hand-wave/head-tilt gesture while getting into a car with other tie-wearers. 'These two people definitely met with each other, and whatever the man with the tie said was, in some respect at least, extremely significant,' said CNN White House analyst Jonathan Heiler. 'It must have been, or it wouldn't have been important enough to necessitate a meeting with the president of the United States himself. Everything he does is, as near as we can tell, very significant and noteworthy. Just how noteworthy this will prove to be in the long run, well, it's still just too soon to tell.' 'But it's definitely important,' Heiler added. Of the two men's ties, it is believed that Clinton's was slightly fancier. 
1	As industry insiders had been predicting for weeks, Daniel Craig was a big winner at last nights 85th Academy Awards ceremony after the 44-year-old actor took home the Pretty Good Actor Award, Hollywoods highest achievement in doing a fairly solid job at acting in a movie. Its an honor even to be nominated alongside such decent actors who arent going to change your life but are still, you know, reliably pretty good in the right movie, said Craig, referring to fellow nominees and perfectly fine actors Dennis Quaid, Jude Law, Sam Worthington, and Eric Bana. I have to thank Sam [Mendes, director] for getting a passable enough performance out of me. Hopefully we can make another not-amazing-but-not-too-bad movie together some day. Other notables receiving awards included Eh, Perfectly Fine Director winner Bryan Singer and Prometheus, which won for Mostly Okay Picture. 
1	The unusually successful Under Armour athletic wear company celebrated five years of market domination Thursday, presenting financial records and surveys indicating it has commanded an 88 percent share of the U.S. arrogant high-school-aged-steroid-dickhead demographic since 2007. 'We're proud to be the leisure and exercise garment of choice for roided-out cocks who treat others like garbage,' said Under Armour founder and CEO Kevin Plank, who set his sights on the athletics-focused teenaged prick in 1996 and never looked back. 'Of course, we're going to lose a few sales to Hollister and Ed Hardy when our asshole customers need formal wear, but that's just the business. Suck it, faggots!' The company is expected to remain dominant until its current young-belligerent-asshole customers age out of Under Armour and into generic sweatpants, generous-fit blue jeans, and polyester-blend police uniforms.

2	Military Turns On Obama, Go Behind His Back And Drop MASSIVE Bombshell According to recent reports, an experienced Green Beret has just released a scathing statement that outlines exactly why our military has struggled to defeat radical Islam. The officer filed his witness statement after a botched airstrike that occurred at the end of September and into early October. That was when the U.S. mistakenly hit a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz, killing 42 staff and patients. The Green Beret, whose name was redacted, claims that the command centers for the operation essentially abandoned the men in Kunduz has they fought for almost three days straight. He accused the leaders of moral cowardice. He argued that when a mission asks for guidance and receives nothing back over a 96-hour period, thats an abject failure of leadership. [There is] a fine line between not conducting operations to keep people out of harms way and not conducting operations in such a fashion that it actually increases overall risk to force and risk to mission, he commented, adding that the approach was a recipe for disaster. He goes on to describe a decrepit state that is growing out of the expansion of moral cowardice, careerism and compromise devoid of principle, exchange for cheap personal gain. An investigation into the special operations centers by U.S. Central Command have corroborated his claims, revealing several failures to follow proper procedure. This is absolutely outrageous, but we are not surprised that this is the state of our defense in the hands of President Barack Obama. What do you think? Are we in desperate need of a new Commander in Chief? 
1	Seeing him this weekend for the first time since the holidays, the family of local widower Gene Riggs spoke glowingly of the 87-year-old, hailing him as alert and aware of what was going on around him. It was fantastic. He really seemed with-it, like he was following the conversation, Riggs granddaughter Michelle Traeger said of the elderly man, who received great acclaim for the level of lucidity he displayed both during and after dinner, when relatives sat him down to watch the end of the Diamondbacks game. And anytime we said something to him, he perked up and seemed to know exactly who we were and what we were talking about. Such a treat to see Grandpa Gene so responsive. Laudatory family members went on to lavishly praise the octogenarians ability to just keep going on after so many years.

3	Google: data requests from US government more than tripled over past three yearsMadison Ruppert Its interesting to note that the government essentially forces the company to leave out a great deal of information in their transparency reports, indicating that the numbers are actually higher than those published in their reports. In the first half of 2013 alone, the U.S. government submitted 10,918 requests for data on 21,683 Google users, according to the report. Compare that figure to only 3,580 requests in the U.S. for the first half of 2009, the first period for which Google released data. Those figures do not include the highly controversial surveillance programs run by the National Security Agency (NSA), which reportedly involve intercepting Googles traffic between data centers. The numbers only cover law enforcement investigations. Richard Salgado, legal director of law enforcement and information security for Google, noted that these numbers only include the requests were allowed to publish. The number of requests from the U.S. is especially staggering when compared to the rest of the world. All governments around the world combined filed only 25,879 requests covering 42,500 accounts in the first half of 2013. That means that the U.S. filed almost one half of all of the worlds requests. Of the requests filed by the U.S. with Google, 83 percent were complied with, while only 63 percent of the total worldwide requests were complied with. We believe its your right to know what kinds of requests and how many each government is making of us and other companies, Salgado wrote. However, the U.S. Department of Justice contends that U.S. law does not allow us to share information about some national security requests that we might receive. Salgado wrote that the U.S. government argues that no information about requests received under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) can be shared with the public. All FISA requests come with a built-in gag order that prevents the recipient from revealing the government request. There are now attempts in Washington to bring more accountability to the NSA surveillance programs through new legislation, though the Obama administration claims it would actually harm the privacy of Americans.

2	BREAKING: Obama Subpoenaed And Forced To Answer Questions About Hillary Earlier this year, government agencies seemed to go above and beyond to make sure that Hillary Clinton was not indicted for her careless use of a private email server to discuss classified information. Now, it appears that those who assisted her in this scandal are finally going to see justice for what they did. Spokespersons for the Department of Justice, State Department, FBI, Department of National Intelligence, The CIA, The Geospatial Intelligence Agency, and the NSA are reportedly facing the Oversight and Government Reform Committee this week. Group members will also be forced to explain their reluctance to share key details of Hillary Clintons endangerment of U.S. National Security. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do these people deserve to be punished for helping Hillary get away with her crimes? 
1	In a blunder being attributed to 'clerical oversight,' the Chicago ad agency of Meacham & Braun accidentally kept the rsum of recent University of Illinois graduate Chris DiMaio on file Monday. 'We regret the inadvertent fulfillment of our promise to Mr. DiMaio to retain his rsum for future reference should a position that suits him become available at Meacham & Braun,' said agency director Thomas Graydon. 'As a result of this error, we are investigating our rsum-processing system and are confident that future rsums remitted to us, with the exception of those few that impress us, will be disposed of surreptitiously while we pacify the applicant with platitudes.' 
2	Not Only Does Walmart Endorse Shariah Law, But You Wont Guess What Else Theyre Funding... According to some shocking new reports, it appears that retail superstore WalMart has been donating millions of dollars to Al Sharptons organization the National action Network. Now, the National Legal and Policy Center is demanding the WalMart drop its support for the group, especially after the role Sharpton has played in the shooting of two NYPD officers. His No Justice, No Peace campaign following the Michael Brown shootings has done nothing but stir up controversy. Read the letter from the organization below, and tell us what you think! Will you refuse to shop at WalMart until they stop funding Sharptons criminal behavior? We ask that Walmart end its financial support of Al Sharpton and his organization, the National Action Network (NAN). The cold-blooded murder of two New York City police officers, Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, follows weeks of Sharptons vilification of law enforcement personnel. As you know, Walmart has helped bankroll Sharpton for years. Most recently, the company was a sponsor of Sharptons 60th birthday party in New York City, which reportedly was a fundraiser for NAN that raised a million dollars. We have repeatedly raised the issue of your support for Sharpton, including at the Walmart annual meeting. You cannot lay any claim to corporate social responsibility as long as you write checks to Sharpton. This is not the first time that violence and loss of life have followed Sharptons agitation, such as in the 1991 Crown Heights riots and the 1995 Freddys Fashion Mart incident. Sharptons involvement in these and other abhorrent episodes, such as the Tawana Brawley hoax, are a matter of record. You cannot claim that you are unaware of Sharptons past record of anti-Semitism and incitement. Other corporations support NAN, and we will be making the same request of them, but Walmart is the biggest and most prominent corporation funding Sharpton. It is essential that Walmart lead the way in disassociating corporate America from Sharptons demagoguery. Police officers are working people whose dedication and professionalism help keep us all safe. They are also Walmart customers and shareholders. You can demonstrate your support for law enforcement by ending your support for Sharpton without delay. 
1	Claiming that the phone had been ringing off the hook all morning, Bengals owner and general manager Mike Brown told reporters Tuesday that representatives from every NFL franchise had contacted the Bengals organization to insist they absolutely do not want quarterback Carson Palmer. 'As soon as the news got out that Carson wanted to be traded, coaches and general managers were just clamoring to let me know what a bad fit he would be for any team wanting to win football games,' said Brown, adding that he was also contacted by several CFL teams expressing their uninterest in the Bengals starting quarterback. 'Some teams have been hounding me five or six times a day just to let me know how badly they didn't want to see Carson Palmer in one of their uniforms next year.' Brown confirmed that at least two dozen teams had offered the Bengals draft picks in exchange for a guarantee that the organization wouldn't try to make a deal for Palmer. 
3	If You Live In California Things Just Got A Whole Lot WorseMichael Snyder, Contributor Just like Greece, California has had round after round of austerity and yet still cannot seem to balance the budget. Gov. Jerry Brown announced on Saturday that the states deficit has ballooned to $16 billion, a huge increase over his $9.2-billion estimate in January. The bigger deficit is a significant setback for California, which has struggled to turn the page on a devastating budget crisis. Brown, who announced the deficit on YouTube, is expected to outline his full budget proposal on Monday in Sacramento. This means we will have to go much further, and make cuts far greater, than I asked for at the beginning of the year, Brown said in the video. During his remarks on YouTube, Governor Brown stated that California is still recovering from the worst recession since the 1930s and he stressed that hard choices are ahead. But the California state government has already cut back in so many places. For example, back in the late 1970s the state of California was number one in per-pupil spending on education, but now California has fallen to 48th place. Unfortunately, Governor Brown does not believe that budget cuts alone will solve the problem. So you know what that means. Tax increases! The tax increases that California voters will be voting on in November were outlined in a recent Bloomberg article. Brown this week submitted more than 1.5 million signatures to place the tax measure on the ballot. It would temporarily raise the state sales tax, already the highest in the U.S., to 7.5 percent from 7.25 percent. It would also boost rates on income starting at $250,000. The 10.3 percent levy on those making $1 million or more would rise to 13.3 percent, the most of any state. Get ready to fire up the moving vans.The rest of the California economy may be falling apart, but moving companies will continue to do very well. As I have written about previously, California has already experienced a net loss of approximately four million residents to other states over the past 20 years. If the top rate on those making a million dollars or more a year hits 13.3 percent you will see a lot more wealthy people leave. And thousands of businesses have left California in recent years as well. Sadly, one survey found that CEOs ranked California as the worst place in the United States to do business for seven years in a row. You would think that the state legislature would get the message.Unfortunately they have not.California absolutely suffocates businesses with rules and regulations and it gets worse with each passing year.So lots of good jobs continue to leave the state. As mentioned earlier, the official rate of unemployment in California is sitting at 11 percent. That is almost 3 points higher than for the nation as a whole. Of course the official numbers greatly understate the true scope of the unemployment problem, but for more on that you can check out this article.However you want to look at it, the reality is that California has a massive unemployment problem.Sadly, a whole bunch of unemployed workers in California are about to lose their unemployment benefits. On Saturday, more than 200,000 unemployed Americans were dumped off the unemployment rolls. Close to half of them live in California.Instead of 99 weeks, unemployed workers in California will now only be able to collect unemployment benefits for a maximum of 79 weeks.It is estimated that a total of 93,000 people in California have suddenly lost their benefits as a result of this change. Unfortunately, the truth is that the employment picture in California is not really getting any better. It is still incredibly difficult to find a decent job.Unless you are connected, it can be a horribly frustrating experience trying to find a new job in this economic environment. But if you are truly desperate, there are some folks out there who are always hiring. These days, national security is quite a growth industry. For example, if you are currently unemployed you can always apply to work as an Internment/Resettlement Specialist for the National Guard. While the economy is going to pot, you can get paid to lock up other Americans that are protesting about the state of our country. Doesnt that sound fun? But seriously, if you live in California right now you probably dont need anyone else to tell you how bad things are.You probably already know that the number of children living in poverty in the state of California has increased by 30 percent since 2007. California is rapidly changing, and not for the better. But it is not just the economy that is falling apart in California. The truth is that there are a whole host of good reasons to move away from California. The traffic is nightmarish, crime is on the rise, the gangs are bigger and more active than ever before, millions of illegal immigrants have poured into the state, and the control freak politicians become more insane with each passing year. Plus there is the constant threat that your home will be destroyed by a mudslide, a wildfire or an earthquake. One of these days the big one will hit California. You do not want to be there when that happens. But if you decide that you do want to move from California, what is the best state to move to? That is a very good question.The truth is that economic conditions are horrible in most of the country and are rapidly getting a whole lot worse. According to one poll, 30 percent of all Americans described the condition of the economy as good back in February but only 20 percent do now. When we enter the next major economic downturn, unemployment is going to go higher everywhere in the nation. There will be small pockets where jobs are still plentiful (where the oil industry is strong for example) but almost everywhere else will be really hurting. So what do all of you think? For people looking to move away from California, where should they go? Please feel free to post a comment with your thoughts below. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	In a historic development for gender parity in the American workplace, recently laid-off consultant Paula Saunders, 32, is at last earning an income identical to that of her unemployed male counterparts. Right now, Im earning the same amount of money for the same amount of work as [former coworker] Greg [Lowell], who, just like me, started in 2004 and was laid off last week with no severance package, a visibly proud Saunders told reporters Monday while sitting on her couch at two in the afternoon. Finally, after years of trying to achieve equality, its nice to know that my gender isnt a financial strike against me. The glass floor has been shattered. According to company sources who wished to remain anonymous, it was no coincidence that Saunders employment was terminated two months after telling her bosses she was pregnant.

Rest assured, this lowly worm shall pay dearly for his incompetence. That is all. While the Elders of the High Council of Minerva have not yet settled on an appropriate punishment, they are reportedly considering some combination of spine extraction, laser eye-immolation, and a highly complicated process whereby the four-term senators pathetic earth body would be condensed into a small pellet and shot at high speeds into the planets molten core. Despite these reports, representatives for Sen. Lieberman said he is still scheduled to attend Saturdays Nook Farm Harvest Festival in Hartford. 
2	BREAKING: President Fathered Love Child With Mistress After Sex In The Closet Exposed According to recent reports, relatives of President Warren G. Harding have just revealed that the president did, in fact, have a love child with his mistress Nan Britton. The affair first came public in 1927, when Britton authored a memoir that described her sexual encounters with the president in a West Wing closet. At the time, the public did not entirely believe that Harding was the father of Elizabeth Ann, born in 1919. A large part of the skepticism stemmed from the fact that his family claimed he was sterile. The mystery was never entirely solved, as Elizabeth Ann refused to take a DNA test. In fact, the new revelation only came to light because her son, James Blaesing, was determined to know the truth. When he was approached by Hardings relative, Dr. Peter Harding, he obliged. Its sort of Shakespearean and operatic, Dr. Harding told the New York Times, after the conclusion was revealed. This story hangs over the whole presidential history because it was an unsolved mystery. Some family members were less willing to accept the information, however. Im not questioning the accuracy of anybodys tests or anything, Hardings grandnephew Dr. Richard Harding told reporters. I hope theyll find their new place in history is meaningful and productive for them. What do you think of the solved mystery? 
3	Using Nature to Solve Natures ProblemsHeather Callaghan Daniel Salatin, the son of popular Polyface Farms Joel Salatin, has combined animals to maximize space and uses nature to solve natures problems. A fascinating new mini-film by Kristin Canty, who brought us Farmaggedon: I adore Joel Salatin and love the fact that he has been such an outspoken advocate for farmers and farmers rights. There is, however, a completely unsung hero living on the same farm and with the same last name: Joels son, Daniel. I met so many farmers doing very interesting things while I was filming and screening Farmageddon, and I vowed to go back and film as many of them as I could. Warning: This film may not be for people that love bunnies. I think that what Daniel Salatin has done at Polyface with the Rackin House is a great model for a beginning farmer who may not have a lot of space. As you will see in the film, the Rackin House can produce rabbits and eggs, as well as nutrient dense soil, and one could even layer plants on top of the bunnies. This model could be used in the city also, which is why I thought it was so cool. I also love the Salatin mantra: Use nature to solve natures problems.

2	You Wont Believe The Dolls Barbie Launched For Their 50 Year Anniversary According to recent reports, Barbie just made the controversial decision to release the latest new iconic doll, complete with a burka. The new Barbie is shown wearing traditional Islamic dress with a mesh eyehole, and was displayed at an auction house in Florence, Italy to raise money for Save the Children. The auction was part of celebrations held for Barbies 50th anniversary. The display included a set of multicultural Barbies, including a line of turquoise, lime-green, and orange-colored burkas, as well as hijab. They were dressed by Italian designer Eliana Lorena in a project that was backed by Mattel. Of course, the launch has not gone without controversy. Some fans are defending the decision of the doll-maker, claiming that it gives Islamic children a doll that they can identify with. Other critics, like Barbara Kay from Canada, slammed the doll as a symbol of oppression. I have seen some pretty tawdry advertising campaigns in my time, but I must say this one takes the cake for insensitivity, Kay writes. Whats next in dolls that are important for girls to play with? Illiterate Barbie? Forced-Marriage Barbie? In fact, Kay feels that Burka Barbie is a mockery of disempowered women. What do you think of the new doll? Are you shocked at Mattels decision to support the release? 
2	Top Democrat Just Resigned In Disgrace After Sinister Discovery Reveals The Unthinkable According to recent reports, Rep. Chaka Fattah was convicted earlier this week of charges including racketeering, bank fraud, mail fraud and wire fraud. Not surprisingly, his resignation followed shortly thereafter. Mr. Fattah has betrayed the trust of this institution and the people of Pennsylvania, and for that he should resign immediately from the House of Representatives, House Speaker Paul Ryan issued in a statement. We must hold members to the highest ethical standard, and I hope that Democratic leaders will join me in seeking his immediate resignation. Fattah had previously stated that he would resign in October, but he changed his tune. In my previous letter I indicated a later resignation date in order to provide for an orderly transition of my officer after 21 years of service in the House, Fattah wrote. However, out of respect for the entire House Leadership, and so as not to cause a distraction from the Houses work for the people, I have changed my effective date. This week, a jury in a Philadelphia courthouse found Fattah guilty of numerous federal charges, including bribery and money laundering. Fattah could face life in prison, since several of the changes carry a 20-year sentence. Todays decision notwithstanding, it has been my privilege to serve the constituents of the Second Congressional District for over 20 years, Fattah said in a statement shortly after his conviction. It was reported that Fattah, along with some of his co-defendants illegally obtained a $1 million loan in 2007, which they helped repay by using federal and charitable funds. What do you think of Fattahs decision? 
3	Police Dig Into the Underwear of Pulled Over Drivers and PassengersAmanda Warren For the record, not even the most broadly written, police-state favorable laws are supporting these actions. Yet, the police are confidently acting on them as though they have permission and have the right within the confines of law. There isnt even probable cause in the report below. Above: Jodie Fleischer of Channel 2 News discusses what drivers have reported to her. Her writeup recounts quite a few disturbing incidents. He is clearly protesting in this dash cam video here, where he is conveniently taken outside the camera view, for his privacy. The police officer who tells him he is suspected for possession of drugs later says, Did I say? and continues to emphasize how much privacy he has, as though he should be grateful. Phillips describes his experience: His attorney, Mark Bullman, says: If you pat the outside of someones pants you can clearly identify whether or not somebody has a firearm or something of that nature. You cant be moving peoples clothing and opening them, particularly in situations where theres not been a custodial arrest. Notably, the people handcuffed and/or searched believed they were only saying yes to a pat-down search not excessive handling, groping, hands up shorts and bare hands inside underpants and fondling parts. Presumably, they would not have permitted that kind of personal violation, which is why lawsuits are forthcoming. The moral of the story to drivers and passengers in Georgia is, as the news reporter concludes DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION FOR A SEARCH. Never say yes, never imply its okay. A question nags: what happens to people who say no, thereby revoking verbal consent? Unfortunately, little is said about what happens if you are taken to the station for a private search when you deny permission for a roadside body search. The news video seems to imply that you would be searched in the station, and can only avoid the added embarrassment of roadside publicity. But would you be taken to the station at all if you said, NO? And why are people in minor stops having to get out of the vehicle at all or placed in handcuffs?

2	Dolly Parton Takes Heroic Action To Save Tennessee Wildfire Victims The wildfire in Tennessee has spread through Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National park. More than 14,000 people have had to evacuate their homes, and 11 people have lost their lives. There has been shockingly little coverage of the fire through mainstream sources, but one star in the public light is steeping up in a major way. Dolly Partons foundation will reportedly be donating $1,000 a month to all of the families who lost their homes in the fire. They will receive this month each month for six months, or until the victims can get back on their feet. As you may know by now, there have been terrible wildfires in the Great Smoky Mountainsthe same mountains where I grew up and where my people call home, Parton said in a statement on her website. I have always believed that charity begins at home, she continued. Thats why Ive asked my Dollywood Companiesincluding the Dollywood Theme Park and DreamMore Resort; my dinner theater attractions including Dixie Stampede and Lumberjack Adventure; and my Dollywood Foundation to help me establish the My People Fund. Do you applaud Dollys efforts?

3	How to be a PrepperBut Not One of Those Crazy OnesDaisy Luther Maybe it made sense in principle, but then you watched that guy and his wife filter and drink their own pee on Doomsday Preppers and you said, Oh, heck no. Maybe you were considering the wisdom of storing some extra supplies when you read about the survivalist who holed up in a fully stocked bunker with a little boy he had kidnapped, and you thought, Thats way too much crazy for me. No way. Maybe youve been witnessing the mainstream medias demonization that makes it sound like those in the preparedness community are angry militia members, hoarders, or fruitcakes who are preparing for the next Great Flood. Well, I cant tell you that extreme people dont exist they do, in every segment of the population. But most of the time, youd never realize someone was a prepper unless they came right out and told you. One prepping family a know has a dad, a mom, 3 kids, a cat, and a dog. They live in the country with a few acres of farmland. They raise chickens. They stockpile. But they also go out to the movies, shop at department stores, and let their children go to sleepovers at other kids houses. They barbecue on the 4th of July, and they have ham on Christmas. Another family I know consists of a grandma and grandpa. They prep not only for themselves, but for their daughters, sons-in-law, and grandchildren. They go to church on Sunday, are active volunteers in their community, and have the best garden Ive ever seen. My family is relatively normal too. Im a single mom, with one daughteraway atcollege on an academic scholarship and another daughterin high school. We live in a cute little Victorian house in the country. We grow veggies and theres a chicken coop in the yard. I preserve what we grow and we have a tidy little stockpile stashed away just in case. For fun, we like to read and hike, and this year at Christmas, were having a Mexican fiesta instead of a turkey. I drive a Mom SUV and last year I was part of the PTA. Youd never know, running into any of us, that we are prepared to handle all sorts of crazy situations. We dont wrap our heads in tinfoil, we dont have bunkers (although, holy cow, it sure would be cool to find one already there when you bought that little old wartime bungalow youve been eying), and we dont have to walk sideways through our halls to squeeze between all the boxes of supplies. The fact of the matter is, if you take OPSEC (OPerational SECurity) seriously, there are absolutely no obvious signs that your family is into preparedness. But that kind of prepperdoesnt make for good television or dramatic headlines. Thats why it seems like were ALL extreme, when that couldnt be further from the truth. When they arent pushing the kooky extremist stuff or warning of a dangerous survivalist-run-amok, the mainstream media likesto poke fun at preppers. In pretty much every article, you see the word preppers residing inside a pair of quotation marks, like it isnt even a real word, but is some kind of made-up term. Sometimes they go past poking fun to all-out scorn and derision. However, recently the media has warmed up to the idea of preparedness. It only took one man dying in Texas of a horrifying virus to get them to see that maybe preppers arent so crazy after all. Maybe this more positive coverage is why youre here, reading this article.With all of the things going on in the world right now, you may be considering adding some preparedness supplies to your life. Read on and learn why you should take the plunge. I know, that sounds sort of gloomy. And Im not a gloom and doom prepper at all. But sometimes disaster is the only word that fits. These are NOT outrageous Armageddon-style situations, but things that can happen to any of us. Nearly everyone has experienced one or more of these scenarios, and in each of them, some basic preparedness supplies would have made their lives much easier. We cant control whether or not disasters happen, but we can control our response to them. See what I mean? Is it really THAT unreasonable that any of the above scenarios could occur? Theyve happened before and theyll definitely happen again. You cant control the weather or the economy or the actions of an irresponsible industry, but you can be prepared to take care of your family. Remember when you were a little kid, and something bad happened? You went to your mom or dad, and they fixed it. You didnt have to resolve the issue yourself, because there was an adult who would handle it. But remember also that you had no choice whatsoever on how it was handled. If their solution was that you would have to go without an item you felt you needed, you went without. If they sent you to your room and took away your privileges, you didnt have much recourse. If they replaced a lost or damaged item with one you didnt actually want or like, well, you were totally at the mercy of their decision. If they were busy and delayed resolving your problem until they had time, you had no option but to abide by their schedule, waiting until they decided (and if they decided) to help. Maybe their assistance was qualified: Ill replace X broken item as soon as you finish cleaning your room and mowing the lawn. Its a lot like that with FEMA and other governmental response agencies. They get there when they get there, they dole out the supplies they deem necessary in the quantities that they deem appropriate. They can use these supplies to control you by requiring certain actions from you before you are allowed to have your rations doled out. You have to wait in line behind the others who got there first and take whatever is left. Heaven forbid youre at the end of the line and supplies run out before you get any. Doesnt that sound a lot like reverting to childhood? Do you really want to be dependent upon the whims of others for your basic necessities? Preparedness means youve taken responsibility for your family no matter what situation arises. You wont be standing in the FEMA lines with an angry crowd, waiting for an MRE and a bottle of water to ration out across your family. It means youve embraced adulthood and you arent waiting to be rescued. Fact #3: Personal responsibility is actually a sign of excellent mental health. Speaking to the whole preppers are crazy stigma, dont you think that taking responsibility for your own well-being is a sign of great sanity? In fact, wouldnt the following be signs of poor mental health? Someone who can prepare for and accept reality is much more easily able to adapt to a fluid situation. It gives you the ability to think on your feet and move immediately to a solution, instead of wallowing in the cognitive dissonance of, This cant be happening. When you look at the scenarios listed above, isit really at allrational to say, This wont happen so I dont need to prepare? They have happened, and they will again. Preparedness is the sanest possible response in the face of this evidence. Although we have the mainstream reputation of being immersed in gloom and doom all the time, there is nothing more optimistic than preparedness. I wrote about this recently: If you want to be able to peacefully meet challenges and provide for your family without panic, prepping is where its at. Even the kids deal better with scary situations when they know that mom and dad have things under control. Developing your skills and survival mindset will take you far in facing any challenge. Maybe the recent news headlines have brought you here, or perhaps a friend who cares about you emailed you a link to this article. If youve gotten this far and what Ive said makes sense to you, here are a few tips to get your started. There are links in each section where you can go to learn more about that topic. At the end is a resource list with some shortcuts and some useful books. Dont feel like you have to do every single thing RIGHT NOW. This is just a preparedness overview. If you never buy a single canned good or bag of pasta for long term food storage, please store water. Just this year, three communities have suddenly had water crises that left shelves cleared. A full months supply of drinking water for a family of 4 is approximately $150, give or take a little, depending on the prices in your area. I recommend the refillable 5 gallon water jugs for this. As well, fill empty containers with tap water that can be safely used for pets, for flushing, and for cleaning and hygiene purposes. This is a small investment to make for your familys security and well-being in the event of an emergency. Once you have water stored, consider adding filtration devices, secondary water sources, and water harvesting to your preparedness endeavors. You can learn more about water storage HERE, HERE, and HERE. Lots of preppers like to keep a years supply of food on hand. If youre just getting started out, that can be incredibly overwhelming. Start out smaller than that focus first on an extra two weeks, then on a months supply. You can always build from there. Keep in mind when building your emergency food supply that you might not have electricity during some disasters. In that case, youll want to have food that doesnt require lengthy (or any) cooking times. Look for just-add-water dehydrated foods, or better yet, foods that dont need to be cooked at all.Find a list of foods that dont require cooking HERE. Do not make the mistake of loading your pantry with nutritionless processed foods. In a crisis event, you want your body to work optimally, and junk in means junk out. Focus on nutrient-dense foods for good health and energy no matter whats going on in the world around you. Learn how to build a pantry HERE. Find a short-term food supply list HERE. A great starting point for someone who is just getting started on a preparedness journey is prepping specifically for a two-week power outage. If you can comfortably survive for two weeks without electricity, you will be in a far better position than most of the people in North America. Lighting is absolutely vital, especially if there are children in the house. Nothing is more frightening than being completely in the dark during a stressful situation. Fortunately, its one of the easiest things to plan for, as well as one of the least expensive. Some lighting solutions are: Learn about prepping for a two week power outage in more detail HERE. Its an unfortunate fact that disaster situations bring out the worst in many people. Because of this, even if you stay safely at home, you could be called upon to defend your property or family. Some people loot for the sheer fun of it, others consider chaos a free pass to commit crimes, and still others are frightened and desperate. You can have a 10-year supply of food, water, and medicine, but if you cant defend it, you dont own it. The articleThe Anatomy of a Breakdownexplains the predictable patterns of social unrest. The best way to win a fight is to avoid getting into that fight in the first place.Secure your home and lay low, butbe prepared if trouble comes to visit. Here are some tips to make your home less of a target: Keep the curtains closed. Theres no need for people walking past to be able to see what you have or to do reconnaissanceon how many people are present. Dont answer the door.Many home invasions start with an innocent-seeming knock at the door to gain access to your house. Keep pets indoors. Sometimes criminals use an animal in distress to get a homeowner to open the door for them. Sometimes people are just mean and hurt animals for fun. Either way, its safer for your furry friends to be inside with you. Be armed and know how to use your weapon of choice. When the door of your home is breached, you can be pretty sure the people coming in are not there to make friendly conversation over a nice cup of tea. Make a plan to greet them with a deterring amount of force. Whatever your choice of weapon, practice, practice, practice. A weapon you dont know how to use is more dangerous than having no weapon at all. Heres some advice from someone who knows a lot more about weaponsthan I do. Have a safe roomestablished for children or other vulnerable family members. If the worst happens and your home is breached, you need to have a room into which family members can escape. This room needs to have a heavy exterior door instead of a regular hollow core interior door. There should be communications devices in the room so that the person can call for help, as well as a reliable weapon to be used in the event that the safe room is breached. The family members should be instructed not to come out of that roomFOR ANY REASONuntil you give them the all clear or help has arrived. Plan an escape route.If the odds are against you, devise a way to get your family to safety. Your property is not worth your life. Its very important to make a defense plan well before you need one. You want to act, no react. A common cause of illness, and even death, during a down-grid situation is lack of sanitation. Weve discussed the importance of clean drinking water, but you wont want to use your drinking water to keep things clean or to flush the toilet. For cleaning, reduce your need to wash things. Stock up on paper plates, paper towels, and disposable cups and flatware. Keep some disinfecting cleaning wipes and sprays (I dont recommend using antibacterial products on a regular basis, however in the event of an emergency they can help to keep you healthy.) Use hand sanitizer after using the bathroom and before handing food or beverages there may be a lot more germs afoot in a disaster. Look at your options for sanitation. Does your toilet still flush when the electricity is out? Many people discovered the hard way that the toilets didnt work when the sewage backed up in the highrises in New York City in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. At our cabin, the toilet wont flush without power because the pump is electric. If you are on a septic system, with no risk of the toilet backing up into the house, simply store some water for flushing in the bathroom. (At the first sign of a storm, we always fill the bathtub for this purpose.) Add the water to the tank so that you can flush. If this is not an option, another solution is to stock up on extremely heavy duty garbage bags (like the kind that contractors use at construction sites) and kitty litter. Place a bag either in your drained toilet or in a bucket. Sprinkle some kitty litter in the bottom of the bag. Each time someone uses the bathroom, add another handful of litter. Be very careful that the bag doesnt get too heavy for you to handle it. Tie it up very securely and store it outside until services are restored. If your power outage takes place in the winter and you live in a colder climate, heat is another necessity. During the first 24 hours after a power outage, you can stay fairly warm if you block off one room of the house for everyone to group together in. Keep the door closed and keep a towel or blanket folded along the bottom of the door to conserve warmth. You can safely burn a couple of candles also, and in the enclosed space, your body heat will keep it relatively warm. As well, dress in layers and keep everything covered wear a hat, gloves (fingerless ones allow you to still function), and a scarf. ClickHEREto learn how to stay warm with less heat. However, after about 48 hours, thats not going to be enough in very cold weather. You will require back-up heat at this point in certain climates. If you are lucky enough to have a source of heat like a fireplace or woodstove, youll be just fine as long as you have a supply of wood. Consider aportable propane heater (and propane) or an oil heater. You have to be very careful what type of backup heat you plan on using, as many of them can cause carbon monoxide poisoning if used in a poorly ventilated area. Also invest in aCO alarm that is not grid-dependent. Learn more about off-grid heat options HERE. Its important to have a basic first aid kit on hand at all times, but particularly in the event of an emergency. Your kit should include basic wound care items like bandages, antibiotic ointments, and sprays. As well, if you use them, keep on hand a supply of basic over-the-counter medications, like pain relief capsules, cold medicine, cough syrup, anti-nausea pills, and allergy medication. Particularly important if sanitation is a problem areanti-diarrheal medications. If you want to put together a more advanced medical kit, you can find a list HERE. This is something that will be unique to every family. Consider the things that are needed on a daily basis in your household. It might be prescription medications, diapers, or special foods. If you have pets, youll need supplies for them too. The best way to figure out what you need is to jot things down as you use them over the course of a week or so. Pandemics In light of the current panic over Ebola, pandemic preparedness may be the very reason youre reading this article and considering taking the leap. The good news is, if youre prepared for other situations, youre also prepared for many types of pandemics with only a few additions like protective clothing and specific sanitation supplies. In the event of a pandemic, the standard preparedness advice is to self-quarantine. You can learn more about Ebola-specific preparations HERE. Here is a general list of supplies to have on hand. Rememberthat sometimes power supplies are lost during a variety of situations, so keep the potential for a down-grid situation in mind when preparing. You dont have to get everything all at once. Just get started and build your supplies as you can. After a quick inventory and re-organization, you may be pleasantly surprised at how many supplies you actually have on hand.

1	Director Andrew Dominik announced Saturday that he was forced to scrap a new $80 million motion picture after reviewing footage and finding that the film's star, Brad Pitt, had a piece of spinach wedged between his front teeth throughout the three-month shoot. 'It's unfortunate, because Brad's performance was so great,' said Dominik, explaining that the spinach was visible in every scene in which Pitt opens his mouth. 'We tried to salvage it by adding a brief prologue before the credits where he's eating a bowl of spinach, but it's still too distracting, particularly because of all the scenes where his fellow actors rub their tongues over their teeth and slyly point at their mouths.' Earlier in postproduction, Dominik noticed that Mary-Louise Parker had mustard smeared on her face, but that problem was quickly solved by digitally inserting hot dogs into her hands every time she appeared on screen. 
3	California Shoots for Marijuana Legalization in 2016Phillip Smith Richard Lees groundbreaking Proposition 19 garnered 46.5% of the vote in the 2010 off-year election, and no marijuana legalization initiative campaigns managed to make it onto the ballot last year, although several groups tried. Meanwhile, Colorado and Washington beat California to the Promised Land, becoming the first states to legalize marijuana in last Novembers election. Now, California activists are eager to make their state the next to legalize, but crafty movement strategists are counseling patience and trying to build their forces in the meantime. The Prop 19 campaign made a strong beginning, bringing in elements of organized labor and the black and Hispanic communities, as well as dissident law enforcement voices, to help form a coalition that came close, but didnt quite make it. As CANORML assistant director Ellen Komp reminded the audience at a Saturday morning panel on what comes next for marijuana law reform, the people behind the Proposition 19 campaign have formed the core of the California Coalition for Cannabis Policy Reform in a bid to forge unity among the states diverse, multi-sided, and sometimes fractious marijuana community and to encourage new voices to join the struggle. MPP is envisioning a big legalization initiative push in 2016 instead, setting its sights on seven states, including California, when the presidential election pumps up the vote. (The others are Arizona, Massachusetts, Maine, Montana, Nevada, and Oregon.) Theres a big demographic difference between 2014 and 2016, said Kampia. If we do 2016, its ours to lose. The Drug Policy Alliance, another major player with access to the big-time funding that can turn an initiative into a winner, also seemed to be looking to 2016. Its up to us how, where, and when marijuana prohibition will end, said Steve Gutwillig, a DPA deputy executive director and former California state director, but the presumption is 2016, more than 2014. We need to run a unified campaign, we need to build the base and do alliance-building among people who are already convinced. Those positions are in line with the thinking of long-time CANORML head Dale Gieringer, who has long argued that initiatives fare better in presidential election years. Even some of the proponents of the competing initiatives from last year are, while not exactly enthusiastic about waiting for 2016, are seemingly resigned to it. Steve Collette, who was a proponent of the Regulate Marijuana Like Wine initiative, told the Chronicle he would prefer 2014, but could get behind 2016, too, while Sebastopol attorney Omar Figueroa, coauthor of the Repeal Cannabis Prohibition Act initiative, implied in his remarks in a later panel that he, too, was resigned to waiting for 2016. Noting the confused state of Californias medical marijuana laws Nobody knows what the laws are! Figueroa argued for either legislative action or a 2014 medical marijuana initiative until a legalization initiative in 2016. Not everyone was as ready to give up on 2014 just yet. Displeased grumblings were heard in the hallways, and an earnest advocate for the Herer-ite California Cannabis Hemp Initiative 2014 took advantage of a post-panel question-and-answer opportunity to declaim in support of it. The most powerful and visceral opposition to waiting came in the form of Daisy Bram, a mother of three young children and legal medical marijuana grower. Bram became a symbol of the cruelty of pot prohibition last year, when local authorities in rural Butte County raided her grow, seized her children and place them in foster care, and filed criminal charges against her. Despite being counseled to comply with the demands of Child Protective Services officials in order to secure the return of her children, one of whom was quite literally torn from her arms, Bram fought back and eventually won the return of children. But just this past week, it happened again. Another raid in another county although led by the same investigator has resulted in new criminal charges and her children once again being taken by the state. My kids need you, she told the hushed crowd. If it were legal, they wouldnt have my kids. Daisy Bram doesnt want to wait until 2016 for marijuana to be legalized, she wants it yesterday, and she wants justice, and, most of all, she wants her children back in her arms. Her brief presentation at a panel Saturday afternoon was chilling, impassioned, and powerful, and visibly moved many in the audience. And while California is a state where just about anyone can get a medical marijuana card and possession of under an ounce is decriminalized, the case of Daisy Bram makes the uncomfortable point that marijuana prohibition continues to exact a real toll on real people, including the innocent. Its not just mothers labeled child abusers because the grow pot; its also fathers denied visitation, renters thrown out of public housing, workers who must choose between their medicine and their jobs. Its a bit easier to be sanguine about waiting until 2016 when youre not the one being bitten by those lingering vestiges of prohibition. As Komp put it when introducing Bram, until there is legalization, there is a lot of human rights work to be done. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	Contestants on the television game show Wheel Of Fortune have been hit especially hard at the podiums in recent months due to skyrocketing vowel prices, which reached a record $600 last week. 'I remember a time when you could get an 'e' for $250,' 46-year-old contestant Samantha Means said after a Wednesday taping. 'But as Wheel contestants, we've become so dependent on vowels to solve puzzles that the producers can get away with jacking up prices because they know we'll pay them. We need a legitimate vowel alternative, but I don't think we're ready for that. I know I'm not.' According to Wheel Of Fortune show runner Charlie Clark, vowel prices are not likely to come down anytime soon unless America improves its standing in the Middle East. 
3	Ferguson Cop Advises Residents to Get a Gun: We will not be able to protect you or your familyDaisy Luther So real, in fact, that the governor of Missouri has already declared a State of Emergency and called in the National Guard. So real, in fact, that at least some of the local cops believecitizens need to arm themselves, because they know they wont be able to protect them from the chaos that is sure to ensue. A post on a local forum, St. Louis Cop Talk, is all the buzz right now. Someone posting under the username A Concerned Cop wrote: If you do not have a gun, get one and get one soon. We will not be able to protect you or your family, he wrote. It will be your responsibility to protect them. Our gutless commanders and politicians have neutered us. Im serious, get a gun, get more than one, and keep one with you at all times. Shortly after the post was picked up by the alternative media on Vocative.com, the forum was disabled. The locals are takingthe warningsseriously. One gun store owner reports a massive increase in sales induring the past week. These people are afraid, said Steve King, the owner of Metro Shooting Supplies in nearby Bridgeton. King says his store typically sells 30 to 40 firearms a week. This week, it has sold 250. One hundred percent of them are buying because of Ferguson. (source) Of course, those of us who are into preparedness have known this all along. As the saying goes, When seconds count, the cops are only minutes away. This will be especially true in the event of an eruption of civil unrest, fueled by racial tensions. Back in August, when the shooting occurred, violence, looting, and rampaging broke out across the Ferguson area, spilling over into nearby towns. This time promises to be even worse, if the panic stoked by the mainstream media and government press releases is anything to go by. The FBI has released its own warnings about the expected situation: The announcement of the grand jurys decision will likely be exploited by some individuals to justify threats and attacks against law enforcement and critical infrastructure, the FBI says in an intelligence bulletin issued in recent days. This also poses a threat to those civilians engaged in lawful or otherwise constitutionally protected activities. Those infiltrating and exploiting otherwise legitimate public demonstrations with the intent to incite and engage in violence could be armed The FBI bulletin expresses concern only over those who would exploit peaceful protests, not the masses of demonstrators who will want to legitimately, lawfully and collectively express their views on the grand jurys decision. The bulletin stresses the importance of remaining aware of the protections afforded to all U.S. persons exercising their First Amendment rights offreedom of speechand freedom of assembly. (source) If the government wanted a reason to crack down, tens of thousands of people rioting through the streets, setting fires, and committing crimes would definitely have people begging for protection. Whether this unrest is genuine or manufactured, the result is the same in the next day or so, this part of Missouri will be under siege. Perhaps, like me, you arent confident in the ability or urgency of others to care for your family. Its time to prepare your defenses. I wrote about this previously, but heres a refresher on what you can expect during periods of civil unrest and rioting, and how you can best prepare to protect your family. The most preventable issue in the event of civil unrest is running out of supplies. If you have to run out to the store that makes it far more likely that you will become the victim of a crime. The best advice I can give in all of this is to STAY HOME. But if you have no food and water, its difficult to do so. Here is a general list of supplies to have on hand. Rememberthat sometimes power supplies are lost during situations like this. Occasionally officials do this to gain more control over the populace and sometimes it happens as a side-effect of the wholesale destruction by the rioters. Keep the potential for a down-grid situation in mind when preparing. Secure your home. The best way to win a fight is to avoid getting into that fight in the first place. Secure your home and lay low, butbe prepared if trouble comes to visit. Here are some tips to make your home less of a target: If, despite your best efforts, your property draws the attention of people with ill intent,you must be ready to defend your family and your home. Its very important tomake a defense plan well before you need one. Not every criminal frolicking through a WROL zone is there to steal. Some people want to hurt people just for the rush of power it gives them. There is no pacifist answer to an encounter like this. If someone wants to do harm because they find it enjoyable, or because they are swept up in a mob mentality, you have to meet force with greater force. In these situations, firearms are the great equalizer. I cant repeat this enough: you must practice. Frequently. If you dont know how to use a firearm, you shouldnt have it. When you handle your weapon awkwardly, its veryobvious to a person who is trying to intimidate you. Likewise, ifyou are so comfortable with your weapon that it looks like a natural extension of your arm, that is also very clear. It sends a message that you mean businessand that you know what youre doing.No one wants to get shot.Most thugs will search for an easier target. Of course, its better still to avoid these encounters. When your city is under siege, its far safer to stay home. Dont go to work or send the kids to school. Wait until normalcy returns to go about your business. It isnt worth risking your life. Of enormous concern in these situations is the destruction of property. For some, vandalizing and destroying property is the order of the day. Often, times of civil unrest give people of a certain mentality the excuse they need to seek vengeance against those who have more than they do. Tensions erupt between the haves and the have-nots. When this occurs, often destruction of property is the way these people choose to show their power. While this starts out as purely a property crime, the situation can quickly turn violent. If someone is outside bashing the headlights of your vehicle, it isnt a far stretch to think that theyll bash on you if you confront them. How to respond to this is a very individual decision, and depends to a great extent on your personal skill levels and confidence. If you are a person who is unaccustomed to physical confrontations, you may be better off staying inside and calling your insurance company after the fact. No possession is worth your life or the lives of your family. Alternatively, in some situations, it wont stop with the destruction of your property. You may have to defend your home. Fire is of enormous concern in these types of scenarios. Fire is a cowardly attack that doesnt require any interaction on the part of the arsonist. It flushes out the family inside, leaving you vulnerable to physical assaults. Be ready for the potential of fire. Expect cops and soldiers to be harsh The reality is this: While many of the officers involved most likely just want to resolve the situation and go home to their families, the methods being used are not methods most of us wish to encounter. In a highly charged situation like this, police and military are trained to use the most efficient methods to speedily shut down a conflict.These methods can includeteargas, sound cannons, and outright physical assaults on citizens. Its important to note that fear can be a powerful motivator when deciding how much force is appropriate when addressing a threat. Cops are just as subject to fear as the rest of us. Twenty cops with shields and batons would bequite reasonable to fear an angry mob of hundreds of shouting people. Your safety when interacting with officials during a martial law situation does not rely on theintentions of police officers and military. It really doesnt matter if they are trying to crush your rights under a jack-booted heel, or whether they are trying to benevolently keep people safe and re-establish peace and harmony. Here are some suggestions to help keep you safe when dealing with cops and soldiers. Underneath the uniform, cops are human. Im not justifying the brutality, the methods theyre using, or the assaults on journalists. Cops are just as likely to be swept up in aherdmentalityas thugs are during a high stress situation. By understanding this, you canbe better prepared. Just stay home. I really cant repeat that often enough. Itsthe number one way to keep yourself safer from every single threat mentioned in this article. If you find yourself in an area under siege, the odds will be further on your side for every interaction in which you avoid taking part. Every single time you leave the house, you increaseyour chances of an unpleasant encounter. Nothing will be accomplished by going out duringa chaotic situation.

3	How To Re-elect a Tyrant: Step-by-step instructions for lovers of tyranny!Bernie Suarez, Contributor Lets step back and examine the task a little closer. Our task is to re-elect someone who has shown the world that they care not about individual freedom, human rights and human equality; someone that has already committed war crimes and is even holding a position that he is not qualified for and despite all of this we need to create an environment where this same person can be re-elected by winning the majority of votes (electoral votes) nationwide. Lets review the steps involved in re-electing tyrants. a. Control of Information Re-electing an individual of this nature requires first and most importantly a solid control of the information available to the masses. As psychologist discovered over a hundred years ago, there is a psychology to manipulating the masses; yes, there is a right way and a wrong way to do it. There is also a mild way and an extreme way to do it. Getting it right is, therefore, very important. b. Break off into teams NOTE: THESE TECHNIQUES WORK EVEN BETTER IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER TEAM OF THE SAME PARTY POSING AS THE OPPOSITION; TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE. With a controlled opposition, the pressure to please the boss is removed as the boss has already won, which also makes the task for the current tyrant much easier and pressure free. The tyrant knows that teams are made to play together so whether the tyrant wins or loses the election it will only be because this is how it is pre-planned according to the boss script (globalist central bankers). Breaking up into (2) separate teams, works perfectly hand in hand with the creating your own debate committee plan. The idea is to be your own boss and do not outsource control to any other entity that is not already on your team. Think of it as a corporation that only hires from within. This is exactly how to set up the staged public debates; like this the teammates can stage as many debates as necessary and have fun with the softball questions. c. Spark the competition Creating the illusion of choice depends on the public perception that if one team wins the other team will be very upset. The perception of dislike and genuine desire to beat the opponent has to be there. This energy will then fire up division between the followers of the teammates just like in sports. Employing sports psychology here is priceless and epically strategic. The tyrants team thus is responsible for coaching the general public into rallying around the tyrant if for no other reason than to defeat the teammates team. Think Yankees vs Red Sox here. MLB benefits greatly $$ every time these teams play each other regardless of who wins. A public relations department must nurture this dynamic for the tyrant to be re-elected. Slipping up on this critical tactic could allow other parties not involved in the private two-team agenda to gain some PR ground . . . no need to take chances. d. Dont leave anything to chance, lock in any necessary (Voting Fraud) technology Just in case (the people get ideas) make sure you have control of any voting machine technology or regulations that you will need to secure the election from any crazy people ideas. Be prepared, if necessary, to control the actual end results. This is another reason to lock in the final results as much ahead of time as possible. Keep your Michael Connell I.T. employees hidden from public view as much as possible so you dont have to be in the awkward position of having to blow up someones plane and then having the world accuse you of murdering your I.T. person who helped secure the election for you. Probably dealing with larger companies and private DISCLOSURE agreements is very smart, thereby forcibly silencing those that cooperate with your plan. Who needs another 2004 Michael Connell situation? e. Dont give up With the publicity battlefield so clearly outlined, and the players and rules pre-planned, re-election of a tyrant is a done deal. One need to only keep a pulse on the public perception, keep pumping money into the latest social media channels with your marketing messages and stay steady until you hit the finish line. Know and understand that the road to tyranny and the election and re-election of tyrants has been travelled by many before you. Know that governments and people who care not about humanity have been studying this tyrannical science for centuries to make sure these tactics and techniques work. Tyrants of the past and the present all know this, however; that their rule is temporary as are all things on earth. There is a time and a season for everything, even tyranny; for without tyranny humanity would likely not appreciate freedom. Such is the nature of life. Without death there would be no appreciation for life; and without evil and hatred there would be no appreciation for good and loving things. Tyrants know that human curiosity, critical thinking, honesty, accountability, justice, love, compassion, truth and integrity are all a major threat to their existence. They know that if humanity gets together and works together to implement solutions for the world, their days are done. They know that if this ever happened, if humanity is able to get together in one consciousness for the better of the species, they will face extermination and or removal from society to be cast away for ever. This is the way of nature and this is how humanity purges the infirmity that afflicts it. Like a tapeworm preventing the thriving of the human race, tyranny and totalitarianism is the obstacle in the way of the most powerful cognitive and spiritual revolution of consciousness humanity has possibly ever experienced. Until then, please share this article and continue being the change that will make this change come about.

3	The Banksters War on CashBy James Hall The pertinent portion of law that applies to your question is the Coinage Act of 1965, specifically Section 31 U.S.C. 5103, entitled Legal tender, which states: United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues. Now one might reasonably expect that conducting cash transactions would be guaranteed by the full weight and protection of the Federal Government. Such an assumption would be false, since the Banksters operate as a power beyond the law. The Zero Hedge report in Largest Bank In America Joins War On Cash, reveals a frightening trend. The war on cash is escalating. Just a week ago, the infamous Willem Buiter, along with Ken Rogoff, voiced their support for a restriction (or ban altogether) on the use of cash (something that was already been implemented in Louisiana in 2011 for used goods). Today, as Mises Jo Salerno reports, the war has acquired a powerful new ally in Chase, the largest bank in the U.S., which has enacted a policy restricting the use of cash in selected markets; bans cash payments for credit cards, mortgages, and auto loans; and disallows the storage of any cash or coins in safe deposit boxes. There is only one conclusion that can be drawn from such an anti-cash sentiment. Your property is no longer your own. This fundamental attack on the value of money should erupt in national outrage. However, a key reason why people continue in their daze is provided in the following stats. 75 Percent Of Americans Dont Have Enough Savings To Cover Their Bills For Six Months: Survey. If folks dont have any significant savings, accepting further restrictions on cash just does not seem that important to them. Such a response guarantees even further risks that the public cannot avoid. And this condition is not confined just to the United States. The Mises Institute European cites examples of The International War on Cash, in their extensive archives. Accompanying these cases is a report that The War On Cash Migrates To Switzerland. In addition, review The War on Cash Special Report, which provides several references on the assault to ban and eliminate cash. Lastly, The War on Cash in 10 Spine-Chilling Quotes provides an inclusive overview of the anti cash sentiment that is building among establishment authoritarians. All these illustrations forecast a coming disaster. Calling in the Federal Reserve notes and replacing the last vestige of a U.S. Dollar with some new accounting medium of exchange would surely incur a diminished purchasing value, when a swap takes place. Consumers are so conditioned to the rapid change in color and design of the Green Back that substituting a new currency will hardly turn into a national scandal. A run at banks to withdraw the merger sums in personal accounts will be met with the proverbial disdain that money center banks are so good at dispensing. This is the ultimate dilemma, between a rock and a hard place. One can already imagine the public comments from Treasury. Maybe bring back Hank Paulson for his public relation skills might just be the last straw for savers, but for the dependency class, few will even change the channel from their favorite Reality TV episode. Going to the Mattresses when your lock box is sealed by your banker is a very poor option for the average consumer. Security in a paper currency that can be recalled and pegged lower by government policy is dangerous. As for precious metals, who among us would not reasonably conclude that hoarders will risk the criminalization of their preparedness. Electronic money such as Bitcoins could and probably will be shut down as a method to establish a counterfeit money scheme. Remember that the legal tender laws can and will define what medium of exchange will constitute money under a fiat paper meltdown. There is no pure play of secure means to provide peace of mind. Those who propose putting all your chickens in one basket have not taken measures to protect against a bird flu money pandemic. Now is the time to place pressure on the entire banking system to demonstrate a modicum of social and economic responsibility to the customers and communities they are suppose to serve. Defending the too-big-to-fail money center institutions with a zero interest rate flow of credit inevitably results in a climate of eliminating cash as an alternative to earning a negative rate deposit policy. Banksters continue to operate their debt credit scam with virtual immunity. A historic financial storm is building. It will soon surpass the 2008 meltdown by an unimaginable degree. Those who believe personal debt will be ignored or forgiven, do not understand the nature of the financial plutocrats. Their control of political power is intact. Little suggests that this will change unless the nation revolts. The shortcomings of the Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street movements, while valuable in raising public awareness, never solidified into a national crusade against the international banksters. In order to grasp the opportunity, when a system-wide collapse occurs, people need to get their own house in order. Do not be part of the cashless society, because that course directly enables the monitoring, intimidation and control of your ability to survive. Boycott the mega banks and seek local and community friendly financial franchises. The war on cash must be fought before the only money available will only buy approved items at the government company store. Act now with urgency. Original article archived here 
3	The Dangers of Common CoreBy Stefan Molyneux I have no doubt the billhillary thieves Inc got their mits on a piece of the Orwelian core crap.

3	YouTube Removes Undercover Video Showing Whole Foods GMO MisinformationAnthony Gucciardi The video has since been removed due to apparently violating the Terms of Service, according to the genetic Youtube message that appears in place of the original video. As Infowars.coms Aaron Dykes explains, this could be due to a third party complaint (such as Whole Foods demanding it be taken down), but it is not known as YouTube no longer tells the user of the third party identity. In other words, videos like these can be taken down without a trace of who is responsible. You can see a re-upload of the video below: The YouTube video showing our store Team Members giving conflicting responses to a question about GMOs reminds us that while we try to keep all our 70,000 Team Members up-to-speed on the latest information, clearly we need to do more. Some products in our stores DO contain GMOs just like any other food store in the country, due to the pervasiveness of GMOs Whole Foods Should Abandon GMOs, Monsanto Just to be clear, I do believe that Whole Foods offers consumers a pretty considerable selection of organic non-GMO options at their stores. Many items contain the Non-GMO Project verified sticker, and they are certainly multitudes more in touch with real food than the average grocer. That said, it is important that we always keep corporations in line when it comes to protecting the health of ourselves and our families. Ever since the recent French GMO study found that Monsantos GMOs (and Roundup) were contributing to tumor growth and organ damage, the international alarm over GMOs has been louder than ever. This is the perfect time to spread the word over carriers like Whole Foods and Trader Joes who still carry GMOs within their natural health stores. After all, GMOs are not natural by any stretch of the word. The success of the Organic Spies video signifies a serious paradigm shift in the way the average individual looks at an average business. Whole Foods, like virtually all other corporations who focus on selling direct to customer, depends entirely on the purchases of the consumer. If consumers literally demand that Whole Foods removes tumor-linked GMOs from their stories, stopping a major flow of income to Monsanto and other biotech giants, then they will be forced to comply.

At press time, Romney staffers are already prepping for next weeks campaign reboot after remarks the Republican candidate just uttered at a voter rally in Pueblo, CO.

3	Former Al-Qaeda Operative Claims Qaeda/ISIS Run By The CIABrandon Turbeville In fact, according to Nabil Naeem, founding member of the Islamic Democratic Jihad Party and a former commander of al-Qaeda, all current al-Qaeda affiliates are nothing more than offshoots of an overarching CIA terror operation. He also claimed that these groups will eventually be turned against Saudi Arabia, despite the fact that Saudi Arabia has acted as a bankroller and facilitator for them for years on end. Naeem made his statements during the course of an interview with al-Maydeen , a Beirut-based news agency that serves a number of countries in the Middle East. The interview was translated by Arabi Souri of Syria News. This is the Fourth-Generation Warfare, agents instead of soldiers. Interviewer: This is an alternative army, a war by proxy? Nabeel Naiem: Yes of course. Interviewer: Between who (this war)? We are talking about armies on the ground, Al Qaeda and all what branches out of it, these armies work for the account of which battle and between who? Nabeel Naiem: It works for the US Intelligence (CIA). Interviewer: Who it fights? Nabeel Naiem: The regimes, they put a plan in 1998 called Clean Break (PNAC) The interviewer questioned Naeem further by asking whom groups like ISIS are actually fighting, referring to targets like Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Naeem responded by stating, It fights both Sunnah and Shiites, when they entered Sammerra, Sheikh Ali Hatimi, head of Anbar Tribes said: ISIS entered Sammerra and killed a thousand Sunni in cold blood and it kills Shiites and kills Christians and kills whoever it faces, ISIS considers all people infidels and their bloods are free. Although Naeem spent a significant amount of time attempting to explain the absurd logic of death squads fighters and members of jihadist organizations like ISIS, Nusra, and the like, the most powerful information is revealed when he turned to the nature of the controlling structure and directorship of these groups. Naeem stated, Ahmad Jarba, does he stay in Riyadh, Cairo or Tehran? Hes moving between New York, Paris and London, his employers, who pay his expenses.. When Obama was exposed and it was learned that hes arming ISIS and Nusra Front with American and Turkish weapons said: We will stop the arming because the American weapons were leaked to Nusra.. Didnt Obama say that? Leaked?! You discovered it was leaked after 2 years war?! Nusra Front fighters are 10,000 and ISIS fighters are another 10,000, all 20,000 fighters using American weapons, and Obama claims after 2 years he discovers his (American) weapons are leaked to them?! Are you thinking we are fools? This is a conspiracy against the region, and I told you Netenyahu Dick Chenney put the Clean Break plan in the year 1998, and its destroying 4 countries, they start with Iraq, then Syria then Egypt then Saudi Arabia. Its called Clean Break plan (PNAC), well known.. Using radical groups in the region. The legal case (former Egyptian president) Mohammad Morsi is being tried for, the case of communicating (with the enemy) and contacting Ayman Zawahri was an assignment of Issam Haddad by Obama in person on 28 December 2012, he was at the White House in a meeting with the CIA, he says in his confessions when interrogated by the public prosecution in the case.. Interviewer: How did you get it? Nabeel Naiem: These public prosecution confessions are published and are available.. Obama entered (the meeting room) and gave the CIA team a paper and left, they read it and told him: its required by the Muslim Brotherhood to contain the radical groups in the region starting with Hamas Al-Qaeda, so he called Ayman Zawahri through Rifaa Tahtawi, head of presidential court, who happens to be Aymans cousin from Rifaa Tahtawis phone. Ayman (Zawahri) talking to Mohammad Morsi and Morsi says to him: Peace be Upon You Emir (Prince) of Believers, we need your people here in Sinai, and I will provide them with expenses, food and water and prevent security from pursuing them.. This was recorded and sent to the public prosecutor and this is what Mohammad Morsi is being tried for. If you ask how I got to know this? I was in Channel 2 of Egyptian TV, and with me was General Gamal, 1st secretary of Egyptian Intelligence, who recorded the call and written it down and based on it the memo was written and handed to the Public Prosecutor. The TV presenter asked him: Is it allowed for the Intelligence Services to tap the telephone of the president of the republic? He replied: Im not tapping the presidents phone, I was tapping Aymans (Zawahri) phone and found the president talking to him, telling him Peace be Upon You Emir of Believers, so I wrote down the tape, wrote a report and submitted to the head of intelligence.. She asked him: Did you inform the president? He replied: Its not my job, I do not deal with the president (directly), I deal with the head of intelligence and thats my limits. She asked him: What did you write in your investigations and your own report, what did you write after you wrote down the tape (contents)? I swear to God he told her, I was in the same studio,: I wrote that Mr. Mohammad Morsi Ayyat president of the republic is a danger for Egypts National Security. So the ignorant should know why the army stood by the side of the people on 30 June, because the president is dealing with Al-Qaeda organization, and its recorded, and hes being on trial for it now, and head of intelligence wrote that the president of the republic is a danger on Egypts National Security. This is the task of these groups in the region. When Obama said he supported Morsis campaign with 50 million (Dollars), and when (Yousuf) Qaradawi said: Obama sent us 60 million Dollars for the Syrian Resistance, God bless you Obama, and we need more.. Did Obama convert to Islam or America became a Hijabi (wore a burqa, veil)? I ask Qaradawi: When Obama supports the Syrian opposition, is it to establish the Caliphate? And return the days of the Rashideen Caliphates? Or Obama converted to Islam or America became a Hijabi to support the Syrian opposition? This is the work of agents (spies), exposed and debunked, and we dont want to fool ourselves and hide our heads in the sand, the region is under a conspiracy and its to drag Iran to a war of attrition.. The first statement ISIS announced after the fight with Maliki it said: We will head to Najaf Karballa and destroy the sacred shrines, they dragged the legs of Iran (into Iraq). Iran said theyll defend the sacred shrines, it has to, it cannot (not defend them), this is whats required, Its required to clash Saudi and Iran in the 100 years war, an endless war, it exhausts Saudi resources and its monies, and it exhausts Iran resources and its monies, like what they did during the days of Saddam in Iraq (with Iran). This is what we should understand, fight and stand against.. In this lengthy statement, Naeem drew attention to a number of serious issues. First, he revealed that a number of leaders and commanders of death squads and jihadist organizations fighting against secular governments in the Middle East are actually issuing orders and residing in places like Tel Aviv, New York, Paris, and London. Indeed, Naeem points out that these leaders are comfortably residing in the countries that they have sworn to fight as enemies. These commanders give orders for attacks, war operations, and murders all while the intelligence agencies of respective nations sit idly by and lift not a finger to stop them. Second, Naeem highlighted the fact that the Muslim Brotherhood is yet one more Western-controlled group with deep connections to other terrorist organizations operating across the region. In fact, as Naeem pointed out, the Muslim Brotherhood not only works closely with death squad and terrorist organizations across the world, it acts as a guiding and controlling entity which takes its own orders directly from Western intelligence agencies. Third, Naeem pointed out that, not only has the plan of balkanization of the Middle East been in existence since at least as far back as 1998, but it also involves the ultimate destruction of Saudi Arabia, one of the most active participants in the funding and training of death squad fighters in the entire region and, indeed, the world. In this regard, Naeem was pressed further on the future of Saudi Arabia to which he replied by stating, From where did Dhahi Khalfan get this? They arrested cells which confessed in details: If Muslim Brotherhood settles in Egypt, theyll start exporting problems to the Gulf (GCC) through their existing cells, and destabilize the security of the Gulf, and this is what Dhahi Khalfan, head of national security in UAE said, not what I say. [] Look, they have a book being circulated in London titled The Rule of Al Saud, in this book they called the Saudi family as Kuffar (infidels), and that it is unjust, and it steals the monies of the Saudis, and its an infidel doesnt rule by Gods commands, and only applies Sharia law on the weak while the strong and the princess no law being applied on them, a book to educate the Saudi youths abroad to fight a war against the Saudi government, they also say: we call on the kingdom to become a constitutional monarchy, ie. the king doesnt rule, like the British queen, and this trend is being supported by America and Britain and the people working on this are residing in London, the nest of spies, all the spies of the world reside in London.. Their goal is to divide the region in order to achieve Israels security. Israel is a weak and despicable state, by the way, geopolitical, Israel is not a state, like Qatar, is Qatar a state? Qatar is only a tent and a man sitting it with his money and thats it.. There are countries like Iran, Saudi and Egypt, in geography it exists until the end of times, and there are countries called the Satanic Shrubs, its just found you dont know how, like Israel and Qatar, it can vanish in one day and you wont find it.. So for Israel to guarantee its existence, all the surrounding entities around it should be shredded.. Kurds to take one piece, Sunnah take one piece, Maliki takes one piece.. each sect has their own piece just like Lebanon they keep fighting between each other, once they finish beating each other they drink tea then go for a second round beating each other.. Interviewer: I want to get back to the factors in regards with the Saudi Kingdom, you mentioned what is planned for based on this ideology, and you know better, you have experience and you talk about examples and evidences, but how they will enter? True there was a statement by the Saudi ministry of interior in last May claiming they dismantled a cell that follows ISIS of 62 members, as they stated, but how theyll enter (Saudi), what are the factors theyll be depending on to enter? Nabeel Naiem: Im telling you they are preparing for the revolution against the ruling family, that its a corrupt family, this family steals the money of the Saudis, talks about the roots of the family.. Interviewer: From inside the kingdom? Nabeel Naiem: From inside the kingdom, and there are strong Takfiri members inside the kingdom, because as you know the difference between Wahhabi and Takfiri ideologies is as thin as a single hair, thus there are a lot of youths who follow this (Takfiri) ideology, add to it the feeding against the kingdom and its government and against the ruling family, its very easy for him to blow himself up with anything.. Interviewer: So it will be only based on these factors, we dont want to disregard an important point that groups of the ISIS are from the Gulf countries, and there are reports that the (governments of GCC) are turning a blind eye away from recruiting a number of them and sending them to fight in Syria and in a number of other countries including Iraq, as per these reports, could there be recruiting to use inside the kingdom? To move inside the kingdom? Nabeel Naiem: Yes, yes, most are Saudis the move will be like that but they were hoping for the Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt to settle in power, thats why when (Saudi) king Abdallah supported the 30 June revolution (in Egypt), he did so based on the information he has of what will happen in the region Why did he stand against the Muslim Brotherhood? Saudi was always containing the MBs, and if the MBs (Muslim Brotherhood) ever made money, it was from Saudi, and Mohammad Qotb, the father of all Takfir in the world, spent 40 years of his life in Saudi, he wrote a book called The Ignorance in the Twentieth Century, and he claims were living in an ignorance more than the one in the days of the prophet PBuH, and Saudi hosted him and he was teaching in the university.. What made them go against them (MBs)? Because the Muslim Brotherhood have no religion, no nation, not safe to be with them, theyll betray anyone. Apparently now convinced that not only is the existence of the nation state threatened at a base level in the Middle East by the deployment of such groups as ISIS, al-Qaeda, and its affiliates, Naeem himself even suggests that the immediate goal should be to rescue the state itself from the hands of the Western-backed groups like those mentioned above. In conclusion, Naeem stated: While it is unclear just how much identification Naeem holds with at least the stated goals of al-Qaeda and its affiliates, it is clear that he was able to operate within the networks of the organization for some time before realizing that it was merely a proxy army of the CIA and other Western intelligence agencies. It is now imperative that the Western public begin to examine the same evidence and come to the only logical conclusion that can be drawn from it that Al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, ISIS, and all terror organizations like them are nothing more than the CIAs Arab legion.

3	California Assembly Nullifies Dollar Monopoly, Clears Way for Bitcoinselfnews Post AB 129 repeals an outdated restriction on the use of anything but the lawful money of the United States. The literal meaning of the restriction indicates that anyone using alternative currency is in violation of the law. However, people commonly use digital currency, community currency, and reward points without penalty. In an era of evolving payment methods, from Amazon Coins to Starbucks Stars, it is impractical to ignore the growing use of cash alternatives, Dickinson said. This bill is intended to fine-tune current law to address Californians payment habits in the mobile and digital fields. Bitcoin, a growing digital currency, has gained recent media attention as businesses have expanded to accept Bitcoins for payment. Long before the introduction of digital currencies, various businesses created point models that allow consumers to use points to pay for goods or services. The bill heads to Governor Brown for his consideration. Press release source

3	Half-Prepping Equals NO Prepping: Lessons From The IcepocalypseBrandon Turbeville While this statement may come as basic common sense to the majority of my usual readers, such observations do bear repeating. Indeed, it is important to remind ourselves of just how unprepared we may be, even though we may be more prepared than most of the rest of the population. Many of those who are aware of the possibility of an economic collapse, general war, electrical grid failure, or simple natural disasters are aware through available literature of how human behavior will adjust to the new circumstances if a crisis takes place. Although much of what preppers are confronted with in terms of information often borders on the state of panic and fear, it is true that what is at first a tranquil community of friends and neighbors can very quickly turn into a violent mob and dangerous enemies fighting over finite resources. While the recent winter storm did not turn out to be the Apocalypse, the days without power for many was a very important learning experience on just how prepared they were for an emergency as well as how their neighbors will react in the same situation. As I already mentioned, there were a small minority of individuals who were prepared all along, because they had previously learned to stock up on essential items and tools for personal survival to begin with. These individuals are often called preppers by media outlets (mainstream and alternative alike) but, in reality, they are simply people who exercise a level of basic forethought in the manner that was once common behavior and not notable in any sense. They were also a distinct minority. Others still believed they were prepared . . . until the storm hit. They had generators but no gas. They had extra food but no way to cook it. They had a well but no way to pump the water. Some had fireplaces with no logs or firewood with nowhere to burn it. The list of half-preparedness is endless but the resulting sum of that half-work is the same they were not prepared at all. In short, being prepared half-way is not being prepared at all. The vast majority of people, however, did not even have the basic material needed to last through a four-hour disturbance in their normal routine. Most had not purchased extra food and water or made plans to heat themselves in some way other than electricity. Nor had they even bothered to fill up their gas tanks the day before the storm. In fact, with the exception of the usual rush to buy milk and eggs (food that will spoil as soon as the power goes out)when a storm approaches, there was not even the shockwave of panicked buyers looking to prepare. Most of the important items like canned goods were still on the shelves the day before the storm. After the storm, however, panicked masses brought out by sudden discomfort and disruption were lining up for warm food (or any food they could find) while others lined up for a mile to purchase gas for their vehicles or generators. Any stations and restaurants with a generator were able to make a killing in one day, but the number of stores with that capability were few and far between. People congregated anywhere with signs of heat and commerce. It should also be noted that most open stores were unable to process credit and debit cards. This was the morning after the power went out. On the second day without power, the lines of people at the pump were noticeably more irritated, with some breaking in line by parking across the street with their gas containers and jumping in front of motorists to pump their fuel. Others simply tried to use their vehicles to push their way ahead. Thankfully, gas trucks were able to reach most areas, keeping the supply flowing, and food trucks were also able to resupply corporate fast food chains which also faced a number of line jumpers. While power was gradually restored after the second day, the tension and panic began to subside. However, one can only wonder as to what might have taken place had the power continued to be shut off for another day or even a week. What would the city have looked like if food and gas trucks had not been able to reach the stations and restaurants freshly out of food? What if the outage continued indefinitely? Clearly, one answer is that a great many people particularly those who are incapable of even the slightest forethought to prepare for an oncoming storm, much less an undefined disaster which may or may not happen in the future will be looking for food and warmth. If the crisis persists, they will not be able to find either. With this in mind, the recent winter storm and its corresponding power outages should serve as a reminder that a little preparation is never a bad idea. However, your preparation should cover the most essential items, as well as cover a longer-than-expected length of time. Indeed, whatever preparation done now in the correct manner will be worth so much more when an actual event takes place. Thus, a short list of basic necessities to consider in the case of a winter storm is included below. It is by no means comprehensive but, from my experience, it will definitely keep you well ahead of even the half-prepared. Readers are encouraged to add useful tips in the comments section. Remember, purchasing goods for the winter in the summer is usually a cheaper route than waiting until the cold has arrived. 1. Storable food and water This does not necessarily have to be hundreds of dollars of worth freeze-dried food. It could mean something as simple as canned goods, Raemen noodles, and other foods that last a long time without requiring electricity to prepare. Bottled water or storable water jugs are always a good idea as well. 2. Guns and Ammunition Lets face it. If the crisis continues, you will need to defend yourself as others reap the fruits of years of television watching when they should have been preparing. 3. Generator Although a good generator is out of the price range for many and possibly even a liability in a prolonged crisis for everyday use (it can signal who has power when everything else is silent), in a short-lived winter emergency a generator is life saver. 4. Propane and Propane Accessories A propane cooker, for short-term outages, can provide an avenue to cook all of the food that may be in danger of going to waste if the power stays out. Similarly, having iron cookware that can be used in tandem with a traditional grill or even over an open fire might eventually become useful. 5. Heat Source This heat source can come from a generator, but only so long as the gasoline lasts. Likewise, almost all heat sources rely on finite sources of energy gas, oil, wood, etc. Not relying solely on one source is paramount. Wood stoves, kerosene heaters, propane, generators and more are all welcome additions for those of us who need to take heat into a consideration. Also, look into innovative means of heating your home in an emergency such as using tea light candles and other useful mechanisms. 6. Winter Wear/Extra Blankets Eventually, if the crisis persists, the heat will run out. You need extra sets of warm clothes and several sets of extra blankets if you are to survive. Water-resistant boots can make the difference between comfort and frostbite. The same applies to gloves, jackets, and hats. 7. Flashlights You will need light inside and outside of the house. Darkness falls quickly and one needs light by which to locate tools, find your way around, or even to travel if need be. 8. Batteries Lots of them. And not just for flashlights. However, batteries have incredibly short lives when they are being utilized regularly, so the more the better. 9. Candles Eventually, batteries run out. Candles can provide steady light in the dark so flashlights can be saved for travel or emergencies. 10. Lighters Fire is extremely important in winter, and for only a few dollars you can make sure that fire is always at your fingertips. Magnesium fire starters are also a good idea. 11. Medicines If you or a loved one rely on prescription or non-prescription medications, always do your best to save up and keep an extra supply of medication just in case. In a real crisis, medical centers may not be open and family practitioners/pharmacists will be in short supply. 12. Fuel! If you know a winter storm is coming, fill up your gas tanks and your gas cans beforehand. After the storm, to do anything is always too late.

3	The Economist Promotes A False Narrative About Attack DronesTom McNamara The Economist states that since drones can loiter over potential targets for hours before firing their missiles, they are more discriminating than either fast jets or helicopter-borne special forces and that the vast majority of people who have been killed in drone attacks appear to have been militants. These statements are disingenuous at best. The Economist further reports that drone strikes seem certain to stay the centrepiece of counter-terrorism efforts for many years to come and may well increase in reach and scale. This then begs a simple question. Are drone attacks an effective way to reduce the enemys will to fight? Figures out of Afghanistan are discouraging. The Brookings Institution, in another study, found that the number of attacks reportedly carried out by insurgents during the period of April to June 2012 was, in fact, 11% higher than that reported during the same period of 2011. The net result being almost 110 attacks a day during the month of June 2012. This was the highest number of attacks for that month since the beginning of the war. These statistics do not appear to be in line with an effective counterterrorism policy that is sapping the will of the enemy to fight. On the contrary, one could argue that drone strikes may be encouraging more violence on the part of the insurgents. Article 2(4) of the U.N. Charter should give us reason to pause. It expressly prohibits the threat or use of force by one state against another. One argument that proponents for drone attacks use is that since the attacks are being carried out on militants and insurgents, and mostly in regions where the rule of law has broken down, the phrase state doesnt apply and therefore nullifies this section of the Charter. Once more, this argument is dubious at best. If it were Iran, China, or Russia engaging in this type of behavior closer to US shores, say in Central or Latin America, there is no doubt that the US government would be in an uproar over the legality, and morality, of their use. The war in Afghanistan is now the longest war in Americas history. Perhaps some light could be shed on current events by looking back at Americas second longest war, the war in Vietnam. Here too, conventional wisdom held that if you just bombed them hard enough, and with enough precision, you would weaken the enemys resistance and will to fight. It was this thought process in the White House and Pentagon during the 1960s that led to the bombing campaign known as Operation Rolling Thunder. It was originally planned to last just twelve weeks and was designed to bring the enemy to his senses. It ended up lasting three years and nine months (March 1965 till November 1968), the longest strategic bombing campaign in US history. And the effect on the enemys will to fight? Limited, at best. In a study funded by the Defense Department, and carried out by the Rand Corporation, it was found that the bombing campaign did not have the intended effect on enemy morale. On the contrary, the study reported that enemy troops, despite increasing hardships and frustrations with no rewarding victories to show in return, have failed to reveal any signs of cracking. It went on to say that neither our military actions nor our political or psywar efforts seem to have made an appreciable dent in the enemys overall motivation and morale structure. The reports conclusion was that years of US bombing had not appreciably reduced fighting morale in the enemy. In fact, in all likelihood, it probably caused it to go up. After 11 years of fighting, the US has now been in Afghanistan longer than the Soviet Union. 2,000 US soldiers have died in combat, with over 17,000 wounded. The cost of the war is well over $1 trillion, and still counting. With a recent spate of green on blue attacks in which Afghan army forces have attacked NATO coalition forces, one would be hard pressed to make a case that current counterterrorism policies are weakening the fighting capabilities of the insurgents and local Afghan fighters. Drones are not the solution to Americas security problems. In fact, they could very well be aggravating it. Sources: 2,000 Dead: Cost of War in Afghanistan by Amy Bingham, October 1, 2012, ABC News.

1	At a press conference Monday, President Obama announced that he had appointed legendary comic book writer Alan Moore as the official biographer of his time in the White House. 'As evidenced by his epic run on Swamp Thing #2164, Moore's deft hand with both sociopolitical commentary and metaphysical violence makes him an ideal choice to chronicle my time in office,' Obama said of the author of Watchmen and From Hell, whom he reportedly chose over others on a short list of potential biographers that included Warren Ellis, Grant Morrison, and Bob Woodward. 'I look forward to seeing the kinds of subplots he will surely weave throughout the main narrative of my presidency, and how he'll tie them all back together at the end in a way that just elevates the thing to a whole other level. God, that guy is the master.' Although Obama has not yet settled on a publisher for his White House biography, he is reportedly leaning toward DC's Vertigo imprint for its creator-friendly ethos, high production values, and willingness to publish content for mature readers. 
2	BREAKING: Megyn Kelly Shocks America With Surprising Announcement... Good Riddance Election Day is right around the corner, and Megyn Kelly has announced that she intends to pull an all-nighter to report on it. What she is doing the next morning, however, has left many Fox News fans scratching their heads. USA Today reported that Kelly intends to guest-host Disney/ABCs Live with Kelly on November 9th. It is unlikely that Kelly will end up hosting the show permanently, but this is just the latest of the hosts desperate attempts to appeal to the mainstream audience. Many believe that Kelly intends to put herself out there as a free agent when her contract with Fox expires in July. This announcement comes shortly after Daily Mail reported that Rupert Murdoch made his salary negotiations with Kelly public. In a statement, he argued that while keeping her with Fox is a priority, he has other hosts lined up who could take over the program if she decides to jump ship. We have a bunch of talent, many of whom would give their right arm for that spot, Murdoch commented. Kelly is rumored to be making $15 million per year right now, but she is allegedly hoping to make $20 million in her next contract. Based on Murdochs comments, it appears to she will be hard-pressed to get that raise. What do you think? Is Fox News better off without Megyn Kelly? 
3	Financial Reset for Lifestyle LongevityBy Susan Boskey Are you drowning in stuff? Tidying guru Marie Kondo tells us, Most people have three times more stuff than they need. Not only does having too many things suck energy to manage and maintain them, but it also perpetuates the overlooked personal problems caused by debt. Since the economic meltdown of 2007/2008 a new and different economic landscape has risen up from the ashes. With the good old days of the dot com and housing bubble but a memory, all things financial are different now. We have had to learn how to navigate in unfamiliar territory. Some call it the new normal, others the new economy. At any rate, it appears that the rules to the game of long-term financial stability have definitely changed. While the cost-of-living has risen dramatically for basics like food, housing, and energy (which are NOT factored-in to the official rate-of-inflation), earnings have remained flat, at best. The spend, spend, spend, model has failed almost everyone, except, that is, the traditional financial services industry that happily collects their credit-card interest income. In my opinion, the name of the making it game today consists of two main components: In the world of personal finance, the four major moving parts to coordinate are: how to earn, spend, save and invest. A less well-known, but vitally important player is reallocation. In other words, the liquidation of big-ticket items such as boats, homes, cars, saving, or money from the stock market etc., in order to reallocate funds to move your life forward in some way. It could be to pay down debt, create a down payment, provide emergency funds to hold you over until you find new work, invest in a cash-flow business, or purchase a needed something. The point being that by reallocating your existing assets, your quality of life will be improved and give you more options (and breathing room), going forward. Here are my personal finance recommendations to help you build that all-important solid-financial foundation. Savings and investments are very important but in todays new economy the MOST important thing is to ensure your financial foundation for long-term peace of mind. Youll know the foundation has been established when you have more money coming in to your household than going out for at least four consecutive months. 1 Write down your short-term, mid-term, and long-term financial goals and put them somewhere to easily reference. 2 Review your goals weekly. 3 Assess your current financial status. On a monthly basis, how much money a) comes in, and b) goes out? Dedicate a notebook or Excel spreadsheet to this four-month project of tracking your expenses. Create a line-item and category for each and all your expenses. Dont forget things like eating out and entertainment. Save all receipts and record out-of-pocket information each day. On another page, track the source and amount of money that comes in each of the four months. 4 Be diligent, watch and learn and try not to judge yourself. If after your four months you find you have more money slipping through your fingers than coming in, consider the following: 5 Use your list of current itemized expenses to create an action-plan. Decide how and by when you will lower the cost or eliminate entirely certain line-items. Be bold! 6 Make debt-elimination a high-priority, the final goal is to be able to live within your means and pay-as-you-go. 7 All the while as your expenses and earnings start to align, it is still very important to actively seek and find ways to increase your monthly cash flow. Otherwise you will fall back to accessing credit again in order to stay ahead of cost-of living increases that just keep coming. 8 As you focus on ways to increase cash flow, consider an independent trade or service that people will always need. For example, car mechanics, computer techs, hair stylists, barbers, clean-water suppliers, delivery-service providers, etc. Additionally, you can find legitimate ways to earn good money online. 9 Once you have diminished or paid off credit-card debt, destroy all but one credit card since easy-credit access becomes an addictive mindset regarding the perceived need for instant gratification. Do NOT keep this remaining credit card in your wallet. Leave it frozen in a bowl of water in your freezer to build time into your decision-making process. 10 To ensure your financial foundation more quickly, you may want to reallocate existing assets. Since money (itself a debt instrument) is worth more today than it will be tomorrow, its best to put it to work for you, today. Dont forget to consider anything you have in savings, retirement funds or the stock market. (Remember the stock-market 2008, and for your information, the U.S. Government is currently floating the idea of nationalizing. e.g. borrowing from, your 401(k)s and IRAs given the 19.3 trillion-dollar deficit. In other words, individuals would lose control over their account while the government instead would ration out annuity-type payments.) 11 Use cash. Most people will pay more attention to what they spend when it comes straight out of their wallet. 12 Stop using shopping as a form of entertainment. Shop purposefully using coupons, during sales, and buy bulk whenever possible. Also, consider shopping recycled, including for cars. 13 Include and educate your children in the how and why of your decision-making process (should you accept this mission) and invite their imitation of your mindset and efforts. 14 If you do have savings and/or investments (after possible reallocation), keep some of YOUR money entirely outside of the banking-services industry. They use your money. More and more people are moving their bank capital into hard (tangible) assets that can hold value. A stable present-time financial situation will increase your well-being. Increased personal well-being allows for a more well-thought-out decision-making process. I hope by now you realize that the corporate financial-services industry will never tell you the whole truth about how money works against you. Yet official statistics of entities such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Federal Reserve provide huge clues reflecting the hidden story. The missing (secret) piece is systemic in nature, not political. The impersonal mechanics of a man-made monetary system grind away giving obscene profits to those at the top of the money pyramid while, at the same time, serving only to make everyday families increasingly vulnerable. The only way out (short of a new global system) is to personally make it a priority to learn new strategies designed to assist wealth-building for the little guy, and that are relevant to the economic times we live in. In closing, may this recent New York Times excerpt be motivation to help move you into action! The average 65-year-old borrower has 47% more mortgage debt and 29% more auto debt than 65-year-olds had in 2003, after adjusting for inflation, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York released Friday.

1	Citing the intense pressures and scrutiny placed on political candidates and the people in their lives, Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal announced Tuesday that hes not sure he wants to put his family through the rigors of a two-month presidential campaign. The 43-year-old former congressman told reporters that while his wife and three young children are tremendously supportive of his political ambitions, he recognizes that a relentless six-to-eight-week run for the White House would be hard on them nonetheless. If I were to declare my candidacy this June, Id immediately have to head out on the campaign trail and would likely be apart from my family for as much as half the summerthats a sacrifice I really have to think about, Jindal said of a potential bid for the Republican Partys 2016 presidential nomination. Were talking four, maybe five big town hall events in the early primary states, a handful of public rallies, and a few Sundays spent at meet-and-greets with local voters. Thats multiple weekends on the road, and Im not sure it would be fair to my kids. I could wind up missing a half dozen of [son] Slades Little League games, which is a lot to ask, he continued. Thats a third of the season right there. Imagine what its like being 10 or 13 years old and having your dad spend dozens of days running for presidentwhat would that do to your life? The second-term governor went on to state that if he seeks the GOP nomination, the Jindal family might as well forget about planning a summer vacation any sooner than mid-August. Though Jindal stressed that while he personally had no qualms about enduring the extreme media attention, he admitted that he hated the thought of subjecting his wife and kids to the harsh glare of the public spotlight for a couple of news cycles. According to Jindal, they would have to steel themselves in preparation for a demanding campaign that would take their husband and father all the way through Iowa, a fair amount of South Carolina, and maybe a couple counties in New Hampshire. The prospective candidate confirmed he would not throw his hat in the ring without first sitting down with his family for a long, soul-searching discussion of any concerns they might have about watching him run for upwards of 50 or even 55 days, and likely missing such major milestones as his childrens first day of school this year, their second day of school, and possibly even the remainder of their first week of school. Imagine what its like being 10 or 13 years old and having your dad spend dozens of days running for presidentwhat would that do to your life? said Jindal, who admitted that during the roughly five-day-long peak of his campaign he might be too busy to stay in touch with his loved ones. And we could be in the thick of it right up until a few days after the 2015 Iowa Straw Poll. If I hold, say, six fundraising dinners, thats six meals Im skipping with the kids. Not to mention Ill miss my daughters big dance recital, which is really important to her. Oh, wait, no I wont, he added. Thats in September. 
2	Clint Eastwood Takes Heroic Action In The Face Of Death According to recent reports, Clint Eastwood sprung into action after he noticed a man who appeared to be choking. Although he did not have a background in CPR, Eastwood rescued the man, who was choking on cheese. Eastwood was reportedly at a golf event in Monterey, CA when he noticed Steven John, the tournament director, choking. He began performing the Hemlich, and threw the 202 lb man in the air three times. I looked in his eyes and saw that look of panic people have when they see their life passing before their eyes, Eastwood told reporters. It looked bad. Fortunately, the procedure worked, and the cheese came flying out of Steven Johns mouth. 
1	According to a new study published by the National Transportation Safety Board, 90 percent of successful plane landings are 'this close' to ending with the aircraft pinwheeling down the runway and exploding into a fireball of twisted metal and charred flesh. 'We found that when passengers think they're hearing the landing gear being lowered, that's actually the sound of the plane's fuselage coming apart at the seams as the flight-control system fails,' said NTSB chairwoman Deborah Hersman, adding how remarkable it is that the wheels don't break off immediately after making contact with the tarmac. 'Further, when the plane lands, every bump, big or small, basically means the pilots are fighting with all their might to prevent the aircraft from crashing into the airport terminal.' The study found that in nearly all cockpit recordings, the last few moments before touchdown are filled with the pilots screaming for their lives, praying to God, or trying to say one final goodbye to a loved one. 
3	Obama Signs Cybersecurity Executive Orderselfnews Post He made the announcement during the State of the Union address, stating: We know hackers steal peoples identities and infiltrate private email. We know foreign countries and companies swipe our corporate secrets. Now our enemies are also seeking the ability to sabotage our power grid, our financial institutions, and our air traffic control systems, Obama said during his speech. We cannot look back years from now and wonder why we did nothing in the face of real threats to our security and our economy. Thats why, earlier today, I signed a new executive order that will strengthen our cyber defenses by increasing information sharing, and developing standards to protect our national security, our jobs, and our privacy, Obama continued. Now, Congress must act as well, by passing legislation to give our government a greater capacity to secure our networks and deter attacks. The privacy-killing cybersecurity legislation CISPA has failed to pass in the Senate in two votes last year which Obama called theheight of irresponsibility. As usual, the executive action was urgent and for our safety. Yet, we already know that the government has already been using the powers vested in the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act through the secret Presidential Directive 20 and warrantless cooperation with private communications companies who may act with impunity. The cyber order gives the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) a lead role in establishing a voluntary program that encourages critical infrastructure operators to adopt the NIST and industry-developed cybersecurity framework, which is aimed at beefing up the security of their computer systems and networks. DHS will work with agencies, such as the Department of Energy, and industry councils to implement the cybersecurity best practices laid out in the framework, as well as identify possible ways to entice companies to join the voluntary program. (Source: The Hill) Below is the entire Executive Order called Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity: By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows: Section 1. Policy. Repeated cyber intrusions into critical infrastructure demonstrate the need for improved cybersecurity. The cyber threat to critical infrastructure continues to grow and represents one of the most serious national security challenges we must confront. The national and economic security of the United States depends on the reliable functioning of the Nations critical infrastructure in the face of such threats. It is the policy of the United States to enhance the security and resilience of the Nations critical infrastructure and to maintain a cyber environment that encourages efficiency, innovation, and economic prosperity while promoting safety, security, business confidentiality, privacy, and civil liberties. We can achieve these goals through a partnership with the owners and operators of critical infrastructure to improve cybersecurity information sharing and collaboratively develop and implement risk-based standards. Sec. 2. Critical Infrastructure. As used in this order, the term critical infrastructure means systems and assets, whether physical or virtual, so vital to the United States that the incapacity or destruction of such systems and assets would have a debilitating impact on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination of those matters. Sec. 3. Policy Coordination. Policy coordination, guidance, dispute resolution, and periodic in-progress reviews for the functions and programs described and assigned herein shall be provided through the interagency process established in Presidential Policy Directive-1 of February 13, 2009 (Organization of the National Security Council System), or any successor. Sec. 4. Cybersecurity Information Sharing. (a) It is the policy of the United States Government to increase the volume, timeliness, and quality of cyber threat information shared with U.S. private sector entities so that these entities may better protect and defend themselves against cyber threats. Within 120 days of the date of this order, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security (the Secretary), and the Director of National Intelligence shall each issue instructions consistent with their authorities and with the requirements of section 12(c) of this order to ensure the timely production of unclassified reports of cyber threats to the U.S. homeland that identify a specific targeted entity. The instructions shall address the need to protect intelligence and law enforcement sources, methods, operations, and investigations. (b) The Secretary and the Attorney General, in coordination with the Director of National Intelligence, shall establish a process that rapidly disseminates the reports produced pursuant to section 4(a) of this order to the targeted entity. Such process shall also, consistent with the need to protect national security information, include the dissemination of classified reports to critical infrastructure entities authorized to receive them. The Secretary and the Attorney General, in coordination with the Director of National Intelligence, shall establish a system for tracking the production, dissemination, and disposition of these reports. (c) To assist the owners and operators of critical infrastructure in protecting their systems from unauthorized access, exploitation, or harm, the Secretary, consistent with 6 U.S.C. 143 and in collaboration with the Secretary of Defense, shall, within 120 days of the date of this order, establish procedures to expand the Enhanced Cybersecurity Services program to all critical infrastructure sectors. This voluntary information sharing program will provide classified cyber threat and technical information from the Government to eligible critical infrastructure companies or commercial service providers that offer security services to critical infrastructure. (d) The Secretary, as the Executive Agent for the Classified National Security Information Program created under Executive Order 13549 of August 18, 2010 (Classified National Security Information Program for State, Local, Tribal, and Private Sector Entities), shall expedite the processing of security clearances to appropriate personnel employed by critical infrastructure owners and operators, prioritizing the critical infrastructure identified in section 9 of this order. (e) In order to maximize the utility of cyber threat information sharing with the private sector, the Secretary shall expand the use of programs that bring private sector subject-matter experts into Federal service on a temporary basis. These subject matter experts should provide advice regarding the content, structure, and types of information most useful to critical infrastructure owners and operators in reducing and mitigating cyber risks. Sec. 5. Privacy and Civil Liberties Protections. (a) Agencies shall coordinate their activities under this order with their senior agency officials for privacy and civil liberties and ensure that privacy and civil liberties protections are incorporated into such activities. Such protections shall be based upon the Fair Information Practice Principles and other privacy and civil liberties policies, principles, and frameworks as they apply to each agencys activities. (b) The Chief Privacy Officer and the Officer for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shall assess the privacy and civil liberties risks of the functions and programs undertaken by DHS as called for in this order and shall recommend to the Secretary ways to minimize or mitigate such risks, in a publicly available report, to be released within 1 year of the date of this order. Senior agency privacy and civil liberties officials for other agencies engaged in activities under this order shall conduct assessments of their agency activities and provide those assessments to DHS for consideration and inclusion in the report. The report shall be reviewed on an annual basis and revised as necessary. The report may contain a classified annex if necessary. Assessments shall include evaluation of activities against the Fair Information Practice Principles and other applicable privacy and civil liberties policies, principles, and frameworks. Agencies shall consider the assessments and recommendations of the report in implementing privacy and civil liberties protections for agency activities. (c) In producing the report required under subsection (b) of this section, the Chief Privacy Officer and the Officer for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties of DHS shall consult with the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board and coordinate with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). (d) Information submitted voluntarily in accordance with 6 U.S.C. 133 by private entities under this order shall be protected from disclosure to the fullest extent permitted by law. Sec. 6. Consultative Process. The Secretary shall establish a consultative process to coordinate improvements to the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure. As part of the consultative process, the Secretary shall engage and consider the advice, on matters set forth in this order, of the Critical Infrastructure Partnership Advisory Council; Sector Coordinating Councils; critical infrastructure owners and operators; Sector-Specific Agencies; other relevant agencies; independent regulatory agencies; State, local, territorial, and tribal governments; universities; and outside experts. Sec. 7. Baseline Framework to Reduce Cyber Risk to Critical Infrastructure. (a) The Secretary of Commerce shall direct the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (the Director) to lead the development of a framework to reduce cyber risks to critical infrastructure (the Cybersecurity Framework). The Cybersecurity Framework shall include a set of standards, methodologies, procedures, and processes that align policy, business, and technological approaches to address cyber risks. The Cybersecurity Framework shall incorporate voluntary consensus standards and industry best practices to the fullest extent possible. The Cybersecurity Framework shall be consistent with voluntary international standards when such international standards will advance the objectives of this order, and shall meet the requirements of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Act, as amended (15 U.S.C. 271 et seq.), the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-113), and OMB Circular A-119, as revised. (b) The Cybersecurity Framework shall provide a prioritized, flexible, repeatable, performance-based, and cost-effective approach, including information security measures and controls, to help owners and operators of critical infrastructure identify, assess, and manage cyber risk. The Cybersecurity Framework shall focus on identifying cross-sector security standards and guidelines applicable to critical infrastructure. The Cybersecurity Framework will also identify areas for improvement that should be addressed through future collaboration with particular sectors and standards-developing organizations. To enable technical innovation and account for organizational differences, the Cybersecurity Framework will provide guidance that is technology neutral and that enables critical infrastructure sectors to benefit from a competitive market for products and services that meet the standards, methodologies, procedures, and processes developed to address cyber risks. The Cybersecurity Framework shall include guidance for measuring the performance of an entity in implementing the Cybersecurity Framework. (c) The Cybersecurity Framework shall include methodologies to identify and mitigate impacts of the Cybersecurity Framework and associated information security measures or controls on business confidentiality, and to protect individual privacy and civil liberties. (d) In developing the Cybersecurity Framework, the Director shall engage in an open public review and comment process. The Director shall also consult with the Secretary, the National Security Agency, Sector-Specific Agencies and other interested agencies including OMB, owners and operators of critical infrastructure, and other stakeholders through the consultative process established in section 6 of this order. The Secretary, the Director of National Intelligence, and the heads of other relevant agencies shall provide threat and vulnerability information and technical expertise to inform the development of the Cybersecurity Framework. The Secretary shall provide performance goals for the Cybersecurity Framework informed by work under section 9 of this order. (e) Within 240 days of the date of this order, the Director shall publish a preliminary version of the Cybersecurity Framework (the preliminary Framework). Within 1 year of the date of this order, and after coordination with the Secretary to ensure suitability under section 8 of this order, the Director shall publish a final version of the Cybersecurity Framework (the final Framework). (f) Consistent with statutory responsibilities, the Director will ensure the Cybersecurity Framework and related guidance is reviewed and updated as necessary, taking into consideration technological changes, changes in cyber risks, operational feedback from owners and operators of critical infrastructure, experience from the implementation of section 8 of this order, and any other relevant factors. Sec. 8. Voluntary Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity Program. (a) The Secretary, in coordination with Sector-Specific Agencies, shall establish a voluntary program to support the adoption of the Cybersecurity Framework by owners and operators of critical infrastructure and any other interested entities (the Program). (b) Sector-Specific Agencies, in consultation with the Secretary and other interested agencies, shall coordinate with the Sector Coordinating Councils to review the Cybersecurity Framework and, if necessary, develop implementation guidance or supplemental materials to address sector-specific risks and operating environments. (c) Sector-Specific Agencies shall report annually to the President, through the Secretary, on the extent to which owners and operators notified under section 9 of this order are participating in the Program. (d) The Secretary shall coordinate establishment of a set of incentives designed to promote participation in the Program. Within 120 days of the date of this order, the Secretary and the Secretaries of the Treasury and Commerce each shall make recommendations separately to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism and the Assistant to the President for Economic Affairs, that shall include analysis of the benefits and relative effectiveness of such incentives, and whether the incentives would require legislation or can be provided under existing law and authorities to participants in the Program. (e) Within 120 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Defense and the Administrator of General Services, in consultation with the Secretary and the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council, shall make recommendations to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism and the Assistant to the President for Economic Affairs, on the feasibility, security benefits, and relative merits of incorporating security standards into acquisition planning and contract administration. The report shall address what steps can be taken to harmonize and make consistent existing procurement requirements related to cybersecurity. Sec. 9. Identification of Critical Infrastructure at Greatest Risk. (a) Within 150 days of the date of this order, the Secretary shall use a risk-based approach to identify critical infrastructure where a cybersecurity incident could reasonably result in catastrophic regional or national effects on public health or safety, economic security, or national security. In identifying critical infrastructure for this purpose, the Secretary shall use the consultative process established in section 6 of this order and draw upon the expertise of Sector-Specific Agencies.

2	BREAKING: Israel Declares War On The Islamic State President Obama recently announced his strategy to form a global coalition to battle ISIS. Interestingly, he didnt list the nations that would be joining that coalition. And that probably is because he has only been able to convince about ten nations to stand behind America. Of course, Israel is a supporter in the stand against Islamic terror. And a new report from the Times of Israel confirms that Israels leadership understands the need to fight against Islamic extremism. According to Prime Minister Netanyahu, Israel fully supports the idea of a united international effort against ISIS. These groups must be fought, Netanyahu said in a recent statement. They must be rolled back and they must ultimately be defeated. Still, Netanyahu is firmly against the participation of any terror-supporting nations. Instead, he has called for all civilized countries to take a stand against radical terrorist of all parts. And we are playing our part, he told the public. Some of the things are known; some of the things are less known. What do you think? Will Obama do our part? Do you support Netanyahus statements?

2	Todd Palin Is Struggling To Recover From Hours Of Surgery, He Needs Our Prayers Now Sarah Palin was on tour with Donald Trump; she was speaking on his behalf across the nation. That was until she got word that her husband had been in a terrible accident. Sarah was called and told that Todd was in surgery as they spoke on the phone. Sarah immediately dropped everything she was doing. She flew to Alaska right away. Todd suffered a laundry list of injuries from snow mobile accident. The details of the accident have yet to be released, but I am assuming the worst from it. He must have flown off the snowmobile and hit a tree, or had the snowmobile fall on him. Either way he is not looking good. Todd suffered multiple broken ribs, bones, tears, and much more. Sarah took to Facebook to ask for prayers. Sarah told her followers that her husband is tough, and he will make it through this. Todd endured more than 9 hours of surgery this weekend. He is in intensive care as we speak. The doctors do not intend to perform any other surgeries, but if things go wrong they are prepared to do anything to save Todds life. Todd is an amazing man, and the Palin family is made of great people. I wish Todd a speedy recovery, and that God will look over them. Will you send your prayers? 
1	MAHMOUDIYA, IRAQAs the tumultuous process of reconstruction continues throughout Iraq, health-care workers are still lacking the basic necessities. 'Before anything else at all, we need a supply of new, bilingual 'Employees Must Wash Hands' signs,' said Youssef Al-Obaidi, director of Mahmoudiya Hospital. 'We appreciate the bedding, laundry-sanitization equipment, window glass, penicillin, needles, wall-repair materials, and so on, but without clean hands, none of these mean anything.' Al-Obaidi said the importance of hand-washing could not, unlike doctors and nurses, be overstressed. 
1	A report on growing disparities in the concentration of U.S. aluminum-can wealth, released Tuesday by the Department of Commerce, revealed that 66 percent of the nation's recyclable assets are now held by the poorest 1 percent of the population. According to the sobering report, the disproportionate distribution of soda-can wealth is greater than ever before, and has become one of the worst instances of economic inequality in the nation's history. Data showed that over-salvaging of cans by a small and elite group of can-horders has created a steadily growing and possibly unbridgeable gap between the rich and the mega-poor. 'Although our nation's upper middle class actually consumes the most beverages, a staggering percentage of these cans wind up in the hands of a very few,' said economist Cynthia Pierce, who worked as a consultant on the three-year, $14 million government study. 'It's a troubling trend. And as a tiny fraction of the population continues to maintain its stranglehold on redeemable can wealth, it's a trend that shows no sign of slowing.' According to Pierce, the study points to a distinct economic advantage for the most can-affluentthose who possess the resources necessary to collect, transport, separate, and accumulate more and more cans than the rest of the population. 'Members of this exclusive group come from exceedingly poor backgrounds and have access to outrageously low levels of education, which makes them much better prepared to reap the benefits of digging around in garbage,' Pierce added. The report details several key factors involved in the lopsided distribution of container wealth, including aggressive foraging, which leads to higher returns on deposits and a tendency to reinvest can profits in additional redeemables, such as beer. In addition, the report found that those involved in the returnable-gathering industry often minimize financial risk by diversifying between aluminum cans and glass-bottle holdings. While less than 1 percent of Americans own the domestic rights to a majority of Coca-Cola and Pepsi cans, this same group has also cornered the international market by branching out into such imported container commodities as Fanta and Perrier. 'The typical American spends an average of $65 on beverages for every dollar he or she earns back through redeemable deposits, and the rest of that money goes to the country's can and bottle barons,' the report stated. 'Americans who are at a foraging disadvantage due to over-employment and home ownership therefore have limited access to these discarded commodities, causing the market to unfairly favor those with an exclusively disposables income.' Perhaps more alarming, the report continued, the can monopoly enjoyed by the poorest 1 percent has been unintentionally buoyed by millions of environment-conscious Americans who leave plastic bags full of recycling in front of their homes, which are in turn preyed upon by enterprising collectors. 'These people were born into a lifestyle, often going back generations, where any can left on the street is seen as their birthright, whether they purchased it or not,' Houston resident Dale Palmer said. 'They have the knowledge and ability to get out there and scoop up all the good cans before anyone even knew they were there.' The vast disparity in can-wealth distribution is difficult to understand for many Americans. Most people, according to the report, cannot relate to the lifestyles of the super-poor, who never have to go to work, pay a mortgage, or struggle to find money for rent. One canned individual cited in the study is can tycoon Will Dorsey, a 33-year-old Detroit resident who spent his childhood living off the funds collected from his family's vast can holdings. At the age of 16, Dorsey inherited five carts and dozens of garbage bags overflowing with recyclables when his father passed away unexpectedly one cold December morning. According to economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, people like Dorsey, who maintain an ultra-poor lifestyle that is vastly different from the rest of the population, are egregiously out of touch with the everyday economic realities of mainstream America. 'Dorsey is one of those select few who come from old can money,' Krugman said. 'They're just hoarding their assets so nobody else can benefit. And then they parade down the street with their carts full of recycling.' In the wake of the report's disturbing findings, many citizens claim to feel exploited by those who convert their discarded property into cash or change without sharing the incredible profits. 'It's not fair,' Chicago native Melissa Arnold said. 'Something should be done to even the playing field.' In an attempt to mitigate the disparities in soda-can wealth distribution, Congress is currently exploring numerous options, including levying an 80 percent tax on the incomes of those possessing 100 or more refundable containers, with the ultimate goal of eliminating all recycling programs by 2010. 
1	Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) fell deathly silent in the middle of a speech on education before the Wisconsin Teachers Union Tuesday, his failure of words reportedly a result of the Democratic nominee's forward-looking tendencies suddenly bringing him a harrowing glimpse of a future world shaped by madness and horror. 'And that is why we must all strive to make our own tomorrow together,' Obama said to resounding applause before stopping abruptly, breaking into a cold sweat, and bringing his trembling hands to his blanched face. 'Oh, God, no. They're sentient. Every last one of them is sentient!' While spokespeople from the Obama camp have suggested that the candidate's recent comments about magnets being 'our only hope for survival' were taken out of context, they did confirm that he has canceled all future appearances in New Mexico, especially those taking place during the month of October.

He will go down as one the greatest artists of all time, and by artist I mean various forms of art. Were you a Kristofferson fan? 
3	CDC Targeting Baby Boomers for Mass Vaccination AgendaSusanne Posel, Contributor The CDC estimates 800,000 people are infected and being vaccinated could save 120,000 lives. The Baby Boomers are being targeted because of the rampant drug use in the 80s with needles, as well as blood transfusions that were in great use during the 90s; before blood screening was common place. The CDC says this generational epidemic will claim more Baby Boomers unless they are vaccinated. Two out of every three hepatitis C cases are in that generation, said Ryan Clary, public policy director with Project Inform, the national HIV and hepatitis C advocacy organization based in San Francisco. Bill Remak, chairman of the California Hepatitis C Task Force, is also supporting the targeting of the Baby Boomer generation for the next silent epidemic that can only be answered through mass vaccination. The ingredients and compounds used in vaccines make them more harmful than the virus they purport to safeguard us from. Thimerosal, a mercury based preservative, is used in the majority of vaccines . Thimerosal has been linked to causing neurological problems such as attention deficit disorder (ADD), autism, and degenerative brain function issues. A recent federal case showed that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) not only know about thimerosal, but endorse its use in vaccines. Coalition for Mercury-Free Drugs (CMFD), a coalition of citizens advocating for federal regulation of safer vaccines, filed the lawsuit against the FDA. In court testimony, the FDA admitted its endorsement of thimerosal and approval for utilization in vaccines. Disregarding the American publics health, the FDA chose to support vaccine manufacturers that use the preservative. The propaganda the FDA promotes on their website concerning thimerosal states: While the use of mercury-containing preservatives has declined in recent years with the development of new products formulated with alternative or no preservatives, thimerosal has been used in some immune globulin preparations, anti-venins, skin test antigens, and ophthalmic and nasal products, in addition to certain vaccines. For most children, the reaction to the vaccine is more damaging than the risk of contracting the virus. In 1996, 54 cases of the hepatitis B were reported to the CDC (Center for Disease Control) in the 0-1 age group. Considering that there were 3.9 million births that year, the likelihood of Hepatitis B in that age group was 0.001%. In the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), there were 1,080 total reports of adverse reactions from Hepatitis B vaccinations in the same year and age group. Forty-Seven deaths were officially attributed to the vaccine. The manufacturers of the Hepatitis B vaccine are paid $1 billion a year for this vaccine which harms so many children. With that money, they can sway a lot of opinions, and they do. A manufacturer of the vaccine was asked at a 1997 Illinois Board of Health hearing to cite his evidence that the vaccine is safe for a 1-day old infant. The representative replied: We have none. Our studies were done on 5- and 10-year-olds. The CDCs claim that the Baby Boomers must suddenly subject themselves to a proven dangerous vaccine with unsafe effects is irresponsible. The only explanation is that the CDC, in collaboration with other forces, are purveying an agenda to conduct mass vaccinations of specific age groups. This is coerced endangerment of the public by way of intended depopulation through the false declaration of a regulatory agency. Susanne Posel is the Chief Editor of Occupy Corporatism.

3	ISIS Colonel was Trained By Blackwater and U.S. State Department for 11 YearsBy Cassius Methyl At a Blackwater facility in North Carolina, Col. Gulmurod Khalimov received counter-terrorism training. From 2003-2014 Colonel Khalimov participated in five counterterrorism training courses in the United States and in Tajikistan, through the Department of States Diplomatic Security/Anti-Terrorism Assistance program, said US State Department spokeswoman Pooja Jhunjhunwala. According to CNNs fearmongering report, The program is intended to train candidates from participating countries in the latest counterterrorism tactics, so they can fight the very kind of militants that Khalimov has now joined. In the video he spoke in Russian, giving a speech perfect for a mainstream media report:Listen, you American pigs, Ive been to America three times. I saw how you train soldiers to kill Muslimswe will come to your homes and we will kill you. What kind of extensive training spans 11 years and what did this person actually learn? Why and how did this person receive Russian training while simultaneously being deeply connected to the U.S.? If you need more proof that the U.S. government doesnt have a strategy to deal with ISIS, here it is. It doesnt get much more blatant than this. The group has captured billions of dollars in American-supplied military equipment, is expanding its territory despite the Western world bombing it, and recently leaked documents prove the U.S. predicted even encouraged the creation of ISIS. All the while, U.S. trained fighters continue to join the ranks of the Islamic State, using weapons that American taxpayers paid for, against other forces equipped with U.S. financed military equipment. Seems legit. Cassius Methyl writes for TheAntiMedia.org, where this article first appeared. Tune in! The Anti-Media radio show airs Monday through Friday @ 11pm Eastern/8pm Pacific. Amusing, isnt it, that CIA-ISIS can convoy and parade after parade captured U.S. military equipment and Toyotas, in broad daylight, for all the world to see, and not one single Highway of death strafing run from above. yourre correct Curt! Seems, the CIA has set this up! Doesnt it! OH bullshit! He was not trained by Russian Special Forces! This is more anti-Russian propaganda! This is too damned much! All Appropriate vetting Must have been the same ones that vetted the emperor! WDC is seemingly not our friends..from the light/house White House to the alleys of Chicago. The Secret History of the New World Order reveals the long history of the CIA using the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist as their own covert Muslim army. They were used to overthrow King Faruk of Egypt, against the Russians in Afghanistan, gainst the Serbs in Yougoslavia, against Libya and Syria. Their name keeps changing to keep everyone confused ( Al Qaeda, Al Nusra, ISIS Boko Haram ect.) but their source is the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood is a Brit thing from day one. No actually, the Muslim Brotherhood was created in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna, an Egyptian citizen who wished to drive the British out of Egypt. Later, al-Banna joined Adolf Hitler in the war against England. The Secret History of the New World Order, page 99.

3	Turkey Warms To Russia; Pipeline, Sanctions To Be Discussed, Qatar Blames KSA, UAE For CoupBy Brandon Turbeville Still, no one fully knows whether or not Erdogan was actually set to benefit from the coup to begin with. Was Erdogan behind the coup himself? Was Fethullah Gulen behind the coup? Were the nationalists behind the coup? Did Erdogan and the United States stage the coup together to allow for a crackdown and double-down on the nationalist faction? Was the coup actually the work of the United States attempting to overthrow Erdogan over his previous moves toward warming relations with Russia? All of these questions have been asked but none have yielded any definitive answer. What is certain, however, is that Erdogans behavior in the weeks after the coup will tell us more about who was actually behind the coup. While it is still too early to tell who organized the coup or even to fully analyze Erdogans behavior afterwards, some recent developments are notable. For instance, on August 9, Erdogan is expected to travel to St. Petersburg, Russia in order to take part in talks with Vladimir Putin for the purposes of speeding up the repair of Turkish/Russian relations. Announcing the August 9 visit, Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek stated that Russia isnt just our close and friendly neighbor, but also a strategic partner. Today, he said. we are here to normalize the situation and our relations as soon as possible and at an accelerated pace since they were disrupted on November 24. Simsek was referring to the downing of the Russian jet fighter over Syria by Turkey that took place months ago. Bloomberg news describes the upcoming meeting in glowing terms and as more than a mere diplomatic formality. The agency writes, The attempt to overthrow Erdogan has turbo-charged efforts to restore ties between Turkey and Russia that were already under way after the crisis over the warplane. The rapprochement may even lead to a political realignment in the region. Erdogan has drawn strong criticism from the U.S. and other NATO allies for a sweeping crackdownon tens of thousands of alleged opponents following the failed coup, while Turkey has heaped praise on Russia for its support since the crisis erupted on July 15. Simsek emphasized Turkeys gratitude to Russia at the talks with Dvorkovich on restoring economic ties, saying: You supported democracy, supported the government. Thank you very much. . . . . . Turkey received unconditional support from Russia over the coup attempt, Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said in an interview to Haberturk TV on Monday. He also said anti-U.S. sentiment is rising in the country after the failed revolt. Putin ordered the Russian government last month to begin lifting sanctions imposed on Turkey after Erdogan sent a letter offering sympathy and profound condolences to the family of the pilot who died when Turkey shot down his plane during the November mission to bomb Islamic State and other militants in Syria. Putin had accused Turkey of a stab in the back for downing the jet and railed against the ruling gang in Ankara, as Russia retaliated with a ban on charter flights that harmed tourism and sanctions on imports of some Turkish fruits and vegetables. In December, Russia directly accused Erdogans family of being involved in illegal oil trading with Islamic State, a charge Turkey rejected. Bloomberg also mentions a renewed interest and hope for the Turkish-Stream pipeline. It reports, Turkey confirmed interest in resuming the Turkish Stream gas-pipeline project, Alexander Medvedev, deputy chief executive officer of Gazprom PJSC, told reporters after taking part in talks between Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak and Zeybekci. A decision on an agreement will be made after Putin and Erdogan meet, he said. Russia shelved talks in December on the planned Black Sea link that would make Turkey a linchpin in Europes energy supplies by 2020, with Gazprom saying the route was still possible if political relations improved. Meanwhile, Turkey continues to launch accusations against the United States and demand, to no avail at least at the current time, that Fethullah Gulen be extradited. Some sources in Turkey have even pointed the finger at U.S. Commander Of The International Security Assistance Force, a NATO-led security mission in Afghanistan, as the organizer of the coup. Pro-Erdogan Turkish newspaper Yeni Safak reports, A former U.S. commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), a NATO-led security mission in Afghanistan, was the organizer of the July 15 military coup attempt in Turkey, sources said. General John F. Campbell was one of the top figures who organized and managed the soldiers behind the failed coup attempt in Turkey, sources close to ongoing legal process of pro-coup detainees said. Campbell also managed more than $2 billion money transactions via UBA Bank in Nigeria by using CIA links to distribute among the pro-coup military personnel in Turkey. The ongoing investigation unveiled that Campbell had paid at least two secret visits to Turkey since May, until the day of the coup attempt. The coup plot that was foiled by the comprehensive effort of Turkish Nation, including its citizens, politicians, media and police forces, was organized by the Fethullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) led-by so-called cleric Fethullah Glen who has been living in self-exile in America for several years. American Intelligence, Military and other institutions are accused of supporting the FETO leader Glen and his gangs for the military coup. Military sources said Campbell, who was the commander of ISAF between August 26, 2014 and May 1, 2016, had made some top secret meetings in Erzurum military base and Adana nicrlik Airbase. ncirlik Airbase has been used by the U.S. Military for conducting the anti-Daesh campaign in Syria. Military sources said that Campbell was the man, who directed the process of trending / blacklisting the military officers in the base. If the coup attempt was successful, Campbell would visit Turkey in a short time, according to the sources. The Nigeria branch of the United Bank of Africa (UBA) was the main base for the last six-months of money transactions for the coup plotters. Millions of dollars of money has been transferred from Nigeria to Turkey by a group of CIA personnel. The money, which has been distributed to an 80-person special team of the CIA, was used to convince pro-coup generals. More than 2 billion dollars were distributed during the process leading to the coup. After taking money from their bank accounts, the CIA team hand delivered it to the terrorists under the military dresses. In the Persian Gulf, accusations are also starting to circulate with Qatars Minister of State for Defense claiming that both Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates supported the coup. According to Khalid al-Attiyah, This document [which he posted on his twitter account]reveals that a Saudi Emir and a top Emirati military official have been aware, in advance, of an imminent plot to topple the Turkish President through their participation in the Anatolian Eagle maneuvers held last May. However, they refrained from informing the Turkish authorities. According to the document, the coup was scheduled for August but took place on July 15th. Likewise, fallout is taking place in Europe with the EU warning Erdogan that his reaction to the coup may jeopardize his chances of being admitted into the EU. In fact, Brussels has warned that, if Turkey decides to go ahead with its reinstatement of the death penalty for the putchists, its bid for membership would be effectively over. These recent developments (a greater trend toward Russia and continued shaky relations with Europe and the United States) tend to lend credence to claims by those suggesting that the coup was initiated by West (the United States in particular) as a response to Turkeys recent warming of relations with Russia. These individuals claim that the U.S., in fear that they were losing an ally and useful pawn in the war against Syria to Russia, attempted to overthrow Erdogan and replace him with a more amenable government or, at the very least, frighten Erdogan into playing ball. One such individual is researcher and analyst, Mimi al-Laham (aka Syrian Girl, Partisan Girl). She says, I dont believe it [the coup] is [an inside job], the man had to go on FaceTime to tell his people to come out in the streets and protest, it was quite humiliating! The reason I dont believe it was, its because a few days before the coup, about 4 days, Turkey started making statements that they were sorry for shooting down the Russian jet, and they wanted to re-affirm their alliance with Russia, and they wanted to get closer to their regional allies. This was like a few days or weeks after Brexit. Basically, the EU wasnt the same EU anymore.. and the Turkey wasnt desperate to join it any-more, so Turkey decided to maybe come up with a different Foreign Policy, and Turkey is also unhappy with the agenda to create a Kurdish state in Syria, because that is going to create a Kurdish state in Turkey as well, and of-course, it is going to displace the Christian and Syrian population in Syria as a result, but I guess those people dont matter, as long as the agenda is pushed. But, Erdogan is / has been a criminal for the last 4 years, and there is no doubt that he has supported terrorism up until this day, but, he is not the biggest criminal: the biggest criminals were his puppet masters which were in the White House, because, obviously, those people are far more powerful, and those people there is a lot of indication that it was actually the CIA that was behind it. There were reports that came out that Russia actually tipped off the Turks : the leader behind the coup is in Washington, and Washington has refused to extradite him. If you look at the Media, the Main Stream Media, for some reason, even though we have been calling Erdogan a terrorist supporter for ages, only now have they decided: Yep! Oh yea, yea, he is a terrorist supporter. France, just before the Nice attacks, or Im not quite sure but at-least before the coup, they shut down their Embassy in Turkey. I mean, France has made statements now that Erdogan can no longer be a partner against terror. Its a joke, cause France itself has been openly arming terror for the last 4 years, and, of-course, so has Turkey : so whats really going on is France is angry that Turkey is choosing to go a different way now, its leaning now towards trying to reverse the disaster it has created for itself, with this instability, with economic problems with Russia, taking advice and shooting down a Russian jet, all because they wanted to join the EU which is on its way to collapsing. This is how I read the situation, and I think that *the idea that they did it to themselves.. uhm, I think it comes from a hate and distrust of Erdogan, like a lack of understanding as to why sometimes puppets are just thrown away when they are no longer doing what they are told, or they are no longer useful which you know, its a confusing situation, but no, many people died, people are in exile, coup leaders are in jail, I dont think he did it to himself, I think that Russia tipped him off about a CIA agent to get rid of him, and put in some-one else that was gonna maintain the status-quo, and not try to make friends with Russia. Still, as Tony Cartalucci writes in his article Turkeys Failed Coup A Gift From God, if the United States was truly involved in the Turkish coup or even if the U.S. had merely facilitated the coup via the Gulen Movement, Turkeys response has been disproportionately subdued. No one is suggesting that Turkey would go to war with the United States, writes Cartalucci, but even amid diplomatic rows of far lesser significance, nations have expelled diplomats and withdrawn the use of their territory for specific uses by the nation in question. Turkey, so far, has done none of this in regards to the United States. If the U.S. was truly involved in the Turkish coup one would expect a number of actions to follow the incident. First, as Cartalucci suggests, we would expect to see the expulsion of diplomats and the expulsion of U.S. forces from Turkish territory, namely Incirlik Air Base. We would expect the closure of the rather large American embassy in Ankara. Likewise, Turkey would then be forced to rethink its membership in NATO since, despite the organization being based upon the concept of collective defense, no one came to Turkeys aid even though the coup would be considered an overt act of war against the Turkish government. We would also expect to see Turkey move closer to Russia, Iran, and possibly China as well as some elements of Europe. While international developments are clearly still in flux, we have seen at least some signs that Turkey is moving closer to Russia but, interestingly enough, signs that Turkey may be moving further away from Europe. So there still stands as a distinct possibility that the United States was indeed involved in the coup but that it was not alone. At this point in time, we can only watch and gauge the reactions of Turkey and the subsequent behavior of the Erdogan government. Will Turkey engage in punitive measures or will it double down against Syria, Russia, Iran, and political dissent within the country? Without being privy to inside information, Turkeys behavior will tell us all we need to know in regards to who was behind this coup. If Erdogan did indeed conspire with the United States to stage a coup and provide a pretext for a massive crackdown and purge of his political enemies, then the man known for narcissism and delusions of grandeur made one hell of a gutsy move that appears to be paying dividends in the form of solidifying his control over the country. If this is case, then Turkey is in for an even rougher ride and, unfortunately, so is Syria.

If no one knows who was behind the failed coup, you can be sure it was Israel. But then, Israel doesnt fail, which makes me think they relied on CIA for this. And CIA usually messes up their assignments. There goes Qatari pipe dream. If I were Russia, Id look upon any alliance with Turkey with a jaundiced eye: it looks like this failed coup was cocked up by the US, Israel and Erdogan: Russia targeted for reduction of its power position in Syria and the Arc of Crisis; perhaps blamed for some future false flag nuclear attack on the US. Consider: many of the front-line Turkish troops involved in the coup thought it was a military exercise; the alleged coup leader was once military attach to Israel; the coup didnt take over Turkish media, vital if a coup is to succeed; Islamist are now rumored to be acting as death squads within Turkey, eliminating political opposition; the US is setting up military bases in Kurdish occupied areas (Yinon Plan); ISIS Islamist are still filtering into Syria. Did anyone notice that Kerry was in Moscow baby-sitting Putin while the failed coup was being carried out? A failed coup accomplished the following: 1. Enabled Erdogan to consolidate power and remove his enemies. Ultimately the power calculus for Israel is unchanged; but the US and Russia must realize that the final middle east map, the New World Order goal planned by the Round Table, the banking cartel and its Israel project, does not include them. This can be discerned by the BREXIT vote: the beginning of the re-emergent British global power, centered on nuclear Israel, the middle east oil fields, the banking cartel, its privatized military industrial complex, the British emerging alliance with China; all protected by the xenophobia now sweeping Britain. For the Round Table, Illuminati bankers, China is the key. The template for their global control: a totalitarian capitalist state (world) run by them, centered in Jerusalem. Your analysis is baseless. I smell a troll Huh! Thats kind of funny because I smell one, too! Turkien is situated geographicaly in an uniqe place, as an border between continents. This is an realignment, and hopefully back to be what you where, an powerful nation of trade and be the leading light, in the Islamic world.

2	Mayor: We Must Ban The Muslim Faith Were at the point where the threat of radical Islam cannot be ignored, and Mayor Robert Chardon of France is calling for a ban on the religion all together. Its the only solution for most of Frances problems, he argued. We also need a Marshall Plan to send Muslims to countries where the religion is practiced. Chandon is the mayor of Venelles, a town with a population of more than 8,000 people. The Republic should promote the practice of the Christian faith, he continued. Its clear that hes not afraid to speak up for what he really believes in. If only we had a leader that would do the same 
3	US Government To Decide How Much Is Enough For Your RetirementJeff Berwick In a private enterprise, thatd mean offering more to your customers for a cheaper price. In government, it is always the opposite, finding ways to reduce benefits for their customers. This is why Obamacare is and will be a disaster to anyone interested in having quality medical care and choice in the US. Once the government uses its force to gain a monopoly on a sector like medical care then all of a sudden it now becomes everyone elses business what you do with your own body. You smoke? You should be stopped! Dont wear a seatbelt? You should be fined. Why? Because we are all paying for each others medical care and so it now becomes everyone elses business what you do with your health because it could potentially cost them more money. The same has been happening since the US government has had a multi-decade long monopoly on retirement savings (IRAs). Since they get to make the rules they get to decide just how much is enough for your retirement and that is exactly what will be happening next week when President Obama will be releasing his budget plan which will limit how much a wealthy individual can keep in those tax-reducing IRA plans and other retirement accounts. According to a senior administration official, wealthy taxpayers can currently accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement savingand of course in the communist administrations eyes, thats a real shame. The job of government is of course to level the playing field by stealing from and putting up obstacles for those with too much. The budget would limit an individuals total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per year in retirement, or about $3 million in 2013. So, according to them, $205,000 per year is sufficient and people should not be allowed to have more than that in retirement savings. But, remember, disbursements from an IRA are taxable, so that $205,000, if you lived in any number of states where total income taxes are over 50%, very quickly brings that number down to around $100,000 after theft or tax as they call it. Of course, that is just the beginning of other payments to the state. Your average person with a $3 million IRA probably lives in at least a $1 million house. If that person lived in New Jersey where property tax averages 1.89% of property value, then you can take another $19,000 off of the remaining $100,000 for property tax payments to rent his own home. Of course, there will be numerous countless really other taxes paid over the course of the year gasoline tax, cigarette taxes, alcohol taxes and numerous others. But, even without including those we are already below $7,000/month. But here is the real kicker. If that person did take the $205,000/year annuity, their retirement funds would only last them fourteen years. Of course, some may state that they could and should be earning a return during that time which will extend it. But your average person who owns mostly 2% paying dividend stocks or 2% paying Treasuries is actually losing nearly 10% per year to monetary inflation. The US central banks current rate of money printing which does and will turn into price increases is over 10%. If they are losing 8% per year on that $3 million then it will only be ten years before that $3 million is actually only worth $1.3 million in real dollars. That $205,000 per annum, at todays monetary inflation rate, also will only be equivalent to $90,000 in ten years time. After all the taxes to be paid that person would be likely eating cat food just to survive. These are the wonders of the American Dream today. It is turning into a nightmare. They have you coming and going from all sides. And then, if you manage to survive all the taxes and inflation, whatever remaining money you have left will be mostly gutted by the death tax. Yes, there is a tax to die in the land of the free. And dont try to commit suicide either. Thats illegal. Next Confiscation This, of course, is the warm up for big confiscation of retirement account money later on a topic that has already been discussed openly in Congress. I cant understand why anyone would put their money in a retirement vehicle under government control. Thats like putting your child in a cage full of lions for safekeeping. A much better option would be a self-directed IRA like the one we offer here at TDV. Also, did you know that you can buy real estate with your IRA? A good option would be real estate in another nation-state since the US government would have a very hard time confiscating that. You could invest in an income-producing condo in beautiful Acapulco, for exampleor you could buy investment property in our burgeoning liberty-minded community at Galts Gulch, Chile. The central planners in the US and most Western governments have and will decide how much is enough for you to have and if you manage to still have significant assets after that, theyll continue to whittle them away via taxation and inflation. Its all easily predictable as this is where things always go once things are socialized or collectivized. As Winston Churchill said, The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. We dont suggest you wait much longer before removing yourself and your assets from a system set on ensuring the equal sharing of misery. See how TDV can help you with offshore banking options here.

2	You Wont Believe The Dire Warning Netanyahu Just Issued To Americans Many Americans have come to see the danger that Islam poses. However, many feel obligated to stay quiet to remain politically correct. Those same people have started to view groups like Hamas as revolutionary heroesdespite the facts that they are actually active terrorists. Now, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has started to speak out about the common misconceptions about the grouplike for instance, the fact that some continue to believe that the terrorist organization will cooperate. According to Fox News, Netanyahu recently sat down with Sean Hannity to give warning to the United States, claiming that they are a major reason they are facing threats from major Islamic groups. These people fight among themselves to see who will be king of the hill. But one thing they agree on: its going to be an Islamist hill, Netanyahu claimed.Youre the Great Satan. Youre ultimately the target. They attack us because they believe that we are you and that you are us. And in one sense of things, they are right. We are you and you are us, the Prime Minister continued. We are that enlightened, civilized, beleaguered democracy not without fault trying at best as we can to stop the hemorrhaging, protecting ourselves against these vile enemies. What do you think? Is it time for Obama to put his full support behind Israel? 
3	Ignoring WhistleblowersSARTRE Yet, before you slam the jail shut, reflect upon the Secretly Recorded Audio Leaked of Bradley Mannings Court Statement. Listen to the Full Statement. Also, view the YouTube video, Bradley Manning Tells Court Public Have the Right to Know About US War Crimes. A cogent reaction from another renowned whistleblower, Daniel Ellsberg of the Pentagon Papers fame, carries the weight of a brave man from another era. Its important to remember through all this that Manning has alreadypleadguilty to ten charges of violating military regulations (few of which, if any would be civilian crimes) and faces twenty years in jail. Yet the prosecutors are still going ahead with the absurd charge of aiding the enemy, a capital offense, of which the prosecutors are asking for life in prison. In any political trial, the spirit of the law is sacrificed for the expediency of protecting a debased regime. Balance in prosecution is a concept unknown to a government consumed with punishing any perceived enemy of the state. Attorney Floyd Abrams and Professor Yochai Benkler provide a thoughtful perspective and legal opinion in The New York Times editorial Death to Whistle-Blowers? Under the prosecutions theory, because Private Manning knew the materials would be published and that Al Qaeda could read them once published, he indirectly communicated with the enemy. But in this theory, whether publication is by WikiLeaks or The Times is entirely beside the point. Defendants are guilty of aiding the enemy for leaking to a publishing medium simply because that publication can be read by anyone with an Internet connection. Private Mannings guilty plea gives the prosecution an opportunity to rethink its strategy. The extreme charges remaining in this case create a severe threat to future whistle-blowers, even when their revelations are crystal-clear instances of whistle-blowing. We cannot allow our concerns about terrorism to turn us into a country where communicating with the press can be prosecuted as a capital offense. No such mercy from the imperial empire, Manning must suffer the supreme wrath for his transgressions. His admissions acknowledge expected official sanctions, but the sentiment of Daniel Ellsberg reflects the standpoint of many Manning supporters. For the third straight year, Manning has been nominated for the Noble Peace Prize by, among others, Tunisian parliamentarians. Given the role the WikiLeaks cables played in the Arab Spring, and their role in speeding up the end of the Iraq War, I can think of no one more deserving who is deserving of the peace prize. Hes also deserving of the Congressional Medal of Honor. This medal, awarded by Congress and not the executive branch is given to military personnel, who during wartime, do what they should do for their country and their comrades, at the greatest risk to themselves. Another target of recrimination, seen in the Sibel Edmonds dismissal is a classic example of punishing the whistleblower. Edmonds took a job as a translator at the FBI shortly after 9-11. Her story, stated in the YouTube interview, The Government Is Raping You: Sibel Edmonds, is compelling. Sibel Edmonds Finally Wins, documents her observation in the book, Classified Womanand offers a disturbing assessment of her fellow workers. Edmonds found at the FBI translation unit almost entirely two types of people. The first group was corrupt sociopaths, foreign spies, cheats and schemers indifferent to or working against U.S. national security. The second group was fearful bureaucrats unwilling to make waves. The ordinary competent person with good intentions who risks their job to say something if you see something is the rarest commodity. Hence the elite category that Edmonds found herself almost alone in: whistleblowers. This characterization of morally challenged federal employees is a direct consequence of a system that protects the cover-ups, while punishing disclosure of conflicting evidence of outright corruption. The silent culture of concealment or the worse incentive system of collusion runs the governing bureaucracies. The always insightful, William F. Jasper of the New American writes in Sibel Edmonds Classified Woman. Unfortunately, most of Edmonds contributing editors at BoilingFrogs are decidedly left of center, and their anti-globalist, anti-war, anti-police-state arguments and analyses tend to range from the progressive to the Marxoid. However, when she went public and came under attack, it wasnt Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh who came to her defense; it was the anti-Bush Left that rallied to her aid. In fact, the faux conservatives at FOX, National Review, and the radio talk show universe alternately ignored and attacked her; they were busy cheerleading George W. Bushs unconstitutional wars abroad and his unconstitutional police-state measures at home. Sympathetic coverage for Edmonds from alternative media on the Right has been woefully lacking, with a few exceptions. In April 2011, Sibel Edmonds submitted her manuscript for Classified Woman to the FBI for review, as required by terms of her employment agreement. Under that agreement, the FBI has 30 days to approve and/or require deletions and revisions. After waiting over 340 days with no response from the bureau, Edmonds took the path that few others have taken; she published anyway. However, with every publisher afraid to touch it, she was forced to publish it on her own. She knows that any day now the Obama administration, which has prosecuted more whistleblowers than all previous administrations combined, may come after her. Forget about the false left-right paradigm. The War of Terror being waged by the imperium empire is designed to crush whistleblowers, and keep the brain dead in a zombie trance. Just consider the impact on the Afghanistan campaign if the FBI acted upon the evidence disclosed by Sibel Edmonds that cuts to the heart of the 911 myth assumptions. The military-industrial-security-intelligence complex closes ranks to protect their Splendid Little Wars. The whistleblowers that expose the lies out of the War Party establishment are only a minor distraction, as long as the public sleeps in their self-induced coma. The Army Times item, Hagel to order review of drone medal precedence, is one such interlude, while the control-and-command structure continues to aim their weapons at imaginary threats. Who would doubt that the Bradley Mannings and Sibel Edmonds, squealers of state secrets, would be prime quarries for the hunt to eliminate enemies of the state? The only good government snitch is a Gitmo captive. So goes the claims of the governance prosecutors. How many people have actually examined the information in the Manning WikiLeak disclosures or read the Edmonds account of 911-treason complicity? Oh no, the discomfort of confronting the fake reality of the official story of make believe is too disturbing for most people. When Edmonds describes the traitors within the national security structure, the fearful bureaucrats facilitate the ongoing treachery that passes for nationalism. When Manning exposes the documents that prove a genocide policy is in effect, the penalty demanded by the bellicose command is his execution. An honorable whistleblower is a citizen hero. Disobeying dishonest laws is true patriotism. In the end, A Different Philosophy of Civil Disobedience, is needed. Complacency is the countrywide disease of choice.

1	Upon entering the Walter E. Johnson Convention Center Monday, attendees of the 2012 International AIDS Conference were reportedly treated to free gift bags full of top-notch AIDS gear. Man, they gave us some really sweet AIDS stuff this year, immunologist Dr. Scott Fletcher, 41, told reporters as he held up his awesome new AIDS schwag, which consisted of an AIDS lanyard, an AIDS coffee mug, an AIDS t-shirt, and a complimentary AIDS iTunes gift card. I needed a new case for my phone anyway, so now that I have this AIDS hard-shell iPhone protector, I guess I wont have to go out and buy one myself. At press time, no one was paying attention to the keynote address being delivered by former President Bill Clinton, as they were too busy unwrapping their free AIDS Nintendo DS consoles. 
1	Determining that not one of his recent food selections was entirely above suspicion, local man Kevin Curhan said Thursday that his food poisoning could realistically be pinned on any meal from the past week. I had that leftover burrito for lunch yesterday, and thatd been sitting around in the fridge for a pretty long time, but then again, the milk I had that morning was also kinda off, said Curhan, adding that the food from the $4.99 Chinese buffet and the fried eggs he realized were undercooked but went ahead and ate anyway could also be responsible for the overpowering nausea he was currently experiencing. Then there were those turkey cold cuts I had Tuesday that were a couple of days expired. Those have to be at least part of it, dont they? Theres probably a few other things Im not thinking of, too. At press time, Curhan was comfortable removing only a bowl of plain oatmeal consumed last Saturday from his list of possible culprits. 
2	Trey Gowdy Just Went All In, SCOLDS Crooked Dems About Aiding Hillarys Treason Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina has been making headlines this week, for his relentless efforts to hold Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton accountable for her many crimes as Secretary of State. Unfortunately, those efforts have been an uphill battle. It seems that the government and media are determined to let Clinton leave as a free woman. This is prosecutor 101, Gowdy said of the courts recent decision to allow a crucial witness to plead the fifth. You dont give immunity to the person who actually robbed the bank. You may want to give it to the getaway driver, you may want to give it to the person who helped them count the money afterwards, but you dont give immunity to the person who walked in and robbed the bank. But Gowdys criticisms didnt stop there. They blew it, he insisted in a recent interview with Fox News. They gave immunity to the trigger man. You better be right on who the trigger person is. You better be right on who the culprit person is if youre going to give transactional immunity. And if thats what they did, then they immunized the one person that you would most want to prosecute for the destruction of government records. It is frankly stunning. What do you think of Gowdys comments? Watch the interview below and share your thoughts with us. Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com 
3	7.6 Mag. Quake in Solomon Islands; Tsunami Warnings IssuedBrandon Turbeville and Heather Callaghan The earthquake took place around 7:15am local time and the epicenter was located about 62 miles southeast of Kirakira, Solomon Islands. The depth of the earthquake was estimated to be approximately 18.2 miles. Original reports set the magnitude of the quake at 8.3 before subsequent reports revised it downward. There were initial warnings of possible tsunamis for New Zealand; however, those warnings have now been cancelled. Still, there are risks of both stronger and unusual currents along the New Zealand coast. It is not known whether there are any injuries as a result of the Solomon Islands quake. This chain of events has led many to speculate that there may perhaps be some type of increase in geological and seismological activity that could precipitate a catastrophic event. Others, however, maintain that these occurrences can be attributed to natural causes. Also see: Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

3	5th City in America Bans NDAA Indefinite Detentionselfnews Post Whats unique about this win, though, is the sincerity and quick action of the council. Middleton is a little city, with a big heart. The 2012 NDAA, or National Defense Authorization Act, contains two provisions, sections 1021 and 1022, which violate over 14 provisions of the U.S. Constitution. These sections, known as the detention provisions, allow for the indefinite military detention of any person, including an American citizen, without charge or trial. Further, they allow for the extrajudicial execution, torture, and rendition of any person held in military custody, as well as thelockdown of American cities under military control. Middleton joins Albany, NY, Webster and Oxford, MA, Gem County, and Emmett, ID in declaring their city is not a battlefield, not subject to the laws of war and no person will: arrest or capture any person in Middleton, or citizen of Middleton within the United States, with the intent of detention under the law of war, or actually subject a person in Middleton to disposition under the law of war, or subject any person to targeted killing in Middleton, or citizen of Middleton within the United States Panda Idaho would like to congratulate the great people of Middleton who have now become the second city in Idaho to block indefinite detention and laws of war. They have elected a fine group to represent them. I have been to a lot of city council meetings and have never seen one so efficient and detail oriented. The people applaud Middletons council for honoring their oath and doing so with no reservations. As Jason said, the city council of Middleton deserves some special recognition. In most cities and counties, including all of the above, the NDAA Resistance had to apply massive pressure to get anything passed. In Middleton, it was different. Thanks to the behind-the scenes work of Councilor Lenny Riccio, when the Resistance presented the Restoring Constitutional Governance Resolution for their consideration, the council did not hesitate. They understood their oaths, acting from their hearts. Without a word, and with only three citizens in the chambers asking them to defend the rights of their people, the council did not hesitate. Acting on one accord, after less than 10 minutes of discussion, the Middleton City Council passed the RCGR unanimously on Wednesday. PLEASE take the time with us to thank one of the city council members or mayor of Middleton for their relentless dedication to liberty: Mayor Darin Taylor: Rob Kiser: Carrie Huggins: Brad Spencer Lenny Riccio The NDAA Resistance is rising. 6 jurisdictions have already banned the NDAA/laws of war from their area.

1	No amount of explanation has been sufficient to make Dylan Rieder, 8, understand why he is not permitted on the roof of his family's two-story home. Dylan Rieder stands near the controversial roof. 'I don't know why I can't play up there,' Rieder said Monday. 'I'm not gonna fall off. It's way less steep than the slide at the playground. And I never fall off that when I climb up. Plus, I wouldn't ruin anythingthere's not even anything to ruin. It's just the roof and the chimney and the TV antenna and the wires that go to the telephone pole, but I know not to touch the wires.' Rieder's remarks came on the heels of his third parental warning in as many weeks not to even think about going on the roof. 'He does this every summer,' said Beth Rieder, Dylan's mother. 'As soon as it gets warm, he gets it in his head that he needs to get on that roof, and he won't give up until it's covered with snow. If I hadn't been out shopping all afternoon, he would have bugged me about it again today.' While Rieder has been subjected to numerous anti-roof-climbing lectures from his parents, his older brother Stephen, and next-door neighbor Mr. Rutigliano, none of their arguments have struck him as valid. Reasons given for staying off the roof have included the danger of falling off, the fragility of the shingles, and what someone driving by might think. 'He knows he shouldn't be up there,' Beth said. 'That's that.' Rieder said he recognizes that safety is a concern and promised he would not run, jump, or otherwise conduct himself irresponsibly if let onto the roof. 'I would be really, really careful,' Rieder said. 'It's not that different from climbing a tree. Mom once said she was going to let me put a treehouse up there. What's the difference?' Rieder said he could perform many useful tasks if permitted onto the roof. 'I could see if any balls got caught up there and throw them down. And I could make sure the chimney doesn't have anything stuck in it,' Rieder said. 'Also, I could help get the leaves out of the leavesdrops [sic], then Dad wouldn't have to get all mad at the ladder when it pinches his fingers.' As further evidence that his parents have nothing to fear, Rieder cited several eye-opening statistics. 'People can get killed in a car accident a hundred times more easy than they can on a roof,' Rieder said. 'Or they can eat poison by accident or get a disease or get bit by a dog and get rabies. So I should get to go on the roof, 'cause it would be a lot safer than that.' Though he would like his parents' permission, Rieder said he has not ruled out a covert roof visit. Without use of his parents' bedroom window, which they keep locked at all times, Rieder's best chance for roof access is via a tree in the backyard. By climbing to the fourth extending branch, Rieder would be able to drop down neatly onto the roof. The tree, however, is visible to anyone looking out the kitchen window, the very place where his mother stands as she does dishes and prepares meals. 'I might try the tree in the back, too, but that's harder,' Rieder said. 'I can't get caught, 'cause Mom would kill me.' Climbing on the roof is not the only activity forbidden to Rieder. Also verboten are pulling up the loose blacktop at the edge of the driveway, picking leaves off the bushes in the front yard, playing with the rocks in the window wells, writing on the side of the house with chalk, climbing on the water meter, putting anything in the mailbox without prior approval, and opening the chest freezer in the garage. 
2	Michelle Obama Was Just Caught On Video Doing Something Truly Sickening [VIDEO] You would think that with all the threats that America is facing, Michelle Obama might finally give up her ridiculous projects and focus on the true issues impacting our country. Instead, Michelle jumped at the opportunity this week to host her last garden-planting event at the White House. During her appearance, Michelle complained about how emotional the experience was for her. Its interesting that she shows more compassion for a garden than she does about say, our men and women in uniform or taxpayer dollars. It was eight years ago that we cooked up this really interesting idea that maybe we could dig up some dirt on the South Lawnmaybe somebody would let us do that, and we would plant a wonderful garden that would be a space for us to talk about the food we eat, Michelle commented. This is my baby, she continued. And hopefully, this will not be the last planting. Hopefully, there will be other administrations who come in and they take up this project and continue to make this a part of the White House tradition. On second thought, we cant blame Michelle for getting emotional. This is probably the most positive thing she ever did in the White House. Still, you wont see us patting her on the back anytime soon.

2	Barack And Michelles Marriage Is Coming To End After THIS [VIDEO] A new video reveals volumes about Michelle Obama after she has an unfortunate slip off. Believe me, as a busy single motheror, I shouldnt say single, as a busy mother, sometimes you know, when youve got a husband who is president, it can feel a little single, Michelle told CBS. But hes there. But as a working mom, and before coming to the White House, I was in that position, you know, as well. Working, driving kids to practice, not having enough time to shop or cook, not having the energy, you know, the resources werent the issue but time and energy is key. The slip seems to indicate volumes about the relationship between the President and his wife. It has long been rumored that the pair have been having issues. Some even claim they are headed toward divorce. What do you think? Are the Obamas faking their marriage? 
1	Despite her effusive passion for education, constant encouragement, and heartfelt devotion to her pupils, English teacher Marcia Belsheims inspirational influence on Clement C. Young High School students is reportedly entirely canceled out by the attitude and conduct of every other educator employed at the institution, sources confirmed Tuesday. Mrs. Belsheim makes me feel like I can do anything I set my mind to, but then unfortunately the rest of my classes convince me that school is a waste of my time and I probably wont amount to anything, said student Paul Whitaker, 15, adding that the brief glimmer of excitement he feels toward learning in his first period English class is quickly and permanently extinguished by his six other teachers apathetic and detached classroom behavior. Sure, Mrs. Belsheim inspires us all to be the best we can be, but after sitting through Mr. [Edward] Durbrows awful science class the very next period, I really dont give a shit about school or my future at all anymore. At press time, weeks worth of Belsheims attentive after-school tutoring sessions for her sophomores were being systematically negated by Principal David Fords string of demeaning outbursts and lascivious advances toward students.

I know it might sound nave, but I really do believe theres an online dating service out there that was meant for me, said Ecklund, adding that he remains undiscouraged by the fact that, while many of his friends have already found websites or downloadable apps that seem to make them happy, he himself has struggled to find an internet matchmaking program he feels truly compatible with. Ive been with a lot of great sites in the pastone of my subscriptions even lasted more than a yearbut for one reason or another they just never seemed to work out. My friends are always telling me there are plenty of dating services out there that would be lucky to have me. It gets frustrating, but I know I just need to keep looking. At press time, an excited Ecklund informed reporters that he was recently introduced to an online dating site that he could really see himself spending the rest of his life with. 
2	BREAKING: 48 Killed In Devastating ISIS Attack... While Obama has been slow to take any significant action, ISIS is quickly becoming the most incomprehensibly violent terrorist organization weve ever seen. According to reports, ISIS recently beheaded 23 teenagers on suspicion of spying and dissolved 25 more civilians in nitric acid. Reports also indicated that the group buried a 2 year old girl alive.Both the child and her parents were executed after they were caught trying to flee from the terror organization. As if that werent enough to turn your stomach, senior military officials have now come forward with claims that ISIS is only increasing their violent streak. ISIS reportedly beheaded more than 100 people for espionage this week alone, and many of those executions were carried out in public. Officials believe that the organization is becoming increasingly desperate as they face defeat. What do you think of these new statistics? Does ISIS need to be stopped NOW? 
1	Moments after witnessing the historic inauguration of President Barack Obama Tuesday, the massive, euphoric crowd shifted to the White House gates to watch the rest of his four-year term unfold. 'This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the new president administrate as it happens,' said Hawaii resident Matt Rogers, who paid a scalper $100 to secure his portion of sidewalk until January 2013. 'These first 100 days will really set the tone for his presidency, and I'm going to see it all from 50 yards away.' This is reportedly the largest crowd of presidential spectators to assemble since 1974, when 20 million Americans stood for six months outside disgraced former president Nixon's home in San Clemente, CA just to rub it in. 
1	Agricultural scientists around the world are hailing what is being called 'the biggest breakthrough in biotechnology since the breakthrough it fixes.' A Texas A&M chemist works on the breakthrough. On Monday, Texas A&M chemists unveiled Zovirex-10, a revolutionary new fungicide capable of halting the spread of a fungus unexpectedly spawned by a July 2000 breakthrough, an advanced soy hybrid that grows 10 times better in soil over-saturated with chemical herbicides. The fungus, which, if left unchecked, would likely have destroyed 98 percent of Earth's soy crop and wrought untold environmental havoc, made the latest scientific advance possible. 'It's an extraordinary development,' said Dr. Nathan Oberst, project coordinator and the man responsible for both breakthroughs. 'At the time, we thought the soy hybrid was a fantastic thing. When the resultant fungus started wiping out other soybean plants at an alarming rate, we thought we might have blundered, but now it's clear that this potential global disaster was just the precondition we needed for a major leap forward.' Oberst dismissed charges that the development of new biotechnological advances to counteract unexpected side effects of prior biotechnological advances constitutes a dangerous Moebius loop. 'It may seem dangerous to tinker with nature without knowing the long-term effects,' he said. 'But without the threat of environmental disaster caused by the short-sighted unbalancing of natural forces, how are we to bring about positive change in the world around us?' Oberst downplayed claims that if Zovirex-10 were to seep into the groundwater, it would kill off 70 percent of fish and aquatic plant life, poison 35 percent of the human population, and raise the temperature of the sea by seven degrees. 'If this is true, it shouldn't be thought of as a disaster,' he said. 'Modern science has a long, proven track record of correcting the mistakes it inadvertently unleashes on the world. I'm confident that if the worst ever came to pass, science would find some way to fix it. That's what science does.' According to Oberst, flawed and dangerous technological advances have helped broaden understanding in all fields of science. 'Just think about the hydrogen bomb,' Oberst said. 'Not only was it a tremendous breakthrough in physics, it broadened our knowledge of everything from radiation containment to bomb-shelter construction to hair loss. Science has been coming up with breakthrough after breakthrough to fix the problems that the H-bomb has created. Without the H-bomb, we would know significantly less about the potential problems associated with the H-bomb.' 'People shouldn't see man-made global disasters as a bad thing,' Oberst added. 'They should see them as scientific breakthroughs waiting to happen.'

3	Zero Tolerance Lunacy: Teen Faces Felony Charges for Possession of a Loaded Tackle BoxKimberly Paxton 17-year-old Cody Chitwood was busted during a random sweep of the Lassiter High School parking lot by police and this student who has never been in trouble before now faces prosecution, large fines, prison time, and the loss of his plans to join the Air Force in the future due to a hysterical overreaction that has resulted in his arrest. Cody Chitwood, 17, is a senior at Lassiter High School, and an avid fisherman. He went fishing at his favorite spot, Mountain Park off Highway 92 and Mabry Road several days before and left his two fishing poles and tackle box in his car. Little did he know that Lassiter administrators would order a K-9 search of the parking lot on Sept. 17 and a dog would hit on his car. The dog apparently picked up a scent of black powder because Chitwood also had several firecrackers in his trunk, left over from a Fourth of July celebration. That was enough for police to order a thorough search of his 1998 BMW 328i. They found four knives, all of them with blades of at least 2.5 inches, according to the arrest warrant. Three of them, including a fillet knife and a spring-assisted knife, were inside his tackle box in the trunk. A butterfly knife was found inside the pocket of the drivers side door. I enjoy fishing. I go fishing probably once a week, sometimes twice a week, said Chitwood, who has been suspended for 10 days by Lassiter Principal Chris Richie. I just forgot that it was in there. I had my fishing poles in the car, too. He was charged with carrying a weapon in a school safety zone, which is a felony in Georgia. (source) This hardened criminal a kid who spends his time outdoors fishing instead of sitting at home playing violent video games or going out and smoking dope and drinking beer under the bleachers may be witnessing the destruction of his bright future all because a group of administrators cant be bothered to look at each situation individually. Like all generalizations, zero tolerance policies are for lazy, unintelligent people who do not trust themselves to think critically about each individual situation. As well, a blanket policy makes it far easier to relinquish responsibility for actually making a decision based on the events and the people involved, and allows agendas to be pushed while freeing the enforcers of those agendas to say, My hands were tied we have a zero tolerance policy. Zero Tolerance: Its just code for Zero Critical Thinking Skills. Kimberly Paxton is a staff writer for the Daily Sheeple, where this article first appeared. She is based out of upstate New York.

3	10 Signs That Youre Fully Awakeselfnews Post As many continue to argue the accuracy of the Mayan calendar, it can no longer be argued that a great many people are finally becoming aware of what has been hidden from them for so long. Of course this awakening is not an overnight process. It takes time to peel away the many layers of lies to get to the core of the ultimate truths. It would be beyond pretentious for us to claim to know all of the secrets of the universe. We dont. Everyday we are humbled by what we dont yet know. However, it is becoming clearer by the day what isnt true. And by that measure alone, it is possible to determine if youre one of the people beginning to wake up. Here are ten signs you may be fully awake: 1. You know theres no meaningful difference between major political parties (Democrats and Republicans): Its so easy to get caught up the left-right debate and believe theres a difference between the two major political parties. However, debate is one thing, while actions are another. By their deeds you shall know them, and it is indisputable that there is no significant difference between political parties when it comes to action on the most important issues. Even hardened ideologues like John Cusack are beginning to wake up. 3. You know that preemptive war is never necessary: When we realize that self-defense is the only acceptable form of violence, then we become awakened human beings. To suggest war because someone is different from you, or they may pose a threat in the future is simply ludicrous. And when did the idea of bombing civilians become humanitarian?No one wants war except for the immoral creeps that benefit from it. 4. You know that youre being systematically poisoned, how, by whom, and why: Admittedly, theres a lot to learn in terms of how we are secretly being poisoned. But the fact remains that we are being systematically poisoned, and it is likely for the deliberate purpose of dumbing us down and, ultimately, culling the population. Who could believe anyone is so evil to do that to innocent people, you may ask. Well, once you begin to seek the answer to that question, youre one step closer to enlightenment. 5. You understand that government can never legislate morality, nor should they: When you realize the role of government is only to protect your liberty and work for the well being of the citizens, youre awakened.There should be one simple law regulating morality: Do no harm. Thus, its impossible for the government to enforce morality with guns, cages, and taxes because those clearly cause severe harm to your liberty and our well-being. 6. You know that the mainstream media is wholly owned and manipulated by the ruling elite:A dwindling number of people still actually believe what they hear coming from the establishment media as if itsgospel, even when they already accept that they are bought and paid for by the elite controllers. Yet, recognizing that they are nothing more than a propaganda machine and a form of mind controlare the first steps in being able to critically think beyond the scientific messaging they broadcast. 7. You know that your neighbors are not your enemy even if you have fierce ideological disagreements: This is perhaps the most difficult thing to overcome in the awakening process. But its vital to understand that your neighbors have been indoctrinated and hypnotized like the rest of the us, until someone helps shine a light on inconsistencies in our thoughts and beliefs. Most of their ideas are not their own. They are suffering just like the rest of us. Its okay to condemn their actions if theyre harmful, but those who are awake will not give up on spreading information that can enlighten those who might still be in the dark. None of us were born awake and all of us can learn even more. 8. You know that the endgame is one-world control of planet Earth:Once you understand that the endgame for the ruling elite is to have complete control of all vital facets of society through a global government, one-world currency, international armed forces, and so on, it is simple to see through the lies and propaganda surrounding even the most confusing world events. You will never go back to sleep when you fully accept this reality. 9. You recognize that there are esoteric powers manipulating our physical world: Whether youre a religious or spiritual person, scientific or just plain curious, there are many theories about an invisible force at play in all of this. Obviously its impossible to prove exactly what it is. You may not want to believe it, but the ruling elite takes their occult rituals deadly serious. And they likely know something we dont. Just by keeping an open mind about this possibility, youll forever keep an open mind about the things we can actually see, hear, taste and touch. Current science has shown that we can only see what the visible light spectrum reveals, which amounts to the tiniest fraction of all that can theoretically be seen within the full spectrum of energy. Part of any awakening is realizing that there is much more that is possible than impossible. 10. The power to change the world rests with you and you alone: For too long people have believed themselves to be weak, or relied on others to change the world for them. Youll know that youre fully awake when you realize that you have infinite power to change the world by simply living the change you want to see. First, you have to identify the principles that you believe in and then go out and live by them. If just a small minority took steps to do this, it would shake the establishment to its core. What kind of world do you want to live in?

1	A concerned parents' group is blaming a tragic shooting in the Martian Colonies on 'excessive and reprehensible video-game violence.' A 1999 yearbook photo of the young robot who committed the shooting. Parents Against Robot-On-Robot Violence (PARORV) is calling for a ban on the giant-robot-themed PlayStation 2 game 'Armored Core 2,' which the group claims inspired a 17-year-old giant robot's Feb. 22 slaying of 13 giant robots and himself. According to Martian authorities, the young assailant was obsessed with the violent game. 'From what we've seen, this appears to be a case of a giant robot who, through excessive exposure to giant-robot-battle video-game scenarios, lost the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality,' PARORV spokeswoman Marianna Cutchek said. The giant robot, a heavily armored high-end Zio Matrix AC, became addicted to the video game over the past year. Described by neighbors as 'quiet' and 'sullen,' he played 'Armored Core 2' for upwards of nine Martian hours a day, avoiding contact with other giant robots his own age and becoming progressively more withdrawn. Despite the presence of warning signs, no one could have anticipated what happened at 3:12 p.m. Martian Standard Time, when the robot, armed to the teeth with the latest in giant-robot assault-weapons technology, entered the Old Murakumo Dome, a remnant of the first terraforming. Upon entering, the troubled young robot opened fire on a random crowd of giant robots before turning his continuous-fire high-energy weapon on himself. Witnesses said the robot, who was experiencing failing grades in the Arena and was said to be several thousand credits in debt, appeared to be under 'great strain' at the time of the multiple robocide. The robot, one witness said, displayed an 'almost mechanical lack of emotion' during the four-and-a-half-minute shooting spree, gunning down his fellow robots, as well as several fortified laser-gun stations and a number of unmanned drones, with 'inhuman' precision. 'He was like a machine, programmed to kill without hesitation or remorse,' said DTD-35667C, a 44-year-old robot injured in the attack. The video game that allegedly inspired him. Forensic experts investigating the grisly mass murder still have no explanation for the mental breakdown of the robot. However, they stressed that the assailant's 'piloting skills were very impressive,' noting that the superior stability of the rogue AC's quadrupedal leg units, which do not require a pilot to maintain a stationary firing stance when using cannon-based weaponry, was a factor in the carnage. The precision with which the shootings were carried out has caused some to charge that the PlayStation 2 game, from which the enraged robot is believed to have gained his expert marksmanship, is to blame. 'There's no way this robot could have learned that much about the effective attack patterns for dual shoulder-mounted plasma cannons on his own,' said XJC-46398B, bereaved mother of one of the victims. 'He had practice, either in the split-screen versus mode or in one of more than 30 separate solo mission levels.' An anonymous acquaintance said he noticed changes in the giant robot's behavior in the days leading up to the tragedy. 'He kept talking about how he was going to 'liberate Mars from the tyranny of the ruthless corporations,'' the robot said. 'Sometimes, after school, he'd go down to Malea Base and just fire off round after round of ammo, picking off unmanned Disorder Units, just like in the game. It was almost as if he had managed to convince himself that he was a character in the game himself.' Sony, maker of the PlayStation 2, denied culpability. 'You can't blame something like this on a game,' Sony spokesman Mitsuko Yamaguchi said. 'Sure, it's easy to point the finger at a convenient scapegoat, but what about the real questions: Where did this robot acquire enough credits to outfit his AC with such heavy hardware in the first place? Why didn't the AC's high-AP head unit's onboard computer facilities receive counseling before it was too late? And, of course, any time a robot goes berserk, it has to be asked: Where were the manufacturers?' The tragedy has prompted many within the giant-robot community to call for increased regulation of fighting-robot-themed video games. It is the latest in a string of controversies for the embattled entertainment industry, which is reeling from charges that the popular TV show BattleBots, in which remote-controlled robot fighters battle 'to the death' in an arena-like setting, glamorizes robot-on-robot violence.

1	A crippling idiom shortage that has left millions of Americans struggling to express themselves spread like tugboat hens throughout the U.S. mainland Tuesday in an unparalleled lingual crisis that now has the entire country six winks short of an icicle. Since beginning two weeks ago, the deficit in these vernacular phrases has affected nearly every English speaker on the continent, making it virtually impossible to communicate symbolic ideas through a series of words that do not individually share the same meaning as the group of words as a whole. In what many are calling a cast-iron piano tune unlike any on record, idiomatic expression has been devastated nationwide. Harvard's Howard Albright urges the U.S. idiom czar to release emergency replacement phrases. 'This is an absolute oyster carnival,' said Harvard University linguistics professor Dr. Howard Albright, who noted that the 2008 idiom shortage has been the country's worst. 'I don't know any other way to describe it.' Albright said that citizens in the South and West have been hit by the dearth of idioms like babies bite the bedpost, with people in those colorful expressionheavy regions unable to speak about anything related to rain storms, misers, sensations associated with nervousness, difficult or ironic predicaments, surprise at a younger relative's rapid increase in height, or love. In some areas, what few idioms remain are being bartered or sold at exorbitant prices. And, Albright claims, unless something is done before long to dry out the cinnamon jars, residents of Texas may soon cease speaking altogether. 'These people are desperate,' said Albright, gesturing with his hands to indicate the severity of the problem there. 'We've never seen anything like it. Some are being forced to choose between feeding their family and praising especially talented professional athletes. It's as ifit's reallyit is bad.' With an emergency measure to release a pepper-stack of backup idioms into everyday speech still being debated in committee, Congress has been criticized for its inability to respond to the crisis. Moreover, a number of Beltway insiders have accused members of both houses of abusing their positions to gain access to hundreds of 1920s-era idioms that have been kept in reserve for decades. 'Well, bully,' said Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY), who claimed that the Capitol was not expecting a shipment of fresh idioms for weeks. 'Americans have to collar all their jive, and take us cats at our word: Everything's copacetic, daddy-o, so don't flip your lids.' The White House has not yet issued a comment on the crisis. While it has been difficult to determine the overall mood of average Americans, anecdotal evidence points to a growing discontent that ranges from trudging down the pudding skin to outright anger. In Philadelphia, 71-year-old Melvin Hatcher said he has found himself 'egg-hooked' in conversation on a daily basis. 'These politicians want us to believe that throwing a few mud thrones at the problem is going to make it go away,' said Hatcher, a retired African-American boxing trainer and World War II veteran. 'They can make all the promises they want, but they will always remain a collection of deceitful people, if you'll pardon the expression.' Authorities said they expect the shortage to subside by April, but in the meantime, they urge citizens to skip shy the rickshaw until such time as the flypaper marigolds have a chance to waterfallwith or without a pole dragon's cottageunless the cork and the bubble-truck tumble from the mountaintop, at which point, of course, old birds could light up every tuba tent and walleyed river king from 44 to the roller coaster. 
3	Electrogravitics and My Awakening: Writing ContestAmaterasu Solar I remembered My father beaming down at me for a reason which I had no clear picture of. I remembered pestering Him for something. What it was, I did not know. I remembered Him coming home and waking Me up to tell Me something very important, but the content of His words wasnot there. I carried these enigmatic memories along with Me as I grew up and set into a career in banking. Through My experiences in that field, I developed a keen understanding of economics, and developed the understanding that all money represented was meaningful energy expended. I could see that the first farmer was not using His produce which was free to Him but the energy He put forth in tilling, planting, tending, harvesting and transporting His produce as the money He used to trade with. The energy of the first miner who pulled free ores from the earth was what gave the ores their value. And so on. Later, economists such as Jeremy Rifkin, as well as the Council on Foreign Relations, bore Me out on this. It became clear to Me that if energy was free and robots could do all the necessary work no One wanted to do, there would be no need for money with the cost of all energy removed all down the line until the resources themselves were given freely by Our abundant planet and We, Humanity, would be free to pursue Our bliss rather than train for careers, slave for the enrichment of Others, give up what We love so that We could afford to eat. Through the discovery that cannabis had no widespread issues associated with its use, and in fact, had a phenomenal list of curative elements, and comparing that to the cost of the War on (some People who use some) Drugs, I knew there were some who had motives in government beyond the betterment of Humanity and it all surrounded profit and control. Thus My trip down into the rabbit hole began. One day about two years ago, I came upon a copy of Secrets of Antigravity Propusion, by Dr. Paul A. LaViolette. Intrigued, I read it. Very early on, the company, which My father worked for as one of the top electrical engineers, was mentioned a number of times as being in the forefront of research into electrogravitics. Ding! A bell was struck. Wow. Where had I heard that before? The description of what electrogravitics could do gravity control (antigravity) and overunity (free energy) set a few more bells off. But I couldnt pin them down. About two weeks after reading, however, I was struck with a full memory in stark clarity: My father was cajoling Me, at about the age of two, to say, electrogravitics. I, being precocious and verbally advanced, said quite clearly, electrogravitics! My dad beamed down at Me and then ruffled My hair. Very GOOD! He said. In the week that followed, I had a number of additional clarifications. I realized that I often begged My dad to tell Me what My future was going to look like because of His work in electrogravitics, much as some children beg for a favorite story book to be read. He would tell Me of flying cars, floating cities, jet packs (without the jets), and all the energy We could possibly use. I also remembered what My dad said to Me when He came home that night, what that important thing was We cant talk about the flying cars or floating cities anymore. Or about all the energy. We cant even say the word, electrogravitics, because They want it secret for now. Well. Now I understood why I was so sure that overunity did exist. And I also had something concrete (if presently hidden) to offer in conjunction with the level of robotics We have today (for the first time in the history We are aware of) to eliminate the need for money and free Humanity from slavery. I also understood all the more the fact that much is hidden from Us and there are those who are trying to control Us and maintain that control. Since the time I recalled the clarity in these memories, I have been working diligently to raise awareness to the tipping point of what We can do NOW on this planet, emailing every One I can, offering articles, and starting a petition to release electrogravitics from black projects, where it has been for over 50 years (http://www.change.org/petitions/us-military-release-the-technology-of-electrogravitics). I believe that if I make a difference, the power elite will lose Their power over Us, and We will gain freedom from poverty, hunger, homelessness, oppression, class conflict, war and much more.

2	Bob Beckel Likely To Be Fired From Fox News For This Comment Fox News presenter Bob Beckel is facing massive criticism after calling Bachelorette Andi Dorfman a sl*t for sleeping with a man and not marrying him. Beckel has a reputation for being offensive, but many believe his comment was over the line. His insult was in response to Nick Viall revealing that he and Andi had made love just weeks before she got engaged to Josh Murray. Shes a sl**! he bellowed. Im not kidding you! When she sleeps with somebody else and doesnt tell the guy about it. This is what America has gone to. Although his comments received laughter from the other men on the panel, co-host Andrea Tantaros decided to snap back, claiming Are you kidding me? Excuse me, Bob. You probably sleep with a different woman every night. Beckel later made a half-hearted apology for his comment, at the insistence of Tantaros. I want to apologize for a word I used in that Bachelorette segment, that woman who slept with two guys, he said, adding, Well, maybe it was more than two I dont know. Viall made the public confession during the shows finale on Monday night, and later apologized claiming that It wasnt so much about the sex but the level of intimacy that night. He continued on to say that he made it very clear where I was in my feelings for her and what something like that meant to me. The comment received gasps from the audience, and 27-year-old Andi spoke out against the confession on Live With Kelly and Michael the next night. 
2	Thug Who Slammed 5According to reports, a man who killed his girlfriends 5-week-old baby by slamming her head into the sidewalk has just been sentence. 22-year-old Dalton R. Davis admitted to killing his girlfriends baby daughter, Lillian Grace Llyod, by slamming her head into the sidewalk multiple times. The baby was pronounced dead later that day, with head trauma and skull fractures. Davis has been sentenced to 65 years in jail, 55 of which he will not be given the possibility of bail. Lillians mother, Courtney Lloyd, called 911 on September 2015 when she found her child unconscious in her crib. Davis had reportedly been in an argument with Courtney when he walked outside with Lillian in his arms. Police believe the man grabbed the baby by her legs and slammed her head into the pavement three times, before placing an unconscious Lillian back into the crib. He later told authorities he believed the baby was dead when he put her in the crib. Courtney was asleep during the altercation, and only discovered Lillians injuries when she went to check on her. At first, Davis claimed that he had checked on the baby a half hour before she was found by her mother, and that she was fine and did not appear ill. He quickly changed his story, insisting he accidentally dropped the baby on her head. When injuries did not match up with his story, Davis admitted what he had really done. He blamed the incident on his consumption of alcohol. This man deserves the worst he can get. Do you agree? 
1	Often referred to by his superiors at the Oakland Police Department as a 'loose cannon,' Lt. Buck Roth and his unorthodox policing methods have been the subject of controversy for much of his turbulent career. But the renegade detective who acts as judge, jury, prosecuting attorney, bailiff, court reporter, and executioner maintains that his approach gets results. Roth goes over paperwork before 'stacking, bundling, and taking out the trash. 'Whatever it takes to clean up Oakland, I'll do it,' Roth said Monday. 'After all the laziness and corruption I've witnessed during my 13 years on the force, I've learned you can't trust just anyone to apprehend, arrest, fingerprint, photograph, delouse, interrogate, arraign, hear testimony from, and set bail for the low-life scumbags I deal with day after day.' Roth triggered a firestorm of controversy last Thursday when he ambushed and gunned down a suspected killer in a Bay Bridgearea warehouse, even though the suspect was not armed at the time. He further angered area law enforcement when he admitted to single-handedly securing the scene, taking fiber and DNA samples, notifying the killer's next-of-kin, and performing ballistics tests on his own weapon, all before calling for backup, which is the required procedure. Roth, who is officially assigned to the OPD's Vehicle Theft division, said that he is not a one-man corrections officer, polygraph technician, sketch artist, parole officer, SWAT team marksman, death row chaplain, and evidence room supervisor because he wants to be, but because 'the Alameda County criminal justice system has failed its citizens time and time again.' 'Am I supposed to just stand by and watch the clowns at HQ let these depraved bastards slip through the cracks?' said Roth, cleaning his service revolver as he scanned the two dozen subpoenas he personally issued and planned to serve later that afternoon. 'The whole system is rotten to the core. Not one of these detectives, assistant DAs, court clerks, process servers, or parking enforcement officers knows his ass from his elbow.' When asked whether he weighed the ethical ramifications of taking the law, and the subsequent triplicate filing, into his own hands, Roth said he doesn't 'have the time to sit back and philosophize' when public safety is at risk. 'The worst part of this job is knowing that some piece of garbage is going to be back on the streets in six months,' said Roth after sentencing a convicted methamphetamine dealer to six months in prison on a plea bargain Roth himself authored. 'And having to witness it firsthand, too, as I file his release paperwork and reissue his civilian garb to him.' Despite major qualms with the bureaucracy and red tape he creates and then has to deal with, the maverick cop is confident he is doing the right thing. 'When you prepare a cold-blooded murderer's last meal, strap him down, inject him with potassium chloride, send him straight to hell, and officiate at his burial service in the prison cemetery, you realize it's all worth it,' Roth said. According to a source within the OPD's internal affairs division, Roth's loner tactics have alienated him from virtually every colleague, and he has clashed heatedly with the heads of Narcotics, Vice, Fraud, Missing Persons, Information Technology, Records, and the Police Athletic League. 'The man is out of control,' said Lt. Larry Carling, head of the OPD's Forensic Science unit. 'Goddamn it, if I hear about another rape kit gone missing or a surprise exhumation, I'll personally order the son of a bitch to lock himself up.' As a result of the Thursday incident, Roth is now the subject of an internal investigation, headed by himself. 'We've got our best man on the case, and if he thinks Roth committed a serious infraction, Roth'll have his badge, gun, robes, gavel, stenotype, and Bible,' said Det. James Lafferty, Roth's immediate supervisor. Roth said that despite the constant resistance he runs up against, he will not be deterred from performing the many jobs he has set out to do. 'Sure, I know I'm just 17 cogs in the machine,' Roth said. 'But I'm still gonna be out on these mean streets come hell or high water, cracking heads and busting creeps. And if they kick me off the force, I'll still be a punk's worst nightmare, as a vigilante, private detective, bounty hunter, bail bondsman, and repo man all rolled into one.' 
2	French President Does THIS In Response To ISIS Terrorist Attack After Obama Does Nothing The terrorist attack that just occurred in Paris is one of the worst the world has seen in the past decade. Obama is saying that ISIS is not a threat, but French President Francois Hollande is making big moves to eliminate ISIS from the planet. In his own words, he says We are going to lead a war, it will be pitiless. He hasnt made any moves yet, but is certainly getting ready to. Obama refuses to even acknowledge ISIS as a threat. He has completely lost it. Is Obama the worst president ever?

2	Muslim Man Cuts Off First Wifes Nose For Protecting Her Daughter Time and time again, President Barack Obama has defended Islam as a religion of peace. But incidents like this tell a very different story of the religionwhich condones polygamy, domestic violence and certain forms of child abuse. Recently, a young woman was hospitalized after her husband cut off her nose. 20-year-old Reza Gul was reportedly attacked by her husband with a knife in Shar-Shar a village in the Taliban-controlled portion of the Faryab Province. Reza had been married to her husband Muhammad Khan for six years at the time. During those years of marriage, she endured regular abuse from Khan and his family members. According to Rezas mother, she was often beaten and bound in chains. This monster cut off my daughters nose, her mother told reporters. If I catch him, Ill tear him to pieces. Reza was rushed to the hospital with her severed nose, but the facility was not equipped to handle the surgery needed to reattach it. This incident is one of many that highlights the endemic violence against women in Afghanistan. What do you think? Does this sound like a religion of peace to you? 
1	WASHINGTON, DCIn the latest round of political mudslinging, both John Kerry's and George W. Bush's election committees have replaced ads that focus on their opponents' shortcomings with ads that personally insult the voting public. Politics Watch 'The Bush people initiated this volley of negative ads, but we won't be lured into a reactive campaign against the Republicans,' Kerry campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill said Monday. 'It's time to redirect the cheap name-calling away from Bush and toward those Americans who might be idiotic enough to vote for him.' A controversial 30-second TV spot for Kerry that aired throughout the Midwest Monday blamed the country's ills not on Bush's policies, but on the 'sheer stupidity' of America's voters. 'In the past four years, America's national debt has reached an all-time high,' the ad's narrator said. 'And who's responsible? You are. You're sitting there eating a big bowl of Fritos, watching TV, and getting fatter as the country goes to hell. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.' Over a series of images of America's senior citizens, the narrator of another 30-second spot says, 'The Medicare drug bill is a triumph of right-wing ideology masquerading as moderate reform. The pharmaceutical-drug and insurance industries are tickled pink. Guess who's paying for it? You. Congratulations, moron. I'm John Kerry and I approved this message.' The Bush-Cheney 2004 camp recently began airing an anti-voter ad in 20 major urban areas nationwide. 'Are you going to vote for a candidate whose campaign promises would cost America $1.9 trillion over the next decade?' the ad asks. 'Of course you aren't. You aren't going to vote at all. In the last election, half of you didn't even show up. So, on Nov. 2, just spend the day right there at your dead-end office job, talking to your coworkers about your new sweater and e-mailing your friends photos of your stupid 2-year-old daughter you shouldn't have had.' The ad concludes: 'You make me sick.' Both ad campaigns met with cries of outrage from viewers in all demographic groups, and were therefore deemed successful. 'I don't pay my taxes so some suit in Washington can get on national television and call me a clown,' said Bobbie Lee, a 35-year-old mechanic from Detroit. 'Those Kerry ads piss me off so bad. So what if my teeth are stained? So what if I do wear sweatsocks? Everyone I show the videotape to gets just as mad. Just who does Kerry think he is? Before last week, I didn't even know his name.' 'That Bush ad said that I should wake up to the fact that I'm trapped in a loveless marriage,' said 29-year-old Kathlene Richmond, an account executive from West Virginia. 'But the Republicans don't understand Larry. He's just not very communicative. You don't think the GOP is right, do you?' Based on the success of the TV ads, both campaigns have announced plans to attack voters through other media, as well. New direct-mail campaigns will solicit contributions with such slogans as 'Fork over some of your paycheck to Kerry. Or are you too cheap?' and 'One in 25 Americans donated money to a national political campaign in 2003. One in three Americans subscribed to cable television. Pathetic.' A series of Bush re-election campaign ads blasting the American public. One Bush ad specifically targets homeowners. 'Do you pay property taxes?' the ad asks. 'On that shack? Jesus, why don't you fix that place up a little bit? Have some pride. It's filthy. I don't even want to know how long it's been since you last vacuumed, much less painted. You couldn't pay George W. Bush and Dick Cheney a billion dollars to live in that dirty, disgusting, rundown rat-trap.' Although the ads have angered voters, Charles Wayne, a professor of political science at Georgetown University, called them 'a refreshing shift toward more honesty in the political process.' 'Emotionally manipulative attack ads obscure the candidates' real positions and insult the intelligence of America's voters,' Wayne said. 'The fact that the major political powers are voicing their disdain for the public shows they are no longer hiding behind empty rhetoric. I see that as a positive step.' Campaign ads containing the slogans 'Hey, dumbassKerry For President' and 'Vote Bush in November, all you stupid shitheads' are slated to appear in 50 major newspapers Friday.

'There's a lot more stuff in there than I thought,' said Bosh, who after finishing the surgery attempted to stop the bleeding by wrapping an entire roll of toilet paper around his knee. 'It probably needs all those meaty-looking ropes so it can bend. And look in this pickle jarI kind of had to use some pressure to get it started turning, but I had no idea that I could unscrew my kneecap. Pretty cool, huh?' While recovering from the significant ligament and cartilage damage, Bosh said he plans to undergo a procedure to detect early signs of colorectal cancer by shoving a digital camera up his ass. 
1	In a feat of extraordinary patience, auditory precision, and monklike concentration, 42-year-old Pat Baer interrupted his favorite TV program in order to track down and isolate a cricket in the foyer of his home Saturday evening. 'At first it sounded like it was coming from everywhere, until I realized it was near the front door,' said Baer, adding that he was able to overcome the cricket's tactic of not chirping when someone gets close to it by standing perfectly still, listening 'really hard,' and waiting for the sound to start again. 'It took a half hour of dedicated searching, but it was all worthwhile when I actually got to see the thing making the noise with its wings there.' The cricket was pronounced dead at 11:37 p.m. 
2	Americans Outraged Over What Michelle Obama Wants For Her Birthday As Michelle Obamas 50th birthday draws nearer, she has made a public announcement of what she wants for the milestone. And of course, it is sure to have Americans outraged. According to reports, the first lady told ABCs Good Morning America that as shes continued aging her definition of beauty has changed. And the new definition includes some plastic surgery. Women should have the freedom to do whatever they need to do to feel good about themselves, Michelle announced. This is just one year after Michelle was criticized for new bangs that covered the majority of her forehead, which the public believed was a reaction to a facelift. This year, Michelle claims that shed like to try some enhancement procedures, including Botox. Michelle also told reporters that she has revamped her workouts to include less weight training and more yoga. What do you think? Is it classless for the first lady to be going on about all the plastic surgery she wants? 
3	9 Dead In Suspected Terror Attack Shooting Spree In Munich, GermanyBy Brandon Turbeville The attack took place on Friday at the Olympia Mall where as many as three gunmen entered the shopping center and opened fire at passersby apparently at random. As The Washington Post reports: An employee inside the mall, who would give only her first name, Sabiha, said she saw a gunman open fire outside her clothing store. The assailant described as about 6-foot-1 and wearing a black shirt and some kind of vest moved through the corridors before leaving the building, Sabiha told The Washington Post. Sabiha said she saw at least two people killed and one injured. I was lucky because he shot toward the other directions, not mine, she said, speaking from a hiding spot inside a storage room in the store. A video clip posted on Twitter showed a gunman opening fire outside a McDonalds near the shopping complex as people dashed for cover. The man appeared to fire on passersby with a handgun, seemingly at random. A police statement sent by Twitter urged people near the site to remain in their homes. A similar announcement was issued by the U.S. Consulate in Munich, which reported shots fired at multiple locations in Munich. It advised U.S. citizens to shelter in place pending police announcements that the situation is under control. At this point, German authorities are not saying whether they believe the attack to be of the Islamic fundamentalist variety but they are keeping the possibility open. Not only that but they are stating that there is the possibility that this attack was carried out by right wing extremists who are upset over Germanys immigration policies. Munich police have declared the situation an acute terrorist situation. Still, there are now suggestions coming from German and international mainstream media outlets that the attack was of the right wing extremist variety due to a statement allegedly made by one of the shooters where he says, I am a German. Of course, the shooter may well have been a native right wing German or he may also have been a second generation Muslim immigrant. He may also have been a combination of the two with aggravating mental issues. At this point, we simply dont know. However, Sky News has released a transcript of the dialogue between the shooter and a man on balcony. The transcript is as follows: Balcony Man: You f****** a****** you Shooter: Because of you I [unintelligible] Balcony Man: You *** you. youre a ****. Shooter: and now I have to buy a gun to shoot you. Balcony Man: a gun f*** off your head isnt on right. Shooter and Balcony Man shouting at each other. Balcony Man apparently to people filming: Hes got a gun here the guy has one. Balcony Man: F****** foreigners. Balcony Man to someone else : Ey! Hes got a gun. He has loaded his gun! Get the cops here! Shooter: I am German. Balcony Man: Youre a **** is what you are. Shooter: Stop filming! Balcony Man: A **** is what you are, what the f*** are you doing? Shooter: Yeah what, I was born here! Balcony Man: Yeah and what the f*** you think youre doing? Shooter: I grew up here in the Hartz 4 (unemployment benefits in Germany) area. Balcony Man and Shooter talk at same time (unintelligible). Shooter says something about Behandlung which means treatment. Balcony Man says something like, Yeah treatment is something for you. Shooter: I havent done anything here for [unintelligible]. Just shut your f****** face man. Balcony Man: You **** you. Balcony Man: Hey! Hes on the upper floor here [unintelligible]. Filming man goes into cover, shooter starts firing. Balcony Man calls him a **** again. Balcony Man shouts something at him about shooting here and shooter replies multiple times, Yeah, thats where youre right! Yeah youre right with that! Yeah youre right! Video taken from the attack has also been posted by RT which can be viewed here. Other reports have witnesses saying that the shooter screamed Allahu Akbar! If the attack was indeed motivated by a hatred of refugees and immigrants it seems a strange method of expressing it by shooting other Germans as opposed to the population of people that is the target of hatred. Likewise, screaming Allahu Akbar! is a bit out of character for a right winger in Germany. It should be noted also that, as the shooter and the man on the balcony argue, the balcony man says fucking foreigners as an insult to the shooter suggesting that the shooter appeared to look like something other than an ethnic German. The shooter then replies that he is German was born in the Hartz 4 area ( a reference to Germanys Hartz 4 unemployment system that artificially deflates real unemployment numbers and forces many workers to work for private companies in order to receive unemployment benefits). Still, we must be clear that, at this point, this situation is still developing. We will continue to monitor the crisis as it unfolds. The attacks in Munich come on the heels of the attack in Nice, another instance in which questions surround the event pointing to both the possibility of a false flag event, terrorist act, or an actual act of random psychologically induced violence.

Oh wait, I think they did already. Oops. Suppose we all loved each other as deeply as we now love the one whom we love best. The most natural desire of love is to share what one has with the beloved. The desire to share with everyone would produce a condition in which it would be a disgrace, rather than an honor, for anyone to possess more than anyone else. your trolling effort is reaching the wrong group of people, as always . At least he seems to have good intentions, drbhelthi ;-), much better fit than neofeudal Marxist and Harvard poli sci alum Dale R who seems to have had his fill of disinfo waltzing with us, or the well paid Russian trolls Arlene and JosephC (who make more than Russian tenured professors, and at least one of the two, ironically, appears to work for a Russian Zionist oligarch) and CIA lackeys. Welcome to the Twilight Zone! Surreal and often humorous in a Dilbert-esque way. P.S. Hope youre safe and well in Deutschland. Regards, blue. Thank you, blu ! You know, drbelthi, in 2011 I was thrilled to read about the German Wutbrger movement and around the same time in the US some very awake people were passionate about dismantling the isms and ocracies, many were working with the Tea Party activists. Sounds like the Wutbrgers were as quickly co-opted as the Tea Party. What a shame. The birthplace of my grandparents, Norway, has also been culturally subverted from what Ive read. It seems our culture of individual empowerment is being methodically erased off the planet. It always gets back to the dumbing down, doesnt it? Yes, I have AC, although, it is a high plains desert, the altitude brings down the temps at night, no humidity makes a big difference too. I can always escape to the mountains, an hour away and 20+ degrees cooler. Dumbing down. Internationally known neurosurgeon, Russell Blaylock has made numerous videos about the dumbing down of society. You probably have seen the video on youtube. Searching on the phrase, Aspartame, MSG, Dumbing Down Society pulls up a video and a related list of videos. I suspect you are acquainted with the list. Bestest. Thank you, yes, I have and have been a fan of Blaylock for a long time. We swim in a toxic soup and are routinely assaulted! Theres the aluminum factor too from geoengineering and vaccinations. In my 20s, I worked with a research team that found picomolar and nanomolar concentrations of lead strongly damaged neurons. I also did a fair amount of research on Alzheimers. It doesnt take much to reek havoc. I also appreciate the perspectives shared by Charlotte Iserbyte and John Taylor Gatto. The latter made a brilliant case for the infantilization of society in a long interview with Richard Grove of Tragedy and Hope a nexus of history, philosophy, and social engineering discussed in a very erudite manner. Its on youtube, TH, and Gattos website. The greatest need of humanity today is love love divine, which is pure and selfless, which awakens man to the proper sense and understanding of his real duty in life, which is to find true happiness in giving, not in receiving; in serving, and not in being served; and in willfully participating in the sufferings of others more than in their happiness. Nice thoughts. History reveals that, while humanity talks about divine love, humanity is incapable of divine love. Historically, the leaders of humanity have practiced the motto of Judaism and its spy organization, MOSSAD: By way of deception thou shalt do war. This deception is prominent throughout the Western and Middle-Eastern areas of the world. uhh lets see the world should ban, guns, knives, axes, trucks gee what will the next false flag bring forth. Mossad Agent Richard Gutjahr BUSTED!! Filmed Nice Hoax and Munich Hoax! Wiped Twitter! check the video out The cause of the attacks on Germany is because of Mutti Merkels darling , beloved Muslim Vermin. Three gunmen? The German media are reporting a lone wolf German man with an Iranian background. Exactly, kick the quislings out of office as was done in Colorado but this time do a THOROUGH house cleaning. You also gotta wonder if people are being sprayed with crap in the chemtrails thats putting them more psychologically on edge, maybe deliberate shades of the movie Kingsman The Secret Service. Sirhan Sirhan showed us what mind control programming can accomplish, he had always been known to be a nonviolent pacifist type, wouldnt even hurt a fly in the house, literally. 
1	In a rare show of selflessness not often seen in sports, Norwegian Olympic steeplechase competitor Kristine Engeset told reporters Monday that she has turned down the four-year, $50 million offer from the New York WaterJumpsthe National Woman's Steeplechase League's most elite teamin order to retain her amateur status and participate in the Beijing Olympics. 'Yes, the NWSL offers national exposure, you get to travel to over 30 different cities in the United States and Canada, and you make the big money, but for me, the chance to represent your country is the ultimate privilege,' said Engeset after a midday workout consisting of two hours of barrier jumping. 'I told myself, the money for good steeplechasers will always be there, but the Olympics is the Olympics.' According to NWSL's commissioner David Sizemore, Engeset may have another chance to participate in the Games if she turns pro in America, as there is strong national interest in sending a dream team of professional steeplechasers to London in 2012.

Nearly a decade ago, Rosie started attacking Trump fairly regularly on live television. When she found out Trump was running for president, she panicked. The feud has made its way into the campaign, and Trump addressed them this week. I said very tough things to her, Trump admitted. And I think everybody would agree that she deserves it, and nobody feels sorry for her. Rosie insisted that she was not watching the debate, but still made pathetic attempts to fire back at Trump. HE WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT, she tweeted. She even referred to Trump as orange anus. Rosie (@Rosie) September 27, 2016 Trump has not yet responded to this tweet. What do you think of Rosies actions?

1	After living with roommates for the better part of a decade, local woman Anne Lazar announced Tuesday she was excited to finally experience the overwhelming loneliness of having her own apartment. Lazar, 31, said that while she had few serious complaints about the people with whom she had shared housing over the years, there was simply no substitute for the unrelenting sense of isolation that only a private space can provide. 'I couldn't be more thrilled,' said Lazar, who moved into her new single-bedroom apartment three days ago. 'There comes a point when you're ready to move on and feel utterly cut off from society, and you just can't get that without a living room of your own. Now I'll have the couch all to myself and can watch Parks and Recreation with only my solitary, slightly forced laughter echoing off the walls. You can't beat that.' 'Sure, I'm spending a little more on rent,' Lazar added. 'But what I'll be repaid in those moments of desperately wishing a friend would call or e-mail or do pretty much anything to momentarily take me out of my own head will be priceless.' While Lazar acknowledged her new living situation would likely take some adjustment, she told reporters it wouldn't be long before she'd be happily lying awake at night wishing she at least had a pet to keep her company. 'I'll probably feel little or no dread at all during these first few weeks,' Lazar said. 'I might ask myself if this was such a good idea and if I'll ever grow morbidly starved for companionship. But if I stick with it, I know it'll only be a matter of time before I can't even iron a blouse without a podcast playing in the background just so I can hear the sound of other human beings interacting.' 'Honestly, I can't believe I waited so long to do this,' Lazar added. 'Even the best roommates in the world can't match the eerie feeling that comes from sitting in your own place and wondering how long it would take for anyone to find your body if you had a heart attack and dropped dead.' At press time, Lazar confirmed that she was settling in better than expected and that there was nothing quite like suddenly bursting into tears at a kitchen table with only one place setting. 
1	Claiming the extracurricular activity has brought out a side of their son theyve never seen before, the parents of local student Dylan Martel told reporters Monday that the high school senior has shown tremendous dedication ever since he began hazing others on the football team. Ive always said that Dylan just needed to apply himself to succeed, and thats exactly what he started doing when he took up football hazing this yearit seems to have sparked a real passion inside him, said mother Caroline Martel, who expressed amazement at her sons discipline in staying late after school each day to force younger teammates to shave their heads, shower in freezing cold water, and then run laps around the field in their underwear and shoulder pads. We never thought Dylan would put in the effort required for an activity like making every rookie on the varsity team strip naked in the locker room so they could be assaulted by upperclassmen, but football hazing has really changed him. Hes just a happier, more confident person now. Martels parents added that while they didnt necessarily see their son continuing on with football hazing in college, they had no doubt the lessons he has learned about how to interact with others would stay with him for the rest of his life. 
2	VIDEO: Workers Found This Extremely Bloated Python. When They Cut It Open, They Found THIS... Pythons can swallow almost anything. ALMOST. They can swallow small things like mice, bigger things like rats, slightly bigger rodents like squirrels and rabbits and even cats. In some terrible situations, pythons have been known to swallow human children. But recently, a python bit off more than it could chew, and it cost the snake his life. A 13 foot long python had the wrong animal for a meal the other day, when it tried to eat a 30 pound porcupine. Incredibly, the snake did manage to get the porcupine all the way down its throat and even into its digestive system. But in the end, it was the porcupine who came out victorious. The would-be crunchy snack embedded hundreds of its quills on the inside of the snakes skin, resulting in a hundreds of small wounds all over the snake. Jennifer Fuller, general manager at Lake Eland Game Reserve came out with a statement about the dead snake saying, The exact reasons for the snakes death are not clear. It is apparent that several porcupine quills were lodged inside the digestive tract. It had fallen off the rocky ledge. We dont know if it died beforehand or whether the fall drove some of the quills into its digestive tract. It appeared that the quills totally ruined the pythons digestive system, caused massive internal bleeding, and ultimately killed it. 
2	He Found This Baby Animal On The Sidewalk Dying. What It Turns Out To Be After Hes Nursed It Back To Health? AMAZING Jeff Longo is an animal lover. No matter what kind, he respects and cherishes all life forms as being part of the infinite variety of Gods creation. So when, just the other day, Jeff discovered a tiny baby on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida, he wanted to do everything he could to save it. But the veterinarians deemed it a lost cause; they said that the tiny animal was not long for this world. But Jeff was determined. He took the tiny animal home, and with a little love, he was able to keep it alive. Then, something unexpected happened. As the animal grew and developed, an amazing friendship blossomed. What Jeff originally thought was a normal, squirrel pup, was actually a southern flying squirrel! He posted pictures on the Internet asking how to best nurse the little squirrel baby back to health, but received nothing but negative responses and discouragement. I posted pictures on Reddit that day and had a bunch of know-it-alls tell me she would die, because I am not an animal rehabber, Longo wrote. But he worked, and developed a food, made from a blend of puppy formula and heavy cream, and within two months, the baby squirrel was thriving. Naming it Biscuits, Jeff and the baby squirrel are now inseparable, and he is even able to let the squirrel out of its cage to fly around and explore. Check out the pics below; how cute is Biscuits?

3	Florida Officials Want to Kick Man Off Uninhabitable Land He OwnsLily Dane Mike McKee bought the half-acre of land in Daytona Beach for $700 in 2011. He cannot build on the land because it is considered wasteland. Officials believe he is trying to live on the land because he has tables and a makeshift sleeping area. Officials told WESH 2 News that they have been citing McKee for over a year now because the property is not build-able for several reasons. McKee keeps bringing items to the land, and officials keep visiting him. They claim McKee has been resistant and belligerent during past visits, but when WESH 2 visited with code enforcement a few days ago, he was cooperative: The codes that McKee allegedly violated have not been publicized. Perhaps he is just trying to enjoy the land he lawfully purchased and is not actually trying to build on the property. 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! 
2	Mother Has Incredible Message For Sons Teacher Over Lesson About Islam Tara Cali was shocked when she opened her sons history textbook and saw that he was studying Islam. In fact, the worksheet he was assigned to complete asked students to list to Pillars of Islam and give examples of Islamic Beliefs and Practices. As if that werent enough, students were given the option to scan a QR code with their cell phones and hear an actual Muslim call to prayer. Cali didnt let her son complete the lesson. Instead, she wrote a letter to his teacher on the worksheet. My son will not be a part of this in any sort of way, Cali wrote. This is bad teaching material. He will NOT partake. Cali later uploaded the worksheet to her Facebook page, sparking a heated debate among users. If you have a problem with it, call our lawyer, Cali concluded. What do you think? Do you support Cali for standing up for what she believes? 
3	University Police Departments Use Secret Cell Phone Detectors To Spy On Students And FacultyBy MassPrivateI How did the police, track a stolen cell phone to a specific classroom, you ask? Police across the country areusing cell phone detectors, likethe Wolfhound-PRO or the PocketHound that cantrack cell phones from 150 feet away indoors and up toone mile outdoors (line-of-sight). Wolfhound and PocketHound are so secret, police dont want you to know about them. We cant disclose any legal requirements associated with the use of this equipment, Elise Armacost, Baltimore County Police spokeswoman told the Wall Street Journal. (Source) An article in the Daily Texandescribes how the University of Texas Police useadvanced tracking tactics to track cell phonesbut declined toreveal what they are. Theyalso claimed, to have the abilityto locate a cell phoneeven if its dead. (Click here to find out more.) As youll see, advanced tracking tactics is justa euphemismfor cell phone detectors. And police across the countrywill go togreat lengths, to keeptheir usagea secret. Keep in mind, cell phone detectors track everyones cell phone signal. Police asked a judge, to stop a public defense attorney from asking how the police knew her client was carrying a stolen cell phone. Montgomery County also invoked executive privilege to withhold records, citing sensitive information pertinent to matters of national security. (Source) ACLU exposespolice lies Thats something that law enforcement has to account for, that theyre putting secrecy ahead of public safety, said the ACLUs David Rocah. You cannot say that these things are critical to public safety and then sell out public safety in the same breath.

BVSs WolfHound can identifyevery cellphone by its frequency (not phone number or IMEI). BVSboasts about how the PocketHound isperfect for cheating students, and their sales video boasts about schools and universities across the country using their surveillance products. Currently, there are thirty-three universities using cell phone detectors. In other words, there are thirty-three university police departments using them Its uncertain if the University of Illinois police used a cell phone detector to locatethe stolen cell phone, becausethey wont talk about it. If university police really want to be sneaky, they can purchaseBVSs covert continuous cell phone scanning device called the WatchHound for$1,400.

3	A Single Memes Message on Hemp Plastic Was So Powerful, It Sparked an Internet RevolutionBy Claire Bernish Oil based plastics are destroying the environment, the meme originally posted to Facebook states, asking, Why not hemp plastics? They are both biodegradable and non-toxic. Pictured at the top are marine animals tangled in plastic waste, while the bottom image shows a time-lapsed progression of a hemp plastic bottle in states of decay complete in just 80 days. Apparently, the memes message so impacted social media, well over 350,000 people shared it from its original place on End the Drug War more than twice the total followers on that page. Other large Facebook pages also shared the meme, sometimes in an abbreviated format and each of those pages garnered similar interest, resulting in thousands more shares. But the true magic of spreading awareness the foundation of all activism could be seen on Google trends with a sudden astronomical spike in searches for hemp plastic beginning on the date the meme hit social media (top image). In just one dynamic image, a seed of awareness about a viable alternative to petroleum-based plastics found roots in the minds of hundreds of thousands and with those roots, vast potential for change. And that awareness couldnt come too soon. Plastic refuse so chokes the worlds oceans, a recent report predicts more of it will occupy space in the sea than fish, by as early as 2050. Every year, at least 8 million tons of discarded plastic winds up in the ocean. A full garbage trucks worth of plastic is jettisoned into the ocean every minute. However, according to the report, If no action is taken, this is expected to increase to two per minute by 2030 and four per minute by 2050 [] In a business-as-usual scenario, the ocean is expected to contain 1 tonne of plastic for every 3 tonnes of fish by 2025, and by 2050, more plastics than fish (by weight). At present, plastics account for around 6 percent of global oil consumption the same rate as oil consumed by the entire planets aviation industry. However, by 2050, If the current strong growth of plastics usage continues as expected, the plastics sector will account for 20% of total oil consumption. Plastic waste in the oceans tragically ensnares or is consumed by wildlife in telling quantities. A September 2015 report by Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) in conjunction with Imperial College London found nearly 60 percent of all seabird species have plastic in their gut but by 2050, that number could jump to 99 percent. Indeed, The scientists estimate that 90 percent of all seabirds alive today have eaten plastic of some kind. While plastic doesnt biodegrade, exposure to sunlight causes it to break down into smaller pieces easily ingested by marine and aquatic animals. Further disintegration of larger fragments results in smaller particles known as micro-plastic, which can be ingested by a greater range of species, including those lower on the food chain. Any toxins absorbed by the micro-plastic thus make their way back up the food chain to be consumed by larger animals and humans. Considering Americans throw out 2.5 million plastic bottles every, single hour, while recycling only 13 percent of plastic waste, its no wonder marine and other wildlife bear the brunt of our convenience. But simply increasing the rate at which we recycle plastic amounts to little more than a superficial fix and the recycling industry has taken a serious hit with consistently dropping oil prices. Though recycling might be somewhat romanticized as an altruistic venture by people who feel relegating plastic waste to a separate bin means acting responsibly, the fact remains, recycling is a business like any other. In order to function, revenue must cover costs and right now, low oil prices have forced many to shutter operations. Fortunately, exactly as the viral meme suggests, an alternative to petroleum-based plastic already exists in the dynamically versatile hemp plant. Industrial hemp is grown in abundance in many parts of the world and produces the strongest natural fiber known to man. Hemp as a raw material is one of the most useful plants on our planet with thousands of applications including a viable plastic material, one of many sources touting the benefits of hemp plastic explains. Hemp plastic is a bioplastic made using industrial hemp. There are many different types of hemp plastic; from standard plastics reinforced with hemp fibers, to a 100% hemp plastic made entirely from the hemp plant. Hemp plastic is recyclable and can be manufactured to be 100% biodegradable. Plastic manufactured with hemp could drastically curtail the destruction of our oceans and the impact wrought by the manufacture and careless disposal of petroleum-based plastics over prior decades. Hemp plastic could replace its toxic predecessor in every application imaginable from phone chargers, lamps, and electrical sockets, to industrial construction components, railways, and toys. In 2014, LEGO executives even announced a plan to abandon toxic petroleum plastics in favor of an as-yet undetermined sustainable resin by 2030 which sparked conjecture hemp plastic LEGO bricks could be on the horizon. But before a major push for such sweeping changes to an ubiquitous industry, people must be made aware of the extent of the problem and that the solution isnt merely wishful thinking. And sometimes, the path to implementing meaningful change begins with something as humble as a meme. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. It took 30 to 40 years for when this knowledge became apparent in the magic psychedelic 1960s to finally surface againwhen DuPont lobbied with huge congressional bribes to outlaw natural hemp while the Oil Cartel raped the planetIve lived on the west coast most of my life have seen for myself as to the cartels abject greed socio/psychopathic venal arrogance of the 0.01% have done to the planet wildlife all of us inclusive. GERMANY IS ALREADY DOING BIO DEGRADEABLE, AMERICA DOES NOT WANT THIS, IT WANTS YOU TO DIE SOON FROM TOXIC POISONS, Germany wants immigrants to kill Germans.. Im all for hemp products and kicking the petroleum industry off the planet but a bottle that quickly start pissing liquids just do not make sense to me. This is just the beginning. Hemp will save the planet and cannibis will save the humans, thc/cbd are in love with our dna. 
1	Players and executives with the 16-11 Royals filed a grievance with MLB officials Tuesday after they could not find themselves anywhere in the league's official standings. 'We looked in all the usual places: third place, fourth place, even fifth place, and we didn't see our name anywhere,' said Royals GM Dayton Moore, who added that he even peeked at the AL West standings to see if perhaps the team had been moved to a different division. 'I could have sworn we'd been playing really well this year. Why would Commissioner Selig try to hide us? Did we do something wrong? Let me see that paper again.' Moore explained that he and everyone in the front office were 'very curious' to see Kansas City's other baseball team, which is currently in first place. 
3	22 Facts That Prove That The Bottom 90 Percent Of America Is Systematically Getting PoorerMichael Snyder The United States is supposed to be a land of opportunity with a vibrant free market system that enables average people to make better lives for themselves. Unfortunately, free enterprise is being strangled to death in the United States today. Entrepreneurs and small businesses are being pounded into oblivion by rules, regulations, red tape and oppressive levels of taxation. At the same time, millions of jobs have been shipped out of the United States by corporate giants and sent to countries where it is legal to pay slave labor wages. All of this has happened under both Democrats and Republicans. Meanwhile, wealth and power continue to become even more heavily concentrated in the hands of big government and big corporations. Our founding fathers warned that we should not allow such large concentrations of wealth and power, because they tend to funnel the rewards of society into the hands of a select few. We need to change the rules of the game so that entrepreneurs, small businesses and average workers can thrive in this country once again. If big government and big corporations continue to gobble up even more wealth and power, the wealth inequality that we see right now will only get even worse. The following are 22 facts that prove that the bottom 90 percent of America is systematically getting poorer #1 According to the Pew Research Center, the top 7 percent of all U.S. households own 63 percent of all the wealth in the country. #2 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. #4 In the United States today, the wealthiest one percent of all Americans have a greater net worth than the bottom 90 percent combined. #5 According to the Economic Policy Institute, the wealthiest one percent of all American households have 288 times the amount of wealth that the average middle class American family does on average. #6 According to Forbes, the 400 wealthiest Americans have more wealth than the bottom 150 million Americans combined. #7 The six heirs of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton have as much wealth as the bottom one-third of all Americans combined. #8 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the middle class is taking home a smaller share of the overall income pie than has ever been recorded before. #9 In the United States today, corporate profits as a percentage of GDP are at an all-time high, but wages as a percentage of GDP are at an all-time low. #10 In 1980, CEOs at SP 500 companies made 42 times as much as their employees did on average. Today, CEOs at SP 500 companies make 354 times as much as their employees do on average. In fact, there are many CEOs that make more than 1000 times what the average employees in their companies make. #11 According to a report recently issued by the Pew Research Center, Americans over the age of 65 have 47 times as much wealth as Americans under the age of 35 on average. #12 U.S. families that have a head of household that is under the age of 30 have a poverty rate of 37 percent. #13 Back in 2007, about 28 percent of all working families were considered to be among the working poor. Today, that number is up to 32 percent even though our politicians tell us that the economy is supposedly recovering. #14 At this point, one out of every four American workers has a job that pays $10 an hour or less. #15 Today, the United States actually has a higher percentage of workers doing low wage work than any other major industrialized nation does. #16 The U.S. economy continues to trade good paying jobs for low paying jobs. 60 percent of the jobs lost during the last recession were mid-wage jobs, but 58 percent of the jobs created since then have been low wage jobs. #17 As I mentioned yesterday, the homeownership rate in America is now at its lowest level in nearly 18 years. #18 The United States now ranks 93rd in the world in income equality. #19 Approximately one out of every five households in the United States is now on food stamps. #20 The number of Americans on food stamps has grown from 17 million in the year 2000 to more than 47 million today. #21 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 146 million Americans are either poor or low income. #22 At this point, the poorest 50 percent of all Americans collectively own just 2.5% of all the wealth in the United States. Even if your income just stays the same, you are still getting poorer because inflation is a tax that is constantly chipping away at the value of every single dollar that you own. The cost of everything that we buy on a regular basis (food, gas, health insurance, etc.) is constantly going up, and if your income is not keeping pace that means that you are getting poorer. That is just one reason why the Federal Reserve system is so insidious. They are killing the middle class with inflation. For much more on the Federal Reserve and why it should be abolished, please see this article: 10 Things That Every American Should Know About The Federal Reserve. So if most Americans are getting poorer, then why arent our politicians doing something to fix it? Well, the sad truth of the matter is that the big corporations fund the campaigns of our corrupt politicians. They know that the candidate that raises the most money almost always wins, and so it provides an incentive for our politicians to be very good to those that have the money. Plus, many of our politicians are way too busy having a good time to be bothered with doing anything for us. Take Barack Obama for example. According to The Telegraph, Barack Obama has spent twice as much time playing golf and vacationing as he has on attending economic meetings In an analysis of the presidential diary and newspaper reports, the Government Accountability Institute found that Mr Obama has spent 976 hours since his January 2009 election on holiday and playing golf. In contrast, he has only spent 474.4 hours in economic meetings. But this is a problem that is not going away. The bottom 90 percent of the country is systematically getting poorer, and if this continues it will inevitably result in massive social problems.

1	In what is being advertised as a bombshell cultural event certain to spark a storm of controversy nationwide, publisher HarperCollins has released this week President Barack Obama's long-awaited new tell-all book about America. Obama says his book offers a juicy, insider's glimpse into the 'real' United States of America. In the 800-page volume, titled O Say Have I Seen: The Real Truth Behind The Red, White, And Blue, the president renders in explicit detail numerous shocking revelations about the United States, including its inability to manage its finances, its struggles with oil addiction, its willful ignorance of the issues that affect it most deeply, and its frequent battles with obesity. 'Anyone with even a passing interest in the nation is going to want to read all the juicy tidbits the president offers up here,' publicist Armand Neal said of the book that draws from Obama's firsthand experiences as well as candid conversations with millions of U.S. insiders. 'Nobody has had as much firsthand access to America's demons as the president, and he dishes dirt on everything from the nation's self-destructive, codependent relationship with the pharmaceutical industry to its habit of repeatedly borrowing and spending its way into massive amounts of debt. I promise you, he spills everythingeverythingabout the United States.' The gossipy new account, reportedly the culmination of more than three years of intensive research into the country's checkered past and recent shortcomings, has been described by Obama as 'a story [he] had to tell,' because he was the only person who knew the full extent of the American people's problems. Despite significant interest from readers and booksellers, many critics have admonished the president for exploiting and sensationalizing America's failings in order to increase sales. Writing that Obama appeared to have 'drawn heavily from the rumor mills,' Janet Maslin of The New York Times alleged many of the book's claims, such as the accusation that the American people 'continually vote against their own interests in national and local elections,' relied largely on unsubstantiated hearsay and conjecture. Additionally, many reviewers have questioned the veracity of Obama's provocative and much publicized claim that the nation has been violently mistreating the environment for years. 'I thought I knew everything there was to know about America when I started here. Boy, was I wrong,' Obama writes in the book's opening paragraph. 'It quickly became clear to me that this nation had issues, major issues. While America may appear strong and confident on the outside, the reality is much different. The things I've seenthe greed, the excess, the unbelievable vanity of the United States despite its shrinking reputation around the globewould make most people think twice about referring to America as the greatest country in the world.' Having garnered significant media attention with its controversial content, O Say Have I Seen has topped Amazon.com's preorder list for several weeks and appears to have piqued the curiosity of those with a casual interest in the nation and hardcore America enthusiasts alike. 'You think you know a country and then you read something like this,' said 44-year-old bank teller Rebecca Pelkey of Augusta, ME, who claimed to have been a longtime admirer of America before reading Obama's shocking book. 'I knew the U.S. wasn't perfect, but I had no idea just how shallow and dysfunctional it really is. And some of the sordid details about how America has treated minorities over the years were almost too incredible to believe.' 'I'll never be able to look at America the same way again,' Pelkey added. Thus far, the president has drawn strong condemnation from those who believe they've been mischaracterized in the book, including former Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis, the Supreme Court, pharmacist Charles Kostopoulos of Seattle, the Defense Department, and the entire DallasFort Worth metroplex, to which Obama devotes an entire chapter, writing in lurid detail about the Texas city's brazen egos, pathological obsession with conspicuous consumption, and refusal to accept any viewpoints other than its own. While several vocal detractors have openly accused Obama of 'shameless self-promotion,' claiming the book is nothing more than a publicity stunt to keep his name in the media and boost what they described as his 'floundering career,' the president has asserted he has 'no personal agenda' and his sole impetus for publishing the work is to 'set the record straight' about the United States. 'I've held this inside me for quite a while, and I think now's the time for it to come outfor people to know the truth about this country,' Obama said on Face The Nation Sunday. 'I'm just telling it like it is, and if Americans are offended by what I have to say, well, they don't have to purchase the book.' 'But I just had to get this off my chest,' Obama added. 'Not least of all because I wanted to finally confess that I myself was routinely abused by America for years.' 
1	After spending a full minute holding the bracelet next to a small white bear hugging a jar of Hershey's kisses, James Mendez ultimately selected the $9.89 Rite Aid jewelry item as a Valentine's Day gift for wife Sheila Mendez on Friday. Although he originally entered the drug store to buy saline solution, the 46-year-old bank manager was reminded of the fast-approaching holiday by a display shelf of red and pink candy, and decided to treat his wife to the 14-karat yellow-tone rope-chain bracelet he spotted near the reading glasses. 'We're going to be painting the basement tomorrow, so I probably won't get a chance to run out,' said Mendez, who opted not to further decorate the gift after he was unable to find bows not sold in bulk. 'What woman doesn't like gold?' At press time, it was not clear how the bracelet would affect Mrs. Mendez's plan to lie lifelessly through the couple's semiannual lovemaking session. 
3	Senate Bill Would Force Gun Owners to Buy Smart GunsBy Joshua Krause Infusing a handgun with this smart technology would allow the weapon to only be used by the authorized owner. They typically operate with either fingerprinting technology, password recognition, or by being in range of an electronic bracelet or ring. The bill would ban the manufacture of any handgun in the United States that is not personalized within 5 years, and would give an additional 5 years time to retrofit any older handguns with the technology before they are sold. Gun activists are sure to see this as an underhanded attempt restrict gun ownership by making these weapons too expensive to own. Currently, one of the few smart guns on the market today is a .22 that costs $1,800. It also opens the door to placing micro stamps, tracking devices, and other electronic controls in new firearms. Perhaps someday, your gun will be much like your car. The authorities will be able to turn it off remotely.

3	Anti-Monsanto ActivismStephen Lendman GMO foods and ingredients are toxic. Theyre unsafe to eat. Theyre hazardous to human health. They should be banned. Monsantos the leading producer. GMOs poison people for profit. Independent studies explain. Agribusiness giants want all animal and vegetable life forms patented. They want worldwide food control. Getting it means everything produced for human consumption wont be safe to eat. Last May, tens of thousands of people marched against Monsanto. They did so in dozens of countries worldwide. They want consumer protections enacted. They want safe food to eat. They want governments assuring it. They want GMO foods and ingredients labeled. Ideally they want them banned. Former Monsanto executives run the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). An obvious conflict of interest exists. Independent FDA scientists warned repeatedly. GMO foods and ingredients have harmful side effects. They compromise human health. Sheep, buffalo and goats in India died after grazing on Bt cotton plants. Mice eating GMO corn had fewer, smaller babies. Over half the newborns of mother rats fed GMO soy died in three weeks. Testicle cells of mice and rats on GMO soy change significantly. After GMO soy was introduced in Britain, allergies increased by 50%. Stomach linings of rats fed GMO potatoes showed excessive cell growth. Doing so risks cancer. Animals fed GMO foods showed organ lesions, altered liver and pancreas cells, changed enzyme levels, and other disturbing mutations. New drugs require safety evaluations. GMO foods undergo no human clinical trials. The only published human feeding experiment was disturbing. It showed consumed GMO genetic material continues functioning intestinally. Doing so risks super diseases. Theyre resistant to antibiotics. If the gene creating GMO corn Bt-toxin transfers, intestinal bacteria could become living pesticide factories. Recent studies show GMO corn damages liver and kidneys. Monsantos Roundup herbicide causes birth defects. GMO soy consumption risks sterility. Everyone deserves safe foods and ingredients. October 12 is March Against Monsanto day. Millions in over 50 countries are participating. An MAM press release states: Millions once again are marching. Theyre calling for the permanent boycott of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and other harmful agro-chemicals. Currently, marches will occur on six continents, in 52 countries, with events in over 400 cities. In the US, solidarity marches are slated (for) 47 states. MAM lists global events. US ones are ongoing in dozens of large and small cities nationwide. So are Canadian marches. Get out and join one. Tami Monroe Canal founded MAM. She did so to protect her two daughters, saying: Monsantos predatory business and corporate agricultural practices threatens their generations health, fertility and longevity. MAM supports a sustainable food production system. We must act now to stop GMOs and harmful pesticides. GMO foods and ingredients harm human health. Long-term, independent, peer-reviewed studies werent conducted before introducing them for human and animal consumption. In America, Monsanto executives control FDA and EPA policy. Millions were spent obstructing labeling attempts. Adverse research results are suppressed. Monsanto Protection Act legislation circumvents judicial decisions. If courts rule GMOs unsafe, Monsantos free to ignore them. So is the Secretary of Agriculture. The law permits continued cultivation, commercialization, and other specifically enumerated activities. It does so regardless of potential harm to human health. Scientifically established risks include (but arent limited to) organ damage, sterility, infant mortality, birth defects, auto-immune conditions, allergies and susceptibility to cancer. Despite partially or entirely banning GMOs in 10 European countries, Japan and elsewhere, factory farm animals globally consume them. Biotechnology isnt the answer to world hunger. GMOs cause soil infertility, mono-cropping, loss of biodiversity, habitat destruction, and beehives collapsing. A 2003 Case for A GM-Free Sustainable World said: (1) GMOs failed to deliver promised benefits. (2) They pose escalating farm problems. (3) Theyre responsible for extensive transgenic contamination. (4) Theyre unsafe to eat. (5) GM food raises serious safety concerns. (6) Dangerous gene products are incorporated into crops. (7) Terminator crops spread male sterility. (8) Broad-spectrum herbicides (are) highly toxic to humans and other species. (9) Genetic engineering creates super-viruses. (10) Transgenic DNA in food ends up in soil bacteria and human intestines. (11) Transgenic DNA is linked to cancer. (12) The CaMV 35S promoter (is prone to) horizontal gene transfer and recombination. (13) Misrepresentation and scientific evidence suppression defines agribusiness practice. A 2013 Ban GMOs Now report states: GMO proliferation needs to be reversed as quickly as possible, particularly as GM agriculture is failing on all counts. That can only be achieved by a ban on GMOs, an action already taken by countries and local communities around the world. We need to join forces with them, to put an end to the GM corporate empire. GMO agriculture assures disaster. People deserve safe foods and ingredients. Future generations will not forgive us if we do not stop the GM takeover now. Compelling evidence explains why. A Final Comment It emphasizes the importance of a nutritious and sustainable food supply for all people. It honor(s) those who have worked successfully for this goal. Three 2013 recipients were chosen. They include Monsanto executive vice president Robert Fraley, biotech giant Syngenta founder Mary Dell Chilton, and European Federation of Biotechnology president Marc Van Montagu. Entrepreneur John Ruan sponsored the World Food Prize. His son (John III) succeeded him as chairman. Former State Department official Kenneth M. Quinn serves as president. Perhaps they believe nutritious and sustainable food doesnt have to be safe. Maybe they think poisoning people for profit is OK. 
3	U.S. Passports Offer The Worst Level of Travel Freedom in Latin America among Developed CountriesDigby Jones A combination of antiquated ideological embargoes, less than cordial international relations, and harsh reciprocity regarding arrival procedures and visas, require U.S. passport holders to pay to enter more Latin American countries than any other developed nation. Indeed, the true value of a U.S. passport is called into question when it is such an underprivileged document for travelling in a significant part of its own hemisphere. By comparison, most European countries in addition to Canadians, Australians, Kiwis, Japanese, Koreans, and Singaporeans are all afforded a higher degree of travel freedom to the same region. Specifically in the case of Europeans and New Zealanders, their passports are significantly better for Latin American travel. Cuba The most prominent, and indeed the saddest example of U.S. passport inferiority for extensively travelling Latin America is among the closest to home. It is none other than the beautiful island nation of Cuba, and we are essentially banished from being able to visit this country for the crime of being born or naturalized as a U.S. citizen. Literally every other nation on Earth is afforded the liberty to visit and experience the captivating culture and astounding natural beauty of this large Caribbean country, provided they go through the standard visa procedures and so forth (it is fairly routine for most countries). In January 2012, an Angus Reid Public Opinion poll showed 57% of Americans called for ending the travel ban that prevents most Americans from visiting Cuba. Personally, I think thats 43% not enough. Its a stupid policy. Theres no reason why we cant be friends with the Cubans, and vice versa. A lot of them have relatives in the United States, and some Americans have relatives in Cuba, so we should have freedom of travel We seem to think its safe to open the door to a billion communists in China but for some reason, were scared to death of the Cubans. former Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern (June, 2011) Brazil Brazil is a monster among nations, comprising 51% of the population of South America and a comparable amount of its total land area. In fact, it is the worlds fifth largest country by both territory and population, and it represents the big B among the emerging BRIC nations. The country has been flexing its growing economic muscle in the 21st century, and it has shown that it does not like being pushed around by the arrogant and exceptional policies of the United States without fitting diplomatic retribution. Brazils president Dilma Rousseff is a prominent figurehead in the implementation of the BRICS Cable, which is designed to rid numerous influential countries from the scourge of creepy NSA eavesdropping, while Brazil is also one of a number of countries that retaliates on US citizen visa applications with corresponding reciprocity fees. Thats right, U.S. citizens must now pay a whopping $180 for a visa to visit the largest and most populous nation in Latin America while many other culturally similar nations do not require any visa or monetary payment whatsoever. By comparison, citizens of the European Union, New Zealand, and South Korea are allowed to freely come and go to Brazil as they please. To get a feel for the consequences of needing a visa for this country, just look at a globe and fixate your eyes on Brazil for a little while. Come to the realization that U.S. citizens must go through an irritating visa process and pay a hefty fee to enter this massive and diverse country, knowing all the while that Europeans are in the clear. That simply does NOT look good for evaluating the advantages of a U.S. passport for travelling globally, let alone Latin America. Argentina Argentina is the worlds 8th largest nation and is comparable in size to India (oddly enough another major country which U.S. citizens need pre-arrival visas while some other western nations such as New Zealand are afforded more flexibility). Along with its smaller neighbor Uruguay, Argentina is the most European of Latin American nations. In fact, turning a common Anglo-American misconception of Latin America completely upside-down (that everyone south of the Rio Grande comes in various shades of brown), it may come as a surprise to many that modern day Argentina and Uruguay actually have the highest percentages of Caucasians in the Americas as a whole. The country spreads from the sub-arctic town of Ushuaia, used as a gateway for Antarctic expeditions, to the thunderous tropical wonder that is the Iguazu Falls. Buenos Aires is a magnificent city full of beautiful french influenced architecture, raucous football matches, professional tango, pulsating nightclubs, and gorgeous residents. The country is quite affordable even with the weak U.S. dollar, has top-notch steaks and wine, and has terrific hiking and skiing around the beautiful lakes district. Considering the issue of safety, beyond a few bad-egg neighborhoods to avoid and simple precautions to take in the larger cities, the country is hardly any more dangerous for tourists than if you were visiting Nebraska. Whats not to love? Well, as of 2013, citizens of the United States must now pay a huge $160 reciprocity fee to enter Argentina. The U.S. state department website wants to claim its due to a change in Argentinian law, as if the United States didnt deserve it for some reason. But that is because Argentinians were subject to this harsh payment in order to enter the United States in the first place, and they are merely returning the favor. The consequence of this matter is that U.S. citizens are the ONLY country in the western world which requires a payment in order to travel or do business in Argentina. That means Europeans, Canadians, Australians, Kiwis, Japanese, Koreans, Israelis, etc. all get to visit Argentina with an extra $160 in their pocket to spend on luxurious cuts of beef, tasty Mendoza wine, football matches, or whatever else tickles their fancy. Dammit! Chile There is a lot to love about Chile and things have changed a lot since the days of the Pinochet dictatorship. The country is clean, safe, and as of the 2010s, almost borderline 1st world in many respects. Chile beats the United States by ranking lower on the corruption perceptions index (ouch!), has a fairly low percentage of its population living in abject poverty, Santiago is a safer city than any U.S. metro area of comparable size, and the Chileans could teach Americans a thing or two about keeping a marriage intact (the divorce rate is among the worlds lowest). While the capital itself is hardly a popular tourist destination, the country features the eerily beautiful Atacama Desert and the Torres Del Paine national park, probably one of the most majestic hiking and camping spots on the planet. But guess what? U.S. citizens must pay a Chilean visa reciprocity fee much like neighboring Argentina, which is currently set at $160. While the fee is only charged at the Santiago International Airport, you need to bear in mind that is the only major international airport for the entire country. So if you are getting sick of the United States and want to retire to Galts Gulch, the extra $160 you must pay to enter Chile on top of your expensive plane ticket is really rubbing salt in the wound. Bolivia Bolivia is just plain awesome. Dont let anybody who gave you a horror story about how terrible the roads were deter you from visiting this special place. While unfortunately its the poorest country in South America, the country features fantastic tourist destinations in the form of the Uyuni salt flats, the worlds most dangerous road, and the cities of La Paz and Potosi. As for the progressive city of Cochabamba, located at an elevation which grants Spring-like weather year round, it would be as expensive and overdeveloped as Southern California if the city were located in the United States. Several western countries do require tourist visas for Bolivia, and the United States is certainly no exception. A tourist visa currently costs $135, which is actually a very large amount of money considering how incredibly cheap the country is for most westerners. When I visited in 2009, I contributed the equivalent of five dollars for a shared taxi fare between the cities of Potosi and Salar de Uyuni, and spent several nights in a hotel near lake Titicaca for the equivalent of $2.15 per night (no typo). The room was hardly anything to brag about, but I got as good a nights sleep as any other soulless $100-a-night chain hotel in the USA. Makes you think. Paraguay Paraguay is among the least visited nations in South America for western tourists, possessing no real must see destinations compared to its larger neighbors, and with most of the country being dominated by agriculture and ranching. Well, unfortunately, that still doesnt change the fact that U.S. citizens must pay a large fee to enter Paraguay while just about all Europeans dont have to! The current fee set for U.S. passport holders is $160, and thats $160 of cold hard cash that Europeans can keep while exploring the 406,752 square kilometers of American territory that encompasses Paraguay. Considering how awful the United States government treats Latin America and needlessly meddles in their affairs, we should consider ourselves lucky that visa requirements are as generous as they are in their current state. The U.S. government is constantly working to undermine the government of Venezuela, added fuel to the narcotics wars in Colombia for decades, assassinated Ecuadorian leaders (Jaime Roldos Aguilera), and tried to privatize Bolivian water sources, among countless other cruel and imperialistic endeavors in the region. Not too long ago, Bolivia got so sick of McDonalds they completely tossed the garbage fast-food chain out of the country. More recently, the U.S. government forcibly landed Bolivian president Evo Morales plane during their ruthless hunt for humanitarian-of-the-year Edward Snowden. Shortly thereafter, Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduros jet was denied a flight path by the United States aviation authorities, as it would briefly travel over Puerto Rican airspace on the way to Europe. It was an act of purely childish malevolence which was meant to do nothing more than irritate Venezuelas president for his offering of asylum to Mr. Snowden. Yet U.S. citizens can still visit Venezuela and most of the Andean countries (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru) without a visa. Venezuela is desperately trying to shake its dangerous image and does not want to add difficulty to a potential market of 300 million+ people from spending tourist dollars in the country, especially with Caracas being the closest South American capital city to the United States. Ecuador uses the U.S. dollar and receives a lot of tourism, foreign investment, and a growing number of retirees from the USA. No way does Peru want to stymie the hordes of U.S. tourism to the cash bonanza that is Machu Picchu by suddenly requiring a tourist visa to land in Lima. However, the more southerly South American nations are not quite as dependent on U.S. tourist dollars as their more northerly brethren in addition to most of the Caribbean, Mexico, and the countries along the Central American isthmus. As a result, they have the flexibility to retaliate in kind with the visa restrictions that are placed on their own citizens when they wish to visit the United States. They know that if you want to visit Chile or Argentina, then you want to visit Chile or Argentina. Its that simple. This article first appeared on Ingenious Press.

2	I Stared At This Picture For Hours And Couldnt Find The Hidden Panda, Can You See The Answer? A new illustration is sweeping across social media, leaving many users scratching their heads. The brilliant drawing was created by Hungarian artist Gregerly Dudas, who shared the photo on his personal page. He then told his followers there was a panda among a series of different snowmen, asking them if they could spot them. This seems like an easy task, but it turns out to be so mind-bending that its quickly going viral. After just a few days, Dudas woke up with 42,000 likes and 100,000 sharesand most people couldnt find the panda! Some even started doubting its existence. There aint no panda in there! Gary Pearsall wrote. On the other end of the spectrum, some views claim to have found the panda as quickly as five seconds. Of all the mind-bending puzzles this one is definitely the most popular, and the most frustrating. Were you able to find the panda? How long did it take? 
2	Patriot Criticizes Obama For Not Crying For Past Tragedies President Obama gained national attention this past week when he shed a few big alligator tears while delivering a speech about guns in America. While some Americans were actually moved by the emotional display, others were outraged. Anyone who knows Obamas intentions behind his gun control agenda can see that it is American citizens, who should be crying, not the President himself. We have Second Amendment rights that are granted to us by the constitution, and Obama is endangering those with his actions. Not to mention that this is the first time weve actually seen Obama show any emotion about anything. Where was he during several major tragedies that affected the American people? As one patriot pointed out in a tweet that has since gone viral, this is a very convenient time for Obama to be distracting Americans with tears. Who Obama Did NOT Cry For: What do you think? Do you agree with this patriot? 
2	All UPS Flights Grounded After ISIS Threatens Next 9/11 Style Terrorist Attack On the anniversary of September 11, and Benghazi, there were rumors of a follow-up attack. In fact, UPS flights were grounded, which has many Americans believing that the government was on high alert, in a potential effort to thwart yet another terrorist attack. According to the Air Traffic Control System Command Center (ATCSCC), UPS pilots were told to stop all UPS flights regardless of destination. UPS later released a system claiming that they were experiencing computer difficulties. And while the actual facts surrounding the incident are blurry, Americans who believe this was in response to a terrorist plot remain strong. What do you think? Was this a response from the government to a terrorist plot, or just a coincidental computer failure? 
3	Smart Meters: How the Government Monitors Your Every MoveSusanne Posel, Contributor Researchersin Germany have concluded that when privacy implications were analyzed, they proved that customers were being surveilled by their utility company with encrypted data to determine whether or not the customers were home. They are marketed as a way to save energy on monthly bills as well as reduce carbon emissions. Jim Marston, vice president of energy for the Environmental Defense Fund, maintains that if done right, smart meters allow us to eliminate waste from the system. Its not unlike the revolution in telephones. These are things that allow you to know when you are gone and to turn off all your lights. Or to allow your appliances to turn on only when renewable power is available, or for utilities to figure out where outages are. In Australia, the energy corporation, Origin Energy, forces customers to fill out online formsthat request detailed personal information that is shared with private sector corporations. This data is given to governmentauthorities electricity installers, data processing analysts, IT service providers, debt collection and credit reporting agencies. In California, smart meters give hourly reports of electrical usage through wireless connections. Yet the California Public Service Commission (CPSC) received complaints that the data received by utilities corporations led to rate hikes. Pacific gas and Electric (PGE) claims that their smart meters are in compliance with FCC regulations. Most notablyis that the installation of the device requires professional contractors, not utility workers, as if the usual case. PGE contracts others such as Wellington and Corix to install smart meters. These corporations hire temp workers who are not qualified and this may lead to fires and explosions. In some states, an opt-out program has been installed where customers pay a fee for analog meters. Colorado, Maine and Arizona provide this service while Maryland and the District of Columbia does not. The Foundation for Information Policy Research(FIPR), a think-tank for Internet policy in Britain, assertsthat smart meters may be used as blackmail or fuel for a hostile attack against the UK government by a foreign power or a terrorist group. This information would be most likely sold to identity thieves as well as able to be manipulated by energy corporations. Smart meters have the capacity to spy on you in your home. They collect data on the electrical usage in your home, then that information is remotely sent to a central database at your utilities corporation. In December of 2011, the FCC announcedplans to transition unused over-the-air wireless bands into Super Wi-Fi. This super Wi-Fi will use low frequencies (from 470 to 698 megahertz) that have longer wavelengths and travel father; and even penetrate walls. An indicator of these plans can be found on the underside of any electronic device in your home. Even on the underside of a simple calculator, toaster oven, and even your refrigerator; you will find the following: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. What this disclaimer means is that this device is not allowed to jam or block any signals and must accept any incoming signal given (by FCC regulations under Part 15 of the FCC Rules). The Vermont Department of Health released a reportin 2012 that stated smart meters use radio signals to communicate with the utility corporations and the exposure to radio frequency radiation (RFR) is detrimental to human health. The human body absorbs a wide range of thermal energy and capable of expelling that energy. However high exposure to radio frequencies breaks down the bodys natural abilities Susanne Posel is the Chief Editor of Occupy Corporatism.

2	Trump Responds To Priest Who Criticized Him During Sermon Donald Trump is no stranger to criticism, but he probably wasnt expecting a sermon to be directed at him while he was in church. According to the Associated Press, that is exactly what happened at the First Presbyterian Church in Iowa recently. Its being reported that the Rev. Pamela Saturnia made a clear reference to Trump on a portion of her sermon that dealt with humility. Can you imagine eye telling hand, Get lost, I dont need you or hearing the head telling the foot, Youre fired, your job has been phased out? Saturnia said, in what many believed was a direct reference toward Donalds catchphrase. During a separate part of her sermon, Saturnia discussed the acceptance of outsiders including Syrian refugees and Mexican migrants. Jesus is teaching us today that he has come for those who are outside of the church, Saturnia commented, encouraging the congregation to lend support to those who are the most unloved, the most discriminated against, the most forgotten in our community and in our world. Trump didnt seem to be bothered by the comments. In fact, he let them roll off like water on a ducks back. I dont know if that was aimed at me, Trump said after leaving the service, perhaps. Trumps appearance at the church comes right before the Iowa caucuses, where the religious community could challenge his position as frontrunner. Iowa has been known to favor candidates with strong religious or evangelical ties. Trumps religious background has been questioned by many conservatives, especially in comparison to other candidates like Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, and Rick Santorum. What do you think of the incident? Was Saturnia out of line? Did Trump handle the slights elegantly? 
1	At the close of trading Monday, the U.S. dollar dipped to a record low of $.60 against the counterfeit U.S. dollar, which also outpaced the dollar against the euro and the yen. 'We don't even accept regular U.S. dollars anymore,' said Union, NJ 7-Eleven manager Rick Grove, echoing the sentiments of merchants nationwide. 'We've gotten stung a few times taking in the real ones. I always tell my cashiers, if it feels fake to the touch, and you can't see both sides when you hold it up to the light, it's fine.' Concerned about further devalutation of standard U.S. currency, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has suggested that Congress outlaw counterfeit bills entirely. 
1	After spending more than a century exploiting urban decay to create deeply moving, socially conscious works of art, the art world announced Tuesday that it had captured all the beauty it was going to find in rusted-out cars, abandoned houses, and condemned industrial sites. 'These modern ruins speak to the very heart of the human condition, but at this point every last inch of Detroit and Oakland has been documented in photographs, on film, or as part of a multimedia installation,' said artist Devon Gerhart, who told reporters that devoting so much time to contemplating the wounded grandeur of blighted cityscapes had led him to the point where he just wanted to see the places cleaned up. 'I made my career portraying the plight of the homeless, but now I'm starting to wonder whether they'd prefer it if someone just helped them find a place to live.' The world's artists later confirmed plans to spend at least another 50 years churning out heavy-handed depictions of the inherent soullessness of suburban sprawl. 
3	Japan Recognizes First Thyroid Cancer Case As Fukushima Related, Offers CompensationBy Whitney Webb Ever since the disaster, TEPCO as well as the Japanese government have consistently tried to downplay the disasters impacts nationally and globally. The collusion was so blatant that even TEPCOs company president, Naomi Hirose, admitted that a cover-up had taken place. However, some of Fukushimas effects are so obvious that even the Japanese government cannot continue to deny the enormity of the 2011 disaster. Within the last five years, many of the workers present at the Fukushima nuclear plant during the meltdown, as well as those involved in its clean-up, have developed cancer. Of the numerous workers seeking compensation, only two workers with leukemia were found to be entitled to workplace compensation by the Japanese health ministry. Yet, neither of these workers have so far received any money from the government for their treatment. Now, that is set to change. On Friday, Japans health ministry concluded that another worker, diagnosed with thyroid cancer three years ago, developed his illness due to radiation exposure during his time working for TEPCO. The man had worked at several nuclear power plants with the company between 1992 and 2012 and was present at the Fukushima plant during the disaster. The radiation present in the mans body was found to be about 150 millisieverts, with 140 of which were believed to be a result of the 2011 disaster. This marks the first time that a former worker with thyroid cancer has won the right to work-related compensation as many other similar cases were previously rejected by the Japanese government. This most recent confirmed case of Fukushima-related cancer ultimately forced the hand of the Japanese government, prompting them to release their overall position on workers compensation for those who worked at the plant before and after the catastrophe. Officials said that workers who had been exposed to over 100 millisieverts and developed cancer five years or more after the disaster were entitled to compensation, though this quantity of radiation was said to be a yardstick not a strict standard. According to a joint study by the UN and TEPCO, about 174 former workers are believed to have been exposed to over 100 millisieverts of radiation. However, the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun reported that more than 2,000 workers have radiation exceeding 100 millisieverts in their thyroid gland alone. Though this new policy is good news for former TEPCO employees, it does little to address the growing epidemic of thyroid cancer among Fukushima citizens. Thyroid cancer rates have soared since the disaster. The trend is particularly noticeable among Fukushimas youngest residents as 131 children have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer since 2011. Despite the spike in thyroid cancer, the Japanese government, TEPCO, and even the United Nations have insisted that there is no direct link between exposure to Fukushima radiation and thyroid cancer. However, exposure to Iodine-131, the main radionuclide released into the air and water during the meltdown, is known to increase ones risk of thyroid cancer and is the most clearly defined environmental factor associated with thyroid tumors. If the Japanese government is offering compensation to workers for radiation exposure, it must also extend help to the disasters youngest victims. What are your thoughts?

Franssila Harach 1986: The thyroids from 93 autopsies, performed on children, and young adults younger than age 40 years, occult papillary carcinoma (OPC), giving a prevalence rate of 14%. The youngest affected patient was a boy aged 18 years. The prevalence rate of individuals between age 18 and 40 years was 27%. The rate appears to be rather constant in adults, although there may be a slight rise in middle age. 100 papillary carcinomas from the whole country, there were six patients younger than age 21 years and three of them were younger than age 16 years (unpublished observation). 6% of kids, age 21 or less In most of these studies, no correlation was found between the prevalence rate of OPC and the age of the patients. The series have not, however, included almost any children and only few young adults. Franssila, Kaarle O., and H. Rubn Harach 1986. Occult papillary carcinoma of the thyroid in children and young adults: A systemic autopsy study in Finland. Cancer Before Chernobyl, before Fukushima, The thyroids from 101 consecutive autopsies from Finland were subserially sectioned at 2- to 3-mm intervals. From 36 thyroids, 52 foci of occult papillary carcinoma (OPC) were found, giving a prevalence rate of 35.6%, Apparently the great majority of the [papillary carcinoma] tumors remain small and circumscribed and even from those few tumors that grow larger, and become invasive OPCs, only a minimal proportion will ever become a clinical carcinoma. According to the study, OPC can be regarded as a normal finding which should not be treated when incidentally found. In order to avoid unnecessary operations it is suggested that incidentally found small OPCs (less than 5 mm in diameter) were called occult papillary tumor instead of carcinoma. Harach, H. Rubn, Kaarle O. Franssila, and VeliMatti Wasenius 1985. Occult papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. A normal finding in Finland. A systematic autopsy study. Cancer Just the tip of the iceburg. Especially because the (totally uncontaminated) seawater has 13,000 Becquerels (per cubic metre) of radioactive material in it naturally. Fukushima adds about 10 or less Bq/m^3 east of the international date line. The radiation present in the mans body was found to be about 150 millisieverts, with You idiots. Radiation is not measured in Sieverts. Radiation is measured in Becquerels. Radiation dose is measured in Sieverts. Whitney, was this your editors doing? Grow up Daft Tinkler worthless puerile hate monger. 
1	A half century after Jonas Salk first devised a vaccine for polio, nostalgic researchers at NYU Medical Center rediscovered the classic inoculation late Tuesday night, recreating the immunization treatment from a monkey kidney tissue culture determined to be highly evocative of the original. It was a simpler time back then, said project leader Dr. Timothy Riordan, who lamented his generation having lost touch with many traditions from the early days of virology. They just dont make vaccines like this anymore. There was a real craft to it back then. At press time, the scientists had shifted their efforts toward finding a way to contain the new deadly and virulent strain of polio they had inadvertently created.

2	BREAKING: New Charges Announced Against Officer Wilson Al Sharpton announced that the government will be moving forward with prosecuting Officer Darren Wilson, stating that the trial was unfair but foreseen, Benjamin Crum; family attorney also sides with Sharpton, saying this process is broken. Young people of color are being killed by police officers, said Crump, Sharpton and Crump both proposed a Michael Brown law, which would require that all law enforcement wear body cameras for complete transparency, recording all activity and insuring police are not abusing their power. As Sharpton revealed an emergency civil rights leadership meeting in Washington, D.C. next week to determine an ongoing strategy for dealing with racial issues. We may have lost one round, but the fight is not over, he said. We took a blow last night, but thats alright. Michael Brown will be remembered by new legislation and the upholding of laws that protect citizens in the country, he said. Let the record be clear: You have broken our hearts, but you have not broken our backs. Al Sharpton also addressed The Ferguson race rioters. He said, If youre on Michael Browns side, you walk with dignity. If you do anything to harm others, youre on your own side. So lets see if this helps calm the Ferguson race rioters violent course and hope that this uproar will soon stop. 
2	Germany Closes Borders To Refugees Over the past few months, European countries have seen a shocking escalation of violence in their nations at the hands of migrants. Now, many of these Western nations are starting to question their open-arms policies, and Germany may even be in the process of closing their borders. According to reports, German riot police broke up a protest in Cologne on Saturday. Citizens were marching against Germanys migration policyan action that was sparked by a series of sexual assaults on women that occurred on New Years Eve. 32 people were suspected of playing a role in the attacks, and 22 of those were in the process of seeking asylum in Germany. That is only a fraction of the 76 criminal acts that were documented. The attacks on citizens at the hands of migrants ranged from sexual molestation to theft. Now, the country is questioning their decision to take in 1.1 million migrants and refugees, under an asylum law that was heavily supported by Chancellor Angela Merkel. Authorities report that around 1,700 people attended the rally, which was organized by the far-right PEGIDA movement. Demonstrators were taking their opinions to the extreme, with some of them even sporting tattoos with a skull in a German soldiers helmet. They were heard chanting things like Merkel must go and Rapefugees not welcome. This response, though extreme, serves as a warning to the United States. The policies we have in place are not guaranteed to protect against the type of violence that were already seeing throughout the world. The safety of our citizens needs to be a priority, not an afterthought. 
3	Religious Exemptions to Vaccines are Life or Death RightsSandor White A recent Stanford study, blasted all over the country by media, purporting to show that organic food is no different from pesticide-ridden crops, is a prime example, with only a bit of investigating revealing that the person behind the study had once done bogus studies for the Tobacco Industry as well. The study is so loose with reality that it even says agribusiness slows pace of global warming even though agribusinesss seeds (and the pharmaceutical industries vaccines and pills) are based on petrochemicals, central to driving global warming. Science is being cavalierly twisted by the corporations and media, and in a direction that is anti-life. One of the most important protections people have against such falsehoods is, ironically, religious belief. That belief is meant to be based on conscience and morality. It was the truth-filled, loving force that rid India of the British Empire. It was a strong force against the Vietnam War as priests were willing to go to jail to stop it. It is a force in Burma where Buddhist monks have stood against a repressive government. It is a force in Tibet now as monks have burned themselves to death in response to the totalitarian Chinese rule attempting to stamp out religious life there. There has been a demonization of those opposed to abortion, but has anyone stopped to think what it would mean for this culture to be fine with killing fetuses, not faced with the moral questions raised by those arguing we have no right to take a life? When imams in Africa or groups in Asia object to vaccines, worried that children are being crippled and dying, media is used to assault them for being anti-science, anti-progress, and often imply religious stupidity. Yet it was a religious group that exposed the reality of tetanus vaccines being used to sterilize people. Americans are aware that the country is being plundered losing its homes, its jobs, its farms, its access to real food, its economy, its rights by politicians and corporations both operating without moral values. Americans bodies are also under assault. If those bodies can be made ill, they become the source, over a lifetime of sickness, of a fortune for corporations selling vaccines. This is another form of the Idiot Cycle, in which the companies which sicken people with their toxins then provide the medicines to treat those illnesses. Religious belief is a sizable roadblock to such power, and when it comes to vaccines, it is precisely moral commitment to the life of children and of their community that has stood in the way. That morality often (though not solely) comes from religious belief. In that context, it is vital to note what is occurring in the US in terms of efforts to undermine religious rights. The religious exemption to vaccination is now under heavy attack across the country. In the video below, Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), discusses this important exemption, and why its so vital we defend our right to opt out of vaccinations for medical, religious, or conscientious belief reasons. All Americans need to know their options for legally opting-out of vaccinations, and you also need to know why its so important to protect this legal option, whether you choose to use every federally recommended vaccine for yourself and your children or not.(Source) The Nuremberg Code was established after the Holocaust to prevent the pharmaceutical industry from ever again forcing medical procedures on people against their wil. It is this defense against such industry power that is under attack. Without exemptions, people would be forced to submit their children to vaccines (and perhaps submit themselves if laws are written to include adults). As it is becoming clear the vaccines are actually causing diseases, people are also recognizing that there is profit in diseases (the article is by a Jewish cardiologist). Double the Flu Risk Oral polio vaccine and 47,500 Cases of Paralysis Measles MMR Whooping Cough DPT The person regulating DPT called it The dirtiest substance ever put in the human body. People, faced with the thought that vaccines may not in fact be the saving miracle of modern medicine, often fall back on what they have been told about the polio and smallpox vaccines as evidence of peoples lives being saved. Polio and smallpox are the big threats that leave people vulnerable to doing whatever the government says if thet announce an outbreak of some infectious disease. Yet what we were told about the polio vaccine is as false as what we have been told about the Smallpox vaccine. We have been fed fear on a steady basis so the public will be willing to submit to whatever solution is suggested. West Nile virus is the latest such scare, with people being told its incurable and that spraying of toxic chemicals to kill mosquitoes must be done. Yet West Nile virus has never even been isolated and may actually be a collections of symptoms related to toxins (in which case spraying more is an even more terrible idea that people know it already is), and there is cure but it has been suppressed (as was an easy cure for polio). (In fact, there is a proven cure for over 70 infectious diseases meningitis, anthrax, hepatitis, dengue, West Nile, polio, swine flu, etc. See thisvideo), making vaccines obsolete, even if they werent dangerous.) What if a Smallpox outbreak (or any other disease) were announced and the CDC said everyone must get the vaccine? Here is where religious exemptions become vital as a means to refuse, for the CDC has admitted the small pox vaccine caused Smallpox. And in addition, the CDC has admitted the vaccine causes heart problems and warns people should not get it if (quote): Powerful governments have a long history of undermining religious belief. In its quiet way, such beliefs stand against power and support the moral life and spiritual grounding of human beings. Science captured by corporations has been used to demean religious belief. Those same corporations have used media to promote vaccines, to cover up crippling and deaths, and to suppress actual cures. So human thoughts based on moral beliefs are vital protection for life. The assault on religious exemptions for vaccines is meant to remove morality as a roadblock to profits. Just as morality in general is critical to maintain and even to expand, so too are religious exemptions. Some people may use such exemptions to say No to vaccines because they believe they violate a deeply held religious conviction that the body is a blessed gift from God and may not be intruded on by a government. Some may say No to being experimented on based on a historical awareness that the pharmaceutical industry worked to develop a means to sterilize people at doctors appointments without their knowing. Others may fight for religious exemption because they see the Nuremberg Code as a phoenix rising out of the Holocaust and believe it is their religious obligation to protect it (the informed consent of religious exemptions) as part of Never again. Other may from religious conviction object to the immorality of an industry generating diseases for profits. Whatever the moral conviction, religious exemptions to vaccines are a spiritual counterbalance to power and profit, and in that, they are essential to all Americans. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	Artificial Intelligence Could Co-Pilot Future Combat Jets: Navy OfficialNicholas West According to an unnamed Navy official in the latest post from U.S. Naval Institute News, A.I is going to be huge by 2030. Not many additional specifics were given, but the role of A.I. is currently foreseen as a decision aid to the pilot in a way similar in concept to how advanced sensor fusion onboard jets like the F-22 and Lockheed Martin F-35 work now. More importantly, the post cites an Air Force summit that is being held in phases, called Air Superiority 2030 and Beyond. I have included links at the end of this chronicle to unclassified documents from this summit that highlight a future where artificial intelligence, Big Data, and The Internet of Things all converge into a pervasive war matrix that includes anti-matter, EMP, smart dust explosives, bio dispensers and directed energy weapons among others (1). Add to this documents such as Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025 and we can see the direction we are being taken over the next decade and beyond. As you will see below, the timeline for development continues to expand, demonstrating that the U.S. military and its corporate war profiteer suppliers are certainly not planning for world peace anytime soon. History was made in mid-May of last year as Northrop Grummans X-47B unmanned drone made its first launch at sea from the U.S.S. George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier. While the Navy says it wasnt intended for the immediate war environment, it was heralded by the commander of the Naval Air Forces, Vice Admiral David Buss, as a monumental achievement: Today we saw a small, but significant pixel in the future picture of our Navy as we begin integration of unmanned systems into arguably the most complex warfighting environment that exists today: the flight deck of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. This test was followed by the successful landing of the same aircraft upon a moving flight deck at sea to which it returned after being stationed at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md. That event, as you will see below, is thought to have heralded the arrival of the autonomous drones of the future. Landing: The Navy later announced the successful integration of autonomous drones alongside manned aircraft for ongoing regular carrier missions. The aircraft completed a series of tests demonstrating its ability to operate safely and seamlessly with manned aircraft. The first series of manned/unmanned operations began Sundaymorning when the ship launched an F/A-18 and an X-47B. After an eight-minute flight, the X-47B executed an arrested landing, folded its wings and taxied out of the landing area. [] This cooperative launch and recovery sequence will be repeated multiple times over the course of the planned test periods. The X-47B performed multiple arrested landings, catapults, flight deck taxiing and deck refueling operations. Today we showed that the X-47B could take off, land and fly in the carrier pattern with manned aircraft while maintaining normal flight deck operations. This is key for the future Carrier Air Wing. Capt. Beau Duarte, Program Manager, Navys Unmanned Carrier Aviation office [] The Navy will continue X-47B flight operations over the next year to refine the concept of operations to demonstrate the integration of unmanned carrier-based aircraft within the carrier environment and mature technologies for the future Unmanned Carrier Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike system. (Source) While the Pentagon has thus far insisted that automated systems will never supplant human decision making, and various military analysts dont see any type of autonomous machine warfare as likely before 2030, another video by defense contractor General Atomics puts a very specific date on the next generation of drone warfare 2017. This video speaks for itself in terms of the planned capabilities of the Predator C Avenger, but what should be highlighted is their stated goal to reduce the number of humans and increase the number of Unmanned Aerial Systems. Cost-reduction is mentioned as a key component of the flexibility that can be offered. This is the real future: Also worth noting is the multiple weapons capability of this single aircraft, all wrapped up in a video game interface with its plug and play functionality. Does this convince you that warfare is likely to end anytime soon, or that drones are in the mere testing phase? The drones of the future have likely been completed and are awaiting full rollout. This announcement is one more step in the conditioning of the public that the future of drone warfare is just around the corner, when it is alreadyupon us. But we should be happy to celebrate this history-making event. Notes: 1.

2	Woman Kicked Out Of Trump Rally Was Set Up When a CNN reporter interviewed a Muslim protester who was ejected from a Donald Trump campaign event last week, the liberal media quickly spread the story. But a flaw in CNNs plan revealed that the protester was actually interviewed before she was ejected. Rose Hamid was reportedly kicked out of a Trump rally in South Carolina on Friday for wearing a shirt that said, Salam, I come in peace. The 56-year-old flight attendant was also wearing something that looked akin to the Star of David. She was clearly not shying away from attention. CNN was quick to publicize Hamids story, broadcasting it more widely than any other network. Only later was it revealed that the actually found her in the crowd before the event. I figured that most Trump supporters probably never met a Muslim, so I figured that Id give them the opportunity to meet one, she told reporters. I really dont plan to say anything. I dont want to be disrespectful, but if he says something that I feel needs answering I mightwell just see what strikes me. Of course, the protesters were quick to use the story to highlight Islamaphobia. The ugliness really came out fast and thats really scary, Hamid told reporters. Her husband also claims that she heard a Trump supporter yell out, You have a bomb, you have a bomb! CNN was also coating the truth when they referred to Hamid as a silently protesting Muslim. In fact, Hamid is an activist who has a long history of anti-Israeli sentiments. She has repeatedly and publicly referred to the actions of Palestinian terrorists as resistance. What do you think? Are you tired of the mainstream media manipulating the truth to fuel their one-sided narratives? 
3	Uruguay Debates Legalizing All DrugsPhillip Smith The comments came in interviews solicited by and published in the Uruguayan news weekly Busqueda and appeared in its November 22 issue. The war on drugs has been a resounding failure because it has fortified crime, said Independent Party Deputy Ivan Posada. Forty years of drug war has created a reality where there exist true international enterprises dedicated to the traffic in drugs, which can only be effectively combated by establishing the legalization of the traffic of all drugs, he said. The legalization of marijuana sales and cultivation (use and possession are already legal in Uruguay) proposed by Mujica and his Broad Front (Frente Amplio) government is doomed to failure because it is only a half-measure and not a global strategy, Posada sniped. There will come a moment in which all the drugs that are today illegal heroin, cocaine, etc. will be administered in the same manner, with an informative pamphlet, said Bayardi, a former defense minister. Then, the individual will take the responsibility for doing with them what he wishes. We are going down this path. Sooner rather than later, we will arrive, and then we will really be fighting the drug trade, he said. The steps the government is taking to legalize and regulate marijuana sales and cultivation are a beginning, a point of departure on a path where the state will regulate all drugs, said Broad Front Deputy Sebatian Sabini, who chairs the Commission on Addiction in the Uruguayan House of Representatives. As a society, we arent ready to discuss it, but in the long run we have to do it, also for public health reasons. We can carry the same analysis of the drug trade that leads us to legalize marijuana on to base, to cocaine, he said. National Alliance Deputy Pablo Itturralde said what was needed first was a an educational campaign illuminating the dangers caused by drug abuse. After that, if someone wants, he can consume what he will, he said. Marijuana users arent the problem, Itturalde said. If there is a drug that is implicated in public safety, it is paste base, he said. Marijuana users are peace and love people. [Ed: Paste base is also known as pasta de cocana, thought of similarly to crack cocaine, and is considered Uruguays most worrisome drug problem.] The leader of the House of Representatives, Deputy Jorge Orrico, also said that the way to fight the drug trade is to legalize all drugs, although he caviled about paste base because of its negative effects. Of all the other substances, I have no doubt because the business works in clandestinity. At the least, we can diminish the mafia, he said. While the talk of legalization of all drugs cuts across the political spectrum in Uruguay, at this point it is only the legalization and regulation of marijuana commerce that is on the legislative agenda. But it sure looks like many Uruguayans are interested in looking further.

1	After three years of catching the bus to work at the corner of 4th and Houston, area resident Willard Dawes refused to accept the Lubbock Area Transit System's reworking of its weekday route, which had been clearly delineated in several flyers. 'The C bus should've been here at 3:18,' Dawes said Monday, standing on the sidewalk in front of the MovieTime video store, two blocks east of the new pick-up point. 'I know it will show up. I just have to wait longer.' The change is the most jarring event in Dawes' LATS ridership since 1998, when a fender bender with a taxi seriously shook his faith in Chuck, the eight-to-four weekday driver. 
1	Around the world, children are being turned on to the magic of not reading by the blockbuster film Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone. 'My daughter Julia never liked to sit passively and stare at a screen, but this new movie has really locked the power of her imagination,' said Hannah Foss, 38, of Dayton, OH. 'She can't put her books away fast enough.' 'Movies are great,' said Tarzana, CA, 10-year-old Emily Hart. 'You can see exactly what the characters look like without having to guess.' 
3	How Globalists Predict Your BehaviorBy Brandon Smith Thus, the system, without warrant, is programmed to collate data from everywhere, not necessarily to be analyzed on the spot, but to be analyzed later in the event that a specific person rises to a level that poses legitimate harm to the globalist power structure. There was a time not long ago when this notion was considered conspiracy theory by the mainstream, but with multiple exposures from WikiLeaks to Edward Snowden it is now common knowledge that the government (and the globalists) spy on us en masse. However, I do not think that many people understand the greater implications or uses for this full-spectrum surveillance. This is why you sometimes hear the argument that if you arent doing anything wrong, then you have nothing to worry about The truth is, mass surveillance is not done merely for the sake of surveillance, and it is certainly not undertaken for the sake of public safety. There is a greater purpose, and it is something the elites crave dearly the purpose of total and PREDICTIVE information awareness. The establishment is not just hoping to observe our present behavior in detail. No, they hope to use todays data to predict our behavior tomorrow, and at this very moment, they are extremely close to achieving their goal. Lets examine some of the methods they use in the pursuit of this goal Web analytics are used by almost everyone with a website of their own, and Google is a primary source for this data. Through analytics you can easily measure Web traffic for a particular site, but also where in the world the traffic is coming from, how long these people are staying on your site, how many of them are new visitors versus regular visitors, how your traffic has increased or decreased over a span of months or years, etc., etc. That said, analytics are not just useful to someone with a Web-based business or a blog, they are very useful to the establishment. Why? Because they allow the establishment to view the behavior of most of a population at any given time. In fact, Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, is notorious for opening his big mouth and letting slip some of the finer intricacies of the establishments information war. In 2010 in a videotaped interview with The Atlantic, Schmidt said this: With your permission, you give us more information about you, about your friends, and we can improve the quality of our searches. We dont need you to type at all. We know where you are. We know where youve been. We can more or less know what youre thinking about. Now, this statement from Schmidt is not entirely true. The use of analytics to know the thought processes of the individual person is nonsensical because, first, individuals can be highly erratic and unpredictable due to emotion, intuition and abrupt changes in psychological dynamic. The elites do not know what you are thinking, yet. That said, they do have the tools at their disposal to use what I would call macro-analytics, a widely encompassing view of Internet traffic, to predict GROUP behavior. The ability to track the Web habits of an entire population allows the elites to see shifts in social consciousness in real time. For example, I believe this very method was used to predict the shift of the U.S. population and parts of Europe towards a more conservative or populist ideal in 2016. Because of this the elites have acted accordingly. Instead of attempting to stop the social changes of the group, they have allowed conservative and sovereignty movements to attain a certain level of political power, while also setting those same movements up for epic failure in the next couple of years. I also predicted this move by the elites in advance before the Brexit Referendum (I will go into more detail on this in my next article). The point is, the elites do not necessarily need to spend the incredible amount of energy required to spy on each individual. When people form into ideological groups their behavior becomes much easier to predict. Through macro-analytics, the establishment can simply watch the traffic numbers of conservative and liberty sites to see how quickly a population is adopting that mindset, or abandoning it. They can read these social movements in advance and move to intercept or co-opt. Even if everyone in a given population found a way to use the Web anonymously, this would do nothing to prevent the establishment from collecting wider analytic data and traffic data. The best strategy for defusing this weapon at the fingertips of the elites would be a decentralized Internet; an Internet in which analytics are not collected or cannot be collected. Whether this can be done using existing Internet infrastructure or if it would require the freedom minded to start all over from scratch, I do not know. All I know is that while the existing system is indeed useful to liberty advocates as a means to spread information and to counter disinformation, it is also highly useful to the elites as a means to view and predict mass behavior. It is a trade-off, and it is hard to say who is getting the better part of the trade. For the establishment, though, the Internet is quickly becoming, for all intents and purposes, the all seeing eye. Here is where Eric Schmidts claim of Google knowing what you are thinking could actually come true. Yet another statement from Schmidt in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter breaks down exactly what a human integration with the Web might entail: There will be so many IP addresses so many devices, sensors, things that you are wearing, things that you are interacting with that you wont even sense it. It will be part of your presence all the time. Imagine you walk into a room, and the room is dynamic. And with your permission and all of that, you are interacting with the things going on in the room. Note that Schmidt keeps bringing up the idea that they will have your permission to watch your life and actions in such vivid detail. The elites love the idea of consent, but see consent as an unconscious act. Meaning, they take joy in tricking people into consenting to their own slavery through misinformed participation. Surely, if the average person knew the extent to which their information would be used by the establishment against them they would not consent to a thing. But the elites figure that your ignorance and participation is enough for them. Case in point, the internet of things which Schmidt is describing, is already here. Not only can spy agencies tap into your Web activity and your computer microphone and webcam, but also your cell phone activity. This includes the ability to use cell phone GPS to track every move you make in real time. But cell phones can also be activated while turned off (as long as they have battery power), and your conversations can be recorded while you are none-the-wiser. The cell phone is also a powerful tool for video surveillance. Cell phone makers are now getting ready to equip products with facial recognition software, allowing organizations like the NSA to not only track you with your own cell phone, but also track you through OTHER peoples cell phones if they happen to capture your face in their own phone camera. Imagine a world in which the elites have eyes everywhere because nearly everywhere you go someone is holding a cell phone with biometric software. New products are even more invasive. Amazons latest Echo technology, featuring Alexa, an app which allows the Echo to interpret your commands via microphone and talk back to you, is essentially a highly sensitive listening device (with digital speech interpretation) which people are paying good money for and willingly centralizing in their homes. This is so Orwellian it is astonishing. Though Amazon claims the Echo only records audio for 60 seconds at a time and has refused to give data to the government in two separate instances for use in court prosecutions, the fact is that Amazon does have the data. And, if Amazon has access, then the NSA has access. It is foolish to assume otherwise. The federal pursuit of warrants to gain the data for use in court cases is nothing more than a show designed to normalize the practice of exploiting these devices and make the idea more palatable to the public. If the data can be used to solve a crime, then how can such surveillance be bad, after all? What Schmidt envisions, and I think what the globalists envision, are millions of households filled with devices like the Echo. Not only this, but they also envision every human being reliant on the internet of things every moment of every day. They want a world in which you cant accomplish any necessary activity without interacting with the network. They want a world in which everything you say and do is recorded and modeled and profiled. We are not quite there yet, but we are not far off, and if such a world comes to pass, then the elites will, in a sense, be able to predict individual thought and behavior. In my next article I will be outlining more methods for countering establishment intrusions into your life. Not only that, but I will also be explaining how you can turn the tables and predict the behavior of the elites. In the meantime, the best solution to the problem is to distance ones self from the grid wherever possible. This means doing simple things, like leaving your cell phone at home when it is not really necessary. I grew up in an era without cell phones. Trust me, we got by just fine without them. It also means being more present-minded on the technology in your home and what it does. Do you really need your webcam overlooking your house all day long? Does your computer really need to be operating every second? Do you really need to take pictures of your entire life and post them on Facebook? Can you not limit your desire for every new gadget that happens to come along? Humanity needs a healthy distance from technology. This doesnt mean we go back to using a horse and buggy, but it does mean there is wisdom in moderation. Mass surveillance potential by the establishment is not just a threat to people who might be up to no good; it is a threat to everyone. For the ability to predict a populations behavior makes that population highly controllable. NO ONE is morally benevolent enough to be trusted with that kind of power. Anyone deliberately seeking to obtain such power should be treated with the utmost suspicion. Only the worst of men desire the means to intrude on the lives and minds of men.

You can contact Brandon Smith at: brandon@alt-market.com Aye, Im from the old school where we dont think its any or every bodies business to know what are business is unless we wish to tell them. The old saying on someones nosy inquiry, What are you a cop or writing a book. stands as an axiom for us old schoolers. I dont do facelook because I dont want to share my business with the rest of the world. I got rid of my cell phone when I retired for much the same reason and to have some privacy from always being in contact and always being contactable. The big problem are the electronic devices that spy and gather consent as their equitable interest in contract, in order for you to use them as the consideration you get from the contract. If your old television has to be replaced will the new model spy on you and in order to use it you must give consent to its spying? In that case I can do without a television which as already seen with technologys progression has finally lived up to its name with the vision and viewer reversed. So for me the tele can go but I would like to keep access to the internet as a far more interesting form for everything. The question raised in this article of how the internet can be made to be much more respecting of privacy needs to have an answer for us old schoolers. Too many it seems dont care that they are being constantly spied on to their own and society at large determent. My computers camera is pasted over and the microphone has a big wad of plasticine stuffed over and in it after I stuck a needle into its opening to try a wreck the damn thing. Guess Im just an old schooler. Hence your online commentaries. What I do write as commentary IS of my own choosing. Of course it is. They in no way have you propagandized too. He probably uses the public library, lol:) Dont you love these folks that give this kind of advice then find their commentaries splattered from one end of the globe to the other? Disinformation agents! Not only do we not NEED the emf gadgets all around us, but these frequencies destroy our biological integrity my favorite teacher is Dr. Barry Trower, from Britain. (many lectures on YT.) He has been working with these weapons of war since he was in the Royal Navy in the 1950s. He is brilliant, kind, and knows everything there is to know about the effects upon humans, animals, even insects, . Dr. Klinghardt is also excellent. LEARN, LEARN, and learn some more, so you will live, and stay alive. cheers Wish youd stop calling them the elites. Theyre nothing of the kind. They are dysfunctional, parasitic scum the parastocracy. Take back the unfederal baloney zentral bank of the Usurped Ztates would do wonders for our country. I saw my own living room on my 65 Samsung curved t.v. and it wasnt a reflection in any way. It was only up for a moment like some kind of glitch. 
1	Admitting that it has been a long time since hes allowed himself such an indulgence, local 26-year-old Greg Burnet told reporters Thursday that he recently decided to splurge on an appointment with his general practitioner. Ive been pretty good about saving up my money and I thought now was the time to really treat myself to a medical examination of the chronic abdominal pain Ive been experiencing, said the part-time office assistant and freelance graphic designer, adding that he was determined to really pamper [himself] by resting on an exam table as his doctor searched for a possible hernia. Normally, I wouldnt be one to just throw money around on blood tests and X-rays like this, but todays all about me. Who knows, when I get the results back, I might even go all out on a trip to the hospital. Id like to think Ive earned it. When contacted following his appointment, Burnet informed reporters that the medical treatment had left him riddled with guilt, announcing repeatedly that he would be less impulsive and reckless with his money in the future. 
1	NEW YORKFollowing a stormy 2004 season that some observers called nothing short of a disaster, the New York Mets have addressed the tidal wave of criticism by earmarking more than $53 million to pitching relief. 'We're doing all we can to salvage what's left of our team in this emergency situation,' Mets general manager Omar Minaya said of his team, which signed pitcher Pedro Martinez in recent weeks. 'We ask that everyone say a prayer for us as we attempt to rebuild this once-thriving franchise.' The Mets also signed outfielder Carlos Beltran, dedicating $117 million to shore up a defense that has recently been flooded with runs. 
3	Preparing the ground for more whistleblowersJon Rappoport In order to help prepare the ground, some education is required. This article is a backgrounder. The intention is to sweep aside the vaccine propagandists whose main thrust is: the US medical system is excellent, just fine, science is succeeding on all fronts, so why should we doubt vaccines; dont worry, be happy. In the wake of the CDC whistleblower scandal, many such defenders of the realm have emerged. Expressing generalized outrage and disbelief, they assure us that no doctor or healthy agency would do great harm to the population. They tell us that modern medicine, in all its aspects, is a wondrous land. They assure us that whatever the whistleblower, William Thompson, is saying about published research fraud and vaccineswell, its simply wrong. All is well. Rainbows and marshmallows. How little they know. How little they care. Documents within the privileged halls of the medical establishment prove them wrong. First and foremost among these documents is Dr. Barbara Starfields stunning July 26, 2000, review, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association: Is US health really the best in the world? Proper and elite credentials were crisply present and accounted for, all the way along the line. Journal of the American Medical Association. Dr. Starfield was a widely respected public health expert, working at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. Her conclusions? Every year, in the US, the medical system kills 225,000 people. Thats 2.25 MILLION killings per decade. Of these, FDA-approved medical drugs kill 106,000 Americans per year. Thats a MILLION killings per decade. In my 2009 interview with Dr. Starfield, she stated that, since her July 2000 publication, other researchers have pegged the death figures even higher. If you Google FDA, Why Learn About Adverse Drug Reactions, you will see, on the FDAs own website, a page where the annual 100,000-death figure is confirmed. Of course, the FDA takes absolutely no responsibility for this horrific fact. Being the sole US agency in charge of certifying drugs as safe, when those drugs kill 100,000 Americans per yearthe FDAs conscience doesnt waver an inch. To put it another way: what conscience? Want more? The citation is: BMJ June 7, 2012 (BMJ 2012:344:e3989). Author, Jeanne Lenzer. Lenzer refers to a report by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices: It calculated that in 2011 prescription drugs were associated with two to four million people in the US experiencing serious, disabling, or fatal injuries, including 128,000 deaths. The report called this one of the most significant perils to humans resulting from human activity. And here is the final dagger. The report was compiled by outside researchers who went into the FDAs own database of serious adverse [medical-drug] events. Given what Ive written here so far, alert readers will begin to wonder: how can these medical drugs kill so many people, when medical journals report, in thousands of published studies, that the drugs are safe? Ah yes: reliance on published drug-studies. The gold standard. This is what the professionals point to when challenged. This is the basis of their science. Its all a ruse. The published studies declaring the drugs safe are frauds. An insider among insiders confirms this. For 20 years, Dr. Marcia Angell was the editor of one of the most prestigious journals in the world; The New England Journal of Medicine. On January 15, 2009, the NY Review of Books published Dr. Angells devastating assessment of medical literature: 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. (Marcia Angell, MD, Drug Companies and Doctors: A story of Corruption. NY Review of Books, Jan. 15, 2009.) Here is another quote of a similar nature, also published in the NY Review of Books (May 12, 2001, Helen Epstein, Flu Warning: Beware of Drug Companies): Heres another quote from the same article: And finally, here is yet another statement from Marcia Angell, former editor of The New England Journal of Medicine: It turns out that the informational pipeline that feeds the entire perception of pharmaceutical medicine is a rank fraud. Sowhen CDC whistleblower William Thompson made a public statement, on August 27, admitting he and his co-authors cooked and buried vital data in a 2004 Pediatrics study on the MMR vaccine and autism, and when shocked observers rushed to claim there was really no problem and the official science was safe and true and good and right, and the CDC was innocent of wrongdoing and it was all a tempest in a teacup, they were entirely ignorant of the big picture, or they were lying through their teeth. Whistleblower Thompson was merely adding one more footnote about medical fraud to a massive and growing encyclopedia of fraud. The encyclopedia stands, dust-covered, on a remote shelf. The US government, the CDC, other public health agencies, doctors, medical schools, drug companies, and those execrable corporate front mentelevision media anchorsproceed apace, praising US medical science.

2	URGENT: Sheriff Joes Life Is In Danger... He Needs Our Support Sheriff Joe Arpaio is probably best known for standing behind the passing of Arizonas immigration enforcement law, the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act. In doing so, he has become the target for many dangerous criminals. According to recent reports, a Mexican drug cartel placed a $1 million bounty on the Sheriffs head, to take a stand against the battle of illegal immigration into the state. The call for Arpaios death reportedly went out via a large group of text message recipients. The announcement also offered a bonus for joining the cartel. According to Fox News, a source who received the message quickly turned it over to Arpaios office for investigation. The source of the threat is yet to be identified as it originated from a disposable cell phone, but authorities worry that wont stop someone from taking up the offer. Its going so many different places that our folks are looking at it and thinking, well, at any given point in time, it could land in front of some crazy person who thinks I can do that, claims Lisa Allen of the sheriffs department. What do you think? Should we be taking the threat very seriously? 
1	Citing space considerations, the need for a more forward-looking acquisition plan and community concern over severe electrical-outlet overcrowding, Milpitas city officials met with area resident Herb J. Fenton Monday to develop a sensible long-term plan for the controlled future growth of Herb J. Fenton. Milpitas, CA, resident Herb J. Fenton, seen here in front of his expanding, consumer-goods-filled home. City officials met with Fenton Monday in an effort to develop long-term solutions to the growing problem of Fenton sprawl. 'The issue of 'Fenton sprawl' is the most serious long-term civic planning challenge facing Milpitas,' said Bonnie Walker, president of the 'Fenton 2000' planning committee. 'Fenton's unregulated consumption, which in the past month alone has included a new motorcycle, minivan, stereo system, gas grill and patio set, puts him on a growth trajectory seven times that of the average U.S. consumer. Project that to the year 2010, and you begin to see the potential for disaster.' Throughout the five-hour, closed-door meeting, council members expressed a willingness to compromise with Fenton, though they sharply criticized him for what they termed 'a long history of reckless, unchecked growth.' Among Fenton's more questionable moves: the recent purchase of a small digital satellite dish to augment the large dish already in place; last month's expansion and renovation of his living room to make room for a new billiard table; and a projected May '98 in-ground swimming pool installation. Council members were particularly critical of Fenton's controversial recent purchase of an oversized trailer, a move he staunchly defended. 'I realize that an 18-foot trailer will greatly increase the density of my already overtaxed one-acre lot,' Fenton said. 'But let's be honest: My snowmobile and fishing boat aren't much good without a trailer to tow them. Growth, in this case, was absolutely unavoidable. Clearly, with their opposition to my new trailer, city council members are trying to curb my purchases not just of luxuries but of necessities, as well.' Council members also raised a number of serious Fenton-related storage issues, primarily the question of where he plans to put his new riding mower. 'As we all know, Mr. Fenton's tool shed is already full,' Walker said. 'And while the construction of a second tool shed to store the mower would be helpful, in the long run such a structure would only serve to aggravate the problem of unregulated Fentonian expansion.' Fenton said that now that his three children are all in their teens, the proposed second shed could be built on land currently occupied by the youths' childhood swingset. Such a plan, however, would require the approval of Fenton's wife Cheryl, who is believed to strongly oppose the plan because of the swingset's status as a family historical site. While Monday's meeting did not result in a comprehensive, workable Fenton containment plan, council members did conclude that a good deal of Fenton sprawl could be eliminated through consolidation. 'Instead of having a 27-inch television in every single room of the house, perhaps Mr. Fenton could opt for 32-inch televisions, but only in the living room, kitchen, master bedroom and breakfast nook,' Walker said. 'It's a quality-of-life issue. Bigger TVs with more channels, not more TVs. More heads on the VCR, not more VCRs. Only taping very special episodes of McMillan And Wife, not every episode. Simplify.' Fenton responded that such suggestions, while well-meaning, are unrealistic. 'Should I also stop buying the Gotham City-sized Tostitos corn chips? Should I stop buying 72-can packs of Pepsi? What will I put in my refrigerators then?' he said. Making a sole concession to the council, Fenton grudgingly agreed to hold a garage and rummage sale later this fall. 'I guess I could sell off a few things. We don't use the trampoline much anymore, and I'll probably never get around to fixing up my old riding mower now that I've got the new Toro,' he said. 'But no way I'm selling those golf clubsI still have to learn to play golf someday.' 
1	Following Gov. Scott Walkers recent endorsement of building a fence along the Canadian border, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) reportedly worried Monday that all the good foreign countries to wall off from the U.S. had already been taken by other GOP candidates. Sheesh, the rest of the guys snatched up the best countries right away and now all thats left to barricade ourselves off from are a few crummy islands, said Cruz, who appeared visibly distressed upon realizing that, in order to gain attention on the issue of immigration, he was now stuck with backing a plan to build a U.S. border wall in the middle of the Caribbean Sea to keep out undocumented Bahamian citizens. Boy, I should have jumped on a better option when I still had the chanceits down to slim pickings now. Hmm, maybe I can say it would be in the best interests of Americans to build a steel barrier across the Bering Strait to prevent Russian criminals from entering Alaska. That doesnt sound so bad.At press time, sources confirmed that Cruz reassured himself that there were still plenty of decent options among minority groups that he could tear into for causing all of the nations woes. 
3	Zika Freakout: The Hoax and the Covert Op ContinueBy Jon Rappoport If you want to hide anything on this planet, twist it into a (fake) story about a virus. Youre home free. This is my second article on the Zika-virus scam (article archive here). Ive been to these rodeos before: HIV, West Nile, Swine Flu, SARS, Ebola. In each case, a virus is blamed for illness and death that actually arises from other causes. The Zika virus, now being blamed for the birth of babies with very small heads and impaired brains, has been around for a long timelate 1940s, early 1950sand suddenly, without warning or reason, after inducing, at best, mild illness, its producing horrendous damage? This is called a clue. A clue that scientific liars are lying. Furthermore, many of the women who are giving birth to deformed babies test negative for the presence of the Zika Virus. So, what is causing babies to be born with very small heads and brain damage? While researching my first book in 1987-8, AIDS INC., I concluded: dont assume there is only one cause for illness. That can be very misleading. Various factors can combine to produce disease and death. For example, in the case of this Zika phenomenon: Brazil, the center of the Zika crisis, uses more pesticides than any nation in the world. Some of these are banned in 22 other countries. And as for babies born with smaller heads, here is a study from Environmental Health Perspectives (July 1, 2011), Urinary Biomarkers of Prenatal Atrazine Exposure: The presence versus absence of quantifiable levels of [the pesticide] atrazine or a specific atrazine metabolite was associated with fetal growth restriction and small head circumference Head circumference was also inversely associated with the presence of the herbicide metolachlor. (emphasis added) Atrazine and metolachlor are both used in Brazil. This is a case of suspicious correlation. A study posted in the US National Library of Medicine, Pertussis in young infants: a severe vaccine-preventable disease, spells it out: in late 2014, the [Brazilian] Ministry of Health announced the introduction of the Tdap vaccine for all pregnant women in Brazil. Obviously, pregnant women are the target group; they are giving birth to babies with smaller heads and brain damage, and the recommendation for them to take the vaccine was recent; 2014. Barbara Loe Fisher, of the National Vaccine Information Center, writes: Drug companies did not test the safety and effectiveness of giving influenza or Tdap vaccine to pregnant women before the vaccines were licensed in the U.S and there is almost no data on inflammatory or other biological responses to these vaccines that could affect pregnancy and birth outcomesThe Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lists influenza and Tdap vaccines as either Pregnancy Category B or C biologicals which means that adequate testing has not been done in humans to demonstrate safety for pregnant women and it is not known whether the vaccines can cause fetal harm or affect reproduction capacity. The manufacturers of influenza and Tdap vaccines state that human toxicity and fertility studies are inadequate and warn that the influenza and Tdap vaccines should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. (emphasis added) A town in Brazil has reported continuing elevated levels of dengue fever since the GE (genetically engineered) mosquitoes have been introduced to combat that disease. The scientific hypothesis is: the trickster GE bugs (males) will impregnate natural females, but no actual next generation will occur beyond the larval stage. However, this plummeting birth rate in mosquitoes is the only proof that the grand experiment is safe. No long-term health studies have been donethis is a mirror of what happened when GMO crops were introduced: no science, just bland assurances. Needless to say, without extensive lab testing, there is no way to tell what toxic elements these GE mosquitoes may actually be harboring, in addition to what researchers claim. Thats a major red flag. Wherever these GE mosquitoes have been introduced, or are about to be introduced, the human populations have not been consulted for their permission. Its all being done by government and corporate edict. Its human experimentation on a grand scale. Reuters, May 19, 2015, Brazil prosecutors seek $16 million from pesticide makers: Brazilian prosecutors said on Monday they would seek at least 50 million reais ($16.6 million) from multinational pesticide manufacturers for alleged safety violations at a collection facility for used pesticide containers Those manufacturers, prosecutors said, include the Brazilian units of BASF, DuPont, Monsanto, Nufarm, Syngenta, Adama, FMC and Nortox The charges come as scientists, regulators, public health officials and consumers increasingly complain that Brazils ascent as an agricultural powerhouse has led to unsafe and excessive use of pesticides. Reuters reported in April that at least four foreign manufacturers sell pesticides in Brazil that they are not allowed to sell in their home markets. (emphasis added) How convenient for these corporate giants to evade blame for horrific birth effectsout of nowhere a virus is touted as the cause. These are major factors in all illness and death, in the areas where they are prevalent (e.g., major parts of Brazil). Suppression of the immune system is the result, and anything that then comes down the pipeline, germs or manmade toxic substances, become catastrophic to the body. The Guardian, January 26, 2015, Brazil is badly losing the battle against Zika virus, says health minister: Sprays are now being given out to 400,000 pregnant women in Brazil. Naturally, the sprays are toxic. What better way to multiply the attack on mothers and their unborn children? For example, widely used organophosphates in sprays can be highly disruptive to the nervous system. Some or all of these six elements Ive listed, in combination, form a sustained attack on human life. And as I keep stressing, the virus becomes the formidable cover story that conceals the truth. And dont forget the Rio Olympic Games, coming up in August. There are multiple scenarios which could play out in front of a global television audience. Will Zika be pushed as some sort of worldwide pandemic? Will a Zika vaccine be magically discovered and rushed into production, in time to show (as an advertisement) lines of people dutifully trudging up to receive shots? Every fake epidemic is, in part, designed to create fear and induce blind compliance to medical and government dictates. The germ is positioned as the tiny terrorist in this stage play. In my first book, AIDS INC.(1988), I indicated that covert medical ops are the most dangerous, because they appear to be politically neutral, they fly under no flag, and they claim to forward only humanitarian aims. But in fact, modern Rockefeller Medicine is built as a vast partner in the Globalization of the planet. Its vision is a universal in-utero-to-cradle-to-grave system for the human race: every human walks a bleak lifelong path of disease-diagnosis after diagnosis, receiving toxic drugs and vaccines at every turn, which weaken his body and mind, and make him unable to consider what is happening outside his perimeter of suffering or resist political totalitarianism. Medical freedom means: the freedom to refuse medical care, and its based on knowledge of destructive effects. This freedom must win, against any odds. Official science is a contradiction in terms, and a grand illusion. (To read about Jons mega-collection, Power Outside The Matrix, click here.)

1	According to a study published this week in the American Journal Of Sociology, the average American has intercourse with upwards of 9 million imagined sexual partners over the course of his or her lifetime. From their teenage years onward, most individuals have hundreds of thousands of fantasized sexual partners every year, beginning with attractive teachers and classmates, and eventually expanding to wholly dreamt-up relations with good-looking coworkers or people on the subway, said lead researcher Kevin Douglas, adding that even married individuals had upwards of 4 million completely imagined sexual partners outside of wedlock. And the factor of age is minimal, as people well into their golden years were more than capable of sexual intercourse with dozens of partners in their mind every single day. Douglas added that a significant proportion of Americans also conjured up sexual relations with two or more partners simultaneously 2.5 million times. 
1	From the moment he was let loose in a local dog park Saturday, golden retriever and licensed Seeing Eye dog Biscuit reportedly blew off some steam by jumping up to lick people's faces, urinating on smaller dogs, and chasing almost everything that moved across his field of vision. 'At first he was calm as could be, just leading his owner to a bench and letting her take a seat, but as soon as that guide-harness came off, holy fuck, that dog just went goddamn ballistic,' said onlooker Ray Seward, 54, adding that Biscuit was 'absolutely going to town' on every dog in the park. 'That thing took off like a fucking rocket and sprinted the entire perimeter of the park six times before beelining directly toward this toddler and completely flattening her without even missing a step. Inevitably, the place cleared out, and then he just sat down and barked, nonstop, until he'd tired himself out.' Sources confirmed Biscuit was last seen calmly walking back to his owner, where he lay down at her feet and waited until she was ready to be led back home. 
2	Fox News Host Tells Trump To F*ck Off So Donald Does THIS Since the GOP Debates two weeks ago, Donald Trump has been the most talked about Republican candidate by far. The media has been covering his feud with Megyn Kelly, who did not hide her feelings for Trump during the event, and has since been criticized for being unprofessional and stirring the pot to raise her own ratings. Of course, Trump has gone on to call Kelly a bimbo. Trump then went on to slam Frank Luntz, who attempted to take down the GOP favorite with an anti-Trump focus group. @FrankLuntz is a low-class slob who came to my office looking for consulting work and I had zero interest, the legendary businessman tweeted. Now he picks anti-Trump panels! Luntz fired back at Trump, claiming that he is delivering a big fyou to American elites. But fyou doesnt solve anything, Luntz continued. Fyou doesnt make life any better. Fyou makes you feel good, but it doesnt get you where you need to go. Fyou doesnt make America strong. Trump went on to claim that the comments were pathetic, and that Luntz would be fired immediately if he were Fox News President. What do you think? Are you sick of the media unfairly attacking Trump? 
3	Update: Florida Woman Who Lives Off-Grid Forced to Connect to Public WaterLily Dane After her lifestyle was featured on a local news channel, Robin got an unpleasant visit: a code enforcement officer showed up and slapped an uninhabitable property sign on her door. The city claims that Robin violated the International Property Maintenance Code because she relies on rain water instead of the city water system and solar panels instead of the electric grid. On February 20, Robin spent nearly four hours in a compliance hearing, during which Special Magistrate Harold Eskin looked through the codes Robin supposedly violated. Off the Grid News reported that the Magistrate, who spent several hours reviewing the code, admitted it is unreasonable but said he had to make the ruling he did: Eskin said that some of the other violations regarding electricity and sewer may be valid, but because the city may not have followed due process procedures, he would not consider them at the time. Robin knows her legal battles with the city are not over, but she told Off the Grid News that she hopes to win and set a precedent for others: She said she has no intention of complying with the order to connect to the city water supply: 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! 
1	After more than four decades of testing in tandem with other drugs, placebo gained approval for prescription use from the Food and Drug Administration Monday. Science & Health 'For years, scientists have been aware of the effectiveness of placebo in treating a surprisingly wide range of conditions,' said Dr. Jonathan Bergen of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. 'It was time to provide doctors with this often highly effective option.' In its most common form, placebo is a white, crystalline substance of a sandy consistency, obtained from the evaporated juice of the Saccharum officinarum plant. The FDA has approved placebo in doses ranging from 1 to 40,000 milligrams. The long-awaited approval will allow pharmaceutical companies to market placebo in pill and liquid form. Eleven major drug companies have developed placebo tablets, the first of which, AstraZeneca's Sucrosa, hits shelves Sept. 24. 'We couldn't be more thrilled to finally get this wonder drug out of the labs and into consumers' medicine cabinets,' said Tami Erickson, a spokeswoman for AstraZeneca. 'Studies show placebo to be effective in the treatment of many ailments and disorders, ranging from lower-back pain to erectile dysfunction to nausea.' Pain-sufferers like Margerite Kohler, who participated in a Sucrosa study in March, welcomed the FDA's approval. 'For years, I battled with strange headaches that surfaced during times of stress,' Kohler said. 'Doctors repeatedly turned me away empty-handed, or suggested that I try an over-the-counter pain relieveras if that would be strong enough. Finally, I heard about Sucrosa. They said, 'This will work,' and it worked. The headaches are gone.' Researchers diagnosed Kohler with Random Occasional Nonspecific Pain and Discomfort Disorder (RONPDD), a minor but surprisingly pervasive medical condition that strikes otherwise healthy adults. RONPDD is only one of many disorders for which placebo has proven effective, Bergen said. 'Placebo has been successful in the treatment of everything from lower-back pain to erectile dysfunction to nausea,' Bergen said. 'That's the beauty, and the mystery, of placebo. It's all-purpose. Think of it like aspirin, but without any of the analgesic properties.' The FDA is expected to approve the drug for a wide range of mood disorders later this year. According to Bergen, initial research has shown placebo to be effective in the treatment of bipolar disorder, depression, dysthymia, panic disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, seasonal affective disorder, and stress. As industry analysts predict the drug's sales will top $25 billion in the first year, the approval of placebo is expected to unleash one of the pharmaceutical industry's biggest marketing battles to date. An advertisement for AstraZeneca's placebo Sucrosa. GlaxoSmithKline expects to have two versions of placebo on the shelves in late December. One, a 40-milligram pill called Appeasor, will be marketed to patients 55 and over, while the other, Inertra, designed for middle-aged women, is a liquid that comes in a 355-milliliter can, and is cola-flavored. Eli Lilly plans a $3 million marketing campaign for its 400-milligram tablet, Pacifex. 'All placebos are not the same,' Eli Lilly spokesman Giles French said. 'Pacifex is the only placebo that's green and shaped like a triangle. Pacifex: A doctor gave it to you.' Despite such ringing endorsements, some members of the medical community have spoken out against placebo's approval, saying that the drug's wide range of side effects is a cause for concern. 'Yes, placebo has benefits, but studies link it to a hundred different side effects, from lower-back pain to erectile dysfunction to nausea,' drug researcher Patrick Wheeler said. 'Placebo wreaked havoc all over the body, with no rhyme or reason. Basically, whichever side effects were included on the questionnaire, we found in research subjects.' Added Wheeler: 'We must not introduce placebo to the public until we pinpoint exactly how and why it works. The drug never should have advanced beyond the stage of animal testing, which, for some reason, was totally ineffective in determining its effectiveness.' In spite of the confusing data, drug makers say placebo is safe. 'The only side effect consistent in all test subjects was a negligible onean almost imperceptible elevation in blood-glucose levels,' French said. 'It's unfair to the American people to withhold a drug so many of them desperately think they need.'

'I'd really like to go, but I just can't justify waking up super early and packing a bag and catching a flight and stuff,' said the defensive tackle, promising during the call to leave everything on the field. 'Anyway, you just need to know that I go up the middle pretty hard. And I do some tackling. You can probably find my 40 time if you look around online. If not, I just did a yard in a second or something, so you can just multiply that by 40, I guess.' Thomas also said he was willing to perform medical examinations on himself, although as far as he could tell from his couch, everything 'seemed fine.'

3	U.S. Throws Kurds To The Wolves, Launches Program To Roll Back Kurdish, Not ISIS, Advances In SyriaBy Brandon Turbeville It has been said by RPI advisor John Laughland that it is better to be an enemy of the Americans than their friend. If you are their enemy, they might try to buy you; but if you are their friend, they will definitely sell you. Regardless of whether or not one can apply such logic to every interaction with the United States, it is a lesson that the YPG Kurds are learning in Syria. The YPG have long been considered as one of the warmer forces in terms of its relation to the United States. While certainly not the equivalent of the Iraqi Barzani Kurds who are closely connected to the NATO intelligence apparatus, the YPG has been willing to accept help from any who are interested in defeating ISIS, be that the Syrian government or the United States. Whether the YPG was unable to see that U.S. assistance in the fight against ISIS was nothing more than a smokescreen for American support of the organization or whether the YPG was willing to work with the United States because it believed by doing so it would eventually seize a Kurdistan in Northern Syria is not fully known at this time. Regardless, the YPG seems to have outlived its usefulness to the United States. The YPG has already seized much of the border with Turkey and effectively cutting off ISIS supply lines coming from Turkish territory except for a small corridor now known as the Jarablus corridor one of the only areas ISIS supplies and terrorists can funnel their way into to Syria. Yet, even after having made a number of attempts to forcibly keep ISIS supply lines open the implementation of a No-Fly Zone, the insertion of American soldiers into the Jarablus safe zone, and a Turkish air war on the Syrian Kurds, the United States seems to be out of covert ideas and is now moving to an overt operation against fighting forces who are not only fighting ISIS but are having significant victories against them and who, only weeks ago, were considered allies, even if they were held at arms length. The United States is now preparing to implement a plan allegedly originated by the Turkish government which involves training more Arab rebels fighting the Assad regime (translation: jihadist fanatics who will rape and behead anything in their path) in order to seal the Turkish-Syrian border from both ISIS and the YPG. Of course, any claims from the United States or Turkey professing a desire to shut down ISIS supply routes can be dismissed out of hand since it has been these two countries that have provided a massive portion of the aid to ISIS since the beginning and even before the Syrian crisis got off the ground. What is interesting, however, is that both the United States and Turkey openly admit that the plan is to prevent the YPG from gaining ground in Northern Syria and sealing off the border themselves. There is no doubt that it has been the Kurds that have been the most effective fighting force against ISIS in Northern Syria. There is also no doubt that Kurdish success on the borders of Turkey is intolerable for the Islamist Turkish leadership concerned that Syrian Kurd success will equal a union and eventual military campaign by Turkish Kurds, possibly in coordination with Syrian and even Iraqi Kurdish organization. Turkey has, for some time, been launching attacks against Syrian Kurds under the guise of fighting ISIS and the United States has looked the other way, another indication that the Turkish agenda and the American one are largely one and the same. As the Business Insider reports, A newly empowered, US-backed Arab rebel brigade aimed at enabling larger groups of Arab forces fighting in Syria would presumably serve as a counterweight to Kurdish territorial ambitions in the north. Thats according to Aaron Stein, a Turkey expert and senior resident fellow at the Atlantic Council who spoke with Business Insider on Wednesday. That, in turn, would allow the US-led anti-ISIS coalition to stem the YPGs advances a primary concern for Turkey without sacrificing ongoing efforts to seal off Turkeys southern border to jihadists. Whether the YPG will actually listen to the US is a different story. But the US is effectively telling the YPG to observe Turkeys red line, Stein said, referring to the Turkish leaderships insistence that the Kurds remain east of the Euphrates. Wladimir van Wilgenburg, a Kurdish affairs expert embedded in Iraqi Kurdistan, largely echoed those sentiments. Most likely the Turkish plan is to insert these forces into the Azaz border strip and to prevent YPG expansion into these areas in the future, van Wilgenburg told Business Insider on Thursday, referring to the northern Syrian town of Azaz through which Turkey funnels weapons and supplies to the rebels it supports in Aleppo. He added: Turkey wants to prevent Kurdish expansion and stop them from linking the Kurdish administrations in Afrin and Kobani. Could it be any more obvious? As the Business Insider article describes, Turkey and the U.S. want to train another jihadist group to be inserted into the Jarablus corridor in order to act as reinforcements for the ISIS forces under attack there. Thus, the YPG will be prevented from closing the last real ISIS supply line into Syria from Turkey. It also allows for actual force to be used by the U.S.-led coalition against ISIS against the YPG. But there is another question that arises now that the U.S. is throwing the YPG to the wolves. The YPG has, so far, been open to whatever support it can find wherever that support may come from the United States, Syria, or even various rebel groups. Recently, it has even made overtures toward Russia and suggested that it would be open and willing to accept support from the Russians in addition to anyone else willing to assist. With the U.S. showing its true colors to the Kurdish fighters, how long will it be before the Russians begin providing covert support to the YPG, opening a new front in the proxy war? Still, it appears the YPG may be smarter than the average bear, openly stating that it is willing to accept assistance from both the United States and the Russians. Back in November, Sherzad Yazidi, Rojava administration representative in Sulimanyia told Politico, We welcome a strategic relationship with both the US and Russia. One wouldnt be at the expense of the other. The YPG has often been used by the United States to create division within Syrian society and continues to be used for that purpose. The ever-present promises of a Kurdistan in Syria have tempted the YPG to work closer with the U.S. in hopes that it might achieve a Syrian Kurdish enclave in Northern Syria. Thus, the YPG has been willing to play a number of games with the Americans so long as it sees the light at the end of the tunnel. But the YPG has also accepted U.S. help for a much more noble reason the fight against ISIS in Syria. In that regard, the organization is willing to accept help from anyone anytime. It has also demonstrated a willingness to work with the Syrian government and avoid societal separation (against the will of the United States). Thus, the American-YPG interaction seems to resemble more of a determined child poking at an insect whose movements he can direct but never fully control. Still, the insect has found itself on the childs playground and, should the child choose to squash it, it has the means to do so. Still, the cooperation between the U.S. and the YPG may take a very different form if the U.S. led coalition begins funneling more hardware and jihadists against the Kurds for the benefit of Erdogan and his lunatic fantasies of becoming the new Ottoman Empire. If the U.S. throws the YPG under the bus, we can only wonder if the YPG will continue to work with America at all or if it will simply become another card in Russias deck. Or will it continue to try and pick the best assistance from the menu of international actors willing to talk to it? At this point, only time will tell. The only thing for sure is that Perfide Angeleterre is alive and well.

2	Man Comes Forward Revealing Obama Is Gay, Details Their Sexual Relationship Recently, an Illinois man has come forward with claims that he engaged in a sexual relationship with President Obama in the late nineties. According to Larry Sinclair, he met Obama at a nightclub in 1999. Reportedly, the two men did cocaine in a limo, where he performed oral sex on the future President. The instance did not stand alone. Two days later, Sinclair claims that he performed oral sex on Barack in his hotel room. He has even published a book called Cocaine, Sex, Lies Murder, detailing his relationship with Obama. Since the book was released, the President has attempted to paint Sinclair as a liar. What do you think? Could Sinclairs story be true? 
1	Saying that he always intended for the films events to fit into a single linear timeline, director Francis Ford Coppola revealed in an interview this week that The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, and The Godfather Part III all took place within the same narrative universe. The 74-year-old auteur explained that although each film can be appreciated as a stand-alone project, he in fact directed the movies with the conscious goal of weaving all three together into one cohesive world, dropping in subtle clues throughout to suggest that certain details and even entire story arcs within the movies were connected. Observant fans sometimes point out that a character named Michael Corleone appears in all three movies and that hes played by Al Pacino each time, and I can assure you thats no coincidence, said Coppola, who noted that all the puzzle pieces are there for anyone who looks hard enough at the three motion pictures. In fact, those arent three different people, but rather one character who appears three times. Michael in New York in the first film, Michael in Lake Tahoe in the second one, then Michael back in Manhattan in the thirdtheyre the very same man. I did a similar thing having Carlos death in The Godfather carry over into the next two films, Coppola continued. Youll notice he doesnt show up in any of the others. Thats because hes still dead in this one continuous storyline. Meanwhile, Connie is his widow, which is me kind of winking at the opening wedding scene with her and Carlo from the first film. Its subtle, but once you pick up on a detail like this, youll start to notice many other little connections. Coppola said that once he conceived of the idea of placing the movies in the same universe, he made a point of theatrically hinting at the web of intersections between all three. In addition to keeping the same characters from movie to movie, Coppola noted that viewers who pay close attention can catch other continuities among the three works, from the music playing in the background, to common phrases and manners of speech, right down to the titles of the films themselves. Indeed, rather than viewing them as separate tales of organized crime in America, Coppola said he would prefer that people instead consider The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, and The Godfather Part III as a unified trilogy, or saga, portraying the story of a single Mafia family over time. Over the entire course of production, however, Coppola admitted that keeping the single interconnected world consistent became more of a challenge, especially in the third filmwhich he said was meant to be the final movie in the Godfather universe, temporally speakingas it required viewers to make the complex logical leap of recognizing that the crime family depicted in the late 1970s was still the same crime family from the 1940s and 1950s from the earlier films. Basically, all the people with the last name Corleone who appear in the films are supposed to be related to each other, said Coppola, recalling how during production he actually took the time to painstakingly map out the entire fictitious Corleone family tree that runs through all three projects. For instance, Santino Jr. from the third film is the grandson of Vito from the first film, played by Marlon Brando, who is meant to be an older version of Robert de Niros character of Vito Corleone from the second film. It sounds confusing, but believe me, this is something we actually planned out. For example, if you pay close attention, Marlon and Robert never appear on screen together, he added. That may seem trivial at first, but then it hits you: theyre playing the same person but at different ages. Noting that the nods to a common narrative were Easter eggs intended only for the real diehards, Coppola emphasized that the movies still held up individually, though he assured audiences that, after several viewings, many of them would pick up on details such as the fact that almost every character in the three films has ties to the Sicilian Mafia. We planned the films with the big picture in mind, but we always tried not to spell it out so much that it became a gimmick, and instead left it to fans to discover the connections themselves, the writer-director said. I always hoped that when people took a step back, theyd come to see how these three films sort of mesh togetherhow, if you want to think of it in this way, they are actually just one long story made up of three parts. Fans shouldnt get too carried away, though, and look for elements of The Godfather in other movies Ive worked on, continued Coppola, confirming that the Godfather storyline is only limited to the three films with Godfather in their name. For example, Apocalypse Now is a film I made thats not part of the Godfather universe, which I tried to emphasize by not having Robert Duvalls character Bill Kilgore mention the Mafiajust like Tom Hagen never mentions Vietnam. I was very careful about that kind of stuff. Coppola did note, however, that Fredo Corleone from the first Godfather and Fredo Corleone from the second were supposed to be entirely different characters, and admitted that the repeated name was an error he noticed only after the films release. 
1	Almost two decades after Michael Hollings was put on death row for the murders of 76 men, women, and children across Missouri, evidence uncovered by an exclusive selfnews investigation has exonerated him of three of the brutal slayings, restoring his dignity when he thought all had been lost. Im so happy to finally have my good name back, Hollings told reporters Wednesday from his cell at Potosi Correctional Center. I always told people I could never, ever kill more than 73 people, but when youre locked in a cage all day, aint no one going to hear you out. I wish Mama could have seen this, added a tearful Hollings, in reference to his mother and fourth victim, Barbara Watts-Hollings. Shed be real proud of her boy today. Frustrated by the incompetence of his public defender but determined to prove he was innocent of a negligible percentage of the horrific crimes for which he received a death sentence, Hollings wrote to reporters from this newspaper last year, confident they would work tirelessly to see justice done. The selfnewss painstaking investigation, conducted by more than 50 dedicated journalists, revealed that prosecutors suppressed key evidence supporting Hollings claim that on the same night he supposedly killed three 7-year-old girls at a slumber party in Blue Springs, he was in fact tearing out the organs of a jogger in the Columbia area. In addition, a DNA test released to reporters by an anonymous law enforcement source demonstrated conclusively that the semen taken from the three girls did not match the semen deposited by Hollings in the mouths, rectums, and eye sockets of his other victims. Its hard when everyone thinks you did something terrible that you know you didnt do, said Hollings, adding that it made him sick to think of preying upon anyone under the age of 10. But Im glad at least you reporter guys believed in me when no one else would. Now I can walk around with my head held higher than its been in a long time. A lot higher, added Hollings, cracking a smile. 
2	James Woods Posts On Twitter The Disaster That Was #Obama In his last term as president, it is clear that Barack Obama has lost the respect of our men and women in uniform. And who could blame them, when he continues to disrespect them? Now, actor James Woods has had enough, and hes speaking out against Obama after a group of Americas military men and women were forced to be humiliated by Iran. When I see Americans on their knees at gunpoint by Iranians, it makes me sick, he tweeted. Shame on you, #BarackObama #IranDeal. All jawboning by #Kerry and other numbskulls aside, this photo will forever represent the disaster that was #Obama, he continued, tweeting a picture of captive American sailors standing on the deck of an Iranian ship. But Woods didnt stop there. After one of his followers argued that the sailors somehow deserved punishment, he shot back with vengeance. No, they absolutely do not, Woods concluded. Their CIC is a born appeaser and apologist. The fish rots from the head. #ObamaFail #IranDeal. For the record this failure is the Commander-in-Chiefs. It was in no way the failure of our brave sailors. We support our military, he added. Woods has been speaking out about Obamas deal with Iran for some time now, claiming that Obama has gone from complete presidential failure to absolute embarrassment. What do you think? Do you agree with Woods? James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) January 13, 2016 
2	School President Destroys Michelle Obamas Lunch Plan: She Was Elected By No One If you want to see how the Obamas are abusing their power, look no further than the strict guidelines imposed on public schools by Michelle, in an attempt to force schools to provide healthy lunches to todays youth. Not surprisingly, the extreme implementation of the plan received backlash from both students and faculty. Both parties took to social media to complain about the high costs of implementation and minimal selections of food they were being provided. Some even rebelled and decided to bring their own lunches instead. Rick Petfalski, a school board president, voiced his frustrations publicly, claiming that he will leave the program to avoid following the guidelines, even if they lose federal funding to pay for meals. According to Petfalski, the guidelines are a government intrusion. We believe that proper food nutrition and meal portion guidelines are best decided at a local level, Petfalski told EAG News. His comments were the result of the school losing money because fewer children were purchasing meals. According to Petfalski, thanks to the programs regulations, his districts food service was headed toward a $54,000 deficit. By leaving the program we will not be required to follow these onerous guidelines, pushed by and large by Michelle Obama, who last I checked has been elected by no one, Petfalski said. What do you think of Petfalskis comments? Do you agree with him? 
2	These Marines just showed us what it means to be true Americans This week, the nation continues to mourn the loss of five police officers in Dallas who were murdered by a racist gunman during a protest. The New York Times reports that the heavily armed sniper who gunned down police officers in downtown Dallas specifically set out to kill as many white officers as he could. As it turns out, the shooter was a military veteran who had served in Afghanistan, and he kept bomb-making materials in his home. The gunman took a peaceful demonstration against police shootings to a devastating scene of violence and hatred. Authorities said 25-year-old Micah Johnson was not tied to any protest or political group. Still, his Facebook account shows that he supports the New Black Panther Party. Three other people were arrested in connection with the shooting, though officers have not named them or confirmed why they are being held. Demonstrations continued Friday in cities across the county, with one of the largest taking place in Atlanta. Thousands of people who were protesting police abuse actually brought traffic to a standstill. 
3	Secession Movements IntensifySARTRE The immediate impression is that a pervasive discontent, shared by legions of subjects, who want independence and self-determination, will be hard to derail. When European autocratic and aristocrats ruled, the only option was revolution. Today the descendants of the old regimes still wield power under the guise of democratically elected authorities. However, separatist sentiment does not mean the same to every splinter group. Examine Europes Latest Secession Movement: Venice, for a telling indicator. Next, look at the more widely reported effort, in the land of Braveheart William Wallace. Scottish secession remains unlikely, but momentum is with the schismatics provides a more stately viewpoint from the Commonwealth. A video from the Carnegie Council gives a spin in Which Separatist Movements Will Succeed, which plays down the urgent motivation for FREEDOM for an evolutionary approach. An essay out of Wharton, Is Secession the Answer? The Case of Catalonia, Flanders and Scotland, points out the obvious, while illustrating the problematic. In the Spanish situation, by contrast, the establishment would have you believe the militant Basques ETA nationalists harbor violent resolve. The YouTube Thousands March In Spain In Support Of ETA, reports that the EU labels this movement as terrorists. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the Catalan Sovereignty Claim Blocked by Spain Constitutional Court, is but a spillover effort to discredit Catalonias claim. Sovereignty is not contemplated in our constitution for nationalities and regions that make up the state and no one can break the principle of the indissoluble unity of the Spanish Nation, the ruling said. Such illustrations all exhibit unique local concerns and grievances, while sharing a basic distrust of national authority. What stands out is an anserine eagerness to remain part of the EU and NATO. This factor may be a distinctively European trait, which seems to be lacking in the proper understanding that the surrender of national authority to a body of central banksters, social technocrats and empire military mercenaries is the fundamental cause of popular dissatisfaction. Pat Buchanan in the article, Is Red State America Seceding?, provides numerous other European examples of discontent, then goes on to cite secession initiatives in the United States. It is striking that our countrys unique experience has a shape difference from the blue-blooded patricians clashes that mark the history of Europe. Because of this difference, the indigenous cultures on the continent have never developed the same passion for individual liberty, which is inborn in the American revolutionary spirit. Applying the same principles defended in the View from the Mount essay, Secession Movement Ready to Take Hold, would serve our European cousins well, in breaking up the EU and their NWO oppression. Libertarian and author L. Neil Smith argues, What happened in America in the 1860s was a war of secession, a war of independence, no different in principle from what happened in America in the 1770s and 1780s. Compare most of the secession movements in the 21th century as half measure efforts that are not willing to take on the yoke of the globalist central banking financial system. The lessons presented in the Radical Reactionary article, Representation, Secession and Taxation, should be applied and adopted by the European secession movements. Discontent is not enough to overthrow the tyrants, who have definitively proven, that a European Union based upon top down authoritarianism is a lawful substitute for locally ruled government based upon common ethics and cultural heritage. The dramatic rise in opposition to the ruling elites is most encouraging in the eternal struggle against despotism. However, the European socialist welfare model has produced generations of soft stock and irresponsible subjects. Surrendering national sovereignty was the monumental failure of the post-war era. Open borders to a confederation of dissimilar ethnic groups, attracts the disparate and incongruent, which builds even more pressure for secession. As it stands today, the prospects for successful secession movements to attain their independence and autonomy are slim because each are fragmented. The correct and necessary element for separation, must be based upon the dissolution of the European Union and the elimination of the central banking system under the control of the international banksters. Countries need to exercise their proper authority to coin their own currencies and maintain low taxation levels that fund minimum governmental functions. While such a goal and objective is justified, the globalist controllers will not allow a serene exit from the monolith that they created. Marginal regional self-rule may eventually be reluctantly recognized, only if the basic leviathan structure remain intact and accepted by disgruntled camps. Notwithstanding, that approach can and will never bring about a restoration of national self-determination. It is time for secession movements to unite and coalesce around a few fundamental principles, which they all share. The regional concerns are issues for local administration. Taking on the monster of globalist governance is a universal task. Consequently, the undertaking domestically is to build groundswell defiance that moves past a modest grassroots opposition to incorporate the bulk of the rapidly declining middle class. This genuine moral majority must be willing to marginalize the federal government and restore the rightful authority of individual state jurisdiction. If timid and docile Europeans are engaging in secession movements in such significant numbers, what is the excuse for industrious and energetic Americans from doing the same? This was the country for the home of the brave. Now is the time to restore that outlook with direct action.

3	Are You Awake? Writing ContestDavid Knight It is within you, and within you only, that can elevate you beyond such density to bask in love and light. Here you will be refreshed, rejuvenated and revitalized far greater than a so-called holiday of a lifetime ever could. If one stays constantly in the exterior world of the physical and material, then one could be described as living in slumber. Yes, one can walk, talk and use their senses and yet it is as if the heart lies unconscious, like in a coma or deep sleep. The body, being like a garment of clothes wrapped around your Soul, will arise from sleep, hopefully work and often toil throughout the day whilst the mind will constantly be thinking. This is what most would call living; but in fact it just exists. It is quite clear and apparent that to embark upon your own journey of truth, no matter what color, creed, country of residence you live or even the religion or faith that you follow, your heart needs to be re-awakened beyond so-called reality of the physical world. In essence, all that you see, hear, touch, taste and smell are but reflections of the joy and the eternal wonderment that is within you. All are magnified way beyond the comprehension of most human beings thought process because everlasting bliss and peace cannot be found in the physical or denser realm in which you currently reside. What is needed is not man made, for this would be impermanent and fade away. Only the resonance and vibration of love can motivate, lead, carry, help, assist, rescue, console, heal, nurture, forgive, and remember itself and all these as one. Love does not enforce or cajole another to see a particular viewpoint or reason to exist. It can only guide and try to encourage the connection to ones heart to beat to another tune and another frequency away from doubt, darkness and false pain. These words may be like a new spark that ignites your fire within, just like a universal source of power and energy that jump starts your heart into action, youre new re-action. When you become cognizant of your realization, goal and purpose, it will be like an anesthetist re-awakening you after an operation. At first your mind can be fuzzy, unfocused and your vision unclear. Then, in what may only appear to be a short moment of time, your true vision and sight will return. The scene, the picture, the pathway ahead for you as an individual and also as a member of society will dawn upon you. You will look upon the Sun that rises and it will warm your face and heart. Your very being will smile and radiate with joy for your illusion and delusions will disappear like a rain cloud. Youre Soul, now becoming enlightened and lightened will beam with joy. The colors of the rainbow will shine and spiral both near and far. All this and more is within your grasp, as if inches away from your fingertips and all you need to do is to ask for it, desire it and believe it with all of your heart. It is the Soul, the individual that can determine far more than the mind likes to make you think and believe. This is why you must free the mind of negative thoughts and traits. Do not succumb to the Cannot, will not, or shall not for all this does is to restrict you, attempting to make the connection to the truth weaker. It cannot ever break but your freewill clouds the issue and even attempts to deny who, what and why you are. Remember, we are all one and this cannot ever be diminished or erased. So, whatever youre current circumstances or situation it is yourself who has the power, so much more power than you could imagine. You can channel this into amazing gifts to help yourself and others too. There will be tests, trials and tribulations too but these will be embarked and taken on with endeavor, fortitude, perseverance, compassion and understanding. These will make you even stronger. When you are hurt, criticized or condemned by another, forgive and forget. Likewise, do not dwell or succumb to ego when you assist or help another either. As I have said before, forget the good that you do too. Many, many people and Souls do courageous and brave acts each and every day. They are unrecognized faces who have hearts that swell with love pumping through their veins. They do not need or hold medals or certificates to display their acts of kindness. Instead, within themselves they know the truth. They have knowledge and experience which gives them wisdom, this is then shared through their hands and voices both freely and openly. I am not saying that I want or need you to be a hero for me or your fellow man (or anything like this). But rather, state that it is down to you all whether or not you even want to change a fragment of your daily lives and life that you lead today. Ask yourself if you are living for yourself. Ask yourself whether you could have been a better father, mother, son or daughter, relative or friend in the last hour, day, month or year. More importantly, do you want to be? Again choices have been and always will be your own. All I am saying is that the opportunities are there for you all, every minute of every day for you to express the true love that you each surely are. So, will you arise to the challenges that lie ahead? Or, will you still slumber (and rest) to resist your lifes many tasks and tests? I am calling and waiting for you too. Are you awake?

2	This ONE Secret Will Make Sure Your Jeans Fit Perfectly. Every Woman Should Know About This Jeans sag in all the wrong places, often. It can be very difficult to find a properly fitting pair of jeans that compliment a woman in all the right places. But one woman, named Megh, figured out the secret to making sure that every pair of jeans became the perfect pair. And this is how. Megh began emailing with her favorite blogger, Heather, writer on the fashion blogger, Pleats and Ruffles. Heather had Megh take her jeans and turn them inside out, giving an insight into the seams that give the denim shape. Once theyre inside out, you can pin the jeans in any way you want using safety pins. Saggy in the wrong spot? Tighten it up! Doesnt hug your curves properly? Use pins to take in the outer side of the jeans or the inseam. Then, you can use a sewing machine to make the changes permanent. Everyone woman needs to know about this trick! Thanks Megh and Heather! 
2	Elvis Fans Have Been Waiting 4 Decades For This... Its Finally Happening Elvis always loved having people over to his home. His Graceland served as a beacon of his style in Tennessee. When Elvis would invite friends and family over to his home he would have them stay at a local hotel. When Elvis passed away Graceland was closed to the public until 1982. This is when people began to flock to Graceland to see how the king lived. Graceland is a truly beautiful place and It is well known that Elvis lived a marvelous life. Now Graceland is becoming even better. A new guesthouse hotel will be opening up as Gracelands neighbor. The hotel is going to be huge with over 400 rooms, two amazing restaurants, and a huge theater that can seat almost 500 people. The theater is going to have amazing leather seats and the other amenities of the hotel have yet to be released. Elvis would have loved to have full hotel of his own to have his friends and family stay at. The hotel is now accepting reservations for its opening weekend of October 27th. Im sure they are selling fast because I have a reservation myself. The southern hospitality that the hotel will attempt to recreate would make Elvis proud. They are trying to make this hotel completely in Elvis image. Elvis ex-wife was one of the main designers of the hotel and I cant think of anyone better for the job. She knew Elvis better than anyone ever, she knew his style, his grace, and how nice of a person he was. Will you be reserving a room?

2	This Strange Disease Is Spreading Quickly, Officials Want You To Avoid THIS Animal At All Costs According to reports, the state of Florida has had 9 cases of leprosy so far this year. Now, residents are being told to avoid contact with armadillos because they could be the cause. Florida has about 10 cases of leprosy each year on average. This year blows that average out of the water. Armadillos, which are common around the state, are naturally infected with bacterial diseases. While the CDC admits that there is a low chance of contracting the disease, they advise that residents stay away. The Department of Health deputy press secretary warned, Extended close contact with infected armadillos may also pose exposure risk to Hansens. For many cases, the exposure causing the infection is unknown because it can take months or years for illness to develop. Generally, you dont want to be playing with wild animals anyway. Do you have family or friends in Florida? Be sure to share this with them! 
2	Sarah Palin Gets Viciously Attacked By Black Rapper, But Watch How She Responds If you are going to target former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, you should know that she doesnt go down without a fight. Time and time again, shes proven that shes not afraid to speak her mind in light of controversy, and she very often wins. That is a lesson that female rap artist Azealia Banks is learning very quickly. Recently, Azealia Banks made headlines when she published a series of Twitter posts calling for a gang-rape of the Republican leader. Though she has since deleted the tweets, screenshots are available online if you have the stomach to search for them. What we can tell is that Banks called for Palin to be raped, forced to perform other acts, be disfigured and locked in a closet. So what sent Banks over the edge? Apparently, she read a satirical news report about a comment that Palin allegedly made regarding black slaves in the United States. Of course, the report was completely made up. Negroes loves being slaves because of the simple fact that they cant tackle the world around them on their own, Politicops.com quoted Palin as saying. They need someone to govern them, to show them how to organize, how to live as a community, in a civilized manner. Banks has been known to hate white conservatives, but she appears to have no limits to her anger. She has also target immigrants, gays and lesbians. What do you think of the interaction?

3	Google Launches Life Extension Tech CompanyMadison Ruppert It is also a sign that the company has similar goals to those of Ray Kurzweil, their director of engineering, who recently claimed that people will upload their entire brain to in the near future. Hopefully they dont share the more disturbing aspects of Kurzweils vision. Google CEO Larry Page told Time that he thinks biomedical researchers have not focused on the right problems and that healthcare companies are not thinking enough about the long term. In some industries it takes 10 or 20 years to go from an idea to something being real. Health care is certainly one of those areas, Page said to Time. We should shoot for the things that are really, really important, so 10 or 20 years from now we have those things done. Calico is initially being funded by Google and Arthur Levinson. Levinson is Apples chairman of the board and also chairman of the board for Genentech, a pioneering biotech company. This was just so out of the box that I instantly got extremely excited about it, Levinson said to the Times. Calico, which stands for California Life Company, will be more of an institute certainly than a pharmaceutical company at first, focusing on breaking down the biological mechanisms behind aging, according to Levinson. The early research might mostly be done by outside academic scientists funded by the company, according to Levinson, but they also might hire their own researchers. OK so youre probably thinking wow! Thats a lot different from what Google does today. And youre right. But as we explained in our first letter to shareholders, theres tremendous potential for technology more generally to improve peoples lives, Page said in a Google+ post. So dont be surprised if we invest in projects that seem strange or speculative compared with our existing Internet businesses. These issues affect us allfrom the decreased mobility and mental agility that comes with age, to life-threatening diseases that exact a terrible physical and emotional toll on individuals and families, Page continued. And while this is clearly a longer-term bet, we believe we can make good progress within reasonable timescales with the right goals and the right people. Even Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, seems to support the project. For too many of our friends and family, life has been cut short or the quality of their life is too often lacking, Cook said, according to a Google press release. Art is one of the crazy ones who thinks it doesnt have to be this way. There is no one better suited to lead this mission and I am excited to see the results. MIT Technology Review points out that this new project is just one of many ways that the ultra-rich of the tech world are attempting to fight aging. Billionaire Larry Ellison funds anti-aging research at a foundation he set up, Antonio Regalado wrote for Technology Review. And theres been talk in Silicon Valley X Prize for how to freeze human remains so they can be revived in the future. Do you think this is money well spent by Google?

2	Marines Open Letter To Obama After His Crying Speech Former Marine Mike Shepard gained notoriety when he publicly criticized Barack Obama following the Chattanooga attacks last July. Now, hes going after the president again, this time over the fake tears he shed during his executive action speech on gun control. Mr. Obama, you are surrounded by those who only say things you wish to hear, Shepard wrote in a letter that was first posted to the DC Gazette. Your tears were nothing more than a creation to justify a political agenda. Your advisors should remind you of the things our people cry about. On Sept. 25, 014, Colleen Hufford, a 54-year-old grandmother and worker at Vaughan Foods in Moore, OK was murdered (with a kitchen knife), by an Islamic terrorist. She was beheaded for not converting to Islam and we never witnessed a tear from your eyes. On July 16, 2015 five Americans were killed by an Islamic terrorist Mohammad Abdulazeez and again followed by no tears, Shepard continued. This country mourned and I had to go on Fox to ask this country to lower their flags..You insult the memory of those children who died at Sandy Hook with your fake tears. The American people live by the constitution in which you and I have sworn to protect, he concluded. Your tears do not justify nor give you the right to make your own laws through executive action. If we wanted a dictator the descendants of King George would still control this land. I wrote your wife a letter and told her just what I say to you. If you dont like the constitution you are free to resign and take a one-way trip out. What do you think? Do you support Shepard for speaking out against Obama? 
1	Controversy has erupted throughout the Christian Contemporary music scene in the wake of last Friday's allegations that the Anaheim-area Christian rock trio Wtness 'kicks ass.' Redeemer Records recording artist Wtness, which vehemently denies all allegations of ass-kicking. All three members of Wtness, which has released five albums on the Redeemer Records label since its inception in 1992, vehemently denied the charges, which were made by two fans following a Wtness performance opening for Seraphim at the Joyful Noize Music Festival in San Diego. 'It really hurts me that anybody would say that about us,' said Wtness drummer Walt Shep, 26. 'Yes, our music may 'rock' to some extent, but it's certainly not about kicking assit's about transcending earthly sin.' The fans were overheard making the allegations shortly after leaving Wtness' 40-minute set, describing the rock group's heavy-metal performance as 'way cool' and repeating 'that kicked ass' several times before wandering off in the direction of a pamphlet stand. If found guilty of ass-kicking, Wtness could face stiff penalties, including exclusion from October's much-hyped Kreation '97 festival at the Christ-O-Dome in Jackson, MS, as well as possible divine retribution in the afterlife. 'Wtness needs to rock a little bit less and glorify Christ's true kingdom on Earth a little bit more,' said Dan Lovell, road manager for the Christian rock band Petra. Lovell suggested that a greater reliance on soaring power keyboard chords rather than electric guitar might be a step in the right direction. 'These guys have gone just a little too far,' agreed Roy Hill, lead guitarist for Praiser, whose Resurrockin'! album is currently number one on the Contemporary Christian charts. Wtness is no stranger to controversy. For years, concerned parents and church authorities have also complained that the band's outrageous lookincluding heavily permed and sprayed hair, glittering, rhinestone-bedecked costume jewelry and elaborate stage decorationssuggest susceptibility toward the sins of Pride and Idolatry. Further, their tight-fitting, codpiece-hugging spandex outfits have been described on more than one occasion as inappropriate for fostering an atmosphere of pious, reverent self-abasement before God. According to Wtness lead guitarist Darrell Hilo, who joined the band last year when guitarist Mark Vinson left to devote his life to Inter-varsity Christian Fellowship Ministry, no ass-kicking has ever taken place. 'We can't deny there are a lot of rock bands within the secular arena that do kick ass. Europe, Winger and Night Ranger have all kicked serious ass throughout their careers, with such killer anthems as 'The Final Countdown,' 'Seventeen' and 'You Can Still Rock In America' just the first few songs that come to mind. And yes, I do admit to jamming out to music of this variety when I was very young, before my parents took to drink and were divorced, and I was born again in the light of the Lord and Savior Christ Jesus the Lamb. But that's all part of my past. Honest. I haven't listened to those records since my youth group and I burned them all in 1988.' Wtness lead vocalist Eddy Fye, former lead singer of Edify and co-host of the cable public-access program Teens Talk About Sin, agreed with Hilo. 'We would never intentionally kick ass during a show, especially not with so many young people in the audience,' Fye said. 'It's very important not to rock too hard. If these kids get too pumped up, their loins may become engorged with a lustful desire to touch themselves and others in an impure manner. And that only distracts from the real purpose of the band: celebrating and consecrating our love for the Lord Almighty Jesus Christ in Heaven, who died on the cross for our sins so that we may be free.' When asked about rumors that Wtness was deliberately kicking ass to meet women, Fye was equally dismissive. 'I don't see what playing guitar has to do with meeting a devout church-going woman, settling down into matrimonial partnership, and raising a family,' he said. 'That's a matter best left to the good advice of family members, clergy and a great deal of intense, soul-searching prayer.' Wtness is not the first Christian rock act to be accused of ass-kicking. In the '80s, the soaring power-ballads and monster riffs of Stryper were condemned as kick-ass by many parents' groups, eventually leading to the band's decision to drop Christianity from its image in 1990. The Rez Band's 'When The Love Comes Down' was also widely criticized within Christian circles for its blues-based power chords, though the charges were eventually dropped. Chris Ward, a Laguna Beach teen who attended Monday's Wtness concert, defended the band. 'They did rock, but nothing ever went beyond the limits of propriety,' he said. 'Except maybe for that drum solo. That may have kicked just a little ass.' 
1	The Five Senses, a new film from Fine Line Features starring Mary-Louise Parker and Philippe Volter, is drawing fire from conservative Christian groups who charge that it glorifies sex. 'Billing itself as 'a touching exploration of human perceptions and dynamics,' The Five Senses is filled with images of adults engaged in intimate acts of sexual union,' said Focus On The Family executive director Michael White. 'By depicting it so frequently and so casually, this film only serves to condone the act of lovemaking.' White added that sexual imagery in Hollywood films is largely to blame for 'the proliferation of sexuality in society.' 
2	BREAKING: Judge Orders Clinton To Answer Questions On Email Use... She Has No Way Out According to recent reports, a federal judge has just ordered Hillary Clinton to answers questions from Judicial Watch about her use of a private email serve while she was secretary of state. The order was issued in response to a lawsuit filed by the conservative watchdog group, Originally, the group sought to question Clinton under oath and in person, but U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan only ordered the former secretary of state to answer questions in writing. Last month, FBI Director James Comey announced that the agency would not be indicting Hillary Clinton, although he confirmed she had been extremely careless in her treatment of our countrys sensitive information. Chris Farrell, Director of Investigators at Judicial Watch, said that the decision is a huge victory for the organization. Judicial Watch will get Clinton under oath regarding the set-up of her outlaw serversomething no other person, organization or agency has been able to do, to date, Farrell commented. We believe it is a victory for law and order to get Hillary Clinton under oath answering questions about the server setup and why she did it. Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon responded to the order, stating the campaign was glad the judge is allowing Clinton to answer questions in writing. This is just another lawsuit intended to try to hurt Hillary Clintons campaign, and so we are glad that the judge has accepted our offer to answer these questions in writing rather than grant Judicial Watchs request, Fallon commented. Judicial Watch is ordered to submit their questions to Clinton by Oct. 15. From that point, Hillary will have 30 days to respond. What do you think of this new ruling? 
1	After more than three days of hiking, canoeing and other outdoor activities, a naturist/nudist outing concluded yesterday with a large boner. 'By the time the retreat had ended, there were lots of tired people, worn out from a long weekend of fun but strenuous activity,' said Dale Pursner, tour leader for the Southern Exposure Naturist Getaways outing. 'There also were a lot of stiffies.' 
1	The scrappy Minnesota Twins continued to claw and fight their way down to the bottom of the standings last Wednesday, stringing together the leagues longest losing streak with their 11th-straight defeat. This team has a lot of resolve, and we will battle tooth and nail for last place until the season is over, said right fielder Jason Kubel, who has helped to lead the team with crucial defensive lapses and ineffectiveness at the plate. Weve got a lot of spunk. I dont care who we are playing. Well do whatever it takes and find some way to lose. Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said the team was slumping at the right time and might end up with the worst record in the majors if they continued to play their brand of shit ball. 
3	5 Master Crimes Well Have to Explain to Future GenerationsBy Bernie Suarez The war on terror that never did seem to end turned out to be the perfect tool to rationalize permanent war against everyone, anywhere, everywhere and at anytime. The human species essentially killed itself off. All along while one tiny segment of the planet known as the globalists, financial elite or Illuminati operating under the guise and interest of nation states all danced along to a script they had laid out many years prior. The script told the story of how they were going to kill everyone off to conquer the world. The generations that lived during that time, as a whole ignored the warnings. Truth seekers, revolutionaries, independent journalists and alternative news entities kept warning for years about this out of control top-down corruption and many other ongoing conspiracies, but the overall complacency of the species did not allow for quick enough significant action to take place to stop this agenda. Before we knew it, it was too late. The wars, the fatalities, the depopulation agenda had all finally come to fruition. The human suffering immeasurable and unimaginable to the average mind would be blocked from sight and mind. Most people alive and surviving in this new world order system would be constantly subjected to wireless signals that provide news and entertainment and control over what you see and hear. So if a person doesnt see the suffering, then to that person its as if its not happening. And there you are, in the future, seeing all of this. You awaken and you are surrounded by children of the future. In the future some of these may be your children, some may be neighbors, acquaintances, distant friends and even strangers. The young children want to know something and they look to you with their most important question: How did this happen? You search for an answer and before you know it the children one by one ask you more specific questions. The permanently enslaved children ask questions that they hope you can answer. You then think to yourself, wondering what will you say to these children of the future to explain to them what your role was in preventing these now very key issues that the generations of the future will demand answers for. In the future, will you have an answer for these key issues that sealed the destruction of humanity? When the time comes, will you be able to answer to future generations and confidently say you did your part to stop these events? What events are these? Heres a small list for you to think now of what you will say on behalf of yourself for allowing the following crimes to take place. while humanity did nothing about it when they had a chance to stop it. In the distant future, after humanitys DNA is permanently contaminated from breathing aerosolized metal particles, what will you say you did to stop chemtrails chemical spraying and daily aerosolized nano-sized metal injections into the atmosphere? Will you be able to tell future generations that you did all you could to stop chemtrails and chembomb artificial cloud seeding to manipulate the weather? When the pH of the system is unsustainable for life, when the ecosystem equilibrium is thrown off, when the nutrients of the earth and ocean are fully contaminated and ongoing extreme weather and climate changes destroys the essence of our planet due to geoengineering crimes what will you say your role was in stopping this? Will you be guilty of showing outward passion about the climate all the while ignoring years and years of in-your-face global spraying operations spraying dangerous metal particles in the sky that went straight into the ground, the ocean and into your lungs compromising the essence and vibrancy of humanity and the planet? After over a decade of absolutely illegal wars, torture, war crimes and revelation of mountains of evidence implicating a very long list of political criminals in the 9/11/01 globalist terrorist attacks, what will you say to children of the future when they ask how did your generation allow the criminals who orchestrated this event to get away with it for so many years? Will you have a good answer? Will you be able to say that you did everything you could to stop the cover-up, expose the lies and seek true justice? When the children of the future read about the overwhelming idiot-proof evidence explaining every detail of the 9/11 globalist terror attacks, and when they hear about how this evidence was freely available to humanity the whole time, what will you say to them to explain how justice was never served? Think about this. What about when future generations find out that, especially in America, people convinced themselves with Monsanto paid-for propaganda that it was somehow safe to eat genetically contaminated food every day and to ignore the simultaneous rise in cancer and many other medical diseases across the board amongst males, females, adults and even children? How will you get out of this one? Were talking a mass program of progressive stupidity and ignorance that the species decided to suicidally and hypnotically accept to poison their own DNA by poisoning their own food supply so that a small group of people representing several large corporations could profit by imitating the food resource of the planet. Do you have your story ready? Because future generations will want to know if you threw them under the bus and allowed them to eat proven poison without telling them what they were eating. Will you dissociate yourself from this mass stupidity? Will you be able to show a body of work that you did to stop this? Speaking of contaminating the DNA of the human race, a pregnant woman and her baby are one of the most amazing things humanity will ever encounter. Its the start of a new life and the power of nature is at work. The miracle of life is the ultimate miracle of them all. So if challenged by those in the future, what will you say when they ask you what you did to stop the poisoning of the newborn humans from a long list of mandatory chemical injections, none of which had been proven convincingly safe to the species? This single process of forcefully injecting a laundry list of proven unsafe chemical vaccines saturated with trace amounts of deadly toxins into the human newborn may prove to be the crime that you will have the hardest time explaining. Can you imagine the questions a future generation would ask? How can any company be allowed to create chemical compounds that are directly injected into newborns, while at the same time not being held accountable for the damage their chemicals eventually cause? This may sound like a scene from a monster movie thriller but its not. Many will ask in the future. Where was the logic in this? Who was looking out for the safety of the innocent newborn? How can it be that none of these chemical vaccines had been proven safe to humans yet were allowed to be directly injected into innocent babies at such high frequency? Will you be able to tell someone in the future that you did everything you could to stop this mandatory chemical injection madness? The madness in this is worse than we think. Dont you think future generations will realize there was a choice all along beyond just being controlled by a bunch of idiots at some global top level political platform? Some will surely ask how about plain old freedom and self-governance? Or how about some kind of version of very small government? Think of how upside-down the useless concept of top-down governance will sound to someone in the future? Why allow someone at the very top, someone completely disconnected from who you are and who you neighbors are, to completely control your life, your livelihood and your personal interest? This might be the WTF moment in everyones life at some point in the future. Most of us dont think this way, but imagine if you had to explain to someone in the future as to why you stood by and did nothing about a bizarre top-down dictatorship seeking to control humanity at a global level. Think of how inefficient this is in every way shape and form. Given how incredible humans are, why would they not simply create small, compact and efficient micro-governments; or, better yet, models of self governance to live happy healthy and prosperous lives where they can exercise their own choices? Its like discovering clean renewable energy that can power the world for free and forever and then opting to go backwards in time and use petro-chemical based, pollution-creating, expensive gasoline again. Who would choose this? The same with freedom and mastering your own domain. Close your eyes and truly consider these topics and arguments and think what can you do to change the world? Start with any of these issues and make sure you can defend your actions someday in the future. Remember that the future is inevitable. It will be here with or without you. The globalists have planned out their future. Have you? Image Credit: David Dees Art Bernie is a revolutionary writer with a background in medicine, psychology, and information technology.

Pretty much we are responsible for allowing Hilary to continue the lies whe any IDIOT should understand that BY VIRTUE OF POSITION the job of Secretary of State is inherently CLASSIFIED. Even her itinerary is classified. Yet we continue to allow it. Just because the Pentagon was bombed, it is not an excuse to let $12 trillion go unaccounted for yet that is exactly what we have done. Going a little overboard there arent we? Actually, no where near far enough. Bernie is right in that we take our knowledge and put it into action. The citizens have been so apathetic they could murder 75% of the nation and the remaining 25% wouldnt even shrug their shoulders! I can hire one half of the working class to kill the other half.Jay Gould Disengage, disobey, resist. #4 has affected us personally but its been going on for nearly 200 years, Vaccination is one the greatest lies ever told and as with everything they (MSM Big Pharma) use this old divide and conquer strategy. Thank you Bernie. Stopping the fascist advance of the globalists has been my number one project for the last five years. Although organizing and acting locally here in Oregon has been a very slow process, I take personal satisfaction in what I do. The biggest obstacle in reaching the minds of my fellow Oregonians, like anywhere else, is the job of working to separate ordinary people from their addictions to the stupefying sources of propaganda, their intentional ignorance, and their general insouciance in the face of the coming world-wide destruction of the self. I tend now to believe that the reason for our lack of progress (so far), comes from a subconscious program of live for today and die tomorrow suicide pact between the masses and the elites. We are living to have fun now and joy today in spite of knowing that tomorrow will be the end of everything good so why bother?. How do we shatter this thinking? One way to to inject reality messages directly into the social stream in our communities. Getting into the streets with sign messages of all kinds in order to stimulate an random passer-bys awareness and subconscious in thinking differently from the status quo. Acting in the streets, even as one-man-band protest can itself be seen as a message of encouraging others to act in the same way. Lets get on the streets with our various messages and stir things up. Thank you for being a true leader for my family in these perilous times. Im a 4th generation Oregonian currently living in NE Washington. We are doing our part here in Stevens county. The system is stacked hard against any positive change. It seems only the petty and selfish wanna be tyrants are run for office. We have uncovered evidence of election fraud by the entrenched. They also refuse to put their Oaths of Office to defend the Constitutions on the record. In our attempts to address this, the judge, Sheriff and Prosecutor colluded to criminalize our right to redress by arresting 3 of us for trespassing when we read our grievance in our District courtroom before it started but was put session right over the top of us so they could arrest us forTrespassing. I was not allowed to tell the jury the basis of the grievance or even mention the Constitution. The sad thing is that we know our highest courts will find a way to sanction this. We need to start calling what these people are doing what it isTreason. They are deliberately overthrowing our constitutional form of government. The problem we are faced with is the entire system of government has been separated from the Constitution. It is the only way our governments can hold us accountable for victimless crimes, the exercise of our rights or arrest us for being too poor to pay for state mandated licenses to drive. Yes, people, you are not allowed to travel to get food unless you pay tribute to the government first. Because the corruption is systemic there is no help in doing the right way by going through the system. One of the worst things we are up against is that the Prosecutors are the only ones who can file felony charges against other elected. The judges are corrupt and could easily be take down if they dont give the Prosecutors what they want. If we try to make change outside of the system they control we will be criminalized. We are then forced, literally at the point of a gun, to participate in their subsequent railroading. Anyone who truly wants to make a difference will end up in jail. Thats just the way it is in a revolution. Appreciate both of you. Flyers are cheap and very effective. Now you know WHY Gates built the seed vault in the ArcticAFTER they kill off and poison everyone they will then bring back out their non-contaminated seeds for themselvesBut for you goyim, eat up those cancer causing veggiesmmm mmm good! Thats why global elites want to depopulate and kill of most of humanity. No one but themselves (they think) will be around to ask such questions! Yeah, Times are going to get very rough before all is said and done. What we all should be worried about is what will our answer to God Almighty, our maker, will be. These hard times were spoken of in Bible prophecy but we are left with hope because, for one, all Bible prophecy has been accurate to the letter. Here is just one that is found in Psalms 37 A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off. The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble. And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him. I know my answer is going to beyoure the clairvoyant one, why did you set us up for failure? What a clumsy, clunky headline. I thought only 144,000 were going in the rapturethat the rest of us were being left behind to clean up the carnage then have a thousand years of peace before the actual final judgment. Read your Bible. Please refresh me on my Revelations. Its been a long time. I dont have time and also im typing on my Braille device. Thank you friend. Interesting Orfi. The archons do make everything in our existence fake. We must awaken. 
3	Smart Meter, Wi-Fi and Microwave Radiation Information Consumers Need to KnowBy Catherine J. Frompovich Cordless phones and baby monitors also are discussed. So is electronic hypersensitivity (EHS), the real, not psychosomatic illness, which now affects a growing number of the population. Wikipedia claims that about 5 percent of the population suffers with EHS [1]. AMI Smart Meters are tested in that video, plus microwave ovens, which everyone needs to see and hear the results of the Extech 480386 EMF meter as it registers EMFs coming off electronics, Smart Meters in particular! Microwaves escape microwave oven shielding, so please remember that, and have your microwave oven checked periodically by a qualified EMFs electronics professional. Seeing all the appliances tested in that video, you will be surprised at what you learn that you probably didnt know, but you need to protect yourself from non-ionizing radiation. Safety precautions and how to protect yourself also are discussed.

1	Local resident Daniel Paxson has reportedly heard dozens of accounts from numerous friendly sources in the past two weeks confirming that the new James Bond film is pretty good. According to persons with knowledge of the situation, an unnamed friend of Paxsons coworker Wendy Mathers watched the movie on opening weekend and found it to be decent enough. News of this development is believed to have then led Mathers herself to see the film the following week. Though she was overheard describing its screenplay as kind of forgettable, Mathers is said to have concluded that Daniel Craigs performance redeemed the movie overall, and according to witnesses, she voiced this opinion during a work meeting at which Paxon was present. Within a few days, a second coworker had reportedly seen the film and told Paxson it was not the worst way [he] could spend a night out. Sources said the accumulation of these mostly positive reports led Paxson to decide the movie was probably good and to consider checking it out himself sometime this week. At press time, reports indicated Paxson was perusing theater listings and confused as to whether the new James Bond movie was titled Killing Them Softly, Deadfall, Skyfall, or Silent Night. 
2	Trump Just Slammed Fox News Big Time After Highest Debate Ratings In History Donald Trump took a lot of heat during and following the Fox News GOP Debate, but one thing still isnt lying: the numbers. Shortly following the event, Trump took to his Facebook page to send a very clear message to the network: Fox News you should be ashamed of yourself. I got you the highest debate ratings in your history you say nothing but bad. Dopey Charles Krauthammer should be fired. The hatred that clown has for me is unbelievablecauses him to lie when many others say Trump easily won debate. The message got hundreds of thousands of likes and shares, and was even backed up by Dan Scavino, who reminded Americans that the Debate doubled the previous record for most-watched primary debate in history. 
1	Nuggets president Josh Kroenke announced Thursday that although the franchise has been in Denver since 1967, the organization would be willing to move to New York City for star forward Carmelo Anthony if that's what it takes to keep him on the team. 'It's important for him to know that we're committed to this relationship,' Kroenke said at a press conference, adding that the team would try to find a small, cheap arena in Queens and see how things went from there. 'Other than Carmelo and his basketball, the truth of the matter is we didn't have much keeping us in Denver. So maybe this will be a good change. Like we said when we first signed him in 2003: together forever.' At press time, Kroenke assured Anthony that, were the move to happen, the Nuggets would be fine with 'doing their own thing' and not spending every minute together. 
2	LAST NIGHT 10,000 New Yorkers Took THIS Stand Against Obama [VIDEO] According to recent reports, protestors headed to New York City to speak out against President Barack Obamas recent nuclear agreement with Iran. The deal has been highly criticized by the American public as well as fellow politicians, but Obama decided to move forward with it anyway. New York City, with a large Jewish population, was the center point for concerned Americans to gather and speak out about their concern for Israel. Nearly 10,000 people gathered to demand that Congress reject the agreement. The rally hosted many speakers, both liberal and Conservative. It is a bad deal for Democrats; it is a bad deal for liberals, Alan Dershowitz claimed. I am here opposing this deal as a liberal DemocratThat is not the way democracy should operate. The deal is essentially a treaty. It binds the United States in a multi-national way. This treaty should be submitted to the Senate for two-thirds approval. But the president wont do that. I want President Barack Obama to know thing, Former Republican House Representative Allen West told reporters. You may say that you have done something that no one else has ever done. You know why no one else has ever done it? Cause its a damn stupid thing that you just did. What do you think of the agreement? Is Obama a complete idiot when it comes to foreign policy? 
3	BBC Journalist Comes Clean: Believe Nothing You Read Or WatchBy Sophie McAdam Darvall, who hosts a show on BBC radio Bristol, has just lost his daughter. Polly was 22, and died in a tragic car accident on Halloween. Since he works for the BBC, Darvalls grief became public, and he agreed to give an interview. The report was full of inaccuracies and mistakes which compounded his loss, and caused huge problems in the family. This poor piece of journalism made Tuesday probably the worst day of this whole episode so far. This includes seeing our dead daughter in a hospital mortuary just 12 hours after she was killed, Darvall wrote in a moving blog post. Newspapers have contacted me and provided appallingly written articles, which I have had to change, polish or make actual sense of. Other papers have published articles using my personal relationship as the in line, when this is NOT the story but, at best, just a very small part of the story. Darvall goes on: Those who know me well will know that I never, ever wanted to be the story, just to tell or share the story, as a journalist, correctly. I have never wanted to be on TV, I dont want to be known, perhaps just be known of, to do my job well and to help people if I can and to get to the truth for others. However, hes now seen the light: truth and the mainstream media dont go together, after all. Darvall suggests theres no future for his industry, suggesting that the Internet will eventually take over as the primary source of finding out about current affairs: The way we all consume news is changing, he writes. The way we share news has changed and will continue to change at a faster pace. This week TV and newspapers have proven to me why they are not the future of news. If they cant even get their facts right, be trusted with clear information and then report it accurately is it any wonder that we are all turning to Facebook, Twitter and other internet sources for our news and information? The internet allows us to come to our own conclusions by checking our own facts. We really cant trust the traditional outlets to do it right or properly. I write this as a father who has lost a daughter. I write this as a journalist who loved his work but can now clearly see why so many have lost faith in his profession and traditional media. They, we and I have brought this on ourselves. Finally, Darvall leaves us with two pieces of advice: Trust nothing you read or watch, he tells us, and possibly the most important thing of all: Love your children and loved ones. Properly love them. Tell them every day, make sure they know that you love them regardless of what might be happening. Nothing is more important than that. Well said, sir. Darvalls blog post comes in the wake of two (much bigger) shock-horror admissions by insiders that the mainstream media is entirely fake: a German journalist recently spilled the beans on how media professionals are nothing more than propaganda writers who deliberately lie to the people and help intelligence agencies push for war. In another story that went viral around the world, a model who built her career on making herself look beautiful for Instagram photos had what can only be described as a total breakdown, quitting the business of social media and blowing the whistle on how shallow and fake the entire industry is in her final YouTube video ever (Note: embedded video now fixed). Both of these are well worth watching and sharing with everyone you know! Could 2015 be the year that the masses wake up and see that the Emperor is wearing no clothes?

I have said that for along time THE DRIVE BY news media are just that a bunch of DRIVE BY NEWS PEOPLE that DRIVE BY then spou9t off about what ** THEY ** think thougtht they SAW . ////////////////////////////// My Father, a crusty old WWII Army COE Sargent, always told us: Believe half of what you see/witness and none of what you read/hear, and you will be fine. It reminds me of one of Lincolns truths: You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time. Especially in todays radical liberal. progressive, socialist, commie and PC LSM. Especially in todays radical liberal. progressive, socialist, commie and PC LSM Sounds like a lot more propaganda has slipped under your skin then you realize. What??? The Emperor is wearing no clothes? I bet hes a hit at the bathhouse in Chi town. What took him so long? This is an insider so imagine n watch why an outsider man on the street interviews are so sad. Oreilly believes u can embarass the public into changing behavior n getting informed. Hasnt worked in his career think hes an imbecile. Capitalism is dying and so is its media format, the mega-corporate owned news sources . The internet and valid individual independent real investigative journalism is available. The cubicle journalists of the so called alternative media and the republican corporate mainstream media with their faux conservatism are on their way out. The alien/military/industrial/complex is about to meet its match awakened humanity. Nice bit of honesty the internet is the only place to find truths that the PC LSM wont print or say most just want a paycheck. Who would believe any news media after 911???? Probably before 911; never did a study on media ownership and when it was actually corrupted. that might make a good research project! Might get you droned or SWATed though! Yes more and more people are having to rely on the internet and alternative media to try and stay informed about what is really going on. This is why alternative news sites are being infiltrated like never before. Most now are just pretenders that are actually pushing the elites agenda. Intellihub is one good example. The site has actively been engaging in distorting the truth and is even now censoring comments from those with opposing views while allowing shills and trolls to muddy the waters to put it simply. They once posted an article that had nothing to do with anything except some celebrities getting into an altercation. Such things are always a distraction. I posted the first comment where I simply asked the question why is this story on intellihub and what does it have to do with the bigger picture and the betterment of mankind? Then it said my comment was deleted for being spam. I would like to know how that one comment posted on that one article in any way could be considered spam. At this time we can not be too carefull. Things change. We must stay vigilant. We need to constantly test the waters. Just because a alternative news site may have been on the level in the past does not guarantee it will remain so. Great story, great article! Wow , thank you for that and sorry about your daughter , sadly it takes an insider to wake up the people , will it work who knows maybe in time , Atomic metroid bingo , after 911 who would believe the MSN , i must say thank you to the Main stream media because their reporting of 911 WOKE ME UP . tc all . So, selfnews Post, in what way did this BBC journalist come clean, as you state in your headline? To come clean means to admit to some personal wrongdoing. Certainly, he criticises the general media for factual inaccuracies so you then headline your story with a factual inaccuracy. Ironic, isnt it. This is a man in great anguish. The most important thing he said was love your family. More and more people are speaking out , ty for that but what took you so long ? 
1	Citing the 17-year-old's awkward overuse of Native American imagery and general ability to make long lists of random adjectival phrases, the Jim Morrison Foundation announced Monday the awarding of a $50,000 grant to self-obsessed little shit Jerome Caudry of Shullsburg, WI. 'In Jerome's verse, all of which seems to be about Jerome himself as he struggles with the burden of approaching the edge of prophecy and daring to peek over, we hear echoes of the Lizard King himself,' read a press release from the foundation, which has given annual grants to brooding, solipsistic pukes since 1983. 'This gift should help Mr. Caudry achieve his personal goals, which we hope include winding up dead in a bathtub within the year.' Caudry's myopically self- aggrandizing autobiographical novel The Bleeding Sky's Wife Shatters The Soul-Mask Of The Hopi Postman was also short-listed for this year's Richard Brautigan Prize for Thpppppt! Oh, Give Me a Fucking Break. 
1	Following last Sundays Breaking Bad midseason finale, creator and showrunner Vince Gilligan told reporters that in a departure from the light, fun tone that has characterized the program thus far, the concluding episodes may take more of a darker turn. Ever since the very first episode, in which [main character] Walt is diagnosed with cancer and forced to sell meth to provide for his pregnant wife and cerebral-palsy-stricken son, Ive thought that perhaps one day we could begin taking the show in a grittier direction, said Gilligan, adding that while the programs ongoing depiction of a man slowly succumbing to an illegal lifestyle defined by power, violence, and alienation was fine for four and a half seasons, he wouldnt mind eventually exploring some grimmer themes. I know our audience has gotten comfortable seeing Walt regularly kill drug dealers, endanger his family, and poison small children, but, personally, I think people would be interested in seeing a slightly more sinister side to the character. Gilligans announcement comes just weeks after fellow AMC showrunner Matthew Weiner announced it was entirely conceivable that the next season of Mad Men may touch on how men deal with marriage. 
3	The Anthrax Coverup ExposedPaul Craig Roberts Four and one-half months ago I posted a review of MacQueens book. The hired government apologists, the despicable presstitute media, and the usual gullible patriots greeted the book with screams of conspiracy theory. In fact, MacQueens book was a carefully researched project that established that there indeed was a conspiracy a conspiracy inside the government. MacQueens conclusion stands vindicated by Richard Lambert, the agent in charge of the FBI anthrax investigation who has turned whistleblower. It was obvious to any person familiar with the techniques that governments use to erode liberty by destroying the protection given to citizens by law that the purpose of the anthrax letters, especially the letters to senators Patrick Leahy and Tom Daschle, was to raise the fear level in order to guarantee the passage of the tyrannical PATRIOT Act. The PATRIOT Act was a decisive blow against American liberty. The act has served to negate the US Constitution in the 21st century and to endow the federal government with unaccountable and tyrannical powers. In a court filing, Richard Lambert says that as the agent in charge of the investigation he was obstructed and impeded in his investigation for four years by the FBIs Washington Field Office, by apathy and error from the FBI Laboratory, by erroneous legal decisions, and by politically motivated communication embargoes from FBI Headquarters. As Lambert has filed a case in US District Court, it will be difficult for Washington to have him assassinated. However, Washington can still use its presstitutes against him. Lambert says that there was far more exculpatory evidence in Bruce Ivins behalf than there was orchestrated circumstantial evidence against him. Ivins was Washingtons scapegoat after the orchestrated case against Steven Hatfill fell apart and Washington had to pay Hatfill $4.6 million for defamation. Lambert says the evidence was not sufficient for a court conviction of Ivins, who conveniently died or was murdered, and thus could be blamed without conviction. Scientists have conclusively proven that the anthrax in the letters was advanced bio-weapons technology to which Ivins had no access. Lamberts accusations filed in federal court have the capability of exposing the entire This article first appeared at Paul Craig Roberts website Institute For Political Economy.

3	Media Continues to Call for the Use of Govt Force to Confiscate Millions of GunsBy Alex Thomas Despite the fact that for years gun control groups and anti-gun liberals have claimed that they only want common sense gun control, news outlets such as Salon and Slate are once againopenly praising Australias controversial 1996 gun control law, a law that included a mandatory gun buyback program under the threat of government force. After the Oregon school shooting, highly trafficked liberal news outlet Slate republished an article praising Australias gun control law that was originally released in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre. In the days since the recent shooting the article has become the top-read report on the siteas well aslinked by dozens of other liberal news outlets. (emphasis mine) On April 28, 1996, a gunman opened fire on tourists in a seaside resort in Port Arthur, Tasmania. By the time he was finished, he had killed 35 people and wounded 23 more. It was the worst mass murder in Australias history. Twelve days later, Australias government did something remarkable. Led by newly elected conservative Prime Minister John Howard, it announced a bipartisan deal with state and local governments to enact sweeping gun-control measures. A decade and a half hence, the results of these policy changes are clear: They worked really, really well. At the heart of the push was a massive buyback of more than 600,000 semi-automatic shotguns and rifles, or about one-fifth of all firearms in circulation in Australia. The countrys new gun laws prohibited private sales, required that all weapons be individually registered to their owners, and required that gun buyers present a genuine reason for needing each weapon at the time of the purchase. (Self-defense did not count.) In the wake of the tragedy, polls showed public support for these measures at upwards of 90 percent. Like most other articles praising Australias gun laws, the author of the Slate article completely leaves out the fact that the buyback program was mandatorywhich means that anyone who refused to go along with the program was subject to government raids and or violence. Another article published in the wake of the Oregon shooting, this time on liberal clickbait rag Salon.com attempts to attack the NRA by using Australia as a shining example of gun control. Remember, these are the same liberals who claim that they do not want to take away all Americans guns while literally writing articles promoting a gun law that not only included gun confiscation but also banned purchasing guns for use in self-defense! The author of this direct attack on the 2nd Amendment even reveals that yes, we are absolutely talking about completely banning guns outright. So if Americans arent using their guns for self-defense, does it make sense to do away with the charade of sensible gun restrictions talk and just get real about banning at least some guns outright? Of course, America is awash in guns with approximately one gun for every U.S. citizen, but would examining Australias model on guns, as President Obama has suggested, be instructive for our gun violence crisis? When Australia had a mass killing it was just so shocking the entire country said, Well, were going to completely change our gun laws, and they did. And it hasnt happened since, the president recently told comedian Marc Maron. [] The National Firearms Agreement and Buyback Program, as the package of legislation was called, prohibited the sale of shotguns as well as semiautomatic and self-loading rifles. Waiting periods and safety courses became mandatory for new gun owners andlimits on the sale of ammunition were imposed. Most importantly, perhaps, the legislation allocated $250 million for a gun buyback program, allowing for newly outlawed rifles and shotgun to be destroyed by the Australian government. Ultimately more than 640,000 firearms were either purchased by the Australian government or voluntarily handed in. So did theconfiscation work? A2012 studyestimated 260,000 illegal guns were still in circulation Down Under, and a more recent report from Rupert Murdochs NewsCorp (I can sense the eye rolls) found that 37,000 new gun licenseswere issued in the last five years, reportedly resulting in no increased gun related crimes. It worked in Australia so lets go ahead and push for it here in America regardless of what that pesky living document called the Constitution says. The two articles quoted above are an extremely small sample size of the plethora of articles across the mainstream media promoting confiscation by government force while still trying to trick naive Americans into believing all they want is common sense reform (theres that buzzword again). Make no mistake, when outlets like Salon and Slate call for Australian gun control in America they are calling for gun confiscation under the threat of government coercion and conflict as well as openly admitting that they are willing to risk an all-out civil war in order to achieve this agenda. An outstanding report in the Federalist that was published in June of this year details what gun confiscation in America would actually require while destroying the myth that liberals just want to stopmass shootings. Australian-style gun control, in other words, would require government force and coercion on a massive scale. Now, progressives dont understand the nature of coercion, so maybe they would not see police action to enforce gun confiscation as coercion. Or, perhaps, they actually do understand that their ideal form of gun control requires it, which is why they keep speaking in code and talk about Australia and not wholesale confiscation. Let there be no doubt. Gun confiscation would have to be administered by force of arms. I do not expect that those who dismissed their fellow citizens for clinging bitterly to their guns are so naive that they imagine these people will suddenly cease their bitter clinging when some nice young man knocks on their door and says, Hello, Im from the government and Im here to take your guns. As though somehow those who daily espouse their belief that the purpose of the Second Amendment is to allow citizens to resist government oppression and tyranny will not use the Second Amendment to resist what they see as government oppression and tyranny. Or maybe they are so naive. Many on the Leftand for this they are to be commendedhave voiced their opposition to the increasing militarization of Americas police. Yet only a militarized police could enforce an Australian gun-control scheme in the United States. To take arms from men requires men with arms. Theres no other way to do it. Yet because of the numbers of guns and men with guns in this country, any policy to remove those guns will inevitably depend on some measure of coercion, quite possibly a heavy measure. Does anyone honestly believe this country has the will or resources to seize 60 to 105 million firearms from 105 to 160 million Americans? Progressives believe it, I hear you answer. Yes, but the ones who do, believe this dishonestly. And, as I noted above, a mandatory gun confiscation program in America (which is literally being called for throughout the mainstream media at this moment) would most likely lead to a new civil war. (emphasis again mine) When someone says the United States ought to adopt Australias gun laws as its own, he is really saying the cause of gun control is so important that he is willing to impose these laws even at the cost of violent insurrection. Make no mistake, armed rebellion would be the consequence. Armed men would be dispatched to confiscate guns, they would be met by armed men, and blood would be shed. Australia is a valid example for America only if you are willing for that blood to be spilled in torrents and rivers. To choose Australia is to choose civil war. At this point the anti-gun agenda has completely and fully revealed itself as havingabsolutely NOTHING to do with common sense gun control and everything to do with full-scale gun confiscation and the eventual complete banning of legal gun ownershipin America. The liberal media and their globalist masters,by continually claiming that they only want to stop mass shootings while at the same time openly calling for confiscation, have also revealed that they truly do believe that the American people are mindless sheep who will believe anything they hear onTV. Going forward it is extremely important for all Americans to understand what media pundits and gun control groups are actually calling for when they bring up Australia while also using calls to model US laws on the country as direct proof that there is nothing common or sensible about the reforms they are pushing.

Who is the real killer? McDonalds and Cars. Dont buy into the disarming. There hasnt been Mass shooting in 18-19 yrs. Yes, they have had shooting but by their definition in Australia 4 or more shot by 1 person. The 4-5 shootings in last 18 yrs were 3 or less killed by 1 person. The US has 200 killed everyday thru out the country. You didnt write about new laws. The new gun laws included a ban on many types of semi-automatic, self-loading rifles and shotguns. Each gun required a separate permit with a 28-day waiting period, and Australia created a national firearms registration system. Guns could only be sold by licensed firearms dealers, and limits were placed on the amount of ammunition that could be sold. Firearm owners had to be 18, complete a safety course, and have a genuine reason for owning a gun, such as sport shooting, hunting, or occupational requirements (personal protection did not count as a legitimate reason). Licenses expired every five years, and could be revoked if police found reliable evidence of a mental or physical condition which would render the applicant unsuitable for owning, possessing or using a firearm. The Buyback did get a lot of guns. NO raiding homes.The new laws also included a national gun-buyback program for newly prohibited weapons. The program cost $230 million, which was raised through a small health-insurance tax increase, and ultimately more than 700,000 firearms were purchased by the government or voluntarily handed in. Some firearms werent turned in, and in 2012 an estimated 260,000 illegal guns were still in circulation. Australia just wanted the senseless killing to stop. They valued human life more than guns, which is a nice thought. U.S. could take some cues from other countries successful efforts to combat gun violence such as banning assault weapons, expanding background checks, and increasing waiting periods without implementing gun-control laws as strict as Australias. When youre talking about reducing motor vehicle accidents, you dont only rely on seat belts, you dont only on speed limits, you dont only rely on highway design, you dont only rely on motor vehicle standards, but you have a set of them, Peters told ABC News. Similarly, theyre a set of measures that together constitute regulation to prevent gun violence. post all states just dont pick the ones you want At the heart of the push was a massive buyback of more than 600,000 semi-automatic shotguns and rifles, or about one-fifth of all firearms in circulation in Australia. The term buyback is a euphemism for compensated confiscation as it was used in Ausseland. The usual question here is: How does a government buyback something it never owned in the first place? An auto manufacturer can buyback from its customer a vehicle it sold them and has become a lemon; a vacuum cleaner manufacturer can buyback from its customer a vacuum cleaner that they have been unsuccessful at repairing (another lemon); a firearms manufacturer can buyback a firearm that they determined to be defective (the Taurus recall and buyback of their PT-111 Millennium as one such example); etc. But in each case above the entity buying back the item actually owned and sold the item they are buying back. Trust me on this: the Australian Method of gun confiscation desired (demanded?) by POTUS candidate Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton does NOT include monetary compensation she is intending confiscation by brute force wherever noncompliance or resistance is encountered.

3	UN Asks: How Many People Could Live on Planet Earth?Susanne Posel, Contributor The PSP predicts simulated outcomes that are being used to shape international policy. Richard Rosen, executive vice president of Tellus claims that if we are to make this world a pleasant place to live, we should get going immediately. Theres no leisurely way. Geophysicists at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research states that only 282 billion people could be packed onto the planet with all other land reserved for food cultivation only. The PSP infers 4 possible scenarios that will come to pass because of the growing human population. Market Forces If we continue business as usual, by the year 2100, we will see the poorer regions suffer from the growth of industry. Environmental problems abound and become more acute. We can expect family planning policies that restrict the right to have children. The expectation of population growth would be pushing the boundaries of sustainability; being 9.3 billion. Under strict food securitization policies, less than 6% of the worlds population could be affected by starvation. Policy Reform In this scenario, by 2100, governments have adhered to the UNs climate change targets and sustainability goals; however economic growth is hindered and stronger policies must be put in place to curb the effects. With family planning services enforced onto the population, only 8.4 billion people would be straining natural resources. The average income would only be worth 11 cents on the dollar. Expected water shortages would force 23% of the worlds water resources to be controlled by governmental policies. International mandates controlling food would result in only 3% of the worlds population to suffer from hunger. Fortress World By 2100 this global society would be controlled by an authoritarian government in order to control distribution of resources. Economic, social and environmental downgrades would cause the wealthy to retreat to protected areas; leaving the masses to fend for themselves in the wastelands. Implementing family planning services would be near impossible, leaving the global population to rise to 10.2 billion. The average income would be reduced to 2 cents on the dollar. Water securitization would control 46% of the worlds water supplies. Global hunger could soar to nearly 15% of the entire population. The Great Transition By 2100, if the worlds societies were to radically alter their environmental preservation policies and prioritize social memes to reflect those of the UN, the planet could live in a world of social equality and cooperation. Family planning would have successfully controlled population growth to a stable 7.3 billion worldwide. Take home income could be raised to 36 cents on the dollar. With less people, water securitization could be kept to a minimum of 21%. The incidents of global hunger would be negligible. Regardless of global population decline, the UNs Populations Fund (UNFPA) is calling for more family planning services in order to further decrease fertility rates worldwide. The UNFPA released a report in 2011 that erroneously claimed that the worlds population will rise to 9.15 billion by 2050. In response, the UNFPA has focused efforts on STD immunizations, abortion and contraception more readily available under the non-discriminant term, family planning. Their concept for the future appears to be miserable without the submission of all humans on planet Earth to their globalist Elite schemes. They are quite good at using fear to justify their policies to elected officials, governments and average citizens. Their continued success will surely lead to the worst of possible futures.

1	This year's Academy Awards pre-ceremony red carpet display has analysts worried that the divide between the nation's best and worst dressed is only growing, forcing thousands to live well below the taste line while a lucky few see their glamour levels skyrocket. Despite efforts to level the red carpet, the fashion-sense chasm is growing wider each year. 'Every year it's the same story, with the flashy getting flashier and the trashy getting trashier,' said red carpet fashion expert Melissa Rivers, who brought attention to the issue Sunday night in a special post-Oscars report broadcast on the TV Guide channel. 'If nothing is done to level the playing field, we may never see members of the fashion underprivileged, like Lindsay Lohan and Pamela Anderson, make the transition from sham to glam.' Oscar night fashion, which many experts use as a bellwether for the state of celebrity gorgeousness nationwide, has shown in recent years a high concentration of couture in the hands of a few, with Halle Berry alone commanding over 57 percent of the nation's supply of sexy yet exquisitely tasteful gowns. 'We can't just assume that because Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Aniston, and Kate Winslet look amazing, everything is okay,' said Rivers, as celebrity stylist Phillip Bloch and In Touch magazine fashion commentator Goumba Johnny nodded in solemn agreement. 'For every Sarah Jessica Parker, there's an overdressed underclass of Mary-Kate Olsens and Paula Abduls.' While fashion moguls have long predicted that investing in designer dresses would have an impact throughout Hollywood, little style has actually trickled down to those most in need. Fixtures of the fashion elite like Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Lopez, and George Clooney, and younger taste mavens Reese Witherspoon and Anne Hathaway continue to occupy the highest strata, while Helena Bonham Carter, Mariah Carey, and Diane Keaton perennially personify the depressing lack of upward mobility, Rivers said. 'The best-dressed, worst-dressed divide is also a generational problem, as the children of worst-dressed celebrities are less likely to encounter the same glamour opportunities as children of best-dressed celebs,' Rivers continued. 'Just look at the Osbourne children. It's tragic. It's tragic.' Some celebrities, such as Jennifer Love Hewitt and Heather Graham, are accused of pursuing fashion beyond their fame. Moreover, a growing number of style analysts, including Rivers' counterpart and TV personality Jay Manuel, place blame for the current state of elegance squarely on the shoulders of the devastated celebrities themselves. 'It's all about personal responsibility: pull yourself up by your own Choo straps,' Manuel said. 'Courtney Love has her choice of any Versace gown she wants, but she chooses to look like she just stumbled out the back door of a methadone clinic. You just have to want to work hard and apply yourself.' Others insist that celebrities do not choose their worst-dressed fate, but are victims of recent fashion disasters from which they have not yet recovered. 'I don't believe for a minute that any of this is [the celebrities'] fault,' said longtime red-carpet presence Joan Rivers, Melissa's mother. 'Who in the world chooses to present themselves like Sharon Stone? Who goes out and dresses like Tori Spelling on purpose? No one, that's who! Gawd! It makes me sick!' Rivers then simulated the act of forcing herself to vomit to emphasize her disgust over the accelerating fashion disparity. 
2	VIDEO: Muslim Family Makes SHOCKING Move When National Anthem Plays... WOW President Obama has gone above and beyond for years now to remind Americans that Islam is a religion of peace and that Muslims hold the same beliefs and values that other Americans do. Of course, this ignores immense amounts of evidence to the contrarybut the true story doesnt push forward his agenda, which is all he seems to care about lately. He seems insistent that the attacks weve seen on this country have very little to do with Islam as a religion. Recently, a video was posted on the Facebook page for The Keffiyeh Monitor, showing a Muslim man being blatantly disrespectful during the national anthem at a graduation ceremony. The entire family refused to stand up for the anthem, and instead remained seated in their chairs, talking and laughing with each other. This went on for more than a minute, and its enough to make your blood boil. The anthem is meant to honor this country and the millions of people who have sacrificed and died so that we could be free. It doesnt take much to stand for this time, or at least offer a moment of silence. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous?

'Four more stolen bases and I'm up to the magic 6-2-5,' said the man who led the American League in singles in 1993 and finished in the top 26 of MVP voting four times. 'All I've got to do is bump the old career average from .299 to .300, maybe get a few more triples, and I can punch my ticket to Cooperstown.' Lofton, who noted that he was also 'a very good bunterperhaps one of the best in the 1990s'is still deciding whether he should enter the Hall as an Indian, Astro, Brave, White Sox, Giant, Pirate, Cub, Yankee, Phillie, Dodger, or Ranger. 
3	Journalism: Not What Its Cracked Up to BeBy Catherine J. Frompovich In former years, each issue of Time Magazine used to be voluminous, not the scrawny few pages it is today. Currently, newspapers are anemic renditions of their glorious past, i.e., scaled down from pages packed full of good reporting and reading into a sanitized propaganda versions of the news that spews forth what could be considered crowd control for the mind. An apparent storm of arousal to misrepresentative information from what some call the lame stream press, the alternative (alt) media and press have left mainstream news media in their dust. One reason is that the Internet allows access to global networks where some independent news reporting is very different from the supposed free press in the USA. One really has to question why U.S. citizens are not permitted to know information about certain topics discussed openly and freely in other countries, e.g., specifics regarding the dangers of vaccines, plus how numerous countries are having second thoughts about their effectiveness, and also questioning their efficacy and adverse reactions [2]. Another equally-controlled and restricted news item is whats referred to as Solar Radiation Management or weather geoengineering, aka chemtrails, which decorate the skies above our heads with toxic chemicals polluting and poisoning the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat, plus creating abnormal weather patterns we have been experiencing in recent years, and numerous die-offs around the globe [3,6]. But not all journalists are satisfied to take the cool aid (hush money) or drink from the kook aid trough, as they say. One, in particular, Dr Udo Ulfkotte, a former editor of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, one of Germanys largest newspapers, wrote the 2014 tell-all book, Bought Journalists, in which he claims that the CIA and other secret services pay money to journalists to report a particular story in a certain light. [4] What a striking, but not quite unexpected, confession to make. He claims while an editor of a major German daily has said that he personally planted stories for the CIA. [5] Dr Ulfkotte definitely seems remorseful about his past transgressions of misleading the public. Here are some of his comments: When I told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (Ulfkottes newspaper) that I would publish the book, their lawyers sent me a letter threatening with all legal consequences if I would publish any names or secrets but I dont mind. You see, I dont have children to take care of. And you must know I was severely injured during the gas attack I witnessed in Iran in 1988. Im the sole German survivor from a German poison gas attack. Im still suffering from this. Ive had three heart attacks. I dont expect to live for more than a few years. [5] He was taught to lie, to betray and not to tell the truth to the public. [5] I ended up publishing articles under my own name written by agents of the CIA and other intelligence services, especially the German secret service. [5] Im ashamed I was part of it. Unfortunately I cannot reverse this. [5] Here is an interview with Dr Ulfkotte during which he tells how the news and press indoctrination and reporting processes work. How many journalists do you think can tell similar stories? And, is there really a free press? Now, listen to what Swedish journalists are doing to hide The Rape of Sweden.

1	Browns quarterback Brady Quinn announced Wednesday that he had been staying up all night to prepare for the written portion of the starting QB competition by learning the history of the Cleveland Browns, studying football vocabulary words, and memorizing all the symbols in the playbook. 'I'm really organized and feel equipped to answer the toughest true or false, multiple choice, and fill-in-the-blank questions,' said Quinn, who was spotted using a flashlight to study underneath the sheets of his training-camp bed. 'I made flash cards, too. I know exactly where to position your hands when receiving the snap. And it took me a little while, but I can totally define a forward pass. I'm gonna ace this thing.' Quinn, upon asking coach Eric Mangini the minimum word count for their quarterback essays and whether he would be graded on a curve, was reportedly told that the QB competition was over. 
2	Here Is The Complete Unedited Footage Of Oregon Ranchers Death [VIDEO] Earlier this week, we reported that federal agents had shot Robert LaVoy Finicum in a faceoff with Oregon ranchers that left the 55-year-old dead. Now, the FBI has just released aerial footage of the incident, taken from an FBI plane. Special Agent Greg Bretzing commented during a press conference that observations of the video are based both on an analysis of this video and some ground-level observations of agents and troopers on the scene. The video, which is over eight minutes long, shows Finicum driving a white truck up to a roadblock that had been set up by agents. He was fleeing an altercation with agents up the road. When he swerved to miss the roadblock, he almost hit an agent. Finicum quickly exited the truck. Officers were warned that he was likely armed. Finicum was shot by Oregon state troopers in what they claim was self-defense. He received medical assistance 10 minutes later. I want to caution you that the video does show the shooting death of LaVoy Finicum, Bretzing commented at the conference. We realize that viewing that piece of video will be upsetting to some people, but we feel that it is necessary to show the whole thing unedited in the interest of transparency. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Warning: this contains graphic footage. 
3	Missouri Sheriffs to Lower Cost of Concealed Carry Permits, Citing Recent Terror AttacksBy Star Fox Wayne Merritt, the sheriff of Laclede County, told KY3 Newsthat he wishes to see trained, responsible citizens who arearmed, considering the governments inability to keep track of home-grown terrorists in light of the Paris and San Bernardino attacks. The government has already said they cant keep track of all these home-grown terrorists, so we cant be everywhere at the same time, so people have to be able to defend themselves, Sheriff Merritt said. Paris, as you know, has one of the strictest gun laws in the world people cant just go out and buy a gun like they can in the United States. California is the same way, they havevery strict gun laws, Continued Merritt. Starting this week, the price of concealedcarry permits inside Merritts jurisdiction will be slashed from $100 to just $65. St. Clair County Sheriff Scott Keeler in Osceola and Vernon County Sheriff Jason Mosher announced the same thing on Tuesday, that CCW permits are going from $100 to $65 this week. Jody Jamieson, an employee at the Friendly Firearms gun shop in Lebanon, Missouri, told KY3 that he has seen a recent spike in hand gun purchases and inquiries about concealed carry permits. I know word has gotten out pretty quick, Jamieson said. CCW permit applications, unsurprisingly, have also spiked in San Bernardino after mass shooters Syed Rizwan Farook and wife killed 14 people inside the Inland Regional Center. A CCW official in San Bernardino told ABC 7 that an estimated 1,100 people have filled out extensive forms and are now awaiting the next step in the screening process since the mass shooting last week. The recent attacks in Paris and California have undoubtedly woken many people up to the importance of being able to defend themselves as the police are minuets away, at best, when seconds count and no government regulations will stop a bloodthirsty lunatic who wishes to do harm. Finally some sheriffs making sense. 185,000 background checks over black friday. The more fake shootings the more firearms are bought. All this talk of terror background checks should be abolished. You are right on, my friend. Whats funny is the insane and NeoCon rhetoric about anti-gun nonsense. CCW should be a box checked on ones drivers license. There should be no expense to exercise your 2nd Amendment right. 
3	The Tale of The SlaveYoutube 
1	As the once-invincible, still-insufferable Patriots attempt to come to grips with their 17-14 Super Bowl loss to the Giants, the death of their dream to go undefeated, and the possible end of their dynasty, almost every other person in America is reveling in what they consider the perfect ending to New England's season. 'I just couldn't imagine a better ending to the Patriots odyssey,' said Simon Williams, a Kansas City-area football fan who usually watches the college game but found himself caught up in the Patriots' sheer loathsomeness during the season. 'The utter lack of humility they displayed alongside an equal lack of any joy in the game, that toad of a coach, and that cologne-ad quarterback If they have to act that badly while playing that well, you really want to see them fail in the biggest way possible. Thank God almighty, that's what we got.' There is general agreement that the Super Bowl, despite the low score, was one of the finest in recent memory, due in part to the fearsome performance by the Giants and a cool, courageous display of quarterbacking by Eli Manning. However, when asked about their favorite parts of the game, most fans chose the Patriots' cocky decision to begin the game with a trick play, which the Giants stopped handily; Bill Belichick's smug third-quarter attempt at a fourth-and-13 conversion, which blew up in his face, instead of trying a field goal; and New England's offensive line, which featured three Pro Bowlers, allowing high-cheekboned, doe-eyed, supermodel-impregnating passer Tom Brady to be hit over 20 times during the course of the game. 'Did you see [Giants defensive tackle Jay] Alford smack Brady right in the face on that last drive?' said Bellvue, WA newsstand operator Christian Dansby. 'Brady was almost offended. I think he forgot for a few months there that he was a football player. It was just perfect.' 'God, seeing Randy Moss do his weird chicken-wing crowd taunt when they scored to go ahead in the fourth was awful,' said Jeff Lafferty, who watched the Super Bowl with rabid New England fans despite having known them for years. 'What's worse is that the Pats fans ate it up. Of course, when Burress made that catch to win Perfection. That's the only word for the Pats now. Perfection.' However, most fans gave responses that had little to do with the game itself and more with the almost flawless joy of seeing the Patriots lose, as a team that has been insufferable and unappealing in victory instantly became inconsolable and self-pitying in defeat. Frequently mentioned examples of instances which, upon reflection, sweetened the Patriots' utter failure included the team's propensity to complain about unfair officiating after their victories; their habit of gleefully running up the score, which also resulted in Brady and Moss earning NFL single-season scoring records in blowouts; and of course, the players' and coaches' hateful attitude. 'Come on, that cheating scandal to open the season and all they say is 'Everybody does it?' They could have at least acted a little bit sorry,' said Milwaukee architect and sports fan David Engel. 'They acted like a bunch of third-graders, just the way Belichick did when he ran off the field with time left on the clock. At least he shook the other coach's hand this time. That's a first for the big baby.' 'The worst part for me is that none of them seem to enjoy playing football,' said Lexington, KY-area mechanic Jack Colgrave. 'Even when they were winning, all they did was tauntRandy Moss taunting crowds, Wes Welker telling people they sucked, Brady sneering at the very idea they might get beat someday. What a bunch of absolutely perfect assholes.' 'Did their team plane land safely back in Foxborough?' Colgrave asked. 'It didn't happen to lose altitude over Boston, burst into a cartwheel of flames, throwing players like Roman candles across New England, and then slam into few dozen loudmouth Patriots' fans houses? It didn't? Well, I guess no football season is perfect.' 
3	Media Mind Control For DummiesBy Lenon Honor I have been invited to return to the Free Your Mind Conference in Philadelphia this April 10, 11, and 12. This conference has been at the forefront of exposing media mind control and is a must attend event. While in the midst of the media mind control global apparatus an individual will not realize that they are being subconsciously influenced nor will they realize the sometimes overt, but mainly covert, means of subconscious manipulation present within the media mind control global apparatus. Within this apparatus there are many who believe that they are making conscious decisions about the direction of their lives. However, in many cases, such individuals are simply provided with the belief that the choices that they are making are based upon their own conscious awareness; choices that are, in fact, the result of media manipulation i.e. mind control programming. The mind control programming is perpetual and is designed to, in the first place, deny the mind control victim of its ability to consciously choose, and to ultimately insight a predetermined psychological, and or emotional, and or physical response within the individual so affected. A classic example of this would be Occupy Wall Street (2011) which was a social/cultural experiment that had global influence via behavior modification. People the world over were mesmerized/programmed into thinking, reacting, and behaving in a predetermined way without conscious thought while believing that they had made a conscious choice. Many of the media mind control programs are strategically designed to create such a belief; the belief that any given choice is the result of a conscious thought process. Understand that there is no better way to control the masses than to have the masses believe that they are making a conscious choice; a choice that ultimately disempowers them. Those who produce the programming to initialize this process of behavior modification are well aware of the behavioral expressions manifested via the manipulation of the subconscious mind. This is to say that the vast majority of those who embraced Occupy Wall Street did so not out of a conscious choice, but rather out of subconscious manipulation. Subsequent behavior patterns that resulted from such manipulation were predictable and were the result of the subconscious acceptance or the subconscious embracing of the Occupy Wall Street Mind Control Program. This subconscious-sourced embrace can be applied to various media focal points including the current Trayvon Martin media blitz (2012), wherein a great tragedy has been hijacked by media and turned into a means of manipulating the masses into engaging in thought patterns, emotional patterns, and behavior patterns that are conducive to the trivialization of the tragedy itself. This subconscious-sourced embrace is actualized by a very precise, scientific, and ordered process; one that is repeated over and over again; the only change occurring in the topic of focus. Let me explain what I mean by this. As it relates to the manipulation of the subconscious mind so as to actualize the acceptance or the embrace of a particular issue, as being relevant to the mind control victim, there is a precise modus operandi employed. In my 14-hour video series How to Decode Media Manipulation 101 I outline, at length, the various methods employed. For brevitys sake I will outline the general procedure as it relates to the aforementioned media mind control program: The masses are given something to focus on, something to externalize energy to, something to externalize power to, something to love, something to hate, something to believe in, something to distrust, something to divide the masses amongst themselves. The object of focus can be a person, an idea, a concept, a thought pattern, an institution, a perceived cause or movement, or an illusion. Regardless of the form of the object of focus, once the masses accept the object of focus as being relevant to them they unconsciously consent to their own manipulation; a manipulation that media delivers via repetition, media saturation, sensory overload, neuro-linguistic programming, race-based divisional constructs, religio-centric diversions, political/governmental authoritative stage shows, graphical representations of reality, computer generated images, falsified news stories, exaggerated news stories, subliminal associations, subliminal suggestion, fear-based mind control programing, strategic tonal/vocal frequency application, ad infinitum: all designed as a means of mass diversion; so that the individual constantly looks externally instead of looking internally and asking the question, What do I need to do to improve upon my own condition so that I can make a respectful contribution to the upliftment of all of humanity? This level of mass diversion is purposeful and actually maintains a particular power structure. This maintenance is also strategic, and is actualized not through physical force but rather though careful and long-term manipulation of the human beings subconscious mind. The individual whose subconscious mind has been manipulated into externalizing focus believes that by externalizing focus they will change the power structure itself; not realizing that the externalization of focus is what maintains and emboldens the power structure in the first place; a fascinating paradox to say the least. I must also mention that the behavior patterns that manifest out of this externalization of focus are Perfectly Predictable. As a brief example: Posting memes, short videos, blogs, etc. about the Global Bankers, the Illuminati, George Bush, Freemasons, Barack Obama, the Queen of England, Nicki Minajs Grammy outfit, Madonnas Halftime Super Bowl Ritual, Occupy Wall Street, Monsanto, or Troy Davis are all predictable behavior patterns, and are, from the vantage point of the Media Production Think Tanks, symptomatic of the degree to which the masses have been mind-controlled. Understand that it was perfectly predictable that the masses would jump on board the Occupy Wall Street media mind control program. It was perfectly predictable that the masses would jump on board the Occupy Monsanto media mind control program. It was perfectly predictable that the masses would jump on board the Kony 2012 media mind control program. And now it is perfectly predictable that the masses would jump on board the Trayvon Martin media mind control program; the programming in this particular case is so deep that adults are currently walking around wearing hoodies, as if a simple fashion statement is somehow a meaningful contribution to the upliftment of the human species. In essence, the great injustice committed against Trayvon Martin has been reduced to a hoodie. I will tell you that these childish displays are symptomatic of the efficiency of mind control programing and the ability that such programming has in modifying human behavior; behaviors that are predetermined and perfectly predictable. I must also mention that the degree of accuracy, in behavior modification predictability, functions as entertainment to those who are part of the Media Mind Control Think Tanks (more on this later). Human behavior is constantly being modified. This modification is largely actualized through the manipulation of the subconscious mind. With these levels of manipulation established, the behavior of the manipulated individual will, in most cases, be determined prior to the manipulation taking place. In others words the behavior modification is perfectly predictable and the programming needed to realize such modification is the means to that end. Here are just a few examples of behavior modification wherein the masses are manipulated to place focus or relevance upon things that they would not have even considered as relevant to them had their subconscious mind not been so affected by media manipulation: Trayvon Martin Hoodies, skinny jeans, ripped jeans, planking, silly banz, sagging pants, Kriss-Cross pants, flat tops, jheri curls, the shag, mullets, Tebow mania, Lynsanity, gangster rap, Air Jordan Shoes, high heel shoes, cigarettes, excessive tatooing, cougarism, polygamy, so called girl power, man purses, 2012 Doomsday Prophecy, the BP Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico, etc. Most people who have jumped aboard any of the above-mentioned media mind control programs did not do so through intellectual processes. Instead, they were programmed to do so via subconscious manipulation which brought forth a psychological condition wherein the individual disconnects from their ability to consciously choose; and is subsequently subject to the subconscious programming that brings about emotional reactions, childish behaviors patterns, and an overwhelming surrender of personal power and personal responsibility. Most importantly please understand that: This level of surrender functions as entertainment for those who produce the media mind control programs. In essence, the masses are provided with various entertainment topics that stimulate in the masses a predetermined psychological, emotional, and physical response. The stimulated response becomes entertainment for those who produced the media mind control programs. This is what I call The Media Manipulation Petri Dish; the manipulated masses are the bacteria that are manipulated from afar; carefully kept at a safe distance from the scientists/social engineers. (What I have just shared should be meditated on at length.) There are those who will say that any of the aforementioned media mind control programs are important and that they must focus on such things in order to create change. I will say to these particular people, that time always tells the truth, and that if you make a conscious choice to simply write down any given media mind control program, and wait 3 months, you will soon find that what you believed to be worth your time, what you believed to be relevant, what you believed would create positive change was simply a waste of energy and a waste of valuable time; energy and time that one could direct towards improving upon ones internal condition thusly coming to a place of personal empowerment; an empowerment that would provide the necessary tools to create positive change. Again, if you waited just 3 months you would realize that you were led to focus on something that didnt matter to you prior to media manipulating you into believing that it mattered. You will find that this manipulation was subconscious. You will find that the stories that you rallied around were completely irrelevant to you from the beginning. In many cases you will find that the stories that occupied your thoughts so vehemently faded away in direct proportion to medias toning down its reporting on such stories. This is to say, that in such a case, media controls what occupies your mind, your time, and your energy. As soon as media picks up a story it becomes relevant to you. As soon as media drops a story it is no longer relevant. Again, write down those stories that you feel are currently relevant to you and wait 3 months to see whether or not those stories were worth your focus. Again, this is a 3 month challenge and during those 3 months you must not subconsciously embrace any new media mind control programs. In waiting 3 months you will also find that any given story will be re-packaged and re-distributed so as to reinforce predictable behavior patterns as was the case with Occupy Wall Street and Occupy Monsanto, The Death of Osama Bin Laden and The Death of Moammar Gadhafi, Troy Davis and Trayvon Martin, ad infinitum. Special note: If you really want to challenge yourself you can look at the recycling of stories that occur over decades such as Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq and Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iran: this happens to be part of the Regime Change Script (R.C.S.) and is part of the broader mind control apparatus which I have termed The Global Motion Picture Stage Show. I am often asked for my opinion concerning the various media mind control programs issued through news media. I frequently dismiss such inquiries in that, after 5 years of research, countless hours of documentary work, and countless radio shows on the topic, I have come to the realization that no form of media manipulation can take place without some level of consent and that all forms of media manipulation are external in the first place and can be easily neutralized via internal purification. Far too many are unwilling to engage in the process of internal purification and, as a psychological defense mechanism, subconsciously embrace any external distraction that media presents. This subconscious acceptance, in effect, absolves the individual from rectifying their own internal psychological turbulence; for it is easier to focus on distractions that are outside of you than to deal with the mentality that resides inside of you. Those who commit to improving upon their internal condition will be equipped to make the greatest contribution to uplifting the human species. Those who commit to focusing on external distractions will be susceptible to the various techniques and strategies of media mind control. My dear family and friends the time is now. It is time to look internally and ask the critical question, What do I need to do to improve upon my own condition so that I can make a respectful contribution to the upliftment of all of humanity? When you are able to fully answer this question you will arrive at a place of personal empowerment and conscious choice. As a result you will be in a position to begin the process of creating positive change for all of humanity. I will be joining dozens of other great speakers to discuss these topics, and many other issues that are facing our world at this time.

1	In what Exxon officials described as 'an urgent wake-up call to the nation,' scientists from the oil giant's paleontological-research arm released a report Monday calling for an 'immediate and substantial' increase in U.S. fossil production. Exxon paleontologist Jameson Lamm (right) surveys a company-owned site in West Texas containing 50-million-year-old fossil deposits. 'America's fossil deposits are running alarmingly low,' said Dr. Jameson Lamm, head of Exxon's paleontological research and development team. 'At the current rate at which we are producing new fossils in this country, we will not have enough to meet the next decade's fossil needs for another 12 to 15 hundred million years.' Fossilization, the report said, represents America's best method for converting organic plant and animal remnants into exploitable chemical-energy sources via the pressure of miles of layers of rock over millions of years. Describing the fossilization process as 'virtually free, except for digging, pumping, processing, storage, by-product-disposal and shipping costs,' the report stressed the importance of maintaining a high overall fossil yield to the long-term reliability and availability of chemical energy sources. 'Without fossils, all the pressure of all the crust of all the Earth doesn't amount to a thing,' Lamm said. 'All it does is compress layers of runoff sediment into a useless underground strata of sedimentary and metamorphic rock. It doesn't provide electrical power, heat, plasticizers, synthetic rubber or space-age synthetic petrochemical fibers. For that we need fossils and, to be frank, plenty of them.' According to the Exxon study, Earth is currently producing newly fossilized material at a rate of 550 pounds per year919,450,000,020,000 percent slower than the rate needed to meet the nation's minimum fossil-related needs for the next decade. 'The dire need for faster fossil production in the United States cannot be overstated,' the 400-page report concluded. Exxon paleontologist Dr. Richard Oliva said that the roots of the current fossil shortage lie in years of fossil waste. An Exxon field team on a fossil-fuel dig in Oklahoma. 'Gross fossil misuse and mismanagement, such as the reckless, irresponsible practice of digging up dinosaur bones and other remains of prehistoric lifeforms for useless, trivial and unproductive display in museums, must not be tolerated,' Oliva said. 'Left undisturbed, as intended by nature, such residue of long-extinct lifeforms may have eventually matured into valuable deposits of coal and oil. Sadly, though, for the many fossils currently on display in museums or in use in scientific studies, this will never happen.' 'We may enjoy the selfish pleasures of viewing exhibits of dinosaur skeletons and studying prehistoric biology,' Oliva said, 'but every time we do, we are robbing our children, and our children's children.' In addition to advocating the elimination of fossil waste, the Exxon study called for the government to immediately prioritize the creation of new fossils. The study urged Congress to establish federal economic incentives that would encourage prairie, forest and wetlands regions to deteriorate, decay, become buried in the accumulated silt of rivers, and be crushed into fossil fuel by the accumulated weight of miles of rock layers above, ideally 'within the next seven to 15 years.' 'America does not need ecosystems on the surface of the earth, where they do no good,' Oliva said. 'We need them buried under miles of rock strata, where they can be converted into valuable energy resources.' Calling the current fossil crisis 'a threat to the future of us all,' Oliva described the relocation of vast tracts of surface terrain to new zones deep within the earth's crust 'the responsibility of each and every one of us.' In a joint statement, spokespersons from 91 of the world's top 100 leading oil corporations hailed the Exxon proclamation as 'a whisper of sanity in a self-destructive world.' 'Sure, we could try to develop other energy sources, but we have no way of knowing if they would sustain us in the long run,' Global Tetrahedron CEO Hank Blakeley said. 'Yes, solar energy looks good on paper, but how do we know the sun will continue to shine at its present rate? Much of the sun remains unexplored, and our information about it is sketchy at best. Our sun could dim drastically over time, or even wink out entirely tomorrow, for all we know. Only by ensuring the continued transformation of our nation's ecosystems into subterranean strata of raw, non-renewable chemical fuels can we ensure a future for our children and our planet.' 
1	According to a Quinnipiac University poll conducted this week, a homemade anti-Obama sign has surged to the front of the 2012 Republican presidential field, emerging as the clear favorite to earn the party's nomination in next year's primaries. The telephone survey of 773 likely voters indicated the sign, a piece of poster board bearing the handwritten phrase 'NOBAMA 2012' in bold red letters, would defeat former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, its nearest rival, by a landslide 17 percentage points if the primaries were held today. The poll also found the sign had a 'favorable' or 'highly favorable' rating among 94 percent of registered Republicans, a figure greater than all other presumptive GOP candidates combined. 'We're seeing that voters find the sign more charismatic, more likeable, and much more engaging than other Republican candidates,' said political analyst Mark Halperin, adding that the poster's message resonates strongly with conservatives. 'In the end, it comes down to two things: the ability to energize the party base, and the power to instill confidence and appear presidential. Right now, it's the sign by far.' 'Frankly,' Halperin added, 'this is the brightest star to emerge from the Republican ranks in the last several elections.' According to Halperin, the 22-by-28-inch poster emerged as a serious contender for the Republican nomination because it offers a clear, consistent vision and refuses to compromise on its fundamental principles. Beltway insiders have also noted that the slogan 'Liberty, not debt' on the back of the sign has solidified its appeal with the influential Tea Party bloc. In addition, the sign has been warmly embraced by social conservatives, who are reportedly drawn to its clean image and lack of personal or political baggage. A recent Zogby poll showed that Americans who identified themselves as values voters favored the sign by a staggering 40-to-1 ratio over former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. 'I like what that sign has to say,' said 46-year-old Brandon LaFollette of Florence, SC, adding that while he likes the way the poster addresses all his political and economic concerns, it's also the only Republican candidate he could see himself sitting down and having a beer with. 'I agree with its positions on the deficit, health care, unemployment, gas priceseverything. And it's not afraid to stand up to the president on every issue.' 'Sign 2012!' he added. Having proved its ability to rally broad segments of the political right, and having suddenly invigorated a campaign season that had been widely considered lackluster and uninspiring, the sign has prompted political pundits to anoint the glossy white placard as 'the new face of the GOP' and 'a modern-day Ronald Reagan.' 'Unfortunately for its competitors, the sign has very few vulnerabilities,' said GOP strategist Mike Murphy, who claimed the poster was poised to 'coast' to the Republican nomination next August. 'It communicates to voters in unambiguous, straightforward terms, it's photogenic, and it possesses a remarkable ability to stay on message.' 'The fact that it set a single-day fundraising record doesn't surprise me at all,' added Murphy, referring to the $40 million haul it received last Tuesday from an estimated 350,000 citizens, the National Right to Life Committee, the Altria Group, dozens of evangelical radio personalities, the National Rifle Association, the energy lobby, and Charles G. and David H. Koch. With both moderate and hard-line conservatives lining up behind the handmade poster, Murphy said the sign should focus on the difficult task of winning over crucial independent voters. He argued that if a seasoned anti-tax bumper sticker or an American flag lapel pin were selected as its running mate, the sign could broaden its standing in swing states and pose a formidable challenge to the incumbent Obama. As the buzz surrounding the sign continues to mount, other Republican candidates have reportedly scrambled to reframe their campaigns and capture a share of the rising voter enthusiasm. 'While the sign and I share a common vision for the future, I would hope that voters turn to a candidate with experience,' former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty said. 'I may not have the same gift of rhetorical flourish, and I may not be as magnetic or compelling as the poster, but this shouldn't be a popularity contest. If it were, none of us would stand a chance against the sign. We know that.' At press time, Pawlenty had dropped out of the race and was expected to make an announcement Thursday fully endorsing the sign. 
1	Months following his record-setting 2012 campaign, Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson shocked football fans Wednesday, revealing that he played much of last season with a severely broken heart. A certain someone banged up my heart pretty bad, but I wasnt about to let that stop me from doing what had to be done, said the Lions wideout, who last year caught 122 passes for an NFL record 1,964 yards while reportedly suffering from the chronic pain and anguish of having his heart torn out and shattered into a thousand pieces. Sure, it makes it difficult to perform when youve had your heart trampled on by the one person who told you she would always be there for you. It really hurts, but when a situation like that arises, you just gotta play through it, you know? At press time, Johnson added, Lilah. Oh, Lilah, Lilah, Lilah. 
3	Were the Nice Attacks A False Flag Or A Lone Nut?By Brandon Turbeville So which is it? Is the Nice attack a false flag, a terror attack, or the work of a lone nut in the midst of a psychotic break? At this point, there is not enough evidence to declare a position either way. However, there are some interesting points surrounding the attack that could signal a possible false flag and/or government sponsored terror attack. Because the mainstream outlets refuse to acknowledge the possibility of such an attack, it is incumbent upon us to mention and discuss them at least briefly so that all possibilities are on the table. While mainstream media outlets and law enforcement agencies are claiming that the attacker, 31-year-old delivery driver, Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, was not known to have any direct terror connections and thus an act of a psychologically damaged and depressed man, world leaders are nonetheless condemning the attack as an act of terror and are using the attack to justify a greater erosion of what is left of civil liberties and extension of declarations of a state of emergency. The Telegraph describes Bouhlel by writing: Neighbours described him as a very weird loner and father of three who had recently become estranged from his wife and had become depressed following the breakdown of his marriage. A woman living in the same shabby apartment block as Bouhel today told how he seemed very weird. She told The Telegraph: He lived alone. He said very little to anyone and wasnt very polite. He wouldnt hold the door open for you. Still, the news agency writes that Bouhel had no known links with terrorism and was not under surveillance. But, if these accounts are to be believed and Bouhel did not commit an act of terror but an act of random violence, that is not stopping French Ministers and other world leaders from taking advantage of the attack to drum up support for more militarism within their own borders and for the war on terror. Consider again, The Telegraph report which writes, New Prime Minister Theresa May said Britain must redouble its efforts to defeat brutal terrorist murderers after the horrifying attack, as she called a meeting of senior officials in the Governments emergency Cobra committee. President Francois Hollande meanwhile spoke of a monstrosity, and said soldiers would be deployed to support gendarmes and police, particularly at the countrys borders. . . . . . Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said: We are at war with terrorists who want to strike us at any cost and who are extremely violent. Another interesting aspect of the Nice attack was the fact that the attackers identity papers were found in the truck after he was killed. While finding documents of identification are not necessarily in and of themselves something that points to a false flag having taken place, we must bear in mind the alarming levels of coincidences where mass shooters, terrorists, suicide bombers, and other attackers often leave passports, I.D.s and other identifying documents in conspicuous places to be found by investigators and media organizations. Thus, we have to ask, is it a prerequisite to have passports and related I.D. papers present or in full view before committing a terrorist attack, or is it merely a way of allowing the attacker and thus the patsy organization/bogeyman to be identified immediately for greater propaganda effect? Like virtually all of the other terrorists in Europe and the United States, Bouhlel was known to police prior to the attacks. However, unlike prior perpetrators, Bouhlel was not known for terrorist related activity but for petty crimes including domestic violence and using weapons as well as road rage. Although we are unaware of the specifics of Bouhlels charges, it is interesting that using weapons would be considered petty, especially in France where simply owning a weapon is crime enough. As Yahoo! News Australia reported: While he had several run-ins with the law previously, Bouhlel, a 31-year-old Nice resident born in Tunisia, was not on a watch list of French intelligence services as a suspected militant. He was convicted for the first time in March this year, French Justice Minister Jean-Jacques Urvoas said. There was an altercation between him and another driver and he hurled a wooden pallet at the man, Urvoas said. As it was his first conviction, Bouhlel was given a suspended sentence and had to contact police once a week, which he did. Tunisian security sources told Reuters Bouhlel had last visited his hometown of Msaken four years ago. He was married with three children, but had marital problems, the Tunisian sources said. He was not known by the Tunisian authorities to hold radical views, and had held a French residence permit for the past 10 years without obtaining French nationality, Tunisian sources said. The Telegraph also gives further information in regards to the profile of Bouhlel as a potential terrorist. According to The Telegraph as well as a number of other mainstream media reports, Bouhlel was not even a practicing Muslim, having visited the Mosque only beginning in April and having been an otherwise normal 31 year old in France. The Telegraph reports: The Bastille Day killer described by Isil as a soldier of Islam regularly used dating sites to pick up male and female lovers, it was claimed on Sunday night. Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlels mobile phone records suggest he used dating websites and dabbled with drugs and drink, French media reported. The handset was picked up by police officers after they shot him dead last Thursday in a lorry that he had used to kill 84 people on the Promenade des Anglais, in the French city of Nice. According to officers, the phone is proving more important to the investigation than the seven suspects currently in custody for their links to the terrorist. The killer is said to have sent a chilling text message demanding weapons minutes before the seafront massacre. . . . . . Bouhlels phone is said to be full of messages, videos and photographs, including ones of men and women he had recently slept with. The testimony which investigators are relying on most is that of the mobile phone, reported the BFM TV news channel, basing their report on evidence leaked to them. Two hundred officers are now working exclusively on inquiries related to data found on the phone. Bouhlel loved sending selfie photos to people, and would record all of his relationships with other people, however brief. He visited gyms and salsa bars regularly, and would also visit websites showing pictures of executions, said BFM TV. The busy sex life of a man who had recently discovered a religious faith is shown by the data on the device, BFM added. . . . . . A psychiatrist who saw him in 2004 told LExpress that Bouhlel had come to him because of behavioural problems and that he diagnosed him as suffering fromthe beginnings of psychosis. The French interior minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, said the attacker appears to have become radicalised very quickly as one neighbour of his estranged wife added: Mohamed only started visiting a mosque in April. Was Bouhlel truly a disturbed individual who had a psychotic break brought on by the circumstances of his life? Or was he recruited by an intelligence agency at the Mosque, seeing a mentally ill potential patsy for another false flag event? Unfortunately, with Bouhlel dead, we will never know the answer to this question. One important question to ask, however, is that, if Bouhlel was merely a lone nut acting as a result of a psychotic break, why did he have accomplices? A lone nut is not likely to have a network of assistance in a terror attack if he is, indeed, a lone nut. Again, The Telegraph: According to officers, the phone is proving more important to the investigation than the seven suspects currently in custody for their links to the terrorist. The killer is said to have sent a chilling text message demanding weapons minutes before the seafront massacre. Suspects range from two Albanians suspected of supplying a pistol toBouhlel, and others whose phone numbers appeared on the phone. Another man, 37, arrested in Nice on Sunday is suspected of supplying arms to the killer after reportedly receiving messages saying: Bring more weapons, bring five of them to C. The message is said to have been sent 18 minutes before he ploughed a 19-tonne lorry into holiday crowds, killing 84 people. More than 200 investigators were urgently working to determine the significance of C and whether the killer had accomplices or links with a terrorist network. Seven people including a woman were in custody on Sunday night after the arrests earlier in the day of an Albanian couple suspected of aiding Bouhlel, described by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) as one its soldiers. He sent a flurry of texts shortly before the attack. Another one, saying Ive got the material, was sent to one of the men in custody, whose identities have not been made public. Bouhlel fired a 7.65mm automatic handgun at police before they shot him dead on Thursday night. Other weapons found in the lorry turned out to be fakes or replicas. If so many other weapons turned out to be fakes, who would act as an accomplice in a terror attack, why would they provide Bouhlel with fake weapons? Why would a terrorist or a lone nut for that matter load a truck full of fake weapons before committing his attack? The first explanation that comes to mind for this would be that he was the target of a sting operation where he was told he was actually shipping weapons to a terrorist organization but where intelligence agencies did not want Bouhlel or the organization to actually receive them.There are still more interesting notes about Bouhlel. The Telegraph writes, Investigators examining Bouhlels phone records found evidence that he was in contact with known Islamic radicals. However, an intelligence source cautioned: That could just be a coincidence, given the neighbourhood where he lived. Everyone knows everyone there. He seems to have known people who knew Omar Diaby (a known local Islamist believed to be linked with the Al Nusra group close to Al Qaeda). Relatives have reportedly claimed Bouhlel, in the days before the attack, persuaded friends to smuggle 84,000 in cash back to his family in their hometown of Msaken, Tunisia. His brother Jaber also said he had not seen his brother for several years and the money had come as a complete surprise. Having connections to known Islamic radicals and having recently come into a sizeable amount of cash inexplicably and suddenly (we are assuming he did not convince them to smuggle their own cash), we must again wonder about Bouhlels social networks and the networks which may have provided him with this cash and assistance. Was it the DGSE? Was it the CIA? Or was it something else? One hallmark of the false flag operation is the running of drills shortly before or during the actual attack. Many times, these drills will involve the actual sequence of events that takes place during the real life attack. These drills have been present on large-scale false flags such as 9/11 as well as smaller scale attacks like the Aurora shooting. For instance, as Webster Tarpley documents in his book 9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made In USA, at least 46 drills were underway in the months leading up to 9/11 and on the morning of the attack. These 46 drills were all directly related to the events which took place on 9/11 in some way or other.[1] Likewise, the 7/7 bombings in London were running drills of exactly the same scenario that was occurring at exactly the same times and locations. Although one reason may take precedence over the other depending on the nature and purpose of the operation drills are used by false flag operators for at least two reasons. One such purpose is the creation of intentional confusion if the drill is taking place during the actual attack. The other, more effective aspect, however, is using the drill as a cloak to plan the attack or even go live when it comes time to launch the event. Even more so, it gives the individuals who are involved in the planning of the event an element of cover, especially with the military/intelligence agencys tight chain of command structure and need-to-know basis. If a loyal military officer or intelligence agent stumbles upon the planning of the attack, that individual can always be told that what he has witnessed is nothing more than the planning of a training exercise. This deniability continues all the way through to the actual going live of the drill. After the completion of the false flag attack, Coincidence Theory is used to explain away the tragic results.[1] While no drills appear to have been taking place during the Nice attack, drills had been taking place all across France in the lead-up to it. In early April of this year, French emergency services staged a mock terror attack ahead of Euro 2016 after the Paris and Brussels attacks and ahead of the Nice attack. The Daily Mail described the drills by writing: Officials in France have staged a mock terrorist attack as the country prepares to host the European Championship this summer and these pictures show what would happen if there is use of chemical weapons. More than 2,000 people from the French emergency services took part in a fake chemical attack designed to give them the best possible training should the tournament by targeted. Again, in late April 2016, French security forces undertook a drill that involved a simulated terrorist attack on the steps of the Cannes Film Festival. Deadline.com provided a summary of the drills. It reported: French police used the steps of theCannes Film Festivals famed Palais on Thursday as the focal point of a security exercise that included a simulated terrorist attack. The planned event went down less than a month before the French Riviera town hosts the 69th edition of the festival. France has been on high alert since the attacks in Paris in November killed 130, and the Brussels attacks last month. The country is also playing host to soccers European Championship this summer. The fest runs May 11-22, while Euro 2016 runs June 10-July 10 in Saint-Denis, Lens, Lyon, Lille, Paris, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Saint-Etienne, Marseille and Cannes neighbor Nice. In the terror simulation Thursday, attackers scaled the Palais steps with police in pursuit attempting to secure the area and eliminate the threat (see footage below courtesy of AFP; click through to YouTube). Reuters reported that 200 volunteers took part in the exercise, which occurred right at the epicenter of Cannes glitzy and A-list-plus red carpets that go along with films world premiere screenings inside. In early June, terror drills were conducted in Lyon, France where a terrorist attack and mass shooter were simulated. The Telegraph describes the drills: French special forces swooped on Lyon in a mock terror training exercise ahead of the official start of Euro 2016. The drill included a bomb attack followed by armed gunmen at the citys fan zone where supporters will gather to watch matches live on a big screen. Emergency responders took part in a mock terror training exercise as travelling fans were warned that tournament venues are potential targets for terrorist attacks. Fears over fan zones have heightened in recent days after the Foreign Office warned Britons planning to travel that they must be vigilant at all times. These drills did not take place in Nice nor did they simulate an individual driving a truck through a crowd but they are worthy of note and contextualization nonetheless. Whether these drills were preparation for a false flag attack, legitimate preparation by security forces who are unaware at the lower levels that their superiors are actually involved in the funding and spread of terrorism and jihadism across the globe or even whether they were mere attempts at acclimation for the general public is up for debate. Regardless of who is actually responsible for the attack in Nice, the fact is that Western governments, the French government in particular, are seizing upon it as an excuse to continue their own jihad against civil liberties. If anyone gained from Nice, it is not the perpetrator but the government of France who has now extended its state of emergency and will no doubt continue to clamp down on the rights of French citizens. NATO, too, is set to gain from a recently invigorated French resolve to fight terror over there so they can avoid continuing to fight it over here. Of course, at the end of the day, there is not enough evidence to declare that the Nice attacks were false flags or, for that matter, that they were not. At this point, one explanation is as likely to be accurate as the other. Whatever the case, there is little doubt that the situation for the French people is about to get worse.

The people we depend upon for leadership in perceived authority as well as the media have devolved into knee jerk reactions and trendy sound bites as their primary method of investigation and fact finding. We have lost the ability to carefully and methodically present the facts as they present themselves without adding their own spin for self serving reasons. Everything in the mainstream media, and about half in alternative media is a lie. Not evthing. Lets say 99% That Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel carried his ID papers proves nothing. In France, people having foreign roots had better carry the papers because if not, you have a higher risk of being taken to the police station if questioned by the police. This whole article is nothing but speculations avoiding the fact that the terrorist belonged to the islamic culture and carried out a typical muslim act while shouting Allah Akbar. This madness has been going on for 1.400 years. Complete staged hoax, nobody died. Is NO ONE awake out there? Yes, you are not alone, though on this site it may seem so. A stupid article with brainwashed fools in reply for the most part. Hang in there. So, you have evidence that the 3 Americans alleged to have died, are still alive? You have some kind of proof that there were no deaths? Please elaborate. Wont be long before you spot them spending the proceeds of GoFundMe. After all theres no evidence to prove they died either, only what your imagination has created from the lies of the controlled media. Thanks. After Sandy Hook, the alleged children murdered were located in photos attending other schools, and the huge monetary payments to various families were tracked. I will be looking. A Texas father and his son were supposed to have been killed in Nice as they were on vacation. It takes time for autopsies to be done and for the coroner to identify victims bodies etc. But within 24 hours of the attack the family had already issued a statement on CNN and the their photos were being plastered on social media sites. Even the kids baseball coach had been interviewed and statements given by friends. And within this 24 hrs, the coach, according to CNN, had set up a GoFundMe page. $600 had already been raised at the time of the interview. Believable? To me the whole thing is transparent BS. Type in the following on CNNs youtube channel if you can take it. Both vids about 1-2 mins 1. Texas father and son killed in Nice, France I dont know what happened, but Ive seen pictures that show the truck was not covered in blood, and that some of the bodies look like mannequins. Id like to hear the explanations for these things. There were hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of direct first hand witnesses. According to the press 85 wounded went to hospital. Brainwashed. Believe all the propaganda. Several facts mentioned above leap off the page. One is the large sums of cash that Bouhlel asked others to smuggle to his family in Tunisia. At age 31, he already had 3 kids. His wife was estranged, separated, and he was spending most of his time meeting sexual partners. What is the source of all the money? It was confirmed by his brother. Was he paid to do this terrorist job? Another fact is the fake guns. Why? We know the mayor of Nice, France asked for more security at this event. He was very concerned with the lax security and the additional 30,000 expected tourists. Since the event required the shutting down of the street, and Bouhlel had been there for about 9 hours, why does it appear Bouhlel had no difficulty getting into position to begin this rampage, and why were there no concrete pillars or barriers erected to prevent vehicles coming into an area designated solely for pedestrians? How was Bouhlel allowed to go forward so that he could endanger anyone? Why did the police not ascertain whether there was any ice cream as alleged in the truck? If France wants to allow Muslims into France to boost its own supply of cheap labor, it must ensure that the French are not the victims of terrorists without eliminating the rights of law abiding citizens. Was the truck even a refrigerated one? Massive hoax, mate, massive hoax on closer inspection of the bullet holes (no exit holes,hmmmm) look squared more like a lug wrench of something like that. I love False Flag Weekly News with Kevin Barrett of Truth Jihad Radio. Youll learn a lot of details you will NEVER hear covered in the mainstream news. Anders Breivik knew what was being prepared to be unleashed upon Europe and he gave us all a Heads Up. I dare you to research Why Who was Targeted by Anders Breivik, before you start your ranting raves. Of Course the Breivik attack may have been a sort of pre-authorized excuse to lend spiritual license for the Muslim Invasion of Europe part II. The MSM propagandists insist on pointing their accusatory fingers at Breiviks exploits that justify Europe stand-down and Take What Punishment It Deserves! Compelling viewpoint! 
1	Coldwell Banker receptionist Annette Lyon, 29, discovered an unattributed screenplay for a feature-length erotic thriller on a printer shared by all of the Evanston-branch employees Monday, raising company-wide speculation as to the script's author. Lyon holds the erotic-horror screenplay. 'It was a very thick stack of paper, but I didn't take it off the printer until about 40 other things had already come and gone,' said Lyon, who found the 116-page screenplay just after lunch. 'At that point, it seemed to me like, if the author of Darkness Of Passion really didn't want people reading it, he wouldn't have left it sitting there.' Added Lyon: 'Knowing what I know now, I wish I'd just left well enough alone.' The screenplay follows the adventures of a Chicago rock-club owner drawn into the intrigue surrounding a series of mysterious deaths, which follow the arrival of a rock band made up of four beautiful women from Eastern Europe. 'There's a lot of pouting, torn blouses that reveal pear-shaped breasts, and girl-on-girl grinding,' Lyon said. 'By the fourth speech about 'the sensuality of blood,' I started getting pretty creeped out. I never would've guessed that someone in this office had that many sexual hang-ups. Yuck.' In the script, violent murder scenes are interspersed with graveyard seductions, moonlit nude baths, and a six-page monologue about the 'intersection of death and desire.' After reading the work in its entirety, Lyon showed it to several of her coworkers. 'Check this out!' office manager Helen Gates said. 'The vampire says, 'Darkness is a mask like any other. Put the mask in place, and allow your true passions to ride.' God, it's so over the top! It's hysterical.' Gates and Lyon shared several theories about who might have written the script. 'About 90 different people share the printer,' Lyon said. 'Judging by what I read, the author is a man. He's a pretty solid speller and has a working knowledge of the bus routes, so that rules out just about all of management.' 'Whoever it is,' Gates said, 'there's no question he has a thing for bondage.' Lyon flipped to a random page of the script and read aloud. ''Unaware of the ruthlessness of the vampiress she is pleasuring, the supple-bodied groupie digs her nails into Esmerelda's back, leaving a tracing of gouges'you know, maybe we should really stop speculating,' Lyon said, dropping the script with distaste. 'It might be best if we don't find out who wrote this after all.' Undaunted, Gates continued to try to deduce the script's author. '[Sales representative] Janet Delaney is a serious conservative Christian, so she'd never write about fucking a crucifix,' Gates said. 'And [vice-president of marketing] Joe Opper isn't creative enough to write his own letters, let alone a movie. [Assistant manager] Tony Bursell talks about movies a lot, but he's gay. Even though I can see Tony getting into the ancient sexual rites of the Celtic goddess Agrona and the lust of Count Drakul, all the lesbian sex points to an author who's straight.' An excerpt from <i>Darkness Of Passion</i>. Gates brought up the possibility that a coworker had printed the screenplay for a friend, but Lyon dismissed the idea, pointing out that several of the characters closely resemble Coldwell Banker employees. 'Take the uptight woman who gets impaled on a tree branch,' Lyon said. 'That woman was obviously [sales supervisor] Darcy Gasneythe clothes, the hair color, the clipped way she talks. I saw a little of myself in Emily, the tough but sensitive virginal woman with the, uh, huge breaststhe one who becomes the vampire's slave, not the one who sings in the girl band. But I also saw myself in Felicia, the tough but sensitive biker bartender with large breasts. Well, neither character is particularly flattering.' When the conversation turned to the script's plot, the small group of assembled coworkers temporarily forgot their curiosity about the script's author, focusing instead on the structural flaws in his work. 'Why are the vampires lesbians?' sales agent Cal Fagan asked. 'Were they lesbians before they became vampires, or did getting bitten have something to do with it? I never understood that. And is it necessary for them to seduce their victims before killing them? Why do they 'writhe sinuously' on every other page? And what did William's secret meeting with the dominatrix have to do with anything? I'm sorry, it just seemed gratuitous.' So far, no one has come forward to claim the screenplay, leading several employees to speculate that it was deliberately left on the printer. 'Please,' Lyon said. 'You don't print a document in which a pack of wolves sensually lick a naked dead body and then just have it slip your mind.' 'I don't know,' Fagan said. 'I can see how someone might have printed it out and then gotten involved in something and forgotten to grab it. On the other hand, if I wrote a whole movie, I'd probably be pretty proud and want to show it off.' Gates agreed. 'I think the writer wanted feedback, but was afraid to ask for it outright,' Gates said. 'Well, my message to him is: Don't quit your day job. Unless you've accidentally let everyone at your day job know that you get off on lesbian vampires.' Contacted for his opinion of the script, Joshua Black, a junior talent agent at Brinkman Carver in San Diego, CA, offered a contrary opinion. 'It's too long, the characters are interchangeable, and there's no third act,' Black said. 'That said, it's hard to turn down a vampire movie, particularly one with so much softcore nudity. If I were a little studio looking for a shot in the arm, there's a chance I'd option it, give it a quick coat of paint, shoot it on the cheap, and dump it straight to DVD. It won't do much domestically, but you could stand to recoup and then some on the international market.' 
1	Detachment and boredom were very nearly concealed Monday when 1.5 ounces of semen were ejaculated into the face of adult-film star Brittany Silk, 20, on the set of Butt-Fuck Sluts Go Nuts Vol. 31, forthcoming from Mustang Entertainment. 'Brittany really did a great job with that scene,' director Rodney Campos said. 'She practically made it look like she loved having [co-star] Rick [Steed] shoot his hot, steaming load all over her face.' 
1	Moments after watching him finish his fifth alcoholic beverage at the Crows Nest Bar and Grill Thursday night, sources reported local man Chris Serna, 32, had completed the task of getting drunk with a high degree of efficiency and skill. Mr. Serna has a clear goal, which is getting drunk, and as of now he is doing an exceptionally good job of achieving that goal, Crows Nest bartender Gavin Morey, 40, said of Sernas focused, driven consumption of draft beers, which he reportedly ordered and dispatched with both alacrity and precision in the space of 90 minutes. He understands the process of becoming inebriated, and he executes that process with a great deal of proficiency. I would rate his getting-drunk capabilities very highly, and in fact among the stronger efforts Ive seen tonight. At press time, Serna was reportedly doing an expert job of programming AC/DCs Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap five times in a row on the bars jukebox. 
2	Liberals Are FURIOUS After Tim Tebow Makes THIS Massive Announcement According to recent reports, Tim Tebow has just agreed to contract terms with the Philadelphia Eagles. Reports indicate that Tebow will sign a one-year deal as a backup quarterback. This marks his return to the NFL after playing in 2012 for the New York Jets. He attempted to make the New England Patriots in 2013, but rumors of cheating kept him off of the roster. He has been working as an analyst with ESPN and the SEC Network ever since. The Eagles seems to be a questionable team for Tebow, especially given the notorious history of the teams players and fans. What do you think should Tebow sign with the Eagles? Are you excited to see him back on the field?

3	Flu Vaccine Reactions From the Same Gelatin in Gummy BearsCatherine J. Frompovich The American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) reported at its Baltimore, Maryland, meeting early in November 2013, a case report notes that individuals with a gelatin allergy can have a mild to severe reaction from the [flu] shot. [1] Severe reactions can include anaphylaxis, which can result in death! Apparently the ACAAI considered the case report supposedly about a four-year-old toddler who received a flu vaccine according to radio news reports this writer heard serious enough that it advised its membership to take some fairly drastic precautionary measures about giving flu vaccines to children with known allergic reactions to marshmallows and gummy bear candies, which contain gelatin made from animal trimmings not used in food processing, or even from discarded animal parts. Gelatin [2] is an animal protein that is used as a gelling agent in pharmaceuticals, candy making, yogurt [3], ice cream [4], and as a clarifying agent in beer [5]. As with any food, especially protein, people may or may not know they are allergic to it or may not have recognized an allergic reaction to a food, since there can be many allergic reactions in addition to hives, itching, rashes, or even asthma. When I studied nutrition, I learned there can be as many as a thousand different types of reactions in the human body, depending upon an individuals immune system, constitution, and the offending allergen. In todays chemical world, more and more individuals are allergic to man-made chemicals, something the medical profession deals with almost exclusively, i.e., pharmaceuticals to which there can be numerous adverse reactions. Vaccines are not exempt! Because it is found in the vaccine, those with a known allergy to gelatin can experience allergic reactions, such as hives, sneezing and difficulty breathing. [1] Furthermore, Dr. Albin elaborates with, Gelatin reactions can cause hives, swelling, itchiness, shortness of breath and a severe life-threatening reaction known as anaphylaxis. Because of this, precautions should be taken, such as having a board-certified allergist administer the vaccine in a person with known gelatin allergy in case a reaction occurs. Thats all well and good advice for those who want to take that chance, but there are numerous other proteins in vaccines, along with neurotoxins and other toxic chemicals that can and apparently do cause allergic reactions and adverse events, as verified by the CDC/FDAs Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System where physicians and parents can and should file reports. Furthermore, While the vaccine is recommended for those six months of age and older [1], can anyone tell what an infant that young is allergic to? Isnt that a reasonable question to ask? Maybe the ACAAI ought to consider recommending testing be done on all infants before any vaccines are administered to determine whether there will be adverse mitochondrial involvement that can precipitate the Autism Spectrum Disorder, the MTHFR mutation [6], or allergic reactions. Right now its a crap shoot and you take your chances of having a damaged child after vaccination. There also is a nasal flu vaccine, i.e., nasal spray, which contains gelatin that the ACAAI is concerned about. However, it contains MSG (monosodium glutamate), an excitotoxin that doesnt seem to arouse their interest. MSG affects the brain to produce whats been called the Chinese Restaurant Syndrome or the MSG Symptom Complex. See this YouTube FluMist Contains MSG that talks about MSG in the nasal flu vaccine. According to Dr. Michael Roussell, PhD, [7] Concerns regarding a link between MSG and obesity have been raised, especially following the publication of a 2011 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Furthermore, in 1978 two possible psychiatric reactions to MSG were reported to The New England Journal of Medicine. [8] According to the CDCs Ingredients of Vaccines Fact Sheet [9] Monosodium glutamate (MSG) and 2-phenoxy-ethanol which are used as stabilizers in a few vaccines to help the vaccine remain unchanged when the vaccine is exposed to heat, light, acidity, or humidity. For children with a prior history of allergic reactions to any of these substances in vaccines, parents should consult their childs healthcare provider before vaccination. That last statement presents a real problem for everyone, as far as this writer is concerned. The reason lies in the fact that no one knows who will have a reaction to a vaccine ingredient. Furthermore, everyone is told by the medical profession, the media, governments, and school systems that vaccines are safe and necessary. No, they are not on both counts! Vaccines contain numerous ingredients [10] that pose hidden adverse reactions or events for numerous children of all ages, including adults. VAERS confirms that! Any previous vaccine reaction should preclude a child or anyone for that matter from receiving other vaccines in the future in order to prevent an anamnestic response [11], which really doesnt seem to be taken very seriously by those promoting vaccines, as is exemplified in the recommendation that a board certified allergist should administer vaccines to children with known allergies to vaccine ingredients. No vaccine warrants the possibility of an anamnestic response, in my opinion. As we have seen with gelatin and MSG, there are real problems that can and do occur from vaccine ingredients from supposedly mundane, edible, or GRAS ingredients. I have not addressed in this article the more serious ingredients in vaccines, e.g., neurotoxins, which I talk about in my recent book, Vaccination Voodoo, What YOU Dont Know About Vaccines. That being said, I would like to congratulate the ACAAI for warning about the possible vaccine gelatin reaction. Please dont stop there! You have an entire roster of ingredients, which can cause adverse reactions, intolerances, or allergies whatever you want to call them that are causing serious health problems for innocent children. Its time to take responsibility; it is time to bell the cat.

1	Saying they did not want her to miss out on the experiences of a sibling relationship, local parents Cathleen and Eric Patterson told reporters Wednesday they are considering having a second child to give their daughter someone to grow apart from over time. Recently, weve been thinking it would be nice for Emily to have a little brother or sister who she can gradually lose contact with over the next few decades and eventually barely speak with at all, said Cathleen Patterson, adding that the couple wanted to make sure their child would have a sibling she could come to depend on for a few minutes of strained small talk at an annual holiday dinner or a halfhearted Facebook message sent several days after her birthday. Well be gone someday, so we want Emily to have another family member who she can count on to reluctantly call her once every few months and suggest that they should get together at some point, but never follow through. I dont want to deny her those kinds of memories. The Pattersons added that if they decided against having another child, their daughter would still have numerous opportunities to become bitterly alienated from both of them. 
2	You Wont Believe How Much Welfare This Muslim Father Of 11 Takes From The Government This Muslim man, Mohammed Salim, has had 11 children over the past 24 years. He says he does not believe in contraception, and wants to have as many children as possible. Of course he doesnt actually pay to raise his children himself. He takes about $40,000 a year from the US government. This is more money than the average US citizen makes from working full time. He says, it is the government who pay for their upkeep, food and clothing. Daily Mail This man has been taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from the government over the past 10 years. This is insane. Should Mohammed Salim be cut off from welfare? 
2	BREAKING: RNC Says They Will Deny Trump Even If He Gets 1237 Delegates According to recent reports from CNBC, a longstanding RNC official has just confirmed that attaining 1,237 during the primaries does not secure a nomination. Curly Haugland is an unbound delegate from North Carolina. He will be serving on the convention rules committee in July. And he is clearly referring to Donald Trump. Even if Trump reaches the magic number of 1,237 the media and RNC are touting, that does not mean Trump is automatically the nominee, Haugland argued. The votes earned during the primary process are only estimates and are not legal convention votes. The only official votes to nominate a candidate are those that are cast from the convention floor. Of course, this is a change of tune for Haugland. Before Trump was predicted to be the clear winner, Haugland told CNBC that the delegates are responsible for choosing the GOP nominee. What do you think? Are you tired of all of this corruption in the system? 
2	Liberals Accuse Melania Of Plagiarizing Speech, They Forgot This One Important Detail Everyone is going crazy of Melania Trumps speech at the Republican National Convention. Many Republicans loved it because it was a great and inspiring speech. Democrats are going crazy for a different reason, because they think that she stole some lines from Michelle Obamas speech in 2008. You can check out the video below. However, this is all pretty misleading. First of all, the lines she stole were all very generic lines that have been used in speech after speech. In fact, Obama was accused of stealing a Clinton speech in 2008. Obama called the attack absurd. Obamas response was, Ive written two books. I wrote most of my speeches. I would add that I noticed Senator Clinton, on occasion, has used words of mine as well. Obama has also been caught stealing words from various candidates including John Edwards in the clip below.

1	Overwhelmed by the frustration of being utterly unable to solve any of the numerous difficult problems it faces, a worn-out nation finally broke down Thursday morning and begged its smart people to please just fix everything now. Admitting they had 'absolutely no idea what the fuck [they were] doing,' millions of Americans immediately ceased trying to manage the country's large-scale, ongoing disasters and pleaded with U.S. scientists, economists, educators, philosophers, and inventors to intervene and make things better again. 'You are good at doing things, and we are bad, okay? We admit it,' said Cincinnati-area executive Robert Everhart, who belongs to the growing consortium of citizens desperately asking America's qualified people to take it from here. 'So we're begging you, please grab hold of the reins. We know we said we didn't need to read any books or have a lot of expertise to do this stuff, but we were wrong. We need your help, and we need it bad.' 'Obviously we've messed things up pretty severely, but we're fairly certain you can fix them back up,' Everhart added. 'You guys are really smart.' Acknowledging they lacked the know-how to put anything together without it all falling apart again in a matter of seconds, millions of ordinary Americans implored the nation's skilled individuals to just use their knowledge to end the financial crisis, manage the health care industry, determine which human beings are actually fit to hold political office, teach the nation's children, and enact overarching policy decisions that serve the greater good. Citizens across the nation also promised to stay completely out of the way while those people who actually have some idea what they're doing roll up their sleeves and get down to the bottom of all this. In addition, the competent have been issued assurances they will not be hindered by irrelevant, totally uninformed opinions while they are getting things done. 'You won't hear a single word out of us, we swear,' said Chicago real-estate broker Paul Linder, mentioning that smart people can have all the time and resources they need to make the necessary repairs to society. 'We're going to keep our attention where it's best suited by watching some T.V., surfing the Internet, or maybe trying to mend that fence of mine that's been falling down for so long. That kind of thing is really more our speed.' 'Although, actually, if you guys could help out with the fence, that would be great,' Linder added. According to Beltway insiders, the phenomenon has spread to the highest levels of the U.S. government, with hundreds of lawmakers crumpling up all bills currently under debate and claiming that pervasive problems related to unemployment, a crumbling infrastructure, and energy crises should probably be left to people who know some things about that stuff. In the hours following the country's desperate pleas, the 2012 Republican presidential candidates issued statements agreeing that the United States was in pretty bad shape right now and that it would indeed be best to start letting people with a track record of accomplishment act on the nation's behalf. 'As anyone who listens to me for even two seconds can tell you, I'm no expert when it comes to pretty much anything,' Gov. Rick Perry of Texas said. 'That's why I promise voters that as president, I will make it my top priority to just hang back and let smart people take care of everything.' 'Come to think of it, though, I'm not really qualified to give an opinion on this or any other issue,' Perry continued. 'I should probably just shut the fuck up now and go away.'

2	Darren Wilson Could Be Found Guilty After THIS New Evidence Surfaced According to recent reports, the NAACP has sent a letter to a Missouri judge asking that a new grand jury be elected to reconsider indicting officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown. At the end of November, the grand jury made the controversial decision not to indict Wilson. Since that time, protests and riots have continued throughout the country. Now, NAACPs Legal Defense and Educational Fund are calling on Missouri Judge Maura McShane to put a jury together with a special prosecutor in place. The organization is also asking that the court investigated Bob McCulloch, the original prosecutor in the case, for bias and misconduct. NAACP claims that a number of legal experts examined the testimony for the grand jury, and were able to uncover three major areas of the concern. The first is that McCulloch supposedly knowingly presented false witness testimony to the grand jury, allowing an eyewitness to testify after it had been determined that she wasnt at the scene of the shooting. McCulloch is also accused of presenting incorrect and misleading statements of law to the grand jury and sanctioned unlawful juror practices. Finally, the letter concludes that the questioning of witnesses often appeared to advocate for defendant Wilsons version of the shooting. Our review of these proceedings has raised grave legal concerns, writes Sherrilyn Ifill, the groups president. What do you think of the letter? Should the case go before another grand jury? 
1	With third-quarter sales sluggish and its share of the domestic market down 11 percent since 1993, General Motors unveiled a new instant-win airbag contest Monday. The new airbags, which award fabulous prizes upon violent, high-speed impact with another car or stationary object, will come standard in all of the company's 1997 cars. 'Auto accidents have never been so exciting,' said GM vice-president of marketing Roger Jenkins, who expects the contest to boost 1997 sales significantly. 'When you play the new GM Instant Win Airbag Game, your next fatal collision could mean a trip for two to Super Bowl XXXI in New Orleans. Or a year's worth of free Mobil gasoline.' Though it does not officially begin until Jan. 1, 1997, the airbag promotion is already being tested in select cities, with feedback overwhelmingly positive. 'As soon as my car started to skid out of control, I thought to myself, 'Oh, boy, this could be itI could be a big winner!'' said Cincinnati's Martin Frelks, who lost his wife but won $50 Sunday when the Buick LeSabre they were driving hit an oil slick at 60 mph and slammed into an oncoming truck. 'When the car stopped rolling down the embankment, I knew Ellen was dead, but all I could think about was getting the blood and glass out of my eyes so I could read that airbag!' 'It's really addictive,' said Sacramento, CA, resident Marjorie Kamp, speaking from her hospital bed, where she is listed in critical condition with severe brain hemorrhaging and a punctured right lung. 'I've already crashed four cars trying to win those Super Bowl tickets, but I still haven't won. I swear, I'm going to win those ticketseven if it kills me!' Hartford, CT, resident Jonathan Ryerson was killed Sunday when his 1997 Pontiac LeMans hit a freight train. Ryerson won $50 in the accident. Kamp said that as soon as she is well enough, she plans to buy a new Pontiac Bonneville and drive it into a tree. GM officials are not surprised the airbag contest has been so well received. 'In the past, nobody really liked car wrecks, and that's understandable. After all, they're scary and dangerous and, sometimes, even fatal,' GM CEO Paul Offerman said. 'But now, when you drive a new GM car or truck, your next serious crash could mean serious cash. Who wouldn't like that?' Offerman added that in the event a motorist wins a prize but is killed, that prize will be awarded to the next of kin. According to GM's official contest rules, odds of winning the grand prize, a brand-new 1997 Cutlass Supreme, are 1 in 43,000,000. Statistical experts, however, say the real chances of winning are significantly worse. 'If you factor in the odds of getting in a serious car accident in the first placeapproximately 1 in 720,000the actual odds of winning a prize each time you step in your car are more like 1 in 31 trillion.' Further, even if one is in an accident, there is no guarantee the airbag will inflate. 'I was recently broadsided by a drunk driver in my new Chevy Cavalier,' said Erie, PA, resident Jerry Polaner. 'My car was totaled, and because it was the side of my car that got hit, my airbag didn't even inflate. But what really gets me is the fact that the drunk driver, who rammed my side with the front of his 1997 Buick Regal, won a $100 Office Depot gift certificate. That's just wrong.' 
1	Amid growing personal concern that the subjects are not receiving enough national attention, singeractress Jessica Simpson announced the launch Monday of an ambitious, multimillion-dollar campaign promoting awareness of her breasts. Simpson draws attention to her cause at a recent gala event in Washington, D.C. 'Each year, millions of lives could be affected by my breasts,' said Simpson at a press conference in Los Angeles. 'People of all ages, colors, and creeds are susceptible to them. Now it's just a matter of getting them out there for everyone to see. It's time Americans truly recognized the full size and scope of this devastating rack.' According to Simpson, breasts are the leading cause of film careers among women ages 18 to 35. However, if agents and producers fail to screen them early and often, the resulting lack of public awareness could lead to a rapid deterioration of sexy roles and, eventually, a premature end to one's career. Simpson noted the examples of Rachael Leigh Cook, Tiffani Thiessen, and Jennifer Love Hewitt, whose careers were tragically cut short due to this same problem. 'I just want to do my part to ensure that my breasts aren't ignored,' said Simpson, wearing a hot-pink own-breasts-awareness ribbon directly below her cleavage. 'I cannot underestimate the terrible impact my breasts could have on my career if they are not visible at all times, whether appearing in a provocatively low-cut gown or string bikini in my next video, or even bare in an indie movie, which would be a particularly daring career move.' In addition to urging Americans to schedule regular examinations of her breasts, Simpson is also promoting the month of October as 'Jessica Simpson's Breasts Awareness Month.' During October, Simpson will sponsor the Breasts Awareness 5K Run, a braless fundraising event of which she will be the sole participant. Proceeds will go directly toward the upkeep and maintenance of Simpson's breasts, as well as toward research on how to treat and support them in the future. In addition, Simpson will unveil an in-depth, educational website that provides visitors with a detailed, 'virtual journey' in, through, and around her breasts. The site, Simpson said, will feature thousands of images highlighting the breasts' most important aspects, and will 'hopefully dispel any myths that average American viewers might have believed about them.' Although Simpson's career is currently healthy, the singer said that it is crucial that her breasts reach as many people as possible now, so they will not be forgotten should other, larger breasts start developing on younger starlets and pop sensations. 'Already, major periodicals that were once dedicated to raising national awareness of my breasts are shifting their focus to less-important ones, such as those belonging to Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba, and even Kristin Cavallari,' Simpson said. Drivers on I-405 in Los Angeles receive a public self-service message from Jessica Simpson. At the end of her press conference, a solemn, pasties-clad Simpson admitted that, because of her family history, she knew that breasts would end up playing a large role in her life. 'My mom had breasts, and so did her mom, and her mother before her,' Simpson said. 'But the real tragedy is that they didn't realize that there was something you could do about it to bring them to the nation's attention. It may be too late for my mother and grandmother, but, with the right amount of support, lift, and separation, my breasts can become a national symbol for everything I represent.' 'Luckily, my younger sister Ashlee had hers detected in the early stages of their development,' Simpson added. A free screening of Jessica Simpson's breasts will be held at the Warner Bros. Theater on Wilshire Boulevard this Friday at 11 p.m. Men and women ages 18 and over are encouraged to attend. 
1	According to the nations tastemakers and trendsetters, the city of Chicago is currently wrapped up in a hot new murder craze, with murders occurring almost every day of the week, and sometimes happening well into the night. Englewood, Roseland, and Lawndale are some of the trendiest murder spots in the Windy City, with double or even triple homicides taking place on some of the hippest street corners and housing projects, said trend expert Alyssa Mayrose, adding that while urban youths are at the cutting edge of the citywide craze, everyone, including middle-aged men and women, are getting caught up in Chicagos murder mania. Some of the ber-hip, very exclusive murders are happening in little tucked away places, like in the back alley of Lloyds Lounge in Riverdale. But if you are out on the town and want to find a murder, believe me, you dont have to look that hard. Bottom line: If youve got a gun or a knife and you want to kill someone, Chicago is the place to be right now. Mayrose added that with the Chicago Police Department in complete and utter disarray, there is no indication that the cool, happening new trend of murdering people will end anytime soon.

1	Though she considers herself a close and loyal confidante, 28-year-old Amanda Willets admitted Tuesday that unless her longtime friend Courtney Saunders, 29, is in the throes of panic, heartbreak, or a physical illness, the two have very little to discuss. We can easily talk for hours about a disagreement between her and her mother, or the veiled insults she thinks are directed at her by a colleague, but as soon as things start looking up in her life we kind of hit a wall, Willets said, referring to the halting and uninteresting conversations the two engage in once Saunders various health scares, family dramas, financial emergencies, and existential crises have been exhausted. Yesterday, for instance, things seemed to be going pretty well for her, so we awkwardly chatted about Orange Is The New Black for a few minutes and then just found an excuse to get off the phone. Its uncomfortable right now, but knowing Courtney, it wont be long before she completely freaks out about how her landlord is raising her rent or how another one of her high school friends got engaged while shes still alone, and our talks will pick up again. At press time, Willets breathed a sigh of relief and cleared her afternoon schedule after receiving a text from Saunders saying sooo annoyed, please call. 
1	President Clinton announced Monday that he has invited his tow-headed 8-year-old cousin Oliver to live with him at the White House during the final year of his presidency. President Clinton welcomes adorable Cousin Oliver to the White House family. 'Welcome aboard, Cousin Oliver,' Clinton said at a press conference. 'As the Clinton presidency nears the end of a successful eight-year run, I'm confident that your sunny smile and spunky demeanor will warm the hearts of the American people, as well as renew interest in my administration.' At the president's side was the diminutive, bespectacled Oliver, whose short stature, bowl haircut and 1970s-style clothes were already winning the hearts of the White House press corps. It remains unclear how Oliver came to live with the Clintons. It is believed that his parents are on some kind of expedition in another country. 'This is not something we expected at all,' Clinton said. 'Last week, when Hillary told me there would be an addition to the family, everyone assumed she was pregnant. I never imagined she meant Cousin Oliver.' Clinton said he would make every effort to help the nerdy, glasses-wearing Oliver fit in. 'I pledge to Oliver that we will do everything we can to make him feel welcome,' Clinton said. 'He is as much a part of the family as anyone who has been here since the beginning.' The president then turned to the boy and asked, 'How do you like them apples, Cousin Oliver?' 'They're okay, I guess,' Oliver replied, 'but I like Sloppy Joes a lot more. Can we have them for dinner tonight?' Oliver's literal interpretation of Clinton's query prompted a good deal of good-natured chuckling from the assemblage of reporters. Responding to a reporter's question, Clinton said Oliver would be staying in '[daughter] Chelsea's old room, from before she moved away for college.' 'Chelsea's room?' Cousin Oliver added. 'Girl stuff... Yuck!' The remark prompted more laughter. Though Oliver will not serve in any official capacity, he is expected to fulfill several White House duties, including looking over Clinton's shoulder as he works in the Oval Office and asking him endless questions until the president, feigning exasperation, asks him to go outside and play in the Rose Garden. Oliver is also expected to have numerous amusing interactions with the White House's zany, eager-to-marry housekeeper. Oliver is already proving to have a nose for adventure. Shortly after arriving Sunday, Oliver convinced CIA director George Tenet to investigate whether the Clintons' longtime butcher is actually a spy. 'George and me are a couple of regular super-snoopers,' Oliver, sporting a Sherlock Holmes-style deerstalker cap and magnifying glass, told reporters. 'We got that sneaky butcher trapped in his own meat locker right now!' Oliver's arrival has been praised by many Beltway insiders, who view it as a shrewd way to reinject some youthful energy to the Clinton White House before it passes into history. 'In January 1993, when the Clinton Administration made its debut, many of the Cabinet members were young and cute,' said Washington Post columnist David Broder. 'But now they are older, and even Clinton's daughter Chelsea is all grown up. The introduction of Cousin Oliver will reverse that trend, not to mention provide Clinton speechwriters with plenty of opportunities to come up with adorable one-liners to delight the American people.' Not everyone is thrilled with the addition, however. 'Adding an adorable moppet to the White House cast at this late stage in the Clinton presidency is nothing more than a cheap gimmick,' conservative commentator Laura Ingraham said. 'This boy, although undeniably cute, is neither a seasoned professional politician nor an expert in economic and international policy.' Others go so far as to suggest that Oliver could pose a threat to presidential and national security, branding him a 'jinx.' 'Oliver's only been here two days, and already odd things have been happening,' said an unnamed Secret Service agent, speaking on condition of anonymity. 'First, he spilled ketchup all over Mrs. Clinton. Then, while playing basketball with Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, he tossed the basketball into a bunch of flower pots, causing them to shatter. And his snoring at night has kept everyone awake.' But Suzanne Horlick, Clinton's assistant press secretary, denied the jinx allegations, citing a trip to Los Angeles taken by Oliver and several members of the Clinton Administration last July. 'We were entering the Paramount Pictures lot for their studio tour, with Cousin Oliver bringing up the rear,' Horlick said. 'As we all passed through the turnstile, we were stopped by a studio guard. At first, we all groaned, because we were afraid we were in trouble, and that Oliver had jinxed us. But were we wrong! The guard had stopped us to say that Oliver was the one millionth person to go on the studio tour, and his prize was a chance to be in a movie with his friends! So they dressed us up in old-fashioned clothes, and we threw pies at each other, just like in an old silent movie! It was the most fun we ever had, and it was all thanks to Oliver.' If the addition of Oliver is successful, Horlick said more surprises could be in store for the final year of the Clinton Administration, including the Clintons winning the lottery and a Hillary-Chelsea double wedding. She would not comment on rumors of a twist ending to the Clinton era, in which it is revealed that the last eight years were a dream.

'I'm certain the front offices have begun to make moves to build the team around me. I just hope Vince Carter knows to step down.' As of tip-off, Simmons has yet to be assigned a permanent locker.

Any parent can only imagine how that loss might feel. Still, tragedy is not an excuse for careless violence, which is exactly what Browns parents are calling for. The Browns feel that a murder conviction for Officer Darren Wilson of the Ferguson Police Department is the only solution to their grief. This determination has called for the community to decide on facts that have no merit. In the mind of Browns supports, the case was without question racial profiling, police brutality, and excessive force. Protesters have completely ignored that there are facts supporting Wilsons testimony regarding a struggle that took place inside of his vehicle. Still, the Browns are going to extremes, and have even reached out to Geneva to attempt to plead their case in from of the United Nations Human Rights Panel. What do you think of the new action? Will the UN be able to do anything in the Brown case? 
2	Race Baiters Threaten To Kill Donald So Heres How They Responded Donald Trump has been by the far the most controversial potential candidate for president in 2016. The GOP establishment is on a serious mission to take him down and has been since he was announced to be the leader for the GOP nomination. Race baiters have also been adamantly against Trump for the comments that he made about Mexico during his campaign announcement. Despite pressure from the liberal media, Trump has refused to retract his statements. Why hasnt anyone killed Donald Trump yet? one Black Lives Matter activist tweeted this week. Despite the violent nature of the statement, she received mostly positive support from other Twitter users. One user replied that Mexican drug lord El Chapo was doing just that. Another replied, hurry up with it. What do you think? Are these social media users taking things way too far? 
3	US Complains As Russia Bombs its TerroristsBy Tony Cartalucci Russian aircraft carried out a bombing attack against Syrian opposition fighters on Wednesday, including at least one group trained by the C.I.A., eliciting angry protests from American officials and plunging the complex sectarian war there into dangerous new territory. This of course would only make Russias actions dishonest or dangerous if groups trained by the US CIA were in fact the moderates the US claims they are. However, they are not, and thus Russias actions are duly justified as is the expansion of their current policy. For months now, after years of headlines confirming the US has been covertly arming militants in Syria for the purpose of overthrowing the government in Damascus, a narrative revolving around tens of thousands of these militants defecting to Al Nusra and the so-called Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) has been peddled to the public by the Western media and US politicians to account for the apparent failure of Americas alleged policy of creating an army of moderates to both fight ISIS/Al Qaeda and the Syrian government. In reality, from the beginning, there were never any moderates. Starting as early as 2007, years before the war in Syria began, the US as a matter of policy had long since decided to intentionally fund and support the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood for all intents and purposes the political wing of Al Qaeda and begin arming militants affiliated with Al Qaeda itself. This was revealed in Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hershs 2007 New Yorker article titled, The Redirection Is the Administrations new policy benefitting our enemies in the war on terrorism?, which stated explicitly (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. Hershs prophetic 9-page report would also reveal that even then, the extremist Syrian Muslim Brotherhood was already receiving funding and support from the United States via Saudi Arabia. His report revealed (emphasis added): There is evidence that the Administrations redirection strategy has already benefitted the Brotherhood. The Syrian National Salvation Front is a coalition of opposition groups whose principal members are a faction led by Abdul Halim Khaddam, a former Syrian Vice-President who defected in 2005, and the Brotherhood. A former high-ranking C.I.A. officer told me,The Americans have provided both political and financial support. The Saudis are taking the lead with financial support, but there is American involvement. He said that Khaddam, who now lives in Paris, was getting money from Saudi Arabia, with the knowledge of the White House.(In 2005, a delegation of the Fronts members met with officials from the National Security Council, according to press reports.) A former White House official told me that the Saudis had provided members of the Front with travel documents. By 2011, Al Qaedas affiliates in Syria, most notably the Al Nusra Front, began operating nation-wide, taking the lead in the US-backed fight against Damascus. By 2012, when the US State Department listed Al Nusra as a foreign terrorist organization, it was clear even then, that the largest contingent of anti-government forces on the battlefield was Al Qaeda. The US State Departments official statementregarding Al Nusra reported that: 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. It is clear that Al Qaeda was not only involved in the conflict since its beginning, but also led it. This betrays current US rhetoric that Al Qaeda had only entered the fight later on, seizing on the chaos created by moderates and their fight with Damascus. It is clear that it was Al Qaeda itself that drove that chaos from the beginning, and is still driving this chaos to this day. To explain how Americas fictional moderate army has been displaced on the battlefield in Syria by Al Qaeda and ISIS, the US claims that its multi-billion dollar nearly 5-year operation has suffered from massive defections. The Guardian would report in its article, Free Syrian Army rebels defect to Islamist group Jabhat al-Nusra, that: Syrias main armed opposition group, the Free Syrian Army (FSA), is losing fighters and capabilities to Jabhat al-Nusra, an Islamist organisation with links to al-Qaida that is emerging as the best-equipped, financed and motivated force fighting Bashar al-Assads regime. The International Business Times would report in its article, Four Years Later, The Free Syrian Army Has Collapsed, that: The Nusra Front, aka Jabhat al-Nusra, has picked up thousands of men who once fought under the umbrella of the FSA during the past three years. It offers its soldiers hundreds of dollars a month in salary and food installments. The soldiers in the FSA did not receive any monthly stipend. When extremist groups such as the Nusra Front gained ground in Syria and received millions of dollars in cash and weapons from wealthy businessmen in the Gulf states and Libya, the moderate rebels had no other choice, Jarrah said. They feel like they are cheated, so they join ISIS. The Daily Beast would report in its article, Main U.S.-Backed Syrian Rebel Group Disbanding, Joining Islamists, that: The Syrian rebel group Harakat al-Hazm, one of the White Houses most trusted militias fighting President Bashar al-Assad, collapsed Sunday, with activists posting a statement online from frontline commanders saying they are disbanding their units and folding them into brigades aligned with a larger Islamist insurgent alliance distrusted by Washington. Harakat al-Hazm would take with them to Al Qaeda and ISIS, millions of dollars worth of sophisticated US weapons, including US-made anti-tank TOW missiles. The most recent US supported group, the fabled Division 30, has also allegedly defected to Al Qaeda assuming they werent Al Qaeda militants from the beginning. The Telegraph in its article, US-trained Division 30 rebels betray US and hand weapons over to al-Qaedas affiliate in Syria, reported that: Pentagon-trained rebels in Syria are reported to have betrayed their American backers and handed their weapons over to al-Qaeda in Syria immediately after re-entering the country. Fighters with Division 30, the moderate rebel division favoured by the United States, surrendered to the al-Qaeda-affiliated Jabhat al-Nusra, a raft of sources claimed on Monday night. What this news, admitted to by the West itself, of these US-backed moderates joining Al Qaedas ranks by the thousands proves is that at the very least Americas policy of building up a moderate opposition has failed entirely. What documented evidence stretching back as far as 2007 proves is that the US had no intention of building up a moderate opposition in the first place, and news of defections are simply cover for the direct funding and arming of Al Qaeda and ISIS in Syria. At the very least, Russia bombing these groups either having already defected to Al Qaeda, or inevitably going to defect to Al Qaeda, is doing the Pentagon a favor. This leads back to the most recent New York Times article. Russia is not arbitrarily bombing moderates backed by the US in Syria to stave off allegedly legitimate opposition to the government in Damascus Russia is bombing terrorists who are either operating under the banner of Al Qaeda but are portrayed as otherwise by the US, or will inevitably end up turning their fighters and weapons over to Al Qaeda. Russia is bombing Al Qaeda. The New York Times articlewould also claim: By supporting Assad and seemingly taking on everybody fighting Assad, Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter said Wednesday, Russia is taking on the whole rest of the country thats fighting Assad. Some of those groups, he added, are supported by the United States and need to be part of a political resolution in Syria. Indeed, Russia is undoubtedly bombing militants supported by the United States, but that is only because the United States has intentionally supported Al Qaeda and ISIS in Syria. At any time if the United States truly wanted to strike an irreparable blow at ISIS forces, it could simply seal off the Turkish border across which the summation of ISIS supplies, fighters, weapons, and vehicles flow. By securing the Turkish-Syrian border to the north, and the Jordanian-Syrian border in the south, the United States could strangle ISIS out of existence in a month, if not sooner. That it has intentionally allowed ISIS supplies to flow out from under the nose of its allies and its own military forces stationed both in Jordan and in Turkey, indicates the the US at the very least is tacitly perpetuating the existence of ISIS but most likely is actively involved in filling the trucks bound for ISIS in Syria as well. US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter claims that the Russian position is doomed, in what appears to be a pledge by the United States to resist Moscows attempts to stamp out Al Qaeda groups in addition to taking on and eliminating ISIS. Some might consider doubling down on a policy of backing terrorists that will inevitably be revealed to the world, and a policy that has thus far failed to topple the Syrian government which is now being bolstered by Russian, Iranian, and possibly Chinese forces, is a policy that is ultimately doomed. And finally, it must be noted, for those still doubting ISIS is in fact an intentional creation of US foreign policy, that ISIS is now fighting the combined military forces of Syria, Hezbollah, Iran, Iraq, and now Russia. One must ask themselves who has the material resources, finances, and operational capacity to support a single army capable of taking on a multinational coalition of this size. Where, if not from the US and its regional allies, is ISIS deriving the source of its fighting capacity? Claiming to fight ISIS, while so transparently supporting them, is indeed a doomed position, one doomed to fail today, and one doomed to eternal condemnation in the future. Tony Cartalucci, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazineNew Eastern Outlook. Its the NYT trash paper of the Corporate States of Chaos.you expect them to write something honest when they do not even have a reporter in the area of the Syrian Army. The biggest cop-out of the western press unconfirmed source equals told to write by the Chaos Department Sure thing, the MSMs job is to keep the TPTBs story line on track. Operation Mockingbird took over the media lapdogs a long time ago. Theres no point in deconstructing these stories except to look for budding psy ops. Dont know who the Chaos Department is but if its a wing of The Defense Department/CIA than you may be on to something. The only real change that will ever take place in this country will start with the dismantlement of The Federal Reserve andcomplete destruction of the CIA and much of the foreign bribery money. The social welfare net in this country is not the main issue its the foreign country welfare bribery state and the military industrial complex. What if the Syria dust up wasnt ever really about taking down Assad and instead was a massive smoke blowing operation to create cover for the creation of ISIS, Operation Cyclone 2.0? Not being open to all the layers of deception constantly being shoved our way creates blind spots. We need to be mindful of all possible scenarios being engineered by the men behind the curtain. ISIS was created over 30 years ago. Al-Qaeda, Free Syrian Army, ISIS/ISIL, Al Nusra etc Are all the same terrorist network funded by the west to further there agenda. There is no new creation of terrorist, just rebranding and continued covert funding of these insane criminals. You are absolutely correct! Its the same operations repeated over and over again to include the long running Operation Gladio. Engineering conflict and terror is the Strategy of Tension, a global elite tactic used widely since at least WWI. The point I keep trying to make is there is ample evidence the global elite have now fully captured control over every nation, including Russia, and they are using grand geopolitical theater (Strategy of Tension) to move us closer towards their world government prison planet paradigm The leaders of nation states resisting the NWO (Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya) were taken out, with the exception of N. Korea and oddly MSM news on N.Korea has been very quiet. What we have to remember is its the ties that bind us and we have been directly linked to Saudia Arabia, Turkey, Qatar and Israel for decades and they are direct players and always have been so there shoukd be little confusion on our stance. The shame stream media does its job still i guess. Take a look at the interview of Professor Antony Sutton on youtube The Best Enemies Money Can Buy. Its important to understand how conflicts are engineered, including WWI and WWII. Sutton proved this beyond any doubt with extensive research and documentation. Its POWERFUL information and a lot to wrap your head around truly just the tip of the iceberg. Russia can kill every terrorist in Syria.the sooner the better the only thing that is doomed is The world is doomed if and when Global Technocracy completes its 24/7 surveillance and monitoring prison planet. Just as G. Edward Griffin and other great minds have proposed, the people of the world must unite against this unholy nemesis and parasite called the global elite. Know your enemy, understand the problem, and never underestimate your adversary. If not, then we are all toast. This is just another propaganda rag like FOX or CNN. Mention the real perpetrators here? And your post disappears! Russia is bombing the CIA/USA/NATO supported islamists! That is the problem! Its apex globalist (international bankster, Zionist ideologues) N-dimensional chess in the form of geopolitical theater. Russia has been in a state of Deep Capture by the global mafia a very long time. TPTBs engineered the rise of the Bolsheviks and Russias economic implosion in the mid-90s forcing the Russian ruling class to reconfigure the economy into the globalist IMF/BIS neoliberal paradigm. The apex globalists are megalomaniac psychopaths who work on levels of manipulation and time scales few can comprehend. The Veteran Today Daily Report gives a more accurate version on what is going on in Syria than the New York Times, which just prints reports handed it by the CIA. Since the CIA is backing ISIS what did you expect? Mr. Putin must have studied chess under a master. The only ones who have no idea the U.S./Israel manufacture these terrorist groups are the mutt culture here. Once Putin allowed both to rant on about (shiver), the evil Muslim radicals until their lips became tangled, Russia steps up and states that since the U.S. cant stop them, theyll help. It makes one wonder if idiocy walks hand in hand with evil/treachery. Sadly, it would appear so in this case and. the idiocy has proven to be of plague proportion for it has infected nearly all citizens in this brand-new oligarchy. If treachery and corruption were dynamite, the West couldnt blow their noses How many tens of millions were murdered by the Soviets? The gulags described by Solzhenitsyn were the product of the same human frailties that plague the United States. The psy op of US exceptionalism was always ridiculous BS. The US become the economic and military hegemon only because the most rapacious group of elites to walk the planet captured America and molded it into a tool and weapon for control. Our guilt is not escaping the dumbing down and mind control fast enough to kick out the elite parasites. This process has repeated itself for thousands of years Your comment gives me hope. Thank you. Follow the money. Henry Kissinger said some time ago that he did not think Israel would be around in 10 years. Now, its also clear that Progressives agree that backing Israel was not going to bring Soros and his ilk of international bankers the peace they want for a Middle-East economic community. So its time for Russia to clean up Syria and align financial interests as needed for Iran to be the big dog hegemonist. Then bankers can start making trillions through trade and of course the resulting massive debt. Like it or not, they think its time for Israel to go. And like it or not most of our politicians agree because (surprise) it makes their job easier if they dont have to make special considerations for Israel when wheeling and dealing with the Middle-East. It also makes it easier for bankers, lobbyists and global corporations to fatten our politicians campaign coffers from crony capitalist kickbacks. Motto of the Slimy Serpent occupying the Pentagon: By deception, lying and false flag terrorism I will instigate and foment chaos and carnage. May the entire global population assist Russia to stamp this fkkn things head right into the ground! Shortly after the Soviet Union fell apart, Operation Gladio part B (FBIs classification after Gladio Europe operations) was dismantled and several Turkish Generals fled to Russia for asylum because they knew too much about Gladio B having been largely based out of Turkey. Russia had the goods on the US then and could have revealed this to the world thus shaking the political foundations of Europe and the US their cores given Gladio B was a long running NATO directed operation for false flag attacks blamed on communists and subversives. The Russian know well 9/11 was a false flag attack and have officially said nothing. Unofficially, they could have educated their entire population on this but then there are parallels to this in Russia with a murdered intelligence whistleblower Alexander Litvinenko providing information that the Russian government committed false flag attacks and blamed them on Chechens. I have absolutely no ill will against the Russian people, but we should not be naive and fail to understand their political and economic power structures have been corrupted too. 
2	Illegal Alien On Welfare Arrested What if we told you your tax dollars were being used to support a drug trafficking kingpin? If youre like us, youd be angry. Furious even. But you probably wouldnt be surprised. This is what has happened to our welfare system at the hands of President Barack Obama. According to reports, a recent drug bust just busted a top leader of a heroin drug trafficking group in Polk County, Florida. The ringleader who was arrested is an illegal immigrant, who had been receiving almost $900 a month in government-issued food stamps. It gets better, Florida Sheriff Grady Judd told reporters. Hes from the Dominican Republic. Hes not a citizen of the United States. Judd claims that he intends to put the immigrant in prison for a very long time, and then to deport him. As if that werent outrageous enough, several of the mans partners and four of the women involved in the heroin group were collecting WIC payments as well. These are your tax dollars, going to fund and illegal and dangerous drug trafficking group. What do you think? Is it time for serious welfare reform in this country? 
1	Nearly two years after the HBO dramas early cancellation due to animal rights concerns, the producers of Luck confirmed yesterday that they continue to cripple and euthanize horses on a regular basis. After production on the series shut down, we pretty much just switched to killing horses full-time; we probably finished off the original herd in about a week, said producer and show creator David Milch, who explained that he, producers Michael Mann and Carolyn Strauss, and the rest of the crew now receive a fresh shipment of purebreds each week, running the horses until they collapse in painful throes of agony and a veterinarian must be sent onto the track to put them down. Sometimes Dustin Hoffman still stops by to help out with the killings. We all miss the show, but its great that weve been able to continue our work on this level, at least. Sources at HBO reported that the producers plan to explore the world of dog racing next. 
2	BREAKING: Obamas New Executive Order Could Single Handedly Start A New Recession According to recent reports, Obama has just issued yet another destructive executive order. This time, hes called for millions of Americans to be eligible for overtime pay. The order will be beneficial to a select few, but it has a heavy cost for the rest of the population. In the past, workers in management positions were exempt from overtime pay rules as long as they made about $11.38 an hour, one report read, according to Conservative Tribune. New rules will require anyone making less than $24.25 (be) eligible for overtime. This is bad news for any business that is currently operating on a tight budget. Americans throughout the country will now be stuck with strict hourly schedules. Others will be fired. Of course, to escape any backlash, Obama has made it so the order takes effect after his term expires in 2016. Liberals are supporting the bill, saying that it encourages equality, but conservatives know better. What do you think? Does Obama need to be out of the White House immediately? 
2	Obamas Impeachment Process Makes THIS Major Step Forward Impeachment is more of a reality now than ever for President Barack Obama, after constitutional lawyer Michael Connelly just drafted and released articles of impeachment. The articles focus on Obamas abuse of authority, and his failure to protect the constitution, which is his primary duty as President. Connelly also argues that if any other President had committed the offenses that Obama has, they would have been impeached many years ago. According to Connelly, Obama has undoubtedly violated his 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 Untied States. Instead, Connelly claims that Obama has willfully with[held] information on important issues or actively taken part in misleading Congress and the American people. In fact, Connelly has claims that Obama has actually endangered the lives of members of the American military and American civilians with his release of prisoners and has deliberately destroyed the effectiveness of Border Patrol to execute and enforce laws legally passed by Congress. Together, we think these crimes make a pretty good argument for impeachment. What do you think? 
3	Facebook Plans To Bury Alternative NewsBy Kurt Nimmo What this means is alternative news stories the establishment decides are fake will be pushed down in the Facebook newsfeed. Facebook is giving fact-checking organizations a kind of power theyve never had before: the power to publicly brand other websites stories as disputed and push them down in Facebook users newsfeeds, reports Vox. PolitiFact has been accused of bias and serious errors in judgment by critics on the right and left. The Knight Foundation, one of PolitiFacts largest donors, gave $200,000 to the Clinton Foundation. Knight also funds the Poynter Institute for Media Studies, a journalism school owned by The Tampa Bay Times newspaper. It was also reported the International Fact-Checking Network financed by George Soros will be involved with the Facebook effort. It is hosted by the Poynter Institute and also funded by the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation, Google, and the National Endowment for Democracy. NEDs founder said the organization does what the CIA did in the old days, namely take down disfavored governments and produce propaganda. Poynter also gets money from the Omidyar Network run by the billionaire eBay founder Pierre Omidyar. The Omidyar Network has teamed up with Soros Open Society on projects and given grants to third parties using the Soros-funded Tides Foundation. Tides underwrites numerous progressive causes. Facebook will soon begin relegating alternative news stories to the bottom of the newsfeed where they are less likely to be viewed on the recommendations of these biased and establishment-linked organizations. This will be a significant development for many alternative media websites. For instance, my website receives a large share of referred traffic from Facebook. If Facebook users do not see my stories in their newsfeed, a lot less traffic will be driven to my website and this is exactly what Soros and the establishment want.

3	The U.S. Is Now Putting Bounties On The Heads of HackersSM Gibson Since then, the DOJ has employed an age-old technique that they are hoping will entice someone to turn in the 31-year-old to US authorities. They have placed a hefty bounty on his head. The U.S. government is offering $3 million to anyone with information that leads to the apprehension of the Russian. Bogachevspicture has since been plastered on FBI Wanted posters all over the world. Weve really not done something like this in cyber cases, said Robert Anderson, an FBI executive assistant director. All of a sudden, somebodys putting an X on somebody, saying, Bring him to justice, you get $3 million. The reward is being offered under a two-year-old State Department program that has so far paid out over $20 million for the whereabouts of fugitives. Although this is the first case where a bounty has been offered on a cyber criminal, the program has led to the arrest ofinternational smugglers and wildlife traffickers, among others. Time will tell whether this is a successful tactic or not, according to Shawn Henry,a retired executive assistant director of the FBI and president of CrowdStrike Services, a security technology company.Its a strategy, and its certainly not the sole strategy.

3	Greenwalds Courage Can Be Contagious. So Can Fear. Choose.Wendy McElroy Greenwald is the journalist who broke the story of the century-to-date. National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden handed him files that proved the NSA was gathering massive and illegal data on almost everyone, almost everywhere. In response to this leak (and others in the last three years), Obama is attempting to criminalize the act of investigative reporting. He prefers the alternative of a press that reports only what the state permits and never asks independent questions. Obama confronts problems in his quest to convert a quasi-free press into one that is a lapdog. Yet, only by doing so, can he be sure of plugging the leaks about his administrations corruption and lies. Obama will spare nothing and no one to do so because the leaks are bankrupting his political credit at home and abroad. DEALING WITH WHISTLEBLOWERS The whistleblowers themselves present no legal problem. America has long criminalized the flow of information from classified documents to the public on the basis of the Espionage Act of 1917. After all, theft of documents is not covered by the First Amendment. But Obama has made such prosecutions into an art form. He has prosecuted more than twice the number of whistleblowers under the World War I act than all previous presidents combined eight as opposed to three. One reason for this increase is that Obama has classified an amazing amount of material; it is not illegal to disclose information that used to be readily available. The Greek tragedy is the persecution of Bradley Manning whose whistleblowing laid bare the savagery and lies of Americas conduct in the Iraq and Afghan wars. For pulling back the veil, he was imprisoned for over three years without trial and held in conditions that human rights organizations called torture. He has pleaded guilty to charges that will imprison him for 20 years, and a death sentence is still possible. The comedy act is the persecution of Snowden. From the relative safety of Hong Kong, Snowden released files that showed the incredible extent of NSAs covert surveillance of peaceful Americans and foreign governments. The heavy-handed response of the U.S. was to demand Snowdens extradition. But they put the wrong middle name on Snowdens extradition papers, and he used the time to flee to a Moscow airport for sanctuary; he has been trapped there ever since. When a diplomatic plane carrying the President of Bolivia left Moscow recently, the U.S. strong-armed several European nations to take an almost unprecedented step; they denied the Presidents plane permission to cross through their air space. The reason? A still unidentified source had informed them Snowden was on board. He wasnt. The international repercussions will spin out for months or years, and needlessly so. Apparently no one in the White House realized there were two airports in Moscow and the plane had departed from the other one. The most powerful central intelligence agency in the world does not know how to fill in a blank or how to consult a map. DEALING WITH INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISTS Investigative journalists are more problematic than leakers. To criminalize journalism, Obama needs to bypass First Amendment protections and ignore the fact that it is now illegal to publish classified documents in America. (There are narrow exceptions such as nuclear secrets.) To accomplish this end run, Obama is employing a legal sleight of hand. A new crime is being proposed: soliciting the disclosure of classified information. Arranging meetings with a source could be punishable under the Espionage Act as aiding, abetting or co-conspiring, and the investigative reporter could be charged as a co-leaker. Pursuing a story from a government whistleblower would become a criminal act. Of course, pursuing such information is almost the definition of an investigative reporters job. He is the antithesis of a reporter who writes up only the talking points that the White House press secretary has approved. It would be difficult, but criminalizing journalists under the Espionage Act is Obamas best chance at killing a free press that publishes leaks. Certainly it is far easier than criminalizing the publishers themselves. As Columbia law professor Daniel C. Richman observed, I suspect there is a real desire on the part of the government to avoid pursuing the publication aspect if it can pursue the leak aspect. It would be so much neater and raise fewer constitutional issues. THE MEDIA BARKS Obamas greatest allies in criminalizing journalism are the brave media people whose reporting on Greenwald essentially consists of going arf, arf! In his Skyped speech, Greenwald praised them as actors who played journalists on TV. The anti-journalist media trend seems to have been launched by David Gregory of MSNBCs Meet the Press. During an interview with Greenwald, Gregory asked, To the extent that you have aided and abetted Snowden, even in his current movement, why shouldnt you, Mr. Greenwald be charged with a crime?.The question of whos a journalist may be up to a debate with regard to what youre doing. (Greenwald also conducted this exchange from England.) Then Andrew Ross Sorkin of the New York Times stated I would arrest [Snowden] and now Id almost arrest Glenn Greenwald He later retracted the statement in the face of bitter criticism but other media people, like Piers Morgan of CNN, stand by their calls to criminally investigate Greenwald. Ironically, the last cry for blood came from the Washington Post. This is ironic because the Post also leaked Snowdens documents in June. The question asked by Gregory is being repeated in the mass of commentary I scan each day: Who is a journalist? A theory being floated is that you cannot be both an activist or advocate and a journalist at the same time. The theory is being used to discredit Greenwalds credentials which, in turn, could remove from him the special legal protections enjoyed by the press. It does not matter that he has a long track record in journalism or that he writes for one of the most respected newspapers in Britain. If the professional discrediting of Greenwald is successful, then he could be charged as an activist co-leaker and the First Amendment would be side-stepped. The Obama administration would define who is a journalist and freedom of the press would become an oxymoron, like military justice. Greenwald deserves the last word. When the charge of activism was leveled at him by David Carr in the New York Times, Greenwald responded: It is not a matter of being an activist or a journalist; its a false dichotomy. It is a matter of being honest or dishonest. All activists are not journalists, but all real journalists are activists. Journalism has a value, a purpose to serve as a check on power.I have seen all sorts of so-called objective journalists who have all kinds of assumptions in every sentence they write. Rather than serve as an adversary of government, they want to bolster the credibility of those in power. That is a classic case of a certain kind of activism. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	A citizens' group presented a petition signed by nearly 75 million Americans to key members of Congress Monday, demanding the United States take immediate military action against China after the Communist nation shot down a DirecTV satellite last week. 'This is a blatant attack on the American way of life,' said the group's founder Abe Saloom. 'Some of us lost a DirecTV signal that day, but all of us lost the freedom to feel secure in our DirecTV connections for the future.' The statement urged the American military to move swiftly, asserting that many Americans do not know 'how they would go on' without the NFL Sunday Ticket package. 
3	32% Of Ministers Linked To Corrupt Finance-Energy ComplexMick Meaney The WDM has has condemned what it calls the finance-energy complex at the heart of government, which links big finance, oil and coal companies like Shell or Tullow Oil, to UK ministers at the very top of the government, including David Cameron, William Hague, George Osborne, Michael Gove, Oliver Letwin and Vince Cable. The WDM discovered that: The nexus is not limited to members of the government. High level executives of big private sector financial institutions are routinely appointed to serve on important government committees. Some of these also serve on the boards of energy companies or are involved in financing or lobbying for them. The House of Lords is also home to scores of individuals with links to either big finance or big energy. An investigation has recently revealed that a sixth of Lords have remunerated links to the financial sector. Journalists and other investigators have uncovered the scale of lobbying and revolving doors that exist between the world of banks, hedge funds and stockbrokers and the corridors of power. Big finance and big energy are intricately linked. Between 2010 and 2012, the UKs five biggest banks underwrote 95.5 billion in corporate bonds for fossil fuel companies and another 74.5 billion in new share issues. All five have people on their boards of directors with links to the fossil fuel industry. In turn the top four oil and gas and the top four coal mining companies all have board members with backgrounds in finance. According to the research, the value of fossil fuel shares on the London Stock Exchange is 900 billion higher than the GDP of the whole of sub-Saharan Africa. Top five UK banks underwrote 170 billion in bonds and share issues for fossil fuel companies 2010-12 more than 11 times the amount the UK contributed in climate finance for developing countries. Among the revelations, the report also reveals that foreign secretary William Hague, who used to work for Shell, helped Tullow Oil to get out of paying a 175 million tax bill in Uganda. Mr Hague actually made a personal phone call to the Ugandan president on Tullow Oils behalf. They also discovered that David Cameron received a 10,000 donation from Jonathan Green, from the hedge fund GLG Partners, a frequent investor in fossil fuels and the major investor in oil startup Lothian, and also has dealt in shares of numerous fossil fuel companies including; Victoria Oil Gas, RusPetro, Max Petroleum and Churchill Mining. The report goes on to say: Mark Foster Brown worked as a trader at hedge fund Altima Partners and donated 10,000 to Camerons leadership bid. Like GLG, Altima deals in fossil fuel shares, including Cadogan Petroleum and Lonrho plc,29 which is a multi-sector company involved in building port terminals in Africa to support the oil and gas industry. Other prominent finance sector donors to Camerons leadership campaign include James Lyle (formerly of Tiger Investments and Millgate Capital), Michael Spencer (derivatives trader at Dresdener Bank, formerly Natwest and Standard Chartered) and Robert Fleming (founder of the Robert Fleming merchant bank). It also revealed a brief history of the British governments affair with finance and energy companies: Many past ministers left government to fall straight into jobs in big finance or big oil. Here are some examples of former government ministers who have gone on to lucrative careers in finance or energy: Tony Blair (former prime minister): JP Morgan, Zurich, UI Energy Corporation and others. Peter Mandelson (various senior posts): Lazard investment bank. Mark Malloch Brown (former energy and development minister): consultant to Vitol and oil exploration company Southwest energy. Shriti Vadera (former DfID minister): BHP Billiton. Michael Foster (former DfID minister): Society of British Gas Industries.

3	25 Quotes About The Coming War With Syria That Every American Should SeeMichael Snyder Even in the midst of this bloody civil war, the rebels have taken the time and the effort to massacre entire Christian villages. Why is Barack Obama so obsessed with helping such monsters? There is no good outcome in Syria. The Assad regime is absolutely horrible and the rebels are even worse. Why would we want the U.S. military to get involved in such a mess? It isnt as if it is even possible for the U.S. military to resolve the conflict that is going on in that country. At the core, the Syrian civil war is about Sunni Islam vs. Shia Islam. It is a conflict that goes back well over a thousand years. Assad is Shiite, but the majority of Syrians are Sunni Muslims. Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been pouring billions of dollars into the conflict, because they would love to see the Assad regime eliminated and a Sunni government come to power in Syria. On the other side, Iran is absolutely determined to not allow that to happen. But there was a problem. The Syrian government has actually been defeating the rebels. So something had to be done. If it could be made to look like the Assad regime was using chemical weapons, that would give the U.S. government the moral justification that it needed to intervene militarily on the side of the rebels. In essence, it would be a great excuse for the U.S. to be able to go in and do the dirty work of the Saudis for them. So that is where we are today. The justification for attacking Syria that the Obama administration is giving us goes something like this -Chemical weapons were used in Syria. -The rebels do not have the ability to use chemical weapons. -Therefore it must have been the Assad regime that was responsible for using chemical weapons. -The U.S. military must punish the use of chemical weapons to make sure that it never happens again. The U.S. government spends $52,000,000,000 a year on intelligence, but apparently our intelligence community absolutely refuses to see the obvious. WND has been able to uncover compelling evidence that the rebels in Syria have used chemical weapons repeatedly, and yet government officials continue to insist over and over that no such evidence exists and that we need to strike Syria immediately. Shouldnt we at least take a little bit of time to figure out who is actually in the wrong before we start letting cruise missiles fly? Because the potential downside of an attack against Syria is absolutely massive. As I wrote about the other day, if we attack Syria we have the potential of starting World War 3 in the Middle East. We could find ourselves immersed in an endless war with Syria, Iran and Hezbollah which would be far more horrible than the Iraq war ever was. It would essentially be a war with Shia Islam itself, and that would be a total nightmare. If you are going to pick a fight with those guys, you better pack a lunch. They fight dirty and they are absolutely relentless. They will never forget and they will never, ever forgive. A full-blown war with Syria, Iran and Hezbollah would be a fight to the death, and they would not hesitate to strike soft targets all over the United States. I dont think that most Americans have any conception of what that could possibly mean. If the American people are going to stop this war, they need to do it now. The following are 25 quotes about the coming war with Syria that every American should see 1. Barack Obama, during an interview with Charlie Savage on December 20, 2007: The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation. 2. Joe Biden, during a television interview in 2007: The president has no constitutional authority to take this nation to war unless were attacked or unless there is proof we are about to be attacked. And if he does, if he does, I would move to impeach him. 3. U.S. Representative Ted Poe: Mr. President, you must call Congress back from recess immediately to take a vote on a military strike on Syria. Assad may have crossed a red line but that does not give you the authority to redline the Constitution. 4. U.S. Representative Kurt Schrader: I see no convincing evidence that this is an imminent threat to the United States of America. 5.U.S. Representative Barbara Lee: While we understand that as commander-in-chief you have a constitutional obligation to protect our national interests from direct attack, Congress has the constitutional obligation and power to approve military force, even if the United States or its direct interests (such as its embassies) have not been attacked or threatened with an attack. 6. The New York Times: American officials said Wednesday there was no smoking gun that directly links President Bashar al-Assad to the attack, and they tried to lower expectations about the public intelligence presentation. 7. U.S. Senator Rand Paul: The war in Syria has no clear national security connection to the United States and victory by either side will not necessarily bring in to power people friendly to the United States. 8. U.S. Senator Tim Kaine: I definitely believe there needs to be a vote. 9. Donald Rumsfeld: There really hasnt been any indication from the administration as to what our national interest is with respect to this particular situation. 10. Robert Fisk: If Barack Obama decides to attack the Syrian regime, he has ensured for the very first time in history that the United States will be on the same side as al-Qaida. 11. Former congressman Dennis Kucinich: So what, were about to become al-Qaedas air force now? 12. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem: We have two options: either to surrender, or to defend ourselves with the means at our disposal. The second choice is the best: we will defend ourselves. 13. A Syrian Army officer: We have more than 8,000 suicide martyrs within the Syrian army, ready to carry out martyrdom operations at any moment to stop the Americans and the British. I myself am ready to blow myself up against US aircraft carriers to stop them attacking Syria and its people. 14. Khalaf Muftah, a senior Baath Party official: We have strategic weapons and were capable of responding. 15. An anonymous senior Hezbollah source: A large-scale Western strike on Syria will plunge Lebanon virtually and immediately into the inferno of a war with Israel. 16. Ali Larjiani, the speaker of the Iranian parliament: the country which has been destroyed by the terrorists during the past two years will not sustain so much damage as the warmongers will receive in this war. 17. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: Starting this fire will be like a spark in a large store of gunpowder, with unclear and unspecified outcomes and consequences 18. General Mohammad Ali Jafari, chief of Irans Revolutionary Guards: (an attack on Syria) means the immediate destruction of Israel. 19. Israeli President Shimon Peres: Israel is not and has not been involved in the civil war in Syria, but if they try to hurt us, we will respond with full force. 20. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: We are not part of the civil war in Syria, but if we identify any attempt whatsoever to harm us, we will respond and we will respond in strength. 21. The Jerusalem Post: The lines between Hezbollah and the Syrian regime are so blurred that Israel will hold Damascus responsible if Hezbollah bombards Israel in the coming days, Israeli officials indicated on Wednesday. 22. Ron Paul: The danger of escalation with Russia is very high 23. Pat Buchanan: The sole beneficiary of this apparent use of poison gas against civilians in rebel-held territory appears to be the rebels, who have long sought to have us come in and fight their war. 24. Retired U.S. General James Mattis: We have no moral obligation to do the impossible and harm our childrens future because we think we just have to do something. 25. Syrian refugee Um Ahmad: Isnt it enough, all the violence and fighting that we already have in the country, now America wants to bomb us, too?

1	Outraged by the recent loosening of dress codes in her country, burqa wearer Uliya Salah condemned fellow Afghani Raheela Asaad Monday for appearing in public wearing an upper-face-revealing chador. The burqa-wearing Salah, who is outraged by Asaad's (far right) immodest dress. 'Just look how she dresses, the bridge of her nose visible for all the world to see,' said Salah, watching Asaad walk past her in downtown Ghazni. 'Has she no shame?' Not wanting to risk the chance that a stranger might be forced to hear a woman's voice, Salah whispered her indignant remarks through the small mesh square in her garment. 'Perhaps one could wear that sort of thing in the deepest recesses of one's home, where even male family members are not allowed,' Salah said. 'But doing so in public like that is outrageous. The harlot may as well strip off her veil and reveal her hair to the world.' As a strict follower of Pashtun traditions, Salah said she finds it laughable that Asaad considers herself to be a devout Muslim. '[Asaad] is clearly pursuing her darkest passions,' Salah said. 'Now that the Taliban is no longer here to protect their virtue, many of the women in the city have begun to walk around in shockingly immodest garb, shamelessly wearing next to nothing on their hands.' Asaad's garment was not only too revealing, Salah said, but it also bore numerous decorative touchesa mark of the sin of vanity. 'Did you see that small line of embroidery at the border of her veil?' Salah asked. 'What is next? A series of stripes at the hem of the garment near the ankles? I pray to Allah that I never see the day.' Salah has been in a near-constant state of outrage since Nov. 13, when the Taliban was ousted from her village. On that day, emboldened by the Northern Alliance victory, hundreds of women threw off their conservative burqas in favor of skimpy, low-cut chadors that exposed portions of their faces. 'It is sinful for a woman to tempt a man by revealing the color of her eyes to him,' Salah said. 'But the women around here leave nothing to the imagination. The pupil, the iris, the cornea... It's all right out there in the open for men to ogle.' Now that dressing less conservatively no longer carries the risk of public whipping, Asaad said she may wear jewelry or Western fashions beneath her chador. 'It is an important part of both my religion and my culture to observe full hajib,' said Asaad, who has worn traditional garb since she was 13. 'I keep my body covered when in the presence of men. In the mosque, I am careful to keep my eyes lowered at all times. But it would be nice to wear something different once in a while, like a shoe with an attractive but respectful heel.' Salah was outraged by the notion. 'Only whores of Babylon wear heels!' Salah said. 'Under the Taliban, it was illegal to wear high heels or any other shoe that produces a sound when walking, because a man must not hear a woman's footsteps. What is this world coming to?' Asaad said she is eager to return to her old life, before she was confined to her house and only allowed outside when escorted by a male relative. 'Of course, there are many things women should not do, like watch television or go to dances or read Western fashion magazines,' Asaad said. 'But I did miss being able to leave the house.' Asaad said she also hopes to return to school-teaching, which was her occupation before the Taliban forbade women from working. 'I taught math and reading and other subjects to young girls,' Asaad said. 'I taught them how to read the words of the prophet Mohammed and how to be a devoted follower of Islam.' Salah questioned Asaad's claims of devotion to Islam, citing a scandal in which she was involved last year. In May 2000, despite restrictions against women being examined by men, Asaad was caught attempting to see a male physician for treatment of kidney stones. It was only through a large bribe to Taliban officials and a three-month period of seclusion in a neighboring village that she escaped execution. 'It makes me sick to look at women like Raheela Asaad,' Salah said. 'She deserved no less a punishment than death for her blasphemy.' Despite the scandal and her liberal interpretation of Islamic law, Asaad said she is not ashamed of her actions. 'I am proud to be a modern woman,' Asaad said. 'I believe that women should be allowed to attend the university, so long as the school provides a separate area for women to sit in and they do not speak to the instructor before being spoken to. I even think it is acceptable for a young woman to ride a bicycle, provided she is out in the country where no man can view it. This is the 21st century, after all.'

'I have no idea what was going on out there, because it just went totally dark, and then everybody started screaming and there were these sirens going off for some reason,' said small forward Gerald Wallace, who admitted fearing for his life. 'Then there was this growling, super-loud voice that seemed to come from all around us. And somehow it knew all our nameshow? Anyway, that's when we all got the hell out of there as fast as we could.'After Bobcats coach Larry Brown spent 20 minutes coaxing the players back onto the court for the opening tip-off, the team scattered in every direction when a referee blew his whistle.

1	During an hour-long lunch break at Eagles training camp Friday, Philadelphia head coach Andy Reid mumbled something about rebuilding mode as a homemade Italian sandwich slowly began falling apart in his hands. 'Everything is in disarray right now, so it's important to set up a solid foundation and build from there,' said Reid, muttering to himself while ham, capocollo, provolone, and mayonnaise slipped out of a kaiser roll and fell onto his lap. 'Need to be patient while we get this thing back to the level we all want, because it'll take time. Have to plug up all the holes in the middle for sure, maybe with some roasted peppers or a few cuts of salami with ranch dressing. Still need to acquire several more key pieces of cheese.' After struggling to reconstruct the sandwich for several minutes, a frustrated Reid told team sources he 'may need to start over with a few fundamental components' and shoveled a wad of meat, bread, and cheese into his mouth.

2	What Starbucks Did To This Cop Confirms My Decision To Boycott Them Forever America is losing respect for law enforcement, and it is sickening. Unfortunately, not even our President is standing up for police officers. This disrespect was highlighted when a Philadelphia Starbucks worker denied a cop access to the bathroom. According to a Facebook post that has now gone viral, the sergeant walked into the Starbucks and asked for the key code for the restroom. An employee stated in a loud voice that the bathroom [was] for paying customers only. When the officer once again asked for access, explaining that he was on duty, the Starbucks customer denied him once more. While she continued loudly to tell me about the bathroom down the street, I was even more astonished that the many customers and other employees said nothing and seemed indifferent, the sergeant wrote. This is the world cops live in. What do you think? Should we boycott Starbucks? 
2	1,400 Workers Find Out Their Jobs Are Going To Mexico [VIDEO] Say what you want to about Donald Trump, but the truth of the matter is he is consistently being proven right. According to newly surfaced footage, hundreds of Indiana workers have just been told by Carrier Corp. that their jobs are being moved to Mexico. Reports indicate that a company representative announced that it intends to close down a plant in Indianapolis in order to open a new facility in Mexico. The move means that around 1,400 of its employees will lose their jobs over the next three years, and they will likely employ cheaper labor over the border. The best way to stay competitive and protect the business long-term is to move production from our facility in Indianapolis to Monterrey, Mexico, one company spokesman was heard saying. This is strictly a business decision, he continued. This is just one of many to make similar decisions recently. The Indy Star reports that another plant in Huntington, operated by United Technologies Electronic Controls, is also hoping to move to Mexico by 2018. What do you think? Is Trump right in wanting to bring jobs back into this country? We cant let this happen.

'This is my first Grand Slam title, though I hope to win many more,' said Federer, who initially appeared to be having fun at the expense of the media present by wearing a dark wig and speaking with an exaggerated Serbian accent. 'Seriously, I'm Novak Djokovic. I beat Roger Federer in straight sets in the semi-finals. I repeat, my name is Novak Djokovic. That's capital N, O, V, [approx. 10 letters omitted].' Longtime tennis reporter Bud Collins said the post-match press conference was 'classic loose, easygoing Federer,' adding that the 14-time Grand Slam champion always remains humble and often deflects praise onto others when asked about his professional achievements. 
3	US Now Admits it is Funding Occupy CentralTony Cartalucci The Washington Post would report in an article titled, Hong Kong erupts even as China tightens screws on civil society, that: Chinese leaders unnerved by protests elsewhere this year have been steadily tightening controls over civic organizations on the mainland suspected of carrying out the work of foreign powers. The campaign aims to insulate China from subversive Western ideas such as democracy and freedom of expression, and from the influence, specifically, of U.S. groups that may be trying to promote those values here, experts say. That campaign is long-standing, but it has been prosecuted with renewed vigor under President Xi Jinping, especially after the overthrow of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych following months of street demonstrations in Kiev that were viewed here as explicitly backed by the West. The Washington Post would also report (emphasis added): One foreign policy expert, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive subject, said Putin had called Xi to share his concern about the Wests role in Ukraine. Those concerns appear to have filtered down into conversations held over cups of tea in China, according to civil society group members. They are very concerned about Color Revolutions, they are very concerned about what is going on in Ukraine, said the international NGO manager, whose organization is partly financed by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), blamed here for supporting the protests in Kievs central Maidan square. They say, Your money is coming from the same people. Clearly you want to overthrow China. Congressionally funded with the explicit goal of promoting democracy abroad, NED has long been viewed with suspicion or hostility by the authorities here. But the net of suspicion has widened to encompass such U.S. groups as the Ford Foundation, the International Republican Institute, the Carter Center and the Asia Foundation. Of course, NED and its many subsidiaries including the International Republican Institute and the National Democratic Institute do no such thing as promoting democracy, and instead are in the business of constructing a global network of neo-imperial administration termed civil society that interlocks with the Wests many so-called international institutions which in turn are completely controlled by interests in Washington, upon Wall Street, and in the cities of London and Brussels. The very concept of the United Statespromoting democracy is scandalous when considering it isembroiled in an invasive global surveillance scandal, guilty of persecuting one unpopular war after another around the planet against the will of its own people and based on verified lies, and brutalizing and abusing its own citizens at home with militarized police cracking down on civilians in towns like Ferguson, Missouri making Chinas police actions against Occupy Central protesters pale in comparison. Promoting democracy is clearly cover for simply expanding its hegemonic agenda far beyond its borders and at the expense of national sovereignty for all subjected to it, including Americans themselves. In 2011, similar revelations were made public of the US meddling in the so-called Arab Spring when the New York Times would report in an article titled, U.S. Groups Helped Nurture Arab Uprisings, that: A number of the groups and individuals directly involved in the revolts and reforms sweeping the region, including the April 6 Youth Movement in Egypt, the Bahrain Center for Human Rights and grass-roots activists like Entsar Qadhi, a youth leader in Yemen, received training and financing from groups like the International Republican Institute, the National Democratic Institute and Freedom House, a nonprofit human rights organization based in Washington. The article would also add, regarding NED specifically, that: The Republican and Democratic institutes are loosely affiliated with the Republican and Democratic Parties. They were created by Congress and are financed through the National Endowment for Democracy, which was set up in 1983 to channel grants for promoting democracy in developing nations. The National Endowment receives about $100 million annually from Congress. Freedom House also gets the bulk of its money from the American government, mainly from the State Department. Pro-war and interventionist US Senator John McCain had famously taunted both Russias President Vladimir Putin andPresident Xi Jinpings predecessor in 2011 that the US subversion sweeping the Middle East was soon headed toward Moscow and Beijing. TheAtlanticin a 2011 article titled, The Arab Spring: A Virus That Will Attack Moscow and Beijing, would report that: He [McCain] said, A year ago, Ben-Ali and Gaddafi were not in power. Assad wont be in power this time next year. This Arab Spring is a virus that will attack Moscow and Beijing. McCain then walked off the stage. Considering the overt foreign-funded nature of not only the Arab Spring, but now Occupy Central, and considering the chaos, death, destabilization, and collapse suffered by victims of previous US subversion, Occupy Central can be painted in a new light a mob of dupes being used to destroy their own home all while abusing the principles of democracy behind which is couched an insidious, diametrically opposed foreign imposed tyranny driven by immense, global spanning corporate-financier interests that fear and actively destroy competition. In particular, this global hegemon seeks to suppress the reemergence of Russia as a global power, and prevent the rise of China itself upon the worlds stage. The regressive agenda of Occupy Centrals US-backed leadership, and their shameless exploitation of the good intentions of the many young people ensnared by their gimmicks, poses a threat in reality every bit as dangerous as the threat they claim Beijing poses to the island of Hong Kong and its people. Hopefully the people of China, and the many people around the world looking on as Occupy Central unfolds, will realize this foreign-driven gambit and stop it before it exacts the heavy toll it has on nations that have fallen victim to it before Libya, Syria, Ukraine, Egypt, and many others.

3	Shock Report: More Americans Killed by Police Since 9/11 than Soldiers Killed in WarBy Matt Agorist Thousands of families grieve daily for their fallen loved ones and the war machine that sent them to an early grave shows no signs of slowing. These fallen military men and women, we are told, died fighting for our freedom. The terroristshate our freedom,George W. Bush famously said after 9/11. And, if this was true, they certainly have little reason to hate us now, as Freedom in America has plummeted since that fateful September day. For the last 15 years, America has fallen across the board in indices rating the worlds countries by levels of freedom. Americans are under constant surveillance, our every move under a microscope by government goons, protecting us from terrorists. We are under the constant threat of violence from the state forpossessing a plant, or having a tail light out, or simply walking down the street. Americans are constantly paranoid of those blue and red lights popping up in the rearview mirror that most always end in extortion and could very well end with a visit to the hospital, being locked in a cage, or worse. In the Land of the Free, police killed more people in just one month of this yearthan the United Kingdom has in theentire 20th century. In the Land of the Free, police kill at more than 70 timesthe rate of other first world nations. In the Land of the Free, we are told to fear the terrorists but US police kill58 timesmore people than all terrorist activity against US civilians since 9-11! Whats more, while the death of 5,000 soldiers is most assuredly tragic, that number pales in comparison to the number of US citizens killed by police many of whom are also soldiers. Simple math would show us that since 9/11, at the FBIs rate, police killed more than 7,000 people. However, that number is even higher now that places like Killed By Police, Cop Crisis, and the Counted exist and detail every public killing by American police. Using the most recent numbers from 2013 to the present, and remaining conservative by using the FBIs loosely contrived number of 500 per year before then, the death toll reaches a whopping 8,296. But these people are criminals, right? They deserve to be killed, right? Wrong. While many of the citizens whove been killed by police in the last 15 years may have had it coming, all of them deserved due process. Not too mention, many of those killed simply came across the wrong cop while engaging in non-violent victimless crimes like ingesting an illegal plant. Whats more, some of these victims are innocent children like 6-year-oldJeremy Mardis of Louisiana. There is no doubt that criminals exist and present a danger to others. However, when the number of people killed by their own government vastly surpasses the number of people who died fighting for that government in foreign wars something needs to be said. Some will say that since the US is much larger in population than the UK, that is why American cops kill more. But this is a farce. To expose this farce, we can compare the US with communist China. China, whose population is 4 and 1/2 times the size of the United States, recorded 12 killings by law enforcement officers in 2014. Law enforcement in the United States killed 92 times morecitizens in the same period. We will not pretend that cops in the US kill 70 times more people than other first world countries for one simple reason. However, part of the multifaceted situation which has led to the trigger-happiness of American cops is their training. This excessive violence has gotten so bad that American police chiefs are being sent to Scottland to learn steps to change this deadly paradigm. A former hostage negotiator with the Boston police department, Chuck Wexler brought a team of cops across the pond in a last stitch effort to curb killer cops and his story was documented by Sky News. According to Sky News: As the two sets of police officers met, MrWexler described how if confronted by a suspect holding a rock an American officer would pull out his gun. Youre going to kill someone for throwing a rock. Thats what youre gonna do, said MrWexler. How would society over here think about you shooting someone with a rock? They would not accept it. The senior American officers, from forces such as the NYPD and LAPD, watched demonstrations at Police Scotland training centres. Sky News cameras joined them as they went out on patrol in Glasgow, and watched as unarmed police dealt with a variety of potentially violent situations. What the report showed is that cops in Scotland know how to avoid confrontation. Instead of immediately resorting to deadly violence, the Scottish cop will step back, use protective shields, or move behind a car for protection. What the report also found is that American police have a knack for verbally escalating situations too. Sergeant Jim Young trains hundreds of Scottish police recruits every year. The American style of policing, its very authoritative, he said. Theres a difference of going in, straight up at this level, whereby youre ordering people, youre shouting at them. You cant go anywhere after that. But if you start down low you can adjust your communications to suit. Basically, what this experience is showing is that American police are aggressive both verbally and physically and its deadly. The good news is that there are cops out there that know this and they are taking action, like the chiefs going to Scotland, to correct it. Its about time that we step up and this is our chance, said Mr.Wexler. Its a crisis but its also our chance to do the right thing. Below is this eye-opening video of American cops learning to be less violent. This training cannot happen soon enough as America is already on track to kill another 1,000 citizens in 2016. Matt Agorist is an honorably discharged veteran of the USMC and former intelligence operator directly tasked by the NSA. This prior experience gives him unique insight into the world of government corruption and the American police state. Agorist has been an independent journalist for over a decade and has been featured on mainstream networks around the world. Follow @MattAgorist Yeah yeah yeah got the whole killer cop narrative already. But why arent you drawing attention to why we have killer cops to start with? When people seem to think they need governmental permission (read: legal) for everything and use power of making laws to manipulate others, you will always have some that are the whacking stick. That is the police. IF police had 95% less laws to enforce and excuses to encounter private citizens AND were held accountable for their actions by their communities, there would be drastically less crime and less police violence. IMO (I repeat:)After 9-11 the Police Captains of America were wined dined on taxpayer paid junkets to Israhell trained/inculcated by the Mossad to treat Americans just like they treat the Palestinians with the escalating violence of pursuing imaginary terrorists under the edicts of the dual-citizen (Kagan) Khazarian/Ashkenazi Zionists in collusion with imperialistic American 1st families (Bush et al), that helped orchestrate 9-11 with the hijacking of the US Federal Govnt. hence the militarized stasi/fascist police state that has engulfed us all as were all now under the heels of their boots echoing on the cobblestones.. dressing them in demonic black uniforms granting them a plethora of military ordinance to the aforementioned Police Captains all over America.so put your horses in the wagon because its all been downhill since 9-11. you nailed it! Police will end up at the wrong door. Kill everyone inside then tell the MSM its a tragedy. .To establish dominance it is very important to discharge your fire arm so at least shoot the dog. when they said that everything is in reverse, it is absolutely true, not only that all the good guys are inside, and all the bad guys and serial killers are wearing uniforms. Stupid statement. it is also like the story yesterday, about protecting Donald trump from hitmen, I do not think that there is anything worry about there, they only kill the good guys and the crap always get left behind. then hillary will live forever.. lets do the math on bad guys.. how many people did trump allow to be MURDERED in Benghazi.. well wait while you do the math.. How many peoples lives have been lost to feed Trumps ego over the years? Trump is a selfish egomaniac. Why do you even think he is a good candidate? Because he opposes that Jezebel- spirited woman Hillary Clinton? well lets see the documentation that supports your lie? no one died because of trump.. cant say that about hillary though, can you! How did I lie? Do you actually want to defend the position that Trump IS NOT selfish and an egomaniac? Did I lie when I asked you the question, Why do you even think he is a good candidate? Then I offered an answer to that question with a tentative, because he opposes that Jezebel-spirited woman Hillary Clinton. I would like to get a sign that says HILLARY FOR THE PILLORY though YOU stated How many peoples lives have been lost to feed Trumps ego over the years? as though someone has died because of him, that is a lie. You assumed die, but there are other ways to lose your lifelike everything you worked to get your whole life. Remember back when Trump was making this really big casino on land that just so happened to already have homes and inhabitants on and Trump used his influence and money to displace them. Were you to make my statement to them, do you think they would have lovely things to say about Trump? YOU, desertspeaks, need to go back in the WAAAAAAY BACK MACHINE and read, watch old interviews, etc. with da Donald. Go back to the 80s and 90s. I think you may be enamored by Trump simply because you lack benefit of a longer memory of what he has done in the past. so no deaths,.. Im not enamored by trump YOU ASSUME so though! The Waaaaay Back Machine. I like that. May I plagiarize you if I find occasion? My father said that Obama is a post turtle. You knowwhen you see a turtle balanced on top of a fence post, you know 3 things: Maybe all the politicians have been post turtles for some time. Only recently I heard this term, Post Turtle, I think from Jim Marrs, a Texan of course. Thanks for the reminder. JWC We, my bumpkin classmates and I, had a beautiful teacher brought to us in the 7th grade. He turned us into a joyous learning machine. Naturally they fired him at the end of the year. I went to see him once to thank him and at that time he had just quit teaching. Last I heard he was a hermit living alone in a hotel room in Seattle and would see and talk with no one. He was a beautiful and loving boy and they ruined him. So, let that be a lesson to you if you ever get discouraged. Just say no, not me, and as my mentor used to repeat like the times tables, keep on keeping onperseverance being fundamental as Blake and many others said: If the fool would only persist in his folly he would become wise. Again, thanks for the post turtle reminder. JWC There are multiple problems. Firstly, cops that break the law need to be persecuted and severely because they are in a position of power. Next, those throwing the rock should be shot for being trouble makers. Who thinks they can throw a rock at police and be ok with that? Is the cop supposed to run away? How stupid. If I was a cop I would not let crazy people attack me. What if he hits you with the rock and then takes your gun and shoots you and others? All corruption needs to be dealt with severely. Allowing those who do bad things to get away with it will just breed more trouble makers. What if? So you think anyone who throws a rock should be shot, and that is ok? How about maybe just cut the rock throwers arm off, but only for 1st time offenders? I meant to say with rubber bullets, not killed. If you go to Singapore you will not see any grafitti because they will severely cane you for doing so. Maybe the scum in the inner cities need to stop committing crimes. Then it is possible that they wont be shot dead quite so often. Really, how many of the people shot by police were not involved in committing some type of crime and then resisting arrest afterwards? What isnt a crime these days? you mean like Tamir Rice in the Cleveland Park, what was he, a 13 yr. old boy with a toy gun in pants, who was shot within 2 seconds of police cruiser arriving?? SHOT DEAD! Many more like this if one reads. Allowing those who do bad things to get away with it will just breed more trouble makers. We can start with LEOs.and thats ALL of themever seen on cop cuff anothernope. Pure Bull! This is the meme of the Obama administration and his attack on Police to help his set of criminal blacks he has unleashed on society. Police are not killing everybody. They are trying to keep the people safe under impossible conditions because the national government is on the side of black criminals and black revolutionaries. Since 2001, there have been approximately 225,000 murders, as in homicides committed everyday Americans against other everyday Americans, in the U.S. So you may want to conduct an in-depth analysis of human nature before you continue using biased and partial statistics to make dumb people (i.e. most of the people in this forum) buy off on your narrative that people are being slaughtered by a blood-thirsty, tyrannical police force

3	Humanity at the Height of Folly: Nuclear Power and Earthquake ZonesRichard Wilcox It really does make one wonder how all of the worlds aging reactors will be dealt with if there is a global economic collapse. According to the Wall Street Journal which reported the research of Tohoku University geologists, the following points are worth noting: The only ray of hope I could glean from this scenario is that seismicity near the FNPP plant is relatively low compared to that near Iwaki, but Iwaki is only a few miles to the south of the FNPP. A fault line that runs close to the plant could be weakened by shifting seismic fluids (8). The Tohoku University geologists make clear the daily quakes Japan experiences arenot anomalous but according to a well studied and documented pattern: Their report is supported by other research that claims aftershocks along Fukushima, Ibaraki borders may take over 100 years to subside [and this region is] relatively close to the damaged Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant (10). As Kobe University seismologist Katsuhiko Ishibashi noted to a government panel in 2005, an earthquake and its seismic thrust can hit multiple parts of a nuclear plant and result in a severe accident (11). No one listened to Professor Ishibashi then (ironically his name is translated as stone bridge) but they sure the heck should have! In addition, Tokyo University geologists have now warned that chances of a new big earthquake in Japan are 75 percent in the next four years, and that Japan has drastically underestimated the power of earthquakes in their building standards. Nuclear plants are vastly under prepared for the magnitude of large quakes, having been based on projections that are now outdated and debunked. In essence, it is impossible to build nuclear power plants to withstand major earthquakes (12). From the official Japanese sources themselves we can see that the 3/11 earthquake intensity was 6+ and that it was indeed strong enough to destroy at least Unit 1 at the FNPP. According to at least two reputable sources Unit 1 was destroyed primarily due to seismic activity and not the tsunami or failed back up generators (although those events contributed) (13). Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) and the Japanese Governmentthe Keystone Cops teamed up with the Larry Curly and Moe outfit is still telling us that we should not worry. Tepco recently complained to critics that: It sounds like a lot of mumbo jumbo to me 20 percent improvements do not inspire confidence in a region ridden with constant seismic activity. Such statements are absurdly overconfident on the face. The FNPP complex looks like a war zone which is at any rate not as fit as it originally was, and even if in pristine condition may not handle a major earthquake. Nevertheless, lets hope the fools are right this time because we could all use a little Mercy Now (15). Short of the Hand of Grace intervening, people of good conscience had better act quickly to solve this problem. 1.

2	BREAKING: White Officer Kills Another Black Teen In Ferguson, Riots Ensue According to recent reports, a Ferguson police officer was moonlighting as a security guard for a private firm when he shot and killed a black teenager on Wednesday night. The incident occurred during what is being called a gunfight, and the case is already being compared to the Michael Brown shooting. It also comes on the brink of a weekend of protests over the Brown shooting. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the shooting occurred at about 7:30 PM , after the officer patrolling in a vehicle stopped four young men near the Missouri Botanical Gardens. When the man began to flee the officer chased after then, first on foot, and then in his vehicle. According to an assistant police chief, the men stopped running and began fighting with the officer. Pulling a gun and firing at the officer three times. The officer then let fire, around 17 times, according to Police Chief Sam Dotson. A 9mm Ruger was found on the body of the man killed. Immediately, stories started surfacing comparing the incident to the Brown shooting. Relatives of 18-year-old Vonderrit Myers Jr. claim that he was unarmed and carrying a sandwich when the officer shot him. The mans uncle claims that the witnesses told him the shooting was a case of mistaken identity. My nephew was coming out of a store from purchasing a sandwich. Security was supposedly searching for someone else. They tased him, Williams told reporters. I dont know how this happened, but they went off and shot him 16 times. Thats outright murder. Still, authorities claim that the teenager was no stranger to law enforcement, and had several encounters previously. What do you think? Do you believe the officer was doing his job? 
1	Following their 99-76 Game 7 loss in the Eastern Conference Finals, Indiana Pacers players confirmed Tuesday that they felt like complete idiots for believing in themselves and foolishly thinking that they ever had a chance against the Miami Heat. Its downright embarrassing that every player on this team was actually convinced we were good enough to beat a team loaded with NBA superstars, said Pacers small forward Paul George, who apologized for getting pumped up by a speech from Indiana head coach Frank Vogel. What the hell were we thinking? They have LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, and we have David West and George Hill. Nobody on this team has ever averaged more than 20 points a game. When I think about how confident we were during games, I cant believe we acted so stupid. Deep down we should have believed with all our heart that we would fail. At press time, George acknowledged that Indiana fans must have been fucking delusional to seriously believe in the Pacers.

Recently, a video shows just how far Obama is willing to go to turn his back on former military men and women. Now, they are returning the favor by literally turning their backs on him. When Obama made his way through Delaware in hopes of raising more dollars, a group of veterans decided to give him the welcome he deserves. U.S. Marine Corp Veteran Martin Nicholson took it upon himself to round about 25 veterans to greet Obama on his way through the state. The video shoes Nicholson giving an about-face order right as Obama passed by. One by one, you see the group of veterans turn their back on the president, while waving the American flag. We feel hes turned his back on us veterans, Nicholson tells the camera, so were going to turn our backs on him as he drives by on his motorcade to show our appreciation that he does not care about us veterans. Watch the video below and let us know your thoughts. 
2	Baltimore Prosecutor Is Facing Major Jail Time Because Of THIS Her Career Is Over Following six officers being charged with Freddie Grays death, Baltimore States Attorney Marilyn Mosby has come under fire. Now, Page Croyder, a veteran of the Baltimore States Attorneys Office is making claims that Mosby could be jailed for false arrest. In a blog for the Baltimore Sun, Croyder claimed that Mosby was opening herself up to a civil suit. Mosby has undermined the cause of justice rather than promoted it with her haste, Croyder wrote. She has created an expectation of guilt and conviction. But her own charging documents do not even support the most sensational charge of second degree murder, and they raise multiple points of doubt about other charges. Her case against the two arresting officers rests upon an illegal arrest, Croyder continued. She says the knife that Freddie Gray was carrying was legal. But according to the Baltimore Sun, the police task force examined it and said the officers were indeed correct; the knife was spring-assisted and therefore prohibited. This mistake is a crucial one in Mosbys case, and Croyder claimed that she could be charged under her own theory of false imprisonment. When the police cannot depend upon the states attorney to be as thorough, competent, non-political, and fair with them as she is supposed to be with all citizens, none of us will be safe, Croyder concluded. What do you think of Croyders comments? Do you agree that Mosbys charges were unsupported? 
3	Federal Appeals Court Rules Stingray Surveillance Does Not Require WarrantBy Derrick Broze In a vote of 12 to 3 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit has ruled that police can legally gather cell site location information (CSLI) without judicial approval via a search warrant. The 4th Circuit made the ruling based on rules implemented before the growth of cellphones and computers which allow law enforcement to collect business or third party records without a court order. The rules were originally intended to govern banking transactions and phone calls made by a traditional landline. Writing for the majority opinion, Judge Diana Gribbon Motz said the Supreme Court could eliminate the third-party doctrine at a future date and Congress could require a warrant for CSLI, but without a change in controlling law, we cannot conclude that the Government violated the Fourth Amendment in this case. Motz also stated that overturning the ruling would conflict with recent rulings by federal appellate courts in Florida and Cincinnati, New Orleans and Philadelphia. The judgement relates to two Maryland men, Aaron Graham and Eric Jordan, who were convicted of armed robberies in Baltimore. Both men were under investigation for seven months. During that time period police investigators gathered evidence using cell site simulators, also known by the name Stingrays. Stingrays are the brand name of a popular cell-site simulator manufactured by the Harris Corporation. The Electronic Frontier Foundation describes Stingrays 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 cell phone 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 the Stingray can figure out who, when, and to where you are calling, the precise location of every device within the range, and with some devices, even capture the content of your conversations. Graham and Jordans attorneys argued that the use of cell site simulators amounted to dragnet surveillance because police were able to gather sensitive data about their lives, thus violating the Fourth Amendment right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches. The three dissenting judges called the majority decision a dangerous expansion of the third-party doctrine. Judge James A. Wynn stated that the Fourth Amendment, necessarily, is in retreat. The Washington Post reports that Wynn stated that CSLI is different from other types of data because phone users do not voluntarily convey the information and are likely unaware they are providing local cell towers with sensitive data that can be scooped up by law enforcement. I suppose we can also expect no privacy in data transmitted by networked devices such as the Fitbit bracelet, which can track the steps you take in a day, calories burned, and minutes asleep, Wynn said in a footnote discussing the popular device that can track an individuals temperature, and heart and breathing rates. The decision by the 4th Circuit overturns a ruling from August 2015 which found that accessing cell site information without a warrant was unconstitutional because law enforcement are able to gather sensitive data, including a persons daily routine in both public and private spaces. Because months worth of cell phone location data can reveal extraordinarily private details of a persons life, the right way to protect peoples privacy interest in that information is to require a warrant, said Nathan Freed Wessler, a staff attorney with the ACLUs Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project. The Fourth Circuits decision is not the last word on this issue. Other appellate courts will surely address these questions soon, and the Supreme Court may well need to weigh in. The ruling is likely to make its way to the Supreme Court as local, state, and federal officials grapple with the rise of invasive technology that is slowly eroding the concept of privacy. On May 18, Illinois passed Senate Bill 2343 which forces police to obtain a court order based on probable cause that a person whose location information is sought has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime, is required for any permitted use before using a Stingray or similar surveillance device. Both the Harris Corp. and the Federal Bureau of Investigations 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, are not allowed to speak on the details of their arrangements. This has created a dangerous precedent which allows law enforcement on the local, state, and federal level to operate the devices with impunity. Americans remain largely ignorant to the fact that numerous agencies are gathering their private information without a warrant. Follow this link for more information on the Stingrays.

3	Reps From Half the Worlds Population Meet to Resist Foreign Destabilization in SyriaTony Cartalucci, Contributor The meeting comes as revelations emerge that the United States, United Kingdom, NATO-member Turkey, and members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) are supplying weapons, cash, and other assistance to foreign militants with direct links to Al Qaeda. These include Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) militants who are in fact listed by both the US State Department and the UK Home Office (page 5, .pdf) as a foreign terrorist organization and a proscribed terrorist organization respectively. Earlier this month, during a Saudi-Qatari sponsored, US-UK-backed UN resolution, a large number of nations either voted no, abstained, or failed to attend the vote, indicating slipping support for what is sometimes called the Washington consensus. US, GCC, and NATO actions in Libya in support of sectarian militants to install a stable of Western-created proxies into power has stripped away much of the primacy of international law and left the willfully abused geopolitical tenant of responsibility to protect (R2P) irrevocably in tatters. With the Wests attempted destabilization of Syria stalled, global public opinion has grown aware of the true nature of Syrias so-called rebels, and that many are foreign fighters committing an array of abhorrent atrocities. The UNs failure to act, or even worse, its role in facilitating what equates to military aggression couched in humanitarian pretenses, jeopardizes international law all together. The West has ungracefully faced this quandary of its own creation by simultaneously attempting to use the presence of Al Qaeda terrorists as a causus belli to militarily intervene while also rebranding Al Qaeda as champions of freedom in Syria. One breathtaking account was given by the Fortune 500-funded Council on Foreign Relations in their article, Al-Qaedas Specter in Syria, claiming: The Syrian rebels would be immeasurably weaker today without al-Qaeda in their ranks. By and large, Free Syrian Army (FSA) battalions are tired, divided, chaotic, and ineffective. Feeling abandoned by the West, rebel forces are increasingly demoralized as they square off with the Assad regimes superior weaponry and professional army. Al-Qaeda fighters, however, may help improve morale. The influx of jihadis brings discipline, religious fervor, battle experience from Iraq, funding from Sunni sympathizers in the Gulf, and most importantly, deadly results. In short, the FSA needs al-Qaeda now. Clearly, no nation in good conscience, or at least interested in self-preservation, could condone the overt destabilization of Syria by foreign powers with disingenuous motives, using listed-terrorist organizations to do so. The potential of this same ploy then being turned against other nations including members of Irans 30 nation conference, or even the US and UKs Friends of Syria confabs, becomes increasingly more likely if such tactics are not condemned and altogether balked. Iran plans to hold another such conference later this month. For more information, please listen to the first half of Dr. Webster Tarpleys August 11th broadcast ofWorld Crisis Radio.

1	At first glance, 17-year-old Jeremy Davis looks like any other member of the Shippensburg Lions wrestling team. He jostles for key position against his teammates, participates in spin and takedown drills, and seems to enjoy the challenges of his sport. But when the coach's whistle blows, a fire is lit in his eyes. In a tone of voice that could only be described as driven, Jeremy says to his wrestling partner, 'C'mon, man, I don't want you to show me your best out there. Give me a break, okay?' More than his mental attitude sets him apart. As Jeremy walks toward the sidelines and his 5-foot-9 frame comes closer into view, it becomes impossible not to notice the striking, but merely physical, difference between him and the rest of this Quad-A wrestling team: Due to a rare congenital disorder, Jeremy was born with only one arm. While most would have let the deformity relegate them to watching from the stands, Jeremy was determined to participate in high school athletics. Yet he made it clear from the first day of wrestling practice that he would only join the team under one condition: that no matter what, his teammates would always take it easy on him. Jeremy made sure they knew he would rather quit than let his teammates treat him just like everyone else, and made it clear he wanted them to let him win whenever possible. 'When I first joined the wrestling team, everyone went out of their way to act as if I was just another wrestler,' Davis said. 'That made absolutely no sense to me. I had to tell them, 'Fellas, just because I only have one arm doesn't mean that I don't want you to recognize that fact. Come on, I'm at a clear disadvantage here! Ease up!'' 'Ever since I spoke openly about my condition, and the guys started treating me like I was completely different and separate from the rest of the team, everything has been great,' a smiling Davis added. 'Now my teammates aren't scared to really get in there, to let me put them into these really cool holds. They let me pin them, too. It's awesome.' A four-sport athlete, Jeremy enjoyssome would even say thrives onthe fact that his fellow competitors take it easy on him while he scores wide-open baskets, gets base hits, and makes tackles. No matter what sport he is playing, Jeremy demands that his opponents give him nothing more than 75 percent, and has been known to become enraged when his opponents aren't letting up enough. 'If I sense, even for a second, that the people I'm going up against aren't feeling sorry for me or taking pity on me, I'll stop right there in the middle of the game and say, 'You need to hold back more. You need to let me sack that quarterback,'' Davis said. 'Look, I like sacking the quarterback, okay? It's a great feeling. And if the only way for me to get that feeling is for somebody to feel bad for me, so be it.' 'I might have a disability. In fact, I do have a disability. That's the point. But that doesn't mean I don't want my opponent to concede with everything he's got,' Davis added. 'I mean, I only have one arm, for Christ's sake!' To many, Jeremy is an inspiration. Corey Hamlin, one of his teammates on the varsity baseball team, said that Jeremy is so passionate and focused on being singled out that, if you forget he has a physical deformity for even a moment, he will go out of his way to remind you of his affliction. 'He always says, 'Don't you ever, ever, ever treat me like I'm one of the guys,'' Hamlin said. 'One time in practice, I made the mistake of throwing him a normal fastball. He immediately threw down his bat and asked me what the hell I was trying to prove. I got the message loud and clear. I never tried to strike him out as an equal again.' 'To me, he's a teammate second, and a guy who just happens to have one arm first,' Hamlin continued. 'And Jeremy wouldn't want it any other way.' Jeremy's parents, Carol and Andrew Davis, said their son always wanted to be defined by his rare condition. They pointed out that, even at an early age, they were impressed by how often their child would use his handicap as an excuse to gain a few more yards or get a do-over on a free throw. 'We never had to rush onto the football field or basketball court to protect our son,' Andrew Davis said. 'Jeremy would have hated that. Instead, he wanted to be the one to point out his handicap when someone stole the ball while he was dribbling. During his sophomore year, the football coach put him in at running back on the last play of the game, and he rushed for a 65-yard touchdown. Even though the opposing team just stepped back and let him score, Jeremy celebrated as if they had actually tried to tackle him. He didn't care. That takes guts.' 'My son is my hero,' Carol Davis chimed in with a warm smile. 'Believe me, I wish I had the courage to tell people to lay off.' 
2	BREAKING: America Is UNDER ATTACK, 3 Cities With ISIS Cross Hairs On Them According to reports, a new threat video from the Islamic State group promised more attacks on American citizens in Orlando, as well as attacks in major cities like New York and Washington, D.C. According to The Clarion Project, the video was released by ISIS supporters in the aftermath of Omar Mateens assault at the Pulse gay nightclub. The attack killed 49 innocent people. At this point, it is well documented that Mateen had called police before the attack to declare allegiance to the Islamic State group, and had been investigated by the FBI for supporting terrorist messages in the past. The infidels of crusade America will no longer have security or comfort, the narrator of video commented. New York, Orlando, Washington and other cities will not feel safety and comfort. The video also commented that as long as America kept attacking the forces of the caliphate in Syria and Iraq, they will continue to attack our ground. They added that victory was forthcoming. The Department of Homeland Security underlined this sentiment with a terror threat bulletin from the Department of Homeland Security. In this environment, we are particularly concerned about homegrown violent extremists who could strike with little or no notice, the bulletin read. The tragic events of Orlando several days ago reinforce this. Accordingly, increased public vigilance and awareness continue to be of utmost importance. DHS is especially concerned that terrorist-inspired individuals and homegrown violent extremists may be encouraged or inspired to target public events or places, the statement continued, noting that extremists consider a diverse and wide selection of targets for attacks. What do you think of these threats? Do we need a strong leader in the White House who isnt afraid to take action?

The hacker group opened the battle with direct denial of service attacks, followed by a shutdown of social media accounts and websites. In their efforts, they found one obstacle that they werent expecting: businesses in Silicon Valley. Anonymous announced to the American public that Twitter and Cloudflare have been helping websites used by ISIS to defend against cyber attack like theirs. Cloudflare is a hosting service designed to help websites stay online when they are the target of DDoS, which are designed specifically to crash their sites with overwhelming traffic. The tech start-up has admitted that they dont discriminate against any users. @CloudFlare Stop Protecting #ISIS Websites We Are #Anonymous We Are Legion We Do Not Forgive We Do Not Forget Exepect US! @unanymous_1 tweeted. Once again, @CloudFlare have been found to be providing services to pro #IslamicState websites. Shameful. #OpISIS #Daesh #Anonymous @GroupAnon tweeted the next day. CEO Matthew Prince went on to criticize the group, claiming that they were once customers. Id suggest this was armchair analysis by kidsits hard to take seriously, Prince argued.Anonymous uses us for some of its sites, despite pressure from some quarters for us to take Anonymous sites offline. Even if we were hosting sites for ISIS, it wouldnt be of any use to usI should imagine those kinds of people pay with stolen credit cards and so thats a negative for us. Prince did go on to claim that he would remove a site if approached with proper legal action, but that often investigators want to keep sites up rather than take them down. What do you think?

3	Presidential Horserace is a Two-Party Con JobPA Farruggio When most Americans think of horseracing, they think of the preeminent race of all, the Kentucky Derby. Sorry folks, but there is one race that is even bigger and more celebrated than that one. We call it the Presidential Horserace. Funny how each time the pundits always say how This is the most important election (race) in recent history! To us who know better, its just another horserace. Once again the money is flowing out of the pockets of the super rich for both of our two-party con job. In 2008, Mr. Hope and Change did better than I dont approve of torture but I approve of bombing Iran McCain (remember his song Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran? ). In 2008 Obama received over $21 million from the health care industry to McCains $7+ million. And progressives out there thought that Obamacare would include the option to buy into our Medicare system? Come on, get real! This years horserace looks like Mr. Brylcream Romney will outdo Barack in the money raised area. What does it matter? The sad reality is all you suckers out there who call yourselves progressives or lefties will send money to the Democratic Party foxes to help keep the Republican wolves at bay. Today it was announced that the National Organization for Women endorsed President Obama, saying We are proud to stand behind a president who unquestionably represents the path forward to achieve equality for women. I guess our friends at NOW are discounting the multitude of women who are dead or maimed for life by the bombing raids that Mr. Obama authorized in Libya, Afghanistan and Pakistan. No more Junior Bush to hang that dirty hat on. He did his evil deeds and now Barack follows the script. Or how about the fact that Mr. Obama, just like all his recent predecessors, continues to allow more and more of our tax dollars to go for military spending (56 cents out of each dollar sent to Uncle Sam last year). Meanwhile, that money could be going to our states and cities and funneled down to help real low- and middle-income working women to make their lives easier especially as moms. If even 25% of that outrageous sum of $563 billion last year was returned to our localities, imagine how much more money could be found for daycare, healthcare and better job training for women! New Jersey activist, Ed Dunphy, holds his sign each time he demonstrates outside the state capitol: Bush=Obama=Bush. That kind of says it all, yes? I loathe the right wing of our great nation. I loathe Mitt Romney and the multitude of phony Republican ideologues, politicos, business mega millionaires and of course the hypocrites who call themselves followers of Jesus. They wave the flag and demand that more guns and ammos be fired, so long as their asses and those of their kids are not on the line. They rant and rave about big government and then fight to feed at the public trough for war related contracts and bailouts for their thievery. Where were Romneys sons during the first or second invasions of Iraq? They were of age to serve. Did he encourage them to fight the good fight? Just like with Junior Bush, Romney made sure that other kids and not his own did the invading, occupying, killing and dying in the desert heat. So, I have no interest in the Republicans gaining power at all. The point here is that, on key issues of our time, it really does not matter who wins the horserace. Either way, as Larry Pinkney states, we are all done for. When the day comes that most of my fellow Americans realize that they have been hypnotized, mesmerized and bamboozled by this two-party scam, they will gather on the street corners and public arena and stand up for real change on real issues that affect their lives and the life of our great nation. Sadly, you wont hear any discussion or debate on what really matters for we working stiffs via the mainstream media. No, all you will hear and see are the diversions and soap opera stories that have usually appeared in the base magazines on supermarket checkout lines.

In the segment, Baxter is preparing a speech for his daughters business school graduation ceremony. Many, his daughter, asks him if hed like her help before she sends it in for review. Send it in? What do you mean? Baxter asks his daughter. She explains that the school requires a faculty committee to check it for micro-aggressions. Unsure of what this means exactly, Baxter begins reading his speech. He is stopped at the first sentencewhen he begins Ladies and Gentlemen. According to his daughter, this phrase excludes those who dont identify as either. She also protests him labeling America the land of opportunity.

3	Amerikas Future is DeathThe day we see truth and do not speak is the day we begin to die. Martin Luther King Conspiracy theories have now blossomed into what the smug presstitute media calls a conspiracy culture. According to the presstitutes, Americans have to find some explanation for their frustrations and failings, so Americans shift the blame to the Bilderbergers, the Rothschilds, the New World Order and so forth and so on. Readers will not be surprised that I disagree with the presstitutes. Indeed, the conspiracy culture is the product of the presstitute medias failure to investigate and to report truthfully. I am certain that the Western media is worse than the Soviet media was. The Soviet media devised ways for helping the public to read between the lines, whereas the Western media is so proud to be confidants of the government that they deliver the propaganda without any clues to the readers that it is propaganda. Americans have been fed lies by their government and the governments presstitute media for so long that it is not surprising that Americans increasingly believe that there is a conspiracy operating against them. Millions of Americans have been evicted from their jobs, careers, and homes while the crooks who stole from them run free and bankroll the presidential candidates. The world as millions of Americans knew it has come to an end, and no one has been held accountable. The explanation that Americans get from the media is that it is their own fault. They bought houses they shouldnt have bought, and they didnt train for the right jobs. It is not unreasonable for Americans to conclude that a conspiracy is operating against them. Americans are told that their government cannot afford to help them because of the budget deficit and the burden on our grandchildren. But Americans see the trillions of dollars that are lavished on banksters, on wars, and on Homeland Security. Why is a police state and another attack on another Muslim country more important than keeping Americans in their jobs and in their homes? No, of course not. The spiel will be about our brave troops who are fighting and dying to make the world safe for democracy and womens rights. Washington will wrap itself in the flag and exhort Americans to support our troops in the orchestrated war of the day. Hitlery Clinton still gets on the moral high horse and rails at China and Russia, but all the world sees is hypocrisy. No one, not even Washingtons puppet governments, any longer takes Washingtons moralizing as anything more than a mask for domination by force alone. Democracy, Washington declares, comes out of the barrel of a gun. Today moralizing is all about money, but not for the 99%. The 99% cannot find good jobs or earn anything on their savings, because the economy is run for the 1%. University graduates cannot get jobs and pay off their student loans. Retraining for the millions of Americans whose jobs were shipped offshore or filled by foreigners brought in on H1-B visas has proved to be a fraud, as there are no jobs for the retrained displaced long-term discouraged American work force. The official jobs projection by the US government is that few university graduates are needed in the work force, so the old mantra that education is the answer is just another lie from the Ivy League economic departments who sell the establishments lies for money. Any American citizen accustomed to traveling Americas wide open spaces prior to 9/11 must be astonished by the sudden rise of the intrusive Homeland Security, a gestapo-sounding name if there ever was one. Porno-scans and genital feel-ups have spread from airports to bus and train stations and to the public highways, despite the absence of terrorist events. No one in their right mind could possibly think that a 90-year old grandmother in a wheel chair is a terrorist whose diaper needs to be checked or that blond and blue-eyed parents would have strapped a bomb around their 5-year old daughters waist. No one except the gestapo Department of Homeland Security. Even some of the gullible flag-waving patriotic conservatives are beginning to wonder about all the security. The reports that the Department of Homeland Security has ordered 750 million rounds of people-killing ammunition are puzzling even those conservatives who have been taking vicarious pleasure in the slaughter of towelheads. Why does the Department of Homeland Security need enough ammunition to shoot every American 2.5 times? Why is Homeland Security equipping itself with full-body armor? Why is Homeland Security acquiring new laser technology that can instantly know everything about you from 164 feet away? A new army manual for Civil Disturbance Operations describes how the military is to be used domestically within the US to put down protests, confiscate firearms and kill citizens. The police state that is being constructed in freedom and democracy America is without parallel in history. When the only terrorists are dupes organized by the FBI, it is clear that the purpose of the police state is not to protect Americans from Muslim terrorists. The purpose of the police state is to terrorize US citizens. It is not only Homeland Security that is being militarized. The government reported that a large ammunition order was made by the National Weather Service, later updated to have been the Fisheries Office. If you are surprised at this, why has the Social Security Administration ordered174,000 rounds of hollow-point bullets? Lists of Homeland Securitys ammunition order are available online. Clearly, it is not ammunition for target practice. It is ammunition for killing people: hollow-point bullets for the military rifle, the M-16. Match grade bullets for .308 sniper rifles. 12 gauge shotgun buckshot and slug ammunition. Hollow-point bullets for .357 magnum and .40 caliber pistols. As there have been no terrorist attacks in the US since the 9/11 attack (itself suspect by experts), except for those organized by the FBI, this massive purchase of firepower is obviously not to protect Americans from Muslim terrorists. So what is it for? Perhaps this film explains what is in store for the American people who trusted their government. War protestors and critics of the government are being redefined as domestic extremists who can be arrested for aiding and abetting the enemies of the United States. If Americans wake up to the fact that they are being dispossessed economically, politically, and socially, while Washington is leading them into World War III, and take to the streets in protest, they will encounter extreme military force. The liberal-left is even more delusional than the flag-waving conservatives. No matter what the government does, conservatives will come down on the governments side. This is because conservatives confuse patriotism with support for the government, not with defense of the Constitution, a suspect document that coddles criminals, terrorists, and war protesters who cause America to lose wars. The liberal-left regards Obama with his half-black origin as a member of the oppressed class, personages endowed by the liberal-left with higher morality. The liberal-left continues to regard Obama as the redeemer even as Obama sits in the Oval Office approving lists of American citizens to be executed without due process of law. Not even Naomi Wolf can wake up the liberal-left. Do not expect Congress or the presstitutes to do anything about the rapid concentration of power in the police state that Bush and Obama have created. Do not expect to be rescued by federal courts. Even if some judges are inclined to defend the Constitution from its domestic enemy, the courts are powerless if the executive branch does not respect the rule of law. Currently, the executive branch is ignoring a federal judges injunction against the indefinite detention of US citizens. The Department of Justice (sic) lawyers will not even answer the judges questions. A gullible population is helpless if government decides to enslave the people. It is childs play for government to discredit a peoples natural leaders and those who provide the people with accurate information. Most Americans have a very small knowledge base and very large ideological preconceptions. Consequently, they cannot tell fiction from fact. Consider the case of Julian Assange. When the US government, angry that WikiLeaks had published leaked documents that revealed the mendacity and deceit of Washington, first struck out at Assange, support for Assange was almost universal. Then Washington put out the story on the Internet that Assange was an intelligence agent working for the CIA or the even more hateful Mossad. Both leftwing and rightwing Internet sites fell for the obvious lie. Here we have gullibility on the level with those who believed Stalins charge that Bukharin was a capitalist agent. Once the libel of Assange began, it over-rode his clearance by the Swedish prosecutors office of sexual complaints made by the two women who seduced him. Seeing Assange on the ropes, a female prosecutor reopened the closed case, many believe at Washingtons urging. Feminists jumped in, demanding that Assange be punished for his seduction by women as he had obviously tricked or coerced them in some way. It was like Dominique Strauss-Kahn all over again. Falsely accused of sexually assaulting a New York hotel maid, the Director of the International Monetary Fund, chased on two continents by celebrity-hunting women, was knocked out of the race for the French presidency and had to resign his IMF position. The New York police, trained by decades of feminist propaganda to regard every sex charge brought by a women as the absolute truth, were made to look foolish and incompetent when clear evidence emerged that the charge was fabricated in order to extract money from Strauss-Kahn and possibly in order to knock him out of contention for the French presidency. Many websites and normally reliable commentators were taken in by the false story. The Washington hegemons and their presstitute media have been even more successful in fooling Americans about terrorist attacks, Osama bin Laden, the Taliban, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, Syria, and Iran. What is astonishing is the fact that there have not been any attacks on America, despite the enormous provocations Washington has provided by murdering as many as one million Muslims, destroying three Muslim countries, conducting military operations against seven Muslim countries and preparing an attack on an eighth Iran. The President of Russia, whose thermo-nuclear ballistic missiles can remove the US from the face of the earth, stated for all the world to hear that Washington has the entire world in fear of its hegemonic drive. No one feels safe, said Putin. And certainly not the Russians with American missile bases on their borders and a Washington-funded disloyal and traitorous political opposition which serves as Washingtons fifth column inside Russia. America, Putin acknowledged, wants to rule the world. But Washington is not going to rule Russia and China. If the current White House moron keeps his promise to Israeli prime minister Netanyahu that the US will attack Iran next June if Iran does not close down its nuclear energy program (a non-weapons program permitted to Iran as a signatory of the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty), the White House will have opened the door to World War III. In such a war the US would not be immune from attack as it was in WW I and WW II. This time America could disappear in nuclear holocaust. If any of the world survives, people will be thankful for Washingtons removal from the scene. Death is what your government in Washington, both Republicans and Democrats, are bringing you. Both parties are driven by the neoconservatives who believe that American hegemony over the world is worth nuclear war to accomplish. If these dangerous ideologues continue to prevail, life on earth has a very short-run prospect.

2	Numbers Released For How Much Obama Is Paying To Send His Daughters To School President Barack Obama likes to pretend that he can relate to the struggles of the American people. He claims to advocate for those working hard to earn a paycheck. Meanwhile, his wife is wearing dresses that cost more than our mortgage payments, and Obama is spending what seems like every other weekend on the golf course. Now, the White House is once again responding to public outrage after the price of the first daughters schooling was leaked. According to Amazon, Obama spends at total of $75,500 (tax dollars) a year on Sasha and Malias high school education. If you take in to account the eight years the girls will spend in school together, were looking at $604,000and that is before either of the girls have obtained a college education. The breakdown of costs for the Sidwell Friends School is as follows: Lower School $37,750 (includes hot lunch and textbooks) Meanwhile, Americans everywhere continue to struggle to get by. This is disgusting, and its certainly not representative of a leader. What do you think? Do you want the Obamas out of the White House immediately?

Unfortunately, Welch's opinions will not be relevant for another three years and 11 months.

During the controversial speech, Michelle claimed that she was the focus of another set of questions and speculations because of her race. Coulter did not hold back in her comments, claiming that Michelle was letting out her Reverend Wright. She went on to say that Democratic policies have actually been detrimental to the black community, rather than beneficial. I think wevewere making it up nowwhen youre getting admitted to Princeton when you cant read, is that enough yet? Coulter commented. This nonsense about the peaceful protesters, Coulter continued, discussing Baltimore. No, I want a milk carton for: Has anyone seen a peaceful protester in Baltimore? As if work-a-day blacks are rushing out to protest Freddie Gray. No they arent. What do you think of Coulters comments? Are they justified or did she go overboard?

Unfortunately for OReilly, Le Batard was apparently sick of hearing of OReillys comments and decided to turn the conversation. Le Batard asked OReilly to discuss the moment in his career that caused the most nrest. Im not going to get into any of that stuff, OReilly replied.

After OReilly hung up, Le Batard continued on to play OReillys Do it live! outburst, during which he was caught on air insulting his production staff. What do you think of Le Batards joke? 
1	In what many BCS officials are citing as 'proof that their flawless system indeed works,' no Division 1-A college football team was found to possess the sheer excellence required to face Ohio State, the No. 1 ranked team since the season began, in this year's BCS Championship game. 'The main job of the BCS is to place the best football players in the nation in a single game in order to decide the national champion,' said BCS chairman Mike Coleman. 'This year, our computer took hours to process the polls' relevant databy which I mean the opinions of the nation's finest sportscasters, sports-radio hosts, coaches, color commentators, and ESPN The Magazine contributorsand determined that no championship game is necessary. No team in America deserves to even step on the same field as Ohio State, let alone actually play in a game against them.' 'It's good to know that, after the Harris and the USA Today polls carefully and painstakingly take care of the fallible, emotional, potentially biased human element of the ranking through old-fashioned voting, the BCS then takes that human element and subjects it to its own infallible rigid mathematical formulas,' Coleman continued. 'It's a confidence-inspiring system that has never failed us before.' 'Although I'll be the first to admit that previous years have usually featured some sort of game,' Coleman added. According to Coleman, the University of Florida's lackluster running game and one-loss season, USC's 'abominable' offense and two losses, and Michigan having already lost to Ohio State 42-39 seemed to be the determining factors in the BCS's decision. Coleman also said that Ohio State clearly being the most popular and exciting team in college football didn't hurt. However, Coleman insisted on adamantly stating for the record that the BCS is not a popularity contest. 'I think this year more than any other year proves that the BCS is working,' ESPN College GameDay anchor Lee Corso said during a live broadcast from Ohio State's campus. 'The system does an excellent job taking into consideration things that poll voters don't even think about: strength of schedule, whether or not the team won their conference, total distance the teams' fans are willing to travel for bowl games, average amount spent on souvenirs by alumni, and grade point average. After all those things, it's Ohio State, baby. And only Ohio State.' Corso then put on the costume head of Ohio State mascot Brutus Buckeye and was met with cheers from thousands of students. 'My guys were disappointed at first, but they eventually understood,' said Michigan coach Lloyd Carr. 'We had our chance against Ohio State and we blew it, and I guess a rematch would be boring. But can you blame us for thinking we had a chance? Sure, Troy Smith is easily the best player ever, and that defense, well, quite frankly, I'd be afraid for our guys' safety if we had to go up against that defense again, but our fans are rabidly single-minded and a lot of them have poll votes.' 'I wish Bo Schembechler had lived to see this,' Carr added. 'He had a vote in the poll, you know.' Florida Gators head coach Urban Meyer agreed with Carr, saying that even if his team had been offered a chance to play Ohio State, he may not have taken it. 'We don't deserve to play Ohio State. Period,' Meyer said, adding that though Florida had a tough schedule, being the SEC champion was not the same thing as being Ohio State. 'Every coach that I know voted for Ohio State in the coaches' poll, or at least had them second after their own team. In any case, I can certainly see why no one who votes in the BCS wants the national championship to be decided by a mere football game.' All coaches interviewed supported Meyer's claim, with the notable exception of Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis, who said that despite his team's two losses, weak schedule, and unremarkable defense, he still felt in his heart that Notre Dame deserved a chance at the titlea feeling that, according to a BCS official who wished to remain anonymous, was not completely overruled. 'First of all, I should note that although Notre Dame is an independent, and a highly regarded independent at that, it does not have its own special set of rules as far as determining its football team's rankings,' the official said. 'Instead, we use a special set of mathematical algorithms to determine its football team's rankings, which the BCS specifically determines only after ranking all the other teams. And though I shouldn't say this, weer, the computerwould have dearly loved to have seen Notre Dame in the championship.' The Fox network has announced that in place of the game on January 8, it will broadcast four hours of Buckeye players working out in preparation for the 2007 NFL draft.

2	SHOCKING: 8 States Just Banned Atheists From Doing This Thing According to the U.S. Constitution, religious tests cant be required to hold public office. However, according to recent reports from Fox News, it appears that eight of our states are doing just do that. According to Fox, provisions barring atheists from holding public office are actually written into the constitutions of those states. However, the law is virtually unenforceable. That stems from a 1961 Supreme Court decision, which involved a Maryland man who was appointed as notary public. The justices ruled that the man did not have to declare his belief in God to be eligible for the office, as going so would violate his rights. The case made enforcement of the provisions illegal, but did not require removing them altogether. The rule remains in Arkansas, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Obviously, some atheists are not happy about the laws remaining on the books. According to Dave Muscato, a spokesman for American Atheists, it is only fair and right that the Supreme Court declared the provisions illegal. He went on to call them blatantly discriminatory, immoral, and un-American. What do you think? Are the laws justified? 
3	15 Ways to Detect a False Flag OperationBy Makia Freeman Some have real victims, some do not, but either way, the most criminal of all institutions the Government is the orchestrating force behind them. They are scripted, pre-planned operations whichare definitely not the result of random gun violence. Just as Obama stated (by hiding the truth in plain sight),there is a pattern behind these mass shootings.The Controllers are following a definite false flag formula. Below is a list of the top 15 elements of this formula, which you can now use to detect a false flag operation as it occurs: The exercise or drill at the same time, at the same place has became the sine qua non or indispensable element of the recent false flag operation. Sometimes there are slight variations on this when the Government plans a drill nearby (a few miles away) rather than at the exact place, or plans a drill earlier on in the day, so it can just coincidentally go live. There was a twist in the case of the recent San Bernardino shooting: the Government planned regular drills in the building where the shooting took place every month! (Think about it what are the chances of a real mass shooting occurring in a building used for mass shooting drills?) AsCaptain Eric H. May, a former US Army military intelligence officer, stated: The easiest way to carry out afalse flagattack is by setting up a military exercise that simulates the very attack you want to carry out. In the case of 9/11, there were no less than 46 drills occurring simultaneously during the event, according to Webster Tarpley, author of Synthetic Terror: Made in USA. In the case of the London 7/7 bombings, Peter Poweradmitted on radio that he was leading a team who were training for that exact scenario whenit unfolded! There were active shooter drills in all of the false flag attacks of Sandy Hook, Boston Marathon, Charleston, San Bernardino, the Norway attack, the 2nd Paris attack of 2015 and many many more. Whats the point of having a drill at the same time and place? Here are a few of its purposes: Another way you cantell that a mass shooting is a false flag op is if you find proof offoreknowledge of the event. As it so happens, all of the notorious and publicized mass attacks of late have had evidence of foreknowledge. Going way back in time, there was foreknowledge of the Pearl Harbor attack of 1941 that got the US into World War 2. There were many aspects of foreknowledge on 9/11, including the BBC reporting WTC7 falling before it actually did, and mysterious calls to people like author Salman Rushdie and San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown advising them not to fly to NYC on Sept. 11th. Sandy Hook had blatantforeknowledge (with various webpages put up days before the event), as did the Boston Marathon. You can also spot alikely false flag operation when you see or hear of multiple conflicting witness accounts. In the case of the Aurora Colorado Batman mass shooting, eyewitnessesclaimed they saw an entire team of shooters, rather than the single shooter James Holmes of the official narrative. With Sandy Hook, we saw multiple scenes oflaw enforcement chasing men into the surrounding forest, yet the official narrative declares the only shooter was Adam Lanza. In San Bernardino, too, witnesses stated they saw 3 white athletic men, not the 2 brown husband-and-wife team we were told did the shooting. Conflicting eyewitness accountscan destroy the official narrative no matter what the detail is. On 9/11, various fireman told us there were bombs in the building, contradicting the official story that planes alone took down the Twin Towers. With Sandy Hook, Gene Rosens testimony itself was full of holes and was contradicted bythat of the school bus driver and the official report. Haveyou ever wondered how quickly the MSM (Mainstream Media) discovers the name of the patsy? They had somehow deduced that Osama bin Laden was responsible for 9/11 just hours after the attacks. Haveyou ever wondered why the Government is so good at telling us who supposedly executed these attacks right after they happen, with almost no time to investigate, yet cant seem to manage to actually stop these allegedterror attacks? Without any evidence, the MSM endlessly repeated bin Laden like a crazy mantra after 9/11, despite the fact bin Laden himself denied involvement in the attacks and that in the end hewas never formally charged by the FBI.Haveyou ever wondered why manyof the patsies, or sorry, derangedmass shooters, areMuslim? That wouldnt have anything to do with the fact that the Zionist Government and MSM are trying to paint all Muslims as crazy and scary, would it? Nothing like a good dose of Islamophobia to take your freedom away Another elementof the false flag formula is the skilled and lethal patsy. According to the official narrative of false flag ops like Sandy Hook and Aurora, we are supposed to believe that skinny and non-muscular youths, without any discernible military training, were able to acquire expensive military gear (including armor, guns, ammunition and more), wear that gear without getting bogged down in speed, and shoot incredibly fast and accurately. In San Bernardino, we are supposed to believe that a young mother was strong and skilled enough to participate in killing 14 and injuring 17 people while she was strapped up with body armor and holding heavy weaponry! In these cases and more, the official story would have you believe that its no big deal or just a coincidence that the patsy can acquire all this high-end gear and use it so well. In this day and age, writing a manifesto is a strange and anachronistic thing to do. Yet, for some strange reason, shooters manifestosseem to crop up an awful lot after mass shootings. Conveniently for the Controllers, these manifestos provide a perfect explanation for the official narrative, and help fill in the missing (non-existent) motive for the attack which probably pushes those on the fence over into believing the Governments version of the event. While the manifesto is not an element in every false flag operation, it is present in enough of them to be regarded as part of the false flag formula. Another element of the false flag formula is the deliberate destruction of evidence, so that the Controllers can cover their tracks. In 9/11, the scrap metal (in the smoldering ruins of the WTC towers) was immediately shipped off to China right from the start; with Sandy Hook, the entire school was demolished; in San Bernardino, the supposed landlord of the supposed shooters actually allowed MSM reporters into the suspects house to poke around and touch all their stuff, in complete disregard for what could be a possible crime scene! Could it get any more blatant? Have you ever wondered why there is no obvious motive in any of these mass shootings? Crimes are supposed to be solved on the merit of motive and opportunity, yet to hide the reality of a false flag op, the MSM just lies about the motive part, and chalks it up to a deranged shooter. Other times we are offered the flimsiest of motives, such as people going on an all-out rampage because they had a grievance with a co-worker. In San Bernardino, we were toldthe young mother, with a 1-year-old child, was aggressive and psychotic enough to help kill 14 and injure 17 peopleat the risk of never seeing her child again! Meanwhile, the real purveyors of these operationsprofit immensely from the ensuing fear, yet somehow the majority of people dont seem to see that motive Gun control is obviously one of the key agendas behind all of these false flag mass shootings, since a disarmed population is far easier to exploit and manipulate than an armed one. It is an obviousaspect of the false flag formula. Sometimes gun control is even pushed in the immediate aftermath of the event when people are still in a highly emotional and suggestible state. Take a look at the behavior of Andy Parker, who we were told was the father of a victim killed in the Virginia mass shooting of 2015. Within hours of hearing the news of the death of his child, Parkerhad already contacted and talked with the Governor of Virginia, and then appeared on TVsaying hewouldbe devoting his entire life to gun control. In a similar fashion, Richard Martinez, the alleged father of a Santa Barbara mass hooting victim,appeared on TV right after the deathangrily pleading for more gun control. In both cases, the political agenda of gun control angrily dominated their reactions, rather than grief or other emotions. The above 10 points are a useful outline of the false flag formula as it pertains to mass shootings with real victims, i.e. where real people die. However, ever since the surreal Sandy Hook event, which still contains many unanswered questions, we have entered the twilight zone of the false flag hoax. This is a term used to describe the false flag massattacks where no one dies where fake bodies, fake blood and fake victims are used instead. In this way, the entire operation is more tightly controlled and less messy. A hallmark of the false flag hoax is thatthe authorities never produce a credible piece of evidence showing an actual dead body of a victim. The following 5 points relate to false flag hoaxes, and specifically to the people employed to pull them off crisis actors. It is truly a testament to just how utterly fake our normal world is (the Matrix) that false flag ops have now descended to the level where we have to question whether the event even happened at all.There are organizations of crisis actors in the US (such as the IIF), and there is clear evidence crisis actors were used at Sandy Hook, Boston Marathon and many others. Government officials have been caught using the word actor to describe various players in these dramas; the MSM has even resorted to calling them actors too (it was one of the buzzwords of the recent San Bernardino mass shooting). The surreal quality of the false flag hoax reached point of absurdity when it was discoveredthat one of the victims was reportedly killed twice! We were told thatNoah Pozner was one of the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting, yet his picture was also among those killed in a Pakistan Taliban attack. Apparently the recycling of fake victims is another part of the false flag formula. Is it just a coincidence that the families of mass shooting victims have either elite or acting backgrounds? At the Sandy Hook event, local CEO of the Newtown bankJohn Trentacosta(whose house was next to the Lanzas and hada lot of unusual activity occurring there the day of Sandy Hook) was connected to theNew York Federal Reserve (and thus the international banking elite).Francine Wheeler was formerly the personal assistant of formerchief Democratic National Committee fundraiser Maureen White whose husband Steven Rattner is aWall Street investment banker and member of the Rockefeller CFR (Council on Foreign Relations)! It was also noteworthy at Sandy Hook how acting showed up in the resumes of so many of the key players there.Gene Rosen, David and Francine Wheeler (both professional actors)and others all had a background in acting. Father of Virginia mass shooting victim Andy Parker is an actor (and a politician too).This fact supports the idea that another element of the false flag formula is to watch for people with elite connections and acting backgrounds. Luckily for truth seekers, the majority of crisis actors used in these false flag events are poor actors who are utterly unconvincing in the roles they play.The majoritydisplaylittle or no emotion after an alleged tragedy like losing a family member child to a random and violent mass shooting. It is true thathumans do vary widely with emotional response and expression. However,with many of the crisis actors, judging by their reactions,it simplystrains credibility too much to believe that they havejust have been through a harrowing and traumatic ordeal. Given the range of possible reactions to a tragedy like losing a loved one in a mass shooting, what are the chancesthat many of the victims family members are so non-emotional, or so understanding, or soquick to forgive? Itsshameful enough that the crisis actors playing these roles are perpetrating amonumental deception on the public, tugging at the average persons heartstrings solely to trick them. However, on top of that, these actors have the gall to actually laugh to smile, snigger and giggle while pulling off their atrocious stunts. The only conclusion to draw from this is that it must bepretty funnyto get apaid gig like this fooling millions of people In the US, the land of the lawsuit, people are generally prettyfast to initiate a lawsuit if they feel they have been wronged. It is highly strange, therefore, that none of the alleged parents of the Sandy Hook event decided to sue the Government for negligence or to demand redress for any other grievance.Additionally, many of the alleged parents received a total of millions inunsolicitedfederal payouts (check out the free houses they magically got on Christmas day 2009) thats right, unsolicited. The Federal Government just gave it over to them without asking! Ask yourself: is is more likely the Government would just do this out of the goodness of its heart, or that the money was more like a bribe/blackmail/payout all rolled into one, awarded to actors playing a part in a role and being sworn to silence? These are 15 elementsI noticed forming the false flag formula. There may well be more. Please let us know your thoughts in the comments below. Meanwhile, use the knowledge you have of the false flag formula to become more aware, wise and hip to the deception, so that the next time it unfolds (as it surely will), you will be among those that spot the fakery, rather than among those who are too scared, shell-shocked and gullible to do anything other than buy the official narrative.

1	Explaining that she had needed a few months to herself to get back to the right emotional place, local woman Laura Berman told reporters Monday she finally felt ready to start receiving completely unsolicited and extremely vulgar messages again. It was really important to have some time to regroup, but now I think Im ready to put myself out there again, said Berman, who stated that, after careful consideration, she has decided to open herself back up to a relentless barrage of sexually explicit and unwelcome emails and texts from strangers. Call me old-fashioned, but Im glad I waited until I was mentally prepared to start [opening crude and offensive messages from men who Ive only spoken to briefly, if at all, that make me feel incredibly uncomfortable, and then after Ive politely asked them to stop, being bombarded with obscene insults and sometimes violent threats that make me terrified to even look at my phone]. I think its time. At press time, Berman reportedly expressed surprise at how easy it was to get back in the swing of things after opening three consecutive messages containing photos of various unknown mens genitals.

His claim is in response to the massive influx of unaccompanied minors crossing the border in hopes of being granted amnesty. Abbott is worried about the effect that this will have on the Texas School districts. To make matters worse, the government has provided no answers as to what to do with the 60,000 illegal children now living in Texas. What do you think? Should Texas take action? 
3	Snowden, NSA, blackmail, and the boys in the back roomJon Rappoport That includes a major, major, prime target: Congress. So imagine this conversation taking place, in a car, on a lonely road outside Washington, late at night. The speakers are Congressman X and a private operative representing a covert unit inside the NSA: Well, Congressman, do you remember January 6th? A Monday afternoon, a mens room in the park off What the hell are you talking about! A stall in the mens room. The kid. He was wearing white high-tops. A Skins cap. T-shirt. Dark hair. Scar across his left cheek. Jesus. We have very good audio and video. Anytime you want to watch it, let me know. Dead silence. What do you want? Right now, Congressman? We want you to come down hard on Snowden. Press it. Hes a traitor. He should tried and convicted. The Congressmen pulls himself together: Yeah, well, theres another side to this story. If Snowden gets enough support, if the wave rises high enough, the NSA could take a hit. I know a dozen Washington players whod like that very much. Theyre pissed off. They dont like to be spied on. Its possible Snowden was their guy from the beginning. I couldnt say Senator, we know about the underage cheerleader in Ohio. Your trip there in 2012, just before the election. Look, youve brought this up before. But now Ive got a trump card to play. Ed Snowden. This whole scandal can escalate like a tornado in Kansas, or it can die down Lets make a deal. If you want to see this starkly played out in a fictional series, watch Netflixs House of Cards. For House Majority Whip, Frank Underwood, substitute the NSA. Track what happens to Congressman Peter Russo, and you have a rough approximation. Heres another vector. A Congressman gets a visit from his favorite lobbyist, who works for a private defense contractor in the Congressmans home state: Congressman, heres the thing. The NSA is an integral part of our nations defense system. Right? This Snowden thing is messy. We want it to go away. It may not go away. Im not some kind of traffic cop who can put up his hand and stop the tide. We understand that. I was just talking to XXX at NSA, and hed really appreciate your help on this. Slam this bastard Snowden. Make him into the worst scumbag in the world. And if I do? Your offshore account in Panama will remain protected. Thats what XXX wanted me to tell you. Calling in markers. Putting on pressure. Lets make a deal. If youre a Congressman or a Senator, and you know NSA is spying on you, because its spying on everyone in the Congress, whos your potential best friend? Somebody who can go up against the NSA. And who might that be? The CIA. Its not perfect, but its the best you can do. For years, the CIA has been watching the transformation of intelligence-gathering. The CIA has been participating in that transformation: from humans using sources to obtain crucial data, to computers doing blanket-spying. Thats the trend. Its inescapable. The big problem for the CIA is: their specialty is human intel. And when they go to computers, theyre second rate, behind the massive NSA machine. Federal budget money for spying has been flowing in greater amounts to NSA and away from CIA. This is one of the key elements of the turf war between CIA and NSA. So if youre a Congressman, you go to a friend in the CIA and you have a chat about the NSA problem. How can you get NSA off your back? Your CIA friend has his own concerns about NSA. He tells you in confidence: Look, maybe we can help you. We know a lot about the NSA. We have good people. You might say one of our jobs is watching the watchers at NSA, to, uh, make sure they dont go too far in their spying. This sounds interesting. If you have to sell your soul, youd rather sell it to the CIA than the NSA. Its a judgment call. And nowyou read about Ed Snowden blowing a hole in the NSA. You take note of the fact that Snowden worked for the CIA. He worked for them in Geneva. Then he left for the private sector and got himself assigned to the NSA. Hmm. Maybe you have some cause for optimism. You, the Congressman, dont give a damn about the NSA spying on all Americans all the time. You couldnt care less about that. You just dont want NSA looking over your own shoulder. You know the incredibly nave American public would never imagine whats going on behind the scenes, with CIA, NSA, and Congress. The yokels and rubes in America actually believe their Congressional representatives are, well, representing them in Washington. This fact is good. It means privacy for you: you can try to work out your problems without public scrutiny. You can play all the necessary games to hide your own secrets and crimes, and you can do it in back rooms. Unless those bastards at NSA decide to leak one of your embarrassing secrets. Thats why you need your friend at CIA. And now, again, you look at the recent article and see that Ed Snowden worked for the CIA. You hope he still is. You hope this is a signal from the CIA that theyre taking a battering ram to the NSA. Some schmuck reporter asks you about the current NSA scandal and you say, Of course we have to protect classified data, in order to prevent terrorist attacks. But at the same time, we need to respect the Bill of Rights. People cant go around spying on anyone for no reason. Youre sending your own signal. Youre tipping your CIA guy. You appreciate his help, if in fact hes helping you. You cant ask him directly. If you did, hed never give you a straight answer. But just in case As for the nave rubes in your home state, the voters, you dont give them a second thought. Theyre not on your radar. Theyre merely clusters of polling data, and youll look at the data when election comes around again. They dont have a clue about how the game is played, and they never will. Youre representing two defense contractors, a pharmaceutical company, a big AG corporation, and a bank. Those are your only true constituents. You give them all the time they need. To keep those relationships on track, you only need to hide your peccadillos from embarrassing exposure. The hooker in DC, the bank account in Panama, the influence you used to move a sizable donation to a university where you intend to teach when you retire. There are only two things you really need to think about in your job. First, what happens when your Party leaders come down the hall and tell you which way youre going to vote on a billand you know your vote is going to upset one of your key constituents back home. Thats a tricky situation. But youve been successful in keeping feathers from being ruffled. That pharmaceutical company understands you cant side with their interests every single time. Youve got to go with your Party. The Pharma boys dont like it, but they get it. The other thing youve got to think about is darker. Nobody is going to give you stats on it, because stats dont exist. Heres how it shakes out: How many people in Congress are so controlled by the NSA that theyd never try to break out? How many people, with how many secrets, are so blackmailed, theyd never dare go up against NSA? This is an important calculation. The battle might already be lost. You might not stand a chance. Maybe nobody can help you. Maybe you cant escape. Maybe you shouldnt even hint that NSA has overstepped its legal boundaries by spying on Americans. Thats the conundrum that keeps you up at night. What if the spies spying on their own government are running the government beyond the ability of anyone to stop them? You dont give a damn about what this would mean for America. You only care about what it means for you and your secrets. Maybe this is the jail youre in for the rest of your life. When youre back in your home state showing your face and giving speeches, and a voter comes up to you and voices a concern about his dwindling paycheck, his house payment, his endangered pensionand when you nod and gaze out at the horizon, as as if to pluck a magic answer from the aether, youre really thinking about the conundrum. Youre thinking about the life sentence youre serving in the Surveillance State. And that night, in your hotel room, you get down on your knees and pray that Ed Snowden is still working for the CIA.

2	BREAKING: Quadruple Amputee Vet Commits Suicide After VA Ignores Him... Media Silent Unfortunately, we have another tragic story about the VA that shows the poor quality of care our veterans have been receiving through the administration. One woman, named Danielle Morris, shared this tragic story on her Facebook page: Todd Nicely was the 2nd of 5 quadruple amputees resulting from Iraq and Afghanistan wars. He came and visited Taylor in the hospital on the first day Taylor was able to get out of his hospital bed. By him visiting and showing us the light at the end of the tunnel was huge. It gave us perspective and something to fight for. Last Friday, we received the heartbreaking news that Todd shot himself in the chest. He survived. I say this bluntly because we NEED to bring awareness to this topic. People should feel comfortable and sage asking for help and there should be an army of people ready to help. The same way Todd was there for us. Please keep Todd and his family in your prayers during his trying time. On average 22 vets commit suicide everyday. Thats not just a number or statistic. Those are people with family and friends that are affected. We need to change this! Morris is right. According to the VAs inspector general, over 300,000 veterans have died before their applications were even processed. The VA was also caught claiming that certain applications have been processed, or even destroying records. What do you think of these reports? 
2	What This TV Network Did Has Their Muslim Employees Outraged Recently, the British Broadcasting Channel (BBC) held a hog roast on Friday to kick off the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. The event was held just days after the end of Ramadan, and British Muslims, of course, had something to say about it. Although some say that BBC should have been more conscious, and not so blatantly roasted a hognot to mention, they did so in front of the Arabic TV service. Lets just say that the Muslim television network was less than pleased when the smell of roasted pig. One Iranian journalist even wrote, Horror in my lunch break at BBC New Broadcasting House. England has a large and vocal Muslim population, and while the country for the post part is respectful of Islamic customs, they are still careful not to limit their own freedoms. What do you think? Was this wrong of BBC, or just hilarious? 
1	Following a recent spate of fan campaigns to revive canceled television series through the crowd-funding website Kickstarter, the cast of the short-lived NBC sitcom Animal Practice told reporters Monday they live in constant fear that fans of the show will raise enough money to turn it into a movie. To all the viewers who supported our show on NBC and would love to see the next chapter of Animal Practice played out on the big screen, I can only say from the bottom of my heart: Please dont ever do this, lead actor Justin Kirk said in a direct plea to fans, noting that the nine-episode sitcom about a misanthropic veterinarian was terrible and that any campaign to revive it would make him and other cast members deeply upset. I'll say it right here: Being a part of this show was a pretty bad career move and one that Im trying to move past. Honestly, I would have to say that anyone who is a fan of the show has bad taste and I dont really have any respect for them. Sorry, but I dont. At press time, sources confirmed that Microsoft founder Bill Gates had donated $20 million to the new Kickstarter campaign Animal Practice Movie Project with the accompanying note, Mark my words, this movie will be made. 
1	The best years in the life of Frederick Videkveteran, husband, and father of fiveare never going to happen, the 51-year-old broken man realized Monday. Frederick Videk, who has finally stopped waiting. 'Well, I guess that's that,' said Videk, sitting in his pickup waiting for the light to change, the realization finally smacking him full in the face. 'This is itit's not going to get any better. In fact, it's probably just going to be a gradual but steady decline from here on.' Videk, who for years had waited for something to bring him satisfaction, then pulled over to the side of the road and watched cars pass by for an hour and a half. By the time he returned to the split-level ranch home he purchased at a high mortgage rate in 1979 and has yet to pay off, his wife was angry with him, his favorite TV show was over, and his cold dinner had been given to the family dog. 'I guess I always just figured the really good years were right around the corner,' Videk said. 'What a pantload. I remember in high school, thinking that as soon as I got a car, the best years were really gonna kick in. I'd be able to go anywhere, get girls, maybe get laid, and people would think I was cool. Then, when I finally got a car, it was such a shitheap, I figured that once I got a better car, then everything would be fine. Well, you know what? I've owned 11 cars in my life, and I thought the same exact thing about each one of the fuckers. Not one in the succession of cars I've bought since I was 16 has ever done anything for me but drag my sorry ass to and from work every goddamn day of my life. That's it.' Shortly after returning home, Videk, feeling himself inexorably drawn into a vortex of despair, made his way to the upstairs bathroom, where, despite having no need to use the facilities, he sat on the toilet for approximately 20 minutes to avoid all human contact. The last seven of those 20 minutes were spent trying to ignore the pounding and whining of his teenage daughter Robyn, who pleaded with him to unlock the door so she could 'get [her] face on.' Videk eventually relocated to the garage, where he stood next to his workbench and made patterns in the floor dust with his foot. While doing so, he pondered the fact that achieving his goal of getting laid merely resulted in the birth of another human being who wanted to get laid, too. 'I know Robyn thinks that if she gets one of the boys at school interested in her, she'll be popular, and that the best years of her life will begin,' Videk said. 'Little does she know she's just perpetuating an endless string of DNA replication that isn't going anywhere.' After nearly an hour in the garage, Videk walked to his driveway and stared at a rake lying on its side on the front lawn. 'After I graduated high school in '68, I joined the Navy. I thought the best years of my life would finally arrive because I'd get out of this boring hellhole of a state,' Videk said. 'I now see that the feeling was oddly similar to the one I had in '72, right before I finished my first tour in the Navy, and all I wanted to do was get back to North Dakota where things were so much better. Why couldn't I see it at the time?' Over the course of Videk's life, each time he reached a milestone, he believed that his best years were about to begin. Among these life events were losing his virginity, getting married, fathering his first through fifth child, having his children move out, buying a better house, and getting his overbite fixed. None of these events, however, made the slightest impact on his overall happiness. Compounding Videk's misery were depressing thoughts about the many things he has never gotten around to doing, including playing harmonica in a blues-rock band, breaking a 250 score in bowling, traveling to the ancient pyramids of Egypt, and learning to play harmonica in the first place. 'It's like you're thinking, 'The world's my oyster and anything is possible,'' Videk said. ''As soon as this next immediate obstacle to happiness is cleared, I'll be able to do anything I want.' Then the goals become less and less realistic as you pass 35, and you start to set more modest goals for the best years of your life, like making shift supervisor at the goddamn screen-door factory where you work. Eventually, even these pathetically scaled-down fantasies prove unworkable, since some asshole named Glenn Harrigan has seniority at the plant and obviously isn't going anywhere. Suddenly, you're 51, and at long last, you figure out that whatever it is you're hypothetically still waiting for, it's pretty much irrelevant. Then you go to bed and have to work at the screen-door factory for another nine hours the next day, and that's pretty much that.' 'I guess I should stop thinking about life as something that even involves the term 'best years of my life,'' Videk told the rearview mirror of his car while parked behind a local Wendy's, eating a burger, Biggie fries, and Biggie Frosty. 'I guess a more appropriate term would be something like 'least intolerable meals at fast-food drive-thrus of my life,' or something along those lines.' Still in relatively good health for a man his age, Videk then girded himself for the remaining 20 to 30 years before he dies. 
2	Sarah Palin Makes A HUGE Announcement... Lets All Vote Palin 2016 This week, Sarah Palin announced that she is considering a running in the presidential election in 2016. Yeah, I mean, of course, Palin replied when asked if she was thinking about a presidential run. When you have a servants heart, when you know that there is opportunity to do all you can to put yourself forward in the name of offering service, anybody would be interested. It doesnt necessarily have to be me, though but not, America is definitely ready for real change, Palin continued. It doesnt have to be myself, but yeshappy to drive that competition, because competition will make everyone better and produce more and be more candid regarding their solutions they will offer this country. I am very interested in that competitive process and, again, not necessarily me, Palin concluded. What do you think? Does it sound like Palin has intentions to run? Would you vote for her? 
2	China Forces Muslim Leaders To Dance Publicly And Swear They Can Not Teach Shariah Law To Children China is taking a stand against Islam and Shariah lawand its anything but subtle. According to the Conservative Post, government officials in the Xinjiang region of China just rounded up imams and required them to perform a choreographed dance routine, signifying a promise to abandon Shariah law. They were also required to express their loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party, rather than Allah. Chinas message is loud and clear: either you assimilate to Chinese culture, or you will face consequences. This is what is happening in the world while America is being criticized for not being politically correct enough. 
1	Citing such factors as overexpansion, player safety, and behavioral issues, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban told reporters Wednesday that the NFL is in severe danger of waning in popularity over the next 1,000 years. The NFL is at its peak in terms of popularity right now, but theyre getting a little too greedy, and theyll start losing fans in the next three or four centuries, said Cuban, adding that if officials and team owners arent careful the NFL could fall to the second or third most popular sports league as early as 3014. Weve seen it with baseball; weve seen it with hockey; weve seen it with Roman chariot racing in 700 B.C. The NFL is going down the same path with all these new TV deals. It might not happen overnight, but people will turn on the sport before the millennium is out, I can guarantee you that. Cuban added that in contrast to the NFLs increasing saturation of the market, the NBA can return to the pinnacle of American sports by only playing 82 games in a six-month regular season. 
2	Muslims Cry Racism After They Are Banned From Doing THIS Lets picture this: you walk into a public restroom to wash your hands before eating a meal. When you get to the sink, you notice that the person next to you is using the next sink to wash their feet. Lose your appetite a little? We would too. Still, a group of Muslims are furious after an office worker placed a sign in a mens bathroom asking workers to refrain from washing their feet in the public sink before prayer. The sign showed a man washing his foot with a slash through it. The sign was posted just days after an officer worker complained to a Muslim employee about using the convenience store sink to wash up. Mohammad Faisal feels that he is more than justified in using the sink to meet his needs. He works 20 hours a week, in shifts ranging from 10 AM to 4 PM. While on shift, he is required to perform two of the five daily required prayers for Islam. The prayer requires that he wash his hands, mouth, head, neck, arms, and feet in the bathroom sink. Its about being respectful to my religion, Faisal told reporters. After claims of racism, the company made the decision to take down the sign. What do you think? Was the company completely justified in their requests? 
1	SOUTH AMERICA?Following what must have been a successful on-field achievement Sunday, a professional, semi-professional, or possibly amateur male soccer player wearing a sky-blue shirt appeared happy, sources confirmed. According to reports, fans in attendance adorned with similarly blue-colored clothing, flags, and face paint were also happy, while players wearing red shirts hung their heads because they were sad. Along the sidelines, a group of people in yellow shirts remained neither happy nor sad but mostly seemed indifferent, and as of press time, no players on the field were wearing pink or purple shirts. 
1	Left staggered and dumbfounded by the unexpected line of inquiry, real estate agent Jeffrey Tindell told reporters Monday he was totally unprepared for a potential buyers hard-hitting questions about the water pressure in a local three-bedroom townhouse recently listed for sale. The showing seemed to be going pretty well, but then, out of nowhere, this guy starts grilling me on all this stuff about whether the water pressure is lower upstairs than it is downstairshe just completely blindsided me, said a visibly exasperated Tindell, recounting how his feet were held to the fire with questions about whether the previous resident had been happy with the pressure and whether the showerhead would likely need to be replaced. I tried to change the subject and bring his attention back to the newly installed Berber carpeting, but he just wouldnt let up. By the time he hit me with that question about whether the pressure in the shower is still good when the dishwasher is running, I knew I was in way, way over my head. Tindell added that he was still reeling at the mere thought of the prospective buyer actually following through on his promise to send a few follow-up questions about the washer-dryer hookups. 
2	FBI Stops ISIS Terrorists From Attacking U.S. Military Base In Illinois The FBI is constantly monitoring over 1,000 ISIS suspects in the U.S. using 24/7 surveillance. All of this monitoring paid off when they caught Jonas M. Edmonds plotting to attack a U.S. Army National Guard base in Illinois. The plan was to have his cousin, Hasan Edmonds, who is in the Army National Guard, get him a military uniform to use during his attack. Hasan and Jonas have been charged for providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization. This is clearly one strategy to handle ISIS. But the FBI cant be everywhere at once. Obama needs to get his head out of the sand and help find a permanent solution. Do you support the 24/7 surveillance of all ISIS suspects? 
1	Appreciating the onset of listlessness and despondency, local woman Wendy Fletcher confirmed Tuesday that seasonal depression kicked in just in time to render her emotionally numb before spending Christmas with her family. When my parents picked me up at the airport and started questioning me about my personal life, I was already completely disengaged with the world around me, so the timing was perfect, said Fletcher, adding that the seasonal affective disorder was going strong enough that she should be able to spend the next four days in a state of emotional detachment, dulled to the words and actions of relatives. Last year, seasonal depression didnt do a number on me until January, so I went through the entire holiday season as an active participant, taking on the full emotional brunt of dealing with family members. Thankfully, that cold snap last week really put me in a funk, and now I should be able to just sleep through most of my visit. Fletcher added that, with any luck, her emotional paralysis would last long enough this year to get her through another Valentines Day alone. 
3	Government Cancels Demolition of HAARP Research Location, Switches Ownership InsteadA controversial government program scheduled for demolition was saved just days before bulldozers were ordered to move in, and instead will be acquired by the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The US Air Forces High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) will transfer its 200 Million dollar facility over to the University within the month. Its a transfer, and next month the facilities and equipment will formally transfer from the military to the university. And then we have two years to work with the Air Force to come to an agreement to transfer land, says UAF spokeswoman Marmion Grimes. Bob McCoy, head of the UAFs Geophysical Institute, was instrumental in convincing the Air Force to hand HAARP to the university. Grimes says scientists rallied to put pressure on the Air Force to scrap the demolition plan. The governments invested about $290 million, federal dollars. In the last decade or so, the Navy, the Air Force and DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) all chipped in forty of fifty million each, and they expanded it and increased the power and made improvements. So it really is exquisite. Its a good catch for the state of Alaska and the university in Fairbanks to get this excellent facility. And both the chancellor and the president both saw that, and were eager to have this added it to our portfolio here. The university system is loaning the UAF two million dollars to bring the device back to operational standards and a plan is already in place to pay back the loan. The government program has been shrouded in conspiracy and has been accused of being able to control weather patterns, cause earthquakes, block communications around the planet and even induce mind control on a global scale. Bob McCoy says HAARP turns the ionosphere into a laboratory. Theres a lot of science that can be done. The Navy, in the past, has been interested in using the ionosphere like an antenna, to generate extremely low frequency waves to communicate with submarines. And even things like creating simulation in the ionosphere to modulate radio waves, theres a whole bunch of applications, that I think, the ionosphere, at least thirty kilometers of it, becomes a laboratory, and for a few minutes you can actually do experiments and see what happens.

1	Libertarian Party officials announced Monday that their 2000 National Convention will be held August 1820 in an efficiency apartment just off La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles. A worker makes preparations for the upcoming 2000 Libertarian Convention. 'As one of the nation's largest cities, Los Angeles provides an ideal stage for us to spread our message of personal and economic self-governance,' said Libertarian national director Steve Dasbach, explaining his party's choice of venue at a kitchenette press conference. 'Also, it was [Libertarian Party national chairman] David [Bergland]'s turn to host, since it was held at my place in '96.' The convention is expected to be the largest in party history, drawing upwards of 45 Libertarians to the second-floor apartment in the Mulholland Terrace complex. In preparation for the event, 15 extra folding chairs have been ordered by party leaders, as well as 12 two-liter bottles of Pepsi, Sprite, and Diet Mountain Dew. 'It is our belief that government's role is simply to defend the citizen from coercion and violence, and nothing more,' said Libertarian presidential candidate Harry Browne, hanging a 'Browne-Olivier 2000' banner above the efficiency's futon. 'That means military service should be voluntary, the minimum wage should be eliminated, and taxes should be replaced with user fees for services.' Added Browne: 'Feel free to take our two-minute quiz to find out if you're a Libertarian and don't even know it.' 'We hold that all individuals have the right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal rights of others,' said Dasbach, wearing a 'Repeal All Sex Laws' button on his lapel. 'This August, that ideal will pass from Apartment 12B to the world.' With one month to go before the convention, the Libertarian platform is set. The party will demand an end to government subsidies for businesses and farms, the elimination of patrols at U.S. borders, and the decriminalization of crack cocaine. Party members also support the making of traffic signals 'recommended but not mandatory,' as well as a plan to move America's heavy industry to platforms in low Earth orbit by 2007. The Ohio and Vermont delegations rally during the 1996 Libertarian Convention. Despite such philosophical unity, some decisions still need to be made before the convention. Seating arrangements are in flux as organizers await word of the pro-LSD lobby's attendance, as well as that of the Illinois delegation's wife. Pizza toppings also remain up in the air, with a key bloc of five Southern delegates favoring pepperoni over the more popular mushroom-and-green-pepper for the planned six extra-large pies. 'The number of topics and speakers on our agenda was the reason we couldn't hold the convention at the Ventura Boulevard Denny's as originally planned,' said Holly Pfizer, convention co-chair and one of the nation's leading advocates of the privatization of police. 'Plus, they add a 15 percent gratuity for parties of eight or more, and that would have severely depleted our campaign war chest.' A portion of the money saved by not holding the convention at Denny's will go toward the featured entertainment, a live performance by singer Don Henley that was recorded in 1998 and will be played on the apartment's stereo. 'Whenever you have this many Libertarians in one place, there's going to be some disagreement,' said author and gun-control opponent William McPeters, who will deliver a speech titled, 'Why I Abandoned The GOP, And How America's Drug-Legalization Activists Can Profit From The Coming Economic Devaluation.' 'But if America's Libertarians join together as a strong, unified force, well, there's just no limit to what 57 people can accomplish.'

3	Scotland Yard Chief Wants CCTV Cameras in EVERY HomeSM Gibson The British Security Industry Authority (BSIA) estimates there are up to 5.9 million closed-circuit television cameras scattered throughoutthe UK, including 750,000 in sensitive locations such as schools, hospitals and care homes. This statistic was released in 2013 as well. Do you think they decided to halt the expansion of their Orwellian state at any point over the past two years? The safe bet is that these numbers have grown exponentially. The truly remarkable and almost unfathomable piece of information regarding CCTV cameras in the United Kingdom is that no one really knows how many there are. Simon Adcock, of the BSIA, said in 2013, Because there is no single reliable source of data, no number can ever be held as truly accurate. So basically what Simon is saying is that there are so many of these damn things, we lost count a long time ago. It appears theBSIA has guesstimated a number for the purpose of appeasing the general population. And now for the kicker There are apparently not enough surveillance cameras to spy on the innocent citizens of the United Kingdom, according to Scotland Yard. Sir Bernard Hogan Howe, thehead of Londons Metropolitan Police Service, is now urging residents to put CCTVcameras in their homes and businesses. Because safety. It gets better though Facial recognition software has got better, and we can now apply it to images of burglaries, and then compare them with images we take when we arrest people. What we need to be able to do is to be able to compare that photograph with the images we have of people committing a crime. Taking the tops of their heads is not that helpful for facial recognition which relies on the eyes and the configuration of the area around the nose and the mouth. So were trying to get people to, ideally, add a camera at face level. If anyone listening has a business, think about installing a new one theyre relatively cheap. If you cant buy one, could you think about moving it? jhbfglnhgnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Please forgive the long string of indiscernible text above. My head crashed against the keyboard when I passed out in anger because of the egregious words I was being forced to type. Sir Bernard wants to encroach on the privacy of the good people of the United Kingdom to such a prodigious level, that he is encouraging them to install video cameras with facial recognition capabilities inside of their most personal of spaces? Wow. Does the government really need to peer in on ourmost intimate moments of isolation to keep us secure? Have we really come to a point in our civilization, in a supposed free society mind you, where we put facial recognition equipped cameras in our homes? No thanks, Sir Bernard.

Heres Who Is Replacing Him [VIDEO] Republican Representative Mark Meadows made a name for himself in 2013, when he criticized the Obama administration, claiming that we did not elect a dictator. After refusing to support the Obamatrade deal, Republican leadership removed Meadows from the subcommittee. Now, it appears that Meadows is attempting to remove John Boehner as the Speaker of the House. On Tuesday, Meadows introduced a resolution called Declaring the Officer of the Speaker of the House of Representatives Vacant. The resolution addresses the fact that in two out of three of Boehners terms as speaker, the majority of conservatives have voted against him. What do you think? Do you support Meadows in getting Boehner out?

She argued that it was a distraction from the real issues at hand. I dont remember a time in my life when my parents and family werent being attacked, so it just sort of seems to be in that tradition, unfortunately, Chelsea commented. And what I find most troubling by far are Trumpsand we talked about this when you interviewed me the night before the Iowa caucusare Trumps continued, relentless attacks on whole swaths of our country and even our global community: women, Muslims, Americans with disabilities, a Gold Star family. I mean, that, to me, is far more troubling than whatever his most recent screed against my mom or my family. Juanita Broaddrick responded with the following series of tweets: 1. Here is my response to Chelsea Clintons statement about her fathers sexual misdeeds 
1	Explaining that you would earn all your money back by attending just three Rock N Roll Blackout nights, a report released this week by the Franklin Skate Center confirmed that youre actually saving yourself money by purchasing an annual membership. While the $55 membership package appears expensive at first, once discounted entry, priority parking, and a subscription to the rinks monthly newsletter, Spin, are factored in, the annual pass makes far more monetary sense than paying $20 per visit, the report read in part, adding that all new members also receive free premium laces from the WonderWheels Pro Shop, a $10 value on their own. And these calculations dont even take into account the complimentary knee and elbow pad rentals and half-off glow-in-the-dark jewelry for members. Therefore, it is our conclusion that this is the best roller rink value in the Central Indiana area. The report went on to state that for only $10 extra, the Ultimate VIP Package includes a free large cheese pizza on your birthday and $15 in game room tokens. 
3	Daily Show Highlights Mystery of How Many Americans are Shot and Killed by PoliceAmanda Warren Samantha Bee of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart set out to find that data, and interviewed those she thought would have the answers. Getting a coherent answer was akin to pulling teeth. If you watch the segment below, it appears that the data for the number of Americans killed by police shootings is simply not available [Warning: Language] But is that really so? If its really true that youre 9 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than a terrorist this would be the most pressing issue of the day. Jim Fisher, author of SWAT Madness and the Militarization of the American Police says there is no national database available, so he collects his own information based on Internet news findings. These numbers are even higher than the stories listed in Wikipedia. Taking a look at some of descriptions there, the reasoning behind the shootings seem questionable. Documentary-maker Charles Shaw made a short film called Release Us which highlights that around 500 innocent Americans are murdered by police brutality each year which would put the American death count at the hands of police higher than 5,000 since 9/11. That number is greater than the number of US soldiers lost in Iraq. Furthermore, what about wrongful deaths of citizens from police use of so-called non-lethal weaponry? What The Daily Show did was show that the statistics for police shootings should be readily available, but are not. That it is taken lightly with no accountability. Why would this important information disappear down the memory hole where did it go? Recently byAmanda Warren 
3	GMO and Natural Food Fight: Treacherous Terrain in 2014Ronnie Cummins For more than two decades, Monsanto and Big Food have poisoned and profited with impunity, thanks to the FDAs reckless 1992 dictate that pesticide-drenched (Roundup-resistant) or insecticide-impregnated (Bt-spliced) crops and foods are safe and substantially equivalent to non-GE foods. Now, the Biotech Bullies and Junk Food Giants are under siege by a well-informed and passionate grassroots food movement that is determined to drastically reduce or eliminate the market share of genetically engineered and chemically-intensive foods and crops. Since natural health and food activists discovered the Achilles Heel of the GMA and processed junk food industriesmandatory labelingthere has been no stopping this movement. Over the past several years, this movement has painstakingly built a broad national coalition to demand laws requiring mandatory labeling of foods containing genetically engineered ingredients, the same types of laws that have been passed in the European Union and scores of other nations. Food activists, bolstered by a growing number of successful class action lawsuits, are also demanding that food manufacturers and retailers put an end to the routine industry practice of fraudulently labeling or marketing products contaminated with GMOs and other chemicals as natural or all natural. Meanwhile, inspired in part by this anti-GMO grassroots upsurge, over 100 class action lawsuits have been filed across the U.S., charging major food corporations with labeling fraud for labeling or marketing GMO-tainted or chemically processed foods and cooking oils as natural or all natural. Rather than admit that much of their product lines are junk foods filled with synthetic chemicals and GMOs, and that nearly the entire $70-billion natural products industry is based on fraud and deception (i.e. misleading health minded consumers into believing that unregulated, non-certified natural products are nearly organic,), large companies such as Pepsi, General Mills, Kelloggs and Con-Agra, and specialty brands such as Chabani and Barbaras will likely pay out millions of dollars in out-of-court settlements this year while quietly removing natural and all natural labels from their non-organic products. GMO labeling laws are the cornerstone of the anti-GMO movement. But consumers are also expanding the fight by demanding outright bans on the growing of GMO crops. A number of counties in California, Washington and Hawaii have already passed bans, while a half dozen others, including counties in Oregon and California, will vote to create GMO-free zones in 2014. Beyond Exemptions: Comprehensive Labeling In a bizarre but effective propaganda move, polls reveal that Monsanto and the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) bamboozled millions of voters into voting no on mandatory GMO food labeling initiatives in California and Washington by pretending to take the side of consumers. How? By pointing out that these ballot initiatives failed to require GMO labels on restaurant, cafeteria and take-out food, and on meat and animal products. During the California and Washington campaigns, industry hammered home its message that the proposed initiatives were incomplete, confusing, expensive and riddled with loopholes that somehow benefitted nefarious special interests. In fact, consumers would have preferred a more comprehensive law, with no exemptions. But state laws mandate single-subject or limited provision language, and federal law preempts mandatory state labels on meat packages (though not on grocery store shelves, or on meat and dairy cases). In the wake of Monsanto and the GMA successfully sowing confusion over GMO labeling exemptions, a growing number of activists have decided to call industrys bluff by upping the ante. Future plans include pushing not only for GMO food labeling laws, but for all-inclusive food labeling legislation that will require restaurants, schools and grocery stores to label not just foods that contain GMO ingredients, but also foods from factory farms where animals are feed GMO-contaminated feed. As Alexis Baden-Meyer, Political Director of the Organic Consumers Association puts it: Tens of millions of Americans want to know if the food they buy contains genetically engineered ingredients. They want to know whether the meat, fish and animal products they consume come from animals reared on factory farms or CAFOs (Confined Animal Feeding Operations), where the animals are inhumanely confined, routinely fed genetically engineered grain, injected with synthetic hormones, engorged with growth promoters and dosed with antibiotics. Concerned consumers want and need this information whether they are shopping in a grocery store, sitting down in a restaurant or worrying about what their kids are eating in the school cafeteria. After we win the upcoming strategic battles over GMO food labeling in Vermont and Oregon, organic consumers and our allies will push for comprehensive factory farm labels as well. Industrys Next Move: Co-Opting the Right-to-Know Movement Industry sees the writing on the wall. As the head of the GMA admitted last year we cant keep fighting these labeling battles in every state. Monsanto, Bayer and their allies such as General Mills, Coca-Cola and Pepsi know that in 2014, several states including Vermont and Oregon will likely pass mandatory GMO food labeling laws, while a flood of successful class action lawsuits will highlight the fact that major brands are fraudulently labeling their GMO and chemically-tainted junk foods and beverages as natural or all natural. Once a greater degree of labeling transparency is required by law, even if in just a handful of states, leading food manufacturers will find themselves in a terrible bind. Will Kelloggs or Coke admit that their products contain GMOs in Vermont or Oregon, while refusing to divulge this fact in the other 48 states, Canada and Mexico? Or will they be forced to do what theyve already done in the EU, take these GMOs out of their products? Similarly if they cant label their junk foods as natural or all natural, how will they successfully compete in the marketplace? Backed into a corner by the anti-GMO movement, industry has come out fighting. The GMAhas called on the Obama Administration and the FDA to bail out Big Food. If grassroots-powered state laws and class action judges will no longer permit the biotech and food industry to secretly tamper with non-organic food and then fraudulently label these products as natural, then industry wants the federal government to take away states power to require GMO labeling, and at the same time, take away the judiciarys power to rule on fraudulently labeled natural products. Leaked documents obtained by the New York Times reveal that the GMA is lobbying the FDA to allow the use of natural on food labels even if the products contain GMOs. As Times writer Stephanie Strom reported on Dec. 19: Use of the term natural is now generating battles similar to previous fights over terms like organic, amid initiatives in several states that seek to label foods in a more transparent way. Last summer, Connecticut passed legislation on labeling that would make it illegal to use the word natural on the packaging of any food product containing biotech ingredients, and the governor signed it on Dec. 11. At the same time former USDA officials Dan Glickman and Kathleen Merrigan are floating the idea that certain members of the organic elite might be persuaded to back off on the demand for strict GMO labeling if certified organic products are allowed to state on their labels that they are GMO-free. As Glickman and Merrigan told the LA Times: Mandatory GMO labeling of all food will continue to arouse passions on both sides of the issue. Though it may not satisfy all GMO-labeling advocates nor be welcomed by all leaders in the biotechnology industry, allowing a GMO-free organic label provides more choice in the marketplace and responds to the demands of millions of American consumers in a practical and common sense way. Meanwhile informed sources in the organic industry are warning that the FDA might be preparing to propose a watered-down federal GMO labeling law designed to co-opt the organic and anti-GMO Movement and take away states rights to pass stricter labeling laws covering all genetically engineered ingredients basically nullifying laws now under consideration in Vermont, Oregon and several dozen other states. This strategy would involve the FDA allowing foods made from highly processed GE ingredients, such as cooking oils, high fructose corn syrup and sugar beets, that contain no easily detectable GE proteins down to a specified level to be labeled natural; certified organic foods to be labeled as GMO-free. Under this strategy, labels would be required on only those foods that contain readily detectable GMO proteins, as determined by standardized tests. In other words a large percentage of GMO-tainted foods would still not have to be labeled. So as we near victory on the GMO labeling front in Vermont and Oregon, and in class-action lawsuits this year, we must beware FDA treachery and the willingness of some in the organic and so-called natural industry to sell us out. If the FDA proposes a watered-down federal GMO labeling bill, or a rubber-stamp for the fraudulent industry practice of labeling GMO-tainted foods as natural or all natural, we must raise holy hell, and mobilize as never before. Either way 2014 is shaping up to be a make or break year for citizen activism on the food and farming front, part of a larger battle that will determine whether we, the grassroots majority, take back our democracy, or surrender to the corporatocracy and their indentured media, scientists and politicians.

3	Former World Bank Staffer Explains How Neoliberalism Is Destroying The WorldBy Dylan Charles Neoliberalism is the economic and political philosophic driving force in the world today. It suggests that human progress is the result of competition, best expressed by an extremist version of unfettered capitalism, where privatization of profits and socialization of losses are acceptable ethics, regardless of human and environmental costs incurred along the way. Neoliberalism is the killer plague of the 21st century. Neoliberalism is economic fascism. It is a criminal doctrine. Globalized neoliberalism privatizes public goods for private profit. Neoliberalism led by Washington with the shameful complicity of Europe has in the last fifteen years killed between 12 and 15 million people by wars, famine, deprived health services forced refugees. Today a small world elite of corporate and Wall Street CEOs and selected politicians call the shots. ~Peter Koenig First defined in 1938, its global implementation today is the product of the Washington Consensus of 1989 which describesa set of economic prescriptions for developing and crisis-wracked nationscreatedby the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the U.S. Treasury Department. It is a policy which relies on the creation of social and financial crises to distract and soften target nations and peoples, creating problems while providing the solutions. At present, Mexico is on the brink of revolution, a direct result of the fallout of three decades of neoliberal policy. The social impact of this process has been devastating, with a polarized income distribution, falling wages, increased precarious jobs, rising inequality, and extreme violence. Health conditions have also deteriorated and disorders associated with violence, chronic stress, and a changing nutritional culture have become dominating. [Source] Journalist George Monbiot describes neoliberalism as follows: Neoliberalism sees competition as the defining characteristic of human relations. It redefines citizens as consumers, whose democratic choices are best exercised by buying and selling, a process that rewards merit and punishes inefficiency. It maintains that the market delivers benefits that could never be achieved by planning. Attempts to limit competition are treated as inimical to liberty. Tax and regulation should be minimised, public services should be privatised. The organisation of labour and collective bargaining by trade unions are portrayed as market distortions that impede the formation of a natural hierarchy of winners and losers. Inequality is recast as virtuous: a reward for utility and a generator of wealth, which trickles down to enrich everyone. Efforts to create a more equal society are both counterproductive and morally corrosive. The market ensures that everyone gets what they deserve. ~[Source] Economic hitmanturned whistleblower, John Perkins, wrote in detail of his boots-on-the-ground experiences in conquering third-world nations through economic aid and infrastructure financing in his seminal classic, Confessions of an Economic Hitman. Hes since been on a world crusade to expose the madness of neoliberalism, seeking redemption by connecting with many of the indigenous cultures he previously had worked to enslave and oppress. In recent years, Greece has become a more visible victim of this policy as the IMF and the European Union have forced the people of this ancient culture into austerity and starvation as part of a plan of economic restructuring to force repayment of illegitimate debts to international bankers. Speaking at The Delphi Initiative in 2015, economist, geopolitical analyst, and former World Bank staffer, Peter Koenig, explained the scourge of this political and economic philosophy and how it is destroying our world today. What we are confronted with today is the globalization, and the globalization basically that we are living is like a fetish of the neoliberals. The neoliberals who want to reduce the world to one culture, to one set of values, all based on greed consumption and maximizing profits. ~Peter Koenig Koenig also speaks of neoliberalism as the root of the type of endless global conflict we see today, including wars of occupation and their resulting terrorism, noting that the U.S. economy is now so dependent on military spending that if peace were to break out, our economy would collapse. Although from 2015, Koenigs message is critically important today as the world continues to wake up to the reality that our lives are in the hands of a small exploitative group of inhumane corporations and governments who will stop at nothing to control the resources which make life possible, including water, destroying any civilization that stands in its way.

1	Alarmed and appalled sources confirmed today that in complete defiance of his biblical duty to live a life that is holy and pleasing to God, local 27-year-old and so-called Christian Jeff Daugherty currently has an erection. Daugherty, who claims to abide by the word of the Lord and walk in the footsteps of Jesus, is nonetheless now in a state of physical arousal, a development that has sent shockwaves through his community and deeply troubled his fellow churchgoers. How could anyone who professes to be a Christian fall to such shameful depths? said Janet Hindsley, a member of Daughertys church who told reporters she was stunned and disgusted at news of the mans engorged genitals. I know people are capable of these kinds of ghastly practices. Im not nave. But you just dont expect this sort of sinful behavior from someone you worship with every Sunday. The thought that Ive probably shared a pew with him before makes me sick to my stomach, she added, shaking her head in revulsion. Though Daugherty reportedly reads the Bible almost every day and regularly speaks out about his faith, sources said his present titillated condition puts him repulsively at odds with his assertion that he has accepted Jesus Christ as his savior. While many church members said they are praying for the soul of a man they believe has gone down a dark path, others are calling for the pervert and heretic to be expelled from their congregation. According to Darren Howe, who belongs to the same mens prayer group as Daugherty, this isnt the first time the purported believer in the Holy Scripture has become erect. He confided to me that he gets them at least once a week, and sometimes every day, said Howe with visible distaste, adding that while he was revolted by the admission, he encouraged Daugherty in his battle to remain pure before the eyes of the Lord. Apparently hes even woken up in the morning with one, as horribly depraved as that is. And this is a man who has children! Hes got that that thing under the same roof as his kids! How could Jeff let his body become an instrument of Satan? he continued. He must renounce this evil in his life and repent. Fearing Daugherty may bring his tumescent phallus into their place of worship Sunday, some church members have appealed to their pastor, the Rev. Allen Whitlock, to prevent the insult to all creation from entering Gods house. While its true we are all sinners, that doesnt give us an excuse to live as wickedly as we please, Whitlock said when reached for comment. Ive known Jeff a long time. Ive had dinner at his house. Ive prayed with his family at their kitchen table. It unnerves me to think that right there in his lap, out of sight and inches away from me, Jeff might very well have been quietly sinning. Because even if no one else can see it, the Lord can. Do I want a man singing songs of praise in my church while his body is flush with such impurity? he continued. No, I do not. Its an abomination, and it must stop. At press time, the pastor stood before a hastily convened vigil outside Daughertys house, urging his congregation to pray for the fallen mans erection to retreat and remain dormant so that he might one day resume his walk with God. 
3	ATT Helping Feds Spy On EveryoneBy Michael Maharrey Through the program known as Project Hemisphere, ATT searches trillions of call records for the DEA and other law enforcement agencies. The company collects data from every call that flows through its switches not just calls made by ATT customers. The information includes the number called and the callers location data. The company hands this information over to the government without any warrant requirement, most often in response to administrative subpoenas issued by agencies like the DEA without any judicial oversight. ATT owns more than three-quarters of landline switches and more cell towers than any company other than Verizon. The companys database contains decades of call records. Project Hemisphere came to light in 2013 when an activist stumbled upon a DEA PowerPoint file obtained in a FOIA request. The New York Times described it as a partnership between the government and the company. The government pays ATT to place its employees in drug-fighting units around the country. Those employees sit alongside Drug Enforcement Administration agents and local detectives and supply them with the phone data from as far back as 1987. But new documents obtained by the Daily Beast reveals the program was far more expansive than first reported. Government agents not only access the system to fight the war on drugs, Hemisphere isnt a partnership but rather a product ATT developed, marketed, and sold at a cost of millions of dollars per year to taxpayers. No warrant is required to make use of the companys massive trove of data, according to ATT documents, only a promise from law enforcement to not disclose Hemisphere if an investigation using it becomes public. At least 28 of so-called intelligence centers across the country use Hemisphere, according to the Daily Beast documents. The centers are staffed by federal agents as well as local law enforcement; one center is the Los Angeles Regional Criminal Information Clearinghouse, where Merritts number was sent for analysis. Analysis is done by ATT employees on behalf of law enforcement clients through these intelligence centers, but performed at another location in the area. At no point does law enforcement directly access ATTs data. Documents show law enforcement agencies obtain information from ATT and then use parallel construction to build their cases without revealing the companys involvement. In other words, police confirm the evidence through conventional police work, such as obtaining a court order for a wiretap or physical surveillance. That allows prosecutors to create what Electronic Frontier FoundationAdam Schwartz called a false investigative narrative in order to bring the case to trial without ever revealing the initial source of the information. A 2014 statement of work reveals the ATT insists on this level of secrecy. The Government agency agrees not to use the data as evidence in any judicial or administrative proceedings unless there is no other available and admissible probative evidence. Schwartz called the document striking in an interview with the Daily Beast. Ive seen documents produced by the government regarding Hemisphere, but this is the first time Ive seen an ATT document which requires parallel construction in a service to government. Its very troubling and not the way law enforcement should work in this countryAt a minimum there is a very serious question whether they should be doing it without a warrant. A benefit to the parallel construction is they never have to face that crucible. Then the judge, the defendant, the general public, the media, and elected officials never know that ATT and police across America funded by the White House are using the worlds largest metadata database to surveil people. ATT cashes in on its cooperation. According to the Daily Beast, when cities utilize the services, the feds reimburse them through the same grant programs that helps fun police militarization. States can take action to address ATTs decision to help the federal government violate the Fourth Amendment by passing the CHOICE Act (Creating Helpful Options for Institutions, Corporations, and Enterprise). This legislation bars any company voluntarily providing direct support to a federal agency violating the Fourth Amendment from entering into contracts with the state. While a state cannot forbid a private company like ATT from passing information in to the federal law enforcement, it can choose the organizations it does business with. The CHOICE Act throws the ball into a companys court, forcing it to chose: do business with the feds and support its rights violating operations, or refuse to provide such support and do business with the state. The federal government and its cooperative private sector partners will continue to expand the U.S. spy state if Americans dont take action to stop it. The federal government has shown zero inclination to rein in unconstitutional surveillance. That leaves it to state and local government to take action. Passage of the CHOICE Act may not stop ATT from spying on you, but it would at least create consequences and bring the issue into the public eye.

2	Russia Bombs Fleet Of ISIS Oil Tankers According to recent reports, Russia just had a major success against ISIS. In a single airstrike, they were able to take out a massive oil tanker convoy with 170 vehicles. On Saturday, sources confirmed that Russian warplanes traced and targeted the ISIL oil tankers near the Syrian border with Turkey. All the tankers were destroyed in the Russian warplanes airstrike, the sources added. Scores of ISIL terrorists accompanying the convoy were also killed or wounded in the air attack. The attacks comes after Turkey has refused to give in to demands to stop oil smuggling and close the portion of the border with Syria that is being controlled by ISIL militants. Ankara has responded that it is impossible to close the border, and they fear that terrorists may boost forces in response. What do you think, do you support Russia for taking action? 
1	NEW ENGLAND'They've been giving us the runaround on this money for a long time now, so we had no choice,' said Victor Migliore of the Bayonne, NJ-based collection agency. 'We mailed them four warnings and called the Capitol and White House at least 10 times each, but they just ignored us. Maybe now they'll finally realize we're not fooling around about that $5,498,415,904,232.05 they owe.' Collection agent Victor Migliore surveys a stretch of Cape Cod shoreline seized from the U.S. 'Make that $5,498,417,034,983.87,' added Migliore, recalculating the growing debt after a two-second pause. At 9 a.m., fences and highway barriers were placed across the border separating New York from Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut by professional 'repo' men in the employ of G. Schmidt Collection Agency. Under the terms of the repossession, New England's 13 million residents have been given seven days to vacate the region or face criminal-trespassing charges. No citizen will be permitted to re-enter New England 'until the entire debt is repayed or a mutually satisfactory repayment schedule has been agreed upon.' Tolls collected on the Massachusetts Turnpike during the exodus will go toward payment of the debt, but experts say such funds are unlikely to exceed $20 million. 'The United States is certainly not acting like a country that is serious about settling its account with us,' Migliore said. 'Last Wednesday, I asked them for the money, and they said they didn't have it yet. The next day, I read in the paper that they just bought a brand-new $350 million Stealth fighter. How does that make them look? Not very good, that's for sure.' 'What's worse, I recently learned from an associate that the U.S. has a budget surplus, but has chosen not to put any of it toward repaying us,' Migliore said. 'That definitely does not make me happy.' If the national debt, which is increasing at a rate of $267 million per day, is not paid off by June 1, G. Schmidt will begin seizing more property, beginning with Florida. 'We'll just keep repossessing land until we get our money,' G. Schmidt president Raymond Swartz said. 'Eventually, they'll come around.' U.S. Map Swartz said his firm is well within its rights to seize New England, but noted that it is committed to helping the U.S. get through its current financial troubles. 'We could have seized even more valuable and revenue-generating property, such as New York,' he said. 'But we want to give the U.S. a chance to get back on its feet again.' America's creditors said they are eager to see the long-owed money collected at last. 'Back in 1992, I lent the U.S. $85 million to buy concrete for some highway they were expanding in Texas,' Japanese banker Hideki Matsuda said. 'They wrote me an IOU and swore up and down that they'd pay me back by 1996. Well, I still haven't seen my money.' 'If the U.S. ever tries to borrow $500 million from you, never, ever say yes, no matter how much they beg or how much they swear they're good for the cash,' said Bundesbank president Gnter Krupp, who in 1994 approved just such a loan. 'I learned that the hard way.'

1	Citing a refusal to impose limiting social constructs on their offspring, parents Lucas Cady and Kat Loesel reported Monday they will not tell their 4-year-old, Quynn, whether the child is biologically male or female. 'Who are Kat and I to say what sexual organs our kid possesses?' asked Loesel, who has dressed Quynn in dull gray smocks since birth and only allows the child to play with toy figures that have been neutered of any conventionally feminine or masculine characteristics. 'We think it's important our child's frequent questions about girls and boys go unanswered so that Quynn can discover its true sex for itself.' The couple also said that parents should be supportive of children who decide they do not have human genitalia at all.

2	RNC Betrays America... Makes Sickening Move To Do This Trump Right Before The Election It has been a tumultuous month for Donald Trump. Americans were outraged with the Republican candidate after an audio tape leaked of him talking about women in a lewd manner. Since then, many women have come forward with accusations of assault. Supporters of the legendary businessman fear the future of his presidential campaign is in jeopardy if he cannot regain the support of women voters. To top things off, the GOP establishment is reportedly considering using the controversy as a reason to drop Trump for good. Major GOP donors have been dumping their support of Donald Trump and are rumored to be seeking a new GOP candidate for the race. RNC officials have been meeting to discuss the future of the candidacy. At this point, nothing is certain. This is uncharted water for a presidential race, especially this late in the game. Perhaps the only thing the GOP can agree on at this point is that Hillary Clinton needs to be kept far away from the White House. What do you think? Do you support Trump or did he take things too far?

Shouldnt the awake alt sphere be advocating shunning of FB, walk away en masse, create our own realities instead of wriggling deeper into their Chinese finger cuff traps? All I get on the video is an ever repeating ad for Goldman Sachs, the most vile bank in America. 
2	Wendys Submits To The Obamas In A Disgusting Way... As we all know, Michelle Obama has been on a relentless mission to control what children throughout America are eating. Now, fast food franchise Wendys just made the decision to remove soda from the kids menu. Yes, you heard that right. Children at the restaurant will not be allowed to drink soda. Instead, they will be able to choose between milk, juice, and water. The only way to get soda is for a parent to request it for their children. Restaurants should not be setting parents up for a fight by bundling soda with meal options designed for kids, claimed Fr. Michael Crosby. Wendys is taking a responsible step forward that will improve childrens health and make it easier for parents to make healthy choices for their children. We hope Burger King, Applebees, IHOP, and other chains follow suit. Of course, this positive sentiment is not shared by everyone. Many parents argue that their childrens diet is their own decision. What do you think? Do you want fast food restaurants dictating your childs diet?

Youve been a real champ these last few months, little bud, so Im gonna hit one out of the ballpark just for you, said Fielder, who admitted that it broke his heart to know the ailing city didnt have much time left. You keep watching me up there on the TV screen, okay? Youre so strong. I just need you to hold on a little bit longer. At press time, sources confirmed Detroit was eagerly watching Fielder and cheering for the five-time All-Star even as its vital infrastructure started to give out. 
3	Garbage Trucks to Begin Recording License Plates for Law EnforcementBy Kristen Anderson The City Counsel voted 4-1 in August to continue planning how to use the technology to provide efficient and effective intelligence to local law enforcement. The scanners cost $15,000 each, and the city could have a constant stream of data coming in. While law enforcement touts this as an efficient way to deter vehicle theft and locate vehicles that have already been stolen, many are expressing alarm. The plan raises significant concerns due to the fact that it would turn private waste collection companies into agents of law enforcement. The ramifications of this kind of data storage is causing outrage among civil liberties activists because it is not clear what the limits of this data are. Will the data really only be used to help locate stolen vehicles? Or will it be used if law enforcement want to find a criminal suspect? Will it be used if the government wants to monitor the movements of certain citizens? How long before this plan comes to a city near you?

3	DNC Day 2 Psyop Tactics Exposed: Give Sanders Larger Roll, Sell Compelling StoriesBy Bernie Suarez Day 2 of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, PA promises to deliver classic Edward Bernays-style propaganda to manipulate the opinion and views of the masses. It is now reported that the Democratic party is desperate to calm things down in the aftermath of the stolen primaries and the Bernie Sanders full-on sellout and they need to have their sheep unanimously support CFR criminal Hillary Clinton. But how can they do this? This is the question officials at the DNC are strategizing and brainstorming about and apparently they feel they have the possible tactics ready. One thing everyone should know about propaganda and lies and even Edward Bernays considered the founding father of modern day propaganda (later re-named public relations) is that once the person subjected to the propaganda is aware of the propaganda the propaganda is no longer guaranteed to be effective. So there you are. Awareness alone can destroy this real-time attempt by those behind the Democratic National Convention whose only purpose is to insert lifetime criminal Hillary Clinton into the position of presidency of the United States so that the ruling elite can finally have their fully operational one world government at the expense of millions of lost lives. So lets do everything we can to continue to spread this awareness. Before we discuss the rumored DNC strategy for inserting CFR criminal Hillary Clinton as the official nominee of the party for presidency let us realize that the one unanimous purpose for all of these strategies is to get the attention away from Hillarys crimes, lies, deceit and misdeeds. However they need to do it. Be on the lookout for the following strategies being discussed by the those manipulating the event. Since the Bernie Sanders supporters showed over the past months that they care about corruption and they have shown a lot of heart and desire to support their candidate, why not try to sponge off of this crowd and hope that some of their energy leaks over to Hillary the CFR criminal? The only way they can pull this off is by selling fake unity, peace, and love. The Washington Post reports: The possibilities include having Sanders formally nominate Clinton during a scheduled roll-call vote a move designed as a show of unity designed to quell potential demonstrations on the convention floor by the senators supporters. This is a pathetic attempt to make you think that Hillary is the same as Bernie. They want to somehow convey to the crowd the delusion that the actual issues dont matter but the party does! This is the greatest lie any Sanders supporter could ever fall for. Nothing could be further from the truth, and I urge Bernie Sanders supporters to stop what you are doing and think on your own. The party itself has nothing to do with anything. As the years and decades go by anyone can see that there is no difference between the 2-party system, and they are 2 parties controlled by the exact same ruling elite. As mentioned, hidden in this strategy is a plan by the Democrats at the DNC to sell unity. Expect the whole kumbaya peace and love psyop Tuesday and the rest of the week as unity is one of the few cards the ruling elite can play in a desperate attempt to make people forget that Hillary is a criminal who belongs in jail. We can expect more Hollywood celebrities and musicians to grace the stage with their opinions. Again, all of this is like reading right out of a Bernays marketing strategy campaign, and all we need to do is realize its all fake and everyone is lying to you. Do not believe their lies. So when they roll out Sanders on Tuesday (or any day during the convention) do not be fooled by this tactic. This is as old and corny a tactic as there is but this is exactly what the Democrats are planning. Roll out people who will tell compelling stories that will grab at peoples emotions. They are not even hiding their strategy of manipulating peoples emotions. By the end of Tuesday, Clinton is poised to make history as the first woman to be nominated for president by a major party. But Democrats also want to first reverse sustained negative perceptions of her and on Tuesday will rely on people that the Clinton campaign says have been touched by her decades of work as a lawyer, first lady, senator and the nations top diplomat to make the case. With the healing process among Democrats still underway, Clintons campaign manager Robby Mook said that Tuesday nights programming is designed to remind Americans about the former secretary of states long public service career. A lot of people arent familiar with her accomplishments, Mook told ABCs Good Morning America, noting that former president Bill Clinton will give the nights big speech. A third strategy brewing for some time at the Democratic camp is to stir up and revive the gun control agenda. It seems they will start by featuring several family members of several famous race-related police killings in order to feed the ongoing engineered race war. You would think this would be a great time to address the American police state, the 1033 program, SWAT home invasions and police corruption, right? Instead, look for this to become a presentation for gun control and look for these family members to deliver classic emotionally engaging and compelling stories to trick everyone into supporting gun control. If this were not the case the individuals invited to speak would not be speaking. While the former president headlines the evening, the convention is also set to hear from several others of the victims of gun violence or police-involved incidents, including Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner, who died after being put in a chokehold by a New York City police officer in 2014; Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin, who was fatally shot by a neighborhood watch volunteer in Sanford, Fla. in 2012; and Lesley McSpadden, the mother of Michael Brown, who was killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo., in 2014. Gun control has become a leading issue of concern for Clinton. I cant say enough about the entire gun control agenda at work for years under the Obama regime which has watched mass shootings go up by 700%, many of them completely staged and orchestrated in one way or another by the federal government in order to create the circumstances to take away your guns. The circumstances to take away your legal Constitutionally protected guns will be explored very deeply in this convention. When its all said and done realize that Hillary must go to prison orange jumpsuit and all. She is as much a criminal as it gets. She belongs in a prison doing hard time for the long list of crimes she is suspect of and in many cases crimes that are now confirmed by FBIs own director. Criminals that the majority of people dont trust dont get to be president because a propaganda mechanism says so. Lets once and for all tell this control mechanism, their media and the ruling elite who tell them what to say that weve had enough. 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. Bernie, This is what we must get past by first admitting we were fooled, and correctly identifying who the liars are. Agreed about Bernies last few pieces being some of his best. Ive followed him for years,love his articles because he tells the truth and points out what so many have missed The Truth. Skepticism is a healthy trait. When watching the DNC if you apply a healthy dose of it you will easily see through the smoke and mirrors. Smoke a joint and their lies will stand out like rainbows. Thats the ONLY way I could stand to watch such a freak show but it would be terrible waste of weed. If Americans lose their right to arms, the light of liberty will go out on planet earth. If Americans lose their so-called right to bear arms and murder whoever they want, it will mean millions fewer people murdered on every continent by Americas demented cowboys. I think youre confusing the right to bear arms for US citizens vs. the United States Corp./MIC, which exports the weapons that kill millions. Its looking quite likely that those two factions may be at war with each other in the near future. Then there are the mid-level players; those individual Americans who make, sell and ship those weapons. Lumping all those factions into the same pot destroys your argument. With the exception of a small group of awakened, most Americans are too busy surviving to pay much attention to what our nefarious government is up to. I say this with sadness not blame. With the exception of maybe Iceland, that applies to the working citizens in all countries. If the 7 billion of us could find common ground instead of bickering across borders, we could stop the whole mess. Meanwhile, the arm-bearing American citizens will hold on to our personal protection because we are the only faction keeping the US/MIC from going totally blitzkrieg. Excellent article! Well done! I agree with Common Sense below. The difficulty I am having in talking about the Clinton Crime Family to the groupies is that the Distraction has worked. They are so jazzed about being part of a movement that puts a woman on the throne, they cant sit still. It doesnt matter that the woman is a criminal and liar who has never done anything to make their lives better ever. The Clintons have the assistance of the Cabal, and 99% of those in government at any level or in Planned Parenthood, etc., are dirty in some way. Extortion really works. Theyve really got the goods on Bernie Sanders. He just keeps saying How far should I bend over? Fox News called him the Puppet for the Powerful. What a let down, again. Hillary has been gloating over his demise. Meanwhile, I dont know what to say to the groupies to open their minds, give them a chance to evaluate the facts. They have bought all of the public relations ($57 Million in the first part of 2016) demonizing Trump, and think Trump is the devil. These are groupies who so resemble zombies that I wonder if there is any way to encourage consciousness. Itll take real betrayal for them to ever wake up, and by then all of us will be buried beneath the avalanche, powerless to defend ourselves. George Soros has done some truly great things in the past 30 years ( eg. the medical cannabis movement), but supporting the Clinton Crime Family shows me that he knows the Clintons are bought and paid for and will capitulate to his demands. Interestingly, even the IRS is going to audit the Clinton Crime Family Foundation to count up the Pay to Play bribes. The medical cannabis movement is to allow the government (oligarchs) to genetically modify and/or poison the cannabis in some way so that its use will be detrimental to health. They have to make themselves look good and then the true colors eventually show up. These people dont do things for the benefit of humanity except to line their own pockets and to get greater control. Bingo!! Finally, someone else spotted it. What you say is so true. Same things happening here in Australia. As if they are going to give us something of benefit FFS! Even many of truth seekers are still not getting it. They dont want us healthy. They want us sick! Yes, I understand Monsanto is making that move right now. True, onetree. Cannabis is being fast track legalized via a massive PR campaign to undo the big scary pothead boogeyman they placed on society back in the 60s and 70s. Look how successful they were are making the masses despise it! Now they have to undo that so they can sell their tainted lab rat version. Once that market is up and running, theyll GMO it to death. Heirloom seeds will be worth their weight in Acapulco Gold. Absolutely! Anyone whos got good clean seeds should save them for posterity. Unfortunately Hillary has applied her own Greed to herd the cattle. When you promise amnesty to every illegal that has snuck into this country and give the get out jail free card and also make them automatically eligible for free government services and college for their anchor babies..you will get their vote. She had to offer free college after the millennials and their parents jumped on the Bernie trainso she bought their votes as well. Its pretty hard to talk common sense to someone when will personally benefit from the promises of a corrupt potential leader and get them to realize its a big Con that will put this country in further debt with higher taxes. They can forgive or ignore her corrupt ways and the fact she wants to put this country at a greater risk of terrorism by having open borders and bringing a quarter million Muslims from terrorist occupied countries to our homeland. They are blinded by her promises of free and dont realize that she is taking jobs away while she does nothing (like Obama) about the masses of jobs that are leaving this country and being outsourced to overseas. Blacks, minorities and everyone without a college degree would have to compete for jobs with all the illegals once she gives them amnesty. She also will push for more trade agreements with foreign countries to keep building the Clinton Foundation (their personal slush fund) while only 10% goes to actual charities. Therefore more companies will move and take jobs with them. I sailed away from family and friends three months after KENT STATE. Id had enough!!!But I still have family in the states. I see whats happening and Im physically and mentally sick. Trouble is, if the people go out on the streets and protest by the millions, after Clinton gets in office, you will be mowed down. The only way to avoid this is vote Trump. I was a 100000% with Bernie. He to me was the savior of the planet. But they must have threatened to kill his dog if he didnt get in line. Never has the USA been so close to losing all its freedoms. If you vote Clinton the nukes will fall! Im sure he was threatened. They are powerful people with powerful associations and have the ability to follow up on their threats, for the moment anyway. Just ask any of the many individuals who have somehow found themselves in the cross hairs, if you can find them. Even worse, the Democratic Party elite are using a red herring to prevent the scandal from gaining ground. They blame Trump for asking whoever found the Party e-mails, proving fraud during the primaries, to disclose more if they have them. Somehow these Party Hacks, no pun intended, equate showing the Democrats very dirty and smelly laundry to the public, as a national security risk. Truly, how grossly hypocritical is that? The threat to national security is the theft of the peoples votes, the theft of a democratic, in all meanings of that word, process to choose a national candidate for the presidency. It is absolutely inexcusable in a first world democracy and is a fraud against the American people! National security is one of those coded expressions. One meaning for the masses and the real meaning. It exists to protect the elites. They own it and use it in whatever way they choose to protect themselves. Stategy 4) Fix the diebold voting machines. But its a great distraction for Hillarys corruption. Hillary is incredibly corrupt, but she comes from a corrupt system that is the product of lies and murders. American elections are all bought by the money junkies of Wall Street. The world needs to junk the dollar and make the evil American empire crash. Well said, SpiritCalls. My grandfather was a ship commander in WWII, a friend of Eisenhower and a believer in Eisenhowers Beware of the MIC warning. I was far too busy with my busy, busy life to listen to his rants about the dangers we face now. The young will have to take their punches just like he did and we did. You cant blame the government for 30,000 dead Americans every year that are killed by gun toting idiots. Especially as most European countries have less than 50 gun deaths every year. You didnt watch the video, did you? Wouldnt want anything to disturb your notions of the world. And if you did watch the video, it will still be difficult to change you given this is an emotional issue with you, and facts and reason do not address emotions. Two-thirds of the 30,000 you site, are suicides. People who want to kill themselves will find a way. There are 110 countries in the world with higher murder rates than the US. This includes all weapons, so even in countries with gun control laws, the people still kill each other. In this country, certain groups commit murder at much higher rates than others. Of course it is not politically correct to go into further detail on that. That is a normal American lie. How about another lie that says that two thirds are suicides? 30,000 is an accurate number as is the fact there are 70,000 wounded. Even if only one third were murders, that would mean you Yankee bovine excrement shooters would have to explain the huge difference in the numbers of gun murdered Americans (10,000) compared with the number of dead Europeans. I think the world has had enough of the nonsense and lies by the arrogant Yanks. Again. Did you watch the video? If not, why not? If you did, do you not see who kills the most people with guns? Please answer these questions. 
1	A headstrong young protagonist in way over her head visited the microfilm room of the New Haven Public Library Tuesday night in order to delve deeper into a riveting plotline that could put her careerand maybe even her lifeon the line. Everything&#8212;the suicide note, the creek, the tight-lipped pharmacist&#8212;starts to come together for the protagonist. According to sources, the plucky and determined woman worked late into the evening, whirring methodically through a reel of archived newspapers in search of information that could unlock a secret better left untouched. The inquisitive main character then reportedly scrolled past the material she was looking for before carefully winding the microfilm in reverse and adjusting the focus on a single significant headline. ''Mysterious Sickness Baffles Community,'' whispered the journalist, her lips barely moving as she scanned two seemingly unrelated front-page articles from a 1995 issue of the New Haven Gazette. ''WorldChem To Open New Plant Near Interstate.'' Added the tireless investigator, 'WorldChem' A number of key supporting characters confirmed Tuesday that the attractive, no-nonsense young writer would likely not rest until she had unearthed every last detail of what she assured them was 'just a hunch.' Library sources reported that the protagonist moved confidently through thousands of periodicalsas well as various city, county, and state recordsbefore finding the exact items she desired. 'Bingo,' said the journalist, positively identifying the mayor's ex-wife in a photo with a WorldChem executive. 'And Lt. Gov. Michaels. What's going on here?' Sources said a thud from somewhere in the dark room then frightened the likable and quietly determined heroine, who had been warned by her fathera retired newspaperman himselfthat she was playing with fire and would do well to go back to covering broken water mains and city council meetings. 'Hello?' the frightened young woman said before returning to her work. 'Hello?' According to reports, several hours seemed to sweep by within a matter of seconds as the journalist viewed numerous headlines in rapid succession, each blurring into the next and implicating more and more powerful individuals in a tangled web that, just moments earlier, was completely unknown to any but those directly involved. 'Oh my God,' said the protagonist, grasping that she had just pieced together a statewide conspiracy, the exact details of which were apparent only to her but which, reports suggested, might link high-ranking officials to some manner of corporate malfeasance and would almost certainly threaten to bring down the entire power structure. 'This goes all the way to the top.' 'What have I gotten myself into?' she added. Sources said that as the fictional reporter realized she was likely embroiled in a dangerous game of greed and corruption with public figures capable of anything, she was interrupted by a sudden, startling tap on her shoulder, which ended up being nothing more than the night librarian. 'We're closing in five minutes, miss,' the peripheral character said. The journalist was later seen walking through the library's parking lot frantically talking on her cell phone to her editor, a gruff but ultimately adoring mentor who had agreed to let her continue her investigation only upon realizing she was too stubborn to take no for an answer anyway. At press time, a blinding set of headlights from across the lot had suddenly burst into view. 
3	10 Principles to Protect Your Users from NSA Sabotage: An Open Letter to Tech CompaniesYan Zhu From the Snowden revelations emerge stories of collusion between government spy agencies and the companies whose services are integral to our everyday lives. There have been disturbing allegations published by Reuters indicating that RSA, an influential information security firm, accepted a $10 million contract from NSA that included, among other items, an agreement to use what we now know to be an intentionally compromised random number generator as the default for its BSAFE cryptographic library. A future where we cannot trust the very technologies meant to secure our communications is fundamentally unsustainable. Its time for technology companies to start helping users regain trust, with transparency and active opposition to illegal surveillance. Implementing the requisite changes in technical infrastructure and business practices may have short-term costs; however, the long-term cost of keeping users in perpetual fear of NSA sabotage is far greater. How to Protect Your Users from NSA Backdoors: An Open Letter to Technology Companies As security researchers, technologists, and digital rights advocates, we are deeply concerned about collaboration between government agencies and technology companies in undermining users security. Among other examples, we are alarmed by recent allegations that RSA, Inc. accepted $10 million from NSA to keep a compromised algorithm in the default setting of a security product long after its faults were revealed. We believe that covert collusion with spy agencies poses a grave threat to users and must be mitigated with commitment to the following best practices to protect users from illegal surveillance: Sincerely, *Affiliations listed for identification purposes only. 
1	All right, people, let's talk about this horse-marriage debacle. The conventional wisdom is that Congressman Ronald North is the bad guy, but like all conventional wisdom, it's DEAD WRONG. What no one except for ol' Shelby seems to be looking at here is the culpability of the horse. There are a lot of facts that indicate this mare Juniper lured North into this rendezvous. First of all, Juniper prances around COMPLETELY NAKED nearly all the time. The most this trollop ever wears is a saddle and a few ribbons braided in her tail. Do a quick search for 'Juniper' online and you'll see dozens of photos of Juniper running around her paddock nude, like a drunk sorority girl on spring break. Secondly, this horse is a disgusting mess. Juniper has been seen urinating and defecating in public literally hundreds of times. You thought those Jersey Shore gals were bad. Once at a rodeo she went about her business in front of nearly a thousand people! Right there in the mud! This horse is TROUBLED, people. Does she debase herself this way because of some sick, psychologically-driven need to get attention? Or does this horse simply lack any comprehension of social norms? Finally, there's a mountain of evidence that Juniper is into some real kinky stuff. Numerous websites online show her getting smacked with a riding crop, wearing blinders over her eyes, even having a bit put in her mouth. Now, in my line of work, I have been forced to encounter some very wild fetishes, but this horse is in a league of her own. Add all this to the fact that Juniper has never held a job and only attended a two days of high school before getting kicked out for being a horse and you start to get a very clear picture of just how desperate and out-of-control Juniper is. Would a horse like this have wanted to use a wealthy, powerful man like North for everything he's worth? You bet your sweet patootie she would. 
3	Profit over Safety Centers for Disease Control Names 271 New VaccinationsBy Christina England Kennedy called the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) a cesspool of corruption, mismanagement and dysfunction, making it crystal clear to readers that financial gain fueled their decision making. He wrote: In other words, by mandating vaccinations, the government has made it impossible for parents to protect their children from being injected with harmful chemicals. Mr. Kennedy concluded by stating that: To discover exactly which vaccinations the CDC is planning to introduce, I followed the links provided by Kennedy, which led to a 2013 document, titled Medicines in Development Vaccines A Report on the Prevention and Treatment of Disease Through Vaccines. [2] The report, published by Americas biopharmaceutical research companies, stated: Their list was endless, and while the majority of people consider vaccination a good idea, where does belief end and common sense kick in? How many vaccinations can our bodies tolerate? How Many Vaccinations Are Too Many? Although the CDC has listed a total of 271 vaccinations currently under development, in reality, this number could be even higher. In 2010, News Medical published an article titled 395 new vaccines being developed for infectious diseases: PhRMA. The article stated: Their words are very worrying; however, the title of the above-mentioned article is slightly misleading, because the actual number of vaccinations being developed is unclear. The authors stated: Many New Vaccinations Being Tested in Developing World It is a recognized fact that the developing world has been used by the World Health Organization (WHO) to test vaccines for decades. This has been proven in data and vaccine studies dating back as far as the 1970s. [4] It appears that nothing much has changed because meticulous research has proven that many of the vaccinations under development and listed by the CDC in 2013 are currently being tested throughout the developing world. Trials Currently Taking Place in Thailand and Bangladesh A number of HIV vaccine trials have been reported to have taken place in Thailand since 2009. Although scientists initially reported a moderate success rate in the early trials, a trial which took place in 2013 failed miserably, when 41 volunteers became infected with the virus. [5] In 2009, Bill Gates, who is keeping a close eye on the trials, published the following press release: Dr. Tachi Yamada, President of the Global Health Program at the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation, made the following statement today regarding the results of a major HIV vaccine study conducted in Thailand (RV 144). For the first time, we have proof that a vaccine can provide protection against HIV infection in humans. These results offer new hope that its possible to develop a highly effective vaccine with the power to break the back of the AIDS pandemic. The scientific community must move with speed and urgency to build upon these findings. To accelerate the pace of progress, it will be essential to expand research striving for incremental improvements on this initial success. This will be a worldwide effort. As research on HIV vaccines moves forward, we must also rapidly expand the use of existing, proven HIV prevention strategies, and continue exploring every other means to contain the pandemic We extend our thanks and heartiest congratulations to everyone who contributed to this historic milestone including the U.S. Army, the Thai Ministry of Public Health, the Royal Thai Army, NIAID, Global Solutions for Infectious Diseases (GSID/VaxGen), Sanofi Pasteur, and especially the many Thai volunteers who enrolled in the trial. [6] Oral Cholera Vaccine (OCV) Trials in Bangladesh In July 2015, a group of researchers and scientists, headed by Firdausi Qadri, Ph.D., published a study in The Lancet, titled Feasibility and effectiveness of oral cholera vaccine in an urban endemic setting in Bangladesh: a cluster randomised open-label trial. [8] Although the trial was deemed a success and reported favorably in several mainstream newspapers and scientific editorials, the results told a different story. The study examined three groups of participants: In the vaccination-only group, there was a 37 percent improvement and in the vaccination plus behavioral changes group there was a 45 percent improvement. As you can see, the results of the study only indicated a low to moderate percentage of improvement and the fact that the authors stated that they recorded no vaccine-related serious adverse reactions leaves this study open to interpretation. It would have been interesting to have had a fourth group of participants. For example, those who had been educated in hygiene and had access to clean water but received no vaccination. Sadly, however, scientists missed this opportunity. Study Hailed a Success According to many reports, the above results constituted a resounding success. The Sci Dev Net wrote: Outbreak News Today reported: A global stockpile, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the ELMA Vaccines and Immunization Foundation, the EU Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection department (ECHO), the Margaret A Cargill Foundation and the USAID Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance, initially made 2 million doses of the vaccine available. In 2015, with funding from the GAVI Alliance, the number of doses available for use in both endemic hotspots and emergency situations is expected to rise to around 3 million. The oral cholera vaccine is an important tool in fighting cholera. Its use must be both supported by local authorities and used hand-in-hand with focused, sustainable water and sanitation actions in targeted communities. [10] Conclusion How many vaccinations will be considered to be a sensible number? If all of the vaccinations currently under development are deemed a success, how many of them will be added to the schedule? As there is little research to determine which ingredients are in the vaccinations listed as under development by the CDC, many parents are concerned about their toxicity and how best to protect their children. I will leave you with the wise words of Robert F, Kennedy Jr: Vaccine industry money has neutralized virtually all of the checks and balances that once stood between a rapacious pharmaceutical industry and our children.

Must be nice that they can produce these deadly vaccines without law suits and prosecution lodged against them. The blacks should be rising up on this but unfortunately they dont realize what has happened thanks to the dumbing down of our children by our federalized public schools. All part of the Elite depopulation program and taking away your right to choice. What do they call it when you have no right to decide what gets put into your body? get your shot guaranteed to put the nagalase inhibitor into your cells this will keep the gcmaf form attacking tumors the bodies mechanism for attacking foreign objects. Parents, how many more reasons do you need to get your kids out of the globalist,Agenda 21 ,corporate prison training program aka the public school system ? Forced sterilizations for all? The wealthy will fit through the loopholes, while the masses are relegated to further fear the man. Big Pharma is poisoning the world with petro-chemical based medications they know will kill some, mame others, and leave the majority without success in their personal procreative efforts. Forced adoptions will further diversify a cultures gene pool. The only thing that I would disagree with in this article is the idea that the new HIV vaccine is a good one. Thats like saying Charlie Manson turned over a new leaf. Since it has been proven that the drug companies create and manipulate their own studies, omitting negative information for profit and theyve paid off the government, even though they know people are being seriously hurt and dying from vaccines, why would anyone with common sense trust them? Thomas Jefferson On freedom of conscience; The error seems not sufficiently eradicated that the operations of the mind as well as the acts of the body are subject to the coercion of the laws. BUT OUR RULERS CAN HAVE AUTHORITY OVER ONLY SUCH NATURAL RIGHTS AS WE HAVE SUBMITTED TO THEM. THE RIGHTS OF CONSCIENCE WE NEVER SUBMITTED, WE COULD NOT SUBMIT. We are answerable for them to our God. I personally think that if the population of the United States shows a reverence for our government by allowing them to play Russian roulette with our childrens lives, we are as guilty as they are. These are the same people who, under the fraudulent name Planned Parenthood are taxpayer funding the murder of babies born alive, (partial birth abortion), in order to sell intact body parts for profit. Partial birth abortion is another deceptive name. This is where there is a live birth of a healthy baby and after it is delivered they kill it. I would call that murder. The Senate just voted not to defund Planned Parenthood.

Emma Tapping, the mother, posted a picture of the hundreds of presents covering the Christmas tree. Some people, like Andrea Tandtaros, have said, Its her house. If she wants to buy them a lot of gifts, let her. Others werent so kind. The kids are probably nightmares. Theres giving and theres turning your kid into a monster, Timpf said. Tapping also has some scandalous photos on her Instagram for a mother of three. Do you support this mother for buying 300 presents? Or did she take things too far? 
3	Group of Farmers Files Lawsuit Against Monsanto Claiming Roundup Gave Them All CancerBy Baran Hines The lawsuit was filed last Wednesday in federal court in Lincoln, Nebraska. The farmers are seeking punitive damages, alleging defective design, failure to warn, negligence and breach of warranty. Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Monsantos Roundup brand herbicide, which is advertised as being able to kill almost any weed. However, the company claims it is safe to use on food. Monsantos Roundup Ready GMO seeds are designed to resist the chemicals so the plants can still grow after being sprayed. The lawsuit also claims that Monsanto concealed or systematically sought to discredit research showing links between glyphosate and cancer and continues to do so. Monsanto championed falsified data and has attacked legitimate studies that revealed Roundups dangers. Monsanto led a campaign of misinformation to convince government agencies, farmers and the general population that Roundup is safe. Its continuing denial extends to the date of this Complaint, the lawsuit states. Glyphosate was designated as a probable cause of cancer in March 2015 by the World Health Organizations International Agency for Research on Cancer. The report noted glyphosate is most frequently associated with non-Hodgkins lymphoma and other hematopoietic cancers, including multiple myelomas, lymphocytic lymphoma, and B-cell lymphoma. All of the farmers in the group have been diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Later in 2015, California announced plans to label glyphosate as a carcinogen based on the IARCs classification. Monsanto has fought back against the declaration with a lawsuit. Several countries have banned or restricted glyphosate since itsclassification as a possible carcinogen by the IARC, including the Netherlands, France, Bermuda and Sri Lanka. According to the farmers lawsuit, Roundup is used on more than 100 varieties of crops, and the volume of glyphosate applied to crops grown in the U.S. has increased from 85 million pounds in 2001 to 185 million pounds by 2007. Glyphosate is found in rivers, streams, and groundwater in agricultural areas where Roundup is used. It has been found in food, the urine of exposed persons, and in the urine of urban dwellers without direct contact with glyphosate, according to the complaint. Monsanto has been the target of a series of new lawsuits including in India and Burkina Faso, both related to its Bt Cotton. The company is also being sued by 7 major US cities including Portland, Seattle, and San Diego. GMO policy is also in focus for the 2016 election season as Vermonts labeling law is the first in the nation to require labels for GMO ingredients. Vermonts law takes effect in July 2016. In March, the U.S. Senate voted 48-49 against SB 2609, a bill that would have blocked states from making their own GMO labeling laws. Senate Bill 2609, the Biotech Labeling Solutions Act has been called the DARK Act, an acronym for Deny Americans the Right to Know. The new Vermont law has some companies planning to label all products with GMO ingredients including MARS, maker of MMs and SNICKERS, fruit company Del Monte, and other large food conglomerates like Kelloggs, andGeneral Mills. Baran Hines writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Waldenstroms Of course the UN labeled it non carcinogenic, they are behind the depopulationagenda what has never been taken into account, is that many companies like Monsanto, were responsible for bio-warfare that produced toxic poisons the destroyed the vegetation, and are still killing the vegetation in Vietnam and people, and many women are having deformed babies that look like Crocodiles and octopus, and the US GOVERNMENT knows exactly what they are doing, they are Guilty of Genocide, in the USA and all over the world, and should be sued and jailed, and all money that they have accumulated should be confiscated, and should then be paid out into the relative penalties to those who have suffered loss of life and property. and the US DONKEY, the UNITED NATIONS are in it up to their dirty little necks, Good going farmers! I pray you get everything your entitled to. And will pray for a miracle concerning your health. Monsatano bringing disease to the world food is another weapon of psychopaths that rule from the top down. 
3	Artificial Weather Revealed by Post 9-11 Flight GroundingsSayer Ji, Contributor In the August 2002 edition of Nature, which is ranked the worlds most cited interdisciplinary journal, a report was published titled Contrails reduce daily temperature range, where scientists discuss how a brief interval when the skies were clear of jets unmasked an effect on climate. Three Days Without Contrails The post-9/11 grounding of all commercial aircraft resulted in the sudden disappearance of condensation trails (contrails) from jet aircraft across the entire United States. According to the Nature study, the potential of contrails from jet aircraft to affect regional-scale surface temperatures has been debated for years, but it was not until the three-day grounding period that doubts concerning the existence of the phenomenon could be put to rest. The Phenomenon: A 1.8 Degree Celsius Increase In Temperature in North America The study found an anomalous increase in the average diurnal temperature range (that is, the difference between the daytime maximum and night-time minimum temperatures) for the period 11-14 September 2001. They arrived at their measurements by analyzing maximum and minimum temperature data from approximately 4,000 weather stations through the conterminous United States (excluding Hawaii and Alaska) for the period 1971-2000, and compared them to the three-day post-9/11 grounding period. They found an increase in the diurnal temperature range (DTR) of approximately 1.1 degree Celsius over normal 1971-2000 values, and an increase of 1.8 degrees during the grounding period in contrast to the adjacent three-day periods analyzed when DTR values were near or below the mean. This is a highly significant finding as The increase in DTR is larger than any during the 11-14 September period for the previous 30 years, and since the 11-14 September increasing DTR was more than twice the national average for regions of the United States where contrail coverage has previously been reported to be most abundant (such as the Midwest, northeast and northwest regions). The study authors concluded Our findings indicate that the diurnal temperature range averaged across the United States was increased during the aircraft-grounded period, despite large variations in the amount of cloud associated with mobile weather systems. We argue that the absence of contrails was responsible for the difference between a period of above-normal but unremarkable DTR and the anomalous conditions that were recorded. Discussion First, it is important to point out that the observed post-9/11 elevation in temperature is not one-dimensional. While clouds, including aviation-associated contrails may lower temperature by reflecting solar radiation off the planet in what is known as the albedo effect, they may also raise temperature by blanketing trapped heat preventing its nighttime radiative dissipation. In fact, NASAs Earth Observatory states that NASA scientists have found that cirrus clouds, formed by contrails from aircraft engine exhaust, are capable of increasing average surface temperatures enough to account for a warming trend in the United States that occurred between 1975 and 1994. The point, however, is that aviation-associated weather does profoundly affect temperature. It is not necessary to believe in clandestine geoengineering programs, or malevolently dispensedchemical trails, in order to see the effect that modern day aviation is having visibly on our skies. Billions of pounds of jet fuel are burned each year, adding a vast amount (albeit mostly invisible) of chemical pollution to our environment. While the mainstream still considers the persistent condensation trails formed by jets to be a harmless and ephemeral, a growing sector of the public is increasingly concerned about the chemtrails they are seeing blanketing the sky a term, in fact, which generates millions of searches and web page results through Google, but is equated with conspiracy theory viaautomatic redirection on sites like Wikipedia or Dictionary.com. Considering the results of the Nature article, there can be little doubt that these trails are having a profound effect on weather right now, and such a profound one, that within just three days of their cessation, a massive temperature anomaly occurred over a surface area of 9,326,410 sq km, the land mass of the United States. If, and thats a big IF, these temperature anomalies are a result of the absence of only jet exhaust, which we are told are mostly water vapor, the unintended cloud-producing effects of commercial aviation taken in its totality is already (unintentionally) a global form of geoengineering qua effects. Simply viewing a satellite image (example above) of commercial jet paths reveals how artificial clouds are now overtaking natural ones. Since the 1990s, climatologists like Jane Long and Julio Friedman have advocated cooling the Earth through solar radiation management (SRM), which proposes injecting sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere. The sulfur clouds would block sunlight, imitating the cooling effects of volcanos. Advocates suggest that geo-engineering is not only cost-effective, but also the only realistic solution to the problem of global warming. The idea that solar radiation management is our only option is based on two premises: First, SRM assumes that the climate is warming due to greenhouse gases building up, especially CO2. Second, that we cannot (will not) stop greenhouse gas emission, and the CO2 stays trapped in the upper atmosphere indefinitely. However, other researchers are skeptical. A new documentary called Skywatcher: Contrails, Chemtrails and Artificial Clouds (public release 9-11-2012) offers a completely different perspective. The producer, Dave Dahl, asserts that we have missed the most important factor in climate change models: aircraft. Climate modeling has started to include detailed studies of the effects of artificial clouds, which cool the ground during the daytime. Because of this, many people believe that covert SRM programs are already in full force. But clouds have a warming effect when they blanket the Earth at night, blocking the heat from escaping back into space. For this reason, clouds can cause overall warming, even though they bock sunlight during the daytime. But according to Dahl, the immediate problem we face from climate change is global drying, not global warming, and our efforts to modify the weather with aircraft are toward the purpose of precipitation enhancement, not SRM. Furthermore, he asserts that artificial clouds created by aircraft are the cause of climate change, and our efforts to modify the weather are an aggravation, not a solution. Governments worldwide are concerned about drought as the arid regions of the planet become even drier. But Dahl says todays precipitation enhancement programs are worsening the problem of climate change, and even in the best-case scenarios, we will not be able to meet our growing water needs through weather modification. I think its this simple, said Dahl in an interview. Clouds affect the weather and the climate. We are making artificial clouds. So yes, we are changing the climate, and this movie shows that clouds made by jets are accelerating these changes far more than the buildup of CO2 or methane, and are in fact the primary factor in anthropogenic climate change.

1	Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez found a way to inject some excitement into baseball and make the slow month of October interesting last Sunday when he announced that he would opt out of his quarter-of-a-billion dollar contract with New York in order to become a free agent this offseason. The unusually slow month, the only interesting point of which was a seemingly unending array of baseball gamessome of which even went past their usual nine-inning limitwas very nearly a complete disappointment for the league. Now, however, the clutch statement by Rodriguez has inspired fan interest once again and has many fans and members of the baseball media calling Rodriguez 'a contemporary Mr. October.' 'Thank you, A-Rod,' said ESPN's Peter Gammons, who left a baseball game in Denver between the Boston Red Sox and the Colorado Rockies immediately after hearing the news Sunday and flew to Legends Field in Tampa to get comments from Yankees front man Hank Steinbrenner. 'We desperately needed something to get us out of the never-ending drudgery that is fall baseball. This is a real treat. ' The announcement, made during the late innings of what thankfully and at long last turned out to be the final game of the 2007 season, came as a welcome respite to many. For the past month, baseball fans around the nation endured the interminable and repetitive process of determining the two league champions, followed by the predictable coronation of one overall champion. 'A-Rod's decision about free agency is what I have been waiting for all October,' Boston resident Nat Boyle said. 'Would A-Rod forfeit the remaining $91 million on his contract? Would the Texas Rangers be responsible for subsidizing $30 million of his salary? I mean, ever since I was a kid, that's what October has been all about.' Boyle's statement echoed the sentiments of millions and millions of fans watching the final baseball game on television, who, following Rodriguez's disclosure of his future plans were delighted by endless commentary on the situation by Fox's Joe Buck and Tim McCarver. According to viewers, both Buck and McCarver thankfully talked for inning after exhilarating inning about what team Rodriguez might play for next year, what he must have been thinking to walk away from a $30 million annual salary, and what his decision meant for the future of the New York Yankeesa team that was not playing baseball at the time of the announcement and is not scheduled to play another professional baseball game until April 2008. 'I was dozing off there in the eighth [inning] right after I think some guy hit a home run to bring us within one run of tying,' said Colorado resident Russ Gamble, who was in attendance at Coors Field at the time of the announcement. 'But then my buddy nudged me, told me the news about A-Rod, and I was like, 'Man, this is fucking incredible!' I was literally on the edge of my seat thinking about where he might end up in 2008. Cubs? Tigers? Red Sox? Oh man, if I were the Red Sox, A-Rod would be my number-one priority.' Added Gamble: 'Someday, I can tell my kid that I was at some baseball game when [Rodriguez's agent] Scott Boras sent an e-mail to the Associated Press saying that A-Rod had just opted out of the final three years on his 10-year, $252 million contract.' According to other fans in attendance, the entire stadium was 'simply electric' from the moment of Rodriguez's announcement until the last out of the game, at which point many stated they became 'extremely depressed' upon the realization that Rodriguez had very little chance of ending up in a Rockies uniform. However, no matter where he eventually plays, Rodriguez's October legacy is now assured. 'Two things you can always bank on in October,' ESPN's Baseball Tonight host Tim Kurkjian said. 'One, baseball is thankfully almost over. And two, Alex Rodriguez will always be available to provide the fans with the kind of off-field heroics for which he has become so famous. Now, his contract belongs to the ages.' 
3	Why the IRS Apology for Asset Seizure is MeaninglessJoe Wright The culprit, he asserts, is a Congress that has enacted legislation in direct contradiction to the Constitution, enabling the IRS to operate with minimal restraint, empty oversight, and a complete reversal of American principles. The fact is: we are all presumed innocent until proven guilty but the permission that Congress has granted to the IRS end-runs that principle and instead embraces authoritarianism. Whats worse, is that similar to police who operate under civil asset forfeiture laws, 25% of what the IRS seizes goes straight into agency coffers (from an agency with an annual budget already north of $10 billion). Clearly this creates an incentive to violate the rights of citizens, and only strengthens the likelihood that this practice will flourish. From TechDirt: Heres the brain-bleeding explanation of IRSs civil forfeiture program. Civil forfeiture is an in rem proceeding against the property itself, not the owner of property. Civil forfeiture is a process that is separated from, and not dependent on, a criminal prosecution. Civil forfeiture can proceed administratively or judicially. Predictably, this has led to rampant abuse. The recently cited number of 147 targeted business over the course of a single year merely scratches the surface: According to the Institute for Justice, the Department of Justices Asset Forfeiture Fund held $93.7 million of seized assets in 1986. In 2008, that fund was greater than $1 billion Forcing the IRS to apologize is not a real solution from Congress; it means nothing without completely erasing the unconstitutional power the IRS has been given. authoritarian (noun) of, relating to, or favoring a concentration of power in a leader or an elite not constitutionally responsible to the people. Merriam-Webster Cant get any clearer than that. Related Article: Recently by Joe Wright: 
3	Industrial Hemp Amendment Makes It Into Farm Billselfnews Post Originally introduced by Representatives Jared Polis (D-CO), Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), the amendment allows colleges and universities, and now also State Agriculture Departments per the conference committee revisions, to grow hemp for academic or agricultural research purposes, but applies only to states where industrial hemp farming is already legal under state law. The full text of the bill may be found at: http://www.votehemp.com/FarmBill. Although I strongly opposed the Republican Farm Bill, I was pleased to see that the bipartisan amendment that I offered with Representatives Blumenauer and Massie was included in the final bill that passed the House of Representatives today, said Rep. Polis. This commonsense amendment will allow colleges and universities to grow and cultivate industrial hemp for academic and agricultural research purposes in states where industrial hemp cultivation is already legal. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the Senate to ensure that this language becomes law. This is an important victory for farmers, manufacturers, and consumers in Kentucky and across the country. Our amendment paves the way for production of industrial hemp by first allowing Americas academic and research institutions to demonstrate that hemp and the products derived from hemp present a great economic opportunity for our country, said Rep. Massie. The inclusion of our industrial hemp amendment in the farm bill reflects widespread support for cultivating industrial hemp and proves Congress can work together in a bipartisan fashion to help the American economy at a time when creating jobs is a national priority. With the U.S. hemp industry estimated at over $500 million in annual retail sales and growing, a change in federal law to allow for colleges and universities to grow hemp for research would mean that we will finally begin to regain the knowledge that unfortunately has been lost over the past fifty years, says Vote Hemp President, Eric Steenstra. The American Farm Bureau Federation announced their opposition to the controlled substance classification of hemp earlier this month, and now passage of this amendment means America can get on track to once again become the predominant producer and manufacturer of hemp-one of the most versatile and ecological industrial crops on the planet. In addition to the Farm Bill amendment, two standalone industrial hemp bills have been introduced in the 113th Congress so far. H.R. 525, the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2013, was introduced in the U.S. House on February 6, 2013. The companion bill, S. 359, was introduced in the U.S. Senate soon thereafter on February 14, 2013. The bills define industrial hemp, exclude it from the definition of marihuana in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), and give states the exclusive authority to regulate the growing and processing of the crop under state law. If passed, the bills would remove federal restrictions on the domestic cultivation of industrial hemp, defined as the non-drug oilseed and fiber varieties of Cannabis. The full text of the bills, as well as their status and co-sponsors, can also be found athttp://VoteHemp.com/legislation. To date, thirty-two states have introduced pro-hemp legislation and twenty have passed pro-hemp legislation. Ten states (California, Colorado, Kentucky, Maine, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, Vermont, Washington and West Virginia) have defined industrial hemp as distinct and removed barriers to its production. Three states (Hawaii, Kentucky and Maryland) have passed bills creating commissions or authorizing research. Nine states (California, Colorado, Illinois, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Vermont and Virginia) have passed resolutions. And eight states (Arkansas, Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota and Vermont) have passed study bills. However, despite state authorization to grow hemp, farmers in those states still risk raids by federal agents, prison time, and property and civil asset forfeiture if they plant the crop, due to the failure of federal policy to distinguish non-drug oilseed and fiber varieties of Cannabis(i.e., industrial hemp) from psychoactive drug varieties (i.e., marihuana). Vote Hemp is a national, single-issue, non-profit organization dedicated to the acceptance of and a free market for low-THC industrial hemp and to changes in current law to allow U.S. farmers to once again grow the agricultural crop. More information about hemp legislation and the crops many uses may be found atwww.VoteHemp.com or www.TheHIA.org.

1	Citing his long-held enthusiasm for military history, mid-22nd-century father Myron Orkney confirmed Thursday that he eagerly watches Iraq War documentaries as often as he can. I just saw the most fascinating holovid on the Second Battle of Fallujah the other day, and just last week there was this great three-part profile on General Tommy Franks that I watched in one sitting, said the 58-year-old father of two, who noted that he also owns a box set of nine neocortex insertion discs that chronicle the long-ago conflict in depth using archival photographs and actual letters from soldiers on the front lines. It certainly was a different time back then. Not only did they have troops who were actually physically on site during battles, but a lot of those guys went into combat without limb-regeneration technologies or even body armor. Can you imagine that? One of these days Im going to take the whole family to the Holy Islamic Caliphate of Iraq so we can tour all the historic battle sites. Orkney added that although he could happily sit and view a whole weekend of documentaries on the early 21st-century conflict, he does not enjoy any of the popular romantic period dramas set during the quaint, old-fashioned Iraq War era that his wife loves. 
2	Oprah Claims White People Are The Cause Of Racism In America Oprah Winfrey made some shocking comments in a recent interview with BBC, when she alluded that the only reason someone wouldnt like President Barack Obama is if they were a racist. When the interviewer asked Oprah if she thought people were against Obama because he was black, she responded, Theres no question. She went on to say that she thinks theres a level of disrespect for the office that occurs. And that occurs in some cases because hes African American. Theres no question about that. And its the kind of thing no one ever says, buy everybody is thinking. Apparently Oprah isnt aware that her comments dont set her apart. Instead, they group her with a slew of Obama supporters that claim that disapproval of the president stems from either religious or racial discrimination. And she clearly hasnt paid attention to stations like MSNBC or celebrities like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. She certainly isnt alone in her accusations, but continued on to make a statement about racisms in general, stating that As long as people can be judged by the color of their skin, problems not solved. So when does Oprah see racism coming to an end? There are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism, Oprah said, and they just have to die. Thats right, according to Oprah, when everyone who ever had a racist ancestor dies, America will be set free from all of its problems. What do you think of Oprahs shocking comments? 
3	Fluoride Cocktail: The Elites Elixir of DeathPeter Paul Parker As reported even in the mainstream, Dr. Jacques Benveniste discovered certain scientific properties of waterthat cannot be explained conventionally. He found that water has a memory that we can digitally record. Also of interest here is that Dr. Masaru Emoto has proven that water is affected by thought. So what is this life-sustaining liquid on our planet? I am sure there are many more exciting discoveries for us to uncover. So why in the name of goodness was Sodium Fluoride added to our drinking water en masse? The story of Edward Bernays propaganda campaign to get Sodium Fluoride into our drinking water is well documented. This action should be understood and researched, as it really does start to uncover the mass mind control we are under from the TV and corporate media outlets. This is all to protect the self termed Elite class of people, to maintain their control on the common man, and to carry on living in a manner of great privilege, at our expense. Once you understand this position, then you can see why Sodium Fluoride was introduced into the water. It truly is The Elites Elixir of Death. It is also found in many other substances such as toothpaste and insecticides, for example. We are ingesting this toxin without even knowing about it. I am pleased to report that Walter Graham has agreed to be an adviser to the Committee of 100 Ministry of Health department on Sodium Fluoride and Electro Magnetic Frequencies. I asked him What are the detrimental effects of consuming Sodium Fluoride? To understand fluoride and fluoridation, let me start with a summary of the issues it raises, followed by an outline of the main issues: Firstly, it is a breach of Human Rights to drug a population against its will. Secondly, fluoride is not what the government is dumping in British drinking water. They use hydrofluosilicic acid, the toxic waste of the fertilizer and aluminum industries, which is contaminated with lead, mercury, arsenic, uranium, strontium, chromium, aluminum and 22 other cumulative substances including fluoride. The government pretends this chemical cocktail is fluoride and that it has no side effects other than Dental fluorosis, which is characterized by pitting, white flecks and brown staining of developing teeth. Typically 50% of any fluoridated area gets this damage to their teeth. There are in fact thousands of published studies proving harm and none proving fluoride safe. The side effects range from thyroid dysfunction, irritable bowel syndrome, bone damage, cancer, neurological damage and lower IQ. This is the reason why 98% of Europe has rejected fluoridation. Since 99% of the water is lost in underground leaks, used by industry and farming, as well as flushing toilets, it is economically senseless as well. This is legalized dumping on a massive scale, without any environmental impact study or proof of safety. Lastly the dose can not be controlled as it is in all food and drinks using the water supply, as well as toothpaste, mouth wash, drops, tablets, chewing gum, used as a killing agent in pesticides, herbicides and rat poison, coal burning, unleaded petrol fumes, prozac, rohypnol, etc., thereby accumulating in bones, the pineal gland and other tissue. Fluoride is more toxic than lead and its forced addition to water is an affront to humanity. DENTAL FLUOROSIS The one side effect the government do admit to is Dental fluorosis, which 50% of the population get, in any fluoridated area. The following dental fluorosis photo shows how much structural damage fluoride causes. Amazingly the government claim that fluoride MIGHT reduce dental caries in a few children, while giving 50% of the entire population a new oral disease that is a sign of skeletal poisoning! As the teeth are the only visible part of the skeleton, if it is doing damage to the teeth isntit possible that it is also doing damage to the bones? FLUORIDE BRAIN DAMAGE What do pesticides, herbicides, rat poison, anesthetics, Sarin nerve gas, Rohypnol (the date rape drug), and Prozac have in common? They all work on the central nervous system and they contain FLUORIDE! A recent Harvard University study has shown that fluoride can lower childrens IQ. It is the 36th study to find a link to lowered IQs in fluoridated areas. Here is the opening line from a Chinese IQ study: Do we really want to allow the unaccountable government to dump fluoride acid into our drinking water with proven side-effects like this! Or should we get active and bring this issue to our politicians, churches, unions, schools and any other group that will help before this madness goes ahead. POISON WARNING All US toothpaste tubes have a poison warning on them by Federal law. Our tube says; keep out of the reach of children supervise brushing dont swallow use no more than a pea-sized amount. The US tube continues on with; IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOW MORE THAN THE PEA SIZED AMOUNT, CONTACT A POISON CONTROL CENTER IMMEDIATELY! The reason this warning appears is because there is enough fluoride in a tube of toothpaste to kill a child! The amount in the tube is 1/5th of a level teaspoon. Amazingly, fluoride is a cumulative poison and is more toxic than lead. However, you have a choice whether you use it or not. Once it gets dumped in your drinking water all choice goes out the window. What they are proposing to dump in is not fluoride it is hydrofluorosilicic acid. Which is the toxic waste of the phosphate fertilizer and aluminium and nuclear industries. It has uranium, strontium, lead, arsenic, mercury, aluminum, and 25 other contaminants, as well as toxic fluoride. It is a toxic cocktail being promoted as FLUORIDE. They get away with this because the government and industry are keeping you in the dark and getting you to pay for their toxic waste, which would cost them money to safely bury it. EU FLUORIDE 98% of Europe has banned or rejected water fluoridation. Why, dont they want good teeth? A lot of European countries have better teeth than the Republic of Ireland, who have been fluoridated for 45 years! What is worse, Spain and Holland have a fluoride toxic dumping problem caused by their industries and their solution is to ship it to Britain and Ireland and get you to eat it! Holland stopped adding fluoride after a group of doctors carried out a double-blind study proving that fluoride caused osteoporosis and arthritic pains, IBS, thyroid dysfunction, skin rashes and dental damage called Dental fluorosis. After these doctors ended fluoridation, they fought on and got the Constitution rewritten to prevent fluoride from ever being added again! TOXIC WASTE OF MONEY Economically, fluoridation makes no sense. The water department admit to losing 40% of its water in underground leaks that is 40% of our tax money wasted! Out of the 60% thats left, industry and farming use 7/8ths of the water more tax money wasted! Out of the 1/8th that comes into your house, you drink 1%. The rest is flushed down the toilet, washing clothes, dishes, etc. The small target audience of children with the really bad teeth make up 3% of the population. So the massive dumping of fluoride acid into our water is a total waste of our taxes. Most importantly, fluoridation is a breach of FREEDOM of CHOICE. Why should you drink someone elses drug for the rest of your life just because a small group of kids dont brush their teeth? This is a breach of European Human Rights, but your government doesnt care because they havent signed up to them. FLUORIDE FACTS Im writing this article to help the Committee of 100 warn as many people as possible of this impending disaster. We need another form of government that doesnt give in to pressure from rich industries and put our health at risk. Join groups fighting fluoride and help stop this before it gets going! Walter Graham gives a very comprehensive and easy to understand argument on why we shouldnt have fluoride in our water. I also asked Dounne Alexander, another advisor to the Ministry of Health, about her knowledge on the use of fluoride and she answered with this FLUORIDE IN WATER The best way to remove fluoride and 99% of all impurities from our drinking water is by reverse osmosis filtration. Our water supply is so heavily polluted, plus as its essential to drink PURE Water, I always recommend reverse osmosis filter. Fresh Water Filter manufacturers we use, give 15% discount to our customers. Therefore, if your readers quote GRAM033377, they will also receive the discount (www.freshwaterfilter.com : TEL 0208 558 7495). Additionally activated Charcoal Powder will also remove fluoride from our body. Ive included a short extract on fluoride below. Its not only in our drinking water but also toothpaste and mouthwash. FLUORIDE POISONING So why is it being including in our drinking water, toothpaste mouthwash? Exactly, why is fluoride being added to our drinking water? We are looking for activists who want to start up a campaign to bring fluoride awareness to the masses.

1	Marking a major breakthrough in the study of highly charged atmospheres and intense fields of emotional instability, scientists at Stanford University announced Thursday they had synthesized an entirely new and extremely volatile form of romantic relationship. According to project head Dr. Stuart Barnard, this highly combustible pairing was created by taking two wildly incompatible people24-year-old test subjects Colin Buckner and Lisa Mullinsand then rapidly colliding their personalities together until they briefly formed an unstable bond. Our experiment succeeded beyond our wildest expectations, said Barnard, noting that all prior evidence suggested Buckner and Mullins were completely wrong for each other and should never be together. By combining a high-intensity, type-A male with an overly reactive, anxiety-ridden female, we managed to create an attraction between two opposing forces that released unprecedented levels of exploitation and aggression. After designing a meticulous replication of a modern-day living room in which to study the relationship, scientists reportedly observed phenomena such as intense bickering and shouting that could last an entire evening, as well as elevated levels of pent-up mutual resentment capable of combustion at any moment. Barnard told reporters that the newly discovered romantic bond could only exist under carefully controlled laboratory conditionsand then for no more than several minutes at a time. As soon as the relationship forms, it immediately starts to decay, Barnard said. The sheer frequency with which the subjects are able to interrupt one another just so they can make insincere apologies for hurtful statements that they obviously do not regret even the slightest bit surpasses anything we anticipated. Inevitably, they both break down, and the bonded pair reverts back to its constituent parts, Barnard added. Researchers confirmed they are still grappling with the inner workings of the synthesized codependent relationship, explaining they do not yet fully understand the opposing on again and off again states between which it vacillates violently, unpredictably, and often very loudly. But the most perplexing phenomenon, they said, is how the relationship, when operating in a vacuum, can continue generating large quantities of bitterness out of what appears to be nothing. Our working hypothesis is that the two subjects super-massive egos somehow interact to produce a polarizing field that transforms very small, almost undetectable disagreements into huge arguments, said Barnard, who speculated that if it could exist outside the safety of the laboratory, the relationship would immediately destroy Buckner and Mullins social lives. And whereas a stable couple would talk through a given problem like reasonable adults, these two invariably blow it up into a whole big thing. For instance, when one person accepts a party invitation on behalf of a couple even though the other member of the couple does not wish to attend, the normal response would be to have an honest discussion about it, he continued. But with our test subjects what we instead observed was a cascading chain-reaction of blame and accusation that exploded in spectacular fashion, humiliating both in front of all their friends. The research team also announced that in a follow-up study it would try to introduce the relationship to Mullins parents, an experiment Barnard described as so hazardous that it would need to be conducted on a remote and uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean.

2	University Kicks Out Delta Force War Hero For This SICKENING Reason Jerry Boykin is a Christian. For nine years, the retired lieutenant general has taught leadership and ethics at Hampden-Sydney Collegeand all-male school base din Virginia. He has a reputation for being loved and respected by students. But he will not be returning to the classroom this fall. Hes been fired. Keep in mind, this is a man who was one of the original members of Delta Force, and once commanded all of the U.S. Armys Green Berets. He served the nation for more than 36 years. But apparently, being politically correct is more important than all of that. In March, Gen. Boykin delivered a speech to conservatives, tackling the issue about the new transgender bathroom policy. The first man who goes into the restroom with my daughter will not have to worry about surgery, he joked. Of course, LGBT activists did not find that funny. I never said homosexuals. I never said transgenders, Boykin commented. I was really talking about these perverts who would use this as a way to get into the bathrooms with our wives and daughters. They claimed I was calling for violence against transgenders, he told reporters at Fox News. Obviously, it is not true. It was a figure our speech. It was meant to be humorous and it was humorous to the audience. Boykin also claims he was not given a chance to defend himself. The school maintains that the concerns about Jerry Boykins comments were not the determining factor in this decision. What do you think? Was it wrong to punish Boykin for exercising freedom of speech? 
3	Dr. Craig Spencer: Ebola? Flu? Hospital food? Nothing?Jon Rappoport He begins feeling fatigued, he takes his temp. 100.3. He makes a call. The hazmat army arrives and rushes him to Bellevue. The doctors announce: Ebola. On what basis? Unknown. What specific diagnostic tests did they run? Unknown. Can we examine those tests, in great detail, and the results? Fat chance. Was Spencer given an antibody test? Its notorious for coming up with false-positives, because it reacts on the basis of factors that have nothing to do with the virus being tested for. And even if that doesnt happen, an antibody test says nothing about whether the patient is sick, has been sick, or will get sick. It merely indicates he had come in contact with the virus. Traditionally, a positive antibody test was taken to mean the persons immune system warded off the virus successfully. Not any longer. The science has been turned upside down, for no good reason. Now, a positive test=the patient has the disease. Absurd. Was Spencer given a PCR test? Also notorious for errors, and coming up with irrelevant findings, the PCR, even if done perfectly, says nothing about whether the patient has enough of a given virus in his body to cause illness. The PCR works with miniscule amounts of sample-material from the patient. Was the Ebola virus actually isolated directly from Spencers blood? No reason to think so. This necessary test is rarely done. And on top of that, there should also be a titer test, which indicates how much of a given virus is in the patients bodybecause there must be millions and millions of active virus present to even begin to say it can cause illness. The titer test is almost never done. Without proper diagnostic tests, there is no reason under the sun to say Spencer has Ebola. Fatigue? 100.3 temperature? There are thousands of possible reasons for those symptoms. We do know the CDC favors the PCR test, which it ran on the Dallas Ebola patient. Again, it is unreliable, useless, and misleading. On top of this, Spencer was given a blood transfusion at Bellevue Hospital. Transfusions are immunosuppressive. Doctors made a big deal out of the fact that Spencer developed gastrointestinal symptoms after being admitted to an iso ward. They arbitrarily labeled these symptoms the next phase of Ebola. That is a fatuous diagnosis. Obviously, such symptoms can spring from a number of causes, not the least of which is hospital food. There is, however, a payoff for diagnosing Craig Spencer with Ebola. It gives credence to the cooked-up narrative about a dangerous global epidemic spreading from West Africa to other countries. That is the official storyline, and it must be repeated, over and over, by governments and public health agencies, no matter what. As for the truthare you kidding? The truth has nothing to do with the official storyline.

2	Did Anyone Notice What Hillary Did In The Middle Of The Debate... Watch Closely [VIDEO] The first presidential debate took place this week, and Hillary Clintons campaign was quick to claim a victory. One thing was clear to all: moderator Lester Holt went extremely easy on the former secretary of state the whole night. Further examination of the debate footage could reveal why. It appears Hillary may have suffered yet another health scare on camera. Clinton seemed to slip up while delivering he opening remarks at the debate. Take a look at the 3:37 mark in the video below. We also have to make the economy fairer, Clinton said. That starts with raising the national minimum wage and also guarantee.finally equal pay for womens work. I also want to see more companies do profit sharing. This isnt the only time Clinton has had trouble making it through a sentence. Its also not the first time shes appeared less-than-well on stage. What do you think? Do we need answers about Hillarys condition? 
2	16 Year Old Black Trump Supporter DESTROYS BLM Moron In Front Of Everyone [VIDEO] In a recent video shot by Infowars in Atlanta, a 16-year-old black Trump supporter goes up against a Black Lives Matter activist who repeatedly claims that Donald Trumps wife Melania is an illegal immigrant. The BLM aggressively confronts the Trumps supporter, claiming that the Republican presidential nominee is a racist and hes against you! He wants to send you back to Africa, thats what he said, the BLM support asserts, before calling the young man a disgrace to America. Finally, a young girl steps in to point out that Trump only wants to deport illegal aliens, not all Mexicans. The BLM activist then implies that Melania is not legalshes from Europe. She has U.S. citizenship, the Trump supporter pushes back. Just because she was born in another country does not mean she has illegal citizenship. With no arguments left, the BLM makes the outrageous claim that Trump is linked to the KKK. The Democratic Party founded the KKK by the way, just saying, she concludes. Watch the full interaction below and tell us what you think. Do you applaud this girl for taking an educated stand against this protester and his bullying? 
3	Understanding Indefinite Detention in the 2013 NDAA - Part 2Ben Swann 
1	Following Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahus heated objections to the nuclear deal struck between the United States and Iran, American officials announced Tuesday that they were calming the upset head of government by treating him to a nice, big shipment of ballistic missiles. Bibi always gets a little cranky when he sees us talking to Iran, but a few dozen short-range surface-to-surface missiles usually cheer him right up, said State Department spokesperson Daniel Goldman, adding that the shipment of MGM-140 ATACMS missiles should be enough to settle the sullen Israeli leader down at least for the deals crucial early implementation stages. Of course, we try not to spoil him by giving him a whole new tactical ballistics delivery system every single time he throws a fit, but our guys pretty good at getting his way. At least well have a couple months of peace and quiet around here. Goldman went on to say that the U.S. was saving its shipment of missile defense system components in case Netanyahu got worked up during Israel-Palestine peace negotiations later this year. 
3	The Case of the Missing TerroristsPaul Craig Roberts Who is Jose Rodriguez? He is the criminal who ran the CIA torture program. Most of his victims were not terrorists or even insurgents. Most were hapless individuals kidnapped by warlords and sold to the Americans as terrorists for the bounty paid. If Rodriguezs identity was previously a secret, it is no more. He has been on CBS 60 Minutes taking credit for torturing Muslims and using the information allegedly gained to kill leaders of al Qaeda. If terrorists were really the problem that Homeland Security, the FBI and CIA claim, Rodriguezs name would be a struck through item on the terrorists hit list. He would be in his grave. So, also, would be John Yoo, who wrote the Justice (sic) Department memos giving the green light to torture, despite US and International laws prohibiting torture. Apparently, Yoo, a professor at the Boalt School of Law at the University of California, Berkeley, was ignorant of US and international law. And so was the US Department of Justice (sic). Notice that Rodriguez, The Torturer of the Muslims, doest have to hide. He can go on national television, reveal his identity, and revel in his success in torturing and murdering Muslims. Rodriguez has no Secret Service protection and would be an easy mark for assassination by terrorists so capable as to have, allegedly, pulled off 9/11. Another easy mark for assassination would be former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who staffed up the Pentagon with neoconservative warmongers such as Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith, who in turn concocted the false information used to justify the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. Rumsfeld himself declared members of al Qaeda to be the most vicious and dangerous killers on earth. Yet Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Feith, Richard Perle, together with neoconservative media propagandists, such as William Kristol and Max Boot, have been walking around safe for years unmolested by terrorists seeking revenge or bringing retribution to those responsible for as many as 1,000,000 Muslim deaths. Remember the deck of cards that the Bush regime had with Iraqi faces? If terrorists had a similar deck, all of those named above would be high value targets. Yet, there has not been a single attempt on any one of them. Strange, isnt it, that none of the above are faced with a terrorist threat. Yet, the tough, macho Navy Seals who allegedly killed Osama bin Laden must have their identity kept hidden so that they dont become terrorist targets. These American supermen, highly trained killers themselves, dont dare show their faces, but Rodriguez, Rumsfeld, and Condi Rice can walk around unmolested. Indeed, the Seals lives are so endangered that President Obama gave up the enormous public relations political benefit of a White House ceremony with the heroic Navy Seals. Very strange behavior for a politician. A couple of weeks after the alleged bin Laden killing, the Seals unit, or most of it, was wiped out in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan. If you were a Muslim terrorist seeking retribution for Washingtons crimes, would you try to smuggle aboard an airliner a bomb in your underwear or shoe in order to blow up people whose only responsibility for Washingtons war against Muslims is that they fell for Washingtons propaganda? If you wanted to blow up the innocent, wouldnt you instead place your bomb in the middle of the mass of humanity waiting to clear airport security and take out TSA personnel along with passengers? Terrorists could coordinate their attacks, hitting a number of large airports across the US at the same minute. This would be real terror. Moreover, it would present TSA with an insolvable problem: how can people be screened before they are screened? Or coordinated attacks on shopping malls and sports events? Why should terrorists, if they exist, bother to kill people when it is easy to cause mayhem by not killing them? There are a large number of unguarded electric power substations. Entire regions of the country could be shut down. The simplest disruptive act would be to release large quantities of roofing nails in the midst of rush hour traffic in Boston, New York, Washington DC, Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco. You get the picture: thousands and thousands of cars disabled with flat tires blocking the main arteries for days. Before some reader accuses me of giving terrorists ideas, ask yourself if you really think people so clever as to have allegedly planned and carried out 9/11 couldnt think of such simple tactics, plots that could be carried out without having to defeat security or kill innocent people? My point isnt what terrorists, if they exist, should do. The point is that the absence of easy-to-do acts of terrorism suggests that the terrorist threat is more hype than reality. Yet, we have an expensive, intrusive security apparatus that seems to have no real function except to exercise power over American citizens. In place of real terrorists carrying out easy plots, we have terrorist plots dreamed up by FBI and CIA agents, who then recruit some hapless or demented dupes, bribing them with money and heroic images of themselves, and supplying them with the plot and fake explosives. These are called sting operations, but they are not. They are orchestrations by our own security agencies that produce fake terrorist plots that are then foiled by the security agencies that hatched the plots. Washingtons announcement is always: The public was never in danger. Some terrorist plot! We have never been endangered by one, but the airports have been on orange alert for 11.5 years. The federal judiciary and brainwashed juries actually treat these concocted plots as real threats to American security despite the governments announcements that the public was never in danger. The announcements of the foiled plots keep the brainwashed public docile and amenable to intrusive searches, warrantless spying, the growth of an unaccountable police state, and endless wars. The War on Terror is a hoax, one that has been successfully used to destroy the US Constitution and to complete the transformation of law from a shield of the people into a weapon in the hands of the state. By destroying habeas corpus, due process, and the presumption of innocence, the War on Terror has destroyed our security.

3	Simulated Cybersecurity Threats That Pave the Way for Internet RestrictionsSusanne Posel, Contributor John Brennan, assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism and chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation has planted the concept that a cybersecurity executive order will give the Obama administration power over the future of the internet in ways the passage of legislation would never be able to provide. In a letterto Senator Jay Rockefeller, Brennan said that Obama is exploring issuing an executive order to direct federal agencies to secure the nations critical infrastructure by working with the private sector to develop security standards. Last week, a draftof an executive order was floated across the internet. This version gives the executive branch over-reaching power over the internet, regardless of Congressional approval. Federal agencies will be given new responsibilities concerning protecting infrastructure while the Department of Homeland Security will be empowered to investigate all cyber security issues; yet the language is extremely vague and open to interpretation for the purposes of application. Earlier this month the CIA-sponsored hacker group called Anonymous claimed responsibility for the taking down of hosting provider GoDaddy and several websites hosted by this corporation. This nameless, faceless group took down the Domain Name System (DNS) while a currently undetermined number of customers were affected. This attack servedto increase influence in favor of the idea and necessity of a cybersecurity legislation that would ensure that these nameless, faceless hackers could not be as successful in another attempt to control American commerce on the internet. The code of Flame is nearly identicalto Stuxnet which was used by the former George W. Bush administration. In the mainstream media, cyber warfare is touted as dangerous weaponsthat can cripple geopolitical diplomacy and facilitate conflict in ways that could never manifest in the physical world. Whether it is called Stuxnet, Duqu or Flame, the outcome is expected to be the same. Sabotaging the internet in order to fix it under new control measures that restrict freedoms serves multiple purposes. The US Cybersecurity Response Team statesthat there is no evidence that Flame is related to Stuxnet or Duqu. Yet the Kapersky Lab foundthat this is not only a lie, but there are so many likenesses that these viruses could only have been written by the same developers. To distract the American public from the hacking and cyber-destruction committed by the US government, there is a national call for stricter cybersecurity by the Obama administration. It is the federal government agencies that are empowered to commit cyber-espionage against other nations, while claiming that multi-national corporations, and US infrastructure with assistance of security firms Symantec and McAfee who are facilitatingthe lie. More virusesare cropping up as US government is using cyber technology more widely than previously believed to further its interests in the Middle East. This serves the Zionist agendas as Obama and Netanyahu collaboratedevelop a destructive computer worm to sabotage Irans efforts to make a nuclear bomb. Copyright trollsare adding to the battle over free speech on the internet by submitting a fraudulent DMCA notice of takedown for copyright infringement to a hosting company and force the website owner to remove content without proof of claim. These fake DMCA notices of takedown documents are created by the copyright troll who is intending to remove information with prejudice. Templates for these fake notices can be found on the web. However, the US patent and copyright office has actual federal forms that are legal and binding. Copyright trolls do not file legitimate claims and choose to falsify federal documents because their claims (in most instances) do not hold up in court. They are allegations without proof of claim because there is no legitimate claim to be made. Intellectual property and copyright laws are abused quite regularly by professional trolls by making wild accusations without substantial claim or proof. Copyright trolls litter the court system with frivolous lawsuits based on wild accusations of copyright infringement in order to wear down the victim as well as hoping to squeeze monetary restitution for fraudulent claims. The members of the alternative media as well as readers need to be aware of these individuals who are cloaked in truth yet rife with disinformation. Their intention is to cut off the free flow of information on the internet and stifle voices that are exposing truth for their own selfish gains. The EFF have reportedon copyright trolls that experiment with claiming copyright infringement to extract settlements from individuals. These trolls try to grow businesses out of suing Internet users. Globalist-inspired Microsoft corporation have announcedthat through their Digital Crimes Unit, they have discovered that contrary to reports, malware is not created in factories and that even though they were responsible for manufacturing hard drives with malware already installed, they physical facts can be reasoned away by the findings of their own internal investigations.

'Honestly, all these organs are looking the same to me right now,' said Kelly, calling his mind 'complete mush.' 'I need to take a nice long breather and come back to this with fresh eyes.'

3	911 Truth Movement Gets Organized for Anniversary in NYCThis year, 9/11 activists are more organized than ever for this anniversary of 9/11. One group,GroundZero911.com,is planning guest speakers, concerts, street actions, silent vigils, and other activities. There are many theories as to what actually took place on 9/11, the governments version just being one of them. And as more people find themselves distrustful of the government due to revelations of other lies, more people begin to question the governments account of the attacks that launched the U.S. into wars of aggression and dramatic losses of liberty at home. Just acknowledging that we were lied to about 9/11 is paradigm changing. The fact is that if you do your own independent research, youll find that evidence is not on the governments side. Once the lie is realized and the post-9/11 actions scrutinized, a much more cynical view of U.S. government and its corporate war machine comes rushing into your consciousness never to be expelled. Translation: each new truther is dangerous to the status quo because they oppose foreign wars, the war on terror, and they defend civil liberties. They stand for peace, liberty, justice, transparency and human rights, yet the establishment portrays them as the bad guys. As such, 9/11 truth outreach is the spearhead for the peaceful revolution of ideas. The stated mission of GroundZero911: This movement was started by the victims family members who had questions. Their loved ones were murdered and theyve never been given answers. Its time to demand those answers, to unite together to demand justice. Lets make history this September 11th by coming together in New York City in hopes of the justice weve all been fighting for. Even if a new investigation or justice is unlikely, these events serve a vital function in educating others who may finally be ready to start asking questions.

1	In what officials are calling 'a much-needed policy shift,' the Federal Aviation Administration announced this weekend that it would ban all plane crashes. 'After a careful review of flight data from the past 25 years, we've determined that customers, pilots, and the airlines themselves would benefit significantly from a strictly enforced no-plane-crash policy,' said FAA administrator Randy Babbitt, adding that pilots involved in fiery plane wrecks could face a steep fine or even suspension. 'The practice of crashing an airliner into an ocean or mountain will no longer be tolerated. American consumers deserve better.' According to industry sources, most commercial airlines are planning to fit in as many crashes as possible between now and Jan. 1, when the ban officially goes into effect. 
1	At a loss as to how they could emerge from a weekend of regular-season football without any fresh insight whatsoever, ashamed and humbled members of the sports media admitted to the public Tuesday that they learned absolutely nothing from week 11 of the NFL season. It is with heavy hearts that we announce today that, despite watching the full slate of games on Sunday and Monday, we were unable to draw a single new conclusion about any player, coach, team, or division in the NFL, said Sports Illustrated columnist Peter King, speaking on behalf of John Clayton, Mike Florio, Jay Glazer, Chris Mortensen, and all other sportswriters across the country. We realize that millions of fans count on us every week to tell you how the playoff picture has changed, which quarterbacks should be benched, which teams are poised to make a deep postseason run, and which coaches could be on the hot seat. But we failed you. Not only did we let all of you down, but we let ourselves down as well. All we can do is ask for your forgiveness and do absolutely everything in our power to ensure that something like this never happens again. This is not who we are. King then pleaded with NFL fans to have patience until next Sunday and simply re-read any articles about the major takeaways from week 10 in the meantime. 
2	What Zac Brown Did At His Concert Has His Fans Turning Against Him Zac Brown has given us awesome hit songs that no one can get out their heads. He is an absolutely amazing guitarist and has a beautiful voice. His band stormed onto the scene and has not looked back. His performances are lively and he often enters the crowd as to truly engage with his fans. Usually this is considered a good thing when an artist wants to engage with his fans. At Zacs last concert his actions led to a very unfortunate thing. That thing has turned one of his fans completely against him. When Zac Brown was in Boston he jumped down into the crowd. He jumped down near the handicap section of the audience. When Zac Brown landed a flood of people stormed the handicap section of the concert arena. This left the handicap fans in a very bad place. Karen Perry is a blind woman who is also dependent on a wheelchair. She was sitting in the handicap area when the crowd rushed in. The gate that was supposed to protect her became dislodged and ended up gouging her under her armpit. This trauma was severe and Karen went to the hospital. Karen is now unable to use her arm. Karen is now suing Brown directly for the sum of 75,000 dollars. She is suing for the concert not being set up to support the known propensity of the crowd. Karen decided to sue Brown instead of the arena or his managing company. I believe that if she would have sued the companies she could have asked for more. She definitely deserves compensation for the horrible trauma that she suffered. Neither party has announced a statement but we are expecting one soon. Do you agree with Karen? 
3	National Security Letters Are Unconstitutional, Federal Judge RulesCourt Finds NSL Statutes Violate First Amendment and Separation of Powers A federal district court judge in San Francisco has ruled that National Security Letter (NSL) provisions in federal law violate the Constitution. The decision came in a lawsuit challenging a NSL on behalf of an unnamed telecommunications company represented by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). In the ruling publicly released today, Judge Susan Illston ordered that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) stop issuing NSLs and cease enforcing the gag provision in this or any other case. The landmark ruling is stayed for 90 days to allow the government to appeal. We are very pleased that the court recognized the fatal constitutional shortcomings of the NSL statute, said EFF Senior Staff Attorney Matt Zimmerman. The governments gags have truncated the public debate on these controversial surveillance tools. Our client looks forward to the day when it can publicly discuss its experience. The controversial NSL provisions EFF challenged on behalf of the unnamed client allow the FBI to issue administrative letters on its own authority and without court approval to telecommunications companies demanding information about their customers. The controversial provisions also permit the FBI to permanently gag service providers from revealing anything about the NSLs, including the fact that a demand was made, which prevents providers from notifying either their customers or the public. The limited judicial review provisions essentially write the courts out of the process. The First Amendment prevents the government from silencing people and stopping them from criticizing its use of executive surveillance power, said EFF Legal Director Cindy Cohn. The NSL statute has long been a concern of many Americans, and this small step should help restore balance between liberty and security. EFF first brought this challenge on behalf of its client in May of 2011.

2	Renowned TV Host Calls Michelle Obama A Monkey On Live TV According to recent reports, Rodner Figueroa, an Emmy-winning talk show host is facing backlash after comparing First Lady Michelle Obama to a character from Planet of the Apes. Figueroa reportedly made the remarks during a segment of the show El Gordo Y Law Flaca. The statement was made in reference to the work of makeup artist Paolo Ballesteros, who turned himself into a Michelle Obama lookalike. You know that Michelle Obama looks like shes part of the cast of Planet of the Apes, the film, Figueroa said. If you havent seen the flick, its important to know that the majority of the characters are monkeys. After the statement was made, Figueroas co-host swiftly attempted to cover the situation, but it was already too late. After receiving immense backlash, Figueroa was fired. Yesterday during the entertainment show El Gordo y La Flaca, Rodner Figueroa made comments about First Lady Michelle Obama that were completely reprehensible and in no way reflect the values or opinions of Univision, the company released in a statement. As a result, Mr. Figueroa was fired immediately. What do you think? Did Figueroa deserve to be fired? 
1	According to Nancy Britt, a card she received Monday from friend Colleen Merissee, 46, resembled a thank-you note, but subtly expressed underlying hostility. 'Thank you so much for providing the mini quiches for Michael's going-away party,' Merissee's note read. 'Everyone certainly did try them. Many people commented on how unique they were.' Merissee added that the gift was very generous, considering that Britt stayed at the party for less than an hour.

Let me call what-the-hell's-his face [Indians GM Mark Shapiro] right yeah, right now. Gotta get Parkman back Where's the phone?' Byrd proceeded to roll off the side of the couch and pass out. 
3	South Carolina Church Shooting: Were Dylann Roof Photos Digitally Altered?By James F. Tracy According to the sites tutorialon ELA: Error Level Analysis (ELA) permits identifying areas within an image that are at different compression levels. With JPEG images, the entire picture should be at roughly the same level. If a section of the image is at a significantly different error level, then it likely indicates a digital modification ELA highlights differences in the JPEG compression rate. Regions with uniform coloring, like a solid blue sky or a white wall, will likely have a lower ELA result (darker color) than high-contrast edges. The things to look for: Edges. Similar edges should have similar brightness in the ELA result. All high-contrast edges should look similar to each other, and all low-contrast edges should look similar. With an original photo, low-contrast edges should be almost as bright as high-contrast edges. Textures. Similar textures should have similar coloring under ELA. Areas with more surface detail, such as a close-up of a basketball, will likely have a higher ELA result than a smooth surface. Surfaces. Regardless of the actual color of the surface, all flat surfaces should have about the same coloring under ELA. < As the author emphasizes, [s]imilar textures should have similar coloring under ELA, and all flat surfaces should have about the same coloring under ELA. The fotoforensics.com webmaster further explains on his blog The Hacker Factor: With ELA, you want to compare similar attributes with similar attributes. Each of these areas (surfaces, edges, and textures) may compress at different rates. But in general, all similar surfaces should compress at the same rate. Edges should compress at the same rate as similar edges, and textures should compress at the same rate as similar textures. The following is a forensic image that resulted when employing ELA to the widely-circulated photo of South Carolina Church massacre gunman Dylann Storm Roof wearing his jacket with the historic patches denoting Africas colonial past: ELA reveals areas where the patches appear that suggest a differing compression speed and thus possible manipulation. In other words, the Apartheid-era patches attributed to Roof may have been digitally inserted into the above image to accentuate the narrative of Roofs racist motivations in the tragic slayings. In an era of mass illusion where digital representations can be so easily and convincingly altered to accommodate or bolster a specific story line, the importance of such analysis cannot be understated. Like the Sandy Hook School shootings, the Charleston Church massacre represents an emotionally potent and divisive powder keg, especially because it is positioned to draw on conflicting sets of socio-cultural experience, identity, and history. Yet through individual images such as the above perhaps a larger picture can be discerned. As with Sandy Hook, the June 17 event will be used as a rationale for a raft of government agendas long sought after with the express purpose of keeping the public safe. Such programs can be judiciously considered only after the tremendous government and media-fueled wave of fear and alarm has passed indeed, only after the American public knows what really happened.

3	Corporate Giant Nestl Makes Contradictions Concerning GMOsLisa Garber Nestl Supports Sustainability (Or Not) Nestl has been caught contradicting itself, however. While one of its hands pushes against GMO-labeling, the otherthe Swiss oneis championing sustainable agriculture. Hans Jhr, Nestls corporate head of sustainable agriculture, proclaims that GM isnt the solution to world hunger. There are a lot of new breeding technologies today that dont use GM food. You can do a lot of things without GM. GM per se is not a golden bullet, but may be an interesting tool in the box. While Jhr may have the right idea, Nestl USA isnt cooperating. We have a very simple way of looking at GM: listen to what the consumer wants. If they dont want it in products, you dont put it in them. The problem with that very simple way of looking at GM is that North American consumers dont want GMOs in their food. Back in March, the Food and Drug Administration deleted 1 million signatures on the Just Label It Campaign calling for GMO labeling. In one survey, The Hills Mark Mellman found that voters express almost unanimous support for mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods. Other surveys and polls have revealed at least 89 percent support for labeling. Of course there is no question Nestl is not in favor of GMO labeling. Americans and Canadians arent asking corporations to put GMOs in their food. More likely, many citizens are simply uninformedand the likes of Nestl USA would keep it that way, no matter that Switzerland and dozens of countries and regions have notable restrictions and even bans on GMOs. California will vote on Prop 37 on November 6th and, with luck, pitch the remaining dominoes to fall in favor of healthier, more sustainable food and practices. Additional Sources: Explore More: 
2	Hillary: An Unborn Child Just Hours Before Delivery Does Not Have Constitutional Rights If you want to know exactly what type of person Hillary Clinton is, just watch her most recent interview with The View, where she argued that an unborn child just hours before delivery should have no Constitutional rights. Her comments came just days after she made the controversial claim that unborn children simply do not have any rights granted by the Constitution. I want to ask you about some comments that you made over the weekend on Meet the Press regarding abortion, Paula Faris asked Clinton. You said, quote, the unborn person doesnt have constitutional rights. My question is at what point does someone have constitutional rights, and are you saying that a child, on its due date, just hours before delivery still has no constitutional rights? Under our law, that is the case, Hillary concluded. Of course, she then went on to argue that she supports Roe v. Wade, which makes it the case that unborn children have no rights. Hillary also thinks that women should have the sole decision-making power over the lives of unborn children, no matter what. 
3	Eugenicists Finally Got Sterilants Added to the Drinking WaterCompulsory abortion. Under-the-skin birth control implants. Government authorized reproduction. A Planetary Regime to regulate the population and ration food and resources. A sterilant added to water supplies or food staples. The expansion of mandatory family planning and government enforced population restrictions. For years, overpopulation alarmists have dreamed of a day when the population would be forcibly controlled in a widespread manner. Now it would seem they are passively getting their wish. Is it a happy accident, or a clever second-hand scheme? As Natural News recently reported, a new U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) study published in the journal Scientific Reports has shown that birth control hormones taken by women in this country are being flushed down the toilets and making their way into waterways and winding up in our drinking water. Fish exposed to these hormones are now struggling to reproduce, and are negatively impacted for three generations out the study has shown. Were talking about things like a 30% reduction in fertilization rates and offspring struggling just to survive. A 20% reduction by the third generation. These effects are not short term. And if it is doing that to fish, imagine what it is doing to the population who drinks, cooks, and bathes in tap water replete with the stuff on a daily basis. No one has studied the bioaccumulative effect this situationhas had on the human population here; and since population control seems to be a government national security effort, we arent holding our breath on one any time soon. Considering that fertility clinics have popped up everywhere in the last decade to become a booming business, we can pretty much guess. Its a $2 billion industry in the U.S. each year, and business is booming. According to The Guttmacher Institute, a Planned Parenthood ally, more than 9.7 women in the U.S. take birth control pills on a monthly basis over 16% of the female population aged 15-44. Thats a lot of hormones being dumped in municipal water supplies every day. Traditional filtering methods employed at most water treatment plants dont remove pharmaceuticals including these hormones. Synthetic hormone 17a-ethinylestradiol, or EE2, is the common birth control pill additive that people are consuming in tap water supplies daily without even realizing it. Traditional drip water filters will not get this drug out, either. Its safe to say a large portion of the population men, women and children alike is essentially drinking a sterilant on a daily basis, and thats before even getting to the potential widespread feminization of men. (On a side note, were you aware there was a plot during World War II to feminize Hitler by adding estrogen to his water?) Fertility control agents in water supply was exactly what was listed in the horrifying leaked memowritten toBernard Berelson, president of the Rockefeller-founded Population Council, by Frederick S. Jaffe, vice president of Planned Parenthood World Population,found in Activities Relevant to the Study of Population Policy for the U.S. dated 3/11/69 under the heading Examples of Proposed Measures to Reduce U.S. Fertility, by Universality or Selectivity of Impact. So were things like encourage increased homosexuality and alter image of ideal family size (overpopulation propaganda, anyone?)alongside forced abortions for out-of-wedlock pregnancy and Compulsory sterilization of all who have two children except for a few who would be allowed three. Measures that would be impossible to do through government policy due to public outrage is happening on a population-wide scale as a de facto side effect of our drugged society. While it may not technically be forced mass drugging, the leached chemicals are difficult if not impossible to avoid particularly for average Americans, who have been told to drink 8 glasses of water per day. Kind of eerie, particularly when you consider how giddy it must make those who have quietly advocated these measures for decades. Instead of being able to forcibly add sterilants in the water, people like the Rockefellers through their foundation have spent millions developing birth control pills and pushing them on women across the country and around the world for decades now through family planning programs. The byproduct? Sterilants in the water. (And a society with no future) They finally did it. Aaron and Melissa created TruthstreamMedia.com, where this article first appeared, 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 So now it is contraceptives in tap water, not Roundup/glyphosate in food, water and air cutting down US fertility by 30%? Both. And more. I was going to make a joke saying Monsanto is off the hook b/c now we believe our fertility is down b/c of contraceptives. But you are right, it is both. I am following a TV series on History channel, Aliens. In one episode they said ETs harvest our DNA b/c they cant reproduce. Soon we wont either. Roundup is everywhere. Except of Russia, they banned it. So I guess Earth will be populated by Russians only, in the future. *L* Government, controlled by the banksters, is about to fail. It is parasitic by nature. Good riddance to it. Water distillation units are cheaply available; 4.5 litres per session. they are not very effective against many chemicals without carbon filtering. Make sure the carbon filter is replaced. Carbon filters dont do much at all except change the taste. They dont remove such chemicals as sodium fluoride; the particles are too small. Distillation and reverse osmosis, however, do. the taste changes because the filters remove chemicals. Distillation removes structuring of the water. Only structured water enters your cells. Youcan be bloated while still being cellularly dehydrated. Look into the research of Dr. Gerald Pollock. Carbon filters are not effective by themselves, you misread my post. reverse osmosis filters come with particulate filters and carbon filters in front of the reverse osmosis module. Only structured water enters your cells? Ive been drinking non-filtered distilled water for decades and it seems to hydrate me pretty well, nor am I bloated. No different from rain water. Distillation is very effective without filters. It becomes extremely pure after the boiled water vapor is cooled down in the baffling system to become water again. Adding a filter to the water before it gets to the distiller will make it a bit easier to clean the scale build up in the distiller which will be a little less, but the distillation is what purifies the water, not the charcoal filters. If its a choice between a strict distillation system and a strict filtering system, Ill take the distiller every single time, and you can have the filters. Nuff said. Yes, only structured water enters your cells. Try drinking it and see how much water you eliminate compared to unstructured water. Far lesswater enters your cells if it is not unstructured when you drink it, as the body has to structure it, in order for it to enter the cells. Try drinking distilled water on a fast, and try drinking structured water on a fast to see the difference. You have misunderstood my comments about the filters. Female hormones were known to turn male cod into female cod back in the seventies.Can anyone work out why the increase in homosexuals has increased since the 60s?Before anyone starts I dont care whether anyone is straight or gay ,just do your own thing IN PRIVATE . Its more the propaganda that the media serves than the chemicals, which were not all over. I must throw this out there. We will have to use our brains at some point and figure out a plan to control our own population in order not to see a bust overpopulation leading to lack of resources, and a major die-off that wont be pretty. Our planet is only so big, the sun only gives us so much energy for plants to harness. Just like any mammilian population, without natural predators or other factors keeping our pop in check, we will hit a brick wall at the peak of this multi-millenial boom and enter the bust phase. Face it. Any ideas, o well informed ones? Population isnt the problem,overcrowding and the wasteful huge corporations are the problem. You could fit the entire world population in the borders of Texas. Corporations love the overcrowding, as it lowers the cost of labor through oversupply, and increases dependency. Corporations also waste huge resources, especially water, and they produce the non nutritious foodstuffs that plague the human race. With planning and minimal effort, the U.S. state of Texas is large enough to hold and support the entire current worlds population. Just reduce overcrowding, and outlaw corporations. Overcrowding is a choice, it is not inevitable. Some people seem to not like choice, so they defer to government. My own preference is for a maximum global human population of 5 billions. But my family uses filtered weate (29 times for purity). This planet can easily support 30 Billion people, in luxury for all, with incredibly vast expanses of beautiful natural forest teeming with exotic wild life. Just drop this idiotic, infantile, useless expenditures on aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, It is not the quantity of the population that is the problem. It is the quality of the freaks who claw themselves into political control. Mr Stevens, thank you for your prompt and insightful comment. Notwithstanding, I would still prefer a global maximum of 5 billions of people I honestly dont see the need for more than that. Mr Laibow, I cannot see how any person, group, institution, government What is required is that all available resources are directed to preparing the environment for life to exalt. Every pregnancy is a person with a right to exist in luxury and freedom where behavioral control is a personal obligation to the other kind people around the individual. All sentient humans must have time and resources available to bring a sound moral understanding to all the people around them. The contemptuous wasting of trillions of dollars every year is a roaring indictment on this grotesque political dominant, their mindless bureaucrats I maintain, there is no need to limit the population. The space and resources are virtually infinite. The question is how do we crash this aberrant political super structure? Mr. Stevens, thank you for your kind and insightful remarks, which accurately describe human nature. In his 1934 work of fiction, The Shape of Things To Come, the late Mr. H. G. Wells described an optimum human global population at 2.5 billions; I feel he underestimated the capacity of the globes resources, and I think that 5.0 billions is more realistic. Mr Laibow, thank you for sharing your interesting perspective and I will refrain from adamantly defending my population projection except to say that I firmly believe that the Universe is infinite in all respects and we do not need to constrain healthy growth and, as a means of expressing our gratitude, we could at least assist and facilitate consciousness to increase and enlighten. Culture is the most important aspect. For instance, a culture of I am familiar with 13603 and in my opinion it as a definitive determinate increment in the Bolshevik style take over that America is imminently facing. I see this deliberate extinguishing of wealth in North America and Western Europe and the transfer of the economic dynamo towards SE Asia and Im not too sure that we will have to wait another three decades ( to mid century) to see USA collapsing under the apathetic indifference of its populace. I am very concerned that this psychotic banker cabal is planning to soon initiate their crowning global conflagration. In my view there is only one political super power on this planet and everything else is diversion, confusion and entertainment. This super power was unequivocally established between 1910 and 1920 with the destruction of Germany, the complete subjugation of Russia with transfer of its wealth and the establishment of the USA Federal Reserve. The final blow to independence and sovereignty culminated with the utter annihilation of Germany, Italy and Japan in the 40s. The cold war between Nato and Soviets was only a mechanism to beguile the masses and more importantly to indelibly establish the global military All of it premeditated and by design. What Im saying, in my opinion, is that China is also controlled and it will gain dominant super power status only if the principal dominant decides to make China its lair. Any vestige of sovereignty of Islamic states is being neutralised in this decade. All those countries who think they are republics are definitely not. They are all subjects of the dominant. To me it appears that there is a gradual take over around the entire globe and I suspect there might be a complete clamp down on the entire human race in the not to distant future. Who or what the principle agency is to engineer this is above me. I certainly will contact you soon but I am posting this as a reply as a continuation of the thread purely for interest sake. Mr. Stevens, thank you for your kind and thoughtful response. Its nice to learn that someone else is familiar with EO 13603, and sees its implications in the same light that I do. I think an important difference is that as an American living abroad (in SE Asia), my wealth ahd person are beyond its reach (if Ayn Rand were to land at Manila Airport today, shed be denied entry as a Bolshevik redistributionist; my wife and I are on the fringes of a politcally powerful family, and Ive gotten to know some politically powerful people; what passes for a iberal left in this country would be considered ultra-reactionary in the U.S. Get rid of government. it wont happen overnight, but it can be done. The present school system must be abolished. It focuses on conformity and compliance. They cant possibly control all of us, so they get us to police ourselves. The only true capital any government has is the cooperation of the populace. Stop cooperating with them, and the system folds like a house of cards in a windstorm. They depend on us. Stop using their money to the greatest extent possible. Self sufficiency is their enemy. Voting changes nothing. It merely provides the appearance of legitimacy. Again I do agree with you, but those freaks in control have all the resources to assembly giant mercenary armies to obliterate and terrorise any form dissent or non-compliance. (Like theyve done in Libya where they have gone on to spitefully destroy the vast water reticulating system that was even referred to as the 8th wonder of the world) Without some form of directed coherence governing the masses it will be an impossible task to resist this overpowering, Borg like freak show that is currently in control over the globe. They depend on our cooperation. It is the only true capital they have. You need to begin attacking liberal establishments. have you tried burning down the home of Nancy Pelosi yet? Nancy Pelosi is just a tool. Theres plenty more where she comes from. I thought you objected to people depriving others of their property, but apparently it is fine with you if the person deprived of their property can be falsely labelled as a liberal. Pelosi is not a liberal. She is an authoritarian collectivist shill. I dont advocate arson or vandalism. what were you saying about insidious cancer and mental illness? The destruction of ill gotten gains from a piece of scum like Pelosi is not depriving others of their property. I would prefer to see her properties burned to the ground and her family wiped from the face of the earth. Typical neocon. Just as bad as the neolibs. Destroy the other side. Envy based action. You still dont know what a liberal is. Or a conservative. Silly liberal, thinking you are intelligent because you can utter inanities. When an idiot like you cant answer a question, they just think the other person doesnt get it. i believe in tending to my own needs without interfering in the affairs of others. how is that liberal? When you can ask an intelligent question, I will gladly answer it for you. Until then, I just have to laugh at your stupidity. I did ask one, twice, and you ignored it the first time, and lied the second time. How is it liberal to believe in tending to ones own needs without interfering in the affairs of others? It is not, however, that is not the point. Liberals are a scourge on humanity. Yes, it is the point. You dont understand what a liberal is. Liberals believe in no class distinction. It is socialists that you are actually objecting to. Silly word parsing does not negate the fact liberals are socialists. Wake up. You dont understand yourown language. Youve been programmed, droid. Yes, it is. you just dont think anyone who disagrees with your cowardly view of the world has any rights. I would have camps and gas chambers for liberals. Some of your organs could be farmed for people who deserve them. You would pay for that? You expect others to pay for it, just like those you claim to hate for expecting others to pay for their benefit? If you did pay for it, then maybe they could harvest a functional brain for you, except you dont deserve one. you dont use the one you have. Harvesting their organs and videos of the executions could pay for the operations. Just like the Chinese, who execute people for their organs. youre a psychopath. Why? Liberals who run planned parenthood are already doing it? Theyre not liberals. Youre a seriously conflicted person who thinks collectivism is wrong foor others, but right for you. What a selfish, insecure, uninformed twob you are. Theres nothing special about your hypocrisy. Its not any different from the other collectivists you mistakenly refer to as liberals. Too bad you never educated yourself, and merely accepted your programming out of fear. The overcrowding needs to be eliminated, as well. spreadthe populace out to give the people some room, and the crime rates will drop dramatically. Restore the water cycle, and the planet will flourish. But youre right: getting rid of the military and the government that depends on them must be a priority. Yes, overcrowding can be a problem but even where people do Slum conditions and crime are direct results of the scarcity and corruption system that is forced on the global population from a very malevolent, covert political dominant. Identify and neutralize. There are millions of square miles of desert available for terraforming theyve done studies on rats that show overcrowding results in violence and even cannibalism. It has nothing to do with politics, which only makes things worse. It is not scarcity that is the cause. the deserts can be transformed if the water cycle is fixed. Overcrowding seriously hampers the water cycle. Im largely in agreement with you but Im hoping that humans can be coaxed into more sophisticated behavior than rats Politics becomes relevant the moment there is an assembly of more than one person. Even rats express political behaviour albeit quite scrappy. Much like the politics of the aberration that has slithered and crawled into dominant position over the last 200 years or so. If you have to coax someone into behavior, then manipulation is going to result. I have no idea how you can see politics in rats. O.k let me rephrase the coax concept. If a human acts like a rat and rapes and kills a child you go FCK him up. That will tend to deter other humanoid appearing rats from endangering children. No manipulation . . . .just fck him up. You obviously have not studied a group of rats intimately. Or monkeys. There is definitely a political structure that vaguely resembles human society. It cannot be disputed. I asked you to explain how, not to restate your position. You failed to do that. Instead you resort to a straw man. I dont know what you mean. Few..are the chances in actual fact. Ok, since you have some comprehension issues, here is what I wrote: OK, what is the political aspect of rat behavior? Your posts aregetting more and more incomprehensible. The subject is too complex to discuss here as I attempted to indicate in my previous reply. Again I say go do the observation if you really are interested. If not then continue parrying with Americadies. So all hierarchical systems that resemble human culture are political? Where did you get your definition of political? How is being a jock or nerd political? And then you bring up my discussion with someone else as if it was pertinent to this discussion, like a politician. Try learning some formal logic before you do any more observation. You dont even understand your own language. Everything has to do with politics. Everything! Where more than one human is assembled you will find politics. Your incessant argumentative rhetoric is just your expression of your own slightly confused politics. You cnt even maintain a coherent argument. You dont know the difference between social constructs and politics. So you consider nyone who understands their own language to resort to incessant argumentive rhetoric. You resort to straw men, and change context from one sentence to the next. Try studying formal logic, and present a reasoned position. Youre just spewing alphabet soup. I dont have any politics. youre the one who is confused. Try looking up the definition of politics before you make yourself look even stupider when you respond. More incessant argumentative rhetoric.. O.k. . .. You win. . . . . . and Im bored.. Pedantic idiot. Now you just repeat yourself because you cant back up anything you say. you make foolish statements and duck out with this crap, because you think you are entitled to the last word. What a tool. You are frothing at the mouth. . .calm down. Im calm. If you think thats frothing at the mouth, you must be afraid of your own shadow. You calm down. And try replying with some logic, instead of the ad hominem garbage. You look foolish when you cant support your statements. I repeat your boring babble has become trite. Yes, you keep repeating yourself. If you are bored, why dont you try doing something else. You might want to try learning English. It will probably baffle you completely. Youve already run out of words. You continue to be boring and unimportant. It is obvious you are filled with a sense of self importance. But you are really just a small minded liberal who knows nothing. Do you ever think? Yes. I think for myself, unlike you. Do you ever respond with reason, or are you always a knee jerk reactionary,, spouting the party line? I have to laugh when I read silly diatribes like yours. you have yet to make a rational statement, laughing tool. Youre the worst enemy of the side you are on. LOL! Poor liberal trying to sound intelligent. Try answering this question, which you have ducked, like the cowardly bootlicker you are: I believe that nobody is entitled to the fruits of anyone elses labor. How is that liberal? If you really believe this, how can you support entitlements, welfare, Obamacare and other wasted wealth redistribution? I dont believe in any of that. Youre just making this up. You have no logical basis for this bald faced lie. Quote me where I said I was in favor of any of that, you lying twob. Do you support them or not? Idiot. No, I dont. What is your problem with reading: I believe in tending to my own needs, without interfering in the affairs of others. Now, show me where I ever stated I believe in any entitlement programs, or admit youre just a jackass liar. Or take your usual, cowardly way out and avoid the subject. Now, if you do not believe in these programs, I will accept you mean that and apologize accusing you of that. Now did you vote for this clown Obama? No, I didnt vote for the puppet. Look at his voting record as the junior senator from Illinois: he voted present more than he voted for or against bills. He was almost certainly told to do so in order to provide quorum, without taking any stance that he would not have to defend any position that might alienate his potential supporters. no, I didnt, and a$$hole disqus censors deleted my response. Obama is just another lying worthless politician. OK, now, Im asking you: why do you keep making such baseless claims? Are you really this stupid that you have to resort to straw man after straw man? Do you think everybody that disagrees with you must be an Obama supporter. No, I didnt vote for the puppet. why do you make such irrational claims instead of addressing the position logically? Are you really this delusional? Do you think that anyone who disagrees with you is an Obama supporter? Youre programmed to the hilt. Wake up and try thinking for yourself. Youre as bad as the fool Obama supporters you seem to blame everything on. Get a clue. please note the question, Now did you vote for this clown Obama? I answered, in English. Here it agin. I did not vote for Obama. How hard is that to understand. I already said I didnt vote for the bozo. you dont even understand your own language. No wonder you get bored so easily. Check your spelling, it proves again how small mined and unimportant you are when you try so very hard to sound intelligent. Check your spelling, it proves again how small mined What were you saying about checking my spelling? Other than the fact that only someone who has nothing else to support such foolishness as you spout, the next thing you do is not even take your own advice. So, you have by your own standard, resorted to a small minded, unimportant response in an attempt to sound intelligent. some serious focus issues on your part. Yet another hypocritical response from you. Keep trying. Sooner or later, you might get lucky and typesomething that makes some sense. Ill be here, waiting. I know you cant help yourself from replying. I would have thought you might at least check your spelling if you weregoing to resort to criticism of my spelling, but, thenagain, with an attention of less than a few seconds, that was hopelessly optimistic. Touche. What does this have to do with anything I wrote, you delusional psychopath? Doyou think I support any of that? How about you address what I wrote, and quit with the straw man garbage? Man, can you babble Not compared to you. You start making things up, and duck any questions. Polly want a cracker? I bet you love it when someone gives you enough attention that you feel important. Cant focus long enough to answer any questions, or do you just do this to avoid looking like the hypocrite you are? You have asked no questions except the same stupid ones. When will you get to the point? If the questions are stupid, then why are you incapable of answering them? Is it because you are an idiot, and the questions are beyond your intellectual capacity? How can somebody get a point across to you if you cant focus long enough to reply coherently. You make a spelling error complaining about spelling errors. Tell you what, what are your questions, Ill answer them. Use of nuclear weapons in areas in the middle east could help with over crowding. What were you saying about liberalism being a mental illness? Not that you understand liberalism. Youre a psychopath. War should lead to the eradication of our enemies. Killing every man woman and child leaves one with no enemies to fight. Kill the men, the army dies, kill the children, no new soldiers rise, kill the women, no new children rise to become soldiers. No, youre too stupid to see that wars are the work of the banksters, and they depend on loudmouth tools like you to beat the drums. Good thing less people are listening to idiots like you. Killing every man woman and child leaves one with no enemies to fight. It leaves nobody. Not even you, unless you are not a man, woman or child. Goodness you are dense, bombing a country like Iraq or Syria out of existence does not affect me or mine. I favor killing every man, woman and child in all ME countries, same as Africa, reducing the parasitic societies is simply an improvement to humanity. Sure, just have someone else bomb people you dont even know, as long as you are not affected. What a craven coward you are. If you think this should be done, do it yourself. Expecting someone else to take care of your wellbeing is exactly what you claim to oppose. You are the parasite you claim to despise. Silly liberal, first, I do not own any B2 Bombers or nukes, if I did I would bomb those countries. As far as someone providing for me, how silly, my life is sustainable very comfortably with no one helping me. So, you want to use the resources of others to do the work you cant afford. Sounds like the same crap you castigate liberals for. and you call me a liberal, even though you cant explain, without lying, how my belief in tending to my own needs without interfering in the affairs of others is liberal. Expecting someone else to bomb your boogie men is hardly self sufficiency, idiot. Im not stupid. you cant even answer a simple question. Doofus, the military is for protection of all Americans. If our military eradicates all Muslims in the ME it would be in our best interests. Idiot. How would nuking the middle east not kill the non muslims? How does presenting a threat to everyone that you would nuke, regardless of whether they are musim or not? Killing lots of people in the ME ends centuries of war between all parties. No loss there. What a stupid statement. Since you advocate death so much, why not try it for yourself? See if you find peace that way. No loss there, either. Net gain for humanity. the average IQ would go up. Why do you expect others to labor for your benefit? sounds like your definition of a liberal. A conservative certainly wouldnt expect someone else to do their work. If you feel so strongly about this, then man up and have at it. youre all talk, no action. This is tired nonsense. you can quit anytime you want. You dont bother answering anything. If youre tired of looking the fool, why not just stop? You crave the experience of conversing with your betters. Youre not conversing. Youre just replying randomly to duck having to admit you cant come up with a coherent response when questioned about your illogical double standards. Youre certainly nobodies better if you have to resort to this. Thought you said you were bored? Why do you keep responding? Have you given up on learning English? More babbling Same old tired reply. Learn a new trick. Maybe improve your vocabulary. Look!, the poor baby is still whining. you could start improving your vocabulary by looking up whining. Its probably too big of a word for you to start with, but give it a shot. Go back to sleep, maybe? Are you still around babbling? I wasnt babbling. Thats another word you should look up. You are still responding randomly. Maybe your medication needs to be adjusted. Maybe you should question what you would have been responding to, based on your question. If I hadnt replied, what would you have been responding to? Those are some more questions that i am sure you will avoid answering. Peabrain, your ideas are hardly shared by all Americans. Boring. Just stop responding. You just keep ducking. Why should I stop responding to you, you learn a little each time. Did you know you are boring or did you think when people cease talking to you it was because of your perceived brilliance? No reason for you to stop. No amont of reasoning will ever convince you of anything, from what I see. What makes you think people stop talking to me? You certainly havent stopped, so your reasoning, as usual, is invalid. You dont even listen to yourself. Why would anyone take you seriously? More babble. Apparently,you have run out of words. Youre down to two. What was yourpoint calling me boring? Is this your idea of interesting? Do you need more words from me to tell you, you are tiresome, repetitive, uninteresting and trite? No, I was looking for words to indicate that you are rational and capable of expressing yourself coherently. your continuation of the conversation only indicates to me that you do not find it boring. See article today on Breitbart. I wish I had read this first so I could link it in my comment over there. Perfect timing. You news types, get together and make a coordinated push! This is terrific news. The Ehrlichs are my heroes they saw the population disaster approaching way before anybody else did. As for all these supposed deliberate and accidental attempts to forcibly curb the population, they sure aint working very well. Clueless breeder scum are still popping out armies of dimwitted rugrats at an alarming rate, and soon 8.5 billion jobless. brainless clowns will be fighting each other over rapidly dwindling resources. Abortion should be compulsory, sterilization should be free and easy (and always voluntary), and pregnancy itself should be a crime. See my reply to David A Laibow above. But, please lead the way and abort yourself first. What we dont need are deviant They sure didnt work in your case, but if you feel so strongly about depopulation, lets see you put your money where your mouth is. The problem is overcrowding and lack of education caused by the banksters and their government, which runs a school system that prevents education in order to indoctrinate the witless tools like you. Kill yourself and start the trend. I dont take advice from programmed tools. Take your own advice. And you might want to learn how to read with comprehension. I dont think overpopulation is the problem, as I stated in my reply. You think the world is over populated and yet you wont help? Hmm. seems typical liberal, do as I say not as I do. Idiot. Go back and read what I said. I said overcrowding was the issue, not overpopulation. I said overpopulation wan not the problem. You said overpopulation was the problem. You should follow your own advice, imbecile. If you can even understand yourself. you dont seem to understand your own language. And once again, you call me a liberal. You dont have a clue. I hope you did not reproduce. You sound like youre drunk. What an idiot you are. So your premise of overcrowded means the parasitic are not spread out enough? So you support the redistribution of land and property for these parasitic? If there wasnt overcrowding, how far do you think the recipients of entitlement programs would be able to travel to get them? I dont care about your imaginary ranch. Theres plenty of land. Divide the total opulace by the amount of land before you make such stupid irrational claims. And why are you such a coward that you cant stand the thought of anyone who is not as tupid and hateful as you living on the same planet? And why dont you take your own advice if you dont like the size of the population? Because you are a follower who expects others to take care of you, you parasite. My but you are stupid. Tell me how to populate the Mohave Desert. I agree with you, it is roughly 48,000 sq. miles has a population of about 5 million people. So, could you tell how you will make it wholly livable? What do you do with the reservations there now. Here is some help; http://persquaremile.com/2012/08/08/if-the-worlds-population-lived-like/ I can not wait to hear your brilliance shine through. You think thats the only available land? You have no right calling anyone stupid. You have made stupid statement after stupid statement, and you duck out when you are asked simple questions. Come on moron, how will you populate the Mohave? How will you accommodate the existing 5 million people? Where will you get the water? Why would i try to populate the Mojave? this is just a straw man. Try making a logical argument before you call anyone else a moron or fool, you idiot. Morons and fools are your intellectual superiors. Theres plenty of land. Divide the total opulace by the amount of land before you make such stupid irrational claims. The problem is overcrowding and lack of education caused by the banksters and their government Just reduce overcrowding, and outlaw corporations. Youre the one babbling, here, baboon. And the mojave reference is a straw man, not the open land issue. I didnt mention the mojave, you did. If you understood formal logic at all, you would know that. Well, at least you stopped misusing the term liberal. pretty soon, you might evenstart understanding English. I never suggested giving up any of your land, that is a straw man. Youre an imbecile. Grow up. Moron Yeah, dont have much hope for this. They have promissed to curb the population for a long time, but cant seem to accomplish it. Europe is an overpopulated shithole and they dont do anything about it. At least stop giving out free Health-care and stop immigration FFS! In my opinion the eugenicists should practice what they preach upon themselves and let the rest of us figure out a way to help the rest of humanity and mother nature thrive. The wealth of our world would no longer be in a select fews hands. Perhaps without them we could quit spending the bulk of our wealth on weapons used to destroy humanity and our Earth for something better for all of Earths occupants. 
1	In town with College GameDay for a matchup between No. 1 Alabama and No. 15 LSU, 72-year-old Lee Corso felt awkward as he was surrounded by college students for the first time in his life during a rally thrown by a local fraternity. 'God, look at them; they're so young,' observed Corso, clutching a red plastic Solo cup filled with Coors Light while huddled in a crowded basement corner with cohosts Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit. 'I saw a group of girls come in here that, I swear to God, they looked like they were 13 years old. I mean, they're acting nice enough, taking pictures with me and everything, but come on.' Finally unable to bear it any longer, Corso retired to the College GameDay bus and fell asleep while reading his book. 
3	Spinning Bad Financial News Into GoodPaul Craig Roberts, Contributor The government produces another unemployment measure, U.6, which includes people who have been discouraged by the inability to find a job and have been out of the work force for less than a year. This measure of unemployment is 14.7%, a number that would get attention if reported. When the long-term (more than one year) discouraged workers are included, the US unemployment rate is about 22%. In other words, the real US rate of unemployment is almost three times higher than the reportedheadline rateof 8.1%.What is the purpose of reporting an unemployment rate that is about one-third the real unemployment rate? The only answer is deception through Happy News. Lets have a look at those 96,000 jobs. What kind of high-tech, high-income super jobs is the worlds only superpower, the indispensable nation, the worlds greatest economy and capitalist heaven creating? The answer is lowly paid third world jobs, which is why there is not and cannot be an economic recovery. All the good jobs have been moved offshore in order to maximize the incomes of the rich. Health care and social services, primarily ambulatory health care services and home health care services, provided 21,700 jobs or 22.6% of the jobs. So, 52% of the new jobs created by the American superpower are lowly paid waitresses, bartenders, practical nurses, and hospital orderlies. Highly paid manufacturing jobs declined by 15,000. The incomes lost by these jobs most likely exceed the income gains from the waitresses, bartenders, and hospital orderlies jobs. Where did the other 46,000 jobs come from? Formerly, in hard times government employment would expand, but, despite Republican propaganda, not today in todays mean times. Government (federal, state and local) lost 7,000 jobs. Professional and business services gained 28,000 jobs, primarily in computer systems design and related services (mainly Indians on H-1B work visas) and management and technical consulting services (mainly former corporate professional employees who now eke out a living by consulting, without pension or health benefits, with their former employers; in other words, they are working the same for less). Where are the remainder? A few thousand jobs in finance and insurance, jobs that absorb consumer incomes but produce no product. Telephone, cable, water, electricity, and heating produced 8,800 jobs. Transportation and warehousing to store unsold goods produced 5,700 jobs. Retail trade, primarily food and beverage stores (alcohol), produced 6,100 jobs. And there you have it. The powerful American economy is an economy that cannot produce its own clothes and shoes, or the manufactured products, including high technology products, that it consumes, or its own energy, all of which it imports by issuing more debt. The great hegemonic American economy is on the verge of total collapse, because the only way it can pay for the imports that sustain it is by issuing more debt and printing more money. Once the debt and money creation undermine the dollar as world reserve currency, the US will become overnight a third world country, much to the relief of the rest of the world. Last week Mr. Draghi, the head of the European Central Bank, announced for propaganda purposes that the ECB would buy up the sovereign debt of the troubled EU member governments if, and only if, the assisted member governments agreed to the conditionality that would be imposed. In other words, Draghi told Greece, Spain, and italy that the ECB will buy your bonds if you do what we tell you. Draghis conditions are a combination of austerity on the countries populations and the surrender of the countries financial sovereignty. Since the troubled debtor countries already had that option, Draghis scheme doesnt change anything. However, the NY StockExchange used Draghis announcement to gin up day-trading profits. It is difficult to image worse news than Draghis. Yet, stock markets rose. This result is more evidence that financial markets are not to be trusted. But you will never, ever, hear this fact from the financial press. A financial system based on lies and deceptions cannot forever last. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	In todays fast-paced corporate world, it sometimes seems as if the moral fabric of our society has been stretched beyond recognition in the name of so-called social progress. Bowing to the twin demons of feminism and political correctness, many businesses have readily yielded to the pressures of the countrys advancing womens rights front, allowing their fear of losing a few customers to cloud their judgment and dilute their most fundamental of values. But not at Red Lobster. For over 40 years, the countrys preeminent seafood restaurant chain has strived to maintain a respectable business environment in both its restaurants and its corporate structure. And though the currents of change may have shaken the resolve of other eateries, Red Lobsters leadership is in firm agreement that their company now and forever will remain at the forefront in the ongoing fight against women in the workplace. Red Lobsters corporate values have always been directly aligned with the interests of the traditional American family, and that means we are vigorously opposed to the female infiltration of the workplace, said Clarence Otis Jr., CEO of Red Lobsters parent company Darden Restaurants Inc., and a self-described die-hard opponent of the womens rights movement. Thats why, when you step into one of our restaurants for a taste of the most delicious seafood around, you wont see a single female employee who isnt a server or hostess, and youll never, ever see a woman working in any kind of supervisory role. Thats our promise to you, Otis continued. The chief executive noted that the campaign against womens rights doesnt end in the restaurants nearly 700 affordable, family-friendly locations. Indeed, honoring the wishes of founders Bill Darden and Charley Woodsby, Red Lobster has never once employed any kind of female executive throughout its corporate structure, and even enforces a policy expressly barring women from entering the boardroom at its Orlando headquarters. In fact, due to the companys creative application of federal and state labor laws, Red Lobster has ensured that those few female typists and telephone operators it does reluctantly and begrudgingly employ receive far less pay than their more capable male counterparts and virtually no medical benefits, a bold move in a world plagued by the screeching feminist horde. But Red Lobsters ongoing opposition to the womens rights movement doesnt end within its own walls, Otis emphasized. For decades, weve been investing our profits into a number of dedicated political advocacy groups seeking to ensure that our nations places of business remain a stronghold for men and men only, Otis said, adding that the company has also funneled money to organizations hoping to put a stop to immigration, contraception initiatives, and homosexual adoption. Through our aggressive lobbying efforts, weve succeeded so far in blocking a litany of womens rights legislation, and we will continue working to ensure that no woman ever feels comfortable in the workplace. Thats the Red Lobster way. Through offering such an impassioned voice to this most pressing of debates, its no surprise that Red Lobster has earned the praises of the nations most influential business leaders. In times of widespread moral cowardice such as these, its inspiring to see a restaurant chain whose attitudes toward the supposed advancement of the fairer sex remain as fresh as their seafood, said American publishing magnate T. Herman Zweibel. In the years to come, I remain confident that the rights and freedoms of the female gender will continue to deteriorate, just as Red Lobsters star will continue to ascend. Theyve also proven their worth as a more than willing business partner, Zweibel added.

2	Walmart Just Did Something Absolutely SICKENING To Customers Of Christian Faith According to recent report, Governor Asa Hutchinson is going back on his decision to sign Arkansass version of a Religious Freedom after he received requests from both his sonand Wal-Mart stores. According to the IJ Review, Hutchinson has sent the states religious freedom bill back to the state legislature to ensure that changes are made to protect the rights of LGBT individuals. The request came after Doug McMillon, the CEO of Wal-Mart, came out against the measure in the following statement: Every day, in our stores, we see firsthand the benefits diversity and inclusion have on our associates, customers and communities we serve. It all starts with our core basic belief of respect for the individual. Todays passage of [the Religious Freedom Restoration Act] threatens to undermine the spirit of inclusion present throughout the state of Arkansas and does not reflect the values we proudly uphold. For these reasons, we are asking Governor Hutchinson to veto this legislation. Wal-Mart is headquartered in Benton, and shortly after McMillions remarks, Hutchinson asked the state legislature to make revisions. What do you think of Hutchinsons decision to give in to Wal-Marts request? 
1	Directors Ridley Scott and Tim Burton traded their favorite actors Wednesday, closing a deal in which Scott received Johnny Depp and Burton received Russell Crowe plus two guys from Black Hawk Down and a three-pack of watermelon Bubble Yum. 'I'm going to cover his face in white powder and make him wear a purple fright wig and a Victorian frock coat with swirls all over it,' said Burton, who unsuccessfully attempted to trade away an old Michael Keaton with whom he hardly ever plays anymore. 'Russell Crowe's going to be the best misfit undertaker ever!' Scott, meanwhile, told reporters that he was just glad he got rid of a crappy action figure like Crowe and that he and Burton had definitely called no tradebacks. 
2	Youll Never Believe What Deceased Drivers Father Had To Say About Tony Stewart Recently, the father of 20-year-old Kevin Ward decided to speak out against Tony Stewart, the NASCAR star who was accidentally responsible for his sons death. Tony Stewart was the best damn driver by far on the track that night, Kevin Ward Sr. told reporters of the driver. Why he had to go up as high as he did and hog my son, theres no reason for it. Ward was pronounced dead from blunt force trauma after he was hit by Stewart at the New York Canandaigua Motorsports Park on Saturday. Footage has revealed that Ward actually hopped out of his car after a spinout that he blamed the driver for, and put himself in a dangerous position on the track. What do you think? Did Ward put himself in danger?

1	DETROITCalling himself 'a man possessed,' Dennis Zablocki, a 22-year veteran of the Detroit Police Department, announced Tuesday that he will not rest until he tracks down a reasonably priced riding mower, ideally under $950. Detroit cop Dennis Zablocki. Teeth clenched, the steely-eyed Zablocki told reporters he will do 'whatever it takes' to hunt down a quality mower with at least 15 horsepower and a 40-inch cutting width at a price that doesn't strain his budget. 'The mower is out there, I just know it,' Zablocki said. 'I'm on its trail, and I'm getting closer every day.' 'You hear that, mower? I'm gonna find you!' he added. Risking the ire of Detroit sixth-precinct police chief Theodore Hill, who constantly instructs Zablocki to 'go through proper channels,' the 47-year-old lieutenant spends hours each day scouring newspaper inserts and lawn-care-equipment catalogs, doggedly pursuing every possible lead in his obsessive quest. Zablocki also makes frequent trips to Sears to sniff out 'the word on the street.' 'I guess it all started when the crabgrass set in,' Zablocki said. 'ChemLawn gave me the runaround, always quoting me their 'rules' and 'acceptable lawn-care procedures.' And every second they dragged their feet, another aphid was born to feast on my grass. Well, I've had it. My back's against the wall. It's time I took the lawn into my own hands.' Affordability is a key criterion for the wanted mower, Zablocki said. 'Sure, I could max my credit card and get an expensive mower, maybe a $1,995 Simplicity 600L with hydrostatic transmission, full-power takeoff and an overhead-valve engine. But that's not what I'm after. I know an affordable mower is out there... somewhere. And I'm not giving up until it's in my garage.' Driving Zablocki on his relentless quest is the haunting, ever-present memory of his first lawn, destroyed nearly eight years ago by a dandelion epidemic. 'I gave everything I had to save that lawnspraying, pulling, cutting,' Zablocki recalls, his voice beginning to crack. 'In the end, it just wasn't enough. The greatest lawn I ever had was ruined. And it lowered the value of the house substantially.' Pausing a moment to compose himself, Zablocki once again hits the street, unstoppable in his search. Whether he'll find the mower before it's too late or simply be consumed by his own madness, no one can say. But the steely glare in his eyes bespeaks a bitter torment, a pain that cuts far deeper than any mower blade ever could. 
2	Obama Is FURIOUS After Clint Eastwood Takes THIS Massive Stand Against Him Clint Eastwood is finally responding to claims about his controversial Republican National Convention speech. Of course, the answers are reported by the Carmel Pine Cone, a newspaper based in the town in California that Eastwood used to be the mayor of. President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people, Eastwood reportedly said. He did not elaborate. Eastwood also claims that he did not tell anyone in the Romney campaign what he intended to say at the convention, because he did not know what he was going to say. He reportedly did not think of the empty chair comments until a few minutes before he went on stage. Eastwood claims that his intentions were to make three key points: (1) that not everybody in Hollywood is a liberal, (2) that Obama has and continues to break a lot of his promises to the American people and (3) people should have the right to eliminate a politician who is not doing his job. What do you think? Do you support Eastwood? 
1	Saying that such a vital judgment call required the expertise of a truly moronic decision maker, employees at Cartwright Partners passed an important issue up the corporate ladder to the companys highest-ranking idiot Tuesday, sources reported. Im just a mid-level pea brain, so when this decision landed on my desk from one of the nimrods on my team, I knew I had to run it up the flagpole all the way to the top dope in my department, said account manager Alan Rasche, who reportedly sent a detailed memo up the boob chain to the highest pinhead in the local office, but quickly learned that even she couldnt adequately address it and had to send it up to a higher dipshit in company headquarters. From what I hear, theyre bringing in all the top dumbfuck brass to weigh in on this one, and the ultimate decision is going to come down from the companys very highest dimwit. This is why the shit-for-brains executives in corporate get paid the big bucks. Sources said they were confident the companys top idiot would render an absolutely lunkheaded decision that the companys low-level nitwits would then have to spend months trying to fix. 
3	Is Christopher Dorner LAs New Bin Laden?Bernie Suarez, Contributor Anyone paying attention to the world and the media already knows, or is slowly finding out, that nothing put out by the media is trusted news. Time after time we are seeing one story after another where the media (at every level) turn a blind eye to asking the most important questions. We saw this so vividly with the Sandy Hook shooting. We heard and saw lunatic psycho cop and globalist puppet Lieutenant J Paul Vance in all his arrogance declare that only his police department was to be relied upon for truth regarding the shooting incident yet the holes in the Sandy Hook story over a month later, are now gaping. So as we see this Los Angeles police drama unfold, it is well within reason to wonder: Is Christopher Dorner LAs new Bin Laden? Will Dorner be used as an excuse to continue searching wherever LAPD wants to search and shoot whoever LAPD wants to shoot, all in the name of searching for Dorner? Will LAPD introduce new regulations giving them even more power and search rights in the name of Dorner? With details of Dorners online manifesto revealed exposing the LAPD as corrupt and Dorner victimized for exposing the corruption; and as the controlled media admits this story is further re-exposing the corruption that LAPD has demonstrated historically; and with the mass media photographers more than happy to bring the public the associated press Rambo search-style images to keep the public engaged in this Hollywood-style manhunt, this story gets stranger and should place critical thinkers on high alert. An underlying factor all of these stories the mass media mouthpieces are feeding the TV watching zombies is the subliminal addiction that TV watchers need to empathize with the police. This emphasis on 24/7 police point of view is at the core of the brain washing and mass mind manipulation. Note to TV Watching Zombies If those glued to the TV watching one Breaking News after another would simply ask themselves a few simple questions: Why do I need to empathize with the police? Why should I care what problems the police are facing right now? How is watching news story after news story about police challenges and problems going to improve my day or my personal life? Why is it so important that I know what the police are doing? Arent the police human beings like me; if so, why are their problems more important than mine? Why does the program director of this particular news station want and need me to know this story about police problems that does not involve me? Why is a problem in my own life,my problem, but a problem within the police department is called breaking news? Has anyone ever furnished proof or reasonable evidence that shows that knowing, empathizing and being consumed with police problems are necessarily good for humanity? What about all the shows on TV we grew up watching; why do the majority of shows involve police in some manner? Why is the concept of police being rammed forcefully into our consciousness? These simple questions are child-like and elementary. Anyone can review these questions and ponder on what might be a reasonable answer. The truth is we dont need to know at all what police are doing. No local police department shares its secrets with the general public and police operate more effectively when the public has no idea about the details of the cases they are investigating so why are their cases now being rammed down our throats to be made part of our lives and consciousness? Say NO to the Police Consciousness Its time to say NO to this so called mainstream media imposed Police Consciousness that they are forcefully implementing on so many Americans. Its time to ignore, laugh away and reject this phony police consciousness that is designed to flush away your mental peace, tranquility and connection to yourself, your god and nature. The last thing the government and its mouthpieces want is for people to focus on themselves and discover how great they are; so by forcefully feeding the masses their engineered police consciousness they can continue building their police state of slavery and fear. So as the media in Los Angeles in conjunction with LAPD continue to fan this conflict between the department and its former officer which is surely laced with truth and lies, lets keep in mind that this story can just as easily be about creating another Bin-Laden-like monster on the loose. We all know what happens when there is a monster on the loose; the police will give themselves a lot more liberty to trample your freedom as the family of several people unjustly slain found out this past week. With this story growing and as its being narrated to us by the controlled media, we have no reason whatsoever to suspect that this comes with no agenda. Lets all thus be mindful of the Government-Media false-flag frenzy we are in the middle of and reject every story put out by the Government-Media-Complex (GMO) until absolutely and eventually proven otherwise by truth-seeking alternative, sincere, dedicated, professional, unbiased and collective media reporting. This must be the new standard of journalism for us to move forward as a whole. Related Article: RELATED ACTIVIST POST ARTICLE: linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	In a tense standoff with far-reaching implications for both the free world and the president's ironclad code of honor, President Clinton made an impassioned plea to PLO terrorists Monday to 'leave the girl out of it.' Clinton To PLO Terrorists: 'Leave The Girl Out Of It' 'It has always been the policy of the United States not to negotiate with terrorists,' Clinton told reporters during a nationally televised White House press conference. 'But this is different. The girl came here because of me, and when they grabbed her, they made it personal.' The girl, who has been held captive by the terrorists since last Friday, was identified Tuesday in a New York Times story as Valerie Herrick, the 26-year-old daughter of industrialist Milton Herrick. Sources close to the White House say she is 'an idealistic, sexy brunette who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.' According to the Times story, on Friday, Herrick tracked the terroristswho are wanted in connection with last week's deadly bombing in a Jerusalem marketto their hideout in an abandoned warehouse several blocks from the Capitol Building. Upon entering the hideout and attempting to overhear the terrorists' plans, she broke a heel and was captured. President Clinton waits to meet with several PLO representatives in an abandoned Washington D.C. alleyway. Clinton said he would use his fists to do some 'serious negotiating.' The terrorists are demanding $40 million and their safe return to Lebanon in exchange for the girl's release. 'This is an extremely difficult situation,' said Clinton, who upon learning of Herrick's capture abruptly left the 1997 National Governors' Summit in San Diego, where he was to deliver the keynote address. 'If I could speak with those terrorists now, I would tell them, 'I'm the one you want! Me! The President! Now let the girl go!'' U.S. Defense Secretary William Perry, along with other top Pentagon officials, have been working closely with Clinton to devise a rescue plan. While the plan's details remain strictly confidential, an anonymous Pentagon source confirmed that Clinton will use a grappling hook fashioned from a nearby machine part and some rope found outside the terrorists' warehouse hideout to climb up the side of the lair. He will then rappel through a broken skylight into the warehouse, silently killing each terrorist in turn, then grabbing the girl and running out of the warehouse just seconds before it explodes into a spectacular ball of flames. 'As I said, in the interest of national security, I cannot elaborate on the specifics of the plan,' Perry said. 'But essentially, what I told President Clinton is, 'The girl's in trouble. You have to go in.'' Despite his reluctance to provide details, Perry did acknowledge that after the president kills the head terrorist by impaling him on the giant shards of a rusty threshing motor, he will tell him, 'Get the 'point,' you bastard?' Perry would not comment on the possibility of Herrick flipping her captor off a catwalk using martial-arts techniques that Clinton taught her in a smoldering, sexually charged judo lesson at the White House last week. Complicating an already tense international situation is a videotape mailed to Clinton by the terrorists Tuesday showing Khayyid al Hamad, the lead terrorist, standing before Herrick, who is bound and gagged, and horribly disheveled. The heavily muscled, mustachioed al Hamad then points to a patch over his left eye and says, 'Remember this, William Jefferson Clinton? Yes, this is your handiwork. Come to the warehouse at the old docks tonight, Mr. President, or the girl gets what is meant for youan eye for an eye!' The videotape then ends in static. Upon viewing the tape, a visibly disturbed Clinton told reporters: 'I told her it wasn't a game, and I thought it was getting through to her. I'm the one who drove her to thisI was so focused on revenge that I couldn't see what was going on right before my eyes.' White House spokespeople said that despite its great complexity, the crisis should reach its climax and resolution within the next 15 to 20 minutes. 
2	Liberals Proclaim The Term Illegal Alien Now Worse Than The N Word, See Why Sally Kohn recently wrote a controversial column for CNN, which was published on July 4th. The piece was a social commentary on the use of the term illegal alien, which she deemed as derogatory and akin to common racial slurs. She even made the bold statement that the word illegal is the same as using the n-word to describe African Americans, or the f-word to describe homosexuals. Below is an excerpt of the piece: During the civil rights era, Alabama Gov. George Wallace was asked by a supporter why he was fixated on the politics of race. Wallace replied, You know, I tried to talk about good roads and good schools and all these things that have been part of my career, and nobody listened. And then I began talking about n*ggers, and they stomped the floor. In the 1980s, during the rise of the gay rights movement, North Carolina Sen. Jesse Helms accused a political opponent for supporting f*ggots, perverts [and] sexual deviates of this nation. Today, opponents of immigration reform attack undocumented immigrants as illegal immigrants. Even worse, like anti-immigration extremists, some prominent elected officials use the term illegals. Maine Gov. Paul LePage, a Republican, said, I urge all Mainers to tell your city councilors and selectmen to stop handing out your money to illegals. Not the same thing? Of course it is. Kohn is not the first to make these type of statements, but she does take her argument to extremes, asking for the elimination of the term illegal from public discourse. The organization Race Forward has a campaign to get media organizations to Drop The I-Word in their reporting about immigration, Kohn wrote. She goes on to call for the elimination of the term illegal from public discourse, essentially arguing that social pressure should be employed to rid American parlance of the adjective. She went on to propose using the word undocumented in place of the word. Still, whether we argue semantics or not, the fact is that these people are breaking the law when they enter the country. What do you think of Kohns argument? 
3	The FBI Has Quietly Started Spying on U.S. School Children to Quash Dissent at an Early AgeBy Claire Bernish Preventing Violent Extremism in Schools, an unclassified 28-page manifesto for the ostensible purpose of waging the War on Terror in U.S. schools, opens with a brief summary of what we can expect from the latest in governmental indoctrination: High school students are ideal targets for recruitment by violent extremists seeking support of their radical ideologies, foreign fighter networks, or conducting acts of targeted violence within our borders. High schools must remain vigilant in educating their students about catalysts that drive violent extremism and the potential consequences of embracing extremist beliefs. Presented as ostensibly well-intentioned guidelines for identifying an individuals burgeoning extremist ideology, the entire summation, and its accompanying website,are a thinly-veiled excuse to target Muslim-Americans. But Muslims arent the only subject of this alarmingly McCarthyistic program. While its no shock (anti)-abortion extremists and white supremacy extremists appear among the FBIs Known Violent Extremist Groups, some other groups might be particularly considering the keyword is violent. Anarchist extremists, sovereign citizens, and both animal rights and environmental extremists are deemed equivalent to the potential threat of ISIL. Anarchist extremists believe that society should have no government, laws, or police, and they are loosely organized, with no central leadership, the FBI claims. Sovereign citizens believe they are separate or sovereign from the United States even though they live here Sovereign citizens use their beliefs to justify fraud and other non-violent crimes. Despite the documents claim the FBI does not advocate the application of any psychological or demographic profiles or check lists of indicators to identify students who may become radicalized, the agency offers precisely that a checklist of possible warning signs worthy of reporting. It continues, Using several different cell phones or private messaging apps; Talking about traveling to places that sound suspicious; Using code words or unusual language; and even Studying or taking pictures of potential targets (like a government building). According to the FBI page on propaganda, an individual voicing mistrust of the government, concern about environmental destruction, or criticism of corrupt western nations would also be prognostic of future violent actions. To envision such behaviors in their own right as indicative of the potential to conduct a violent attack, speaks to a problematic lack of understanding of peoples common gripes by their government. In the increasingly paranoid atmosphere of this country, fueled by Trumps demagoguery and Hillary Clintons hawkishness, such broad generalizing is downright dangerous. In fact, it is precisely this paranoia which led to the in-school arrest of Ahmed Mohamed a 14-year-old student genius whose hand-crafted clock was assumed to be a bomb. Despite his insistence the creation was never meant to be anything but a clock, he was charged with misrepresenting it as a bomb. Sometimes a clock is just a clock, Freud might say, and therein lies the issue with the FBIs program. As long as the United States government continues to almost indiscriminately bomb populations in the Middle East and elsewhere, those opposed to such programs will protest in earnest. This does not mean those protestations will somehow culminate in the exact sort of violence the participants stand against. The turbulence of adolescence is, indeed, a time when many students seek understanding of and from the world around them, as the FBI repeatedly notes. Adolescence is often the time of discovery, and of the revelation that what has been taught in school is anything but the entire picture if not wholly inaccurate. What the FBI seems to be forgetting in its return to a McCarthyistic, If You See Something Say Something crackdown on dissent, is that very criticism by the youth drives future change in policy. And if the angst of youth is given proper outlet and voice, instead of ending in violence, it might just end the continued worldwide violent attacks by the government. Then again, maybe thats the real problem the FBI seeks to quash. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. As children we all learned that when playing games with others who kept changing the rules to benefit themselves there comes a time the only thing to do is THROW THE TABLE OVER. Do not forget to add your failed Fascist Democratic types and fellow leftist like Hitlery Clinton to your list. ONE party, TWO names. Just work from the ENTIRE CFR membership listTHATLL take OUT 98% of these filth This website censored my comment which wasnt necessary. especially over an article that touts questions regarding free speech, privacy issues and profiling. Same here and often! Whats that telling you? Hmmm. Its saying that we free thinker types need to be eyeballed and profiled, its also telling me that the alternative media is a questionable area to involve oneself for commenting against our criminal federal government. When attending a MUFON conference at which a security officer gave a presentation on his involvement with the Rendalshem/Bentwaters UFO incident, he stated publicly that the CIA writes all the news we see via the six major media outlets, the company edits all the news. I am willing to bet they stick their grimy little fingers into the alternative venues as well. The alien/military/industrial/complex spreads its fear everywhere it can. For sure, Paul. Sad but true. Lets face it though, mate. It was always going to happen! When The Game is rigged, why play the game? US went bankrupt, SCOTUS states people are not included in the New Constitution, politicians admit it is now a Democracy instead of a Democratic Republic, but people are supposed to pretend all is the same, and obey the now illegitimate govt. that has jurisdiction only over a few square miles in DC. But if you are intelliget enough to figure the facts outwell YOU are the problem..just like truthers are looked dowm upon..while I guess LIARS are just fine, in modern khazar merica! The United States of Khazarica! The USA is now the USK. without dissent,the u.s might as well burn to the ground. Hmmm Radical as in students questioning total support for Israels war crimes and illegal occupation of Palestine. Radical as in demanding that the US stop the slaughter of millions of innocent Muslims and withdraw from the Middle East. Radical as in demanding a new investigation into Israels obvious ties to 9-11. Radical as in demanding that instead of supporting Israels apartheid walls, we build walls to seal and protect our own borders. Radical as in demanding a stop to the massive invasion of illegal aliens that are destroying the standard of living of Americans by overloading the country with cheap labor, wrecking our schools, bankrupting our medical and welfare systems.Radical as in stopping the biggest US corporations from shipping our jobs offshore and hiding their profits from the IRS. Radical as in demanding an end to the Federal Reserve which is majority owned by foreign interests and run by 2 dual citizen Israelis. For now however, people are still willing to pretend that this censorship, control, lawlessness and outright tyranny be the government is to protect us from radicals. The truth of course is that the government is doing its level best to allow a tiny minority to continue to run roughshod over the majority as that tiny minority plunders and destroys the Republic. There is a reoccurring theme going on here. And not coincidentally, the subject of that theme is off limits to criticism not just in public schools, but in public discourse in general in America today. Which in turn goes a long way toward explaining why this country is literally disintegrating before our eyes. Do not worry Liberals run the show in the failed education system so the radicals will be classified as: Well then, I tick every one of those boxes lol! There are no liberals and conservatives in the FBI or the CIA, dont you get it? Those are just convenient labels that help keep people divided and conquered. WE need to publicly start calling politicians exactly what they are, COWARDS! We need to sing it from the roof tops and all at once. Ask them how it is they can look their children in the eyes while tucking them into bed each night. How is it that they can even say the words I love you. Honestly, they have an evil in them that defies anything that could be considered human. Yes, and that theme is from Khazarian sheet music.in the key of T R E A S O N. These comments on here give me hope. Whoever said that just defined a whole bunch of folks.The real extremists are the folks that follow their (mostly unconstitutional) orders and the clause enemies foreign or domestic pertains to the same folks. *Anarchist extremists believe that society should have no government, laws, or police, and they are loosely organized, with no central leadership, the FBI claims. Sovereign citizens believe they are separate or sovereign from the United States even though they live here Sovereign citizens use their beliefs to justify fraud and other non-violent crimes. This sounds good to me. I lean toward that government is best which governs least. henry david thoreau Big government has proven ineffective and a waste of taxes (hard earned pay) and only benefits the gold collar scum and corporations. They really are shutting down the nation. In the Vietnam Genocide era a group of us in high school, thinking we were oh so smart and radical, had a parting comment summing up our political perspective. It was and dont forget to smash the State. I would go down to a Socialist bookstore and buy I F Stones Weekly as fuel and knowledge to arm ourselves in our radicalism against the outrages then. Today the outrages are much worse in the west and healthy dissent is now to be spied upon and is to be used to chill speech as threat against future success if one is termed a radical? What is youth for if not to view societal structure with fresh insight into its abuses or conversely its glories? Is a new reign of McCarthyism going to allowed to squash this natural and healthy questioning of the young as they prepare to enter adulthood? Resist this by taking over the boards of education if need be to protect our youth and to show them that free speech is THE primary right if we are to have a free society. Your generation of leftist and Commie-Fascist are now in charge of these policies. Sorry to inform you but the leftist fascist commie element of the day never gained power. Power remained in the hands of the leftist fascist commie bankers and their entourage of corporations, then as now. Most of my generation were co-opted as we settled down and began families, but no doubt you were indoctrinated into our leftist fascist commie ways like all your generation, that is if we followed the leftist fascists master plan as instructed. Bolsheviks upon every shore, to be sure. Ill see your taking over the boards AND RAISE YOU just REMOVE your children from ALL GICs (government indoctrination centers). Home schooling and sound private schools are the answer, NOT taking over rigged entities you have NO chance of penetrating. Classic move of a totalitarian govt making its moves. First, they target a group that is easily demonized Muslims. They stage false flag events and place the blame on them with 24/7/365 TV coverage of that propaganda. Now, they have opened the door to EXPAND their power grab and begin to demonize PATRIOTIC Americans who are Constitutionalists and Bible believers. These are their REAL TARGETS as these are the folks who will take a stand against Federal TYRANNY. This is the phase they are now in, and you are witnessing this in Oregon and Nevada with the murder and arrest of the Bundy Ranchers. Next, they will begin to round up those everyday Americans who they assess to be the greatest threat to their continued Police State Expansion. Like in The Gulag Archipelago, they will come in the dark of night to do their evil. Read Solghenitsyns book to see how he lays it all out. Should be required reading. Yep. The dark of night; A cowards best friend The difference is, WE have 300 million guns to help them internalize the REAL losses THEY will experience during their cowardly 3:00am bust-ins.they CANT kill ALL of us. Funny, nobody running for el president seems to be interested in dismantling the central US government down to a manageable under control size before it collapses into its own footprint. F.B.I. covered up 911 and every other false flag since. F.B.I. is a terrorist organization. they should answer for 9/11 and so should the Bush administration And Flight 800; and OKC bombing; and JFK, and on and on and on, ad nauseam.that Americans DONT get, after all these years, that the FBI is absolutely the American KGB, as filled with criminals and traitors as any fifth column is beyond me. I could just see George Dubya Bush justifying this by saying 9-11 was conducted by high schoolers. Ya gotta watch them every minute! Almost makes me want to buy an engraving machine and gift it to some high schooler and tell him Bathroom wall graffiti is for amateurs do it with style Imagine the trophies and plaques a suppressed from dissenting teen would make. You might want to consider Obama is the POTUS and a GWB on steroids ya think??!!!! Moochell: Copy, edit: Michaels school lunch program Lol! you are part of the problem. Clean Demon: Michael and I The Eagle will willingly oblige should ye be seeking problems, queen weenie. Master Class be always open, allcomers and all comers welcome, training wings recommended, just ask Joe Moer. take a look at Cruzs bill S306 When the Federal Bureau of Idiots have so much time on their hands as to now target high schoolers, thats a sign there are TOO MANY FBI AGENTS making TOO MUCH MONEY and frankly they have TOO LITTLE REAL CRIME to fight. Solution: Fire 3/4 of these overpaid fools and let them dig ditches for a real living. Amerika is so phrucked on so many fronts that she has become a doomed sinking ship. Its got nothing to do with McCarthyism which was an attempt at uncovering the very real communist subversion of the Tribe in Hollywood and other places. They hated being uncovered and so used their power to distort it into a swear word. Youre joking, right? Yep. Explain which part of that is wrong. People need to start asking if they want to live in slavery or die fighting for their freedom. Everyone needs to ask this question of themselves very soon. Death is not to be feared. It comes to all of us, but, it will come to me ON MY TERMS! Not a cockroaches hmmmm an individual voicing mistrust of the government, concern about environmental destruction, or criticism of corrupt western nations would also be prognostic of future violent actions.. Riiiiiiiiiiiight. In other words, ANYTHING the FBI doesnt like, will be claimed by THEM to be prognostic of future violent actions. How tidy, how so LEO-like The claim that this is McCarthyism is nonsense. This is what McCarthy was trying to stop. McCarthy was right. What tunnel vision and an inability to understand new information! McCarthy was right! Your invocation of his efforts to protect America do not compute. mccarthyism? it seems to be that mccarthy was right in his belief that america was being taken over by marxist-communist, facist. on hindsight, mccarthy may have been right. spying on its citizens is marxist-communist. why are you deceiving people with reference to mccarthyism? Absolutely agree with the concluding sentence its so obvious the FBI and the CIA, among others in the security/defense game, or more accurately put, industry, have been pretty much generating business for themselves for well over 50 years. The population is otherwise just too docile to provide the steady supply of security threats they need in order to justify their existence and ensure healthy budget increases. This is the meta-level of the whole game that most people never discover. Having said that, it appears from reading the FBI publication cited by this article that the intention is indeed to provide guidance to school administrators and instructors not to spy on schoolchildren, as the headline claims. You must have touched a button that put you on the watch list at AP. You do know that AP is a humanistic leaning type site, right? No. I think Im taking things for granted sometimes. Either that or I dont care anymore? There is a red flag on all of us truthers now I reckon The war on terror has been set up to generate fear among the nations and create a desire for security. In that, they have redefined a terrorist to look more like the born again believer in Jesus Christ that does not follow traditional religious tenants and exposes government corruption, than any other group. The secure ID that they have been implementing globally is going to be required to make any and all financial transactions. Most of the people in the truther movement will bow to the financial decisions, because they do not trust God, but fear being without monetary exchange, a home or energy, food, water, etc Yes, we are digitally red flagged. Thats, true. I have mentioned in many posts that some VERY tough decisions need to be made by all of us very soon. I wont be taken a slave that I promise you. My fate is sealed; as far as this life goes 
1	In an act of reciprocity they called 'vital to the future of our nation,' the leaders of the rebel uprising in Libya said this week they would come up with something for 68-year-old dictator Muammar Qaddafi to do all day if he agrees to relinquish power. 'He's the kind of person who always needs to be busy or else he goes completely stir-crazy, so we'd be willing to find some sort of hobby for him if he consents to leave and let our nation move forward,' said rebel leader Ibrahim Aldaali, adding that his group had already secured a large collection of crossword puzzles, a small vegetable garden, and a fleet of old cars for the Libyan leader to tinker with should he finally step down. 'The man just needs a project. If he could direct his energy toward something more constructive, maybe he'd discover he doesn't have to spend his whole life subjugating people beneath the iron fist of a despotic regime.' At press time, rebels were also considering getting Qaddafi in touch with restless former Tunisian president Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali and having the two men build a chest of drawers together. 
3	Senators to Offer Groundbreaking Medical Marijuana Amendmentselfnews Post The House just made history last month by voting to stop the DEA from interfering with state marijuana laws, said Bill Piper, director of national affairs for the Drug Policy Alliance. Now every U.S. Senator has the opportunity to provide relief for the sick and dying and to be on the right side of history, not to mention public opinion. The House medical marijuana amendment was offered by six Republicans and six Democrats: Reps. Rohrabacher (R-CA), Farr (D-CA), Young (R-AK), Blumenauer (D-OR), McClintock (R-CA), Cohen (D-TN), Broun (R-GA), Polis (D-CO), Stockman (R-TX), Lee (D-CA), Amash (R-MI) and Titus (D-NV). 170 Democrats and 49 Republicans voted for the amendment. Twenty-two states and the District of Columbia have laws that legalize and regulate marijuana for medicinal purposes: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington. Ten states have laws on the books or about to be signed into law by their governors regulating CBD oils, a non-psychotropic component of medical marijuana that some parents are utilizing to treat their childrens seizures: Alabama, Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, and Wisconsin. Todays news from the U.S. Senate comes at a time when medical marijuana is also the dominant storyline in the final days of New Yorks annual legislative session. Governor Andrew Cuomo and State Senate leaders have come under intense scrutiny for blocking the states comprehensive medical marijuana legislation, despite overwhelming bipartisan support for it. Letting states set their own medical marijuana policy without federal interference is not just the right thing to do its also very popular with voters in both parties, said Piper. No American should have to live in fear of arrest and prosecution for following their doctors advice. Were going to make sure voters know which Senators vote to protect their states and which do not.

1	ATLANTA (Oct. 12)Americans are expressing their outrage at the soaring price of the non-renewable resource gasoline from the passenger seats of their vehicles across the country. 'America means having a right to cheap gas without having to say please,' said Augusta, GA resident George Rizner, idling in his Hummer H2 in a protest near the Georgia State Capitol. 'What are we supposed to do, walk?' Rizner then did doughnuts in a nearby parking ramp until his vehicle stalled. The public continues to express similar frustration at long lines at gas pumps, constant and disruptive road construction, and increasing traffic gridlock, insisting that all these problems can be easily solved with more and cheaper gasoline. 
3	Man Sentenced to 35 Years in Prison For Shooting Police DogMeanwhile, pet-killing officers nationwide enjoy freedom If a man is forced to spend nearly the rest of his life rotting inside the largest prison system in the world for killing a dog belonging to an officer of the police state, why are officers who shoot animals without a second thought getting away with no charge? One doesnt have to think hard to recall instances of officers executing canines, such as the incident in Hawthorne, California in 2013 where they killed a non-threatening dog while the owner was handcuffed and had to watch. Police shooting dogs continues to fill YouTube on a daily basis. In fact, its been estimated that a dog is shot by law enforcement every 98 minutes in the United States. Police have even been suspected of bringing injured dogs to the range for target practice. Or how about police going on a rampage and killing a pet parakeet? Dont believe it? Check that story here.Or shooting up a store to get to a squirrel? Sure, why not, you can see that one here. Dogs and other pets belonging to peaceful citizens are constantly being shot dead simply because of an officer feeling arbitrarily threatened. Heres one statistic to consider, though: Im not suggesting that the answer is for this man not to be severely punished for his crime of killing a police dog, but can we at least expect an equal and proportionate punishment for those who wear the badge of supposed peace officers but kill indiscriminately?

3	U.S. Says Russia Bombed Convoy Even If It DidntBy Brandon Turbeville With the recent bombing of an aid convoy in Urm al-Kubra near Aleppo, the Western media (as well as the governments it speaks for) is conflating the convoy that was attacked with a convoy that never actually entered Syria and which appears to have been attacked by Americas rebels. Now, rogue generals within the U.S. military are declaring that the Russians are responsible for the attack despite having no evidence for their claims. In addition, these generals and the Secretary of Defense are saying that, even if the Russians didnt drop the bombs, the Russians are guilty of attacking the convoy. Seriously, they actually said that. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Joe Dunford, lobbed the first nonsensical claim to the Senate Armed Services Committee when he stated that, There is no doubt in my mind that the Russians are responsible, we just dont know whose aircraft dropped the bombs. Really? How do you know the Russians bombed a convoy if you admittedly dont know who dropped the bombs? Dunford even stated I dont have the facts. Its good to know that military policy is decided without facts and that determinations are made regardless of them, isnt it? Dunfords statement was essentially We want to blame the Russians and, regardless of who bombed this convoy, we will blame the Russians. Fuck the facts. Yet Secretary of Defense Ashton Ash Carter (appropriately named Ash since that will be all that is left of the world by the time the U.S. Empire is finished provoking every country in the world including nuclear powers) was not to be outdone by Dunford. [The] Russians are responsible for this strike whether they conducted it or not because they associated themselves with the Syrian regime, he said. Now, thats an interesting point. Lets say for the sake of argument that the Syrian regime was killing its own people, bombing civilians, and torturing Syrian civilians as the U.S. government claims it is. To be clear, there is no evidence of any of this but, for the sake of argument, lets say the alternate universe of the Western corporate media and the State Department is reality for a second. If the Russians are then responsible for the behavior of the Syrian government, wouldnt the United States be responsible for the behavior of the rebels because the U.S. is associating itself with them? Indeed, by the logic of Ashton Carter (an oxymoronic statement to say the least), the United States is responsible for untold executions, implementation of violent Sharia law, genocide, rape, child molestation, beheadings, torture, and, of course, cannibalism. Ironically, whether we follow the logic of Ashton Carter or not, the end result is the same the United States is indeed responsible for all of these crimes and more in Syria. The Russians responded with a slight jab at the U.S. government with Igor Konashenkov stating: Unlike the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the U.S. Armed Forces, we do have the facts, that is, data of objective control of the aerial situation in Aleppo on Sept. 19. And these facts unequivocally confirm the presence of an American unmanned fighting air vehicle Predator, launched from the Incirlik air base, in the area of the convoys passing by Urum al-Kubra. Unfortunately, Konashenkov must be unaware that the facts dont matter to the United States government or to the Western corporate media. If facts mattered, the fact that there is no evidence of Russian or Syrian or any aerial bombardment of the Syrian Red Crescent convoy would be adequately reported. Indeed, evidence that the bombing was an attack against a completely different convoy than what the American media has painted as the actual victim and the fact that the Western-backed terrorists were the most likely culprits would be discussed all over the airwaves right now. But, of course, if the facts actually mattered, Americas moderate rebels would have never been labeled moderate, peaceful, of democratic. Nor would America have armed rebels in the first place. Or invaded Libya. Or Iraq. Or Afghanistan. Unfortunately, however, facts and logic are an endangered species in America these days.

Its kind of like how in America, they blame white people for everything. Non-sequitur with racist undertones? Sounds like an episode of an old dinosaur sitcom, the Honeymooners, The Odd Couple, or Schultz from Hogan Heroes I know nothing!! To be fair to the US military dunces, they said Russia was responsible because it was allegedly Russian aircraft that was directly overhead when the convoy was hit, only used by Russia and Syria, and since Russia is supposedly monitoring and coordinating with the Syrians they are said to be overseeing their actions. Its always the plebs at the bottom of the pyramid who pay the big price. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/044f1398a64d81bb5f99f3f6f6918d2c728d7cb9925a47dfb716cb3b8e054f08.jpg Not like the US hasnt lied and lied some more Saddam has nukes BS is a good starting point. They lost all credibility when they invaded a sovereign nation under false pretenses and murdered thousands. God bless America ? I am so sure. Did you see the ughh. belingcat I think His name on the net, about the profs of Russian Bombing, the so called room where an so called Missile went thru. That article and the comments to it just confirms several aspects of this PR-war propaganda from the mornic UssAs petty idiots, where the fakering is so obvious I laughed, and nobody could tell anyone what makes this prof so fake. hrmf peace I agree with you too and noticed on a lot of these videos where supposedly bombs or barrel bombs and there is no fire but heaps of bent iron and bricks and people are being brought out of collapsed buildings and their clothes are cleaner than mine after lying on a dusty road. Look at the Humanitarian trucks that had tyres burnt but the cages of the trucks were still standing and that was done after bombs were dropped and no craters. I believe that they are all staged for western consumption. The US needs to get out of Syria and focus on arresting Ziocon war mongers in the USA and putting them ON TRIAL FOR WAR CRIMES. Plus, if the trials were broadcast LIVE, they would be equal to the Judgment at Nuremberg trials! The no-name potus is nothing, if not a good widdle NWO unholy puppet scum. When PNAC created its infamous document back in the 90s, the authors never realized how many lies would be necessary to achieve the New American Century. Who cares about genocide and death of innocent civilians? Trump said something mean to a former Miss Universe contestant nearly 20 years ago. .and he cant stop talking about it. even if the Russians didnt drop the bombs, the Russians are guilty of attacking the convoy.?? Um psychological evaluations all around! forkin psychopaths! The American government IS responsible for every atrocity carried out by its mercenaries. Plain and simple. 
2	Federal Government Cracks Down On Al Sharpton For Eluding Millions In Tax Payments Al Sharpton, an MSNBC host, is always talking about how the rich dont pay enough, and yet here he is avoiding his taxes. A bill was passed earlier this month that is now preventing Al Sharpton from leaving the United States. Specifically, this bill stated that Americans who owe more than $50,000 in taxes to the IRS may not leave the United States. The bill will go into effect on Jan 1, 2016. Sharpton owes millions in taxes, and doesnt seem like he will be paying that any time soon. Al Sharpton should be in prison serving hard time for this. Although, this is a start. Maybe they should let Al Sharpton out of the country, and deny his entrance back in. Do you think Al Sharpton is the scum of America? 
2	BREAKING: Disaster Strikes In New York, 1 Dead, 108 Injured... Please Pray According to recent reports, one woman has been declared dead and more than 100 injured in a tragic accident yesterday morning. A NJ Transit commuter train carrying 250 people and traveling up to 40 miles per hour crashed into Hobokens historic train station. At a press conference, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie confirmed the train crashed through barriers until it hit an interior was. The engineer, Thomas Gallagher, was treated and released from the hospital. He has been in full cooperation with law enforcements investigation. Christie also confirmed that the woman who died in the accident was not a passenger, but was killed by debris that fell onto the platform after the train crashed. She has been identified as 34-year-old Fabiola Bittar de Kroon of Hoboken. We know what happened, said New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo commented We dont know why it happened. At this point, officials have no estimate on when the NJ Transit section of the station will reopen. The part of the terminal used by PATH trains reopened in the late afternoon yesterday, in time for the evening commute. Authorities hope to pull the event recorder from the locomotive car to determine the peed and baking of the train. Authorities believe the investigation can last up to 10 days, at which point the NTSB will issue a report. Both governors thanked emergency responders and civilians who quickly assisted rescue efforts, helping the injured get medical care. All of the injured are receiving care at local hospitals, Christie said. According to ABC, the Hoboken University Medical Center received a total of 23 patients. Dozens more are being evaluated or treated at various area hospitals.

1	As she prepares to enter the 'dog-eat-dog' business world this summer, computer applications major Lisa Milch, 22, said Monday that she is skeptical she'll be able to parlay her lifelong passion for data entry into gainful employment. Milch says she 'owes it to herself' to follow her data-entry dreams. 'I knew when I chose to work with computers that I'd be facing an uphill battle after graduation,' said Milch, a senior at the University of Maryland, as she reordered a list in an Excel spreadsheet. 'But when you love numbers and archiving information as much as I do, you have follow your heart and be willing to take a risk, no matter how far-fetched it may be.' Milch said she's always fantasized about working 50 hours a week as a clerk in a medical records department, where the 'big-time' information processing and retrieval opportunities are. However, she fears that setting her sights too high could set her up for disappointment in the real world. 'It's definitely a long shot, but I just know I'd regret it for the rest of my life if I didn't even try,' Milch said. 'It's something I have to do. I owe it to myself.' As early as age 8, Milch displayed an avid interest in quantitative measurement and numeric arrays. A star pupil in her high school business and typing courses, Milch said that a summer principles of information technology class at a nearby DeVry University first sparked her desire for a brilliant career in data entry. 'I know I might be listening to my heart more than my brain here, but something inside me keeps telling me to go for it,' Milch said. 'I've never wanted to do anything else. I'll take low pay, I'll work under fluorescent light, I'll telecommute if I have tojust let me do what I'm meant to do.' Milch is not alone. Across the country, millions of seniors worry about the difficulties of transferring their personal interests into profitable careers. Wesleyan University senior Frances Hardwick said she's concerned she won't be able to find employment as a personal assistant even after graduating in the top 10 percent of her class. 'The only thing I've ever wanted is a life of service: taking phone messages, picking up dry cleaning, and getting coffee for the well-off,' said Hardwick, who believes she will be in for a 'rude awakening' once she is out on her own. 'I'm not looking to get rich. All I need is just barely enough money to pay rent.' While these idealists continue to send out resums and cold call dozens of potential employers, their futures remain uncertain, leaving each of them with the same question: Will the world find a place for my inner callings, or will it crush my deepest dreams? And for Milch, the waiting game is almost too much to bear. 'Some days, I want to give up on data entry completely,' she said. 'I sit around wishing I'd win the lottery so I could just take one temp job after another forever.'

The terrorist group began to fire rockets into Israel, despite warnings from Israel, as negotiations for an extension of the ceasefire were halted. According to the Washington Free Beacon, the Israeli Air Force recently launched an airstrike that was successful in killing three top Hamas commanders. The IAF aircraft reportedly fired missiles at a building in Rafah, killing two prominent leaders. Another Hamas terrorist was also killed in the strike. Since that time, Hamas made the decision to renew their attacks, and is reportedly preparing to move into Gaza. What do you think? Do you support Israel? 
2	Islamic Leader Farrakhan Commands 10,000 To Whites: Stalk Them And Kill Them [VIDEO] According to recent reports, Nation of Islam Leader, Louis Farrakhan just called on an audience at the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C. to commit acts of violence against whites. Farrakhan has been traveling throughout the United States for his Justice, Or Else! tour, and the message he is spreading is disturbing and criminal. Death is sweeter than watching us slaughter each other to the joy of a 400 year old enemy, Farrakhan told the audience. Death is sweet. The Quran teaches persecution is worse than slaughter10,000 in the midst of the million10,000 fearless men who say death is sweeter than continued life under tyranny. Farrakhan then pointed to a verse in the Quran that calls for retaliation when slaves are oppressed. Retaliation is a prescription from God to calm the breasts of those whose children have been slain, Farrakhan said. So if the federal government will not intercede in our affairs, then we must rise up and kill those who kill us. Stalk them and kill them and let them feel the pain of death that we are feeling. With a message like this, why hasnt Obama put this man in jail yet?

According to sources, the eight-and-a-half-hour graduation day campaign, split into indoor and outdoor phases, will reportedly involve transporting the mobility-limited octogenarian to and from her hotel of origin, securing a seat for her near the stage, maintaining food and water supplies, and navigating as many as five trips to the bathroom. Once were on the ground, its going to be chaotic, mission leader and main coordinator of logistics Dennis Goldschmidt, 54, told a group of gathered family members as well as Hayley herself, who was patched into the briefing via speakerphone uplink. Youre going to have thousands of people all trying to do the same thing at the same time, so the goal is to get Grandma in, see Hayley get her diploma, and get her out as quickly as possible with minimum fuss. We meet outside the hotel lobby at exactly 7:45 a.m., he added. Then we move. After confirming that all family members would remain in direct contact throughout the high-risk operation, Goldschmidt reportedly outlined the precise route from the hotel to the university their two-car convoy would take, including an alternate emergency route should unforeseen traffic prove too heavy. Upon arrival to campus, he explained, three people would exit the forward vehicle and take up positions flanking their grandmother, escorting her to her seat while he doubled back to the parking lot. Goldschmidt said that approximately 15 minutes before the start of the ceremony, he would rendezvous with the rest of the group, making a supply drop of camera equipment, water bottles, a stack of programs, and a wallet-sized magnifying glass. Then, sources confirmed, Grandma will take her pills. Once the Academic Procession starts, theres no getting upweve got to be ready for any possible contingency, Goldschmidt said, forcefully reminding the group that they could be pinned down by ceremonial observances for two hours or longer. I want a portable seat cushion in case they dont have one there, backup batteries for her travel fan, and a handkerchief for her sunglasses. And that walker better be unfolded and ready to roll the moment the last diploma is distributed, he added, plotting a set of waypoints to an area behind the student union where the group would mobilize for family photos. According to sources with knowledge of this phase of the operation, Grandma pictures would take place on a bench that advance scouts said would provide sufficient shade cover. The group reportedly hopes to avoid a repeat of 2009, when, at Hayleys brothers graduation from Georgia Tech, the elder matriarch grew fatigued in the afternoon heat, forcing the family to call in a golf cart and make a tactical retreat to an air-conditioned tent. Assuming all has gone to plan, we will then extract Grandma from the campus and transport her to the hotel, where she will have her nap from 3 to 4, Goldschmidt said. That should give her a wide enough window to have her tea, freshen up, and be ready for our 5:30 dinner reservation. At press time, a concerned Goldschmidt was gathering intelligence on the weekend weather and planning for a worst-case scenario in which a designated member from his unit would have to hold an umbrella over Grandmas head all morning. 
1	After responding to a fire at elite nightclub Tech-Noir, all 20 members of Ladder Company 24 were denied entrance and forced to stand behind the velvet rope guarding the A-list inferno as it raged on well into early Sunday morning. 'There was no way I could let them in dressed like that,' said bouncer Ken Hess, who asked emergency personnel to step aside while he allowed a group of good-looking, scantily clad women directly into the blaze. 'If they had brought some ladies with them, then maybe. But we have to maintain some standards here.' While the firefighters were reportedly saddened by the sight of 63 people burning to death, on the way back to the firehouse they agreed the club was probably just full of stuck-up bitches anyway. 
2	Michelle Obama Complains About How Hard It Is Being The First Lady First Lady Michelle Obama has never been afraid to complain about how difficult life has been for her, even as she continues to fuel her lavish life style on taxpayers dollars. This was the message she decided to deliver yet again to the graduating class at Tuskegee University. Rather than focus on how far weve come as a nation, she decided to focus on the racial adversity shes faced as the first black first lady. She claimed that as such, shes had to deal with questions and speculations, conversations sometimes rooted in the fears and misperceptions of others. She fails to acknowledge, however, that these questions might have anything to do with the fact that both she and her husband have repeatedly bent the law to fuel their own agendas. I had a lot of sleepless nights, worrying about what people thought of me, wondering if I might be hurting my husbands chances of winning his election, fearing how my girls would feel if they found out what some people were saying about their mom, Michelle continued, according to Breitbart. But eventually, I realized that if I wanted to keep my sanity and not let others define me, there was only one thing I could do, and that was to have faith in Gods plan for me. I had to ignore all of the noise and be true to myselfand the rest would work itself out. What do you think of Michelles speech? Is it fitting that she took the time to talk about herself rather than the future of the graduating class. 
2	Obama Caught Committing Massive Act Of Treason Against Bush During His Presidency President Barack Obama has received strong opposition from international leaders on his nuclear enrichment program agreement with Iran. Still, he seems intent on moving forward at any cost. 47 Republican Senators decided to take matters into their own hands, writing an open letter to the Iranian regime, letting them know that any deal with Obama that isnt approved by the Senate will be null and void as soon as he leaves office. Democrats were quick to criticize the Republican leaders for taking such measures, calling them traitors for interfering with the presidents foreign policy efforts. What they fail to acknowledge, per usual, is that they did something even worse ten years ago, when they met with Iran to sabotage George W. Bushs policies. In 2008, Obama sent a personal emissary to Iran, asking them not to sign any deal with Bush. Instead, he guaranteed them a friendlier deal once he was in office. Obama sent Ambassador William Miller as a messenger to argue that things would be different once Bush left office. And after all that push back, even the Obama administration has admitted that their deal wont be legally binding once Obama is out of the White House. If you ask us, that day cant come soon enough. What do you think? Are you tired of Democratic hypocrisy? 
3	Reversing the Mental Side Effects of the New World OrderBernie Suarez Neuro-imagining studies demonstrate the effects words can have on the brain. Studies show that exposure to various negative words and visuals and stimulus factors can have a deteriorating effect on the brain. Fear has a deteriorating effect on the brain, as does the threat of tyranny, fascism, terrorists, war, financial collapse, catastrophes, outer space threats and all the engineered fear and gloom the corporate media and Hollywood regularly bombard us with today. Knowing the deteriorating effect words and images have on the brain doesnt stop government from using negative words and fear-generating tactics in conjunction with their media to bombard people with cognitive weapons of mind destruction. Conversely the effect of positive words are known to us; humans equally respond to positive meaningful words, images and other physiological techniques that induce relaxation, potentiate harmony, warmth, calmness and overall mental comfort. Our fund of knowledge about how humans operate makes us all the more responsible for addressing and exposing the mass manipulation of people by government, the media and Hollywood (Government Media, Hollywood Complex). This complex is now clearly seen to be pushing the masses into a mental direction that is opposite and contrary to what each human wants deep down inside. No one wants to see war or be involved in war, no one wants to think they are in danger that only the government can save them from. This is a very fearful place to live mentally. Apparently we are to believe the government is concerned for your physical well being and that your mental and spiritual well being is not important. This notion would be true if we were only physical beings. The greater part of us, it turns out is human consciousness. Something not experienced is out of sight and out of mind like it doesnt exist. Consciousness is what we are and it is inseparable to the human experience. Being that we are consciousness we owe it to ourselves to bring ourselves to a place where we can all thrive as human beings. We all seek to be who we want to be, to have meaningful experiences and to accomplish that thing we want to do that is at the core of what we value the most. This is certainly a significant purpose for our existence on Earth and I can think of no other greater purpose. This purpose of thriving suffers at the hand of antagonistic elements which exist on Earth. A careful, sincere, and simple retrospective analysis shows repeatedly that government and its media complex (GMH) works hard at keeping every individual person in a state of fear, anxiety, negativity and readiness for tribulation. This observation should be stated and acknowledged so that we can make a focused effort to implement solutions for this human challenge. Lets ask ourselves what we can do as individuals to make this world a better place. One good place to start is to tune government off including their media and its mouthpieces. You will never know how peaceful your world can be until you tune the GMH Complex off. Give it a try and listen for the silence. Studies show the benefits of meditation, prayer, images of smiles, peaceful scenarios and positive words can have on humans. We know the results of these positive stimuli and the positive effects it has on other components of our humanity. Lets consider the knowledge we are accumulating about who we are and use it in a meaningful way. Let us not allow our brains to accept one positive scientific fact (about the positive effects some things have on humanity) while ignoring another (the negative and detrimental effect fear, doom, gloom, lies, war, and propaganda have on humanity). I choose to acknowledge what we know about humanity and apply practical, wise, and logical problem-solving solutions to the problems we face; problems of consciousness deterioration, conscious existential intimidation, and existence in the state of fear and anxiety. So unless these cognitive manifestations and expressions are to be ignored and unless our consciousness is unimportant and unless cognitively oppressive governments are to be given priority over our very conscious existence, then Ill assume that there is no miscalculation here and my logic and reason is sound. Let us then act upon this simple knowledge about whom we are and let our actions show that we understand these principles.

1	Derek Kriesel, 22, who shall heretofore be known far and wide as the stately prince of Shooters Sports Pub & Grub, gallantly rushed to the aid of an inebriated maiden Tuesday when he noticed she was too drunk to make rational decisions. 'A noble one was he who, as the valiant knights of yore, attended to her every whim, and yet she did not have to ask, or even glance in his direction,' bartender Nate Bogen said of the modern-day Lancelot, who from his own pocket purchased many a drink for the woman after she fumbled just once for her purse. 'He is truly a man among men, for ne'er did his eyes stray from her.' According to sources, the noble hero also escorted the fair lady to her quarters, fingered her while she vomited, and slipped off before dawn without waking her or her parents. 
2	Obama Says N*gger On Live TV, Claims America Is Still Racist President Obama continues to make headlines regarding race in America. While being interviewed by Marc Maron, he made a point to intentionally say a racial slur, the N word. President Obama said the United States has not overcome its history of racism and is using the N-word to make his case. In an interview, Obama weighed in on the debate over race and guns that has erupted after the arrest of a white man for the racially motivated shooting deaths of nine black church members in Charleston, South Carolina. Racism, we are not cured of it, Obama said. And its not just a matter of it not being polite to say n*gger in public. Thats not the measure of whether racism still exists or not. Its not just a matter of overt discrimination. Societies dont, overnight, completely erase everything that happened 200 to 300 years prior.

2	Michelle Obama Caught In MASSIVE Lie, Shes Humiliated [VIDEO] Throughout her time as First Lady, Michelle Obama has proven that she thrives on attention. She seems to be pushing a cause every other day. That is, when shes not spending thousands of dollars on lavish vacations. So you can imagine Americas frustration when Michelle commented that she feels uncomfortable watching herself on TV. Its kind of uncomfortable, Michelle commented. Like oh, I dont like the way I looked. Oh, I sounded funny. In fact, during a recent interview with a group of a children at the White House, Michelle says she avoid watching herself on TV whenever she can. The comments were made during Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. We have a very hard time believing that. 
3	WikiLeaks Prepares for Release of More Clinton Emails Ahead of ElectionBy Kurt Nimmo Assange said the release of more Clinton emails is in the works. We have a lot of material, thousands of pages of material, Assange told Megyn Kelly. Theres a variety of different types of documents and different types of institutions that are associated with the election campaign, some quite unexpected angles that are, you know, quite interesting, some even entertaining. Assanges timing is designed to inflict damage at crucial junctures in the election cycle. The DNC emails were released during the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia and ultimately resulted in the removal of Debbie Wasserman Schultz as the DNC boss. Kelly asked if the next leak will be a game changer and Assange said it would. I think its significant. You know, it depends on how it catches fire in the public and in the media, he said. Media pickup of any future story is crucial. Earlier this week, the establishment media ran with stories criticizing WikiLeaks, accusing the whistleblower organization of exposing data insensitive to gay people, sick children and rape victims. Tweets went out accusing The Huffington Post, The Independent, Mediaite and others of fabrication and distorting the facts. Much of the information attributed to WikiLeaks came from other sources. The effort to discredit WikiLeaks is coordinated in part by the elite of the Democratic party. Democratic leaders are putting out a warning that could help inoculate Hillary Clinton against an October cyber surprise: Any future mass leaks of embarrassing party emails might contain fake information inserted by Russian hackers, Politico reported with an explanation saying the information came from a conference call between Rep. Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic Party leaders who are strategizing how to minimize the fallout from leaks. Clinton has avoided addressing numerous controversies by shunning the press and refusing to hold press conferences, thus allowing a friendly corporate media to fend off criticism of the candidate. She has not held a press conference for 260 days. The Washington Post criticized this tactic: Jokes aside, its beyond ridiculous that one of the two people who will be elected president in 80 or so days continues to refuse to engage with the press in this way. But she does sit-down interviews! And she did a press conference with a moderator, um, moderating the questions! Not good enough. Not when you are running to be president of the United States. One of the most important things when someone is offering themselves up to represent all of us is that we get the best sense we can about how that person thinks on his or her feet, how they deal with unwanted or adversarial questions. Those two traits are big parts of doing the job of president in the modern world. Theres nothing like a press conference to put a candidate for president through their paces. If you dont believe me, just watch how Clinton handled this presser not well! when she tried to put the email server controversy to rest. In the end, the corporate media effort to ignore or underplay the damage inflicted by revelations of Clintons corruption and lawbreaking may prove successful, especially when the audience is a largely disengaged electorate. Meanwhile, the establishment heaps dirt on the campaign of Donald Trump every single day, thus revealing its preference and bias.

3	Has the Conspiracy Trigger Word Finally Run Its Course?Bernie Suarez Not proven wrong or proven a lunatic, but simply wrong and lunatic. Remember those days? Yes, Im aware this thinking still exists today, but didnt it lose some of its intensity over the last few years? Thankfully, the percentage of humanity that reasons this way is slowly and progressively diminishing. How do I know? All of us are hardwired for survival. Thats right, regardless of what your experience and personal views and opinions may be, all of us are naturally inclined toward survival. We naturally detect danger and run away from it to protect ourselves from that danger. Mainstream media believers will internalize this narrative and their brains will process this information as if it were actually true and real. Their perception of their world now is actually physiologically influenced by this artificial narrative. The artificial narrative should be examined only in terms of what desired result it is intended to induce. Seeing the connection between the (artificial mainstream media-engineered) narrative and the resulting physical manifestations witnessed and physically observed by humanity is the essence of the global awakening of humanity we are all anticipating. This connecting of the dots is the consciousness shift that humanity is in the process of. With the connecting of the dots comes the realization that humanity is one species. We have various expressions and ideas, we use our upper brains to cognitively and intellectually work out solutions to problem. Connecting the dots allows us to see that this ability to strategize using multiple universal languages made us (humans) the dominant animal on the planet. The dominant trait knew no end, however. A very small percentage of the species unfortunately fantasizes about killing off the rest of the species and enjoying their own selfish lives at the expense of most of their own species. Connecting the dots allows us to see that this essentially uncontrolled greed and hatred ultimately became what we know today as the global elite, or controlling class, or government, or the powers-that-be. This controlling segment, however, has now exhausted their grand global psychological strategy for taking over the world by waging an endless war on terror. Humanity has watched them repeat the same script over and over. Repeated strategies against humanity with predictable politically motivated reactions to supposed un-orchestrated random events. Herein lies the breakpoint. For those still believing mainstream media news, their minds and the essence of who they are is challenged with every story. Deep down you realize the mainstream media narrative is getting more and more difficult to not only believe but to actively justify. One must be focused on not responding to challenges. One must be committed to dodging and ducking any facts that are presented that contradict the stated government narrative, all the while believing whatever plausible government narrative the mainstream media puts out. The mainstream media believers thus find themselves having to patch (or ignore) a lot of mental rational holes. So whether its 9/11s explosion and fireproof passports, or whether its JFKs magic bullet, or Iraqs WMDs, the Bin Laden death hoax, or the recent ISIS creation, those hypnotized on mainstream media news have to go fast asleep and pay no mind, or keep working overtime to rationalize these government narratives. This process of rationalizing to support the government and mainstream media narrative, I strongly believe, is now slowly dying out. More specifically, it is known that when put under stress the average human will change how they think so as to focus only on what is most important. With this knowledge about how humans react to stress, it is clear to see that regardless of whether someone believes mainstream media news, their views will slowly change if they are subject to abject poverty or feel exposed to extreme danger. Example: It is clear that the police state has not made America safer but scarier. It is clear that any war on terror ends with loss of liberty, a scarier America, endless war, increased surveillance, increased government secrecy, a violent police state and so on. All of this is cause for anyone to feel in danger of survival. When police and armed federal thugs are pointing guns at you, you might not care so much about mainstream media news anymore. This just might trigger a change of views and perceptions as would not having a job or money to buy food. For better or for worse, this is the road humanity is on now. Ultimately everyone (except that small percentage of self-destructive control freaks) will want to run from not just mainstream media and government paradigms but from any control paradigm that threatens your perceived existence. In the end its about survival and consciousness, and all government paradigms will be washed away one way or another. As we progress through the new chapter of the globalist plans marked by the post-ISIS creation era, the control system is now expanding the use of their trigger phrase conspiracy theories to apply to entire countries. In this recent case, mainstream media accused the country of Iraq of conspiracy theories because knowledge of ISIS creation is very disseminated in Iraq. Nature is at work, open (not hidden) knowledge is spreading. The knowledge is hidden ONLY to the U.S. Western-Zionist media. It is wide open knowledge to the rest of the world (think about that). The proper spreading of this common knowledge is however now deemed conspiracy theories even at the large-scale level of human consciousness and awareness. How can this be? Remember the globalists have no consciousness. The sanity of many Americans rides on the PERCEPTION that their perception of the world is the primary perception or the only perception that counts. This egocentric misfiring or misunderstanding of their own perception of life is in itself a strong and unwavering form of psychosis being manifested amongst us in real-time. This psychosis identified by the inability to see the world outside of one owns narrow perspective (the globalist new world order domination plans), is what we are seeing at the level of the control system which Ill call the controlling class. This controlling class is suffering from a runaway psychosis without consequences. Humanity is waiting for a breakpoint; a shift in consciousness that will allow a cascade of positive events that are expected to push back on this psychosis. Humanity can observe that its existence is now threatened in multiple ways (Ebola, ISIS, police state corruption, open borders, private mercenary police, wars, etc.) In summary, humanity or mass human consciousness is thus being ambushed by at least two major forces. The stress on humanity generated by government lies is an invisible force which is difficult to measure. With entire nations now accused of conspiracy theories we can now say were seeing the beginning of the end for this phrase. The phrase was first utilized by CIA in their report to government officials following the JFK murders. The CIA thought it was important to dismiss doubters of the JFK government narrative as conspiracy theorists. That was the plan then. Today the word has been used as religion by the mainstream media. Humanity has now observed for decades how the phrase gets inserted into a story ONLY when the topic is part of the new world order agenda. Everything else (not related to exposing the new world order) is properly considered another opinion, or an allegation, or an opposing view, a piece of breaking news, a counter claim or something along these lines. Example: Opposing the observed murder of dolphins in a certain country is a concern or a political position, or a claim, an allegation, a complaint or something similar. Opposing the observed carrying out of Agenda 21, on the other hand, is a conspiracy theory. Both issues are in the wide open. Both issues are supported by some, and opposed by others. So why is one a counter position and the other a conspiracy theory? Because the CIA says so. Essentially the Intelligence that controls government narratives decides ahead of time what will be labeled conspiracy theory and what will not. That is the lesson in all of this. Knowing and seeing the irrational use of the term conspiracy theories and moving forward to a new consciousness. Hey, guess what? Humanity is also coded for moving on. We get tired of things and make choices to move on. So given all the tension humanity is under, isnt it about time humanity moves on from the phrase conspiracy theories? The word comes from the word, to conspire which is when two or more people get together to commit an evil act. At the root is the concept, however, is this meaning: This meaning of conspiracy focuses on the root of agreeing on a plan. Fact is that nothing government does is not agreed to or thought out. The basic act of agreeing or conspiring is actually a very normal part of who we are as humans. We are made to conspire together given the right opportunity. Humans are social beings. Clearly the globalists conspire with each other; why would they not? Its perfectly natural to do so. What side of humanity, morality, dignity, and honor you are when you conspire is another story. Although it is not the intended use of the word in modern days, people CAN conspire to do good if they want. The problem is not the natural act of conspiring, the problem is that those conspiring are not conspiring for the good of humanity. Is this too scary a reality for you to face? ISIS is portrayed as pretty scary and so is Ebola and other government scare tactics. Humanity is watching the pendulum swinging the other way. It senses survival first, government stories second. This suggests that soon enough everyone will get it except those who chose their sides long ago. As times get harder and humanity continues to awaken to the control systems oppression over it, we will continue to observe tools, phrases, trigger words, old narratives, and entire memes slowly fade away. We were told long ago. Times change, people change, everything must change. Change is what keeps us alive. The global government control system is based on an unchanging system you are ALWAYS a slave to them. Nothing ever changes in their world. Currently, everything is changing for the worse. That unchanging state of worsening of things is the very thing, however, that is waking up more people. It is ironies like these that give us hope. Hope we should not let go of.

2	Christians No Longer Support Carrie Underwood After She Insults Them After she faced atheist criticism for her new single Something in the Water, Carrie Underwood received overwhelming support from her Christian fan base. Or at least she didbefore an interview transcript revealed that the Christian country star supports gay marriage. As a married person myself, I dont know what its like to be told I cant marry somebody I love, and want to marry, Underwood said. I cant imagine how that must feel. I definitely think we should all have the right to love, and love publicly, the people that we want to love. Im in favor of acceptance, the singer concluded to Allure Magazine. Underwoods fans feel like she is playing a mixed roll, standing up for her faith when she can, but also supporting liberal values that go against Christian beliefs. As a result, she is losing support from both sides of the equation. What do you think? Do you support Carrie Underwood? 
2	Texas Prohibits Any More Refugees From Entering Texas has made it clear time and time again that the Lone Star state does not intend to be pushed around by the federal government. Now, Gov. Greg Abbott is standing up to President Obama to ensure the safety of his citizens, announcing that his state will not be taking any more Syrian refugees. Abbott also went on to prohibit agencies within the state from lending assistance to refugees. That message went unheard by some independent programsand now they are paying the price. Abbott is threatening to revoke funding. Texas has a proven record of providing humanitarian assistance to refugees fleeing persecution, Health and Human Services Commissioner Chris Traylor wrote in a letter to agencies. Until recently the United States was unable to accept more than a few hundred Syrian refugees per year because federal law excluded any refugees who had provided material support to a terrorist organization, Traylor continued, implying that Obama had just changed that. Failure by your organization to cooperate with the State of Texas as required by federal law may result in the termination of your contract with the state and other legal action, Traylor concluded. What do you think? Do you support Texas in standing up for what they believe? 
3	UNs Syria Aid Appeal is Bid to Relieve Trapped TerroristsTony Cartalucci Rebel leaders hope to starve Colonel Gaddafis home town of Sirte into submission, laying siege to his last remaining stronghold in an attempt to avoid mass bloodshed, according to the man spearheading efforts for a peaceful takeover. Assisting them in the starvation of the 100,000 civilians who populated the coastal city of Sirte was NATO who rained bombs down upon the besieged city relentlessly while terrorists on the ground cut off electricity, water, gas, food, and other essential supplies. AP would also report on the starvation of Sirte in its article, U.N. Warns Libya Is Short of Water, Fuel, Medicine: Rebel commanders have been negotiating with tribal leaders in Qaddafis hometown of Sirte, hoping to avoid further bloodshed. They announced Thursday that they had extended the negotiations deadline for another week, from this coming Saturday. We want to save our fighters and not lose a single one in battles with Qaddafis forces, said Mohammed al-Rajali, a spokesman for the rebel leadership in the eastern city of Benghazi. In the end, we will get Sirte, even if we have to cut water and electricity and let NATO pound it with airstrikes, he said. In 2011, the general consensus appeared to be that cutting off an entire city surrounded on all sides by desert and sea, constituted a humane and peaceful means of taking the remaining strongholds of the overthrown Libyan government. How times and the sensibilities of the West have changed The Syrian Arab Army Surrounds Al Qaeda It is now the end of 2013, with the conflict in Syria having dragged on for three years. The Syrian government has decisively turned the tide against waves of NATO-backed foreign terrorists and their extremist collaborators within the country, having restored order in many parts of the country and having surrounded the terrorist proxies in a dwindling number of districts across the Syria. Image (above, right): Humanitarian aid Qatari Red Crescent-style. As the UN prepares to flood the Syrian conflict with another 6.5 billion dollars, tales of how aid money is ending up facilitating the activities of terrorists inside and along Syrias borders suggest the UN is not trying to provide mercy for the Syrian people, but perpetuate the tragedy further still. Were it truly interested in relieving Syrians, it would expose the true genesis of the conflictto the world and hold those responsible accountable. In some areas, the terrorists have been completely surrounded, cut off from reinforcements and supplies. Just as in Libya, the Syrian Arab Army is waiting for the terrorists to be starved out rather than attempt a bloody assault the difference being that civilians women and children most certainly are allowed (at least by the Syrian government) to leave the besieged areas, leaving the terrorists alone. Reuters attempts to frame the Syrian government as obstructing aid and intentionally leaving women and children to starve and freeze to death. In its article titled, Syria uses red tape, threats to control UN aid agencies, it states: Syrian government is accused of using hunger as a weapon of war against its people and preventing U.N. aid staff in delivering food and medicines to rebel-held suburbs. Reuters continues (emphasis added): As the United Nations launched an annual appeal on Monday to help 16 million people affected Syrias civil war, divisions among world powers that have crippled peacemaking are also denying UN staff the power to defy President Bashar al-Assads officials and push into neighbourhoods now under siege. In government-controlled parts of Syria, what, where and to whom to distribute aid, and even staff recruitment, have to be negotiated and are sometimes dictated, said Ben Parker, who ran the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in Syria for a year until last February. According to the Syrian governments official position, humanitarian agencies and supplies are allowed to go anywhere, even across any frontline, he wrote last month in the journal Humanitarian Exchange. But every action requires time-consuming permissions, which effectively provide multiple veto opportunities. Fighting and rebel groups are also obstacles. The United Nations appealed for $6.5 billion on Monday to help 16 million people affected by the Syrian civil war, including millions made hungry and homeless by the conflict soon entering its fourth year. The world body estimates about a quarter of a million Syrians are living under siege as winter bites, most of them encircled by government forces, but also including 45,000 in two towns in the north that are besieged by anti-Assad rebels. A binding Security Council resolution could formally oblige the authorities to let aid agencies into areas like the Damascus suburbs and the old city of Homs, where local doctors say children are dying of malnutrition. But divisions between Western powers, backing the rebels, and Russia, have paralysed the world body over Syria since the conflict began in 2011. Of course, Reuters excuses itself once again from having to qualify any of its claims particularly those regarding the intentional starving and freezing of women and children. It does so by stating: Lack of access for independent agencies makes it hard to verify food and medical supplies in many areas. But opposition activists have posted video of the bodies of several skeletal children who local doctors say died of malnutrition. Once again, accusations of the Syrian governments crimes against humanity are solely based on the activists say school of journalism, where rebel propagandists renowned as serial liars, have posted videos of unverified footage then reported as fact by their Western collaborators with disclaimers later buried deep within reports. What the West is Using the UN for this Time The gambit is twofold. First, to portray the Syrian government as guilty of yet more crimes against humanity, which then justifies the second passing a binding UN Security Council resolution that would give the West direct access to their terrorist proxies inside of Syria under the guise of providing humanitarian aid. This is being done in conjunction with plans to drop the pretense of moderate rebels, and fully back Al Qaeda and other extremist fronts through a network of proxies including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, and Jordan. In a recente-mail leak released by the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA), correspondences between US contractor Matthew Van Dyke and Western journalists revealed that in addition to intentionally deceiving the public regarding the nature of the conflict, aid shipments were being used to smuggle in equipment, fighters, and weapons. Stories like Alakhbar Englishs Qatar Red Crescent Funds Syrian Rebel Arms, also raises immense concern about so-called aid flowing into Syria specifically to help those fighting the government. The article reports: Sources in the investigation team said that Mahmoud confessed to receiving around $2.2 million from Khaled Diab, a Qatar Red Crescent official. He was then to hand the money over to a Lebanese cleric identified as O.O., born in 1983 and affiliated with Muslims Without Borders, in the Bekaa village of Bar Elias. Through the cleric, Mahmoud was able to acquire 30 RPG launchers for $900,000 and 300 shells for $300,000, which were then transferred to Syria by a smuggler known as Anwar or his nom de guerre Abu Salah. The smuggler then handed over the weapons to the Syrian national known as Abu Abdullah in the Damascus countryside. Mahmoud also bought 100 Kalashnikovs and an ammunitions cache for $40,000 from the Ain al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon. The source added that Mahmoud entered the refugee camp with the Syrian national Mohammad Abdullah, known as Abu Hamza, under the guise of distributing humanitarian aid to refugees from Syria. One can only imagine what will be bought and done with the $6.5 billion the UN has called for to assist those in terrorist-held territory. It will most likely be fed directly into the terror networks the NATO and its regional allies have been preparing to expand. Should the UN decide to truly care about ending the ongoing catastrophe that is the proxy invasion of Syria by foreign-backed terrorists, it could always point out the true nature of the conflict and hold those responsible for it, NATO and its regional axis, fully accountable. Anything less is but a criminal rouse meant to intentionally perpetuate the conflict and give the West yet another chance to end it on terms they find favorable.

1	Washington Redskins defensive end D'Aundr Banks gave 'all thanks and praise to my personal Lord and Savior Jesus Christ' Monday for giving him the strength he needed to fatally stab bouncer Isaac Edmonds and ex-girlfriend Pamela Hamilton outside a Charleston nightclub early Sunday morning. Redskins All-Pro D'Aundr Banks sacks an opponent during a 1999 game. 'All glory to Jesus,' the 25-year-old Banks, who attended the University of South Carolina, told reporters from his cell in the Charleston County Jail. 'He is with me in this dark hour, as He was in our devastating 14-13 playoff loss to the Buccaneers. His love will see me through this.' According to police reports, at approximately 2:30 a.m., a visibly intoxicated Banks became involved in an altercation with Edmonds regarding who would accompany Hamilton home. When Edmonds attempted to restrain Banks, the 288-pound devout Christian produced a knife and stabbed Edmonds and Hamilton repeatedly. He then fled to the home of girlfriend and Hooters waitress Lisa Nolan in nearby Summerville, where police arrested him several hours later. 'First off, I'd like to say 'great job' to Isaac and Pamela, who put up a heck of a fight and have nothing to be ashamed of,' Banks said. 'They were terrific opponents, and it's too bad somebody had to lose a life. But the Lord Jesus Christ was truly with me Saturday night. He guided my hand when I was able to make that big hit on Isaac, and I really felt His presence when I stepped up and made that great slashing cut to bring Pamela down from behind.' Added Banks: 'Jesus really let me take this homicide to the next level. Thank you, Jesus!' Banks, who has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, has been a devout born-again Christian ever since his hot-tub baptism at the hands of Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver and ordained minister Irving Fryar during Pro Bowl week in 1997. Emergency personnel load one of Banks' victims into an ambulance. 'I was a mess before Jesus took my hand,' Banks said. 'At South Carolina, I'd show up late to practice, stay out late running around with the wrong crowd, all kinds of bad things. I was about to squander the precious gift of football God blessed me with. But through His grace, I was drafted in the fourth round and sent to the NFL to meet Rev. Fryar, who showed me that Jesus wanted me to glorify Him and play on His team.' Continued Banks: 'D'Aundr Banks' life would be nothing without Christ's faith. Without His peace and love, D'Aundr Banks never would have gotten his time in the 40 down to 4.6 for the 1995 NFL scouting combines, and he never would have had the strength to turn a big guy like Isaac Edmonds around with just one arm and stab him.' Jeff Rosenzweig, Banks' Miami-based agent and manager, said his client has been unfairly represented by the media in its coverage of the double homicide. 'All the papers are branding D'Aundr a murderer, as if that's all there is to him,' Rosenzweig said. 'But in their mad rush to demonize D'Aundr, they neglect to mention his deep dedication to the D'Aundr Banks Helps Kids Tackle Drugs For A Loss Foundation and the Big 98 Safety In The End Zone Safe House For Women. Or, for that matter, that he acknowledges the workings of Christ in his everyday life. No, you don't see any of those things mentioned in the articles about him. It's all 'homicide this' and 'seven-inch stab wound that.'' Banks, whose preliminary hearing is scheduled for Feb. 22 in Charleston County Court, said his fate is in Christ's hands. 'I don't know what will happen to me. That's up to the Lord,' Banks said. 'The Bible tells us that nothing is done on this Earth but that is done through God. No multimillion-dollar contract extension, no game-saving interception, no acquittal on both counts of first-degree murder happens without Him.' 
2	BREAKING: Hillary Caught Red Handed FUNDING TERRORISM... It Is Over Donald Trump has never been one to hold back on social media, but one editorial article he shared this week tops the charts as the harshest. The article, which was published by one of Americas biggest newspapers, accused Hillary Clinton of being funded by terrorism and repressive regimes. The New York Post piece claims that there have been huge donations to the Clinton Family Foundation by Shariah law governments involved in terrorist activities. It also claims that these groups actively persecute LGBT people. In the wake of the massacre in Orlando, Clinton has tried to position herself as a friend to these communities. She even called out Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait for funding extremist organizations and supporting radical schools and mosques all over the world. What she didnt mention is that all three also fundher, the article opens. The three countries are all guilty as charged. And theyre not just funders of terrorism: All three make homosexual acts punishable by prison or even death, the article continues. But the Clintons have taken millions of dollars from those same governments through their family foundation. The Saudis have not only given $10 million to $25 million to the foundation, they also donated $10 million to help fund Bill Clintons presidential library, the article notes, pointing out that this rather tarnishes Clintons proud post-Orlando vow to the LGBT community that she will keep fighting for your right to live freely, openly and without fear. The article also points out that there remains to be any sign that Hillary has ever tried to do anything substantive about either problem. Let alone say, Bill and I wont take your cash unless you end your repressive, anti-women, anti-gay and pro-terrorist policies. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous? We cant have a president who is funded by terrorism. 
1	In the type of wager normally placed between mayors of the cities playing in major sporting events, coach Andy Reid vowed to eat any number of Arizona delicacies should his team lose to the Cardinals, as opposed to local Philadelphia cuisine if his Eagles win.'Green corn tamales, tequila shrimp, Yucatn steam-roasted turkey; if they win, I promise you now that I will eat anything and everything Arizona has to offer,' Reid said at Wednesday's media day, wiping the corner of his mouth with his sleeve throughout the press conference. 'But if we win? Not only do I get to eat a nice big Philly cheesesteak from every major cheesesteak purveyor in the city, I also get some Pennsylvania Dutch soft pretzels, a plate of scrapple, and a hoagie of my choosing. Actually, since I've already paid for it, I might as well just eat both cities' foods. It'd be a shame to let it go to waste.' When asked about the AFC Championship Game between Baltimore and Pittsburgh, Reid expressed a slight preference for crab cakes over french-fry-stuffed sandwiches. 
2	Hillary Clinton Says That Most Women Sit Around The House Hillary Clinton has tried to use the fact that she is a woman to fuel support for her presidency. Her main democratic opponent, Bernie Sanders, has been criticized for exhibiting sexism. GOP frontrunner Donald Trump has also come under fire and been painted a misogynist. Sanders was first criticized when his campaign manager commented that Clinton would make a great vice president. Were willing to give her more credit than Obama did, Jeff Weaver commented. Were willing to consider her for vice president. Well give her serious consideration. Well even interview her. While those two comments are indeed competitive, they are not sexist. In contrast, however, one should examine the comments that Hillary has made in her life. In the late 1990s, when Hillary was discussing welfare reform, she described women recipients as sitting around the house doing nothing and suggested that they substitute dignity for dependence. Hillary has not been publicly criticized for these remarks against poor women throughout America, but since shes throwing stones Its clear that Hillary is taking a page from Obamas book, when he based his campaign on change and being the first black president. Clinton seems to be getting a free pass as a feminist, but she has actually made decisions that have harmed womens rights in the past. What do you think? Would Hillary continue to destroy our country the way Obama has? 
1	Saying that hes sick of his native mountainous escarpment and tired of being surrounded by a bunch of squares, a local teen boulder revealed Monday that it desperately wants to roll down into a nearby ravine where they actually get it. The rocks and shrubs in the ravine belowthey know the deal, the adolescent stone told reporters, explaining that the boulders on the upper crags of its cliff face seriously dont have a clue. Down there, they get who I am and what Im all about. Not like the losers up here. The boulder went on to claim that it couldnt take its current surroundings much longer and would definitely roll down into the ravine after another 500 or 600 years of erosion, tops.

1	DETROITIn a strongly worded pronouncement to all y'all motherfuckers, Detroit resident Dwayne Combs urged all y'all to go fuck yo' selves Monday. 'Y'all be bullshit,' said Combs in a 3:17 a.m. address from the corner of Woodward Avenue and Grand Boulevard. 'And yo' mama, too.' Monday's statement marked the normally reclusive Combs' first since an October 1998 appeal to Detroit's city council to kiss his big, black ass. Representatives for all y'all have not yet responded to Combs' themselves-fucking offer. 
1	The San Diego Zoo continues to welcome the record crowds coming from far and wide to see its latest attraction: Ren, the first Indian rhinoceros stillborn in captivity. What really captivates people about Ren is that he was born far too early and came into the world as just the tiniest little expulsion of mucus-covered fetal tissue, said animal keeper Jeff Cooperman, speaking to reporters Friday about the zoos newest superstar. Everybody loves Ren, from the schoolkids who voted in our Name the Dead Rhino Fetus contest to the grownups who are charmed by the way he just lies there by his mom and are quick to notice the miniature tip of his underdeveloped horn nub. Additionally, Cooperman noted that the gift shops bestselling items were lumpy, red-flecked stuffed toys made in the likeness of Ren. 
2	Bill OReilly Goes OFF On Sean Hannity For Being A [VIDEO] Although they both work for Fox News, Bill OReilly and Sean Hannity have been known to be at odds. This animosity was revealed in a Newsweek article written by Howard Kurtz, when Fox News head Roger Ailes was quoted saying OReilly had moderated his views and that Beck scared him. Later, OReilly was questioned to see whether the comment had any merit. Oh thats absolutely true, OReilly teased. But I hate everybody. You can throw any name in there. OReilly then proceeded to defense both Ailes and Beck. We love Roger, OReilly laughed. Roger loves to be a provocateur. I get a kick out of him. Why would I have Glenn Beck on my program every Friday and go out on the road with him if I was frightened by him? Noticeably missing from that list was Hannity. What do you think? Are you a bigger fan of OReilly or Hannity? Do you understand their feud? 
3	Regional Conflict Brewing in Azerbaijan, ArmeniaBy Brandon Turbeville On April 5, Russia was able to organize and mediate between chief officials of the Azeri and Armenian militaries and clench a ceasefire agreement on the contact line in Nagorno-Karabkh, the area currently being fought over by the two countries and Armenian militias. However, ever since the ceasefire agreement was made, both sides have traded accusations that the other side has violated the agreement. In fact, the accusations of violations are so numerous that one could scarcely call the ceasefire a functioning agreement. For instance, Armenia has claimed that, in the last 24 hours alone, Azerbaijan has violated the ceasefire 50 times. There have been similar claims against the Armenians by the Azeris. The roots of the Azeri-Armenian conflict are connected to both national histories and the fall of the Soviet Union as well as ethnic histories and regional ties. Essentially, in the late 1980s a referendum was held by the inhabitants of the Nagorno-Karabkh region where the majority Armenian population largely voted for reunification with Armenia while the minority Azeri population boycotted the vote. The vote obviously favored independence from Azerbaijan and reunification with Armenia causing a rift between both countries which escalated from a political disagreement and social disharmony to outright violence and eventually military operations that only grew as the Soviet collapse appeared more and more imminent. Nagorno-Karabkh is a small enclave located within Azerbaijan but whose territory is actually held by Armenian paramilitaries and the self-declared Government of Nargorno-Karabkh. In fact, the territory held by Armenian forces surround and extent past the boundaries of Nagorno-Karabkh, which creates a novel border dispute between the two countries as well as a porous border situation. In Azerbaijan, the declaration of separation and the subsequent defeat to Armenian forces, who were perceived as drastically inferior both in terms of military and demographic strength, intensified nationalist feelings. As a result, a campaign of destruction of ancient Armenian sites took place in Azerbaijan in an apparent Azeri attempt to erase any cultural and historical evidence and legacy that Armenians had in the country as well as to provide the opportunity for the falsification of history in regards to the Armenian presence and connection to the land. As such, this is the same method that was employed by Turkey in the time leading up to the Armenian genocide. It is the same method as that of ISIS regarding Shiite, Christian, and other religious artifacts and sites. As a result, after being faced with the anti-Armenian sentiment in Azerbaijan, the Armenians in Nagorno-Karabkh are even more entrenched and committed to the idea of independence and separation from the Azeri national government. Turkey plays a conspicuous role in the Azeri/Armenian conflict. Interestingly enough, the Azeris have ethnic and linguistic ties to the Turks and Turkey has shared a rich and bloody history of discrimination, antipathy, and violence toward Armenians. This anti-Armenian history, coupled with Erdogans Islamism, has contributed to the reasoning behind Erdogans recent statement that Turkey stands with Azerbaijan to the end. Of course geopolitical elements are at play here as well. After all, the Turkish nationalist Grey Wolves operate a chapter in Azerbaijan, a clear indication that NATO and not only the Turks has a clear foothold in Azerbaijan. Indeed, Azerbaijan is an active participant in NATOs Partnership For Peace and Individual Partnership Action Plan. Azerbaijan has also shown signs that it intends to become a member of NATO proper in the near future. Armenia, for its part, is also a member of the NATO Partnership For Peace program, the Partnership Against Terrorism, and the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council. While it is not a member of NATO, there are talks of the future of Armenia by opposition parties who argue for joining the Anglo-American world army. On the other hand, Russia is also heavily involved in both Armenia and Azerbaijan. In 2015, a report was released which claimed that Azerbaijan purchased around 85% of its weapons from Russia in the past five years. The weapons transfers amounted to about $4 billion worth of transactions. Russian ties go deeper with Armenia, however, since the tiny nation hosts two Russian military bases there, serving as an extension of Russian influence as well as a deterrent against Turkey. With Russia maintaining such close ties with both nations, it presents a very precarious position for the Russian leadership in regards to the Azeri/Armenian conflict. On one hand, weapons deals and military bases provide a close relationship with which to negotiate a peaceful solution. On the other hand, a close relationship with both countries provides for the necessity to walk very carefully so as not to appear to be taking one side over the other and thus isolating one of the Russian partners. One false step can cost Russia either billions and influence or bases and influence. With all of this in mind, (i.e. the Russian influence and arms sales to both countries as well as the growing/ever-present NATO Western influence), both Armenia and Azerbaijan are clearly attempting to walk a tightrope between two world powers amid a potentially explosive situation that could ignite the region in conflagration. With both the Syrian and the Armenian/Azeri conflict holding so much interest for Russia and Turkey, the potential for Erdogan to overplay his hand is a distinct possibility. As with the hubris of many world leaders, however, the most unfortunate aspect to a loss of ones senses is that the general population pays the price in blood and treasure.

1	According to a troubling report released Friday by Purdue University, instances of women dreamily sliding down the back of their front door after kissing a date on the porch of their residence have plummeted 78 percent. We found that among those who have just received a tender kiss goodnight, the number who then step inside, quietly lock up, and immediately experience such a pure, unbridled wave of joy that they must lean against a wall is at an all-time low, said lead researcher Sharon Kaplan, who confirmed the dramatic decline in individuals who allow their knees to buckle while sinking to the ground with a contented sigh. Additionally, we saw a sharp decrease in subjects who remain on the floor, hands pressed together over their chest, softly whispering the name of their sweetheart. Researchers added that at the current rate, instances in which smitten women then look out through their window shade to find their date jumping in the air and clicking his heels together could soon vanish completely. 
2	Brave Marine Holds Nothing Back, Brutally Unleashes On Michelle Obama In A Way She Never Imaged Michelle Obama has proven herself to be completely clueless when it comes to respecting and understanding our men and women in uniform. This was made abundantly clear last summer, when Michelle was asked to give the commencement speech at Tuskegee University. Unsurprisingly, she used the platform to discuss racismcomplaining about the personal hardships that she and her husband have endured. Shes trying to identify with the struggle, one conservative wrote of her speech. Its very calculated, the statements that the First Lady makesShes a master of this kind of social agitation. Now, one Marine has decided to call Michelle out for her pathetic attempts. Read his letter to the First Lady below and tell us what you think: Mrs. Obama It sickens me that I have to take time to write you this letter. I am a Marine who doesnt recognize color because every color has lived and died for you. You live in a free country to blame your poor pathetic life on the color of another mans skin. All colors have given their lives for an educated woman to have the freedom to be so ignorant. I dont blame black people for the ignorance that comes from your mouth. I love all colors because I love all that God creates. I dont have to like you to love you and today is no different. I dont like you or your husband because of your character hidden behind your skin. Isnt it funny how the truth always reveals itself in time. You and your husband never showed this side of yourselves in 2008 before he was elected. You both live better than 99% of the people in this world because of this country. You said that you are for the first time proud to be an American. Well, I will tell you that most of us are ashamed of you. You and your husband have become millionaires off the people of this country, but demonstrate very little appreciation for all that we give.White, black, brown or indifferent millions have fought and died for you to have the freedom to say the ignorant things you say. You are educated, but clearly have very little common sense. You blame past generations of Americans for the troubles of a few. Stop blaming white people for your misery and take a look at yourself in the mirror. We are all responsible for our own happiness and misery. The KKK is ignorance wrapped in a sheet while the Black panthers are raised on ignorance and hate. No different from the cult of Islam thinking their race is better than all other men. God is love and creates every color to include our skin. To truly love God is to love all that He loves. For that I love each of you and pray that we all start taking responsibility for our own damned sins. Martin Luther King had a dream that we would all live in the promise land. He is not remembered for being black. He is remembered for the love, and character he had within his heart. If you dont like this country get on that plane and never come back. I will stay here and love all Americans, regardless of skin. I will love the beauty of what God created and stand tall with my American friends. Not because of their color but for the character and love they carry within. This country doesnt owe you anymore than it owes me. So many have thanked me for my service and I will always be grateful. I pray that one day you and your husband might cause me to be grateful for yours. You will never be remembered as the First Lady of Color but soon forgotten after you leave the White House. You nor your husband shall ever divide us. I wish you no harm, but pray you will get the hell off of this American land If you wish to find me I am now a writer for the DC Gazette.

'With the click of a mouse, Fotomatshop will make your digital photographs crease, develop fingerprint spots, and even stick together in their 'virtual shoebox,'' Kodak president Antonio Perez said. 'It even has motion-blur and redden-eye features.' The software takes a week to process 26 digital photos, and charges $9.95 per use. 
1	After weeks of political infighting, Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia announced the appointment of Hassan Al-Katif as the region's new Minister of Rubble and Urban Development Tuesday. Arafat congratulates Al-Katif amid a prime patch of rubble. 'It is a great honor for me to name a man as experienced as Mr. Al-Katif to this post,' Qureia said at a press conference held on top of a pile of rocks that was formerly a local mosque. 'Palestine is in need of a strong leader to spark growth in urban areas and manage our burgeoning rubble sector, which is the fastest growing in the world.' The appointment came after several weeks of discord between Qureia and Palestinian leader Yassir Arafat over who should replace the region's 30-day emergency rubble minister. Al-Katif was strongly backed by Arafat. 'Having worked in the private sector as a rubble developer and organizer, Mr. Al-Katif understands Palestine's rubble situation,' Arafat said. 'He has a strong plan that charts a path to capitalization on our vast and ever-increasing supply of rock fragments and crumbled masonry.' Continued Arafat: 'Palestinians need a man of Mr. Al-Katif's unequaled vision. In the coming years, he will oversee the construction of many wonderful new schools, courthouses, banks, and monuments. He will then truck away the remains of those buildings and monuments when they're reduced to gravel and dust.' Arafat said Al-Katif has great plans for 'the West Bank's most abundant resource.' 'We have chosen a man who not only accepts the reality of continued rubble creation for the foreseeable future, but also embraces it,' Arafat said. 'I see the Palestinian people forever rich in rubble. We must utilize our extensive rubble resources to rebuild and re-rebuild Palestine.' Al-Katif took the podium and briefly outlined his plans for the region. The Ministry of Rubble and Urban Development, located in a bustling rubble district in Ramallah. 'The ministry will provide universal access to potable water, electric and sewage-treatment facilities, and adequate housing,' Al-Katif said. 'We will also move many huge piles of brick, garbage, dirt, and broken glass.' Al-Katif then took a moment to memorialize Amir Al-Lozari, the former RUD Minister. Al-Lozari was killed in what Israeli occupation forces characterized as an 'accidental burst of gunfire,' while surveying a new rubble development on the former site of the 1,400-year-old Abu Al-Sharim library. 'Amir was more than a boss to mehe was a friend,' Al-Katif said. 'He was a visionary, an important contributor to rubble theory, and a brilliant pragmatist when it came to the urban development of Palestinian lands. We will miss Amir, but we will remember him by continuing the great work he started.' Al-Katif responded to a reporter who suggested that his plan focused more on rubble than on urban development. 'These are two sides of the same coin,' Al-Katif said. 'Today's development is tomorrow's pile of rubble, and today's pile of rubble is tomorrow's makeshift shelter for a displaced family. It is all part of the same cycle.' Some have expressed reservations about Al-Katif's appointment, citing his early career as a building owner and landlord as a possible conflict of interest. 'Hassan Al-Katif owns, or has a financial interest in, more than 20 separate piles of rubble,' said community organizer Saadiqa Muhammad. 'Can we expect him to make impartial judgments about zoning and public-rubble works, given that he has a personal stake in rubble sites all over the region?' Al-Katif insisted that his interests lie with the people. 'For too long, rubble has been viewed as the sole property of the government,' Al-Katif said. 'RUD needs to make affordable rubble available to all, and to provide the economic incentive for personal and private development of Palestine's many massive piles of rocks and debris. The opportunity is there, if someone takes the initiative and stacks the rubble neatly.' One of Al-Katif's first initiatives will be aimed at a segment of the population often ignored by RUD: the youth. 'In spite of tough economic times, more and more young people are becoming rubble-owners. Take, for example, 16-year-old Dinuk Wijurnai, who recently returned to his neighborhood and found himself sole owner of the pile of rubble that was once his family home,' Al-Katif said. 'The future of this country is in the hands, and under the feet, of children like Dinuk.' 
2	See What Shocking Comment John Kerry Just Made About Release Of Taliban Leaders Recently, John Kerry revealed that he believes that the Obama Administrations recent exchange of five Taliban leaders in exchange for Bowe Bergdahl was the right thing to do. According to Kerry, America can easily protect from any future attacks that the Taliban may plan. Now, the five Taliban members who were released are required to remain within their own borders, and are under careful watch of the government. According to Kerry, there are other people monitoring the released detainees as well. This apparently fuels his assurance that things are under control. Kerrys comments may be viewed as a bit ironic, given the way that Benghazi was handled when the embassy was attacked. Four officials were killed that night. And if the men that night were not protected, how can Kerry be so sure that Americans are protected now? Further, even the most powerful of nations are not exempt from attack. Take a look at September 11, for instance. What do you think? Are Kerrys comments naive and unrealistic, or do you think that we are truly exempt from attack?

3	Obama to Tweak Health Privacy Laws to Disarm AmericansEric Blair Since the tragic mass shootings in Aurora, Colorado and Newtown, Connecticut, strong lines were drawn in the gun debate, yet most tend to agree that improving access to mental health should be part of any gun control discussion. It makes sense to the general public since all mass shooters are clearly mentally disturbed and most were found to be on anti-depressants or anti-psychotics. Not everyone who owns guns is mentally disturbed, but every mass shooter is, so lets just stop those people from buying guns, right? Obama intends to do just that. Reuters reports today that the Obama administration is preparing to tweak health privacy laws in order to beef up the number of names on the gun no buy list with people who have received treatment for mental illnesses. From Reuters: President Barack Obama said he wants to see state governments contribute more names of people barred from buying guns to the database, part of a sweeping set of executive actions he announced after a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, in December. The database, called the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS, is used by gun dealers to check whether a potential buyer is prohibited from owning a gun. States are encouraged to report to the database the names of people who are not allowed to buy guns because they have been involuntarily committed to a mental hospital, or have been found to have serious mental illnesses by courts. Many states do not participate. So the administration is looking at changing a health privacy rule part of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to remove one potential barrier. Since broad gun control measures have failed to pass through Congress, Obama claims the power to take these actions without congressional approval. In March Obama signed anexecutive order to bolster the national gun registry. He directed $20 million to the Department of Justice to expand the NICS andincentivize states, territories and tribes to share information with NICS by closing information gaps that inhibit complete and accurate background checks. Reuters refers to these executive actions as small steps that can be done without Congress: So the administration has been left with a series of smaller steps it can take without congressional approval, such as tweaking the health privacy law to make sure it does not prevent states from reporting names to the NICS database. The privacy law Obama seeks to change without Congress is the Privacy Rule of HIPAA which sets limits and conditions on the uses and disclosures that may be made of such information without patient authorization and also gives patients rights over their health information, including rights to examine and obtain a copy of their health records. Although the exact tweaks Obama and the HHS plan to make remain undisclosed, the regulation itself already seems to give the executive branch great leeway in the sharing of private health data. Each so-called privacy protection detailed in the act has an exemption in case of an Executive Order. In other words, Obama can trample those privacy protections for public health and safety. In April, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said that health privacy is secondary to protecting our children and communities from potentially dangerous individuals: In order to protect our children and communities, we must ensure that information on potentially dangerous individuals who are prohibited from possessing firearms is available to the background check system. We do not want to discourage individuals who need help from seeking mental health services, and our actions will be carefully tailored to ensure patient confidentiality as well as public health and safety. Its the same give-up-your-privacy-for-security excuse we see used over and over again by this anti-civil liberties administration, but this move has the added benefit of removing the 2nd Amendment as well. Two birds with one stone for an ambitious tyrant. But this will only affect a small minority of Americans, right? Wrong. A recent Mayo Clinic study revealed that a staggering 70% of Americans are on prescription drugswith antipsychotics being among the most frequently prescribed. Dr. St. Sauver of Mayo Clinic says the second most common prescription [after diabetes and heart disease] was for antidepressants that suggests mental health is a huge issue and is something we should focus on. Virtually every emotion experienced by a human being sadness, grief, anxiety, frustration, impatience, excitement is now being classified as a mental disorder demanding chemical treatment (with prescription medications, of course). The new, upcoming DSM-5 psychiatry bible, expected to be released in a few months, has transformed itself from a medical reference manual to a testament to the insanity of the industry itself. Mental disorders named in the DSM-5 include General Anxiety Disorder or GAD for short. GAD can be diagnosed in a person who feels a little anxious doing something like, say, talking to a psychiatrist.

1	Noting that there are millions of entrepreneurs throughout the country who are in the same difficult position, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump responded to a question about the economy at Thursday nights primary debate by sharing an anecdote about meeting a struggling small business owner who isnt half the man he is. Last month, I was speaking with John Perkins, a good, hardworking fellow who runs his own grocery store in Waterloo, Iowa, and who, like so many others out there, is a pathetic, small-time loser without a single shred of my business skills, said Trump, who explained that Perkins recent struggles to keep his business afloat are a direct result of his incompetence and total lack of qualifications for the job, adding that Perkins embarrassing rinky-dink operation is peanuts compared to The Trump Organization. This bozo has no idea what hes doing. In fact, he might be the worst grocery store owner in the entire state of Iowa. I could run a grocery store thats 1,000 times better than this lightweights. But hes worried his kids may not be able to go to college, and its no surprise, given how stupid those little slobs sounded when I talked to them. Im telling you, this family has no shot. No shot. Trump added that under his administration, he will buy out morons like Perkins and turn their businesses into the finest, top-of-the-line moneymakers. 
2	Reality TV Star From Pawn Stars Publicly Humiliates Obama Recently, Rick Harrison, star of the hit reality show Pawn Stars and owner of the Gold Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas, sat down with Fox and Friends to discuss the result of Obamas Affordable Care Act as a small business owner. While on the show, Harrison revealed just how severely Obamacare has affected his business. According to Harrison, the healthcare mandate has driven the cost of his employees medical coverage from $19,000 to $30,000 a month. I mean its really difficult to do business sometimes, Harrison claimed. I have 60-year-old women who have to have pregnancy coverage now. I mean I have some of the squarest ex-cops working for me now that have to have drug rehab. What do you think? Did you see this coming? 
2	Muslims Banning 9/11 Memorial Because Its Racist The September 11 Memorial at Ground Zero has become a place for Americans and tourists from all over the world to learn about the tragic event that took the lives of many Americans over a decade ago. Now a historical landmark, the memorial offers a complementary brochure in 10 different languages. Arabic, however, is not one of them. According to the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, thats a problem. The group sent angry letters to the creators of the memorials, stating that it was unacceptable that the worlds fourth most spoke language was not being offered. Our fear is that there is a political intention behind the exclusion, claimed Raed Jarrar, director of the ADC. The overseers of the memorial contested the accusation, claiming that there are simply not enough Arabic speakers who visit the memorial. They also told the group that 87% of their visitors speak at least one of the following languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Mandarin, Italian, Japanese and Russian. What do you think? Should the memorial have to include Arabic, or is their reasoning justified?

2	Heres How Michelle Obama Really Got Into Princeton... Disgusting Throughout her time in the White House, Michelle Obama has bragged about her time as an Ivy League scholar at Princeton University. Now, its been revealed that it wasnt exactly her smarts that got her into the institution. According to Angela McGlowan, who appeared on Fox Friends on Tuesday, Michelle Obama got into Princeton thanks to affirmative action. I think that so many people are critical of her because her husband has used race to divide this country, McGlowan claimed. By the way, why didnt the first lady share that the reason she got into Princeton was probably because of affirmative action? The reason she became an associate at a law firm was probably because of diversity, that they needed a woman. Im not saying she wasnt qualified. But they needed a woman, and a woman of color. Thats a two-fer, McGlowan concluded her controversial rant. Now, her comments have caused outrage in the liberal community, who is calling McGlowan a racist. What do you think of McGlowans rant? Do her comments have merit or did she take things too far? 
3	Do You Even Know How Many Troops Our Govt Has Sent to Fight ISIS at This Point?Melissa Melton I didnt until today. Goshyou know, it wasnt so long ago that people were outraged at the thought of a U.S. intervention in Syria. Americans were calling up their Congresspeople en masse to let their voices be heard that NO we didnt want to go there. Over at Truthstream, we called and called and called Congress, and we reported heavily on how the whole thing would be a lie like so many other banker wars America has fought, and that this one had to do with encircling Russia, more regime change and taking over resources Well, its a little over a year later and quite obviously we were right, although it wasnt a hard call to make because its pretty much what every war America fights is about. They want to rewrite the map and control everything. A little over a year later, and now look at where we are. The American government found its way into Syria one way or another, didnt it. (That was rhetorical). The red line didnt work, so the boogeymen of ISIS (which our government funded, trained and armed) did the trick. Who knows what inane BS they wouldve had to make up if that hadnt done it. Space aliens? Thats right. Four thousand six hundred troops are now fighting ISIS. Fox also reported that, Up to 10,800 U.S. troops will remain in Afghanistan for the first three months of next year, 1,000 more than previously planned, said a NATO official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss troop deployments. Dont worry, theyre going to remain in advisory roles (whatever that means); surely their boots arent on the ground. Theyre probably either levitating or wearing flip flops. Maybe both. Weve also been drone bombing Syria and Iraq. NATO airstrikes have, oh so curiously, targeted oil refineries and grain silos in Syria. You know, because ISIS (the new reason that apparently works for doing whatever the government wants to over there these days). Our governments strikes have also killed way more innocent people (as per the usual) than actual targets. In fact, a report released recently found that even though our president and his administration continue to try and assuage the American publics fears by claiming our drone program is careful and calculated, of 41 drones strikes aimed to hit specific individuals, a whopping 1,147 people were killed. Gee. Collateral damage I guess. Our government can call it foreign policy or whatever it wants to frankly, but we are at war. Again. With insert bad guy here. Does the average citizen even know how many countries we are concurrently drone striking at this point? Does it matter to them? Dont you think it should? Were living through a time when the declaration of war is basically meaningless. America has been at war my childrens entire lives. Hell, Ive been on this planet over thirty years and I couldnt find a single one of those years where our government wasnt up to something war-related somewhere. And while the government and media is busy here at home stirring the pot on a race war to keep us Americans fighting amongst ourselves over the police state (as if thats a new thing when it really isnt and all of us, regardless of race, should be pissed about it), they arent really talking about that pesky little WORLD WAR III theyve been busy working on with Russia over there this whole time I wish this nation would wake up and see all that. We made our voices heard last year on a Syria interventionand it actually worked. This year? Theyve got a lot of people shaking in their boots over ISIS, which again, you do realize was armed, trained and funded by good ol Uncle Sam, right? But again Syria just like ISIS, just like Iraq,just like 9/11, just like Al Qaeda, just like Ukraine,just like Vietnam, just like Benghazi, just like Afghanistan, just like Obamacare isnt a tax (but they had to sign the bill to find out what was in it), just like the NSA isnt spying on Americans, just like whatever they wont admit in the torture report, just like there wont be any boots on the ground is all another big fat stinking lie.

1	After stopping to question a visibly inebriated man who was seen stumbling on the sidewalk outside a local bar, police officers confirmed they were satisfied Saturday night once the individual assured them there was no problem. Just before midnight we encountered an intoxicated male in his 30s who was shouting loudly, slurring his words, and propping himself up against a mailbox; however, after he informed us he was totally good, we determined that no further action was needed, officer Jack Bara said, adding that the man further confirmed the situation was under control by giving them a thumbs-up. Once he steadied himself and reiterated that he was fine nine times in a row, we realized there was indeed no issue and moved along. The officers stated that they waved the mans car through a traffic stop roughly a half hour later, noting that the individual had earlier attested that he was great 100 percent. 
2	What George W. Bush Just Did For Injured Vets Will Bring You To Tears Although he has been out of the White House for some time now, former President George W. Bush continues to support our troops and veterans with a passion that President Obama clearly lacks. According to recent reports, Bush is participating in a 100-kilometer, three-day bike ride with 20 veterans who have been wounded in the global war on terrorism. This year marks the fifth time the event has been held. Ill be riding across the deserts of Texas with wounded warriors to show the unbelievable character of our men and women in uniform, Bush said in a statement. Its a ride to herald people who were dealt a severe blow and said, Im not going to let it tear me down. The Warriors 100 is a special bond between the former commander in chief and those who answer the nations call, Col. Miguel Howe, director of the Military Service Initiative, told the Blaze. Those who have participated in the event call it life-changing claiming that it gives them a resource that makes them feel less alone. You talk about a defining moment in life, Marlene Urena, the spouse of a wounded warrior recalls. I had the president of the United States show compassion and understanding for what I have gone through and what I was going through. What do you think? Was Bush a better president than Obama will ever be? 
2	Radical Muslim Group Threatens US Navy With THIS... According to recent reports, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) group just announced that they intend to sue the United States Navy. Why? Because of the organizations controversial ban on facial hair. The controversy reportedly came to light after a Muslim American who served in the U.S. Navy was refused reenlistment because he made the decision to grow a beard. According to Jonathan Berts, he wanted to grow his beard because it is a Muslim tradition. Berts was denied his request to grow his beard when he cited the reasoning for the request as his faith of Islam. He also claims that he faced a barrage of derogatory terms, anti-Islamic slurs, and inappropriate lines of questions about his religious beliefs and loyalty to the United States during his service. Since the incident with Berts in 2011, the Department of Defense has made changes to its policy to accommodate religious beliefs. We appreciate that the Department of Defense has made strides in updating its stance on religious accommodations, the CAIR attorney told reporters, but claims that the action does not remedy the harm caused. What do you think of the lawsuit?

3	2015 NDAA Gives Native American Land to Foreign Mining CorporationCarey Wedler The actionis buried in the 2015 National Defense Authorization Act, which in recent years has come under fire not only for consistently approving billions of dollars for war, but for authorizing the indefinite detention of American citizens without trial. It passed in the House earlier this year. This years versionadded a provision that grants 2,400 acres of Apache land in the Tonto National Forest in Arizona to Rio Tinto, an Australian-English company. Apache medicinal, ceremonial, and burial grounds will be given to Resolution Copper, a subsidiary of Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton. Rio Tinto has been criticized by the right for sharing an African uranium mine with Iran, but the land grab is even more damning. The transfer of the Apache land passed independently in the House once in 2011, but twice last year did not garner enough support. It was opposed by both Democrats and Republicans following intense lobbying by Rio Tinto for nearly a decade. The 2015 National Defense Authorization Act, sponsored this year by Carl Levin and Howard P. Buck McKeon, contained the heist. It was slipped in by John McCainandburied on page 1,105. Terry Rambler, the chairman of the San Carlos Apache tribe, said of the heartbreaking news: Since time immemorial people have gone there. Thats part of our ancestral homelandWeve had dancers in that area forever sunrise dancers and coming-of-age ceremonies for our young girls that become women. Theyll seal that off. Theyll seal us off from the acorn grounds, and the medicinal plants in the area, and our prayer areas. In a show of cold compassion, the stolen land stops short of an area called Apache Leap. It was a summit where trapped Apaches jumped to their deaths rather than face the wrath of settlers and U.S. troops in the 19th century.Even Apache Leap, though it technically remains in control of the federal government (along with an area of oak trees), can be drilled if Rio Tinto gets permission within a 30- or 90-day wait period. The government justifies the transfer because it stands to gain land in exchange for the Apache ancestral acres. It also claims that jobs and economic development make the deal worth it. Rio Tinto saysit will generate $61 billion and 3700 direct and indirect jobs over 40 years, though the numbers are disputed. Regardless, one of the main concerns with the deal is the effect drilling will have on the ecosystem. Rio Tinto uses block cave mining, which digs for ore but causes the land above it to crack, subside, and even collapse. The mountains that will be affected currently distribute rain water and snow to the people who live on the land. Rambler said It seems like us Apaches and other Indians care more about what this type of action does to the environment and the effects it leaves behind for us, while others tend to think more about today and the promise of jobs, but not necessarily what our creator God gave to us. This years NDAA alsoincludes other questionable federal land deals thatput the environment at risk. Clearly, slipping the Apache land robbery into the NDAA was a successful attempt to push it through without scrutiny. When scrutiny was applied, the measure failed. Twice. But the NDAA invariably passes every year, even following outrage over the government and presidents declaration that it can imprison whoever it wants, when it wants, for as long as it wants. It is no secret that the NDAA has nothing to do with defense and everything to do with perpetuating Americas military empire and the governments dominion over its citizens. The addition of the Apache land transfer only further proves the inherent sham of entrusting government to keep citizens safe.

2	BREAKING: ISIS Terror Attack In Virginia... Please Pray The FBI is reportedly investigating a double stabbing in Virginia on Saturday night as a possible terrorist attack. CBS News Investigative Unit Senior Producer Pat Milton was told by authorities that the suspect yelled Allahu Akbar during the stabbing, and witnesses confirmed this report. Police claim 20-year-old Wasil Farooqui of Roanoke County stabbed a man and woman in a random attack that left both victims severly wounded and hospitalized. According to reports, Farooqui told authorities he had been hearing voices telling him that he was stupid and needed to attack. He claims he left his home to clear his head and grabbed a butcher knife from his kitchen on the way out. Shortly thereafter he arrived at The Pines apartments, where the attack took place. Farooqui claims he didnt know the victims or why he attacked them. He simply saw them walking from the pool area and went after them. The victims were attacked just before 8 p.m. and the attacker ultimately fled the scene. While officers were at the hospital, a male came into the emergency room with injuries of his own, and was later matched to the description of the suspect. Further investigation led to his arrest for the crime. A law enforcement source confirmed the FBI is investigating whether the knife attack was possible inspired by ISIS. So far, the terror group has not claimed the attack. Still, Farooqui has been on the FBIs radar for some time and is believed to be self-radicalized. 
2	The Disgusting Move Obama Pulled While Daughter Buries Her Father, A Two Star General Recently, two-star General Harold Greene was killed in combat, and was buried at the Arlington National Cemetery. Unfortunately, neither President Obama nor Joe Biden made any effort to show up to the funeral. Instead, Obama was playing golf with Cyrus Walker, president of World Bank; Jim Kim, former president of Dartmouth; and Ron Kirk, ambassador. While Obama chummed it up, Biden was on vacation in the Hamptons, just shortly after vacationing in Delaware. Once again, the pair have demonstrated just how much they care about the Americans fighting for our country. Luckily, the American people have had enough, and are speaking up against their careless absence. What do you think? Was their absence disrespectful? Should our leaders be more focused on recognizing those who give their lives for their fellow Americans? 
1	President Clinton fired the entire U.S. Cabinet Monday following an episode of the popular television program X-Files he called 'disturbing.' 'Last night, I learned that space aliens have infiltrated the highest ranks of the U.S. government, brainwashing an undetermined number of my top advisors,' Clinton said. 'In the interest of national safety, I have no choice but to fire all those who may be under the influence of these sinister beings.' Immediately following the episode, which aired on Fox at 9 p.m. EST Sunday, the president called an emergency Cabinet meeting, during which every member categorically denied knowledge of or involvement in an alien conspiracy plot. 'They refused to admit to anything,' Clinton said. 'They were obviously part of the cover-up.' 'Doubtless, many people will find my story to be ridiculous,' Clinton said. 'After all, even FBI agent Dana Scully, who has seen many such cases over the years, believed this to be the product of an over-active imagination. But I am convinced these aliens are real. How else can you explain the simultaneous disappearance of top-secret Gulf War documents from three different White House safes, all of which tested positive for traces of tetranitrohydroxylene-G, a substance found only in the distant Beta Sirius star system? And what about that Russian sailor stationed off the Alaska coast who died of massive cranial trauma even though he showed no signs of sustaining a head wound?' Clinton has tried several times to contact Scully and her partner, special agent Fox Mulder, but has gotten no response. In fact, on two separate occasions, the president was told by officials at the FBI academy in Quantico, VA, that no such agents even exist. 'Obviously,' Clinton said, 'someone in the FBI doesn't want me to talk to Scully and Mulder. Someone very high up. They know I know too much.' An FBI sketch of the alien that President Clinton witnessed on Sunday's episode of <I>X-Files</I>. Based on evidence from the show, Clinton is convinced that such otherworldly visitors are at the center of a massive conspiracy that goes all the way to the highest levels of the U.S. government. According to evidence gathered by Clinton while watching the hour-long program, in addition to controlling the minds of numerous cabinet members, the aliens also played a role in the JFK assassination. Clinton admitted, however, that the exact role they played in the assassination was unclear, as he got up to go to the bathroom during a commercial and came back late, missing a crucial segment of the show. Even more terrifying, however, is the fact that when Clinton checked his VCR, which he 'distinctly remembers' setting to tape the show, he found the unit turned off and eerily flashing '12:00.' 'Someone, or something,' Clinton said, 'has the power to break into the Oval Office and turn off my VCR without any Secret Service agents noticing. Do you now begin to see what we're dealing with? The implications are staggering.' 'Had my VCR worked, I would have had more than 44 minutesnot including commercialsof hard, irrefutable evidence of these alien conspiracies,' Clinton continued. 'It was all right thereeyewitness accounts, video footage of the alien leader exiting a UFO, even a taped confession by FBI assistant director Walter Skinner, whom the aliens brainwashed into killing his ex-wife. But now I can't prove anything.' In addition to firing his cabinet, as an added security measure Clinton has demanded that he himself be placed under close observation for the next month. As per his own orders, the president will be kept under 24-hour watch by Secret Service officials to ensure that he is not being levitated out of his window at night and brainwashed by alien forces to commit major acts of treason in an unconscious, trancelike state. 'They may have gotten me too, and I may not even know it,' said Clinton, who also demanded that he be given a full EMR scan to check for possible subcortical brain implants. 'The technology these aliens possess is beyond anything we humans have ever seen.' Despite the many unanswered questions about the alien conspiracy, the president is confident that he will learn the full story next Sunday night. 'At the end of last Sunday's episode, I stayed tuned for scenes from next week's X-Files, which I firmly believe will be the thrilling conclusion of a special two-part episode,' Clinton said. 'And according to the preview's voice-over narrator, nothing can prepare me for what will be revealed on the program.'

3	As Iraq Burns, US Plans $500 Million to Terrorists in SyriaTony Cartalucci The reportage is a stunning entanglement of contradictions, claiming that the additional funding for terrorists fighting in Syria will somehow address spillover that is in fact a direct result of US, NATO, and their Persian Gulf collaborators creation, expansion, and perpetuation of the war in Syria in the first place. The NYT also stated: Despite the NYTs attempt to portray the US as having consistently resisted providing military aid to terrorists operating along and within Syrias borders, the US, UK, NATO, and the Persian Gulf monarchies have provided terrorists hundreds of millions in aid, including weapons, equipment, and even vehicles. NATO-member Turkey has also provided air and artillery cover for terrorists during cross border operations including most recently in the northwest village of Kessab. The answer is simple. There never were any moderates to begin with. An Independent article titled, I am not fighting against al-Qaida its not our problem, says Wests last hope in Syria, claims: And even with the Independent quoting the would-be recipients of yet hundreds of millions more in Western aid, admitting they work in tandem with Al Qaeda which is now cutting a swatch of horror and mayhem across neighboring Iraq, the truth is from the very beginning, years in fact before the so-called Arab Spring even began, the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia conspired to overthrow Iran and its arch of influence, including the government of Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and surely the Iran-leaning government in Baghdad, by organizing, funding, and arming sectarian militants including Al Qaeda itself. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hershs 2007 New Yorker article, The Redirection prophetically stated (emphasis added): Throughout the rest of Hershs nine-page report, which came out 4 years before the so-called Arab Spring unfolded, is outlined in specific detail how the West and its regional allies including Israel and Saudi Arabia, were already funneling in cash and arraying armed sectarian extremists against Hezbollah inside of Lebanon and against the government of Syria. Hershs report even included a retired CIA agent who portended the sectarian nature of the impending, regional conflict. There is no denying that this premeditated conspiracy described in 2007 has now been brought to full fruition in the form of a increasingly horrific sectarian conflict the West is now poised to further expand by injecting a half-billion dollars into terrorist operations in direct support of ISIS campaigns on both sides of the Syrian-Iraqi border. For the NYT to claim injecting more cash and weapons into efforts to topple governments currently fighting Al Qaedas various regional franchises is some sort of attempt to contain spillover is disingenuous at best, and at worst a poor attempt to cover up what is essentially Washingtons open state sponsorship of the largest terrorist force ever assembled in modern history.

During his speech, he referred to himself as a Kenyan American. The LA Times reported that Obama admitted to reporters that he was afraid that if he returned to Kenya during his presidency it would look like he was playing favorites. Obama also used the speech to talk to the locals, claiming that Kenya is at a crossroads where they can either attach themselves to African traditions or they can move forward. He used his father as an example, claiming that his career was cut short by government corruption and alcoholism. Ultimately, he found disappointmentin part because he couldnt reconcile the ideas that he had for his young country with the hard realities that had confronted him, Obama claimed. And I think sometimes about what these stories tell us, what the history and the past tell us about the future. They show the enormous barriers to progress that so many Kenyans faced just one or two generations ago. What do you think? Is Obama finally admitting to his true birthplace?

Things were only made worse after the horrible comments Obama made about the Constitution. We have a president who doesnt understand or just chooses to disrespect our Constitution, Sarah Palin, former Alaska Governor, said of President Obama recently in an interview with Fox News. Palin continued on to say that Obama has single-handedly shaped immigration laws, healthcare policies, and welfare programsall without the support and approval from the American people. What we need, accordingly to Palin, is a new energy. She is in support of electing officials who will focus on states rights, instead of the expanding power of the federal government. According to Palin, we need someone who will promise to pay whatever price it is going to take to protect our Constitution. What do you think? Do you agree with Palins statements? Will you help her get rid of Obama? Comment below. 
3	Kronies to the RescueYoutube 
1	When the hot evening sun sets over Baghdad, Sulieman Hassim does not go home to his wife and family. For this Iraqi, the work day has only just begun. Hassim waves several Total Islamic War coworkers through a checkpoint. Hassim, 32, is a two-year veteran of the Baghdad police force. Despite earning 'danger pay,' he still struggles to stay afloat financially, and has had to take on a second job as a terrorist just to make ends meet. 'After my electricity and water supply were restored, I suddenly had a lot more bills to pay,' Hassim said. 'Jobs are still pretty scarce, but I figured terrorists are always hiring.' Hassim, who has previously supplemented his income with such part-time jobs as guarding gas-fueled turbines from insurgents and driving a taxi, said he was initially unsure that he was qualified for terrorist work. 'My buddy Abdullah [Bahri] worked at the Brotherhood Of Total Islamic War, and he said he'd put in a good word for me with the head sheik,' Hassim said. 'I didn't expect to hear back for a while, but before I knew it, I got an interview.' While Hassim had worried that his lack of experience and his creased suit would hurt his chances of being hired, he later said 'the only thing they seemed to care about was whether I had a car.' Although happy to have extra work, Hassim is not always able to fulfill his duties as a terrorist, resulting in some unexpected complications. 'Last week, I couldn't work a suicide-bombing shift because I had to be alive early the next morning for patrol duty,' Hassim said. 'I was calling everyone, but I had a hell of a time trying to find someone to replace me. At the last minute, Fathi [Abd al-Khalid] agreed to take the shift. That guy's such a martyr.' After less than a month as a terrorist, the physical and mental strain of working 70-hour weeks can be seen in Hassim's tired, sunken eyes and stooped posture. Complaining of exhaustion, Hassim said that he doesn't 'know what job [he's] at half the time.' Hassim (second from left) works a night shift for the Brotherhood Of Total Islamic War. 'Several times, I've found myself wondering, 'Now, why am I shooting this guy again? Because he's just stolen a can of gasoline, or because he's a cowardly informant of the hated occupier?'' Hassim said. ''Should I mow down the American soldiers at this checkpoint, or politely flash my badge?'' Hassim said he had a particularly close call last Sunday. 'I was screaming that U.S. soldiers are murderous infidels whose blood should be spilled without hesitation, when I realized that I was at the police station,' Hassim said. 'Luckily, the other officers either weren't paying attention or they agreed with me.' Hassim said it 'felt strange' to bomb an embassy outpost, punch out, report to work as a police officer, then return to the same site an hour later to secure the area. 'That's happened a couple times,' Hassim said. 'I find myself going, 'Dj vu?' And then I'm like, 'Oh, yeah.'' Hassim's supervisors at both the police station and the Brotherhood Of Total Islamic War were critical of his job performance. 'Hassim's accidental-kill rate has doubled in recent weeks,' said Capt. Badeer Mustafa, Hassim's immediate superior at the police department. 'Last week, he shot 20 civilians. I might have to dock his pay.' Mohammed al-Zahass, a high commander with the Brotherhood Of Total Islamic War, has been displeased with Hassim's performance, as well. 'Second time this week, we've had to tell him to hit 'record' on the video camera, not 'play,'' al-Zahass said. 'I couldn't believe it. I said, 'Look at the buttons if you're confused!' It's not like you can behead a hostage twice.' Hassim's family has also felt the strain. 'I rarely see my husband anymore,' Ghayda Hassim said. 'I never thought I'd say this, but I miss the early months of the occupation when Sulieman was out of work like everyone else, sipping mint tea, watching Al-Jazeera at full blast, and ordering me around like a slave. I want my old Sulieman back.' Although Hassim, like most Iraqis, would like to see an end to the bloodshed, the father of four admitted he just can't afford it. 'If the situation in Iraq were to stabilize, I could possibly lose not only one job, but two. Thankfully, I won't have to worry about that for a long, long time.' 
2	WOW, Petition Spreading Across The U.S. To Do THIS To Megyn Kelly... Following the GOP debates, the spotlight has been on the controversy between Megyn Kelly and some of the candidates for 2016particularly Donald Trump. Many feel that her comments and questions were meant to attack the Republican front-runners, and America is responding with a petition to remove Kelly from ever hosting another debate. The petition was posted on change.org and was addressed to Rupert Murdoch, CEO of News Corp, the parent company for Fox News. Its already received thousands of signature. Megyn Kelly finds the state of our union amusing and fun, whereas the viewers (our fellow citizens) deserve a much more serious moderator, the petition begins. In addition, she had a clear agenda to attack Donald Trump, but tenaciously clinging to his past rather than his vision for the future. She focused on Trump personally, rather than politically. Ultimately, she did not live up to the fair and balanced slogan at Fox News and News Corporation. The petition went on to call for truly fair and balanced coverage of ALL candidates. Thus, it concluded, Megyn Kelly should be barred from hosting or moderating all future Republican Presidential Debates. What do you think of the petition? Do you agree, or are people being too hard on Kelly? 
2	Texas Gov. Just Released This Very Bad News For All Refugees Governor Greg Abbott is standing up to President Obama and his requests to shuffle Syrian refugees into our country. Neither you nor any federal official can guarantee that Syrian refugees will not be part of any terroristic activity, he wrote to Obama, in the wake of the Paris attacks. As such, opening our door to them irresponsibly exposes our fellow Americans to unacceptable peril. After the tragic events took place, Obama made it clear that he intends to move forward as planned with bringing 10,000 refugees into the U.S. over the next year, claiming that slamming the door in their faces would be a betrayal of our values. Texas will not accept any Syrian refugees and I demand that the U.S. act similarly, Abbott continued. Security comes first. What do you think? Do you agree with Abbott? Do you support him in refusing to give in to Obamas ludicrous demands? 
2	Coward Traitor Loretta Lynch Pleads The 5th, Immediately Learns Her Fait For Betraying America The nation was shocked when they discovered that President Barack Obama had sent a plane full of money into Iran at the same time hostages were released from their possession. Now, Loretta Lynch is refusing to comply with this important investigation. Thankfully, Marco Rubio and Republican Representative Mike Pompeo are refusing to let Lynch off the hook. They recently sent her a series of important questions about the controversial decision. Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik responded, but refused to answer the questions. Instead, he informed them that they were barred from publicly disclosing the details of the cash payout. It is frankly unacceptable that your department refuses to answer straightforward questions from the peoples elected representatives in Congress about an important national security issue, they wrote. Your staff failed to address any of our questions, and instead provided a copy of public testimony and a lecture about the sensitivity of information associated with this issue. As the United States chief law enforcement officer, it is outrageous that you would essentially plead the fifth and refuse to response to inquiries, they continued. The actions of your department come at a time when Iran continues to hold Americans hostage and unjustly sentence them to prison. Who knew that simple questions regarding Attorney General Lynchs approval of billions of dollars in payments to Iran could be so controversial that she would refuse to answer them? What do you think? Do you agree with Rubio and Pompeo? 
1	Sources close to print, the method of applying ink to paper in order to convey information to a mass audience, have confirmed that the declining medium passed away early Thursday morning. The influential means of communication was 1,803. Print, which had for nearly two millennia worked tirelessly to spread knowledge around the globe in the form of books, newspapers, magazines, pamphlets, and numerous other textual materials, reportedly succumbed to its long battle with ill health, leaving behind legions of readers who had for years benefited from the dissemination of ideas made possible by the advent of printed materials. Reaction to prints tragic demise was overwhelming, with countless individuals within the publishing sector left reeling at its death. Im in absolute shock right now, said Charles Townsend, CEO of Cond Nast Publications, who reportedly worked closely with the beloved medium throughout his career. I knew that it had been struggling recently, but, still, I thought it had many more happy, healthy years in it. I always hoped it would be around forever, I guess. I loved print. And to think that well never see it againever, in any form whatsoeverits just a lot to take in right now, he added. Print was born in China in the third century, whereupon it quickly gained a reputation as an innovative means of both recording ideas and transmitting them throughout the world. Thanks to the overwhelming popularity of the cheap, mass-produced texts made possible by print, the groundbreaking medium ultimately came to be regarded as perhaps the most influential means of communication in the world. However, though print enjoyed a long, illustrious career for centuries, effortlessly reinventing itself countless times in order to better serve readers continual desire for information, in recent years observers reported that the medium was gradually slowing down its output, with both the quantity and quality of its work suffering as it struggled to keep up in a fast-paced landscape increasingly dominated by younger, more nimble channels such as the internet, email, and social media. Indeed, as prints status diminished, those closest to the once influential system of conveying knowledge recounted the difficulty in being forced to watch the aging medium deteriorate as it struggled to survive. Anyone who had seen print in recent years knew it wasnt long for this world, said media analyst Jeff Jarvis, pointing to the multiple setbacks that hindered print in recent years as it gradually wasted away. I can remember a while back when I opened my Sunday newspaper for the first time in I dont know how many weeks and there it was, looking so thin, so lifeless. After that, I realized it was only a matter of time. It did not go gentle into that good night, though, Jarvis continued. It was tough. Tough as nails to the very end. However, in spite of the tragic nature of its passing, many sources told reporters they were thankful to have had the opportunity to spend time with print while it was still thriving, emphasizing their gratitude for the decades of enrichment and enjoyment made possible by the medium. You have to hand it to print, it really had an incredible run, said Madison, WI resident and avid reader Emily Burnett, 39, noting that though she always knew in her heart print would pass away one day, it still hasnt been easy to bid it farewell. Look at prints list of accomplishments: the Magna Carta, the King James Bible, the oldest surviving manuscript of the I Ching, the Declaration of Independence, the first edition of James Joyces Ulysses, every single issue of The selfnews ever printed. Thats quite a legacy prints leaving behind. And the world will not soon forget it. On second thought, Burnett added, after pausing a moment, the world will probably forget it pretty soon, actually. 
2	You May Now Be Fined For Not Taking In Refugees According to recent reports, Brussels intends to start fining nations for not accepting their quote of refugeesand it could be up to 250,000 pounds for every refugee they refuse. Hungary is one of several nations that has refused to accept its quota of refugees, and the ban will prevent any EU nation from not wanting to open its borders. If Poland, for example, continues to refuse to accept the 6,200 migrants allotted to their country, they could be fined 1.5 billion. Not surprisingly, the Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban is furious with the decision, arguing that the EU should not be allowed to have this kind of authority. The EU is not the Soviet Union, he argued. No one can force anything on us which the Hungarian people do not want. Now, Hungary is preparing a referendum to discuss whether or not to accept the demands of the EU. There is a link between migrants and terrorism, and these people seek vengeance against European countries, Orban commented. Those who are in favor of freedom of movement must support walls and border controls: this is the Hungarian standpoint. I dont believe that migration can solve demographic and economic difficulties, he concluded. What do you think of these new fines? 
3	Anonymous Takes Down ISIS Dark Website Replaces it With Viagra Ad, Message to Calm DownBy Matt Agorist After taking down the site, the group replaced the content with an ad for an online pharmacy and encouraged visitors to donate bitcoin. Enhance your calm. Too many people are into this ISIS-stuff. Please gaze upon this lovely ad so we can upgrade our infrastructure to give you ISIS content you all so desperately crave, read the message according to the Independent. When users clicked the ad, it brought them to an online pharmacy at which drugs like, Prozac and Viagra could be purchased using bitcoin. According to the Independent, Before the site was taken down, it was understood to be one of a number of sites that were sharing and copying Isis propaganda so that it could avoid detection and being shut down. Many such unofficial sites have been created on the dark web, according to security blogger Scot Terban, though a large number of them appear to be unofficial and largely disorganised attempts. While the ad for pharmaceuticals is certainly an odd and novel approach, members of the hacking collective have had a devastating effect on the terrorist groups online presence. Last week, the Free Thought Project reported on Anonymous move to publish 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. Tens of thousands of ISIS affiliated social media accounts have been eviscerated since the guide went public. As the fight against terror becomes a vigilante operation, one thing is certain: Anonymous is here to stay and a force to surely be reckoned with. Matt Agorist writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com I admire Anonymous irony and creativity with this. Hellz yeah, love it! Instead of a Big Pharma ad, why not an ad for Citibank, Bank of America, and JP Morgan Chase? Representing the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Goldman Sachs, Morgans, Warburgs, et al, it would be a subtle way to identify the real perps creating and backing ISIS. A more overt message would be a pic of David Rockefeller superimposed on a map of the New Middle East Project and UN 2030 Agenda to hit home the message to everyone in the middle east WHO and WHY. Keep up the good work guys and gals ISIS is a NEMACE to anyone in the FREE WORLD . /////////// Thanks anonymous, but Im afraid with this ad, you are encouraging the rape of more children by the Islamist creeps. 
1	As the rose-colored sunrise streaks across the Texas plains, he pulls his tailored pants over the top of his size-17 lily-white snakeskin boots, and pours hot water into his 10-gallon hat to brew another cup of coffee. Banks in front of the drills he paid millions of dollars to have reverse-fitted. 'I'd hate to burn my eyes again,' he says, 'but a man's got to have his caffeine.' Known far and wide as 'the biggest oil buffoon in Texas,' T. Ludlow Banks earned his unmatched reputation by doing things his way. He pioneered the practice of cutting in as many middlemen as possible. At a time when others were reducing costs, he put employee comfort first, issuing free cigarettes and Zippo lighters to every person working at his refineries, drilling platforms, and filling stations. And, in his most unorthodox move to date, he imported custom-built Italian machinery to pump more than 8,000 barrels of high-grade oil right back into the ground each day. Banks remains, perhaps, the last true Texas oil buffoon, a breed most thought had died out with the Noodle Deal. But since 1965, he has transformed the Banks family's enormous inheritance into what experts agree is now a small fortune. Some call him the 'epitome of a self-unmade man,' and petrochemical geologists grudgingly agree that without Banks' unique scheme to get sweet crude oil into his 3,500 acres of rich pastureland, there would be no way to draw oil from soil once believed to be suitable only for grazing cattle. 'I sure as hell didn't get where I am today by listening to what common folk call 'common sense,'' Banks says, his voice booming across the deck of the enormous oil tanker he had towed from the Gulf Coast to the center of Texas, the better to force its viscous cargo deep beneath his ranch. 'Or by listening to 'conventional wisdom,' 'intelligence,' 'smart people'none of that. We've been doing that for years, and all we have to show for it are dry wells clear across Texas.' 'But not on my patch!' Banks says, flashing the devil-may-care grin acutely familiar to Banks shareholders the world over. 'By the time I'm done here, this'll be the oiliest land in the whole United States. Bet on it,' he says, gesturing broadly as another bull keels over from apparent petrochemical poisoning. The longhorns here are descended from vast herds driven down from Chicago by Banks' great-grandfather, infamous cattle moron Cody Banks. 'Curious Cody,' was an independent thinker in his own right, and by all accounts, a typical Banks. The earliest recorded member of the family came over as a midshipman on the Mayflower in 1622, again in 1624, twice in 1625, and finally in 1627, when, as he wrote in his diary, he finally realized he was allowed to leave the middle of the ship. Later generations of Bankses showed similar genius. Historians credit the family with thinking up one-card monty, the inverted-pyramid scheme, and the external combustion engine, and they have taken their rightful places as true Titans of Idiocy. 'My niece Barbara just designed a new mono-ary computer language, which takes up half the memory by using only zeroes. We're switching our entire accounting division over to that tomorrow,' Banks says, watching cattle easily push through generously sized holes in his patented elephant-wire fence. 'See, some people look at a new idea, maybe a bad ideahell, maybe a damn foolish ideaand think 'Why?' Others think, 'What the hell?' Well, while the thinkers are all off thinking, a Banks is out there getting it done.' Banks, for his part, says he is well aware that someday, the earth will run out of oil. He just intends for his part of it to run out last. 'Texas was just lousy with oil once,' Banks says. 'Texas is the same, but the oil's gone. Where'd it go? Go ahead, askI guarantee you no one can tell you in terms simple enough for me to understand. All I know is, when we need that oil, there'll be plenty right here to for me to pump out, just as long as I do my job and put it in there in the first place.' 
2	Texas Man Ordered to Take Down American Flag Because it Offends Muslims A Texas man is speaking out after he was told that he was no longer allowed to fly the American flag on his own balcony because it was perceived as a threat to [the] Muslim community. According to Duy Tran, his apartment manager ordered him to take the flag down. Tran did not take the request lightly. It means a lot to me, he told reporters. He is now refusing to take the American symbol down. Im gonna leave my flag there, as an American, until she shows me proof that I dont have the right to leave my flag there, Tran continued. To Tran, the flag represents his many friends who have served and died for America. The flag, to him, is a symbol of his pride for our country. What do you think? Should Tran be allowed to show his American spirit? 
2	BREAKING: ISIS Hijack 12 Airliners, Planning Next 9/11 Attack On America According to recent reports, it was confirmed that terrorists were responsible for the theft of 12 airliners from a Tripoli airport. Since then, the group has released a series of photos on social media, sparking rumors of another 9/11. On August 23, Muslim extremists were successful in burning down a Tripoli airport and stealing 12 airplanes in the process. International officials have become anxious about the timing of the public display, especially given our proximity to September 11. According to officials, governments are on high alert attempting to locate the planes and intercept any messages that may give clues to intentions.

3	A World In Denial: Underestimating Japans Nuclear DisasterRichard Wilcox I see dead people. Walking around like regular people. They dont see each other. They only see what they want to see. They dont know theyre dead. The Sixth Sense (2) Im only human on the inside. The Pretenders (3) Every day, very sad and disturbing news about the Fukushima nuclear disaster reveals itself. People in Fukushima are suffering the brunt of this nightmare. But it is also a fact of life that Tokyo drinking water is irradiated. It is not by much, but as we will see even a little bit of radiation can cause harm. The Japanese government has measured cesium in much of the public water supply in the northeastern and Tokyo regions. From January to March 2012, 0.0071 becquerels per kilogram of cesium 134 and 137 was measured in Tokyo; April to June, 0.0049; and from July to September 0.0053 (4; 5; 6). This indicates that although the amount is small, the problem is not improving. There may be ecological and seasonal reasons, along with levels of ongoing emissions from the Fukushima nuclear power plant (FNPP), as to why the level is not steadily decreasing. It is worth perusing the research results of ACRO, the French radiation monitoring group, which has posted comparative radiation contamination data from Fukushima and other prefectures measured from water, soil, house dust and human urine (7). Not so far from the FNPP, there are still children with contaminated urine, more than a year after the massive discharges into the environment. This is particularly the case in the province of Fukushima, but also in the neighbouring prefectures of Miyagi and Tochigi. These contaminations are low, but persist over time. At Kurihara, Miyagi prefecture, they are all children of farmers who eat farm products. Contamination levels of the urine are similar ranging from 1.68 to 2.5 Bq / liter forcaesium. Of course, there may be other dangerous forms of radiation present such as strontium, plutonium and tritium that were not measured by ACRO. People in the northeastern and Tokyo regions are constantly exposed to low-doses of radiation in the water and air (8). Depending on ecological cycles and seasonal factors, radiation may ebb and flow to different degrees according to location, creating demons in the dust, the temporary or long-term radioactive hotspots found in gutters or low lying muddy areas. Between the Devil And The Deep Blue Sea Take the recent example of Japans supposedly liberal The Asahi Shimbun (News), faithfully prostrating itself as the World Health Organizations brothel worker. Asahi reported on a recent WHO report that severely downplays health dangers from the Fukushima nuclear disaster. The Enenews.com editor asked Fairewinds chief engineer, Arnie Gundersen, Do you trust the WHO? His response: Arnie uses the amusing phrase, GIGO, meaning Garbage In Garbage Out. If you start out with a weak hypothesis or faulty data, you will end up with the wrong resultsuh, duh. The Asahi News parroted the WHOs findings with no scrutiny of its pro-nuclear history and agenda, readily accepting their assumptions while ignoring alternative theories (See: No Safe Dose: 10). On the other hand, sometimes citizen activists go overboard and base their claims not only on no scientific analysis or evidence, but also on almost no anecdotal evidence, other than their own opinion. One well meaning lady who is part of an artists group has made all sorts of generalizations about people probably getting sick from radiation in Tokyo, even though the fallout maps do not support her hypothesis (10). Stating that the moon is made of green cheese does not make it so. While the lions share of the blame falls on the corporate owned media for not properly educating the public, we in the alternative media must also be extra vigilant, go that extra mile and be sure to find the truth. Of course, we do not have the budget of the Rothschilds Muliti-Trillion Dollar Media Empire or Fox/CNN/BBC/PBS/CIA on our side. As Paul Zimmerman writes in his must-read book, A Primer In The Art Of Deception, Zimmerman describes how living organisms adapted to background levels of radiation in the environment, yet the artificially higher levels of ionizing radiation released from atomic bomb tests, depleted uranium munitions and nuclear power plants is intense enough to break chemical bonds apart in the cells of organisms (11; pp. 19 20). Zimmerman makes the point that elite decision makers are either foolishly allowing nuclear technologies to be used while not knowing the dangers, or are intentionally spreading radiation in order to cull the world population. Either way their actions are heinous crimes. Numerous studies indicate that low-dose radiation is a danger to health. One expert states that [t]here is near-universal acceptance that epidemiological data demonstrates an excess risk of delayed cancer incidence above a dose of 0.1 sievert (12). According to a rigorously researched and frightening new report: In addition, Washingtons Blog offers a comprehensive survey of reports about low-dose radiation dangers, ranging from nuclear power plant emissions to so-called depleted-uranium munitions used by the US in Middle Eastern wars (14). We are now seeing these realities take hold with increasing numbers of reports of people with health ailments occurring especially in the Fukushima region. Circling The Drain: 300 Billion Becquerels Per Month Ongoing emissions of radioactivity from the FNPP disaster site does not bode well for ecology or human health. NHK, the Japanese government news station, broadcast that [g]roundwater is flowing into the reactor buildings and becoming tainted with radioactive materials. Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) is trying to collect the water and store [it] in the tanks for decontaminationthey dont deny this polluted water is seeping into the Pacific Ocean (15). Tokyo University oceanographer, Jota Kanda, has calculated that the FNPP itself is leaking around 0.3 terabecquerels per month (16). Additionally, US scientist Ken Buesseler has stated that [t]here has to be a source. And theyre cooling those reactors quite extensively, some of that waters getting back into the ocean, either actively being pumped out after some decontamination or through leaks in the buildings, theyre not able to contain all of the water that they use to cool [the reactors] (17). This is an incredible revelation, between the admissions of two respected oceanographers from both Japan and the US, there is no doubt that radioactive water is leaking into the ocean possibly even being intentionally pumped out despite Tepcos contradictory explanations. Since there is no independent investigation allowed, we have a case of the criminals in charge of a murder investigation, and third parties are kept at bay while the truth leaks out in dribs and drabs. This is not just a legal or academic concern, one nuclear engineer close to the situation worries this leakage could further contaminate the public water supply (18). The consequences of radiation released during the initial disaster at the time of 311, along with ongoing emissions from the FNPP has resulted in a clear pattern of environmental pollution. Fukushima prefecture has not been the only place to face dire consequences. One scientific report found that as far away as 70 kilometers to the south on Japans coastline, [m]ost of radiocesium in the coastal sediments is incorporated into lithogenic fractions, and this incorporation is almost irreversible (19). Also, in Ibaraki prefecture directly to the south of Fukushima, although the water in Lake Kasumigaura itself was not found to be radioactive with cesium the lake which supplies drinking water to nearly a million people in Ibaraki and is just 60 km northeast of Tokyo does contain contaminated mud. This amount of radiation is relatively low compared to Fukushima, where, for example, 515,000 Bq/Kg of cesium was measured from the soil of an irrigation channel in Fukushima city. 2km South East of [the] Fukushima prefectural government office (21). Are radioactive hot particles that are regularly being emitted from the FNPP being carried by the wind 1100 km away? It would appear so. Radioactive tea leaves are being discovered in the farthest reaches of southwestern Japan, with readings of 80 Bq/kg of cesium 134/137 found on leaves in Kagoshima; with 40 Bq/kg in Shizuoka; and 120 Bq/kg in Saitama, which borders Tokyo (22). Shakin All Over In addition to persistent radiation problems, Japan is in danger of additional large earthquakes. The good news is that all but two reactors are now shut down which means if another major quake struck, theoretically it would be a much safer situation than prior to 311. As a recent seismological report warns: Researchers emphasize that it is better to be safe than sorry. The Magnitude 9 quake on 311 was expected to be M8, not M9, so nothing should surprise us. Time is precious and the longer it takes Tepco (Tipkill) to clean up the Nukushima disaster site, the greater are the chances of a large quake disrupting their clean-up operations. It is expected to take several more years to remove the massive amounts of radioactive fuel from damaged fuel pools and another four decades to decommission the site! The nuclear industry and a compliant public have created a fire-breathing monster that cannot be forced back into its cave. Only one year after the accident, it was estimated that 30,000 workers had been exposed to significant radiation at the FNPP (24). Tepco is so desperate for workers they now have plans to require their 100,000 employees to work two to three times a year at the FNPP (25). This policy is being proposed just as it is learned that deteriorating conditions at the site are causing present workers to quit (26). Postmodern Postmortem Denial Syndrome The college aged students I teach in Japan are in denial and do not want to talk about Fukushima. Some have even give pro-nuclear presentations in class! Indeed, many are keenly aware of the nuclear dangers and are critical of nuclear power, but others have fatalistic attitudes. Some students told me their parents who live in Fukushima or near there are worried and angry about the situation, but if you ask the average person in Tokyo about the issue, they would probably just shrug their shoulders. People do not like having bad news pointed out to them or having their noses rubbed in radioactive debris. If they feel, or the mass media helps them to believe, that they are far enough away from the problem, they can convince themselves that it is not worth worrying about. Escapism and distraction is the name of the game. Japanese TV variety shows can only be described as narcissistic, self-absorbed, childish, silly and often substance-less nonsense. This is great for creating a dumbed-down and subservient society but not good for long term sustainability. A thriving democracy depends upon a well informed public. The situation is similar in many countries. What is the psychological dimension for understanding how a society can become so complacent while life-threatening dangers stare us in the face? Like a beautiful but beguiling snake that has been trampled upon, the venom released from the bite of its fangs can be deadly to the victim. An apt illustration of our cognitive dissonance comes from journalist David McNeil, who endured the 311 nuclear crisis in Tokyo and notes with irony, [t]hroughout the worst week of the crisis, a diligent clerk at my local video store phoned daily to remind me that I had failed to return a DVD (27). Even though the country had been nearly brought to its knees, it was business as usual. Political analyst, Dean Hendersen, notes an historical aspect of this behavior: The cultural underpinnings that led to the nuclear disaster are explained by Professor Shaun ODwyer, who studies modern Confucianism. Japans nuclear power policy since the 1960s must represent the high point of this residual Confucian politics. Bureaucrats, government, the captains of industry and scientists joined hands in a nuclear village to develop an energy policy that would loosen Japans dependence upon a volatile fossil fuels market, and deliver high quality power to growing export industries. Under the governments paternalistic guidance, the Japanese public and mass media were rallied to believe in a vision of prosperity partly driven by nuclear power, and to trust in the prudence of bureaucrats and the expertise of scientists to manage this energy source safely (29). From a wider perspective, a cosmologist notes that the international scientific community has failed us and become the promoter of Dysfunctional Science. Nuclear energy, which provides only 2.5 percent of global primary energy needs, is the most dangerous experiment humanity has ever undertaken. The time to end the insanity is now (31). Between reducing consumption, rearranging society in a less consumer intensive form, and implementing an array of alternative energy schemes, our problems could be solved. What You Can Do To Protect Your Health From Radiation There are a number of measures people can take to minimize radiation dangers. These include using: sulfur; magnesium; fiber in diet; French clay; detoxifying herbs (there is a long list); iodine; and medicinal seaweeds (32; 33). Internet searches at a variety of health oriented websites reveal that eating a healthy diet with fibrous fruits and vegetables is about the best way to expel radiation from the body. It goes without saying that whatever you are consuming should be radiation-free. There are also many herbs and spices that can help. Internet searches based on scrupulous and careful consideration, cross checking data and results and references, can give an understanding of how you can protect against radiation and other harmful toxins that build up in the body. I eat a diet high in delicious fruits and vegetables, and also drink a variety of herbal teas. Take a magnesium salt bath and relax after a stressful day.

1	In spite of recording artist Sheryl Crow's strong protestations, including the wearing of a 'No War' guitar strap, the U.S. went to war with Iraq last week. 'Making the decision to go to war is never easy, but it's that much harder when you know Sheryl Crow disapproves,' White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said at a press conference Monday. 'It is this administration's sincerest hope that it can one day regain the support and trust of the woman behind such hits as 'All I Wanna Do' and 'Soak Up The Sun.'' Fleischer issued similar apologies to Martin Sheen, Janeane Garofalo, and Nelly. 
2	Employee Sues Paint Company After He Deems The Name Of The Paint To Be Racist According to recent reports, Clinton Tucker, a man in New Jersey, is suing Benjamin Moore, his former employer on the grounds that some of the brown paint tones the company has been selling are discriminatory. Tucker claims that he was fired after he continued to complain about Tucker Chocolate and Clinton Brown to the management team. Despite repeated complaints and protestations to BM management about these appallingly racial color names, no action was ever taken by Benjamin Moore to change the names of these colors, the lawsuit reads. According to Tucker, he was one of the people to help bring the Williamsburg Collection to market, and that collection contained one of the colors in question. The colors remain on Benjamin Moores website. Capturing the 1798 color requested by St. George Tucker for his home facing Courthouse Green, this deep brown is classic and understated, the site reads, clearly demonstrating the real origin of the name dates back to Colonial Williamsburg. Being a black man named Clinton Tucker, the plaintiff found this to be racially offensive, the suit reads, despite this fact. In addition, BM has a color called Clinton Brown. A BM employee pointed this out to the plaintiff and thought it was funny. Now, Tucker also claims that he believes he was denied opportunities to advance within the company because of his race, and is seeking damages for discrimination and a hostile work environment. What do you think? Is Tucker taking coincidences and using them in an attempt to get damages from the company?

3	U.S. Government Wages War on LeaksStephen Lendman, Contributor Journalists and others talk to officials daily. Background briefings are commonplace. Vital information is discussed. Most of it is unclassified. On May 15, HR 5743: Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 was introduced and referred to committee. On May 31, it passed. On July 30, S. 3454: Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 was introduced and reported to committee. Enactment hasnt occurred. More on it below. A Senate amendment to S. 3454 permits only the director, deputy director, or public affairs representative of an intelligence agency to provide background or off-the-record information regarding intelligence activities. Lower level personnel perhaps with contrary views are prohibited from stating them. At issue is government transparency, press freedom, and the publics right to know. Independent investigative journalism will be compromised. So will press and other First Amendment freedoms. At issue are provisions listed below. The Electronic Freedom Foundation (EFF) calls the measure dangerous and sloppily written. It goes way beyond stopping classified information leaks. Passage will enact a new layer of secrecy and coverup. The bills problems are extensive and severe. A New York Times editorial called it A Pernicious Drive Toward Secrecy, saying: (M)misguided legislation.would severely chill news coverage of national security issues. Drafted in secret without public hearings, enactment will undermine democracy. Debate on vital issues will be compromised. Issues like government spying, torture, and war wont be discussed. Whistleblowers will be targeted more than now. Discussing truths too important to conceal will be compromised. Mostly unclassified information is affected. The measure draws no distinction between information that is properly classified and the vast pile of information that poses no national risk but has been deemed secret thanks only to a dysfunctional system of over-classification of government documents. Enactment compromises constitutional rights. It passed the Senate Intelligence Committee with one dissenting vote. Former officials, civil liberties groups, and outspoken journalists denounce it. Dont count on Obama to stop it. He routinely supports police state measures. Hes targeted whistleblowers more aggressively than all his predecessors combined. House and Senate approval assures enactment. Classification expert Steven Aftergood documented worrisome bill provisions. Whats unauthorized disclosure, he asked? Clarity about what constitutes the media is absent. Professional journalists are fourth estate members. What about independent writers, bloggers, and social network contributors? Classified information isnt defined. Merely being classified (doesnt) warrant exemption from disclosure under FOIA. A court ordered the US trade representative to release a classified document not properly classified. So far the government refused. The concept of unauthorized disclosure is ill-defined. Interpretations differ. Most bill provisions apply to elements of the intelligence community. Section 501 affects the executive branch. It requires notification of authorized information releases. FOIA provisions exempt classified information provided its properly classified. EFF calls the Senate measure troubling, given that the governments secrecy system has ballooned to absurd proportions. Secrecy was always excessive. However, 2011 was particularly egregious. Washington classified 77 million documents, 40% more than the previous year. Government employees with security clearances number 4.2 million. Air Force families are prohibited from accessing WikiLeaks. The Air Force also bars service members in war theaters from reading The New York Times. Guantanamo detainee lawyers are prohibited from reading WikiLeaks files pertaining to their clients. Some were publicly released. Numerous other examples show troubling secrecy level annual increases. Virtually everything in government related to national security and foreign policy is now classified. Doing so is often out of line and improper. Its done to hide embarrassing truths, government waste, corruption, other criminality, and serious constitutional violations. Former US classification czar, J. William Leonard, calls the system dysfunctional. It clearly lacks the ability to differentiate between trivial information and that which can truly damage our nations well-being. Bureaucratic overkill stamps virtually everything secret. Leonard was Bushs secrecy chief. Hes now a vocal critic. The new Senate measure is another attempt to subvert democracy and conceal wrongdoing through secrecy. Whistleblowers are especially at risk. The Times article said FBI investigations into leaks are casting a distinct chill over press coverage of national security issues as agencies decline routine interview requests and refuse to provide background briefings. If enacted, new anti-leaks legislation may permanently alter the way journalists interact with government officials. Doing so deals democracy another blow. EFF calls the most disturbing issue the fact that Congress proposed the measure. According to Steven Aftergood: (T)there is something incongruous, if not outrageous, about the whole effort by Congress to induce stricter secrecy in the executive branch, which already has every institutional incentive to restrict public disclosure of intelligence information. Investigations followed previous leaks. Substantive Congressional oversight followed. In contrast, post-9/11, Congress and officials in two administrations targeted whistleblowers with a vengeance. For example, New Yorker contributor Steve Coll addressed Newsweek reporter Daniel Klaidmans book on Obamas drone strike policy. He discusses the first instance in American history of a sitting President speaking of his intent to kill a particular US citizen without that citizen having been charged formally with a crime or convicted at trial. When the New York Times discussed cyberattacks on Iran (based on leaks), The Times said doing so was unprecedented. It compared doing so to the first use of atomic weapons against Japan. These and other issues demand open unobstructed debate and scrutiny. Criminalizing it is unconscionable. Everyone has a right to know. Independent journalists especially serve a vital service. They go where mainstream ones wont dare. They do it because its the right thing to do. Anything less falls short. Free and open societies depend on them. Secrecy, lack of oversight, and unaccountability prevent the public from knowing whats most important. A firestorm of criticism got Senate Intelligence Committee Chairperson Dianne Feinstein to consider bill revisions. A committee aide said she and other senators were reviewing comments. Theyll consider changes as the bill moves forward. Modifications are likely before the full Senate votes. Even Bush was less restrictive than Obama. Hes more secretive and draconian than any previous president. He want total control over whats secret and whats not. Vital information secrecy, coverup, and obstruction have no place in a democracy that values government transparency and prides itself on press freedom and justice under the law. Obama and those around him are going all out to destroy them. Failure to stop them assures tyranny. Its already perilously close to full-blown. Inattention and indifference means accepting the worst of all possible worlds. No one should tolerate them. Resistance, not acquiescence, is essential.

2	Trump Issues Massive Threat To Saudi Royal Family They Cant Ignore Donald Trump has been no stranger to controversy during his campaign. Now, hes going after the Saudi royal family. As usual, he is not holding back. In an interview with The New York Times, Trump claimed that he would boycott Saudi Arabias oil if the Islamic nation did not begin participating in the fight with ISIS and other adversaries. If Saudi Arabia was without the cloak of American protection, I dont think it would be around, Trump told the newspaper. He also went on to argue that the United States has been defending the world without returned protection from many of the governments that it shields, including Saudi Arabia. We defend everybody, Trump claimed. When in doubt, come to the United States. Well defend you. In some cases, free of charge. We have been disrespected, mocked and ripped off for many, many years by people that were smarter, shrewder, tougher, he concluded. Trump went on to explain that his foreign policy is not isolationist, but it does put America first. Trump also believes that trade could be a strong bargaining chip for the Chinese, too. We have tremendous economic power over China, Trump said. And thats the power of trade. If Trump were to move forward with is vision, it would mark a significant shift in Americas current relationship with the Saudis, who have long been considered an ally of the United States. What do you think of Trumps comments?

3	Perpetual Victim Mentality is Doomed to FailJ.P. Hicks If so, you may be suffering from a classic case of victim mentality. When I meet people like this, I always ask what they want to have happen in their life. And, inevitably, they always give me a blank stare. It seems theyve been too busy complaining to formulate goals for themselves. Whats more, people who suffer from this victim disorder dont realize that by constantly focusing on their complaints will only attract those gripes into their lives. Success is actually a pretty simple formula: You are what you think you are. So if youre always inferring that youre a victim, you will always be a victim. All it takes to be successful is to want to be and believe you are. I know for many reading this youll say it isnt that simple. But it really is. The hard part is putting aside the noise in your head that tells you youre not good enough or that people are out to get you. Yet, once you make the decision to stop being a victim and to take control of your life that noise will disappear. They may examine which of their own actions caused that person to lash out at them, but they treat it as a lesson and simply plow forward on their path. Its also crucial to understand that you have no control over what others may or may not do to you. Youre only in control of what you do. But thats where your true power is. Only you can control how your life turns out from this point forward. Sure, others may try to put up roadblocks or sabotage you in some way. That means they arent using their energy to better themselves and they will ultimately reap the karma of their actions. You, on the other hand, with new-found focus on what you want to happen I your life will ignore attempts by others to harm you. Holding onto a grudge is letting someone live rent-free in your head. Jeremy Cowart. If you want to be successful, you must dismiss all negative thoughts towards others who you believe are out to get you. You must put intense focus on your goals, what youre grateful for, and what makes you happy. The good news is that when you shift your focus to your own path, you wont have as much time to fret over what others are doing. This is where setting goals and keeping your thoughts organized is vital to overcoming a victim mentality. So go out and make your life what you want it to be. J.P.

2	Professor Kicks GunFor some time now, liberals have been perpetuating the fear of guns in this nationas if stripping us of our Second Amendment rights would somehow end all violence. Now, a liberal professor at a small college in Georgia has come under fire after he kicked a student out of his classroom for carrying a holstered gun on his hip. He did not know that the student in question was actually a police officer who was not in uniform. The professor, who works at Darton State College in Albany, Georgia remains unnamed in reports. But he apparently felt so intimated by the firearm that he decided to call campus security and have the officer escorted out. Darton was quick to release a statement apologizing for the incident. Darton State College is appreciative for the service of our law enforcement, and welcome them as students on our campus, Thomas Ormond said in a statement. We have apologized to the officer for our misunderstanding when he attended class on our campus, and we regret this happenedWe have met with the faculty and staff involved to reiterate the Georgia Law and Darton Policy. Were happy this officer is being set straight on the facts, but the incident does highlight a general lack of awareness among the American people. Imagine if a criminal entered that classroom like weve seen in one of the mass school shootings? The officer who was publicly shamed probably would have saved the lives of fellow students. What do you think? Do you support our officers? 
1	According to museumgoers at Los Angeles' Getty Center, an automated audio guide for the 19th-century Impressionism art gallery obviously despises French painter Edgar Degas. 'The narrator wouldn't stop gushing about Monet's work with water or Pissarro's 'Landscape In The Vicinity Of Louveciennes,' but when we got to Degas, she called him a 'master of the female form, if you like staring at a bunch of ballerinas and women sitting in bathtubs,'' said Natalie LaTouche, 32. 'And even though she did say that Degas was brilliant at depicting the subtlety of human bodies in motion, she said it really sarcastically.' Others added that when they got to Degas' self-portrait, the audio guide made no mention of the visible brushstrokes or the use of dark and light, instead saying only, 'Interesting fact, he really was that ugly.' 
1	Claiming that a relaxed atmosphere and a chance to create his own schedule would greatly benefit his productivity, Red Sox left-fielder Manny Ramirez has asked team officials if he can play the remainder of the season from the comfort of his own home. 'My client just can't seem to focus in his current place of work,' said Ramirez's agent Greg Genske, noting that Fenway Park's loud, boisterous atmosphere and high-stress, pressure-packed environment are 'not ideal working conditions for anyone.' 'Manny seeks a work space where he doesn't have to constantly travel, can wear whatever he wants, and can work at his own pace. I assure you that he will be able to put up the same statistics he normally does while physically on a baseball diamond. Just give him until November or December.' The Red Sox have tentatively agreed to allow Ramirez to telecommute, claiming that although their offense may suffer without him at the ballpark, their defense in a vacant left field may substantially improve. 
2	Smoking Gun Is Found To Put Hillary Away For Over A Decade Hillary Clinton has been dealing with investigations over confidentiality breaches and the Benghazi scandal. On Tuesday, an investigator for the White House finally came across what analysts are calling the smoking gun. What was found is considered to be more confidential than Top Secret, the governments most secretive and classified operations known as Special Access Programs. These are the crown jewels of the American intelligence community, Charles Faddis, former CIA agent said. If this information is compromised, were going to suffer very serious national security damage. People are going to die, quite frankly. Clearly, this is a big deal. If Hillary is responsible, as it seems she is, she will be going away for a very long time. Since this information came from the inspector general of the intelligence community, it is not up for much debate over the authenticity of the claims. Now it is up to the FBI to interview Hillary and close the case. Hopefully it will end with her behind bars. Do you think Hillary deserves prison for the terror she has caused America? 
3	Syrias Muslim Brotherhood Propped Up by US Since 2007 Under BushTony Cartalucci, Contributor The report gives a disturbing foreshadowing of US support that would eventually see the Muslim Brotherhood rise as both a political and terroristic power across the Arab World, after decades of hard-fought attempts to crush the sectarian extremist organization everywhere from Tunisia to Syria, from Egypt to Libya, to Jordan, and beyond. In fact, the 2007 Wall Street Journal article specifically noted that the US partnership could destabilize governments in Jordan and Egypt, two US allies where the Brotherhood is a growing opposition force. Egypt is now run by a sectarian-extremist Muslim Brotherhood dictatorship, after the US incited unrest there in 2011, while Jordan is seeing increasing unrest led by the Jordanian arm of the Brotherhood. What is also disturbing about the 2007 report, is that it shows how allegedly Bush-era policies transcended the 2000-2008 administration and continued in earnest under President Obama. The report, written by Jay Solomon, echoes similar foreshadowing of the coming violent sectarian bloodbath now engulfing Syria, found in Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hershs New Yorker piece titled, The Redireciton: Is the Administrations new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism? On a humid afternoon in late May, about 100 supporters of Syrias largest exile opposition group, the National Salvation Front, gathered outside Damascuss embassy here to protest Syrian President Bashar Assads rule. The participants shouted anti-Assad slogans and raised banners proclaiming: Change the Regime Now. Later in the article, it would be revealed that the National Salvation Front (NSF) was in contact with the US State Department and that a Washington-based consulting firm in fact assisted the NSF in organizing the rally: In the weeks before the presidential election, the State Departments Middle East Partnership Initiative, which promotes regional democracy, and NSF members met to talk about publicizing Syrias lack of democracy and low voter turnout, participants say. A Washington-based consulting firm, CO Resources Inc., assisted the NSF in its planning for the May 26 anti-Assad rally at the Syrian embassy, providing media and political contacts. State Department officials stress they provided no financial or technical support to the protestors. Just like the Arab Spring, what was in fact foreign-backed sedition, was peddled publicly by professional PR firms with the help of a bought-off, complicit corporate media, as a pro-democracy uprising. And while the Wall Street Journal then, just as the US State Department and the Western media houses are now portraying the Syrian opposition as representing a wide range of interests across Syrian society, it was admitted then, just as it is plainly obvious now, that the sectarian extremist Muslim Brotherhood was in fact at the very center of the uprising: One of the NSFs most influential members is the Syrian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood the decades-old political movement active across the Middle East whose leaders have inspired the terrorist groups Hamas and al Qaeda. Its Syrian offshoot says it has renounced armed struggle in favor of democratic reform. The article would describe a fractured, disorganized opposition, must like the 2011 National Syrian Council (NSC) and its more recent US-Qatari contrived reincarnation, the National Coalition, whose only common denominator and prevailing ideology was and still is the sectarian extremism practiced by the Muslim Brotherhood. Similarly, the current National Coalition is headed by Moaz al-Khatib who, on Qatari state-owned Al Jazeera, openly admitted his aspirations of establishing an Islamic State in place of Syrias current secular society. Al-Khatib also vigorously protested the US listing of Al Qaeda terrorist franchisee, Al Nusra, who is openly fighting as part of Al-Khatibs National Coalition. These are the freedom fighters then and now, that the US has been supporting, funding, and in fact arming. The most recent accusation of the US arming known-terrorists came from retired US Army General and former Special Forces Commander, William G. Boykin, who claimed the US is not only arming terrorists in Syria, but they are doing so by running guns through the terror emirate of Benghazi, Libya. From the pan-Arab logistical networks NATO is using to flood Syria with weapons and terrorists, to the current leadership of the so-called opposition, and with documented evidence from 2007 of a US conspiracy to prop up the Muslim Brotherhood and other known, violent extremist groups in Syria to overthrow the government, it is clear that every aspect of the US, UKs, NATOs, and even the UNs narrative regarding the conflict in Syria is an intentional fabrication. Furthermore, it indicates a much wider deception one involving the misconception that presidential elections bring in both new leadership, and new policies. The wars engineered under Bush, are being carried out under Obama, by the same policy makers from the very same corporate-funded think-tanks that handed Bush his agenda years ago.

3	Americas Self-Inflicted Defense WoesBy Ulson Gunnar The Atlantic Council, for instance, includes among its corporate members, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Thales, Boeing and Northrop Grumman, just to name a few. So when Atlantic Council authors wrote about the subject of close air support (CAS) aircraft, it should come as no surprise that the development or procurement of a new system was the option of choice, this despite the fact that a brand new aircraft, the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, was already supposed to fill this role. The Atlantic Councils article, Starting with the Answer in Procurement: The USAFs plans for new close support aircraft show an unusual willingness to move out quickly, would claim: after years of hearing that the F-35A would be the sort-of replacement for the A-10C, its worth reviewing why it never could be. Its not for the gun or the armor. Its the increased threat: Russian motorized rifle brigades now run with lots of their own 30 mm guns, looking up. Missiles are now a bigger problem too. As Colonel Mike Pietrucha USAF wrote for War On The Rocks last month, the heat from that huge engine is itself a huge target for heat-seekers. Lockheed has worked hard to suppress the signature, but physics dictate theres only so much that can be done. Overall, the hundred-million-dollar jet is just too expensive to hazard to for busting tanks that way. The projected cost of the F-35 program in total is estimated to be well over 1 trillion USD. The cost for each aircraft averages 100 million USD. That the Atlantic Councils authors deem it too expensive to use for one of the roles it was allegedly proposed to fill, should make US and allied taxpayers wonder just what they have mortgaged their futures for. Currently for CAS, the US Air Force depends on the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, as well as multirole aircraft like the Lockheed Martin F-16. To replace the A-10, the US plans to use F-16s more widely, that is, until a new CAS system is developed. In the short-term the USAF has plans to replace some A-10s with Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcons, but in the medium- to longer-terms there are plans to procure or develop either a platform that that can operate either in a permissive environment only, or one that can operate in both a permissive and contested environment. The options are being considered under the auspices of the recently announced A-X project. So in addition to the 1 trillion USD F-35 program, there will be an additional program to develop the next generation of CAS aircraft for the US Air Force. One wonders if the F-35s other slated roles will also require parallel defense programs to fill as the fundamental flaws of the entire program begin to unfold. A trillion dollars spent on a useless aircraft that requires multiple parallel defense programs to compensate for, represents different problems to different people depending on their perspective. To some, it appears to be supreme incompetence and poor planning. To others, a tragic waste of national resources. But to others still, it appears to be the only logical conclusion a nation and its tax dollars can arrive at, when it is driven by special interests in pursuit of power and profits, rather than any particular purpose. The 1 trillion USD going into the F-35 program is not disappearing into a black hole. Lockheed Martin is receiving that money. With it, it will purchase more lobbying power in Washington, more clout on Wall Street, more authors to pen favorable policy proposals within the halls of think tanks like the Atlantic Council and more journalists across the international press to promote these proposals to the general public. It will also use this wealth to help promote the wars that will in turn, drive demand for yet more costly defense programs it will undoubtedly share a stake in developing and profiting from. While the F-35, the new CAS program being developed to augment it, and virtually every other defense program the US and its allies are moving forward with, are predicated on maintaining national defense, it appears quite clear that the self-preservation of the corporations involved takes primacy over the former. The US will not be safer with the F-35 in the air. In conflicts like the 2008 Georgian invasion of South Ossetia, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine or the war raging in Syria, Russia has proven that a fraction of the resources spent on defense, if spent properly, can meet or exceed the performance of US-NATO military capabilities. On what is a shoestring budget by comparison, Russias combination of pragmatic military spending and proper strategic planning and implementation has become a case study of how a Middle East intervention should be done. The Syria Russia is helping preserve through its military intervention is one with a stable, secular government that has and will continue to be a valuable ally against armed militants throughout the region. Compare this in contrast to the trillions of dollars spent on US interventions throughout the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia where the apparent, or at least evident purpose was to divide and destroy nations, leaving them tinderboxes of violence and conflict as well as breeding grounds for extremism, seemingly, purposefully, inviting conflict after unending conflict. The US is spending more to make the world a more dangerous place, with unnecessary weapons systems even analysts working for think tanks funded by their manufacturers admit are too expensive and impractical to use on the battlefield for the roles they were intended to fulfill. It is not that the US and its industry are incapable in technical terms of creating a functional and premier national defense, it is that the US and its industry are incapable of adhering to a rational policy that would require such a national defense. Defense dysfunction amid a world intentionally destabilized, it turns out, is much better for business, and the F-35 with its emerging parallel defense programs it now requires, is symptomatic of this.

The Military Industrial Complex is a ravenous beastand when you ask them how much do they want, they always answer more, more, more. CCR circa 1969.

But unfortunately, America does not have any good leaders, the people do not have any moral representatives, and in fact, almost all of these career politicians, un-elected bureaucrats and lobbyists are criminal traitors. 
2	BREAKING: Electoral College Announces Their Plan To Revolt Against Trump Ever since Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in the presidential election, liberals have been doing everything in their power to stop him from making it to the White House. In the past few weeks, there has been a growing pressure on electors to revolt against tradition and throw out their votes for Trump on Monday. According to reports from the Associated Press, who interviews 330 electors out of the 538 in the Electoral College, there is very little appetite to revolt. Some of the Republican electors admitted that they do not like Trump, but say they feel bounds by either history, duty, party loyalty or the law to follow their states wishes. Meanwhile, the Democratic electors expressed aggravation with the electoral processbut had little hope electors would actually turn their backs on him. Let me give you the total as of right now: 48,324 emails about my role as an elector, Brian Westrate, a small-business owner and GOP district chairman in Wisconsin commented. I have a Twitter debate with a former porn star from California asked me to change by vote. Its been fascinating. Hell will freeze and we will be skating on the lava before I change, Nashville attorney Tom Lawless said of the efforts. He won the state and Ive pledged and gave my word that thats what I would do. And I wont break it. Overall, there are a handful of electors who are caving into liberal pressurebut it appears the majority of them are standing strong and honoring their commitment to the American people. What do you think? Does Trump deserve to be our president? 
3	Will healthy food crops go extinct?Jon Rappoport This is not a new situation. It has been present since the introduction of commercial GMO crops in 1996. The survey was conducted by two groups: Food and Water Watch, and Organic Farmers Agency for Relationship Marketing (on Facebook). Questionnaires were sent out to 1500 organic grain farmers. From the 268 responses, a key factor emerged: One out of three responding farmers have dealt with GMO contamination on their farms. Of those contaminated farmers, over half have been rejected by their [organic] buyers for that reason. They [the farmers] reported a median cost of a [rejected] semi-load (approximately 1,000 bushels) of $4,500. Contamination is accomplished by insects, birds, and wind. Its a fact of life. It cant be avoided, despite establishing buffer zones between farms. In the long run, every healthy food crop is threatened. How can pure farming survive intact, when particles containing GMOs are in the wind? Were looking at something roughly analogous to lab safety, where contamination is famous. Stricter and stricter measures are put in place to avoid it, but even in the most secure facilities, it occurs. For the past decade, in the US, major activism has been directed toward the labeling of food containing GMOs. It has been an uphill battle. Meanwhile, the gene drift continues. Facing up to this is difficult, to say the least, for those activists who have been working themselves to the bone to achieve labeling of GMO crops. They make an assumption of what I call temporary coexistence. The argument goes this way: Well use the battle to label GMOs as step one, which involves educating the public and acquiring a few victories in states. Soon, hundreds of thousands or millions more Americans, who are able to see, finally, what kind of food theyre buying, will reject GMOs. Food growers and sellers will be forced to switch over to non-GMO. This action will starve Monsanto and other food giants, and theyll have to concede defeat Thats the best-case scenario. Ignoring several questionable assumptions in that argument, the long haul to achieve a few labeling victories will compete with gene drift, which goes on no matter who wins or loses. You can be sure Monsanto is counting on this. Monsanto sees a fait accompli. Doesnt matter what you people want, were all GMO now, all food crops contain GMOs, the gene drift wins. Activism took an inadvisable turn in the road some years ago. It opted for labeling, instead of outright bans on growing GMO crops. selfnews leaders decided coexistence with Monsanto was unavoidableat least for the time being. The result of that decision was available, for all to see, in the nature of the television ads taken out in California and Washington state, during the campaigns to pass labeling initiatives. The ads were weak, bland, and without anything resembling a hard edge. Attacking Monsanto head-on was out of the question. Ive said this before, and Ill say it againbeing on the side of the angels in a political battle doesnt guarantee victory. Thats a brand of New Age thinking that will take you into extinction. To achieve bans on growing GMO crops depends on showing people the true threat GMOs and Monsanto pose to: human health, the survival of non-corporate farmers, and the future of agriculture (and therefore life) itself. In other words, you have to attack, no holds barred. If the public feels no threat in their guts, they will walk away from the whole situation. And again, most importantly, the gene drift isnt waiting for a political vote on a ballot measure. The US still leads the world in GM plantings, with 170 million acres in 2012, which produce 95% of the nations sugar beets, 94% of the soybeans, 90% of the cotton and 88% of the feed corn. (USA Today, 2/28/12) Think of that acreage as a weapon. It launches genes to organic farms, to non-GMO farms. Monsanto is fully aware of this. Were past the point of arguing labeling vs. outright bans on growing GMOs. Those men who have been leading and bankrolling the battle to label GMOs are businessmen. They see market forces, PR, consumer power, buying trends. They try to apply that knowledge and mindset to a political struggle. It doesnt work. And it certainly doesnt factor in the rates and results of Monsanto genes drifting on the wind all across America, contaminating food on the land. The counter-plan is simple and obvious: For starters, at a fraction of the cost of bankrolling GMO labeling initiatives, engage fearless, talented, ingenious artists and filmmakers who absolutely take no prisoners. Within several months, spread their new ads all over the Net. All over the planet. These attack ads feature small farmers who have been put out of business by Monsanto and driven up against the wall, families of farmers who committed suicide, outraged mothers with their babies who are destined to grow up in a toxic Monsanto world, scientists who are ready to torpedo Monsanto with the facts about GMOs, terminally corrupt Congressmen who are on Monsantos pad Im talking about ads that are in your face, in your mind, in your soul. Ads that mock, that destroy, that rip open the truth and expose a nest of scrambling maggots. Mercilessly go for the throat. Day by day, hour by hour. Attack the enemy. Law suits mounted by Monsanto? Beautiful. Counter-sue. Make a public non-stop spectacle of those law suits. I know several stone-cold lawyers who would love to bring Monsanto executives and scientists to a deposition table, uncovering decades of corruption and driving the enemy to a Hell beyond his wildest dreams. After six months, the idea of banning GMO crops will start to look very good, like a very, very sane action. Do we want to win? Or be nice, and lose? In this kind of battle, being nice is nothing more and nothing less than living in a trance. Its a form of mind control. Stop thinking of the war as fanning a small spark through polite education, and trying to make it spread. Stop thinking of the public as a mass of politically correct cowards who have to be coddled and led through hoops, one at a time. Stop thinking of the war against Monsanto and its allies as a consumer joust in the free market. Anyone out there with a few deep pockets and an appetite for causing a very good kind of trouble should take note.

1	In an effort to conserve water amid the states severe drought, SeaWorld officials announced Tuesday that the southern California marine park had drained all of its animal tanks halfway. When facing a crisis this dire, everyone has a responsibility to make difficult sacrifices, which is why we at SeaWorld have decided to reduce the amount of water in all our whale, seal, and dolphin habitats by 50 percent, said SeaWorld San Diego spokesperson Patricia Leeds, adding that the marine animals only needed a couple of inches of water to survive and that evaporation could be prevented by simply covering many of the creatures with tarps. Our trainers are going to hook the orcas up to a winch and flip them over about once an hour to help their entire bodies stay moist. Theres still enough water in their enclosures, especially if the animals stay in one place like theyve been doing. Leeds added that implementing the new measures was not a problem for the company, as SeaWorlds management had already been planning on making such a change to its animal habitats anyway. 
2	The View Is A Sinking Ship Cancellation Is On The Horizon Because Of THIS Recently, the ABC daytime talk show The View has come under fire by the media, after making several insensitive comments towards women. Now, an insider has just come forward with claims that the program, which is now in its 18th season, could be off of the air next year. You cant keep hiring and firing, trying to save a sinking ship, the insider told FOX411. There is no leadership on the show. Its the news division that pays for The View, so the debate is now whether the show is iconic enough to pour money into revamping, or do away with all together. At this stage, the feeling is that its pretty much done. They may test a remodeled version for one more reason, but that would require work and top brass arent sure that it is worth it. Another source claims that Good Morning America could expand to take its place. Still, a representative from ABC denies that The View is on the chopping block, claiming that it still dominates daytime. The show has come a long way and is holding steady in viewership, the rep claims. The pace and energy has picked up, and things are really starting to gel. But with the controversy over recent comments and reported feuds between co-hosts, many speculate the show is hanging on by a thread. To which we saygood riddance! We certainly wont be missing anything. 
2	Muslims On Food Stamps Demand Local Grocers Do THIS According to recent reports, an Islamic advocacy group has been demanding a low-price halal food shelf available to cater to those on food stamps. The Isuroon Project claims that there is a desperate need for culturally-specific halal food in the program in the Minnesota area, and are demanding a specific shelf. The self serving demand would cost taxpayers an additional $150,000. Isuroon has reached out for Hennepin Countys support for the Ethnic Food Shelf, and has cooperated fully with the Hennepin County commissioners office and provided the county with their required qualifications, the group reported in a statement. The commissioners office has ignored Isuroons requests for review and the community needs to respond to let the public know what has transpired. What do you think of the groups demands? Should people getting benefits be happy with what they have? Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
3	Signed into Law: Florida Bill Expands Limits on Drone SurveillanceBy Michael Maharrey In 2013, Florida became one of the first states in the country to pass legislation limiting the use of drones by law enforcement. That law only allows law enforcement agencies to use drones to collect evidence or information if they have a warrant, with just a few exceptions. Today, the Florida built on that foundation and established tougher controls over law enforcement use of drones when Gov. Scott inked his name on Senate Bill 766 (SB766). Sen. Dorothy Hukill (R-Port Orange) introduced the legislation in February. The new law expands the current limits on drones by banning any person, state agency, or political subdivision from using unmanned aircraft equipped with imaging devices to record an image of privately owned or occupied real property or of the owner, tenant, or occupant of such property with the intent to conduct surveillance on the individual or property captured in the image in violation of such persons reasonable expectation of privacy without his or her written consent. The Florida House unanimously passed the bill 117-0. The Senate approved the measure 37-2. OffNow founder and deputy director Michael Boldin said passage of SB766 provides a blueprint for building on past victories. One step leads to another. Florida was one of the first to address drone surveillance in a meaningful way. That actually paved the way in other states, he said. It also laid a foundation to build on. Today, Florida has some of the strongest limits on drones in the country. Now other that have existing laws on drones can look at what Florida did and push the ball forward there expanding privacy protections a step at a time. The new limits on drone use apply to state and local law enforcement, as well as other state or local agencies and private individuals with a few exceptions. Law enforcement can use a drone with an imaging device under the same conditions as it can currently conduct general surveillance. This includes with a warrant, to counter a high risk of terrorism, or if there exists an imminent danger to life or property. The legislation also includes an expansive definition of image. SB766 provides both civil and punitive remedies against anyone guilty of violating these sections. Impact on the federal surveillance state SB766 focus exclusively on state and local drone use and do not apply directly federal agencies, the legislation would throw a high hurdle in front of some federal programs. Much of the funding for drones at the state and local level comes from the federal government, in and of itself a constitutional violation. In return, federal agencies tap into the information gathered by state and local law enforcement through fusion centers and a federal program known as the information sharing environment. The federal government encourages and funds a network of drones at the state and local level across the U.S., thereby gaining access to a massive data pool on Americans without having to expend the resources to collect the information itself. By placing restrictions on drone use, state and local governments limit the data available that the feds can access. With the FBI rolling out facial a nationwide recognition program last fall, and the federal government building biometric databases, the fact that the feds can potentially access stored photographs represents a potential dystopian nightmare. By limiting the images obtained and stored by drones at the state and local level, it limits the information available to share with the federal programs. SB766 makes up part of a bigger strategy to put an end to government drone surveillance. Each bill introduced, passed, and signed into law creates and builds momentum for other states to do the same. The OffNow Project is an organization committed to stopping unconstitutional NSA spying and reining in the surveillance-state through state and local activism. 
2	Good Ole Patriot Confronts Welfare Leech In Front Of Store And Then THIS Happens [VIDEO] American taxpayers are getting sick and tired of welfare abusers, who sit back and expect the world to be handed to them. Dont get us wrong, there are some people who actually need assistance, but it seems like every day we hear a new story about someone using the system for their own personal gain. Recently, one man was grocery shopping when he decided he had enough of staying silent. He decided to confront a group of welfare leeches who he watched buy food with an EBT card and then lottery tickets with cash. I noticed you bought your groceries with a welfare card, but then I noticed you used cash to buy lottery tickets, the man yells from his car. So what? replies one of the mooches, an able-bodied young man wearing a hoodie. The woman with the group of mooches (wearing pajama pants) all of a sudden tells the man to mind his own business. Thats when he really loses it. It is my business; I pay taxes! he yells back. What happens next is epic. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with this man?

1	Countless Goodell clones are already milling around the Dallas area, providing a stark visual reminder of the commissioner's presence in an attempt to keep partying players on the straight and narrow. Here are some of the clones' most advanced features: 
1	Providing a unique interpretation of the weekly game broadcasts iconic introductory music, country singer Carrie Underwood earlier this week debuted her own version of Waiting All Day For Sunday Night, a sprawling, multi-part progressive rockinspired take on the NBC Sunday Night Football theme. Drawing on the musical stylings of legendary prog rockers such as Yes, Genesis, and King Crimson, Underwoods bombastic performance is reportedly marked by shifting time signatures, lengthy instrumental passages, and abstract, mystical lyrics, all of which serve to highlight the thrills and excitement of NBCs flagship football broadcast. The 26-minute song will play in its entirety before every single edition of Sunday Night Football, network sources have confirmed. When NBC asked me to come up with my own version of their intro music, I decided that I wanted to give them something really special, said Underwood, who described her piece as combining the theatricality of 60s- and 70s-era symphonic art rock with elements more traditionally associated with the game of football such as tackling and touchdowns. From the opening overture to the spacey, Interstellar Overdrive-esque middle section to the concluding reprisal of the central melodic motif, fans are going to love this one. And I think its the perfect way to kick off the Sunday night action. This song is what footballs all about, Underwood continued. Although past incarnations of the Sunday Night Football theme have typically taken a straightforward rock and roll approach, with versions by singers Faith Hill and Pink not exceeding the two-minute mark, the former American Idol winners seven-part suite reportedly paints a rich sonic tapestry that utilizes analog synthesizer riffs, 12-string guitar arpeggios, and pastoral flute accompaniment. In addition, Underwoods copious lyrics take listeners deep into a richly imagined alternate realm known as the Gridiron, a medieval world populated by monstrous linebackers, scantily clad harlequin dancers, and winged footballs. Furthermore, the song is paired with a music video in which footage of Underwood performing with her elaborately costumed bandmates is juxtaposed with scenes featuring the cloak-wearing singer journeying deep into the Coaching Tree Woods to do battle with the Blackout, a vicious beast dedicated to destroying all light and beauty in the Gridiron. As in past years, the video also includes interstitial scenes in which various NFL stars are shown preparing for a football game; however, given its sheer length, upwards of 200 athletes, coaches, and front office personnel are now featured. Initial reaction to Underwoods elaborate conceptual work has so far been positive. This is exactly what we were looking for, said Sunday Night Football producer Fred Gaudelli, adding that the end product more than justifies the cost of the elaborate lighting, multiple backdrops, and stage props required for the songs performance. What Carries done here is truly remarkable. Shes taken the stale, predictable football rock genre to an artistic and intellectual plane its never before seen. Some of our more unadventurous viewers may not be able to get into it, but I think this track is an immediate classic. I mean, Ive had that mellotron part from the halftime interlude stuck in my head all day, Gaudelli added. The producer additionally spotlighted the final five minutes of the songs videofollowing the Dance of the Endzone, a driving 9/8 instrumental passage featuring a frenetic Moog solo from guest musician Keith Emersonin which Underwood defeats the Blackout in battle, frees a captive Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth from the Bog of Suspensions, and emerges from the Great Tunnel clad in white for the songs rousing finale. The evil is vanquished, the monsters at bay, Underwood sings, a bank of football stadium spotlights illuminating as the sun sets behind her. Now the warriors shall meet on the field of play/For now all is beauty, now all is light. And Ive been waitin all day for Sunday night, Underwood concludes. 
1	Stopping at a local Days Inn Tuesday, traveler Dan Peterson, 27, was delighted to discover that the motel featured the premium channel HBO until he checked the night's programming listings. 'Aw, man, not Summer Catch,' said Peterson, as he browsed the cable guide. 'Then it's back-to-back episodes of Tracey Takes On at 11, followed by The Mexican at midnight and Ghosts Of Mars at 2 a.m. Fuck.' Peterson spent the evening reading the room's complimentary copy of See Rockford! and sucking on ice cubes. 
1	A dream nearly came true for leukemia patient Cody Patterson last week when the Make-A-Reasonable-Request Foundation provided the 10-year-old with free tickets to a Timberwolves game. 'Satisfying the modest hopes of children like Cody is so rewarding,' said president Tom Jameson, whose organization aims to fulfill the most practical wishes of children suffering from terminal illnesses. 'He originally wanted to sit on the bench and meet the players, but we were able to talk him down to a pair of sensibly priced tickets to a Monday home game. These two nonadjacent seats will really make his eyes light up.' In addition to providing a decent, largely unobstructed view of the game, the foundation agreed to go halfsies with Patterson on some nachos and a large drink. 
2	High School In North Carolina Just Put Shooting Ranges In Their Facilities, And Then THIS Happens Gun violence has been a heated topic in this country for some time now, with very polar opinions on the issues and the solutions. Despite the controversy, it is a necessity to continue to train some Americans to use a weaponwhether it be for law enforcement or for joining the armed forces. Their proposal received support and funding, and they were able to build a 1,200-square-foot, six-lane, indoor shooting range at Smithfield-Selma High School. Students have started target practice using Daisy air pump rifles, and the range has been a hit. They are required to undergo comprehensive gun safety training before entering the range. Not only do they need to take a safety course, but they are required to get a 100 on the test. Theyre also required to have a signature from home and to sign a safety pledge. After that, they are tested in the range. At the moment, only four students have permission to use the range, but the goal is to grow that number over the next year. What do you think of this idea? 
1	A computer-manipulated talking cat in a commercial for Fresh Step cat litter thoroughly delighted Ottumwa resident Sheila Dagenhardt Monday. The animated TV cat instructs its owner to 'talk to the paw.' 'Honey, you've got to come in here and see this ad!' Dagenhardt called out to husband Dale, who was in the kitchen making a bowl of microwave popcorn at the time. 'It's so adorable!' Dale, who missed a majority of the 30-second spot, managed to race back to the living room in time to see the cat's owner hold out a bag of Fresh Step cat litter, to which the sass-talking feline responded, 'Meow you're talking!' The ad then ended with an announcer delivering a warning to viewers to 'get your cat Fresh Step, before your cat gets fresh with you.' 'That was just about the cutest commercial I've ever seen,' Dagenhardt said. 'When the lady tried to fill the cat's box with a brand of litter that wasn't Fresh Step, the cat got all mad and put out its arm and said, 'Talk to the paw!'' Dagenhardt enjoyed the computer-generated cat so much, later that evening she phoned her sister in Des Moines to ask if she had seen the commercial. Sheila Dagenhardt 'Yeah, I saw that one during Judging Amy! It really looks like the cat's talking!' sister Deborah Sayner said. 'How do they make it do that?' 'Don't go there!' added Sayner, repeating the part of the commercial in which the sharp-tongued tabby warns its owner not to reach for a bargain-brand litter. After a lengthy discussion, the sisters came to the conclusion that the Fresh Step commercial was the best talking-animal ad they had seen since the one in which a group of brown bears sing 'P-E-P-S-I' to the tune of 'YMCA.' They did note, however, that even though the antics of the Fresh Step cat are funnier, the Snuggle bear is cuter. According to Fresh Step spokeswoman Roberta Alt, the Dagenhardts are not alone in their positive response to the new ad. In extensive focus-group testing, it scored 45 percent higher than last year's Fresh Step campaign, in which a large cat, heartbroken over his owner's litter choice, wakes up the neighbors by mournfully singing 'O Sole Meow.' 'Last year's 'Luciano Paw-varotti' spot was popular, but this one is even bigger,' Alt said. 'People really seem to love Fresh Step's new 'frank feline.' The cat's got attitude. Or, as we like to say, 'cattitude.'' Created by the San Francisco-based computer-animation firm Ocean 1, the ad's special effects cost $200,000. Total project expenditures for the funny-cat commercial were $245,000, but television air-time outlays are expected to bring the total cost of the campaign to $4.5 million, a sum Alt called 'well worth it in gains to brand-name recognition.' 'We're currently developing other cheeky ads that humorously illustrate what might happen if you don't provide your pet with a premium cat litter like Fresh Step,' Alt said. 'Imagine a cat who rebels against his owner's cheap litter by donning a leather jacket, sunglasses and mohawk!' Though Fresh Step's in-house creative team is still working on the new computer- generated cat's dialogue, Alt did confirm that the feline will utter the catchphrase, 'Are you talking to me-ow?' 
3	US Veterans Forcibly Sequestered in Mental Hospitals is Indefinite DetentionSusanne Posel, Contributor John Whitehead, attorney for the Rutherford Institute and Raub has stated that since the former Marines detention case, he has received numerous statementsfrom other veterans who are being discriminated against. The latest trend is to have our former US service men and women declared mentally ill and detained against their will. Just as Raub was forcibly detained in a mental ward, another veteranhas been taken without charge or criminal activity. His firearms were confiscated and he was given a court date. In a studypublished in the Archives of Internal Medicine, collaborating with the VA Medical Center, an estimated one third of veterans returning from Afghanistan and Iraq were determined to be mentally or psychologically ill. Touting post-traumatic stress disorder (PSTD), more than half of returning veterans are considered to be suffering from a war-related mental disorder. The authors of the study explain: Our results signal a need for improvements in the primary prevention of military service-related mental health disorders, particularly among our youngest service members because they are young, they are more likely to be of lower rank and more likely to have greater combat exposure than their older active-duty counterparts. Most recently is the inception of oppositional defiance disorder(ODD) which is described as a mental disease wherein free thinkers, non-conformists, civil disobedience supporters, and those who question authority are perceived as being hostile toward the government are labeled mentally ill. Psychiatrics claimthat sufferers have a recurrent pattern of negativistic, defiant, disobedient, and hostile behavior toward authority figures that persists for at least 6 months, which includes: Persistent stubbornness The RAND Corporation assertsthat the cost of caring for mentally ill veterans was more than $12 billion in 2007. Katherine Watkins, senior natural scientist for RAND said: With some changes, the VA could provide even better and more cost-effective care for the nations veterans, as well as serve as a model for other health care systems. The RAND Corporation paints US veterans as dangerous because of the degree to which they are mentally affected by their service exposure to war and war-like conditions. The globalist think-tank says veterans are suffering from schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, major depression, and substance use disorders. Doctors have classifiedChronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) as an incurable brain disease that soldiers returning from war suffer from. After having injured the brain during battle, soldiers are being touted as displaying large bursts of anger and depression while having their vital motor skills and memory impacted. Symptoms of CTE are recognized as memory loss, confusion, impaired judgment, impulse control problems, aggression, depression, and, eventually, progressive dementia. US veterans, being diagnosed with traumatic brain injury (TBI) are being trackedby the Department of Defense (DoD) because they may display personality changes that could come on without warning and effect their ability to acclimate back into American society. Researchers are claiming that even mild TBI can develop into CTE, which will cause veterans to possibly become a danger to themselves and those around them. In 2009, the Office of Intelligence and Analysis published a report entitled Rightwing Extremism,wherein domestic extremists were proposed to be the newest and most dangerous threat to the US since al-Qaeda. While admitting that they did not have definitive proof that: domestic rightwing terrorists are currently planning acts of violence, [however] rightwing extremists may be gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about several emergent issues. The economic downturn and the election of the first African American president present unique drivers for rightwing radicalization and recruitment. The DHS wanted to instill the ideathat veterans were being recruited to become right-wing extremists upon return from Iraq and Afghanistan. Janet Napolitano intimated that military veterans could become instruments of domestic terror. When Napolitanos comments were met with public distain, the DHS amended their assertion that extremist groups were highly-marked; but rather it was a lone wolf type that would carry out the biggest act of domestic terrorism. Mainstream mediahas spun the propaganda perfectly by asserting that the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks. A plan is unfolding that connects US veterans to the probability of committing horrendous acts of violence. The MSM provides the social dialogue while various federal agencies in collaboration with the US Army are using a medical condition to justify the coming accusations. We have seen this before. In May of this year, Federal Court Judge Katherine Forrestorderedthat the US military could not arbitrarily imprison Americans based on alleged terrorist activity in regard to the indefinite detention clause in the NDAA. Although Obamas lawyers appealed the ruling, the decision still stands. However, committing an individual to a mental hospital is not illegal. This may be why we are seeing our US veterans being targeted, called mentally ill, and forcibly removed from their homes. Coinciding with the growing number of mentally ill US veterans we are seeing the removal of their firearms and right to even own firearms. This is another scheme the Obama administration is implementing to set the stage for their complete takeover of America after marital law is declared.

2	Mosque In America Owned By The Muslim Brotherhood Receives 3 Million In Grants From Gov According to information obtained from a federal spending database, a Kansas City mosque with ties to the terrorist-affiliated Muslim Brotherhood has received nearly $3 million in federal grants over the past few years. Were not surprised, given how adamant Obama is about Islam being part of what makes America. The report detailed that the Islamic Center of Greater Kansas City has received $2,739,891 in taxpayer dollars from the Department of Agriculture. (One could ask how the mosque even relates to agriculture, but we digress) The mosque is reportedly owned and operated by the North American Islamic Trust. The financial holding company has been known to promote Sharia Law in America through various Islamic organizations, and reportedly owns more than 300 different mosques and Islamic centers across the country. And this comes at a time when Obama is promising the American public that they have threats under control. What do you think? Do we need a real leader in the White House? 
1	Following yesterdays firing of head coach Brady Hoke, fans of the University of Michigan football team confirmed Wednesday that they are simply thankful the program is no longer relevant enough to be completely humiliated on a national stage. Its actually a relief to know that our years of total mediocrity basically preclude us from being crushed in front of millions of people during some sort of big-time game, said 26-year-old Joseph Reilly, one of thousands of Michigan fans who admitted to taking some comfort in the programs insignificance, as it virtually ensures they will not have to be thoroughly embarrassed during an ABC or ESPN primetime broadcast in the near future. At this point, were so far removed from the national picture that were almost immune to being on the receiving end of a huge blowout during a major bowl game. Honestly, Im just glad were so much of an afterthought that were at least free to disgrace ourselves in relative obscurity. Reached for comment, members of the Michigan athletic department told reporters they are equally thankful the programs fall from prominence has drastically lessened the pressure to get the next coaching hire right. 
2	Democratic Senators Pushing To Limit First Amendment Rights Almost two years after Senator Charles Schumer introduced his proposal known as the DISCLOSE Act, he is speaking out again to explain his stance on the matter. The DISCLOSE Act aims to rewrite portions of the First Amendment, pertaining to free speech rights and provisions. The core of Schumers proposal is the Citizens United decision, which suggests that labor unions and private businesses have free reign to donate unlimited funds to political groups. According to Schumer, that Supreme Court ruling was akin to the days when robber barons decided elections with dark money. What Schumer is proposing would allow government certain powers that would allow them to control political speech. Supporters of the DISCLOSE Act argue that thanks to the First Amendment, the Citizens United decision can never be undone. And supporters of the proposal claim that they are going to great lengths to ensure that it does not give the U.S. government any power that would interfere with press and religious freedoms. The proposal has not made much ground in the last few years, given its controversial nature. Still, it appears Schumer and other Democrats are trying to look for ways to lessen the impact of Citizens Untied. What do you think of the DISCLOSE Act?

2	Greta Van Susteren DESTROYS Angry Libs, Threatens To Do What No One Said She Would Beloved former Fox News host Greta Van Susteren became the latest target of liberal fire this week when she announced that she may be coming back on the air at another station. Many speculated she was talking about MSNBC, though she did not name the network herself. Greta fired back at those attacking her with a poignant New Years message. Can we get something straight? she wrote. When people work for a large companyincluding a networkthey are not responsible for everyone else who works there. They ARE responsible for themselves. Why do I post this? Because I have seen so many comments critical of me for working at Fox, and now the chatter that I may be going to another network, CNN or MS/NBC. Yes, it is indeed true that I am considering going back to TV, but that is not the point of this posting but rather to emphasize that if I do go back, like always, I will be responsible for myself and my hour. This is the way it has always been.and if I sign a contract and you liked my show before, you will like it now (I am the same person.), she added. And if you didnt like my show before? Wellyou wont like what I do now. But in the end? We should all look at issues, not just take sides. We wont always agree, but we are on the same team as Americans with the same goalspeace, prosperity, and opportunity. In the news we should identify problemsget the factsand try to come up with solutions, she concluded. Thats what the news business should be aboutlooking to make things better, not stirring up venom. We wont always agreeeven my own family does not always agree with mebut I really want to try, yes try, to make things better, make things better for you and for next generations to come. Happy New Year. What do you think? Do you agree with Gretas message? 
3	Gangster State US/UKPaul Craig Roberts David Miranda, the Brazilian partner of Glenn Greenwald, who is reporting on the illegal and unconstitutional spying by the National Stasi Agency, was seized, no doubt on Washingtons orders, by the puppet British government from the international transit zone of a London airport. Miranda had not entered the UK, but he was seized by UK authorities. (Source) Washingtons UK puppets simply kidnapped him, threatened him for nine hours, and stole his computer, phones, and all his electronic equipment. As a smug US official told the media, the purpose was to send a message. You might remember that Edward Snowden was stuck for some weeks in the international transit zone of the Moscow airport. The Obama tyrant repeatedly browbeat Russias President Putin to violate the law and kidnap Snowden for Obama. Unlike the once proud and law-abiding British, Putin refused to place Washingtons desires above law and human rights. The second extraordinary violation occurred almost simultaneously with UK authorities appearing at the Guardian newspaper and illegally destroying the hard drives on the newspapers computers with the vain intention of preventing the newspaper from reporting further Snowden revelations of US/UK high criminality. This is extraordinary. It was the English who originated liberty. True, in 1215 it was the freedom of the barons rights from the kings infringement, not the freedom of the commoner. But once the principle was established it spread into the entire society. By 1680 the legal revolution was complete. The king and the government were subject to law. The king and his government were no longer the law and above the law. In the 13 colonies the Englishmen who populated them inherited this English achievement. When King Georges government refused the colonies the Rights of Englishmen, the colonists revolted, and the United States was born. The descendants of these colonists now live in an America where their Constitutional protections have been overthrown by a tyrannical government that claims it is above the law. This raw fact has not stopped the US government or its puppets from continuing to cloak the war crime of military aggression in the faux language of bringing freedom and democracy. If the Obama and Cameron governments were in the dock at Nuremberg, the entirety of both governments would be convicted. The question is: are there sufficient brainwashed people in both countries to sustain the US/UK myth that freedom and democracy are attained via war crimes? There is no shortage of brainwashed Americans who love to be told that they are indispensable and exceptional, and therefore entitled to work their will on the world. It is difficult to discern in these clueless Americans much hope for the revival of liberty. But there is some indication that the British, who did not inherit liberty but had to fight for it for five centuries, might be more determined. The British Home Affairs Committee, chaired by Keith Vaz, is demanding an explanation from Obamas lap dog, the British prime minister. Also, Britains watchman over anti-terrorism enforcement, David Anderson, is demanding that the UK Home Office and police explain the illegal use of anti-terrorism laws against Miranda, who is not a terrorist or connected to terrorism in any way. Brazils foreign minister has joined the fray, demanding that London explain why the UK violated its own law and abused a Brazilian citizen. Of course, everyone knows that Washington forced its UK puppet to violate law in order to serve Washington. One wonders if the British will ever decide that they would be better off as a sovereign country. The White House denied involvement in Mirandas kidnapping, but refused to condemn the illegal action of its puppet. As for the UKs destruction of press freedom, the White House supports that, too. It is already happening here.

According to reports, Turnage has fathered 25 children from 15 different women. And he owes child support to all of them in the state of Tennessee. Now, he is wanted in the state of Arkansas for owing child support on three more children. According to reports, many of the women claim that they were unaware of Turnages other children or that fact that he is now infamous for being the deadbeat dad. In fact, one woman involved with Turnage found out about his history from the child support office. During the whole relationship, I only knew of four children, Latoya Shields, mother of Turnages children told reporters. She also claimed that she only received checks from Turnage in amounts ranging from $6 to $9, even though he was ordered to pay $259 a month. Turnage is also known in Forrest City, Arkansas, where he is a club owner that is consistently seen driving around in expensive cars. What do you think? Does Turnage need to be thrown in jail immediately?

2	THIS Hollywood Celebrity Sues Fox News, Gets Back Handed With Instant Retribution According to recent reports, Lindsay Lohan is filing to sue Fox News for defamation. Now, Fox is speaking out about the incident, making it clear that the network has little intention of backing down. Nearly a year a, Fox News contributor Michelle Fields made the claim that Lindsay Lohans mom [was] doing cocaine with her. The comment, which was made on Hannity, has sparked the lawsuit claiming that malicious innuendo was made against them. Fox News recently spoke up to assure reporters and fans that they will be defending themselves to the fullest. The remark about which Lindsay and Dina Lohan complain was made on live television by a guest nearly a year ago, the statement from a Fox spokesperson reads. We removed the segment from our archives altogether last February and also apologized on-air. At that time, the Lohans did not make any demands for money, and we are surprised they are doing so now. What do you think of the lawsuit? Are the Lohans simply money-hungry or are they justified in their actions?

3	Advice for the secret CDC vaccine whistleblowerJon Rappoport He was, a decade ago, part of the CDC team who suppressed data showing a clear connection between the MMR vaccine and autism. If he comes clean now, he will expose deep crimes of the CDC. He will torpedo the ship. To succeed, he has to be strong. He has had ten years to consider how to go public. Express his own shame, remorse, and regret? Yes. But he mustnt let his remorse make him so weak he cant tell the truth in the forthright way the truth deserves. And he has to say everything he knows. The specifics. Names, dates, places, publications, lies. He has to describe exactly who ordered the suppression of the facts, who said the vaccine was safe when it was a loaded weapon. The untold number of parents and their autistic children who were assaulted and damaged by vaccines deserve all that. If the CDC had told the truth about vaccine-damage all along, many lives would have been saved, not destroyed. Repeat: If the CDC had told the truth about vaccine-damage all along, many lives would have been saved, not destroyed. I dont know how well acquainted this whistleblower is with basic facts about vaccine damage, beyond his specialized area. He ought to learn a few things, in order to understand the true scope of the disaster and the tragedy and the crime. Perhaps it will help him bolster his courage, knowing the importance of his new mission. Lets start here. Statistics Report, March 5, 2014 (source: hrsa.gov: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration, National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program). This is a compilation of US government compensation payouts to people who have been damaged by vaccines. Its published by the US Department of Health and Human Services / Health Resources and Services Administration. Chart III: From 1988 to 2014, the US government has paid out $2,857,926,807.60 in compensation. $2.8 billion. Keep in mind that many people who have been damaged by vaccines have never contacted the federal compensation program at all. Others have engaged in the long, arduous, and frustrating process, only to give up in midstream. So the true figure on what the federal government would and should have paid out by now is much higher than $2.8 billion. Every dollar represents physical and mental vaccine destruction. How many people in America are severely injured and damaged by vaccines every year? If we listen to the sold-out experts, we come away thinking: very few. But the truth is, there is no reliable accounting. There is no reliable system for assessment. The reference here is In the Wake of Vaccines, by Barbara Loe Fisher, founder of the National Vaccine Information Center. Her article was published in the Sept./Oct. 2004 issue of Mothering Magazine. Gathering information from several sources, Fisher makes a reasonable estimate of vaccine damageactual figures are not available or carefully tracked or vetted. In other words, the system for reporting adverse effects is broken. Fisher: But how many children have [adverse] vaccine reactions every year? Is it really only one in 110,000 or one in a million who are left permanently disabled after vaccination? Former FDA Commissioner David Kessler observed in 1993 that less than 1 percent of doctors report adverse events following prescription drug use. [See DA Kessler, Introducing MEDWatch, JAMA, June 2, 1993: 2765-2768] There have been estimates that perhaps less than 5 or 10 percent of doctors report hospitalizations, injuries, deaths, or other serious health problems following vaccination. The 1986 Vaccine Injury Act contained no legal sanctions for not reporting; doctors can refuse to report and suffer no consequences. Even so, each year about 12,000 reports are made to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System; parents as well as doctors can make those reports. [See RT Chen, B. Hibbs, Vaccine safety, Pediatric Annals, July 1998: 445-458] However, if that number represents only 10 percent of what is actually occurring, then the actual number may be 120,000 vaccine-adverse events. If doctors report vaccine reactions as infrequently as Dr. Kessler said they report prescription-drug reactions, and the number 12,000 is only 1 percent of the actual total, then the real number may be 1.2 million vaccine-adverse events annually. 1.2 million. What government agency should be making a titanic effort to do the (honest) research on the true extent of vaccine damage? The CDC. Thats their central job. Counting numbers. Thats who the secret vaccine whistleblower works for, right now. If he steps out of shadows, he should understand the extent of his employers betrayal of the American people, when its spokespeople say, over and over again, that vaccines are uniformly safe and effective. He should understand that, and it should give him strength. Go public NOW. The whole truth, revealed immediately, is his best protection.

1	Nearly four billion years of biological evolution failed to prevent local man Dale Haynes from accidentally drooling all over his pant leg while sitting in his cubicle Monday. 'This flaw in Mr. Haynes' control of basic motor functions, certainly uncorrected since the dawn of hominids and very possibly before, allowed a strand of spittle to emerge from the oral cavity without producing a single neural response,' anthropologist Raymond Hull said. 'Perhaps over the next 50 million years, humans will evolve a mechanism to prevent random discharges of saliva from hanging briefly from one's lower lip before pooling onto the crotch area of one's khakis, making it appear as though one has pissed oneself.' Hull noted, however, that Haynes did possess the evolutionary advancements necessary to untuck his shirt and cover the wet spot until it had dried. 
1	NEW YORKAccording to a report published in the February issue of Forbes magazine, employers are reporting difficulty finding job benefits to eliminate. 'Health insurance, matching 401(k) contributions, lunch breaks, and various allowances and reimbursements are all fair game for cost-cuttingthat is, when they are offered by employers in the first place,' staff writer Jason Smills wrote. 'By not extending these perks to their employees in the first place, however, American business owners find themselves lacking the crucial ability to take them away.' Smills noted that 97 percent of the possible benefit cuts in American jobs had already been made, reducing the potential for greater company profits and executive-level benefits to 'alarming' lows. 
2	VIDEO: Fox News Reporter DESTROYS Obama In Best Moment Ever During WH Press Conference During the news briefing at the end of last year, Obamas press secretary Josh Earnest confirmed the White Houses push for stricter gun-control laws. At the time, the FBI had already started investigating the San Bernardino shooting as an act of terrorism. Fox News reporter Peter Doocy was not about to let Earnest off easy. He stepped up to the plate and asked the question that Americans everywhere were thinking. 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, of course, issued a well-conditioned response. He claimed that all four weapons used by the shooters were obtained legally, and that a terrorism motive had not yet been confirmed in the incident. That may have been true, but the chances were high, given that shooter Tashfeen Malik had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group as she and her husband opened fired at the Inland Regional Center. Reports also noted that two of the weapons used by the couple were given to them by someone else; something that is clearly illegal in California. Essentially, unless the individual who gave them the weapons was a licensed firearms dealer, the couple obtained them illegally. This past week, America found itself in a crisis once more, with the worst mass shooting in history taking place in Orlando. Not surprisingly, Obama and his buddies are telling the same story once again. Instead of admitting that these crimes have anything to do with Islam, Obama would rather blame our Second Amendment. What do you think? Are you tired of Obama using this nations tragedies to push his own agenda? Do we need a leader who is not afraid to acknowledge and address the true threats facing this nation?

Authorities responded to the call at 1:13 PM. Shortly thereafter, a 51-year-old man from the area was shot and killed by the unit after escaping out of the back of the theater. Unfortunately, he did not exit without causing damage. A 58-year-old man was injured in the incident, and two women were treated for chemical exposure to pepper spray. This incident comes just shortly after the Trainwreck shooting in a Louisiana theater. 
3	Who Created Cartoon Character Man Haron Monis Behind Sydney Siege Circus?Tony Cartalucci As predicted, the suspect amid the Sydney Siege, has long been on the radar of Australian law enforcement, as well as a frequent visitor to Australias court system. Before that, however, he came to Australia as a political refugee, an opponent of what he called the Iranian regime, and was even interviewed by Australias ABC network in 2001 as part of an ongoing anti-Iranian propaganda campaign. It has been revealed that long-time agitator, alias Man Haron Monis, also known as Manteghi Boroujerdi, was the suspect amid the so-called Sydney Siege hostage crisis. Monis/Boroujerdi claims to be a Shiaa religious leader and is often seen in press photos dressed as one. Despite this, he was at the center of a hostage crisis requesting the flag of the Islamic State terrorist organization be delivered to him while claiming association with other ISIS brothers. Neither Islamic nor a state, ISIS is led by US, Israeli, and Saudi-backed Wahabi terrorists, promoting a perversion of Sunni Islam the bane to both genuine Sunnis and Shiaa worldwide and against which both the nations of Syria and Iran are fighting. Monis/Boroujerdirose to infamy amid two notable incidents one being his involvement in the stabbing death and burning of his ex-wife the other being his controversial campaign of sending hate-letters to the families of dead Australian soldiers killed during the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan. The latter was used extensively to stir up division across the pro and anti-war political divide. The Australian in a September 2013 article titled, Cleric Man Haron Monis punished for offensive letters written to families of dead Diggers, reported that: In December of 2013, the Australian Daily Telegraph would report in an article titled, Hate sheik Man Horan Monis and girlfriend Amirzh Droudis granted bail on murder charges, that: But beforeMonis/Boroujerdis recent run-ins with the law and his role as chief Muslim boogeyman in Australia, hewas Manteghi Boroujerdi, a victim of the Iranian regime who was in love with Western society. The interview itself is used as yet another vehicle to carry along Western propaganda long-aimed at Iran. It claims Monis/Boroujerdis family is in grave danger and that Monis/Boroujerdi himself would be executed should he ever return to Iran. It quotes Monis/Boroujerdi several times including claims he was formally associated with Iranian intelligence: And was in contact with the UN regarding security issues in Iran: At one point during the interview Monis/Boroujerdi professes his love of Australia, Canada, the US, and UK claiming: However, later in 2008, Monis/Boroujerdis activities drew the attention of real Shiaa religious leaders in Australia who asked Australian security agents to investigate him. In an Australian article titled, Call to probe mystery Shia cleric, it was reported that: But it was the Australian media itself who introduced him publicly as an Ayatollah and the Australian government that vetted him and allegedly granted him political asylum. He was allegedly in contact with the UN and was used to stir up anti-Iranian sentiment in Australia. It is then highly suspicious that now both the Australian media and the Australian government appear to have no knowledge of who he is or where he came from. For someone used as part of the Wests anti-Iranian propaganda campaign, and who was granted political asylum into Australia, but who is now supposedly unknown to those who invited him in and used him, there is clearly more to the story of Monis/Boroujerdi a story that may then offer insight into his latest performance. Perhaps most ironic of all is the fact that the Iranian regime he was used to demonize apparently did not kill his wife instead, he himself is suspected of doing so. Whatever the case is, Monis/Boroujerdi is certainly no loan wolf terrorist. He, at best, is yet another Frankenstein of the establishment run amok after an abortive attempt to cultivate and use him to advance Western foreign and domestic policy. At worse, he is directly involved in an intelligence operation to further inflame division in Australian society and promote the long stalled war in Syria aimed at regime change there, before heading to Iran the scorn of Monis/Boroujerdi. An omnipresent all-invasive surveillance state that is constantly blindsided by terror attacks carried out by criminals and characters possessing extensive criminal records and who are well-acquainted with that states law enforcement, media, and even government, is testament to the fact that such surveillance hasnt been and never was intended to serve the publics best interests nor to keep them safe but rather another system of control and manipulation to allow true dangers to human civilization to endure with impunity.

2	Lt. Gen. William Mayville Jr. DESTROYS Obamas Plan To Close Guantanamo Bay, He Is Livid Obama has been trying to shut down Guantanamo Bay for years. In the past few months, he has been moving swiftly to make this happen before his term is up. There are now less than 100 detainees left, and the number is dropping quickly. The military has just gone public with its decision to stand against Obama on this issue. Whats even better is that having them on board is essential for Obama to executive his plan of bypassing Congress. Current law prohibits the use of funds to transfer, release or assist in the transfer or release of detainees of Guantanamo Bay to or within the United States, and prohibits the construction, modification or acquisition of any facility within the United States to house any Guantanamo detainee. The Joint Staff will not take any action contrary to those restrictions, Lt. Gen. William Mayville Jr. said. Without their support, Obama cant make his move. We thank Lt. Mayville Jr. Do you think Gitmo should stay open?

2	VIDEO: Judge Gives Thug A Beating, Tells Him Run N***** Run, Racial Controversy Ensues According to recent reports, a Madison Country Justice Court judge is facing charges that he struck a mentally disabled man, and used racial slurs against him as he was working as a security guard at an event. The family of Eric Rivers, a 20-year-old African American man, has filed an official complaint against Judge Bill Weisenberger in connection with the incident, which allegedly took place in May of this year at a flea market. The case is believed to be heading to a grand jury. Witnesses told a local paper that Weisenberger hit the man and proceeded to call him racial slurs.

'Many of us have not eaten for days.' The new agenda replaces a previous one, which involved the development of a technologically advanced, fully modernized nation-state capable of leading Europe into the 21st century. If the firewood plan is successful, within five years Russian leaders hope to shift their focus to obtaining running water and soap. 'Do you have food?' Kerensky added. 'I am very hungry.' 
3	Dead US Ambassador Documented Creation of Benghazi Terror EmirateLate US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens documented the transformation of Benghazi, Libya into overt base of operations for Al Qaeda. The Washington Times, in an article titled, Ambassador Stevens warned of Islamic extremism before Benghazi attack, reported: The Washington Times would quote Stevens as writing: While all of this is depicted by the Western media as a recent revelation made only after the death of Ambassador Stevens, journalists around the world had documented and warned of the dangers of arming pro-democracy protesters who were clearly militant extremists, actively carrying out terrorism for at least three decades in the Cyrenaica (eastern Libya) region. Video: March, 2011, shortly after NATO began bombing Libya, journalists the world over were warning that the so-called pro-democracy protesters the West was purportedly protecting were in fact notorious extremist groups with a 30 year history of terrorism in Libya and abroad. Dr. Webster Tarpley provided documented evidence collected from the US Armys own West Point study, indicating the the epicenter of the so-called revolution, was in fact the global epicenter of Al Qaeda recruitment. It would be in this epicenter that John McCain would give his speech, and where Ambassador Stevens would later be killed. Geopolitical analyst Dr. Webster Tarpley, in March of 2011, published a report titled, The CIAs Libya Rebels: The Same Terrorists who Killed US, NATO Troops in Iraq, where a 2007 West Point study implicated Libyas Cyrenaica region as the global epicenter for Al Qaeda recruitment. The most prominent militant group in the region was the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), listed by the US State Department, United Nations, and the UK Home Office (page 5, .pdf) as an international terrorist organization. The United Nations, in addition to labeling LIFG as a terrorist organization, designated it as being in association with Al Qaeda, a designation that was made in 2001, a decade before NATOs military intervention. While the Western press and State Department officials attempt to claim the extremists operating in Benghazi are merely affiliated with Al Qaeda, this is an understatement. LIFG is Al Qaeda, and has been officially since 2007. The West Point report titled, Al-Qaidas Foreign Fighters in Iraq stated: To this day, LIFG leaders are alleged to occupy the highest echelons of Al Qaeda, with the recently deceased Abu Yahya al-Libi (the Libyan) having played a role in both terror outfits. With West Points 2007 report and the UNs 2001 official designation, it is clear that NATOs decision to arm these groups was an act of unprecedented, blatant state sponsorship of terrorism. That the UN mandated NATOs intervention, undermines entirely the primacy of international law. Warning Signs Were Covered Up, Not Ignored. While the Western press glossed over stories covering the hoisting of Al Qaeda flags described by Ambassador Stevens in his cables, the development was covered across the alternative media, including in, John McCain: Founding Father of the Terrorist Emirate of Benghazi, where the full implications and genesis of these prevailing extremists forces were examined in detail. Alternative analysis was quickly dismissed as conspiracy theories, even as Ambassador Stevens was sending his cables to Washington conveying exactly the same information. The West did not ignore these warnings. It covered them up intentionally through a concerted campaign of deceit, cognitive infiltration, and ridicule. The intelligence services of Washington and London had been supplying weapons and aid to the terrorists of Benghazi for 30 years, fought along side them in Afghanistan against the Soviets in the 1980s, armed and unleashed them in Kosovo in the 1990s, and willfully bolstered their numbers, armament, and operational capacity in 2011 in order to overthrow the Libyan government. The terror emirate of Benghazi that consumed Ambassador Stevens is a monster of the Wests own willful, premeditated creation the West fully cognizant of the implications and a monster the West is currently still arming, funding, and supporting, this time along the Turkish-Syrian border. US, NATO, and International Community to Willfully Repeat Mistake in Syria. Indeed, the very terrorists that have turned Benghazi into a terror emirate, with Al Qaeda flags waving freely over government buildings, and responsible for the death of a US Ambassador, are being sent to the Turkish-Syrian border where NATO member Turkey is harboring them while the US arms them with Saudi and Qatari purchased weapons. In November 2011, the Telegraph in their article, Leading Libyan Islamist met Free Syrian Army opposition group, would report: Later that month, some 600 Libyan terrorists would be reported to have entered Syria to begin combat operations and more recently, CNN, whose Ivan Watson accompanied terrorists over the Turkish-Syrian border and into Aleppo, revealed that indeed foreign fighters were amongst the militants, particularly Libyans. It was admitted that: CNN also added: CNNs reports provide bookends to 2011s admissions that large numbers of Libyan terrorists flush with NATO cash and weapons had headed to Syria, with notorious terrorist LIFG commandersmaking the arrangements. In essence, Syria has been under invasion for nearly a year by Libyan terrorists the very same terrorists who have overrun Benghazi and killed a US ambassador, fully facilitated by NATO. In addition to these terrorists, Turkey and the United States are also arming and funding Muslim Brotherhood militants as well as fighters from US State Department-listed Ansar al-Islam. To explain this to the public, the Western press is claiming that the weapons are inadvertently ending up in the hands of extremists, despite the CIA operating along the border allegedly steering weapons into the hands of more secular militants. In June of 2012, the New York Times in an article titled, C.I.A. Said to Aid in Steering Arms to Syrian Opposition, claimed: The C.I.A. officers have been in southern Turkey for several weeks, in part to help keep weapons out of the hands of fighters allied with Al Qaeda or other terrorist groups, one senior American official said. Then, apparently right under the nose of the CIA and NATO, the New York Times reported on October 14, 2012 in their article, Rebel Arms Flow Is Said to Benefit Jihadists in Syria, that: Clearly, there are only two explanations. The CIA is inept and should be held accountable for its profound and repeated failures, or the same verified lies told by the West in regards to Libya are being repeated in Syria. Either way, the West, though its demonstrable actions, has forfeited its self-proclaimed authority to intervene beyond its borders, based on international law it willfully, openly, and repeatedly violates, selectively enforces, and otherwise manipulates to achieve its extraterritorial ambitions and must be excluded entirely from any solution implemented to resolve the violence unfolding in Syria.

2	BREAKING: Jailed Marine In Critical Condition After Suicide Attempt According to recent phone interview with CNNs Chris Cuomo, Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi has admitted that he has attempted suicide with a shattered light bulb, after becoming paranoid. According to Tahmooressi, he was hog-tied to a prison bed. I had one hand above my head, not both, just one, Tahmooressi told Cuomo. I was laying on a bed. One leg was on one opposite wall and the other on the other wall above my head, maybe a foot-and-a-half, two feet. And yes, I did, when I got the opportunity, I decided to stab myself in the neck with a light bulb. The 25-year-olds reasoning behind the attempt was equally disturbing. I was thinking they were going to come and abuse me more and torture me and get information about my family from me. So I said Im not going to allow them to do that. This is just one of many reports that the young Marine Sgt.s health has been dwindling, as he battles PTSD. Tahmooressi also addressed rumors that he was lying about his trip to Mexico, telling Cuomo that his visits were absolutely not for the purpose of trafficking weapons or business. Instead, he claims that they were purely social in nature, and that he had traveled to Mexico solely for fun. When asked what he thought about the governments inaction thus far, Tahmooressi claimed: I dont know what theyre going to do to help me. I think if they do help me, its probably going to be behind the scenes and not too many people, or anyonethe public, isnt going to know about it. What do you think of Tahmooressis arrest? Is he telling the truth?

2	BREAKING: American Hero Suddenly Dies... Please Send Your Prayers American lost a true explorer and hero this week with the death of former astronaut John Glenn, the first American to orbit Earth. The ex-Marine and US Senator died at the age of 95, surrounded by his children and his wife of 73 years. Glenns biggest accomplishment was circling the earth in 1962 aboard the Friendship 7 space capsule, marking the moment the US caught up with the Soviet Union in a manned space exploration. His accomplishments didnt start or stop there. Before joining Americas space agency, Glenn served as a combat pilot in World War II and the Korean War. He earned six Distinguished Flying Crosses and flew more than 150 missions during the two conflicts. After returning to Earth from his 1962 mission, Glenn was elected as a Democrat to the US Senate, where he served for 24 years. In 1998, he became the oldest man to travel to space, at age 77. To look out at this kind of creation out here and not believe in God is, to me, impossible, Glenn said of that mission. His business career, which included an investment in a chain of Holiday Inns, made him a multi-millionaire. One of the remarkable things about Glenn was the fact that he came from modest roots. He was born in Ohio in 1921 as the only son of a plumber and schoolteacher. From his boyhood, Glenn had an admiration for planes. That passion lasted through his entire lifehe was piloting his own aircraft as recently as five years ago. In 2011, Glenn received the Congressional Gold Medal and a year later, Obama presented him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. On Thursday, Obama noted that Glenn had spent his life breaking barriers. NASA called him a true hero. 
3	Madness Coming To Gold Market: There Are Thirty to Fifty Owners For Each Ounce of Gold Thats Out ThereMac Slavo The rampant manipulationis believed to stem, in part, from the formerly Rothschild-owned LondonGold Fix, an organization made up of five large banks that make a daily determination of what the price of gold should be. It is this unilateral control by Western banks that recently prompted the Chinese to create their ownShanghai Gold Exchange. What separates the two is that the Chinese will be using their currency, the Yuan, as the reserve rather than the U.S. Dollar. Moreover, unlike their European counterparts, the Chinese will be trading in actual physical dollars. The Daily Coin explains: The product is gold. When gold is bought or sold [on the Shanghai Gold Exchange] a person actually takes delivery of the gold. That is not the case in London. In London the price is based two factors: 1) the futures market in New York. This is where people buy a contract for future gold. Gold that may or may not exist today but they are willing to purchase today and take delivery in the future. 2) The other factor is a very small group of banksters sitting around and determining what the price should be. You know, good-ole-boys club. It is this process by central banks in the West that will ultimately lead to the destruction of the paper gold market as it exists today. The banks operating in these paper markets doso with gold that they dont own. They trade in paper receipts. The reason thats a problem is that there are anywhere from thirty to fifty owners for every ounce of gold out there. Craig Hemke of the TF Metals Reportdiscusses the Western gold schemein a recent interview with The Daily Coinand says that when the music finally stops there are going to be a lot of people who think they own a certain amount of gold but all theyll really be holding is a worthless paper ticket: Theres a lot of central bank goldand even privately held gold that has been leased through these bullion banks. These bullion, they say well pay you one percent because your gold is just sitting there collecting dust but well pay you interest if you lease it to us. And then they go and they dump it, they move it physically in the market in the hopes that theyll be able to, when that lease comes due, theyll get the gold back and then repay it back to whoever loaned it to them in the first place. And they try to match all thoseup. And the hole that theyre digging just keeps getting deeper and deeper. There was news last week that now after about a year and a half after Venezuela repatriated their 80 or 90 tons of gold that now Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse are down there trying to talk them into leasing it back out. Boy, theyd be crazy if they did. Hey, give us that and we promise well give it back to you a year or two from now, no problem at all we can manage this [] You know, the first rule when youre in a hole is to stop digging. Right? Thats not what theyre doing. Theyre digging away frantically trying to maintain the status quo. I firmly believe there are multiple thirty maybe fifty beneficial owners for each ounce of gold thats out there Thirty orfifty folks that think they own that ounce and theyre all going to show up when the music stops thinking that theyre going to take delivery or lay claim to that ounce. And thats when the madness really starts. When will that be? Probably not tomorrow. But as any confidence scheme eventually unravels, and this one will unravel too. Its just a matter of time. The problem is easy to see. Should just two people show up claiming the same ounce of gold one of them is coming home empty handed. What Craig Hemke describes is a scenario where as many as fifty different people are going to claim ownership for the same ounce of gold. The same is likely true for the silver market. And now that the Chinese are dealing directly with physical gold it is only a matter of time before the entire scheme collapses. In fact, the Chinese and Russians know its coming and thats why theyve been furiously purchasing gold on the open market. The solution should be obvious: If you invest in gold make sure you hold the physical asset in your hand.

'He just said, 'All you have to do to ensure the continued success of the Yankee franchise is is yell... at ' and then he was gone,' Hank Steinbrenner told reporters Monday morning.

He then announced plans to fire every employee in the company one by one until the Yankees return to first place. 
2	CNN Caught Red Handed Falsely Adding Incendiary Racist Quotes Over Trumps Statements CNN just reached a new lowand thats saying a lot for them. According to reports, the network intentionally added the word racial to a statement that Donald Trump made about immigration and terrorism. The addition made it appear as if the Republican presidential nominee was advocating, racial profiling. This outrageous tactic came just days after the network was caught editing comments made by Hillary Clinton about the bombings in New York City. CNN was heavily criticized at that point for selective editing, but it appears they did not take that criticism to heart. Fortunately, concerned Americans werent going to let CNN get away with this one. They took to social media to express their frustrations: John Cardillo (@johncardillo) September 20, 2016 
1	Saying it would give local youths a wider range of academic options, Philadelphia public school officials expressed high hopes Thursday for the recently opened Edison Magnet School, a new pilot initiative that caters to students who are interested in an adequate education. Though still in its earliest experimental stages, the specialized high school has reportedly attracted students from across the city who share a desire to receive the kind of competent instruction in math, reading, and science unavailable in more traditional American classrooms. A few years ago, we started to realize that many young people in our district really wanted to become proficient in core academic subjects, so we decided to develop a school that places a strong emphasis on learning, said Denise Paulson, Edisons principal. While our approach may not be for every student, we feel obligated to provide this alternative to those kids who wish to acquire basic factual knowledge before they graduate. Several students told reporters they appreciate the new schools highly original methodology, but conceded it may take a while to grow accustomed to the process of learning information and developing skills in a classroom setting. Were offering them a unique opportunity, something they wont find anywhere else, she added. In a radical departure from the norm, Paulson explained, teachers at the school have been carefully trained in the subjects they teach. Reports confirmed that these specialized educators are also required to prepare ahead of time and create lesson plans for their classes, with the chief objective being to ensure students gain at least a passing familiarity with a particular area of study, such as algebra, history, biology, or English composition. According to district administrators, any student who aspires to read at grade level or possess a rudimentary facility with numbers can apply to the new competency-track program offered at Edison. I know its only been a week, but their method seems to be workingmy daughter Lisa has already learned several new things, said Edison parent Jeremy Lancaster, who noted that his daughters previous school didnt even offer a single course for students interested in acquiring knowledge. The philosophy at Edison is to teach students something new every day. There arent many schools like that around the country, so were very grateful. Lisa has always showed an interest in knowing things, so her mother and I feel Edisons focus on academics makes it a good match for her, Lancaster added. In alignment with the schools unorthodox mission to ensure its graduates are reasonably well equipped to head out into the world, even the layout of the building and the provision of learning materials reflect what administrators are calling Edisons scholastic approach to education. Officials confirmed the well-lit classrooms have been made large enough to tolerably accommodate the number of students assigned to the class, and in stark contrast to prevailing trends, each pupil is given his or her own relatively up-to-date textbook. Several students told reporters they appreciate the new schools highly original methodology, but conceded it may take a while to grow accustomed to the process of learning information and developing skills in a classroom setting. Im used to regular-style classes, so its definitely been a big change to come here and have these coherently explained lessons day after day, Edison sophomore Carly Gutierrez said. It was kind of shocking that first day when I realized my teachers actually seemed to have a halfway decent handle on what they were talking about. Its just completely different from any other school Ive ever been to before, Gutierrez added. 
2	Muslim Boys High School Team Refuses To Play Against Team For This DISGUSTING Reason According to recent reports, a boys soccer team from ISNA Private Islamic High School refused to finish a game because there were two girls playing on the opposing team. The two females were allowed to play on the male team because Robert F. Hall Catholic School did not have a girls team. Their participation was approved by the Region of Peel Secondary School Athletic Association (ROPSSAA). Still, ISNA confronted the ref at half time. The girls told reporters that they voluntarily sat out on the second half of the game to allow it to move forward. Thankfully, their team left with a 6-1 win. Free mixing is generally something we do not do, more so out of respect than anything, Coach Abdool-Karim for ISNA told reporters. We want them to understand this balance between religion and having to sacrifice the sport you love is a difficult situation. 
3	What todays college activism is all about; And the revolt against the empireJon Rappoport In the 1960s, there was a fearful and terrible thing called college activism. It was fearful and terrible for the US war machine, during the Vietnam disaster. From that moment, the establishment decided: this must never happen again. Flash forward to today. Political movements on college campusesmany of them funded by college cashare all about anything and everything EXCEPT a revolt against: The State; The war machine; Destructive mega-corporations. This is no accident. Its a large op. A diversionary op. Student groups on campuses are pitted against each other as they battle for college funding. Students operate under a cloud of government loans so huge they have to preoccupy themselves with a future in which they are basically debtors, trying to pay off the $. As a result of multiple Globalist treaties (e.g., NAFTA, GATT, and the upcoming TPP), the job market in the US is deeply depressed. Therefore, debtor students have to focus on strategies for landing employment after graduation. Millions of students are inevitably wrapped up in college courses which, in one form or another, are bankrolled by corporate and government money. The subliminal message: dont rock the boat; dont bite the hand that feeds you; dont revolt against The Machine. Here are some approved issues about which you are permitted to protest. Go to it. But dont step outside the line. On top of all this, corporate and government money, which drives the agendas of many college teaching departments, results in curriculum slanted toward officially approved ideas, concepts, paradigms. The result? Students are programmed within narrow parameters. The good news is: its darkest before the dawn. There are students around the world who can see through all this insanity. They know their education and their college experience are being tilted, slanted, directed, and reduced. They can imagine something else. Theyre at an age where shoot-for-the-moon still has vivid meaning. A locked-down society isnt their dream. They can turn the op around and begin investigating their own colleges and universities. They can follow the money and find out where its coming from. They can expose their schools as arms of the Corporate State. They can support those few professors who buck the tide. In my previous article, I strongly suggested a target: Monsanto. That mega-corp has its hands and money deep in the entrails of many colleges. The corruption is foul. It can be rooted out. Life is never what it seems to be, unless the order of the day is Surrender. There are always new roads and new possibilities. Most people dont want to know about that. But some do.

1	Evoking cataclysmic scenes of extreme weather and widespread drought and famine, the nations climate change deniers held a press conference Wednesday to describe exactly what the Earth must look like before they will begin to believe in human-induced global warming. The group of skeptics, who said that the consensus among 97 percent of the scientific community and the documented environmental transformations already underway are simply not proof enough, laid out the precise sequence and magnitude of horrific eventsincluding natural disasters, proliferation of infectious diseases, and resource warsthey would have to witness firsthand before they are swayed. For us to accept that the average surface temperature of the Earth has risen to critical levels due to mankinds production of greenhouse gases, well need to see some actual, visible evidence, including a global death toll of no less than 500 million people within a single calendar year, said spokesperson William Davis, 46, of Jackson, NJ, who added that at least 70 percent of all islands on the planet would also have to become submerged under rising seas before he and his cohort would reconsider their beliefs. To start, were going to have to see supercell tornadoes of category F4 or higher ripping through Oklahoma at least three times a day, leveling entire communities and causing hundreds of fatalitiesand just to be perfectly clear, were talking year-round, not just during the spring tornado season. I dont think its too much to ask to see a super hurricane destroying the Southeast U.S. and another one at the same time decimating the Pacific Northwest before I make up my mind about this. The reality is that were still experiencing cold, snowy winters, and the entire global population is not currently embarking on cross-continental migrations in search of arable land, Davis continued. Until that changes, we cannot be expected to believe climate change is occurring. Davis went on to say that certain events, such as massive, uncontrollable wildfires across the U.Snot just restricted to the American West, but in areas including Florida and New Englandwould render climate change deniers open to reevaluating the decades worth of data that show the planet is warming at a catastrophic rate. Additionally, Davis said that for the community to begin believing a single word of any scientific journal article corroborating climate change, every one of Earths glaciers would have to retreat at a rate exceeding 20 miles per year, and each of the skeptics, individually, would have to go a decade without seeing naturally occurring ice anywhere. Furthermore, climate change deniers maintained that if the total number of plant and animal species on the planet remained higher than 200 in aggregate, they would not be dissuaded from their belief that Earth is simply experiencing one of its natural warming cycles that would eventually resolve itself on its own. I dont think its too much to ask to see a super hurricane destroying the Southeast U.S. and another one at the same time decimating the Pacific Northwest before I make up my mind about this, said global warming skeptic Michelle Wilkinson of Medina, MN, adding that she would be willing to recognize the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change if repeated and unpredictable storm surge flooding rendered every major East Coast city, including Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., wholly uninhabitable. The fact of the matter is that if I walk outside at any time of day at any point in the year and its below 90 degrees, then there simply isnt enough proof that we need to be cutting carbon emissions. After clarifying that the desertification of major population centers, and the global refugee crisis that would result, would be necessary but not sufficient evidence of climate change, the skeptics reportedly unveiled a vivid artists rendering of the vast expanse of parched, lifeless earth and dead trees that each of them must see through the windows of their homes before reversing their opposition to public schools teaching children about global warming. We keep hearing all this mumbo-jumbo about the sixth mass extinction were in the midst of, said Mitch McConnell, a U.S. senator from Kentucky, at the conclusion of the press conference. Well, if thats the case, then tell me this: Why arent the streets littered with human bodies right now, with the ragged bands of the still-living siphoning the moisture from the corpses of the dead? Were not unreasonable; we just need the evidence to be convincing before we make a decision, McConnell added. 
3	Regulation Nation: Where Independence Is Illegal Without A PermitBy Daisy Luther The government is aware of their own pending obsolescence and thats why theyre so desperate to regulate every darned thing. Oh and the money they make a ton of money from forcing you to purchase permission to live your life. Every time someone pops up and does something independently, the government says, Oh, no. All things must come from us, your benefactors. By mandating helplessness, the government seems to want to instill in us a belief that we cant get by without them. Why? Because theyre quickly becoming obsolete. People are weary of the countless laws, so numerous that we all break them every time we set foot outside our doors. The most innocuous things have come under fire as people struggle to survive and dare to do so independently: Give me a break. There is one thing at play here. Control. People all over the nation have proven that ordinary citizens can make a change in the plight of homeless people. On their own dimes, good people have fed those less fortunate, given them a safe place to camp, and most of all treated them with the dignity that all human beings deserve. Again, weve shown that people want to help people and that we dont require Papa Government to come in and look after everyone. Then, as often happens, along came the government, who said, How dare you provide for the needs of others without our help, regulations, and permission? Michael Snyder wrote a fantastic article outlining the governments war on homelessness. In his article, he related the following facts: And thats not all. According to Snyders research, the homeless have become a target all across the country. All across the U.S. laws have been passed that specifically target the homeless. According to the National Coalition for the Homeless, the following are some of the most typical ways that the homeless are targeted Im astounded by the type of mental gymnastics that makes any police officer think that its a fine and acceptable thing to go around and take away the meager possessions that these homeless people have left. But, you know, theyre just doing their jobs. If Karma strikes back at those job-doers it will be a beautiful thing. The folks you see on the street arent all just lazy bums and drunks who dont want to work, although its a lot easier to look at it that way. Villainizing people in a desperate situation is a way to put distance between us and them. However, according to StreetSteam.org, the real reasons that people become homeless are reasons that could happen to anyone. And as our economic crisis continues to worse and the cost of living continues to go up, well see more and more people joining the ranks of the homeless. It is illegal (or in the process of becoming illegal) to feed hungry people in 71 cities across the United States, according to this map from the National Coalition for the Homeless. We must get permission to feed ourselves or others, make a living without a typical job, and help our neighbors. We have to pay money to get a license to hunt or fish. We have to pay yearly extortion fees to drive our own cars. We cant sell eggs from our chickens without permission in some states, and to do so legally, must attend a course and pay a fee to get an egg handlers license. To barter, we have to conduct our business like a bunch of drug dealers. If I want to swap my home-raised chickens for someone elses home-raised lamb, heaven forbid that the government should find out. Theyd tax us, inspect us, fine us, and maybe even arrest us. In places where you arent allowed to have or carry a firearm, youre at the mercy of criminals and the wait time from calling 911. One must jump through a ridiculous number of hoops to get a concealed carry permit to be able to protect oneself instead of waiting helplessly for the cops to show up. If only I were making this up. If we dont need their handouts, their jobs, their food, and their social assistance, its a whole lot harder for them to force us to do things against our will. When you dont need anything the government has to offer, you have the type of freedom upon which our nation was founded. It was called the Declaration of Independence for a reason, but many Americans have lost that revolutionary spirit. They just stand by and accept unreasonable and unjust laws. They shrug and say that theres nothing they can do. And now, these unjust laws are preventing us from helping those who are struggling. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in his letter from aBirmingham, Alabama jail, wrote, One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. Personally, I have no intention whatsoever of following an unjust law. If I see that someone is hungry, Ill feed them. If theyre cold, Ill clothe them. I will grow my own food, drink from a well, and trade goods with my friends. If I can help another human being, Ill do it, and the government be damned.

It is this broken mindset weve been brainwashed into believing that everything the government does has authority that has done us all in. Fact is, we do NOT have to contract with them at all, nor ask their permission to do anything. Problem with implementing that truth is they dont tell their armed thugs, er, law enforcement officers that they not only like them to have lower than average IQs, but they also must be tested to see if they have a propensity to follow orders, even those whose ethics and lawfulness are questionable at best. I love that this topic is gaining ground here, and I applaud all of you for providing the venue for us to discuss it. Well done~ All I had to do was look at the headline to know youd be down here. lol Hi friend:) Great comment! A lot of police department have an IQ Cap, and generally its about 100; higher than that, they figure youre sharp enough to start questioning things. And that just will not do. Most intelligent people are terrible at acting dumb 100% of the time; they will slip up somewhere, sometime. The ones that are are sociopaths and psychopaths and yes, you will find some of those on police departments everywhere.

And trump will finish what obama started. Always be a light that is shininginthedark Dont worry, Chump is gonna fix everything!! The report form Iron Mountain most clearly is summed by a few words. Gooferment must strike fear and must perpetuate wars to remain meaningful. This, the consequence of the constitutional framers replacing Yahwehs immutable moral law and what is truly limited government for their own capricious Enlightenment traditions and what was to inevitably become government gargantuan. Its what the Prophet Hosea depicted as sowing the wind and reaping the whirlwind: [B]ecause they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. (Hosea 8:1,7) Had Moses come down Mt. Sinai with todays glutted government regulations, he wouldnt have come down the Mountain with two tablets but with a hernia, a broken back, and an untold number of wagons pulled by both donkeys and elephants alike. A senate further enslaves the people to a gargantuan federal government, which must be paid for with tax dollars. Constitutionalists, Libertarians, and even Republicans are often heard discussing the idea that limited government was an objective of the framers. It is true that government was much more limited in the late 1700s than it is today. But do not believe for a minute that the Constitution provided us with limited government, even in the late 1700s. A government consisting of a president, vice president, House of Representatives, Senate, and judiciary can hardly be described as limited. When the framers threw away Americas Christian theocracy in exchange for the United States secular theocracy, they also cast aside limited government. With some rare exceptions, Yahwehs government consists of only one King and Legislator Yahweh and a judiciary to litigate His commandments and statutes and enforce His judgments. That is limited government. Yahwehs government has no need for a president and his cabinet, no need for the House of Representatives or the Senate and their glutted bureaucracy, no need for a prison complex, no need for a parasitical welfare system, no need for the Federal Reserve, no need for the Internal Revenue Service, and no need for a tax-subsidized standing army. Constitutionalists want to abolish nearly everything enumerated here, but they would have us return to the very document that permitted these excesses and robbed us of a truly limited government.

1	Despite the fact that the hit AMC television series Mad Men has no confirmed end date, local woman Andrea Ross, 34, announced Tuesday that she has already begun planning a Mad Menthemed party to coincide with the show's final episode. 'I'm so excited, I already found a place online that has these great highball glasses,' said Ross, adding that she has yet to find the 'perfect' cheese ball recipe for the party, which could take place next year or five years from now. 'And I just laid out the retro ashtrays and the Lucky Strike cigarettes, so we should be all set with that.' Ross later told reporters that she plans to style her hair in the fashion of Betty Draper, but if the character is killed off, keeps acting like a total bitch, or is eventually replaced by another actress because of a contract dispute, she will be perfectly happy 'doing Peggy hair.' 
1	Interrupting a meeting of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden called dibs on the clothes of Muammar Qaddafi, saying he wanted first pick of the Libyan dictator's wardrobe as soon as he was deposed. 'I've had my eye on those threads for years,' said Biden, promising the assembled military officers they could have Qaddafi's print shirts or any assorted hats and sunglasses that Biden didn't want. 'I need a couple of his traditional nomad outfits for this sheikh-themed party I'm throwing. And those uniforms with all the medals are pretty sweet.' According to sources, Biden was unable to lay claim to Qaddafi's Bedouin tents because Energy Secretary Steven Chu had called them minutes earlier. 
1	Following reports that Nelson Mandela is showing sustained improvement as he recovers from a recurring lung infection, media sources confirmed Monday that the former president of South Africa must believe the worlds reporters have nothing better to do with their time than stand around like fucking idiots waiting for him to die. Oh, so hes stabilized and is showing signs of improvement? Great, Ill just be right here with my thumb up my ass, BBC News world affairs correspondent Mike Wooldridge said of the ailing civil rights champion and anti-apartheid crusader, who apparently thinks journalists must have freed up their entire schedules to stand outside a hospital all day long. But really, Im glad hes feeling better, and I sure hope he doesnt think for a second about those of us who arent allowed to return home until he dies. Really, he should take his sweet time in there, and meanwhile Ill just keep rewriting this one obituary until hes good and ready. Fucking asshole. Wooldridge added that if Mandela does happen to pull through, the two months he spent waiting for him to die would have been a complete waste of time. 
1	During sexual intercourse Monday, Curtis Davie, 23, hoped that his attractive neighbor could hear the pleasured moans of his girlfriend through his apartment wall. 'Don't get me wrong, things are going great with Amy,' Davie said. 'But it certainly never hurts to have a hot chick next door who secretly knows you're a sexual dynamo.' To increase his chances of being heard, Davie is considering moving his bed to the wall between his apartment and the neighbor's, or at least closer to the shared air duct. 
1	Investigations are continuing into the recent downfall of Jack Castle, an ex-cop drawn into a web of intrigue and deceit by a frequently naked woman. Ex-cop Jack Castle, who became enmeshed in a deadly web of intrigue and deception by a mysterious woman (right) with a penchant for shower-taking and clothes-changing. Though police have yet to determine the exact cause of Castle's undoing, the frequent nudity of the 'mystery woman' is believed to have played a major role. Castle, who served on the Van Nuys Police Department for 27 years before quitting last year, had reportedly been driven over the edge by the devious schemes of the torso-baring woman. 'We don't have much info on this woman yet, but we do know that she lured Jack down a deadly path of lies and deception,' said Van Nuys police chief Lou Phillips, Castle's former best friend until he quit the force. 'We also know that she frequently needed to change, usually in a bathroom with a strategically placed mirror on an open door.' The case, which Van Nuys police officials have code-named 'Operation Brutal Instinct 2,' is regarded as the worst incident of erotic-thrilling in Van Nuys since March, when Officer Candi Jacobs went undercover as a stripper to catch a killer. Frequently naked woman The mysterious womanwho may be a reporter with an ulterior motive, a streetwise hooker on the run, a con artist out to make a bundle on insurance fraud, or a psychotic killer on a murder spreeis believed to have preyed on Castle's deepest fears of manhood-inadequacy in luring him to his doom. 'Castle was a tough cop onceone of the best,' Phillips said. 'But he never forgave himself for what happened to his beloved Victoria. And that left him deeply vulnerable to the type of woman who puts on her thong panties in front of open windows.' Phillips said Castle became embroiled in the oft-nude woman's manipulations because of his inability to come to terms with the tragic end of his relationship with Victoria Hope, who left him because of his neglect for her burning sexual needs. 'He was so wrapped up in his work, he was unable to give his woman the raw, unbridled passion she craved,' Phillips said. 'Starved for affection, she eventually fell into the arms of her cable installer.' 'That was the day she left Jack,' said Phillips, pensively running his fingers over his stubbled face. 'A short time later, she was found murdered with her own silk stockings. He quit the force the next day.' Experts say Castle's anguish over his failure as a lover and a cop is the reason he became so vulnerable he couldn't stop his descent into the woman's whirlwind of deception, betrayal, lust... and murder. Said forensic psychologist Dr. William Katt: 'The frequent, gratuitous nudity-behavior demonstrated by this mystery woman seems to have unleashed Jack Castle's inner demons to the point where he could no longer control his dark side, and he became trapped in a nightmare of graphic violence, adult situations, explicit language and strong sexual content.' Described by witnesses as a classic femme-fatale archetype preying on male fears of the vagina dentata, the frequently naked woman was last seen wearing stiletto heels, thick eyeliner, a red garter, pantyhose and lingerie and no bra. Her breasts were described as 'enormous.' Said noted criminal behaviorist Dr. Julian Sands, 'Jack Castle was a man who faced muggers, drug dealers and gun-toting gangs without batting an eye. But it was this sinister seductressarmed with two naked, heaving, surgically enhanced breasts, jutting forth in bold defiance of gravity, their pert, erect nipples thrusting forwardwho destroyed him in the end.' Though many of Castle's close friends were deeply shocked upon learning of his tragic story and its surprise twist endingwhich has been described as 'a real shocker that will leave you breathless'no one is more distraught than his estranged father, Lance Castle. 'I should have been there for my son,' the elder Castle said. 'Parental discretion should have been advised.' 
1	CAMBRIDGE, MAWhile attempting to isolate a gene believed to be key to the development of the autoimmune disorder myasthenia gravis Monday, MIT geneticists Dr. Stephen Burch and Dr. Caryn Song made a breakthrough discovery: each other. 'I was examining some cellular tissue when my electron microscope broke,' Burch said. 'Caryn offered to share her microscope, and each of us looked at the tissue through one of the eyepieces. At one point, our cheeks lightly touched, and I looked over and realized how beautiful she looks without her glasses. I always saw Caryn as a respected colleague. For the first time, I saw her as a woman.' A process of trial-and-error sexual experimentation commenced later that evening, continuing well into the night. 
1	Although the account managers inhibitions had disappeared completely after he consumed his third beer, sources at a house party attended by staff members of Stratway Media confirmed this evening that their colleague Jeremy Norton was nonetheless choosing to talk about work. I thought Terry made some interesting points this morning. Say what you will about his management style, but I think hes probably what our department needs, said Norton, who despite having imbibed enough alcohol to feel at ease discussing such personal and private matters as his romantic interests, political opinions, and even his recent decision to start jogging, elected to spend another 15 minutes analyzing the likelihood the sales department would meet its fourth-quarter goals. And Alyson has been great since she came over from Pinnacle. Shes really jelled with the rest of the team. At press time, a tipsy Norton had changed the subject from the television series that people were currently watching to an analysis of the companys conference room reservation policy. 
1	Citing a lack of name recognition, officials at the Department of Housing and Urban Development issued a brief, one-page report on mortgage trends Tuesday 'just to keep the agency fresh in people's minds.' 'In cabinet-level public service the name of the game is buzz; if you don't keep putting out these reports, you're toast,' HUD assistant secretary for policy and research Raphael Bostic said, adding that while data did show a spike in second mortgages among new retirees, the important thing was that people see the department's logo up top. 'These days, all you ever hear is 'Department of State' this or 'Department of Justice' thatwe've got to get some of that heat.' In order to get the agency's brand trending again, HUD has dispatched its street team to major cities in an effort to sign pedestrians up for its mailing list. 
3	The Value of Hard Assets During Hard TimesEarl Griffin, Contributor Do you even have a 401K or a job for that matter? Lots of people dont. I finally realized that mine was only growing because of the money I was putting into it. Then I realized that it was going to be taxed like a beast when I started drawing from it. Of course I have no control over that money because it is not in my own possession. Im not necessarily knocking 401Ks. But I do resent the fact that I have absolutely no control over the money I worked so hard for. Of course if it were in my possession Id have far greater control. Over time Ive come to see the value of hard assets. Things I can put my hands on and feel. Assets that are under my own personal control. What would you do if the economy came crashing down? Would you have anything to eat? Would you have a way to stay warm in the winter? What would be your breaking point? The Dow dropped 2% today. What if it had just kept dropping? What will it do tomorrow? Im not about to tell you to pull all your money out of the market. Only you can decide how to best invest what youve worked for. However if you are not already doing so, may I suggest that you invest some of that money into hard assets that you control? Food is going up everyday it seems. Money invested in storable food now may pay off big in the days ahead. Wheat, rice, beans, and canned goods purchased now will go up in value as prices continue to rise. Buy bulk foods now, store them, and eat them later when the prices are higher. Food shortages (also known as famine) may be a problem, even in the United States because of the ongoing drought. In America we love to go grocery shopping. What will you do as the price of food continues to rise? What will you do when the foods you love are no longer affordable or even available? Already the food supply for humans has to compete with feed stocks for animals. We also have to compete with the ethanol industry for corn. This causes the price of grains to rise. It also causes the price of meat to go up. Because of the drought ranchers have had to cull herds across the nation. Soon beef, pork, and chicken may be out of the reach of most of us. Start putting away a little food each time you buy groceries. But this isnt just about setting aside food. You need things, too. No room you say? Get real! Store it under the bed, under the stereo speakers, and under the bedside table. Look for storage everywhere and you will find it. Maybe you dont believe there will ever be an economic collapse I hope you are right. Do you believe in terrible storms, like Katrina or Sandy? Are you prepared for that kind of a disaster? When bad things happen people suffer. Will you be caught flat-footed? Do you think FEMA or the Red Cross are going to save you? They arent. When the hard times come you are on your own. Get prepared! Your family needs clean water. Store it in barrels or bottles and keep it out of the sunlight. When the grid goes down whether from economic collapse or a storm you need to have cash, and trade goods. Be mindful though, cash may or may not have value. Things people want and need, thats what you want to have on hand in a situation where your cash may or may not be as valuable as it is today. If the power is out how will you get cash? Keep some handy so you dont have to worry about it when its all over the fan. When times are hard people need things like matches, batteries, knives, toiletries, candles, and bottled water. Have a Bug-Out Bag containing these items, at the very least. But make sure you also have a Bug-IN List. When times are hard you will need things that you can touch. You will need hard assets that you can control. You will need resources for yourself and your family. You will need resources that you can use to trade, to help relieve suffering, and to get what you want. When times are hard you have to rely on yourself and the hard assets you have prepared during times of plenty. You dont want to be in the position of having to sell your soul for the things you need. You will also need to be able to protect yourself and what you have set aside. Cash is good as long as people still have faith in greenbacks. Credit cards may be entirely worthless if there isnt any electricity. Silver holds value incredibly well. Silver dimes, quarters, half dollars, and dollars minted before 1964 are 90% silver and are widely recognized as having value. Remember though, when it comes to silver if you dont hold it you dont really own it. Paper investments are all well and good when everything is fine and dandy, but in a grid-down scenario like an economic collapse or a hurricane like Katrina or Sandy, you will learn the undeniable value of hard assets.

3	Open Letter Of Aleppo Doctors Is Easily Torn Apart - Bottom Of The Barrel PropagandaBy Brandon Turbeville From scares related to chemical weapons (later demonstrated to be the work of NATOs terrorists), unproven and largely discredited claims that Assad is killing his own people or even that Assad is supporting ISIS has become the order of the day in American media. Recently, however, the State Department, office of origin of the Ghaddafi is handing out Viagra to rapists propaganda line, has issued yet another pathetic propaganda ploy against the Syrian government an alleged letter written by alleged doctors alleging that the Syrian military is encircling Aleppo in order to allegedly kill civilians. Are you sick of the word allegedly yet? Imagine how Syrians must feel. The only truth in the propaganda narrative of the West is that the Syrian military is encircling Aleppo. Beyond that, it has been demonstrated over and over again that Assads forces are not targeting innocent civilians. Neither have the doctors in question been confirmed as actually being doctors or even that the letter was written by whoever these individuals might turn out to be. In other words, the whole story of the letter is merely a . . . well, allegation. Still, the letter has been reported by the Guardian and a host of other Western mainstream media outlets as fact that conveniently tugs at the heartstrings. The letter is being referred to as the Open Letter Of Aleppo Doctors. In reality, the letter is a semi-carefully crafted act of pro-war propaganda which calls on the United States and the West to do something and includes accusations against the Russian and Syrian governments as well as claims of Assads (and Russias) alleged targeting of hospitals. The letter even has incubator babies for extra effect! The letter reads: Dear President Obama, We are 15 of the last doctors serving the remaining 300,000 citizens of eastern Aleppo. Regime troops have sought to surround and blockade the entire east of the city. Their losses have meant that a trickle of food has made its way into eastern Aleppo for the first time in weeks. Whether we live or die seems to be dependent on the ebbs and flows of the battlefield. Last month, there were 42 attacks on medical facilities in Syria, 15 of which were hospitals in which we work. Right now, there is an attack on a medical facility every 17 hours. At this rate, our medical services in Aleppo could be completely destroyed in a month, leaving 300,000 people to die. What pains us most, as doctors, is choosing who will live and who will die. Young children are sometimes brought into our emergency rooms so badly injured that we have to prioritize those with better chances, or simply dont have the equipment to help them. Two weeks ago, four newborn babies gasping for air suffocated to death after ablast cut the oxygen supply to their incubators. Gasping for air, their lives ended before they had really begun.Despite the horror, we choose to be here. We took a pledge to help those in need. Our dedication to this pledge is absolute. Some of us were visiting our families when we heard the city was being besieged. So we rushed back some on foot because the roads were too dangerous. Because without us even more of our friends and neighbors will die. We have a duty to remain and help. Continued US inaction to protect the civilians of Syria means that our plight is being wilfully tolerated by those in the international corridors of power. The burden of responsibility for the crimes of the Syrian government and its Russian ally must therefore be shared by those, including the United States, who allow them to continue. Unless a permanent lifeline to Aleppo is opened it will be only a matter of time until we are again surrounded by regime troops, hunger takes hold and hospitals supplies run completely dry.Death has seemed increasingly inescapable.We do not need to tell you that the systematictargeting of hospitals by Syrian regime and Russian warplanes is a war crime. We do not need to tell you that they are committing atrocities in Aleppo. We do not need tears or sympathy or even prayers, we need your action. Prove that you are the friend of Syrians. The letter was signed by the following names: Of course, the doctors are calling for war and, in this, there is no question. They want the U.S. to intervene directly in Syria and no doubt liberate Syria and spread the democracy that has left every other liberated country the burning heaps of rubble and savagery that they are today. They are calling for the forces of Bashar al-Assad to be defeated so that rebels, aka al-Qaeda, al-Nusra (excuse me, Jobhat Fatah al-Sham), Ahrar al-Sham, ISIS, etc. can take over take over the city and impose their pre-historic Sharia rule over civilized people, all with the requisite amount of rape, murder, torture, and pedophilia to go along with rebel liberation. Nice work, docs. But, perhaps I should sarcastically congratulate the State Department instead? After all, there is little evidence these doctors actually exist. Even the Guardian itself was quick to point out that It has not been possible to verify the names of all the doctors listed in the letter. Proving the names of the letter writers is no doubt a difficult task. After all, most of these doctors are pediatricians and, the Telegraph as well as a number of other mainstream outlets told us that the last pediatrician in Aleppo was killed on April 28 (by Assads forces of course rebel bullets are incapable of harming doctors even if they wanted to). Thus, they will truly be difficult to track down. Not only that, but the names of the doctors who signed on to the letter appear to also be names of well-known terrorists. One name is not even that of a person, but a well-known parlor in Aleppo. What significance this has remains to be seen but, needless to say, we must getting very close to the bottom of the barrel of propaganda narratives. As Ali Ornek writes for Moon Of Alabama: We are used to quite a lot of warmongering propaganda against Syria. The last hospital in Aleppo gets destroyed week after week after week, reports by Physicians For Human Rights on Syria turn out to be scams, videos and pictures of children rescued by the U.S./UK payed media group White Helmets are staged. . . . . . Our western and Gulf governments pay a lot of our taxpayer money for such anti-Syrian warmongering. The White Helmets alone receive $60 million. We should at least demand better fakes and more plausible lies for such large expenditures of our money. There are three options to consider after analyzing the latest FAIL! of the U.S. propaganda machine. Either the State Department is running out of money, Americans are so dumbed down that cheap narratives such as this one actually work, or the war machine is simply throwing everything against the wall in its march toward Syria and its Path To Persia.

Propaganda! here is an idea for the doctors promoting u.s. aggression (war) in Syria, they have thousands of ready to go men in Europe that are from Syria send them back to fight for their own freedom. bring our troops home which might even get them to stop hating us. tired of all these different factions trying to get the u.s. involved in their wars. then we have people like senator mc cain who helped start the war in Syria with oboma and Hillary. enough is enough. No doubt the good doctors received plenty of compensation from the HillBillary laundry machine. 
3	U.S. Air Force Drops Dummy Nukes in Nevada DessertBy Joseph Jankowski In collaboration with the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), the Air Force successfully tested twoB61 nuclear bombs. Neither carried a live warhead. An NNSA statementreads: The primary objective of flight testing is to obtain reliability, accuracy, and performance data under operationally representative conditions. Such testing is part of the qualification process of current alterations and life extension programs for weapon systems. NNSA scientists and engineers use data from these tests in computer simulations developed by Sandia National Laboratories to evaluate the weapon systems reliability and to verify that they are functioning as designed. The B61 is a critical element of the U.S. nuclear triad and the extended deterrent, Brig. Gen. Michael Lutton, NNSAs Principal Assistant Deputy Administrator for Military Application, said in the statement. The recent surveillance flight tests demonstrate NNSAs commitment to ensure all weapon systems are safe, secure, and effective. The mock thermonuclear bombs were droppedovera test range inNevada. Recently there has been a push by the U.S. Air Force to update the agingMinuteman II intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs) arsenal and develop a new nuclear cruise missile. Sputnik reports: In addition tocost concerns, a number ofCongressional lawmakers have fought toabandon the LRSO program onhumanitarian grounds, arguing that a new nuclear weapon puts world peace atrisk. Nuclear war poses the gravest risk toAmerican national security, ten Democratic Senators wrote ina letter. The news of the nuclear testing rings of concern as U.S. relations with Russia deteriorate over the conflict in Syria. Russia just completed a 40 million person emergency evacuation drill that rehearsedradiation, chemical and biological protection and the countrys media has sounded an alarm over potential nuclear war with the United States. Zvezda, a nationwide TV service run by Russias Ministry of Defence, said last week, Schizophrenics from America are sharpening nuclear weapons for Moscow. Just days ago,Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley warned that the United States was ready to destroy its enemies in comments that were clearly directed at Russia. Make no mistake about it, we can now and we will retain the capability to rapidly deploy, Milley said, and we will destroy any enemy anywhere, any time. The Russian military on Thursday cautioned the US-led coalition of carrying out airstrikes on Syrian army positions, mentioning thatnumerous S-300 and S-400 air defense systems are up and running in the country. Could the massive Russian evacuation drill be a direct response to the U.S. Air Force nuclear bomb testing? Joseph Jankowski is a contributor for Planet Free Will.com.

Fortunately, everyone made it out of the stadium OK. However, we cant let ISIS continue this rampage. They need to be stopped. Germany is stepping up its security, and is deciding whether to take action. ISIS is trying to stir up trouble and panic. We cant let them get the better of us. Should the world team up to eliminate ISIS before something else horrible happens? 
2	Congress Defies Obama With State Refugee Security Act, Allowing States To Deny Syrian Refugees Sen. Ted Cruz has just introduced the State Refugee Security Act of 2015 along with Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. With approval of Congress, this bill will allow governors to refuse Obamas Syrian Refugee program. Congress is heavily leaning towards this bill, given the recent circumstances. A total of 31 governors have announced that they will not abide by the refugee program. Many more will follow with this bill on the way. America is a charitable nation, but we cannot allow charity for some to compromise the safety for all, Abbott said. Cruz ended the press conference by siding with Trump on the Muslim issue. A lot of our friends here have encouraged me to criticize and attack Donald Trump, but I am not interested in doing so. He believes people should face their frustration away from Trump and toward radical Islamic terrorism. We agree wholeheartedly. Do you fully support this bill? 
2	See Obamas Rude Act While Out To Lunch In Texas Recently, when dining out in Texas, President Obama decided to cut in front of a line of people waiting for their food. Although he did end up paying for lunch while he was there, to some the act represents Obamas continued entitlement to ignore laws or customs and simply do whatever he wants to do. The restaurant, called Franklin Barbecue, is notorious for its lines, with customers sometimes waiting up to five hours to get food. Although the business is only 10 years old, it has been deemed the nations best barbecue. And everybody but Obama seems to understand the justification of the wait. Obama went to the Barbecue joint after giving a speech in Texas, and was ushered to the front of the line. He allegedly made up for his actions by paying for two customers behind him, but we wonder how the rest of the restaurant felt. 
3	Oklahoma House Votes to Legalize Gold and Silver as Moneyselfnews Post Senate Bill 862 (SB862), was introduced by Sen. Clark Jolley and Rep. Gary Banz, with cosponsorship from Sen. Natham Dahm. It reads, in part: The bill also provides a state-level tax exemption to Oklahoma residents exchanging their precious metals for another medium of exchange: Oklahoma is now slated to become the second state to recognize gold and silver as legal tender authorized for payments of debts and taxes. Earlier this year, the Arizona senate also passed a similar bill by a vote of 18-12. But that bill has stalled in the state house. The United States Constitution states in Article I, Section 10, No State shallmake any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts. The Oklahoma legislation is an important step towards that constitutional requirement which has been ignored for a long time in every state of the country. Such a tactic would achieve the desired goal of abolishing the Federal Reserve system by attacking it from the bottom up pulling the rug out from under it by working to make its functions irrelevant at the State and local level. Passage of this legislation would introduce currency competition with Federal Reserve Notes. Professor William Greene explains further: Over time, as residents of the State use both Federal Reserve Notes and silver and gold coins, the fact that the coins hold their value more than Federal Reserve Notes do will lead to a reverse Greshams Law effect, where good money (gold and silver coins) will drive out bad money (Federal Reserve Notes). As this happens, a cascade of events can begin to occur, including the flow of real wealth toward the States treasury, an influx of banking business from outside of the State as people in other States carry out their desire to bank with sound money and an eventual outcry against the use of Federal Reserve Notes for any transactions. Once things get to that point, Federal Reserve notes would become largely unwanted and irrelevant for ordinary people. Nullifying the Fed on a state by state level is what will get us there. Without a single act of Congress, the Federal Reserve system can be brought to its knees by passing such bills in states all over the country. Although the bill passed through the senate by a 37-4 margin, it will have to clear the senate once again because the house amended the bill. Once it is given final approval, SB862 will head to Gov. Fallins desk for a signature. ACTION ITEMS Visit the TenthAmendmentCenter.com where this report first appeared. 
3	Will a Robot Take Your Job? This Calculator Estimates the OddsBy Lily Dane Two areas of technology have experienced incredible growth in recent years: robotics and artificial intelligence. No longer the stuff of science fiction, both have tremendous capacity to help humanity and to harm it. Earlier today, Truthstream Media reported that theBilderberg Groupssteering committee has invited more and more entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley as well as tech heads leading changes on the Internet, in cybersecurity and the vast changes happening in technology. Artificial intelligence was a key topic at Bilderbergs meeting last week. With great power comes great responsibility, and the world of technology should not be an exception. But it is. Killer robots are being developed by the government. As early as next year, we may see robot cops patrolling our streets. And, security robots have become an area of special interest for the robotics industry. Even technology geniusElon Muskis concerned about artificial intelligence and said he is worried that Googles intensified research into robotics could produce something evil by accident. Earlier this year, Musk, Stephen Hawking, andover 150 other artificial intelligence experts,including academics from Cambridge, Oxford, Stanford, Harvard, and MIT, signed an open letter calling for research on the societal impacts of AI. Musk and Hawking have both been vocal about theirconcerns thatsuperhuman artificial intelligence could end the human race if deployed without serious caution. **** While a takeover bynefarious robotic overlords may happen someday, there is a more imminent concern we all should be aware of and planning for: the very real possibility of machines taking our jobs. You might think that losing your job to a machine isnt that likely. After all, people will be needed to build and program these robots (thus providing adequate employment for programmers and engineers), right? Sadly, this may not be the case, because robots of the (near) future may not even NEED human input at all. A new robot developed at UC Berkeley is an example of this developing technology. NamedBRETT (Berkeley Robot for the Elimination of Tedious Tasks), the robot is not completely independent, but it does learn through trial and error, much like humans do. Lest you believe this is not anything to be concerned about, consider that most robots need programmed instructions for every little task. Not so with BRETT. If youd like to see him in action, you can watch a video here. Of course, certain professions are far more susceptible to computerization. NPR created a calculator based ona study by the University of Oxford that explored how vulnerable certain jobs are to robotic takeover. According to the Daily Mail, the researchers examined 702 jobs, picking out skills essential to roles such as creativity and dexterity, to work out whether robots could replace humans. Accountants, insurance underwriters, telemarketers, legal assistants, and models are the most likely to be replaced by robots, according to the study. Jobs that require personal interaction, negotiation, and creativity are believed to be less at risk, but time will tell. Robotic nurses already exist, and although restaurant servers interact with their customers on a high level, they are already being replaced with robots. From NPR: What job is hardest for a robot to do? Mental health and substance abuse social workers (found under community and social services). This job has a 0.3 percent chance of being automated. Thats because its ranked high in cleverness, negotiation, and helping others. The job most likely to be done by a robot? Telemarketers. No surprise; its already happening. Michael Osborne, one of the Oxford researchers, said, I think we can almost guarantee that technology will continue to progress and will ultimately render almost all the jobs that humans do today automatable. If you would like to see if your occupation is at risk, you can access the calculator here: Will Your Job Be Done By A Machine? It might be time for career reassessment and additional education for those who are most at risk of robotic replacement. While the researchers who created the calculator admit their estimates are rough and could be faulty, it would be wise to plan accordingly just in case.

2	Marine FINALLY Stands Up To Michelle Obama, What He Did Restored My Faith In America Michelle Obama has been at the heart of a lot controversy. She has used race as an excuse for unfairness. No Michelle Obama. A Marine recently wrote a scathing letter to the first lady. His letter is long and well thought out. He points out holes in Michelles logic and ideals. He shuts down any thought about race. This marine is a true hero on and off the battlefield. He is an activist who knows what he is fighting for and who he is fighting. He is not fighting for the first lady, he is fighting for America and its well being. He makes this very clear in his letter. You both live better than 99% of the people in this world because of this country. You said that you are for the first time proud to be an American. Well, I will tell you that most of us are ashamed of you. You and your husband have become millionaires off the people of this country, but demonstrate very little appreciation for all that we give. White, black, brown or indifferent millions have fought and died for you to have the freedom to say the ignorant things you say. This marine really put things into perspective. I am not sure how much the president makes, but he does live better than most people. He does bring up the good point that race does not matter. The marine goes on to say that he loves all colors; he says that God put every color in everyones skin because god loves all. The marine says that Michelles use of race is unbelievable and out of place. She needs to stop using it as an excuse. He said that he is ashamed that she was the first of color first lady. She will be forgotten the moment she steps out of the White House. She has not done anything special nor has her husband. This presidency cannot end fast enough. This marine has spoken for all of America when he says that hate shall come and go but His love shall last forever. This is the truest thin Ive heard all day and it makes me proud to hear a marine say it. Do you support this marine?

3	Newly Discovered Eighth Grade Exam From 1912 Shows How Dumbed Down America Has BecomeMichael Snyder Unfortunately, that film is a very accurate metaphor for what has happened to American society today. We have become so dumbed down that we dont even realize what has happened to us. But once in a while something comes along that reminds us of how far we have fallen. In Kentucky, an eighth grade exam from 1912 was recently donated to the Bullitt County History Museum. When I read this exam over, I was shocked at how difficult it was. Could most eighth grade students pass such an exam today? Of course not. In fact, I dont even think that I could pass it. Sadly, this is even more evidence of the deliberate dumbing down of America that former Department of Education official Charlotte Iserbyt is constantly warning us about. The American people are not nearly as mentally sharp as they once were, and with each passing generation it gets even worse. Just check out some of the questions from the eighth grade exam that was discovered. Do you think that you could correctly answer these? -Through which waters would a vessel pass in going from England through the Suez Canal to Manila? -How does the liver compare in size with other glands in the human body? -How long of a rope is required to reach from the top of a building 40 feet high to the ground 30 feet from the base of a building? -During which wars were the following battles fought: Brandywine, Great Meadows, Lundys Lane, Antietam, Buena Vista? A copy of the exam is posted below. Today, it would be a real challenge for many college students to correctly answer most of these questions correctly One of the areas that Americans are horribly deficient in today is geography. If you give them a blank world map, most Americans can only identify a very limited number of countries. In fact, according to a survey that was conducted by the National Geographic Society several years ago, only 37 percent of all Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 could find the nation of Iraq on a map of the world even though the United States was actively fighting a war there at the time. Our young people are also horribly deficient when it comes to math and science. At this point, 15-year-olds in the United States do not even rank in the top half of all industrialized nationswhen it comes tomath and science literacy. How do we expect to thrive as a nation with these kinds of results? In a previous article entitled Dumb As A Rock: You Will Be Absolutely Amazed At The Things That U.S. High School Students Do Not Know, I discussed some more survey results that show how dumb our high school students have become *Only 43 percent of all U.S. high school students knew that the Civil War was fought some time between 1850 and 1900. *More than a quarter of all U.S. high school students thought that Christopher Columbus made his famous voyage across the Atlantic Ocean after the year 1750. *Approximately a third of all U.S. high school students did not know that the Bill of Rights guarantees freedom of speech and freedom of religion. *Only 60 percent of all U.S. students knew that World War I was fought some time between 1900 and 1950. Even more shocking were the results of a survey of Oklahoma high school students conducted back in 2009. The following is a list of the questions that were asked and the percentage of students that answered correctly. What is the supreme law of the land? 28 percent What do we call the first ten amendments to the Constitution? 26 percent What are the two parts of the U.S. Congress? 27 percent How many justices are there on the Supreme Court? 10 percent Who wrote the Declaration of Independence? 14 percent What ocean is on the east coast of the United States? 61 percent What are the two major political parties in the United States? 43 percent We elect a U.S. senator for how many years? 11 percent Who was the first President of the United States? 23 percent Who is in charge of the executive branch? 29 percent So why is this happening? Well, for one thing, our system of public education is a complete and total joke. We have millions of kids graduating from high school that can barely read, that have almost no ability to speak in public, that cannot write a decent essay and that cannot balance a checkbook. It also doesnt help that Americans (especially young Americans) are absolutely addicted to entertainment. Americans spend an average of 153 hours watching television each month, and when we arent watching television we are watching movies, playing video games, surfing the Internet, etc. When is the last time that you saw a young person actually reading a book that was not required for school? Yes, it does happen once in a while, but it is so rare that it is kind of startling when you spot it happening. But it is not just our young people that have been dumbed down. Even our presidents have been dumbed down. If you doubt this, just check out this amazing graphic which shows how the reading level of State of the Union addresses has steadily declined since the beginning of our nation. Personally, I have an awareness that I should be able to think much more clearly than I am able to right now. I can feel the effect that our society has had on my own mental abilities, and it frustrates me. A lot has been written about the decline of our health here in America, but very little gets written about our mental decline. That is a shame, because our ability to think clearly and rationally is so very critical to our future. So what do you think about all of this? Do you agree that America has been dumbed down?

3	Three Spooky Ways Youre Being Spied on This HalloweenNadia Kayyali Sometimes our work sounds like science fiction, but the surveillance techniques and technology we fight are all too real. Here are some of the beasts hiding in your backyard that weve been fighting to expose: 1. Automated License Plate Readers Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are cameras that can either be mounted on squad cars or stationary. They read license plates and record the time, date, and location a particular car was encountered. And theyre paving the way for wholesale tracking of every drivers movements. ALPRs can scan up to 1,800 license plates per minute, and can collect data on vast numbers of vehicles. In Los Angeles, for example, the Los Angeles Police Department and Sheriffs Department collect data on 3 million cars per week. Much like metadata about phone calls, the information obtained from ALPRs reveals sensitive personal information. In fact, the International Association of Chiefs of Police issued a report in 2009 recognizing that recording driving habits could raise First Amendment concerns, because cameras could record vehicles parked at addiction-counseling meetings, doctors offices, health clinics, or even staging areas for political protests. Because of this potential for serious invasions of privacy, EFF and ACLU teamed up to ask the city and county of Los Angeles for a weeks worth of ALPR data. The lower court sided with the government after it denied our request, but were appealing the ruling. 2. Fusion Centers Fusion centers are information clearinghouses that enable unprecedented levels of bi-directional information sharing between state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies and federal agencies like the FBI and Department of Homeland Security. Bi-directional means that local law enforcement can share information with these agencies while also accessing federal information, through portals like the FBIs eGuardian database. Fusion centers are a serious threat to privacy. They magnify the impact of excessive spying by making sure that it gets shared through a vast network of agencies, with almost no oversight. And oversight is clearly needed. Fusion centers coordinate the National Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative (NSI), an effort to implement suspicious activity reporting (SAR) nationwide. SAR are intelligence reports that, according to the government, document behavior reasonably indicative of pre-operational planning related to terrorism or other criminal activity. And while they do lead to law enforcement contact with innocent people, they do not meet legally cognizable standards for search or seizure under the Fourth amendment. Instead, they lead to racial and religious profiling and political repression. Public records act requests have shown that people of color often end up being the target of SARs. And thats not the only way fusion centers threaten privacy and civil liberties. Public records requests have also shown that fusion centers are used to record and share information about First Amendment protected activities in a way that aids repressive police activity and chills freedom of association. Thats why when the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) announced that it was considering looking at the standards for SAR we submitted a comment. We urged PCLOB to review not only SAR standards, but to conduct a thorough assessment of fusion centers in general. We believe that such a review will show what every other review by the government has shown: that fusion centers produce predominantly useless information, a bunch of crap, while running afoul of departmental guidelines meant to guard against civil liberties and are possibly in violation of the Privacy Act. 3. Stingrays Last but not least, were keeping an eye on the spreading use of Stingrays.1 These are devices that are used by law enforcement to electronically search for a particular cell phones signal by capturing the International Mobile Subscriber Identity of potentially thousands of people in a particular area. Small enough to fit in a van, they masquerade as a cell phone tower, and trick your phone into connecting with them every 7-15 seconds. As a result, the government can surreptitiously figure out who, when and to where you are calling, the precise location of every device within the range, and with some devices, even capture the content of your conversations. Part of whats so concerning about Stingrays is that we know very little about how they are being used. In the first case to consider the constitutional implications of stingrays, U.S. v. Rigmaiden (in which we filed an amicus brief along with the ACLU) the court denied a motion to throw out evidence obtained using a Stingray. In our brief, we pointed out that the application for a warrant neither made it clear that law enforcement would be using a Stingray nor explained how the device worked. Its that lack of explanation that we find so concerning. But what we do know about Stingrays is chilling. They capture data from anybody who happens to be in an area where one is being used, regardless of whether they are suspected of a crime. And some models can even capture contents of communications. The constitutionality of Stingrays is almost certain to be challenged again, especially after the Supreme Courts decision requiring a warrant to search arrestees cellphones in Riley v. California. Well continue to keep an eye out for any cases addressing this technology. In the meantime, were doing public records act requests to police departments to learn more about who is using these devices, and how. We think this technology is scarier than any costume youll see on the streets this week. But dont worrywere here to turn the lights on.

2	Welfare Leech With 12 Kids Collects More In Benefits Than You Make In Entire Year When people talk about abuse of the welfare system, this is what they are talking about. According to reports, a petition has just been introduced to take benefits away from a mother of 12, after she revealed her plans to undergo breast enhancement surgery. Cheryl Prudham of Skelmersdale, Britain reportedly receives more than $52,000 each year in benefits from the government. She recently appeared on ITVs This Morning show, where she revealed she was having breast enhancement surgery and on was on the hunt for a sperm donor for her 13th baby. Now, Siobhan Titzell has introduced a petition demanding that Prime Minister David Cameron Sanction Cheryl Prudhams Benefits. It has garnered more than 13,400 signatures in just four weeks. Last I checked, benefits are there to support those in need, not for plastic surgery procedures! the petitions description reads. What worries me is this woman gets overall [$52,000] from the state and has been on more holidays than I have the past few years and has been parading around in designer goods I can only dream of. However, just think what that [$52,000] could achieve elsewhere. That [$52,000] could be put back in the system and be put towards a breakthrough cancer drug to [be] made available on the NHS, in fact it could be used for the NHS is general as it is currently in crisis, or it could simply go to others who are in need of benefits and are simply unfit to work through no fault of their own. The petition also tackles the fact that Prudham revealed that she purposely works only part time so that she can avoid the $34,000 benefits cap. This woman works under 16 hours so that she avoids the benefits cap so she is clearly fit to work [while] others are not so fortunate. I am all for the benefit system as it helps people in so many ways but when it is being used for cosmetic surgery and not being [put] towards your children to feed them and clothe them I see this as abuse when there are people in serious need. Children should not be used as weapons for selfish gain. Despite outrage, Prudham is not apologizing for her actions, If thats what they are giving me, I am going to take it. So if I can have another child and the government is allowing me to do that, I am going to do that. What do you think? Is this completely outrageous abuse of the system? 
3	Federal Spending Bill Appropriates Tax Payer Dollars to Be Used to Spread Pro-GMO PropagandaBy Justin Gardner A paragraph tucked into a new spending bill would give the green light for a government propaganda campaign on behalf of GMO giants. $3,000,000 shall be used by the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, in coordination with the Secretary of Agriculture, for consumer outreach to promote understanding and acceptance of agricultural biotechnology and biotechnology-derived food products and animal feed, including through publication and distribution of science-based educational information on the environmental, nutritional, food safety, economic, and humanitarian benefits of such biotechnology, food products, and feed. Regardless of your stance on genetically modified foods, government has no place using taxpayer dollars to convince the public that everything about GMOs is perfectly safe. Monsanto spends millions to get lawmakers in its pocket, and the results are obvious here. The biotech industry has managed to put its own into high-level government positions, such as Obamas choice of a former Monsanto vice president to run the FDA. The assumption in the spending bill that GMOs provide environmental, nutritional, food safety, economic, and humanitarian benefits is not supported by the facts. The widespread use of genetically modified RoundUp Ready crops has led to a vast increase in the use of glyphosate (the active ingredient in RoundUp) and other herbicides, contrary to industry claims that GMOs would reduce chemical use. These herbicides are a threat to the environment, such as milkweed plants that sustain monarch butterflies. The practice of GMO monoculture with heavy herbicide and chemical applications is antithetical to environmental health, as it creates a biological desert. The soil is dead, there are no beneficial organisms and there is no thriving microbial community to support plant health. It kills biodiversity, thus reducing environmental quality. Glyphosate is also a threat to human health. It is a probable carcinogen, according to the World Health Organization, and will be labeled as such in California. While the FDA announced it will begin testing foods for glyphosate, studies are already finding this herbicide to be present in many foodseven organic ones. More than 2.6 billion pounds of glyphosate have been sprayed on U.S. agricultural lands since 1992. Last year a former GMO scientist revealed how the biotech industry uses junk science to produce misleading risk assessments, which are used by regulators to allow GMO foods on the market. They use purposely flawed, outdated procedures to get the desired results. The humanitarian benefits of GMOs mentioned in the spending bill likely refer to the idea that GMO crops produce more food. This too is false. The U.S. government is no stranger to acting as alobbyist for the biotech industry. In 2013, leaked diplomatic cables revealed that the State Department was busily working to propagandize other countries. TheWikiLeaks revelations showed that American diplomats had requested funding to send lobbyists for the biotech industry to hold talks with politicians and agricultural officials in target countries in areas like Africa and Latin America, where genetically-modified crops were not yet a mainstay, as well as some European countries that have resisted the controversial agricultural practice. The biotech industry may have lost its bid to have federal government ban the labeling of GMO foods, but it seeks to use the power of the state in other ways. By exposing the corrupt partnership between federal agencies and corporate titans, we can work to prevent the kind of propaganda campaign that is proposed in the spending bill. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. This nonsense can be shut down in November. Remove the lunatics from office who vote in favor of this crap. Unfortunately, my representatives are part of this GMO agenda so I cant use them to squash it and probably wont get wiser independent individuals to vote for that have the ability to put this incredibly malevolent agenda down. Pure EVIL Public interest attorney, Steven Druker, who sued FDA long time ago regarding GMOs, wrote a book:Altered Genes, Twisted Truth: How the Venture to Genetically Engineer Our Food Has Subverted Science, Corrupted Government, and Systematically Deceived the Public, which gives detailed facts about GMO legality. Dr. Anthony Samsel and Stephanie Seneff published an article in JBPC 2015, vol. 15, p.121-159, with the title: Glyphosate, pathways to modern diseases IV: cancer and related pathologies, which is of founding importance, since under FOIA it reveals, that Monsanto knew about carcinogenicity of its no1 herbicide, glyphosate since ~80ies! That implies, that design of all GMO plants, complete artificial patented organisms, consisting of mixture of genes from original plants, pathogenic bacteria and viruses, organisms which were made to be resistant to glyphosate (80% of all GMOs) and introduced on massive scale starting ~1996, all that happened, while knowing that glyphosate, a carcinogen, will be possibly bound in every single modified cell of these new patented seeds=plants, designed to become our food. Just recently Dr. Samsel shared few sentences in an AHN article, which described measurement results of glyphosate in most common foods. The results are a catastrophe. Why? According to Dr. Samsel, quote: Glyphosate is a synthetic amino acid and analog of glycine which is one Disgusting. Its part of a luciferian eugenics agenda. All the life-destroying tactics only make sense when you find that luciferians run this country and the planet or at least WANT to and are TRYING to. Apparently they are required to have our approval for their nefarious ways, so I say things like, NO ONE has my permission to harm me in any way and variations on that theme. You may have given permission unknowingly simply by not opposing their agenda so withdraw that permission consciously now. Tell others as well. NO ONE has my permission to harm me or anyone else or this planet in any way. Setting the record straight (I am neither a Satanist NOR a Luciferian!): http://gnosticwarrior.com/lucifer-satan.html Nothing in the Bible suggests Lucifer and Satan are the same being. Nonsense. Learn to read the Bible rightly. Scholarly research is nonsense. Pyra Dont conflate topics. Stick to the creature feature you are trying to narrate. OK Pyra. Prove your point using a logical tautology. True, William. From what I understand from people Ive met, they are distinct from one another. They are not synonyms to be used interchangeably. In fact, two people who were raised by Luciferians scolded and lectured me on the differences, which it took me a while to grok, until one of them explained the astrology behind them. Lucifer as the morning star is connected to Venus, which is the planet visible when the sun rises. Venus rules love, art, beauty and wealth. Satan, on the other hand, is connected to the planet Saturn which rules everything dark and cold, hard and empty all the press words such as oppress, compress, suppress, depress, and so on. These people explained to me that those who pledge allegiance to Lucifer are upper class naughty people, while Satanists are the more garden variety naughty people. They say that the very wealthy Luciferians think of Satanists as their lackeys. Luciferians are very well organized and globally connected. Satanists are local groups that might be manipulated by Luciferians but they are not behind the NWO (New World Order); they are minions of the Luciferians. At any rate, that is how it was explained to me. I do believe that Luciferians are often also Satanists. Yes, Silence is Consent. Consent is their Greatest Victory. (Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars) They will waste and spend as much as they want, but keep in mind, in about 9 months things are going to change. Praise God! We will have someone in there that really cares about this Country and its people! Who are you talking about? This someone? One of our presidential candidates? (I wouldnt hold my breath) Id love to hear more from the Amishtheyve (youve?) got the right program for humans as far as I am concerned. Too bad it has to be around religion but for once religion is doing a good thing. Wish the Amish life could be promoted without religion, seriously. Onetree, Call them out in the newspaper and here on the internet show people who they are. So that your helping to defeat them in any of the elections. This is how defeat them by exposing them to others Im doing the same thing in NM with my sen. and my congressman. We have a great Govenor and the rest is not helping this state at all So youve been able to get media to actually talk about this? For real? Kudos. Ive been trying and I have been labeled as a conspiracy theorist even though I am a botanical expert, soilshow did you manage to get an article in the newspaper? Your local paper and all over the internet. I just try on what ever site Im on. I think there are people checking the sites to to see how the reaction to people are being received. And I just keep putting my 2 sense in and just hope it gets through to people that it is now or never. We are in a very bad shape and its going to take all of us to pull ourselves up by the boot straps and move forward. If it is all of us it will be less painful. Yup. We are so antagonistic to our own country menwith whatever issue we what to whine about. Incredible. I am seeing a nightmare happening for our TEAM. If we dont get together we are so very screwed. Definitely painful. Proving, yet again, the DeCeipt crowd are the puppets driven by the NWO gold collar scum crowd. better yet, GROW YOUR OWN. Dont look for Obama to veto or even say anything negative about this spending. Hes just another empty suit. Shillary will be more of the same. As we all know, money is the great motivator of government. Things that are good for the people do not need lobbyists and corrupt dealings because they are readily accepted. Only bad things need corruption to make them happen. It is too bad that the entire political system is corrupt and only liars cheats and thieves can get elected to office, but knowing the type of people that are the politicians we must not allow them to use their greed to harm us with GMO and other programs of health and safety. Normally, Im for technology and science, but where the government is concerned, we must be hyper vigilant. I wonder how much people realize the difference between a government promoting the idea of

Republican supporters say that they want to know there money is going towards people who are eating health food and staying drug-feetwo things that supporters say will make them more employable. Because the federal government funds food stamp benefits, the limitations posed under the bill would require a federal waiver that no other state has ever proposed. Democrats are trying to argue against this bill because it will cost money to install software at the grocery stores. The bill passed a 60-33 vote, with all Democrats voting against it and all Republicanssave for twoin favor of the measure. Do you agree with this bill? Should all 50 states put it into practice? 
2	BREAKING: Sarah Palin Makes Massive Announcement About Donald Trump, Liberals Are Quivering Although rumors of Sarah Palin running for president have faded, she certainly isnt shying away from the limelight. Palin has just announced that she would like to serve as Secretary of Energy in a Trump administration, where she would work to close the energy department down. Energy is my baby, Palin said in an interview, citing her experience as governor of oil and mineral rich Alaska. If I were head of that, I would get rid of it and I would let the states start having more control over the lands that are within their boundaries, and the people who are affected by the developments within their states, Palin continued. It would be a short-term job butit would be really great to have someone who knows energy and is pro-responsible development to be in charge. The position isnt out of the question, given that Trump has made comments about having Palin in his administration. During her interview, Palin also criticized the Obama administration for changing the name of Americas highest peak from Mt. McKinley to Denali. What do you think? Do you support Palin? 
2	Geraldo Pays BIG For Trying To Smear Donald, He Is A Total Fool Geraldo Rivera recently took his idiocy to a whole new level. The controversial reporter shocked fans recently when he claimed to have embarrassing tapes of Donald Trump. I have interviewed Donald Trump many times and been with him many times, and I have tapes, Rivera claimed. My brother and I have been starting to go through the tapes now and there are statements that, in the context of the current climate, would be embarrassing. Of course, Rivera is yet to reveal anything. Instead, he has offered only an apology for his comments. Contrary to my on-air remarksa search of my files found No Revelant #TrumpTapes, Rivera tweeted. There is 1 re: ugle feud w/ Rosie ODonnell, an old story. I apologize to @realDonaldTrump for piling on adding fuel to #TrumpTapes scandal, he continued. You always treated me and mine w respect friendship. What do you think of Riveras response? Should he be taken off the air before he causes even more damage? 
2	Sarah Palin Has Had Enough... SHREDS Obama Publicly, F*CK HIM President Barack Obama has had it out for Sarah Palin ever since she called him out for making empty promises back in 2008. During a recent appearance at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Gala, Obama tried to target her once more. I said that we could create opportunity not just for those at the very top, but for everybody whos willing to work hard, Obama began. So that they could afford healthcare and college and retirement and give their kids a better life. What Sarah Palin called that hopey changey stuff,he continued. Well tonight, Im back here as president to say thank you. Thank you for your support. Thank you for your friendship. Thank you for your tireless efforts to deliver on that promise. I came here as a candidate for this office. And I had no gray hair.

1	Growing up, I would always grab my stepfather's newspaper off the front stoop and run as fast as I could up to my room, lock the door behind me, turn right to the comics section and reacquaint myself with Peanuts friends. Every day I would laugh and laugh at those three panels. Most of the time I didn't understand what was going on, but I figured hey, it's in the comics section: it HAS to be funny! Peanuts was created, of course, by the immortal Charles Schulz. I use the term 'immortal' metaphorically, as Mr. Schulz's body betrayed him completely with the old stroke/colon cancer one-two punch. He decided to retire, and the night before his very last strip ran, after 50 years of non-stop Peanuts, Mr. Schulz died in his sleep. Within a span of a few hours, his career and his life were over. As I write those words, I can't help but think of Brett Favre possibly dying soon. Favre didn't retire from football so much as it was yanked, pulled, ripped and beaten out of his gnarled, weathered hands. For 20 years, football was his sole purpose for getting out of bed and the last thing he thought of before he went to sleep (aside from, perhaps, accosting female team employees and fetishizing his father). Now that that is all over for him, will his frail body finally give out in his sleep? Will he be like that cartoonist, going through the motions in the twilight chapter of his career, throwing flapping interceptions in much the same way that Schulz would release rambling brain-addled cartoons before finally succumbing to his new-found pointlessness? Let me leave you with this image. Brett Favre waits for the snap downfield. The ball is hiked to Lucy van Pelt. Favre strides toward the ball, ready to kick it through the uprights. At the last instant, Lucy yanks the football away. Favre flies backwards, landing flat on his back in a shallow unmarked grave. Then Linus covers Favre with a shovelful of dirt. Now imagine that that football was not a football, but Brett Favre's own life energy being ripped from his waiting foot. In addition to also representing a football. I hope he does not die though! That would be very sad. 
3	Non-GMO Cheerios Oats Still Sprayed With Roundup, Supplier AnnouncesBy Sayer Ji Why must oats be sprayed? Known as pre-harvest desiccation, glyphosate is sprayed on oat crops right before their harvest, ostensibly to increase product uniformity and yield, and to save time in harvesting. A report onWashingtonsblog.comexplains how Monsanto funded research, which is notoriously biased, is behind this practice: Assuming pre-harvest desiccation actually works as Monsanto claims, it should result in lower drying costs, an earlier harvest, and ultimately higher profit. But what is not figured in is the cost to the consumer who is already faced with widespread exposure to a chemical that has already been found in most the water, air, rainsamples tested and which may retain serious toxicity at concentrations in as low as parts-per-trillion range? Most people today consider Roundup herbicide exposure to be a problem linked solely to GMO foods, and not oats. This misconception has been a convenient fact for the non-GMO sector of Big Agra, which continues to use a wide range of highly toxic agrochemicals in food and feed crops that can still legally be described and/or labeled asnon-GMO. But the industry is beginning to be forced to respond to both a powerful shift in consumer awareness and demand in favor of organically produced, non-GMO oat products, as well as to a WHO report released last March that identified glyphosate to be a probable carcinogen. When General Mills announced Cheerios would go non-GMO, the decision was received with some skepticism by those who quickly pointed out the fact thatGMO oats dont exist and Cheerios, for the most part, was already a non-GMO product. One writer for Modern Farmer addressed the deceptive tactic: While General Mills decision to switch Cheerios to non-GMOsugarcane sugar could be considered a positive step forward, it effectively distracts from the fact that General Mills oat products are contaminated with glyphosate due to the use of raw material that underwent post-harvest desiccation. How do we know this? Because North Americas largest oat supplier, known to supply General Mills, Kraft, Kellogg, On Agra Foods, and others, just announced it will continue to buy oats that are sprayed with glyphosate. Richardson Milling Supports Roundup Contaminated Oats; Grain Millers Phases Them Out In a disturbing announcement, the Canada-based oat supplier Richardson Milling North Americas largest supplier of oats says glyphosate dessication is acceptable for its oats and that it has no intention of changing its policies. This decision flies in the face of an accumulating body of scientific evidence that shows glyphosate has a wide range of harmful properties, including possible carcinogenicity, which is now supported by the World Health Organizations own assessment. We can only assume that downstream manufacturers such as General Millers are in tacit agreement with their suppliers decision, despite their public bragging about taking some of their cherished cereal brands GMO free. Other oat suppliers, such as Grain Millers, are taking a more precautionary step. Grain Millers, based in Minnessota, announced two months ago that they will no longer buy oats if the crop has been treated with glyphosate pre-harvest. Notably, they reported quality problems in glyphosate treated oats, such as reduced beta glucan content. Beta glucan is a soluble fiber which has been linked to a wide range of health benefits, such as improved blood lipid profiles, cardiovascular protection, and strengthening the immune system. In fact, the reason why food manufacturers are able to place a Healthy Heart claim on oat-based products is due to the beta glucan content. A spokesperson for Grain Millers, Terry Tyson, was reported as stating that glyphosate interrupts the oat plants natural maturation process, which may decrease beta glucan content. Tyson was quoted on Producer.com stating: Clearly the issue with glyphosate extends beyond it simply reducing the levels of a beneficial plant compound. Glyphosate, even at exceedingly small concentration, poses a serious health risk. Because there is widespread focus on GMO labeling andnot Roundup contamination labeling it is possible that people are being gene-washed into buying non-GMO labeled products that still contain physiologically significant levels of Roundup herbicide. The concern about glyphosate contamination of oats is highly instructive as we move towards mass acceptance of non-GMO labeling and/or certification initiatives which do not account for the widespread use of glyphosate in non-genetically modified products. Even USDA certified organic brands, such as Organic Valley and Horizon Organic Dairy, regularly use veterinary vaccines that contain genetically modified ingredients; an unethical practice we have termed Organic-Washing. And so, because glyphosate is being used as an EPA approved, pre-harvest desiccant, it is more likely to fly under the radar and not be identified as a highly toxic pesticide contaminant, which it is. Nor do these certifications address other important food quality issues such as the presence of other pesticides in ostensibly non-GMO products or the common non-labeled use of irradiated ingredients. I would urge consumers and health advocates to consider whether the term non-GMO is as relevant as it would first appear. For instance, labeling water Gluten Free is factually true, but a highly disingenuous form of consumer manipulation. Consumers dont just want to know their food does not contain transgenes from other species and their associated novel proteins. They want to know that their food is not contaminated with agrochemicals commonly used in GM agriculture. And right now the non-GMO labeled products on the market are not doing an effective job at providing assurance of that. Please follow the global Non-GMOCoalitionand the Organic Consumers Association to learn more about how we can empower ourselves further on these issues. This article first appeared at GreenMedInfo. Please visit to access their vast database of articles and the latest information in natural health. Dont play with your food I was told I must stop, I read somewhere that glyphosate (Round Up) is sprayed on many vegetables (and fruits?) to prepare them for storage before they are sent to market. If I remember correctly this is particularly an issue with potatoes. There seems to be no way to escape this life destroying chemical. Theres a perfectly good way to escape Roundup. Buy ORGANIC. Roundup is not allowed in organic agriculture. I came to this article via a Facebook post of an image of a box of Cheerios with deception written on it. That is misleading. There is no deception involved. There is no need for the quote marks around non-GMO in your title either. The cereal is non-GMO (at least, I assume that it is non-GMO verified; it should say on the box). It doesnt claim to be organic, which is what it would need to be to avoid herbicide and pesticide residues. People want things to be totally perfect or totally evil. So the conclusion is that Cheerios must be evil because they arent perfect. This simply ignores the change they have actually made by removing the GMOs, which is a step in the right direction and should be encouraged. Your article is informative but could you please not encourage this simplistic attitude with your headline (and the image, if that came from you). Theres another cereal off my list. 
1	Alex Trebek, host of the popular quiz show Jeopardy, deftly prolonged a mid-show chat with contestant Paula Riel into an agonizing 45 seconds Monday. 'So, do you meet many interesting or famous people in your job?' Trebek asked Riel, a 33-year-old Norwalk, CT, flight attendant, during the informal 'meet the contestants' portion of the broadcast. Upon hearing that Riel had once served a Diet Coke to actor Jeff Daniels, Trebek responded, 'He's a very talented actor, although I understand that his latest film was not such a big hit. That's very unfortunate for him.' Riel responded by nodding in a non-committal manner. 
1	With his sanctimonious, holier-than-thou attitude, local sports columnist Lucas Durbin is getting insufferably self-righteous and pretentiously didactic about the rape epidemic afflicting the world of collegiate athletics, sources confirmed Wednesday. Who does this guy think he is, Jesus fucking Christ? Pittsburgh Post-Gazette subscriber James Gillespie said of Durbins latest preachy editorial, in which the journalist hoisted himself up on his soapbox and called on college administrators to acknowledge the rash of sexual assaults being committed by student athletes and actively work to make the nations campuses safe for women. Yes, many allegations of rape against high-profile athletes are downplayed or outright ignored. Yes, the culture of alcohol and drug abuse that exists among college students makes rapes that much more likely. Yes, many rapes go unreported. Yes, sexual assault victims are often intimidated and threatened by the rapists friends, teammates, and fans. Yes, law enforcement is often complicit in working with colleges to cover up sexual assault cases to protect the schools reputation and keep its athletic program running smoothly. Yes, those players who are accused of sexual assault rarely, if ever, are charged with a crime. We get it, Your Excellency. Why dont you give it a rest already? At press time, Durbin was once again getting on his high horse and trotting out some hapless story about a college freshman who committed suicide after being raped by a member of the Notre Dame football team, as if readers hadnt heard it all a dozen times before. 
2	Most People Can Only Find 5 of 6 Hidden Words In This Awesome Picture Winter is probably my favorite season. Nothing can beat curling up next to a fire and watching the snow fall outside. It is one of the most relaxing things in this world. A nice book paired with tea can last me hours and I would not be mad. The crisp winter air is amazing. It is cool on your nose yet fresh in your lungs. When you build your first snowman of the winter you know it is going to be a good time. A snowman brings everyone joy and happiness. It means that it is winter and it is the season to spend with your family and friends. This winter scene has 6 hidden words and they are extremely hard to find. It took me forever to find all six of these words and I would consider myself a winter expert. The words are hidden cleverly and I was dumbfounded. The people who designed this picture are extremely witty and clever. They hid the words perfectly. I thought the dog would have a word near him. I was right, the dog has a word on him, but I wont tell you what that word is. I will let you figure it out for yourself. Have you found all 6 yet? No? Well dont worry, the six are extremely hard to find and it took me about 30 seconds to find all 6. I showed it to my friend and he stopped after finding 5. He couldnt find all 6 of them. The hidden words are mitten, boots, sled, chill, frost, and snow. They are scattered throughout the picture. Good luck finding them all and may you enjoy your snow day! Have you found them? 
2	At A Local Theater, Iraqis Watching American Sniper Yelled THIS American Sniper has been a hit in theaters, and was nominated for an Academy Award. The story is one of American hero Chris Kyle, and is stirring up controversy and political debates. While some find the story inspiring and educational, some liberals think that Kyle should not be a hero, especially after killing nearly 160 enemies. Interestingly enough, the movie sold out in theaters in Baghdad during its first week. When [Chris Kyle] was hesitating to shoot [the child holding the RPG] everyone [in the theater] was yelling Just shoot him! claims Gaith Mohammed, an Iraqi who was interviewed by the Global Post. The Global Post reporter went on to ask Mohammed if he was racist or anti-Arab. His answer would probably shock liberals. No, why? Mohammed responded. The sniper was killing terrorists! The only thing that bothered me was when he said he didnt know anything about the Quran! What do you think about Mohammeds comments? 
3	Trump Slams BuzzFeed As Failing Pile Of Garbage Tells CNN, You Are Fake NewsBy Matt Agorist As the Fake News ploy to discredit alternative media backfires and exposes corporate medias lies, Americans are quickly finding out that theyve been duped. On Tuesday, the media outfit,Buzzfeed,published an entirely unconfirmed and outright laughable hit piece against president-elect Donald Trump. (No, we are not endorsing Trump by calling attention to this.) And, on Wednesday, during a press conference, Trump slammed both Buzzfeed and CNN. A dossier, compiled by a person who has claimed to be a former British intelligence official, alleges Russia has compromising information on Trump. The allegations are unverified, and the report contains errors, the collaborative BuzzFeed article asserted. Zero Hedge summedup the ridiculous nature of Buzzfeed running such a speciousreport, In a story that is getting more surreal by the minute, a post on 4Chan now claims that the infamous golden showers scene in the unverified 35-page dossier, allegedly compiled by a British intelligence officer, was a hoax and fabricated by a member of the chatboard as fanfiction, then sent to Rick Wilson, who proceeded to send it to the CIA, which then put it in their official classified intelligence report on the election. During the press conference Wednesday, Trump slammed Buzzfeed for the report, saying Buzzfeed which is a failing pile of garbage will suffer the consequences. Then, in a massive pile of apparent butthurt,Jim Acosta yelled out, Since you are attacking us, can you give us a question? Not you, Trump said. Your organization is terrible! Acosta continued, You are attacking our news organization, can you give us a chance to ask a question, sir? Trump countered by telling him dont be rude. Im not going to give you a question, Trump responded. Dont be rude. Im not going to give you a question. You are fake news! Trump responded. The entire debacle unfolded in a matter of seconds and the result is nothing short of epic. See for yourself below.

1	Citing his advancing age and deteriorating health, Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation from the papacy Monday, saying he no longer possessed the strength and energy required to lead the Catholic Church backward. According to the 85-year-old pontiff, after considerable prayer and reflection on his physical stamina and mental acuity, he concluded that his declining faculties left him unable to helm the Churchs ambitious regressive agenda and guide the faiths one billion global followers on their steady march away from modernity and cultural advancement. It is with sadness, but steadfast conviction, that I announce I am no longer capable of impeding social progress with the energy and endurance that is required of the highest ministry in the Roman Catholic Church, Benedict reportedly said in Latin to the Vaticans highest cardinals. While Im proud of the strides the Church has made over the past eight years, from thwarting AIDS-prevention efforts in Africa to failing to punish or even admit to decades of sexual abuse of children at the hands of clergy, it has become evident to me that, in this rapidly evolving world, I now lack the capacity to continue guiding this faith back centuries. Thus, I must step down from the papacy, he added. But let me assure every member of the Church that the Vaticans commitment to narrow-mindedness and social obstruction will long live on after my departure. Word of Benedicts resignationthe first for a sitting pope in nearly 600 yearsreportedly stunned the worlds Catholic faithful, many of whom believed the German-born pontiff still had years of stymieing female advancement in Church roles, opposing stem cell research, and inflaming tensions with Jews, Muslims, and Anglicans left in him. Other members of the faith, however, said they recognized the Holy Father had, as of late, grown slower and more feeble in his ability to block measures regarding scientific discovery and same-sex rights. Many believers expressed appreciation that Benedict recognized his limitations at obstructing societys advancement, and admitted feeling a sense of excitement that a new pontiff could reinvigorate the faiths obsolete ideology and guide the Church toward bold social norms unseen since the Middle Ages. Ill always appreciate what Benedict XVI did for limiting my ability to receive basic health care services, said devout Catholic Ana Maria Fernndez of Buenos Aires. He was a visionary leader who was undaunted by modern realities and social trends, always vowing to triumph over modern ideals of fairness, equality, and in many cases, even basic human compassion to achieve a darker, far more regressive world for all of us. I doubt well ever find another leader so committed to reversing societys natural progression of post-Enlightenment values, Fernndez added. He will truly be missed. Responding to the widespread outpouring of shock and sadness surrounding his resignation, Benedict issued a brief statement Monday afternoon consoling his followers, assuring them that the Churchs most ignorant and regressive days still lie ahead of us. 
3	AMA Shoots at Quacks Like Oz Again: Fulfills Original GoalBy Heather Callaghan But what happens when one of them a cardiac surgeon of all things charismatically fulfills the hungry consumer market for health information? He must be stopped! The AMA has launched a new campaign to cut down Dr. Oz of The Dr. Oz Show in order to preserve their medical dogma. In the process, they with the help of the willing media have called him a quack espousing pseudo-science (i.e. anything not Big Pharma-approved) and are officially ostracizing him. Yet, if you knew the true origins of the AMA, you could point and laugh at the naked emperor instead of joining the propagandists at throwing stones at a TV show that might sadly be the only real nutritional advice most Americans get. VOX reports: Medical students and residents frustrated with bogus advice from doctors on TV have, for more than a year, been asking the American Medical Association to clamp down and defend the integrity of the profession. Now the AMA is finally taking a stand on quack MDs who spread pseudoscience in the media. This is a turning point where the AMA is willing to go out in public and actively defend the profession, Benjamin Mazer, a medical student at the University of Rochester who was involved in crafting the resolution, said. This is one of the most proactive steps that the AMA has taken [on mass media issues]. Did you catch that new buzz term? Quack MDsThis is a first! Remember, for over a hundred years, the campaign has been to only trust licensed MDs. Kudos to them for working the words quack and pseudoscience into the same sentence that couldnt possibly be any kind of media manipulation. Watch out the report continues to say that the AMA will be creating their own ethical medical guidelines that doctors had better follow or else They took a vote at their get together in Chicago last week but you werent invited. You dont get to decide who is the authority over your health and body they get together and strategize ways of securing that. If Dr. Oz doesnt proactively stomp this campaign out somehow, he may get snuffed and at that point Americans had better get livid, make demands and refuse to see AMA-beloved doctors until they can get some real answers. Just as with Natural Cures author, Kevin Trudeau, the campaign which includes the Federal Trade Commission, is targeting the weight-loss angle. If you know the true Rockefeller/Big Banker origins of the AMA in order to slice away all modes of alternative health therapies, then it becomes nothing more than an obvious smear campaign to further clamp any empowering health information. Its strategic power hoarding. Additionally, would it really benefit the average American to watch the typical talk shows instead of being exposed albeit in a highly marketable, bedazzling salesman fashion to a vast array of new foods, supplements and the way vitamins and minerals fulfill various body functions? Something beyond third grade health class? Four million viewers a day have made positive demands in grocery stores and health food stores alike. One of the greatest crash courses on the AMAs original goal to silence beneficial and alternative health modes (they werent called alternative back then!) is the Source Watch page, because the intricate origins are sourced. Some would say oh, thats a conspiracy youre darn right it is! It was largely successful in the 19th and 20th centuries and continues through today like a boulder down a mountain. It also included the Federal Trade Commission along with other big players in a concerted effort. Another source with AMA origins is a book called MediSin. If a licensed medical doctor/surgeon is being relentlessly attacked by the AMA for quackery, simply replace the word quackery with the term not getting with the original program. I peeked at The Dr. Oz Show site today just for fun only to find vast resources for nutrition, recipe, weaning off sugar and spotting lesser-known symptoms of cancer. What a horrible person. A doctor who uses the medium of television and the Internet to inform people sitting on their butts to get up and move, eat better, empower themselves but also see their AMA doctor if necessary? Disingenuous! The way he fulfills the original meaning of the word doctor is completely unconscionable. If you recall the best 4 ways to spot Big Pharmas astroturfing and media manipulation(all four tactics have been deployed against Oz), then you can laugh and see this campaign to heroically expose quackery for the America people for what it really is Cutting down an American idol to continue securing all medical power; all sources of medical information. 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: Living a natural life eliminates the need for a whole genre of medical fraud.. dont fear life , body, healtheducate yourself and others. Thanks Dr. Oz.. Dr. Oz stepped over the line when he discussed the evidence against GMO produced food. Big Pharma is turning the USA into an Idiocracy by dumbing us all down to believe nothing existed before toxic chemicals being pumped into the bloodstream. Are you kidding? Oz may not be a quack, but he is a hypocrite and really not that well educated when it comes to anything outside of modern medicine. Whenever Big Pharma/AMA/FDA attack anything, you can rest assured its good for you. They would be comical if it wasnt for the sad fact so few people realize this simple formula for health. This is nothing more than Pig pHARMa protecting its allopathic grand illusion its bottom lineThey cant handle the truth.John Rockefeller himself used Homeopathic medicine for himself his family.revealing that they still have great grandaddys penchant for selling Snake Oil vaccinationsThese sik fuks want you to depend on them, so they can drain your wallet by treating symptoms.these skanks should all be arrested forced to face an impartial jury for crimes against humanitymalice of forethoughtreckless endangerment murder (Imho)just wait till Codex Alimentarius is in full force against us.pitchforks torches comes to mind Oh Eddie why lie? We all know you love to make this stuff up. WTG Doc OZ! ya must of done something good to get in their cross hairs next up dr. Mercola. Dr. Oz should definitely not be cut down, fired or silenced. But so shouldnt those people who point out his misinformation and quackery. Or the disinformation of Monsanto, orthodox medicine, etc. Dr. Oz is a mixed bag. Hes a mix of science and pseudoscience (not unlike the medical profession), making it difficult for almost anyone to know what is actually true or not. Also, Oz panders to both alternative and conventional medicine anything that brings him and his enterprise more fame and money. Proof that Dr. Oz (and his team) does NOT closely consider the merits of the products he advertises is available: Dr. Oz had claimed that the diet product garcinia cambogia is the Holy Grail of weight loss and that it is also beneficial for diabetics but the product is probably contributing to diabetes google or bing Do Garcinia Cambogia Side Effects Boost Diabetes? (supplements-and-health dot com site). In a recent Today show, Oz said about diet pills thats a flawed area with lots of fraud, both in the research and in products but these facts have been known in the medical literature for many years way BEFORE Dr. Oz promote diet supplements as miracles and what not so he and his so-called excellent research team should have known that, pointed it out, or avoided that area from the start (read the article cited above). Its proof that no one should trust Dr. Oz and his lucrative enterprise. But because hes a misleading showman, deceptively leveraging of his medical credentials as a sales and promotional tool, the general gullible public falls for this trustworthy person just about every single time He claims to not have a conflict of interest but he is available for sponsoring partnerships whether from the orthodox medical business or the alternative medical business meaning he gets paid by these sponsors to have their products advertised on his show and all of it increases his fame, viewer-ship, and thus his income and that of his enterprise. Its simply a big deceptive lie that hes without conflict of interest. The excuses Dr. Oz provided for his misconduct (eg, his show isnt a medical show he said a day before this show here got taped he corrected it probably realizing that many people might not be so dumb to see how deeply deceptive that statement was. On one side he makes this ridiculous claim, its not a medical show, but on the other hand he makes sure everyone knows that hes a doctor calling his infomercial program the Dr. Oz show. He is or isnt a medical doctor whenever it suits him) are about as shallow, conniving, and deceptive as his usual way of advertising miracle products. His fans generally make excuses for him like he makes excuses for his irresponsible behavior. Likes attract likes? The biggest truth, however, is that in both alternative medicine and conventional medicine (and other huge corporate industries), etc quackery, scams, and a lack of integrity are commonplace (which both industries tend to hide from the public) because theyre both mainly self-serving businesses. But because it is so polarized each side consistently fails to acknowledge and recognize its own weaknesses, mistakes, and misconducts thus they both tend to fail to recognize the big picture situation. Callaghans piece is one such unbalanced account. Dr. Oz is definitely a Capitalist. But, I can clearly see why he is a target of the AMA. Anything promoted by a Dr., a good one in this case, that is not in the (cant recall actual acronym;DMSV ?) then he is going to get targeted by the AMA. Cant veer from that book or it can be the end of your career. If that book says you are supposed to inject gasoline directly into the heart of a patient with Shingles, then thats what you have to do do, even if the Dr. knows it will result in immediate death. My psychiatrist will NOT EVER veer from that book, no matter what I say about the medication or treatment. In fact, I am certain I could rent an office and treat psychiatric patients by using that book (all I need is a prescription pad). Forget any Dr.s own empirical evidence of what happens to patients when they are treated by the demands of that book, they have to continue to follow the guide. Dr. Oz, veers from time to time and for that, he should be put in jail. At least, thats what the AMA would do with him. 
2	Baby Dylan Wouldnt Stop Crying And She Didnt Know Why, Until She Lifted His Shirt, And Was SHOCKED You think that youve picked a safe place to take care of your child while you are at work, but then the employees do THIS, and dont even tell her! The mother discovers what has happened to her son only after she takes off his shirt and he begins to cry. An 8-month old boy was scalded by hazardously hot bath water while he was at day care. This story is every moms nightmare. Now, the mom is making it her mission to see that daycare monitoring rules get stricter after her infant son received severe burns at the hands of his caretaker. Mother Nileshni Prasad of South Auckland, New Zealand said that her son is finally recovering, and that the hot scalding bath was an accident but still should never have happened. Dylan was bathed in water that was dangerously hot, especially for an infant with very sensitive skin. Dylan had been attending daycare at Brights Sparks Childcare when an employee accidentally left him in the tub while it was still being filled up. The water suddenly became boiling hot and left the child with terrible burns. In my opinion, the worst part is that they did not tell the mother. How terrible is this! I pray for this family, and this little baby, who still experiences pain to this day. 
2	ALERT: While We Were Focusing On The Election, Obama Quietly Did THIS Throughout the course of his presidency, President Barack Obama has tried to assert that he is a Christian man. Time and time again, his claims have been tested by actions that demonstrate that his loyalties clearly lie elsewhere. That was confirmed at the National Prayer Breakfast, where Obama called Islam an American religion. We are summoned to push back against those who would distort our religion for their nihilistic ends, Obama commented during the event. He went on to single out the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria, referring to the militants as a death cult. He also discussed the recent attacks in Paris and the assault on a school in Pakistan. Its clear that Obama still refuses to acknowledge the threat facing our country today. By the time he sees the light, it is almost certainly going to be too late. What do you think? Do we need a real leader in the White House? 
1	Testing New Machine, Disastronome XG-479, The selfnews News Network Creates Natural Disasters At Will New York, NY (August 25, 2011) - Natural disasters are sweeping the East Coast of our great nation: An Earthquake struck Tuesday afternoon in Virginia, and a hurricane is currently making its way north from Florida. Shedding light on this situation, The selfnews News Network announced today that both events were caused by the omnipresent hand of the most powerful name in cable news, The selfnews News Network. For decades The selfnews News Network has been developing a machine called the DXG-479, also known as the Disastronome XG-479, designed to create natural disasters at will. The science behind the machine is too complicated for most Americans to understand, but suffice to say it involves thousands of hydraulic pistons buried deep in the Earth's crust, harnessing the gravitational pull of the moon. This week the world saw the results of The selfnews News Networks initial tests of the Disastronome. The purpose of building this machine is obvious: It will allow The selfnews News Network to become even more dominant as the world's number-one cable news channel. Bracing for slow news days in the not too distant future where the only headlines are about Obama giving up on another policy debate and Kim Kardashian's divorce proceedings, the network eagerly awaits the opportunity to utilize this newfound technology. Seemingly out of nowhere, a tornado can touch down directly on top of a fireworks factory filled with elementary school students on a field trip. The selfnews News Network will be first to the scene ahead of time to start cameras rolling. The Disastronome is every cable news journalists dream, said The selfnews News Networks lead anchor Brooke Alvarez. The footage will be glorious: Children running for their lives as the tornado whips the fireworks up into a whirling funnel of explosions. An animated headline and my face will swoosh onto every TV screen in America reading 'Special Report: Twister Terror Grips The Heartland.' With the Disastronome, The selfnews News Network can now cover a new catastrophe every day of the week, from mud slides to wildfires to never-before-seen natural disasters such as thundernadoes and lava blizzards. The second season of selfnews News Network premieres October 4th at 10pm on IFC. 
3	Police allegedly break mans arm, falsely prosecute him after refusing officers prostitution offerMadison Ruppert, Contributor While at this stage it is nothing more than an allegation, I wouldnt be all too surprised if it turned out to be true. After all, police have brutally beaten people for no reason and even murdered an innocent elderly man with no repercussions whatsoever while officers who actually stand up for our rights are targeted for harassment and discipline. The plaintiff, Guillermo Cuadra, says that he had a mere $3 on his person when what appeared to be a prostitute approached him as he was stopped at a traffic light and asked him if he would like to engage in sexual activities, to put it in a more palatable manner. According to the documents filed in the Miami-Dade County Court, Cuadra said, No, and yet still the undercover officer gave another officer the takedown sign, and then an officer turned on his lights and stopped him. Cuadra says that he was ordered into a nearby motel parking lot where other police officers were handling other drivers, making Cuadra think that he was being stopped for a mere traffic violation. Obeying the commands of the police officers, Cuadra stepped out of his car, put his hands in the air and got on his knees. However, in just the next paragraph of the story on Courthouse News, the account seems to be contradicting itself. Cuadra apparently claims that the police pulled him out of the car then pushed his face into the gravel, stepped on him and then handcuffed him. However, this cannot be reconciled with the above quote where it is said that Cuadra exited his automobile. If he exited his car, how could the police pull him out of it? According to the court filing, after Cuadro either exited the vehicle or was pulled out and handcuffed, police yanked up on the left arm of the plaintiff Cuadra breaking the plaintiffs left upper arm, tearing his shoulder ligament and causing nerve damage to his elbow and hand. The break caused an audible snap and crack, at which time plaintiff Cuadra told the police officers, You broke my arm, states the complaint. After that, according to Cuadra, the police officer responded, Fuck you you want a piece of this?! Cuadra maintains that he had only $3 in cash on his person while he says that the city falsely charged him with solicitation of prostitution, allegedly offering the undercover police officer $60. According to the complaint the police also charged Cuadra with resisting arrest, although all charges were later dropped. He also alleges that the police held him in their car for a whopping 4 hours instead of taking him to a hospital to receive medical attention. When he complained about the severe pain in his arm, one of the officers allegedly said, Well, you do still have another arm. Cuadra is now seeking damages for costs incurred in connection with this action, and for any other and further relief [the court] deems just and proper. Furthermore, the complaint alleges that Cuadras wife, Ginny Cuadra, suffered consequential loss of consortium, comfort, society, companionship, affection, attentions and spousal services, in both the past and future. Its sad to say that this type of behavior on the part of police is neither surprising nor shocking in todays world. I believe it is truly tragic that our law enforcement officers, formerly public servants sworn to protect and serve, have become revenue generation officers sworn to brutalize and oppress.

3	Another Banker Found Dead Under Strange CircumstancesJoshua Krause Miller was found dead in his apartment with his wrists and throat slashed, and the case is now being investigated as a suicide. He was apparently a well known advocate for responsible business practices. Police believe Miller killed himself, Detective Martin Speechley, an NYPD spokesman, told Bloomberg News Wednesday. However, the official cause of death will remain a mystery until the autopsy report is concluded. Miller was highly regarded at Citi and across the financial services industry as a leader and tireless advocate for environmental and sustainable business practices, top managers at Citigroup wrote in a letter to staff in his department, Bloomberg reported. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him, the letter said. Miller had a strong background in advocating corporate social responsibility throughout his career, first at the World Bank and then at Citigroup. After winning a US government-funded fellowship to study Bengali in Calcutta, India, Miller worked for the International Finance Corp, the investment arm of the World Bank, for nine years, advocating public consultation and better cooperation with environmental and human rights groups. At Citigroup from 2004, he was responsible for policies drawn up by the Equator Principles Association, a group of 80 lenders worldwide that called for banks to defend environmental and social conditions when financing projects, Bloomberg News reported. He co-authored standards for responsible risk decision-making, according to Citigroups website. However, not everything is as it seems with the death of Shawn Miller. 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.

1	The World Wide Web, a device used solely for the enrichment of the nation and the advancement of lasting social stability, gained another website for the convenience of its users Monday, bringing the current number of existing Internet destinations to 12. SeedStore.com, the latest site to burst into cyberspace after taking the Public Pledge On Self-Discipline, offers users a variety of quality flower and vegetable seeds at excellent prices. With its helpful tips, special discounts on bulk orders, and glowing praise of government agencies, SeedStore.com provides everything online shoppers need without forcing them to sift through pernicious and unimportant so-called information that jeopardizes state security and disturbs national unity. According to news source NYTimes.comthe 10th website, which did not exist before December 2008, no matter what many treasonous and deceptive search engines claiman estimated 1.5 billion people currently use the Internet's 12 web pages. 'I am grateful to the web for providing me all the information I need, while always protecting me from dangerous and entirely fabricated YouTube videos of noble Chinese police administering swift justice to the skulls of Tibetan monks,' said Internet user Guo Mu-rui, who frequently visits the popular websites YuWanMei.com and ConfuciusQuotes.net. 'Who knew that someday we'd be able to carry forth our rich cultural traditions and promote the ethical norms of a socialist society, all at the touch of a button?' Respectable and trustworthy sources have confirmed that rumors of a 13th website are patently false. Nevertheless, any suspicious links should be brought to the attention of government officials, so that they may be properly welcomed to the Internet by the ever-watchful Ministry of Public Security, and placed under its protective Golden Shield. 
3	Money Talks, Obamacare Walks: Some Doctors to Accept Cash OnlyLily Dane The answer may be to find a physician who offers concierge or direct care (also referred to as membership medicine, cash-only practice, direct practice, or boutique medicine). Doctors who use this business model charge patients a monthly or annual membership fee or retainer for unlimited office access (usually including 24-hour email and/or telephone accessibility), and bill patients for tests and supplies that are used. This business model is a win-win for doctors and patients both parties avoid having to deal with insurance companies and the associated high costs, paperwork, and red tape. According to data from a national survey of nearly 14,000 physicians conducted by physician staffing firm Merritt Hawkins for The Physicians Foundation, 9.6 percent of practice owners are planning to convert to concierge practices in the next one to three years. Physicians have been running for cover for several years now, said Mark Smith, president of Merritt Hawkins. There is a lot of uncertainty in health care now and the only certainty is there is a lot of talk about cutting physicians fees. One way to get out of it is to go off the grid. Dr. Nunamakers practice, which is located in Wichita, Kansas, has negotiated pricing for services that arent offered in their office. He can get cholesterol tests done for $3 instead of the $90 labs typically bill to insurance companies. And MRIs, which normally cost $2000, can be done for $400. In April 2013, Dr. Michael Ciampi of South Portland, Maine, stopped accepting all forms of health insurance. Insurance companies no longer dictate how much he charges, he can offer discounts to patients who are struggling, and he can make house calls. His prices are listed on his website. Im freed up to do what I think is right for the patients, Ciampi said. If Im providing them a service that they value, they can pay me, and we cut the insurance out as the middleman and cut out a lot of the expense. If more doctors were able to do this, that would be real health care reform. Thats when wed see the cost of medicine truly go down. Dr. Kevin Wacasey of Colleyville, Texas, runs what he calls a cash clinic. On the Colleyville Medical Clinic website, Dr. Wacasey says he took an oath to do no harm to my patients. To me, that includes financial harm. When Congress was busy debating about Obamacare, a small group of doctors formed the Direct Primary Care Coalition. Dr. Erika Bliss, a coalition leader, said she receives monthly alerts about new concierge practices or converting practices. She now estimates there is a direct primary care practice in nearly every state. In March, the American Academy of Family Physicians issued a statement in favor of the direct care model. The DPC website provides a list of direct primary care practices in the United States. Perhaps if more doctors and patients shift to this model, well get the truly affordable, high-quality healthcare we need. Lily Dane is a staff writer for The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared.

2	Win For Chris Kyle, Judge Absolutely Destroys Jesse Ventura According to recent reports, a judge recently ruled that the estate of Chris Kyle does not have to pay the reimbursements requested by Jesse Ventura. Although U.S. District Judge Richard Kyle did order the former Navy seal to pay Venture $40,989 in legal fees, the judge rejected an additional $5,213 in expenses. Ventura sued Kyle over American Sniper, claiming damages over the bar scene portrayed in the book. He was eventually awarded $1.8 million, and a reimbursement of legal fees. According to reports, some of the costs requested for reimbursement were absolutely ridiculoussuch as a $120 baggage fee from his son to carry bags in the airport. The money-hungry Ventura also requested $80 in witness fees his son obtained by staying in town for the weekend. What do you think? Is Ventura just absolutely disgusting? 
3	Quantum Refrigerator Offers Extreme Cooling and Convenienceselfnews Post Whats more, the prototype NIST refrigerator, which measures a few inches in outer dimensions, enables researchers to place any suitable object in the cooling zone and later remove and replace it, similar to an all-purpose kitchen refrigerator. The cooling power is the equivalent of a window-mounted air conditioner cooling a building the size of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. Its one of the most flabbergasting results Ive seen, project leader Joel Ullom says. We used quantum mechanics in a nanostructure to cool a block of copper. The copper is about a million times heavier than the refrigerating elements. This is a rare example of a nano- or microelectromechanical machine that can manipulate the macroscopic world. As described in Applied Physics Letters,* the NIST refrigerators cooling elements, consisting of 48 tiny sandwiches of specific materials, chilled a plate of copper, 2.5 centimeters on a side and 3 millimeters thick, from 290 mK to 256 mK. The cooling process took about 18 hours. NIST researchers expect that minor improvements will enable faster and further cooling to about 100 mK. NIST researchers previously demonstrated this basic cooling method** but are now able to cool larger objects that can be easily attached and removed. Researchers developed a micromachining process to attach the cooling elements to the copper plate, which is designed to be a stage on which other objects can be attached and cooled. Additional advances include better thermal isolation of the stage, which is suspended by strong, cold-tolerant cords. Cooling to temperatures below 300 mK currently requires complex, large and costly apparatus. NIST researchers want to build simple, compact alternatives to make it easier to cool NISTs advanced sensors. Researchers plan to boost the cooling power of the prototype refrigerator by adding more and higher-efficiency superconducting junctions and building a more rigid support structure.

3	Carnegie Science Study Finds Contrails Not Part of Covert Climate ManipulationBy Derrick Broze Researchers with Carnegie Science at the University of California Irvine and the nonprofit Near Zero have published a study which claims toconclusively debunkthe possibility of an alleged secret government aerosol spraying program. The study,Quantifying expert consensus against the existence of a secret, large-scale atmospheric spraying program, waspublished in the journalEnvironmental Research Letters. We find broad scientific consensus against the existence of a secret, large-scale atmospheric spraying program. Our goal is not to sway those already convinced that there is a secret, large-scale spraying programwho often reject counter-evidence as further proof of their theoriesbut rather to establish a source of objective, peer-reviewed science that can inform public discourse in the future by seriously addressing the underlying concerns of science, governance, and public trust. We therefore offer the first peer-reviewed expert response on SLAP data, from both atmospheric scientists with expertise in condensation trails and geochemists working on atmospheric deposition of dust and pollution. The authors of the studyconducted a survey of the leading contrail and atmosphere scientists to find out if there was sufficient evidence to support claims of a secret, large-scale atmospheric spraying program (SLAP). The contrail and atmospheric experts overwhelmingly rejected evidence cited by believers of what is sometimes known as the Chemtrails Conspiracy. According to the Chemtrails Conspiracyweather modification programs are actively taking place in our skies, and the normal contrails created by planes are actually geoengineering programs being covertlycarried 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. According to a 2013 congressional report: In general, geoengineering technologies are categorized as either a carbon dioxide removal (CDR) method or a solar radiation management (SRM) (or albedo-modification)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. The researchers at University of California Irvine and Near Zero used the Web of Science database of citations to identify authors of the most-cited peer-reviewed papers concerning contrails and atmospheric conditions between the years of 1994 and 2014.The researchers write: Nearly 17% of people in an international survey said they believed the existence of a secret large-scale atmospheric program (SLAP) to be true or partly true. SLAP is commonly referred to as chemtrails or covert geoengineering, and has led to a number of websites purported to show evidence of widespread chemical spraying linked to negative impacts on human health and the environment. To address these claims, we surveyed two groups of expertsatmospheric chemists with expertize in condensation trails and geochemists working on atmospheric deposition of dust and pollutionto scientifically evaluate for the first time the claims of SLAP theorists. The teamsearched the terms contrails, atmospheric deposition, aluminum, barium, or strontium to narrow down the results to scientists working on those elements. The study defines contrail expert and atmospheric deposition expert as a person who co-authored one or more of the 100 most-cited papers in the search. On average these experts had been professionally active for 26 years and 22 years, respectively. After identifying220 contrail experts and 255 atmospheric deposition experts, the researchers narrowed it down to 49 contrail experts and 65 atmospheric deposition, a total of 77 purported experts. The surveys asked the experts to examine data from websites that promote the narrative that covert geoengineering programs are taking place. These include Geoengineering Watch (geoengineeringwatch.org) and Global Sky Watch (globalskywatch.com). Individuals who assert the existence of such a SLAP assume different purposes of the program, the researchers wrote. Initially, the most commonly inferred goals were control over population, food supply, and/or the weather. The two surveys examined four photographs of trails made by airplanes that are alleged to be active geoengineering, and elemental analyses of water, soil and snow samples that are supposed to contain high levels of toxins. The researchers were asked if they had ever come across evidence that might indicate the existence of SLAP. The results show that 76 0f 77 scientists said they had not encountered evidence of a secret aerosol program. The scientists also said evidence provided by the websites could be explained by typical airplane contrails and poor data sampling. The experts say that none of the pictures showed anything out of the ordinary and that the mechanisms behind the contrails are well documented in the peer-reviewed literature. Three different elemental analyses were looked at, including pond sludge alleged to contain high levels of barium, strontium, and aluminum; a sample of airborne particulates from Phoenix, Arizona; and a snow surface sample taken in July 2008 on Mount Shasta, California. The experts also examined two sets of instructions from the websites on how non-specialists can gather samples for testing. In both examples the experts overwhelmingly disagreed with the instructions (71% and 68%) and stated that the collection methods would contaminate the sample and alter the levels of elements. We wanted to establish a scientific record on the topic of secret atmospheric spraying programs for the benefit of those in the public who havent made up their minds, said Steven Davis of UC Irvine. The experts we surveyed resoundingly rejected contrail photographs and test results as evidence of a large-scale atmospheric conspiracy. Interestingly, the researchers did admit that contrails are indeed lasting longer, a claim that has been made by the chemtrail crowd for some time now. However, the experts in the study were divided in the reasons they provided for the longer lasting trails. Thirty-five percent believe that aircraft are flying higher, 22% say that modern and larger engines are producing more water vapor, 18% said that more plane traffic at higher altitudes creates more contrails, and 10% believe the decreased temperature of aircraft exhaust is behind the longer lasting contrails.Carnegies Ken Caldeira said its possible that the climate is causing contrails to persist for longer periods of time. Thats five different reasons for longer contrails offered by contrail experts. If the experts cannot even agree on what is causing the longer contrails should we readily accept the notion that there is nothing to the chemtrail theory?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.Hisfears mightnot be completely unfounded. In late June, John Brennan, director of the Central Intelligence Agency, spoke at a Council on Foreign Relations meeting, calling for more research into geoengineering.There is also the issue of a1996 U.S. Air Force document entitled Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather by 2025 which discusses a number of proposals for using the weather as a weapon. TheEnvironmental Modification Treatywas also signed by the United States and other nations to halt global weather modification.During the Vietnam War the US government operated covert weather modification programs under Operation Popeye. In 2012 it was revealed thatthe US Army sprayed toxic chemicals over the skies of St. Louis without informing the public. These individual pieces of knowledge might not specifically point to the existence of secret spraying program, but theydoindicate that the U.S. government will conduct covert programs for years before admitting it the public. Should we really expect these experts to be fully aware of what the government does behind closed doors? Regardless of where you stand, geoengineering has been a controversial topic in recent years, both as a subject of conspiracy research and environmental concerns. One of the reasons the topic is so controversial is because of the possible risks. 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 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. Is thisfirst-ever peer-reviewed study on geoengineering and covert weather modification programs really the nail in the coffin the mainstream media and science experts seem to believe? Or is this just another ploy designed to distract you from the pattern of Xs being sprayed in the skies above you? Let us know your thoughts below.

To say there is no evidence is absolutely absurd and proves beyond a doubt that those scientists are bought and paid for. More ignore what you clearly observe because we say it doesnt exist garbage. Spot the person who has never worked in the scientific field! Always nice when the flat earthers, bought off scientists and other government shills expose themselves for the cretins that they are. What do you say from whom? A Carnegie Study? Their first mistake was investigating contrails and not chemtrails. Oops, better luck next time. Would you trust your leaders to tell you the truth? No, which is why you have to trust replicable independent studies. None of which ever find any evidence for chemtrails. If my dear leaders said there was no GOD (not God nor gods) and they rightly did so because they had studied all of science and determined that there was no proof sorry, I know better IMnsHO and E (experience) but to each their own. I would never believe in something as vague and woolly and unprovable as a god. I accept that it is impossible to prove either way, but I see no benefit in believing in what seems to me very likely to be a man-made construct created in antiquity to keep the peasants compliant. As far as I can see, religion causes nothing but misery. I agree with you completely, and that was also my own view until I actually experienced (personal and primarily subjective) what I took to be God at the time, but when I thoroughly researched the entire field, I came to believe that the man-made institutions (religions) only related to their own version which is a God or god, not GOD. You are one religiously devout paid disinformant. Well then would you be so kind as to tell me where I can pick up my pay? After identifying 220 contrail experts and 255 atmospheric deposition experts, the researchers narrowed it down to 49 contrail experts and 65 atmospheric deposition, a total of 77 purported experts. How does 49+65 equal 77 ?!?!?!?!? i wonder what the ones they cut out would have had to say? Also, did anyone fly through various trails to test the composition of them? Instead of analyzing others data, why didnt they do this type of research directly? If no one is looking for the info, why would they think anyone would have it for them to see? Someone needs to go up there and fly some equipment through those trails, many of them, many many times not sift through other peoples work for an answer people probably havent been looking for. Also The results show that 76 0f 77 scientists said they had not encountered evidence of a secret aerosol program. So what did that one guy have to say then? Not included, conveniently. Bloody intellectual fools. GO LOOK AT THE DAMN TRAILS YOURSELVES! YOU CALL YOURSELVES SCIENTISTS??? I thought about the need for collecting samples from behind some of these planes, or at least trying to find out if they are all commercial jets, or military jets, and where they take off and land. This would be a dangerous task to say the least. Somehow, the chemicals need to get on the planes. Some think they are added to jet fuel. Some think they are injected into the exhaust. Can anyone get samples of jet fuel? Can anyone track fly ash or other metals like aluminum or barium to see if 100% of it can be accounted for? The US population would not be happy to discover we are being sprayed. Anyone who gets too close to the truth, if indeed it is occurring, risks being rubbed out. It will require courage and sacrifice. Carnegie doing science for Rockefeller, tells you this? You buy it? Ive got bridge I can sell you rather cheaply too. Care to write your check for two million dollars? The bridge? Oh its in Brooklyn, NY. I actually own it by way of some horse thieving one of my great, great, grandfathers did a while back. You pay me now, Ill get you the bridge over the next thousand years or so. Who wrote their report? Snopes? Thanks Carnegie Science at the University of California Irvine, I can quit worrying about the crap they are not spraying. Im sure its not aluminum and barium nano particulates and other crap. No, DO LOOK UP. Look up how contrails form. Then stop worrying about ridiculous hoaxes like chemtrails. There are enough real problems to worry about without filling your head with fantasies. Youd think an organization such as Carnegie Science at UC Irvine would have collected samples and analyzed them according to their own scientific principles instead of just looking at others work and criticizing that. Also, if there is such a weather modification program it is covert and just asking scientists if they have encountered evidence of such a program is ridiculous. When you see the names Carnegie or Rockefeller involved in any scientific discussion, you should be suspicious of the conclusions they reach. So covert that iut makes vast, lingering white stripes in the sky? Why doesnt someone point a a spectrometer or a spectrophotometer at one to see what elements and compounds are in a chemtrail? thank Gaia for some sense these well meaning trailers lack the same critical thinking as AGW chaps great to focus their energy against actual issues e.g. Fuku Flu fracking GMOs there is a lot to go around. Carnegie and Rockefeller? Good lord this lot are responsible for development of the AIDS virus. They ahve been actively involved with depopulation agenda for years and years! Seen it all now! What a bunch of absolute total and utter liars! Do they honestly think we are THAT stupid?! The majority of people ARE that stupid and lazy, only listening/watching/reading MSM, and all these scientists rely on that. It took me no time at all to see that this is a deliberately deceptive article, probably placed there to deceive anyone who is still ignorant of the spraying or on the fence about it. The very title contains the word contrails, and the article then goes on to use that term almost interchangeably with chemtrails, when the two terms describe decidedly different conditions. Most (if not all) planes flying at high altitude will leave some degree of contrail or trail of condensation. These trails are analogous to what happens when you first start up your automobile on a very cold morning. At first, there is a certain amount of hot air leaving the exhaust pipe that turns atmospheric moisture into steam, so that you have a short trail of steam. The same happens in aircraft, but when you look at the contrail, it is only a multiple of the planes length perhaps 10 times (and I admit, this number is just speculation off the top of my head). The contrails soon dissipate into the atmosphere and disappear completely. By contrast, the chemtrails remain following the aircraft that leave them. Like a plume of smoke, they widen and take on a roughly triangular shape, crossing the entire visible sky, and they remain for hours on end. About 14 paragraphs into this article, there is a photograph that clearly depicts chemtrails covering the entire sky visible in the picture. Normal condensate trails do not remain in the sky for hours and hours. Nor are these phenomena explainable as clouds, which have very definable shapes and movement. Never mind the egregious simple arithmetic error pointed out below by Tabbytha (After identifying 220 contrail experts and 255 atmospheric deposition experts, the researchers narrowed it down to 49 contrail experts and 65 atmospheric deposition, a total of 77 purported experts. How does 49+65 equal 77!?) The article is a piece of total deceptive propaganda. 
1	In a highly anticipated episode of the popular talk show U.N. Tonight! With Ban Ki-Moon, Latvian representative to the United Nations and frequent guest Normans Penke delighted the late-night programs studio audience Tuesday with a humorous human development index anecdote. The Emmy Awardwinning variety and interview show, which airs in all 193 U.N. member states and is viewed by 400 million households each night, opened with host Bans signature monologue, during which the secretary-general poked fun at Greek austerity measures, U.S.-Israeli relations, and the ongoing Syrian conflict, quipping that its almost as if [President Bashar] al-Assads getting away with murder over there. After being introduced in the six official languages of the U.N., Ambassador Penke, the nights first guest, walked on stage to a jazz-pop rendition of the Latvian national anthem played by house band Kofi Annan and the Late Night Envoys. So there I was talking to this Belgian diplomat about our infant mortality rates, and then I realize Im standing right next to the El Salvadorian representative, whose countrys human development score is still in the .670s, said Penke, seated on a couch between Bans desk and announcer-sidekick Boutros Boutros-Ghali. Now, Im trying to change the subject to something elseanything elsebut all I can think of are standard of living and education indices, both of which El Salvador ranks poorly in. It was so embarrassing. I suppose the U.N.s still at work on getting El Salvadors life expectancy up, just like it did with Yugoslavia, right Boutros? Oh, wait added Penke, delighting the audience as the camera cut to former secretary-general Boutros-Ghali tugging comically at his shirt collar and feigning discomfort. Ban then added to the ribbing by telling Penke that he probably shouldnt mention getting things up around [band leader] Kofi, causing the studio to erupt in laughter. Taped in Studio 4B of the international organizations New York headquarters, U.N. Tonight! has long attracted the biggest names in geopolitics and famine relief. Along with Penke, Tuesdays show featured French security council representative Grard Araud, Afghan warlord Matiullah Khan, Modern Family actress Julie Bowen, and musical guest Ral Castro. Some guests just want to come in, plug their upcoming address on gender equality in the Middle East, and get out, but Normans is always great, said the programs segment producer, Alison Hadwell, noting that the Baltic emissary can always be relied on to bring amusing stories, ensure the audience stays engaged, and keep mentions of unsanctioned nuclear weapons programs to a minimum. I wish I could say the same about everyone. Last week we had the Norwegian prime minister here with his trained birds, and he completely lost control of them. We had parrots and ospreys flying all over our studio. Luckily for us, Bans a pro, Hadwell added. He always manages to turn the awkward and unscripted situations into some of the shows most memorable moments. Adapted from the popular radio program The League Of Nations Half-Hour Jamboree, which ran until 1946, U.N. Tonight! has attracted a sizable following with its popular General Assembly address parodies and recurring segments, including Fake World Peace Agreements, Stump The Translator, and Who Ate My Ration?the last a skit in which Ban and Boutros-Ghali play Congolese refugees trying to figure out who consumed their relief supplies. Among the shows most popular recent additions is Bolton Hits The Streets, a remote segment in which former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton travels across the globe and offers his acerbic take on literacy rates, agricultural development, and various cultural celebrations, typically signing off with his catchphrase Whats this world coming to? While several U.N. Tonight! staff members described Ban as distant and unapproachable off camera, noting that he rarely attends rehearsals and since 2006 has been engaged in a highly public feud with comedian Kathy Griffin, they all agreed that once the 68-year-old South Korean politician takes the stage, he is an extremely talented performer who lives to make people laugh. Its hard work putting on a new show every night, but luckily Bans array of ambassador impressions and his improv background gives us a lot to work with, said head writer Mike Greene, who previously wrote for the daytime talk show Angela, hosted by German chancellor Angela Merkel. Ban gives it his all when hes in front of the audience, and at the end of the day, he puts on a great show and brings in solid ratings, especially with the 35-to-60-year-old refugee demographic. Though unfortunately were still trailing The Night Watch With Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Greene added. Those guys always kill us. 
2	What Obama Was Just Spotted Doing Right After Destroying Our Relationship With Israel Will Make You Sick Last week, President Barack Obama outraged the nation when he effectively ruined the United States relationship with Israel by throwing out our countrys veto and allowing the United Nations to condemn the West Bank settlers. As he was destroying our bond with a country that was once one of our closest allies, Obama continued his multi-million dollar vacation to Hawaii. Yesterday morning, ABC News spotted Obama leaving the mansion his family rented in Kailua for 17 days to head to the gym for a casual workout. His taxpayer-funded motorcade was spotted entering the Marine Corps Base Hawaii just minutes later. If his past vacations are any signal, Obama will spend the rest of his lavish vacation playing golf with his friends and dining out at top restaurants with his family. For a man who has been deemed the worst foreign policy president in our nations historyhe doesnt seem to have a care in the world. This report comes shortly after it was revealed that Obama has spent $85 million in U.S. tax dollars on his past vacations and traveling expenses since he took office. According to Judicial Watch, the Obamas have spent at least $10 million on travel each year since theyve been in the White House. 
2	Marine Sends Brutal Open Letter To Michelle Obama Throughout both of Barack Obamas presidencies, he and Michelle have tried to convince our men and women in uniform that they actually care about the people that are fighting for our country. But those who are actually out on the field know that the Obamas are more than willing to turn a blind eye. In fact, the only way that Obamas have actually tried to relate to our Marines is by claiming that they somehow know their hardship first-handthough neither one of them have ever worn a uniform. Now, one Marine is speaking out against Michelle Obama, and his letter to her is quickly going viral. Read it below and tell us what you think. Mrs. Obama, It sickens me that I have to take time to write you this letter. I am a Marine who doesnt recognize color because every color has lived and died for you. You live in a free country to blame your life on the color of another mans skin. All colors have given their lives for an educated woman to have the freedom to be so ignorant. I dont blame black people for the ignorance that comes from your mouth. I love all colors because I love all that God creates. I dont have to like you to love you because we cant always like the ones we love. Just because I dont like you today doesnt mean I cant like you tomorrow. I dont like you or your husband today because of what youre doing to this country. Isnt it funny how the truth always reveals itself in time. You and your husband never showed this side of yourselves in 2008 before he was elected. You both live better than 99% of the people in this world because of this country. You said that you are for the first time proud to be an American. Well, I will tell you that most of us are ashamed of you. You and your husband have become millionaires off the people of this country, but demonstrate very little appreciation for all that we give. White, black, brown or indifferent millions have fought and died for you to have the freedom to say the ignorant things you say. You are educated, but clearly have very little common sense. You blame past generations of Americans for the troubles of a few. Stop blaming white people for your misery and take a look at yourself in the mirror. We are responsible for our own happiness and misery. The KKK is ignorance wrapped in a sheet while the Black panthers are raised on ignorance and hate. No different from the teaching of Islam thinking their race is better than all other men. God is love and creates every color to include everyones skin. To truly love God is to love all that He loves. For that I love each of you and pray that we all start taking responsibility for our own damned sins. Martin Luther King had a dream that we would all live in the promise land. He is not remembered for being black. He is remembered for the love, and character he had within his heart. If you dont like this country get on that plane and never come back. I will stay here and love all Americans, regardless of skin. I will love the beauty of what God created and stand tall with my American friends. Not because of their color but for the character and love they carry within. This country doesnt owe you anymore than it owes me. So many have thanked me for my service and I will always be grateful. I pray that one day you and your husband might cause me to be grateful for yours. You will never be remembered as the First Lady of Color but soon forgotten after you leave the White House. You nor your husband shall ever divide us. I wish you no harm, but pray you will take your troubles to a land you no longer hate. Hate shall come and go but His love shall last forever. If you wish to find me Twitter @mshep08_mike God bless you and Semper Fi 
2	White House Outraged As Malia Obama Is Sexualized Online With Pictures First Daughter Malia Obama has had a tough week in the media. It started with the attacks from former GOP staffer Elizabeth Lauten, continued with NFL star Darnell Dockett, and ultimately resulted in rumors that the 16-year-old was pregnant. Lauten was criticized for publically slamming Malia and her sister Sasha (13), for their behavior and wardrobe during Obamas Thanksgiving speech. The girls were both wearing short skirts during the television broadcast. Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at the bar, Lauten wrote of the first Daughters. Next, NFL star Darnell Docket came under fire when he posted a sexual image of Malia online with a caption that read When is her prom? The picture was focused on the First Daughters behind, and Dockett was forced to make a public apology for sexualizing an underage girl. Further, rumors have been surfacing that Malia was in her second trimester of pregnancy. The White House instantly slammed the rumor, claiming that it was false. What do you think about the rumors around Malia Obama? Should the media be protecting her as a minor? 
1	Friends of area man Nick Overbeck confirmed today that the 26-year-olds mother has been absolutely ripping it up on Facebook over the past four hours and shows no signs of slowing down. Man, look at her goshes friending people left and right and just liking the shit out of everything she sees, said friend Alan Gerard, noting that Nicks mom had left a pretty insane string of comments on other peoples statuses over the previous 90 minutes. And shes going absolutely balls to the wall posting family photos and scam alerts. Christ, shes really going for it, isnt she? At press time, sources confirmed that Nicks mother had learned how to use the chat feature and was carrying on six simultaneous conversations like a goddamn madman. 
1	In response to shifting demographics, MTV announced a major change in the station's format Monday. Older-audience favorites such as Art Nunckmueller's Bass Fishing All Stars and Ballroom Memories, formerly the cornerstone of MTV's programming, will be replaced by programs geared toward a younger audience. 'We believe the over-50 market has been saturated by cable TV,' MTV head of programming Stan Goldberg said. 'It's high time someone offered programming for the 17 to 24 crowd.' Some of the new shows planned include reruns of Dick Clark's American Bandstand and Christian Teen Talk with Father Ben Kendall. 
2	Donald Trump Will Not Back Down Over Muslim Ban Comments At GOP Debate [VIDEO] Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump initially became the GOP frontrunner for speaking his mind. He has maintained this position for standing behind his comments, no matter what criticism he faces from the left or other candidates. In the debate this week, Trump defended his extraordinarily controversial proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from entering U.S. borders. We are not talking about isolation, were talking security, Trump asserted. Were not talking about religion, were talking about security. This was a welcomed response by the many Americans who feel that Obama and other candidates are willing to put American safety on the backburner in order to make friends. Our country is out of control, Trump concluded, referring to the large number of Syrian migrants as tens of thousands of people with cell phones with ISIS flags on them. Watch this controversial clip from the debate below, and tell us what you think. Do you support Trump? 
3	DoD Employs Blackwater For Stability Operations in Foreign NationsSusanne Posel, Contributor Speaking at the International Stability Operations Association Summit (ISOA), James Schear, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for partnership strategy and stability operations, explained that the DSG is explicitly directed at building the security capacity of others. Those in attendance of the 2012 ISOA Summit were private security firms, non-governmental organizations and government sector representatives. The ISOA is a non-profit trade association that was a collaboration of the US government and corporations to support the military-industrial complex. They have a specific focus on disaster relief in America; however they have been used to facilitate strategies which pre-determine military influence abroad. Doug Brooks, president of the ISOA expounds that for almost ten years [the ISOA] have grown as the ethical core of a unique and valuable international resource. Stability operations are defined as military operations in civilian environments, include many missions, among them peace operations, combating terrorism, counterdrug operations, population security and nation assistance. However, they are also known as crisis initiation in that they are manufactured operations instilled in foreign nations to destabilize those current governments and replace them with a more US-friendly faction. The UN Security Council has authorized the use of stability operations in conjunction with military action in Libya to force national combat operations in tandem US interests in the occupied country. NATO Forces are currently exploring unconventional funding for their operations in occupying sovereign nations under the inception of a newly formed task force. In Syria, stability operations are being used as evidenced by the US-support of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) with a combination of resources such as weaponry provided by Saudi Arabia, telecommunications technology provided by funding from the UK and US, and the use of veteran Blackwater agents. The CIA-trained terrorist faction al-Qaeda is also being engaged to ensure that the FSA is successful in bringing down the Syrian government for the benefit of US interests. Many oil-producing nations such as Saudi Arabia, the US, the UK, Japan and Kuwait have pledged $165 million to fund an initiative of the World Bank that will prop up countries that have been affected by manufactured Arab Spring uprisings. The World Bank defines civil society as being transformed by what they refer to as perfect opportunities to stabilize the economy of a nation in terms of bringing them to the whims of the international community by way of unpayable loans within a volatile revolutionary setting. In 2011, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper asserted that international aid to post-revolutionary countries should be facilitated by the central banks in those countries and announced at a G8 summit that Canada would not be directly offering financial assistance to those countries implanted with Arab Springs. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has made use of Arab Springs his top priority and is committing the resources of the international community to moving these nations toward democracy. Schear goes on to say that: While were seeking to rebalance toward the Asia-Pacific region while maintaining our emphasis on the Middle East, as we must, were also viewing security cooperation as a way to sustain our defense commitments within Europe and partnerships across all regions. The DoD is seeking out private sector corporations because they have connections culturally and can be technologically innovative beyond the US armed forces which is a priceless asset when carrying out a stabilization operation. Expansion of the US military can include association with locals who can lead the soldiers to operate in diverse cultural environments. Citing Iraq and Afghanistan, Schear asserts that the US armed forces partnering with private sector corporations can pacify the population so that the US State Department and other government agencies can operate without threat of conflict. With the assistance of the ISOA in Afghanistan, private security firms are used to safeguard US Embassies, international military convoys, non-governmental organizations and media companies. Afghani President Hamid Karzai asserts that these ISOA-sponsored corporations are undermining the Afghani governments armed forces and breaking the law. According to the Afghan Governments Private Security Company Bridging Strategy document, the reconstruction of Afghanistan under control of the US and their employed security firms is tantamount to warlords working to ensure that the central governmental power remains under the governance of the United States. In the US State Department Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR) document, there is a preference for private sector corporations deployment to ensure cost-effective assistance to US governmental representatives; as well as allies and partners will see increasing needs for private-sector expertise and capabilities in areas such as improving governance, monitoring tenuous situations, and providing an immediate-response capability. Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State, said that if the US is going to lead in this new century, we must often lead in new ways. Infiltrating with fake revolutions, destabilizing nations, installing mercenary security firms to control the populations of those countries, and putting a pre-determined patsy into power are the latest in the arsenal of the Zionist-controlled United States.

2	Obama Is Panicking To Pull This Move Over The American People Before His Term Is Up Barack Obama only has a few weeks left before he will be forced out of the White House once and for all. In his last days as president, Obama has been frantically trying to protect his legacyaware of the fact Trump intends to overturn many of his corrupt executive orders. Daily Mail reported that Obama has been planning to give a valedictory speech in Chicago just before he turns the presidency over to Trump. He is hoping to use the speech to defend Obamacare, which Republicans are working to repeal. Obama is scheduled to travel to the Capitol on Wednesday to meet with House and Senate Democrats about their efforts to protect the Affordable Care Act before Republicans have a chance to settle on their own plan to get of it. The January 10th address will likely be the last time Obama speaks to the American people as president. His speech will be followed by a family reunion for those who have served on Obamas campaigns. Unfortunately, theres nothing he can do to save Obamacare. Trump has repeatedly promised to overturn the elements of Obamacare that arent working. 
1	In a personnel move expected to save the company $17 a day, Cyntrel Fiberoptics replaced longtime Manpower temp worker Paulette Riordan with lower-paid MetroTemp employee Don Sendelbach. 'Paulette was a familiar face in this office who we all very much liked,' departmental supervisor William Youmans said. 'But with the economy the way it is, tough decisions sometimes have to be made. Don's really learning the ropes well.' Riordan's plans for the future include calling Manpower to inquire about openings in other offices. 
2	Chaos Ensues After Muslim Woman Calls Christian Preacher An Insulting Name [VIDEO] In a recent video, a Christian preacher is shown preaching on a college campus when he is confronted by an angry Muslim student. The preacher claims that he simply believes in something different than what she does. He goes on to claim that one of them must be wrong. That statement (although true), sends the female student into a discriminatory rant. The video shows the girl calling the preacher stupid and telling him that he represents everything wrong with Christianity. Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

3	Fish Oil Fatty Acids Are So Protective, They Resist ChemotherapyResearchers caution against the use of these fish oils, while undergoing chemo Researchers have noticed that certain compounds make chemotherapy drugs less lethal towards the target. Are these substances protecting the tumor or strengthening the body to point it pushes away chemotherapy? Emile E. Voest, M.D., Ph.D., of the Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam, and others examined exposure to the fatty acid 16:4(n-3) after eating fish or taking fish oil.Their research was published online by JAMA Oncology. The authors examined the rate of fish oil use among patients undergoing cancer treatment, while researchers also recruited healthy volunteers to examine blood levels of the fatty acid after ingestion of fish oils and fish. The fish oil portion included 30 healthy volunteers and the fish portion included 20 healthy volunteers. Among 118 cancer patients who responded to a survey about the use of nutritional supplements, 35 (30 percent) reported regular use and 13 (11 percent) used supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids, according to the results. The study found increased blood levels of the fatty acid 16:4(n-3) [thats a shorthand denotation for this particular type of acid] in healthy volunteers after the recommended daily amount of 10 mL of fish oil was administered. An almost complete normalization of blood levels was seen eight hours after the 10-mL fish oil dose was given, while a more prolonged elevation resulted after a 50-mL dose. Eating 100 grams of herring and mackerel also increased blood levels of 16:4(n-3) compared with tuna, which did not affect blood levels. Salmon only created a small, short-lived peak. The study concludes: Taken together, our findings are in line with a growing awareness of the biological activity of various fatty acids and their receptors and raise concern about the simultaneous use of chemotherapy and fish oil. Based on our findings, and until further data become available, we advise patients to temporarily avoid fish oil from the day before chemotherapy until the day thereafter. If you read the actual study, you find the studied fatty acid was previously found to activate splenic macrophages (leading to resistance to chemotherapy in mouse models.) Powerful enough to neutralize chemo? Stimulate macrophages? Thats incredible! Macrophages, which literally means big eaters, are a type of white blood cell that are crucial to cancer prevention by engulfing junk. They up the immune response, recruit other immune cells, but can also reduce inflammation by releasing cytokines. It sounds like it might compete with chemo for receptor sites too, and that the health-boosting benefits also reduce the efficacy of chemotherapy. How tragic that what appears to be a phenomenal discovery is shrouded in a caution to avoid during chemo, but understandably so, considering the end goal of chemo. If undergoing allopathic (conventional Western) methods alone or with alternative methods, definitely discuss what youre doing with your doctor and follow directions because everyone needs to have an understanding. Not doing so could cause harm. It would be like taking taking mega-doses of probiotics while taking antibiotics in order to be healthy, but not realizing that they have just canceled each other out. Now neither have worked and the person has just taken antibiotics for nothing. The doctor unwittingly thinks the person is on the road to recovery and that the antibiotic has wiped everything out. In other words, this article is in no way recommending going against that advice. However, this discovery leads one to ponder if herring and mackerel would make a wonderful preventative food for even more reasons than previously understood. Modern fish oil isnt always as advertised and there are multiple, simultaneous fish scandals afoot. While its the mackerel and herring that provide the particular fatty acid studied above, people interested in fish oil might want to try fermented cod liver oil. If interested in non-fishy Omega-3s to fight inflammation, consider grinding flax seed or my personal favorite Black Current Seed Oil. Please research it, its my go-to for Omega-3s, the nervous system, GLA, hormones, heart, immunity, skin, nails and connective tissues.

1	Clad in their ceremonial red, white, and blue vestments, the six podium boys of the U.S. Congress impressively performed the age-old ritual of helping the president prepare for his State of the Union address, Capitol Hill sources confirmed Tuesday evening. 'It's a big responsibility for any youngster, but these whip-smart kids didn't miss a beat,' said House Sergeant at Arms Paul D. Irving, describing how the podium servers helped the president into his traditional bespoke-tailored suit and pinned the mandatory America flag pin onto his lapel. 'I'm completely confident these boys will perform just as ably as they assist Mr. Obama during his grand procession into the chamber, kneel to present photocopies of the speech to the vice president and House speaker, and manually scroll through each page of the address on the teleprompter. I have to confess, this all takes me backI was a podium boy for Harry S. Truman, you know.' Despite a pat on the head and the offer of a nickel, the podium boys, bound by sacred oaths, would not disclose to reporters whether the president would be wearing a red or a blue tie. 
3	San Bernardino Shooting Parallels Recent Oregon College MassacreBy Niles and Frasier Mercado The amount of shootings nationally has been steadily declining, even if you choose to include the shooting hoaxes the media has been sensationalizing as real events. Reality is just not that interesting. If it werent for the hoaxes (increasing in frequency), there would not be enough fodder for the national media to create an anti-gun narrative. In Orwells 1984, the government controlled the range of thought by limiting vocabulary; today, the American government eliminates certain thoughts by associating them with the last fake shooter. People are left with the remaining viewpoints that have not been eliminated. It is guilt by artificial association. The fake motives of fake perpetrators of fake tragedies provide the government with REAL justification to REALLY target REAL and innocent people, here and abroad. Lets run through some recent examples: 1) The supposed Oregon Shooter, Chris Harper Mercer, is said to have had Sandy Hook hoax videos on his MySpace page. Translation: anybody who expresses interest in these staged shootings must be the next shooter! This is the message the government-media complex wants to convey. Any glaring evidence associated with Sandy Hook being a complete hoax is thus quickly discredited (since they used another hoax shooting to associate such investigative instincts with murderous intent). Mercers mother is presented as having pro-gun social media posts for the very same reason: pro-gun equals parent of sociopath (when the opposite is true). This is the dumbed down twisted math used in New World Order propaganda. 2) Planned Parenthood shooting hoax was meant to associate homicidal violence with anti-abortion perspectives. If you happen to be against abortion, well then you must be the type who kills innocent people (I know the irony is heavy on that one). 3) The recent fake shootings in San Bernardino and Paris, France villainize Islamic people, implicate ISIS (or ISIL) and lay the groundwork for war with Syria and other countries in the Levant region. Doubtless these two recent shootings will result in some military action in the Middle East the same way that 9/11 was used to instigate an invasion of Afghanistan, the 7/7 bombings were used to justify Englands unpopular military involvement in Iraq, or the Gulf of Tonkin incident was orchestrated to justify a war in Vietnam. The desired reaction of the public to these incidents is decided before they are faked, then after the event the media gets to work cultivating this reaction from the public so that they will accept the solution the government is dying to roll out. The media is so effective as the mouthpiece for the government that the public will end up begging for the governments medicine. How do you spot when a shooting is real or when it is just another shooting hoax? The following are some tell-tale anomalies common to staged shooting hoax events: 1) FAKE CRYING FROM CRISIS ACTORS: People deal with grief in various different ways. If family members of people in danger were not crying at all, that would be COMPLETELY understandable. On the other hand, these fake shootings display crisis actors who FAKE CRYING, making the sounds and movements of a person crying, only without the tears. Any police detective worth his salt would take note of something like this suspicious behavior. Figure 1: Wiping Away Imaginary Tears In San Bernardino, California Olivia Navaro waits for her daughter and wipes away fake tears from dry eyes. 2) LACK OF PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE: We saw that with the Oregon Shooting, cell phones were confiscated from the students of Umpqua which is why we have yet to see pictures or video coming from the students there. However, we should at least see official photos from law enforcement, shouldnt we!? We are all familiar with crime scene images with quarters or dollar bills laid down for size perspective (when CSI folks are short on official size rulers) and gettingmeticulous photos of every bullet, every victim and any other item that might turn out to be remotely important. But where is all of this with the Oregon Shooting? Originally the shooters of the San Bernardino Hoax were supposed to have had GoPro cameras, thereby capturing the gruesome affair on video. I even found myself wondering if actual hard evidence was going to come out on this shooting (after all eventually an actual unplanned real shooting will take place). However, this became yet another part of the every changing story that even the news media had to admit was untrue. In fact the only actual video footage of anything even close to the actual event in San Bernardino we could find was the following: http://www.jeranism.com/#brid_cp_Brid_49262352662189279 This video taken by a person in the San Bernardino recreation center did manage to leak online. It shows people being lead out of the facility with their hands above their heads. This video is somewhat of an anomaly. It should be noted that it has not been broadcast on television and has repeatedly been taken down from YouTube (hence the jeranism.com link). That said this video doesnt show anyone actually injured, no one deceased, no blood or evidence of blood, no bullets or bullet holes keep in mind many of these things can be faked but in this case they arent even bothering. Similar to the Boston Bombings, the media and government can simply say someone is guilty and show some stills or footage that is not at all incriminating and the public will nod their head and yell go get em. Innocent until proven guilty has all but evaporated from the public consciousness. 3) LACK OF BLOOD: In the Oregon Shooting and San Bernardino Shooting Hoax, we saw people being carried out on gurneys, but no evidence of blood. Blood is somewhat hard to fake: it gushes, it grows, it makes puddles. In time it coagulates and changes color. Blood that is shiny initially quickly becomes dull. In the Recent Paris shooting, one of the shooters was supposedly shot to death, but did not bleed. At all. See for yourself this striking direct evidence that the Paris Shooting is a complete hoax (footage is voiced over by the always-colorful Redsilverj): https://vid.me/YZaw 4) LACK OF DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE: This will become more apparent as the weeks / months / years wear on. We saw in the years after Sandy Hook, the death certificates of the victims, the supposed shooter, even his mother (who supposedly was murdered a day before the shooting), have all been suppressed (or simply dont exist). NEVER SEEN! Not to mention the 911 calls and autopsy reports. To this day, the number of people murdered in Newtown, Connecticut is officially ZERO (according to FBI statistics). 5) TIES TO THE MILITARY: In the Oregon Shooting the shooter (Chris Mercer) had supposedly been honorably discharged from the Army. Chris Mintz, the famous million-dollar-fake-shooting-victim was on leave from the Army. In San Bernardino one of the supposed shooters brothers was in the military. This may sound like a reasonable expectation; a certain portion of the overall population IS in the military after all. And maybe it stands to reason that ex-military personnel would be more likely to shoot a bunch of people randomly (especially if you lean left). However, if in San Bernardino the male shooter is supposed to have been some Islamic extremist, isnt it somewhat odd that his brother is a member of the American military? 6) EERILY SIMILAR SIMULTANEOUS DRILLS: At the same time as the San Bernardino Shooting was supposed to have been taking place, there was a SWAT team that was running active shooter drills nearby the San Bernardino community center (where the shooting was staged). In fact, this was the reason given for their quick arrival (making this part of the official story). In Oregon the Principal of the Umpqua Community College claimed they had an active shooter drill a week prior to the shooting. In April and May of 2015, in Roseburg, Oregon, the Douglas County Emergency Management team hosted several drills with innocuous sounding names like Intermediate Incident for Expanding Incidents and Command System 400 for Advanced. These smaller drills are reminiscent of the much larger exercise referred to as Abel Danger during 9/11 which was nearly identical to the 911 hijacked plane scenario that we saw play out. Whats It Mean? Obviously no amount of snarky TV ads was going to turn America against guns. Anti-gun staged events are needed so that the government-media complex has an excuse to dominate news cycle after news cycle. These staged shooting productions would get a film director permanently banished from Hollywood but they are good enough when you have the news media presstitutes at your disposal.

Is that your only argument- calling people names? I was highly skeptical of it too because were all preprogrammed to reject it as being ridiculous. You really should look at the arguments/evidence for a flat earth. I havent decided yet but am highly curious now. He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him (Proverbs 18:13). Seriously? If you look out to sea with a good telescope at a distant ship, then you will notice the lower half of the ship is obscured by the curvature of the ocean. Also, if the Earth was flat, then you would be able to see the land on the other side of the ocean with a telescope. And, if you have ever spoken on the telephone to a person on the other side of the planet, and they told you it was the middle of the night over there, but for you it is the middle of the day that would not happen if the world was flat. Questioning everything is good, but sometimes the answer is so obvious that you can probably move on. Actually some of those points have been address by those who believe in a flat earth. From what Im gathering from their model the sun still makes a circuit around the flat plane. Ill look into it though. Not convinced yet but am open. I know the moon landing footage was a hoax. Its not acceptable to say that you have another explanation, if that explanation is it works by magic because that doesnt compete with an explanation that you can observe yourself, which follows exactly the currently understood laws of physics. And you are probably wrong about the moon landing. I honestly have been looking into it a whole lot. I had to think twice about a few points flat earthers bring up, but none of it holds water when truly scrutinized (kinda the way they think a sphere earth wouldnt hold water) The same goons that perceive, and are triggered by micro-aggressions, will not acknowledge the micro-expressions of duping delight. Isaiah 2: I watched Flat Earth 101 but not the Dummies version. Well, do yourself a favor. Its hilarious 
3	Non-Participation As An Effective Weapon Against TyrannyBrandon Smith The American rebellion against the British monarchy was not an abrupt or immediate affair. Anger and unrest over the trespasses of King George simmered for decades. The first British troops stationed with the intent to stifle colonial freedoms arrived in Massachusetts in 1768. The Boston Massacre took place in 1770, and still, the Founders refused to leap into open retaliation. Lexington Green and the shot heard around the world did not take place until April 19, 1775. The Revolution took years to culminate into an actual physical war. So what did the colonists do in the meantime? Sit on their hands? In fact, early Americans employed economic tactics against their enemy long before they picked up muskets and powder. British imports were turned away or destroyed. Clothing and other items normally shipped from Europe to be sold in the colonies were boycotted, while colonists began producing all of their own survival necessities. They refused to participate in the system that was designed to enslave them and this gave them a foundation on which to launch their eventual fight for liberty. Without efforts in economic independence, the American Revolution may not have ever taken place. I always recall this example whenever I am confronted with a Gung-ho liberty movement activist who demands to know when we are going to do something about criminal government. Or, when I am confronted by nihilists who proclaim that we should have pulled the trigger long ago, and now it is too late to do anything. The Founders had the same doubts and faced the same naysayers, and had the wisdom to act with the correct force at the correct moment. Sadly, one of the greatest threats to the American public in 2013 is the possibility that our government will cut off public access to Federal funds. Our society has become so addicted to government tainted money that up to one third of the country relies on some form of paycheck or welfare from the system. If the system breaks, or is deliberately sabotaged, the sickening level of citizen dependency today makes catastrophe inevitable. The most interesting aspect of the current shut-down situation is the fear it is generating, and the partisan fury it facilitates. Republicans and Democrats are nearly ready to tear each others throats out all over the continuance or non-continuance of a political body that no longer functions anyway and has become a middle-man for global banks. This interests me because it is an entirely solvable problem, yet the average American appears completely ignorant of the fix. Most people are either ready to riot, ready to undermine themselves with bad legislation or a Constitutional Convention, ready for a military coup (another idiotic idea the elites would enjoy), or they have become despondent and uselessly morose, when all they really have to do is consider that perhaps they should not be so dependent on such an unstable economic structure or political dynamic in the first place. The real power is in OUR hands, and has always been in our hands. Federal welfare, and the idea of the loving provider nanny state are the great illusions. The idea of barreling head first to topple this soulless machine, though satisfying to consider, is also inadequate. A more rounded strategy is required The mindless drive for infinite spending often associated with the Left is a recipe for utter fiscal disaster in the form of suffocating liabilities, massive deficits, and a hyperinflated dollar. But,the mainstream Republican notion that there will be no consequences if debt default occurs is equally foolish. I have been astounded by wild assertions from the GOP that American tax revenues will be more than enough to cover interest payments on U.S. debts. There are many conservatives and Liberty Movement analysts that should know better than to use official Treasury Department interest numbers and debt numbers to support their arguments. Given that the real U.S. National debt including entitlement programs is estimated at around $200 trillion, and real deficit figures stand at around $5 trillion per year, Im wondering how anyone in their right mind could claim that annual tax revenues of $2.5 trillion (2012 direct revenue numbers) could possibly cover foreign interest payments on top of existing liabilities? A massive piece of flesh has to be taken somewhere, and the U.S. financial system is on life support already. The no-worries default theory does not take into account the fact that median household incomes have been dropping every year for the past five years, thus continuously diminishing tax revenue opportunities. It does not take into account the massive spike in interest payments that would come with a foreign sell-off of U.S. Treasury debt. It does not take into account the possibility that foreign creditors might refuse to accept payments on interest in U.S. dollars (as creditors refused to take German Marks as payment during their hyperinflationary collapse). Nor does it take into account the eventual loss of international faith in the dollar as the world reserve currency, which would rain havoc down upon the U.S. populace in the form of dollar devaluation and exploding prices on every commodity imaginable. Think this cannot or will not happen? The Chinese are now openly calling for it to happen! There is a false notion floating around alternative economic circles that a default is caused only by the refusal of a nation to pay the interest on existing debt obligations, and that these debt obligations are somehow static and predictable. In fact, a default also takes place when Treasury bonds (consider the vast sums of short-term bonds circulating in foreign coffers) are unexpectedly liquidated by creditors and the debtor nation does not honor them in full. Greece went through a similar haircut process, though the domestic and global effects are limited because they do not suffer the distinction of holding the world reserve currency. The U.S. does carry that distinction, and with it comes danger. America has only defaulted on debt payment once during the time in which the dollar ascended as the world reserve, in 1979. This was a technical default the government blamed on an organizational error, and was extremely short lived. Never has the U.S. gone into full default mode while holding world reserve currency status. Lets not delude ourselves, fellow conservatives. There is a steep price to be paid for debt default. I fully agree that mathematical reality requires our nations government to end its fiscal spending obsession, and if that means we suffer a painful withdrawal, then so be it. Obama cultists dont seem to grasp that this event is inevitable anyway. However, attempting to gloss over the consequences will only make it easier for the mainstream media to demonize us later down the road as the cause of the coming catastrophe. There is no way around it. There is no magical silver bullet solution to avoid the pain. We will have to take our medicine, one way or the other Fantasies of a serene default scenario are luring many conservatives into a false sense of security which distracts them from preparation. Never assume we are destined for the best possible outcome. Always assume the shark circling you in the water sees you as dinner. Whether the White House gets its way, or no-one gets his way and the whole debacle eventually ends in default (which has been my personal prediction since the debate began). Americas economy will face the same destruction on only slightly different timetables. As I pointed out in my last article, The Possible Outcomes Of The Shutdown Theater, the only conceivable winners will be international banks, who can play the market and bleed it dry based merely on what their politician friends tell the media on any given day, and who ultimately WANT to dismantle the United States, our economy, our sovereignty and our Constitution to make way for a new global financial edifice. If there is no way for the average American to win this game because the rules have been written by our opponent, then perhaps we should stop playing the game altogether. This means millions of Americans must actively pursue a more independent standard of living. This means each and every person must learn to provide all of their own survival necessities, including food, water, shelter, energy and self defense. This means growing a well-planned garden and educating ones self on raising livestock. This means learning a valuable trade skill that is useful and always sought after regardless of the state of the mainstream economy. This means striving for off-grid status and cutting ties to electric, gas, and water utility companies. This means training to keep ones self and ones family safe in an atmosphere of violence where state sanctioned law enforcement may not be present to protect you. This means building relationships within ones neighborhood, town or county that allow for proactive organization without the oversight of government. This means providing your own community safety and disaster response without the aid of FEMA. This means establishing alternative local trade (like a barter market) that is NOT dependent on the Internet or any other government watched and regulated network. This means refusing to follow the mandatory directives of Obamacare. This means removing your children from federally funded and dictated schools. This means divorcing yourself completely from government. There are those within the Liberty Movement that are working to make it easier for regular people to transition away from the mainstream, providing outlets for education and organization for those seeking more independence through non-participation. My own website, www.Alt-Market.com, is geared towards helping people network for barter and mutual aid at the local level. Oath Keepers, a Constitutional organization of veterans, currently serving military, police, firefighters and concerned civilians, has just launched its Civilization Preservation Program. It is designed to set up highly adaptable training groups across the U.S. who will teach any interested citizens within their community the survival methods needed to endure disaster, whether natural or man-made, as well as how to rebuild as the storm subsides. If one is dependent on a tyrant, one cannot hope to defeat that tyrant. The reason so many people are afraid of the results of government shutdown and debt default is because so many people refuse to step away from the system. The reason so many people are afraid to fight back is because they have seen the establishment as their source of income for so long. If more Americans were self-reliant, if more Americans were willing to give up free goodies from the state, if more Americans built their own economic foundations, a collapse of our financial structure would be meaningless. We could simply sit back comfortably and let it die, for why would we care about the funeral pyre of a vicious and reckless political/corporate suicide train? As things stand at this moment, though, the death of the system is not something to cheer, no matter how much we might wish it to crumble under the weight of its own criminality. The collapse of the existing system will not be the end of our troubles, only the beginning. Chaos always opens doors for evil men, and they will certainly take full advantage of the chaos triggered by shutdown, default or continued inflationary debt spending. We must make ourselves ready to resist by making ourselves separate from the monster we plan to fight. Crisis waits for no one, and on the path our nation now walks, crisis is assured.

3	Big Banks Hiring Former Spies to Snoop on EmployeesBy Everett Numbers Every move bank employees make is likely being monitored by former military intelligence or CIA and GCHQ members, or even computer algorithms, according to a Bloombergreport based on interviews withmore than a dozen recruiters, bank executives and compliance officers. HSBC, Deutsche Bank, and JP Morgan Chase Co. were listed among the too-big-to-fail banks monitoring everything from cigarette breaks to text message metadata. In a January interview, Deutsche Bank Co-Chief Executive Officer John Cryan toldBloomberg the business of banking was being balanced with new policing duties necessary for preventing heavy regulatory fines. We want to be able to identify any potential issues before they turn into anything troubling, Bryon Linnehan, a veteran military intelligence officer who honed his skills in Iraq for two years before joining Barclays last May, told Bloomberg. Last year, Barclays was fined $2.2 billion for its role in the Libor scandal, where six banks manipulated foreign exchange rates. Total fines for all the institutions involved amounted to nearly $6 billion. Chris Mathers, a former Canadian police officer turned bank consultant, sees the regulator as the biggest threat to banks today, the absolute biggest threat, according to Bloomberg. The surveillance levied against bank employees can be comprehensive, including monitoring behavioral patterns both online and off. Web browsing history, especially to gambling sites or others that pay out for accurate event predicting also known as spread-betting can prompt further investigation just as easily as an employees movements to certain parts of the office building. Vacation frequency, and even too much persistent financial success, can also raise suspicions. Military-intelligence people are used to parsing partial bits of data from communications, from behaviors, and putting those together in a way that would predict the next terrorist attack or some other type of much more horrible thing than were dealing with, Ben Bair, global head of whistleblowing and investigations at Barclays in London, toldBloomberg. And thats what we need to take surveillance to the next level. This article (Big Banks Hiring Former Spies to Snoop on Employees) is free and open source.

3	New Patent Aims to Prevent 3D Printers From Creating Restricted ItemsJG Vibes As I discussed last week the goal of restricting this technology is to keep industries cartelized and prevent the average person from gaining too much independence through these devices. A new patent, issued this week by the U.S. Patent Trademark Office titled Manufacturing control system aims to do just that. Although it was issued this week it was actually filed way back in 2007, so it seems that they have working on this for some time. The patent describes a system where the owners of 3D printers or similar machines will have to obtain authorization before they are allowed to print certain items. The patent is registered to Intellectual Ventures, a patent-trolling company which is currently hoarding over 40,000 patents and is run by former Microsoft CTO Nathan Myhrvold. The primary goal of the system is to prevent people from printing objects using designs they havent paid for, and establishing what they call object production rights. Michael Weinberg is a staff lawyer at the nonprofit Public Knowledge who reviewed the patent for technology review and described it as very broad, saying that You load a file into your printer, then your printer checks to make sure it has the rights to make the object, to make it out of what material, how many times, and so on. Earlier this year the Pirate Bay announced that they were going to start featuring 3D print designs on their website, predicting that someday people would be able to print out anything from cars to food. They commented on their blog that Data objects are able (and feasible) to become physical. We believe that things like three dimensional printers, scanners and such are just the first step. We believe that in the nearby future you will print your spare parts for your vehicles. You will download your sneakers within 20 years. The Pirate Bay also believes that copying objects from digital to 3 dimensional form is going to be the next revolution in copying and literally bring a whole new dimension to the battle over intellectual property laws, and they are right. If given the ability to flourish and develop in every way possible, the millions of people who end up using this technology will be able to create amazing things that could reshape this world for the better in a short amount of time. So far, this technology has been used to replace bones and body parts in people, creating exoskeletons for children with congenital illnesses in order to help them walk, and it is even said that someday people will have the ability to print working human organs through cheap home devices. These are the kinds of wonderful things that the patent would be capable of preventing, because it even covers edible substances and biological matter like skin, for example. This kind of freedom and decentralization for manufacturing is a huge threat to the control structure, and many well-established industries threaten to lose their businesses to your average entrepreneur on the street. What we are seeing here is a traditional case of the candlemaker trying to prevent the discovery of electric light. The good news about this patent is that it is just an invention right now; there is nothing forcing any of these companies to use it. However, we already have mercantilist businesses pressuring government to stifle their competition, as we see with intellectual property and top-down regulation. Since 3D printers are promising to shake up the marketplace in a way that has not been seen in generations, it seems probable that these kinds of restrictions would be forced on the general public through legislation. Luckil, as with the current intellectual property battles, the technology seems to be many steps ahead of the people who are trying to keep a lid on it, but to stay ahead it will be necessary for people to resist these suffocating policies in every way possible.

1	Health experts have long known that drinking red wine can have such positive benefits as reducing blood vessel damage, lowering the risk of heart attack, and preventing harmful LDL cholesterol from forming. But researchers at the Northwestern University Department of Preventive Medicine have recently found that the consumption of four to six glasses of red wine, most notably at dinner or a family function, may be linked to totally going off on one's mom. According to a study published Monday in The American Journal Of Medicine, a previously unknown ingredient in red wine has been shown to cause a marked improvement of vocal clarity and emotional acuitywhile reducing overall inhibitionafter only four glasses. During routine trials, subjects who imbibed five glasses or more showed a remarkable increase in specific mental functions, such as the ability to recall every time their mothers had been unsupportive of their boyfriends or husbands. A striking reduction in the time needed to translate personal epiphanies into loud, public epiphanies was also noted. 'It seems the benefits of red wine consumption are virtually limitless,' said Dr. Susan Zheng, lead researcher on the study. 'Many were unable to recall a single time their mother had paid more attention to their sister's soccer games than to their starring role in the school play. But after drinking only one bottle of standard Merlot, these participants could not only remember, but could actually sing whole stretches of Annie Get Your Gun, even while sobbing. It's extraordinary.' Dr. Zheng explained that the 100 women who participated in the study were split into two groups. One group was seated at the end of a long dinner table and subjected to backhanded compliments about their housekeeping abilities while steadily imbibing 8-ounce glasses of Turning Leaf Cabernet. The other group, a control group, was allowed to celebrate the holidays at home. The positive effects of wine consumption were seen in as little as three hours, with 86 percent of participants showing greater resistance to unsolicited career advice, 77 percent displaying increased mental function in the area of the brain devoted to reminding you why Dad left you in the first place, and 60 percent demonstrating less concern to 'play this little happy-happy game anymore.' Subsequent tests revealed that, if the wine is consumed prior to dinner or on an empty stomach, the benefits are increased nearly tenfold. 'I highly suggest every woman between the ages of 21 and 39 allow a few glasses of wine to be a part of their healthy diet,' Dr. Zheng said before pouring herself the remains of an open bottle. 'But what do I know. I'm just the lead researcher for an entire team of Northwestern grad students who look to me for the answer because I'm their boss. All my achievements are irrelevant because I never had any kids, right, Mom? Right?' The long-term advantages of red wine consumption have also been noted among the well-adjusted and insightful people of France, where a bottle of claret is a regular part of mealtime from a much earlier age. In a recent survey conducted in the town of Saint-Florentin, researchers were unable to find a single person over the age of 20 who had not already reaped the benefits of letting loose on the soul-sucking banshee who brought you into this world just to torture you with endless comments about your hair and dress. However, medical experts are quick to point out that red wine is not, in itself, sufficient to promote a healthy psyche. Similar positive effects have been found in other food and drink items, such as White Russians, vodka tonics, Canadian Club whisky with flat ginger ale, and anything served at a wedding. 'Thus far, we have been unable to determine any negative effects of increased wine consumption,' said Dr. Hugh Van Pelt, also with the Northwestern team. 'Some women have reported feelings of nausea and headaches the following morning, but they said these feelings were no worse than the nausea and headaches they felt for the days leading up to the dinner, so the results are inconclusive.' The Northwestern team is currently in the process of securing funding to determine what ingredient in bourbon enables one to finally wrestle one's stepfather to the ground. 
2	The Animal Hidden In This Picture Is DECEIVING But A Hunter Can Spot It In 4 Seconds I have never personally been hunting in Africa but I have always wanted to. The animals that i would hunt are gazelles, zebras, and other like animals. I will not touch elephants because elephants are unbelievable. Did you know that elephants have an understanding of death? They have burial ceremonies and mourn their dead. They also have been know to communicate with groups of travelers by bringing gifts to them. Of course the gifts are leaves and branches, but to an elephant those things are amazing. Ill give you a hint. The animal in the picture is not an elephant. An elephant would be far to easy to spot. And in order to be camouflage the elephants surroundings would have to be black and white. The only time an elephant cant be noticed is if he is in a room. Oh wait, an elephant is always noticed when it is in a room. Have you spotted the animal yet? He is really hidden well in this picture. At first I didnt notice him, but then i took a step back and BAM there he was. It took me about 6 seconds to find him. Ill give you another hint. The animal is a tall guy who has his head in the clouds. He is super well hidden in the tall trees that he is eating. Id be surprised if a predator was bale to see him at that very moment. Okay its time for me to tell you where the animal is. He is on the right side of the picture. It is a tall giraffe! Who knew such a tall creature could be so well hidden! Did it take you longer than 4 seconds? 
3	Are Americans Catching On, Waking Up, Unplugging?Paul Craig Roberts A few members of Congress are also awake, but not very many. Indeed, we are losing two of the most aware Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul. Kucinich was redistricted in order to get rid of his independent voice. He carried 75% of the votes from that part of his old district that was included in his new one, but the new voters lacked the intelligence to vote for him. Ron Paul, in our time of tribulation, tried for the Republican presidential nomination on a platform of saving the US Constitution, but those who voted in Republican primaries werent interested in saving the US Constitution. Now we are down to US Rep. Walter Jones. Initially, Jones was a member of the warmonger crowd. He was angered when the French government cast doubt on the George W. Bush regimes reasons for the need for war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Jones said at that time that he was renaming French Fries Freedom Fries. This was too much for the awakened US Rep. Walter Jones. He has introduced House Congressional Resolution 107, which clearly states that the presidents use of US military in an act of aggression without the consent of Congress is an impeachable offense. There is absolutely no question whatsoever that Rep. Jones is correct. However, you can bet that the Obama regime already has a John Yoo-type hireling busy at work in the Department of Justice (sic) writing a legal memo that the US Constitution gives no authority to Congress to declare war. A person would think that members of Congress would flock to Rep. Jones resolution. After all, it is Congress own power that is on the line. Normally, organizations defend their own power. Strangely, the US Congress has not defended its power since Roosevelts New Deal in the 1930s. Because of the crisis of the Great Depression, Congress gave up its law-making powers to the executive agencies created by Roosevelt to run the country. Congress pretends to still be in control by having oversight over the ruling executive cabinet departments and agencies. Cabinet secretaries, assistant sectaries, and CIA directors have to go testify and be questioned before congressional committees and all that, like the Federal Reserve chairman who has unaccountable power over interest rates and inflation, but the laws are made by the executive branch. Ever since the 1930s, when Congress passes a law it is merely an authorization for some executive branch agency to define the law by writing the regulations. As the executive agency also enforces the regulations, we have the beginnings of tyranny as the same agency both makes the law and enforces it. (See, for example, Paul Craig Roberts and Lawrence M. Stratton, The Tyranny of Good Intentions, Ch. 11, Abdicating Legislative Power.) The roots of tyranny in america go back to the 1930s and even further back to President Lincoln. The decline of Congress, which was created by the Founding Fathers to be a powerful political institution, has been a long term process. However, in recent years the decline of Congress power and relevance has accelerated. The Democrats are as responsible for this as Republicans. If US law had been enforced, and Democrats could have enforced the law, George W. Bush and essentially the entirety of his appointees would be in federal prison. But the Democrats sacrificed the peoples power over government in order that the executive branch could protect us from a terrorism for which no evidence exists. No terrorist events have occurred since September 11, 2001, except for FBI orchestrated plots that never endangered the public. As for the governments 9/11 story, thousands of experts have their doubts. So, the US Constitution has simply been discarded on the basis of fear. First, the fear of the Great Depression, and secondly, the fear of Muslim Terrorism. The United States of America is the Constitution. If the Constitution no longer exists as an enforceable document taken seriously by political elites, the United States no longer exists. Some other entity has taken its place. Think about that. Describe to yourself the characteristics of this new entity. This will be easier for older people than for the young, who have been born into the new tyranny. For the young, tyranny is all they know. For the young, tyranny is normal. How old does a person have to be to remember when you boarded an airliner without any security? In previous columns I have pointed out the tiny, essentially insignificant infractions, that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon in order to avoid impeachment. Compared to Bush or Obama, Nixon was flawless in his observation of US law and the US Constitution. No one of my generation can possibly imagine Nixon saying that the UN could replace Congress authority to initiate war, or that he could strip US citizens of their liberty and lives on suspicion alone without evidence or due process of law, simply on the basis of executive decree. All Nixon did was to lie about when he learned of a burglary of which he had no prior knowledge and no involvement. The loss of our liberty is where we are today. Rep. Jones wants to retrieve Congress war-making power. He says that those americans who wish to support this goal should inform their Senators and Representative and local newspaper of this fact. He provides the telephone number of the congressional switchboard which can connect you to the three offices that, allegedly, represent you. The number is 202 224-3121. As you know, I keep trying, and so must we all. If we dont keep trying, it means we accept our loss of our liberty and accountable government. If we give in now, what was the point of resisting the Soviet threat, other than profits and power for the military/security complex? The US government and its media whores, presstitutes as Gerald Celente calls them, show increasing contempt for the intelligence, or lack thereof, of the american public. Even americans spaced out on alcohol, drugs, junk food, television and sports events remember the name Osama bin Laden. This person, formerly an operative of the US government against the Soviet Union, was, we were told, the embodiment of total evil. He was responsible for 9/11. President George W. Bush declared that Afghanistans refusal (apparently another Bush regime lie) to deliver Osama, the alleged (no proof) perpetrator of 9/11, to US authorities was the justification for attacking Afghanistan, a country at that time, as now, with two separate governments at war with one another. Shortly thereafter, Osama became, magically, the reason to invade Iraq, an old US ally who had attacked the government of the Iranian Revolution at Washingtons behest. Suddenly americas Iraqi ally had nonexistent weapons of mass destruction that threatened american cities, in the words of Bushs moronic National Security Advisor, with mushroom clouds. How did all this absurdity occur? Yes, what Gerald Celente aptly designates as the presstitute media played a role. However, the whores were serving their customers, which are the government and private interests that benefit from war. The American public could have rejected the spin, but they put yellow ribbon decals on their SUVs and supported the troops. If americans were puzzled when the US government abandoned its position that Osama bin Laden was responsible for 9/11 and announced a new mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the presstitutes didnt mention it. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was designated the mastermind of 9/11 because the US government had in custody this hapless individual, perhaps sold to them by warlords for the bounty paid for terrorists. Theres no good in having a mastermind of 9/11 whom you cannot catch. So Khalid Sheikh Mohammed became the Mastermind of 9/11. Once designated the Mastermind, the CIA torturers went to work on him, illegally, of course, but who cares, here was the Mastermind of 9/11. After Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was water-boarded 183 times with the only evidence against him being coerced self-incrimination, both the former chief US prosecutor at Guantanamo, Colonel Morris Davis, and Admiral Donald Guter, Judge Advocate General of the US Navy, dismissed the Guantanamo military tribunal trials as show trials or circuses. Indeed, the american trials of alleged terrorists are even less lawful than Stalins show trials of the Bolsheviks, who created the Russian Revolution in 1917, and Hitlers trials of the German military who attempted to assassinate him in order to save Germany from destruction. Astonishingly, before a show trial could dispatch Khalid Sheikh Mohammed as the Mastermind of 9/11, the US government has produced a new culprit. It was not Osama bin Laden nor Sheikh Mohammed, but Iran that is responsible for 9/11. In a US federal court judgment issued in December 2011, Iran was found guilty of the 9/11 attacks (ref). So who is responsible for 9/11? If not bin Laden, why did the Navy Seals allegedly murder him? If not Sheikh Mohammed, why is he being put on trial after being tortured for years? The answer is that the criminals in Washington, who control our lives, no longer care about any of their previous propaganda. They now want to attack another country on totally false pretenses, as does the extreme right-wing Israeli government, the cancer of the Middle East. Some of the Israeli military brass and much of the Israeli security/intelligence brass oppose an attack on Iran as an act of insanity. Yet, little, if any of the Israeli opposition to war has been reported in the US presstitute media. In order to negate internal opposition, the Israeli prime minister has formed a unity government with the main opposition party, as AIPAC stampedes the US Congress into voting for war with Iran (ref). If the unaware american population can be programmed to believe that Iran is the 9/11 culprit, then Washington can initiate yet another war that enriches the military/security complex with money and power. Will bin Ladens family now sue Washington for blaming Osama for an offense which Washington now acknowledges he was not guilty? Will Sheikh Mohammed be found guiltless, because a US federal court now says it was Iran that was responsible for 9/11? These would be the results if america had a justice system that was independent of the needs of the political elites and the private interests that they serve. But today in america the ruling interests produce by hook or crook justifications for war that serve the power and profit of the military/security complex. Whatever the mainstream media tells you serves this interest. So, how do we rescue America from its government and from the corrupt media that serves as a Ministry of Truth for a corrupt government?

1	Music, a mode of creative expression consisting of sound and silence expressed through time, was given a 6.8 out of 10 rating in an review published Monday on Pitchfork Media, a well-known music-criticism website. According to the review, authored by Pitchfork editor-in-chief Ryan Schreiber, the popular medium that predates the written word shows promise but nonetheless leaves the listener wanting more. Musics first offering, an eclectic, disparate, but mostly functional compendium of influences from 5000 B.C. to present day, hints that this trends time may not only have fully arrived, but is already on the wane, Schreiber wrote. If music has any chance of keeping our interest, its going to have to move beyond the same palatable but predictable notes, meters, melodies, tonalities, atonalities, timbres, and harmonies. Schreibers semi-favorable review, which begins in earnest after a six-paragraph preamble comprising a long list of baroquely rendered, seemingly unrelated anecdotes peppered with obscure references, summarizes music as a solid but uninspired effort. Coming in at an exhausting 7,000 years long, music is weighed down by a few too many mid-tempo tunes, most notably Liebestrume No. 3 In A-Flat by Franz Liszt and Closing Time by 90s alt-rock group Semisonic, Schreiber wrote. In the end, though music can be brilliant at times, the whole medium comes off as derivative of Pavement. While Schreiber concedes that music is still trying to find its aesthetic, he also claims the form has not yet lived up to the lavish praise heaped on it by pop culture journalist Chuck Klosterman and 19th-century French romantic composer and critic Hector Berlioz, among others. Schreiber concludes his critique by calling on music to develop a more cohesive sound in its future releases. We can only hope that [music] will begin to grow with its fans over the next few millennia, Schreiber said. If it can stick to what it does well, namely the song Peg by Steely Dan, and Tuvan throat singing, then a sophomore effort will indeed be something to get excited about. The review has split the music community, with many decrying Pitchforks lukewarm reception of music as a contrarian move designed to propel the publications tastemaker status. Its elitism for the sake of elitism, said Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke, who refuted Pitchforks middling rating, describing the entire art form as transcendent. Ive been listening to music for over 30 years, and its consistently some of the best stuff out there. Despite musics defenders, the Pitchfork review has made a deep impression on the thousands of music fans who slavishly follow the websites advice when it comes to enjoying things. Music used to be great, but lets be honest, its a 6.8 now at best, said Los Angeles resident Lowell Radler, 23, who admitted that he just looked at the rating rather than reading the whole review. I seriously might never listen to music again. Still, most analysts agreed that the impact of Pitchforks scathing review of music will be dampened by the 2.4 rating it received from Pitchfork staff writer Dave Maher just moments after the initial critique was published online. Maher termed Schreibers assessment of music overwrought, masturbatory posturing intended to make insecure hipsters feel as if theyre part of some imagined elite beau monde. 
2	Michelle Obama Backing Surprising Person For 2016 According to a recent report in the New York Post, President Obama has promised to support Senator Elizabeth Warren in the 2016 presidential campaign, if she decides to run. It is rumored that he has enlisted the help of Valerie Jarrett to convince Warren to run against Clinton. The report fuels rumors of an Obama/Clinton feud, which is suspected to stem from both personal and political differences. Allegedly, President Obama fears that Hillary Clinton would reverse some of his policies. He also fears that she cannot deeply identify with poor and middle-class Americans. Barack, Michelle, and Valerie have been talking about Elizabeth Warren for quite some time, a source from the Obama administration allegedly told reporters. Valerie has told Warren that Obama is prepared to throw a great deal of money and organizational support behind her. There are several similarities between Obama and Warren, including the fact that they were both law professors and both have similar interests when it comes to fueling the progressives and idealists in the Democratic party. 
2	Michelle Obama Now Banning The Sale Of Your Favorite Childhood Snack What ever happened to everything in moderation? According to First Lady Michelle Obama, and her dictatorship-like control over the diet of todays students, nutrition is black and white. Recently, she took her already-oppressive restrictions a bit further, banning the Elyria cookie from being served at lunched. 11 schools involved in the federal program will be affected. The cookie is a favorite treat for students, with a consistency like cake and pink icing on top. Schools have been known to order the dessert in bulk so that they are prepared for school to start. The treats have been around since Carter took office. Not surprisingly, parents are once again speaking out against the ban. This time, their anger is coupled with a sense of nostalgia, as many grew up eating the cookies themselves. What do you think? Is Michelle taking her programs way too far? 
3	As rockets hit Beirut and Hezbollah vows victory in Syria, fears of wider regional war increaseMadison Ruppert The rockets hit a Shiite Muslim district of the Lebanese capital just one day after at least 28 people were killed and 250 injured in Sunni-Alawite violence in the Lebanese city of Tripoli. The rocket attack in Beirut is quite noteworthy since, as the Christian Science Monitor noted, it was the first of its kind since 1990. The neighborhood hit by the attack which left four to five wounded has a significant number of supporters of the Shiite group Hezbollah, according to reports. There was no claim of responsibility for Sundays rocket attacks although suspicion has fallen on Sunni militants, possibly connected to armed rebel groups seeking to oust Mr. Assad from power, the Christian Science Monitor reports. The attacks are aimed at creating security tensions and certain retaliations, given the timing of the incident, said Najib Mikati, the Lebanese Prime Minister who tendered his resignation on March 22, 2013. We call on all sides to act wisely to prevent those seeking strife to achieve their goals. Sunni Muslims in Lebanon have mostly sided with the Sunni-dominated anti-Assad fighters while Shiite Muslims like those in Hezbollah have sided with Assad. However, some Sunnis have sided with Assad, including the assassinated Sunni cleric Mohamed Saeed al-Bouti. The conflict in Syria itself has also been increasingly marred by brutal sectarian violence (despite the misleading claims to the contrary) and revenge killings, with a recent video showing a Syrian rebel commander biting into the heart of a Syrian soldier. The rocket attack came just one day after Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, promised victory in Syria and vowed to fight on the side of the Assad government. We will continue to the end of the road. We accept this responsibility and will accept all sacrifices and expected consequences of this position, Nasrallah said in a televised speech, according to Reuters. We will be the ones who bring victory. Until the Sunday morning strikes, Beirut had been largely immune from violence associated with the Syrian conflict, the Los Angeles Times reports, further increasing the concerns surrounding a regional spillover. The owner of a car dealership hit by a rocket, Abu Ali Qbeisi, told a local Lebanese TV station that he believed the rockets were a response to Nasrallahs speech by the Syrian rebels. Just as Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah vowed victory, we will not be frightened by them, Qbeisi said, according to the Daily Star. Whatever they do, we are not afraid and long live Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah. The Lebanese army reportedly discovered two 107mm rocket launchers on a wooded hillside between Bsaba and Aitit villages located five miles to the south. A third launcher was also reportedly discovered nearby but the rocket apparently misfired. The security in southern Beirut has been significantly tightened over recent months. Individuals with Hezbollah have reportedly established checkpoints and patrolled the streets with bomb-sniffing dogs. Many residents fear that supporters of the Syrian opposition will mount a car bomb attack in the densely-populated district, according to the Christian Science Monitor. Lebanon is increasingly being drawn into the Syrian conflict with both Sunni opposition fighters and Hezbollah using the country as a gateway to Syria, according to USA Today. Meanwhile, refugees have poured out of Syria into Lebanon in an attempt to flee the fighting.

2	Islamic Studies Now Required In California District, The Details Are Scary According to recent reports, an increasing number of California public school students are being required to take a three-week course on Islam. The course reportedly mandates that seventh-graders learn the tenets of Islam, study important figures in the religion, and adopt a Muslim name. ASSIST News Service reports that students must also memorize and recite several verses of the Koran. We could never teach Christianity like this, one angry parent told reporters. Elizabeth Christina Lemings, a teacher in the Byron, California Union School District also expressed her anger with the policy. We cant even mention the name of Jesus in the public schools, Lemings told reporters. But they teach Islam as the true religion, and students are taught about Islam and how to pray to Allah. Can you imagine the barrage of lawsuits and problems we would have from the ACLU if Christianity were taught in public schools, and if we tried to teach about the contributions of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and the Apostle Paul? The textbook used for the course is called Across the Centuries, and is published by Houghton-Mifflin. It has been adopted by the California school system, and Islam is presented in a positive manner throughout. Meanwhile, religions like Christianity are shown in a darker light. Noticeably, the text leaves out the wars, massacres, cruelties against Christians and other non-Muslims that Islam has consistently perpetrated over the centuries. What do you think of the course? Would you let your child attend this course? 
2	Man Goes Completely Viral After Posting 50 Second Video Exposing BRUTAL Truth About Bruce Springsteen Religious freedom laws in America have been sparking heating debate between liberals and Christians. This was evidenced when Bruce Springsteen recently canceled a concert in North Carolina in response to the Tar Heel States religious freedom bill. Springsteens cancellation was met with immediate backlash, with many calling him idiotic for punishing thousands of fans. Not everyone is criticizing his decision, however. I fully support and affirm Mr. Springsteens right to cancel his concert here in Greensboro without penalty and without pressure from our government, Barrett Riddleberger, a Greensboro resident, commented on Facebook. He has the freedom to deny entertainment services to the people of North Carolina because he disagrees with their world view. Yet, a baker cannot deny cake-baking services to a homosexual couple because they disagree with their world view, he continued. Where is the equality n that? What do you think of Riddlebergers comments? Did he perfectly illustrate the hypocrisy in our current system?

'All heck breaks loose when the familys lawn mower is shrunk to the size of a little toy mower,' Disney CEO Michael Eisner told reporters. 'And then the refrigerator shrinks. Then the familys new piano, then the guy who checks the gas meter, then, for an over-the-top climax, the oldest sons bicycle.' Said Moranis: 'Basically, Im going to be running around the house, shrinking a whole bunch of shit.' 
3	Police State for Kids: Cops Called to Resolve Dispute at Toddlers Birthday BashAmanda Warren UK kids like to have birthday parties at Rumble Tumble play center much like American kids at Chuck E. Cheese and other play stations. However, as Natasha Bent tried lighting her son Oscars candles in celebration of his third birthday, staff intervened. The Bent family were told to move to a segregated area due to health and safety regulations. Some liability and safety precautions might be understandable; however, the staff insisted on then supervising the festivities. After an argument, the family was banished to celebrate in the parking lot. The situation only escalated from there. After the party was interrupted twice, candles yet unlit, the police arrived on the scene of the parking party having been called by a Rumble Tumble staff member who felt threatened. Once stormed by police, the little ones started to cry and the party was effectively over. Would almost be darkly funny if it werent an actual storyabout police responding with seriousness to an alleged threatening situation surrounding candles on a birthday cake for a three year old. Michael Snyder of endoftheamericandream.comhas chronicled the growing absurdities of heavy crackdowns on children in the Land of the Free: Its sad that we have to constantly exercise the word No on every front, like the father who founded Lemonade Freedom Day his version of No to the squelching of childrens lemonade stands. Do stories like the candle catastrophe at Rumble Tumble occur because the employees feel powerless and are perhaps addicted to using their own threats to call referees with handcuffs? Is that mentality about trying to burn and stick it to anyone who challenges their authority? Oscars parents most likely paid a fee to use the facility and had every right to disagree toarbitraryterms of supervision, even if they did need to remain in the confines of the play centers rules for lighting candles in a designated area. But it is a birthday cake at a place known for hosting birthday parties lighting candles would seem to be a reasonable expectation. And do the cops actually enjoy settling unnecessary tiffs and smashing toddlers parties? What is motivating an increasing number of employees and school staff to cry bully and call the police over every little sniffle from parents and children alike?Whatever it is, it appears that Reason and Common Sense are truly dead. Are we ready to encourage the criminalization of children for behaving like children? Are we ready to resolve every dispute with the maximum show of force? Or is this something to be expected as the police state is fully embraced and permitted to trickle down to such ridiculous conclusions. Please leave your thoughts below.

2	See How The School Reacts When A Student Refuses To Stand For Pledge Of Allegiance A Texas student was recently suspended for two days after refusing to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. 15-year-old Mason Michalec argues that while he loves his country, he is tired of the government. I dont agree with the NSA spying on us, Michalec said, and I dont agree with any of those Internet laws. Michalec was scolded by one of his teachers when she noticed his silent protest. She told me this is my classroom. This is the principals request. Youre going to stand, Michalec said. The school has threatened Michalec with further consequences, but the student argued that he has the right to refuse. The Needville high school can not be reached to comment on the event. What do you think? Did Michalec deserve to be suspended? 
3	Government Jobs Now Outnumber Manufacturing Jobs by a Wide MarginBy Joshua Krause In 1941, nearly one of ten Americans worked in the manufacturing sector compared to 1 and 26 today. In that same time period, the ratio of government workers has grown from 1 in 27.7 to 1 in 14.6 today. However, if you took a closer look at the recent growth of government jobs, you might be fooled into thinking that our government is actually diminishing. While the number of government jobs has grown consistently for decades, it hasnt kept up with population growth in recent years. Since the 1980s the percentage of the population that is employed by the government at all levels, had actually fallen slightly to 6.9% by 2012. This decline, however, has coincided with a substantial increase in government debt. Within the next ten years, the governments deficit is set to explode to astronomical levels, as is government revenue. In other words, our government is growing slowly, but on a per capita basis theyre leeching off the private sector now more than ever.

3	Confirmed: Israeli Attack on Syria Air Defense FacilityBrandon Turbeville On the heels of a reported chemical attack committed by the death squads on the Syria/Turkey border, a massive explosion has completely destroyed a Syrian air defense base in Snobar Jableh, Syria which is located near Latakia, a port city on the coast of the Mediterranean. Snobar Jableh is just south of Latakia. The attacks allegedly were to have taken place on Wednesday night. Although no one has publicly claimed responsibility for the explosion, both Syrian and Lebanese media are attributing the attack to Israeli forces. Even Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya is now reporting Israeli responsibility for the attacks, citing anonymous sources. Al-Arabiya also claims that the target of the attacks were two shipments of SA-8 Surface-To-Air missiles slated for delivery to Hezbollah. The organization claims that the two targets were successfully destroyed. Syrian news agency Dam Press is reporting that the facility was indeed heavily damaged but that there were no injuries. Business Insider claims that a Syrian security official has confirmed the attack. However, Voice of Russia reports that Syria Special Services are denying the destruction of the base. VOA quotes a representative of Syrian intelligence services saying that It is a lie and a provocation. The conflicting nature of the official responses could be attributed to the fact that, while the attack did indeed take place, the level of damage was not as severe as that claimed by death squads and Western/Israeli media outlets. Lebanese media has reported that six planes belonging to the Israeli Air Force flew over Ayta Ash Shab, Bint Jbeil, and Marjayoun located in southern Lebanon during the night. These reports appear to be based an official press release from the Lebanese military and assert that the airplanes entered Lebanese airspace at around 1:40 P.M. and circled over various places before leaving over the Mediterranean Sea near Tripoli and Naqoura at 5 P.M. As Business Insider reports, eyewitnesses noticed an suspicious amount of aircraft activity shortly before the blast. As Michael Kelley writes, In addition, reports are also suggesting that the missiles which hit the Syrian Air Defense facility came from the sea. Yet, while claims over Israeli responsibility for the attack can, at this point, only be considered speculation, all evidence does seem to point in the direction of Israel. Indeed, the track record of the Israelis lends a great deal of credence to the charges. It is important to remember that Israel has launched attacks against Syrian forces and military convoys on at least four 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 last week, although the exact location whether on Syrian or Lebanese soil is still uncertain.

3	19 Intriguing Coincidences Surrounding the Virginia ShootingBy Bernie Suarez That said, without getting too deep into what I believe could likely be another staged shooting event to advance the federal governments gun control agenda, lets just zip through a list of oddities that every single person must reconcile surrounding the recent Virginia TV reporter shooting of Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward by alleged shooter Vester Lee Flanagan. Here are 19 oddities to fill your brain with. Perhaps you can explain away some of these. If you can, more power to you but good luck tackling the entire list. Ultimately, its not about one person being right or wrong but about lining yourself up with truth. Keep in mind that all of these things are happening at once and you have to let your natural instincts, intuition and common sense kick in and take this information in and then file it under one of two categories: orchestrated event or coincidence or perhaps I dont know. You decide: No one looks at the gunman even once despite his brandishing a normal-sized gun. Peripheral vision must be a conspiracy also! Instead, the 2 women carry on with their conversation. You couldnt make this up. Dont believe it? Watch the video for yourself. The video shows what turns out to be some kind of rehearsal pointing. Ask yourself what killer has ever done this outside of a Hollywood movie set? Put yourself for a second inside the mind of the supposed killer. Who points a gun at people in broad daylight, practices what hes going to do and then after not pulling the trigger waits around to re-point the gun again a minute later? Watch as the cameraman is inexplicably shooting footage in a direction unrelated to the interview taking place, providing the perfect entrance for the apparently invisible shooter. Ask yourself, why would the cameraman do this? Was the interview that boring or that long that he needs to amuse himself by aimlessly panning across the scenery while the interview is happening? What are the odds of this coincidence? How does cameraman Adam Ward not see, hear, sense or even smell that there is someone standing right next to him? The shooter doesnt even have a shadow! The scene takes place in a super quiet remote area and its a big man with a gun who is also invisible. This defies logic and reason, does it not? Coincidence? You decide. Simple questions that beg good answers. Whats a shooter doing in this remote area anyway? And how does the shooter know to be there at that exact time? Was he just wandering around in the neighborhood and decided to do this? Or did the shooter have a copy of the WDBJ production schedule? Maybe he did. Just wondering. Magic bullet part 2? Could this be an example of the adrenaline bullet initial impact resistance theory? Perhaps it happened so fast she didnt know she was shot? Everyone should go back and watch other videos of people being shot and look for the quick body twitch, the jolt and the instant collapse that happens when people get shot at point-blank range which is when bullets do the most damage. Then go back and see if anything in this recent shooting looks different. Also ask yourself, where is the blood? Where is the staggering struggle of someone who has just been shot? Where have we seen this before? Back in January of this year (2015) during the Charlie Hebdo shooting incident we saw a supposed point-blank head explosion shooting of a Paris police officer with a AK47 assault rifle, only the video shows the shot hitting at least a foot away, no head jolt and no blood. This might lead us to think they are playing out of the same script again. But who knows? You decide. Dead men tell no tales. Once again the shooter, this time Vester Lee Flanagan does not live to tell the story. The perfect ending once again for the controllers. Shooters who contribute to possible future gun legislation apparently almost always conveniently kill themselves now. The end result of shootings these days almost seem automated. The manifesto has become a standard part of the script but we must all start to wonder is the manifesto now being overplayed? I dont know anyone, or know of anyone who has ever met someone who has written or even considered writing a manifesto of their life intent, yet government rolls out manifestos on all killer patsies nowadays. Whats the deal with the automated manifestos? What everyone should realize is that the manifesto is the perfect fill-in-the-blank propaganda document to sway the masses on anything they want them to believe. If the manifesto says you did it, then you did it. The manifesto conveniently fills in the blank to create perception of intent. How perfect! This may be coincidental as well but like the James Foley fake beheading and all other ISIS videos, this point-of-view video seems like it is mostly intended to shock you and get a reaction from you as in problem-REACTION-solution. Ask yourself, why would the government and media want to shock everyone? Is the story itself not enough? Once the shock value is accomplished by the mainstream media as weve seen in recent shock value videos like the James Foley fake beheading video or the Charlie Hebdo fake police officer execution video, it seems once the mainstream media pushes the initial shock value video to create the reaction there is no need to allow the world to watch the video and scrutinize it. This seems to be when the censorship of the same video begins. The controllers would rather you not watch the video on your own on YouTube where you might come across alternative media links and explanations of their false flags and crisis actors. Instead, they would rather you just trust the mainstream medias presentation of the video evidence and leave it at that. Others have pointed out how the media put out an image of the shooter based on the video camera footage but we never see this footage so where did they get this frame from? Yes, this may be a coincidence, who knows, but given all the other oddities it makes you wonder. Im no sound expert but from my military experience I know the sound of rounds shot at a range. Admittedly, the audio of the shooting sounds very different from the camera version due to its much more pronounced echoes. I find this a little odd but who knows. Anytime we hear police forcing anyone, especially a journalist, to destroy evidence this should set off a red flag in your mind and its got to make anyone at least wonder why. Why destroy evidence?? Who or what threat does this evidence represent and to who? This is very troubling. This is one of the most disturbing issues for me when I first watched an interview with family member Andy Parker. Once again supposed family members in lightning speed are propped up on TV bypassing the mourning, sincerity and humility stage that comes with grieving for a recently murdered family member and they are instead calling for gun control and political agendas. Parker delivers his shocking political call to action to America within seconds: Weve got to do something about crazy people getting guns. Is anyone not reading through this? Should it matter that Andy Parker is a former Broadway actor? Under any other circumstances it might not matter, but unfortunately this is not an ordinary situation. Should it matter that, coincidentally, Andy Parker is directly tied to the banking system in addition to being a proven professional actor? You decide. The White House quickly urges Congress to use common sense in order to reduce gun violence in America. Timing is everything isnt it? Just in case no one believes the manifesto, here comes the White House to reiterate the race theme in the manifesto and to push their propaganda. In the end this is about gun control, so should it shock you that this shooting took place 2 days after the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) in Mexico? Lucky timing? Is it a coincidence that Obama is trying to claim that Congress ratified the UNs Arms Trade agreement in 2013 when in fact Congress did not? Does it surprise you that the timing is perfect with these treaty talks? There seems to always be a shooting right around the time the UN Arms Trade Treaty comes up or whenever there is an event or Arms bill being discussed. Coincidence? Again, you decide. The globalists have clear-cut stated goals to have the United Nations act as the bullies of the world to enforce regulation on guns and arms in complete violation and disregard of the U.S. Constitution which grants every American the inalienable right to bear arms to protect themselves from tyrannical government. Obamas cooperation with this UN treaty is an attempt to destroy the Second Amendment and transfer gun control power to the UN. What this means for freedom lovers and those who oppose tyranny is that the permanent enslavement of humanity is in the balance. Resist now. Do not allow our criminal government and their CIA-controlled mainstream media to use shooting events whether real or staged to be used as tools to disarm Americans. This will give ALL the power to an evil oppressive and corrupt totalitarian global government and permanent enslavement of humanity. Dont miss the bigger picture for a staged comparatively insignificant shooting. Finally, you decide what happened in this latest Virginia TV reporter shooting. Is this another staged shock-and-awe psyop for Jade 2 software to monitor and track the reaction from the masses being that we are in the middle of Jade Helm operations? Is this a staged event to boost the likelihood of a UN Arms Trade Treaty signing? Is this a great story to get attention away from Hillary scandals and a collapsing economy? Is it all the above? I believe it very well could be. You decide for yourself. Know that the new world order is here and no huge news story is randomly being told by coincidence. There is an argument to be made that if the government and media did that now that might be considered wasted resources. All stories now have a specific purpose. Find out your purpose and separate yourself from the control system, which very much includes the mainstream media. Realize that your mind is just like your laundry or your dishes it can get dirty or polluted and if so it needs cleansing. Purge their lies out of your mind and stop assuming that those who dont believe mainstream media are lunatic conspiracy theorists. Now is the healthiest time in history to question every single news piece. Your survival depends on it. Lets all exercise short-term memory and lets quickly go back to focusing on solutions instead of dwelling on their crisis actor laced convenient and staged shootings. Instead stay focused on knowing your rights and how special each and every person is. We are born free and we are conscious human beings. See the nature of the cage and purpose to free yourself from their mental enslavement which keeps you bound. Realize that when people forget about a shooting this hurts the controllers and the new world order plans. They want and they need you to keep dwelling on these staged stories for the stories to be effective. Recall the I shot Bin Laden story earlier this year(2015) desperately trying to revive the Bin Laden hoax only no one cared. The faster the globalists move, it only makes me wonder if the new world order is slowly dying. We are seeing many ways every day how humanity is turning things around but you have to look for them. Without looking for and seeing that silver lining it can easily seem like things are really bad and only getting worse without hope of things changing. Its a classic glass half-full situation. How full is the glass from your point of view? Also See: 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. Where do these Crisis Actors go after being supposedly shot dead?.Do they just reappear down the road like the Box-cutter Saudis of 9-11?.which means the goons believe theyre 100% in control of the Psy-Op thru the MSM? were tooooo Stupid to connect the dots?. You nailed it. Reason they think were so stupid? Government subsidized public schooling. The government gets what it pays for, lets make a stupid and oblivious worker class that will obey anything, believe anything. A big problem now is that theres not much if any work for the worker to do. A need of a worker class disappearing creates a problem. Oh no, now they have time to think. Quick, attack their ability to revolt. That would be PUBLIC subsidized public schooling. They get the money from us. Yes in deed. My apologies for not making that connection. I was public educated. *grin* Israel Well Edwardo I hate to admit it, but you are correct. You are to stupid to connect anything. Excellent! The crisis actor being intereviewed is recovering in the hospital. Never to give an interviewexcept to CNN, if any. 1. No one notices the man pointing the gun because they have no reason to. The reporter is focusing on the person she is interviewing; the camera man has his back to the shooter. The reporter is not about to turn to see who is nearby simply because someone is in her peripheral vision; if she did that they would have to constantly do retakes every time something like that distracted her and she looked away from the subject. 2. The shooter doesnt shoot immediately because the whole point of his revenge is terror, and he is temporarily hesitant precisely because no one notices him, and he is denied the shock he wants to see on his victims faces before he fires. Only when he realizes he may not be noticed at all, and having committed to his actions by drawing the gun, does he shoot. He is not rehearsing; if he was, then the other actors are not rehearsing with him. Also he waits mere seconds not a minute later before shooting. 3. The cameraman is shooting the area background where the interview is taking place before panning to the interview, a commonly used video technique called an establishing shot. Google it. 4. Of course the cameraman has no idea the shooter is there. The shooter approached from behind DUH! 5. This point doesnt establish anything at all, even though the author admits he doesnt KNOW how the shooter knew where to be. It certainly wouldnt be difficult for the shooter to tail the news van from the studio, not to mention numerous other ways he could have known, having worked for the station, yet we are supposed to assume this was part of the conspiracy? Talk about flimsy 6. If one watches other videos of people being shot as the author suggests, one will see every imaginable reaction, from to simply collapsing like a puppet whose strings have been cut, to twitching ala Oswald being shot by Ruby, to screaming and turning to run as this reporter did. Sometimes you will see blood, sometimes you will see none. The things that will occur when someone is shot are almost infinitely variable. To say that the reporter failed to react exactly as the author wanted her to, and this is evidence of conspiracy, is just plain irrational since it ignores the numerous possible reactions that could occur. Dont believe it? Then do as the author suggests watch the other videos of people being shot. Youll see for yourself that for every twitcher there are dozens of other reactions, including the one shown by the reporter. The list goes on for each of the authors claims. You want to prove there is a conspiracy? Then how about backing up your claims with solid facts instead of wild speculation. If this was staged, were the reporter and cameraman in on it? So they really werent killed, and what, they changed their identities and moved to Bolivia, all to promote a single staged anti-gun event? Or were they willing to actually die for the cause of one more piece of anti gun propaganda? If so, you should be easily able to PROVE this conspiracy with actual PROOF, not wild speculation. Heres a conspiracy theory for you: Maybe the author is working for the gun grabbers, publishing hysterical and groundless theories in order to discredit the people who are trying to reveal REAL conspiracies. Hey, its no less fanciful than the article If you want to help your cause, then I would suggest you not publish tabloid sensationalism, and find some indisputable facts instead, like a real self respecting journalist would do. you obviously did not watch the shooters video that was posted. I did. They said it was graphic it was not. It was revealing. Not sure how it is obvious to you that I did not watch the shooters video, because I did watch it, carefully. Oh, I see you think I didnt watch it only because I disagree with you. I know one fact I have very right; its the fact that the false flag theorists cant be bothered to prove that they have anything other than wild speculation, when, if they were right, there would be MOUNTAINS of evidence to support them EMTs and ambulance drivers, hospital staff, the coroners office, the victims families and friends. People who desperately want to believe something will never allow facts to get in the way. They only wail and cry the sky is falling without doing any else, at all. If you did watch the shooters video closely, then you would have seen that Alison DOES look at the shooter, then proceeds with her interview, the gun doesnt eject any shells. the slide on the gun never moves back to eject a shell and reload the next round. Gun flashes are bright yellow to white and are not seen in the daytime, and do not take on the appearance of a perfectly straight line on the left side of the second shot. There is no blood anywhere on any of the videos that were presented to the public. You are either are ignorant to firearms and physics or you are what is commonly known as paid or appointed shill set to try to create plausible doubt in the face of irrefutable evidence. Compared to you I am indeed a firearms expert. I own several firearms and have been shooting since I was ten years old. Furthermore, I worked for many years in the motion picture industry, specifically as a video camera technician. From your knee jerk reactionary assumptions about the video, it is clear that you get all of your science about firearms from watching Hollywood movies. Let me explain: The gun doesnt eject any shells OK,Einstein, if the gun doesnt eject any shells, then the gun wasnt firing blanks either, since blanks have shells that must be ejected, otherwise there would be only one shot because the gun would not be cycling for multiple shots, right? the slide on the gun never moves back What you should have said here is the slide SEEMS to never move back, but in fact it does. The complete action of a slide moving back, returning forward and stripping the next round out of the magazine and chambering it (with real ammo OR blanks) takes place in the blink of an eye, a fraction of a second. Since you do not know the frame rate of the camera used in the video (most video cameras would likely be recording at a rate of 30 frames per second in this situation) and you also, despite your self appointed expertise about guns, have no idea just how quickly a gun cycles, makes it hard for you to grasp that the slide has time to completely cycle between one frame and the next in a video camera recording at 30fps. A camera would need to be recording at a frame rate of around 120 fps or higher to clearly reveal the slide cycling in the video playback. Gun flashes Congratulations, Mr Wizard, you almost got this one right. Gun flashes are all but impossible to see in daylight. But, despite your keen powers of observation, you didnt seem to realize that the video was NOT shot in dayLIGHT. It was recorded inside a covered area, an area that was clearly NOT well lit. The video was recorded in the dayTIME, but not dayLIGHT, and there is one clearly shown muzzle flash in the video. Why only one? For the same reason you dont see the slide cycle. The one flash is clear only because it happened at the precise instant that particular frame was exposed. And for your continuing education on firearms, and video cameras, for that matter, one has only to browse through the voluminous youtubes of real guns firing to see that gun flashes do not meet a particular set of criteria that you so naively think they should. Some flashes are big, some small, some look like sparks, others look like flames, some only like smoke there are many, many variables involved, both in the flashes themselves and they way they are photographed, for your one dimensional closed mind to consider. There is no blood Here again you sadly base your knowledge about what you think should be true on what you have learned from Hollywood movies. The reporter instantly recoils and flees the shooter, falling into the shadows, so of course there is no visible blood. Blood does not immediately spew out of an entry wound on a clothed body, like in the movies. What your are seeing in the movies is a squib a small explosive charge behind a little pack of fake blood. Try to understand (I know its hard for someone like you) that movies are not the same thing as reality. Another point that I notice about the video is that the gun recoils in the shooters hand. I know its beyond your abilities with your limited mental capacity, but rational, thinking people can easily see by watching movies that the actors are using blanks because the jolt of recoil that would occur with real ammo is missing when they shoot a gun. The gun in the video recoils, consistent with a 9mm. I know Ive overwhelmed your brain with unpleasant facts, but maybe you could enlighten readers about only ONE on my points? If there are no spent casings, then were no blanks used? And if there were no real bullets, and no blanks either, then how was this fake video made, with the multiple gunshots, hmm? What made the muzzle flash? What made the gun recoil? What made the bangs? Cant wait to hear how your superior mind will prove that I mean, prove to readers not just yourself. You know, with intelligent and rational points? And what mysterious agency is paying me to contradict morons online? And for what purpose are they paying me to contradict idiots with rational observations? One thing is clear, you do have a vivid imagination. Maybe you should change your online handle from nochipforme to noclueforme! Rather than respond to your battle of wits and slight of speech coupled with arrogance and ignorance, I will bid you ado. Fare thee well oh man, fare thee well. They will come for your firearms and they will take them. Fear God. Good of you to admit that in a battle of wits you are unarmed. They will take my guns when they pry them from my cold dead fingers. I fear my government, not God. I am on your side, even if you dont realize it, but I will not be manipulated by irrational fear. Peace to you, friend. Put down the dooby bruh. Wow, what an intellectual comeback. Let me guess Harvard? Yale? Pittsville Community College? A home for emotionally disturbed pre-schoolers? Your moms basement? Put down the keyboard, bruh better stick with Nintendo until youve grown up a little bit You made it completely evident your warm and fuzzy world view is being comfortably maintained by the main stream media. If you prefer the world of illusion and need to reinforce your perceptions by vigorously defending their polished bullshit and narrative you are simply acting as a self duped troll. You know absolutely nothing of what my world view is. Everything you say is based on assumptions, not facts a clear indication of a closed and biased mind. I respond to those people who have challenged my opinions (and thats all Im offering here opinions, not mandates) in a civilized and intellectual way devoid of name calling and finger pointing. Sooo, that being said, youll understand why I will waste no more effort replying to someone like you. Good luck in the future prying open your closed mind! Hmmm. You conspiracy nuts seem to be constantly confused. One minute youre saying the forces of darkness that haunt your keyboard world have made a blatantly fake video, to point where they have a white shooter who is supposed to be a black man, then you say their efforts are polished bs. Oh, if only I could be as sharp as you. Then I would never have to look for truth I would know the truth is whatever I want it to be, no matter what anyone else says. Must be a very comfy place for you, there in moms basement! Stay in school and on your meds! Your screen name is very appropriate for you, did you choose it all by yourself? What a good boy you are. I know the conspirators are trembling in their boots knowing that you are on the case! Get a job! I dont need a job, Teddy boy I am wealthy enough to have retired early. Maybe you should consider getting an education. It is painfully obvious the dress rehearsal was held sometime earlier, perhaps that morning, and the victims' body language says, what are you waiting for? We rehearsed this! Shoot! Despite the muzzle flash that screams BLANK!, the shooter cannot bring himself to actually point the gun at them and pull the trigger. So he pulls the gun to the right before pulling the trigger the first time its a very obvious MISS. Just WATCH THE VIDEO. The UN can not abolish our 2nd amendment. Anything that the present setting president has done can be undone by another setting president. Also our Congress if it were not made up of traitorous cowards. could put an end to Obamas social Jehad of this country. Having read the above article(I AM being kind in that reference) I feel like those brain cells have been lost forever due to the insipid assertions that a grand conspiracy in the Virgina Shootings is somehow afoot. First, one would have to assume that the current Puppet-in-Chief, who simply incapable of speaking in public without a script and teleprompter, could engineer such a feat.Sorry, hes just not that intelligent. Hes a willing puppet and nothing more, he is incapable of leading a one-car funeral procession down a one-way street. One of the worst attempts at a straw man argument Ive ever seen. Suarez never implied Obama was a mastermind. LOL! How many brain cells does take to figure out there is something wrong with official narratives when the same child is apparently gunned down twice in two separate school shootings on two different continents evidenced by the same photographs used for establishment and media reports of official victims? You havent looked closely at Sandy Hook anomalies? I bet you also Believe in the Official 9/11 fairy tale and the Warren Report with Arlen Specters magic bullet explanation. Yes, please apologize to Mrs. Brown for never having developed any critical thinking skills. The Brit Disinfo Brigade must be working overtime. we believe Pigs can fly Hey, werent you the same exact SHILL who wrote the same exact thing for Bush/911, replacing Bush Obama interchangeably? yes we believe all that our masters say. Hoax Nice try. Please tell me they dont pay you for that. With several million dollars in their pocket they didnt have before. One other oddity in the video footage of the hand holding the Glock, the shooter appeared to be wearing a long-sleeved checkered shirt. Yet in the full frame of the shooter, he didnt appear to be wearing anything resembling a checkered shirt. The video footage of the alleged shooter after capture might have revealed exactly what he was wearing, but, of course, that had to be destroyed for some reason. We all know it is a Hoax problem is the formal channels will scream otherwise Possible coincidence #20? The irate man in a video on youtube angrily confronting a seemingly calm and confident Flanagan is wearing a blue plaid shirt. It appears the person doing the confronting is attempting to provoke Flanagan and document it with his smartphone. Dr. James Tracy of Memory Hole Blog discussed the possibility Flanagan was framed and set up as a targeted individual subject to gang stalking. African American attorney Myron May documented his concerns that he too was a targeted individual prior to the Florida shooting, a case and phenomenon Tracy also explored in some detail. memoryholeblog (dot) com/2015/08/29/was-vester-lee-flanagan-framed/ Mehwhat CAN one believe, now days? Certainly not ones own eyes. Not what one is told. What days are these!? I actually think they do these obvious FALSE FLAG HOAXs more for DISTRACTION than to take our guns. I really dont think theyll ever take our guns. Thats why I think they do it for distraction, to create civil unrest, racial divides, and things like that. And it WORKS, btwwe are all talking about this FAKE shooting, arent we? Thats what they want. DISTRACTION. The BIGGER picture is our judicial branch is so corrupt that we cant bring these HOAXTERS to justice. When a countrys judicial branch is totally corrupt, basically you no longer have a country. We should be able to bring charges with the MOUNTAIN of evidence to court and win easily. But it never happens because we have a corrupt, rigged judicial branch thats a laughingstock worldwide. When it goes to court, you get a RIGGED SHOW TRIAL like the Boston marathon bombing FALSE FLAG HOAX. Thats what you get in a country with a corrupt, rigged judicial branch. Youre right, the big target is not as much about guns this time.. Redsilverj seems to have been the only person not too distracted to notice the announcement related to the shooting video that Facebook, Google, and Microsoft would be working together with government and regulators to censor online extremist content. So, who is going to decide what defines extremist? Its always about creating an illusion of a need for more control. So right So you can explain Adam Wards open casket viewed by hundreds of people ? This event wasnt like Sandy Hook where all the people involved were unknowns and a bunch of childrens photos with names attached. These two were well known local personalities and one with a long history in the area. So the family would have to be in on the dupe. Put yourself in their place. Would you dupe friends and neighbours you have known for years and people who trust you ? I doubt that very much. That said I still call bs on the boyfriend and bs on someone running away screaming in a high pitched voice after being shot in the chest and head. They got lots of $$$$$$ millions, and new identities. Probably living in Israel on stolen land with Sandy hook actors. Have you ever been to a wax museum? Do you know what kind of expert professionals that the intelligence community has at its disposal? Anything you need, a phone call away. I personally imagine they sell the dupes a bill of goods and then eliminate them. But its possible theyve got people on call for any job. The cameraman and reporter may have been placed there far in advance of the need. But who knows? You know a hoax when you see one. All thats left are the details. Hey, this was yet ANOTHER shooter who was taking medication with a side effect of violent behavior all of the recent shooters were taking such medication and it all was initially reported in the news until pharma gave the editors a stern talking to and all the stories were changed. yep Hoax youve lost the real story..the one about dangerous medications is the BS story being pushed by infowhores to butter up these false flags and give them a tinge of conspiracy and make them more palatable to the right wing rednecks who still take Alex Jones seriously. the real story is that this event in Virginia was just a regular old false flag; completely staged in every way. nobody died, nobody suffered from violent, irrational outbursts brought on by psychotropic medication. it was just fake. Great article! We some times have to consider that a HIT was the motivation for an event like this, see, Jared Lee Loughner, who shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, of whom was simply an added bonus, as was the outcries for more gun control. While Chief U.S. District Court Judge John Roll was the intended target, Giffords was declared by the TRIBE in the media to have been the target. Here we do not have that option to consider. ONLY Gun Control and RACIAL TENSIONS! YET another cog in the TRIBES quest for our destruction! Its a fake. do they really think we are so stupid? Some may be, but Im not its a stupid amateurish effort to push gun control. Nothing adds up and from past history I do not believe propaganda media. Would you believe a known lier? Its like a crappy B movie, with third rate writers and performed by wait staff looking for their next acting role. Its so sloppy, its as if they know that most people will swallow it along with their soup and pharmaceuticals. The skeptics evidently dont worry them. Maybe theyre using old metrics and dont realize how many people are catching on. No we dont believe. What I dont get is where the shooters camera is. There is a point before the shooting where the shooters camera shooting over the camera mans shoulder from a height above the camera man.. If the shooter had a camera on a visor, he would have to be pretty tall to get that shot, and he would have to be crouching the rest of the time. The cameras height appears to move up and down, which would imply that it was hand-held, and the shot above the camera-mans head would have to be the shooter holding the camera up high. It seems like both the reporter and the interviewer would notice that! Ive been interviewed by TV people, and they do get background shots, but its before and after, not during, the interview! A composite of two takes would explain this better than anything else I can think of. What do you think about that? The guy in the frame holding a gun is wearing a blue plaid shirt. Incidentally, it really looks like the hand of a Caucasian man. Other released photo show the gunman wearing a black shirt. Caucasian? This guy is an albino. Look at the hands of the blonde woman being interviewed at the upper-right corner of the screen. Her hands are darker than the shooters. First of all, I want to thank you for your somewhat civilized response to my post. I will be scrutinizing the link you provided when I can give it the time it deserves; thanks for supplying that as well. Yours is the ONLY response from those who disagree with me that doesnt simply say I suck though I was disappointed by your lack of understanding when you accuse me of being someone the military/government/conspiracists can dupe when you know practically nothing at all about me. One thing I have learned in this life is that the greatest obstacles to clear thinking are assumptions and conclusions, and you have assumed I am something that I most definitely am not. I assume nothing. Assumptions are useful if and ONLY IF you have no facts, and ONLY if you keep in mind that everything you base on those assumptions depends on those assumptions being correct. Too many people make the huge mistake of believing their assumptions are facts, which leads them to a conclusion, which effectively is the end of thinking. Conclusion the word means END, as in, the end of thought. Only when one refuses to make assumptions, or at the very least is willing to discard an assumption when it becomes unsupportable, can one begin to think with an open mind. Now, allow me to better inform you as to what kind of person I really am. First, I dont allow others to tell me what is what, not without knowing the facts. In other words, I dont assume anything. I do not believe everything the government tells me. It would be a much more accurate description to say I hardly believe anything the government tells me. I am certain that my government is fully capable of cover ups, lies and deception, even murder, and the government has and will continue to do all of those things. The recent militarization of police, huge purchases of ammunition by the DHS and TSA, unconstitutional spying by the NSA and countless other events, arent exactly bolstering any faith I might have had that the government is on my side. Now let me inform you better as to what kind of person I am NOT. I am not the kind of person who believes in something just because I want it to be true. I am not the kind of person to dismiss the evidence I dont like in favor of the evidence that I think supports what I would like to true. And I find it very , VERY difficult to believe that the Virginia shootings were staged, simply because the enormity of the conspiracy required for the pathetically small goal of swaying the publics opinion on gun control just a little bit more is, due to a complete lack of REAL, INDISPUTABLE evidence that should be EASY to reveal, totally absurd. I find it amusing, but sad, that so many people are willing to utterly dismiss the very real possibility that this just might be a disgruntled, fired employee who went psycho and avenged his well documented grievances. People who so casually discard relevant evidence, in favor of unsupported claims, DESERVE the government they currently have. In fact, they NEED a nanny government, like children need a babysitter, to keep them from breaking things and hurting themselves and others. At least, until the children grow up and learn how to think. I look forward to continuing an INTELLIGENT discourse with you, should you wish to do so. Good day. You are one of the crazy ones. Probably a morman too. Your like a sheep, if they jumped off a cliff, I can see you would follow them. funny In the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Hoax, a perceptive blogger stated that the blatant mistakes made could not have happened by accident. He suggested that the hoax shooting was being used to identify those on social media who were IN THE KNOW. But why? So they could be ushered into the FEMA camps and eliminated, or ushered into the FEMA camps to be recruited as managers of the Sheeple? MM59 I promised in my other reply to you that I would examine Operation Northwoods, and I admit I havent heard about it before, so thanks for bringing it to my attention. I do not question the existence of the plan, and I believe these documents are real. But governments plotting to create false flags, especially as a pretext or excuse for invasion or war, is nothing new. Hitler staged the takeover of a German radio station near the border with Poland by Polish invaders as a reason to invade Poland in 1939. But there are numerous examples of the US government not only planning, but actually carrying out this type of operation: the blowing up of the battleship USS Maine in 1898 (though much evidence suggests that this was a simple accident), which was promptly ruled an attack by the US Navys investigation which led to war. The Gulf of Tonkin incident is even more suspicious. There are viable theories that Roosevelt and/or Churchill had fore knowledge of the Pearl Harbor attack, but allowed it to happen. However, I fail to see why the US government, or even a small group of zealous anti gun people, would go to the enormous lengths they would have to go to, simply to make a fake video of yet one more incident of gun violence to add to the hundreds of others, with the aim of swaying public opinion into enacting a gun ban. The false flag alarmists for the Virginia shooting contradict themselves repeatedly, NEVER present any REAL evidence that it was fake, which would be VERY EASY to do with a minimal amount of investigation. Why dont they? Because the evidence that would be abundant if they were right does not exist. Because it was a real shooting, by a real, disgruntled, fired ex-employee, who like so many other losers who have committed murder and thrown their own lives down the toilet, killed himself. Like I said before, people who rabidly want to believe something will never let facts get in their way. They are the saddest in our society, for they dont need a government to dupe them; they do it to themselves. So Jewish-seeming is Joe Biden that I was shocked to find out early this year that he is not. Well, may as well be 
2	State Makes Massive Move, Takes THIS Epic Stand Against Obama Amid the Target transgender bathroom policy controversy, North Carolina has taken preemptive action to prohibit people from using bathrooms that dont correspond to the gender they were born as. Now, the federal government is telling the state that its legislation violates federal civil rights lawand it can either respond or risk losing federal funding. NBC News reported that Governor Pat McCrory has decided to sue the federal government for attempting to rewrite the law to get their way. Im taking this initiative to ensure that North Carolina continues to receive federal funding until the courts resolve this issue, he commented in a statement. According to McCrory, transgendered people are not protected under the Civil Rights Act. The federal government, he argues, has no right to force a state to change its policies regarding transgender men and women under that law. The Obama administration is bypassing Congress by attempting to rewrite the law and set restroom policies for public and private employers across the country, not just North Carolina, McCrory argued.This is now a national issue that applies to every state and it needs to be resolved at the federal level. What do you think? Do you agree with McCrory that states have a right to decide their own bathroom policies? 
1	In the aftermath of yesterdays bombings at the Boston Marathon, which left three dead and over 100 wounded, authorities announced this morning that, sadly, there are actually numerous people who could have carried out the attack. While many details are still unclear, we can confirm that, as awful and depressing as it is to say, there are actually many, many people out there who would have wanted to set off an explosive device on a crowded street corner full of innocent men, women, and children, FBI Special Agent in Charge Rick DesLauriers told reporters, adding that authorities are parsing through all available photo and video evidence in order to narrow down what is, unfortunately but undeniably, a really rather long list of potential suspects. The fact is, there is a disturbingly high number of people in the world who are capable of planning and executing such an attack, and plenty who would devote a considerable amount of their time and resources to doing so. Moreover, while it may sound terrible, scores and scores of people who are alive on this planet right now would actually be able to convince themselves that carrying out a deadly bombing attack on civilians running a marathon would somehow be the right thing to do, DesLauriers continued. You really have no idea, honestly, how many people could tell themselves this and believe it with every fiber of their being. DesLauriers went on to stress that, of the suspects potentially responsible for the attack, there are hundreds more within the United States alone who are in all likelihood planning similar, possibly more devastating attacks in the near future. The FBI special agent also told reporters that, though the knowledge of it makes him completely sick to his stomach, there are conceivably thousands, if not millions, around the world who are unable to carry out such an attack themselves, but actually derived pleasure and joy from the sight of its resulting carnage. The investigation is ongoing and will probably continue for some time, because there is, appallingly, a true abundance of deranged individuals who would gladly put explosive devices inside trash cans next to where large crowds gather to cheer on their loved ones to the finish line of a race, said DesLauriers. Furthermore, there are somehow actual humans currently in existence who would have absolutely no difficultyno difficulty whatsoeverin bringing themselves to detonate those explosives knowing full well the amount of potential casualties and critical injuries they would cause. Tragically, these are the only pieces of information of which we are 100 percent certain, DesLauriers added. Local officials from the Boston Police Department echoed DesLauriers comments, telling reporters that the search for the perpetrators will, unbelievably, require a diligent, around-the-clock search through a shockingly large pool of potential suspects. Patriots Day has long been a tradition in which the people of Massachusetts gather together to eat food, watch sports, and generally enjoy the day with their families and friends, and there are, I truly hate to say, a host of total psychopaths both here and abroad who would go to great lengths to completely rob everyone of that, and to rob us all of whatever trace of innocence and personal well-being we have left, said Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis. Rest assured, however, we have people working around the clock trying to narrow down the individual or individuals who, heartbreakingly, will be far from the last to attempt something like what happened yesterday.

2	The View To Be Cancelled Because Of THIS According to reports, ABC may be cancelling the daytime talk show The View. The show has seen a significant drop in ratings with the departure of Barbara Walters and the signing of ODonnell and Whoopi Goldberg. Now, it appears that ABC can longer sustain these hits to ratings. The brass at ABC feels like theyve tried to do everything possible to breathe new life into this show, one source at ABC told reporters. Theyre ready to abandon ship at this point. ABC feels its exhausted their options with The View and now its time to expand the existing franchise, GMA. The source notes that the show could end as soon as the current season is over. What do you think? Would you be happy to see ODonnell and Goldberg off the air? 
1	According to a study released Monday by the Environmental Working Group, the best defense against the harmful effects of the sun's rays is a thick coating of human blood. 'We found that a generous application of human blood blocks 98 percent more UVA and UVB rays than standard SPF 30 sunscreen lotions,' said researcher Dr. Carl Lapkins, adding that while pig and chicken blood can mildly decrease the risk of skin cancer, human blood ultimately offers the most effective form of protection. 'An additional layer of fresh blood should be applied for each hour spent outdoors, especially if you're swimming. Infants, who are more vulnerable to sun exposure, should be completely submerged in a bucket of blood before going outside, and re-dunked frequently.' Lapkins added that to avoid missing a spot, one should ask for a friend's help when spreading blood on hard-to-reach areas. 
1	Following todays mass shooting that left 20 young children dead at a Connecticut elementary school, numerous sources across the country reported that their government-protected right to own a portable device that propels small masses of metal through the air at lethal rates of speed is completely worth any such consequences. Its my God-given right and a founding principle of this country that I be able to own a [piece of metal that launches other smaller pieces of metal great distances, one after the other], and if a few deaths here and there is the price we have to pay for that freedom, then so be it, said Lawrence Crane of nearby Danbury, CT, who is such a staunch advocate of the portable deadly-pellet-flinging apparatuses that he keeps multiple versions of such mechanisms in his home, often carries one with him, and is a member of a club whose sole purpose is to celebrate these assembled steel things and the small bits of metal they send flying. Sure, its sad that a few kids died, but its far better than the tyranny that would result if the government came and took away all our [mechanical contraptions that make a lot of little pointy chunks of metal go through the air fast]. Can you even imagine what kind of horrible world that would be? The man added that if the events that unfolded today led lawmakers to question his ability to possess any such items of steel and lead, authorities would have to pry the [wholly inanimate mechanical object, nothing more, nothing less] from [his] dead hands. 
1	Your girlfriend of four months, University Xerox employee Rebecca Kohler, assured you Monday that she was 'not mad' about being unable to reach you on the phone Saturday night, even though you said you would probably be home. 'For the last time, I'm not angry at you, goddamnit!' a furious Kohler said. 'Christ, are you trying to make me mad?' The perfectly fine Kohler then proceeded to violently three-hole-punch stacks of photocopies and explain to her coworker, Annabelle Agneau, that the only person she was mad at was herself, for having thought you might be different. 
1	Hoping to have as little contact as possible with the large group of college-aged men until they left the restaurant, every member of the waitstaff at a local Ruby Tuesday admitted Friday that they were actively avoiding a large table conducting their fantasy football draft. I got their food and drink orders all in one swoop and then booked it back to the kitchen before they could ask for anything elseas soon as I drop off these buffalo wings, Im staying away from them at all costs, said server Heather Lipscomb, adding that she brought two extra pitchers of beer for the 10 menseveral of whom were wearing NFL jerseysin the hopes that they wouldnt need anything else for the rest of the night. One of them kept waving at me as I was bringing some entres over to another table in my section, but I just kept my head down and pretended I didnt notice, and everyone else working tonight is pretty much treating that whole area as a no-fly zone. Look, they already have their little draft printouts and laptops spread all over the two tables that [hostess] Melissa had to push together for themGod, I hate them. At press time, after successfully ignoring them for a full hour, several waiters audibly groaned upon overhearing that the group was only just about to start their draft. 
2	BREAKING: Megyn Kelly Is Leaving Fox News Megyn Kelly has been under fire since hosting the GOP debates. Many critics have accused her of attacking Donald Trump and other candidates to increase ratings and fuel her own agenda. She was supposed to be acting as a moderator. Now, more than 50,000 people have signed a petition demanding that she be banned from hosting a debate. She also saw backlash and criticism from her own colleagues at Fox News. So it was no surprise that Kelly announced that she would be going on vacation for a few weeks during The Kelly File on Wednesday. Fans and critics of Kellys fell that this is no accident. Check out some of their tweets below and tell us what you think: @megynkelly And a lousy performance as a so-called moderator can ruin ones career. Think about that while on vacation, dear. @megynkelly now you ask for feedback? Take a long vacation til the election is done.

Its that time of year again for us to crack open the cold storage locker and melt the freezer burn off of our succulent jumbo shrimp, said Salli Setta, president of the Red Lobster brand, who suggested people also try the restaurants signature Twice-Reheated Breadsticks or Room-Temperature Portofino Seafood Bake. So bring the whole family down for a delectable feast, right from the freezer to a plastic bag of boiling water to your table! Setta added that customers should act fast because the promotion only lasts until January 1, after which the restaurant will transition to its Leftover Shrimp Fiesta. 
1	Iconic Bears middle linebacker Brian Urlacher officially announced his retirement from the NFL Wednesday, despite acknowledging that he still had a lot of injuries left in the tank. Ive decided that now is the time to end my playing career, even though Im very confident that I could continue suffering injuries at a high level for a couple more seasons, Urlacher wrote in a statement to reporters, adding that his decision largely hinged on the fact that he could no longer get hurt playing for the Bears. Im still very much capable of going out there and straining my hamstrings, fracturing the bones in my arms, and tearing my knee ligaments. And theres no doubt in my mind that I could be listed as questionable for 16 games next season, but after 13 years in the league, my choice to retire is final. Urlacher went on to thank the Bears organization and fans, claiming that he will never forget the time he spent on the teams sidelines last season.

3	Government Increasingly Seeks Access to Private Health Records in Gun Permit ProcessMany doctors concerned about physician involvement in concealed-weapon permit process A new survey of North Carolina doctors finds that many are concerned about the increasing number of requests they are receiving to assess their patients competency to carry concealed weapons. In particular, a majority of physicians who responded to the survey said they were worried about the potential ethical consequences in the doctor-patient relationship if they participated in the concealed-weapon permit process. This is not a small problem, said Dr. Adam Goldstein, corresponding author of the study and a professor in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. More than 20 percent of the physicians we surveyed have been asked to sign competency permits for concealed weapons, and a majority of them do not feel they can adequately assess the physical or mental competence of their patients to safely have a concealed weapons permit. The study, published as a research letter in the June 29, 2014 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, is believed to be the first that examines physicians attitudes, beliefs and behaviors regarding their emerging role in the assessment of physical and mental competency and the licensing of concealed weapons. The survey was sent to 600 physicians registered with the North Carolina Medical Board and in active practice in October 2013. Of the 600 surveys sent, 225 completed surveys were returned. The survey found that physicians involved in concealed-weapon permitting sign off on permits almost 80 percent of the time, despite their uncertainty. If physicians do not feel that they can adequately assess their patients competence yet are still giving approval for concealed-weapon permits, then there is something wrong with the system, Pierson said. There are things we can do now to change this, said Barnhouse, a professor of Family Medicine at UNC. We discovered that the great majority of physicians feel that assessments for concealed weapons permits should best be done by providers specifically trained in making such assessments, presumably with standards to make assessments about mental and physical competence. The study concludes that more research in this area is needed. This study was conducted by University of North Carolina. 
3	Vote to End U.S. Sovereignty Way Too Close For ComfortCatherine J. Frompovich Even though the vote took place in 2013, U.S. citizens are very concerned about it and want those who voted for the UN Small Arms Treaty to have to reap the rewards of their actions. The UN Small Arms Treaty (Source) For my part, it would be a good idea if the USA were to leave the UN and ask the UN to relocate its headquarters elsewhere. Notation should be made of the problems the European Union is having with second thoughts from some countries about withdrawing [1,2,3,4] apparently due to controls they didnt expect. Control NEVER works and breed rebellion, as most despots in history found out, so the USA should be out front in fighting against it. Furthermore, any president either past, present, or future who supports the surrender of U.S. sovereignty, ought to be considered a traitor, similar to actions the British crown took in the late 1700s when the colonists were fighting for independence from what they considered a ruling tyrant. Are there any differences between then and now? The main difference today is the media and press, who have bought into and apparently promote the control agenda, something that seems unfathomable if one is a TRUE American who knows our countrys history, glorious past, and realizes the current horrors going on in the names of change, politics and, even as some think, conspiracies by those wanting repressive controls through socialism. The best way to get total control over a population is to take away everyones capability to resistance. There is no more expedient way to do that in the USA than to negate the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, i.e., the Right to Bear Arms and DEFEND oneself, than to take away peoples guns. The other is clamping down on your rights to think and talk about whats going on that is repressive. Let me state and affirm emphatically that I do not believe in nor support violence. However, the current political climate in the USA is not what U.S. citizens expect nor want. If politicians who want to surrender U.S. sovereignty to others vote to do that, then that is not acceptable and they should be made to surrender their seats in Congress either willingly, by impeachment, or by voting them out of office in the November 4, 2014 mid-term elections. United we stand; divided we fall. I am not the first and, hopefully, not the last who will declare those immortal words. United we stand, divided we fall. Let us not split into factions which must destroy that union upon which our existence hangs, was the plea uttered by Patrick Henry in March of 1799. Let us remember the World War II slogan, which I remember seeing as a child. We should resolve this IS America; for this we will fight! And no one will take it away from us. ______________ Now, Which 46 Senators Voted to Destroy Us? Well, let their names become known. See below in a 53-46 vote, the Senate narrowly passed a measure that will stop the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty. The Statement of Purpose from the Bill reads: To uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty. The U.N. Small Arms Treaty, which has been championed by the Obama Administration, would have effectively placed a global ban on the import and export of small firearms. The ban would have affected all private gun owners in the U.S. And, had language that would have implemented an international gun registry. Now get this, on all private guns and ammo. Astonishingly, 46 out of our 100 United States Senators were willing to give away our Constitutional rights to a foreign power. Here are the 46 senators who voted to give your U.S. Constitutional rights to the U.N.

2	Something Extremely Disturbing Just Happened On Our Border.. See For Yourself Throughout his presidency, Barack Obama has shown that he prioritizes illegal immigrants than he does about those living in our country legally. He proved that once again this week when his Immigration and Customers Enforcement agency released a group of 40 illegal immigrant women at a bus stop in South Texas. The agents reportedly released the women with their personal belongings on the condition that they appear before an immigration judge at some point in the future. President Obama has rolled out the red carpet for illegal immigrants, Border Patrol Agent Hector Garza, president of the National Border Patrol Council Local 2455 told reporters. Most of the illegal immigrant families and unaccompanied children used to cross in the Rio Grande Valley. Now, we are seeing massive numbers in the Laredo Sector as well. It is more than likely that the women will head to Houston or San Antonio before moving to locations all throughout the U.S. Our agents frequently put their lives at risk to apprehend these illegal border crossers and stop the flow of drugs, Garza commented. Despite the risks taken to make these apprehensions, the Obama Administration simply lets them go. It wears on our agents morale. We want to do our job and protect this country. Now, we are learning that many of the immigrants processed by ICE are simply released on their own recognizance with a promise to appear for an immigration hearing at some future date, Garza concluded. 
1	After more than five decades of tireless work, brave exploration, and technological innovation aimed at a single objective, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration announced Wednesday that it had finally completed its mission to find and kill God. NASA officials celebrate after finally locating and murdering the Supreme Being. 'I am ecstatic to tell you all today that we have beheld the awesome visage of the supreme architect of the cosmos, and we have murdered Him,' jubilant administrator Charles Bolden said after being drenched with champagne by other celebrating NASA employees. 'There have been innumerable setbacks, missteps, and hardships over the past 50 years, but we always stayed true to our ultimate goal and we never gave up.' 'We finally got the son of a bitch!' Bolden continued. 'He's dead! God is dead!' According to officials, God was killed this morning on the moon by a highly trained team of seven astronauts. He was reportedly lured into a trap after coming into contact with the Voyager 2 probe, which was transmitting a false message that NASA wanted to broker a truce with God on 'neutral ground.' Astronauts prepare the Creator's body for its return to Earth. 'One of our lunar rovers captured an image of God at approximately 2100 hours last night, and we immediately launched a vessel manned by our best assassins,' said Richard Egan, Mission Control Chief at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. 'After exiting the lunar lander, the astronauts approached God under the false pretense of peace, but He must have sensed something was amiss and fled. Our men gave chase in a moon buggy, finally overtaking Him in a crater where He was subdued after several minutes of violent hand-to-hand combat.' Egan told reporters that it took as many as five highly trained astronauts to fully restrain the Supreme Being. He also confirmed that three of the astronauts sent to kill God were badly injured, but were expected to recover. 'He was damn fast. And strongas strong as anyone I've ever engaged,' said Captain Trevor Sullivan, the astronaut who, after his weary team dragged a bloodied and beaten God back to the lunar module, executed Him with a single gunshot to the head. 'He fought like a wild animal, and the fact that He's omnipotent really worked against us. But we know a few tricks ourselves, and after all was said and done, we took Him down for good.' 'Gotta give Him credit, though, God was defiant right up until the end. Scrappy bastard spit right in my face just before I pulled the trigger,' added Sullivan, smiling. NASA was founded in 1958 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower for the express purpose of locating and assassinating God. By 1969, it had completed a successful lunar landing, bringing mankind that much closer to neutralizing the Almighty. It was in that year that U.S. astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first to step on the moon, and uttered the legendary phrase, 'Where are you, God, you fucking faggot? Come and get me!' Over the years, officials told reporters, God had proved to be an elusive and formidable foe. In 1986, He destroyed the Challenger shuttle, killing all seven crew members, including Christa McAuliffe, a special operative who had been given orders to seduce and then strangle God with garrote wire. The Lord subsequently blew up the Columbia Destroyer Shuttle on reentry in 2003, and several times sabotaged the Hubble Space Telescope, a large piece of surveillance equipment launched into orbit in 1990 to monitor His activities. 'I can't tell you how many times God gave us the slip,' NASA aerospace engineer David Williamson said. 'We learned pretty quickly that you couldn't underestimate Him, not for a second. He was an unbelievably intelligent and resourceful enemy, and if you made even the smallest mistake, you can bet He'd make you pay for it.' Sullivan's begrudging respect for God was echoed by many other NASA officials and employees. Though most have spent the majority of their adult lives working toward killing God, a certain reverence for the deceased deity pervaded NASA headquarters. 'It's ironic that despite all of the technological advances and powerful weapons we've made, it was God's trusting and compassionate nature that was His final undoing,' said Buzz Aldrin, a former astronaut who ripped out pages of the Bible on the moon's surface in an effort to enrage God and draw Him out of hiding. 'I mean, you've really got to hand it to Him. He gave us one hell of a fight.' 'I only wish it had been me personally who got to pull the trigger on that cocksucker,' Aldrin added. 
3	Private Police: Mercenaries for the American Police StateJohn W. Whitehead Its one thing to know and exercise your rights when a police officer pulls you over, but what rights do you have when a private copentrusted with all of the powers of a government cop but not held to the same legal standardspulls you over and subjects you to a stop-and-frisk or, worse, causes you to disappear into a Gitmo-esque detention center not unlike the one employed by Chicago police at Homan Square? For that matter, how do you even begin to know who youre dealing with, given that these private cops often wear police uniforms, carry police-grade weapons, and perform many of the same duties as public cops, including carrying out SWAT team raids, issuing tickets and firing their weapons. This is the growing dilemma we now face as private police officers outnumber public officers (more than two to one), and the corporate elite transforms the face of policing in America into a privatized affair that operates beyond the reach of the Fourth Amendment. Mind you, its not as if we had many rights to speak of, anyhow. Owing to the general complacency of the courts and legislatures, the Fourth Amendment has already been so watered down, battered and bruised as to provide little practical protection against police abuses. Indeed, as I make clear in my book A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State, were already operating in a police state in which police have carte blanche authority to probe, poke, pinch, taser, search, seize, strip and generally manhandle anyone they see fit in almost any circumstance. Expanding on these police powers, the U.S. Supreme Court recently gave law enforcement officials tacit approval to collect DNA from any person, at any time. However, whatever scant protection the weakened Fourth Amendment provides us dissipates in the face of privatized police, who are paid by corporations working in partnership with the government. Talk about a diabolical end run around the Constitution. Weve been so busy worrying about militarized police, police who shoot citizens first and ask questions later, police who shoot unarmed people, etc., that we failed to take notice of the corporate army that was being assembled under our very noses. Looks like weve been outfoxed, outmaneuvered and were about to be out of luck. Indeed, if militarized police have become the governments standing army, privatized police are its private armyguns for hire, if you will. This phenomenon can be seen from California to New York, and in almost every state in between. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the private security industry is undergoing a boom right now, with most of the growth coming about due to private police doing the jobs once held by public police. For instance, Foley, Minnesota, population 2600, replaced its police force with private guards Technically, a private police force is one that is owned or controlled by a non-governmental body such as a corporation. Those who advocate for privatized services and limited government hail the shift towards private police as a step in the right direction by getting the government out of the business of policing and allow market principles to dictate an officers success, i.e., if an officer abuses his authority, he can easily be fired. Read the fine print, however, and youll find that these private police aka guns-for-hire a.k.a. private armies a.k.a. company police officers a.k.a. secret police a.k.a. conservators of the police a.k.a. rent-a-cops dont exactly remove the government from the equation. Instead, they merely allow them to work behind the scenes, conveniently insulated from any accusations of wrongdoing or demands for transparency. Indeed, most private police officers are either working fo rprivate security firms that are contracted by the government or are government workers moonlighting on their time off. What began as a job detail for wealthy communities and businesses looking to discourage burglaries has snowballed into a lucrative enterprise for private corporations. Today these private police can be found wherever extra security is needed: at hospitals, universities, banks, shopping malls, gated communities, you name it. As historian Heather Ann Thompson notes, private security firms have come substantially to supplement, if not completely to replace, the publicly-funded public safety presence of troubled inner cities ranging from Oakland, to New Orleans, to small towns in states such Minnesota, to entire neighborhoodssometimes extremely rich, sometimes desperately poorin urban centers such as Atlanta and Baltimore. For example, in New Orleans, a 50-person private police squad funded by a voluntary hotel tax is being charged with enforcing traffic, zoning and other non-emergency laws in the French Quarter. In Seattle, off-duty Seattle Police officers moonlighting as a private security force patrol wealthy neighborhoods approximately six nights/days a week for five hours each shift. Officers are in uniform, carry police radios and their police firearms and drive unmarked personal vehicles. In California, private mercenariesmany of them ex-U.S. Special Forces, Army Rangers and other combat veteransequipped with AR-15 rifles use unmarked helicopters to police cannabis farms and cut down private gardens without a warrant. Yet while these private police firms enjoy the trappings of government agenciesthe weaponry, the arrest and shoot authority, even the ability to ticket and frisk theyre often poorly trained, inadequately screened, poorly regulated and heavily armed. Now if that sounds a lot like public police officers, you wouldnt be far wrong. First off, the label of private is dubious at best. Mind you, this is a far cry from a privatization of police. These are guns for hire, answerable to corporations who are already in bed with the government. They are extensions of the government without even the pretense of public accountability. One security consultant likened the relationship between public and private police to public healthcare: Its basically, the government provides a certain base level. If you want more than that, you pay for it yourself. The University of Chicagos police department (UCPD) is a prime example of how private security firms are being entrusted with the legal status of private police forces (which sets them beyond the reach of the rule of law) and the powers of public ones. With a jurisdiction that covers a six-square-mile area and is home to 65,000 individuals, the majority of whom are not students, UCPD is one of the largest private security forces in America. The private police agency, modeled after the tactics of NYPD chief William Bratton, criminalizes nonviolent activities such as loitering, vandalism, smoking marijuana, and dancing recklessly and punishes minor infractions severely in order to discourage violent crime. To this end, the UCPD can search, ticket, arrest, and detain anyone they choosewithout being required to disclose to the public its reasons for doing so. Not surprisingly, the UCPD has been accused of using racial profiling to target individuals for stop-and-frisks. Second, these private contractors are operating beyond the reach of the law. For example, although private police in Ohio are authorized by the state to carry handguns, use deadly force and detain, search and arrest people, they are permitted to keep their arrest and incident reports under wraps. Moreover, the public is not permitted to check the officers background or conduct records, including their use-of-force and discipline histories. As attorney Fred Gittes remarked, There is no accountability. They have the greatest power that society can invest in people the power to use deadly force and make arrests. Yet, the public and public entities have no practical access to information about their behavior, eluding the ability to hold anyone accountable. So what happens when the government hires out its dirty deeds to contractors who arent quite so discriminating about abiding by constitutional safeguards, especially as they relate to searches and heavy-handed tactics? If you think police abuses are worrisome, security expert Bruce Schneier warns that abuses of power, brutality, and illegal behavior are much more common among private security guards than real police. As Schneier points out, Many of the laws that protect us from police abuse do not apply to the private sector.Constitutional safeguards that regulate police conduct, interrogation and evidence collection do not apply to private individuals. Information that is illegal for the government to collect about you can be collected by commercial data brokers, then purchased by the police. Weve all seen policemen reading people their rights on television cop shows. If youre detained by a private security guard, you dont have nearly as many rights. Third, more often than not, the same individuals are serving in both capacities, first on the government payroll, then moonlighting for the corporations. Not surprisingly, given the demand for private police, youll find that police in most cities work privately while they are off-duty. Some private officers started off as public officers, then made the switchonce they saw how lucrative the field could be. This gives rise to another interesting phenomenon, a schism, if you will, between what is permissible in the private sector versus and what is allowed in the public sector, and how it affects those who travel between both worlds. We saw this played out in St. Louis, Missouri, when an off-duty police officer, working a secondary shift for a private security firm, shot and killed a teenager. Fourth, what few realize is that these private police agencies are actually given their police powers by state courts and legislatures, which do not require them to act in accordance with the Constitutions strictures or be accountable to we the people. As legal analyst Timothy Geigner observes, Theyre hiding from public scrutiny behind the veil of incorporation, which may rank right up there among the most cynical things a government organization has ever done. Its a move one might find in the corporate republic of some dystopian novel. I say that because its truly not as though the police departments in question are attempting to claim some kind of exemption within public records law. Theyre just putting up a stone wall. Its not as if we have much in the way of local, publicly accountable police forces now; they all answer to the militarized agencies that provide their equipment and training. These private cops simply swell the governments ranks and serve as the private arm of the law. In fact, the Department of Justice has been one of the most vocal advocates for the benefits that private securitywhich has twice the budget and manpower as their government counterpartscan provide in partnership with public police. These so-called benefits are outlined in the DOJs guidebook entitled Operation Partnership: Practices and Trends in Law Enforcement and Private Security Collaborations, which focuses on how both sectors can share cutting-edge technology, information, and personnel resources. Sounds cozy, doesnt it? As history shows, were not forging a new path with these private police agencies, either. In fact, were simply following a model established long ago, not only by Hitler and Mussolini, who relied on private guards to do their bidding, but also by the likes of Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller, who relied on their own private police force, the Pinkertons, who had broad authority to harass or hurt anyone their employers deemed a threatbe they a worker trying to get a fair wage or a poor person begging near the doorstep of a mansion. Nevertheless as historian Heather Ann Thompson points out, despite countless historical accounts of why private policing of public spaces is a bad idea in a democracy, ordinary Americans have raised little ruckus today when, once again, only those Americans with money are assured access to security and protection. Thompson continues: Worse, astonishing faith has been expressed in the much-touted proposition that private police forces, in fact, act in the best interests of the public. Where is the concern, if not the outrage, that there is virtually no regulation when it comes to private policing in Americas inner cities? Not only can individuals with little if any training police public spaces, but in various locales they are even authorized to make arrests and wield firearms. What is more, unlike public police, private security officers are not required by law to read a suspect his or her Miranda Rights and, more incredibly, they are allowed to use force, in some circumstances even deadly force, if they deem it necessary to do so. What were finding ourselves faced with is a government of mercenaries, bought and paid for with our tax dollars, all the while claiming to be beyond the reach of the Constitutions dictates. When all is said and done, privatization in the American police state amounts to little more than the corporate elite providing cover for government wrong-doing. Either way, the American citizen loses. Constitutional attorney and author John W. Whitehead is founder and president of The Rutherford Institutewhere this article first appeared.

3	Bitcoin Rush Spills Over to Alternative Digital CurrenciesEric Blair That was a week ago when the price of one Bitcoin was a mere $650. Today it flirts with $1000 and its market cap blew through the $10 billion mark yesterday. But the surge of government-issued money flowing into digital currencies doesnt stop with Bitcoin. Almost all of the lesser known alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins) experienced massive gains in the last few days, too. Look at the market caps the top cryptocurrencies below. Pay attention to the % Change and the graphs: Once you have some Bitcoin, Cryptsy makes it super easy to trade for other altcoins. I even managed to turn 2 bitcoins into 7 bitcoins there in a very short period. The Bitcoin gains of late feel different from Aprils bubble. It feels more like Bitcoin is starting to reach critical mass, globally. And it seems its popularity spawned an entirely new asset class called cryptocurrencies to invest in. Its tough to say what the future holds for Bitcoin or these other altcoins. They may be purely speculative at the moment, However, strangely, I feel more secure holding them than I do with Federal Reserve Notes. Check out Cryptsy to trade Bitcoins and altcoins. 
3	Gold Jumps Above $1,100 an Ounce as Stock Market PlummetsBy Joshua Krause The reason for these dramatic moves is no mystery. Investors are placing their bets on these safe haven assets after several weeks of frightening economic news. Today saw the Dow briefly plunge 500 points, the SP 500 reached its lowest level since February of 2014, and nearly 1,400 stocks on the New York Stock Exchange fell to 52-week lows. Global economic news isnt looking any better either. China recently reported its slowest economic growth in 25 years. Oil prices continue to fall, and global shipping is dead in the water. In fact, there is so little demand to ship goods, that it is now cheaper to rent a dry bulk tanker than it is to rent a Ferrari. However, its hard to say if precious metals are finally ready to break out. Gold and silver have had little bumps like this before that didnt amount to anything. But market fears are the greatest drivers of precious metal demand, so if the global economy continues to take a beating in the months ahead, then we will likely see a new gold rally in the near future.

3	What the Media Didnt Tell You About SyriaBy Ben Swann 
3	Why hasnt the US government snatched Ed Snowden yet?Jon Rappoport Well, Ed Snowden proved it, didnt he? He strolled into work with a thumb drive, plugged in, and stole the holy of holies. This is the vaunted NSA were talking about. They can reach out and spy on anybody in the world, but they just didnt remember to put safeguards in place, in their own offices. They forgot. For years. You know, just an oops. And people nod and shrug when they hear about it. The NSA says, Now that were aware of the problem, were going to install new procedures to tighten security. Sure. And then there is this. The NSA can spy on anyone in the world, but they cant find Ed Snowden now. So to sum up: were supposed to believe NSA cant protect their own files, and they cant find the most wanted man in the world. People actually accept this nonsense. So the question arises: if the NSA really does know where Snowden is right now, why hasnt the Pentagon dispatched a team to snatch him and bring him home? Or why hasnt the team killed him? And two, the groundswell of support for Snowden is growing at a rapid pace. Can you imagine what could happen if the government grabbed Snowden and brought him home to go on trial for treason? The uproar would explode. The NSA would find itself under far greater attack. Politicians like Pelosi and Feinstein, whove come out against Snowden, could easily be swept away on the tide. The current image of Snowden is sincere, honest, frank, and self-sacrificing. He doesnt want to go after individual spies. He wants to change the system. As we speak, government-contracted PR people and psyop specialists are burning the midnight oil, doing a risk-benefit analysis, trying to figure out how they could handle bringing Snowden home and placing him on trial. How they could change his image. Is it worth it? What happens if they let Snowden roam free for a few more months? If they bring him home, can they spin media coverage to make him look bad? Worse than bad? Will that backfire? Do they have enough media ducks lined up? Will Brian Williams, Scott Pelley, and Dianne Sawyer tune up just right on this issue? Will they be able to hypnotize enough of the public into believing Snowden is a traitor? What about the online community, which is firmly on Snowdens side after the revelations about nine tech giants cooperating fully with the NSA? How about 100,000 sites and bloggers going wild about the injustice of snatching Snowden and putting him on trial? If, as Ive argued in previous articles (see Spygate on this blog), Snowden is actually still working for his old employer, the CIA, and forwarding a turf war between the CIA and NSA, wed have to say CIA has done a good job in positioning Snowden. The CIA might be crazy, but they arent (always) stupid. Right out of the box, Snowden made a complete statement to the press about his intentions and motives. He just wants to expose the illegal spying on all US citizens so the public can decide what should be done, because after all, this is still a democracy. Snowden says he doesnt want praise. Hes not a hero. He just wants transparency. And the NSA is breaking the law over and over. Snowden looks the part. Young, bright. A self-effacing yet steadfast nerd. Perfect. Nothing nasty about him. He doesnt have that Julian Assange edge. Hes just a boy. Look at him. He obviously means well. Honorable hero? CIA operative? Either way, the US government is in a pickle. Its not going to be a slam-dunk with this guy. In a related issue, its astonishing (to anyone who is awake) that the Congress hasnt come down on NSA like a ton of bricks. We should be hearing a grilling like this, directed at NSA head, Keith Alexander: Let me get this straight, General Alexander. Snowden captured and stole your most secret data. Anyone of his rank at NSA could have done the same, because you have no security protection against it. And now, with the most sophisticated spying system in the world, you cant find Snowden. This makes the NSA the most bumbling stumbling trillion-dollar organization in the history of mankind. Can you give me a good reason why we shouldnt move to de-fund NSA completely and start over from scratch? This is outrageous. And that would just be the beginning of the assault. Yet, thats not what were getting. Instead, so far, were hearing a few modest criticisms. Why? The most obvious answer is, Congress is afraid of the NSA. This bunch of legislators, these crooks and con men and perverts and felonious scum are scared that theyve been under the NSA spying lens for a long time. And what could come crawling out of NSA files is terrifying to them. So they hold still. They take a deep breath. They pray for safety. They go on the attack against Snowden. They fall all over themselves calling Snowden a vile traitor who must be brought to justice. Which tells you something about whos running things in Washington. It also tells you something about the level of resentment thats built up over the years against the NSA. Not just in the Congress. In certain quarters of the CIA and the elite media, because NSA has been spying on reporters and editors and taking huge chunks of federal budget $ away from the CIA. Lots of important people have been hoping for a way to take down NSA a peg or two. So this is the kind of Congressional-NSA conversation thats going on right now, behind closed doors in Washington: Heres the thing, General Alexander. We spoken about this before. Your NSA has been invading our lives with your snooping for far too long. Now we have a trump card. Ed Snowden. Were playing it. Im not admitting hes our creature, Im just saying hes doing the kind of work we ourselves should have done years ago. So we want some give and take here. What kind of give and take? Get off our backs. Well go easy on you. We wont turn all our guns on you. Well call Snowden a traitor. Well focus all the public attention on him. But give us our privacy back. Now. Well, I suppose we might do that. But we have to know youre setting us free to do whatever the hell we want to do, without fear of being seen doing it. We need guarantees. How might that work? We need people we appoint to have oversight on NSA. Real oversight. The beginnings of an uneasy truce. A problematic truce, to be sure. Oh, people might say, this sort of dealing never takes place. Really? And youre living in what world? The rainbow happy-happy goody-good sandbox planet just to the left of Oz? The only question is, do the political enemies of NSA have enough juice yet, from the Snowden affair, to engage in this kind of conversation and come out with a win? But thats about tactics. The intention is clear. There are political players who want to take the NSA down a notch. Some of them may be honorable patriots; but some of them are definitely rank criminals in politicians clothing, who want to feel free from the Big Watching Eye. Ed Snowden is their man of the hour. They will use him and what he symbolizes to make hay while the sun shines. Why is all this important? And why does it matter who Snowden really represents? Its important because, the way this political game works, the NSA will escape the current scandal with its major spying programs intact, there will be dirty deals and compromises, and the NSA will still hold tremendous power. No one in Washington imagines that NSAs spying on private American citizens will significantly decline. If people really understood that, if they understood that no savior is coming to unhook NSAs computers, they might begin to view the Snowden affair differently. They might be willing to consider the real games that are being played. They might admit that what we need is a nullification of Washington power that goes far beyond anything that Ed Snowden can provide. Our real problem is the limited mind, or perhaps we should call it the literal mind. The literal mind cant conceive of the levels of deception and bent deal-making below the surface of events presented on the evening news. The literal mind cant, for example entertain the possibility that Snowdens revealed some important (though hardly surprising) information, while at the same time, he has less than the purest of motives. The literal mind is a programmed mind. You present it with the image of the most competent and brilliant spying agency in the world, the NSA, and the fact that this agency cant find its own ex-employee, Ed Snowden, and there is no perceived problem. No inconsistency. The literal mind accepts all contradictions like hundred-dollar bills. You could, for example, spend a year educating that mind about the US corporations that aided the Nazis in World War 2. You could spell out all the details. IBM, ITT, Standard Oil, etc. And then, you could ask, Do you think there is any chance the War was manipulated? And that mind would say, Of course not. It was us versus them. You could say, The science on manmade global warming is settled, and the literal mind would never think of replying, Explain what you mean by settled. Who settled it? Exactly how? You could say, Every year in the US, pharmaceutical drugs kill a minimum of 106,000 people. Nutritional supplements kill no one. But the FDA, which permits those drugs to enter the marketplace, relentlessly attacks supplements. It does nothing to stem the tide of deaths owing to the medical drugs. The literal mind would reply, Yes? And? So? Some preposterous doofus on the news says, Ed Snowden is walking around with three laptops that contain the deepest secrets of the NSA. Chinese or Russian hackers could have already gained access to all that information. The literal mind would never wonder why, then, the NSA cant accomplish the same feat and discover what Snowden has pilfered. The literal mind, under guidance from elite media anchors, will connect the dots directly in front of it, but it will avoid, at all costs, imagination. It will never posit alternative realities or explanations which then make those dots take on different meaning, fuller and deeper and truer meaning. The literal mind is full of fear and protection. It wants to protect itself and it is afraid that something novel might swim into view and shatter it to pieces. The literal mind is a clog in the bloodstream of life. Its a believer in the extreme fairy tale of ordinary reality. The literal mind imports, wholesale, images of ordinary reality and clings to them like a leech. The literal mind, when it accidentally rubs up against creative life, retreats into a corner and mutters and curses. The literal mind lives a second-hand existence through the news, which is the only food it can eat. When the literal mind reaches the end of its tether, it seeks out codified religious blather invented by a priest class for the purpose of cutting people off from their own authentic spiritual energies and insights and connections. The literal mind is a coward. It only asks for other cowards with which it can commune. The day is too long, the night is too long, the fear is too great. The literal mind must therefore play out the string of a shrunken number of days and wither away, hoping it can deceive the void it feels at the center of its own experience. The literal mind crawls around on a bed in the Universal Hospital. It dreams of extinction, while knowing it is already extinct. Do not hold out a helping hand to the literal mind. It will try to snap your finger off. That gesture is all it has left. In the end, the literal mind turns out to be the most fictional thing in the world.

3	Time to Clear out Washington, DCs IRS Giveaways to UndocumentedsBy Catherine J. Frompovich A whistleblower tax consultant in Indiana contacted WTHR-TV 13 Indianapolis and documented that $4 billion per year is the cost of illegal tax refund fraudulent giveaways. Theres huge fraud taking place. Thousands of fraudulent tax returns are filed and once the money goes out the door, theres very little chance of recouping it, if the IRS is so inclined. Could any U.S. citizen get away with filing phony documents with the IRS? Two million undocumented workers now are getting tax refunds because of a loophole being exploited by people who dont have Social Security numbers and claim as many as twenty dependent children! The IRS knows whats going on and has done nothing to stop it! Why? The IRS isnt some sort of benevolent charity, is it? Since when? The above is one more reason for voters to have documented papers to be able to cast a ballot in the USA. We need a drivers license to drive a car and all kinds of documentation to purchase or finance a home, car or open a credit card account. Want to cash a check at the bank; wheres your identification? But no paperwork to document a voter! That just doesnt make sense, especially in these times of terrorists, identity theft and the feds knowing everything about us via smart devices. Every tax payer and voter needs to ask each of the 2016 presidential wannabees a few questions about how he or she will fix this tax credit loophole for kids who live in Mexico. The Donald proposes building a wall, which has garnered cat calls of his being a racist. Will that wall be sufficient to stem the flow of taxpayers dollars across the Rio Grande? Lets get real about this documented problem. What will dyed-in-the-wool Socialist Bernie propose; how will foundation money-laundering Hillary deal with such deliberate fraud? Or, shouldnt we have the chutzpah and civic concerns to ask those types of imperative questions? Those are real issues, not mud-slinging, which has been ongoing during the candidates debates. This video explains more than taxpayers know how we are ripped off, especially with the consent of the USA Internal Revenue Service. Wheres Congress?

True. And every empire shall fall Theres huge fraud taking place. And the name of this fraud is TAXATION !!! WDC and the puppet prez are not our friends. I need a loaf of bread, but I cannot afford one. Whats this deal about calling the Indianapolis tax return preparer a whistle-blowing tax consultant? He is the one who prepared the tax returns that he showed the TV news reporter. If he had suspicions that children were fraudulently claimed as dependents for purposes of the Child Tax Credit then maybe he should consider the role that he played in the perpetuating that fraud. After all, he was the one who prepared the returns and pressed the Send button to electronically file them. Weve been getting screwed since the night before Xmas when congress was out and those rats that stayed passed and signed the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. The IRS is the private bagman for the private banks that a few traitors put into power! This would also include Wilson!! Why? because Obama wants it that way. Its wonderful to wave the big banners, copying others.. The IRS invented the loophole.why would they try to abolish it ? 
2	The Great State Of Texas REFUSES TO BACK DOWN Against Obama According to recent reports, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has just announced a new plan intended to strip state grant funding from law enforcement who fail to honor ICE detainers. The move comes after Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez announced her intentions to look over the cases of illegal immigrants individual to determine whether or not to enforce the law. I am establishing new standards for Sheriffs Departments that seek grants from the Governors Criminal Justice Division (CJD), Abbott announced in a statement. Beginning now, all CJD grant awards will require that Sheriffs Departments fully honor ICEs detention requests for criminal immigrants. Any applicant that cannot certify that their office will honor all ICE detainers for criminal immigrants will be ineligible for CJD funding. Further, any applicant that certifies full compliance with ICE detainer requestsbut subsequently fails to honor an ICE detainerwill be subject to claw-back provisions and must refund the full amount of their CJD grant award. It is vitally important that Sheriffs lead by example and enforce the rule of law, he added. What do you think? Do you support Abbott?

3	Next Phase of Syrian Invasion Begins -- The Central Bank ConnectionBrandon Turbeville Likewise, it is true that by controlling a nations currency, one essentially controls the nation. Governments who are beholden to third parties and private banks for their money are not governments at all they are receiverships existing solely at the pleasure of the controlling oligarchy. As Mayer Amschel Rothschild once stated, Give me control of a nations money supply and I care not who makes its laws. Thus, when one takes a look at the worldwide banking system and, in particular, the amount of countries with government-owned, non-Rothschild affiliated central banks, one easily sees a monopolistic system coming into view. In addition, when one takes a closer look at those countries with government-owned central banks, independent of Rothschild and major financier control, it becomes even clearer that maintaining a government-mandated structure of currency and central banking places a nation on a very dangerous list. Existing as one of the last nations on the face of the earth that has not allowed itself to become subservient to a privately-owned central bank, Syria now finds that national financial independence does not come without the price of presenting oneself as a preferred target for the banking cartels and the nations they control. The primary legislation establishing a central bank and control of the banking system was passed in 1953, but the Central Bank was not formed until 1956. Its functions included issuing notes, controlling the money supply, acting as fiscal agent for the government, and controlling credit and commercial banks. It was also to act as the countrys development bank until specialized banks were established for various sectors. The Central Bank had considerable discretionary powers over the banking system but was itself responsible to and under the control of the Council on Money and Credit, a policy group of high-ranking officials. Country Studies continues by stating that The general philosophy was that the banking system should be an agent of government economic policy. No doubt such a concept is a novel idea in 2013, perhaps even more so than it was in 1953. Progress toward this medium-term goal should start by having the central bank gain full control of existing direct instruments. The central bank should have the right to decide on credit ceilings and credit policies of banks with a view to ensuring a pace of credit and monetary expansion consistent with maintaining price stability while fostering economic activity and employment. Banks have to abide by all prudential regulations. Beyond this, the role and responsibilities of the central bank and the ministry of finance in exercising oversight on the banks should be clearly defined. While the government could play a lead role in choosing the board and the management of public banks, the CBS should have the authority to evaluate and approve banks policies, and procedures related to the credit and investment. Clearly, if these are the responsibilities the IMF believes the Syrian Central Bank should have, then it logically follows that they are responsibilities it does not have currently. Thus, the Central Bank is at least kept in check by the refusal to allow it unbridled control over monetary policy as a private independent institution. [1] Griffin, David Ray. The New Pearl Harbor.

1	Recalling the excitement of seeing that initial automatically generated email alerting them to a potential relationship match, local couple Paul and Kelly Silva reminisced to their children about the dating website algorithm that first brought them together, sources confirmed Wednesday. Your dad and I were both so carefree and idealistic back then, which a series of mathematical formulas immediately recognized based on specific keywords from our proprietary questionnaires, Kelly Silva said as she cozied up next to her husband, smiling at the memory of one particular Saturday afternoon when a remote server analyzed a fixed set of variables in their profiles, detected a high level of uniformity, and outputted the calculation that they were 89 percent compatible. As soon as I saw your dads smiling .jpeg thumbnail alongside the avatars of five other software-selected matches, I knew several lines of computer code had detected something really special between us. Despite their immediate algorithm-facilitated attraction, the pair confirmed that it took several weeks before either of them had the courage to send the other a heart-shaped emoticon.

I want to thank the Panthers for giving me the opportunity to play for them, but I would be denying myself the chance to reach my full potential if I stayed here, said Newton, adding that he will be using a lot of what he learned over the past six weeks as he gets his franchise started. Ive hit my peak with this organization. This is something I need to do. According to Newton, he has contacted wide receiver Steve Smith to play for him and head coach Ron Rivera to help design his new teams website. 
1	SAN FRANCISCOA virulent strain of soy flu has been traced to a single tofurkey at a Bay Area food-processing factory. 'An investigation of Green Earth Foods has located the bird-shaped loaf of firm bean curd from which the infection originated,' said Dr. Julie L.

3	People Just Wanna Be Slaves: New $200 Shock Bracelet Zaps Away Bad HabitsBy Melissa Dykes The aversion (shock) will program a person to avoid whatever bad habit they are being trained against, and the company claims it works in five days or less to delete temptation by associating a zap with a persons bad habit, training their brain to dislike said habit. No, they dont know what the long-term effects to wearing the Pavlok are, but the local news station below calls it 340 Volts of Wearable Willpower. Can you imagine what would happen if parents start putting these on their children? Would CPS step in? By the way, the TSA has already discussed putting taser bracelets on passengers, you know, because terrorism. Oh, and the Pavlok can be programmed to be triggered by sensors, apps, manually and via remote control. Apparently it hurts like a b*tch with shocks from 50 volts up to 450 (getting stung by a giant bee). 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! Self Control gone with the wind. You know, like Common Sense. It has been said that zero tolerance breeds zero intelligence, is this an offshoot of that? We now live in a world of zero tolerance of politically incorrect thoughts and deeds, and almost zero thinking. Too bad we cant ramp that sucker by 100X and put it on politicians. It gets triggered when they violate the Constitution. 
2	Juan Williams Gets Hit With Devastating Reality After Saying 100% False Statement About Hillary Juan Williams became a co-host on The Five after being booted from NPR. He has earned a reputation for being the most poorly informed commentator on Fox News. That was evidence once again when he attempted a last-minute prediction about the election that quickly blew up in his face. As we begin the contest, Clinton dominates the map, Williams said about Election Day. States that would be safe for any Democratic nominee give her just under 200 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win. Then there are four states very likely to add to her totalVirginia and the Midwestern trio of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, he added. If she can add Electoral College votes from Pennsylvania and New Hampshire20 from the former and four from the lattershe is on the brink of victory. Either Colorado or Nevada would carry her over the finish line. Then she said the dumbest thing hes said so far: Arizona is worth watching too because the Democrats see the state as their best hope for an election night shocker. Its no surprise that Juans ridiculous predictions turned out to be the polar opposite of what we saw on election night. Its clear hes been brainwashed by reporters in the mainstream media. What do you think? Should Juan be booted from Fox News? 
1	WASHINGTON, DCAccording to a report released Monday by the U.S. Department of Libel, comedian and TV star Drew Carey killed a guy back in the 1980s, then paid this other guy to keep it all hush-hush. Drew Carey 'I know it seems wild, but it really happened,' Libel Secretary Brent Roderick told reporters at a morning press conference. 'Back in, like, '85 or '86, while he was still living in Ohio, Drew Carey went apeshit one night and beat this guy to death with a golf club in the back room of some bar. For no reason at all. Then he realized that this other guy had seen it, so he paid the guy $500 not to rat him out to the cops. That's why no one knew for so long.' Roderick said the Libel Department received the information on June 20 from 'a friend of a friend of the guy Carey paid off.' He characterized the source as '100 percent reliable.' Marvin Strand, Carey's attorney, vehemently denied the allegations. 'In all my years practicing law, I have never encountered a more blatant case of libel and slander,' Strand said. 'This is a malicious, wholly unfounded smear campaign whose sole purpose is to destroy the reputation of my client. And to think a taxpayer-funded arm of the federal government is behind it. We are definitely taking legal action.' Despite Strand's plans to file a $160 million defamation lawsuit and the absence of any hard evidence supporting the allegations, the Libel Department is sticking to its claims. 'Long story short, in the '80s, Carey's career was going nowhere. No comedy club wanted to touch him because his delivery sucked and his material was shit. And it certainly didn't help that he was so fat and unattractivehe had those dumb glasses even then,' Roderick said. 'Plus, he was really unhappy because he'd been kicked out of the American Nazi Party, and his relationship with [mass murderer] Richard Speck was on the rocks, and his ongoing horse-tranquilizer addiction had placed him in a pretty bizarre state of mind, to say the least. So, when you consider all of that, it's not too surprising that he snapped and lashed out violently the way he did.' Added Roderick: 'They never did find the guy's arms.' If Strand follows through on his threat of legal action, it will not be the first time the Libel Department has been sued. Since its creation in 1916, the department has defended itself in court more than 4,600 times for its groundless accusations against various high-profile individuals. The department has lost every case, costing U.S. taxpayers an estimated $985 billion in damages. Among the Libel Department's more infamous accusations: In 1923, it asserted that swashbuckling movie idol Douglas Fairbanks raped Archduke Franz Ferdinand with a Coke bottle, touching off WWI; in 1932, it alleged that the murdered infant son of famed aviator Charles Lindbergh had actually committed suicide; and in 1953, it divulged that Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton was raised by a pack of mandrills. Earlier this year, a New York district court judge ordered the department to pay talk-show host Rosie O'Donnell $24 million for falsely claiming that in 1998 she embarked on a Central Park rampage in which she fatally stabbed a developmentally disabled 6-year-old and a swan. His department's losing streak notwithstanding, Roderick said he is looking forward to his day in court. 'From its founding to the present day, the Libel Department has never wavered in its commitment to its mission, and in terms of efficiency, we top all other government agencies,' Roderick said. 'We've done a good job and, although we have our naysayers on Capitol Hill and in Hollywood, we intend to continue our important work into the next decade and beyond.' 'Plus,' Roderick continued, 'I've got some unbelievable info on Julia Roberts. You'll shit your pants when you read this. She won't seem like America's sweetheart when you hear what she did to land her role in Mystic Pizza, believe you me.'

'This is a guy who, one year ago, didn't know molding from a ceiling fan,' said Colin Pasternak, Ziglar's friend. 'Now, suddenly, he's lecturing me on the pros and cons of cavetto versus beak molding. I wish he'd shut up about wall niches and go back to Stargate.' Ziglar was unavailable for comment, as he was at a local hardware store pricing decorative wainscotting. 
2	Barack And Michelle Just Got Served Some SERIOUS Justice President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle have been taking full advantage of hard working Americans taxpayer funding to support their life of luxury. Over the last six years the bill that the two of them have racked up on vacations alone is outlandish. After the scheme following former President Bill Clintons family foundation blew open concerning tax payer dollars flowing into the hands of the Clintons, Obama would be continuing down the same path, but luckily the government has cracked down on the spending of former presidents. A new law is trying to be passed by the House Oversight committee puts a cap on the limit to which taxpayer funds are given to former presidents. The bill would limit former presidents to $200,000 annually in federal benefits, and pay $200,000 as an annual allowance, limiting former presidents to no more than $400,000 total in taxpayer dollars. Do you think this amount is too much? Should Obama be allowed any taxpayer benefits?

3	Internet Sales Tax Quietly Moving Through CongressEric Blair The Marketplace and Internet Tax Fairness Act would force customers to pay sales taxes for online purchases from out-of-state online merchants, and it forces online retailers to collect and remit separately sales taxes to all US territories. Washington Post says Currently, officials can only levy sales taxes on retailers who have a physical presence, be it a store or warehouse, in their states. Because of that, big box stores complain that Internet retailers have an unfair advantage. Congruently, local officials seem to be salivating at the potential for more revenue. In March 2013, the Senate voted overwhelmingly 75-to-24 in favor of a largely symbolic version of this bill to gauge the support for the concept of Internet sales taxes. An identical bill was introduced in the House of Representatives last year only to expire in session without a vote. Earlier this month, the House passed the Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act which bans states from taxing Internet access. Being a fairly popular bill with the public, the Senate wants to hitch this sales tax bill to it in hopes of easier passage. Critics say a tax will hurt the free decentralized Internet, customers will have to pay more, and most of all it will hurt small online businesses who cant afford to comply with such complex accounting, which is no problem for big guys like Amazon. This is one way the big corporations in all industries use legislation to crowd out competition. Its a new barrier to entry for start-ups and a new thorn for existing businesses. Proponents say the bill only applies to Internet retailers who gross over $1 million, which seems like a lot. However, former Congressman Ron Paul pointed outmany small Internet businesses with over a million dollars in out-of-state revenues operate on extremely thin profit margins, so even the slightest increase in expenses could put them out of businesses. And Paul is backed up by the Illinois Supreme Court that ruled the Internet sales tax was unconstitutional: This bill couldnt be a better example of greedy politicians walking in lockstep with big business.It threatens the level playing field the Internet currently offers. Its time to make some noise. Recently byEric Blair 
1	Joyously celebrating after his hometown team defeated the Kansas City Royals to clinch the championship, local 2-year-old Daniel Balane admitted to reporters Wednesday night that he never thought he would actually see the San Francisco Giants win a World Series in his lifetime. Ive waited my whole life for the Giants to win the World Series, and its just so surreal to actually see it finally happen, said the 2-year-old toddler, adding that as far back as he can remember, the Giants have only been a mediocre National League team that couldnt even make the playoffs. Deep down, I always held out some hope that it could eventually happen, but after waiting for so long, you start to think theyll just never get over the hump. So, when they finally won tonight, all that pent-up emotion just came pouring out. I still dont think its fully sunk in yet. I mean, we did itwere world champs! Balane went on to say that the Giants playoff run was the most exciting hes witnessed since watching the San Francisco 49ers make it to the NFC Championship Game all the way back in 2013. 
1	The member-owned-and-operated casino known as the Sunshine & Sharing Gaming Cooperative was robbed Tuesday for the fourth time this month, with more than $250,000 reportedly being stolen from the democratically run gambling house's main vault. Although police are currently going down the list of the casino's members, all of whom have access to the safe for one weekend each month, in hopes of catching a break in the case, it is still unknown who was on cash-pile-guarding duty at the time of the robbery. 'They even took the wicker basket we keep the money in,' said a casino member and 1/360th-part owner known as 'Stuef.' 'This is not my fault, okay, guys? I switched guard shifts with Petula two weeks ago. I even drew arrows on the sign-up calendar and everything.' Thus far, no firings have been made or even suggested, but the casino's members have agreed to beef up oversight measures by replacing the position of casino pit boss with a 15-person pit coordinating committee. 
3	The Hidden World Found in SymbolsBy Eric Draven Symbols are a part of our daily lives but for most people they often go unseen. During our lives, at some point or another, every human being experiences an a-ha moment. That millisecond of conscious thought, in time and space, when someone realizes that the world is nothing like they thought it was. From that moment on, they start seeing the world in a whole new way. It is almost as if the proverbial rose-colored glasses simply fell to the ground and got stepped on, breaking the chains that bound this person to a certain set of beliefs which dictated how they saw the world. If you spend some time in the big city watching the hundreds of people mindlessly strolling along, you will realize that the majority of individuals tend to look downward towards the ground. This obviously has implications on how they see and interact with the world. However, every once in a while, some break free and have looked up to the moon, the stars and a bigger reality around them and nothing can be the same again. Even the most seemingly innocent symbols have meaning hidden in them. Those in branding and marketing, the mad men of Madison Avenue, as well as those in power have an astute understanding of symbolism while most of the population is still looking downward muddling through life. Most choose not to, or have not opened their eyes to the knowledge or understanding of whats around them and how the manipulations by the few control the many. Symbols are one of the vehicles in which hidden messages and archetypes have a way of subtly influencing society. The word occult has a negative connotation in most peoples perception of it, however it literally can be defined as hidden. Many occult messages are found in symbols discovered all throughout history whether its the famous illuminati symbol of the all seeing eye, old Egyptian symbols, as well as many religious symbols which can be found throughout architecture all over Europe in the Western world. Many times there are hidden meanings in symbols, which are only known by a few, while the masses are taught an entirely different re-presentation of a certain symbol. What is the true meaning of the capstone of a pyramid? Does the cross have multiple meanings? Why are secret societies into the occult? Are there hidden powers in symbols? In the early part of this 21st century books such as Dan Browns The Da Vinci Code introduced symbols to the mainstream population, and a whole new generation of people started researching secret societies, special human bloodlines, secret agendas and other topics found within the book. The above questions can be understood through the work of Jordan Maxwell a long time scholar of the occult and the esoteric. Since 1959 Jordan has done extensive lectures on this topic as well as appearing on over 600 radio shows. Below is a must watch lecture on the hidden meaning of symbols for those who want to be able to go beyond and further than what was started for many with Dan Browns book. As Jordan humbly states I am simply an ordinary man pursuing extraordinary knowledge. This lecture is filled with over two hours of information in symbols and it is a good starting point on your pursuit of extraordinary hidden knowledge.

2	Obama Devastated After Federal Court Takes THIS Massive Stand Against Him It appears that Obamas streak of breaking the law without consequences may finally be coming to close. According to reports, another federal lawsuit was filed on Tuesday in appeals court against his healthcare program. The case centers on Obamacares unfair birth control mandate. The case is being brought by two Texas Baptist colleges that claim that they should be exempt from a rule that requires employers with more than 50 employees to provide workers with insurance including birth control measures. Of course, the Obama administration is turning the other way, claiming that if they have a problem with the regulation they can transfer the ability to pay for birth control to a third party insurer. The government is using East Texas Baptist and Houston Baptists health plans to deliver drugs and devices they object to, Diana Verm, the counsel for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty said in a statement. Thats a violation of their religious liberty and the law. What do you think? Do you support this lawsuit? Do you agree that religious institutions should be exempt for the measure? 
1	WORCESTER, MAParents and child advocates across the nation are voicing concerns about the dramatic increase in 'hanging out' among American adolescents. Worcester residents engage in the alarming new teen activity. 'It's a common refrain among today's teens,' said Mark DuFresne, executive director of Good Clean Fun LLC, a Worcester-based watchdog organization that monitors teen leisure activities. 'If you ask them what they've been doing on any given day, invariably the response will be 'hanging out.' While it may seem harmless, even cool, the sad truth is that hanging out distracts our children from more important goals, such as buckling down or shaping up.' DuFresne said data compiled by his organization shows that 'hanging,' as it is known among the most dedicated out-hangers, is a gateway activity that often leads to other, more intense activities, such as 'goofing off,' 'kicking back,' or even 'screwing around.' 'Today, it's hanging out,' DuFresne said. 'Tomorrow, it could be messing around, or even hooking up. That's the problem: You never know where it's going to go.' One characteristic of hanging out that particularly alarms parents is that it can take place anywhere, even in such otherwise benign locations as convenience-store parking lots, pizza parlors, or right under parents' own roofs. While teens' public out-hanging often causes mild consternation among adult onlookers, the most intense form of the popular recreational activity occurs in subterranean locales. It is in these covert locations, called 'hangouts,' that hang-related deeds most often transpire. 'When we remodeled the basement, it was just to install a new washer and dryer and create a place for our old sleeper sofa and TV,' said Arlene Verbitski, a Worcester-area mother of two teenage sons. 'You know, like a room for rumpus-oriented play. I never intended it for use as a den of hanging out. I don't know what they're doing down there. Are they flipping out? Getting down? For all I know, they could be getting over, stylin' along, or jamming away. I'm scared.' According to DuFresne, 'cool' youths have harnessed today's powerful communications technology, enabling them to schedule hanging meetings from virtually any location. Teens are now able to arrange a 'hang time' with their accomplices via mobile telephones, pagers, or even computerized written correspondence. Hanging out, with-hanging and hang-sliding need not even involve actual face-to-face contact, with the advent of message-boarding and chatting-rooms. 'There's no doubt about it: Teens are hanging out,' said San Pedro, CA, father of three Eugenio Mendez, pointing to the door of his basement. 'I don't like what I'm hearing down there. Sure, when I was a kid, we would hang around, but that was totally different. At least we were 'around.' We were never 'out.'' 'Before too long, they're going to be grooving up,' Mendez added. Many adults have raised the concern that, as hanging out gains popularity among teens, it will be taken up by impressionable pre-teens. 'My daughter is only 12, and she and her friends are already 'hanging the o,' as she refers to it,' Denver homemaker Mindy Carver said. 'But for all I know, she's looping over and freaking about. She sees older kids doing it, and that's what she's going to do.' While there have been no reported incidents of hanging-out-related fatalities, DuFresne advised against complacency, accusing indifferent parents of 'not seeing the bigger picture.' 'How much longer will teens be content with just hanging out?' DuFresne said. 'The rate at which they mature today, they are at a severe risk for rolling down, rocking high, shaking off, or tripping and slipping over and underneath. Maybe even leaking through.' Added DuFresne: 'The sooner we nip this in the bud, the sooner our youth can straighten tight and bust forward.' 
3	Mass Incarceration: 21 Amazing Facts About Americas Obsession With PrisonMichael Snyder But has all of this imprisonment actually made us safer? Well, the last time I checked, crime was still wildly out of control in America and for the most recent year that we have numbers for violent crime was up 15 percent. The number of people that we have locked up has quadrupled since 1980, but this is not solving any of our problems. Clearly, what we are doing is not working. Nobody wants more crime. And it seems logical that locking more people up and keeping them in prison for longer terms would clean up our streets and make our communities safer. But instead, we have spawned a prison industrial complex that costs taxpayers more than 60 billion dollars a year but that does very little to turn the lives of the men and women inside around. The chart posted below is a bit old, but it shows that we have a massive problem with recidivism in this country To keep people from committing the same crimes should we just lock them up even longer? Should we penalize a young kid for the rest of his life for a non-violent mistake that he made when he was 19 years old? Or could it be possible that there is a better way to deal with all of this crime? The following are 21 amazing facts about Americas obsession with prison #1 There are more than 2.4 million people behind bars in America as you read this article. #2 Since 1980, the number of people incarcerated in U.S. prisons has quadrupled. #3 The incarceration rate in the United States is more than 4 times higher than the incarceration rate in the UK and more than 6 times higher than the incarceration rate in Canada. #4 Approximately 12 million people cycle through local jails in the U.S. each and every year. #5 Overall, the United States has the largest prison population and the highest incarceration rate in the entire world. #6 Approximately one out of every four prisoners on the entire planet are in U.S. prisons, but the United States only accounts for about five percent of the total global population. #7 The state of Maryland (total population 5.9 million) has more people in prison than Iraq (total population 31.9 million). #8 The state of Ohio (total population 11.6 million) has more people in prison than Pakistan (total population 192.1 million). #9 Incredibly, 41 percent of all young people in America have been arrested by the time they turn 23. #10 Between 1990 and 2009 the number of Americans in private prisons increased by about1600 percent. #11 At this point, private prison companies operate more than 50 percent of all youth correctional facilities in this nation. #12 There are more African-Americans under correctional supervision right now than were in slavery in the United States in 1850. #13 Approximately 90 percent of those being held in prisons in the United States are men. #14 The incarceration rate for African-American men is more than 6 times higher than it is for white men. #15 An astounding 37.2 percent of African-American men from age 20 to age 34 with less than a high school education were incarcerated in 2008. #16 Police in New York City conducted nearly 700,000 stop-and-frisk searches in 2011 alone. #17 The SWATification of America has gotten completely and totally out of control. Back in 1980, there were only about 3,000 SWAT raids in the United States for the entire year. Today, there are more than 80,000 SWAT raids in the United States every single year. #18 Illegal immigrants make up approximately 30 percent of the total population in our federal, state and local prisons. #19 The average minimum security inmate in federal prison costs U.S. taxpayers $21,000 a year. #20 The average maximum security inmate in federal prison costs U.S. taxpayers $33,000 a year. #21 Overall, it costs more than 60 billion dollars a year to keep all of these people locked up. And it certainly does not help that we treat ex-cons as pariahs once they leave prison. Most people will not hire them, and in many cases public assistance is not available to them. Often their wives and families have abandoned them, and they have no roots in their communities after being away for so long. Without any options, it is really easy for many of them to fall back into crime. And that is the last thing that we should want to see happen. It is almost as if we give up on someone once that person is convicted of a felony. We want criminals locked up for as long as possible, and then once they get out we make it extremely difficult for them to reintegrate into society. Without a doubt, there are a lot of really bad people locked up in our prisons. And criminals should be punished for their crimes. But there are also a whole lot of people that made one stupid mistake when they were young, and there are also a whole lot of people that do not deserve to be there at all. Perhaps instead of totally rejecting our prison population, we should have a little bit more love and compassion for them. Perhaps instead of treating them as worthless pariahs, we should be doing more to change their hearts and to help them eventually reintegrate into society. In the end, the truth is that none of us is perfect. We all need grace and we all need forgiveness. Perhaps we should remember that. This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

2	Obama Sends Millions Of Jobs Overseas While the spotlight has been on GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, Barack Obama has ceased the opportunity to rob Americans of 450,000 jobs. According to reports, Obama has just signed a trade deal that is set to send one million jobs overseas. It will also bring another five hundred thousand part time jobs at minimum wage. The Trans Pacific Partnership has been described as one of the largest multinational trade deals ever to take effect. It was just signed by ministers from 12 member nations in New Zealand, which make up 40% of the worlds economy. Now, the world leaders have been given two years to either ratify or reject the deal. A trade deal is a contract, and it must be one that puts American workers interests first, not the interests of global elites, Senator Sessions of Alabama commented on the issue. It is little surprise the administration is not showcasing todays signing given its unpopularity with the American people. What do you think of the new deal?

3	Depopulation, Where is Thy Sting?Op-Ed by Joan Dark Driving through the North American land mass, one might have the impression that the planet is sparsely not over populated. In Southern Mexico, great expanses of green, arable land are only sporadically dotted with small communities. Large cities, such as Mexico City and Tuxtla, are the rarity rather than the rule. Equally, the Canadian wilderness overwhelms its pockets of concentrated human habitation. It is only upon entering the US and the gateway border of Tijuana/San Diego well exemplifies this that one is confronted with the existence of the endless city. Indeed, from San Ysidro north to Santa Barbara, the contiguous municipalities meld into each other, over 200 miles of a virtually solid mass of city blocks. However, whether your perspective is rooted in a mountain village or in a busy metropolitan center, the staggering impact of the proliferation of humans on the planet is undeniable. Speaking to a capacity crowd at Cideci in San Cristobal de las Casas recently, Brazilian writer and Liberation Theologian Leonardo Boff delineated four threats to the continued viability of human life on the planet. The Catholic priest turned eco-pundit may have invoked both mystic and New Age formulations in his presentation, but his fundamental message was informed by scientific and political concerns. According to Boff, the four threats which imperil the continuation of human life on Earth follow: In the perception of many climate change scientists, the unifying underlying threat, manifesting as Boffs four horsemen, would be overpopulation. According to Dr. Dady Chery, we are breeding ourselves to extinction. Our present rate of carbon consumption, she writes, will translate into a 3.6 degree Celsius global warming by 2100a catastrophic scenario, she asserts. The global response to this perceived threat has been most peculiar, however. Only China has attempted to seriously enact a population control policy. Thirty-five years of its one-child program are considered to have averted a population growth of over 400 million. After some questionable convenings on the matter, the West appears to have flung itself headlong into scientific, legalistic and military ways to kill people without their knowing they are slated for annihilation. These are strong allegations, but not without support. Boffs stated concern about deployment of chemical and biological weapons is substantiated by a review of the current state of the science. According to Colonel Michael Ainscough, MD, MPH: The revolution in molecular biology and biotechnology can be considered as a potential Revolution of Military Affairs. Tellingly, the evidence of such deployment appears most saliently in the Third World AIDS and Ebola in Africa, diabetes and hypertension in darker skinned populations and Zika now in S. America. As it appears, Boffs second threat is being deployed to ensure a future for well-off white people. Leonardo Boffs presentation at Cideci contained a strong plea for unity. When the DNA code was cracked, said Boff, we learned that we were all brothers and sisters. The same genetic building blocks make up all living things trees, horses, humans revealing that we are all interconnected, he asserted. However, the research to further create genetic weapons, capable of eliminating those bearing a particular genetic signature, has become a near obsession of black military projects. Rather than honoring the essential similarity of all living things, these projects are now engaged in finding the tiny variations in order to weaponize our very genetic inheritance. A recent article in the Dartmouth Undergraduate Journal of Science lists a number of ways in which the knowledge gained through cracking the genetic code can be used to create weapons, including manipulating genes to create new pathogenic characteristics aimed at enhancing the efficacy of a bacteriological weapon. Quoting Colonel Michael Ainscough, the article states that There are those who say: the First World War was chemical; the Second World War was nuclear; and that the Third World War God forbid will be biological. Leonardo Boff was ordained a Catholic priest in 1964. His criticisms of secular power and the US foreign policy, coupled with his focus on the needs of poor and oppressed populations, led him to become known as one of the strongest supporters of Liberation Theology. In 1985, he was silenced by the Vaticans Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, led at that time by Cardinal Ratzinger, due to the publication of Boffs book entitled Church, Charism and Power. In order to prevent his participation in the Eco 92 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, the Church again attempted to impose the dictum of silence on Boff. He subsequently left the priesthood and has published over sixty books. In 2001 he was awarded the alternative Nobel Prize, the Right Livelihood Award. He currently resides in Rio de Janeiro.

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. Albert Einstein When Einstein witnessed the first atomic bomb blast at White Sands, New Mexico, he said, Dear God, what have we wrought?, according to Robert Oppenheimer, who was standing next to him. Better late than oh never mind. What do you think will wipe us out first? Brilliance arrogance or just plain old narcissism. Probably a combo deal. A couple of quotes to support you metabunk: Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against The nation state as a fundamental unit of mans organized life has Leonardo Boff doesnt have an interest in geoengineering and hes on the global warming bandwagon? Elite eugenics is insanity but left limited hangouts and Malthusian fear mongering dont get us anywhere either. Reminds me of HuffPo. As it appears, Boffs second threat is being deployed to ensure a future for well-off white people. Note to Boff and Joan Dark: Were all being poisoned chemtrails, mandatory vaccines, food, water Move to the wide open spaces of Colorado. Plenty of room and plenty of water. it seems that technology would prevent any of those to completely wipe out humanity. The problem now is how we are going to use technology in new societies, there seems to be two main paths either a techno tirany or almost total freedom. 
1	In an effort to reduce motor vehicle injuries and fatalities stemming from drunk driving, officials at the Department of Transportation announced Wednesday the opening of new highway lanes lined with padded bumpers, which have been installed on interstates nationwide for use by intoxicated drivers. Its really quite simpleif youre already behind the wheel and you feel like youve had too much to drink, simply veer into the special lane at the first entry point and careen safely from bumper to bumper until you reach your exit, said department secretary Anthony Foxx, noting that the bumpers were specially constructed to cushion the impact of a swerving vehicle and gently push it back toward the center of the lane. You can also use your car to lightly nudge other intoxicated motorists out of your way and into the padded barriers, or even doze off for a little bit while you drive if you need to. Foxx said the Transportation Department hopes the new initiative achieves the same level of success as its interstate conveyor-belt lanes, which help prevent backups by accelerating stoned drivers to the normal speed of traffic. 
1	Soon after the 28-year-old leapt off the lid of a dumpster and sprained his ankle Tuesday night, friends of area man Jesse Willard unjustly placed the blame for his questionable behavior on alcohol, sources confirmed. Man, that guy turns into such a moron when he gets a few beers in him, said Sean Taggart, 29, unfairly accusing the chemical ethanol of being responsible for Willard's lack of foresight and poor decision-making, traits that are in fact fundamental features of his personality and are equally present when he's completely sober. Jesse has a bit of an impulsive and destructive side that comes out as soon as he starts drinking. Every night out at the bar [or anywhere else] with him always ends like this. Sources stated that friends have also falsely ascribed Willards sudden outbursts of rage, his boorish forwardness with women, and penchant for uttering racial epithets to alcohol, when in actuality hes just an all-around ass. 
2	White House Admin Turns On Obama They Want To Bring Him Down, Reveal Michael R. Wear spent years working as a White House staffer before serving as President Barack Obamas faith outreach coordinator in the 2012 election. Now, hes just come forward to share his experience of Obamas approach to the Christian religion in his book, Reclaiming Hope: Lessons Learned in the Obama White House About the Future of Faith in America. Wear told a reporter at the Atlantic about what happened after he drew up a faith-outreach fact sheet describing the presidents views on poverty. The piece was called, Economic Fairness and the Least of These. Of course, Wear was referring to a line in the Bible in which Jesus commands his disciples to care for the least of these, or the poor and marginalized. The reference clearly went over the heads of the Obama administration. Another staffer repeatedly deleted the least of these, commenting, Is this a typo? It doesnt make any sense to me. Who/what are these? The Atlantic explained. Wear also commented that the Obama administration was unnecessarily antagonistic toward religious conservatives, especially when it came to abortion funding and contraception requirements. This attitude has now spread throughout the entire Democratic Partymaking no effort to connect to religious voters in the latest election. Reaching out to evangelicals doesnt mean you have to become pro-life, he argued. It just means you have too not be so in love with how pro-choice you are, and so opposed to how pro-life we are. Clearly, ignoring such an important part of the population did not end well. 81 percent of Evangelicals and a majority of Catholics ended up voting for Donald Trump.

3	US Military Uses IMF and World Bank to Launder 85% of Its Black BudgetBy Jake Anderson What is the black budget? Officially, it is the militarys appropriations for spy satellites, stealth bombers, next-missile-spotting radars, next-gen drones, and ultra-powerful eavesdropping gear. However, of greater interest to some may be the clandestine nature and full scope of the black budget, which, according to analyst Catherine Austin Fitts, goes far beyond classified appropriations. Based on her research, some of which can be found in her piece Whats Up With the Black Budget? Fitts concludes that the during the last decade, global financial elites have configured an elaborate system that makes most of the military budget unauditable. This is because the real black budget includes money acquired by intelligence groups via narcotics trafficking, predatory lending, and various kinds of other financial fraud. The result of this vast, geopolitically-sanctioned money laundering scheme is that Housing and Urban Development and other agencies are used for drug trafficking and securities fraud. According to Fitts, the scheme allows for at least 85 percent of the U.S. federal budget to remain unaudited. Fitts has been researching this issue since 2001, when she began to believe that a financial coup detat was underway. Specifically, she suspected that the banks, corporations, and investors acting in each global region were part of a global heist, whereby capital was being sucked out of each country. She was right. As Fitts asserts, [She] served as Assistant Secretary of Housing at the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in the United States where I oversaw billions of government investment in US communities..I later found out that the government contractor leading the War on Drugs strategy for U.S. aid to Peru, Colombia and Bolivia was the same contractor in charge of knowledge management for HUD enforcement. This Washington-Wall Street game was a global game. The peasant women of Latin America were up against the same financial pirates and business model as the people in South Central Los Angeles, West Philadelphia, Baltimore and the South Bronx. This is part of an even larger financial scheme. It is fairly well-established by now that international financial institutions like the World Trade Organization, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund operate primarily as instruments of corporate power and nation-controlling infrastructure investment mechanisms. For example, the primary purpose of the World Bank is to bully developing countries into borrowing money for infrastructure investments that will fleece trillions of dollars while permanently indebting these debtor nations to West. But how exactly does the World Bank go about doing this? John Perkins wrote about this paradigm in his book, Confessions of an Economic Hitman. During the 1970s, Perkins worked for the international engineering consulting firm, Chas T. Main, as an economic hitman. He says the operations of the World Bank are nothing less than pure economic colonization on behalf of powerful corporations and banks that use the United States government as their tool. In his book, Perkins discusses Joseph Stiglitz, the Chief Economist for the World Bank from 1997-2000, at length. Stiglitz described the four-step plan for bamboozling developing countries into becoming debtor nations: Step One, according to Stiglitz, is to convince a nation to privatize its state industries. Step Two utilizes capital market liberalization, which refers to the sudden influx of speculative investment money that depletes national reserves and property values while triggering a large interest bump by the IMF. Step Three, Stiglitz says, is Market-Based Pricing, which means raising the prices on food, water and cooking gas. This leads to Step Three and a Half: The IMF Riot. Examples of this can be seen in Indonesia, Bolivia, Ecuador and many other countries where the IMFs actions have caused financial turmoil and social strife. Step 4, of course, is free trade, where all barriers to the exploitation of local produce are eliminated. There is a connection between the U.S. black budget and the trillion dollar international investment fraud scheme. Our government and the banking cartels and corporatocracy running it have configured a complex screen to block our ability to audit their budget and the funds they use for various black op projects. However, they can not block our ability to uncover their actions and raise awareness. Jake Anderson writes for theAntiMedia.org. Anti-Media Radio airs weeknights at 11pm Eastern/8pm Pacific.

Not surprising, every if not all international institutions are either formed to service TPTB or co-opted by them. Which is why the US in its current state will never leave the UN, end the Fed, etc. So-called U.S. Government is a private corporation. I read Perkins book a few years back. I encourage people to check out some of his interviews posted on YouTube. Very informative for those that still believe what mainstream media and government tell us. Look at Greece the IMF (loan sharks) simply called in their loan, now, Greece will be handing over some very pricey assets at the cost of all its citizens. Bingo dd . tc I do hope John Perkins is doing wellOne of the pioneers of the truth movement. Dont forget appropriations for geoengineered climate change, tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes as well as for the benefit of crooked politicians and banksters. Illegal drug sales as well. Along with its black pope and his Jesuit army (Lincoln assassination). Yes this is very true. The Jesuits were the secret army of the Vatican and their Skull and Bones patriarchs led the sucessionist movements that led to the Civil War in the U.S. They were also responsible for many assassinations in this country including, Lincoln and JFK (using their CIA). They also played a large role in the 9/11 attacks which has largely yet to be discovered by 9/11 truthers. Yup, Israeli Mossad helped destroy the WTC! Jake Troll, IMF and World Bank owns NATO and US military.. and Rothschild owns them all. Rothschilds are J E W S !!!! Fake Jews It was the Pope who was given the order by Rothschild.. The Queen of England also answers to Rothschild. Rothschild is the eye on top of the pyramid that sees all. I am afraid you are mistaken. If you read the Secret History of the New World Order you will see the logical historical developement of political power wielded using religion and how the Catholic Church became the most powerfull institution on the planet. Wake up! Wake up to what? Youve probably researched within the elite banksters universities and libraries which are all la la land stories.. since youre so far gone I cant help you. Watch the doc Engines of domination just another tool in the system of the state . enjoy . WE SEE THEM . And whom controls The Fed? Zionist J E W S !!!! And what was Mayer? An Ashkenazi J E W !!!! The math is simple if you want a world class military then you have to have a black budget 
1	Following the first public appearance of the actress formerly known as Mark Wahlberg at a Hollywood fundraiser last night, the American people acknowledged the Departed and Fighter stars sex-reassignment surgery was something they had not seen coming. Huh, said Illinois schoolteacher Thomas Granger, 37, reading about the star making her red-carpet debut as Martha Wahlberg. I guess Mark Wahlbergs a woman now. He always seemed like more of a masculine guy. But good for him. I mean, her. Its just that, you know, the last time I saw him on TV, he was doing some promo work for that Ted movie, and he didnt mention anything about this. Sources throughout the nation agreed that Wahlberg, despite the gender-change procedure, is still a looker. 
2	SICK: Thugs Laugh During Their Mugshot After Killing World War II Vet According to reports, an 88-year-old World War II veteran named Delbert Belton was brutally murdered by two teenagers who attacked him in Spokane, Washington. During his time in the military, Belton served in the Battle of Okinawa and earned the nickname Shorty. Two teenagers, ages 16 and 19, hit Belton over the head, causing serious injuries. Witnesses reported that the two attackers were African-American males. Authorities believe Belton was on his way out of the Eagle Lodge to play pool when he was jumped. Police were called to the scene of the crime, where they found Belton sitting in his car. The media has not given this tragedy the coverage it deserves. President Obama did not release any statements on the issue. Because this story does not fit the liberal narrative, it is being largely ignored. If you expect the leader of any country to comment on every tragedy, youll always be disappointment, a man named Eric Strand commented. Is this yet another attack we are supposed to ignore? Bonnie Reynolds asked. What do you think of these reports? 
1	Saying the shipments were just sitting there all ready to go, a desperate President Obama stated Monday that as soon as someone lets him know who to give arms to in order to defeat ISIS, he will immediately begin doing so. The U.S. stands ready to address the threat of violent extremism, so if I could just get the name of a person or a group that I can supply with weapons to stop ISIS, I promise Ill get a whole big shipment to them ASAPall I need is a name, said a visibly exasperated Obama, explaining that he had tons of guns he could send and vowing that he would keep them right on coming for as long as needed until the situation was resolved. Automatic rifles, RPGs, mortarsweve got all of that. So if someone could please tell me the name of a city to drop them off in, or even a region will work, or, you know, just point to somewhere on a map, I swear I can get all those things there in a few hours. Seriously, just let me know. The president added that if he didnt get an answer soon, he would simply go ahead and airdrop a crate of M16s and ammunition every half mile or so across the greater Middle East and just hope for the best.

1	Saying that everyone, including all 65 million of its subscribers, really ought to see the film at least once, Netflix announced Tuesday that it will suspend all streaming content except Hard Eight for a full month. Officials from the online video subscription service, which boasts a library of tens of thousands of movies and TV shows in addition to the first feature film by acclaimed writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson, told reporters they will temporarily remove all other titles from the website and devote 100 percent of their server capacity to the 1996 neo-noir drama. We want to make sure every one of our members watches this thrilling character study of a veteran gambler and his young protg, so for the entire month of October, Hard Eight will be the only video available on the entire site, said chief content officer Ted Sarandos, who, upon discovering only a fraction of subscribers had ever seen the understated masterpiece starring Philip Baker Hall and John C. Reilly, immediately called a meeting of the Netflix board of directors and urged them to approve such a plan. Its an incredible, one-of-a-kind film, and a directorial debut no less. Not surprisingly, all four of its main actors went on to have huge careers. We cant in good conscience stream any other piece of entertainment until all subscribers have viewed it. Honestly, its worth seeing for Philip Seymour Hoffmans career-launching cameo alone, Sarandos added. Company representatives explained that, for the next 30 days, visitors to the Netflix website will be greeted by a large static image of the movies poster, below which will appear dozens of identical Hard Eight icons that can be scrolled through and clicked upon in order to view the film. According to sources, every slot in every customers queue will be replaced with Hard Eight, and subscribers will periodically receive recommendation emails in which only Hard Eight will be suggested. The provisional changes will also extend to the companys DVD mail-order service, officials stated, with Netflix having already substituted every currently requested movie with one of several million recently purchased copies of Hard Eight. Netflix representatives emphasized that the movie will remain customers only option for the entire month, regardless of whether they choose to watch it on day one or if they have previously seen Hard Eight months or years before, with officials noting that the complex, multilayered film is worth watching several times. Were pleased to announce that, throughout October, our subscribers will be able to watch Hard Eight as much as they likeanytime, on any device, anywhere, said Netflix co-founder and CEO Reed Hastings, who added that hes seen the opening sequence in which Sydney shows John the ropes of casino gambling probably a hundred times and he always finds something new in it to admire. Best of all, once youve gotten to the end and the credits start rolling, Netflix will suggest you watch it again, and Hard Eight will automatically replay after 15 seconds. I dont want to give anything away, but the great scene where John and Clementine get themselves into that hostage mess, and then Sydney swoops in and just cleans everything upthat scene on its own requires at least two or three viewings to appreciate fully, he continued. Hastings went on to state that once the month is over, the film will be removed and replaced exclusively with Rounders, which may not be quite as impressive as Hard Eight, but is still a film you should really check out. 
1	Explaining that his afternoons and evenings were still pretty much wide open, local man Eric Lang told reporters Friday that he had figured drug addiction would take up a lot more of his free time. When I first started using heroin, I thought it would consume my every waking moment, but it hasnt really filled that much of my downtime, said Lang, adding that his overwhelming compulsion to obtain and take the opiate only accounts for a few hours each day. I shot up around nine this morning, felt that warm rush, experienced the otherworldly bliss of all my problems, fears, and pain melting away, and then nodded off for a couple of hours. When I came to, I was surprised that I basically still had the whole day ahead of me. Reports indicate that after 30 minutes of wandering around the house looking for something to do, a bored Lang gave up and took out his heroin to inject another shot. 
3	Some Want Injustice To Be Distributed Evenly, Rather Than Not At AllBy Vin Armani Yet some people screamed that it was an injustice for the white Bundys to go free, as if theyd prefer them be locked up indefinitely for exercising their 1st amendment rights. #crimingwhilewhite trended after the verdict. Some people almost seemed upset that more of the Bundys didnt get killed by police. If you recall, one of them, LaVoy Finicum, was killed in cold blood with his arms raised. Then the FBI got caught lying about it. Some want injustice to be distributed evenly, rather than not at all , Vin Armani responds in this powerful segment of his Monday show (1pm EST, 10AM Pacific). Vin Armani is the host of The Vin Armani Show on selfnews Post, TV Star of Gigolos on Showtime, Author, DJ, and Agorist Entrepreneur. Follow Vin on Twitter and subscribe on YouTube. Fake honey trap. There is no such thing as a legal gun, to the author of this article. ALL weapons are protected as arms under our natural right to be armed under that pesky Bill of Rights that so many dont like. Well, we can have whatever weapons we want, anywhere in public, on public land, in our homes/cars, etc and we dont need permission or permits to have them either. Thats all. You can, but you wont be walking around freely for long if you exercise that right. The Bundys went into a federal facility armed. It is illegal to go into a federal facility armed unless you are a law enforcement office. The Bundys are thugs. They still owe the tax payers $20 MILLION in back grazing fees. BTW: the federal government manages land for the people. She is wrong. The government owns military bases So its your opinion that the central govt owns everything?Sounds like communism to me. The FBI shot an killed a woman and her baby on top of Ruby Ridge. The Bundy family pointed guns at the law, how is that exercising their constitutional rights, maybe you better reread the constitution. Unarmed people are murdered, by law enforcement and people like the Bundys cheer, especially if they are black. Many in law enforcement share the Bundys views and are sympathizers. There was a black land protest group and they were met with violence, on day one. I like many of selfnews Post articles on the Deep State. To my dismay many white Libertarians are closet White Supremacist. I may have reexamine my support for Libertarian venues, is liberty only for a certain segment, or for all? No they didnt. All the footage only shows guns pointed one way, at citizens. Nonsense! Youre as wrongs as the traitors in our government who committed these unconstitutional acts against the free people! Praise God for this victory! Nevertheless, not to be overlooked in this is that this could have never occurred if not for the Constitution they were appealing to, specifically Amendment 5s provision for property confiscation: The Fifth Amendment concludes with the provisions that no one shall be deprived of property without due process of law and private property [shall not] be taken for public use without just compensation. Because this provision allows the government to legally steal private citizens lands, these assurances are a cover for theft. Because of Amendment 5s promise of just compensation, most people do not even think to ask whose due process of law is going to be employed and whether the governments confiscation of private lands for public use is ethical or whether governments should own property at all. According to the United States Constitution, just compensation is what the government, not the private owner, decides is equitable. Moreover the prince shall not take of the peoples inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession that my people be not scattered every man from his possession. (Ezekiel 46:18). The Fifth Amendments provision for property confiscation is applied in eminent domain, which is nothing more than a form of organized theft: Thou shalt not remove thy neighbours landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance. (Deuteronomy 19:14) Eminent domain the Constitutional Republics alleged right to seize property for the betterment of the people is one way the government moves boundary markers and steals from its citizens. Bouviers Law Dictionary defines eminent domain, in part, as follows: The superior right of property subsisting in a sovereignty, by which private property may in certain cases be taken or its use controlled for the public benefit, without regard to the wishes of the owner. The right of every government to appropriate otherwise than by taxation and its police authority private property for public use.21. The creation of public lands is another method employed by the Constitutional Republic to move boundary markers. Identifying these lands as public is part of the ruse to conceal the theft. Except that the public is permitted limited access, they are not public at all. These lands, which are often stolen by legislation (such as the Wilderness Act of 1964, the Clean Air Act of 1970, the Endangered Species Act of 1973, and the Clean Water Act of 1977) from private property owners, are owned by the government, not the public. Public lands are just the tip of the iceberg. All of America is owned by federal and state governments via their claim to property taxes and eminent domain.

1	New York Yankees team ownership revealed Tuesday that the phrase 'Yankees suck,' one of the most popular chants in sports, was trademarked by the 27-time World Series champions prior to the 1996 season, a business strategy that has earned the team close to $100 billion over the past 13 years. U.S. Patent and Trademark Office records show that every time an individual chants, shouts, or writes the words 'Yankees suck,' the New York Yankees organization earns at least $2.15, an amount that escalates depending on repetition, volume, and whether the phrase was used during a national broadcast. 'If you multiply that $2 by 13 years of chants, hundreds of sellout games in opposing teams' stadiums, and the hundreds of millions of people who hate the Yankees, you can see that this was a brilliant financial tactic,' Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner said during a televised press conference at the team's spring training facility. 'Where do you think we get the money to keep Mariano Rivera here? Or sign a bust like Carl Pavano without making the slightest dent in our bank account?' 'You know what? Why don't you all join me in a 'Yankees suck' chant right now. Come on, you know you want to,' Steinbrenner added. 'Yankees suck! Yankees suck! Yankees suck! That's another $9 million right there.' Steinbrenner later told reporters that plans to trademark the phrase in 1996 were part of a long-term strategy. Team management was keenly aware that the Yankees would be a World Series contender that year, and with the emergence of Derek Jeter and a roster that included veterans like Paul O'Neill, baseball fans were certain to be chanting 'Yankees suck' in droves. Furthermore, financial records indicate that by also owning the rights to the common anti-Yankee epithet 'Jeter blows,' the team earned much of the money needed to sign Alex Rodriguez in 2004. In addition, by creating and obtaining the trademarks to the phrases 'A-Roid,' 'A-Fraud,' and 'Jeter sucks, A-Rod swallows,' as well as acquiring partial intellectual property rights to the concept that 'All the Yankees are overpaid assholes who make it virtually impossible for smaller-market teams to compete,' the team has accumulated a fiscal safety net that is estimated to last until 2210. General Manager Brian Cashman told reporters that baseball fans who muttered 'Yankees suck' to themselves while on the grounds of major-league ballparks during the second half of the 2007 season alone essentially funded the team's new $1.2 billion stadium. 'Owning the 'Yankees suck' property is the best thing that ever happened to this organization,' Cashman said. 'CC Sabathia and Mark Teixeira were both signed with 'Yankees suck' money. And people who said 'Yankees suck' over the course of our 2000 World Series run helped foot the bill for executive bonuses and the organization's annual Christmas party. To be honest, I actually can't remember the last time we had to dip into our funds from merchandising, broadcast rights, or ticket sales.' Cashman said 'Yankees suck' was a year-round moneymaker for the organization, providing an endless revenue stream that stems not only from chants during the regular season and playoffs, but also from offhanded remarks made during casual conversations among friends, and from people yelling the phrase at public events that have nothing to do with the Yankees. 'Every wedding season we earn a few million dollars from people who shout our trademarked 'Yankees suck' chants during their receptions,' Cashman added. 'That's the equivalent of a decent bat in the DH spot or a high-quality reliever.' The organization also has reason to be optimistic about the future of 'Yankees suck' revenue: Accountants project that, as the Internet and cable television bring the team into millions more homes across the globe, there could soon come a time when the Yankees are told they suck three times a second on every continent. 'Interactive media is the next wave,' Cashman said. 'With our upcoming mobile phone apps and web integration, we'll soon be able to charge millions more people for using 'Yankees suck' in the privacy of their daily lives.' When asked why the team would reveal to the public how much it earns from various anti-Yankee cheers, team sources said there is actually more money to be made from people knowing about their strategy. 'We are banking on the fact that this will make everyone detest the Yankees even more, which would be a real windfall for us,' said co-owner Hank Steinbrenner, smirking broadly. 'In the end, we just want to say one thing to those who have openly expressed their hatred for this organization over the years: Thank you.' Thus far, his prediction is proving correct, as very few people have shown an ability to muzzle their feelings for the Yankees. 'Fuck the Yankees,' said Boston resident and Red Sox season-ticket holder George Donaldson, who in the last month has lost the funds necessary to buy groceries and pay his mortgage while the Yankees earned the money they will need to lure Jason Bay away from the Red Sox and bring in high-caliber starting pitchers Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay. 'Fuck them right in the ass.' 
2	BREAKING: HILLARYS TRUE HEALTH PROBLEM LEAKS... See It Before The Media Washes It Away In the past few months, Barack Obama has been pushing Americans to vote for Hillary Clinton. Its clear he wants Clinton to pick up where he left off, and he knows Trump will quickly abolish all of his ridiculous policies. Its no shock, then, that Obama has known about Clintons health problems for months now. According to Daily Mail, Obama is so worried about Clintons health, he recently offered to arrange a secret medical checkup for her at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Hillary reportedly refused that offer, afraid that the media would find out that she has been suffering from arrhythmia, a leaking heart valve, chronic low blood pressure, insufficient blood flow, a tendency to form life-threatening blood clots, as well as a host of troubling side effects from her medications. Clinton has been having her own secret medical visits for months, going through private entrances and meeting with doctors who will hold on to her secrets. What do you think? Does America deserve to know the truth about Clintons health? 
2	Huge Investigation Launched Against Eric Holder After His Latest Racist Move Recently, an investigation into the actions of Attorney General Eric Holder was held after he dispatched the Justice Departments Community Relations Service to the scene in Ferguson. Eric Holders Justice Department is unfortunately not to be trusted on racial matters, claimed Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. He has a record of racially inflammatory rhetoric that is extreme in ideology and cynical in its politics. Holder dispatched his team after Michael Brown was killed by an unnamed police officer this weekend. Since the death, black Americans have been rioting in the streets. What do you think? Is Holder clearly racially motivated? 
1	Several NBA scouts confirmed Monday that Thunder forward Kevin Durant's recent success in both the regular season and playoffs could prompt more teams to draft very tall players. 'We've been following Kevin Durant very closely to see how the Thunder's 'tall-player experiment' would work out, and we've come to the conclusion that players 6-foot-8 and above have the potential to be very effective in the NBA,' said Minnesota Timberwolves scout Brent Haskins, acknowledging that many basketball skeptics believed Durants tallness would be a disadvantage on the court and that his closeness to the rim would impede his ability to score. 'This is a whole new model for the league and could play into the draft quite a bit. We are definitely thinking about going with someone tall this time around.'

The criminal took her from store to store, making huge withdrawals from her credit and debit cards. When he cards were maxed out, the criminal, Rodriguez, was trying to force her back into his car. This is when store clerk Manveer Komer realized something was wrong, and took action. He brought out his gun from behind the counter and saved the doctor. He then called the police and Rodriguez, and repeat offender, was arrested on the spot. Do you think every citizen should be armed and trained? 
1	According to a study published Tuesday in the Journal Of Neuroscience, snapping three times in rapid succession is the most effective method for remembering the names of films and actors that have slipped one's mind. 'When denied access to lun, subjects who were able to correctly remember semi-obscure movie trivia invariably used the tri-snapping method,' head researcher Dr. Ward Connell said of the study, which consisted of asking volunteers several questions pertaining to a photograph of Dermot Mulroney. 'Secondary findings indicate that using the word 'um' and phrases such as 'oh, you know' enhance the efficacy of this method by nearly 35 percent, and those who used expletives were on average three times more successful.' Additional evidence has suggested the snapping technique may be linked to the effectiveness of loudly narrating one's previous activities while attempting to find misplaced keys. 
3	E-Verify = E-Total StateWendy McElroy Obama assumed office with a vow to lead the most transparent White House in American history. Now another Godzilla Act has another massive gotcha that steps closer to the total state. The 800 plus page Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013 (S.744) was introduced in the Senate on April 17 by a powerful group of bipartisan senators known as the Gang of Eight. And, as the comedian George Carlin once said of bipartisanship, it usually means that a larger-than-usual deception is being carried out. Section 3101 of S.744, Unlawful Employment of Unauthorized Aliens, contains a mandatory Identity Authentication Mechanism that mandates a biometric ID database for almost every adult in America. The so-called Photo Tool database would be administered jointly by the Social Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). It would include not only personal information but also photographs from state-issued ID such as a drivers license. Every adult who drives or travels, who opens a bank account or intersects with a government agency requires a state-issued photo ID. This means almost every adult in America will be on record with the most powerful domestic surveillance and police force in the world. The ostensible purpose of the database is to prevent the illegal employment of undocumented immigrants. Employers would be legally obligated to E-Verify every person they hired; that is, they would be required to match the photo on a covered identity document provided to the employer [by the job applicant] to a photo maintained by a US Citizenship and Immigration Services database. The American state does not care about the financial cost E-Verify inflicts on business or taxpayers. The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI)estimates the cost at about $4.1 billion in initial setup costs and $8.5 billion in ongoing annual costs to government, businesses, and employees. Additionally, if a specified 5,000 special agents are hired at an annual compensation that starts at $45,416 per year, the new hires will likely cost taxpayers at least $2.27 billion over the next decade. The American state does not care about the social control E-Verify inflicts on individuals. The Act has a clear potential if not the likelihood of becoming a civil liberties train wreck. Once the bureaucracy is in place, there is no reason for E-Verify to stop with employment; there are reasons for the state to expand the programs mission. The DHS could demand the verification of identity and a collection of data every time a person accesses a finance service, buys a home or car, boards a plane or train, applies for a license, seeks health care, casts a vote, requests a government service, or logs into a social network. Defenders of S.744 reply that the Act allows the database to be used only for the purpose of hiring; the Act expressly forbids the establishment of a national ID database. They should read history. Social Security numbers were introduced in 1935 by Obamas hero Franklin D. Roosevelt. They were explicitly prohibited from being used for any purpose other than tracking accounts within the Social Security program. People were expressly forbidden to use a Social Security numbers for identification. Cards issued from 1946 to 1972 had the words for social security purposes, not for identification printed prominently across their face. Today Social Security numbers are an unofficial and universal form of national ID without which it is difficult to function in the mainstream of society. Two-thousand and thirteen moves faster than 1935. The evolution of Social Security numbers from innocuous from ubiquitous took decades; the evolution of S.744 may take months. Moreover, the Act does not restrain the type of biometric data to be gathered and used. Although S.744 currently mandates only the storing of photographs, it explicitly provides for the development of specific and effective additional security measures to adequately verify the identity of an individual whose identity may not be verified using the photo tool. The Act makes vague reference to additional security measures that may be required to keep up with technological advances and to provide a high level of certainty as toidentity. Vagueness in law favors the state. The news outlet Policymic observed, There is no higher level of certainty than DNA. The political circumstances surrounding S.744 are also cautionary. For example, last week Senator Orrin Hatch filed a proposed amendment to launch the process of collecting biometric data (e.g. fingerprints, iris scans) on all foreigners departing the United States. This is a considerable expansion of S.744s mission. And, yet, criticism from Hatchs fellow-Senators focused upon the amendments economic cost, not upon its expansion of the Act. Of course, any mission drift is likely to occur in silence, except for the official denials that it is occurring at all. Silence and denial have become the SOP of government agencies. Civil libertarian Glenn Greenwald addressed the recent revelation that all digital communications meaning telephone calls, emails, online chats and the like are automatically recorded and stored and accessible to the government after the fact. Greenwald identifies this process as the very definition of the ubiquitous, limitless Surveillance State. Why do Americans tolerate total surveillance? One reason is that [t]he real capabilities and behavior of the US surveillance state are almost entirely unknown to the American public because, like most things of significance done by the US government, it operates behind an impenetrable wall of secrecy. State verification is state control. The DHS could easily control social and financial interactions by delaying or refusing verification. It could create second-class citizens by tagging dissenters or others targeted for a denial of privileges like logging onto the Internet, accessing their bank accounts, or buying land. Chris Calabrese a spokesman for the American Civil Liberties Union observed of S744, It starts to change the relationship between the citizen and state, you do have to get permission to do things. More fundamentally, it could be the start of keeping a record ofall things. That would constitute the start of the end. [Editors Note: The US descent into a total police state continues.

1	Following the shooting at a crowded Oregon mall that killed two people Tuesday, local authorities confirmed they were not even going to waste their time trying to find the killer's motive, having determined that the individual was 'really awful and a piece of shit human being and that's that, sound good?' 'Look, we could do a whole thing where we delve into his personal history and find out what, psychologically, made this particular murderer tick, but screw that, here's our conclusion: He was a complete asshole and a crazy prick, and he shot random, innocent strangers for no reason at all, because he was terrible,' Clackamas County Sheriff Cody Arnold told reporters, shrugging his shoulders. 'Fuck 'em, you know? Guy was a really shitty person. There's your motive right there.' Authorities also confirmed that insane assholes who are allowed to have guns tend to do insane things with them, 'How about that?' 
3	Where virtual reality is goingJon Rappoport I want to sketch the path along which virtual reality is going. Right now, companies are selling improved tech that allows a helmet-wearer to see landscape and people in a wider perspective, and hear layers of sounds to the left and right, and above and below him. He can also walk inside the virtual set up. He cant touch everything he sees yet, but thats coming. And perhaps one day, hell be able to sit down at a lavish meal and smell and taste the food. Sight, sound, touch, smell, taste. A five-sense envelope. Hell leap off a cliff, fly through the clouds, and attack a monster coming his way, and hell win. Hell do this over and over, and begin to control his own attendant fear. (You can see the obvious military use.) Butthe money men behind virtual reality will want more. Theyll want to program the users reactions AHEAD OF TIME; his feelings, sensations, nervous-system responses, endocrine outputs, brain signals. The full package. Press Button A on your remote and receive the complete experience as we give it to you. Eventually, there wont be a button A. Buyers will want what theyre given. Thats the threshold, the crossover: Why try to imagine and create your own reactions? Why try to minimize your Pavlovian responses? The VR techs already have the answers for you. And their answers are very much like a medical protocol. Entrainment on multiple levels. This is where virtual reality is heading. In the process, the basic principle of elite reality-building will be expanded: cut off the individuals imagination; bury it; exclude it; make it unnecessary. Why? Because that imagination, and its ability to invent new unpredictable realities, is ultimately what stands between a locked-down planet and a planet that has a chance of freedom. No matter what happens to this society, civilization, and culture, imagination has to stay alive. There is, at any given moment, a whole level of solution and innovation that is in a state of hidden potential, that is uncreated and unknownno one knows what these solutions are, because individuals havent invented them yet, havent dreamed them up, havent acted on them. If, by burying imagination, you eliminate this level, whats left is total control over the population. Ill take this a step further. Humans are ALREADY operating with a package of pre-programmed brain signals, endocrine outputs, nervous-system reactions, emotional responses, and sensations. But The package isnt sealed, it isnt complete, it isnt final, it isnt unalterable. There are escape hatches. The primary path of escape is, in fact, imagination. Its the ability to demote things-as-they-are, in favor of what might be, what could be, what is inventedand living through and by imagination radically changes neurological and emotional and hormonal responses. What constituted ones old life becomes fuel for the fire of a new created life. If you look at the technocratic field of brain-computer interface, and the so-called Singularity, in which the human brain plus the master-computer equal some mystical fulfillment, youre really looking at a very old notion: The accumulation of all knowledge brings illumination. This is a nonsensical premise. The total of accumulated knowledge is an infinitesimal fraction of what hasnt yet been created. Whether we appreciate it or not, we swim in a vast sea of that uncreated potential; and hooking up to a computer via the brain does nothing to intensify the desire to deploy imagination and turn the potential into new reality. You could spend the next million years cataloging data, information, knowledge, indexing it, comparing it, cross-referencing it, accumulating it; and you wouldnt begin to approach or touch what imagination can do. In this sense, the internal systems of a human being are temporary baseline protocols waiting for imagination to revolutionize them down to their core. The overall effect of all forms of mind control is: inducing an acceptance that the temporary and the provisional are permanent. That acceptance gives you a passive human being.

1	Despite a catchy 1890s soundtrack and realistic-feeling game play, Sousaphone Hero, the third installment of Activision's massively popular Guitar Hero video game franchise, sold a mere 52 copies in the United States in its opening week, the company reported Monday. 'In the wake of Guitar Hero's success, we thought the public was more than ready for additional popular American musical genres in a simulated-performance format, but people don't seem to be responding to marches as well as we had hoped,' said Activision spokeswoman Melissa Hendleman, whose company spent an estimated $25 million developing the game for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii consoles. Sousaphone Hero offers two dozen public-domain marches, including 1893's 'The Liberty Bell,' 1896's 'Stars and Stripes Forever,' and 1897's 'Entry of the Gladiators.' The bulky sousaphone-shaped controller coils around the body, and players wear white spat-like foot coverings fitted with sensors that monitor synchronized marching steps. As with the fret buttons on Guitar Hero's guitar peripheral, the sousaphone controller's three valves are color-coded to match on-screen notes the player must hit. Players may also choose from 27 different fat-guy characters who can be customized with Alpine hats, epaulets, and a mustache editor with a wide array of options. A gamer plays with a special wireless version of the sousaphone controller, meant to increase ease of play. Hendleman admitted that the $345 retail price might be a bit steep for many consumers. She also conceded that Activision may have erred by not releasing the game between Memorial Day and July 4, the prime parade season in the United States. Even so, she added, Sousaphone Hero contains 'more than enough' features to keep gamers absorbed. 'In the career mode, you can rise from playing in park gazebos for church picnics to performing in the halftime show of the Harvard-Yale game,' Hendleman said. 'If you score enough points, you can unlock the ultimate level: playing in the John Philip Sousaled Marine Band at Grover Cleveland's inauguration.' 'And if you like multiplayer gaming, you're in luck,' Hendleman continued. 'In Sousaphone Hero's cooperative marching-band mode, as many as 135 of your friends can play simultaneously.' Hendleman also emphasized the 'fun' rewards players receive as they become more proficient. If they hit enough correct notes in a row, the on-screen crowd yells 'huzzah' and 'bully,' and the sousaphone controller's spit valve will 'drain.' Flubbing notes, however, makes the controller 'fill' with spit, preventing further play and causing the crowd to throw rotten eggs at the hapless on-screen sousaphonist. If characters earn enough bonus points in career mode, they can spend their Liberty-head nickels on a red, green, or blue 'sock' for their sousaphone's bell, or an invigorating chunk of peanut brittle. Response to Sousaphone Hero on video-gaming message boards has been tepid at best. &nbsp; 'That controller is like 100 pounds even though its [sic] only plastic,' wrote mastagamer457, a moderator on one Sousaphone Hero message thread. 'I think I screwed up my shoulder pretty bad.' 'I played the career mode for three hours and kept feeling like I was playing the same annoying circus tune over and over,' kiLLlah_steVe of Columbus, OH wrote. 'On one song, you're forced to play the same two notes back and forth for 96 measures.' Others have complained that the third valve is used only at the expert level, that even proficient players only score a maximum of 60 points per song, and that the 'oompah' meter stays the same shade of gray even if every note is hit. Some also reported that, if not cleaned regularly, the plastic mouthpiece gets crusty. Professional sousaphone player Eric Winkler of New Orleans called the game 'laughably amateurish' and 'nothing like' the actual sousaphone-playing experience. 'The fingering's completely different, for starters,' he said. Due to the poor response to Sousaphone Hero, Activision has halted development of spin-off games Cymbal Hero, Glockenspiel Hero, and Steam Calliope Hero. 
1	Poll data indicates the 2006 mid-term elections were marked by the lowest turnout ever, with only 17 total votes cast. 'Some 24 percent of those who showed up were registered Independents between the ages of 39, 54, 71, and 73, while, surprisingly, less than six percent appeared to be soccer moms driving a green 2000 Plymouth Voyager,' said Harrison Cullers of the Advance Logistics Research Group. 'This really shows how much impact a get-out-the-vote campaign that averages $2.5 million per voter can have on the important Milwaukee-resident-Dave-Anderson demographic.' Critics say the low voter turnout was only exacerbated by problems with Diebold electronic voting machines, citing one Ohio district in which a local Democrat received negative 12 votes. 
1	Concerned about Derek Hodge's future and his ability to ultimately succeed in life, Taft High School guidance counselor Janice Wexler warned the self-mutilating, drug-addicted student about the importance of registering for his SATs. 'This is a risky game you're playing, Derekit may not seem like a big deal now, but forgetting to sign up for the SATs could really hurt you,' Wexler told the 10th-grader, who just 20 minutes earlier had hidden in the school bathroom, snorted two lines of cocaine, and cut his forearms with a razor blade in an effort to gain a sense of control. 'I can't tell you the number of students I've watched go down this tragic road before. Trust me, nothing good can come out of missing the SATs.' After Hodge, in a moment of candor, confessed to Wexler that he needed help, she told him not to worry and handed him a dozen informational pamphlets on 'choosing the school that's right for you.' 
2	Trumps 5 Point Plan For Immigration Is Precisely Why You Want To Vote For Him In his book Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again, Trump carefully outlined a 5-point immigration plan. The first step is to Build a border fence, Trump writes, adding that he would also hire another 25,000 border patrol agents and give them the aerial equipment they need, such as Predator drones, to provide real-time aerial reconnaissance information to agents guarding the border wall. The second step Trump introduces is Enforcing Immigration Law. The third is to end Cozy Detention centers. Thats right, Trump writes. Your government now requires resort-like accommodationspaid for by you, the American taxpayerto reward the flood of people entering our country illegally. Obama has turned America into a laughingstock. Trumps fourth initiative would be ended the dream act, and limiting or eliminating tuition breaks. And the final recommendation is to end Anchor Baby policies. The rest of the world bases citizenship on who the kids parents are, Trump noted. Which is of course the only sane standard. He also went on to claim that the anchor baby phenomenon is one of the major causes of welfare payments going to illegal immigrants. What do you think of Trumps plan? Do you support him? 
2	Whoopi Goldberg Pays The Price After Mouthing Off At Trump... Big Mistake Whoopi Goldberg has been anti-Trump from the beginning, so it is no wonder that she has become even more vocal since he became our countrys president-elect. According to Mediate, Goldberg just spent an entire episode of The View complaining about Trumps appointment of Jeff Sessions to Attorney General. Fellow host Sunny Hostin also issued her objection, claiming Session sets the tone [for racism] and it goes all the way down. She added that her friends in the civil rights division have already started looking for other jobs, fearful the Trump administration will cut their funding. To back her claims, Hostin cited incidents like Sessions calling a black federal prosecutor a boy and indicating that a white lawyer looking for black clients was a race traitor. Goldberg enthusiastically agreed. This does not make me optimistic. This pisses me off, Goldberg argued. We have fought in this country ever sincethe people talk about You try to put stuff behind you. Listen: The Native Americans who were here before everybody had trouble, okay? So we tried to fix that, we tried to make it betterand if youre talking about its a backward move to do civil rights, why are you even running? Why dont you just stay home if thats how you feel? This is Americablack people are not going anywhere, they are not going to be slaves anymore, so take that out of your head, she continued. Muslims who were born here are Americans are not going anywhere. Were not going anywhere. I dont know why you dont get this part! Twitter quickly erupted with disgust at Goldbergs claims. Watch the segment below and tell us what you think. Is she officially losing it? 
2	Megyn Kelly Faces Dire Consequences After Going After Trump... When Megyn Kellys ratings started dropping not long after she took on Trump at the 2015 GOP debate, she came up with a plan. Kelly showed up at Trumps office, ready to negotiate. We had the chance to clear the air, Kelly later said on her show. Reports showed that the truce allowed for an interview between Kelly and Trump in May. That interview did not go as Kelly planned. She was not able to hold Trump accountable for the months of misogynistic abuse that he claimed she inflect on her. Kelly walked away from the interview looking weak, and Trump looked like the good guy. Well that is it, Trump tweeted shortly thereafter. Well done Megynand they all lived happily ever after! Now let us all see how THE MOVEMENT does in Oregon tonight! Since the interview, Trump and Kelly have resumed their rivalry. He has refused to appear on her show again. That is a clear snub, given he has had multiple appearances with other hosts on Fox News. What do you think of the Trump-Kelly feud? Is Trump clearly the winner here? 
1	Saints running back and former Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush refuted charges Monday that he accepted gifts, money, and other benefits exceeding $100,000 in value while playing football for the University of Southern California, claiming he earned that money 'fair and square through constant hard work' at various on-campus work-study jobs. 'During my time at USC, I managed not only to carry a full 12-unit course load every semester while playing Division I football, but I also worked as many as 15 simultaneous work-study jobs that allowed me the opportunity to provide food, clothing, and shelter for my family with a little spending money left over,' Bush said, reading from a prepared statement at the Saints training facility. Bush also added that, on average, the university's work-study jobs paid $6.50 an hour. 'I did not, I repeat, did not earn a dime for my play on the field.' Bush added: 'I used the same focus, intensity, and relentless effort to shelve over 450,000 books as a librarian's assistant at the East Asian Library, Gerontology Library, and Hoose Library Of Philosophy that I did to help lead the Trojans to the 2004 national championship.' According to Bush, the librarian's assistant jobs, along with transporting television sets, DVD players, and overhead projectors across the campus for the school's audio-visual department, allowed Bush to purchase new suits for his stepfather and brother, a makeover for his mother, and limousine service to and from the Downtown Athletic Club for his Heisman Trophy ceremony. 'Whenever I would show a clip and the sound wouldn't work, it was always Reggie who would sprint the 40 yards from the audio-visual center in 4.2 seconds flat,' said history professor Niles Langford. 'And since I'm a real dumbbell with these electronics, believe me, he earned his money.' Bush said that he was able to purchase a 45-inch high-definition flat-screen television, rent his posh downtown apartment, and buy his friends the newest pair of Air Jordans by 'working [his] butt off at the Carl's Jr. in the student union, taking lecture notes for disabled students six times a week, and working the Sunday-morning shift as a security guard at Trojan Hall.' 'Reggie paid strict attention to those who entered and exited the dorm, making sure the guest policy was upheld and honored,' said dorm supervisor Alex Valinsky. 'Under his watch, nearly 17,000 guest violations were recorded.' 'Easily a school record,' Valinsky added. 'Better even than O.J.'s work guarding faculty parking.' In addition, Bush said he worked after football practice from midnight until 5 a.m. for USC's Campus Cruiser Program, in which students who were out late and fearful of their general safety could call Bush's brand-new Motorola Razr cellular phone and be driven back to their dormitories in Bush's 2005 Cadillac Escalade with headrest television monitors. 'He was always very kind, polite, and never asked any embarrassing questions about what we had been doing,' said USC junior Rebecca Meuthing, adding that in each of the nearly 1,160 times he escorted her home, Bush waited outside the dormitory listening to the newest rap CDs until he was sure she got in safely. 'Sometimes we talked about football, but he mostly talked about how, after he dropped me off, he had to get to his work-study job entering grades into the USC School of Architecture database.' The money from that particular job, Bush insists, went a long way in providing his relatives with round-trip airfare so they could watch him compete on game day. The biggest charge against Bushthe question of his family's ability to move from their small San Diego apartment to a $757,000 home in Spring Valley during Bush's junior yearcould, according to Bush, be explained by his 'cushy' job in the Student Activities Office, which Bush admits was 'pretty easy,' saying he 'literally did nothing for $11 an hour.' 'When I find the shoebox with all of my time sheets and pay stubs, I will be vindicated of any wrongdoing,' Bush's statement concluded. 'Unfortunately, most of these hundreds of boxes seem to contain new pairs of shoes, but they have to turn up sooner or later.' Trojans head coach Pete Carroll, who took reporters' questions as an opportunity to praise his former running back's 'impeccable work ethic,' said he was unaware the running back was making so much money, adding that he assumed the Hummer limousine in which Bush arrived at practice every day was simply provided by his agent. 
1	Speaking with reporters Tuesday, staff members of local Thai restaurant Lemongrass expressed their earnest hope that area couple Eric Barstow and Jennifer Dumont would notice the newly opened establishment and mention aloud to one another their desire to try eating there sometime. All we want is for Eric and Jen to pause on the sidewalk, mention how they havent seen this place before, and then spend a few moments looking at the menu in our window and pointing out a few items they think sound good, said waitress Bua Nantakarn, who also noted her and her colleagues fervent wish that Dumont peek through one of the eaterys windows and comment that it looked cute inside. And were really hoping they remark on how they havent had Thai in a while before pledging to give us a shot at some indefinite point in the future. That would really mean so much to us. At press time, cashier Ditaka Chartpong had nervously exited the restaurant and gazed up and down the street for some sign of the couple. 
1	Members of the brilliant, highly trained, and dedicated team of elite professionals who work tirelessly behind the scenes to protect our nation and keep its citizens out of harm's way announced Tuesday that they do not exist. 'I know most Americans like to believe there are selfless, ultra-intelligent operatives like me out there watching over everything from an underground control room,' said the Rhodes Scholar Navy SEAL national security official who for the past 10 years we have all mistakenly presumed to be an actual human being. 'Unfortunately, though, I'm not employed by the U.S. government, I'm not working at all hours to foil terrorist plots, nor am I part of some secret network of sharp, capable agents, because no such network exists.' 'And again, neither do I,' the imaginary man added. According to the utterly nonexistent super-geniuses who we've been telling ourselves are keeping our nation safe with their superior technology and lightning-fast decision-making abilities, there are currently no living people who resemble them at the Pentagon, CIA, FBI, DHS, TSA, or any other federal, state, or local law enforcement agency, and there never really have been at any point in American history. Millions of Americans bear the humiliation of airport security every day, erroneously believing there are real people currently protecting our nation by monitoring Yemeni terrorists from a subterranean control room near Denver. Fictitious sources also confirmed that the so-called 'masterminds' behind our country's security and strategic defense are in fact people of moderate to reasonably above-average intelligence just like us who perform their jobs with more or less the same degree of competence and zeal as any regular person with a job would. 'Obviously, it would be very comforting, and pretty cool, if there were stealth groups of resourceful, naturally gifted secret agents like me scouring the planet, rooting out terrorist sleeper cells, and tracking down Osama bin Laden,' said a multilingual computer/ explosives/espionage expert who most Americans actually believe is a real guy out there. 'I'm not denying that would be amazing; my only point is that it just isn't true.' 'Believe me, I wish I existed, too,' the fake man added. 'I would probably be great.' Following the announcement, reporters learned that the all-seeing satellite cameras and invisible eyes that millions of Americans assume are diligently watching every square-inch of the country like a silent sentinel are either not up there at all, or are being monitored by a tired, modestly educated man reading Road & Track magazine in a tiny office. And, despite the widely held belief in some sort of all-knowing superagency that secretly controls all the other intelligence branches from above, attempts by reporters to contact such an agency were unsuccessful, as there is no way this is actually a thing. 'Look, I understand your psychological need to invent someone like me so that you can stop worrying about imminent disasters and get some sleep at night,' said the hyper-articulate, Princeton-educated political-scientist jujitsu-master we're all imagining. 'But the reality is most of the smart, qualified people in this country are wasting away in assistant professorships at struggling public universities or making millions of dollars in some venture capital group. In fact, that's exactly the kind of job I would have right now if I were a real person. Which I'm not.' 'But good luck with everything,' he added, or rather didn't add, because he neither said anything nor even ever existed at all. In response to the announcement, members of the actual team of government workers in charge of keeping our country safe each day sought to reassure the American people that the nation's welfare is in good hands. 'Oh, yeah, don't worry about it,' said the underpaid 28-year-old GED recipient who makes you take off your shoes and throw away your water bottle before you get on an airplane. 'We got all kinds of crazy computers and shit to monitor things, so there's no way anything can go wrong. We got you covered.' 
1	The Justice Department announced Monday that it had finally found enough time in its busy schedule to squeeze in the prosecution of alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, more than six years after the high-profile suspect was captured and eight years after the worst-ever terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Trying the chief architect of 9/11 has long been on the Justice Department's list of things to do when it has the time. While emphasizing that trying Mohammed had always been 'right up near the top' of the government's to-do list, Attorney General Eric Holder said that the country had at last gotten enough off its plate to actually follow through on bringing to justice the man who oversaw the slaughter of almost 3,000 people. 'Since the tragic events of Sept. 11, the United States has remained committed to putting the individuals responsible for these heinous acts behind bars,' Holder said. 'But come on, you know how it is. Sometimes even really important stuff just kind of falls off the radar. One minute you're watching the second tower crumble in horror and disbelief, and the next thing you know it's almost 2010.' Added Holder, 'There's only so many hours in a day, you know?' Holder said that although the years since the brazen attacks had been painful ones that forced all Americans to rethink their place in a complex and terrifying new world, people were also just insanely busy. 'The thing is, the court system is so jammed nowadays that we're pretty much always playing catch-up,' Holder said. 'On top of that, there's been all this other stuff going on, like the health care debate, the recession, and not one but two presidential elections. I'm not kidding youit's been like a total madhouse around here the past six years.' Khalid Sheikh Mohammed shortly after being captured and in no shape to stand trial for at least a few years. Holder also admitted that the prosecution of Mohammed for his role in the shocking attacks that cost the nation untold billions of dollars 'kind of took a backseat' to other pressing issues, such as the gay-marriage debate, the middle-school graduation of Holder's teenage daughter, Lost, and gripping national news stories such as the Terri Schiavo legal battle. 'And then there was that poor woman who got mauled by the chimpanzee,' said Holder, shaking his head. 'Just imagine what that must have been like.' When asked by reporters what specifically triggered the Justice Department's renewed interest in Mohammed, Holder answered that it stemmed primarily from the discovery of a key document related to the case. 'About a month ago, I was staring at this mountain of papers in front of me, and I said to myself, 'Okay, Eric. Enough is enough. You have got to clean off this desk,'' Holder said. 'And right there underneath all the clutter was some newspaper story from 2003 about how we had finally caught the mass murderer who orchestrated the most gruseome and dramatic terrorist attack of the modern era. I was like, 'Oh, yeah!' and the rest is history.' Friends and family of those who died on 9/11 expressed both relief and surprise at yesterday's announcement. 'I remember it being absolutely gut- wrenching at the time, but, to be honest, after eight long years I'd sort of forgotten about tracking the killers down,' said Linda Mayhew, whose brother perished when hijackers under the command of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed flew American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon. 'But, come to think of it, some closure would be pretty nice.' In addition to prosecuting Mohammed, believed to be the No. 3 man in the entire al-Qaeda network, the Obama administration also announced that it remains fully committed to capturing the group's most dangerous and senior leader. Although no specifics were provided, a White House spokesman assured reporters yesterday that the U.S. would soon 'catch that Ben Ladit guy.' 
3	50 More Reasons To Advance The Total Surveillance State?Gary Gibson Thats not exactly what General Keith Alexander said to the American public before a largely friendly House committee, but it is certainly what he meant. The General, who heads the NSA, claims that the total surveillance spy program had prevented potential terrorist events over 50 times since 9/11 and that at least ten of those thwarted plots involved targets right here in the fatherland, including a plot to attack the New York City subway system. Because the NSA was listening in on every single phone call and reading every email and text, deputy director of the FBI, Sean Joyce, claims that a Kansas mans plot to bomb the New York Stock Exchange was thwarted. Of course, its always a bunch of stuff with an unverifiable amount of danger that the government manages to disrupt, or things they initiated themselves by radicalizing some patsy and then very publicly arresting him. Things like the attempted shoebomber are stopped by private citizens acting in their own naked self-interest for self-preservation. And things like the Boston Bombing manage to happen anyway. The excuse is always the same: it would be even worse if it werent for the government. But its government large-scale terrorism that induces small-scale reprisals in the first case most of the time. Its very hard to tell which acts of small-scale terrorism (as opposed to the large-scale government terrorism with drones and F18s) are false flags designed to advance the surveillance police state or line the pockets of the military-industrial complex and which are genuine. Sometimes these attacks kill both birds with a single stone, as when the attempted underwear bomber conveniently resulted in Homeland Insecuritys, Michael Chertoffs naked body scanners ending up in US airport terminals. There is a certain brilliance to General Alexander low-balling the number to 50 plots stopped over a decade or so. It seems a lot more plausible than the dozens per day figure spat out by a border thug in a heated exchange. People are inclined to believe it. And such attempts at plausibility seem to be working based on the polls that show roughly half of Americans think the government still hasnt gone far enough in destroying privacy to catch the terrorists its often responsible for creating in the first place. While every government is inherently immoral, not every government is nearly as far down the road of imperial police state as the US. In fact, there are plenty of fairly mild governments who dont bother their citizens much. They actually let them keep most or all of their incomeand they dont listen in on all their phone calls or read all their emails! Crazy, I know, but those are the kinds of places that TDV Passports can help you become a citizen of (click here to learn more). And if youre looking for a place to live where the government not only isnt spying on you but where they also mostly let the free market raise standards of living and where you can be surrounded by folks who agree that life is better when the government isnt listening in on all your communications then you should definitely check out Galts Gulch, Chile. US skies will be filled with drones with cameras that can record every physical event taking place in an area the size of a city. The air will be filled with drones as small as insects that can infiltrate all your personal spaces to record you. The government is capturing, storing and poring through every electronic communication in the country. And you really think that wall the Senate is voting on is to keep Mexicans out? Gary Gibson, The Dollar Vigilantes Editor, cut his teeth writing for liberty and profit as the managing editor of the now-defunct Whiskey Gunpowder financial newsletter. He now writes for and edits The Dollar Vigilante. In his capacity as managing editor of TDVs monthly subscription letter TDV Homegrown, Gary insists on playing Russian Roulette by basing himself in the USSA heartland so he can round up information on how the TDV readers stuck in the USSA can best survive and profit in the increasingly turbulent times in the morally and financially bankrupt empire. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	A New Beginning Without Washingtons Sanctimonious MaskPaul Craig Roberts It is not clear to an ordinary person what Snowden has revealed that William Binney and other whistleblowers have not already revealed. Perhaps the difference is that Snowden has provided documents that prove it, thereby negating Washingtons ability to deny the facts with its usual lies. Whatever the reason for Washingtons blather, it certainly is not doing the US government any good. Far more interesting than Snowdens revelations is the decision by governments of other countries to protect a truth-teller from the Stasi in Washington. Hong Kong kept Snowdens whereabouts secret so that an amerikan black-op strike or a drone could not be sent to murder him. Hong Kong told Washington that its extradition papers for Snowden were not in order and permitted Snowden to leave for Moscow. The Chinese government did not interfere with Snowdens departure. The Russian government says it has no objection to Snowden having a connecting flight in Moscow. Ecuadors Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino responded to Washingtons threats with a statement that the Ecuadorian government puts human rights above Washingtons interests. Foreign Minister Patino said that Snowden served humanity by revealing that the Washington Stasi was violating the rights of every citizen in the world. Snowden merely betrayed some elites that are in power in a certain country, whereas Washington betrayed the entire world. Secretary of State John Kerry has been issuing warnings hand over fist. He has threatened Russia, China, Ecuador, and every country that aids and abets Snowdens escape from the Washington Stasi. Those who dont do Washingtons bidding, Kerry declared, will suffer adverse impacts on their relationship with the US. What a stupid thing for Kerry to say. Here is a guy who once was for peace but who has been turned by NSA spying on his personal affairs into an asset for the NSA. Try to realize the extraordinary arrogance and hubris in Kerrys threat that China, Russia, and other countries will suffer bad relations with the US. Kerry is saying that amerika doesnt have to care whether the indispensable people have bad relations with other countries, but those countries have to be concerned if they have bad relations with the indispensable country. What an arrogant posture for the US government to present to the world. Here we have a US Secretary of State lost in delusion along with the rest of Washington. A country that is bankrupt, a country that has allowed its corporations to destroy its economy by moving the best jobs offshore, a country whose future is in the hands of the printing press, a country that after eleven years of combat has been unable to defeat a few thousand lightly armed Taliban is now threatening Russia and China. God save us from the utter fools who comprise our government. The world is enjoying Washingtons humiliation at the hands of Hong Kong. A mere city state gave Washington the bird. In its official statement, Hong Kong shifted the focus from Snowden to his message and asked the US government to explain its illegal hacking of Hong Kongs information systems. Chinas state newspaper, The Peoples Daily, wrote: The United States has gone from a model of human rights to an eavesdropper on personal privacy, the manipulator of the centralized power over the international internet, and the mad invader of other countries networks. . . The world will remember Edward Snowden. It was his fearlessness that tore off Washingtons sanctimonious mask. Chinas Global Times, a subsidiary of The Peoples Daily, accused Washington of attacking a young idealist who has exposed the sinister scandals of the US government. Instead of apologizing Washington is showing off its muscle by attempting to control the whole situation. Chinas official Xinhua news agency reported that Snowdens revelations had placed Washington in a really awkward situation. They demonstrate that the United States, which has long been trying to play innocent as a victim of cyber attacks, has turned out to be the biggest villain in our age. The Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov made it clear that Russias sympathy is with Snowden, not with the amerikan Stasi state. Human rights ombudsman Vladimir Lukin said that it was unrealistic to expect the Russian government to violate law to seize a transit passenger who had not entered Russia and was not on Russian soil. RTs Gayane Chichakyan reported that Washington is doing everything it can to shift attention away from Snowdens revelations that show that the US has lied and has been doing the same as they accuse China of doing. Ecuador says the traitor is Washington, not Snowden. The stuck pig squeals from the NSA directorEdward Snowden has caused irreversible damage to USare matched by the obliging squeals from members of the House and Senate, themselves victims of the NSA spying, as was the Director of the CIA who was forced to resign because of a love affair. The NSA is in position to blackmail everyone in the House and Senate, in the White House itself, in all the corporations, the universities, the media, every organization at home and abroad, who has anything to hide. You can tell who is being blackmailed by the intensity of the squeals, such as those of Dianne Feinstein (D, CA) and Mike Rogers (R, MI). With any luck, a patriot will leak what the NSA has on Feinstein and Rogers, neither of whom could possibly scrape any lower before the NSA. The gangster government in Washington that has everything to hide is now in NSAs hands and will follow orders. The pretense that amerika is a democracy responsible to the people has been exposed. The US is run by and for the NSA. Congress and the White House are NSA puppets. Lets quit calling the NSA the National Security Agency. Clearly, NSA is a threat to the security of every person in the entire world. Lets call the NSA what it really isthe National Stasi Agency, the largest collection of Gestapo in human history. You can take for granted that every media whore, every government prostitute, every ignorant flag-waver who declares Snowden to be a traitor is either brainwashed or blackmailed. They are the protectors of NSA tyranny. They are our enemies. The world has been growing increasingly sick of Washington for a long time. The bullying, the constant stream of lies, the gratuitous wars and destruction have destroyed the image hyped by Washington of the US as a light unto the world. The world sees the US as a plague upon the world. Following Snowdens revelations, Germanys most important magazine, Der Spiegal, had the headline: Obamas Soft Totalitarianism: Europe Must Protect Itself From America. The first sentence of the article asks: Is Barack Obama a friend? Revelations about his governments vast spying program call that into doubt. The European Union must protect the Continent from Americas reach for omnipotence. Der Spiegal continues: We are being watched. All the time and everywhere. And it is the Americans who are doing the watching. On Tuesday, the head of the largest and most all-encompassing surveillance system ever invented is coming for a visit. If Barack Obama is our friend then we really dont need to be terribly worried about our enemies. There is little doubt that German Interior Minister Hans Peter Friedrich has lost his secrets to NSA spies. Friedrich rushed to NSAs defense, declaring: thats not how you treat friends. As Der Spiegal made clear, the minister was not referring to the fact that our trans-Atlantic friends were spying on us. Rather, he meant the criticism of that spying. Friedrichs reaction is only paradoxical on the surface and can be explained by looking at geopolitical realities. The US is, for the time being, the only global powerand as such it is the only truly sovereign state in existence. All others are dependenteither as enemies or allies. And because most prefer to be allies, politiciansGermanys includedprefer to grin and bear it. It is extraordinary that the most important publication in Germany has acknowledged that the German government is Washingtons puppet state. Der Spiegel says: German citizens should be able to expect that their government will protect them from spying by foreign governments. But the German interior minister says instead: We are grateful for the excellent cooperation with US secret services. Friedrich didnt even try to cover up his own incompetence on the surveillance issue. Everything we know about it, we have learned from the media, he said. The head of the countrys domestic intelligence agency, Hans-Georg Maassen, was not any more enlightened. I didnt know anything about it, he said. And Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger was also apparently in the dark. These reports are extremely unsettling, she said. With all due respect: These are the people who are supposed to be protecting our rights? If it wasnt so frightening, it would be absurd. For those moronic amerikans who say, Im not doing anything wrong, I dont care if they spy, Der Spiegal writes that a monitored human being is not a free one. We have reached the point where we free americans have to learn from our German puppets that we are not free. Here, read it for yourself: Present day Germany is a new country, flushed of its past by war and defeat. Russia is also a new country that has emerged from the ashes of an unrealistic ideology. Hope always resides with those countries that have most experienced evil in government. If Germany were to throw off its amerikan overlord and depart NATO, amerikan power in Europe would collapse. If Germany and Russia were to unite in defense of truth and human rights, Europe and the world would have a new beginning. A new beginning is desperately needed. Chris Floyd explains precisely what is going on, which is something you will never hear from the presstitutes. Read it while you still can:http://www.globalresearch.ca/follow-the-money-the-secret-heart-of-the-secret-state-the-deeper-implications-of-the-snowden-revelations/5340132 There would be hope if Americans could throw off their brainwashing, follow the lead of Debra Sweet and others, and stand up for Edward Snowden and against the Stasi State.

3	Researchers Discover Flaxseed Regresses Cardiovascular Plaque in AnimalsSayer Ji A promising new study published in the American Journal of Physiology and Circulation Researchtitled, The Effects of Dietary Flaxseed on Atherosclerotic Plaque Regression, looked at whether flaxseed in the diet of rabbits is capable of regressing atherosclerotic plaque, the primary pathological process associated with gradual constriction or sudden blockage in the arteries leading to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. [i] According to the study, Dietary flaxseed can retard the progression of atherosclerotic plaques. However, it remains unclear whether these anti-atherogenic effects extend to plaque regression. Rabbits were divided into either a regular diet (Group I) or a 1% cholesterol-supplemented diet (Group II), with the latter group showing signs of steady plaque growth, as well as lowered response to stress hormone (norepinephrine) induced vessel contraction and impaired relaxation response to acetylcholine, which are indications of endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerotic plaque progression. Back in 2004, the journal Atherosclerosis published a study in hamsters revealed that flaxseed might provide an ideal solution for aging women, who following the failure of their ovarian reserve in the mid-40s to late 50s, begin to develop adverse changes in their blood lipids and increased atherosclerotic lesions. What the researchers found by using an animal model was that dietary flaxseed consumption was as effective estrogen (estradiol) for preventing some of the adverse blood lipid changes associated with the change of life, and the furthermore, flaxseed was capable of preventing fatty streak area and the incidence of lesions that were also induced by hormone deficiency. [ii] This finding is consistent with previously reported research that indicates that flaxseed has significant estrogen-like activity, however, without the well-known cancer risks associated with the use of estradiol (E2). [See: Confirmed: Flaxseed Contains Estrogens That Regress Cancer.] How Does Flaxseeds Cardiovascular Benefits Work? Like any complex food, flaxseed has multiple modes of action. The three primary beneficial compounds are: What Are Some of the Other Benefits of Flaxseed? Flaxseed is a true medicinal marvel. GreenMedInfo.com has identified research indicating it has potential value in preventing or treating over 50 health conditions. [See Flaxseed Benefits research] Here are some highlights: How Much Flaxseed Should You Take? While there is no hard and fast right amount for everyone, it makes sense to incorporate a tablespoon of ground flaxseed a day in a culinary application, such as oatmeal or a smoothie, if you are looking to attain a medicinal dose. It helps to remember that regardless of flaxseeds evidence-based therapeutic properties, it is actually an excellent food, and should be incorporated into the diet in a way that actually provides some enjoyment (vitamin P[leasure] is of course as important as the nutritional composition of the food]. I personally try to consume a tablespoon of ground flaxseed daily. Grinding it fresh is ideal. This will also release the nutrient-dense interior of the seed for easy digestion, increasing the surface area by several orders of magnitude vs. consuming the seed whole. Remember that you must consume enough liquid with the flax meal or it may constipate (this seed suck up quite a bit of water and produces a soothing mucilaginous gel as a result). On the other hand, when used properly with water, it is a traditional cure for constipation. For additional research on flaxseeds nutritional composition, you can visit the NutritionData.com page on flaxseed here: http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/nut-and-seed-products/3163/2 Finally, for a discussion of other foods that may regress plaque buildup in the arteries, read our recent article on the topic, 7 Ways to Prevent and Even Reverse Heart Disease with Nutrition, or, view our research page on the topic: http://www.greenmedinfo.com/guide/health-guide-heart-health [i] Andrew A Francis, Justin F Deniset, Jose A Austria, Renee K Lavallee, Graham G Maddaford, Thomas E Hedley, Elena Dibrov, Grant N Pierce.

2	Rory Feek Has Broken His Silence With This Heartbreaking NewsThe Feek Family Needs Our Prayers Joey Martin Feek passed away today at the age of 40. She had a two-year courageous battle with cancer and has finally succumbed to the illness. Her battle with cancer has been extremely well documented by her loving husband, Rory Feek. The family is currently mourning the loss of this amazing woman. It has been a day that we knew would come, but prayed would never happen. Joey Feek was a beautiful soul and it tears me apart that she has passed away. Joey Feek received her first record deal in 2001 and during that deal she met the love of her life. Joey and Rory got married 4 months after meeting each other. Joey did not pursue her solo career; instead she decided to work with her husband. The couple were cast on a duet singing show and placed third. After their appearance on the show the couples success skyrocketed. They then knew they could support another child and so they had baby Indiana. Baby Indiana was born two years ago with downs syndrome. Shortly after the birth Joey was diagnosed with cervical cancer. The cancer went into remission but returned in 2015. Joey was then told that the cancer had spread to her colon and had become terminal. She was then placed in hospice care and passed away there. Joey lived an amazing life and influenced us all. Her immense faith showed us what true strength is. She remained strong for her family with one goal in mind. Her dream was to see her daughter turn 2 years old. Joey fulfilled her dream. Then two weeks later her body began shutting down. This morning Joey passed away peacefully in her sleep. May she forever rest in peace. Will you send your prayers to the Feek family? 
1	Speaking reverently as he shared his newfound religious faith, Sacramento River Cats designated hitter Manny Ramirez reportedly taught his triple-A teammates Monday about God's only son, who gave his life for mankind when he was nailed to two crossed bats by a mean Roman umpire. 'God just had one son named Jesus and he was really nice and smiled all the time and performed miracles without using any steroids,' said Ramirez, addressing players gathered in the River Cats' locker room. 'When Jesus got too popular with the fans the bad commissioner had him arrested. But Jesus never ever did anything wrong, man.' 'He was innocent but he didn't run away from the policemen, even though he was really fast and could easily turn a single into extra bases,' Ramirez added. 'He just let them nail his hands and feet to the crossed bats so he could die for our sins, like violating baseball's drug policy.' During batting practice, Ramirez assured the River Cats that God was happy with only one child, claiming that the divine being thought Jesus was the best son who ever lived. 'It wasn't because God was too old or didn't want any more kids, or had one of those special operations,' Ramirez said. 'I asked a guy in a priest uniform.' With the team still reeling from a 2-3 loss to the Fresno Grizzlies, Ramirez reportedly informed the River Cats that Jesus could calm a storm to prevent a rain delay or canceled game, heal a player on the DL with just spit and mud, and erase a 50-game suspension with the snap of his fingers. 'Jesus also talked real good and the words came out of his mouth perfectly, man,' Ramirez said. 'Anybody who heard his pep talk on the mound wanted to try and do their best at the plate.' 'That's why the media always followed him around and made paintings of Jesus, because back then they didn't have good cameras,' Ramirez added. According to Ramirez, police seized Jesus at his special training table immediately after the 'Last Team Dinner,' when he was 'probably still super full from having a lot to eat.' Ramirez explained that Jesus was cruelly forced to wear a cap of thorns that was uncomfortable and so poorly constructed the prickly brim caused the Son of God's head to bleed and itch. Ramirez told his teammates that Jesus, who forgives all people their fielding errors, had to walk through a sellout crowd and climb all the way to the top of the pitching mound while carrying the heavy wood baseball bats, a shovel, catcher's equipment, extra balls, and a metal toolbox filled with hammers and nails. 'Even though Jesus was a great person and always gave everybody a bunch of fish and bread for free, people in the crowd were taunting and booing him, because now they were rooting for a different religion or something,' said Ramirez, adding that Jesus responded by saying confusing things about God that are hard to understand, but probably made sense to people from back in those days. 'And Jesus didn't stop the grounds crew from nailing him to the two crossed bats or ask them to use pine tar instead so he would just stick to the wood.' 'But the nails made holes right through his hands and his glove too,' Ramirez continued. 'If I was Jesus, I wouldn't have died on the crossed bats. I would have used my walking on water power to escape across a lake and then asked God to blow up the bad guys and all the dumb yelling people with lightning bolts.' Ramirez, who said that it 'sucked that Jesus died on the bats,' revealed to his teammates that Jesus was placed in a tomb, but came back to life three days later and was as good as ever. Ramirez confirmed that Jesus hung out with his friends for a while and then flew up to heaven, where he sat right next to God in His luxury box seats. 
2	What Oklahoma Is Banning People From Wearing In Their State Is Pissing People Off As we can seen from the stories rising in the media, one of the most controversial clothing debates as of late is the wearing of a hood. Now, Oklahoma is attempting to ban the wearing of hoods entirely, making efforts to mandate a fine of $500 if caught wearing a hood in public. Oklahoma already has a law dating back to the 1920s that makes it illegal to wear a hood during any illegal activity. Now, the state wants to ban the clothing item altogether in public. The intent of Senate Bill 13 is to make businesses and public places safer by ensuring that people cannot conceal their identities for the purpose of crime or harassment, claims Senator Dan Barrington. Similar language has been in Oklahoma statutes for decades and numerous other states have similar laws in place. Oklahoma businesses want state leaders to be responsive to their safety concerns, and this is one way we can provide protection. Not surprisingly, the new bill has caused some heated debate. While some argue that the bill intends to make Oklahoma a safer place in general, others argue that the new law would just be instigating numerous lawsuits. What do you think of the new bill? 
1	Official reports from the Kremlin Tuesday confirmed that the Society for Creative Anachronism, a group of medieval-wargames hobbyists, seized control of Russia in a bloodless coup over the weekend. SCA members guard the recently seized St. Basil's Cathedral. 'Weakened by food shortages, political instability and widespread economic chaos, our military's combined forces proved no match for the enemy's rattan-and-duct-tape broadswords and homemade weaponry,' said deposed Russian president Boris Yeltsin during a national radio address in which he relinquished rulership to the 'Principality Of The Mists,' one of several dozen SCA 'kingdoms.' 'I can't tell you how humiliating this is,' he added. The SCA, founded in 1966 by a group of Berkeley science-fiction and fantasy fans, is a non-profit organization dedicated to fun and learning through such medieval activities as metalwork, calligraphy, lute-playing and brewing. Boasting more than 20,000 dues-paying members in 14 countries, the club is also known for holding elaborately staged mock battles, followed by feasting and merrymaking amid the revelry of troubadours and jesters. The seizure of over 70% of Russia's land mass marks the first time the SCA has ventured into the arena of international politics. 'I can't believe how easy it was to claim Kiev for the Kingdom Of Ealdormere,' said Royal Peer Gawain Falconsfyre, a 44-year-old tech-support assistant from a suburb of Toronto. 'It was a piece of cake. Haven't any of these Russians ever heard of a moving-shield-wall offense?' Falconsfire and an SCA faction armed only with rubber maces successfully captured two Russian tank divisions outside Moscow Saturday when fuel shortages immobilized the armored vehicles. Due to the disarray of communications within Russia, information regarding the actual invasion is sketchy. It was confirmed, however, that St. Petersburg was taken without a shot being fired late Saturday morning, after thousands of Russian soldiers deserted their posts, joining approximately 70 SCA knights advancing on the city in hopes of being issued new boots and coats. The SCA also overtook vast areas at the borders of former Russian republics Ukraine and Belarus simply by trading several sacks of potatoes for enemy guns. Former president Boris Yeltsin transferring control of Russia to Grand Seneschal Ulf Silverhawk. 'Forsooth, mine legions of brave warmakers hath conquered the Lands West O' the Urals! Let there be great rejoicing in our noble victory!' exclaimed Cedric, Bard of the House of thelmearc, 36, hoisting a flagon of ale. 'What, ho! Bring on the serving wenches!' Cedric, known as Harold Freed when among non-SCA members, is credited with capturing two military air bases and a string of missile installations throughout the north Caucasus region along the Georgian borderan area rendered vulnerable by ethnic infighting, corruption and military anarchy. SCA leaders, who have called the weekend's campaign 'a really good time,' were said to be especially pleased with the invasion's early wrap-up, as it left the remainder of the weekend free for social recreation in the form of mead-drinking, archery contests, and the singing of bawdy madrigals. Even captured Russian soldiers were invited to join in the fun and campfire dancing. Such 'good sportsmanship' has some analysts arguing that the SCA's power base in Russia may even benefit the troubled land in the long run. 'Though civilian rioting and widespread starvation still rock the major population centers, Russia is actually more stable right now than it has been for the last 18 months,' Harvard political science professor F. Horace Gunderson said. 'Candle-dipping seminars are addressing the problems posed by energy shortages, and the booths selling roasted turkey legs represent, in many regions, the first source of food in weeks.' 'This could be the best thing to happen to Russia in years,' agreed State Department foreign-affairs analyst Howard Plum. 'The sale of jewelry, driftwood art and other medieval handcrafting at concession tables throughout Russia has boosted local economies, and SCA presence has even created new jobs in the custodial and campground-rental fields.' The U.N. security council is drafting a proposal urging SCA forces to remain in Russia, at least until a more viable interim government can be structured. 'Under the current political system, the Russian people face Mafia domination of the black market and a deteriorating national infrastructure,' U.N. Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering said. 'With an elaborately networked consortium of amateur gamers in charge, however, there will at least be some semblance of order.' Members of SCA nobility, however, say the group has no interest in running Russia for any great length of time, especially with the members' need to prepare for their next major event, this summer's Pennsic War between the East and Middle Kingdoms, to be held in Pennsylvania. Insiders expect the occupying forces to return power to the Russian government 'on the honor system' and return to their day jobs by the end of the week. 'We're doing this for fun, not the vulgar acquisition of personal political power,' said insurance actuary and Arizona native Willownook Pendragon, of the Kingdom of Atenveldt. 'We're here to celebrate our mutual interest in the ways and customs of pre-1600 feudal Europe, and to bedeck ourselves in the heraldic regalia of our fictional medieval personas, not to get mixed up in politics.' Pendragon added that 'anyone who wants to have a fun time and make new friends' should check out the SCA home page or contact the group's California headquarters directly at its toll-free number for more information on an SCA chapter in their area. 'We're really just friendly folks who welcome outsiders,' Pendragon said. 'Plus, now is a great time to get involved, because there's lots of super events coming up this summer, and you'll want time to prepare the correct blazon for your heraldry.'

3	Obamacare sign-up crash: whats really behind it?Jon Rappoport But this is shortsighted. White House officials knew, months ago, the online site was an unmitigated disaster, and yet they let the train continue speeding down the track to its inevitable crackup. To understand this, we need to go back to the opening salvo in the Obamacare drama. To his advisors shock and surprise, Obama, taking office in 2009, announced that his first big move was going to be national health insurance. His people assumed jobs would be the top priority. The nation was clamoring for a solution. People were out of work. Banks were foreclosing on homes. Families were in peril. How could the President misread the national mood so badly? National health insurance? Now? Where the hell did that come from? The 1993 track record of earlier efforts, headed by Hillary Clinton and her buffoon of a consultant, Ira Magaziner, had run aground, failed miserably, and stirred up considerable animosity. Obama was going to lead with this again? Bring on a storm of contentious clashes in the Congress, the press, and the nation at large? What was he thinking? He wasnt. A super-ambitious campaign on this issue had to come from somewhere else. Obamas high-flying humanitarian rhetoric notwithstanding, the man was acting as an agent of change. An agent. And sure enough, he sank the country in a hostile grinding debate that persists to this day. Meanwhile, the economy and jobs went begging. When the Obamacare bill finally passed, without anyone reading it, and when subsequent arm-twisting led the Supreme Court to call the individual mandate a tax (a transparently preposterous strategy), thus clearing the way for implementation, amid loud cries of fraud, there remained another opportunity for promoting disaster: A system for enrollment that wouldnt work, that would crash, that would look like a bevy of drunken idiots ($634 million richer) had put it together with scotch tape and a random number generator. At a much high level of op, Obamacare was always invented chaos. It was intended to be. The target was America itself. As in destabilization. This is a strategy as old as the hills. In this case, the people in charge, behind the scenes, are Globalists (think Rockefeller, for starters). For over a hundred years, their objective has been the takedown of the United States, one of the strongest holdouts against a planetary management system, in which, ultimately, national borders are erased and individual countries cease to exist. In 1971, David Rockefellers intellectual consigliere, Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote: [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. Achieving such a goal, however, is not simply a matter of standing back and watching evolution take it course. It involves torpedoing major institutions, regardless of how well or poorly they are serving the public interest. In other words: promote chaos at every possible opportunity. The extreme oddness of choosing national health insurance as the first planned shot out of the White House, in 2009, was, at the most important level, an exercise in stirring the national pot with a multi-blade fan engine. Chaos has several aims; among them: raising the level of frustration; dividing the populace; engendering heating conflicts; demoralizing citizens; producing a sense of helplessness; and rendering large numbers of people into a state of surrender and passivity. It is a prelude to a New Order. A more heartless and repressive Order. Obamacare is just one example among hundreds. Operation Chaos has been targeting the United States for well over a hundred years. Of the dozen or so possible first steps of a Presidency, Obama chose the one that would produce the most discord. Because US presidents rarely mention Globalism and its tentacles and plans and organizations, it is assumed the issue isnt of high importance. But since the closing days of World War 2, (and, actually, much earlier), when members of the Rockefeller Council on Foreign Relations were tapped to write the blueprint for the United Nations, when the outline of the Marshall Plan was drafted, when the first serious meetings of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) were set in stone, every American President has looked the other way, when Globalism has reared its head. Thats FDR all the way through to Obama. And during that 70-year period, ops small, medium, and large have been launched to weaken the United States and entangle it in the Globalist framework. For the two terms of Obamas Presidency, national health insurance was chosen as a bare electric wire, to shock, stimulate, and magnify dormant hostilities throughout the country. To the Globalists, the respective merits and flaws in a national healthcare system are of absolutely no concern. It is simply one more opportunity to crash the system and produce a hole in the fabric of national life. For these men, the issue of Obamacare has legs. They will squeeze more out of it, for their own purposes, in the months and years ahead. Mired in the quite serious and real pros and cons of a national health plan, people will miss the bigger picture and pass by it without a glance of recognition. The manipulators dont pick trivial issues. Distraction requires presenting people with forceful conflicts. It requires the belief that events are what they seem and the motives behind them are clear and on the surface.

3	Declassified Documents Disclose CIA Mind Control ProgramsBy Wes Annac I should warn that the information below is unsettling to say the least. It sheds light on a hypnosis-induced form of mind control that creates assassins and what you might call super spies out of ordinary people who have no knowledge of what takes place or what theyre forced to do. It sheds light on a power in the U.S. government so corrupted and evil that it has no problem tricking people into doing awful things that they wouldve never done or supported in their normal waking state. Assassinations, terrorism and sexual favors are just a few of many things mind-controlled victims are forced to do. Like other websites that share this information, Id recommend countering it with positive, wholesome information; perhaps related to the evolution of the soul or something similar that can remind you that despite all of the horrific things the government (and the powers behind it) has done, the world is still a good place. You might not think so after reading some of these documents, but the sooner we can expose all of this, the sooner we can bring justice to those responsible and create a better world that works for the people in every way. Ive decided to copy the declassified CIA documents directly from WantToKnow.info instead of paraphrasing them so they sink in. Heres some information from Want to Know about these documents and the continuation of the programs they discuss: Though dating from the 1950s and 60s, these revealing documents were not released for decades for reasons of national security. The U.S. government claims mind control experiments are no longer being carried out, yet how can we know? The existence of these programs was denied for decades, and certainly any recent documents would be classified secret under the rubric of national security. A trusted CIA informant I know assures me that these programs are ongoing. These disturbing methods are used by various countries in clandestine operations around the world. Many might prefer not to look at these ugly wounds to the soul of our nation and world. Yet if we avoid or ignore them, they are likely to grow and fester. Only by having the courage to look into the shadow parts of our world can we first understand and then work to stop the hidden manipulations and begin to heal these wounds. (1) The first document outlines the success of controlling the minds of young women who volunteered for the experiment (not knowing what they got themselves into). They were successfully instructed to relay information and carry out other tasks in an unconscious state. CIA document and page number: 190684, pp. 1, 4 In a general request for volunteers [deleted names] volunteered for H [hypnosis] experimentation and were originally tested on 21 May 1951. Both girls, at this time, were nineteen years of age. These subjects have clearly demonstrated that they can pass from a fully awake state to a deep H controlled state via the telephone, via some very subtle signal that cannot be detected by other persons in the room, and without the other individuals being able to note the change. It has been shown clearly that physically individuals can be induced into H by telephone, by receiving written matter, or by the use of code, signal, or words. Control of those hypnotized can be passed from one individual to another without great difficulty. It has also been shown by experimentation with these girls that they can act as unwilling couriers for information purposes, and that they can be conditioned to a point where they believe a change in identity on their part even on the polygraph. (2) We learn here that there are various ways hypnosis can be induced; via telephone, a certain code or even a certain word. If this doesnt make it clear that words have a power most people are unaware of, then I dont know what does. Admittedly, the power of words isnt as important here as the fact that they were being used to induce hypnosis and manipulate these young women to do things against their will, as the note under this document snippet from Want to Know explains. Want to Know Note: This document shows that CIA experimenters were successful in hypnotizing young women (19 years old in this case) to do things they would not do normally without any memory afterward, sometimes even unwillingly. Though they volunteered, these women were thus programmed to be Manchurian Candidates or super spies with no knowledge of what these men were doing to them. (3) Before sharing this next snippet, I should note that various forms of abuse are used in mind control programs to fracture the mind and create multiple personalities. The new entering personality carries out assassinations, sexual acts, etc., and the snippet below outlines how electroshock is used to modify attitudes so these malevolent acts can be performed by unwitting suspects. CIA document and page number: 17395, p. 18 Learning models will be instituted in which the subject will be rewarded or punished for his overall performance and reinforced in various ways by being told whether he was right, by being told what the target was, with electric shock etc. In other cases drugs and psychological tricks will be used to modify his attitudes. The experimenters will be particularly interested in disassociative states, from the abaissement de niveau mental to multiple personality in so-called mediums, and an attempt will be made to induce a number of states of this kind, using hypnosis. Want to Know Note: This document provides proof that the CIA was using drugs and electric shock in attempting to induce MPD (multiple personality disorder). Though this document uses the masculine he to describe the subject, other documents show that most of the subjects used were young women who volunteered. The subjects were not informed about the deeper aspects and implications for which they were being trained. If you view the original [document], you will also find interesting information on ESP experiments. (4) The fact that the test subjects, usually young women, were unwitting victims of these experiments is perhaps the worst part of it. This is a blatant violation of their freewill, and you dont need insider testimony to know that the same things are happening today (or worse). These documents come from the 50s and 60s; can you imagine how much progress theyve made in inducing multiple personalities through abuse, trauma and certain words or signals since then? In a disturbing document, we learn how mind controlled super spies were trained to kill against their will. The test subject in this case was afraid of guns and totally unwilling to pick one up in her normal waking state, but in her hypnotized state she was perfectly capable of picking it up and firing. CIA document and page number: 190691, p. 1, 2 A posthypnotic of the night before (pointed finger, you will sleep) was enacted. Misses [deleted] and [deleted] immediately progressed to a deep hypnotic state with no further suggestion. Miss [deleted] was then instructed (having previously expressed a fear of firearms in any fashion) that she would use every method at her disposal to awaken miss [deleted] (now in a deep hypnotic sleep), and failing this, she would pick up a pistol nearby and fire it at Miss [deleted]. She was instructed that her rage would be so great that she would not hesitate to kill [deleted] for failing to awaken. Miss [deleted] carried out these suggestions to the letter including firing the (unloaded pneumatic pistol) gun at [deleted] and then proceeding to fall into a deep sleep. After proper suggestions were made, both were awakened and expressed complete amnesia for the entire sequence. Miss [deleted] was again handed the gun, which she refused (in an awakened state) to pick up or accept from the operator. She expressed absolute denial that the foregoing sequence had happened. (5) The young woman given the gun then expressed her reluctance to continue the experiment. In response, those overseeing the experiment lulled her back into a hypnotic, submissive state and continued on. They wrote that she would improve with proper training. Miss [deleted] felt reluctant about participating further since she expressed her doubt as to any useful purpose in further attendance. The Operator thereupon proceeded in full view of all other subjects to explain to Miss [deleted] that he planned to induce a deep state of hypnosis now. The reaction was as had been expected. Miss [deleted] excused herself to make a telephone call (defense mechanism?). Upon her return a very positive approach was adopted by the operator whereupon a deeper, much deeper state of hypnosis was obtained. Immediately a posthypnotic was induced that when the operator accidentally dropped a steel ball in his hand to the floor Miss [deleted] would again go into hypnosis. Miss [deleted] then advised that she must conclude her work for the evening. She arose to adjust her hair before the mirror. The ball was dropped and she promptly slumped back into the chair and back into hypnosis. It is the opinion of the operator the Miss [deleted] if properly trained (positive approach) will continue to improve. (6) As Want to Know points out, this became less of a volunteered role and more of a role forced onto the test subjects, as outlined by the fact that the young woman who wanted to leave was hypnotized and forced to continue. Want to Know Note: Here we have proof that these women could be converted into unsuspecting and even unwilling assassins. They could be programmed to assassinate anyone and would do so without any conscious knowledge afterward. Note also the questionable status of volunteer implied. Though these women originally volunteered, unwillingness to continue could be manipulated by the men running the program. (7) The next document is long, so Ill break it up into segments. It describes the process of hypnotizing two young women, instructing one to receive a bomb and learn how to activate it and the other to give the bomb and the instructions how to activate it. This is, of course, not something either woman would ever ordinarily do. CIA document and page number: 190527, pp. 1, 2 Prior to actually beginning the more complex experiments, several simple post H were worked with both of the girls participating. The first major experiment of the evening was set up as follows without previous explanation to either [deleted] or [deleted]. Both subjects were placed in a very deep trance state and while in this state, the following instructions were given: (A) [Deleted] was instructed that when she awakened, she was to procede to [deleted] room. She was told that while there, she would receive a telephone call from an individual whom she would know only as Joe. This individual would engage her in a normal telephone conversation. During this conversation, this individual would give her a code word and upon mentioning the code word, [deleted] would go into a deep SI [sleep induction] trance state, but would be normal in appearance with her eyes open. [Deleted] was then told that upon the conclusion of the telephone conversation, she would procede to the ladies room where she would meet a girl who was unknown to her. She was told that she would strike up a conversation with this girl and during the conversation she would mention the code word New York to this other girl, who, in turn, would give her a device and further instructions which were to be carried out by [deleted]. She was told that after she carried out the instructions, she was to return to the Operations Room, sit in the sofa and go immediately into a deep sleep. (8) The document then outlines the instructions given to the girl in possession of the bomb. [Deleted] was instructed that upon awakening, she would proceed to [deleted] room where she would wait at the desk for a telephone call. Upon receiving the call, a person known as Jim would engage her in normal conversation. During the course of the conversation, this individual would mention a code word to [deleted]. When she heard this code word, she would pass into a SI trance state, but would not close her eyes and remain perfectly normal and continue the telephone conversation. She was told that upon conclusion of the telephone conversation, she would then carry out the following instructions: [Deleted] being in a complete SI state at this time, was then told to open her eyes and was shown an electric timing device. She was informed that this timing device was an incendiary bomb and was then instructed how to attach and set the device. After [deleted] had indicated that she had learned how to set and attach the device, she was told to return to a sleep state and further instructed that upon concluding the aforementioned conversation, she would take the timing device which was in a briefcase and proceed to the ladies room. In the ladies room, she would be met by a girl whom she had never seen who would identify herself by the code word New York. [Deleted] was then to show this individual how to attach and set the timing device and further instructions would be given the individual by [deleted] that the timing device was to be carried in the briefcase to [deleted] room, placed in the nearest empty electric-light plug and concealed in the bottom, left-hand drawer of [deleted] desk, with the device set for 82 seconds and turned on. (9) Both of the girls were instructed to return to their rooms and go into a deep sleep when they completed their tasks. [Deleted] was further instructed to tell this other girl that as soon as the device had been set and turned on, she was to take the briefcase, leave [deleted] room, go to the operations room and go to the sofa and enter a deep sleep state. [Deleted] was further instructed that after completion of instructing the other girl and the transferring to the other girl of the incendiary bomb, she was to return at once to the operations room, sit on the sofa, and go into a deep sleep state. (10) The plan had to be changed a little, but overall, the women did exactly what they were instructed to do with no difficulty. For a matter of record, immediately after the operation was begun it was noted that a member of the charforce was cleaning the floor in the ladies room and subsequently, both [deleted] and [deleted] had to be placed once again in a trance state and instructions changed from the ladies room to Room 3. It should be noted that even with the change of locale in the transfer point, the experiment was carried off perfectly without any difficulty or hesitation on the part of either of the girls. Each girl acted out their part perfectly, the device was planted and set as directed and both girls returned to the operations room, sat on the sofa and entered a deep sleep state. Throughout, their movements were easy and natural. (11) Want to Know poses an important question: If these young women could be instructed to do just about anything in an unconscious state, could they not be taken advantage of sexually? Want to Know Note: You will note the frequent use of girls (young women) in these programs. Do you think the men in charge, having complete hypnotic control of these women, might have at times taken advantage of them sexually? Yet this would never enter the official documentation, with the one major exception below. (12) Unfortunately, the answer is yes; this has happened and the document below proves it. CIA document and page number: 140393, p. 1 On 2 July 1951 approximately 1:00 p.m. the instruction began with [deleted] relating to the student some of his sexual experiences. [Deleted] stated that he had constantly used hypnotism as a means of inducing young girls to engage in sexual intercourse with him. [Deleted], a performer in [deleted] orchestra, was forced to engage in sexual intercourse with [deleted] while under the influence of hypnotism. [Deleted] stated that he first put her into a hypnotic trance and then suggested to her that he was her husband and that she desired sexual intercourse with him. Want to Know Note: This document shows that an instructor being used by the CIA took advantage of his skill in hypnosis to sexually abuse young women without their having any knowledge of being abused. How many CIA hypnotists did likewise? Do you think a man involved in these programs might take advantage of a beautiful, young woman knowing she would not remember afterward? Note that for some reason this document is not available in the CIAs three CD set and must be ordered individually at this link. See the What You Can Do section for suggestions on how we can stop this abuse. (13) Its understandable to feel overwhelmed by all of this information. It might make you question how there can be such a level of evil lurking within institutions that seem to control everything, and the more you think about it, the more obvious it will become. Then, you might wonder how the masses let it get this way. Unfortunately, its here and it isnt going anywhere unless we stand up to it. Its maintained through secrecy, and while most of us are generally aware that the government, big banks and other large corporations work against us (while surviving off of what we give them), we have no idea how deep the rabbit hole goes. Im sure mind control is only the tip of the iceberg, and these documents shed light on something we already know; the powers that be, which would rather control us and use us for war than help us prosper, are not our friends. They have no interest in helping the world, and they use us in secretive and sometime horrific ways to get what they want. They thrive from our ignorance and unwillingness to talk about any of this, because we allow what theyre doing to continue by turning a blind eye. I know this stuff is hard to read and its not as fun to think about as spirituality, higher dimensions or the evolution of the soul, but we have to accept this reality before we can change it to match the vision in our minds and hearts. I have the same utopian vision of a planet free from social, environmental and spiritual pollution as many in the conscious community, but we have to focus on what needs to change before we can make the vision come true. We can make the vision of an enlightened new age in human history a reality, but we have to be real about whats preventing it and work as actively to stop all of it as we do to evolve spiritually. We cant focus on enlightenment or utopia while darkness and suffering thrive, and we have to expose and get rid of the bad before we can enjoy the good. We can only spread the light by diving headfirst into the darkness and reaching out a hand for those who are lost. There are about six more documents I didnt include in this report, and if youre interested in educating yourself and raising awareness, I recommend reading the rest of them at Want to Know (link below in footnotes). As long as you can handle an uncomfortable truth, you can bring awareness to it and inspire revolution. If we dont do it, nobody will. Too many people are unwilling to explore topics that take them out of their comfort zone, but in this case, complacency will cause our demise whereas education and enlightenment will liberate us (and the planet) from mind control and certain destruction.

I do feel sorry for the good remaining people of the nation who clearly comprehend the gravity of it all. Alas, these things will fester as there wont be enough will and courage to rectify them. Youve got no idea how much they will fester as there is no graver burden than that of being part of the superpower with world-wide ambitions. 
1	After more than 60 years of redacting classified but amusing anecdotes from Reader's Digest's popular Humor in Uniform section, the CIA announced Monday that the full text of thousands of previously censored jokes will now be made available to the public. A sidesplitting personal reminiscence once censored by CIA officials in effort to avoid compromising the stability of U.S.-backed military dictatorships. Submitted to the monthly magazine by covert field operatives, paramilitary officers, and black-ops specialists, the lighthearted vignettes have for decades only appeared with their most sensitive and hilarious details obscured. 'Since the dawn of the Cold War, certain humorous materials have been kept from the American public in the name of national security,' CIA director Leon Panetta said at a press conference. 'But thanks to recent declassification efforts and the Freedom of Information Act, citizens will now be able to see for themselves what exactly was so funny about the historical goofs and gaffes of this agency's most confidential overseas operations.' Added Panetta, 'Never before has so much laughter been brought to light.' Panetta pointed out several 'rib-tickling gags' relating to the 1973 Chilean coup, the Iran-Contra Affair, and the rise of crack cocaine, all of which had their punch lines blacked-out when originally published. He also made mention of a 1962 joke that only became comprehensible once the names in the story were revealed: In it, CIA agents are brainwashing Lee Harvey Oswald to turn him into an assassin. The first agent, who wears a JFK mask, is beating Oswald in the face and counting out his punches, 'One-two! One-two!' A second agent, playing the 'good cop' role, enters the room with a cup of coffee and, without thinking, asks Oswald, 'Would you like one, too?' Oswald shrieks in terror, and the project is delayed for months. The editors of Reader's Digest said they were 'thrilled' to finally make the estimated 3,000 pages of classified anecdotes public, calling it a victory for democracy and for people who like to laugh. 'I'll admit this one isn't very funny if you can't read the part explaining how one of the briefcases contains vital information that could have prevented the 9/11 attacks,' said editor-in-chief Peggy Northrup, referring to a previously redacted Humor in Uniform story detailing a wacky mix-up that led to hundreds of deaths. 'And sure, it's confusing to end a joke with 'it just goes to show you' when the thing we're trying to show you has been blacked-out to protect the identity of some ex-con who funneled money to several Salvadoran death squads in the 1980s.' Added Northrup, 'Actually, I still don't really get that one.' Now that the Humor in Uniform archives have been declassified, longtime readers are experiencing both chuckles and chilling insight into all the hilarious conundrums intelligence personnel have gotten themselves into during six decades of deniable operations. 'There's this great one from 1982, about the old spy and the young spy taking bribe money to a resistance leader in the desert,' subscriber Shelley Holmes said. 'It was all blacked-out except for the part where the old spy says, 'I remember when the payoffs were skinny and the dictators were fat!' It takes on new meaning now that I know the old spy, who had spent the 1970s ferrying moderate sums of CIA funds to portly South American fascists, was now handing over taxpayer-backed bearer bonds for $25 million to Osama Bin Laden, who is quite slender indeed.' Service members and intelligence personnel will likely always submit their comic musings to Reader's Digest, Panetta said, because humor is still the best way to help deep- cover specialists cope with the stress of events like the Laotian Civil War, the torture of an innocent terror suspect, or even a goofy blunder that might occur when agents attempting to influence the ongoing drug war in Mexico try to introduce Ebola into a Ciudad Jurez reservoir but accidentally capsize their canoe and instead release the deadly virus on the American side of the Rio Grande. 'I think I speak for all of us when I say I can't wait to see how that one turns out,' Panetta said. 'I'm laughing already.' 
2	WARNING: ISIS Unveils Disturbing Plan For The 4th Of July Happening All Over The United States According to recent reports, the FBI is on the defense after ISIS leaders called for violence over the Fourth of July weekend. At the beginning of week, the FBI announced that they would be setting up command centers throughout the country in preparation for potential terrorist attacks. They went on to tweet a photo of these locations, which were picked up by several ISIS twitter accounts. There is no specific, credible intelligence to indicate any threats against celebrations over the Fourth of Jukly weekend, a Department of Homeland Security official stated. However, we have seen repeatedly calls for violence over the past year by leadership and supports of ISIS against members of the military and military installations, law enforcement, the U.S. government, and the American public. These threats are always taken seriously and we continue to work with state and local law enforcement to ensure their safety. What do you think of the measures being taken by the FBI? Should we be worried? 
2	Famous Rapper Publicly Slams White Conservatives Rapper Azealia Banks is finding herself in the middle of a massive controversy after claiming that she hates fat white Americans. 23-year-old Banks shocked readers when she told Playboy magazine that she thinks of people living in middle America as these racist conservative white people who live on their farms. She also went on call worshiping Jesus Christ unnatural. The interviewer then asked Banks if she has a desire to leave the United States. I hate everything about this country, she answered. Those little teenage girls who work at Kmart and have a racist grandmathats really America. Banks has been known to speak out about race before, and after brutally insulting white people, had the nerve to ask for more respect for African Americans. Black people need reparations for building this country, and we deserve was more f***ing credit and respect, she concluded. She went on to describe the generational effects of Jim Crow and poverty and how they continue to pose societal problems today. When you rip a people from their land, from their customs, from their culturetheres still a piece of me that knows Im not supposed to be speaking English, Im not supposed to be worshipping Jesus Christ, Banks explained. What do you think of Banks comments? Is she the racist one?

Bizpac Review Trump needs our support. Do you hate Steven Tyler as much as we do? 
2	The Obamas: Weve Been Racially Mistreated Despite their position in the White House, Barack and Michelle Obama have been known to describe the racial hardships they have had to face. Time and time again, theyve used public speaking engagements to offer their views on racial bias in Amereica. Barack Obama was a black man that lived on the South Side of Chicago, who had his share of troubles catching cabs, Michelle told People magazine in an interview. She went on to describe a particular instance when Barack was wearing a tuxedo at a black-tie dinner and was asked to bring coffee to a guest. President Obama himself has described incidents of being mistaken for the helpmore specifically, a valet. Theres no black male my age, whos a professional, who hasnt come out of a restaurant and is waiting for their car and somebody didnt hand them their car keys, Obama said in an interview. Even as the first lady, during the wonderfully publicized trip I took to target, not highly disguised, the only person who came up to me in the store was a woman who asked me to help her take something off a shelf, Michelle told People, concluding that such instances are the regular course of life for African-Americans in the United States. What do you think of the Obamas stories of racial intolerance? 
1	Describing the atmosphere as the most daunting they have ever encountered, Clippers players expressed their utter terror and panic Tuesday night upon taking the floor against the Thunder and discovering every spectator in the arena wearing the same white T-shirt. When I first saw that sea of white shirts out there, I just remember thinking, Oh my God, what have we gotten ourselves into here? said Clippers center DeAndre Jordan, noting that he and his teammates were absolutely crippled with fear after realizing the T-shirts worn by the Oklahoma City fans were not only the same color, but also had the same Thunder logo printed on the front. Then they all started chanting De-fense! De-fense! while we had the ball, and we just didnt know what to do. Weve played in hostile environments before, but thatI dont ever want to face that again. Following his teams loss, Clippers head coach Doc Rivers admitted to reporters that his players simply couldnt overcome the fans wild cheers when the phrase Lets Get Loud! was displayed on the arenas Jumbotron. 
2	After Screams Of Racism Over Gorilla Being Shot For A White Kid Meet His Parents The Daily Mail recently revealed Facebook photos of the couple who they reported as the parents of the inquisitive little four-year-old boy who fell into the gorilla habitat on Saturday. The incident resulted in the shooting death of the gorilla in order to save the childs life. This happened at the Cincinnati Zoo, and one the zoo-goers captured a video of the boys struggle with the gorilla. Liberals and Black Lives Matter activists were quick to go to social media to call the shooting of the gorilla an act of racism. How? Apparently it is racist to kill a gorilla to save a white kid. The boys mother thanked everyone on her Facebook page for their prayers. I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers today. What started off as a wonderful day turned into a scary one. For those of you that have seen the news or been on social media that was my son that fell in the gorilla exhibit at the zoo, Michelle Gregg wrote. God protected my child until the authorities were able to get to him. My son is safe and was able to walk away with a concussion and a few scrapes no broken bones or internal injuries. As a society we are quick to judge how a parent could take their eyes off of their child and if anyone knows me I keep a tight watch on my kids, Gregg continued. Accidents happen but I am thankful that the right people were in the right place today. Thank you to everyone that helped me and my son today and most importantly God for being the awesome God that He is. Apparently, race baiters didnt even bother to check the race of the boy involved before playing the race card. As it turned out, both parents of the boy are African-American. It is simply hard to determine the race of the child in the video. Michelle Gregg has three additional children by father Deonne Dickerson. Dickerson reportedly has a length criminal record that stretches back more than a decade. His sheet includes burglary, firearm violations, drug trafficking, criminal trespass, disorderly conduct and kidnapping. It appears that he has turned his life around. According to The Daily Mail, the majority of his social media posts are updates of his children and his job. What do you think of ridiculous claims that this was an issue of race? 
1	Although many of its highways and bridges are in severe disrepair, the traditionally undemanding state of Minnesota isn't comfortable asking for more interstate funding, sources reported Monday. 'Oh, we wouldn't want to bother the U.S. governmentthey've got more than enough on their plate as it is,' Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty said. 'Most of the potholes on I-90 are less than four feet wide. We get by just fine. I wouldn't want anyone all the way over there in Washington to be worrying about little ol' us.' According to U.S. Department of Transportation records, Minnesota has not requested an increase in highway funds for 10 years, in spite of the fact that the majority of their roads are plagued by rutted or uneven surfaces, cracked pavement, potholes, and other deterioration. 'If it were a life or death situation, you can bet your bippy we'd ask for it, but since it isn't...' Pawlenty said. 'Well, we can make do with the transportation-department budget they decided to give us back in 1995. That was more than generous.' But U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta said Minnesota's highway system is 'dangerously underfunded.' 'Nearly 20 percent of Minnesota's highway lights are not working, and Highway 280 seems to be held together with equal parts concrete and prayer,' Mineta said. 'We tried to slip them a few dollars along with the National Bridge Inspection Standards Act, but they told us to put the money right back into our wallets, or give it to someone who could really use it, like Arizona.' Mineta said that, even after he explained that he couldn't simply give the money to another state, Minnesota reaffirmed that it was determined to stretch what federal dollars it had. 'They kept saying, 'Oh, you guys keep that budget allocation,'' Mineta said. 'But everyone likes Minnesota and would love to help them out. They never ask for anything, unlike New York, which seems to be in some kind of crisis every other week.' Joshua Bolten, U.S. Director of the Office of Management and Budget, said the national government 'guilted' Minnesota into accepting some money to fund a child-safety-seat program three years ago, by repeatedly urging them to 'think of the children.' 'After all it took to get them to take the money, they wouldn't stop thanking us,' Bolten said. 'The following day, Minnesota congressmen kept dropping by with cakes and cookies. I mean, the hand-stitched quilt Rep. Mark Kennedy (R-MN) made was beautiful, but a gift was really, really unnecessary.' Most Minnesota residents support their governor's decision to do without increased federal funding. In fact, citizens have been holding rummage sales and donating their time so that they won't have to inconvenience the rest of the country. 'We don't want to be a bother,' said Brian Calhoun, a restaurant owner who spent last weekend fixing highway safety rails in his hometown of St. Cloud. 'There are a lot of folks around here who know the value of a little bit of elbow grease. Duluth said it has some scrap metal we might be able to melt down to make some lamp poles.' Although the majority of Minnesota residents agree that they can 'make do,' a few have disagreed. 'This is stupid,' said Tom Suttcliffe, a recent transplant to Minneapolis. 'We need more snow plowseverybody knows it. I'm sorry, but I don't think having people agree to shovel the street in front of their houses is the answer. Shit, if everyone else is too embarrassed to ask for the money, I'll do it. Who do I call?' Later that day, Minnesota officials gave Suttcliffe a 'stern talking to,' and the Boston native said he would not speak out of turn again. In spite of the state's congenial nature, federal officials say they are 'exasperated' by Minnesota's selflessness. 'Minnesota should just take the spending money, already,' Department of Education Undersecretary Edward McPherson said. 'It's not like it's a special handoutall schools were allocated extra money under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. But they refuse to accept their extra federal funding on the grounds that their schools 'don't need to be fancy.'' 'Frankly, they're just being stubborn and I'm not going to stand for it any longer,' McPherson said. 'They're gonna get some more funding by the end of the year if the federal government has to airdrop in school lunches and forcibly place new teachers in the classrooms with the help of the National Guard.'

If youre driving and have a really important text to send, thats okay; just try to keep one eye on the road as best you can, NTSB chairman Deborah Hersman said of the report, which advocates a new 50-50 rule for texting drivers, suggesting they keep half their attention on the road and half on their handheld device. After all, you can always steer with your knees orif you really want to be extra carefultext with one hand and hold the wheel with the other. Better yet, just ask a passenger to give you a heads-up whenever theres a red light or another car up ahead. Hersman added that the reports findings apply not only to texting, but also to checking email, playing games, or watching movies while driving. 
2	Muslim Official Calls Out Obama For Visiting Radical Mosque [VIDEO] As you have probably heard by now, President Barack Obama recently made the controversial decision to visit a U.S. mosque. But he didnt choose just any mosque to mark his first official visit as a president. The Islamic Society of Baltimore was once run by Mohamad Adam El-Sheikh, who is known for his ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. According to Fox News, El-Sheikh was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan, [who] moved to the U.S. In 1978 and went on to receive several advanced law degrees as he became involved in the religious community. El-Sheikh also served as regional director of the Islamic American Relief Agency. El-Sheikh has also been connected to the Virginia mosque where Anwar al-Awlaki used to preach. Al-Awlaki was an American who eventually joined al Qaeda and began recruiting for the terrorist organization. He ended up becoming a top al Qaeda operative, until he was ultimately killed in an American drone strike in Yemen in 2011. Needless to say, Obamas choice is stirring controversy throughout the country. As a Muslim American Im just insulted, this is disgraceful that this is one of the mosquesor the mosquethat hes chosen to visit, Zudhi Jasser of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy told Fox News. This mosque is very concerning. According to the Washington Post, El-Sheikh once claimed that Islamic law allows for suicide bombings if certain Muslims are to be cornered where they cannot defend themselves, except through these kinds of means, and their local religious leaders issued fatwas to permit that, then it becomes acceptable as an exceptional rule, but should not be taken as a principle. What do you think? Is this an oversight on Obamas part or does it reveal a deeper connection to the Muslim Brotherhood?

2	McDonalds Becomes First To Integrate Christianity Into Every Restaurant McDonalds became the first fast-food chain to openly endorse Christianity. With liberals across the country trying to suppress Christianity, this is truly an amazing gesture. Many McDonalds stores have painted nativity scenes on their window. Next to the scene are the words, His Name Is Jesus, and Rejoice. People across the nation are especially happy that Christ has been included in the celebration of Christmas. Many people have come to disconnect the two. Do you think this is an awesome gesture by McDonalds? 
3	FBI Seeks To Keep Its Nationwide Biometric Database A Secret From CitizensBy Nicholas West With only dedicated civil liberties advocates trying to bring attention to the threat, the system quickly amassed more than 50 million images scoured from facial recognition alone and, as reported by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, merged into the FBIs legacy database of fingerprints and other identifiers to create a centralized hub of surveillance: NGI builds on the FBIs legacy fingerprint databasewhich already contains well over 100 million individual recordsand has been designed to include multiple forms of biometric data, including palm prints and iris scans in addition to fingerprints and face recognition data. NGI combines all these forms of data in each individuals file, linking them to personal and biographic data like name, home address, ID number, immigration status, age, race, etc. This immense database is shared with other federal agencies and with the approximately 18,000 tribal, state and local law enforcement agencies across the United States. (Source) Over the ensuing years, the prevalence of biometrics has only increased in everything from banking, to drones, to student IDs, to facial recognition billboards in public space, to voice recognition security. At this point it is unclear just how many biometric images might be stored in the database now that there are even more sources from which to cull data. And the FBI is would like to keep it that way. Apparently, the tired trope of National Security is once again being peddled to legitimize secrecy and violating civil liberties. Similar to the no-fly list, where people have no idea if they are on it; or, if so, how to get off it, the FBI is proposing that citizens who have had their biometric data collected might not be entitled to know anything about it: Letting individuals view their own records, or even the accounting of those records, could compromise criminal investigations or national security efforts,potentially revealing a sensitive investigative technique or information that could help a subject avoid detection or apprehension, the draft posting said. (Source) Worst of all, since its inception the FBI has admitted that the system includes non-criminal identification as well as criminal. In short, anything not covered above most assuredly will be once biometrics itself spreads into every area of human life. And for those who might still be inclined to believe that this will only be used when national security truly is threatened, it would be wise to remember how anti-terror technologies trickle down to the lowliest of crimes and beyond like using Stingray cell phone surveillance to catch a $50 chicken wing thief. But perhaps most concerning of all is the admission that the collected data will be put on the shelf for future analysis in order to establish potential connections. Considering how the web of human interaction can lead to narrowing the degrees of separation between any two individuals, this is almost guaranteed to ensnare the completely innocent: With time, seemingly irrelevant or untimely information may acquire new significance when new details are brought to light,the posting said. Information contained in the database could help with establishing patterns of activity and providing criminal lead. Lets not forget that it was these so-called patterns of activity which led a large percentage of innocent people to be swept up into the post-9/11 torture apparatus which is still being justified as a necessary National Security measure. Under this reasoning, nearly everyone could be detained in reality, or virtually as a possible suspect in a possible future crime. More attention needs to be given to this incredible slide toward a technocratic system of being guilty until proven innocent, completely upturning all protections supposed to be guaranteed to each American. According to NextGov this proposal will be open for public comment for one month after its officially posted. The fact that a system which has been years, possibly decades, in the making should offer citizens a mere month to weigh in should say enough about what we are dealing with. Please follow NextGov, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, EPIC, and selfnews Post for the latest, as civil liberties advocates attempt to demand that this system is fully revealed to the public. Share this information with friends and family to ensure that we have the best chance possible at resisting this digital tyranny.

2	Obama Declares Islam As Americas Religion Throughout the course of his presidency, President Barack Obama has tried to assert that he is a Christian man. Time and time again, his claims have been tested by actions that demonstrate that his loyalties clearly lie elsewhere. That was confirmed at the National Prayer Breakfast, where Obama called Islam an American religion. We are summoned to push back against those who would distort our religion for their nihilistic ends, Obama commented during the event. He went on to single out the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria, referring to the militants as a death cult. He also discussed the recent attacks in Paris and the assault on a school in Pakistan. Its clear that Obama still refuses to acknowledge the threat facing our country today. By the time he sees the light, it is almost certainly going to be too late. What do you think? Do we need a real leader in the White House?

'At this point in my career, it's encouraging to see that Devin808 would still tap my ass if he had the chance, and I was flattered when HandyMan14 said that, even though I'm not as hot now as I was in High Fidelity, he definitely wouldn't mind tearing me apart until I could barely walk,' a smiling Zeta-Jones said. 'CowboysFan93 was really specific about how he'd like to choke me with his cock, which, as an actress now in her 40s, really brightened my day.' At press time, Zeta-Jones' husband Michael Douglas was reportedly searching for any type of Internet comment speculating on the size of his penis.

In an epic yet horrific turn of events, Time is strongly considering the Ferguson protesters, activists that thrive on violence and chaos, for the Time Person of the Year award why would Time even consider them? Is this the example we want to set? Even though they are only being considered, to put them in the same category as the pope and JFK, is outrageous, and to encourage theyre behavior and reward them for causing turmoil and anarchy.

1	After Monday night's game against the Florida Marlins, several of Chase Utley's Phillies teammates told reporters that the All-Star second baseman might be growing 'obsessed' with stretching properly and singing in key during the seventh-inning stretch. 'He insists that if you don't stretch every major muscle group at that exact moment in time, you risk pulling something,' said shortstop Jimmy Rollins, who claimed Utley often forces the entire team to re-sing 'Take Me Out to The Ballgame' if they don't perform the song in correct four-part harmony the first time. 'Give me a break, man. I don't always feel like eating Cracker Jacks in the middle of a game.' Rollins added that he was looking forward to Thursday's game, when he plans to finally inform Utley that the 'noise meter' on the Citizens Bank Park JumboTron is not real. 
3	The False Economic Recovery Narrative Will Die In 2017By Brandon Smith The banking elites have done the job they set out to do, which was to drive the economy to the very edge of the financial cliff, and then keep it suspended there until the general public became comfortable living next door to the abyss. Why do this? Well, the greater dynamic at play here is something the average person will not understand or refuses to examine economics today is about mass psychology. The economy is a tool, or a weapon, by which international financiers can influence the public mind and the emotions of the mob. In order to grasp the mechanics of economics it is not enough to deal in statistics and trade principles; one must also grasp human behavior and how it is manipulated. One must acknowledge that in economics we witness the transmutation of societies by word and by force, by chaos and by order. Economics is alchemy. The globalists (in their twisted view) seek to change lead into gold, and just as in alchemy, these elements are a metaphor for psychological evolution. For the globalists, social engineering is a form of witchcraft; they see it as creation, or a grand form of architecture. But it is not creation. The globalists are incapable of such art because true art requires wisdom and empathy. All they know is how to deconstruct existing systems generated by nature and free men and rearrange the shattered pieces into something more oppressive and ultimately less interesting than what existed before. Give the internationalists a Mona Lisa and they will shred it, reconstitute it and regurgitate a paint by numbers coloring book. The globalists only know how to turn gold into lead. If you do not understand the reality of globalist influence in markets and the nature of economics as a weapon; if you actually believe that the economy operates purely on some kind of free-roaming free market principles, then you will never be able to wrap your head around the otherwise absurd behavior of our financial structure. The psychology of fiscal recovery is a vital tool for change and for developing false dichotomies. For example, I recently came across this article from the pervasive propaganda hub of Bloomberg. In it, Bloomberg outlines a story we are by now very used to hearing from the mainstream that the presidential era of Barack Obama has left the economy of the U.S. in particular in far better shape as he leaves office than when he entered office. Now, anyone who has been reading my analysis for at least the past six months (if not the past ten years) knows exactly what I think about the current state of the economy and what is likely to happen in the near future. For those new to my position, here is a very quick summary along with linked evidence supporting my claims: From the 1990s leading into the year 2007, the Federal Reserve engineered a massive debt and derivatives bubble through the use of artificially low interest rates in the housing market. Alan Greenspan, the presiding Fed chairman at the time, openly admitted in interviews that the central bank KNEW an irrational bubble had formed, but claims they assumed the negative factors would wash out. This is a constant meme set forward by the Fed that they were essentially too stupid to foresee a collapse of the bubble they knew they had created. They prefer that the public believes that the Fed was incompetent rather than deliberately destructive. The low rates fueled a machine of mortgage backed securities and derivatives based on trillions of dollars in loans to people that had no ability or no intention of ever paying them back. The Fed had aid in this program from the ratings agencies, which labeled obviously toxic debt as AAA for years, and the SEC, which refused to investigate any legitimate claims of asset manipulation and ill intent. This corrupt behavior on the part of the SEC was showcased in the testimony of SEC whistle blower Gary J. Aguirre, who warned of dangerous debt pools and manipulation within the banking industry in 2006 before the derivatives collapse and also warned that the SEC interfered with any investigation attempts into the problem. This led to the well known Great Recession triggered in 2007/2008. The Fed along with numerous other central banks around the world had conjured a crisis and then offered their own solution to that crisis. Namely, the solution of massive fiat stimulus programs purchasing toxic debt, treasury bonds, corporate stocks and anything else that wasnt nailed down. The bailouts and quantitative easing projects, however, were actually cover for a far larger program of untold trillions in overnight loans to corporations, domestic and foreign. A never-ending river of dollars created out of thin air and pumped into companies for near zero interest. It was these free overnight loans that allowed international conglomerates to sidestep the monstrous black hole of derivatives debt they were circling and purchase their own stocks through stock buybacks, thus reducing the number of existing stocks on the exchanges and artificially boosting the price of the remaining stocks. This caused stock markets to skyrocket from near death to historic highs. In the meantime, government bureaucracy has worked tirelessly to manipulate statistics to falsely reflect an overall recovery. The stock market is much easier to manipulate than the fundamentals, so, the fundamentals must be misrepresented. While some numbers slip through the cracks and issues of true supply and demand continue, the vast majority of the populace has little clue that the collapse of 2008 never actually stopped, it was just shifted into a state of slow motion. The Feds low interest rates, specifically on overnight loans, has allowed the economy to sputter along for eight years, and has greatly enriched the top .01% in the process. But now, their strategy is changing. The problem is that stimulus has a shelf life, and while certain stats can be skewed and the stock market can be inflated for a time, eventually, consequences must be accepted in the real economy for attempting to defy gravity for so long. The initial collapse was designed to foster an even greater event. Without the derivatives bubble, the central bankers never could have convinced the masses to accept the idea of a fiat stimulus bubble which would eventually put the dollar at risk, along with the overall U.S economy. Taking the brunt of the 2008 crash would have been painful, but not insurmountable. But with eight more years and tens of trillions in added debt along with increased geopolitical tensions and an equities bubble for the ages, the scale of the final stage of collapse will be truly unprecedented. The purpose of this final event will be to generate so much chaos and desperation that the public will be compelled to search for extraordinary solutions. The globalists will be ready with those solutions, including those they have openly outlined decades in advance in publications like The Economist. The end game? The formation of a single monetary and economic authority under the management of the International Monetary Fund, and the establishment of a single global currency using the IMFs Special Drawing Rights as a bridge for locking national currencies into a harmonized exchange rate until they eventually become pointless, interchangeable and replaceable. The problem is, the globalists cannot possibly initiate this end game in a vacuum, otherwise, they would take the blame for the inevitable collateral damage to peoples lives as their great global reset is undertaken. The globalists need a scapegoat. Enter Donald Trump, the Brexit Referendum, and the rise of populist movements. For the entire first half of 2016, globalists were warning non-stop that a rise in populism (conservatives and sovereignty champions) would result in international financial catastrophe. It was as if they KNEW that the Brexit would succeed and that Donald Trump would win the election This has been my position for the past half year that globalists were planning to allow conservative and sovereignty movements to take the reigns of power, that they would allow the passage of the Brexit and the rise of Trump, just before they pull the plug on the systems life support. The Federal Reserve in particular has already launched the final phase by beginning a series of rate hikes which will remove the safety net of free and cheap overnight loans to companies, thereby sabotaging equities markets. I specifically warned about this over a year ago when most analysts were stating that negative rates and QE4 were just around the corner. And this is where we are today. As noted above, Bloomberg writes an interesting bit of propaganda starting with a bit of truth. Heres the beginning quote from their article: Research suggests factors beyond the control of any U.S. president, not their actual policies, set the course of the economy. Yet with voters, President-Elect Donald Trump will secure much of the praise or blame when it comes to the impact of his agenda over the next four years. The recovery narrative from 2008 to today was imperative to the globalists greater agenda. For a considerable portion of the public must be made to believe that under a socialist and decidedly globalist president (Barack Obama) the general trend in the economy was positive and that things were getting better. The rise of conservative movements today sets the stage for the final collapse and the IMFs great reset, in which conservatives and sovereignty activists will be blamed, whether there is any evidence of culpability or not, for the crash that the globalists have spent the better part of two decades setting in motion. After the dust has settled, the argument will be that the world was on course before the Brexit, before Trump and before populism. The argument will be that globalism was working and conservatives screwed it up with their selfish nationalist endeavors. After the final crash and perhaps numerous deaths from poverty and violence, the argument will be that the only conceivable solution must be a return to globalism in an extreme form; or total global centralization, so that such a tragedy will never happen again. Bloomberg helps to set up the scenario, by claiming that Trump is inheriting a stable and improving economy compared to the economy that Barack Obama inherited: While todays economy is a mixed bag by historical standards, one thing is clear: Obama has left Trump a 2016 economy in a better state, by many measures, than when he was first elected president in 2008 in the middle of the worst downturn since the Great Depression. Of course, Bloomberg fails to mention that the standards and statistics by which they measure economic improvement are entirely fraudulent. For example, real GDP is at -2 percent, not +2 percent as Bloomberg claims, when one calculates for distortions such as government spending, which is counted towards GDP even though government does not actually produce anything. Government can only steal productivity from citizens and reassign that wealth elsewhere. Bloomberg also cites a vastly improved unemployment rate. They once again refuse to bring up the fact that over 95 MILLION Americans are no longer counted as unemployed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics because they have been jobless for so long they do not qualify to be included on the rolls. This lie of reduced unemployment has been pervasive through the entirety of the Obama Administration. Bloomberg then mentions a greatly improved housing market that Trump will enjoy when he takes office. They certainly do not include the fact that pending home sales are now plummeting and home ownership rates in the U.S. are so low you have to go back to 1965 to match them. They do not mention that the majority of the boost in home sales during Obamas two terms was due to corporations like Blackstone buying up distressed mortgages and turning the homes into rentals. The housing market is NOT being supported by individuals and families seeking home ownership, but corporations snatching up real estate on the cheap and driving up prices. Wall Street is now Americas landlord. And there you have it. The globalist setup continues with mainstream outlets telling Americans that the economy is in ascension as Trump and populists move into positions of power, when in truth the economy is as dire as it ever was if not worse off. To add to the theater, Donald Trump has ventured to take credit for the sharp rise in stocks and the impression of improving economic stats. In one of his latest tweets just after Christmas, he had this to say: The world was gloomy before I won there was no hope. Now the market is up nearly 10% and Christmas spending is over a trillion dollars! Now, if you know anything about the true fiscal situation, you would think this statement is a severely idiotic move by Trump. No incoming president with any sense would try to take credit for the largest equities bubble in history. But, take credit is essentially what he did. That said, if you ALSO understand that the globalist narrative is engineered so that conservatives take the blame for the coming crash, AND if you believe that Trump is knowingly participating in this narrative (as I now do after he lied about draining the swamp and front loaded his cabinet with banking elites), then Trumps statement makes perfect sense. Trump is playing the role of a future bumbling villain, the populist maniac who gets too big for his britches and brings disaster down on peoples heads. The false recovery narrative will indeed die in 2017, and it will be because the globalists WANT it to die while nationalists are at the helm. This is perhaps the biggest con game in recent history; with conservatives as the fall guy and the rest of the public as the gullible mark.

Anyone following The Black Manchurian Candidates 8 years of sabotage is going to end-up as a Herbert Hoover. But Trumps a Hoover whos great at economics, and a workaholic who wants our country to recover and live to our potential. Havent had that in at least 30 years. Im optimistic, which is rare. Well if this matter is true, the real left was not entramped but the populist right. This leaves room for real socialism, democratic or not. Go blow Obunghole while hes still in da hood, homie.

Thin-skinned doosh-face. The passing of BREXIT and the election of Trump were close. That BREXIT will actually occur and Trump be allowed to be president are nor forgone conclusions. I think the globalists were having a bet both ways, and will attempt to make sure that BREXIT and Trump will fail. But I do not think that they understood the rise of Islamic influence, and that it can be used as an enemy to mobilies the world on a war footing. The globalists may still maintain their power and financial security, but people such as George Soros and Angela Merkel are will cards not understood by US-based globalists who stlll have a disrespect for European money that is much older than theirs.

In fact, millions of patriots were outraged that the organization would let a Clinton-supporting, anti-police advocate perform at the event. Country star Kenny Chesney did not even attempt to mask his anger. The IJ Review quickly pointed out that Chesney looked unimpressed through the whole performance, and one viewer was even able to capture it on film. In case you missed it, watch the clip below: Erick Fernandez (@ErickFernandez) November 3, 2016 Chesney was honored last night with the Pinnacle Award, in recognition of his contributions to country music.

2	Kentucky Overrides Obamas Gun Control Laws According to recent reports, Kentucky State Rep. Kenny Imes has just introduced legislation that rules President Obamas executive gun control orders null and void within the state. House Bill 236 is designed to highlight the constitutional protections on the power of the people, and categorically lists the constitutional limitations on the powers of Congress and the President. The bill reads as follows: Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States specifies the powers of the Congress of the United States. Those powers do not include impairing the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States or any other amendment to the Constitution of the United States that guarantees rights to the people or to a state; Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution of the United States specifies the powers of the President of the United States. That section does not authorize the President of the United States to violate the Constitution of the United States or the amendments to the Constitution of the United States. HB 236 then goes on to reference the 10th Amendment, demonstrating that all powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. Obamas executive actions obviously represent an overreach of the federal governmentregarding our Second Amendment rightsand its just totally insane to even be pushing this, Imes told reporters at Breitbart. The Second Amendment is very plain. I think anyone can understand it. What do you think? Do you support the measure?

They picked up where they left off last summer. Major grievances remain unaddressed. They include: In Shapira, Levinsky, Hatikva, and other neighborhoods, marches converged on Tel Avivs Rabin Square. Demonstrators chanted: We want justice, not charity. Taking from the poor, giving to the rich, what a country of corruption. Over 20% of Israels population is poor. In a nation of 7.9 million, over 850,000 children live in poverty. More than two-thirds of them lack nutritional security. Around 75% miss meals. Over 80% lack proper dental care. Some beg, borrow or steal to eat. Since the 1990s, neoliberal harshness significantly increased poverty, unemployment, homelessness, and hunger. Housing is a major problem. Tel Aviv apartment prices have doubled in recent years. In Jerusalem they increased nearly two-thirds. Rents also skyrocketed. Growing numbers of Israelis face intolerable burdens too great to bear. Last summer they reacted. Netanyahu promised change. Betrayal followed. On Saturday, Israelis reacted. Tel Aviv rally organizer Orli Barlev said thatThe message is one against the political system that does not count the citizens. Referring to Israels heavily criticized Fatah/Kadina unity government deal, she added:What we saw this week were moves that resulted from personal interests of power and control. This government has greatly deepened social gaps. Nothing is done to address them. Social inequality festers. Anger has filled Israeli cities. Rallies were held in Jerusalem, Haifa, Kiryat Shmona, Nahriya, Pardes Hanna, and Eilat (as well as the largest one in Tel Aviv) under the banner: Returning the country to the citizens. Similar protests were held worldwide. Global May commemorated the anniversary of Madrids 2011 mass Puerta del Sol square social justice rally. It inspired others across Europe and America that followed. This years theme is We are not alone. Last summers Israeli campaign waned but didnt die. Organizing efforts sought more participants. Peoples Assemblies were formed. A manifesto was written, stating: We are living in a world controlled by forces incapable of giving freedom and dignity to the worlds population. (We) condemn the current distribution of economic resources whereby only a tiny minority escape poverty and insecurity. We demand an economic system where labour is appreciated by its social utility, not its financial or commercial profit. Fully democratic rights were called for. Last summers protests swept Israel. Hundreds of thousands participated. Rallies and tent encampments drew world attention. Saturday perhaps launched Act II. A recent global Gallup poll ranked perceived Israeli corruption on par with Greece, Slovenia and Sierra Leone. It scored worst among Middle East countries. Around 85% of respondents said Israeli business is corrupt. Israel replicates the worst of major Western nations. The greater social injustice gets, the more most Israelis suffer. Now theyre reacting. They want more than social justice. Serious issues fester. Since last summer, protests became more common. Where things go from here remains unknown. Sustained critical mass is needed. So far its absent. On Saturday, youth participation was high. All the (political) parties have failed, said one speaker. Police were out in force, this time nonviolently. Days earlier they reacted harshly. About 1,000 Israelis protested against the Fatah/Kadima unity deal. A stinking maneuver, they called it. Early elections were cancelled. Democracy was nowhere in sight. Israel, of course, has none. Police accosted Habima Square demonstrators brutally. Arrests followed, including two journalists. Social activists were detained. So was Tel Aviv city councilman Yoav Goldring. Police called the rally illegal. Israelis were treated like Palestinians. More demonstrations are planned. Organizers hope for a July 14 March of the Million. Expect a long hot summer. Habima Square police brutality may become commonplace. Who knows whats possible before fall. Perhaps Israelis will identify more with Palestinian suffering. That type unity would be significant. Palestinian Prison Protests for Justice Continue Major issues remain unresolved. On May 11, hunger strike leaders issued Statement No. 5, saying: To the masses of the Palestinian people.you are free before our nationyou are free before the world. We have held a lengthy meeting with the leadership of the Prison Services in Nafha prison last night, including all members of the Central Committee of the Leadership of the Strike. The Prison Service attempted through prevarication and procrastination to pressure us to break the strike with unverifiable promises. Prisoners have unequivocal demands. Unity to continue struggling remains strong. We call on the masses of our people and our nation to act supportively. We promise again that we will not retreat without securing our just human rights. We are all willing to be martyrs for the sake of our dignity and our rights, and therefore we promise that will will live (in) dignity or die. Growing Palestinian street protests show support. selfnewss call the strike pivotal. It reflects the wider liberation struggle. Its a rallying position across Palestine. Whether a third Intifada follows remains unknown. On May 11, thousands of Palestinians rallied supportively in West Bank villages. Under the slogan Friday Anger: Victory for the Prisoners, Israeli security forces confronted them violently. Tear gas, sound bombs, rubber bullets, and water cannon fired skunk spray were used. It contains harmful chemicals. Beatings, injuries and arrests followed. Israeli Arabs participated supportively. Thousands of Galilee residents displayed prisoner photos and Palestinian flags. They chanted slogans voicing solidarity and demanding liberation from Israeli prisons. Haifa, Umm al-Fahm, and Kfar Kana youths began a three-day supportive hunger strike. selfnewss and political groups on both sides of the Green Line voiced support. Hadash, Balad, National Union, the Palestinian Peoples Party, Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and others endorsed a public statement, saying: The immediate demand to the Israeli government is the release of all administrative detainees, and all prisoners, those on hunger strikes and those who arent. Theyre all political prisoners locked in Israels gulag for wanting to live free on their own land. The manifesto added: Also, we are calling for the end of the policy of administrative detention, as a method for arrest without trial, based on secret evidence not shared with prisoners or lawyers. This policy is not in line with basic standards of justice. The statement pointedly accused the Israel Prison Service (IPS) of ignoring longtime prisoner demands to end extreme harshness. It also said the hunger strike reflects a national liberation struggle. In Haifa, Palestinian merchants closed shops and displayed banners saying: The shops are closed because our prisoners are in danger. Hundreds of Jerusalemites participated. Among them were prisoner families. For the second consecutive day, Palestinians blocked the ICRCs Ramallah headquarters entrance. They demand strong support. On May 10, protests outside a UN building raised the same issue. One participant said: We are targeting those who we believe can help to bring an end to the hunger strike and save the lives of our prisoners. So far, they offered little more than lip service. EU ministers do little better. Obama said nothing. On May 11, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland was silent on whats ongoing. During a briefing she was asked to comment on the strike situation. Her dismissive comment said: I dont have anything for you on that. A follow-up question asked about a State Department position on uncharged strikers, especially long-term ones close to death. She contemptuously remained dismissive, saying: ..frankly, I dont have anything one way or the other. I dont know if we have a comment on it. US contempt for Palestinian suffering is longstanding. European nations arent much better. Lip service substitutes for action. Israel commits appalling human rights abuses. Courageous hunger strikers confront them. So should everyone. Then challenge their own homegrown injustice. Otherwise it wont end.

1	With 22 slots filled in his new Sony 40-disc CD player, Overland Park restaurateur William Fedorisko still needs 18 more discs, it was learned Monday. 'I was thinking of maybe getting that five-disc Paul Simon box set. That would fill up some of those slots in a hurry,' the 43-year-old Fedorisko told reporters. 'And then, for the remaining 13 slots, maybe I'll get the You've Got Mail soundtrack, the new Eric Clapton and maybe some Sheryl Crow. But whatever I get, I'd better do it fast: That 40-disc-changing technology is just going to waste.' 
3	US-Backed Syrian Opposition Demands Support for Al QaedaTony Cartalucci, Contributor The ploy quickly fell apart however, when the US own handpicked opposition leader, Moaz al-Khatib spoke out in protest. Reuters quoted al-Khatib as saying: The decision to consider a party that is fighting the regime as a terrorist party needs to be reviewed. We might disagree with some parties and their ideas and their political and ideological vision. But we affirm that all the guns of the rebels are aimed at overthrowing the tyrannical criminal regime. Al-Khatib himself openly declares his intentions of establishing an Islamic state upon the ashes of the currently secular Syria, and has ties with the extremist Muslim Brotherhood. He was also a representative of Western big oil interests, in particular Royal Dutch Shell. Al-Khatib had worked at the al-Furat Petroleum Company for six years, according to the BBC, which is partnered with Shell Oil. Al-Khatib is also said to have lobbied for Shell in Syria between 2003-2004, and has likewise taught classes in both Europe and the United States, this according to his biography featured on his own website. Whoever knowingly provides material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization, or attempts or conspires to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 15 years, or both, and, if the death of any person results, shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for life. To violate this paragraph, a person must have knowledge that the organization is a designated terrorist organization (as defined in subsection (g)(6)), that the organization has engaged or engages in terrorist activity (as defined in section 212(a)(3)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act), or that the organization has engaged or engages in terrorism (as defined in section 140(d)(2) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989). Clearly, at the very least, the US cannot recognize such a group as the representatives of the Syrian people, nor can it support them in any manner, financial, militarily, or politically. To do so would implicate the US government itself as in violation of its own anti-terror laws. The so-called Syrian opposition has been an increasing embarrassment to the Western interests that have maliciously arrayed them against the Syrian people, as far back as 2007. And while NATO is willfully utilizing Al Qaedas own regional networks to flood terrorists into Syria, to have the leaders of their own contrived opposition front openly demand that Al Qaeda be given support and recognition gives the worlds public insight into the depths of illegitimacy from which the West is operating in pursuit of regime change in Syria.

1	Explaining how the 25-year-olds personal and academic shortcomings had made their relationship with their parents far easier, siblings Eric and Theresa Conrad confided to reporters Friday that they were quietly relieved their oldest brother, Dennis, was setting the bar so low. Dennis barely had the grades to get into the local state college and then took six years to graduate, so as long as I get in anywhere and dont drop out, Mom and Dad should be completely fine with it, said Eric, 15, whose sister confirmed how much they appreciate Dennis taking the pressure off them by living way out near the airport in a basement studio apartment he can only afford because their parents help with the rent. And considering how hes never in a relationship that lasts more than a few dates, Mom and Dad are going to be thrilled when I bring literally anyone home to meet them. Basically, all Theresa and I have to do is not be total fuckups and were golden. Sources later reported that after receiving a text message from Dennis informing them he had been fired from his job at Walgreens, the two siblings immediately went downstairs to casually slip the information into a conversation with their parents. 
2	BREAKING: Grand Jury Witness Murdered In Cold Blood in Ferguson Witness found dead after testifying in front of the Ferguson grand jury. DeAndre Joshua found dead Tuesday morning, the 20 year old was found inside a parked car two blocks away from where Michael brown was shot and killed. This is causing potential prime witnesses to refrain from speaking to law enforcement and giving their testimony, instead they dread the repercussions for speaking out in fear theyll end up like DeAndre. Knowing the Ferguson race rioters deliver on their threats, as they proved it Monday night, setting fires to cars and bring down multiple buildings, will continue to harass the people so they will continue to fear further retaliation from these rioters. Joshuas family commented, Im positive his death is tied to the demonstrations over a grand jurys decisionnot to indict Michael Brownskiller. These violent activists claim that violence is not the answer; yet they have made threats to whoever stands and testifies against them. So why do they continue to contradict what they say, with their actions of opposing the law. 
2	Hillary Clinton Just Disrespected Ole Glory In The Most SICKENING Way Possible [VIDEO] If you tuned in to the Democratic National Convention, and managed to will your way to the end, youre probably with me in concluding it was one of the worst weve seen yet. While the RNC proudly displayed the American flag, Democrats decided to highlight the Soviet flag and Palestinian flag for their first opening day. Democrats brought the American flags into the convention hall on Tuesday night, only after being publicly shamed by the media and outraged citizens. As if that werent enough, on Thursday night right after the convention, Hillary Clinton watched a flag fall and hit the floor. And she didnt do a thing about it. 
3	A Massive Electromagnetic Pulse Could Collapse The Economy In A Single MomentMichael Snyder, Contributor This could occur in a couple of different ways. If a powerful nuclear weapon was exploded at a high enough altitude, it could produce anelectromagnetic pulse powerful enough to knock out electronics all over the country. Alternatively, a massive solar storm could potentially cause a similar phenomenon to happen just about anywhere on the planet without much warning. Of course not all EMP events are created equal. Anelectromagnetic pulse can range from a minor inconvenience to a civilization-killing event. It just depends on how powerful it is. But in the worst case scenario, we could be facing a situation where our electrical grids have been fried, there is no heat for our homes, our computers dont work, the Internet does not work, our cell phones do not work, there are no more banking records, nobody can use credit cards anymore, hospitals are unable to function, nobody can pump gas, and supermarkets cannot operate because there is no power and no refrigeration. Basically, we would witness the complete and total collapse of the economy. According to a government commission that looked into these things, approximatelytwo-thirds of the U.S. population would die from starvation, disease and societal chaos within one year of a massive EMP attack. It would be a disaster unlike anything we have ever seen before in U.S. history. The US Congress in 2000 established the Congressional Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack. In 2004, the committee produced a 70-page executive summary on the EMP threat, and it issued a final report on the matter in 2008. According to the report, several potential adversaries have or can acquire the capability to attack the United States with a high-altitude nuclear weapon-generated electromagnetic pulse (EMP). A determined adversary can achieve an EMP attack capability without having a high level of sophistication. Dr. William Graham was the chairman of that commission, and he says that an EMP attack could knock the United States back into the 1800sin just a single moment An EMP attack could not only take down power grids, which are fragile anyway in this country, and telecommunications networks, and financial networks, and traffic controls and many other things, but in addition, there is a very close interrelationship among those national infrastructure capabilities, Graham says. So, for example, we need telecommunications to re-establish the power network, and we need the power network to keep telecommunications going for more than a few hours. And we need the financial network to continue to operate to maintain the economy, we need the transportation system, roads, street lights, control systems, to operate just to get people to the failed power, telecommunication and other systems, he adds. Life after an EMP attack would probably be something that you might imagine life to be like around the late 1800s but with several times the population we had in those days, and without the ability of the country to support and sustain all those people, Graham says. They wouldnt have power. Food supplies would be greatly taken out by the lack of transportation, telecommunication, power for refrigeration and so on. Unfortunately, very few of us are equipped to survive in such an environment. We have become incredibly dependent on technology, and most Americans would have no idea how to do something as simple as growing their own food. Most people would be in a very serious amount of trouble in a very short period of time. An article by Mac Slavo detailed some of the things that we could expect in the aftermath of a massive electromagnetic pulse The first 24 48 hours after such anoccurrencewill lead to confusionamongthe general population as traditional news acquisition sources like television, radio and cell phone networks will be non-functional. Within a matter of days, once people realize the power might not be coming back on and grocery store shelves start emptying, the entire system will begin to delve into chaos. Are you prepared for such an event? If not, why not? And actually, high altitude nuclear explosions and solar storms are not the only things that could produce sizable EMP bursts. For example, the U.S. military has developed a directed electromagnetic pulse gun that can take out all electronics within a limited area. This kind of weapon can be fired from a plane, a cruise missile or even a drone. The following is from a recent WND article A pre-programmed cruise missile not too different from a drone has been proven to be capable of blasting out an EMP-type microwave that was able to destroy personal computers and electrical systems inside a building over which it was flying. The U.S. Air Force and its contractor Boeing have created the High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile Project, or CHAMP, which was just tested over a Utah desert. Other nations such as Russia and China are busy developing similar weapons. The ability to instantly take out the electronics of the enemy would be a very powerful advantage. Even North Korea has been working on this kind of technology. According to Newsmax, it is believed that they may have tested a Super-EMP weapon back in 2009 North Koreas last round of tests, conducted in May 2009, appear to have included a super-EMP weapon, capable of emitting enough gamma rays to disable the electric power grid across most of the lower 48 states As this technology becomes more widespread, it will soon be accessible to just about everyone. You dont actually need a nuclear weapon to set off a massive electromagnetic pulse. A non-nuclear pulse generator can do the same thing. If you set one off next to a power station you could potentially take out the electrical grid for an entire region. Terrorist groups and lone wolf crazies could even use portable radio frequency weapons to do a tremendous amount of electromagnetic damage over a more limited area. The following is from a recent article by F. Michael Maloof Such an individual with a penchant for electronics can pull together components from a Radio Shack or electronic store even order the components off of selected Internet websites and fashion a radio frequency, or RF, weapon. As microprocessors become smaller but more sophisticated, they are even more susceptible to an RF pulse. The high power microwave from an RF weapon produces a short, very high power pulse, said to be billions of watts in a nanosecond, or billionths of a second. This so-called burst of electromagnetic waves in the gigahertz microwave frequency band can melt electrical circuitry and damage integrated circuits, causing them to fail. Constructing a radio frequency weapon is not that difficult. In fact, you can find instructions for how to build them on the Internet. People need to realize that we live in a world where technology is absolutely exploding and we are dealing with threats that previous generations never even dreamed of. As the world becomes increasingly unstable, it is inevitable that these kinds of weapons will be used. It is only a matter of time. What will life look like after an EMP weapon is used? That is something to think about. And we also need to keep watching the sun. It could produce a massive electromagnetic pulse at literally any moment. As I have written about previously, scientists tell us that it is only a matter of time before we are hit with a technology-crippling solar super storm. Most people dont even realize that the massive solar storm of 1859 fried telegraph machines all over Europe and North America. If such a storm hit us today, the damage would potentially be in the trillions of dollars. The following is from a recent New York Times article A powerful solar (or geomagnetic) storm has the potential to simultaneously damage multiple transformers in the electricity grid and perhaps even bring down large sections of it, affecting upwards of a hundred million people in the United States for many months, if not years. These huge transformers are expensive and difficult to replace, and not many are stockpiled in the United States for an emergency. In the worst case, the impact would be devastating: An outage could cost a few trillion dollars, with full recovery taking years. Not only would parts of the grid be compromised, but telephone networks, undersea cables, satellites and railroads also would be affected. A 2008 National Academy of Sciences study warned that because of the interconnectedness of critical infrastructures in modern society, the collateral effects of a longer-term outage would likely include disruption of the transportation, communication, banking and finance systems, and government services; the breakdown of the distribution of potable water owing to pump failure; and the loss of perishable foods and medications because of lack of refrigeration. By the way, 2013 is the peak of the current solar cycle. So we are moving into a time period when conditions will be very favorable for solar storms. Let us hope that we are never hit with a massive electromagnetic pulse that is strong enough to take out all of our electronics. But if it did happen, and all the lights went out for good, what would you do?

Hell float around in his little pool for hours, just having the time of his life,' the 52-year-old DeCarlo said. But when I drop in his four pellets of turtle food, he cuts the bullshit and gets right on task. He homes in on the food like a fucking laser, as if the whole universe had been reduced to nothing but him and those pellets. Then, when hes all done, just as suddenly as he stopped, he goes right back to Beeper fun time.

2	Couple Forced To Close Their Bakery After Refusing Gay Couple, Now Theyre Getting An Amazing Surprise Aaron and Mellissa Klein, the Christian bakers who were forced to close their bakeshop after refusing to make a wedding cake for a lesbian couple, have received public support from a very unlikely source. According to reports, Matt Stolhandske, a gay man with completely opposite views from the Kleins, has offered to donate a large sum of money to help the couple pay for the $150,000 fine they are facing today. In fact, Stolhandske even launched an online campaign to help raise funds for the couple and their bakeshop. As a gay man, I should hate Melissa and Aaron Klein, Stolhandske wrote in a Washington Post opinion piece. Im also an evangelical Christian. I cant understand why Klein or any other Christians twist the words of Jesus Christ to justify behavior. To me, its a deeply harmful and embarrassing bastardization of our faith. So why fund the Kleins? We want to begin a conversation with the Kleins and Christians around the country, Stolhandske concluded. We want to ask them to begin to use the posture of Jesus Christ as it pertains to the civil rights of gay Americans. What do you think of Stolhandskes actions? Will the Kleins accept his donation?

The world is bad enough with vast swaths of disconnected people wandering through it like techno zombies, faces constantly down in their smart phones. Its a lot like this: Go to a concert, people arent watching and listening to the actual concert while they are there: they are recording it on their smart phone instead. This lady was so busy doing something on her phone as she walked through the mall that she tripped and fell face down into a water fountain. Android Wear is a watch-like device that features Google Now. The commercial shows people literally talking to their wrists all day as the little smart watch feeds them information about every thing they are doing as they go about their daily lives. Wired is calling it Google Now for your Body. Google Now is an electronic smart personal/social assistant that, according to the Wikipedia entry on it, uses a natural language user interface to answer questions, make recommendations, and perform actions by delegating requests to a set of web services. Along with answering user-initiated queries, Google Now passively delivers information to the user that it predicts they will want, based on their search habits. You wont just be interacting with the Internet anymoreit will be interacting with you. Preemptively. In real time. Remember a few weeks back when stories came out that Google will know you better than your intimate partner? The idea (read: goal) is that computers will be so advanced within a mere 15 years, they will surpass humans and be able to literally read our minds (so says futurist and Google Director of Engineering Ray Kurzweil). As if technology hadnt invaded our lives enough by now, if this trendy new tech catches on, the Aldous Huxley phrase learn to love your servitude will take on a whole new meaning. Call me crazy, but this seems like every far-reaching implication about the potential horrors of our ever-growing surveillance state all rolled into one little high tech Dick Tracy gadget. Maybe its just because I didnt grow up in a time when everybody (even five-year-olds) had their own cell phones and we were all constantly communicating electronically with one another, but Im nostalgic for the good old days when no one and especially no robots knew me better than I knew myself. Then again, ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt, the guy who chalks the enormity of the NSA spy program down to just the nature of our society, told us this was coming back in a September 2008 interview with McKinsey Quarterly: Consider that last line when you are getting fitted for your super cool new mind reading, life tracking Google smart watch.

3	Western Media Blames Russia, Syria For Attack On UN Convoy; Video and Photos Tell Different StoryBy Brandon Turbeville Still, it is important to point out the false narratives where they do exist in order to deconstruct them as much as possible. For instance, the recent hysteria over an alleged attack on a U.N. convoy by either Syrian or Russian jets (because it couldnt have been the U.S. of course) has been used as an attempt to paint Russia and Syria as violators of a ceasefire and states so evil that they would dare attack the sacred U.N. who only ever provides food to hungry people and candy to children. Yet the entire incident, which the West is attempting to use as a political hammer, exists only through the channels and pages of Western media. In reality, however, not so much. The story being peddled to the American people is that, even as the ceasefire was still in effect (from the point of view of the United States despite the fact that its terrorists never abided by one principle or obligation of the ceasefire from the very beginning), either Russia or Syria bombed a U.N. aid convoy on its way to deliver supplies to civilians. However, further investigation reveals that the aid convoy that was destroyed and the U.N. aid convoy being presented to the American public as being the victim of the attack are two different convoys and two different incidents. The convoy that was actually attacked, a Syrian Red Crescent aid operation, was attacked outside a warehouse in Urm al-Kubra just west of Aleppo. Twenty to thirty trucks were said to be destroyed in this attack which took place shortly after the ceasefire officially ended on September, 19. However, there is no evidence to suggest that the attackers were the Syrian or Russian militaries. Instead, it is most likely Americas rebels who attacked the convoy. Still, the United States claims that, although it doesnt know which military, it is confident that the UN aid convoy was bombed by either Syria or Russia. As the Washington Post reports, We know it was an airstrike and not one from the coalition. We dont know if it was Russia or the regime, the only others flying over Syria, a senior administration official said. In either case, the Russians have a responsibility certainly to avoid doing it themselves, but also to keep restraint on the regime. But, per the usual method of accusation, the United States never explained exactly how they knew this. Where is the intelligence coming from? Are there satellite images? Anything? Russia, however, denied that its planes, or Syrian jets for that matter, were involved in the attack. In addition, the Russian defense ministry pointed out some anomalies suggesting that the convoy was not bombed from the air at all. We have studied video footage from the scene from so-called activists in detail and did not find any evidence that the convoy had been struck by ordnance, said Igor Konashenkov of the Russian Defense Ministry. There are no craters and the exterior of the vehicles do not have the kind of damage consistent with blasts caused by bombs dropped from the air. Indeed, photographs of the convoy do not line up with the damage that one would expect to see if the trucks had been attacked from the air. As Tom Miles and Angus McDowall reported for the Asia Times, He [Igor Konashenkov] said the damage to the convoy visible in footage was caused by its cargo catching fire. It had occurred at the same time as militants from the group formerly called the Nusra Front had started a big offensive in nearby Aleppo, he said, appearing to point the finger at rescue workers from a group called the White Helmets who filmed the aftermath. Only representatives of the White Helmets organization close to the Nusra Front who, as always, found themselves at the right time in the right place by chance with their video cameras can answer who did this and why. Hussein Badawi, head of the White Helmets in the town, said he was 100 meters (yards) from the aid depot when the attack took place and was injured by shrapnel in the hand. There were fires, martyrs, wounded people. We were able to pull out four survivors and five dead bodies at first, Badawi said. The bombardment was continuous. The rescue teams werent even able to work. Those who arrived in ambulances couldnt come in. Despite having immediately claimed that the attacks were the result of airstrikes, the United Nations was forced to walk back its assertions after the Russian response and explanation. Now, the U.N. statement has replaced the word airstrikes with the word attacks. U.N Humanitarian Spokesman Jens Laerke stated that the references were the result of a clerical error. We are not in a position to determine whether these were in fact air strikes. We are in a position to say that the convoy was attacked, he said. The Russian explanation, photographic evidence, and the intentional confusion that has come as a result of a propaganda push on the part of the Western media apparatus as well as the fact that the White Helmets, a notorious terrorist support group were first on the scene and that al-Nusra fighters were themselves launching an attack in the general area at the same time as the convoy was attacked, all point to the possibility that it was the terrorists who attacked the convoy and not a traditional state actor. Furthermore, video evidence has been posted appearing to show a jihadist vehicle armed with an artillery/mortar launcher riding beside the convoy. Still, the Western media is intentionally confusing two different convoys one that never entered Syria and was waiting on the Turkish side of the Turkey-Syria border and one that was traveling from the government held area in West Aleppo into terrorist held areas. The former was a U.N. aid convoy, the latter a Syrian Red Crescent convoy. It should be noted that the U.N. convoys sitting idle at the border were not allowed in by the Syrian government because the U.N. would not allow the Syrian government to inspect the trucks. The fear on the part of the Syrian government was that the NATO powers were smuggling in more weaponry and supplies for terrorists under the guise of U.N. aid trucks, a fear that has already been realized in the past. We now have a full on propaganda onslaught in the West attempting to blame Russia and/or Syria for bombing a U.N. aid convoy that was never bombed to begin with while at the same time hiding evidence of terrorists having attacked the one that was. As a result of deceptive reporting and propaganda coming out of official State Department mouths, the American public is fooled into believing that Russia and Syria have committed a tragic war crime despite the evidence showing that the attack on the actual convoy may very well have been committed by Americas proxy terrorists.

If this is true its a level of treachery that hopefully would lead to Iran and Russia, for starters, abandoning the NWO economic paradigm and Big Brother tracking theyre adopting under 2030 treaties. Wonder about the background of the middle eastern key eye witness cited in the MSM. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8991fb189b089cc5caf45f9534c218b8062884b4912cef366dc00b2dc67caab7.png The screenshot from a video which allegedly shows airstrike has signs of what Hellfire/MAC missiles (- predator drone) can cause Bellingcrap used pics of a conveniently placed OFAB bomb remnant to prove a Russian airstrike but it defies any logic if you look at the other pics Seriously, you actually didnt believe them for a second, did you? United States is the new Third Reich. correction 4th Reich (being facetious) Whiskey setting in pretty well with you there Hillary supporter? It is a blow to democracy and an open society when the protectors of the truth become nothing more than egregious government propagandists! The American MSM and some of the MSM of its allies are liars and cheats and should be believed by no one! When I read or hear nonsense such as blaming the Russians for bombing a convoy, I try to find a rationale for doing so. In Russias case, I simply couldnt. Why would Russia do such a thing? There is absolutely no reason that I can think of for it to take such an egregious action. On the other hand, a nation that is actually supporting terrorism, such as the US, would, if not involved itself, at least support terrorist activity to keep the pot roiling in Syria. It is much more believable that terrorists did this evil deed than that Russia did it. I think it was a set up. There was a UN escort with that convoy. What happened to them, and what did they see? Also why have we not seen all of the 18 trucks supposedly bombed and why havent the trucks been blown apart like all the buildings surrounded them and boxes and food items not even singed or charred. US has a wellknown lying bunch of warcriminals as leaders. Putin is Great president! Its an affront to truth to treat falsehood with complaisance. Thomas Paine Who believes the crooked and tainted western media anyway?? Hey Fred-O real thinking people dont need to be paid to work out a logical conclusion. Showing your utter ignorance or worse, admitting to being a shill boy Im 69 years old. Never, during my years of political awareness, has the US government had any credibility at all. You can start with Gary Powers U-2 flight. 
1	Following a comprehensive two-year linguistic survey, a report published Wednesday in the academic journal Language revealed that 58 percent of Japanese speakers worldwide are 23-year-old white men from the United States. Our findings indicate that a majority of individuals who can fluently speak and comprehend Japanese are actually Caucasian post-collegiate American males, many of whom order in Japanese at sushi restaurants and were one of the few white members of their universities Japanese clubs, read the report in part, which noted that American-born 23-year-old men who taught English for a year in Kobe or Sapporo after graduation currently outnumber all other speakers of the Japanese language, including the entire population of the East Asian island nation and its millions of emigrants living throughout the world. Though the Japanese dialect was spoken almost exclusively by individuals of Japanese origin until the mid-18th century, it is now largely a vernacular utilized by young white men who decorate their apartments with traditional Japanese prints and are devoted fans of manga artist Hayao Miyazaki. In fact, if present trends continue, we predict that within several decades the Japanese language will be spoken almost exclusively by fair-skinned twentysomething U.S. citizens who regularly purchase packaged seaweed snacks from small Asian markets and watch Akira Kurosawa films several times per month. The report further confirmed that virtually 100 percent of this demographic is either currently dating or recently broke up with a woman named Miku. 
1	Feminist groups are uniting in protest of sculptor Garrison Byrne, who is accused of turning women into objects for sale to the highest bidder. 'The sort of sexist, demeaning objectification of women in which Mr. Byrne engages is shocking and unacceptable,' wrote National Women's League president Georgia Richards-Weiss in a letter to The New York Times. 'That he actually makes a good living reducing females to lifeless objects is more shocking still.' 
1	Crayola manufacturer Binney-Smith baffled consumers Monday when it released a new version of its popular 64-color box with each crayon individually packaged in a 'Tru-Brite' cellophane wrapper. 'Now your crayons will stay bright and colorful even longer,' Binney-Smith president Arthur Wright said. 'And they'll come out of their liners as fresh as the day they were made.' The new boxes will also come with a convenient 'Wrapper-Disposal Bag,' into which the 64 wrappers may be discarded after removal of the crayons. 
2	Al Sharpton To Leave The Country For THIS Amazing Reason Over the past few months, weve seen a spike in liberal celebrities vowing to leave the country if Donald Trump is elected. Rev. Al Sharpton, for instance, claimed that he was reserving [his] ticket to get out of here if [Trump] wins. The Views Whoopi Goldberg also chimed in, claiming that she doesnt think that is America. I dont want it to be America, she added. Maybe its time for me to move. Raven Simone, also argued that she does not want to see Trump in the White Houseor any other Republican for that matter. My confession for this election is if any Republican gets nominated, Im going to move to Canada with my entire family, Simone commented. I already have my ticket. Many conservatives, including the Trump family, are more than happy to say goodbye to these three. Ill buy them their airfare, Donald Jr., Trumps son, told Fox and Friends. Those are endorsements for Trump. What do you think? Would our country be better off without Sharpton? 
2	Marine Confronts Hillary To Her Face About Benghazi, And Then THIS Happens [VIDEO] Former President Bill Clinton lost his cool during a recent campaign event in Bluffton, South Carolina after he was heckled by protesters. The crowd demanded to know if his wife, former Secretary of State and presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, lied about the four American deaths that occurred during the Benghazi attacks in 2012. One man, who claimed to be a military veteran, began talking about the Veterans Administration and started voicing his concerns. Clinton was quick to cut him off. I heard your speech. I heard your speech, Clinton interrupted. Will you let me answer? Im not your commander in chief anymore but if I were, Id tell you to be more polite and sit down. Do you have the courage to listen to my answer? he continued, visibly frustrated. Dont throw him out. Shut up and listen to my answer. Ill answer it. Watch the full clip below and tell us what you think. Do the Clintons need to be kept far away from the White House? 
2	Liberals Attack Jessie James After He Slams Hillary Clinton In Epically Public Way The number of celebrities endorsing Republican candidate Donald Trump is skyrocketing, even as controversy surrounding the legendary businessman continues to escalate. This week, it was no surprise when Jesse James, a famous motorcycle and hot rod builder and gun maker, publicly supported Trump on social media. The West Coast Choppers owner first came out for Trump in January. On Sunday, he solidified his support for the candidate when he posted a thought-provoking analogy to his Instagram account. Its hard to argue with what he had to say. Read his post below and tell us what you think: Ok just for shits and giggles. Lets pretend this presidential election is I dont know.A Job Interview for an upper management position. Job candidate Number one comes in. He shakes your hand and makes eye contact. He has a pretty impressive resume. Yes he has experienced some failures and adversity but he owns it and has far more experience as a money maker job creator. Looks like he just digs in and gets stuff done. Personality wise yea hes a bit of an asshole at times but thats what you need to get shit done. Nobody wants a pushover running things. They want somebody tough. Work history? Looks like hes been at the same job for 30 plus years. Desired salary, hes waiving that. That shows where his heart is. Job candidate number two comes in for an interview. She has a lengthy resume of different jobs held. Strikes me as somebody that wants to work at certain jobs but doesnt actually want to work at them. No verifiable references listed, She wants us to take her word that she did a good job. From the looks of her work experience She seems like a ship jumper. Always splitting for that next better job. Personality wise: Very disingenuous. I think she seems like somebody that will probably be an ass kisser while backdoor-ing parts. Or have a slip fall for a workmans comp claim. Desired salary: As much as she can get over and under the table. Looks like we need to call candidate number one in for a 2nd interview #Trump2016 
1	According to late-breaking reports emerging from Damascus, Gaza, Baghdad and elsewhere across the region, the deadly, generations-long conflict in the Middle East was not resolved today. Reporters at Mideast bureau offices as well as scores of eyewitnesses on the ground are confirming that, as of press time, local militant groups, government forces, insurgents, and religious fundamentalists in multiple countries had neither reached a ceasefire agreement nor secured a peace deal, and as a result did not usher in a new era of tolerance and stability to the region Monday. Additionally, 100 percent of accounts confirm that the situation is presently violent and unsettled. We can officially announce that lasting peace was not established across the Middle East today, said head of the United Nations Peacekeeping Department Herv Lasdous in an afternoon press conference, confirming that the decades-old clashes that pervade nearly every country in the area had not been solved during the past 24 hours. Ongoing political disputes, sectarian violence, and terrorist activity have not, as of yet, been brought to an end today, as no sides came together to seek a peaceful conclusion to the bloodshed and turmoil. A peace deal was not even considered, let alone drawn up or ratified. After years of bitter, bloody conflict, we can state that the atrocities and violence that were once synonymous with the Middle East are still very much synonymous with the Middle East, he added. Lasdous comments were corroborated by numerous Middle Eastern heads of state, leaders of terrorist organizations, and tribal warlords, all of whom separately confirmed that the most entrenched and divisive conflicts of the modern age, which have left millions dead and disaffected tens of millions more, have not been settled in any military, diplomatic, or humanitarian sense in the past few hours. At the time this article went to print, the latest reports indicated that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; the Syrian civil war; the Sunni-Shia conflict; the war in Afghanistan; the Iraqi insurgency; violent protests in Turkey and Egypt; fighting between Arabs and ethnic Kurds; the Sinai insurgency; internal unrest in Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen; and dozens of other conflicts were, in fact, still ongoing. Moreover, dozens of sources confirmed that brutality and strife, and not peace and prosperity, continued to dominate daily life in the region as of 6 p.m. local time today. According to high-level sources with knowledge of the situation, the conflict is likely to persist into tonight and may continue into tomorrow as well. Neither we, nor our enemies, set down our arms today in the spirit of building peace, said Abu Ubaida, a leader of the Palestinian resistance group al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, who stated that the idea of putting aside differences with his adversaries and working toward a mutually agreeable solution really didnt cross [his] mind either this morning or this afternoon. We did not find any common ground with the other side. We did not develop a roadmap to peace. And we certainly didnt sit down in good faith with our historic enemies with the shared recognition that what both sides truly desire is a future for our children in which they are safe from harm. That definitely didnt happen. Its safe to say that, since we awoke today, we havent taken any measurable step toward ending the persistent cycle of hatred and hostility that has defined our lives for generations, Ubaida continued. In fact, our sworn enemies remain just that, and were actually quite committed to going on killing them. Hailing the days developments as pretty much the same as those of any other day, sources throughout the region reported feeling not even the slightest bit hopeful about the prospect of a brighter future, citing no discernable change in the level of fighting and instability they experienced relative to the day before. Additionally, residents noted that the detonation of multiple car bombs, the massacre of innocent civilians, the perpetration of dozens of kidnappings, and the use of chemical weapons against a states own citizens were all concrete realities that had occurred within the past several hours, suggesting that, if anything, their lives may have actually grown worse since yesterday. In addition, the regions top diplomatic figures confirmed that they did not broker a historic peace accord Monday and therefore did not finally bring tranquility and a spirit of reconciliation to a people who had known nothing but war and hardship for generations. Didnt happen today, said President of the Syrian National Council George Sabra, speaking to reporters amid audible gunfire and occasional nearby explosions. Nope. Not even close. Added Sabra, Well let you know if it does. The selfnews will continue to follow this story as it develops. Readers are encouraged to continue checking this website for hourly updates on whether the Middle East conflict has been resolved. 
2	TV Host DESTROYS Obama Right To His Face [VIDEO] During a recent appearance on Fox and Friends, Rick Harrison, host of the reality show Pawn Stars, had some choice words about President Obama and his Affordable Care Act. Now, hes facing serious liberal backlash. The owner of the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas went in to detail about how the Affordable Care Act affects small businesses, and particularly his own store. Harrison argued that the new healthcare mandate led to his employees cost of medical insurance coverage has skyrocketed to $30,000 a month, up from $19,000. Its really difficult to do business sometimes, Harrison told reporters. I have 60-year-old women who have to have pregnancy coverage now. I mean I have some of the squarest ex-cops working for me now that have to have drug rehab. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
2	Obama Laughs Off Impeachment, Says Hes Doing His Job Despite breaking numerous laws and passing several executive actions that put the American people at risk, Obama seems to be overconfident, and is laughing off the idea of being booted from office. During a recent speech in Texas, Obama called out Republicans for filing a lawsuit against him for doing his job. You hear some of them, sue him, impeach him, he began. Really? For what? Youre going to sue me for doing my job? Think about that, youre going to use taxpayer money to sue me for doing my job while you dont do your job. What do you think? Are you sick of Obama thinking he is invincible and above the law? Is it time we had a real leader in the White House? 
3	Is Donald Trump Pretending To Be Racist So Hillary Clinton Will Win Election?By RedsilverJ I am not at all a Donald Trump supporter, but I have never heard him say anything that I would call racist. I believe that there are many people out there who will stretch political correctness to suit some agenda. I think it is far more likely that someone will take something out of context or take something that he misspoke and try to convince voters that he is a racist. I dont trust politicians but neither do I trust the very people who elected B.O. twice. Trump is not a racist. Thanks selfnews Post for your anti American article. On their Facebook page, selfnews Post has a pro Bernie Sanders for POTUS article. Very odd for a supposedly Libertarian-minded, anti-bankster, anti-war, anti-police state, anti-statist, and anti forced-vaccination leaning website ALL of which represents Bernie. Hey, we still want to see the people empowered, not more of the same tyranny from the powers that shouldnt be!! I thought a libertarian mindset could cope with difference of opinion and would be anti-censorship Hence the pro Bernie Sanders FB article perhaps? I agree that all views should be discussed and deconstructed in a fully open source manner, thats different from the promotion of a candidate in which there is no analysis of all of their pros and cons, esp. with a community gathering at a news outlet out of concern of a quickly developing totalitarian system of rule and lack of MSM transparency. To be fair and open, if a political discussion was the aim, a summary of each candidate from all parties should be written and the community encouraged to provide additional confirmed facts so we learn together. The hype around this election dog-and-pony show is beyond ridiculous, moving rapidly downhill toward embarrassing. When are people going to stop believing in these fictional characters and phony sitcom plots? Exactly. Whats the set up? Get Americans so disgusted with the political scene and Kabuki theater they accept the premise that we should all be ruled by unelected Technocrats, appointed in a strictly global authoritarian system of rule. This is what happening on the microcosm scale of Malaysia right now before that Greece and Italy PMs appointed by the International Banksters as Technocrats and now we have MSNBC publishing articles calling Obama a pragmatic Technocrat. Its staging. Its a set up all right, but Im not sure getting people disgusted is the goal per se, although thats probably a side benefit. I think its more to create chaos in whatever form it takes, whether they create the chaos themselves or we just go completely haywire as a nation, thereby becoming a laughable parody of the democracy and freedom we claim to be spreading around to the rest of the world. Were getting mighty close to haywire already and the s-election wont be revealed for another nine months. Well have reached Full Haywire Meltdown by then, no doubt. I like my seat up here in the nosebleed section just fine. Trump might as well have been hand selected by the DNC and Hillarys corporate masters in order to ensure her coronation. Sadly, you are correct Not with the progressives I talk to. Most will vote 3rd party before thy vote for HRC as they consider her to be both venal and mediocre. The rest have said they will vote for Trump rather than any establishment candidate. Im glad to hear that. Trump isnt racist. The media is running the hoax that he is a racist. Smh at this video. The media wants Hillary elected. Trump wants to be elected president. Trump isnt racist because there is no more racism. The fact that blacks have only 8% the wealth of whites, twice the unemployment, and are disproportionately jailed for the same crimes as whites, has nothing to do with racism. It is all about DNA. Blacks are naturally more criminal, just like Mexicans and Muslims. You cant fight human natureand so Trump is not a racist, at least not since he got in trouble for not renting to blacks and hiring undocumented workers. Trump has a documented history of banning African-Americans from his casinos. Is Trump a Manchurian Limited Hangout Psy Op candidate? Or is he, perhaps like Ross Perot, sincere and naive, TPTB exploiting his natural showmanship and refreshing directness for their standard Divide and Conquer protocol? We dont know, but those of us fully awake KNOW the masses are always being played for fools. At least he is cutting through usual bull crap PC politics to a degree we have never seen before. A word to the wise, Dr. Edwin Vieira, constitutional law expert and long time patriot, is like minded on finding Trumps candidacy to be an interesting and telling phenomenon. Vieira pointed out that Trump has had something of a personal friendship with Hillary, not just professional, as both Hillary and Bill were invited to his wedding and Trump contributed $100K to the Clinton Foundation (which may just be a reflection of Trumps social standing and not his political opinions). Cant say I trust Trump entirely either, but why on earth would he take on that kind of karma for his supposed friend, Hillary? He has a real chance at winning the Presidency also, remember this is Trump we are talking about here. Even if he betrays America the energy he has brought to the surface is not going away. No one hates a populist more than our owners. Keep in mind the establishment wanted Jeb, not Hillary. My theory is also that the establishment wanted Jeb. My theory: The establishment wanted a Bush vs Clinton ticket. A big FU to the populous before embarking on the next phase of this New World Order transition. Trump is a club member, not an outsider. Remember that always. No outsider donates money to get a Clinton to attend your wedding. No one masses his type of wealth without being a member. Real estate and casino gambling are two of the dirtiest industries out there. How many hands has he greased to get his projects done? Rich people dont want to President. They dont have to worry about their childrens future. He has a self funded campaign? Lets see how much he really spends. He is getting all his rallies covered by all media for free. The dirt on Trump will come out. They had it all along. When they are ready, they will unleash it and he will be gone. He will be rewarded handsomely for his role in this charade. The club will have garnered enough information to prepare the correct algorithms to make sure the vote count shows that Clinton wins. We will be treated to 8 years of if you disagree with Hillary, you are a sexists!. And the beat goes on. There is only one party with two marketing departments. theres,(if possible), one wild card thats Hillarys supposed Federal indictment. for what its worth. i am not totally sold out on it but then i again we dont really know if they are really gonna come after her, i have my doubts.!! I agree with you. Ive been saying this for a while now. Trump is most likely a distraction and an a$$ clown so that that the true candidate that has ALREADY been chosen by the PTB is seen as a better choice. Divide et impera. Donald Trump is a REAL populist candidate and this is a REAL populist movement, the first in our lifetime. And imo whoever runs this astroturf site knows it, so theyre just adding to the noise machine to drown out the sound of the cheering crowds. The first except for all the others. Name one truly populist movement inspired by any presidential candidate in our lifetime. None of them are truly populist, including Trumps. But that doesnt mean that there arent a multitude of gullible sycophants who need to believe that these imaginary movements do exist and jump in only to be disappointed by their emotional investment into failure later on. THAT happens every time. Sure, what is the vast majority of humanity against a tiny psychopathic elite? Resistance is futile so dont waste your time. Only fools think otherwise, so forget Donald Trump and just comply with the Agenda. You must be a blast at parties. Uh, Bernie. Uh, Bernie Sanders is a globalist as far from a populist as it gets. Support for open borders, support for Common Core to teach our children to be obedient serfs and above all, support for the Climate Change agenda, the foundation of the New World Order. You dont know what a populist is. From Webster: Ive learned not to waste my time responding to calculated idiocy designed to waste your time. And that trolls often have names like LudVanB, BuelahMan and Cypher. When you point a finger, three are pointing back at you. You apparently know zero about Bernie Sanders. Trump is part of the 1% and always has been, why on earth would he be a populist? Ive yet to hear one policy that is coherent, as well, and populists are known for their POLICIES, which favor the People. Yes one of the rare 1% who actually gives a damn about Americans and America. And you have to listen to hear, and you obviously havent. Try youtube, choose from his 100+ rallies or multiple interviews. His plans are also on his website. And hes not only a populist, but its the only true populist movement in our lifetime. Bernie Sanders is a globalist, not a populist. Most Presidents since Kennedy have been globalists. And Kennedy didnt run as a populist though he was one at heart and it got him killed. Warren Harding was another and it got him killed too. Obama is promoting the TPP which will turn the US into a third world country, Trump opposes TPP. Hillary has had a hand in every war you can think of ever since her rapist husband entered the White House, Trump has been a strong critic of the Iraq war invasion. Leftists want to flood the country with people from the third world, since according to the ideology of marxism there is no race or culture, only workers. Interestingly, one theory as to why the Democrats in 1965 passed the immigration law to allow a mass influx of Mexicans and others into the US, was because the Leftist ideology had finally been discredited by Nikita Kruschev, and the Dems decided they only way to get voters was to let everyone else in and give them free things (which they are not addicted to). Trump opposes flooding the country with immigrants. That does not make him a racist. Trump would create jobs for the minorities now living legally in the US, Obama has not only failed at that, he has a 58 percent unemployment rate for black youths in the US. Good job! USA will blow right down below 3rd world status and go for 4th world clubbing. Disagree he DOES want to be president. Narcissitic , power hungry, greedy. Not racist ? Are you kidding?Comments on Muslims, Mexicans ? Throwing anyone with dark skin out of his speeches including reporters. Not condemning David Duke??Objectifying women too. Exhausting disinfo. If any of it were true the media would be all over it like a hobo on a ham sandwich. Im not up for an extended, pointless debate with disinfo trolls. Exactly, liars more like it. Stephan Molyneux has debunked the Trump lies in TWO separate presentations, which are just brilliant. The Untruth About Donald Trump More Untruth About Donald Trump Why is selfnews Post promoting the neocon agenda for them? Very odd indeed. Excellent video. Thanks for posting it! Trump hasnt said anything racist.just common sense.true that criminals cross the border..true that ISIS will infiltrate refugees. True that we need to stop bombing Assad and let those people remain at home in safety. Trump said They (Mexican immigrants) are rapists. In fact, unauthorized immigrants have a 30% lower crime rate than US citizens. So his comment was a lie. Much more true would be: Americans are rapists. He also said the border was very dangerous and commending himself for his bravery in visiting the border. Lie! In fact, border cities are much less criminal than inland cities, and the largest border city, San Diego, is the safest large city in America. As for ISIS infiltrating the refugees, why would they stop fighting and wait 18-24 months to be vetted. That is no way to win a war. So he lied about that threat. And he lied about opposing the plan to invade Iraq, which he opposed only after it had gone sour. And he lied about Trump University having a A rating, when in fact it had a D rating when it stopped admitting students. And he has lied about protesters being violent when it is is supporters, responding to is promotion of violence, who have committed the violence. And he has lied about the invasion of immigrants since today there are fewer than in 2008, as more have left than come in. Completely wrong on every count. Wow. Thats impressive. No, completely factual: if you take the number of incarcerated undocumented immigrants and divide by the number present, you will find that they have much lower incarceration (ie crime) rates than US citizens. Anti-immigrant propaganda organs distort the facts by looking only at Federal prison populations, where only a very small fraction are incarcerated, most in state and local. If you look at all you will find the rate 30% lower. And many of those are non-violent crimes including lack of documentation and drug sales or possession. According to Pew and other sources, there are about 11 million undocumented immigrants (the majority from Mexico), a million fewer than in 2007. A politifact investigation found that immigrants incarcerated (which includes the legal immigrants as well) were according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics around 90,000 noncitizens incarcerated in federal and state prison systems at year end in 2013 and about 200,000 in local jails for a total of just under 300,000. That means that there were 30 incarcerated for every 1000. So if we take away the immigrant prisoners we arrive at a rate about 6/1000, meaning that US citizens are incarcerated at a rate 2 times more than both legal and unauthorized immigrants, meaning that the undocumented immigrant crime rate is even lower. These are well-documented and sourced statistics. Whats impressive is that you didnt even take the trouble, as I have, to find the facts, but shot from the hips with an empty cartridge. I challenge you to do your homework, fact check, and refute any of the data I have presented. I urge you to redeem your ignorant smugness by digging out the numbers and doing the math. And then I recommend you adjust your thinking to the facts. Your premise is as ridiculous as the premise of this article and insulting to all Americans. And may you never lose a loved one at the hands of an illegal, criminal or otherwise. You clearly didnt do your homework. I do not present a premise but documented facts that show that per capita, immigrants have only half the crime rate of US citizens. That is not an assumption, as I provide the sources. Since undocumented immigrants, in fact have a much lower crime rate, may you never lose a loved one to the US citizens who murder each other (over half being family/friends) at a rate of 25 a day. The facts prove that you are much safer with immigrants than US citizens, but you dont want to face the facts. If you have evidence that the data of the sources I have presented is inaccurate, present it. Put up or shut up. Then by all means, please move to Mexico or the Middle East where youll feel safer. My country right or wrong: when right, to be defended, when wrong, to be corrected. By your logic, that you prefer a less safe nation YOU should move to Mexico. If you really want to feel less safe, I urge you to move to Honduras. If you want a safer America, I urge you to join the 85% of gun owners who support universal background checksor should they all move to Mexico? Redsilver J has this wrong.he needs to see the big picture. Im not sold on Trump except hes the only possible option we have now because the other globalists war mongers are not an option Trump said he would build up the military so strong and so powerful so that well never have to use it A study of 2000 arms races over 2000 years of history showed that arms races (ie building up the military) result in wars 98% of the time. When the US builds up the mliitary, so do Russia, China, and other natioins. Trump wants to spend trillions to expand the arms race, thus increasing the likelihood of war. If building up the military prevented war, there would have been no WWII, Vietnam, or Iraq wars. Since the creation of the Federal Reserve, war has been VERY big business. But unlike the war profiteers Donald Trump made his fortune creatively, not destructively. So he intends to run the country the same way. Weve been lied to for so long that its hard to believe Donald Trump really means what he says. But hes not a DC politician who lies for a living, hes the most creatively successful man on the planet. Actions dont lie and his actions have been impeccable and will continue to be. As hes said and proven many times, he likes to WIN, and that means making America Great again :]. If Trump gets the nomination we will see what he does with Hillary..If he doesnt come out blasting her with both barrels then we will know if Redsilver J is correct. You are spot on there with the Romney McCain rollovers, both fully dishonorable men. Interesting perspective and I have to agree with mass manipulation going on, but Im not sold on the idea that Trump is intentionally trying to help Hillary. I do think he is helping her, but unintentionally. I think the mainstream media is playing Trump up for the same purpose. If he were really a threat to the status quo, they they could just not cover him and dismiss him as some quack. Weve seen it before with politicians who actually were a threat to the status quo, like Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich and Cynthia McKinney. The Donald is being pushed and shoved by George Soros paid for thugs (provocateurs). We seem to only get comment notices when theyre responses, so Ill post this to you directly.. I totally agree! Illusion is the medias specialty, so they went to work when Mr. Trump announced his we know trump is going to throw this warren buffett already told us hillary was the next chosen president This absurd article with its laughable premise is surely an invitation to pointless debate with trolls at the ready, should anyone question it, which undoubtedly leads to more absurd claims. This comment section is frustratingly inefficient and takes too long to load, which makes it just too time consuming to respond. Really too bad. I sincerely believe from my own observations that Trump is being used to divide the political ticket the way Ross Perot divided the nation in 1992, receiving 20% of the popular vote giving the election to Bill Clinton. (Bill, as an FYI exited office with the country having a 1 Trillion dollar surplus and since then we are now over 19+ Trillion in Debt. (With the last collapse in 2008 called TAARP as in throwing a blanket over the economy. The next one is going to be worse so be ready! 
1	According to a study published Wednesday by researchers at Princeton University, Americans support for the Bill of Rights is never stronger or more vocal than when attempting to talk their way out of a drunk driving arrest. Whether citing Fourth Amendment protections against illegal searches and refusing to get out of their vehicle, or repeatedly reminding the officer they have the First Amendment right to say whatever they want, the average citizens support for their constitutional freedoms soars immediately upon being pulled over for a suspected DUI, said the studys author, Cynthia Vogel, adding that when pushed into the back of a squad car, intoxicated Americans are more than 25 times as likely as regular citizens to loudly and repeatedly reference their Sixth Amendment right to see a lawyer. We were also intrigued to find that these heavily inebriated Americans interpret just about any use of force as excessive and a violation of their Eighth Amendment rights, often telling the arresting officer that they better watch out or they will be the one going to jail. Vogel went on to say that, for whatever reason, individuals in such situations almost never reference the Fifth Amendment.

3	5 Secret Places Censored on Google Maps: Military Secrets Blacked OutBy Mac Slavo Google, it seems, wont let you know. In many rare instances, its satellite images have been edited and blacked out to cover-up whatever is there. And since they are so deeply embedded with government and military activities, it is no wonder. This video identifies 5 fascinating sites that could shed light on the mysteries surrounding secret military activities but instead, they are blacked out and censored. What is really going on at these sites, and why are portions of these areas obscured from view? There are more questions than answers. (Warning: thought-provoking video, but annoying and unnecessary music turn down volume, descriptions are text and images only. Ed.) Our world is more complicated than most anyone thought possible. The version of government and society presented to you on television is a good distance away from the reality of what they have been constructing behind the scenes. It is entirely possible, and even probable, that most if not all of these clandestine black sites are part of a breakaway civilization where elites have access to longer lifespans and hidden technologies never shared with the world.

More recently they are keeping a lid on the Dark Pyramid and Sphinx discovered in Alaska. 
3	The Government Actually Has A Zombie Apocalypse Plan ... And Its Just Been DeclassifiedBy Jake Anderson The Black Vault posted two documents retrieved from the NSA using the Freedom of Information Act. The purpose of the plan, according to the United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), was to use a fictitious scenario to prepare for real-world emergencies. [The training focused on how to] undertake military operations to preserve non-zombie humans from the threats posed by a zombie horde. Because zombies pose a threat to all non-zombie human life (hereafter referred to as humans), USSTRATCOM will be prepared to preserve the sanctity of human life and conduct operations in support of any human population-including traditional adversaries. The objective of the three-fold plan includes the neutralization of zombies through denial, deception, disruption, degradation or destruction, though with the exception of destruction, it is unclear what is meant by these terms with regard to fighting zombies. Reading at times like the treatment to a campy science fiction script, CONPLAN888 categorizes eight classes of zombies: CONPLAN888 consists of multiple striking passages, given this is a government agency assessing a fictitious zombie uprising. More practical factors concern environmental issues such as groundwater contaminated with zombie pathogens. Other, more ominous notes, include references to the government declaring martial law within the United States. There is also a reference to epidemiologic surveillance for the purposes of watching changes in disease vectors. The government response to a zombie uprising unleashed by a nation-state, large corporation, or terrorist group includes the following additional measures: HAND SANITIZER, which, marketing materials say, kills 99% of germs (they note that hand sanitizer has never been tested on biohazard level 4 pathogens like ebola); and FIREPOWER TO THE HEAD (the human brain will still be functioning in the zombie state, but it is universally agreed that the only part actually active will be the brain stem). The documents assessment of zombies states that they are undead and thus feel no pain or fear of death, (therefore) riot control counter-measures would be completely ineffective. CONPLAN888 references the books and articles The Zombie Survival Guide, World War Z; An Oral History of the Zombie War, and Zombie Chickens Taking Over California, among others.

Its easier to experiment on and murder Americans when they are perceived to be dead zombies. Case In Point: Yep the human (and chicken) zombies ARE being systematically created and WILL BE systematically dealt with if we DO NOT CONSENT. (You included GMOs, but forgot vaccines and pharmaceuticals -targeting OUR nation already..DO NOT CONSENT. Stay healthy. they forgot zombie politicians, the most dangerous of all zombies! they create wars, famine, financial collapse, hatred, apathy, jealousy, etc etc.. All this misery was invented to blackmail the vegetarians /vegans who are real threat to satanists! No, it wasnt. They didnt forget politicians politicians are an INTEGRAL part of this war machine creating this Z.A.Plan.get it??? DO NOT CONSENT. Stay healthy. I think we are all headed to the chicken zombie FEMA camps.Bok, Bok, Bok, Bok, Bok Speak for YOURSELF, anonymous. There is nothing, I say man, NOTH-ING, like spending other peoples money! Just blow it on anything your heart desires at every whim because taxpayers are the losers no matter what and they wonder why people are flocking to Trump. Trump is a big silly zombie.just sayin.. I never said I didnt agree Considering the evil Btch Klinton and the other idiots, bashing Trump is the agenda of the government liars. It doesnt matter because there will be no more elections in the USA, only WW3! Wowthis is so appalling it MUST be real.the psychos running the world at present are diligently trying to turn us all into zombies with ALL their sick tricks..DO NOT CONSENT, Stay healthy. And exactly how would you consent to not be in WW3?? The entire government are evil treasonous criminals. The day of the next false flag using the nuke they stole in 2007 and blamed on Iran, America will be destroyed by Russia, China and the SCO. This is the war of Armageddon and you can know it is now because of Planet X and the toxic chemtrails that hide it every day. Planet X will end the war when it rips the earth apart again but 90% of Americans will be dead already. All planned by your evil government. Sounds like someone in the government has a little too much time on their hands, or Zombies are code for us. I have known this for years. It was no secret. It is also a sensible way to get people interested in survival skills for any disaster of any cause. Just look at the world around you. Millions of people displaced because of one disaster or another. Keep laughing folks. Bet you are not laughing when you have no water supply and your shops have empty food shelves and no medical supplies and your energy supplies are cut off in the middle of winter. Replace the word zombie with the phrase starving U.S. citizen after an economic collapse or infected citizen during a pandemic and there you have it, the Feds conditioning their cohorts to see human beings as nothing more than soulless corpses who should be shot in the head without hesitation. HAHAHAHA! Defense money for ZOMBIE scenarios! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The euro-Caucasian male led white skinned Leaders of ameriiiSCUM are ALWAYS the BIG HEROES as they have a RIGHT to TRAUMATIZE, OBLITERATE, THREATEN, AND CONSTANTLY PROVOKE any Country they want, at ANY TIME, to SPREAD their HERPES LIKE SHAM-0C-RACY as a FORM of government!!!!. N. Korea, the Hermetic Kingdom, is the PERFECT example of an OUTMATCHED WAR traumatized Country, that resisted the white skinned INVASION of its peninsula, that, 60 + years later, IS STILL IN MILITARY UNIFORMS, kept in a CONSTANT STATE OF WAR because ameriiiiiSCUM HAS NEVER officially ENDED the so-called Korean Conflict, JUST ANOTHER egregious VIOLATION of the meaningless Constitution WELL, MEET YOUR DADDY, ameriiiiSCUMS, militarily, called RUSSIA!

3	A Timeline: Whered Paris Shooters Get Their Weapons?Tony Cartalucci 2011 France supplying weapons to Libyan rebels, London Telegraph: A French military spokesman, Colonel Thierry Burkhard, said it had provided light arms such as assault rifles for civilian communities to protect themselves against Col Gaddafi. But the decision to arm the rebels is a further move towards direct involvement in the land war on top of the air war against Col Muammar Gaddafi. The Nafusa rebels have come closest to breaking through to Tripoli itself of any of the front lines of the conflict, while three months of Nato bombing have failed to dislodge Col Gaddafi from power. Le Figaro, the French newspaper which first reported the air drops, said the shipment included rifles, machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades, along with Milan anti-tank missiles. 2011 Libyan rebel commander admits his fighters have al-Qaeda links, London Telegraph: Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, the Libyan rebel leader, has said jihadists who fought against allied troops in Iraq are on the front lines of the battle against Muammar Gaddafis regime. 2012 France to push for arming Syrias opposition coalition, the BBC: Frances foreign minister has said he will discuss supplying arms to the Syrian opposition coalition with European partners. The government plans to push for a relaxation of the EU arms embargo to Syria to enable defensive arms to reach opposition fighters. 2013 Syria crisis: France and Britain move a step closer to arming rebels, the London Guardian: France and Britain have moved a step closer to arming the opposition to the Assad regime in a radical move aimed at tipping the balance in the two-year civil war while also ignoring European policy on Syria. The French president, Franois Hollande, went into an EU summit in Brussels with a dramatic appeal for Europe to join Paris and London in lifting a European arms embargo, but the sudden policy shift was certain to run into stiff German opposition. 2013 Syrian rebels pledge loyalty to al-Qaeda, USA Today: A Syrian rebel groups April pledge of allegiance to al-Qaedas replacement for Osama bin Laden suggests that the terrorist groups influence is not waning and that it may take a greater role in the Western-backed fight to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad. The pledge of allegiance by Syrian Jabhat al Nusra Front chief Abou Mohamad al-Joulani to al-Qaeda leader Sheik Ayman al-Zawahri was coupled with an announcement by the al-Qaeda affiliate in Iraq, the Islamic State of Iraq, that it would work with al Nusra as well. 2014 France delivered arms to Syrian rebels, Hollande confirms, France 24: President Francois Hollande said on Thursday that France had delivered weapons to rebels battling the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad a few months ago. France Isnt the Only One The cartoonish nature of France first being reported to give weapons to rebels before these rebels are reported to be, in fact, Al Qaeda is not simply Frances bad luck. It is part of NATOs very intentional, vast network of global state-sponsored terrorism. It would be reported that terrorists armed by the US in Syria with antitank missiles sided with Al Qaeda franchise and US State Department listed foreign terrorist organization, Al Nusra. The Daily Beast would report in its September 2014 article, Al Qaeda Plotters in Syria Went Dark, U.S. Spies Say, that: One Syrian rebel group supported in the past by the United States condemned the air strikes on Tuesday. Harakat Hazm, a rebel group that received a shipment of U.S. anti-tank weapons in the spring, called the airstrikes an attack on national sovereignty and charged that foreign led attacks only strengthen the Assad regime. The statement comes from a document, purportedly from the group, that has circulated online and was posted in English translation from a Twitter account called Syria Conflict Monitor. Several Syria experts, including the Brookings Doha Centers Charles Lister, believe the document to be authentic. Before the official statement, there were signs that Harakat Hazm was making alliances in Syria that could conflict with its role as a U.S. partner. In early Septemeber a Harakat Hazm official told a reporter for the L.A. Times: Inside Syria, we became labeled as secularists and feared Nusra Front was going to battle usBut Nusra doesnt fight us, we actually fight alongside them. We like Nusra. This group would later be reported by the Western press as having surrendered to Al Qaeda. The International Business Times would claim in its article, Syria: Al-Nusra Jihadists Capture US TOW Anti-Tank Missiles from Moderate Rebels, that: Weaponry supplied by the US to moderate Syrian rebels was feared to have fallen into the hands of jihadist militants affiliated to al-Qaida after clashes between rival groups. Islamist fighters with Jabhat al-Nusra seized control of large swathes of land in Jabal al-Zawiya, Idlib province, at the weekend, routing the US-backed groups the Syrian Revolutionaries Front (SFR) and Harakat Hazm, activists said. Washington relied on SFR and Harakat Hazm to counter Isis (Islamic State) militants on the ground in Syria, complementing its air strikes. Clearly, Harakat Hazm willingly pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda, bringing with them Western armament. Much of Al Qaedas weapons, cash, training, and backing has been supplied by the West through similar laundering arrangements intentionally with plans to arm Al Qaeda and use it as a mercenary force against Western enemies in the Middle East laid as early as 2007. Al Qaeda was intentionally organized and directed by the US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel to engage in a regional confrontation aimed at Iran and its powerful arc of influence including Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and now apparently Iraq. A similar gambit played out in North Africa during NATOs war with Libya. Before that, in the 1980s, the US CIA notoriously created Al Qaeda in the first place to fight a proxy war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. This most recent use of Al Qaeda was exposed by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh in his 2007 article, The Redirection: Is the Administrations new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism? it which 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 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. Now these extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam and who are sympathetic to Al Qaeda are running loose in France spilling French blood, with and inexhaustible supply of weapons and cash courtesy in part of the French government itself, and with years of combat experience fighting Paris and the rest of NATOs proxy wars for them everywhere from Libya to Syria. Tony Cartaluccis articles have appeared on many alternative media websites, including his own at 
1	More than three weeks after the beloved 90-year-old actors passing, the nation was surprised to find itself still mired in a deep depression over the loss of film and sitcom star Jack Klugman, millions of Americans reported Thursday. I only watched The Odd Couple a few times on cable, and I guess I never realized how much Jack meant to me until he was gone, said Iowa homemaker Beth Golding, who lay weeping and curled up on her couch, a scene that played itself out repeatedly across all 50 states. Its been almost a month now, and yet not a day goes by that I dont think about how actor Jack Klugman was cruelly torn away from us. I cant eat, sleep, or work without seeing his smiling face everywhere I look. Why the hell am I still taking this so hard? At press time, the entire U.S. populace reportedly sighed and stared wistfully out the window. 
2	Schools Textbooks Say Islam Is A Peaceful Religion At a time when our nation is deep into the fight with ISIS, liberals throughout the country have been trying to convince Americans that Islam is a religion of peace. They argue that there is nothing fundamental in Islam itself that should be feared. Now, it appears that our children are being taught a similar rhetoric in the classroom. According to reports, a school in Tennessee has just come under fire for teaching Islamic values to a group of seventh-graders. The textbooks that the children in one class were using claimed that Islam was a peaceful religion. It even went on to claim that Muslims and Christians worship the same God. What it failed to acknowledge, however, was the reality of jihad and Islamic terrorism. I am concerned because I have three kids in Williamson County Schools, state Sen. Jack Johnson told reporters. The possibility we could be advocating Islam in school and could be misrepresenting history has generated lots of calls and emails. I want to educate myself and learn more about it. The move has received immense backlash from parents, and now Rep. Sheila Burt from Maury County has come forward with plans to introduce a bill that separates teachings of Islam from the classroom. It simply says we wont indoctrinate students in sixth and seventh grade, Burt commented. And that they will learn comparative religion in high school. What do you think? Do you support the decision to hold off on any mention of Islam in the classroom until students are prepared to form their own opinions on the matter? 
2	Nike Sends Message Back To Muslim Demands According to recent reports from Daily Mail, a New York Muslim man is bashing Nike for refusing to custom-produce a pair of Air Jordans with the words Muslim or Islam on them. 40-year-old Nabeel Kaukab attempted to place the custom order online through NikeID, but was turned down. Of course, Kaukab quickly took to social media to express his frustrations, writing an open letter complaining about the companys decision to deny the request. Dear Nike, I have a sincere question for your Nike ID team, Kaukab wrote on Facebook. Today, I was trying to buy a pair of Air Jordans and was checking out the customization features, one of which includes the ability to put short text (up to 6 letters) on them. As I was experimenting with differently words to customize my shoes, I noticed that for Nike, neither Islam nor Muslim fit within our guidelines. On the guidelines, certain words are banned. As far as I (or any rational person) can assume, neither word is profanity, slang (appropriate or inappropriate), insulting or discriminatory (more than a billion people globally find identity in being called Muslim), Kaukab continued. Considering there is no trademark or IP around just the word Islam or Muslim, by process of elimination that leaves your customers to assume only the following: Either you believe the word Islam or Muslim incites violence or they are words that Nike doesnt want to place on its products? Nike ignored the mans question and cancelled the order for the shoes. Some believe that the silence was associated with the backlash the company received in the late1990s after a popular shoe with a stylized writing of the word Air closely resembled the Arabic symbol for Allah. That incident caused Nike to pull nearly 38,000 pairs of shoes from the market and release a formal apology to Muslims worldwide. What do you think of Nikes decision? 
2	DHS Chief Vows To Protect Muslims From Americans According to recent reports, the Secretary of Homeland Security has officially become the second high-ranking Obama administration confirmed to have a relative investigated for Communism. That information may seem irrelevant, but Judicial Watch claims that it is actually very telling. During a recent event, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson compared the discrimination that Muslims face amid the climate of fear, suspicions and prejudice to McCarthyism. The term McCarthyism refers to the movement to weed out Communists during the Cold War. In 1949, during the McCarthy era, my own grandfather was called upon to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee, to deny he was a member of the Communist Party and defend the patriotism of African America, Johnson told his audience. Today his grandson is responsible for the homeland security of this entire nation. The comment was made at the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS), one of the largest mosques in the U.S. Leadership at ADAMS secured Johnson to hold a National Security and Civil Rights press conference following the San Bernardino terrorist attacks. ADAMS officials worked hard to keep Judicial Watch from attending the event, but the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was forced in intervene after the watchdog network filed multiple appeals. Initially, DHSs Acting Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs told JW that his agency does not have the authority to force any private entity to accommodate those whom they do not wish to accommodate. Of course, that was an incorrect assertion, given that the conference was widely promoted and featured a cabinet secretary. Judicial Watch quickly showed the journalism credentials of its reporting staff, and after filing several appeals, was given access. Its a good thing too, given that Johnsons connection to Communism had never been revealed. Some believe it could have been pertinent information during the Senate confirmation hearings before he took over the agency responsible for keeping the nation safe after 9/11. As Muslim terrorism hits closer and closer to home, our Homeland Security chief views the war on Islamic terrorism as another Red scare, where Muslim terrorist suspects are Red-baited like his grandfather, JW wrote. No wonder this administration isnt interested in monitoring radical Muslims for terrorist connections. What do you think? Is this just further proof that Obama and his cronies cannot be trusted? 
3	Western Looting Of Ukraine Has BegunPaul Craig Roberts Politically Ukraine is an untenable aggregation of Ukrainian and Russian territory, because traditional Russian territories were stuck into the borders of the Ukraine Soviet Republic by Lenin and Khrushchev. The Crimea, stuck into Ukraine by Khrushchev, has already departed and rejoined Russia. Unless some autonomy is granted to them, Russian areas in eastern and southern Ukraine might also depart and return to Russia. If the animosity displayed toward the Russian speaking population by the stooge government in Kiev continues, more defections to Russia are likely. The Washington-imposed coup faces other possible difficulties from what seems to be a growing conflict between the well-organized Right Sector and the Washington-imposed stooges. If armed conflict between these two groups were to occur, Washington might conclude that it needs to send help to its stooges. The appearance of US/NATO troops in Ukraine would create pressure on Putin to occupy the remaining Russian speaking parts of Ukraine. Before the political and geographical issues are settled, the Western looting of Ukraine has already begun. The Western media, doesnt tell any more truth about IMF rescue packages than it does about anything else. The media reports, and many Ukrainians believe, that the IMF is going to rescue Ukraine financially by giving the country billions of dollars. Ukraine will never see one dollar of the IMF money. What the IMF is going to do is to substitute Ukrainian indebtedness to the IMF for Ukrainian indebtedness to Western banks. The IMF will hand over the money to the Western banks, and the Western banks will reduce Ukraines indebtedness by the amount of IMF money. Instead of being indebted to the banks, Ukraine will now be indebted to the IMF. Additionally, Ukraine will have to float its currency. In a futile effort to protect its currencys value from being driven very low (and consequently import prices very high) by speculators ganging up on the currency and short-selling it, Ukraine will borrow more money with which to support its currency in the foreign exchange market. Of course, the currency speculators will end up with the borrowed money, leaving Ukraine much deeper in debt than currently. The corruption involved is legendary, so the direct result of the gullible Maiden protesters will be lower Ukrainian living standards, more corruption, loss of sovereignty over the countrys economic policy, and the transfer of Ukrainian public and private property to Western interests. If Ukraine also falls into NATOs clutches, Ukraine will also find itself in a military alliance against Russia and find itself targeted by Russian missiles. This will be a tragedy for Ukraine and Russia as Ukrainians have relatives in Russia and Russians have relatives in Ukraine. The two countries have essentially been one for 200 years. To have them torn apart by Western looting and Washingtons drive for world hegemony is a terrible shame and a great crime. The gullible dupes who participated in the orchestrated Maiden protests will rue it for the rest of their lives. When the protests began, I described what the consequences would be and said that I http://www.globalresearch.ca/regime-change-in-ukraine-and-the-imfs-bitter-economic-medicine/5374877 One final word. Despite unequivocal evidence of one country after another being looted by the West, governments of indebted countries continue to sign up for IMF programs. Why do governments of countries continue to agree to the foreign looting of their populations? The only answer is that they are paid. The corruption that is descending upon Ukraine will make the former regime look honest. This article first appeared at Paul Craig Roberts website Institute For Political Economy.

2	Biker Gang Kills ISIS Militants In Epic Battle [VIDEO] According to reports, the Median Empire Motorcycle Club has made the decision to send a group of its members as reinforcement to the Kurds battling the Islamic State. The gang is named after an ancient Iranian Median empire, and is composed of Kurds living in Germany. Now, pictures of the gang members wearing their leathers and carrying rifles have started showing up on social media site. Their leather indicated their affiliation with the Median Empire club, but their tattoos suggest that the members are also affiliated the Hells Angels. A video of the group fighting had also surfaced, but was taken down for its violent nature. This is a really new development, but we are monitoring it to see how things develop, one spokesman claimed. What do you think? Do you support the group taking action? 
3	Government Concerned That Homeschool Parents Are Radicalizing Their ChildrenBy John Vibes There has always been the freedom in this country for people to educate their children at home. Many people do it very well, but we need to know where the children are and to be certain that they are safe. For every parent doing a brilliant job, there may be someone filling their childs mind with poison. We just dont know. We dont have reliable figures, a Department of Education spokesman said. The Department said that they were also concerned about what was being taught in private Muslim schools, and that they were intending to crack down on those as well. We have provided Ofsted with extra inspectors to eradicate extremism in education. We are working with them to address their concerns about home education being exploited, while safeguarding the rights of parents to determine how and where to educate their children, the spokesperson said. The government in any country is not concerned with the health and well-being of children, and they do not spend billions on education for the good of the children or the parents. They invest so much in schools, and care so much about them, because they want to be able to train children to be obedient citizens and indoctrinate them into the system of control that they are living under. In most schools, whether they are in Europe, America or North Korea, students are presented with a skewed, biased and nationalistic view of history. Generally, the historical curriculum in government school is skewed to portray the establishment in a positive light. History lessons make warmongers look like martyrs because the warmongers have control over the formation of these lessons. The main focus of public education is to mold young minds into accepting authority and to teach them the very basic skills that they will need to be a part of the work force. Schools do not teach people how to think, but only what to think, or more accurately how to remember and regurgitate information which has been fed to them. The useful information that is taught in schools would realistically only take a few months per year to go over, but passing along this information is not whats important to the public school system. What is important to them is the day to day structure of how the school is run which socializes and indoctrinates the children. This structure is designed to break the childs spirit and teach them to be submissive to authority figures. It is also specifically designed to groom working class children for their future jobs, which will be at a corporation or bureaucracy of their choosing. Homeschooling is still frightening to a lot of people because the idea of sending children off to a state institution for 12 years has become so deeply ingrained in Western culture, even though the government is obviously a horrible candidate for a babysitter. However, this is actually a relatively new practice and literacy rates have actually plummeted since the government got involved in education and forced parents to send their children to specific schools by law. Thats not to say that organized group learning isnt a valuable thing, but theres no need for government involvement for organized group learning to take place.

John Vibes writes for Trueselfnews.com As an American I learned very little in high school despite studying and never skipping school. Now that vaccines are mandatory in California well see a huge uptick in homeschooling. When I stated that if I was raising kids today I would home school ; I was accused of being a bigot because I live in the south and sadly racism is still rampant . However I was not raised here I came up with many legitimate reasons: 5] Sexual predators [older kids teachers] 8] DRUGS 18] Antiquated, overcrowded school buses belching diesel smoke into cabins while drivers speed to make their schedules. What a transparent coordinated effort in this never dystopian nightmare. Create mandatory vaccination for school aged children forcing many to home school. Then demonize home-schoolers. You want a nationwide uprising? Screw with peoples children and thats exactly what you will get. Duh I forgot to list forced VACCINATION! Not homeschooling Obama just your numerous mosques everywhere! Common core is another top down gubberment agency not worth the paper it takes to print let alone the time of the good kids in the school system. Home school and save your child do not vaccinate. Two of my grands have never been vaccinated and they never get sick. BTW: Rachel and CAWS I agree 12 years of all the nonsense is too long. You only get sick or worse if you DO get vaccinated. As with all drugs: just say NO! Yeah, Because our Govt isnt Radicalizing anyone these days now are they? Except blacklivesmatter and the new black panthers and the Furgueson people and Maryland and.. Well the government doesnt want anyone to slip through the cracks, they want all children to learn to be slaves early on. REMEMBER with LIEberals when they state something it is usually WHAT they are doing. Very telling. In another words the want to RADICALIZE your children, not you. You are TEACHING them critical thinking and the 3 Rs. The LIEberals think that is radicalizing your children. Last I heard, the state authority were labelling homeschoolers potential pedophiles. Nice! There is also a multitude of other curriculum options that do not line 
2	New York Bomb Terrorist Caught... Heres Whats Happening Earlier this weekend, Ahmad Khan Rahami was named a person of interest in the explosions this weekend in New York City and New Jersey. Now, he has been charged with five counts of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, as well as second-degree unlawful possession of a weapon and second-degree of possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. Rahami is a U.S. citizen of Afghan descent. Yesterday morning, Rahami was taken into custody and hospitalized after a shootout with police in Linden, New Jersey. He has been directly linked to the devices used in the New York and New Jersey explosions, FBI official Bill Sweeney said in a statement. Yesterday afternoon, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio commented there was every reason to believe this was an act terror. Though, he noted there is no indication that there is a cell operating in the area or in the city. We will continue to conduct investigative activity to ensure we completely understand Rahamis social network, Sweeney assured the public. For that reason, I do not plan to answer specific questions about our techniques, or our knowledge of the devices. Rahami was taken into custody after being injured in an altercation in Linden. An owner of a Linden bar reported that someone was sleeping in the hallway of his establishment at around 10:30 a.m. A responding officer was also shot in his bulletproof vest, and a second officer was injured in the incident. Rahami is now undergoing surgery, though the extent of his injuries in unclear at this time. Harry Bains, the bar owner, told reporters that it was my gut reaction to call the police. When the officer arrived on the scene and approached the man to wake him up, he realized he was the suspect that was being sought in the bombings. He realized it was the suspect, and within moments, the suspect fire on him, authorities confirmed. And thank God that he had his vest on. And I think that was very helpful for him. I think that saved his life. President Obama later released a comment saying he spoke on the phone with the officers responsible for apprehending Rahami. They were in good spirits and I communicated to them how appreciative the American people are, he commented. The investigation is far from over, and agents are still searching for other people who may be connect to Rahami. 
3	The Coming Derivatives Panic That Will Destroy Global Financial MarketsMichael Snyder, Contributor There is a reason why Warren Buffett once referred to derivatives as financial weapons of mass destruction. Nobody really knows the total value of all the derivatives that are floating around out there, but estimates place the notional value of the global derivatives market anywhere from 600 trillion dollars all the way up to 1.5 quadrillion dollars. So who is buying and selling all of these derivatives? Well, would it surprise you to learn that it is mostly the biggest banks? According to the federal government, four very large U.S. banks represent 93% of the total banking industry notional amounts and 81% of industry net current credit exposure. These four banks have an overwhelming share of the derivatives market in the United States. You might not be very fond of the too big to fail banks, but keep in mind that if a derivatives crisis were to cause them to crash and burn it would almost certainly cause the entire U.S. economy to crash and burn. Just remember what we saw back in 2008. What is coming is going to be even worse. It would have been really nice if we had not allowed these banks to get so large and if we had not allowed them to make trillions of dollars of reckless bets. But we stood aside and let it happen. Now these banks are so important to our economic system that their destruction would also destroy the U.S. economy. It is kind of like when cancer becomes so advanced that killing the cancer would also kill the patient. That is essentially the situation that we are facing with these banks. It would be hard to overstate the recklessness of these banks. The numbers that you are about to see are absolutely jaw-dropping. According to the Comptroller of the Currency, four of the largest U.S. banks are walking a tightrope of risk, leverage and debt when it comes to derivatives. Just check out how exposed they are JPMorgan Chase Total Assets: $1,812,837,000,000 (just over 1.8 trillion dollars) Total Exposure To Derivatives: $69,238,349,000,000 (more than 69 trillion dollars) Citibank Total Assets: $1,347,841,000,000 (a bit more than 1.3 trillion dollars) Total Exposure To Derivatives: $52,150,970,000,000 (more than 52 trillion dollars) Bank Of America Total Assets: $1,445,093,000,000 (a bit more than 1.4 trillion dollars) Total Exposure To Derivatives: $44,405,372,000,000 (more than 44 trillion dollars) Goldman Sachs Total Assets: $114,693,000,000 (a bit more than 114 million dollars yes, you read that correctly) Total Exposure To Derivatives: $41,580,395,000,000 (more than 41 trillion dollars) That means that the total exposure that Goldman Sachs has to derivatives contracts is more than 362 times greater than their total assets. To get a better idea of the massive amounts of money that we are talking about, just check out this excellent infographic. How in the world could we let this happen? And what is our financial system going to look like when this pyramid of risk comes falling down? Our politicians put in a few new rules for derivatives, but as usual they only made things even worse. According to Nasdaq.com, beginning next year new regulations will require derivatives traders to put up trillions of dollars to satisfy new margin requirements. Swaps that will be allowed to remain outside clearinghouses when new rules take effect in 2013 will require traders to post $1.7 trillion to $10.2 trillion in margin, according to a report by an industry group. The analysis from the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, using data sent in anonymously by banks, says the trillions of dollars in cash or securities will be needed in the form of so-called initial margin. Margin is the collateral that traders need to put up to back their positions, and initial margin is money backing trades on day one, as opposed to variation margin posted over the life of a trade as it fluctuates in value. So where in the world will all of this money come from? Total U.S. GDP was just a shade over 15 trillion dollars last year. Could these rules cause a sudden mass exodus that would destabilize the marketplace? Lets hope not. But things are definitely changing. According to Reuters, some of the big banks are actually urging their clients to avoid new U.S. rules by funneling trades through the overseas divisions of their banks Wall Street banks are looking to help offshore clients sidestep new U.S. rules designed to safeguard the worlds $640 trillion over-the-counter derivatives market, taking advantage of an exemption that risks undermining U.S. regulators efforts. U.S. banks such as Morgan Stanley (MS.N) and Goldman Sachs (GS.N) have been explaining to their foreign customers that they can for now avoid the new rules, due to take effect next month, by routing trades via the banks overseas units, according to industry sources and presentation materials obtained by Reuters. Unfortunately, no matter how banks respond to the new rules, it isnt going to prevent the coming derivatives panic. At some point the music is going to stop and some big financial players are going to be completely and totally exposed. When that happens, it might not be just the big banks that lose money. Just take a look at what happened with MF Global. MF Global has confessed that it diverted money from customer accounts that were supposed to be segregated. A lot of customers may never get back any of the money that they invested with those crooks. The following comes from a Huffington Post article about the MF Global debacle, and it might just be a preview of what other investors will go through in the future when a derivatives crash destroys the firms that they had their money parked with Last week when customers asked for excess cash from their accounts, MF Global stalled. According to a commodity fund manager I spoke with, MF Globals first stall tactic was to claim it lost wire transfer instructions. Then instead of sending an overnight check, it sent the money snail mail, including checks for hundreds of thousands of dollars. The checks bounced. After the checks bounced, the amounts were still debited from customer accounts and no one at MF Global could or would reverse the check entries. The manager has had to intervene to get MF Global to correct this. How would you respond if your investment account suddenly went to zero because the firm you were investing with diverted customer funds for company use and now you have no way of recovering your money? Keep an eye on the large Wall Street banks. In a previous article, I quoted a New York Times article entitled A Secretive Banking Elite Rules Trading in Derivatives which described how these banks dominate the trading of derivatives On the third Wednesday of every month, the nine members of an elite Wall Street society gather in Midtown Manhattan. The men share a common goal: to protect the interests of big banks in the vast market for derivatives, one of the most profitable and controversial fields in finance. They also share a common secret: The details of their meetings, even their identities, have been strictly confidential. When the casino finally goes bust, you will know who to blame. Without a doubt, a derivatives panic is coming. It will cause the financial markets to crash. Several of the too big to fail banks will likely crash and burn and require bailouts. As a result of all this, credit markets will become paralyzed by fear and freeze up. Once again, we will see the U.S. economy go into cardiac arrest, only this time it will not be so easy to fix. Do you agree with this analysis, or do you find it overly pessimistic? Please feel free to post a comment with your thoughts below linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	Michelle Running Campaign To Ban Offensive Word From English Language Well apparently, Michelle Obama is not done campaigning yet. It appears that she has decided to stan behind a campaign that is hoping to ban the word bossy. FLOTUS announced Michelles support for the campaign, which has been receiving national media attention after being backed by stars like Beyonce. Ironically, Beyonce finds the word bossy more offensive than bitches, which her husband frequently uses in his lyrics. Critics of the First Lady claim that her support of the banning of the word is akin to 1984. Girls are less interested in leadership than boys and thats because they worry about being called bossy, the campaign video claims. According to the movement, the solution is to ban the word from our language entirely. The video has already received numerous backlash for attempting to set a dangerous precedent of banning words, which some view as a restriction on free speech. Further, critics argue that the campaign is designed by liberals to fix non-issues. What do you think of the campaign? Will banning bossy fix anything?

3	David Cameron Supports TerrorismBrit Dee, Contributor Thats the only conclusion that can be drawn from his failure to explicitly condemn yesterdays bombing in Damascus, Syria, which murdered several leading members of president Assads government. The bombing of a government meeting room killed Syrias defence minister, Dawoud Rajha, deputy defence minister Assef Shawkat, who was also Assads brother-in-law, and a former defence minister, Hassan Turkmani. Two of the men killed were in their 60s, with Turkmani being 77 years of age. Responsibility for the bombing has come from both the Syrian Free Army and an Islamist group called Liwa Al-Islam. In a reference to evidence implicating foreign involvement in the destabilisation of the country, a Syrian government spokesman said that responsibility for the terror attack falls directly on the hands of the Arab and Western governments, their intelligence agencies and their spies. Speaking at a press conference in Kabul, Afghanistan, Cameron today failed to condemn the brutal act of violence and instead launched into an attack on the Assad government, as well as criticising those refusing to support UN sanctions principally Russia. Russia know very well that an attempt is underway to repeat last years outrageous overthrow of Libyas Muammar Gaddafi, when our leaders supported, funded and armed a rebel army comprising militants connected to Al Qaeda. In the fight against terrorism, the West is now an active supporter of terrorism. By failing to condemn yesterdays murders, Western leaders have clearly exposed the lengths to which they are prepared to go, to try and remove governments they wish replaced with compliant puppets. The West, Israel, and several Sunni Arab states are trying to oust the Syrian Shia-dominated government in order to weaken support for the real target in the ongoing campaign of Middle Eastern violence Iran. Assad is a key ally of Irans, and securing the overthrow of the Syrian government would isolate and weaken the Iranians. You only have to look at a map of the Middle East, and how the illegal and immoral imperial wars of the last decade have left Iran effectively surrounded by puppets of the West, to see the geopolitical game of chess being played. Neocons even revealed to General Wesley Clark, shortly after 9/11, their plan to take out a series of Middle Eastern countries including Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Iran. Coupled with constant propaganda about Irans supposed nuclear weapons program, and the poorly supported accusations of the countrys involvement in foreign terror attacks, everything is building towards an attempt by the Anglo-American-Israeli alliance aided by their supporters in the Arab world to decisively secure both the country and the entire Middle East. The reasons for this are obvious. In a global war for natural resources Iran is a key producer of oil and also, crucially, an enemy of the racist Zionist regime ruling Israel. We can only hope that China and Russia refuse to allow the forcing out of Assad, and that the situation does not rapidly spiral into a Third World War.

3	The Motive Behind the Boston False Flag OperationDave Hodges Gaining Control of Communications The first step to subduing an enemy is to remove their command and control, and that is accomplished by eliminating communications. This is precisely what the administration is poised to do and they are moving quickly towards this end. If the government is going to move to shut down the medium of communication which is threatening to expose their criminality to the masses, namely the Internet, they need to first find a pretext. Obama Creates An Internet Interagency Working Group The decided move towards controlling the Internet was actually foretold earlier this year with theObama White House announcing the creation of a new interagency working group to address what it calls a growing problem. This new federal interagency group will be led by Quintan Wiktorowicz, who presently serves as the White House senior director for community partnerships on the national security staff. The new group will be called The Interagency Working Group to Counter Online Radicalization and will be tasked with the implementation of an Internet safety program to address online violent extremism. Violent extremist groups like Al Qaeda and its affiliates and adherents, violent supremacist groups, and violent sovereign citizens are leveraging online tools and resources to propagate messages of violence and division. These groups use the Internet to disseminate propaganda, identify and groom potential recruits, and supplement their real-world recruitment efforts. Some members and supporters of these groups visit mainstream fora to see whether individuals might be recruited or encouraged to commit acts of violence, look for opportunities to draw targets into private exchanges, and exploit popular media like music videos and online video games. Although the Internet offers countless opportunities for Americans to connect, it has also provided violent extremists with access to new audiences and instruments for radicalization. Wiktorowicz is not referring to al Qaeda. He specifically uses the term violent sovereign citizens. The term sovereign citizen is something that I have previously warned the American public about. You would be wise to visit the following link about what constitutes a dangerous sovereign citizen according to this criminal government. The Tsarnaev brothers clearly fit this administrations definition of a sovereign citizen. And where did these two terrorists learn to become such a threat to the country. Reportedly, they learned their terrorist ways by going to the Internet. The Bombs and the Fundamentalist Beliefs Were Allegedly Built By Using Online Sources CNN has reported that preliminary interviews indicate the two brothers fit the classification of self-radicalized Jihadists. CNN says the pairs radicalization was completed by watching online radical material. The pretext has been delivered and it just a matter of time until the government seizes control of the Internet. I do not believe in coincidences, and the Boston Marathon Bombing is no coincidence that it coincides with CISPA and the fact that Obama is looking for any excuse to take control over the Internet. Subsequently, the government has its pretext, and soon the Internet will be tightly controlled. What effect will that have on the American people? Time will tell. However, I think it is likely that the inability to get easy news will force many people into a more active mode, and the more active a person is in the pursuit of the truth, the more awake the person will become. These could very well become the seeds which will ultimately develop into a civil war. 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: 
2	Texas Muslim Group Just Did Something Unspeakable To This Fox News Reporter Following the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attacks, a Muslim group called Stand With The Prophet pulled together a rally in Texas to stand up for Islam, defending it as a religion of peace. When Fox News reporter Jesse Watters attempted to enter the event, however, he was denied. I filled out the media form and I bought tickets too, personally, Watters reported. And now theyre saying I cant go in. Theres a certain type of media allowed, one man replied, representing the group. I thought this was supposed to be open press and I came all the way down here from New York, Watters argued to the man, who proceeded to walk away. The whole incident was caught on tape. What do you think? Is this just another example of a supposedly open-minded group practicing discrimination themselves? Is it fair to allow only a certain type of media into the event? 
1	Speaking at an impromptu press conference early this morning, FBI officials revealed the discovery of new information regarding a possible terrorist attack within the United States on Sept. 11, 2001. We recently received intelligence from credible sources leading us to believe that, 11 years ago today, a group of Islamic extremists plan to hijack two Boeing 767 commercial airliners and fly them directly into the north and south towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, FBI director Robert Mueller told reporters. Furthermore, we have it on very good authority that on the same day, insurgents are also plotting to commandeer two Boeing 757 aircrafts and crash them into the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol building. While we realize this is incredibly alarming news, we encourage all Americans not to panic, Mueller continued. However, anyone working inside or around the World Trade Center or D.C.-area government facilities on Sept. 11, 2001, is urged to evacuate the area and remain at least five miles from those locations. If you are planning on flying that morning on American Airlines Flight 11, United Airlines Flight 175, American Airlines Flight 77, or United Airlines Flight 93, we strongly advise you to cancel your plans and stay at home. And if you have any loved ones who will be in those areas 11 years ago, please get in touch with them right away and make sure they are aware of the situation. The man the FBI believes may be plotting a major terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2001. According to Mueller, President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta have already been made aware of the plot, as well as former President George W. Bush, former Vice President Dick Cheney, and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. In addition, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg and former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani have been briefed on the attacks expected to come approximately 132 months ago. Mueller also said officials at Newark, Logan, and Dulles international airports have been informed to tighten security measures and remain on high alert for any suspicious activity on the day in question. The FBI chief confirmed that while the information is still very fresh, the bureau is already hard at work attempting to decipher the precise details surrounding the plot. We have already begun a large-scale investigation into the individuals purportedly planning these attacks, said Mueller, adding that the head of the militant group allegedly responsible for the plot has been identified as deceased al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. The current whereabouts of Khalid Sheik Mohammed, a Kuwaiti terrorist operative believed to be orchestrating the hijackings, are estimated to be somewhere in the Guantnamo province of Cuba. We have offered a $25 million reward for his capture, and we are happy to say that he has already been apprehended and brought into U.S. custody. Sources confirmed that the plot was revealed due to newly uncovered FBI intelligence in the form of phone calls and e-mails between al-Qaeda agents intercepted by counterterrorism experts; alerts from the intelligence agencies and governments of Italy, Jordan, the United Kingdom, and Egypt regarding an impending major attack on American soil using hijacked airplanes; testimony from a number of terror suspects under interrogation; an Aug. 6, 2001, presidential briefing titled Bin Laden Determined To Strike In U.S.; millions of pictures of the burning Twin Towers and subsequent rubble at Ground Zero; hundreds of national news and radio broadcasts; interviews with witnesses and first responders at the scene; countless newspaper articles; candlelight vigils and memorial services around the world for victims of the tragedy; videos of al-Qaeda leaders taking credit for the attacks; the 2006 Oliver Stone film World Trade Center; and thousands of hours of archived footage on YouTube of the planes flying into the buildings. Mueller also cited the 2004 9/11 Commission Report as the agencys most comprehensive and reliable source of intelligence confirming the likelihood of the attacks. Certain details are obviously still unclear, Mueller said. However, I can now say with confidence that on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, a total of 19 terrorists plan to smuggle small knives, box cutters, and cans of mace or pepper spray on board four commercial jets; kill many of the crew members; and barricade the cockpits before rerouting the planes toward their intended targets. Rest assured, however, that these threats are not something we take lightly, and we will act accordingly. Thankfully, we caught this early, Mueller added. Theres no telling what inexplicable horrors these attacks could have caused had we not seen them coming. 
3	Why Monsantos Cure For World Hunger Is Cursing The Global Food SupplySayer Ji The researchers found that concentrations of glyphosate (GLY) consistent with the type of exposures associated with standard spraying practices in GM agricultural and neighboring ecosystems reduced the honeybees sensitivity to nectar reward and impaired their learning abilities two behavioral consequences likely to adversely affect their survival abilities. Moreover, while sub-lethal doses were not found to overtly affect their foraging behavior, they hypothesized that because of their resilience, ..forager bees could become a source of constant inflow of nectar with GLY traces that could then be distributed among nest mates, stored in the hive and have long-term negative consequences on colony performance. A Deeper Look at the New Study: Roundup Interferes with Bee Appetite and Learning Roundup herbicide is a ubiquitous toxicant, with an accumulating body of research now showing it is a common contaminant in our air, water, rain, soil and food, and in physiologically relevant concentrations (even the part-per-trillion concentration range demonstrates endocrine disruptive and potentially carcinogenic properties) to microbial, insect, animal and human life. When Roundup herbicide was first evaluated for toxicity to the honeybee, the focus was on acute toxicity of the active ingredient and not sub-lethal and prolonged exposure effects; and certainly not the amplified toxicological synergies present in glyphosate formulations like Roundup, which when the so-called inert adjuvant ingredients (e.g. surfactants) are taken into account, have been found to be at least 125 times more toxic than glyphosate alone. By only taking into account acute toxicity as measured by the so-called LD50 (lethal dose, 50%) on the active ingredient, government regulators approved glyphosate as relatively harmless to honeybees prematurely. The researchers expanded on the topic: The authors of the new study set out to test whether doses of glyphosate bees would realistically encounter in the field (field-realistic doses) could affect their feeding behavior (appetitive behavior) in a deleterious manner. They exposed honeybees to field-realistic doses of glyphosate chronically and acutely, and observed: a reduced sensitivity to sucrose and learning performance for the groups chronically exposed to GLY concentrations within the range of recommended doses, as well as significant decrease in elemental learning, non-elemental associative learning, and short-term memory retention, when exposed to acute GLY doses. This latest study is not the first to link glyphosate to the vanishing honeybee. Extensive research on the topic performed by Dr. Don D. Huber and summarized in an article published last year titled, Is glyphosate a contributing cause of bee colony collapse disorder (CCD)?, lead him to conclude that the 880 million pounds of glyphosate released into the environment worldwide has been contributing to the collapse of the honeybee. The paper revealed the following six ways that glyphosate could contribute to CCD: Other Factors Contributing to Colony Collapse While it is now increasingly acknowledged that many agrochemicals pesticides especially neonicotinoids are toxic to honeybees, there are other factors that likely play a role as well: It should be pointed out that the last factor listed infectious organisms are likely more a symptom than a cause of honeybee morbidity and mortality. In other words, following electromagnetic, agrochemical and dietary assault, the immune system of the honeybee and the collective immunity of the hive weakens, leading to greater susceptibility to opportunistic infections. One USDA study published in 2013 discussed the role of fungicidal contaminants in pollen leading to increased probability of Nosema fungal infection in bees who consumed pollen with a higher fungicide load.[3] This linkage between chemical exposure immune suppression, opportunistic infection, is especially poignant when it comes to Roundup herbicide, which profoundly alters the makeup of the beneficial flora in exposed organisms, leading to the overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria. A 2012 PloS study found that lactic acid bacteria living in the crop (the part of the bees alimentary canal that stores food prior to digestion) of bees are vitally important for the health of honeybees, with some strains suggesting a history of association with bees stretching over 80,000,000 years ago. Various chemical are capable of damaging this vitally important locus for the honeybees immunity and digestion, and are likely exerting their adverse effects through sub-lethal, hard to detect mechanisms. On Sept. 28th, 2011, Monsanto announced that it was acquiring the company Beeologics, whose explicit goal is to become the guardian of the bee health worldwide, including finding ways to address CCD. Here is their mission statement: A classical problem-solution approach, Monsanto creates a problem a systemic herbicide intended to save the world from hunger as part of its GMO Roundup-ready proprietary production system that actually destroys the pollinators required to maintain our global food supply and then capitalizes on a GM solution on the backend, with patented RNA interference solutions intended to, again, save the world from hunger.

2	Hillary Clinton Calls Trump A Racist, So He Retaliates In THIS Epic Way Following his controversial comments about Mexican immigrants being criminals and rapists, presidential hopeful Donald Trump has received immense backlash from the American public, business partners, and of course, other candidates. A few days ago, fellow candidate Hillary Clinton had a strong message for Trump: It was appalling to hear Donald Trump describe immigrants as drug dealers, criminals and rapists, Clinton told the National Council of La Raza. When people and business everywhere rejected his hateful comments, did he apologize? No. He doubled down. It is shameful and no one should stand for itI have just one word for Mr. Trump Basta! Enough! Of course, Clintons comments are partially trueTrump is standing firmly behind what he believes in. Hillary is not about to change that, and he made that very clear in his response to her. Read his statement below, courtesy of The Gateway Pundit: Failing candidate Hillary Clinton, who is desperately trying to hold on to her lead in the democratic primary against Bernie Sanders, is knowingly putting out lies about my stance on illegal immigration. I said Mexico is sending Im not knocking immigration or immigrants, but rather am very critical of the country of Mexico for sending us people that they dont want. Likewise I am very critical of illegal immigration and the tremendous problems including crime, which it causes. She is desperate, she is sad, and she is obviously very nervous when she has to revert to issues that have already been settled given the absolute accuracy of my statement. She speaks about my tone and thats the problem with our countrys leaders. They are more worried about tone than results! Its not about being nice its about being competent. Hillary should spend more time producing her illegally hidden emails and less time trying to obfuscate a statement by me that is totally clear and obviously very much accepted by the public as true. I am honored, however, that she is attacking me, instead of Jeb Bush. Obviously she knows that JEB is no longer her real competition. The last person she wants to face is Donald Trump. 
2	Obama Is Furious After Congress Blocks His Executive Order On Gun Control Congressman John Culberson, a Republican from Texas, is claiming that Obama cant issue an executive order that interferes with existing law. This means that any executive order on gun control Obama plans to issue will have to remain within the bounds of the Second Amendment. As Chairman of the Commerce, Justice and Science Appropriations Subcommittee, I have the authority and the duty to ensure that our hard-earned tax dollars are spent to enforce the law as written by Congress, Culberson said. Section 534 of the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Act, 2016 requires ATF to submit a spending plan for the fiscal year, and section 505 of the Act establishes the procedures for reprogramming funding. These powerful tools are available to the Appropriations Committee through the power of the purse vested in Congress by Article I, Section 9: No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law. Going forward, the ATF must reassure the nation that honest Americans have no reason to be concerned about these new regulations, or I will be compelled to object to portions of the ATF spending plan and to disapprove requests to reprogram spending within the agency, he continued. Every federal agency under the jurisdiction of the CJS Appropriations Subcommittee has a long history of complying with objections made by chairmen, and I am optimistic that Deputy Director Brandon will be able to reassure the nation that ATF will leave law-abiding Americans alone and that they will focus their efforts exclusively on criminals. It is also important for the Department of Justice and the White House to know that I added Section 740 to the Financial Services and General Government Act, 2016 to nullify the effect of the Presidents budget proposal. My language prohibits appropriated dollars from being used to increase, eliminate or reduce funding for a program, project, or activity as proposed in the Presidents budget request for a fiscal year until such proposed change is subsequently enacted in an appropriation Act, or unless such change is made pursuant to the reprogramming or transfer provisions of this or any other appropriations Act. Therefore, any proposal made by President Barack Obama tonight in his State of the Union that costs money has to be approved by the Appropriations Subcommittee chairmen of jurisdiction in a reprogramming request until and unless the Presidents proposal is approved by Congress in the new appropriation Act and signed into law, he said. We completely agree with him. Obama does not have the power to interfere with existing law. If he takes away our Second Amendment Right, he should be put in prison. Do you think an executive order on gun control would be unconstitutional? 
2	Obama Issues Despicable Command To Churches Across America You Will Be SICK [VIDEO] President Barack Obama stirred some serious controversy when speaking to Christian leaders at Georgetown University this weekend. During the event, he asked them to step back from divisive issues. I think it would be powerful for our faith-based organizations to speak out on this in a more forceful fashion, Obama claimed during the panel discussion. There is great caring and great concern, but when it comes to what are you really going to the bat for, whats the defining issuethis is often times viewed as a nice to have relative to an issue like abortion. The president went on to claim that he understands that he may be viewed as being self-interested in such matters, but argued that the churches will be sure to engage more followers if they are more open-minded. Nobody has shown that better than Pope Francis, Obama concluded. Who I think has been transformative just through the sincerity and insistence that this is vital to who we are, this is vital to following what Jesus Christ our Savior talked about. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is Obama trying to manipulate Christianity to fit his own agenda?

3	Dodging the Tuition Debt BulletAnna Hunt Some for example PhDs and medical students will enter the work force with the burden of a six-figure student loan debt. As a result of high tuition fees in the US, the student loan debt stands at about $1.2 trillion and is the second-highest form of consumer debt in the country. The US Institute for College Access and Success reports that two-thirds of todays students will leave college in significant debt, estimated to average at $26,600. These staggering statistics make it difficult to realize that many colleges in the US were either free or very inexpensive only a few decades ago. In 1970, average tuition and fees for a 4-year state university averaged around $500 for a public school and $1,900 for a private institution. In the 2013-2014 school year, in-state tuitions averaged about $9,000 for a public 4-year university and $30,000 for a private 4-year school. None of these fees include room and board, books, supplies and other living expenses. As a result, young adults graduating from college start their careers under pressure to find a good-paying job because they are already buried under mounds of debt. Interestingly, many countries throughout Europe either offer free higher education or place a cap of what universities can charge. The notable exception is the UK, whose government lifted the 3,000 tuition fee cap in 2010, resulting in many students now failing to pay back student loans at such rates that it seems to be costing the UK government more money than they would have saved keeping the cap system in place, as reported by The Guardian. Despite this, the UK tuition fees are still capped at $14,550 per year, a fee that many (wealthier) parents of American students would gladly pay. On the other end of the spectrum, Germany has recently abolished tuition fees, which were already extremely low, making higher education free throughout the entire country. In Germany, the government has been committed to making higher education universally available to everyone. Although the Constitutional Court ruled in 2006 that limited fees and loans were allowed, the motion proved unpopular and German states that allowed fees for a short few years once again made them unlawful. Even during the timeframe when Germans had to pay for undergraduate study, tuition fees were completely reasonable if youre from the US at around EURO500 (~$630) per semester. We got rid of tuition fees because we do not want higher education which depends on the wealth of the parents. ~Gabrielle Heinen-Kjajic, Minister for Science and Culture, Lower Saxony, Germany In Germany, it is believed that tuition fees discourage young people from pursuing academic studies, especially if that is not part of their family tradition and history. In the US, the situation is much different. During high school, tremendous pressure is put on high school students to go to college, making them believe that a college degree is an absolute necessity to getting a good paying job, finding a fulfilling career and being able to afford all the necessities of modern living. Trade and blue-collar jobs are often belittled, although trade and technical careers in the US are lacking qualified job candidates and are pursued by college graduates competing in an over-saturated market lacking well-paying, stable jobs. In todays economy, the difference in the average income of a college graduate, when compared to a high school graduate, isnt as significant as it was a few decades ago. An average salary of a high-school graduate is about $653/week and that of a bachelors degree holder is about $1,300/week. The trade-off is starting work with $26,000-$27,000 of school debt. Lets also consider that all major universities in the US have installed a plethora of ATMs throughout their campuses, resulting in a combined average school and credit card debt of US college graduates in 2013 at $35,200. Keep in mind: most student loans are not interest free. If youre lucky to be locked into the lowest possible interest rate around 3.8% the average figure of $26,600 in student loans, compounded for interest year over year using the standard 10-year-payback plan, translates into a total of $38,600, meaning a $320 monthly payment towards your student loan over the next 10 years. God forbid you lose your first post-graduation job or realize you hate your first job and realize youre not even sure you want to pursue the career you chose when you were 19! Its no surprise that about 11% of US 20-somethings are on antidepressants (and in the UK the number is estimated at a staggering 25%!) Researchers revealed that the top three causes of stress are money worries, work problems and lack of sleep. DailyMail.co.uk So what can todays young people do about this? Perhaps thebest coursefor a free qualitycollege education is tolearn multiple languages and explore opportunities with universities in Europe that offer English-speaking courses. For example, English is becoming more commonly used as the primary language for courses in German universities, to the point where it is possible to earn your entire degree or complete a full course in Germany without having taken a single German language class. Todays reality for US teenagers, or anyone seeking a college degree, is that learning an additional language or two German, Spanish, Dutch, French, etc. could mean a top-quality college education abroad and the freedom to enter the workforce with curiosity and passion, and a much lower debt burden. Do you feel this change is likely within the next 10 years?

Then he expressed his disgust and wrath against the criminal foreign policies of the Western elite and its submission to foreign financial and interests groups, before scolding his colleagues who voted for interventionist war with fuck yous. Finally, he says that the war on terror is a lie and that 9/11 was a false flag to justify aggressive military action in the Muslim world. Click on the Captions icon to get the English subtitles.

3	NSA Able to Target Off-Line Computers Using Radio WavesChris Carrington According to the report: The secret technology uses covert radio waves transmitted from small circuit boards and USB cards clandestinely inserted into targeted computers, The New York Times reported. The waves can then be sent to a briefcase-sized relay station intelligence agencies can set up just miles away, according to NSA documents, computer experts and US officials. The radio frequency technology which often needs to be physically inserted by a spy, manufacturer or unwitting user has helped US spies access computers that global adversaries have gone to great lengths to protect from surveillance or cyber-attack. The NSA calls use of the infiltration software and radio technology all part of a program known as Quantum -active defenseagainst cyber-attacks, though it has condemned use of similar software by Chinese attackers against American companies or government agencies. Whats new here is the scale and the sophistication of the intelligence agencys ability to get into computers and networks to which no one has ever had access before,James Andrew Lewis, cyber security expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, told The Times.Some of these capabilities have been around for a while, but the combination of learning how to penetrate systems to insert software and learning how to do that using radio frequencies has given the U.S. a window its never had before. Edward Snowden has released documents showing the locations of around 100,000 implanted computers around the globe, and last month Der Spiegel published details of the NSA ANT product data. The debacle over the NSA and its techniques has circled the globe, and theres no sign yet that the firestorm of accusation against the department is going to stop anytime soon.

2	The Supreme Court Unanimously Gives Obama The Middle Finger According to reports, the Supreme Court made a unanimous decision to limit the presidents authority to fill high-level positions with temporary appointments. The decision marks the first time any ruling has been made regarding the Constitutions recess appointment clause. It was centered on Obamas 2012 appointments to the National Labor Relations Boarda decision he made without Senate confirmation. President Obama argued that the Senate was in an extended recess, and was only holding short sessions every few days. The court decided, however, that the Senate was not in a formal recess at the time. The ruling will have an impact on the White House in years to come, especially if Republicans gain control of the Senate. What do you think of the ruling? 
3	Is There Going To Be A Stock Market Crash In The Fall?Michael Snyder, Contributor The truth is that the second half of 2012 looks a little bit more like the second half of 2008 with each passing day. Just check out what Bob Janjuah of Nomura Securities has been saying. Based on the reasons set out earlier and also covered in my two prior notes, over the August to November period I am looking for the SP500 to trade off down from around 1400 to 1100/1000 in other words, I expect over the next four months to see global equity markets fall by 20% to 25% from current levels and to trade at or below the lows of 2011! US equity markets, along with parts of the EM spectrum, will I think underperform eurozone equity markets, where already very little hope resides. Our strategists see an unusually high number of macro catalysts over the next 3-6 months that could take markets lower. We expect economic growth to disappoint in the second half of the year in anticipation of the fiscal cliff. This would exacerbate any slowdown from the deepening recession in Europe and decelerating growth in emerging markets. There is also the ongoing tension in the Middle East, the potential for a US credit downgrade and accelerating downward analyst estimate revisions. To top it off, September is seasonally the weakest month of the year for stock price returns. There has been an unusual amount of chatter in the financial world about the September to December time frame.That could mean something or it could mean nothing.But is is very interesting to watch what some top financial insiders are doing with their stocks right now. Dennis Gartman, the publisher of the Gartman Leter, has dumped all of his stocks at this point. As I have written about previously, George Soros has dumped all of his stock in banking giants JP Morgan, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs. Are they just being paranoid? Or do they know something that we do not? If you are looking for the next Lehman Brothers moment in the United States, you might want to watch Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley was heavily involved in the Facebook IPO disaster, earlier this year their credit rating was downgraded, and now there are persistent rumors that Morgan Stanley is in big trouble and that it will be allowed to fail. You can check out some of these rumors for yourself here, here and here. But of course as I have said all along the center of the coming crisis is going to be in Europe, and many analysts agree with me. For example, the following is what the chairman of Casey Research, Doug Casey, had to say during a recent interview. Europe is a full cycle ahead of the U.S. Its governments and its banks are both bankrupt. Its a couple of drunks standing on the street corner holding each other up at this point. Europe is in much worse shape than the U.S. Its highly regulated, highly taxed and much more socially unstable. Europe is going to be the epicenter of the coming storm. Japan is waiting in the wings, as is China. This is going to be a worldwide phenomenon. Of course, the U.S. will be in it, too. Were going to see this all over the world. Much of southern Europe is already experiencing depression-like conditions. Unemployment in both Greece and Spain is well above 20 percent and both economies are steadily shrinking. Money is flowing out of Spanish banks at an unprecedented rate right now. Just take a look at these charts. The only thing that is going to keep the Spanish banking system from totally collapsing is outside intervention. But the truth is that all of Europe is in big trouble. Even German companies are slashing job right now. For example, check out what Siemens is up to. German engineering conglomerate Siemens (SIEGn.DE) is in early internal talks to cut thousands of jobs in response to a weakening economy, particularly in Europe, a German newspaper reported. Decisions could be made in October or November, according to daily Boersen-Zeitung, which did not specify its sources. A Siemens spokesman declined to comment. We are living in the greatest debt bubble in the history of the world, and at some point that bubble is going to burst in a very messy way. It is vital that people understand that our system is not even close to sustainable. Knowing exactly when it will collapse is not nearly as important as understanding that a collapse is absolutely inevitable. I think what former World Bank economist Richard Duncan had to say recently is very helpful. The explosion in credit drove economic growth in the U.S. and around the world, and now thats the only thing thats keeping us from collapsing in a debt/deflation spiral, he said. [What] I think everybody needs to understand is that the kind of economy that we have now, its not capitalism. It has very little in common with capitalism. Capitalism was an economic system in which the government played very little role . Under capitalism, gold was money and the government had nothing to do with it. Now the central bank creates the money and manipulates its value. And he is very right.We arent seeing a failure of capitalism.What we are witnessing is the failure of debt-based central banking. And if you think that the global elite are not aware of what is happening then you have not been paying attention. This summer the global elite have been preparing very hard. Either they are getting very paranoid or they know things that we do not. If you want to catch up on what the global elite have been up to recently, check out these three articles that I have published previously. If you are waiting for the nightly news to tell you what to do, then you have not learned anything. Did anyone in the mainstream media warn you about what was about to happen back in 2008? Of course not. The authorities insisted that everything was going to be just fine and many average Americans were absolutely wiped out. So dont expect someone to come along and nicely inform you that your retirement savings are about to be absolutely devastated. In this day and age it is absolutely critical for people to learn to think for themselves. Barack Obama is not going to save you. Mitt Romney is not going to save you. The U.S. Congress is not going to save you. They are too busy living the high life at taxpayer expense. Average folks like you and I are normally not so fortunate. There are lots of warning signs that indicate that this fall could be a very turbulent time for global financial markets. Ignore them at your own peril.

1	Responding swiftly to 'a severe lawncare crisis' in the Southern U.S., a division of U.N. peacekeepers was pulled from Bosnia and deployed to media mogul Ted Turner's estate for emergency groundskeeping Monday. 'The deteriorating condition of Mr. Turner's lawn represents a major international crisis that demands immediate attention,' U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan said. If the troops complete their mission early, they will receive several days' furlough before being assigned to domestic duty within Turner's mansion. 
1	Onlookers were left incredibly bewildered Thursday after coming across an inexplicable roadside memorial that featured only a bicycle, a rotary telephone, and some sort of jug, sources confirmed. The bike part I get, but I really dont understand how the jug and the old phone could possibly figure in to whatever happened here, said local resident James McDermott, 31, adding that while he assumes the deceased was killed by a car while biking, the tribute as a whole just doesnt add up. Maybe he liked using landlines? He could have been one of those people who refuses to carry a cell phone. That still doesnt explain the jug, though. Oh, God, what if these are just random possessions his family found in his closet and thought maybe they were things he might have liked? Holy shit, thats depressing. Witnesses reportedly became even more confused after a weeping woman visited the memorial and quietly set down flowers, a broom, and a pair of needle-nose pliers. 
2	Hillary Clinton Regretfully Caught Being Paid Off MILLIONS To Do THIS Hillary Clintons campaign has been hit time and time again. Its no ones fault but her own, as she seems to get caught up in every scandal possible. Its even looking like Bernie Sanders might overtake her as the Democratic nominee, as he has taken the lead in Iowa and New Hampshire. After being attacked again and again on the insane amount of money she was receiving for her campaign, she finally came forward with a confession. On an interview with Meet The Press, Hillary said that on her last speech alone, she was paid $200,000 for giving a lot of interest in the bin Laden raid. Here is a more complete version of the interview, we picked out the most important parts: Todd: As you know, your opponent Senator Sanders has been hitting you on Wall Street contributions and including paid speeches you did for Goldman Sachs among other banks. Let me ask you this why do you think one of these big banks paid you over $200,000 for a speech. Clinton: Look, I gave speeches to a wide array of groups from health care groups to auto dealers and many, many more and I think what they were interested in because what we talked about was the world coming off of four years as secretary of state in a complicated world, people were interested in what I saw, what I thought, they asked questions about matters that were on their minds. A lot of interest in the bin Laden raid, how such a tough decision was made and what I advised the president. You know, I think Americans who are doing business in every aspect of the economy want to know more about the world. I actually think its a good conversation for people to be having. Todd: You dont think they expect anything in return? It seems that Hillary will do whatever is necessary to pay the bills and get elected. Her interests are not with the American people, only in herself. She has lied and deceived our country one too many times. Do you think Hillary should be dropped from the running? 
2	BREAKING: Trumps Children Finally Come Forward With Shocking Admission... Unbelievable Donald Trump has been dominating headlines ever since he announced his intention to run for president in 2016. He has been the target of liberal backlash, meanwhile, the polls reveal him as the frontrunner in the race for the GOP nomination. Now, the GOP is on a mission to take Trump down. The Trump family has been relatively silent about the whole thing, but now, his three oldest children are coming to his defense. Our father, Donald J. Trump is a true visionary and a great mention, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric said in a statement. He is a brilliant negotiator with a proven track record of getting things done. Most importantly, he is an incredible dad and role model, they continued. He raised us to work hard and strive for excellence in all that we do. We love and respect him very much. What do you think? Do you support the Trumps? 
3	IDF officer says he regrets attacking Danish activist in front of camerasMadison Ruppert, Contributor Reflecting just how disturbingly callous some of the supporters of the terrorist state of Israel have become, Eisner said of the incident, It could have been a professional mistake to use a weapon in front of the cameras, to Israels Channel 10. The video, which is nothing short of brutal and can be seen below, shows that Eisner, who was deputy commander of the IDFs Jordan Valley brigade, according to Forward, struck the Danish Andreas Ias in the face with absolutely no justification. [Note: the video has been age restricted by YouTube so you might have to sign in to watch the troubling video.] The decision to bar Eisner from holding command positions was partially due to recommendations from the GOC Central Command Nitzan Alon and Sami Turgeman, commander of the Israel Defense Forces ground forces. Gantz also indicated that there were issues with how the soldiers handled the confrontation that ensued, although the IDF is hardly known for handling protest situations tenderly. Eisner was set to receive the rank of first lieutenant, which makes one wonder if this is the way that all well-trained, high-ranking IDF soldiers treat activists when there arent cameras around to hold them accountable. He will now be transferred to a senior staff position while being barred from carrying out a command position in the IDF for a mere two years. In 2014 Eisner will be allowed to return to a command position if he fulfills the necessary requirements. It was a two minute confrontation, Eisner said. So yes, its true that some pictures look bad, but I used a weapon in a cold manner, as a stick. I didnt kill anyone and I did not put anyones life in danger. That is hardly an accurate claim given that considering the force, rigidity of the object and potential cranial injury which could be sustained in falling to the ground, the attack did, in fact, put Ias life in danger. He also said that he believes his decision to assault Ias led to the protesters calling off the demonstration. In speaking with Haaretz, Ias said that the IDFs claim that the protesters were violent was completely untrue. He called the claim a complete lie, adding that the activists just wanted to enjoy the bike tour and the view. If I thought this would happen I would have protected myself, it came out of nowhere, said Ias, a contention which is supported by the visual evidence. Ias said that he is not only seeking out legal representation to go over his options for legal recourse, but he is also submitting an official complaint. Ias also said he was not the only one who was attacked that day, indeed he stated that two other female activists were injured and other officers pushed protesters to the ground. However, he was placed in an ambulance after he was attacked and was unable to see what went on. Furthermore, the Danish ambassador to Israel said on Monday that the Danish government is seeking clarifications over the incident. Eisner seems to be completely opposed to accepting any responsibility for his actions whatsoever, saying that he does not accept this as a moral failure in any way. Speaking of the statements form Ias indicating that the activists were not in any way violent, Eisner said, These stories do not interest the Chief of Staff or my Front Commander, while he did admit there are a few questions remaining. We know the history of these anarchists, Eisner nonsensically stated. They came with sticks and broke my hand but no one will tell or film that. There is a question here of what is more important to carry out the mission or to look good (in pictures). I claim the mission is important enough, Eisner said. One must wonder what the mission he is referring to actually is. Is the mission he is so proud of and ready to get violent over the illegal expansion of Israel? Or is it the oppression and subjugation of the Palestinian people? Or is it flouting international law whenever possible and spitting in the face of the international community and the entire notion of human rights? What if they would film IDF soldiers backing down from an angry crowd? That sounds good? What, Id let them block roads? Id let them endanger lives? Eisner added. Thankfully even hardliners like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arent siding with Eisner. Netanyahu condemned the assault and Israeli President Shimon Peres said he was shocked by the incident. Such behavior does not characterize IDF soldiers and officers and has no place in the Israel Defense Forces and in the State of Israel, Netanyahu said. While such a statement is great coming from someone like Netanyahu, one must realize that the punishment (or lack thereof) meted out to Eisner is laughable. Maybe the Danish will do something about one of their own citizens being savagely attacked for no apparent reason, but if they are like the United States they will do absolutely nothing.

1	Hoping the activity would help the presidential contenders burn off some excess energy, Fox News producers reportedly attempted to tire out the group of aggressive GOP candidates before Thursdays debate by letting them run around outside. You could tell they had a lot of pent-up energy, because after we opened the back door to the theatre, Cruz just bolted out, followed by Trump, Kasich, and Rubio, said producer Douglas Bowman, adding that the wound-up candidates quickly burned off steam by racing around, jumping up and down, and wrestling on the ground with each other in the lot behind Detroits Fox Theatre. At first, Cruz wouldnt stop spinning around and screaming policy proposals at the top of his lungs, but he got worn out pretty quickly and went to join Rubio, who was whipping clumps of dirt at a garbage can. I tried to keep an eye on them, but Kasich still got a bloody nose when Trump tried to put him in a headlock. At press time, a tuckered-out Trump was reportedly dozing off right in the middle of an insult. 
2	BREAKING: Carrying A Gun In THESE 9 States Was Just Banned In a mind-blowing ruling, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals just decided that the Second Amendment does not protect the right of individuals to carry a concealed weapon for the purpose of self-defense. And 11-judge panel voted 7 to 4 to uphold an anti-gun law in California that requires those seeking a concealed carry permit to show a good reason above and beyond their natural right of self-defense in order to be approved to carry this type of permit. This comes after a federal judge recently shot down an almost identical law in Washington, D.C. Essentially, the 9th Circuit justices just gave permission on a ban on concealed carry at the state and county level in the nine states under their jurisdiction. Those states include: Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. 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, Alabama Attorney General Luther said in a statement denouncing the courts ruling. 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. Strange filed a friend of the court brief, joined by 20 other states, challenging the ban in the original case, Peruta v. San Diego County. Strange maintained the prohibition makes it impossible for citizens to use them for the core lawful purpose of self-defense and is hence unconstitutional. The sheriffs department admits that, under this system, the typical person cannot qualify for a concealed carry permit for personal protection. This is absolutely outrageous. The Second Amendment is a pre-existing natural right that is guaranteed by the Constitution. What do you think of these reports? 
3	The Coming Water WarsThe 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 Professor Carroll Quigley, Mentor to President Bill Clinton Very soon, America will be forced into water wars in order to secure the precious asset of water for our people. This will force our people into more wars of occupation in a search for water. Meanwhile, every nation that America conquers, is one less country that the bankers have to worry about taking over. At the end of the day, if America wants water, someday, Americans will have to go to war to obtain water. As any aware person knows, Agenda 21 is being used as a front for the purpose of increasing the bottom of line of select global corporations. Bolivia is being exploited to this end and is serving as the canary in the mine with regard to what lies ahead for the United States and the coming water wars. The United States sits upon a fiscal cliff. Economic devastation is in the cards for the United States. Many wonder what will happen when the country defaults and cannot pay its bills. The answer is simple, our country will enter receivership. Once receivership is thrust upon our country, the bankers will begin to take control of our assets. Among the prize assets coveted by the globalist bankers will be our water supply. Soon, very soon, our water supplies will become the most expensive in the world. Obtaining water for many Americans will soon be a life and death struggle. Global consumption of water is doubling every 20 years, more than twice the rate of human population growth (United Nations Development Program, 2007). Also, according to the United Nations, more than one billion people already lack access to fresh drinking water (United Nations Developmental Program, 2007). If the current trend continues, by 2025 the demand for fresh water is expected to rise by over 50% more than the amount of water that is currently available. Multinational corporations recognize these trends and are trying to monopolize water supplies around the world. Monsanto, Bechtel, and other global multinationals are seeking control of world water systems and supplies. The World Bank recently adopted a policy of water privatization and full-cost water pricing. The World Banks policy of privatizing the worlds water supply conveniently coincides with the United Nations Agenda 21. Agenda 21 is actively promoting the privatization for the worlds water supplies through a water for profit scheme. (i) At the lowest appropriate level, delegation of water resources management, generally, to such a level, in accordance with national legislation, including decentralization of government services to local authorities, private enterprises and communities (United Nations Environment Program, 2007). After reading the comforting manner in which Agenda 21 addresses the coming water crisis, we should all be able to sleep soundly at night. Unfortunately, this does not prove to be the case when one considers what has happened to Bolivia s indigenous peoples access to fresh water. Agenda 21s strategy for privatizing the worlds water is quite simple: The United Nations financial partner, the World Bank, and its associated set of central banks around the planet, cripples a nations economy, largely through the use of fiat currency and forced assumption of bankers derivative debt. Subsequently, the World Bank attempts to resuscitate that nations economy through a series of regime saving loans. World Bank loans offer the hope of staving off massive human suffering resulting from a lack of basic necessities, staggering unemployment and all the other accompanying variables which could lead to a violent overthrow of a nations political power structure. However, the terms of a typical World Bank loan would make the most adept loan shark green with envy. Often, as a precondition to receiving the loan, the World Bank imposes some very draconian conditions, such as the privatization of the basic necessities of life (e.g. water) from which their corporate partners derive great economic benefit. Nowhere has this scheme been played out more directly than in the late 1990s and the early 2000s in Bolivia . The first large scale, dry run of Agenda 21s plan to privatize water, took place in Bolivia when someone at the World Bank flipped a switch and demanded the privatization of Bolivia s water supplies as a precondition for massive debt relief. In 1995, the government of Bolivia owed nothing. However, Bolivia did owe the World Bank enormous sums of money. Like a heroin addict, the Bolivian government became dependent on its financial drug dealer, the World Bank. Predictably, repaying Bolivian debt, to the World Bank, was plunging the Bolivian people and its government into the abyss of abject poverty and despair (Watson, 2003). In Cochabamba , Bolivia , a city of 800,000 people, the public water system of El Alto and its neighbor La Paz , the nations capital, was privatized in 1997. In a classic conflict of interest case, the private consortium that took control of the water, Aguas del Illimani, is a subsidiary of Bechtel, and a set of minority shareholders that includes, among others, an arm of the World Bank (Watson, 2003). Within weeks of taking over the citys public water company, Bechtel hiked up rates by as much as 200%, far beyond what the citys poor could afford to pay. The Bolivian poor, with a lack of access to clean water, have nearly one in ten children die before they reach the age of five. Adding insult to injury, families living in El Altos outskirts rely on well water in which community representatives say are contaminated with industrial waste (Watson, 2003). When all legitimate avenues of securing fresh water were blocked by Bechtel, including the prohibition of collecting rain water in homemade pots and pans, the Bolivian people took to the streets and an ongoing pattern of street violence ensued until Bechtel exercised the better half of discretion and exited the country. Mark my words, when we do this in America, follow our coming contrived water shortage, Americans will be met with 44,000 drones and DARPA killer robots. Bolivias past is Americas future. Why the American people have only heard a whimper about these corporate abuses at the hands of the San Francisco based Bechtel Corporation, the World Bank and the United Nations Agenda 21. In order to answer that question, one has to ask: Who is Bechtel owned by? Bechtel is a subsidiary of General Electric. General Electric owns NBC (Media Owners.com, 2005). Perhaps this is why the reporting of this tale of human abuse so sparsely reported in the United States . How interconnected are the global corporations to the United States Government, the United Nations and Agenda 21? Consider the following list of Bechtel employees who have moved into major policy making positions both in the United States Government and the United Nations. Bechtels CEO, Riley P. Bechtel, served on the President Bushs (43) Export Council (4/24/03) Reagans Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinburger was a former Bechtel general counsel. W. K. Davis was a Bechtel vice-president for nuclear development before he was appointed as Reagans Deputy Secretary of Energy and administrative head of the Atomic Energy Commission. William Casey a former Bechtel consultant served in a number of government positions including chairman of the SEC under Nixon, head of the Export-Import bank under President Ford, and director of the CIA under Reagan. Richard Helm, who later became a consultant to Bechtel, had earlier been a CIA director under Nixon. William Simon, Nixons Treasury secretary, was hired by Bechtel as a consultant. Ross Connelly, CEO of Bechtel Energy Resources Corporation (retired), was appointed by George W. Bush (41) in June of 2001 to the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC). The OPIC has strong connections to the United Nations privatization projects. Stew Burkhammer, a current Bechtel executive, is presently a member of the Occupational Safety and Health Administrations (OSHA) Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health (Cooperative Research, 2006). Marie-Franoise of Bechtel (France), Conseiller dEtat, From 1979 to 1980, she was Consultant of the United Nations Asian and Pacific Development Center (United Nations Committee of Experts on Public Administration, 2007) The connections between these groups can be further exemplified by the following: United Resolution 1483 (UN Security Council, 2003), approved the occupation of Iraq by American and British forces, thus making Iraq into a de facto colony. As such, this opened door for a corporate feeding frenzy by companies such as Bechtel as they lined up to repair Iraq following Gulf War II. Subsequently, Bechtel received a $1.03 billion contract to oversee major reconstruction of Iraq s water and sewage. In spite of Bechtels promises, Iraqi families continue to lack access to clean water. The company made providing Southern Iraqs potable water one of its top priorities in which Bechtel promised delivery within 60 days following the commencement of the project. Within a year, Iraqi people still were suffering through epidemics of water-borne illnesses (e.g., cholera, kidney stones and diarrhea). Bechtel failed to live up to its word, but they did make a lot of money (Weston, 2003). And some people think that the United Nations is merely a benign and benevolent organization which is essentially neutral on all areas of politics and finance. Today, the stock holders of Bechtel have the United Nations to thank, in large part, for that extra vacation, their kids braces and the addition to their homes. Bechtel is a major player in the evolving struggle to control the worlds future water supply. Bechtel and its peers have quietly been securing the rights to control the production and distribution of this essential resource and fully intend to make huge profits in the future when, as experts predict, water becomes a significantly scarce commodity (Watson, 2003). As a footnote, in the face of 52 civilian deaths of Bechtel personnel, at the hands of insurgent terrorists, Bechtel did not withdraw from Southern Iraq . However, when its infrastructure projects came under fire from the insurgents, costing the corporation millions of dollars, Bechtel ceased operations in Southern Iraq . By the way, it was Bechtel which sold Saddam its chemical stockpile of weapons in his 1980s war with Iran. This was followed by invading Iraq because it possessed weapons of mass destruction. I also found it interesting that Hillary Clinton was on the Board of Directors for Bechtel at the time of the sale of the weapons of mass destruction to Iraq (August 6th Coalition, 2006). Before the fall of the Shah of Iran, under President Jimmy Carter, Bechtel was contracted to build Iran s first nuclear power plant. As was the case with Saddam Hussein, Iran s government is still standing in the way of unfettered investment by the global corporations. Iran , the only Middle Eastern oil-rich country which will not likely capitulate to President Bushs plans for a Middle East Free Trade Area, is now being threatened by the United States military, And remember, free trade is the one of the cornerstones of the UNs Agenda 21. This makes one wonder who former President Bush really worked for. I could have chosen any number of global corporations (e.g., Monsanto, Halliburton, etc.) to illustrate this abuse of humanity. The Bechtel Corporation is but one small corporate example of this disturbing trend. In the era of globalization, flying under the banner of Agenda 21s policy of global sustainability, transnational corporations circle the globe looking for opportunities for profit, putting peoples livelihoods, survival and the environment at risk. Too often the global corporations victimize unsuspecting and impoverished people who can least afford to absorb the brunt of these profit generating schemes. These actions severely undermine national sovereignty and individual determinism. However, this process is not inevitable; or infallible, successful resistance is possible. However the clock is ticking and time is quickly running out. Do we think that this only happening in Bolivia? Similar projects are underway in Manilla, Pakistan and San Francisco. Yes, this is correct; Bechtel now has a contract with San Franciscos city government to upgrade the citys water system. Bechtel employees are working side by side with city workers in a privatization move that people-in-the-know fear will lead to an eventual take-over of San Francisco s water system and create a fiasco similar to the one in Bolivia (Chatterjee, 2000). The wolf is at the door. As the Roman Empire declined in influence and power, Feudalism replaced the nation-state government. The feudal lord was one of the few employers in the fourth and the fifth centuries. The feudal lords owned most of the land and nearly all the resources. Today, the specter of feudalism has shape-shifted into a global corporatocracy headed by the United Nations and Agenda 21. The global corporations are constructing this brand of neo-feudalism right before our eyes. Unfortunately, the people (i.e., Americans) who still have the power to stop it seem to possess the same vision-impairing flavor of glaucoma and refuse to see what is really happening. This is the same Agenda 21 plan which wants to use the power of behemoth banks and corporations, under the guise of United Nations sustainability rhetoric, in order to blackmail nations into allowing companies like Bechtel to assess a surcharge upon poor people and their at-risk children for daring to collect the rain water in homemade pots and pans. In the early part of this decade, Bolivians were asking each other, have you seen the rain in their unending search for fresh water. Much like a teenager being lured into financial devastation by being enticed to own their first credit card, national governments cannot resist the addiction of seemingly infinite credit which is made available through the use of unsecured, fiat currency. Through the reckless spending of various governmental entities, tremendous debt is created. As the debt reaches critical levels and financial catastrophe looms, the World Bank rides in on its black horse and offers a nation financial salvation. However, that financial salvation comes at a steep cost which usually includes the selling their national soul to the devil. All too frequently, this salvation involves the imposition of the political and financial agenda of the United Nations and its partner, the World Bank. And with an Obama QE4 looming on the other side of the fiscal cliff, America is close to being the next Bolivia. How long will it be until America becomes the next Bolivia ? With regard to Agenda 21, this is only the tip of the iceberg. When this country is bankrupted by the bankers, America will be leveraged into seeking water in foreign countries and we will be all to happy to invade countries that plenty of the resource that we no longer have. As the reader will discover in the second part of this series, the reader will discover that we dont just have to worry about a banker takeover of our water assets. we are being invaded from within. George H. W. Bush and T. Boone Pickens are buying up major water sources inside of our country as America is about to get hit on two fronts. I can see no other purpose behind this madness except that our military will be leveraged to invade, yet another set of countries.

3	Cops Fatally Shot the Lunging Pit Bull That Never WasAmanda Warren Such a legend had investigators in Coeur DAlene, Idaho, truly believing in the beast which they described as a vicious pit bull, saying it lunged at the officer. The problems is, of course, that its not possible. Does the upper-right picture look like a pit bull to you? It was a 2-year-old black lab named Arfie who was described as not having a mean bone in his body. Police were on the lookout, yesterday, for a guy in a white van who was thought to be looking at children from a parking lot, after owners of a coffee shop reported suspicious behavior that they thought could be connected to a child luring case. According to the department, an officer approached the van, allegedly with an open window, with his gun drawn and he said a pit bull lunged at his face. So he fired one round into the dogs chest and Arfie later died. Owner Craig Jones wasnt even in his vehicle he was eating breakfast nearby.This still isnt even real to me, he said to KREM 2 News. Imagine finding out after breakfast that your dog is dead because you were thought to be a perv and your dog, a pit bull. This is not the first time cops have simply shot at dogs BECAUSE PIT BULL! As Mrs. Sanchez pointed out, pit bull or not, there are other options. Sadly, for Jones and his late dog, police didnt identify much of anything. KREM reports: Coeur dAlene OD leaders said the officer who shot the dog was distraught following the incidence. Authorities also said they believe the child predator who has been spotted in a similar white van is still on the loose. Are these the types of justifications for randomly blasting away peoples dogs? The word distraught juxtaposed with child predator and still on the loose. Is that supposed to make people feel better about it in their minds? If this is the typical reaction to fear for safety, where no dogs have successfully killed a police officer before, then another career option is recommended post haste for everyones safety. 
1	Fed up with what they say is an incessant stream of advertisements for everything from automobiles to financial planning services, a frustrated American populace demanded more commercials featuring slow-motion footage of maple syrup cascading onto warm, golden-brown pancakes, sources confirmed Thursday. All were looking for when we watch TV is to see rich syrup pour slowly from a spout high above a plate, fall gently onto a big, fluffy shortstack, ooze down the sides, and come to rest in sweet, gooey pools beside some bacon, sausage, and eggs, said Missouri resident Joe Coombs, echoing the sentiments of all 317 million Americans, who additionally stressed that there was no limit to the number of replays or variety of camera angles they would watch of the syrup plunging onto the breakfast below. We further demand a dollop of butter centered on top of the pancakes, preferably one that's beginning to melt and intermingle with the aforementioned syrup. This is what we wantnay, insistto see for the entire two-to-three-minute break until our TV shows resume. At press time, the nation as a whole could be seen flipping channels in an attempt to find the money shot. 
3	Net Neutrality Solution is to Give Crony-Filled FCC Authority Over the Internet?selfnews Post The proposed solution is to reclassify Internet Service Providers (ISPs) as Common Carriers so that the FCC can regulate them which the FCC currently has no legal authority to do. Yet the video readily admits that the cable companies own and run the FCC, so how is the solution is to give a crony-filled agency more power? If the FCC is in the pocket of the monopoly men, why would you give them more power? The FCC (government) proposal to allow fast lanes is a red herring designed to scare the public into giving them more power. They literally created a phony problem that doesnt yet exist for Internet users, activists get lathered in anger in response and demand a solution. Classic problem-reaction-solution manipulation. Wed better be damn careful about the solutions what we advocate for. Heres a better solution:Abolish the FCC and eliminate all barriers to entry for new Internet Service Providers. This would prevent monopoly men from having a strongman in the FCC, while allowing true competition to flourish. 
3	Avaaz: The Online Pro-War Propagandist And Color Revolution NGOBy Brandon Turbeville According to its own website, since its creation in 2007, Avaazs mission is to organize citizens of all nations to close the gap between the world we have and the world most people everywhere want. It also states, Avaaz empowers millions of people from all walks of life to take action on pressing global, regional and national issues, from corruption and poverty to conflict and climate change. Our model of internet organising allows thousands of individual efforts, however small, to be rapidly combined into a powerful collective force. (Read about results on the Highlights page.) The Avaaz community campaigns in 15 languages, served by a core team on 6 continents and thousands of volunteers. We take action signing petitions, funding media campaigns and direct actions, emailing, calling and lobbying governments, and organizing offline protests and events to ensure that the views and values of the worlds people inform the decisions that affect us all. While Avaazs stated goals might sound laudable to many Americans, anyone who has observed the number of people power revolutions in Eastern Europe and the Middle East might recognize the language from the Avaaz website as indicative of the color revolution apparatus that has helped inflame the world over the last 5-7 years. Avaaz is, indeed, part of the color revolution apparatus, having apparently received funds from George Soros Open Society Foundation to start up in 2007. Avaaz was founded by Res Publica and Moveon.org, both Soros-funded organizations that attempt to co-opt the American left into supporting ideas and campaigns closely associated with the communitarian foundation oligarchs. In addition, a number of Avaaz founders and board members have close connections to Soros Open Society Foundations such as Eli Pariser (both a Board Member of OSF and a member of the Open Society US programs as well as Moveon.org) and Pedro Abramovay (the Regional Director For Latin America and the Caribbean at OSF, the Director of Latin America Programs at OSF and a campaign director of Avaaz). Conservative organization, Discover the Networks, published a summary of the connections between some of the founders of Avaaz. The website writes, Ricken Patel: A Canadian, Patel is both the executive director of Res Publica and president/executive director of Avaaz Eli Pariser: The executive director of MoveOn, Pariser is Avaazs board chairman and also serves on the advisory board of Res Publica. Tom Perriello: This former U.S. congressman from Virginia co-founded Res Publica and has been a longtime advocacy partner with Ricken Patel. Ben Brandzel: Formerly an advocacy director for MoveOn, Brandzel also served as director of new-media campaigns and fundraising for Barack Obamas Organizing for America. In addition, he worked for the presidential campaigns of Howard Dean and John Edwards. As one might suspect, despite its constant rhetoric regarding human rights, freedom, and democracy, Avaaz has openly supported violence, war, and imperialism. In 2011, Avaaz raised its voice as loudly as it could with demands that the EU, NATO, UN, and all other parties stop the violent crackdown on civilians in Libya. Translated: Avaaz called on the EU, NATO, UN, and all other parties to come to the rescue of jihadists that had been unleashed against the government and the people of Libya in order to overthrow Ghaddafi for the benefit of the NATO powers. Avaaz soon after turned its sights on Syria, the next country in line to suffer under NATOs attempt to destroy an uncooperative national government. As a sampling of the drivel Avaaz regularly released regarding Syria, Avaaz posted on its website the following transparent propaganda in an attempt to drum up support for a No Fly Zone in Syria: Its inspiring over 1 million people from across the world have joined the call to protect Syrian civilians. And an Avaaz-commissioned poll shows a majority of Americans supporting a targeted No Fly Zone to save lives. Right now, the US Congress and the UN are talking about how to protect Syrian civilians lets keep the pressure on for life-saving action! The Syrian air force just dropped chlorine gas bombs on children. Their little bodies gasped for air on hospital stretchers as medics held back tears, and watched as they suffocated to death. But today there is a chance to stop these barrel bomb murders with a targeted No Fly Zone. The US, Turkey, UK, France and others are right now seriously considering a safe zone in Northern Syria. Advisers close to President Obama support it, but he is worried he wont have public support. Thats where we come in. Lets tell him we dont want a world that just watches as a dictator drops chemical weapons on families in the night. We want action. One humanitarian worker said I wish the world could see what I have seen with my eyes. It breaks your heart forever. Lets show that the world cares sign to support a life-saving No Fly Zone. Obviously, the purpose of the post was to drum up support for a No-Fly Zone in Syria, tantamount to a direct military invasion of the country on the model of that which destroyed Libya and returned the country to the years shortly prior to the Stone Age. Such has even been admitted by top U.S. Generals when explaining exactly what a No Fly Zone would entail. As General Carter Ham stated, We should make no bones about it. It first entails killing a lot of people and destroying the Syrian air defenses and those people who are manning those systems. And then it entails destroying the Syrian air force, preferably on the ground, in the air if necessary. This is a violent combat action that results in lots of casualties and increased risk to our own personnel. General Philip Breedlove also echoed this description when he said, I know it sounds stark, but what I always tell people when they talk to me about a no-fly zone is . . . its basically to start a war with that country because you are going to have to go in and kinetically take out their air defense capability Also obvious was the glaringly false claim that Assads troops had dropped chemical weapons on Syrian civilians. The Syrian military has never been implicated in using chemical weapons against the Syrian people except in the pages of the Western mainstream press and the minds of a gullible public. Every use of chemical weapons has been, at some point, traced back to the Western-backed terrorists fighting against the Syrian government. Avaaz has also pushed for relocating Syrian refugees and Syrian refugees to England as a result of chlorine bombs falling from the sky in Syria. Avaaz thus used non-existent chlorine bombs falling from the sky to justify relocating refugees from a war zone that it is partly responsible for creating itself. Avaaz has posted dubious calls for help from Syrians such as this one, entitled Cry For Help In Syria, in Homs. Of course, while most Syrians are horrified at the state of war in which they find themselves as a result of the Western destabilization, the overwhelming majority of Syrians support their government and despise the Western-backed savages raping and beheading their way across the country. If one is interested in reading or listening to the opinion of a real Syrian, feel free to consult the videos and articles of Afraa Dagher, a true victim of the so-called civil war that would be more aptly named an invasion. Vanessa Beeley describes typical Avaaz treachery in her article, The Propaganda War Against Syria Led By Avaaz And The White Helmets. Beeley is referring to the Avaaz propaganda that emerged in the wake of the Russian attacks against ISIS and other related terrorists in Syria. Avaaz, of course, followed the State Department and NATO line that Russia was bombing the as-yet-undiscovered moderate rebels. She writes, Now lets examine the unsavoury marketing aspect of the propaganda campaign being waged by a frustrated and increasingly infuriated US alliance. Of course the usual triad has leapt into action. HRW, Avaaz and the White Helmets. Avaaz has produced one of its most poisonous and misleading petitions to date. The inevitable eyewitness statements claim that Russia targeted civilian areas utterly free of ISIS operatives. These statements are already rendered questionable by the evidence I have submitted above. When we watch the videos, particularly the longer Liveleak version, it is hard to detect the women and children that are being described. The majority of protagonists appear to be male and of fighting age. There is no evidence of civilian life among the deserted buildings, the only movement is of males, some on foot, some on scooters and presumably some taking the time to film events even as the bombs are falling. Not the actions of terrified, innocent civilians. Live Leak Video of Russian bombing of Homs There is one other video that does show about 2 seconds of a young boy crying and obviously injured. However this video must be questioned as to its authenticity as the claims are that the initial shot of planes overhead is not even of Russian planes. The quality of the video is poor and apart from the footage of the one child, again demonstrates that the majority of people involved are men of fighting age in a deserted built up area to the north of Homs. In this disgusting display of blatant propaganda calling for the long sought after no fly zone, Emma Ruby-Sachs, deputy director of Avaaz makes the extraordinary statement Russia says its bombing ISIS, but eyewitnesses say their brutal attacks targeted areas way outside of ISIS control. This will only sow instability and radicalisation and should be an urgent wake-up call to the US and its allies to enforce a targeted no-fly zone to save lives, counter ISIS and alleviate the refugee crisis. Syrians civilians need protection now, not further attacks from Russian bombs. Speaking to one Damascus resident this morning, I asked for their opinion on this statement. His reply was simple, I am just relieved that the Russian Air Force is in action. The hypocrisy of this statement from Ruby-Sachs perfectly mirrors the hypocrisy of Congress, Obamas Teflon speech at the UNGA, Pentagons barefaced obscurantism over the US role in creating exactly this instability and radicalisation in Syria and bringing misery, terror and bloodshed to the people of Syria with the sole aim of securing their interests in the region [and those of their staunchest partner in crimes against Humanity, Israel] If we wish to speak of civilian casualties perhaps we should turn the spotlight on the pre- existing Coalition bombing campaign. The civilian death rates from these strikes is rarely discussed and often concealed by the Pentagon and US/European associated analysts like the SOHR. Where for example was the Avaaz petition calling for a No Fly Zone when the coalition air strikes resulted in a multitude of non-combatant deaths including children? This report from Airwars reveals the disturbing numbers: Syria has also seen a number of troubling mass casualty events attributed to Coalition actions. On the first night of bombing on September 23rd 2014, US aircraft killed as many as 15 civilians in the village of Kafar Daryan. On December 28th at least 58 civilians reportedly died when the Coalition struck a temporary Daesh prison at al Bab (see report). And on April 30th 2015, 64 civilians died in a likely Coalition airstrike at Ber Mahli. In these three incidents alone, 106 non-combatant victims have so far been publicly named 38 of them children. It remains unclear whether any of these events have been investigated by the Coalition. Syrias civilians need a spanner putting in the spokes of this crushing propaganda vehicle that rides roughshod over their genuine needs with devastating consequences. Those needs are simple: stop lying, stop fabricating and stop creating, funding, arming and incubating the terrorist cancer in Syria. Yet Avaaz is not merely involved in the propaganda side of the war on national sovereignty and the people living in the countries resisting Anglo-American domination, it is and has been involved directly on the ground, particularly in Syria, in attempts to facilitate the so-called Arab Spring color revolution and other forms of Syrian activism (read: terrorism funded and supported by the West, the GCC, NATO, and Israel). Avaaz was instrumental in providing not only the online propaganda supporting terrorists and color revolution participants in Syria and back home in the West, but it was also helpful in providing material support such as technology, propaganda and tech training, and medical supplies to the terrorists on the ground. As Ed Pilkington wrote for the Guardian in his March, 2012 article, Avaaz Faces Questions Over Role At Center Of Syrian Protest Movement, Syria has certainly been risky. The group was quicker on the draw in responding to the first signs of the protest movement than most aid organisations, even than most media outlets that pride themselves in getting speedily to difficult places. To begin with, Avaaz sent a team of staff organisers to Lebanon after spotting the first signs of a nascent protest movement in Syria. Contact was then made with Syrian activists inside the country, and go-betweens recruited, notably Wissam Tarif, a highly respected Syrian pro-democracy leader who is widely consulted by journalists and senior western diplomats. From there its involvement in the Syrian Arab spring drew it steadily further and further into the conflict. First off Avaaz sent in hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of communications equipment satellite phones and internet connections known as BGANs that gave the protesters a link to the outside world. As with earlier Arab spring engagements in Tunisia and Libya, they realised that equipment alone was not enough: the protesters needed to know how to use it if they were to be effective. So Avaaz sent in trainers who could give grounding in how to use the smattphones as well as basic training in citizen journalism. Verification was a key element, says Patel. We could get stuff out, but the media didnt know what they were looking at, or couldnt be sure where it had come from. So we began playing the middle man, verifying information. That was in some ways the greatest value we brought to maintaining the oxygen of international attention on these protest movements. Reports coming from Avaaz-trained citizen journalists in Homs and other key conflict zones, channelled through the Avaaz communications hub outside the country, has been a major source of information on the uprising and the regimes bloody response, used by news outlets around the world. Getting in the equipment involved opening up smuggling routes across the Syrian border into hotbeds such as Homs and its most badly bombed neighbourhood, Baba Amr, which led Avaaz seemlessly into the next phase of its engagement. With the smuggling routes open, it could help get $2m of blood bags, tetanus shots, respiratory machines and other medical supplies into the country, bringing relief to communities that were desperate for help and that more establishment institutions like the ICRC had failed to reach. It has also smuggled 34 international journalists into the trouble zones. Marie Colvin, the Sunday Times journalist, entered using another conduit, but the French photographer Remi Ochlik who died with her as a result of Syrian government shelling was helped in by Avaaz. Thus, Avaaz finds itself among treacherous company humanitarian organizations like Doctors Without Borders, White Helmets, Human Rights Watch, and even Amnesty International. At the end of the day, Avaaz is just one more tentacle of the color revolution octopus partially funded by George Soros, the U.S. State Department, and the CIA as well as the budgets of other NATO countries both above and below publicly available knowledge. Its worldwide Internet organization is nothing more than a hub for dupes and witless participants who are disenchanted with the current system for whatever reason. The human mass is then used as a battering ram against the target government, ushering in a system that is almost always worse than the one the movement helped overthrow. There is no shortage of color revolution NGOs in Syria or anywhere else in the world. To compile a list of such organizations currently existing would require a full-time commitment even as new groups are formed all the time. It is not necessarily the individual organization itself that must be exposed but the methods by which color revolutions and mass movements are created, facilitated, and accomplished that must be understood. Only by understanding the nature of the color revolution and destabilization can such tragedies be avoided in the future.

Great stuff, Brandon. One of the best things you have ever written And what position does AVAAZ take on GMOs? Ah huh, thought so shill for Monsanto. AVAAZ a criminal organisation, run by criminals involved not only politics, but most of criminal activities ?? I was the fool who stood beside and donated money to these charlatans before realising who they were several months ago along with Greenpeace and 38Degrees, thinking I was paying for a better world when in fact they were/are all conspiring against us tricking us into signing petitions that only benefit their OWN filthy agenda oh what a fool I was. And now I question EVERYTHING We are being manipulated and used like slaves and most of us dont even know it yet. 
2	Thug Screams He Hates White People As He Throws Woman Into Traffic So NoAt the beginning of last month, Rodney Arnold, a thug from Cincinnati, shoved a jogging woman into the street. She fell into oncoming traffic. Afterwards, he pulled out a knife and reportedly yelled that he hates white people. The woman managed to escape, and Arnold was taken into custody around 90 minutes. He was charged with ethnic intimidation, aggravated menacing, assault and carrying concealing weapons. Of course, this hate crime was not heavily reported by the media. We didnt hear anything from the Rev. Al Sharpton. Theyre all too busy painting a one-sided story of racism in America. What do you think? Does Arnold need to be punished to the full extent of the law? 
2	Obamas Government Caught Buying 6 Billion Rounds Of Ammo For THIS Disturbing Reason According to recent reports, the Department of Homeland Security has just issued an open purchase for an order of 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition, with little explanation. Blogger Ken Jorgustin revealed this information in his blog a few years ago. The Department of Homeland Security is apparently taking delivery of an undetermined number of the recently retrofitted 2,717 Mine Resistant Protected MaxxPro MRAP vehicles for service on the streets of the United States, Jorgustin wrote. Now, the MRAPs are reported being spotted on U.S. Street throughout the country, and have been verified by photos, videos, and descriptions. The question remains as to why the government needs such equipment. They all have gun ports, Jorgustin continued. Gun Ports? In the theater of war, yes. On the streets of America? Seriously, why would DHS need such a vehicle on our streets? What do you think? Is there something very shady going on? 
2	Obama Gives Illegals 1.3 Billion For THIS Sickening Reason Once again, President Barack Obama is proving that he is more than willing to bend over backwards to help illegal immigrants. Reports indicate that he has just put forth a $1.3 billion budget proposal, to be distributed among 75,000 minors that are expected to cross into the United States this year from Central America. That breaks down to about $17,613 a childan amount that is significantly higher than what the government gives to Social Security Retirees. According to a report from the Center for Immigration Studies, the average annual SSA retirement benefit for legal citizens is roughly $14,772. As if that werent enough, the proposal also demands another $2.1 billion for refugees. Paul Bedard of the Washington Examiner was quick to comment on the issue, claiming that the administration is also spending heavily on a program with the United Nations to help the illegal minors avoid the dangerous trip by declaring them refugees and handing them a plane ticket to the U.S. where, once hre, they get special legal status. The CIS claims that a significant number of minors cannot receive refugee status. As such, 80% of the 71,000 Central American children placed in the past seven months were released to sponsors who are in the United States illegally. 
1	Addressing a crowd of supporters at a victory rally in Nevada Saturday afternoon, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton credited her triumph in the state to the baleful, pitch-black tide of fate from which no man, woman, or child could ever hope to escape. Our victory today is proof that the floodgates of history have opened, and the dire, unremitting current of inevitability has been loosed on the helpless masses, said Clinton, bidding voters to surrender themselves to the advancing and all-consuming veil of destiny before its icy, ink-dark gloom laid waste to all who dared resist. Do not attempt to flee or hide, for the stygian waters I have unleashed upon this earth will sweep along all in their path. Those who stand with me shall ride the crest of this woeful tidal bore all the way through Super Tuesday and unto the very steps of the White House itself. And let any who would try to stem this mighty surge be borne under the dark-winged waters, where their pleas for mercy will go unheard by the world, stifled and subdued forevermore. At press time, Clinton was reminding supporters there was still plenty of work ahead to secure a win in South Carolina next week. 
3	British Scientist Plans to Genetically Modify Human Embryos After Ethics Committees ApprovalBy Joseph Jankowski After receiving the go-aheadfromthe Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) earlier this year, British scientistDr. Kathy Niakan, of the Francis Crick Institute, will now be able to genetically modify human embryos. Dr. Niakan will use a gene editing technique on embryos that have been donated by consenting patients undergoing fertility treatment. The Telegraph reports: Despite the approval, the start of research may still be months away due to the difficulties of obtaining sufficient embryos. Dr Niakan, speaking at a briefing in central London in January, said she hoped the research would give hope to prospective patients. We would really like to understand the genes that are needed for an embryo to develop into a healthy baby, she said. Miscarriage and infertility are extremely common but they are not very well understood. We believe that this research could improve our understanding of the very earliest stages of human life. According to Dr. Niakan, 50 percent of human embryos fail to reach the early developmental blastocyst stage. If we were to understand the genes, it could really help us improve infertility treatment and provide crucial insights into the causes of miscarriage, Niakan said. Some believe that this type of genetic engineering willpave the path for designer babies which would be an act of god by humans. Others, such as Dr. Kiakan, are looking at this as a way to advance the good health of humanity. Either wayyou look at this, it is safe to that some very interesting results could come from the genetic tampering of humans. Image Credit Joseph Jankowski is a contributor for Planet Free Will.com.

2	Black Community Demands Megyn Kelly Be Fired For Offensive Mike Brown Comments It was during an intense confrontation on Monday, between Fox News host Megyn Kelly, and radio show host Richard fowler, over the grand jurys decision not to indict Officer Wilson. That Kelly asked the question many Americans would love to ask the protesters. Who are you to second-guess the grand jury? It began when Kelly questioned Fowler about the reaction to the verdict the grand jury made on the Ferguson case, and subsequent riots. When in response Fowler appeared to be rationalizing the events. The truth of the matter is, is that across this country theres a lot of people that are very angry about this and that this grand jury did not come down with an indictment tonight and that caused this anger, theres two sides of the story that really shouldve been heard by a jury, Fowler responded. But they were, they were. Both sides were heard. Kelly interjected. Fowler trying to steer the conversation to its original topic, spoke about the rioting and how its the anger that is what got out of hand, in spite of requests for peaceful protesting. Kelly quickly replied The reason that the anger has gotten out of control is because these fires, so to speak, have been stoked by people who refuse to trust in the system. The grand jury system. Which is the way our country works. That grand jury met for three months, one time a week, 12 people, in good faith, and they looked at all the evidence 60 witnesses they listened to and they disagreed with you, they know more than you do and they said theres no probable cause for any of these charges. Who are you to second guess them? Kelly continued. Fowler tried to oppose, by stating that if this case would have occurred somewhere like New York or any other place in the United States, the events would have certainty gone straight to a jury trial. Perhaps its because the people are being misinformed, Kelly said Kelly then clarified that 9 times out of 10 a case wouldnt go to a grand jury because the police officer is usually believed by the prosecuting attorney. She emphasized, that the grand jury had proof that implied Brown was the aggressor at the time of the struggle, the prosecutor indicated that many witnesses of color attested to that as well. Which Fowler failed to acknowledge. This whole argument just proves one thing, when people make up their minds without having any information, they will always fail to see the evidence right in front of them.

2	Eric Bolling Blasts Mark Cuban On Live TV... Makes Him Look Like A Complete Fool [WATCH] In the past few months, liberals have targeted Donald Trump for his temperament, arguing that we cant have a president who is easily baited. Billionaire Mark Cuban has been an integral part of this narrative and has made multiple, public attempts to smear Trump. Well, that all backfired this week when host Eric Bolling successfully baited Cuban and made him look like a complete idiot on live TV. One thing is clear about Cuban: he is ego-driven, and likes being flattered. Are you going to take credit for unsettling Donald Trump to the point Clinton won the debate? Bolling asked, capitalizing on this weakness. I think she won the debate hands down, Cuban responded. I am not taking credit. I dont think I was the one unsettling him, but I certainly unsettled Rudy Giuliani. When he saw me there he was like, Whats he doing here? so I got a big kick out of that. I think what really unsettled him was, first, her ability to bait him. But second, some of his answersI dont know if you could hear over the TVbut he was getting laughed at by the crowd. I think that really upset him and kind of made him really antsy, which made him really combative. Watch the video of what happens next and tell us what you think. 
2	Michelle Obamas Dark Past Comes Back To Ruin Her... Shes Finished Peter Slevins Michelle Obama: A Life, a new biography of the First Lady is set to release on April 7. Reportedly, the book is set to reveal some intimate details about Michelles past. In fact, when the First Lady was just 10 years old, she was denied Best Camper at a summer camp in Michigan because she swore too much. I was going through my cursing stage, Michelle told People. I didnt realize until my camp counselor at the end came up and said, You know, you would have been best camper in your age group, but you curse so much. This is just one of many incidents that reveal that Michelle was a bit of a problem child growing up. Even her grandmother claims Michelle needed a good spanking. On her way to becoming grandmother in residence at the White House, Marian would report that Michelles younger daughter, Sasha, then age 7, reminded her of Michelle at the same age, Slevin writes. Just like Sash. She always had her own opinions about things and she didnt hesitate to say so, because we allowed it. Its clear that the First Lady has not grown up much. The book also reveals some more embarrassing moments from Michelles adult life as well. One night, at a fine dinner for two, ostensibly to celebrate his efforts on the Illinois bar exam, Michelle again raised the question of marriage and began haranguing him for his refusal to commit, Slevin reports. Dessert came. On Michelles plate was a box containing an engagement ring. She was floored, and thrilled. Barack laughed, That kind of shuts you up, doesnt it? How very romantic. What do you think of the release of the new book? Will you bother to read it? 
3	The History and Science of Color Revolutions, Part 2Brandon Turbeville Whenever one discusses color revolutions, however, it is important to understand that this tactic is not merely a recent invention on the part of the ruling elite. In fact, this particular method of destabilization has quite a long history, having been perfected in the late 1960s and refined into an art form as time has progressed. It is also extremely important to understand how color revolutions work, as well as how these methods are successfully deployed. Such an understanding is particularly relevant if one wishes to combat or, at the very least, avoid the tragic results of color revolutions in their own country or the propaganda narrative surrounding those revolutions in another part of the world. Because color revolutions, destabilizations, and coups require much more than propaganda inside or outside the country, it is necessary to organize, train, indoctrinate, and mobilize with boots on the ground inside the target nation. Since the movement will not be an organic one, the swarming adolescents must be organized by the agents directing the destabilization. With this in mind, Jonathan Mowats excellent article, The New Gladio In Action: Swarming Adolescents, which I cited at length in my last article, goes into the recent history of color revolution tactics along with a brief discussion regarding the history of some of its individual and organizational players, most notably Gene Sharp, Bob Helvey, and The Albert Einstein Institution. Regardless, Mowat explains, The creation and deployment of coups of any kind requires agents on the ground. The main handler of these coups on the street side has been the Albert Einstein Institution, which was formed in 1983 as an offshoot of Harvard University under the impetus of Dr. Gene Sharp, and which specializes in nonviolence as a form of warfare. Dr. Sharp had been the executive secretary of A.J. Muste, the famous U.S. Trotskyite labor organizer and peacenik. The group is funded by Soros and the NED. Albert Einsteins president [2006] is Col. Robert Helvey, a former US Army officer with 30 years of experience in Southeast Asia. He has served as the case officer for youth groups active in the Balkans and Eastern Europe since at least 1999. Mowat then goes on to briefly describe Robert Helveys background in relation to the color revolution industry. He writes, Col. Helvey reports, in a January 29, 2001, interview with film producer Steve York in Belgrade, that he first got involved in strategic nonviolence upon seeing the failure of military approaches to toppling dictatorsespecially in Myanmar, where he had been stationed as military attachand seeing the potential of Sharps alternative approach. According to B. Raman, the former director of Indias foreign intelligence agency, RAW, in a December 2001 paper published by his institute entitled, The USAs National Endowment For Democracy (NED): An Update, Helvey was an officer of the Defence Intelligence Agency of the Pentagon, who had served in Vietnam and, subsequently, as the US Defence Attache in Yangon, Myanmar (1983 to 85), during which he clandestinely organised the Myanmar students to work behind Aung San Suu Kyi and in collaboration with Bo Myas Karen insurgent group. . . . He also trained in Hong Kong the student leaders from Beijing in mass demonstration techniques which they were to subsequently use in the Tiananmen Square incident of June 1989 and is now believed to be acting as an adviser to the Falun Gong, the religious sect of China, in similar civil disobedience techniques. Col. Helvey nominally retired from the army in 1991, but had been working with Albert Einstein and Soros long before then. Yet, as Mowat demonstrates, Helvey was by no means the backbone of the Albert Einstein Institute, despite his heavy involvement. Indeed, AEI relies heavily on the work of one of the leading figures of color revolutionary theory, Dr. Gene Sharp. Mowat states, Reflecting Albert Einsteins patronage, one of its first books was Dr. Sharps Making Europe Unconquerable: The Potential of Civilian-Based Deterrence and Defense, published in 1985 with a forward by George Kennan, the famous Mr. X 1940s architect of the Cold War who was also a founder of the CIAs Operations division. There, Sharp reports that civilian-based defense could counter the Soviet threat through its ability to deter and defeat attacks by making a society ungovernable by would be oppressors and by maintaining a capacity for orderly self-rule even in the face of extreme threats and actual aggression. He illustrates its feasibility by discussing the examples of the Algerian independence in 1961 and the Czechoslovakian resistance to Soviet invasion in 1968-9. In his forward, Kennan praises Sharp for showing the possibilities of deterrence and resistance by civilians as a partial alternative to the traditional, purely military concepts of national defense. The book was promptly translated into German, Norwegian, Italian, Danish, and other NATO country languages. See the link to the Italian translation of the book (Verso unEuropa Inconquistabile. 190 pp. 1989 Introduction by Gianfranco Pasquino) that sports a series of fashionable sociologists and politologists prefacing the book and calling for a civil resistance to a possible Soviet invasion of Italy. Such formulations suggest that Albert Einstein activities were, ironically, coherent (or, possibly updating) the infamous NATOs Gladio stay-behind network, whose purpose was to combat possible Soviet occupation through a panoply of military and nonmilitary means. The investigations into Gladio, and those following the 1978 assassination of former Prime Minister Aldo Moro, also shed some light (immediately switched off) on a professional apparatus of destabilization that had been invisible for several decades to the public. It is noteworthy that the former deputy chief of intelligence for the US Army in Europe, Major General Edward Atkeson, first suggested the name civilian based defense to Sharp, John M. Mecartney, Coordinator of the Nonviolent Action for National Defense Institute, reports in his groups CBD News and Opinion of March 1991. By 1985, Gen. Atkeson, then retired from the US Army, was giving seminars at Harvard entitled Civilian-based Defense and the Art of War. The Albert Einstein Institution reports, in its 1994-99 Report on Activities, that Gen. Atkeson also served on Einsteins advisory board in those years. Following his posting as the head of US Army intelligence in Europe, and possibly concurrently with his position at the Albert Einstein Institution, the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) reports that Gen. Atkeson, who also advised CSIS on international security, served as national intelligence officer for general purpose forces on the staff of the director of Central Intelligence. A 1990 variant of Sharps book, Civilian-Based Defense: A Post-Military Weapons System,the Albert Einstein Institution reports, was used in 1991 and 1992 by the new independent governments of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania in planning their defense against Soviet efforts to regain control. As we shall see below, with such backing, Col. Helvey and his colleagues have created a series of youth movements including Otpor! in Serbia, Kmara! in Georgia, Pora! in Ukraine, and the like, which are already virally replicating other sects throughout the former Soviet Union, achieving in civilian form what had not been possible militarily in the 1980s. The groups are also spreading to Africa and South America.[2] Achieving in civilian form what had not been possible militarily is the whole purpose of the color revolution, despite the fact that military involvement may follow the initial destabilization campaign. Learning the ins and outs of the color revolution technique, however, will provide a much needed service in terms of preventing that goal from being met. Notes: [1] Mowat, Jonathan.

The 36-year-old is rumored to be dating 47-year-old Dave Navarro, the guitarist of Janes Addiction. Even though they seem like opposites, they have a lot in common, an insider said of the famous pair. They both have a wicked sense of humor and share a love of politics and dark eyeliner. Before meeting Tantaros, Navarro was married to Carmen Electra. In fact, hes been married three times. Tantaros, on the other hand, has never been married. The two reportedly coupled up after meeting through a mutual friend in New York a few months back. Recently, theyve been seen strolling and kissing through the city. What do you think? Do you support Tantaros? 
3	March Against Monsanto organizer to face charges for using amplified sound at a parkMadison Ruppert Jones maintains that she did no such thing and says that fifteen other people used a bullhorn in Hanover Park that day but were neither harassed nor arrested. The individuals organizing this particular March Against Monsanto protest one of many across the country and the world paid around $1,500 for a permit for the protest but were denied the night before it was scheduled. Yet the arrest was not made due to the lack of a permit and the protest was not shut down by police. According to Jones, police were asking marchers to identify the organizer of the event. Jones was arrested soon after by three police officers for allegedly using amplified sound in the park. However, Jones says that she used the bullhorn on the street. Others can clearly be seen using amplified sound devices within the park itself while Jones is being arrested. In the video below the crowd can be heard chanting, Let her go! Let her go! as Jones was arrested by Ann Arbor police. She was the only one arrested, wrote Simone Cromer, the individual who uploaded the video of Jones being arrested to YouTube. About 7 other people used the megaphone before and after her arrest, in full view of the cops who continued to stand around and watch us. Why did they single her out and not arrest anyone else? Well never know. Another view of the arrest can be seen below: After my arrest, the cops sat there through the rest of the protest. Other people used the megaphone and it was no big deal, Jones said. I am thankful no one else got arrested but there were no arrests that needed to be made. Now if I was acting like an ass and not being peaceful, I could understand. That wasnt the case, she added. She was later bailed out by other activists who pitched in to pay the $250 to get her out. The police told me I had at least 30 people come to the station to bail me out, Jones noted. Another activist at the Ann Arbor march, Paul Swiss, was ticketed for use of an amplified sound device but was not arrested. One other individual was ticketed, according to Jones, but was not identified. Jones has her arraignment scheduled for June 17, 2013 and the American Civil Liberties Union has agreed to provide help with her civil suit, according to Jones.

1	As boxing fans around the world turn their attention to one of the most eagerly anticipated bouts in years, reports confirmed Saturday evening that citizens of the Philippines are currently watching one of their congressmen fight a man on television. According to sources throughout the Southeast Asian island nation, roughly the entire Filipino populace has gathered around their television sets in order to witness a member of the Philippine House of Representatives engage in brutal hand-to-hand combat. Reports indicated that the legislator, who has dutifully served the people of the Sarangani province for the past five years, is presently being cheered on by his constituents as he attempts to knock out another man during a live pay-per-view broadcast. At the moment, the people of the Philippines are on the edge of their seats as one of our most influential lawmakers carefully circles his opponent in an effort to land some powerful body blows, said Manila resident Jonathan Ocampo, noting that his congressman is currently drenched in sweat, half-naked, and wearing athletic trunks branded with the logos of Nike and a Malaysian airline. Hes deflecting hooks and crosses as he advances on his opponent in hopes of punching him in the face. Tens of millions of Filipinos are sitting at home watching a man who took an oath of office vowing to uphold the Constitution do this. This is one of our most dedicated civil servants, he added, referring to an individual being pinned against the ropes in front of 17,000 screaming spectators at Las Vegas MGM Grand Garden Arena. According to reports, the elected official is sworn to protect the interests of the Filipino people and also recently emerged from a tunnel wearing a satin robe, flanked by a large entourage to the strains of a pop song he himself sang and recorded, in order to face an opponent against whom he has been scheduled to fight one-on-one. The politician, who routinely votes on measures affecting the well-being of roughly 100 million Filipino men, women, and children, then slowly made his way through a crowd containing numerous American celebrities, put in his mouthguard, and was introduced by an announcer as The Fighting Pride of the Philippines. Sources also confirmed that the man, who earlier this week exchanged threatening stares with his opponent while the two were weighed and then photographed flexing their muscles, successfully campaigned for public office in 2010 on a platform of free education and health care, as well as increased funding for vocational training programs. The 36-year-old second-term congressman also reportedly appeared in a recent promotional video in which he and the person he is currently fighting were depicted slowly walking toward one another in a computer-animated desert. All Filipinos are hoping that our government representative inflicts a significant amount of damage on this other human being, Quezon City resident Pia Bautista said of the man alternately referred to as either The Honorable or Pac-Man, and who is participating in an event featuring scantily clad women displaying large placards indicating the next three-minute round of a fight. Certainly, everyone in the country is hoping for a better outcome than a few years ago, when we had to watch this prominent member of the United Nationalist Alliance electoral coalition lie unresponsive on the mat after being knocked unconscious by Juan Manuel Dinamita Marquez. Go Manny! Bautista added in a cheer that is just as likely to be heard during one of the mans televised fights as it is during his 2016 reelection campaign. At press time, the man who by many accounts could someday serve as president of the Philippines was having Vaseline applied to his forehead and cheekbones in preparation for the fights next round. 
2	What Michelle Obama Said About The Flag Is Absolutely UnMichelle Obama is facing some serious criticism for anti-American sentiments she expressed during a recent 9-11 commemoration. Michelle sat on the right side of President Obama as bagpipers played and an honor guard carefully folded an American flag. The ceremony was conducted carefully, in honor of the tragic events that struck our country in the fateful December more than a decade ago. So you can imagine our countrys outrage when it was revealed that the First Lady leaned over to her husband and whispered, All of this for a damned flag? The moment was caught on video, and although there is not audio, Michelles lip movements are shown in plain sight. Watch the video below and tell us what you think of the First lady. 
1	In a deal that has sent shock waves through the entertainment industry, Cineplex Odeon, the nation's second largest movie-theater chain, has agreed in principle to a 10-picture, $70 deal with Harrisburg, PA, bank teller Douglas Phelps. Douglas Phelps recently inked a blockbuster 10-picture 'Bonus Savings Pak' deal with Cineplex Odeon, which movie insiders say could save him an estimated $10. The blockbuster deal, first reported by Variety and subsequently confirmed by Cineplex Odeon vice-president Michael Katz, is believed to be the largest ever signed between a film distributor and a moviegoer. 'This is a real coup for Cineplex Odeon,' Katz said. 'With his incredible movie-going track record, Doug Phelps has to be considered one of the nation's most consistently box-office drawn.' The deal was finalized Monday evening during a meeting between Phelps and Jennifer Van Brocklin, 19, a ticket seller at Harrisburg's South Towne Multiplex theater. Phelps paid for the entire deal up front, giving Van Brocklin four $20 bills in exchange for a legally binding contract in the form of a Cineplex Odeon 'Bonus Savings Pak' and $10 change. Phelps then returned one of his newly acquired discount movie passes to Van Brocklin in order to gain admission to Conspiracy Theory, which multiplex sources say was showing in theater five at the time. While the 10-picture Bonus Pak deal is expected to save Phelps, long known for his patented 'cross-legged' style of viewing, an estimated $10 on regularly priced movie admissions, many believe that it is Cineplex Odeon that stands to gain the most from the deal. According to Variety editor Ron Sacks, Phelps' presence will strongly draw other moviegoers to Cineplex Odeon theaters. 'In Douglas Phelps, Cineplex Odeon has signed a guy who can put people in the seats,' Sacks said. 'He has a proven track record of good movie choices: This summer, he avoided Batman & Robin, Buddy and The Fifth Element, sensing trouble. Of the two Nicolas Cage movies out, he chose Face/Off, not Con Air. That's the kind of instinct you can't teach. Believe me, where Doug Phelps goes, others will follow.' Movie-industry insiders project that Cineplex Odeon could net an additional $57.50 in concessions-stand revenue from the deal if Phelps averages a $3.50 large popcorn and $2.25 medium drink purchase over the course of the 10 pictures. There is still no word as to what film Phelps will see next, though a neighbor, who wished to remain anonymous, said that he recently overheard Phelps' girlfriend saying she wanted to 'see something romantic this weekend.' The report has prompted speculation that he will take her to see Picture Perfect, starring Jennifer Aniston, though many question whether the film meets Phelps' quality standards. As a result of the blockbuster Phelps-Odeon deal, other major theater chains are now scrambling to develop their own stables of top-notch moviegoers. On Tuesday, Loews Cinemas signed Council Bluffs, IA, math teacher Sandra Lombard to a five-picture deal whose terms remain undisclosed. Sony Theaters is said to be near closing an unprecedented 12-picture, $75 deal with Philadelphia-area dentist Larry Mushnick. Mary Barton, a Sony spokesperson, denied rumors that her company was once approached by Phelps. 'As far as I know, none of Sony's five clean, air-conditioned theaters in the Harrisburg area were visited by Mr. Phelps prior to his deal at [the South Towne Multiplex],' Barton said. 'While we wish Mr. Phelps a pleasant movie-going experience at Cineplex Odeon, we are confident that our own pantheon of diverse, dynamic cinema fans will continue to make Sony Theaters the place for watching films.' Reaction to Monday's deal was mixed among the moviemaking public. 'I don't have a problem with it,' said Los Angeles-area actor Sylvester Stallone, 49. 'The guy ought to be paid whatever the market will bear.' New York writer-director Nora Ephron, however, questioned the priorities exemplified by the deal. 'When a person is getting a $10 discount just to watch movies, while a hard-working actress like my friend Carrie Fisher makes less than a million per, it's time we started re-examining our values as a society.' 
1	NEW YORKWith the announcement of the 67th Annual Tony Award nominations Tuesday morning, new Broadway musical Loud, Desperate Need For Approval is leading the pack with an impressive 13 nominations while chief rival Look At Me, Look At Me, Please, God, Look At Me follows close behind with 11 nods in many of the same categories. This has been an incredible year for Broadway; so competitive, in fact, that even a great show like All-Consuming Narcissism might actually get shut out, said Deadline.com entertainment reporter Mike Fleming Jr., who went on to say that competition for actors is equally fierce as heavyweights Bottomless Need For Validation Stemming From Childhood Neglect and Naked Self-Obsession face off for best leading actor in a play. The adaptation of Shrill, Needy Histrionics got a surprising amount of love from Tony nominators for a play that closed in March to mixed reviews, but perhaps the biggest surprise is British import Shameless And Barely Disguised Cry For Attentions snub. No one saw that coming. According to sources, despite the buzz surrounding Flashy, Masturbatory Horseshit for best revival of a musical, sources confirm that it is almost certainly Pippins year. 
1	Reportedly seeking to indulge his twisted desires for the third time in as many nights, perverted 6-year-old Kyle Rogers entered his parents bedroom Tuesday night and directly asked if he could sleep with both of them, household sources reported. Kyles a real freakhell just sneak up to his parents bed wearing nothing but his pajamas while theyre sound asleep, and then just flat-out beg to spend the entire night under the covers with them, said the boys uncle Carl Rogers, adding that the deviant kindergartener also insists that his parents assume his favorite positions on either side of him. The thing is, if his parents arent into it, hell immediately start pleading and bargaining to try to find any way he can to satisfy his depraved cravings. And this is really fucked up: Sometimes hell even request that the family dog, Oscar, get into the mix and sleep with all of them. Its sick. Just sick. Rogers confirmed that this is not the only debauched predilection his nephew has exhibited, adding that the child frequently forces his parents into a humiliating sadistic ritual in which they must kiss small wounds on his body before bandaging them. 
3	The Golden Era Of Knowledge Resistance Is Upon UsBy Bernie Suarez Thats the good side of todays technology, knowledge-sharing and information available to humanity. Heres the dark side of the story, however. With much knowledge comes much responsibility and intellectual expectation from the species. Given how much knowledge there is available to humanity, we must face objectively what is transpiring before our very eyes. A large percentage of humans are still blinded by the controllers because they are deliberately resisting this otherwise easily available knowledge, and this almost unique first-of-its-kind level of resistance seems to be at an all-time high. I say resistance because more than ever before in the history of mankind humans can rapidly educate themselves about almost anything. Anyone can easily get past the information bottleneck of mainstream media and do their research and discover how real the globalist new world order plans are. After all, they are not even hiding their intentions. Ask yourself why would they publish the Project for a new American Century BEFORE 9/11 telling the world what their intentions would be? How is it that we have access to Operation Northwoods documents clearly outlining the controllers plans for staging false flag terror attacks throughout the U.S. to use as a pretext for war, yet people still think this is not possible? Theyve admitted that Vietnam was a war based on a lie but does anyone care? Crisis actors are now regularly being used to stage sloppily produced shootings but many refuse to look into this too deeply for fear of what this new knowledge will require of them. Thus, today it requires more mental energy to fend off the knowledge that is easily available at everyones fingertips. People are apparently willing to put lots of energy into resisting this knowledge just to preserve their paradigms. Consider that todays generation has easier access to concrete proof of false flags faster and more accurately than at any point in history. Much of this information can be obtained in almost real-time. Today, unlike any point in history, people who are privileged to this surreal flow of amazing information simply ignore the information like its not there. This unique engineered modern day complacency and resistance to easily available knowledge I believe is very special and must be pointed out to understand where we are and what possible solutions will work best. Think about that next time you hear people still clinging on to government-engineered official story lies, false flag events, planned agendas and propaganda. One of the reasons people cling to government lies and resist easily available truth and knowledge is because people dont want to believe things are that bad. They would rather believe that government is looking out for the greater good of the people. They dont want to believe anything that will compromise their view of the world and their paradigm about life. Paradigms are very real and many refuse to change how they think to accommodate a new paradigm. They will ignore logic, avoid tough questions, even ridicule the messenger to protect their belief systems. All of these examples are forms of resistance to knowledge. Cognitive dissonance is at an all-time high. More than ever, people prefer to keep the conversation light. They just dont want to discuss conspiracies or government corruption for fear of getting into an unwanted debate. So in order to avoid a debate or conflict over a political issue its better to avoid the topic. Today many workplaces expect their employees to avoid discussions about controversial topics because its not good for the workplace. This is an institutionalized resistance to knowledge and its all deliberate and engineered. This resistance is cognitive dissonance at a mass scale. So, although many people are waking up to the nature and true meaning of current and political events both domestically and globally, there is a great sifting going on and more than ever people are resisting simple truth that would have easily persuaded and awakened the average person many centuries ago if they had the same available information in their time. Thus, I believe this is widening the knowledge gap within the species; and this knowledge gap widening is part of an intellectual and consciousness extinction phenomenon that I believe is happening. Sadly, many humans are deeply mentally tangled in the matrix of lies and will likely die in the matrix never having understood how or why they died. Like sheep led to the slaughter. You may wonder, how did we get here? Perhaps due to several factors including that today, propaganda is much more sophisticated and thus more effective. We have sophisticated sensationalized mass media, advertisements, billboards, radio, TV, Hollywood movies, video games, newspapers, magazines, social media, cell phone apps and more. All of these sources of information are well equipped to manipulate the human mind, especially knowing that today people are subjected to these devices and distractions every day. You may be thinking, what can we do about this mass resistance to knowledge seen today. For one, keep the information awareness circulating. Dont get too worked up every time they execute another false flag. Instead see the false flag from the point of view of the usual script blueprint they implement almost every time and do your best to share the information with those who are still living in the matrix of lies. Then move on and continue focusing on viable solutions for the problems we face. Still running into people clinging on to government official stories on one false flag event after another? Realize who you are. Remind yourself that truth exists on its own and its not up to you to convince anyone, just show them the truth and let them recognize it for themselves. Realize we are living in an era of unusual resistance to knowledge because this resistance is engineered. Realize that its not about you winning an argument or convincing others of your personal point of view. Its about putting out the objective truth and hoping people see the bigger picture for their own survival benefit. You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink. I believe understanding this engineered resistance to common knowledge we see today is a big part of the puzzle in terms of staying mentally healthy and staying focused on solutions. Its all about keeping things in the right perspective and maintaining your own personal mental, emotional, spiritual and physiological balance. Realize that for as much as people resist knowledge and information freely and widely available to humanity today, there is a constant hope and positive outlook that is burning in our hearts that reminds us that we may be part of an inevitable and important mass human awakening phenomenon. Also lets consider that this knowledge resistance is equivalent to the diver who is too afraid to jump from the high diving board for fear of what will happen if he does. All those people who are afraid of giving up their current paradigms wouldnt be if they were assured that everything was going to be all right. Finally, realize that as things get worse many more people will be inclined to want to change their paradigms for a better one. That is why we need to offer hope to others. Its not enough to point out false flags and focus on the fear and government corruption. We must answer back with some kind of solution and hopeful strategizing. Deliberate knowledge resistance is best met with the fewest amounts of words. Show someone the truth, dont debate with them so much. Allow them to believe whatever they want and move on after telling them what they need to hear. Its not about convincing these people or winning an argument, its about being mentally stronger, more assured and wiser as you expose the other person to objective truth. Its about staying focused on the bigger picture not about burning energy to fix someone elses resistance to truth.

3	Transfers excluded, JPMorgan Chase is WiredJames Hall Such a restriction on commerce reminds of the liquidation-only restriction on COMEX silver future contracts back in the days when Bunker Hunt needed to be taught a lesson. Today, the message is that the U.S. banks are broke again, and need another bailout. A good way to increase liquidity into the Federal Reserve System is to repatriate U.S. Dollar deposits stored in foreign banks. Maybe this is just one more sweetheart deal to allow the Chinese to keep recycling their worthless dollar holdings by buying more New York City real estate. Bloomberg reports, Chase Manhattan Plaza Sale Sets Record for Chinese Buyers. JPMorgan Chase Co. (JPM)s deal to sell 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza to Fosun International Ltd. would be the largest purchase of a New York building by a Chinese buyer. Chinese buyers are expanding U.S. property investments, seeking yield and a safe haven while the government maintains curbs on domestic purchases. This year, a group including Zhang Xin, the billionaire co-founder of Soho China Ltd. (410), took a stake in midtown Manhattans General Motors Building. Greenland Holding Group Co., a Shanghai-based, state-owned developer, agreed this month to buy a 70 percent share of Atlantic Yards, a residential and commercial project in Brooklyn. No wire transfer restriction for the globalists! If there ever was a misleading headline, No, JPM Isnt Banning International Wire Transfers, No Limits On Withdrawals Either, is it. The banks basic business account, Chase Total Business Checking, does not allow outgoing international wire transfers (it does allow them to come in) and cash activity is indeed limited to $50,000 per month. Cash activity means withdrawals and deposits. Has the English language changed that much to allow such direct contradictions to be shrugged off as the price for Jamie Dimons ad revenues to keep flowing? Forbes shame on you. Could the recent, JPMorgan Chase reaches tentative $13B settlement with Justice Department, be part of the motivation to raise the wire fees on Chases Performance and Platinum Business Checking accounts? JPMorgan Chase at first was discussing an $11 billion settlement to the Justice Department over mortgage-backed securities, The Associated Press reported. Earlier this week, JPMorgan Chase agreed to pay a $100 million penalty and admitted that its traders acted recklessly during a series of London trades that ultimately cost the bank $6 billion, AP said. That settlement was announced Wednesday by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The bank agreed last month to pay $920 million and admit fault in a deal with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other U.S. and British regulators, AP reported. Is JPMorgan Chase a bank in trouble? Well, JPMorgan reports quarterly loss as it grapples with legal woes, might sound like a run on the bank is no longer unthinkable. However, the biggest bank in the U.S. is one of those too big to fail criminal syndicates. To help cushion against those legal costs, JPMorgan Chase set aside $23 billion in litigation reserves a figure that the bank has not previously disclosed. That pot of money includes the $9.15 billion, which the bank added during the third quarter. It would be easy to conclude that the restrictions on wire transfers are just part of a management decision to raise higher profits. Even so, how do you enhance your cash flow revenue when you eliminate the flow of capital to pay creditors? Stopping an international outgoing wire, no doubt is a capital control restriction. So what is the rationale to limit domestic wires and cash deposits? Paul Joseph Watson in the original source article provides the most plausible assessment. It is clear that these regulations are being enacted for three different but equally plausible reasons, all of which contribute to the ultimate goal of sacrificing the global economy on the altar of derivative monster zombie banks. 1) Capital controls to prevent money leaving the country as the US dollar continues to devalue. Note that Chase will allow international wire transfers coming in, but not going out of the accounts. Note that they are only concerned about risks when the money is being moved out of the account. 2) Forcing businesses to abandon cash and switching everything over to digital currency that can be more easily tracked, traced and controlled. 3) Part of the preparatory phase for Cyprus-style bail-ins where the government announces a new tax to gouge out a percentage of peoples savings. Consumers, savers and small businesses have a mutual concern. They are all being set up for a dramatic confiscation of their money and the value of their capital. The Banks Make The Laws, offers this conclusion. It seems that the US banks are beginning to write the laws and enact them as they see fit. But thats par for the course in a crony capitalist fascist scenario in which businesses buy regulatory favors from legislators. The major banks have not only made Bitcoin de facto useless within the banking system by closing accounts, but now JPMorgan Chase is implementing de facto capital controls on its customers. When the wired commercial banks were allowed to become megabanks, business commerce was transferred into a dclass customer.

2	Barack Is Furious After Ted Cruz Calls Him A Terrorist On Live TV [VIDEO] Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz is quickly becoming one of the more controversial candidates in the race. During a recent interview, he compared President Barack Obama to ISIS. Cruz pointed out that Obama has made the same argument that the terrorists use. Not only is this president unwilling to go after, to call out radical Islam by its name, but at times President Obama has acted like an apologist for radical Islam, Cruz began. And President Obama gave a speech, I was sitting at the prayer breakfast, he said, Yes, ISIS is committing acts of terror, but Christians and Jews had committed acts of terror, too, he continued. Now, last I checked the Crusades ended 900 years ago. I dont think its asking too much to ask this president to stay in the current millennium. And the reason I say hes being an apologist is because that argument is the exact same argument that the terrorists use, Cruz concluded. ISIS, when they are beheading Christians, when they are crucifying Christians, they invoke the Crusades and the Inquisition. What do you think? Do you applaud Cruz for vocalizing his beliefs? 
3	We Interviewed the Man Who Claims to Have Saved Nikola Teslas SecretsBy Derrick Broze TFTP interviewed Jim Murray, a man who claimed to have saved the secrets of Nikola Teslas technology. Murray is an engineer, inventor, and entrepreneur who has had a lifelong interest in science, radios, and rocket technology. According to TFTP: It was not long after graduation that Jim began seriously examining the work of Nikola Tesla. He was fascinated by Teslas incredible claims concerning power generation and transmission, and he vowed to rediscover the great scientists undisclosed secrets. Jims efforts eventually led him to individuals like Otis T. Carr, who claimed to have known Tesla personally. They also gave him a greater understanding of several lost Tesla secrets. During his professional life, Jim has conducted research and experimentation on a variety of different technological applications all of which eventually contributed to the development of his SERPS (Switched Energy Resonance Power Supply) device. This highly specialized electronic circuit has the ability to Magnify the effective power applied to it by nearly 50 times. When Jim coupled his device with his friend Paul Babcocks patented ultra fast 5 nanosecond switching technology, they achieved a 4790% increase in electrical power compared to the input. This type of performance, if commercialized, would cause the largest electric utility companies to shake in their boots. Once TFTPs initial story broke, I reached out to their team to see if I could arrange an interview with Jim Murray regarding some of the questions supporters and critics were asking. Jim agreed to do the interview, which you can see below: In an update to the story, TFTP wrote: The underground sewers of the interwebz drudged up an obituary of another man named James Murray, who had recently died. The internet warriors claimed that since the man was from Oklahoma and had worked for an electric company, it had to be the same Jim Murray. Therefore, our website had published a lie. Since we had set up a GoFundMe for Jim to raise money to publish his next book, it meant that our crowdfunding efforts were actually a scam and a money grab. The obituary of James Murray did, indeed, cause quite a stir, and was one of the main reasons I personally wanted to speak with him. As my interview confirms, Jim Murray is alive and well. One consequence of this rumor was that a crowdfunding page in support of Jim Murray was taken down after the accusations of fraud spread across the Internet. The page had been launched by TFTP to support Jim Murrays efforts to write a book about his experience and the technology. Instead of contacting me, and saying Hey, are you really dead? They just unceremoniously took it down, Murray said. Ill get the book done one way or another, its just that a few bucks would have helped. Murray also explained why some of Teslas ideas are not accepted by the current scientific establishment. The engineer previously gave TFTP a look at his new technology, but I wanted him to discuss the public and establishments reluctance to believe in alternative forms of power. Ultimately, what needs to be done is somebody has to put up enough money, and were talking millions, to really break through the restraints of the existing paradigm when it comes to understanding energy and nonlinear physics, Murray told Anti-Media. The government doesnt have any problem doing it themselves, but the vested interests dont want the general public to get ahold of this because the resulting paradigm shift would be pretty excruciating, at least for those who are doing well with the current arrangement. Murray also said he would not be surprised to find out certain factions of either the U.S. government or other governments are already working on this technology but keeping a lid on it. Despite the first crowdfunding campaigns removal, a second campaign has been launched. Jim Murray says he has independently secured funding for his technology and is now trying to obtain resources to publish a book that will explain to everyone how it works. For the skeptics out there, I recommend watching my interview, as well as the interview with The Free Thought Project before drawing any conclusions. I will admit that personally, I am not 100% convinced, though that may only be because a lack of understanding. I would also like to add that Jim Murray seems open to communication. If you have questions for him, I recommend reaching out to him and asking for yourself. Regardless of whether you think Murray is the new Tesla or another snake oil salesman trying to make a buck, it should be perfectly obvious that the worlds current energy practices are unsustainable. Alternative fuels and energy projects are rarely taken seriously. Instead, the world continues to march down an unsustainable path of environmental destruction and degradation; but this is not necessarily the will of the people. This is the design of corporate and state power, which benefits by shackling the world to the current energy paradigm. If we wish to break free of these chains, we must continue to pursue knowledge and tread in areas deemed crazy or conspiratorial in order to sift through the lies in search of the truth. Only by being willing to challenge the status quo will we create new systems that honor the individual, respect the planet, and allow freedom and happiness to flourish.

At some point the people will demand the release of the patents held by the US patent office? Jim is neither smart nor in peril. Hes a fraud, one of many that have parasited on and interpolated the works of Tesla. Throughout the years similar louts have made the same claims and gone nowhere. Not until this clod publishes his secret woo on pastebin or publicly, will he deserve more than face slap. Guys, activism requires critical thinking, and those of you who entertain this crap are utterly failing. Please, know the enemy, even when hes using a friends name. Jim is not only smart bes brave. Good for you Jim! Oh I bet he also has a carburetor that gets 500 miles per gallon of gas too. Are people really this daft to think that theres some hidden lost secret to be found with Teslas work.

1	In the wake of the watershed decision granting them the right to vote in the 2015 elections, Saudi women have received their husbands' explicit consent to rejoice, sources reported Wednesday. 'It is with great pride that women all across Saudi Arabia have been allowed to leave their homes under the guardianship of a male relative and celebrate this cultural landmark,' father of four Khalid al-Kazaz told reporters. 'It brings us great pleasure to permit them a few moments in which to smile beneath their hijabs before returning to their daily duties.' Saudi officials followed the announcement with another historic decree that lowered from 10 to 7 the number of lashes that will be administered to women who drive themselves to the voting booth.

2	Hawaii Officials Make Massive Announcement About Obamas Birth Certificate In his first term as President, Barack Obama faced continuous questions about his true identitymany of which have remained unanswered. Concerns have been raised that Obama was not born in the United States, and is therefore not eligible to lead our country. Just before he was reelected, Obama released a birth certificate that was later deemed to be manipulated. Adams worked in the City and County of Honolulu Elections division for five months as a senior elections clerk, supervising a group of 50 to 60 employees that were responsible for verifying the identity of Absentee Ballot Office. This is where Adams learned of Obamas records. I became aware that many requests were being made to the City and County of Honolulu Elections Division, the Hawaii Office of Elections, and the Hawaii Department of Health from around the country to obtain a copy of then-Senator Barack Obamas long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate, Adams swore in an affidavit. There was no record that any such document had ever been on file in the Hawaii Department of Health or any other branch or department of the Hawaii government, Adams concluded. What do you think? Is this proof enough to get Obama out of the White House?

The clip, which has been making its way around the internet, shows Obama making fun of Ronald Reagans widow for holding sances in the White House. Lets all be honest about one thing: Michelle Obama doesnt hold a candle to Nancy Reagan, and she never will. And Obama clearly has very little respect for those who have shaped America to be what it is today. Watch the video below and tell us what you think of Obamas comments.

3	Scientists Recommend Dangerous Antipsychotic Drugs to Treat CancerSusanne Posel, Contributor The focus of this collaboration will identify new uses for drugs that have already been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We need to speed the pace at which we are turning discoveries into better health outcomes, said Dr. Francis Collins, of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIH looks forward to working with our partners in industry and academia to tackle an urgent need that is beyond the scope of any one organization or sector. Obama signed Executive Order (EO), Establishing the National Prevention, Health Promotion and Public Health Council in 2010. Now the medical journal Cell has published a research paper on using an extremely dangerous psychotropic pharmaceutical to treat cancer; one that has traditionally been used to treat schizophrenia. Scientists are claiming that according to their extensive research, which consisted of analyzing thousands of different drugs to determine if they possessed anti-cancer effects, it is Thiroridazine a last resort drug for schizophrenics that is now purported to kill cancer stem cells. Thioridazine is expected to be used to select and eradicate cancer stem cells that are found in leukemia and several other cancers such as breast, blood, brain, prostate, ovarian, lung and gastrointestinal. A robotic stem cell screening system was devised by the research team to siphon through large amounts of drugs and previously unpublished data and drugs that are available on the market today. Thousands of chemical compounds were screened for potential effects on specifically breast cancer and leukemia. We discovered the drug by creating a new way of looking at different chemicals, said Mick Bhatia, the principal investigator for the study and scientific director of McMasters Stem Cell and Cancer Research Institute in the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine. In order to do that, we have to put cancer stem cells in a dish, but also have normal stem cells to also test the compounds. We were able to do this with a robotic system, fully automated, that allowed us to go through 10 or 15 compounds [at first]. Now we can do this with thousands of compounds, eventually arriving at this drug that doesnt do anything to normal stem cells, but kills cancer stem cells. The unusual aspect of our finding is the way this human-ready drug actually kills cancer stem cells; by changing them into cells that are non-cancerous. The praise Thioridazine is receiving omits the dangerous effects that this drug causes in humans. Thioridazine is classified as a conventional antipsychotic. Its prime function is to reduce the brains ability to process excitement; effectively rendering the patient docile and even-tempered. There is a strong possibility of committing suicide while on this drug. Bhatias study asserts that this discovery could inspire a new frontier in cancer therapies. He stated that there are an estimated 12 existing drugs that pose a good potential for the same response. The researchers are not stopping with Thioridazine; they are moving onto other possible uses for already approved drugs. Bhatias team is anxious to begin human trials with plans to use this pharmaceutical on leukemia patients. By studying patients whose cancer is in remission, the researchers hope to find that thioridazine will prevent a multitude of cancers. Currently, the vitamin industries, by order of the Codex Alimentarius (CA) are being attacked by the US government to justify the force outlawing of natural medicine use. The CA is a creation of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The findings of this study are just the first of many new uses that the pharmaceutical industry will discover in order to utilize antipsychotic drugs to treat major diseases. With the support of the Obama administration, soon we may all be on some kind of psychotropic drug. Before marketing an antipsychotic as any kind of miracle drug for cancer, manufacturers should take a closer look at the side effects of the substance, particularly in cases where antipsychotics can become addictive and instead ruin a persons life further.

2	BREAKING: Obama Moves To Bypass Congress, Swiftly Passes Devastating Executive Order According to some recent reports, President Obama is currently contemplating using executive action to close Guantanamo Bay, something he claimed he would do before the 2008 election. In order to close Gitmo, Obama would have to do one of two things. First, Obama would have to veto the annual defense spending bill, stopping him from moving any of the inmates back to the U.S. Alternatively, Obama could declare that the restrictions on detainee transfers are unconstitutional, and could decided to transfer the prisoners to a military or civilian prison facility within the country. This Administration has repeatedly objected to statutory restrictions that impede our ability to responsibly close the detention facility and pursue appropriate options for the detainees remaining there, including by determining when and where to prosecute detainees, based on the fatcs and circumstances of each case and our national security interests, White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters in May. Now, the Obama Administration is claiming that facility is draining valuable resources, sucking up around $500 million a year in tax dollars. This argument, of course, is not aligned with Obamas own actions given his lavish vacations and spending habits. What do you think? Does Obama need to be out of the White House for good? 
3	As Mexico Weighs Marijuana Legalization U.S. Cuts Aid to MexicoBy selfnews Post Jose Miguel Vivanco, executive director of the Americas Division of Human Rights Watch described the decision as unprecedented. He said that the State Department has been systematically reluctant to use the leverage provided by law. What they have tended to emphasize is keeping the bilateral relationship as the principal objective, and human rights normally takes a back seat. In reality, the $5 million is only a portion of the aid that the U.S. provides to Mexico to continue fighting the Drug War every year. Most of this aid centers around training and equipping Mexican security forces and strengthening its criminal justice system. Under the terms of the Merida Initiative, 15 percent of the funds allocated for Mexican police and military support are supposed to be conditional and tied to improvements in Mexicos human rights record. Still, the decision to withhold $5 million is sending a clear message to Mexico. The question, however, is just what this message might be. While Americans must come to grips with the fact that their closest foreign neighbor is a third-world failed state, it is questionable at best to assume that a State Department that has supported bombing, torturing, raping and beheading across the world in the name of democracy is truly concerned with the human rights and lives of Mexicans. Some are now wondering whether or not there is another reason for Americas warning to Mexico. After all, as John Vibes wrote: Later this month, the supreme court of Mexico will review the countrys current prohibition of marijuana, as well as the possibility of legalizing the plant for medical and recreational use. Medical marijuana is currently legal in Mexico, but the black market drug trade in the country continues to cause widespread violence, drug cartel, and gang activity, just as it does in America. Marijuana legalization has traditionally been a very popular concept in Mexico, where people understand the real-life consequences of the drug war and prohibition. However, the United Nations has forced many countries around the world, including Mexico, to comply with the drug prohibition policy the United States government has championed. Now, with many U.S. states choosing to legalize the plant, Mexico is seeing a window of opportunity to change the laws at home, keep non-violent offenders out of jail, and minimize the violence created by the black market. On October 28th, supreme court judges in Mexico will vote to decide whether the current prohibition on marijuana is unconstitutional. If they do choose to legalize the plant which many believe they will the country will follow a number of countries that are beginning to change their drug laws. With this in mind, one must wonder whether or not the U.S. cut in aid is based more on a threat to reduce it further if Mexico moves ahead with any type of reasonable drug policy as opposed to any crocodile tears over human rights violations. Frankly, until the United States stops funding for Saudi Arabia and Israel, the human rights argument will be null and void.

3	Mother Kicked off Welfare as Punishment for Not Sending Her Brain Cancer-Riddled Child to SchoolBy Melissa Dykes A Michigan mother kept her daughter home from school after a surgery to remove a brain tumor left the child with strokes, fighting off seizures, and according to a doctors note, requiring assistance in dressing, eating, and elimination of urine and feces. This child has been in and out of the hospital repeatedly over the last several years going through a horror that most adults wouldnt even be able to fully contemplate. She is obviously in no physical state to attend school, a fact that should be common sense and obvious to pretty much anyone including the child. Well, someone at said school (you know, the place that is supposed to have the best interest of kids at heart, right?) decided to turn this mother in for truancy, and the mother was subsequently kicked off of her welfare which is probably all she had for her and her childrento get by. Via The Daily Beast: Just forget about the fact that taking care of a child with these kinds of special needs is a full-time job unto itself. In a country where the jobs have been shipped overseas, we have the largest wealth gap in history, the most people unemployed who could be since the 1970s, and nine out of the top 10 jobs that employ the most people earn an average of less than $35,000 a year. Now states are pulling the rug out from under peoples feet on top of it for any reason they can think of. How is making this girl and her mother and siblings homeless going to help her get back in school? Shes dying ofcancer. Everyone knows the only reason schools are so stringent with these laws in the first place is for the per pupil funds they get for attendance anyway. Then again, what do you expect from a country that arrests 90-year-old men for trying to feed starving, homeless people? TPTB are antithetical to all decency. Just evil minions doing their fathers work. Other people have committed suicide because of the system called Midas in Michigan. Its not he mother it is how the system of fraud that calculates and criminalizes the needy: Criminalizing the unemployed By Ryan Felton Inside the lobby of a nondescript building situated in a strip mall along Eight Mile Road, just outside Detroit, a tall man emerges from behind a door. Like a nurse calling for a patient at a doctors office, he bellows a name. Attorney David Blanchard stands, picks up his briefcase, and begins to stroll down the hall, past a series of unremarkable offices that double as courtrooms. Beside him is a 50-something woman who works as an The woman, whod prefer to be known as Sue, is set to meet Administrative Law Judge Raymond Sewell, one of a cast of characters who routinely decides the fate of a parade of people that come through his doors. Sewell and his colleagues take their jobs seriously; theyre an affable bunch, which is perhaps surprising, given their line of work: As judges who work for the Michigan Administrative Hearing System, they routinely settle the mundane tax bills, compensation issues, and disputes over unemployment benefits. But really, the boring can be earth-shattering for the folks who await their decisions. These administrative law judges dive into hefty problems, giving their cases as much attention as youd find in the highest courts in the land. They take notes, deliver grand pronouncements, and hand down life-altering decisions. Sewells office is decorated with a photo of President Barack Obama and emptiness otherwise. The 78-year-old judge is a former Macomb County prosecutor. Hes a lanky gentleman who speaks with a deep, gentle croon. The reason Sue has taken off work to meet with the judge on an unpleasantly hot and humid day in June is because the state of Michigan believes shes a criminal. It began like this: In October 2014, Sue filed for unemployment insurance after being laid off from a contracted IT position. Before the economy self-destructed in 2008, she worked at Ford. Today, like many, she relies on contractual employment opportunities. It was the understandable decision to file for unemployment that led her into Sewells world. According to the state, Sue has misrepresented how much income she earned during periods she claimed to be unemployed. State records showed she collected a check from the beginning of January 2014 until she was laid off in October. But thats not the case, according to Sue. Its indisputable when the job began. It was Valentines Day. I remember, she later tells me. I brought cookies. Michigans Unemployment Insurance Agancy is adamant, however, saying its records indicate Sue has received about $2,200 in benefits from the unemployment insurance fund that, according to the agency, she illegally obtained. And because of the alleged fraud, the state says she is required to pay $9,000 in penalties combined with the $2,200, shes looking at a bill of more than $11,000. That would freak just about anyone out. And Sue is freaked. Blanchard, with 10 years of experience handling similar cases, is able to quickly pinpoint an error. For whatever reason, he says, the states computer system, wrongly, took the lump sum she earned in the He hands Sewell a spreadsheet illustrating the error. The representative appearing on behalf of Sues firm confirms theres no record of her starting work before Feb. 14. The look on everyones face in the room presents the same question: Whats going on here? No one from the UIA was present, but Blanchard posits the error is yet another screw-up generated by the UIAs software program used to detect fraud. Sue appealed the claim, he says, but it fell on deaf ears. Literally. [The appeal] was not considered by a human person, says Blanchard. Youre saying the agency used the computer to determine fraud, Sewell responds. Yes, without any human oversight, a machine had determined Sue committed fraud. Sewell promptly dismisses the fraud claim, saying Sue was legally entitled to unemployment benefits. Given those circumstances, some of Sewells colleagues are baffled by what theyve seen lately. Since 2011, under Republican Gov. Rick Snyder, the state has spent tens of millions of dollars to slowly implement a computer software program that handles applications filed with the UIA. The effort to curb waste is consistent with a vision posed by Snyder of operating government with a business-minded attitude. The program called MiDAS detects possible fraud by claimants.

Reports indicate that the aborted human fetal cell being used is known as HEK-293. The cell line is tested to see how the human palate will react to certain synthetic flavors used in products as additives. What they dont tell the public is that they are using HEK293human embryonic kidney cells taken from an electively aborted baby to produce those receptors, claims Debi Vinnedge of the pro-life group Children of God for Life.

3	Geodesic Aquaponics Greenhouse Network Providing the Basic Necessities of LifeRobin Schulte and Erin Kvam What are the basics? They are food, water, shelter, energy and community. Without these we have nothing, but with these we can not only survive, but thrive, and build upon this foundation the beautiful and ingenious aspects of humanity. The Problem The current systems that provide the basics are wasteful, time-consuming, and arguably designed to keep the majority busy while a small percentage enjoys disproportional wealth. Why does the majority comply? It appears there is no choice. As economic pressure increases and we are caught up in the world economy, it seems spending two thirds of our time working jobs that are usually disconnected from what we are passionate about is accepted, and to do otherwise is to be ostracized. While a good work ethic is to be commended, as there is much to do, it is important to consider what the work is accomplishing. Are we providing a service to humanity? Are we inspiring ideas, upholding proven means of survival, or exploring new avenues of existence? Are we doing what is meaningful and can last the test of time? Are we being good stewards of our environment so future generations will inherit a world worth living in? The Solution It would seem that one of our greatest resources is time itself. With time we have freedom to think, design, and orchestrate our unique contribution to life. With time we can enjoy the beauty of the world and become inspired by the intricate workings of nature. With time we can focus our amazing individual and collective potential on uplifting the world and all its creatures. Time is not money money is a poor excuse for time. The question now is not how we should spend our time, but how should we save our time from being spent by others. So, we get back to the basics food, water, shelter, energy, community. These things are worth our time. These things take very little time to manifest compared to how we do so today. Imagine a network of community centers that spans the globe each one providing the basic needs of life to the surrounding community. Each center is unique in what else it provides, but the core goal of providing the basics is what ties them together. Centers share resources, ideas, skills, knowledge and experience. There is no central control over these centers, yet they are connected through the common goal of survival and improvement of humanity. It is a return to the wholesome small town center of the past with the best of the realization of global communication and exchange of the present and future. Proven and cutting edge ideas and technology would be combined to bring out the best humanity has to offer. With a network such as this, each individual would only need to work 2 or 3 hours a day to provide the basic needs of life for all. The rest of the time could be utilized to maximize human potential as the individual wishes, backed by a network of communities skills and resources. Similarly, each community would have a great variety of unique aspects to it, such that the entire range of human existence would be expressed amongst all these communities. This is not so different from how each town or village is unique in the world now, except there would be a much greater equality between the communities and therefore much greater empowerment of the individuals living within them. Since each community would be unique in what it offers beyond the basics, and with modern transportation and communication individuals would naturally gravitate to the community they most resonate with, the diversity of the world is reinforced while allowing like-minded people to work together. This seems like a monumental task, right? Where does this network of centers come from? How do we shift from the current system to manifest this new way of interacting and living? The answer is actually quite simple get back to the basics well be forced to out of necessity anyway. First, start one center that provides food, water, shelter and energy to the surrounding community, then make more and connect them. In a short time these centers will have the resources to start expanding into other projects, workshop space, forums, performances, seminars, celebrations, and all manner of community events. Sounds easy, right? It is! Here is just one example of what one of these initial centers might look like, but there are many ways to manifest the same core ideals: Near a population center on some farmable land, concerned citizens construct geodesic domes; one that is a greenhouse, complete with an aquaponics system to serve as a year-round food generator in any climate. Another is used as a caf, office space, and relaxation space. Another is used as an education and entertainment forum with an indoor amphitheater and 360-degree projector, facilitating everything from live theater with motion picture backdrop, to educational speakers, to real-time planetarium zoom-ins on the cosmos utilizing digital telescope technology, to musical performances and other community-oriented activities, etc. Small, manageable steps, just like small, manageable communities, that reinforce diversity (and therefore adaptability), and a recognition of the basic needs of life that we all share in common, is the best way to ensure a thriving future.

1	During a visit to his coach's deathbed at Denver Presbyterian Hospital on Wednesday, Nuggets All-Star Carmelo Anthony told a barely conscious, cancer-ridden George Karl that their team, which was eliminated during the first round of the playoffs this year, had advanced to the NBA Finals and was currently up 3-0 on the Cleveland Cavaliers. 'Everybody's playing great, Coach, and the defense you taught us is completely shutting down LeBron,' a tearful Anthony reportedly told the weak and gasping Karl, who mustered enough strength to nod his head and smile at the news. 'Doctors say you're going to get better soon so you can celebrate with us at the victory parade. It's going to beCoach Karl? Coach Karl! Nurse!' 
3	Why Would You Want HIGHER House Prices?Gary Gibson Here is a brief list of things that make our life better when they become cheaper relative to incomes: This is how most of the world thinks: My electricity bill is half what it used to bemy groceries cost about 1/3 lessI paid half as much for a better smartphone this year and I get twice as much data and call time for the same price as I did in my last contractand my rent/mortgage is twice as much as it was ten years agoHooray! We are at the point where the population actually gets depressed when their mortgages and rents fall. Their economic sense is so debased that they see more affordable housing as a sign of economic contraction. Thats because the government has gotten the general population on the bandwagon of debt-based proxy ownership. Understand that there are government departments set up specifically to facilitate increasing housing and schooling prices through the debt: Fanny Mae, Freddy Mac and Sally Mae. The Federal Reserve government-created cartel is designed to make general prices go up via money supply inflation, but those three agencies make sure that housing and schooling (not the same thing as education) prices rise faster than just about everything else. Home owners are actually renters: primarily from the municipality which collects rent in the form of real estate taxes forever and also from the banks who collect rent in the form of interest for decades. In other words and despite the propaganda youve heard housing is NOT an investment. It is a consumption item, just like food or a car or oil. Housing is an only an investment if you dont consume it yourself but instead rent out its use at a profit. We all can easily see this with cars which we understand as things that we use up and which lose value over time. Cars are only investments if you rent and lease them out at a profit. So if youre Budget Rent-a-Car or Kia Motors, cars are an investment. If youre you, using the cars you rent, lease or own, then cars are consumption. And so it is with the real estate you occupy. The car market, however, doesnt have its version of Fanny, Freddy or Sally (yet). Free of government shenanigans the housing market (and schooling market) would actually resemble the car market (in a totally free market, all markets would resemble the electronics market with everything getting more affordable over time against a stable currency). That is to say, a fairly large percentage of the population would be able to buy their houses outright while another fairly large percentage would be able to put down 0 to 50% and pay the rest off within 5 to 15 years. How can I make such a claim? Because prior to the past century of government distortions via loan price-fixing and guarantees, thats exactly how the housing market worked. The 2011 article American Dream, Downsized summed it up well: Weve gone through 50 years of homeownership being the American Dream, and in those 50 years, homes didnt do anything but appreciate, said Bill Miley of real estate research firm Metrostudy. Homeownership is a long-held dream for many Americans, but a century ago, it wasnt accessible for most. Often, the only way to buy was to pay cash or take out a pricey loan with a large down payment. Government policy helped change that. From the beginning of the federal income tax, people have been allowed to deduct their mortgage interest. In 1938, the government established the Federal National Mortgage Association, known as Fannie Mae, to provide local banks with federal money to finance home mortgages, creating the 30-year mortgage with fixed interest and leading to more housing loans. After World War II, the GI Bill helped veterans secure low down-payment loans with low interest rates. Suburbs sprang up, and the US homeownership rate climbed above 60 percent from 45 percent in the first half of the century. The US had become a nation of homeowners. Meanwhile, the government continued to encourage home buying through tax breaks and programs that push homeownership for low-income earners. Then came the real estate boom. Credit was cheap and easy to obtain, risky products such as adjustable-rate mortgages crowded the market, and by the mid-2000s, homeownership rates had spiked to nearly 70 percent. If you had a pulse, Miley said, you could get a loan. Home ownership would have increased on its own without government help. Thats because the free market would have made home-building cheaper with new mass production techniques and thus driven down prices. In a free market, house prices and rents would be getting cheaper with time and use, just like any other appliance you might buy. Unless it is drawing an income via rents (whether you rent the entire space or just part of it), a house is durable consumer good of declining value for which you should get less later on under normal conditions (minus any drastic capital investment for improvement). In the meantime it will cost you money in maintenance at the very least and some of those maintenance bills could be enormous. Then there is the fact that owning your living space actually means you are on the hook for local extortion payments (real estate taxes) and years of debt, and you have a large, immovable object providing an essential function (shelter) whose equity and use can be stripped from you if the authorities decide you owe them or some plaintiff money. Let us recall the basic supposition of this newsletter: the US is on an unalterable path toward a full police state and economic conditions are only going to get worse as the government pours in more force and fraud inputs to keep the system going. Why, under these circumstances, would you buy into an artificially propped up market that saddles you with impressive debt while whatever equity you may build becomes illiquid, highly visible, and easily confiscated? So, Should You Ever Buy a House? To figure out if and when you should a house, consider things from a free market perspective, because the free market fundamentals will always eventually trump whatever shenanigans the government and central bank try to pull. Buying a house in a free market would probably confer slight financial and emotional advantages over leasing, just like owning a car is often a better move than leasing a car. Buying could be part of a longer-term cost control strategy, i.e. get the house paid off and never have to worry about a monthly payment again (though it would be foolish to pretend that maintenance wont require a not insignificant diversion of income every month). Only during the bubble years were 20-somethings so strongly urged to buy their homes with borrowed money. Before that the mainstream advice urged people to consider buying a home only if they would be in that home for the long haul. The ideas of a starter home (instead of just renting till an ideal home could be afforded) and then of buying with intention of flipping were both inevitable outcomes of the warped housing market swelling with longer mortgages and more debt. Again, correctly thinking of a house as a tool like a car instead of wrongly thinking of it as an investment goes a long way in preventing some bad decisions. But to take things further, we really have to throw out the buckets of misconception when it comes to what a house ought to cost in the first place. That may seem a little shocking. And many would protest that they could never find adequate housing in a safe area with that kind of guideline. But thats the ratio to keep in mind if you dont want to be a debt slave dependent on a bubble supported by the federal government and its pet banking cartel.

3	Two US Navy Patrol Boats Seized by Iranian Coast GuardBy Joshua Krause The boats and their crew, which includes 10 sailors, are currently being held at an Iranian naval base on the Farsi Island in the middle of the Persian Gulf. US officials have claimed that they dont know how the ships got there, or if they were captured before or after they fell into Iranian waters. According to White House spokesman Josh Earnest At this point, were still monitoring the situation and its not entirely clear what happened. Shortly after the incident, Secretary of State John Kerry spoke with Irans foreign minister to seek the release of the sailors. By all accounts, Tehran has assured the US that the sailors are safe, and that the ships will soon be returned to US custody with their crews, though a precise time-frame has not been confirmed.

2	Islam Week At School Demands All Must Wear Hijabs These days, many parents carry a fear that schools are starting to become more focused on indoctrination than it is education. Just look at the way religion is being positioned at schoolsChristianity and Judaism are being targeted, while Islam is being pushed as a religion of peace. The most recent example of this comes from Wisconsin, where one school asked women to wear hijabs in solidarity as part of Islam Appreciation Week. The week was sponsored by the University of Wisconsin Muslim Student Association, part of 600 chapters across the country, with the goal of encouraging college women to experience what it is like to be a Muslim woman. The goal of the Muslim Student Association is to facilitate networking, educating, and empowering the students of today to be citizens of tomorrows community. But the reality is the organization was founded by the Muslim Brotherhoodand The New York Times described the original MSA as little slices of Saudi Arabia. In the 1970s and 1980s, the MSA was under frequent investigation for terrorist activities, with many members and leaders sporting connections to terror financing and support operations. Still, the association continues to grow across the country. Islam Appreciation Week at the university fell at a strange time, given that it started the same day that a Somali refugee perpetrated a terrorist attack at the University of Ohio. Meanwhile, in Saudi Arabia, a woman went viral for facing death threats and calls for execution just because she dared to go out in public without a hijab. It appears that this call for solidarity was inappropriate on many frontsand is likely not something the parents of these students signed up for. What do you think of this? 
1	Just weeks after Major League Baseball wrapped up its 2011 season with an unlikely championship run by the St. Louis Cardinals, baseball fans are reportedly confused and disappointed by the way dozens of storylines were left dangling. 'The Cardinals saga was okay, but I really expected it to be more of a backdrop for the more interesting stuff they'd been building up to all season,' said longtime baseball viewer Mike Dietch, who on the MLB.com message boards Monday expressed his frustrations at 'being left hanging by baseball yet again.' 'It was all Phillies for a while, and then they just disappear? And all that attention on the Yankees, but that didn't go anywhere. What was the point of the Yankees this year? And where did Heath Bell even end up? If they resolved that, I totally missed it.' 'And why did they introduce that Red Sox fried chicken and beer subplot so late in the season?' Dietch added. 'It was stupid, anyway, but the timing was just weird.' The 2011 season is already being criticized as one of the least exciting in recent history, with many longtime followers of the sport saying that what they call 'The Show' has lost its way in recent years. Some fans said the sheer number of unanswered questions may ultimately make this season as poorly regarded as 2004's, with its predictable Red Sox victory ending telegraphed almost from opening day. 'When they stretched the finale out to seven episodes, I thought, of course they're going to at least mention something about why the Diamondbacks were so good this year or why the Twins were so bad,' said Cheyenne, WY viewer Ben Harrigan, who has watched baseball every year since 1989, remaining faithful even when it resorted to tacky home run races and became bogged down in extended melodramatic steroid-abuse episodes. 'But there was no explanation at all. And what happened to the Giants? They were supposed to be the next big thing, but we basically got zippo.' Not all fan reaction to the 2011 season has been negative. Although ratings for the Series were down overall, MLB surveys of those who did watch said they enjoyed the way longtime baseball character Tony La Russa was written off quietly, instead of dying in a violent drunken incident as his overall performance seemed to foreshadow. Many also said they thought it appropriate that the Pirates' moment in the spotlight came to an end at midseason, as having them win their division would have seemed unrealistic. And most viewers expressed appreciation that the last few hours concentrated on teams other than those in the AL East. Still, baseball's fans reportedly weren't satisfied by the way major characters were introduced and then abandoned almost at random. According to MLB personnel, among the questions most asked by fans were 'Whatever happened with Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun? Are they still a team or did Fielder leave?' 'Why was there so much about Bryce Harper when he isn't even in the league yet?' and 'Stephen Strasburg came back, right? So then what?' Perhaps unsurprisingly, the frustration appears not to be limited to just the big names. 'I was really enjoying the whole Nyjer Morgan story for a while therethe guy was obviously headed for some sort of nutzoid meltdownbut then nothing came of it,' Omaha, NE fan Peter Jowett said. 'And I know lots of people were fascinated by the Indians, but they sort of got phased out. And what was that guy's name? Carl Crawford? Wasn't he supposed to be something? Weird how they all just faded into the background.' Saying they were sensitive to the needs of their fans, Major League Baseball issued a press release Tuesday thanking fans for their input and promising all their questions would be answered in due time. 'We know the drama and excitement of baseball is just as important to our fans as it is to us, and we fully realize that a Cardinals-Rangers series might have been be a letdown for many of our viewers,' the letter posted on MLB.com read in part. 'But we promise you, big things are ahead in 2012 as the story of the sport continues to unfold. Trust usyou won't believe what happens to Ozzie Guillen.' 
3	Gattaca Is Here: the Worlds First Recorded Genetic Modification of a Human EmbryoBy Melissa Dykes ViaScience Daily, Of course it would start with something positive, like attempting to cure a fatal blood disorder. The road to Hell, it is said, ispaved with good intentionsat least on the surface. Back to reality, however, and many of us have long ago realized that our world is run by a genocidal, technocratic elite: billionaires like vaccination-obsessed Bill Gates who modeled his enormous global population-controlling foundation after the global population-stabilizing Rockefeller Foundation andwho meets secretly with one-child policy worldwide advocate Ted Turner and others of similar minds in the Billionaires Club who discuss global concerns in regard to that pesky problem of overpopulation in the face of finite resources otherwise known as artificial scarcity. Eugenics fell out of favor hard with Hitler after World War II. Today these people are, as author Jurriaan Maessen would say, Crypto-Eugenicists. Its the new eugenics under a public relations strategy to hide that it is actually eugenics in plain sight. In essence, You seek to fulfill the aims of eugenics without disclosing what you are really aiming at and without mentioning the word. This is how the Eugenics Society conceived of its funding for the International Planned Parenthood Federation, wrote Matthew Connelly in Fatal Misconception: The Struggle to Control World Population. To these elite, there is a disposable us and a superior them. While they feel the world is vastly overpopulated, none of them are willing to go first. (Turner who continues to rally for that one-world, one-child policy has what, five kids? Again, one rule for us, one rule for them.) They feel entitled to creating the rules for everyone else to live by which they will dictate simply because they have more money and perceived power than the rest of us. They can buy up research. They can purchase policy. When we live in a world where the richest 67 people have more money than the 3.5 billion poorest half the planet we are no longer talking about a society where everyones voice is equal by any stretch of the imagination. And as concerned about our population as these elite openly are (never mind the data shows global population is set to stabilize then drop dramatically in the near future), it quickly becomes obvious thatwhen they discuss the transhumanist future of scientifically upgraded humans living forever, they do not mean everybody. In short, its a club and the vast majority of us are not in it. Historian Yuval Noah Hararis recent book Sapiens discusses the brave new world we are trekking straight into. Harari notes that the future will include body enhancements chemical, mechanical, electronic, and biological upgrades that will only be available to the very rich among us, leading to an even more unequal society on a much larger scale than ever before. The gap between rich and poor will continue to widen to unseen levels. Imagine sports teams of the future where only the rich kids can jump higher, run faster and thats just the very tip of the science-fiction-turned-reality iceberg we are about to crash into. In the 21st century medicine is moving onwards and trying to surpass the norm, to help people live longer, to have stronger memories, to have better control of their emotions. But upgrading like that is not an egalitarian project, its an elitist project. No matter what norm you reach, there is always another upgrade which is possible, Harari told the London Guardian. As weve reported before, when you hear what Bill Gates has to say about who should be allowed to get what treatment and that we should be careful about whether you want to make those innovations available to everyone, you realize his own rules dont actually apply to him and his family, only to you and yours. In the world these technocrats are ever so busy creating where man replaces God, who buys, shapes, controls, and essentially owns the science that would see a future of genetically altered humans? The same billionaires and big money that can be traced back to eugenics. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. In America, we already live in a country where the greater good philosophy has been used to advance medical tyranny. Where people are forced to vaccinate themselves and their children for the greater good even though the science is not settled because by its very nature science is never settled. A country where we have been forced to purchase medical insurance for the greater good or else we are forced to pay what is known as an Individual Shared Responsibility Payment. Never mind that, even though America spends more of its GDP on healthcare than any other nation on the planet, we are by far not the healthiest. Also try to ignore the fact that one of the Obamacare architects said it should not be our choice whether or not we get to live past the age of 75 because no one should. (Death panels, anyone?) Is mandated genetic testing for all which will at first be rolled out to help cut medical costs under the banner of preempting costly diseases down the road for the greater good really such a stretch? Hardly. People in high places are already demanding that all babies are genetically profiled at birth, and back in 2009, researchers claimed that in a mere decade, all babies could have their entire genomes mapped. What will be done with all that data? Think of all the potential flaws someone could get labeled with in the eyes of a cruel technocracy and how that will impact their entire life start-to-finish. Remember when futurist Richard Dawkins claimed it would be immoral to give birth to a child with Downs Syndrome if genetic testing of the fetus showed the baby carried the gene for it, and that the pregnant woman should just abort it and try again? Now imagine a world where the government can mandate just such an order for the greater good. And more orders! Downs is just a starting point on that road to Hell paved with those good intentions. Remember, it always begins with a hardcore example to get people on board before the bar is moved up. What is the value of someones life when rendered down to their genetic map in the face of the technocracys overpopulated world with finite resources? The United Kingdom has recently approved a controversial three-parentmitochondrial gene therapy where the DNA of an embryo would be altered in a way that will be passed on to future generations. We have no idea what thats actually going to look like in reality a few generations from now, but it sounds an awful lot like a genetically superior hybrid race is being bred. While it will start under the guise of freeing children ofmitochondrial disease, where exactly will it end? And what will happen if your children or their children cannot afford their genetic upgrades? It wont just be a better world for those who can afford them; it will be a world of penalization in every way imaginable for those who cannot. The bottom line is that not everyone will be able to afford genetically enhanced embryos in a world of lunatic technocratic elites and their artificial limitations, a world where many cannot even afford to fill their bellies as an insane wealth gap continues to widen. Because what we are seeing today was previously considered science fiction before now, lets look to science fiction to show us what the future will actually bring. The 1997 movie Gattaca immediately comes to mind. If you havent seen this movie, now is the time to watch it. If you have, maybe you should watch it again. In Gattacas (not-too-distant) future world, humans are commonly subjected to genetic engineering and ones DNA is the primary determinant of ones social class. Thus, prejudice and discrimination against those perceived as genetically inferior are rampant. Everything about a person from their job and position in society to how they are treated by everyone else is based on testing done on them and genetic upgrades made (or not made) before they were even born. Can you imagine such a world? Because we are about to live in it. Melissa Dykes (formerly Melton) is a co-founder of TruthstreamMedia.com, where this article first appeared.

2	FBI Is Coming For Hillary, Judge Reveals New Info That Will Bring Her Down [VIDEO] Frighteningly enough, Hillary Clinton is getting closer each day to securing the Democratic nomination. Now, word has come from Bryan Pagliono, the aide who setup her personal sever, that he is working with the Department of Justice. This is enough to shake the American political system to its foundation, Fox News resident Judge Andrew Napolitano commented. Napolitano also argued that Paglianos immunity indicates that the DOJ is probably well into the process of convening the grand jury. If thats the case, it means that the FBI feels it has enough evidence to indict Clinton and launch a criminal trial. He knows who led it and he knows who was in it, and hes about to spill the beans to a grand jury, Napolitano speculated, adding that Hillary Clinton should be terrified of the fact that hes been granted immunity. Mr. Pagliano is their nightmare, Napolitano concluded. Watch the interview below and tell us what you think. 
3	What is the TPP? A PrimerKimberly Paxton Read on for a TPP primer. What is the TPP? TPP stands for Trans-Pacific Partnership. The countries involved in this proposed partnership are the US, Japan, Australia, Peru, Malaysia, Vietnam, New Zealand, Chile, Singapore, Canada, Mexico, and Brunei Darussalam. It boils down to being a massive free trade agreement, which would eliminate tariffs on goods and services and harmonize various regulations between the partner countries. If the agreement goes through, it will affect more than 40% of the imports and exports of the United States. Why are so many people against the TPP? One of the major issues with the TPP is its effect on Freedom of Speech. Remember how everyone was concerned about the potential ramifications of SOPA and PIPA back when the US government was trying to crack down on internet piracy? Well, multiply that times a billion and then dont run it through Congress, and you have, in a nutshell, the future effects of the TPP on the Internet. Under the guise of protecting intellectual copyrights, if the TPP goes through, the Internet will change dramatically. It could turn Internet Service Providers into watchdogs, and threaten our ability to communicate unfettered on blogs, forums, websites and social media platforms. Fair Use policies will be restricted, existing copyrights will be greatly lengthened, and adopt criminal sanctions against those who infringe on copyrights, even without monetary motivations. Our own Constitutional checks and balances will no longer apply. There will be no right to privacy and no due process. Webpages can be taken down based on only a complaint proof will not be required. Innocent until proven guilty will not apply. So, this will aid Big Businesses like the pharmaceutical industry or the entertainment industry, while it restricts the ability of citizen journalists and every day people to share information. (Learn more HERE) How does the TPP have the potential to cause tension with China? Did you notice the major missing participant in the TPP? All those Asian countries are in like Flynn, but China is notably not playing ball. When everyone signs this agreement, and no tariffs apply, then Chinese goods will go from the cheapest to the most expensive. Their entire economy is based on exports. Their entire economy is at risk. The provisions deliberately exclude China. For example, yarn for clothing must come from member countries, and not from China. This could potentially invite retaliation from China, an economic superpower in their own right. Why is it all so secret? And now we come to the scariest part of the TPP. No one really knows what is in it. All of the information we have comes from documents that were leaked. We know that it has 29 chapters with regulations regarding food safety, who you can buy what product from, financial services, copyrights, and much more. We must always be suspect of the negotiation of potentially life-altering things that are done in secret. Generally this occurs because those making the plans know that the public will adamantly oppose what they are planning. According to a spokesman from the Office of the United States Trade Representative, the general public just isnt bright enough to grasp the finer points of the TPP, and thus should be kept in the dark until it is fait accompli. Will you be affected? This agreement could negatively affect everyone in the United States who works in manufacturing. It will affect those who share information on the Internet. One analysis has said that a small percentage of the wealthy will prosper, while the rest of the population will see their finances dwindle even more. It would ban Buy American or Buy Local purchasing and marketing practices. It will allow Big Pharma to increase the price of medicine and will disallow the sale of many generic medications. It will override environmental protection laws and policies that have been put in place by member countries. The list goes on and on. So yes, you will be affected, and unless you happen to be the owner of a major pharmaceutical company or financial institution, this will not be positive for you.

2	Disgusting Liberals Steal Trump Sign, Watch What Happens Immediately After... This Is Karma Three women in Maine saw immediate justice when they decided to steal signs supporting GOP nominee Donald Trump. Its clear they did not expect David Jones, chairman of the Make Maine Great Again Political Action Committee, to press charges against them for theft. According to reports from Fox News, Elizabeth Betta Stothart, Martha Murdick and Heidi Kendrick, were so outraged about the locker room talk audio tape, they decided to take matters into their own hands. Stothart later wrote that having so many Trump signs along a highway was disrespectful. We felt assaulted by the number of signs, she told reporters at The Washington Post. The idea of cleansing our streets seemed like the fastest way to restore balance and alleviate our election stressat least, that night it did. In mid-October, they grabbed about 40 signs and threw them in the hatchback. At the time, Stothart claims, they didnt even realize they were stealing personal property. That all changed when a police officer caught them in the act, took the sign, and sent then home. When David Jones was informed of the crime, he decided to press charges. I have a lot of explaining and apologizing to do, Stothart acknowledge. I also have advice for anyone who might be on the verge of doing something stupid. Its not worth it. Find a healthy way to express your outrage. What do you think? Do these three ladies deserve to be punished for their crimes? 
1	Republican National Convention officials are confirming that John McCain, the five-term senator from Arizona and former presidential nominee, has just shot and killed himself during his address to GOP delegates. McCainwho at various points during his speech seemed out of sorts and apparently went off prompter to ask the assembled crowd, What has this party become? What have I become?reportedly pulled out a .22-caliber Magnum revolver from his jacket pocket, held it to his head, stared unblinkingly at the crowd, and pulled the trigger, sending frightened attendees into a chaotic frenzy and his own limp body to the ground. At press time, the convention hall had been cleared. John McCain shot himself, a visibly shaken Republican delegate told reporters as medical personnel rushed the stage. He started rambling on about how somebody needed to send a message that this party had veered too far off course, and how if nobody else was going to do it, he would. Next thing I knew, I heard a gunshot. Hes dead, the delegate added. John McCain is dead. Though sources are confirming that McCain was seen talking and joking with fellow Republicans prior to his address, and that he gave no indication he was concealing a firearm, those close to the senator have said he privately expressed frustrated with the GOP as his position in the party weakened following his loss in the 2008 presidential election. Moreover, reports are now surfacing that McCain repeatedly referred to the 2004 RNC address in which he endorsed George W. Bush as the most humiliating experience of [his] life. While witnesses said that McCain waved, smiled, and seemed perfectly fine at the outset of his speech, they noted that minutes into the address the senator paused and glared at someones Romney-Ryan 2012 sign, at which point he stopped speaking, took a deep breath, andappearing somewhat dazedasked the crowd, Umwhere were we? which drew a round of uncomfortable laughter. Tonight we come together in this hall to support the next president of the United States, Mitt Romney, said McCain, who then shook his head, wiped beads of sweat from his brow, and muttered Mitt Romney to himself in a tone that many identified as troubled and confused. Mitt Romney is a, uhis a man of great moral character who stands for the sort of values this great party embodiesfairness, tolerance, giving the average American a chance. Mitt Romney is a hero. Folks, I cant do this, McCain added. I just cant do this anymore. Convention attendees said that McCain then went on a somewhat incoherent tangent about reaching the the end of his career and having regretsmore regrets than I thought Id ever have. He said his missteps included taking certain positions on issues purely for his own political gain, not standing up to his party on immigration reform and climate change, introducing Sarah Palin to the world, and sometimes just not doing what was right even though I knew, I definitely knew I was wrong. At one point, McCain, who was once known as a political maverick, asked the crowd when moderate became a four-letter word. My friends, Im not going to be around much longer, so I want to tell you this, said McCain, a decorated Vietnam war hero. I am for same-sex marriage if its implemented in an incremental way that makes sense. I am for a womans right to choose. I believe that human beings have caused this planet to overheat, and that those of you ignoring this issue should be ashamed of yourselves. Immigrants who arrived here as children should be given a path to citizenship. And the income gap in this country is unacceptable. I have always believed these things. And I also believe that this partys hard turn to the right is detrimental to the well-being and progress of this entire country. Goodbye, McCain added, and then put a bullet into his head. John Sidney McCain III was born on Aug. 29, 1936, at Coco Solo Naval Air Station in the Panama Canal Zone. He is survived by his mother, Roberta; his wife, Cindy; and his seven children. He was 76. 
2	Donald Trump Announces His Choice For Running Mate In 2016 Donald Trump has just gone public with who he wants as his running mate for 2016. He has indicated that his man is Senator Ted Cruz. Trump was asked about who he would want as his Vice President. He said, Ted Cruz is now agreeing with me 100 percent. He also said, Well, I like him. Hes backed everything Ive said. They share opinions on many topics such as border security and illegal immigration two huge problems the U.S. is currently facing. Before the interview ended, he also mentioned that if Cruz challenges him, he will take him out. Do you think Trump and Cruz would be a good partnership for the presidency? 
1	Fans of the wildly popular period drama Downton Abbey were delighted Friday when producers announced that, following another successful run on British television this fall, the show has been renewed for a fourth season, which they confirmed will be set in the Roaring 2120s. Series creator Julian Fellowes told The Hollywood Reporter that while many details of the upcoming season have yet to be finalized, fans can look forward to more salacious scandals, romantic intrigues, and social transformation as Intergalactic Warlord Ransom Glomphus III, his headstrong daughter Empress Zampthor, and other descendants of the Crawley family struggle to adjust to life on their colony in deep space following the First Interplanetary Strife. Downton fans around the world will be thrilled with what we have in store for the Crawley offspring and their service drones as they navigate life in the 22nd century, Fellowes said of the new season, which features eight new episodes and a film-length Christmas special set on a distant vacation crater. Robert, Earl of Grantham, once saved Downton by marrying the American heiress Cora. Now, new and old worlds collide again as their progeny vie for territory against a proud lineage of space clones who have forcibly invaded the familys colony. Meanwhile, Warlord Ransoms service drones struggle to reconcile their egalitarian sympathies and resentments toward the intergalactic elite with their pre-programmed instructions to fulfill directives at any cost, even if it means initiating shutdown procedures and deactivating, Fellowes continued. Fellowes acknowledged the new episodes may be a departure from previous seasons, but said fans can expect the same attention to period detailincluding meticulously designed costumes, elaborate sets, and exhaustively researched shooting locationsthat Downton viewers have always enjoyed. For example, season four opens with the impeccable service drone Carlson 24 serving food pills to Ransom as the warlord paces the deck of his transport ship, which producers confirmed was reconstructed from conceptual drawings of actual ships as they may one day appear. According to producer Liz Trubridge, the new season will feature British actress Imelda Staunton as Empress Zampthors redoubtable holographic nursemaid Zoolee 1114, who will add some comic relief to a narrative fraught with intergalactic violence and futuristic psychological warfare that is very disturbing at times. Scenes involving the harvesting of organs, for example, are very tough to watch, said Trubridge, referencing the seasons second episode. But one thing we know is that from wormholes to magnetic force fields to unfeeling cyborgs and heartless automatons, Julian [Fellowes] knows how to create an ensemble cast of memorable characters that will really feel like part of your family. 
2	Court Deals Christian Business Owners A Huge Blow For Refusing To Bake For Lesbian Marriage Aaron and Melissa Klein first made headlines when their bakery Sweet Cakes by Melissa refused to make a cake for a lesbian couple that was getting married. At the time, the couple claimed that their refusal was not about the couples sexual orientation, but instead was about their religious convictions. Still, the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries noted that there was enough evidence to prove that the Kleins were guilty of discrimination. And just last week, under the Oregon Equality Act of 2007, the couple was officially convicted of the charges. Now, reports indicate that the couple must pay $150,000 in damages. The act states that all persons within the jurisdiction of this state are entitled to the full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of any place of public accommodation, without any distinction, discrimination or restriction on account of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status or age if the individual is 18 years of age or older. In response to the ruling, Melissa posted the following message on her Facebook page: Our culture has accepted 2 huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someones lifestyle, you must fear or hate them. Second is that to love someone means that you must agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You dont have to compromise convictions to be compassionate. What do you think? Should the Kleins be punished for standing by their religious beliefs? 
2	The Apocalypse Is Upon Us, Huge Mysterious New Planet Appears In The Sky [VIDEO] YouTube user Melissa Huffman is making headlines after she used her smart phone to capture footage of a mysterious planet. Now, the video is raising major questions among Americans. In one particularly interesting comment, a YouTube viewer wrote: Ive been in and out of there so often recently that Im beginning to wonder if I should just move in permanently. I could put the house on Airbnb and live in a permanent state of readiness. Either way, I should definitely look into it. This time its a new planet which is thought to be planet Nibiru home to an alien race called the Anunnaki. This footage was recorded by YouTube user Melissa Huffman and though this may sound far fetched, but Im certainly not waiting around for that Halloween flyby. Ill be sitting in my nuclear bunker until I see any solid proof that the end of the world isnt nigh. What do you think of Huffmans footage? 
1	Recent Gmail convert William Ramsak, 23, said Monday that his 'heart goes out to' friend Kelly Oldenburg, who still sends e-mail through an MSN Hotmail account. 'I feel so bad for you, needing to squeeze into 250 MB of storage space,' Ramsak wrote to Oldenburg in an e-mail. 'And I hate thinking of you sorting all your old e-mail, while Gmail automatically indexes mine so they are searchable.' Ramsak then asked Oldenburg when he was going to 'stop being a Microstooge and join Team G.' 
2	New York Democrats Double Tax Of THIS Product And Create Massive Black Market Issue New York has just stunned America by raising their cigarette tax, leaving the average pack at $10.60. This increase has resulted in a unforeseen consequences. New Yorks revenue from cigarette taxes has dropped a jaw dropping $400 million, due to the creation of a black market. Liberals think they know what they are doing, but really this mission to try and control Americans is wrong and unethical. Tax on cigarettes has increased from $2.75 a pack in 2006, to $4.35 in 2010. Now the tax has been raised to the range of $6-$8. New Yorks logical is all messed up, and they clearly never took basic economics. Its time to reverse these ridiculous taxes, and let the market fix itself. Do you think this tax hike should be reversed? 
2	Meat Company Requires Workers To Verify U.S. Citizenship, So Obama Goes After Them In THIS Sickening Way According to recent reports, the Obama administration just fined a Nebraska meat company $200,000 for asking their employees to provide their legal status and prove U.S. citizenship. The suit was filed on ground of discrimination. The company, Nebraska Beef Ltd., may now be required to back pay any one that theyve turned down. According to the Department of Justice: The departments investigation found that the company required non-U.S. citizens, but not similarly-situated U.S. citizens, to present specific documentary proof of their immigration status to verify their employment eligibility. The INAs anti-discrimination provision prohibits employers from making documentary demands based on citizenship or national origin when verifying an employees authorization to work. The department is committed to ensuring that individuals who are authorized to work in the United States can support their families and contribute to our countrys economic growth without facing unnecessary and discriminatory barriers to employment. We will vigorously enforce the law to remove such barriers where we find them, and ensure that affected individuals have a means of seeking relief. What do you think? Is it completely absurd to sue a company for doing due diligence to make sure they are not hiring illegal workers? 
3	Ginger Induces Leukemia Cell SuicideHeather Callaghan This majestic culinary darling does way more than help with nausea and upset stomach. Way more. Recently, a milestone study found that ginger actually fights several species of drug-resistant bacteria. It is well documented in studies for shrinking tumors in mice with hard to treat cancers. Here we have yet another study on gingers mighty effects against a relentless cancer. Shogaol, specifically 6-Shogaol, was the subject of a 2013 Chinese study, in vitro and in vivo. In the petri dish and in the living being. Their process, using6-shogaol compound from ginger (Zingiber officinale): I did not see where there were measurements of the tumors while inside the mice. Rather, after the 20 days, the mice were killed and their tumors were further studied in a solution that revealed cancer apoptosis. I was hoping to see the mice declared cancer-free eventually since they already confirmed apoptosis three times in vitro, and it would have been interesting to see the length of time for the leukemia to disappear. In 2003, another similar study on a different component of ginger gingerol found that it too, induced the death of leukemia cells, by fragmenting their DNA. Of course, it appears that these studies are largely done, and with isolates, to see if pharmacological drugs can be made (patented) for cancer treatment. Still, it is eye-opening to see the astounding medicinal effects of this spice. Ginger has no side effects, unless there is an allergy. But consultation should be sought before eating/taking extra amounts if taking diabetic, heart, blood thinner medication or painkillers (even over-the-counter). Its a bit worrisome that the FDA has taken extra scrutiny towards spices like ginger even as medicinal science continuously announces its marvels. Did you know that the FDA recently did a 200+ page report attempting to paint spices as a deadly substance??It actually coincides with when the above study was published. When you see the summary of their report, you will see how ridiculous that portrayal is! When it comes to tuberous roots, organic matters. You can get organic bulk ginger spice, surprisingly inexpensive (compared to non-organic spice bottles at the grocer) at the health food store. They also like to carry liquid extracts, ginger candy and soda pops infused with real ginger. You can also make your own. Make your own tea by boiling water and adding a peeled, chopped or grated inch of ginger and add sweetener. Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist.

2	Sheriff Who Challenged Obamas Birth Certificate Is Being Charged With THIS Sherrif Joe Arpaio has become famous in the United States for standing up to President Obamas policies, challenging his heritage, and more recently being in contempt of court after he refused to stop racial profiling. Recently, Arpaio and his three assistants were called to appear in front of U.S. District Judge Murray Snow, where they admitted that they continued to use profiling in their immigration patrols. They all believe that they have been treated unfairly by the courts. Still, Judge Snow ruled that the patrols are racist and unfairly target Latinos. Some argue that the harsh ruling could really be a result of Arpaios shots at Obama. Its a felony! Arpaio said last year of the Presidents document forgery. Im locking people up every day for forged documents that are here illegally. What do you think? Do you support Sheriff Arpaoi or has he taken things too far?

2	Primarily Black School Snubs Professor for Being White According to recent reports, Alabama State University (ASU) is being sued for discriminating against a white professor because of his race. Dr. John Garland claims that the primarily African American university discriminated against him when he was applying for available positions at the university. Further, he claims that the university went on to target him when he spoke out against the discrimination. [Garlands supervisor] expressed his opinion, stated or implied, that Dr. Garland did not belong at the University and was not suited to [the Universitys] type of students because Dr. Garland is not African-American, the lawsuit states. Garland is an active member of the American Indian Choctaw Nation, but is often identified as being white by his colleagues. He was hired at ASU as an adjunct professor in 2008, and officially became an assistant professor for the Master of Rehabilitation Counseling program in 2009. A small, powerful group at the University believes that Garland [has] no place at the University simply because of [his] non-African-American or non-Black identity, his lawsuit claims, This group, including combinations of the individually named Defendants, have conspired to destroy the careers and employment of [the] dedicated teacher. 
3	Regarding Gun Control: What is an Assault Rifle?Earl Griffin, Contributor There is a falsehood being perpetrated upon the public. You see an Assault Rifle has what is known as a selector switch. This switch allows the shooter to change the weapons function from semi-automatic (like a hunting gun) to rapid fire or in some cases auto fire. Rapid fire allows the weapon to fire a burst of three rounds. Auto fire allows it to continue to fire so long as the trigger is depressed. This is important: An AR15 is NOT an Assault Rifle. Its Military counterpart, the M16 IS an Assault Rifle. The AR15 is made of modern materials, and because of that its detractors like to say it is something that it is not. The AR15 is NOT an Assault Rifle. The term Assault Rifle, is a value-loaded term much like Terrorism. Those who wish to manipulate public sentiment like to use these kinds of terms to sway the opinions of those who dont really know much about the topic but who love their families and want things to get better. Here is something to think about: The AR15 is just another semi-automatic firearm, much like a 12-gauge shotgun used for bird hunting or a semi-automatic hunting rifle used for deer. It is not at all unlike a boys .22 caliber rifle used for squirrel or rabbit hunting. The big difference is that it is made of modern materials instead of wood. If you allow the proponents of gun control to describe every semi automatic rifle (and shotguns it is the same action) then the next step in this nefarious exercise will be to ban ALL semi-automatic rifles and shotguns that means your hunting weapons. It also means your family heirlooms passed down from granddad or dad. In conclusion let me repeat: The AR15 is just another semi-automatic rifle with a fancy stock made of modern materials. It is not a Machine Gun, or an Assault Rifle. No amount of describing it this way will change this. People who use those terms either dont know what an Assault Rifle really is or they are perpetrating a mean-spirited falsehood designed ultimately to rob you of your 2nd Amendment rights. Do your own homework. Do your own thinking. Dont get carried away by emotion, as doing so makes it easier for others to exert control over you. Protect every word of the Constitution. Stand firm against those who would see your rights curtailed. They will not be satisfied until there is no Second Amendment.

3	Mind Control and Narrative Psy-OpsThe plot thickens Happiness Brigades could soon be part of every town and smart city making us brimful of sunshine to fulfill the United Nations mandate for Gross Global Happiness. Tracked and monitored, the not-yet-happy could be brought up to spec with a specialized brain zapper, such as the ultrasonic neural interface funded by DARPA. Pfff!, you may be thinking I just wont use it! but smart ID chips are already being phased in as part of the global federated identity ecosystem, and chances of avoiding these are looking slim. The ID proposals include hackable biometrics, which will push us closer to passthoughts that rely on our unique, live, brainwave patterns; DARPAs portable brain recording device (EEG) could be used for this. So can heartbeat sensors (ECG). The smartphones which well be expected to use for ID, payment, health services, and life-logging, are ridiculously prone to loss and theft, so by the time ubiquitous surveillance, implants, and neural interfaces have become normal, connecting your brain to the Internet might seem like a natural step. This, of course, would then make us the most vulnerable we could ever be. So just what are these brain zappers, and what do we mean when we talk about mind control? Zapping the brain can have a great many good uses, but these have to be weighed against the equal number of potential bads. Scientists have discovered its possible to send signals to the brain to control a persons movements, just like voodoo. They can cure or cause addiction. They can make you happy, or they can make you sad. As for mind control, times have moved on, and the new methods of public manipulation are slicker than ever. Ye Olde Propaganda has always been a political tool, such as spreading rumors about adversaries, and winning hearts and minds by guile. The early days of scientific propaganda, though, can be traced back to Edward Bernays, and a story he created, using his media connections, to get women to start smoking. This was also the beginning of branding the women on TV were said to be smoking torches of freedom. Time moved on, the Internet arrived and big data took over. There was so much data they didnt know what to do. They had to put it into an understandable format, to be able to analyse, communicate and act upon the data being gathered. So in the last decade, intelligence agencies, and even corporations, have begun to frame their reports as narratives which shape, explain, and make sense of the data. Cognitive computers themselves can do this creating news articles from pooled data, just like Im doing here, but with no human being involved. These computer-generated narratives are also on DARPAs wish list, along with sensors to monitor peoples reactions to stories, in real-time. As for propaganda, now called strategic communications, the powers-that-be see it all in terms of telling a story. Defence departments are now focused on creating counter-narratives, i.e. stories they believe will counteract the effects of radicalism. DARPAS Narrative Networks program made the news in 2011 the link to propaganda was clear to all. So its important to understand that the program is still going! Moreover, stories can be used to affect changes in a persons beliefs, their sense of identity, and even memory, partly because they stimulate the release of brain chemicals. So can neural interfaces. And DARPAs funding of neural interfaces and storytellers is part of this program. There are several ways to zap the brain usually involving electrical and/or magnetic energy. The most common istranscranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) when targeted at a specific area in the brain, TMS can create a variety of effects, including emotional changes, and even bodily movement. As reported by selfnews Post, DARPA funded a study at Arizona State University, which aimed to, (i) map out the precise areas of the brain that are affected by stories; (ii) analyse how people respond to specific stories; and (iii) test ways of changing their response to a story, i.e. by altering the story format, and/or zapping their brains with TMS. This technique is more properly referred to asneuromodulation, and involves stimulating the release of neurotransmitters by targeting specific areas of the brain with electromagnetic pulses; its being used to treat neurological and psychiatric disorders, in place of medication. Whilst more serious conditions have been treated with deep brain stimulation, using implanted microchips, people with pain and depression can be treated with TMS using a headset for the duration of the therapy. Unlike EEG recording devices (read-only), this headset is a computer-to-brain interface (CBI), since signals are sent to the brain, from a computer (i.e. write-only). Obviously, this is where we start to get on very dodgy ground indeed. Especially when we find out that DARPAs interest in narrative networks extends to the way both stories and TMS affect a persons brain chemistry: they stimulate the release of profoundly important neurotransmitters (and/or hormones), especially dopamine and oxytocin. DARPAs research, led by General Casebeer, has found that stories affect our emotions, our cultural and religious beliefs, and even memory. In other words, the narratives we hear (on TV, in the news, blogs, tweets, etc) affect important brain chemicals, and therefore our very identities. And so do pulsed electromagnetic fields such as TMS. TMS can only be delivered via either a CBI or implants. As noted in my last article, BCI headsets, such as those made by Emotiv and Neurosky, are well-developed and becoming popular amongst neuro-gamers and quantified-selfers. CBIs are less advanced, as their use is far morecomplicated. However, neuromodulation is being used to treat a wide range of problems (including depression, and chronic pain), which is likely to stimulate growth in the market[1] for personal brain zappers. DARPA is clearly aware of the vast range of possible applications for these devices, and have also been funding a new way of altering brain chemistry, called pulsed ultrasound, along with the US Department of Defense, and the US Army. Often referred to as focused ultrasound (FUS), this technology made the news in 2010, when William J Tyler, whilst at Arizona State University, won an award from DARPA for research into CBIs which use ultrasonic pulses[2] to effect a variety of changes in the brain. Tyler has also worked with the Army Research Lab to look for ways to encode sensory data onto the cortex using pulsed ultrasound which can be focused through the skull to any discrete region of the brain with millimeter accuracy. Tyler has published several papers showing the effects achieved using pulsed ultrasound, and has a company called NeuroTrek (formerly Synsonix, Inc.), which has received substantial sums from government funding. NeuroTrek sees its device as having applicability beyond serious medical conditions, and beyond the battlefield, claiming it could be used by gamers, the communications industry, and the entertainment industry. Researchers at Arizona State University have also published several papers on pulsed ultrasound, as well as several patent application. Last year, Tyler filed a patent application for Devices and Methods for Modulating Brain Activity and another one this month (Optimization of Ultrasound Waveform Characteristics for Transcranial Ultrasound Neuromodulation), with two of his colleagues (one of whom includes Daniel Wetmore, who has contributed to the submission of several FUS patent applications; see also D P Jang, et al,in Korea). An article in popsci.com quoted Tyler as saying, Maybe the next generation of social entertainment networks will involve downloading customized information or experiences from personalized computer clouds while encoding them into the brain using ultrasound. I see no reason to rule out that possibility. Focused ultrasound can deliver, complex spatiotemporal patterns of acoustic waves to achieve similar results to TMS, but has a spatial resolution which is five times greater, and can reach far deeper into the brain, meaning a lot more can be done with it, such as: Ahem! Did you notice behavioral reinforcement on that list? Are you thinking Pavlovs dogs, aka operant conditioning? Youd be right ultrasound delivered via a CBI can be used to activate reward pathways (dopamine) in the brain, which,may be used to condition and/or reinforce certain desired attributes and/or to motivate specific behavioral actions. . .rats conditioned to press a bar to receive intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) of [specific parts of the brain] will lead to reinforcing behaviors such that the rat ignores all other environmental cues and will engage in repeated bar pressing behaviors in order to gain the reinforcing/pleasure inducing ICSS of those brain nuclei. Sure sounds like addiction to me. Soooo . . . Just stay away from them there mind-machines, eh? Errrm, well, that might not save you from having your brain messed with, Im afraid. You see, propaganda has taken an entirely new turn. Its gone from putting a spin on things, to an attempt to oversee the stories we all hear, whether its the news, or blogs we read, and even Tweets, or posts on Internet forums. DARPA has spent several years analysing universal narrative structures, and the physiological effects they have on people, as well as tracking popular narratives (and the memes they produce) in social media. (Ill explain this more in a separate article.) General Casebeer, who is leading the research on narrative networks for DARPA, notes the sense of reward is linked to the production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter which can affect whether you like or dislike a story, and which also enervates several important parts of the brain responsible for memory, drive, judgment. There are numerous other hugely influential neurotransmitters[3] than can be modulated by both neural interfaces and stories, including oxytocin (the love hormone). This powerful brain chemical is linked to the modulation of trust. Paul Zak, who has worked with General Casebeer on creating persuasive narratives, even believes our level of morality is dependent on the level of oxytocin we produce (psychopaths have little of it in situations that make other people release loads!). Zak and Casebeer contributed to a high-level meeting on the use of narratives to stop terrorism. This meeting, attended by researchers, and military and federal agencies, was convened to examine the Neurobiology of Political Violence, including discussion of TMS, which can turn parts of the human brain on and off. Casebeer noted, There is some emerging work being done on how Tweets can create a rise in oxytocin release based on message content. We should bear in mind here the US Governments Strategic Communications plan, which involves sentiment analysis, the use of counter-narratives, and downvoting stories which it does not approve of, preventing discussion of certain banned topics, as well as using persona management software to create false identities, and thus manipulate public perception of news and fool people into believing in a false popular consensus. This astroturfingtechnique has become common, and is just one part of the new Psy-op strategy controlling the conversation. By manipulating the news we hear, our primal responses can therefore be influenced, without us even knowing it. Obviously this has been going on for years, in the form of propaganda and reputation control, but the methods just keep getting slicker, and all the more insidious. Narratives are becoming the weapon of choice, said to be capable of nipping radicalisation in the bud. Terrorists are said to be radicalised by influential others, as if it were something done to them, and bit by bit, radicalisation is being defined as mistrust of government, which could one day mean little indignant nobodies such as myself being listed as dangerous! I digress. The point is that CBIs could become commonplace, given the huge range of potential applications, such as moderating the production of brain chemicals involved in emotion (e.g. serotonin), much like psychotropic drugs.[4] Brain-to-computer interfaces (BCIs) are already being used to link peoples minds/feelings to a movie theyre watching. MyndPlay have devised an EEG headset (using Neuroskys microchips) which monitors the viewers emotional reactions to the movie, and changes the ending accordingly. (As a side note, analysing their state of mind also provides an insight into the kind of personality they have!) Maybe some people would want the signal to work the other way as well, so when theyre watching a movie, their brain chemicals can be boosted to give them a more immersive experience. How about a boost of adrenaline for the fight scenes, or a dose of oxytocin to feel, empathically, what the characters in the film are feeling? What could be better? (says she, sarcastically). Both narrative therapy and TMS are now being recommended for the treatment of depression. How long till Hollywood gets hold of it? Its a lot harder to bring a CBI to market than it is a BCI, because of the direction in which it works! There will always be issues with insurance, and brain zapping techniques are still in the early stages of development/understanding. Should the use of CBIs become widespread, they could be used to condition people in almost any way imaginable. What is perhaps even more frightening is that it is now technically feasible that ultrasound techniques could be used, to activate sensory or motor brain regions of the subject to produce movement or to create synthetic brain imagery. For example . projections of visual sounds to auditory regions of the brain, ability to generate virtual maps/images onto visual brain regions, ability to control body movement patterns of an individual. Such brain stimulation may . cause the subject to make a turning motion in order to guide that subject via GPS or other feedback from navigation technology, or stimulate motor areas of the subjects brain to cause the subject to make a motor action. Such methods and devices may be used for any application, including but not limited to, recreational, entertainment, and/or video gaming applications. (my italics) In fact, this was done with a brain-to-brain interface(BBI) earlier this year! By the power of thought, and the use of transcranial focused ultrasound (FUS), a researcher was able to cause a rats tail to move. (Video of this on YouTubehas a strobe in it.) Even more astounding is the announcement this week that human-to-human neural interfacing has been achieved, as shown in the video below: Neural dust (powered by ultrasound), which was proposed last month, remains an undeveloped concept, whilst research into optogenetics has made significant progress. The mind boggles. It used to be that people had to guess what the public wanted; they could do polls and ask around people in the know, or even rely on hunches, but now things are very slick and super-sneaky. The definition of propaganda will, in fact, need to change; data from mass surveillance is being used to create targeted messages, which could be embedded into news articles, movies, TV shows, blogs, online forums, speeches, etc, for both political and commercial purposes, whilst our brains are monitored for our reactions, and possibly even neuromodulated to ensure our well-being, as each nation strives for Gross National Happiness. The new propaganda is sooooo subliminal, you and I might not notice. It may even be that events are being engineered over time to create the narrative that will be our history; perhaps people like me are being framed as conspiracy theorists to serve a future purpose, as the characters in a future story of how we got here, who threatened the peace of the world, and had to be made happy. It used to be that the study of narrative belonged mainly to the literary world, encompassing other subjective concerns such as philosophy, and history. Not any more. Forever in the name of fighting terrorism, the scientific study of stories breaches our last frontier, and could be used to reveal, and possibly even directly control, our unconscious minds. It used to be that wed worry about what would one day be possible, and weve grown up on a diet of media memes that help us imagine Orwellian scenes. Now we know how we can be controlled, even from a distance and we can even list the brand names. The next step is mass production, the essence of mission creep. Here endeth yet another sorry tale of a nightmare life, another affirmation of the craziness of the world. Perhaps the alternative media-sphere, just by trying to understand what is going on, has come to function like predictive programming! So much doom and gloom. Lots of newsworthy possibilities, waiting in the wings to become our future reality, as if theres no alternative. But really, it neednt be so. There are those among you with creative flair, visions, and ideas. Storytellers and artists. So help us please with tales of brighter imaginings, sing us songs and tell us stories of a better world thats coming. Dream a dream and change the narrative so we see the future that you see. A better place to be. Footnotes: The neuromodulation technique acts directly upon nerves or the target area where the activity of nerves is altered due to biological responses produced by electrical stimulation or drug infusion. These devices include small electrodes that are attached to the brain, the spinal cord, or peripheral nerves. These precisely placed leads are connected by means of an extension cable to a pulse generator to generate electrical stimulation. Neuromodulation can have applications in any area of the body and can treat several diseases like chronic pain, epilepsy, psychiatric disorder, movement disorder, cardiovascular disorder, genitourinary and colorectal disorder, stroke and brain injury, and gastric disorder.

1	Sources close to Buckingham Palace are confirming that members of the Royal Family convened today to celebrate the infant princes first meal. The queen herself couldnt help but laugh and smile when His Royal Highness hungrily gobbled down his first bite, said an anonymous source who attended the feeding, noting that while the young child ate more than anyone expected, and seemed to want even more, most of his supper ended up smeared around his face and hands. It really was quite adorable watching him gleefully fling his food about the room. The little prince really made quite the mess. According to sources, the royal baby was fed largely by his grandfather Charles, the Prince of Wales. 
1	As NBA free agency continues to take shape, sources close to the Philadelphia 76ers front office confirmed Thursday that the team has enough cap space this offseason to completely enrage its fan base. The Sixers are more than $30 million under the cap, which means they can theoretically make a number of moves that leave their fans humiliated and utterly hopeless, all without having to pay any luxury tax, said ESPN NBA analyst Marc Jackson, adding that Philadelphia has enough salary to offer inflated long-term contracts to multiple incredibly overhyped free agents, effectively torpedoing the teams playoff hopes for the next decade. They have plenty of options at this point. Do they pay way too much for a declining, 32-year-old Carlos Boozer? Or do they opt to just throw away future draft picks in order to build a team around the fatally flawed core of Amare Stoudemire, Derrick Williams, and Joel Embiid? With this much money available, there are just so many ways they can perpetually infuriate every single basketball fan in Philadelphia for the foreseeable future. Jackson went on to say the most likely scenario would be the 76ers simply refusing to spend any money at all and forcing their fans to watch the current roster play another full season. 
3	The US Govt is Blaming the 4th Amendment Edward Snowden for Paris Attacks SeriouslyBy Justin Gardner The surveillance state, exposed through brave whistleblowers such as Edward Snowden, has come under immense criticism. But government officials found their stride again with the Paris attacks. On Monday, CIA director John Brennan criticized new privacy protections, claiming that they are hampering governments ability to find the terrorists. He also continued the push for law enforcement to get backdoor access to everyones encrypted smartphones. In his remarks, Brennan said the attacks should serve as a wake-up call for those misrepresenting what intelligence services do to protect innocent civilians. He cited a number of unauthorized disclosures, and a lot of handwringing over the governments role in the effort to try to uncover these terrorists. The message was delivered at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, after a video surfaced of what appears to be ISIS fighters threatening to kill Americans and Europeans. The video proved to be quite useful for Brennans fear campaign. I would anticipate that this is not the only operation ISIL has in the pipeline, said Brennan. Its not going to content itself with violence inside of the Syrian and Iraqi borders. They have gone to school on what it is that they need to do to in order to keep their activities concealed from the authorities, he said of the terrorists purported advanced capabilities. What Brennan means by concealed from the authorities is nothing more thanprivacy,guaranteed under the fourth amendment of the Constitution. Because a terrorist can hide things from the government, in Brennans eyes, no one should be able to hide things from the government. Also,no evidence has been offered to support the claim that the Paris attackers used encrypted communication. Nonetheless, the attack will be used by authorities to counter not only privacy concernsbut security concerns. Technology experts have warned that mandating backdoors into everyones encrypted devices will erode Internet security and make it easy for hackers to carry out identity theft. Brennans cynicism toward those who wish to restore constitutional protections is well known, as he demonstrated in September by saying rights activists may be fueled by our adversaries. Several mouthpieces of the propaganda machine have also paraded across MSM channels, and their favorite target is Edward Snowden. Former CIA director James Woolsey said on MSNBC that Snowden has blood on his hands for the Paris attacks. Hacks at the National Counterterrorism Center are echoing the claim that exposure of intelligence collection techniques allowed this act of terrorism. However, Glenn Greenwald provided a simple rebuttal to these red herrings. One key premise here seems to be that prior to the Snowden reporting, The Terrorists helpfully and stupidly used telephones and unencrypted emails to plot, so Western governments were able to track their plotting and disrupt at least large-scale attacks. That would come as a massive surprise to the victims of the attacks of 2002 in Bali, 2004 in Madrid, 2005 in London, 2008 in Mumbai, and April 2013 at the Boston Marathon. How did the multiple perpetrators of those well-coordinated attacks all of which were carried out prior to Snowdens June 2013 revelations hide their communications from detection? This is a glaring case where propagandists cant keep their stories straight. The implicit premise of this accusation is that The Terrorists didnt know to avoid telephones or how to use effective encryption until Snowden came along and told them. Yet weve been warned for years and years before Snowden that The Terrorists are so diabolical and sophisticated that they engage in all sorts of complex techniques to evade electronic surveillance. By itself, the glorious mythology of How the U.S. Tracked Osama bin Laden should make anyone embarrassed to make these claims. After all, the central premise of that storyline is that bin Laden only used trusted couriers to communicate because al Qaeda knew for decades to avoid electronic means of communication because the U.S. and others could spy on those communications. Remember all that? Zero Dark Thirty and the harsh but effective interrogation of bin Ladens official messenger? Greenwald goes on to say how blaming Snowden is a desperate attempt to shift blame for the terror attacks onto whistleblowers, journalists and encryption technology. Even more worrisome than the inability of government to recognize its own mistakes is the incessant drive to cement the surveillance-military state onto the fabric of modern life further criminalizing the behavior of innocent citizens. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com More fodder for American sheeple. Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. Benjamin Franklin Yes, I accept some things need done to offer security. No, I do not accept our liberties or freedoms need to be abolished by whim of tyrant/s to offer security. From the article, I can easily see how having back doors into everything would endanger security far more than not having them. Does this imply I do not trust government? It may. I know human beings in knowing myself. With that knowledge is awareness that I would not trust myself as an authority. How could I trust any other human as an authority, then? This is simple deductive reasoning and logic. Last time the NSA put backdoors into intel chips and most commercial PC security the result was $12 billion dollars in fraudulent tax return claims in 2011 alone, due to stolen identities. Lets not go down that road again. Read IRS Paid $5.8 Billion In Fraudulent Refunds, Identity Theft Efforts Need Work by Forbes I chuckle too. Wife I use AMD based CPU, both at least 64 bit chips. We have also been using Linux for over a decade or more. Not too concerned to try Intel based chips, or any Microsoft software again. thanks but no thanks. Im certain at this point, we as a people are very much aware. We ARE armed and prepared, in spite of the efforts of those sworn to uphold, serve, and protect the Constitution and the people of this nation. For the most part, we do not fear. We feel anger at our betrayal. We feel loss, of what this country was. We feel hope and determination, for what it will once again become. We feel justified in our rage at representatives who refuse to represent us, at a congress who draws such tremendous salary and benefits while rarely showing up to even acknowledge their obligations, at a presidential imposter, who usurps kingship over sworn oath of office, and at the courts which uphold from cowardly shadows the criminal actions of all of these puppets for their chosen corporate masters.

2	Angelina Jolie Risks Everything To Defy Obama After Orlando Shooting [VIDEO] Not even a day after 49 people were killed at a nightclub in Orlando, FL, Barack Obama was already using the tragedy to push his anti-gun agenda. One would think that liberal celebrities would support the president and speak out against guns. So you can imagine the worlds surprise when Hollywood superstars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt revealed that they are proud gun owners. According to reports, Jolie revealed that she is sufficiently trained in combat techniques she learned while training for several action films. She also claims that she is confident in her ability to fire a gun. If anybody comes into my home and tries to hurt my kids, she declared. I have no problem shooting them. Pitt also revealed his long history with guns that started in his childhood. I got my first BB gun when I was in nursery school, he commented. I got my first shotgun by first grade, I had shot a handgun by third grade and I grew up in a pretty sane environment. Pitt has also been a strong defender of the Second Amendment, claiming that America was founded on guns. Its very strange, he concluded. But I feel better having a gun. I really do. I dont feel safe, I dont feel the house is completely safe, if I dont have one hidden somewhere. What do you think of Brad and Angelinas comments? 
1	An International Association of Athletics Federations ruling Monday disallowing double-leg amputee Oscar Pistorius, who uses special Cheetah-brand racing prosthetics, from participating in the 2008 Beijing Olympics has left over 70 U.S. Olympic track and field hopefuls feeling 'pretty stupid' for their recent decisions to cut off their own legs in an attempt to gain a similar advantage. 'I really wish they would have told me before I amputated my legs that I wouldn't be allowed to run with those performance-enhancing prosthetic limbs,' 110-m. hurdles competitor David Payne said from his recovery room at the Johns Hopkins intensive care unit. 'If I was going to be hobbled by being forced to use my healthy, normal legs to run, I should have been informed. Damn it.' Though the IAAF has remained steadfast in its decision, over 1,200 Olympic hopefuls from all representative countries have also cut off their own legs as a display of solidarity with their fellow competitors.

Anyone who raises their hand against us will have their hand cut off. We will use and not hesitate to use all means at our disposal to restore calm, Netanyahu continued. Im sure the steps we will take will let the other side know that terror doesnt pay. What do you think? Do you admire Netanyahu for his fearlessness as a leader?

Still, the man was clearly getting more aggravated. At some point, he made the decision to go to his car and retrieve a gun. When he returned, he shot Jones in the thigh. Im quite sure you have a lot of people having their own opinions, Jones mother said of the incident. But that doesnt mean you should hurt somebody because you have your own opinion. The suspect fled the scene, and has not yet been located. 
3	Protesters in New York Burn Gun Registration FormsLily Dane Last Sunday, gun rights advocates met at the Saratoga-Wilton Elks Lodge 161 in Saratoga Springs to protest the registration requirement. News10.com reported from the event: The event was organized by the NY2A Grassroots Coalition. Co-founder Jake Palmateer told Post Star that said the goal is for people not to register their assault weapon as an act of civil disobedience: Palmateer estimates that less than 3,000 New York assault weapons have been registered and he says State Police estimated that there are several hundred thousand. The gun industry believes the number may be high as 1.2 million, he said. Palmateer said the SAFE Act infringes on due process rights, the right to privacy and the right to equal protection under the law. Other event participants told the Post Star why they participated in the protest: Protesters said they hope that so few people register their guns that the registry portion of the law fails. Connecticut passed a similar law last year that was also met with resistance, as Kimberly Paxton reported: About 50,000 people in CT registered their guns, and officials said that was just a small percentage. They estimated that up to 350,000 assault weapons remained unregistered as of the deadline. Paxton also pointed out that history has proven that registration often leads to confiscation: Has a law ever prevented a crime? Clearly, registration is about control and ultimately, disarming the people. Lily Dane is a staff writer for The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared.

2	Father In Hot Water For Taking Extreme Measures To Keep Son From Joining Gang A new video posted to Facebook has gone viral, receiving 2 million views and thousands of controversial comments in the past few days. The video shows Emmanual Matos, a concerned father, disciplining his son for wanting to join a gang. Some are deeming Matos Father of the Year for his actions. Others are calling for disciplinary action against him. The video opens with Matos addressing the gang members that attempted to recruit his son. He then proceeds to make it absolutely clear that his son will not be joining their gang. After his daunting introduction, Matos tells his son to show the gang sign to the camera. When his son obeys, he slaps him across the face. My son will not be in a gang, Matos tells the camera, stating that he will focus on basketball and school instead. Whoever has a problem, come see me. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
2	2 Muslim Men Seen Buying 30 Propane Tanks At Home Depot Americans are being encouraged by the Obama Administration to turn their back on their instinctsbut some things just cannot be ignored. According to recent reports, the Florida shopper got a bad feeling when he saw two Muslim men in full dress outside of the store. Surveillance camera caught the two men stocking up on propane tanks. That in itself may not be cause for alarm. However, the men were buying a suspicious amount of propane. Nearly 30 tanks were being loaded into the back of their pickup truck! This is part of a string of similar purchases, with at least six Walmart stores in Missouri reporting Muslim men buying hundreds of throwaway cellphones and similar items. There have also been supports of cans of propane being stolen. What do you think? Does this need to be investigated further? This has nothing to do with discriminationthis would be suspicious for anyone! 
3	Interplanetary Communication With Robots Tested by NASANicholas West The new communications protocol is named Disruption Tolerant Networking and is being hailed as a giant leap for space exploration in its ability to hop across typical communication breaks and errors that would occur within the Earth-based Internet Protocol system. (Source) Although it is in its infancy and has very limited applications, one of the team leaders for this initiative is Vinton Cerf, who prominently factors into the history of the Internet. This new space-based Internet, similar to the original, appears to be rooted in military and intelligence connections. Cerf is an alumnus of Stanford, which spawned The Stanford Research Institute that worked in conjunction with a host of government agencies, including DARPA, to create Internet communications as Cerf himself admits. Cerf has also worked for CIA-connected Google as an Internet Evangelist. The Internet from the beginning seems to have been tailor made to adopt some of the backdoor surveillance we are witnessing today. (Source) This appears at the moment to be a quite distant possibility, but we would do well to keep in mind that what is revealed to the public is often a minimum of decades behind what is actually possible. 
3	Monsanto Threatens Lawsuit Against Vermont for GMO Labeling BillMike Barrett Sadly, Vermont elected public officials may surrender to the threats and intimidation brought about by the GMO creator. The bill, known as the VT Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act, or H-722, was introduced to the Vermont House of Representatives byRepresentative Kate Webb of Shelburne on February 1st, 2012. The bill would require the labeling of not only products filled entirely with GMOs, but also for those partially created using GM ingredients. Whats more, GMO food manufacturers using promotional labels such as natural, naturally made, naturally grown, all natural, and other similar statements, would be prohibited. Despite a majority (6 to 5) of Agriculture Committee members supporting passage of the bill, and thousands of people voicing their support for the bill, legislators of Vermont are putting the labeling bill on hold and refusing to take a vote. Legislators are calling for more public hearings on April 12, while only four weeks remain until legislature is postponed. In 1994, Vermont became the first state to require milk and dairy products derived from cows injected with the controversial genetically engineered Bovine Growth Hormone to be labeled. In response to such an action, Monsanto sued in Federal Court. The corporation won on the note that dairy corporations have the first amendment right to hide rBGH injection even though the synthetic hormone, nowbanned in 27 countries, has been shown to increase risks for both breast and gastrointestinal cancer in peer-reviewed research(while also causing severe health damage in cows). Monsanto has also been using their scare tactics intimidation and tactical lawsuits on small farmers in order to force their genetically modified seeds and growth hormones onto these individuals. In fact, between 1997 and 2010, Monsanto actually filed 144 lawsuits against American family farmers. In addition, another 700 were settled out of court for unknown amounts. Monsanto wants more than anything to take out American family farms and dominate the agricultural industry with their own mutant seeds. This is the same kind of practice that Monsanto operates outside of the United States as well, driving thousands of poor farmers to suicideby ruining their family farming practices. Monsantos actions have even helped to lead to a farmer suicide occurring every 30 minutes. So will Monsantos bullying actions put a stop to Vermonts Right to Know Bill? Tens of thousands of people want nothing more than for the bill to pass, but time will tell.

3	Public School Abuse: Drop Your Pants So We Can Check for PoopHeather Callaghan Apparently, if its a sanctioned sexual violation of children by an adult stranger in a government institution no biggie! These would be the same people sanctioned to teach sex ed, with some of the topics being protection from just such an event. Thats what happened on Monday in Gustine, Texas. In an incident that would make B.F. Skinner giddy, two dozen elementary students from Gustine Independent School District were rounded up, separated into groups of boys and girls in separate rooms and ordered to pull down their pants to check them to see if they could find anything. The teachers claimed they had been finding fecal matter on the gym floor. Such a disregard for dignity and privacy did not go unnoticed One mom, Maria Medina, said: I was furious I mean, I was furious. If you cant do your job or you dont know what youre doing, you need to be fired. You shouldnt be here.Wrong is Wrong. She didnt think feces on the floor justified a partial strip search. Her daughter Eliza tried to protest but was told she had to, because all the kids had to. At least one was age 11 11! Like Eliza who said, I felt uncomfortable, and I didnt want to do it. I felt like they violated my privacy, she said with a maturity and vocal ability that doesnt implicate dropping dookies on the floor. The Superintendent gives the obligatory thats not appropriate and we dont condone that and says So you would take disciplinary action. No, you would. Then, just like that, he minimizes by saying his understanding is that they were told to lower their pants just a little. To check their underwear! Eliza, who has a functioning intellect, knows what happened to her and clarified the situation. How far did they have to pull their pants down. Liketo where your butt is, she said. Her mom doesnt believe the school and finds it all unacceptable. Part of me wonders if schools are pushing the envelope, with the media glorifying it to get people used to the idea. I mean, what made it sound like an appealing idea to the teachers involved? Now its a national conversation to see if maybe we can find a much better way to solve this, as the Superintendent said. While an internal investigation is ongoing, parents are attending the school board meeting Thursday night to demand accountability. What I really want to point out with this story is the insanity of abuse and blame toward students to aggressively deflect from what is actually not WWIII. Not many common sense people would think of this route first. And what would happen if they discovered poopy underwear in front of everyone? What were they going to do the culprit? Rub his nose in it? BLAME will solve it. Why is it ever acceptable for school systems to treat children with such degradation that is not acceptable anywhere else? But thats actually what they did to irrationally pretend to solve a problem. On a twisted power trip, they senselessly shamed them all, violated them and did not solve the problem. Schools that allow this madness are further proving that kids in public school are objects of the state, to be treated poorly. Some damage isnt easily undone. How can they wonder at growing homeschooling rates if parents never know what their child might be subjected to next? I once wrote about a school pressured to stop making children kneel before their principal. It turns out, it was happening elsewhere, but was under the radar until parents discovered the practice and spoke up. Daisy Luther wrote about her own daughters experience with this practice and said, When children are exposed to this type of ritual at an early age, it programs them to find subservience acceptable. It shuts off that little mechanism in their developing awareness that says, This makes me feel bad. It teaches them that this is normal and appropriate.

2	BREAKING: New Scandal Engulfs Joel Osteen Joel Osteen, leader of the largest Protestant church in the United States, is facing controversy after he misquoted the Bible. In a Facebook post at the beginning of the week, Osteen wrote: God said in Numbers 11:23, Moses, is there any limit to My power? He was saying , Moses, you saw Me part the Red Sea, stop the sun for Joshua, Keep three Hebrew teenagers safe in a fiery furnace, dont you realize that I can bring water without rain? Theres no limit to Gods power. Although the post has received over 320,000 likes and more than 50,000 shares, theres one major flaw in Osteens message: Moses was already dead before Joshua asked God to stop the setting of the sun, and he was also out of the picture by the time the three Hebrew teenagers arrived. They were also never burned. This is not the first time Osteens faith has been questioned, and many wonder whether his motivations lie less in faith and more in the $40 million fortune hes been able to rake in. What do you think? Is this a simple mistake or does it reveal more about Osteens motives? 
2	School Said No To Prayer In The Classroom, What These Kids Did Brings Glory To His Name The classroom is a place for kids to explore their interests and to learn everything in the world that they possibly can. Praying helps kids do both of these things. It helps them explore their love for Christ and while praying it clears their head of any troubles. This then allows kids to feel more fulfilled and confident in whom they are and what they want to do. So when schools say praying is not allowed in the classroom people need to take a knee and begin to pray. America is a place full of Christians who are not afraid to display their faith and to show others the way. They are amazing people for standing up for what they believe in. Prayer should be allowed in every aspect of someones life. There should be no restrictions on where and when a person can pray. They are not interfering with anyones life or causing any harm to anything. They are speaking with god and should not be told that they cant. These kids at a Houston school were told that praying was not allowed within the classroom. So what did the kids do? They went outside and circled around the flagpole. The kids all grabbed hands and bowed their heads. They began to pray in silence and it was beautiful. They stood up for what they believed in and prayed on behalf of all Christians everywhere. They say yes to God and prayer. Do you think they did well? 
3	USA FREEDOM Act: Just Another Word for Lost LibertyBy Ron Paul While few would argue that bringing someone like Headley to justice is not a good thing, Headleys case in no way justifies mass surveillance. For one thing, there is no terrorist exception in the Fourth Amendment. Saying a good end (capturing terrorists) justifies a bad means (mass surveillance) gives the government a blank check to violate our liberties. Even if the Headley case somehow justified overturning the Fourth Amendment, it still would not justify mass surveillance and bulk data collection. This is because, according to an investigation by ProPublica, NSA surveillance played an insignificant role in catching Headley. One former counter-terrorism official said when he heard that NSA surveillance was responsible for Headleys capture he was trying to figure out how NSA played a role. The Headley case is not the only evidence that the PATRIOT Act and other post-9/11 sacrifices of our liberty have not increased our security. For example, the NSAs claim that its surveillance programs thwarted 54 terrorist attacks has been widely discredited. Even the presidents Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies found that mass surveillance and bulk data collection was not essential to preventing attacks. According to the congressional Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Activities before and after the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001 and the 9/11 Commission, the powers granted the NSA by the PATRIOT Act would not have prevented the 9/11 attacks. Many intelligence experts have pointed out that, by increasing the size of the haystack government agencies must look through, mass surveillance makes it harder to find the needle of legitimate threats. Even though mass surveillance threatens our liberty, violates the Constitution, and does nothing to protect us from terrorism, many in Congress still cling to the fiction that the only way to ensure security is to give the government virtually unlimited spying powers. These supporters of the surveillance state are desperate to extend the provisions of the PATRIOT Act that are set to expire at the end of the month. They are particularly eager to preserve Section 215, which authorizes many of the most egregious violations of our liberties, including the NSAs metadata program. However, Edward Snowdens revelations have galvanized opposition to the NSAs ongoing violations of our liberties. This is why Congress will soon vote on the USA FREEDOM Act. This bill extends the expiring surveillance laws. It also contains some reforms that supposedly address all the legitimate concerns regarding mass surveillance. However, a look at the USA FREEDOM Acts details, as opposed to the press releases of its supporters, shows that the act leaves the governments mass surveillance powers virtually untouched. The USA FREEDOM Act has about as much to do with freedom as the PATRIOT Act had to do with patriotism. If Congress truly wanted to protect our liberties it would pass the Surveillance State Repeal Act, which repeals the PATRIOT Act. Congress should also reverse the interventionist foreign policy that increases the risk of terrorism by fostering resentment and hatred of Americans. Fourteen years after the PATRIOT Act was rushed into law, it is clear that sacrificing liberty does little or nothing to preserve security. Instead of trying to fool the American people with phony reforms, Congress should repeal all laws that violate the Fourth Amendment, starting with the PATRIOT Act.

2	NAACP Is Furious After Navy Names Ship After THIS President The Navy decided to name their newest ship after our nations 7th president, Andrew Jackson. Andrew Jackson, like many of our early presidents, was a slave owner. The NAACP is freaking out over the fact that he is being celebrated. This is totally appalling, Connecticut NAACP President Scot X. Esdaile told CNN, who described Jackson as a big-time slavemaster, pro slavery, the whole nine yards. Amazing how we have an African-American president and the U.S. Navy slipped this thing through. I think it should be reconsidered. The NAACP seems to get offended by absolutely nothing these days. Do they really think there was racist intent in this honor? Do you think the NAACP is overreacting? 
3	Obamacare Forces Companies to Drop Workers from Private InsuranceBy Eric Blair Because the cost of living in America is significantly higher than we are used to, particularly the cost of healthcare, my wife renewed her nursing license in order to make extra income and provide our health insurance. In other countries we simply paid for health services as we needed them. It was remarkably affordable. We even had our third child abroad at a nice private hospital, C-section for $3500. Unfortunately, using this la carte approach to healthcare is against the law in the US and results in a fine. Although my wife takes pride in being a great nurse, she hates to leave her family to go to work. Thats why she chose a 3-day-a-week schedule, working 12 hours a day, for a total of 36 hours a week. Despite working full time, her barely adequateemployer-provided health insurance still costs us about $5200/year which is deducted from her pay. Today we got a letter in the mail announcing that those benefits are being terminated. Apparently its against the law (Obamacare) for employers to provide insurance to workers who average less than 30 hours per week over a 12-month period. We assumed Obamacare was awful, but we were still surprised toget this letter. It may be true that my wife averaged less than 30 hours a week when measured over twelve months. Earlier this year we moved from Hawaii to Washington state, and my wife took a month off to handle logistics. She also takes the occasional unpaid vacation because we like to enjoy life. We are now reevaluating our options. We will NOTbe going to the Exchange Marketplace at Healthcare.gov. We may look into health share options. Andwe are strongly considering leaving the US again.

So you let your children dictate your life, then when that doesnt work out, you make your next move based on health insurance? Not being mean or anything, but theres a lesson in there for you. We already knew ObamaCare is a mess. You make a great point, OS, seems like we have to ground ourselves however we can, and given were awake we have a pretty good idea whats around the next corner. The writing is on the wall, the banksters are gearing up for serious inflation (debasement). China is preparing to relocate 100 million farmers to the empty ghost cities (Agenda 21 / 30); govt engineered resurgences of cult-like adoration of Mao and Stalin in China and Russia, respectively, timed with brutal crackdowns on mild peaceful dissent and hundreds to thousands of Hong Kong pro-democracy supporters disappeared to the mainland for indefinite detention.

Glad you can still laugh. All is not lost. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e5f86c4aa9d710c71a697cca152612747e03bee7a401f9edae3c8eea278701c5.jpg Youre a riot OS! We have to laugh or well go nuts. Im literally laughing throughout the day when I check serious news feeds. Oh gawd, I know. Its gone beyond farcical into total meltdown stupid. Im not voting, as you probably know, but my husband voted on one local issue regarding banning animal traps on public lands because dogs get caught in them. Hes a good doobie for that. He also wrote my name in for president. Do you think theyll give me a some of those stud Secret Service dudes and my own plane? No wait Huma Abedin for President! Hahaha laugh till it hurts. You got it! And you have my vote too, in spirit, as Im not voting either. You are both idiots with so much at stake! Id be ashamed instead of boasting in your ineptitudes. Losers both! Charitable and empathic? Not. Rude? Yes! Time for more Kool-Aid dear. Exactly right cabo and it seems you have more below you. Not voting is just adding to the destruction of this ONCE great nation. Most of us that are awake no longer fall for this left vs right paradigm. You cant reject what doesnt exist: the US has no effective left and the Republicans have moved to far right while Democrat have moved to center-right. The awakening is to the constriction of our choices thru lack of a an effective left (as most other nations have) and a narrow spectrum of center right to far right: that is the false choice. Only when the left rebuilds (vote Stein) will there be alternatives and new choices. Most Americans support progressive 67%, progressive programs (single payer, ubc, raising minimum wages, legalization of pot and immigrants) and all polls showed mild leftist (center-left) Sanders beating Trump and Clinton badly. But, the people have no power because there is no effective Left, which historically is the voice of the common man, the workers, the exploited. The oligarchy (and dont pretend born rich Trump is not an oligarch, a man who outsources jobs to slave labor countries and pays no taxes) is based on a duopoly which pretends be different, but far right and center right is a lack of a voice for ordinary people. The people want progressives but the people dont count. The solution is real democracy, a transformation from corporate fascism to government of, for, and by the people. You cannot reject what does not exist, but we can create a strong left and meet the wishes of the people for a progressive America, with equal rights for all and a shared prosperity. The US Congress of 500 has exactly one socialist whose socialism is the mildest variety which seeks to restrain the worst crimes of capitalism. The Right actually has control of Congress, and a center -right President, once thought slightly left, is the furthest edge. We need a left to give voice to labor and work for ordinary people; we need a political system which represents the people. That will not come without building the Left. Not voting will end election fraud and rigging.not sure how. ????? Never said not to vote. Troll alert: insult wagon spills venom. But of course youre a winner because youre going to vote for one of the losers running to rule you. Id be ashamed to be so drearily gullible. I have a Wiki Gift for you, blue. The castle has been taken! Hahaha this is so freaking rich! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/504d453764687b1da55a790757ae20435c6a1be5759914b20e7cc7e44af9775c.jpg Thank you, OS, youre such sweetheart, you know how to make me smile and laugh at the insanity of it all. As you can probably, guess, my hunch would be this is a planted email to be leaked for more fire stoking of the polarization, to fuel street brawls and rioting between Trump-bots and Soros useful Marxist idiots. There are plenty of quislings and cutouts too, what a wild circus show! I know. Are you ready for my latest theory? The government has become one giant casino, right? The globalists have selected a billionaire casino owner named Trump to finish it off for good. Its their little inside joke, Get it? They planned this thing out like a duplicate bridge hand, down to Assange blowing holes in Hillary right before the election, and then they toss in their Trump Card. Its a freaking Bollywood script, and a pi$$ poor one at that. Def: Trump Card- a valuable resource that may be used, especially as a surprise, in order to gain an advantage. Ive always thought this about Trump, I just wasnt sure how it would all play out in the end. Too bad we cant hang the little Huma witch. The male jihadi martyrs get 70 virgins or something. The females get Wieners. Its a freaking circus! Global casinoTrump cardBollywood script = youre brilliant , luv it!! LOL I was really on the fence about Julian until you noted his refusal to address 9/11. That and the fact Trump bowed before AIPAC while they put the crown on his pompadour, proves who is behind it all, as if we didnt know already. Score one for the truth team, yo. Its incredibly frustrating Assange isnt known as an intel entity to the majority of the alt media media readers given when he first emerged there was plenty of damning info, solid evidence dug up by Lila Rajiva (journalist and Libertarian author), backed up by analyses from left-wing academics Drs Michel Chussodovsky (Global Research) and Webster Tarpley. A wide platter served up and unmistakable red flags (Assange had a Rothschild lawyer), already the 9/11 stance, pro-tyranny/statism statements in his past, and a lot more. I went out of my way to share the details, mainly on infowars being the biggest alt site and before Disqus, thus fewer comments. The Assange ship finally went down on that site after relentless infowarring there and sites like A. Post. Then the Snowjob, doing a much better job covering tracks while slowly Wikileaks is resurrected again. It was floated on this website and beaten back, then an avalanche. Speaks to the distractions, overload of info, and generations of dumbing down. Round round we go. Thanks for letting me vent, Wise Olde Soul. Hey, yesterday there was some uncanny synchronicity involving your reply to me and near simultaneous emails / calls from two very awake close friends along with a big 5D Shazam(!). Wow!! Keep up the awesome Shaman magic, Im seeing it! Woo hoo! Thanks for that handy summary, blue. All your hard work is paying off in the ethos. The globalists ships are falling out of the sky. Raven is a very magical being, as Im sure youre aware. It flies high and calls out whenever it spots a carcass somewhere, alerting magpies and eagles to come and feast. The carcasses need to be spotted and cleaned up, the magpies and eagles stay fed. The magic swirls, 5D materializes around us. Im glad youre seeing it, it helps keep us on track. Caw! Luv ya, sister! When do I start? Someone shared this piece o work, a reminder why we need to get our magic wands fully charged and set on vaporize. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDJ5SjQGL6E Thanks! Looks like RV agrees with us. Ive never seen him before. Is this one of your normal sources? The thing holding the goat head is definitely a hybrid. The sicker they can make themselves look, the less people will believe what theyre doing is real. Regardless, theyre gross and I hope they all enjoy wallowing in their own juices. hahahahahahaha! What do you expect of a right wing plan, pro-corporate, pro profit, intended to transfer public funds to the insurers, which Heritage designed in 89 and Republicans promoted as alternative to Hillarycare. The reason the Republicans have no plan is that the Democrats stole theres, and at that point they unanimously abandoned their own child. The orignal Koch funded Heritage plan, as well as the Gingrich version, and Obamacare all are the same: mandatory insurance with government subsidies. This transfers public money into private pockets, as the private insurers take out 90% more for overhead to pay salaries up to 106 miillion (United CEO/2009). tThis is hundreds of billions that are NOT going for healthcare but for private jets and corporate art collections and salaries of CEOs 98% higher than top government officials, who actually have more people under their management. TRump has come out for the same basic concept: insurance for all (ie as a right) with government subsidies for those who cannot afford the obscenely high prices the parasitic private insurers charge through monopoly pricing (turf is parceled out Mafia style). So only Clinton (and the hapless What is a Lepo? Johnson are opposed to a Medicare for all, with government subsidies going to private medicine. Can we trust a pathological liar? Theyre all pathological liars, dear one. You are referring to all demoSCUM ??????? We havent heard a whisper of truth from this administration in 8 years and you want to blame the repubs. What dont you understand about the word ALL? The whole rotten DC pig sty is pathological, party affiliation is a complex hoax, an illusion. They only want us to think there are Dems and Reps so we take sides and fight each other. WTFU and stop writing demoSCUM like this has real meaning whatsoever. If you can leave its more likely the best thing I can think to do, America has become a crap hole on ALL levels. I retired and moved to Mexico with about 1 million other Americans. We can enroll in Seguro Popular a free medical program. Its amazing that poor Mexico can provide free medical coverage for ALL LEGAL RESIDENTS including foreigners and the U.S. cant, making it the only 1st World Country that doesnt. If Mexico is so great, why are they breaking into our country to have their babies? They come for jobs, to feed their families. Once they get here, they find they have no healthcare. They come not to have babies but to make money, and once they settle in, like everyone else, they raise a family. Mexico has a good healthcare system but a lousy economy (except for the rich) for which the US bears much responsibility as well as the oligarchy that rules. Worker immigrants are younger and healthy, with little medical needs, so the Mexican superior system is rarely needed. In the US, they can only pay out of pocket or go to ER in an emergency. But if you are young and healthy, you can get by without. No undocumented immigrants can get govt subsidized healthcare or foodstamps or anything else, tho their children, if US citizens, can. You clearly position yourself as part of the fascist right which scapegoats immigrants, who have a 50% lower incarceration/crime rate than US citizens (They are% rapistsand criminals! with most of the crimes being non violent, 65% related to lack of documentation and perhaps 20% related to drug possession or sales). They are the least criminal part of our population, except for Asians with PH.ds. Border cities, which Trump called very dangerous and said he was very brave to even visit one, are the safest cities. Our largest border city, San Diego, is the safest large city in the nation, with a violent crime rate about 30% lower than the national average. Border cities, populated mostly by Mexicans, have much lower crime rates than inland cities. BS, they come here illegally to have their babies, and they know how to work the system. I worked in the medical profession. The children of illegals get free dental, medical, and they can go to the WIC office and get free milk, cheese, bread, cereal, and other stuff. All at the expense of the American taxpayer. Meanwhile, middle class Americans are struggling to get by to pay for their dental and medical needs. I see you are not int facts, but here one: all high income nations have below replacement birth rates, which means without immigrant, who are on average younger and have higher birth rates, our population (as well as that of the European nations, Canada, Australia, etc) would decline. That is all documented fact: Here is an economic fact: when populations decline, consumption decreases, leading to less economic activity and loss of jobs. This leads to recession or depression. Here is another: younger healthier undocumented workers pay payroll taxes to subsidize our Medicare and Medicaid programs, on which their children, if the family is poor enough, may qualify for but not the workers themselves. Here is another fact: the ration of workers to retirees would lead to insolvency without immigrant labor increasing the ratio to provide more funding for the growing retired population. This is a result of the fact that immigrants tend to be young and healthy. US citizens, regardless of their parents status or ethnicity, qualify for government aid if they qualify. The very medical costs you say the middle class cannot afford is being subsidized the the immigrants. If they left, both Social Security and Medicare would be underfunded, leading to higher taxes or lower benefits. The free food: program was a project of Big Ag to transfer public funds to private corporations. Big Ag is the major supporter of SNAP, whichare you getting the picture?.transfers public funds to private corporations. Blaming our most hard working and vulnerable and unprotected population for declining middle class wages (which began in 1989 as a result of Reagans crushing he private union movement) is scapegoating people the victims to mask the real criminals who undermined the voice of labor, which for 35 years after WWII, with growing union growth, of shared prosperity wiht all classes gaining. Since 1989, the income of the top 1% has nearly tripled while the median wage has declined by nearly 40%. This started when the undocumented population was not 4%, as today, but less than 1%. When Reagan left, there were 2 million. By 2000, there were 5 million; it peaked under Bush at over 12 million and has declined to about 11 million today. The loss in wages started when the undoc pop was very small and grew as workers lost power to leverage the increasing productivity and profits into wage gains, as they had from 1950 to the 7Os. The loss was not due to a million Mexican labors but the lack of collective bargaiinng power. Immigrants are used a scapegoat to mask the real destruction of the middle class by the rule of oligarchy, seeking to shift blame to the one group that could not fight back. This is called kicking a man to the gutter and then blaming him for being in your way and arresting him. Our economy (ie the economy of ordinary people) has not been destroyed by the poorest among us but by those who have blamed the poorest as they pick our pockets..and you have fallen for it. Wake up. Look at a chart of rising wages and union growth,,and then the reverse at How come Mexicans know how to the work the system but Americans cant seem to figure it out? dale ruff- you have no clue about what you are talking about, especially in California, where, not only do they get all the things Squatch said they get, they have also learned how to take the drivers license that they can get in Cali(what a wonderful state) to register to vote. Sir, how wrong you are. I have a world class education in political science and have lived in California for over 70 years. Undocumented workers may get driverss liscences but by Federal law, they are banned from Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, or TANF. Look it up. Nor can they nor do they vote, since it is illegal and the punishment is 10 years in prison. I have studied immigration for many years and interviewed dozens of immigrants: they come for jobs, they stay to raise their families and renew the American Dream. There are part of why California is the most prosperous and tolerant state. They are part of our community, pushing us all up from the bottom, just as our ancestors once did not too long ago. Sir, you have no clueand I challenge you to fact check my claims. We have many serious problems from poverty to drought. But we are the most creative state (hosting both the film industry and the high tech innovation center of the world) so we are able to solve our problems. Right now, the biggest problem is how to spend the huge surplus..education , healthcare, infrastructure? politicususa headlines: I blame the illegal aliens for this crisis! California is a wonderful state, beautiful, diverse, and rich. If you travel abroad and people ask where you are from, if you say California, they will smile and tell yout about their counsin who moved there and lives in San Jose. California world wide is recognize as one of the most successful states in the world. And guess what? Their medical care is paid for with American tax dollars! Mexican healthcare is not paid with U.S. dollars. Since this site deletes posts with links, look up how many billions illegals pay in U.S. taxes. If I see a private doctor it could cost me from $3 USD to $35 USD. I buy my medications for a fraction of what is charged in the U.S. and I buy them from retail pharmacies. In comparison of surgeries, at a very fancy Guadalajara hospital with a private room, excellent food, room service with the servers wearing tuxedos, a gallbladder removal costs about $2400 USD. The same surgery at a cheap U.S. hospital and not staying overnight is about $30,000 USD. See the difference? The medical people here are not gouging the patients and trying to get rich. Doctors will spend an hour or more talking to a patient and will make house calls. Good for you, what do you want? A cookie? FYI, myself anyone here in USA can see a doctor for $40 flat fee, prescriptions as low as $3 WITHOUT obamaCrap! If USA did away with all health insurance, costs would plummet, leaving insurance for large emergencis only, like it was when it began, until the system figured it could price gouge. No doubt our current system is effD up, but O-Crap NOT the answer NOR govt healthcare, as proven by VA Medicare! Something dramatic must be done, start with that big effN WALL! My Medicare part B was over $100 a month so estimate $1200 a year. Then I needed a supplemental insurance to cover the 20 percent Part A and B didnt cover so figure another $1000 or more a year. Then I still paid some out of pocket. How do you think the wall will be built? Do you think the landowners will sell their property to the U.S. without a fight? The Rio Grande moves its location, so sometimes a persons property will be on the South side of the fence. The U.S. will need roads to build the fence and will need permission to cross private property. That will be decades of legal fights. The next Mexican billionaire will be selling ladders or tickets to the tunnels under the fence. Your redneck wingers are so gullible. USAToday: At the state and local level alone, undocumented immigrants nationwide collectively pay an estimated $11.64 billion each year in taxes, according to a recent report by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. Our calculations, based on academic, congressional, and think-tank research, show that total includes more than $6.9 billion in sales and excise taxes, $3.6 billion in property taxes, and over $1 billion in personal income taxes. PEW Research: More Mexican immigrants have returned to Mexico from the U.S. than have migrated here since the end of the Great Recession, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of newly available government data from both countries. The same data sources also show the overall flow of Mexican immigrants between the two countries is at its smallest since the 1990s, mostly due to a drop in the number of Mexican immigrants coming to the U.S. You are correct about the costs of medicare. I pay about $115/mo for part B and about $19/mo for plan D (medications) and about $170/mo for plan F supplemental. That is why so many retirees are moving to Mexico. Mexico did change its immigration requirements and many foreigners cannot financially pass the test now. You can check with nearest MX consulate and they can bend the rules. You will not meet a foreign retiree who is not happy with the medical care here and many self insure. If they save the $1300 a year in Part B payments, in a couple of years that will pay for the best private hospital care and almost any surgery. For less, they can join IMSS for $300 a year IMSS pays for 100% of all medical including hospitalizations, tests, doctors and medicines. Most of us are changing to Seguro Popular which is free for retirees. It also covers 100% of everything. Google assisted living centers at Lake Chapala. They are nothing like up North. Beautiful homes with 24/7 care. You cannot afford a full time nursing home or assisted living up there like the beautiful, well furnished, gorgeous gardens like down here. Mexicans are often hired for hard work like digging because they are both motivated and physically strong and healthy. How hard then to dig under a fence? Its just a way to get suckers like you to vote for Trump; its his form of snake oil. He says he will have the Mexicans pay, but any Mexican President who agreed would be impeached as a traitor. He says he will threaten them with tariffs to make them do it (The Art of the Steal), but that would set off a trade war which would bankrupt American corporations (and lose the jobs) , which sell over 200 billion a year to Mexico. That would likely cause a recession, lower govt revenue and higher overhead for welfare for the newly unemployed. In economics, itss call a vicious cycle. Either Trump is too stupid to know this, or he is just using it to fool you. I suggest he is using you by appealing to bigotry and knows that such a wall would be useless. Here is my plan to reduce the motive for immigrants, who come to make money to feed their families: raise the minimum wage to a level that US workers will take it. Then let the chips fall where they may. Apologies to the ADD types.I just cant express myself in wisecracks and tweets. suckers like you to vote for Trump; Where did you get that? I wouldnt vote for that child rapist for anything. I think it is funny that the far right who claim Hillary lies, are for Trump, a man who rapes children, ran around with mafiosa, his closest advisors are the filthiest men on Earth and on top of that, Trump is an idiot. You want to see the funniest clip of Trumps wall? It is a commercial made by an Australian company and no network in the U.S. would run it. I cant post a link because this site deletes links so go to Youtube, Australian Trumps Wall Ad Banned In America I love the Churros wagon and the gardener flying over the wall with leaf blowers. I aplogizze for misreading you. You are very decent about y bad judgement. The truth is, I was intending this for Rick. It turns out we are on the same page, tho I voted for Stein. Did you? Hillary has too much blood on her hands and has been promoting war with Russia. Sorry! Your sarcasm is sad: obviously what all Americans want is good healthcare at an affordable price, something that every other of the 34 developed nations have (at half the cost) and which many poor nations like Mexico, Cuba, and Costa Rica do have. We want our right to healthcare, which is not a cookie (free stuff?) but a human right. We want quality healthcare we can afford for our children. VA and Medicare are opposites: VA is socialized medicine, adopted in its earliest form by our Founding Fathers in Congress without one dissenting vote, setting up a government run system for those in the critical maritime trades, which they had to pay for out of their wages, and with government employed doctors and hospitals. This was expanded and expanded as the need for a healthy workforce became evident led to the VA being similarly a socialize medicine plan (PS, despite being underfunded by Republicans vote against hikes (We cant afford them), VA quality is top rated, higher than private. What is needed is more doctors to treat the great escalation of wounded vets from our recent criminal wars. In the UK, you walk in the door and show your card. Its that simple and efficient and Brits live longer and pay half as much. Medicare and Medicaid are very different, as both use exclusively private doctors and hospitals and for every dollar that goes in, 98cents goes to the private medicine sector. With private insurance, 85-90 cents goes to private medicine, a wasted overhead of 150 billion which does not improve our medical research, healthcare or care. Medicare for all is not socialized, as the government adminsters payment to private doctors at less than 2% overhead, giving 90% more to private medicine than the parasitic private insurers, whose CEOs in the depths of recession taken home, after taxes, up to 85 billion (United/2009) and have corporate art collections, private jets, etc. Medicare, with less than 2% overhead, pays its top managers $150-200,000, or less than 2% of the average CEO of one of the major insurers. Fiscal conservatives: this is your issue! Do you want the worst care in the advanced world (and worse than many very poor nations) for twice the cost.or would you like a system that serves everyone and saves money? Do you want Medicare returning 98 cents of every dollar of payroll taxes for private medical treatment or 85-90 cents returned by monopolistic corporations (this next year, over 20% of regions will have only one provider (ie monopoly pricing control) as the big boys parcel out territory Mafia style so insurers can fix prices with no competition? I challenge anyone to refute with evidence any of these claims which are based on years of study and several published articles. Brainwashed yahoos can go back to eating their candy and leave me in peace: what I am proposing would save you money, but you are too stupid (as Trump said in Iowa) to reject schemes which pick your pocket, so you end up supporting the very system which is depriving you of affordable healthcare. The ACA is the old Heritage (koch funded) design that Republicans pushed as the alternative to Hillarycare, based on the twin pillar a mandate to purchase private insurance and govt subsidies for those who cant afford the jacked up prices, which is the right wing plan to transfer public wealth into private pockets. Private insurers are reaping record profits while lying to us that they are leaving exchanges in some states because they are losing money, while the truth is, they are richer than ever with 12 million new captive,subsidized customers, and the purpose of the lie is to give a pretext for Mafi-style parcelling out turn for monopoly control. which will grow from 2% last year to over 20% this year. Its a terrible system, the worst in the world and and the most expensive by far. Americans rank at the bottom for health and longevity of all developed and many poor nations. We have been ripped for trillions, and 30 million have no coverage at all, mostly due to Republican states refusing the hundreds of billion that would come into the states with Medicare expansion. I call this treason, as the purpose is to destroy the ACA and discredit Obama who has 20% more approval now than disapproval) at the expense of the health of its most vulnerable citizens, some of who will die for lack of healthcare coverage. To put a partisan political goal to deny the President success (even if that is success is providing medical treatment) above the Constitutional mandate to promoteand provide for the general welfare (the reason given in 1798 with the Maritime Seamans Act of socialized medicine for national security, to have a healthy maritime industry). This is a betrayal of the Constitution, harming not only those without coverage but everyone by refusing hundreds of billions from the Feds. Its treason. The downside is that doctors do not become millionaires. Undocumented workers pay payroll taxes they can never collect, so they are keeping SS and Medicare from collapsing by adding tens of billions a year. They create value and wealth for their employers and they subsidize our social programs. The only medical care at public expense is ER, which is for emergencies. The cost is much less than what undoc workers pay into SS and Medicare. An unauthorized immigrant can go to a regular doctor if he pays for it himself.so you are right: he is paying for his medical care with US dollars he earned working at our most dangerous jobs. Meanwhile the tens of billions paid into SS and Medicare each year go to our accounts, so they are also using US Dollars they earned to fund OUR healthcare and pensions. The US cant afford it! We have to spend all our money on war. Costa Rica, with household income of $10, 000 universal healthcare and a top medical treatment program. I worked 40 years in the US for Medicare benefits, and now pay $120 a month for 80% coverage with no vision and dental. Supplemental in my area is over $200. And dental/vision insurance is about $100so after 40 years of payroll taxes, I pay $400 a month to be fully covered. As a legal resident in Costa Rica, I could join their national program for about $90 a month, and dental and vision costs 1/3 as in the US. I have paid nothing into the CR treasury. In Cuba, where the monthly wage is $20 (ie a buck a day) but education, healthcare and housing are basically free, everyone is covered at no cost. In Why pay for Part B? Are you flying back to the U.S. for medical care? I can drive back but I dont. I cancelled my Part B and gave myself a raise. We get better healthcare in these so called, poor countries. Axixic: You are right on; our government provides health care to some aliens FREE OF CHARGE. Free housing, free food, free transportation, everything for the select few, and Obama personally wants every American to pay the bill. Every American that is born in this country comes in owing many thousands of dollars the moment they take their very first breath. It is no wonder folks are leaving the sinking ship of America; Obama did a great job of finishing the ruination of the country after Kill/Bill Clinton left the office. Now these idiots want 4 more years of those skunks; how long before someone finally shows some brains??/ This nation is becoming a rat hole with a snake as their Poppa Daddy. Im wondering if we would ever get the smell of the Obama Gang out of the White House; they need to use lots of bleach to get that job done, so rotten, they must smell of it. Those aliens are Cubans, and they alone. But that was part of the deal to get them to come from Castros Cuba. Perhaps because Castro introduced free medical and dental care to help bring Cuba from being a 3rd world state to first world status. Cuba actually produces a surplus of Nurses and Doctors which are a great contribution to the Cuban myth especially in the non-western world. Cuba provides aid often in the form of medical personnel. All a Cuban has to do is to set a dry foot on American soil to win the lottery. Since Cuba has eases some restrictions, they now fly to Mexico, and walk across the US border. Between the Cuban-American community and the government help, they hardly are refugees or even immigrants. And excellent example of Republicans buying votes, although they are beginning to doubt especially Trump. Read the laws. Illegals cannot receive any benefits. Legal immigrants must wait 5 years to receive any benefits. USNEWS: Undocumented Immigrants Pay Billions in Taxes Immigrants illegally in the U.S. collectively contribute nearly $12 billion each year to state and local tax coffers, according to a new report that challenges recent election cycle rhetoric. The study from the Institute on Taxation Economic Policy found that immigrants in the U.S. without legal permission kick in their billions in the form of income, property, sales or excise taxes. There were roughly 11 million immigrants estimated to be in the U.S. illegally as of 2013, according to the report. And each and every state collects at least a few million dollars from tax payments made by such immigrants each year, ranging from Montanas $2.2 million to Californias $3.2 billion. You have listening to Trump, havent you? He does have one good idea tho: Donald Trump: I am going to take care of everybody. I dont care if it costs me votes or not. Everybodys going to be taken care of much better than theyre taken care of now. Scott Pelley: The uninsured person is going to be taken care of. How? How? Donald Trump: Theyre going to be taken care of. I would make a deal with existing hospitals to take care of people. And, you know what, if this is probably Scott Pelley: Make a deal? Who pays for it Trump says Obamacare (an odd name for a right wing plan) will be replaced by everyone having to have insurance and government subsidies. Wait, isnt that the foundation of the ACA? His one trick is a hoax: he says you will be able to buy health insurance sold in another state. Well, there is no law that prevents insurers to sell in all states, so its really not significant. He also says states will handle Medicaid, but of the 20 states that refused Medicaid expansion under the ACA (with Feds paying 90%), it appears they already handle it, and he will force theRm to accept it (how else cn everyone be covered.) Of 35 advanced nations, 34 have national programs, most single payer, a few socialized (ie medical is not private, as with Medicare: UK is socialized, as is the VA), which all have superior health outcomes and longer life expectancy than the US (which ranks below nations like Cuba and Costa Rica) at half the cost, due to eliminating the kinds of costs detailed above (all with sources of professional medical associations (see documentation at my article on Medicare for all at opednews.com. Canadians are now richer than Americans (on average) not only because they make more money (average household income: $76, 000 compared to $54,000 in US) but also because they spend only 60% as much on healthcare through their taxes as US citizens do. With the average percapita medical cost of over $9000 in the states (ie $36,000 for a family of 4) and Canadians paying about $5000, that leaves both the Treasury and the household stash with thousands more. Some nations, like Singapore and Japan, with universal healthcare, and the healthiest people, living well into their 80s, pay 1/3 as much as the US. So if Trump wins, I hope his support universal healthcare as a right is not just a hoax, and since he knows it pisses off the Republicans who hate their own plan once the Dems adopted it, he probably does. But given that he is a pathological liar, who knows? Those who leave should stay gone dont come back. Youd rather run away from your homeland (if you were born here) than try organize stop the government in any ways you can. Thats cowardice. Its true, many are that way, unfortunately. I wont run from this crap, this is my Home. If I must die one day engaged in combat against this tyrannical regime, so be it. At least there are those of us who would do something, instead of nothing. FREE of charge, PERFECT HEALTH = GO RAW VEGAN! Perfect, Gift Economy! Let food be thy medicine. if it tastes good, spit it out, chances are its not good for ya. The best diet studies in the world (Loma Linda Medical) show that vegetarians in the sample live 8 yrs longer than the average Californian but that vegans (and I have been one for 15 years, mostly raw) do not live as long. I have been on vegetarian cancer diet for 35 years, then vegan for the last 15. I got cancer ten years and ago, had surgery and was cancer free for 8 yrs, now it is low but coming back (PSA of .]6). I am on mostly raw diet with a dozen anti-cancer supplements. My 4 month Rick Simpson cannabis extract did not help. I am all natural, no prescriptions drugs, Vegans get all these diseases, including raw vegans. The evidence is that the healthiest diet is vegetarian. I am vegan for ethical and ecological reasons.and I continue to use and seek new natural stuff that will cure my recurring cancer. My cancer has not disappeared but reappeared, despite this delibeately anti-cancer vegan diet. I stayed with raw vegan guru Eric Rivkin at Jewel of the Sun in Costa Rica, and I learned a lot, but the fact is that vegan diet is NOT a guarantee against cancer or other diseases, many of which have a genetic factor as well as pollution. You are kind in your diet (I respect all who renounce violence) but dangerous in your claims. The evidence of the most peer-reviewed diet studies in history, with a perfect control group (7th day Adventists dont smoke or drink and have same lifestyles except some are on a meat-based diet, some vegetarian, a smaller group vegan. After 50 years of study with hundreds of thousands, the evidence is that vegetarians live the longest with the best health. Vegans die sooner. I dont like those facts, but facts are facts, and this is the best research in the world. My approach is to figure out what vegetarians get that vegans dont and it includes things like B-12. So I supplement, seeking to avoid the violence in dairy production. Im 75 with cancer but actively using natural remedies with immunotherapy as Plan B. I am in no pain and have not been sick (flue, colds, etc for 10 or 15 years. I credit my diet, but understand it did not prevent or cure my cancer.so I struggle on, more or less at peace (Ive had a long life full of great success and great failure with a wonderful set of kids) and if cancer doesnt take me, something else will. I have tried nearly every certain cure in the books and none has worked as promised. I party on, for each day must be tasted and tested deeply.it is not how many days you live but how well you live. I am going to introduce into my menu of supplements B-16 and mitoq with aspirin, as these have solid research behind them. If I run out of natural options, I will go for immunotherpy which uses the bodys own defense system to kill the cancer, with a little genetic modification of your own cells to target and destroy the cancer. I am pushing my vegan diet to more rawness as I go along, there is a learning curve. Right now, having been writing the last 7 hrs, I am starving. The cannabis treatment didnt kick my cancer but it left me so sedated I did not eat much and have lost 40 lbs, now at 170, my old athletic weight, and I am hoping getting rid of the fat and the stored toxins will also contribute to the battle. Ok off to New leaf for some.maybe curried tofu and broccoli,a treat for holding my weight under 175) with a vegge/friuit smoothie and nuts for desert. Tofu, which the Okinawan centenarians eat twice a day, is very antic cancer, tho guru Eric is convinced it causes cancer..but I listen to the evidence and have no gurus..just friends who have their own ideas. Good luck to you on your diet, but please dont make claims that will create false hope. If we cleave to the truth, there is no reason to exaggerate or hype. I wish you only the best and feel a special solidarity with you, as I do with all who renounce violence. selfnews Post? More like DipSHit Post. THis place is full of the dimmest people I have ever seen! Dipshit for exposing the fraud of Obamacare? Or do you have a specific grievance you can share?

Do yourself a favor and spend a few months on this website and at church, you will be amazed at the wisdom gained in such a short time. Every party has a pooper thats why we invited youparty pooper.or you invited your ad hominem self.luv the way you like to point your finger when ya got 3 more pointing backatcha.which shows hostility because you secretly have very low self esteem are very angry about your lot in life so you resort to lashing out at cyber ghosts out of internalized frustration.drinking poison thinking the other person will die.. is quite frankly. imbecillic. By now itsobvious to most above room temperature IQs the unaffordable uncaring act is a veiled tax, designed to put an end to all outside insurance companies. ANYONE who paid attention should have known exactly what was going to happen. It was meant to be a failure which is why the demoSCUM passed it in the middle of the night behind not only closed doors but locked doors. The plan for a long time(at least the last 3 presidents) has been to bring America down and the unaffordable care act was just one more designed fiasco to help accomplish that agenda. The ACA is the Republican plan from the 90s based on the twin pillars of mandated coverage and subsidies with private insurers. The Republicans offered it as the alternative to Hilllarycare. When the Dems adopted it, despairing of single payer (which the majority want), the Republicans denounced it. The reason the Republicans dont have a plan is that the Dems stole it. Now lets give the public what it wants: Medicare for all and huge savings by eliminating 700 billion in bloated private overhead, ER costs for the uninsured (average visit of $2000), and 300 billion in tax breaks for medical expenses: This is enough to insure everyone, including dental and vision. Such systems, in all other advanced nations with variations) produce better health and longer life at half the cost. It is fiscal suicide to get the worst results for twice the price, which is why most Americans (80% of Dems,60% of Independents) support a Medicare for All system, based on a working and very approved model with 50 years of success at an overhead 90% lower than private which spends 85-90 cents of every dollar on medical treatment compared to Medicare and Medicaid returning 98 cent to the private medical industry. Which is most important: huge profits for a handful of near monopolies with lavish lifestyles, or healthcare for our families based on need? And which system puts the most back into private healthcare? I describe; you decide. I am assuming that this plan would be for American citizens only NOT the 40 million illegals and the ever increasing radical muslims that obozo is bringing in and the witch wants to increase the number leeching off the tax payers. Little over blown numbers there. But why bother with facts, when there is a point to be made. But comb your hair right and they may not notice. So now its the scary radical muslims. It used to be the scary hippy radicals, and the scary militia radicals, and the scary black radicals, and the scary jihadi radicals, and the scary al Qaida radicals, and then Youre being played for a fool, tool. Obamacare needs to be repealed. Middle class Americans are getting screwed in order to support the subsidies and Medicaid for others, while not getting any benefit for themselves. Like Bill Clinton said crazy. I would even go along with Bernie Sanders plan to expand Medicare to replace the Obamacare subsidies and expansion of Medicaid. By having one public national plan and then the rest be private national plans, people will have a choice, and the plans could be used anywhere in the country instead of be restricted by states. Either way, Obamacare needs to go, and we need to take a look at some other options. Obamacare is all private insurance because the Republicans didnt want a government single payer which would be cheaper but cut out private companies. So they copied the Republican Romney plan. Not having direct government payer was the first thing given away to get Republicans on board their own plan but they never did. So how much did you spend on health related issues when out of the country? I spent a total of $10,000 on health related issues for my family from 1985 through 2006. That included the birth of my son, all his medical needs, including orthodontia, and all my and my wifes medical needs. That was out of pocket expense, I had no insurance, and still dont have insurance. I dont receive a tax return, because I dont allow excess withholding, and usually owe about $300 at the end of the year. We dont HAVE to have anything. This is not an enumerated power in the Constitution granted to the government. And we do have a remedy to fix this kind of mess (this isnt the only thing, this is just 1 of millions of tyrannies gone unpunished) when the government is against us isnt the limited, representative one were to have. Too many years have gone by, its past time to use our weapons organize all over to forcefully remove every cop, judge, politician all the way to the White House arrest them all go from there. We, those of us who believe in liberty rule of law anyway, reserve that right to use these remedies to remove a govt that is in constant violation of the rule of law, like ours has been since before we were born. hahahahahaha.luv yer macabre sense of humorcheers 
3	Get Ready For The Next Great Stock Market ExodusBrandon Smith Many of us pointed out that such a system, based on dubious debt instruments animated by the central banking voodoo of arbitrary fractional reserve lending and fiat cash creation, could not possibly survive for very long. A crash was coming, it was coming soon, and most of our society was either too stupid to recognize the problem or too frightened to accept the reality they knew was just over the horizon. Today, credit markets remain frozen. Lending is nowhere near the levels reached in 2006. The housing market is showing signs of life; but thats only because most home purchases are being made by banks, not regular people, for pennies on the dollar, as bankrupt properties are then reissued on the market for rent rather than for sale. If you are lucky, maybe one day youll get to borrow the keys to the house you used to own. And, millions of higher-paying full-time jobs have been lost and then replaced with lower-paying part-time-wage slavery positions. The image of American prosperity carries on, but it is nothing but a cruel farce; and anyone with any sense should question how long this false image can be given life before the truth dawns. Why did 2008 creep up on so many people? Werent there plenty of economists out there preaching to the choir at that time? Werent there plenty of signals? Werent there plenty of practical conclusions being made about the future? And yet, the world was left stunned. The truth is, human beings have a nasty habit of ignoring the cold hard facts of the present in the hopes of using apathy as a magical elixir for future prosperity. They want to believe that disaster is a mindset, that it is a bogeyman under their bed that can be defeated through blind optimism. They refuse to accept that disaster is a tangible inevitability of life that pays no heed to our nave, happy-go-lucky attitudes. The American people allowed themselves to be caught off guard in 2008, just as they are setting themselves up to be caught off guard again today. Again, the reality is clear; the Federal Reserve has propped up equities and bonds using money created out of thin air so much so that both markets have become totally reliant and disturbingly addicted to fiat injections. The distribution of this fiat threatens the continued dominance of the dollar as the world reserve currency and will invariably lead to currency collapse and hyperstagflation. This process is much more likely to climax in the near term given the accelerated rate of quantitiative easing within our system to date and the accelerated rate at which our primary lenders (namely China) are dumping the dollar in bilateral trade with each other. The endgame is obvious, but I still fear millions of people within this country and around the world will be shell-shocked once again by a renewed crash. The argument is always the same: Yeah, things might get dicey, but it wont be as bad as all the doom-mongers claim, and probably not for many years. Similar statements were made by naysayers before the Great Depression and before the 2008 crash. So why are the skeptics wrong again this time around? The Stimulus Fantasy Lets put this in the simplest terms possible: Stimulus is now the lifeblood of our economy. There is nothing else sustaining our nation. Period. Stimulus in the form of bailouts and QE are keeping the stock market and bonds afloat. This means that the continued existence of equities, and the continued existence of healthy treasuries, and thus the foundation of our currency, our general economy, and a functioning (or barely functioning) government, is completely dependent on the Fed continuing to print. In recent weeks, the Fed hinted at possible intentions reduce or remove stimulus measures, which would effectively shut down the life-support machine and let the patient drown in his own fluids. http://money.cnn.com/2013/06/19/news/economy/federal-reserve-stimulus/index.html http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/06/14/usa-imf-lagarde-idUSL2N0EQ0QI20130614?feedType=RSSfeedName=marketsNewsrpc=43 Day traders and common investors are not very bright, but they do understand well that no stimulus means no stock market and no bond market. In response, indexes have become erratic, shifting on the slightest rumor that the central bank might continue QE for a little longer. Pathetically, the Dow Jones now rallies upward whenever bad financial news hits the wire, as insane investment groups pour in money in the hopes that dismal economic developments might cause the Fed to extend the bailout bonanza. In our modern nightmare era of hyper-centralized economy, one word or rumor from Ben Bernanke now determines whether stocks dramatically rise or fall. This is NOT the behavior of a healthy and vibrant fiscal system. The anatomy of American finance and trade has been horribly mutilated; and clearly, such a monstrous creation cannot last. Stocks are supposed to perform based on the true profitability of individual businesses as well as the political and social health of the overall culture. The wild printing of paper money by private banking magnates is not a catalyst for a successful economy. Whether the Fed actually ends QE is ultimately irrelevant. No fiscal structure can survive when it abandons fundamentals for fantasy. Either QE continues, becoming less and less effective in staving off negative results in equities, inspiring a flight from the dollar leading to a crash, or QE ends, exposing the inevitability of negative results in equities, leading to a crash. If the Fed ends stimulus, the process of collapse will merely take place slightly faster than if stimulus remains. But every historic economic crisis has a defining moment, a moment in which the tide turned overwhelmingly sour for a majority of the public. The question now becomes what, exactly, will trigger the avalanche? Precious Metals Signal Secret Shift To Asia As I have discussed in numerous articles over the years, Chinas shift away from the U.S. consumer and the U.S. dollar is well under way. Over half of the worlds major economies now have bilateral trade agreements in place which remove the dollar as the world reserve currency in trade with China and the ASEAN economic bloc. China is issuing trillions in Yuan and Yuan-denominated bonds around the globe, setting the stage for a higher Yuan valuation and allowing Chinese consumer markets to replace American consumer markets as the number one driver of manufacturing in export countries. At the same time, China has increased its purchases of precious metals exponentially to the point that the nation is now set to become the largest holder of gold and silver in the world in the next two years. This is clearly in preparation for a currency crisis event. The buying spree in Asia seems to directly contradict the paper market value of metals in recent weeks. Demand for gold and silver has only increased throughout most of the world, even in light of Federal Reserve suggestions that QE might end. Manipulations within metals markets by the CME and JP Morgan explain half the story, but there may be another issue at work. It is very possible that the COMEX is now essentially broken, and that gold and silver ETFs (paper gold and silver) are decoupling from the street value of physical metals during the last gasp of a failing system. In the near term, I believe that premiums on physical coins and bars will skyrocket, even as the official market prices of those metals is held down. At the same time, China, Russia, and other countries heavily invested in gold may break from Western COMEX valuations completely using their own metals markets to establish their own prices. As the dollar loses its world reserve status, the countries holding the most physical gold in their coffers stand to weather the storm most effectively, and because U.S. gold stores have never been officially audited, we have no idea if America has any reserve whatsoever. Crushing Energy Prices Coming Soon? While China continues a careful strategy of decoupling from the dollar and the U.S. consumer through bilateral agreements and trading blocks, another issue is arising: the issue of energy. I would like to note that despite globally diminishing oil demand caused by the 2008 credit collapse, gas prices have experienced little to no deflation. I would also like to note that after the Federal Reserve hinted at shutting down QE, oil was one of the few commodities that continued to rise. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-01-18/u-s-oil-demand-falls-to-16-year-low-api-reports.html This has not been caused by a lack of supply, as many American-based companies ramp up production. (I am aware of all the arguments behind peak oil. As soon as a peak oil proponent can show me an example of oil demand not being met because of a legitimate lack of supply, then Ill be happy to consider that peak oil is the main cause of price increases.) http://www.bizjournals.com/sanantonio/blog/morning-edition/2013/06/us-oil-production-up-as-global.html The fact is that current regressive global demand and ample supply should have led to lower gas prices, not higher. If speculation was the cause, then price shifts within the oil market should have been far more volatile, with increases lasting weeks or perhaps months, but certainly not years. The only plausible explanation for this kind of commodity activity is a weakening of the currency it is directly tied to. The petrodollar is slowly but surely coming to an end. I believe the next market exodus may be triggered by the weakening effects of stimulus (or the removal of stimulus altogether) along with extreme energy prices cause by steady inflation and a global political crisis in the near future. China, being strangely and consistently prophetic when it comes to economic calamity, has recently established an astonishing oil trade deal with Russia, which plans to supply China with an alternative petroleum source for the next 25 years. (This news went almost completely unnoticed by the mainstream media.) http://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2013/06/22/russia-inks-big-china-oil-deal/?partner=yahootix Now, keep in mind that in 2010, China and Russia signed an agreement completely removing the U.S. dollar in bilateral trade. The dollar has been the world reserve and the only currency used to purchase petroleum for decades. The Russia/China oil deal changes everything. It sets a trend toward the removal of the petrodollar function of the Greenback which ultimately destroys any credibility the currency has left. This news flies in the face of dollar proponents who consistently claim that the dollars ties to oil make it invincible. Apparently, there are some weaknesses in the armor. Ongoing social unrest in Egypt has also made oil markets jumpy, being that the Suez Canal oversees the transfer of a significant portion of the worlds oil shipping. Clearly, there are two opposing factions within the country vying for power, and regardless of who is best suited to U.S. interests, the Egyptian people overall have no love for the West. There is a distinct chance of a shooting war, similar to Syria, in the coming months in Egypt. Meanwhile, the engineered conflict in Syria continues to go exactly as I predicted in my article The Terrible Future Of The Syrian War. Syria remains an explosive trigger point for regional war which will, in the end, draw in Iran and result in the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which annually handles the shipping of about 20 percent of the worlds oil. All trends point toward higher gas prices over the horizon, and the U.S. economy is barely able to survive on the cost of energy we have today. So Close They Cant See It Reduced stimulus combined with adversely high oils prices may very well be the tumbling boulders that bring down the mountain. We are close now. Beyond the undeniable economic factors, the very fabric of American government is crumbling. Corruption is openly rampant. Scandals are exposed daily. The establishment leadership is unapologetic and grows even more despotic with each truth that escapes into the open air. They are becoming MORE bold, not less bold, and those of us who seek transparency in all things, from politics, to economics, to surveillance, are being attacked as the source of the problem rather than the solution. Collapse, from a historical perspective, seems to occur when the searchlights of the individual mind are dimmest, when the threat is the greatest, and when we are most comfortable in our ignorance. In 2008, the U.S. public was mostly oblivious to the danger, and they were painfully stung. Today, I hope that the liberty movement, the alternative media, and alternative economic analysts have created a window of opportunity by which millions of people can this time see the writing on the wall and prepare accordingly. At this point, there is no question that Americans have been warned. Whether or not they pay heed, is out of our hands.

2	Obama Attacks Donald Trump After He Exposes THIS For All Of America To See According to recent reports, presidential candidate Donald Trump once again went after Obama at a rally in Keene, New Hampshire. Im putting the people on notice that are coming here from Syria, as part of this mass migration, that if I win, if I win, theyre going back, Trump said of the refugees that Obama has been shuffling into the country. They could be ISIS, he continued. This could be one of the great tactical ploys of all time. A 200,000-man army maybe, or if you said 50,000 or 80,000 or 100,000, we got problems and that could be possible. I dont know that it is, but it could be possible so theyre going back, theyre going back. Now, new reports have revealed that as many as 80 percent of the migrants are not even from Syria. What do you think? Do we need a leader like Trump in the White House? 
1	In an unprecedented move that has sent shockwaves through the magazine industry, Jane announced plans Monday to publish a special 'Sex Issue.' Jane Magazine Cover 'When the editorial staff got together to plan our next issue, somebody jokingly suggested devoting an entire issue to sexa 'sex issue,' if you will,' said Jane Pratt, editor-in-chief of Jane, a monthly magazine geared toward hip 18- to 32-year-old women. 'After the laughter died down, the room fell silent for almost a minute. It was clear we'd stumbled onto something.' Founded in 1997, Jane has featured articles about sex in previous issues. But never before has itor any other magazinepublished a single issue featuring so many articles on the subject that it could only be called 'The Sex Issue.' 'The issue will contain all sorts of articles about sex, written by women who've had sex, for women who've had sex,' Pratt said. 'No doubt, some people out there will think we've gone too far, but we here at Jane have never been afraid to be provocative and really shake things up.' 'This is real,' Pratt continued. 'This is what happens between the sheets. Everyone talks about sex behind closed doors. We thought it was time to break down those doors and bring it out into the open.' While the full content of the issue has not been revealed, Pratt mentioned several of the articles that made the final cut. Among them are 'What He's Really Thinking About Your Body,' 'Seven Ways To Make Him Scream,' and 'The 'Big O': A How-To Guide.' The September issue of <i>Model Railroader.</i> 'I promise you this is going to be a wild ride,' Pratt said. 'One of our reporters is doing a story about the 'ins and outs' of vibrators, and another is actually reviewing porn. That should really ruffle some feathers within the more conservative quarters of the magazine world.' Added Pratt: 'Some [of our readers] might be a little put off by the idea of an entire 'sex issue' at first. But if they just give it a chance, I'm confident they won't be able to put it downuntil their boyfriends get home.' In spite of the enthusiasm among Jane staffers, the decision to publish a sex issue was not an easy one. 'Initially, we were afraid our advertisers were going to shy away from this,' advertising director Corinne McHugh said. 'It turns out, they were all crazy for the idea. We had to double our page count just to keep up with the ads that came flooding in.' In the wake of the announcement, a number of other publications have announced plans for 'sex issues,' including Cosmopolitan, Vogue, FHM, Stuff, Men's Health, Esquire, Spin, Entertainment Weekly, Sports Illustrated, Vanity Fair, Harper's, Better Homes & Gardens, Money, Mother Jones, Comics Buyer's Guide, National Geographic, Reason, The Watchtower, Model Railroader, Biblical Archaeology Review, and Cat Fancy. 'I don't know why we didn't think of this sooner,' Pratt said. 'It's like a license to print money. Sexy money.' 
1	The U.S. Supreme Court ordered the music of '70s R&B love man Barry White to be de-euphemized Monday. According to the court order, White's lush, steamy, romantic ballads 'will no longer contain lyrics which are merely suggestive, but instead will offer specific, clinically detailed descriptions of the sex acts they have long represented.' The word 'love,' used often by White, will be digitally remastered on all recordings and changed to 'prolonged intercourse.' The pronoun 'I' will be replaced with '10-inch erect penis.' The hit songs 'I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More, Baby' and 'Can't Get Enough Of Your Love, Babe,' will be renamed, respectively, 'I'm Gonna Penetrate You From Behind Just Six-And-A-Half Hours More, Baby' and 'Can't Get Enough Of Your Firm, Juicy Breasts, Babe.' 
2	Chuck Norris Launches Massive Campaign To Defeat Obamas Gun Confiscation As the anti-gun movement grows among the liberal community, one cant help but wonder whether they have paid attention to what has happened historically when citizens are stripped of their gun rights. In fact, this is one of the major ways a government is able to gain control of its people, removing their ability to fight back. Now, Chuck Norris is speaking out, and playing an important role in protecting the Second Amendment right that keeps Americans safe. According to recent reports, Norris is partnering with the National Rifle Associations Freedom Action Foundation to launch Trigger the Vote, a national voter registration aimed at recruiting those who will stand up for constitutional rights. The campaign site deems the 2014 midterm elections more important than ever for the future of our country and our Second Amendment rights. It goes on to encourage Americans to register to vote. It also gives a history of why the Second Amendment was foundational to American freedom. What do you think of the campaign? Do you support Chuck Norris and Second Amendment rights? 
1	Though once defined as just a stand-alone meal, meat has risen quickly up the ranks to become the nation's second most popular condiment, according to a study released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. A pork chop tops a cheeseburger. 'In the past several years, meat's use as a way to enhance the flavor of foods has increased exponentially,' said Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns. 'Ketchup is still number one, but at the rate people are putting meat on top of other meats and foods, it may very well surpass it by 2010.' 'American consumption habits have made meat a necessity just so people can notice that they're eating something,' Johanns added. Johanns cited the rise of bacon as a condiment as the most universal example of this trend. 'By 2015, our researchers predict bacon alone will supplant condiments as diverse as mustard and Worcestershire sauce,' Johanns said. 'Crumbled 'bacon bits' are a classic addition to salads, and in recent years, slabs of bacon are increasingly used to wrap vegetables, fruits, and seafood. Adding bacon as a topping to cheeseburgers is old news, but now we are seeing bacon-topped meatloaf, bacon-covered chicken wings, and deep-fried, bacon-wrapped bacon sprinkled on pork chops.' Fast-food restaurants have led the charge in pioneering the new trend, Agriculture Department food chemist and study co-author Lynn Starck said. 'McDonald's discovered years ago that people aren't really looking for some kind of spicy sauce to top their sandwiches,' Starck said. 'Quite frankly, what they really want to pile on their hamburger patty is another hamburger patty.' Mayonnaisea mixture of egg and oilwas one of the original condiments, premiering in the 18th century and growing in popularity as diners sought toppings with flavors nearly as powerful as the food beneath them. According to the report, this growth will continue into the next century, with such new innovations as smearable beef packets, kielbasa chutney, and squeeze-bottled chicken. Pured-steak pump-action dispensers are already a staple at condiment stations across the country, as an estimated 79 percent of fast-food patrons now dip their fries not just into ketchup, but into meat in one of its liquid forms. High-end restaurants are also getting in on the act, with tuxedoed waiters now offering freshly ground steak tartare and a lightly seasoned pork mixture along with the more traditional black pepper at every table. 'In many restaurants, they'll 'meat up' almost any plate on the menu, even vegetarian ones, with an entire steak drooping over the top, at the customer's request,' Starck said. 'Bologna sherbet and ham brule are also just two of the hot new condiment-based desserts we're seeing more and more of.' Kraft Foods, makers of Jell-O, are expected to release their highly anticipated pudding cups with dried veal sprinkles in November, and Baskin-Robbins is experimenting with diced frozen frankfurters and gelatinous pork orbs as toppings for their many flavors of ice cream. Celebrity chefs such as Bobby Flay have enthusiastically embraced the meat-condiment craze. 'I've been dipping my onion rings in a mixture of stone-ground white cornmeal, fresh thyme, and lightly whipped bison meat for years now,' Flay said. 'A couple of years ago doing something like that would have gotten me kicked off my five TV shows. Now everybody's asking for the recipe.' 
2	Disturbing Proof That Hillary Has Ties To Terrorism Rocks Clinton Campaign... Shes Through Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton thought she was off the hook when FBI Director James Comey announced that she would not be indicted. As it turns out, her troubles are far from offer. This month, WikiLeaks released thousands of the emails that she tried to acid-wash and hide from the public. The correspondence holds significant evidence of her many crimessome of which have global implications for Americans. In the latest batch, the public was given an inside look into her infamous Goldman Sachs speeches, where she actually said her banker friends had shouldered far too much blame for the 2008 financial crisis. There are even more new WikiLeaks revelations, Eric Bolling, who took the time to sift through the emails, claimed on The Five. In 2014, Hillary sent an email to her Campaign Chairman John Podesta saying, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are funding ISIS. And the leaked emails also show Clintons staff debated how much outraged she should show lawmakers over Benghazi at her 2015 Capitol Hill hearing. K.H., they have lotsits like 4,000 emails in the last couple of days. This is absolutely disgusting. Lets not forget that Saudi Arabia donated a whopping $35 million to the Clinton Foundation. Now we have proof that Clinton knew they were funding ISIS during that time. What do you think? Should Clinton be arrested for treason? 
2	All The FBI Agents Are Turning On Comey One By One, The Walls All Closing In On Him FBI Director James Comey is losing respect left and right, with more current and former FBI agents speaking out against him each day. They have also provided more evidence about how far he strayed from protocol in his investigation of Hillary Clinton. This is a textbook case where a grand jury should have convened but was not, one agent commented. That is appalling. We talk about it in the office and dont know how Comey can keep going. We didnt search their house, they added. We always search the house. The search should not just have been for private electronics, which contained classified material, but even for printouts of such material. That the FBI did not seize devices in unbelievable, he continued. The FBI even seizes devices that have been set on fire. Another agent comments that, Comey was never an investigator or special agent. The special agents are trained investigators and they are insulted that Comey included them in collective we statements in his testimony. What do you think? Does Comey need to be fired? 
3	Report: US Stationing Marines In Ghana On Eve Of Nigerian ElectionsBrandon Turbeville The Marines are allegedly being stationed in Ghana so as to be available to remove American personnel from Nigeria if the elections result in violence, a possibility that some analysts are expecting. Nigerian Watch reports that that there may be post-election violence, especially after the results are announced as neither the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) or the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) is likely to accept defeat. Nigerian Watch reported that one of its sources has claimed that two Hercules C-130 airplanes touched down at Kotoka Airport a week ago and carried three helicopters inside. The source also allegedly stated that There are well over 200 marines and they are camped at the airport. The helicopters are believed to be meant for the quick evacuation of Americans in Nigeria in the event of violence. Of course, if Nigerian Watchs reports are to be believed then it is possible that the marines may indeed be in Ghana as a preparation to evacuate Americans from a violence-ridden post-election Nigeria. However, considering the fact that Nigeria has been struggling with a surge in the activity of Boko Haram, an ISIS-linked and hence US/NATO-linked terrorist organization, others have legitimate cause to wonder whether these troops are being stationed for other purposes. Not only are Boko Harams connections to ISIS (and hence US intelligence) well-documented, but the terrorists groups own military interests in terms of territory and destabilization are conveniently the same as those of the US and AFRICOM whenever one views it on the map. Taken into consideration the geopolitical and geostrategic interests of these locations particularly between the US and China and one can easily begin to see the role that Boko Haram plays in the battle between two major powers over natural resources, investment, and influence. Whatever the true nature of the military troop placement may be (assuming Nigerian Watchs sources are correct), given the track record of the US geopolitical movements in recent years, it is undoubtedly a development to watch closely.

2	BREAKING: Obama Silently Issued 2 New Executive Orders... This Isnt Good [SEE DETAILS] Once again, President Obama just acted unilaterally to fuel his own agenda by abusing executive action. According to Obamas new law, healthcare professionals will be required to violate HIPPA by submitting medical data to the government, which will then be used for gun confiscation and stripping Americans of their second amendment rights. Its clear that Obama has found a way to take action after failing to pass gun control laws through Congress, and now many fear that this action is just a small fragment of a larger plan to strip Americans of their rights. So what exactly does the new law mean? Well, first of all the government has mandated that the medical data of patients be submitted to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Once submitted, the data will be analyzed by the government to determine candidates who should not be eligible to own a weapon. That includes anybody who was involuntarily committed to inpatient or outpatient facilities. What do you think? Is this new law a clear a violation of our rights? Do you think Obama has more up his sleeve? 
2	Heres The Disgusting Crime 4 Black Men Committed Against 2 White Women... According to recent reports, four black men were recently arrested for a group of crimes including the double homicide of a white mother and daughter. Of course, the event has not been covered by the mainstream media. Reports indicate that the group of thugs went on a violent crime spree starting by robbing a pawn shop in Auburndale, FL. While one of the men robbed the store, another was waiting in a getaway vehicle. Shortly thereafter, the suspects opened fire on an officer who spotted the vehicle. After speeding off and swerving into an area full of sand, the men fled on foot. One of the men was immediately stopped by a police K-9. The three remaining men ran into the home of Patricia Moran, 72, and her daughter, Deborah Royal, 51. Neighbors notified the police of the intrusion, and when they surrounded the home, one of the men drove a vehicle out of the garage through the door. His was eventually shot but did not suffer any fatal injuries. The other two men were later arrested. According to reports, the bodies of Patricia and Deborah were found in the home, and the crime scene was listed as too graphic to describe. Both women were viciously murdered in the incident. The men, who have criminal histories, were described as both organized and experienced. Were not surprised that this story hasnt made headlines. Are you? 
1	Nick Sundin used to be neurotic about littering. The 37-year-old pediatrician admits he kept trash bags in his car, and would even pick up and throw away garbage he found on the street. Since boyhood, Sundin said, he was keenly attuned to the environmental degradation littering caused, an attitude triggered by the famous Keep America Beautiful 'Crying Indian' public service announcement he saw on television as a young man. Not anymore. 'These 'eco' products are amazingthey've totally changed my life,' Sundin said. 'Now, I just toss my used Seventh Generationbrand paper plates out the car window, knowing they'll soon be absorbed into the earth.' The growing 'green' trend in product packaging, which emphasizes the use of recycled, biodegradable post-consumer paper-based materials and relies less on petroleum-derived polymers like styrofoam, has unleashed a spontaneous trashing of sidewalks, roadsides, and pristine wilderness by gratified consumers. Though some environmentalists and scientists were caught off guard by the movement, experts say it is here to stay. 'The stigma attached to littering is at long last being put to rest,' industry analyst Tom Schneider said. 'As long as manufacturers are packaging their goods in unbleached paper and biodegradable, cornstarch-based plastics, more and more consumers will discard their refuse wherever they please, knowing it will safely decompose within 10 to 20 years. Call it the 'New Compost.'' 'PITCH OUT.' Environmentally conscious consumers litter a New Mexico roadside with earth-safe eco-waste. The reaction from 'neo-litterbugs' like Sundin has been nothing less than ecstatic. Highway littering shot up 6 percent nationwide in the last weeks of 2006, shortly after retail giant Wal-Mart announced its intention to encourage its tens of thousands of suppliers worldwide to reduce packaging materials. And now that McDonald's is incorporating post-consumer materials into some of its packaging, Golden Archesdecorated wrappers and cups are becoming common sites in public parks, residential districts, Civil War battlegrounds, peregrine falcon nesting boxes, and coastal tide pools. Consumers are also growing more packaging-conscious, checking containers and boxes for recycled and post-consumer content to ensure that, once used, they can be properly wasted. Receiving a decorative metal tin of cheese popcorn on Administrative Professionals Day in April delighted Miramar, FL medical records supervisor Donna Kern. Finding out that the tin contained 80 percent recycled material delighted her even more. 'I never used to know what to do with those tins, so they just created clutter in my home,' Kern said. 'But when I saw that this one was made of recycled metal and nontoxic paint, I went and sank it in the Everglades. Now I'm going through my home to see what other environmentally friendly things I can throw away or burn. Caring about nature has never been so fun.' Eco-littering, however, is just one of the ways the public is embracing the green idea. The growing popularity of flex-fuel cars, which can run on regular gasoline or the ethanol-hydrocarbon compound known as E85, means more people can enjoy old-fashioned Sunday joyrides and short drives to the neighborhood supermarket without fretting about wasting nonrenewable fuel. Compact fluorescent lightbulbs now save the trouble of turning off lights. And cleaner-burning fuels and sustainable energy sources such as wind and solar power are making the longtime dream of running household appliances at all hours a reality. 'Since they began discussing the construction of that offshore wind farm, I don't worry about leaving my air conditioner and television on for my cats when I go away,' Worcester, MA retiree Herk Ellroy said. 'They can get very hot. And lonely.' The new prevalence of eco-friendly packaging is the culmination of a decades-long struggle between environmentalists and the business community. Still, some activists are dissatisfied with the results. To curb the new littering, the Sierra Club is now suggesting that all consumer packaging be coated with a toxic, nonbiodegradable polymer that would kill wildlife and poison groundwater unless products were disposed of in heavy plastic garbage bags. 
1	Saying that the pair could barely take their eyes off one another throughout the hour-long sports news program, ESPN viewers told reporters Friday that it is increasingly clear SportsCenter anchors John Anderson and Matt Barrie are currently dating. Based on the way they keep smiling at each other, its pretty obvious somethings going on there, said Athens, GA resident Paul Nevins, 37, adding that the hosts were openly flirting with each other throughout the Top 10 Plays countdown, with Barrie at one point mentioning how cute Anderson looked in his suit today. They must have taken a trip to Florida together, because they couldnt stop bringing up some weekend getaway during a segment on the Marlins. Then when Anderson threw to Barrie before the next story, I swear I heard him say, Thanks, honey. Im pretty sure theyre playing footsie underneath that SportsCenter desk, too. At press time, Anderson and Barrie could be seen holding hands as the broadcast returned from commercial. 
3	The Start Of Food Shortages: Wheat Prices Soar Due to Ukraine InstabilityLizzie Bennett Although the physical shipping of wheat has not diminished so far, the prices are shooting up, from $5.50 a bushel at the end of January to $7 a bushel today, a rise of 22%. Russia and Ukraine account for 17% of global wheat exports and there is little doubt that the prices are going to rise much, much higher as Russia fights back against the imposed sanctions by either raising the market price or curtailing the amount it is willing to export. The latter will lead not only to spiraling costs but to shortages of wheat and therefore shortages of all the products, such as bread that relies on a constant wheat supply. Bad weather across Europe and freezing conditions and drought in the United States has fuelled worries over the amount of wheat that will be available. Large rises in food prices, and food shortages have in the recent past triggered revolutions that have toppled governments. It was food riots in Tunisia that started what we now call the Arab Spring, the revolutionary protests that have spread throughout the Middle East. Dont make the mistake of thinking it cant happen in the West, it can, and if the price of basic commodities is out of the reach of the bulk of the population, it will. Related articles: Lizzie Bennett retired from her job as a senior operating department practitioner in the UK earlier this year. Her field was trauma and accident and emergency and she has served on major catastrophe teams around the UK. Lizzie publishes Underground Medic on the topic of preparedness. 
1	Demonstrating how fully he had lost touch with reality, delusional man Jamie Farragut reportedly began turning off his laptop computer Tuesday at approximately 9:45 p.m. as if he were actually finished with it for the night. Sources said that despite not planning to go to bed for another hour, the 31-year-old legitimately believed he was done using the device, shutting open windows and quitting applications under the mentally unsound assumption he wouldnt be using them again until morning. Im all caught up on my work emails, so I think Ill just kick back on the couch and relax for a bit, said the man deep in the throes of psychosis while closing several tabsincluding Gmail, Instagram, and LinkedInthat he currently had open in his browser. Itll feel good to sit back and unwind without any distractions. I can just check the Twins score tomorrow, the lunatic continued. No big deal. Im all caught up on my work emails, so I think Ill just kick back on the couch and relax for a bit. Itll feel good to sit back and unwind without any distractions. According to sources with knowledge of the mans addled state of delirium, Farragut then guided his cursor to the drop-down menu that contained the computers shut-down command. After he clicked the option on his touchpad, the computer reportedly gave the wildly senile individual the chance to come to his senses by asking if he was sure he actually wanted to turn the machine off. However, by willfully avoiding the Cancel button and clicking Shut Down, the demented madman left no doubt that powering down the computer was in fact his intent. Maybe Ill get back into that book I started reading a couple weeks ago, Farragut told reporters while folding down the screen of his laptop and placing the device on a side table, actions that brought into stark relief just how untethered from the real world he had become. Or maybe Ill check out the new ESPN magazine I got in the mail today. It will be nice to just take it easy for the rest of the night, added the man, lost in an illusory world of his own hallucination. Then Ill call it a day and head to bed. At press time, Farragut remembered there was something he needed to check on real quick. 
3	Brazils GM Soy Tied Up Over Trade Dispute With MonsantoHeather Callaghan Could that have anything to do with a current trade dispute? Monsanto wants commodity trading companies to make sure farmers pay up. Royalty fees, that is. Theres just one problem The trading firms dont want to get involved. Monsanto, infamous for suing farmers around the globe, is demanding extra assurance for royalty payments on new South American seed technology herbicide-resistant Intacta RR 2 Pro. Its being described as an impasse between Monsanto and large Brazilian soybean buyers thats gumming up the works for continuing seed sales. Monsanto appears to be using the urgency of growing seasons for leverage. They are pressuring an unlikely handler. Brazils Vegetable Oils Association (Abiove) represents global soybean traders like ADM, Cargill, Bunge and Louis Dreyfus. Abiove says their trades members have been wrapped up in negotiations with Monsanto for half a year now. (Cargill, which supports biotech, has just created its own line of non-GMO soybean oil did they see trouble?) The precarious position is this: do you say no to one of the biggest dealers of biotech crop creation or go ahead and do the delegated dirty work of fee collection to resolve a time-sensitive situation? How would trading firms be considered for this position to begin with and how would it ever benefit them? It doesnt. It almost looks like they are being held hostage. Leverage indeed. Monsanto assures that the best solution will be found for Brazilian farmers, while a silent threat of legal trouble and potential export loss looms overhead. This writer is not defending the trade firms who are not victims and have the right to decline and force Monsanto deal with their own legal pursuits however, one can see a power play unfolding. Abioves president used this analogy with Reuters to describe the situation: It would be like selling a complete car and then having the tire manufacturer come and complain about something to do with the rubber. He added: Producers want certainty, in this time of seed buying, that they are not going to have problems when they deliver their soy six months from now. This year, the Supreme Court stood by Monsantos seed patents and their aggressive pursuit of suits when they threw out a long-running case on behalf of a large group of plaintiffs trying to ward off infringement legal suits from Monsanto for potentially having their fields contaminated with Monsantos GM seeds. One companys patent infringement is another farmers ruined crop but Monsanto reaps the benefits. It probably didnt hurt that a former Monsanto lawyer, Clarence Thomas, sits on the Supreme Court. Monsanto reps are apparently being invited to speak to classrooms. Big biotech is also moving to usurp the EU government to get back into play. If that werent enough, the same big biotech players are behind studies to help the bees. See how the pieces of trade, justice, education, government and science just magically fall into place for them but whos moving the pieces? Recent posts byHeather Callaghan:

1	The General Motors Corporation announced Monday that it has covered its main production plant with a 500,000-square-foot blue tarp until it can get some revenue together to work on its cars again. 'The rear-axle assembly line is all out of whack, and the carburetor department needs a complete rebuild,' CEO G. Richard Wagoner, Jr. said while wiping his hands with an oily rag. 'It's going to be at least a $50 billion job. Goddamn piece of shit American car industry.' According to Wagoner, the automotive giant spent its last $18 on cinder blocks to help secure the tarp. 
1	Gregg Reinisch, a Smyrna-area masturbator, stays on top of all the latest trends in swimwear by watching the E! cable network, it was reported Tuesday. Smyrna, GA, masturbator Gregg Reinisch. 'When I want the inside scoop on which swimsuit styles are heating up the beaches this summer, there's only one network I turn to,' Reinisch said of E!, whose award-winning swimwear coverage includes such programs as Fashion File: Sexy Swimsuits, Special Report: Beachwear '98 and An E! History Of The Bikini. 'E! is the only channel that offers the kind of in-depth information I crave.' According to the 26-year-old masturbator, without E! he would not know what suits to look out for on the beaches of St. Tropez and Rio de Janeiro, where less is definitely more. 'About five or six years ago, before I started watching E!, I took a trip to the south of France,' Reinisch said. 'It was awfulthere were swimsuits all around me, but I didn't have the slightest idea which ones were the hot new styles to keep an eye on. I was an uninformed beachgoer, and that's the worst kind.' Barry Booker, E! vice-president of programming, said his network strives to be the leader in the field of swimwear coverage. A scene from E!'s Emmy-nominated <I>1998 Swimsuit Preview</I>. 'Why is our coverage the best? Because we don't just tell the viewer what changes they can expect in swimsuit styles, we show them,' Booker said. 'For example, if pink is the hot color for bikinis this year, we make sure to actually show what a pink bikini looks like on a tight-bodied 20-year-old down on all fours in the surf. Or if, for example, floral prints are in, we make sure to show what a floral-printed bikini looks like on a tight-bodied 20-year-old down on all fours in the surf. Our viewers appreciate that.' 'There is an amazing variety of swimsuits we can lovingly pan over while a model arches her back on a rock,' Booker said. 'From the French-cut one-piece to the Brazilian-style bikini, to the traditional G-string, there are nearly as many swimsuits as there are masturbators.' While swimsuit fashion captivates Reinisch, it is by no means his only area of interest. 'Lately, I've been reading a lot of books about Miami Dolphins cheerleading-squad calendars and how they're put togetherhow the photos are taken, what's going through a particular cheerleader's mind as the photos are being taken. It's really a fascinating process,' Reinisch said. 'So you can imagine how thrilled I was to find out that E! will soon air a half-hour documentary on this very subject. Apparently, when the Dolphins cheerleaders went to Jamaica to shoot their 1999 swimsuit calendar, an E! reporter and camera crew tagged along to get the inside scoop on the whole thing. It sounds incredible. I'm masturbating just thinking about it.' 
3	Eroding Freedom in AmericaStephen Lendman Freedom is a four-letter word. Its fast disappearing. Its an endangered species. Wealth, power and privilege alone matter. Americas war on terror priorities advance them. International, constitutional and US statute laws are spurned. Rogue state ruthlessness replaced them. Bostons unprecedented lockdown suggests whats coming. It covered a two hundred square mile area. An important threshold was crossed. Martial law terrorized city residents. Constitutional rights were suspended. Perhaps it was prelude to whats coming. It can happen anywhere across America. It can show up nationwide. Thousands of heavily armed militarized police, National Guard troops, FBI Swat teams, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives operatives, Drug Enforcement Administration agents, and perhaps other federal, state and local enforcers showed what full-blown tyranny looks like. Defying public diktats risked arrest or getting shot. Helicopters hovered low over neighborhoods. House-to-house searches ordered pajama-clad families outside. Without probable cause, some were handcuffed and/or placed face down on sidewalks. Others were publicly strip-searched. Imagine whats coming next time. Freedom in Americas on the chopping block for elimination. numerous police state laws; waging war on humanity; indefinite detentions without evidence, charges or trials; forced disappearances; targeted assassinations; torture and other forms of abuse; Big Brother surveillance; warrantless searches; other privacy invasions; false flag national security abuses; war on terror fear-mongering; military commission trials, including for US citizens; domestic military force deployments; secret FEMA concentration camps; racial profiling and persecution; militarized local police; criminalizing whistleblowers; and targeting non-believers for supporting right over wrong. Tyranny isnt in the eye of the beholder. Its escalating in plain sight. Its just a matter of time until its full-blown. Washingtons bipartisan criminal class plans it. Its hard-right, unbridled, reactionary, and pro-corporate. Its anti-democratic, anti-dissent, anti-freedom, anti-civil and human rights, anti-social justice, anti-environmental sanity, and anti-government of, by and for everyone. Its dangerous living in America at the wrong time. Supporting right over wrong is threatened. Anyone can be targeted for any reason or none at all. Guilt by accusation is policy. Diktat authority has final say. The National Coalition to Protect Civil Freedoms (NCPCF) includes national and local organizations. Its mission is: To educate the public about the erosion of civil and political freedoms in the society, and the abuses of prisoners within the US criminal justice system especially after 9/11, and to advocate for the preservation of those freedoms and to defend those rights according to the US Constitution, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and its related UN Conventions, and the Geneva Conventions. Civil liberties are threatened, it warns. Public safety at the expense of freedom assures neither. Post-9/11, thought crime prosecutions followed. Individuals and groups were targeted for their beliefs, thoughts, or associations. Doing so violates constitutional protections. First Amendment freedoms are compromised. Theyre fundamental. Without them, all others are at risk. They include free speech, a free press, free thought, culture and intellectual inquiry, assembly, freedom to practice the religion of ones choice, and to petition government for redress of grievances. The Bill of Rights Defense Committee (BORDC) defend(s) the rule of law and rights and liberties challenged by overbroad national security and counter-terrorism policies. It support(s) an ideologically, ethnically, geographically, and generationally diverse grassroots movement to protect and restore these principles by encouraging widespread civic participation; educating people about the significance of our rights; and cultivating grassroots networks to convert concern, outrage, and fear into debate and action. Its Campaign for the Constitution headlines: Building a Movement. Restoring Rights. Reclaiming Our Constitution. At issue is restoring lost rights. Bipartisan complicity compromised them en route to eliminating them altogether. Rule of law protections withered under warrantless surveillance, rampant racial and religious profiling, and torture and even human experimentation with impunity. The ACLU highlights lost digital age civil liberties. New technologies compromised existing protections. Post-9/11, theyve undergone serious erosion. Web site visits are tracked. Cell phones log our movements. Emails and social network communications are monitored and stored. Warrantless spying is policy. Things we once thought could only happen in far-away enemy states or distant dystopias are suddenly happening here in America said ACLU. Privacy laws havent kept up with technology. War on terror priorities matter most. Protecting civil liberties in the digital age requires ensur(ing) that expressive, associational, and privacy rights are strengthened rather than compromised by new technology. Its also about protect(ing) these core democratic rights against intrusive corporate and government practices that rely on new technology to invade these rights. Theyre being systematically destroyed. According to theCenter for Constitutional Rights (CCR), Washington consistently (doesnt) recognize the protections afforded by the US Constitution and international law, and in doing so, it has failed in its responsibility to maintain a democratic society that is both open to, and accountable to, the people. Government is shrouded in secrecy. Checks and balances no longer matter. Bill of Rights freedoms are fading. Theyre fundamental in democratic societies. War on terror priorities breached First, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendment freedoms. At issue are search and surveillance authority, indefinitely detaining citizens and non-citizens uncharged, and undermining free expression, due process, and equal protection. Washingtons criminal class is bipartisan. Ahead expect much worse. Old time radio listeners recall a memorable Jack Benny skit. Your money or your life, a robber asked? After a pause, he was asked again. He responded saying Im thinking it over. Today no ones asked. It isnt either-or. Its both. A Final Comment Fixing Americas dysfunctional system demands fundamental change. It starts by reforming the nations sham electoral process. Throwing out bums assures new ones. Both major parties are two sides of the same coin. Not a dimes worth of difference separates them. Secrecy and back room deals substitute for a free, fair and open process. Duopoly power rules. Party bosses chose candidates. Big money owns them. Voters have no say. They get the best democracy money can buy. It happens every time. The entire process was constitutionally flawed by design. Over time, things got worse. Bipartisan politics serves serves wealth, power, and privilege. Popular interests go begging. Money power runs America. It games the system. It does so destructively. Controlling money, credit and debt for private enrichment assures speculation, booms, busts, inflation, deflation, instability, crisis, recessions and depressions. It assures transferring enormous amounts of wealth from ordinary people to corporate giants and super-rich elites already with too much. Washington is Wall Street occupied territory. What financial giants want, they get. Theyre waging financial war on humanity. Theyre more powerful than standing armies. Economies are strip-mined for profit. Communities are laid waste. Ordinary people are impoverished and left out. Vital needs go begging. Money power in private hands and democracy cant co-exist. Complicit politicians betray the public trust. They do so for benefits they derive. Social injustice defines official policy. Class war rages more than ever. Americas on a fast track toward tyranny. Stopping it requires free, fair and open elections. Its also about returning money to public hands where it belongs.

2	Michelle Obama Bashes Trump, Quickly Gets Hit With A Serious Dose Of Reality During a commencement speech at the City College of New York this week, Michelle Obama attempted to bash Donald Trump. Instead, she ended up reminding American what liberal activists have been doing for years. According to the U.K. Guardian, the first lady told the audience, Here in America, we dont let our differences tear us apart. Here in America we dont give in to our fears, we dont build walls to keep people out. She did not mention Trump directly, but she went on to criticize those who tell us to be afraid of those who are different, to be suspicious of those with whom we disagree. They act as if name-calling is an acceptable substitute for thoughtful debate, as though anger and intolerance should be our default rather than optimism and openness that have always been the engine of our progress. There is one major problem with this statement: liberals do this all of the time. And in fact, she could have been describing the Trump protesters weve seen in the past few months, especially those in San Jose. Clearly, she doesnt see the hypocrisy. The Obamas never do. But we can see it, clear as day. Hopefully, the students in the crowd could to. 
3	Kraft Factory Chemical Accident Leads to Deadly Poison CloudLisa Garber Its not just the fire authorities are worried about, however. The nitrous gases from the reaction are highly toxic to the human body. Poison Cloud Released When the firefighters attempted to pump the nitric acid from the contaminated tank, they inadvertently released a plume of poisonous nitrous gas from the chemical reaction. The toxic cloud was dispersed on Tuesday morning, and the problematic acid mixture was, at the time of writing this article, being pumped out by rescue teams. Witnesses compared the scene to something out of a disaster movie. Regional firefighters struggled with the fire but called upon specialists from Hamburg when the situation worsened on Tuesday morning. Regional fire brigade spokesperson Stephen Meier says, We have to swap in the specialists every 20 minutes, and then we also need new protective suits, and they are running short. According to Kraft Foods spokesperson Heike Hauerken, the facility uses nitric acid and sodium hydroxide as cleaning agents. The facility produces cream cheese, ketchup, and mayonnaisethings most of us would probably prefer to steer clear of poison fumes. If youd like to steer clear of GMOs, too, it might help to avoid Kraft foods as much as possible. Even some of your favorite organic companieslike Back to Natureare under Krafts thumb. Kraft Foods has even put forth over $500,000 against Proposition 37, which would require labeling of GMO foods. Additional Sources: Explore More: 
1	Employees at Sapphire Business Solutions expressed their collective outrage Friday at the brazen conduct of sales associate Isaac Schuler, a largely unimportant staffer whos only been with the company for maybe a month and who had the gall to take the best donut in the box for himself. As recounted by multiple office sources, the easily dispensable Schuler took the premium donut after a selection of complimentary pastries, bagels, and beverages were made available in the office breakroom. His coworkers went on to confirm that Schuler, an employee who could be fired today and nobody would notice or care, did not deserve the prized confection. Are you fucking kidding me? said senior product developer Roger Lindquist, upon learning that Schuler, whose first name he didnt know until he took the pastry, had shamelessly snatched the sole Boston cream from the box of free donuts. Ive been busting my ass here for eight years, and this asshole comes in off the street and thinks hes automatically entitled to whatever donut he can get his hands on? He hasnt earned that right, not by a long shot. Who the hell does he think he is? Lindquist added. The CE-fucking-O of Sapphire Solutions? Several employees told reporters that they were incensed at Schulers transgressive act, repeatedly noting that the top-tier donuts should be exclusively reserved for managers and the other more valuable members of the team. By blatantly violating this established hierarchy, numerous Sapphire employees insisted that the insignificant employee had gravely overstepped his bounds. The way he just grabbed the donut, he acts like hes been here forever, said finance supervisor Marsha Callahan, emphasizing that Schuler doesnt earn commission, doesnt take part in the morning sales meetings, and sure as shit isnt entitled to take any donut of his choosing at the expense of dozens of other employees higher up on the totem pole. He could have taken one of the plain glazed ones. Or even a cruller for all I care. But that Boston cream was off-limits and he should have known that. Wait, he drank one of those Simply Orange juices, too? Callahan continued. Not a good idea to make enemies your first few weeks on the job. Not good at all. According to numerous Sapphire employees, the egregiousness of Schulers breach of workplace etiquette was compounded by the fact that the nonessential employee remains unaware of the flagrant nature of his error. Look at that smug fuck over there, munching on his donut without a care in the world, said operations director Nathan Brunner, who alongside his peers was covertly glaring at Schuler as he blissfully enjoyed the ill-gotten pastry at his desk. The good donuts are for important people, and he is not important. I am important. Hell learn, Brunner continued. He made a serious mistake today. At press time, Sapphire employees had just about lost their shit upon watching the inconsequential cocksucker stroll back to the breakroom and grab a second donut. 
1	NCG Information Systems sales associate Greg Autry told reporters Wednesday that he is currently in the process of psyching himself up to ask Head Database Management Analyst Stacy Donahue to their offices annual Fall Ball. Autry attributed his anxiety to a number of concerns, ranging from whether Donahue already had a date to Fall Ball to worries about what a pretty, popular girl like Stacy would even think about a guy like [him] asking her to the first important dance of the second fiscal quarter. Everyones telling me I should ask her, but why would Stacy even say yes? said the 38-year-old, noting that Donahue is so cool and hangs out with all the cool coworkers, like [Software Project Manager] Jim [Wataski] and [UNIX Build Engineer] Marissa [Hanover]. What if she thinks its a joke and laughs in my face? Id be humiliated. We talk in the elevator and stuff and shes always really nice, though. Im probably getting way too freaked out about this. Stacys awesome, Autry added. I was going to ask her after our morning meeting, but she was talking to [Fiber Optics Technician] Eric Connors. What was she talking to him for, anyhow? According to Autry, the window to ask Stacy is closing. Tickets to the dance, which Autry said cost, like, 60 bucks, stop going on sale Thursday. In addition, he said he needs to tell head sales manager Cynthia Truswell whether or not hes bringing a date because Truswell needs to know whos getting in on the sales team limo. Moreover, Autry told reporters that if he does ask Stacy and she by some miracle says yes, hell need to order a corsage and figure out where everyone is pregaming. Stacys the head of the decoration committee, so at least I know shes planning on going, Autry said, adding that the way she transformed the conference room into a winter wonderland last year was unforgettable. I heard theyre doing a Starry Night theme this time, and theyre going to get all these glow necklaces and stars. Bottom line, if Stacys in charge of it, its going to come out looking great. I just hope she says yes, Autry added. But I guess I could always go stag. Im pretty sure my wife wont want to go. At press time, Stacy was standing in the office kitchen all by herself, and sources confirmed it was high time Autry grow a pair. 
2	Michelle Obama Furious After Melania Trump Outclasses Her On First Day As First Lady Last Thursday, Donald and Melania Trump flew to the White House to meet with Barack and Michelle Obama. With the current and future First Ladies side by side, it was clear that Melania outclassed Michelle. Melania showed up to the White House dressed in a double-breasted black coat, a black skirt, and high-fashion Christian Louboutin pumps. She was the picture of elegance as she arrived for her private meeting with Michelle and Jill Biden. Some sources have noted that Michelle was so enraged about the fact that Trump won, she refused to appear on camera at all. Nobody will know for sure if she treated Melania with the respect she deserves. In fact, Michelle was so resistant to play nice with the Trumps the media was forced to cancel the customary photo of the two couples. The Obamas canceled a photo-op of the current and future first couples outside the south entrance of the White House, The Wall Street Journal reported. In the first visit to the White House after the 2008 election, Mr. Obama and first lady Michelle Obama posed for the cameras alongside President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush. The decision not to participate in this tradition illustrates how bitter the campaign was, particularly for Mrs. Obama who delivered some of the most emotional arguments against electing Mr. Trump. Michelles behavior is absolutely unacceptable for a first lady. Were sure Laura wasnt thrilled to be posing with the Obamas eight years ago. What do you think? Are you excited to have Michelle out of the White House once and for all? 
2	Obama Caught Handing Servicemen THIS Using A Secret Handshake [SEE PHOTOS] According to reports from AOL, This was the first time I successfully made a photo of the president exchanging a coin, Walsh, a photojournalist with the AP for 23 years, told AOL.com. She was a member of the AP team that won a Pulitzer for its coverage of the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal. Of his handoff, Charron reported that no such interference troubled the coin delivery Obama made to him, and he noted the swiftness with which the exchange was carried out. It actually happened so quick, it was just like a normal handshake, Charron said. The ritual of handing out challenge coins is a long tradition among those in the military. In addition to the presidential challenge coin which is the most coveted high-ranking officials and even lawmakers have been know to distribute them, largely to military personnel, according to Downings blog post. What do you make of this? Please leave your comments below.

2	Man Who Refused To Stop Flying American Flag May Lose His Business As a country that has historically boasted patriotism, it is discouraging to see the lengths the government is going to prevent citizens from showing pride in their country. The recent case is that of Jeff Verzi, who works at Family Hardware in Cape Coral, Florida, and faced consequences after decided to honor six members of his family by placing flags outside the store. Verzi has 6 family members who have served in the military. Unfortunately for him, someone decided to report the gesture, claiming they were offended. An officer arrived to the location shortly after receiving the anonymous complaint. Perhaps even more shocking is the fact that these were not full-sized flags, but rather foot-tall flags that can be held with one hand. Its hard to imagine that the display was causing any harm or violating any code, however the government employee told the hardware store owner that the flags violated a city ordinance against placing banners in the right of way. Shortly after the incident, Verzi appeared on television to discuss the interaction and his reason for flying the flags. They represent my family who served in the military, Verzi claimed. Every time I look out the door seeing the flags flying in the wind makes me feel like my family is standing beside me. Several of the citys residents have stood up in support of Verzi by waving flags of their own. What do you think? Do you support Verzi? 
2	Obama Fighting To Stop Illegal Immigrant Deportations According to recent reports, illegal immigrants are actually starting to find lawyers to help defend them, at a much easier rate thanks to the Obama administration. In fact, the administration actually provides attorneys incentives for taking on illegal clients pro bono, through special programs created by the federal government. According to a report released by the Executive Office for Immigration Review, 54% of those in illegal immigration proceedings in 2013 were represented. Contrastingly, in 2009, only 39% facing charges had attorneys. When the National Journal investigated this spike, they found that the federal government had implemented the incentives. The Department of Health and Human Services also provides pro bono representation to illegal juveniles, and also aids custodians of undocumented children find attorneys to represent them. Many of these immigration procedures have changed dramatically since President Obama took office in 2009. Just two years later, the Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement asked officials to be more lax of illegal immigrants. As if that werent enough, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals allows juveniles to delay deportation proceedings, which also allows them to stretch out their cases for years. Now, according to Crystal Williams, executive director of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, immigrants are starting recognize a kind of a savvier understanding of what their rights might be. Thanks to that, fewer deportations are actually being processed, dropping by 43% from 2009 to 2013. And nearly 50% of illegal immigrants win their court cases. What do you think? Are immigration laws moving in the wrong direction?

3	GMO Monsanto to be put on Trial for Crimes against Nature and HumanityBy Catherine J. Frompovich In Paris, France, during the Climate Conference several groups (Organic Consumers Association, IFOAM, Navdanya, Regeneration International) declared via a Press Release that they will put Monsanto on trial for crimes against nature and humanity, and ecocide, in The Hague, Netherlands, next year on World Food Day, October 16, 2016. The announcement was made at a press conference held in conjunction with the COP21 United Nations Conference on Climate Change, November 30 December 11, in Paris. Here is the Press Release, which I encourage everyone everywhere to read and support. We have to take back our food, our planet and our lives! 2016 truly should be a year for dramatic changes, especially for challenging the poisonous foods we are forced to grow, purchase and EAT.

(that is still secreted behind closed door from the publics prying eyes?)meaning by the time this is dragged out the Trade Deal will render this suit meaningless by incessant lobbying of the liar/ lawyers paraded out from the BIG AG corporate behemoth???. There will be a legal morass of jurisdictional issues as a result of the TPP (whatever) at least insofar as we are able to discern what it actually says at this point, but there will still exist court systems within a country for individuals and corporations of that country. Monsatan being a corporation registered in the US can still be sued by US citizens or US corporations, but international squabbles will be adjudicated by a panel or court comprised of the countries who sign the treaty. At least thats my limited understanding of it, no one really knows for sure because its a big, freaking secret for a reason. Make no mistakelife as we know it will be changed forever if these agreements are ratifiedthen well have un-elected global corporate/ fascist soci/psychopaths, ruling by overruling every countries sovereigntyessentially forcing us to eat their agricultural chimeric poisons.

1	RAS AL-KHAIMAH, UAEFamed yacht club the Socit Nautique de Genve suspended eight sailors from the Alinghi of Switzerland and BMW Oracle Racing teams Friday for their part in an ugly boat-clearing brawl during the 33rd America's Cup. Alinghi skipper Brad Butterworth reportedly triggered the melee when he charged the foredeck after BMW's afterguard Larry Ellison slab-reefed while their boat was on port tack. 'These two teams have a history,' said Alinghi midbowman Curtis Blewett referring to last year's race when an overly aggressive jibe caused both catamarans to clear. 'It was pretty inevitable something was going to happen this time. You could tell they were out for blood.' On-the-water umpires immediately ejected Butterworth, who was then forced to swim 17 miles to shore.

'I seem to remember the Jazz playing pretty well for the past few seasons, and they always have a bunch more white guys than other teams, but I don't know any of their names or what they do. Ostertag's not on the team anymore, is he? Though to be honest, it's not like I'd know him if I saw him.' During last night's game against the Warriors, the Jazz were charged with their 49th consecutive delay of game penalty when no one got up from the bench after coach Jerry Sloan announced the starting lineup. 
1	Sources at Walt Disney Animation Studios told reporters today they are expecting big things from their brand-new computer-animated feature film Toy Tales, which will debut in theaters across the country this Friday. I think kids and adults alike are going to fall in love with the films gang of talking toys and their spirited, often touching adventures, said Disney Studios chief creative officer John Lasseter, adding that he expected the film to kick off a continuing series featuring the colorful, anthropomorphic playthings. Weve got Brendan Fraser starring as Ranger Gil, Tommy Lee Jones as his rival-turned-sidekick Robot Fred, and Ray Romano as the wisecracking Mr. Lincoln Log. There will be laughs, there will be thrills, and there will also be a poignant coming-of-age tale at the heart of the film to give it a real emotional core. We dug deep and came up with a great original premise that people will love. Lasseter went on to reveal that Disney has several other computer-animated films currently in production, including Scary Creatures, Mouse Chef, and Up High. 
1	A 10th-grader's hilariously inept essay on Hamlet was circulated in the Williamsport West High School faculty lounge Monday, eliciting mockery and bemused head-shaking from the teachers. Social-studies teacher Dave Archuleta takes his turn reading aloud from the student's essay. Written by hard-working but 'rather thick' student Erin Grupman for Beth Parker's English class, 'The Character Of Hamlet In William Shakespeare's Play Hamlet' kept the teachers thoroughly entertained during their lunch hour. ''Hamlet is a character in a tragedical play of the same name, Hamlet, which was written by William Shakespeare, and Hamlet also stands as the protagonist of the play,'' Parker, 39, solemnly read over the laughter of her colleagues. 'Wait, wait, shut up, it goes on: 'Hamlet, who is portrayed here as a very emotional soul, is a daring, brave character, who some believe has a bad temper.' I would say Erin is definitely on to something here.' Among those in the lounge were social-studies teacher David Archuleta, speech teacher Gene Ringheiser, and history teacher and girls' basketball coach Kay Burroughs. Each took turns reading aloud from the paper and providing his or her own derisive side commentary. 'I'm no Hamlet expert, but I think the best part is where she says, 'Hamlet thought that he was bound up inside a nutshell, which was Shakespeare's way of showing us that Hamlet was symbolically nuts,'' said Ringheiser between bites of a tuna-salad sandwich. 'Boy, you have to wonder what kind of horrendously incompetent teacher is responsible for producing students who write this kind of junk!' Taking mock offense at her colleague's attack on her teaching abilities, Parker retaliated by throwing a non-dairy creamer at Ringheiser. Grupman's paper elicited howls not only for its barely coherent thesis, but also for its pitiful punctuation. 'Listen to this: 'When we first see Hamlet comma he is getting over his father's death comma which some say comma indeed comma was a shock to Hamlet comma and he could not get over it when he sees his father's ghost comma which comma wants revenge,'' Burroughs read aloud during her turn. 'If you ask me comma this paper sucks pretty bad.' The educators' fun was briefly interrupted by the arrival of Adam Sigler, an idealistic algebra teacher known to take a dim view of student-bashing. Upon entering the teachers' lounge, the 24-year-old Sigler poured himself coffee, exchanged brief pleasantries, and then promptly exited the room, enabling his less respectful colleagues to resume reading. 'Is he gone? Good,' Parker said. 'Okay, I love this part: 'Then, Hamlet is arguing with his mother, and thinks there is a rat, or maybe Claudius behind the drapes, so he stabs through them, and sleys [sic] Paulonius [sic], who is really his girlfriend Ophelia's dad.' You know, I think most Shakespearean scholars would agree with Erin's assessment that the dramatic high point of the play is when Hamlet sleys Paulonius, his girlfriend's dad.' According to education expert Dr. Judith Berman-White, mercilessly mocking students behind their backs may seem unprofessional, but is a vital part of teaching. 'Teachers, like doctors and policemen, have stressful occupations that necessitate the periodic use of levity as a coping mechanism,' Berman-White said. 'They have to be able to blow off steam somehow. How else can they be expected to teach sub-literate, mildly retarded kids like Erin Grupman all day long without losing their minds?' 
1	In an effort to advance what they have repeatedly stated is the key element of their agenda, the nations gay straw men marched on the nations capital Monday to advocate for the right to marry animals, sources confirmed. If men can marry men, and women can marry women, then why shouldnt I be allowed to enter into holy matrimony with a member of the animal kingdom? said a straw man from Falmouth, MA, who explained that he should be permitted to wed whomever or whatever he pleases given that the legislative gates have been opened, a sentiment expressed by thousands of his fellow straw men as they hoisted signs that read Equal Rights For Interspecies Partners and Marriage For All Mammals Now. In the years since my state legalized same-sex marriage, Ive discovered that my emotional and physical needs cannot be fulfilled by another human, and it is clear that lying with either a cat, dog, or sheep is what I now want. We believe gay marriage has set an irrefutable legal precedent for this behavior, and we intend to act on it. At press time, demonstrators were reportedly shouting that they wouldnt simply settle for the right to marry their siblings or any number of partners, noting that their ultimate goal was to marry an animal of their choosing or, perhaps, an inanimate object.

'[Chris] Jericho isn't even coming close to landing those punches,' said Graziano, who, seconds later, gave a pained shout as wrestler Edge chopped Jericho across the chest. 'That chair-hit looked dumb as hell, but Jericho should have dodged low and slapped on the [finishing move] Walls of Jericho. Nobody can get out of that.' Graziano later commented on how old the Undertaker was looking, and how the Deadman wouldn't be able to single-handedly bury people alive for too much longer. 
2	VIDEO: ISIS Make 300 Soldiers March Naked To Their Execution A recent video that shows militants from ISIS stripping down hostages to their underwear and forcing them to march to their own execution has been making its way around the internet. The shocking video reveals just what the terrorist organization is capable of. According to reports, the 250 men were captured from the Syrian air base Taqba. In the capture, they also gained access to a variety of warplanes, helicopters, tanks, artillery, and ammunition. That is not good news for a group known for mass executions and beheadingsand especially for filming those crimes. The video, which is too graphic to be shown here, reveals that the men were shot and piled on top of one another. According to the videos description, they were Army officers and Nusayri people, a minority of Shia Muslims in Syria. A soldier for the Islamic State has confirmed that the men were in fact executed. What do you think? Does ISIS need to be stopped immediately? 
2	ExPresident Obamas true identity has been under question for some time. Though he claims to be a Christian and a supporter of American values, his actions often indicate otherwise. Now, one Former CIA agent has bluntly told reporters at World Net Daily that America has switched sides in the war on terror under President Obama. Clare Lopez proved that she is not afraid to call Obama out, even if she is on-the-record. Clare M. 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. She has also served as a member of the Citizens Commission on Benghazi since 2013, and was a career operations officer with the Central Intelligence Agency. As if that werent enough, she was Executive Director of the Iran Policy Committee from 2005 to 2006. Needless to say, she is a fairly credible source. Lopez argues that the global war on terror started as an effort to stay free of Shariah but that has changed under the Obama administration. In fact, Lopez believes that the Muslim Brotherhood has thoroughly infiltrated the Obama administration and other branches of government. She continued on to argue that Obama has essentially the same goals in the Mideast as Osama Bin Laden did: To remove American power and influence, including military forces, from Islamic lands. What do you think of Lopezs claims?

'The Republican Party wishes to thank the Joe for his cooperation and faithful support, and we look forward to acknowledging his needs again in 2012,' said GOP representative Luke Hayes, moments before getting in a car and heading back to Washington. 'Until then, old friend, we'd just like to say happy trails to you and best of luck.' Representatives for the average working Joe reported that the time spent together had been a pleasure, even though he did not actually get around to voting this year. 
1	Characterizing the experience as 'different,' local grandmother Eileen Rutherford, 78, ate Indian food for the first time Saturday. Although Rutherford was initially reluctant to try the cuisine, she was persuaded by her visiting grandchildren Melissa, Brandon, and Allison, who told the septuagenarian she needed to 'expand her horizons.' 'I couldn't believe that she had lived through three wars and the Great Depression and never even tasted Indian food once,' said Rutherford's eldest grandchild Melissa, 22. 'I was like, 'Grandma, you've got to try it. It's so good.'' Brandon, 19, made further entreaties, convincing a skeptical Rutherford that Indian food 'has lots of sauces, sort of like spaghetti sauce' and repeatedly assuring her that she would like the bread. After Rutherford's offer to instead make cold-cut sandwiches for everyone was rebuffed, she relented and accompanied her grandchildren to the nearby Bombay Delights restaurant. 'She only lives two blocks from the place, but she never went in there,' Allison, 20, said. 'That's just sad.' According to Melissa, upon entering Bombay Delights, Rutherford seemed apprehensive about the restaurant's Hindu-themed dcor, sitar music, and Indian people. Rutherford did, however, offer a positive comment on the table's elegantly arranged red linen napkins, saying, 'These napkins are very nice.' Rutherford's attempt to order food was mired by several setbacks, including a struggle to locate her reading glasses and an assertion that she did not know what anything on the menu meant. Despite Allison's best efforts to explain that the entre selections were clearly divided into sections by types of meats, seafood, and vegetables, Rutherford encouraged her grandchildren to 'go ahead and order' for her. Witnesses reported that Rutherford seemed overwhelmed by the unusual aromas upon receiving her first course. She appeared delighted, however, after she cut into the deep-fried pastry shell of a samosa and a recognizable pea rolled out. Rutherford went on to talk about peas for 15 minutes, including an anecdote about how she enjoyed shelling peas from their pods when she was a little girl. 'It's cool that we were able to get Grandma to experience a whole new set of flavors and textures,' said Brandon, adding that it was gratifying to see his grandmother sample coconut chutney and dum aloo vindaloo. 'Now that she's tasted Indian food, I wouldn't be surprised if she starts coming here all the time.' 'And the look of awe on her face when they brought out the fluffy poori bread was so cute,' he added. 'When we deflated it with a fork, she just smiled.' Rutherford's grandchildren said the highlight of the evening was watching in giddy anticipation as Rutherford took her first bite of the main course, an authentic goat curry dish. According to Brandon, Rutherford raised her eyebrows slightly, silently nodded several times, then took a sip of water. For the remainder of the meal, Rutherford, who had never consumed goat meat before, ate primarily rice and plain naan. In a statement given after the meal, Rutherford described the entre as 'just a little too flavorful.' 'They put an awful lot of spices in there,' said Rutherford, adding that she liked the sweetened 'little ball things' they had for dessert. 'It was very unusual.' Following the completion of the meal, the Bombay Delights waiter asked Rutherford how her food was, to which she responded that it was 'nice to spend time with [her] grandchildren.' After leaving the restaurant, Rutherford returned home, made herself comfortable in her favorite chair, covered herself with a blanket, and ate tuna straight from the can. 
1	According to local Patrick Johnson, the amount of crunchy onion bits baked into Arby's sandwich buns seems to have increased somewhat recently, the 32-year-old mechanic noted while visibly descending into a heavily depressed state. 'Yeah, I think there's more onion things, but maybe they're a little smaller, I can't really tell,' said the emotionally deteriorating Johnson, moments before slowly dunking a fry into a small paper cup full of ketchup. I think that paper they wrap the sandwiches in got thinner, too. As of press time, Johnson had left the Arby's to walk home, noticing that the billboard for that Christmas movie was still up. 
2	Thugs Curses At NoIf you are on trial for rape, its probably not a good idea to curse out the judge that is sentencing you. Of course, if youre on trial for rape, you already deserve the worst punishment possible. Tyler Grogan was receiving his sentence for robbing a white couple, holding them hostage, and repeatedly raping the woman for hours while a SWAT team prepared to assault his position. The crime was believed to have racial overtones though Grogan was not charged with a hate crime. Judge Alford Dempsey was reviewing the horrific crime prior to sentencing and was reciting the weighing of the facts, as is custom for this type of trial ahead of announcing prison time. I dont have to listen to this shit, Grogan remarked, interrupting Dempsey. Well, youre gonna hear it, and I dont give a rats behind if you like it or not, the judge told the thug. He then proceeded to sentence Grogan to seven consecutive life sentences with an additional 270 years in prison. That is the maximum punishment allowable for his crimes. Though Grogans attorney desperately tried to reduce the punishment by arguing that his client was sorry for his savage crimes, blaming the actions on Grogans mothers death, Judge Dempsey had little sympathy. After the sentencing, Grogans lowlife friends and family began screaming and cursing at the bailiffs, attorneys and the news crew. In fact, they had to be restrained after throwing several punches. Watch the whole interaction below and tell us what you think. Did Grogan get exactly what he deserves? 
1	A Coca-Cola commercial celebrating Latin American culture made its debut on several major networks last week, empowering and uplifting Latinos nationwide, sources reported Monday. The commercial that has invigorated the Latin-American community. 'We are very thankful to the Coca-Cola Company for showcasing the spirit of the Latin people,' said Mario Fernandez, vice president for the League of United Latin American Citizens. 'For many years, Latinos have been under-represented in mainstream American media, so it was gratifying to see attractive Latino youths enjoying the refreshing taste of Coca-Cola during a primetime television program.' Fernandez said Latinos across the country were empowered by the 30-second ad, which featured Latino actors dancing to salsa music, laughing, and opening cans of Coca-Cola. 'Latinos everywhere have been standing tall since this commercial aired,' Fernandez said. 'Salsa combines forms of music and dance from several Latin countries, including Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. Seeing this uniquely Latin American form of music featured prominently alongside the well-known Coca-Cola logo brought a smile to many Latino faces.' Fernandez added: 'Every time I see that commercial, I feel like I can touch the sky.' In addition to raising the spirits of Latinos, the Coke commercial has educated the public at large about Latin American culture, Fernandez said. 'Non-Latinos who've seen the commercial have a better understanding of who we are,' Fernandez said. 'When they look at us, they no longer see day laborers, housekeepers, and drug lords. They see that many of us are upbeat, law-abiding beverage-drinkers.' Fernandez said the commercial is a part of a larger movement toward mainstream recognition of Latin American culture. He cited the widespread popularity of Jennifer Lopez, Benicio del Toro, and Shakira as further evidence. 'Latinos have made a lot of progress in the past decade,' Fernandez said. 'But, thanks to Coca-Cola, we finally have a commercial we can feel good about.' Fernandez said he hopes that other corporations will follow Coke's example. 'Many companies receive a substantial portion of their profits from the Latino community,' Fernandez said. 'It is time that they gave something back. Specifically, we want more commercials that celebrate what we have to offer. Perhaps the ads could employ other aspects of popular Latin culture, such as our cuisine. Or they might feature some of our prominent film and sports stars.' Fernandez and his organization have been encouraging Latinos to buy the full line of Coca-Cola products, including snacks and beverages manufactured by subsidiaries of the world's biggest soft-drink distributor. 'We can see that Coca-Cola spared no expense in creating this ad,' Fernandez said. 'This is why we should buy massive amounts of Coke: to thank them for giving our people a reason to raise our heads high and to encourage more of this type of commercial in the future.' Juanita Nuez of Flagstaff, AZ was one of the millions of Latinos impressed by Coca-Cola's depiction of her people. 'Every time I see the Coca-Cola advertisement, it makes me proud to be Puerto Rican,' Nuez said. 'When the advertisement comes on the television, my husband and I call our children into the room to watch it so they will take pride in their heritage.' 'I hope someday other minorities will receive the kind of gift Coca-Cola has given Latinos,' Nuez added. Fernandez said his organization has encouraged other Latino organizations to air the commercial at public gatherings. 'No matter why people are meeting, whether it's for school reform or better working conditions, if you show that commercial, they are going to feel like a million bucks,' Fernandez said. 'This commercial has done more for us than the Macarena, People En Espaol, and the Latin Grammys put together.' 
3	As Above, So Below: The Globalist Agenda Reflected in Local Politics Through Council of GovernmentsBrandon Turbeville The fact is that those individuals and committees implementing globally standardized guidelines and policies at the local level are not merely select groups who are willing recipients of Federal grants, but a wide ranging cadre of local politicians, bureaucrats, and wealthy businessmen who work together through a complex setup of organizations, groups, and councils. This is not to say, however, that every (or any) person actively furthering the globalist agenda is actually aware of the plans he is helping to implement. In truth, it is much more likely that these individuals at the lower and local levels are largely ignorant of the ramifications of their actions. Most are simply interested in furthering their own careers and benefiting from the low-level corruption that placed them in their positions to begin with and increasing the size of their investment portfolio. As one moves up the structure of control, the level of knowledge regarding the ultimate agenda obviously increases more and more. It would be impossible to describe the spider web connections between the various international, national, state, and local organizations and individuals who facilitate the implementation of the globalist agenda in one article. However, specific players and regions may be explained in more depth as an example using this writers own location. Bear in mind, the conditions and organizations are not unique to South Carolina. They exist in virtually every state in the country and in virtually every city and town across the nation. Indeed, as my own experience highlights, although the structure of the system has been established in plain view, it is easily overlooked and hidden. Had it not been for a seemingly local issue, I, myself, might never have discovered its existence. Over the last several months, Marion County, South Carolina has been debating (I use that term loosely) the introduction of a new Penny Sales Tax under the guise of funding various projects. Some of these allocations are more justifiable than others but, by and large, most of the projects suggested were examples of wasteful spending given the current economic circumstances of the United States and Marion County in particular. When real numbers are added up properly, Marion County has approximately 38% unemployment[1] and, like the rest of the country, shows little sign that there will be any improvement in the foreseeable future. Even so, individuals within the Marion County Tax Commission have begun agitating for a one cent raise in the County sales tax. These individuals have estimated that approximately $9 million will be bled from the people of Marion County for the pet projects they have introduced. Some of these projects such as County library expansion, a new animal shelter, and park refurbishment, should indeed be undertaken at some point in the future. But, the shape in which Marion County currently finds itself, and the options being presented to the people, it would not be wise to attempt to undertake them at this point. Other projects, however, are unbelievably frivolous. Commission members have suggested the expansion of rural fire department facilities when the rural fire departments are so financially strapped that they cannot afford the facilities they currently have. Obviously, providing these departments with more expensive facilities and equipment that is accompanied by even more debt is a recipe for disaster in the long run. The icing on the cake, however, is the proposed wellness center that has been suggested by Commission members. The center will essentially be a gym and recreation center that will no doubt cost an extraordinary amount to construct and maintain. The entire project is an utter waste of money for Marion County and will do nothing to improve the economy (the work will certainly be outsourced) or the quality of health and life in the County. Indeed, raising taxes on the citizenry, particularly during an economic recession or depression, is complete folly. Cutting, gutting, and raising taxes in such situations have been historically proven to slow economic recovery even more and, in many cases, prevent it altogether. Revenue always comes up short in the next fiscal year.[2] Yet, while the Tax Commission is bringing its suggestions to the people of the county, it is also true that most people in Marion have no idea that there is any discussion over a new tax. This is partly because of apathy, but also because officials in Marion County routinely do everything in their power to keep discussions and decisions secret. Indeed, one rarely hears of any public comment meetings until the local paper mentions the outcome of the forums long after they have taken place. Even when the meetings occur, however, the hall is usually peppered (never even close to full) with select individuals who conveniently agree with the tax increase. Criticism of the tax is virtually unheard of among those who are proposing or promoting it. This might have something to do with the fact that the local paper, the Marion Star and Mullins Enterprise refuses to publish any dissenting views that may challenge the power structure of the County, particularly those involved in pushing the new tax. In this regard, I know whereof I speak, after having my own article (which met all the guidelines set forth by the paper) ignored. You can read my personal blog for the article and a brief account of censorship being exercised by the local media by clicking the hyperlink above. Nevertheless, for my own part, I largely dismissed this new tax attempt as just more run-of-the-mill local corruption and greed; but nothing more. Indeed, that was my opinion until I happened into a discussion with an activist based out of another county in South Carolina who told me that his county was also fighting a penny sales tax increase. This particularly perked my attention, because, in terms of the globalist agenda, when one witnesses the same developments taking shape in seemingly unrelated areas at the same time, one is generally witnessing a much wider agenda expressing itself disguised as independent decisions. This is exactly what I found to be the case in regards to the Penny Sales Tax. For instance, in addition to Marion and Kershaw counties, the Penny Sales Tax referendum has been introduced in Horry, York, Charleston, Sumter, Richland, Dorchester, Greenwood, Aiken, Chester, Florence, and Georgetown counties as well. The tax passed via voter referendum in most of these counties with virtually no opposition coming from any political leader and very little real opposition coming from the citizenry. Certainly, there was virtually no coordinated political action against the tax increase. Of course, some counties like Horry, which has never seen a tax it didnt like, passed the referendum easier than others. Richland County put up much more of a fight than most other South Carolina Penny Sales Tax targets. With this in mind, it is important to ask, Where is the center of the Penny Sales Tax? Apparently, the impetus of the Penny Sales Tax that is being stealthily introduced in counties all across South Carolina has its origins in the South Carolina Council of Governments, a statewide body of unelected members holding unelected and unaccountable positions which essentially acts as the conduit of agenda between the Federal (hence international) level of bureaucrats and those of the local level. Council of Governments, while international in scope, exist at the national, state, and local levels. With the exception of some county-wide and state-wide Councils of Governments (aka COGs), the COGs are divided up by region, not by traditional borders. This is the case at both the national and state levels. As mentioned above regarding the county-wide and state-wide COGs, some COGs are formed at the county level specifically. This means that a county-wide COG would be made up of individuals (elected officials, businessmen, community leaders, appointees, and other more questionable members) from each city, town, community, village, or neighborhood in the county. One can take a look at the Mendocino County, Texas COG, known as the Mendocino Council of Governments, to see an example of the county-wide COG. It appears that county-wide COGs exist in counties of specific interest to the globalist decision-makers while most other COGs are region-based. Virtually every state in the country, however, has a statewide COG. The statewide COG is the main board of oversight of the statewide regional COGs. Thus, underneath the South Carolina COG, there are 10 state-based regions. These regions are not defined by traditional county borders as much as they are defined by, as their name suggests, regional interests. For instance, the South Carolina COG contains the S.C. Appalachian COG, Upper Savannah COG, Catawba Regional COG, Central Midlands Regional COG, Lower Savannah COG, Santee-Lynches COG, Pee Dee Regional COG, Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester COG,Lowcountry COG, and Waccamaw Regional COG. The statewide regional COGs answer to the State COG in this case, the South Carolina COG as a directing board and oversight committee. However, the State COGs are themselves subordinate to a regional COG that is established at the National level. The official name for this organization is The Council of State Governments. Nevertheless, it is only a COG at the next highest level. The CSG (Council of State Governments) is itself broken up into regions, not bound by state or even national borders. The national level Council of State Governments CSG/COG is divided up into five regions or spheres of operation that bear an alarming similarity to the ten FEMA regions established in recent years, which is headed by a Council of Governorsput into place by Executive Order 13528 in January, 2010 as required by the Fiscal Year 2008 National Defense Authorization Act.The five CSG regions are Washington D.C.,Eastern Regional, Midwest, Southern Legislative, and West. Like the statewide regional COGs, the nation-wide regional COGs are subordinated to the national board of the CSG. Thus, it is a very tangled web that has been woven for one who wishes to discover the origin of a small countys Penny Sales Tax initiative. However, what seems to the average citizen to be merely another exercise in local governmental stupidity, incompetence, or corruption actually has its roots in a much more sinister agenda namely the implementation of UN-based planning such as Agenda 21. Yet, although even at the regional COG level, initiatives like the Penny Sales Tax introduced in Marion County and counties all across the country are largely hidden from the eyes of the public, when one understands the intricacies and technicalities involved in the interaction between the COGs and local governments, the implementation of the agenda tends to become much clearer. The way it works is that a centralized plan works its way from the nationwide CSG board and CSG regional COGs down to the statewide COG boards and, from there, down to the statewide regional COGs. The statewide regional COGs, such as the South Carolina regional COGs mentioned above (Pee Dee COG, Santee-Lynches COG, etc.) are then responsible for implementing the centralized Agenda 21-related plan at the local level via county councils, city councils, town/village administration boards, and community organizations and governing structures. In this sense, the county councils and other local governments act mainly as passive receivers and yes men to the wishes of the COG. Although the stated mission of the COG is merely to provide an infrastructure for local governments to coordinate with one another for the purposes of developing mutually beneficial projects and addressing concerns that may reach across borders at the request of the local governments, the fact is that the COG currently acts as a directing board to the councils, not as advisory body which serves the local governments. But while this may be the case, the evidence proving that the COG are funneling top-down decisions to local governments is not in any way openly stated on COG websites and official forums, at least those that this writer is aware of. However, when one examines the policy direction taken by the individual COG, one can easily see the same agenda taking form in each one. Likewise, the implementation of the directives issued by the COG, while taking a slightly different form in each county, is largely the same as well. Take, for instance, the Penny Sales Tax which has either been accepted or is currently being pushed all across the state of South Carolina. Keep in mind, the Penny Sales Tax, whether it has already been passed or whether it is being proposed, has been presented under the guise of several different justifications. Education, infrastructure, maintenance, recreation, highways, transportation, water and sewage, and developmental planning have all been used to justify raising the County Sales Tax by 1 cent. In Marion County, the main focus is repairs to recreational facilities, library and rural fire department expansions, and the construction of a new wellness center. Other counties have used this same argument in their attempt to raise the tax as well as variations on the concepts mentioned above. Nevertheless, the playbook is always the same. First, after the directives from the top filter down to the statewide regional COG, the idea is circulated amongst the COG board. Because many of the members of the regional COG are often individuals holding elected government positions, political appointees, active businessmen and otherwise influential people within their local area, the idea for raising a tax, creating a new road, etc. is easily suggested to city/county council, tax commission, or other relevant agencies and individuals. In the case of a person who is already an elected public servant, the concept can be directly floated to the council or commission of which he is a part. Once the idea is floated to the city/county councils, the tax commission or the agency who will allegedly be the recipient of the future funds discussion immediately begins between government representatives. Yet, although in any given county, there will be a sizeable portion of the population that will oppose the tax increase, the discussion does not generally revolve around whether or not the tax should be raised, but upon how the money should be distributed. Thus, as I mentioned earlier, the meetings and forums that deal with the topic at issue are usually reported in the local papers only after they have taken place, while those individuals who may be more inclined to support such a project are conveniently made aware of the location of the meetings ahead of time. As a result, the meetings tend to reflect overwhelming support for the program. The ignorance and apathy of the general public is also a major aid to those with an agenda, as it is in the case of most laws and policies foisted on the population. After the distribution of funds has been discussed among the individuals pushing for the increase, the tax raise is usually placed on the ballot as a referendum to the general public. Keep in mind, this only comes after months of propaganda by the local media and repetition of the inevitability of the tax increase. Thus, with low voter turnout, overwhelming apathy, and large-scale ignorance, the tax increase is very likely to pass. If it does, then that aspect of the COG mission is complete. However, if the tax increase does not pass the referendum, then the COG goes back to the drawing board and suggests a tax increase on the basis of yet another justification. As an example, if the tax increase for recreational improvements and library and fire department expansions does not pass, the next suggestion would be a Penny Sales Tax increase for road repair and maintenance. If this justification does not work, the premise of education will be used. Much like the EU Lisbon Treaty was repeatedly presented to the people of Ireland until it was finally accepted, the Penny Sales Tax will not go away. Neither will any other project initiated by the COG. It will be repeatedly introduced until the reasoning of the COG plan clicks with the public or until opposition begins to lose steam. Either way, the COG will succeed in implementing its plans (themselves coming from much higher up) via the councils and popular vote. Of course, it bears mentioning once again that the Penny Sales Tax is only being used as an example here. COG and their agents within local governments often use the same mechanism for the re-directing of roads, zoning codes, planning and development, and many other decisions that one would, at first glance, believe were made by their elected officials. Ultimately, local communities are being transformed in front of the people that live in them yet completely outside of their conscious knowledge. Indeed, the noticeable changes that do occur appear to have been made by the people themselves via their elected representatives pathetic excuses for public servants as they may be. However, this is by no means the end of the story regarding the COG and the agenda they are a part of. In future articles, I will describe how the COG itself operates, the history of the COG and its relationship to various international programs like Agenda 21.

1	After several months of diligent effort, staff members working on Hillary Clintons 2016 presidential campaign confirmed Wednesday they have made significant progress in conditioning her to convincingly recreate and convey a limited spectrum of emotions. According to aides who drill the Democratic frontrunner for several hours each day on her emotional responses to a variety of stimuli, Clinton can now effectively exhibit concern, mild excitement, and incredulity. Intensive training is reportedly still underway on some of the more challenging-to-produce emotions, such as polite interest and personal warmth. The headway Hillary has made is really encouraging, especially when you consider what we started with, said staffer Cheryl Dums, who later added that when she began working with Clinton, the candidate was only able to fluctuate between stony neutrality and terrifying anger. Were very proud that she can now display a virtually indistinguishable facsimile of empathy. Its the result of a behavioral modification technique in which we rigorously reinforce any approximations of compassion that happen to flash across her face while she listens to the concerns of voters. Were hopeful that shell have a functional range of 11 or even 12 emotions by the time the early primaries roll around, Dums added. In her current program of operant conditioning, Clinton is reportedly shown a series of imagessuch as a widow crying at her spouses funeral, a family opening presents on Christmas morning, and former House speaker Newt Gingrichdesigned to induce specific emotional responses, and depending on the appropriateness of her subsequent facial expressions and other body language, she is either rewarded or punished. Staffers said they began the process by slowly and painstakingly pairing a correct reaction with a correct stimulus. They reportedly first trained the former secretary of state to reproduce a happy emotion by repeatedly showing her a photo of a small child playing with a kitten and then rubbing a soft cloth on her face while physically holding her mouth in the shape of a smile until, eventually, she could display a passable simulacrum of joy. There are definitely some crossed wires, like how she nods and applauds after hearing the story of a family that lost their home to foreclosure, campaign consultant Allison Stevens said. But its just a matter of time and patience. When she gets a response wrong, we spritz her in the face with cold water from a spray bottle, and when she gets one right, we let her work on her memoirs for a little bit or call her Madam President in soothing tonesshe loves that. She also really likes Luna Bars, Stevens continued. Shell do just about anything for a Luna Bar! Staff members acknowledged that Clinton would be subject to extremely rapid regression if she were not conditioned with absolute consistency. They told reporters they didnt want her to go back to the days when people she met on the campaign trail would voice their deepest worries and she would respond to each by loudly stating, I am feeling empathy toward you. There have definitely been some setbacks, senior aide Tim Balducci said. Yesterday, when a reporter asked for her thoughts on the surge in refugees crossing the Mediterranean, she panicked and rapidly cycled through the eight or so responses wed equipped her with thus far before making a painfully stilted reply. We really hope to get that ironed out before the first debate next month. Other campaigns have taken note of Clintons progress and implemented similar programs, with Chris Christies staffers reporting this week that they have already had some limited success in training the New Jersey governor not to bite people or defecate on the floor. 
2	Muslims Are FURIOUS After SNL Takes This Public Stand Against Islam Saturday Night Live (SNL) has never been inclined to tiptoe around public issues. The hit show once again made a bold statement in a recent episode hosted by Reese Witherspoon. Covering issues from the 2016 presidential election to a spoof on Pictionary with the draw the Prophet Muhammad contest, the show was not afraid of stirring controversy. While the segments received mostly positive responses on social media, some claimed that the show took things too far. Watch the sketch below and tell us what you think. Do you support SNL? 
1	Moving a 19th-century armchair away from the mahogany-paneled wall as he rearranged his new office Wednesday, recently elected House Speaker Paul Ryan reportedly stumbled upon a half-finished escape tunnel leading out of the Speakers chambers. Oh, man, look at this thingit must go back 100 feet! said Ryan, who found the makeshift passageway strewn with numerous worn-down Montblanc fountain pens that had apparently been used to chip away at the plaster wall, the marble and brick of the Capitol buildings foundation, and the packed earth beyond. Looks like he was digging away from Capitol Hill and toward the Amtrak station. God, he must have spent years on this. At press time, a startled Ryan was said to be shrieking loudly after opening his offices Lincoln-era cherry armoire and finding himself eye-to-eye with a homemade, business-suit-clad dummy that his predecessor had intended to prop up behind his desk to provide sufficient cover when making a getaway.

2	BREAKING: Entire U.S. Senate Votes Unanimously To Defy Obama According to a recent statement released by the U.S. Senate, there will be no confirmation hearings for President Barack Obamas Supreme Court nomination under any circumstance. We believe the American people need to decide who is going to make this appointment rather than a lame duck president, John Cornyn told reporters. When asked if they would start the process after the new president took office, Cornyn was quick to maintain that the American people will have a voice in the process. After the next president is selected, Cornyn replied. That way the American people have a voice in the process. Republican members of the Judiciary Committee voted unanimously not to move forward with any Obama nominee for the Supreme Court, Cornyn claims. Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, who was not present in the meeting, claim that GOP senators were also told that the Judiciary Committee Republicans were all in alignment on the strategy. What do you think? Do you support this decision? Is this great news for our country?

3	Look Again: Who is Behind UKs Initiative to Help the Bees?Heather Callaghan Recently I wrote about a large Canada-wide surveillance initiative:Look Whos Behind This Large Study to Help the Bees. Following the money trail, one could see that Canadas government was placing hope for an answer untomajor international biotech and agricultural companies such as Monsanto, BASF, Bayer,Syngenta etc The very same companies whose chemical products are implicated for diminishing bee populations andhave everything to gain by finding an answer that doesnt point back to them. Does that seem like a gross conflict of interest to you? It may or may not surprise you to know that similar shadow puppeteering is going on in the UK. British MPs are up in arms saying that government bee research to boost pollinators is now tainted by corporate funding. NewScientist reports: A report released today by Parliaments Environmental Audit Committeecritiques the governments draft National Pollinator Strategy, which sets out plans to halt the decline in pollinating insects like bees. The strategy was created by Defra (Department for Environment, Food Rural Affairs).The list of consultees appears here. Whaddya know? On that list, among many Big Agri and Big Biotech interests, appears BASF, Bayer CropScience, and Syngenta. Also, the Crop Protection Association, of which Syngenta is a member. The critique states: The Governments draft National Pollinator Strategy envisages further research on the impact of pesticides on pollinators, but it needs to be transparent and subject to independent controls or it will not command public confidence, the Environmental Audit Committee warn. Some of this research will be paid for by pesticide manufacturers. Will the EAC report and discussion result in some kind of concrete solution? More likely it will be yet another compromise or synthesis. A realist also says no, when he looks back on 50+ years of damning studies and sees not innovation but decades worth of chemical swaps. In reading the pendulum-like clamor in news stories on this topic, I didnt hear anything about anyone actually stopping the corporate influence. Just outcry. A little foot-stomping. No repercussions. Just calls for more transparency more research. What a wicked gamejust like always. Chair of the Committee, Joan Walley MP, said: When it comes to research on pesticides, Defra is content to let the manufacturers fund the work. This testifies to a loss of environmental protection capacity in the Department responsible for it. If the research is to command public confidence, independent controls need to be maintained at every step. Unlike other research funded by pesticide companies, these studies also need to be peer-reviewed and published in full. So, as in Canadas case, it is highly unlikely anything substantial will come of this problem or the resulting studies. The EU is poised to become more submissive to biotech, allowing them higher authority despite previous GMO bans and the publics revulsion. The true application of science would include innovation and an abundance of non-patentable solutions. That real pursuit of discovery doesnt simply narrow the scope to either (chemicals) or (nothing). And it doesnt: Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist.

2	She Never Thought This Would Happen To her On Live TV [VIDEO] Nearly a year ago during a Memorial Day special, Bill OReilly sent a camera crew to a beach full of young Americans to question them about Americas history. The controversial segment pinned Bikinis vs. Brains, and revealed that todays youth know very little about our history as a nation. When one young woman was asked who we fought in the Revolutionary War, she answered that we had defeated the French. Two young men were asked about Pearl Harbor, and made guesses that China, Russia, and Korea were responsible for the bombings. They never got around to guessing Japan. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is it frightening to consider that these young Americans have the ability to vote for our President?

Download it here and please spread it around! The Cybersecurity Act (S. 2105), sponsored by Sen. Lieberman and Sen.

While Internet security is of the utmost importance, safeguarding our networks need not come at the expense of our online freedoms. Thats why civil liberties groups, security experts, and Internet users oppose this bill. The Cybersecurity Act is fundamentally flawed and dangerous for online rights: There is much our country can and should do to safeguard our networks, but sacrificing the civil liberties of Internet users is neither desirable nor necessary for that goal.

2	Smoking Gun FOUND: THIS New Evidence Will Put Hillary Behind Bars For 3 Years Hillary Clintons testimony was full of inconsistencies with what she told the nation directly following the Benghazi attack. Fox News CIC Catherine Herridge said Mrs. Clinton herself, in her personal correspondence, did not believe the video explanation for the attack. She also believed that it was a planned terrorist assault that it was not connected to the video, Herridge said. And thats important because there was what I would describe as smoking gun evidence on the day of the attack. Herridge says, it was known immediately that the raid was carried out by a professional team. Clinton told her daughter it was an al-Qaeda group that executed the raid. More evidence can be seen the full video below. Do you think Hillary should go to jail? Is 3 years a long enough sentence? 
3	Huge Lawsuit Accuses Twitter of Eavesdropping and Altering Direct MessagesBy Heather Callaghan An intriguing federal class action lawsuit is shining light on a little-known practice of the social media mogul which might include reading, intercepting and altering links in order to pump up its value which in turn, pumps up ad revenue. The suit started by Texas plaintiff Wilford Raney seeks massive damages for all Twitter users and accuses the company of privacy violations on user-to-user direct messages that are private.The lawsuit, filed in San Francisco Federal Court claims that Twitter surreptitiously eavesdrops on its users, saying that when they send a direct message Twitter intercepts, reads, and, at times, even alters the message. Raney explains,If a user writes a direct message that includes a hyperlink, Twitter will identify the hyperlink and replace it with its own custom link in order to show that it is the source of the traffic and to generate better advertising rates. RT explains it involves the cover of Twitterscustom, shortened t.co link and,By sending users to Twitters analytics servers before they arrive at the linked-to website, the social media giant is allegedly benefiting by showing the linked-to company where the traffic is coming from. Thus, they can negotiate better advertising rates. This lawsuit may be a result of revelations from a Polish privacy expert who shared that Twitterbots shadow every click you make from their site. Elizabeth Warmerdamof Courthouse News writes: Twitter has publicized that it replaces hyperlinks found in tweets but does not disclose that it looks for and replaces hyperlinks contained in private direct messages, Raney says. Twitter users reasonably expect that their direct messages will be kept private during transmission. Nonetheless, unbeknownst to them, Twitter intercepts and reads the contents of every direct message, Raney says. The company never obtains or even seeks its users consent to do so, which violates their privacy under the federal Electronic Communications Privacy Act and the California Invasion of Privacy Act, the lawsuit says. Raneys lawsuit aims to represent two classes: every American on Twitter who has ever received a direct message, and every American on Twitter who has ever sent a direct message. Raney, represented by Samuel Lasser with Edelson PC, seeks damages as high as $100 per day for each Twitter user whose privacy was violated under the federal law and $5,000 per class member under the state law. If successful, that could spell some extra wallet paddingfor the average Twitter user. When someone follows a Twitter fan page, it is often customary to receive an automated direct message from the fan page with a thank you and links to their website and Facebook page. In other words, thats a lot of direct messages and therefore, chances that someones privacy was violated if the accusation turns out to be true. Additionally, Twitter has more than one billion registered users; over a third of themare active. No doubt, the advertisers who may have paid inflated rates will be watching this case. The lawsuit has one major obstacle Twitters terms of service. Did you know that clicking that little box agreeing to their contract allows Twitter to have its way with your content uninhibited? However, its that word content that will be central to the case because it doesnt specify whether it applies to private messages too. Should your private messages be considered content for Twitter to intercept and alter at their discretion? Twitter holds that the above claims are meritless and plans to fight it to the end. If nothing else, this lawsuit highlights a potential practice that seriously oversteps the privacy of its users whether its truly specified in a contract or not all in the name of that almighty dollar. Whether this particular accusation turns out to be true or not it still highlights a pervasive attitude among big social media sites that what you express even privately is not your own.

3	Study: Children 100 Times More Likely To Be Sexually Assaulted By School Staff Than By PriestsBy John Vibes However, according to a long-ignored study, public schools are actually a far more dangerous environment for children, where students are 100 times more likely to be sexually assaulted than they would in a church. This point is not made to take attention away from the very real problem of sexual abuse in churches, but is intended to highlight how the same problem exists to an even greater degree in public schools and is swept under the rug. In 2002, the Department of Education was ordered to conduct a study of sexual abuse in the school system, as a part ofPresident Bushs No Child Left Behind Act. Hofstra University researcher Charol Shakeshaft led the study, and found that sexual abuse was rampant in American public schools. [T]hink the Catholic Church has a problem? The physical sexual abuse of students in schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests,Shakeshaft said in an interview after the study was published. According to the 2004 study, the most accurate data available at this time indicates that nearly 9.6 percent of students are targets of educator sexual misconduct sometime during their school career. Educator sexual misconduct is woefully under-studied. We have scant data on incidence and even less on descriptions of predators and targets. There are many questions that call for answers. It is a sad fact that sexual predators will be drawn to professions where they work with children, and it is also a sad fact that government agents are typically protected by their organizations when they commit crimes. With that being the case, when a government agent is also a sexual predator, they are many times able to prey on innocent children without ever getting caught. Shakeshaft also said in the study that, To get a sense of the extent of the number of students who have been targets of educator sexual misconduct, I applied the percent of students who report experiencing educator sexual misconduct to the population of all K-12 students. Based on the assumption that the AAUW surveys accurately represent the experiences of all K-12 students, more than 4.5 million students are subject to sexual misconduct by an employee of a school sometime between kindergarten and 12th grade. The government in any country is not concerned with the health and well-being of children, and they do not spend billions on education for the good of the children or the parents. They invest so much in schools, and care so much about them, because they want to be able to train children to be obedient citizens and indoctrinate them into the system of control that they are living under.

The Roman Catholic Church does, because it is also the controller of the worlds fiat currencies and central banks, so when you get to the base of all corruption, you get to the mother of all abominations, the false church riding the beast of world government, as Revelation 17 and 18 warns us. He who controls the fiat currencies, controls the nations. And that institution, is the Vatican. This article and the quotes used suggest several misrepresentations. By Zoey DiMauro | August 18, 2014 CNS news 2. Referring to all employees as educators is incorrect. 3. Over 13 years, there are reported 4.5 million cases of sexual misconduct. First, what is sexual misconduct: is it rape, a hug, touching? There are 50 million public school students K-12: so in a given year, about 1 in 140 students report some form of sexual misconduct. The study does not report how many of these reports are legitimate. Students, in a K-12 career, attend 2500 days of school. Children molested by priests spend much less time in church, perhaps 250 days over 13 years. So this is comparing apples to oranges. I was a public school teacher for 20 years. In that time, I did not hear of one case of teacher sexual misconduct, tho I can assure you, teachers are, every day, sexually provoked by students (a small minority, to be sure). Examples: a buxom teenager, seeking a favor from a male teacher, will rub up against himplease? I am not excusing any form of sexual misconduct but suggesting this article and the study are part of the campaign to trash public education. According to this article, the ratio of children molested in public schools is (280 per yr for priests, 350,000 by school employees) is about 1 case of priest misconduct to 3,500 by educators. That is hardly credible. No worries, Dale. This is article is deliberating misleading clickbait, taken from a study with such improper methodology and poorly defined definitions it is disavowed by the Dept. of Education in the preface. The study should have never been release to the public. All we have here is a fake news site, a fake journalist and a fraudulent professor, all with utter disregard for basic ethical standards. Cheers. Preface Any adult misconduct or sexual abuse in schools is of grave concern to students, parents, Although the authors findings are in part broader than the congressional mandate and therefore The authors use of the two words interchangeably throughout the report is potentially confusing Finally, despite some of the above reservations about this study, the Department believes that this Nevertheless, we must be willing to confront the issues that are explored in this study. We must all Eugene W. Hickok Thanks for the information. When I see a lie or bad research, I respond. I think my personal research showed how absurd the study is. Study: Children 100 Times More Likely To Be Sexually Assaulted By School Staff Than By Priests These factors alone are so erregious and anathema to rational human discourse, they are a root problem for the humanity. If the argument is invalid and false at the premise level, you do not present counterargument. If you do, you validate the false argument and it is no longer resolvable, it is now circular. You have then given that argument a false leg to stand on and become culpable by validating the false premise There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root. Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference. Cheers. Those who hear a lie and do not call it out are complicit. I crush the lie with evidence; you assert it is wrong. It is not the fools I seek to convert but those who do not know whom to believe I seek to educate.. You basically are saying I am wasting my time providing evidence of lying. Without evidence, your comments have no more force than the lies. The general problem with communication today is people make ego based arguments because of emotional manipulation from propaganda. Propaganda destroys human reasoning, breaks the bonds of communication between the people, and returns control of humanity back to the ruling class. You have made a series of logically fallacious statements that have invalidated you argument. Those must removed, so you can apply your intelligence and knowledge in a truthful (and useful) manner. The ground rules of argument must be reestablished. If you argue for any other reason than seeking to arrive at a common truth, you are being deceptive and will introduce techniques to be right. It takes a good faith effort on the part of both parties for any common truth to be established. With that in mind, and if that is your intention Read the basics on logical fallacies here: A fallacy is an incorrect argument in logic and rhetoric which undermines an arguments logical validity or more generally an arguments logical soundness. Fallacies are either formal fallacies or informal fallacies. **These are commonly used styles of argument in convincing people, where the focus is on communication and results rather than the correctness of the logic,** and may be used whether the point being advanced is correct or not Then do you best to follow this fairly simple, but very good guide from Sagan. Do not argue with people who make emotion based arguments, as they cannot be resolved (they circular, back and forth). You should not be educating anyone until you are able to share you knowledge through reason. The Baloney Detection Kit: Carl Sagans Rules for Bullshit-Busting and Critical Thinking Once you have mastered these techniques, gently help others come into accordance with the same foundations of human reasoning. The last part will help you stick to your principles, as it does me now. Cheers. Assertions made without evidence can be dismissed out of hand. I have a world class eduction at the best public and private universities in the world with top scholars. I find your criticism empty Thanks for the cordial reply, Dale. As long as people remain cordial there is room for progress. Let me just go through and examine those three, sentences as that is a manageable amount of material. Assertions made without evidence can be dismissed out of hand. I have a world class eduction at the best public and private universities in the world with top scholars. I find your criticism empty Well, we made some good progress that time. By cutting material done to size, so we can identity whats correct and whats in error we never build arguments on error (your first sentence). Cheers ! Assertions made without evidence can be dismissed out of hand. Many assertions can be made and if you do not agree, then challenge. Human reasoning occurs around five years old. This is a philosophical concept its what separates man from beast. If you study history they often actually didnt consider a person human until around age 5 I clearly qualified it with reasoning though. If you study biology, you will find there are also three brains: the reptilian, mammalian, neo-cortex (human brain and where reasoning occurs). Thats all PJ, I am not here to argue for the sake of arguement or play games. I am not interested in having a conversation with you. In Dales case, he was honestly attempting to correct the record on a false article, you have no such purpose. I trust that that is sufficiently cordial. hahahahaha!.cheers Hanz Hahha, you got moderated!! Heres the reply I was writing to the deleted post. Merry Crisis, Eddy! Oh, thanks for the heads up. I am unsuccessful in most efforts with adults and reasoning. But the bonus for me is it reinforces my habits and fortifies me against propaganda every time out write it out. The other big bonus is it pushes my patience to the breaking point training me to stay in form. And lastly, it makes working with children such a pure joy! They are so much easier to deal with, if they arent ruined by adults already. If they are, well I have a lot more patience. Oh, your ship is ready under my channels, you Christmas present. And I promise I will give you email info when I have set something up that wont link back to this account. Honestly, if I didnt want to talk to you I would just tell you. I wouldnt try to weasel out if it, that aint my style. Cheers! Village idiot laughter = trolling. That would make you an imbecile DaleDid you Roy Rogers have a thingy goin on? (lol)How does one describe someone such as yourselfHmmmm?How about a conceited, egocentric, self-inflated, pompous, malevolent narcissist, blowhard! does that seem to fit your peculiar personality disorder?you leak out all over the place(lol) dont forget to mention your age how frail you are whenever you paint yourself into a corner because you base almost everything that you espouse upon specious simulacrums platitudinous sophistry who are you trying to impress?your own delusional narcissistic ego? Your childish insults means you lose. .Seems youre still stuck in the polarized reactionary world of Offense/ Defense Logic .you see: Brilliant summation!! Most eloquent too. coming from youa helluva compliment cheers Excellent. Too bad its far too subtle for certain duality prisoners found herein. Cheers. Thinkin he dropped waaaay tooo many sandbags out of his Hot Air Balloon (lol) I only present my credentials when people call me unedcuated or imply I need a lecture on logic, as you did. Clearly, this was not to justify my claims but to show how absurd your lecture is. No, you do not make sense. I stand behind the claims I make, since I always do my research first, form conclusions, then report. I have no idea why you are badgering me. Please, leave me alone. HahahaI was already warned about you and how would reply. Sounds like aleeady everybodys got your number. And of course I dont believe anything regarding your credentials (or care), because you cant even demonstrate basic reasoning skill. Lotsa people would like you to leave them alone as well Dale. Funny, now the guy is writing me again after he told me to leave him alonedefinitely irrational and programmed. He just cant help himselfbeing a legend in his own mind all (lol) Well said! Thanks. Here is what my research discovered: The US has more poverty than any other high income nation. If we adjust for poverty (the surest predictor of academic failure), the US ranks 6th in the world in testing. Our universities are the envy of the world, including my alma mater, UC Berkeley, which is the top rated public university in the world. Harvard (where I did grad study) is the top rated private university. The problem is not education or teachers but poverty. When family income rises, academic success follows. I went from a small town public school, where I got an excellent education, to UC Berkeley, where I was mentored by some of the top scholars in the world, to a fellowship at Harvard. Young people are smarter than ever due to such devises as he internet, which is a world library I never had access to. They are the cutting edge of change, from legalizing pot to marriage equality to prefering socialism to capitalism: this is proof they have broken out of the matrix. No generation has ever been smarter, and it is the old who are complaining as they continue to watch fake news of Fox and CNN about the errant youth. I am far beyond Common Core, which is a state adopted (voluntarily) program which emphasizes not correct answers but critical thinking and mutiple solutions. The curriculum is controled at the local level, but the standards are more sophisticated and related to the kinds of skills modern workers need to succeed. I would love to teach multiple approaches to problems and critical thinking skills. I taught special ed and so we used multiple intelligence protocols, which recognizes we do not all learn in the same way and that there are many kinds of intelligence. The case against Common Core is based on lies. If a district can come up with a different program that teaches higher level thinking skills, it can get funded. Common Core, which is controlled at the local level, is being demonized as part of the effort to discredit public education and hand it over to for-profit corporations, like everything else. Americans lead the world in film, music, high technology, and many other areas with a population mostly educated in public schools. I never heard a teacher in 20 years of schooling and teaching for 20 years tell a student he was worthless. It is the critics of public education who are communicating that judgement, not the teachers who sacrifice a higher standard of living to bring life and knowledge to their students. That is my experience with 40 years in the system. Those telling the lies havent been in a public school in decades and any 15 year old could make them look stupid when it comes to using high technology to access information. Its really just sour grapes and part of a propaganda campaign to use taxpayer money to fund for profit schools, which in fact have no better record than public schools, while rejecting those that public schools take, the disabled, the learning impaired, the at risk, and the poor. Thats my perspective based on 40 years in public schools. I am not interested in anything you have to say until you are able to learn and demonstrate basic reasoning skills. Without that foundation everything you write is superfluous ego programmed nonsense. Dale, it seems that public education has done all it can to pass young people who cannot read along through the system. I have been involved in a massive survey of young Millennials over the past 2 years, and their reports from their experiences are mind blowing. A simple example is the sheer number of them who have reported that their teachers told them youll never amount to anything so dont even bother. As for young women and girls who use sexuality to manipulate, some of that is the mere fact that it works and some of that is how easy it is to do it. You dont have to turn in a great paper to get an A, assuming any of the classes still require more than a sentence. Did you teach Common Core? Do you know who is/was behind Common Core? Enlightening. In 2007, the Associated Press (AP) did a massive 20+ page article on school employees, 90% teachers, 9% administrators and 1% other staff, who had resigned or left one school after another when confronted with their sexual misconduct and harm toward school children, and found that thousands and thousands of such molesters went unpunished and simply moved on to the next school and next bunch of innocents. What is it that adults, mostly School Boards and Principals and Superintendents, with the real responsibility for caring for children are so much more worried about their pride, reputations and other intangibles that they refuse to do the just and moral thing and end the molesters career and access to children. In a way, this was found in the Boy Scouts too. Pride got between the responsible adult and his/her obligation to stop molestation once and for all. The AP article followed many of these molesters and discovered that they would move to anywhere from 10-20 more schools causing harm, so the refusal to cut these molesters out seems pervasive. Very few papers across the US printed this AP article! Important information, See Janus, thanks for the post. Its another thread of a tapestry of social dysfunction: hear, see, speak no evil. The mindset that enabled Sandusky to victimize boys for decades at Penn State. The Franklin Scandal is another example of people in positions of power sweeping abuses under the rug and going so far as to prosecute victims instead of the perps. FWIW, as a young university student I observed the situation of a corrupt sexual predator with a long history of sexual harassment moved laterally from his high level position to another another campus when victims became extremely vocal. Within a year in his new post, the pattern emerged again. Thanks, Blue, and I am glad you observed this without falling prey. If there was one thing I wish I could do with a magic wand, it is to wave the wand and remove every sexual predator/sex molester from a position in school, church, charitable organizations, etc. where they are positioned to get their mitts on innocent children. I was a director of Parents Anonymous many decades ago, and I sat and spoke with the molesters who told me honestly that the compulsion and addiction to molestation is so strong and overwhelming that given access, they will molest. California has laws on the books that allow judges to sentence molesters to the drugs that remove or help to remove the addiction, but the laws have been applied only once. Something is terribly wrong with adults as a whole if we will not protect innocent children. Look at the sentences for child molesters? 2-3 years is an average. A person possessing some cannabis gets 5 times that long of a sentence. I couldnt agree more, See Janus, well said on all points. You have my deepest respect and gratitude for being one of the few people to tackle this problem as an activist, and one of the few who grasps the systemic dysfunction on a number of levels. Thanks, Blue, but I didnt stay with Parents Anonymous long once the participants in the programs admitted the work was worthless toward resolving the underlying issues/problems. I moved over to or continued to work with programs that would do more to protect children. The biggest way to protect anyone is to give them awareness and skills, as you well know, and then, secondarily, to attack the social and civil institutions that fail to protect children. Adults being what they are, there are still far too many piss poor parents and intentionally indifferent social workers to make a dent in the problem. Being a victim of egregious sexual/physical/emotional torture as a child myself, till I left home at 15yrs old/never to return with the heretofore unrecognized symptoms exhibited by the acting out always in trouble paradigm behaviorscaused by the children so afflicted at the time..as ptsd had me locked in freeze mode seriously compromised my entire lifeI can attest to that most assuredlyyet so-called teachers always turned a blind eye to bullying as another aberration of the Prussian school protocols of education[sic] of a ubiquitously imposed draconian Skinner Box prison that were called places that educated ones children.conditioned suffocated more like. the exploitation of children is the most despicable act yet to be dealt with fully not much help is forthcoming from the 0.01% that actually encourage this atrocity sik twisted satanic minions that they truly embody. Would you be surprised to learn how many thousands of other young people your age suffered as you did? Amazingly, most of the worst of those with the money and power to keep these behaviors in place allowed their own children to be the subjects of harmful and perverted gang bangs. Warped. This kind of behavior toward the smallest of children was common in the military, especially at overseas military bases. I was privy to research done in the 1960s concerning brainwashing taking place on military bases to further and encourage child abuse and molestation. Most of the original children obtained for the MKUltra projects came from military families who voluntarily gave up their tykes for research, and Colorado and New Mexico were the sources for many of these children and the descriptions of the exact facilities used. Fortunately, I was living on an air base in Kansas during the Korean War. What do you know about Skinner? There is much there to learn, and then theres Joanie Baez own experiences. When Sweden did the research and found violence in 90% of Swedish homes, they knew they had to stop the violence. Their anti-spanking laws, as Ive mentioned took 9 years to get to 90% compliance. Tremendous amounts of re-programming and skill learning were necessary to alter parenting. I researched Skinner yrs ago as a person with a pronounced myopic psychopathic personality disorder NO evidence of a soul ..that regarded people as simply chemistry atoms essentially biological wind up toys reacting to Pavlovian Bellsinteresting to note. with regards to the social experiment where rats were put in a meter square living space with just the right amount of space for harmonious livingthen when the rat population was doubled because of the Territorial Imperative the rats started to exhibit homosexual pair bonding self harmcannibalismmetastasizing cancers etc etc from the stress of congested living quartersnow extrapolate that into Agenda 21/2030 of the transfer of the rural to the urban with shoe box apartments line-ups for your daily allotment of Soylent Green -contingent on a plethora a of vaccines with toxic adjuvants with fluoridated water chem trails above+ the introduction of Social Credit Scoring . we have a dystopia in the making that echoes the abject lack of concern for our children by these NWO slave master 0.01%essentially we are chattel in the eyes of our parasitical enslavers.to the tune of 200,000,000 million lives lost in the 20th century (wars)alone on a dysfunctional perverse human dominated planet, that in my mind, is an insane asylum of our Galaxy..children are the hope for the future at the mere mention of the profanethey will wither diesuch is our quandary. You got it! And during his professional life, Skinner was well rewarded! Some of the early Humanists moved forward to contradict Skinners methods, but Big Industry continues to fund the larger Social Experiment, this time using children, and the larger experiment has been going on since 1970. They hated the Baby Boomers, now its revenge. Its more fun that way for them. Lots of laughs when you realize that the Elite see us as being every bit as ignorant and useless as the Rats. I wish I could say only observed this happening in college. I was told outright by a tenured professor of linguistics (the most boring subject ever invented BTW) that if I refused to sleep with him I would get an F. To this day Im very proud of the only F I ever received in school. We underestimate the power of No and the falsity of grading people on their ability to subjugate themselves to authority. Way to Go! Im surprised your school didnt offer a means for confronting the grade, at which point you could have made a report explaining exactly what happened. Its always good to lay the record. Even when the institution fails you, the record remains and it will be seen the next time. Actually I did report this to a dean and was told the real meaning of the word tenure. That early lesson on how the world works served me well. I imagine some women chose the other option but we all know where that slippery slope leads LOL. Its pervasive, always the unspoken scourge. Ive been directly harassed too as a young adult and physically fought off an aggressor as a child. Lots of stories like this and more from all walks of life. A woman I knew who would be in her 70s now, abandoned her training to become a physician when the dean cornered her in his office with his drawers down. Prior to that incident she had been subtly and not-so-subtly harassed by male professors and fellow students. The power of no and claiming our dignity, yes, very important though some victims are very young. As you know, R, despite successful resistance, the resulting trauma can shatter faith in the inherent decency of humanity. Ive wondered whether some of this wasnt intentionally done to force women to drop their careers. How to shame these despicable women bashing perverts? You see, it is still going on, as much if not more than ever, and we just havent made any progress. Im very much of the mind of Eddys great summary above. Truly, the dysfunction is deeply and broadly systemic, and continuously given more negative energy by the powers that shouldnt be. Hence, even if there may be some progress for the protection of professional women, theres more depravity directed at the increasingly hyper brainwashed youth and their guardians, one step forward, 100 steps back. Its disheartening, worse is the feeling we will all go blind soon if the elites get their final prison planet system into full gear very nearly there as Eddy points out with the kick off of Chinas Social Credit system and all that it signifies. My nature is to be optimistic, triumph of good will and all that. Thus I find solace encountering people such as BeeTheChange, Eddy, and yourself. Points of light connecting in a Matrix, hopefully were here and awake for a very good reason. We do what we can. I agree in this instance, age means everything in how the trauma plays out. All women have their stories in varying degrees of horror. The vile pedophilia cancer is unbearable to contemplate and leaves me at a loss. Pride goes before a fall the nexus Sin that all of the other Seven Deadly Sins orbit around (imho) Wrote an knowledgeable post responding to this major problem and the Associated Press 20+ page report published in 2007, but selfnews Post is censoring vital information again. Who is selfnews Post protecting? Thats whacked indeed. It is under moderation, possibly triggered by the inclusion of links? Thanks, Blue, you mean that I mentioned Associated Press by name? Were you able to read the article under my profile? It was an awesome research project undertaken by the AP. Most of the newspapers who buy from AP refused to run it. I was lucky to find it. Happy Holidays! I didnt see it and theres no trace of it on your profile as far as I can tell. If you have a spare moment, reply with the article title and Ill look it up. Thanks. Happy Holidays to you too! Thanks again for tip on the Arthur Young interview transcript. Ill look forward to briefly touching base with you on it sometime. Great read, like an adventure story! Youre right, mind blowing. Take care and have a great weekend! Kind Regards, Blue Catholic predators vs. public school predators? Isnt the big pic issue here the powers that shouldnt be have been subverting our culture and moral values via Hollywood and the infotainment industry? .Occult symbolism and hypersexualization of children is egregious e.g. the grotesque displays of pop stars Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, etc. This world has been populated by perverts long before celebrities and technology appeared. It doesnt matter what the COUNTRYS moral values are (unless you are communist). It matters that parents are involved with their kids. It matters that our kids have a place in the family that entails responsibility, chores. Instead parents these days are so involved growing up themselves and trying to best their friends with money they GIVE their kids money to get the kids out of their HAIR. Even Tim Allen on Last Man Standing and his wife Vanessa, had to hire a housekeeper when mom changed jobs. Even though they have 3 young women hanging around. 2 of which are actually adults and stay with mom and daddont do a thing. Shake my head. Who just gets money GIVEN to them for nothing? I dont think allowances (some sort of right to get free money) or given money per jobmoney should be a salary for family members who pull their weight. Hard to start doing this after being raised thinking mom does chores and they were used to free money and all their friends get so much money from mommy and daddy they GIVE it away to less fortunate friends. more where that came fromAccess to the net should be supervised closely. A right to be earned not given. But, gee, that is just more stress on immature parents in a too fast moving world.This blame game and pointing of fingers is lame and non productive. Yes, stormy, first priority begins at home. Pointing to the effects of the entertainment industry is by no means a call for a nanny state on my part. Best to walk away from the sleazy industries, dont give them our time or money and teach our children well. Take back our power. Take back our power, absolutely! Complete agreement. Thanks, Chaos! Many important points youve made, and thanks. One very important matter concerns Parents being Good Role Models. Rather than do as I say as a form of hypocrisy. How about living proof. And, if you think kids dont notice how their parents speak, think, live and treat others, you would be surprised! The answer is teaching your kids at home what can happen and training them what to look out for without making them overtly paranoid. Without giving them the idea they can use that to manipulate adults. Making yourself a visible part of your childs school, getting to know the teachers and staff. We treat our schools as if they are no more important than babysitters who should feed our kids education to meet these ridiculous tests the govt has professed is good for education. Home schooling and no church and no babysitters? Get real. The entire idea is to prepare our kids for the world they are inheriting. Tough when parents dont know anything about their kids lives and the world the parents knew has changed dramatically. Though I am completely for home schooling now. Home schooled kids are vastly above public schooled kids, But parents are brainwashed they gotta make money, they gotta stay in the money making market and kids are put in the backseat. Why send ones children to be raised by complete strangers for 12 years in the first place? This is the issue. This model is not conducive to support the capitalist system. Big business would lose half of purchasing power by two parent households. Cost of labor would increase forcing business to pay a enticing salary, workplace injury would decrease, accidental death rates would drop, environmental impact would decrease, but big business would lose and they are not going to allow that to happen. Its funny how liberalism supports capitalism in America more than conservatism.. Starts out with Sexual Abuse then says Sexual Assault then Physical Sexual Abuse and finally Sexual Misconduct, deliberately changing terms at each paragraph. I believe the greater takeaway is that sexual projections towards children by adults is common in Human society regardless of the domain within which the child exists. School, church, home, etc. Its interesting to see an article aknowledging that the statistical probably of some sort of child sexual incident in the church environment is relatively uncommon compared to school incidents. I think this type of article also fuses too many different definitions of what exactly is reported and risks marginalizing child sexual exploitation and creates a false sense of fear in schools. So I see this article as necessary but potentially dangerous to those who fail to comprehend the big picture that child sexual exploitation is a continuous phenomenon across geography. zyklzy, you are so right bottom line, its satanism/ luciferianism. Thats what is behind all religions, financial institutions, the entertainment industry, medicine, governments, wars, ad nauseum and it loves to use and abuse children, creating fear and loathing wherever it goes. lotsa fallacies revolving around phalluses (lol) or Bullshit Detector (lol) 
3	Crisis Point: Putin, The West, and the Game Being PlayedJames Holbrooks The West is closing in. Ive heard Vladimir Putin referred to as The Chessmaster. Ive never sat at the board with the man so I cant say for certain this is apt. But it does seem like the Russian leaders moves of late have been carefully thought-out and even more carefully executed. In September of 2013, as the United States war machine was pressing for military intervention in Syria in the wake of a chemical gas attack on that countrys people, Russia swooped in with an offer to oversee the destruction of Syrias chemical weapons. In the face of such blatant sanity, the American warmongers had no choice but to agree to the proposal. Just a few months later, in December, Russia offered its struggling neighbor and former Soviet fellow Ukraine a $15 billion bailout if it would reverse its march toward the European Union. This forced the war architects hand. By February of the following year a Western-backed coup had ousted the democratically elected Ukrainian president, and a pro-Western puppet by the name of Poroshenko was installed in June. Now, after another year of Western provocations including everything from military exercises to accusations that it helped blow an airplane out of the sky, Russia has finally struck. On Wednesday Europeans received a jarring wakeup call when Putin ordered state-run energy giant Gazprom to cut its flow of natural gas to Ukraineand through Ukraine, much of Europedue to nonpayment. Hence forth, says Putin, the gas will flow through a planned pipeline toward Turkey. If Europe wants to tap into that pipe theyll need to build the infrastructure needed to link up. End of discussion. Bam. The effects were felt immediately and the whole situation highlights the type of game being played here. The American-led West charges forward in show after show of brute strength, only to be rebuffed at each turn by a calculated move from the Russian president. Chessmaster? I cant say. But hes putting up an impressive defense. Not that the Gazprom move was breathtakingly insightful or anything. The EUs dependence on Russian gas was a soft spot Putin couldve hit blindfolded. The EU as a whole, in fact, has become a sizable weakness in the Western armor. And perhaps some of its member nations are beginning to realize this. Wasnt it the French leader a couple weeks back who was suggesting it may be time to end the EU sanctions against Russia? Id ask Hollande, but hes busy dealing with a bout of terrorism right now. Funny timing, that. The sheer recklessness of the Western assault can be seen in whats happening to the price of oil. In a move meant to hurt the Russian economy, American ally Saudi Arabia began flooding the oil markettoward the tail end of 2014 in order to slash the price of crude. The idea was that Russia, heavily dependent upon oil exports, would suffer. What the geniuses crafting US strategy apparently failed to consider, however, was that China, the worlds number one oil importerand Russias strongest allywould reap huge savings in the process. Not to mention the fact that lowering prices have had adevastating effect on the once-booming shale oil industry here in the states. None of this is news to anyone even half-assedly paying attention to geopolitics. But heres the thing They cant stop. The West needs war. Its doomed without it. The central banking scam upon which its power is rooted has reached its absolute limit. And with Russia and the other BRICS nations New Development Bankemerging as a serious threat to their global dominance, the solution has been nail-bitingly clear to Western oligarchs for quite some time. Warin particular, a world war with those countries who would dare turn from the dollarwould reset the books. The problem, as earlier stated, is that The Chessmaster sees this as clearly as anyone. Hes studied the board and is three moves ahead of his enemy. The West is simply outclassed, and they know it. But they cant stop. War is an imperative. And so they inevitably resort to the method employed by thieves and liars throughout the agesthey cheat. The downing of MH17 in July, which US officials immediately blamed on Russian-backed rebels, wassoundly proven to have been pulled off by the American-backed junta in Kiev. Remember all the screaming from those same officials about how the Russian military was building up along the Ukrainian border? Well, teams of international inspectors who repeatedly visited that border reported that, yeah, not so much. And does anyone recall that Russian aid convoy purported to have been smuggling military personnel into Ukraine last August? Turns out the trucks were full of things like medicine, baby food and sleeping bagsthe type of stuff Russia had been claiming was in the trucks all alongmeant for the war-torn people of eastern Ukraine. And through it all the Western corporate media was there to toe the line. Thing is, were a bit too savvy these days. You know, the global political awakening and all that jazz. And yet, they cant stop. War is an imperative. So the question we should be asking ourselves is the same one the architects have been asking, I suspect, for a while now What is it gonna take? They can no longer lie us into war, but they can no longer survive without it. So whats to be done? Unfortunately forwell, everyonehistory has shown us that nothingabsolutely nothingis beyond the will of the cabal of psychopaths thatve gripped the planetary reins for centuries now. Not even world leaders are off the table for these people. They tried to take out Andrew Jackson after he was re-elected on the slogan of Jackson and No Bank. They succeeded in popping Lincoln when he refused their loans during the War of Northern Aggression. They took out Franz Ferdinand to kick off the First World War. Then theres JFK and his heretical monetary ideas. And do we need to go through the list of Middle Eastern and African leaders thatve been, shall we say, replaced? America needs war, and they need it now. Nothing theyve tried thus far has gained traction. They need to go bigger. And in most American minds it doesnt get any bigger than the Oval Office. So the question Im asking now is Are they desperate enough to assassinate a sitting president of the United States? As insane as that may be to read, believe me, it was just as insane to write. But I think its a question worth considering. Look at the hyper-nationalism that took hold after the September 11 attacks. Thats what they need: a citizenry so traumatized and enraged that the warmongers can point to something, anything (such as a certain Eurasian country), as the culprit. Maybe, just maybe, they think taking out a president would finally get us to go along. Its the Petraeus thing that did it. Just doesnt wash. You want me to believe theyre trying to bring thehammer down on the former Director of the CIA for the egregious crime of having pillow talk with his girlfriend? I dont buy it. And something else occurs to me. Remember Obamas purge of top military brass in 2013? At the time, speculation as to motive ran wild, from something as frightening as a conspiracy involving nuclear weapons to something as relatively benign as Obama simply feeling the axed werent politically correct enough. Whatever the case, it was clear that the boss wasnt happy and had no qualms about making a scene. But dont worry. Im sure the sweethearts of the military-industrial complex were cool with that whole deal. Look at history. Look at half the plots in military science fiction novels. It isnt exactly a foreign concept. First comes the purge from the paranoid leader, then comes the coup from the disrespected commanders. And that leads me to this I see striking parallels between the situation with Petraeus, a four-star general and one of the most highly decorated military figures in America, and that of Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler, who at the time of his death in 1940 was the most decorated marine in United States history. In 1934 Butler testified before a special committee of the House of Representatives. He claimed hed been approached by a group of powerful businessmen about leading a military coup against Franklin Roosevelt with the end result being the installation of a fascist dictatorship. All of the accused denied the charges and Butlers account was ridiculed in the media, though the committees final report suggested there was much truth to the war heros story. Indeed, the fact that the two-time Medal of Honor award winner isnt a household name on par with Eisenhower and Patton speaks volumes. Petraeus isnt squawking about some grand conspiracy, of course. At least, not that we know of. But think about it. If the call was yours to make, who would you get to lead a coup against the president in a climate of endless war, spying, intelligence gathering and blackmail? At a minimum, the director of the Central Intelligence Agencyand, up until an ugly scandal, an honored military manwould be on a very short list of names for the job. Blackmail. Now theres a thought. Could that be what these pending charges against Petraeus are really about? Are they using the threat of the cage to remind him to keep his mouth shut? This man was masterminding military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan before he ascended to the helm of the CIA. Can you imagine the secrets stored away in his head? Does he know what was truly behind Obamas military purge? Was he approached about leading a coup against the president? Is he being hung out to dry now because he refused the offer? And if so, why now? The affair with his biographer was made public back in 2012. Why the threat of charges here in 2015? Is something about to happen? I know what youre thinking. Im thinking it, too. Crazy, right? But lets be honest, its happened before. Theres no reason to think it couldnt happen again, especially considering the crisis point at which the power junkies appear to have found themselves. And at the end of the day, can we really put it past them to try such a move? And theres something else. Another potential gain that couldve been factored into the cost-benefit analysis regarding the assassination of Barack Obamadivision. Its clear they want a race war in America. They want the lines to be drawn between colors, and they want us to draw those lines ourselves. Its the strategy of divide and conquer, and at the moment their tool of choice seems to be law enforcement. Through racially-sensitive cases such as that of Mike Brown and Eric Garner, theyre working to make us believe police abuse is solely about skin pigment. It was recentlyrevealed that liberal billionaire and oft-accused globalist conspirator George Soros bankrolled dozens of different groups of Ferguson, Missouri demonstrators, to the tune of $33 million, so as to push the national debate about institutional racism. Imagine now, in the midst of this orchestrated racial hysteria, that the first mixed-race president of these united states is assassinated. Imagine, if you dare, how they might use such an event. This is just one guy talking out loud, of course. Just someone making observations. And in truth, I hope Im wrong. About all of it. The world would be a much safer place if that were the case. But ultimately, it doesnt really matter what I think. It does, however, matter what The Chessmaster thinks. And I wonder How many moves ahead is he in the game? Does he see the threat of being tied to a presidential assassination, and if so, what type of action is he planning to counter it? I believe these questions matter. Because, when you strip away the nonsense, the most important relationship to the health of the planet is the one between the United States and Russia. Theres simply no way around that. And heres something else theres no way around Vladimir Putin is a thug. Hes a monster like all the rest. The fact that hes a far more cunning and intelligent monster is no reason to celebrate him. That would be a mistake on our part. I focus on him here only as a means to shed light on a deadly situation. But we should never forget that given the chance, Putin would be every bit the dictator that John McCain dreams about being every night. How does the saying go? Those who seek power are those least worthy of it? Its something like that. I swear. James Holbrooks is a professional writer and editor. You can find his work or hire him atHolbrooksWordsmithing.com where this article first appeared. Follow James on Twitter. great article, thanks for sharing Seems plausible, but there many other ways this could go down, like another 9/11 false flag. Maybe Petraeus is resisting letting this happen. Wouldnt Biden be a lose cannon? Hang onto your hats[ guns] boys its gonna be a bumpy ride. Well written and well thought out. There is just one problem with this theory, though. Fat-ass Americans couldnt, or wouldnt, be bothered. Another US president assassinated? Yawn. Plus Obama is a clone so there would be no blood. They would just ramp up their laboratories and manufacture another Obama making sure this time to get his ears in the right place. I like your writing James Holbrooks. I think you are on the right track. There is something coming and most (like myself) are pointing at a nuclear war (on American soil, as I see it). But something is not right about this theory as well. My thinking was that USA would nuke itself. A false flag to top all the recent false flags that seem to be happening on a daily basis. But then, no. Its something else. CERN going bezerk and wiping out the universe as one desperate act of war against the human race, planet Earth and a great loving God who seems to have gone walkabout (but has not).does come to mind. Look for the link between Petraeus and the dead chief investigator in France http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1831.htm Seems plausible, indeed. I could see an assassination being blamed on home-grown islamic extremists, giving the PTB an excuse to write up a new, improved version of the Patriot Act one that allows them to quash any resistance they can (now) go freely looking for. Simple as, You dont agree with what were doing?! EXTREMIST!!! Not terribly interested in the possibility of an American assination on home soil, though I guess it could happen. The reaminder of article I found interesting. Not sure about the thug bit though Yes Putin appears very clever, though after reading the following link, I would venture to say that he is colluding with others in coming up with these clever strategies. it all ties in with SOC and even Turkey (that the writer noted) is closely tied in with SOC, although not yet a fully fledged member. The following article should put everyone in the picture of the battle between East and West and what is being done by the East to avoid war at all costsnot becaue they couldnt necessarily wion on that front (I think they could though) but to effectively destroy the IMF/WorldBank Nato thuggery and enslavement that currently grips and strangles most nations.. Do see this..if you dont yow will hear all about it in the near future anyway.. http://www.silverdoctors.com/united-eurasia-pt-2-the-powerful-organization-that-no-one-is-talking-about/ Putin did not stop the flow of Gas to Ukraine! He is going to have all gas go through Turkey. To understand Putin read Mike Kings The War Against Putin you can find it on Amazon. Israel is behind all of it, those Zionist Jews own all of it, including the Banks. The Same coin but a different face: Mossad, CIA, M5, M16. James Holbrooks: Vladimir Putin is a thug. Hes a monster like all the rest. The fact that hes a far more cunning and intelligent monster is no reason to celebrate him. That would be a mistake on our part. I focus on him here only as a means to shed light on a deadly situation. But we should never forget that given the chance, Putin would be every bit the dictator that John McCain dreams about being every night. Sure, Putins a monster (with an 82% approval rating!) There are still people in Russia who approve of and are nostalgic about Joe (killed at least 20 million) Stalin. Approval ratings are bull. The low down on Putin is extremely difficult to gauge. In the analysis of politicians one almost always finds a psychopath/sociopath. And this is probably a given about Vlad. He sure aint gonna be St. Vlad, not if he started out as a KGB operative in communist West Germany. Dimitri, dont compare Vladimir Putin to the mass murderer (20+ million) Josef Stalin. Stalin was an evil, paranoid monster; Putin is not. He may have started out as a KGB officer in W. Germany; but the position he held was that of an ANALYST, not an agent. In other words, he sat behind a desk; he didnt go around snooping on people or killing them. I picture Putin in a room ordering false flag attacks to be blamed on Chechens, as he did, and then ordering the assassination of whistle blower Alexander Litvinenko via radioactive polonium poisoning. I also picture Putin calling for IMF international bankster intervention in the Ukraine, passing draconian laws against peaceful protesters, and signing into law a requirement that all bloggers register with the Russian government. He has millions of dollars in banks outside of Russia and is chummy with Henry Kissinger. Putin is on record saying regional governments must be formed as essential bricks in the new international economic order, is on board with Agenda 21, smart grid, FATCA, G20 FSB bail in provisions, and global tax proposals. And much more that tells us he serves the international bankers. You dont think the apex globalists who provided essential financial and material support to Hitler and the Russian Bolsheviks (communists) and created and control modern day China wouldnt have been continuously working behind the scenes to capture Russias political and economic foundation? We are dealing with a global mafia playing elaborate rounds of good cop bad cop theater domestically and internationally. If the masses get wrapped up in one layer of theatrics in the apex globalists N-dimensional chess game putting all their energy into a major distraction and scapegoat creation for more of the same, it will be to our detriment as freedom activists. BTW, the end game is Technocracy and that requires a minimum level of per capita resources, capital, and energy. The fragile global economy and necessary infrastructure cannot withstand an engineered large scale war (WWIII scenario) and still support the endgame, hence we have Gladio 2.0 and Biowar (Ebola) 1.0. Good article but I dont agree with your final assertion that Putin is a thug and monster. Putin is the JFK of this century taking on the banksters and their western Zionist puppet leaders. Putins Russia and China are the biggest threat to the elites global govt NWO Exactly. Do you think the Rothschilds could be over levered in their over confidence in trying to control the planet. Could the Rothschilds be over extended in their devilish plans for control of this planet? Why would the NWO create China and at the minimum support the Soviets only to have them become their biggest threat? Take a look at the work of academic Antony Sutton and those who followed through on his research. The world and the history of geopolitics is far more complicated than you realize or acknowledge. The war on terror is bogus, its all manufactured Zionist terrorism Of course war on terror is bogus, thats red pill 101, right? Yes the international banksters who rule the world are evil incarnate Zionists, among other apt descriptions. That does not change the FACT that these same banksters control Chinas and Russias elite. You are buying into good cop bad cop geopolitical theater, right out of Orwells 1984 faux rival superstates meme. Theres tons of evidence, follow the trail, its there but it takes time and discernment. Start with James Corbett, think deeply about Suttons research, check out the work of Patrick Wood mentored by Sutton, and others. CMRedwood clearly sees the bigger picture. There are no good guys only the evil NWO. youre an idiot Anyone who thinks Putin is not a thug clearly have not studied the mans past. Monster? Well, who isnt at some level?Monster is a childish adjective. Please read up the history of Putin. (such as it is).he is indeed like the rest of them, but has a better PR guy. Im totally with you on this one, Brian. Putin is no thug; a chessmaster, yes, but no thug. Hes a heralded statesman, a saviour of Russia, after the disastrous rule of his predecessor, Boris Yeltsin. Putin can be best compared with the murdered 35th POTUS, John F. Kennedy, who also took on the banksters and their best ally, Israel. As you said, Russia and China are the biggest threats to the elites global govt NWO. The taken out leader of the African country that wanted to have a gold based currency, was not a thug. He would have saved Africa from the rape of the city of London, and the over levered Rothschilds Just saying.. Its very easy. Speaking about V Putin, Its a typical American way of judging somebody without understanding and studying such a figure in the historical context. You described all geopolitical events around the world in black and white, with all the neo colonial brutality of Anglo Saxon group toward their vassals but its a little bit more complicated. What we is observing right now is the crushing of a one polar world of domination and slavery headed by USA and slow moving toward a new political and economical system of a fair cooperation based on a mutual respect, recognition of sovereign rights and self determination. War of Northern Aggression? Homeschooled much? Would you rather call it the war of the Federal government against the states? All the states. At the end of that illegal war of aggression by the war criminal Lincoln, all the states had lost their sovereignty. You must have been schooled in the government indoctrination centers known as public schools. So was I but I never let my schooling interfere with my education. Putin is a thug, just smarter at it than the western morons. We are all dead. Extremely speculative, as noted by the author himself, but I believe someone else- Paul Craig Roberts?- also mentioned America was about due for a major false flaggy incident. I dont think Obama would be the target considering over half the country would basically applaud it. Maybe blowing up a national monument or a big mall attack killing civilians, although I guess a national monument would probably include civilians too, so, win-win for tptsb. Whats clear is nothing is sacred to the psychopaths in charge but power, American power, and if war is needed, they need to galvanize public support for a major war, and what better then the tried and true. I suspect that the end-game is far less speculative. Poroshenko is beginning his ethnic cleansing programme in E Ukraine. Putin has said We will not allow this to happen. He knows that Russia will not forgive him if he allows fellow Russians to be butchered. He also knows that if Novorossiya goes down, Crimea will be next on the agenda. I agree we are at the gates of global war, but I fully expected a Russian military response during the first Ukrainian offensive, which never happened- just underground, stealthy, apparently private-run arming and training of Novorossian forces plus volunteers from the Russian army and others from around the world, fully of their own free will, and Im certain plenty of intel and maybe some advisers. So, I dont exactly EXPECT a military response from the RF unless theres a slaughter of the Russian people in East Ukraine, forcing Putins hand. The Donbas forces proved their medal by repelling the idiotic full-frontal assaults of the Ukie army and associated Nazi battalions, and I hope they will again, although since the ceasefire the Ukes have had plenty of time to receive more training, weapons, and planning from NATO/US/Blackwater/CIA goons, and replenish their decimated forces, although as Saker points out, screw all the weapons and tech and give me motivated fighters defending their homeland, thats the key. I havent been following the Ukraine situation much since said ceasefire so if youve got anything to add, or points against my argument, Im more than happy to listen- Im not exactly trying to dispute youre contention or argue, I guess Im going off what happened before. I do agree in the medium to long run it looks like there will be armed hostilities with Russia, its just the timing I wonder about and the trigger event, which really could happen at any moment simply by mistaken/misinterpreted actions by either side. Time will tell. Aw, you were doing well until you got to the end and returned to your regularly scheduled programming. Yes, a well-written, even entertaining article but why spoil it by denigrating Putin in the last few lines??? I first surmised it was sarcasm, but then, NO it was not. Mr Holbrooks, Putin is NOT a thug, never was or will be, no matter how the pathetic a holes of the West shout and scream that he is Brian Concannon, you said it well and your response, in essence, should have been Holbrooks tailpiece, but unfortunately he killed his essay stone dead by resorting to, what is known globally as common Putin bashing, which can never diminish the stature of a global statesman such as Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. The world not only respects Putin. They love him. Very simple. That is how disinformation works. Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin are working towards one goal the destruction of the New World Order. Putin stands up for his people and country, that is more than can be said for any puppet head of state in the NATO nest of vipers. Ever after the obamister was placed in office, I had an uneasy feeling that the man behind the curtain might have ill plans for him in order to start a race war in America. Never considered they might blame it on Russia and Putin. Now I am worried. American sheep need to understand that the so called American empire has never been about or for the benefit of the American sheep. American sheep would be much better served to follow George Washingtons advice and avoid all foreign entanglements. Come back inside our borders and work at taking care of our people and repairing the crumbling structures of business, roads and such. If Americans keep their noses clean for a few centuries, perhaps the rest of the world will forgive the evil that has been done in Americas name. Good independent thinking in this article however presidential assassinations are so last century and as far as a coup goes with the 2000 election of Bush it can be said been there done that. The thugs are in DC/Tel Aviv/UK This man was masterminding military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan before he ascended to the helm of the CIA. Masterminding is not a word I would use to describe the guys handling of these pseudo wars. Zero gain other than lots of dead people. To then proceed with the obligatory vilification of Putin, well, that dog dont hunt from my perspective. It should be Putin the mastermind and Petraeus the thug and monster. For that matter, the squeaky clean General Butler would be astounded to find himself compared to the shifty Petraeus. The dual citizen scum in Washington and their goose stepping peers definitely see war as a way out of a hanging, Ill give the author that. If there is any conspiracy to overthrow the elected government of the US, methinks Petraeus would be PART OF IT, not opposing it. Your revelation that Putin is a thug is outrageous and discredits your article with that assertion. You accuse him of thuggery and yet, you give no proof. Just another well times smear campaign to cover your ass with everything you said before that assertion. If Putin wanted to be a dictator, he could have easily done so in the past few years. Russia is known for its coups and plots in the past when it was the Soviet Union. Putin might still be the one man that can save the planet from extinction with the war the Americans are frothing at the mouth for. Be thankful he is there! After reading through the comments on this post I am surprised at how many readers took offense over Putin is a thug. There seems to be so many apologists for a man that is certainly part or the upper level (elite) class. He is the leader of one of the worlds superpowers a position not achieved with a rainbow and lollipop personality. He was a high ranking member of the KGB what some would call a more brutal version of the CIA. So yes Putin is surely a thug, just like Obama, just like McCain or any other politician you can name. Come on people! At least read the comment in this thread by CMRedwood for a brief introduction. The real losers in this chess match are the innocent victims of the world whose name all these atrocities are committed in. We need to stop bickering over which elitist is better than another and start fighting for the billions of innocents. Holbrooks, I was reading you OK until you called Putin a thug. It lowered the tone of an otherwise thoughtful article by 75%. Pity. Putin a thug? Show us the evidence. You fall for the same trap the lame stream media does. Accusations without evidence. In truth, Putins Russia is probably more free market than the US. And more democratic as well (although that isnt saying much). Russia, under Putin, has invaded no country. Putin did inherit a very bad situation nearly 100 years under jewish Bolshevik communist rule and the Yeltsins drunken welcoming of western fascist trojan horses in Russian banking and industry. The truth is that Putin has performed a near miracle in a very short time. Pinheads in the US government who appear inept at even checkers may resort to war, but they will lose AGAIN! The author should know as he lives in a country that has had thug after thug as its leaders! The writer gave us a beautiful full course meal, but then he ruined it with a poop-pie for dessert at the very end. ..:Vladimir Putin is a thug...What idiotic rubbish! Google: The War Against Putin Amazon Putin is not a thug. Long live Mr Vladimir, only leader who makes intelligent moves __ voltairenet.org/en jaysleftist.info/invade.htm Putin is a thug? Putin is a Russian that loves his country and trying to protect his country from the zionist thugs. http://wakeup-world.com/2015/01/21/stop-nuclear-war-ahead Most insightful article that Ive read. Something really big is going on and it wont end well. James Holbrook, please can you give us an example of Putins thuggery as a statesman? I sure havent seen it. 
3	Officer Grabs Student By Throat and Slams to Ground While Talking After FightBy Amanda Warren The case highlights a spate of instances where school resource officers (SROs) use excessive force like they would on adult criminals but apply the same force to students. Students across the U.S. have been injured by pepper-spray, batons, Tasers, chokeholds, kicks and punches. It is a nightmarish form of corporal punishment used as a twisted form of discipline and sets a terrible example for how to resolve conflicts. Whereas Gyasi lost his temper and started a fight with another student over a pair of goggles the officer used fighting and his power as an adult officer to subdue and overpower the teen who said leave me alone and attempted to walk past him. The father told KXAN: The police officer that was actually in this particular situation he should have been trained well enough to know that this is a 130 pound child and that the action that was taken was totally unnecessary. Some lawsuits calling for better training and punitive damages are cropping up after revelations that a Kentucky officer was handcuffing elementary students behind the back for extended amounts of time as a form of punishment. If CPS workers are being installed in school offices shouldnt they turn their scrutiny toward this form of child abuse? People are pointing out that these instances as well as zero tolerance are adding to the school-to-prison-pipeline imagery that tarnishes the face of public school today. Amanda Warren writes for selfnews Post see her recent articles HERE Plain and simple: This is an assault on a child by a police officer. Result: Lawsuit. Round Rock PD, you should be ashamed of this officer. The child was not combative or resisting. He simply wanted to be left alone. I have no respect for officers like this. What a disgrace. Thank God for i-Phones and video. If my kid mouthed off like that, I would thank the Cop. The kid is a Bully and why does the freedom of free speech allow Blacks to say anything he wants offensive words like Cracker, peckerwood, Opie, but if I call one a N**ger it can be a hate crime. blacks have gotten used to special treatment from whites for what was stopped over 100 years ago. like getting College spots and jobs over better qualified Whites hahahahaha!.you should try stand up comedyyoure hilarious! you say it all with such a straight face.but of course you belong to Knuckle-Draggers Anonymousall you need is an IQ of a fence post to become a member (lol) You obviously have bought into the crap! Here are some stats garnered by the United States Government from 1980 1994, Consisting of 8-13% of the population, African Americans are convicted of 55% of violent crime and theft. A majority of Predominant Black Nightclubs with a median age of 21-35 have to do pat down searches to stop handguns from entering the facility. The last 2 generations have been raised to look the other way to a population where 87% of births are to unwed Mothers. If this country was invaded 400 yrs ago by rich Black people.. Whites were in fact enslaved by Black southern plantation owners repeated the history of the USA exactly.. White people would be holding a knife to your throat pointing guns at you(as you take a side in this debatethere is NO side)catch my drift?.let me elaborate further..The full spectrum atrocities of the rich powerful core generational families, that lead unfettered lives of luxury purposely inflicted deliberate poverty neglect upon an easily distinguishable minority of people. if you grew up under these conditions you too would be desperate, uneducated several generations into a vicious cycle of ignorance, poverty vilification with all of its sociopathic ramifications.This situation has been exacerbated by neglectperiodend of story.There is NO separation between people. only a willfully created dualism of Us Them which is the Hegelian Dialect mind tool used so skillfully by the Shadow Master overlords that run this world(eg: Divide Conquer)basically they play both sides against the middle you have unconsciously taken the bait.I could go onbut suffice to say.careful about whom you point your finger atit could be you looking in the mirror. Youre living in the past too, and have that typical attitude, feel sorry for me. NO MORE EXCUSES Judge, jury bigot all rolled into one.sad I stated absolute facts. All this from charter member, Edwardo!! Where are all you drooling red-necks coming from?.when you point your finger3 more are pointing back at youstupid is.stupid does. I bet theyre police officers Im glad I live in Canada, although this October 19 well be trying to get rid of a prime minister that acts on beliefs just like your famous Dubyas I think I just got censored by selfnews Postmy reply has been deleted!!!.(Ill try again after saving of my commentary) must have been a glitch..maybe?it did dissappear..anyway theres no doubt about what I think about the despot thats dictating edicts from his zionist Handlers in Canada. as if the NWO was alreadyfait accompli You are right with that, Eddy. And, its the same here in Australia. We are being sold out while we sleep and most people I talk to are totally blind to it. These people will suffer the most when the crap hits the fan. And its coming at us fast right now. The more people that become aware the more ridiculous our Governments become. Because, at the end of the day, they fear us AAAhahahhaaaa! Uhm, I live in the NE. And indeed, stupid is as stupid does, and youre the poster boy! Why did they teach us that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are the foundation for the law of the land? It is as if they have been orchestrating a revolution. No surprise here. Another brain dead liberal trying his damndest to denigrate the South, The conservatives, and my mind is just fine, thank you. Golden Rule applies. They do unto us? We annihilate them. Simple. Just like you! ppfftt! 
1	Noting that he has been with them forever and is taking good money away from younger, hungrier colleagues, executives at WebTrender Media have been quietly exploring options for getting rid of 24-year-old veteran employee Jason Rugg, sources within the company confirmed today. Jason has had valuable moments for this company over the course of his long, 18-month career with us, but at this point hes definitely overstayed his welcome, WebTrender CEO Ben Parisi said of the websites Senior News Editor, adding that Rugg currently earns the highest salary of his department at $33,000 per year and predates the majority of his coworkers by months. Sure, he was a great content aggregator once, but the reality is that the world has changed since Jason started out here at 22 years old, and it just doesnt make sense to keep dead weight around anymore. I mean, the guys a dinosaur. The last person in editorial who even remembers Jason was Heidi, and shes from the old guard hired back in 2013. At press time, company executives had reportedly scrapped their course of action after discovering the veteran employee was technically just an intern. 
3	US Gives ISIS 45 Minute Warning Before Bombs, Runs Out Of Ammo Against ISIS TargetsBy Brandon Turbeville Thus, when Russian forces truly hit at one of the sources of ISIS funding the captured oil being shipped from Syria and Iraq to Turkey where it is purchased by Turkish Prime Minister Erdogans son, Bilal the United States must then engage in its own faux bombing campaign against ISIS oil trucks. Yet, instead of actually bombing the trucks drivers and all and putting them out of commission permanently, the U.S. bombing campaign takes the form of a laughable formality that involves a 45-minute warning to the oil convoys that a U.S. bombing campaign is about to take place. The warning involves an airdrop of leaflets to the tankers that read Get out of your trucks now, and run away from them. Warning: air strikes are coming. Oil trucks will be destroyed. Get away from your oil trucks immediately. Do not risk your life. The justification is that the drivers of the tankers might be civilians and not actual ISIS members. Of course, there is no mention of the fact that, in any other context, an individual who renders material support to terrorists, particularly in the form of driving tankers of stolen oil in a war zone that will be used to fund the terrorist organization would killed without question under that designation. There is also no mention as to why these potential civilians received ample warning but true civilians receive no such courtesy. It is truly a pity that the U.S. did not drop leaflets to the million Iraqis it has killed over the last decade or the thousands of Libyans that died at the hands of NATO. Still, one need only look at the numbers of destroyed oil tankers racked up by the U.S. in comparison to the Russians to see a distinct difference. The United States, according to Col. Steve Warren, has taken out only 116 tankers since the bombing campaign began while the Russians have eliminated over 1,000 in five days. Remember, until the Russians began bombing the oil tankers, the United States had yet to launch an attack on them. Even more laughable was the response that came when the U.S. military was questioned as to why they were unable to destroy more trucks than they did after such a highly publicized strategy. According to Army Co. Steve Warren, the American jets simply ran out of ammo in the process. The goal was to destroy every truck there. They ran out of ammunition before they were able to do that. But the desire was to destroy every single truck there, he said. Even with the new attempt to be seen as truly aimed at fighting ISIS in the eyes of the gullible American public, the U.S. has been forced to use videos and photographs from Russian bombings to purvey across the mainstream media due to the fact that American strikes on ISIS oil trucks are so rare. The pathetic propaganda fail by the United States military now stands as yet one more example of how the United States is not at all interested in defeating ISIS but instead on defeating Assad, Iran, and the Russians. Indeed, American foreign policy propaganda would be greeted as much needed comic relief if it were not so tragic and potentially dangerous to the rest of the world.

Aiding and abetting the terrorist enemy. Treason in the first degree. Let us impeach Obama and prosecute Erdogan. Many Americans cheer Russia destroying ISIS..Obama, not so much Washington is sending troupes into Syria. They will be bombed and Russia will be blamed to cause the next false flag! Unfortunately the WW III How can we fight the enemy when obama is giving them warnings. obama is defeating us not the enemy. When is congress do the right thing for the american people. Dont say The United States- THIS IS OBAMINATIONS DOING. Kerry Good plan, then go after Saudi Arabia (ISIS incubator). Also deport all political Islamists from the USA. Then impeach Obama for treason. Godspeed to patriots. Zer0bamas $chlock und EU ! The definition of ISIS : US (CIA) and the rest of the burning Bush PNAC Attackers (especially, Billary)!! Obama just HAS to be impeached! 
1	News that a fiery bus crash on Interstate 79 had killed 32 passengers was greeted with cheers and sighs of relief Friday, as West Virginia's 1.8 million residents gave thanks that their fellow citizens had perished in a catastrophe not involving a mine-shaft collapse, a mine explosion, or any other subterranean disaster. 'This truly is a bright new beginning for our state,' Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin said at a ceremony honoring the state's largest non-mining-related loss of life in a generation. 'Today, we can all be proud to call ourselves West Virginians.' A coroner's report later confirmed that 29 of the dead were miners returning home from work.

'Ignore the hype about overdogs and underdogsthese are two very good teams, and we won't know which team will absolutely crush the other until halfway through the first quarter,' said Sports Illustrated's Peter King. 'Sunday's Super Bowl might be the most well-balanced one-sided game since the great Montana-Elway matchups.' The betting lines as of press time still had Pittsburgh as a two-point favorite, though with an over/under of 34. 
2	Amazing Supermarket Incident In Canada, Muslim Woman Put Right In Her Place [VIDEO] There have been rumors this incident between a Muslim woman in a Burkha and a supermarket cashier for some time now, but the story is just too good not to tell. According to reports, the woman was standing with her shopping cart at checkout. When she reached the cashier, she noticed that she was wearing a Canadian Flag lapel pin on her blouse. The Muslim woman quickly asked about it. Yes, I always wear it proudly, the cashier answered. My son serves abroad with the forces and I wear it for him. The Muslim woman then asked the woman when her family was going to stop bombing and killing her countrymen in Iraq. Luckily, and elderly gentleman overheard the conversation and delivered this dead-on speech to the Muslim woman. Excuse me, he started, but hundreds of thousands of Canadian men and women, just like this ladys son have fought and sacrificed their lives so that people just like YOU can stand here in Canada, which is MY country, and allow you to blatantly accuse an innocent check-out cashier of bombing your countrymen. It is my belief that if you were allowed to be as outspoken as that in Iraq, which you claim to be your country, then we wouldnt need to be fighting here today. Howevernow that you have learned how to speak out and criticize the Canadian people who have afforded you the protection of my country, I will gladly pay the cost of a ticket to help you pay your way back to Iraq. When you get there, and if you manage to survive being as outspoken as you are here in Canada, then you should be able to help straighten out the mess which your Iraqi countrymen have got you into the first place, which appears to be the reason that you have come to my country. What do you think of this mans speech? 
1	HOUSTONIn spite of experiences he has had with T.G.I. Friday's in the past, Nate Greisberg has decided to give the popular restaurant a final chance, the 29-year-old told reporters Monday. Greisberg, who has committed to at least one more visit to this restaurant. 'Well, okay,' Greisberg said, after his friend Tom Hazen asked him to dinner at one of 526 T.G.I. Friday's nationwide. 'I'll give Friday's one last shot. But if they screw up this time, it's over. I really mean it, Tom. You can only be let down so many times before you say, 'Enough is enough.'' Greisberg estimates that he has dined at T.G.I. Friday's between 10 and 15 times, adding that almost every visit has been disappointing. While he acknowledged that the food is 'sometimes pretty good,' he dubbed the restaurant's atmosphere 'irritating.' 'It's always something,' Greisberg said, sighing heavily. 'Sometimes, the waitress rubs me the wrong way. Then another time, the service is great, but I'm stuck next to a table full of frat guys. I'd never choose the place if I was picking. I'd either go to the diner near my house or Applebee's.' Greisberg's worst experiences with the restaurant have included sitting near a bachelorette party, and waiting more than an hour for his food during a dinner rush. In spite of such incidents, Greisberg said he tries to keep an open mind when friends tell him they like T.G.I. Friday's. 'This girl I work with says she likes Friday's because it's so horrible it's funny,' Greisberg said. 'I can't really understand that. It's not the best place in the world, but it's not the worst. It's just kind of there. And besides, who wants a funny restaurant?' After almost refusing to eat at T.G.I. Friday's, Greisberg changed his mind when he remembered an ad he'd seen for the restaurant's Jack Daniel's Shrimp special. 'I decided the shrimp might not be the worst thing in the world,' Greisberg said. 'I told Tom I'd go, but I said,'If I wait an hour for a cold appetizer, only to have my dinner come out a minute later, that's absolutely it.'' 'Tom seemed blown away by that,' Greisberg added. 'T.G.I. Friday's is one of his favorite places to eat.' Greisberg admitted that he once had a good time at a T.G.I. Friday's, while visiting friends in Seattle. But he qualified his praise, saying that the restaurant itself had little to do with his enjoyment. 'When you're hanging out with John [Pilmeyer] and Tim [Gracowski], you're going to have a wild time,' Greisberg said. 'We were already drunk, so we decided to go to Friday's and get some Sesame Jack Chicken Strips and some Loaded Potato Skins. We ate, had a few pitchers, and got out of there.' Other members of Greisberg's peer group have reservations about T.G.I. Friday's, as well. 'Our friend Dave [Hildebrand] can't stand the stuff they have on the walls,' Greisberg said. 'If someone suggests Friday's, he tries to turn the group in favor of Olive Garden. I think a part of me wants to join him... If tonight doesn't go well, I just might do that.' Greisberg said the ultimatum does not extend to the T.G.I. Friday's bar area. 'This is just about the dining area,' Greisberg said. 'I have no problem with the bar. The drinks are reasonable, and sometimes there are hot women there. As long as we don't stay there all night, I'll do the bar.' Greisberg said he's not looking for a 'mind-blowing' dining experience, but that he simply wants a normal evening out with no surprises. 'All I want is for my food to be good and on time,' Greisberg said. 'I'd also like for there to be no screw-up with the bill and for Tom and me to be able to hear each other talk. If those conditions are met, I will eat at T.G.I. Friday's another day. If they are not, what can I say?' Hazen said he's confident that Greisberg won't see the ultimatum through. 'Nate's always saying stupid shit like this,' Hazen said. 'I remember when he said he wouldn't waste money on another stadium concert, because he hates the crowds. But then, when a bunch of us said we were going to see Prince this summer, he was the first to buy tickets.' 'Well, Friday's is where we hang out,' Hazen added. 'He's going to have a much lighter social calendar if he refuses to come with. I would recommend that he think his decision through very seriously.' 
1	Arriving from around the world for a three-day political summit, the highest-ranking government officials from over 190 nations have gathered in Zurich this week for direct talks on how fucking incredible it is to run a country. The annual international forum, which is attended by presidents, prime ministers, and various other heads of state from global superpowers as well as emerging countries, is expected to address such longstanding points of discussion as how unbelievably awesome it is to control an entire nations political system, command its military, and directly influence the lives of every single person within its borders. While those of us gathered in this room may have differences in our politics and our ideologies, there is one thing that unites every one of us: We are each the single most influential, valuable, and powerful person in countries composed of millions of people, and that is fucking amazing, said U.S. president Barack Obama in the summits opening keynote address. Every single thing we dosimply because of who we areis very, very important. Honest to God, I could stand up here and recite a string of random numbers for two hours if I wanted and it would be front-page news. Everything Im saying right now is going to be all over magazines and the internet, andheres whats really insanepeople will actually read every last word of it and analyze it. And best of all, nobody can tell us what to donobody. Just think for a second about how goddamn incredible that is. I mean, holy shit, Obama continued. We can do anything. Fucking anything. According to sources in attendance, the conference began with a roundtable discussion regarding how awesome it is to go on national television at a moments notice while hundreds of journalists from their countrys most prominent media outlets clamor to hear them speak and ask them questions. Several breakout sessions were reportedly held later in the day during which Western and Asian leaders debated a variety of topics, including having schools, libraries, and airports named after them; getting to look at top-secret documents every morning; seeing their pictures in the newspaper all the time; and having the power to declare full-scale wars on other countrieseach of which was confirmed by officials to totally kick ass. Sources revealed that a subcommittee of G8 nations then engaged in high-level talks until the early hours of the morning, ultimately issuing a joint statement affirming the stance that its totally mind-blowing to possess nuclear launch codes and to be no shit, one phone call away from dropping an actual atomic bomb. Each of the attendees has been highly pleased with the talks thus far, said summit aide Zachary Bellion, adding that there was unanimous agreement on a proposal requiring all world leaders to take a few moments every day to consider just how unbelievable it is to have famous actors portray their lives in television shows and movies. Perhaps the most emotional moment came when Ecuadorian president Rafael Correa rose to speak. He delivered an impassioned address in which he stressed that, despite leading a relatively small nation, he still has an around-the-clock security staff whose job entails taking a bullet for him if necessary, which he said is pretty much the most badass thing ever. His words brought the entire assembly to its feet in raucous applause. It was incredibly moving. Despite a largely cordial atmosphere, several points of contention have reportedly arisen throughout the conference, most notably when various heads of the European Union disagreed with Chinese president Xi Jinpings assertion that the coolest aspect of running a country is having a 20-vehicle motorcade wherever you go. European officials were reportedly adamant that being saluted by military officers on the tarmac while stepping off a private jet is way fucking coolerwith German chancellor Angela Merkel in particular steadfastly refusing to concede the pointwhich led to a brief diplomatic impasse. Tensions are said to have quickly dissipated, however, after leaders voted on the question of how much it rules to be flown to places like Zurich and stay in the nicest hotels for free while spending time with other incredibly powerful world leaders, with a final vote of 192 to 0 determining that it rules so freaking hard. The assembly also reportedly reached an overwhelming consensus on the position that, after running a country, going back to not running a country at some point would really, really fucking suck. The summit has been very successful in bringing leaders together to find common ground that we can all unequivocally agree on, Russian president Vladimir Putin told reporters after closed-door talks with U.K. prime minister David Cameron over how cool as shit it is to know that they both will be written about in history books and encyclopedias for hundreds of years to come. Like the rest of the attendees here, I can declare a national state of emergency and have tanks on the streets in a matter of hours. I can spend taxpayer money on whatever the hell I want. Hell, I can make tomorrow Vladimir Putin Day if I really feel like it. Being in charge of a country is the fucking best, added Putin, smiling. And I plan on doing it for a long, long time. 
1	According to John Swink's friends, family, coworkers, and casual acquaintances, as well as a growing number of local waiters and waitresses, the formerly obese history teacher takes every opportunity to show just how dramatic his recent weight loss has been by smiling broadly and holding his old 52-inch-waist jeans next to his fit and trim new body. 'He likes to get inside his old pants and turn to the side,' Swink's mechanic, Greg Forrester, told reporters Tuesday, describing Swink's effort to clearly illustrate how much space now exists between the front of his old pants and his stomach. 'At least that's what he did when he brought his car into the shop, when he saw my wife and kids at the supermarket the other day, and when he stood up in the middle of the varsity baseball game last weekend.' Students of Swink's said he has recently begun teaching lessons from behind the giant cardboard cutout of his old 315-pound self that he carries around with him everywhere he goes. 
1	A Chili's waitress identified only as 'Karen' made a six-person lunch party uncomfortable Monday when she didn't write down their orders. 'We ordered a heck of a lot of stuff,' diner Dennis Bernardo told his dining companions. 'You think she'll actually remember the 'no olives' in Bob's Greek salad? And my request for marinara sauce instead of alfredo on my pasta? I'm sure she knows what she's doing, but I still kinda wish she'd written it down.' Fellow diner Sandi Slocum said she was going to add a Coke to her order just as the waitress was leaving, but opted not to for fear of 'complicating things.' 
2	Ted Nugent Announces Controversial Plan To Deal With Terrorism... Liberals Outraged Conservative activist Ted Nugent is once again stirring up controversy after comments he made following the terrorist attacks in France last week. According to reports, Nugent claims that the only way to stop the spread of Muslim extremism is to do stop attempting to be politically correct, and to start to kill the Muslim Third Reich. Of course, Nugents comparisons to Hitler were not well-received by everyone. Nugent went on to explain that political correctness has done more harm than good. Radical Islam is a global cancer, Nugent claimed. Shariah law should be seen as the hate speech that it is. Its very essence is a criminal act of sedition, advocating the overthrowing of the U.S. government, punishable by hanging. It must be dealt with now, not tomorrow or next week, or surely this religious cancer will consumer the host and darkness will indeed cover he Earth. Nugent went on to express his beliefs that the best course of action for us to take is to kill em all and let Satan sort them out. What do you think of Nugents comments? 
3	Doomed Planet For A Failed Species? Fukushimas Tragic Nuclear ConsequencesRichard Wilcox In wildness is the preservation of the world. Henry David Thoreau The earth is what we all have in common. Wendell Berry Weve arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces. Carl Sagan The issue of the environment can be viewed through a fascinating variety of historical and philosophical lenses (1; 2; 3; 4; 5). We, the failed species, find ourselves on the verge of transhumanist transcendence, or, on the skids toward extinction on an eroded and polluted planet (6; 7). Without a biodiverse ecology, there is no economy. Dont try to kill Mother Nature, she will sneeze at you, wait a few million years and then go on to something else. The amount of highly radioactive waste from global nuclear power production increases every day. The monetary cost of storing or disposing of it (probably eventually just dumping it back into the environment when no one is looking), is skyrocketing. As yet, there is no safe storage method that is tried and true. Although dry cask storage is much safer than open fuel pools, it is an interim and not long term storage solution (8). Considering the high cost and danger of storing nuclear waste for thousands of years, why dont we just switch to a non-nuclear energy economy today? But there may be hope. The Technopians have informed us that nuclear waste containers could be easily and safely transported up the Space Elevator to a suitable point and then launched from there towards the sun with an absolute minimum risk to life and the environment on Earth (9). A seemingly insurmountable problem easily solved. If the Space Elevator idea goes as well as nuclear energy, then well no longer have to worry about a radioactively contaminated future. Thank the Technopians. An Experiment Gone Awry selfnews Post, an informative journal which is concerned with disturbing social trends, recently featured an author who presciently and saliently observes that: Whether it is nuclear power generation or nuclear detonation, all nuclear industry is experimental . Will top management of utility companies people whose focus seldom reaches beyond the balance sheets of current quarter and perhaps one subsequent quarter exercise an appropriate level of control on wastes that will be dangerously radioactive for dozens of thousands of years? . The time, energy and resources that have been invested into nuclear experimentation are likely incalculable. It is an industry of inhuman lies and practices, one which voids all consideration of clean air, clean water and healthy food. Where humanity would be today without nuclear experimentation is impossible to say, but without it surely the planet would be less toxic and polluted. I submit thatif it were not for nuclear experimentation humanity could already have free, or for all extents and purposes endless and harmless, power sources . It is obvious that the oligarchical collectivism of the nuclear experimentation industry has indirectly eliminated alternative power systems to the extraction of and concoction of dangerous minerals. It has done so simply through its existence as well as through diabolical influence and outright subversion of systems less oligarchical . The biggest issue on the Earth is that of nuclear experimentation. Stop nuclear experimentation, for the children (10). While progress to create stability at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Station (FNPS) can be said to be occurring, in some technical aspects, it is so slow that in reality it can also be said to be deteriorating. We are in the nuclear experimentation netherworld. During his current visit to Japan, nuclear expert, Arnie Gundersen met with Japanese parliamentarians and gave a lecture to concerned citizens in Tokyo (11). During his lecture he confirmed that he has seen no interest on the part of Tepco or NISA about getting other experts involved in the process of helping to shore up the FNPS. When Gundersen spoke with Tepco he suggested they use lighter casks for the Unit 4 fuel pool because they would be better for moving the nuclear fuel rods. Tepco dismissed this because like all nuclear operators, they dont want to spend the money. Worst of all, Gundersen reported that: If an earthquake damages the pool and the water drains out, its less than a day before the fire begins. Which is why when I asked Tepco have you prepositioned chemicals on-site in the event you were to lose water, and to hear they had not even considered prepositioning chemicals was frankly appalling. This level of arrogance is typical of the nuclear establishment which shrugs its shoulders and walks away every time they mess things up. Gundersen was also recently interviewed by the intrepid Helen Caldicott, medical doctor and long time anti-nuclear campaigner (12). The entire interview is highly recommended listening, not only for its incredible technical information, but also to enjoy the brilliance and humor of two of our most venerable activists. Where are the leagues of other nuclear engineers speaking out with such expertise? There are not many. Gundersen has intimate knowledge of what is happening at the FNPS and one wonders how he gets his information. Other than that in the public domain are there at least some concerned officials feeding him data? Gundersen tends to speak conservatively and there is certainly room for other interpretations of the situation. He may be sugar-coating the truth at times, but I think he rarely or never exaggerates the dangers. These are main points summarized from Gundersen and Caldicotts conversation: A Special Warm Place The other day I went to a going away (escape) party for some friends. I met a young Japanese oceanographer I know. He is very well educated and I asked him about living in Fukushima; he agreed it is dangerous. His area of study is not related to radiation in the ocean, but he is familiar with the governments monitoring of radiation in fish. Strangely, he did not know difference between external and internal radiation and discounted the danger of tainted food, believing small amounts are not harmful. Maybe so (I hope so too). I also asked him why the Japanese government doesnt get help to deal with Fukushima from other countries like the US. After all, the US militarily occupies Japan! He replied with a laugh that Tepco and the J Gov are probably too ashamed to ask for help. Ashamed? So we have to sacrifice the worlds ecosystems in order to restore Japanese Pride? Yoichi Shimatsu, a man of sharp wit and former editor of the Japan Times Weekly, sardonically informed me about the absurdity of the Fukushima Folly: The Japanese have a penchant for misinterpreting, falsifying and mythologizing history, while confusing all that is good for bad and vice versa. Within a decade, you will be seeing NHK TV dramas about the stoic patriotic Tepco executives, under the strategic leadership of Heroic Leader Shimizu, who defied the panicked liberal government, bravely fought the mob violence by the anti-nuclear traitors, rescued Japans nuclear industry and finally, after heroic self-sacrifice, created the Japanese A-bomb just in time to avert a foreign invasion from Red China and United Korea. We are so grateful to TEPCO! In Japan, shrines are erected for mass murderers while the humanitarian heroes who saved the country from itself are relegated to the footnotes or treated as ill-mannered scoundrels. Evil has a special warm place in the Japanese heart. 1. Donald Worster, Natures Economy (Cambridge Univ. Press, 1977, 505 pgs.) 2.

3	How the World Almost Ended in the Fall of 1983By Joshua Krause It all started on September 1st, 1983, when a Soviet interceptor shot down Korean Airlines Flight 007, which killed an American Congressman on board. Diplomatic relations took a turn for the worse between the two nations, and the Soviet military became more paranoid than they had ever been before. These tensions were largely responsible for the atmosphere of tension that almost caused a nuclear war three weeks later. This incident became rather well known after the end of the Cold War, when it was revealed that a single officer with the Soviet Air Defense Forces prevented World War Three. A signal from a faulty detection system told the officer that the US had just launched a preemptive strike and, fortunately for the human race, he chose to ignore it. However, that wasnt the only close call from that time period. In November of that year, the United States started a massive military training exercise in Europe that was code-named Able Archer 83. The ten-day exercise involved 19,000 US troops from across the world and multiple NATO nations. The point of the exercise was to train our forces on how to transition from a conventional war to a nuclear war, should they ever have to fight the Soviets. Now for the first time, declassified documents have been published by the National Security Archive (a non-government non-profit) which reveal that this training exercise nearly sparked World War Three. According to the documents, the Soviets were already freaking out about the possibility of a preemptive strike by the US, after 600 Pershing missiles were fielded by NATO. It started out a mere theory, but eventually became conventional wisdom among KGB officials. Everyone believed that our government was preparing to destroy them without cause. These fears were escalated by the shortcomings of their own defenses, which were falling behind Americas highly capable nuclear arsenal. They came to the conclusion that any first strike against them would completely obliterate their defenses, and leave them with nothing to retaliate with. So once Able Archer began, they were already on a hair-trigger. Given the scale and the purpose of the operation (which was to train for a nuclear war) the Soviets were convinced that the whole training exercise was a ruse; an attempt to get our forces fully mobilized without raising any alarms. We were essentially simulating the worst fears of the Soviet intelligence community. Warsaw Pact militaries responded by pulling nukes from storage and sending them to delivery sites, as well as suspending most routine military flights so that these aircraft would be available for combat. Despite these actions, the United States was completely clueless. Nobody in the chain of command, including the President, had any idea that the Soviets were losing their minds over our actions. In fact, the military was aware that the Soviets were on a higher state of alert, but didnt think anything of it. No changes were made to our defense posture. Our military completely dropped the ball and, ultimately, thats what prevented war from breaking out. Since our military never thought anything was amiss, they never escalated a situation that they were completely unaware of. The training exercise came and went without anyone going to war. So in a nutshell, our lack of knowledge led us to conduct a training exercise that almost provoked a nuclear war, and our lack of awareness prevented that war from occurring. It is by nothing less than dumb luck that we are still breathing today. Hopefully, the United States and Russia will look back on this incident and remember how close we came to the brink, before they conduct any more of their provocative training exercises in Eastern Europe.

You can follow Joshuas reports at Facebook or on his personal Twitter. Joshuas website is Strange Danger . There are endless layers of deception in geopolitics and a tremendous amount of compartmentalization in the military making it nearly impossible to know what the game is at the top of the pyramid. Case in point is the Cuban missile crisis that was seemingly poised to also become a large conflict. Yet, behind the curtain the US plutocracy had been funding, supporting, and transferring technology to the Bolsheviks and later the Soviets to later include Kissinger as Nixons National Security Adviser transferring sophisticated missile technology to the Soviets. The Soviet leadership knew very well that the public political posturing in the US against the communist threat was a show of layered deceptions, a wink and nod system of grand geopolitical theater, which must have been the reason the Soviets publicly backed down in the Cuban crisis while, behind the scenes, a quid pro quo swap took place whereby NATO missiles were moved away from USSR borders in exchange for the scraping of the Cuban missile program. Isnt it an interesting coincidence that Trilateralist Kissinger has been a long time friend and close adviser to Putin? The NWO elites dont leave anything to chance, control is always paramount to all other considerations. WW3 is the final war against our minds and fear based control is their main tool. While I mostly agree with you, putting the Bolsheviks into power was NOT about communism, but rather about installing a form of government that was bound to pit Russia against most of the world. The elite sensed the growing power of Russia. In effect, they hung an albatross around Russias neck. As far as the shootdown of KAL007 (007, get it?), the U.S. had two, and possibly three radar planes flying in formation with KAL007 in a manner that returned a single radar blip with KAL007. When Russia took the bait and launched interceptors, the radar planes ducked under radar range. The Soviets saw only the airliner from that point on. They got bamboozled. The KAL plane was similarly bamboozled they could paint the radar planes with their radar, but failed to recognize the setup. The Soviets did NOT shoot the plane down, but fired at one of the military decoys, which introduced false targets. The KAL plane was forced down to a military base on Sakhalin Island. History loses the occupants at this time. GA representative Lanny McDonald, a passenger and rising honest conservative, was lost forever to Cold War machinations. There was probably a prisoner exchange, but McDonald was left to rot in Soviet custody. I agree with your albatross comment. I didnt specify the aim of TPTB supporting the Bolsheviks other than to later infer regardless of what construct they have their hands on, its always about control. Suttons assessment of the elites controlling Russia to keep it from becoming an economic competitor (socialism destroying innovation) and to steer it into a totalitarian entity to later merge with the west is probably consistent with your view. Always multidimensional agendas including a nemesis to rationalize the military industrial complex and social control. I assume you know Congressman McDonald was very vocal and articulate about the Trilateral Commission and the western elites in general working steadily towards shifting the US to the left in preparation for a World Government system they were engineering. By all appearances McDonald was assassinated in the takedown of KAL007. Who knew what of the plot is something well likely never know. More compartmentalization. BTW, theres a terrific clip on youtube of McDonald outing the Trilateralists and globalists on the old television program Crossfire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puNCkwjuxJ0 Yes. I do know.

2	BREAKING: John Kerry To Face Life In Prison According to new reports, Secretary of State John Kerry has participated in putting together an international aid package for Hamas. The $5 billion in aid comes from taxpayer dollars, and will supposedly go towards the reconstruction of Gaze. Out of this conference must come not just money but a renewed commitment from everybody to work for peace that meets the aspirations of all, for Israelis, for Palestinians, for all people of this region, Kerry said at a meeting in Cairo. And I promise you full commitment of President Obama, myself, and the United States to try to do that. Make no mistake: What was compelling about a two-state solution a year ago is even more compelling today. Although Kerry is attempting to tie his actions about with a bow, giving money to Hamas is essentially akin to aiding and abetting terrorists. The group has used previous aid from our country to purchase weapons, and construct the tunnels used to attack Israel. What do you think? Should John Kerry be arrested for using your tax dollars on a package for known terrorists? 
3	A Tale of Two Countries: One Survives and One Will NotDave Hodges Nations are like people, they have a character, a personality and a persona. They either have resilience and can bounce back from adversity, or they do not. They either have courage, or they cower in the corner because they are weak and timid in the face of danger. And like with the two men, when countries face the same challenges, one country may thrive and the other country takes a dive. This article is the story of a tale of two countries. One has stared into the belly of the beast and has survived. The other country is in the process of being devoured by the same beast, but is totally unaware of the ultimate and fatal fate that awaits most of its anesthetized citizens who are drunk and distracted on TV, video games, drugs, consumerism, etc. Who Am I? This country was on the brink of economic Armageddon and the government, on behalf of the banksters who had hijacked the government, attempted to steal everything they could before they purposely were going to collapse the system. Goldman Sachs and Wall Street were the central players behind the threat. Yet, the brave and intelligent people of this country found a way to not be taken down by the most corrupt and evil forces on the planet, namely the Wall Street bankers. This country has taken corrective measures, in the face of overwhelming adversity and prosperity is returning this to its citizens. In other words, these may be the only people on the face of the earth who have successfully stared down the globalists and are defeating them. This country has tremendous national character and resolve. Who am I? If you think it is the United States, put your hands down, your answer is incorrect. The answer is Iceland. America is ready to enter into the economic disaster zone. Iceland has already been there and their journey was inspired and controlled by Goldman Sachs and fellow Wall Street banksters. Icelands journey down the path to economic Armageddon actually began in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when Icelands Prime Minister David Oddsson, began to do the bidding of Wall Street bankers and instituted a set of Reagan-style policies and privatization. According to author, Roger Boyes, as he documents the worlds descent into economic tyranny in his best-selling book, Meltdown Iceland, the fix was in and Wall Street began to financially obliterate Iceland after plundering its hard assets. Under the globalists from Wall Street, the banking sector grew rapidly, propelled by borrowed money. Icelanders could access credit easily in just the same manner as pre-2008 crash America. Iceland had its own devastating housing bubble as housing prices escalated exponentially and consumption skyrocketed. In order to attract international currency investments, Iceland raised its interest rates to 15% and the same devastating consequences which befell America were visited upon Iceland. In 2003-2004, prices on the Iceland stock market increased 900% before crashing. America, are you nervous yet? Icelands bubble was no different than any other economic bubble. By 2006, what I call the heroin effect kicked in and the average Icelander was 300% wealthier than in 2003, but hopelessly in debt. Iceland was experiencing a 1929 pre-crash America as well as the symptoms of our impending crash in 2013. The citizens were seduced by easy money and acted as if they were addicted to heroin. Meanwhile, the government, banking and corporate debt grew out of control until the time to pay up finally arrived. By 2008 Icelands banks collapsed, it was time for Icelanders to pay for their extravagant ways and 50,000 of its peoples savings were wiped out. Keep in mind that Iceland only has a population of 300,000. If those same numbers were to be visited upon America, we would be looking 50 million Americans having their savings wiped out. Let me ask the same question that I always ask at this point. Do you now understand why DHS has purchased 2.2 billion rounds of ammunition to go with 2700 armored personnel carriers? The problem for Icelanders became far worse as by 2009, 25% of homeowners went into mortgage default. Please allow me to ask another rhetorical question, do you now see why the Federal Reserve is buying $40 billion dollars in mortgage backed securities each and every month beginning in September of 2012? People of America, can you spell f-e-u-d-a-l-i-s-m? Iceland Has More Than Just Snow Balls From where I sit, the people of Iceland have more courage in their little finger than America has in its entire being. Icelands financial failure forced its government to resign or be removed, and it also caused citizens to re-evaluate the merits of their reckless spending, borrowing and consumption. Just how did Iceland do it? Icelands President Olafur Ragnar Grimmson was interviewed earlier this year at the World Economic Forum in Davos on why Iceland has enjoyed such a strong recovery after its complete financial collapse in 2008, while the rest of the West is still mired in debt, poverty and hopelessness to go with empty promises of an economic recovery. When asked whether Icelands policy of letting the banks fail would have worked in the rest of Europe, Grimsson stated: Why are the banks considered to be the holy churches of the modern economy? Why are private banks not like airlines and telecommunication companies and allowed to go bankrupt if they have been run in an irresponsible way? The theory that you have to bail-out banks is a theory that you allow bankers enjoy for their own profit their success, and then let ordinary people bear their failure through taxes and austerity. The entire three-minute interview of President Grimmson is listed below: Imagine that, let the banks fail! Let the criminal bankers take the same risk as any other business venture. Can we imagine Obama ever speaking this way in public? And nearly five years later, where is Iceland at today? They have jailed the criminal bankers within their country. If they could get their hands on Goldman Sachs officials they would. They impeached and convicted corrupt politicians who were in league with Wall Street, many of whom are serving prison sentences. Iceland is on its way to a full economic recovery while still saying no to the corrupt Goldman Sachs influences in Europe. Iceland is saying no to the Bank of International Settlements. Iceland is a beacon of hope for the rest of the G20 nations including the United States. Do you remember the former Secretary of Treasury and former Goldman Sachs head, a total criminal, Hank Paulson, who threatened Congress with martial law if Congress did not hand over the nations money, both present and future, to Wall Street? Damage Control Analysis Both countries, faced economic ruin. However, only one country has prevailed. Going on five years after the Wall Street bailouts, where is America at today? Well, we are nowhere near where Iceland is at today. Lets look at a few numbers. Under the Obama administration, the national debt has doubled as it races by the $17 trillion mark. It would now take a whopping $150,000+ per taxpayer to cover the debt. In a moment the $17 trillion dollar debt will seem like a bargain for what lies ahead. Under Obama, taxpayers are covering $2 billion dollars per day in jobless benefits and other forms of welfare and that number is escalating dramatically. The Big Three in health care coverage, Medicare, Medicaid and Obamacare, are adding $1 trillion dollars per year to the deficit. Social Security is adding $1 trillion dollars per year to the deficit. It should become clear why Obamacare has a set of eugenics-based treatment exclusions which will significantly lower the Social Security deficit due to the planned kill of the elderly in this country. The elective wars of occupation are costing the country $700 billion per year. And the debt interest is presently at $1 billion dollars per day. Federal pensions are on the verge of breaking the system. The Civil Service Retirement System has once again accounted for the majority of that unfunded liability. The Civil Service Retirement System debt grew from $634 billion dollars in fiscal year, 2010 to over $741 billion dollars in fiscal year 2011, according to the Office of Personnel Managements Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund. Not to worry, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew is robbing Peter to pay Paul, as he is raiding Federal retirement programs to cover the failure of not increasing the debt ceiling. Lew announced that the government was taking the unprecedented action of avoiding governmental default through this summer by including tapping into and suspending investments into the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund and halting the daily reinvestment of the government securities (G) fund, the most stable offering in the Thrift Savings Plans portfolio. This is all being done as we continue to fund the bailouts. How much of the bailout money has Goldman Sachs paid back? Treasury Secretary Jack Lew is one of the criminal rat pack that have destroyed this country and now Obama has put him in charge of the Treasury Department. As I previously reported, while Lew was employed at Citigroup, he oversaw 113 tax evading accounts in Cayman Island banks. Based uponLews resume, his proclivity for losing money, (i.e. the hedge funds for Citigroup where he lost almost $600 million dollars), one can only assume that is why Obama has appointed Lew to finish the job which will leave you and I with nothing. In Iceland, they imprisoned their bums. In the corrupt, criminal empire of America, these gangsters get promoted. Now For the Really Big Numbers It is a fact that our governments Social Security liability will soon be as big as the national debt. The present unfunded liability of Social Security is presently $8.6 trillion, but that is deceptive because the shortfall quickly balloons to $20.5 trillion. The unfunded prescription Medicare liability for seniors is $24.8 trillion dollars. Zero Hedge places the Medicare debt at $99 trillion dollars. The unfunded drug liability for seniors is $24.1 trillion dollars. It is very easy to understand why Lew is going after federal retirements. The Federal Employees Retirement System is reporting a $20.1 billion unfunded liability. Even more telling is our gross debt-to-GDP figures. The ratio is a staggering 143%. If you thought that $17 trillion dollars in debt was horrific in 2013, wait until 2015 when the amount is predicted to approach 25 trillion in total US national debt. And the numbers get even more frightening. The total US Unfunded Liabilities are estimated at $144 trillion, roughly $1.2 million per taxpayer. To summarize, the average net assets for an average U.S. citizen are $300,000. The net liability of the U.S. government, shared among its citizens, amounts to almost four times that amount or about $1.2 million per person. And the governments debt is growing at $1 million every 45 seconds. To cover its annual deficit, it is printing $1 trillion a year of currency that is not backed by any asset except the Petrodollar and that practice is being threatened by China, Russia and India buying Iranian oil in gold. Coupled with that, former World Bank insider, Karen Hudes, speaks to the fact that the World Bank is jeopardizing the American economy by repeated violations of the law. I will be covering these events in the next article in this series, and will be sharing with the reading public on how the World Bank is threatening to bring down the American economy like a house of cards. I am also interviewing Ms. Hudes on my talk show on June 2nd and will further explore these events in detail. Is It Too Late? The key to getting the right answer is to ask the right questions. It is not so much a case of it being too late. It is more a case of character, discipline and knowledge. As I have said before, Iceland knows how the world of economics works; Americans know how American Idol works. In other words, I see nothing in our country, at the present moment, which is suggestive of the fact that we have the collective knowledge to understand what is happening to us, so we can accept the sacrifices which would be needed to make a corrective course change as they did in Iceland. I see nothing in our country which is suggestive of the fact that we have the discipline that Icelanders demonstrated in order to pay the price to overcome the banksters and the economic woes that would follow their demise. After all, we have nearly $1 trillionin credit card debt. So much for American discipline. And as far as character goes, American TV, in prime time, is an abomination in the eyes of God with regard to hedonistic sexual practices implied or demonstrated on TV. America, through its media has embraced every form of perversion known to man. I see nothing in our collective character which suggests that we can duplicate the Icelanders. When the economic poop hits the proverbial fan, Americans, out of options, out of food, out of any life-sustaining resources, will take to the streets and be met by whom? They will be met by (come on say it with me now) DHS and their 2.2 billion rounds of ammunition and 2700 armored personnel carriers. We could do what Iceland did, but we will not. However, there a few things that one can do to have a softer landing after the globalists complete the job of stealing your stocks, your 401Ks, your pensions and your bank accounts.

WASHINGTON, DCWith 2005 drawing to a close, the White House held a special ceremony in the East Room Saturday to commemorate its fifth year without any sort of oral-genital contact within its historic confines. 'This administration has upheld its promise to restore dignity to the White House,' President Bush said. 'I can assure that no oneincluding myself, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, 'Scooter' Libby, or Condi Ricehas been the recipient, or provider, of the kind of unnatural, depraved, and frankly gross sexual act that, not too long ago, disgraced this office in the eyes of the world.'

2	Donald Trump Releases Heartbreaking Announcement About The Ceremony According to reports, Donald Trump has had such a difficult time finding celebrities to perform at his inauguration, he might have to move forward with a ceremony that is completely void of any A-list performers. Amid pressure from the liberal industry, many performers have had to pass on the opportunity for fear of risking their careers. According to The Wrap, Trump is so angry that his team has been unable to compile a list that he has ordered a shakeup of his recruiters. Mark Burnett, the producer of Celebrity Apprentice, has hired Suzanne Bender to end the freeze-out. She has formerly worked with shows like Dancing With The Stars and American Idol. Its coming directly from the principal, he added, referring to Trump. The source came forward to combat TMZs report that Trump is hardly engaged in the party planning at all. So far, the only person confirmed to perform at the event is 16-year-old Jackie Evancho, a former finalist on Americas Got Talent. The list of performers who have rejected offers to perform at the inauguration includes Elton John, country singer Garth Brooks (rumored) and opera star Andrea Bocelli.

3	Top 9 Real Reasons To Go To War in SyriaJon Rappoport One: Give the appearance of unifying the country behind the President, who did his job the right way, by going to Congress for approval. This elevates Obamas ratings and, by inference, suggests that his other programs should be accorded more merit. A wartime president always gains more support. Two: Give the people an adrenaline rush. The effect should never be underestimated. Cleanses the pores, cleans the slate, and relieves frustration by proxy, temporarilyif you have very little access to your cerebral functions. Three: In this case, winning Congressional approval reinstates the illusion, for a few moments, that we are a Constitutional Republic, with a government dedicated to justice. Four: Help fulfill the long-planned US-Israeli agenda of destabilizing Syria and causing it to partition into warring and chaotic ethnic factions. Five: Stop the construction of a natural gas pipeline across Syria, which would boost Irans economy by sending Iranian gas to Europe. Irans economy must be torpedoed. Six: Send a message throughout the Middle East that the US is all-powerful and the dollar must remain the reserve currency in all oil transactions. Eight: Aid the long-term goal of Globalism/Free Trade, which involves putting the entire Middle East into unresolvable debt and sufferingand then coming in with outside elite bankster financing, to rebuild the entire region and own it, lock, stock, and barrel. Nine: Distract Americans from a number of scandals, including: Benghazi, FastFurious, IRS non-profit division crimes, NSA spying, the continuing failed war in Afghanistan, and a tanking domestic economy with more and more people living below the poverty line. None of these reasons has anything to do with punishing Assad for using chemical weapons. In any case, that whole scenario has been thrown into extreme doubt. Your government at work.

According to reports, the woman was simply watching cartoons with her daughter, when the man kicked through a dead-bolted door and attacked her. The entire incident was caught on nanny cam, and showed each blow. The man even decided to throw the woman down a flight of stairs. Throughout the entire attack, her daughter sat terrified on the couch. I knew that if I started screaming, my daughter would too, and I was afraid she would get hurt, the mother told local reporters after the incident. I took it. I didnt cry the entire time. They need to help us get him off the street. Hes not just a burglar, hes violent. The woman suffered a concussion and several leg and face injuries. Fortunately, her 3-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son were not harmed. The burglar left the house only with some jewelry. In hopes of catching the violent intruder, the woman and her husband has asked that the video be released to the public. What do you think this mans punishment should be? 
3	NASA Takes Chemtrail Spraying Program to Outer SpaceBy Terrence Newton Interesting enough, but during the test they released a number of vapor clouds into the atmosphere, releasing a mixture of chemicals that are well-known to those who are closely examining the growing problem of geoengineering and chemtrails. The skies over this area were alight in strange celestial clouds colorized by high-altitude discharges of barium and strontium. From NASA: During the test of the deployment system for the vapor clouds, four sub-payloads with mixtures of barium and strontium will be ejected from the main payload and the vapor will be deployed while the payload is descending. The test also will include the release of vapor from two systems on the main payload during the descent portion of the flight. The ejected sub-payloads will release the vapor at about 130 miles above the Earth. The main payload releases will occur at an altitude around 118 miles. The barium-strontium mixture produces a cloud with a mixture of blue-green and red color. The blue-green part is neutral, i.e. not charged. Strontium is used to enhance the visibility of the neutral flow. [1] Barium and strontium, along with aluminum, are the 3 of the most commonly used chemical agents in atmospheric geoengineering projects, which have been used by the US government in weather modification projects since the 1950s. READ:Aluminum, Barium Strontium: the New Manhattan Chemtrail Project This recent experiment proves once againthat NASA and the US governments do in fact use atmospheric spraying of toxic chemicals for various research and experimentation purposes, although who really knows what theyre up to? Take a look at this breakdown of the events by Dahboo7: Recently, other mysterious anomalies have been occurring in the skies around the planet including giant twin beamsof light emanating from the earth. Additionally, a recent NASA feed of the ISS (International Space Station) was cut short when two massive pillars of light were seen, apparently directed toward the planet from the ISS. If youre not convinced that the government and their corporate partners are dumping toxic chemicals on us from above and using the planet and its inhabitants as guinea pigs to experiment on, then take a look at some of the present research into the matter, including this Congressional statement by Dr. Rosalind Peterson. The mainstream media is dongeverything it can to ridicule and discreditindependent researchers like Dane Wigington of GeongineeringWatch.org, who is publicly linking the California drought and the massive die-off of trees and plants to chemtrail and geoengineering programs. Behind the scenes, though, the government continues to spend our money on secretive projects and experimental technologies, and the health of our environment is degrading rapidly.

3	Limited Engagement? White House Just Expanded the Syrian Target ListMelissa Melton CBS reported on the broadening of the upcoming U.S. military campaign in Syria just this morning: The Pentagon has expanded the list of potential targets for a U.S. military strike on Syria, based on intelligence indicating that the Assad regime has moved around equipment used to deploy chemical weapons in anticipation of a potential attack. A Pentagon official insisted to CBS News correspondent David Martin that the scope of the operation has not changed, which President Obama has described as limited and tailored. Many people are concerned that Obamas enthusiasm with regard to attacking Syria is a replay of the George W. Bush White Houses WMD lies that got America mired in the most recent Iraq War a war that former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan later admitted was largely about oil and which left over a million Iraqis and thousands of U.S. troops dead. Meaningful evidence that Bashar al-Assads regime is responsible for a chemical attack on Syrian civilians has not been produced; instead, evidence has surfaced that the U.S.-backed Syrian rebels committed the attack. Russia actually released a 100-page report back in July blaming the rebels for another chemical attack against Syrians earlier this year. There were no calls for the U.S. to intervene then. That same month, Obama reaffirmed his commitment to the rebels in a phone call to Saudi Arabias King Abdullah as U.S. arms shipments bound for rebel hands were stalled in Washington. As commander in chief, I always preserve the right and the responsibility to act on behalf of Americas national security. I do not believe that I was required to take this to Congress, Obama said in a press conference Wednesday. Although Obama claims striking Syria is in the interest of U.S. national security, it would seem more likely to undermine it. Iran has already threatened to retaliate against Israel and other Western targets if and when the U.S. bombs Syria. Both Russia and China have said there will be catastrophic consequences for any U.S. military action in Syria. It certainly cannot be argued that Syria poses any kind of imminent threat to the U.S., something that candidate Obama once emphasized was necessary for U.S. military intervention back in 2007: The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation. Hes certainly singing a different tune now. Even though this action is wildly unpopular with an overwhelming majority of Americans against striking Syria, a House Democratic aide told Politico: At the end of the day, a lot of these Democrats are going to be with the president because the choice is to vote against [the Syria intervention] and turn the president into a lame duck and destroy his credibility, or swallow it and vote for something that youre not wild about. When youre faced with that kind of decision, most of these fence-sitters are going to come aboard. The president has already lost credibility by claiming a military intervention in Syria will be tailored and limited, then before Congress even has a chance to actually vote, he has already broadened the limits of the supposed limited strike. But is the presidents credibility really the most important issue at this point when World War III is at stake? Obama has already lost all credibility on the national stage with regard to abusing executive power (read: Fast and Furious scandal, Benghazi cover-up, IRS targeting conservative groups and the absurd justification for the sweeping NSA big brother spynet just to name a few). When it comes to lost credibility, the presidents Syrian warmongering is the political equivalent to beating a horse thats been dead for a long, long time.

1	All of us who have the privilege of working in the Dome deal with the stress in different ways, some more destructive than others -- exercise, drugs, fast cars. Alex collects dirty playing cards and Wellsy locks herself in her dressing room and refuses to answer the door for me, even when I just want to chat and I bring her food from the cafeteria. The high-pressure atmosphere at OSN can sometimes lead us into making mistakes. I'll be honest, on Monday night, I stayed up late playing Civ V, and was so focused on holding off Montezuma's Aztec hordes so I could finish building the Hagia Sophia (I only go for Cultural Victories) that I didn't notice 18 hours had passed. The absolute last thing I wanted was for my grogginess to impede your Dome, so once I got on set, I looked for an easy answer and fell into the cold, carbonated arms of Bull's Milk Energy Drink. I would be lying if I said this was my first dance with the Bull's horns. When Deadly Chemistry landed a prime 4:30 AM time slot at the Greater Providence Music Festival, I chugged a Bull's Milk or two to keep my energy up and impress the handful of fans who were there to rock all night long -- even the ones who left early when our rhythm synth player's backup laptop started making horrible screeching noises. But even though it made me cranky and I chewed out the sound guy even when it wasn't his fault, I fooled myself into thinking the Bull's Milk wasn't to blame. Tuesday night, I lost sight of who I was and became merely an extension of those slender aluminum cans and the lukewarm neon blue liquid inside. In short, there is no longer any hiding from the fact that I have a problem with Bull's Milk. It has been a long, hard recovery so far, and it will likely only become more difficult in the weeks and months to come. This is the second and hopefully last time I ever have to get my stomach pumped, after the time I actually drank the kerosene out of a lamp when I was seven. Sitting in my hospital bed, reviewing the tapes of Tuesday night's show, I was shocked at the taurine-fueled monster I had become. Most shameful of all, Alex told me that I made my good friend and partner-in-Dome Melissa Wells uncomfortable with several rambling, awkward exchanges. That is completely out of character, and it shocked me more than anything else. Domers, I know it will take more than an eloquent apology to win back your trust. i just hope you can hold me in your hearts as I struggle with the scourge of Bull's Milk dependence and that, one day, the Dome will be a safe place for all of us again.

She Never Wanted This To Get Out During the Democratic National Convention this year, Michelle Obama delivered a speech claiming that America was already a great nation. She also implied that we need to keep anyone who thinks otherwise out of the White House. Thats ironic, given that video footage has recently surfaced of a speech Michelle delivered during her husbands 2008 presidential campaign. For the first time in my adult lifetime, Im really proud of my country, Michelle says in the footage. It should be noted that Michelle was 44 at the time, and had more than two decades of adulthood under her belt. Sorry Michelle, were not buying your patriotism. 
2	ALERT: ISIS Has A Plan To Kill 90% Of All Americans By 2016, Heres How They Are Going To Do It In his last year of presidency, Barack Obama is proving that he is virtually clueless when it comes to foreign relations and the true threats that our country is facing. In his refusal to face the facts when it comes to ISIS, he is putting our country at risk. Those who are planning to attack our country are starting to use our own resources against us. According to Peter Vincent Pry, a member of the Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Commission and executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security claims he knows what could really take our country down. An EMP is a short burst of energy that will virtually fry any and all electronics, and we are at risk for an event. And that means that 90% of Americas population could be wiped out in one fell swoop. Pry calls a nuclear EMP attack an existential threat that could kill 9-of-10 Americans through starvation, disease and societal collapse. What do you think? Does Obama need to stand up and protect our country or hand the White House over to someone who will? 
3	Your Credit Score or a Life without DebtBy Susan Boskey Why dont they tell you? From global to national to local, all money is derived from a debt-based monetary system and is, itself, a debt instrument (read: Federal Reserve Note on a dollar bill). Most financial planners are well-meaning but have not been educated on these facts and, therefore, cannot advise you accordingly. The untold truth about money is what any online inflation calculator can tell you; $1.00 is now worth less than .o4 cents and keeps losing value due to how the system works. What this means to you is that the cost of living has skyrocketed and outpaces earning. Credit rushes in to fill the gap and you are the one stuck with the bill. Knowledge of this, alone, should be enough to give people pause regarding how they manage their finances; but it appears not to be the case. To choose a life without debt is to think outside the box. It requires proactive strategies that go against the economic grain of a debt-based society. That said, a life without debt and how to accomplish it is well-worth consideration. Growing up in the 50s and 60s, when the dollar was worth more, my parents paid cash for everything and did not own a credit card. Paying for large purchases on lay-away plan was still very common then, and for those too young to know what that is: We would make no-interest payments (at least monthly) for our purchase that the store would keep until the final payment. Receiving the purchase on that last day of payment was oh so exciting! Also considered horribly old-school today is how my mother managed the family budget. She housed several recycled baby food jars in her desk. Each jar lid had a label on it for: vacations, mortgage payments, school clothes, groceries, utilities, etc. and she would add money to them each pay period. Thats how they stayed out of debt. My point? Due to the continual loss of moneys purchasing power, it becomes ever more difficult to live without credit, but those who are self-directed still can. When the multiple personal costs of accruing debt are considered (health, marriage and family issues), the alternative starts to look pretty good. Of course, like anything else, there are trade-offs. Some of the upsides of using credit, albeit a card or any interest-bearing loan: Some of the downsides: Some of the upsides when you pay-as-you-go: Some of the downsides when you pay-as-you-go: Remember that credit use is a choice you make and is not inevitable if you are willing to think creatively and make the trade-offs necessary to live a life without debt. Susan Boskey is author of the book, The Quality Life Plan: 7 Steps to Uncommon Financial Security. This book not only exposes the bottom-line of why more and more families need credit each month just to make ends meet, but also provides practical and transformational strategies, tactics and templates. By their use, you can reverse the downward trend of credit and debt while learning how to establish a long-term, debt-free lifestyle; one allowing you to genuinely build wealth despite the challenges of todays economic environment. To learn more or to purchase the book, visit her website at http://TheQualityLifePlan.com Most people dont have the passion to learn about money. They want to go to school, learn a profession, have fun at their work, and earn lots of money. One day they wake up with big money problems, and then they cant stop working. Thats the price of only knowing how to work for money instead of studying how to have money work for you. Sounds like todays American political process, most people get up thinking Democrat and Republican and before long, they are screwed. Everyone in this Rat Race is screwd ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQnZO8-s8T0 K Mart still does lay-aways so its still possible to do them. And a small business can usually be talked into doing them. America is the only country that requires you to throw yourself into debt to prove that you can manage your debt. Totally absurd. I cut my credit cards up 30 years ago. I have no debt. My home is fully paid for as is everything else, cars, motorcycles, etc. Its really not hard. Hello susan , True without credit score or a life without debt is hell.Great points you discussedThanks for sharing valuable thoughts with us.. 
1	Quarterback Brett Favre responded Saturday to the question of whether or not he had any football left in him by announcing that he would return for at least one more season at a major college program. 'I'd like to win one more championship before I retire for good, and Southern Miss, Tennessee, and Florida all have talented young squads that could make a real run to number one next year,' said Favre, who has been recruited by several top programs but will wait until after Signing Day to commit to a school. 'I know I still have a ways to go with my decision-making, but I know I'd be the kind of quarterback that could grow along with a program.' Although scouts from several Division I teams are interested in Favre, they noted that he played an option scheme in high school and seemed noncommittal about maintaining the required 2.25 GPA. 
3	Propagandist Robert Ford Goes For Round Two With Syria Researcher Vanessa Beeley ... And Loses!By Brandon Turbeville Beeley published that conversation in her article, Disseminating Fake Information: Conversations With State Department Propagandist Robert S. Ford, Former U.S. Ambassador To Syria, and it can also be viewed in my own article Syria Researcher Destroys Former U.S. Ambassador And Terrorist Supporter Robert Ford On Twitter. After this correspondence was published by Beeley, Ford was apparently ready for Round Two and, after expressing his dissatisfaction at having the previous correspondence published, began to engage her in yet another debate surrounding the nature of the Syrian rebellion and the true perpetrator of the atrocities witnessed in Syria today. Below is a sampling of that discourse as posted by Vanessa Beeley in her article Moderate death squads: Conversations with former US ambassador to Syria, Robert Ford. Fords credentials as a fomenter of sectarian division and facilitator of regime change forces inside target nations goes way back and is well documented. When this was mentioned during a twitter exchange, Ford took umbrage and engaged me, again, on private message. Ford was keen to refute the accusations levied against him and his former colleague, John Negroponte. Negroponte is notorious for his Salvador Option, the creation of death squads in Honduras to assassinate resistance to the US supported regime. Ford and Negroponte worked side by side in Iraq. Ford was Political Counsellor during Negropontes tenure as US Ambassador to Iraq 2004/5. During this time there is significant evidence of the death squad blueprint being re-deployed in order to suppress, torture and massacre opponents of the US regime change operations. Whilst Ford challenged me to find evidence to support these accusations, I do feel there is a mountain of extremely well researched analysis available to verify his nefarious role in opposition make-overs to suggest it was no coincidence that he was posted to Damascus in 2011 as the rumblings of popular dissent started to creep into the Western media headlines. Therefore, currently, I am only publishing the conversation relevant to Syria. The following is the conversation that ensued: FORD: Vanessa, since you like to publish our correspondence (Ill ignore your ethical violations in publishing something without warning me in advance last time), please publish this as well: these accusations {referring to the Iraq death squads} are totally false. Reports dont even get my title right from 2004 2006 when I was the political counsellor which is not the #2 in an embassy. BEELEY: My ethical violations? I dont even know where to begin with the US violations and yours as their representative. You publish on a public forum, you know the risks as we all do. Those accusations are not only made by one or two media outlets. They are widely available on the web, if you like I can compile a list for you. FORD: One person exchanging messages with another via social media doesnt relieve the author of an article from the ethical requirement as an author of informing the other person in the exchange that the author is going to publish. New York Times, Washington Post, European Press, Foreign Policy blogs, etc all operate that way. I will give you credit for publishing my remarks in full. I wont give you credit for telling me in advance that you were going to publish them. Oh, and 2 other things: if Bashar Jaaferi is your idea of a real diplomat, then I just want to ask if you think it ok that he denied that there was any starvation in Syria As for the number of people in the 2 towns [Kafarya Foua], I used UN figures. If the chief surgeon has better numbers, well, that may be true but who is he, exactly, where does he work, how would he have access to figures (does he count the 23,000 individuals personally or does he get his figures from a third source) and how reliable is he ? UN isnt perfect but it works through networks on the ground in Syria. BEELEY: Ambassador Al Jaafari made it quite clear to the UN that in reality, the US regime change coalition, comprising US NATO GCC Israel are besieging 23 million people in Syria. It is your hell hounds that you are responsible for unleashing upon the Syrian people who are wreaking bloodshed and devastation among the Syrian people. The Chief Surgeon is in Kafarya and Foua, he is responsible for the care and health of ALL civilians in both villages and his family has lived there for generations. Frankly I would put greater faith in his information than any of your already monumentally discredited information sources that we know to be regime change partisans cultivated by the US and your allies. Why is it so easy for me to get hold of accurate information and yet the UN fails to do so time and time again. Why could the UN have tea with Ahrar al Sham terrorists in Madaya yet claim they are fearful to pass the AS checkpoints leading into Kafarya and Foua. Double standards. Today, civilian homes were shelled in Kafarya and Foua, so your moderate rebels have never respected any semblance of a ceasefire. Why are Kafarya and Foua never reported upon? Why are their lives worth less than those that serve your propaganda? Had you been listening, Dr Al Jaafari went on to explain that there are 2 categories of Terrorist siege. 1. Where the terrorists surround a town or village and cut off supply while bombarding civilians with lethal hell cannon. 2. Where terrorists are occupying a town or area and stockpiling food and humanitarian supplies, deliberately starving civilians either for propaganda purposes or to punish them for their loyalty to Syria, the Syrian Arab Army and their elected government. FORD: You didnt answer my question about the Chief Surgeon. How do we know his data is more accurate than the UNs ? On what grounds ? UN collects requests for food packets/medicine for the number of people. As for shelling, I have long denounced shelling of any civilians (which, by the way, you have not yet). I was not aware there is a ceasefire at Kafarya and Foua ? Is there a ceasefire at Madaya ? Daraya ? I dont have a list of ceasefires in force do you ? If so, Id like to see it, and yes, that is a genuine question. Yes, armed opposition and Al Nusra terrorists have blocked aid access at Kafraya and Fuaa, and they also blocked access to Zahra Nubl (although latter 2 still had access through Afrin). These all were illegal but Syrian government is doing exactly the same, and on larger scale by far, according to UN and international aid organizations on the ground. If Syrian opposition calls the UN a regime apologist, well, the Syrian opposition doesnt think of the UN the same way that you do. I wont excuse fighters deliberately starving people in districts under siege (and Ive seen accusations that they do but no evidence). In any case, it still wouldnt excuse the Syrian government from blocking aid access, per international humanitarian law and UN Security Council resolutions. Jaaferi denying that there was starvation in besieged towns shows his governments lack of credibility. BEELEY: If you have what is equivalent to the Mayor of a community would you not expect them to have the most up to date figures. Considering the UN abject failure to enter Kafarya and Foua during the siege they cannot be considered a reliable data bank either on civilian numbers or on the situation in these villages. I can direct you to 2 excellent articles written by Eva Bartlett who has been to Syria on numerous occasions: They are worth reading as they will give a far more comprehensive view of the appalling conditions being endured by Kafarya and Foua, that is never covered by mainstream media. Untold Suffering in Foua and Kafarya: Two Northwestern Syrian Villages Under Siege and Assault by NATOs Terrorists You talk about the Syrian government [nice to see the government legitimized] not allowing humanitarian aid through into terrorist occupied areas. Why then, did the Red Cross Spokesperson make a very clear public statement early January, clearly saying that they have NO problem entering Syrian Government held areas to distribute humanitarian aid with the obvious exception of Deir Ezzor. Contrarily they are NEVER able to enter terrorist held areas in order to deliver aid, food and medical supplies. Dr Al Jaafari made the very clear claim that the UN had, itself, delayed delivery of aid to Madaya due to logistical problems. As I have said before, Dr Al Jaafari did not deny there was starvation in Syria, he made the very salient point that the starvation is a result of crippling sanctions imposed by the US coalition, the infrastructure destruction carried out by the US coalition bombing raids that successfully wiped out water plants, power plants and other essential civilian infrastructure thus exacerbating the misery of the Syrian people as you have done previously in Libya and Iraq. Dr Al Jaafari mentioned the cynical banditry of Turkey who have dismantled 1441 factories in Aleppo and transported them to Turkey, here is a quote from an Aleppo citizen detailing this theft and the debilitating effect it had upon the Syrian people: My brother saw his once rich and wealthy friend selling small items [plastics, gums, ..etc] on the street in front of a mosque, and he didnt believe it. The friend told him that he lost everything, and he has a family to feed and needs to put food on the table. Turkey dismantled and stole his factory. His land has been burned, his properties have been either damaged or stolen, and he was bankrupt in no time at all. Each day, there is new story, real tragedies, that reach my ears and heart. All of a sudden, everything ended and peoples worlds collapsed around them. One $8 million factory was dismantled and stolen by Turkey. The owner had a stroke and died because of such losses. Aleppos industry has been torn apart and stolen by Turkey. ~ Aleppo, a City Ravaged by Islamic State Imperialism None of this is accounted for and none of this is recognised as a violation of Syrias sovereignty, as it should be under your much cited International Law. So where is the duplicity in Dr Al Jaafaris statement? My response regarding the denouncement of the shelling of citizens. I have never ceased denouncing the shelling of civilians across Syria by your moderate rebels who liberally rain death down upon the Syrian people with their crude, indiscriminate and lethal hell cannon, mortars and rockets. Again I can send you a plethora of reports from Syrian civilians in Homs, Aleppo, Damascus and throughout Syria describing the horror of mortar and rocket attacks from US alliance armed, funded and supported terror factions inside Syria. Then lets talk about the suicide bombers that have claimed the lives of thousands in Syria. I decry the shelling of civilians in Gaza, Yemen, Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, anywhere in the world, either by the US directly or indirectly via your weapon supply to illegal and despotic, barbaric colonizing states that use these weapons to carry out the wholesale slaughter of the besieged nations of Yemen and Palestine. The US and the UN endorses the blockade and crippling siege of Yemen and of Gaza and yet you have the hypocrisy to accuse the Syrian Government of besieging its own people. Let me ask you something, if the US were to be invaded by armed mercenaries intent upon beheading, raping, crucifying massacring the American people and if those mercenaries were cultivated, armed and trained by hostile states to enforce regime change against the will of the American people, would your government roll over and pack their bags in case civilians got caught in the crossfire? Or would they deem this invasion a blatant violation of International law and a threat to national security? Would those rebels be described as citizens of the US or would they be nominated terrorists, armed militants threatening the homeland? If those terrorists were to occupy US cities and towns, what would be the military solution? To lay siege to the towns and cities and try to flush out the terrorist nests embedded in civilian areas or to do as the US did in Fallujah, Iraq in 2004 and obliterate them, carpet bomb them regardless of civilian casualties, collateral damage as they are so often described by Congress. Until this discourse can be entered into with intellectual honesty and diplomatic transparency we are on a hiding to nothing and the bloodshed will continue. US exceptionalism has grown to mean utter lawlessness under not only International law but equally under moral and humanitarian law. By flooding Syria with terrorists, arms, cash, special- forces, by backing armed insurgents and bombing Syria as the US and its Coalition have they are in violation of every single International Law designed with the Nuremberg Principles in mind. Whosoever supports such a course of action as the US-NATO-GCC-Israeli Axis is doing presently, is simply contributing to the ultimate demise of the UN, as it was with the League of Nations in WWII. FORD: First, if you really care about Syrian civilians you will denounce the atrocities committed on all sides, not just those by the rebels. Just look at the difference between conditions in west Aleppo and east Aleppo why is the latter so much more heavily damaged and depopulated ? The scale of crimes is not the same. Second, Im still waiting for you to cite independent sources not connected to the Syrian or Russian governments. For example, Syrian Ambassador Jaaferi saying logistical problems hindered deliveries is quite different and misleading from what the UN or the NGOs operating on the ground said. They say access blocked, not logistical obstacles. Please consider the independence and credibility of your sources. If you think I was paid a salary by a government to spout a line, dont you think Jaaferi is as well? Third, you raise a question worthy of debate about American exceptionalism; your points about Iraqi civilians suffering are not all wrong. The exceptionalism argument truly does merit discussion. but to focus on America solely, without your recognizing that the Syrians and Russians operating in Syria over the past months and years have been committing atrocities, and on a wider scale, than lightly armed rebels (few tanks, no helicopters, no jet bombers, no SCUD missiles) undermines the credibility of those raising questions about American exceptionalism. BEELEY: Really struggling to respond to your message as you seem to have returned back to default propaganda position. Let us take Aleppo first. Aleppo is overrun with Al Nusra and Ahrar al Sham who have embedded themselves in civilian areas throughout Aleppo, actually reducing the city down to one fifth of its original size. The SAA are besieged in the centre of the old Citadel on the Acropolis Hill. The civilians of Aleppo are traditionally pro- Syrian Government and resisted all attempts to force them to join the pseudo US engineered revolution. Aleppo is the industrial hub of Syria, hence its importance as a rebel gain, including factories capable of producing chemical weapons, in particular chlorine. However, its not just a terrorist gain is it? NATO ally Turkey, terror conduit extraordinaire, is enjoying its perks of the war on Syria. 1441 factories stolen from Aleppo, you have adroitly failed to address that point of course. If the US cares so much about the Syrian people why did you bomb the Aleppo thermal power plant in Nov/Dec 2015 ensuring further misery for the Syrian people already living under occupation from your death squads who routinely execute civilians whom they deem to be apostates, with the White Helmets on hand to dispose of the bodies, many of which were flung into the River Queik successfully poisoning water supply for the Syrian people who resisted the Al Nusra occupation and remained loyal to their Government and their people. I have no idea how you delineate between East and West. ISIS is more to the North and East of Aleppo. Aleppo itself, as I have mentioned is swarming with Al Nusra, accompanied by your poster boys, the White Helmets who spew the propaganda that serves the US alliance regime change agenda. I have been told of the Al Nusra aka Al Qaeda tactics to drive people out of their homes, defecating on the floors, burning furniture, intimidation. These same Al Nusra mercenaries who have decimated Aleppo with their Hell Cannon and mortar fire. The same Al Nusra mercenaries who have dug tunnels under the ancient Citadel and then detonated them under ancient heritage buildings in an attempt to get to the SAA marooned on the Acropolis hill, tactics repeated across Syria with no regard for civilian life. The same Al Nusra mercenaries who have systematically maimed, wounded, starved and terrorized the people of Aleppo not only Aleppo. These are your moderate rebels that you are defending while they tear the fabric of Syrian society apart. Consider my sources?! You do not have one source on the ground in Syria that is not funded directly or indirectly by the US or UK government and you talk to me of independent sources!? The big difference is that the US is a hostile nation violating every aspect of International Law by enabling, arming and funding a proxy army comprising of 90% non-Syrian mercenaries that is invading and destroying an independent sovereign nation. The US may have outsourced its murderers and assassins as has been CIA practice for decades but nobody is buying it any more. The US its allies are the instigators and perpetrators of the crimes against the people of Syria. Syria is resisting your attempts of a hostile takeover and under your beloved international law their right to do so is unquestionable. The Syrian government represents the majority of the Syrian people and as such their reports are far more representative of reality on the ground in Syria than your fifth columnists embedded with terrorists under whichever brand name they have affiliated themselves to. So I put the question back to you. Find me one single independent source that is not working to promote the US alliance agenda. Personally I prefer to listen to the Syrian people but I understand from your standpoint that would utterly undermine the illusions you have been feeding people for the last 5 years. Illusions which are currently melting before your eyes as the SAA and allies advance and destroy your agents assets. I understand that must be very painful for you, to see the plans you worked on for years be destroyed by the Axis of Resistance to US Israeli hegemony in the region. The implications are immense for the US roadmap in the Middle East..that must be a bitter pill for you and Congress to swallow. Finally I come to your preposterous statement of lightly armed rebels. Really here you become a caricature of the double speak and duplicity of the US government. I only have to go to something as mainstream as Wikipedia to demonstrate the ridiculousness of such a statement. In addition to TOW missiles, Hell Cannon, Grad missiles and an assortment of heavy artillery, tanks, missile launchers, they have the chlorine and various chemical weapons ingredients so kindly supplied to them by Turkey, which has been proven. The use of chemical weapons by terrorist gangs has even been accepted by the UN, your chosen bastion of credibility. Remember the heinous truck bombing of Aleppos Al Kindi hospital in December 2013, your moderate rebels had enough explosive for that mass slaughter, never mentioned by your propagandists. Your Frankenstein monster is creating hell on earth for the Syrian people, the least you can do is to take responsibility for it and ask forgiveness for the suffering you have imposed upon them but this will never happen. Instead the Syrian Arab Army and allies will clear up your mess and sweep Syria clean of the cancer you introduced. To even suggest that they should be denied the right to do that, is criminal. Finally, you said, If you think I was paid a salary by a government to spout a line, dont you think Jaaferi is as well? Fortunately not every world government adheres to the pitiful White House standards of dishonesty, deceit and hypocrisy nor should they be judged by those who uphold none of the guiding principles laid down by their founding fathers and instead do all in their power to desecrate all that is decent and humane in this world. So Ford wanted a second Round with Beeley and was dealt with in much the same manner as he was in the first. His blatantly false propaganda against the Syrian government and his obfuscation of facts on the ground were clearly brought out in front of all and demolished in the full light of day. Fords faux outrage at the deaths of Syrian civilians must be taken with a grain of salt. Ford knows full well that these numbers are overwhelmingly Syrian soldiers and civilians killed by his terrorist pets. Ford knows full well that the Free Syrian Army and Ahrar al-Sham are extremists bent on establishing a caliphate in the Middle East and implementing a nightmare scenario on the civilians unable to escape their wretched religious state. Ford knows all of this because he was one of the principal worker bees who helped create the situation on the ground. Ford may cry his crocodile tears for the loss of innocent Syrians if he wants but the jig is still up. He may launch propaganda assaults against the Syrian people and those who oppose the imperialist aims of the Anglo-Americans every chance he gets but the blood of 250,000 people from every side is so thick on his hands it will never wash off. When the conflict in Syria is over, Ford must be held accountable along with the other architects of the al-Qaeda invasion. Until then, we might be tempted to settle for his silence. If his second round with Vanessa Beeley is anything to go by, however, he may learn to be silent soon enough since both debates have left his propaganda torn to shreds and left rotting for all to see.

3	Google Patents Creepy New Toys That Spy on Your Kids, Control Smart Devices in Your HomeBy Melissa Dykes Now the megacorporation has patented a fun new toy that comes complete with hidden microphones and cameras, spies on your childs activities and conversations, responds to his or her social cues, and can control smart devices in your home. Yay! The patent abstract says: Lets see hidden microphones, hidden cameras, facial and voice recognition, motion detection the only thing missing from this toy is an iris scanner and a DNA reader. (Of course, thats probably coming soon enough) No need to worry about police state spying when youre busy teaching your child how to spy on himself in about ten different ways. The word anthropomorphic used so many times in conjunction withsmart devices that interact with your children (with or without their knowledge) based on social cues and then command things in your home is pretty high on the creep scale, and thats before Google is even factored into it. But even this isnt the creepiest part. The creepiest part is the drawings included in the patent. Considering the goal these days appears to be absolute technocratic control cradle-to-grave, this makes total (but horrifying) sense (On a side note, ever feel like you were born in the wrong time period?)

1	As the cost of rocket fuel soared to $630 per gallon Monday, Middle Easterners who depend on the non-renewable propellant to power 10-kilogram rockets have been forced to severely restrict their daily bombing routines, bringing this latest round of fighting to an unexpected halt. Frustrated Hezbollah fighters face astronomical rocket-fuel prices at the pump. 'The way things are going, I wont have any money left over for other necessities, such as anti-aircraft missiles, land mines, and machine guns,' said Hezbollah guerrilla Mahmoud Hamoui, who is just one of hundreds of Islamic militants compelled to scale back their killing until rocket-fuel prices return to their pre-2006 levels. Regions in southern Lebanon and northern Israel, once bursting with the sounds of exploding rockets and air attacks, now lay eerily silent. Even the Gaza Strip, another scene of turmoil, is enduring an unsettling calm. Since the start of this year, the average Palestinian and Lebanese militants rocket-fuel consumption has surged from three gallons to 22 gallons per weeksecond only to Cape Canaveral, FL in propellant consumption. Experts have warned for months that factors including Hezbollahs insatiable demand for larger rockets, the increased dependence on gas-guzzling car bombs, and the war in the Middle East would all drive up demand for rocket fuel while putting a severe strain on its supply. However, most ignored the threat, finding it difficult to change their way of life. 'I admit I had grown accustomed to waking up every morning, driving my multiple-rocket-launcher to the launching site, and firing one unguided Katyusha rocket after another, even when it wasnt absolutely necessary,' Lebanese militia member Omar Cheaib said. 'But at these prices, I cant even afford short-range launches over the border. I dont know what to do with myself.' Added Cheaib: 'I only hope our leaders do something soon to get life back to normal.' The shortage has also resulted in long lines at military fuel dumps, frustrating citizens trying to purchase as much rocket fuel as they can before prices climb even higher. At a Hezbollah installation outside Sidon, dozens of guerrillas slowly rolled Katyusha rockets in the direction of a holding tank containing the precious propellant. 'I waited for two hours to fill up my Qassam-2 rocket yesterday, and I could only afford half a tank,' said Hezbollah militant Amin Hammoud, who admitted to siphoning fuel from other rockets in his neighborhood. 'Do you know how fast a Qassam-2 burns through half a tank of rocket fuel? Even if I launched it from An Naqurah, it still wouldnt make the trip to Nahariyya.' 'Its sad, but the only thing thats blowing up right now is prices,' Hammoud added. The increase in fuel costs has even prompted the much more powerful Israeli military to suspend wider-scale rocket attacks on public places and completely cut out orphanage bombings, relying instead on targeted precision attacks that kill only seven or eight people at a time. Experts said that had Mideast citizens made a more conscious effort to reduce their daily bombings by the recommended 15 percent last year, they would still be able to affordably wage war today. 'A helpful list of rocket-fuel-conservation tips was issued by the Lebanese government in early June, but it was virtually ignored,' Beirut Arab University environmental studies Professor Farid Issa said. 'It suggested taking public transportation to the border to launch missiles, or simply gunning down Israelis with AK-47s. Instead, Hezbollah members chose to fire rockets from the convenience of their own backyards, as if rocket fuel grew on trees.' The unexpected jump in prices has many Islamic militants asking themselves for the first time whether the price they pay for rocket fuel is worth the price further paid by a handful of Zionists. 'The possibility that the world may run out of rocket fuel has left us radicals wondering if our children, or our childrens children, will enjoy the same level of militancy,' said Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who feared that if the crisis continues, it could eventually spell the restoration of Middle Eastern infrastructure and prosperity, renewed relations with neighboring countries, and a 'worst-case-scenario peace gridlock.' 'Now the question becomes: What can we do to prevent this from ever happening?' Nasrallah said. 'None of us want to live in a world in which we have to give up driving Israel into the sea, but we must face reality.' According to reports, Hezbollah is considering investing in an experimental new technology, still in its theoretical stages, that uses the clean-burning, inexpensive, yet highly combustible element hydrogen. 
3	Big Food Employs Cyber Armies to Confront CriticsHeather Callaghan Big food companies enjoy greater sales and popularity using social media. Nestle takes it even further with its state of the art Digital Acceleration Team (DAT). Tasked with listening, engaging, transforming, inspiring, it actually looks more like a brightly lit intelligence base complete with a TV news studio-like room. If Nestle is the number one food company and 12th place in the Reputation Institutes most popular brands, why would it need a special department to oversee all Internet buzz evenreal-timeposted recipes? Nestle is worth $200 billion and has 6,000 brands to protect, many of which are number one in their market A little spare change goes a long way in damage control. And Nestle is still under fire from some ongoing PR nightmares. Reuters clarified last fall that Nestle follows cyber rules and also does not buypopularityor fake profiles through social media sites. It merely monitors and deploys people to respond to negative media. Within minutes, they respond to questions and criticisms all over the Net. In a developing story, however, Nestle was busted for overstepping those bounds when a court fined them around $30,000 (USD) compensation for infiltrating anti-globalization activist group Attac that had campaigned against them. This time they actually hired a third party Swiss group called Securitas AG to infiltrate Attacs meetings. A disappointed Nestle spokesman said, that incitement to infiltration is against Nestls corporate business principles. They were heavily criticized in the documentary Bottle Life because they hold the largest market for environmentally unfriendly bottled water and that the water is basically tap but it can come from companies that drain impoverished towns abroad of their groundwater supplies. Chairman and former CEO Peter Brabeck is careful to counter those criticisms in the Reuters report. Heres the trailer for Bottle Life: Nestles DAT which uses software from Salesforce.com, Inc. also utilized by UPS, Dell, HP, American Red Cross, and Continental Airlines may have formed as a result of Greenpeaces backlash at Nestles use of palm oil. All health arguments aside, some companies clear forests which kill endangered orangutans and displace residents. A Greenpeace video that went viral depicted a bored office worker taking a break with a Kit-Kat bar that actually contained a dead orangutan finger he crunches down and spurts blood everywhere. Nestle promised not to use companies that harmed off-limits environments for their palm oil. A major social media backlash had ensued. Their initial response provoked more anger and was involved in a book about social media gaffes. Now, theyve redoubled their efforts and doubled their social media expenditures. You can see the beginning of that backlash video in this report of Nestles DAT: Another consumer bane: their products are rife withgeneticallymodified ingredients (GMOs) including their infant formulas which also contain synthetic vitamins. They spent $1.3 million against Californias Proposition 37 to label GM foods. Has Nestles DAT paid off in greater profits? Absolutely. Pete Blackshaw, former digital brand manager for Proctor Gamble, understands the power of PR and social media.He says: If there is a negative issue emerging, it turns red when there are a high number of comments it alerts you that you need to engage. They are quite proud of their new, organized technology as you can in the following video where they showcase it for the public: But are they listening, engaging, transforming, inspiring or are they deploying cyber soldiers and infiltrators for fire control after the damage is done? Would their resources not be better spent listening ahead of time and anticipating consumer needs instead of covering the fallout? Reuters also reported that other companies, such as PepsiCo, Danone and Unilever, have exploited the opportunities to promote themselves online. It seems it is a growing trend for controversial companies, especially food companies, to combat negative comments from critics with professional cyber armies.

1	The button-making privileges of Mrs. Orlowski's fourth-grade class were suspended indefinitely Monday, when an estimated 15 students were found to have used the Harrison Elementary School button maker to create 'wholly inappropriate' buttons. A handful of the confiscated buttons sit on Mrs. Orlowski's desk. 'These students were trusted with school equipment, and they betrayed that trust,' said teacher Karen Orlowski, 47, holding a pair of confiscated buttons reading 'Suck My Ass' and 'Farty Fart.' 'I signed this button maker out of the school supply closet so that the students could spend their lunch hour creating fun, colorful buttons for the upcoming student-council elections. Instead, I return to find this.' Continued Orlowski: 'Those buttons were supposed to read 'Robert K. For Treasurer' and 'Danny Carter For V.P.,' not 'Mrs. Yanofsky Has Big Boobies.' Until someone comes forward with the names of all the students involved, I am forced to punish everyone.' At approximately 1 p.m., Orlowski returned from lunch to find students hurriedly gathering the scissors and scraps of paper that littered the floor and collecting buttons in different states of completion. She said she didn't think to inspect the buttons closely until she noticed Lindsay Chao, 10, wearing a button bearing the image of Marie Curie with a beard drawn onto her face. Chao, one of the few students willing to discuss details of the incident, said she and her classmates started out with the best of intentions. 'We were honestly making buttons for the election for, like, a long time,' Chao said, offering up four 'Alyssa 4 Prez!!!' buttons as proof. 'But then, Amanda [Petrakis] made this one that said 'Justin Timberlake 4 President,' and it just sorta went downhill from there.' According to Chao, after the Petrakis breakthrough, the buttons began to escalate in humor value, with each student trying to top the last one. Particularly aggressive in their efforts to push the envelope, Chao said, were the boys. 'The girls were doing a lot of buttons about stuff they liked, like The Backstreet Boys and horses,' Chao said. 'But then the boys started doing all these mean, funny ones, like 'Student Council Sucks' and 'Mr. Cecil Is Gay.' One boy made, like, 10 different buttons calling different people gay.' Fourth-grader Jordy Cohn proudly displays one of his creations. Before long, the slogan-driven buttons deteriorated into more random, visually oriented ones, with students making buttons out of magazine clippings, stickers, and items found around the classroom. One button depicted the hind quarters of a rhinocerosan image cut out of an old issue of Ranger Rick. Another contained a section of a math worksheet, while another contained a piece of lint. 'Nobody meant to do it,' Chao said. 'It's just so fun to pull down the handle and have the button drop out all made. Some kids were making them just to hear the sound.' Orlowski said neither Chao nor any other student has been willing to 'rat out' all of the conspirators. Even students known to have been involved are claiming to have been in the bathroom during the incident. 'From the number of improper buttons madeI've personally seen at least 50this was not limited to the nine kids in detention,' Orlowski said. 'As far as I'm concerned, everyone wearing a button not related to the student-council elections is guilty. From the look of things, that's almost everyone.' Though the students clearly acted improperly, some Harrison staffers are blaming Orlowski, citing her willingness to let the students use school equipment unsupervised. 'I wasn't sure why Karen let those kids use the button maker in the first placeit's not even pep week. But at the time, I didn't think it was my place to say anything,' school secretary Millie Barthes said. 'Well, I'm just thankful the machine came back in one piece.' The button-making machine, a Badge-A-Minit I, is kept in the main-office supply closet and is available for classroom checkout from Barthes. The school purchased the machine 14 years ago for $79, a hefty sum that, according to Barthes, clearly indicates that the machine is not a toy. In May 1987, days after the school's acquisition of the button maker, Barthes made a sign that has remained taped to its base ever since: 'For classroom use only! Do not waste materials! They cost $$!!' According to school principal Dr. Richard Wagner, such incidents have unfortunately made it necessary to keep school equipment under lock and key. Wagner said that every piece of restricted equipment is the result of a specific incident of tomfoolery. 'We have to lock up the balls and playground equipment so they don't end up on the roof,' Wagner said. 'Kids have to go to the janitor to get bathroom supplies or we risk another Jeremy Sachs. He's also why we can no longer use the honor system for extra milk in the lunchroom. Then there's the photocopier. I'll never forget what happened with the photocopier.'

3	Zika Now Suddenly Claimed to Be MORE Dangerous - Microcephaly Not Scary EnoughBy Bernie Suarez During this PR campaign, which is very much still in effect today, ISIS has been portrayed as invincible, untraceable, bullet-proof, airstrikes proof, iron-men fighters that came out of nowhere to inherit the earth. At times theyve even been portrayed as seven-feet-tall men who do what they want and capture it all on camera, outsmarting all global intelligence and surveillance combined, out-gunning their opponents, making Hollywood-style films of their supposed atrocities, recruiting fighters all over the world, launching slave camps, opening their own banks, somehow flying their own planes, even taking full advantage of social media and for good measure showing up at any and all parts of the world with their terrorism just to let you know they can. Does any of this over-the-top ISIS psyop campaign sound familiar? And so it is clear that now Zika virus is the new ISIS of viruses. That is, Zika virus is at it again, gaining strength overnight, magically able to do more things than it ever had in the past far beyond the normal concept of reality, science and evidence-based medicine. In the latest Zika psyop update a study from JAMA Neurology is being used to claim that Zika virus is now more dangerous than we ever thought! I suppose if I were another virus not named Zika by now Id be jealous at how Zika gains recognition and unbelievable ISIS-like damaging effects on humans literally overnight. Damaging effects that violate all the rules of conventional medical evidence-based science when compared to what we already know for sure about Zika virus. So here we go again and I want to show not only the propaganda behind Zika but lets look at HOW the propaganda is perpetuated. As a former Western medical doctor it is clear to me how they are doing it and so I want to share this with readers. First, this entire new claim which seeks to make Zika sound even more dangerous is based on a study signed off on by certain institutes and doctors in Brazil which can all be seen here. This study is based on just eleven (yes, 11!!) fetuses they are claiming had Zika virus in their amniotic fluid. The first thing anyone should be asking is why only eleven? Given that the number of fetuses and babies exposed to Zika virus in Brazil, worldwide and historically probably amounts to millions of babies, almost all of them which went on to be born completely normal, it should strike us as highly suspicious that eleven babies are selected for this so called end-all study whose goal of course is to simply make the authoritative medical claim (without having to show any proof) that now Zika virus is more dangerous and linked to more defects than the initial lies of microcephaly. Its almost like they need to make the virus scarier since they are not getting enough traction from the microcephaly lies of the past year. Before giving this study any thought it must be noted that the few cases of confirmed microcephaly reported in Brazil (which was much less than even the link above claims it is) occurred in areas sprayed with microcephaly causing pesticides (heres the report from Brazilian doctors) and coincidentally where genetically modified mosquitoes were released. This is what you need to know. In Comparison, knowing what we know now, this eleven fetus add-on study is junk science just by virtue of this study not accounting for exposure to pesticides which is a major KNOWN cause of birth defects including microcephaly in newborns. Clearly this is part of the ruling elites ongoing long-term agenda to use the Zika virus to forcibly vaccinate people, forcibly detain people against their will, impose global medical rules, create the continued pretext for spraying even more dangerous and toxic pesticides on the masses (like they have in Florida, South Carolina and other places) against their will and much more. Zika virus (like ISIS) is another gift to the new world order that they will continue to fund and feed into until their lies sink into the consciousness of the masses forcing everyone to give in to the propaganda. Thats what they hope for, at least. Its important to realize that quietly hidden in the microcephaly claims is the notion of so-called consensus science. This is a new form of science in America that allows for almost any claim to be made. Scientific consensus is a very important trick phrase to look out for (see item number 3 here and also outlined below where microcephaly was added to the list of Zika virus pathology where before it wasnt) Key facts Zika virus disease is caused by a virus transmitted primarily by Aedes mosquitoes. No one should be fooled by this clever talk. Even more important to observe here is how the Western medical doctors (as we speak) are being sucked into this new Zika virus psyop paradigm and internalizing it as the new official facts on Zika. They MUST believe this psyop or they will be considered incompetent, potentially face litigation, fail their board exam or much worse (Let that sink in). And this is where the published medical journal study psyop comes into play. Western doctors are trained like robots to believe whatever the latest medical journal (like JAMA Neurology or other journals) tell them is true. The latest Zika psyop lies, of course, are now being published (key word published as opposed to proven) by JAMA Neurology whose study and claims puts the Zika virus congenital defects rate at practically 100%!! This number is totally inconsistent with the established medical science and even TIME reports that the number is closer to 10% in their own reporting of this study and even that is inconsistent with the established medical literature regarding Zika virus up until the recent Zika psychological operation which began the past few years. The study being used by JAMA Neurology has many holes in my opinion. Eleven babies are pre-selected known to have had embryological defect issues which from the beginning are assumed to be caused by Zika virus. These developmental abnormalities are then used as the standard claim of this is what Zika virus does to you. The entire study is then focused on the actual abnormalities without solidifying the evidence-based cause and effect and properly eliminating other potential causes. Read the study for yourself (linked here again) and look for the tunnel vision approach or what some describe as create your pre-conclusion then work your way backwards to fill in the details in order to support your initial assumption. This is not the way science is supposed to work. Notably in the JAMA research paper conclusions section they admit that something else is happening. Notice how they ignore the confirmed use of pesticides in the northeastern region of Brazil where these cases of microcephaly were isolated. Our observations add ZIKV to a list of other pathogens associated with congenital syndromes during pregnancy. However, based on confirmed ZIKV-associated cases of microcephaly reported by the Brazilian Ministry of Health, the northeastern region of Brazil has a 10 times larger incidence of confirmed cases compared with the rest of Brazil as well other Latin American countries where ZIKV circulates. This fact suggests that there must be some additional unknown factor to enhance ZIKV fetal infection in this region. Coinfections as well as environmental factors should be explored to clear this unexpected finding. Ignorance is sometimes an amazing thing to observe. How about the pesticides known to cause birth defects being blasted in that region? Nope, nothing to see here! One major problem is that there is no reasonable working platform for Western doctors to challenge this journals claims, especially at the lower levels of medicine where medical students, residents (especially Internal Medicine doctors) and fellows are training and being told what to believe. A big reason for this is that the powers-that-be often determine who will get the research money and for what specific cause. This is a much greater problem for both Americans and doctors themselves than anyone can imagine, but I digress. These medical journals, which are all controlled by the ruling elite, are at the core of the Western medical psyop using terms like published. When doctors are told that so-and-so journal has published a study on something doctors almost reflexively consider it authentic and legitimate science. Everyone should know that JAMA stands for Journal of American Medical Association and as the name implies all of these journals are owned by the AMA or the American Medical Association. Who is the AMA? Founded in 1847, this organization has been at the heart of the rise of Western medicine in America working closely with the Rockefellers, the Carnegie Foundation, the Ford Foundation and many others to flush out non-allopathic (non-pharmaceutical) based medical practices (See the Flexner report of 1910) and push for studies and research that endorse claims supporting pharmaceutical drug use. Its that simple. They are the official body of this paid-for entity which generates all the studies you need to declare things that only make the pharmaceutical industry lots of money. The pharmaceutical industry in turn gives lots of money to the medical schools and residency programs to push the indoctrination of students and doctors. This is what many call the medical-industrial complex and as you can see its alive and well in this latest JAMA scientific claim about Zika virus. It is up to each and every one of us including medical doctors to break away from this indoctrination and think on their own (like a true scientist and researcher) instead of letting a few stooges posing as researchers and publishing junk science tell them what the medical reality is about Zika. We dont need JAMA Neurology to re-write the history of Zika virus in October of 2016 for the benefit of the ruling elite. Its been a long time since 1947 when the virus was initially isolated, and logically and medically speaking no one at JAMA Neurology or anyone in the Western medical community will ever offer a true reasonable and logical explanation (or proof for that matter) as to how the Zika virus would suddenly change its nature and pathogenicity overnight even as the US seeks lots of funding $$ for this virus psyop being perpetrated on humanity. The fact of the matter is that none of this assumes that any Western medical doctors will challenge this claim even if they dont believe it themselves. Which means that innocent and unaware Americans are being lied to and deceived at a mass scale about Zika virus. Americans too afraid to challenge the person wearing the white coat in the room will accept whatever they say without posing any challenge. Welcome to the ruling elites depopulation 101 plan which is now in full effect. This is a reminder that the medical system itself, like the military and like police departments all over America, has an automated system of self-censorship and control which is being demonstrated very clearly with this latest and ongoing Zika virus psyop. Understanding the full picture behind the scenes and behind the white coat phenomenon is a great way to begin tackling this ongoing Zika virus psychological operation on humanity which I assure you is not going away any time soon.

2	Sean Spicer Loses It, Completely DESTROYS Dumb Lib Reporters For Running Absurd Fake News It was truly disgusting and shameful how, during the Presidential election and transition time, the liberal mainstream media consistently tried to spread fake news about Republican Donald Trump. The American public clearly didnt buy it, as evidenced by the fact that Trump was swept into office in an Electoral College landslide. Now that Donald Trump has been sworn in and is inhabiting the White House, he has made it clear to the irresponsible mainstream media that he will no longer put up with their fake news smear. His Press Secretary Sean Spicer recently laid down the law, scolding liberal reporters in a brutal way for their fraudulent reporting. The most recent smear the media laid on Trump was the story they cooked up about his inauguration somehow being sparsely attended compared to Obamas, when this was clearly not true. At a meeting with journalists, Sean held up Trumps inauguration speech vow that were going to hold the press accountable as well. Stated Sean to the assembled journalists, Yesterday, at a time when our nation and the world watched the peaceful transition of power and as the president said, the transfer and balance of power from Washington to the citizens of the United States some members of the media were engaged in deliberately false reporting. Explained Sean, Photographs of the inaugural proceeding were intentionally framed in a way in one particular tweet to minimize the enormous support that had gathered on the National Mall. He added, This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration period. Both in person and around the globe. Are you glad Sean set these idiots straight? 
1	Urging the estimated 60 million Americans who have not yet made the transition to the more advanced form of sustenance to do so as soon as possible, acting FDA commissioner Frank Torti announced Wednesday that the nationwide conversion to Digital Food (DF) will take place on Apr.17, 2009. 'The only thing consumers who currently rely on analog foods will need is a digital converter box, which you can purchase at any grocery store,' Torti said at a press conference, adding that every American household is eligible for a $40 coupon to digitize its current pantry. 'DF offers higher texture quality and better taste, as well as multiple spice choices and interactive capabilities. I must stress, however, that after the deadline you will no longer be able to eat your current food.' On the heels of the announcement, President Obama has begun pressuring the Senate to pass legislation that would require all food to be completely wireless by 2015. 
3	Why Are The Chinese Gobbling Up Real Estate And Businesses In Detroit?Michael Snyder Not only that, according to the New York Times dozens of companies from China are investing in businesses and establishing a presence in the Detroit area. If this continues, will Detroit eventually become a city that is heavily dominated by China? At this point, not too many others appear interested in saving Detroit. Right now, there are approximately 78,000 abandoned buildings in Detroit and about one-third of the entire city is either vacant or derelict. People have been moving out in droves and there are only about 700,000 residents left. For many Americans, Detroit is about the last place that they would want to live. But to many Chinese, this sounds like a perfect buying opportunity. According to a recent Fox News report, real estate agents in Detroit are being overwhelmed with inquiries from China Downtown Detroit is home to one of the worst housing markets in the country, as prices of homes have collapsed and foreclosures have soared in the citys depressed economy. But some Chinese investors hungry for real estate are hoping Detroits losses will be their gain.After Detroit filed for bankruptcy July 18, Motor City property has been a hot topic on Chinas social media platform, Weibo, according to a Quartz.com report. News of the bankruptcy, coupled with a Chinese TV report in March that claimed you could buy two houses in Detroit for the same price as a pair of leather shoes, has piqued investors interest. And it appears to be translating into real interest; Caroline Chen, a real estate broker in Troy, Michigan, says shes received tons of calls from people in mainland China. I have people calling and saying, Im seriousI wanna buy 100, 200 properties, she tells Quartz, noting that one of her colleagues recently sold 30 properties to a Chinese buyer. They say We dont need to see them. Just pick the good ones. Meanwhile, according to the New York Times, dozens of Chinese companies are moving into the city Dozens of companies from China are putting down roots in Detroit, part of the countrys steady push into the American auto industry. Chinese-owned companies are investing in American businesses and new vehicle technology, selling everything from seat belts to shock absorbers in retail stores, and hiring experienced engineers and designers in an effort to soak up the talent and expertise of domestic automakers and their suppliers. While starting with batteries and auto parts, the spread of Chinese business is expected to result eventually in the sale of Chinese cars in the United States. Of course this is not just happening in Detroit. The truth is that the Chinese are buying up real estate, businesses and natural resources all over the country. But they seem to have a particular interest in Detroit. Perhaps someone should tell them that Detroit is not actually a very safe place these days. The violent crime rate is five times higher than the national average, and the murder rate in Detroit is 11 times higher than it is in New York City. If you call the police, it takes them an average of 58 minutes to respond. And sometimes the people that are committing the crimes are actually Detroit police officers. In fact, one Detroit police officer was involved in robbing a gas stationjust last week A Good Samaritan snapped photos of what appeared to be two men impersonating police officers involved in a pistol-whipping and robbery outside a Citgo gas station on Detroits east side on July 21. Once Fox 2 aired those photos, an even more disturbing picture developed. Now under arrest are two police sergeants, a 47-year-old officer and 20-year veteran of the Detroit Police Department and his 42-year-old buddy from the police academy, who is a former DPD cop and 17-year veteran of the St. Clair Shores Police Department. The later recently received a distinguished service award. In fact, they were police officers, just not working on-duty at the time, Craig said. Detroit is a dying, bankrupt city. There does not seem to be much hope of a turnaround for Detroit any time soon. So why are the Chinese gobbling up so much real estate and so many businesses in Detroit? That is a very good question.

2	BREAKING: GOP Votes To Impeach Obama His Time As President Is Up Many Americans are frustrated with the fact that President Obama seems to get away with an outrageous number of scandals and numerous instances of misconduct. Now, the South Dakota Republican Party is stepping up and taking action, passing a resolution to impeach Obama. According to reports, delegates voted 191-176 in favor of the resolution, concluding that the President has violated his oath of office in numerous ways. The resolution goes on to cite three examples. I believe we should not use the power of impeachment for political purposes, Delegate David Wheeler of Beadle County told reporters. By doing this, we would look like we cant achieve our political goals through the political process. The issue of impeaching President Obama is driven by more than political purposes however. Unfortunately, there are several procedural barriers that could prevent action from being taken through to the end. In fact, if an impeachment bill were introduced by Congress, it would have to pass through Senate with a two-thirds majority vote. What do you think? Do you support the bill for impeachment?

2	New England Police Take MASSIVE Stand Against Obama In The Most EPIC Way Possible President Obama was in for quite the surprise when he headed to Boston to deliver his Labor Day speech on Monday. Rather than being received with open arms, the New England Police Benevolent Association decided to boycott the rally and protest the presidents refusal to address violence against law enforcement. Our members are enraged at his lack of support of law enforcement, Jenn Flynn, the executive director of the NEPBA told reporters. Its clear that he has an agenda, and unfortunately, the police are not part of his agenda. Lets face it: eight people killed in a nine-day period, eight police officers, and his silence up until recently has been deafening. Flynn is not the only one to criticize Obama for his lack of attention toward those deaths. The real sad part of thisand when I went to the White House in the first term with Joe Bidenhe said to me that he would be the voice of law enforcement, Flynn concluded. Well, as much as I love and adore Joe, his voice has been silent as well. So its not an Obama problem, its an administration problem. Flynn went on to call the recent events a horror show. What do you think? Do you agree with Flynn? 
1	NASA officials watched in horror Monday as the $68 billion straw space shuttle, Explorer 2, burst into flames just after liftoff from Cape Canaveral. The four American and three Russian astronauts onboard were killed instantly, despite their protective all-straw space suits. Technicians were stunned by the failure, which capped a flawless six-month pre-launch test period. They count faulty twine among the possible causes of the accident. NASA's lightweight straw space shuttle tragically burst into flames upon rocket-fuel ignition. 'The straw ship was dry, light-weight and well-bailed enough to break the earth's orbit, but inexplicably burst into flames when ignited with 3,000 gallons of rocket fuel,' said NASA Chief Engineer George Toshikima. 'This is a devastating setback for NASA.' An estimated 30 birds, eight voles and 23 mice who had nested in the ship's outer hull or burrowed homes deep in the ship's straw engines also perished in the blast. The material holding the ship in place was top-quality burlap bailing twine, purchased in bulk from Cape Canaveral's leading farm equipment supplier. The straw ship was constructed with over 200,000 bales of U.S. Grade E straw, baled, tied and pitched from NASA's Cape Canaveral farm, and stored over the planting season in the launchpad barn. 'It was nice and crisp and dry,' Toshikima said. 'Which is the best condition for straw headed away from the earth's gravitational pull.' According to accident reports, the one-eighth-inch thick string was possibly not tied tightly enough or not weaved correctly around a critical fuel-delivery gasket, which may have caused the ship to unravel. Toshikima does not believe such a small imperfection could have caused the massive explosion. 'We are still trying to determine why it suddenly burst into flames,' he said. 'In all the pre-fueling tests, the procedure went perfectly, but as soon as we ignited the fuel, it exploded. Why?' Some insiders fault a problem that occurred last week, when a section of the ship's starboard high-pressure re-entry tiles was eaten by a horse. 'The horse should not have been on the launchpad,' NASA grounds coordinator Nathan Meersen said. 'He ate a critical section of the ship, and it set us back one full day to re-bale and re-tie that section.' Meersen said the horse was returned to NASA stables and given a suitable meal, remnants from the department's long-abandoned, all-hay Mars probe. Although some reports indicate goats may have gnawed at the ship's exterior cables, NASA scientists maintain that there was never a problem with goats. Explorer 1, NASA's first straw ship, was built in 1994, but after 11 months of painstaking preparation, it was destroyed the day before the launch when it unexpectedly rained. The Explorer 2, like its predecessor, was headed for the sun, where it was to be the first spacecraft to land on a star. 'We'd hoped to bring back and study sun rock,' Toshikima said. The straw ship had been equipped with a special reinforced-wicker basket to hold the sun lava for its journey back to Earth. A straw-enforced robot arm was constructed to scoop the lava, which is reportedly as hot as the center of a nuclear holocaust, and place it into the wicker basket. The ship's debris is slated to be used as mulch. 
3	Big Brother Claims to Predict Movements Based on Mobile Phone UseMadison Ruppert, Contributor Considering these technologies together with the astounding amount of requests for subscriber information responded to by U.S. mobile phone companies and built-in technologies like Carrier IQ, a quite troubling picture begins to emerge. It just gets worse when one considers the new research conducted by a team at the University of Birmingham which demonstrated the ability to predict future movements of users with an unbelievable margin of error of a mere 60 feet, according to the British Daily Mail. While some say that this would be used for highly personalized marketing like the creepy patent awarded to Google not too long ago others rightly point to the massive invasion of privacy this represents. Based on location data already collected by mobile phones, the researchers were able to create an algorithm to forecast the future movements of users with mind-bending accuracy. The researchers worked in data from an individual as well as their social network, thus predicting future movements based on the amount of times places have been visited in the past and the frequency of contact between the individuals being studied. The studys lead researcher, Dr. Mirco Musolesi, stated, Information extracted from the usage of a mobile phone is an intriguing source of data about people behavior. Intriguing indeed, but also quite troubling if you would rather not think about the fact that someone could accurately forecast where youll go tomorrow night. We have shown that the accuracy of the prediction of an individuals future locations could be improved if his or her previous movement and the mobility information of his or her social group are taken into account, Dr. Musolesi added. The researchers studied 200 individuals living in and around Lausanne, Switzerland and found that this algorithm might not be representative of the general population as a whole, but instead might be more accurate in cities where the movements of individuals are usually synchronized. Obviously the benefits of this technology for marketing purposes and as the Daily Mail rightly points out, law enforcement, are significant. However, the potential negative impact on our already dwindling privacy is even more significant with privacy watchdog Big Brother Watch already speaking out against it. This development highlights huge privacy concerns, Emma Carr, the deputy director of Big Brother Watch, said to the Sunday Times. Even more concerning is the fact that Musolesi has stated that he is planning to release the algorithm as an Application Programming Interface (API) which would then open the technology up to exploitation by anyone and everyone. While the Daily Mail attempts to highlight the ability of the technology to be used to target individuals with personalized advertisements using information about where the person has been and where he or she might be going and by third-party apps offering discounts and other offers where the app would be able to provide real-time deals available at venues and areas where a person is predicted to beat a specific time and day, the true intention of the technology was revealed by the researchers. The Daily Mail article closes out with a quite telling sentence stating that the researchers hope that the algorithm can be leveraged by police in an attempt to predict the future location of criminal activity. This, of course, is yet another shift in the direction of Minority Report-esque pre-crime technology which has seen a significant rise recently.

1	Moments after losing his composure with an unwarranted emotional outburst, local father David Kessler reportedly apologized to his son Christopher Thursday for erroneously taking out his anger on him and not his older brother Peter. Im really sorry I snapped at you earlier, Chrisyou arent the one who deserves it, said Kessler, admitting he overreacted by losing his temper and berating the 16-year-old instead of his lazy and useless elder sibling. I was totally out of line when I was screaming at someone other than Peter. Theres really no excuse for me to treat anyone except for your good-for-nothing brother that way. I promise it will never happen again.

3	Politically, Why We Got What We GotCatherine J. Frompovich The government, which was designed for the people, has got into the hands of the bosses and their employers, the special interests. An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of democracy. Woodrow Wilson, (Progressive Movement Leader) 28th President of the USA: 1913 to 1921 I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within. Douglas MacArthur World War II American Five Star General I never would have agreed to the formulation of the Central Intelligence Agency back in forty-seven [1947], if I had known it would become the American Gestapo. Harry S. Truman, 33rd U.S. President: 1945 to 1953 The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them. Patrick Henry, a Colonial era Patriot The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the FBI 1924 to 1972 The real rulers of Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes. Felix Frankfurter, Supreme Court Justice 1939 to 1962 Sarah, theres a government inside the government and I dont control it. Bill Clinton (Democrat) 42nd President of the USA: 1993 to 2001 The age of nations must end. The governments of nations have decided to order their separate sovereignties into one government to which they will surrender their arms. U.N. World Constitution We shall have world government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent. James Paul Warburg, German-born American banker and financial adviser to President FDR A colossal event is upon us, the birth of a New World Order. Brent Scowcroft, George H.W. Bushs National Security Adviser In this new world economy, national boundaries are increasingly becoming obsolete. Ronald Reagan (Republican) 40th President of the USA: 1981 to 1989 The main purpose of the Council on Foreign Relations is promoting the disarmament of U.S. sovereignty and national independence and submergence into an all-powerful, one world government. Admiral Chester Ward, Judge Advocate General of the U.S. Navy, also a 20-year CFR member, who became its sharpest critic Who controls money controls the world. The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight-of-hand that was ever invented. Sir Josiah Stamp 1920, Director of the Bank of England The one aim of these financiers is world control by the creation of inextinguishable debts. Henry Ford, Industrialist and founder of the Ford Motor Company The only winner today is big business. Stonewall Jackson, supposedly said the day of concession to the North during the Civil War A global economy requires a global currency. Paul Volcker, former Chairman Federal Reserve 1979 to 1987 To defend the New World Order, U.S. soldiers will have to kill and die. Arthur Schlesinger, American historian 1917 to 2007 The threat of environmental crisis is the international disaster key to unlock the New World Order. Mikhail Gorbachev, President of the Soviet Union 1990 to 1991 and Nobel Prize for Peace recipient Resource for above quotes: http://trueworldhistory.info/docs/quotes.html It would seem that President Barack Obama is being saddled with venomous blame for the current state of affairs in the Unites States of America. And, that the Democratic Party is being blamed for everything thats gone wrong. If you remember, Mr. Obama said it was all Bushs fault! Well, this writer is here to propose that whats been going on has been in the works for much longer than we know, as the apparent quotations from men in history have spoken to and which, apparently, has been ignored. Shame on us! I guess thats what we get when we follow pop stars and TV sitcoms as more important than dirty politics, political shenanigans and spoon-fed, controlled media propaganda. First, let me confess that Im a registered Independent voter, who believes in being an equal-opportunity-critic to address whatever I think doesnt pass constitutional muster. It is my opinion that the current Democratic Obama administration is just the follow through on whats been put into place shortly after the Kennedy assassination and, even more dramatically, since that fateful day known as 9-11 (2001). Furthermore, it is my contention that things ramped up several critical notches when President Reagan took a bullet and lived. During that national emergency, Vice-President George H.W. Bush took over for several hours, during which I think the screws not only were set in place, but tightened to torque capacities for the incoming Agenda 21 that was being worked on under the radar. The New World Order and its apparent implementation tool, Agenda 21 probably was unleashed to subsume every countrys leadership. Those that would not go along with the plan apparently would be made to see the light or encounter problems. Anything come to mind? So, as I assess the Obama administrations agenda, he and his minions are apparent appointed successors, as every politico in high places after 2000 apparently must and will be. Why did the Bush-Gore elections outcome have to go to the U.S. Supreme Court, when we, the people, do the electing? Probably, nothing speaks more to the truth of whats going on than when President George W. Bush candidly and obviously accurately admitted Money trumps peace, as he spoke in this video. But nothing more, in my opinion, lays out the agenda to dissolve individual and USA sovereignties than what comedian George Carlin rips about in his standup comedy routine when he takes on, and exposes, the Ronald Reagan administration criminals. I must warn you that Carlins delivery is toxic, as the language is not for timid ears. He drops F bombs as frequently as the USA dropped 500-pound-laser-guided bombs on Iraq. Remember, I warned you! But heres the apparent upcoming raspy rub, I think: the lame duck Obama administrations apparent trump card to set up the 2016 election cycle spin, which will be an attempted end-run-play to get in to Republican money to support the presidents socialist and New World Orders agenda plans of equalizing wealth. Thats a scheme all socialists and Democratic Party members will buy into hook, line, and sinker. Apparently, most taxpayers think Republicans are the money people, thus the staged play for control of Republican money is going to be fun to watch. Heres a little hint: Problem, solution, reactionor the Hegelian Dialectic performing on center stage that may take on warp speed and lethal consequences. It will become a time to really test Republican political smarts, plus probably set into play voters displeasure that will place a Democrat in the White House in 2016. See how it works. However, on the other hand, I think the political power-grab, dog and pony show played out between Congress and the White House just may take off some blinders from those who obviously, but previously, wanted to stay under the radar and not get involved. I foresee that fun times are about to rev up dramatically. Maybe we should tighten our seat belts for a rather interesting 114th Congressional and Washington-merry-go-round ride.

1	The ongoing trial of notorious Boston crime boss James Whitey Bulger on 19 murder-related charges took another pivotal turn today as Massachusetts authorities discovered the bodies of every single person involved in the trial in a wooded area outside Dorchester, law enforcement officials announced this afternoon. At approximately 9:30 a.m. this morning, police identified the bodies of 347 people in a wooded area near Columbia Road, including one District Court judge, five prosecuting attorneys, 18 jurors, 32 potential witnesses, and dozens of gallery spectators, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said of the new development, in which officers also discovered the remains of three courtroom sketch artists, seven Boston Globe reporters, 10 alleged extortion victims, a bailiff, 28 relatives of alleged extortion victims, 31 state police chiefs, and 50 local businessmen. Autopsies were conducted today by the Office of the Medical Examiner and officers determined that the deaths resulted from natural causes. The incident remains under investigation by state authorities, and we will update the public as necessary. At press time, a spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Investigation could not be reached for comment. 
1	Unwilling to cede decades of hard-won advances, local man Roger Cannons persistent anxiety vowed Monday that it would not let clinical depression muscle in on any of its turf. Look, Ive had a vise-grip on this guy for 30 years, so Im not about to roll over now and let some despondent feelings and an overriding aversion to activity waltz in and take over his emotional state, said the mental disorder, adding that it would crank up Cannons irrational worrying, restlessness, and agitation to drive depression out of its territory once and for all. Rogers mental condition is my domain. And if all-encompassing thoughts of hopelessness and inadequacy think they can parade around like they own the place, trust me, theyve got another thing coming. The neurosis then promised that it wouldnt make the same mistake it did in 2011, when it briefly let its guard down and disastrously allowed happiness to take hold. 
1	Much to the surprise and confusion of everyone in attendance at Ford Field last Sunday, an unknown man wearing an official No. 12 Packers uniform complete with pads, a helmet, and cleats appeared to play quarterback for Green Bay, completing 24 of 38 passes for 328 yards and scoring three touchdowns against the Lions. Broadcast footage provided by Fox Sports clearly shows the guy walking onto the field and lining up behind the center in full view of security officials, who made no attempt to stop the him. The man ran the Packers offense with apparent familiarity, instructing players in the huddle, throwing the ball with remarkable strength and precision, and showing good judgment in either throwing the ball away or scrambling past defenders for first downs while leading the Packers to a 48-25 victory. The guy wearing the Packers uniform, who disappeared into the locker room after the game, is the first unknown individual to quarterback the Packers since 1992, when Brett Favre took over from some dude who was injured in a game against the Bengals. 
1	Following the publication of the image above, in which the most cherished figures from multiple religious faiths were depicted engaging in a lascivious sex act of considerable depravity, no one was murdered, beaten, or had their lives threatened, sources reported Thursday. The image of the Hebrew prophet Moses high-fiving Jesus Christ as both are having their erect penises vigorously masturbated by Ganesha, all while the Hindu deity anally penetrates Buddha with his fist, reportedly went online at 6:45 p.m. EDT, after which not a single bomb threat was made against the organization responsible, nor did the person who created the cartoon go home fearing for his life in any way. Though some members of the Jewish, Christian, Hindu, and Buddhist faiths were reportedly offended by the image, sources confirmed that upon seeing it, they simply shook their heads, rolled their eyes, and continued on with their day. 
3	NATOs Options in UkraineTony Cartalucci NATO still possesses several options with which it can respond to its deteriorating proxy regime and the eroding of its interests both in the region, and around the world. Propaganda Retrenchment Before Aggressive Military Aid As the West has done in Syria, it now seeks to do in Ukraine a complete retrenchment of the official narrative regarding the nature of the ongoing conflict. Previously, the Western media has gone through great lengths to obscure overt Nazism running throughout both the political front it is propping up in Kiev, as well as across the irregular forces sent alongside what remains of Ukraines national army. Western media outlets have briefly touched on the issue in attempts to mitigate and manage growing public concern. Regarding the formation by the Interior Ministry in Kiev of a battalion of Nazis the Azov Battalion the BBC would publish, Ukraine conflict: White power warrior from Sweden, the Telegraph would publish, Ukraine crisis: the neo-Nazi brigade fighting pro-Russian separatists, and Al Jazeera would publish, Driven by far-right ideology, Azov Battalion mans Ukraines front line. Each would in turn, admit that literal Nazis are fighting on behalf of the NATO-backed regime in Kiev with the regime itself raising ultra-right, Neo-Nazi battle formations. But each would also attempt to downplay the implications and role of Nazism within the ongoing conflict. That was until Foreign Policy magazine published its article, praising what it called, fascist defenders of freedom. Its article titled, Preparing For War with Ukraines Fascist Defenders of Freedom, claims: The Azov Battalion so named for the Sea of Azov on which this industrial city is located is one of dozens of volunteer battalions fighting alongside pro-government forces in eastern Ukraine. After separatist troops and armor attacked from the nearby Russian border and took the neighboring town of Novoazovsk, this openly neo-Nazi unit has suddenly found itself defending the city against what Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko called a Russian invasion. Pro-Russian forces have said they are fighting against Ukrainian nationalists and fascists in the conflict, and in the case of Azov and other battalions, these claims are essentially true. Effectively, Foreign Policy finally admits that indeed, warnings that NATO was backing literal Nazis in Ukraine were more than mere Kremlin propaganda, but rather the unequivocal truth. Foreign Policy would continue by reporting: Besides a strong defense, Ukraine needs the support of the West to defeat the invaders, Odnorozhenko argued. He called for the Europe and the United States to take a more aggressive stance on Russia and begin shipping weapons to Ukrainian pro-government forces. And that is precisely what the United States and Europe are attempting to do begin shipping more weapons and other forms of lethal aid to continue propping up the regime in Kiev. By embracing the Nazi militants fighting on behalf of Kiev, and simply claiming Russia is worse, the West can repeat the strategy it used in Syria after it became apparent that militants fighting the government in Damascus were hardcore terrorists driven by sectarian extremism and aligned to Al Qaeda. In fact, it was also Foreign Policy who, in mid-2012, published an article titled, Two Cheers for Syrian Islamists: So the rebels arent secular Jeffersonians. As far as America is concerned, it doesnt much matter. The FP article also attempted to create a narrative that portrayed the Syrian government as a more pressing issue than revelations that NATO-backed militants were sectarian extremists, not the pro-democracy freedom fighters they were portrayed as being during and directly after the so-called Arab Spring. Foreign Policy would also create an array of excuses explaining why militants were extremists a strategy expected to play out again as Kievs Nazism continues to emerge into greater public view. By embracing and excusing two abhorrent ideologies and the heavily armed militant groups espousing them, NATO is able to continue backing both terrorists in Syria and Nazis in Ukraine. With the burden of covering up Nazism in Ukraine off NATOs chest, it can commit to a more aggressive strategy of arming and aiding them. Direct NATO Intervention The self-destructive fleeing forward of the West generally takes the form of political destabilizations, terrorism, false-flag attacks, incremental mission creep, and covert proxy wars. What it has learned from Russia in both 2008 in Georgia and again this year in Crimea, is that direct, unpredictable, bold moves can pay off. NATO recently has been very public in stating it has no intention of intervening in Ukraine. Since NATO perpetually keeps the threat of military intervention on the table for all other conceivable conflicts across the planet, it is strange that both it, and its proxy regime in Kiev, have gone through extra efforts to insist such a scenario in Ukraine is neither desired, nor even on the table. With NATO building up troops in Eastern Europe, and its attempts to lull Russia into a false sense of security, planners in Moscow, eastern Ukrainians confronting NATO-backed troops on the battlefield in Ukraine, and in theaters across the region, sudden NATO intervention must be accounted for, as well as a swift counterstroke to disrupt what will be a precarious proposition for Western interests unaccustomed to such a risky move, and merely depending on shock, awe, and surprise to follow it through. Incremental Escalation Barring a negotiated settlement brokered by Kiev that sees its forces withdrawn from eastern Ukraine and contested provinces forfeited to rebels, it is likely NATO will continue incremental escalation combining both an increasingly aggressive strategy of arming and aiding Kievs forces regardless of their overt Nazism, as well as an incremental NATO build-up along Ukraines borders and covertly within them. Whether NATO commits to a more desperate strategy entirely depends on whether or not this incremental escalation can continue at a quicker pace than the regime in Kiev can collapse. With NATO and the special interests driving its agenda failing in Ukraine and floundering in Syria, the West has exhibited signs of dangerous desperation causing lapses in judgement and an overall lack of deep, coherent, strategic planning. It has gone from forcing its enemies to react to its provocations in 2011, to a series of backpedaling reactions in the face of formidable counterstrokes made in return ever since. An enemy that is desperate, is an enemy that is dangerous. Feeling it has nothing to lose, it may commit to an increasingly reckless strategy of provocations in hopes that its enemies caution and reason force them to back down.

2	Iran Prisoner Swap Goes Wrong After Iran Doesnt Release All Of The Americans Obama made a deal with Iran in order to get 5 Americans home that were being held captive. Earlier this week he executed the deal to release seven Iranians, drop warrants on 14 Iranian suspects, and pay $1.7 billion. All of this was in exchange for 5 Americans. However, it turns out that one of the Americans is not coming home. Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari says that he doesnt want to come home. Whats even weirder is that nobody knows anything about this man. He is basically a ghost. He doesnt even seem to have a family. What were wondering is if Iran has something to do with this. What did they do to him in the time of his captivity. Is he even an American? The Obama administration refuses to tell us anything, as usual. Do you think Obama should release information on this man? Obama has been wrapped up in scandal after scandal, and we demand the transparency he has promised. 
2	This Officer Pulled Over Five Old Ladies, But What Happened After Had Us Dying! Read this story of a police officer pulling over 5 old ladies. Make sure you read the entire thing! Tell us in the comments if you laughed out loud. Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a State Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 22 MPH. He thinks to himself, This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder! The driver, obviously confused, says to him, Officer, I dont understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem? Maam, the officer replies, You werent speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers. Slower than the speed limit? she asked. No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly Twenty-Two miles an hour! the old woman says a bit proudly. The State Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that 22 was the route number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error. But before I let you go, Maam, I have to ask Is everyone in this car ok?These women seem awfully shaken and they havent muttered a single peep this whole time. the officer asks. Oh, theyll be alright in a minute officer. We just got off Route 119. What a great story. Tell us in the comments if this made you laugh! 
3	Shocking Facts About The Deindustrialization Of The U.S. That Everyone Should KnowMichael Snyder Most Americans wont even notice, but the latest monthly trade deficit increased to 42.3 billion dollars The U.S. trade deficit climbed to the highest level in five months in February as demand for American exports fell while imports increased slightly. The deficit increased to $42.3 billion, which was 7.7% above the January imbalance of $39.3 billion, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. In essence, we have gotten poorer as a nation. Have you ever wondered how China has gotten so wealthy? Just a few decades ago, they were basically a joke economically. So how in the world did they get so powerful? Well, one of the primary ways that they did it was by selling us far more stuff than we sold to them. If we had refused to do business with communist China, they never would have become what they have become today. It was our decisions that allowed China to become an economic powerhouse. Last year, we sold 122 billion dollars of stuff to China. That sounds like a lot until you learn that China sold 440 billion dollarsof stuff to us. We fill up our shopping carts with lots of cheap plastic trinkets that are made in China, and they pile up gigantic mountains of our money which we beg them to lend back to us so that we can pay our bills. Who is winning that game and who is losing that game? Below, I have posted our yearly trade deficits with China since 1990. Lets see if you can spot the trend 1990: 10 billion dollars 1991: 12 billion dollars 1992: 18 billion dollars 1993: 22 billion dollars 1994: 29 billion dollars 1995: 33 billion dollars 1996: 39 billion dollars 1997: 49 billion dollars 1998: 56 billion dollars 1999: 68 billion dollars 2000: 83 billion dollars 2001: 83 billion dollars 2002: 103 billion dollars 2003: 124 billion dollars 2004: 162 billion dollars 2005: 202 billion dollars 2006: 234 billion dollars 2007: 258 billion dollars 2008: 268 billion dollars 2009: 226 billion dollars 2010: 273 billion dollars 2011: 295 billion dollars 2012: 315 billion dollars 2013: 318 billion dollars Yikes! It has been estimated that the U.S. economy loses approximately 9,000 jobs for every 1 billion dollars of goods that are imported from overseas, and according to the Economic Policy Institute, America is losing about half a million jobs to China every single year. Considering the high level of unemployment that we now have in this country, can we really afford to be doing that? Overall, the United States has accumulated a total trade deficit with the rest of the world of more than 8 trillion dollars since 1975. As a result, we have lost tens of thousands of businesses, millions of jobs and our economic infrastructure has been absolutely gutted. Just look at what has happened to manufacturing jobs in America. Back in the 1980s, more than 20 percent of the jobs in the United States were manufacturing jobs. Today, only about 9 percent of the jobs in the United States are manufacturing jobs. And we have fewer Americans working in manufacturing today than we did in 1950 even though our population has more than doubled since then Many people find this statistic hard to believe, but the United States has lost a total of more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities since 2001. Millions of good paying jobs have been lost. As a result, the middle class is shriveling up, and at this point 9 out of the top 10 occupations in America pay less than $35,000 a year. For a long time, U.S. consumers attempted to keep up their middle class lifestyles by going into constantly increasing amounts of debt, but now it is becoming increasingly apparent that middle class consumers aretapped out. In response, major retailers are closing thousands of stores in poor and middle class neighborhoods all over the country. You can see some amazing photos of Americas abandoned shopping malls right here. If we could start reducing the size of our trade deficit, that would go a long way toward getting the United States back on the right economic path. Unfortunately, Barack Obama has been negotiating a treaty in secret which is going to send the deindustrialization of America into overdrive. The Trans-Pacific Partnership is being called the NAFTA of the Pacific, and it is going to result in millions more good jobs being sent to the other side of the planet where it is legal to pay slave labor wages. According to Professor Alan Blinder of Princeton University, 40 millionmore U.S. jobs could be sent offshore over the next two decades if current trends continue. So what will this country look like when we lose tens of millions more jobs than we already have? U.S. workers are being merged into a giant global labor pool where they must compete directly for jobs with people making less than a dollar an hour with no benefits. Obama tells us that globalization is good for us and that Americans need to be ready to adjust to a level playing field. The quality of our jobs has already been declining for decades, and if we continue down this path the quality of our jobs is going to get a whole lot worse and our economic infrastructure will continue to be absolutely gutted. At one time, the city of Detroit was the greatest manufacturing city on the entire planet and it had the highest per capita income in the United States. But today, it is a rotting, decaying hellhole that the rest of the world laughs at. In the end, the rest of the nation is going to suffer the same fate as Detroit unless Americans are willing to stand up and fight for their economy while they still can.

2	Watch Obama Get Completely Humiliated By A Reporter On Live TV... Hilarious [VIDEO] Well, President Obama couldnt talk himself out of this one. Obama stumbled through a ridiculous answer after CBS reporter Major Garrett called him out on live television. Can you tell the country, sir, why you are content with all the fanfare around this deal to leave the conscious of this nation, the strength of this nation, unaccounted for in relation to these four Americans? Garrett asked about the Iran deal. Obama attempted to skirt the question by criticizing the way it was phrased. The notion that I am content as I celebrate with American citizens languishing in Iranian jailsMajor, thats nonsense, and you should know better, Obama retorted. Ive met with the families of some of these folks. Nobodys content. And our diplomats and our teams are working diligently to try and get them out. Obama then went on in a pathetic attempt to justify why our government did not tie the American hostages to the negotiations with Iran. Watch the video below and tell us what you think about Obamas response:

3	Is Obamacare a Rip-off or a Golden Goose?Catherine J. Frompovich Richard Pollack of the Washington Examiner wrote an in-depth analysis that this writer cant begin to match, so she will refer readers to Surprise! Walmart health plan is cheaper, offers more coverage than Obamacare. This graphic taken from Pollacks article dramatizes the differences. Shouldnt Congresswoman Pelosi and Senator Reid be taken to task for forcing a boondoggle piece of legislation that was proffered as health insurance but wound up being declared a tax by the U.S. Supreme Court? Wasnt the bill advertised as one thing and we got something else? Isnt that akin to false advertising? We thought we were getting health insurance but wound up getting a tax! That, in the business world, is what is called bait and switch advertising. Talk about the tax, lets correct that to the 20 additional or increased taxes we get under Obamacare. [1a] Furthermore, werent U.S. citizens and voters entitled to know what they would be forced to purchase before rolling out a government program that, undoubtedly, is meant to be a financial breaker for most citizens who had affordable health insurance before January 1, 2014, or the five to six million who have lost health insurance because of Obamacare? With all the problems and changes that didnt go through Congress while trying to get Obamacare up and running, etc., plus the unfulfilled promises, e.g., you can keep your doctor, one would think that some kind of schlock outfit was running a Ponzi scheme rather than a government-run health insurance program. According to the Pollack article, this adds another straw to the camels back: Walmart employees pay as little as $4 for a 30-day supply of generic drugs and only $10 for eye exams through a separate vision plan. [1] The logical question anyone with half a brain, including Congress, ought to be asking is, Why cant everyone shop for healthcare insurance at Wal-Mart? But is there another question that really needs to be asked and answered? Is it, How come just about every federal-government-run endeavor, e.g., the U.S. Postal Service, Fannie Mae [mortgages], etc. gets into financial trouble? Even Social Security is running on low or close to empty because of all the IOUs [2] the feds left for fiduciary funds they took out, but apparently may never have replaced. Forbes ran an excellent article asking What Happened to the $2.6 Trillion Social Security Trust Fund?Shouldnt we, too, ask Where did that money go? black ops operation budgets or, perhaps, into building underground cities in the Cheyenne Mountain of Colorado? [3, 4] How did that construction, and others like it, get funded? Santa Claus? It seems the U.S. is running low on cash and reserves. Furthermore, China may be calling for payoffs on debts [5]. So another logical question that ought to be asked is Will the Affordable Care Act help finance more than just healthcare? It seems weve been too trustworthy with the spending of our tax dollars and, especially, the Social Security Fiduciary Trust Fund. Look where that got us. Shouldnt there be an audit and accounting before any new government boondoggle is left to run roughshod and probably allowed to get waylaid by fraud just like Medicare, which costs us about $60Billion a year? [6] By the way, there really isnt a need for another federal health insurance program. The feds just needed to straighten out Medicare and Medicaid and we would be set to go without wasting all those millions of dollars on a flopped website and launch. How much did that cost us? Let them eat cake [7] seems to be the reigning mentality.

2	BREAKING: Illegal Aliens Are Now Targeting White American Citizens For Violent Crimes [VIDEO] During his time as President, Barack Obama has made it clear that protecting white American citizens is not his priority. In fact, he seems to ignore that any dangers could affect this group at all. GOP frontrunner Donald Trump has been criticized immensely for voicing his concerns about these threats. Perhaps his first comment that rocked the boat was his claim that many illegal immigrants from Mexico were criminals. Liberals were quick to call Trump a racist for that comment. As it turns out, Trump wasnt that off base. And, in fact, the threat only seems to be growing. Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com 
1	Recalling the provocation that came midway through a routine traffic stop, Danville police officer Dylan Hayden told reporters Thursday that driver Donald Watkins decision to frustratedly point his finger at him was just the green light he needed. Legally, Im not allowed to touch the motorist after pulling him over, but when he extended his index finger directly toward me, I knew that gave me the go-ahead right there to take whatever action I deemed necessary, said Hayden, adding that as soon as he noticed the conceivably threatening hand gesture, he had full authority to skip right ahead to exerting force. Frankly, I probably wouldve had the okay to rock and roll after he cursed under his breath, but I wanted to be absolutely certain that I was in the clear. Once he pointed his finger at my chest from inside his vehicle, I knew Id be covered no matter what happened next. He really left the door wide open for me with that one. Hayden expressed confidence that there was probably someone wanted for robbery who looks similar enough to Watkins to legally justify pulling him over in the first place. 
1	Citing 'organization-wide disinterest in a truly mundane species of bird,' Greenpeace announced Monday that it is ending its decades-long fight to save the endangered Northern Spotted Owl. 'For some reason, we devoted more than 30 years to trying to save this unspectacular little owl,' Greenpeace associate director Tomas Lindstrom said. 'But somewhere along the way, I guess we just came to our senses and kind of lost interest.' Lindstrom said the environmental group plans to shift its focus to 'saving animals that people actually see every once in a while.' 
2	Eric Garners Daughter Speaks Out: This Is Not A White And Black Issue! [VIDEO] Eric Garners daughter made quite a stir when she made the decision to appear on CNN. Despite what the media expected, Garner repeatedly insisted that she did not feel that her fathers death was an issue of race. Garner was a 43-year-old father of six, who died earlier this year after an aggressive arrest when he was caught illegally selling loose cigarettes. Last week, a Staten Island jury decided not to indict the officer who was responsible, which similar to Ferguson sparked protests throughout the nation. This is night a black and white issue, Garners daughter, Erica, told Don Lemon. This is a national crisis. Garner went on to explain that she doesnt believe that her father was killed by a white police officer because he was a black man. I really doubt it, she told Lemon. It was about the officers pride. It was about my father being 64 and 350 pounds and he wants to be the top cop that brings a big man down. 
3	Should We Be Like Iceland? A Controversial and Alternative Approach to Economic TurmoilOp-Ed by Brianna Acuesta Is everything in the meme regarding Icelands economic solutions and recovery true? Upon further research, it is surprising to report that, yes, it is. Of course, these are only small statements meant to represent a portion of the big picture and it makes no mention of how the country reacted and how the rest of the world was impacted. As with the Denmark meme regarding their own economic policies, this meme leaves a lot to be desired and must be broken down to understand if the US can extract anything from Icelands economic solutions. Based on comments from when the meme was originally posted, one of the biggest criticisms is that Iceland is incredibly small compared to the US population and policies that they implement could never work here. The criticism of the size comparison is completely reasonable; Iceland has 0.1% of the population that the US does, but it is hardly fair to say that nothing in their strategy is worth learning about. Though they may have only had 3 banks fail in their collapse, compared to our 465 between 2008-2012, their collapse based on the size of their economy was the largest experienced by any country in economic history. So although there is a size differential, their stakes were raised even more by the size of their collapse relative to their population and economy, yet they managed to do what no other country did under the same circumstances: they let their banks collapse. Their three biggest banks collapsed in 2008 and caused massive problems for the country, its shareholders, and foreign investors overnight. Iceland nationalized one of their banks, as the US did with a few of theirs, and broke up the other two big banks into smaller, new banks in order to continue running domestic operations. Instead of forming a bailout program like George W. Bush did for the US with TARP, the Troubled Asset Relief Program, Iceland took other steps to control their currency and domestic impact. After letting their banks fail, they then devalued their own currency, introduced capital controls to control the money coming in and out of their capital account, and got out of paying the minimum deposit guarantees to Dutch and British investors. This last move was huge, as it allowed the country to invest more in its own citizens by forgiving mortgage debt rather than worrying about the fallout for other nations. Was this a selfish strategy? Perhaps, but in such a crisis, one can argue that they needed to first get their country and citizens back in order before they could worry about the rest of the world and properly assist in the overall crisis. All of these measures were not, however, produced from the same government that was in place when the economy first collapsed. It is important to note that there was a period of political unrest within Iceland with protests demanding the resignation of their current government and for a new election to be held. As a result, the government did resign, elections took place, and they elected a new left-wing government in 2009. So, although the government responded swiftly to the demands of the people and favored their rights over the banks, unrest amongst the people was still unavoidable. Another huge step that Iceland took was they prosecuted the criminals responsible for the collapse in their country. Not only did they prosecute them and send many of them to prison, they made them pay off loans for some of the consumers and sign documents that forgave mortgage debt, sometimes for even more than the property value. Of course this didnt solve their problems overnight; and today, just like in the US, there are still issues of unemployment and GDP that are recovering from the shock of the collapse. However, they have been hailed as having recovered much more quickly than many other nations in the same situation. The question remains: is there something that the US could have learned from Iceland in the wake of economic turmoil? The answer is yes, always, because we can all learn from each other, even if the lesson is what not to do. However, I think there is something to be said about every step of their strategy. The US couldnt simply let their banks fail because the experts and leaders in the economic industry didnt even see it coming, despite warnings from some of the people within their field. We could, however, have allowed more of our banks to receive no support at all and better regulate the funds we delegated to banks we did bailout to ensure that the money was going to the right place or instead used some of that $700 billion to citizens to forgive mortgage debt or pay off their loans. Instead, what we got was an unregulated program that eventually led to investigations and prosecutions for fraud because the bank owners were still just using it to turn a profit or telling investors that their invested money was going towards the program. Additionally, only one top banker went to jail for the crimes they committed and the turmoil they caused. Certainly, at the very least, we could have prosecuted more bankers and filled their positions in order to send the message that this greedy and reckless behavior within our economy would not be tolerated. Though its hard to say what would have happened if we had taken the same approach as Iceland with our collapse since it is all just speculation, one thing is for certain: big banks received little to no punishment, though the impact was global, and learned nothing from their actions. In the words of Mark Baum from the movie The Big Short about the years leading up to the crisis, The whole time we were wondering how the big banks could be so stupid They didnt care. They knew the taxpayers had to bail them out. And that we did. This article (Should We Be Like Iceland? A Controversial and Alternative Approach to Economic Turmoil) is free and open source.

America should be like the constitutional Republic it was meant to be before these banksters bought the entire congress and put THEIR men in the White House. Fcough, fool! First Iceland is not a police state. In USA we would be fired upon if we stormed the banks. Second if the banks fail again the law now says they can pay their debts by confiscating our savings checking accounts giving us vouchers just like they did in Cyprus. Third when it comes they will try to institute cash free banking which will give them even more ways to cheat us govt more ways to tax us. America wouldnt be needing to take a lesson from Iceland had the 18th-century founders (like their 17-century Christian Colonial predecessors) established government and society on Yahwehs moral law (including His economic statutes) as the supreme law of the land: 3. Every problem America faces today can be traced back to the fact that the framers failed to expressly establish a government upon Yahwehs immutable morality as codified in His commandments, statutes, and judgments. (Would infanticide and sodomy be tolerated, let alone financed by the government, if Yahwehs perfect law and altogether righteous judgments were the law of the land? Would Islam be a looming threat to our peace and security if the First Amendment had been replaced with the First Commandment? Would Americans be in nearly as much debt if usury had been outlawed as a form of theft?

1	Claiming he hit the jackpot when his victim began displaying an increased level of confidence and expressing his personal interests, local bully David Macomber told reporters Tuesday that he has had loads of new material to work with since 14-year-old Andrew Reid started coming out of his shell several weeks ago. I used to just make fun of him for being shy, but ever since he began speaking up and showing a little more of his personality, Ive had way more ammo for tearing him apart, said Macomber, adding that hed been able to move on from solely insulting Reid for having his mom pick out his lame clothes to far more precise attacks based on the high school freshmans Coheed and Cambria shirt. Now that I know a bunch of his hobbies and passions, Ive found a ton of new ways to torment him. Whether hes reading graphic novels in the lobby before school or I overhear him talking about the latest episode of Adventure Time, hes just giving me so much to riff off of. Its way easier to get to him when I can just tell him that all the stupid shit he likes sucks. At press time, Macomber admitted that he probably would have become bored and stopped picking on Reid if he hadnt started opening up more. 
3	Vindicated: Gladio B, Paris Terror ISIS Fakery AdmittedJay Dyer Edmonds projects this region to be the next Ukraine, as this areaforms whatPepe Escobar terms, Pipelinestan. The democracy exporting NGOs will now bring weaponized freedom, of course. Sound familiar? Sibels analysis backs up my own in terms of the Paris terror events, where two weeks ago I noted the associations with Gladio. In this regard, we mustnt forget the failed Turkish false flag of 2014, again making the Turkish-French connect: What begins to emerge is a consistentpattern of interlocking and interconnected intelligence agencies at the level of terror event, as well as theirassets that all serve the same establishment perched on top. When we consider French intelligence, the fingerprints are no different, as French intelligence has had a long history of false flags and dirty dealings along with their western counterparts in NATO. France helped train the Al Qaeda-linked rebels along with US and British forces in Jordan, a longtime CIA puppet state. Arms and sand pirates are in steady supply for western intelligence agencies needing distractions or desiring to ramp up the terror/security theater. France was also involved in the failed March 2014 Turkish false flag attempt aimed at laying the blame once again on Syria and Assad, and by extension, encroaching further on Russia. On top of all this, the new boogeyman of rebranded Al Qaeda known as ISIS has been openly admitted today to be a scam from high level CIA and General Kevin Bergner. Readers may recall my February 2013 article where I cited Bruce Riedel lecturing the Brookings Institution on false flags, as apparently the corporate head audience had never heard of this idea. This demonstrates Riedel is not a nobody, but a veteran of the deep state who openly discusses false flags and the staged nature of ISIS. The 2007 New York Times article The Leader of Al Qaeda inIraq was Fictional, U.S. Military Says,states, via Zero Hedge: As the titular head of the Islamic State in Iraq, an organization publicly backed by Al Qaeda, Baghdadi issued a steady stream of incendiary pronouncements. Despite claims by Iraqi officials that he had been killed in May, Baghdadi appeared to have persevered unscathed. On Wednesday, a senior American military spokesman provided a new explanation for Baghdadis ability to escape attack: He never existed. Brigadier General Kevin Bergner, the chief American military spokesman, said the elusive Baghdadi was actually a fictional character whose audio-taped declarations were provided by an elderly actor named Abu Adullah al-Naima. The ruse, Bergner said, was devised by Abu Ayub al-Masri, the Egyptian-born leader of Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, who was trying to mask the dominant role that foreigners play in that insurgent organization. The ploy was to invent Baghdadi, a figure whose very name establishes his Iraqi pedigree, install him as the head of a front organization called the Islamic State of Iraq and then arrange for Masri to swear allegiance to him. Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Ladens deputy, sought to reinforce the deception by referring to Baghdadi in his video and Internet statements. The evidence for the American assertions, Bergner announced at a news briefing, was provided by an Iraqi insurgent: Khalid Abdul Fatah Daud Mahmud al-Mashadani, who was said to have been captured by American forces in Mosul on July 4. According to Bergner, Mashadani is the most senior Iraqi operative in Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia. He got his start in the Ansar al-Sunna insurgent group before joining Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia more than two years ago, and became the groups media emir for all of Iraq. Bergner said that Mashadani was also an intermediary between Masri in Iraq and bin Laden and Zawahiri, whom the Americans assert support and guide their Iraqi affiliate. Mashadani confirms that al-Masri and the foreign leaders with whom he surrounds himself, not Iraqis, made the operational decisions for Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, Bergner said. Bruce Riedel, a former CIA official and a Middle East expert, said that experts had long wondered whether Baghdadi actually existed. There has been a question mark about this, he said. Nonetheless, Riedel suggested that the disclosures made Wednesday might not be the final word on Baghdadi and the leaders of Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia. Even Mashadanis assertions, Riedel said, might be a cover story to protect a leader who does in fact exist. First, they say we have killed him, Riedel said, referring to the statements by some Iraqi government officials. Then we heard him after his death and now they are saying he never existed. That suggests that our intelligence on Al Qaeda in Iraq is not what we want it to be. Zero Hedge correctly mentions Iron Man 3, and JaysAnalysis was quick to make that connection back in May of 2013as well, here. I wrote, perfectly in line with Sibels analysis, as follows: The only evidence of the so-called aid workers corpse are two pasty legs. Those could be anyones legs, but the WWF nature of ISIS and their ridiculous videos will unfortunatelycontinue unabated. When ISIS shows us their next retarded video and stages thebeheading of RobertDowney, Jr or Katy Perry, maybe the media whores will begin to lose credibility. Then again,probably not, since Hollywood and ye ole theatre of staged intelligence operations are now the same. All these videos are intended to do is rile moronic western evangelicals and faux conservatives who dont know their theological ass form a hole in the ground for Huntingtons clash of civilizations philosophy. The bin Laden cutout character thus also matches up to the Baghdadi character now known and confirmed to be an actor. JaysAnalysis contributor Peter Parker analyzed the connections to bin Laden in depth in his piece on Iron Man 3. The point here is that the methodology of Al Qaedas false fronts are the same as ISIS, demonstrating ISIS is controlled by the same PR companies in the West that serve the interests of the Atlanticist establishment. We have also seen yet another ISIS beheading video that purports to kill two Japanese individuals following the sillyISIS kid killer production. However, as expected, these videos also demonstrate alteration and staging, adding to the long list of Hollywood productions, and even the Japanese government is speaking out about the apparent staging. It is worth noting the Turkish soap opera clip that reportedly aired prior to any ISIS beheadings that is laughably a carbon copy of the so-called beheadings. To add the icing to all this, U.S. Generals have now come forward admitting the Obamaadministration is arming ISIS. We knew this all along, and its not as if this a Democratic plan. We can think of the Bushes and theSafari Club and connections to terror outlined in Joseph Trentos Prelude to Terror. 21stCenturyWire comments on this story: WND reported Monday that in exclusive interviews conducted with 11 of the 17 members of the commission, it is clear that while the CCB is still enthusiastic to work with Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, and hopeful that Boehner is serious about the investigation, various members of the CCB, speaking on their own behalf and not as spokesmen for the commission, are expressing concerns, wanting to make sure the Gowdy investigation is not compromised by elements within the GOP. The Citizens Commission on Benghazis interim report, in a paragraph titled Changing sides in the War on Terror, alleges the U.S. was fully aware of and facilitating the delivery of weapons to the Al Qaeda-dominated rebel militias throughout the 2011 rebellion. The report asserted the jihadist agenda ofAQIM [Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb], theLibyan Islamic Fighting Group and other Islamic terror groups represented among the rebel forces was well-known to U.S. officials responsible for Libya policy. The rebels made no secret of their Al Qaeda affiliation, openly flying and speaking in front of the black flag of Islamic jihad, according to author John Rosenthal and multiple media reports, the interim report said. And yet, the White House and senior Congressional members deliberately and knowingly pursued a policy that provided material support to terrorist organizations in order to topple a ruler who had been working closely with the West actively to suppress Al Qaeda. The report concluded: The result in Libya, across much of North Africa, and beyond has been utter chaos, disruption of Libyas oil industry, the spread of dangerous weapons (including surface-to-air missiles), and the empowerment of jihadist organizations like Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood.

2	Obama Is Furious After Tom Brady Did THIS New England Patriots Tom Brady received massive media attention after he publicly snubbed President Barack Obama at a White House ceremony honoring the Super Bowl champions. While some have patted Brady on the back for his actions, others have criticized him deeply for what is being perceived as a lack of respect. This criticism peaked when Stephen A. Smith, co-host of ESPNs First Take asked why Brady visited George W. Bush three times when in office, but would not meet with Obama. But when George W. Bush was president in 2001, 2003, 2004, Tom Brady was there at the White House celebrating, Smith claimed. But Barack Obama is the president of the United States and Tom Bradys got family commitments? Im just simply presenting the question because Ive got a problem with the fact that the franchise quarterback, the face of the New England Patriots, future Hall of Famer and all of this other stuff, Tom Brady cant do anything wrong. The racial implications of Smiths comments could not be missed. What do you think? Was Smith wrong is accusing Brady of snubbing Obama for his race? 
1	Saying the money would help further researchers understanding of the awesome scientific phenomenon, representatives for the American Institute of Physics announced Tuesday that they had received a $10 million grant to melt stuff. This funding will provide our researchers with the resources they need to put some junk over a really hot flame until it starts liquefying and gets all stretched out and stuff, said AIP director James Griffith, adding that a portion of the grant would be allocated to making sure the flames were real big so that the research team could melt large items, such as desk chairs and lamps. We already have a number of experiments lined up that will answer such questions as whether laboratory goggles or a digital thermometer melts first, and weve scheduled several trials to determine how fast we can melt a whole cafeteria tray. Pending our findings, my colleagues and I will then wait to see if all the melted stuff hardens up, at which point we intend to hold it over the flame and melt it again. This research follows a $6 million study last year in which scientists were reportedly able to determine that dropping an electron microscope into a huge vat of acid is really fun. 
3	What Are they Hiding? Feds Tell Florida Cops to Deny Public Records Requests on Orlando AttackBy Claire Bernish A letter from the FBI dated June 20 attached to a lawsuit brought by the City of Orlando seeking the release of 911 calls in full, as well as other records pertaining to the shooting, had also been forwarded to the Seminole County Sheriffs Office but included instructions for law enforcement to deny all requests for information. Under the guise of protecting the investigation as well as the victims and their families the letter asks law enforcement agencies to deny information to anyone asking and immediately notify the FBI of any requests your agency received so the FBI can seek to prevent disclosure through appropriate channels, as necessary. Under an official FBI seal, the letter signed by special agent in charge of the agencys Tampa field office, Paul Wysopal who refused to comment to the Sentinel states, in part: Though the letter claims the 911 audio recordings and any other information pertaining to the mass shooting would have an exemption under the Freedom of Information Acts Section 522(b)(7)(A) protecting records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes where disclosure would adversely affect a pending investigation the excuse seems flimsy and superficial. According to the Sentinel, attorneys for media outlets involved argue in the lawsuit for the release of all pertinent records because there exists a strong public interest in fully evaluating how first responders and police reacted during the most critical phases of this incredible tragedy. Indeed, as recent revelations proved, law enforcement officers responding immediately to the scene entered the club to stop shooter Omar Mateen, but were told to hold their position until SWAT arrived something Belle Isle Police Officer Brandon Cornwell said took 15 or 20 minutes couldve been longer. But under strict orders from the FBI, the City of Orlando continues refusing to release any records out of respect for Pulse shooting victims and the families. However, were the FBI truly looking out for the injured and families of victims, withholding information which could reveal possible negligence or mishandling of an active shooter situation wouldnt be considered. In fact, refusing to release information that might help the families seek recourse or some semblance of justice stands contrary to that end. President of the First Amendment Foundation, Barbara Petersen, told the Sentinel the FBI doesnt have the authority to hijack Floridas constitution, which guarantees us a right of access to all non-exempt public records. Despite the acknowledgement law enforcement would be obligated to respond to a request under Floridas Sunshine Law for records and information pertaining to the FBIs pending investigation, including information that your agency has provided to the FBI in furtherance of our investigation, we request that you withhold the records, under yet another exemption the agency invokes. As the Orlando shooting has come under intense scrutiny, and the response and handling of the subsequent investigation by local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies remains the subject of controversy, the release of information to the public is crucial. In the interim, suspicions about the incidents apparent exception to rules concerning disclosure will remain a topic of debate. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Oh, nothing suspicious going on here Have yall seen the interviews with two of the victims? One supposedly got shot in the hand, which was covering his face. The shot was with a supposed AR15. There is nothing wrong with either of his hands, and his face is fine. Another victim (woman in tube dress) was supposedly shot through her abdomen from front to back. Shes up, standing, bending, smiling, NOT shot. Did you see the videos of other non-bloody victims being carried two blocks by bystanders TOWARDS The Pulse? One was set down and they all stretched and smiled, when they thought the camera was off. Did you see the video of Judge Andrew Napolitano saying that he saw the FBI report, and it said that the first person who was killed was at 5:15 AM, 3 hours after the thing started, and it was done by the SWAT team? How about the jihadi-to-be that was arrested in California, surrendering his car full of guns and bombs, WANTING to be arrested because he just found out that Mateen was killed in Orlando? He said that was NOT THE AGREEMENT and he (the California guy) was not going to go through with his plans. Of course he requested protective custody and wont be seen again to testify about anything. I have tried to verify this California jihadi-to-be, but can only find a few independent websites concurring without any sources or references. Were these websites able to retrieve data inaccessible to everyone else? If so; why, how? And since when has the alternative media operated on allegations, or even worse, anonymous statements? If it were I who discovered this information and wished to share it here, Id be very sure to provide details, a link, or something. So again, I say some guy in the North Atlantic on a chocolate dinghy framed a patsy cod to do his dirty work and was the one truly responsible for the ruckus at Pulse. An evil pinko squid helped, but weve elected to forget cause I said so, right here. Amendment to an incomplete sentence: Regarding the jihadi dude from California: When I mentioned verify, it is perfectly clear that he exists, but the report of him stating something about not the agreement seems pure unsubstantiated nonsense. So again, I am aware of the individual and police report, but have been entirely unable to substantiate the statement regarding agreements and such. If True, then this is crucial information and deserves international attention. However, rumors dont deserve much of anything. Anyone attempting to distinguish around here? Glad you found something, because this site wont let me post links. Thanks for looking by yourself. This seems to be a repeated pattern in all of these federally ran operations. Its a great time to be a crisis actor. And from what Ive seen theres no acting skill required. They all really suck as a actors. They all seem to have a left bent to their personality. Selling out their country and country men like thy have done through-out history. The Orlando Chief of Police even admitted that some of the victims were shot by cops! Most likely, ALL of the people killed and wounded there were were the result of the actions by the police. If you could be so burdened, citation would be very much appreciated. Not that I doubt such could be, but I will continue doubting either way until evidence is found. And if its not too much to ask, try to cite a source that is either the original source, or eventually leads to it (the original source). You know, cause I say, the Orlando Police Chief said Humillyium hum diddy oompha humpa terrorluffagus and I swear it on me granddogs 23rd leg. Lawsuit time. Use the law and force them to release that public right to know info. Well, it seems all that is left to do is to pay off the mortgages of all the families of the victims, raze the club, clear away the first two feet of topsoil and make everybody involved sign non-disclosure agreements. At least the federal bureau of incinerations Mister Wyposal didnt threaten to arrest anybody for reporting information not coming directly to him like Mister Vance up there in Connecticut did during Sandy Hoax. They dont want to be found complicit or found to be supportive and manipulative, or perhaps the gun was given to Mateen by the set up crew. Does it count if SWAT charges in, guns blazing, and shoots half the victims? Yes it would count. But not in this instance because there was no one killed at the Pulse in Orlando. My guess is that the police did much or most of the killing. Not deliberately, just from pure incompetence. One of the most glaringly obvious mistakes made about Sandy Hoax, is the WEATHER for that day!! According to The Old Farmers Almanac, in Newtown, Connecticut on the 14th of December 2012, the temps were a low of 30.6 degrees F. and 49.3 for the high. On the 15th, they were 32.2 and 46.8. But yet not a man, woman or child there in those videos can be seen with any breath fog coming from their mouth or nose!! Connecticut is like a frigging FREEZER that time of year, which is what immediately triggered my B.S. detector and almost burned it out due to overload! Then when I checked TOFA, there was no doubt at all that it was a hoaxed up story! And why isnt there any snow on the ground with temps like that? But when I bring this up to people, the cognitive dissonance is so damn loud, it just drowns everything else out. Its like standing next to a jet engine at full song, or Niagara Falls! So IF ANYONE was killed did it happen when Swat entered the Club? The FBI could not have that truth coming out. After all guns are the only danger in the US. Not the psychos that use them. All the demorats and some RINOS are screaming gun bans. It should be a ban on criminals. But the left wing bleeding hearts cant do the correct or INTELLIGENT thing. Since liberalism is a mental disorder they connected at the hip with psycho criminals. If there is every a gun ban ALL LIBERALS, CONGRESSMEN, PRESIDENT SHOULD GIVE UP GUNS TOO. But you know the cowards will not. The fact that the event never happened, THATS what. Apparently, according to the FBI, the law is no longer in effect. Its being tweaked and twisted to fit whatever sort of shenanigans are being carried out. Google The FBI polygraphers will clean-up this mess Trust no one in the FBI except the FBI polygraphers. The FBIs desire for complete secrecy here is a warning sign that something is rotten in the State of Florida! Those demanding this information should not be dissuaded by superficial excuses. Could the reason be because no one died at the Pulse in Orlando? Just like no one died at Sandy Hoax. Here is the quote, extracted from the link youve provided: I will say this, thats all part of the investigation, Mina said. But I will say when our SWAT officers, about eight or nine officers, opened fire, the backdrop was a concrete wall, and they were being fired upon. I am not quite sure how this admits or even alludes to the police shooting innocents. Again, I have hardly a doubt that the police would love to do so, but I cannot accept this as anything other than interpolation and low reading comprehension. Minas use of they may refer to his SWAT, or possibly those inside Pulse. But eight or nine may just as well imply 7 or 10 office employees, if we are to absolutely insist on seizing something from the crap-shoot of ambiguity. Thanks for providing the link, but I still recommend a bit of self-restraint and critical-thinking between a few trifle hints and the almighty truth. Hahaha I really like the Droolers comment. good job !! It is true that a high IQ score will disqualify a person from being a police officer. 
3	Geneva Is A Deception: In Syria, Peace Will Be Won On The BattlefieldOp-Ed by Afraa Dagher At the moment the peace talks began in Geneva, these so-called moderate rebels, backed by the United States and its regional allies, particularly the Wahhabist Saudi Arabia, began their suicide bombings in pro-government provinces like Syeda Zainab. In this town, located in the Damascus countryside, we saw a suicide attack that claimed the lives of more than 63 civilians with many more injured. Only days before, suicide bombings took place in Homs, leaving large numbers of martyrs and injured residents in its wake. We suppose that, by these acts, the terrorists sent a clear message to the Saudi delegation and vice versa that the two stand in solidarity with one another. After all, killing civilians is a normal feature of the Wahhabi kingdom. And who can ignore their crimes in Yemen? Why should Syria be any different? It is also important to mention that any peace talks that take place should be between Syrian actors only and not the Riyadh delegation since they most assuredly represent Saudi Arabia more than anyone in Syria. Still, in the face of such atrocities and international aggression, Syria continues to launch successful offensives in Aleppo and Latakia provinces and achieve magnificent victories over Erdogans fighters. One such victory was the liberation of the countryside of Latakia and the significant progress currently being made in Aleppo. The liberation of Latakia provinces villages of Salma and Rabiaa were important victories against Erdogans terrorists because it cut supply lines running from Turkey to terrorists in Latakia. The next hit for the crazed Erdogan was the breaking of the three-and-a-half year siege of Nubbol and Zahra in the northern countryside of Aleppo, effectively destroying his dream of a buffer zone in Northern Syria. It also destroyed his ability to send weapons, food, medicine, and other supplies to terrorists and even more terrorists themselves to Aleppo to fight against the Syrian government and eventually annex Aleppo to Turkey. This victory is also important because it will put terrorists now fighting in Idlib under siege. The border, up to this point, has been controlled by Turkey. Fortunately, that is no longer the case with the liberation of Latakia. Thus, Idlib will be the next to be liberated. So now the Geneva peace talks have been pushed to another date. It is clear that the one who is stronger on the battlefield will have the stronger voice when discussing the terms of peace. But it should always be remembered that it was the SAA and its allies that broke the siege on Syrians and liberated them after years of living under terrorism, not the Geneva talks. In fact, it appears that the opposition delegations are a bit confused since, in times past, they would always ask for peace agreements every time they were being defeated on the ground. Now, they have conditions in place for talks and it is clear that these conditions are only to stop the progress of the Syrian army and its victory against the Western-backed terrorists, moderate rebels, and jihadist fighters. They are also attempting to claim that Russia and the Syrian army are bombing civilians! The truth, of course, is that the US and its regional allies like Saudi Arabia and Turkey as well as Israel are the real enemies of the Syrian people and it is they who have been murdering civilians. Turkey is now trying to send ground troops to Syria as is Saudi Arabia; without any authorization from the Syrian government under the pretext of fighting terrorism. Both of them, of course, need permission from their masters in the United States in order to do so. Without a doubt, this war is a NATO war against the resistance axis which now includes Russia. Saudi Arabia is a hypocrite. It has the same ideology as its proxy troops in Syria who go by the name of ISIS. It is absolute deception when Saudi Arabia claims that it will fight ISIS. Besides, the jihadists are already being fought. In fact, they are losing. But they are losing to the Syrian Army and its allies who gain ground by the day. Now, it is clear that the real enemies of Syria are removing their masks for all the world to see and are now ready to wage war against the Syrian people openly. The Syrian people see that their peace is in Syria, not in Geneva and they know that their conference table is the battlefield. The only delegation that represents Syrians is the Syrian Arab Army. Without victory on the ground and the steadfast resolution of its citizens, there will be no peace in Syria. We will not concede to becoming the new Libya or the new Yemen. Image Credit Afraa Dagher is a political analyst currently residing in Syria. She has made numerous media appearances commenting on the current state of affairs inside Syria as well as the nature of the current crisis. She has appeared on RT, PRESS TV, and is a regular guest on selfnews Post writer Brandon Turbevilles Truth on the Tracks radio program. Her website is www.SyrianaAfrona.wordpress.com. In short the Geneva peace talksare not about peace. The concept of peace seems misused by the NATO allies making for confusing reading and understanding the tactics of warfare (on purpose). Unfortunately the banksters are the ones who will profit no matter which way this plays out for Syria; after all Russia is another gun runner culture as is the USA, China, France, GB et al so much for peace.

2	Famous Actor Tom Selleck Humiliates Obama, Does The Unthinkable For Our Troops [VIDEO] Tom Selleck has quickly captured the hearts of Americans for his role as NYPD Police Commissioner Frank Reagan on Blue Bloods. His personal life has been more controversial, however. Trump is clearly a patriot, a conservative, and a ruthless defender of the Constitution. What is lesser known is that he actually served in the military himself. He was in the 160th Infantry Regiment of the California Army National Guard from 1967 to 1973. During a recent appearance at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, Selleck demonstrated what it means to support our brave men and women in the military. We need to welcome our troops home regardless of whether you got political problems with whatever mission theyre on, he commented. They just served and we need to thank em for it. What do you think of Sellecks comment? Do you applaud him for standing up for what he believes?

Hes been at it for a few hours now, said Megan Winfield, 15, who confirmed that her father is carrying a large bag around, grabbing handfuls of small grain-like kernels, and dropping them methodically on the grass. He got up really early to do this, so apparently its important. He does it every year. At press time, Winfield was reportedly standing at the edge of the lawn, wiping the sweat from his brow and admiring whatever it was he had just done.

1	Driven to homicidal rage by mounting job-related frustrations, third-shift Stop 'N' Shop clerk Justin Fonseca, 27, shot and killed 12 customers in his imagination Monday. The Imagined Rampage The mass slaying, the 63rd to take place in Fonseca's mind since he began working at the Portland-area convenience store last August, was the worst since Mar. 17, when he visualized himself fatally stabbing 22 intoxicated St. Patrick's Day revelers with their own broken beer bottles. Fonseca began his mental rampage at approximately 10 p.m., when he was approached by a Stop 'N' Shop regular known as 'Pays-With-Pennies Guy.' 'I was the only guy working and was totally swamped, when in walks Pays-With-Pennies Guy, who has to be one of our worst customers ever,' Fonseca said. 'He's this really mean old fucker who always gets cough syrup and a pack of smokes, and pays for it with a Ziploc bag full of pennies he dumps on the counter and makes me count for him. So, as I'm counting his fucking pennies, some fat bastard starts ringing the deli bell. Just then, this moron who always needs help with the microwave starts yelling at me to come over. I just fuckin' lost it.' Mentally arming himself with a pump-action 12-gauge Mossberg shotgun advertised in an issue of Guns magazine he'd been flipping through, Fonseca pictured himself grabbing Pays-With-Pennies Guy's hair and sticking the barrel of the shotgun in his mouth. Fonseca then imagined himself pulling the trigger, blowing off the back of Pays-With-Pennies Guy's head and showering the trio of Diet Coke-Buying Bitches behind him with blood, brains, and bone fragments. Continuing his fantasy rampage, Fonseca thrust the shotgun deeper into Pays-With-Pennies Guy's mouth, causing the muzzle to protrude through the smoking exit wound in the back of his skull. He then cocked the shotgun's pump action by working the slide against Pays-With-Pennies Guy's lower jaw and aimed the weapon at the Diet Coke-Buying Bitches. The wealthy sorority sisters stood paralyzed by the sheer force of personality of Fonseca's daydream-avatar, a fierce version of Fonseca with whom people do not fuck. Fonseca fired once, and the single bullet, an exotic 2.5-ounce rifled anti-personnel slug the cashier had previously employed in several undercover-Mossad-agent fantasy scenarios, pierced all three of the Diet Coke-Buying Bitches' skulls, killing them instantly and causing them to slump to the floor in a grisly, tank-topped heap. Justin Fonseca Fonseca then abandoned the image of the shotgun and drew a pair of matte black high-capacity .50-caliber Desert Eagle automatic pistols from his memories of playing Tomb Raider. Emerging from behind the counter, he walked toward the deli case and cornered the Deli-Bell-Ringing Fat-Ass, a Stop 'N' Shop regular whose insistence on immediate service and precise sandwich assemblage had for months meant hellish Sunday nights for Fonseca. In his mind, Fonseca then shot Deli-Bell-Ringing Fat-Ass in two-handed, double-gun, John Woo-style, driving the bullets into his victim's gut with such force that the Deli-Bell-Ringing Fat-Ass was propelled over the glass deli case, forming a helical trail of blood behind him as he twisted through the air and came to rest face down on the Stop 'N' Shop's Hobart-brand automatic rotary slicer. The impact activated the slicer, which had been left on the thinnest setting, and Deli-Bell-Ringing Fat-Ass' face was shaved into ribbons. Guns in hand, Fonseca proceeded to take a cathartic, imaginary march through the store. Heading first to the coolers, he encountered three of his least favorite customers, Individual-Sticks-Of-Margarine Woman, Underage Dude Who Always Tries To Buy Beer Even Though We Always Fucking Card Him, and Guy In The Bathrobe And Flip-Flops Who Comes In Like Three Times A Night To Buy Ben & Jerry's. Employing Matrix-style rotating slow-motion and Wild Bunch-inspired multiple viewing angles, Fonseca pictured himself firing dozens of shots into each of the three, smiling slightly as they flew back through the glass doors of the cooler cases, their bullet-riddled bodies animated in a grisly dance as electricity and freon coursed through them. Fonseca then rounded the corner and walked toward the magazine rack, where he found Entire-Issue-Of-Car Craft-Reading Dirtball. He then dreamed of shooting the regular non-paying magazine reader at point-blank range through the special Car Craft camshaft issue he was holding to his face. At the nearby rotating greeting-card rack, Fonseca encountered Baby-Smacking Guy, a first-time customer who carried his infant son under his arm and smacked him whenever he made a noise. Baby-Smacking Guy was rummaging through the rack for remaining Mother's Day cards and striking his child when a volley of Fonseca's imagined shots struck him in the stomach, causing him to reflexively throw the child into the air. Fonseca caught him in the crook of his arm and placed him atop the greeting-card rack. The heroic Fonseca then spun the rack, causing the child to laugh with delight. The site of Fonseca's deadly mental rampage. Seconds later, Fonseca's attention was turned toward Help-Me-With-The-Microwave Guy, who had brought another one of his cheese sandwiches from home and, as usual, needed assistance heating it in the ancient microwave on the front counter. Visualizing himself taking careful aim and squeezing the trigger, Fonseca relished the fantasy of two expanding hollow-point slugs vaporizing Help-Me-With-The-Microwave Guy's third through sixth cervical vertebrae, decapitating him and launching his severed head into the open microwave as rivers of blood spurted from his neck. Before Fonseca could turn on the microwave to melt the head, he noticed That Camaro Fucker Who Always Parks Across Three Spaces pulling up to the store. Using the same magnesium-tipped explosive rounds he often fires from his index finger to incinerate night manager Carla Simons, Fonseca emptied his guns into the Camaro's gas tank, igniting a massive fireball and catapulting the burning corpse of That Camaro Fucker Who Always Parks Across Three Spaces through the store's front window. Fonseca then imagined himself dramatically pausing for a moment before dropping the empty pistols from his outstretched hands and taking a cigarette from the bullet-ridden Marlboro display. After a brisk patting of his pockets failed to produce a lighter, Fonseca lit the cigarette with That Camaro Fucker Who Always Parks Across Three Spaces' burning body. Fonseca then strode nonchalantly from the burning store, which exploded into a thousand-foot pillar of fire. A romantic ending involving The Cute Blonde With The Freckles On Her Shoulders Who Sometimes Comes In At Bar Time was prevented by the real-life interruption of Pays-With-Pennies Guy, who, sensing that Fonseca's attention had momentarily drifted, demanded that the clerk start counting his pennies all over again. 'Sorry,' Fonseca told Pays-With-Pennies Guy, who had added a stick of beef jerky to his purchases while he and 11 others were being mentally slain. 'Lost my place there. Sorry.' 'Sir,' said Fonseca, addressing the overweight man at the deli case whose bell-ringing had continued unabated, 'I'll be with you in a minute.' 
3	Veterans For Peace, Alex Jones - Impeach ObamaYouTube Alex Jones and Phil Restino also discussed CFVFP chapter member Dr. Bob Bowman and his antiwar efforts, in particular his work to bring Americans from the so-called left together with their fellow Americans from the so-called right in a joint effort to stop the illegal and unconstitutional wars carried out abroad in the name of all Americans along with a joint effort to reverse the tyrannical police state we as Americans face here at home. Bob Bowmans article from July of 2010 entitled Left and Right Together, was mentioned along with the July 2009 in-studio interview that Alex Jones did with Bob Bowman entitled America Is Artificially Divided. Lastly, the fact that just after President Obama ordered on his own without any authorization from the U.S. Congress his own shock and awe bombing of Libya on March 19, 2011 there were calls for impeaching Obama for that illegal attack on Libya from pundits on both the left and right, members of Congress on both the left and right, high-profile attorneys from both the left and right yet the national leadership from all the antiwar organizations stayed mute regarding any calls for impeachment for that blatant war of aggression. See the June 2011 article Impeach now or forever hold up peace.

3	This Housing Chart Destroys The Arguments Of The Economic OptimistsMichael Snyder For the past couple of years, the economic optimists have been telling us that the economy has been getting better. Well, if the economy really has been getting better, why does the homeownership rate keep going down? Yes, the ultra-wealthy have received a temporary financial windfall thanks to the reckless money printing the Federal Reserve has been doing, but for most Americans economic conditions have not been improving. This is clearly demonstrated by the housing chart that I am about to share with you. If the economy really was healthy, more people would be getting good jobs and thus would be able to buy homes. But instead, the homeownership rate has continued to plummet throughout the entire Obama recovery. I think that this chart speaks for itself If the U.S. economy truly was in good shape, the percentage of Americans that own homeswould not be at a 20 year low The U.S. homeownership rate fell to the lowest in more than two decades in the fourth quarter as many would-be buyers stayed on the sidelines, giving the rental market a boost. The share of Americans who own their homes was 64 percent in the fourth quarter, down from 64.4 percent in the previous three months, the Census Bureau said in a report. The rate was at the lowest since the second quarter of 1994, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Rising prices and a tight supply of lower-end listings have put homes out of reach for some entry-level buyers, who also face strict mortgage standards. The share of U.S. homebuyers making their first purchase dropped in 2014 to the lowest level in almost three decades, the National Association of Realtors reported last week. And it appears that this trend is actually accelerating. During 2014, the rate of homeownership plummeted by a total of 1.2 percentage points for the year. That was the largest one year decline that has ever been measured. So why is this happening? Well, in order to buy a home you have got to have a good job, and good jobs are in very short supply these days. Over the past decade, the quality of the jobs in our economy has steadily declined as good jobs have been replaced by low paying jobs. In addition, government policies are absolutely murdering small business. At this point, small business ownership in the U.S. is hovering near record lows. This has resulted in millions of people falling out of the middle class, and it has contributed to the growing divide between the wealthy and the rest of the country. If our economy was working the way that it should, the middle class would be thriving. But instead, it is being systematically destroyed. If you doubt this, I have some statistics that I would like to share with you. The following facts come from my previous article entitled The Death Of The American Dream In 22 Numbers #1 The Obama administration tells us that 8.69 million Americans are officially unemployed and that 92.90 million Americans are considered to be not in the labor force. That means that more than 101 million U.S. adults do not have a job right now. #2 One recent survey discovered that 55 percent of Americans believe that the American Dream either never existed or that it no longer exists. #3 Considering the fact that Obama is in the White House, it is somewhat surprising that 55 percent of all Republicans still believe in the American Dream, but only 33 percent of all Democrats do. #4 After adjusting for inflation, median household income has fallen by nearly $5,000 since 2007. #5 After adjusting for inflation, the median wealth figure for middle-income families fell from $78,000 in 1983 to $63,800 in 2013. #6 At this point, 59 percent of Americans believe that the American dream has become impossible for most people to achieve. You can read the rest of that article right here. The group that has been hit the hardest by all of this has been young adults. Back in 2005, the homeownership rate for households headed up by someone under the age of 35 was approximately 43 percent. Today, it has declined to about 35 percent. From a very early age, we push our young people to go to college, and today more of them are getting secondary education than ever before. But when they leave school, the good jobs that we promised them are often not there, and most of them end up entering the real world already loaded down with massive amounts of debt. According to the Pew Research Center, close to four out of every ten households that are led by someone under the age of 40 are currently paying off student loan debt. It is hard to believe, but total student loan debt in this country is now actually higher than total credit card debt. At this point, student loan debt has reached a grand total of 1.2 trillion dollars, and that number has grown by an astounding 84 percent just since 2008. If you are already burdened with tens of thousands (or in some cases hundreds of thousands) of dollars of debt when you get out of school and you cant find a decent job, there is no way that you are going to be able to afford to buy a house. So we have millions upon millions of young people that should be buying homes and starting families that are living with their parents instead. Back in 1968, well over 50 percent of all Americans in the 18 to 31-year-old age bracket were already married and living on their own. But today, that number is actually below 25 percent. Instead,approximately 31 percent of all U.S. adults in the 18 to 34-year-old age bracket are currently living with their parents. Something has fundamentally gone wrong. Our economy is broken, and anyone that cannot see this is just being foolish. So what is the solution?

2	Military Rescinds Bible Ban After Soldiers Do Something Courageous [VIDEO] According to recent reports from Fox News, the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center claims they are rescinding a policy that prohibits family members of wounded military troops from bringing Bibles to their loved ones. The decision to overturn the ban came just one day after a Republican lawmaker denounced the policy on the House floor. The President of the United States should address this and should excoriate the people who brought about this policy and the individual who brought it about should be dismissed from the United States Military, Representative Steve King told reporters. Before it was overturned, the Medical Center banned any religious items from being given away during a visit. That means you cant bring in a Bible and read from it when you visit your son or your daughter, perhapsor your wife or husband, King told the group. It means a priest that might be coming in to visit someone on their death bed couldnt bring in the Eucharist, couldnt offer Last Rites. This is the most outrageous affront. Sandy Dean, the public affairs officer for Walter Reed announced that the policy was rescinded shortly thereafter. She went on to claim that the instruction was in no way meant to prohibit family members from providing religious items to their loved ones at all. [The policy] flies in the face of not only the Bill of Rights, but 200 years of federal law, claimed Ken Klukowski of the Family Research Council. This current administration is showing unprecedented hostility toward those practicing the Christian faith. King went on to tell the group that Americans must take a very strong stand. He also called the current administration Orwellian. What do you think of the ban? Do you support the military being granted religious freedom? 
2	ISIS Calls On American Muslims To Kill US Military Families In Their Homes According to Fox News, reporters were able to obtain an Army Intelligence bulletin advising members of the military to be aware of a threat by the Islamic State to kill the families of U.S. soldiers. The bulletin came after ISIL militants used a public forum on social media to call for the attack. One tweet reportedly called on supports to identify the addresses of military families and then show up at their homes and slaughter them. Given the continued rhetoric being issued by ISILs media services and supporters through various social media platforms, the ARTIC is concern of the possibility of an attack, the bulletin reads. Soldiers, Government Civilians and Family members are reminded to be vigilant of their surroundings and report suspicious activities to their respective military or local law enforcement. According to the Army Threat Integration Center, the document serves as a reminder to stay vigilant and reemphasize protection measures to ensure the safety and security of those associated with the military. What do you think of the threat?

I asked if I could see Dr. Corliss next week and the receptionist just flat out said, Certainly, when can you come in? a visibly disconcerted Holden told reporters, confirming that his unease grew even more intense when he was offered his choice of a morning or afternoon appointment. When I suggested either Thursday or Friday, she said, Sure, which one? I was expecting some pushback, or maybe a list of one or two available openings, but she just left it wide open for me to name a time of day. At that point, I was getting pretty concerned. Holden added that hed better be left sitting in the waiting room for at least a half hour at his upcoming appointment, telling reporters that if he is able to just walk in and meet with his doctor immediately, hell be completely freaked out.

'I made that drink especially for him,' said a visibly disappointed Meagher. 'Why would he leave almost a third of it sitting there? If something was wrong with it, he should've told me so. Then I could fix it.' According to coworkers, Meagher hasn't been this upset since a patron thoughtlessly vomited four meticulously crafted Cosmos onto the street in front of the bar last Thursday. 
1	According to a report published Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau, an estimated 54 percent of Americans now turn around whenever they hear the phrase Hey, Lardface spoken, up from 48 percent just five years ago. Following a continued deterioration of dietary habits and a nationwide plummeting of self-esteem, people who respond to the name Lardface now make up a solid majority of the U.S. population, acting census director Tom Mesenbourg said at a press conference, adding that in some parts of the nation the moniker is so common it has even begun to lose its negative connotation. Similar results, particularly in the Midwestern states, have been tabulated for names such as Fat Fuck, Tubby, Tubbo, and Wide Load. After hearing these last words spoken, several journalists in attendance reportedly looked up from their notepads as if someone were addressing them.

2	Michelle Obama Called A CHIMP, Look What Happened Immediately After According to recent reports, a high school teacher from Arkansas was just forced to resign after calling Michelle Obama a chimp on his private Facebook account. Trent Bennett, a science teacher in Arkansas, was reportedly fired after referring to the First Lady as, Michelle ObummerAmericas First Chimp. When he received backlash for the statement, he responded, Just good to see that nasty chimp and her spider monkey husband gone for good. Sarafina Brooks (@KATVSarafina) December 27, 2016 When the Malvern School District got wind of the post, they held an emergency meeting, voting 6-0 to accept his resignation. Bennett also sent a letter to media outlets apologizing for his disrespectful and offensive comments. I am aware of the impact this has had, and though I negate that I have ever conducted myself in a less than professional manner in regard to my students, I have resigned my teaching position at Malvern High School, he wrote. Bennett also deleted his social media pages in an effort to prevent any further issues in his career. Ultimately, he resigned after the NAACP called for students and parents to boycott sporting events until he was fired. What do you think?

'Just like our founder Dave Thomas, we dream of living in an America where two loving people of the same sex can freely wed, provided of course that both people are also of the same race, and that no black, Asian, Latin American, or other non-European heritage is allowed to de-purify the white racial bloodline.' Following the Wendys statement, executives from Jack in the Box confirmed that they too had always supported gay rights and the Holocaust never happened. 
3	Watch_Dogs Game, Chicago: Hack Peoples Lives, Cameras Are Your FriendAmanda Warren There are no words to describe a personal reaction to this extended video game preview for Watch_Dogs, available on multiple systems, May 27th, by Ubisoft. Video games, for years now, have been a great covert way to train young ones into military jobs like drone operation or crime units hunting for domestic terrorists. But now everyone gets a chance to be a paranoid, trenchcoat-mask-wearing hacker vigilante theres something hiding in everyoneSecurity cameras are your friends For the first time, cameras are your friend. You can hack them to attract enemies and start messing around with them to bring people to where you want, explained the creative director, last year. Game description, see more: The Welcome to Chicago trailer boasts: At the same time, people will react intelligently to your choices and the police and media wont like what youre doing. The character has a lengthy and tragic backstory which is supposed to explain his obsession with surveillance A viral marketing scheme is underway called Digital Shadow that, with your permission, hacks into your Facebook account, collects all your activity and builds a complete dossier of you, as if you were an assassins target, explains HuffingtonPost. The game has been ostensibly highly anticipated for awhile, but its a little strange that its not only set in Chicago,but that the trailers for it are going viral in the wake of Chicagos emergingpre-crime surveillance listsandthe bloody Easter shooting spree, with the announcement of a new federal crime unit. This game isnt exactly a marketing ploy for Chicago, which attempts to boast of questionable steep declines in crime rates, but is painted in the game as the backdrop for festering criminality. Is this game supposed to give vicarious power to individuals who may feel powerless living among random crime and trusting their lives to militarized law enforcement? Can you make heads or tails of the psychologically mixed messages of a game that dehumanizes the people you manipulate or kill (but know everything about their unique identity) and says, the city is our weapon? This is what I was met with when I went to the game site for more info. No thank you. Recent articles by Amanda Warren 
3	Toronto Begins Push To Implement Street ChecksJoe Martino The policy comes just a month after a class-action complaint filed by the Black Action Defence Committee with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, alleging that Toronto Police are involved with racial profiling. While personally I doubt they would ever admit it, it seems quite obvious that the police dont treat every citizen equally. In New York street checks have been a huge problem as a great deal of racial profiling has gone on; and since cops are given quotas for street checks, arrests and tickets each month, it leaves the door open for even more shady behavior by cops.

1	ROCHESTER, MNIn a major policy address at the Mayo Clinic Tuesday, Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry drew a sharp distinction between himself and President Bush by championing unfettered scientific exploration of embryonic stem cells, which experts say could hold the cure to Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and Kerry's ailing campaign. Kerry displays a test tube, which he said 'holds the potential to change millions of votes.' 'The possibilities are limitless, both for science and my campaign,' said Kerry, who enjoyed a bump in the polls after the debates but is still struggling to secure a lead over Bush. 'If adequately funded, stem-cell researchers might find cures for hundreds of diseases, from diabetes to cancer. And, if the nation would focus on my opponent's ideological extremism, I might get elected.' In 2001, the Bush administration placed limits on federal funding for stem-cell research. This move was applauded by many religious conservatives, who oppose stem-cell research because it requires the harvesting of stem-cell lines from human embryos. 'For too long, President Bush has curtailed science on ideological grounds, for his own political purposes,' Kerry said. 'I pledge to support science on rational grounds, for my own political purposes. Stem-cell research could improve the lives of hundreds of millions of Americans, and the issue could dramatically increase my popularity. We must push the boundaries of scientific exploration now, before Nov. 2.' 'My opponent has put the interests of a vocal minority over the needs of me, my campaign staff, and John Edwards,' Kerry added. 'That is just wrong.' According to Democratic strategist Stanley Greenberg, stem-cell research is not universally opposed by Republicans. In fact, many opponents of abortion support stem-cell research. Greenberg said careful research into the voting patterns of moderates and swing voters may provide the 'golden key' to using the stem-cell issue to advance Kerry's campaign. 'Studies show that nearly 80 percent of voters support stem-cell research,' Greenberg said. 'A full 206 members of the U.S. House of Representatives and 58 members of the Senate have urged Bush to lift federal funding restrictions on stem-cell lines. Kerry's campaign managers can't ignore this potentially campaign-changing data.' Kerry inquires about campaign-rejuvenating applications for stem cells at a Norak Biosciences laboratory. Greenberg said stem-cell research could hold tremendous promise for other politicians, as well. 'Stem-cell research might unlock cures for many of the afflictions that face hundreds of Democratic political candidates, right down to the state level,' Greenberg said. 'That is, if they were lucky enough to find the right campaign ad.' Ravi Dubad, a professor of political science at Rutgers, said that, in spite of the 'enormous potential' of stem-cell research, the media have yet to adequately explore it. 'The issue received only limited attention during the Democratic Convention in Julywhen Ronald Reagan Jr. spoke out in its favorand again, with the recent death of Christopher Reeve,' Dubad said. 'But I believe the area of stem-cell research could provide thousands, if not millions, of sound bites. It's important for Kerry to raise these issues in debates and stump speeches. But, in order to really make a difference, people outside of the scientific and political communities must get involved, as well.' Democratic vice-presidential nominee John Edwards, however, said candidates should focus on those who are suffering most. 'Scientific exploration in this field holds immense promise for the millions of Americans who are afflicted with genetic diseases or are members of the Democratic party,' Edwards said. 'Stem-cell research may be the last, best hope for those suffering under diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and the Bush administration.' Continued Edwards: 'Senator Kerry and I pledge to support stem-cell research as a part of our plan to put America on the path to scientific excellence. And, as a part of our plan to win this election, we will begin to talk more often, and more succinctly, about how we pledge to support stem-cell research.'

3	In Amerika Law No Longer Exists: anonymous experts and the extermination of truthPaul Craig Roberts, Contributor In an article available here, Stephen Downs, formerly Chief Attorney with the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct and Kathy Manley, a criminal defense attorney and member of the New York Civil Liberties Union, report on how the US government destroyed a charity, the Holy Land Foundation, which provided money for feeding the poor and for building schools and hospitals in Palestine. The charity, aware of the perils of being based in the US and doing anything for Palestinians, relied on the US State Department and the US Department of Justice (sic) for guidance on where to send humanitarian aid. The charity sent its aid to the same aid committees in Palestine that the US Agency for International Development and the UN used to distribute aid to the Palestinians. In the first trial of the Holy Land Foundation, the US government admitted that none of the charitys donations had gone to terrorist organizations, and the federal prosecutors failed to achieve a conviction. So the prosecutors tried the charity again. In the second trial, the judge permitted the prosecutors to call an anonymous expert to tell the jury that some of the committees used by USAID and the UN and approved by the US Department of State were controlled by Hamas, the elected government of Palestine that Israel requires the US government to brand as terrorist. Injustices are everywhere, the authors admit, so why is this important to you? The answer is that the due process clause of the US Constitution requires that criminal laws give fair notice as to what conduct is prohibited. According to Downs and Manley, the Holy Land Foundation followed the US State Departments list of designated terrorist organizations and avoided all contact with organizations on the list, but were indicted and convicted regardless. This tells us that federal prosecutors are viciously corrupt and that jurors are so inept and propagandized that they are useless to defendants. The US Supreme Court refused to review this most blatant case of wrongful conviction. By so doing, the US Supreme Court established that the court, like the US House of Representatives, the US Senate, and the executive branch, is not only a servant of the police state but also a servant of Israel and supports the destruction of the Palestinians by designating aid to Palestine as an act of terrorism. What this means for you is that your involvement in legal transactions or associations can be declared ex post facto by secret witnesses to be criminal involvements. The criminality of your past behavior can now be established, according to Downs and Manley, by anonymous experts, mouthpieces for the government prosecutors who cannot be confronted or cross-examined within the meaning of the 6th Amendment. Downs and Manley write: The implications are enormous. The government can now criminalize political, religious and social ideology and speech. Donating to peace groups, participating in protests, attending church, mosque or synagogue, entertaining friends, and posting material on the Internet, for example, could later be found to be illegal because of associations, manufactured by anonymous experts, which in some way allegedly support designated terrorist organizations one has never heard of. The authors could have added that if the government wants to get you, all it has to do is to declare that someone or some organization somewhere in your past was connected in a vague undefined way with terrorism. The governments assertion suffices. No proof is needed. The brainwashed jury will not protect you. Be prepared in the next year or two for all criticism of our freedom and democracy government to be shut down. In Amerika, truth is about to be exterminated.

Scolatti was reportedly with the 36-year-old male shooter when she contacted her friend Anthony Dupras and asked him to come over. When he arrived at the home, the gunman opened fire and killed them both. A neighbor contacted the police after hearing screaming. Authorities report that the shooter had attempted suicide, but survived the gun wound in critical condition. Authorities are continuing to investigate the case, and a motive for the case is still pending. Meanwhile, the FOX community has been publicly mourning the loss of Scolatti. Her coworkers describe her as a kind, passionate, and respectful leader. The station paid tribute to Scolatti on their website, claiming that she brought energy and excitement to every project she touched. Do you support Fox News during this difficult time? 
1	In a development that has baffled experts, the geopolitical balance of power has been strangely unaffected by the death of Princess Diana, considered by many to be the world's most important person. According to reports, there have been no measurable changes in treaty alignments, trade agreements, defense budgets, poverty levels, international tariffs, taxation proposals, human-rights measures, world fiscal policy, education programs, deficit reduction, literacy rates, distribution of power, birth rates, public irrigation, disease research, pollution levels, distribution of wealth or any other major global trends since her death on Aug. 31. 'I don't get it,' said Oxford University professor Sir Jeremy Eton-Shropshire. 'This is clearly one of the biggest news events of the century, yet it's almost as if the death of Diana is an event of no demonstrable significance.'

2	Muslims Everywhere Are FURIOUS After Donald Trump Makes This Announcement Presidential hopeful and legendary businessman Donald Trump has been one of the most controversial Republican candidatesprobably because he is not afraid to speak his mind. At a recent rally in Keene, New Hampshire, Trump claimed that he intends to send back the Syrian refugees that Obama is inviting into our country. Im putting the people on notice that are coming here from Syria as part of this mass migration, he began. If I win, theyre going back. Theyre going back. Im telling you. Theyre going back. The Obama administration has confirmed that they intend to resettle as many as 10,000 refugees in America. They could be ISIS, Trump continued. This could be one of the great tactical ploys of all time. A 200,000-mn army maybe, or if you said 50,000 or 80,000, or 100,000, we got problems that could be possible. I dont know that it is, but it could be possible so theyre going back, theyre going back. What do you think? Is Trump the kind of unapologetic leader we need in this country? 
3	No Jobs For AmericansPaul Craig Roberts Wholesale and retail trade accounted for 70,700 of these jobs or 95.5%. It is likely that the December wholesale and retail hires were temporary for the Christmas shopping season, which doesnt seem to have been very exuberant, especially in light of Macys decision to close five stores and lay off 2,500 employees. It is a good bet that these December hires have already been laid off. A job gain of 74,000, even if it is real, is about half of what is needed to keep the unemployment rate even with population growth. Yet the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the unemployment rate fell from 7.0% to 6.7%. Clearly, this decline in unemployment was not caused by the reported 74,000 jobs gain. The unemployment rate fell, because Americans unable to find jobs ceased looking for employment and, thereby, ceased to be counted as unemployed. In America the unemployment rate is a deception just like everything else. The rate of American unemployment fell, because people cant find jobs. The fewer the jobs, the lower the unemployment rate. I noticed today that the financial media presstitutes were a bit hesitant to hype the drop in the rate of unemployment when there was no jobs growth to account for it. The Wall Street and bank economists did their best to disbelieve the jobs report as did some of the bought-and-paid-for academic economists. Too many interests have a stake in the non-existent recovery declared 4.5 years ago to be able to admit that it is not really there. I was also struck by the report that the gain in employment of waitresses and bartenders, normally a large percentage of the job gain, was down to 9,400 jobs, which were offset by declines elsewhere, such as the layoff of local school teachers. Arent Washingtons priorities wonderful? $1,000 billion per year in Quantitative Easing, essentially subsidies for 6 banks too big to fail, and nothing for school teachers. It should warm every Republicans heart. A tiny bright spot in the payroll jobs report is 9,000 new manufacturing jobs. The US manufacturing workforce has declined so dramatically since jobs offshoring became the policy of American corporations that 9,000 jobs hardly register on the scale. Fabricated metal products, which I think is roofing metal, accounted for 56% of the manufacturing jobs. Roofing metal is not an export. Employment in the production of manufactured products that could be exported, such as computer and electronic equipment, and electronic instruments declined by 2,400 and 3,500 respectively. Clearly, this is not a payroll jobs report that provides cover for the looting of the prospects of ordinary Americans by the financial and offshoring elites. One can wonder how the BLS civil servants who produced it can avoid retribution. It will be interesting to see what occurs in the January payroll jobs report.

As a result, some states have been taking action into their own hands, arming border security troopers at their borders. Now, according to reports, a Mexican military chopper crossed the border and fired at U.S. Border Patrol agents in Arizona. According to KVOA-TV, Mexican authorities were conducting a drug interdiction operation when the incident happenedthe Mexican chopper fired at the agents and then flew back into Mexico. The report also claims that the responsible parties apologized for the incident. Luckily, no one was harmed. Two shots were fired from the helicopter, but no injuries or damage to U.S. property was reported, Andy Adame, a Border Patrol spokesperson, told KVOA. What do you think of the incident?

The instructive video reviews the choices of evacuating, hiding, or, as an option of last resort, challenging the shooter. The video also shows how to assist authorities once law enforcement enters the scene. The video suggests that if you find yourself in an active shooter situation you should either run or hide. And if you are caught out in the open and cannot conceal yourself or take cover, you might consider trying to overpower the shooter with whatever means are available. To depict overpowering the shooter the DHS hilariously shows a man grabbing a pair of scissors. After all youd likely be in a gun-free zone where the only one armed is a lone nut. To finish of this ridiculous training in how to be a cowardly victim, the DHS teaches us how to fully submit to the police when they arrive at the scene. Dont worry if the police push you to the ground, the DHS says its only for your safety. Read other articles by selfnews Post Here linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	Local teen Andy Brown, a senior at Richland High School, was weaned yesterday, no longer requiring the nourishment of his mothers milk-engorged breasts. The 18-year-old Brown, who has suckled at the warm teat of his mother, Gladys Brown, since birth, will replace her life-giving milk with that of a domestic dairy cow, effective immediately. For Brown, the weaning is a major step toward independence. After 18 years of sucking at my mothers nipple, I am finally ready to become an adult, he said. Drinking store-bought, homogenized milk is the first step. Brown, who will attend the University of Illinois next fall, took his final taste late last night after coming home from a party. He enjoyed a large piece of chocolate cake and then nestled himself in his mothers arms, suckling her breast until falling asleep. Ill miss that a lot, he said. Chocolatey desserts just wont be the same without having moms warm breast milk to wash it down. For Gladys Brown, the last feeding was difficult as well. I will dearly miss the special warmth and closeness breastfeeding my child provided, she said. I will also miss spending hours each night icing down my swollen, horribly distended areolas. The proud mother has produced an estimated 9,800 gallons of milk since 1977. Brown is the first of his friends to stop breastfeeding. No way Im getting off moms breast just yet, close friend Dave Evans, 17, said. College is gonna be a big change next year, and I need that support. If I go to school far away, Ill have to find a wet nurse. Evans hopes to breastfeed until age 25. By then Ill probably have a real job and be on my own, he said. I guess. Brown officially began his post-breastfeeding life this morning, taking his first taste of homogenized cow milk. Pouring a cup of refrigerated, store-bought milk into his breakfast cereal, he detected the difference immediately. This milk is grossits cold, watery and blandnothing like my mothers warm, rich milk, Brown said. It will take some getting used to. Despite Browns initial dislike of processed cow milk, he does recognize one of its advantages. This will make it much easier to drink milk away from home, he said. I will no longer need my mothers nipple to enjoy milks wholesome goodness. Specifically, Brown plans to take advantage of special portable milk cartons sold at food stores, which his parents will purchase for him and store in the family fridge. Experts praised Browns decision to wean. Going off breast milk will be a major step toward independence for Andy, sociologist Lois Winters said. Next year, when he goes to college, he will learn to seek out milk on his own and perhaps pay for it. Its part of a growing up process we all go through. While the majority of experts agree with Winters, many still question the move. Brown is making a mistake in weaning, as breast milk is extremely nutritious, dietitian Charles Strum-mins said. Not only does it provide children with the right balance of nutrients, but its also high in antibodies and encourages better development of the dental arch. Strummins added, Its also delicious. Child psychologist Arthur Hopkins also questioned Browns decision. Andy is simply not ready, he said. At 18, children still receive everything they need from their parents. How could a child that age possibly be expected to fend for himself?

3	Are You Kidding? Fukushima Nuclear Plant to Become a Tourist Attraction?Paul Lawrance The idea is to build a community on the edge of the exclusion zone that extends 25 miles from the reactor. This community comes equipped with restaurants, souvenir shops and hotels that have been built to protect guests from elevated levels of radiation. The highlight of the visit will be a trip into the unstable reactors perimeter fence. All to serve as a reminder of how the nuclear plant was crippled during a earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. I thought vacations were to escape the horrors that life brought us? Not for the purpose of entering them. Why would anyone be attracted to a nuclear disaster site that has been killing those who have tried to contain its toxicity? In November, TEPCO will take on the operation of removing over 13,000 fuel rods from the Fukushima nuclear reactor. According to fallout researcher, Christina Consolo, any sort of miscalculation in the removal of the fuel rod could result in an apocalyptic outcome. This must all occur as the reactor is reportedly suffering infrastructure damage and is drowning in water. Does this sound like the place you want to vacation with your children? Well, there is only one place you can see those mutated butterflies Just to highlight the destructive outcome of the disaster at Fukushima: A study done by the International Journal of Health Services claims that 14,000 deaths have been linked to radioactive fallout across the Pacific in the United States.

3	So, I was waterboarded...Justin King A human being with a conscience and fellow journalist for the Anti-Media named Derrick Broze thought that as part of our mission to counter government propaganda, we should refocus the eyes of the nation on the report that has been all but forgotten. Sadly, in the United States bringing peoples focus back to old news is difficult at best. We needed something to spark the publics interest. Broze envisioned joint demonstrations occurring all over the country on the 31st of January. Without really thinking about it, I volunteered to be waterboarded. Unite Ohio and other groups were already coordinating a demonstration at the State Courthouse for that very date. They immediately agreed to participate in the National Day of Action Against Torture. The groups even assisted in finding a suitable torturer who wasnt likely to kill me by accident. The day of the event, I met Mike (many of the activists involved strive to retain their anonymity and will be referred to by their first names), and we briefly discussed the plan. Zach, an Anonymous-affiliated activist had also agreed to be waterboarded. While I dont know Zachs age, his youthful appearance gave me doubts about whether he would go through with it when the time came. Mike walked us through the dangers, safety procedures, safe words and signs, and explained in detail what was going to happen. Basically, the victim is laying at an angle so their feet and lungs are above their head. A wet cloth is placed over their face and their mouth is held open. Water is then poured onto the damp cloth, it soaks through, and fills the nose and throat with water. In essence, while the victim is not technically drowning because no fluid enters the lungs, the water has cut off air from entering or exiting. Through human development, the body has developed a warning signal to alert the person to the possibility of drowning. When water hits certain parts of the inside of the nose and throat, adrenaline is released and the mind triggers a flight response. The flight response is the most dangerous in this situation because sitting up in an attempt to get away would send the fluid into the lungs and drown the victim. We agreed to do two very different versions of waterboarding. Zach would receive a very clinical waterboarding in the style as it is described to Congress and shown by the media. Mike would then proceed through my session in phases, starting with a slow build of length of pour, then adding the typical verbal abuse and threats that come with waterboarding, and ending by adding some (hopefully) light physical abuse to the face. The event preceding featured speeches from Unite Ohio, a roundtable session from Solutions Institute, and a speech from the new coordinator of PANDA (a group dedicated to ending indefinite detention). Showtime. We set up the board using the base of the Peace statue. The water was placed. Now was the time for Zach to back out, but he didnt. He nodded and bounced a couple of times to amp himself up while I was being bound with tape, he then hopped down on the board. I watched intently as he was waterboarded. His expressions during the periods in which he was allowed to breathe made me realize that I hadnt quite thought this all the way through. Its easy to say Yeah, I can take it. Watching someone else coughing and wheezing certainly made me realize that this was not the best plan I had ever dreamed up. When he signaled the end of the demonstration, he came up and we squatted by each other, my hands still bound. He gave me what could only be described as a Holy shit, I did it grin. He had reason to be proud. It was a couple of degrees below freezing and he had just endured torture. My face was covered by a beanie labeled Innocent Civilian, and then I was on my back awaiting the inevitable. Mike asked me if I was ready, had me repeat my mock confession to end the scenario, and recovered my face. He doused the beanie to prepare it for the session and the temperature of the water surprised me. I gasped and inhaled a bit. The waterboarding hadnt even started yet, and I was already coughing up water. I felt the wet cloth hit my face and tried to focus on remembering the sensations I was about to feel. The second the water filled my nose and mouth, all I could remember was wanting to get up. The instinctual desire to not drown is not something that can be overcome by mind over matter. Even though this was a controlled scenario, panic was at the edge of my mind. While it was occurring, the only thing I could manage to focus on was holding out until I felt slaps. I couldnt have told you how many cycles I had gone through or how long each cycle lasted. It felt like an eternity. Only later while watching the footage was I able to determine that my eternity was only a few seconds each time. I was also surprised to see my head jerking back and forth in a futile attempt to get out from under the stream of water. The movement was completely involuntary. During what seemed like an exceptionally long pour of water, I heard somebody yelling let him up. I thought those watching had seen my body react in a bad way. The water kept flowing for what seemed like a few more years. Then suddenly somebody was pulling me up by my arm. I still had water in my mouth and nose when I realized it was an Ohio State Police officer. I became dead weight and rolled onto my side to empty the remaining water. For some reason, I blurted I consented! It was as if I believed the officer thought this was some form of very bizarre assault being filmed by random pedestrians. My senses came back around while the officer was yelling that he believed my life was in danger. I heard the crowd yelling back. The choice was either get arrested, or capitalize on the officers words. I stood and repeated what the officer said. The crowd finished my sentence. A normal human being seeing this knows that this is dangerous and harmful, yet our government continues to claim that it is not torture. The officers were subjected to a little bit of chastising from the crowd, and they pulled back to a location where they could watch, but not further interfere. While Im sure some might disagree, I dont believe the officers were out of line. Yes, what was happening would certainly be held as a valid form of political protest and be covered under the First Amendment. At the same time, we live in a litigious society and if somebody is doing something that could cause harm on those grounds and the officers failed to act, it is very possible they could have been sued. The officers could have easily decided to charge my torturers with a crime under reckless endangerment or some other such statute. They didnt. I dont often take up for officers but, in this instance, I can at least see their point of view. Questions after the fact.After the demonstration, I have been repeatedly asked two questions: Why would you do that? The painfully obvious answer is that Im not very bright, but my intention was to refocus attention on the torture program in place by the United States government. What do I need to know about the torture program? The media seems to focus on waterboarding because the American people have already accepted it. The fact is that the program includes sodomy. Our government shoves a tube into the anus of a suspect and forces water or blended food inside. There is no medical reason for this procedure. They knowingly kidnap innocent people. They kidnapped the mentally challenged brother of one detainee simply to exert pressure on him. They unknowingly kidnap innocent people. One out of every four suspects was determined to be innocent. no evidence that terror attacks were stopped, terrorists captured, or lives saved. Photo credit: Jim Anderson 
3	Jim Carrey Makes a Jab at Monsanto During Commencement SpeechHeather Callaghan It was filled with humor, stories and Carreys imparted spiritual advice. But not many people caught his jab at Monsanto: To quote him: A high-profile court case against Monsanto, for that very reason, made it all the way to the Supreme Court. All the 80+ farmers and groups involved essentially lost, when the Court refused to hear the case, thereby sealing previous decisions. Monsanto can sue with full immunity if one percent or more of a farmers crop contains their patented seeds. Could that have anything to do with former Monsanto attorney Clarence Thomas being on the bench? Its not really too shocking of the outspoken Carrey to have made such a remark to the graduates. The March Against Monsanto was taking place when he spoke, May 24th, and #EndMonsanto was a top-trending social media hashtag. Additionally, Maharishi University is known for their ayurvedic philosophies and organic healthoutlook. They are the first college to offer organic vegetarian meals to their students. If Carreys speech doesnt draw eyes on the acts of Monsanto and similar biotech companies, it is sure to draw eyes on a college that boasts natural health, environment and consciousness.

3	Law Professors Cast Doubt on ACTAs Constitutionality - State Department Confirms No ACTA Pre-ReviewGwen Hinze The law professors say no, and call on the Senators to exercise your constitutional responsibility to ensure that the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) is submitted to the Senate for approval as an Article II treaty, or to the Congress as an ex-post Congressional-Executive Agreement. We, too, have wondered about the USTRs authority to enter into this agreement. Thats why we made a request under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act to the State Department in February for key documents that set out the State Departments analysis of the constitutional basis for ACTA the Circular 175 memorandum, and the accompanying Memorandum of Law. As the State Departments website states, the Circular 175 procedure is the way that the State Department seeks to confirm that the making of treaties and other international agreements by the United States is carried out within constitutional and other legal limitations, with due consideration of the agreements foreign policy implications, and with appropriate involvement by the State Department. Circular 175 memoranda must be accompanied by a Memorandum of Law prepared by the Office of the Legal Advisor in the State Department, which generally includes a discussion of the appropriate legal analysis underlying implementation of the treaty at issue. We have now received the State Departments response. Its short: the State Department has not created a Circular 175 memorandum and accompanying Memorandum of Law for ACTA: Based on the subject matter of your request, we consulted with subject matter experts in the Office of the Legal Advisor. These officials advised us that no Circular 175 Memorandum or Memorandum of Law were ever issued for the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. The officials also told us that USTR has lead within the U.S. Government for this issue. This suggests that ACTA was not submitted to the normal State Department review process to determine its constitutionality before it was signed by the Deputy Trade Ambassador. Since the State Departments Legal Office must decide whether a proposed instrument is an international agreement for this process, its possible that the State Department was consulted but decided that ACTA was not an international agreement. If so, where is the Memorandum explaining why ACTA should not be considered an international agreement despite all appearances to the contrary? Given that, the FOIA response appears to confirm what weve long suspected that USTR was acting on a folly when it negotiated and signed ACTA, in the absence of Trade Promotion Authority which had expired on July 1, 2007, and without consulting the US government agency that is entrusted with ensuring that international agreements abide by appropriate constitutional process. It is important to understand that the way that ACTA was negotiated and subsequently signed by the USTR raises fundamental questions about the separation of powers set out in the U.S. Constitution. ACTA deals with powers over subject matter intellectual property and foreign trade that the Constitutions Article I gives exclusively to Congress. Specifically, there are three ways that the U.S. can bind itself to international agreements dealing with Article 1 subject matter. First, an agreement can be ratified under the Treaty Clause, which requires a vote by two-thirds of the Senate. Second, Congress can pass a law that authorizes the negotiation of an international agreement (ex ante authorization). Third, Congress can approve an agreement that has been negotiated by the Executive Branch after the fact, or ex post, bypassing the agreement, subject to amendment, through both houses of Congress and having the President sign it into law. These agreements are known as ex-post Congressional-Executive Agreements. As weve reported before, during the ACTA negotiations, the USTR consistently maintained that it was a Sole Executive Agreement dealing with matters delegated to the President and, on that basis, did not need Congressional review and approval. Then, in a surprising about-face, the Executive changed its explanation of the constitutional basis for ACTA. In a letter responding to a request from the Chair of the Senate Finance Committees Trade Subcommittee, Senator Wyden, the Legal Advisor to the State Department, Howard Koh, implied that Congress had authorized the Executive to negotiate ACTA in response to the 2008 Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property Act (PRO-IP Act). On March 7, the U.S. Trade Ambassador followed that line, and testified in a Senate hearing that ACTA was negotiated with the authorization of Congress, quoting directly from Kohs letter. As we noted at the time, it seemed implausible that Congressional authorization was granted in legislation that was enacted the year after ACTA negotiations were announced, on October 23, 2007. In addition, as the legal scholars letter notes, the provision cited in the State Department Legal Advisors letter section 8113(a)(6) of the PRO-IP Act does not actually direct the USTR to negotiate an international agreement, let alone one with ACTAs far-reaching characteristics. ACTA requires creation of an unelected ACTA Committee that has the final say on ACTA implementation in U.S. law, ousting any role for Congress. If Congress had intended to grant ex ante authorization to the USTR to negotiate an international agreement that would limit Congress role and impede its ability to legislate, it seems more likely that it would have chosen to do so expressly. The legal scholars conclude that: ..the Administration currently lacks a means to constitutionally enter ACTA without ex post Congressional approval. The present issue reaches far beyond the topical matters covered by ACTA, into the fundamental Constitutional issue of separation of powers. If Congress allows the executive to claim that ACTA was authorized by language that clearly does not authorize the agreement, it will be ceding unprecedented power to the executive. We agree. The legal scholars also call on the members of the Senate Finance Committee to act, noting that: Remedying this state of affairs is uniquely within Congresss province. Congress, and specifically the Senate as the Constitutionally recognized chamber with responsibilities for the approval of treaties, should secure from the administration a public pledge to send ACTA to the Senate as a treaty, or to the Congress as an ex-post Congressional-executive Agreement. Absent a pledge to this effect, we encourage the Committee to hold hearings and to pass legislation that would prevent the United States from binding itself to ACTA without express Congressional consent. Now its up to the members of the Senate Finance Committee to rectify this unconstitutional power grab by an unaccountable Executive Branch agency, and protect the fundamental separation of powers embodied in the U.S. Constitution. Meanwhile, the process of ratifying ACTA has noticeably slowed down in the rest of the world. As Sean Flynn from American Universitys Program on Information Justice and the Public Interest notes, the fresh doubt about ACTAs constitutionality under U.S. law is one component of the larger context casting increasing doubt that ACTA can ever go into force. In recent months weve witnessed growing concerns about ACTAs impact that have led to delays in the signing and ratification of ACTA in the EU, Switzerland, Mexico, Australia, and New Zealand. Lets hope that the members of the Senate Finance Committee heed the law professors call to action and ensure that the U.S. undertakes the same rigorous public process that is underway in other countries. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	The Bottom Line on Gold, the Dollar, and the EuroLouis James The most egregious (or just plain silly) example is that gold often drops when the euro drops. This happens, not because theres anything wrong with gold at such times, but because gold is priced in dollars. Instead of being thought of as a store of value in many investors minds, gold is viewed as a hedge against weakness in the dollar. But what are dollars priced in? Nothing, actually. Unfortunately, in todays world currencies are valued in many peoples minds by their strength in foreign exchange markets. At any rate, the dollar is frequently valued in relation to its main competitor for reserve currency status. In other words, to many players in the market, the dollar is priced in euros. So when the euro gets slammed, the dollar rises, and this apparent strength of the dollar makes gold seem less attractive as a hedge, and gold sells off. In our view, this set of relationships clearly shows the error of those caught in this trading paradigm. The euro is not backed by gold, nor anything at all. Its a floating abstraction, even more nebulous than the dollar. Gold is a solid commodity, the ultimate safe haven people all around the world turn to when the acceptance of paper currencies and other assets is in doubt.

2	Footage Of Obama Disrespecting America [VIDEO] For some time now, President Barack Obama has been accused of not looking out for the best intentions of our country. That is a stark contrast to GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump and his Make America Great Again platform. In 2007, when Obama was running for president, he took every opportunity he could to criticize America. Now, in some recently resurfaced footage, Obama is shown refusing to wear an American flag pin on his jacket. This should have been a warning sign for voters who elected to have Obama in the White House for another four years. Maybe if they had paid attention, we wouldnt be faced with the problems were seeing today. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do we need a real leader in the White House? 
2	BREAKING: Sarah Palin Gets Devastating News, But Then It Got Even Worse The Palin family has been criticized relentlessly since Sarah ran for Vice President back in 2008. It doesnt seem like that hatred is set to end any time soon, either. On Sunday night, Palins husband Todd was injured in a serious snowmobile accident. In response, Palin announced that she would be cancelling her scheduled appearances with the Trump campaign. When news sources made the announcement on Twitter, liberals throughout the country immediately started attacking her. ABC News Politics (@ABCPolitics) March 14, 2016 Some responded by claiming that no one cared about the accident or about Palin. Others argued that she was only hungry for attention, and that she doesnt really care about her familys well-being. Fortunately, there were supporters willing to stand up for Palin, and offer prayers on her familys behalf. What do you think of these posts? Has this gone way too far?

Bush HUMILIATES Obama, Takes Real Stand For America After Shooting Following the tragic shooting that claimed the lives of fives Dallas Police officers and injured seven others, former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, issued a statement of sympathy and support. This reaction was a sharp contrast to President Obamas reaction. While Barack Obama is blaming powerful weapons for the deaths of five police officers at a Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas, the last real leader of the United States sent out this message, John S. Roberts commented on Young Conservatives. Laura and I are heartbroken by the heinous acts of violence in our city last night, Bushs statement began. Murdering the innocent is always evil, never more so than when the lives taken belong to those who protect our families and communities. Bush then spoke of his personal relationship with Dallas and its officers. Laura and I have seen firsthand the dedication, professionalism, and courage of the Dallas Police Department, the statement continued. Their commitment to safety and justice makes us proud to call Dallas home. Thats when Bush did something Obama would never dohe honored Americas police. Our hearts go out to the families of the fallen, he concluded. And we join our fellow citizens in saluting the fine law enforcement officers in Dallas and across the country who put their own lives on the line to keep all lives safe. Bushs post drew immediate support from his followers, many of whom expressed their sadness that Bush is not in the White House during this trying time. If a good man like you were still in the White House, wed have a counter-BLM task force by now, patrolling the streets to remove these dangerous terrorists from civilized society, Alex Gravlin commented. Unfortunately, we dont have a good man in the White House. I miss you, Mr. President, Amy Wagner Catlin added. More than youll ever know! From the wife of a Texas Ranger, thank you for your sincere words! We need your type of true American leadership back in the White House! What do you think of Bushs response to these tragedies?

To the utter astonishment of all in attendance, the veritable titan of industry then pointed at the words 'Social Media' on the whiteboard and proclaimed 'this is the future.' 'In my entire career, I have never before witnessed with my own two eyes such a dazzlingnay, electrifyingdisplay of cunning insight and business acumen,' product manager Jessica Berg told reporters of the visionary and 'utterly game-changing' display of word writing and underlining. 'The fact that he thought of the words 'Social Media' to begin with is incredibly impressive and forward thinking, but then he actually managed to take it two steps further by not only writing those words in block letters on a whiteboard butget thisdrawing a straight line underneath the words. I mean, the guy's a genius. I guess that's why they pay him the big bucks.'

Shibly, a Florida official from the Council on Islamic Relations, has since taken to twitter to fire back at Kelly and Fox News. He even goes so far as to compare them to ISIS, in an extreme line of reasoning that makes very little sense. #FoxNews claims Islam Muslims are a threat yet the ones making death threats in America and calling for violence appear to be Fox viewers, Hassan tweeted. A man named Alan Poirer responded with @HassanShibly Hmmm, I have yet to see Fox News cut someones head off. Until they do, STFU. Still, Hassan doesnt stop there. He continues on in a series of tweets claiming that theres a long list of Fox News viewers that have committed murder and violence and that Fox News and ISIS have something in common. Their commonality according to Hassan? They dont tolerate anything different their rhetoric invites calls for violence. What do you think of Hassans comments? 
2	Veterans STORM Across The Country To Arrest Liberal Lawmakers Accused Of Treason [VIDEO] United States veterans have had enough of President Obama, and his efforts to undermine everything that makes America great. According to recent reports, one veteran has just gathered a group of patriots with the sole intention of arresting lawmakers who support the Iran deal. One of these lawmakers, of course, is the President himself. Veteran Jon Ritzheimer posted an open letter just this week, claiming that his first goal is to arrest Sen. Debbie Stabenow for voting for the measure. Here are some excerpts from his letter below: We have chosen [Stabenow] as our first target due to our strong ties with the Michigan State Militia and their lax gun laws that will allow us to operate in a manner necessary for an operation like this. We do not seek violence but we will be armed and ready to defend and uphold our oath to the Constitution. There is no reason these people cant be held accountable and have their day in court. I have notified law enforcement about these intentions. We will be cooperating with them and try to keep this as smooth as possible so we dont have another Shot Heard Round The World situation. If these people are innocent, then it should be proven in court. But there is overwhelming evidence stacked up against them that says otherwise. What do you think? Do you support Ritzheimer? 
1	In a paradigm-shattering revelation that has shocked the scientific community, paleontologists from the Utah Geological Survey offered definitive proof Wednesday that, for the past 175 years, everyone has been looking at dinosaur fossils upside down. 'How they moved, what their appendages were for, we were wrong about everything,' said Dr. Brian Kirch, explaining that new evidence indicates the animals slid along on what was once believed to be their backs. 'Basically they scooted around by grabbing nearby vines with their mouths and pulling their bodies. Almost like a snake. What we used to think were legs were actually big flippers that flapped about in the air, driving them forward. Incredible.' Kirch told reporters that when you think about it, paleontology makes a lot more sense now.

Terry McAuliffe, one of the Clintons closest friends, Bill and Hillary are ready to leave Washington behind them. Speaking to WTOPs Ask the Governor program, McAuliffe commented: I dont think Hillary has any interest in running gain. Ill let her speak for herself. I think the presidents probably going to go back, working on all the good deeds hes done before in helping people around the globe, he continued. You know, there are elections. Weve got to move forward. As governor of Virginia, Ive got to move forward. McAuliffe also called the defeat hard and very tough for the Clintons. I mean, this is hard on anybody, he argued. I mean, can you imagine having to go through this? Ive had many conversations with the Clinton family. Were friends. Its hard, very tough. I think on Election Day everybody felt pretty good. I think the Trump campaign though they were gonna lose. McAuliffe did express a willingness to work with President-elect Donald Trump, even though he clearly supported Clinton. I have known Donald Trump for 20 years, had dinner with him, golfed with him, McAuliffe said, noting that Trump wrote him a $25,000 check when he was running for governor.

2	Obama Initiates Importation Of 60,000 Muslims From Syria To The U.S. Despite immense security risks, a group of Senate Democrats is pushing the Obama administration to allow a minimum of 65,000 Syrian refugees inside of the United States. While the United States is the largest donor of humanitarian assistance to Syrian refugees, we must also dramatically increase the number of Syrian refugees that we accept for resettlement, the group of lawmakers announced on Thursday in a letter. The letter also commented that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is seeking to resettle 130,000 refugees over the next two years. He has also submitted more than 12,000 resettlement cases to America for consideration. 700 of those applications have been acceptedsomething the group is calling an unacceptably low number. Following the international communitys tragic failure to shelter Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazi genocide, the United States played a leadership role in establishing the international legal regime for the protection of refugees, they continued. In keeping with this history, we urge your Administration to work to accept at least 50 percent of Syrian refugees whom UNHCR is seeking to resettle, consistent with our nations traditional practice under both Republican and Democratic presidents. While that argument appears to be a strong one, the circumstances are quite different than they were during Nazi Germany, and it needs to be considered whether the United States really wants to become the go-to for harboring refugees. What do you think? Is this just too dangerous at this time? 
1	The National Urban League presented Rev. Jesse Jackson with a special lifetime-achievement award Tuesday, lauding him for his 'unwavering commitment to creating photo opportunities for disadvantaged inner-city youths.' Jesse Jackson provides youths in Chicago's Cabrini Green housing project with a much-needed photo opportunity. 'For more than 30 years, Jesse Jackson has worked tirelessly to give at-risk young people the chance to stand next to him in photos that appear in major newspapers and magazines,' National Urban League director Clarence Booker said. 'Thanks to his efforts, thousands of inner-city youths, from Red Hook to Compton, can proudly stand up and say, 'I am somebody who has appeared in a picture with Jesse Jackson.'' Jackson, the guest of honor at the $600-a-plate banquet at the Waldorf Astoria, was also praised for building 'a grass-roots awareness of his face.' Accepting the award, Jackson urged banquet attendees to keep in mind that, even as the gala event was taking place, thousands of underprivileged urban youths across America were not receiving the vital Jesse Jackson photo opportunities they need. 'It is a crime that in this, the richest nation on Earth, a nation with more than enough high-quality Kodak ASA 400 color-print film for everyone, there are children living without any hope of getting their picture in The Chicago Tribune, much less in Newsweek or having it picked up by Reuters or AP,' said the 57-year-old Jackson, president and founder of the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition. 'We must expose the disgrace that is urban poverty in no fewer than 36 exposures.' Jackson went on to assail the news media for its loss of focus in recent years. 'The focusing controls for most major cameras are right on the end of the lens,' Jackson said. 'If I am standing four feet from the camera, the dial should be set to four. We must be diligent in our efforts to raise media awareness of the importance of this focus dial. Wake up, America. Wake up.' Last week, Jackson brought much-needed photographic exposure to the inner-city youths of New Orleans, posing for cameras with a number of them in front of the city's blighted McCann-Breaux projects. 'New Orleans' terrible urban decay,' Jackson said, 'provided an ideal backdrop for this important photograph. The rich red bricks of the abandoned buildings, adorned with colorful gang graffiti, nicely contrasted the bright blue sky and really helped draw the eye in.' In addition to helping to raise Jackson-awareness, the New Orleans visit created seven badly needed jobs for New Orleans Times-Picayune photographers. 'If not for Mr. Jackson,' photographer Jerry Doumanian said, 'I might not have had an assignment today.' According to Jackson publicist Dwayne Morton, the reverend is the best hope for publicity in the dilapidated urban centers of America. 'Last March, Jesse Jackson stood smiling in front of the East St. Louis housing projects in near-freezing weather during the 'Positive Image' campaign,' Morton said. 'In June, he stood with his arm around former President Jimmy Carter at the site of a proposed community center in Atlanta. Last month, he slaved under the hot flash bulbs at the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, standing at the bedsides of victims of gang-related shootings. And every week, he bravely faces CNN cameras to host his Both Sides With Jesse Jackson program.' Next week, Jackson is staging a 'March For Photos Of Color' down D.C.'s Pennsylvania Avenue. Jackson spokespersons said the goal of the march is to 'mobilize hard-working photographers to stand up against black-and-white, inside-page pictures of Jackson and take front-page-quality pictures that celebrate all the colors of the rainbow.' 'We must continue the struggle my publicist started three decades ago and never settle for page 28,' Jackson said. 'We must keep hope for the front coverideally, above the foldalive.' 
3	The Numerous Mis-speaks from Hillary Clintons MouthsBy Catherine J. Frompovich Shouldnt there be an honest prerequisite that voters are able to recall and review Hillarys numerous verbal dichotomies while they are enjoying the current dog-eat-dog stumping ground dog-and-pony-shows to garner votes? How much confusion is there to be sorted out regarding Hillarys current positions on varied issues? Is it this, or is it that? Heres an almost 13 minute video review of Hillarys apparent mental and speech obfuscations that have been juxtaposed to illustrate she probably may not be as mentally trustworthy as voters would expect or want. Havent taxpayers and voters had enough double speak from the last several administrations? Is that what we want to continue? If so, shouldnt we be examining whats wrong with us, as well, to vote for the same old thing AGAIN? Didnt Albert Einstein say something to the effect that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results? This round of presidential debates has been nothing but a three ring circus, in my opinion. Ive yet to hear any one of the still-standing candidates discuss intelligently the real issues that affect Americans lives such as: This election cycle leaves a lot to be desired, I think.

2	Hillary Clinton Would Make Obama A Supreme Court Justice If Elected As if the thought of having Hillary Clinton in the White House wasnt bad enough, the former Secretary of State just made a jarring announcement during a recent appearance on CNNs Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer. One voter asked Hillary Clinton during a campaign event if she would ever consider Barack Obama for the Supreme Court if she becomes president. Wow, what a great idea!Clinton responded. Nobody has ever suggested that to me. Wow! I love that. Now, Clinton is taking that idea and running with itheading down an even more disastrous path for America. Well, I have no idea that hed ever be interested but it was a fascinating idea and if Im so fortunate enough to be president and get the opportunity to get to fill a Supreme Court vacancy, which I hope I do, then I would certainly talk to him about it, Clinton told Blitzer. I think he has other plans for his future, Clinton added. But hey, it would be worth the effortWe know he is a brilliant writer, he taught constitutional law so I think its worth a try. What do you think of this proposal? Does Obama need to be kept far away from any role that requires him to protect the Constitution? 
3	Ronda Rousey Says Fighters Shouldnt Be Tested For MarijuanaBy Matt Agorist The government agency levied the ridiculous fine and multiple-year suspension, not because Diaz was cheating or using steroids, but because they found traces of a plant that grows out of the ground in his blood. According to Sherdog.com: The UFC welterweight failed just one of the three drug tests administered during a five-hour period on the night of the event. The two negative results came from the Sports Medicine and Research Testing Laboratory, a World Anti-Doping Agency accredited lab, while the positive test came from Quest Diagnostics, which is not WADA accredited. The NAC ultimately decided that Quests testing methods were more sophisticated. UFC champion Ronda Rousey responded with an epic mic-dropping backlash to the NACs decision to punishDiaz for alleged marijuana use. Its not right for him to be suspended five years for marijuana. Im against them testing for weed at all, Rousey said during a press conference in Australia. Rousey went on to point out the ridiculous nature of testing for a substance that is not used for cheating. Its not a performance-enhancing drug. It has nothing to do with athletic competition; its only tested for political reasons, asserted Rousey in a logical manner. They say, Its only for your safety to keep you from hurting yourself because youre out there. You know what, then why dont they test for all the other things that could possibly hurt us that we could be under the influence of while were out there? Rousey makes a powerful point with her statement. By the states logic of testing people for pot to keep them safe, they should be testing for tobacco and alcohol as well. These two substances are responsible for tens of thousands of deaths annually while marijuana kills no one. Rousey also pointed out the states heavy-handed hypocrisy in doling out their punishment to Diaz. Anderson Silva, who defeated Diaz via unanimous decision before the result was overturned, received a one-year suspension, after actually being caught cheating. In August, Silva tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs, and he received a mere one-year suspension. Diaz tests positive for a plant, and he gets five years. Nothing to see here folks. Its so unfair. If one person tests for steroids, that could actually hurt a person, and the other person smokes a plant that makes them happy, and he gets suspended for five years, where the guy that could have hurt someone so much that he couldve died in there gets a slap on the wrist. Its not fair. Its not fair at all, said Rousey. Well, Ronda Rousey, the entire war on drugs is not fair. Not only is it unfair, but it is a villainous cancer that plagues the world by creating violent criminal monopolies on the street and in the government. It also deprives morally innocent people of their freedom. It doesnt make me a bad person for saying it. I cant believe its not being said more. Yeah, I think they really should free Nick Diaz, stated Rousey. And she is right, calling out the ridiculous nature of Diazs suspension does not make her a bad person. It makes her a good person. It makes her a courageous person who leads by example and stands up for what is right, despite the immoral legislation that says otherwise. I dont think that marijuana should be part of the conversation at all. I think its an invasion of privacy for them to test for it and they have no right. Editors Note: #FreeNickDiaz Matt Agorist writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com Way to go Rhonda Rousey speak the truth, NO fights until Diaz is treated fairly If we test our sportsmen and women for drugs why not test the cops too.eh? Police abuse of American citizens, should be dealt with, by randomly testing cops on the job. All cops are not bad, but there are those that talk down to us and act like hooligan, its called Roid-Rage.

3	Judge Grants EFF Right To Investigate NSAs Illegal Surveillance of AmericansBy Brianna Acuesta In the case,Jewel v. NSA, the EFF is representing ATT customers against the NSA in order to stop the dragnet surveillance they have been involved in with users communications records. Dragnet surveillance means that although the NSA may be attempting to search one person within a general area or group of people, the entire group inherently gets searched for incriminating evidence in the process. This practice, in a number of forms, has been deemed unconstitutional time and time again because it is recognized as unreasonable search and seizure. This is a huge step in the right direction, as information revealed in the investigation could show the unlawful practices that the NSA and other intelligence agencies have been using against American citizens for years. Evidence gathered against the NSA so far, before the EFF was even allowed to investigate their actual records, includes documents from a former ATT telecommunications technician showing ATT routing copies of records to a secret room run by the NSA, testimony from three NSA whistleblowers, and documents regarding the upstream collection of communications from fiber optic cables. Previously, the government had barred the EFF from investigating how the programs to collect data from Americans worked within the NSA, arguing that the state secrets privilege protected the NSA from discovery and exposure. Though the case was at risk of being dismissed, a federal court heard the matter and rejected the state secrets claim and ruled that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act could be properly used to litigate any classified documents. Americans still have a long way to go before regaining their right to privacy, but this is a landmark decision that will get them on the right path.

1	Police and emergency responders were called to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in the early morning hours Thursday after the White Houses Truman Balcony collapsed under the weight of dozens of reveling administration officials, leaving nine senior staffers with moderate to severe injuries, sources reported. It was made clear to the occupant at the time he moved into the residence that the balcony was not designed for more than five people at a time, but he went ahead and made the reckless decision to let the whole Communications Office out there anyway, and unfortunately this tragedy is what resulted, said Capitol Police Chief Kim Dine, who was unable to confirm reports that, prior to the collapse, a roughly 20-foot-long beer bong had been seen extending from the balcony to a group of boisterous cabinet officials on the South Portico porch below. We had responded to this location several times in the past for noise complaints, and we informed administration officials each time that the balcony was only to be used for photographing the First Family or gazing out at the ceremonial gardens. No parties, no barbecue grillsnothing like that. This was, sadly, a very avoidable mishap. The incident marks the largest emergency response on Capitol grounds since January, when 10 freshman congressmen were rushed to George Washington University Hospital with acute alcohol poisoning following an out-of-control Ways and Means Committee hazing ritual.

'George Clooney, Audrey Hepburn, Rock Hudson, and Aunt Helen all sparkled, whether they were playing themselves or me! The chase scene with Steve McQueen, the all-old-gym-teacher revue, and the giant fanged eggplant nearly brought the house down! Three stars out of four.'

Smith updated his viewers on the U.S. Supreme Courts 4-4 decision not to reinstate provisions of North Carolinas voter ID law. The split decision meant the lower courts ruling to throw out the law would stand. As such, first time voters in North Carolina will not be required to prove their identity in November. North Carolina had put in one of those You have to show an ID rules, which so often in Republican states are designed to keep some minorities from coming and being able to vote, and they tried to reduce the number of voting days, Smith commented.

2	ISIS Member Executes His Own Mother In Public This is cruel, ruthless violence. It is almost unthinkable. And yet, were seeing acts like these committed everyday by ISIS terrorists. According to recent reports from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, and Islamic State militant decided to send a message by executing his mother in public in the Syrian city of Raqqa. Her only crime was encouraging her son to leave the group. The woman was reportedly in her 40s and had warned her son that the Islamic State would eventually be wiped out by a United States-backed alliance. She had encouraged her son to leave the city with her. Her death is just one of more than 2,000 executions of Syrian civilians in the past 18 months, when the caliphate was created. Other deaths were the result of Islamic crimes like homosexuality. This is disturbing beyond measure. These terrorists need to be stopped. Are you ready for Obama to take action?

We are a couple and you are also a couple, so we should go to dinner together as two couples, the couple recommended to the other couple, noting that the two couples could also go out to drinks together or meet with a third couple. We can update you on what weve been doing as a couple and you can update us on what youve been doing as a couple, and if our experiences overlap, we can discuss how we enjoyed our experiences as a couple relative to how you enjoyed your experiences as a couple. At the end of the dinner, we can talk about how nice it is to socialize with other couples, suggest getting together as couples again soon, and leave in our respective coupled pairings. At press time, the couples confirmed plans to retain their mutual bond as couples until one couple became parents, at which point they would fall out of touch until the other couple became parents, and then they would all agree to meet up and socialize as parents. 
1	In separate interviews with reporters Monday, the daytime and nighttime clerks of a local 7-Eleven provided sharply contrasting opinions on the personality and temperament of regular customer Chris Coles. Jorge Rosario, who has worked the day shift there for the past nine years, said he has always been able to get along with customers, but that the curt and sometimes rude Coles was among the few exceptions. 'He's not very friendly to me or to anybody in the store,' Rosario said of the 34-year-old sales executive. 'He never says hello because he's always talking on his phone. He didn't even thank me that time he forgot his change and I ran outside to give it to him.' Overnight clerk Hasan Baroud painted a starkly different portrait of the customer, however. For Baroud, Coles is the sole source of entertainment and camaraderie during an otherwise mind-numbingly dull shift. 'I love him,' said Baroud, a 7-Eleven employee since 2005. 'Always laughing and making jokes. Two nights ago he came in and he walked up to me and he said, 'Hasan, my man, if you don't give me a high five right now, I don't know what I'm gonna do.'' 'He's always wearing a really nice suit,' Baroud added. 'But there's usually something missing like his jacket or belt or sometimes his shirt. Last week, he was wearing just one shoe, and I don't think it was his.' Descriptions of Coles given by Rosario and Baroud form the composite of a man who is at once kindhearted and disrespectful; self- obsessed and jovial; playfully inquisitive and borderline racist. While one describes Coles as an introverted grump who does little more than mumble, the other knows him as a gregarious singer and dancer who likes to use objects around the store as makeshift hats. According Rosario, Coles has never initiated conversation with him aside from the occasional terse complaint about the freshness of the coffee, and has responded to any attempts at small talk with awkward silence. 'I remember last summer he was limping with a sprained ankle or something,' Rosario said. 'It was during the heat wave, so as a joke I said to him, 'Skiing accident?' He didn't laugh or smile at all. Like he was embarrassed I even spoke to him.' Added Rosario, 'Not a nice man.' Night-shift clerk Baroud, on the other hand, told reporters he never knows what to expect from the customer he affectionately refers to as 'Amtrak' due to the man's tendency to stop whatever he's doing, pump his arm, and imitate a train whistle's 'woo wooo!' According to Baroud, Coles recently spent several minutes swimming air-laps up and down the aisles and has been known to spontaneously clean out the microwave with cocktail napkins pulled from his pockets. In fact, in all the years Coles has visited the store, Baroud said he could think of only one incident that seemed at all out of character. 'He came in one night last summer and was making like karate moves,' Baroud said. 'He lost his balance and twisted his ankle, and after I helped him up, he got very quiet, and then gave me a really long hug. He said he was happy I was his friend.' For his part, Coles disputed both clerks' portrayals of him, claiming that he has always been cordial to Rosario and simply didn't think the purchase of a Wall Street Journal required a 'heart-to-heart' conversation. But it was Baroud that Coles disagreed with most. 'I don't know what that guy was talking about,' Coles said. 'I've never even been there at night.' 
3	This City Is the Canary In the Coal Mine for Americas FutureDave Hodges Who am I? Am I speaking about Calcutta, Bangkok, Johannesburg, Mexico City, a remote province in China or some barren stretch of land in Yemen? No, I am talking about Detroit, Michigan. Detroit is the proverbial canary in the coal mine. It is a glimpse of Americas future if we let Agenda 21 fully take over our cities. It is a portent of things to come if we ever accept Cap and Trade legislation. At the height of Detroits success as a city. the city was a representation of the American middle class. It was the greatest manufacturing city ever seen on the planet. Detroit made cars that were the envy of the planet. Today, Detroit is mocked and ridiculed. If you want to know what the future of America is going to be like, just look at the city of Detroit. Once upon a time it was a symbol of everything that America was doing right, but today it has been transformed into a miniature third-world country which rivals any hell-hole on the planet. The median price of a home in Detroit is only $9,000! In some areas in Detroit, you can buy a house for just $100. There are approximately 85,000 streetlights in Detroit, but copper thieves have stripped so much wiring out that many of the lights are not working. The Mayor of Detroit has announced that he will reduce the number of streetlights to almost half the existing total down to 46,000. Today, sixty percent of Detroits children live in poverty, when less than 45 years ago, Detroit boasted the highest per capita income in the United States. Today, Detroit does not have one chain supermarket left in the city. In 2009, more than 30% of Detroit school children did not graduate from high school. Forty seven percent of Detroits residents arefunctionally illiterate. Detroit has closed 16 schools. And the kids who do manage to graduate, are barely better off than the ones who do. It has one of the highest murder rates in the country. Its infrastructure has been gutted. Real unemployment may be as high 20% in some parts of the city. This is a real bad city to not be able to find a cop; and with the new cutbacks, it is really hard to find a cop because most police stations in Detroit now only open to the public for 8 hours per day. So, if you have to defend yourself, you better be prepared to get through the night on your own. You can call the police on your Obama phone, but you better only call between 8am and 5pm. Just how dangerous is it? Justifiable homicide in Detroit rose by an amazing 79% during 2011. Who Bankrupted Detroit? The globalists defeated Detroit through the various free trade agreements. Through NAFTA, GATT, and CAFTA, American auto manufacturing were free to ship their factories overseas in search of near slave labor markets. The passage of these free trade agreements made it possible to hire foreign slave laborers and without the now prohibited tariffs on imports, the globalist-controlled corporations could ship slave labor manufactured products back into the United States. Our government failed to protect manufacturers, and the net effect is that we are beginning to see third-world conditions inside the United States in cities such as Detroit . . . and it is spreading like wildfire. Since the 1970s, America has lost 86% of its manufacturing jobs. Actually the Globalists have been trying to get rid of American tariffs for 100 years in the name of free trade. Look up the Payne-Aldrich Tariff; it is part of our history. A year later, we got the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and then real fun began in earnest. No Tariffs, No American Prosperity Tariffs used to pay our national debt. No longer, we replaced tariffs with the Income Tax Amendment. If you are reading this historical facts for the first time, you have to be getting angry. And who could blame you for getting angry? You and I should not be paying income tax tariffs should be paying for the national debt. We are paying income tax because the globalists wanted free trade and it is our duty to pay so they can maximize their profits. Oh, and by the way, the third leg of this scheme was to introduce fiat currency where bankers could invent money out of thin air which caused our money to now be worth less than 4 cents for what used to be a dollar. Now, back to Detroit which helps us understand where we are headed. You may not live in an area of the country in which the jobs are headed overseas. However, you have been targeted for de-industrialization. If you ever let Agenda 21 get a grip on your city, the result will be like Detroit and will result in abject poverty as a result of green zones, Wildlands, promises of Smart Growth, saving the planet from global warming and economic growth inhibitors, etc. By the way, the globalists have the guts to build a $25 million light rail in Detroit, right in the middle of this rotting corpse. Now that you know the truth, what are you going to do about it, because Detroits situation is our future unless we can change the direction we are headed? I would urge you to become familiar with the phrase: all politics is local. We have indeed lost the presidency and we have lost the Congress. However, we can effect some change at the local governmental levels by helping to keep Agenda 21 away from most of our cities. Roll up your sleeves, go to city council meetings and listen for phrases like NGOs, Smart Growth, Planning Areas, Public Private Partnerships in relation to your local utilities. Be vocal, call out your public officials for forsaking their oath to protect and defend the Constitution. Time is very short . . . act as if your life depends on it, because it does. 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	After a few close friends personally escorted her around San Francisco's nicest parks, restaurants, and shopping centers, Virginia-native and first-time visitor Lori Timlin reported Sunday that she could envision herself living in the one of the nation's most expensive cities. 'I can really see myself in one of those great big houses up on that hill, or maybe in an apartment overlooking the water,' said the 28-year-old paralegal, whose friends had strategically steered her away from the city's aggressive homeless population and infuriating public transportation system. 'How could you not want to live in a sparklingly clean city with such a perfect warm and sunny climate all year round?' During a four-hour layover at O'Hare International Airport on her trip back home, Timlin concluded she could never, ever live in Chicago. 
3	Now Farmers, not Biotech Giants, Being Blamed for GMO-Spawned SuperbugsMelissa Melton In the 16-year period between 1996, when GMOs were introduced, to 2011, pesticide use that was supposed to decrease due to genetic modification actually increased by 404 million pounds. Superbugs and superweeds that did not exist before are threatening crops and taking over the land. Independent studies continue to confirm this vast increase in widespread pesticide use is also killing Americas honeybees. Comparative studies have even shown that GMO food is nutritionally void and toxic; some 65 health risks have been associated with GMO in independent studies. The list goes on and on. Over at The Motley Fool.com, however, biotech giants like Monsanto, BASF, Dow and Syngenta can seemingly do no wrong. In fact, the site has declared that hating Monsanto actually impedes global economic growth. Seems sadly true at this point; with 3 billion acres of GMO grown in 29 countries in 2011, its everywhere and getting harder and harder to avoid all the time. In addition to companies like Monsanto selling patented seeds and suing anyone who tries to reuse them season to season or who might find their fields unknowingly tainted by them, GMO has been found to continually require more and more pesticides year after year as pests become resistant. Now Motley Fool is arguing that farmers may be to blame for superpests: Even though its another study proving GMO causes these problems, the author continues: So lets get this straight: to keep superbugs at bay, farmers must plant at least some non-GMO in their fields? Heres an idea! Why not just plant all non-GMO to keep all superbugs from existing in the first place? Supposedly because if everything planted was non-GMO, pests would automatically devastate crops. GMO is required, we are told. Two things are glaringly wrong with this logic. First, superbugs werent an issue until GMO became so ubiquitous. Period. Common sense aside, it has been scientifically confirmed over and over that if farmers never planted GMO pest-resistant seeds in the first place, tolerant superpests would not exist. Now that they do, farmers are forced onto a perpetual carnival ride that requires heavier and heavier doses of pesticide to keep them at bay. That may be why the EPA is set to raise the allowable pesticide limit in food, because when the governments alphabet agencies cant stop a runaway train, they just add more track instead. In fact, nothing about this says GMO will feed the world, one of many myths perpetually told by pro-biotech elements, because nothing about this is in any way sustainable. All of it requires companies like Monsanto retain increasing levels of control over the food supply using the formula patented seeds + more and more pesticides while raking in more and more profits. Second, agriculture has been around for thousands of years. Yep. It has. Somehow, apparently by magic, farming happened all these years without Monsantos existence. Although common sense should again suffice, science has yet to produce a study that shows that, without Monsanto, there would be no farming and everyone would immediately starve and die. But apparently we should just ignore logic and common sense, and instead we should just accept and love GMOs in the same way the people in the film Idiocracy loved Brawndo so much (to the general detriment of everything, basically).

2	REVOLT: Colorado Trump Fans BLAST GOP... Announce Revenge Set For Friday The nation was outraged this week when it was announced that the Republican Party in Colorado may have given away the states delegates to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz without a vote. Of course, Donald Trump is not taking the action lightly. Now, a social media campaign has sparked to protest the state partys decision to decide its delegate allocation without at vote34 in totalduring this election cycle. It should be pointed out that Cruz has not been winning against Trump at the pollsand yet he took all of the delegates this week. Colorado Votes Matter, a newly formed protest group, is taking a stand to defend the rights of voters. The Colorado Republican Party shamefully silenced its voters this election season, a statement on the groups Facebook page reads. We demand that Colorado give the power to vote in the Presidential primary to the voters. We will exercise our right to assemble and peacefully protest the corruption of the Colorado GOP and disenfranchisement that we the voters have suffered. The assembly will happen this Friday in Greenwood Village, with the goal of showing how many people they have angered by silencing our voice (and) a preview of what is to come if we come to a contested convention. Trump was vocal about Colorados decisiondirecting the blame at corruption by the Cruz campaign. Ive gotten millions of more votes than Cruz, and Ive gotten hundreds of delegates more, and we keep fighting, fighting, fighting, and then you have a Colorado where they just get all of these delegates, and its not a system, Trump commented. He went on to claim that Cruz campaign is buying the vote. They offer them tripsthey offer them all sorts of things, and youre allowed to do that, Trump continued. What kind of a system is this? Now, Im an outside, and I came into the system and Im winning the votes by millions of votes. But the system is rigged. Its crooked. What do you think of Colorados decision? 
1	Calling current levels of funding 'unconscionably excessive,' thousands of schoolchildren descended on the nation's capital Monday to demand drastic cuts in math and science funding for public schools. Douglas Witherspoon, 11, and Kimberly Neesin, 10, propose 'sorely needed' school-spending cuts. 'Something must be done about America's bloated education budget,' said Douglas Witherspoon, 11, director of the Committee To Cut Math & Science. 'Each year, math- and science-education funding sucks an estimated $40 million out of taxpayer wallets. How much longer will we as a nation continue to prioritize the teaching of things like algebra and biology?' 'Besides,' Witherspoon added, 'you can just use a calculator anyway, so why learn all that math?' 'The U.S. has the most advanced space program in the world,' Witherspoon continued. 'We invented, among other things, the microchip, the PC and the Internet. We cured polio. Are these the accomplishments of a nation that lags in math and science education? Clearly not. But like a bloodthirsty leech, federal expenditures on laboratory equipment, textbooks and flash cards continue to go up and up each year.' Pointing to a chart of world standings in various educational subjects, Witherspoon noted: 'The U.S. has consistently ranked in the top 20th percentile among industrialized nations in the test scores of third- through eighth-graders in both math and science. The sensible path for Congress to take is clear: Slash the budget.' Continued Witherspoon: 'We'll never actually use any of that stuff in the real world anyway.' When asked where funds currently going toward math and science education might be better spent, CCMS associate director Kimberly Neesin, 10, suggested field trips. 'Shocking as it may be, our nation's students barely get to go on two field trips a year,' Neesin said. 'This leaves them woefully ill-prepared to enter a world in which they will frequently find themselves taking trips. Adults don't sit behind desks all day listening to boring teachersthey get in vehicles and go places. How else will kids learn how to do this than by taking field trips?' Neesin also recommended an increase in gym-class funding. 'While we are wasting our precious time memorizing multiplication tables and learning the parts of a flower,' Neesin said, 'a Norwegian child is gaining vital physical-education skills that will prepare him for a productive career in dodgeball the day he leaves high school.' Reaction to the CCMS agenda has been mixed. While the group has been praised by Burger King Kids' Club officials, many education leaders are dismayed by its call for math and science cuts. 'Math and science are essential subjects, crucial to children's understanding of the world and their place within it,' said Dr. Wilson Hanratty of the National Science Foundation. 'The government would reduce funding for these crucial subjects at its own periland that of the nation.' Responding to Hanratty's remarks, Neesin said: 'Nuh-uhhhhh!' 
2	Tyler Perry Was Told Not To Speak Publicly About Christianity, So He Does THIS Instead [VIDEO] Recently, Tyler Perry made the controversial decision to step out of the liberal Hollywood mold and speak out about his Christian faith. In a recent interview with Queen Latifah, the actor began to open up about his deep personal relationship with God, becoming one of several actors lately to speak about how Christianity and faith can shape your life. Traditionally, Hollywood has been relative silent when it comes to religion. Actors are often given the option to silence or downplay their religious associations or face isolation from certain audiences. Perrys comments also addressed President Obamas recent actions, which threaten both Christianity and religious freedom. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
2	Black Teens Inspire Clothing Line Promoting The Murder Of Donald Trump Apparently, death threats against Presidential candidates are no longer something the mainstream media cares enough about to report onparticularly when those threats are targeted at the controversial Donald Trump. We got a choppa in the trunk for Donald Trump, one t-shirt reads, inspired by an amateur rap video called F*ck Trump Anthem. Choppa is a slang word for an AK-47. The video features black teens, armed with weapons and making serious death threats against the legendary businessman and GOP front-runner. The video has garnered more than a hundred thousand videos on YouTube already. What do you think? Does behavior like this need to be stopped? 
3	Miniature Drones of The Future Wont Need Human Input, Radar or Even GPS Satellite NavigationBy Nicholas West At the heart of this initiative is something known as biorobotics, essentially the agenda to mimic nature in order to produce robotic facsimiles. When applied to drones, biorobotics hopes to harness natures unique ability to fly through all environments while avoiding obstacles, and ultimately untether these micro-drones from human control. According to the Society for Experimental Biology, the latest research is focusing on the flight patterns of bees and birds such as the budgerigar to study their vision systems and flight intricacies. The following two videos to demonstrate these principles: A research team at the University of Queensland, Australia is using high-speed cameras to plot these movements found within nature and create autonomous micro-drones. The study group makes no secret about the hoped-for applications, and they offer an example of the conversely clunky approach of a fixed-wing autonomous drone landing in the video that follows. However, as with sanitized military drone death reports, much seems to be left out of this new research namely, that its not very new. The same professor named in this study, Professor Mandyam V Srinivasan, appeared in an article from 2007 that showed decades-long research into not only the flight patterns of bees, but how their behavior could also be applied to drones specifically, aggressive tendencies. Emphasis added. Professor Srinivasan and his team have spent more than two decades unlocking the mysteries of bee vision and navigation, and are now investigating how bee emotions, particularly aggression, can improve robotics. Research of aggressive bees is unprecedented, he said. Worker bees are generally docile until a guard bee protecting the hive emits an alarm hormone to signal the hive is endangered. The flight dynamic changes and they become like little fighter aircraft or missiles, Professor Srinivasan said. Bees small but smart brains and nervous systems have evolved a visuomotor system that enables them to track moving objects with pinpoint accuracy. Professor Srinivasans research has previously been funded by NASA and now has funding from the US Airforce, and its practical potential is diverse. It could be used for aerial coastal surveillance, weather monitoring and minerals exploration. The technology also has potential to reduce the risk to soldiers involved in peace-keeping and combat situations, who might one day have portable UAVs to send on reconnaissance missions. (Source) The U.S. military has in fact long made it known that micro-drones are part of its future, and what they have offered to the public as concept appears to indicate a program that already could be far more advanced and worrisome. The Air Force video below from early 2013 shows Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) with the ability to harvest energy, enabling insect-sized drone swarms to be dropped from military aircraft to stay aloft for a prolonged amount of time. Such autonomy would offer a host of functions, they say, including assassination. These developments are important to keep track of as an increasing number of scientists, robotics experts, and universities are warning about the threat from autonomous technology equipped with the ability to kill. Swarms of bird- and insect-sized drones free from human control certainly should be at the top of that cautionary list. Image credit Nicholas West writes for selfnewsPost.com.

No need for cops or a standing army. Les not forget the sea creature. Maybe spend a few billion on the study of fins. 
3	Monsanto Reports Lower Profits But Acquires New Technology in Shift Away From Current GMO MethodsBy Baran Hines The St. Louis-based seed and chemical companys net loss for the fourth quarter was $191 million, which is smaller than last years fourth quarter loss of $495 million. Net income attributable to Monsanto for fiscal year 2016 was approximately $1.3 billion compared to net income of $2.3 billion attributable to Monsanto in fiscal year 2015, the company reported in a statement on its website. Pressure on Monsanto continues as opposition to genetically modified organisms (GMO) has remained consistent, and Monsanto has been seeking alternative gene editing technologies to offset the negative perception of GMO crops. Wall Street analysts seemed pleased with the earnings report which beat the average estimates as the company has prepared investors for the ongoing issues related to pricing and other regional problems. The global seed and chemicals industry is also facing continued difficulty as a result of the sagging global economys effect on commodity prices. The effects of this trend over multiple years has led to the proposed consolidation of major firms. In addition to the Bayer-Monsanto deal which would create the biggest company in the industry, China National Chemical Corp.s plans to acquire Swiss pesticide maker Syngenta AG while DuPont Co. and Dow Chemical Co. plan to merge and then create a new seed science division. Monsanto also reported that the companys total operating expenses were basically flat year-over-year compared to 2015. The company has spent billions to restructure its operations in recent years to respond to a number of difficulties, but this years report may signal that the company has found a working strategy to maintain its position as global leader while it prepares for the next advancement in technology. The unknown long-term effects on the environment, human health, and farm animals have been the major concerns about GMO crops and Monsanto is attempting to change this perception of the companys products with new technology. Monsanto announced on September 22 that it acquired a global, non-exclusive licensing agreement from the Broad Institute for agricultural applications of CRISPR genome editing technology. The Broad Institute works in partnership with Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and has shared its techniques with mostly academic and non-profit groups, but has limited licenses for commercial research. The non-exclusive agreement with Monsanto is the first time that the Broad Institute has issued a license for agricultural use. The primary reason the Broad Institute has limited the use of CRISPR technology is because even though it is known to be very precise, many experts in the field have concluded that the technology can be potentially dangerous. CRISPR is considered to be more accurate for achieving specific genetic modifications by using targeted enzymes and small units of the desired genetic strands to replace traits in the primary organism; however, the side effects are not as easily controlled. Many of the same concerns about current GMO crop technology are the same for CRISPR as it relates to agriculture, primarily the transfer of genetic material to other species with unknown effects. CRISPR differs from current GMO technology in that it targets specific sites while GMOs are produced by injecting specific genes from other organisms at random sites in the host crops genome. The Broad Institute has licensed CRISPR for mostly academic research in medical fields but limited other usage because the potential for abusing the technology very high since CRISPRs method of genetic engineering is so dominant. By combining the CRISPR methods with another known technique called gene drive, a harmful genetic trait could spread faster than it could be controlled and take over an entire species in fewer generations before the problem is discovered. The Broad Institute has specifically limited Monsanto from using gene drive in combination with the CRISPR methods as part of the licensing agreement. The limitations also prohibit Monsanto from creating sterile Terminator seeds, which would force farmers to continue to buy seeds instead of using those produced by the plant. Even before experiments were done proving how dominant the techniques could be, some of the scientists who studied CRISPR gene drives on a theoretical basis cautioned against widespread use because of unknown effects. The most vocal of the scientists was Harvard Biologist Kevin Esvelt of the Wyss Institute, who organized a pledge to use caution in experimentation, which was signed by 27 of the researchers at the only two labs to study it in the early stages. Esvelt and others specifically worried about the escape of organisms carrying engineered genes because of the potential for taking over in the natural environment. Gene drive is a technique that almost guarantees a gene will be inherited by offspring and in subsequent generations because it destroys competitors of that gene during the cutting and replication process. The result is that even if the genetically engineered organism is paired with a partner carrying a different version of the gene, their descendants will carry the engineered gene and express the associated trait. Harvards Kevin Esvelt described the power of CRISPR gene drives by saying that earlier technologies would require adding genes into each and every egg or embryo in order to make an individual organism carry it and repeat that as the original carriers died or failed to pass the trait to their descendants. Esvelt noted that with gene drive, it only has to be done a few times, depending on how quickly a species reproduces. Esvelt further described this by saying that using gene drive to engineer a single mosquito out of 10,000 could cause 100 percent of them to carry the new trait within just 16 generations, over the course of a few months. CRISPR has also been seen as a bioterrorism threat and has been studied by the National Academy of Sciences, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Pentagon, and the United Nations bioweapons office, according to a report by STAT News. Monsanto also announced Monday that it reached a non-exclusive global licensing agreement on Dow AgroSciences EXZACT Precision Technology Platform for research and commercial development of new crop varieties. Zinc finger nucleases are a well-established technology for gene editing, a statement claims on the Monsanto website. The licensing of EXZACT technology has been seen as a backup effort to its use of CRISPR. The new technology announcements come during an election season where an issue like genetically modified organisms goes unnoticed among other discussions. CRISPR has the potential to fall through the cracks of the regulatory agencies because it is fundamentally different from existing GMO technology, as noted by the advocacy group Food and Water Watch. Congress also recently passed a bill which prevents states from requiring clear labeling for foods containing GMO-derived ingredients. Baran Hines writes for selfnewsPost.com.

These creepy cell manipulators should all have to eat what they produce. They dont the employees dont/wont eat GMOs in their caffeterria Thanks for this article. Previously I had thought gene editing was much better than chimera based gene manipulation. I still think that activation of dormant human dna is the way to go , but will now look upon gene editing with a similar jaundiced eye equivalent to gmo technology. 
2	BREAKING: Jailed Marine RELEASED From Mexico, Heres Why After too many months and numerous pleas for the government to take action, Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi is finally about to be release from the Mexican prison he has been held in. The marine spent over eight months in prison, after making a wrong turn in San Diego and accidentally crossing the border into Mexico. Family members have reached out to Obama for months now, asking him to take action to bring their son home. According to reports, the judge in the matter called for the release without making a determination on the charges he was facing. This comes after conservatives and military activists made the decision to fight for Tahmooressis release, signing petitions and demanding that Washington take action. One biker gang even made the decision to storm the border, while a group of two veterans took a stand by marching 600 miles to Washington to personally ask Obama to do his job. What do you think of Tahmooressis release? Is it long overdue? 
2	BREAKING: Texas Makes Shocking Discovery About Obamas Operation Jade Helm Over the past few months, military training exercise Operation Jade Helm has been a major source of controversy among Americans. Many fear that this a test run for martial law. Texas has been perhaps the most vocal in their oppositions to the exercise, and have not been quiet about making their feelings known. Now, leaders continue to step up and speak out against the exercise. Republican Party Chairman Albert Ellison recently warned that the exercise has martial law written all over it, adding that Obama was raised by communists and mentored by terrorists and has painted a portrait in the minds of many conservatives that he is capable of this sort of thing. Ellison also points to the fact that Obama has been against Texas specifically, painting citizens as nuts and wackos. Were not against the military, Bastrop County Tea Party head Terry Wareham told reporters. This community is very supportive of the military. But whos the commander in chief of the military? What do you think? Do you think that the Obama administration is preparing for martial law? 
3	Wow The Holiday Shopping Season Is Off To A Horrible StartMichael Snyder It had already been projected that this holiday shopping season would be the worst for retailers since 2009, but if these numbers are any indication it may be even worse than expected. So why is this happening? Well, basically the American consumer is tapped out. The unemployment crisis in this country is actually getting worse, poverty is absolutely exploding and the middle class is being systematically eviscerated. In other words, you cant get blood out of a stone. Many retailers are offering extreme discounts in a desperate attempt to lure more shoppers, but the money simply isnt there. According to Yahoo News, the decline in shopping over the four-day Thanksgiving weekend was the first decline that we have seen since the last recession The survey underscores the challenges stores have faced since the recession began in late 2007. Retailers had to offer deeper discounts to get people to shop during the downturn, but Americans still expect those 70 percent off signs now during the recovery. But this downturn for retailers did not just begin this past weekend. There have been signs of trouble for quite a while now. For example, posted below is a photo that one of my readers sent to me. Above is a photo of the Beverly Center Mall in Beverly Hills, California that was taken in the middle of the day on Tuesday, November 19th. She said that there wasnt a soul in that mall and the employees were all standing, staring into space with nothing to do So where are all of the shoppers? Why arent people out buying stuff? Sadly, this is just the continuation of a trend that has been developing for more than a decade. The truth is that Americans are simply not spending money as rapidly as they used to. Posted below is a chart that shows that the velocity of M2 in the United States is at an all-time low. In other words, the rate at which money circulates through our economy is frighteningly low and it continues to drop Most Americans know that the U.S. economy is very heavily dependent on consumer spending. But consumers have to make money first in order to spend it. And right now we have a major employment crisis in this country. At this point, the labor force participation rate in the United States is at a 35-year low, and an all-time record102 million working age Americans do not have a job. Meanwhile, the quality of our jobs continues to decline as well. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, median household income in the United States has fallen for five years in a row, and right now the middle class is taking home a smaller share of the overall income pie than has ever been recorded before. So should it really be such a surprise that consumers are totally tapped out? The money simply is not there. After accounting for inflation, 40 percent of all U.S. workers are currently making less than what a full-time minimum wage worker made back in 1968. A recent CNN article profiled one of these workers. Carman Iverson is a 28-year-old mother of four that makes minimum wage at McDonalds. If it was not for government assistance, her and her four children would not be able to survive Iverson said she started working in 2012 at $7.25 an hour, and makes $7.35 an hour now after Missouri adjusted the minimum wage. She makes between $400 and $600 a month. Her rent is $650 a month. When asked how she could pay her rent on those wages, she said she had a landlord who works with her. Im kind of on my last little leg, because Ive been late on rent. Im actually behind three months in rent. Sometimes I can pay it, sometimes I cant. I get paid twice a month, and both checks go to rent and the rest of it goes to utilities to the point where I dont have any money left to buy anything for my kids to buy them clothes, shoes or anything they need. She said she manages to feed her four children on $543 worth of food stamps a month. But instead of fixing things, Barack Obama continues to pursue policies that will kill millions more good jobs. It is absolutely amazing that there are any Americans that still support this guy. For a long list of statistics that show how badly the economy has tanked since Obama entered the White House, please see this article. You know that things are bad when increasing the number of Americans on food stamps by 15 million is regarded as an economic accomplishment. In fact, a message recently posted on the official White House website says that SNAP is boosting the economy right now and that high food stamp enrollment is creating lots of jobs SNAPs effect extends beyond the food on a familys tableto the grocery stores, truck drivers, warehouses, processing plants and farmers that helped get it there. So why dont we just enroll all Americans in every welfare program? Wouldnt that produce an extreme economic boom? And actually under Obama we are already well on our way. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 49.2 percent of all Americans are currently receiving benefits from at least one government program, and the federal government has spent an astounding 3.7 trillion dollars on welfare programs over the past five years. Yes, there will always be poor people that cannot help themselves that will need our assistance. But most Americans are capable of working if they could just find jobs. Unfortunately, our jobs are being killed off and wages are going down. The middle class is being systematically destroyed and U.S. consumer spending is drying up. The horrible start to this holiday shopping season is just the beginning. Things are going to get much worse than this. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

3	Another Denial of NSA Spying Even as More Evidence Emergesselfnews Post The list of countries who are expressing their outrage at the wide dragnet of NSA surveillance activities continues to grow. Following Brazil, Mexico, and Germany, France took perhaps the strongest measure of summoning the U.S. Ambassador to account for NSA activities inside their country. The audacity of the NSA knows no bounds, as its not only the normally preyed-upon citizens of all nations (now to the tune of 124 billion phone calls in just one month), but also selected leaders and diplomats who have been targeted. This audacity fittingly has a public representative: James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence. Clapper, remember, has flat-out lied to Congress under oath about the scope of the program and how it collects information on innocent Americans. Nevertheless, Clapper is at it again with a new round of denials. Madison Ruppert accurately points out that his latest denial of collecting 70 million phone calls of French citizens is nothing but a clever word game: In the statement, Clapper claimed that the Le Monde articles contain inaccurate and misleading information regarding U.S. foreign intelligence activities. The allegation that the National Security Agency collected more than 70 million recordings of French citizens telephone data is false, Clapper stated. (Source) Full transcript and research links posted below: by Elizabeth Hagedorn Director of National Intelligence James Clapper says reports that the U.S. collected data on the phone conversations of French citizens are false. Citing documents leaked from NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, French publication Le Monde reported Monday the NSA had intercepted more than 70 million phone calls in France in a span of 30 days. According to the report, phone calls were automatically recorded when certain numbers were dialed, and text messages were picked up based on certain keywords. (Via France 24) Le Monde followed up with a report claiming the U.S. bugged French diplomats and used that information to sway a key U.N. vote involving Iran sanctions in 2010. (Via United Nations) While French officials appear taken aback by the news, reports of U.S. snooping are hardly new. The French government has slammed the reports as shocking and unacceptable. Its foreign minister says he summoned the U.S. ambassador in Paris to demand an explanation. And France isnt alone in its outrage. It joins a growing list of U.S. allies agitated at similar reports of NSA snooping including Germany, Britain, Brazil, Mexico and the European Union. (Via CNN) Now, its worth noting Clapper didnt deny spying on the French. Rather, he called the specific report inaccurate and misleading. (Via The White House) But not everyones buying it. After all, some might say Clapper doesnt exactly have the best track record of being truthful when it comes to the NSAs spying efforts. RON WYDEN: Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans? CLAPPER: No, sir not wittingly. (Via Fox News) In a statement, Clapper conceded, The United States gathers intelligence of the type gathered by all nations. (Via Office of the Director of National Intelligence) And that appears to include France. This summer, Le Monde reported the French spying agency has its own program used to track and store phone and Internet activity of its citizens. Recently From selfnews Post: 
3	Smart Meters and Domestic SurveillanceTalk about copycats! Whoa! Someone did a rather convincing job of that, Id say. Its the Internet site Domestic Surveillance Directorate. Defending Our Nation. Securing The Citizen, which identifies itself as a parody on the NSA (National Security Agency). The parody site does an excellent job, so I encourage readers to study it thoroughly, as it contains too much information to talk about here. Having said that, Id like to point out something that jumped out at me while considering the graphic below, and that is, the role of radiofrequency non-ionizing radiation (RFs) and electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) in surveillancesomething I hope no one doubts is not going on at every level. One extraordinary and special surveillance device is not pictured and should be: It is the AMI Smart Meter (SM), the analog replacement meter for utilitieselectric, gas and water. However, theres circumstantial evidence that SMs should be portrayed in this chart, which is the fact that cell phone networks and mobile phones are listed as surveillance [spying] devices. Both those technologies use RFs and EMFs to relay information. So do AMI Smart Meters collect and relay information from within homes/buildings, plus SMs can transmit instructions from headquarters to smart appliances inside homes, i.e., to any smart appliance homeowners own that have built-in smart tracking technology. SMs do their work by using cell phone RF and EMF technology, similar towers and, perhaps, special catch-all towers called stingrays, towers that are much more than you think they are when you drive past them. Id suggest readers check out the threads on the ACLUs website about stingrays. You may not be aware of whats going on! Now, heres something that utilities deny will happen to the information collected from within homes and buildings: Its the resale of personal information collected from within residences to and for specific interests. That should be outlawed by every state legislative body that enacts SM installation law(s), as there are several legal problems involved, which no one wants to recognize and admit. The primary issue is the blatant disregard and dismantling of both the U.S. Constitution and every states Constitution for the rights U.S. citizens have regarding search and seizure, but are being disregarded in deference to establishing a surveillance state and New World Order. Smart Meters are part of the UNs Agenda 21, and are being installed around the world. The second most important issue, besides the health problems RFs and EMFs create for just about everyone, as reported by reputable science and not the decades-old radar studies everyone promoting RF-EMF technologies trot out as safe, is that SMs promote and enable identify theft, which federal and state governments should be concerned about. Utilities really should have their legal britches twisted because they could and should be held liable for enabling such personal, in-home security breaches. Any hacker can tell whats going on inside a residence; if anyone is home and using appliances; and possiblyjust possiblyvisually see whats going on too! There should be no doubt that SM information will be relayed to the NSA. That ought to be a frightening foregone conclusion. However, that aspect needs to be addressed legally, and soon, by the U.S. Congress and the courts. Needless to say, I think I can predict what the U.S. Supreme Court will hand up. I can see the news headlines: SCOTUS Rules Surveillance Constitutional. I certainly hope that Im wrong.

Smart meters periodically communicate information on energy usage to the utility company. Radios, TV, cell phones, cordless phones, etc all use RF. The least intrusive are smart meters which are outside and are not held up to your brain or watched for hours on end. I paid (it no longer costs) $5 a month for a private meter reading (requiring someone to come into my yard once a month) to avoid having a smart meter installed when I was growing pot. I no longer give a shit, but they stopped charging so I am doing nothing, since my cell phone, laptop with wifi, etc emit hundreds of times for RFs than a smart meter, which is outside. I still have the old meter.people using wifi spend hours spreading the fear of smartmeters, which emit a hundred times less RFs. Go figure. Sorry, but they can tell what is happening in your house. see congressional report here http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R42338.pdf Second, I have measured smart meters. The bursts are quite higher than wifi and significantly higher than what most building biologists consider safe. Also you must research and bring up the FCC authorization work papers for your smart meters. Many are conducting the frequencies onto the lines not just in the air. Are they creating extra transients (i,e. dirty electricity) into your home? Smart meters can also be activated remotely to disconnect, or reconnect power to your main electrical panel. Gas meters do not appear to have this abilityyet.

2	Fields Demands Apology From Trump, Gets Epicly Shut Down Immediately According to announcement from Florida prosecutors on Thursday, they do not intend to move forward with prosecuting GOP front-runner Donald Trumps campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski. Lewandowski was facing charges for grabbing former Breitbart journalist Michelle Fields when she grabbed Trump. That decision is not enough for Fields, who is still demanding an apology from Lewandowski though he wont be charged. Now, Lewandowski has come forward to reveal that he called Fields after the incident to discuss it, but she declined to answer or even respond to him. I would just like an apology for defaming my character, Fields told reporters at the end of last week. Thats what I wanted from the very beginning. I never wanted this to blow up, never to end up leaving my job. I just wish they had done the right thing from the very beginning and we could all have moved on. If that statement were true, she probably would have answered Lewandowski when he reached out just one day after the incident. If she wanted to have a conversation, she could have reached out to me directly or the office, he argued. That never took place. What do you think of Fields demands? 
1	Jamie Daniels, juror #7 in The State Of Ohio vs. Greg Mitchell, was 'on the edge of the seat' after closing arguments in the double-murder trial Monday, saying she could not wait to see how it turned out, though she also wished the three-week-long 'roller-coaster ride' could go on forever. 'The prosecutor was just so intense and animated, and when he demanded that the jury show the accused killer no more mercy than he showed those young girls, I swear, he was looking right at me,' said Daniels, who added that the defense attorney's disarming cross-examination of an important but unstable witness was just the kind of 'riveting performance' she was hoping for. 'Every day I know by the way the defendant glances at me that he is wondering if I, specifically, am on his side. And I love that.' Heading in to deliberations, Daniels said she was not certain that Mitchell deserved the most severe punishment in the land, but admitted that a capital sentence had the most potential for multiple juicy appeals.

3	Its Time to Humanize the Syrian Refugee CrisisBy Derrick Broze Lost in the headlines of proposals to completely ban Muslims or Arabs altogether, there are individuals and families who truly seek nothing but a life free of violence, war, and pain. While the Internet is filled with theorists who suspect that refugees are nothing more than terrorists in hiding, there are millions of human beings who wish for an opportunity to be treated as equals. To be certain, there have been reports of clashes with the residents of various nations who are accepting refugees. But is this the fault of the refugees, the residents, or simply ignorance on both parts? To get to the bottom of this, one must begin to look at the situation without prejudice and recognize that all humans are individuals with their own unique perspectives and ideas. While some refugees may have their own vision of transforming their host nation, there are others who want to learn and grow in their new home. By the same token, for every accepting and loving citizen of a host nation there are also ignorant bigots who reject foreigners automatically. Since 2011, hundreds of thousands of Syrians have risked their lives to make it to the shores of Greece. While many of these people have been resettled thousands more remain stranded in legal limbo. They are caught between Europeans who welcome them with open arms and increasingly far-right political groups who seek to ban refugees and their religious beliefs. In an attempt to shine a light on the human side of the refugee crisis, a new documentary will follow the journey of one man from Syria to the Idomeni refugee camp in Greece. In April, filmmaker Jeremy Martin spent a week at Idomeni with refugees gathering video content, making contacts, and researching the migration crisis. While at Idomeni, Martin met Adbullah, a refugee from Deir ez-Zor, Syria, a city destroyed by Syrian, Russian, and NATO bombs and now controlled by ISIS. Abdullah and his friends share their stories of reaching Europe and ask whether taking the journey and risking their lives was a worthy endeavor. In the film we find out from refugees who they think is to blame for their crisis, where they place hope, and what options they have ahead of them, Martin told selfnews Post. We look at why they left home, what theyve encountered along the way, and how ending up in Greece has changed their lives. We try to understand how it feels to live every day from one to the next in complete uncertainty about the future as we perceive the refugee crisis Through Abdullahs Eyes. Jeremy Martin is planning to return to Greece to continue documenting the refugees journey as they seek asylum abroad. When asked how his film will handle the negativity and bigotry faced by some of the refugees, Martin said his film aims to color the word refugee with the personalities of refugees that remind you that were so much more alike than we imagined, but because of the politics, whatever they may be, they equate to time lost in limbo as resources grow thin, tempers rise, and Europes far right keeps gaining momentum. Its easy for armchair activists and Internet commentators to judge others and make assumptions about individuals based on their religion, the color of their skin, or their country of origin, but at the end of the day we are all individuals. Lovers of liberty, human rights advocates, and refugees can all learn to approach each other with kindness, grace, and compassion. Until we are capable of learning to judge every individual by their character and their actions we will be easily divided and manipulated. For more information on Through Abdullahs Eyes please see this interview with Jeremy Martin. If you are interested in supporting the film please contribute to Jeremys crowdfunding campaign.

Once we humanize the situation, then comes the need to take care of them. Call me heartless, but were over 19 trillion in debt. We cannot boil the ocean. OK lets watch some videos of how the migrants have behaved in Europe, to humanize them, and also to humanize the local people victimized because of them. Theyre people too. You want to be selective about who we watch and what we are supposed to conclude. No thanks. Its not that Im heartless. Its that Im not a cuck. BACK IN THE EUSSR (parody of The Beatles Back in the USSR) Oh, flew in from Liberia Beach D.O.A. Im back in the E.U.S.S.R. Those great debts really knock me out Take me to Carpathian Mountains way down South Im back in the E.U.S.S.R. No, start to dehumanise these psycho-freaks who are directly responsible for the militarised dystopia in those middle east countries and treat them as the tradition demands with rabid animals or parasite infestations. Of course be decent with the displaced masses but assist them to return and to rebuild their countries. The banksters need a war desperately right now. Theyve tried so hard in Syria and it just hasnt worked. Now theyve got crazy Trump actually saying we should stay out of the Middle East and focus on our own problems, and people are listening Whats a self-respecting globalist financier to do? Without the US military killing people and breaking things, there is no future growth path for them. So they send their puppets like Kasich and Romney out to talk up the fight against evil and threaten Russia and China, hoping to fool those dumb white Murkins one more time into sending their sons off to die for God and Country and Goldman Sachs. The IMF Jws are in bed with the Turks and NATO, they are worried about a Trump audit of the Federal Reserve and about Trump and Putin teaming up to destroy them once and for all Trump is a vote for peace, and peace does not make money for the weapon industry. The pseudo secular media and their Zonist masters profit from destabilization. Yes Doug, and they want us to kill each other off to save them the trouble of eliminating us. 
1	Touting robust traffic on par with some of its most popular games, representatives from Las Vegas Bellagio resort said Thursday that the casino was enjoying steady profits from a new slot machine that explicitly guarantees players they will lose. The Lose Your Dollar machines, 48 of which were reportedly installed on the casinos main gaming floor several weeks ago, feature a large, prominent placard bolted to the front panel that unambiguously notifies players in six different languages that they have absolutely no chance of receiving any kind of payout. Were incredibly pleased theres been such demand for a slot that makes winning utterly impossible, said casino representative Kelly Ambrose, emphasizing that while some slot machines have traditionally offered longer odds than others, Lose Your Dollar is the first to remove success from gameplay entirely. From what weve seen, people are genuinely excited about inserting a dollar bill, losing, and then inserting another dollar bill. And were more than happy to have them as our guests at the Bellagio, added Ambrose. According to casino sources, each of the new machines features a simple design consisting of a plain gray outer casing with a side-mounted handle that, when pulled, immediately informs the player that he or she has lost the game by flashing the word LOSER on a screen and sounding a loud buzzer. Noticeably absent from the Lose Your Dollar slot are revolving reels of colorful icons or a payout tray, which Bellagio officials confirmed was due to the fact no winning scenarios exist and no money will ever be disbursed. Once they lose, players are quickly prompted to insert more cash through a lighted slot for bills, which reportedly accepts denominations as high as $100. Bellagio representatives confirmed that all of the Lose Your Dollar slots are almost always in use, typically with several people standing nearby waiting to play even during slower weekday and early morning periods. The new games also reportedly appeal to a wide demographic, with men and women and young and old players alike feeding their money into the machines and walking away empty-handed 100 percent of the time. Sometimes a slot takes a while to heat up, so I just have to be patient, said Leonard Grant, 54, a Bellagio guest who told reporters he was undeterred despite having lost approximately $750 in four hours at a Lose Your Dollar machine. If I quit now, I might be walking away from a jackpot that the next guys gonna get. It only takes one lucky break, added Grant, inserting another dollar bill into the game and pulling the handle. Damn! Think Im getting close, though. I can feel it. If the new slot machines continue to perform well, the Bellagio will reportedly move ahead with similar gaming innovations, including a roulette wheel without a ball and a totally blank craps table where players can simply dump their chips and leave. 
1	According to eyewitness reports, two employees at a local Walgreens engaged in a heated argument Sunday in full view of customers, shattering the air of decorum traditionally associated with the drugstore chain. 'Like most people, I've come to expect a certain level of courtesy and professionalism when I enter a Walgreensthe kind of effortless competence all retailers aspire to but few ever achieve,' said shaken patron Gabe Lawrie, 28, who described two checkout clerks engaging in a loud dispute and not even acknowledging his presence until their exchange was interrupted when one took a personal phone call. 'When you hear the name Walgreens, you think: an expert staff with a thorough knowledge of the store's products andabove all elsean unfailing respect for the dignity of the customer. I was looking around thinking, 'Is this a Walgreens? Am I in the wrong store?'' Lawrie then shook his head and crossed the street to CVS, where a white-gloved assistant manager greeted him with direct eye contact and a deep bow. 
2	Oklahoma Has Had Enough, Takes MAJOR Move To Impeach Obama President Barack Obama reached an all-time low this month when he issued an executive decree to all public and private schools in the national, threatening them with the loss of federal funding and even lawsuits if they refuse to comply with his transgender bathroom policy. The decree was quick to spark outrage among conservatives who fear for the safety of their children. In fact, several states have taken a stand, claiming that they will ignore the guidance from Obama and go about their own business. The state of Oklahoma has taken that stand a step further; their legislature has just filed a measure calling for the impeachment of Obama over his transgender bathroom demands, claiming that he overstepped his constitutional authority. The impeachment resolution has no force of law against the president, but it is designed to place pressure on the states representatives in Congress. State representative John Bennett declared that Obamas bathroom directive was not only biblically wrong but also a clear violation of state sovereignty. The legislation also seeks to remove anyone involved in the signing of measure. What do you think? Will this resolution hold any weight in Congress? 
3	The Propaganda Narrative of a Peaceful Muslim BrotherhoodBrandon Turbeville Indeed, the narrative constantly played throughout the mainstream and, unfortunately, alternative media largely constructs the Muslim Brotherhood opposition as peaceful protesters who are merely fighting for democracy, free elections, and self-determination. However, as I have written on numerous occasions, the fact is that the Muslim Brotherhood is nothing more than a conglomeration of religious fanatics, dupes, and corrupt individuals of varying societal status. In addition, the Muslim Brotherhood is tied at the hip to Western intelligence, most notably that of the British and Americans. Nevertheless, the tired propaganda of the corporate media which has been used in Egypt, Libya, and Syria is being used once again in Egypt and, unfortunately, is continuing unabated even by much of the alternative media. Yet nowhere is the intentional obfuscation more obvious than in the mainstream outlets which clearly seek to portray the Muslim Brotherhood as the good guys of the confrontation between the Brotherhood and the government. Indeed, in an article written by Michael Georgy and Tom Perry entitled Special Report: As Egypts Brotherhood retreats, risk of extremism rises, a clear attempt is made to portray the Brotherhood as being committed to peaceful protest an eschewing violence while also attempting to paint a more human face on the organization. First, mention should be made of the usra groups. While the article largely portrays the groups as mere social gatherings, support groups, and Bible-study style meetings, the fact is that these small enclaves are actually individual brainwashing and control operations designed to fill the minds of the participants with fundamentalist drivel and direct them in destabilization tactics and violent terroristic behavior. Yet, even the Reuters article is forced to admit that the usras are more than mere social clubs for Brotherhood fanatics when it states that The usra was devised by Hassan al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, to indoctrinate and mobilize followers. Usras typically used to meet once a week for at least three hours, usually at the home of a member. The usra leader could be so pivotal that members sought their permission to travel to Cairo. [emphasis added] The fact that indoctrination and mobilization are admittedly the main purposes of the usra is telling indeed, as it demonstrates that the usras are nothing more than miniature fundamentalist training camps that also function as low-level sleeper cells. Still, the article projects a strange and illogical propaganda narrative surrounding the violence of the Brotherhood when it suggests that, because of the recent Egyptian government crackdown on both the organization and its usras, the risk of extremism is growing. In other words, the argument is that, by dismantling organizations that guided and facilitated terror, fundamentalists, and their perpetrators, the Egyptian government is causing the fundamentalists to become more prone to physical violence. For instance, Georgy and Perry write that The two also include quotes from an interview from a Muslim Brotherhood member going by the name of Ahmed Nabil when they write, Of course, the Muslim Brotherhood is only peaceful when events are proceeding according to their plan. The moment their fundamentalist authoritarian goals start to derail is the moment that violence begins. Indeed, the Muslim Brotherhood is on track toward bringing Egypt to the situation in Syria if allowed to continue staging uprisings and violent attacks against the government, Christians, and the rest of the Egyptian population. It is important to remember that the Muslim Brotherhood protesters in Egypt have themselves been caught in numerous violent acts, such as firing weapons at Egyptian police after the ouster of Morsi and even throwing political opponents off rooftops, and firing rocket-propelled grenades at a state satellite facility. The Brotherhood detonated a car bomb outside of a building which housed some Egyptian intelligence officers in Ismailia. This is in addition the targeting of Christian churches for destruction, regardless of the fact that these churches, nor those who worship in them, had anything to do with the perceived wrongs done to the Muslim Brotherhood. Clearly, this is fanaticism in all its glory. These type of violent acts and unmitigated fanaticism is why the overwhelming majority of the Egyptian people despise the Brotherhood. During the initial campaign of violence surrounding the Brotherhoods expulsion from a massive protest camp and the subsequent clashes between the Brotherhood and the Egyptian security forces, many Egyptian citizens formed their own organic security brigades to prevent the Brotherhood members from entering their neighborhood and engaging in violence and other forms of disturbance. Many of these brigades actually armed themselves with machetes and stood guard over their neighborhoods all throughout the day and night. Although the Reuters article portrays these people as thugs, even this mainstream write-up was forced to admit that the Brotherhood is widely hated amongst the Egyptian people. It states, The article also tells of a joke circulating around Egypt regarding just how hated the Muslim Brotherhood is by the general populace. A boy who wants to have his father killed leaves their fifth floor apartment, goes to the ground floor and posts a sign at the entrance, Muslim Brotherhood headquarters is located on the fifth floor, apartment three. With this in mind, any talk of supporting democracy and the will of the Egyptian people by the Muslim Brotherhood, Western governments, or mainstream media outlets should be dismissed out of hand as the Brotherhood clearly does not have the support of the Egyptian people. If these sources truly value democracy and the respect of the will of the people, then the fact that the overwhelming majority of Egyptians have spoken against the Muslim Brotherhood should end the debate.

2	Hillary Clinton Is Facing This Much Time In Jail For The Crimes She Committed According to Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano, former Secretary of State could be facing time in prison for hiding documents from government computers. Napolitano recently appeared on Americas Newsroom, where he discussed the recent controversy. So you feel that she faces potentially two criminal investigations? host Martha MacCallum asked of the Judge. Yes. This is beyond extraordinary and beyond dangerous, Napolitano concluded. This is potentially criminal. The judge then went on to compare Clintons current situation with one of General David Petraeus, who pleaded guilty to similar charges not long ago. The general agreed to plead guilty for keeping classified secrets in a non-secure, non-government-approved venuein the generals case, a desk drawer in his home, Napolitano told the host. In Mrs. Clintons case, the sever in her home, non-government secured and non-government approved, classified secrets there, that is a misdemeanor. Petraeus eventually received a reasonable settlement after it was determined that the information kept in his disk did not have the potential to cause harm. Both McCallum and Napolitano acknowledged that this is a question in the case of Clinton as well, and that Benghazi will be an issue that will be carefully investigated. She as the secretary of statethere are four levels of security clearances. She and the president and General Petraeus and the secretary of defense, people of the nature have the highest level, Napolitano concluded. But the other problem that she faces is far more serious, and that is a conspiracy to deflect documents, to conceal documents from government computers by keeping them from government computers. That exposes her to three years in jail, per document. And a conviction also exposes her to disqualification from holding office in the future, under the United States of America. What do you think? Is Clinton guilty of keeping secrets from the government? Do you support her being banned from the White House?

2	U.S. Marine Calls Out Michelle Obama Right To Her Face... EPIC Throughout their time in the White House, Barack and Michelle Obama have been rapidly losing the support of our men and women in uniform. Finally, this soldier had had enough, and decided to write a letter to Michelle, telling her just what he thinks of her. Read it below and tell us what you think: Mrs. Obama It sickens me that I have to take time to write you this letter. I am a Marine who doesnt recognize color because every color has lived and died for you. You live in a free country to blame your life on the color of another mans skin. All colors have given their lives for an educated woman to have the freedom to be so ignorant. I dont blame black people for the ignorance that comes from your mouth. I love all colors because I love all that God creates. I dont have to like you to love you because we cant always like the ones we love. Just because I dont like you today doesnt mean I cant like you tomorrow. I dont like you or your husband today because of what youre doing to this country. Isnt it funny how the truth always reveals itself in time. You and your husband never showed this side of yourselves in 2008 before he was elected. You both live better than 99% of the people in this world because of this country. You said that you are for the first time proud to be an American. Well, I will tell you that most of us are ashamed of you. You and your husband have become millionaires off the people of this country, but demonstrate very little appreciation for all that we give. White, black, brown or indifferent millions have fought and died for you to have the freedom to say the ignorant things you say. You are educated, but clearly have very little common sense. You blame past generations of Americans for the troubles of a few. Stop blaming white people for your misery and take a look at yourself in the mirror. We are responsible for our own happiness and misery. The KKK is ignorance wrapped in a sheet while the Black panthers are raised on ignorance and hate. No different from the teaching of Islam thinking their race is better than all other men. God is love and creates every color to include everyones skin. To truly love God is to love all that He loves. For that I love each of you and pray that we all start taking responsibility for our own damned sins. Martin Luther King had a dream that we would all live in the promise land. He is not remembered for being black. He is remembered for the love, and character he had within his heart. If you dont like this country get on that plane and never come back. I will stay here and love all Americans, regardless of skin. I will love the beauty of what God created and stand tall with my American friends. Not because of their color but for the character and love they carry within. This country doesnt owe you anymore than it owes me. So many have thanked me for my service and I will always be grateful. I pray that one day you and your husband might cause me to be grateful for yours. You will never be remembered as the First Lady of Color but soon forgotten after you leave the White House. You nor your husband shall ever divide us. I wish you no harm, but pray you will take your troubles to a land you no longer hate. Hate shall come and go but His love shall last forever. If you wish to find me I am now a writer for the DC Gazette. Also on Twitter @mshep08_mike God bless you and Semper Fi 
3	International Criticism Of US Human Rights Record Over Pinkney CaseBy Brandon Turbeville European silence has come despite the incessant wars committed overseas, the enormous population of imprisoned people in the US, the elimination of privacy, dictatorship of corporations and banks, and the authoritarian crackdown on American citizens. Recently, however, a respected member of the Italian judicial community, Ferdinando Imposimato, was moved by the case of Rev. Edward Pinkney of Benton Harbor, Michigan, enough to address a letter to the Italian government calling for the Italians to remind the United States that they, too, are signatories to the Helsinki Treaty and that they should afford Pinkney his rights and due process. Imposimato wrote, Having examined a summary of the legal action against Reverend Edward Pinkney of Benton Harbor, Michigan (USA), I feel the duty to express my gravest concern about abuses of civil and human rights against this of this minister of the gospel, who is at the same time the main leader of popular resistance against the anti-freedom regime imposed in that area by the multinational corporation Whirlpool, which has its world headquarters precisely in Benton Harbor. Whirlpool represents the largest appliance company in the Western world. Pinkney was indicted with the accusation of having forged the dates of a few signatures on petitions circulated to recall Mayor Hightower, a Whirlpool ally, and force him to justify his behavior in office before the voters through the device of calling an early election. Pinkney was sentenced to up to 10 years imprisonment, despite the absolute absence of any proof against him. Normally, according to Michigan law, this entire matter would have been considered a misdemeanor, but in order to take down Pinkney, the head of the opposition in the city, this charge was inflated to the level of being an extremely serious felony. In addition, Pinkneys trial was polluted by so many intrigues among the judge, the sheriff, the county officials, and a member of the jury who committed perjury, all of which makes Pinkneys conviction invalid, and requires that it be struck down, in my opinion. In recent days, I have seen the beginnings in Italy of that same process of urban degradation and economic impoverishment which has ruined the city of Benton Harbor. In recent years, Whirlpool has bought up large chunks of our splendid Italian appliance industry, including especially the appliance manufacturer Indesit. Now, Whirlpool executives have issued a proclamation from Benton Harbor announcing with absolute arrogance that they intend to wipe out about 2,000 jobs, which means more than a third of the current personnel of the Italian branch of Whirlpool. This mass firing would be a devastating blow for Varese, Caserta, Turin, Naples, Siena, and the other Italian cities which Whirlpool is targeting. We have to ask ourselves if Whirlpool is trying to drive these Italian cities down to the same level of plantations of despair which we observe today in Benton Harbor. God forbid! I therefore call on the Italian government to intervene to protect these jobs in our country. The Italian government should call in the American ambassador in Rome and demand explanations about the Pinkney case, emphatically reminding him that the United States, as signatories along with Italy of the Final Act of the Helsinki Treaty (1975) are required to respect human rights and civil rights, with voting rights at the top of the list meaning exactly the right which Reverend Pinckney was attempting to exercise. Of course, in 2015, outrageous arrests, nonsensical verdicts, and felonious rulings have become the norm in the US Justice system. In the case of Rev. Edward Pinkney, however, all three coalesced to make up one open case of political imprisonment. First arrested on charges of election fraud regarding a recall attempt that Pinkney led against Benton Harbor, Michigan Mayor James Hightower, Pinkney was sentenced to up to ten years in prison on felony charges although they should only have been prosecuted as a misdemeanor, according to those representing Pinkney. The recall of Mayor Hightower was part of a larger battle being waged by Pinkney and his associates who were fighting for the people of Benton Harbor, a city that has been ravaged by decades of economic decline, austerity policies, and emergency managers as well as the corporate control of the Whirlpool Corporation. The arrest and trial of Pinkney has been a political witch hunt and public circus since day one. A SWAT raid was launched in order to serve Pinkney a warrant, complete with surrounding Pinkneys home in full military regalia and closing off the street as if it were an armed standoff. Sherriffs deputies then proceeded to raid the homes of petition signers in order to get them to testify that Pinkney had forged their signatures. Pinkneys trial was complete with a stacked jury including members who lied under oath regarding their connections to members of the prosecution or key witnesses in the case. Rev. Pinkney was convicted despite the fact that there was essentially no evidence to prove him guilty of the charges levied against him. In fact, during the trial, the prosecution even told the jury that you dont need evidence to convict Mr. Pinkney. That Pinkney was convicted in a kangaroo court is clear enough. However, the insanity did not stop at his imprisonment. Judge Sterling Schrock then ordered Rev. Pinkney to pay restitution to Mayor James Hightower for the campaign costs he incurred as a result of the recall election. In addition, Judge Schrock ordered Rev. Pinkney to pay around $1,800 dollars for neck pain that Hightower experienced as a result of the stress of facing a recall election. The $1,800 is presumably the estimated cost of the time Hightower had to take off to deal with the stress of the situation. Such an outrageous ruling is not only evidence of the fact that the courts themselves are entirely corrupt, but also that political dissent in Berrien County, Benton Harbor, Michigan, and the country as a whole is under attack. Mayor Hightowers pathetic whining about stress from facing a legitimate recall election is merely an expression of another privileged aristocrat who became upset when his perceived authority was challenged. Judge Schrocks ruling is merely one more example of a court system working hand in hand with the local and corporate ruling class to maintain the status quo of oppression and submission in the ranks of the general public in their districts. Pinkneys persecution is a warning to all activists that the system, when challenged, will attempt to do whatever it can to fight back and remove the dissenters. Imposimatos letter is a reminder to all Americans that their claims and fairy tales of liberty, freedom, justice, and the American way have disappeared from reality a long time ago.

2	6 Muslim Leaders Pulled Off US Airways Flight For THIS Frightening Reason According to recent reports, six Muslim religious leaders were just kicked off a US Airways flight in Minneapolis and detained for several hours after passengers and crew members complained of suspicious behavior. Of course, the incident captured the attention of the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Both organizations are now calling for Congressional hearings on profiling, as well as a TSA investigation by the Justice Department. We seem to have received more complaints against US Airways [than other carriers], Nihad Awad, executive director of CAIR told reporters. The complaints have been filed from both Muslim employees and passengers. The airline claims that they are investigating the episode, but maintains that the crew acted in accordance with the companys policy for removing passengers. This is humiliation, claims Omar Ahmad Shahin of Phoenix, one of the men removed from the plane. They found nothing. They found we had a good relation with everybody. Still, passengers are standing behind claims that the men were acting unusually, with reports indicating several suspicious behaviors, ranging from praying in the terminal to requesting extra seats. What do you think of the incident? Should the TSA be punished for doing their job? 
2	CNN Host Unapologetically Calls For Increase Of Death Rate Of White Middle American Females According to recent reports, CNN host of Foreign Affairs Fareed Zakaria is facing serious backlash after calling for the rape of white females by Islamic minority groups. This call to action came shortly after gloating about the rise in premature deaths of white males in an article he wrote for The Washington Post. The white race is rightfully failing because it is a foolish, arrogant, and self-absorbed ethnicity that has racism infused into its very genes, Zakaria wrote. While the sharp incline of the death rate of white males is a good start, the solution to the white question will not be reached until there is a sharp decline in the population of white females as well. Much more needs to be done in this regard if this country is ever to advance from its ignorant backwardness towards being an inhabitable nation. Thankfully, the Prophet Muhammad has given us a foolproof way to speed up the decline of a vanquished nation by treating their women as our sex slaves, he continued. They may try and fight the unstoppable tide, but their resistance will grow only weaker as the white race loses its ability to keep its head above water. We may yet see some final convulsions before white Middle America is decreased to a manageable number where it can be more easily controlled, Zakaria concluded. The blog post was taken down within hours, after Zakaria received almost immediate backlash. Still, CNN officials have done nothing to punish him for his actions. What do you think? Should CNN fire Zakaria for his outrageous views? 
2	Supreme Court Justice Scalia Found Dead The Conservative community is mourning the loss of 79-year-old Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia after he was found dead in his room at the Cibolo Creek Ranch resort in West Texas. Initial reports from My San Antonio claim that Judge Scalia arrived on Friday to the resort as part of a group of more than three dozen people. One of his acquaintances was concerned when Scalia did not show up to breakfast on Saturday morning. When a resort worker checked his room by request, they made the saddening discovery. U.S. Marshals, local District Judges, and officials with the FBI were immediately notified. It happened on a ranch out near Marfa, U.S. District Judge Fred Biery told reporters. As far as the details, I think its pretty vague right now as to how. One federal official did report that no foul play is suspected at this time, and Scalia likely died of natural causes. Conservative leaders were quick to express their sorrow on social media. Today our nation mourns the loss of one of the greatest Justices in historyJustice Antonin Scalia, Ted Cruz tweeted. Do you pray for Scalias family? 
2	Hillary Wants To Ban These Words When She Is Elected As President According to recent reports, Hillary Clinton recently sent a message to the national media about the words she does not want them to use to describe her during her 2016 presidential campaign. According to New York Times reporter Amy Chozick, Hillarys representatives have been sending out warnings to the press, specifically banning words like: polarizing, calculating, disingenuous, insincere, ambitious, inevitable, entitled, over-confident, secretive. Hillarys group has gone so far to deem these terms sexist. We will be watching, reading, listening and protesting coded sexism, the warning read, according to the reporter. The group has also banned phrases like will do anything to win, represents the past, and out of touch. What do you think? Are claims that these are sexist terms completely unfounded?

'Their gutsy yet elegant win over Brazil got everyone behind them, and their victory over Francecomplete with the second Abby Wambach header in as many gamesmade them look like a team of destiny, so they'd better not fuck this one up, because theyll look like complete idiots,' thousands of bandwagon fans from across the United States said Wednesday, adding that if the team loses Sunday, its whole World Cup run will have been a fucking waste of everyones time. 'I mean, if they shit the bed by not closing this deal, they'll at best be the answer to a trivia question for the rest of their lives, if not a punch line.' Soccer fans in Japan, whose national team upset Sweden 3-1 to advance to the final, agreed, saying that if the Japanese women throw away the greatest underdog story of the past hundred years, they might as well not come home.

2	Kimberly Guilfoyle Risks Everything To Take Down Obama... She Needs Your Help In a recent segment, Fox News anchor Kimberly Guilfoyle went after Barack Obama for shifting blame to Fox Newsrevealing the real reason he doesnt like the network. President Obama has enjoyed, really, like a fairy-tale romance with the mainstream media, Guilfoyle commented. They very much, they like him personally, they like his politics. Hes the one that really hasnt had a full fact-checking and what-not. Hes actually had, I think, quite a relationship, a nice eight years with the press, with the exception of him calling out and having a problem with the Fox News Channel because were actually reporting all of the news instead of just select positive stores. Youve got to talk about actually whats going on everywhere. She then contrasted this special treatment with that President-elect Donald Trump (who has polar policies than Obama) has been receiving. Nobodys had it so bad as President-elect Donald Trump in terms of the amount of like bashing, trashing in the press, even The New York Times saying, you know, that they got it wrong, they went too far, they need to do a better job of having fair and balanced reporting and covering accurately, she continued. So, this is going to be a real test of journalism in this country, she concluded. What do you think? Do you agree with Guilfoyle? Watch the segment below and share your thoughts with us.

2	Hollywood Stars Rips Apart Obama And Demands THIS Immediately According to recent reports, the U.S. Army just announced that Bowe Bergdahl will be charged with desertion this week. The trial could force the Obama administration to explain the trade for the fugitive that ultimately set five Taliban commanders free from Guantanamo Bay. According to actor Gary Sinise, the administration owes an explanation to the family members of the multiple soldiers who lost their lives while searching for the deserter. Those who served with Bergdahl have made claims that soldiers from his own unit died trying to track him. Bergdahl reportedly disappeared from his base in Afghanistan in 2009, before he was held captive by Taliban militants for years. Now, it appears that Bergdahl could be facing some serious consequences. He has been charged with Article 85 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, or desertion with intent to shirk important or hazardous duty. He has also been charged with Article 99, or misbehavior before the enemy by endangering the safety of a command, unit or place. What do you think of Sinises comments? Are you anxious to hear an explanation as well? 
3	DEA Database on Americans Phone Records Spans 25 Years: ReportMadison Ruppert The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has routinely accessed an ATT database of Americans phone records spanning over 25 years, according to a newly-published 27-page PowerPoint presentation. This comes after it was revealed that the DEA has used NSA surveillance to investigate Americans and that the NSA has collected all U.S. phone records from Verizon. The DEA practice, known as the Hemisphere Project reportedly involved a tight-knit relationship between the agency and the company. The government reportedly paid ATT employees to give DEA agents phone data ranging all the way back to 1987, according to the The New York Times, as part of a relationship that began in 2007. The report states that the government actually pays ATT to place their employees in drug units where they work with DEA agents and local detectives. A relationship of this nature goes far beyond the massive harvesting of phone records by the NSA. An administrative subpoena is not issued by a judge or grand jury not even an entity like the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which rubber stamps almost all applications. Instead, it is issued by a federal agency like the DEA, totally bypassing any and all oversight. Subpoenaing drug dealers phone records is a bread-and-butter tactic in the course of criminal investigations, Justice Department spokesman Brian Fallon said in a statement to the Times. While the Obama administration acknowledged the previously secret program, they claimed that there are no privacy risks presented by the program. The records are maintained at all times by the phone company, not the government, Fallon said. Still, there very well may be Fourth Amendment with the program, according to Daniel Richman, a Columbia law professor and former federal drug prosecutor in Manhattan. The governments involvement with, and interest in, the storage of such an immense amount of data may present constitutional issues, according to Richman, aside from any issues raised by the actual use of the database. This program is paid for by the American people via the DEA and the White House drug policy office, according to Fallon. He said that the cost of the program was not immediately available. Hemisphere simply streamlines the process of serving the subpoena to the phone company so law enforcement can quickly keep up with drug dealers when they switch phone numbers to try to avoid detection, he said. This program does not just include the records of ATT customers. The database includes records of every single call that passes through the massive ATT network. The Hemisphere Projects database continues to grow by a staggering 4 billion records per day. The program was revealed to the Times by Drew Hendricks, a peace activist who received a 27-slide PowerPoint presentation on the program through public information requests filed with police agencies on the west coast. The presentation is unclassified but marked as law enforcement sensitive, and has been carried out in great secrecy, according to the Times. Indeed, one slide says, All requestors are instructed to never refer to Hemisphere in any official document. Furthermore, a Times search of the Nexis database discovered that the Hemisphere Project was not mentioned in any Congressional hearings or news reports since it began in 2007. When CNET contacted ATT about the report, the company said that they could not comment, though they did indicate that they are bound by the governments requests for data. While we cannot comment on any particular matter, we, like all other companies, must respond to valid subpoenas issued by law enforcement, an unnamed ATT spokesperson said to CNET in a statement. Jameel Jaffer, deputy legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union, told the Times that the PowerPoint presentation certainly raises profound privacy concerns. Id speculate that one reason for the secrecy of the program is that it would be very hard to justify it to the public or the courts, Jaffer said.

3	Rep. Radel: Only 4 Calls Out of 1,000 Are For Bombing SyriaMelissa Melton After attending classified intelligence briefings, a Foreign Affairs hearing, consulting with friends, family, mentors and other members of Congress, I will NOT support the proposed military strike in Syria. I will vote NO. The Syrian civil war as it stands now is not a direct or even indirect threat to the United States, our interests or our allies. Furthermore, I fear a strike could potentially destabilize the country and region even more. The results could be catastrophic. Disapproval for any strike in Syria has been overwhelming, with the telephones of Senators and House reps blowing up across the country. Most polls show 90+% of Americans oppose any U.S. military involvement in Syria. This sentiment is mirrored in the United Kingdom, where polls about a potential second vote on a Syria intervention have shown that British voters do not support an attack on Assad targets no matter what. Last week Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) Tweeted any Congress member that votes for striking Syria might as well clean out his or her office because the level of public opposition was unprecedented. Irony is not lost on the fact that the Senate vote is set for September 11. Freedom Outposts Pamela Geller wondered, Are we so far gone that our elected officials would vote to authorize military action in support of al-Qaida on the 12th anniversary of the day that al-Qaida declared war on America and slaughtered 3,000 of our sisters and brothers? Hopefully not. Keep calling. Melissa Melton is a writer, researcher, and analyst for The Daily Sheeple and a co-creator of Truthstream Media. Wake the flock up! 
1	Duane Grunfeld, a 44-year-old Hartford-area insurance-claims processor, experienced a passing moment of satisfaction in his otherwise agonized existence Tuesday when he purchased a new pen. Hartford, CT, insurance-claims processor Duane Grunfeld, who recently enjoyed a brief respite from his bleak, woeful existence when he purchased a UniBall Gel Writer XT pen (left). 'It's a nice pensmooth-writing and easy on the hand,' Grunfeld said of the $2.79 UniBall Gel Writer XT he purchased during his allotted 30-minute lunch break. With its retractable fine point and rubberized grip, the quality pen briefly helped Grunfeld forget about his thinning hair, the severe reprimand he received from his supervisor Monday for tardiness, and the Aug. 11 death of his only companion, a 9-year-old parakeet named Mr. Whistles. New pen. 'It's got a really nice feel when you click it,' Grunfeld said during his three minutes of pen-induced solace. 'I like how the body is made of clear plastic, so you can see the springs inside.' Added the spiritually broken Grunfeld: 'The ink seems really sharp, too. Pens of this kind often tend to bleed.' Grunfeld, a longtime widower who has been passed over for promotion six times during his 10 years with Hartford's TriState Mutual Insurance, said he purchased the UniBall Gel Writer to cheer himself up after 'a particularly tough morning at work.' 'Let's just say things weren't going well,' Grunfeld said, 'so I decided to treat myself to something nice.' Also factoring in the decision to purchase the pen, Grunfeld said, was the cramping he had recently been suffering in his writing hand. 'The claim forms I process all day long have to be filled out in quadruplicate, so my choice of writing instrument is important,' he said. 'TriState provides Bics for its employees, but with those cheap ballpoints, you have to press pretty hard.' Grunfeld made his purchase at a local office-supply store, where he reportedly tested over two dozen pens for fluidity, ease of use, hand comfort and overall 'writing feel.' After trying out pens for 10 minutes on the small scratch pads provided by the various pen manufacturers, the clinically depressed Grunfeld settled on the UniBall Gel Writer. Grunfeld then returned to his office cubicle and broke out the newly purchased pen. 'It writes through all four forms with a lot less pressure,' said Grunfeld, using the pen moments before returning to his usual deep malaise. 'I could process claims all day with this pen.' 
3	Database Shows What Military Equipment Your Local Police Department Has Been StockpilingMac Slavo We know that the Department of Homeland Security has been buying up billions of rounds of ammunition, military grade rifles, armored vehicles, riot gear and a host of other supplies. But local police stockpiles have remained fairly hidden from the public, save for the brief peeks weget during mass policing actions like those in Ferguson, Missouri over the last week. But if youre interested in what your local county has been stockpiling compliments of The Department of Homeland Security, a database from the militarys Defense Logistics Agency can help. The Law Enforcement Support Office, under the 1033 program authorized by the National Defense Authorization Act, helps local police departments obtain military equipment for use in their cities. As reported by The Detroit Free Press, over 8,000participating agencies have taken advantage of LESO offerings from the U.S. military and DHS since the programs inception: Since its inception, the 1033 program has transferred more than $5.1 billion worth of property. In 2013 alone, $449,309,003.71 worth of property was transferred to law enforcement. Simply choose your State and your County and youll have complete access to see how well militarized your local and county police departments are. As an example of the heavy militarization efforts of domestic law enforcement agencies, The Detroit Free Press utilized the LESO database to see what Michigan police have been up to in recent years: James Quinn of The Burning Platform did a similar investigation into his local areaand found that cops in his county of Montgomery, Pennsylvania now have a $733,000 mine resistant vehicle and a $245,000 armored personnel carrier. I sure hope they will be able to clear all the land mines in my upper class suburban county, notes Quinn. The U.S. government has long been war-gaming large-scale economic collapse scenarios and civil unrest simulations, leaving many Americans wondering if they know something we dont. Use theLESO database above to find outwhat theyve been stockpiling and what you can expect to see in your local neighborhood if the worst happens.

1	Saying he was excited to finally get out there and defend his policies in front of the entire nation, President Barack Obama told reporters he was energized and eager to participate in his first debate of the 2012 election cycle Tuesday night. Everyonemyself, my opponent, pundits, the mediawe all recognize how crucial the first debate is, and thats why I cant wait to knock it out of the park, Obama said Monday during a break from his near constant debate training sessions, which he described as essential for making a strong first impression on viewers. After all the sound bites and attack ads, its great to at long last have the opportunity to appear alongside my opponent and offer a full-throated argument in support of my plan to return our middle class to prosperity. You dont get many chances to clearly articulate your policies and rebut those of your opponent in front of the entire nation, Obama continued. And I dont intend to let this opportunity slip by. Telling reporters he needs to be at top of his game if he hopes to win over independent voters in the first debate, the president said he has been hard at work honing his rhetorical skills so he can set the tone for the rest of the campaign. He noted that in particular he has focused on not being afraid to go on the offensive and on perfecting his body language, which he said would be absolutely essential for gaining the upper hand in the first contest between the candidates. Moreover, after months of being attacked on the campaign trail, Obama acknowledged he was looking forward to finally dispelling what he described as baseless allegations leveled against his administration, saying he would relish the chance to set the record straight once and for all. In addition, sources confirmed Obama has eagerly awaited this, the first of three debates, so he can seize on the Romney campaigns numerous gaffes and repeatedly draw attention to the GOP nominees shifting policies. Hoping to employ Romneys own words against him, Obama said it was vital that he use his initial debate appearance to drive home the message that his opponent is unprincipled and out of touch. Look, its the first debate, which many people would argue is the most important of them all, so I have a responsibility here to come out swinging and really set the pace for the next two matchups, Obama said. Now, Gov. Romney is also aware of just how important the first debate is, so we expect him to be on the attack. But now is my first chance to really show people Im completely focused and not at all rusty, so expect a spirited discussion. Admitting a subpar performance on his part could give Romney a significant bump in the polls and critically shift the electoral landscape just weeks before Election Day, Obama vowed to approach the first debate very seriously. The president said he and his team had devised rebuttals to every possible Romney answer and were working on ways he could stay bold, aggressive, and on-message throughout the evening, adding that he did not want to take any chances in the first debate and be forced to rely on a rebound in the next two. Obama also told reporters he was fully aware that the first debate would be watched by as many as 70 million Americans, and that this is the big one. The bottom line is that I have a much stronger plan for middle-class families, I actually have consistent and detailed policies on the economy and the deficit, and I have proven myself to be strong on national security, Obama said. All I need to do in the first debate, really, is make this distinction to the American people, and then this first debate should pretty much seal my reelection. Frankly, itd be pretty embarrassing if I couldnt pull that off, Obama added. 
3	South Carolina Lawmakers Pass Bill Effectively Nullifying Federal Hemp Banselfnews Post Introduced by Sen. Kevin Bryant, along with cosponsors Sen. Lee Bright and Sen. Tom Davis, S.0839 passed by a 72-28 vote. The Senate previously passed by the bill a vote of 42-0, and it will now go to Gov. Nikki Haleys desk for a signature. The bill reads, in part, It is lawful for an individual to cultivate, produce, or otherwise grow industrial hemp in this State to be used for any lawful purpose, including, but not limited to, the manufacture of industrial hemp products, and scientific, agricultural, or other research related to other lawful applications for industrial hemp. Three states Colorado, Oregon and Vermont have already passed similar measures. Farmers in southeast Colorado began harvesting the plant in 2013, effectively nullifying federal restrictions. A similar bill passed the Tennessee legislature this year and awaits action from Gov. Haslam. Experts suggest the U.S. market for hemp at around $500 million per year. They count as many as 25,000 uses for industrial hemp, including food, cosmetics, plastics and bio-fuel. The U.S. currently ranks as the worlds number one importer of hemp fiber for various products, with China and Canada serving as the top two exporters in the world. 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 say they think the DEA serves as an attack dog of sorts to thwart hemp competition with major industries including cotton, paper/lumber, oil, and others. This year, President Barack Obama signed a new farm bill into law, including a provision allowing a handful of states to begin limited research programs growing hemp. The new hemp amendment S.0839 now moves on to Gov. Haleys desk for a signature.

2	Hollywood Blackballs Tom Selleck For Saying THIS About Obama [VIDEO] Actor Tom Selleck has had a love-hate relationship with the media over the past few years, but he has made one thing very clearhe isnt afraid to speak out about his valueseven if they go against the typical Hollywood grain. His fearlessness has made him a hero of sorts among conservative Americas, and that popularity has amplified with Blue Bloods. In a new, personal video, Selleck shares what he considers to be the most important thing in life. The greatest satisfaction in life I know is family, he claims in the footage. Theyve been my best friends and the people who keep me in line. I wouldnt be obviously where I am today without family, and support, structure and values I got from my parents, he continues with heartfelt humility. Risk is the price you pay for opportunity! he concludes, sharing some of the wisdom he has learned throughout the years. Watch the touching video below and tell us what you think. Do you support Tom Selleck?

2	Hillary Is FURIOUS After Judge Jeanine Takes An Epic Stand For Donald Trump On Sunday, Judge Jeanine Pirro launched an attack on establishment Republicans after they went after Donald Trump. Pirros main target was South Carolinas Nikki Haley, who talked poorly of Trump at the State of the Union address. Who anointed you to take a shot at the leading contender for president in your own party? Judge Jeanine said. In a nationally televised historic rebuttal, when you could have laid out a strategy of how the very fabric of America has changed under this Democratic so-called leadership. And now you epitomize the very establishment that you promised to change, she added. We love Judge Jeanine for taking a stand for Trump. There is so much controversy surrounding him, but he is the only one that could pull off the job of president. Does Donald Trump have your vote? 
3	U.S. Senator Calls For Federal Investigation Of Billboards Spying On PublicBy Nicholas West One area that seems to be generating increased concern is the use of biometrics and mobile phone location data to identify shopping habits. Several years ago a notice appeared at Promenade Temecula in California, and Short Pump Town Center in Richmond, Va. which advised shoppers that their cell phone signal would be used to track them as they move from store to store. Despite privacy assurances, that test-run produced enough outrage to force the UK maker of the technology, Path Intelligence, as well as mall management to halt the surveillance. Senator Charles Schumer was embroiled in the debate and subsequently put forth a Code of Conduct to promote consumer privacy and responsible data use for retail location analytics. At the time it was described as a step in the right direction, while other lawmakers still saw major privacy gaps. Now this type of technology has trickled out of private enterprise and into public space. And, once again, Senator Charles Schumer is making statements that he seeks to rein it in. At issue is a new type of billboard that uses facial recognition surveillance combined with mobile phone tracking to study travel and shopping patterns. The program, called RADAR, is the brainchild of Clear Channel Outdoor Americas working together with a range of tech companies including ATT. Clear Channel has already rolled it out in more than 10 major markets and, if all goes according to plan, could blanket the country by the end of the year. One of the major markets currently in operation is Charles Schumers New York. It is worth noting right up front that Charles Schumer has given mixed signals about his full dedication to civil liberties as he has backed other draconian measures such as a No Ride list for train travel, and legislation to severely restrict 3D weapons manufacturing. He also ruffled feathers when he suggested that military veterans should take a pay cut, but Congress should not. That said, on the issue of privacy, hes been reasonably consistent; he was one who called for an FTC investigation over Google and Apples privacy policies. Nevertheless, it would be wise to keep in mind that when a professional politician speaks, its often helpful to have a dose of salt on hand. In this specific case, he is at least saying the right things: New York Sen. Charles Schumer has dubbed Clear Channel Outdoor Americas so-called RADAR program spying billboards, warning the service may violate privacy rights by tracking peoples cell phone data via the ad space. A persons cellphone should not become a James Bond-like personal tracking device for a corporation to gather information about consumers without their consent, Schumer, a Democrat, said in a statement ahead of a planned news conference Sunday in Times Square, where the company operates billboards. (Source) At the very least, this should begin to open a more public debate about what already has been going on without many people being aware. Clear Channel admits to operating 675,000 billboards across the world. Naturally, the company insists that all data collected is anonymized something we have heard time and time again from other companies and governments, only to be followed by data leaks, hacks, and various forms of mining. Now is the time to become aware of these plans, as well as other even more advanced forms. Switzerlands Project Skye is creating a fleet of drone billboards no word yet on whether or not biometrics will be embedded. And perhaps most troubling with these high-tech billboards is something that I previously reported, but bears repeating in light of Schumers proposed investigation: Hidden Cameras Are Being Used to Measure and Manipulate Political Views Around the World. This agenda even has its own area of study, known as neuropolitics; and it is not limited only to dictatorial regimes. It seems that the country to have first used this technology was Mexico in a 2012 campaign, and it continues today. Subsequently, campaigns in Poland, Turkey, and Colombia have gone on record with admissions of currently testing and employing these techniques. The following countries are listed as having pursued Neuropolitics in limited ways and/or intend to use the technology for upcoming campaigns: While it is highly doubtful that Charles Schumer will go as far as revealing the possibility of using billboard tracking technologies in U.S. political campaigns, for now he is to be cautiously commended for bringing to light that which has already been hidden for far too long.

Get to the injustice being put on the American people of MAKING US excepting these illegal islamic muslims who are ourt character of the rest of the citizens of our country. We as a country HAVE NEVER GOTTEN ALONG WITH THESE PEOPLE, WE HAVE A HISTORY OF NOT TRUSTING THEM . Not many of us go to their country. and bimbo wants us to trust them -REALLY, EVEN OUR MILITARY DOESNT TRUST THEM. They are here for one reason and one reason only to take over our country and we arent wanting to go along with this. Please tell us all about the illegal Muslim immigants. Ive read exactly zero about that and I read the news for several hours everyday, I dont watch mainstream media either. So where are these hordes of illegal Muslims coming from? How many are there? Where are they arriving to? Which news is telling you this? Please include at least 2 reliable sources, as that is standard when presenting facts. We have the Christian Dominionists/theocrats on our front door step in the form of Ted Cruz, who wants to make America under fundie Christian Old Testament law. And youre worried about non-existant illegal Muslims taking over?? Weve ALREADY been taken over by the Christian fundies, who have taken over our govt and and our lives. Here is one that you possible didnt read. A few months ago obama had them coming in on the UPS plane at night and loading up in buses to where ever. NOw I read alot during the day on different websites But I have noticed for awhile now that the news of them are becoming scant in reporting. Media is in obama pocket as you well know. Now what I read was over 6to 9 months ago. I have even noticed how the TV is having alot of repeat of shows and movies. There has been alot of under the table stuff going on., from other sites that I have been reading. Barbara, unfortunately UPS and FedEx planes are still flying in loaded with ILLEGAL ALIENS and DHS busses take them away under cover of darkness. I have friends near flight paths who pay attention. Thank you Bob, that is good info to know. everyone needs to know what this bugger is doing. He is as evil as they come. I wish a hole to open and swallow him up.!!!! I work for UPS and I can tell you that the planes are set up to haul cargo, not people. The whole floor of the planes are roller balls that allow the air containers to be rolled around and locked into place. The only such anti-LGBT laws were passed in only two states Mississippi and North Carolina and those laws were passed and signed to keep mens and womens restrooms separate. Why should men who feel they are women enter a womens restroom while mothers and daughters are already using that facility? The Target stores have already lost $1.5 billion due to their policy of allowing such men to use the womens restroom and putting women and girls at risk of sexual assault. non-existant illegal mudslimes At night, those who live near flight paths can hear heavily loaded aircraft overhead. Under cover of darkness, one can see these planes taxi to the edge of airports, unload their non-white human cargo down the steps and onto DHS busses as many as 18 busses at a time. The windows on these busses are blacked out. As they leave the airport, the busses disappear into the darkness and spread their cargo to who knows where. This is not the America I want to live in. TRUMP To Make America Great Again! The media has made no secret of Obamas bringing in thousands of Syrian refugees, even after our intelligence community has stated that ISIS will certainly be infiltrating them. These people are being resettled all over the country and even local officials are not informed of it I came here to chew bubble gum and kick assand I.m all out of bubble gum. Rowdy rod piper They Live (RIP) What they admit to is ALWAYS a very small portion of whats REALLY going on. 
2	Duke Basketball Coach DESTROYS Obama On Live TV After Winning NCAA Championship As any fan of March madness knows, the Duke Blue Devils just won the NCAA Championships, led by Coach Mike Krzyzewski. As part of being recognized, Krzyzewski accepted an award at the Army awards conference, in front of men and women in uniform as well as defense contractors. He took his moment in the spotlight to let the world know what he thinks of Obama and the presidents decision not to deploy troops to fight ISIS. I know its upsetting to many of you when you hear no boots on the ground, Krzyzewski told his audience. It upsets me too because thats like saying Im not going to play two of my best players. Krzyzewski went on to touch on the fundamental strategies of war, and how they apply to basketball. Its about letting your opponent know that we are going to use our best players, he continued. Now whether you use them or not, thats up to the coach. You never tell an opponent you are not going to use them This is not the first time that Krzyzewski has spoken out against Obama. In 2009, he made headlines after telling Obama to focus on the economy instead of his bracket. I want to thank you for the countless times your boots have been on the ground, and as a result have given me an opportunity to live in a free country, to do what I want to do, to coach the United States team, the Duke team, whatever, Krzyzewski continued. So on behalf of the ordinary people, we love you and thank you for doing that. What do you think of Krzyzewskis speech? 
3	Synthetic Police Are Coming: DARPA Engineering Autonomous RobotsSusanne Posel, Contributor These robots are being created to assist in excavation and rescue missions, according to DARPA. They could also be employed to evacuation operations during either man-made or natural disasters. Kent Massey, director of advanced programs for HDT Robotics,who attended the DARPA meeting in which the purpose of the allocation of humanoid robotic technology was explained, said: The goal of this Grand Challenge is to create a humanoid robot that can operate in an environment built for people and use tools made for people. The specific challenge is built around an industrial disaster response. Another of DARPAs interestsinto robotics is the Avatar for the allocation of bi-pedal robots and essential super-soldiers and has devoted $7 million of its $2.8 billion 2012 budget to developing interfaces and algorithms to enable a soldier to effectively partner with a semi-autonomous bi-pedal machine and allow it to act as the soldiers surrogate. These human-controlled robots will be strong enough to clear a room and facilitate sentry control and combat causality recovery. Yet these terminators would easily be the most effective weapon against civil unrest or radical revolutionaries that did not subscribe to the globalist agenda. Stanford Universitys Aerospace Robotics Laboratory (ARL) wants to introduce autonomous robots into law enforcement situations; such as response in lieu of police SWAT teams. Autonomous robots, equipped with Taser guns have already been sold to police departments across the nation. iRobot of Massachusetts manufacturesPackBotwho carries lethal weapons. While these robots were first introduced as assistance in military missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, they have found their way into local police departments. The Naval Research Laboratory interestsSAFFiR, the Shipboard Autonomous Firefighting Robot. SAFFiR is an autonomous bipedal humanoid robot, based on the CHARLI-L1 robot created at Virginia Tech. This robot can interact with humans with a comprehensive response system that utilizes language including slang to make it more familiar. A robot that can hold a conversation and fight fires is quite impressive. In 2008, the Pentagon solicited for the advancement of Multi-Robot Pursuit System technology which is the development of a team of robots to search for and detect human presence in an indoor environment. These robots, although only semi-autonomous, have been theorized from the gaming community arising out of first-person shooting games. A team of robots could be under the direction of one human operator. The purpose of this robotic technology would be to seek out and detect non-cooperative human subjects. The beginning stages of the global Elites visions for robots to hunt down humans like a pack of dogs are becoming a reality. These robots will be armed and autonomous. Their cranium sensors will be able to detect human breath and the radio waves associated with a human heart beat. A force of robotic peacekeepers that are programed to become violent without remorse will enable the government to organize and act where human law enforcement may hesitate. What if?

3	Report: Militarized Police Treating Citizens as Wartime EnemiesJoe Wolverton, II This is the situation as revealed in a new report published by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) entitled War Comes Home: The Excessive Militarization of American Policing. A SWAT team blew a hole in my 2 year-old son is perhaps the best example of a headline announcing the horrific impact this conversion can have when left unchecked. Asreported by The New American, a toddler is in a medically induced coma after a Cornelia, Georgia, SWAT team tossed a flash-bang grenade into his crib during the execution of a no-knock warrant. Bounkham Phonesavanh is 19 months old and was asleep in his crib when police broke down the front door in the early morning hours on May 28 and threw the grenade into the front room. His mother, father, and three sisters were in the room as well. Earlier this week, the babys mother, Alecia Phonesavanh, described the ordeal in detail, including the relevant account of the near fatal blurring of the line between soldier and cop: Flashbang grenades were created for soldiers to use during battle. When they explode, the noise is so loud and the flash is so bright that anyone close by is temporarily blinded and deafened. Its been three weeks since the flashbang exploded next to my sleeping baby, and hes still covered in burns. SWAT [Special Weapons And Tactics] teams were created in the late 1960s as quasi-militaristic squads capable of addressing serious and violent situations that presented imminent threats such as riots, barricade and hostage scenarios, and active shooter or sniper situations. The first SWAT team, at the Los Angeles Police Department, was developed in the wake of a series of emergency situations in which local police felt unable to respond as swiftly or as effectively as was necessary. SWAT teams have since expanded in number, and are used with greater frequency and, increasingly, for purposes for which they were not originally intended overwhelmingly to serve search warrants in drug investigations. In the case of Bounkham Phonesavanh, SWAT team members executed the no-knock warrant after receiving a tip from an informant that he had bought methamphetamine from a man named Wanis Thometheva earlier that day. Precisely the perversion of the power documented in the ACLU report. The 96-page report reveals that the increasingly militaristic police forces equipped, trained, and often outfitted by the Pentagon are behaving with a belligerence more at home on the battlefield in the face of an armed enemy than in neighborhoods while performing routine duties once accomplished with little more than a squad car and abadge. The sources of the funds that equip formerly cash-strapped towns and cities are also covered in the ACLU report. As the organization writes: Law enforcement agencies have become equipped to carry out these SWAT missions in part by federal programs such as the Department of Defenses 1033 Program, the Department of Homeland Securitys grants to local law enforcement agencies, and the Department of Justices Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program. Neighborhoods are not war zones, and our police officers should not be treating us like wartime enemies, the ACLU says. The authors of the study recognize that their findings are not new, but only another brick of evidence in the wall of proof incriminating the police for treating Americans as suspects, rather than as fellow citizens. This report provides a snapshot of the realities of paramilitary policing, building on a body of existing work demonstrating that police militarization is a pervasive problem, the paper explains. Local police departments should develop their own internal policies calling for appropriate restraints on the use of SWAT and should avoid all training programs thatencourage a warrior mindset, the report suggests. Finally, the ACLU report notes that if the federal government gives the police a huge cache of military-style weaponry, they are highly likely to use it, even if they do not really need to. This analysis of human nature is not unique to the ACLU. Another expert agrees: Jim Fitzgerald worked for eight years as a vice and narcotics squad detective in Newark, New Jersey, before joining the staff of The John Birch Society. He is point man for the conservative organizations Support Your Local Police initiative. In an interview withThe New American, Fitzgerald said there is virtually no use for the military-grade equipment being bought by local law enforcement with DHS grant money. The only reason to have this equipment is to use it, Fitzgerald said, and it is likely it would be used against local citizens who have risen up and created some sort of civil disorder. Paradoxically, the polices push to be prepared and trained to quell civil unrest is fomenting the feelings that could create such an uprising. Americans are tired of reading reports of law enforcement behaving less like the police and more like the gestapo, less like servants of the law and more like servants of the state, deployed with the training, technology, tactics, and weapons capable of enforcing the increasingly unconstitutional edicts of the ruling regime.

1	Still reeling from having witnessed a brutal five-car pileup Thursday on I-495, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has authorized the reduction of the federal speed limit to five miles per hour, effective immediately. 'There was just twisted metal everywhere, and this one guy had blood all over the side of his face and the paramedics kept telling him to stay awakeit was so bad, you don't even know,' said a trembling LaHood, adding that if Americans had seen what he just saw, they would think twice about ever getting behind the wheel again. 'People forget that cars are these big, heavy, fast-moving things that can just utterly destroy you. Make the slightest mistake at 65 mph and you could end up dead in an instant. Literally an instant.' LaHood later stated Americans should drive only when absolutely necessary because they definitely don't want to end up like that one guy. 
3	The Smart Meter Divide and Conquer Model in RelationshipsHeather Callaghan But not for reasons you might think No, it is not the negative health effects of smart meters, the invasiveness of surveillance, the insecurity that comes from remote control or the idea that smart meters are actually leading to soaring energy costs that leads to conflict according to researchers. In fact, the idea of preventing smart meters from taking the UK by storm never enters the picture. Resistance is futile. This study wants you to get used to their calculating presence. Very snug and comfy with smart meters. Use them to monitor your roommates energy usage and let them know they have no right to that energy. It wants to categorize your behavior and modify it. Most of all, it wants you to be that hundredth monkey and become an ambassador to make sure none of you aretaking using the energy resources that you all paid for. While the researchers talk about reducing fear, guilt and shame among housemates, the true goal of this study is induce those very feelings into the public if they use more than their fair share and free-ride the earth. It is openly influencing the public to practice hyper vigilance on others private habits and to correct them immediately. Otherwise, your relationship could be on the line! Any emphasis, quote marks and non-numerical parentheses below are my own commentary. Research from academics at The University of Nottingham has revealed that new technology to allow people to monitor their energy usage in the home could be about to ratchet up the tension. That smart meters could cause conflict for housemates. An unlikely team of technology experts and psychologists joined forces to find that meters which allowed residents to look at both communal and individuals energy use could lead to feelings of shame and anger among those house sharing, potentially creating conflict. Dr Caroline Leygue, from the Universitys Horizon Digital Economy Research, said: Importantly, beyond simple effects on energy use, we were interested in how these displays influenced emotions and the interactions that people had around them. For example, if people saw that someone used more than their fair share of energy, depending on the display they felt more anger, or guilt and fear not the intended consequence of installing an energy display! Right. (Because its the governments job to monitor to your usage.) Next year will see the start of a Government initiative to roll out the installation of new Smart meters in all UK homes by 2020 in an effort to tackle the problem of soaring consumer energy bills. The smart meters will allow people to see how much energy they are using and how much it is costing. The idea is to encourage consumers to use less gas and electricity. However, to-date there has been little research into how the new smart meters might change behavior, particularly in homes of multiple-occupancy despite the fact that less than 30 per cent of homes in the UK are currently inhabited by only one person. The Nottingham research, published in the journal Frontiers in Energy Research: Energy Systems and Policy, randomly placed volunteers into one of two theoretical scenarios one in which they all split the energy bill but one or more people are using more than their fair share free-riding and another in which the energy is used equally in the household. Both scenarios depicted a situation where the study participant shared a house with three other people that he or she did not know a common situation in the UK, according to them. In the equal split scenario, it was explained that each person paid 20 ($32 USD) each towards the bill, while in the free-riding scenario the energy display showed that more energy was used by one or more people, yet the bill was still equally divided with each housemate paying 35 ($57 USD). Within the scenarios, they were shown one of three types of smart meter displays that, to a varying degree, could identify which housemates were using more than their fair share. They then had to answer a series of questions about the scenarios, their reactions to the situation and how much energy they were likely to use in the future. The results showed that the more information people had on the display about their other housemates usage, the more angry they became and wanted to punish those who used too much. As a reaction to this, more than one-third of people (36.4 per cent) said they would call a house meeting to discuss the issue, while almost one-quarter (24.7 per cent) said they would make sure that the free-rider would pay more in proportion to the energy they had used. More than one-fifth of people (23 per cent) said they would confront the person using more electricity and ask them to reduce their electricity use. No one said they would ostracise the free rider (what??), just 1.8 per cent of the participants said they would gossip about the free-rider with other housemates and interestingly less than one per cent (0.8 per cent) would decide to do nothing. In situations where only an average energy use display was used, people were more likely to feel fearful and guilty, which was also associated with an intention to reduce their own energy use. They were also more likely to use a more conciliatory approach when dealing with a situation in which an unidentified housemate had used more energy, such as asking all housemates to switch off appliances when not using them. The research has important implications for the design of future domestic smart meters. It shows that average energy display smart meters, similar to those being rolled out across the country, are more effective in encouraging people to reduce their energy use. However, in a situation where one housemate, who cannot be easily identified, is using more than their fair share of energy, it leads to negative emotions which could cause anger and conflict in the household. Oh, so thats how smart meters cause conflict. Original press release Recent posts byHeather Callaghan:

3	Cargill and Others Behind anti-Organic Stanford StudyAnti-organic study is not news, rather, coordinated propaganda campaign. Harry Wallop of the London Telegraph ends his anti-organic food editorial with the following sentence: Tomorrow, the baby is going to get an extra dollop of pesticide-sprayed carrots. Whether or not Wallop is as brain-addled as he leads on to being, the point of his editorial is to encourage similar attitudes amongst the Telegraphs readership, attempting to manipulate public perception in the wake of a recent Stanford study regarding organic food. Whether or not readers of the Telegraph will put their own health and that of their children at risk for the sake of protecting big-agris bottom line and the faltering paradigm that big-agri products are safe for human consumption simply because Harry Wallop thinks its good to feed his baby with pesticide-sprayed carrots remains to be seen. The London Telegraph, when not fabricating news to support Englands latest imperial adventures overseas, is at the forefront of many of the largest corporate-financier funded lobbying campaigns. Recently, someone has splurged, and splurged big on anti-organic food lobbying built atop a suspect Stanford study. A Flawed Study Two news cycles have already been dedicated to trashing organic food. Organic food is free of pesticides and genetic manipulation, both of which are proven to cause learning disabilities, decreased IQ, sterility, and a myriad of other health problems including a wide variety of cancers. Indeed, the nutritional value would be similar but the entire point of eating organic is not because of vastly superior nutritional value, but to avoid the extras included with products from big-agri corporations. The Stanford study intentionally dismisses concerns regarding the presence of pesticides by simply claiming levels were within legal tolerances. No discussion was made on whether legal tolerances equated to safe tolerances, nor was there any mention made of the harmful effects of genetically modified organisms (GMO) or other controversial food additives found in non-organic food products. So why the strawman argument? A Corporate-funded Study The Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI) relies on support from its friends, as well as from national and international foundations and corporations, for the funding of the Institutes research, teaching and outreach activities. The Center for Health Policy is a subsidiary of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI). So who are these friends, national and international foundations and corporations funding the research of FSI and its subsidiary, the Stanford Center for Health Policy? Image: From Stanford Center for Health Policys own website it is admitted that national and international foundations and corporations fund its research and outreach activities. This confirms the suspicions of an increasingly aware public who saw the study as biased, contradictory of both logic and ethics, and the result of insidious corporate-funding. According to FSIs 2011 Annual Report (page 38, .pdf) Agricultural giant Cargill, British Petroleum (BP), the Bill Malinda Gates Foundation (heavily invested in both Cargill and big-agri giant Monsanto), the Ford Foundation, Google, Goldman Sachs, the Smith Richardson Foundation, and many other corporate-financier, Fortune 500 special interests. Image: From Stanfords 2011 FSI Annual Report (page 38, .pdf), of which the Center for Health Policy is a subsidiary, is funded by Cargill, the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation (heavily invested in both Cargill and big-agri giant Monsanto), and a myriad of other Fortune 500 corporate-financier special interests. The report at face value is throwaway propaganda, but its funding reveals a more insidious, coordinated effort to manipulate public perception, stretching across academia, mass media, government, and big business. (click image to enlarge) That none of this is mentioned, and the lack of independence and transparency involved in the study and its presentation to the public, overturns the credibility of both Stanford, and the Western media machine that so eagerly shoveled the results out to the public. Combined with the fact that the study itself is flawed, and the concerted, disingenuous nature with which it is being promoted to the public, a premeditated public relations campaign, bought and paid for by Stanfords FSI sponsors, most notably Cargill and the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation is self-evident. What to Do? We should also redouble our efforts at supporting local farmers, attending and contributing to local farmers markets, and investigating the possibility of growing, if only a small percentage, our own herbs, fruits, and vegetables. Freedom and self-determination come from economic independence, self-reliance, and self-sufficiency. The most fundamental form of economic independence is having a safe, secure, and local food supply operated for, by, and of the people. Cementing this emerging paradigm, in spite of the crass, juvenile, even criminally irresponsible editorials like that of the Telegraphs Harry Wallop, and multimillion dollar studies subsidized by Cargill and the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation, is the first step on extending this paradigm shift to other areas required for maintaining and advancing modern civilization. Stanfords most recent study is essentially the university giving back to Cargill and others.

2	Watch What Kayne West Does Immediately After Wife Kim Kardashian Robbed At Gun Point [VIDEO] As youve probably heard by now, US reality TV star Kim Kardashian West was robbed at gunpoint on Sunday at a luxury residence in Paris by at least two men dressed as police officers. Jewelry amounting up to $6.7m was stolen from the room. The concierge reportedly led the gunman to the residence, where they tied up Kardashian West in the bathroom. A spokeswoman for Kardashian says she was badly shaken but physically unharmed. The mother of two was quick to leave France after the incident, flying out of Paris on a private jet. A source has told BBC the attack was carried about by five men, who forced the buildings security guard to show them where Kardashian west was staying. The hotel can cost as much as 15,000 pounds a night. One of the men reportedly put a gun to her head while they robbed her of her valuables. They then locked in a bathroom and escaped. The men fled the scene on bicycles. Kanye West was on stage at the Meadows Music and Arts Festival in New York at the time of the robbery. He put an immediate end to his set, telling fans: Im sorry, family emergency. I have to stop the show. The public had mixed reactions to the incident. And many even applauded it. People making jokes about Kim Kardashian tonight would do well to remember that shes a mother, a daughter, a wife, a friend, TV host James Corden tweeted. Be nice or shut up.

As the Washington Free Beacon reported, the DOJ has requested an increase in its 2014 budget not just for gun safety initiatives, but specifically for gun safety technology grants: But as Western Journalism pointed out, these technologies could also easily be exploited to take a persons Second Amendment rights away in the blink of a digital eye, as states are already on the way to requiring smart chips in guns that, when turned off, render the weapons inoperable: A 2002 smart gun technology law passed in New Jersey will go into effect as soon as the appropriate technology has been designed and tested and ready to go. Under the law, the technology will be required in all new handguns sold three years after the state attorney general determines a smart gun prototype is safe and commercially available. In addition, Weapons used by law enforcement officers would be exempt. See how that works? Agents of the government will have guns that work, chip-free, while the peoples arms will be subject to the whims of government-enforced smart technology. In the meantime, DARPA, the Department of Defenses research arm, is working on a project called MEMS, or Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems tiny electrical elements that, when embedded within a gun for example, can render the weapon inoperable at a whim. For example, the gun will only be able to shoot at certain times or within a certain area. Theres just a virtually unlimited potential, Chris Harmer, an analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, told Bloomberg Businessweek of MEMS last August. Back in January, President Obama signed two new executive actions establishing guidelines to quote, keep guns out of potentially dangerous hands. In this regard, the New Americans Joe Wolverton points out that our president is once again acting as if he forgot the Constitution even exists: Even though the Second Amendment is crystal clear that the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed, slowly but surely, in the federal governments burgeoning quest for ever more centralized power, Uncle Sam is finding creative new technologically advanced ways to infringe the hell out of it every chance he gets.

1	Following Sundays pathetic excuse for an agreement on raising the governments borrowing limit, Democrats and Republicans took time to celebrate the meager, ineffective deal, calling it a testament to the not-so-great things that can happen in Washington when both parties barely come together and agree to not really accomplish anything. It took months of phone calls, negotiations, and meetings, but finally we created a pretty sad version of a framework that, were happy to say, none of us is really proud of, and that doesnt really do much to solve our countrys fiscal problems at all, said House Speaker John Boehner, who gave a cheerful thumbs up and added that the sorry piece of legislation was expected to pass both houses of Congress with a really pitiful display of bipartisan support. Once again, Democrats and Republicans have demonstrated why our mangled, fractured, barely functioning democracy is the greatest in the world. At press time, members of both parties were trying to explain to their supporters how the budget agreement could in any possible way be construed as a victory for them. 
2	The Average Person Can Only Find 4 Of 6 Words Hidden In This Picture This rainy scene makes me wish it were winter still. I could go for a nice long thunderstorm. They are the most relaxing things in the world. The clap of thunder and the flash of lightning are beautiful in every single way. I would not mind being caught in a rainstorm. It would be refreshing and extremely enjoyable. I would look just as happy as the cat. The 6 words in this game were extremely tough to find. I struggled with the last two for a while. I really thought the cat would have a word on him but he did not. Instead the words were scattered elsewhere. How long did it take you to find 4? 5? All 6? Well it took me about 25 seconds to find all of them. It may not be the best time but at least I found them all! Have you found showers? What about clouds? Maybe you should look for moist? There is also a Stormy in there. Puddles and Wet are the last two. Did you find them all? Moist was the hardest for me to find. I was looking everywhere before I looked towards the drain. Im sure some people found moist right away. How long did it take you? 
1	Introducing Vinnie Del Negro as a 'great guy who has just hit a rough patch and needs somewhere to stay,' Bulls GM John Paxson introduced his team to their new head coach on Wednesday. 'I want everyone to extend Vinnie every courtesy while he implements his offense and tries to get his life back together,' Paxson told his team in the somewhat tense United Center meeting. 'Look, you know how it is. You've been there. You lost 49 games last season, so don't judge. Just help him out. Let him sleep on the couch, and when he needs to talk about it, listen.' An embarrassed Del Negro thanked the team for taking him in, and promised he would stay out of their way and move on again as soon as he felt he was ready. 
3	Imperial Warrior Kerry at StateStephen Lendman, Contributor She hopes to become Americas first woman president. If successful, shell likely exceed his worst policies. He did what supporters thought impossible. He outdid George Bush. Imagine whats ahead in term two. Kerry was chosen to further Americas imperium. He supports global wars. Hell differ from Clinton only in style and tone. Longstanding policies wont change. America seeks unchallenged global dominance. War is the bottom line option when other methods fail. In November 1984, Kerry became junior Massachusetts senator. He succeeded Paul Tsongas. He stepped down for health reasons.In 1992, his Democrat presidential nomination efforts failed. In January 1997, he succumbed to pneumonia and liver failure complications from cancer. On January 2, 1985, Kerry took office. For 28 years, he supported Americas imperial agenda. In 2004, electoral fraud deprived him of defeating George Bush. He was heavily favored to win. Electronic voting machine manipulation prevented it. Kerrys job involves letting other nations know whos boss. What America says goes. Outliers arent tolerated. Go along or be severely punished. US foreign policy isnt pretty. Permanent global wars reflect its harshness. Kerry wont change things. He, Obama, and other administration hardliners are in lockstep. They prioritize imperial lawlessness. Kerrys come a long way from November 6, 1971. He told Washington, DCs WRC-TV that he gave back, (he) cant remember, six, seven, eight, nine medals. It was his way of protesting Americas Vietnam War involvement. He was a member of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW). On April 22, 1971, he testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. In part, he said: He came to discuss an investigation involving over 150 honorably discharged and many very highly decorated veterans. They admitted committing Southeast Asian war crimes. Kerry explained. (They) personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, bl(ew) up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages (like) Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravages of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country. He called Washingtons claim about preserving Southeast Asian freedom the height of criminal hypocrisy. We saw firsthand how money from American taxes was used for a corrupt dictatorial regime. We rationalized destroying villages.to save them. We saw America lose her sense of morality as she accepted very cooly a My Lai. Many other gruesome atrocities followed. Others preceded it. Its standard policy in all US wars. Civilians are as fair game as combatants. They suffer most. Women and children arent excluded. We learned the meaning of free fire zones, shooting anything that moves, and we watched while America placed a cheapness on the lives of orientals, said Kerry. We have come here.because we believe this body can be responsive to the will of the people (saying) we should be out of Vietnam now. That was then. This is now. In the 1980s, Kerry became a committed Cold Warrior. Until it dissolved in February 2011, he was prominent as a Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) member. Its agenda was far to the right of center. Ralph Nader called it corporatist (and) soulless. It was ideologically hardline. Policies were anti-populist, anti-labor, anti-welfare, pro-business, and pro-imperial in pursuit of unchallenged US global dominance. Kerry was fully on board. He remains true to its ideological principles. Hes the Senates richest member. His estimated net worth approaches $300 million. Including his wifes wealth, some believe it exceeds $1 billion. Shes heir to the Heinz fortune. Kerrys voting record reflects support for NAFTA, Big Media, welfare reform, Plan Columbia, Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF/September 2001), the USA Patriot Act, its 2006 and 2011 reauthorizations, national defense legislation, No Child Left Behind (to privatize public education), Americas war on terror, military force against Iraq, Obamas war on Libya, ravaging Syria, targeting Iran, imposing tougher lawless sanctions, Israeli lawlessness, energy policies benefiting Big Oil, Obamacare, reduced food stamp funding, and freedom threatening cybersecurity legislation among other undemocratic measures. He wants special forces death squad numbers doubled. He wants them deployed globally. He wants their role in Americas war on terror enhanced. He wants Americas military modernized. He wants it better able to wage global wars. He wants stepped up intelligence gathering. He favors tougher anti-terrorist policies. He supports offensive national missile defense. Hes against cutting nuclear weapons below START levels. Hes hostile to Russo/Chinese ambitions. He endorses 9/11 Commission distortions. He wants its recommendations implemented. He has close Wall Street ties. Sourcewatch said his extended family accumulated great wealth. His parents were upper-middle class. His maternal grandfather, James Grant Forbes, was born in Shanghai, China.He got rich trafficking in opium and China trade. Kerry is distantly related to four US presidents and European royals. He and George W. Bush are distant cousins. His father, Richard, worked for Americas Foreign Service. He was also an attorney for the State Departments Bureau of UN Affairs. Kerrys mother, Rosemary, is a Forbes family member. Kerry and George W. Bush both attended Yale. Kerry is class of 1966. He was president of Yales Political Union. He belonged to Skull and Bones. So did Bush, his father, and grandfather. In 1832, it was founded as an all-male secret society. Women were excluded until selectively admitted in the 1990s. Its headquarters building is called the Tomb. Alumni include former presidents, Supreme Court chief justices, CIA officials, cabinet members, congressmen, senators, business leaders, and other prominent members of society. Around 800 living ones remain. Its Yales elitist secret society. Members are carefully vetted. Alexandra Robbins is one, or was. Shes a Yale class of 1998 summa cum laude graduate. She broke Skull and Bones code of silence. Her Secrets of the Tomb: Skull and Bones, the Ivy League, and the Hidden Paths of Power discussed it. Members no longer talk to her. That means Im out, she says. Its much more than a club. It exists only for itself and its enormous influence. Fifteen members are chosen annually. It may be Americas most elite network. Inductees are considered potential future business, government, legal, and other type prominent leaders. Skull and Bones has curled its tentacles into every reach of American society, said Robbins. Its alumni reflect enormous power. Its increasing. Former members infest virtually every major research, policy, financial, media, and government institution in the country. They run America. Theyve done it for years. Dominant Skull and Bones alumni families control it. They include Bush, Bundy, Harriman, Lord, Phelps, Rockefeller, Carnegie, Ford, Taft, and Whitney, among others. Inter-marriage is encouraged. One observer calls it an international mafia unregulated and all but unknown. Its agenda reflects New World Order dominance. It wants personal freedoms compromised. Ceremonial silence is sworn. Bonesmen automatically advance to positions of power. Theyre expected to serve prominently. Former members financed Hitler. Current ones are neo-Nazi. Many Bonesmen have close Wall Street ties. At least a dozen are linked to the Fed. They control Americas media, prominent legal institutions, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Trilateral Commission. Robbins calls the organization not just the story of a remarkable secret society, but a remarkable society of secrets, some with basis in truth, some nothing but fog. Nothing mythical reflects its alumnis influence. They run America. They seek global dominance. Kerry role at State will be to further that agenda. Expect him to go all out to do it.

3	Top 10 Concerns For 2014Jon David Miller The 10 concerns presented here are priorities to consider for 2014, either because of being already in progress or imminent, or because, even if the event does not occur in 2014, it would be such a challenge if and when it occurs, that it is crucial to prepare for it now as well as possible. Due to ignorance from the combination of mass drugging and mind control hypnosis with distraction and manipulation conducted by those wanting full control, as well as the normalcy bias, most of the population remains unaware of the urgency of these concerns. To understand some of the issues it is important to realize that there has long been a controlling cabal running much of the worlds economic, political, military, social and media activities. Please read The New World Order Empire for a full description. It is now time to awaken as many people as possible to the disturbing realities going on around us. The more people on board to prepare for protection or prevention the better. We should be taking action now to make whatever arrangements are possible for protecting ourselves and our loved ones, and to prevent the further development of plans and policies that may be seriously harmful to us. 1 Comet Ison Comet Ison is not dead. It has already passed Earth on its way around the sun on November 28, and now has come back by us afterwards. NASA had initially said it had been diminished by the sun to become insignificant, but then it recovered and grew larger again. There is another major concern about meteors falling from the debris field traveling with Comet Ison. There have been numerous fireballs in the skies occurring in various areas of the planet. From now through January, Earth is moving through the path Comet Ison followed on its way into the sun. The debris and dust still present are already increasing the meteor show. One or more small ones may have already hit the ground. The big concern is whether a meteor of substantial size will make it through to smack the planet. 2 Earth Changes As we have seen with the earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan and elsewhere, thousands of lives can be lost or disrupted with Earth change events. The increased levels of earthquakes and volcanic activities, as well as the appearance of sinkholes and fireballs are of significant concern to scientists and others monitoring these developments. The Yellowstone super caldera is much larger than previously thought, and is it is becoming more active, as volcanoes are erupting worldwide. Most of the world could be thrust into year-round winter with major emissions of volcanic ash dust. Crops would be very difficult to grow, and starvation and death could be a worldwide problem. Lesser natural disasters, such as drought, fires, storms, winds, floods, snow, ice and extreme temperatures, have already caused great difficulties. These have also intensified in recent years and could become worse. The sun is in a period that by routine should be a solar maximum with lots of activity and dramatic flares, but it has been surprisingly quiet until very recently. However, some of the Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) it has had during this otherwise subdued stretch, have been very powerful. The suns poles shifting more slowy than usual for mid cycle, may have been influencing Earth. Volcanic and earthquake activities have intensified in recent years, with bizarre booms and other loud sounds arising around the Earth. Meanwhile, Earths poles have themselves been moving in recent years, possibly in preparation for a vastly more rare planetary polar shift. Another Earth change theory is that our planet may be expanding again, as it has previously over the billions of years. Several analysts warn of potential major geographic changes along the coast lines and up the Mississippi River valley and New Madrid Fault zone, where FEMA has held several disaster drills in recent years. The earthquake and volcanic activity in the Canary Islands is of particular concern since it was discovered that a large underwater section of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the island of La Palma is ready to slide dramatically into the ocean. This would likely set off a major tsunami that could devastate Atlantic coastlines, especially in North and South America. A recent quake and other signs of magma movement have raised the alert level. It should be noted that many observers think that the HAARP installation in Alaska, derived from the technology breakthroughs of Nikola Tesla, can be used to manipulate and intensify weather, and a few believe that it or some other secret technology could also generate earthquakes and volcanoes on purpose. 3 Public Poisons The variety and pervasiveness of public poisons in our air, water, food and household items make it obvious that the poisoning is done on purpose. Chemicals from farming and industry have polluted our soils, water and air since the mid 20th Century. Chemical additives, including preservatives, colors, flavors, fake vitamins and drugs are laced into many of the commercial food products, in addition to the chemical residues from agribusiness. Sugar and high fructose corn syrup as well as aspartame and other harmful sweeteners are in all too many of these products. Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are a more recent addition to the mix of harmful ingredients. Worsening of digestive disorders is the usual first appearance of multiple GMO-related health problems. Chlorine is a deadly poison that has been added to water to control bacteria since 1910. It has also caused heart disease, cancer and other illnesses in numerous people. Fluoride was introduced in city water supplies in the 1950s purportedly to prevent dental cavities. It is actually a terrible poison that fosters apathy and causes cancer. The medical division of the tyrannical conglomerate pushes vaccinations and numerous drugs for almost any condition they can name, undermining health and shortening lives. For more than 15 years atmospheric aerosol geoengineering (chemtrails) have been increasingly sprayed in our skies, while most people still cannot recognize it being done or understand how harmful it is to be breathing aluminum, barium, other particulate metals and biological nanobot dust. Stemming from Nikola Teslas work and experiments by secret programs going back to the Nazis in Germany, various chemicals and electromagnetic frequencies are used for brain wave interference and mind control. Cell phones and other wireless communication devices are harming users while monitoring them. Population control and elimination of those weakened through poor nutrition, chemical toxins and harmful frequencies, is a policy of the power controllers. Their slow kill manipulation methods run in the background while war, plague and disaster eliminate larger numbers faster. 4 Nuclear Radiation We have been radiated from the Fukushima nuclear disaster since shortly after the initial meltdown, and the radiation continues to worsen. Miscarriages, abnormalities in newborns and cancers in both humans and animals, are among the negative health and environmental effects from this silent killer unfolding significantly in Japan and on the west coast of North America, and gradually creeping eastward. If the Fukushima situation worsens or another nuke accident occurs, life in the Northern Hemisphere may not be possible any longer. Several aging nuclear plants in the U.S. are leaking, too. Nuclear plants are susceptible to natural disaster or to an enemy attack. Rhetoric about the threat of nuclear war, reminiscent of the Cold War era, is being expressed again. Whether by missiles or strategically placed bombs, or by cyber-attack on nuclear plants, a nuclear event could be severely harmful. Protect yourself by detoxifying and strengthening the immune system, while increasing the iodine in the thyroid gland and calcium in the bones. 5 Power Outage An Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) from a solar coronal mass ejection directed toward Earth, a strategically placed nuclear explosion high in the atmosphere or a blast from a possible secret high tech weapon, could knock out satellites, the electric grid and nearly all electronic equipment. Most communications would end. The power could be out for much of the continent. Banks, ATM machines and retail stores would not function. Automobiles would not run, pumps would not pump, refrigeration systems would not cool and furnaces would not heat. Water would not be delivered to homes, and toilets would not refill for flushing. A major cyber-attack might accomplish a similar power grid shutdown, but it would not last as long as an outage from grid transformers being fried by an excessive surge. Janet Napolitano and a few other former and current government officials have warned that a power outage is a matter of not if, but when it occurs. Two drills have been held in just the last 6 weeks, practicing for a major power off emergency scenario. A number of companies were involved along with several federal agencies. National Geographic recently aired a TVmovie and presented a website depiction of a 10-day power out scenario that indicates how quickly it would be a problem. If it were to last for months or years, society would go through a major life changing disaster in which many people would likely die. The warnings by officials, the media coverage, the large-scale drills, and the fact that legislation to strengthen the power grid has been shelved in the U.S. Senate for years, are all indicators that a power down is highly likely. What if one were planned as a false flag game plan to transform the United States into a third world tyranny state with a massively reduced population? 6 Economic Collapse Nearly all of the alternative economic analysts are talking about economic collapse, while the government and banking officials and their controlled media continue pushing the hoax of recovery using falsified statistics. We are already in a slow collapse, an ongoing depression, that could become The Greater Depression. The international banksters are at the heart of the The New World Order Empire that has been developed since these high-level criminals and their agents took over the apparatus of the government during and after the Civil War. With the institution of the privately held Federal Reserve central bank 100 years ago in 1913, the control of our nation was turned over to a small cabal of powerful interests. Through locking down the nation in debt, disengaging the currency from gold to be pure debt notes, expanding government size with excessive bureaucratic and military expenditures, manipulating markets and interest rates, and bailing out member banks to support them in their speculative profiteering, the banksters have brought the U.S. and most of the world to the brink of financial chaos and ruin. This private agency of transnational bankers, is the largest holder of U.S. debt. The FED has been spending $85 billion per month in the latest round of Quantitative Easing, pumping out several trillion dollars in the last five years as well as having lent additional money to European banks. Now with the introduction of new bank regulatory measures and assuming that the banks are stable enough, the Fed has been raising interest rates from nearly zero, and announcing modest tapering of the routine Quantitative Easing bailout process. Experts warn that these financial changes may cause the stock market to drop, real estate sales to dry up and the already weak economy to slow further. If the dollar loses its status as petrodollar and world reserve currency, as is currently underway with Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa (BRICS) and other nations agreeing to skip the dollar in their trade activities, the collapse will accelerate. With few substantial jobs available, and more people losing their jobs or being cut to part time, how can people deal with the expected inflation? What if government payment programs are reduced or eliminated? 7 Pandemic The idea of a pandemic has been publicized repeatedly by the medical bureaucracies and the media. The dual purpose of raising fear levels and driving people to get flu shots are part of a psy op campaign furthering the goals of population control and reduction. Severe viruses and bacteria have been developed as bio-weapons. These could be used strategically for a military objective, such as massive disturbance and elimination of population, or imposition of marital law. There is little doubt among experts that the H1N1 virus, as a marriage of swine, avian and human strains, has been created in a lab on purpose. The announced deadly new strain of E-Coli bacteria that killed people in Germany not long ago, has also been described by knowledgeable experts as an engineered bio-weapon. Further, it has now been publicized that an H5N1 virus that will transmit from human to human has been developed in a lab. How long before that gets released into the population somehow? What will happen with the airborne H7N9 virus that has reportedly appeared in China? NOTE: Despite any warnings by authorities that a nasty virus is making the rounds, and any increased push for immunizations, getting a flu shot is not a solution. In fact, in most cases, it is worse for you than the flu itself. Meanwhile, MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant staphylococcus bacteria have been cropping up increasingly in hospitals, killing some and sickening others. Learning to support good health and strengthen the immune system is crucial. 8 War The U.S. continues to be at war. Our troops have been fighting and suffering trauma, injury and death in Afghanistan for over a decade. Although we officially left Iraq after 8 years of war, there are still several thousand U.S. troops in Iraq. Now we are playing war games in other Middle East and African nations. Where will full-scale war be conducted next? Syria? Israel? Iran? Korea? The U.S.? Somewhere soon we may have more troops at risk of life and limb. The war machine marches on. War is BIG BUSINESS. The banksters and weapons purveyors have been profiting vastly from war for centuries. The banks usually lend their freely created debt trap funds to both sides of a conflict, favoring whichever one will produce the most value serving their long-term interests. Defense contractors want their continuous flow of funds to be sustained and grow. Meanwhile, with their vast resources the agents of the financial-government-military-industrial complex have developed technologies far beyond the imagination of the public. With the talk that nuclear weapons might be used somewhere soon. There is great concern about the enmity between certain nuclear nations, as well as the possibility of nukes in the hands of terrorists or rogue extremists. The preparation for civil war in the United States is of great concern to those aware of it. 9 Martial Law It is expected that the President of the United States would declare martial law by Executive Order in the event of a possible breakdown in social order from natural disaster, civil disturbance, terrorist attack, pandemic, economic collapse, etc. This may sound extreme, but the plans are already in place for deploying security forces into populated areas, which has been done in recent times after both the Katrina and Sandy hurricanes. Former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and FED Chairman, Ben Bernanke, warned U.S. legislators several years ago that martial law could result from possible civil unrest due to economic despair if the 2008-9 Bailout was not approved by Congress. Using this threat to get Congress to approve the bailout revealed that martial law is considered an option in the policy tool bag for events other than natural disasters. If government considers this an option, then plans for implementation of population control measures are already set. In fact, the further preparation in just the last couple of years for broad sweeping surveillance, unconstitutional detention of citizens, and violent measures of population management, have generated major concerns and warnings from alternative news reporters and commentators. These plans could be put in motion with just one trigger event, such as a disaster, a violent demonstration or an apparent terrorist attack. The Federal Reserve Bank has been flooding the world economy with trillions of dollars created with no backing. Meanwhile, the oil industry bosses are planning to fulfill their intention to raise oil back to $150 per barrel, or $200 or more at some point. Whether rampant inflation or a sudden collapse brings major economic chaos, or a disaster or power outage shakes things down, social unrest and clamp down are in the plans. If martial law were implemented, many more liberties would be suspended. Citizens might be limited to going out only during certain hours, or generally restricted to their homes. Food, water, fuel and more could be rationed or even unavailable. Dissidents and the homeless may be taken off to detention camps. FEMA, an agency of the Department of Homeland Security (which some are calling the secret government), has a number of such camps prepared and stocked around the U.S., with a regional administration structure already set up. Alarmingly, the barbed wire strands around the tops of the fences at some of the installations that have been observed by watchdogs are slanted inwards, as in a prison, to keep occupants inside! Homeland Security and other government agencies have been ordering massive amounts of ammunition. Even with false flag terror events blamed on mind controlled patsies, guns have not been removed from the hands of the people as yet. An attempt to do this by force is not a more pleasant thought. The bureaucracy has been encouraging citizens to spy on each other with video messages in Walmart and other locations, and forcing people through harmful X-ray machines or groping them in abusive searches at transportation centers. Highway checkpoints are also in the process of being set up. In schools, children are being taught to report on the behavior of their parents and others, and introduced to practices of boycotting and social disruption. Further, there is a new policy under consideration whereby school administrators would monitor student conversations and even their communications on school buses and on the Internet outside of school hours. Technologies that have been introduced and promoted for us to use, including computers, cell phones, bank cards, etc., are being used to monitor our communications, interests and whereabouts. Most of these are also harmful to health. Further, surveillance cameras are cropping up everywhere, on streets, in buses, in public buildings, at businesses, along highways, etc., that can be used with facial recognition software to identify most of us, drawing on a data bank of photos derived from drivers license records, social networking sites, etc. These and other more sophisticated technologies for identifying unusual behavior and monitoring, tracking and controlling us have been kept under wraps by the powers that be. For the last two years, the National Defense Authorization Act passed by U.S. senators and congressmen and signed by the president has included the provision whereby U.S. citizens could be arrested in the U.S. and detained indefinitely without charges or trial, or even access to a lawyer. This and other policies indicate that the Constitution is being left in the dust of the worldwide march to corporate statist bureaucratic tyranny. 10 Social Change Through controlled news, mass distraction and hypnosis, preoccupying people with sports, media, celebs, hand-held techno devices, social networking, mental and emotional disturbances, illnesses, medical problems, drugs, insurance issues, debt, crime, games, politics, religion and other divide-and-conquer polarizations, people are little able to perceive and understand what is really going on in the world. The hidden agenda of the United Nations Agenda 21 being adopted in jurisdictions around the world, is a restricted urban lifestyle for nearly everyone, under centralized control. Starting with homeless people being moved to controlled camps, rural people would then be moved from areas designated for wild lands, and property ownership would be less accessible to private individuals. Since most of the jobs have moved to foreign lands, only a limited number of workers are considered to be needed in the U.S. With rationing of food and water, limits on energy use, and restricted travel, most of ones time would be spent in their assigned small living unit. Those willing to be upgraded with technological implants may be afforded a better status. In the Agenda 21 society, the corporate conglomerate of companies, banks, governments, bureaucracies and law enforcement would monitor and run the lives of the work force, after substantial reduction of the population to a manageable level by use of multiple Silent Weapons For Quiet Wars, possibly including one or more of the disasters mentioned in this article. Work Together The first priority for those becoming aware is to prepare as well as possible. Forming a self-sustaining support community with nearby family, friends and neighbors is very important. Those who are inclined must step up and learn more about what is happening. Organizing in-home gatherings and small meetings, those who are better informed can transmit the information to others until nearly everyone is engaged in making things better.

1	In response to mounting evidence showing that he never should have been in there in the first place, administrators at KDM Marketing officially released 34-year-old account manager Alex Olmstead today after nine years of being wrongfully employed. After nearly a decade inside KDMs sales division with absolutely no justifiable cause, Alex has finally been let go, said coworker Jason Woodworth, adding that a vocal and passionate contingent of people familiar with Olmsteads situation have been advocating for his release on grounds that he had never done anything to warrant his continuous employment at the marketing firm since early 2006. Honestly, its been a long time cominghe didnt deserve to be there for a day, let alone nine years. The fact that he was in that position to begin with is a terrible indictment of the entire hiring system that somehow allowed this to happen. But hes out now, and hopefully he can just move on with his life at this point. Reached for comment, Olmstead told reporters he plans to spend time with his wife and two children, but expressed concern that he might never be able to find stable work in the future given his record. 
1	Vowing not to leave a single cadet unexamined, U.S. Army General Edwin B. Schumacher announced Monday that he 'will personally conduct the deepest, most exhaustive sex probe in modern military history.' The four-star general said he will probe every enlisted man and woman in the U.S. Army, and added that he had already begun the probe at last Saturday night's Stag Ball at the Langley Air Force Base. Pvt. Avery MacCormack said: 'I will willingly submit to the general's probe as ordered, but I hope it does not interfere with the sex probes I am also currently undergoing from my company commander, drill sergeant and battalion leader.' 
1	Following an accidental keystroke combination Monday, local woman Kate Garrets computer displayed a strange, never-before-seen typographical character that experts have since confirmed does not belong to the written language of any human culture, past or present. 'I was holding down the Alt button and brushed something up near the Tab or Tilde key, and then this weird thing just popped up out of nowhere,' said Garret, who described the symbol as looking something like a combination of Arabic script, a mathematical sign, and the letter 'F.' 'I tried over and over again to replicate the keystrokes, but the character never reappeared. I immediately copied and pasted it into a separate document and hit save, worried no one would ever believe me otherwise.' Archaeologists brought in to study the unusual marking said that while its bears no resemblance to the iconography of any known civilization anywhere on earth, it is, in all likelihood, 'probably just another goddamn fertility symbol.' 
2	Clint Eastwood Under Attack After What He Just Said About Donald Trump Following his controversial comments about Mexicans during his campaign announcement, Donald Trump has faced some serious liberal backlash. According to New York Daily News, one of the only people not to cut ties with the businessman in fear of controversy is Clint Eastwood. I will be in California this weekend making a speech for Clint Eastwood, Trump tweeted last week. Then to Arizona and Vegas. Big crowds. Discussing illegals more. Following the announcement, Twitter users began to make claims that Trump and Eastwood have become allies. Donald Trump is going to campaign with Clint Eastwood. I wonder which one gets to sit in the chair? @Uncucumbered tweeted. Youll be rubbing elbows with a real patriot, Mr. Trump. Many Americans respect what Clint Eastwood has to say, @futureicon added. What do you think of the potential partnership?

3	You Cant Eat Gold And SilverMichael Snyder Now dont get me wrong I actually love gold and silver. I believe that they are both going to multiply in price during the years ahead. I particularly love silver for a couple of reasons. Unlike gold, silver is used in thousands upon thousands of different consumer products, so the physical supply is constantly diminishing. And historically, silver comes out of the ground at about a 10 to 1 ratio compared to gold, but right now the price of gold is about 65 times the price of silver. At some point there is going to be a massive adjustment there. But if you just rely on accumulating gold and silver bars and you never store up any food, you could end up deeply regretting that choice someday. If things get bad enough, people are not going to want to trade you their precious food no matter how much gold and silver you may have. When a real crisis arrives, priorities change very rapidly. When you realize that you cant feed your family, the need for basic supplies become extremely important. Just check out what is happening in Venezuela right now Alvaro Villarueda starts his morning the same way every day putting in a call to his friend who has a friend who works at a Caracas, Venezuela, supermarket. Today, hes looking for sugar, and hes asking his friend if he knows if any shipments have arrived. As he talks on the phone, his wife Lisbeth Nello, is in the kitchen. There are 10 mouths to feed every day in this family five of them children. The two youngest are still in diapers. The things that are the scarcest are actually what we need the most, Nello says. Flour, cooking oil, butter, milk, diapers. I spent last week hunting for diapers everywhere. The situation is really tough for basic goods. In such an environment, people become extremely desperate, and desperate people do desperate things. That is why self-defense needs to be another high priority for preppers. When desperate people in search of supplies get desperate enough to break into your home, things can get Medieval very rapidly. For example, one homeownerin Detroit was recently forced to use a hammer to confront a man that had broken into his home late at night Police say an elderly man fended off a home intruder by hitting him on the head with a hammer. On Sunday, March 9, 82-year-old George Bradford was asleep when he was woken up by the screams of his daughter and granddaughter. Someone had broken into their house through a basement window. I could hear him walking up the stairs. I had my choice to get ready, Bradford tells FOX 2s Andrea Isom. He says he went into the kitchen and got a hammer from the drawer. Bradford says he asked the intruder to leave but he wouldnt so thats when Bradford says he let him have it. Could something similar happen to you and your family when things start really getting crazy out there? That is something to think about. And even without a major emergency, food supplies in this country are already starting to get tighter. The size of the U.S. cattle herd has been getting smaller for seven years in a row, and it is now the smallest size that it has been since 1951. But back in 1951, the size of the U.S. population was less than half of what it is today. A few days ago, we learned that during the month of February the price of beef increased at the fastest pacesince November 2003, and it is now at a new all-time record high. Earlier today, one of my readers sent me the following photo. It shows a price of $24.32 for 0.695 pounds of beef tenderloin steak. This isnt even prime rib In addition, the crippling California drought threatens to drive fruit and vegetable prices up to unprecedented levels. Below, I have posteda recent video news report about the drought. As you will notice, in this clip they use the term Dust Bowl to describe what many farmers fear may be happening So now is the time to get prepared while food prices are still relatively low. They certainly arent going to go any lower than they are now. To some, this type of talk is gloom and doom, but I do not believe that is the case at all. I believe that there is great hope in understanding what is happening and in getting prepared. These sentiments were echoed by a Canadian prepper namedDaisy Luther in one of her recent articles Preparedness: It means that whatever may come, you intend to not only grimly survive, but to thrive. It means that you foresee a day when the imminent threat, whatever that may be, diminishes, and you will rebuild. It means that you have taken responsibility for yourself and your family, and that you will not be forced to rely on others. It means that your mind is focused on life itself, not some imaginary life of some reality star that actually has no grasp on reality whatsoever. You have chosen not to be misguided by the lies that the media uses to pacify you. Preparing yourself is the most optimistic and hopeful thing you can do in a world that would prefer to choose immediate gratification over a firm grasp on reality. Readying yourself to deal with whatever might happen isa joyful act, an expression of gratitude to the Creator, peace made tangible, and the personification of faith itself. So what do you think?

1	Despite finishing a distant 22nd in the 2009 running of the Daytona 500, veteran driver Bobby Labonte expressed supreme satisfaction with his 73rd lap of the tri-oval. 'There are laps and then there are laps, but that might be the best lap I've ever run,' said a visibly moved Labonte, who compared the lap to his beloved 118th at the 2007 Sharpie 500 and his much-ballyhooed third at the 2004 Tropicana 400. 'In a million years I never even imagined I could run a lap like that, and I doubt I'll ever run one like that again. I can't get over the fact that it came after that disgraceful 72nda lap that made me honestly think the sport had passed me by. It just all came together; the racing line, the car, the draft, everything. Just amazing.' When informed the lap ran him two seconds above his average time, Labonte shook his head and said, 'You just don't get it.' 
3	7 Ways to Drain BPA From the BodyHow to eliminate endocrine-disruptors from your system Why should someone care about endocrine-disruptors? The effort to walk away from damaging chemicals becomes easier when one sees what happens when disrupted hormones lead to major life-altering consequences. The endocrine system is a huge deal when in balance, everything is wonderful. When slightly out of whack, life is Hades. We didnt need a thousand individual studies to list off all the symptoms Bisphenol-A can cause; like ADHD-type symptoms, obesity, devastating sex/reproductive changes, brain impairment and so much more. It passes the blood brain barrier, accumulates and is way more dangerous at lower levels than previously thought. When the endocrine glands get messed with, its dethroning the regulator of all those hormonal functions. No one specificallyasked for hormone-scramblers on the consumer market, like decades of heavy pesticide dousing, plastics, cleaning chemicals, fragrance, cosmetics, dental sealants, body care, processed food and its packaging. For many reasons, its here We dont have to despair. Where regulatory agencies and Big Chem fail, we have the power of knowledge and choice. Complete avoidance would be great. But in order not to worry about exposure so much its cleanup time! Its so easy you might already be doing it. 1.) Get thee some probiotics pronto. Not talking celebrity endorsed yogurt here. Fermented foods like kimchi, natural sauerkraut and kefir. A refrigerated, concentrated probiotic supplement helps. Drink kombucha. Bifidobacterium breve and Lactobacillus casei were found to extract BPA from the blood of mammals and were excreted out through the bowels. That is very good news! Beneficial bacteria strengthen the gut and break down chemicals like BPA so they can be cleared out. As a bonus, they break down pesticides, another major endocrine-disruptor. Probiotics are becoming well known for breaking down endocrine-disruptors in the body. 2.) Black tea is found to reduce BPA toxicity. Drink loose leaf black tea has many, many other health benefits besides reducing BPA. 3.) A great naturopath can make this process a lot easier and faster; first by targeting the endocrine system and chemical levels in the body. They can find the perfect supplements that both detox and strengthen this system, restoring hormonal balance. Think of how many issues that kind of help could clear up. Some people feel so much better after this process that they didnt realize just how poorly they really felt before! 4.) Often found in alternative practices (but also many spas and salons now) are high-powered ionic foot baths that pull just about everything from the feet. Its really something to see what that water looks like afterward. Limit one per week so as not to detox too quickly and cause a healing crisis. Ten weeks in a row will have you feeling great and should cut down on your healthcare costs. What a fantastic way to finally get a leg up on your health and clear years of toxic build-up. 5.) Sweat it out. When researchers started testing different ways that BPA bioaccumulates in the body, they discovered that BPA was detected in sweat and thought that method should be considered in newer research projects as a way to track accumulation, like when urine is tested. They found that: Induced sweating appears to be a potential method for elimination of BPA. Many wellness centers now have steamless saunas to help with sweat detox. 6.) There is a homeopathic available that strengthens and detoxes the endocrine system of BPA. It includes a potentization that cancels out the presence of BPA and chemicals from plastics. Its available on this page; scroll down andlook for Plastic/BPA Detox. Youll also see that it includes homeopathic ingredients to strengthen the endocrine system. 7.) Quercetin is a flavonoid found in fruits, veggies, leaves, tea and whole grains. Like black tea, it ameliorates toxicity from BPA. It is also available in supplement form. It should probably come as no surprise that quercetin is great for allergies! Our Chemical Lives And The Hijacking Of Our DNA by Catherine Frompovich is a huge eye-opener of the damage done from exposure to all the environmental chemicals we encounter everyday; and it includes solutions. Any time you fight with detoxification and nutrition you are strengthening and empowering yourself against environmental toxins. Best of all, you will strengthen your immunity, your best friend for remaining healthy in a toxic world.

3	Go VulcanClint Ward Why, because the human brain is a computer whose output is affected by our unique perception of the world. We each produce our own conclusions which we own and defend. We also each occupy or wish to occupy a specific position in the world, which may require varied actions good or bad. What I believe we lack are the constructs of reason, conclusions that are produced in ways observed in science. The testing, reproduction and refinement of technology brings new and better results. Our reasoning and hence our conclusions have stagnated or even regressed. As stated earlier we each have personal conclusions. When we do reason together, perceptions still mitigate the results and applications. Power also may influence perceptions, conclusions and outcomes more than reasoning. So I ask a question; what does a mutual conclusion or understanding look like, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights? Where though can I find the reasoning for these documents, the logic or understanding? How can I prove them correct a second and third time by reproducing the results? So my proposition is that as technology rises in a parabola, human thought and the conclusions we reach remains at a standstill. What we do now is what we have always done. We pick leaders. This is our effort to find the best computer / operating system to navigate the turbulent world. Why do we do this? We do this because our computers will not sync. Several years ago I came across an article about Collective Intelligence. This article told how some number of average people together could outsmart the student from MIT. If you explore this subject today you may come to the same conclusion that I did. It seems to me that this works because it is the greater variety of ideas that wins the contest. With collective intelligence as it is today it is still just the perception of the greater number to a solution. What seems to be lacking is a scientific way to produce better avenues of knowledge and conclusions. Now comes the twist and the turn where I lose the people I have not already. How do we marry our language our reasoning with modern-day technology? Can you do calculus in your head? Do you know what calculus is? We have calculators for math. We have computers that can speak and analyze facial expressions. Why can we not develop software that can analyze language patterns, usage and context? Why can we not show visually a proposition and the supporting arguments with the likely conclusions? Do you have to understand the ins and outs of Epistemology? Can a machine do it for you? What would it look like? Imagine a handheld device that scans a page, reproduces it on a tablet, removes or isolates the fallacious arguments and the fluff then presents the remaining propositions or arguments with the supporting rational in three dimensions possibly. Would you buy it? I am sure someone building a wheel for a Conestoga wagon never envisioned your wheels. Can we really imagine what is possible? Suppose then you sync with your friends device and go to work using provided logic software to come to a conclusion. Imagine that conclusion is independent of your ego, pride and thirst for power. Then you take your device home with the conclusions you and your friends developed together and ruminate on it for a week or two when you feel like it. You discover a new perspective or new information and facts are provided. Your handheld device has abductive reasoning built in. You and your friends get together and you get more meaningful and clearer understandings. Everyone takes the new perspective home with them, wherever home may be. Your friendship does not suffer because of your conclusions and the viewpoint which aided your understanding. Your name or any personal representation is not there next to your thoughts. This advancement or progression is not owned by you or anyone else and does not cast a shadow on anyone. This is a common electronic brain aiding in a collective thought process. There are so many ways I can see this changing human behavior. Those Vulcans on T.V. they always seem so peaceful. I think I know why. They developed the technology I mentioned centuries ago, so long ago they dont even need it anymore. Compare this imagining to what we have today. Have you ever seen 15,000 postings underneath a hot topic? What conclusions did all these individuals come to? Who knows? I am sure some perspectives may have changed even if they wont admit it, otherwise what an orgy of hate. So how do we begin? We begin in futility. We begin with a website asking for solutions. We keep the ideas alive. We hold onto them and learn to work and develop them, to test and recreate them. We add to what we know and preserve what we have learned. We keep our emotions at bay. We go Vulcan.

2	Joel Osteen Just Made A Terrifying Announcement About... Joel Osteen is most famous for being a televangelist. What is lesser known, however, is that he is also the senior pastor at the largest protestant church in America, Lake Church in Houston. In a recent interview, Osteen spoke out in support of Muslims. I have Muslims that attend our church and my books sell a lot in Muslim countries as well, Osteen told reporters. You know, I dont know, I dont get too deep in those kind of things, but our ministry is about reaching out to everybody, and so I do and I do have those conversations. He went on to claim that a group of 50 Muslims sat front row in a service of his several weeks ago. Our mean theme is Jesus says, Love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as you love yourself, Osteen continued. And I dont try to put people in a boxokay, theyre Jewish or theyre Catholic, theyre this or theyre that. I just say, You know what, theyre somebody that Gods put in our path for us to love. This is not the first time Osteen has made questionable remarks. He caused immense controversy not too long ago, when he refused to admit that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation. What do you think? Do you support Osteen or has he sold out? 
2	Jimmy Fallon Hits Trump Below The Belt With Dirty Comment At Golden Globes... Instantly Regrets It Last night, liberal Hollywood came together for the highly-anticipated Golden Globe Awards. It didnt take long for these out-of-touch A-listers to start disrespecting our future president, Donald Trump. Golden Globes host Jimmy Fallon set the tone for the night at the very beginning. According to Daily Mail, he opened the show by saying this is a place where they still honor the popular vote. Later in the night, he compared Trump to King Joffrey of Game of Thrones. Many people wondering what it would be like if King Joffrey had lived, Fallon said. In 12 days were gonna find out. Fallon may have sparked laughter in the audience but the joke was on him at the end of the night. Turns out, not even insulting Trump could boost his popularity among the liberal audience. Just look at what these Twitter users had to say about the night: Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) January 9, 2017 IndieWire (@IndieWire) January 9, 2017 
3	Facial Recognition Company Creates Tattoo Detecting Technology For PoliceBy John Vibes According to a description on the companys website: As with f2 face recognition, tattoos are first enrolled by determining and encoding a number of specific characteristics of the image. The nature and relative position of these is transformed into a numeric string, which is stored as an encoded array together with the record ID in f2s own internal database. This process is complex and will typically take a few seconds for each image. The resulting encode arrays are held in memory on a matching server, enabling subsequent searches to be extremely fast. f2 analyzes images in read-only mode and stores the resulting non-reversible encode arrays it doesnt store the images themselves. The f2 Tattoo Module is designed to match an unknown tattoo against a database of tattoos in order to determine if there is a matching tattoo (or tattoos) there. Unlike hashing algorithms, f2 will match a cropped, re-saved, or reformatted tattoo against those in the database. Results are displayed as thumbnails of potentially matching tattoos, in descending order of Match%. Any of these can be selected to display the face and name of the owner in the original database record. The result of a Tattoo search will be a number of thumbnail images that have the same or similar characteristics to the image being searched (the probe image), above a user-defined threshold. An officer can then visually scan the images to determine which, if any, is the same tattoo. The face associated with any selected tattoo is displayed, together with a link back to the original record. The benefit of f2 is therefore that it can find a matching tattoo in seconds where an officer could take many hours or longer to find a match. It is not clear how the database will be compiled or if the tattoos of innocent people will be included in the records. However, it can be assumed that anyone who is arrested will have their tattoos documented by police for future arrests. Even prior to the development of this technology, police have photographed the tattoos of people who are arrested even for the smallest of charges.

1	American spiritual epiphanies are becoming increasingly juice-based, according to a report released Tuesday by the UCLA Department of Theology. 'In the past, spiritual awakenings usually revolved around religious faith or personal convictions,' the report read. 'But today, Americans are turning to the healing and enriching power of such tea and fruit-juice blends as Fruitopia 'Strawberry-Passion Awareness' and Sobe's 'Wisdom' and 'Zen Blend,' for their spiritual fulfillment.' Following the report, Ocean Spray announced plans for a line of Zoroastrian grape-cranberry blends. 
3	How The U.S. Dollar Will Be ReplacedBrandon Smith, Contributor The great frustration of being actively involved in the Liberty Movement is the fact that many people are rarely on the same page (or even the same book) during political and economic discussion. Where we see the nature of the false left/right paradigm, they see free democracy. Where we see a tidal wave of destructive debt, they see a responsible government printing and spending in order to protect our best interests. Where we see totalitarianism, they see safety. Where we see dollar devaluation, they see dollar strength and longevity. Ultimately, because the average unaware citizen is stricken by the disease of normalcy bias and living within the doldrums of a statistical fantasy world, they simply have no point of reference by which to grasp the truth when exposed to it. Its like trying to explain the concept of color to a man who has been blind since birth. Americans in particular are prone to reactionary dismissal when exposed to facts that disrupt their misconceptions. Our culture has experienced a particularly prosperous age, not necessarily free from all trouble, but generally spared from widespread mass tragedy for a generous length of time. This tends to breed within societies an overt and unreasonable expectation of ease. It generates apathy, and laziness. A crushing blubberous slothful cynicism subservient to the establishment and the status quo. Even the most striking of truths struggle to penetrate this smoky forcefield of duplicitous funk. In recent articles, I have outlined the very immediate dangers of several potential economic events that are likely to take place this year, including the exit of peripheral countries from the European Union, the conflict between austerity and socialist spending in France and Germany, the developing bilateral trade agreements between China and numerous other countries which cut out their reliance on the U.S. dollar, and the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will announce QE3 before the end of 2012. All of these elements are leading in one very particular direction: the end of the Greenback as the world reserve currency. To be sure, the question is a viable one. How could the dollar be unseated? That said, a few hours of light research would easily produce the answer, but this tends to be too much work for the fly-by-night financial skeptic. Sometimes, the job of the alternative analyst is to make the obvious even more obvious. So, lets begin The Dollar A Safe Haven? This ongoing lunacy is based on multiple biases. For some, the dollar represents America, and a collapse of the currency would suggest a failure of the republic, and thus, a failure by them as individual Americans who live vicariously through the exploits of their government. By extension, it becomes patriotic to defend the dollars honor and deny any information that might suggest it is on a downward spiral. Others see how the investment world clings to the dollar as a kind of panic room; a protected place where ones saving will be insulated from crisis. However, just because a majority of day trading investors are gullible enough to overlook the Greenbacks pitfalls does not mean those dangerous weaknesses disappear. There is only one factor that shields the dollar from implosion, and that is its position as the world reserve currency. Without this exalted status, the currencys value vanishes. Backed by nothing but massive and unpayable debt, it sits frighteningly idle, like a time bomb, waiting for the moment of ignition. The horrifying nature of the dollar is that it is only valuable so long as foreign investors believe that we will pay back the considerable debts that we (the American taxpayer at the behest of our criminally run Treasury) owe, and that we will not hyperinflate in the process. If they EVER begin to see their purchases of dollars and treasuries as a gamble instead of an investment, the faade falls away. Yet again this year Congress and the Executive Branch are at odds over the expansion of the debt ceiling, which has been raised to levels beyond the 100% of GDP mark: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/17/us/politics/obama-presses-congress-to-act-on-his-priorities.html Barack Obama has made claims that increases in the debt ceiling are normal, and that most presidents are prone to hiking the barrier every once in a while. Yet, back in 2006, when George W. Bush increased debt limits, Obama had this to say: The fact that we are here today to debate raising Americas debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government cant pay its own billsInstead of reducing the deficit, as some people claimed, the fiscal policies of this administration and its allies in Congress will add more than $600 million in debt for each of the next five yearsIncreasing Americas debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. For once, Barack and I agree on something. Too bad the man changes his rhetoric whenever its to his advantage. Today, Obama now asserts that raising the debt ceiling is not an opening for more government spending, but an allowance for the government to pay bills it has already accrued. This is disingenuous and hypocritical prattle. Obama is well aware as are many in Congress that as long as the Federal Government is able to raise the debt ceiling whenever it suits them, they can increase spending with wild abandon. Its like handing someone a credit card with no maximum limit. For most men, the temptation would be irresistible. Therefore, one can predict with 100% certainty that U.S. spending will never truly be reduced, and that our national debt will mount in tandem until we self destruct. How has this trend been able to continue for so long? Our private central bank has created the fiat machine by which all economic depravity is possible. Currently, the Federal Reserve is the number one holder of U.S. debt. The Federal Reserve creates its own capital. It prints its wealth from thin air. The dollar, thus, has become its own lynchpin. The secretive institution which has never been subject to a full audit is now monetizing endless debt mechanisms with paper promises. What value would any intelligent investor put on such a fraudulent economic system? The epic dysfunction of the dollar is rooted in its reliance on perception rather than tangible wealth or strong fundamentals. It is, indeed, like any other fiat mechanism, with all the inevitable pitfalls built into its structure. Ironically, the value of the Dollar Index is measured not by its intrinsic buying power, or its historical buying power, but its arbitrary buying power in comparison with other collapsing fiat currencies. The argument I hear most often when pointing out the calamitous path of the dollar is that it is the go-to safe haven in response to the crisis in Europe. What the financially inept dont seem to grasp is that the shifting of savings back and forth between the euro and the dollar is just as irrelevant to our currencys survival as it is to Europes. BOTH currencies are in decline, and this is evident by the growing inflationary pressures on both sides of the Atlantic. Ask any consumer in Greece, Spain, France, or the UK how shelf prices have changed in the past four years, and they will say the exact same thing as any consumer in the U.S.; costs have gone way up. Therefore, it makes sense to compare the dollars value not to the euro, or to the Yen, but something more practical, like the dollar of the past. In 1972, just as Nixon was removing the dollar from the last vestiges of the gold standard, a new car cost an average of $4500. A home cost around $40,000. A gallon of gas was .36 cents. A loaf of bread was .25 cents. A visit to the doctors office was $25. Wages were certainly lower, but they kept much better pace with the prices of the era. Today, the gap between wages and inflation is insurmountable. The average family is unable to keep up with the flashflood of rising prices. According to the historic buying power of the dollar, the currency is a poor safe haven investment. With the advent of bailout efforts and debt monetization through quantitative easing, its devaluation has been expedited dramatically. The Fed has left the door open for what I believe will be a final destructive round of publicly announced QE, weakening the dollar to near death: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/05/16/us-usa-fed-idUSBRE84F12320120516 The question then arises; why do foreign countries continue to buy in on the greenback? The Dollar Dump Has Already Begun One of my favorite arguments by those defending the dollar is the assertion that no foreign country would dare to dump the currency because they are all too dependent on U.S. trade. To answer the question above, the reality is that foreign countries ARE already calmly and quietly dumping the dollar as a global trade instrument. To those people who consistently claim that the dollar will never be dropped, my response is, it already has been dropped! China, in tandem with other BRIC nations, has been covertly removing the greenback as the primary trade unit through bilateral deals since 2010. First with Russia, and now with the whole of the ASEAN trading bloc and numerous other markets, including Japan. China in particular has been preparing for this eventuality since 2005, when they introduced the first Yuan denominated bonds. The bonds were considered a strange novelty back then, especially because China had so much surplus savings that it seemed outlandish for them to take on treasury debt. Today, the move makes a whole lot more sense. China and the BRIC nations today openly call for a worldwide shift away from the dollar: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/indepth/2011-08/06/c_131032986.htm With the global proliferation of the Yuan, and the conversion of the Chinese economy away from dependence on exports (especially to the West) towards a more consumer based system, the Chinese have effectively decoupled from their reliance on U.S. markets. Would a collapse in the U.S. hurt Chinas economy? Yes. Would they still survive? Oh yes. Far better than America would, at least In 2008, I warned of this development and was attacked on all sides by more mainstream economists and Keynesian proponents who stated that such a development was impossible. Today, its common knowledge that our primary creditors are diversifying away from the dollar, though MSM talking heads and those who parrot them still claim that this is not a threat to our economy. To be clear, the true threat to the dollars supremacy is not only due to the constant printing by the private Federal Reserve (though that is a nightmare in the making), but the loss of faith in our currency as a whole. The Fed does not need to throw dollars from helicopters to annihilate our currency; all they have to do is create doubt in its viability. The bottom line? A dollar collapse is not theory but undeniable fact in motion at this moment, driven by concrete actions on the part of the very nations that have until recently propped up our debt obligations. It is only a matter of time before the dollar diminishes and fades away. All signs point to a loss of reserve status in the near term. What Will Replace The Dollar? My next favorite argument in defense of the Greenback is the assertion that there is no currency in a position to take the dollars place if it falls. First of all, this is based on a very nave assumption that the dollar will not fall unless there is another currency to replace it. Im not sure who made that rule up, but the dollar is perfectly able to be flushed without a replacement in the wings. Economic collapse does not follow logical guidelines or the personal pet peeves of random man-child economists. Though, to be fair, and to educate those unaware, there IS a replacement already conveniently ready to roll forward. The IMF has for a couple of years now openly called for the retirement of the dollar as the world reserve currency, to be supplanted by the elitist organizations very own Special Drawing Rights (SDRs): http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2011/feb/10/imf-boss-calls-for-world-currency The SDR is a paper mechanism created in the early 1970s to replace gold as the primary means of international trade between foreign governments. Today, it has morphed into a basket of currencies which is recognized by almost every country in the world and is in a prime position to take the dollars place in the event that it loses reserve status. This is not theory. This is cold hard reality. For those who claim that the SDR is not considered a real currency, they should probably warn the U.S. Post Office, which now uses conversion tables that denominate costs in SDRs: http://pe.usps.com/text/imm/immc3_007.htm So, now that we know a replacement for the dollar is ready to go, the next obvious question would be: Why would global elites destroy a useful monetary tool like the dollar? Why kill the goose that lays the golden eggs? People who ask this question are simply unable to see outside the fiscal box they have been placed in. For global bankers, a paper currency is not important. It is expendable. Like a layer of snake skin; as the snake grows, it sheds the old and dawns the new. At bottom, men who promote the philosophies of globalization greatly desire the exaltation of a global currency. The dollar, though a creation of a central bank, is still a semi-sovereign monetary unit. It is an element that is getting in the way of the application of the global currency dynamic. I find it rather convenient (at least for those who subscribe too globalism) that the dollar is now in the midst of a perfect storm of decline just as the IMF is ready to introduce its latest fiat concoction in the form of the SDR. I find the blind faith in the dollars lifespan to be rife with delusion. It is not a matter of opinion or desire, but a matter of fact that currencies in such tenuous positions fall, and are in the end replaced. I believe that the evidence shows that this is not random chance, but a deliberate process, leading towards the globalist ideal; total centralization of the world under an unaccountable governing body which operates a global monetary system utterly devoid of transparency and responsibility. The dollar was a median step towards a newer and more corrupt ideal. Its time is nearly over. This is open, it is admitted, and it is being activated as you read this. The speed at which this disaster occurs is really dependent on the speed at which our government along with our central bank decides to expedite doubt. Doubt in a currency is a furious omen, costing not just investors, but an entire society. America is at the very edge of such a moment. The naysayers can scratch and bark all they like, but the financial life of a country serves no persons emphatic hope. It burns like a fire. Left unwatched and unchecked, it grows uncontrollable and wild, until finally, there is nothing left to fuel its hunger, and it finally chokes in a haze of confusion and dread Brandon Smith is the founder of Alt-Market is an organization designed to help you find like-minded activists and preppers in your local area so that you can network and construct communities for mutual aid and defense.

1	Saying that he had so much pent-up energy that he would likely remain wide awake until tip-off, Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard J.R. Smith told reporters Thursday that he was far too excited and nervous before Game 1 of the NBA Finals to sleep through head coach David Blatts locker room speech. I can usually doze off around now without any problem, but tonight is such a big game that Ill probably be up the whole time Coach is speaking, said Smith, adding that he was the only Cavs player who was still awake while Blatt reiterated the teams defensive strategy for stopping Stephen Curry. Ive tried everythingearplugs, counting backwards from 100, even listening to some ambient musicbut Im still just here with my eyes wide open staring at Coach talking about giving our all to bring a championship to Cleveland. By the time I do finally fall asleep, itll probably be game time anyway. Smith expressed some relief, however, when acknowledging that he will at least be able to catch up on some sleep during Blatts halftime team talk. 
2	Mike Browns Family Is Going To PAY For The Crimes They Committed In October, Lesley McSpadden, mother of Mike Brown, made headlines when she confronted Pearlie Gordon about a booth she had set up to sell merchandise to protestors. McSpadden attacked the booth with between 20 and 30 other people, ultimately destroying the merchandise, assaulting members of Gordons team, and stealing nearly $2,000. Now, the Ferguson Police Department appears to have closed its investigation, and has delivered their findings to the St. Louis County Prosecutors Office. The office itself had been reviewing the case to determine whether criminal charges should be filed, even though many consider the violation a clear felony. Also under consideration is the fate of Louis Head, McSpaddens husband, who was also involved in the armed robbery. Head is best known for inciting riots in Ferguson after the jury declined to indict Wilson. What do you think? Should McSpadden be charged for her crimes?

2	Sheriff Joe Tells Obama He Will Not Give Up His Guns Sheriff Joe Arpaio has long been in opposition to Obama, speaking out against the policies that attempt to strip Americans of the rights granted to them in the Constitution. In a recent interview with Breitbart News about gun-related issues and Obamas latest call for gun control, Arpaio commented that a huge part of the problem is that the issue has become a political situation. Democrats, he argues, react to the criminal misuse of guns by wanted to apply restrictions that affect law-abiding gun owners. This issue was brought to the surface once more following the San Bernardino terrorist attacks. Hours after the attack, Obama was on screen pushing his gun control agenda. Ever since, Democrats have been pushing to add the no-fly list to background checks and to expand background checks. Theyve also pushed to limit guns by proposing an assault weapons ban and attempting to place a national gun buyback system. White House communications director Jen Psaki recently announced that executive action regarding gun control will be coming in weeks, not months. This is a serious problem and Arpaio was not afraid to address it. Obama does know we have the Second Amendment, right? he commented. Ive said it before. Im not surrendering the guns. He can give an executive order saying weve got to collect the guns, and Im not going to do it. Arpaio went on to conclude that thered be a revolution if Obama decides to move forward with the said restrictions. What do you think? Do you support Sheriff Joe? 
1	A brave, desperate attempt at sales resistance was decisively crushed by the Sony Corporation Monday, when a group of non-camcorder-owning rebels caved in to a fierce advertising blitz designed to quash all remaining consumer opposition to the Sony Handycam camcorder. 'The resistance is finished,' said James Guthridge, head of the Sony Joint Chiefs of Sales. 'Our Handycam camcorder, featuring an advanced color viewfinder and the patented SteadyShot image-stabilization system for removing camera shake, has been purchased.' At a press conference, resistance leaders conceded defeat. 'We did our best, but we were ultimately no match for the awesome advertising firepower of the Sony Corporation,' said Bangor, ME, resident Bill Brophy, who declared surrender at 4 p.m. EST, buying the $649 Handycam at a local electronics store after withstanding more than three weeks of intense saturation marketing. 'There is nothing left for us to do but enjoy high-quality recordings of our loved ones.' According to Guthridge, the battle for the sales resisters' dollars was hard-fought and won at great cost. 'Over $400,000 was spent on Sony's advertising blitz on the greater Bangor area,' Guthridge said. 'But our commitment to victory in this market never wavered.' After discussing the matter with his fellow Joint Chiefs, Guthridge said he decided to launch an all-out offensive. The company bombarded the local airwaves with commercials for the Handycam, and a heavy print campaign targeted the resistance from the ground. 'It was clear we would have to hit these folks where they lived,' Guthridge said. 'We showed no mercy, telling those boys in advertising to hit 'em hard and not to let up.' A handful of sales resisters surrendered and purchased the Handycam after seeing an attractive, glossy Sony brochure inserted into their Sunday newspaper, but a majority had held their ground. Those not won over by the brochure were then hit with a series of phone surveys designed to locate and wipe out their primary objections to the camcorder. 'Many said they didn't need a camcorder. Others said they still needed time to think about it,' said Sony Minister of Helpful Information Shirley Prewitt. 'The craziest alibi we heard, though, was, 'I can't afford it'even though Sony offers a wide variety of Handycam models, one to fit every budget. It appeared these rebels were delirious from running and hiding for so long.' 'We suspect that some of these holdouts were at one time reasonable consumers but had been brainwashed by the leaders of the resistance movement,' Prewitt said. 'None of them were interested in visiting their local electronics store and finding out about Sony's terrific line of lightweight, easy-to-use camcorders.' Eventually, however, Brophy and the other remaining sales resisters caved in to Sony, signing an unconditional surrender and a 'FlexPay' six-month payment plan for the Handycam. They are expected to stand trial for sedition and conspiracy to resist the Sony Corporation sometime next month. 
3	Indoctrination System: Former Teacher Speaks Out, Everything I loved about teaching is extinct.Kimberly Paxton Because our public indoctrination centers, also known as schools, dont want children to think. They want children to learn specified facts in order to pass standardized tests, thus creating perfect little worker bees. They want to produce adults who will not question authority or the status quo, but merely assimilate what they are told as truth, and act accordingly. Because of this, the school system is losing those teachers who could make a real difference in the future of our country. Ellie Rubenstein is such a teacher, and she made a video of her resignation from the school system, saying, Everything I loved about teaching is extinct. She exposes the entire system, and continues, I thought Id be a teacher the rest of my life. But I no longer feel Im doing anything meaningful. I have to get out before my sense of self and self-worth is completely obliterated. Unless you are a yes man, you will soon find out your only choice is to become one or leave. She wrote: The outpouring of love and support is overwhelming. I originally intended for this video to be watched by my administrators and my community; I had no idea it would reach so many. The thousands of stories already shared with me from around the globe that mirror my own are both critical and heartbreaking. I cannot change the system from within, so I leave to allow myself to continue teaching in my way, on my terms. I never planned on giving up, and I never will.

I have the deepest respect and gratitude for those whose voices join with mine, and for those who are still fighting to find their own.

And in January of last year, we lost a dear friend and fierce digital rights advocate, Aaron Swartz. We vowed to defend the rights of Internet users everywhere in his memory. Now we have a new challenge: ending mass surveillance by the NSA. The Snowden revelations have provided us with disturbing details and confirmation of some of our worst fears about NSA spying. The NSA is undermining basic encryption standards, the very backbone of the Internet. It has collected the phone records of hundreds of millions of people not suspected of any crime. It has swept up the electronic communications of millions of people indiscriminately, exploiting the digital technologies we use to connect and inform. Today, on the eve of the anniversary of Aarons death, we ask you to join us in stepping up to the plate once again. Bring your creativity, your networks, your art, and your dedication and join us in a month of action, culminating in an Internet-wide protest on February 11. Join us. Fight back. 
2	Texas Judge Makes THIS Pivotal Ruling In Citizenship Of Immigrants Children Birth certificates are a very serious issue. They cant just be given out without a lot of consideration. A Federal judge ruled Friday that the state of Texas may continue denying the issuance of birth certificates to U.S.-born children of immigrant parents. U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman said that although the families raised grave concerns, in their petition seeking an emergency injunction, it was not enough without substantiating evidence to carry the burden necessary to grant relief, according to the courts decision. A birth certificate is a vital and important document, Pitman said. As such, Texas has a clear interest in protecting access to that document. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said that although he will continue to represent health officials as the case winds its way through the appeals process, Pitmans decision was an important first step in ensuring the integrity of birth certificates. Bizpac Review This judge did what he had to do. We support him. Do you think he made the right decision?

Jackson Takes This HUGE Stand Against Him Following the shooting in California and at Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs, the nation has once again broken out in a heated debate about gun control. Not long ago, actor Samuel L. Jackson let people know exactly where he stands. And that message has never been more relevant. I dont think its about more gun control, Samuel L. Jackson told the Los Angeles Times following the Sandy Hook shooting. I grew up in the South with guns everywhere, and we never shot anyone. This is about people who arent taught the value of life. When Opposing Views shared the quote on their Facebook page, it quickly went viral. With more than 215,000 shares, it is clear that the American public agrees. Guns have been around since Americas inceptionits the growing violence thats the problem. But thats a much more difficult issue to address, so we can see why President Obama is running away from it. What do you think? Do we need to defend our Second Amendment rights? 
3	Is Your Pet Animal Over-vaccinated?By Catherine J. Frompovich In my research networks, Im very lucky to have a most vaccine-intelligent veterinarian who shares vaccine research information affecting both animals and humans, and for which I am truly grateful. Just the other day, Dr Patricia Jordan, DVM, sent information that prompted this article. Probably readers may never have thought about the damage vaccines can do to Fluffy the cat, Spot the dog, or a favorite stallion you saddle up to enjoy a nice leisurely jaunt in the woods. One study Id like to direct readers to is Effects of Vaccination on the Endocrine and Immune Systems of Dogs, Phase II, Purdue University, November 1, 1999 and where I found information for it here. The opening paragraph states: Concern has been growing among owners, breeders, and veterinarians that current vaccines cause immune-mediated diseases in dogs. Vaccination is highly effective in preventing infectious disease, but the safety of many vaccines and the frequency of their administration are being questioned. The Vaccine Research Group at the Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine has been conducting several studies to address these issues. In one such study, we are trying to determine if current vaccines cause changes in the immune system of the dog that will eventually result in life-threatening immune mediated diseases. Another article to consider is the AVMA Council on Biologic and Therapeutic Agents report on cat and dog vaccines published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association 221(10):1401-1407, November 15, 2002. Id like to call readers attention to the section Vaccine Issues for Practitioners wherein we find this amazing remark: Vaccination recommendations used to be considered a simple part of animal care, but now are considered complex and controversial. [How true!] Farther down in that article, we find this rather candid admission: Vaccination is a potent medical procedure associated with benefits and risks for animals. [What about humans?!] In the Purdue study, they found vaccinated dogs developed autoantibodies to their own collagen! Does that happen in humans too? Dont you think vaccine research needs to be directed there? Furthermore, an Italian study showed that dogs develop vaccine-induced cancers at vaccine injection sites. There are numerous types of cancers [13] linked with vaccine injections, according to researchers! Far down in this website you can find them listed. Unfortunately, my computer genie (censorship, I say) would not allow me to copy and paste them here, but kept locking or shutting down my computer. See the lengths to which the Internet censors apparently are going to prevent information from getting out. Thats been an ongoing problem since the huge update to convert PC computer email systems [Hotmail in my case] to tie in with iPhones, etc. formatting or so Ive been told that is the excuse by Microsofts technician I spoke with on the phone who was located in the Philippines. Incidentally, I told him he should not take work away from American citizens who need work. What I think everyone who reads this article ought to be questioning is IF vaccines are traced to causing cancerous growths in animals, what are vaccines doing to newborns and infants who are over-vaccinated at 2, 4 and 6 months old with multiple vaccinesas many as nine (9) at one time? What are they [doctors and vaccines] doing to the immune system plus all bodily systems, especially the blood brain barrier and the brain? Autism!? New government survey pegs autism prevalence at 1 in 45, whereas in the 1970s, the rate was one in 10,000! The two definitive questions for man and beast regarding vaccines, I offer, are: Vaccines, I predict, rapidly are heading down the same pharmaceutical slope or rabbit hole that the Vioxx catastrophe went a few years ago: After multi-class-action lawsuits, removed from the market [2]. That cant come soon enough, I think, as too many children, the future of the human race, are being damaged. Numerous lawsuits have been filed against vaccine makers in other countries of the world; when will Congress recapitulate and rescind its get out of jail free card for USA vaccine makers? Shouldnt consumers be demanding that of Congress now in view of all the fraud in vaccine science? One of the leading causes of death in one to four-year-old children, according to the CDCs National Center for Health Statistics is Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities! [3] According to the World Health Organizations Maternal, newborn, child and adolescence health Overview: The incidence and prevalence of chronic conditions is rising in most developed and developing countries [places where vaccinations are mandated and forced on populations] and will constitute the main cause of death by 2020. Among children, and especially among adolescents, increased life expectancy due to improvements in nutrition, hygiene and control of infectious diseases is producing an epidemiologic transition in which noncommunicable diseases including chronic diseases and disability are emerging as major health problems. [4] [CJF emphasis added] For those interested, heres a Pet Vaccination Adverse Events website. From Dogs Naturally, theres Vaccines and Brain Damage and from Age of Autism, Vaccine Danger Discussion OK for Dogs. Not Kids. Go figure! What are your thoughts? As an afterthought, heres something Id like readers to consider: Researchers have found that man-made chemicals in processed foods could facilitate the invasion of bacteria into human body tissues! One such insidious chemical is polysorbate 80 [5] often found in ice cream and other goodies such as Crisco, Cool Whip, various condiments and even in some cottage cheese, and can lead to leaky gut syndrome. However, polysorbate 80 also is an ingredient in many vaccines [6]; its called Tween 80, which I discuss from published peer review scientific research literature in my book Vaccination Voodoo, What YOU Dont Know About Vaccines. Polysorbate 80 can precipitate some categorically adverse biochemical programming when injected into the human body, according to independent scientific research. Some indications are that it can act as an anti-fertility agent! Whats the really real reason for human and veterinary vaccines? Heres something to think about put to prose. Enjoy!

I have lost two dogs to vaccinations and the risk is higher now than ever. Because of undeniable cancer tumors at injection sites [ high aluminum found in pets] many vets are switching to live virus vaccines [more expensive] as they are supposedly safer. Not so. Because you can no longer vaccinate with just one virus at a time your dog [ small or large get same dose] will be bombarded with 5 live viruses in one shot plus rabies. This is overwhelming to many dogs especially puppies. After losing two dogs [lab jack russell] to live virus vaccines several years apart I no longer vaccinate except for the mandated rabies then only every seven years as antibodies tests have shown protection for that long. Catherine, your so deep!! You never cease to amaze me. Ive had dogs my whole life. I was also a professional in the world of dogs. If one can listen, they tell you a lot. What we see to get a licensed pet for our city is ridiculous. To bad the old school vets, arent around any more. God how I miss Dr. Ralph Molenau, what a vet. Old school all the way. Unfortunately old school are dying, and new school is prevalent. Vets count on vaccinations as 50% of their income. Once they have you in for your yearly shots you pay for visit, exam, shots, blood work, heart worm meds, flea meds, possibly nail trim,teeth cleaning, grooming etc. One lady I know was encouraged to get her dogs teeth cleaned every 6 months like a huma. This requires anesthesia [FLUOINATED] the young dog now has failing kidneys seizures. Good point. I had my 15yo springer put down a couple years ago. But she had to be vaccinated first. Wasnt lepto, or parvo, on anything else Id ever heard of. 99% of dog owners never even heard of Lepto or Parvovirus. 
1	After four months of romantic involvement, Wells Fargo mortgage lending assistant Heidi Bird, 27, said Monday that she is beginning to regret getting into a relationship with the carefree Jason Maddox. Bird and Maddox spend an afternoon at home. 'Jason was everything I wanted in a boyfriend as recently as three months ago,' Bird said. 'I used to dream of meeting someone who knew how to have fun and didn't let himself get weighed down by formalities and obligations. But my dreams never had the part where that person doesn't call for a week, then drops by at 3 a.m. with a broken mannequin torso under his arm.' Bird said she was swept off her feet by the handsome 30-year-old in August, when she met him at a local park. A part-time bicycle-shop employee and occasional street musician, Maddox 'was straight out of a romantic Hollywood movie,' according to Bird. 'I was walking my dog Shadow when I heard someone call out to me from above,' Bird said. 'I looked up and saw Jason sitting on a tree branch. He told me he once had a dog like Shadow. Then he asked me to come on up and see the view. I don't usually do stuff like that, but he was so cute and intriguing that I tied Shadow to a bench and joined him up on the branch. We sat up there for two hours eating golden raisins and reading jokes from this kids' joke book he fished from the trash. It seemed magicalat the time.' Although she gave him her phone number, Bird didn't hear from Maddox until two weeks later, when he showed up at her office, thrust a bouquet of daisies into her hands, and began to serenade her on his ukulele. 'Jason showed up right in the middle of my busiest day of the week, and all of my coworkers were staring at him like he was nuts,' Bird said. 'But no one had ever done something like that for me before, and I just melted. It was such a wonderful resolution to the anxiety I'd been feeling because he hadn't called.' When she showed Maddox out of her building, the two kissed during the elevator ride to the lobby, commencing what Bird described as 'a whirlwind love affair, complete with romance, laughter, and amazing sex.' In spite of the good times she has shared with him, Bird said Maddox's self-centered approach to romance has 'gotten a little old.' 'Last week, Jason showed up at my office, called me out of a staff meeting, and said we were going roller-skating,' Bird said. 'When I told him I couldn't, he was like, 'Well, what am I supposed to do with these roller skates I bought you for our 13-week anniversary?'' Maddox woos Bird with a romantic gesture. 'He lacks a sense of timingor time, really,' Bird added. 'When I got mad at him last month for not calling me for six days, he said he was sorry and explained that he'd been 'totally getting into Russia,' whatever that means.' Bird said that, during the initial weeks of her relationship with Maddox, she had hoped to one day accompany him on one of his spur-of-the-moment car trips. After getting lost on the way to Mono Lake with Maddox in November, however, Bird said she resolved 'never to travel with Jason again.' 'It was sweet that he wanted to sit by the lake holding me in his arms,' Bird said. 'But he could've had some idea of how to get there. Maybe he didn't mind sleeping in the car at a rest stop, but my shoulder blade still aches from where the seat spring dug into it all night.' Although Maddox frequently demonstrates his affection for Bird, she said his gestures no longer move her. 'Oh, yeah, Jason gave me that,' said Bird, waving toward a 6-foot-tall plush bunny in the corner of her office. 'There was a time I would've been really into it, but now I'm just wondering how much it cost and if I'll need to buy us both dinner next Tuesday.' Bird added: 'I should really get that thing out of here before my supervisor sees it.' Therapist and author Sue Merrill said people often don't foresee the pitfalls of dating a spontaneous person. 'In order to have a viable relationship, you must either match his erratic behavior point-for-point, or maintain an almost bulletproof independence,' Merrill said. 'Vulnerability is fatal. Ask yourself this, 'Do I have the stamina to water my plants one moment, float in a hot-air balloon an hour later, spend eight days alone, then stand in line at a bail-bonds office until 1 a.m. on a Tuesday?'' While Bird has no immediate plans to break up with Maddox, she said she'sometimes fantasize[s] about what it would be like to date someone less whimsical.' 'I still like Jason a lot,' Bird said. 'But I swear: The next time he starts to juggle, it's over.' Bird's ex-boyfriend Steve Dandridge, whom she left last May after telling him he was 'too boring,' said his mellow, undemanding personality might offer Bird a refreshing change. 'I hear that guy she's going out with is running her ragged,' Dandridge said. 'I guess I could feel happy that I got my revenge, but the truth is, I still miss her. Heidi, if you want me back in your life, gimme a call. I usually go get dinner at 6:45 or 7:00, but I'm always back before CSI starts at 8:00.' Maddox was unavailable for comment, as he was assembling a Cupid costume out of a bed sheet and applying to film school in Poland. 
1	Responding to debate opponent Al Gore's promise to pay off the national debt in 12 years by devoting $2 of projected surpluses toward debt reduction for every $1 used for tax cuts, George W. Bush vowed to do 'that thing Gore just said, only better' during Tuesday's presidential debate. 'Yeah, that debt thing,' the Republican candidate said during his allotted 90-second rebuttal. 'I'm going to do that, but, like, 10 times better.' Bush added that, as president, he would 'do all that stuff Gore said about education and the environment, but my version would work twice as good.' 
1	After dashing off an indiscernible code on his laptop keyboard and sharply striking the enter key multiple times with his forefinger, a fast-talking, visibly tense computer hacker said that he just has to break through the encryption shield before he could upload the nano-virus, sources confirmed Tuesday. The arrogant if socially awkward hacker, a 30-year-old software-programmer-turned-cyberpunk known only as Cipher, reportedly told his buttoned-up yet eager employers who were hovering over him and watching his every move that breaking into the supercomputers mainframe would be childs play. The firewalls a bitch, but I should be able to get around it, Cipher said before swiftly wheeling his computer chair to an adjacent desk, clearing away the pile of empty pizza boxes and Maxim magazines and scanning the numbers and figures scrolling across two mounted flat-screen monitors. Oh, what have we here? Looks like they updated their security system. Impressive. But not impressive enough. And...Im in, he added as the words ACCESS GRANTED appeared on his laptop screen. Schools in session, bitches. The efficiently executed hacking reportedly began at approximately 6:45 p.m. when Cipher, wearing a tight-fitting black hooded sweatshirt, skintight jeans, and black Converse with no laces, inserted a flash drive into his laptops USB port and said Let the games begin as an upload bar materialized on the screen. Sources confirmed that over the next few minutes, Cipher industriously navigated between multiple computer monitors displaying 3D-rendered images, criminal profiles, warehouse floor plans, and HTML code before brusquely swinging his chair around. Dont touch that! he reportedly snapped at a client walking past a cluttered table of disassembled technological equipment, which he quickly scooped up in his arms and moved across the room. This is expensive stuff, okay? Try to do me a favor and not break anything. Amateurs, he added under his breath. When the upload bar reached a completion level of 68 percent, sources confirmed the screen froze and flashed a red message reading TRANSMISSION ERROR, causing a female client to ask a slyly grinning Cipher, Is something wrong? Theyre smarter than I thought, Cipher reportedly said while sliding a ballpoint pen between his teeth, brushing aside a wisp of hair from his face, and muttering, I wonder if I can just bypass the SRM altogether. You think youre a clever boy, dont you? Well, lets see how clever you really are. Reports indicate that after taking a swig from one of the six already opened Red Bulls on his desk, the visibly invigorated hacker quickly entered a series of memorized commands into the computer. Following a tense moment in which the screen appeared to be frozen and Ciphers clients nervously glanced at each other, the error message disappeared from the screen and the bar resumed uploading, prompting a triumphant and relieved Cipher to bang his desk, slide back from his table on his four-wheeled desk chair, and yell, Boom. Looks like someone forgot to input a certain attack signature file into a certain dynamic-link library. Such a pity, Cipher said before explaining how he managed to determine the source of the error and improvise a solution, provoking his employers to respond, In English, please. Am I moving too fast for you? You moneymen are all the same. After deactivating the encryption shield and gaining access to the remote server, sources confirmed that Cipher declared, Now for the fun part, and turned up the volume on a nearby stereo. As a heavy metal song blared from the speakers, the hacker reportedly leaned back in his seat, placed his hands behind his head, and waited for the nano-virus to transfer to the computer. Come on, come to Papa, said a visibly pleased Cipher as the Percentage of Virus Uploaded bar went from 90 to 95, hovered at 99 percent for an uncomfortably long second, and then flipped to 100. Its a thing of beauty, my friends. Now, wheres my fucking money? At press time, sources confirmed this is why Cipher is the best in the business.

Our research indicates that residents of the United States take great pleasure in watching television, often for many hours at once, and enjoy eating food in large quantities, preferably several or more times per day, lead author Dr. Richard Cowell said of the study, which follows an earlier report that concluded the nation greatly prefers sitting to standing. Our findings also suggest Americans enjoy watching television and eating at the same time. According to the study, Americans do not enjoy being hungry or having no TV. 
3	Too Poor to Make Bail? Theyll Cage You for That: Lawsuit Exposes Horrors of the US InJustice SystemBy Lily Dane Harris County Jail the largest in Texas and the third largest in the US is accused of keeping most of its incarcerated population locked up for misdemeanors because they cant afford bail or trial. Now, Harris County, Sheriff Ron Hickman, and five bail-hearing magistrates are being sued by the human rights group Equal Justice Under Law for discriminating against poor prisoners. From the Houston Press: In Harris County, 77 percent of the jail population are people who have yet to be convicted of crimes, who are in jail because they cannot afford to get out. A recent studyby Gerald Wheeler, retired director of Harris County Pretrial Services and a doctoral researcher,found that 81 percent of people charged with misdemeanors will spend time in jail, and of those, a quarter of them cant afford bail costing $500 or less. Only 7 percent were released on a personal bond. The lawsuit, filed on May 19,alleges that Harris Countys use of a strict bail schedule is unconstitutional, given that magistrates rarely ever stray from itand therefore almost always fail to consider someones ability to pay, as is required by law. Equal Justice Under Law attorney Elizabeth Rossi told the Houston Press that she and other lawyerssat in on bail hearings about 20 different times. Thehearings only lasted about one minute, and the magistrate never even gave defendants a chance to speak, she said. In the lawsuit, the attorneys note that one magistrate even told someone that a bail hearing was not the forum for discussing his ability to pay bail. When another asked, Can I say something? the magistrate responded:You can talk to me all you want, but its not going to change the outcome. Im setting it according to the schedule. Rossi said that after watching enough of them, the banality of the hearings struck her: Everybody whos involved in that process, from the judge to the deputies, just looked at it as another routine doldrum chore they have to do, and no one is thinking about the individual standing in that red square, maybe in an orange jumpsuit, whos about to be told whether hell be released to his family or not based on whether he can pay an arbitrary dollar figure. At this point, Id like to remind readers that the MAJORITY of these people have not been even charged with a crime, and many of them are accused of committing misdemeanors most of which are victimless crimes. Lets look at the cases of two of the people who are being represented in this lawsuit, for example. Maranda ODonnell, age 22, was drivingto her moms house to pick up her four-year-old daughter. She got pulled over andwas arrested for driving with an invalid license. She couldnt afford the $2,500 bail an amount set according to a pre-determined schedule that does not consider individual circumstances.ODonnell had been living with a friend because she could not afford her own place, and had just started a new job when she was hauled off to jail. Loetha McGruder was driving through Jacinto City on May 19 when she was pulled over by a police officer for driving about 10 miles an hour over the 40-mph speed limit.Instead of getting a ticket, the young pregnant mother of two found herself locked up in the Harris County jail for five days on a misdemeanor charge failing to present proper ID to the officer simply because she couldnt afford the bail. From the Houston Chronicle: Court records show that a Harris County hearing officer did not indicate on a form why he set her bond at $5,000 the maximum amount Harris County designates for misdemeanors. McGruder had no criminal history and two young children, the elder suffering from Down syndrome. And he never asked McGruder if she could afford to pay bail though under both federal and state laws magistrates are required to consider individual defendants cases individually including their ability to post bail. Robert Ryan Ford, a Houston man jailed after being charged with shoplifting about $100 in cosmetics, is another victim named in the lawsuit. Attorneys for Equal Justice Under Law called for ODonnells release, and she was let go from jail two days after her arrest. They also requested a constitutional bail hearing, during which a judge would consider her ability to pay the bail assigned to her. They are nowasking for the same right for more than 500 detainees in Harris County. An investigation by the Houston Chronicle found that 55 pretrial detainees died in Harris County custody from 2009-2015, including offenders jailed for misdemeanor crimes like trespassing. Last month, Patrick Joseph Brown was beaten to death by two inmates jailed on felony charges. Brownwas detained because he could not afford the $3,000 bail he was slammed with after allegedly stealing a guitar a misdemeanor.One of the inmates charged in the assault on Brown was allowed to post bond and leave the jail because investigators had not realized a crime had been committed and had not reviewed the surveillance video, the department confirmed. When Browns death was reported in April, Hickman said his jail staff was short by several hundred jailers and noted that operations are being continued by ordering jailers to report for mandatory overtime. Jose Fierros, 58, was also being held there on a misdemeanor charge unlawfully carrying a pocketknife (what does that even mean?). Magda Fuentes said Fierros, her uncle, was approached by Houston police officers on the morning of June17, 2015. She said hed been sitting in a park, reading a newspaper while waiting to be picked up by a friend for a construction job. Fierros was arrested and held on $1,000 bond.After only four days in custody, he died from blunt-force head trauma. In 2015, Patrick Green died of meningitis while caged in the Harris County Jail. A lawsuit filed in April says Green was sick in hiscell for at least two days, wracked with fever, chills, and a splitting headache before medical workers finally took him to the jails clinic. The suit says that despite desperate pleas from other inmates to help him, Green was ignored until it was too late. Hiswas one of 16 deaths in the jail in 2015, at least 10 which were due to medical issues, according to the Texas Commission on Jail Standards. Green was a recovering heroin addict who had relapsed and was locked up for violating his probation. Last year, his parents told theChronicle that their son pleaded guilty to the charge and decided to serve out his sentence because he knew he needed to confront the situation head-on. Tragedies like these are not limited to Harris County, of course. In March, the US Department of Justice, noting the many jail systems around the US that follow similar pay-or-stay bail schedules, sent guidelines to local courts denouncing debtors prisons. The DOJ letter said that funding municipal operations on revenue gleaned from fines is unconstitutional, and that courts should not jail people without proving the detaineewillfully refuses to pay a fine. The guidance urged courts to seek alternatives to locking up those unable to pay. Prisons and jails in the US are overcrowded, understaffed, unsanitary, and are filled with people who have been charged with victimless crimes. Here are the (terrifying) facts: Lest you believe that as long as you dont commit a crime, youll be just fine, consider these points from Bonnie Kristians recent articleHow Mass Incarceration Makes The Land of the Free the Home of the Caged: Did you know you probably should be in jail? By one legal experts estimate, as many as70 percent of Americans have committed a crime thatcould land them in prison. In fact, according toJohn Baker, a retired Louisiana State University law professor, There is no one in the United States over the age of 18 who cannot be indicted for some federal crime. Its impossible to keep track of the absurd complexity of our federal criminal law alone, which now lists more than 4,500 crimesplus tens of thousands of additional agency rules whose violation can be punished as a criminal offense. At any given point, you could be doing something that logic and conscience suggest is perfectly harmless, only to discover thatUncle Sam disagreesand we havent even gotten to state and local laws! Over-criminalization means ordinary Americans are tangling with the legal system more often than they ought, and once that contact has been made, draconian sentencing laws mean theres a real chance theyll be in prison way too long for the offense in question. Mandatory minimum sentencing is the main culprit here, as it requires judges to hand down lengthy sentences regardless of the context of the crime in question. As conservative writer George Will has argued, this policy has empowered the government to effectively nullify the constitutional right to a trial. In the article Law Puts Us All in the Same Danger as Eric Garner, Yale law professor Stephen L. Carter opens with a painful truth: On the opening day of law school, I always counsel my first-year students never to support a law they are not willing to kill to enforce. Usually they greet this advice with something between skepticism and puzzlement, until I remind them that the police go armed to enforce the will of the state, and if you resist, they might kill you. I wish this caution were only theoretical. It isnt. Carter goes on to discuss the work of legal scholar Douglas Husak and his 2009 book Overcriminalization: The Limits of the Criminal Law. A citizen who wants to abide by the law has no quick and easy way to find out what the law actually is a violation of the traditional principle that the state cannot punish without fair notice. In addition to these statutes, he writes, an astonishing 300,000 or more federal regulations may be enforceable through criminal punishment in the discretion of an administrative agency. Nobody knows the number for sure. Every day, there are about 500,000 people in America being caged solely for being too poor to pay the extortion fee for their release. The legal system in the US is supposed to guarantee that everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. As Equal Justice Under Law explains: Those who can afford their freedom pay for it, while others sit in jail pending trial simply due to their inability to pay. Such wealth-based detention has disastrous consequences: overcrowding of local jails, lost jobs, lost housing, shockingly poor sanitation and medical care, broken families, and drained local budgets. In many cases, an arrestee may be held longer in jail while awaiting trial than any sentence she or he would likely receive if convicted, causing even innocent people accused of crimes to plead guilty to offenses that they did not commit in order to cut short lengthy pretrial detention. Individuals who are detained are not able to assist their attorneys in the investigation of the charges against them, resulting in wrongful convictions and longer sentences. The toxic blend of too many laws, corrupt enforcers, out-of-control cops, exorbitant fees and fines, and the War on Drugs has proven to be a recipe for disaster for US citizens. As terrible as this news is, Ill leave you with what may be a glimmer of hope from the Houston Press: Since the start of 2015, Equal Justice Under Law has filed 17 lawsuits across the country, including this one, seeking to end the cash bail system. Where it has won, local jurisdictions mostly midsize cities such as Montgomery, Alabama, or Velda, Missouri have been forced to upend their bail systems and entirely ditch their existing bail schedules, which were found to be unconstitutional. The group has won eight cases so far, and hasnt yet lost a single one. Thats a good start, but the US sure has a long, long way to go.

I am happy to live in Europe Yugoslavia was smashed because Milosevic wouldnt hand over all water and mineral rights to the UN like the rest of the western world at the time, America was just the tool used by the elites to do the smashing, also to set the stage for the next world war between the Muslims and the west. Sorry for the destruction of your country, but the average American had no control then or now how our military gets used. I love and respect all the average Americans who have no idea what is really happening around the world because of media manipulations and I do believe that an average American would act to STOP own elite that is going mad right now True, but not our elite, the elite have no loyalty to any country, only themselves. They are not American or any other nationality except as cover. The 8th Amendment says, Excessive bail shall not be required The fact that a person cannot make bail demonstrates that it is excessive. So the evil rulers are either morons, or corrupt to the core. The constitution doesnt apply to us in a court of Admiralty Law (U.C.C.) The BAR started to replace the constitution in the courts in 1909, FDR mandated it in 1933 for all states, no right to do so, but all the uniformed guys with guns obey them, not the people, kinda of highlights where the government truly gets their power, from the tip of a gun barrel. well if we fight back and start demanding that any misdemeanor that is not tried within 10 days is excused, this will get those judges moving. and any judge that is found in corruption of the laws of that state is facing a mandatory 50 year sentence, Good piece. 33 
3	Smart Meters UnveiledCatherine J. Frompovich Think again, especially when it comes to new smart electric, gas, or water meters that are AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) SMs, which can do a few things consumers really may not be aware of and which really are NOT very smart safety-wise. SMs send RFs (Radiofrequency non-ionizing radiation) into the homes they are retrofitted on; SMs collect information from within the homeeven have the capability to record conversations, plus monitoring various appliances, occupancy times, etc.; SMs then transmit your in-house personal data via microwaves to utility company home offices, which is house wiretapping without a legal search warrant. SM technologies can be hacked into, but thats something utility companies may not have addressed before installing a recording spy on to your house. If you are not familiar with SM technology and what it can do, an independent researcher shared this information with me and asked that I publish it. So, below are some quick reference points to know. SMART METERS RESEARCH SUMMARY Some equate the politics behind and employed by the vaccine industry, which are leading toward tyrannical vaccine mandates, as also being employed by the energy industry. Once again, corporate greed the profit motive at public expense seems to be rearing its gluttonous monstrous head. And like the many fraudulent clinical trials passing as science within vaccinology, unchecked microwave science corruption is pervasive. Apparently, unpromulgated regulation is allowed to pose as legitimate law for smart meter installation. In the end, both violate human rights, plus damage public and environmental health. All these facts have been fully documented and verified by many professionals, insiders and whistleblowers in the Take Back Your Power documentary, among myriad other sources of journalistic reporting. UNPROMULGATED REGULATION Kathy Kolich, Attorney No. 92203, Counsel for Metropolitan Edison Company, Pennsylvania Electric Company, Pennsylvania Power Company, and West Penn Power Company in an August 20, 2012 petition to Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission: Part III Section a, p. 3, states: The PUC did not adhere to the formalities required to adopt a regulation and as a consequence, the August 3 Implementation Order does not have the force of law that attends a regulation. [CJF emphasis added] .if orders are so interpreted, then they are illegal because they are in the nature of unpromulgated regulations. VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS Smart meters monitor private activities and events occurring in/on each property retrofitted with an SM. Such installations, without owner consent, are and shall be violations of the U.S. Constitution BOR 4th Amendment; the U.S. Code Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 119 Sec. 2511 (wiretapping), and U.S.C. Title 18, Sec. 351(e) (assault) and numerous other laws and protections, i.e., for criminal trespass, stalking, battery, public endangerment, pollution, damage to property values and most notably when smart meters explode and catch on fire. All customers with smart meters apparently are having their electric usage data sold to third parties for profit-making marketing schemes along with apparent spying purposes without their consent, as confirmed by former NSA senior executive Thomas Drake, turned whistleblower. Customers with smart meters across the country and the world have received fraudulent billings with exponential increases resulting from the malfunction of these devices to measure actual electric power usage. Stanford University students were able to prove that, as documented in Take Back Your Power. Yet, these meters are marketed as cost-effective and cost-saving nothing short of a bald-face misleading public relations campaign. Many customers with SMs around the country have had their identities stolen because SM security vulnerability and hackability, which also affect power supply, as confirmed by James Woolsey, former CIA Director during the Take Back Your Power documentary interview. DAMAGE TO PUBLIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH Adverse health effects from electromagnetic radiation begin at 0.05 units. Smart meters emit 7.93 units per cm squared one foot away, split into 10,000-190,000 pulses, each at 4.5 millisecond in duration every few seconds, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks in the yearwith no let up! The above data is confirmed by Dr David Carpenter, Harvard Medical School and founder of the University of Albany School of Public Health, NY. Dr Carpenter has authored 220 publications. One foot away from SMs for two minutes of exposure causes red blood cells to become abnormal and broken, as reported by Dr Frank Springob. People with SMs on their homes have inflammatory markers in their blood TGF Beta 1, MMP-9, and copper, which increase, while neurotransmitters and hormone levels become abnormal, as discussed by Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD. Over 6,000 scientific studies have been conducted since the 1930s, which document adverse human health effects from microwaves and radiofrequency non-ionizing radiation, including the 1972 U.S. Navy report, Bibliography of Reported Biological Phenomena (Effects) and Clinical Manifestations Attributed to Microwave and Radio-frequency Radiation. Richard H Conrad, PhD, contends No research or testing have been done on the effects of SM emissions on humans, with the exception of three different surveys which report human sensitization to smart meter emissions resulting in unusual and severe: insomnia, headaches, tinnitus and heart arrhythmias. [1] Fifty-four experts from 20 countries raised red flags about SM RFs in 2012. To maintain the corporate agenda, however, Motorola deliberately ignored and apparently subverted Dr Jerry L Phillips research on DNA damage at the University of Colorado [2], as revealed in the Take Back Your Power documentary. Numerous negative environmental impacts also are documented. Public Utility Commissions and State Departments of Health have failed to warn customers of the threat to health and safety from radiofrequency non-ionizing radiation and to exercise the Precautionary Principle. The Tide is Slowly Turning In California, where smart meters were first installed, 57 local ordinances have now opposed installation. A total of thirty-five states have organized opposition in the USA. Germany, Bulgaria, Brazil, Egypt, and Australia have smart meter protests on the rise. France and Israel will no longer allow Wi-Fi in elementary classrooms. How to Protect Yourself from SM RF Radiation There are devices available that can provide some shielding, but probably no one can guarantee 100% RF protection. Readers may want to do your research to find what suits your needs. How to Protect Yourself from Smart Meter Radiation Smart Meter Radiation Shield How Can I Shield My Smart Meter?

3	Consumer Alert: BPA-Free Goods Still Contain Toxic BisphenolSayer Ji, Contributor If you are already sensitive to the highly concerning issue of toxic chemicals in everyday consumer products, youve probably noticed these BPA-Free labels popping up everywhere. Bisphenol A (BPA), of course, is a chemical capable of disrupting our hormones, and is especially problematic in pregnancy, infancy and childhood times of greatest susceptibility to the adverse effects of environmental exposures. Now that consumers are refusing to buy BPA-containing containers, manufacturers have had no choice but to oblige with seemingly bisphenol-free alternatives. Ironically, BPA is used to make Sippy Cups (and polycarbonate) shatterproof, and therefore safer. But, instead of manufacturers actually removing the danger in BPA-free labeled products, many are capitalizing on this marketing opportunity by removing only the perception of danger, opting to substitute BPA for equally toxic members of the bisphenol chemical class. An Alphabet Soup of Toxic Bisphenols In Consumer Goods While BPA has received the most negative attention, often being labeled as bisphenol for short, the bisphenols are such a broad chemical class that they are identified pseudo-alphabetically, spanning letters A-Z: Bisphenol A has become the primary focus of consumer advocates for several reasons: Primary routes of exposure include Despite industry spokespersons and industry-funded scientists claiming BPA does not possess estrogenic properties of any biological significance, it was first acknowledged and used as an artificial estrogen in the early 1930s, where it was used both to fatten poultry and cattle, as well as a form of estrogen replacement therapy in women in the mid-1930s.[2] Only later, in the 1940s, did Bayer and General Electric use BPA to harden polycarbonate plastics and make epoxy resin, the latter of which is still used to line nearly the entire worlds supply of food and beverage containers. Only Japanese industries, which responded to consumer concern about the toxic effects of BPA between 1998-2003, voluntarily reduced BPA in favor of safer alternatives. In the United States and abroad, in response to growing consumer concern over the safety of BPA, manufacturers have been rapidly substituting Bisphenol S (and possibly other bisphenol analogues) in its place. How do we know this? After all, manufacturers are not required to list bisphenols explicitly on the labels of the consumer products within which they are used. Two new studies reveal that Bisphenol S (BPS) has become as dominant as BPA in manufacturing paper products we come into contact daily, as well as in terms of measurable human exposure. First, a study published last week in the journal Environmental Science Technology found BPS in thermal paper from stores in the US, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam, at concentrations similar to earlier reports of BPA. Concentrations were found as high as 22 mg per gram of paper two orders of magnitude higher concentrations than are considered biologically significant. BPS was also found in 87 percent of the paper currency assayed from 21 countries, indicating it is being utilized on a truly global scale. The same week the same journal published another study titled, Bisphenol S in Urine from the United States and Seven Asian Countries: Occurrence and Human Exposures,[3] revealing for the first time that Bisphenol S concentrations in urine from the citizens of 8 countries were within the same concentration ranges as Bisphenol A levels reported by the same research group in the year before.[4] Despite the industry-wide move away from BPA towards BPS, they both exhibit similar estrogen-like properties. A 2005 study performed by a Japanese research group found that BPS was only a slightly weaker estrogen than BPA. But, as the Environmental Health News reported in 2010: A growing body of additional research now indicates that Bisphenol S is both estrogenic and uterotrophic (increasing the weight of the uterus), with clearly carcinogenic potential.[6] [7] [8] [9] [10] A 2012 study published in the journal Toxicology In Vitro discussed the industry-wide shift from using BPA in plastic baby bottles to BPS after the European Commission imposed a restriction on BPA use in 2011, as a direct result of scientific concerns over its estrogenic properties. The researchers found that By using two highly standardised transactivation assays, we could demonstrate that the estrogenic activity of Bisphenol A and Bisphenol S is of a comparable potency. The problem is that BPS is less well-known and researched than BPA for its potential adverse effects, and while regulators wait for manufacturers who promote their products with BPA-Free! stickers at the same moment that they infuse them with BPS to voluntarily reformulate, there is evidence now that BSA may actually have worse effects to environmental and human health, alike. One of the main concerns is that BPS is significantly less biodegradable than BPA. According to a study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research Public Health in 2009, BPS is not amenable to biodegradation and might be persistent and become an ecological burden.[11] Another study published in the journal Environmental Toxicology Pharmacology in 2005 found that BPS is more heat-stable and photo-resistant than bisphenol A.[12] BPS relative inability to biodegrade indicates: 1) once it is absorbed into the human body, it may accumulate there for longer periods of time. 2) it is more likely to persist in the environment, making external exposures to it, and its many metabolites, much more likely than the faster degrading BPA. In other words, its potential to do harm will worsen along the axis of time, not lessen, which is a common argument made for the purported safety of BPA. Recently, it was discovered that synthetic estrogens are leaching into our bodies from consumer products (e.g. parabens) and are now eclipsing natural human estrogens. A paraben ester was found at 1 million times higher concentrations than natural estrogen levels in the breast tissue of mastectomy patients. After several generations of better living through chemistry, we are discovering that we have poisoned ourselves and our environment (can we really separate them any longer?) into profound and possibly irrevocable disfigurement. What is needed now more than ever is a paradigm shift in how we regulate our exposure to chemicals, and the industries that produce them virtually unrestricted. Perhaps we must begin asking ourselves: What would the chemical and drug industries do without the twin disciplines of toxicology and pharmacology? The former provides ample justification for continually exposing us to an acceptable level of harm from the chemicals it secretes, and the latter convinces us just how we cant live without therapeutic chemicals, e.g. pharmaceuticals.

2	Obama Is Livid After Senator Rand Paul Says NO To His Ridiculous New Policy Obama has announced that he wants to continue to bring in Syrian Refugees into America despite the evidence found that they were involved in the ISIS attack. Rand Paul has had enough. He has drafted a bill that will halt visas from countries that have any relation to ISIS. National security has become a huge concern, to everyone except for Obama. We need to tighten security and keep ISIS out of America. Paul claims that the best way to prevent an attack in America is to keep the scum out of our borders. We fully support Rand Paul and his movement against Obama. Do you think we should keep immigrants from Jihadist countries out of America? 
3	What Are You Going To Do When A Massive EMP Blast Fries The U.S. Electrical Grid?Michael Snyder Unfortunately, our electrical grid is extremely vulnerable at this point. As you will see below, intelligence officials believe that China and Russia already have super-EMP weapons, and a whole host of smaller nations and terrorist groups are believed to be working on developing similar weapons. But even if the U.S. is never attacked by an EMP weapon, scientists tell us that it is inevitable that a massive solar storm will fry our electrical grid someday. If an event similar to the solar storm of 1859 happened today, it would be absolutely catastrophic. Known as the Carrington Event, that massive solar storm fried telegraph machines all over Europe and North America. At some point we will experience another such solar storm, and some scientists believe that we are already 50 years overdue for another one. In fact, the earth had a near miss just a few months ago. So what will happen if we are hit by a massive EMP blast? Well, according to a government commission that investigated this issue, approximatelytwo-thirds of the U.S. population could potentially die from starvation, disease and societal chaos within one year. It would be a disaster unlike anything that we have ever seen before in U.S. history. Frank Gaffney, the president of the Center for Security Policy, is even more pessimistic. He believes that a single EMP blast could potentially end up killing almost the entire population of the United States Within a year of that attack, nine out of 10 Americans would be dead, because we cant support a population of the present size in urban centers and the like without electricity Life after an EMP attack would probably be something that you might imagine life to be like around the late 1800s but with several times the population we had in those days, and without the ability of the country to support and sustain all those people, Graham says. They wouldnt have power. Food supplies would be greatly taken out by the lack of transportation, telecommunication, power for refrigeration and so on. And remember, this does not require an attack by a foreign power. A gigantic solar storm could cause an event like this at literally any time. According to arecent WND article, it is estimated that it would take four to ten years to recover from a direct hit from a massive solar storm If the earth is hit by a direct solar flare, some of which can be 14 times the size of the earth, scientists from NASA and the National Academy of Sciences say it would cost the nation alone up to $2 trillion in the first year. It could take four to 10 years to recover and affect 90 percent of the U.S. population, meaning widespread starvation and death. So what would life look like for you and your family if this happened? Consider the following -There would be no heat for your home. -Water would no longer be pumped into most homes. -Your computer would not work. -There would be no Internet. -Your phones would not work. -There would be no television. -There would be no radio. -ATM machines would be shut down. -There would be no banking. -Your debit cards and credit cards would not work. -Without electricity, gas stations would not be functioning. -Most people would be unable to do their jobs without electricity and employment would collapse. -Commerce would be brought to a standstill. -Hospitals would not be able to function. -You would quickly start running out of medicine. -All refrigeration would shut down and frozen foods in our homes and supermarkets would start to go bad. -Some vehicles would no longer be able to start at all. -Traffic lights would no longer be working. -Airplanes would not be able to go anywhere. -Wall Street would not be able to function at all. -Government services would collapse. A lot of these effects would start to be felt immediately. An article by Mac Slavo detailed some of the things that we could expect to see in the immediate aftermath of a massive EMP blast The first 24 48 hours after such anoccurrencewill lead to confusionamongthe general population as traditional news acquisition sources like television, radio and cell phone networks will be non-functional. Within a matter of days, once people realize the power might not be coming back on and grocery store shelves start emptying, the entire system will begin to delve into chaos. So what is the federal government doing to protect us against such a horrific disaster? Absolutely nothing. In fact, according to a recentWND article, ex-CIA Director Michael Hayden says that the Obama administration has no plans to defend us against an EMP blast Contrary to the findings of a 2008 commission mandated by Congress to consider a defense against an electromagnetic pulse attack and its effects on the national grid, a retired Air Force general who also headed the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency says that there isnt a solution to an EMP attack. Speaking before the Bipartisan Policy Center at a conference on the threats to the U.S. electrical grid, Michael Hayden also said the Obama administration has no plan to defend against an EMP. In fact, Hayden says that there really arent any solutions to this problem I dont mean to be so flippant, but there really arent any solutions to this, so I would just leave it at that, Hayden said. Of course that is a complete and total lie. It would take less than a billion dollars to protect the largest transformers in our electrical grid. But the Obama administration refuses to do it. Since the Obama administration is doing nothing,some state government officials are now considering taking action At the National Council of State Legislatures last week in Atlanta, a number of lawmakers said theyre preparing legislation similar to a bill introduced in Maine recently did under the leadership of Rep. Andrea Boland. Efforts are under way to press the membership of the NCSL to address the EMP issue, since the federal government has failed to take action to mitigate the potential for a catastrophic event, whether natural or man-made. An EMP event could knock out the U.S. electrical grid system and the critical infrastructures that rely on it. Along with the national electrical grid, other critical infrastructures include telecommunications, banking and financial transactions, oil and natural gas pipelines, transportation, food and water delivery, emergency services and space systems. And without a doubt, our electrical grid represents the soft underbelly of U.S. infrastructure. Attacks on the electrical grid happen all the time, but most of them are not reported by the mainstream media. The following report of an attack is from a recent Forbes article More than 10,000 people in Arkansas were dumped into a blackout Sunday following an attack on that states electric grid, the FBI said today, the third such attack in recent weeks. In August, a major transmission line in the region, around Cabot, Ark., was deliberately cut. The FBI said that two power poles had been intentionally cut in Lonoke County on Sunday, resulting in the outage. The following is how the FBI described the attack In the early morning hours of September 29, 2013, officials with Entergy Arkansas reported a fire at its Keo substation located on Arkansas Highway 165 between Scott and England in Lonoke County. Fortunately, there were no injuries and no reported power outages. Investigation has determined that the fire, which consumed the control house at the substation, was intentionally set. The person or persons responsible for this incident inscribed a message on a metal control panel outside the substation which reads, YOU SHOULD HAVE EXPECTED U.S. But minor attacks like that are nothing compared to what an EMP weapon could potentially do to our electrical grid. And our strategic enemies have been working on developing such weapons. The following is a short excerpt from a statement by Dr. Peter Vincent Pry to the United States Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Homeland Security on March 8th, 2005 Russian and Chinese military scientists in open source writings describe the basic principles of nuclear weapons designed specifically to generate an enhanced-EMP effect, that they term Super-EMP weapons. Super-EMP weapons, according to these foreign open source writings, can destroy even the best protected U.S. military and civilian electronic systems. But it is not just Russia and China that we need to be worried about. According to Pry, North Korea also has such weapons Pry pointed out that South Korean military intelligence has warned not only their government but also the U.S. that North Korea is developing super-EMP warheads with Russian help. In 2011, Pry pointed out, a military commentator with the Peoples Republic of China stated that North Korea has super-EMP warheads. Data from North Koreas nuclear tests, he said, are consistent with a super-EMP warhead. And it should be noted that it is very possible to create a devastating EMP burst without exploding a nuke high up in the atmosphere. In fact, the U.S. and other nations have been very busy working on such weapons. For example, the U.S. military has reportedly developed a directed electromagnetic pulse gun that can take out all electronics within a limited area. This kind of EMP weapon can be fired from a plane, a cruise missile or even a drone. The following is how this class of weapon was described in a WND article A pre-programmed cruise missile not too different from a drone has been proven to be capable of blasting out an EMP-type microwave that was able to destroy personal computers and electrical systems inside a building over which it was flying. The U.S. Air Force and its contractor Boeing have created the High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile Project, or CHAMP, which was just tested over a Utah desert. In addition, radio frequency weapons are so simple that terror groups or even lone wolf crazies could easily build them and use them. The following is from an article by F. Michael Maloof Such an individual with a penchant for electronics can pull together components from a Radio Shack or electronic store even order the components off of selected Internet websites and fashion a radio frequency, or RF, weapon. As microprocessors become smaller but more sophisticated, they are even more susceptible to an RF pulse. The high power microwave from an RF weapon produces a short, very high power pulse, said to be billions of watts in a nanosecond, or billionths of a second. This so-called burst of electromagnetic waves in the gigahertz microwave frequency band can melt electrical circuitry and damage integrated circuits, causing them to fail. Constructing a radio frequency weapon is not difficult at all. In fact, you can find instructions for how to build them on the Internet. In the future, electromagnetic weapons are going to become even more powerful and even easier to use. Meanwhile, we are going to continue to become even more dependent on electricity and technology. I hope that you are getting ready while you still can. This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

2	Youll Never Believe What Illegal Thing Michelle Obama Is Encouraging Illegal Aliens To Do Recently, in New York City, First Lady Michelle Obama gave a speech at the League of United Latin American Citizens convention, during which she promised that her husband would do whatever it takes (including acting on his own) to fix the immigration system. Make no mistake about it,we have to keep on fighting as hard as we can on immigration, she told the crowd, And as my husband has said, hes going to do whatever administrative action it takes to fix this broken system. Michelle continued on to say, We cannot afford to wait on Congress to lift up our next generation. We cant afford to wait on anybody when it comes to our kids future. This wasnt the end of her ridiculous speech. Latinos were being brutalized and killed by police and lynched by the KKK, Michelle blurted out, No Mexicans Allowed signs hung outside of restaurants and storefronts. Latinos often couldnt own property or serve on a jury. And if you walked into a public building, youd often see not two water fountains, but threeone white, one black, and one brown. It appears the Obamas arent just willing to deny the present to meet their needs, theyre also willing to alter history. What do you think? Is it time the Obamas are held to the truth?

Stine broke his long-held media silence Monday to announce that Slappy, the evil ventriloquist's dummy from the Goosebumps Night Of The Living Dummy trilogy, was a homosexual. 'This is not completely unexpected,' said Goosebumps fan Ned Kosorowski, who has long speculated that the fictional wooden doll preferred the company of men, and has even written fan fiction describing graphic sexual encounters between Slappy and Amy's father. 'Slappy's constant attempts to break out of the closet that Amy stores him in at night clearly represent his struggle with homosexualityas well as his deep-seated, repressed feelings for [rival ventriloquist's dummy] Mr. Wood.' Stine refused to address rumors regarding the possibility that Greg from Say Cheese And DieAgain! suffers from bipolar disorder.

3	If the US Loses Syria, the US Loses its EmpireTony Cartalucci, Contributor It was made public as early as 2007 by Seymour Hersh in his report The Redirection published in the New Yorker that the US, Israel, Saudi Arabia and others were gathering, funding, arming, and deploying a front of violent sectarian extremists, many with ties to Al Qaeda, to undermine, destabilize, and eventually lead to the overthrow of the governments of Lebanon, Syria, and Iran. The violent campaign was rolled out publicly in the wake of a similarly premeditated geopolitical ploy, the so-called Arab Spring, and has since then been clearly exposed as the work of violent terrorist networks. Ironically, these terrorist networks are those allegedly the impetus of the War on Terror, now paradoxically being funded, armed, and politically backed by the West. It was reported that Libyan terrorists led by Abdul Hakim Belhaj, commander of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), a US State Department-listed Foreign Terrorist Organization, had joined the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA) along with sectarian extremists from Iraq who specialize in the indiscriminate terrorist bombings now ravaging Syria. In fact, the true nature of Syrias rebels has become so well known, that recent attempts to sway public opinion with continued, but unsubstantiated reports of atrocities aimed at demonizing the Syrian government have been met with skepticism, doubt, and even indignation by the public giving nations like Russia and China not only the opportunity to defy Western dictates, but a moral imperative to do so as well. Collapsing Legitimacy Leads to Collapsing Empires The global hegemony of Wall Street and London has been built behind a facade of human rights, freedom, and democracy. As these principles are eroded back home in the West, their use for dressing up otherwise naked imperialism, corporate monopolization, and military aggression abroad has become overt and increasingly ineffective. Should the US fail in its attempts to overthrow the government of Syria, and quite likely even if it does manage to succeed at this late hour, so much damage has been done to the Wests credibility, as well as to the credibility of its allegedly independent institutions, that future gambits will be even more difficult to execute. As the Wests economy and geopolitical power crumbles and its reach becomes less subtle and more adversarial, shareholders will seek more secure investments, financially, politically, and even tactically. Maintaining an empire relies on an immense global infrastructure the West still possesses but it is an infrastructure that is meeting competition from not only rival hegemonies, but from within individual nations as well, on both a national and grassroots level. Empires are also built on psychological factors such as faith in ones institutions and fear of ones military prowess. The West has been increasingly faltering in all respects in a world where these concepts are becoming increasingly challenged by shifting social, economic, and technological paradigms. What the West should be doing is positioning itself for this changing world instead it is clinging to a crumbling empire, scrambling to build a global paradigm rendered antiquated long before it has even been implemented. Boycotting the corporate-financier interests behind this attempt at establishing global hegemony will accelerate and ensure its failure while resolving ourselves to creating genuine institutions on a local and national level for and by the people will ensure that we are not left in disarray once these corrupt globalist institutions are rendered moot.

1	With many trivial questions still unanswered about the separation of pop star Robin Thicke from actress Paula Patton, Access Hollywood correspondent Liz Hernandez vowed Wednesday to do whatever it takes to get to the very surface of the story. I will not rest until Ive uncovered every single superficial detail and interviewed every vapid source about this troubled celebrity couples split, said Hernandez, pledging to vigilantly document all of the latest speculation regarding Thickes new potential love interests and investigate any and all possible inane connections between the separation and Pattons post-breakup wardrobe selections. Our viewers deserve a presumptuous, insubstantial take on what went wrong, and I will jump to any conclusions necessary to make sure they are informed. At press time, the intrepid entertainment journalist had reportedly come upon several heretofore unseen insignificant paparazzi photos of Thicke and discovered that the scope of the story was far more unimportant than anyone could ever imagine. 
2	NRA Responds To Obamas Tearful Message On Gun Control The nation erupted when President Barack Obama cried to the American people during his executive action speech about his new gun control measures. The gun lobby may be holding Congress hostage right now, but they cant hold America hostage, Obama told the nation, through crocodile tears. Not everybody was fooled by the emotional display, however. Chris Cox, the head of the NRAs lobbying arm, was quick to speak out. We will not allow law-abiding gun owners to become scapegoats for President Obamas failed policies, Cox argued, adding that Americans cannot forget that Obama is attempting to limit their Second Amendment rights. The proposed executive actions are ripe for abuse by the Obama administration, which has made no secret of its contempt for the Second Amendment, Cox continued. The NRA will continue to fight to protect the fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed under our Constitution. What do you think? Do you see through Obamas performance? Its going to take more than tears to strip of us of our rights. 
3	Refusing Smart Meters to Protect Your Health and PrivacyAnna Hunt, Contributor By providing detailed information about the energy usage in your home, smart meters can alert you if your new smart refrigerator suddenly becomes an electricity hog and needs to be serviced, if your kids had a party when you were off on a business trip, or if you forgot to turn off your smart stove before you left for work. Goodbye Privacy Hello Big Brother Depending on the functionality of the meter, the smart meter may be able to track how much electricity is used within each room of the home, as well as how much is used by the various new smart appliances in your house. Just as the smart meters can communicate wirelessly with devices such as TV sets or tablets to show you your electrical consumption, they also communicate this information with the power company, which keeps records about the volumes and patterns associated with your daily life. Below is a video that explores the privacy implications of this data exchange. With this information, whoever has access to the data can get a pretty clear picture of your life: how much time you spend out of the house and at what time of the day; when you watch TV the most; when you are on vacation; if it looks like youre running a business out of your home; and so forth. The implications for personal surveillance are staggering. Governments, law enforcement agencies, and even companies will be able to access the data housed by the electric company (which the government is already doing to enforce business licenses). The implications are even more serious considering that such intimate personal data about your daily life can be easily intercepted by hackers as it is broadcast over the radio waves. Electromagnetic Radiation and Your Health This short video that shows a resident measuring the radio signals sent from the smart meter using microwave radiation. This man decided to make this video because within 3-months of the installation of a new smart meter, the shrubbery around the smart meter mysteriously died, although it thrived around the old electrical meter without any problems and continues to thrive a certain distance beyond the meter. Advocates of smart meters will tell you that the wireless radiation emitted by these devices is within safe levels, often referencing decades of research, much of which has been funded by the companies that make the smart meters. Unfortunately, many are beginning to suffer with insomnia, headaches and other illnesses after the installation of a smart meter. In May of 2011, the World Health Organization official recognized that wireless radiation such as emitted by smart meters is a possible carcinogen. source Read more: Smart Meter and Electromagnetic Radiation: Another Health Crisis Of Our Time What Can You Do? Are you going to allow the power company to install a radiation-emitting surveillance device on your home? Heres an interview with a woman from Illinois that refused to have one installed on her house, informed the electric company of her decision by writing, yet was eventually arrested when the police and electric company crew came once again to install the meter on her house. Power companies will typically install these devices on your home based on implied consent unless you make it clear that you do not grant permission for them to switch out your old meter or add any new device to your home. Some utilities companies, for example PGE in California, are charging opt-out fees of customers refusing the smart meters, in an attempt to dissuade people from opting out as well as to cover the cost of paying workers to read the analog meters each month. (source) The opposition to smart meters is growing everyday as more people learn about the sinister implications of these devices. In Texas, Republican Senator Dennis Bonnen has threatened to draft legislation that would allow all residents to opt-out from the Public Utility Commissions smart meters initiative. The first step to refusing a smart meter is informing your utilities company by certified letter that you do not grant permission for them to install a smart meter on your home due to concerns about health and privacy. Sure, the concept of having more control over your home appliances may sound cool to some, but. Yet are you willing to throw away your privacy and jeopardize your health for just some cool smart home features that youve been able to live without until now?

1	In an interview following Japan's 10-6 victory against Cuba in the World Baseball Classic championship game Monday, Ichiro Suzuki called the tournament a 'great opportunity to represent anything besides the Seattle Mariners.' 'Playing alongside my countrymen on the world stage was nice, but the highlight of the event for me was not having to watch helplessly from the on-deck circle as [Seattle outfielder] Willie Bloomquist pops out for the fourth time in one game,' said Ichiro, who has been contemplating a return to his non-Mariner roots since late 2003. 'Honestly, I would have played for the Netherlands team if it meant 17 days away from the Mariners spring-training camp.' Although he said that the legendary Sadaharu Oh did a fine job coaching Team Japan, Ichiro added that 'next to Mike Hargrove, any idiot in a baseball cap would seem like a decent manager.' 
1	David Cavanaugh, best known as the guy who says 'Previously on Heroes' at the beginning of the hit NBC program, revealed to reporters Tuesday that his true career ambition is to become the guy who says 'Previously on Lost' on the popular ABC show Lost. 'I'm extremely proud of the crucial part I play on Heroes,' said the 47-year-old voice-over actor, whose role on the show primarily entails alerting viewers that they are about to watch a short montage of scenes from prior episodes. 'I've taken this unseen narrator character as far as anyone can, and I've done everything I set out to accomplish on Heroes. Now I'm ready for the big leagues.' Cavanaugh, who landed his first big 'Previously on' role during the short-lived CW program Veronica Mars, said he had struggled for years to make ends meet by doing freelance 'To be continued' jobs and the occasional 'Promotional consideration provided by' gig. But after landing a dream 'Previously on' opportunity with the premiere of Heroes, Cavanaugh says there was no looking back. 'Don't get me wrong, there are 'Use only as directed' guys who would kill to be where I'm at, but I know I was meant for so much more,' Cavanaugh said. 'I'd lose a full syllable making the transition to Lost, but the show has such complex and mysterious recaps that I feel it would give my voice some real opportunities to shine. No offense to the way they do it on Lost, but I can take it in so many new directions.' 'First and foremost, I would hit that t in 'Lost' a little harder, instead of trailing off and leaving the viewer confused and directionless,' Cavanaugh added. 'That's 'Previously on' 101, if you ask me.' Though Cavanaugh has no professional experience saying 'Previously on Lost,' he said he is confident that his years of vocal training, his love of performing, and his familiarity with speaking two-thirds of the phrase would adequately prepare him for the new challenge. 'It's a daunting task, especially since you can't rely on such actorly tricks as facial expressions and body language,' Cavanaugh said. 'All I have is my finely tuned instrument and its subtle tones of honesty and vulnerability that envelope the viewers and make them feel safe and informed.' While the increasingly complex plots of network dramas forecast limitless possibilities for the 'Previously on' industry, Cavanaugh expressed concern over the recent trend of television shows using their own characters to introduce their summarizing montagesseen on both Battlestar Galactica and 24. 'I applaud those shows for taking a creative risk, but it's just not professional,' said Cavanaugh, singling out Edward James Olmos as the worst offender. 'On-screen actors don't have the skills to pull off a 'Previously on.' They think it's all about hitting the 'P,' because that's the flashy bit, but they have no respect for the 'on.'' 'Battlestar Galacticawhat's that, seven syllables?' he continued. 'What a waste.' Cavanaugh stressed that while it is important to be technically proficient with enunciation, the quality of the introduction must be rich and compelling or viewers will lose interest before watching a summation of events from previous episodes. 'They record my voice once to play over and over again, so I have to provide a wide scale of emotions in that phrase,' Cavanaugh explained. 'I need to capture a spectrum of feelings for every conceivable situation that could happen during a recap. That's just the kind of adaptability I could bring to Lost.' Though his desired position at Lost is not yet open and producers have not shown any interest in rerecording the show's recap introduction, Cavanaugh has begun compiling a three-hour demo reel to showcase the thousands of ways he can deliver the three-word narration. But as the plots to network dramas grow increasingly complicated, Cavanaugh believes the 'Previously on' field is wide open. 'There's so much that can still be done with short-form, pre-episode narration,' Cavanaugh said. 'Between Grey's Anatomy, Lost, and the occasional reality TV show episode after there has been a fistfight between the contestants, we are truly entering a golden age of saying 'Previously on.''

You go up and order first, and Ill stay here and make sure we dont lose our spot, Obama said to Saudi Arabias King Salman as he brushed away several unidentified crumbs from the tabletop and pulled over an additional unused chair from a nearby table for the pairs translator. After we get our drinks, we can jump right in on trade figures. And if it gets too loud here, we can go over to the other location on K Street, but let me just warn you that that ones a bit smaller and the bathroom line tends to snake into the seating area. At press time, sources confirmed that negotiations were derailed by a customer at the next table talking loudly on his phone. 
3	Why Sustainable Earth, But Not Sustainable Human Health and Freedom?Bernie Suarez Consider this: Why is the control system so eager to push for sustainable earth but nothing else apparently needs to be sustainable? Remember, this is the same climate change multi-billion dollar movement that spun off in the name of the now long dead and gone global warming hoax movement pushed by the globalist secret Club of Rome after their creation in April of 1968 while working under the orders of the Committee of 300. For those who still cant wrap their heads around this reality, you will never get to the core questions that matter. Instead, as Ive often discovered from conversation and debates with the usual progressive climate advocates, their knowledge, passion and beliefs are all based on faith. Thats right, faith in what another scientist or government authority has claimed. I recently challenged a climate activist in the streets of Hollywood. The woman seemed happy to tackle the climate issue, hoping to lure me into her all-planet-loving happy vibration and get me to donate to the movement. When I kindly but firmly confronted her as to why she believed what she believed, when I challenged her on the scientific and the conspiratorial sides of the argument she dismissed both arguments with, I know a researcher who agrees with me and I just dont believe that, respectively. In terms of anything to do with science (CO2, knowledge of Greenhouse gases, the earth, the atmosphere and climate) her only rebuttal was her knowledge obtained by another scientist. When I mentioned IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change) and how all of these scientists are government sponsored with a clear-cut agenda, she appeared to have no knowledge of this. When I mentioned Michael Mann and his fake exposed so-called Hockey Stick graph which ignored major temperature fluctuations on earth throughout history (Medieval warm period, Little-Ice Age), she responded with a blank look saying oh that thing! I use this story to illustrate the ignorance that drives the sustainable movement of climate worship and how this ignorance is so deeply engrained in the minds of those who push it that it now requires no logic, reason or ability to make your argument. Like a religion, the movement seems to be strictly based on blind faith and emotional commitment to that position, like rooting for a favorite team without having to know the entire detailed history of that team. This recent confrontation reminded me that its important to continue to challenge this global enslavement agenda which is disguised as a religion built on faith-based assumptions, propaganda, logical fallacies, and disinformation. Lets step back and ask more important questions that will challenge the paradigm of global control looming in the background of the climate religion and Agenda 21 sustainable living. Knowing that the primary goal is control of all human activity, let us ask questions like how about the sustainability of human freedom? Doesnt human consciousness deserve sustainability also? Is it really normal to live in a future world where government monitors what you are doing, how much energy you are consuming and subsequently punishing you for breaking the rules? Isnt sustaining human freedom important? Like, very important? Isnt the need to sustain true justice, liberty and equality also very important? Isnt it sickening and hypocritical that the worlds wealthiest 16% are said to consume over 80% of the planets resources? Isnt it disturbing that those who have concocted this plan for global sustainability are part of the same 16% (more like 0.01%) who are consuming the most resources? What about sustaining human health by removing ALL genetically modified (GMO) foods from the planet? How is Monsanto contributing to sustainability when in the best-case scenario their genetically modified food is at least suspected of causing cancer and disease? Wouldnt it be a move in a positive direction for human sustainability to terminate all GMO foods now? Or does human health sustainability not count? Why are there still toxins all around the planet affecting human health sustainability without a globalist secret society having meetings to stop this?? Hypocrisy One aspect of those who follow the climate religion that begs explanation is their willingness to ingest all sorts of poisons into their bodies (which ultimately also affects the planet as well when the body decomposes, human waste, etc.), be it blatantly genetically modified toxic foods, toxic metal laced mandatory vaccines, chemically toxic water and an entire food manufacturing industry that freely sprays food with toxic pesticides. Climate changers pushing the U.N.s Agenda 21 (without most of them realizing it) feel the earth is special but your body is somehow not. Their position is that your freedom is not important but the planets condition is. Its like making someone clean their prison cell until its spotless. Yes, you might die in that prison cell, miserable due to your captivity and sick because you are eating poison; but who cares, at least the cell is clean and spotless! The inconsistencies, hypocrisy and disconnect from humanity that the climate movement brings is not different from this logic. Climate changers view the earth with linear single-dimensional logic. They fail to realize the universe and everything in it is one complete form of energy that cannot be separated. The planet, the environment, the universe, human consciousness, freedom and the ability to thrive in a healthy clean pollution free world is all tied into one. You cannot focus on JUST the environment and then watch as humanity suffers from endless illnesses, depopulation, anguish and enslavement at the hand of an overreaching oppressive global government. And as the hypocrisy of the Agenda 21 movement hiding under the climate religion exerts its hypnotic effect on the masses, YOU, the human being are supposed to play second fiddle to the planet, even as the government literally destroys the planet themselves with their ongoing geoengineering spraying programs. Lets remember this is the same globalist-controlled government that seeks absolute power over humanity, loves propaganda and loves endless wars. This is a movement brought to you by the same controllers who want to depopulate the world down to 500 million and have no problem allowing the epidemic of cancer and other human diseases to explode to record numbers. As the climate goons continue to push their political goal of controlling all human activity in the name of saving the planet, no one should be fooled by the strategies they are employing to attract others to their agenda. They are able to convince the average politically asleep zombie that if the Koch brothers are resisting climate measures then it is proof that the evil corporations are the ones against climate change which presumably represents truth (I.E. the global warming deniers). This common enemies argument is so useful and believable that it works. The strategy is simple: Find a convincing enemy of the movement and pin your movement against them so as to attract others via the common enemy effect. Its that simple. Yes corporations are known for being greedy and ruthless, but heres the catch: so is government. And, more importantly, the Koch brothers pale in comparison to a deceptive movement and agenda concocted by some of the most greedy and powerful secret societies on the planet (the Club of Rome and the Counsel of 300). Oh I dont believe that This was the response I got from the activist who was selling Agenda 21s climate religion, when asked if she was aware of the Club of Romes publicly outlined long-term agenda for controlling all human activity by introducing a climate religion that would supersede all other religions and put the blame for the planets condition on the ever-consuming individual. So as we continue to march ever closer to the globalist new world order where every form of human activity will be surveilled, categorized, documented, and fully controlled for fines, fees, imprisonment or worse, lets document the steps that got us there. Persistent propaganda, blind belief, collectivism, lots of funding, and the mindset of acting for the greater good. Ignorance the great enemy In order to get to where we are today it is necessary for ignorance to prevail in a major way. Weve got just that, today. Ignorance of humanitys history is at an all-time high. Dont forget that the history of the Illuminati, the history of the globalist bankers, and the history of controlling governments and dictators is all part of our collective human history. What we are seeing is a generation who are completely ignorant of the history of their own species. This is the power of dividing people. When the people are divided they become unaware of each others history. This is what divide and conquer is all about. The information war is an at its peak, so if you are awake now is the time to let your light shine. Share this information with others. Its time to either throw out the whole sustainable religion talk from our vocabulary or start incorporating sustainability to human freedom, human dignity, and human health as well because its all interconnected. Consider how misdirected it is for a species to forsake its OWN sustainability (of health, happiness, and freedom) for the sake of sustaining its planet based on rules and science concocted by the very same voices at the top who are making billions $ promoting the very religion of sustainability while consuming most of the resources. The great challenge humanity faces is the quest to overcome the great ignorance we are under and see the bigger picture. Will enough people break through the ignorance and see the greater picture to change the ominous course we are on? Or will the bigger picture end at where we save the planet for the globalists to enjoy for themselves as they enslave the entire species? Only time will tell.

3	What In The World Just Happened To The New York Stock Exchange?By Michael Snyder Officials insist that there is no evidence that a cyberattack caused the technical problems even though hactivists had hinted that something may happen the night before. Adding to the suspicion is the fact that United Airlines and the Wall Street Journal also experienced very serious technical glitches on Wednesday. Others found it very curious that trading on the NYSE was halted just after Chinese stocks had absolutely plummeted the night before. In fact, Hong Kongs Hang Seng Index experienced the largest one day decline that we have witnessed since November 2008. So is there more going on here than meets the eye? Overall, the Dow was down 261 points on Wednesday, and the Dow and the SP 500 both closed below their 200 day moving averages. Iron ore had its biggest daily price drop ever, and the price of oil continued to decline. But it was the stunning shut down of the New York Stock Exchangethat made headlines all over the world The New York Stock Exchange, United Airlines and the Wall Street Journal have all fallen victim to a series of massive technical glitches within hours of each other. NYSE halted all trading for technical reasons at 11:32am and only reopened at 3:10pm but says the problem is an internal one and not the result of a cyberattack. It comes as tens of thousands of United Airlines passengers were stranded at U.S. airports on Wednesday morning after all of the carriers flights were grounded nationwide due to a computer system glitch. The Wall Street Journal was also left unable to publish after its systems came under attack and has been forced to switch to an alternative site design. In response to the shut down, the following photo began circulating on Twitter Zardoz Moot (@Zardoz_Moot) July 8, 2015 But was it really just a technical glitch? Of course they probably would never admit it publicly if it was a cyberattack. We live at a time when the authorities are much more concerned with keeping everyone calm than they are about telling us the truth. So in the end all we can really do is speculate about what really happened. But what we do know is that the stock market crash in China got even worse the night before this shutdown. The Shanghai Composite Index and the Hang Seng Index both declined by almost six percent overnight. Overall, the Shanghai Composite Index is now down by more than 30 percent in less than a month, and the Chinese version of the NASDAQis down by more than 40 percent In just three weeks, stocks listed on mainland Chinas most prominent exchange have fallen by more than 30% from their seven-year highs. The even more speculative ChiNext Index has lost 42% of its value over the 21 days. Government regulators have now banned, for six months, Chinese executives from selling stock in their own companies. This is only one of a number moves made by panicked officials. At this point, trading for approximately45 percent of all stocks on the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges has been suspended. So as a result the selling has bled over to the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong,and this has caused tremendous chaos Hong Kongs benchmark stock gauge plunged the most since the global financial crisis as an equity rout in mainland China rippled across Asia. The Hang Seng Index fell 5.8 percent to 23,516.56 at the close today, the biggest drop since November 2008, after slumping as much as 8.6 percent. Even though the Chinese have been trying all sorts of crazy things to stop the crash, nothing has worked. Instead, the selling restrictions have only seemed to fuel the panic even more Investors are disappointed and afraid that the Chinese policy makers lost control of the market, said Mari Oshidari, a Hong Kong-based strategist at Okasan Securities Group Inc. With no end in sight to the plunge, sentiment has turned cold. With liquidity drying up in the mainland, the Hong Kong market is being sold instead - the only thing it can do is just quietly take the storm. Meanwhile, things over in Europe have become more ominous as well. As I wrote about yesterday, EU officials have declared this week to be the final deadline for making a deal with Greece. On Wednesday, Greece applied for a new three year emergency loan, and European officials have saidthat they will consider it A race to save Greece from bankruptcy and keep it in the euro gathered pace on Wednesday when Athens formally applied for a three-year loan and European authorities launched an accelerated review of the request. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras called in a speech to the European Parliament for a fair deal, acknowledging Greeces historic responsibility for its plight, after EU leaders gave him five days to come up with convincing reforms. The government submitted a request to the European Stability Mechanism bailout fund to lend an unspecified amount to meet Greeces debt obligations and to ensure stability of the financial system. It promised to begin implementing tax and pension measures sought by creditors as early as Monday. But there is still a tremendous amount of skepticism about whether a deal can be reached. The Greeks want debt relief, but the Germans have completely ruled out any sort of a debt haircut. Most of the rest of the EU nations are siding with the Germans, and unless the Greek government caves in at the last moment it appears that a Grexit is quite likely. For most people, the events of 2008 have long since faded from their memories. After years of soaring stock prices, many in the financial world have become extremely comfortable. But as we are seeing in China, what goes up must eventually come down. And the shut down of the New York Stock Exchange today should be a huge wake-up call for all of us. We have become extraordinarily dependent on computers and technology, and this makes us exceedingly vulnerable. Someday, we might just experience a cyberattack that causes a tremendous amount of permanent damage that cannot be undone. What will we do then? Our world is becoming increasingly unstable, and events are beginning to accelerate as we enter the second half of 2015. So what comes next? Please feel free to share what you think by posting a comment below This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog. 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. Tis possible the NYStockExchange shut themselves down then called it a computer glitch..in regards to Chinas stock market meltdown..to keep from monkey,see,monkey dosituation.. Exactly too much of a coincidence. remember that some 82% of all trades are high frequency computer trades and that the Chinese market, after plunge is still up over 85% y/y. Back in 1999, Archipelago trading platform, came in a upgraded the NYSE to go high tech. John Thain, was the CEO at the time at the NYSE, then went to run Merril Lynch Brokerage before being swallowed up in 2008. With these installations they put all brokerage trades through Goldamn, Merril, Morgan Stanley and Citibank trading desks before going to the NYSE, so these firms began running ahead of all customer orders, by nanoseconds, before going to the NYSE floor for execution. Its all robbery. All Fixed theater and we are $!8 Trillion in debt. No tree grow to the sky. Wall St. adages Youre either at the table or on the table and You either prey or pray. All would be wise to understand the agenda of the ptb. See Georgia Guidestones. youre either at the table or on the table is not a realism! Too simplistic. The world is complicated. The event will happen where this top leadership (thieves) will come tumbling down I watched the interview of the NYSE Pres. It was so obvious he was lying. Dry mouth, hard to swallow, eyes looking off to the left for answers Vague answers to simple questions Attempted to change the subject away from the questions being asked He was lying. Stocks continued to trade through other brokerages even though the NYSE was officially off-line. Its Likely the NYSE was deliberately hacked by banksters as a Psyop of doom to Chinese markets to enhance panic that was already brewing. United Airlines could have been a coincidence and NY Times server was said to be down due to high demand by readers who wanted updates on the Chinese market, NYSE and United computer crash.. Never mind the markets crashing, look at the pretty kitteh!

2	BREAKING: Obama Just Announced That He Will Be Forcing You To Compensate Blacks For Slavery According to a recent report from Fox Business News, the White House is about to make a highly controversial move. The news is a glimpse of much bigger news that is going to come from the White House, next year, Im leaning towards, host Charles Payne told viewers of Making Money. I think that theres going to be an official apology from the White House to slavery in America and then a major push to get cash, and Im talking lots of cash. Paynes comments confirm speculation that a policy like this has been in the works for years. Many including those closest to President Obama will push him to make this happen, Payne continued. I actually think it would be a major mistake. Instead, Obama should really discuss and focus on all the progress we have made and how all Americans need to move forward for better days for all of our kids. What do you think? Is Obama setting a terrible example for our children?

1	In order to avoid capture by the visiting Minnesota Twins Thursday, Mariners center fielder Franklin Gutierrez bit down on his team-issued cyanide capsule during a run down between second and third base. 'When you're surrounded by defenders on both sides with no escape in sight, team protocol is to self-terminate,' said Mariners third base coach Jeff Datz, adding that running outside the baseline is never an option. 'Frankie conducted himself bravely. He attempted to advance to the far base, turned back to see if the near base was attainable, assessed the situation, and realized he was out of options. That's when I smelled the bitter almonds and I knew he was gone. When asked what information Gutierrez possessed that made suicide his only option, Datz chuckled humorlessly and lit a cigarette, saying, 'There's a lot you don't know about the Seattle Mariners.' 
1	With severe political instability, economic woes and a war in Chechnya threatening to tear Russia apart, Kremlin officials announced today that a man with a big stick will step forward to lead the troubled nation. Ailing prime minister Boris Yeltsin declared that he will step aside willingly, provided the unnamed stick-wielder was an imposing, burly man equipped with a stick of sufficient size to command total obedience and control. Russian officials have not ruled out the possibility of also equipping the man with large, hob-nailed boots. 
3	What If The Illuminati Had A Training Video?It might look a bit like this. You have been chosen as a potential initiate at Illumicorp tasked with doing the bidding of the globalist agenda in the following areas of the curriculum: I. Banking and Business: Here you will learn how a corporatist model will be set up to replace sovereign government with a world government run by experts in the fields of banking, technology and media. You will discover the role of central banking to ensure that nations who do not cooperate will be crushed with un-repayable debt; its citizens turned over to our management divisions the IMF, World Bank and other institutions of higher purpose. II. Military and Intelligence: Here you will begin to understand that the United States has been set up as the military arm of the New World Order to serve as the prototype for a global police force. You will also learn about the conditioning of the American populace to believe that war is peace, and that it is the role of their country alone to bring democracy to the world. Those who resist will eventually succumb to the hi-tech military-industrial-complex, subjected to all forms of military might including weather weapons. III. Politics: Here you will learn of the unspoken agreement between the two-party dictatorship political design of the United States which advances a single overall agenda even as the media stokes the fires of their superficial differences. For the increasingly distrustful public, you will be introduced to the concept of the rogue candidate as controlled opposition who serves to further fragment any true resistance to Illumicorps much larger agenda. Instead, this rogue candidate will provide a de facto centralized database of those dissidents who oppose the New World Order. IV: Education: Here you will learn about how education has been federalized to increase obedience and conformity on a mass scale. From the creation of the General Education Board in 1902, right through to Common Core today, coupled with licensing the official version of history via educational and theatrical releases the dumbing down of America has been a spectacular success for Illumicorp. But, as always, much more needs to be done. VI: Religion: Here you will understand this age-old system of organized social control which has created flocks marching in lock-step according to a rigid, centralized doctrine, abandoning their spirituality along the way. However, another key component of religion is very helpful to us: the fanatic. By encouraging fundamentalism, religious duty has now merged with State and military duty, thus creating true soldiers of God willing to kill and die in order to protect their particular brand from threats posed by other brands. The chaos created has produced calls from all sides to eradicate these terrorists and restore order. As always, Illumicorp is here to help. As the great plan reaches its final phase, having createdthwarted the darkness imposed by an overbreeding rabble of the unenlightened now in constant conflict, Illumicorp is ready to shine its full light of wisdom upon the Earth. You will move beyond the limits of nationality, class and religion and embrace our vision of one world government, one world religion, and true equality among human beings. New technologies offer the power to monitor and control every individual and predict their behavior, thus increasing our knowledge and management skills. With this power, we can ensure that the guidelines we have established over millennia are followed to the letter and the byte permanently. Mankind can finally be permitted to operate as a well-oiled machine. Will you help Illumicorp complete the plan? Please do remember: we are all in this together. Recently by John Galt: 
1	To write her recent profile detailing Milton Bradley's attempt to find peace within himself in Seattle, ESPN senior writer Elizabeth Merrill simply found her 2009 article about the troubled outfielder's attempt to find peace within himself in Chicago, changed the team name throughout the story from the Cubs to the Mariners, and replaced every mention of Lou Piniella with Seattle manager Don Wakamatsu. 'Writing these Milton Bradley 'I have finally turned my life around' stories is the easiest thing in the world,' Merrill told reporters, adding that she composed identical articles in 2004 and 2006 about Bradley's arrivals in Los Angeles and Oakland, respectively. 'I just open up my 'Bradley Finding Self In New Surroundings' template and from there it's pretty much just find-and-replace.' Merrill said she learned the trick from former ESPN boxing reporter Max Kellerman, who has used his 'Mike Tyson Opens Up On New Outlook On Life Following His Arrest' boilerplate more than 15 times.

3	ADHD and Criminals: Drug Corporations Want To Create More Lifetime CustomersSusanne Posel, Contributor Cooper said: There definitely is a perception that its a disease of childhood and you outgrow your need for medicines. Were beginning to understand that ADHD is a condition for many people that really lasts throughout their life. So far, 5% of the children in the US have been diagnosed with ADHD, a psychiatric disorder wherein the non-medical opinion of a psychologist is that a child is hyperactive, impulsive, has difficulty paying attention and therefore must be given pharmaceutical drugs so that focus in school can be achieved. The study analyzed court and prison records from 2006 2009 to determine the number of those convicted who were on a drug to treat ADHD; as well as the severity of their crimes. Only 10 control subjects were entered into the study. The findings showed: Thirty seven percent of convicts were pre-diagnosed with ADHD The Karolinska Institute is one of the leading pharmacological research institutions that clarify the field of clinical medicine with the push of the use of drugs to treat physiological and psychological issues. Thirty percent of medicinal training and 40% of medical academic research is conducted at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, and all lectures are translated into English and taught in universities in the US. Dr. Andrew Adesman, chief of developmental and behavioral pediatrics at the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Childrens Medical Center, confirms through past research that adults who were diagnosed with ADHD as children are more likely to: Get into driving accidents Adesman admits that not all children marked as ADHD go on to become criminals or divorcees, and that the majority of them simply grow out of the behavior. Yet, Adesman still maintains that despite the fact that ADHD is a phase of childhood that rarely carries into adulthood that collectively, people with ADHD are at risk for a range of poor outcomes. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), ADHD is treated with stimulants such as Methylphenidate (Ritalin, Metadate, Concerta, Daytrana), Amphetamine (Adderall), or Dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine, Dextrostat). These drugs have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for children as young as 6 years old. The accepted treatment of ADHD has a list of dangerous side effects such as: Being anti-social or withdrawn Dr. Fred Baughman, child neurologist and ADHD researcher states that the advent of ADHD diagnoses is a scheme to sell more anti-psychotic drugs to young children by the pharmaceutical corporations in conjunction with the psychiatric community. Baughman insists that a normal development in children has now been socially accepted as a neurological disorder that requires psychiatric treatment. Annually, Ritalin sales reach the billions and Adderall has unquestionably surpassed the once-leading drug treatment for ADHD to become the drug of choice for pediatricians. However, doctors admit that the children grow out of the symptoms of ADHD and that none of the accepted pharmaceuticals actually cure the alleged disease. Researchers, in keeping with the necessity for drugs to treat ADHD, claim that video games, television, and genetics are the causes of the disease while completely ignoring the chemical additives in processed foods that would be heightening a normal function in the neurological development of children. Maida Galvez, M.D., director of pediatric environmental health at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, explains that: Scientific evidence is limited to support the association between food additives and ADHD symptoms. Although it is possible that a very small group of children who are allergic to artificial colorings or preservatives may show improvement in symptoms on restriction diets, evidence is insufficient to recommend routine, widespread use of restriction diets to treat a childs ADHD symptoms. Artificial food coloring in addition to the preservative sodium benzoate was shown in studies to incited hyperactivity in children that had not been previously diagnosed with ADHD. Drug corporations that benefit from this scheme are: 1. Johnson Johnson In 2010, there was an explosion of sales for drugs treating ADHD to the extent that manufacturers could not keep the drugs on the shelf. Without having a clear science of diagnosis, any psychiatrist could (and did) label as many children as possible with ADHD for the sake of profits to the pharmaceutical industry, as well as lending credibility to the interpretive world of psychiatry because this specialty analyzes emotional responses and behaviors without using scientific measurements or knowledge of causational disturbances that are reflected in real, physical diseases. ADHD is one of the most lucrative schemes concocted by the psychiatric community in order to justify the development of pharmaceutical drugs that were already in production.

3	The History Of DHS Ammunition PurchasesThis year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future. The question of whether a leader is good or a tyrant is an age old question. Being the one who wears the crown opens you up to criticism from all levels, and, to be quite frank, you cant make everyone love you. This article is to outline purchases by the Department of Human resources since August 2002, a ten-year span. The Department of Homeland Security was created by then President Bush as a preventative measure from further terror attacks on American soil. And since its inception has been fodder for skeptics and fuel for those demanding a smaller, unintrusive government. Below you will find the lists of solicitations, hyperlinked to their pages located at http://www.fbo.gov. The following filters were used: US Coast Guard and Secret Service were not accounted for. The USCG rarely requested ammunition, and the Secret Service were mainly Award Only notices. No amounts of ammunition could be obtained. Any Award Notice only entries were omitted due to the lack of needed information. The last chart provides the chilling breakdown of just how much ammunition was requested. The grand total? A mere 1.88 BILLION rounds ordered in less than eight years time. Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition to purchase an interim supply of 18,000,000 rounds of .40 Smith Wesson (SW) Caliber 135 grain ammunition to bridge the gap in inventory until long term Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts can be put in place. Contract awarded to Federal Cartridge Company of Anoka, MN. This also provides justification for such large numbers of ammunition purchases, ie, training. However, in order to be more fiscally sound, the ammunition should be a ball type, or full metal jacket, not a jacketed hollow point, where the cost would be anywhere from two to five times less expensive. To put this in very simple terms: in the 8 years, 5 months, 23 days that have elapsed since the first ammunition order: The question of whether all these ammunition purchases are for an outbreak of civilian riots cannot be answered here. There are too many variables to accurately ascertain the likelihood. Many of those who would fight for the government would place family above duty and thereby weaken the chances of a successful martial law across the fruited plain. In limited areas, yes, martial law could and would be implemented. Those areas unmolested by civil disorder would do best by informing the public to arm themselves for the possibility of malcontents and criminals that may want to stir up trouble. Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive one; it is man and not materials that counts. Mao Tse-tung 1938 This article first appeared at Prepper Podcast Radio Network.

1	The FBI arrested 34 people and seized $157 in small, tasteful presents Monday in what is believed to be the largest bust of a Secret Santa ring in U.S. history. An FBI official holds one of the seized gifts. The ring's base of operations, FBI director Louis Freeh said, was Creative Concepts, a Bloomington-area marketing firm. According to Freeh, all of the ring's participants were employees of Creative Concepts, mostly working in the secretarial pool and mail room, with a few coming from the client-services and accounting departments. 'It took nearly two years to secure sufficient hard evidence and eyewitness testimony, but we feel we have a solid case against them,' said Freeh following the raid. 'We believe that this Secret Santa ring had been operating at Creative Concepts for upwards of 15 years, and that thousands of gifts, from Dilbert coffee mugs to giant Hershey kisses, had been exchanged during that period of time. We are hopeful that the reign of Yuletide graft and corruption that has infested this company for so long has finally come to an end.' Among the items seized in the raid were three Sheaffer ballpoint pens, a bag of Jelly Belly jelly beans, two poinsettia plants, an Indianapolis Colts Christmas-tree ornament, a box of Ferrero Rocher bon bons, a Mannheim Steamroller CD, a 4'x6' silver picture frame, a Mooch The Monkey Beanie Baby, a pair of mittens, a Dorf On Golf video and several items believed to have originated from a mall-based Successories store. Despite the success of Monday's raid, much about Secret Santa operations remains unknown. It is generally accepted by criminologists that Secret Santaism is a seasonal practice taking place exclusively around Christmastime, and involves the exchange of gifts, usually costing no more than $10 each. According to Lester Long, a freelance criminal profiler and analyst, cracking a Secret Santa ring is difficult, because 'the key to Secret Santaism is anonymity.' 'The ring members commence their operations by writing their names on small scraps of paper, then surreptitiously placing the scraps in a hat or a small bucket or tin,' Long said. 'Then, each member quietly draws a single name and does not divulge who this person is to anyone. Nor does this member know who drew out his or her own name. Everyone is sworn to total silence and secrecy. This means participants are able to cover their tracks and protect each other's identity.' Added Long: 'That's why it's so hard to run surveillance on suspected Secret Santa ring members when they go shoppingfor all we know, they could be buying gifts for family members or friends. So possible civil-rights violations come into play. It's ingenious, really.' The Creative Concepts sales office that served as headquarters for the Secret Santa ring. Sorely lacking in circumstantial evidence, law-enforcement officials have come to depend on information from informants and infiltrators planted in suspected Secret Santa rings. Much of what is known about these schemes comes from now-retired FBI agent Clayton 'Hap' Roemer, who, posing as a claims adjustor, infiltrated a Secret Santa ring at a Freehold, NJ, insurance firm in the late 1960s. Roemer detailed his experiences in his 1982 book Santa's Secrets: My Harrowing Undercover Life In The Center Of An Office Yuletide Racket. 'At times, work came to a virtual standstill as people chatted about the items they hoped to get on 'Secret Santa Day,' which normally coincided with the regular, perfectly legal office Christmas party,' Roemer wrote. 'A pair of white gloves for church? A Harold Robbins novel? Anything was possible for a Secret Santa, provided it was under the agreed monetary limit.' Roemer's work resulted in the arrest of 22 people and the eventual dismantling of the Freehold office racket. But despite this and subsequent decades of similar efforts, Secret Santaism still thrives to this day. 'Today's Secret Santa participants are far more savvy than those of Agent Roemer's time,' Long said. 'For example, they've learned not to post gift wish lists on the break-room boardthat's an instant give away that Secret Santa activities are present. They also avoid using intra-office e-mail, which can be read by managerial higher-ups, and they assiduously destroy any evidence of a Secret Santa party, such as gift wrap, Dixie Cups and leftover poundcake.' Crime historians believe Secret Santa rings got their start among the office employees of a storage-and-transfer business in New York's Lower East Side in the late 1950s. From there, it slowly spread, finding its way into businesses throughout New England and the upper Midwest. By the mid-1970s, it had made its way to the burgeoning Sun Belt and the West Coast. The accused members of the Creative Concepts Secret Santa ring are scheduled to appear before a federal magistrate on Jan. 15. They are charged with first-degree racketeering and improper expectation of gifts from professional colleagues. 
1	Fellow scuba divers who witnessed Sam Gemitter's wild gesticulations, inaudible vocal noises, and bulging, wide-open eyes, remained unclear Monday if he was expressing either joy or terror at the sight of something he saw behind a giant coral reef. 'He swam back to us pretty fast, but I didn't know if he was trying to get away from what he saw, or if he wanted us to come see,' snorkeler Brian Celli said. 'He was definitely excited one way or the other.' As of press time, Gemitter had not returned his equipment to the scuba-rental booth, either because he is still enjoying the beauty of the ocean depths or is dead. 
3	Sheriff Urges Citizen Firearm Defense: Were Partners Nowyour safety its no longer a spectator sport; I need you in the game. But are you ready? But are you prepared? Its your duty to protect yourself and your family, he says. He sends both the personal responsibility and power back to the people. Were partners now. Can I count on you? The ad drew sharp flakand calls for resignation from anti-violence groups (so they want to protect criminal violence?), other officials and even Roy Felber, president of the Milwaukee Deputy Sheriffs Association said it sounded like a call to vigilantism. Seriously? When a criminal busts into your home armed to do harm, is protecting your family the same as what Charles Bronson did in Death Wish? Then Felber said: Translation: people should not take responsibility for their own protection, they do not have a right to defend themselves. Calling self-defense the same as taking the law into our own hands doesnt seem logical. Clarke wanted people to know their options; and there is already a Castle Doctrine in Wisconsin that upholds self defense from home, car and business intruders. What seems like common sense to many, the interviews and so-called controversy compelled Clarke to clarify,Im not telling you to Hey, pick up a gun and blast away. People need to know what they are doing if they choose that method to defend themselves. Having to lay off 48 deputies caused him to rethink responsibility and the increasing burden on the countys law enforcement. He wants law enforcement to be seen realistically as help to those who are already taking responsibility for their safety. He says: Im here to do my part, but we have fewer and fewer resources. Were not omnipresent, and we have to stop giving people that impression. The public is his untapped reserve. Other officers claim there are lower crime rates, no layoffs, and they feel that the message makes the public fearful that there is a cop shortage. The mayor wants more money to hire more law enforcement. Even Sheriff Clarkesspokesperson claimed he never promoted buying guns in the ad and said the Department of Homeland Security advises that in an active shooter environment, victims should run, hide, or, if those options dont exist, they should fight aggressively.While opponents claim public fear-rousing, it appears Clarke intended to empower citizens. The ad has also resonated positively with a lot of people maybe thats because of the increasing number of sheriffs stepping up to serve and protect the Constitution and the People. More are reaching out to their local sheriffs to encourage them as our last line of defense against tyranny. Instead of leaving us wondering if we can count on him; Sheriff David Clarke has made the first move reaching out to let us know were partners now can he count on us?

1	Expressing frustration at the frequency with which he is required to guide people through their darkest moments of drug-induced psychosis, Six Flags Great America employee Mark Griffin told reporters Monday that he is sick and tired of talking park visitors down from their bad acid trips. I dont mind working here for the most part, but constantly having to convince paranoid, hallucinating customers that they arent going to die is getting a little old, said Griffin, 31, who reportedly spends a significant portion of his workday comforting Six Flags visitors wracked by the anxiety and terror often brought on by the hallucinogen LSD. Today I had to shut down the Krazy Kups because this tweaker had wriggled out of his seat and was howling at the top of his lungs every time I tried to approach him. It took me nearly an hour to convince him he wouldnt be electrocuted if he took my hand. I have to deal with this shit, like, multiple times a day, Griffin continued. Griffin, who has worked as a ride operator at Six Flags Gurnee location for the past three years, told reporters this week that assisting guests who are suffering from the adverse effects of having dropped blotter acid before entering the park has regrettably become one of the primary functions of his job. In the past 24 hours alone, Griffin says he has had to persuade a pair of panicked Batman: The Ride passengers that the stalled roller coaster wont carry them to hell, as well as convince a teenage girl weeping in the Cold Stone Creamery that she isnt covered in blood. Griffin earns $9.50 per hour. Nowadays, I wait by the park entrance and keep an eye out for anyone laughing maniacally to themselves or staring intently at their fingersat that point, I can already tell Ill be pleading with them to come down from the Looney Tunes character meet-and-greet stage before the days up, said Griffin, pegging the average number of LSD-addled guests he tends to on a given day at anywhere from 10 to 15. And it can be dangerous. Yesterday, I fucked up my back dragging this fully clothed guy out of Monsoon Lagoon before he could drown himself. He kept saying that his twin had escaped and was floating under him, whatever that means. None of this is part of my job description, by the way, Griffin added. And it wasnt mentioned once during orientation. However, the Six Flags staffer admitted that, after having been forced on dozens of occasions to cradle a park guest in his arms while soothingly whispering Im here for hours at a time, he is no longer fazed by the challenges presented by his job, even when he has to scale the steel latticework supporting Dare Devil Dive in order to talk down a delirious visitor convinced that the ground is melting. Its not always a total nightmare, said Griffin, while sweeping up the remains of a stuffed animal torn to shreds by an incoherent, frightened guest. Some days you only have to gently ask a few acid heads to stop stroking the guy in the Scooby costume outside the Scooby Doos Mystery Machine ride. Other days you have to escort a sweaty dancing guy wearing nothing but an Allman Brothers T-shirt away from the Splish Splash Zone and out of the park. Either way, theyre usually harmless, so you just roll up your sleeves and deal with it. And bring a change of clothes, he added, because theres gonna be some vomit.

To be honest, Im just violently mad, and Trumps done a great job of pointing me in the direction of things to wreckalthough, if things change and I end up mercilessly ripping into Trump instead of rabidly backing him, that would be just fine too, said Nashua, NH resident Jeff Waldman, echoing the sentiments of hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters nationwide, each of whom confirmed that they ultimately just wanted to be part of something destructive, whether it was at a pro-Trump rally, an anti-Trump rally, or some other outlet for their bitterness and indignation. Youve got to hand it to the guy for helping me channel my all-consuming rage about my own lot in life into ruthless attacks on immigrant families, women, and the other presidential candidates. But really, theres no reason I couldnt unleash that vicious energy on Trump himself. Either way, I get to yell. Trumps supporters added that, if all else failed, they could always go back to directing their blinding fury at their spouses and children.

Mansur Ball-Bey, a thug in North St. Louis, was recently shot to death after resisting arrest and pulling a stolen gun on police officers. Jamyla Bolden of Ferguson, on the other hand, was shot while studying on her bed. Who do you think they protested for? Hubbard asks the camera. The thug because they are hollering police brutality. Police brutality? How about black brutality? You are the f***ing most violent mother****ers I have ever seen in my lifeYou say Black Lives Matter? Her life mattered. Her dreams mattered.

2	Obamacare Is A Disaster Collapsing All Over America... And Now There Is Fraud [SEE DETAILS] Conservatives warned the American public about Obamacare and the devastating impacts that it could bring on our healthcare system. Unfortunately, those fears are now coming to fruition. Recently, Colorado made headlines when the largest nonprofit health insurer in the state, Colorado HealthOP, should down. Nearly 80,000 Americans living in the state were forced to find new insurance for next year. At first, it appeared that the company had been decertified by the Division of Insurance as an eligible insurance company. It appeared that the cooperative relied on federal support, and last month federal authorities claimed that they would not be able to pay what they owed. Essentially, the program failed just because the government was unable to subsidize it. Lets keep in mind that this same government spends more than $35 billion in global economic aid. Now, were learning that New Yorks Health Republic Insurance, the absolute largest of the nonprofit co-ops created under the Affordable Care Act is closing and has been caught engaging in fraud. What do you think? Is this just further proof of Obamas failure as a president?

There are no foolproof approaches to the coming disaster, but I am going to cover what I am going to do in preparation for possible negative outcomes from events such as the Grid Ex II simulated power grid take-down drill.

However, as I have discovered, the government has indeed planned for such an eventuality. In August of 2009, I attended a Congressman Trent Franks Town Hall Meeting at the Community Church of Joy in Glendale, AZ. Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ) produced a video which hypothesized that if terrorists were to detonate two nuclear weapons above the mid-continent United States, the resulting EMP attack would wipe out all electronics. The resulting projections estimate that 90% of the American people would be dead within two years. From this presentation, I created a hypothetical simulation game which recreates a major catastrophe and then poses critical questions, based upon several scenarios to the immediate threats to individual survival. In the four years that I have used this game as a teaching tool, which illustrates the fragility of society, I have formed some conclusions about some of the principles which can serve to enhance survival following a disaster, particularly in the critical first 72 hours. What If the Economy Is Collapsed in the Midst of a Blackout? Congressman Franks Congressional military appropriations video also estimated that a 50% mortality rate would occur in the event of a total economic breakdown without an EMP attack. If civil war accompanies an economic breakdown, the casualty estimates would be impossible to gauge. Either way, the odds are stacked against survival. Preparation does not guarantee survival, but if one does not prepare, one is sealing their own fate. And most of all, do not forget your spirituality; you may need a miracle in the days ahead. If society experiences a meltdown, the odds for survival are not good for the masses. Foretelling Isnt it interesting that the TV series, Revolution, has so accurately depicted the bedlam that would follow a catastrophic loss of power. The biggest threats to survival will be a lack of food and water, roving gangsters in search of resources, disease resulting from a lack of sanitation, trying to escape the war zones of Americas inner cities, having enough life-saving medication, surviving disease resulting from a lack of sanitation and on and on and on. Water Most people can survive for a number of weeks without food, but without water you will die in just a few days. Subsequently, where would you procure water if your taps run dry? If you do not have a plan, this would most likely be the probable cause of your death. Do you have an abundant supply of clean water near your home? Do you have the ability to boil water if you needed to purify it (i.e. a supply of matches, the ability to make fire to boil water)? Gathering water is your number one concern. Do you have a swimming pool? If you are one of the few that has a swimming pool, you need to be able to defend the water because your house will be a target. Water purification tablets are also critical because the water you have access to in a crisis, may not be suitable for drinking. So you may find that water purification tablets and a water filter will prove immeasurably important. Food Most families could not last longer than a month on what they have in their house right now. When the economic collapse comes, how long could you survive on what you have? You need to start growing food right now. Having your own garden, both in and out of your house is critically important, for if you dont, when your family runs out of food, you will suddenly find yourselves competing with the desperate mobs of hungry people who are looting the stores in the first 24 hours and then roaming the streets, within the first 72 hours, looking for victims in order to steal their food. Begin to store food, now! Store seeds and plants, now. Seeds will be the first item to disappear. So, begin to gather them, right now. Of course, if you are hungry, the government would be happy to take you to a safe refuge, a detention camp. The question is, will you come out alive? Sanitation Sanitation is often a forgotten item. However, it could quickly become one of you most immediate and deadly threats. In the Third World, the leading cause of death is typically dysentery as water mixes with sewage. In cities, sewers and subsequently toilets will be backing up. If one does not bury excrement properly this too can lead to serious diseases. You will need portable toilets, lots of toilet paper, and bleach to scrub clean the messes. In major cities, trash disposal will become a major problem as well. It will attract dangerous animals. The disease component will expand exponentially after a week. In these cases, trash should be burned. A pit needs to be prepared and you must have a large supply of wood and matches. Medicines and Medical Supplies This may be the most difficult aspect of preparation because a lot of life-saving medication (e.g. diabetes, heart pills, asthma inhalers, etc.) are controlled by prescription. First, one should immediately learn about natural remedies and stock up on these products. Secondly, if you can take a tiny bit less of your meds today, without endangering yourself, begin doing so. Ignore the expiration on your medication labels. Medications far outlast the posted dates as Big Pharma wants you to keep coming back. Finally, consider a series of smuggling shopping sprees to Mexico or to Canada. Empty out old pill bottles and fill them with over the counter medications that you can purchase with medication that matches the labels on the pill boxes. I do not believe that most immigration officials are going to challenge something so trivial that appears to be legitimate. Of course, you will have to be judicious in the amount you smuggle back. Keep in mind it is a crime to bring back foreign medication to our country. Oh, I forgot to mention that America is the only country in the world which does not allow its citizens to purchase foreign drugs. Isnt it nice that your government does such a good job of protecting Big Pharmas monopoly while endangering your health? Bugging Out If you are convinced as I am that the collapse is on the near horizon, you should have a bug out location outside of a major metropolitan area and once you see the signs, dont wait to act, go right away. You will not have 72 hours to get where you are going. And your bug out location must be well within a tank of gas. Before you go, you better have a bug out bag. It is possible that you may have to flee your home in order to stay alive. Surviving the first three days in these cases is the first critical challenge. Prepare a bug out bag for each family member and store it in an accessible place. Some of the items in the bug out bag should contain are sleeping bags, night vision binoculars (available online for $200) flashlights with extra batteries, guns and ammo, knives, forks, spoons, weather appropriate clothing, toiletries, change of underwear and other clothes, bottled water, snacks, water purification device and tablets, small pot for boiling water, backpacker mini-cook stove with fuel, towel, ability to make fire, flashlight with extra batteries, a first aid kit and medication, small long-range walkie-talkies, fishing lines, small fishing hooks, a compass, and your critical papers (ID, birth certificates and bank account books and bank statements. If you cannot get out of the city, you need to give your home a ransacked look and feel. Throw old clothes and wrappers along with dresser drawers out on the front lawn. Barricade your doors. If you can afford it, by special awnings, now, to go over your windows to prevent easy access. Install security doors. Make your place unattractive to the quick score. If you are departing the city, stay off the main roads as much as possible. Try and network and travel in a caravan if possible. Highways will become death traps as they will be targeted by bad guys, many of whom will don military and police uniforms in order lure in unsuspecting people. To a starving and thirsty gang, there is not a better target than a passenger vehicle, a truck or better yet, and RV loaded down with stored food and ammunition and stopped in gridlock on a highway trying to exit the city. Military strategy documents all advise that when governments fail, roads are to be avoided at all costs. If you are in your normal 8-5 work routine, have a preset place to meet your family. Make sure you coach your children that under no circumstances are they get on a school bus that will take them to safety. Schools across America annually practice bus evacuation drills. The problem that I have with these drills is that they never tell the public, or even school authorities what kind of places they will take your children. In a major 2011 Denver disaster drill, called Operation Mountain Guardian, the minions of FEMA took busloads of children, without proper parental notification, to Sports Authority Field field, where the Denver Broncos play football. Does anyone remember the Louisiana Superdome after Hurricane Katrina? And of course, the bus could always head to a detention camp as well. Coach your children on how to drop out of the line to the bus and where to hide until you can come and get your child. You should practice reuniting both in a vehicle and on foot. Keep a bug out survival bag in your car. Paranoid? Look at the economic numbers that I listed at the top of this article and ask yourself: paranoid, or prepared? Conclusion Have you heard about the rumor which says that the globalists must first tell humanity before they are ready to do something nefarious? Maybe that rumor is true. On October 27 at 8 pm, the National Geographic Channel is running a two-hour documentary on what would happen if the lights went out for 10 days. This article, by no means, is meant to represent an exhaustive list for survival needs. This article only represents what I would do, and I am hoping to prompt some much needed discussion in this critical area of self-sufficiency because Americans are woefully unprepared.

3	Monsanto Threatens Argentina Over Recent Food Inspection DecisionBy Brandon Turbeville After a dispute between Monsanto and Argentina regarding the inspection of genetically modified soybeans, Monsanto has now announced that it intends to suspend future soybean technologies in Argentina. Monsantos move will leave many Argentine farmers who used the companys biotech products without the new Xtend technology scheduled to be deployed in Argentina allegedly aimed at increasing soy yields as well as controlling glyphosate-resistant, broad-leaf weeds, another problem created by Monsanto itself. The dispute centered around the fact that Monsanto was demanding that private exporting companies act as inspectors to ensure that agricultural products trademarked to the company (although even this is disputed by farmers) were not being sold. The Argentine government ruled that only the government had the authority to act as a food inspector. Monsanto said it was disappointed in the manner in which the direction the dispute has taken and that the company plans to take measures to protect its current assets and will suspend launching any future soybean technologies in the country. Soybeans are Argentinas main cash crop and the country is the number one exporter of soy mill livestock feed. Unfortunately Argentina farmers now rely heavily on Monsanto to produce those soybeans. Thus, the move by the corporation has sent many Argentinian farmers into panic mode. Ultimately, Monsanto is one corporation who would be doing the world a favor by taking its ball and going home. Decades of environmental destruction, chronic health conditions and death all direct results of Monsanto and its products have left the company in a situation where it is hard-pressed to show one positive thing it has ever done for mankind. Indeed, it seems almost impossible for Monsanto to show one product that was at least not harmful. Clearly, if the Argentine government does not back down from the multi-national bully, and does not take immediate and radical action, Monsanto will continue to hold its technology over the head of both the government and the people. Yet buckling to Monsanto and accepting the companys required tribute as well as the preponderance of GMO food in Argentina should not be an option. Regardless of the consequences of resisting Monsanto in the short term, they will far outweigh the consequences of knuckling under in the long term. As the worlds third largest exporter of raw soybeans, Argentina must respond by informing Monsanto that the corporation is in no position to bargain. The Argentine government must immediately prepare a program to rescue small farmers and deal accordingly with larger ones. Argentina must then begin to move forward on the transition from a GM-dependent form of agriculture to traditional production complete with a ban on open-air GMO cultivation for non-scientific purposes. The Argentinian government must begin to use all of its resources to initiate a transitioning process from Monsantos GM soybeans to traditional methods of production. If Monsanto resists it should be reminded that it is the prerogative of national governments to seize foreign entities when national security is at stake. Certainly, the Argentinian food supply and its number one agricultural food export would fall under this category. It is time for Argentina to reassert its national sovereignty and provide its people and the rest of the world with what they both truly desire: clean food that is not beholden to vulturistic corporations.

The AI topic which concentrates between computer sciences, nano-medicine, neuro-science and automation and robotics, is VERY REAL in my opini Argentina ought to kick Monsanto out of their country, just like America ought to do! They are poisoning everything they touch. when Russia and Hungary tore up all the toxic produce of Monsanto from their lands, they became one of the biggest exporters of top quality food products in the world, and they are now becoming an example to the rest of the world. the MONSANTO PLAN TO DESTROY THE WORLD BY POISONOUS TOXINS IS OVER, so go home AMERICA and eat your own crap. Food another weapon of the unholy ones. Take yer vaccines and eat yer gmo kiddies. 
1	A report released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center found that after more than four years of financial hardship, a majority of Americans now feel more at ease living in a failing economy than they would in a thriving one. The report concluded that the constant threat of a second recession, record joblessness, ever-rising health care costs, and a soaring national debt, while devastating, have come to be the only things citizens know they can truly count on in these bleak and unstable times. 'To be honest, without the specter of defaulting on my mortgage looming over my head, something would just feel off,' said Louisville, KY resident Dale Bowman, one of thousands polled for the study. 'Call me a creature of habit, but I'm just accustomed to waking up knowing our unemployment rate is over 9 percent, there's nothing I can do about it, and it'll be a very long time before we can ever hope to pull out of this.' A majority of survey respondents preferred to coast comfortably along through a failed financial system. 'Even if I did somehow make enough money to keep my head above water, I haven't the slightest clue what I'd do with it anymore,' Bowman added. According to the survey, 63 percent of Americans said they had come to rely upon the familiar sense of dread that came from knowing the country was quickly losing its place as an economic superpower, while 71 percent described finding a kind of tranquility in the steady, predictable cuts to local, state, and federal funding. In addition, 80 percent reported they had been tightening their belts for so long, the thought of loosening them again after all this time just felt unnatural. 'You get used to sending 50 resums into the void each day and having them all go unanswered,' said Mary-Lee Jones, 46, of Cleveland, who later called the enduring unlikelihood of ever finding employment 'her rock.' 'The emotional trauma of not knowing if or when I'll work again has just become a regular part of my life. Honestly, not living on the knife's edge of poverty might make me a little anxious.' The report also found that many take comfort in the dependable stream of ominous fiscal predictions in the media, particularly in seeing, on a regular basis, the weary face of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on the cover of major newspapers, accompanied by giant bold letters announcing the dollar's latest slide. 'Even if the economy did start to make a miraculous recovery, all that would happen is I'd get my hopes up and then, boom, it would collapse again like it always does,' Phoenix-area carpet salesman Mike Nicolette said. 'At least now I'm fully aware that the shitty hand I've been dealt isn't going to change for a while. It's something I can count on, you know?' 'My children have never seen America in good financial times,' Nicolette added. 'An upswing now would probably just confuse them, frankly.' Faced not only with temporary hardship but also the possibility of a fundamentally broken economic system, Stan McGrath of Houston told reporters he was beginning to think long-term. 'A lifetime of barely getting by would be something stable, at least,' said McGrath, a 38-year-old Wal-Mart cashier. 'If nothing else, I wouldn't have to keep myself up at night worrying about whether the American dream had totally abandoned me.' 'That'd be such a relief,' he added. 
2	Monica Lewinsky Sticks Knife Right In Hillarys Campaign And Bleeds Her Dry With One Devastating Public Statement Hillary Clinton has tiptoed around her husbands sexual exploits throughout her entire campaigns, but to no avail. Now, Monica Lewinsky, the intern who famously had relations with her husband, is speaking out. An emotional clip of Lewinsky delivering her side of the story has gone viral this week. The footage describes clearly just how damaging the Clintons can be. I was Patient Zero of losing a personal reputation on a global scale almost instantaneously, Lewinsky commented. The release comes after former Secret Service agent Gary S. Byrne claimed he stood outside the door of the Oval Office while then-President Bill Clinton had sex with numerous women, including Eleanor Mondale, daughter of former President Walter Mondale. I stood guard, a pistol at my hip, outside of the Oval Office, the last barrier before anyone saw Bill Clinton, Byrne noted in his tell-all book. The last barrier before Monica Lewinsky saw Bill Clinton. Yes, Im that Secret Service officer. Byrne also describes the occasion in which Lewinsky arrived at the White House while Bill was engaged in sexual relations with Mondale. The agents attempted to keep Lewinsky in the dark, but their efforts failed. She pressed the officer about the delay and wanted to know why she was left standing in his security booth, Byrne recalls, before claiming the officer told Lewinsky Clinton was with his other piece of a**. Whats he want with her when he has this? Lewinsky fired back. What do you think? Do the Clintons need to be kept far away from the White House? 
3	Researchers Conclude Wireless Radiation Causes Cancer After Latest Scientific Findingsselfnews Post The National Association for Children and Safe Technology (NACST) is taking action after two recently published studies indicate there is sufficient evidence demonstrating exposure to wireless radiation, also known as RF-EMF, causes cancer. Wireless routers and devices such as tablets, laptops, baby monitors and cell phones all emit this type of radiation. The State of the Science: The Debate is Over Professor of Oncology Lennart Hardell, MD, PhD, and Statistician Michael Carlberg of Orebro University Hospital, Sweden found a 3-fold risk with 25 or more years of cell and cordless phone use in a study published October 2014 in Pathophysiology. Very significant was the finding that people who first used mobile or cordless phones before the age of 20 had the highest risk. Increased wireless phone use also correlated with lower survival rates for people diagnosed with the most malignant gliomas in a second study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health by the same researchers. Hardell and Carlberg stated, Due to the relationship with survival, the classification is strengthened. In both studies, the authors state that RF-EMF should be regarded as a human carcinogen, requiring urgent revision of current exposure guidelines. These two studies followed the July 2014 Occupational and Environmental Medicine Journal publication of the CERENAT case controlled study where French researchers found almost a 3-fold increase in brain cancer with 896 or more hours of lifetime cell phone use. Based on the accumulation of research demonstrating the health effects from wireless radiation, Professor Olle Johansson of the Karolinska Department of Neuroscience has stated, the debate is over on wireless. Given the established and emerging science, it only follows that students be provided a safe learning environment, free from wireless radiation, stated an NACST spokesperson. Scientists Call for the World Health Organization to Reclassify RF-EMF In 2011, the WHOs International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified RF radiation as a Class 2B, possible human carcinogen. Since 2011, several of the World Health Organization invited scientists have called for a reclassification to an increased risk level. The abstracts of these 2014 studies state that RF should now be regarded as a Group 1 Human Carcinogen, placing it in the same category as tobacco, asbestos and benzene. NACSTs Turn It Off 4 Kids Initiative In light of these recent scientific publications and expert warnings, NACST is reaching out to health organizations asking them to prioritize the issue of childrens health and wireless exposures in educational settings for 2015 in the following ways: 1. Call for all new school technology to be hardwired. Expert Endorsements NASCTs Initiative has been endorsed by several prominent scientists, physicians and safety advocates including Drs. Lennart Hardell, Olle Johansson, Anthony Miller and Dariusz Leszczynski. Dr. Leszczynski was a participating scientist in the WHO IARC panel on RF-EMF and cancer, and Dr. Miller has served as Director of the Epidemiology Unit, National Cancer Institute of Canada, Toronto. Details on NACSTs Turn It Off 4 Kids Initiative, including endorsements, are here: http://www.nacst.org/nacst-turn-it-off-4-kids.html About NACST The National Association for Children and Safe Technology is dedicated to raising awareness about the health impacts of wireless radiation on children as well as advancing policies that safeguard childrens health and well being.

He also criticized Obama for referring to Irans Ayatollah Khamenei as Supreme Leader. He called him the Supreme Leader: Yes, today we talked to the Supreme Leader, Trump recalled. Im never calling him the Supreme Leader. Believe me. When I meet him, Ill say, Hey, how you doing? Trump argued that Obamas deal with Iran is not going to be successful in stopping the terror nation from obtaining a weapon of mass destruction. Theyre going to have nuclear weapons within 10 years, after 10 years its a guarantee, Trump claimed. Israel is really in trouble. I will tell you. Israel is not in trouble if I win.

3	21 Facts About NSA Snooping That Every American Should KnowMichael Snyder So it would be unrealistic to expect them to come out and tell us the unvarnished truth about what is going on. That is why it is so important that whistleblowers such as Edward Snowden have come forward. Thanks to them and to the brave journalists that are willing to look into these things, we have been able to get some glimpses behind the curtain. And what we have learned is not very pretty. The following are 21 facts about NSA snooping that every American should know #1 According to CNET, the NSA told Congress during a recent classified briefing that it does not need court authorization to listen to domestic phone calls Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat, disclosed on Thursday that during a secret briefing to members of Congress, he was told that the contents of a phone call could be accessed simply based on an analyst deciding that. If the NSA wants to listen to the phone, an analysts decision is sufficient, without any other legal authorization required, Nadler said he learned. I was rather startled, said Nadler, an attorney and congressman who serves on the House Judiciary committee. #2 According to U.S. Representative Loretta Sanchez, members of Congress learned significantly more than what is out in the media today about NSA snooping during that classified briefing. BURNETT: Tim, is there any way, obviously, there is a voice mail they can try to get the phone companies to give that up at this point. Its not a voice mail. Its just a conversation. Theres no way they actually can find out what happened, right, unless she tells them? CLEMENTE: No, there is a way. We certainly have ways in national security investigations to find out exactly what was said in that conversation. Its not necessarily something that the FBI is going to want to present in court, but it may help lead the investigation and/or lead to questioning of her. We certainly can find that out. BURNETT: So they can actually get that? People are saying, look, that is incredible. CLEMENTE: No, welcome to America. All of that stuff is being captured as we speak whether we know it or like it or not. #4 The chief technology officer at the CIA, Gus Hunt, made the following statement back in March We fundamentally try to collect everything and hang onto it forever. #5 During a Senate Judiciary Oversight Committee hearing in March 2011, FBI Director Robert Mueller admitted that the intelligence community has the ability to access emails as they come in We put in place technological improvements relating to the capabilities of a database to pull together past emails and future ones as they come in so that it does not require an individualized search. #6 Back in 2007, Director of National Intelligence Michael McConnell told Congress that the president has the constitutional authority to authorize domestic spying without warrants no matter when the law says. #7 The Director Of National Intelligence James Clapper recently told Congress that the NSA was not collecting any information about American citizens. When the media confronted him about his lie, he explained that he responded in what I thought was the most truthful, or least untruthful manner. #8 The Washington Post is reporting that the NSA has four primary data collection systems Two of the four collection programs, one each for telephony and the Internet, process trillions of metadata records for storage and analysis in systems called MAINWAY and MARINA, respectively. Metadata includes highly revealing information about the times, places, devices and participants in electronic communication, but not its contents. The bulk collection of telephone call records from Verizon Business Services, disclosed this month by the British newspaper the Guardian, is one source of raw intelligence for MAINWAY. The other two types of collection, which operate on a much smaller scale, are aimed at content. One of them intercepts telephone calls and routes the spoken words to a system called NUCLEON. For Internet content, the most important source collection is the PRISM project reported on June 6 by The Washington Post and the Guardian. It draws from data held by Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and other Silicon Valley giants, collectively the richest depositories of personal information in history. #9 The NSA knows pretty much everything that you are doing on the Internet. The following is a short excerpt from a recent Yahoo article #10 The NSA is supposed to be prohibited from spying on the Internet activity of American citizens, but it is doing it anyway Despite that prohibition, shortly after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, President George W. Bush secretly authorized the NSA to plug into the fiber optic cables that enter and leave the United States, knowing it would give the government unprecedented, warrantless access to Americans private conversations. Tapping into those cables allows the NSA access to monitor emails, telephone calls, video chats, websites, bank transactions and more. It takes powerful computers to decrypt, store and analyze all this information, but the information is all there, zipping by at the speed of light. You have to assume everything is being collected, said Bruce Schneier, who has been studying and writing about cryptography and computer security for two decades. #11 It has been estimated that the NSA gathers 2.1 million gigabytes of data on all of us every single hour of every single day. #12 In addition to collecting data on their own, a recent Bloomberg article claims that thousands of firms are giving your personal information directly to the NSA. #13 Companies that share their data with the NSA are exempt from prosecution due to a law that Congress passed back in 2008 ATT and other telecommunications companies that allow the NSA to tap into their fiber links receive absolute immunity from civil liability or criminal prosecution, thanks to a law that Congress enacted in 2008 and renewed in 2012. Its a series of amendments to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, also known as the FISA Amendments Act. #14 The NSA is constructing the largest data center in the world out in Utah. It is going to have about a million square feet of storage space, it is going to cost about 2 billion dollars to build, and it is going to take about 40 million dollars a year just to pay for the energy needed to run the facility. It is also being reported that it will have the capability of storing 5 zettabytes of data. #15 The NSA has a budget of about 10 billion dollars a year. #16 Overall, the United States government spends more than 80 billion dollars a year on intelligence programs. #17 According to NSA whistleblower William Binney, the NSA has a target list of somewhere between 500,000 to a million people. #18 Binney also claims that the NSA has the capability to do individualized searches, similar to Google, for particular electronic communications in real time through such criteria as target addresses, locations, countries and phone numbers, as well as watch-listed names, keywords, and phrases in email. #19 According to a recent Rasmussen survey, 57 percent of all Americans believe that the government will use the information that it collects to harass political opponents. #20 Benjamin Franklin once wrote the following They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. #21 This is what the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

3	NYPD conducting multiple gas-attack tests in subway systemPaul Lawrance Running on a $3.4 million Department of Homeland Security Transit Security Grant, officials will dispersePerfluorocarbon tracer gases through subway tunnels across the city. Odorless and colorless, the gas will mimic how a chemical or biological weapon would react if released. Perfluorocarbons are usually reserved for finding leaks in hazardous waste containment systems. A news release on the test reads: largest urban airflow study ever to better understand the risks posed by airborne contaminants, including chemical, biological and radiological (CBR) weapons as they are dispersed in the atmosphere and in the Citys subway system. There will be approximately 200 sampling devices deployed during this study. During the study, researchers will disperse low concentrations of harmless gases known as perfluorocarbons at select subway and street-level locations over three, non-consecutive days in July. Weather conditions will determine which days are selected for the tests, and will be announced to the public a day in advance. The research will be conducted during daylight hours in parts of the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and in Manhattan from 59th Street to the Battery. This field study with Brookhavens outstanding expertise will help prepare and safeguard the citys population in the event of an actual attack. This will not be the first test of its kind. In 1966 a team of army researchers dropped light bulbs loaded with what they regarded as harmless bacteria onto NY subway tracks and into its ventilation system without notifying the public. A similar test to the one being conducted in July also took place in 2005 in several locations in Midtown NY. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	Obama Is FURIOUS U.S. Pilots Take THIS Massive Stand Against Him Well, this is just outrageous. According to recent reports, a group of U.S. military pilots who have just returned from fighting the Islamic State in Iraq claim that they were blocked from taking down 75% of their terror targets because they could not get clearance to launch a strike. The men and women in uniform claim that strikes against ISIS are often blocked by Obamas policy to prevent civilian deaths and collateral damage. Now, the policy has come under fire, as officials believe that it is allowing ISIS militants to gain strength across Iraq. It is now a hot topic among former military leaders. What do you think? Are you sick of Obama stopping the United States from taking action against terrorists? 
2	School Pays BIG TIME For Refusing This Girls ProA school in Nevada refused to let their student start a Pro-life club. When she brought her lawyer into the matter, things took a huge turn.

She eventually got the school to allow her club, as well as pay her $30,000 to run it. This is her First Amendment right to take part in this club. This is a huge victory for pro-life. Many students have already signed up for the club, and this story is making its rounds across the U.S. Do you support pro-life? 
3	Better police surveillance technologies come with a cost, scholar saysselfnews Post The widespread use of advanced surveillance technologies such as automatic license plate readers, surveillance cameras, red light cameras and facial recognition software by state and local police departments combined with a lack of oversight and regulation have the potential to develop into a form of widespread community surveillance, which ought to pose significant privacy concerns to law-abiding citizens, warns Stephen Rushin, a professor of law at Illinois. Whats worrisome to me is that the technologies could be harnessed to monitor not just one person, but an entire community, he said. For example, if police departments use license plate readers in concert with an extensive network of surveillance cameras, that means that they really do have the ability to monitor everyone all of the time. Legally speaking, thats troubling. In 1997, about 20 percent of police departments in the U.S. used some type of technological surveillance. By 2007, that number had risen to more than 70 percent of departments, according to a paper Rushin wrote that will be published next month in the Brooklyn Law Review. While much of the attention on surveillance in the media focuses on the National Security Agency, theres not a lot of scrutiny on local domestic surveillance, Rushin said. I think thats because its mostly local law enforcement thats undertaking this type of surveillance, and we dont tend to think of our local police force as being particularly scary, intimidating or worrisome, he said. While technologies that give the state an extrasensory ability may violate an individuals reasonable expectation of privacy, technologies that merely improve the efficiency of otherwise permissible investigation techniques are presumptively permissible, Rushin said. Much of the Supreme Courts previous treatment of police surveillance has rested on the belief that individuals have no expectation of privacy in public places, and that surveillance technologies that merely improve the efficiency of police investigations comport with the Fourth Amendment, he said. While officers must obtain a warrant before using some technologies, the courts generally do not regulate efficiency-enhancing technologies. Those assumptions have been workable in the past because of the limited use and capability of efficiency-enhancing technologies. But with the advent of automatic license plate readers and surveillance cameras with biometric recognition, the efficiency of the surveillance itself is becoming a constitutional issue, Rushin said. Since no one has a reasonable expectation of privacy when theyre in public, that means that a police officer can do whatever a normal person can do without any kind of special approval, he said. They can observe your license plate and write it down on a piece of paper and run it through a database. But now they could also use an automatic reader to scan license plates in bulk up to 1,800 license plates per minute, in fact. That will invariably vacuum up enormous amounts of data on innocent people, too. So you have technology that might replace the efforts of dozens, even hundreds, of individual law enforcement officers. In the absence of regulation, police departments across the country have developed dramatically different policies on the use of public surveillance technologies. Data retention policies vary dramatically from one place to the other, and many local departments dont have any policies whatsoever, Rushin said. In fairness to law enforcement, part of that is because many smaller departments dont have many surveillance cameras or other devices. But thats changing. The rate at which theyre adopting and utilizing these technologies isnt matching the rate at which theyre adopting retention policies to regulate those new technological devices. What that means is that local police departments have been using surveillance technologies to retain more and more locational data without establishing policies on retention and data integrity. According to Rushin, legislative bodies must take the lead and limit the retention, identification, access and sharing of data acquired by digitally efficient public surveillance technologies. The paper also makes recommendations for ways that states could start to regulate the retention and integrity of surveillance data obtained by law enforcement surveillance technology. It proposes a model state statute that would be a substantial step in reigning in the unregulated efficiency of emerging investigative and surveillance technologies, Rushin said. The model statute addresses some very core information privacy issues, so its no different than in any other field where youre concerned about the second-hand use of data, or the abuse of data, he said. It means establishing basic conditions on who can access the data. It would also give a police department discretion to craft unique data policies tailored to its communitys specific needs, while also encouraging some level of statewide consistency. 
1	The National Hockey League announced Thursday that it had finished freezing an estimated 480,000 gallons of water, ensuring that every opening game of the 2010-2011 season would be played completely on ice. Ice-making factories have reportedly been working around the clock for the better part of a month, and dozens of insulated trucks were employed to transport the slabs of frozen water to all 30 professional hockey arenas, some of which are located as far south as Los Angeles, CA or Sunrise, FL. 'We learned our lesson last year,' NHL commissioner Gary Bettman told reporters. 'We started freezing water a week before the season, and by the opening face-off only eight arenas had ice. It was embarrassing because not only did we not deliver as an organization, but you really need to play hockey on water that is frozen.' 'We also now completely understandand agreethat all parts of the rink have to be covered with ice,' Bettman added. 'Even the parts behind the nets.' A shortage of frozen water on hockey rinks in the beginnings of previous seasons meant that players were forced to adapt to less than ideal conditions, skating on whatever frozen water was available and then trudging clumsily over the exposed dirt or wooden floors. Historically, teams have not been pleased with having to play hockey on mixed surfaces, complaining that injury would often result when someone tried to retrieve a puck that had fallen into gaps in the corners of the rink where ice was not present. The last time the NHL froze enough water to completely fill all the rinks with ice by the opening of the season was 1972. 'As hockey players, we prefer to play on water that's been frozen expressly for the purpose of playing hockey,' said Phoenix Coyotes captain Shane Doan, who watched as NHL technicians lowered a 200-foot-long, 80-foot-wide slab of ice onto the playing surface of Jobing.com Arena. 'Ideally, there should be ice in the middle of the rink, right where you leave the locker room tunnel, in front of the benches. Pretty much everywhere, really.' Continued Doan, 'We wear special skates for the purpose of locomotion on a sheet of frozen water, after all.' In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of past seasons, representatives of the NHL Players' Association contacted the league in August to be certain that sufficient water was being frozen for the season's opening. In addition, Commissioner Bettman hired Mindy Donegan in the offseason to act as Senior Vice President of Frozen Water Oversight. Donegan's main job was to work as a liaison between arena managers and frozen-water providers, thereby ensuring all arenas had ice by opening night. 'Working with Mindy was great because, well, look at that perfect, rink-shaped sheet of ice out there,' Rangers facility manager Phil Hesselbein said. 'Last couple seasons at Madison Square Garden, we were scrambling to cover the floor. We gave fans $5 off ticket prices if they brought a bag or tray of ice from home, and even the players were going to liquor and grocery stores to get some.' 'A lot of it was in cube form, or even cylinders with a hole through the middle, so it wasn't smooth to skate on,' Rangers captain Chris Drury said. 'But it was better than nothing.' NHL officials told reporters they were pleased with their efforts this season, citing the fact that all hockey games thus far have been played on ice. 'This is certainly a new era in the NHL,' a press release from the league read in part. 'We'd like to thank the players for being patient during the preseason and extend particular gratitude to the NBA for allowing us to play exhibition games on their courts in our stocking feet.' When asked if the league had a plan to solve the age-old problem of the frozen water thawing and becoming liquid by the third game of the season, Commissioner Bettman said investigations were continuing. 
1	PAMPLONA, SPAINFollowing a series of brutal attacks, Spanish Prime Minister Jos Luis Zapatero pledged Monday that he 'will not rest until Spain is free of rampaging bulls.' Zapatero introduces his agenda in the fight against Spain's vicious enemy (below). 'Bulls are ruthless animals that run our young men down in the streets without regard for guilt or innocence,' Zapatero said. 'Doggedly pursuing their agenda of destruction, they are deaf to pleas for mercy, and they care nothing about the suffering they cause as they rout and trample novillero, picador, and matador alike.' Zapatero said the government has no estimate of the number of bulls currently living in Spain, due to the animals' stealthy nature. 'The beasts hide in the nation's pastures, quietly ruminating over their vicious agendas,' Zapatero said. 'They often lie dormant for years, posing as innocent calves until they expose themselves as the brutes they are. Then, they attack in arenas, when the crowds are at their maximum capacity, in order to incite fear and shock among the citizenry.' Spain Vows Eternal Vigilance In War On Bulls 'We can no longer sit and watch as the bulls gore our brave young men to death,' Zapatero added. 'To those who say this problem is too widespread for the Spanish government to tackle, I say 'Toro!'' Zapatero has established a cabinet-level Department of Bovine Security and a color-coded system that will alert the general public to the likelihood of an animal rampage. A green flag waved by the president indicates a low risk of bull attack. Magenta and gold capes, when worn by footmen, peones, or capeadores, indicate an elevated threat level. A colorful ring of banderilla around the bull's neck indicates a high threat level. In the case of a severe threat, a red flag is waved, and a bull attack is imminent. 'We can't afford to lose the war on bulls,' Zapatero said. 'When bulls unleash their brand of chaos, they leave massive destruction in their paths, as the tragic events of July 7 in Pamplona have proven time and again for the last 400 years.' Some Spanish citizens allege that the government's efforts to stop bull attacks are creating anti-bovine sentiment among the citizenry, and several watchdog organizations have been created to protect the rights of cows. 'Violent bulls represent a small minority of all ruminants,' Bovine Rights Now representative Adora Moreno said. 'Most cows are docile herbivores with no desire to harm a living soul. They are productive members of society, providing us with milk, meat, and leather goods. They should be granted the same dignity we afford other species.' Zapatero said that, while some citizens expressed displeasure with the additional security checkpoints in public and private pastures across the nation, the precautions are 'an unfortunate necessity in these troubled times.' Bulls terrorize citizens in the streets of Pamplona. The Spanish government has earmarked funds for 10,000 new matadors, as well as gates, pink stockings, and embroidered jackets. 'Our matadors wish to ensure the safety of the Spanish people and tourists alike,' Zapatero said. 'These bulls may gracefully dodge the swords and spears of justice, but our men will not back down. They shall engage the bulls with intricate goading, ritualized mockery, and the hypnotic waving of streamers. They will not stop posing in their sequined suits until every bull is removed from the arena, and every torero is free from fear of tossing, trampling, and goring.' Added Zapatero: 'We are men. Under no condition will we accede to the whims of the bull.' Military officials have been careful to state that it could take years or even decades to eradicate the menace of the bulls. They plan to enlist the help of other nations in the fight, by recruiting bullfighting specialists from Mexico and Argentina. 'This will be a long, hard war, but we will win, through vigilance and determination,' Spanish Defense Minister Jose Bono said. 'We will arm ourselves with the banderilla of readiness and muleta of vigilance. There will be no mercy for the bull. We will find them wherever they hide, and we will round them up and contain them in pens. Viva toreros and viva Espaa!' 
3	Colombians Successfully Revolt Against Seed Control and Agricultural TyrannyDylan Charles Early in September, 2013, the Colombian government was forced to partially concede to the demands of a nationwide general strike instigated by farmers of the largely agrarian nation. The three-week-long protests and blockades that shut down much of the nation were supported by thousands of miners, truckers, students, bus drivers, and Colombian citizens, blocking roads and clashing with police. Close to 650 arrests were made, 485 injuries were reported, 12 people killed, and over 600 cases of human rights violations reported. Coverage of the nationwide protests feature rural peoples and urban demonstrators in the typical contest against body-armor clad, state riot police armed with gas, rubber bullets, flash-bang grenades and batons, beating people and dispersing women and children in clouds of smoke. The popular uprising was the result of poor economic conditions coinciding with rising anger over agricultural law 9.70, passed in 2010, which officially made it illegal to share, trade, or sell native seeds amongst farmers, effectively criminalizing generations long traditions of local and small-scale agriculture. A documentary film by Victoria Salano featuring footage of the destruction of stocks of native seeds by the government helped to inform the public and to catalyze the movement to suspend law 9.70. There have to be controls which govern our food sovereignty, states Vlez. We should control which seeds are introduced to the country and can harm local ones. We shouldnt be persecuting the seeds which are native to our soil. German Alonso Vlez The seed control policies are forcing farmers to plant genetically modified and patented seed, while ensuring dependence on foreign seed imports and imported pesticides, fertilizers and other chemicals. For a nation that has largely survived until now by using native seed, the lack of diversity in imported varieties means that hundreds of years of local agricultural development is being eradicated in exchange for an unaffordable farming system based on genetically modified products seen by many as having severe and wholly yet unknown health risks. The reaction by such a large segment of the public is reflective of the concern over a looming food crisis, as well as growing public awareness of the practices of the monopolies governing Colombias food system. More people now understand the root cause of the issue, international free-trade agreements and pressure from agro-chemical giants, such as Monsanto, which put international corporations in dominion over small farmers by forcing them to buy imported products and services that have never before been needed. It is a usurpation of control over the most important segment of the economy, food. Its no longer viable for a dairy farm to make ends meet with three cows. Unless there are profound structural changes to current development models, we will be totally dependent on monopolies for food. German Alonso Vlez Implementation of seed control was described by Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos as having Colombia tuned up to international reality. This statement is, of course, completely true. The trending international reality is exactly this; a trojan horse conquest of national food sovereignty by means of international corporate/government treaties and agreements sponsored by international governing bodies and the bottomless coffers of the companies that benefit directly from such trade agreements. The shift to this international model of farming simply does not make economic or common sense for the people of most nations. Author and self-proclaimed economic hitman John Perkins wrote about this type of imperial foreign occupation by corporate influence in his critical book, Confessions of an Economic Hitman. It is the newest means of international conquest. If government controls the use of seeds, it controls what is planted, and what we end up eating. Richard Emblem The international drive toward the monopolization of seed, the global reduction of seed diversity, and the abolishment of small scale farming is being seen all over the world. Earlier this year the European Union presented the Plant Reproductive Material Law which originally aimed to limit the types of seeds an individual can plant in their own backyard gardens to those approved by a bureaucratic agency. In the United States, Roundup Ready alfalfa is accidentally contaminating non-GMOacreage at such a pace that non-gmo alfalfa may soon become a thing of the past. Farmers are being driven out of business by the legal teams of large corporations, and local municipalities and homeowners associations are fining homeowners for their gardens, and in some shocking cases, local farms are being raided by SWAT teams for code violations and unsubstantiated rumors. The war against sovereign food is happening right now, and the developments in Colombia serve as another example of the unnecessary and unfair stresses that the international corporate model of agricultural can put on a nation, its farmers and its economy. In opposition to this, worldwide there are campaigns to educate farmers about the realities of GMO-agriculture and also to inform the public of the other side of the issue which points to unknown and suspected health risks of consuming GMO foods, their dependence on toxic pesticides and herbicides, the high costs of buying seed each year, the loss of diversity. By privatizing our seeds we began eroding our agricultural autonomy. German Alonso Vlez Most people simply dont yet understand how important it is to retain food sovereignty, but this recent case from Colombia gives us insight into how quickly this issue can reach critical mass. Some important conclusions that we can draw from these recent events in Colombia are: The Colombian governments concession to suspend law 9.70 and release all of those detained in the protests is an important sign that people do still have a voice. This story is far from over, and time alone will tell how this plays out, as it is unlikely that the corporations and nations which have standing agreements with Colombia will permit the Colombians to easily renege on any treaties. If Colombia is not careful in protecting its traditional farming methods, it could become 100 percent dependent on foreign grown foods, especially GMOs.

2	Sheriff Clarke Shuts Obama Down With Announcement To Take Back Police Force In a recent interview with Fox News, Sheriff Clarke appeared in a segment to discuss Obama leaving office. He ended up talking about how toxic the mainstream media has been towards police officers in this country. You know, I want to thank Fox News, Fox Business News for shedding light on these horrific situations, unlike CNN and MSNBC, which might gloss over it, Clarke began. You know, I look at whats going on with this president. Hes been an echo chamber for this anti-cop sentiment that has given rise to this, Black Lives Matter, where, you know, previously, suspects were content to try to outrun the police, just flee, stay hidden, on the run on the loose. But now theyre shooting first, as this individual did. He then addressed Obamas role in our countrys anti-police sentiment. Obama put together this task force trying to transform the profession of policing. He has no idea what its like to be a law enforcement officer and how fast these things can happen, Clarke commented. He suggests that cops should engage in dialogue first. He suggests less than lethal options before they go to deadly force. Howd that work out for this Orlando officer? She didnt have a chance to engage in dialogue. She did what shes trained to do, Clarke added. Shes a hero, for heavens sake. She went after this individual when she was notified that this guy was wanted. This bastardand Im sorry, Lou, but this bastard shot and killed his pregnant girlfriend! This is an example why sometimes, and its lawful to do this and its justifiable and articulable, you shoot first and you ask questions later! 
3	Albany, NY Introduces Strongest Resolution in America Against NDAAselfnews Post The 2012 National Defense Authorization Act was overwhelmingly passed by Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama on December 31, 2011. The 2012 NDAA declares the United States to be a battlefield in the war on terror and Sections 1021 1022 authorize the indefinite detention, without charge or trial, of all persons on US soil accused by the President of undefined support for terrorist activity or commission of a belligerent act. This violates multiple provisions of the US Constitution, including the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th and 14th amendments. People Against the NDAA (PANDA), a national, nonpartisan, grassroots organization founded in January 2012, is committed to reversing the NDAAs unconstitutional authorizations with activism to affect policy at the level of state and local government. PANDA started in Bowling Green, OH and has since expanded into over 30 state teams nationwide. PANDAs New York State Team lobbied hard for this resolution and supplied the initial language from which the resolution was adapted. Kelly Citrin, director emeritus of PANDA NY, said: The National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 is the most dangerous law passed by the United States Government in recent memory, and this resolution is the beginning of a restoration of American civil liberties in Albany, New York, and throughout the Country. The fight goes on, unrelenting, and this resolution will be a rallying point for the energies of our fellow Americans to restore what was always theirs. Project SALAMs Lynne Jackson and Albany mayoral candidate Jesse Calhoun also did invaluable work to advance this resolution. Passage of this resolution will go a long way to restoring the protections of the rights of the people of Albany, NY and, through the example it will create, the citizens and non-citizen residents of every municipality in the United States of America. Albany activists hope to restore the fundamental right to a fair trial to all persons in the United States, and hope a fair trial of the NDAA will result in its permanent removal from everyday life among the residents of Albany, NY. This resolution has 7 sponsors. We only need one more. Now is the time to take action and restore liberty in the very heart of tyranny. Although the resolution has been introduced, it must be pushed through, protected from amendments, and voted on by the Council. In order to take a real stand, in order to build the barriers, and in order to restore liberty in one crucial city, we must act NOW. Tell the Common Council to pass the strongest resolution in the nation. Act NOW to stop the NDAA in Albany, NY. Take Action NOW: http://www.takebackalbany.com Video of the resolution being introduced: Please visit and consider donating to P.A.N.D.A HERE 
2	US Company Hiring Members Of Public At 500K A Year To Kill ISIS Members In Phoenix, AZ, and militant organization called Horner G6S Mercenary Incorporated (G6S) has started hiring the general public for the purpose of killing those affiliated with the Islamic State. The company is offering a starting pay of $500,000 a year, regardless of history or previous background. G6S is owned and operated by 35-year-old Paul Horner, who spoke with MSNBC where he complained about the way that Obama is handling ISIS. That Muslim president of ours is not doing enough to put an end to ISIS, and for obvious reasons, hes Muslim Horner told reporters. Well, that will all change with what we are accomplishing over there in the Islamic State. Well be glad to pick up the slack of Obama to protect this country like any real president should. Horner went on to explain the purpose of his organization. What we are doing is good versus evil, plain and simple, He told reporters. We will be cruel to ISIS, and through our cruelty they will know who we areand the Islamic State will fear us. ISIS aint got no humanity. Theyre the foot soldiers of an Islamic-extremist-hating mass murdering maniac. And they need to be destroyed. Although it is unclear who funds G6S, some have claim that it can be traced back to billionaire Ross Perot. Horner claims that his organization has killed tens of thousands of ISIS members, and that they are always looking for more recruits to help join the cause. What do you think of the organization? 
1	WASHINGTON, DCDefense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announced Tuesday that Osama bin Laden, prime suspect in the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, has 'at long last been found.' Osama Bin Laden Found Inside Each Of Us 'For more than two years, we combed the Middle East looking for bin Laden,' Rumsfeld said. 'Frankly, it was starting to be an embarrassment. You can imagine our surprise when we finally found him hiding deep inside the darkest recesses of each and every one of our souls.' Since toppling the Taliban regime in 2001, U.S. forces in Afghanistan had searched for bin Laden primarily along the rugged Afghan-Pakistani border, but overlooked that place inside every one of us that has ever raised his voice in anger or turned away from someone in need. 'We were so busy tracking the remaining members of the Taliban regime and freezing al-Qaeda assets that we missed what was right in front of us all along,' Rumsfeld said. 'Osama bin Laden wasn't hidden in a cave in the mountainous Pakistani province of Waziristan or huddled in the back of a Chitral meat-market stall. He was lurking in the blackness within us all, right there with the laziness and the jealousy.' 'It just goes to show that sometimes it's easier to look for the man in the FBI dossier than it is to look at the man in the mirror,' Rumsfeld added. In addition to FBI intelligence reports, the military's search was aided by eight Ultra-High Frequency Follow-On communications satellites, submarines, aircraft, ground units, and global ground stations. But in the end, all they needed to do to find bin Laden was a little soul-searching. 'We used heat-sensing equipment to search in underground tunnels and studied aerial photography for evidence of movement in the desert,' Rumsfeld said. 'But did any of us ever stop and listen to a child's cryreally listen to it?' Rumsfeld said efforts to find bin Laden, who was placed on the FBI's most-wanted list after the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, were seriously misdirected for years. 'He evaded us for so long because he had such an ingenious hideout,' Rumsfeld said. 'Only someone as evil as bin Laden would think to crawl down into that hole inside every one of us, the one that makes us hate instead of love, forget birthdays, and ignore alternate-side parking rules.' The breakthrough that led to the discovery of bin Laden came Jan. 4, when CIA Director George Tenet realized he'd forgotten to send a Christmas gift to his son in Los Angeles. 'It was bad enough that I couldn't find the time to visit Dale over the holidays, but to fail to send a token of my affection?' Tenet said. 'Well, it made me ask, 'What kind of terrible person does that?' I was telling [CIA Deputy Director] John McLaughlin about it, and he said that, earlier that day, he'd seen a teenager push past an elderly woman at a bus stop. John asked me, 'What kind of terrible person does that?'' Osama bin Laden is located on a busy Houston street. 'The answer hit us like a ton of bricks: Osama bin Laden,' Tenet said. 'Just like that, we had the clue that convinced us to expand the parameters of our search.' Tenet presented his discovery to the U.N. Security Council the next day. 'There is a part inside each of us that makes us throw recyclable items in with the rest of our trash, let Mom go to voicemail, and eat coworkers' food out of the refrigerator,' Tenet told the council. 'It is a dark, dank, shameful place, and it is my belief that the man responsible for the events of Sept. 11 lurks therein.' In light of the new counter-terrorist intelligence, Attorney General John Ashcroft has urged lawmakers to expand the Patriot Act to allow federal investigators to search within the hearts of all Americans. 'Finally, we know to look inside the ugly part of ourselves that makes us under-tip waitresses and cut people off in clogged traffic,' Ashcroft said. 'But now, we need the authority to enter this desolate place and flush the terrorists out.' President Bush spoke in support of Ashcroft's vision for the new front in the war on terror. 'I know this classified information may be hard to hear,' Bush said. 'But I urge each and every American to perform a covert search of his or her own soul. Join me in quiet self-examination and self-interrogation. Ferret out the terrorist inside you and bring him to harsh and swift justice. Together, we can topple the last major stronghold of terror in this world: our own doubts and fears.' Bush added that, even though we know where bin Laden is hiding, drawing him out is largely beyond the power of Washington. 'There is only one way to defeat Osama bin Laden,' Bush said. 'The way to eliminate this evil man is for each American to love just a little bit more, see your brother's problems as your own, always look on the bright side, and leave every place a little better than you found it.' 
3	NASA Warns California Drought Could Threaten U.S. Food Supply: There will be some definite changesMac Slavo And with California as the United States most valuable agricultural state, and thus key to Americas food supply (and much of the worlds as well) that could mean drastic consequences for food commodity prices and potential shortages. The Nature Climate Change journal carried the report, which Think Progress summarized: A new Nature Climate Change piece, The global groundwater crisis, by James Famiglietti, a leading hydrologist at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, warns that most of the major aquifers in the worlds arid and semi-arid zones, that is, in the dry parts of the world that rely most heavily on groundwater, are experiencing rapid rates of groundwater depletion. The groundwater at some of the worlds largest aquifers in the U.S. High Plains, Californias Central Valley, China, India, and elsewhere is being pumped out at far greater rates than it can be naturally replenished. The most worrisome fact: nearly all of these underlie the words great agricultural regions and are primarily responsible for their high productivity. NASAs satellite map shows the loss of weight height just in the past three years: Californias Sacramento and San Joaquin river basins have lost roughly 15 km3 of total water per year since 2011 more water than all 38 million Californians use for domestic and municipal supplies annually over half of which is due to groundwater pumping in the Central Valley. Yes, of course, California is a desert. So, that isnt helping things. But it was reformed into a thriving economy by controversial and historically corrupt irrigation scheme, and is now vital to U.S. food security. The result of these dangerous conditions is, not surprisingly, higher commodity prices including food and water creating higher profits for the companies that provide these services. Privatized water could drive prices even higher. There are storm clouds gathering, so to speak, but they arent bringing rain. In July, Californias state government economic report was already warning of losses in the billions for farmers feeling the weight of drought conditions, though it claimed the national food system would be little impacted. However, time has made that claim ring hollow. In August, Bloomberg reported on the global reverberations occurring because of the drought in California: Its a really big deal, Sumner said. Some crops simply grow better here than anyplace else, and our location gives us access to markets you dont have elsewhere. [] The success of California agriculture was built in large part on advances in irrigation that allowed the state to expand beyond wheat, which flourishes in dry climates. Its now the U.S.s top dairy producer and grows half the countrys fruits, vegetables and nuts. Water has allowed us to grow more valuable crops, Sumner said. Now, we have fruits and vegetables and North Dakota grows our wheat. Without irrigation, wed be North Dakota. [] There will be some definite changes, probably structural changes, to the entire industry as drought persists, said American Farm Bureau Federation President Bob Stallman. Farmers have made changes. Theyve shifted. This is what farmers do. Locals in California are now reporting everything from reduced availability of produce, to higher prices in restaurants and reduced hours and activity at farmers markets and local stores. Most farmers have cutback on what they are growing. In many cases, that means chopping down trees, orchards and not planting as many fields: I was just talking to a farmer today who grows olives and almonds. Expect prices of almonds to skyrocket because theyre cutting the trees down because they dont have enough water to keep them alive, said Helstrom. California is by no means the only place facing life threatening shortages. There are similarly alarming trends having all across the globe, particularly in arid and semi-arid places. Texas ranchers and farmers have been dealing with returning dust bowl conditions in the panhandle and surrounding regions, with very difficult drought conditions and conflicting urban competition for water which strain supply. Elsewhere, too. The 20 million people in Brazils Sao Paulo are facing a stark 5 percent reserves in their municipal water reservoir, with Brazils Public Ministry recently acknowledging that the Sao Paulo water supply might last only another 100 days. Further shortages in rain could easily be the makings of a disaster that could deprive its residents of the basic necessities of life, particularly the swelling poor populations. Already, rationing has crept in, and water used for cooking, bathing and cleaning has been restricted. Suffering from its worst drought in over 84 years, the city of Sao Paulo is in the midst of a crisis. For as of this weekend the citys primary reservoir the Cantareira had dropped to just 5 percent capacity putting millions at risk of losing access to water. The fall prompted the citys governor Geraldo Alckmin to again ask for permission to draw emergency water supplies from below flood gates to alleviate catastrophic losses from the Cantareira and ensure water supplies to the regions 20 million residents. The move would tap a river system that feeds two other states also facing water shortages Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais. But the draw is only a temporary stop gap and, without rain, the Cantareira will continue to fall bottoming out sometime this November. Large swaths of the immense Amazon region are enduring drought, while various hotspots across South America are also drastically below average precipitation levels. There have been many other warning signs about the food supply and commodities markets not the least of which include the billions in losses that corn farmers are facing due to market rejection in China and other countries as a result of GMO contamination. photo credit: Ozyman via photopin cc You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com, where this first appeared. 
2	World Famous Model Takes Dramatic Stand For Israel, Shocks Americans As the conflict between Hamas and Israel rages on, the mainstream media and celebrities have been making their loyalties known. In fact, many have slammed Israel for defending itself, and not sitting back allowing the nation to be destroyed by rocket attacks from Hamas terrorists. The latest celebrity to join the conversation in defense of Israel is Bar Refaeli, Israeli supermodel. According to reports from TMZ, Refaeli is demanding that Pink Floyd front man Roger Waters remove her image from his stage show, after his boycott against the Jewish nation. It is no secret that Waters is anti-Israel, and the rockstar has been touting both a glamor shot of Refaeli as well as a pig-shaped balloon with a Star of David on it. What do you think of Refaelis argument? 
2	Trump Bows Out Of The Debate Because Megyn Kelly Is Moderator If you havent heard by now, you should know that presidential front-runner Donald Trump has just announced that he will not be participating in todays debate. The announcement fuels an escalating feud between the legendary businessman and the Fox News Channel. As a result of Trumps decision, the entire GOP campaign has been forced to react in the short time before the Iowa caucuses. This is just further proof that Trump is not concerned with the rules of politics. He is once again using his prominence to shape the campaign trail and to spark conversation among conservatives. So far, these antics have expanded the support of the American public, but this boycott leaves him open to criticism among Fox moderators and his fellow candidates. Still, many question whether Trump will follow through with his controversial decision. Some believe that we will still see him on stage among the other candidates. Trump argues that Fox and other television networks have been taking advantage of him by selling advertisements for their debates at a high premium. Why should the networks continue to get rich on the debates? Trump told reporters in Marshalltown. Why do I have to make Fox rich? If Trump moves forward with his withdrawal, it will be unprecedented. 
3	Deleting a promising cancer treatmentJon Rappoport Haley recounts how a 1991 clinical trial of the innovative and alternative cancer medicine, hydrazine sulfate (HS), was rigged. Rigged to fail. A spectacularly promising medicine, HS had shown good results in trials at Harbor/UCLA hospital and in Russia. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) felt obligated to test the drug. But there was a catch. The drugs discoverer, Dr. Joseph Gold, had found that HS could provoke very dangerous effects if patients were taking other drugs, especially tranquilizers. Several warnings were given to NCI before it began its test. The warnings were explicit. Patients could die if they were taking tranquilizers. It turned out that none of the NCI patients were warned about this. It turned out that 94% of those patients were in fact on tranquilizers. Barry Tice, an investigator for the US General Accounting Office (GAO), looked into the NCI trial of hydrazine sulfate after it was over. He called Dr. Gold and told him he had found a smoking gun. There was an internal NCI memo which showed that NCI was well aware of the problems involved in the drug combinations. But the GAO did not back up its own investigator. The final GAO report on the NCI clinical trials of hydrazine sulfate simply accused NCI of sloppy bookkeeping. So what did happen to the patients in the NCI hydrazine sulfate study? The results have been suppressed. But NCI concluded that hydrazine sulfate was ineffective. The drug, hydrazine sulfate, a competitor for chemotherapy dollars, was eliminated. Hydrazine sulfate is a cheap, widely available, unpatentable substance. No profit there. Was this story splashed across the front pages of major newspapers in America? Did the great men of television, those holy anchors, insist on covering it with the emphasis it deserved? Of course not. The story was originally unearthed and published in Penthouse, by reporter Jeff Kamen, who should have won a Pulitzer for it, but won nothing. (Note: THERE ARE OTHER SUBSTANCES AND FOODS WHICH ARE INCOMPATIBLE WITH HYDRAZINE SULFATE AND MAY CAUSE GREAT HARM AND DEATH.) There is more to this incredible story. Penthouse publisher Bob Gucciones wife, Kathy Keeton, who was the founder of Longevity, a magazine that was part of the Guccione empire, was diagnosed with galloping breast cancer in 1995. She was given 6 weeks to live. She refused chemotherapy and became a VERY high-profile case of a person taking hydrazine sulfate instead. She also chose radiation to reduce one of her many tumors a growth around her bile duct. Dr. Gold said the dose of radiation should be small, because hydrazine sulfate would enhance the effect of the radiation. But the radiologist gave her the full dose instead, burned her liver and caused later scarring. Overall, Keeton recovered. In fact, a year after her predicted death date, her cancer was in full remission. The hydrazine sulfate was a remarkable success. Guccione ran ads in Penthouse, asking for families of the dead victims in the NCI experiment to come forward and join a class-action suit against NCI. Guccione estimated there had been 600 victims in the NCI clinical test. In October 1997, Kathy Keeton went into a major and well-respected NY hospital for surgery. From all accounts, this operation had nothing to do with cancer. Complications occurred. She died. Most of America assumed she had succumbed to cancer. Further proof that hydrazine sulfate did not work. Predictably, the FDA got into the act. On April 23, 1998, that federal agency raided a distributor of hydrazine sulfate, Great Lakes Metabolics, in Rochester, Minnesota. In 2000, the FDA shut down the company that supplied hydrazine sulfate to Great Lakes, and Great Lakes went out of business. In 1996, when hydrazine sulfate (HS) was still very much in the public spotlight, Dr. Gold stated he received 20 phone calls in one day from doctors at Sloan Kettering, the worlds number one center for toxic chemotherapy research and treatment. These doctors wanted to obtain HS on the sly for their patients. Gold stated that roughly 2/3 of the patients were from the doctors families. And six of these doctors had refused to give HS to other patients at Sloan Kettering. The phrase, scum of the Earth, comes to mind. Author Haley offers a dozen patient testimonials re HS. They are anecdotes, to be sure, but they are remarkable. Example: Oncologist report in today. No cancer anywhere, after two and a half months on HS and vitamins/minerals and supplements. They have no idea where cancer went. Example: Seven weeks on hydrazine sulfate. Brain and lung lesions disappeared. Example: I purchased some HS for my sister a few weeks ago. Too early to tell, but she went from near death at the hospital on chemo to a campground some place, with a fishing pole. HS studies at Harbor/UCLA and in Russia did not cure everyone, not by a long shot. There are questions about those protocols too, because ordinary foods like raisins are incompatible with HS-and who knows what the patients were fed. No well-designed studies have ever been done using HS on patients in early stages of cancer, where the results might be even better. More notes on HS (hydrazine sulfate) One session of conventional chemo costs enough to pay for 10 years of treatment with HS. In 1973, a doctor with a terminal Hodgkins patient approached Dr. Gold for help. Gold recommended a dosage level. In a few weeks, the patient was up and around, not dead. By October of 1973, 1000 patients in the US were on HS. Dean Burke, head of cell chemistry at NCI, said in 1974 that HS was the most remarkable anticancer agent I have come across in my 45 years experience in cancerthis material is so cheap because it is made by the trainload for industrial purposes. In September 1973, Sloan Kettering (SK), the most prestigious cancer center in the world, started an HS study on terminal patients. The lead physician, Dr. Manuel Ochoa, had agreed to give each patient 60 mg a day for 3 days and then 60 mg 3 times a day after that-but Dr. Gold learned Ochoa was changing the protocol drastically he was giving 1 mg the first day, then 2 mg the next day, and so on, building up to a top of 30 mgexcept in some cases he actually gave patients 120-190 mg a day brutal overdoses. In 1975 SK announced HS was worthless. Dr. Gold then did a study for Calbiochem, a drug company. 70% of 84 patients gained weight and had less pain. HS was, in fact, designed to alleviate wasting away in the first place. 17% of the patients showed tumor regression or a stabilization of their condition for one year. In 1975, Russian researchers published two positive study findings on HS. In 1976, the American Cancer Society (ACS) put HS on its dreaded blacklist of unapproved cancer treatments. ACS neglected to mention it owned 50% of a competing and highly toxic cancer drug, 5FU. By 1978, the FDA was cracking down on HS. 5000 patients in the US were on the medicine. The FDA falsely stated that HS caused bone marrow toxicity. In fact, conventional chemo approved by the FDA destroys bone marrow.

1	Saying she was glad to finally be able to apply her psychiatric training, local child therapist Pamela Thornton expressed her excitement to reporters Friday at the prospect of seeing a patient with actual psychological issues. Its thrilling to have a kid in here for once whos truly suffering from a behavioral disorder that legitimately requires regular therapy sessions, said Thornton, adding that she was elated at the opportunity to delve into past traumas, evaluate recurring thoughts, and set up a treatment plan for the child who had genuine, clinically diagnosable depression. This isnt just some kid who started talking back to his parents or cant sit still for more than a minutethis one could, in all reality, potentially pose a risk to himself or others. Its kind of a treat. Thornton later confirmed to reporters that she still planned on prescribing the same medication she recommends for all of her patients. 
2	Ben Carson Is In Deep Trouble He Asks For Prayers As He Suspends His Campaign Ben Carson has temporarily suspended his campaign after a terrible incident occurred involving his campaign staff. Carson released a statement yesterday to keep everyone up to date. Earlier today in Iowa, a van transporting three campaign volunteers and a Carson campaign employee hit a patch of ice and flipped on its side where it was struck by another vehicle. Three of the passengers, including the campaign staffer driving, are currently being checked out at Cass County Memorial Hospital in Atlantic, Iowa. One volunteer is being transported to the trauma center at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska. Dr. Carson has spoken with the family of the volunteer being transported to Omaha, as well as the attending physician. Dr. Carson has cancelled all remaining campaign events today and will be traveling to Omaha this afternoon to be with the family during this difficult time. Dr. Carson is asking people to join him in prayer for all the individuals and families involved. Hopefully everyone makes a full recovery. Carson is doing the right thing by putting his campaign on hold, but seeing where hes at in the polls, this isnt what he needs right now. Will you pray for Carson? 
2	Security Guards Do Something Extremely Offensive To Group Of Christian Mothers In Georgia According to recent reports, the managers of a mall in Dublin, Georgia are facing immense criticism after telling a group of shoppers that they were not allowed to pray inside of the mall. Allegedly, the group was eating lunch in the food court, when they stopped to say grace. Suddenly, they were approached by a security guard who told them about the no-prayer policy. According to mall managers, congregating, soliciting, and disturbances are not tolerated in the area. However, the group claims that they were simply praying before their meal. The mall manager verified that prayer is not allowed at the mall because this is private property, one of the women in the group claimed. I said, Sir, are you saying that people who eat in the food court cant bow their heads and pray. No maam. Thats exactly what he said. What do you think? Is this an outrage? Should Christians be allowed to pray? 
3	Sewing for Sustainability; Making Feudalism FabulousHeather Callaghan Read enough studies and you get a clear underlying tone: You are worthless, you are small, you are the cancer on the earth, do without, dont even exhale or you might damage the Earth you should be taxed for that and so on. Its not even hidden anymoreor wrapped in a nice bow. This one, however, is a little more niched. Apparently, its a huge, earth-shaking problem that young people dont know clothing repair but not for the reasons you might think Pamela Norum, a professor in the Department of Textile and Apparel Management in the MU College of Human Environmental Sciences, found that many more of the Baby Boomer generation possess skills such as sewing, hemming, button repair and general laundry knowledge than Americans 18-33 years of age. Although this is obvious, she says this is concerning because, 14.3 million tons? Really? Americans everywhere are opening their windows, throwing their clothing out and yelling Gardalooooo! She goes on about the need for more education in the skills, more sustainability, and more education of said sustainability. She won an award for this gem. Sewing skills are wonderful; minimalism and frugality when its the individuals choice can be wonderful. Creativity is wonderful. The sweet old lady who is sewing pillow cases to make clothing for impoverished children is wonderful. But hopefully it remains a matter of choice and not pressure to ration and be a good global-itizen. The work is also based on the flawed assumption that millennials are tossing perfectly good clothing into the garbage. That its their fault (or lack of education, more women in the workforce) for not knowing how to take care of clothing. Another possibly flawed assumption that the clothing actually can be repurposed into something else. And dont people donate their used clothing? Or maybe the clothing we currently have is no longer donate-able Personal anecdote: a dire need for shorts arose and I attempted to break my no-shopping-at-Wal-mart rule. It was an ill-fated attempt, for no sooner had I tried them on, I see the seam that connects the zipper to the crotch was not only base-stitched, but already blasted wide open. In other words, it was a permanently pre-opened fly. I had been thrifting for so long, I forgot how junky and badly stitched the imported materials really were. (Soon, thrift store clothing will be just as disposable and worn, tattered.) I used to think higher-end quality is where its at. Ill save up enough to buy a shirt from Eddie Bauer ($49 it may have been on sale) and keep it for longer. Nope. They get a lot of their goods from China, too. Overpriced does not equal better. Following the label directions didnt keep every single button from cracking and falling off the threads after a couple washes. To tailor-repair would cost $27. Knowing how to sew comes in handy, but why should someone purchase new buttons and sew them all back on for a $49 shirt?? These are not just a couple pre-purchase mishaps I could go on you could go on! Given that we are already starting out with disposable toilet-ware, are we to be pressured into spending evenings darning holey socks and reseweing buttons that were never even attached properly? Have you ever tried to stitch frayed polyester? Should I break out my spare loom and start pedaling? In other words, the comparison of skills-to-materials ratio to that of the Baby Boom generation or those before it is at least, a little unfair and misguided. Obviously, theres a deeper problem that wasnt present during Baby Boom time. She is also not acknowledging that upcycling (repurposing) has been an ongoing trend for awhile now. Its because the economy has been broken for a long time and young people who cant find jobs are already wearing worn-out wares. Or, they can break out a credit card and buy high-priced pre-ripped, pre-tattered jeans, see-through jeggings and paper-thin, teeny tiny shirts. (Underlying marketing ploy: We make serfdom sexy, but it comes with a price.) Upcycling does appeal to minimalist, anti-consumerism sensibilities, but maybe its also a (feudal, futile?) attempt to create some individual style, apart from the common store rack garb. You can see the repurposing trend, aka eco wear is pushed in books and TV shows like Chop Shop, a way to hybridize your existing wardrobe without buying new. And, hey, wouldnt it be cool to look like Katniss or Peeta from Hunger Games? Or how about the ancient, stylized cast from Noah (2.0). A cleansing movie about the horrors of humanity. Im not saying these pastimes arent fun or useful and they are increasingly necessary but Im interested in the intent behind disseminated information. And that is the point we, young and old, are supposed to get used to wearing rags, and then repairing said rags to get used to rationing and stop being such a blight on the earth. And then embracing it as fashion sense. Because, if not, we are solely responsible for waste for ruining the earth! For not being good, conscientious consumer/producers. Lets stop the insane blame game, especially on people who werent even born when the economic wheels were set in motion. Everyone reading this wasnt here yet. It goes without saying that the true individual would feel free to wear whatever they like and dispense or use up their bought, worn materials as they see fit. Pun intended.

3	Who Will Save The Honey Bee? EU Mulls Pesticide Ban While US Set to Approve MoreAlex Pietrowski The honey bee is unique in the animal kingdom for its critical importance to both the environment and the economy. Without the bee, the variety and amount of food for human consumption would drop dramatically and the many industries built around bee products would collapse. The global decline in honey bee populations is attributed to a varying combination of 6 primary factors: Right now worldwide bee colony collapse is accelerating at alarming rates, and beekeepers are expecting one of the worst years ever. Many researchers have made the case that a handful of industrial pesticides are the most likely culprits and the best first target in the race to save the honeybee; to save life on Earth. But here in the United States the silence from both government and consumers is deafening. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), who should be thoroughly engaged in addressing colony collapse disorder is poised to approve another harmful pesticide, Sulfoxaflor, already known to be harmful to bees: Sulfoxaflor is the first molecule to be commercialized from the new sulfoximine class of insecticides developed by Dow AgroSciences. The effects of sulfoxaflor on the exposed aphid nervous system in situ are analogous to those of imidacloprid and nitenpyram, and finally the high-affinity sulfoxaflor binding site is absent in a Myzus persicae strain (clone FRC) possessing a single amino acid point mutation (R81T) in the -nAChR, a region critical for neonicotinoid interaction. [Agro News] Why would the EPA allow another bee-killing pesticide onto the market at a time when bees are collapsing at such an alarming rate? United States beekeepers are extremely disappointed with this turn of events and are hoping that the EPA takes the lead from the EU on putting a plan in place to first stop the collapse of honey bee colonies, then to revive them. Beekeeper Steve Ellis speaking to Civil Eats states: Europes decision should be a wake up call for EPA. The agency has a responsibility to protect bees and the livelihood of beekeepers. Unless the agency takes steps to protect pollinators, they are putting agricultural economies and the food system at risk. [Civil Eats] This is definitely a step in the wrong direction, but, sadly, there is little control that the individual has in approving or banning which chemicals get openly dumped into our environment. In yet another way, the modern, conscious person who loves the Earth and would like to leave a habitable planet for future generations is left a the mercy of petrified institutions that dont seem to find urgency in genuine environmental issues.

3	Monsanto Still Testing GM WheatAt this point, weve all got to wonder did biotech giant Monsanto truly ever cease testing the companys genetically modified (GM) wheat? Beginning in 1998, Monsanto ran field trials in 16 states across the nation on a strain of wheat engineered to resist the companys signature Roundup glyphosate herbicide. Top wheat importing nations around the world, not to mention many wheat farmers, came forward en masse to publicly oppose any GM wheat sold then or ever. Seeing little profit in a product that obviously no one wanted to buy, Monsanto supposedly ceased its wheat trials in 2005. By then, the USDA had already approved Monsanto for over 100 field test sites of GM wheat in 16 states including Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming. While the majority of corn, canola, soybeans and sugar beets in the U.S. are GM these days, genetically engineered wheat has never officially been approved for cultivation or sale. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) did approve Monsantos GM wheat as generally recognized as safe which means little to begin with, but given that former Monsanto Vice President for Public Policy Michael Taylor is currently the FDAs Deputy Commissioner for Foods, this isnt saying much at all. After the huge public outcry that followed the discovery of Monsantos genetically engineered test wheat growing in an Oregon field last month, Japan and South Korea quickly responded by halting all American wheat imports. Supposedly GM wheat field tests in Oregon ceased in 2001, and the type of wheat found (Winter wheat) differs from the type Monsanto had been testing there anyway (Spring wheat), so there should be absolutely no reason Monsantos GM wheat should be found growing anywhere in the state today. Now it has come to light that Monsanto actually resumed testing of their GM wheat in 2011, and this new strain is currently growing in test plots in Hawaii and North Dakota. Common Dreams reports: Even if Monsantos claims about this specific wheat strain were proven true, Monsanto has resumed trials of other and very similar GM wheat seeds, according to information posted in a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) database. Monsanto planted 150 acres of GM wheat in Hawaii last year and 300 acres of GM wheat in North Dakota this yearmeaning the risk of genetic pollution from unapproved Monsanto wheat is even greater than most people are aware. How Mosanto could instantly know without a doubt the incident is isolated is a magical mystery. Carol Mallory-Smith, the Oregon State University weed science professor who initially tested the Monsanto GM wheat found randomly growing in her home state, says theres no way Monsanto can officially declare the incident is isolated: We dont know where in the whole chain it isI dont know how Monsanto can declare anything. University of Minnesota professor David Andow told Bloomberg Monsantos claims arent to be trusted either: Sure they tested it, but that doesnt mean its all clean, Andow said. It just means its not so widespread that it could be detected easily. Isnt it interesting that as more and more people are coming down with gluten intolerance and sensitivities in this country, more experts are coming out to say that this wont be the last we hear of Monsantos rogue GM wheat? Whatever the explanation for the contamination, its prima facie evidence the integrity of our nations food supply cannot be trusted when biotechnology is allowed to run rampant in our fields.

Behind the chalkboards in the classroom was a story of lessons past, a preserved moment in time in a faraway classroom that was really just a wall away. When the current boards were stripped, the contractors discovered a second set of boards that had not been touched in 100 years. Watch the video below and tell us what you think of this discovery. 
2	BREAKING: Donald Trump Makes Major Campaign Announcement... Its Official After damning footage of Donald Trump making extraordinarily lewd comments surfaced this week, Americans have increased their efforts to get the Republican presidential nominee to drop out of the race. The media and establishment want me out of the race so badlyI WILL NEVER DROP OUT OF THE RACE, WILL NEVER LET MY SUPPORTERS DOWN! #MAGA, Trump tweeted. Meanwhile, those close to Trump have issued statements condemning his statements. Many note that they continue to support him as a candidate. The words my husband used are unacceptable and offensive to me, Melania Trump, his wife, said in a statement on Saturday. This does not represent the man that I know. He has the heart and mind of a leader. I hope people will accept his apology, as I have, and focus on the important issues facing our nation and the world. Even Trumps running mate, Mike Pence, spoke out against him following the incident. Mike Pence (@mike_pence) October 8, 2016 Dr. Ben Carson, who as endorsed Trump, confirmed that he has no intentions of leaving the race. Ed Henry noted that Trump is a serial womanizer, and its only a matter of time until more evidence comes forward. They have more things and they will drip them out, he commented. What do you think? Can Trump recover from this? 
1	In light of recent allegations that University of Florida football player Treon Harris sexually assaulted a female student, 23-year-old Gators fan Anthony Kedzie reportedly took a brave and valiant stance Wednesday by refusing to pass any premature judgment on the freshman quarterback. I dont think its wise to jump to any conclusions herewe need to wait until all of the facts come out first, said the honorable and courageous Kedzie, who is determined to protect the integrity of the judicial system by not rushing to write off the accused athlete until authorities complete a full investigation of the case. At this point, theyre just allegations, so we have no way of knowing what did or didnt happen. Lets at least give him a chance to tell his side of the story. The accusations could very well turn out to be falsethat does happen, you know. In a further display of his noble commitment to respecting due process, Kedzie went on to criticize the Gators decision to suspend Harris indefinitely, noting that the young quarterback should at least be given the benefit of the doubt and allowed to play this weekend against LSU.

2	Michelle Obamas Next Mission: Granting Amnesty To All Illegals Many Americans are starting to believe that President Obama is using the current immigration crisis as a weapon against Republicans, who are currently opposed to amnesty. To make matters worse, First Lady Michelle Obama even admitted that they will bypass Congress to grant amnesty if needed. Now, in a recent speech in Texas, Obama made very clear his callous attitude toward the matter. The speech was made while he was in the state not to help with the border disaster, but rather to go to fundraisers and blame Republicans for the situation. What do you think? Is Obama clearly on the side of illegal immigrants instead of the American people? Watch the video below and let us know your thoughts.

Nothing says youth and beauty like smooth, silky palms, and our new line of Palm Perfection products ensures that women everywhere can wave to the world with confidence, LOral executives said of the companys new release, one of dozens of recently launched beauty campaigns designed to make women feel deeply and profoundly ashamed of their palms by obsessively scrutinizing every aspect of their size, shape, and texture. Women wont believe how different their palms look and feel after just a week of using Palm Perfection. Theyll wonder how they ever went outside without it. At press time, revenue reports indicated that the beauty campaign was one of the most successful in recent history with over 3.4 million women mortified.

Witnesses said one of its ears appears to have been bitten off and the animal has scars all over its muzzle, indications that, wouldnt you know it, this is probably one of those rescue dogs that was thoroughly abused by its previous owner. There it goes, sources stated, just growling and barking away. And jumping. The pit bull can reportedly jump really high, clamp its jaws down on a dangling piece of knotted rope, and just hang there, snarling. According to sources, a low hedge is all that separates the animal from your backyard, which, sure enough, is where your three small children play all the time. Oh, here we go, the reports continued, your neighbor is apparently coming over to tell you there are a lot of misconceptions about these dogs. Theyre only as bad as their owners, he says. Well, at least they only got one pitoh, nope, theres a second one coming out of the house. How about that, sources said. Two pit bulls, and theyre really starting to go at each other, arent they? Witnesses later confirmed that, Christ, theyre just going to leave the two dogs untethered in the backyard while they go out for the night. 
2	The Told These Students Not To Fly Flags In Honor Of 9/11, So They Did THIS Instead Americans were shocked when the University of Illinois decided to ban American flags during a 9/11 memorial. The school finally caved in to Republican students, allowing them to plan 2,977 flags in the ground on campus, after they received pressure on social media. The College Republicans originally posted the event on their Facebook page, but late announced: Developing Story: University of Illinois denies College Republicans permission to plant American Flags on the Quad for a 9/11 remembrance project. More details soon. The post immediately sparked a heated response on social media, and the university had no choice but to change its tune. In a message to the group, school administrators claimed that they had only advised that it was against University Policy to stick anything in the ground due to the irrigation system and provided you with options as to what you could do as an alternative that involved using cups with sand and sticking the flags in them or foam with the same idea as well as cardboard or any other foundation or acceptable alternative that did not involved placing items in the ground. Later, the university announced: The event has been approved to continue on the basis on what we discussed and agreed upon that was not to place anything in the ground. The College Republicans attributed the chance of heart to the reaction on social media stating: This is certainly a result of the pressure that weve been building. Thank you all for your help and support. What do you think? Do you support the students putting pressure on the University?

2	BREAKING: Youll Never Believe The Reason Greta Van Susteren Is Losing Her Job Greta van Susteren has been known to speak out against the Obama administration, calling them out for behavior that would hint at their desire to keep the station from reporting the truth. The conversation first started following Benghazi, when Fox News was excluded from several key news conferences. When reporter Jennifer Griffin said she was told that there was a stand-down order at Benghazi, I got a weird call from the Obama administration trying to pressure me to get Jennifer to back down from her report, van Susteren revealed. I thought the call from the Obama administration was dirty. Van Susteren believes the call was intended to intimidate the reporter. This incident marks just one of many times that there have been issues between the White House and Fox News. In 2013, the Department of Justice put Fox News chief Washington correspondent James Rosen under investigation. They believed that he had leaked classified information related to a terrorist plot.

3	The Law. Vs. The Law: Is Another Murder Taking Place Now in San Bernardino County?Janet Phelan Such a decision may involve the disallowal of medicine for a ward who is ill with a treatable disease. When Elizabeth Fairbanks fell ill with pneumonia, conservator Melodie Scott made an end of life decision and ordered the withholding of antibiotics and, just to give that little extra push into the grave, okayed that the elderly woman be dosed with morphine. Morphine retards respiration and may, in fact, stop a persons breathing. Helpless and without legal standing to intervene, Fairbanks children watched in horror as their mother struggled to breathe, then stopped breathing forever. Fairbanks last breath was drawn at a Braswells facility. The Braswells homes are scattered throughout San Bernardino County, and many of Melodie Scotts wards have drawn their final breath at one of Braswells facilities. After her attempt was derailed to anonymously admitconservatee Charlie Castleinto San Gabriel Valley Medical Center (his whereabouts were discovered and a line of contact with him was established, thereby overriding the anonymity of the admit), Melodie Scott appears to have made one of those special decisions about where Charlies ride would end, and on August 5 she admitted him into Braswells Desert Manor in Yucca Valley. A call was then made to San Bernardino Adult Protective Services and the screener, Tania, refused to take the report, stating that APS has no dominion over those in long-term care facilities. A call to the San Bernardino County Ombudsman produced an immediate result. A woman who identified herself as Barbara took the report and within a couple of hours, someone from the Ombudsmans office visited Desert Manor. However, according to the Social Services Director, Megan, the Ombudsman supported the decision of the facility to deny Charlies rights to make and receive phone calls. Another effort to lodge a report with APS was then made and the supervisor, Tatiana Khokhold, stated that the report would not be investigated because Charlie is under a conservatorship. There is no law prohibiting APS from investigating these cases, however. Ron Buttram, Deputy Director of the San Bernardino County Office on Aging, has declined to comment on either the behavior of the Ombudsman or the refusal of APS to investigate this report and has referred all calls to the Public Information officer, who is out of the office and will return next week. Calls to the San Bernardino County Courthouse revealed that no one could reveal whether Charlie Castles writ of habeas corpus, filed last week, was granted or not. The reason for all this secrecy is that Charlie is under a mental health conservatorship and all this hush-hush business it is all to protect his privacy. You can thank HIPPA for that perversion of rights and oversight. In the Administration office of Braswells, Chris (who declined to provide his last name) waxed somewhat philosophical over the plight of Charlie Castle and others in his situation. The facility must make difficult decisions in cases like this, he said. He admitted awareness of the laws which guarantee the right to make and receive phone calls for residents at facilities like Desert Manor, but asked, What do you do when a judge issues an order counter to the law? You follow the law, I replied. But the judge is the law, said Chris. Actually, the judge is a man in a long black robe who has taken an oath to uphold the law, but Chris would hear nothing concerning this perception and suddenly reversed his previous statements. We do not block a resident from making or receiving phone calls, he announced cheerfully. At days end, I turned on the tube and listened to Obamas nomination acceptance speech at the DNC in Charlotte. Repeatedly, President Obama affirmed that we are a country where everyone plays by the same rules, as the crowd roared its approval. He must not have heard about the way they are playing the game out in San Berdo.

1	Puppy Bowl VII, puppy football's biggest annual event, came to a complete standstill Sunday when Alvin, a 3-month-old schnauzer mix, suffered a freak spinal injury while chasing down a loose squeaky football. The injury, which occurred only minutes before the Kitty Halftime Show, followed a routine midfield burst of play. Slow-motion footage from the sideline and water-dish cameras show Alvin romping flat out down the sidelines before taking a risky crossing route to come at the football from an angle, at which point two larger puppies, Amy, a golden retriever, and Big Red, a 13-week-old shepherd mix, laid a massive hit on Alvin, who responded with a shrill yelp that was suddenly and ominously cut off. 'I heard something snap and I knew immediately something was wrong,' said play-by-play announcer Jeff Bordner, who watched as a team of veterinarians attended to Alvin, who lay motionless on Animal Planet Stadium's turf. 'We applauded when he was carried off the field, but it didn't look good. The replay shows his neck twisting at almost a right angle.' Sources at Silver Spring Animal Hospital, where Alvin was rushed after the injury, said that the pup has no feeling in his paws, and that even if he lives he will more than likely never frolic on his own again. 'In order to reduce swelling, we lowered Alvin's body temperature by pumping an ice-cold saline solution into his little veins,' said head veterinarian Dr. Richard Cooper, adding that an emergency tracheotomy was performed when Alvin was admitted and that the puppy is currently breathing with the aid of life-support machines. 'But with the severity of his injury, he's going to have a long road ahead of him. There's a chance he could live, but it would be a difficult life. He would never be a normal dog.' Cooper added that thus far, Alvin remains unresponsive to his favorite chew toy. Though the Puppy Bowl eventually continued with its typical array of puppy touchdowns, bone-gnawing, and the presentation of the Most Valuable Puppy award, there was no denying that the energy was sucked out of the stadium immediately after the hit that nearly severed Alvin's spinal cord. During the second half, the puppies appeared to be just going through the motions, with few even responding to the camera-mounted remote-control car on the field. Some simply lay down on the field for long stretches at a time. 'They knew something was wrong when Alvin didn't come back. He's known among the other pups as extremely playful, as a puppy who would never miss the opportunity to play on puppy football's grandest stage,' said Puppy Bowl referee Andrew Schechter, adding that he didn't call unnecessary ruff-ruff-ruffness on the play because the hit was clean. 'Look, when a puppy goes across the middle unprotected like that, there is always a chance something terrible can happen.' 'This is the Puppy Bowl,' Schechter added. 'Everyone, even your pug mixes, are going at a higher gear. Boy that was a tough injury, though. To be honest with you, when that puppy's neck snapped, it sounded like a bundle of wet celery being twisted, and his head was just hanging there, limp, like it wasn't even connected to his body. I was pretty close to the action, too, so I saw firsthand the look in Alvin's eyes. He was so confused. So scared. Then of course he went into shock and passed out.' Ironically, the incident comes at the end of a season during which Animal Planet officials had placed increased emphasis on the safety and well-being of Puppy Bowl participants. All puppies involved in the game had been fully vaccinated and wormed and were sponsored by certified shelters. Moreover, all were expected to go to good homes after the game. Animal Planet extended their heartfelt condolences to Alvin's intended eventual owner, a 5-year-old girl named Lauren. 'Believe me, we've tried to get them into little helmets,' said Marjorie Kaplan, president of Animal Planet Media. 'But they don't like them. They seem to think they don't need them, and they wiggle and squirm until you just give up. Even if you do get a helmet on them, they just get it over their eyes and walk backwards until it gets all cockeyed on their little faces, and then they look up at you like, 'Please can I take it off now? Please?' and oh, jeez, it's just too cute.' 'It doesn't seem so cute now,' Kaplan added. 'After seeing that poor puppy broken and dying on the Puppy Bowl turf, I don't know if anything will ever be cute again.' In related news, the Green Bay Packers edged out the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25 in Super Bowl XLV. 
2	Youll Never Believe What Illegal Aliens Are Being Given At Your Expense Recently, Florida became one of several states to grant free in-state tuition to the children of illegal aliens. Governor Rick Scott decided to a bill into law allowing children of illegal immigrants to attend a state college or universitypractically for free. The law is applicable to any student who spent three out of their four years of high school attending Florida public schools. Signing this historic legislation today will keep tuition low, and allow all students who grew up in Florida to have the same access to affordable higher education, Scott told the state of Florida in a statement, With this legislation, higher education became more affordable and more accessible to all Floridians. Affordable education for all? Were interested to see how that plays out, given that many American citizens are struggling to put their children through college. What do you think? Should illegal immigrant children be receiving free in-state tuition and scholarships? 
3	New Bipartisan Bill Seeks to Expel the Patriot ActJosh Paniagua While this bill may have brought comfort to paranoid suburban families that were convinced that squads of terrorists were lurking around their neighborhood, it also paved a paper path for a new era of mass surveillance. Controversy has long surrounded the Patriot Act and the unconstitutional authority it grants the government. Luckily, the people arent alone in recognizing this. State Representatives Thomas Massie (R-Ky) and Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) have proposed a new bill that not only completely repeals the Patriot Act, but the FISA Amendments Act of 2008, the destruction of data collected through these surveillance programs, and more. Cited as the Surveillance State Repeal Act, this bill recognizes the audacity in surrendering power to government agencies whichallows them to launch surveillance operations without any judicial oversight whatsoever. Clearly, this leaves plenty of space for inevitable abuse of authority. Repealing the Patriot Act wouldnt mean that the government cant spy on suspected terrorists, but rather it would eliminate the guilty before proven innocent principle that such spying enforces and keeping government surveillance under the judicial radar. Along with the repeal of the Patriot Act and the FISA Amendments Act, this new bill also seeks to prevent retaliation against whistleblowers from federal agencies and their employees and contractors. Section 10 of the Surveillance State Repeal Act states: (a) IN GENERAL Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no officer or employee of an element of the intelligence community shall take any retaliatory action against an employee of or contractor to an element of the intelligence community who seeks to disclose or discloses covered information to the comptroller General, the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives, the Select, Committee on Intelligence of the Senate, or the Office of the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community (b) ADMINISTRATIVE SANCTIONS An officer or employee of an element of the intelligence community who violates subsection (a) shall be subject to administrative sanctions, up to and including termination. *** Another aspect worth noting is the proposed liberation from federal influence for electronics manufacturers. Section 7 of the bill restricts the government from ordering manufacturers to leave holes in their devices and software that allow federal agencies easy access to personal devices and information. As great as it sounds, will this bill actually succeed? Realistically speaking, it will likely get smacked down like every other attempt to challenge the Patriot Act. Despite how outrageous it is, the Patriot Act still has a long line of supporters including President Obama. On another note, June 1st of this year marks the Patriot Acts expiration date. So the question is: will Congress renew it? Considering that it was quickly renewed in 2011 and most of Congress actually encourages further expanding Patriot Act provisions, its quite feasible mass surveillance isnt going away anytime soon.

1	BOSTONEvery song on the radio reminds Red Sox fan Patrick O'Malley of the team's loss to the New York Yankees in Game 7 of the 2003 American League Championship Series. ''One Call Away' on 94.5 reminded me of how [manager] Grady Little's call kept Pedro Martinez on the mound in the eighth,' O'Malley said Monday. 'So I flipped over to 97.9, but then Van Halen's 'Poundcake' reminded me of how Yankee batter Aaron Boone pounded Tim Wakefield's knuckleball over the fence.' O'Malley then switched to AM radio, where a farm report reminded him of that corndog he threw on the ground when Boone crossed home plate in the game's 11th inning. 
3	MSNBC Warns That Trumps Comments Could Literally Trigger Nuclear WarBy Melissa Dykes MSNBC host Chris Hayes kicked the fear porn up a notch recently, saying, Trumps comments about nuclear weapons have experts worried he could literally inadvertently trigger a catastrophe. Literally? His guest, Esquire writer Charlie Pierce, went on to say: We have what, I think the total is 7100, individual nuclear war heads. I dont even want to know what the destructive capabilities there. And were about to hand the launch orders over to a guy who cant stay away from his phone for 15 minutes So yeah, I think were all good to need a refresher course in what nuclear weapons are all about. Thanks for that, mainstream media. You have to feel sorry for anyone who truly believes MSNBC is delivering news and not propaganda those people have got to be living in a waking nightmare where were all going to spend the next 1,460 days walking on eggshells to literally avoid nuclear war, and all because Trump has vocal chords.

3	JPMorgan Shareholders File Suit Against Dimon in NY Federal CourtSusanne Posel, Contributor The Central Investment Unit (CIU) utilized a different value risk calculation (VaR), which gave them greater leniency in the assessment of their trades. The purpose of the CIU was to covertly set up risky positions within the firm. This CIU reported to Dimon directly and were given special privilege and separate risk management during their trades. The inception of this distinctive CIU goes back to 2005. Because of the pressure and publicity of this incident, as well as the flippant demeanor of Dimon, the shareholders of JPMorgan Chase co. have filed suit against Dimon in a New York Federal Court. They cite the $2 billion loss as the purpose of their legal action. In the Congress, the Volcker Rule is being proposed by Senator Carl Levin. It would forbid banks from making risky trades for their own profit. This federal proposal would severely restrict Dimon from conducting his business as usual which results in damage to our financial markets. The Voldemort trader that began this media circus was a JPMorgan trader based in London. He is a derivatives expert, and 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 JPMorgan. Restricting and imposing a new stringent regulation on banking is what Dimon want to avoid by downplaying the financial loss. The fact that Dimon is trying to classify this instance as an out-of-the-blue mistake shows that when bankers misappropriate funds in a scheme to commit fraud, the public should pay attention.

2	Vet Sees American Flag Modified To Have Obamas Face, IMMEDIATELY Does THIS Disrespect for our flag has reached an all time high in this country. A group of veterans were outraged when they spotted a very unique and disturbing American Flag flying outside of the Lake County Democratic headquarter. The flag was just like the American flag, but instead of stars in the top left corner, was a large super-imposed image of President Barack Obamas face. Don Van Beck, a Korean War Veteran, was immediately furious when he saw the modified flag. I cant describe how upset I was, he told reporters. You just dont do that to the American flag. With a dozen other Veterans, Beck was able to confront the owner and persuade him to take the flag down. You can watch the full story below. 
1	Confirming that most copies have not been played since high school, a report released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center found that 80 percent of British rock band Queens Greatest Hits CDs are currently lodged in the center console of someones first car. Our data indicates that while nearly four out of five copies of this bestselling compilation album can be found in the center console among old ATM receipts and a pen cap, the CD may also in certain instances be jammed edgewise between the center console and drivers seat, said head researcher Lisa Peterson, adding that a vast majority of copies have a hairline scratch that causes the track Another One Bites The Dust to skip approximately two minutes in. We also found that a small but not insignificant minority of these discs occupy a protective sleeve alongside a self-made mix labeled Summer 2002 or the Red Hot Chili Peppers Californication. Peterson went on to say that those few copies of Queens Greatest Hits that are not in an automobile are currently stuck inside the dust-covered seven-disc stereo system that was put in the basement in 2007. 
1	PLEASANT HILL, TNBob Carson, a State Farm life-insurance salesman for the past 27 years, is a walking encyclopedia of sudden-death scenarios, local sources reported Monday. Carson, who sells life insurance to local residents. 'Did I ever tell you about that poor barber in Mississippi, Frank?' Carson said, addressing the owner of Frank Klemper's Fourth Street Barbershop. 'Such a shame. He stepped on a push-broom, and the handle flipped up, hit his arm, and drove the shears he was holding into his eye.' Added Carson: 'Killed him instantly, because of the brain trauma. Went three inches down in there. Busted the eye like a grape and gouged the brain: home lobotomy. Hell of a thing for his wife and infant son. Had to fill the socket with a marble for the funeral.' Carson has reportedly inserted hundreds of similar anecdotes into conversations during the past several years. Among his stories: a 1976 incident in which a Texas oilman got his tool-belt latch stuck in a high-pressure pump moments before it was turned on, the tale of a Southern Electric high-tension-wire worker who absorbed 10,000 amps through his metal lunch pail, and the story of an Arkansas grandmother who was hit and killed instantly by a passing tanker truck, which subsequently careened into a busload of kindergarten students on a field trip to see the Carlsbad Caverns and blew up cars within a quarter-mile radius. 'At this point, I'm almost afraid to say hello to Bob after Sunday services,' neighbor Jane Francis said. 'The last time I did, I remarked how good the coffee and Danishes were. The next thing I knew, he was giving a forensically detailed account of a body found after a May 1978 bakery flash fire caused when a malfunctioning pilot light ignited a cloud of flour.' 'It was all 'charred and grisly remains,' and then he tipped his hat, said 'God bless you and good morning,' and walked over to Tim Hutter,' Francis added. Francis said Carson has a friendly smile, a charming personality, a cheerful demeanor, and 'an absolutely lurid obsession with freak accidents.' Francis said she walked by Carson several minutes later, on the same Sunday, and overheard him telling Hutter about the fast-acting carcinogens found in the groundwater near chemical plants like the one adjacent to Hutter's hunting cabin in Trousdale county. Holy Redeemer Baptist Church pastor Hal Jackson said he is 'a little concerned' about Carson. 'Granted, Bob does a very good job selling life insurance and making sure all the townsfolk are adequately covered, but still,' Jackson said. 'His habit of introducing technical accounts of fatalities into polite conversation is something we should sit down together and talk about.' Asked about the reason for his obsession with death, Carson had this to say. 'Your last name is Kemp, you say? If I'm not mistaken, the town of Kemp was the site of a grain-silo explosion not two years ago. A ladder fragment flying at about 250 miles an hour beheaded a fellow about your age. Head cut clean off, if you call that clean. Just imagine.' 'Wait,' Carson added. 'It may be I'm thinking of the fellow who fell 20 feet from a collapsed balcony into a running wood chipper. But I've forgotten your question. What was it you were asking again?' 
2	Teacher Forces Student To Recite: All People Must Submit To Allah, Parents Fight Back [VIDEO] According to recent reports, two Los Angeles parents made the decision to pull their son out of class after finding out that his teacher was teaching him the tenets of Islam. The parents reportedly pulled their son from a class at Manhattan Beach Middle School after the principal told them that the school had no intentions of changing their curriculum. According to a report from KTLA, the parents told the school that they would not object to their son learning the history of Islam, but the school had gotten into the religious teachings. The audacity of this school, to think that they can sit these children down and teach them whatever religion they please, the boys father told KTLA. Its preposterous. This is illegal, basically. You cant teach religion in schools anymore. In one question on the boys homework, he was asked to write the teachings from the Quran. What I saw written in these bubbles was, The one true God, Allah in one of the bubbles, the father went on. In one of the other bubbles was All people must submit to Allah in another bubble. Then I turned the page over and saw the five pillars of Islam. The school has not responded to requests for comment. What do you think of their teachings? Would you pull your children from the class as well? 
1	A new illicit drug that is incredibly cheap, highly addictive, and extremely easy to produce is appearing in school yards across the country, the fevered imaginations of the nation's mothers who need something to fret over confirmed today. The totally contrived drug that in no way exists in any objective reality and is only real in the minds of mothers is known by its street name, 'scramp,' and according to moms who previously did not have enough actual things to worry about, a batch can be made from everyday household supplies such as sugar, window cleaner, and petroleum jelly. As recently as last week, the nation's moms created a completely fictitious scenariothe sole purpose of which was to worry themselves sickwherein household glue could also be used to create scramp. 'Right after my husband and I agreed our son was responsible enough to drive on his own, this scramp epidemic comes along,' 39-year-old mother of two Gayathri Bhowmik told reporters as she wrote a letter to her senator demanding stronger legislation against the scramp menace that grows each day in her mind. 'I've heard all the kids in his class are doing it. They have big 'scramping' parties where they go to the house of someone whose parents are on vacation, and they take scramp all night and it turns into a big drug orgy.' Three teenagers in a scramping session that exists only in the minds of worried mothers. 'It's only going to get worse,' Bhowmik added of the scramp scourge that is not happening. Mothers whose concerns for their children's safety has veered into a mass hysteria said teenage users ingest scramp either by licking it, swallowing it, smoking it, snorting it, injecting it, or putting it under their eyelids in order to experience sensations of euphoria, bodily dissociation, dizziness, and a unique altered mind state that cannot be easily described because it is not a physiological reality. Additionally, mothers who feel the need to lose sleep at night say that any amount of scramp is capable of causing a fatal overdose at any time. 'My oldest has been coming home from school and going straight to his room,' said Dubuque, IA mother Debra Verhulst, who just last month began allowing her 15-year-old son Alex to date. 'He sits in there for hours on end, doing God knows what. Sometimes he's really hungry, but sometimes he's not hungry at all, and when I ask him if he's scramping, he just rolls his eyes and tells me he doesn't know what I'm talking about. He never used to talk to me like that.' 'It must be the scramp, added Verhulst, her eyes welling up with tears at the thought of her child's fabricated problem with the fake drug. 'My son is a scramp-head! What did I do wrong?' Despite the shared delusion that scramp is virtually undetectable and that any young person could be on it at any time, mothers said there are still telltale signs your teen could be scramping, including lethargy, too much energy, untucked shirts, watching an hour or more of television a night, staying out past curfew, and questioning authority. A recent poll found 95 percent of overprotective mothers with children between the ages of 12 and 18 are aware of the completely made-up drug, and 73 percent are 'pretty sure' at least one of their kid's friends has tried it. In order to combat the fictional scourge, the recently formed group Mothers Against Scramp Abuse (MASA) has published a pamphlet titled 'Talk To Your Kids About Scramping' and sent it to hundreds of churches and youth organizations nationwide. 'We must work together to keep scramp out of our schools before our children become just another statistic,' said MASA founder Helen Perry, whose 14-year-old son died of scramp-related causes in her imagination three months ago and again last week. 'Just look at what happened to Tim Kepler, a 17-year old Boise boy who I heard jumped from a radio tower after trying scramp just once. These scramp pushers will stop at nothing to get your child to take their poison, and once they do, your kids are hooked for life.' With incidents of scramping up 3,000 percent over the past year in the minds of thousands of American mothers, use of the nonexistent drug has prompted mothers to wonder if they can ever truly protect their children 'Today, it's scramping; tomorrow, who knows?' Perry asked. 'Dooping? Frazzing? Heroin? Quockling? I just want my baby to be safe from these kinds of terrible drugs until he goes to college and I have all sorts of other things to worry about.' 
1	Six months after deciding his life was just too hard and fleeing over the border to Ethiopia, cowardly Eritrean man Ismael Semed continues to hide from his problems at the Berahle refugee camp, sources confirmed this week. According to international aid workers, the 33-year-old refugee, a member of East Africas Afar ethnic group who wimped out and abandoned his home last May following a violent raid by the Eritrean Army, would rather run off and live in a makeshift tent in the middle of the desert than own up to the challenges in his life and deal with them like a grown man. When the going got tough, Ismael could have bucked up and addressed his issues face-to-face, but instead he just took off to a different country at the first sign of trouble, Red Cross worker David Rowe said of the pathetic runaway, noting that Semed threw in the towel the second a large, well-armed military regiment raided his village and slaughtered his family. Well, I have news for you, buddy: You cant just bury your head in the sand every time life gives you lemons. When a problem comes up, you fix it. You fix it and move on with your life. Because thats what adults do. Is it easier to just ignore all your problemslike ethnic cleansing and homelessnessand hope they go away? Sure, Rowe continued. But no one ever succeeded in life by taking the easy way out. Describing him as a quitter, plain and simple, sources confirmed that Semed completely chickened out the night of the massacre by crawling out the back of his hut and cowering in the nearby brush, where, sources speculated, the weak-willed man decided to just completely shut out the sight of his settlement being razed and his relatives bodies being thrown into unmarked graves rather than tackling the problem head-on. The spineless pushover reportedly scampered off with his tail between his legs to the refugee camp the following day, and is now, by all accounts, content to just give up and pity himself for the rest of his life. Human rights group representatives confirmed that the spineless man breaks into tears every time they attempt to ask him how many women and girls in his village were sexually assaulted during the raid, with Semed reportedly bawling like a helpless child just because someone brought up something he didnt like. Additionally, whenever aid workers even mention the subject of rebuilding the homes destroyed in the raidan issue that, lets face it, isnt going to fix itselfhe reportedly pushes the volunteers away just like he pushes away all of his responsibilities. Sources went on to report that Semed, a big crybaby widower who shouldnt be using the murder of his wife and children as an excuse to just utterly give up, would rather live off humanitarian handouts for the rest of his life than snap out of it and get his act together. Ismael needs to realize that everyone faces challenges in their lives, and that you cant just pull a blanket over your head and expect someone else to take care of everything for you, said State Department official John Pollard, who echoed the sentiments of all those familiar with Semed by asserting that the oversensitive refugee needs to suck it up and grow a pair. When my computer died, I lost everything. But I didnt turn tail and run 100 miles to a United Nations relief camp just because things didnt go my way. No, I went to Best Buy and bought an external hard drive so it wouldnt happen again. Nonprofit workers explained that, unfortunately, Semed may never stop running away from his difficulties, noting that whenever they approach him about the possibility of voluntary repatriationan option that would allow the gutless refugee to finally grow up and act like a mature adult for once in his lifethe weak little excuse for a man resolutely refuses to return to Eritrea. Instead, the pitiful, thin-skinned man said he would rather stay in the refugee camp for the foreseeable future, because thats the mind of a quitter for you. Im just barely starting to feel safe here, and going back to my village now is something I cant even imagine, Semed told reporters, repeating another one of his 1,000 pathetic excuses for why he cant confront his problems and actually do something about them, which is what an actual grown-up would do. So many of my friends and relatives were murdered right in front of me that day, and it could have just as easily been me. I still hear their screams in my dreams every night. Right now, Im just happy to be [a complete fucking pussy], he added.

Makes Horrifying Threat [VIDEO] This week, the Supreme Court shut down President Obama by coming out deadlocked on a decision over his illegal executive amnesty that would have stopped deportations for millions of illegal immigrants. The vote ultimately upheld a lower courts ruling that declared that Obama could not move forward with his amnesty. According to reports, Obama responded to the ruling by complaining and playing the victim, implying that he does not intend to respect the Supreme Courts decision. This is just another example of Obamas dictatorship-style approach to the presidency, and America has had enough of it. We cant wait for him to be out of the White House for good. Do you agree?

According to the New York Times report: The Obama administration is on the verge of permitting the National Security Agency to share more of the private communications it intercepts with other American intelligence agencies without first applying any privacy protections to them, according to officials familiar with the deliberations.

Litt, the general counsel in the office of the Director of National Intelligence, said that the administration had developed and was fine-tuning what is now a 21-page draft set of procedures to permit the sharing. The new rule changes would allow federal agencies such as the FBI to access streams of information gathered by the spy agency, including emails, phone calls and location data. These federal agencies would then have the ability to pass the data to state and local law enforcement. As the Times points out, all of this can happen without any congressional or judicial oversight under a Reagan era executive order known as EO 12333. The new rules would change current restrictions on who has access to the contents of the phone calls and emails gathered by the NSA from around the world. Brian P. Hale, a spokesman for the office, told the Times that the goal of the new rules, is to ensure that they protect privacy, civil liberties and constitutional rights while enabling the sharing of information that is important to protect national security. A draft of the new rules has not been made public and likely will not be, due to national security restrictions. The new rule change sounds disturbing and absolutely should alarm all privacy advocates; however, we must also acknowledge that the U.S. government has had this ability for some time now. Through the use of Department of Homeland Security fusion centers and an ever-increasing onslaught of bureaucratic spying, the U.S. Surveillance State continues to grow. In short, domestic law enforcement officials now have access to huge troves of American communications, obtained without warrants, that they can use to put people in cages. FBI agents dont need to have any national security related reason to plug your name, email address, phone number, or other selector into the NSAs gargantuan data trove. They can simply poke around in your private information in the course of totally routine investigations, the ACLU of Massachusetts wrote. And if they find something that suggests, say, involvement in illegal drug activity, they can send that information to local or state police. That means information the NSA collects for purposes of so-called national security will be used by police to lock up ordinary Americans for routine crimes. There is also the use of a previously revealed technique known as parallel construction, which former NSA technical director William Binney called the most threatening situation to our constitutional republic since the Civil War. Essentially, the federal government shares information gathered without a warrant and directs local law enforcement to make the arrest. Using parallel construction, police investigators build their case using traditional policing methods, and hide the fact that they gathered the data through illegal means, thanks to the federal government and parallel construction. The new federal government rules will help parallel construction go from being a process that happens underneath the surface to the law of the land, effectively circumventing the Fourth Amendment. As the Tenth Amendment Center writes, Its all another sobering reminder that any powers we grant to the federal government for the purpose of national security will inevitably be used just about everywhere else. And extraordinary powers we grant government in wartime rarely go away once the war is over. And, of course, the nifty thing for government agencies about a war on terrorism is that its a war that will never formally end. If the War on Terrorism is truly a War on Free People, what can we do to stop it in its tracks? How can we hold a government accountable when the rulers simply change the rules of the game whenever they please? Only an Awakened, and organized mass of free hearts and minds can prevent the total loss of freedom in the United States of America. Derrick Broze is an investigative journalist and liberty activist.

Guess hats, sunglasses face stickers [to fool surviellance] and taking the battery out of your cell phone will be the new norm. Reflective lights on your license plate too; oh but wait that would be too inconvenient. The TAX is Theft is doing well. Congress IS NOT doing their job,letting Obama do just as he pleases!!! Worst corruption in the history of this country!! The world citizens have been warned, This Will Be a One World Government and the general citizen is just another cog in the machine. We work to provide for the Ruling Government and get in return Just enough to survive, the more we try to resist the less we will be able to acquire until it breaks. The more the policing body can watch and gather the less freedom we have, Go where you want But they already know where you have gone and now they will know What You Did. Then youll be required to tell Why The rats will be spying on those of us who support Trump and want to put a stop to the lefts destruction of this country through open borders and left wing indoctrination academia. I dont trust the federal govt. at all and after the way the establishment and media has been attacking the only candidate honest enough to tell it like it is, Im sure theyre not to be trusted. 
2	Cracker Barrel Change Being Forced To Change Their Name For THIS Sickening Reason Over the past few years, the Obama administration and the liberal media have done everything they can to argue that racism is still an issue that exists at large among white Americans. Because of this, weve seen companies throughout the country give in to pressures to be politically correct, no matter how ridiculous or petty the charges against them. There is no better example of this than a recent petition that was filed by Ryan Koch from Des Moines, IA. Koch recently launched a petition that demands that the restaurant Cracker Barrel change their name to Caucasian Barrel. You heard that right. According to Political Insider, the petition reads: I say all of us European Americans start protesting C****er Barrel. It uses an offensive slur and it is deeply offensive and mocks our long and proud heritage. The name is offensive, their logo stereotypes European Americans as people who sit on chairs and lean against what appears to be a bourbon barrel, claiming we are all a bunch of alcoholics. Sure, theyll SAY its a cracker barrel but everyone knows crackers dont come in barrels, they come in bags and boxes! Change the name C****er Barrel to Caucasian Barrel. After all, white people should have something to be offended by, too! 
2	Dad Takes Daughter To Target To Confront Manager About Bathroom Policy, What He Does Next Goes Viral Target is facing major backlash after announcing that they are going to allow men in womens restrooms. The decision has already cost them more than they anticipated. The American Family Association, for example, has already gathered more than 200,000 signatures in boycott of the storeand that was in a single day. Concerned parents, like Izzy Avraham, is pushing for even more than that. Avraham took his six-year-old daughter to Target on Thursday, asking their manager about their weird bathroom policy, and shared his experience on his Facebook page. The post quickly went viral, with over 65,000 likes, 34,000 shares and 12,000 comments at the time of this writing. Read his post below and tell us what you think. 
1	Seated in the kitchen of her tastefully decorated apartment, local woman Jessica Beaumont looks the part of a typical young urbanite navigating life in the 21st century. But beneath this normal-seeming exterior lies a fascinating and highly odd characteristic. According to sources, the 28-year-old office manager possesses a mystifying ability to share details of her personal life with her parents, a skill she somehow exercises openly and routinely throughout her week. 'I like catching up with my mom and dad and keeping them in the loop with everything that's happening in my life,' said the peculiar woman, who, despite being an independent and free-willed adult, voluntarily conveys feelings, opinions, and observations to her parents without prompting or coercion. 'I don't get to go home as much as I'd like to, so staying connected with them is really important.' 'I mean, they're my parents, so I want to make sure they're up to speed on everything,' she added, as though unaware of her innate strangeness. The utterly bizarre Beaumont told reporters that during an average workweek she will check in with her parents as many as four or five times to brief them on upcoming plans and generally 'just talk about things,' including movies, family friends, and life challenges she's facing. Earlier this week, the weird woman actually said she 'enjoyed' talking to her parents, and not just about trivial matters, but about actual thoughts and feelings central to her life. 'The other day I was telling Mom all about this problem I'm having with Allie,' Beaumont said in reference to a person in her life with whom her mother was evidently so well acquainted that it was unnecessary for Beaumont to mention either the woman's last name or her relation to her. 'I explained all my feelings about it, and she had some really interesting advice.' 'My mom has years of experience with this stuff, and she knows me better than just about anyone, so she's great to talk to,' Beaumont continued in total earnestness. 'I should really call Dad and talk to him about it, too.' Sources reported that Beaumont's mother and father know virtually everything about their daughter's life, including her upcoming social plans, issues with friends, and frustrations at work, and that Beaumont is in no way bothered by the fact that her parents are familiar with all these things. According to boyfriend Travis Ecton, a normal young man she's been dating for eight months, Beaumont's uncanny capacity for conveying the details of her personal life to her parents is a constant source of bafflement and amazement to him. 'It's like she wants [her parents] to know what's going on with her,' said Ecton, remarking on his girlfriend's propensity for talking on the phone with her mother for 45 minutes to an hour at a time. 'Instead of just saying 'I'm fine,' she'll start going on about what she did that day or things that worry her. If she has a disagreement with a coworker or goes to the doctor for some reason, her parents are, like, the first ones to know about it.' 'But the weirdest part is, she doesn't do it out of a sense of obligation or guilt, she actually wants to and thinks it's normal,' he added. 'It's one of the strangest things I've ever seen.' At press time, Beaumont was writing a long e-mail to her parentsan e-mail she put thought and care into, and composed with absolutely no promptingtelling them in multiple paragraphs about something interesting that had happened to her on the way to work the other morning. 
2	Chinese Government Is Sick Of Islamic Violence, Do THIS To 13 Muslim Jihadists [VIDEO] According to recent reports, China just executed 13 people for their involvement in terrorist attacks in the far western region of Xinjiang. State media claims that three more were sentenced to death for staging a lethal attack in Beijings Tiananmen Square. The 13 criminals had planned violent terrorist attacks and ruthlessly killed police officers, government officials and civilians, which took innocent lives, caused huge property losses, and seriously endangered public security, an official news agency called Xinhua said. Xinjiang is known as the home of Muslim Uighurs, who speak a Turkic language. This is not the first time China has blamed attacks on Islamist separatists, given that they seek to establish an independent state called East Turkestan. Uighur groups claim that the governments repressive policies have provoked unrest, but Beijing denies their involvement. What do you think? Do you support China taking action? 
2	French Air Force Drops 20 Bombs On ISIS Capital And Then THIS Happens In response to the recent ISIS terrorist attack in Paris, which left 158 dead, French President Hollande has sent out its air force. He saw these acts of terrorism as an act of war, and now hes doing everything in his power to take down ISIS. Earlier today Hollande dropped 20 bombs on the ISIS capital. This included a recruitment and training center that were essential to ISIS. ISIS is not going down without a fight. They are currently regrouping and planning their next move. Officials say that this could end in a full on war. The French needs our support. Do you think America should team up with France to permanently eliminate ISIS? 
1	Facing the cruel prospect of winning 200 grueling games in his interminable 19-season career, 44-year-old Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield tried to get a line drive to hit him in the head Friday to finally put an end to it all. I didnt throw [White Sox hitters] any knuckleballs because I wanted to make sure the ball had enough speed coming off the bat to shatter my skull, said Wakefield, who lunged face-first at everything batted toward him. I didnt give them anything they could pull, either, because its gotta come right at me and, with any luck, nail me square in the temple so I die instantly. Then again, at this point, I would also take a deep coma. Wakefield said he was looking forward to Wednesdays start against the Cleveland Indians, calling it another great opportunity to die. 
1	After appearing at his first solo campaign event since becoming the presumptive Republican nominee for vice president, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) reportedly began wondering if he ought to have told running mate Mitt Romney about the man hes been dating recently. 'I guess I probably should have mentioned Elliot when Mitt and his staff talked to me last Friday,' Ryan said to himself Monday, adding that it had only been a couple months since he and his boyfriend started dating exclusively and that the pair were still 'in the fun, early phase' of the relationship. 'I mean, we're not super serious at this point. We see each other a few times a week at most. I'm not ruling out something more meaningful down the road, but right now it's really not a big deal.' According to sources, despite his initial concern, Ryan relaxed after deciding that Romney would 'absolutely love Elliot' when the two met at the Republican National Convention later this month.

2	What The Obama Daughters Were Just Caught Doing This Weekend Will Make You Absolutely FURIOUS Well, it looks like the Obamas are off on another vacation. This time, Sasha and Malia are headed to New York City with their dad, and planning to part with a few wealthy residents of the city. Daily Mail reports that Obama and thirty other Democrats are going to be visiting the brownstone of shipping magnate George Logothetis and his wife Nitzi. The meet and greet is expected to rake in millions of dollars in donations for the liberal party. Logothetis is a business man from London who comes from a rich Greek family. He began working for his fathers shipping company when he was 18, and grew his family fortune to be worth more than $1 billion. He has been a vocal supporter of Obamas policies on immigration reform, and was recent appointed to the board of Obamas charity supporting young black men. It is no surprise that the Obamas have latched on to him for contributions, and there is no doubt that Obama intends to use their friendship to maintain relevancy once hes out of the White House. What do you think? Are you sick of the Obamas acting like royalty? 
1	After dating for nearly three years, area couple Peter Mazursky and Janet Hyams have finally achieved the perfect semblance of a mother-son relationship, sources close to the pair revealed Monday. The couple share a moment of familial contentment. 'My little pumpkin would practically be helpless without me,' said Hyams, 28, whose role in the adult relationship has slowly transformed from romantic lover to maternal caregiver over time. 'I have to supervise almost everything he does, from making sure he gets up in the morning, to reminding him about his doctors' appointments. I even have to pick out his clothes for him when we go shopping together.' Added Hyams, 'I don't know how Pete would survive if I weren't around.' The couplewho met in 2005 and have been living together since Mazursky was evicted from his apartmenthave not always had it so easy. In the beginning, their interpersonal style still contained many troubling elements of a mature relationship, including periodic moments of independence, mutual equality, and even occasional sexual contact. Luckily for the pair, this early period of instability quickly began to break down as arguments over Mazursky's irresponsibility and Hyams' controlling personality gave way to the codependent harmony they now share. 'She takes care of me,' said Mazursky, 26, unconsciously looking to Hyams for approval. 'With Janet, I never have to worry about stuff like picking up after myself, or remembering to brush my teeth before I go to bed. Plus, she always makes all of the big decisions for both of us, which is nice.' Since falling into preprogrammed roles from early childhood, the couple have seen their relationship undergo a number of significant changes. Sexual intercourse, once a favorite and frequent pastime, has steadily dropped off in regularity, ceasing altogether earlier this month. 'We don't have to be having sex all the time to be happy,' said Mazursky, who by this point has entirely sublimated his libido under the weight of his projected need for a maternal protector. 'Right now we are focusing on other things, like losing weight. We have a system worked out where I can only eat cookies with Janet's say-so, and if she catches me eating one without permission, she gets to 'ground' me from snacks for a week. It's so great to be able to share that level of intimacy with another person.' 'My old girlfriend Jessica used to let me eat all the cookies I wanted,' he added. 'We just didn't have the same kind of bond that Janet and I now share.' Hyams' maternal duties include always paying the rent for Mazursky and then hounding him to get a job, performing basic household chores to make herself feel useful and needed, and monitoring Mazursky to make sure he doesn't exceed his allotted three hours of video games per day. In return, Mazursky's duties include playing touch football with his friends, giving Hyams someone to subconsciously feel superior to, making the bed after being yelled at to do so, and allowing Hyams to lick her finger and wipe smudges off his face before they go outside. 'When we first met, I knew there was something special about Petehe was like a big teddy bear you just wanted to tuck into bed,' Hyams explained. 'That's not to say we don't still have our problems. Sometimes he throws a tantrum when he doesn't want to do the dishes, and I have to discipline him. But when he falls asleep with his head in my lap, it's all worth it.' Mazursky agrees. 'I'm really happy with Janet,' he said. 'Not every guy's got a girlfriend who calls him from work to make sure he's had lunch. I guess I'm just one lucky kid.' 'I really love MomI mean, Janet,' Mazursky added. 
2	3 Year Old Toddler Gang Raped By Many In Muslim Refugee Center Even though hes quick to shed tears about gun control, Obama has expressed little emotion when it comes to the relentless attacks across Europe at the hands of refugees. Hes had ample warning, but President Obama is still insisting that we bring in hundreds of thousands of refugeesdespite the risks to American safety. So what kind of crime are we dealing with? According to recent reports, a three-year-old refugee was recently raped at an asylum center in Stavanger, Norway. Local authorities are investigating the crime, claiming that the boy (whose nationality has not been disclosed) was sexually abused in the common area of the Forus Akuttinnkyartering center. The center is one many belonging to Hero, a private company responsible for running 40 percent of Norways reception centers for refugees. They are designed to help asylum-seekers avoid mistakes as they discover Norwegian culture. Authorities were called on January 6 at around 10 PM to investigate the issue. We cannot let this happen in the United States. 
1	With blood dripping from her gritted teeth as she dragged the dead animal behind her, Suri Cruise reportedly deposited a mangled dog carcass on her mothers doorstep Thursday and plaintively asked, Suri get meat now? Suri share with Mommy, make present, the 7-year-old said to her stunned mother, Katie Holmes, after lifting up the dead dog by the fur of its head and presenting it to her. Suri hungers. Meat fresh. We feast now? Reports indicate that a visibly emotional Holmes then tearfully gathered the child in her arms, brought her inside, and secured her back inside her cage. 
2	Student Expelled By Liberal Principal For Carrying Confederate Flag After School In Long Island, NY, a high school principal suspended two students for bringing a Confederate flag to a school sporting event. The principal then went on to expel the students, claiming that black students had displayed heroic restraint by not attacking the two white students. St. Anthonys High Schools student body is 86% white and 6% black. Principal Gary Cregan, has a reputation for favoring his minority students. He also expelled two female students who were seen in a picture on Facebook wearing a blackface. Cregan felt the post was both racist and inappropriate. Apparently, Cregan thinks it is perfectly suitable to expel white students for their behavior and actions outside of school. What do you think? Should the two students be expelled? Should black students be rewarded for restraining themselves from beating up white students? 
3	7.5 Earthquake in Papua New GuineaBrandon Turbeville Although there were no initial reports of damage or death, it is quite clear that the strength of the quake was significant simply by virtue of its magnitude. A tsunami warning was issued for the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea but that warning was lifted shortly thereafter. It appears that there is no longer any tsunami-related threat. Experts, of course, cannot rule out another large earthquake following this one due to their unpredictable nature. As Jonathan Bathgate, a seismologist at Geoscience Australia stated to Reuters, Certainly it has been very active, more active than usual. (The spate of earthquakes) is relieving some pressure on this faultline, but we cant rule out another large earthquake. Considering the undoubted increase in earthquakes of serious magnitude all across the world in the last few years, particularly the last few months, many people are becoming concerned that these increased tremors in areas such as Yellowstone could be the foretelling of a coming a cataclysmic seismological event. Others, however, contend that these events are simply natural occurrences. This earthquake is now one of a string of many earthquakes that have taken place over the last few weeks in addition to the awakening and eruption of several volcanoes. Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina. He has a Bachelors Degree from Francis Marion University and is the author of six books, Codex Alimentarius The End of Health Freedom, 7 Real Conspiracies, Five Sense Solutions and Dispatches From a Dissident, volume 1and volume 2, and The Road to Damascus: The Anglo-American Assault on Syria.

2	The Haters Tried To Silence Her Faith, So She Did THIS Instead [WATCH] As we recently reported, country singer Carrie Underwood has become a new target for the attack on Christianity in this country, following her release of Something in the Water, which expresses her feelings towards God and highlights experiences like baptism. As many of you know, water baptism is practiced almost universally by Christian and is believed to be the sacrament through which a believer is identified with Jesus Christ. Its a really kind of joyous, uplifting song about changing your life for the better and kind of having that a-ha moment, to waking up and your life being different from that moment forward, Underwood told reporters. Although the song expresses her own personal beliefs, she has faced immense criticism for it. Underwood has some practical advice for her critics: if you dont want to hear about Christ, listen to something else, because shes not going anywhere! Im not the first person to sing about God, Jesus, faith, or any of that, and I wont be the last, Underwood said of her critics. And it wont be the last for me either. If you dont like it, change the channel. What do you think of Carries response? There is nothing wrong with expressing your faith. Do you agree? 
1	Leaning toward the Speaker of the House during the State of the Union address and holding up the device, Vice President Joe Biden reportedly urged Paul Ryan to check out the nude shower scene from Porkys on his smartphone Tuesday. Hey Paul, you gotta get a load of this, said Biden, who gestured for the GOP congressman to take a good look at the video clip from the 1981 sex comedy, the audio of which, sources confirmed, could be faintly heard beneath the sound of the presidents address. Can you believe the rack on that one? That is a grade-A set of hooters right there. You can even see some bush. Man, they sure dont make locker room scenes like this anymore. At press time, Biden reportedly offered a bottle of Lubriderm to Ryan before proceeding to pump a large quantity of the lotion into his own palm.

1	FAYETTEVILLE, ARA black box recovered from the scene of Sunday afternoon's crash of a hot-air balloon gave investigators a chilling glimpse into the craft's final, somewhat terrifying 90 minutes in the air. Local police locate the black box within the wicker basket. 'I hate to imagine their ordeal,' Fayetteville Police Chief Dwight Gibson said. 'Suspended dozens of feet off the ground, at the mercy of the wind, the good part of an afternoon spent not knowing where or when you'll come to a somewhat bumpy stop.' Gibson said investigators located the black box for Mild Blue Yonder Hot-Air Excursions Ride 592 next to a set of power lines about four miles south of Fayetteville Sunday, 'in near perfect condition, considering it hit the ground at 6 miles per hour.' Using information from the flight data recorder, it has been determined that Ride 592's wicker basket skidded nearly 35 feet across the grass before falling on its side, ejecting its three passengers and pilot. 'One quick-thinking civilian thought to use his cell phone to alert authorities to the disaster,' 911 dispatcher Myrna Baines said. 'Then he called his family, his friends, the hot-air-balloon company, and then a coworker, to reschedule some appointments.' Emergency crews arrived on the scene 40 minutes before the crash, responding to calls from area residents reporting a low-flying hot-air balloon. Said Officer Jason Cheyenne: 'We got stuck in traffic, so the wait for the balloon to crash wasn't too bad.' Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board were on the accident scene overnight, inspecting the lightly scuffed wicker and rainbow-striped nylon debris and reviewing information obtained from the flight data recorder. 'The flight data recorder indicates that about 30 minutes into the balloon ride, a burner began to perform erratically,' NTSB spokesman Richard Schneer said. 'When the pilot lost what little control he had of the craft, he panicked, and the passengers followed suit, sending the whole basket into chaos.' Investigators believe that over the course of a harrowing hour and a half, the balloon slowly lost altitude and descended at a 25-degree angle. The voice recorder revealed tense moments on board during the descent. 'We believe that when the balloon picked up a wind and floated upward, the panic subsided,' Schneer said, 'only to flare up again when the balloon began to float downward. Once the balloon successfully cleared that corridor, calm was restored, then lost when a section of the balloon began to sag.' 'Our data would seem to indicate that this cycle happened seven more times,' Schneer added. Schneer said the conversation that took place among the passengers 'was awful tough to listen to.' 'One passenger, a female, said that her life passed before her eyes, minute by minute,' Schneer said. 'Then when that was over, she reflected on her life's quieter moments.' 'Some of the audio is unclear, but we believe one passenger got into an argument with his wife because he forgot to take out the trash before he left home,' Schneer said. Another passenger painstakingly narrated the accident for rescue workers, explaining, during much of the last 40 minutes of the descent, where the balloon was likely to touch ground. 'We talked about the wreck, sure,' Baines said. 'But we started chatting about other stuff as well. He's a pretty cool guy. Some of us might go out and grab some beers with him later on this week.' 
1	After officially ending her tenure as Secretary of State on Friday, Hillary Clinton wasted no time in moving on to the next stage of her career by opening a new Chilis franchise location in the metro Washington area, sources reported. I am absolutely thrilled with this exciting new opportunity to generate income and take control of my future by partnering with an established brand like Chilis, the former two-term senator told reporters while ushering customers through the door of her new restaurant, which she licensed from Chilis for an initial franchise fee of $45,000. Its simplethey supply the space and the on-site training, you provide the opening cost, and soon enough youve got money rolling in. Of course, as operator of this location, my job is to stay true to Chilis standards by providing great service, a great atmosphere, and great Tex-Mex cuisine that everyone in the Herndon community can enjoy. While Clinton said she plans to focus on her current franchise moving forward, sources close to the former secretary say she may in fact have aspirations to become a multi-unit operator.

Conservatives have been warning Obama that if he continues to let refugees into the country, we may be opening ourselves up to a major takeover. One truck driver has had enough with refugees disrupting the peace. He recently captured on film what is happening on the highway between France and Great Britain.

2	The American Flag Now Deemed Gang Related And Inappropriate At School According to some outrageous new reports, a 12-year-old student in California was just told by his teacher that he needed to remove his shirt that was sporting American flag print. Reluctantly, the honor student was forced to wear his shirt inside out for the rest of the day, and faced claims that the shirt might be gang related. The shirt is sold at Kohls, and has the California state flag bear with the American flag print inside of it. That design has been associated with gangs in the past, and we cannot just turn a blind eye to that, Ramiro Carreon, assistant superintendent at the Marysville Joint Unified School District told reporters.

2	Bernie Sanders Is Disqualified For Foul Play Against Hillarys Campaign Bernie Sanders has just been caught stealing Hillary Clintons confidential voter information and hes paying for it, big time. The DNC has disqualified Sanders from any access to the DNC voter database. ABC News reported that four individuals form the Sanders campaign stole Clintons voter data through a security glitch. In the database provided by the DNC, all campaigns have access to basic voter ID information: name, phone number and address of a Democratic voter. Sanders is accusing the DNC of having faulty technology, and says its their fault. It was dangerous incompetence, and it was our campaign that alerted them that the campaign data was being made available to other campaigns, Weaver, Sanders Campaign Manager said. Hillarys staff commented on the matter. We were informed that our proprietary data was breached by Sanders campaign staff in 25 searches by four different accounts and that this data was saved into the Sanders campaign account. We are asking that the Sanders campaign and the DNC work expeditiously to ensure that our data is not in the Sanders campaigns account and that the Sanders campaign only have access to their own data, Hillary for America National Press Secretary Brian Fallon said in a statement today. Do you think the U.S. would be better off with both candidates gone? 
3	Oculus, the Closed All-Seeing Eye at Ground Zero, to Open Each Year on 9/11By Melissa Dykes When we visited Ground Zero last month, a 9/11 memorial guard told us it was supposed to be a dove of peace. Yeah right. A bony closed eye structure dubbed Oculus has been erected over the rebuilt World Trade Center transportation hub that overlooks the new Ground Zero. At a cost well over budget of $4 billion, Oculus is the neofuturistic design of architect Santiago Calatrava. The Oculus has been referred to as a living creature: Its changing its behavior as it gets more and more completed, Mr. Heintges (a facade consultant on Oculus) told NYT. Its like a living creature. Its evolving, its morphing, because its receiving a skin. Across the middle of the eyeis a355-foot-long operable skylight. The eye is normally closed, and it only opens once a year on a very specific day and for a very specific amount of time. Via The New York Times: Each Sept. 11, the skylight will be opened to the elements for 102 minutes, Erica Dumas, a spokeswoman for the authority, said. That is how long the 2001 terrorist attack lasted, from the time the first jetliner hit the trade center at 8:46 a.m. until the collapse of the second tower at 10:28 a.m. (The thing itself was creepy enough before we learned it was even called Oculus. Reading this continues to giveme chills.) A living eyethat remains closed year round except on 9/11 Of his living creation, Mr. Calatrava said on Friday of the annual remembrance: In all weather conditions, the public will experience a subtle sense of mans vulnerability, while maintaining a link to a higher order. In all weather conditions, they will open that building up to the elements on 9/11 so the public can again feel their vulnerability for the exact time period of the 9/11 attacks at the WTC reliving that vulnerability year after year after year How very sick. Being that 9/11 itself was a trauma-based mass mind control ritual on a massive scale, its impossible not to look at this eyeopening to remind the people of their vulnerability during the time of the attacks once a year at the time of the attacks as anything other than yearly reconditioning. As if the whole shiny new corporatized Disneyland of Mass Murder theyve erected at Ground Zero, complete with $24 Museum of Official 9/11 Government Fairy Tales and outlawing of free speech anywhere near the area, isnt bad enough So, after placing acreepy,elaborately-constructed closed eye (with little meaning for the average person)overlooking the plasticized remains of one of the most life-changing false flags in modern American history, now we learn that the thing opens up once a year on 9/11 just long enough to make a creepy, esoteric statement (to those watching for the symbolism, anyway) about our vulnerability and link toa higher order under the watchful eye of the New World Order.

3	A Highly Respected Medical Journal Just Declared The War On Drugs An Epic FailureBy Carey Wedler Fiona Godlee, the journals editor-in-chief, and Richard Hurley, its features and debates editor, penned an analysisciting academic and scientific reports to argue global policies on drug use including the United Nations have fallen drastically short. Godlee and Hurley note the annual cost of prohibition, which entails criminalizing producers, traffickers, dealers, and users, totals at least $100 billion annually. But the effectiveness of prohibition laws, colloquially known as the war on drugs, must be judged on outcomes, they write. And too often the war on drugs plays out as a war on the millions of people who use drugs, and disproportionately on people who are poor or from ethnic minorities and on women. The authors cite a variety of reasons why the global war on drugs has been a failure. Citing an academic study on international drug policy from the Lancet medical journal, the authors argue that prohibition and stigma encourage less safe drug consumption and push people away from health services. These policies have other negative consequences. Godlee and Hurley highlight the current situation between Russia and Crimea, where patients in Crimea died after the Russian invasion because they were forced to stop taking methadone, which is viewed as opioid misuse and illegal in Russia. Further, though opioid addiction is a growing epidemic, drug control policieseffectively deny two-thirds of the worlds populationmore than five billion peoplelegitimate access to opioids for pain control. Another problem [pdf] with prohibition policies, they argue, is that they impede research into medical use of cannabis and other prohibited drugs despite evidence of potential benefit. This is the case in the United States, where the federal governments designation of cannabis as a Schedule I drug has hampered the ability of scientists to research the medical effects of the plant. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) recently ruled to maintain this classification. This decision was largelydeemedhypocritical, especially considering the United States government holds a patent on cannabis for its antioxidant properties. The federal governments National Cancer Institute also admits cannabis can help treat the symptoms of cancer and that [c]annabis has been shown to kill cancer cells in the laboratory. In spite of the promise of the plant, it remains prohibited under federal law. Still, Godlee and Hurley argue, the effects of the drug war arent limited to health. They extend to the realm of human rights: All wars cause human rights violations, and the war on drugs is no different. Criminally controlled drug supply markets lead to appalling violencecausing an estimated 65 000-80 000 deaths in Mexico in the past decade, for example [pdf]. Mandatory sentencing for even minor drug offences has helped the United States attain the highest rate of incarceration in the world [pdf]. The Philippines has seen5000 extrajudicial killings [pdf] since July, after President Rodrigo Dutertes call for vigilantism against drug dealers. The paper also cites countries around the world that have moved to lessen the invasiveness of the drug war. They cite Portugal, which famouslyremoved criminal penalties for drugs 15 years ago. Further, they note: Jurisdictions such as Canada, Uruguay, and several US states, now including California, and have gone further, to allow regulated non-medical cannabis markets, retaking control of supply from organised crime. The Netherlands has tolerated regulated cannabis sales for decades. The editors of the BMJ acknowledge drugs can cause harm. But they argue governments should decriminalise minor drug offences and strengthen health and social sector approaches, as well as move toward regulated drug markets. Most importantly, they assert doctors should play a key role in developing drug policy. Health should be at the centre of this debate and so, therefore, should healthcare professionals. Doctors are trusted and influential and can bring a rational and humane dimension to ideology and populist rhetoric about being tough on crime. The BMJ editors are not the first to condemn the war on drugs. Earlier this year, over 1,000 world leaders, scientists, and medical experts condemnedthe U.N.s half-hearted effort to reform its drug policies. In a separate criticism of the U.N.s proposed solutions, 194 advocacy groups also expressed disappointment. Similarly, a group of doctors in the United States called Doctors for Cannabis Regulation has advocated an end to marijuana prohibition in favor of regulation of the market. BMJ acknowledges efforts like these but asserts such calls are far from universaland far from loud enough. Doctors and their leaders have ethical responsibilities to champion individual and public health, human rights, and dignity and to speak out where health and humanity are being systemically degraded. Change is coming, they conclude, and doctors should use their authority to lead calls for pragmatic reform informed by science and ethics.

Its encouraging to see this kind of piece in such a mainstream publication but as long as we pretend the global war on drugs and especially the American version has anything to do with keeping drugs from people for their safety or health well not make the real progress we need. Not that there isnt genuine opinion both from the public and govt in favor of the policies for that very reason. oh the greatness of the scam. Vietnam-era veteran here..remember that war for drugs and corporate profits, wherew 3,000,000 died and my generation was devoured, while protest leaders were murdered or bought off? Then there are all the individual cases of drug frame-ups..remember former New York DEA Chief Michael Levine (May-June 1995 issue of The Utne Reader) the legions of belly-crawlers in Government employ. Etc. etc. etc. Imbibe for the health of it. And We the People have been saying this for how many tears????? Governments shouldnt try to legislate morality of their peoples; Nixon was wrong and its not the govs business. If people want to take drugs, theyll do so whether or not they are legal. So why not legalize all drugs with the governments role to regulate production, so drug users can reliably predict dosage/effects? There are clear reasons for why the War on Drugs goes on and they include the usual suspects from profiteering to destruction of neighborhoods and growth of gangs. Selling drugs is incredibly profitable, and it is no wonder that the Bush Family partnered with the Clintons while Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas and used the airport at Mena, Arkansas as a central receiving post for their massive distribution network operating within the government and immune from any prosecution. The DEA started in 1973 began the questionable practice of paid informants, enlisting drug dealers themselves to sell out those inside their organizations. There is no part of this War On Drugs mess that was run with integrity. Meanwhile, the dealers themselves have lobbied to keep drugs illegal as legality would eliminate their profits. The losers are the tens of millions of addicts who are hooked and ruined. Very little thought has gone into addiction medicine, so the kinds of drug treatment programs merely hook folks on legal drugs, cigaretts and caffein. Like with alcohol, the death toll on families and the children of these addicts continues to spiral. A new approach is most certainly needed. I disagree with the premise of the story. Before the Harrison Narcotics Tax Act and like acts around the world at the time to clean up the global bad habit, all forms of subhumans ran opium around the world and had to compete keeping prices low. Still very profitable, in the 1800s Europe and US rammed it into the orient, building railroads and banks to regions in China as a way to pay the Chinese for their products, launder the money, and bring their spoils and opium back home for sale with protection of naval power (how the west opened up the Far East!). All of it was legal, and written about. Great fortunes were made, of which some of the most powerful global interests made a name for themselves. More money for the bankers and merchants at the exse of the masses, but just supply/demand of pure capitalism. With the outcry of the people, laws were made to restrict product, great drug companies were became huge like John Purdue Gray Pharma, Eli Lilly and others. Demand and use actually jumped. With the help of restriction, prices went up, demand went up, and drug use was worse. Of course, a drug war would eliminate the drug problem! Nixonss war on drugs was the best price support for covert operations a country could ask for. Money laundering was made illegal, but as we know with HSBC and several other financial interests of scandal in the 70s, 80s, 90s, that was only if the launderer was small enough to be prosecuted or owned by an unapproved group of Investors. Now, after 15 years in Afghanistan, decades in Columbia and Central America, we should know that drug money float the nations running their operations with the full knowledge and support of the owners of the nations of the world, those that produce money and credit to keep the skids of trade running, taking a percentage off the top and the very land of the people of the world as collateral. Warren Delano FDRs grandfather made his fortune selling opium to the Chinese LOL $100 Billion a year to enforce Prohibition Maybe 20 years ago. These authoritarian monkeys in suits badges have destroyed so many lives with their ego ignorance. 
1	An ongoing interrogation at the Los Angeles Police Department's downtown precinct has not been as successful as hoped, despite the fact that officers are employing the 'tried and true' good cop, avid-stamp-collector cop routine, sources reported. 'That's one tough bastard in there,' Detective Mark Jacobson said of the suspect, who has already endured five hours of the classic psychological ploy in which Jacobson acts as a sympathetic confidant while his partner talks aggressively about stamps and stamp-collecting. '[Detective David] Linklater's in there right now giving that slimeball a good look at a rare original-print Dag Hammarskjld invert. We'll break him.' According to LAPD records, the Jacobson and Linklater duo has been among the precinct's most effective, creating more than 2,000 new philatelists and boasting nearly six arrests. 
3	If Its So Real, Why the Massive Ebola Is Real Propaganda Campaign?Melissa Melton Everything you see, everything you watch, everything you listen to, everything everywhere is constantly reminding these people that Ebolais real. If Ebola is so real that people are dropping dead in the streets left and right in West Africa every other five minutes, why is there such a MASSIVE propaganda campaign funded by major international NGOs such as Unicef on billboards, posters, signs, TV, pop songs with the line Ebola is real at #1 on the chart on the radio there and even public service messages being played at the start of each incoming phone call in Liberia reminding people over there 24/7 that Ebola is indeed real? Is that really the number one priority here? Apparently so. Look at that image above. It looks like something straight out of the Resident Evils Umbrella Corporation. Nothing about how this reported outbreak has been managed from the beginning back in March has followed even a modicum of common sense. And what is the guy in this clip shown above doing dropping off his son at a hospital who is supposedly dying of Ebola an act that the media has made it a point time and again to relay is tantamount to a death sentence over there then just walking away with little emotion and without having his temperature taken, being quarantined, or even questioned AND holding a wad of cash? As Jon Rappoport has reported, the test for Ebola is completely unreliable to begin with, and thats out of the mouth of the very guy who invented it. Anymore when you consider Ebola you have to consider that Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases over at the National Institutes of Health, told The Canadian Press in a recent interview: As the epidemic gets more and more formidable and in some cases out of control it is quite conceivable, if not likely, that we may need to deploy the vaccine to the entire country to be able to shut the epidemic down. That is clearly a possibility. Vaccinatethe entire countrywith an experimental, fast-tracked Ebola vaccine that, oh by the way, his staff just so happens to be working with GlaxoSmithKline to create as we speak. Which country or countries will be mass vaccinated? The good doctor didnt specify. Stories abound that our soldiers are now over in West Africa building camps with barbed wire strung around the outside to treat people suspected of Ebola infection. If thats the case, they can put signs up that say, Community Health Center on them all day long, but if the sign is being put on the front of what would amount to a FEMA camp here, its still a FEMA camp. Im just putting this out there for your consideration because to believe what were being told about all this and to buy into all the fear being served up by our media and officials requires a whole lot of trust and, like the people of West Africa, I seem to be running just a bit short on trust these days. 
3	The U.S. Has An Even Larger Gap Between The Rich And The Poor Than Downton Abbey DoesMichael Snyder, Contributor The gap between the wealthy and the poor in America is getting wider with each passing day. In fact, it is my contention that the U.S. has an even larger gap between the rich and the poor than Downton Abbey does. If you have never seen Downton Abbey, you really should. It is one of the most extraordinary shows to appear on television in years. It is a drama set in the UK which follows the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants throughout the early part of the 20th Century. It can be a bit jarring to watch servants wait on their masters hand and foot and refer to them by such titles as Lord and Lady, but the truth is that in many ways there is more inequality today than there was back then. As far as people living in the worst areas of cities such as Detroit and Cleveland are concerned, the socialites that live on Fifth Avenue in New York City or in multi-million dollar homes out in the Hamptons might as well be from another planet. If you have lots of money, America is still a really great place to live. If you barely have any money, America can be really cold and cruel. Sadly, our politicians continue to pursue policies that make things even better for those working for the establishment in places such as Washington D.C. and Manhattan, and worse for all the rest of us. This has especially been true over the course of the past four years. If nothing is done, the gaping chasm between the rich and the poor will continue to get even worse, and in the end that will have some really severe consequences for our society. So is the answer to raise taxes and redistribute more money to the poor? Of course not. Today, we are already paying dozens of different kinds of taxes every year and the government is handing out more money to people than ever before. But poverty just continues to explode. There is not much help on the horizon for the poor or the middle class in America, and that should be distressing for all of us. But things in the wealthy parts of America are going absolutely wonderfully right now. Lets take a few moments and contrast what life is like in the two Americas right now In the good America, stocks are absolutely soaring. In fact, the SP 500 closed above 1,500 on Friday for the very first time in more than five years. In the bad America, poverty statistics just continue to get worse. According to a newly released report, 60 percent of all children in the city of Detroit are living in poverty. In the good America, hedge funds are rolling in the profits. The Dow just had its best January since January of 1994, and many analysts are projecting that 2013 will be a banner year for the markets. In the good America, expensive homes are selling at a pace that we have not seen in years. Just check out what is happening in the Hamptons. According to the National Association of Realtors, sales of homes worth at least a million dollars were51 percent higher in November 2012 than they were in November 2011. In the bad America, there are hordes of young adults that cannot find jobs and cannot take care of themselves. Shockingly, U.S. families that have a head of household that is under the age of 30 have a poverty rate of 37 percent. In the good America, the too big to fail banks are partying like it was 2005 again. For example, revenues at Goldman Sachs increased by about 30 percent in 2012 and Goldman stock has soared by more than 40 percent over the past 12 months. In the bad America, poverty is exploding and government dependence has become a way of life. If you can believe it, the number of Americans on food stamps has grown from about 17 million in the year 2000 to more than 47 million today. In the good America, those working for the establishment will do just about anything to make a buck. For instance, Goldman Sachs made 400 million dollars driving up food prices in 2012 while hundreds of millions around the world existed on the edge of starvation. In the bad America, millions of families are wondering how they will make it until next month. If you can believe it, more than a million public school students in the United States are homeless. This is the first time that has ever happened in our history. In the good America, everyone has a good ride. In fact, sales of luxury German-made vehicles set new all-time records in 2012. In the bad America, those that have lost everything are shunned and ostracized. In fact, many communities all over America are actually making feeding the homeless illegal. The fact that there is poverty in America should not alarm you. Every country in the world has poverty. What should alarm you is how rapidly it is growing. Even though the Obama administration tells us that we are in an economic recovery, things just continue to get worse. The wealthy elitists in Washington D.C. and New York City may be doing wonderfully, but the truth is that the middle class continues to shrink and just about every poverty statistic that you can think of continues to rise. If you are convinced that we do not have a wealth gap problem in the United States today, just check out the following statistics. Most of them are from one of my previous articles entitled The Middle Class In America Is Being Wiped Out Here Are 60 Facts That Prove It -According to the Economic Policy Institute, the wealthiest one percent of all Americans households on average have 288 times the amount of wealth that the average middle class American family does. -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. -At this point, the poorest 50 percent of all Americans collectively own just 2.5% of all the wealth in the United States. -The United States now ranks 93rd in the world in income inequality. -The average CEO now makes approximately 350 times as much as the average American worker makes. -Today, corporate profits as a percentage of U.S. GDP are at an all-time high, but wages as a percentage of U.S. GDP are near an all-time low. Sometimes, when the good America and the bad America collide, the results are quite humorous. For example, a 23-year-old homeless Brazilian man and his friends recently decided to move in to a 7,522 square foot house down in Florida that is valued at $2.1 million. The following is from a recent article in the Orlando Sentinel Bank of America has filed to evict nine squatters from a $2.5-million mansion in a posh Boca Raton neighborhood. In a filing in Palm Beach County court that names 23-year-old Andre De Palma Barbosa and eight other unknown people, the bank claims rightful ownership of the home despite Barbosas attempt to stake his claim on the foreclosed waterside property by using an obscure Florida real estate law. Barbosa has been invoking a state law called adverse possession, which allows someone to move into a property and claim the title if they can stay there seven years. A signed copy of that note is also posted in the homes front window. Yeah, they will be able to get him and his friends out of there eventually, but in future years I fear that the conflicts between the rich and the poor will not be so nice. Already, a very ominous Robin Hood mentality is building among the poor in this country. Many wealthy people dont even realize that it is happening. But someday when desperate flash mobs are roaming through their neighborhoods looking to do a little creative redistribution, then they will get it. Our society is starting to come apart at the seams, and there is an incredible amount of tension between the rich and the poor. This is unfortunate, but instead of calming things down many of our politicians are actually exploiting this tension. When our economy crashes, the class warfare of today may actually turn into real war in the streets. Desperate people do desperate things, and when people are hungry and they cant feed their families, many of them will not be afraid to go over to the wealthy neighborhoods and take what they want. It is time to get ready for what is coming. Even though the stock market is soaring right now, that could change at any moment. All of the long-term economic and societal trends are pointing to some really bad things in the years ahead, and sticking our heads in the sand and pretending that everything is going to be okay somehow is not going to help. So what do you think about all of this? Do you think that the U.S. has an even larger gap between the rich and the poor than Downton Abbey does?

1	In the biggest fad to sweep Sudan's thrill-seeking teens since 1994's 'extreme thirst' craze, youths in this Northeast African nation are going wild for the great taste of any food whatsoever. The new 'absolutely anything edible' fad is reflected in current Sudanese youth fashions, dominated by neon-colored, zebra-striped hats and shirts featuring slogans like, 'Do you have any food?' and 'I am extremely hungry.' Sociologist Gavin Werner of Tufts University explained the craze: 'For these young people, such fads are a way of setting themselves apart from their parents and forging a generational identity of their own. They are also starving to death and must obtain food if they are to live much longer.' 
1	President Barack Obama returned from a recent diplomatic visit to India with several boxes of these disgusting candies that taste, smell, and look really weird, grossed-out White House sources reported Monday. 'I feel bad for not wanting to eat them, but they're just awful,' said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, adding that Obama set the candies out in a common area and frequently checked to determine if anyone was eating the disgusting things. 'They make me want to puke. One is like this log of sour paste surrounded by some kind of seeds, and another is really hard but tastes like soap. I think these jellied things might be aloe-flavored.' Gibbs also confirmed that Obama's attempt to prepare aloo gobhi, an Indian dish consisting of cauliflower and potatoes sauted in garam masala, stunk up the entire White House. 
3	Lost Politics, Broken Laws; One Nation Under Vaccine ManufacturersBy Jefferey Jaxen However, the unfortunate and inconvenient truth of controlled senators and their lobbyist handlers is that much of their actions and authored bills are illegal on many levels. Speed and appeals to emotion are their only tools. Their window of opportunity is closing and simple force appears to be their last pillar of hope. Looking at the removal of state medical vaccine exemptions reveals laws, international principles, codes, and rules all broken simultaneously. In committees that pride themselves on due process and fulfilling the will of the people, this time will go down in history as a warning to future generations of the damage caused by unchecked corporate lobbying and unrestrained politicians. An endless future of class action lawsuits and countless other legal challenges waits eagerly in the wings for foolish politicians to enact into law their vaccine exemption bills. State Constitution and Educational Laws: Ignored Shortly before the California Judiciary Committee vote on Senate Bill 277 (SB-277), Mary Holland, Legal Research Scholar at New York University School of Law, stated in a press release This bill (SB-277) appears to be unconstitutional under California law, and if passed in this form, will wreak havoc in California courts. In addition, federal law protects special education students, guaranteeing they receive a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). For many of these students, home schooling will not work. Recently when Vermont Bill H98 was being hurried through the Health and Welfare Committee, Senator Ann Cummings inquired how the children who refused vaccination would be educated moving forward. Senator John Campbell stated Only homeschool will be available to them. Highlighting the clear legal issue, Senator Claire Ayer concluded the topic by saying on record It will be decided in the court system. In a recent Los Angeles Times article, it was pointed out by Kevin G. Backer, legislative director of the ACLU of Californias Center for Advocacy and Policy, that under the California Constitution, children have the right to a public education. Quoting directly from the State of California Department of Justice Office of the Attorney General, under chapter 6 State Laws: The U.S. Constitution: Ignored The First Amendment to the Constitution states that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Vaccine exemptions declared by individuals for religious concerns, if removed, would appear to be in direct violation of the First Amendment. Since the 1960s the Supreme Court has established clear precedents under the Fourteenth Amendment due process clause requiring states to prove that their interference in medical autonomy is necessary, and not merely rationally related to, the accomplishment of a permissible state policy. Griswold vs. Connecticut, 381 U.S 479, 497 (1965) (citing McLaughlin v. Florida, 379, U.S. 184 (1964)). Medical Code of Ethics: Ignored The safe and effective line was over before it began now showing to have been a baseless corporate talking point created to sell legislation all along. Doctors and nurses who should know better instantly have lost credibility uttering this catch phrase to an awakened and educated public that thoroughly knows the research and medical literature. Vaccine inserts clearly state that the product has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic properties, or for impairment of fertility and that safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established Next, with the vaccine inserts in mind, arguments around adjuvants lack proper credibility as many have been well-known toxic substances to humans for over a century. In the light of the official announcement that the U.S. government is lowering fluoride levels in drinking water, an observer could comment that the U.S. medical community only will act after 50 years of public poisoning. In the case of mercury, fluoride, aluminum and other long-known toxic elements to the human body, it seems that regulatory agencies have schizophrenic tendencies when human health and life are on the line. International Human Rights: Ignored What still continues to be ignored by mainstream media and senators that wish to understand the gravity of the vaccine exemption bills they are voting and reporting on are the following potential international violations: Nuremberg Principles: Principle I states, Any person who commits an act which constitutes a crime under international law is responsible therefore and liable to punishment. Principle III states, The fact that a person who committed an act which constitutes a crime under international law acted as Head of State or responsible government official does not relieve him from responsibility under international law. Principle IV states: The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him. Principle VII states, Complicity in the commission of a crime against peace, a war crime, or a crime against humanity as set forth in Principle VI is a crime under international law. Nuremberg Code: 5.) No experiment should be conducted where there is a prior reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects. 6.) The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment. 7.) Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death. 10.) During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill and careful judgment required of him that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject. Declaration of Geneva: Declaration of Helsinki:-Operational Principles Article 13: subject to independent ethical review and oversight by a properly convened committee Article 17: Studies should be discontinued if the available information indicates that the original considerations are no longer satisfied Article 16: Information regarding the study should be publicly available Article 27: Ethical publications extend to publication of the results and consideration of any potential conflict of interest. Article 30: The interests of the subject after the study is completed should be part of the overall ethical assessment, including assuring their access to the best proven care International Treatise under the United Nations United Nations Universal Doctrine of Human Rights Convention on the Rights of the Child Article 19: .of the Convention states that state parties must take all appropriate legislative, administrative, social and educational measures to protect the child from all forms of physical or mental violence.

1	The Office of the Surgeon General issued a warning Monday that sustained use of Mountain Dewan addictive, caffeinated soft drink popular in youth-counterculture circlesmay lead to the use of such harder beverages as Surge, Jolt, and even espresso. Mountain Dew 'There are children as young as 10 in this country who regularly do the Dew,' Surgeon General David Satcher said. 'While the risks associated with use of this extreme soda are lower than those of other, even more caffeinated substances, the decision to become a Mountain Dew user sends a young person down a dangerous path. It is the first step on the journey to hardcore beverage use.' ''It's only Mountain DewI can handle it,' is something I hear all too often,' Satcher added. According to UCLA Medical Center addiction specialist Dr. Audra Hurst, Mountain Dew is a 'gateway beverage,' one that serves as a bridge between safe drinks like orange juice and milk and dangerous substances like black tea and 'Water Joe,' the street name for a powerful strain of chemically enhanced caffeinated water. 'Everyone is familiar with the frightening image of the trembling, barely functional coffee addict, unable to face the world without his morning fix,' Hurst said. 'But few people think about the beverages that coffee junkie started out on before working his way up to that pathetic state.' 'Regular Mountain Dew use sets the stage for far more serious things,' said Lenora Nunez, president of Think Before You Drink, a New York-based soft-drink-industry watchdog group. 'You get hooked on it and, suddenly, walking into a Starbucks and ordering a double mochaccino with 144 mg of caffeine or slugging down a carton of Strawberry Quik at 90 grams of sugar a pop doesn't seem like the taboo it once was.' Early-stage Mountain Dew users describe experiencing a sweet, highly pleasurable oral sensation and, in high doses, a rush of energy known as 'doing the Dew.' In certain users, the product also induces feelings of extreme confidence and invulnerability, leading them to engage in such high-risk activities as bungee-jumping and skydiving. Former Mountain Dew drinkers who admit to using coffee daily. 'What many users don't realize until it's too late is that when the effects of the Mountain Dew wear off, their energy level plummets and they immediately start looking for another Mountain Dew, sending them spiraling downward into a cycle of dependence,' Nunez said. 'Before they're even aware of it, the user has developed a profound psychological and physical dependence to the Dew.' Because it is legal and its use widespread, Mountain Dew is often assumed to be safe. The drink, however, is known to pose many medical risks. Clinical studies have linked its consumption to rapid heartbeat, insomnia, diuresis, anxiety, hyperactivity, and the inability to concentrate. In a trend Nunez calls 'alarming,' recent studies have shown that the average age at which a child drinks his or her first Mountain Dew is plummeting, while recreational use among young people is sharply on the rise. 'A young child does not possess the maturity and decision-making faculties necessary to use Mountain Dew responsibly,' Nunez said. 'I've seen kids as young as seven walk up to a soda machine on a street corner and plug their money in.' Exacerbating the problem is the fact that parents often dismiss their children's Mountain Dew use as harmless soda experimentation, something they themselves did when they were young. 'Mountain Dew came into vogue in the late '70s as a performance-enhancing beverage, consumed by young people seeking to prolong their enjoyment of such activities as horseback riding and rope-swinging over swimming holes,' Hurst said. 'But that was a far more innocent time. Today, we know a lot more about the costs of recreational Dew use and what it can lead to.' Despite such warnings, most regular users dismiss the notion that Mountain Dew is a gateway drink. 'That's a bunch of bull,' said Troy DeSilva, 31, a Petoskey, MI, auto mechanic who started drinking Mountain Dew at 13. 'What about the millions of decent, tax-paying, home-owning Mountain Dew users who have never gone on to use any harder beverages? Why don't we hear about them?' 'I've been a six-pack-a-day Mountain Dew drinker for almost 20 years, and it hasn't negatively affected me whatsoever,' DeSilva continued. 'If it did, I could quit any time I wanted to.' 
2	White House: Obama Looking To Circumvent Congress On Gun Control Josh Earnest, spokesman for the White House, recently made the claim that President Barack Obama is always looking for opportunities to act on gun control, even if it means acting unilaterally. The Presidents goal is to look for opportunities to act administratively, unilaterally using his executive authority to try to make our communities safer, Earnest claimed, responding to a question about the recent shooting at Oregon High School. Were always looking for those opportunities, he continued, But none of those opportunities when they present themselves is going to be an acceptable substitute for robust legislative action. After the Newtown massacre in December 2012, Obama took nearly two dozen executive actions designed to restrict guns. However, the bill that Obama designed for stronger background checks did not get enough support to pass through Senate. Now, Obama is taking to social media to speak out about the lack of power in executive actions. If public opinion does not demand change in Congress, it will not change, Obama posted on Tumblr, We dont have enough tools right now to make as big a dent as we need toNow its hard to get even the most minor legislation passed and we should be ashamed. Obama continued on to speak on against the NRA, claiming, most members of Congress, I have to say to some degree this is bipartisan, are terrified of the NRA. Earnest pushed a similar agenda in his speech, addressing the alarming number of gun violence incidents as of late. There is no doubt there has been an alarming frequency of tragic incidents of gun violence that are concerning to democrats and Republicans in Washington, but more importantly to people all across the country, Earnest claimed, The question I think really facing lawmakers right now is what common sense steps can Democrats and Republicans take to reduce the likelihood of gun violence. And there are some, and they have unfortunately been bottled up in Congress and that is a disappointment to the president. Earnest left off with one crucial statement that made something very clear: Obama is not afraid to act alone. Thats not going to stop the president from continuing to push for administrative steps that we can take to help reduce gun violence. What do you think? Are you sick of Obama acting unilaterally? 
1	Watch out, ladies: Irrepressible bad boy Jordan Jeffries, that hard-partying Hollywood hunk who's on everybody's A-list, is at it again. Jordan Jeffries flashes his killer smile. Paroled Jan. 19 after spending six months in Los Angeles County Jail for cocaine and gun possession, the club-hopping cut-up and legendary lothario was once again in hot water Saturday after gunning down seven bystanders at the red-hot L.A. nightspot Skybar, dispatching his victims 'mercilessly and at point-blank range,' according to police reports. Witnesses said the sexy and oh-so-single Jeffriesbest known for his role as daredevil test pilot Johnny Spade in the blockbuster G-Force moviescommitted the murders 'for no apparent reason,' mowing down his terrified prey 'with cold-blooded precision, deaf to their desperate pleas for mercy.' Ouch! Jeffries, 29, who has been romantically linked to everyone from Charlize Theron to James King to Amanda Peet, has slayed plenty of women with his drop-dead-gorgeous looks. But with five males among his seven victims, this notorious ladykiller seems to be a mankiller, too. 'He has all the markings of a sociopathic psychotic, showing no remorse for this brutal mass slaying,' said LAPD profiler Dr. Leila Briedel-White, who conducted a psychological examination of the homicidal heartthrob following his arrest. 'What he did is beyond the capacity of a normal human being.' 'That certainly sounds like the Jordan Jeffries millions of viewers loved to hate as the duplicitous ladies' man Gregg Grant on To Have And To Hold,' said Soap Opera Digest editor Ellen Bright. 'But unlike the character he played on THATH, Jordan isn't just breaking heartshe's firing .38-caliber slugs into them, as well.' The scene of a 1997 double homicide many believe was committed by the notorious bad boy. The arrest marks the latest in a string of brushes with the law for Jeffries, dubbed 'The Multiple-Convicted Felon Who Cannot Be Tamed' by Us magazine in its May 2000 cover profile. Past charges range from misdemeanor reckless endangerment and disturbing the peace to such A-list crimes as felonious assault, vehicular manslaughter, and transporting a minor across state lines for immoral purposes. In 1997, the free-spirited Jeffries was nearly extradited to France for his involvement in a Paris hotel fire that left four dead, but his lawyers managed to get him off with a $50,000 fine. This time, LAPD authorities say, if he's convicted of the shootings, the hot-blooded actor and part-time bassist for the band Rocketdog will face stiffer penalties, including seven consecutive life sentences and/or up to 40 hours of community service. Lew Adelman, Jeffries' longtime manager, remains optimistic. 'Jordan is a sensitive, deeply fragile creative talent, and he's had his share of hard times,' Adelman told Daily Variety. 'Yes, he's a troubled soul, but we're confident that if we can sufficiently prove psychological instability, an insanity verdict can be reached in time for him to complete shooting on G-Force IV: Maximum Thrust. If the trial goes well, his six-week guest spot on ABC's Whizzer & McDeal should also be unaffected.' Lawyers for the talented but troubled actor expressed confidence that they can have the multiple homicide charges reduced to a lesser offense, provided the recidivist romeorecently spotted at the ultra-hip Hollywood S&M dungeon and sex club Der Vault with his bodyguard and two unnamed models in towagrees to drug and alcohol rehabilitation and psychological counseling. Will Jeffries curb his notoriously wild ways? Don't count on it. As he was led away by police after a 45-minute armed standoff, the ever-quotable Casanova told reporters: 'I killed them all! And I'll do it again! Do you hear me? I'll keep on rampaging like an unstoppable murder machine until I breathe my last breath on this accursed Earth!' Even if found not guilty, Jeffries' has more legal hurdles to clear: He still has two other trials pending, one stemming from a much-publicized fistfight with a transvestite prostitute in a Burbank alleyway in May 1999, and the other for allegedly assaulting a photographer after a night of drug-fueled partying with rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard and teen socialite Nicky Hilton at music mogul David Geffen's Aspen bungalow. He also faces a $23 million civil suit stemming from a March 2000 incident in which he allegedly kidnapped, tortured, and sodomized three Santa Monica teens. 
1	A-list Hollywood celebrities Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, considered by many to be the most important humans on the planet, walked through the lobby of the Four Seasons Hotel Monday, drawing the attention of dozens of reporters and photographers and thrilling millions of television viewers, Access Hollywood sources reported. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in their newsmaking lobby walk. Cruise, universally admired for his sly, charismatic grin and stunning good looks, and wife Kidman, who has garnered worldwide acclaim for her breathtaking beauty, were reportedly in the hotel 'for some reason' and traversed the lobby 'to exit it and leave' when Access Hollywood captured their beautiful images. 'They were definitely at the location with their actual physical persons undoubtedly present,' a statement from producers of the popular syndicated infotainment program read in part. 'Luckily, our cameras were there to verify the momentous event and broadcast it, without delay, to as many people as humanly possible.' By all reports resplendent in designer Versace ensembles, Cruise and Kidman, married in 1990 in a hush-hush Christmas Eve ceremony following a whirlwind courtship, kept their ravishing gazes fixed breathtakingly toward the floor during their brief passage from one end of the lobby to the other. They then entered the back of a waiting car and were driven away, bringing the star-studded lobby walk to an end. 'It was magical. They were in rare form, giving the revolving door just enough of a push to set it in motion, exhibiting the grace, style and poise for which they have become so renowned,' said Ellen Donahue, an unremarkable nobody who happened to be in the lobby at the time. 'And you could totally tell it was them, because of all the cameras and everything.' The gorgeous Kidman and her hunky husband set tongues wagging with their attention-grabbing lobby walk, Access Hollywood host Pat O'Brien said in a nationally televised statement. 'Hollywood's hottest real-life lovebirds were at it again yesterday,' he told viewers Tuesday, 'walking through a lobby with their unmistakable style, on their way to someplace fascinating and exciting.' Added co-host Nancy O'Dell: 'That's right, Pat, and we'll be seeing some more scintillating snippets of that fabulous footage later in the show. But first, Access Hollywood correspondent Bob Reese catches up with everybody's favorite Eight Is Enough star, Dick Van Patten.' The program then segued into a feature showcasing Van Patten and his family at a celebrity charity rollerblading event. Response to the Hollywood power couple's lobby walk has been overwhelming. Film critic Michael Medved called Cruise's confident, deliberate strideimmortalized in such blockbusters as The Color Of Money, Rain Man and A Few Good Men'a smashing return to form for Tom Terrific after the fizzle of the Stanley Kubrick box-office bomb Eyes Wide Shut.' A photo of Kidman and Cruise during the couple's headline-grabbing May 1997 walk to a restaurant. Celebrity-watchers added that Kidman, who met Cruise on the set of Days Of Thunder, more than held her own during the 15-second stroll, matching her heartthrob husband's million-megawatt star power with the grace and confidence that have earned her the respect and admiration of critics and moviegoers alike around the globe. 'It was wonderful,' said Irene Davis, a Bristol, CT, plebian who saw the couple's lobby walk on television. 'Normally I'd never have a chance to rub elbows with the likes of Tom and Nic, but thanks to Access Hollywood's exclusive, inside peek at the comings and goings of Movieland's hottest couple, I got to feel like I was right there in the lobby with them.' Despite the raves from the public, some celebrity-watchers are unimpressed with the lobby stroll. 'This was a real disappointment, coming from stars of Cruise and Kidman's magnitude,' New York Post gossip columnist Liz Smith said. 'In the past, we've seen much more impressive lobby-walks from bothdressed to the nines, waving at cameras and smiling at crowds at restaurants, gala benefits and award shows. But this time, it seemed like they were just phoning it in. Frankly, I'm unwowed.' 'The least he could have done was give a thumbs-up to the camera,' Smith added. 'C'mon, Tom... Your fans deserve more!' Nonetheless, O'Dell said, the general consensus is that Cruise and Kidman have done it again, proving that 'when it comes to walking across the surface area of a lobby floor, they're at the top of the Hollywood heap.' Cruise, currently filming Mission: Impossible 2, is expected to walk through at least three more lobbies before beginning work on Minority Report, a Steven Spielberg sci-fi thriller with a Christmas 2000 release date. And, according to Kidman publicist Lisette Rose, the Aussie actress, who is following up her buttock-baring performance in the Broadway hit The Blue Room with the psychological horror flick The Others, has 'a very busy schedule' but has not ruled out the possibility of appearing on a Rodeo Drive sidewalk 'sometime soon.' 
3	3 Simple Ways to Block the Damaging Effects of Mainstream MediaBernie Suarez Believe it or not there are several thought processes you could and should practice to essentially keep your mind free of mainstream medias poisonous lies and deceit. Anyone who believes some mainstream media news will likely find this article ridiculous, untrue, nonsense perhaps, exaggerations, or whatever. Those who think this way only do so because they are attached subconsciously to mainstream media news and the paradigm it offers them in their daily perception of the world. It feels real and your mind simply cannot fathom that mainstream media news is fabricated. Well, it is. It absolutely is, and that is why you should be noticing and asking question like why is it that all standard (big six) Western mainstream media outlets all report the same stories and all of them present the stories in the exact same way? Isnt that a bit of a coincidence? Can you see the oddity in this? When was the last time CNN disagreed with NBC on a major story narrative? Start asking yourself, how can the entire mainstream media including the newspapers and magazines like Newsweek and TIME and including politically competing networks (like NBC versus FOX) all narrate stories in the exact same manner?? In a world where we know factually that humans commonly have difficulties agreeing on anything, in this mainstream media system of controlled news there are never any disagreements. The big six private corporations that own all of the news in the United States and many regions throughout the world now, never disagree and always stay perfectly on script even when the script makes no sense and needs real-time revision. Isnt that amazing? While you are ruminating on that extremely intriguing oddity, lets get to some nice tricks you can practice everyday to clear and protect your mind from mainstream medias ambush-style lies and hypnotic deceit. These techniques will help exercise your mind in order to maintain a healthy strong mental freedom. Remember when you try these techniques you will be exercising how to remain mentally free from their enslavement. Recall that mainstream media didnt just happen one day. The mass media in the United States dates back for over two hundred years, dating back to the founding of America. Media was always a part of the plan. Fast forwarding to today, be aware that government Intelligence took control of the media as early as 1948 and even earlier. Try to appreciate the importance that media means to government and the control system, then push away any thoughts of the unrealistic argument that mass media news is all somehow coincidental and innocent honest news. If you really believe this then you are in deep trouble and need to get help. For everyone else lets get started. Here are three simple things you can do to read mainstream media news and know instantly what to make of the story and how to categorize the story in your mind before believing the story blindly just because you saw it on TV or read it in a mainstream media website, or in a newspaper or magazine. Think of this as an exercise in mental freedom. I Look at the news through the eyes of history Step number one: look at each breaking mainstream media news story through the eyes of true history instead of the artificial context in which the mainstream media presents the story. Does it fit into what we know of historical events? Or are those enforcing mainstream media narratives asking you to believe a sequence of events or a narrative that doesnt add up logically? Heres an example: The mainstream media is reporting yet another new war on terror, but historically speaking we know that the war on terror equals massive loss of liberties and freedoms, massive increases of the States power and control over you, and no real evidence of terrorism being stopped. So why then would you, in light of history, accept this piece of mainstream media news? In the bigger picture, history is a very significant tool for gauging where we are headed. As you practice these techniques you will notice your core beliefs will strengthen until finally news delivered by mainstream media will be powerless against you. You will no longer be vulnerable to artificial mainstream media contexts that allow mainstream media stories to expand in any direction that suits their long term plans perfectly. II Look at the news in light of stated goals of the State If you were captain of a ship would you ever go out to sea without a compass and a map? So why would you watch and blindly believe mass media news for what it is without gauging where you are and where this story may be going. It is very important to be aware of all stated goals of the State. In the case of today, we know factually that the government and control system is focused on getting their new world order done. They have admitted and stated this publicly and many papers have been written, illegal wars launched, and decisions and legislation has been passed consistent with these publicly stated goals of controlling the world. Believe these clearly stated goals of the State and then consider all pieces of mass media events in light of these clearly stated goals. Then try to see how the agenda fits into the goals. Remember that government is made up of people who (like you and I) have the need to organize and create plans for the future. Like everyone else, government systematically plans out its future. See how those at the highest levels of government have systematically controlled narratives to suit their stated goals of domination. Stop believing that governments and global elites put out stated goals just for fun without any meaning and significance to them. This is the world that those who are blind and lost live in. They actually believe the direction of the world and the news is all one big coincidence without any connection to it. Theyve been brainwashed into thinking that the simple and easy patterns we observe are all coincidence. This magical coincidence theory of life and news is a signature of a brainwashed state and a symptom to be avoided at all costs. III- Try to appreciate what it is media is NOT saying Like looking at something from the inside out, critically analyze mainstream media news. Focus on what it is they are not saying. Put their information through the fire then try to reconcile the reality of this non-coverage as significant and not an innocent oversight. Why should you focus on what it is the media is not telling you? Because that is a major part of critical journalism. Mainstream media has admitted that their stories are controlled by the government. They are not even hiding this fact. It is up to you, however, to critically walk yourself through the process and convince yourself why you will not blindly believe mainstream media news. These three quick and easy suggestions will help break through mainstream media hypnosis and arrive to the other side of life known as reality. Its about reshaping how you think and arming your thought process with common sense in light of known historical events and stated goals instead of being sucked in by professional powerful in your face CIA propaganda. You may think that propaganda wont get to you, but these CIA propaganda and media techniques are proven to work. They are proven to convince even the smartest of people throughout history and they will fool you too if you are not astute and watching carefully with a vigilant mind. These techniques are thus simple things you can do to be a smarter, more aware and resilient human being instead of a brain-dead zombie who absorbs mainstream media CIA lies and propaganda with every day that goes by. Keep in mind that literally as you sleep at night they are brewing new stories every single day. This is about protecting your mind and your thoughts from the outside world of deception and lies. With time you will notice as you become solidly grounded in truth and reason, that mainstream media is not even that good at shaping their lies and deceit. You will start to see the comedy and surreal nature of the whole circus known as mainstream media news. You will also see the wide disconnect mainstream media has from the actual reality of truth and reason. Once you see it this way you will notice that you are completely mentally free from fake and deceptive government-controlled mainstream media lies. That is a huge reason to celebrate. All aside, every day I personally enjoy a unique warm feeling of what I refer to as mental freedom. I wake up every single morning knowing that there is no mainstream media news that will penetrate my mind enough to alter my perception of reality in any way. I get it we are and have long been in an informational war zone, we are at war, the enemy is fighting hard and we are conscious human beings inserted into this information battlefield whose goal is human enslavement. There are no amounts of breaking news that will dramatically alter this reality I live in. I clearly understand this overall scenario, thus from one day to another my life is stable and unchanging. In this example, waking up to the news of ISIS is no big deal. ISIS is another new fake terror experiment that the Intelligence agencies have funded and armed in order to maintain their long-term plans. I get it the stated goals are clear and easy to understand. Why then would I spend extra energy actually believing that ISIS is coming for us here in America? In this example, my response to ISIS is more of a fun chuckle and my life goes completely unchanged. That is, we are still in an informational battle, the new world order is still here and the mainstream media is still the mouthpiece of this empire. Understanding these simple techniques to help shape your mental thoughts prior to hearing mainstream media breaking news will give you a mental stability that you cannot imagine. I leave the rest for you to critically think through and find ways to apply to your own life. Till then remember that life is simple not complicated. Its been said that there are two kinds of people on earth and nothing more. Those who want to control you and those that want to be left alone. Yes, life really is that simple. Once you begin to see the simplicity of all of this, you can be sure that you are beginning to taste of true freedom, mental freedom which is akin to spiritual freedom which is where true freedom actually begins. These are the foundations of physical freedom which is the freedom we tend to think of as the only kind of freedom. On the contrary, before you can truly be free you must be mentally and spiritually free. Are you making steps toward the latter? Or are you vulnerable to enslavement every day that you wake up?

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	US Struggles to Keep Asia in Dark AgeTony Cartalucci The Irrawaddy, which claims to be a leading source of reliable news, information, and analysis on Burma/Myanmar and the Southeast Asian region, has doggedly covered efforts by so-called activists to prevent the construction of dams all across Southeast Asia from Myanmar (still called by its British imperial nomenclature Burma by the Western media), across Thailand, and in Laos. Its most recent article, Thai Power Firms Business Tactics Use Burmas Weak Laws, is a typical representation of these efforts. It reports that: Having been restricted in its activities at home, the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) wants to use Burma and Laos as proxy suppliers of electricity via environmentally damaging river dams, the US-based NGO International Rivers told The Irrawaddy. Dams are undoubtedly disruptive to the surrounding, existing environment and surely governments and special interests regularly sidestep their responsibility to ensure dam construction results in equitable outcomes for surrounding human populations as well as wildlife. However, to oppose their construction entirely is a regressive, politically motivated agenda peddled by some of the most sociopolitically and environmentally destructive special interests on Earth. To understand this, one must understand what both The Irrawaddy and International Rivers have in common, and specifically why their agenda has become entwined in the battle against real development across all of Southeast Asia. US-Funded Newspapers and selfnewss Both The Irrawaddy and International Rivers are creations and perpetuations of the US State Department and several Fortune 500 corporate-financier funded foundations. These include foundations that represent the interests of corporations including Exxon, Chevron, British Petroleum (BP), Total, as well as big-finance and the World Bank. Already, it should be easy to understand why Western energy giants and financiers would be interested in arresting the development of sustainable energy independence across Southeast Asia. The Irrawaddy is literally a creation of the US State Department via its National Endowment for Democracy (NED). This is revealed in a 2006 report titled, FAILING THE PEOPLE OF BURMA? A call for a review of DFID policy on Burma, published by the Burma Campaign UK. In it, it states specifically: The NED sub-grant program also has fostered the development of three well-known Burmese media organizations. The New Era Journal, the Irrawaddy, and the Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB) radio have become critical sources of independent news and information on the struggle for democracy in Burma. NED, while claiming to be a private, nonprofit foundation dedicated to the growth and strengthening of democratic institutions around the world, has upon its board of directors (past and present) an unsavory collection of Fortune 500 representatives, pro-war Neo-Conservatives, and establishment politicians tied to some of the most regressive global agendas. These include Goldman Sachs, Boeing, Exxon, the above mentioned Brookings Institution, and many more. It is clear that this collection of special interests is not concerned with the human or environmental impact of hydroelectric energy production considering many are directly overseeing the global petroleum racket. Instead is a desire in eliminating both potential competitors, as well as any semblance of geopolitical independence in regions of the planet they seek to project their power into. With think tanks like Brookings drawing up battle plans for everything from the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, to decade-spanning occupations, to proxy wars against Syria and Iran, it is not difficult to understand lesser forms of projecting power through co-opted NGOs masquerading under the guise of environmentalism and social activism, are also amongst their tools. International Rivers, over the years, has been funded by the following; The Sigrid Rausing Trust, Tides Foundation, Google, Open Society, the Ford Foundation, to name a few. Many of those contributing to International Rivers, are themselves creations of corporate-financier interests. Direct sponsors, such as the Sigrid Rausing Trust, Ford Foundation, and Open Society, are also involved in funding policy think tanks such as the Brookings Institution a pro-war, pro-corporate conglomeration that features alongside the Sigrid Rausing Trust as donors (.pdf), banking empires including JP Morgan, Bank of America, and Barclays Bank, big-oil interests including Exxon, Chevron, Shell, and Statoil, as well as big-defense corporations Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon, In fact, International Rivers makes a very interesting point that frames Americas war on Asian dams perfectly. Under Banks and Dam Builders it claims: Traditionally, the World Bank Group has been the most important financier of large dams. For decades, the World Bank funded the construction of mega-dams across the world. In recent years, however, Chinese financial institutions have taken over this role, and have triggered a new boom in global dam building. Other public sector national banks, including Brazilian banks, Thai banks, and Indian banks, have also financed an increasingly important share. And there in lies one of many problems Wall Street and London and their World Bank have with Asias dam boom their fingers arent in the pie in a region they openly seek to influence, manipulate, and even use as a collective proxy against China. The River Ruse How exactly does one go about demonizing sustainable, renewable energy production that doubles as a means of flood management and river navigation? International Rivers and the well-intentioned activist subsidiaries it dupes into propagating its regressive agenda focus on several angles to demonize hydroelectric power ranging from the plausible to the absolutely ridiculous. Upon International Rivers website filed under Our Work, one will find perhaps the most ridiculous excuse International Rivers proposes a nation should not build a dam because of Climate Change and Rivers. Citing an obscure study regarding methane producing bacteria found in virtually all permanent freshwater bodies from ponds to lakes and everything in between, International Rivers claims that dams and the reservoirs they create are contributing to global warming and therefore should not be built. Upon International Rivers Mekong Mainstream Dams page, it claims: Other excuses International Rivers uses to obstruct dam projects that will bring electricity for modern infrastructure, industry, and other necessary requirements for producing job opportunities and a better quality of life is the defense of indigenous populations and their unsustainable fishing of various rivers dwindling fish populations. In reality, a dams construction would provide the means for many of these fishing communities to switch over to more productive occupations allowing fish populations to either recover, or be relocated to areas they can be carefully managed and nursed back to healthy levels. The revival of plans to build a series of dams on the Mekong Rivers mainstream in Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand presents a serious threat to the rivers ecology and puts at risk the wellbeing of millions of people dependent on the river for food, income, transportation and a multitude of other needs. Only these people fishing and living along the rivers exist in a condition of abject poverty, trapped in a cycle of poor education, menial labor, exploitation, and dwindling natural resources being increasingly overtaxed specifically because the Mekong is not being developed as project after project is shelved as International Rivers proudly puts it, due to their regressive work. These fisheries are being plundered by people who are unable to make any other living again primarily because of the lack of real, tangible, infrastructure development along the Mekong. Real Problems, Real Solutions This is not to say there are no real issues to debate when it comes to dam construction. Governments and investors seeking to build such projects have a responsibility to both the local people and the surrounding environment to ensure that the inevitable disruption and displacement that occurs is duly compensated for and that the benefits of the dam demonstrably outweigh the inconveniences it causes before construction. Flood management, transportation, and other benefits provided by the proper, well-planned construction of dams have raised millions out of poverty and literally lit up the lives of people around the planet from the rural south in the United States during the Great Depression, all across Europe for generations, to China today. Special interests in the West, already having constructed their dams and enjoying the fruits of well-developed infrastructure and industrialization are leveraging the disparity such development has granted them over impoverished, developing nations to kick-over any attempts to catch up at least as long as that catching up isnt accomplished through Western corporations, banks, and other monopolies. A middle ground must be found between those who seek to construct dams, and those who will be affected by them. Provisions for protecting or even expanding fisheries after a dam is completed, utilizing the reservoir that will form is one way of accomplishing this. Ensuring that energy produced by the dam will lead to industrialization and local development that will provide better jobs and opportunities for local communities is another. Creating modern means of bypassing dams for improved river navigation is another way dams can demonstrably improve the lives of local communities and businesses. When a large-scale infrastructure project is ready to move from the drawing board toward breaking ground, there is much to debate about, and even potentially protest against regarding the manner in which the project is built, by whom, and to whose benefit. However, the topic of whether or not real, tangible, infrastructure development should be build should never be up for debate. It is the inherent right of all to move forward and upward. Those irrationally protesting any infrastructure project of any kind based on the tenuous arguments of disrupting the environment or unsustainable practices carried out by desperately poor people who need such projects to thrive, are the true enemies of progress, the environment, and ultimately the very people they claim to help. Local activists caught up in lies and propaganda can be forgiven for being misled, and should work to fulfill their role as a true check and balance against infrastructure development not a perpetual, irrationally obstruction to it. Organizations like International Rivers, however, cannot be forgiven. Affiliated with the planets worst socioeconomic and environmental criminals, activists the world over should ostracize and avoid them lest they be tainted too by the regressive agenda of special interests.

3	Fake CIA Agent and FOX News Terror Expert Sentenced to Prison for Lying to the Public for YearsBy Matt Agorist According to a U.S. District Attorneys Office statement, Wayne Shelby Simmons of Annapolis, Maryland, was sentenced in a U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia. Wayne Simmons is a fraud, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Maryland, Dana Boente, flatly stated. Simmons has no military or intelligence background, or any skills relevant to the positions he attained through his fraud. U.S. District Judge T. S. Ellis III also ordered Simmons to serve three years of supervised release, pay restitution, and to forfeit two firearms and $176,000 in criminal proceeds. Simmons had previously listed himself as a CIA operative, and had appeared as a guest contributor since April 2003 under that assumed role. Reuters noted a grand jury indicted the former FOX News contributor in October for fraudulently posing as an Outside Paramilitary Special Operations Officer for the Central Intelligence Agency for decades from 1973 until 2000. Accordingto the statement, Simmons jobs during that period had nothing at all to do with the CIA. This FOX News expertsprevious jobs included nightclub doorman, bookie, manager of a rent-by-the-hour hot tub business, mortgage broker and defensive back for the National Football Leagues New Orleans Saints. Simmons didnt just fool the fools at FOX News either. The US government sought out this former doormans expertise as well. According to the statement, Simmons defrauded the government in 2008 when he got work as a team leader in an Army program, and again in 2010 when he was deployed to Afghanistan as an intelligence adviser. He said he made similar false statements in a 2009 bid to get work with the State Departments Worldwide Protective Service, according to Reuters. Not only did Simmons dupe the government and FOX into believing he was an expert, he also managed to hide the fact that he was a two-time convicted felon, claiming the convictions were part of his CIA cover. While the ideaof FOX News and the government allowing him to make fools out of Bill OReilly, Sean Hannity, Andrew Napolitano, Neil Cavuto, everyone at Fox Friends, and the CIA for over a decade is laughable, the utter hate, lies, and warmongering that spewed from this mans mouth was anything but humorous. During an interview with Neil Cavuto last year, Simmons falsely asserted that at least 19 paramilitary Muslim training facilities were currently operating in the U.S. to conduct terrorist activities. Simmons credited another FOX News guest contributor, Ryan Mauro, as the source of his erroneous information. As the national security analyst at the Clarion Project, Mauros brand of Islamophobia falls right in line with Simmons. In a later interview with Cavuto, Simmons called for law enforcement to violate civil liberties and start racially profiling at American mosques. Simmons told Cavuto, The mosques are the breeding ground. We know they are breeding grounds for terrorism, for fundraising. After former CIA case officer, John Kiriakou exposed the governments torture program in 2007, Simmons justified the use of torture on a radio show hosted by Judge Andrew Napolitano and Brian Kilmeade. After rationalizing the destruction of the 92 videotapes that recorded enhanced interrogations, Simmons refused to admit that waterboarding is torture. During an interview with Fox Friends, Simmons falsely accused then-Senator John Kerry of publicly calling our soldiers/sailors/marines murderers and terrorists. Although FOX News anchor Greg Kelly repeatedly attempted to correct Simmons and even read Kerrys exact quote to Simmons, the phony CIA agent refused to take back his lie. Ironically, Simmons contributed to a FOX News report in 2007 about a former FBI and CIA agent found guilty of fraud and stealing secrets. During the report, Simmons stated, Somewhere along the line of course, Douglas, someone, whoever was responsible for the background check at the FBI really, really fell down. Simmons added, This has exposed the raw nerve, if you will, of a flaw in the background check, and without a background check, without knowing who were hiring, and who we are employing to protect our nation, we are in big, big trouble. Previously convicted for a crime of violence and firearms offenses, Simmons was able to acquire a security clearance because of the incompetence behind FOX News and the federal government. Responsible for spreading disinformation and his Islamophobic agenda for over a dozen years, Simmons was finally sentenced on Friday. However, his sentence is certainly lax considering the maximum he was facing and the damage hes done. One thing is certain, however, and that is the fact that FOX News and the federal government will most certainly not attempt to reverse any of said damage as it helped them to accomplish their divisive and hateful agenda.

Follow @MattAgorist Or he really was a CIA operative and he said something he shouldnt have and was thrown to the wolves. That is more like it. Like Kennedy said before he was killed. He wanted to diban the CIA because they were no more than a rogue organization that does their own wet work.,in other words a Criminal organization. Formal CIA agents differ from CIA operatives. Operatives for the CIA have jobs of all different kinds. Simmons could have been an operative for the CIA. if not, he did a good job of mimicking their pathological thought patterns. Semantics aside (yes I do realize there is a difference between an agent, an asset and an operative, and that is not important here), all I was saying is there is probably more to this than we are being told. The official story here defies logic. Agreed, details are overlooked by your subtle implication. I think THAT is far more believable It took decades to discover he was a fraud? Well I guess if the head of the FBI goes on national t.v. and tells the world for almost fifteen minutes that yes Hillary did break the law, expose national security secrets to anyone in the world but that no one in their right mind would prosecute her.well, sure why not. Lets go with it took decades. Oh and while .gov is shoving sh*t down your throats lets go with another fantasy that is so fantastic and unreal that it has to be believed. ok here we go. once upon a time there were these 19 bad guys from a far off land that never flew a single engine plane took control of three highly advanced aircraft that takes hundreds of hours to learn to fly and flew them around the country where ever they wanted for over an hour while never being able to be stopped by the most advanced military that will scramble jets if an aircraft is unresponsive or off course for more than a few minutes`and these 19 bad guys flew these planes and made maneuvers that are impossible for this type of aircraft to perform and these bad guys flew these planes into these big buildings, buildings that were designed to take multiple aircraft hits.andandwell just take our word for it. Because .gov would never ever lie to the American people, everit even says we cant, right hereoh well, it says it somewhere, trust us. This is what FOX invites Liars. No? arent all Fox experts and all terrorism experts frauds? perhaps not. Considering the accuracy of Steve Kings comment, below, CIA and FBI eats its own when it suits their needs, we cant be sure that Simmons was NOT an operative of the CIA. Just consider what happened to PfC Manning, Julian Assange and Edward Snowden for revealing the truth. Hillary Rodham (Clinton) committed treason in 1974 as member of the Impeach Nixon Committee, for which she has not been punished. Consider her activites as Sec. of State and illegal use of a private server, plus the international money-washing she is alleged to have done via the Clinton Foundation. The US DOJ finds no fault with Hitlary Clintons use of a personal server for several years, yet a marines career is challenged for much lesser activity. More info at the article entitled, What did I do that Hillary didnt do? Hero Marine punished for sending classified email to save lives But American politicians remain free and have been lying to the public for years ! They do as the globalists desire. False flag, false identity president, fake news, chip implanted military, bogus democracy is any of it real? Usually Stupid Americans; land of the fraid, home of the slave. Dana Boente where fore were tho when HillBillary scooted. how did he get cuaght? CIA and FBI eats its own when it suits their needs. Lee H. Oswald, Chris Stevens and Timothy McVeigh are three examples. claimed for decades One followup phone call to verify his resume is all it would have taken Id say, Well thats FOX for you, but I know when it comes to the 1% mentality, they take everyone at face value. Thats how people are able to get away with these kinds of charades. You will surely be screened as though by the CIA if youre in the 99% and apply for some low-end labor job. Can you imagine? Getting more scrutiny from Wal-Mart. I just went through thorough scrutiny, including background check and fingerprinting to be a volunteer with the local police department so I could file, do vacation house checks, do traffic control, change batteries for people who need a locator bracelet, such as Alzheimer patients and people with brain injuries who get lost, and finding them when they are lost, loan out and install child safety seats, writing warnings for people parking in a handicap spot without a placard, and providing help in lots of other ways that allow our small police force to do investigations, helping people, and saving lives. We have 26 volunteers and 12 officers in our community. After doing inestimable damage from 2003 through present with his pro-rendition and pro-torture tirades, the Obama administration and DOJ decided to take him out due to his anti-Islamic stance. Figures. Is Fox News really that incompetent that they hire two time felons with fraudulent resumes? Simmons got two intelligence jobs from the US State and US Military more recently because of his apparent expertise. Does no one do their homework? No, we dont do our homework. Especially in electing the POTUS. But sadly, with repeated lies and fraud, I cannot in good conscience accept any news stories. Lies have become a backbone of our American culture. Wow he should ask for the hillary treatment, she has been lying to the public for decades, and never was charged. These fools have to realize that the CIA will confirm whether or not a person has worked for the CIA and dates of employment there. This is very funny! Simmons would fit right in along with Hillary as Super cons. with supposedly BEST intelligence agencies in the world. PATHETIC and COMEY proved how corrupt the agencies are not limited to those obviously. Our Government is beyond corrupt since Dems have had their hands in it Man Deborahyour comment is almost too dumb to reply to. But here goes. Yes thats it Deborahits the democrats. Youre quite rightyouve figured it out. Just elect all republicans and the world will be wonderfulthey are the good guys. How did we not find this out sooner? Craphey everyonevote republicanthe government will be all better then! Its the democrats. Only the Democrats are corrupt and owned by the machinerepublicans are just regular old joes just trying to make America great. Yup pretty much. The liberal left wing has destroyed the Democrat party. JFK probably was the last of the decent ones. He put a man on the moon Obama put a man in the ladies room She was already there until big government decided to force even more laws on us. Hey everyonethis lady named Deborah down here in the comments section told us that the democrats are corrupt and thats why we are having all these problems. We can fix thiseveryone vote republican. or maybe this is just another way to discredit fox news etc Like youd believe it if even the most damning evidence about Fox was right in front of you? Doubtful. do you trust cnn, msnbc, and any of the other news agency more? How can u discredit fake news they new he was fake that what Arent they ALL frauds?? A very good point re who owns Reuters. Could this be a fishing trip? A distraction? Both? Whatever. Have you heard of Operation Gladio? The horror. The horror. Im shocked. Maybe Cooper Anderson is next LOL. When you cant get a job at McDonalds without a background check, who can believe that Wayne Simmons wasnt vetted before he was hired? Who can believe what ANYONE on any mainstreem news channel says anyway? Smoke and Mirrors not any different than the slime in the east that extort good faith taxes for their own use. manager of a rent-by-the-hour hot tub business Everything about Fox phony news is a fraud. What do you expect from the premiere Marxist mouth piece for the fascist theocracy of Apartheid israel? 
1	Noting with evident resentment how he just breezes through life, local sources told reporters Monday that Howard Preston, 33, seemingly coasts by solely on his good looks, tireless work ethic, and extensive real estate law expertise. Look at that prick; I guess when you have a chiseled physique, the stamina to put in back-to-back 90-hour work weeks, and a wide-ranging knowledge of Virginia zoning codes, everything just gets served to you on a silver platter, said Daniel Husted, 38, adding that Preston acts like he deserves the advantages afforded by his 1,000-watt smile, respected local legal practice built from the ground up, rigorous three-year law school education, and gorgeous natural blond hair. Guess what, buddy? Not everyone can skate by on an abiding commitment to self-discipline, a scholarly passion for justice, and a pair of shining baby-blue eyes. God, the luck and unrelenting dedication of some people! Sources further noted that Prestons wife, Jessica, probably only married him because hes handsome, has a stable, well-paying job, is unfailingly kind, and selflessly devotes himself to building a long-term future for his family. 
2	Ronald Reagans Son DESTROYS Obama For Snubbing Nancys Funeral President Barack Obama once again demonstrated where his priorities lie when he decided to snub the funeral of former first lady Nancy Reagan in Friday in favor of speaking at South by Southwest. Now, Michael Reagan, Ronalds son and Nancys stepson, has spoken out against the president, arguing that it seems that Barack Obama has never learned the right thing to do. It wouldve been nice if he wouldve honored Nancy and been there, but Im not surprised again, Michael commented. Imagine if Nancy were a Democrat, liberalor if Ronald Reagan was, he probably would be there. Sometimes, theres a right thing to do, Reagan continued. Whether you agree with something or not, sometimes its just the right thing to do. He just keeps on missing the ball on that one. This is two strikes for Obama, who also decided to skip out on the funeral of conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia a few weeks ago. Clearly, he could care less about the Republican leaders in this country. What do you think? Are you ready for Obama to be out of the White House for good? 
3	Canadians Protest Against Endless Wars as Western Backed Destabilization in Syria Threatens World PeaceAmir Alwani, Contributor Many observers are now humoring the possibility that the globalist dreams of a 3rd World Warmay actually come to fruition. An epic battle between good and evil is being fought right now, and if things escalate it could turn thermo-nuclear. The world is growing increasingly hostile. In these quickly evolving situations, it is useful to recall that at any moment Iran has the option to close the Strait of Hormuz, whichwould be devastating especially if in concert with the planned implosion of the worlds economy. It is also safe to assume that in such a situation the ongoing weather-wars that have ensued under the radar would likewise be ramped up. As always, truth is under constant assault. The mass of disinformation on this subject must be faced bravely if we are to have any hope of survival.Echoing many recent protests demanding a halt to this US-NATO aggression, Canadians in Halifax protested these imperial acts yesterday and outlined a few reasons why Canada should not get involved. Watch this latest news blast to hear what they had to say: Amir Alwani is a psychonaut who makes metal, electronic and hip-hop music.

3	Boston Police Department Set to Join Trend of Using Internet Surveillance TechBy Joe Wright This is being done at the federal level most egregiously with the declaration today, December 1st, that the feds have now been given the green light to hack millions of private devices with only a single warrant. It has the potential to form massive data sweeps that collect information from the many on the suspicion of the few. One of the safeguards against such federal intrusion is state and local government resistance; and while this trend of pushback is indeed developing, too many local police departments are willing to treat their their citizens as guilty until proven innocent. One of the key tools of this spreading surveillance state has been social media and Internet monitoring software. Many police departments and the federal government have taken the position that what can be found on social media is information from participants released willingly into the public domain, so its fair game for analysis. However, as just one example in California revealed, these programs are being put in place without public notice, and the instances of abuse are already mounting especially when it comes to monitoring dissent. We found no evidence in the documents of any public notice, debate, community input, or lawmaker vote about use of this invasive surveillance, the ACLU writes. And no agency produced a use policy that would limit how the tools were used and help protect civil rights and civil liberties. The ACLU reports thattools like MediaSonar, X1 Social Discovery, and Geofeediahave been marketed in ways to target protesters. The records show thatGeofeedias marketing materialsrefer to unions and activist groups as overt threats, and suggest the product can be used in ways that target activists of color. At least 13 California law enforcement agencies have used or acquired Geofeedia. (Source) [emphasis added] An announcement from the Boston PD demonstrates that they appear willing to go to a whole new level of monitoring, which goes far beyond social media and would include just about anything that appears on the Web. The Boston Globe recently reported on the capabilities of this new software that will cost taxpayers $1.4 million for the privilege of having their free speech subjected to scrutiny and their civil liberties undermined: The software would be able to search blogs, websites, chat rooms, and social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. It would provide law enforcement officials with an address of where the content was posted and allow police to create a geo-fence that would send alerts when new posts are made within an area that meets specified search criteria. (emphasis added) In addition to the troubling concept of having Big Brother looking over the shoulder of anyone typing anything anywhere on the Internet is the stated desire to establish connections between users, opening people up to guilt by association merely by finding themselves within a thread of discussion that may have drawn the attention of the alogrithmic overlord: According to department records, the proposed software will be able to collect data and alert law enforcement in near-real-time to significant or threatening social media or online open source content based on user input. The software will also be able to augment use of terms, slang, and verbiage relevant to the user, and determine relationships among various users. (emphasis added) As Kade Crockford, director of the Technology for Liberty Program at the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, correctly highlights, there is a lot of noise on the Internet and the completely innocent use of certain words and phrases can draw a target on just about anyone, while also calling into question the effectiveness of such data sweeps: Take, for example, the ways in which bomb is used, she said: That party was the bomb. There is a lot of noise on the Internet, and the vast majority of it has nothing to do with crime, she added. The Boston PD is currently in the solicitation phase of seeking this technology and has set December 5th as the date to choose a supplier. It would behoove anyone living in Boston who has concerns about the threat to their privacy and right to assembly to immediately express your demands to the Boston PD in the hope that they will pull this program before it is implemented. And for people everywhere, it is time to engage your local police and ask them point blank if they already have or plan to have this technology at their disposal. It has been shown time and time again that those who seek to undermine liberty and abuse their power rarely encourage open debate.

1	WASHINGTON, DCIn a wide-reaching relocation of U.S. citizenry, all Americans above six feet tall were asked to please move to the back Monday. 'Those fortunate enough to be blessed with stature, please step to the rear so that others may be able to see and be seen,' said Nolan Mills, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Height. 'Anyone willing to crouch or sit cross-legged on the ground is welcome to move to the front.' This is the largest measure of its kind since 1993, when U.S. citizens were asked to not block the nation's doorways. 
2	Man Claims Liberals Stopped Him From Reporting San Bernardino Muslim Murderers By Doing THIS A man reported earlier today that he saw half a dozen Muslim men who looked suspicious on the day of the shooting. The 6 men had been coming back to the same spot every other day for three weeks. He considered reporting them to the police, but didnt in fear of being called a racist. Liberals have taken political correctness too far. Not all Muslims are murderers, but it is a fact that the terrorists we face as a country are Muslim. If a man sees suspicious activity, he should be able to report it without fear of getting torn to shreds by Liberals. Do you think people should be able to report suspicious activity without the consequence of being called a racist? 
1	BAGHDADIn a private meeting with Mohammed Bahr al-Ulloum, President Bush urged the Iraqi Governing Council president to amend the recently ratified Iraqi constitution to protect the sanctity of heterosexual marriage. 'The Iraqi constitution, signed just a few short weeks ago, will usher in a new era of democratic freedom in Iraq,' Bush said. 'But there are some unlawful and unholy acts that the constitution's original drafters could not have possibly intended to protect.' Bush then told al-Ulloum he must act quickly and decisively to preserve his country's most sacred tradition. 
2	Megyn Kelly Stabs Fellow Fox News Stars In The Back, This Is Horrible Fox News Megyn Kelly and Republican candidate Donald Trump have been going head to head for some time now. The feud stems from the first Republican debate in August 2015, when Kelly asked Trump what he later deemed to be overly personal and unfair questions. Now, Kelly is going after fellow Fox News star Bill OReilly, arguing that he should have defended her more. Her comment followed an interview of Trump on The OReilly Factor. I do wish that OReilly had defended me more in his interview with Trump, she commented. I would have defended him more. Honestly? People think Im fearless. But Im human. I was not looking forward to going out on that stage and dealing with Trump if he was going to attack me. Kelly added that she felt the pressure of that and the stress of that but ultimately decided to tackle the situation head-on. She also criticized Trump for skipping the event. The result in Iowa, to the extent it damaged Trumps fortunes, as Trump believes it did, will hopefully serve as a lesson to other politicians that they bully the media at their own peril, Kelly stated. I love when they attack me personally because it means they dont have a political argument left. Now, Trump has declined to take the stage at the upcoming debate in Salt Lake City, and Kasich will also not be appearing. That means that the event slotted for next Monday has been canceled. 
3	Is Egypt On The Verge Of Engineered Civil War?Brandon Smith Our government along with European governments have gone to incredible lengths in the region in order to ensure Egyptian compliance. In the 1940s and 1950s, Britain sought to dominate the country through force of arms. The U.S. set out to buy Egypt with massive foreign aid as well as military subsidies for leaders that held pro-western views. However, it appears that in the quest for globalization, western interests now see a destabilized and violent Egypt as more useful to the grand plan. The Egyptian revolution in 2011 which highlighted what many call the Arab Spring was heavily manipulated by U.S. and European governments, but such sociopolitical engineering is still limited to the whims of the target population. No one can create a revolution or civil war out of thin air. Years or even decades of popular angst and anger has to be fostered. The citizenry must already be near the tipping point of mass dissent. Globalists do not make revolutions occur, they simply find a revolution already brewing, and then attempt to direct the preexisting energy of the populace towards an end result that benefits the establishment the most. Egypt is now ripe for internal conflict far beyond civil disobedience into the realm of Syrian-style civil war, and I believe our government is well aware that such a calamity is brewing The ousting of President Hosni Mubarak was driven in part by a distaste amongst the general Egyptian public for the U.S. governments influence over the political dichotomy of their society. U.S. funding had, in their view, given foundational support to Mubaraks reign, which had resorted to police brutality, martial law, lack of free elections, crackdowns on free speech, and corruption in order to retain control. This coupled with high unemployment and price inflation inevitably led to citizen dissent, which saw the U.S. as a staunch ally of their abusive oligarchy. After the military overthrow of the elected Mursi in recent months generated in part by the Egyptian peoples anger over western influence, our government is STILL pushing for the continuance of American tax dollars to Egypt, and, still refuses to acknowledge that the latest transition of power is by every definition a coup. http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2013-06-29/world/40269384_1_muslim-brotherhood-news-conference-competing-protests Every regime in Egypt the U.S. touches becomes subject to revolution or military overthrow. A U.S. envoy sent to discuss diplomatic ties with the new military leadership under General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi as well as other organizations was snubbed by various political groups who were furious over American support of Mubarak, Mursi, and the General. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/07/15/us-egypt-protests-idUSBRE96E01E20130715 Barack Obama has responded by making matters worse (perhaps knowingly so). Obama has tapped none other that Mr. John Bomb-Bomb-Iran McCain and civil liberties-hating Senator Lindsay Graham to be his front-men in Egypt, meeting with both the military power and the opposition in order to address the turmoil convulsing the country: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/07/30/us-egypt-protests-usa-aid-idUSBRE96T1BN20130730 I would like to point that it was also John McCain (and Joseph Lieberman) that Obama sent after the Tunisian revolution in order to bribe the new government there with promises of U.S. monetary and military aid: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/babylonbeyond/2011/02/tunisia-mccain-meets-leaders-calls-revolution-very-successful.html And, it was John McCain that was sent to meet with the Al-Qaeda controlled Syrian opposition now using U.S. funds to destabilize that country: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2013/05/27/mccain-syria/2363911/ These men are widely outspoken proponents of violent U.S. military intervention in the Middle East. They are also widely outspoken proponents of military intervention WITHIN the United States against American citizens. Politicians like McCain and Graham are middle-management power addicts with ideological ties to globalization. Sending them to Egypt to offer American assistance is like sending a pair of cloven hoofed demons to watch over a daycare center. The Egyptian public will not be amused, and maybe thats the plan The latest news indicates that the Obama Administration will be moving forward with joint U.S./Egyptian military exercises despite the coup which occurred only weeks ago. That is to say, it does not seem to matter to Obama who is actually in power in Egypt, we are going to give them money, weapons, and even military training regardless. If this is not a message to the Egyptian people that the West is never going away, I dont know what is. In the meantime, protests continue to escalate, and the current military regime has responded with violence. Officially, the White House has condemned such oppression, but U.S. money and military assistance still flows into the Sisi government, just as it always has: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/07/29/us-egypt-usa-obama-idUSBRE96S10O20130729 The Muslim Brotherhood, which is the largest and most effectively organized political movement in the country, has just had their democratically elected representative deposed. The West is rushing to support the military junta. Egypts interim government is in deadlock, and the Brotherhood refuses to recognize their authority: Its an illegitimate government, an illegitimate prime minister, an illegitimate cabinet, said Brotherhood spokesman Gehad El-Haddad. We dont recognize anyone in it. We dont even recognize their authority as representatives of the government. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/07/16/us-egypt-protests-idUSBRE96E01E20130716 Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, once the Egyptian military envoy to Saudi Arabia, has now conveniently accrued Saudi monetary support in the form of $12 billion dollars in cash, loans, and fuel. Yet another signal that could be construed by the Egyptian citizenry that Sisi is in the pocket of the West. In August 2012, the newspaper al-Tahrir also reported that Gen Sisi had strong ties with US officials on both diplomatic and military levels. He had studied in Washington, attended several military conferences there, and engaged in co-operation with regard to war games and intelligence operations in recent years: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-19256730 Mursi supporters and Muslim Brotherhood activists have responded with large scale protests. The military has reacted with force, killing several protestors and galvanizing opposition even further towards a violent methodology: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/07/20/us-egypt-protests-idUSBRE96H16820130720 The U.S. government does not necessarily need to actively engineer a crisis as they did in Libya, or Syria; all they need to do is throw money at whoever ends up in charge, and let insurgency take its natural course. But where is all of this headed? What does Egyptian chaos and civil war mean for the rest of the world? And why would the U.S. knowingly irritate an already explosive situation? A similar event occurred in 1952, when a hot revolution in Egypt overtook the pro-western monarchy of King Farouk. At that time, Great Britain dominated the Middle East as well as the global oil market. The pound sterling was considered the world reserve currency of the day (at least, the currency with the largest share of global trade), and was required in most global transactions when petroleum purchases were made. Sound familiar? Thats because the United States is in the exact same economic condition today. American hegemony over Middle Eastern oil markets is undeniable. The dollar is not only the petrodollar, but also the world reserve currency. Like Britain in the 1940s and 1950s, we too are embroiled in quagmire after quagmire in the cradle of civilization. And like Britain, we too are seeking to prop up power structures in Egypt which are destined to end in collapse and conflagration. Britains defeat in the Suez was not just a military one, but also a financial one. American and French bond holders (central banks) threatened to dump British treasuries and the pound sterling in the wake of the Egyptian revolution of 1952, which was, coincidentally, led by the Muslim Brotherhood. The sterling lost its petrodollar status over the course of several years, quickly replaced by the U.S. Greenback. Inflation of the sterling struck in the late 1960s, and from that point on, Britain remained a second tier economy. When one understands how the central banking cabal operates, the cycle of history becomes clear. The pound sterlings day was done. International bankers sought to introduce the age of the U.S. dollar. Britain (either knowingly or foolishly) set the stage for its own currency debasement. Central banks took advantage, and changed the very structure of the world with the rise of the Federal Reserve Note. Oil prices have been rising steadily ever since, and general inflation in goods and services has been slowly boiling the population alive. I believe the dollar, like the pound sterling, is being set up for a grand fall similar in nature but far more devastating, and that Egypt may yet again play a major role in this disaster. Before being overthrown, President Mursi was openly building closer ties with Iran, as well as staging possible deals with Russia to build nuclear power plants. Mursi wanted energy independence and likely mutual defense treaties. Iran (as well as Turkey) was enraged by the latest military coup. Political signals indicate that a civil war in Egypt would probably result not only in a shut down of oil shipping through the Suez Canal, but also the Straight of Hormuz if the U.S. was seen as an instigator in the event. At least 30% of the worlds oil supply would be delayed or halted as war erupted. Gasoline prices would in turn skyrocket. The U.S. dollar, already on thin ice with foreign investors (China has been dumping the dollar in bilateral trade with multiple countries since at least 2010), would come under intense scrutiny as the petro-currency, not to mention the world reserve. Enter the IMFs Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), already waiting in the wings today to overtake the dollar as the reserve mechanism, thus clearing the way for a global economic system under the control of an unelected corporate banking bureaucracy. The signs are all present. With the Egyptian military shutting out the entirety of the Muslim Brotherhood and related political groups from all government participation, and the atmosphere of the streets growing more vicious everyday, it is only a matter of time before the real shooting begins. If this does not occur before or during the U.S. joint exercises set for September of this year, I will be pleasantly surprised. When one examines the impending disaster in Egypt, it is important to avoid using a narrow lens and take into account the bigger picture. An Egyptian civil war will not ultimately be about Egypt. Rather, it will be about catalyzing the whole of the Middle East towards breakdown and drawing in larger nations in the process, including the United States. It will also be about triggering energy price increases designed to give cover to the collapse of the dollars world reserve status. If globalists within our government and within central banks allow the dollar to die today, THEY will be blamed for the collapse that follows. THEY will be painted as the villains. But, if they can create a crisis large enough, that crisis becomes the scapegoat for all other tragedies, including dollar debasement. Egypt is just one of many regions in the world where such a crisis can be fabricated. Right now, it seems to be the most opportune choice for the elites.

2	Youll Never Believe Why This Woman Was Sentenced To 25 Years For Murdering Her Rapist Tracey Grissom, a 32-year-old woman, was recently sentenced to 25 years in prison for murdering her ex-husband, after filing a last-minute plea for leniency. According to reports, Grissom murdered her ex husband in 2012 after claims that he raped her. However, jurors were not allowed to hear about these charges until last week. In fact, Juror Janice Kelley was absolutely shocked when Grissom told the courtroom her gruesome story. According to reports, Grissom suffered permanent rectal and vaginal damage from the brutal rape. According to Grissom, Hunter told her during the attack in 2010 that he would make it so that no one who ever want [her]. According to her story, she then lifted up her shirt to reveal a colostomy bag, which she now needs to wear due to her injuries. According to reports, Grissom never pressed charges for the rape because she feared that Hunter would take her life, which he had threatened. She also worried about the safety of her five-year-old daughter. She did tell police about the incident, and began receiving treatment at a hospital. According to records, Tracey received treatment for gashes to the head, multiple bruises, and binding on both her legs and arms. In March of 2012, Grissom approached her husband and shot him in the back six times. Allegedly, she had arrived there to take pictures of him as evidence that he was working after he stopped child support payments. However, Grissoms legal support claims that she lost herself to PTSD upon seeing her attacker. Her husband had been charged with rape, sodomy, unlawful imprisonment, and multiple drug-related charges. What do you think? Was Grissom justified in her actions? 
3	Gun Control Executive Orders Expected Within WeeksBy Joshua Krause White House communications director Jen Psaki told Bloomberg that within a matter of weeks, not months Obama will review the recommendations for executive orders hes been given by the Department of Justice. The DOJ is currently trying to figure out what options Obama has, which could legally circumvent Congress and survive any lawsuits that gun rights groups are sure to throw at the order. Psaki further added that gun violence is probably the issue that has touched him most personally over the course of his presidency. For now its unclear what he plans to do precisely, though he has frequently called for more thorough background checks in the past, and more recently has called for preventing people on the no-fly list from owning firearms. According to Psaki, Obama is planning a range of steps that can be taken as it relates to the people who have access to guns [and] how people gain access to guns, and that he will not be satisfied unless some kind of action is taken on firearms before the end of his term.

You can follow Joshuas reports at Facebook or on his personal Twitter. Joshuas website is Strange Danger . If they cannot keep us safe with Americans owning guns, what makes anyone think they can keep us safe without? It makes no sense at all. Not only does it not make sense, its UNCONSTITUTIONAL!! But Obama and congress do NOT care about the constitution That goes pretty much for anyone in gov all the way down to your local politicians. Youre absolutely correct. I know.which is why Washington DC needs to be CULLED and SOON!! %80 youths didnt vote %63 of adults didnt vote..i expect the numbers to be lower this election Our Senate and congress are being paid off by the lobbyist and the Rats from that little country in the Mideast that we so happily shovel money to each and every year. They cant. Its just another way of the government having total control over us one way or another. Take our guns away take our freedom away. WHAT recommendations could the DOJ possibly give this evil muslim that would circumvent our UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.?? WE the PEOPLE will not stand for it..!! Remember that a so-called law without Congress approval is no law and the states do not need to enforce it! But, since the states have borrowed hundreds of billions, theyll go along. Its time for the sovereign states to stand up for the Constitution and the people in their state! Nothing that 0bama, or any Democrat has suggested would have prevented any of the nutcases, or Jihadists from obtaining firearms and MURDERING the innocents they so brutally did. What no Liberal seems to realize, is that a gun, is nothing more than a tool to use to murder! IF in the future, some sadistic Islamic Jihadist is unable to get a gun, he will use firebombs, such as what was done in Cairo, the same day the deadly allah lovers in San Bernadino murdered 14 and shot another 31. I suppose it will be better to use Molotov Cocktails, bottles filled with gasoline thrown into theatres or whatever venue the killers desire. After all, the Molotov Cocktail is a SOCIALIST invention and as such, will be much more palatable to 0bama and his cronies on the Left. Your hysteria contributes nothing to the discourse. And NO, guns arent just for shooting people. Anyone who lives in a rural area can tell you that they need at minimum a shotgun because they need to protect their chickens and other other livestock from raccoons, coyotes and the like. You also need a gun to defend yourself should someone attack you on your land, as the cops couldnt get there in enough time and with all the insanity in cops these days, who wants to call them anyway? Yesyesyes! Even in the old Soviet Union, guns (full auto AK-47 rifles) were allowed for some people. The ELITE of Soviet society, and of course some farmers, trappers and the such. Dont blame you for leaving the Democrat Party. Whats the matter? Not Communist enough for you? Dont worry. Right after banning guns, theyll ban living in the countryside. Lets all give a warm welcome to Agenda 21!! Too bad those murdering nutcases you refer to, werent on-duty police officers, eh? Because then they would be picking people off one and people like you wouldnt give a damn about that, would you?!! It takes a severe case of cognitive dissonance not to recognize that gun-control laws will inevitably put more control over weapons into the hands of the worst, sadistic psychopaths of them all -the police! And lets stop playing dumb about the indisputable fact that the main source of all these ISIS/jihadists, Saudia Arabia, is the closest ally of Bush Sr, both Clintons and Obama and wont end until we ALL stop falling for the treadmill activism of this dems vs. repubs puppet show which keeps the 1% in power. Do I or dont I have a firearm, Obama? Not since that tragic boating accident, I bet. Lets first disarm the entire US Secret Service, and take down the White House fence , since both send a terrible message about the lack of hope in the USA. If a fence is good enough for the Obama Family, one is good enough for our southern border. Hail Mary passes and/ or End Runs can be very dangerous at times. Today O is watching NFL and greasing/cleaning his squirt gun. This is the biggest and fastest way for OBOOOOMASSS the magnificent FARCE and MUSLIM in CHIEF to statt that DREADED 3RD REVOLUTIONARY SKIRMISH ever held on AMERICAN soil . /////// Oh my. Dont forget that Obama is just a protege of Bush Sr, just like the Clintons were and still are. Business as usual with the 1%s agenda You dont have obey the Obama laws on guns they are illegally on their face, the constitution is the only law of the land and the Supreme court has ruled as such. The gun makers can tell him to stick it where the sun dont shine and if he tries to enforce those laws it is time for the American people to rise and show him who is boss. And thats why the 2nd amendment exists. He can take his exec. order and stick it. Having a gun is our right you jerky tyrant. b Too bad all those mass shooters werent on-duty police officers because then the gun-control advocates wouldnt care at all. It takes a severe case of cognitive dissonance, on the part of gun-control advocates, not to recognize that gun-control laws will inevitably put more control over weapons into the hands of the worst psychopaths of them all -namely, the police. A woman drove her car onto the sidewalk twice in Vegas last night killing one and injuring 38 more. Obama now vows to take action on what he calls Assault Cars and SUVs saying any Car or SUV with a high capacity engine and fuel tank will be banned by his executive action.. Auto makers are up in arms over his proposed ban and it has Americans flocking to local dealers to stock up on Assault Cars with high capacity engines. Lol. The selfnews Post is a name you think would not be for censoring facts about the powers that be. Well thats not the case as my earlier post seems to be scrubbed. The join the company of many other Conservative web outlets alleging truth but in fact they are infiltrated with those who know the truth and will do what ever it takes so you dont know. what ever the twit does is the wrong approach to the problem. WE DO NOT have a weapon problem. WE HAVE A THUG PROBLEM! BE sure and LET more THUGS in the USA, there STUPIDS!! Or.. Obama can just move to North Korea. That would be a win-win all around. 
3	This Graph Says It All US 2016 Recession Already Here!By David Haggith In part, the declining growth ratein GDP could be because it isharder to get as large of a percentage increase as GDP gets larger. (In the sense that it is easier to double your speed at tenmiles per hour than it is at fifty miles per hour.) However, I think it alsoreflects how, asUS nationaldebt has piled up, itsability to achieve growth has significantly diminished because of all the ballast it is carrying. The fact that it hastaken enormouslygreater stimulusto achieve these steeply diminishing returns indicates the severe drag created by this ballast. One could also blame increasing regulations; but there is one very interesting thing you cannot blame and that is taxes.We consistently achieved much higher rates of growth back in times when income tax (andespecially capital gains tax) wasmuch, much higher (both corporate and individual). So, the growth decline certainly cant be blamed on higher taxes because they arent higher. It will annoy many Im sure to see thatsignificantly lowering taxes hasnt done anything to boost the USrate of growth. We can dispel the notion for good that we are going to save our economy with anything as simple as tax breaks. Clearly we have a much more significant underlying problem that tax breaks have been unable to overcome, as they have given only temporary boosts and havegiven much less bang for the buck each time. One cannot blame free trade for this trend because the worst declines in the growth rate happened long before free trade; but one can also say that free trade certainly hasnt boosted the US rate of growth, just as lowering taxes hasnt. I think the one thing that is most consistent is the ever expanding chasm of debt that underminesour economy as we attempted to grow without paying for our growth as we went. (Expanding the debt to create stimulus in bad times, but never paying it off in good times. Acting as if debt is forever free.) Whatever the cause, the US growth rate clearlyhas become consistently getting weaker for a long time and has now reached a point whereeconomic growth is so elusive that only with extraordinarystimulus do we keep our heads barely above the waterlinethat is associated with all recessions. While the USdid not officially go into recession every time it dipped to its present level of GDP(given the three exceptions, two of which only averted recessions by extreme measures), every recession the US has had in the last seventy years started at or before the point where itdropped toitspresent level of GDP. Every single one! Recessions, of course, only get officially declared after the fact, never when they first start. By definition, an officially declared recessionrequires two consecutive quarters of declining GDP. That means recessionscan only be officially declared after bothquarters have passed and then only after numbers for the second quarter are in. Usually, they dont get declareduntil the numbers get revised, as all government reporting seems to run optimistic until revised (usuallyunder a subsequent administration). So, at the earliest, recessions are declared about seven months after they have begun. Often, they are not declared until a year or more after they began. We are practically out of them before we officially know we were in one. (And, if youre Ben Bernanke, you can be standing right in the middle of one and declare there is none in sight as far as the eye can see.) Ive maintained for years that we are still in the Great Recession. The graph shows how the first round of quantitative easing took us out of the belly of the Great Recession and back above the recessionary red line, but also howthe economy immediately dove back to therecessionary redline as that round of QE and each subsequent roundended, requiring another shot of QE to keep the economy from going under. The economy relentlesslyplunged toward the bottom every time economic stimulus ended. So, without stimulus, it is dead. The graph also shows a staggering upward line from the last round of QE because that roundwas a dosed out in continuing measures of new money (a new shot every month for a couple of years), rather than a single big hit. Noticehow the US maintained a completely steady move down toward the red line again afterthe last round of continuous quantitative easing (QE3) was terminated in the fall of2014. I want you to see that because that is exactly whatsaid would in early 2014 before the QE ended. GDP growth moved steeplydownhill ever since this steroid was removed from the economy with NO quarter that was an exception. As Ive said throughout my years of writingThe Great Recession Blog, the economy has only been kept marginally alive by repeated rounds of stimulus upon which it is utterly dependent. This graph shows that better than others Ive seen. It took repeat doses of the largest money printing in the history of the world AND the lowest interest rates ever known, applied by central banks throughout the world, just to keep the patient artificially alive. In early 2014, I predicted that, once this massive life support ended, wed find out how dead the patient really isas we sink back into the belly of the Great Recession.This graph shows that we have been sinking back into recession as steeply as we did each time QE ended, that we are now back at the level of growth that is always associated with recessions; and this time there is no QE to be offered. That is not to say that, once we go back below the red line, as we are doing, the Fed will noteat its claims of recovery by creating the most massive combination of stimulus ever seen just to keep the patient ever so slightly above the red line for a few moments more; but it is to say that the next round of QE will come to late and that no amount will be enough to do the job, which is also something I have said consistently that 1) there will be ONE more round of massive stimulus by the Federal Reserve; 2) it will be applied too late because the Fed needs to prove its recovery has worked so it will delay: and 3) it will be almost completely ineffective, stirring only the most meager bleep, no matter how great the stimulus is that is applied. Modern economists cannot see a recession coming even when it is about to poke their eyes out. You cannot beat the Law of Diminishing Returns, but modern economists at the Federal Reserve and in government and on television, dont know that because they stopped believing in economics long ago. They live in a theoretical world of make-believe. Thus, a person with no economic background (me) has to school them in their own field. There has, I believe, in the history of the world never been such a largegroup of intelligent people who look so consistently dumb in the area of their own expertise and who get soconsistently rewarded for looking asdumb as eggplants. This graph is a photograph of the utter bankruptcy of modern economicbeliefs in a debt-based economy. It is a testimony to economists failed religious belief incentral-bank stimulus and their refusal to believe in the ancient, proven Law of Diminishing Return. The rate at which the benefits of stimulus have diminished over the past decades even whilethe size of stimulus has exponentially increased shows clearly that the next round (helicopter money that is being talked about along with negative interest rates) will be the most massive application of life support the world has ever seen and, yet, will result in the patient barely recovering to a comatose state on top ofthe red line in essence, flatlining. In fact, the stimulus, while it may stir a brief heart flutter, will actually kill him to a level of death where even artificial life support can no longer make him appear to be alive. And that is why I call thisthe Year of the Epocalypse the year in which we sink unrecoverable back into the swelling belly of the Great Recession. This is the year in which the greatest rounds of stimulus that will ever be applied only manage to put our heads above the waves long enough to see the next election through. And thats a best-case scenario in light of it being an election year. Worst case scenario, the government and the Fed lose all control before the elections are over. You couldnt ask for a more consistent pattern of falling returns from exponentially greater efforts. The graph shows a relentless track into the belly of the Epocalypse round two of the Great Recession and by far the deeper round. The recovery is entirely artificial and unsustainable, and any economist who ever believed such a flamboyant disregard for true economics could succeed is riding the short bus. This graph is a testimony to their failure due to the bankruptcy of their beliefs. This is a zombie economy, and they are its priesthood. You can read more from David Haggith at his site The Great Recession Blog, where this article first appeared. The zentral (zioinist owned banks such as the unfeder reserver see the unfederal reserve act of 1913) but they use a 7 year pump and dump plan. So in 08 they started the pump (qe) and in 16 they have attempted to start the dump (usury). looks like a lot of these number co incide with the implementation of NAFTA and now the President is pushing the TPP. Nothing free about free trade. 
2	Muslim Family Refuses To Stand For The National Anthem, This Happens Immediately After According to recent reports, a family of four was forced to leave a cinema hall after they refused to stand up when the national anthem was played before the movies screening. New viral footage shows people arguing with the man who refused to stand when the anthem was played. The incident reportedly took place in a cinema hall in Kurla, Mumbai. Initially, the man refused to stand simply because he did not want to stand, but later claimed he had a problem with his knee. While he is arguing with the rest of the audience, one woman is attempting to resolve the situation. You live in India and when the national anthem is playing you say you wont stand up? a man, who was sitting in front of the family, is overheard saying in his native language. You just leave the theatre. Comejust leave. Finally, the man and his family exert the theater, and the crowd burst into applause. In fact, this man was breaking a local law, which states: Whoever intentionally prevents the singing of the Indian National Anthem or causes disturbances to any assembly engaged in such singing shall be punished with imprisonment for a term, which may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both. What do you think of this incident? Does this show the importance of standing up and respecting your country?

2	Country Stars Support The Family Of One Of The Greatest Ever After His Heartbreaking Passing Ramblin Lou Schriver has had a n integral part to the spread of country music to the mainstream. He has been a beacon of what country was and always should be. Lou was a pioneer and spread country music across America. He had tours going from Nashville to so much more of America. The great man made many appearances at the historic Grand Ole Opry and made one heck of a performance. The man is not in the Country Music hall of fame but that does not take away all he has done for the genre. Im going to name drop a few names. These names are people that Lou sponsored before they became household names. Lou sponsored Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Charley Pride, Willie Nelson, and Loretta Lynn. Those names are country royalty and I believe Lou is too. Lou presented all of these artists at local country music festivals. Lou not only was an amazing country singer but he was also an amazing family man. Lous family was included in his country band. They were the Ramblin Lou family band. Lou and his wife of 54 years had four kids who all performed in the family band. Then his 4 kids had 5 grandchildren and even they performed in the band. Lou will be deeply missed by all that he was close to even the ones he wasnt. His influence reached well beyond the few names that were listed above. Lou was an amazing man and I send my prayers to his family. Will the family band play one last time for Lou? 
2	Smug Punk Gives Lip In Courtroom So NoAccording to recent reports, a Kansas man was recently sentenced to 11 years in prison after stealing a wedding ring from a woman who was dying in her car. Danielle Zimmerman had just left Taco Bell with dinner for her family when she was struck by a fatal brain aneurysm, causing her to crash her car into the restaurants speaker. Just moments after she crashed, 21-year-old Daquantrius Johnson and his two friends approached her truck and stole everything they couldincluding the wedding ring right off of her finger. Johnsons two accomplices admitted to the act as soon as they were arrested, but Johnson denied that he was involved. Zimmerman did not die until she was in the hospital the following morning. Her husband, Kris Zimmer, claims Johnson turned a tragic even into a crime of opportunity and needs to be held accountable for his actions. Dani didnt deserve this to happen to her, he told Johnson in the court room. She was a kind and compassionate person. You disrespected Dani, me, and my family. You also disrespected your family. When you become a father, you have the responsibility to be a good role model. You set no example of that. I hope when you are released you become a more productive member of our society. I would think you would want your children to admire you, not be ashamed of you. When combined with other felony charges against him, Johnson will be serving a total of 21 years in prison for his actions. What do you think? Did this thug get exactly what he deserved? 
1	According to a report released Monday by the Professional Association of Custom Clothiers, NFL players, especially offensive linemen, generally look really weird in suits. 'The suits themselves are actually very nice, but something about NFL players' bodies just make the whole thing look very awkward,' the report read in part, adding that an aspect of the initial weirdness is that NBA players 'just look way better' in suits than NFL players do. 'And it's not that the suits don't fit correctly, either. It's hard to explain. It's just that bizarre combination of very thick necks and plump heads jutting out of common business attire that looks plain off.' The report concluded that even the quarterbacks 'look like they're wearing a costume or something.' 
2	Obama Is Humiliated After Taking Huge Shot At Trump President Obama went after Trump in an interview earlier this week. He said that Trump is exploiting the anxiety of blue-collar workers in order to gain their votes. He says that this is especially effective in a time where people are struggling with flat lining wages and incomes. You combine those things, and it means that there is going to be potential anger, frustration, fear some of it justified, but just misdirected, Obama said during the interview with NPR. I think somebody like Mr. Trump is taking advantage of that. Thats what hes exploiting during the course of his campaign. However, Obamas plan to attack Trump backfired after the focus has been shifted from Trump to Obamas economy. This situation that Trump is exploiting is the responsibility of Obama. The damage he has caused over the past 7 years is horrifying. And now he wants to not only attack Trump, but use the race card to excuse his pathetic job as Commander in Chief. Obama ended the interview by talking about ISIS. It is also important for us to keep things in perspective, and this is not an organization that can destroy the United States. This isnt a huge industrial power that can pose great risks to us institutionally or in a systematic way. Is Obama the worst president ever?

According to reports, Kazantsev represented Planned Parenthood for three months in 2013, traveling to public schools in the New York City area, and teaching students about mutual respect and self-esteem. Just one month after Kazantsevs internship ended, a New York City clinic made headlines after botching an abortion. Kazantsev has also worked as an intern for Democrat Senator and liberal extremist Kirsten Gillibrand, who has been a passionate supporter of abortion. What do you think?

2	What Obama Did After The Louisiana Flooding Will Make Your Blood Boil 11 years after Hurricane Katrina devastated Louisiana, the state is once again under water. More than 40,000 homes in the state have flooded and been evacuated. When Bush was in the White House, he was quick to show support from the state, speaking to the nation before the storm and declaring a federal state of Emergency in Louisiana at the request of the Governor. He even cut his vacation short and returned to the White House, and was on the ground days after the storm meeting with local and federal authorities. His commitment to rebuilding the state was evident when he signed legislation, committing over $52 billion to revitalize the Gulf Coast. Meanwhile, First Lady Laura Bush personally raised millions of dollars to restock and restore the areas libraries. 10 years later, Bush returned to New Orleans. This time around, Obama is too busy playing golf in Marthas Vineyard to take notice. When hes not on the course, hes on the beach, or busy tweeting about the Olympics and his new summer playlist. Oh yeah, did we mention he attended a $10,000 per couple closed-door fundraiser for Hillary Clinton? What do you think? Do we need Obama out of the White House immediately? 
2	BREAKING: Celebrities Ban Together For Total Hollywood Strike According to recent reports, a group of Hollywood liberals is threatening to organize a massive, all-round Hollywood strike unless Donald Trump steps down as president. The group describes Hollywood as the base of the entire modern American culture and claims to be speaking on behalf of all of humanity. Its about time people understood that were the ones with the power and that the president is there to serve us, not the other way a ground, a spokesperson for the group told The New York Times. Were calling for a general strike that would include every single person involved in making motion pictures in Hollywood, starting with the actors and celebrities themselves and encompassing companies in charge of making props, movie memorabilia and even souvenir shops. Sources claim Rosie ODonnell, Debra Messing, and Michael Shannon are all among the group of entertainers and activists calling for a month-long protest to stop Trump from taking his rightful position at the White House. What do you think? Is this absolutely absurd? 
1	Meteorologists at the National Weather Service announced Monday that Americans should begin preparing for perfect soup weather, which will hit many parts of the country as early as midweek. By Wednesday morning, much of the U.S. should begin seeing heavy soup weather suitable for unseasonably large portions of soup. Additionally, parts of the Northeast could see overnight temperatures drop to lows ideal for thick bisques or hearty stews. 'There are already severe soup weather patterns developing over the entire northern part of the United States,' NWS official David Reyes said while standing in front of a digital map of the U.S. emblazoned with soup-bowl icons. 'A high pressure system coming down from Canada will bring low temperatures; light, fluffy snow; and bright sunshine perfect for curling up in front of a fire with a robust potato-leek chowder.' 'The latest meteorological data suggest that we should be prepared for more than just mugs or cups of soup,' Reyes continued. 'We are looking at a weather system consistent with huge, brimming bowls of piping-hot soup that will really hit the spot.' According to meteorologists, the heavy soup front will hit hardest around lunch and dinnertime. Reyes added that the NWS was deeming it 'highly advisable' to use oyster crackers whenever possible. According to forecasters, this could be the best soup weather since the NWS started keeping records in 1909, a year in which giant pots of spicy crawdad gumbo were seen as far north as Pennsylvania. In response, health professionals have set out important wellness guidelines. Dr. Linda Naik, a spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services, said that people in affected regions should ready themselves for snuggling into the warm, woolen collars of their cable knit sweaters and throw on an old black-and-white movie before digging into steaming bowls of soup at least as thick and rich as a tomato broth. 'Exposure to these conditions can quickly result in rosy cheeks and a case of the shivers,' Naik said. 'After an extended periods of tobogganing and snowball fights, you will likely feel chilled to an extent not remediable by simple hot cocoa. So it is vital that you have the necessary fresh ingredients on hand for plenty of beef barley, clam chowder, and buttery split-pea soup.' 'Mmmm!' Naik added. Naik directed citizens to the HHS website for tips on closing one's eyes, smiling, and inhaling deeply through one's nose over a hot bowl of soup, as well as for recipes recommended for children and the elderly, who are particularly susceptible to enjoying perfect soup weather. In the wake of today's forecast, Americans seem to be taking no chances. Reports have come in from across the country of stores being completely sold out of ladles and Crock-Pots in anticipation of the looming conditions. Still, though meteorologists are predicting once-in-a-lifetime soup conditions, some citizens remain skeptical, claiming the situation has been blown far out of proportion. 'This happens every year,' Lancaster, PA contractor Dale Reardon said. 'They say we're going to get the best soup weather in 50 years and everyone gets out their bowls and spoons and cooks all day long for nothing.' Added Reardon, 'Just watch; we'll be lucky if we get even a miso cold snap.' 
3	First Ticket for Eating Fast Food While Driving?Amanda Warren Matt Turner of Alabama conscientiously drove through Marietta, Georgia last week when an officer told him, you cant just go down the road eating a hamburger. Heres where it gets creepy: the officer had been watching him eat the burger for around two miles. Turner said: The officer explained to me that he observed me eating a burger for 2 miles, he said specifically three times, you cant just go down the road eating a hamburger. Maybe I was enjoying the burger too much I needed to tone it down. I was certainly willing to do so but I didnt expect to be fined or punished. Sadly, it doesnt appear he was being sarcastic when he said, Maybe I was enjoying the burger too much I needed to tone it down. No one should live in such fear of chewing, that they cant enjoy a fry on their way home while driving safely So on what basis could a ticket like this even be written? On the ticket, the officer cited turner under Georgias distracted driving law, which is written so vaguely that it is entirely up to the officers discretion to decide if a driver is distracted or not. In the comments section of the ticket, the officer wrote eating while driving. The law says that A driver shall exercise due care in operating a motor vehicle on the highways of this state and shall not engage in any actions which shall distract such driver from the safe operation of such vehicle. Its difficult not to laugh when you hear what traffic and DUI attorney William Head told WSBTV News he found the law vague, but still hard to uphold: If this was the law, Id have to hire more attorneys because everybody does it including me Ive only seen something like this charge when theres an accident. There was no accident here so the fact that this man was charged with eating and driving is a first for me. Maybe if you had a giant pizza in both hands and you werent holding the wheel or maybe if you had a watermelon, half watermelon and you were just diving into it holding it with both hands, maybe that would be something. That scenario conjures images of Homer Simpson for me. Or, of police who routinely use all of their electronics while flying down the road like theyre operating the Starship Enterprise. But Jean-Luc Picard checked the view every now and then, and did not run people down by being distracted while driving. Although Turner will fight the ticket on February 3rd, one wonders what will happen if tickets like these are upheld. Will cops abandon their normal revenue-gathering watch posts? Will church lots, speed traps and local tavern lots be free from tire marks as cops lick their chops outside fast food joints waiting for the first one out of line who steals a french fry in motion? Will drug-sniffing dogs be trained to hit a vehicle if they smell some special sauce? Will radar guns be equipped to detect loosened sesame seeds under floor mats? Another unfortunate result of such situations, is that they give the local news too much pleasure in demonstrating to the public how best to behave in order to keep from getting beat up, locked up or even raped by police. A news anchor reenacts what happened to Turner and the quarter-pounder as well as the proper way to drive. They emphasize that the demonstration takes place in a parked car. Notice how she quotes the department (they wouldnt comment on the ticket) and says, you must exercise due care and do nothing inside your car that might make you distracted. Getting pulled over for the wrong reason was just upheld by the Supreme Court. Add to that, getting ticketed or jailed for absurd reasons and you have a great mass training in fearful submission. Its beginning to look like people will have to white-knuckle it if they dare to exercise the privilege to travel. Recently fromAmanda Warren:

[.] The company has now met with the complainants for a full day mediation hearing, and have agreed to prepare settlement papers that are due to the court by January 27. Details of the potential settlement have not been made public. Note that theres been a mediation hearing, which may have taken place before an Administrative Law Court, which basically acts as an advocate, in my opinion, during arbitration with those whom consumers sign agreements to use products or services. Have you ever read one of those agreements you sign? Maybe after reading the smart sex toy article and further researching whats going on regarding smart appliances, their EMF/RF dangers to your health, their hackable downsides plus their surveillance agenda, you may come to the realization that the advertising gimmick, a superlative adjective, smart actually renders consumers pretty dumb by their willingness to allow oneself to become a repeated victim of crime with no apparent recourse. Have you ever thought of smart technology that way? Whats on your special holiday wish list this year? Merry Christmas to all and a peaceful 2017!

3	New Bill Would Let Cops Enter Your Home Without a Warrant and Kill Your DogJoshua Krause Of course, thats not even the half of it. The police wouldnt get any bad exposure if they werent caught doing terrible things in the first place. A cursory look through a Facebook group like Copblock will give you page after page of cops being stupid, trigger happy, petty, and negligent (and those are just the links gathered from the last 24 hours). But I dont think anything has sullied the reputation of American law enforcement more than their propensity for killing dogs. For most dog owners, their pets are members of the family. They treat them like their children. To walk onto someones property and shoot their dog is like shooting their kid. And yet these cases are rarely, if ever, brought to court. Its hard enough to convict a cop for murder. To the courts, reprimanding them for killing a dog would be laughable. A recent bill being proposed in Mississippi may make it even more difficult to hold the police accountable for these crimes. Specifically, if that dog is a pit bull. If this legislation passes, then anyone in the State of Mississippi who owns a pit bull may have their homes searched by the police without a warrant. Dubbed, the Mississippi Regulation of Dangerous Dogs Act, it also grants police permission to kill your dog if certain criteria are met. If the dog is not under proper restraint when on the premises of its owner, isnt wearing any vaccination tags, and if the police have failed to peacefully subdue the dog, then they would have every right to shoot. I think the first category is the most egregious. What exactly is their definition of proper restraint? And, more importantly, what does this mean for dog owners who dont keep their pets on a leash in their backyard? I mean, how many of you reading this are dog owners, who keep their dogs kenneled or leashed at all times? Im sure some folks do, but unless your dog has a reputation for being violent or escaping, then doing so sounds kind of cruel. Leashes are for going on walks, and kennels are for going to the vet or the dog park. They shouldnt be necessary on your own property. Theyre basically saying that if you own a certain kind of dog, they have every right to enter your property, which practically guarantees that the police will have an encounter with your dog. And since most dog owners dont keep their pets restrained at all times, it practically guarantees that your dog will be killed by the police. This bill should be called The Mississippi Kill All Pit Bulls Act, but obviously that wouldnt go over to well with the public. So theyre hiding their intentions behind a facade of safety and benevolence. And dont get me started on the whole pit bull debate. I dont believe for a second that a certain breed of dog is more prone to killing people than another breed. Im sure there are certain breeds that are easier to train for that (like, I dont know, maybe the German Shepherds the police use), but pit bulls dont just attack people for no reason (at least no more than any other dog). My brother has owned a pit bull for about 5 years, and that dog has never attacked anyone. So to me, saying a domesticated dog breed is more likely to attack someone is like saying Asians are good at math, or Africans are inferior. When this flawed logic is applied to humans, we rightfully call it racism. When its applied to dogs, we start treating each breed like theyre a separate species. We forget that all domesticated dogs are from the same species (Canis lupus familiaris), and their differences are marginal at best. Granted, each breed has some slightly different genes, which makes them better suited for certain tasks, but we have the same thing with humans. Like people from Nepal who can live with less oxygen, or how Europeans are better at digesting dairy than Asians or Africans. But no sane person believes that certain human races are more prone to violence because of their genetics. This whole debate on the aggression of pit bulls is completely asinine. So what we have here is a piece of legislation that is designed to violate the rights of law-abiding citizens, gives police permission to kill their dogs without provocation, and is based on an argument that is more akin to an urban myth. In my mind, this reveals the linchpin of the police states strategy to take away our rights. When they fail to take away our collective rights in one fell swoop, they will try to whittle them away by criminalizing every community, every opinion, and every activity, one at a time, until theyve captured us all. Someday everyone will be a criminal, if they arent already. And when that day comes, theyll be at liberty to pick and choose who goes to jail, and who gets to enjoy the illusion of freedom and privacy. Welcome to the new America.

3	U.S. Government Secretly Destroyed Evidence in Trial of Accused 9/11 MastermindsBy Derrick Broze On May 11, defense lawyers for the accused mastermind of the 9/11 terror attacks asked for judge Col. James Pohl and the prosecution team to be recused from the trial, and for the case to be shut down. Defense lawyers David Nevin and Maj. Derek Poteet say that the U.S. government destroyed evidence related to the case, according to the New York Times. The two men are unable to provide further details because the issue is classified, but Mr. Nevin said the evidence was favorable to the defendants. Major Poteet also told the Times that the defense was first informed in February that Colonel Pohl would provide them with a summary of a substitute for the original, classified evidence. The defense requested Colonel Pohl to preserve the evidence for the record and Pohl complied. Or so they thought. But they learned in February, they said, that about 20 months earlier, and without their knowledge, prosecutors had obtained from Colonel Pohl a secret order that reversed his previous decision, the Times writes. By the time they found out, the government had already destroyed the evidence, giving them no opportunity to challenge the move. Major Poteet said the situation created the appearance that Colonel Pohl was colluding with the government. The Times reports that the original, now destroyed evidence, may have been related to one of several foreign black site prisons operated by the Central Intelligence Agency in Thailand, Poland, Romania, Lithuania and Afghanistan, and at a secret site at the Guantnamo base. KSM was tortured for several years at one of these sites before being transferred to the military prison at Guantnamo Bay, Cuba in 2006. The accusations are likely to delay upcoming scheduled hearings from May 30 to June 3. If there is a delay it will be latest in a long line of interruptions to this alleged pursuit of justice. Most recently, Col. Pohl canceled two weeks of hearings that were scheduled to begin on Friday, April 1st. The whole thing is really odd to me. I thought it was an April Fools joke, said Chicago defense attorney Cheryl Bormann, who was already in Washington to travel to Guantnamo this weekend to represent alleged 9/11 plot deputy Walid bin Attash. The destruction of evidence is, unfortunately, not the first controversy this trial has faced. Another conflict of interest became an issue in 2014 when the defense attorneys for Mohammed and the four alleged co-conspirators said they believed they were being spied on by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Foreign Policy reported, the FBI had secretly conducted an investigation into possible wrongdoing on the part of one or more members of the five separate defense teams (one for each defendant). Such an investigation could put defense team members in the untenable position of having to provide information to defend themselves or others against possible criminal action information that could be used against the interests of their own clients. There was also the issue of interference from outside sources during the hearings. FP continues: In January 2013, the courts audio-visual feed, visible to a small set of commission observers, was abruptly cut off by someone other than Judge Pohl; previously, Pohl was believed to be the only person with the authority to use the unique-to-Guantanamo kill-switch. Later, a clearly annoyed Pohl learned that something called the Original Classification Authority (OCA) which is likely the CIA given that most of the information subject to censorship in the case is related to the agencys rendition, detention, and interrogation program had hit the kill switch. Judge Pohl promptly cut off their privileges. In February 2013 it was revealed that listening devices were hidden within smoke detectors, possibly infringing upon attorney-client privileges. The defense also claimed their emails and work files were disappearing. Former defendant Ramzi Bin al-Shibh was also removed from the trial by the judge in an attempt to speed the process along after so many delays. However, critics argue that al-Shibh was removed because he refused to be quiet, complaining loudly of sleep deprivation. Is this trial really about truth, justice, and upholding law and order? If the military court hopes to find something close to the truth they should open the hearings to the public, end the spying on the defense team, and be transparent about the treatment of the alleged hijackers. Only by allowing the truth to be released will the wounds of 9/11 begin to heal. Derrick Broze is an investigative journalist and liberty activist. He is the Lead Investigative Reporter for selfnewsPost.com and the founder of the TheConsciousResistance.com. Follow him on Twitter. Derrick is available for interviews. This article may be freely reposted in part or in full with author attribution and source link. We have all the evidence we need on YouTube and in films such as Loose Change. We also have as evidence, Larry Silversteins speech at some investor meeting, in which he explained in detail the new design for WTC7 for which a technical meeting was held in April 2000. These conspiratorial head honchos of the neocon dual-citizen banksters their junkyard dogs of the CIAs spin doctors etc etc are leaving huge stinking piles of BS everywhere they go with their fictitious fabrication of BIG LIES the only mushrooms that will be growing off of them. is a nuclear mushroom cloud .perish the thought.. No one is surprised when these people destroy evidence that could implicate the CIA or US military in what would most likely be violations of numerous laws. However, these detainees didnt plan 911. This was a false flag attack planned by elements of US intelligence along with Israel, Saudi Arabia, maybe others too. Muslims were always going to be the patsies so there was justification for the start of the War On Terror. Many were tortured and we knew people like Cheney were hoping for some 911 confessions, even if they were false. Any evidence proving these people had nothing to do with 911 cant be allowed in the light of day either. I agree Bob. Articles like this are a re-direct, misdirection to keep the The Muslims did it scheme going. The brainwashed sheeple believe this tripe as, they cant believe that their own Gov. would do this to them. Anyone with 3 working brain cells can look at the picture of the 2nd plane just before it hit, taken from below, and see that it was NOT a standard passenger jet. No so called hijackers involved at all. Who collected the insurance from 9-11 should tell us everything we need to know. Yeah right L Silverstein is the one who should be water boarded maybe ? We are told all the time to back up our files to avoid any loss from corrupted disks etc. Good thinking and logically they might of course have a copy. What else is to be expected from a group of cowards like the CIA and the US Military. The alien/military/industrial/complex is alive and well in Guantanamo. Kill Switch has more than one meaning and reveals the low mentality of the intelligence community whose sole function is to do the bidding of the Sub-Rosa government of the USA run by the Majestic group of UFO fame which instigated the origination of the CIA. I saw yellow tape around a car wreck longer than the rubble lasted at ground zero still melting. Should this surprise anyone? Just proves how much involved the government was with 9/11 and most likely responsible themselves for the deaths of over 3,000 Americans. Unfortunately, no elites or banker elites were harmed in this atrocity. Now we cannot even bring those in our government who were responsible to justice. It was the so-called shadow government I think as the cover ups etc. have just continued under Obama the same as under Bush. In other words they are just figure head puppets and the criminals behind 9/11 will probably be like the assassins who killed JFK all those years ago and never be known to us. Whether Trump or Sanders would change anything we don`t know but under Killary the deceit will just continue and more incidents occur . It figures coming from these dirtbages. The evidence destroyed was about all the us government people responsiable for 9/11. It does not matter in any of the cases where evidence is destroyed, just look at the incident where the Israel navy boarded the ship carrying food and medicine for the Palestinians and what happened next, 19 where murdered some a point blank range how do I know this they had powder burns where the gun was pressed against the head of one 19 year old. Are you short of punctuation marks? Cause I could email you some. lol funny. They might be part of The Cabal, my good man. After all The Cabal or The Banksters (and check who owns the banks around the world) want the planet and in this case everybody who is going to support oppressed people of in this case Palestine is against The Cabal or KM. They havent been brought before ICC in The Hague by lets say Interpol for alleged killing unarmed people on that boat. Who dares to oppose Israel? AIPAC is running the US behind the curtains and US have very interesting instruments to destroy America and the rest of the world to its advantage: an Army, an Airforce and a Navy. They are already mingling in the internal affairs of USA by speaking openly in the Senate or Congress by invitation. Who owns US? Voltaire said , If you wish to know who rules you just think of who it is you cannot criticise . Thats from memory but about right and I think you have answered your own question . The Bottom Line is you cant expect the US Govt MAFIA to Arrest and bring Themselves to Justice! Thats not going to happen plus the majority of Americans are Flag Waving Sheeple who will believe anything the US Govt tells them! If the US Govt tells the Sheeple Yes we did 911but it was for our National Security the Sheeple would stop for a second and then shout Yea AmericaWe Knew You Were Looking After Our Best Interests All Along! Very strong expressed. Like it. I think thats how it is. By now, most if not all Americans, know that 9/11 had nothing to do with Muslims. Yet attack on Muslims is on the rise in the US. Thanks for this coverage, Derrick. We can only hope that with time, the whole truth of 9/1 will come out. And let the chips fall where they may. I just dont think under ANY circumstances will THEY allow us to learn the truth. Imagine what would happen if we did know for sure who did it? It`s just like the JFK killing where we ordinary mortals will never know the truth , not in our lifetimes anyway , maybe in 200 years they will know then . Derrick Brozes reporting (above) frames events and therefore the discussion within the imposed context of the governments official conspiracy theory of 19 Arab hijackers with box knives. I have never once claimed that the 19 men were responsible. Try reading my articles and see that I always use alleged. Some of us have learned to spread truth without beating people over the head or jumping straight to the numerous theories. K Hmmm The problem with all this attention focusing on the Muslims with show trials, and Saudi documents that surface 15 years later (documents never trump physical evidence in court in the real world people) 1) It wasnt Saudis dancing with joy behind the camera they set up before the attacks celebrating the towers coming down, it was Jewish Israeli Mossad Agents disguised as moving agents 2) It wasnt Saudis that went on Israeli TV to tell the world they were sent by Israel to document the event it was Jewish Israeli Mossad Agents disguised as moving agents 3)It wasnt 30+ Saudis, or any Muslims for that matter that were arrested that were arrested that day, it was , art students etc. Jewish Israeli Mossad Agents 4)It wasnt 10 Saudis in 2 white Vans with murals on the sides depicting a plane flying into the towers, with large sums of cash and explosives residue that were apprehended in NY city that day it was 5)It wasnt Saudis that for months prior to the attacks occupied the floors and exact rooms that were later struck by the planes it was Jewish Israeli Mossad Agents. Several of whom were known explosives and demolitions experts. 6)It wasnt Saudis that were seen brings pallets of unidentified boxes containing among other things primers.in those months leading up to the attacks 7)It wasnt Saudis that were publicly calling for a Pearl Harbor attack against America to justify attacking Muslim countries in the Middle East; It was it was Jewish Israeli Mossad Agents. 8) It wasnt Saudis that wrote a paper called the Project for a new American (Israeli) century which specifically called for the invasion, destruction and regime change in every single country we eventually 9)It wasnt the Saudis that had their military on full alert and 40,000 troops massed on the Palestinian border waiting to invade in the week prior to 9-11: It was Israel. 10)The overwhelming majority of the Intel received by Washington to date regarding the identity of the attackers has come from Israel. 11) It wasnt a Saudi company that was in charge of the the security at all 3 airports used by the hijackers on 9-11: it was an Israeli company with direct ties to the Mossad. The same security company which later allowed the shoe bomber to slip by. 12) No Saudis corporations were granted immunity within days of the attacks and thus blocking any further US government investigation: It was the very same Israeli security company that allowed the hijackers to board the planes at all 3 airports. 13)No ex government employees have ever come forward stating that they were blocked from investigating Saudis Arabia; Hundreds of government employees have come forward since 9-11 stating that they were threatened, harassed and sometimes terminated for trying to follow up leads pointing directly to Israeli ties to 9-11. 14)The exact office and Military unit struck and completely destroyed kill all but 2 members of the investigative unit at the Pentagon had not been investigating the Saudis, they had been investigating Israels spying activities in the US. In fact they were responsible for discovering and breaking up the Jason Pollard Spy ring 15)It was not a Saudi with above top secret clearances in Washington that owned a company that had developed and installed remote control capabilities in Boeing tankers based on the same aircraft frame that crashed into the towers: it was a dual citizen israeli named Doc Zakheims company 767s tankers which had the distinctive protrusion under the fuselage witnessed by many and observed on the films. And only a handful of airplanes in the world at the time had these fully remote control capabilities. 15) It wasnt Saudis that bought the only insurance policy covering 2 terrorist attacks on the same buildings ever issued up to that time. It was a known dual citizen zionist. A man who never missed breakfast in the towers except for the morning of 9-11. It wasnt Muslims that received warnings to stay out of the towers that day, it was Jews. 16) Both the direct and circumstantial evidence indicting Israel becomes overwhelming and definitive when you stop to consider what happened afterwards and the fact that the only country to truly benefit in the How true, all these points. In the meantime they direct US direction Eastern Europe to begin taking over country Ukraine, coordinated by Mrs. Victoria Nuland with her beloved husband) (finally a country for themselves?) and with full support of Mr. Biden and Obama plus US ambassador for the UN democrat and warmonger Mrs. Power, a person who knows everything about the misery of The Balkan War and its consequences from begin to end, a war started by US/NATO in the Nineteen-Ninetees. Thousands and thousands killed and murdered. Great post, friend. Very well researched and all forking true! Only the Jews have the gravitas to escape investigation of this attack. Sotty Rabya is just a tool. Most False Flags stand out like sore thumbs-Why? Military Intelligence will always be an oxymoron The big giveaway for mine, is using the same actors on some of these false flags? I mean really? WTF! How people can keep ignoring these things totally blows me away. Are they testing to see how stupid we really are? Well it at least goes to show the percentage of ignorance in the world. They see it happening, see the evidence, and still fail to SEE IT. Im afraid the NWO will get what they want in the end because we stand alone and isolated most of the time. Even our friends and family laugh at us when showing them the evidence Dumbed down by fear shame and guiltstarts first with the religious indoctrinations and obedience to the Holy Roman Empire invetro moves on to various hidden forms of it grade PreK-12 and 1234 College. One huge demonic lodge if you will. Spot on, Kevin! This sounds to be at least a fairer show trial, with Defense council active, than what Dzhokhar Tsarnaev got. When the justice system fails the last protection of the people from the excesses of the state are removed and a devolution to some form of police state is assured. Hasnt this be done for the national security of the United States? Yes I heard of it. The democratic United States of America ceased to exist at 1863 carried out by your military. One calls it quite simple a coup. Amen. Building 7 makes this article moot (worthless). Western nations that accepted a form of capitalism with a concentrated ownership of the means of creation of money for corrupt purposes, have been playing the useful idiot for centuries. This corruption has captured most of the world, for those who participate are playing a game they cannot win or succeed in. Until money is used only as a means of facilitation the movement of goods and services, owned by the masses, the global security system will continue to become more oppressive with even more outrageous acts against mankind until the system is locked down (solidified). The money fabricators can pull the supply in any time they wish, to anyone or group they wish. Any group outside of those that control the creation/destruction of money/credit that think they are safe are dead wrong. Building 7 makes this article moot (worthless).

The mossad (12 dancing isrealis on the van) doesnt want anyone thinking they were/are complicit. Evidence send it to China right Rudy they told us the building was coming down Guilliani. Nothing to see here, folks. Lets just move along.Islamic terrists! did 9/11. Thats ALL you need to know. USA is a De Mock Rat state USA is a De Mock Rat state The Pentagon and Mossad planned and executed the 911 attack. They killed their own citizens and the evidence; is beyond any doubt.. The recent hype of threats from Russia and China is a desperate attempts to keep the flag waving under the spell of fears, that they need Pentagon protection . followed by the 28 pages comedy congress approved, is a laughing stoke the world over. US establishment now operates like a mafia corporation, Pentagon get $1.2 T a year a third of US GDP, When a DoD and all of its branches get that much of money each year it is too big of a corporation to fail or jail and they wont abandon their quest skinning the tax payer for their greed and permanent state of wars. In other words USA is doomed to implode therefore; a war with China / Russia or both is a better direction than implosion knowing full well that the MAD mutual agreed destruction is inevitable. The world is witnessing arrogance and exceptional-ism and on your face lies on the record all over youtube. wot r u gonna do abawtit. the flag waving sheeps are behind us. When 650 congressmen acts like a dim / half-wit with regard to 911 attack, is a real telling they are either blackmailed, threatened or collectively plain stupid which is impossible 
2	BREAKING: ISIS Releases Kill List Of 8,000 American Names Shortly after a devastating attack in Orlando, FL left more than 100 Americans dead or injured, hackers affiliated with the Islamic State group have released a terrifying new kill list of 8,000 Americans.The list contains many of Floridians.According to WPEC-TV, the list was released by the United Cyber Caliphate via an encoded social media app last week. Of the thousands of names lists, 600 of them were in Florida. The group is already responsible for the hacking of the U.S. Central Command and 54,000 Twitter accounts. They have also threatened the life of President Obama.Authorities have not yet commented on whether there is a connection between the list and the attack on the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. The attack this weekend marks the most deadly terror attack on U.S. social since 9/11.Its going to create some hysteria, former FBI agent Stuart Kaplan told WPEC. When asked who he thought might appear on the list, he commented, I would suspect a head of a hospital or, perhaps, a local community leader. Those are the individuals that may appear on the listor just a local banker or local school teachersomeone who, for some reason, was in the public eye. Kaplan also claims that Islamic State-affiliated extremists could potentially use the list as a guide.If, in fact, a sympathizer gets a hold of this list and is readily able to identify you as being his neighbor, and then, decides to go out and do something horrific to you, there is no way to calculate the potential or prevent that, Kaplan concluded. Fortunately, the list has not been made public.

3	Final FDA Raid and Takeover of Morningland Raw Milk and Cheese DairyHeather Callaghan Watch the beginning of the final raid take place with a large waste dump truck ready to haul the cheese to a garbage site and remember the phrase, Im just doing my job.The families pull no punches letting the agents know of their wrongdoing. One of the agents laughs at the question Do you enjoy destroying peoples lives? How did we get here? While the Dixons were away in August 2010 when the Missouri Milk Board (MMB) called to say there was potential Listeria contamination the California Department of Food and Agriculture had gotten the cheese from the Rawesome Food raid some 55 days earlier. Inspector Don Falls said they should be back up in a couple days but his attitude turned cold when he talked to the FDA. Then the FDA leaked a nationwide recall of all the cheese which to this day has never been tested. The original testing was from the Rawesome raid with very questionable testing methods, never verified and with no accountability. Immediately, the cooler of some 35,000 pounds of cheese ($250,000 worth) was embargoed no one was to touch it agents said it wasnt worth giving to their dogs. None of the cheese even had the same batch number as the Rawesome cheese all that cheese was long gone with no complaints from the consumers. Armed agents showed up and locked it all. The agencies ordered it all dumped and destroyed, but the Dixons refused and fought to the end for freedom for the rest of us. They appealed and appealed but to no avail. Judge Dunlap had set impossible, absurd standards and clearly didnt understand milking cows. The costs of his prescription for doing business again cost hundreds of thousands not including their loss and trying to survive during the appeal. He ruled from the bench. The FDA and Milk Board would not and will never allow them to resume how is this able to happen? Big food companies like the one with the contaminated turkey that killed a lot of people resumed business as usual. Obviously, this isnt a contamination or public safety issue. One author described it as a Death by Bureaucracy saying: Very few people realize the FDA has an armed and very military aspect. They showed up at Morningland in camouflage and made a lovely impression on those able to be at the unveiling of the future of food safety FDA style. The last thing the FDA was concerned about was the truth. Don Falls lied in court as well. So we have liars, thieves, and destroyers abusing their deluded power and devastating the Dixon family, the families employed in the factory, the farms providing the milk, and all the families that relied on their goods for healthy immune systems. Company destroyed out $250,000 no compensation. Joseph Dixon summarized the fight: The state of Missouri has 6 million people from whom they draw tribute (taxes), from which they could fight us. To fight them, we had 65 cows. And the truth never seemed even to be a consideration, let alone a goal. Pete Kennedy, president of Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund wrote: The Morningland case was about FDAs agenda to restrict access to raw dairy products with the eventual goal of banning them. The agency doesnt hesitate in sacrificing a business like the Dixons in order to move its agenda along. Read about their final battle on their bloghere.

2	BREAKING: Evidence Surfaces That Could Land Obama In Prison According to recent reports, a new document released by the Center of Immigration Studies shows that nearly one million illegal immigrants have received work permits under the Obama administration. The report indicates that 927,220 illegal immigrants were provided work permits between 2009 and 2014, along with 5.5 million illegal immigrants who have received green cards. 1,200 new work permits were issued to aliens who were denied asylum, were suspected of using fraudulent documents, were stowaways, or were refused at port of entry, wrote the Director of the Center for Immigration Studies, Jessica Vaughn. She also concluded that the reports indicate that the executive branch is operating a huge parallel immigrant work authorization system outside the bounds of the laws and limits written by Congress. So what does that mean to us? This massive increase in the labor supply has occurred simultaneously with a steep drop in family incomes and a sharp rise in the number of Americans pushed out of workforce, Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama told reporters, calling for an investigation into the incident. All job gains since the recession have gone to foreign workers, while the slack labor market has depressed median family incomes almost $5,000 in that time. Sessions also claims that this kind of report proves that our government is funding outlaw behavior. What do you think? Should Obama be kicked out of the White House now? 
3	Experts Warn How Artificial Sweeteners Cause DiabetesBy Brandon Turbeville While the medical industry continues to promote artificial sweeteners as a healthy alternative to sugar, and while major food corporations insert these alternatives into food products unnecessarily, research by Professor Jennifer Kuk of York University in Toronto suggests that artificial sweeteners may actually be responsible for increased levels of type 2 diabetes and that people who consume them may have worse glucose management. See: On Diet Soda, Weight Gain And Aspartame Artificial sweeteners are used to replace sugar and the argument behind them centers around the fact that they are allegedly not digested by humans, but the recent study has demonstrated that the well-treaded claim of non-digestibility may not actually be true. In reality, research is demonstrating that gut bacteria might be able to break down artificial sweeteners but as a result, gut bacteria becomes altered and thus, a trigger for diabetes. As Professor Kuk says, our study shows individuals with obesity who consume artificial sweeteners, particularly aspartame, may have worse glucose management than those who dont take sugar substitutes. Kuks study published in Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism involved more than 3,000 adults. Kuk said, The results of the current study illustrate that aspartame consumption is associated with augmented obesity related deteriorations in glucose tolerance, in fasting glucose. Thus, more research is needed to better understand the weight-management benefits of artificial sweetener consumption over natural sugars against the potential increased diabetes risk, particularly for those with obesity. Kuk also stated that individuals who consumed artificial sweeteners in this case, aspartame or saccharin also had a slightly higher BMI and were more likely to be female. According to the Daily Mail, previous research in mice has demonstrated changes in gut bacteria that result in glucose intolerance related to saccharin consumption.

3	UK Man Quits Chemo and Beats Cancer with Cannabisselfnews Post The latest example is a young man whose attempts at traditional cancer treatments of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy failed to get rid of his stage-three bowel cancer. Cannabis oil was a last ditch effort, and it worked. As reported by the Stoke Sentinel: The use of cannabis oil to battle cancer was popularized by Rick Simpson in the 2008 documentary Run From The Cure where Simpson documented healing many different ailments using oil extracted from the female marijuana flowers. In the movie, Simpson shows DIY instructions for how to make the oil. This has led to several desperate cancer patients experimenting with the oil and seeing amazing results. Below is just one of the countless testimonials increasingly appearing on YouTube. Clearly there is enough proof that cannabis oil is having a positive effect on cancer patients. Sadly, most wait until after surgery, radiation or chemotherapy has already weakened their bodies to begin a natural therapy like marijuana extract. More Cancer patients die due to radiation and chemotherapy as it kills the good cells in their body. We are living in a symptom based society instead of looking for the root causes of cancer. Keep your body neutralized. Cancer cant grow in a neutral or base chemical makeup. That is why natural treatments are more effective. I understand that something like 75% of physicians would opt out on chemo if they had cancer! From all those medical tyrants Ive spoken with said the same thing, that they would not accept chemo depending on the type and body area with the infection. Some said theyd leave the states for treatments. Only one admitted that she would do chemo without hesitation is such a wonderful cure. She also didnt think that a blood sugar level of 50 was too low!!! In my sixties and having to see multiple doctors for my complaints. In the past twenty years or so including the VA, especially the VA, I have never encountered such stupid, inept, uncaring, greedy, selfish, so-called medical professionals in my life time and getting worse. But demanding all must go through them and their office or by prescription only crap to control us stupid sheep. There is also no communicating with these modern doctors or trying to deal with chronic pain or fatal disease because of their attitudes the laws, and their lousy training in all those liberal fascist colleges who think we dont know our own bodies and cant be trusted to treat ourselves or make our own decisions. I just read an article that Monsanto is considering going into the GMO cannibus business! Get your plants while you can and save your seeds! Also, get a trusted dealer. Big Pharma cant be far behind! Ive lost countless friends and family to cancer of various forms. One cancer doctor my mom had said all this cancer research and money collector campaigns are mostly phony and support money grabbing greedy people pretending to care. With little going to actual research or not allowed to pay for research that is promising. In my moms case he said chemo and radiation is needed, and it worked for her to live another 7 years. One of the few I have seen that junk work on. He said he rarely pushes patients into chemo because of the life ruining costs and more than likely the treatments are given to the walking dead. But of course the propaganda to win hearts and minds and force people to jump on the bandwagon for anything mainstreamish will happen and more than likely work on weaker unknowing sheep. Especially those who refuse to accept the reality of death or the reality of death plus going bankrupt in great efforts to safe someone. While making the medical health tyrants and others super wealthy. Very few make it to the magic 7 year number. Friends of mine were sick, but after beginning radiation/chemo, very quickly went downhill, turning into walking skeletons with a horrible quality of life. Two told me they regretted using it and would rather have died from the cancer (which would have been years longer). One died about a week after he told me that. Esophageal cancer. Chemo is big business. Any alternatives that show promise is quackery. Chemo kills! They only ban what works.. 
2	Ham Sandwiches Banned Because They Are Deemed Racist According to recent reports, CoExist House, an interfaith group based in the US and UK, has just demanded that offices throughout the country ban pork-based products. It would be good etiquette to avoid heating up foods that might be prohibited for people of other faiths, Andy Dinham, a University of London professor, wrote. We also say, Dont put kosher or halal and otherspecial foods next to another [food] or, God forbid, on the same plate. The request came in a list of guidelines published by the group, in anticipation of the growing Muslim refugee population. What do you think? Is this just getting ridiculous? 
3	Worldwide Water Shortage by 2040?New study concludes that water shortages may be a bigger problem than we thought. Fresh water supplies are under assault on multiple fronts. We are seeing the continuing fallout from the droughts in the Western U.S. and Brazil both are incredibly important areas to the global food supply. At the same time, corporate hoarding of fresh water is on the rise. Nestles former CEO clearly stated that water supplies should be privatized and that the right to fresh, clean water is not an essential human right. Knowing that both the climate and corporate influence are converging to restrict and/or dramatically increase the cost of fresh water, two new reports reinforce that there isnt much time left to find solutions. In fact, for an increasing number of people, water might not be available at any cost. If we keep doing business as usual, we are facing an insurmountable water shortage even if water was free, because its not a matter of the price. There will no water by 2040 if we keep doing what were doing today. Theres no time to waste. We need to act now, concludes Professor Benjamin Sovacool. (emphasis added) While it is true that wind and solar do not require cooling cycles and would reduce power consumption and overall water usage, these industries have other deficiencies, as well as being susceptible to the same level of government control and corruption. On a mass scale they are still centralized systems prone to manufactured shortages and extreme inefficiency. The reports conclusions actually wind up highlighting the problems of regulations and control, rather than making a strong case for new regulations and even more control. Perhaps it is time to quickly seek out local solutions, such as the ingenious model being developed in one of the worlds most permanently drought-stricken places: Ethiopia. Inventor Arturo Vittorini calls his device Warka Water. It is easy and fast to assemble and inexpensive. Each tower can provide 25 gallons of water per day harvesting water directly from the air. Singapore is another place that was presented with unique challenges and could be a microcosm of solutions to the greater problem. They instituted the following 4 measures, which highlight how the situation might be handled in heavily populated, modern urban environments. While these might not be permanent solutions that could apply everywhere, such measures have certainly extended the timetable for Singapore, giving them time to develop even better technological solutions with the goal of complete self-sufficiency. In another study, 1200 experts in 80 countries offered their solutions to water scarcity (read here). Predictably, many focused on regulations, mitigation of climate change, and population control, but other solutions focused on grassroots local community organization with a heavy emphasis on new technology. Water scarcity is an alarming prospect for all of us. The extended droughts, cumulative aspects of general human pollution, and corporate hoarding are just some of the challenges creating a global problem in the coming decades. With each new report coming from disparate sources, we can all at least agree upon the need for a solution. Please tell us yours in the comment section below.

1	Following up on a Sept. 20 report that there is 'something really creepy about the place,' Congress established an investigative panel Monday to find out just what's going on up at the old Parker mansion. The creepy Parker mansion. 'Old Man Parker just disappeared one day, and ever since, all sorts of strange noises have been coming from up there,' Sen. Robert Bennett (R-UT) said. 'And I heard from one of the fellas in the General Accounting Office that there's a ton of old pirate doubloons up there. We've got to go up there and check it out.' After three hours of congressional debate, it was decided that the investigative panel would consist of Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS), because he's a real leader; Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI), because he's small and good at sneaking into tight spots; and Rep. Steve Largent (R-OK), because, as a former NFL player, he's the most athletic member of Congress. After complaining long and hard about not being chosen, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) was warned repeatedly not to follow the panel up Crooked Hill to the mansion, because it was too dangerous for a girl, and she would just slow them down. 'She'd better not follow us up there,' Reed said. 'That old mansion doesn't have any lights, and there are a lot of rotten floorboards.' 'And they say,' added Reed, becoming quieter, 'you can still see strange lights up there some nights, like Old Man Parker is still up there. Or...' 'If the distinguished senator from Rhode Island is trying to scare me, it won't work,' interrupted Lott, banging his speaker's gavel. 'All that stuff about Old Man Parker's ghost is just a lot of baloney and you know it.' The exploratory committee plans to meet in the apple orchard on Friday, after Congress lets out. The group will then wait until nightfall before approaching the creepy, Victorian-style mansion. 'We have to be extra-careful not to be seen, because Mr. Clinton doesn't like us poking our noses into spooky, suspicious stuff,' Largent said. 'He says it's too dangerous for federal legislators to investigate, and that it's [FBI director Louis] Freeh's job, so we should leave well enough alone. But is Freeh gonna go investigate a haunted house?' Lott reluctantly conducts a full-scale investigation of the White House basement last October. 'There's no such thing as ghosts, anyway,' said Lott, checking the batteries in his flashlight. 'It always turns out to be marsh gas or a crazy old hobo or Sen. Joseph Biden (D-DE) in a sheet or something. Remember when we solved the Case Of The Phantom Of The Strategic Petroleum Reserves? Some phantom! It was just old [Energy Secretary] Bill Richardson's parrot mimicking an oil tanker's foghorn!' Reed then reminded Lott that he 'sure was scared' during a recent fact-finding mission to the eerie boathouse on the Potomac River. Just moments after Lott's oft-checked flashlight batteries failed, he lost his spectacles, leaving him alone in the dark with a 'giant bat' later revealed to be a loose, windblown shutter. 'I think there really might be treasure up there,' said Reed, whose home state of Rhode Island, the nation's smallest, is a place where a few Spanish pirate doubloons would go a long way. 'The Widow Adams once told me that Old Man Parker went to sea a lot in his youth, and that late one night during a big storm, she saw him bring an old sea-chest into the house. I bet it's full of gold.' 'The gold isn't the point,' Largent said. 'The point is to find out what's going on up there, and what's making those lights, and what happened to Old Man Parker. If we have to camp out all night in that place to find out, that's what we'll do.' The panel is urging Congress to increase federal funding for the expedition, which will require a length of rope, extra flashlight batteries, three bottles of grape soda, and a jackknife. As of Tuesday, the trio had collected from Congress $4.74 million and a slingshot. 'Gee,' Lott said, 'this slingshot sure will come in handy if we see Old Man Parker's ghost.' 'Or if Dianne shows up,' added Reed, needling Lott. The senate majority leader was embarrassed this spring when he fled in terror from Feinstein, whom he had mistaken for the Creature From The Congressional Library. Lott's embarrassment only grew when the California senator pulled the candlestick in the Lincoln Bedroom, revealing the secret passage that ultimately led to the solving of the case.

1	Determined to make his son's Christmas dreams come true despite financial woes, David McManus spent three hours in his garage Monday constructing a PlayStation 2 from scrap lumber and transistor-radio components. 'I can't wait to see the look on Andy's face when he unwraps this,' said McManus, lovingly painting a '2' onto the front of the handmade video-game console. 'I didn't get to sand the controllers as smoothly as I'd have liked, but still.' McManus added that he hopes he can make a 'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2' CD in time for Andy's birthday in March. 
1	Following his arrest Saturday after he unknowingly implicated himself in the 2000 slaying of his friend Susan Berman during the taping of the television documentary The Jinx, real estate heir Robert Durst reportedly muttered his intention to murder his interviewers from the HBO special while unaware he was still wearing the live microphone they had placed on him three years ago. The second Im out, Ill shoot those moviemaking pricks that put me in here, and then Ill saw apart their bodies and hide them, Durst said while in his holding cell, apparently still oblivious to the lavalier mic that has been clipped to his shirt since the April 2012 interview and which has recorded numerous incriminating statements he has made since, including the phrases Of course, theyll never find where I buried Kathie and Maybe Ill murder my brother sometime soon, too. Im going to kill the producers. Im going to kill the crew. All of them are dead just as soon as this jury finds me innocent, of course. At press time, representatives for the New York scion said he was refusing press interviews for privacy reasons. 
2	Condoleezza Rice Joins Colin Powell In MASSIVE Stand Against Hillarys Constant Lies Throughout her private email scandal, Hillary Clinton has proven time and time again that she has no qualms about lying to the American public. In her latest tale, she decided to blame Colin Powell for the entire thing. In an interview with the FBI, Clinton claimed Powell advised her to use a private email server at a dinner party in 2009. Powell said he has no recollection of doing anything like this. After being pushed by the media, he told reporters that Clintons team is simply trying to shift blame. Condoleezza Rice plays a role in this story as well. She was also at the dinner party seven years ago. Dr. Rice isnt doing any media right now, one of her staff members responded when reporters attempted to contact her. I can tell you though that she has no recollection of that conversation either. What do you think? Are you tired of Hillary lying to and manipulating the American public?

2	Jesse Ventura Goes After Chris Kyle For Millions More After Release Of American Sniper Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Venture has been making headlines for filing and winning a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the widow of Chris Kyle. The case Ventura took against Kyle was one for slander, claiming that Kyles autobiography American Sniper included a false account of a bar fight that took place in California. In the story, Kyle allegedly punched Ventura out over comments her made about the Iraq war. Ventura eventually won $1.8 million dollars in the case, taking the money from Kyles widow. Now, it appears that Ventura has set his sights on another target: publisher Harper Collins. Venturas latest court filing indicates that the publicity of the bar incident generated by the false and defamatory story about Ventura substantially increased sales of American Sniper, thereby generated millions of dollars in revenues and profits for Harper Collins. Ventura has been criticized immensely for his tactics against Kyle, and many have risen to the deceased defense. Obviously his ego has not allowed him to back down from his actions. What do you think? Is Ventura a disgrace? 
2	Nicole Kidman Just Backed Shariah Law In An Absolutely DISGUSTING Way [VIDEO] Nicole Kidman is finding herself in the middle of serious controversy after her appearance in a commercial for Etihad, a luxury airliner.

The United Arab Emirates and their airlines are well-known in our industry for their discriminatory labor practices and deplorable treatment of female employees, the organization wrote to Kidman. We urge you, on behalf of the women and girls that you spoke of so eloquently, not to play a part in promoting Etihad Airways, a company that imposes abusive labor practices on its female employees and whose sole owner is a government that stands against the very world that you imagine.

2	Josh Earnest Has A Total Meltdown After Kellyanne Destroys Him On Live TV Recently, White House spokesman Josh Earnest made the controversial claim that Trump knew the Russians were helping him win the presidency. It didnt take long for Kellyanne Conway to fire back. That is just remarkable, Conway told Fox News. That is breathtaking. I guess hes auditioning to be a political pundit after his job is over soon. That is incredibly disappointing to hear from the podium of the White House press secretary because heessentially stated that the president-elect had knowledge of this, maybe even fanned the flames. Josh Earnest was clearly outraged by Conways comments because he responded with a temper tantrum. I made the observation yesterday that Mr. Trump was obviously aware of the fact that Russia was engaged in malicious cyberactivity and that malicious cyberactivity was having a negative impact on his opponents campaign and was boosting his, he commented. I dont know exactly what source he was using. He could have been relying on news reports. Maybe somebody on Capitol Hill who had been briefed about this matter had informed him or his team about it. He then went after Conway directly, upset that she defended Trumps joke encouraging Russia to find Hillarys emails. I dont think anybody at the White House thinks its funny that an adversary of the U.S. engaged in malicious cyberactivity to destabilize our democracy, Earnest concluded. Thats not a joke. Nobody at the White House thought it was a joke. Nobody in the intelligence community thought it was a joke. Im not aware of any members of Congress in either party, briefed on this matter multiple times dating back to the summer, who thought it was a joke. What do you think of Earnests reaction? 
1	Actor and avid New York Yankees fan Billy Crystal found a way to talk about how much he loves Mickey Mantle at a charity golf event for Parkinson's disease, an ailment that had nothing to do with the slugger's eventual passing. 'Seeing that little white ball disappear over the horizon reminds me of the way Mickey used to hit 'emI mean Mickey Mantle, of course. And that reminds me of the time my father first took me to Yankee Stadium to watch Mickey play,' Crystal said to the gallery, mimicking Mantle's swing with his putter, and forcing a 14-minute stoppage in play. 'So we get to Yankee Stadium, and it's the greenest thing I have ever seengreener than all the grass at this golf course. And there in the batter's box is the great Mickey Mantleyoung, athletic, handsome, everything that I wanted to be. Anyway, I look at my father, my father looks at me, and the Mick hits one out.' Crystal then gathered himself and sank his three-foot putt, but was delayed on the following hole because, in the group ahead of him, Bob Costas was reportedly in the middle of telling the same anecdote. 
1	In an effort to provide football fans with a more immersive at-home viewing experience, officials from Fox Sports announced Friday that the network will mic up players tendons during all NFL games this season. Well have microphones on select players throughout the league so fans can hear every snap of a blown ACL or a ruptured Achilles tendon, said Fox NFL Sunday host Curt Menefee, adding that producers will be able to air the sounds of players muscle tissue tearing apart immediately after a live play. With this new addition to our coverage, youll feel like youre right there on the field for every season-ending injury. Its really the ultimate fan experience. Menefee went on to confirm that the network will also mic up sideline stretchers so viewers can hear the agonized screams of star players being carted off the field. 
2	Anderson Cooper Caught Red Handed Rigging Debate For Hillary, Immediately Gets Hit With Raw Justice Whether you support Donald Trump or not, there is one thing to be acutely aware of: just weeks after Lester Holt rigged the debate against Donald Trump, Anderson Cooper made a pathetic attempt to do the same thing. Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway spoke out after the event to criticize Cooper for accusing Trump of sexual assault. When Anderson Cooper pressed Mr. Trump on sexual assault, Donald Trump shot back and said, no, thats not what this was. These are words, Conway told Fox Friends yesterday morning. And I think theres something there, because this term sexual assault has been bandied about, and I will tell you as somebody whos worked with and certainly has in my life, as Im sure we all do, victims of sexual assault, it demeans them to equate that with this for political purposes. Of course, Conway did not go as far as to endorse the lewd comments Trump made in the newly surfaced clip from 2005. So I will first tell you that my reaction was a combination of what Gov. Pence and Melania Trump and Donald Trump have said about his comments, she continued. I too found them to be unacceptable and offensive and nobody is here to defend them, including Donald Trump. He apologized on Friday in a video post that everybody can see. Those are his words and he again repeated that last night, said that he hated it. He was embarrassed. He apologized for it, and then he also said the difference between words and actions, and talked about that very important distinction. What do you think? Did Cooper step out of line in this debate? 
1	Securities and Exchange Commission officials are calling it the strictest regulatory reform since the Great Depression: CEOs of major financial institutions will now be required to humbly shrug and smile sheepishly before accepting huge salary bonuses. The new regulation, SEC rule 206(b)-7, will reportedly target Wall Street executives who accept disgustingly bloated annual payouts, forcing them to raise and then lower their shoulders in a manner that conveys a mild degree of humility or a sense of 'Aw, shucks. Who? Me?' 'This sweeping new reform sends a clear message to fat-cat CEOs at firms like Goldman Sachs and AIG,' SEC chair Mary Schapiro said Monday. 'Never again will they be able to receive massive bonuses unless, at a minimum, they flash a gee-I-don't-think-I-should expression and say something like 'Well, all right, but only if you insist' first.' 'Mark my words,' she continued, 'The days of greedy, out-of-touch executives pocketing outrageous $40 million bonuses without acting slightly embarrassed about it are over.' The crackdown comes on the heels of Wall Street's 2010 bonus season, during which not one executive was observed to look at the floor meekly, sink his hands into his pockets, or dig his right toe awkwardly into the ground before taking his cut of the estimated $55 billion in payouts. The SEC rule stipulates that CEOs set to receive bonuses between $1 and $5 million will be required to raise their eyebrows in feigned surprise. Those who make between $5 and $10 million will have to smile uncomfortably and say, 'Yikes, that's a whole lot of simoleons,' while executives receiving more than seven figures must now audibly stammer, 'It's, you know, I mean, ha! What are you gonna do, you know?' before having the funds wired directly to an offshore bank account. CEOs making more than $50 million are legally obligated to just shut the fuck up and get the hell out of everyone's face already. 'Main Street is finally getting the payback it deserves,' Tea Party activist Mark Williams said in response to the new policy. 'Finally we'll have the satisfaction of watching these guys nervously whistle and tap their fingers on an armchair before taking billions and billions of dollars from the struggling taxpayers who made it all possible.' The SEC claims the regulation will assure Americans who lost their homes and jobs during the 2008 economic collapse that CEOs who take advantage of the public will answer for their actions, whether by scratching awkwardly behind their ear, or uttering, 'Yeah, I don't know what to tell you. Is it hot in here?' Executives found to be in violation of the new rule will be expected to apologize to the SEC within eight months of the failed shrug, pending appeals. Overly comical shoulder shrugs clearly intended to mock the new regulation will result in a $500 tax-deductible fine. Still, legislators on both sides of the aisle have registered strong disagreements. 'This doesn't go nearly far enough,' Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) said. 'Nowhere in the rule does it say that executives must maintain the shrugging pose and move their hands in an up-and-down motion so as to suggest they are weighing the cost and benefit of taking the bonus. How can we truly end Wall Street excess without that in the rule?' 'This is just another example of big government meddling with the free market,' Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) said. 'I agree CEOs should have to shrug, but dictating that the shoulders must rise at least 2 inches from a resting position is the kind of overbearing regulation that suffocates enterprise and discourages investment in America.' Addressing reporters Monday, President Obama praised the SEC's rule change, but said the regulatory body must now set stronger limits on how bankers act after they receive their bonuses. 'Making them shrug is one thing,' Obama said, 'but stopping their shameful practice of pumping their fists, high-fiving everyone in the office, and shouting 'cha-ching' immediately afterward is quite another.' 
2	Megyn Kellys ExFox News host Megyn Kelly is known for many things, both professionally and personally. Her biggest fans know that she has been cheated on in her past relationships. Some suspect that these references point to her ex-husband Dr. Dan Kendall. Now, Kendall is speaking out about the incident to clear his name. I can say with 100% certainty that I was completely faithful to Megyn, Kendall told reporters. When she made that comment about it not being in her current marriage it irritated me a bit because it seemed like she was suggesting it was me. I texted her at the time and she apologized. Kendall is a top anesthesiologist and pain management physician. He currently lives in a $2 million dollar home with his second wife and children. Kendall and Kelly divorced in 2006, in what is known as an amicable separation. I wanted a wife and she wanted a wifewe both needed someone to cook and clean and support us, Kendall continued. She needed more off a Type B husband. Sometimes with two professionals it doesnt work out, we were both working extremely hard and both excelling at what we did. Kendall claims he and Kelly are still on good terms, although they do not speak regularly. 
2	HAPPENING NOW: White House On Lock Down... First Family Goes Into Hiding According to recent reports, the Obamas Thanksgiving dinner was interrupted yesterday when a man draped in the American flag climbed over the White House fence and started sprinting toward the building. Joseph Caputo, a man from Stamford, Connecticut, reportedly jumped the fence just as the Obama family was sitting down to dinner. The event put them on lockdown, and armed Secret Service agents were required to do a sweep of the White House. Caputo was reportedly carrying a binder, although the contents remain unknown. Some believe it contained a letter to the President. In June, Caputo hosted a Facebook event to discuss possible amendments to the Constitution. I believe that in a democracy the people lead, and that we need revolution, and that parties are a useless waste of time, meant to keep us from leading our nation as we should be by distracting us with redundant and passionate debates meant to keep us bickering with one another, Caputo wrote. What do you think of Caputos actions? 
1	Lunch insiders confirmed rumors Monday that Mayonnaise and Black Forest Ham would share top billing in a highly anticipated upcoming sandwich, which sources said is still in the early stages of development. The on-bread reunion will be the first time the popular duo has teamed up since costarring in a widely acclaimed Italian grinder in 2009. Recent kitchen reports stated that the sandwich itself was almost abandoned when it appeared that a prior commitment to star in a low-budget chicken salad might have rendered Mayonnaise unavailable. Sources would not confirm rumors that Shredded Lettuce and Melted Provolone are also involved, but confirmed that, despite early interest, Ketchup just wasn't right for the project. 
3	ISIS Conveniently Develops Air Force as NATO Seeks No-Fly Zone Over SyriaBrandon Turbeville According to the mainstream press, despite being highly-trained supermen who are ten feet tall and invincible, ISIS continues to make every public relations step it takes in the wrong direction. The recent announcement that ISIS now possesses an air force is case in point. It was reported on October 17, by FOX News that ISIS could be soon taking its terror fight to the sky, after a report that former Iraqi pilots are training Islamic militants to fly captured Syrian war planes. According to the death squad friendly propaganda organization known as the Syrian Observatory For Human Rights, a number of former Iraqi air force pilots are now training ISIS fighters to fly three warplanes captured in Syria MIG 21 and MIG 23 jets in apparent preparation to launch air attacks in the Middle East region. As FOX reports, The rights group reported the planes flying over the Jarrah air base in the eastern countryside of the Syrian town of Aleppo this week. Rami Abdurrahman, director of the Observatory, said the planes have been flying at a low altitude, apparently to avoid being detected by Syrian military radar in the area. People saw the flights, they went up many times from the airport and they are flying in the skies outside the airport and coming back, the BBC reported Abdurrahman said. Abdurrahman and his SOHR organization, it should be noted, have long supported the death squads fighting against the Syrian government; and the SOHR has repeatedly acted as a propaganda outfit for NATO in its attempt to frame Assad for war crimes or paint the death squads as freedom fighters whose victory is inevitable. FOX goes on to report that ISIS is known to have seized fighter jets from at least one air base it captured from the Syrian army in the eastern Raqqa province earlier this year. Militant websites had posted pictures of fighters with the aircraft, but it was unclear if they were operational. As of right now, the U.S. militarys official word on the reports is no comment. General Lloyd Austin, head of the U.S. Military Central Command stated We dont have any operational reporting of (ISIS) flying jets in support of ISIS activity on the ground and so I cannot confirm that. And to the degree that pilots may have defected and joined the ranks of ISIS, I dont have any information on that either. The video, obtained by CNN, a thoroughly discredited news organization, particularly on the area of Syria, purports to show clear evidence that ISIS fighters do indeed have control and possession of Syrian fighter jets. That video, however, does not show those jets in the air, only a number of fighters with black al-Qaeda flags standing near them. Still, the SOHR and its associates in the mainstream press are attempting to promote the idea that ISIS not only has possession of the planes, but that they have managed to fly them. Abdurrahman stated that They went up many times from the airport and they are flying in the skies outside the airport and coming back. In addition, an entirely unconvincing video was presented as video footage of ISIS piloted airplanes landing and taking off in Syria. Conveniently, the overdramatized reports of ISIS air force capabilities come as the United States, Turkey, and the rest of NATO consider the possibility of implementing a No-Fly Zone over Syria. Interestingly enough, one of the main criticisms surrounding such a move by NATO (at least those circulating in the general discourse of the debate) was that a No-Fly Zone would be entirely ineffectual against ISIS because it would necessarily be focused on the Assad regime since ISIS does not have an air force to ground. In other words, a No-Fly Zone only harms Assad and the Syrian government. Yet, while some members of Congress and political commentators tepidly put forth the idea that ISIS has no air force and thus the implementation of a No-Fly Zone against Assad only hinders the fight against the terrorist organization, ISIS conveniently develops an air force. Such timing is scarcely coincidence. 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 manages to capture Taqba air base in Raqqa, Syria, eliminating the air defense systems in the entirety of the eastern part of the country. 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. With this in mind, one should take any reports claiming to show that ISIS is flying fighter jets over Syria with a grain of salt and a healthy dose of skepticism, if not outright disdain. When the U.S., NATO, and the GCC are ready to stop ISIS, they will stop funding and directing them. Recently from Brandon Turbeville: Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

3	US Sentencing Commission Votes Unanimously to Reduce Drug Sentences RetroactivelyPhillip Smith The move comes after the Commissions April decision to amend federal sentencing guidelines by lowering base offense levels in the guidelines Drug Quantity Table across all drug types, which should lead to lower sentences for most federal drug offenders. Todays vote means that sentencing judges can extend that reduction to people currently serving drug sentences. This amendment received unanimous support from Commissioners because it is a measured approach, said Judge Patti Saris, chair of the Commission. It reduces prison costs and populations and responds to statutory and guidelines changes since the drug guidelines were initially developed, while safeguarding public safety. We did it! We got full retroactivity of the drug guideline amendment, an elated Julie Stewart, president and founder ofFamilies Against Mandatory Minimums (FAMM), wrote to supporters. Because of your help, 46,000 federal drug offenders sentenced before November 1, 2014, will now be eligible to file a motion in federal court asking for a shorter sentence. The average sentence reduction for those who qualify will be two years! I am thrilled with this outcome, especially because we did it together, Stewart wrote. With your help, we generated most of the 65,000 letters the U.S. Sentencing Commission received about this issue. And more than two dozen FAMM supporters were present with me in the hearing room when the Commission voted in favor of full retroactivity. All of us were overjoyed at the result. It is not quite a done deal. Congress has until November 1 to reject the amendment to reduce drug guidelines. If it fails to act by then, federal courts could begin considering petitions for sentence reductions, but no prisoners would be released under the reductions until November 15, 2015. The delay will help to protect public safety by enabling appropriate consideration of individual petitions by judges, ensuring effective supervision of offenders upon release, and allowing for effective reentry plans, Saris said. Look for a Chronicle feature article on this ground-breaking move early next week. Phillip Smith writes for StopTheDrugWar.org where this report first appeared. 
3	A Parents Guide: What to do if your child dies after vaccinationGuidelines to Autopsy Medical Tests:Parents Immediately Should Require an Autopsy That Includes Certain Tests Introduction Over the years various medical doctors, attorneys, and parents have contacted the authors of this Guide seeking information about medical tests that could indicate a causal relationship between vaccines and their ingredients and the severe reactions in previously healthy infants, toddlers, or teenagers, many of whom succumbed after either: 1) receiving vaccination(s), or 2) experiencing protracted adverse events due to vaccines. Since these requests are coming more frequently, apparently there is a need for such information. This Guide was vetted for accuracy, including omission of relevant information needed in the attempt to determine whether a child died as a result of neurotoxins and/or hazardous chemicals in vaccines. Some are listed in Vaccine Excipient Media Summary / Excipients Included in US Licensed Vaccines: E-1 thru E-5; Vaccine-Production Media: E-6 E-7 at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website here: (Source) Another source of vaccine chemical ingredients is each vaccines package insert, which can be accessed at U.S. FDA Vaccines, Blood Biologics website here: (Source) With the current practice of injecting several multi-valent vaccines (often as many as 9 separate vaccines) into an infant or toddler during the same office visit, some recipients central nervous systems (CNS) apparently become overloaded and/or the brain suffers dramatic injury from multiple neurotoxins and other toxic chemicals crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB); others experience severe allergic reactions to one or more of the vaccine components. Encephalopathy or anaphylaxis can occur with fatal results. Conventional wisdom claims vaccines are not harmful. However, it is becoming increasingly apparent this is not the case for all recipients. The information and tests discussed in this Guide can potentially help document vaccine damage, if parents and their attorneys secure pathologists who will perform those tests. Parents should realize their gut instincts most often are correct, especially about their child whom they have been taking care of since birth. No one knows a child better than his/her mother. Ideally, parents will have documented any new health conditions their child experienced after receiving vaccinations, e.g., screaming fits, seizures, fevers, etc. That documentation will be most helpful later on. There is nothing a parent can experience that is more traumatic than the death of a child. But, when a death tragically occurs shortly after vaccination, time is of the essence. Usually, the coroner is appointed by government authorities. Parents need to know they have every right to request the pathologist perform post-mortem blood and tissue assays/analyses, and to preserve the samples and data they reveal. Parents may need an attorneys legal help and/or intervention to get the proper tests performed. Nevertheless, parents have every legal right to request an autopsy be performed, including certain tests looking for toxins, similar to what is done in drug overdose deaths. Parents also have the right to request storage of samples for future tests that are developed as new scientific discoveries are made. Grieving parents must remember this is a time to rely on loving family and friends to help provide support in their quest to ascertain the childs cause of death, which can be determined in most cases via proper post-mortem examination. Parents must remember physicians and emergency room personnel are typically not trained to recognize adverse reactions from vaccines. Therefore, it is common practice for child abuse/neglect, or Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) legal charges to be filed against parents of children who die from vaccine damage to the brain, especially if there are no visible trauma marks on the childs body. Thats when certain blood tests can be most helpful disproving such allegations. This Guide tells which tests should be performed as soon as possible after death to disprove SBS. Attorney Information Attorneys are not prepared, in most cases, to deal with vaccine damage cases. Tort law does not apply to vaccine damages. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-660) created the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program under which claims must be filed. However, the more medical documentation, e.g., post-mortem test results, attorneys can present with their clients claim, the more likely the case you file will get attention from the Special Masters of the United States Court of Federal Claims. Various post-mortem tests can disprove SBS, SIDS, etc., which this Guide discusses later. Attorneys should report the death by filing a VAERS report to the HHS athttp://vaers.hhs.gov/helpinstructions Coroner / Pathologist Information As every pathologist knows, it is important to ascertain cause of death. Chemicals, either legal drugs/medications (prescription drugs and their amounts in the body) or street drugs commonly are assayed. Since there are numerous neurotoxins, heavy metals (Hg, Al in 4 formulations), even recombinant DNA (rDNA), and industrial use chemicals in the formulation of vaccines, it should be incumbent upon the pathologist to perform extensive panels/assays of both post-mortem blood and key organ tissue samples, e.g., brain, liver, spleen, heart, and small intestine. PLOS (public library of science) online published the Ken Tsumiyama, Yumi Miyazaki, Shunichi Shiozawa paper Self-Organized Criticality Theory of Autoimmunity [1] wherein their Conclusions [indicate] Systemic autoimmunity appears to be the inevitable consequence of over-stimulating the hosts immune system by repeated immunization with antigen, to the levels that surpass systems self-organized criticality. The Tsumiyama, et al. paper contains information pathologists may find helpful. [1] http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0008382 Qiagens Sample Assay Technology is available at www.qiagen.com with ordering information, Fax numbers, and technical support phone numbers for the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, USA. Qiagen offers Gentra Puregene Handbook Second Ed. 2007For purification of archive-quality DNA from: human whole blood, bone marrow, buffy coat, buccal cells, body fluids, cultured cells, tissue, mouse tail, yeast, bacteria Infant/Toddler Vaccines Autopsy Tests Run a cytokine panel: Brain Tissue Samples Preserved as Paraffin Blocks HPV Gardasil Vaccines for Teenage Girls and Boys Each of the 3 injections contains 225 ug of aluminium hydroxyphosphate sulfate, plus sodium borate (a pesticide), andpolysorbate 80, an emulsifier linked with anaphylaxis, convulsions, collapse. Post-mortem blood and tissue findings should prevail in court if these substances were in the system at the time of death, since vaccines are one of the primary sources. Note: Children should not be given vaccinations if there is any immune response manifesting, e.g., seasonal allergies, food allergies, common cold, flu symptoms, etc. Shaken Baby Syndrome Were parents questioned about or charged with Shaken Baby Syndrome? If so, a Bone Density Test can prove/disprove SBS. See this very well documented paper regarding that. Matthew B. Seeley, JD, paper Unexplained Fractures in Infants and Child Abuse: The Case for Requiring Bone-Density Testing Before Convicting Caretakers, published in the Brigham Young University Law Review Dec. 20, 2011.

1	Responding to widespread criticism regarding its health care website, the federal government today unveiled its new, improved Obamacare program, which allows Americans to purchase health insurance after installing a software bundle contained on 35 floppy disks. I have heard the complaints about the existing website, and I can assure you that with this revised system, finding the right health care option for you and your family is as easy as loading 35 floppy disks sequentially into your disk drive and following the onscreen prompts, President Obama told reporters this morning, explaining that the nearly three dozen 3.5-inch diskettes contain all the data needed for individuals to enroll in the Health Insurance Marketplace, while noting that the updated Obamacare software is mouse-compatible and requires a 386 Pentium processor with at least 8 MB of system RAM to function properly. Just fire up MS-DOS, enter A:\>dir *.exe into the command line, and then follow the instructions to install the Obamacare batch filesit should only take four or five hours at the most. You can press F1 for help if you run into any problems. And be sure your monitors screen resolution is at 320 x 200 or it might not display properly. Obama added that the federal government hopes to have a sixCD-ROM version of the program available by 2016.

Fortunately, there are the rare few who decide to think for themselves and stand up for what they really believeoften risking their careers in the process. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are two people who have used their success as a platform for being a voice of reason against our President. According to recent reports, the two stood up for our Second Amendment rights after they had a pair of custom guns designed for their home. I built this custom pair of Cisco 1911s for Angelia Jolie and Brad Pitt, Jesse James of the famous Jesse James Firearms Unlimited told reporters. Hers is chambered in 9mm and his in .45acp. Both are hand fit from all oversize parts, making them incredibly accurate, well shooting pistols. Angelinas gun reads Mama Knows Best. What do you think? Do you support our Second Amendment rights?

1	Ross Bingham, a married, 34-year-old professional videographer, likes to think of his own past as sordid, sources revealed Monday. Ross Bingham, who has put his dark days behind him. 'I don't talk about it much, but I went through a pretty wild phase in my early 20s,' Bingham told a group of coworkers at Outreach Communications, a corporate video-production company. 'I'm lucky I straightened out, because if I'd kept heading down the path I was on, God only knows where I'd be now.' 'Those first few years after college, there were times when I was going out drinking with my friends three or four nights a week,' Bingham said. 'The low point probably came when I woke up on the couch at my friend's apartment with my coat over me as a blanket. I could barely even remember what had happened the night before. Then I realized I must've fallen asleep while we were drinking beer and watching Fletch. Kinda scary when you think about it.' Bingham characterized his living situation at the time as 'pretty out of control,' telling coworkers that they probably wouldn't even be able to comprehend how 'crazy' it was, not having been there. 'One of my roommates was a total pothead,' Bingham said. 'He'd have guys dropping by to sell him drugs, right there in our living room. I smoked a little pot myself, but I didn't care for it all that much. Drinking, now that was my vice.' Continued Bingham: 'I was working part-time at a video store, so I sometimes didn't go into work until noon or one in the afternoon. For a while there, it was 'get off work, go out and party, sleep late, and do it all again the next day.' I knew it was no way to live, but, you know, you get into a downward spiral and it's hard to crawl back out.' Bingham said his other roommate was good friends with the members of Dread Skatt, a popular local ska band, which meant that Bingham would accompany the friend to shows and social events, often staying out as late as two in the morning. 'I was pretty much living to party,' he said. 'I didn't care about anything else.' Though alcohol was his primary vice, Bingham admitted that it was not his only one: He also had a strong weakness for the opposite sex. The now-reformed Bingham went through a 'serious womanizing phase,' dating numerous women with no intention of getting into a long-term relationship. An out-of-control Bingham (left) parties long past midnight during the dark days of the early '90s. 'There was this one girl,' he said. 'I met her at a bar and we went home together. The next day, I was going to call her, but I realized I couldn't even call information to get her number because I didn't even know her last name. It's probably a good thing we didn't go all the way, or it might have turned into a pretty bad situation.' Bingham also described a 'near brush with death.' 'I was out with the guys at a nightclub one night, and I'd had a few too many tequila shots,' he said. 'I started walking to my car when I realized I was way too 'altered' to drive home, so I called a cab. If I hadn't, that could have been it for me right there. To think how close I came to meeting my maker that night, it makes me shudder.' Luckily, at 23, Bingham had a spiritual awakening and realized it was time to turn his life around. The wake-up call was the arrest of best friend and drinking partner Matthew Stackpole. 'Matt got really drunk one night and was goofing around on the walk home,' Bingham said. 'He decided to steal a 'No Parking' sign, and as he was pulling it out of the ground, a cop drove by. Matt got nailed for attempted theft of public property. Watching him stand in the harsh glare of the police lights, I realized it could have been me being handed that ticket.' Less than a month after his best friend's brush with the law, Bingham took his first steps on the road to recovery. He applied for and landed a job at Outreach Communications, where he prepares video presentations for corporations about to make initial stock offerings. He hasn't looked back since. 'Sometimes, I miss hanging out with Matt and the old gang. But I know how easy it would be to slip back into my old ways if I did,' Bingham said. 'If I knew it wouldn't lead to trouble, I'd look Matt up again. It wouldn't be too hard to find him. I hear he's a systems administrator over at Novix Consulting.'

2	WATCH: Thug Wont Shut Up, So Judge Says 2 Words That Leave Him Whimpering On The Floor [VIDEO] When this 27-year-old thug decided to pick a fight with the judge hearing his defense, he learned a very important lesson about justice. Its probably not a good idea to be arguing with someone who hold your fate in their hands. Saamir Jhaled Khaleel Kingali was representing himself in court in July for unlawful possession of a firearm. Judge Robert C. Nalley grew increasingly frustrated with him when Kingali ignored his orders to stop speaking. When Kingali refused to follow Nalleys orders, he finally ordered a court deputy to Do it. The deputy them activated a stun-cuff Kingali was wearing, administering 50,000 volts to the criminal, who quickly fell to the floor in pain. The action may seem extreme to some, but Kingali had a history of disruptive courtroom behavior, including a previous incident when he attempted to run out of the courthouse. 72-year-old Nalley was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine in a Thursday civil rights case for making the order. He is also sentenced to participate in anger-management classes, and will be required to spend a year on probation for his actions. It should be recognized that Kigali said the incident was torture and a very dehumanizing experience. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
2	What Obama Just Did To The White House Bathrooms Will Make You Absolutely SICK According to a recent announcement from President Obama, the White House will now have gender neutral bathrooms in order to ensure equality for the LGBT community. While separate bathrooms will still remain, a gender neutral bathroom will exist in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, where the majority of the White House staff works. The White House allows staff and guests to use restrooms consistent with their gender identity, which is in keeping with the administrations existing legal guidance on this issue and consistent with what is required by the executive order that took effect today for federal contractors, Jeff Tiller, a White House spokesman said of the move. The decision was made after Obamas executive order banning companies contracted by the federal government from discriminating against the LGBT community. This clear public relations move has been successful among the liberal community. It is heartening to see that, even if legislators in some states are attacking the dignity and humanity of transgender and gender non-conforming people, at least the White House is still moving in the direction of dignity and common sense, claims Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality. What do you think of Obamas announcement?

Now, over here on your right is Philadelphia, and if you follow me up over the Appalachians Ill show you where we produce our heavy industry, said orientation guide Paul Little, pausing a moment to point out the Rust Belt and Great Lakes before shepherding the group along to the Gateway Arch in St. Louis where they planned to grab a quick lunch before checking out the American West. And coming right up in front of us are 500,000 square miles of prairie. A handy trick to remember is that if you ever find yourself surrounded by hundreds of miles of flat farmland, that means youre in the center of the country, so you can just walk in any direction and youll eventually come across a city. Any questions? After finishing the tour in Barrow, AK, the 1,600 foreign-born individuals were each given a certificate of naturalization and a small American flag and left to find their way home. 
1	Area grandmother Eileen Lankford, 82, announced Tuesday that a hummingbird, which she has reported seeing on multiple occasions in the past several weeks, was back at the birdfeeder outside her kitchen window. 'My little friend was back today,' said Lankford, who has spent the past three afternoons periodically looking out the window to check if the hummingbird had returned. 'We had a very nice time together.' In a series of voicemail messages and notes to her children, Lankford informed them that the hummingbird stopped by her home at approximately 12:05 p.m. 'I was waiting around all morning, and then suddenly there he was,' Lankford said. 'I thought the little fellow would fly off right away, but no, he decided to stay for a meal.' Lankford ate a chicken salad sandwich wrapped in a napkin while watching the bird. The hummingbird Referring to the hummingbird as her 'special visitor,' Lankford said she was impressed by the bird's appetite, noting that he 'certainly liked to get his tiny beak in there.' Lankford was reportedly delighted that the hummingbird found the food to be appetizing, though she did express concern that the small creature might choke from eating so quickly. Lankford confirmed it was the same hummingbird that had made previous appearances at the feeder, claiming she recognized it by its handsomeness. 'He is quite dapper, and has such a lovely color,' Lankford said. The hummingbird sighting is only the latest in a series of events that has prompted Lankford to compose handwritten letters to her loved ones. In the past year, the grandmother of six has alerted her family members to such occasions as the blooming of the tulips, the blooming of the azaleas, the first dusting of snow, and her birthday. Although she called it 'a shame' that the hummingbird could not stay at the feeder for more than 15 minutes, the recently widowed Lankford acknowledged that the busy bird probably has a family of its own it needs to care for. 'He flaps his wings so much,' Lankford said. 'I don't know how he does it without stopping to take a nap, my goodness.' Lankford, who received the birdfeeder as a Christmas gift from her two granddaughters in 2005, said her late husband John used to fill the feeder every morning with an artificial nectar solution of water, white granulated sugar, and red food coloring. According to Lankford, a neighbor boy she hired to mow her lawn now performs the task, though on several occasions he has accidentally spilled the solution on the ground. 'I just wish he'd be a little more careful,' Lankford said. 'That food is for the hummingbirds, not the bees and the ants.' Lankford has experienced a number of other setbacks with the birdfeeder in the past few months, including mold forming inside the apparatus, and the wind blowing it to the ground. The feeder, however, sustained no permanent damage, and was able to be restored to its proper position three weeks later when Lankford's son visited to install her bedroom air conditioner. The hummingbird's appearance marks the most notable event to take place in Lankford's backyard since May, when Lankford reported seeing a cat she didn't recognize. Although the small bird has not returned since Tuesday, Lankford plans to remain stationed in the kitchen until two hours past dusk each night to ensure that she does not miss it. 'I hope he comes back again soon,' Lankford said. 'Every time I see him frolicking around, it makes me smile.' 'He's so full of life,' she added.

Simply zoom in on any point on the map, set the crosshairs, and tap the Launch button, and a Google satellite will immediately send an ASM cruise missile accurate within 5 feet, said Maps product manager Jason Murawski, adding that the feature is available on both iPhone iOS and Android operating systems, whereupon the missiles flight path can also be tracked in real time. If you need a closer look at a target, just go to Street View, which enables you to go up and down a city block and set multiple airstrike markers. You can even explore the interiors of certain buildings, should you want to attack a specific floor or section of a structure. At press time, massive explosions had been reported at a neighborhood park in Cleveland, a restaurant in Lawrenceville, NJ, and the Eiffel Tower. 
3	Police Prevent Homeless Man from Free Coding Lessons, Confiscate LaptopHeather Callaghan Patrick, who received both cheers and jeers for the move, believes in the high demand for coders and that in 8 weeks he could teach Leo by meeting with him an hour before work and giving code lessons. McConlogue overnighted a cheap laptop, included software, books, and his own Wi-Fi hotspot. He is also providing free lessons for followers of the story on journeymancourse. The Journeyman Facebook page has a big, warm fan following. After 45 days of lessons, Leo entered a hackathon with other software engineers and has an upcoming app creation. Leo was set to go on The Today Show on Wednesday. All of that changed this morning. Police arrested Leo for trespassing today, before he could begin his lesson. They have confiscated his laptop. Presumably one of his few possessions. People are frantically contacting the New York city police trying to explain the situation and they say they are doing all they can Really? Leo cant just be released? The fact that Leo has been seen in that area for four months with no problems until now could mean they just dont care he is an Internet sensation about to appear on The Today Show or it could be the huge nationwide crackdown on homeless. Or it could even be part of a bigger exploitation. Patrick is, however, imploring people to be respectful to police and says the outpouring has been a great help. Police are aware of the Facebook page and if worse comes to worse, lessons will be done from the 10th precinct jail. Anyone contacting the department or mayor should probably emphasize the return of Leos laptop. Patrickposted: A later status update talks about his plans to push for a hearing to get Leo out for The Today Show and says: 2. Focus on Leo. Hes is being taken down to Central Booking NYPD, I got to see him through the door and he saw me and forced a smile. Comment on this post and I will make sure it gets to him. This is about him. Dear Mr Mayor, your New Year resolution was to learn to code. A young man named Leo has been learning as well and was recently arrested this morning. Respectfully, please have someone look into this story as soon as possible so that he can continue studying.

2	BREAKING: Sanders Makes HUGE Announcement, May Have Just Handed Race To Trump According to recent reports, Bernie Sanders may just have unintentionally handed the presidential election to Donald Trump. In a town hall meeting with MSNBC, Sanders announced that he does not intend to tell his supporters to vote for Hillary if he does not win. Were not a movement where I can snap my fingers and say to you or to anybody else what you should do, that you should all listen to me, Sanders said when asked if he would support Clinton. You shouldnt. You make these decisions yourself. In an earlier MSNBC town hall meeting, Clinton chastised Sanders in advance, saying she didnt put down these conditions after she lost in 2008. We got to the end in June and I did not put down conditions, Clinton argued. I didnt say, You know what, if Sen. Obama does W,Y, and Z, maybe Ill support him. I said I am supporting Sen. Obama. I hope that we will see the same this year. Of course, true to any statement out of Clintons mouth, whether or not this statement is genuine is up for debate. If Sanders does chose to walk away from the campaign without lending his support to Clinton, the election for the Democratic party could be over. Even Clintons supporters have admitted that she is not exciting. What do you think of Sanders comments?

1	Following the release of a secret Department of Justice memo this week that outlines the administrations legal justification for killing U.S. citizens, a new Pew Research Center poll has revealed that a majority of Americans are torn over whether they support the governments right to kill them anywhere at any time without due process. On the one hand, I get itits important for the government to be able to murder me and any of my friends or family members whenever they please for reputed national security reasons. But on the other hand, it would kind of be nice to stay alive and have, maybe, a trial, actual evidencestuff like that, said visibly conflicted 39-year-old Nashua, NH resident Rebecca Sawyer, who, like millions of other Americans, is split over whether secret federal agents should be allowed to target and assassinate her anywhere on U.S. soil. I wouldnt mind if federal officials blew up other citizens and claimed it was in the name of my safety. But its just that when it comes to me, I guess Id rather not be slaughtered by my own elected officials on charges that never have to be validated by any accountable authority. This is tough. While most Americans expressed conflicted feelings regarding the memo, the poll also found that 28 percent of citizens were unequivocally in favor of being obliterated at any point, for any reason, in a massive airstrike. 
1	In an inspiring display of mobility, thousands of Americans from every walk of life swarmed the nation's capital Sunday to protest having to spend another minute cooped up in the house. The event, which marks the 40th consecutive weekend march around Washington this year, was documented by nearly all in attendance with the help of digital cameras, but went largely unreported by mainstream media. According to official estimates by the D.C. Chamber of Commerce, more than 20,000 citizens descended upon the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, the Air and Space Museum, and the city's trendy Georgetown neighborhood on a day many said they would forever remember as being in the mid-70s with a nice southeasterly breeze. 'When I turned on the news and saw the forecast, I knew I had to get out and do something,' said Maryland resident Tim Shrider, who brought his entire family and dog to join him in a united stroll near the Capitol Building. 'At least for part of the afternoon.' Coming from as far away as Iowa, Florida, and 30 miles outside the city, the meandering throngs walked for blocks in every direction, stopping only to eat at cafs and admire the reflecting pool, all the while chanting inspiring slogans like 'What a beautiful day' and 'We should do this more often' amongst themselves. An energetic group, their intense commitment to stretching their legs could not be denied as map-wielding marchers brought traffic to a standstill at several important crosswalks around the National Mall. While many reasons were given for the massive demonstration of public restlessness, the primary concern cited by participants seemed to be a sense of anxiety that the country is headed toward a chilly autumn. 'The time had come for all of us to get off the couch and finally visit that new Italian place we've heard so much about,' said Grace Rosen, who refused to be seated until her family was given the table for four they deserved. 'It was something we simply had to do.' The multifronted assault on D.C.'s landmarks and souvenir shops ended for some at the gates of the White House. Facing heavy security and long, demoralizing lines, only a fraction of those assembled were able to purchase tickets and march through the executive residence with a tour guide. 'Even if my children are too young to remember everything we did here today, I think it's important that they see for themselves what Washington, D.C. is all about,' said Cecilia Gareth, who chose to leave the procession early in order to trudge the half-mile route to a local relative's house. 'This is a great day.' By mid-afternoon, the crowds had filled many of the city's public parks. While couples joined hands in solidarity, some brave men and women took to the streets with their guitars, singing songs of peace, love, cheating spouses, sunny tropical destinations, and attractive women. The day of zealous window-shopping and picnicking reached a fevered pitch when a group of college students approached the grassy area surrounding the Washington Monument and began hurling Frisbees and footballs across the field. Police reported only a handful of arrests, including three civilians exercising what they insisted was their right to walk diagonally across main roads during rush-hour traffic. Despite the relative calm, some local residents claimed the march was an overreaction to Washington's clear skies. 'Are people just going to storm the Vietnam Memorial and the Smithsonian every time we have a nice day in the capital area?' said D.C. Metrobus driver Jeff Paulsen, who was some eight minutes behind schedule due to the slow-moving crowds. 'I was a supporter of recreational activities in college, but these kids today will use any excuse to get outdoors and walk around.' Added Paulsen: 'For God's sake, get a job.' 
2	Small Town Unites Against Atheists: Stop Bullying Our Kids For Praying American atheists seem to have stepped up their protest against any public acknowledgment of God in the United States. Most recently, they decided to demonstrate against the addition of the national motto In God We Trust to the Mississippi state seal. Now, theyre attacking a small town football team and coaching staff for praying before games. According to reports, the American Humanist Association (AHA) recently wrote a letter to the county school board complaining about the public prayer. The town did not take the letter lightly. In fact, nearly 200 local citizens showed up on the high school football field to pray. And Congressman Doug Collins of Georgia has deemed the AHA bullies. The liberal atheist interest groups trying to bully Chestatee High School kids say they have a reason to believe that expressions of religious freedom are not an isolated event in Northeast Georgia, Collins commented. Theyre right. In Hall County and throughout Georgias 9th district, we understand and respect the Constitution. Collins also argues that there are more important things to focus on, saying, Its utterly disgusting that while innocent lives are being lost in Iraq and other places at the hands of radical religious terrorists, a bunch of Washington lawyers are finding the time to pick on kids in Northeast Georgia. What do you think? Should Americans be allowed to pray in public? 
1	Between her regular employment cleaning homes and side work waitressing at Perkins on mornings and weekends, 35-year-old single mother Janice Paulings is greedily hogging two jobs all to herself, outraged sources reported Monday. I cant believe the nerve of some people, waking up before 5 a.m. each day to take the earlybird shift at a restaurant, then racing across town to drop her children off at school before selfishly putting in a full day at another job, Amos Waltham resentfully said of Paulings, adding that the shamelessly self-absorbed woman was also eager to pick up extra shifts wherever she could. What about the rest of us? How are we supposed to find a steady source of income while shes collecting two separate paychecks and racking up as many as 80 hours a week? Some jerks only think of themselves and their three kids. Most irritating of all, Waltham noted, is that in addition to Paulings taking two jobs, her selfish children were also living it up by enjoying free government-subsidized breakfasts at school every day. 
3	The Day We Fought BackRainey Reitman Of course, the battle didnt begin today. The groups that organized this action have long been pushing hard for real surveillance reform. But we knew that the time was ripethat the Snowden leaks, unrelenting media pressure, grassroots activism, and even pressure from within Congresswere creating a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to give the publicworldwidethe chance to voice its opposition to mass spying. We knew that 6,000+ websites were committing to stand with us in a global day of action, that dozens of advocacy organizations worldwide would fight with us. What we didnt know was how big todays stand against mass spying would be. In one day, over 71,000 concerned Americans picked up the phone and told their Congress to rein in the NSA. Far more sent emails to their members of Congress. Around the world over 200,000 put their name to a set of founding principles against suspicionless surveillance: by the NSA, by their own governments, by anyone who dares to violate our human rights. Weve done more in this single day to pressure the U.S. Congress to reform surveillance law than what months or even years of lobbying to date have accomplished. Weve demonstrated our strength. Weve shown those who want to watch us that the whole world is watching them. This day of action tapped into the creativity and diversity of the Internet. Advocates for press freedom described how surveillance chills freedom of expression. International human rights organizations articulated how unrestrained, illegal surveillance violates human rights. Tech companies demanded privacy rights for their users. Lawmakers stood with their constituents in demanding an end to mass surveillance. And worldwide, there were people holding events large and small to show that they would no longer tolerate suspicionless surveillance. We also saw great news coverage of our protests, from The Guardian to the Washington Post to PBS and many others, ensuring people around the world learned about the protests. Of course, the battle isnt over. In some ways its just beginning. Weve proven to lawmakers that we are powerful, united yet diverse, and that we are going to use everything within our means to combat surveillance abuses. But defending freedom online is a marathon, not a sprint. Well need to show them, day after day, that we wont compromise or accept reforms that fall short. And well continue to make every day a day we fight back against mass surveillancein the courts, in the legislature, and on the Internet. The late Internet activist Aaron Swartz famously said, when describing how the Internet defeated the SOPA blacklist bill, that: We won this fight because everyone made themselves the hero of their own story. Everyone took it as their job to save this crucial freedom. Aarons legacy of fighting for an technological world that supports, rather than undermines, human rights inspired us today. Together, the hundreds of thousands of us that took action in the last twenty four hours, can live up to that legacy. Today, we began to win.

3	Argentina: In the Shadow of the IMFJames Corbett 
1	A host of high-ranking insect leaders convened in Canada for the annual G20,000,000,000 summit Friday, addressing various challenges facing todays insects and promoting stability among the global bug population. The two-day conference, held this year in a secluded, heavily wooded area of the Ottawa National Forest, reportedly includes various insect representatives from North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as over 15,000 different species of beetles from Australia invited as non-member delegates. The decisions made at the G20,000,000,000 will greatly affect all 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 insects around the world, said John Cavagnaro, chair of the International Society of Entomology. This is where the most pressing issues for modern-day insects are tackled head-on, and it provides a forum for these powerful rulers to deliberate over diminishing nectar supplies, ways to achieve sustainable nest growth, and new forms of cross-pollination. But perhaps its most vital function is to diffuse any tensions between colonies by opening up direct lines of communication through antennae and stridulation, Cavagnaro added. According to those present, the first days proceedings began with a discussion of efforts to combat worryingly high larval mortality rates in Africa, which then reportedly led to a joint proposal from various mosquito delegates advocating universal access to stagnant water. The insect representatives also reportedly voted down a controversial plan to ban flying toward big bright lights. Tempers were said to later flare up as a coalition of bees, hornets, and yellow jackets vehemently opposed initiatives introduced by several influential wingless insects to reduce global swarming. All 20,000,000,000 parties, however, reportedly unanimously agreed upon tighter security measures for protecting insect queens, although leaders differed on which specific queens safety was of paramount importance. Sources said there was then a brief intermission during which leaders frantically feasted on a dead mouse. As in past summits, one major point of debate is the ongoing threat of dangerous arachnid groups, said Cavagnaro, adding that violence between the invertebrates continues on a daily basis. Views are still largely divided5,500,000,000 members are in favor of attacking the spiders, 7,000,000,000 have pushed for diplomatic resolutions, and the remaining 6,500,000,000 are staunchly refusing any engagement whatsoever out of fear of getting caught in webs and eaten. There is growing optimism regarding potential peace talks, Cavagnaro added. That said, this bitter conflict dates back 400 million years, and very little headway has been made in that time. Originally known as the G8,000,000,000, the global conference was launched 51 million years ago to protect general insect interests in the wake of the tragic extinction of the Eorpidae scorpionfly. Among its founding members were black vine weevils, desert locusts, diamondback moths, and ladybugs, but the group has since reportedly grown to collectively account for roughly 90 percent of all animal lifeforms on earth. Many within the general insect population, though, remain skeptical of the G20,000,000,000s actual impact, claiming that rather than working toward effective policy changes, leaders often resort to secreting petty territorial pheromones. G20,000,000,000 members have also come under fire over a perceived lack of action against pesticide, with critics accusing the leaders of ignoring the systematic extermination of millions of insects. The summit has been facing mounting pressure to take decisive steps to stop the widespread, indiscriminate gassing of wasp hives, said Cavagnaro, adding that critics have frequently condemned the group for failing to prevent such atrocities and devoting far too much time to masticating plant leaves. Meanwhile, countless worker ants occupying sidewalk cracks have been killed or displaced by mass floods of hose water, not to mention the thousands, perhaps even millions of ant hills destroyed in foot traffic every day. Unless something is done soon, these crises will sadly be the burden of future generations of hymenopterans, Cavagnaro added. At press time, the G20,000,000,000 had abruptly concluded after a small bird flew overhead, causing all insect leaders to scatter. 
3	US Moves To Restrict Travelers Taking International FlightsJeff Berwick Coupled with this information and the new abilities to act on that information definitely makes air travel a lot safer, according to one government official. Throughout the video it is hinted numerous times that the US government has new capabilities to screen passengers. Travel is about to get much harder for many US passengers, as bureaucratic red-tape stops them from travel. For many, to be sure, traveling in-or-out of the US has been a nightmare already. The nightmares that await hundreds of travelers in-and-out of the US are palpable for those paying attention. For nearly any random reason an individual can be denied his or her right to travel by the US bureaucracy, and it happens way more than you think. US CONTINUES HISTORY OF BURDENED TRAVEL FOR BRITISH CELEBRITIES Take for example one British celebrity. On her way to the US, she encountered quite a problem, putting her career on the line. Lawson, a celebrity chef, was stopped at a Heathrow boarding gate on her way to Los Angeles this month. She was prevented from boarding the flight to the US due to a drug confession that she has taken drugs. Should she be unable to travel to the US her television career would be effectively ended. The 54-year-old star confessed that she had snorted cocaine and smoked cannabis in front of her children. Although Scotland Yard has yet to do a thing, the US has taken a stricter policy, outdoing a country which has recently banned drinking in front of your own children and said that act should be punishable by up to ten years in a cage. It appears US authorities told British Airways not to allow her to travel to California, where she would have been refused entry anyway. The US can disallow certain visitors from entering, even if they havent ever been charged. To lift any ban could take months or years. In the spirit of transparency, the US Department of Homeland (In)Securitys custom and border protection department declined to comment. We suspect Lawson was caught up in the requirement that airlines supply US security officials in advance with details regarding all passengers on flights to America in order to screen them against Washingtons no fly list. Lawson had been allowed to travel to the US as recently as January, after her admission to taking drugs. It seems, as Telegraph notes, that US authorities have hardened since then. This is a harrowing trend which Americans best take note of now, before it is too late. Every single day 366 people are deemed inadmissable and refused entry into the US, according to US government statistics, most of which are cooked. The information that Lawson had taken plants (a.k.a. drugs) came out during a bitter divorce trial. She is far from the first British celebrity said to have found entry into the US difficult due to convictions or drug use. Amy Winehouse, Kate Moss, Russell Brand and Oasis stars Noel and Liam Gallagher are all on that list. YOURE NOT FLYING ANYWHERE TODAYTHE JUDGE WANTS TO SEE YOU But her story is nothing compared to one American familys in particular. Celebrities, and other people in the public spotlight, are far from the only ones who find it difficult to travel in or out of the US. Take Charles and Kathleen Barrett for example. On August 8, 2013 they were barred from leaving Colorado on their way back to where they lived in Cuenca, Ecuador. Charles settled into his seat in a waiting area at the airport and was surrounded by three men, one of whom was wearing a US marshals costume. Youre not flying anywhere today, one of the marshals told him. The judge wants to see you. Charles was forced to turn over his passport and airline ticket and was kidnapped and led out of the airport in handcuffs. Charles knew what the problem was. In 2007 he had received a large refund from the IRS he and his spouse were not entitled to, the result of a tax return filed without their signatures by their tax preparer. They ultimately testified against the tax preparer. When we found out about the mistake, we knew we needed to repay the IRS and had been working with the court to do it, Charles said. Based on an agreement, we had paid $5,000 a month for 2 1/2 years and had paid $226,000 in all, almost the total amount we originally owed the IRS. The Barretts were also filing reports every six weeks with the court, providing documents as requested. Once in court, Charles did not see the judge who had handled his case but another. It turns out the court had issued a writ of Ne Exeat Republica, ordering the Barretts to turn over their passports. The writ of Ne Exeat Republica is a virtually unknown judicial tool dating to the 18th century English royal court. Its original intention was to restrict travel for political reasons and is occasionally used in the United States. It is almost always issued as a civil law action. The IRS attorney insisted that Barrett go to jail or post bond of $253,000. The judge informed the attorney the writ did not authorize jailing, only the confiscation of passports and other travel documents. The IRS attorney insisted, and ultimately the judged relented. Charles was booked into jail, though no charges were filed. Kathleen, who was leaving from Grand Junction, 200 miles west of Denver, was experiencing the same abuse. She was also booked into jail. It was two days before anyone knew where she was. Kathleen and Charles saw each other for the first time in five days on Tuesday August, 13, at a hearing at the federal courthouse in Denver. Their new attorney demanded they be released. Judge Boland agreed, but the marshals refused to obey the judges orders based on the instructions of their superiors. Ultimately, the judge demanded the handcuffs and shackles be removed and they finally were. Nearly eight months later, the Barretts are still unable to leave the US. Charles has lost the source of income that allowed him to make payments to the IRS. The Barretts lawyers are arguing that the IRS has repeatedly misrepresented the facts and has perjured herself on numerous occasions. Since, Judge Boland has been removed from the case. In fact, the Barretts have dealt with three different judges during the process. The Barretts remain in Colorado, living with Kathleens mother. We just want the nightmare to end, says Charles. CONCLUSION Every single day hundreds of people are barred from entering or leaving the US, and many of these individuals are held because of some issue or another, whether or not they are guilty of any crime, with the IRS. As the Barretts case demonstrates, the IRS will do whatever it takes to make your life a living hell if they believe you have done something wrong, even if you havent. Pretty much right off the bat bureaucratic processes take over and the entire situation is out of yours and everybodys hands even the government courts. The Barretts case shows that bureaucrats within the US government have no problem being in contempt of court, upholding the orders of their superiors before the rulings of the judge. Getting ones assets outside of the hands of the US government, a government that clearly has no problem stealing in broad daylight from its own citizens, is instrumental to living a near worry-free life. Why become one of the 366 people each day, who, in the process of traveling to the US, find themselves passport-less or thrown in jail? As a result, many of these people have their assets stolen from them, and what they have leftover goes to attorneys whose sole purpose was to prove their innocence. What a witchhunt And it is only getting worse. The US government is stepping up its controls on travelers to-and-from the US. Knowing how to keep your savings outside the strongarm of the US government is a must of any financial portfolio. Without this instrumental first step you risk losing everything. There can be no doubt about that. We have covered this time-and-time again in the TDV Blog, and it is a fundamental philosophy of TDV Wealth Management, where we work to help families setup multi-generational savings strategies. The TDV Wealth Management Crisis Conference in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California, Mexico is designed to give attendees the tools they need to get their financial house in order meaning outside the hands of government. It is not our first. We have already begun helping many of our readers, and others, to safeguard what is rightfully theirs, and we want to help you. These conferences are not for everybody. Only for individuals with substantial savings and cashflow and at least one million in savings, the TDV Wealth Management Crisis Conference could be the best decision youve made in terms of your wealth. We have documented countless times about how the borders are closing for Americans this is just the latest of a disturbing trend. We believe there is no strategy more important than internationalizing your ass and assets so you are not left with nothing by this system. The most egregious act is the incoming FATCA legislation that are nothing but capital controls. To learn more and register now, click here.

3	Research Reveals How Sugar CAUSES CancerThe average American consumes their body weight annually in this cancer-causing substance, and yet hospitals freely feed it to their cancer patients, oblivious to the harm it does. Hospitals feed cancer patients sugar and high carbohydrate diets for a reason: they are abysmally ignorant of the role of nutrition in health and disease hence their burgeoning growth and packed rooms. Even though the science itself shows at least since the mid-20s withOtto Warburgs cancer hypothesis that tumors prefer to utilize sugar fermentation to produce energy rather than the much more efficient oxygen-based phosphorylation* hospitals have actually invited corporations likeMcDonalds to move into their facilities to enhance their patients gustatory experience, presumably to provide comfort and take the edge off of the painful surgery, radiation and chemo treatments erroneously proffered to them as the only reasonable standard of care. But the times are changing, with new research requiring these medical institutions to reform their dietary strategies, at least if they wish to claim that their interventions are in fact evidence-based New Study Reveals Sugar Doesnt Just Feed But Causes Cancer A groundbreaking new study, uncovered by one of our volunteer researchers at Greenmedinfo Jonathan Middleton is the first of its kind to identify sugar, not only as fuel source for an already existing cancer, but as a primary driver in oncogenesis i.e. the initiation of cancerous characteristics (phenotype) within previously healthy cells. Published in the Journal of Cliinical Investigation and titled,Increased sugar uptake promotes oncogenesis via EPAC/RAP1 and O-GlcNAc pathways, researchers addressed a common perception (or misperception) in the cancer research community regarding sugars relationship to cancer: namely, increased glycolysis [sugar based metabolis] is frequently viewed as a consequence of oncogenic events that drive malignant cell growth and survival. Contrary to this conventional view, the new study provide[s] evidence that increased glycolytic activation itself can be an oncogenic event That is to say, the activation of sugar-based metabolism in a cell driven by both the presence of increased quantities of glucose and the increase glucose receptors on the cell membrane surface (i.e. overexpression of a glucose transporter) drives cancer initiation. Moreover, the study found that Conversely, forced reduction of glucose uptake by breast cancer cells led to phenotypic reversion. In other words, interfering with sugar availability and uptake to the cell causes the cancer cell to REVERSE towards its pre-cancer structure-function (phenotype). What this new research indicates is that sugar of which Americans consume an astounding 160 lbs annually (imagine: 31 five-pound bags for each of us!) is one of the primary causes of metabolic cell changes in the body consistent with the initiation and promotion of cancer. And, the research indicates that removing it from the diet, and depriving the cells of it, could REVERSE cancer. Hidden Sugar, Crouching Cancer It has been estimated by the USDA that the average American consumes 200 lbs of grain products annually. Why is this relevant to the question of sugar in the diet? Because refined carbohydrate products e.g. crackers, bread, pasta, cereal are actually hidden forms of sugar. In fact, puffed rice causes your blood to become sweeter (and presumably feeds more cancer cells sugar) than white sugar, as it is higher on the glycemic index. Adding the two figures together annual per capita consumption of sugar and grain-based products we get a jaw dropping 360 lbs of sugar (both overt (table sugar/high fructose corn syrup) and covert (grain carbs) annually all of which may contribute to promoting the ideal metabolic situation of cancer cells: aerobic glycolysis. This is one reason why the ketogenic diet that is, a fat- and protein-focused diet devoid of carbohydrate, both in simple (sugar) and complex (grain product) form has been found so useful in the most aggressive of cancers: including brain cancer. Once you pull the rug out from under the sugar/carb-craving cancer cells, they are forced to either undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis) or re-differentiate back into non-cancerous phenotypes. One of the primary reasons why we eat sugar and carbohydrate rich diets is because they are addictive. Within minutes of consuming sugar/carbs our body goes through a neuroendocrine roller coaster. Your brain can not survive very long without glucose, the fundamental energy unit of the cell, and will freak out if deprived of a steady stream of this nutrient within only 2-3 minutes. The endocrine system, on the other hand, perceives the danger of high sugar namely, glycation associated damage to protein and lipid structures within the cells of our body; think: blood caramelizing, getting sticky, and gumming up the finely tuned works and will release hormones such as insulin, adrenaline and cortisol, in order to try to get the elevated sugar in the blood and tissues under control. Insulin forces the sugar into storage within the cell, both as glycogen and as fat, but often does its job too well, causing available glucose levels in the brain to be depleted setting off a vicious cycle of emergency signals telling the body to release more cortisol and adrenaline to increase the levels of glucose in the blood. This, of course, will result in additional insulin production and release, causing the same cycle to be repeated over and over again. This seemingly endless vicious cycle is responsible for the insatiable cravings a high carb/sugar diet generates not to mention thefructose-based hedonic effects generated in the brain that modulate both opioid and dopamine receptors in the nervous system (not unlike alcohol), and the pharmacologically active peptides in manygluten-containing grains, which also drive addictive behaviors and an almost psychotic fixation on getting carbs at each meal. No wonder we have an epidemic of cancer in a world where the Westernized diet prevails. Certainly, we do not mean to indicate that a sugar/carb-rich diet is the only cause of cancer. There are many other factors that contribute to cancer initiation and promotion, such as: Even though cancer is a complex, multi-factorial phenomena, with variables we can not always control, one thing we can do is control what goes into our mouth. Sugar, for instance, does not belong there if we truly want to prevent and/or treat cancer. And dont forget, carbohydrates that dont taste sweet on the front end bread, crackers, cereal certainly convert to sugar in the body within minutes post-consumption. In a nutshell, if you are concerned about cancer, have cancer, or would like to prevent recurrence, removing sugar and excess carbohydrates is a must. Not only is it common sense, but it is now validated by experimental research. *Note: Cancer cells prefer to ferment sugar as a form of energy even when there is sufficient oxygen available to the cells to do so; hence Warburgs description of cancer metabolism as aerobic glycolysis or the so-called Warburg effect This article first appeared at GreenMedInfo.

2	Patriotic Bikers Planning March To Shut Down The Border And Free Jailed Marine U.S. Marine Andrew Tahmooressi is still in a Mexican prison after making a wrong turn and accidentally crossing the board. Unfortunately, even after trading a group of terrorists for Army deserter Bergdahl, the government seems unwilling to rescue this American hero. Now, according to reports, he is facing conditions so terrible that he has actually contemplated suicide. Bill OReilly has called for Americans to boycott Mexico and their products. A petition started by Tahmooressis mother has received enough signatures to warrant a response from the President. Still, he remains silent and refuses to act. Luckily, a group of patriotic bikers have decided to free Tahmooressi, with or without the help of the government. John Harrington, the originator of the call to action and founder of Shield Tactical, stated the following: This event will be family oriented patriotic, and although our terms to #freetahmooressi are non-negotiable, there is a 100% expectation that it will be peaceful. The ultimate goal is to inspire so many people to attend the event on Cinco De Julio event, that every freeway entrance into Mexico will be completely shut down. This is not intended to hurt the Mexican people unless they intend to keep our U.S. Marine, but it is to remind the Mexico authorities that We The People are directly responsible for millions of dollars PER HOUR which flows over the U.S. / Mexico border. We The People have the power to stop their prosperity in its tracks if they refuse to return our U.S. Marine. Once we #FreeTahmooressi on Cinco De Julio, we can then celebrate on both sides of the border! The main stream media can take all the pictures and video they wish, and we hope they also document politicians on both sides hiding in their bunkers. 
2	This 11 Year Old Boy Saved His Little Sister When An Intruder Broke Into His House [VIDEO] An 11-year-old boy is making headlines after he fatally shot a 16-year-old who was attempting to break into his house. Reports indicate that the teenager and another man had attempted to break into the house twice earlier in the day. When the teen was finally success at around 2:30, the 11-year-old was armed and ready for him. The boy claims he was ready to protect his four-year-old sister, who was also inside the home at the time. This little boy should be painted as a heronot many children would have been able to display the bravery he did. Instead, he is being attacked by liberals for knowing how to use a gun in the first place. What do you think? Do you support this boy defending his family and his property? 
3	Unlimited War! ISIS Psyop Theater Comes to Full FruitionBernie Suarez The ISIS psyop has been worked on so hard by the architects of the plan that now we are seeing the final desired political goals of the entire operation an operation which has become more of a global theater. The ISIS psyop theater is now coming to fruition and the globalists are speaking loud and clear about what they want, which is really an admission to why they concocted the ISIS psyop to begin with. They want the authorization to use unlimited military force wherever they want, whenever they want and (of course) on WHO-ever they want to use it on. Isnt this a tyrannical empires dream come true? And with this revelation the romance between ISIS and CIA/US/Israel and the other NATO ISIS partners is now fully exposed to anyone willing to see it for what it is. Even when it was revealed that throughout Iraq, suspicions were running deep back in September of 2014 that CIA and Islamic State are united, no one within the mainstream media did anything to stop the ISIS psyop by at least exposing the fact that not one ISIS supply line had been disrupted, not one bank account ceased, not one (illegal) NSA data mining effort able to collect the whereabouts of ISIS (as they do of U.S. innocent citizens) to gather them up and end the ISIS theater. Not one story was reported by mainstream media about the 100+ ISIS supply trucks rumbling through Turkey to get into Syria. Not one story appeared about how Turkey was supporting ISIS or about how the U.S. and its NATO allies were allowing ISIS to enjoy (food, water, toiletries and ammo) supplies without disruption. We never did find out how ISIS was able to get on the Internet, make calls, communicate, make high production style videos and upload to the Internet. All we got was ISIS production department Rita Katz and her (CIA approved anti-terror propaganda) SITE Institute telling us she luckily found the ISIS beheading videos and was able to show it to the world before ISIS themselves could promote their own video. Aside from this bizarre story we got not a peep from the mainstream media about anything relevant to stopping ISIS. Since the launching of the ISIS show, mainstream media has instead been focused on only branding and praising ISIS and showing the world how incredible and unstoppable they are. Since the branding of the ISIS name began late in the summer of 2014 weve watched the ISIS psyop script morph from the fake James Foley beheading video blocked from the masses by YouTube claiming the video was too graphic and offensive, to an organization which is now (supposedly) full-scale global force stronger and more organized than any nation on earth. We have also watched for over 6 months now as the ISIS story evolved into a tale told very differently by two opposing forms of media coverage. The true alternative independent (non-corporate) media has collectively exposed the ISIS tale showing how each story gets more and more ridiculous. On the other hand, the mainstream corporate media has pounded the ISIS brand and its greatness into its viewers daily, carefully setting them up for the war approval request we see now. If you actually tracked mainstream media stories of the last 6 months you will very likely find that ISIS has gotten more headlines than any other single topic. In an Orwellian society that suffers from headline news amnesia, thanks to the ministry of truth mainstream media who regularly changes the headline news to fit the agenda of the day, weve seen an unusual repetition of ISIS stories that doesnt even fit the mainstream medias own script, much less the framework of reality, truth and reason. This over-the-top effort by CIAs mainstream media to over-sell the ISIS brand is now primed for being fully exposed with the latest White House bold request for unlimited military power to strike and kill anyone they please. For perspective, lets examine the Obama/White House psyop sequence of responses with respect to ISIS over the last six months. In early September 2014 on the heels of the fake beheading videos and stories of ISIS conquering Mosul and taking over U.S. weapons, Obama stated regarding ISIS, we dont have a strategy an unusual thing for any leader to say about any supposed threat. The strategy at the time was to make the U.S. FEEL like they were the underdogs. This underdog strategy is practiced by boxing coaches and we see this underdog strategy in sports all the time. It is well known that most people enjoy and prefer to root for the (perceived) underdog. Taking full advantage of this human tendency to root for the underdog was a significant piece of the early strategy for recruiting American sentiment and support for action against ISIS. At the time, the mainstream media played right along with what clearly turned out to be the chosen strategy heading into the end of 2014 and early 2015. The plan? Blow up ISIS by talking endlessly about them and continue to show the world how they are growing, while continuing to sound weak with respect to attacking ISIS. Following the September 2014 launching of the we are the underdog strategy, we heard highly unusual stories like ISIS bragging on social media about their success, ISIS making promotional videos involving the murder of non-supporters, ISIS somehow recruiting members all the way on the other side of the world, even ISIS printing their own money. By the end of 2014 there was almost nothing that ISIS had not accomplished. By the turn of the new year (2015) the ISIS branding was secure and by January the U.S. Government announced the creation of a secret new Task Force to deal with ISIS. Details of this task force would be held a secret. The only thing we knew for sure was that it would require a lot of money $$$ to operate, that it would combine the efforts of the other NATO (pro-ISIS) countries, and that its location would be somewhere in the Middle East or South East Asia, smack in the middle of the region of the world where the U.S. has been illegally meddling in for years in its quest to run the world. By early February 2015 the reaction from Obama and the White House was Obama Warns Against Exaggerating the Islamic State Threat. This position and this reaction to ISIS was intended as nothing more than reverse psychology. Obama, who had been positioning himself as the underdog all this time, now begins to position himself as someone not so eager to attack ISIS, someone who is calm and not wanting to sound like a warmonger. This was all by design. Shortly after this staged comment attempting to sound calm and cool, of course Obama is now reacting to the ISIS soap opera in an exaggerated manner. Any time a staged terror group gets its ammunition, support, supplies and public relations from the same country they claim they will be attacking, responding to this staged situation with unlimited power of war is very much an exaggeration. Just days after announcing his request for unlimited war on the Middle East, all consistent with the PNAC plans, now it is being reported that 4000 U.S. troops are heading to Kuwait to fight ISIS. This is what happens when the CIAs mainstream media and its bought-out politicians make the decisions that please the U.S. Military Industrial Complex. The rest of us sit here watching these psychopaths lie about ISIS and give themselves power to wage limitless war. ISIS Superpowers Transcend Reality As I mentioned in my recent article about the deliberate mainstream media branding of ISIS, most people are not aware of the magnitude of the ISIS brand and how they have been portrayed as greater than god. ISIS is a meaningless group of ($300 a month salaried Im told) Middle Eastern stray men with both Jesus Christ and Superman-like powers, combined into one. According to Western corporate media, ISIS has greater intelligence than all of their enemies combined. They are a super-human force able to outsmart all military intelligence at once, avoid all global surveillance and NSA illegal data-mining at once. All the while fighting multiple countries on multiple fronts, and WINNING! As Ive mentioned before, the ISIS brand has stood up to the world (according to the CIAs mainstream media) showing off their razor blade sharp technological skills like programmers, hackers and techies with super-slick untraceable and effective social media prowess. Their totally retarded psychopathic view of life is no deterrent to average Americans, Canadians, Australians and citizens (apparently) all over the world including women!! Average people (as I said in a recent article) apparently suddenly decide the want to join ISIS for no reason at all. I suppose these people (if they actually exist) are overwhelmed by the over-the-top branding ISIS has received from mainstream media. Absolute evidence that marketing and branding works. Recently I saw where one major left-wing media persona tweeted doubts about the ISIS theater script. Is this a sign of things to come within left-wing media? As humanity waits for the people within the media to continue to break ranks and seek truth, we can be sure that things will get much worse before they get better. ISIS is a definitive piece of the puzzle for the new world order. Its a powerful tool to enslave humanity by first killing off and destroying the uncooperative sovereign nations that get in the way (like Syria and Iran), then enslaving the rest of us. For now, the ongoing headache known as the ISIS theater or the ISIS psyop will continue unfortunately. The globalists have thrown the kitchen sink at the ISIS psyop hoping to make them greater than life and hopefully this over-the-top effort will be their own undoing. Lets do everything we can to expose this pro-war psychological operation whose main goal we are now seeing come to fruition. The globalist gangsters want to wage unlimited war, and its up to us to stop them. We also need to stop thinking of ISIS and the new world order gangsters as being separate entities, they are not. The Islamic state is very much a big part of the new world order plans. Without ISIS, the new world order plans are in serious jeopardy. Try to see this connection and free your mind of the ISIS psyop. Right now its plain and simple: No ISIS means NO new world order. Obama knows this, the White House knows this, traitor John McCain knows this and many in D.C. know this. Now more than ever it is important to dump the mainstream corporate media and or hope that enough truth comes out of independent media to trigger enough doubt in Americans to stop this latest war authorization trick from the White House. Say no to more reckless war, say no to government (legal) propaganda designed to promote war, and say no to endless promotion of staged terror groups to be used as tools for the globalists final goals. At this point in history Americans are burned out with the same script: Problem-Reaction-Solution. Lets all step back and change the paradigm that allows for this repeated script to play itself out over and over again. We know that the solutions offered by government are no solutions at all, instead its an extension of the problem. We are being fooled every time into Problem-Reaction-More Problem! We must all now offer NEW solutions without which we will not survive. True solutions for the world that are real and effective. Our future as a humanity now hinges on our ability to shut down or replace the control system or their control over our ability to implement true solutions. How well we as a humanity are able to do this will determine our future and the future of the human race.

The profits derived from fighting a nonexistent enemy must be astronomical ISIS just released another substandard psyops video showing the beheading of 21 christian Egyptians. (21 men in their brand new spotless orange glo suits offering NO resistance whatsoever, calmly kneeling to be beheaded by abnormally GIANT (check photos) ISIS militants on the beach in their equally spotless black ninja suits ). Camera switches to pic of sheeps blood or red dye in sea. Actual beheading is blurred out as ISIS no doubt wouldnt want to offend our sensibilities. Today Egypt jumps into the fray bombing ISIS targets inside Libya. On cue, call goes out from Libyan (US puppet) prime minister of fake Libyan governmet that ISIS must be stopped even if it means foreign intervention (who would have guessed!!). On cue, UK envoy warns Libya will become another Somalia right on the Mediterranean sea, (oh the horror of it!!) unless we act and ISIS announces that Italy is next.(or maybe Greece?) Are you shaking in your boots yet? Actually I think Libya is more about Africa but hey, why not behead 2 continents with one stone. Dont they sometimes puke on their own insane miserable drivel? They arent puking, theyre high fiving each other for creating another ridiculous piece of propaganda that only the truly brain dead could believe. Must be the same production idiots who did all those Obama Bin Laden videos. Mockery and the betrayal of trust is the only thing that makes them feel alive. Pathetic! I am muched more inclined to the fuck-up theory of events than this twaddle.Sure Isis is a creation of US policy in the middle east,but because of stupidity not conspiracy.There are many big budgets for many agencies also in need of protection from a war weary US public.Always look for the fuck-up first,the conspiracy usually comes in when trying to cover it up Youre one of those who think everyone is just wandering around aimlessly, bumping into walls, pushing things over and never giving a second thought to what comes next? Yeah, youre like most ignorant people. Your viewpoint of accidental history is the biggest conspiracy theory of all. I am interested in the truth in order to stop these things happening.You addicts of conspiracy theory are only interested in your next fixof breathless conspiracy, which achieves less than nothing.Do me a favour go and bore somebody else Id say the last thing youre interested in is the truth. If anyone is looking for a fix, its people like you who want an easy fix to all their problems, and the easiest of all is to just say theyre dumb or act as if everything is the result of an accident or incompetence. Dont act like you care about the truth. ISIS was planned behind closed doors and in secret, by several people. Therefore, conspiracy. Would hazard the fuck up was big oil, leasing out equipment, labor, effort, time to extract oil from Middle East. This was done to benefit the West via the use of economic hit men. It was all arranged that the Middle East would buy treasuries in the US as intrest on the loans to enable extraction. Then, Middle East realized the resource was of value and began extraction of its own, extracting money from the West. Meanwhile the West continually had cycles of booms, busts leading to cheap commodities, stocks, ownership of the US by Chinese who ate up American paper like it was going out of style rice. The Asians started calling in their chips as well. We got pinched and instead of going bankrupt like everyone else, we just print more dough. Yee Ha! Seems a fairly big fuck up there. BOHICA, BOHICA. So it gets covered up by conspiracies, whatever trick sates the slut. on cue http://www.thecairopost.com/news/137789/news/egypt-seeks-international-intervention-in-libya ISS is a creation of the CIA/MOSSAD. ISS is a tool utilized to first attack Syria and then ultimately Iran.. ITS ALL FRAUD! When I stopped watching television several years ago one thing that vanished was my affinity for going to MSNBC or CNNs website for news. In fact when I am in a room with talking heads on someone elses television I feel compelled to leave the room to stop the inflow of poison to my consciousness. It seems insignificant but turning off the TV has done much for my brain health. Thanks for this article. Its becoming very clear now. Thank you Bernie for your amazing research and articles! I recently wrote about ISIS from Japan. Note that Article 9 refers to the key clause in Japans Peace Constitution, that forbids wars of aggression. Those lazy hazy days of relaxing in the summer sun are over, get ready to war up it up! http://www.activistpost.com/2015/02/captured-opposition-defends-nuclear.html The day after Prime Minister Abe visited Israel to agree with Netanyahu on anti-terrorism cooperation and gave a speech at the Vad Yesham Holocaust Museum, where Abe invoked the eternal suffering of the Jewish people (but not the Palestinians), the NATO-CIA-Mossad Operation Gladio terrorist network, ISIS, announced they would behead two Japanese journalists unless the government ponied up 200 million dollars and withdrew the Self Defense Forces from Iraq (33; 34; 35). Shalom! My Zionist Masters agree that we in Japan need to rid ourselves of Article 9 so that Japan can participate more fully in the War of Terrorism Against the World. Whether the video and images of the alleged beheadings are real or computer generated does not matter at this point since the public has swallowed the story hook, line and sinker. No outrage in the comment section of Japan Times when Obama bombs a wedding party with a drone strike, but one fake beheading video of a Japanese journalist, Kenji Goto, and we have Japans 911 with the predictable hysteria. In fact, the video does not show any beheading but a ridiculous scene where the terrorist begins to saw away at the journalists neck with a knife, while the victim calmly cooperates. There is no video of an actual beheading as would take place by sword as occurs in Saudi Arabia by public execution. The entire narrative is suspicious and appears to be another staged, false flag terror event, in a long line of public deceptions such as 9/11, 7/7 London Bombings, the Boston Marathon Bombing, Sandy Hook, and a number of supposed beheadings against foreign journalists carried out by ISIS (36; 37). Japan is a country easily hypnotized by the media and the sheeple operate according to emotions and superficial reasoning, not logical debate or critical analysis (as everywhere). The Japanese are to be deeply concerned with the fate of two journalists but could care less about the victims of Obamas drone strikes. They have been brainwashed into an unthinking nationalism. The Japan Times ran a headline confirming the fact that Goto had been beheaded, but then in the first sentence admits it is apparently true. No reference is given for the evidence, just an online video and no description of the beheading (38). The NSA cant trace these videos back to their origin but they can track all digital data of every other person on the planet other than ISIS terrorists? This was already indicated by Eric Blaires George Orwell in 1984. The plan for this crap was detailed decades ago. They are now just unrolling it. http://libyaagainstsuperpowermedia.org/2015/02/17/libya-the-pawn-in-the-evil-zionist-game-video-isis-beheading/ Libya is about to be reinvaded. Even if I was to dismiss ALL other evidence, someone is funding them with resources and with such an interconnected financial world, it doesnt seem like one could go very far unless they wanted them to. ISIS is a creation of the Mossad to get the stupid goys to fight israhells enemies. What if someone made a beheading scene I Washington DC? London? Jerusalem? Would they bomb them then?? We have the best enemies money can buy. -The late Stanley Monteith Israeli Mossad are getting very sloppy lately.

1	NEVADA: Harry Reid (D) vs. Sharron Angle (R) Campaign bus name: 
3	Denver PD Caught Stealing Peoples Assets, Using Them to Pay for Massive Propaganda CampaignBy Justin Gardner The media affairs unit is made up of very well-paid employees who push their message in social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Last year the DPD spent $450,000 on six employees in the media team, which is far more than six cops on the beat would make. However, an investigation by Denver7 ABC found that the DPD has been using funds derived from civil asset forfeiture to pay for much of this propaganda campaign. This may constitute a violation of policy, as those funds are only supposed to be used for equipment and training. According to the report more than $120,000 from that fund was used to buy equipment for DPDs media relations unit, including an Apple desktop editing system, a MacBook Pro computer and even spent $22,000 developing an app for iPhone and Android. Thats not all. They spent $2,460 to pay for entries into a local Emmy competition. The funds for this bizarre act were requested under police training, even though there were no seminars or instructional time. Detective Nick Rogers, head of Denvers police union, has something to say about that: Winning an Emmy is a self-promotion, self-gratification type of situation that has nothing to do with getting better at your profession. Were spending that kind of money on videos that dont drop the crime rate. [Videos] dont solve burglaries and robberies. Thats our mission and I think we lost sight of that. When Denver7 asked Police Deputy Chief Matt Murray about funding, he initially lied and denied the money came from civil asset forfeitureuntil they presented him with the records. Murray then claimed that the campaign helps us do a better job in reaching out to the community. However, the sad irony is that the DPD is stealing cash and assets from innocent Denver citizens to pay for their outreach to Denver citizens. The insidious practice of civil asset forfeiture (CAF) is alive and well in Colorado. The scheme, which takes places across most of the U.S., allows law enforcement to seize cash and assets from people on the mere suspicion (often fabricated) of a crime, and they can keep this loot even if the person is never charged with a crime. In some cases, the person can get his or her assets back, but the legal fees and headache of dealing with authorities are often too much to make it worthwhile. In Colorado, though, a loophole allows law enforcement to keep confiscated cash even after charges are dismissed. An untold number of abuses have taken place using CAF, such as Joseph Rivers, who lost his life savings of $16,000 to the DEA while he was traveling to Los Angeles to pursue a music career. The Mesa County Sheriffs Office in Colorado sent 20 lawyers to a ski resort conference using CAF funds. According to the Institute for Justices national report on civil forfeiture, Policing for Profit, from 2000 to 2013 Colorado law enforcement agencies collected nearly $12.8 million in state forfeiture funds and an additional $47.7 million through the Department of Justices equitable sharing program. Given such large sums, its little wonder law enforcement is blocking State Senator Laura Woods from even getting a hearing on a bill that requires reporting of seizures of private property and law enforcements expenditures of forfeiture proceeds. Chalk up the Denver Police Department as another abuser of the injustice of civil asset forfeiture. The fact that it is using these seizures for a massive propaganda campaign makes it all that much more offensive. Image: ACLU.org Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com #8,659 on the list of why we admire and respect the police, so very much.. And these are the people that have the temerity of accusing 1% motorcycle clubs of being crime syndicates? Pot kettle black. There is no bigger or more well organized crime syndicate than the police and they prove it almost on a daily basis. Removing the competition, just like our troops in Afganistan protecting one poppy field and destroying another. Ex-cops will probably form the most dangerous gangs roaming the streets after the economy collapses. Their lawlessness in a functioning society will soon become murderous in a collapsed society, but also they are organized and will be in every community unlike other gangs who will be a passing danger; bikers, drug and criminal gangsters, communists, fascists, religious fundamentalists, ethnic gangs etc. We are going to need reliable police officers on our side, in a way weve never known before. You mean like a MAFIA!!! Just like speeding tickets, when cops have a quota to fill the act of fining offenders runs amok and you manufacture reasons to give out tickets. Civil asset forfeiture will go the same route. What is said of a nation where you read about the blatant criminality in your justice system on widely public accessed internet sites and then we go about our business as if nothing at all is wrong. Similar things went on in Rome in its last days. China and Russia dont ever need to start a war with us. They will just sit back and wait for us to collapse from the weight of our own corruption. that is why i teach my kids to bulleye paint cans at 75 meters with a 1911. ranges get longer from there depending of the tool being used But where are the reliable officers kept? anyone ever use the writ of quo warranto just a thought would not have to lawyer up ( at least thats my impression). Wow, I would have thought the vaunted US Constitution would have protected the public from government appropriation without compensation! 
2	All White People Owe Us Reparations, If You Dont Give It, We Are Coming To Take It [VIDEO] Under Obamas Administration, weve seen an escalation in racial tension in this country. Americans are being fed a one-sided story by the mainstream media, but videos like this one show a growing hostility towards white people in this country. Footage like this cannot be ignored. If liberals are going to tell a story about racism in this country, they need to be aware of threats like this. This is absolutely outrageous. Do you agree? 
3	Will Detroit Be The First Major Chinese City In The United States?Michael Snyder Once upon a time, Detroit was the greatest manufacturing city in the history of the world and it had the highest per capita income in the entire country. But now it is a rotting, decaying, bankrupt hellhole that is in desperate need of a savior, and Michigan Governor Rick Snyder appears to be fully convinced that China can be that savior. To Snyder, encouraging foreigners to invest money and buy up properties wont cost the state government much, but it could potentially have great benefits In other words, Snyder wants China to save Detroit since nobody in this country is going to. Snyder has also taken a couple of additional steps to encourage immigration and foreign investment, including opening up something calledan Office for New Americans In essence, Snyder has done just about everything except roll out the welcome mat for the Chinese. But this is nothing new for Governor Snyder. In fact, he has been making overtures to China for years And when we talk about the Chinese domination of Detroit, this is not something that is just future tense. This is something that is already happening right now. For example, the following is an excerpt from a CNBC article that discussed how Chinese companies are already aggressively putting down roots in Detroit The transformation that has taken place in that region of the country is absolutely remarkable. 48 percent of the manufacturing jobs in the state of Michigan were lost between December 2000 and December 2010. Our trade deficit with China was largely responsible for that. And now we are relying on China to come in and salvage the ruins of our gutted economic infrastructure. Not only that, but the Chinese are also eagerly buying up homes at extremely depressed prices all over Detroit. According to CNN, Detroit is already number four on the list of the top 10 destinations for Chinese homebuyers. In many cases, Chinese buyers are scooping up properties without even looking at them first. Just check out what one Detroit real estate broker told Quartz last July And they arent just interested in Detroit. As I have written about previously, one Chinese company known as Sino-Michigan Properties LLC actually had plans to buy 200 acres of land near the little town of Milan, Michigan and turn it into a China City with artificial lakes, a Chinese cultural center and hundreds of housing units for Chinese citizens. For much more on how Chinese buyers are gobbling up real estate all over the nation, please see my previous article entitled The Chinese Are Acquiring Large Chunks Of Land In Communities All Over America. All of this is just another indication of how rapidly the global economic landscape is changing. Since the late 19th Century, the United States has been the most dominant economic power in the world. But now that reign is ending. Just recently, a new study released by the World Bank indicated that China is nowthe largest economy in the world in terms of purchasing power And a couple of years ago China passed the United States and become the leader in global trade. As the Chinese economy continues to rise and the U.S. economy continues to decline, the shift in global power is going to become even more dramatic. Yes, let us hope for the best for our failing economy, but you also might want to teach your kids to speak Chinese just in case. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

3	Building Communities From the Food Upselfnews Post In the independent media we often discuss the need to get away from fiat money and into tangible assets like gold and silver. While essential for those who have the means to do so, fewer and fewer people have the ability to buy even a few ounces of gold, since the savings account of the average American stands at around $3,800. You might be amazed that the price of one ounce of gold can put you well on your way to food independence, or even help create a small business. So, lets take a quick look at some practical solutions that can empower individuals and local communities by returning to the land, as well as taking advantage of new methods for to modify what returning to the land really entails. There is exciting progress being made even in areas hardest hit by the current economic crisis. In fact, it might even be because communities have been hard hit that,similarto the necessary innovations in places like Greece, we are seeing evidence that people are transforming from a mindset of crisis avoidance and survival toward rendering the concept of economic crisis as irrelevant. This second video discusses what can be offered by a small-scale aquaponic system. The closed circle of fish feeding nutrients to vegetables provides year-round healthy food. For those who have the individual financial means, or would like to help educate their local community about what a large-scale aquaponics operation entails and can provide, the following videofrom Purdue Extension, NOAA, Sea Grant Illinois-Indiana is an excellent way to open a discussion. It also gives statistics on what level of production can be expected, what fish/plant combination is best, what type of feed is best, the different aquaponic methods and a thorough discussion of the feedback cycle. With dedication and proper planning, everyone has the ability to survive the looming food crisis by producing their own food and/or working within their community to organize the means to ensure that no one remains dependent on upon government programs. Once a community finds itself with the means to provide the most basic necessities of survival and do it in a healthy fashion the move from stability to growth paves the way toward a long-lasting, thriving local and independent economy built upon production. Have you or your local community been involved in planning similar low-cost solutions to food and economic crises? We would love to hear your ideas in the comment section below. Hat tip to Local Org for highlighting these videos and other practical solutions to political problems. Sources: Other key source: Read other articles by selfnews PostHere 
2	Sexy Photos Of Fox News Host Andre Tantaros Leaked To The Public Andrea Tantaros is one of the top anchors at Fox News. Shes also been a topic of debate among liberals: just how sexy is a news anchor allowed to be before they are considered unprofessional? According to reports, Tantaros career is facing challenges after her personal Instagram account was leaked to the press. Some of her photos are quite revealingfrom nights out to days spent on the beach in itty-bitty bathing suits. Now, shes facing backlash, given that Fox News anchors are required to look professional at all times. What do you think? Did Tantaros make a bad career move, or is the public taking things too far? 
3	Obama and Biden Campaigning to Disarm AmericansDaniel Jackson That doesnt mean this is the end of the process. This is the beginning of the process, Biden was quoted as saying in a report by the Associated Press. Despite overwhelming anger towards the planned banning of hundreds of weapons and the outright attack on guns in general, Biden went on to claim that they are simply following what the American people want. The American people are way ahead of their political leaders and we, the president and I and the mayors, intend to stay current with the American people. We believe that weapons of war have no place on our streets, Biden said. Sadly, this tactic is being used throughout the corporate media with dozens of cable news pundits claiming over and over again that Americans want gun control, while using rigged polls taken by corporate companies to back their alarmist propaganda. Meanwhile,President Obama appeared alongside mothers of gun victims on Thursday to once againuse the horrific death of children as a backdrop to push the gun control agenda. Less than 100 days ago that happened, and the entire country was shocked and the entire country pledged we would do something about it and this time would be different, Obama said. Shame on us if weve forgotten. I havent forgotten those kids. Shame on us if weve forgotten. {.} The notion that two months or three months after something as horrific as what happened in Newtown happens and weve moved on to other things? Thats not who we are. Thats not who we are. And I want to make sure every American is listening today. We need everybody to remember how we felt 100 days ago and make sure that what we said at that timewasntjust a bunch of platitudes, that we meant it. Obama then went on to use numerous fallacies in a psychological manipulation attempt, including the use of rigged statistics to put forth the idea that only a few crazies stand against his political agenda. 90% of Americans, 90%, support background checks that will keep criminals and people who have been found to be a danger to themselves or others from buying a gun. {.} I ask every American to find out where theirmemberof Congress stands on these ideals, if they are not part of the 90%. you should ask them why not, why are you a part of the 10%? The sheer amount of staged psychologicalmanipulationin Obamas speech would put most Hollywood directors to shame. Apparently, our commander in chief has no problem standing on stage pretending the issue is about dead children when in reality its about a plan that has been in the making for years. That plan includes first the registration of all firearms with the federal government, and the eventualwholesaleconfiscation of most if not all of those firearms. This used to be a conspiracy theory, but now its obviously conspiracy fact. As Mayors Against Illegal Guns uses billionaire globalist Michael Bloombergs money to hold so-called grassroots rallies across the country, which are actually just echoing the exact talking points put out by Biden, Obama, and the entire gun-grabbing Congress, it ismonumentallyimportant that real, everyday Americans continue to fight for liberty and speak out in support of the 2nd Amendment. It is clear that its foes are not going anywhere. Sources: linkwithin_text=Related Articles:

One of the members was shot with a sniper. Another committed suicide by blowing herself up. That is three less ISIS scum walking the streets. Good job to the French police for tracking them down and killing them. Do you think Obama should be doing more to help eliminate ISIS? Lunaticwolf (@Chelmih) November 18, 2015 
1	In a startling, improbable turn of events, a reader of the popular men's entertainment magazine Penthouse recently became involved in a real-life sex-fantasy scenario, the likes of which he had previously believed impossible for 'an ordinary guy like me,' Forum sources reported Monday. This <I>Penthouse </I>reader's recent camping trip unexpectedly turned into a weekend of wild erotic abandon with three gorgeous, nymphomaniacal, bisexual sorority co-eds. His name and address have been withheld by request. 'I never thought anything like this would ever happen to me,' the surprised and delighted readerwhose name and address are being withheld at this timetold reporters at a press conference following publication of his tale in the February issue of Penthouse. Penthouse 'Though I have read and enjoyed the letters in Penthouse's Forum section for many years, I must admit that, until now, I had always thought they were made up. It just seemed too much of a stretch of credulity to believe that they are true, real-life tales of actual readers,' the man said. 'But a recent experience caused me to put aside my skepticism.' The man also noted that, although he had been a fan of the Penthouse Forum letters section for a long time, this was the first time he had ever written in himself. Experts at the Penthouse Forum Anecdote-Veracity Verification Institute confirmed that the man's account is authentic. 'By carefully examining such stories for hidden psychosocial inconsistencies, we are able, with an alarming degree of accuracy, to determine whether the erotic-exploit depictions we receive from around the world are true, or merely the product of the overactive imaginations of frustrated, sexually dissatisfied daydreamers,' Penthouse's Dr. Emil Shank said. 'Upon close examination of this most recent submission, we feel confident in stating that it is 100 percent authentic, despite how unbelievable the story may at first appear to non-experts.' 'And what a story it is!' Shank added. He then emitted a long, low whistle as a nonverbal indicator of just how sexually arousing the anonymous man's experience was. 'Before I go any further, let me first describe myself and my friend and camping buddy, Jake,' the reader told reporters. 'We are both in our mid-20s, and are extremely muscular and athletic, with tanned, sculpted bodies, luscious locks of blonde hair, and tight, shapely buns.' The reader went on to state that both he and his friend Jake are extraordinarily well-endowed, with penis lengths of 10 and 12 inches, respectively, well above the national penis-length average of five and three-quarters inches. 'Now that you know what we look like,' the reader continued, 'let me just say that when Jake and I decided to make plans for an ordinary weekend camping getaway, the last thing on our minds was the possibility of running into three gorgeous, nymphomaniacal, bi-sexual sorority co-eds, miles from civilization, surrounded by the primal wilderness of unspoiled nature, where our passions could reach untold heights far from the disapproving eyes of society.' 'But,' he clarified, 'I'm getting ahead of myself.' The unnamed reader then recounted how, while fishing, he and Jake were surprised to discover a young, unclothed woman bathing at the nearby shoreline, her breasts, buttocks and vagina in full view. 'Instead of shrieking off into the woods and covering herself, this woman, whom we later learned was named Kiki, invited us to row our canoe over to her and participate in sexual activity so explicit and erotic that we had previously only imagined it in our wildest dreams,' the man said. Also surprising, the reader said, was the fact that, shortly thereafter, he and his friend were introduced to Kiki's two roommates, Sandi and Michelle, who engaged in erotic abandon with them for the rest of the weekend. The reader, pausing at intervals to dab his forehead with a small cloth, then offered an in-depth account of the many sex acts performed by the five consenting adults, including details regarding: whose genitals were being sucked, probed and stimulated by whom at what times; which women were chesty and which were petite; the color and shaved-or-unshaved status of the genital hair of each female participant; and the relative positions and frequency of orgasm experienced by each of the two-, three-, four- and five-person coital combinations which occurred over course of the 48-hour period. Reporters present at the press conference agreed that the account was so erotic and sexually explicit that, if recounted in private, it would likely cause one to become aroused and even masturbate to orgasm. 'In short, let's just say that Jake and I are looking forward to camping again real soon!' the reader said, concluding the press conference. 'Jake,' last name unknown, could not be reached for comment as of press time. 
3	Bombshell: Scientist finds no reliable evidence Ebola virus ever isolated from a human beingJon Rappoport You can read Rasnicks bio at his site, davidrasnick.com. He obtained his PhD from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and spent 25 years working with proteases (a class of enzymes) and protease inhibitors. He is the author of the book, The Chromosomal Imbalance Theory of Cancer. He was a member of the Presidential AIDS Advisory Panel of South Africa. The subject of our conversation was the isolation of the Ebola virus from humans. Has it ever been done? Direct isolation is far different from diagnostic tests such as antibody or PCR, which are both indirect methods of assessment. In previous articles, Ive covered the irrelevance of these two tests. Any discussion of the Ebola virus must begin with the question of direct isolation. The whole presumption of an Ebola outbreak and epidemic rests on that question. Was the Ebola virus ever purified and isolated from a human? Here is what Rasnick wrote, after his search of the published literature: I have examined in detail the literature on isolation and Ems [EM: electron microscope pictures] of both Ebola and Marburg viruses. I have not found any convincing evidence that Ebola virus (and for that matter Marburg) has been isolated from humans. There is certainly no confirmatory evidence of human isolation. I searched the CDCs website and came up dry. The CDC claims 7728 Ebola virus cases have been laboratory-confirmed. I asked the CDC what constitutes isolation of Ebola virus from human specimens. I also asked for the protocol for isolating Ebola virus. [No reply from the CDC as of this date.] Virtually everything that is known and done with these viruses is in animals and cell culture. Rasnick continued: There is the possibility that Ebola and Marburg viruses represent laboratory artifacts. Im inclined to think this is the case. What I mean is the viruses are real but may exist at very low levels in wild animals and even humans, well-below pathogenic [disease-causing] levels. These passenger viruses may be activated and amplified in laboratory culturing conditions designed for that purpose in order to produce enough viral particles to be characterized. Viruses causing real pathology are abundant in the diseased tissues. You can see them using EM on the primary tissue. You do not need to amplify the virus in cell culture. Im always suspicious when cell culture is the only way a virus is observable by EM. Rasnicks findings are a direct challenge to the basis of the whole Ebola outbreak. If indeed the Ebola virus has never been isolated from a human being, the so-called epidemic is unproven. To say this is shocking would be a vast understatement. When public-health officials and governments claim there is an epidemic, the burden of proof is on them. At this point, they must, first and foremost, show someone, somewhere, correctly and directly and undeniably isolated Ebola virus from a human being. Lets see the evidence. Now.

3	Trial of BP Over Deepwater Horizon Set for MondayJeremy Truitt It all started in April 2010 when a massive explosion on board the platform killed 11 workers and injured many others. The platform ultimately sank and set off a 3-month frenzy to cap the well as oil continued to gush into the Gulf. BP says it will fight the governments charges of gross negligence, saying We have always been open to settlements on reasonable terms faced with demands that are excessive and not based on reality or the merits of the case, we are going to trial. Transcript with links continues below According to the Times-Picayune, the difference between negligence and gross negligence under the Clean Water Act means the difference between a $4 billion fine and a $17 billion fine. The editorial cites previous BP safety violations, saying The bottom line is simple: BP should pay the highest penalties possible to undo the grievous damage it has done. Were in a situation now where BP is pointing fingers at people but the reality is, why dont we sit down and just try to get this settled, BP? And why dont you just accept that it was a very terrible situation that you created? So why hasnt BP simply settled? A lawyer involved with the case told Bloomberg that with BP shifting blame to its sub-contractors Halliburton and Transocean and with 5 states involved, the case is simply too complex. The Anniston Star sums up the difficulty, saying: Even if all are determined, in some way, to be guilty, how does one divide the blame in dollars? It will not be an easy task. The company still has time to settle should they come to a last minute agreement with government lawyers, but since its already been several years, that seems unlikely.

2	Andrea Tantaros And Geraldo Get Into It Over Refugee Debate [VIDEO] Over the past few years, Geraldo Rivera has repeatedly displayed his ignorance on Fox News, and its clear that his coworkers have had enough of him. Recently, on the networks show Outnumbered, Geraldo appeared as the episodes #OneLuckyMan. What started as an innocent segment quickly turned into a heated argument between Rivera and host Andrea Tantaros. The two were clearly at odds when it came to the subject of Muslim refugees entering our country. The argument began when panelists brought up the current escalation of sexual assault in Germany and other European countries. Chancellor Angela Merkel has been vocal in her efforts to combat the growing crime. Watch the two hosts go at it in the segment below and tell us what you think. Is it time for Geraldo to be booted from Fox News? 
2	BREAKING: Obama Finally Admits Defeat, Makes Massive Announcement About His Agenda According to recent reports, the Fifth Circuit of Appeals just denied President Obamas request to lift the injunction put in place by U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Hanen to stop executive amnesty from being implemented. The department believes the best way to achieve this goal is to focus on the ongoing appeal on the merits of the preliminary injunction itself, Justice Department spokesman Patrick Rodenbush told reporters. As a result, the Obama administration attends to continue to press the Fifth Circuit with arguments on the legal merits of the presidents unilateral actions. On July 6, the Justice Department is set to return to court on the presidents behalf, but an official ruling is not expected to take place until 2016. Temporarily, Obama has for all intents and purposes, lost the case and will be unable to move forward with his agenda of granting illegal immigrants work permits and certain citizenship. What do you think of the ruling? Is President Obamas plan clearly unconstitutional.

With all of the violence and chaos in our country and the world, you would think that Michelle Obama would use her influence to help solve problems. You would think she would be too busy to make meaningless appearances on Hollywood TV shows. You would think that, but youd be wrong Apparently, Michelle thinks that she should spend her time appearing on a segment of Carpool Karaoke on The Late Late Show With James Corden. Michelle decided to show her respect to fallen officers in Baton Rouge by singing and dancing with rapper Missy Elliot for a solid 15 minutes. President Obama showed the same careless attitude this week when he remained in Marthas Vineyard to golf instead of paying his respects to the many Americans suffering from the flood in Louisiana. What do you think? Are ready for the Obamas to be out of the White House for good? Are they a total embarrassment to this country? 
2	Hillary Caught In Massive Act Of Corruption That Could End Her Career For Good The Clinton Foundation is at the center of controversy after silently removing its rules forbidding foreign governments from making donations. According to reports from the Wall Street Journal, the foundation has raised at least $48 million from overseas governments. Notably, topping the list of donors is Saudi Arabia, who donated $10 million. Another supporter is a Canadian government agency that is interested in promoting the Keystone XL pipeline. The Clinton Foundation is a philanthropy, period, Craig Minassian told Fox News, denying allegations that these donations could be used on a presidential campaign for Hillary. What do you think? Are you suspicious of the donations the organization is receiving? Is Hillary Clinton a sell-out?

1	Noting that the 26-year-old with unfulfilled physical needs is easygoing and really fun to hang out with, several of Sarah Valettas male friends told reporters Tuesday that the sexually frustrated woman is pretty much one of the guys. Sources close to the situation confirmed that the woman, who is constantly consumed by carnal longing, is remarkably laid-back, easy to talk to, and generally willing to grab a beer without much advance notice. Sarahs really awesome, said Valettas friend Mark McKean, 27, explaining that the perennially single, sexually pent-up woman is completely comfortable kicking back and watching sports, playing cards, or just shooting the shit. Well go out to the bars, well be joking around, and she joins right in. You can say pretty much anything around her. The thing is, Im not that great at talking to women, but with Sarah, its not like that, McKean continued. Shes not dramatic; you dont have to walk around on eggshells with her. Sarah never gets mad about stupid little things. Shes definitely one of the gang. Valetta, who frequently spends time with the group of friends at their apartments or at local dive bars and aches deeply for romantic affection, is widely regarded by her male companions as the coolest girl they have ever met. In addition, the marketing associate who is preoccupied with fears that she is invisible to men is reportedly more fun to be around than any other woman, according to the men interviewed. You dont have to be on guard around her, said coworker and friend Ted Reiner, 26, a man to whom Valetta gives awesome dating advice and whom she has specifically styled her hair and clothes to please and hopefully arouse. I dont have to worry about what I say to her. Im never trying to impress her or anything. Plus, shes not high-maintenance at all. And shes not crazy or clingy or anything. Shes just fits right in with the rest of us, Reiner added. A lot of the time were having so much fun laughing and joking openly with each other about women or sex that we forget shes even a girl. Shes that cool. Emphasizing his appreciation for Valettas spontaneity, bawdy sense of humor, and love of action moviesall attributes that his own girlfriend does not possessReiner said that the tautly wound ball of sexual yearning is a cherished member of his friend group. The undersexed woman, who reportedly feels an agonizing mixture of longing and despair whenever she spends time with her male friends, told reporters that she is lucky to have them. Those guys are the best, said Valetta, whose acute, hidden craving for sexual contact is ever present and permeates nearly every one of her thoughts. Theyre such a blast. Im always going over to one of their places to watch TV, order some food, [get so sexually distracted that I can barely focus on anything but my own carnal starvation, and then as soon as I get home descend into debilitating worries that Ill always be this terribly, unfathomably alone]. We have a lot of fun. Plus, its just a load off to have friends who I can be totally myself around, Valetta added. 
2	BREAKING: Federal Judge Carter Orders Obama To Court To Prove Eligibility According to reports, a California judge tentatively scheduled a trial for the end of January in a case that officially challenges Barack Obamas eligibility to be the president of the United States. In a process that would skirt impeachment, the trial would answer questions as to whether the president is qualified under the requirements of the Constitution. If the case is heard in the courtroom, it would mark the first time the dispute has been taken to open court, according to one of the attorneys working on the case. Although it has been a difficult path to get the case heard, it appears the trial is officially on the books. And it appears that there is a strong list of plaintiffs. The judge did not make an immediate decision on a motion to grant discover, which would open Obamas concealed records. Alternatively, the judge also did not rule to dismiss the case, commenting that there are legitimate constitutional concerns in the case, that need to be addressed and resolved. The case would be the first time that the evidence would be heard in the court of law, as the proposal has previously been rejected by other states as well as the Supreme Court. The suit alleges that Obama is a citizen of Indonesia, and in fact, possibly still citizen of Kenya, usurping the position of the president of the United States of America and the commander-in-chief. What do you think? Will the case be heard? 
3	Russian Millionaire Founder of RT Discovered Dead In Washington DC Hotel RoomBy John Vibes Lesin, who is said to be a close associate to Russian President Putin, was staying at the Hotel Dupont when he passed away this week, and very few details about the case have been made public. According to ABC, the Metropolitan Police Department is now investigating his death, but his family was quick to say that the cause of death was a heart attack. Lesins death comes at a time where he was surrounded in controversy, especially in the United States. RT, the Russia-based news source that Lesin founded has become very controversial in the US for challenging the Western narrative of foreign policy and privacy issues. Some US politicians have suggested that RT be banned in the US for spreading propaganda, while others have been blatant enough to attack Lesin personally. Some US Senators, including Roger Wicker of Mississippi, recently called for the Department of Justice to open an investigation into Lesins finances. Wicker was concerned that Lesin made too much money, something that was really none of his business. That a Russian public servant could have amassed the considerable funds required to acquire and maintain these assets in Europe and the United States raises serious questions, Wicker said. Lesin was 57 years old, an age where heart attacks happen, but not extremely often. The president has a high appreciation for Mikhail Lesins massive contribution to the creation of modern Russian mass media, the Kremlins press service said on Saturday. The Russian Embassy in the US put out the following statement: Our consular officials had an opportunity toconfirm that the Russian national who passed away inDC is indeed Mikhail Lesin. Out ofrespect tothe privacy and sensitivity ofthe matter we are not atliberty todisclose any other information, and would ask you torefer all further requests tohis family and the law enforcement officials.

I cant believe how such people take unbelievable chances. The D.C./Alexandria/Arlington area is one of the last places for anyone who is involved in a real news/truth position or government exposure enterprise to be in. Denver and Colorado Springs get second and 3rd place behind D.C. for dangerous agency places. You could easily be targeted by 5 different agencies and over a hundred agents in these areas. Hillary has two billion dollars lets investigate that. Investigate is a good step. Look at Iceland. Investigated the banks, seized them, just sold one, and every Icelandic citizen is getting a check for about $230,000. That will never, never, never happen in the US. Most Americans are stupid; Americans are the most apolitical people on this planet. Your average American knows more about NFL and Snooki ask an American about Putin and they think its a type of golf club. Youre right on the money friend, I received a compilation of info about the NWO, the Bushes, Clintons, and I just couldnt wrap my brain around it being the truth. I didnt want to believe the John Birch Society and all this info 28-30 years ago! There was warning about federalization of the police too, etc., etc.. Teens need to be made aware of these counter culture and freedom deviousness in order to counter their brain washing in school! John Birch Society was spot on for their predictions. They were attacked viciously by Leftist political media for their revelations on what was to come. Brave New World was taught in the school system without the actual meaning/consequences being told. The society [USA] was Coming along nicely with the plan according to Aldus Huxley, still living during the revisited publication in the 1960s, the years of LBJs Great Society War on Poverty. Liberal Leftists Progressive T.G.S.W.O.P. subsidized the ever increasing percentage of Feral relationships and their spawn of perpetual dependency addiction. Drug, [prescribed as well as illicitSoma] culture, financed and given liberal free time to enjoy it? by naive tax Payers, began its role in historic proportions across the USA. Demonized are the rapidly dwindling vestiges of the Only historically sustainable socioeconomic system, Traditional Family with role models, morals and Faith. The prosperous, productive US system previously dominant. Look up the work of the late Mae Brussells, an investigative reporter bit hard to find nowadays but well worth it. She was killed for what she revealed. True, Americans are far more apolitical than Europeans. On the other hand, most Europeans are not fully aware of the level of enslavement behind NWO agendas and went along with the EU regional governance system. Among western nations, France is taking the lead on institutionalizing limits on free speech. Sweden is becoming a cashless society. Australia is going full on Big Brother, esp. with vaccination edicts. Americans didnt corner the market on being clueless sheep, the dumbing down and mind control is a global problem with the US, being the heart of the NWO empire, subject to more mind control and propaganda than the rest of the world. Thirty years ago, a US insurrection would have been a disaster and major setback for TPTB, not so much now that the Middle East regional government project is much closer to completion. Human nature and brainwashing in dumbed down education systems are making us look like easily manipulated chimps, and thats an insult to chimpanzees. You had better check that fact. If in fact every Icelander received $230.000 dollars. The entire population of Iceland is 321,000. Multiply those numbers and your calculator will not have enough zeros. : With that statement of utopian dreamland, you just made Iceland, with a total GDP of $16.7 billion and per capita total wealth of $51,000, one of the wealthiest nations in the entire world LOL After the EU bailout, they Owe multiple times their GDP in debt. Iceland, even with its world class geothermal and hydroelectric power built by international interests, does not produce enough trade to fuel their economy, without massive imports, Aluminum [owned/built by Rio Tinto and other international conglomerates] being the most viable export. Fishing is next. Their system is National Socialists. As such, no matter if you contribute to the productivity or Not, you receive free money. Many citizens prefer to Not contribute as is a natural reaction to Free Stuff. Inflation? Fluctuating, at times it is around 20 to 25%. Free money is not Free. Its about $234.00 per personaccording to the article I read the other day, on WND I believe. The State of Alaska, in great political fanfare, gives each citizen anywhere from $1,000, to over $2,000 Each/Every Year [depending on production and market revenue] in compensation for the geographical areas dwindling Oil resources. Interesting that the media despised, Sarah Palin, was the driving force behind the program. The money does not go far in Alaska, where costs of services and goods are very high. Best situation in Alaska [almost everywhere across the USA of today] is to have a unionized Govt job with all of the seniority/tenure benefits and full retirement, if future comfort is a priority. 321,000 x $230,000 is 73,830,000,000.00 thats 73 billion 830Million , that doesnt sound all that far fetched , but again I dont know their economy , considering the terrible wealth of the Rockefellers and Rothschilds, and what they have done to this nation, they would not be in prison, they would die in a most brutal fashion, I have read somewhere the wealth of the entire planet can be divided between two principle banking families, the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds , and their aggregate wealth is over 600 Trillion Little book published during the 1960s, None Dare Call it Conspiracy, followed another None Dare book with less current information. Both described the interesting history of the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Bilderburgs (city builders) and other names such as Vanderbilt [Van from der biltcity], known to this day. Interesting in the fact that they are politically, intrinsically related. Not far fetched as considered the world population at the time. Marriages between powerful [even across international borders] royalty is more often than not, arranged. In example: Russias Czar Nicholas was married to British Royalty. The society we prosper within today was built by the investments, the funds, the Insurance programs, the planned societies dependent on those people that are demonized by the political leftists, as evil, rich. Fact is they are still quite influential in all of the wealth redistribution evident in the worlds great structures, museums, hospitals and countless other socioeconomic positives we all take for granted. I do not particularly like to think of the growing numbers of low level bureaucrats that assume the society given powers of today. as their own. I have experienced working a lifetime for International interests. Quite rewarding actually. Not evil, not restrictive. The greedy? rich, through their international corporations, treated myself and associates quite well. Of course were we expected to Produce and earn Profit. .The only historically sustainable economic system. There is a really extensive website on the history of the Rockefellers and Rothschilds going into very great detail regarding Hitler , Stalin , etcAnd their blood relations to these two banking families, the Rothschilds are the bankers for the Vatican, anyway the website is forbidden knowledge Skolnicks Report is another website dealing with what goes on behind the scenes hidden from public view. Czar Nicholas was married to a minor German princess, who in turn was descended from British Royalty. I believe she was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Queen Victorias descendants married into numerous European royal families, and spread hemophilia all over the place (including to the czars son). Hemophilia was not too bad, considering that syphilis was spread all over the world by other ..adventuresome ? Europeans.. :) You most likely know all of this, but here is a brief rundown from family dealing within Russia today.The Czar era historical artifacts, travel the world, and were on display in Santa Fe NM a few years back. Interesting, in fact of the countless photographs his media savvy wife collected. Depicting daily life across Russia, they are a well preserved record of the times.. Cameras were very new, rare at the time. The Czar tried mightily to get the Russian economy to catch up with the rapidly developing industrial world. Convincing them to visit his palaces [not even Mcmansions by todays definitions] he invited countless industrialists and world leaders to Russia, to interest them in helping in the development. The Bolsheviks were not willing to relinquish power accumulating through their masses of uneducated people. One wealthy person became notoriously involved and Russians that remembered him respected his loans to slow the spread of starvation brought on by Communisms bureaucratic follies, Armand Hammer convinced some influential industrialists of the word to help Russia. Ford tractors from the USA became available for the first time. Interestingly, as if in a Communist induced time capsule, along with rubber tired [if lucky], animal drawn wagons so common, many were still maintained [due to Russias ingenious shade tree mechanics] and operating during the later years of stagnant Communist Russia. The primary problem which arose from the tsarevichs hemophilia was the introduction of Rasputin to the Imperial Family. I greatly enjoy reading the history of czarist Russia, and I had not read most of what was in your post. Very interesting. Except that I have read that Armand Hammer was something of a Stalin apologist. I believe one article I read said he had the franchise to manufacture lead pencils in the USSR. Sounds silly, but I know I read that. Also, Albores father owned a bloc of stock in Armand Hammers Occidential Petroleum. The Clinton/Bore administration sold the Navys Elk Hills petroleum reserve in California to Occidental. Can you imagine if Reagan had owned stock in, say, Phillips 66 and had sold Elk Hills to that company. With family doing business within Russia to this day, I find everything about the formerly mystery enshrouded country interesting, as you apparently do as well. Fascinating how their culture is controlled. Manipulative scholars of todays academia [within the USA] are still tinkering, adjusting, fine tuning the methods that were state of the art within Russia at the time. One of the many countless incidents of irony was the downing of 007 near Russias territory. The aircraft that downed the airliner had no more than a few minutes of flying time due to fuel consumption. Decisions had to be made within seconds. The fateful decision to launch was confirmed/ordered from ground control political.. within no more than five seconds. The Russian aircraft flight systems that brought the target into range were very obsolete vacuum tube technology.. still deadly obviously. Francis Gary Powers was another incident of which a film is now released. Hope to watch and see how hollywood handles the history aspect. Rasputin was an adept manipulator for sure. Females are often quite naive when under the spell of professional manipulative men and women. I enjoy reading about the logic of Vlad the Impaler and his unorthodox [to say the least] methods [quite effective] for deterring the muslim hoards repeatedly attempting to take over his country. Russia with its rich history and experience deserves far more educated media attention than the politically controlled media of the USA of today is capable of delivering. Thank you for your insight. If you havent seen the movies Nicholas and Alexandra and Dr. Zhivago I imagine youd enjoy them. Where do you people get those wild figures? An individual on here commented that he had read that each citizen of Iceland would receive around $230,000 in compensation, another individual offered a correction saying their economy was not strong enough for every person to receive that much money, so I simply calculated the sum of $230,000 by the population of 321,000 which came to $73.8 billion, in this country that is nothing but Icelands GDP for 2014 was about $14 billion, so the individual who offered the correction was probably right, but you never know how much these bankers steal from a nation , in a federal reserve publication from back in the 50s which I still have a copy of, which by the way they no longer print, they state because, of the law of fractionalized lending, the loan of $285 billion of our own money that they loaned to us to fight WW 2 their profits were $1.5 Trillion, yeah you read that correctly just multiply by 7 for that is the fractionalized lending law, they have done this in virtually every nation around the world, they establish a national debt , that the government will never be allowed to pay off, they want collateral against these insane loans and that is how they quickly own the nation , that is how they conquer a nation , money is only a unit of measure like a gallon or kilo, but they have turned money into a commodity, that only they can produce I can only build so many houses,a doctor can only heal so many people,even GM can only produce so many units of all the sorts of things they manufacture, but these bankers can produce unlimited currency , which gives them the ability to buy the entire planet ,..And that is exactly what they are doing, but these guys are communists,fascists,Nazis, and they are planning planetary population reduction, which is genocide, by any other name. The post to which I responded had the figure of $600 trillion in it. Go to a website called forbidden knowledge it contains very detailed history of the Rockefellers and Rothschilds families, another website called Skolnicks Report Also look up the research of a man named Gaylon Ross specifically regarding the Rothschilds and Rockefellers the Rothschilds real family name is Bauer, they are German Most likely you have read in the past One example of acceptable population reduction, within relatively recent history, was Maos Gang of Eight administration and their final realization that National Socialism is economically unsustainable. The Cultural Revolution consisted of forced marching of the non productive sector [including students of the arts, their professors, the perpetually dependency addicted] out of the core cities and into the distant remote countryside. to provide for their own sustenance on rural farms dependent on intense manual labor. Few ever returned. The engineers, the scientists, students of the Hard Sciences, the actual productive sectors were spared. If guns had been used the world would have been outraged. Forced marching of a nations humanity is entirely acceptable. Even viewed as needed exercise by todays Socialists. :) Bio, youre right, and kudos for your critical reasoning. Its a typo. I think I got infected by Alan Dershowitz writing bug. Its $230 and you know what, they will take it! Extended family is from Iceland and prospering out in the competitive international world. They tell about the Free stuff conditions of the National Socialist country, and how it affects the people. Like the USA of today, countless Icelanders, incl some members of family, only do what is absolutely necessary for basic survival. Constantly deriding the Rich [other Productive Icelanders] and begging relatives for money ..so that they can buy the latest snowmobile. Perpetually dependency addicted, dependent on Govt today, they never would have survived the conditions within which their ancestors prospered. When offered the high paying opportunity, they will not even go to sea and fish, like so many self sufficient Icelanders. Fail. Anyone who uses the word bankster is automatically a certified nitwit. Dont tell us Bud, sounds like you work the retail cage at a bank. Bottom line, kill the Fed. Nope. Ive never worked in the banking industry. Thats nothing google Clinton body count Hillary and Bill are murderers. How true! Never forget Katie (the Starbucks murder), ex-aide, friend of M.Lewinsky. OMG, didnt hear about that one. The list never ends. Cant even guess anymore whether the Clintons or the Bushes have longest rap sheets. OMG, you just had to drag the Bushes into a discussion of Her Imperious Majesty. America, home of free speech wants to ban RT how ironic. New Google algorithms, Bill Clintons proposed Ministry of Truth, free speech zones at the Denver DNC coronation of Obama and elsewhere, lawsuits and proposals to fine climate change deniers, etc. Free speech as a basic concept and right is under attack and not just in the US. Maybe the model is Chinas new social credit scoring system which is about as oppressive as a state authority can get. Russia is moving to slowly adopt an internet structure similar to Chinas, having recently run a test to wall Russia off from rest of the world and two years ago Putin signed a law requiring state registration of all bloggers. RT contained a lot of news I like, but they also had some programming straight from what Putin wanted us to think- and evidently thats illegal. Right now theres an investigation into a bunch of Chinese news stations in the US that hid their ownership and broadcast propaganda straight from the Chinese leadership. Its outside the free speech rules. Irony is everywhere, but with the back story sometimes it makes sense. The 9-11 terrorists are inside the Beltway in Washington DC. Nobody is safe; especially the boot lick, minions of the traitors that think they are friends. It was fresh air yes, sooo many times. But when it came to Ukraine and other controversies, it was 100% the pro Russian view. It got to the point where RT news anchors left for refusing to broadcast the party line, and evidently foreign propaganda is illegal in the US. RT is controversial, well maybe when Roseanne Barr is on, but al jazeera is a White House go to news source? You have to take every outlet with a grain of salt. RT supports Russia like Fox News supports the GOP. Good observation and very sage advice. In addition, Al Jazeera was funded by the Globalist Qatar ruling family and apparently organized by BBC operatives another tepid limited hangout organization serving the global elite. Investigate? You cant get the truth out of anyone in D.C. Especially obama or hillary clinton. They are disgusting trailer park trash! It turns my stomach to hear either of them speak! Our people deserve better, and so do our forefathers! The main stream media shouldnt be able to continue in their jobs after the lies told to help the left destroy America! I hate them all. This great nation that has allowed so many people achieve great things is being destroyed by those very same people! Wrong there Lawyers! Trailer park trash what an awkward insult, especially for millionaires. Its as if the worst thing you can think of to call someone is poor. It sounds like you worship the trans-national corporations that bribe the corrupt politicians to bleed our country dry for their own profit. They are the source of our problems; not the oppressed working poor, people of color, LGBT, or Obamacare. You, poor thing, are a victim of fascist propaganda. Turn off Fox News and start thinking for yourself. I wonder what he found . Assisted heart failure? Some time back, I had read that Putin was supposedly the richest man in Russia. Could it be that here we have Lesin possibly trying to catch up with Putins wealth but also change sides between Russia and the USA ?? Laundering Russian Mob money?,..and before he spill the beans!,.you know the rest of the story! Wasnt there another quite similar Russian newsman gunned down on a bridge just down the street from the Kremlin last year? Hmmmm. Was also said to be known by Putin. Odds are quite good that this chap was tapped but by whom them or us? Since we have our current Marxist, facist, communist, socialist, progressive government, what are the chances that a full and critical autopsy will be conducted? If such should be conducted, what are the chances that actual results will be published? One more thing: This chap was HERE which might give him access to the truth about the plane lost in the Sinai. If the truth about the cause of that loss arent advantageous or clear that the Kremlin played no role then the Kremlin wouldnt want to allow any of the real truth to get out would it? Marxist, fascist, communist, socialist, progressive? You arent very bright are you? Marxism and fascism are complete polar opposites. So our government is both extreme left wing with the government of the proletariat controlling all means of production with no private property allowed and at the same time it is also the extreme right wing with militarism, nationalism, authoritarianism and with a melding of state and corporate power? One of those sounds correct. When I hear someone calling our system of government here in the U.S. marxist and fascist I think to myselfthis guy has no idea what hes talking about. Fascism is corporatism and also reflects rule at the top of the pyramid by the international bankers hence the title of Aaron Russos documentary America Freedom to Fascism. TPTB love the Hegelian dialectic as a tool to transform and control humanity, thus they had Fabian socialists infiltrate the US government in the 40s and 50s a catalyst for the McCarthy hearings. The end goal is a form of global totalitarian statism most aplty referred to as Technocracy, explaining why after the 2008 banking crises erupted the leaders appointed to head the governments of Greece and Italy were officially referred to as technocrats in the mainstream media. Whatever we call these hybrid systems, they are tyrannical, driving us into a Bankster run techno-feudal system of extreme control over the masses, China being Brzezinskis model technocracy. For more background, check out the writings and interviews done by Patrick Wood, a Trilateralist and Technocracy academic expert, and respected alt media researcher James Corbett who has at least one technocracy podcast archived. Heart attacks happen, and they can be made to happen. The same is true of cancer, but heart attacks are faster. The weaponized heart attacks are quite effective. If any news agency should be banned it should be ours because they no longer are journalists protecting the public by exposing the govt illegal activities according to our Constitution. Our nightly news is so bias for the Democratic Party and so is the Supreme Court which thinks murdering our young is, you know, a right (and) okay, and, figures it is all right for anybody to change the meaning of words without the consent of the majority.. Journalism is the one thing protected by our Constitution and it should not be protected any more as it is not reporting the news, it is making up the news to reflect their own political viewpoint. So, in reality this Russian guy according to our Constitution has the right to own and run a business the way he wants to. As long as he is not aiding our enemies in war and committing treason and he is not breaking our everyday laws and been convicted by a jury of his own peers, he can pursue his dreams and wishes in this country. Throne-berry Smith act of 2013. Prop a ganda is legal in the us now. With only six companies running the media in the US, RT challenges the official agreed narrative, that can not be allowed by TPTB. To herr Schmalz: Schmalz def: piker, greasy. Now, the manner in which our government is currently conducted is progressive, collective, communistic, Marxist, liberal, faux democratic, facist and all like that. National Socialism NAtionalZI in German, is only able to be sustained by the close working relationship of big Government with big Business. The poor never financially supported anyone. They are the proletariat, the force of the lowly masses so perpetually dependency addicted on big government. Bolshevik Russian term, [attributed to various sources], Useful idiots.. Journalism, the Arts distant from, alien to Hard Science, is one of the lowest paying professions available to graduates. Seems reasonable they would strongly advocate a govt sustained lifestyle. Medias voting records are somewhere above 89-93% Democrat and has been for countless many years. Their liberal leftist tenured professors, those that have never left their comfort zone, their institutions of higher learning, to experience the real world of competitive survival Work. In other words, they done good :) WE DID NOT DO IT!!!! Just like the Hindenburg, We Did Not Do That Either.. One question: did he ever have any dealings with the Clintons? Breitbart and Bishop McFadden. HmI wonder if RT will begin to NOT report on things that make government look bad now, HeyBreitbart did the same thing. Once Andrew Breitbart was killed, his site has been progressing further and further Liberal. RT is state owned/controlled, not independent. Less than a year ago, selfnews Post ran a RT clip of Abby Martin discussing 9/11 to reveal the real truth of 9/11 was the Saudis were the apparent perpetrators (rather than the international banksters and their minions). Guess the Saudis were able to set up the trade tower demolitions too. Lots of limited hangouts on RT. In 2008, I noticed one of my local public television stations was running RT programs. If you follow the PBS money trail, youll find it goes right to the global elite foundations. In short, RT was great eye opening news many times but it also contained one-sided pro-Russian stories that were so obviously from the Russian government that RT anchors quit in protest. A foreign government is not allowed to influence our opinion without disclosing themselves as the source. This guy hope it was just a heart attack, but if he was killed unjustly that sucks like what they did to the Rolling Stone journalist. He probably had a private falling-out with Putin, whereupon Putin performed some of his old black magic KGB tricks. Have Putin hack Roger Wickers emails and Hillarys about Lesin. There you go.. Check for Scalias murderer while you are at it. 
1	The national pastime of eating delicious, reasonably priced snack-food items between meals was made more fun Monday, when the J.M. Smucker Company introduced Smucker's Super-Snackers. The new product, which differs from ordinary Smucker's Snackers due to the inclusion of new 'Magic' Color-Change Sprinkles, is expected to propel already-soaring national snacktime-fun levels to unprecedented heights by mid-spring. Snackel's 'I can't believe how much fun I'm having!' said Boston resident and longtime snack enthusiast Lance Petersen, lovingly sprinkling the exciting granules over his plastic tray-container of jelly and, using the enclosed plastic rectangular spreading tool, smoothing the resultant multicolored substance across a cracker. 'Look at the colors! Thanks to these amazing new sprinkles, the jelly is changing right before my very eyesalmost as if by some sort of magic!' 'Wow!' agreed Salem, OR, snacker Kathleen Naistadt, taking a bite out of a combination cracker/peanut-butter/color-altered-jelly food morsel she assembled all by herself. 'This is fun!' Snacktime, the traditional occasion set aside daily by Americans for recreational, non-hunger-motivated bite-sized food consumption, has always been fun and carefree. But, according to snack-industry insiders, the new Super-Snackers PB&J Deluxe Snak-Paks have taken that fun to a whole new level, providing eaters not only with traditional smell- and taste-based entertainment, but enjoyable visual stimuli, as well. In the process, snack experts say, Smucker's has created a 'total snack experience,' one that all but renders obsolete lesser snacktime diversions previously thought to be 'fun.' 'This new product has set the snacking world on its ear, calling into question our most basic notions of what snacktime is and should be,' said Dr. Hans Volstein, director of Harvard University's prestigious L. Warren Pringle Snacketerium. 'It is not going too far to suggest that snacktime will never be the same.' Snack-industry observers are predicting record sales figures for the snack, which has already made the J.M. Smucker Company the front-runner for the 1999 Snacky Awards. But for all the notoriety, Dr. Walter Tolson, the Smucker's scientist chiefly responsible for the development of the new product, remains humble: The addition of 'Magic' Color-Changing Sprinkles to the already-successful Snackers product line, he said, was 'all in a day's work.' the new Super-Snackers PB&J Deluxe Snak-Pak. 'When we were developing the Super-Snackers, people said to us, 'But you already have Smucker's Snackers, and people love them. Why mess with success?'' said Tolson, speaking from his office at SmuckerLabs. 'But that's just not the way we do things here at Smucker's. Even if we have a popular product, we keep pushing the envelope by adding that extra 'Super-' prefix to it. Its all part of our commitment to providing the American consumer with the most enjoyable snacktime experience science will allow.' 'Taste alone is not enough,' Tolson continued. 'In today's competitive snack marketplace, snackers demand more. They don't merely want to eat. They want to be entertained by what they eat, while they eat it.' Across the nation, snackers are responding to Tolson's bold snacktime vision. 'This fun, interactive, pre-processed food item represents a whole new way of snacking,' said Minneapolis resident Sandra Hirsch. 'If the sprinkles came already mixed in, that'd be boring. But by enclosing the 'Magic' Color-Changing Sprinkles in a separate, sealed plastic packet, Smucker's has given me the opportunity to actively participate in the snacktime processtearing open the sprinkles envelope, peeling back the jelly packet's cover seal, mixing in the sprinkles, and watching the two snack components fuse in a snacktacular explosion of color, a snack experience greater than the sum of its parts.' What's more, Hirsch's children, Ashley, 3, and Brandon, 5, are able to join in the fun. The new sprinkles are so easy to tear open, pour and mix, consumers of all ages can enjoy the new, more fun version of snacktime, even those who possess only the most rudimentary of motor skills. 'Just look at them,' Hirsch said, watching her children rip open their Snak-Paks with glee. 'For them, Smucker's has unlocked the door to a veritable snack-food Valhalla.' Smucker's Super-Snackers are available at retail food outlets nationwide. In addition to the 'Magic' Color-Change Sprinkles, each Super-Snackers contains four crackers, one ounce of peanut butter, a half ounce of strawberry spread, a mini-packet of Brach's Hi-C fruit snacks with real fruit juice, a Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats square, the aforementioned mini-spreading tool, and a convenient plastic tray for easy, on-the-go snacking, as well as a 'Help Mooch The Puppy Sniff Out The Brach's Hi-C Fruit Snacks And Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats Square' puzzle maze on the back of the package. Specially marked packages also contain a bonus prize of three temporary tattoos. Though Super-Snackers do contain perishable foodstuffs, manufacturers stress that, thanks to breakthroughs in food-preservative technology, no refrigeration is necessary. 
1	The credibility of 26-year-old Jeff Gaskill's record collection is badly damaged by the inclusion of several albums of dubious artistic merit, friend Rob Appel reported Monday. 'He's got tons of awesome stuff, everything from [X-Ray Spex's] Germ Free Adolescents to [Al Green's] Call Me,' Appel said of the 750-plus CD library. 'But then, smack-dab in between The Pogues' Rum, Sodomy & The Lash and Portishead's Dummy is Poison's Greatest Hits.' Continued Appel: 'Before I could ask him what the hell it was doing there, I spot Hell Freezes Over by The Eagles. That record alone negates the coolness of Brian Eno's Here Come The Warm Jets and The Flying Burrito Brothers' The Gilded Palace Of Sin.' 
3	Congressman reverses on law enforcement-backed law requiring storage of text messages and moreMadison Ruppert Sensenbrenner is a noted crusader for widespread government surveillance based on an absurd fear of terrorism and has been unrelenting in his fight against privacy. This has most recently been shown in his apparent backing of a data retention requirement to be added to the ECPA which was endorsed by various law enforcement organizations and the U.S. Department of Justice. The Department of Justice also sought to expand government surveillance powers in some ways to cover everything from text messages to e-mails, Twitter direct messages, Facebook messages and more while limiting it in some minor ways. However, aides later told CNET that their boss had misspoke and was talking about data preservation in response to law enforcement requests not about a new data retention proposal. An anonymous source close to the situation told CNET that the reversal came in response to pressure from lobbyists who support ECPA reform. I have long opposed data retention and do not believe that any ECPA reform package should include such a mandate, Sensenbrenner said in a subsequent statement. Data retention requires a provider to retain information about the Internet use of all of its customers. A data retention mandate raises privacy concerns because it affects all users, not just bad actors. Unsurprisingly, it wasnt so much due to the massive privacy problems inherent in such data retention but because if the data retention mandate is attached to the ECPA reform bill, it will amount to a poison pill that will doom the legislation, according to CNET. This type of reversal is hardly surprising coming from Sensenbrenner. In 2006 Sensenbrenner drafted data retention legislation and just two days later backed away from it. According to Nate Cardozo, an Electronic Frontier Foundation staff attorney, data retention shouldnt even be considered ECPA reform. ECPA reform is about bringing the statute into line with the Fourth Amendment, and theres no reason to trade retention requirements in exchange for ensuring existing constitutional rights, Cardozo said. The American Civil Liberties Union similarly opposes data retention along with the Center for Democracy and Technology. The ACLU has always opposed mandatory data retention, said Chris Calabrese, legislative counsel for the ACLU. We have no plans to revisit that policy. CDT wouldnt support a bill with a data retention mandate, said Mark Stanley, a spokesman for the Center for Democracy and Technology. Sensenbrenner said today that creating legislation that allows law enforcement to do their job, particularly against people who use the Internet for criminal purposes, is kind of going to be a tough nut to crack. We tried it in the last Congress and we werent able to get the ball over the goal line, Sensenbrenner added. It remains to be seen if that will happen and how much privacy will be lost in the process. Did I forget anything or miss any errors? Would you like to make me aware of a story or subject to cover?

2	Obama Hires Criminal Defense Attorney In Response To Criminal Charges Brought Against Him It is no secret that Obama is facing some pretty harsh criticism and even legal action when it comes to his numerous counts of illegal activity. In fact Ted Cruz has released a list of 76 lawless actions committed by the President, and there are more in counting. According to Darryl Issa, more criminal charges are in process for the Obama administration. And the President has started to prepare himself for what may come, hiring Neil Eggleston as White House Counsel. As one article put it: Eggleston is the kind of guy you go to when someone tells you, time to lawyer up. Hes a veteran at cleaning up ethics messes for politicians, most notably Bill Clinton, whom he aided during the Whitewater probes and the Monica Lewinsky affair, double entendre intended. But thats not nearly all. He represented Rahm Emanuel during the scandal surrounding former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, as well as Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) and George W. Bush political director Sara Taylor when scandals touched them, Clinton Cabinet members Federico Pena and Alexis Herman during corruption probes, and various business people involved in complex criminal investigations according to the New York Times. Which begs and pleads the question, is Obama looking for more protection for the White House from the various GOP congressional probes, or is he aware of the possibility that something much, much worse could break? 
3	Australia Considers Precrime Indefinite DetentionBy Kurt Nimmo Mark Collins (@Mark3Ds) October 9, 2016 The Washington Post reports: The change will upend a centuries-old legal principle that prisoners are automatically released when their sentences end. Even the United States, which has kept suspected terrorists in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, without trial for over a decade, doesnt allow prisoners on U.S. soil to be held after their sentences end. Last year the government of New South Wales trained police to shoot and kill suspected terrorists instead of negotiating with them. Following a hostage situation at Lindt Caf in Sydney the Herald Sun reported: If we have learned anything from the Lindt Caf siege, its that terrorists cannot be treated like other criminals. They cannot be placated, reasoned with, or exhausted into submission. Law enforcement authorities around the world have long recognised that those waging jihad are a different breed, requiring different strategies. It should be noted the man responsible for the hostage crisis, Man Haron Monis, was not a political terrorist. He was schizophrenic and described himself as an Iranian intelligence official, a political activist, a spiritual healer and expert in black magic, an outlaw biker, and a Muslim cleric. The police killed Monis and two hostages during the siege. 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. The Herald Sun is exactly correct. You cannot reason with a Jihadist. When they no longer fear death, what do you have against them that can be used to justify your actions. NOTHING ! When a man fears nothing, you can only kill him if you want to shut him up. As an old man told me once; If you want to kill an idea or ideal, you must kill everyone who harbors those concepts right down to but excluding those too young to remember Christians have a hard time wrapping their heads around that concept, but ancient Armies of old knew quite well what was required if you wanted to take down another civilization. You dont argue with a man, (Jihadist) on a mission, as his mind is already made up. This is a political war with Islam, as religion has nothing to do with it, and the ignorant fools who believe it is a religious Jihad need to be taken out, no questions asked. The problem is these laws general get used against everyday citizens not Jihadist This is a political war with Islam, as religion has nothing to do with it, Islam is a political death cult masquerading as a religion. Sharia is a form of law, not faith. Thank you, you have shown that some people really, really, can be that stupid. You already answered you own question, ignoramus. Islam my friend is a POLITICAL IDEOLOGY which uneducated men use to subjugate those too stupid to fully grasp that Mohammad dictated that everyone must believe as he did or face death as a infidel. Now, would you classify that as a Religion of Peace? Two blatant lies in one sentence (actually 3 as I am not your friend.) When I use the term Friend in this instance, I use it as sarcasm, because I would never befriend anyone as ignorant as you. You my friend would make a fine Muslime even though you profess not to be one. Quite frankly enough Christians have read the Koran to fully grasp what it does dictate. Most of which is denied because it also says it is perfectly OK to lie to an Infidel to further the precepts of Islam. See, young man you are ignorant, but because you wont bother to take that next step and educate yourself, you are stupid as well. SICK! Get out Australian people, while you can! Next they will be reading your thoughts and away you go to fema prison. 
3	Abandoned California Prison Sold to Medical Marijuana CompanyBy Joshua Krause The prison which once held over 500 inmates, was sold to the company for $4.1 million, which totally wiped clean the citys $4 million debt. The prison will soon be renovated and used by Ocean Grow Extracts to cultivate marijuana, and turn it into their cannabis oil products. The facility is expected to create 100 jobs for the community, and possibly more if the business takes off. For a town whose economy used to revolve around incarceration and crude oil, two industries that have been dwindling in recent years, the sale of this former prison is a godsend. Its believed that the 77,000 square foot facility could eventually end up generating $2 million in tax revenue for the city. As Mayor Patrick Keough put it, one company could take us out of the red in three years. The irony of this situation, which is not lost on marijuana advocates, is that this prison probably incarcerated countless harmless pot offenders over the years. But as the drug war comes to a close, the facilities of the prison-industrial complex are now being used to grow marijuana. 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. Whats really ironic is that, in a world that seems to have gone mad on so many different levels, the Free The Weed movement is full steam ahead. Why would that be? My theory is that Big Pharma is behind it all. They first had to reverse the behemoth ship of peoples media manufactured perception of cannabis, plus include a hefty monetary benefit to financially-strapped states and communities while doing so, or they would not be able to push their patented GMO weed and laboratory CBD derivatives. In the near future, once the perception ship has altered course enough, they will inform us their unnatural versions of cannabis are far, far superior than just a plain, old weed that anyone grow on a windowsill. Even if they are not the initiators of this, they definitely will take it over.. with the help of the corrupt State. Hard to tell for sure, but if you follow the timeline from when they received their patents and when the medical marijuana movement took off well, I dont believe in coincidences any more anyway and certainly not this one. After decades of the Marijuana is an addictive gateway drug that ruins lives meme to the Cannabis/hemp is good for you meme this is just way too slick to be an accident. Ive always known it was good for you and I hope people will discover for themselves how wonderful this little weed from heaven really is, before Glaxo, Smith, Merck, Bayer, et al. destroy it. The Bayer/Monsanto merger is just icing on the cake. 
3	10 Uplifting Stories from 2015 that Show the War on Drugs is in RetreatBy Justin Gardner The misery can be summed up in mass incarceration, creating a violent black market, and denying people effective treatments for medical conditions. The War on Drugs has been the primary factor driving a staggering increase in the US prison population, which quadrupled since 1980 to a point in 2008 where more than 1 in 100 adults were incarcerated. During that time, mandatory minimum sentences were put in place to deal out harsh penalties for victimless crimes. While users and street dealers were thrown in cages, the black market for drugs grew into a monster with the help of corrupt government agencies such as Border Patrol. Just as Western medicine began realizing the usefulness of cannabis and psychedelics for treating a wide range of physical and mental problems, prohibition shut down scientific advancement. Denying these treatments to citizens, and denying their right to ingest any substance they want, denies basic human rights. It could be construed as a crime against humanity. While government carried out its war on people, their financiers in the pharmaceutical industry got a nation addicted to prescription pills, which are now causing an epidemic of death and addiction. Criminalizing cannabis and other plant-based substances has led to the emergence of truly dangerous drugs such as spice (synthetic cannabis) and flakka. However, there is hope. Here are 10 big stories in 2015 that show we may have reached the tipping point in ending the War on Drugs. About 6,000 inmates were released from federal prison in early November. This is only the start, as upwards of 46,000 non-violent drug offenders are set to be released after the US Sentencing Commission reformed its stance on drug sentencing. Also, the Justice Department instructed its prosecutors not to charge low-level, nonviolent drug offenders who have no connection to gangs or large-scale drug organizations with offenses that carry severe mandatory sentences. The results of a Gallup poll released in October show that a solid majority of Americans say cannabis use should be legal in the US. This is the highest percentage in 46 years, and is consistent with other state and national polls. Despite this, more than 700,000 people were arrested for cannabis in 2014, mostly for simple possession. Newly elected Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, repeated the promise that his government will legalize and regulate cannabis. In his remarks, Trudeau said this will fix a failed system and remove the criminal element. They will be looking to Colorado and Washington, which just legalized recreational use, in developing the Canadian model. In early November, the Mexican Supreme Court ruled in favor of plaintiffs, saying that cannabis prohibition violated the right to the free development of personality. This follows on the heels of Mexicos first-ever legal medical cannabis patient, allowing its treatment for an 8-year-old girl suffering constant seizures. These two states became the first in the US to end civil asset forfeiture, where cops can steal cash and assets on the mere suspicion of wrongdoing, with no conviction of a crime. This policing for profit is one of the most insidious practices of law enforcement and is enabled mostly by the war on drugs. Law Enforcement Leaders to Reduce Crime and Incarceration, a group of more than 130 police chiefs, prosecutors, and sheriffs, in October said too many people are in jail and alternatives to arrest need to be explored. They lambasted zero tolerance policies for possession of small amounts of drugs and called for an end to mandatory minimum sentencing. New York is emerging as the nexus in a movement for supervised injection facilitiesso that IV drug users can have a safe, clean environment. This would reduce the growing number of overdose deaths while providing drug treatment options. There is overwhelming scientific evidence that these facilities can solve a host of public health and public disorder problems. On Veterans Day, senators took the surprising action of voting to give Veterans Affairs doctors the ability to prescribe medical cannabis in states where it is legal. Science shows that medical cannabis offers promising treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other problems that soldiers face when returning from active duty. When Pope Francis visited the US in September, he criticized many policies of the US, including its War on Drugs. He described how prohibition creates a corruption which has penetrated to the different levels of social, political, military, artistic and religious life. The pope even visited a prisoner whose only crime was being caught with cannabis. In November, addressing reporters on the issue of medical cannabis, DEA Chief Chuck Rosenbergbaselessly stated, What really bothers me is the notion that marijuana is also medicinal, because its not. We can have an intellectually honest debate about whether we should legalize something that is bad and dangerous, but dont call it medicine. That is a joke. Why should this ludicrous statement, contradicted by a vast body of scientific research, be considered hopeful news? It shows the desperation of the last remaining holdouts from a primitive era, and brings attention to the absurdity of those who lead the drug war. The calls for Rosenbergs resignation were swift and furious. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com This article sounds like a George Soros plug. Which black market did the victimless criminals support when they were buying, transporting or selling? What does it matter what folks wish to partake alcohol has destroyed countless lives. you rad men, Jesus loves you! 
3	Nestl CEO Denies That Water is an Essential Human RightBy Kevin Samson This is apparently the company we should trust to manage our water, despite the record of large bottling companies like Nestl having a track record of creating shortages: Large multinational beverage companies are usually given water-well privileges (and even tax breaks) over citizens because they create jobs, which is apparently more important to the local governments than water rights to other taxpaying citizens. These companies such as Coca Cola and Nestl (which bottles suburban Michigan well-water and calls it Poland Spring) suck up millions of gallons of water, leaving the public to suffer with any shortages. (source) But Chairman, Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, believes that access to water is not a public right. Nor is it a human right. So if privatization is the answer, is this the company in which the public should place its trust? Here is just one example, among many, of his companys concern for the public thus far: In the small Pakistani community of Bhati Dilwan, a former village councilor says children are being sickened by filthy water. Whos to blame? He says its bottled water-maker Nestl, which dug a deep well that is depriving locals of potable water. The water is not only very dirty, but the water level sank from 100 to 300 to 400 feet, Dilwan says. (source) Why? Because if the community had fresh water piped in, it would deprive Nestl of its lucrative market in water bottled under the Pure Life brand. In the subtitled video below, from several years back, Brabeck discusses his views on water, as well as some interesting comments concerning his view of Nature that it is pitiless and, of course, the obligatory statement that organic food is bad and GM is great. In fact, according to Brabeck, you are essentially an extremist to hold views opposite to his own. His statements are important to review as we continue to see the world around us become reshaped into a more mechanized environmentin order to stave off that pitiless Nature to which he refers. The conclusion to this segment is perhaps the most revealing about Brabecks worldview, as he highlights a clip of one of his factory operations. Evidently, the savior-like role of theNestl Group in ensuring the health of the global population should be graciously welcomed. Are you convinced?

2	Hillary Clinton Declines To Admit That The Right To Bear Arms Is Constitutional On Live TV [VIDEO] As if the fact Hillary Clinton is a criminal being investigated by the FBI werent enough, a recent interview reveals just how little she cares about protecting the constitutional rights of Americans. When one ABC host asked Hillary Clinton a question about the Second Amendment, her response was absolutely ludicrous. I think that for most of our history, there was a nuanced reading of the Second Amendment until the decision by the late Justice Scalia, and there was no argument until then that localities and states and the federal government had a right, as we do with every amendment, to impose reasonable regulations, she commented. So I believe we can have common-sense gun safety measures consistent with the Second Amendment, Hillary concluded. This is what a term under Hillary would look like, people. She is a criminal who is trying to strip us of our guns. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
3	Apple awarded patent for location-based remote disabling of mobile devicesMadison Ruppert, Contributor Allowing for the cameras on cell phones to be remotely disabled could, in my opinion, be quite dangerous since it very well might mean that crimes could go unpunished due to the lack of video evidence which might otherwise be collected. With reports of police attempting to buy videos from witnesses who captured a quite disturbing incident involving officers, reports of police forcibly seizing the cell phone of a witness and even reports of police allegedly confiscating the cell phone of a witness and destroying evidence of police brutality, one can imagine who would benefit from such a feature. The patent, number 8,254,902, is entitled, Apparatus and methods for enforcement of policies upon a wireless device and it outlines a broad range of ways this technology could be applied for so-called policy enforcement. Some of the example usages outlined in the abstract are, to disable noise and/or light emanating from wireless devices (such as at a movie theater), for preventing wireless devices from communicating with other wireless devices (such as in academic settings), and for forcing certain electronic devices to enter sleep mode when entering a sensitive area. It would be quite worrisome indeed if both phones and cameras alike could be disabled during, perhaps, a brutal crackdown on a protest or any other action which someone might not want captured like in the aforementioned cases. Keep in mind, the patent clearly states it is for changing one or more functional or operational aspects of a wireless device, such as upon the occurrence of a certain event. In other words, it is not limited to just disabling cameras. The same apparatus and methods could be used to block people from being able to call or send text messages as well. In one embodiment, the event [which triggers the technology] comprises detecting that the wireless device is within range of one or more other devices, states the patent assigned to Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California. In another variant, the event comprises the wireless device associating with a certain access point, the patent states. According to Apple Insider, The new invention can create customized alert profiles for a number of situations by using a variety of methods, including GPS, cellular triangulation and WLAN communication. Calling on a set of predefined rules called policy enforcement, a devices actions, or lack thereof, can be dynamically changed to create a situationally aware phone. Apple Insider reports that Apple is mostly leveraging radio technologies in this effort with one embodiment of the technology using Wi-Fi. The users device would communicate with a Wi-Fi base station which then selects the particular alert parameters according to the situation. For instance, in a classroom it would likely prevent sending text messages, internet browsing, etc. or perhaps just put the device into silent mode. The more troubling version of the technology, however, is the use of GPS which would trigger a certain profile on the device based on the location of the device. This could allow phones to be disabled when they enter the area in which a protest is occurring or any other target area for that matter. At least Apple Insider leaves us with the comforting conclusion, It is unclear when or if Apple will use the patent. Lets hope they dont because the last thing we need is fewer cameras around to capture injustices of any and every variety.

1	Struggling to maintain their composure as they gathered on the main quad, dozens of administrators from Coleman College held a candlelight vigil Monday to honor Robert Carlson, a highly respected donor who was lost in a mishandled campus rape case earlier this month. Robert had such a tremendous impact on this community; its so awful to have lost him in such a senseless way, said university president Allen Brown, who, after lamenting the schools inadequate investigation and ensuing cover-up of a students sexual assault that led to Carlsons passing from the annual donor rolls, proceeded to lead the crowd in a brief moment of silence. This heartbreaking tragedy has had a devastating effect on every one of ussomething like this should never, ever happen here. I can honestly say that this school will not be the same without him. At press time, a teary-eyed Brown could be seen holding hands with other campus officials, emphasizing that everyone must truly cherish the time they have with their donors before its too late. 
2	Trump Saves Israel After Obama Stabs Them In The Back The Obama administration has virtually ambushed Israel, using the United Nations as a tool. Egypt sponsored a resolution before the United Nations Security Council, condemning Israel over settlements in areas claimed by the Palestinians. This is not surprising, given that the Muslim world hates Israel. They are not looking for terms, they want the end of Israel. Every time a Muslim nation sponsors an assault on Israel, we block it in the UN with a veto. That is part of our job as a permanent member of the security council. In fact, until Obama refused to veto the resolution Egypt sponsored, we have never left Israel to stand alone against their enemies. Netanyahu reportedly called Trump for help from this ambush. Trump called the Egyptian president and ultimately, Egypt pulled their resolution. Another Muslim country upheld it. Its clear Trump made a dealpromising to fix the problem in timeand Egypt complied. This was necessary, given that all Obama had to do was veto the resolution. Of course, he chose to let the resolution pass instead. Trump quickly responded to Obamas actions, tweeting, As to the U.N., things will be different after Jan. 20th. What do you think? Will Trump be a better leader than Trump will ever be?

3	Canada-EU Trade Agreement Replicates ACTAs Notorious Copyright ProvisionsCarolina Rossini A comparison of the leaked draft Canada-EU agreement shows the treaty includes a number of the same controversial provisions, specifically concerning criminal enforcement, private enforcement by Internet Service Providers (ISPs), and harsh damages. These provisions are particularly problematic, and were the key reasons why the European Parliament rejected ACTA. However, given the lack of transparency associated with the CETA discussions (both Canada and EU insist that the draft text remain secret), the concerns that CETA may replicate ACTA appear to be very real despite denials from some members of the European Commission. CETA is a trade agreement designed to strengthen economic ties between Canada and the EU through free trade and increased investment. However, hidden within this treaty are provisions that were essentially lifted from ACTA word-for-word. And just like its close cousins, ACTA, KORUS, and TPPand other trade agreements that are applauded by the entertainment industry for carrying expansive intellectual property provisionsCETA is being negotiated in secret. The only hard evidence on which we can base our analysis suggests the worst: once again, the European Commission and the EU Member States governments are trying to impose repressive measures against cultural practices online. () This trend of sneaking repressive measures through negotiated trade agreements must stop. This cut-and-paste strategy was confirmed yesterday by La Quadrature du Net, which had representatives present in a workshop on October 10th, where Philipp Dupuis, the European Commission negotiator, bragged that ACTA-like criminal sanctions were still in the CETA draft. Following the workshop, La Quadrature du Net sent letters to Mr Pierre Moscovici, Minister for Economic Affairs and Finance, requesting clarifications and demanding that the criminal measures be removed from CETA. The 92% of the European Union Parliament who voted against ACTA in July 2012 demonstrated that the EU was overwhelmingly against provisions like this, and many expected that it would be the end of the matter. Sadly, that assumption appears to have been unfounded. Despite this there are encouraging signs of resistanceincluding that the Dutch government has stated that it would not accept CETA moving forward this way. Civil society, which has mobilized and filled streets of France, Poland, and others, is calling on citizens to demand that their governments remove copyright provisions from CETA during the upcoming round of negotiations next week in Brussels. The Consolidation of Policy Laundering and Increasing Secrecy in International Negotiations The copyright lobbies have consolidated on the use of foreign and international forums as an indirect means of pushing policiesa strategy known as policy launderinglike those ones in CETA that might never win direct approval through the regular domestic political. The move from fora like the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) or the World Trade Organization (WTO) to bilateral and regional trade agreements confirms it. Policy laundering takes advantage of the fact that the institutions nations have created for ensuring democratic control and input into the bureaucratic policymaking process have not yet been instituted into most international bodies and negotiation venues. And of course, the entertainment lobby applauds this. It is well known for instance, that provisions of the US DMCA were the result of policy laundering. This should not be the way we build 21st century agreements. International negotiations are abstract and its hard to see how they may eventually affect ones life. When a trade agreement or treaty is signed by a country and later ratified however, it does manifest itself into national law. Therefore, the time to act is from the very beginning of such initiatives, not later. Secrecy around negotiations is not democratic, violates the open government principles many of the negotiating countries have signed onto, and purposefully makes taking action much more difficult.

3	The Rigged Poker Hand That Obama LostEric Blair Obamas sitting on Big Slick, holding a King of course and his secret Ace, while Assad is dealt a lousy 2-7 off suit, widely considered the worst starting hand in hold em. With the hole cards dealt both players hold them close to the vest. Obama makes the first bet All in! he says, seemingly throwing caution to the wind but really knowing all along that the game is rigged. The commentators clamor in excitement for the possibility of the ultimate televised showdown for the entire purse. Assad, not expecting such an aggressive posture before all the cards are dealt, shuffles in his seat as his brow glimmers with sweat. All in was no laughing matter. Assads stack had been steadily dwindled down by opponents sponsored by Obama to where he barely managed to make it this far in the tournament. A quick glance at Obamas stack reveals at least 1000 Tomahawk cruise missiles with the estimated damage value of 10 years Syrias GDP (sorry, not calculated in liters of blood). With apparently nothing to lose, Assad quickly calls. The first community card is a King and the world was sure Obama would take the purse, but some began to suspect the dealer was corrupt and demanded a fresh hand. Facing heavy odds, Assad was relieved when the new dealer Cameron promptly delivered a 2 and a 7 to complete the flop, giving Assad two pair. This so enraged Obama that Cameron was removed as dealer. The crowd began to rally for the underdog Assad. A come from behind victory now seemed possible, but the new dealer was another Obama appointee. Kerry, who was not a polished card handler, knew the Aces were on the bottom of the deck and all he had to do was slip one out as quickly as possible. Yet he fumbled it so miserably that much of the audience saw him as a cheat. Now, with the audience so heavily invested in the match, they demanded an independent gaming commissioner to come in and deal out the final card. Theme music starts as the Russian Bear enters the room wearing mirrored sunglasses indoors, shirtless except for a dealers vest. Some people chanted Youre the man. Youre the man. Although eccentric, he was very clearly that: a man among spoiled boys. Putin smirked just before he played the final card and told Obama that his luck had run out. He had overplayed his hand. That his Ace-in-the-hole was actually a Joker. And that no matter what card was played next, he was destined to lose. But before Assad could relax at the good news, Putin warned him that the next card wouldnt help him either. The whole game was a misdeal, and Assad and Obama must return to the lower proxy tables before they can return to the prime time. Recently byEric Blair:

According to reports, the popular sandwich chain has made the decision to ban bacon and ham from more than 200 restaurants. The decision was meant to accommodate the fact that pigs are not permitted by the Koran. The majority of shops that are affected by the change are in the United Kingdom, where there has been a massive increase in the Muslim population. The growing popularity of the Subway chain with the diverse multicultural populationmeans we have to balance the values of many religious communities with the overall aim of improving the health and welfare standards of animals, a representative of the restaurant said in a statement. Subway has also made a point to introduce halal food in the place of meats that are being banned by Muslims. What do you think of Subways new policy?

3	Satirical Onion Article Accidentally Predicts Actual News HeadlineBy Carey Wedler Following agreement on Obamas much-anticipated deal to reduce Irans nuclear capabilities in exchange for lifted sanctions (that the president himself originally promoted and imposed), Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was publicly incensed. In predictable jest, The Onion published an article last Tuesdayas the deal was reachedtitled, U.S. Soothes Upset Netanyahu With Shipment Of Ballistic Missiles. It joked that to pacify the saber-rattling leader, Obama sent him a special shipment of weaponsmocking the United States sizable contributions to its favorite ally in the region. Bibi always gets a little cranky when he sees us talking to Iran, but a few dozen short-range surface-to-surface missiles usually cheer him right up, the Onion joked a State Department official said. Of course, we try not to spoil him by giving him a whole new tactical ballistics delivery system every single time he throws a fit, but our guys pretty good at getting his way. At least well have a couple months of peace and quiet around here. The very next day, Israeli newspaper Haaretz published a real story called After Vienna accord, Obama offers military upgrade to help Israel swallow bitter Iranian deal. Though Netanyahu ultimately rejected the offerlikely out of spite over his public disdain for the deal (compounded with the fact that the United States has already extensively enabled the nations arsenal)the Onion article was dangerously close to reality. This coincidence is a reflection of the dangerous relationship between the United States and Israel. Israeli interests dominate Congress with lobbyist funds and political pressure, leading politicians across the board to universally endorse Israel and defend its actions in spite of the countrys repeated human rights violations. The Onion article was not only predictive, but reminiscent of other occasions. Last summer, Obama criticized Netanyahus Operation Protective Edge for its brazen targeting of civilians. The United States continued to provide material support to Israel, however, ultimately rendering the presidents objections hollow. In spite of continued weapons supplies, Netanyahu shamed Obama for failing to support Israel enough. Fittingly, the Onion article concluded that the State Department spokesperson said the U.S. was saving its shipment of missile defense system components in case Netanyahu got worked up during Israel-Palestine peace negotiations later this year. Netanyahu has howled about the dangers of a nuclear Iran for years, repeatedly crying wolf with little evidence to substantiate his claims. His objection to the Iran deala vital move to avoid further conflict in the regionwas the Israeli prime ministers latest tantrum against diplomacy. The Onions prescient observation highlights a world so absurd, extreme, and hypocritical that satire and comedy are more truthful than the politicians and corporate media that attempt to mold reality. As Haaretz tweeted alongside its acknowledgment of the Onions accuracy, When The Onion is the most reliable news source about your country, you know youre a mess. Carey Wedler joined Anti-Media as an independent journalist in September of 2014. Her topics of interest include the police and warfare states, the Drug War, the relevance of history to current problems and solutions, and positive developments that drive humanity forward.

2	Famous Singer Does Despicable Thing On Stage To Trump... No Class [VIDEO] Ever since Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in the presidential election by a landslide, liberal Hollywood has been complaining about how unfair the result is. Apparently, the radically leftwing entertainment industry cannot accept that Hillary Clinton is not the right person to run our country. During a recent performance at the Standing Rock benefit in Los Angeles, singer Fiona Apple broke into a disturbing, anti-Trump Christmas carol she called Trumps Nuts Roasting on an Open Fire. Here are a few choice lyrics from the song, courtesy of Conservative 101: Trumps nuts roasting on an open fire/As he keeps nipping at his foes. Youll cry creepy uncle every time he arrives/For he keeps clawing at your clothes. Apple concluded her performance by shouting, Donald Trump, f*ck you! Not surprisingly, the classless act of disrespect for our future president did not go over well with patriots. Twitter quickly exploded with people criticizing the once-star for her disgusting performance. Kristi Lade (@kristilade) December 23, 2016 
1	Several leading football analysts confirmed Wednesday that most NFL teams are just one or two ridiculously overpriced free agent signings away from a Super Bowl victory. Giving out a bloated contract to an aging pass rusher or promising a ton of guaranteed money to a declining wide receiver with a history of injuries is all it takes to push a franchise over the top, said ESPN NFL analyst Bill Polian, adding that even the worst team in the league would become an instant contender for the Lombardi Trophy by wasting most of their salary cap on a couple of unproven or overhyped defenders. As weve seen time and time again, an NFL general manager can be assured of a Super Bowl championship solely by recklessly blowing a colossal amount of cash on a high-profile washed-up veteran or two. Especially if those way-past-their-prime players are expected to switch from their natural positions. Polian also said that any team that spends $100 million in the offseason on players over 30 is guaranteed to have an NFL dynasty for at least three years. 
3	British Think-Tank Warns Smart Meters Susceptible to Terrorist AttacksSusanne Posel, Contributor FIPR is urging that this information may be used as blackmail or fuel for a hostile attack against the UK government by a foreign power or terrorist group. This information would be most likely sold to identity thieves as well as able to be manipulated by energy corporations. Smart meters have the capacity to spy on you in your home. They collect data on the electrical usage in your home, then that information is remotely sent to a central database at your utilities corporation. Caroline Speilman, UK Environment Secretary, has been using smart meters to force families to conserve water through monitored usage and price gouging. Having taken our water resources for granted for so long, we must start looking at ways in which we can protect the quality and availability in the face of challenges such as climate change and population growth. Price increases may well be an inevitable part of helping to secure our water supplies. Ross Anderson, Cambridge University computer science professor and chairman of FIPR, warns that: Once you have the ability to turn off meters remotely, then it becomes a strategic vulnerability. If the Iranians or Chinese want to attack Britain, they could do so easily through smart meters. This is the modern day equivalent of a nuclear strike. British Gas has installed over 400,000 smart meters in homes across the UK and has plans to install more by 2019. The plan, authored by former Energy Secretary Ed Miliband and supported by former Liberal Chris Huhne contend that smart meters assist customers in reducing energy expenditures and meet environmental targets of the UK government. Nick Pickles, director of Big Brother Watch, says: We are witnessing a massive intrusion into what goes on in millions of homes. This comes when there is increasing surveillance of our society. Smart meters are a step towards our homes becoming the next line of attack for state snoopers. Anna Fielder, member of Privacy International and former senior policy advisor to the National Consumer Council in the UK, states: This could mean risks of identity theft, real time surveillance, unwanted publicity, profiling or targeting for commercial purposes and also potential discriminatory practices by power companies targeting tariffs to maximize profits. As these are essentially communication devices, transmitting data over a network, there are the associated security risks if the right measures are not taken.

3	No, Thanks! to Michelle Obamas Nutritious School BreakfastsBy Catherine J. Frompovich Nutritionally speaking, it looks like something you would pick up after taking your dog for a walk. Not only that, there is very little nutritional content, either in quantity or quality, for a high school kid to start his/her day. Now, Id like to offer my analysis of the breakfast, so here goes: Heres my idea of a nutritious breakfast for high school kids, which can be modified to include variety: A. Serving of fresh fruit, fruit cup, or applesauce cup B. Whole grain Granola bar C. Protein offering of: Hard cooked egg, dairy or non-dairy yogurt cup D. Side of raisins, sunflower seeds E. Serving of milk or non-dairy milk substitute Students should be encouraged to take raisins and sunflower seeds with them to eat as snacks later in the day. Additionally, the school food staff could make in-house, an inexpensive Trail Mix that could be added to the breakfast and luncheon menus. It truly is a shame that the USA cant provide nutrient-rich food for children in schools.

Thank YOU, ColinJames71, for your kind comments about my work and recommending me and my work to others. I am truly honored! However, I do believe the media is not ready for my work due to all the brainwashing, plus doubts created in the publics collective mind frame; thats extremely hard to get thru to and past for individuals so programmed.

Because of the atomic, and sub-atomic size of the particles it enters ours, and our childrens building immune systems through the blood into tissue and brain and is known, in lab rats, to cause illness to kidney, spleen, colon, and lungs as well as being a known carcinogen (cancer causing) Nano technology is a trillion dollar, completely under the radar, business that has subversively been engineered into all facets of our consuming lives, and is most especially dangerous to our food systems. Thanks for reminding us; this is an important issue! Michael, erMichelle trans-gendered Commie Marxist. He / She is trying to get kids used to starvation and rationing like a good socialist would. The presidents husband you mean. Well, parents, if your kids dont have time to eat at school because of waiting in line and the kids dont like the unhealthy foods that are being served, then, parents, make their lunch so they can take it to school with them and eat what they like. Then feed them a healthy hot meal at dinnertime, oh, and before they go to school feed them a hot healthy breakfast. In elementary and public h.s., it is the Fed govt who controls the money. they give the schools money based on financial needs. When those with the most financial needs eat school food, the Feds reimburse the schools. when those more well off bring their own foods, the school receives less money from the Feds and must supplement food costs then out of the school budget from other places. Additionally, Fed/State food laws make highly restrictive regulations on what farm food can be used in the schools which makes it cost prohibitive to localize foods. Sysco systems supplies much of the school food and is subsidized by the Feds. Our apples in our school now are coming from the Dept of Defense at no cost to the school!! WTF?? Grow your own, make your own, stop eating sickly food provided by those who care nothing about your child.

1	The mainstream acceptance of gays and lesbians, a hard-won civil-rights victory gained through decades of struggle against prejudice and discrimination, was set back at least 50 years Saturday in the wake of the annual Los Angeles Gay Pride Parade. Participants in Saturday's Los Angeles Gay Pride Parade, which helped change straight people's tolerant attitudes toward gays. 'I'd always thought gays were regular people, just like you and me, and that the stereotype of homosexuals as hedonistic, sex-crazed deviants was just a destructive myth,' said mother of four Hannah Jarrett, 41, mortified at the sight of 17 tanned and oiled boys cavorting in jock straps to a throbbing techno beat on a float shaped like an enormous phallus. 'Boy, oh, boy, was I wrong.' The parade, organized by the Los Angeles Gay And Lesbian And Bisexual And Transvestite And Transgender Alliance (LAGALABATATA), was intended to 'promote acceptance, tolerance, and equality for the city's gay community.' Just the opposite, however, was accomplished, as the event confirmed the worst fears of thousands of non-gay spectators, cementing in their minds a debauched and distorted image of gay life straight out of the most virulent right-wing hate literature. Among the parade sights and sounds that did inestimable harm to the gay-rights cause: a group of obese women in leather biker outfits passing out clitoris-shaped lollipops to horrified onlookers; a man in military uniform leading a submissive masochist, clad in diapers and a baby bonnet, around on a dog leash; several Hispanic dancers in rainbow wigs and miniskirts performing 'humping' motions on a mannequin dressed as the Pope; and a dozen gyrating drag queens in see-through dresses holding penis-shaped beer bottles that appeared to spurt ejaculation-like foam when shaken and poured onto passersby. Timothy Orosco, 51, a local Walgreens manager whose store is on the parade route, changed his attitude toward gays as a result of the event. 'They kept chanting things like, 'We're here, we're queer, get used to it!' and 'Hey, hey, we're gay, we're not going to go away!'' Orosco said. 'All I can say is, I was used to it, but now, although I'd never felt this way before, I wish they would go away.' Members of the Laguna Beach Leatherdaddy Association make their final pre-march preparations. Allison Weber, 43, an El Segundo marketing consultant, also had her perceptions and assumptions about gays challenged by the parade. 'My understanding was that gay people are just like everybody elsedecent, hard-working people who care about their communities and have loving, committed relationships,' Weber said. 'But, after this terrifying spectacle, I don't want them teaching my kids or living in my neighborhood.' The parade's influence extended beyond L.A.'s borders, altering the attitudes of straight people across America. Footage of the event was featured on telecasts of The 700 Club as 'proof of the sin-steeped world of homosexuality.' A photo spread in Monday's USA Today chronicled many of the event's vulgar displaysunderstood by gays to be tongue-in-cheek 'high camp'which horrified previously tolerant people from coast to coast. Dr. Henry Thorne, a New York University history professor who has written several books about the gay-rights movement, explained the misunderstanding. 'After centuries of oppression as an 'invisible' segment of society, gays, emboldened by the 1969 Stonewall uprising, took to the streets in the early '70s with an 'in-your-face' attitude. Confronting the worst prejudices of a world that didn't accept them, they fought back against these prejudices with exaggeration and parody, reclaiming their enemies' worst stereotypes about them and turning them into symbols of gay pride,' Thorne said. 'Thirty years later, gays have won far greater acceptance in the world at large, but they keep doing this stuff anyway.' 'Mostly, I think, because it's really fun,' Thorne added. The Los Angeles Gay Pride Parade, Thorne noted, is part of a decades-old gay-rights tradition. But, for mainstream heterosexuals unfamiliar with irony and the reclamation of stereotypes for the purpose of exploding them, the parade resembled an invasion of grotesque outer-space mutants, bent on the destruction of the human race. 'I have a cousin who's a gay, and he seemed like a decent enough guy to me,' said Iowa City, IA, resident Russ Linder, in Los Angeles for a weekend sales seminar. 'Now, thanks to this parade, I realize what a freak he's been all along. Gays are all sick, immoral perverts.' Parade organizers vowed to make changes in the wake of the negative reaction among heterosexuals. 'I knew it. I said we needed 100 dancers on the 'Show Us Your Ass' float, but everybody insisted that 50 would be enough,' said Lady Labia, spokesperson for LAGALABATATA. 'Next year, we're really going to give those breeders something to look at.' 
3	Article Claims Elite Plan to Escape to Mars, Leave 99% of Us on Dying, Warring PlanetBy Melissa Dykes Newsweek put out an article this week claiming that the new commercial space projects by billionaires likeElon Musk and Jeff Bezos are actually about an escape hatch for the wealthy elite one percent who plan to escape to Mars and leave the rest of us to suffer on a dying, warring planet. The space travel companies say they are creating a way for the human species to endure by populating other planets. But the bottom line is that only the wealthy will have the means to move to Mars. Musks target ticket price is $500,000 a person in 2015 dollars, and thats just to get there. Imagine the new outfits youll have to buy to go with that space helmet. While it is true only the truly wealthy will be able to afford space flight with companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin, whats funny about it is peoples responses. Most react they are just happy to know the elite will be blasting off to another planet. In response to the story, Matt on the Crisis Forums wrote: Im not so sure the world sucks; it just so happens to be in the hands of a tiny group of people who are doing their best to make it suck for us. I think with a few minor changes the world could actually be a really awesome place for everyone. to which Tazweiss responded: If the 1% all go to Mars the rest of us might be able to create a better world here. Its a sad statement on society to note that peoples immediate reaction to the first commercial space flight available ever wasnt to be bummed they cant afford to go to Mars; it was to be excited about the fact that the wealthy elite might leave Earth en masse and go somewhere so far away, it takes roughly seven months to get there. The comment winner goes to Farmer Sean: Haha! We screwed up the Earth for the rest of you, so have fun cleaning up the mess! *They fly to Mars* Hey, which cargo hold has the menial workers? What do you mean? Well, where are the people who are going to build our luxurious space palaces, grow our food and give us manicures? I think. I think we have to do all of that by ourselves. Nah, theyll probably promise a few lucky poor people free passage to Mars via a work program that will turn into literal slavery once they get there. Good luck escaping Mars.

Now all they have to do is figure out how to get through the Van Allen Belt!! Go out through the North or South magnetic poles. Radiation is minimal there. In the end A haiku for you Conan!What is best in life? To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women! Let them goFinally, we would have freedom from their tyranny. Sorry but I dont agree. First of all, they will have to procreate. After they produce a new generation, human nature will take hold and one-upmanship will come into play. Some people will be considered as lesser individuals. They will be exploited. Thus, history will repeat itself. Were a virus on earth and humans will be a virus for any other planet we infect. Were not a virus man, just our toxic culture. We are not irredeemable, we can change our culture. Nearly 5 months ago? I hardly remember this. Wow just like the Golgafrincham. Just out of curiosity how are these rich people going to secure Mars? Mars has no police, or military, so lets say that someone associated with a rogue group here on old Terra decides to put together their own craft headed to Mars what would anyone use to stop them from landing, colonizing, or even waging war? Granted, a war fought across vast interplanetary distances is prohibitively expensive, but thats not so much the case when the fleet you bring to force is on a one-way-trip, or at least has plans on rolling over the place when it arrives. Anyone who has played the PC game StarLancer (the prequel to Freelancer, by the creator of Wing Commander), can likely imagine just the sort of scenario Im envisioning here. If you really want to know how they are colonizing Mars Google Corey Goode, one of a number of persons that have actually been there. good riddance gold collar criminal sociopath parasites and open the hatch in mid flight. This article is a a distraction to the fact that they perfected antigravity electrogravitics in the late 50s but the military quickly classified it and have kept it for their own use. Pigs on hover boards keeping a newly manufactured form of peace in the barnyard, may be just around the corner. Before you go dancing in the street at the prospect that the elite will go away and leave us in peace, You should realize that they will leave their minions in charge of us, to collect right up until the bitter end. And to keep things tidy in case their hiatus doesnt work out. I remind you that they have created a vast system of underground cities that we do not have access to. Ill be invited. See you suckers. Tell us more stuff that isnt true. Youre a pretty clever guy. Awesome, lets help them pack. We could only hope that there would be aliens on Mars ready to kill them as they land. If it meant that was the end of the human race, then so be it. You sound like you must be one of the people that wants to head out with them. Go Well catch up with them in a few centuries and roll over their planet like the Reavers out of the movie Serenity, making them our food, and lining the outsides of our ships hulls with their bones. Believe nothing you hear, and only half of what you see Edgar Allen Poe None are so blind as those who will not see Jonathan Swift Oh, I see Youve made a career of writing on such matters. I suppose that sort of speaks for itself. I have no interest in arguing with someone whos made a living off of publishing conspiracy-theory related books. It seems to me that youve made a profession of your opinion, and theres no point in arguing with that, whether its right or wrong. Its pretty obvious you havent watched the miniseries The Men who made America. OR. You are an apologist and facilitator for them. Make your Mars reservations early. Please. Excellent answer. Dont get me wrong. Its not about comfort zones with me. You could say that Im at a cosmic distance from being squeamish or afraid of any sort of information, regardless of how inflammatory it may be. Its not necessarily that I think that those writing on these subjects are all charlatans, but anyone with a rational mind would be no less skeptical of the claims than they would be of the claims of any religion and thats part of what bothers me about these sorts of works. Many of the people who read them, who dont fully understand where the author is coming from, tend to twist the authors words until what was once truth becomes a religious farce. In this day and age, no one in their right mind trusts the powers-that-be, so just about everyone is looking for someone or something to blame for all thats wrong in the world. Maybe the people are right, maybe theyre not. As far as what the truth really is, thats a matter of subjectivity and perception. What may be truth to one person, which they believe with the whole of their being, may be a heinous lie to another, who doubts and discredits what they see as something that couldnt possibly exist in the reality that they perceive. Ill check out your book when I get time to do so (I work in cyber-defense, so my daily schedule is a bit hectic). While I cant promise that Ill review it, I *will* give it consideration. But Ill say this too if these people do exist, as you and others claim, then I want a piece of the action, and I think several other denizens of the darknet will as well. What these cabals arent prepared to deal with hackers that have the ability to sabotage any facility they can build, any space-craft they try to launch. If these people do exist, as you claim, and proof of such can be brought to light with enough data to give the darknets collectives a target, the war will be on. I hope they leave soonThey Fed up this world because they couldnt get along, their greed,and elitist mindsets what they fail to realize it anit where you are from but where you are at (Upstairs and in your heart ) You wont last as long on Mars So you can probably Kiss Uranus Good-bye anyway. Haa,Haa,Haa..Hee.Hee.Hee..Hoo,Hoo,Hoo. now tell us what you really think. Nyuk Nyuk! Its not that the aliens chose them and I know where your gonna really say aliens yeah one stood 10 feet away from me but it stayed behind the gate for some reason, strange objects in the air but it is what is. The elite are just doing what their told surprisingly all it had to take was money, business, plains, cars and ohh yeah flags and everybody feel for it I hate the elite I believe in energy and one of the aliens was paying attention to life and changed it no one pays attention to dates anymore now were all doing bad things in every kind of way to each other it blows my mind away. Energy, god whatever it is its not showing its self and when it does it destroys things we built I just have to much faith more than all 222 or more Bibles (there are Im going to call out god in a non violent way and say its weak cause all it can do is 300,000 miracle a year no,no,no what is that I want to see 7,000,000,000,000 yeah that sounds like a god to me. Yall take care I wish every single body the best. And gees try to get along were all human beings that all they had to categorize are colors and then give name Chinese, Mexican, and I still dont believe there are Americans they come from the UK the UK, UN Us who by the way are not uniting nothing but let me just say everybody falls for everything.999 
3	Historic Gun Rights Bill Expected to be Signed Into Law in GeorgiaLily Dane The bill is being called historic and is generating a lot of support and of course, a lot of controversy, as The New York Times reports: The law allows gun permit holders to carry weapons into places that were previously off-limits, like bars, airports, and churches. Heres what the bill (called HB 60) will enact, according to NRA-ILA: According to The New York Times, the bill was opposed not only by gun-control groups, but also by the states police chiefs association and restaurant association, Episcopal and Catholic churches, and the federal Transportation Security Administration. A majority of Georgians also opposed it, according to several polls. Despite the reported controversy surrounding the bill, Governor Deal, a Republican who is up for re-election this November, is expected to sign the bill into law. It is interesting to note that Deals Democratic opponent, State Senator Jason Carter, (who is President Jimmy Carters grandson), also voted for the bill. Within the last year alone, 21 states have passed laws that expand the rights of gun owners. 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!

In an opinion issued this morning by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, Judge Michael Chagares wrote that the government should not have charged Auernheimer in New Jersey, which had no direct connection to ATT or Auernheimer. Were thrilled that the Third Circuit reversed Mr. Auernheimers conviction, EFF Staff Attorney Hanni Fakhoury said. This prosecution presented real threats to security research. Hopefully this decision will reassure that community. In 2010, Auernheimers co-defendant, Daniel Spitler, discovered that ATT had configured its servers to make the email addresses of iPad owners publicly available on the Internet. Spitler wrote a script and collected roughly 114,000 email addresses as a result of the security flaw. Auernheimer then distributed the list of email addresses to media organizations as proof of the vulnerability, ultimately forcing ATT to acknowledge and fix the security problem. On appeal, Auernheimers defense team argued that accessing a publicly available website does not constitute unauthorized access to a computer under the CFAA. They also argued that Auernheimer should not have been charged in New Jersey. At the time they were obtaining email addresses, Auernheimer was in Arkansas, Spitler was in California and ATTs servers were in Georgia and Texas. The court agreed with Auernheimer that charging the case in New Jersey was improper and reversed his conviction and ordered him released from prison. Although it did not directly address whether accessing information on a publicly available website violates the CFAA, the court suggested that there may have been no CFAA violation, since no code-based restrictions to access had been circumvented. Todays decision is important beyond weevs specific case, added Fakhoury. The court made clear that the location of a criminal defendant remains an important constitutional limitation, even in todays Internet age.

2	BREAKING: The Electoral College Has Spoken, And President Officially Is... Despite efforts to keep him far away from the White House, and a petition demanding that electors toss their votes, Trump obtained a majority of Electoral College votes yesterday. This officially secures the presidency. Not long ago, Harvard professor Lawrence Lessig claimed that more than 20 Republican electors were considering voting against Trump. These faithless electors largely failed to materialize, Daily Caller notes, with state after state delivering its electoral votes in accordance with the popular vote. The first faithless elector came mid-afternoon when a Maine elector cast his vote for Sen. Bernie Sanders instead of Hillary Clinton. Another elector in Minnesota attempted to cast his vote for Sanders, but state law prohibits this actionso he ended up being replaced by an alternate who supported Clinton. Maybe liberals willing finally accept what the rest of us have known to be the truthDonald Trump will be our nations next president. 
2	FBI Busts Couple For Stealing Taxpayer Money To Buy Million Dollar House And Yacht Andrea and Colin Chrisholm III, have been caught for fraud and abuse of the welfare system. They were arrested in Florida after being deported from the Bahamas. This couple collected over $167,000 in welfare, even though they had a $1.2 million yacht and million dollar house. Mr. sorry. Lord and Lady Chisholm the third, are fraudsters of the first degree, Freeman said. These folks ripped off the system. The Chisholms began claiming public assistance in Minnesota in 2005 after telling authorities they were living with Andreas mother in Minneapolis. Just weeks after the pair applied for assistance, they also bought an 83-foot yacht for $1.2 million in Florida, which they lived on for 28 months, according to the complaint. They were also claiming benefits in Florida at the same time as they were collecting money in Minnesota, the complaint said. The couple also allegedly failed to report the nearly $3 million they had deposited in various bank accounts to support their lavish lifestyle, and concealed that they had lived in luxury lakeside homes in Deepahaven since 2008 when they moved back to Minnesota, the complaint said. It is truly outrageous when persons of considerable means steal from the government and all of us taxpayers through abusing the social welfare system, Freeman said. We will prosecute this case with all the capacity we have. (Source: ABC) We couldnt agree more with Freeman. There are many people who NEED that money, including war veterans. The crime they committed is as horrible as any. Do you think they should be put in prison for life? 
2	A Real Countryman Can Find The Animal IN This Picture In Less than 5 Seconds, Can You? This backyard scene reminds me of my yard in the fall. Leaves are everywhere and I cant find a single thing if it were to be thrown in. I always hate having to rake up the leaves and then carry all of them to my wifes garden. It is a chore that I would rather not do, but do it for my marriage. The animal that is hidden in this picture is extremely hard to find, just like my tools. I had to spend about 10 seconds looking for the little guy. Then I finally found him. I will give you a hint that the animal is not a pig or wolf. He is a tiny creature that likes his own space and is a pet. Sometimes these pets can be a little mean but they re still cute and loving. They always jump on your furniture and purr when they want to eat or be pet. I personally think dogs make better pets but I am biased. I have owned dogs my entire life and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. Have you found the little guy yet? Hes really hidden in there. This could be one of the hardest ones yet. Did it take you longer than 6 seconds? No worries, most people take 10. The cat is located directly in the middle of the picture. He just is laying down looking at the camera. His stripes make him completely camouflage. He is a sneaky cat and is probably waiting to pounce on a rat or bird. Did you find it? 
2	Youll Be Furious With How These Illegal Alien Students Treat Their American Teachers Recently, a letter was written by a substitute teacher has been making headlines, full of claims that illegal immigrants do not care about American generosity. According to the teacher, they are still angry that we stole land from Mexico, and this is a silent protest to take it back. The letter was written by substitute teacher Tony Hill after an experience he had teaching classes in Phoenix, Arizona. According to Hill, now that the government is forcing local schools to teach illegal immigrants, they arent as desperate to leave. In Hills experience, classes ranged from 28 to 38 students, a huge portion of which were Hispanic. During his short time teaching there, the students were extraordinarily disrespectful, and even claimed that they could not recite the Pledge of Allegiance because they were not American. In fact, they went on to explain how America stole their land. Watch the video below and let us know what you think. 
1	CAPE CANAVERAL, FLNASA Administrator Michael Griffin has yet to respond to recent allegations that he used NASA space shuttles on as many as one dozen unauthorized outings to such destinations as New York City, the French Riviera, and his vacation home near Ketchum, ID. Griffin plays the Pebble Beach course minutes after blasting off from his Idaho vacation home. A report issued Monday by NASA's Oversight Commission indicates a cumulative 1.8 million miles unaccounted for on the Atlantic, Discovery, and Endeavor shuttles. In addition, shuttle pilot James Kelly reported numerous occasions on which he found the pilot seat 'adjusted for someone else.' The report also revealed that radio presets on the shuttles had been changed to receive various talk-radio stations from across the country, and that the cargo bays contained foreign items such as an old pair of sneakers, 'aviator'-style sunshades, two empty Big Gulp Los Angeles Dodgers collector cups, and CDs that shuttle astronauts say are not theirs. Griffin's apparent joyrides came to light last week, when sharp-eyed patrons at Georgia's Augusta National Golf Club spotted Discovery in the club's parking lot. Within hours, NASA employees began coming forward with their own observations. 'Every now and then on a Friday, Mr. Griffin would stop by Launch Complex 39B and say, 'Well, I'm off early today, taking the wife shopping on Fifth Avenue,' and I wouldn't think twice about it,' said assistant fuel-cell technician Lawrence Clemmons. 'But about half an hour later, the ground would shake, I'd hear this earsplitting roar from the pad, and then the shuttle would fly off.' 'Sometimes I'd think, 'Hey, it looked like he had his overnight bag with him,'' continued Clemmons. 'Then, on Monday, we'd get an e-mail from Mr. Griffin saying he was running behind, but he was just leaving Edwards Air Force Base and he'd be in soon.' Trajectory-optimization engineer Russ Holcum said he'd long suspected that Griffin 'had an in' with the staff in Engineering and Fabrication. Said Holcum: 'I figured he knew someone who cut him an extra set of keys or two.' Holcum added: 'More than once, I heard him ask the Mission Control guys if they'd mind 'counting him down' on his way out before a long weekend.' In a press conference held Tuesday, NASA spokesperson Arjun Congrove apologized to taxpayers for the billions of dollars expended on the unauthorized missions. 'The shuttle costs an estimated $2 billion per launch, not counting delays and repairs, and for Mr. Griffin to use it to take his wife on luxury shopping trips to Europe is not appropriate,' Congrove said. 'We apologize to affected personnel at NASA, and to the good people of New York City whose homes were vaporized by Mr. Griffin's several unauthorized launches near LaGuardia Airport.' Griffin may face penalties ranging from dismissal to having his salary garnished for the next 376 years in order to pay for fuel.

'Consumers who don't get enough disodium guanylate would do well to increase their Muncho intake,' the report read.

2	Obamas Personal Threats To This FOX News Anchor Just Blew Up In His Face It is clear that the Obama administration has increased efforts to keep Fox News out of press briefings, and to stop them from reporting the truth about Benghazi. Obama has publicly proclaimed that the station is unfair for focusing on his unconstitutional actions. Still, Fox News has continued strong in is opposition of Obama, and its desire to bring the truth to the American people. Now, it appears that administration has publicly spoken out against Fox News again, this time via social media. According to reports, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki and Marie Harf could not stay quiet after receiving some harsh criticism from Fox News Bill OReilly. Reportedly, OReilly was interviewing Fox reporter James Rosen about conflicting statements that were being made during a press conference held by Psaki. OReilly suggested that she was in over her head, and was perhaps unable to handle the pressure of the position she held. The comments received a reaction from Marie Harf, who claimed that OReilly was sexist for criticizing Psaki. She failed to acknowledge that OReilly has voiced the same level of concern over press secretaries Jay Carney and Josh Earnest. Harfs tweet resulted in immediate response from the world of social media, and they became the source of much humor for the day. It is interesting that the pair did not recognize that as a public figure, they will face some criticism without doubt. Hopefully the incident will teach the entire administration a lesson when it comes to attempts to censor the press. 
3	ISIS is Americas Dream Rebel ArmyTony Cartalucci The corporate-financier funded and directed policy think tank, the Brookings Institution, has served as one of several prominent forums documenting and disseminating US foreign policy. It would host in part the architects of the so-called surge during the nearly decade-spanning US occupation of Iraq, as well as battle plans for waging a covert war against Iran now well under way. Part of this covert war against Iran involved the arming and backing of listed terrorist groups, and in particular, the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK) which has killed US servicemen, American civilians, as well as countless innocent Iranians over the decades. Among those signing their name to this plan found within Brookings Which Path to Persia? report, was Kenneth Pollack. Now, in efforts to overthrow the government of Syria, also a stated and integral part of undermining, isolating, and destroying Iran, Pollack has revealed another element of the plan to create a full-scale proxy military force outside of Syria, then subsequently invading and occupying Syria with it. In the report titled, Building a Better Syrian Opposition Army: How and Why, Pollack cites the so-called Islamic State or ISIS as the ultimate impetus for expanded US intervention. However, upon looking at Pollacks proposal, it merely looks as if the US is using ISIS as a pretext to more overtly intervene in order to overthrow the government of Syria not in fact neutralize ISIS. After a considerable preamble assuring readers that the aim of creating a better Syrian opposition army would exclude sectarian extremists and result in the same success the US had in training the Iraqi army, the document explains: building a new Syrian army is best not done in Syria itself. At least not at first. The program would need the time and sanctuary to perform the necessary training, reorganization, sorting and socialization into a new Syrian army without the distractions and pressures of Syria itself. The Saudi offer to provide facilities to train 10,000 Syrian opposition fighters is one of reasonable possibility, although one of Syrias neighbors would probably be preferable. Jordan already serves as training ground for Americas current training program and it would be an ideal locale to build a real Syrian army. However, Turkey could also conceivably serve that purpose if the Turks were willing. Clearly, not only is this already being done as admitted by Pollack himself, it is being done on a scale already eclipsing Pollacks alleged plan the only difference is it is being done through the use of sectarian extremists not the imaginary, nonexistent secular professionals Pollack uses as a marketing gimmick to sell this scheme. More tellingly, Pollacks plan continues by stating (emphasis added): In addition to being armed, trained and officered like a conventional military, a new Syrian army would also have to be equipped like one. That would mean not just small arms and crew-served weapons, such as the United States and its allies are already providing, but heavy weapons and logistical support. Like the Croats and Bosniaks, a new Syrian army will need the wherewithal to defeat both the regime and the Islamist extremists. That will require tanks, armored personnel carriers, artillery, surface-to-air missiles and the like to match the regimes own heavy weaponsand so eliminate the firepower imbalance that the regimes forces have employed to such advantage so far. Surely, Pollacks plan will never materialize in any practical dimension however it may be possible to use such a marketing ploy to pour more resources into both the ongoing proxy war against Syria and Iran in general, and more specifically into the terrorist battalions already being armed, funded, trained, equipped, and sent off from Jordan and Turkey into Syrian territory. Handing advanced weapon systems into the hands of front groups consisting of intentionally ineffectual, immensely corrupt, incompetent US proxies is as good as handing the weapons directly to ISIS and of course this is precisely how the US is building its actual new opposition army namely, in the form of ISIS itself. ISIS Has Tanks, Missiles, and Aircraft Everything Americas Dream Opposition Army Needs Removing Pollacks rhetoric about secular professionals, and inserting ISIS reveals Pollacks paper as the actual already ongoing plan to overrun not only Syria, but pro-Iranian factions in Iraq, and perhaps even Iran itself. ISIS is a massive mercenary army trained and funded abroad by the US with its support laundered via Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, and Turkey, staged along Syrias borders in both Jordan and Turkey, and acquiring an impressive arsenal just as what is required in Pollacks plan to enter into and overthrow the government of Syria minus eradicating extremists of course. Even a cursory look at ISIS holdings across the region reveal ratlines leading into NATO-member Turkeys territory and all along the Turkish-Syrian border where news outlets like the New York Times and Washington Post have reported for years the CIA had been operating unloading billions in aid, gear, weapons, and even vehicles to militants fighting within Syria. Headlines over the past 3-4 years including, C.I.A. Said to Aid in Steering Arms to Syrian Opposition, First Syria rebels armed and trained by CIA on way to battlefield, Arms Airlift to Syria Rebels Expands, With Aid From C.I.A., and Official says CIA-funded weapons have begun to reach Syrian rebels; rebels deny receipt, reveal precisely how ISIS acquired its vast resources. ISIS is organized on a professional level precisely as described by Pollack, most likely the result of US military advisers and their counterparts in Saudi and Qatari special operations. ISIS is also heavily armed precisely as was required by Pollacks plan. They now possess an impressive and ever growing arsenal of weapons including tanks, missiles of all kinds, artillery, and even a small collection of aircraft including Russian warplanes and American helicopters. The New York Times, after years of reporting on the CIAs delivery of weapon systems to moderate militants, now laments of ISIS possession of advanced anti-air missiles. In its article, Missiles of ISIS May Pose Peril for Aircrews in Iraq, it reports: Syrian rebels have amassed multiple Manpad models since 2012, and the Islamic State has generally had little trouble acquiring any weapon used by Syrian rebels either through purchase or capture, military analysts say. Unprepared Iraqi troops the result of what Pollack claims as an American success have also augmented ISIS with precisely the weapons needed for Pollacks dream opposition army. No less than 30 M1 Abrams main battle tanks have fallen into ISIS hands. Prolific Neo-Conservative propagandist Michael Weiss in the Wall Street Journal attempts to downplay the implications of such weapons falling into ISIS hands by stating in his op-ed titled, Exploiting the ISIS Vulnerabilities in Iraq The terrorists heavy military equipment is hard to maintain, easy to target from the air, that: Today, we estimate that ISIS has less than a total of 30 working M1 Abrams tanks and howitzers that are either self-propelled or towed behind trucks (based on our knowledge of how the Iraqi army is equipped and what divisions were in the north). These are the weapons that gave the Islamic State the advantage over the Peshmerga in recent firefights. Yet ISIS does not have the highly trained maintenance crews that are necessary to keep these weapons in good working order. The same problem exists for its armored Humvees and Mine Resistant Ambush Protected personnel carriers. Without maintenance, these captured U.S. vehicles and weapons will break down. Only, ISIS Saudi, Qatari, and Jordanian sponsors most definitely do possess the highly trained maintenance crews necessary to keep these weapons in good working order since these despotic regimes each in turn possess a large number of exactly these weapon systems purchased from the United States itself. If the Saudis in particular, can fund, train, and arm ISIS with small arms and missiles, how difficult would it be to supply them with spare parts and properly trained maintenance crews? Turkey also maintains a number of US weapon systems, and possesses the ability to maintain modern battle tanks if not the M1 specifically and is already harboring, supplying, and backing ISIS another inconvenient truth challenging Weiss attempts to mislead readers. In fact, Pollacks proposal appears more like an after-action report. ISIS is the better Syrian opposition army the West has sought all along. That is probably why attempts by the US to fight ISIS appear half-hearted and why those the US is supposedly saving from ISIS see Western intervention as more of a threat than ISIS itself believing it is designed simply to prolong ISIS existence in the face of growing and increasingly more formidable indigenous opposition. Any provisions to build Pollacks army will undoubtedly end up only bolstering ISIS and its affiliates just as military aid policymakers like Pollack at Brookings advocated for the arming of moderates resulted in the creation of ISIS in the first place. While the US desperately attempts to disown responsibility for ISIS creation and perpetuation through an unconvincing propaganda campaign, false flag terror strikes against the homeland, and a series of increasingly ludicrous, orchestrated strawman victories in Iraq and Syria Damascus, Baghdad, and Tehran are leading the real fight against ISIS. The US apparently plans on protecting ISIS for as long as possible under the guise of being the sole force fighting it, while ISIS consolidates and moves on Western designated targets. In the process of fighting ISIS, the US is managing to destroy Syrian infrastructure and defenses. The US, however, has failed in attempts to exclude Syrian, Iraqi, and Iranian forces from countering the ISIS threat and now the region is witnessing a race between ISIS inevitable destruction and Americas attempts to topple Damascus before ISIS vanishes from its geopolitical toolbox.

3	The Bank Runs In Greece Will Soon Be Followed By Bank Runs In Other European NationsMichael Snyder, Contributor If you had money in a Greek bank, why wouldnt you pull it out? If Greece leaves the euro, all euros in Greek banks will likely be converted to drachmas, and the value of those drachmas will almost certainly decline dramatically. In fact, it has been estimated that Greek citizens could see the value of their bank accounts decline by up to 50 percent if Greece leaves the euro. So if you had money in a Greek bank, it would only make sense to withdraw it and move it to another country as quickly as possible. And as the eurozone begins to unravel, this is a scenario that we are going to see play out in country after country. As member nations leave the eurozone, you would be a fool to have your euros in Italian banks or Spanish banks when you could have them in German banks instead. So the bank runs that are happening in Greece right now are only a preview of things to come. Before this crisis is over we are going to see bank runs happening all over Europe. If Greece leaves the euro, the consequences are likely to be quite messy. Those that are promoting the idea that a Grexit can be done in an orderly fashion are not being particularly honest. The following is from a recent article in the Independent. Whoever tells you a Greek exit would be no big deal is an idiot, lying or disingenuous, said Sony Kapoor of the European think-tank Re-Define. Economists fear that a disorderly exit would prompt a huge run by investors on Spanish and Italian debt, forcing those countries to seek support from an EU bailout fund, which, with a capacity of just 500bn, is widely regarded as too small to cope with those pressures. If Greece is allowed to leave the euro, that will be a signal that other countries will eventually be allowed to leave as well. Nobody in their right mind would want their euros stuck in Spanish or Italian banks if those countries end up converting back to national currencies. Fear is a powerful motivator. If Greece converts their euros back to drachmas, that will be a clear signal that all euros are not created equally. The race to move money into German banks will accelerate dramatically. And a Greek exit from the euro is looking more likely with each passing day. Even the IMF is now admitting that it is a very real possibility. Christine Lagarde, head of the IMF, warned she was technically prepared for anything and said the utmost effort must be made to ensure any Greek exit was orderly. The effect was likely to be quite messy with risks to growth, trade and financial markets. It is something that would be extremely expensive and would pose great risks but it is part of options that we must technically consider, she said. Meanwhile, banks in other troubled European nations are already on shaky ground. The Spanish banking system is an absolute disaster zone at this point and on Monday night Moodys downgraded the credit ratings of 26 Italian banks. The situation in Italy is especially worth keeping a close eye on. As Ambrose Evans-Pritchard recently noted, things are not looking good for Italy at all. Italys former premier Romano Prodi said the EU risks instant contagion to Spain, Italy, and France if Greece leaves. The whole house of cards will come down, he said Angelo Drusiani from Banca Albertini said the only way to avert catstrophe is to convert the European Central Bank into a lender of last resort. Otherwise Italy faces massive devaluation, three to five years of hyperinflation, and unbearable unemployment. So what can be done about any of this? Well, there is actually a lot that could be done if politicians in Europe were willing to think outside of the established global financial paradigm. The truth is that Greece could solve their current financial problems in four easy steps. They would have to be willing to stick it to the rest of Europe and to risk being blackballed by the international community, but it could be done. The following is my prescription for Greece. In such a scenario, the Greek national debt would no longer be a problem, the Greek government would never have to borrow any more money and austerity would no longer be needed. Yes, inflation would be an issue with the new currency, but a bit of inflation would be a walk in the park compared to the horrible economic depression that Greece is experiencing right now. And once the Greek economy was growing again, it would certainly be possible for them to make the transition to hard money if they wanted to. It is imperative that we all understand that just because the global financial system works a certain way today does not mean that it must always work that way. If you have a few minutes, I want you to watch an incredible speech by a 12-year-old Canadian girl named Victoria Grant. In this 6 minute speech, she details how the bankers are defrauding the people of Canada and how the Canadian government does not actually need to borrow a single penny from the bankers. If a 12-year-old girl can figure this out, then why cant the rest of us? Sadly, the financial world still seems enamored with the corrupt central banking system that has gotten us into this mess. In fact, one recent poll found that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has a 75 percent approval rating from global investors. Right now, America is going down the same path as Greece, Spain and Italy have gone. Eventually we will hit a wall and our financial system will fall apart. We need the American people to understand that the Federal Reserve system is a perpetual debt machine. The U.S. national debt is now more than 5000 times larger than it was when the Fed was first created. It is at the very core of our national financial problems. When will people wake up and realize that central banking is the problem and not the solution? When will people wake up and realize that national governments do not have to go into debt to anyone if they do not want to? In our world today, there is far more debt than there is money. It is a system that will inevitably crash. But there are other alternatives. Unfortunately, politicians all over the globe continue to want to be married to our current debt-based financial system. As a result, we will suffer the consequences of that system. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse.

1	Following Mariano Rivera's second consecutive blown save Sunday, coaches and executives led the11-time All Star and World Series MVP into an office, slammed the door shut, and reamed him out for several minutes, team sources reported. 'I heard coach [Joe Girardi] scream, 'You have one responsibility out there, and you screwed it up, goddammit!'' said outfielder Curtis Granderson, adding that he also heard several voices shout 'Take your head out of your ass,' 'You're the worst closer in the world!' and 'I am so mad at you right now!' 'Mariano had tears running down his cheeks when he walked back into the locker room, but that didn't stop Derek [Jeter] or Robinson [Cano] from telling him to stop acting like a fucking baby.' Though Rivera later apologized for his actions, Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild told him to sit down, shut up, and think about what he did. 
2	BEWARE: If You See Purple Posts In The Woods, It Means THIS Way back in the settler days, it was harder to tell where someones land began and the wilderness ended. People often would stray onto others properties, unwittingly incurring the wrath of landowners with shotguns who wanted to protect their families and livestock from intruders. They needed to adopt a practice that would effectively let wanderers or travelers know to beware of their land, so innocent people wouldnt get hurt when they were mistaken for potential burglars. People began to paint posts outside their land purple, indicating where not to tread if you knew any better. The trend began in Arkansas and made its way all the way up to at its northernmost point Indiana. A purple post meant, if you want to get out of here with your life, you best steer clear of this hearth, my friend. The practice is still kept up, mostly in very forested areas, across the south and the north. Purple was the selected color because it stands out so easily in the relatively drab monochrome landscape of southern and midwestern woods. So if you see purple next time youre hunting, fishing, or camping, stay away, or you might regret it! 
1	Having recently announced his impending retirement after 20 seasons in the NBA, Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Kobe Bryant reportedly grew wistful and teary-eyed Friday while reflecting on all the mistakes his teammates made throughout his career. Listing off all their missed shots, blown defensive assignments, and careless turnovers, an emotional Bryant told reporters that the times he ripped into teammates for their poor play remain some of his favorite moments of his two-decade tenure in the league. People will always want to talk about the championships, the All-Star selections, or the scoring titles, but what Ill really always cherish are all the times I let my teammates know when they completely fucked up, said Bryant, adding that since deciding to retire at the end of this season, he has been hit by a sudden wave of nostalgia for all of the instances in which he unloaded on his fellow players for their mental errors or lack of physicality against opponents. It really is the little things that stick with me, like yelling at Dwight Howard for not taking a charge or kicking Kwame Brown out of practice because he didnt dive for a loose ball. Thats the type of stuff Ill really miss the most, Bryant added. While stating that so many of his teammates past failures stand out to him, Bryant told reporters that certain fuckups will always be especially meaningful, such as the very first time he chewed out Rick Fox in his rookie year for playing soft defense, as well as the 2010 Western Conference Finals when he screamed at Luke Walton because he was not boxing out in the paint. Bryant then quickly added that he would never forget constantly criticizing Deron Williams for being too predictable with the ball while they were playing for Team USA at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. The 17-time NBA All-Star also became visibly choked up when describing how special it was as a fresh-faced 18-year-old to tell then-teammate Byron Scott that he cant play for shit back in 1997, and then have the opportunity to tell Scott that he cant coach for shit either almost 20 years later. After wiping away a tear, Bryant then shook his head and laughed while recounting the time he questioned Derek Fishers masculinity in front of his wife and children. Ill always remember when we were playing the Wizards in December of 2005, and Sasha Vujacic made an absolutely terrible pass in the second quarter that was stolen by Etan Thomas, said Bryant, adding that angrily confronting Vujacic in front of the entire team during a timeout is one of the things hell most associate with his NBA career when looking back in 50 years. We still ended up winning that game, but later in the locker room I pulled Sasha aside and told him, You fucking suck. You suck at basketball, and you have no business being on the same court as me. Youre the most worthless, garbage player Ive ever seen in my life. Youre nothing. Get the fuck off my team. I remember the look he had on his face like it was yesterday. Man, Im getting emotional just thinking about it, continued Bryant, pausing to clear his throat. Those are the things Ill be telling my grandkids about. Bryant went on to recount several more of the most cherished memories from his career off the top of his head, including furiously screaming at Trevor Ariza for failing to execute a pick-and-roll in 2008; Caron Butler for missing a contested baseline jumper in 2004; Pau Gasol for not securing a rebound during the 2009 playoffs; Steve Blake for turning the ball over against the Knicks in 2010; Robert Horry for failing to kick the ball out to him for an open three-pointer on five separate occasions over the 2001-02 season; Devean George for missing a free throw against the Pacers in 2002; Matt Barnes for committing a three-second violation in 2012; Gary Payton for being out of position during a game against the Mavericks in 2003; Jordan Farmar for every single shot he missed in the 2013-14 season; Andrew Bynum for blowing the chance for a three-point play after being fouled on a layup in 2007; and Horace Grant for an errant inbounds pass in 2001. Bryant added that he will also never forget aggressively confronting Shaquille ONeal when the center fouled out against the Jazz in 2001, or when ONeal failed to call out a screen in 2003, or when ONeal did not hustle back on defense in the second quarter of their Christmas Day game in 2002, or when ONeal did not play through a toe injury in 2001, or when ONeal led him too far with an outlet pass during a preseason game against the Suns on October 22, 1999. The hardest part about walking away from the game is the day-to-day stuffknowing I wont be coming into practice every morning and getting the chance to call Nick Young a soft, overrated waste of a roster spot right to his face while guarding him in a scrimmage, said Bryant. Its sad thinking that I may have stormed off the practice court in a show of pure disgust for the last time. I dont know if thats really even sunk in yet. Im just going to have to really savor ripping them apart during whats left of the season, Bryant added. 
3	As Obama Preps To Send Troops Into Syria The US Govt Is Already Planning Their Next Major CoupBy Claire Bernish Indeed, though the controversy over quintupling U.S. ground troops in Syria despite vows by the Obama administration at least 16 times there would be no boots on the ground constitutes a valid and pertinent debate, it cant be allowed to obfuscate whats taking place in Brazil. To understand the importance of the ongoing tumult, you need only look at who matters to both the Brazilian and U.S. political elite and it clearly isnt the 54 million people who re-elected Brazils first female president just 18 months ago. In fact, the U.S. State Department has all but publicly asserted its support for the usurpation of power by Brazils center-right Social Democracy Party (PDSB) perhaps because, as has been suggested by many, U.S. fingerprints are all over the coup. What better way to thwart Brazils successful dealings with Russia and China, as part of the BRICS economic alliance, than to insert an oligarchical leader whose party heavily favors U.S. interests. First, its necessary to revisit the mechanics of the coup as well as the controversy surrounding those involved. Brazils lower house of Congress voted to impeach Rousseff on April 17 on the premise of her alleged complicity in albeit relatively minor corruption. But the true impetus for Rousseffs removal, contrary to the narrative championed by Brazils corporate media, is transparently evidenced in those calling for it and in whom they wish to replace her with. Bruno Arajo, a congressman who has been implicated as possibly receiving funds from a construction giant embroiled in a corruption scandal, helped tip the vote for impeachment earlier this month. Arajo, as the Intercept reported, belongs to the same PDSB party that lost four elections in a row to Rousseffs Workers Party (PT). [T]he most important means for understanding the truly anti-democratic nature of whats taking place, the Intercepts Glenn Greenwald explained, is to look at the person whom Brazilian oligarchs and their media organs are trying to install as president: the corruption-tainted, deeply unpopular, oligarch-serving Vice President Michael Temer. For all the negative attention trained on Rousseff, Temers unpopular image and duplicitous dealings are worse, and could be worthy of his own impeachment proceedings. And he isnt alone. Altogether, 60 percent of the 594 members of Brazils Congress face serious charges like bribery, electoral fraud, illegal deforestation, kidnapping and homicide, as The New York Times cited corruption watchdog, Transparency Brazil. But PDSB seeks to bypass that not-at-all minor detail through Rouseffs impeachment which, if successful, would automatically bring Temer to power much to the satisfaction of the United States government. To wit, another major figure pushing for the removal of Rousseff, Senator Aloysio Nunes, traveled to Washington, D.C., the day after the impeachment vote to consult with the third most powerful State Department official, Thomas Shannon, in a closed-door meeting. As co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, Mark Weisbrot, explained in an article for the Huffington Post, Shannon had no obligatory duty to meet with Nunes but his doing so sent a clear message of at least tacit acceptance of the impeachment proceedings by the White House. U.S. support of the current coup echoes that of the previous Brazilian coup in 1964 a violent usurpation of power by U.S.-friendly dictator, during which Dilma Rousseff, herself, became a victim of physical torture. But perhaps the most telling indication of U.S. support for deposing Rousseff can be found in a detail of Nunes recent Washington trip. As the Intercepts Andrew Fishman explained in an interview with Democracy Now, Nunes was a guest at a private luncheon thrown by the Albright Stonebridge Group a firm co-founded by the former CEO of Kellogg and Madeleine Albright, former secretary of state under Bill Clinton. [O]ne of the senior advisers affiliated with the Albright Stonebridge Group, Fishman, who is located in Brazil, noted, is the leader of an organization down here thats very involved in the push against the Dilma government. He added that while the U.S. government hasnt made any official stance on Rousseffs impending impeachment, it seems pretty obvious as to what their stance is and which side theyre supporting or would support. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Another country, another hostile take-over. And on to the next one Obama is already preparing for riots. As are his handlers, in more ways than one! Bill Ayers, Obamas longtime good friend since his days as a young man, is the convicted Domestic Terrorist communist whose organization Underground Weather bombed the US State Department and a police officers home, among other targets. In sync with Soros, Ayers used social media to urge the US political left to disrupt Trump rallies. TPTB are stirring the pot attempting to get people fighting each other, as per usual Why are the Generals not REFUSING to obey CRIMINAL ORDERS? The US has no legitimate reason for entering Syria. ANY troops is a criminal invasion of a sovereign nation. And we all know Obama is heading the start of WWIII. Thats a fear tactic to force the people of the world to accept the NWO. A true WW3 would decimate the Globalists control and infrastructure. The Globalists have been playing this same tune since they created the Soviet Union, and then went on to bring Mao and the Chinese communists to power. Control with fear. pending approvalposting without a NY Times article link It seems disingenuous to suggest the ouster of Rousseff is entirely anti-democratic given reports by Brazilian activists, media, and fellow politicians of her arrogant, authoritarian style, breaking pledges, and refusal to meet with members of Brazils congress and others for 5 years among other problems. The Intercept is a suspicious source of information given billionaire founder Omidyar apparently supports the NSA and the Establishment. Also suspicious is Greenwald who stonewalled his reporting on the States Secrets Privilege cases being used against US govt (NSA, FBI) whistleblowers to silence them for reasons of national security as reported by S. Edmonds. Greenwald focused his reporting instead on suspected Islamic terrorists in the US which undermined public support for congressional oversight into abuse of the SSP program. There is some complex subterfuge in these reports as all of these media sources are designed to blow smoke. Yes, the US Elites instigate coups but not to target the BRICS who are puppeteered by the same Masters including BIS, IMF, UN World Bank. We will probably never know what the real dynamics are. The very fact that there is a symbol proves there is a reality. The fact of a shadow proves there must be a substance. Passionately devote yourself to the pursuit of Wisdom and obtain Knowledge. Love is a force more subtle than all Wisdom and more potent than life or eternity itself. the puppets and their mercenary forces march ever onward. And ordered by a tyrant whos goal is to enslave the world. The Chinese are never going to let America take over the influence in Brazil. One, Brazil is a Major player in BRICS Banking Cartel and two, the Chinese need all the iron-ore resources that Brazil has and third, the Chinese built a 2 Mile Long Pier off of Brazil just for their Cargo Ships! The Chinese have to much invested to let the US screw all this up. Thanks for removing all doubt! The CIA has long been in the business of destabilizing nations. This time the attack is against a BRICS country in a bid to protect the Western financial oligarchy. A similar attack is also being launched against South Africa. Can you point me to where Trump said he wants war with China please. As a well informed Brazillian as i consider myself about this matter, i have to first say this is a good an accurate article. We had to forgot the main media and feed ourselves from unconventional media cause people are being massivelly manipulated here. So we are a polarized country without the ability to talk the same language cause its like two groups living in total different countries, because of that misinformation. A lot of hate also, coming from a number of people who just cant swallow the arise of the poorest from 2002 until now. They where shy, but this political moment ended up to giving a loud voice to this kind of people. The US always had an eye on South America, but i think its becoming worse from the last few years, cause theyre managing to influence the most important governments at the same time, like they already have done in Venezuela, Argentina and now almost done in Brazil. Their interest in Brazil gone wild as the discovering of the Pre-sal, one of the biggest oil reserves of the world. Venezuela have an even large (a lot more) one. The political pressure here started (or got worse) when Rouseffs Gov didnt sold the Petrobras extraction rights. Im not talking about the US like the sole vulture, blaming a country to put mine as just a victim. No, we also have companies and people here working together, ravaging the country and probably working along with international interesting including US. This not to mention the sack of workers rigths thats going on in some European countries (France for sure), Argentina its happening now and here in Brazil were already aware about a lot of right losses that are going to be. Umm, you exceptionals do understand that its YOUR spawn and YOUR taxes being used by the Judas Class and their owners to shove Central Banks down the throats of every nation on the planet for their Bolshevik owners, right? (knocks on collective skulls, getting a hollow BONG-like sound in return). You DO understand the Judas Class in D.C. spends approaching 650 BILLIONS EACH AND EVERY YEAR to maintain +/- 800 combat-ready bases in over 125 nations to ensure any attempts by the indigenous people to BOOT OUT the Central Banks and their Bolshevik owners from within their appointed positions in government can be answered swiftly? (knocks on collective skulls, getting a hollow BONG-like sound in return..again). Might I assume you are further aware that the infrastructure of Sewer nation was rated D-MINUS in 2009 and yet we still funnel billions in gifts/contracts etc. to Israel while your fellow Christians/Muslims live in sewer systems and tent cities? (bitch slaps their collective faces in an apparently useless attempt to awaken them). Oops, sorry. I hadnt noticed your attention was being held by the latest stud in use by the Kardashians was discussing sports. My bad. 
1	Shedding light on the suspected league-wide officiating trend, a new study published Wednesday by researchers at Baylor University has suggested that NFL referees may in fact display a clear bias toward disciplined football teams. According to our analysis of officiating decisions over the past several seasons, referees do appear to distinctly favor teams that exhibit poise and play in accordance with NFL rules and regulations, said lead researcher Randall Levitz, explaining that on-field rulings disproportionately punish teams that frequently jump offsides, engage in excessive celebrations, or shove opponents after a play is blown dead. In any given game, for example, the team that repeatedly delivers cheap-shot late hits on the opposing quarterback is targeted for roughing the passer penalties far more often than the team that does not do that. And accordingly, maintaining focus and professionalism throughout all four quarters yields a distinct and, frankly, totally unfair competitive advantage. The study went on to confirm that the blatant officiating bias has directly affected the outcome of virtually every game involving the Detroit Lions over the past five seasons.

1	Beloved NBA and Olympic coach Chuck Daly, who passed away May 9 after a battle with pancreatic cancer, was laid to rest by family and friends yesterday in a quiet ceremony at which a visibly moved and weeping Bill Laimbeer respectfully hard-fouled Daly's casket into its final resting place with a savage and reverent elbow. 'That's for teaching me to have respect for myself and never give up, Coach,' Laimbeer said as Daly's pallbearers, including former Pistons John Salley, Joe Dumars, and Rick Mahorn, sprawled back on the grass with their arms outstretched and looked to the funeral director for a whistle. 'Thank you, Mr. Daly, for making me the man I am today.' The otherwise touching ceremony was marred only by an outburst of emotion from Dennis Rodman, who threw himself into Daly's grave and writhed sobbing on the coffin while tearing at his black silk wedding dress.

'People came from as far away as Lancaster to pitch in,' said local delivery-truck driver Jonathan Beckman, 44. 'It was a real team effort: Me, Zachary Fordice, and Eli White poured the foundation while old Benjamin Wetzel built the prep-tables, and the womenfolk installed the booths' vinyl seat covers.' Beckman said his wife Maryellen 'can't wait' to whip up a fresh homemade batch of Arby's famous Horsey Sauce. 
3	Seattle, Olympia to be Sprayed With Bacteria Used For GMO Genetics (Bt): to Treat MothsBy Cassius Kamarampi Here is a map of the areas being sprayed. Approved by authorities and opposed by many people, they decided to spray a bacteria with pesticide properties called Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), the bacteria from which a gene comes that is used in GM crops to kill insects. According to KOMO: Asian and European gypsy Moths have been detected this year in Washington. The invasive insects have ferocious appetites for maple and oak and foliage from trees and plants. The Washington State Department of Agriculture says the damage caused by the moths would have serious economic and environmental implications. Does anybody have a problem with this? Given the shady history of the US government testing harmful bacteria on civilians, such as San Francisco or New York City in 1966 Navy Operation Sea Spray, citizens would be wise to test the state and somehow observe for themselves what is happening here. Sure it could be relatively innocuous, but its necessary for the people to be a check and balance to the state: to this bureaucracy of the Department of Agriculture (known for cracking down on seed banks and supporting agrichemical giants). Maybe someone could run an independent chemical test on this bacterial spray, or put it under a microscope. Any mechanism of holding the state accountable while they encroach further and further upon our lives would be worthy of trying at this point. This article (Seattle, Olympia to be Sprayed With Bacteria Used For GMO Genetics (Bt): to Treat Moths) is free and open source. You have permission to republish this article under a Creative Commons license with attribution to Era of Wisdom.org. Umm, this GMO used bt insecticide is in fact an organic approved insecticide used safely by organic farmers and gardeners and really has nothing to do with GMOs Clear Food: yep, you got it right. Ive used it for years on tent caterpillars, grasshoppers and other critters and Ive been an organic gardener for decades. One would think the writer would have looked it up before writing. If it isnt GM it should be fine. I wrote this article, definitely understand that its used for that. I recommended people do their own independent chemical or bacterial testing on the substance they spray, to hold the state accountable and determine the safety of what they are spraying ourselves. The important part for me is the fact that theyre doing this regardless of how people feel about it, I think we should test the substance and hold them accountable. You wrote this article? Well, thank you for that. We all need more info about this stuff. For instance, why do other countries without hesitation deny the GMO food to enter their country? Has anyone SEEN the rats that were fed this stuff? Ive never seen so many tumors on my animals and I try to keep them away from cheap products. My chocolate lab has a tumor in a lung or in the same place as the lung and it is the size of a soccer ball. Ive had a huge tumor taken off my other lab that the vets called an allergy. Lots of lumps and bumpssure theyve had access to the cheap dog food with lots of GMO corn included and Ive never had a dog with tumors like thiseven two dogs. Bt is a pretty cool substance and is called a pesticide because that is what it is used for. Bt comes in 3 varieties. Only one is available to us and that Bt produces toxins only specific to caterpillars. There are 2 others; one for mosquitos and one for beetles. Havent found them available. Bt is the bacteria that produces the toxin. The caterpillars eat the leaves that are sprayed with this and stop eating because they feel full. Then they starve to death. Very, very specific. Somehow these idiot chemical companies (Monsanto) have attached something to the genome of vegetables that the plant itself is actually producing this same toxin. This saves the farmers money I guess but once a farmer starts using GMO they are unable to switch back to NON GMO seed. Theyve screwed up other countries and little farmers because of this. Start using GMO and you are a slave to GMO seed. btw this is just scratching the surface of GMO changes. I was hoping (grins) that the fatties would find by eating GMO with this Bt that they would STOP EATING and lose weight. Havent noticed this effect. Probably because we arent caterpillarsthat is how safe this stuff is. But sorry. I DONT WANT TO eat this toxin so I dont eat corn anymore. Problem is almost all GMO has been altered to where it is no longer a healthy thing to eat and Bt is just ONE alteration. There is also GLYPHOSATE or a roundup herbicide included in the genome now. Also a pretty safe chemical but NOT FOR EATING!! Who knows the extent of their changes, alterations and our reactions to this stuff. WE dont know. THEY dont care about OUR HEALTH. We are guinea pigs. We just work to make money for the ELITES. This has been tested I think! Look it up and take a peek at the poor mice and rats. And yet they thought that tumors were no big dealthey just dont care. If you arent growing your own food, you are probably buying and eating GMO. I do not buy anything that doesnt say NON GMO. Recently, the label restrictions on GMO were stopped. Product does not have to say GMO OR NON GMO anymore. I just hope that decent farmers and producers of food keep on labeling. Otherwise I do not buy GMO. My animals do not eat GMO. I only purchase NON GMO seeds for my garden. Cant make my own seed because the pollen of GMO vegetables are floating everywhere. In addition what is truly weird is that our forests are pretty unhealthy. Because they are unhealthy (pH change in the soil for example) our trees especially conifers are getting major damage from bark beetles. Why dont they spray the beetle Bt on our forests? Ive seen hugely brown and very sick wilderness that are perfect for fire. Yet they put this stuff in the genome of our vegetablesnot just corn! Spraying Bt is fine, eating is not! btw I have been for decades a licensed commercial pesticide applicator. The only license Ive not gotten is pesticides for water. Ill never ever do that but I took the seminars just to get the knowledge. Superior. The cool thing about pesticide applicator licensing is that the people giving the tests (WSU cooperative extension service) teach how NOT TO HAVE TO USE PESTICIDES. Then there are the guys who have to have a license to use the pesticides for landscape maintenance. Anyone with a pickup can go do landscape maintenance. But boy do these hard working uneducated people have a tough time. They make problems This pesticide licensing has the option to just go take the test or a seminar series to teach one how to pass the test. Id make sure my hired lawn mower services are licensed!! Demand it cause it is the law! Sigh, unfortunately it is not the corporations but HOMEOWNERS that use pesticides incorrectly. Seriously. Homeowners are horrible!! federal laws prohibit spraying the the concoction they are using on or near people as seen in the msds sheets To be clear : Organic farmers do use Bt ;HOWEVER the Bt that is used in GMO foods is not the same strain and has been altered to boot. Dont trust that the benign version of this is all they are spraying either; I Sorry was cut off on last post. Cape Cod was sprayed for the Gypsy moth back in the 50s when I was a child .

There are 2 other types of Btone for mosquitos and one for beetles. Very specific, very cool if used correctly. Bt is NOT GMO. Lets get that straight right now. GMO uses something or other to splice Bt toxin making into the genes of plants we eat such as corn. This is in an effort to save money on pesticides their farmers use to get the most out of their crops. Too weird. Too gross. So wrong. Very true, Sharon. I was wondering what the author of this article is trying to pull. I am guessing he is just ignorant of things he writes about. Typical for the modern blogger This article is testing us (us = those reading this article and responding) to see just how unawares we are. I wouldnt want them spraying anything they are not your friend and have proven to be untrustworthy. I really dont know about this hacking thing..But i just came across a Ive tried to find exactly what MOTH they are spraying FOR. Obviously they need to spray when this moth is in larval formlet me know. Ill keep looking for the specific pestof primary importance to know the dang critter one is using any pesticide for. Then one can also do PREVENTATIVE cultural methods instead of using a bandaid for problems created because of bad information or no botanical, entomological information!! I live in Western Washington but not directly in the area they are to spray. I live in Tacoma. About 16 years ago they said there was this same problem with these moths ( I lived in northeast tacoma then) We were leaving somewhere in a car and a plane is spraying all around. (This was before we had the internet) On a saturday afternoon. I remember the butterflies all died. Never saw a one around there for years. Especially the monarch. I cant believe this is safe to do. Especially on a Saturday again when everyone is home.

In an interview with British GQ, Vaughn claims that he supports people having a gun in public full stop, not just in your home. We have the right to bear arms to resist the supreme power of a corrupt and abusive government, Vaughn told GQ. Its not about duck hunting; its about the ability of the individual. Its the same reason we have freedom of speech. Vaughn went on to compare firearm to restrictions to silverware, saying that banning guns is like banning forks in an attempt to stop making people fat and that taking away guns, taking away drugs, the booze, it wont ride the world of criminality. According to Vaughn, restrictions on gun rights by the government represent an even larger problem. Governments claim to write endless laws to protect us, a law for this, a law for that, but are they working? Vaughn asked. I dont think so. The consequences are that there is a staggering loss of freedom for the individual. What do you think of Vaughns comments? Do you support his stand for freedom?

I think Im going to run a couple naked laps around the coffee table just so I can really get a feel for it before the weekend, said Burmaster, adding that he intends to fully expose himself in his kitchen before sprinting past his couch, entertainment center, and cat tower in an effort to work out the kinks of the process ahead of his planned streak across a local baseball field during an upcoming game. Four or five dry runs should be enough to really get it down. I just want to know that when the time comes, Ill be able to rip my clothes off while running at the same time, keep a good pace, and generally look confident while doing it. As he began practicing, Burmaster added to reporters that the last thing he wants to do Saturday is make a complete fool of [himself].

3	The Days of Decline -- Images from an Economic Collapse in ProgressJohn Galt This is a familiar scenario the world over as divide-and-conquer techniques pit police against the very people it is in their best interest to protect while the engineers of the collapse sit back and watch from afar. These images have continued to multiply throughout other collapsed economies, past and present, where the First World quickly can become the Third. The conflagration that could take place in America amid a lethally armed population defies the imagination, which is clearly why the police state is oiling its machinery to take on the outraged and weaponized. We would do well to keep the following images from Greece as an up-to-date reminder of what violence produces. Meanwhile, as shown in the second video below, whole communities in other areas of Greece are taking positive action to build something new by devising ways tosell freedom, and thus render irrelevant the system that has led to their decline. Which of these possibilities contains the most hope for changing the human condition? Unlike the past, the entire world is now on the bankster chopping block.

2	Racist Teens Burn Down House With Mother And Children Inside As Act Of Revenge As the Michael Brown case continues to make headlines, many Americans are wondering whether a white-on-black crime would have yielded the same results. In fact, this question has prompted an alarming number of cases to rise to the surface. Unfortunately, these are not being covered by the mainstream media. Apparently, when a white mother and her children have their home burned down by a group of black thugs, it just simply isnt newsworthy. We beg to differ. When Jennifer Chitwood returned to her Ohio home one day, she found a group of black men robbing her. She reported the incident to police, however she continued to be terrorized by the same group time and time again. Since then, she has become a target. They dont like you calling the police on them, Chitwood told local reporters. They said if you guys call the police were coming back for you. Every time I walk down the street I get called names by girls and guys. [They say] youre the one that called police on my brother. Youre the one that put my cousin in jail. Recently, Jennifer Chitwood and her children almost didnt make it out of the house to escape flames. She immediately called 911 to report the incident. Luckily, the 17-year-old who attempted to torch Chitwoods house will be tried as an adult, as will one of his 18-year-old partners. UPDATE: Sorry the video has been removed.

3	Bahrain: The Key to Saudi-Qatari ServitudeNeo-Cons pet project in Bahrain serves as point of leverage for Saudi-Qatari capitulation. Like an axe poised above ones neck at execution, the despotic hereditary regimes of Saudi Arabia and Qatar have the specter of their own US-fueled Arab Springs looming over them, ever ready to be triggered. A constant reminder of this is the destabilized Sunni royal family in Bahrain, in the epicenter of Saudi and Qatari power. The Bahrain protests, like those of Egypt, Libya, Syria, Myanmar, North Korea, Thailand, and beyond, were trained, equipped, and supported by the US State Department. Leading opposition organizations, such as the US-based Witness Bahrain and Bahrain Center for Human Rights, are partnered directly with US State Department-funded fronts like the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) while a high-profile self-proclaimed leader of the protests, Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, was regional coordinator of Frontline Defenders, a Ford Foundation, Freedom House, American Jewish World Service, Soros Open Society Institute-funded human rights advocacy group. Al-Khawaja is now carrying out a hunger strike while in prison. As covered in NED Freedom House are run by Warmongering Imperialists, Freedom House, in tandem with its umbrella organization, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) (which funds directly the Bahrain Human Rights Society) are run by some of the most overt warmongers and corporate-financier interests imaginable and have demonstratively abused their positions within so-called human rights and democracy promotion organizations to outright topple targeted nations. Joining Freedom House in a recent torrent of attention given to the often neglected protests in Bahrain, is the Foreign Policy Initiative (FPI) which is for all intents and purposes the Project for a New American Centurys (PNAC) latest reincarnation. Notorious Neo-Conservatives William Kristol, Robert Kagan, Dan Senor, Eric Edelman, Ellen Bork, and Jamie Fly all of whom operate in and out of Fortune 500-funded think-tanks like the Brookings Institution, Harvards Belfer Center, and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) constitute FPIs membership and churn out primarily pro-war endorsements, just as PNAC did before it. Their most recent work involved promoting the NATO-led evisceration of Libya and its handing over to Al Qaedas Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG). They now seek a repeat performance in Syria. FPI in February of 2012 held an event titled, The Unfinished February 14 Uprising: Whats Next for Bahrain? in partnership with the National Endowment for Democracy-funded propaganda front Project on Middle East Democracy (POMED). Speakers included Neo-Con Elliott Abrams of the CFR and Joost Hiltermann of the Soros-funded International Crisis Group (ICG) which played a pivotal role in the destabilization of Tunisia, Egypt, and Syria. The sense one gets from listening to the 90 minute FPI-POMED event is of stretching out the conflagration in Bahrain for as long as possible while ultimately threatening neighboring Saudi Arabia. And while Bahrain has, like Libya, Syria, and Egypt responded to street violence with security forces wielding deadly force, Bahrain is not spoken of in the same dire and urgent terms as Libya, Syria, or Egypt were. Panel members at the event note that the fate of Bahrain is tied directly to that of the Saudis, and that the survival of the Bahraini Al Khalifa royal family is existentially linked to the House of Saud. Certainly then, US subversion turned up sufficiently as to overthrow the Al Khalifa family would in turn existentially threaten the Sauds who are themselves sitting upon a powder keg of instability resultant from decades of despotic rule. Saudi Arabias stability is owed to its immense security apparatus, constructed, armed, and funded by the United States. In many instances, the US has cooperated operationally with Saudi security forces in maintaining internal order. To simply pull the legs out from under the Saudis, especially after allowing Bahrain to fall entirely, would be a simple matter. What then are the Saudis paying in return to keep this card from being played? Where does the soft spot of humanitarian concerns in Bahrain come from amongst Neo-Con warmongers within both Freedom House and FPI? Quite clearly in the case of Iraq, Iran, Libya, and Syria, it is a crass, clumsy pretext for naked military aggression. In Bahrains case, it is much more nuanced. Photo: Saudi troops were allowed to enter Bahrain and help crush US-backed uprisings. Little to no mention was made across Western media primarily because Saudi Arabia and neighboring Qatar had already fully committed to supporting Western ambitions in Libya. Both Saudi Arabia and Qatar have provided immense resources to the Wests Arab Spring blitzkrieg starting in Tunisia, across Libya and Egypt, and now embroiling Syria. Qatar provided troops, aircraft, arms, and cash for Libyan terrorists as they swept the government from power and has throughout the Arab Spring provided 24/7 propaganda via Qatari government run Al Jazeera, which masquerades as a news agency. Tellingly, requests for Saudi arms and support for US-led NATO operations against Libya came in tandem with news of a planned day of rage aimed at Saudis ruling family. The date came and went with little consequence, after Saudi Arabia and Qatar pledged full support against Qaddafi. Similarly in Syria, both kingdoms are likewise providing arms and cash, and even wages for Syrian terrorists to take up arms against the Syrian government. And as the next step comes for Syria, backing NATO-member Turkey in establishing Washington prescribed safe havens and humanitarian corridors in a Libya-style escalation, the West has begun to predictably turn the screws on Bahrain. It is quite clear then that Saudi and Qatari support for the US-engineered Arab Spring is born not out of altruism or fellowship, but out of fear for their own survival, with unrest already being triggered and encouraged by the West in at least Saudi Arabia, and with Bahrain resigned to a slow burn, briefly fanned by the West at junctures such as these, where a great amount of support is required against Syria to overcome recent setbacks. It is difficult to sympathize with either Qatar or Saudi Arabia, who have committed as much in the betrayal of their neighbors on behalf of Wall Street and London as they have against their own people. One wonders if amidst their spectacular betrayal of their Arab brothers, whether or not they realize they are next when Syria and Iran falls. There are no seats at the tables on Wall Street or in London for the despotic regimes of Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Ultimately, their self-preservation lies in both reforming themselves and balking foreign meddling in their backyard not facilitating it.

3	Fail: Big Tobacco Court-Ordered To Tell Only Half The TruthSayer Ji, Contributor With the latest order by a U.S. judge to force tobacco firms to admit they lied about the dangers of smoking making todays international headlines, it is easy to forget that big tobacco did not only lie, but knowingly allowed millions of smokers to suffer and die from radioisotope-contaminated tobacco poisoning with their full knowledge and consent. According to a 2009 article in the journal Isis, both external and industry scientists started researching the dangers of radioisotopes in cigarettes over 40 years ago. The first scientific paper on polonium-210, a daughter radioisotope of uranium, linking it to lung cancer was published in 1964. According to the article: The internal documents referenced above, which were made available online in 1998 by the Master Settlement Agreement, revealed that the companies suppressed publication of their own internal research to avoid heightening the publics awareness of radioactivity in cigarettes.[ii] Polonium-210 is a byproduct of the decay of uranium daughter isotopes, which, while occurring naturally in the environment, are primarily found within our soil as a result of the use of phosphate fertilizers and pollution from various industries. Industry sources include uranium mining, nuclear and coal-fired power plants. In fact, fly ash produced from coal-fired power carries 100 times more radiation into the surrounding environment than a nuclear power plant producing the same amount of energy. This is, of course, when nuclear power plants properly contain their radioactive fuel and waste and dont release massive, irretrievable quantities of radioisotopes into the environment, as occurred in Chernobyl and Fukushima. Nuclear weapons and munitions (depleted uranium), are another well-known source of global contamination. Also, for those who believe certified organic tobacco is safer, no matter where the uranium comes from, tobacco plants selectively absorb and concentrate the byproduct of its decay, Polonium-210, to dangerous if not lethal levels. The relatively high levels found within tobacco are rather consistent over time and geographical area.[iii] A recent review published in the journal Nicotine Tobacco Research summarized this disturbing fact of history as follows: These findings indicate that the tobacco industrys relationship to their consumer base was (and still is) homicidal, in the worst, premeditated sense of the word. The motive? Profit. The industry actually knew how to mitigate the problem, but realized it would interfere with the addictive power of their product (and therefore profitability) to do so: Because of the fact that the dominant radiation risk model does not acknowledge the profoundly detrimental effects of low-dose, internalized radioisotope exposure (largely because it was developed before the discovery of DNA in the early 50s and was based on external exposures to the type of gamma-radiation associated with atomic bomb blast), the true dangers associated with Polonium-210 have been largely concealed, distorted or discounted. According to a review published in the journal Health Physics in 2010, smoking tobacco has resulted in 443,000 deaths and 5.1 million years of potential life lost among the U.S. population each year from 2000 through 2004. Furthermore, the review estimated that the associated collective radiation dose from smoking is more than 36 times that to the workers at all the U.S. nuclear power plants, U.S. Department of Energy nuclear weapons facilities, and crews of all the vessels in the U.S. Nuclear Navy. It is no surprise then that it has been suggested that tobacco products should carry a radiation-exposure warning label.[iv] View the Polonium abstracts from the National Library of Medicine indexed on Greenmedinfo.com.

1	Scott Moreland, a walking database of sports facts and figures, scorned Tim Dansby, a walking database of science-fiction anecdotes and trivia, Monday afternoon. Sci-fi geek Tim Dansby (right), the object of sports geek Scott Moreland's (left) mockery and derision. 'God, what a friggin' geek,' said Moreland, eyeing Dansby in the food court of Willowbrook Mall. 'Saturday nights, I bet he gets together with his other geek buddies and whacks off to Star Wars on video. He's probably never even gotten laid.' Moreland, a 27-year-old bachelor who spends most Saturday nights watching ESPN and checking for injury updates on CNNSI.com, then left the food court and headed to The Fan Zone, where he browsed a rack of extra-large New York Giants jerseys. 'Back in high school, there were a bunch of guys like that in my study hall. They'd spend the entire period talking about Alien Nation. I swear, they knew every line from every episode by heart,' said Moreland, who can recite the batting average and on-base percentage of every member of the '86 Mets. 'Who needs to memorize that kind of stuff? How useless is that?' A self-described 'sports fanatic' who experiences vicarious thrills through such idols as Mike Piazza and Tiki Barber, Moreland said he can't understand science-fiction fans' obsession with make-believe characters like Captain Kirk and Boba Fett. 'Guys like [Dansby], they see these pretend people on TV and in the movies, and they think they're real,' said Moreland, who once waited in line for three hours to get New York Knicks guard Charlie Ward's autograph at an Edison, NJ, Modell's sporting-goods store. 'How sad is that, to live your life through these fictional characters from, like, Star Trek and stuff? It's like these sci-fi nerds can't handle the real world, so they hide in a fake one.' En route from The Fan Zone to Lidz, a mall baseball-cap shop, Moreland spotted Dansby emerging from The Astral Plane, a store specializing in fantasy games and figurines. 'The guy even dresses like a total geek,' said Moreland, who rarely leaves the house without a jersey or T-shirt displaying his team loyalties. 'What does his shirt say? Akira? Whatever that is, I'm sure it's not cool.' Added Moreland: 'The Islanders are gonna kick some major ass this year. They picked up [Alexei] Yashin from the Senators and [Chris] Osgood from the Red Wings. And Mark Parrish looks way improved from last season. Don't be surprised if we give the Flyers a serious run for their money in the Atlantic.' Watching Dansby exit The Astral Plane with a 'Forgotten Realms' interactive atlas CD-ROM under his arm, Moreland questioned the science-fiction fan's enjoyment of role-playing games. 'What is that all about? Imaginary elves and shit running around doing imaginary things and winning imaginary gold?' Moreland asked. 'I mean, I could see playing D&D when you're 12 years old, but this guy's got to be at least 25. It's pathetic.' As of press time, Moreland's online ESPN.com fantasy-football team, DaJerseyJintz, was 4-1. Dansby said he is unfazed by the contempt in which he is held by sports fans. 'Like I care what some big, fat, stupid sports fan thinks of me,' said Dansby, watching Moreland exit the mall, Jason Sehorn jersey in tow. 'I bet the last book that guy read was called The Michael Jordan Story or something. Quite a literary masterwork, I'm sure.' Dansby added that he is nearly finished with Timothy Zahn's Dark Force Rising, which he praised as being 'in the 80th percentile of Star Wars novels.'

3	Audience Brain Waves Are Being Used to Better Predict YOUHeather Callaghan Building on that discovery, researchers are testing brainwaves to forecast public response to television programming. Of course, this has questionable implications. And, now, it only takes a few people to accurately predict the mindset via brainwaves of the masses. Is that how far the culturing of culture has come along? Having a reliable method to forecast response from the general population harnesses incredible power to the media, marketing and public relations industries. If a new study done at the City College of New York (CCNY) in partnership with Georgia Tech is accurate, only a few individuals are needed to provide strong predictors that represent the masses. The authors analyzed the brainwaves of 16 people as they watched mainstream television content. Researchers were able to accurately predict the preferences of large TV audiences, up to 90 percent in the case of Super Bowl commercials. The findings appear in a paper entitled Audience Preferences Are Predicted by Temporal Reliability of Neural Processing, which was just published in the latest edition of Nature Communications. Why use various brain graphs to discover this instead of other methods like questionnaires? Lead author, Jacek Dmochowski said: Alternative methods such as self-reports are fraught with problems as people conform their responses to their own values and expectations. He adds: Our findings show that these immediate responses are in fact closely tied to the subsequent behavior of the general population. It kind of sounds like the viewers do not realize the messages they are getting nor their perceived responses. Senior author Lucas Parra, Herbert Kayser Professor of Biomedical Engineering at CCNY explains the previous researcher on the synched minds of movie goers: When two people watch a video, their brains respond similarly but only if the video is engaging. Popular shows and commercials draw our attention and make our brainwaves very reliable; the audience is literally in-sync. Study participants watched scenes from The Walking Dead TV show and several commercials from the 2012 and 2013 Super Bowls. EEG electrodes were placed on their heads to capture brain activity. The reliability of the recorded neural activity was then compared to audience reactions in the general population using publicly available social media data provided by the Harmony Institute and ratings from USA Todays Super Bowl Ad Meter. Para says: Brain activity among our participants watching The Walking Dead predicted 40 percent of the associated Twitter traffic. When brainwaves were in agreement, the number of tweets tended to increase. Brainwaves also predicted 60 percent of the Nielsen ratings that measure the size of a TV audience. Enmeshed Masses The study was even more accurate (90 percent) when comparing preferences for Super Bowl ads. For instance, researchers saw very similar brainwaves from their participants as they watched a 2012 Budweiser commercial that featured a beer-fetching dog. The general public voted the ad as their second favorite that year. The study found little agreement in the brain activity among participants when watching a GoDaddy commercial featuring a kissing couple. It was among the worst rated ads in 2012. Lovely Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), they found evidence that brainwaves for engaging ads could be driven by blood-oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) activity in visual, auditory and attention brain areas. Matthew Bezdek of Georgia Tech said: Interesting ads may draw our attention and cause deeper sensory processing of the content. The main, openly stated applications are marketing and film, and perhaps to predict the effectiveness of online educational videos by measuring how engaging they are. However, in their summary, they explain more The one and the many are synthesized From their summary: Our findings suggest that stimuli which we judge favourably may be those to which our brains respond in a stereotypical manner shared by our peers. Predicting the behaviour of large groups is inherent to such diverse processes as forecasting election results, anticipating the reception to upcoming films, and foreseeing the effects of changes to laws or policies. [] Here we ask whether the neural activity of multiple individuals may collectively predict the behaviour of large groups. Indeed. Its not really about individual interest but predicting mass behavior that already appears to be highly linked up. An openly-voiced study like this is another example of the importance in guarding the brain and heart above all else. Clearly, the mind has no firewall.

'He actually talks about you all the time with his coworkers and the friends he plays golf with on Sundays,' the report reads in part, stating that while it may seem as if he has little interest in your career, your dad really respects how hard you've workedregardless of the fact that every time you see him he manages to make a sarcastic little comment about your profession while going out of his way to praise your sister. 'You should have seen the smile on his face when he found out you were coming home for Fourth of July weekend.' The report concluded that it's just your dad's way, and the sooner you accept it and understand that you will never be able to change him, the happier you'll be. 
3	Guantanamo Force-Feeding Constitutes TortureStephen Lendman Force-feeding increases unconscionable pain and suffering. Doing so violates core rule of law principles. Around 130 of 166 Guantanamo detainees refuse food. Theyre hunger striking for justice. They began in February. They passed 100 days. Theyd rather die than endure injustice. Their only escape route is death. Pentagon officials at first maintained silence. Belatedly they admitted whats well-known. They consistently downplayed it. Now they admit 102 detainees refuse food. At least 130 are involved. Obama dismissively said nothing. His belated acknowledgement reflected disdain for their pain and suffering. Thirty or more hunger strikers are being force-fed. Doing so constitutes torture. A previous article explained. Detainees are restrained in chairs. Theyre called padded cells on wheels. Tubes are forced painfully through their noses and throats to their stomachs. Its done abrasively. It draws blood. Liquid nutrients are pumped into their stomachs. Doing so causes excruciating pain. No sedatives or anesthesia are given. Men are kept strapped under restraints up to two hours. Its done to prevent purging. The procedures repeated twice daily. Tubes are reused. Theyre covered in blood and stomach bile. Reportedly theyre passed from one inmate to another. Proper sanitation is non-existent. One detainee called the procedure torture, torture, torture. The World Medical Association says force-feeding violates fundamental medical ethics. When accompanied by threats, coercion, force, and use of physical restraints, (its) considered inhuman and degrading treatment. Al Jazeera obtained a 30-page Pentagon document. Its dated March 5, 2013. Its titled Standard Operating Procedure (SOP): Medical Management of Detainees on Hunger Strike. It explains updated force-feeding methods. Medical personnel are involved. Doing so violates core ethical standards and guidelines. Strikers are shackled in restraint chairs. Theyre held up to two hours. Masks cover their mouths. Tubes 61cm or longer snake through their nose and throat to their stomachs. The procedure continues until a chest x-ray or test dose of water confirms its properly in place. The process is excruciatingly painful. When feeding ends, detainees are placed in dry cells. No running waters permitted. Guards observe them up to an hour. They do so for any indications of vomiting or attempts to induce vomiting. If it occurs, the detainees returned to a restraint chair. The process repeats. The updated SOP replaces 2003 policy. In 2005, it was revised. With redactions, it was declassified. On March 5, the new unredacted policy took effect. It was one month after hunger striking began. It was implemented to handle mass striking. According to the Pentagons document: Just as battlefield tactics must change throughout the course of a conflict, the medical responses to GTMO detainees who hunger strike has evolved with time. A mass hunger strike was successfully dealt with in (2005) by utilizing procedures adopted from the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the approach delineated in this SOP. However, the composition of the detainee population, camp infrastructure, and policies has all undergone significant change since the initial version of this SOP. Much of the original instruction has been retained in the form of enclosures. In the event of a mass hunger strike, these enclosures can be utilized as they have proven efficacy under mass hunger strike conditions. (I)n the event of a mass hunger strike, isolating hunger striking patients from each other is vital to prevent them from achieving solidarity. On April 13, guards implemented a pre-dawn raid. Over 100 prisoners were isolated. Doing so tried to break their morale. It didnt work. Leonard Rubensteins a human rights and medical ethics advocate lawyer. Hes a Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School for Public Health visiting scholar. He serves at its Center for Public Health and Human Rights and Center for a Livable Future. He reviewed the Pentagon document. He called it troubling. It prohibits medical professionals from acting responsibly. Theyre adjuncts of the security apparatus. Its very frightening, he said. The clinical judgment of a doctor or a nurse is basically trumped by this policy and protocol. Doctors are not acting with (ethical) professional medical independence. Its clear that, notwithstanding references to preservation of detainee health in the policy, the first interest is in ending the protests. Detainee needs and welfare arent addressed. Ways to treat mental health problems are ignored. Guantanamos commander alone decides whos force-fed. Medical personnel have no say. Theyre told to follow orders. According to the document: In the event a detainee refrains from eating or drinking to the point where it is determined by the medical assessment that continued fasting will result in a threat to life or seriously jeopardize health, and involuntary feeding is required, no direct action will be taken without the knowledge and written approval of the Commander. With or without consent, medical procedures that are indicated to preserve health and life shall be implemented. According to the Constitution Projects Task Force on Detainee Treatment: (A)t least some federal prisons handle hunger strikes very differently, and far less coercively, than at Guantanamo. The written federal guidelines for force-feeding make no mention of restraints, and include several safeguards that are not in place in Guantanamo. Prison guidelines require the warden to notify a sentencing judge of involuntary feeding, with an explanation of the background of and reasons for involuntary feeding, as well as videotaping of force-feeding. BOP requires that treatment is to be given in accordance with accepted medical practice. It requires an individualized assessment of the patients situation that appears to be absent at Guantanamo. It also requires individualized counseling of the detainee. (T)he BOPs written policy on the use of restraints also conflicts with the restraint-chair protocol at Guantanamo. Federal prisons are known to use restraint chairs for inmates who are physically dangerous to themselves, other inmates, or guards but at most federal prisons, the chairs are apparently not used for forced feeding. At times, several attempts are needed to assure correct force-feeding tube placement. Once down a detainees throat, breathing difficulties may occur. Prisoners get a choice at mealtime. Eat a hot meal, drink the nutrient, or receive an enteral feed. On May 4,The Lancet headlined Guantanamo: hunger strikes and a doctors duty, saying: It cant go on like this is a common response to a desperate situation: yet too often it can, and it does. Military doctors asked to force-feed individuals on hunger strike will experience divided loyalties. The demands of the state may clash with the politically neutral opinion of the international medical community. (F)orce-feed(ing) infringes the principle of patient autonomy. Standards of humanity and dignity are violated. On April 24, American Medical Association (AMA) president Jeremy Lazarus wrote Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. He stated AMAs longstanding position. Physician participation in force-feeding violates core medical professional ethics. Every competent patient has the right to refuse medical intervention, including life-sustaining interventions, he stressed. We urge you to ensure that this matter receives prompt and thorough attention and to address any situation in which a physician may be asked to violate the ethical standards of his or her profession. Physicians for Human Rights senior medical advisor Vincent Iacopino has extensive knowledge of Guantanamo detainees abuse. He examined them. He testified in court on their behalf. Hunger strikes shouldnt be confused with the intent to commit suicide, he said. Hunger strikes are a form of protest, an attempt to shame detainee authorities into action by individuals who are desperate to have some control over their lives. Confrontational responses fuel protests, he added. Theres no therapeutic relationships between (detainees) and medical personnel and doctors. Mitigating hunger strikes requires having a clinician who will respect your autonomy. That doesnt exist at Guantanamo. The Center for Constitutional Rights applauded the AMAs condemnation. In response, Executive Director Vincent Warren said: In reaffirming its long-standing opposition to force feeding Guantanamo prisoners, the countrys most prominent medical association has delivered a stinging rebuke to the Obama administrations wholly inadequate response to the hunger strike. The AMAs condemnation comes on the heels of reports that the Department of Defense has ordered additional military doctors to report to Guantanamo to deal with the hunger strike presumably to facilitate a practice that the AMA considers contrary to established medical ethical standards. The administration cannot force feed its way out of this growing medical emergency. The only true solution is to resume transfers of prisoners and close Guantanamo. Uncharged detainees should be freed. They should have been long ago. They never should have been detained and tortured in the first place. Appalling abuses continue. Doing so violates core international, constitutional, and US statute provisions. Obama bears full responsibility. The ACLU condemned force-feeding. It called doing so a brutal, degrading experience. Of course, the military should be doing far more than ending cruel, inhuman, and degrading force-feeding and any abuse of the men. It should be working diligently and urgently to release Guantanamo prisoners, starting with the 86 men already long cleared to leave the prison. The ACLU will continue to press on all these matters until the rule of law is restored and ill-treatment in Guantanamo ends. On May 13, 19 organizations wrote Chuck Hagel. They included: The letter states: We write to request that you intervene to end the force-feeding of competent hunger-striking prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, which constitutes cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment. We also urge you to investigate and address recent allegations of the use of excessive force, isolation, temperature manipulation, and forced sleeplessness in Guantanamo, which could also constitute cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment, and which raise even greater concerns if applied in combination with force-feeding. At least 100 of the 166 men currently held at Guantanamo are on hunger strike, including many who have long been approved for release from the prison. By all accounts, the root cause of the hunger strike is the prisoners belief that they will be indefinitely imprisoned and likely die in Guantanamo. At the most recent count, 29 of the men are being force-fed. The force-feeding process is inherently cruel, inhuman, and degrading. The prisoner is strapped into a chair with restraints on his legs, arms, body, and sometimes head, immobilizing him. A tube is inserted up his nostril, and snaked down his throat into his stomach. A liquid nutritional supplement is then forced down the tube. The prisoner is restrained in the chair for upwards of two hours to prevent him from vomiting. As Guantanamo hunger-striker Samir Naji al Hasan Moqbel explained recently: I cant describe how painful it is to be force-fed this way. As it was thrust in, it made me feel like throwing up. I wanted to vomit, but I couldnt. There was agony in my chest, throat and stomach. I had never experienced such pain before. Debilitating risks of force-feeding include major infections, pneumonia, collapsed lungs, heart failure, post-traumatic stress disorder and other psychological trauma. Because of force-feedings invasive nature, the World Medical Association (WMA), the preeminent international organization in the field of medical ethics and practice, has repeatedly condemned force-feeding of competent prisoners. The WMAs Tokyo Declaration, adopted in 1975, states that doctors shall respect a competent prisoners right to refuse artificial feeding. And, in its Declaration of Malta on Hunger Strikers, adopted in 1991 and revised in 2006 in large part due to developments in Guantanamo, the WMA states that (f)orcible feeding is never ethically acceptable. Even if intended to benefit, feeding accompanied by threats, coercion, force or use of physical restraints is a form of inhuman and degrading treatment. The American Medical Association, a member of the WMA, has endorsed these unequivocal principles, as evidenced by its April 25, 2013 letter to you. The International Committee of the Red Cross has similarly stated: The ICRC is opposed to forced feeding or forced treatment; it is essential that the detainees choices be respected and their human dignity preserved. Force-feeding as used in Guantanamo violates Common Article 3 of the four Geneva Conventions of 1949, which bar cruel, humiliating and degrading treatment. It also could violate the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005, which prohibits the cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment of prisoners regardless of nationality or physical location. Indeed, a 2006 joint report submitted by five independent human rights experts of the United Nations Human Rights Council (formerly the UN Commission on Human Rights) found that the method of force-feeding then used in Guantanamo, and which appears to remain in effect today, amounted to torture as defined in Article 1 of the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, which the United States ratified in 1994. The report also asserted that doctors and other health professionals authorizing and participating in force-feeding prisoners were violating the right to health and other human rights, including those guaranteed by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which the United States ratified in 1992. Those concerns were reiterated this month by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, and three UN Special Rapporteurs. In light of the above, we urgently request that you order the immediate and permanent cessation of all force-feeding of Guantanamo prisoners who are competent and capable of forming a rational judgment as to the consequences of refusing food. We request that you allow independent medical professionals to review and monitor the status of hunger-striking prisoners in a manner consistent with international ethical standards. We also request that you investigate and rectify any abusive conditions and treatment in addition to force-feeding. Obama promised to close Guantanamo. Hes done nothing to do so. No closure plan exists. Detainees are held indefinitely. Most or perhaps all committed no crimes. Theyre lawlessly held. Their only escape route is death. Obama bears full responsibility. Hes unaccountable. Hes guilty of multiple crimes of war and against humanity. Justice remains denied.

2	Obama Closing Guantanamo Bay Without Congress Through Executive Order Obama has decided to make good on his promise to close Guantanamo Bay, regardless of the consequences. His plan is to seek Congress approval by the end of his term. However, in all likelihood, Congress will not approve of his plan. The White House staff was interviewed on the rumors of this happening. He feels an obligation to the next president. He will fix this so that they dont have to be confronted with the same set of challenges, McDonough said. Obama pledged 7 years ago that he would close Guantanamo Bay. Ever since, he has been taking small steps closer by releasing detainees. As of today, there are only 104 left in the prison. Obama preaches that the prison is too costly, and makes America look bad. But whats really more important? Keeping America safe from known terrorists, or a relatively small financial hit? Obama has completely lost his mind, and if he succeeds in closing down Gitmo, America has a bad future in store for itself. Do you think Congress should ban together to prevent the closing of Gitmo? 
2	Obama Goes After Senator Who Takes THIS Massive Stand Against Him According to recent reports, Democratic leaders in the White House are pushing President Barack Obama to change his strategies with ISIS. Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut reportedly sent a letter to Senators claiming that we must take a vote for a war to be started against ISIS, but that Congress is failing to do so. Murphy sits on the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee on Near East, South Asia, Central Asia, and Counterterrorism. Weve taken dozens of votes to repeal Obamacare; weve held hours upon hours of hearings and multiple special investigations on Benghazi; weve devoted days of Senate floor time to blocking new administration rules on clean water and power, Murphy wrote. That is the majoritys prerogative, but this Congress has so far failed to take a single cote on the war that is currently being fought against ISIS, or to truly debate how we confront this evil, he continued. Congress must declare war against ISIS, Murphy concluded. What do you think? Do you support Murphys push for action? 
1	Residents of Worcester's Grafton Hill neighborhood acknowledged Monday they would not necessarily mind a Panera Bread franchise coming in and wiping out Callahan's, a charming, family-run bakery that has been a fixture of their community since 1964. According to locals, the national restaurant chain would be just the thing to run the mom-and-pop establishment out of business, replacing Callahan's genuinely warm, welcoming atmosphere with the kind of impersonal, hassle-free caf experience they have long desired. 'Callahan's really is lovely and all, but every time I'm in there I get roped into a 10-minute conversation about what's going on in the neighborhood, or the history of some recipe that's been in their family for generations,' said patron Catherine New, 33, who told reporters the friendly older couple who owns the shop is always there, apparently working from open to close every single day. 'It would be such a relief to walk in somewhere and have some disinterested college-age kid take my order without even making eye contact.' Cold, impersonal, sterile: This is what people want. 'They're nice at Callahan's, but they don't seem to get that this is only a business transaction,' New continued. 'I just want a cup of coffee. We're not friends.' A recent survey found that more than half of all Grafton Hill residents admitted they routinely drive to a Panera location in a neighboring town instead of simply walking down the block to Callahan's, 72 percent claimed they would prefer being alerted of their order's completion by a vibrating pager than by that one kind-faced woman who calls everyone 'sweetheart,' and four out of five said they 'didn't give a shit' whether the ingredients in their panini were locally sourced. Additionally, respondents unanimously agreed that, deep down, they didn't really care whether their food was prepared in a microwave or a 100-year-old brick oven so long as they could get their meal quickly, eat it in peace, and get on with their day. 'I don't want them remembering what I had yesterdayI don't want them to remember me at all,' 46-year-old Colin Cady said. 'Just give me the goddamn half-sandwich-and-cup-of-soup special and don't refer to it as 'the usual.' No good-natured joking around, no asking how my kids are doing, no offering me a complimentary jar of homemade fruit preservesnone of that shit.' Many customers derided the artisanal bakery's half dozen small wooden tables hand-built by the owner's father, stating they'd give anything to sit in a real fucking booth for a change, preferably as far away from other patrons as possible. Most also agreed the shop's mismatched glasses and mugs were 'just plain awful,' stating they would much prefer generic cardboard beverage cups with regular plastic lids so they could just grab their drink and get the fuck out of there. 'I don't want to think about how someone at Callahan's woke up at 3 a.m. to make all the pastries from scratch,' said April Frye, 53, claiming the owners' heartbreakingly sincere utterances of 'thank you' and 'please come again' never fail to make her feel guilty. 'I'd like to be able to buy a cappuccino and not have to worry about whether I'm being grateful enough for all the hard work they obviously put into it. You have no idea how many unwanted loaves of bread I've bought simply because I felt compelled to support a local business.' Added Frye, 'God, I hope a Panera comes in and absolutely buries that quaint little place.' While most residents echoed Frye's sentiments, not everyone in the neighborhood agreed the existing establishment could be so easily unseated by a corporate rival. 'We've been a part of the community for decades, so we're not too worried about competition,' said owner Alfred Callahan, Jr., 66, explaining he was proud to have built personal relationships with his patrons over the years. 'We may not be too fancy, but everything we make here is traditionally prepared, and we like to think of our customers as part of the Callahan family.' 'We truly care about everyone who walks through that door,' Callahan added. 'That's what sets us apart.' 
1	Chuckling and shaking their heads as they described their annual family gift exchange to reporters, Koch Industries executives Charles and David Koch confirmed Wednesday they had unwittingly gotten each other the same election for Christmas this year. The two brothers and energy industry magnates, who for decades have gathered to share a holiday meal and open presents next to the Christmas tree in Charles Wichita home, admitted they were a bit embarrassed to learn they had each given the other U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldins congressional seat, but said they ultimately shrugged off the coincidence. Now that I think about it, I cant believe this has never happened before. It was probably bound to sooner or later. I guess we just know each other too well! When we realized we both bought New Yorks 1st District, we just looked at each other and laughed, said Charles Koch, who acknowledged that he and David have pretty similar tastes. Now that I think about it, I cant believe this has never happened before. It was probably bound to sooner or later. I guess we just know each other too well! At least its something we can enjoy using together, he added. David Koch explained that he had hoped the present would be a special surprise for Charles, noting that he had taken care to be discreet by telling his brother he was just heading out to another fundraiser at Lincoln Center when he was in fact on his way to go purchase the outcome of the election in the eastern Long Island congressional district. In addition, he was reportedly careful not to take any calls from the Zeldin 2016 campaign team while he and Charles were out together at dinner, the ballet, or Cato Institute symposiums. A few months ago, we were watching the news, and when one of the pundits on TV mentioned Zeldins reelection bid, Charles whole face just lit up, said David Koch, who later admitted he had purchased the district partly because he knew he would want to borrow it for himself from time to time. Well, it seems like my brother and I both had the same idea about limiting the petroleum industrys liability for toxic spills and ensuring taxpayers shoulder the majority of cleanup costs. Thats just so us, you know? After he got me Wisconsins right-to-work bill last year, I knew I had to get him something really good this Christmas, David added. The brothers said they were relieved to have spent the same amount on their gifts, having both made the maximum $2,700 in direct donations to the incumbent representatives campaign and, through their super PAC Freedom Partners Action Fund, earmarked $2 million to pay for attack ads and mailers to smear Zeldins challenger in the key swing district. We went in together on Scott Walker a few months back, which was a real letdown, so I wanted to get David something he could really get some use out of, said Charles Koch, recalling how disappointed his brother had been when the former presidential candidate had stopped working. We were so excited when we first got Walker, but he turned out to be defective. It would have cost way too much to fix him. According to reports, the brothers agreed they would avoid making the same mistake next Christmas by simply giving each other a $25 million gift card that could be spent at any lobbying firm in the United States. 
3	Never Ending Loads of Disinformation From the Liars at Tokyo Electric Power CompanyRichard Wilcox Firstly, there is the matter of the Unit 4 spent fuel pool, that many experts claim could collapse in a major earthquake leading to massive releases of radiation. When I sent the story written by Japanese Diplomat, Akio Matsumura, to a Japanese professor I know whose focus is international relations, the tenure-track professor dismissed it as tabloid journalism. Talk about a nation with its focus on its own navel, they dont even know what danger they are in despite the 3/11 catastrophe. Can you imagine what respectable people who attend conferences and wear suits and ties would have said of someone like me if I went on a campaign to alert people of the disaster that awaited Japan pre-March 2011? I would have been completely ignored or laughed at as a Cassandra and conspiracy nut! So were many sincere anti-nuclear activists at the Citizens Nuclear Information Center in Tokyo. Now we have to attend to the matter of Tepcos arrogant stupidity, snideness and snottiness. On April 26, 2012, Tepco attempted to refute claims by Arnie Gunderson and other nuclear experts that the Unit 4 fuel pool building was tilting. Tepco stated that [t]he No. 4 reactor building is not tilted and it, including the storage pool, will not be destroyed by a quake (1). Yet, very recently we learned from NHK and Tepco itself that the Unit 4 building is less stable than previously thought. NHK, the conservative government-run news station reports of Tilted walls found at Fukushima No.4 reactor which is different than the entire building being tilted, but does indicate serious problems (2). There is more evidence of contradictions from Tepco (i.e., the Nuclear Village), who appear to run the Japanese government, based on statements made by Tepco in a recent news report, versus what the government has stated regarding the speed to which Tepco will remove the fuel rods from the badly damaged Unit 4 building. Perhaps international pressure along with vociferous anti-nuclear domestic protests are working to some extent, given the following report: Workers at the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant will begin removing fuel rods from a damaged reactors a year ahead of schedule, a government minister said June 21, a move to address concerns about the risk of a new quake that could cause a further accident and scatter more radioactive debris. We would like to start taking out undamaged fuel this year. Preparation is now under way, Japans nuclear crisis minister, Goshi Hosono, told Reuters in an interview (6). However, in the recent news report aired on June 25, 2012, by ABC Australia (7), we learn from the Tepco spokesman that they have no plans to remove the fuel rods until 2013. Perhaps the word did not get out, or there is a disconnect between what the government is trying to promote versus what Tepco is deciding to do. Its another case of the Keystone Kops (Tepco) playing a game of tiddlywinks with the Larry, Curly and Moe Outfit (Japan Government). It is worth noting that while the ABC Australia reporters did an excellent job ofhighlighting the dangers of the Unit 4 spent fuel pool issue, Australia itself is a major exporter of uranium to Japan and part of the global nuclear mafia which benefits from the incredibly expensive and fantastically dangerous nuclear energy scam (8). In another matter of Tepcos bad behavior we learn that just as in the case of the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, when BP was actually put in charge of the disaster (i.e., the arsonist investigating the fire), so too has Tepco taken over jurisdiction of Japanese waters: Many Japanese are wary of the governments assurances about test results, and Tokyo Electric has made people more suspicious by refusing to let independent experts survey waters inside the roughly 12-mile exclusion zone around the plant. I dont think anyone now would lie about radiation levels, but in the end, its the consumer who will decide, said Yoshiaki Saito, a wholesaler who handles tuna, crab and other seafood at the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo. If nothing else, fish caught near Fukushima would probably fetch far lower prices (9). Whether or not Fukushima sea food [is] safe for eating or not, (10), this government survey of sea water near the TEPCO Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant shows very low levels of radiation detected. Apparently the charts convey a contradictory reading of ND meaning not detectable; while at the same time recording levels of 1.3 becquerals of cesium 134 per liter of sea water (11). Richard Wilcox has a Ph.D. in Environmental Studies from a social science, holistic perspective. He teaches part time at a number of universities in the Tokyo, Japan area.

2	Obama Just Got Received Some Horrible News... This Is Great After the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, a political fight quickly erupted about who should fill the vacant seat. Of course, President Obama was quick to jump on the opportunity, claiming that he would fulfill his constitutional responsibility to nominate a replacement. Contrastingly, Senate Republicans vowed to block any nominee the president puts forward. As to be expected, Democrats were not happy with that approacheven though weve seen similar incidents in the past. According to The Washington Post, a Senate Resolution drawn up by Democrats in 1960 makes it difficult for todays Democrats to demand for Republicans to approve any liberal nominee put forward by Obama. S. Res 334 claims that it was the sense of the Senate that the president should not make recess appointments to the Supreme Court, except to prevent or end a breakdown in the administration of the Courts business. This resolution established an unwritten rule that presidents shouldnt nominate judges to the court in their final year, except in dire circumstances. What do you think? Do you support Senate Republicans blocking Obama from putting forward a liberal justice? 
2	Dallas Police Do The Unthinkable: Launch $550 Million Lawsuit Against Black Lives Matter... This Is Retribution For a year now, American law enforcement has had to deal with the anger and divisiveness of Black Lives Matter. Now, the Dallas Police have decided to take a stand against those putting a target on the back of officers. This year, Patrick Zamarippa was murdered during the Dallas shooting. Now, his father is suing the Black Lives Matter organization for $550 million, holding them responsible for the tragedy. While Defendant Black Lives Matter claims to combat anti-black racism, the movement has in fact incited and committed further violence, severe bodily injury and death against police officers of all races and ethnicities, the lawsuit begins. Black Lives Matter is, in fact, a violent and revolutionary criminal gang. The lawsuit then continues with a heartbreaking plea for justice. I want justice for my son, Enrique Zamaripp writes. He protected his country, and he protected everybody. And he gave his life up doing that. What do you think? Do Black Lives Matter activists need to be held accountable for their actions? 
2	Michael Moore Reveals His Plans To Impeach Trump... This Is Bad Just a few days after Donald Trump was named our countrys president-elect, Michael Moore has started issuing proposals for impeachment proceedings. In a heated Facebook rant, Moore gave liberals detailed instructions on how to regain control of the United States. One of the first steps was impeaching Trump. Just as the Republicans were already planning to do with President Hillary from Day One, we must organize the apparatus that will bring charges against him when he violates his oath and breaks the lawand then we must remove him from office, Moore began. He then issued a four-point plan for reforming the elections system in the favor of Democrats: 1. Eliminate the Electoral College popular vote only. 2. Paper ballots only no electronic voting. 3. Election Day must be made a holiday for all or held on a weekend so more people vote. 4. All citizens, regardless of any run-ins with the criminal justice system, must have the right to vote. 
2	Gay Activists Put Up Version Of Iwo Jima Photo So Jennifer Aniston Does Something UNTHINKABLE During World War II, there were several pivotal battles that shaped the course of history. The Battle of Iwo Jima was one of those, when U.S. Marines won the weeks-long assault to capture a key spot in the Pacific Island. Although the battle cost the lives of nearly 6,000 Marines and Navy men and injuries of 17,000 more, the U.S. walked away victorious. The accomplishment resulted in the iconic raising of the American flag on Mt. Suribachi. Since that time, there has been a recreation of that photo for the gay community which has been called tasteless, offensive, and disrespectful. Perhaps the most vocal on the subject was a Facebook account claiming to be Jennifer Aniston, although that has not been verified. The photograph was posted on the account with the message below: Now I have nothing against people who are into same sex partnerships. However what I do have a problem with is this F**KING picture. How dare you compare your political struggle to what the Marines Navy Corpsman went through on Iwo Jima. I get the whole meaning of you winning the Uphill Battle but this is tasteless, offensive, and disrespectful to those who gave their lives on that hill. You should be ashamed of yourselves for being hypocritical of those you claim offend your flag. What do you think? Do you agree that the image is blatantly disrespectful? 
1	The second law of thermodynamics, a fundamental scientific principle stating that entropy increases over time as organized forms decay into greater states of randomness, has come under fire from conservative Christian groups, who are demanding that the law be repealed. Conservative Christians protest the second law of thermodynamics on the steps of the Kansas Capitol. 'What do these scientists want us teaching our children? That the universe will continue to expand until it reaches eventual heat death?' asked Christian Coalition president Ralph Reed, speaking at a rally protesting a recent Kansas Board Of Education decision upholding the law. 'That's hardly an optimistic view of a world the Lord created for mankind. The American people are sending a strong message here: We don't like the implications of this law, and we will not rest until it has been reversed in the courts.' The controversial law of nature, which asserts that matter continually breaks down as disorder increases and heat is lost, has long been decried by Christian fundamentalists as running counter to their religion's doctrine of Divine grace and eternal salvation. 'Why can't disorder decrease over time instead of everything decaying?' asked Jim Muldoon of Emporia, KS. 'Is that too much to ask? This is our children's future we're talking about.' 'I wouldn't want my child growing up in a world headed for total heat death and dissolution into a vacuum,' said Kansas state senator Will Blanchard (R-Hutchinson). 'No decent parent would want that.' Calling the second law of thermodynamics 'a deeply disturbing scientific principle that threatens our children's understanding of God's universe as a benevolent and loving place,' Blanchard is spearheading a nationwide grassroots campaign to have the law removed from high-school physics textbooks. The plan has already met with significant support in the state legislatures of Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee, Georgia, and Mississippi. 'My daughter's schoolbooks tell her that we live in a world ruled by disorder,' said Knox Heflin, one of several dozen fundamentalists who spoke out against the teaching of the law at a Statesboro (GA) School Board hearing. 'That's a direct contradiction of what it says in the Bible, about how everything is going to get better, and we'll all live happily up in heaven after the End Times.' Christian Coalition president Ralph Reed holds a textbook he claims is being used to teach physics in schools. 'The only 'heat death' Jesus ever mentioned is the one that sinners will suffer for all eternity in the Lake of Fire,' said Indianola (MS) School Board president Bernice McCallum. 'Now more than ever, we need to hear what the Bible has to say about our public schools' physical-science curricula.' Leading physicists contend that, as the foundation of much of our current scientific understanding, a reversal of the second law of thermodynamics would have massive ramifications on the future of both our nation and the universe itself. 'Were the second law to be repealed, random particles would collect and organize themselves instead of dissipating, which could affect such basic processes as combustion, digestion, evaporation, convectionthat sort of thing,' Columbia University superstring theorist Dr. Brian Greene said. 'There wouldn't be much sunlight, either, because all stars, including our sun, would be collecting photons from surrounding space instead of emitting solar radiation. Oh, and the universe would begin to contract rather than expand, which could possibly turn back the flow of time itself, sending our cosmos spiraling inward toward a reverse Big Bang, a sort of 'Big Crunch,' if you will.' 'In light of all this,' Greene continued, 'I would sincerely hope that our nation's legislators think long and hard before making any decisions to amend or repeal this law.' Despite such warnings, the grassroots movement to eliminate the second law of thermodynamics appears to be gathering strength. 'This is America,' said Duane Collins, a Gatlinburg, TN, distillery operator and father of five. 'And in this country, we have the God-given right to change laws we don't think are Christian. We are united in our demands that the second law of thermodynamics be repealed, and our voice will be heard no matter what. That's just a plain fact, and nothing anybody says can ever change it.' 
3	Is 2013 the Real 2012?Janet C. Phelan Of course. She would be raptured up and I, a hardcore One God believer, would be left behind. How sweet of her to make preparations for the damned. But as the projected date for the rapture came and went and disappointed, my friend abandoned her newfound religion. Not so fast for the 2012-ers, however. The end of the world is still scheduled for December 21, 2012 according to those who buy into the Mayan prophecies, Planet X, Niburu, exponential solar flares did I miss anything? The scenarios are stunning tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, as the world comes crashing down around us.And should we awaken the morning of December 22 to find ourselves still alive, the ratcheting up of doomsday prophecies will deflate like a spent balloon. And we just may find ourselves sucker-punched. But, lurking right under our noses is the specter of what may occur in 2013. While another war in the Middle East and a global pandemic might pale in comparison with the cataclysmic changes promised by the 2012-ers, the result might be very close to the same thing. We may not see the hand of God reach down and pluck His faithful from this troubled planet; we may not see benign aliens beam themselves down into our living rooms while the walls are imploding around us; but the effect of what the governments of the world have cooked up may result in a similar upheaval. And what would be the connection between a global pandemic and those attending to biological weapons, like Graham, Talent and Gerstein? A parallel thread runs through this last decade, right alongside the events of 9/11 and the fallout from that event. The parallel thread pertains to the anthrax attacks, which took place only one week later. Our government responded to the attacks of 9/11 with a Draconian shift towards a top-heavy surveillance society and a concomitant stripping of our civil liberties, all of which has made us increasingly vulnerable to government intrusion and attack. Emphasis on the word attack. The response to the anthrax mailings was to invest billions of dollars in a biological warfare program for which there is no transparency and no public oversight. Since September of 2001, the U.S. government has pumped over 60 billion dollars into what it euphemistically terms biodefense. Lets take a moment to consider what has gone into that program and what has come out the other end. The concept of dual use is the first thing we must consider in order to understand what constitutes biodefense. To put it simply, dual use means that you first have to create the bug in order to find the cure. And our biodefense program is top heavy with bugs: ebola, marburg, anthrax; we got em and we are secretly working to cut and splice natural horrors into recombinant nightmares. And that brings us to the crux of the matter. What goes on in these biodefense labs are occluded by protestations of national security. The now defunct Sunshine Project, which was dedicated to working against the hostile use of biotechnology in the post-Cold War era, found that there was little if any oversight as to the types of research going on in these labs. In 2007, in a report (PDF)submitted to the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for the Hearing: Germs, Viruses, and Secrets: The Silent Proliferation of Bio-Laboratories in the United States, Sunshine Project Director Edward Hammond wrote the following: Our research indicates that in the vast majority of cases, it is not possible to verify that federally funded research is properly overseen at the local level, nor are the local committees that are charged with overseeing this research actually required to produce meeting minutes or annual reports that demonstrate that they have fulfilled this charge. Elsewhere in the report, he states that: lab expansion under the Bush administration has gone far beyond what is prudent and necessary, and without an adequate regulatory framework. In summary, Hammond blasted the biodefense industry and wrote: The proliferation of BSL-3 and BSL-4 laboratories across the United States since 2002 is greater than what our country needs and what its safety and security net can absorb. One-off NEPA processes are not sufficient or appropriate for this national-scale problem. Congress should impose a moratorium on federal funding for construction and commissioning of new biodefense labs. No new construction contracts should be issued, and no new labs should open until a comprehensive needs assessment is performed by the Government Accountability Office. One must ask what has come out of all these billions pumped into biodefense. The answer is clouded. We do know that we have not even produced a second generation anthrax vaccine. The first generation anthrax vaccine was reputed to cause Gulf War Syndrome and other ills. A scientist working in a BSL-3 in Arizona proudly informed me recently that he has developed a smallpox vaccine that also cures herpes. Awesome, broexcept we pretty much stomped out smallpox decades ago. When informed of the plans for a new biodefense campus at Ft. Detrick, Maryland, local activists became alarmed. Beth Willis, chairwoman of the Frederick County Containment Lab Advisory Committee and founder of Frederick Citizens for Biolab safety, has stated concerns that the plans for the Homeland Security lab at Detrick may be in violation of the Biological Weapons Convention. The DHS facility has opened but is not yet fully operational. While some of the Frederick activists have stopped short of declaring that the US has indeed launched an offensive biological weapons program, others are not so shy. Barry Kissin, an attorney and activist in Frederick has stated that the US is now illegally producing and stockpiling biological weapons. In order to produce biological weapons you must first have a lab, properly outfitted for the seriousness of bug you are working with. The labs are designated from BSL-1 through 5, with the 3s and 4s housing the most dangerous bugs known to man. The 5s purportedly deal with space bugs,although you wouldnt ever hear that from the CDC. That agency recently responded to a FOIA Request about the containment specifications for the 5s, stating that these records were not in their office. The CDC, which has the responsibility for tracking these bugs and registering the labs, is furiously shoveling out disinfo about the proliferations of 3s and 4s , tripping over itself in its eagerness to convince us that there are no more BSL-3 and 4 labs than before 9/11. In fact, the proliferation of these labs has been astounding. There are at least 1360 BSL-3s at this juncture, according to documents released by the DOJ and DOE (although the CDC insists the number is closer to 250). The CDC can only count as far as six when it comes to BSL-4s, although independent sources, such as the Federation for American Scientists, have come up with a head count of 13. Factor in the existence of secret labs on military bases, evidenced by the C.V.s of a couple of engineering firms which proudly state that they constructed BSL-4s on at least two bases, and the numbers of these labs, like Topsy, just keep on growing. If a global pandemic should hit in 2013, the chances are good that we will have caused it through the release of a biological weapon that has been cooked up in one of these labs. The similarities between what is now happening in the US and what happened in Germany in the thirties are perturbing: A false flag event used to topple our civil rights and a project to poison us with well, this time it wont be Zyklon- B. If our government learned anything from the mistakes made by Adolph Hitler, it was to keep appearances up. The public image maintained by the United States is that of freedom and justice. The image is straining due to the weight of evidence to the contrary, and the more evidence that accumulates the higher pitched are the denials being issued by the State. This reporter has been working off information provided by a high-level source back in 2003, when he confided that the State of Israel would be destroyed around the time that the bugs were selectively released. Israel, you say? You thought Israel was pulling the strings all along, did you? The government of Israel is just itching to get into this war with Iran, a war for which Israel is poorly prepared, defensively speaking. The much-touted Iron dome, Israels primary missile defense system, only works for incoming projectiles that are launched from nearby, like Gaza. Israel is largely unprotected from a fly-over. Factor in the state-of-the-art S-300 defense system possessed by Iran, and the odds that Israel will survive this war appear to be almost non-existent. Israel wiped off the map due to all the trouble fomented by the United States in the Middle East, culminating with a manufactured war with Iran and then a fatal bug, released through a selective mechanism such as the double line water system or the imposter pharmaceuticals and there you have the makings of another holocaust, all done under the mantle of plausible deniability. The US comes out squeaky clean, as it scampers to innoculate its citizenry with vaccinations which may serve to further reduce its population, while insisting that all along, we tried to support Israel. The hell, you say. The Zionists run the world! Well, yes and no. If the Zionists are the same guys, heavily anti-Semitic, (such as Mark Sykes and Otto Rand,) who set up the State of Israel in order to lure the worlds Jews into that alleged havena desert mirage so that Boom! Then yes, those Zionists may indeed run the world. And some of those Zionists are Jews. The Jews are ill informed as to the traitors within their midst; the same sort of saboteurs as Stephen Wise, head of the US Jewish Congress during WWII. Wise lobbied heavily to keep the Eastern European Jews from immigrating to the United States, thus ensuring they would be unable to escape Hitlers death machine. This reporter has had her own skirmishes with duplicitous leadership in the Jewish community, some of which are discussed in this article HERE. And please, dont get me wrong. The Jews are certainly not the only ones on the chopping block. When the dust clears, after the Big Bug strikes, we will likely see a world divested of much of its people of color. This is already happening. Africa is being emptied out by AIDS. Dark-skinned people are also now experiencing an epidemic of the silent killers of diabetes and hypertension, believed to be a product of a biological weapon leaked into food and attaching onto melanin (those with darker skin have more melanin). According to Dr. Trudy Gaillard, a researcher and with the Wexner Medical Center, about 12% of African Americans are now diagnosed with diabetes, three times as many as reported in 1980. The actual figures may be quite a bit higher. If you look at the statistics for African American women over the age of 55.25% are now diagnosed with diabetes. The numbers are also up for other dark-skinned groups, such as indigenous Mexicans and Pacific Islanders. Dr. Wouter Basson, who sailed through the South African Truth and Reconciliation hearings, was under scrutiny for his work with Project Coast, which was the apartheid governments biological weapons group. Basson was purportedly working on developing a blacks only bioweapons back in the 1980s. The epidemic of diabetes and hypertension among people of color began to surface shortly thereafter. Was Basson successful in creating this race specific bioweapons? He aint talking. And, as a writer-friend in Los Angeles once noted, Anyone who will sell out his brother for his own safety gets to sit at the table. The resonant and beautiful voices of resistance may also succumb to the selectively delivered Big Bug. How convenient and diabolical this plan is. Any problem person, any out-of-favor demographic group, and our beneficent government utilities and/or Big Pharma will provide the final solution. No recriminations and no onus of responsibility. No Nuremberg Trials, no Truth and Reconciliation Commission and no one pointing the finger at anything except a wayward microbe, an accident of nature. Just a whole lot of burying to do and the world made over, in a different image: Obedient and lily white. A Nazis wet dream. linkwithin_text=Related Articles:

Slit open this SOBs gut; nail his entrails to a post; beat him with a whip until he disembowels himself trying to escape. Everyone walk away and let him lay on the ground alone to bleed to death! He deserves no mercy!

2	Do You Remember This Little Girl Who Brought A Smile To America? Shes Back Shirley Temple was one of the biggestnot to mention youngestmovie icons in history. Her roles as the singing and dancing little girl are beloved, as is the little girl, once known as Americas sweetheart. But she acted and sang in an era in which movies were mostly be black and white. Technicolor debuted in 1939, and Shirley Temples success came just before that. But thanks to modern technology, some of her performances have been converted to color. Shirley Temple rose to fame at a harsh time in American history, right as the Great Depression. Her pink, dimpled cheeks and cute smile helped more than a few people forget about their financial troubles. Amid the deprivation and despair of the Great Depression, Shirley Temple radiated optimism and plucky good cheer that lifted the spirits of millions and shaped their collective character for generations to come, John F. Kasson, the author of The Little Girl Who Fought The Great Depression writes. Temple finally retired at the age of 22 in 1950, having had most of her success as a very young girl. She had more movies by the age of 22 than most actresses make in their lifetimes. She passed away in California in 2014, at the ripe old age of 86. She left a legacy of joy and happiness, and to many people she represented the American spirit. Watch the American icon sing When I grow up, and try not to tear up. 
1	Responding to the ongoing controversy regarding Irans nuclear program, brightly glowing President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced in his address to the U.N. General Assembly this morning that he himself was the nuclear weapon the Middle Eastern country has been building for the past year. Ladies and gentlemen, President Obama pledged yesterday to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, but in fact, the weapon in question has been standing before you this entire time, said Ahmadinejad, emitting a luminous green aura as stunned members in the General Assembly looked on. Contained within my body is enough chemical explosive and uranium-235 to level all of Manhattan. Do not attempt to run. Do not attempt to warn anyone. It is already too late. At press time, Ahmadinejad had reportedly shut his eyes as a loud automated countdown began to sound from his open mouth. 
3	ITHACA Report to the UN on US Human RightsITHACA submitted a report in 2010 to the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) concerning the human rights record of the United States and focused on two issues. The first issue concerned the revocation of rights taking place in state superior courts under the mantle of adult guardianships, impacting the elderly and disabled. This report for the 2015 UPR of the human rights record of the United States will focus on the progress of these two issues. ADULT GUARDIANSHIP In reply to the report generated by the UN working group at the first UPR, the United States promised to ratify the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In fact, Congress failed to ratify the CRPD. While those voting against ratification questionably deemed this to be a victory for national sovereignty, the fact remains that a portal for petition for redress against abuses against the vulnerable therefore closed. The abuses documented in our first report have continued and, in fact, continued without abating. Elders and disabled are still being put under guardianship, in the absence of due process, and their assets are still being plundered by guardians and conservators, with full complicity of sitting family/probate court judges. The elderly and disabled are still being blocked from family and friends and many are still dying under suspicious circumstances. The following examples are meant to be illustrative and are not all inclusive: In the intervening years since the first UPR, Alice Gore was placed under a guardianship and her teeth were mined for their gold content. Raymond Horspool was denied a new pacemaker by his guardian, and died a preventable death. The matter concerning allegations of wrongful death and plunder of his assets are now winding its way through the Riverside Superior Court system in California. We also see repeated instances where guardians are attempting to hide their wards from concerned family and friends, in absence of due process. Misha Bluvshteyns father, Leon Bluvshteyn, does not know if his son, under guardianship with the Los Angeles Public Guardian, is alive or dead. No court order has been issued blocking Bluvshteyn from his son yet the Los Angeles Public Guardian persists in hiding Misha from his family. Scott Christoffersen was effectively and illegally hidden from a concerned friend for over a year by the Los Angeles Department of Mental Health, even though he had signed a waiver of confidentiality so that the Department could communicate with said friend. When the plight of conservatee Charles Castle came to the attention of the press, his guardian proceeded to move him manically from facility to facility and from county to county, in an effort to conceal his whereabouts from interested parties. As a result, Castle was never served with the courts determination on his writ of habeas corpus. Due process violations plagued this case. Castle died under suspicious circumstances. (http://www.activistpost.com/2013/07/questions-arise-as-to-coroners-cover-up.html) ATTACKS ON HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS Attacks on human rights defenders continue. We now are seeing where attorneys attempting to address these issues are being suspended from the practice of law. Ken Ditkowsky was so suspended for four years, after a career of over fifty years practicing law in Illinois, for requesting an honest and comprehensive investigation into abuses taking place under these adult guardianships. Arizona attorney Grant Goodman was suspended after devising a system under which guardians could be sued under RICO and communicating with guardianship victims throughout the US about this process. Margie Mikels, a well-known activist attorney in San Bernardino County, was threatened with disbarment by Judge Michael Welch in San Bernardino and subsequently withdrew from further appearances in that courtroom. JoAnne Denison has been charged with yelling fire in a crowded theater by the Illinois ARDC attorney Melissa Smart, for Denisons act of running a blog, marygsykes.com, where she posts documents relating to a probate guardianship as well as comments pointing to corruption in the courts. The decision on Denisons license is pending. In addition, the courts are now in some cases illegally arresting those attempting to protect their parents rights. Case in point was the May 21, 2014 arrest of Rosanna Miller in Logan County, Ohio, who was illegally detained for failure to pay court costs. The Supreme Court of Ohio has issued a memo stating that an individual cannot be arrested for failure to pay court costs. The judge in this matter, Ann Beck, of Bellefontaine Municipal Court, had already evidenced animus toward Miller. It is unknown how many such petitioners Beck has so falsely had detained as the court has declined to produce these records. The issue of incarcerating people for court costs, in violation of the no-debtors-prisons stance of the United States, has been the subject of an ACLU investigation and reports. (https://www.aclu.org/blog/tag/debtors-prisons) In another abuse of process, Barbara Stone is now on house arrest and facing criminal charges for taking her mother out to lunch. The criminal judge in this matter, Migna Sanchez-Llorens, who sits on the Circuit Court in Florida, has a record of receiving financial contributions from attorneys who appear before her and has failed to properly disclose this, which gives the appearance of substantial impropriety. The USs behavior in certain cases could best be described as a vendetta. Jeffery Silverman, journalist, US national and former Army Scout, has had his citizenship revoked without due process. Joseph Zernik, Ph.D., head of Human Rights Alert, has fled the US and is now living in Jerusalem, where the US in 2013 seized his Israeli bank account. Zernik sought protection by the German government and subsequently his assets were returned to him. Janet Phelan, a US born journalist who fled the US after an intelligence sting operation/assault put her into a coma, is in Latin America, and continues to cope with repeated US intelligence-generated attacks, largely of a chemical assassination nature. She has written a book concerning these experiences, EXILE. Janet Phelans mother appears to have been murdered by the elderly womans guardian. Ray Fernandez, who also left the US following a horrific guardianship battle concerning his mother, Clara Fernandez, became politically active in hosting a website and FB groups concerning guardianship and other political issues. This year, Fernandez was attacked in a nearly fatal chemical assassination attempt abroad. Robert Fettgather, a licensed clinical psychologist, had his license to practice revoked in 2012 as a result of his activism and advocacy for his adult Downs syndrome son. His case is currently being appealed. Melissa Balin was placed under arrest three times in thirty days and the manhandling by officers resulted in miscarriage of her first pregnancy. Melissa Balin is a filmmaker, and was one of the 292 people arrested due to their involvement with the Occupy movement on the morning of November 30, 2011, which came to be known as the #OLA292. It is worth noting that Melissa Balin had never been arrested prior to her known association with Occupy LA. When Balin moved to respond legally, she was determined incompetent to stand trial through a falsified forensic report by Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health. She narrowly escaped commitment/conservatorship. It is of note that those who are being placed under these severe protocols are not famous or embedded individuals or journalists. The lawyers who are being suspended for their interest in civil rights tend to be sole practitioners. The main stream press continues to turn a blinkered eye to such attacks on lawyers, reporters and people attempting to simply protect the rights of loved ones. These circumstances all point in one directionthat the United States government is involved in demographic targeting of its citizens and that those who attempt to protect the rights of others, be they media, attorneys or simply concerned family membersare being treated with at times brutal disregard for their civil and human rights.

2	Michelle Pulls Unbelievable To Stunt During Speech... The world was shocked this week when a video surfaced of four black teenagers brutally torturing a white teenager while they screamed F*ck Trump! and F*ck white people! Just 24 hours after the four criminals were arrested for this unbelievable hate crime, Michelle Obama gave her final speech as first lady. Of course, she did not bother to recognize the tragedy that took place. Instead, she decided to focus only on herself. Being your first lady has been the greatest honor of my life, and I hope Ive made you proud, Michelle commented, adding that she does not intend to step out of the public eye after leaving the White House. Hours later, the Obamas set off to throw their final A-list celebrity party in the White House. The event will be attended by many of their liberal Hollywood friends. While the rest of the nation is still reeling from the terrible hate crime that was live-streamed on social media, the Obamas are going on with their lavish lifestyle as if nothing happened. If this had been a black American, or a Clinton supporter, the Obamas would be talking about the incident nonstop. 
2	BREAKING: Fox News Anchor To Be Fired For Saying Hillary Is Ugly On Live TV During The Debate Fox News host Brit Hume sparked outrage last week when he made comments about Hillary Clintons appearance during the presidential debate. Hume described Trump as looking annoyed and put out, but those comments didnt seem to bother liberals. When he called Clinton composed, smug sometimes but not necessarily attractive, they went crazy. Many went on to point out that Hume said nothing about Trumps attractiveness, accusing him of being sexist and calling his own appearance into question. Brit Hume, whose face looks as if it is melting downward, appoints self as judge of attractiveness, Adam W. Gilreath commented. Brit Hume says Hillary Clinton looked smug and not always attractivewhat kind of description is that of the Dem nominee for president? Wendy Schiller added. Others brought up the recent sexual harassment allegations targeted at Fox News former CEO Roger Ailes. Not surprising Brit Hume saying #Hillary not necessarily attractive Humes comments werent the only ones targeting Clintons look. Lester Holt also asked Donald Trump about his comment that Hillary doesnt have a presidential look. I dont believe she does have the stamina, the presidential nominee responded. 
1	In an effort to inspire the team before Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, Spurs captain Tim Duncan reportedly reminded his teammates Friday to always put their duties as fathers before their jobs as basketball players. What you do on this court is nothing compared to what you do at home for your children, said Duncan, adding that what this country lacks most is not basketball players but mature men. The playoffs end in June, but the responsibilities of fatherhood? Those are year-round. Guys, it doesnt matter if you score 10,000 points or win three NBA championshipsspending time with your kids: thats the championship. This is just a game, after all. Duncan then referred his teammates to a study showing that children with absent fathers were more likely to have behavioral problems than those whose fathers were present and involved in their lives. 
3	President Foreshadows New Internet Surveillance Proposal During National Security SpeechTrevor Timm Halfway through the speech, Obama said he wanted to review the authorities of law enforcement, so we can intercept new types of communication, and build in privacy protections to prevent abuse. We certainly agree with the president we need new privacy protections for our digital communications, and its encouraging to hear him suggest support for such proposals. After all, we know the vast surveillance authorities given to law enforcement over the last decadelike the Patriot Act, FISA Amendments Act, and National Security Lettershave been serially abused. Unfortunately, President Obama has actively defended these laws and policies in Congress and the courts, despite promising to reform them as a candidate. There are still many measures his administration could support in the coming months to protect Americans communications. The White House could formally support reform of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, which still says law enforcement agencies do not need warrants to obtain emails over 180 days old. The White House could come out in favor of warrant protection for cell-phone location information since its requested by authoritiesliterally millions of times a year without a warrant. In the wake of the Associated Press scandal, Obama could also support a bill to require a court order for call records of all Americans. But the first half of Obamas statementabout review[] the authorities of law enforcement, so we can intercept new types of communicationis quite troubling. The line is likely an allusion to CALEA II, a dangerous proposal the New York Times has reported the administration is on the verge of backing. The measure would force companies like Google and Facebook to install backdoors in all of their products to facilitate law-enforcement access, putting both our privacy and security at risk. Indeed, it seems that the law enforcement is working at cross-purposes with the folks concerned about actual cybersecurity. Just a few months ago in his State of the Union address, Obama himself talked about hackers who steal peoples identities and infiltrate private e-mail and foreign countries and companies [that] swipe our corporate secrets. Requiring real-time back doors into all of our communications would make those kinds of attacks easier. Recently, a group of more than a dozen of the nations best cybersecurity experts published a paperexplaining why such a proposal would be a disaster for Internet security, giving hackers all over the world a central point of vulnerability to target. And of course the FBI has still failed to put forth any evidence showing a bill to intercept new kinds of communications is needed at all. According to government statistics, from 2006-2010, the FBI has been ultimately thwarted by encryption zero times in their criminal investigations. Citing privacy concerns, the White House commendably has threatened to veto CISPA, the cybersecurity bill. It should also jettison this ill-conceived CALEA II proposal in favor of privacy and security. Email and call the White House today to tell them you oppose any plan to make Internet companies build government backdoors into your communications. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	Addressing thousands of faithful GOP supporters at the Republican National Convention Thursday evening, the best they could get right now formally accepted the partys nomination for the presidency of the United States. It is a great honor to stand before you all today and accept your nomination for president, the only real viable alternative they had, given the options, told the assembled GOP delegates at the Tampa Bay Times Forum. Together, we will take America in a new direction. Together, we will win the White House. With Thursday nights speech, the by no means perfect choice what are you gonna do finally reached the end of a difficult nomination process, having beaten a field of challengers in the primaries that included theyd have to be crazy, not a chance, and the absolute worst-case scenario. You have given me a solemn responsibility, one that I do not take lightly, said the honest to God strongest game plan the Republicans could come up with after four whole years of trying. It has been an extraordinary journey to this point, and I believe this is only the beginning. After accepting the nomination, the lesser of several evils thanked those in attendance, adding that it was a great honor to have the much more exciting possibility, actually, although probably better for 2016, as a running mate. What theyre just going to have to live with because it isnt like Ronald Reagan is walking on to that stage anytime soon then went on to offer a hopeful vision for the future. It is true that our country has fallen on hard times, the only halfway decent alternative around if one is being brutally frankand, at this point, why not be brutally franksaid in the nationally televised speech. But a brighter future lies ahead. Promising to solve the countrys economic woes and restore strong values to the White House, the admittedly safe bet that didnt exactly set the world on fire in 2008, isnt exactly setting the world on fire now, and probably never will be what die-hard conservatives, or even moderate Republicans for that matter, really want in their deepest heart of hearts blasted President Obama for four years of failed ideas and failed policies. Its time for a change, the perhaps inevitably uninspiring fall-back plan of a rudderless party attempting to redefine its political identity amidst a rapidly changing political landscape announced. I will not let you down. Thank you, and God bless America, concluded the only way they were going to raise this kind of money, anyway, so they cant complain too much. 
1	At a house party Saturday, Arizona State University sophomore Lisa Burrell let go of her inhibitions after a single sip of beer. 'Jeff, my man, wassup?!' Burrell shouted to fellow partygoer Jeff Sharp before the half-ounce of Budweiser she had ingested was halfway down her esophagus, much less absorbed into her bloodstream. 'Wanna dance, baby? Oh, yeah! Shake it!' Burrell is believed to possess the lowest voluntary alcohol tolerance in Arizona State history. 
2	Disturbing Secret From Hillarys Past Leaks, She Never Wanted This To Get Out In an attempt to widen the gap between herself and fellow candidate Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton has been desperately trying to separate herself from Wall Street. She has argued that she wants to demolish the secret unaccountable money that currently exists in politics. Wall Street can never be allowed to once again threaten Main Street, Hillary commented. And I will fight to rein in Wall Streetand you know what? I know how to do it. That might sound noble, but you have to remember that this is Hillary were dealing with. And unfortunately for the former Secretary of State, it has just been revealed that she and her husband made up to $76,000 a day from massive payments stemming from Wall Street banks, dating all the way back to 199. According to reports, the couple made almost double the average Americans annual wage every 24 hours at the peak of their Wall Street earnings. This sum was reportedly earned from speech fees, with Hillary earning $7.7 million from 2009 onwards. She made almost 40 appearances during that time for the likes of UBS and Goldman Sachs. As if that werent disturbing enough, Hillary was paid more than $200,000 for speaking to organizations like that American Camping Association and the American Society of Travel Agents. For one of those appearances, she wasnt even physically in the room. She sounded like a Goldman Sachs managing director, one audience member from that speech told reporters. It would bury her against Sanders. What do you think? Is it crystal clear that the Clintons simply cannot be trusted? 
2	Obamas Muslim Family Comes Forward And Reveals Devastating Truth About Barack Since he first came into the White House, President Barack Obama has faced some serious questions about his religious and cultural backgroundsmany of which remain unanswered. In fact, most of the information that we receive is from family and sources outside of the country, who tend to make claims that Obama is a Muslim who was born outside of the United States. Barack Hussein Obama is the son of a Shiite father, claims London-based activist Abu Muntasir Al-Baloushi. There is no doubt that he is Irans lifesaver. Some people call him the Iranian lobby in America. He suffers from a peculiar complex. Another writer from Syria named Muhydin Lazikani made a similar argument, I am not peddling some theory and I am not being racist, but Barack Hussein Obama is the son of a Shiite Kenyan father. He imposed this Shiite expansion on Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Iran, and Afghanistan, Al-Baloushi further argued. Any wise enemy of Islam realizes that Shiite expansion is the best method to destroy Islam from within. Time Magazine has argued the Obama is mostly Christian, and have made claims that the theory of Obama being Shiite is far-fetched and appears to have originated in Iran. Still, Obamas recent interactions and relations with Iran have raised some serious questions. What do you think? Is Obama lying to America about his background? 
2	BREAKING: Shooting TERROR At JFK Airport... Chaos Ensues This week, David Wallace-Wells wrote a terrifying and powerful piece for New York magazine, detailing his experience at John F. Kennedy during a recent shooting scare. The piece has since gone viral, and its easy to see why. What happened at JFK last night was, in every respect but the violence, a mass shooting, Wallace-Wells writes. The fact that there was no attack at the center of it was both the weirdest and the scariest part that an institution whose size and location and budget should make it a fortress, in a country that has spent 15 years focused compulsively on securing its airports, in a city with a terrifyingly competent anti-terror police unit, could be transformed into a scene of utter bedlam, stretching out from all eight terminals across the tarmac and onto the adjacent highways, by the whisper of a threat. Within minutes, the whole apparatus of the airport and its crowd-control mechanisms had collapsed into total disarray. Read the full story here and share your thoughts with us. 
3	Whats the Difference Between Trumps Wall and the DNCs Wall Around its Philadelphia Convention?Op-Ed by Catherine J. Frompovich What gives about the dichotomies within the Democratic Party and its leaders? Whats wrong with their flip-flop values? Will those values change and become Orwellian-like, like the Obama changes promised changed, but have become draconian after his election to office? Hint: Presidential Executive Orders! A petition has been sent to the DNC by the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms that reads: Democrats have become known as the party of gun control, said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. Virtually all recent gun control proposals at the federal and state levels have been launched and championed by Democrats. Its time for the party to put up or shut up about guns. The best way to do that is to forsake armed security during the convention. If a political party believes that guns do not make us safer, Gottlieb observed, they should set an example by rejecting any and all forms of armed security at their national convention. A party that does not believe in the right of individual citizens to keep and bear arms should not benefit from the safety provided by others who bear arms. [1] Even though I dont fancy guns, I do not feel its guns, but disturbed people, who use guns to harm others, which the Corporatocracy programs due to the numerous neurotoxic elements allowed to affect us from birth (vaccines) and throughout life (more vaccines, pharmaceuticals, fluoridated water, GMO phood, chemtrails from governments Solar Radiation Management scheme regarding climate control, plus electromagnetics from HAARP, all the cell towers and smart gadgets that negatively affect our brains) apparently to program unstable peopleeven politiciansto do stupid things! Theres also another thing I think voters ought to consider about politicians: how they vacillate on issues or probably dont realize that they should not be doing things that will catch up with their future, e.g., using a private email service as U.S. Secretary of State. Personally, I was appalled to receive an email with a photograph of a prominent politico wearing blackface as part of a Halloween costumeOMG! How politically incorrect was that? This article is about stressing that there seems to be no accurate fairnessor even perception of itin the 2016 presidential campaign to date from all involved, especially the media. How much worse we can expect it to get? When will voters realize that? As someone who is genuinely concerned about our countrys fast-declining future and wheres it seems to be heading via the meme called political correctness [the public restroom use is just one obvious example] that the very ones who promote PC but apparently wont live bythe DNC wall and gun patrolled conventionI think voters need to demand better from both parties. Wouldnt it be something rather stupefying if they held an election in November and no one showed up to vote as a protest to tell those who think they are the powers that be that we, who pay their freight, want no more part of their unmitigated BS!

What if they gave an election and nobody voted. We could push it even furtherWhat if everyone just left! That might give them pause. No, they will just lie this never happened and the participation was like it always is. And definitely the people approved their policies. LOL This whole thing is a JOKE. I agree on this thing being a joke, the proof we are talking about the DNC! What a joke! Yeah, they should calm themselves down, nobody will show up to their garbage Convention anyway, they already left the Party. The democratic party establishment is not to the left at all especially with Hillary as the nominee gun control is not liberalism its fascism consolidation of power and wealth in the US corporation established in 1871 and its shareholders its just like how the war in Libya was pushed as a humanitarian war but it was a fascist war to prevent the gold dinar from replacing the almighty dollar in Africa It means a lot about their Partys Unity when they need to build a Wall in order to protect themselves from angry Democrat voters. Yea cus they rigged tf out of it especially in Cali Come on boy you be too slow. I think before I type unlike you cus my brains still function Solve the puzzle Omar LOL, yup its to keep Bernie Bros at bay, they are going to be treated as terrorists when they show up. Im unsure if they will wake up from the socialist dream even then Admin cat Interesting name for a troll uh thanks It looks like armed guards in Chinese Factories while children are working inside. Who wants to go to that Convention now? May be that is the point. Stay out so we can do our thing in secrecy. dinar behind the entire effort, economics is warfare, period. Really how was the dinar a threat to the US itself maybe a threat to US hegemony but not to the US citizens so it was an unconstitutional war agreed A lone gunman sure riles up the MSM anti-second amendment folks. But perpetual wars are ok. EXACTLY! Notice how NOBODY calls Obama out for bombing hospitals in Afghanistan and Yemen, killed over twice as many as that FBI Orlando contract killing over the weekend. But guess what? Obama could eat the entrails of babies on live TV and his worshipful media sheep will STILL say hes a president of peace whose farts smell of petunias I doubt he was alone. I hope the folks in charge of the diebold (?) voting machines have a good handle on the software used. The electronic voting machines have one a purpose and everyone knows why. Where are the proteststs? There are currently a few lawsuits regarding vote suppression and manipulation,due to some statistical irregularities that are consistent with and symptomatic of voter fraud,of the Democratic primary vote counts. At this point, voting Republican or Democrat is the equivalent of being in prison choosing who you want to r*pe you, do you want the big black guy or the big white guy, it really doesnt matter because youre still going to get effed no matter who you pick. Trump wants to keep the Illegal aliens out. The dems want to keep us Americans out! . . ISIS attacks Democrats say disarm Americans. You have misquoted Democrats. No Democrat has suggested disarming Americans. However what they ARE saying is what president Reagan said: assault rifles are not necessary for home protection. They are military grade weapons,and should be unavailable for purchase by anyone. disagree Okay, so you treat the mentally disturbed. The rest of us will have confiscation and a strong registry or this will just continue to happen over and over and over and over and I believe the difference in the DNC wall is that THEY are going to take the lumber FROM THEIR BRIDGE BUILDING use it to build the wall.so technically it will be a bridge (in THEIR minds). According to a Secret Service statement,what theyll construct is a no climb fence around the convention site. There are a few Sanders rallies that have been granted permits. So put your own spin on these events if you want. But waste billions of taxpayers dollars on a wall along the Mexican border? Total impractical waste,our tax dollars can be much more effective if spent in other areas,such as infrastructure. Betcha billHillary will have armed suits protecting her worthless thieving backside. Democrats were once for a wall with Mexico, until they werent. ..La Raza $500,000 speeches.hmmm who is paying for that wall? that wall has to be stopped. democrats should file a lawsuit. Free speech should be a part of political conventions. Just remember everyone has their own judgement day. I wouldnt want to be in a lot of these so-called leaders shoes when their time comes. 
3	City of London vs. Scottish IndependenceJames Hall Much of this reputation has arisen from its history of innovation over the last three hundred years. The Bank of Scotland, established in 1695, one year after the Bank of England by an Act of the Scottish Parliament, illustrates the prevailing attitude to the creation of money in that era. A list of banking innovations is a useful background of Scottish banking activities. The City of London is the granddaddy of financial empires. Anglophiles are eager to point out all the achievements of expanding civilization and exporting the dominant economic model that the British Empire established in the colonial period. Control of indigenous cultures has been a dominant objective within the commonwealth association. Scotland knows this lesson better than most. Therefore, a news report at Banks Threaten To Leave Scotland If People Vote For Independence, is totally consistent in the world of high power politics. Some of the biggest banks in Scotland are threatening to leave if the people there vote for independence from Britain. In a move designed to pressure the people of Scotland to stay within the UK, the Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group have said they will relocate if Scotland votes for independence in an upcoming referendum. English society maintains class distinctions and privileges within the United Kingdom. Many Scots may accept serving the Crown, but tolerating second-class citizenship insults the proud heritage of the Highlands. The case for Scottish Independence would seem to be logical and rational, especially if the direction is to leave the oppressive dictates of European Union bureaucrats in a future break. Therefore, the attitude that the first minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond, maintains is a primary motivation behind a YES vote on independence. The Businessweek article Can an Independent Scotland, Free of Londons Dominance, Survive? examines the prevailing issue. In a March speech in Edinburgh, Salmond quoted a professor named Tony Travers, who said, London is the dark star of the economy, inexorably sucking in resources, people, and energy. Nobody quite knows how to control it. Now that the independence referendum is too close to call, the bankers express their worry. The media blitz ramps up to tip the outcome. Scottish independence has finally rattled the City of London has the usual banksters forecasting the dislocations from a currency panic. UK debt in theory would be viewed by financial markets as a riskier bet since there is a remote possibility an independent Scotland would refuse take its share, estimated to be about 120bn. The effect of a smaller UK carrying the same debt burden would be to push up debt-to-GDP ratios, currently about 75%, by about seven percentage points. In practice, however, markets might take that event in their stride. The Treasury has already affirmed its commitment to service all gilts in all circumstances; the possibility of interest rates being lower for longer might even push gilt yields lower. Instead, it is the currency question that now obsesses the City. The most important specific risk, in our view, is that the uncertainty over whether an independent Scotland would be able to retain sterling as its currency could result in an EMU-style currency crisis occurring within the UK, Kevin Daly, senior economist at Goldman Sachs, said yesterday. Ask yourself why it takes a possible severance in subjugation, which Scotland endures to bring forth the very real issues of unfunded financial obligations. The essay, Scottish independence: Sterling on knife-edge as City braces for Scots vote, exemplifies just how hazardous the current economic course has become. A chorus of British business leaders have been voicing fears about a Yes vote in recent days. The right wing Centre for Policy Studies think-tank became the latest group to weigh in with a report warning of a severe risk. The CPS claims there is a 13.8bn hole in the Scottish nationalists budget plans as North Sea oil will run out faster than expected while public sector costs will rise and financial-services firms will quit Scotland. Many in the City still have the jitters about the Scottish vote. Leading firms could be facing a 100bn pension funding gap under European rules which demand pensions must be fully funded if they are deemed to be cross-border because of Scottish independence. Royal Bank of Scotland is said to have a 5.6bn gap. When the BoE central banker states: Mark Carney: Independent Scotland must build currency reserves, he really is saying that the financial markets view the risk of the English economy greater than the potential opportunity for the Scots to establish their own banking system. Given the Scottish economy is around 146bn (including the oil industry), this suggests that reserves totalling around 36bn would be needed if Scotland chose sterlingisation ie, using the pound without a currency deal. The governor indicated that Scotland could start independence with around 15bn of reserves, depending on negotiations ahead of break-up. The Scottish vote on independence is a remarkable event. While the polls may not accurately reflect the sentiment of the Scots, the fact is that the City of London will use all their influence and punishments, if the tally goes against the interests. Scotland has a chance to fire a new shot heard round the world, this time in the backyard of the financial elites. Is it possible to break ties with the New World Order peacefully, or will the consequences of a successful separation be so high that a majority of Scots will lose their nerve? If any ethnic culture has the courage to vote for independence, it would be the Scots. The destiny of a people is not written from the back offices of bankers and accountants. The world should view the independence vote as a liberation watershed that could open up the financial prospects of ordinary citizens.

3	Fluoride: Killing Your Childs Brain SoftlyAlex Pietrowski The history and known dangers of fluoridation is easy to find and easy to digest online; however, each new study warrants media, or alternative media, attention because for some odd reason mass public opinion on this issue is critically slow to tip in favor of non-fluoridation. Recently, even more evidence has been gathered and distributed by researchers, this time showing how fluoride severely damages the neurological development of the most vulnerable and important members of our society, our children. Consider this, an opening statement from an article by the Harvard School of Public Health: In the actual study cited in this article, the case is made that fluoridation of children begins even before birth as this toxin is passed to fetuses during pregnancy: According to this research, fluoride attacks the developing brains of our most precious resource, our children, before they even have a chance to breathe air for the first time. Given the rapidly changing social climate in the United States, where nearly 70 million Americans are already taking mind-altering drugs, and the nature of socialized crime is evolving into an alarming pack trend, it is way past time that we search for the genuine roots of mental illness in our society. Some extremely important questions to consider after reviewing evidence of this nature are: Professional and official disagreement on the dangers and supposed benefits of fluoridation has been ongoing for decades, and so far the majority decision has largely been to err on the side of fluoridation for some baffling reason. This could perhaps be due to a greater elitist conspiracy to poison and dumb down the population as many suspect and support with authentic research, or it may also be in part due to the natural inertia of the human mind that when once deceived prefers to remain deceived so as not to disrupt the cognitive stability it derives from working in familiar patterns. Perhaps we just have a collective arrogance about us that forbids us to admit when were wrong; or even more frighteningly, perhaps were already a society that has been so severely affected by fluoridation that we no longer have the intelligence to resolve this crisis. Whatever the case, its a moot point because while we mull over the issue, debating this or that, the mass poisoning of our children continues. Here are some basic steps that you can take to reduce you and your childrens intake of this poison: Please share this information far and wide, and focus your intention and will power on the hopes of a future where we are smart enough to first err on the side of caution, and we remove this clearly toxic substance from our food and water supply.

2	Fire Departments Response To Atheists Outraged By Their Sign: Get Over It Once again the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) has found a target for their extreme efforts. This time, a firehouse in Utica, New York is facing criticism after displaying a sign that reads Happy Birthday Jesus, We Love you. According to reports, this is not the first year the station has had the sign on display, but this year the FFRF asked the citys mayor to ensure that the sign be taken down. The sign at Fire Station 4 explicitly invokes the name Jesus, an exclusively Christian god, and makes a direct statement in support of that deity on behalf of the station and the City, the letter states. This is precisely the sort of religious endorsement prohibited by the Establishment Clause. The FFRF also sent a separate letter to fire chief Russell Brooks this April, asking ahead of the holiday that the sign not be placed outside this year. I was advised by the Thomas Law Center that we were well within our rights to display our Christmas sign, Brooks wrote in a response to the organization. In addition, they would support us, as well as any efforts from any organizations looking to prevent us from doing so. The town is standing by to see what the result of the letter to Utica Mayor Robert Palmieri will be. Meanwhile, the FFRF continues to speak about, stating, How would Brooks feel if his local government put up a sign saying, Happy Birthday, Mohammed. We love you!? This sign is equally inappropriate because government bodies should not take sides on religion. What do you think of the incident? Do you support the fire station or did they take things just a bit too far? 
1	Saying that hes done a few trial runs already and is confident he can reach his target time soon, area father Richard Downing, 62, told reporters Thursday that hes on track to bring the average length of a phone call with his adult son Mark down to a trim 47.5 seconds. As of right now, my typical phone conversation with Mark usually lasts approximately 58 seconds, sometimes a few seconds more, but Im positive that with a few crucial adjustments I can shave 10 seconds off of that average, no problem, Downing said, noting that hes already adopted several changes that include making only cursory inquiries into his sons job, responding with polite, one-word answers to any questions, and outright eliminating his own updates on the progress of an ongoing basement renovation project. Obviously, there are a few variables I cant control, like if he actually has some important news to tell methen that would inevitably tack on an extra half minute and skew the average. But I think if I can avoid bringing up his girlfriend and keep the when-are-you-visiting-next stuff to a minimum, well already be hovering right around the 48-second mark, give or take seven or eight seconds of awkward silence until I hand the phone over to his mother. When reached for comment, Downings wife, Linda, noted that she herself is implementing a battery of conversation-expanding tactics in an attempt to boost her average talk with her son up to an even 80 minutes. 
2	Al Sharpton Pays Big After Announcing Donald Trump Protest A few days ago, Al Sharpton announced that he would be marching on Washington on Martin Luther King Day to protest Donald Trumps inaugurationset to take place just five days later. To the notorious race-baiters disappointed, things arent quite going as planned Recent reports indicate that Sharptons We Shall Not Be Moved has gotten the support of fewer than 1,000 people on Facebook. Instead, liberals are committing to the Womens March on Washington, which already has 175,000 RSVPs and an additional 250,000 people interested. This is a slap in the face to Sharpton, given that two of the key organizers are former executive directors of National Action Network, the civil rights nonprofit Sharpton founded in 1991. In fact, the Womens March is led almost exclusively by black women, cutting into the audience he is targeting for his own march. Sharptons very worried, because obviously, it would be a big embarrassment if no one shows up, one source commented. Publicly, they say, Were all getting along. Behind the scenes, theyre fighting like cats and dogs, and Sharpton was trying to get them not to hold the rally until March. What do you think? Is Sharpton getting exactly what he deserves? 
1	Residents of the Carney Gardens neighborhood on Chicago's South Side are opposing an effort by asshole real-estate developer Royce Messner to build a godawful $45 million strip mall and condominium complex in the crime-ridden shithole they call home. Residents march to protect their beloved, execrable squalor. The Save Carney Neighborhood Foundation, the most organized non-criminal group in this part of town, has filed a lawsuit in federal court to block the scheduled April 2008 groundbreaking. While halting the project would surely prevent a tragic urban-planning nightmare, it would also mean keeping the run-down, economically depressed community exactly as it is. 'Carney is where I was born and raised, and it remains a tight-knit community,' said Foundation chairman Althea Hynes at a fundraising block party held Monday on a broken bottle- and condom-strewn stretch of Carney Avenue where the money-grubbing Messner wants to put a soulless indoor food court. 'Lots of young kids still play in the empty lots around here.' Messner, 54, a three-time Chicagoland 'Builder of the Year' and all-time unbelievable scumbag who made his fortune in the 1990s converting public parks and cheap, blighted properties into high-rise luxury residences, is seeking to 'revitalize' Carney Gardens by razing it and replacing it with a damned cookie-cutter mixed commercial-residential development that would benefit no one who lives there now. Unrepentant prick Messner. 'What people like this can never get through their heads is the fact that progress isn't always painless,' the rapacious bastard said, as if he were not talking about driving thousands of poor benighted fucks out of the place that, pestilential hellhole or not, is the only home they've ever been able to afford. 'They complained about the expressway over their heads too, but its easy-on, easy-off access makes Carney Gardens a prime area for development. Once we get a few more chain restaurants in that area, the whole economy will turn around.' A hellish 16-block stretch of burned-out buildings and howling poverty, Carney Gardens has never recovered from its economic slide in the late 1960s. However, many of those who live in the human sewer say they can't just allow Messner to squat his bloated fat-cat ass over their neighborhood and dump a big concrete-and-glass yuppie turd onto everything they've ever known. 'There's no way this city can allow some developer to just come in here and ruin our community,' said liquor store owner Carlos Jimenez, demonstrating willful ignorance of Chicago history, the conditions immediately outside his door, and even his role in Carney Gardens' downfall. 'Where are all these people supposed to go if they put up that mall hereGary, Indiana?' said Hynes, as if living in a filthy, dangerous joke of a city was some kind of affront to her standards. Urban planning experts say that any opposition to the colossal asshole faces an uphill battle, as Carney Gardens has been a wart on the ass of Chicago for too long. Despite this, it seems that the determined Save Carney group will not abandon its hope of rejecting the only development proposal their hopeless pit will see in the next two decades. 'Poor communities are at a disadvantage against this type of developer, who speaks the language of City Hall,' said Jackson Eisenberg, an architecture professor at Loyola University who has studied the effects of short-sighted, profit-oriented renewal and gentrification on dozens of crap areas. 'It's the same dilemma faced by the working-class [losers] in [rotten-ass] urban neighborhoods across America. As a [shrivel-dicked] businessman looking for a lucrative investment, [evil] Messner sees a ripe opportunity here.' Mayor Richard M. Daley has yet to speak publicly about whether he will oppose Messner's human hamster cage, or allow the vile prick to wipe the bleeding wound that is Carney Gardens from existence.

Mahatma Gandhi Jay Syrmopoulos writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. i support the pipeline , the Indians have bad conceal! Why dont we just mind our own dame business and stop meddling? There have been NUMEROUS leaks, you just dont know about it. It destroys water, farmland, creates more air pollution and those living near fracking sites become very sick. Fracking chemicals are destroying the environment and peoples health, also causing massive earthquakes. That is what this is also about. Obama killed the Keystone Pipeline that would bother no one, But he doesnt do a thing about a pipeline crossing a sacred part of an Indian Reservation, which actually has the rights of a sovereign nation. Dont you wonder why? 
3	Coming Soon: Pro-Obamacare Propaganda in TV ShowsMelissa Melton Marketplace reports: Hollywood Health Society, a program with the USC Annenberg Norman Lear Center got a $500,000 grant this week from The California Endowment to help TV writers tell better stories about the new health insurance law. Why try to get your public health message into fictional story lines? People learn from TV, says Marty Kaplan, the director of the Norman Lear Center. Even if they know it is fiction, even if they know if writers can make stuff up, especially in the realm of medicine and public health, if a doctor says something to a patient, people tend to think that someone has checked that, that its true, Kaplan says. Kaplans group works to make sure that at least some of what comes out of doctors mouths is real, or at least real-ish. Hollywood Health Society has worked with nearly 100 TV shows everything from Mad Men to Desperate Housewives to Dr. Vegas and The Bold and the Beautiful. The Center has access to the megaphone that is Hollywood. [emphasis added] Great. I can see it now. Crying, melodramatic wife character: What can we do, doctor? He doesnt look good! Fake doctor: Well maam, Im afraid that only Obamacare can save him now Crying, melodramatic wife character, sniffling melodramatically: Where can I sign up?! Sigh.

1	A four-month-old veal calf revealed Monday that topping its Christmas list this year is a quick, painless death. 'I would like the end to come soon,' said the calf, speaking from its one-by-two-foot pen. 'And when it does come, I hope it is not agonizing.' Sources close to the calf were surprised that more spacious living quarters and a longer life did not come higher on its list, coming in three and six respectively. Number two on the calf's list was a Panasonic wet/dry razor. 
1	In what the Dallas Mavericks hope will be an effective variation on the 'Hack-A-Shaq' defense, the traditional method of stopping Shaquille O'Neal by committing repeated hard fouls against the Miami Heat's dominant 7'1', 325-pound center, the Mavericks will equip their players with custom-made, razor-sharp machetes for this year's NBA Finals. 'I'm tired of everyone saying that Shaquille is unstoppable, that he's the most dominant player in the game, that he can just impose his will on any type of defense, and that he thrives on contact,' Dallas coach Avery Johnson said, brandishing his own machete as he addressed his players before their first pre-finals practice. 'Let's see how much he thrives when he comes in contact with one of these!' The players then raised their machetes and stormed the practice court, maniacally hacking and slashing the practice-squad players while chanting 'Defense!' Enthusiastic team owner Mark Cuban said that, when he was presented with the idea of purchasing machetes for his 'boys,' he was immediately behind it. 'I thought, 'Great! Avery is finally thinking outside the box!'' Cuban said. 'And since then, machetes have been the only things on my mind. Thinking about machetes has taken up every second of every day. Machetes! Machetes, man.' Cuban then purchased a case of machetes, and had each one custom-made to fit his players' size and frame, and engraved them with his players' names, numbers, the Mavericks' logo, the 2006 NBA Finals logo, and the credo 'Defense Wins Championships.' Johnson, while noting that the admittedly impressive machetes were 'just another tool in the box' and 'an addition to, not a substitute for, solid defensive fundamentals,' said early practice with the 20-inch blades has allowed him to demonstrate his flair for aggressive, innovative coaching. 'The X's and O's of it are pretty simple,' Johnson said, drawing up the play on his dry-erase board. 'Once Dwayne Wade passes the ball to Shaq down low, [point guard] Jason [Terry] will drop down to double-team him and chop the backs of Shaq's legs, especially the femoral artery and the Achilles tendon, with his lighter machete. Dirk [Nowitzki], while he's doing that, you will curl off your man and go for O'Neal's collarbones with an overhand chopping motion of your Latin machete. By the third quarter, Shaq will have lost a significant amount of blood, and that's when Keith [Van Horn] and [Josh] Howard will be stabbing at O'Neal's kidneys and the sensitive insides of his elbows with their respective weaponsVan Horn with his Bolo Machete and Josh with his Double-Edge Machete. Meanwhile, [center] DeSagana [Diop], who I understand brought his own Panga Machete from home, will be carving O'Neal's ribs.' 'If we do this right and concentrate on rebounding to clean up our trash on offense, we can hold Shaq to 10 points a game,' Johnson added. 'But let's not underestimate this guy. He can still be a force on the court, even with five machetes sticking out of him.' Although players are being tight-lipped about their learning curve on this complex defense, Johnson said that his team is committed to carrying the machetes a full seven games and are willing to sacrifice a little agility for full defensive supremacy. Dirk Nowitzki has said that, by Game 6, the most dominant player in the world should be reduced to nothing more than '300 pounds of hamburger in a Miami Heat jersey.' And Mavericks third-string center and O'Neal practice stand-in Erick Dampier came out of his morphine-induced coma long enough to assure everyone that the defense works. After being informed of Dallas' new strategy, commissioner David Stern issued a written statement in which he expressed some concern about its effect on both player safety and the rules of the game. 'I always encourage coaches and players to continually strive to find new ways to play our beloved game,' Stern said. 'My only worry is that the unorthodox nature of this defense may cause some playersand one player in particularactual physical harm. Furthermore, I would like to reiterate that balls shot towards the basket may not be knocked out of the air or destroyed by handheld objects, a rule which certainly includes machetes.' Veteran Miami Heat coach Pat Riley, who seems unfazed by the possibility of losing his star center, said the key to playoff basketball is making adjustments. Riley hinted that he was working on a new 'Berserk-A-Dirk' defense and, while not offering specifics, hinted that the strategy involved unleashing a rabid, meth-crazed Gary Payton on the Mavericks' star player. 
1	According to a nationwide poll published Thursday by the Pew Research Center, an overwhelming majority of Americans said they were surprised that technology had not yet advanced to the point at which everyone lives inside of computers. Asked what they had envisioned daily life would be like by 2013, most poll respondents said they thought they would no longer live in the physical world but inside a bunch of circuit boards and screens, where human beings would exist only as glowing clusters of information zooming around from computer to computer. I really thought wed basically just be electricity at this point, said Nashville, TN resident Harry Clement, 45, explaining that he, like most Americans, had assumed that instead of living in houses people would make their homes in desktop PCs or maybe a bunch of servers on the internet. I figured wed be able to, you know, flip a switch and suddenly appear in a computer surrounded by a bunch of flashing numbers. He added, If you had asked me 20 years ago where wed be by now, Id definitely have told you that wed be spending our days sitting around on electronic cubes and flying across motherboards and doing stuff like that. According to the poll, more than two-thirds of Americans said they had presumed that by 2001 human beings would have bodies made entirely of pixels, by 2006 they would stop eating food and acquire sustenance by consuming pure data, and by 2011 they would no longer travel by car or on foot, instead hitching light-speed rides by fiber-optic cable whenever they wanted to go somewhere. In addition, 98 percent of respondents said they had pictured a future in which they would only be able to die if someone accidentally deleted them. Its 2013, for Gods sake, why arent we floating on megabytes across an infinite blue or green grid of some kind? said Jennifer Cosgray, a 29-year-old medical assistant from Cleveland. I thought by now Id be sleeping inside a special battery pack, and then in the morning someone would press a little button and my face would show up on a monitor. I dont know who would press the button, though, since everyone would be inside their computers, she continued. Probably theyd have a robot to do that. While saying they remain confident the day will come when they can inhabit a world composed of ones, zeros, and backslashes, many Americans expressed frustration over the fact that, for the time being, they must continue to assume a bodily form and expend actual, physical effort several times a day. Honestly, theyve had plenty of time to figure this stuff out, said Doreen Turico, a Chicago-based marketing manager. Whats the point of all this technology if were not actually living inside of computers yet? That seemed like where we were headed, but Im still stuck in a stupid house with a stupid lawn made of grass and dirt. Im really tired of all this shit, you know? she added. If the endgame of all this isnt to live inside a computer one day then, I have to say, life just seems sort of meaningless. At press time, a visibly distressed Turico was reportedly jamming a finger into a USB port, smashing a keyboard, and screaming that she just wanted to upload the hell out of here. 
1	ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, NYThe Princeton Review announced this week that Bard College has topped its annual ranking of the nation's biggest dinner party schools. The liberal arts college, which is located in New York's Hudson Valley and last year placed third on the list, has long been notorious for its active dinner party scene and consistently ranks near the top in such categories as roasting pine nuts with friends while discussing summer internships, and cooking with woks. 'Whether it's an intimate gathering of friends making vegetarian lasagna or an all-out potluck for studio-art majors, Bard students like to throw dinner parties, and they like to throw dinner parties hard,' an excerpt from the rankings read. 'It's almost impossible to walk the campus of this 2,000-student college on a Friday night and not hear the sound of Yellow Tail Pinot Noir bottles uncorking and Brian Eno's Here Come The Warm Jets album wafting across the quad.' 'Potential applicants are advised to save some room for homemade vegan snickerdoodles, because this is one dinner party school that is not for lightweights,' the excerpt concluded. In surveys conducted by the Princeton Review, more than 80 percent of the students at Bard said they attend dinner parties 'frequently to quite frequently,' and another 60 percent said they regularly neglect their studies in order to pick up artisanal cheeses at the market in town. The article quotes students who described the school's rampant 'seven days a week' dinner party culture and the widespread popularity of on-campus herb gardening. 'People go crazy here with the dinner parties,' said freshman Michael Lee, who claimed he knew about the school's reputation for all-evening-long dinner parties when he applied for admission, but found it even more pervasive than he'd expected. 'I've been to dinner parties where guys show up with baguettes under both arms and just go for hours talking about Joanna Newsom or whatever. It's nuts.' Other students on campus claimed that some dinner parties carry on into brunch the next morning, and in many cases produce leftovers that can 'last all weekend.' Bard administrators said steps in recent years to curb the school's rampant dinner party culture have met with mixed results. 'The bottom line is that kids here are always going to throw dinner parties,' said Mark Halsey, associate dean of Bard College. 'No matter how hard we crack down, students will still find a way to get fresh produce from the local farmer's market and make a big garden salad or puree some root vegetables. Some of them may even whip out Apples to Apples after dinner and play that while sipping on some limoncello. All we can do is try to make sure it doesn't get out of hand.' Continued Halsey, 'That's why we have a strict policy that any student attending a dinner party with more than four courses will be immediately suspended.' School officials said Bard has made a number of positive changes since 2005, when a student was sent to the hospital after ingesting in excess of three poached tilapia fillets in less than an hour. Steps taken to manage the dinner party scene on campus include freshman orientation classes encouraging students to eat alone in their dorm room at least three times a week; banning the use of fondue kits on campus; and contacting the parents of students found using vegetables or tofu from the school's dining hall in their homemade stir-fries. Still, students insisted that the dinner party scene is not likely to slow down anytime soon. 'I've already got three coming up this weekend,' said sophomore Marissa Booth, holding up a handmade invitation made from a cut-up black-and-white photocopy of musician Kim Gordon scrawled over in colored pencil. 'Although I won't be able to attend Jane's ravioli-making party because of my gluten allergy.' 
1	During his recent stint on the 15-day disabled list, Hideki Matsui completed a two-day rehab assignment with Class A Tampa Yankees in which he went 2-for-6 and 'didn't even hit one [home run] the whole time.' 'I've hit homeruns off Cy Young winners in clutch situations, but for some reason I couldn't even get an extra-base hit off some guy named Waldrop in the fourth inning of an inconsequential game,' Matsui said through a translator. 'I thought I was sent to Single-A to make myself feel better by humiliating these younger, less-experienced players. Sorry, that's hardly what happened.' In an attempt to regain his confidence, Matsui recently traveled to Westchester, NY, claimed to be 'new in town,' and entered a pick-up game with some neighborhood children in which he went 1-for-5 and was picked off in an attempt to steal second base. 
3	Rick Perry Grandstands Against ObamacareCassandra Anderson, Contributor Rick Perry is grandstanding because he has failed to protect Texans from the threat of the new IRS enforced tax against people who decline Obamacare. Oklahoma State Representative Mike Ritz plans to introduce legislation that does protect the states citizens because it authorizes Oklahomas Attorney General to defend citizens who fail to purchase insurance against the federal government and it criminalizes enforcement of the individual mandate. The proposed Oklahoma bill is based on model legislation from the Tenth Amendment Center, the Federal Health Care Nullification Act. Although Bilderberger Rick Perry pretends to be a conservative and constitutionalist, his opposition to Obamacare is a lightweight effort that fails to protect individuals. Nonetheless, it is still helpful in the movement to nullify Obamacare. If states refuse to set up insurance market exchanges, the federal government says it will implement the insurance exchange for them. However, Michael Boldin of the Tenth Amendment Center said, if the federal government had the resources to do this in the first place, states wouldnt even be part of the equation. It is unlikely that that the feds have the funding to do this, and theyll need the complicity of the states to pull it off. Obamacare Cost to Taxpayers No one knows how much Obamacare will cost. But whenever government gets involved prices, corruption and insider deals escalate. Senator Jeff Sessions says that Obamacare will cost taxpayers $2.6 trillion over 10 years and an additional $17 trillion in long-term obligations that are unfunded, with no plan on how to pay for the increased spending (heres a clue about how it may be funded: the IRS will be adding over 16,000 new agents). Obamacare Cost to Individuals If the states go along with implementing Obamacare, there are 2 programs for uninsured individuals to get coverage: 1. State health insurance exchanges will be an obligation for many uninsured people and those who become uninsured when their employers dump insurance as a benefit. According to Forbes, a single individual with no dependents who earns $32,000 will be obligated to pay $2430 for the Obamacare plan or will get dinged with the $695 tax if they refuse it. Healthy people are likely to opt for the tax. For a full explanation and more examples, click on the Forbes article link HERE. Currently, healthy people can purchase cheap insurance with a high deductible: while researching, I was able to find a plan offered by Health Net (IFP PPO Advantage 6500) that has a premium of $102/month with a $6500 deductible in California, which is half of what an individual would spend on Obamacare. 2.Medicaid will be available to people who fall below and slightly above the poverty line; the poverty line was $22,050 for a family of 4 in 2010. Conclusion Obamacare is unaffordable for states that are already in debt, and for individuals who will pay higher taxes and mandatory insurance. The rightful remedy is nullification through the Tenth Amendment to protect individuals against the tyranny of the federal government.

2	BREAKING: Putin Declares That He Will Nuke ISIS Russian President Vladimir Putin couldnt be more different than Obama. He really takes charge. Russia has already bombed Syria multiple times, and has just announced that they are ready to nuke Syria if ISIS continues its terror. Although, Putin says he hopes it doesnt come to that. Obama refuses to do anything about ISIS. Maybe Putin is doing too much. But at least hes doing something. It seems like Obama is letting Russia and America change places. Arent we supposed to be the world superpower? Do you support nuking ISIS? 
1	Searching for some silver lining in his teams 26-16 loss in Sundays AFC Championship Game, 32-year-old Patriots fan Daniel Lowery reportedly attempted to rationalize his deep, utterly consuming sadness by claiming New England would have an improved pick at the 2014 NFL Draft. You know, we probably wouldnt have beaten the 49ers or Seahawks in the Super Bowl anyway, so its better to go out now and then move up a few spots with our first-round pick in May, said Lowery, reportedly trying his utmost to mitigate his sweeping disappointment and heartbreak at his team coming up just short of a Super Bowl appearance. One or two spots in the first round can really make a huge difference. Plus, we already have a great foundation, so if we can just get healthy next year and pick up a solid rookie, we can make a real run at the Super Bowl next season. In a desperate effort to mask his extreme, inescapable despair, Lowery then confirmed his hopes that the loss would give the Patriots a better chance of landing star Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley. 
3	War is a Racket! Has Anything Changed?Phillip Farruggio Wars, invasions and occupations by our military, according to General Butler, were all predicated on the desire for profit by corporations. He, himself, called his past life as a Marine General as being a gangster for these private industrial interests. He used WW1 as an example of who made the profits for our military being sent over there. Apparently, most of our American public at that time could not care less for what Smedley Butler was selling. As president he did many dirty deeds in the name of fighting communism. A whole list of countries that the United States pushed our sabers into, whether overtly or most often covertly, defines how we will be recorded by truthful historians however few and far between they may be. Our current position as the worlds superpower is the bastard child of this greedy and corrupting military industrial complex, more simply known to many as an empire. There is a movement nationwide to get the Congress to cut this tragically high spending by a minimum of 25%. Since 2001, military spending has almost doubled! It now hovers at over $560 billion a year, or 56 cents of every tax dollar we each send to Uncle Sam. Imagine if even one half of that savings went back to each state and its cities budgets? The city of Daytona Beach nearby, for example, would receive 35 million dollars a year. That amount would wipe out all of the cuts in services for that community with just half of the savings from the 25% cuts in military spending. We could then shut down our 800+ overseas military bases and hundreds of thousands of our troops would return home, at even more savings. With our powerful navy and our satellite technology, America would still be safer than it is now. Why? Well, when you take your boot off of the throat of someone, they can breathe easier, yes? It is time for the dedicated Occupy movement members and the labor union movement to get on board with but one focus: Pullback this military empire! All the other peripherals such as a greedy Wall Street, terrible foreclosures, viable and real health care reform, layoffs, etc. are all connected to this overzealous military empire. It is time for we who know better to be role models for the majority of Americans who still buy into the mainstream medias hype and spin. There is no major difference, so far as this military industrial empire goes, between the two major political parties. Yes, the Republicans seem more caustic, but the Democrats are more diabolical by their hypocrisy. Its time to come together like libertarian conservative like Ron Paul and lifelong progressive like Ralph Nader to call war what it is a racket.

3	Former lead Obama auto adviser Steven Rattner: Glenn Greenwald is not a journalistMadison Ruppert Instead, claims Rattner, Greenwald, who broke the PRISM story along with several other major stories on government surveillance programs, is actually an activist portraying himself as a journalist. Greenwald has been attacked many times in the media and elsewhere over his reporting on the information leaked by Edward Snowden, and there is a possibility that he might testify before the European Parliament on the issue. The members of the panel on Mondays Morning Joe were discussing how one might hide from the National Security Agency (NSA). Mika Brzezinski, the host of the show, stated that the story surrounding the NSA surveillance is not black-and-white, though she claims Greenwald believes it is. Thats exactly the point, Rattner said. First of all, Glenn Greenwald is not a journalist, hes an activist portraying himself as a journalist. Thats maybe another conversation than what were having, he continued. But youre right, its not a black-and-white story. Philip Bump, writing for the Atlantic Wire, argues that, The argument is ridiculous, of course. Even conservative Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina tacitly acknowledges Greenwald is a journalist, if the media shield law he introduced with New Yorks Chuck Schumer is any indicator. Bump ultimately argues that Greenwald should be treated as a journalist because the best of journalism is about seeking reform. Indeed, as New York University journalism professor Jay Rosen stated in a tweet: Just reminding you that one of the things Pulitzer entries are encouraged to include is changes that followed after the facts were exposed. Weve already seen a surprisingly successful, but ultimately failed, attempt to limit NSA surveillance in the House. Furthermore, a recent Pew poll shows that 56 percent of Americans believe that federal courts do not provide adequate limits on the telephone and internet data collected by government. Even more notable, however, is the fact that 70 percent of Americans believe that the government uses the data they collect for purposes other than investigating terrorism. A whopping 63 percent believe that the government is also collecting what is being said in phone calls and emails, with only 18 percent believing the Obama administrations claims that theyre only collecting metadata. Perhaps most shocking of all, 27 percent of Americans believe that the government has either listened to or read their emails. Still, 50 percent of Americans have a positive view of the program overall, though views on the governments anti-terror policies in general have changed significantly over time. As Jonathan Weisman reported on Sunday for the New York Times, while opposition to NSA surveillance was on the political fringes only a week ago [it] has built a momentum that even critics say may be unstoppable, drawing support from Republican and Democratic leaders, attracting moderates in both parties and pulling in some of the most respected voices on national security in the House. If this shift can be even partially attributed to Greenwalds reporting, Rattners case would be weak. Bump pointedly notes, Rattner may actually be unaware of what journalists do. Perhaps this blind spot is because the journalists he hangs out with work for Morning Joe.

1	His eyes trained on the Sylacauga East High School football field during after-school practice, University of Alabama football scout Calvin Weaver announced Monday that he sees 'great promise' in head cheerleader Cindy Ann Kohlner. 'With that flexibility, [Kohlner] would clearly dominate the league in the sack,' Weaver said. 'You can't look at someone like her without thinking 'tight end.' But really, she would be outstanding in any position.' Weaver also said that, given the opportunity, he would 'love to fuck her.' 
2	Obama Manipulates San Bernardino Shooting To Push THIS Agenda Just moments after the terrorist shooting in San Bernardino made headlines, President Barack Obama was on air pushing his gun control agenda. It seems like he has a fill-in-the-blank rhetoric for each of these tragedies and the same proposal for common-sense gun legislation. Fortunately, there are many Americans who see this for what it is: an attack on our Second Amendment rights. Obama likes to pretend that stricter gun laws are the solutions to all of our problems, but that method has already been tried and tested. California has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, but they were still victimized. Gun controls not the answer to this San Bernardino shooting, Rush Limbaugh wrote on his Facebook page. It will never be the answer to something like this. And more and more reasonable people with common-sense understand that. Universal background checks, Obamas genius idea, are already implemented in California. Yet the tragedy still occurred. What does Obama have to say to that? Magazine limits arent going to do the trick and neither are gun-free zones. What we have is a problem with people. Dangerous people. What we have is a problem with security. Obama tries to distract the American public from thatbut its clearly not working. What do you think? Do we need a leader who is ready to address the real problems were facing today? 
1	On Monday, President Clinton signed into law the much-discussed 'Must-See TV' bill, which requires all Americans to watch NBC's Thursday-night prime-time line-up. 'With the signing of this bill, the phrase 'Must-See TV' is no longer merely a strong suggestion by NBC; it is a federally backed order,' Clinton said. The president stressed that under the new law, viewers would be required to watch not only the top-rated, Emmy-winning programs Seinfeld, Friends and ER, but also 'all of the crappy programs sandwiched in between.' Failure to watch Must-See TV will result in fines of up to $250,000 and up to 10 years in federal prison. 
3	Parents Call Police to Report Teens for Distributing a Banned Book Cops Show UpBy Matt Agorist The award-winning novel,entitled TheAbsolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian,was banned from schools last year after parents became outraged over the books alleged anti-Christian and sexual content. After the book had been banned, it inspiredJunior Mountain View High school student Brady Kissel to start a petition to get the book back into schools. This motivated high schooler managed to get a whopping 350 signatures. Unfortunately, the state remained resolute in their decision to ban free speech. When a local bookstore became aware of the students situation, they decided to take up a donation to buy a book for everyone who had signed the petition. Their efforts were successful and they raised $3,400, enough money for 350 books. When Kissel showed up at Kleiner park in Meridian to pass out copies of the book to those who signed the petition, parents hellbent on imposing their obstinate views on other peoples children called the police. Instead of telling the parents that it is not illegal to hand out books, officers were dispatched to the park to investigate. After an hour of handing out the books, Kissel was confronted by police. Fortunately, however, the officers were unable to find any evidence of a crime and allowed the teen to finish distributing the books. Kissel told KBOIthat after the publisher heard about her actions last year, they donated another 350 books. She has since handed them out as well. What has to go through a parents mind for them to think it is okay to use the force of the state to prevent children from reading a book? The fact that the book was banned from schools in the first place is bad enough, but when members of society find nothing wrong with using the police to stop other children from reading a book, something must be said. Brady Kissel is a hero and deserves recognition for standing up to the face of censorship. It is teens like her who give hope to humanity. Matt Agorist writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com GOOD COPS, GOOD KIDS! With adults willing to call the cops over something like this is it no wonder that America of old is long gone. The sooner it collapses under the weight of its own stupidity the better it will be for the rest of the world. Im trying to do my part. I and 2 others were arrested for redressing grievances with our county traffic court judge. (arrested for TrespassingIm not making this up.) Convicted and sentenced to a year in jail. On appeal I have done nothing but send a notice by affidavit that using force and imprisonment to criminalize my and the Peoples rights is an act of treason. I know I will lose the case because this is true but at least I can make them squirm a bit and hopefully spill a few beans before they make a political prisoner of me. I dont know the details of your case, but my sympathies are probably with you. I made a stand against law enforcement abuses and was faced with three years behind bars. I got an online attorney, who just happened to have been with the New York Citys prosecutor office. She walked me through the vital first steps, starting with getting my trial delayed by a year and reviewing very carefully every move and statement by the local prosecutor. In the end, I got a $300 fine and 6 months unsupervised probation. The police had broken into my home and stolen personal items (this is true, one of theirs even admitted it), and other things. You can only push the people so far, and then its snap time. I was arrested for harassing THEM over the telephone, after the PD would not take a complaint from me. Yahoo, America the land of the free and home of the brave. The brave do have a home, BTW its called the county jail. My part is widely spreading the #whitegenocide meme, helping White people realize this is what is happening to them. Diversity is a codeword for #whitegenocide, chasing down the last White man. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian was pulled from the curriculum in Idaho Being pulled from the curriculum is hardly the same thing as being banned. Only a very,very tiny percentage of all the books ever published can be included in any curriculum. After an hour of handing out the books, Kissel was confronted by police. Fortunately, however, the officers were unable to find any evidence of a crime and allowed the teen to finish distributing the books. All that happened here is that some silly busybody called the police to no effect. But if they had been distributing some white racist or anti-government literature it wouldnt be surprising if a bogus arrest for hate speech would have occurred. With the way LEOs are in the US nowadays it is extremely dangerous to call them for anything. 700 books sold that would probably have never been sold. I wonder if the people that pulled the book and called the cops understand that their actions had exactly the opposite affect as intended. Kinda like Obama being the greatest gun salesman in US history. LOL. And doing soooooooooo much for race relations.. People that read books are the least likely to endorse banning them. Religion is how to make people into slaves. Moses was a mass murdering psychopathe. He was not a holy man from god. People that believe that mass murderers are holy men from god are retarded immoral idiots. Musnt forget the good old schizo paul/saul . Lol Well, dying daily has a way of giving one great obes light sound experiences as well! God is what the church is built upon, not Paul. Nonsense. First of all, what has this got to do with parents trying to ban a book and secondly, Im a christian but I am by no means a slave to anybody. Because some people never miss an opportunity to celebrate their hatred of Christians. The busybodies who called the cops about books should be charged with false reporting. And if there are enough cops for them to even investigate a complaint about passing out books, there are too damn many cops. Freedom of speech wasnt intended to be used to promote degrading filth to children. Oh an idea ,,, quick kill it I take exception to your judgment. Have you even read the book? I was a manager of a bookstore for several years and had the opportunity to visit with Mr. Alexie a few times (he lives here). He is a very moral man that only uses adult themes to make strong points. Its called good literature and writing skills. Im not saying his work is appropriate for pre-adolescents but by the time kids hit Jr. Hi they have been exposed hundreds of times over to sights and words far, far, far, far more disturbing. Hey, I read Persepolis by Iranian Marjane Satrapi because it was banned! Great movie, too! Kudos Brady never let em see ya flinch Police show up and nobody is killed or imprisoned, that is an uplifting story. The way our parents think, is going to ruin the future. We need to enable our children to experience new things, and let them decide for themselves. Im a Christian man, however, I wont force my children to attend church. I wont be THAT parent. America is dying from stupidity bred by incompetent people who are stuck in the ways they were taught. Welcome to 2016 Enjoy your freedom while you have it. parents hellbent on imposing their obstinate views on other peoples children called the police. There are plenty of books that shouldnt be in public schools. If a child wants it so badly and their parents agree, its probably on Amazon or in the local library. Grow up and quit trying to force your world on those around you. I can point you to plenty of artwork you wouldnt want to show your children. Please understand that this is advertising, not journalism. The Left only cares about free speech when its promoting degeneracy. Recently theyve been throwing around ideas on how to censor speech that they dont like. The majority of Americans are stupid brainwashed idiots! Humans in general are stupid. We were made to be stupid from all the poisons in the air, water, food, and medicine. Another big contributor is the evil liebox tv which is the image of the beast in the Bible. It moves and speaks yet there is no life in it and it is used to lie to the whole world. It was also developed as a mind control device and it really works on the majority of the sheeple. Everything the evil treasonous government says are lies. The chemtrails are hiding Planet X which is causing the major increase in seismic and volcanic activity and weird weather. Fluoride is toxic rat poison. There are numerous poisons in the food: MSG, diet sweeteners, GMOs, roundup, benzoates and nitrites, etc. The vaccines are toxic bioweapons full of heavy metals and designer diseases. There are several cures for cancer and none are chemo and radiation which cause cancer. Weve had free energy for over 100 years and the evil ones wont let us have it. The list is endless. The end is here. The day of the next false flag using the nuke they stole in 2007 (when they were looking for Steve Fossett) and blamed on Iran, America will be annihilated by Russia, China and the SCO. This is the war of Armageddon and you know its now because Planet X is going to end the war after 430 days. By then 90% of Americans will be dead. This is all planned by ET and the evil governments know about it. The evil Pope and Queen E-lizard-btch both said this was our last christmas. 
1	With the drunk-driving fatality rate nearly tripling in Illinois in the past year, the state's Department of Motor Vehicles announced Monday it will re-examine its controversial 'One For The Road' driver-relaxation promotional campaign. In this DMV publicity shot, a driver and his passengers are 'playing it safe,' unwinding with a scotch and soda before facing the stress of a long drive through rush-hour traffic. According to DMV statistics, more than 80 percent of motorists report feeling 'significantly more relaxed' after just one drink. 'Driving a car can be an incredibly stressful experience,' DMV spokesperson Dale Penn said. 'That was the idea behind One For The Roadwe felt it was important for motorists to loosen up a bit before getting behind the wheel.' 'It does seem, though,' Penn added, 'that the program may have needed some fine-tuning.' According to Penn, the One For The Road program had its roots in a DMV study revealing a positive correlation between alcohol consumption and driver confidence. 'We found that people who had consumed at least four beers or two mixed drinks before getting behind the wheel were twice as likely to believe they were in no danger of getting hurt or killed,' Penn said. 'When operating a serious piece of machinery like a car, that's just the kind of confidence you need.' Among the DMV study's other findings: A majority of elderly respondents and female college freshmen reported being 'more mellow' and 'really tuned into the road' after just a single drink. Launched last fall, the $3 million One For The Road campaign included talks by police officers at Illinois high schools encouraging kids to start 'thinking about drinking'; a statewide drunk-driving poster contest; and a series of print and television ads featuring the slogans, 'Before You Hit The Road, Hit The Sauce,' and 'Unwind... To Survive!' In the time since the September 1996 launch of One For The Road, some 2,300 DUI-related fatalities have occurred in Illinois, a 275 percent increase over the previous year. 'Perhaps we need to reconsider certain aspects of the program,' said Bill Gerhardt, co-creator of the program. 'We need to ask ourselves, 'What parts of this program are not working, and how can we fix them?'' Despite the widespread criticism of One For The Road, some safety experts have expressed concern over what might happen without the program. 'If this program is cut, there are going to be countless alcoholics driving around sober, their hands shaking so bad they can't even keep them on the wheel. It's just not safe,' said Hal Knauer, a safety advisor for the Illinois Board of Transportation. 'A person like that relies on alcohol for steady nerves.' Added Glenn Sturbert, an Illinois-licensed driver-examination official: 'Some of these 16-year-olds come in here so nervous that I'm afraid to get in the car with them. Now, I myself can't give them something to take the edge offthe DMV only has a Class B liquor licensebut what's going on at home that the parental concern isn't there?' Penn noted that even with the program's suspension, many brochures are available from the DMV offering information on 'getting loose.' 'These materials are there so that no driver can ever claim ignorance as a reason for having driven in an unnecessarily tense state,' he said. One For The Road is not the only DMV program currently under fire. Also being investigated are the campaigns 'Smoke Up For Safety' and 'Pack First!' 
1	In an effort to ensure a constructive discussion for tonights town hall on gun control, White House Communications Director Jen Psaki told reporters Thursday that officials are carefully screening any audience questions that refer to President Obama as Mein Fhrer. While we try to include as many different questions as we can regarding the various elements of the gun control debate, any inquiry that specifically addresses the president as Mein Fhrer will be immediately discarded, said Psaki, adding that the vetting process also involved promptly removing submissions that contain various iterations of tyrant, the Kenyan, and Dictator Obama. Its quite challenging to catch all of them since there are so many questions, and most are written in all capital letters, with multiple exclamation points instead of question marks. We received an excellent query about state versus federal background check protocols, but it began with a reference to Sharia law, so it was instantly rejected. Psaki told reporters, however, that in order to fill out the hour-long forum, the White House would have to let one question about false flag attacks slide. 
2	Trump Finally Hints On Who His Vice President Will Really Be For some time now, Americans have been trying to determine who GOP frontrunner Donald Trump would elect as his Vice President if he becomes the Republican candidate. Some have suggested that Trump should run with Sarah Palin, but others argue that Ben Carson would be the strongest running mate. Now, it appears that Trump may be listening to that second group. He recently showed respect for his former competitor when he retweeted Carson. Take a look at the exchange below: I believe in God who can change people- he can make any of us better.@RealBenCarson Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 11, 2016 Carson has also mentioned that he has no hard feelings for Trump, though the two exchanged in mudslinging when they were going head-to-head. What do you think of this pair? 
2	BREAKING: Harry Reid Being Charged For Abusing Political Power It appears that Senator Harry Reid is quickly becoming one of the most disliked political figures in America, after he continues to make some outrageous proposals. He has even asked to alter the Constitution to actually give government some control over freedom of speech, by limiting the way peoples voices can be heard through campaign contributions. He has also been known for pushing issues of racism where they dont exist, like pushing the Washington Redskins to change their name. Now, according to WND, formal ethics complaints are being filed against Reid for abusing his power with the goal of intimidating citizens: A formal ethics complaint filed with the U.S. Senate charges Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., with abusing his political power to intimidate private citizens.

1	The five-year warranty for a UniTek MP3 player outlasted the product's manufacturer, which closed Monday after two years in business. 'I still had more than four years left on that [warranty],' said Jeffrey Lalo, 44, who bought the MP3 player in June 2001. 'Man, that sucks.' Lalo said he plans to hang on to the certificate of warranty 'just in case they somehow come back or something.' 
1	Speaking with reporters while putting the finishing touches on Miami's new stadium Saturday, construction workers at Marlins Park admitted they had no idea what the structure would be used for, despite having built baseball stadiums in the past. 'We installed a big pool back there, so maybe all the seats are for people waiting in line to swim?' said foreman Frank Davies, sealing one of the large, inexplicable dual aquarium tanks behind home plate. 'But there's that giant rainbow thing with the pink flamingos we built at the edge of the grass that sometimes lights up and moves like a windmill, so I'd say my best guess is this is a really big miniature golf hole or a theme park for disabled children.' Major League Baseball has yet to rule the field fit for play, as the stadium has no traditional dugouts, Marlins management having opting instead for two giant sets of wax lips. 
3	Egypt Takes Path Toward Rejecting Globalist ControlBrandon Turbeville This decision, which was largely anticipated by those following the Egyptian countercoup and the apparent nationalistic tendencies of Gen. Sisi, would reverse a trend that was set in motion decades ago by corrupt Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak and accelerated by Muslim Brotherhood fanatic Muhammed Morsi. Under both Mubarak and Morsi, Egyptian standards of living plummeted, prices rose, and economic stagnation took hold. As a condition of the IMF loans, an onslaught of free-market reforms, privatizations schemes, and austerity measures began to take place with even more being expected in the future, such as a value-added tax publicly advocated by the Muslim Brotherhood ruling class. The history of the IMFs involvement in Egypt is, as it has been everywhere else, a tragic one. Then 2004 brought a new cabinet which swiftly cut the top rate of tax from 42% to 20%, leaving multimillionaires paying exactly the same proportion of their income into government coffers as those on an annual salary of less than 500. Special economic zones were created, foreign investment reached dizzying heights ($13bn in 2008) and, in the past three years, economic growth has clocked in at a consistently high 7%. The minimum wage, incidentally, has remained fixed at less than 4 a month throughout. The global business community applauded Mubaraks rule as bold, impressive and prudent. Indeed, the economic crisis only escalated when the corrupt, fanatical, and incompetent Muslim Brotherhood took power, pursuing Mubaraks legacy of yet another deal with the IMF which would have lead to even further tragic consequence for the average Egyptian. From attempts to remove subsidies on necessities like food and oil, the raising of the sales tax, and the implementation of a value-added tax, the Muslim Brotherhoods economic program was an abysmal failure. Thus, with the recent announcement by the interim Egyptian government of the abandonment of any request for a loan from the IMF, many analysts have predicted the process of a historic re-orientation, last seen in the early 1970s. One of the most notable aspects of this possible re-orientation would be a significant turn away from a close relationship with the United States and a pivot toward Russia as the nation seeks to regain its prominence that it once experienced during a period where it was free from the yoke of the United States. In a rather frank statement, Egyptian Minister Abdel-Nour pointed out that Egypt is currently facing a plot, which appears clearly through the terror acts and stances of some international media outlets against the government and democracy. Although Abdel-Nour did not elaborate (or if he did his elaborations were not reported), it is largely understood that the Minister is referring to the Anglo-American powers that have not only attempted to control Egypt for the last several decades but to destabilize it no less than twice in the last two years, even attempting to use it as a spearhead military force against Syria and Ethiopia. Furthering suspicions regarding Egypts turn toward Russia and away from the United States, Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy stated on September 16, during his visit to Russia that Egypt appreciates Russias supporting stance to the Egyptian peoples will. Fahmy also stated that Egyptian foreign policy is seeking to develop relations with Russia, boost bilateral cooperation and enhance mutual interests. Fahmys statement regarding the unfolding crisis in Syria with the United States and the rest of the Anglo-American world foaming at the mouth to take military action against Syria was likewise revealing. In regards to the latest Russian initiative to seek diplomatic solutions to the chemical weapons controversy (which has been entirely organized and fabricated by the West from the very beginning), Fahmy stated that If this initiative should be successful, it would become the most important element for the protection against the threat of a division of the Middle East, as it occurred after the first World War. Should a military solution for solving the crisis be chosen, it would bring the real threat of splitting parts of the Eastern Mediterranean region. When one observes the developments taking shape in Egypt on a singular and individual basis, it might appear at first glance that the nation is experiencing the same turmoil and unstable political life that many Middle Eastern nations are currently experiencing across the region. However, when one steps back and takes a look at the bigger picture, it seems that what is taking place in Egypt is indeed more than a simple confluence of circumstances but a true realignment of political power both within and outside the country. If Egypt takes a turn towards nationalism and Nasserism then the Anglo-American world will necessarily find itself another center of resistance to global hegemony in the Middle East.

2	Gretchen Carson Voices Her Disgust That Osama Bin Ladin Worshiped Allah [VIDEO] Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson has come under serious fire this week after the news source Mediate posted a story claiming that she had publicly slammed Allah. The report indicated that Carlson found it sickening that Osama Bin Laden praised Allah. She also added that Allah is not God. The comments stem from a conversation about the Al Qaeda job application that was discovered in the compound. It turns out the Al Qaeda recruitment forms looks a lot like any other job applicationquestions like list your previous occupations, Carlson commented. Have you been in jail or prison? Do you have any chronic or heredity diseases? Then it get more Al-Qaeda-ish. Are any of you relatives in the jihad theater? Do you wish you execute a suicide operation? Who should we contact if you become a martyr. The most sickening part though is the last line: Praise Allah, lord of all words. Nope. Not really at all, Carlson concluded. Liberals were quick to express their outrage, and Carlson, a proud Christian, was forced to defend herself via Twitter. @Mediate got my take wrong. I meant it was crazy Osama Bin Laden praised Allah as if Allah was condoning his acts of terror, she wrote. Mediate has stood behind their original story. 
1	All the playoff teams are this weekend so I decided to make a post about the top storylines in each game, which are all interesting. As explained to me, the storylines are the things people talk about. But it is more complicated than that. Anyway here are the storylines. RAVENS VS. STEELERS They say that teams try harder when they're mad at the other team but I don't think that's true. I was on a softball team one year at OSN and every game I accused the other team of cheating even if I liked them. I always made the umpire measure their bats because I said they were too long by the rules. People began to say 'uh oh, we're playing Alex's team this week, he's going to make the umpire measure our bats.' They did not invite me to play softball the year after that, although I would not have played anyway and that is true. PACKERS VS. FALCONS Everyone was hoping the Eagles would win and then Michael Vick would play his former team the Falcons. Then he could have beat them and taught them the ultimate lesson about giving up on your quarterback just because he murdered a bunch of dogs and went to jail for almost two years. Instead Atlanta will play the Packers who I don't know much about. SEAHAWKS VS. BEARS These are two garbage teams who got into the playoffs I don't know how. I heard the crowd made an earthquake when the Seahawks scored their big touchdown last week, but I think that's probably untrue. It's like when Chili's says they have the best lunch combos but they really overcook everything and get mad when you order a soda refill right at the end of lunch because they want to give away your table. But you get UNLIMITED SODA REFILLS. JETS VS. PATRIOTS The Jets are pretending they don't like the Patriots, but really I think they are just pretending. It's like when I had a skunk under my deck and every day I'd spray the hose at it and it would spray its scent at me before I went to work. I'd always shout at it but really I just wanted it to go away and spray other things or get run over by a car. I didn't like being sprayed by a skunk every day when I went into work because you are treated like an animal by your friends and co-workers. Marky wore a surgical mask near me except on the air because then they wouldn't let him. I think the Patriots will win. Those are all the playoff games. If there were more then I would talk about them, but there aren't. 
1	Following the Nationals' most recent loss Sunday, witnesses reported seeing third baseman Ryan Zimmerman quietly marking a copy of The Washington Post with a small 'x' next to the team's name in the standings, just to see what it would look like if the Nationals had clinched a playoff spot. 'See ya next week, Dodgers,' Zimmerman muttered to himself in apparent reference to his team's imaginary first-round playoff opponent. According to sources, Zimmerman then went on to scribble a 'z' next to the Nationals' name saying, 'Wow, best record in the National League. Looks like the road to the World Series goes right through good old Washington.' Zimmerman then reportedly drew a '2' in front of his home run total, giving him 232 on the year. 
1	In an emergency press conference held this morning, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff urged the American public to be on the lookout for a folder that was misplaced sometime in the last 24 hours, most likely in the DHS offices, but also possibly anywhere else. Chertoff looks in vain through the cabinet where the Department of Homeland Security keeps all its bills. The last known location of the folder, described as a blue hanging-type folder with the DHS logo on the front, was in the hands of Assistant Secretary of the Office of Intergovernmental Programs Anne P. Petera during a classified meeting with President Bush and the Joint Chiefs of Staff yesterday. It reportedly contains a number of documents and satellite images that would be of no interest whatsoever to anyone if they found it. 'I can assure all Americans that the assistant secretary could have sworn she had it with her when she went through the metal detector,' Chertoff said. 'According to the latest information, she set it down for only a second right before the briefing, and now it is gone. Officials have diligently checked everywhere from the bathroom, to the top of the refrigerator in the breakroom, to the underground emergency command bunker we were touring this morning with representatives from the Centers for Disease Control, but apparently it has simply disappeared.' Added Chertoff, 'It has got to be around here somewhere, so please, if you see a blue folder, say something.' While Chertoff would not comment on the nature of the lost documents, he did specify that there were approximately 45 pages of white 8 1/2 x 11' recycled paper, half of which were three-hole punched, and half bound with staples and stamped 'Top Secret.' Though he maintained that the folder itself was not of the utmost importance, Chertoff claimed the contents within had 'sentimental value' to the DHS. He insisted that any person or persons who came upon the folder would not be interested in any of the documents anyway, since most are encoded with the U.S. military's most advanced encryption technology. Chertoff also asked citizens to be on the lookout for the DHS' encryption key, which went missing last October. 'There is absolutely no reason for concern,' Chertoff said. 'It's just that the folder was supposed to be on Sheila's desk by the end of the day today, and it would be reassuring if it were returned. But I stress that this is not a particularly urgent matter because, again, it's not absolutely essential to national security. However, if we could get it back by 3 p.m. on Feb. 27, that would be for the best for all of us.' Aides distributed a sketch of the folder to reporters while Chertoff explained that all field agents under the department's jurisdiction have been recalled to Washington to initiate a full sweep for the folder, which, according to Chertoff, could actually be yellow, come to think of it. He also outlined tactics that the DHS has taken thus far to recover the folder, including retracing their steps all the way back to a local Starbucks, going through the office trash bin, waterboarding several members of the DHS cleaning staff, and looking in the same desk drawer 10 times. This new revelation is particularly embarrassing for the DHS, given last month's news that Chertoff lost the phone number of a terrorist informant that he had jotted down on a coaster. Critics who have repeatedly taken the department to task for such lapses have also been vocal about the latest incident. 'In November, Assistant Secretary of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Julie L. Meyers left some sensitive documents on the bus, and acting Deputy Chief of Staff Paul Schneider locked himself out of his office no fewer than five times in the past year,' said Bob Edgar of the watchdog group Common Cause. 'We demand that the DHS take drastic steps to change the way it protects our homeland, such as coming up with rhyming mnemonic devices or even taping Post-It notes to their clothes.' Chertoff assured reporters that he was not accusing anyone in particular of stealing the folder, and said he would leave his office door open so it could be put back on his desk while no one was looking. 'It is of the utmost importance that you go about your daily routine as if nothing vital to the country's very sovereignty has fallen into the hands of hostile forces hell-bent on destroying the United States,' Chertoff said. 'Hopefully, the folder will turn up soon.' The press conference concluded with Chertoff raising the National Threat Advisory to red, thereby placing the country under martial law until the folder is returned. 
2	South Carolina Man Told To Take Down His American Flag This Weekend Because It Violates... According to reports, a Lexington, SC business owner claims he is being told to remove the 10 American flags he put up outside of his business to celebrate the upcoming Fourth of July holiday. Michaelis of Michaelis Mattress Company says he was asked to remove his display because it violates a 1999 town ordinance, which states only three flags that are not duplicates can be displayed only in restricted and intense development districts. The Lexington Police Department let Michaelis know the display violated the ordinance and told him to remove the flags. I put them up yesterday and the city and the town of Lexington says they got to come down because theres an ordinance in place, Michaelis commented. In a statement, Michaelis made it clear that he does not plan to take the flags down. Lexington Mayor Steve MacDougall released the statement below regarding the flag display on his Facebook page: In response to the Article that has so many upset, let me be perfectly clear The Chief of Police, the most respected law enforcement officer in the community, was asked to go by and speak with the store owner about the display and to inform him of the ordinance, we never forced or asked him to take down the flags. We were not given a chance by WIS to respond to this claim until 1:45 when they called while I was meeting with Britt Poole. The ordinance has been on the books since 1999 when Council at the time acted on a negative situation involving the Confederate Flag that required them to create todays guidelines for all flags. 
1	According to a new study released Monday by researchers at Johns Hopkins Universitys Center for Advanced Media Studies, you are totally and utterly inconsequential to the success or failure of the upcoming Bollywood film Zanjeer. Our data clearly indicates that, ultimately, your opinion on Zanjeerwhether positive, negative, or completely indifferentwill be of absolutely no consequence whatsoever to the 75 crore Indian action films performance at the box office, said the reports lead author Dr. Julianne Wright, confirming that the reputation of director Apoorva Lakhia will not hinge in the slightest upon whether you see the film or whether you are even aware of its existence. According to the findings, you will have absolutely no impact on the future acting careers of Zanjeer stars Ram Charan and Priyanka Chopra, as well as supporting ensemble cast members Prakash Raj, Sanjay Dutt, and Atul Kulkarni. You are, simply put, a non-factor in whether this modern remake of Prakash Mehrs classic 1973 action-thriller buoys or sinks Flying Turtle Films commercial fortunes. Wright added that, despite the fact that you will play no role in the films critical or commercial reception, you should still see Zanjeer due to Charans riveting portrayal of Inspector Vijay Khanna, which is said to rival Amitabh Bachchans performance in the original. 
2	No One Even Noticed What Hillary Did At The Debate... Watch Very Closely [VIDEO] Democrat presidential nominee has been denying health concerns for months now. But Americans have noticed that something is off. Take this incident in Fort Pierce, Florida, for instance. When Hillary finished a campaign speech, she stumbled over a staircase she apparently wasnt prepared for. Thats when she paused at the top of the stairs, pointed to a man who seemed like a Secret Service agent, and waited for him to greet her at the top. The man put his arm out for Clinton. She steadied herself and took just one step before letting go of his arm and descending the remaining four steps. That wasnt all. Though Clintons speech was only 25 minutes, she still needed to take a break after having a coughing fit on stage. Do we lift each other up? Or do we tear each other down? Do we listen and respect each other or do we scapegoat, point fingers and insult each other? Clinton asked during her speech. Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

2	Obama Cancels The 4th Of July For THIS Sickening Reason According to recent reports, the Obama Administration just made the controversial decision to cancel a celebration of the Fourth of July at the U.S. embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia. Why? Because our government wanted to respect the Muslim population there. According to Ambassador Robert O. Blake, the holiday should not be celebrated because it conflicts with Ramadan, the month-long Islamic celebration where Muslims fast. Officially, embassies are the national territory of the country being represented, not of the host country, American Thinker wrote, pointing out inconsistencies in the decision. There is no need to accommodate local sensibilities in celebrating our most sacred national holiday. What do you think? Is the administration sending the wrong message by cancelling the important American holiday? 
2	Trey Gowdy Ropes Obama Into Comey Hearings... They Are Both Going Down For The DOJ Cover Up Its been a very long road for Congressman Trey Gowdy of South Carolina in his attempt to hold Hillary Clinton accountable for her criminal actions. Hes not backing down anytime soon. Unfortunately, Gowdy has come up against a firewall. President Obamas Department of Justice keeps granting key witnesses in the case immunity. Recently, Gowdy confronted President Obama about the tactics he has been using to cover up Hillarys crime. Well, there was a coverup and the folks who aided and abetted the coverup was the State Department, he commented. The State Department, which is supposed to be apolitical, non-interest in the presidential election, has been covering for Hillary Clinton since she left office. If you think that there is evidence that is relevant to an investigation on a piece of physical property, you use a subpoena, a grand jury subpoena, Gowdy continued. You dont strike an immunity agreement with the computer, you go get the computer. Her lawyer, Beth Wilkinson, who represents Heather Samuelsson and Cheryl Mills, shes on record of saying the Department of Justice assured me my clients did nothing wrong. Wellpeople who have done nothing wrong typically dont ask for immunity so my question would be immunity from what? What was it you were worried about? What do you think about this? Watch the video below and share your thoughts with us. 
1	JERUSALEMAfter more than 77 years under constant fire, the neurotransmitters of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's brain could be nearing a truce. 'These endless, often senseless patterns of never-ending discharge must come to an end,' a spokesman for Sharon's neurostructure told reporters. 'Activity has already slowed considerably since the violent blood-clot explosion in his brain earlier this month. We expect a total cessation of cranial nerve firings within two weeks.' Observers are unsure whether the cease-fire will bring peace to Sharon's war-torn cranial region, but they remain guardedly optimistic.

2	OUTRAGE After Obamas Were Caught Red Handed Doing THIS For the past seven years, the Obama have recklessly spent millions of our tax dollars to fund their own lavish lifestyles, from golfing to vacations. Now, for their final summer in the White House, they are planning to spend big once again. The Cape Cod Times reported that Obama will spend his last summer in office relaxing with his family in Marthas Vineyard, which he has done for years. Coast Guard Captain Timothy Tobiasz, the commanding officer of Air Station Cape Cod, told reporters that the first family will probably come back to the area for about three weeks. He added that personnel of Air Station Cape Cod would be responsible for providing support and security during the visit. Still, the White House has yet to officially confirm Obamas summer plans. Its not just a wild guess however. Obama has vacation in Marthas Vineyard for six of his seven years in office, skipping only 2012. He has also received immense criticism for the way he spends his time there, ignoring major world events and tragedies to play golf. What do you think? Do we need the Obamas out of the White House once and for all? 
1	Cynics often say that one man can't make a difference in a huge and complicated world. But this week in New York, a few tremendously rich and powerful men have given those naysayers reason to reconsider their views. At the Republican National Convention, which concludes Thursday, a handful of dedicated men will change the world. An oil magnate from Texas (right) makes a difference at the Republican National Convention. RNC attendee Stewart Malmough is unremarkable at first glance. His name rarely appears in printoutside of the occasional Forbes 100 listand his face isn't one many citizens would recognize. But he wouldn't have it any other way. 'I'm not looking for glory and acclaim,' Malmough said, his face a study in optimism and resolve. 'I just care about this land, and how much of it my children and their children's children will own.' Malmough isn't afraid of hard work. Just last year, he spent countless hours making a covert, trillion-dollar deal among the six major petroleum-producing nations to keep prices and supplies fixed to an optimum standard. 'One must not doubt the ability of a few dedicated wealthy people to alter the course of history,' the billionaire said. 'Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.' Malmough may be one of the few remaining U.S. citizens who truly believe in the American dream. 'The dream of success is available to all of us,' Malmough said, the light of belief shining in his eyes. 'Americans must not lose sight of that.' Malmough is not alone. There are several men like him working, often at the expense of free time and family, for change in the fields of international finance, arms manufacturing, and communications infrastructure. Usually, they work separately, save for the occasional conference call. But, once every four years, this group of driven individuals gathers to dictate the course of American politics. 'The Republican Party has always been blessed with idealists,' Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie said Monday. 'But really, it's a handful of discreet men behind the scenes who drive our party. Whether self-made corporate moguls, inheritors of vast familial wealth, or heirs to decades-old political dynasties, these men and the effects of their contributions cannot be underestimated. They make this world what it is.' Added Gillespie: 'God bless America.' Andre Colbert-McIntyre is a French-born jet-setter who currently holds triple citizenship, a controlling interest in the multinational Brehmar Investment GMbH, and some concrete ideas about globalization. This stalwart man was lucky enough to share breakfast with Vice-President Dick Cheney Monday. 'It's important for our little group to make its voice heard by politicians,' Colbert-McIntyre said. 'If we don't tell the Washington bigwigs to relax labor rights and environmental protections in developing nations, who will?' 
1	The Monongahela West Tarpon, a boy's prep baseball team that has surged to a two-game lead in the Frostproof conference with a remarkable seven-game winning streak since the death of second-string catcher Nathan Bannersly, denied Tuesday that their winning streak had anything do to with honoring Bannersly's memory. 'Wow, I didn't even put the two together, but I guess we have been doing pretty good since that one kid's crash,' pitcher Troy Metz (5-1) said of the teammate whose body was thrown from his Toyota Corolla the night of April 11, killing him instantly. 'His name was Nathan, you said? Because there's this one lady who's been holding up a 'NATHAN' sign at all our games lately. You know, I bet that's, like, his mom.' Other Tarpon players agreed that the coincidence was, in fact, 'kind of weird.' 
2	Womans Life May Be in Danger For Revealing Truth On Sterling, Castile and Obama [VIDEO] For the past week, liberal America has been up in arms about the shootings of black men by police officers. The Black Lives Matter movement has responded by holding protests in several major cities, and violence is escalating across the country. Of course, not all of black America is on board with the protests that are taking place. Many have come out to defend law enforcement, stating that they do not agree with the violent rhetoric against police officers. VaShona Dixon went on Facebook and live-streamed her reaction the police shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota that have been the center of these protests. In the footage, Dixon calls Al Sharpton a racist, labels Obama as a black God and calls Jesse Jackson a race hustler. If you vote for Hillary, youll end up in hell right next to her, Dixon, who is a Trump advocate, concluded. We can almost bet that race baiters are not going to be happy with Dixons message. It completely destroys their narrative. There is no doubt that racism still exists in America, but violence and protests are not the answer to these problems. 
2	Muslims Demand Police Change Uniform Rule So They Can Wear Hijabs On Saturday morning, Kadra Mohamed became the first Somali-American woman to join the St. Paul Police Department. The move follows an announcement from the department that it had come to the controversial conclusion that employees were allowed to wear police-issued hijab. Its nerve-wracking in a way, 21-year-old Mahamed told reporters. I want to be a good role model for others, especially Somali women. Mohamed was recognized in the Western District building at a graduation for youth who completed the East African Junior Police Academy. According to Chief Thomas Smith, St. Paul joins another department as the only ones to allow hijab. Mohamed told reporters that she contacted the police office months ago to learn about becoming an officer, at which time she expressed her concerns about not being able to wear a hijab. Sergeant Tina Kill contacted the police service in Edmonton, Alberta, who already had procedures in place for hijab suitable for duty. This action is part of St. Paul police efforts to recruit within the Somali-American community, an effort which has been in place since 2004. The organization is funded largely by a two-year federal grant, in a whopping $670,000 spent developing mentoring programs with Muslim and Somali communities. Now, if (female Somalis) see her, they will think, What makes her any different than me? claims Intisam Moosa, another academy graduate.

ISIS created by the Big 4 and all other CIA hits or suicide bombs to incite hatred, racial division, cultural devastation and destruction and death. The media is the mouthpiece to inform everyone of the impending doom from the Big 4 sponsored terror activity. They want general worldwide consensus to invade further Mideastern countries like Syria and perform a controlled regime change. The Big 4 created this problem and want us to ask them for the solution. The 21st century and civilization is still devolving thanks to the Big 4 and their egomaniacs/psycho leaders. What has become of the world because of the Big 4? Can you see the horror, fraud, death and destruction that has been incited by the Big 4? Nothing has change except to say things have gotten much worse thanks to the Big 4 and their madmen leaders. Its beyond crazy. They are above the law and who will hold them accountable? Where is the outrage? People are being terrorized thanks to the Big 4 and here in America no one seems to care unless we are talking sports, are playing with our material possessions and demanding instant gratification in all things. Its a sick sick world, and the sickest ones are those that continue to support these criminal cabals that claim to be world leaders. Yes.continue to pay your taxes. Continue to believe the BS on major media. Continue to shop at the mega-corporation stores. Continue to bank at the mega-banks. Continue to buy junk that is, by design, going to fail and continue to waste our valuable resources. Now the government is tellling us vaccines are mandatory. The government is tellling us what is acceptable with regards to personal matters. The government forces you to give your earnings to them for these ridiculous and destructive military operations. The government forces you to spend your money on ridiculously priced healthcare plans. The government is everywhere in our lives and its sickening!! The government is NOT working for youbut BIG Business. They DO NOT care about you. Are you really that blind? Get a clue. Stop putting up with this BS. How can you stand by and let this happen?? Do something. Anything. And in response to undecider.americans are gutless and the guns mean absolutely nothing. Most americans fall into the category of gun collector and nothing more. A majority of americans are weak, government subsidized and incapable of critical thinking. 
2	Reporter Asks Obama Penetrating Question That He Cant Answer Democrats are up in arms this week after Senate Republicans have promised to block any Supreme Court nomination that President Barack Obama attempts to put in Antonin Scalias place. I am amused when I hear people who claim to be strict interpreters of the Constitution suddenly reading into it a whole series of provisions that are not there, Obama commented during a press conference on Tuesday. That is when one reporter stood up and challenged Obama for being a total hypocrite. How do you respond to Republican criticism that your position is undercut by the fact that you and other members of your administration who were in the Senate at the time tried filibuster Judge [Samuel] Alito in 2006? he asked. Obama stumbled over his answer, clearly got off guard. You know the alook, I think whats fair to say is that how judicial nominations have evolved over time is not historically the fault of any single party, Obama replied. This has become just one more extension of politics. And there are times where folks in the Senate, and theyre thinking as I just described primarily about, Is this gonna cause me problems in a primary? Is this gonna cause me problems with supporters of mine? So people take strategic positions, and I understand that. Watch his full response below and tell us what you think. Are you tired of Obama and his hypocrisy? 
2	Vulgar And Racist Anti Obama Rhetoric Inundates Russian Pop Culture According to recent reports, Fox News Bill OReilly recently gained the support of even the left with his support of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Recent polls indicate that nearly 75% of Americans have been critical of Putin, with only 21% having confidence of him. By the same token, Russians have a very dismal outlook on President Obama. In fact, since 2011 faith in Obama has dropped by 30%, landing at just 11% of Russians. This is due, in large part, to propaganda that is being shown in the media and on TV shows. Obama has been clearly painted as a villain. U.S. President Barack Obama started to laugh when asked by The Daily Shows Jon Steward who the U.S. is bombing in the Middle East, a major Russian news agency reported. During his presidency, Obama spent more than 1,100 hours on the golf course, another major Russian tabloid reported. Together with Merkel and Erdogan, Germans called Obama the liar of the year, another tabloid chimed in. What do you think? Is Obama turning America into an embarrassment? 
2	Famous Country Artist New Video: If You Have A Right To Burn My Flag, Then I Have The Right To Kick Your A** Over the past few years, weve seen a jump in the shaming of anyone who demonstrates patriotism by flying the American flag. For reasons we cant comprehend, the flag has been portrayed by the liberal media as a symbol of oppression and hatred, rather than a symbol of freedom. Its not surprising, then, that weve also seen a spike in videos of protesters burning the flag. Like many of us, country artist Creed Fisher has had enough of this madness. So he decided to write a song as a message to all the flag-haters out there. If You Have A Right To Burn My Flag (Then I Have A Right To Kick Youre A$s) was posted to Fishers Facebook account, and it has already reached more than 3 million people.

Frompovich One such email came from Dr Rima E Laibow, MD, the Medical Director of the Natural Solutions Foundation, who offered the foundations Tiny URL consumer action link that will send your comments automatically with one click of the health freedom mouse to your respective members of Congress, the President, your state legislators and governor, and the CDC. The other day I received an email from an attorney in Louisiana who, in part, had this to say, which I think everyone ought to know: It occurs to me that, whatever ones views are on forced vaccinations, there is a constitutional right to refuse medical treatments under the US Supreme Court case of Mills v Rogers, 457 U.S. 291 (1982), because of the liberty and privacy interests in our own bodies, and under many such similar cases thereafter. Also, if vaccines were so safe, why has the special vaccine court awarded over 3 billion dollars in damages due to vaccine injuries to date? [Personal CJF email] I plan on getting back with that attorney to ask if I can network with him on issues, since he said, Dear Ms. Frompovich, Ive read your great research on geoengineering with interest, for years. Thank you, and please keep up your great work! That Louisiana attorney is not the only attorney who thinks there are constitutional issues surrounding forced vaccinations. Id like readers to consider what the District Attorney of Bexar County, Texas, said about vaccines causing autism and that hed be willing to prosecute such a case in this 11 minute video Time is running outOctober 14this the comment closing date. Please make your comment before its too late. ACT NOW! http://TinyURL.com/InformedConsentProtection Resource: Mills v Rogers, 457 U.S. 291 (1982) The Court of Appeals held that the patients interest in avoiding undesired drug treatment generally must be protected procedurally by a judicial determination of incompetency. [Footnote 11] If such a determination were made, further on-the-scene procedures still would be required before antipsychotic drugs could be administered forcibly in a particular instance. Ibid. [Footnote 12] Because the judgment of the Court of Appeals involved constitutional issues of potentially broad significance, [Footnote 13] we granted certiorari. Okin v. Rogers, 451 U.S. 906 (1981) You bet I left my comment! Heard nothing more about it though. I already have stated I would kill any person attempting to detain me. Intelligent anti-vaccine comments seem to be being mysteriously deleted from Disqus across several sites. By whom? And why?

Amazing [VIDEO] This 11-year-old boy made quite the impact when he visited Normandy for the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion. The visit was part of the boys own project called Project Vigil, intended to teach visitors and tourists about three paratroopers who were buried in the American Cemetery. The boy carried an American flag down to the beach and publicly thanked the Americans who died in service almost 70 years earlier. The boy held his salute for more than an hour and a half, while tourists, children, veterans and more came to visit him. Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

3	Two Ways Bird Declines Are Linked to Chemical PesticidesHeather Callaghan Neonicotinoids were always regarded as selective toxins. But our results suggest that they may affect the entire ecosystem, says Hans de Kroon of Radboud University and co-author of a study recently published in Nature journal. Its not just the bees. There are at least two ways that neonicotinoidpesticides dramatically affect the bird population. Neonicotinoids are growing in the world market to become the most widely used pesticides and are often used to treat seeds which makes the entire plant contain the chemical. (Yes, that means it doesnt wash off) This might be useful to the farmer who wishes to target multiple pests such as those that eat roots and others that devour leaves, but that also means pollinators like bees get exposed to contaminated pollen, butterflies to nectar and birds can become immobilized or die after consuming treated seeds. Furthermore, they get into surface water in a variety of ways and build up and persist in the soil for years. CBC News reports: The authors state: Furthermore: While their findings on bird decline linked to neonicotinoids in water and through the unintended eradication of their food source are compelling they stopped short of claiming direct cause. They do however, show that the correlation wasnt a coincidence. They are building a line of evidence and joining up with other scientists who have reported similar findings with other animals. Common explanations such as population changes, crop changes and urbanization did not hold water under their battery of tests. Kroon said: He told BBC: Bayer CropScience, leading maker ofimidaclopridadamantly denied the study findings, emphasizing lack of direct causeand substantiated evidence. In a response, they wrote:Neonicotinoids have gone through an extensive risk assessment which has shown that they are safe to the environment when used responsibly according to the label instructions. This is an all-too-common retort that seems to attempt placing the smoking gun in farmers hands. Lo and behold, Bayer is a part of the consortium funding an upcoming Canada-wide study to discover whats harming the bees. Hint: not their product. After the response from Bayer, they explained that for a direct cause to be determined,they would have to do landscape-scale experiments that would be difficult and probably very unethical. But it is not only environmental chemicals to consider for the bird populations birds are literally losing their way due to overpowering EMF signals. Interestingly, the symptoms of birds caught in EMF waves and the ingestion of neonicotinoid seeds are similar difficulty flying, immobilization. That is what the EPA discovered in 1992 while studying the pesticides effects on birds. This, however, did not lead to any thoughtful halt on the chemical approval before it entered the market. The European Union recently enacted a temporary moritorium on neonicotinoids but not without fierce fighting from theworlds biggest chemical producers including Bayer.

1	According to a study published Monday in Psychological Bulletin, more than 83 percent of suicides take place when an individual is faced with the task of putting a fitted sheet onto a mattress. 'In the majority of these cases, people end their lives after trying in vain to get the short side of the sheet onto the long side of the bed, and at least one-third kill themselves after struggling with the final corner only to realize it is their own body weight preventing the sheet from stretching far enough,' said Johns Hopkins University psychologist Dr. Khalil Mazarhi, adding that suicide victims are usually discovered in close proximity to fitted sheets that are either partially covering a mattress or balled up in a corner of the room. 'The tragic irony of this phenomenon is that a significant number of people will actually use the sheet to hang themselves.' The study concludes with a recommendation that, for personal safety, fitted sheets only be handled when a second person is present. 
3	Behind The Massive Vaccine Scandal in China ... And Dont Think America Is SafeBy Jon Rappoport Time Magazine reports (China Vaccine Scandal Prompts Angry Backlash From Parents and Doctors, 3/22/2016): Furious parents and health care professionals in China are demanding to know how almost $90 million of improperly stored and potentially fatal vaccines were distributed across some two-thirds of the country over the past five years, in the latest public-health scandal to raise serious questions over the efficacy of the Chinese Communist Partys rule. According to state media, a mother and daughter from eastern Chinas Shandong province have been caught peddling 25 kinds of unrefrigerated vaccines including for polio, mumps, rabies, hepatitis B, encephalitis and meningococcal diseases to medical facilities across 24 Chinese provinces since 2010. Inflaming the public backlash, authorities had apparently known about the case since last April, though only publicized the news late Friday in a belated attempt to trace potential victims. Moreover, the elder suspect, a 47-year-old woman surnamed Pang, had apparently been convicted of the same offense in 2009 but only received a suspended sentence. State media admitted the compromised inoculations could have resulted in paralysis and even death. Twenty-four provinces, five years already, and how many children! Its been nearly a year and then they reveal this! Isnt this genocide? Words cannot express how angry I am! posted one user of Chinas Twitter-like microblog Weibo, reports the BBC. This is a matter of life and death, one Beijing-based doctor told Radio Free Asia. They should make an announcement about this as soon as possible so we can locate these items and cut off the supply, so no more people are harmed. Just to show how panicked the vaccine establishment is about the current wave of public awakeningsparked in part by revelations in the movie Vaxxed (trailer)major media cant even keep their stories straight. The NY Times, reporting on the China scandal, and relying on the World Health Organization (a PR front for the vaccine industry) takes an assuring tone (Chinas Vaccine Scandal Threatens Public Faith in Immunizations, 4/18/2016): Despite such fears, the tainted vaccines are more likely to be ineffective than harmfulThe World Health Organization has said that outdated or poorly stored vaccines rarely if ever trigger illness or toxic reactions. Chinese government investigators said last week that they had not found any cases of adverse reactions or spikes in infections linked to ineffective vaccines. Really. Perhaps editors at the NY Times and the World Health Organization would like to prove their faith and confidence by taking shots in the arm of those spoiled vaccines. Besides, here in America, nothing like that could happen. Really? Here are excerpts from a series of articles I wrote, in 2004, about the Chiron disaster, in which a British company shipped millions of tainted flu-vaccine doses to the US. No one in the British or American regulatory system seemed to be overly concerned. Of course, no one really knew whether Chiron vaccines, once they were stored in US warehouses, had already gone out the door to doctors or whether, in a parallel to the current China scandal, sales of those dangerous and illegal vaccines were being made in the US for profit. Rather, the US authorities simply said the millions of doses stored here were outside the legal chain of regulation. The doses were in limbo. They belonged to Chironbut even Chiron was not controlling them. My 2004 excerpts follow. As you read on, notice how the US regulatory system failed, and how it can be failing in the same ways now, under our noses: It turns out that a great deal of the Chiron flu vaccine that was banned and held under lock and key in England WAS ACTUALLY SHIPPED TO THE US, WHERE IT IS NOW SITTING IN DISTRIBUTORS WAREHOUSES. There is one simple question here. When the US government announced this week that Chiron vaccines were unsafe, why didnt they mention that a great deal of the vaccine was already inside the US? Where unscrupulous people could sell it. Will the office of Tommy Thompson, the head of the US Dept. of Health and Human Services, receive ANY calls from mainstream reporters demanding to know why he didnt tell the American people, when he announced the ban on Chirons flu vaccine, that a great deal of that vaccine was ALREADY in the US? I think not. Because I know how lazy or brain-dead most medical reporters are. Only when a story kicks them in the face like a mule do they respond, and then only when its an approved mule. There are lots of implications here. Although it may be standard practice for a vaccine manufacturer to ship out huge numbers of doses to distributors before doing its own final safety check on the vaccine, its insane. The Chiron doses are in the US already. People who work for these US distributors could have already sold off some of the stocks. The SF Chronicle mentions doses were sent from England to the US in July. Why should we assume they have been sitting in warehouses all this time? And now that all Chiron flu vaccine is banned as dangerous, the black market will take over. People at those US warehouses could be making deals with Mexico and South America and Canada and, yes, America, and who knows where else, before all the vials are destroyed. This is a major scandal and health threat in progress, and the US Dept. of Health and Human Services seems to be doing nothing about it. So it is buyer beware. If the buyer is determined to get a flu shot, how is he to know whether it comes from Chiron? What is contaminating Chirons flu vaccine is the serratia bacteria. It is now cited as a cause of pneumonia and infections in hospitals. Remember, when germs in a vaccine are introduced into the body, they are injected, which means that several working portals of immune defense are bypassed through the direct injection route. Ditto for nasal-inhalation. [Chiron vaccines are] sitting in US distributor warehouses, outside the direct control of the company or US [FDA] regulators, according to SFGate.com, the San Francisco Chronicles online outlet. We could be talking about something on the order of 20 million doses So, which flu vaccine are people in the US going to be getting this fall and winter?? The San Francisco Chronicle reports mind-boggling details. Read carefully: The Chronicle has learned that vaccine shipped across the Atlantic has been sitting since August in the warehouses of American drug distributors, under a Chiron-imposed quarantine, but outside the direct control of the company or U.S. regulators. In this case, Chiron employed the little-known quarantine process under which drugmakers can ship products to distributors before final safety tests are completed. [!] Norman Baylor, deputy director for the FDAs vaccine unit, said it was not unusual for manufacturers to ship vaccine under quarantine. The quarantine is lifted by the manufacturer when the companys final tests confirm that the product is safe and the distributor is free to sell it. [Unless the product remains dangerous, because it is dangerous, and it is being sold out the door.] I think the system works, Baylor said in an interview in September shortly after Chirons contamination problem first surfaced. The system did what it was supposed to do. [Yes, it allowed dangerous vaccines in the doorand potentially out the door.] Baylor also confirmed that 27 bulk lots nearly half of the 60 produced by the Chiron plant had been released by the FDA prior to the companys discovery that some finished product was contaminated. The actual number of doses that can be produced from each lot varies. [Released? In other words, unleashed on the American people.] Although the federal agency does not conduct tests on the final product, companies are liable for the safety of their medicines and have powerful incentive to test them thoroughly before releasing them from quarantine, Baylor explained. [I see. Let the companies decide whether their vaccines are safe. No problem. How could there be a problem?] the initial crisis had been triggered when tests detected serratia bacteria in a small number of lots. Serratia bacteria are often implicated in episodes of hospital-acquired infection and can be deadly in the bloodstream. The company has yet to reveal when it discovered the contaminated lots, but having found a problem, Chiron never lifted its quarantine. Although no Chiron vaccine was shipped to clinics, some drug industry experts acknowledge that its presence at multiple U.S. distributor warehouses poses a potential security problem. [Indeed it does.] Because of the shortage, the spot market for flu vaccines is going to go through the roof, said David Webster, a health care consultant in Lehigh Valley, Penn. Any time there is an extremely valuable commodity, the potential exists that it will work its way on to the black market. It is a legitimate cause for concern. But dont worry. These days, in 2016, things are different: meaning the authorities do better PR and propaganda. Although the extremely lax regulations may still be in force, the assurances of safety are broadcast more convincingly. And thats what matters. Its all good. Take your shot. Love your vaccine.

The US drug . big pharma industrial complex. is death and disease. The educated ones do know; however, there are approximately 800,000 to 1 billion ignorant peasants who dont and dont care. Vaccines are the weapon of choice for the gold collar scum that own the world. btw; goz perfect. Yes, different diseases are caused by all the toxins in our environment, from agro chemicals, Glyphosate and others, to heavy metals in vaccines. I just recently listened to an online cancer webinar where medical doctors explained that herbicides and pesticides cause cancer. I shop organic but I was hoping FL would finally have medical cannabis oil available so I could try to heal from 10 yrs of chronic pain and muscle spasms, but now I found out the FL politicians ordered all state authorized growers to grow the cannabis with pesticides!!! The oil is mainly approved for children with brain seizures, but also a few other health problems. Now the children taking this cannabis oil will get rid of seizures but die from cancer! I also listened to an online webinar about autism where a speaker stated that it is NOT necessary to eat only organic. I about died! What an id.ot! Herbicides and pesticides affect the brain, thats why kids have autism! Then I found out this stup.d woman works for a company selling nutrition powders made out of NON organic veggies, so of course she would make such a statement! There is so much corruption everywhere! It is insane! Despite such fears, the tainted vaccines are more likely to be ineffective than harmfulThe World Health Organization has said that outdated or poorly stored vaccines rarely if ever trigger illness or toxic reactions. Chinese government investigators said last week that they had not found any cases of adverse reactions or spikes in infections linked to ineffective vaccines. No evidence, not a shred, is presented to refute these assertions. Where is the evidence? Journalism is based on evidence; propaganda is based on emotions like inciting fear, which overrules rational thinking. Did he say that we should protect people who are determined to take vaccines??? If they are determined to harm themselves then for heavens sake let thembuyer beware. I am concerned about the children being forced to accept vaccinations These two women and others have most likely been paid by the banksters to commit this genocide crime for their depopulation agenda in China. Just as from the 1989 Tienanmen Square incident to the QM train station slaughter and HK occupy central were all funded and arranged by the covert agency. Wow, Next they will be saying their drinking water has lead in it. The educated ones do know; however, there are approximately 800 millions to 1 billion ignorant peasants who dont know and dont care. Everything handled to big pharma become a hoax Science is bended 90 degree in front of capitalism 
2	Mike Rowe Absolutely Destroys Race Baiter News Host... Amazing [VIDEO] At the end of October, MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry came under fire after slamming a Latino Republican guest for calling House Speaker Paul Ryan as a hard worker. Apparently, Harris-Perry thinks the term hard worker can only be applied to former black slaves. In the context of relative privilege, Harris-Perry commented, when you talk about work-life balance, the moms who dont have health care arent called hard workerswe call them failures, we call them people who are sucking off the system. Now, Mike Rowe is responding to her commentsand hes not holding back. Melissa Harris-Perry appears to be put off by the suggestion that hard work is too often linked with success, he wrote on Facebook. She doesnt like the fact that many hard-working individuals have not enjoyed the same measure of success as Speaker Ryan, who was being acknowledged on her show for his excellent work ethic. Watch her comments below and tell us what you think. 
1	Acknowledging this year's World Series lacks a compelling team and any real sense of drama, Fox rolled out ads for its coverage this week using the tagline 'We're Not Any Happier About This Than You Are.' 'You don't have to tell us what a disappointment this is. We wasted hundreds of millions of dollars on the rights to broadcast up to seven games between two unlovable, unspectacular teams from moribund markets,' Fox announcer Joe Buck says in one ad. 'But it's going in the record books as a World Series. So if you're a baseball fan, you're pretty much obliged to watch Fox.' To better reflect the current series, a line used in previous postseason advertisements, 'Legends Are Born in October,' has been reworked to 'A Series of Bullpen Arms Will Be Shuttled in and out to Get Favorable Matchups in October.' 
3	Are We On The Verge Of Witnessing The Death Of The Paper Gold Scam?Michael Snyder So what happens when their physical gold is gone but they still have lots and lots of people with legal claims to gold? When that moment arrives, it will represent the end of the paper gold scam. Many believe that the recent takedown of the price of paper gold was a desperate attempt by the bankers to put off that day of reckoning, but it appears to have greatly backfired on them. Instead of cooling off demand for precious metals, it has unleashed a massive gold rush all over the globe. Meanwhile, word has been spreading among wealthy families in both North America and Europe that they had better grab their physical gold out of the banks while they still can. This is creating havoc in the financial community, and at least one major international bank has already declared that it will only be settling those accounts in cash from now on. The paper gold scam is starting to unravel, and by the time this is all over it is going to be a complete and total nightmare for global financial markets. For years it has been widely known that the promises that banks have made regarding their gold far exceed their actual ability to deliver, but we have never reached a moment of such crisis before. Posted below are quotes from people that know precious metals far better than I do. What these experts are saying is more than a little bit disturbing Billionaire Eric Sprott: So we see all of these paper (trading) volumes going through that bear absolutely no relationship to whats going on in the physical markets. As you know I have always been a proponent of the fact that supply in the gold market was way less than demand, and by a very large factor. I think demand exceeds supply by at least 60%. The central banks are surreptitiously supplying that gold, and ultimately they will be running on fumes. When we hear about the LBMA not willing to deliver gold, and JP Morgans inventories at the COMEX have gone from 2.4 million (ounces) down to 160,000 ounces, it just makes you realize that all of this paper trading means nothing. Its the real physical market that you have to rely on. JS Kim: FACT #1: COMEX gold vaults were recently drained of 2 million ounces of physical gold in one quarter, the largest withdrawal of physical gold bullion from COMEX vaults in one quarter during this entire 12-year gold and silver bull. There has been speculation about the reasons that spurred these massive withdrawals of gold from COMEX vaults, but the most reasonable speculation is that no one trusts the bankers to hold on to their physical gold anymore, especially in light of Fact #2. Note below, that both registered AND eligible stocks of gold had heavily declined in recent months. Such an event signals a general distrust of the banking system from everyone holding gold in registered COMEX vaults. FACT #2: One of the largest European banks, ABN Amro, defaulted on their gold contracts and informed their clients that they would only settle their gold bullion contracts in cash and not in physical. So much for the supposed legality of financial contracts as a binding contract. So whether Fact #1 caused Fact #2 or vice versa is irrelevant. What IS apparent is that the level of trust in bankers to safekeep physical gold and physical silver is disappearing, as it should be, and as it should have already been for years now. But truth always takes some time to catch up to banker spread lies and that is what is happening now. I have been warning people never to trust bankers in deals involving gold and silver for years now, as in this article I wrote nearly four years ago informing the public that the SLV and GLD are likely a banker invented scam as well. FACT #3: Silver fraud whistleblower and London trader Andrew Maguire stated that the LBMA was having trouble settling gold contracts in bullion as well and stated that institutions that asked for physical settlement were told they would be cash settled instead by a bullion bank. In plain English, this is a default. So Andrew Maguire reported that the LBMA had already gone into default. In light of Fact #1 and Fact #2, the dominoes were starting to tumble and the house of cards that the bankers had built in gold and silver paper derivatives to deceive and hide the true fundamentals of the physical gold and physical markets from the entire world was rapidly starting to crumble. A financial earthquake of magnitude 2.5 was quickly threatening to evolve into one of the biggest financial earthquakes of all time in which the worlds confidence in all global fiat currencies would effectively have a well-deserved funeral. Jim Sinclair: I think the reality is the supply situation is extremely volatile at this point, and even discussing it is like rubbing a raw nerve to the people who are in charge. The amount of discussion on the subject of warehouse supply, supply that is represented by the gold leases, indicated to the central planners that the demand for physical was going to continue to effect the exchanges. Although they did not expect any grandstand delivery, the mere continued draining of physical inventories was threatening the very functioning of the paper exchange. That threatening of the paper exchange and its ability to continue functioning is really taking off the blinders and revealing the truth behind the critical question, Where is the gold? The question now is, Where has the gold gone? Who has all of this gold? Because of the nature of gold leasing, all of this gold has been purchased and it has gone somewhere. The reality of the empty vaults reveal that the gold has gone missing. Ronald Stoeferle: Were seeing this rush to physical gold not only in the retail market, but also for the institutional players[its] just overwhelmingI [estimate] a 130-to-1 [ratio of paper to physical gold]and I think in the last week we were really close to [triggering] a default of the paper market. Gerhard Schubert, head of Precious Metals at Emirates NBD: I have not seen in my 35 years in precious metals such a determined and strong global physical demand for gold. The UAE physical markets have been cleared out by buyers from all walks of life. The premiums, which have been asked for and which have been paid have been the cornerstone of the gold price recovery. It is very rare that physical markets can have a serious impact on market prices, which are normally driven solely by derivatives and futures contracts I did speak during the week with several refineries in the world, of course including the UAE refineries, and the waiting period for 995 kilo bars is easily 2-3 weeks and goes into June in some cases. A large portion of the 995 kilo bars in the UAE goes normally into the Indian market, but a lot of the available 995 kilo bars are destined for Turkey, at this time. We heard that premiums paid in Turkey have reached anything between US $ 20 and US $ 35 per ounce. James Turk: Another indication of the demand for large bars is the huge drawdown in the gold stock in COMEX warehouses. It is noteworthy that COMEX reports show the drawdown is largely the result of dealers removing their inventory, their working stock. When that happens, you know the availability of supply is constrained. What all of this means, Eric, is one thing. If the central planners want to keep the precious metals at these low prices, to meet the demand for physical metal they will need to empty more metal from central bank vaults, or borrow metal from the ETFs as some have suggested is happening. Otherwise, the central planners will have to step back and stop their intervention, thereby letting the price of gold and silver rise so that demand tapers off, bringing demand and supply of physical metal back toward some kind of balance. Weve seen this same situation several times over the last twelve years. It is what I have been calling a managed retreat. Despite the current weakness, I firmly believe we have again entered a critical period where the central planners will need to retreat once again in order to let the gold and silver prices climb higher. The Golden Truth: And then I get a call from a close friend in NYC last Friday. His career has been in private wealth management in the private bank department of the Too Big To Fail banks. Hes been looking for work and chats with old colleagues all the time. He called my Friday and told me he just got off the phone with a very high level private banker from a big Euro-based TBTF bullion bank, but who was at JP Morgan until about six months ago. This guy told my friend that there is a scramble by many very wealthy European families/entities to get their 400 oz bars out of the big bank vaults. He knows this personally, for a fact. He said the private banker community is small over there and the big wealthy families all talk to each other and act on the same rumors/sentiment. The Bundesbank/Fed and the ABN/Amro situations triggered this move. He knows for a fact JPM tried to calm fears about 3 months ago by sending a letter to its very wealthy clients assuring them their bars were safe, in allocated accounts. He said right now those same families are walking into the big banks like JPM and demanding delivery of their bars or threatening to take their $100s of millions in investment portfolios to competitors. His wording was these people are putting a gun to the heads of private banks and demanding their gold. I know this information is good because I know my friends background and when he tells me his source is plugged in, the guy is plugged in. Not only that, my friends source said that theres no doubt that someone like a John Paulson, not necessarily specifically him, but entities like him or it may include him, have held a gun to GLD and demanded delivery of physical in exchange for their shares. Regarding the Bundesbank/Fed situation, recall that the Bundesbank asked to have some portion of its gold sitting supposedly in the NY Fed vault in NYC sent back Germany. The total amount is 1800 tonnes. After behind the scenes negotiations, the Fed agreed to ship 300 tonnes back over seven years. To this day, the time required for that shipment has never been explained. Venezuela demanded the return of its 200 tonnes held in London, NYC and Switzerland and received it all within about four months. And regarding the ABN/Amro situation. ABN/Amro offered a gold investment account product that offered physical delivery of the gold in the investment account when the investor cashes out. About a week before the gold price smash, ABN sent a letter to its clients informing that the physical delivery of the bullion was no longer available and that all accounts would be settled with cash at redemption. ***** So what does all of this mean? It means that we are entering a period when there will be unprecedented volatility for precious metals. There will be tremendous ups and downs as this crisis plays out and the bankers try to keep the paper gold scam from completely unraveling. Meanwhile, nations such as China continue to stockpile gold as if the end of the world was coming. According toZero Hedge, Chinese gold imports set a brand new all-time record high in March Quite the contrary: as export data released by the Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department overnight showed, Chinese gold imports in March exploded to an all time record high of 223.5 tons. And the number for April is expected to be even higher. Does China know something that the rest of us do not? We are also seeing a rapid decoupling between spot prices and physical prices. In fact, it is quickly getting to the point where the spot price of gold and the spot price of silver are becoming irrelevant. For example, demand for silver coins has become so intense that some dealers are charging premiums of up to 30 percent over spot price for silver eagles. That would have been regarded as insane a few years ago, but people are now willing to pay these kinds of premiums. People are recognizing the importance of actually having physical gold and silver in their possession and they are willing to pay a significant premium in order to get it. We are moving into uncharted territory. The paper gold scam is rapidly coming to an end. In the long term, this will greatly benefit those that are holding significant amounts of physical gold and silver. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

Phelan This action is planned to draw attention to the breakdown of the rule of law in the courtroom of Judge Michael Welch, probate judge for SB County. The action is timed to coincide with a hearing in the Conservatorship of Lois Risse, wherein the conservator is seeking to overturn a twenty-eight-year-old deed of sale in order to return the property into the conservatorship, so that the conservator can get a reverse mortgage to pay for her services. Clearly, if a deed of sale, executed decades ago and duly recorded, can be overturned because the seller is now under a conservatorship and the conservator wishes access to the property value for her own enrichment, then no property, anywhere, is safe and no deed of sale can be considered final. All concerned about the breakdown of rule of law and also issues relevant to the economy and property are invited to attend. Bring your picket sign! Tell your friends!

1	Saying they were taking a deep breath and steeling themselves for the melodramatic public wailing and mass-scale processions they might soon have to engage in, sources confirmed Monday that the people of North Korea were already mentally preparing for whatever insane bullshit they will be made to do for Kim Jong-uns state funeral. Now that Dear Leader hasnt been seen in 40 days, I guess its probably time to start getting myself ready to circle in lockstep with thousands of others around a 50-foot bronze bust of him for several hours while crying his name in anguish, or something like that, said Pyongyang resident Bahn Lee, echoing the sentiments of his 25 million countrymen, all of whom were reportedly bracing themselves for the possibility of being forced to tear at their clothing, theatrically fall to their knees, and then be supported by bystanders as they each took their turn walking past Kims glass casket. I just have to get into the right state of mind now for when Im called on to stand motionless in the cold holding a banner bearing the Supreme Leaders face while sorrowfully chanting his virtues in unison with thousands of others. Yeah, I think I can handle that kind of stuff for the official three-year mourning period. At press time, the nations populace was trying to mentally work themselves up to don their official mourning jumpsuits and participate in a countrywide somber dance routine. 
1	Following professional basketball player Jason Collins revelation that he is a homosexual, making him the first active player in a major American team sport to come out as gay, ESPN analyst Chris Berman reportedly loudly weighed in on the groundbreaking story Tuesday. Ah! screamed SportsCenter viewer David Nichols, putting his hands over his ruptured eardrums as Berman thunderously bellowed about Collins becoming the first openly gay NBA player. What? Hello? Oh my God, I cant hear my voice! I cant hear my voice! According to sources, Bermans blaring rhetoric on Collins was the broadcasters most deafening since his 2009 discourse on whether Alex Rodriguezs alleged steroid use would prevent him from entering the Hall of Fame blew out every single pane of glass on the Eastern Seaboard.

'Go ahead, Jonpick whatever you like,' Weber said as the entire table gazed at Brendemuehl in sympathy. 'See, you got a higher score than all of useven my dad, who once bowled a 300 gameand now you get to eat whatever kind of pizza you want. This is fun, hey?' Witnesses report Brendemuehl smiled weakly and ordered pepperoni. 
2	ExAccording to recent reports, a former member of the Berkeley Black Panther Party is in serious dangerous after comments he made about President Barack Obama during a recent interview. Barack Obama hates America, Clarence Mason Weaver, who was once filled with hate and resentment, told reporters. His job is to divide by differences and manage our differences. He has done nothing but drive us apart. He hates America. It doesnt matter what color the pimp, the drug dealer, the con artist is. These words are coming from a man who once hated white people so much that he broke up with a girlfriend because she owned a white dog. His views on the matter shifted dramatically when a racist man tried to kill him because of his skin color in 1971. Instead of firing back, weaver decided to change the course of his life. What would happen in black America if we forgave, real or imagined, the wrongs that we have? Weaver asked. What would happen is healing, progress and success with family reunification. But instead many black Americans have chosen a path of resentment instead and now align themselves with Black Lives Matter. Partially to blame, Weaver argues, is liberalism. Liberalism is slaveryalways has been and always will be, he concluded. What do you think of Weavers comments? 
1	The high quality and enduring value of the new 2007 Honda Accord has inspired roots-rock veteran John Mellencamp to write a stirring hymn about the working-class nation of Japan. 'Oh, you noble land of the rising sun/Where discipline and duty are still number one,' Mellencamp sings in the video for 'Buddha On The Highway,' in which he is seen playing his guitar on the hood of a bright orange Accord parked in a terraced rice paddy. 'There's a place in Nihon for me and you/I was born in Hokkaido and I'll die there, too.' Mellencamp has reportedly begun work on a follow-up song telling the story of Hideo and Mariko, two Okinawan kids doing the best they can, who lose their jobs when Honda closes down the local plant and moves operations to Marysville, OH. 
1	Calling it a great opportunity for viewers to see some lesser-known talent, event organizers confirmed this week that local Los Angeles-area awards show the SoCal Music Honors will open for the Grammys Sunday night. With their high-energy celebration of performers in the greater Los Angeles County area, the SoCal Music Honors are expected to kick off the night with a lively show hosted by some real rising stars in the music-awards scene, said David Fricke of Rolling Stone, adding that the recently formed event will have a tight 40-minute window to perform their show before roadies wheel away their equipment from the main stage and begin setting up for the Grammys. Obviously, most of the audience will be here for the Grammys and probably wont arrive until the tail end of the SoCals, but this will still be an incredible chance for these up-and-coming hosts and presenters to gain national exposure. Who knows, one day we might even see some of these same guys handing out trophies at the Grammys, or even the Billboards. Fricke noted that the SoCals were actually a last-minute replacement after the awards show originally signed to open, the Santa Monica Indies, abruptly disbanded. 
2	Crazy Liberal Targets Her Gun Owning Neighbor, Plan Backfires [VIDEO] When Kimberly Edson, an avid anti-gun activist, discovered that her neighbor was a registered gun owner, she took it upon herself to take action. Unfortunately, the action that took place wasnt exactly what she was looking for. Matthew Halleck, Edsons neighbor, is a father who complies with state regulations regarding his second amendment right. Unfortunately, he became the victim of Edsons efforts. Edson distributed a picture of Halleck walking his daughter to school with the caption, This man carries a loaded fun around your children every day. She also made the decision to notify police. Authorities informed her that Halleck was within his rights to be carrying a concealed firearm. Since we dont have a way to stop him, we felt it was important to notify the neighborhood and that there is an armed man in their presence, Edson told reporters. Despite the unprovoked actions against him, Halleck has stayed calm. If it heightens the awareness for folks out there that are confident enough, and see the changes in the world to add an extra layer of protection, I encourage people to do it, Halleck told reporters. What do you think of Edsons actions? How would you react? 
1	After their owners inadvertently left them behind in Yellowstone National Park, Louie, a 4-year-old golden retriever, and Nipsy, a 3-year-old longhair cat, were killed within minutes of beginning their heartwarming journey home, sources reported Monday. 'It looks like right after leaving the campsite they fell off a cliff and died upon impact with the highway below,' park ranger Ken Hinkley said after discovering their barely recognizable bodies, which had been partially eaten by a cougar the pair likely would have outsmarted with adorably clever teamwork had they survived. 'After that, it appears their carcasses were run over by a tractor-trailer, probably operated by a gruff but kindhearted truck driver who no doubt would have given them a lift. Poor little guys. Had to toss 'em in a ditch.' Louie and Nipsy's family reportedly gave up hope immediately, and have already purchased a new kitten and puppy whom they love very much. 
3	Gun Violence Nearly Doubled in Chicago Over the Past YearBy Joshua Krause According to CNN, 141 people were murdered in Chicago during the first three months of the year, which is 71.9% higher than the 82 people who were killed in the same time frame last year. Even more astonishing for a city that prides itself on tackling guns, is the fact that shootings during the first three months of the year have gone up 88.5%, from 359 in 2015, to 677 in 2016. In other words, gun violence has nearly doubled over the past year. CNN interviewed several residents in Chicago about the explosion in violence, and they all seemed to blame it on the economy. If you really want to stop this epidemic of violence, the best way to stop a bullet is with a job explained one resident. While there is certainly merit to that, the economy isnt the sole contributing factor to violence. In fact, all crime rates declined in the United States following the crash of 2008. Maybe its time for the city to admit that making it easier to own and carry a weapon would also alleviate their horrendous crime rates.

1	Takashi Miyazawa, 16, an exchange student from Nagoya spending six months in Bettendorf, was given the opportunity to experience authentic Japanese cuisine Monday, when host mother Bobbie Tucker arranged a visit to Edo, a restaurant in nearby Davenport. The Japanese restaurant to which Miyazawa (inset) was taken. 'The Eagle [Food Center] has take-out sushi, but I didn't think there was a place you could sit down for a genuine Japanese meal,' Tucker said Monday. 'But as I was reading the paper Sunday, I happened to notice an ad for Edo. I knew Takashi would be so thrilled.' The outing marked the first time any of the Tuckers had eaten Japanese food and Miyazawa's 18,358th. 'I just knew Takashi would love Edo,' Tucker said. 'The walls were decorated with all sorts of beautiful fans and paintings that reminded him of home. Takashi said Edo is the former name of Tokyo, which is the capital of Japan.' Added Tucker: 'It was expensive, considering the portions, but it's worth it if it makes Takashi feel more at home. We already love him.' While youngest son Derrick, 14, steered clear of 'anything raw' at the restaurant, ordering the chicken-teriyaki platter, the other Tuckers were fairly adventurous. In addition to sushi and sashimi, they sampled miso soup, edamame, and seaweed salad. 'I've always wanted to try sushi,' said father Bill Tucker, 51. 'Now I can say I did.' Midway through the meal, Bill asked the restaurant's owners, Makoto and Midori Furukawa, to come over and personally greet their countrymate. Said Bill: 'The two owners, who moved here from Japan three years ago, came over and talked to our honored guest in Japanese for a few minutes. Takashi must have been so thrilled.' Miyazawa, who arrived in Bettendorf last Wednesday, exchanged a few awkward sentences with the Furukawas in his native tongue. 'I told them they had a very nice restaurant, and that the food was very good,' Miyazawa explained. 'They welcomed me to America and wished me a safe and pleasant stay here. That was pretty much it. Mr. Tucker encouraged me to keep talking to them in Japanese if I wanted, but I said it wasn't necessary.' After dinner, the Tuckers and Miyazawa headed to Davenport's NorthPark Mall. Miyazawa spent two hours happily browsing such stores as the Gap, Musicland, and Electronics Boutiqueuntil Bobbie pulled him into a store called Oriental Gifts. Miyazawa said he hopes he can convince his host parents to bring him back to NorthPark Mall to see Blade II at the adjoining multiplex. For now, he will have to settle for the 'movie night' Bobbie has planned for Saturday. 'Mrs. Tucker is forcing me to sit down with the family and watch something called Gung Ho,' Miyazawa said. 'She said it's 'a very funny movie that uses comedy to point out the differences between our two cultures.' I wish we could rent The Fast And The Furious instead.' Miyazawa, Bobbie said, has 'adjusted beautifully' to his new surroundings. She added that the transition has been eased by her own efforts to lessen his culture shock. 'As soon as we got home from the airport, I went through the house explaining to Takashi how various household appliances work,' Bobbie said. 'I told him, 'I want you to feel completely comfortable here, so don't feel embarrassed about asking me how to operate something.'' Bobbie said she also pointed out the family's Sony TV, Panasonic stereo, and various other Japanese products. Said Bobbie: 'I told him, 'Even halfway around the world, there's still a little bit of Japan right here in Iowa.'' Last Wednesday, as Miyazawa was getting ready for his first night's sleep in the house, Bobbie apologized for not having a traditional Japanese sleeping mat. Showing him his twin bed, she offered to find him 'more traditional bedding' should he desire it. 'She was being so nice about everything, I didn't have the heart to tell her I don't sleep on the floor at home,' Miyazawa said. 'I also don't need her to explain what a bagel is, but she seems to enjoy helping me.' Miyazawa was equally patient when Bobbie suggested he call her 'youbo.' 'I didn't understand what she was saying at first,' Miyazawa said. 'But after she said it four or five times, I realized she was saying 'mother' in Japanese. That was nice. Mrs. Tucker is very kind to me. I always make sure never to laugh at her.' 
1	In a series of baffling events during the summer of 1839, obsessive freak Abner Doubleday reportedly coerced locals into participating in a preposterous game that featured nonsensical elements such as 'plates,' 'mounds,' 'bases,' 'balls,' 'bats,' 'gloves,' 'fair and foul territories,' and the scoring of 'runs' instead of points. 'While those forced to take part in this strange diversion viewed Doubleday as a peculiar fellow, they were even more perplexed by the bizarre game itself,' local observer William Moore noted in his journal, adding that many players simply walked off the field when Doubleday attempted to explain the tag-up rule and the balk. 'Participants found it difficult to comprehend how a recreational activity could involve standing in one place for such extended periods of time. And this business about a 'strike' meaning you failed to hit the ball confused and angered many.' According to later entries in Moore's journal, participants finally began to enjoy playing the nonsensical game when, after weeks of frustration, they started using the long wooden sticks to tag out base runners. 
1	Days after being admitted to the clinics intensive care unit, physicians at Greenwich Hospital relayed Thursday the improving condition of Invictus Mutual Funds CEO Charles Latham, 67, a man whose grand delusion of self-importance is the only thing keeping him alive at this point, doctors confirmed. While Mr. Latham is suffering from a severe bout of pneumonia that in most cases would be classified as terminal, his unparalleled egomania has enabled him to fight off the infection, said pulmonary disease specialist Dr. Henry Calhoun, who admitted he had never before seen such an inflated sense of self-worth in a patient. Though the bacteria has spread to both of his lungs, thanks to Mr. Lathams all-consuming arrogance and belief that he was placed here on earth to achieve greatness, he continues to evade death. Its truly remarkable. Honestly, a less self-absorbed man wouldnt have made it through that first night, Calhoun added. According to hospital records, Latham was brought to the ICU in a critical state, suffering from a high fever and experiencing trouble breathing, which in most cases are symptoms of an impending cardiovascular collapse. However, doctors say that the third-generation investment scion, whose net worth is pegged at $850 million, has since stabilized, largely due to Lathams vision of himself as some kind of omnipotent captain of industry who isnt subject to the laws of man. Though he remains on a respirator and under constant supervision, medical staff emphasized that they were amazed that Latham easily beat his grim prognosis thanks to his incredible will to live and sincerely held belief that he is the smartest, most dynamic man alive. Sources confirmed he beat lung cancer two years ago with hubris alone. When we first admitted the patient, I really didnt think he would pull through, but it turns out he has this incredible, bloated sense of stature that has kept him going through the worst of it, said nurse Marisa Rogers, who claimed she had only previously come across such narcissism in medical textbooks. Within Mr. Lathams pneumonia-wracked body, theres a powerful enduranceand this ridiculous perception of himself as some kind of superhuman figurethats allowing him to hold on. Hes a fighter, Rogers continued. And a psychotic megalomaniac who sincerely believes he cant and shouldnt die. The fact that hes able to convince himself that it wasnt his fault for losing $250 million last year allowed him to survive fairly invasive surgery. Though doctors say Latham can expect to remain in the hospital for another several days, they maintain that their expectations for the overconfident egotist are unusually optimistic. Normally, at his age, in his deteriorating physical condition, you would say its only a matter of time before his poor health habits catch up to him, but Ive got a feeling his overwhelming pride and self-satisfaction can beat back any illness, said Calhoun, who claimed that Lathams high blood pressure and history of heart disease would be a death sentence for a well-adjusted individual. As long as he keeps believing that he deserves everything he has and that nothing can stop him, hes going to be all right. Honestly, I wouldnt be surprised if he lived to 100, the son of a bitch, Calhoun added. 
2	NEWS ALERT: Federal Judge Gives Hillary DEVASTATING News According to recent reports, a federal district court judge just ruled that Mrs. Clintons entire email server could be subpoenaed by the United States government. Criticisms of the former Secretary of State have escalated due to the increasing amount of emails uncovered by FBI investigators, and the climbing number of those emails that were deemed classified at the time. The documents that have been turned over contain some very sensitive information about our national security, and Judge Emmet Sullivan claims that the fact that she secluded it to only her use. How on earth can the court conclude there is not at minimum a reasonable suspicion of bad faith, Sullivan argued. At a recent CNN town hall forum appearance, Clinton was asked about her involvement with her private email server and what it could mean for her campaign. I know there are challengers about what the State Department did or did not dothat will all be worked out, she commented. Its just not something that is going to have a lasting effect. And I am not at all worried about it. The facts are that every single time someone has hurled those charge against meits proved to be nothing and this is no different than that, she continued. What do you think? Has Clinton simply mastered the art of lying? 
1	In a tragedy none have struggled to comprehend, a group of 12 schoolchildren on a whale-watching trip died in a perfectly logical manner Tuesday when their boat capsized one hour into its voyage. 'How something like this could have happenedit's completely imaginable,' said Coast Guard captain Don Broyard, addressing a group of reporters who were immediately able to make sense of the terrible disaster. 'The way the unstable boat overturned, the powerlessness of the small children to fight against the current, the quick flooding of water into their lungsthe whole thing is so well within reason.' Capt. Broyard added that the state coroner would be more than happy to give parents still uncertain of how the tragedy happened a detailed, step-by-step explanation of every fatal injury.

1	Archaeologists excavating a 1.5-million-year-old Homo erectus habitation site this week unearthed the strongest evidence to date that early humans first used fire to impress their friends. Based on the locations and prevalence of burn marks at the site, we can infer that fire was initially utilized by early humans to show off in front of one another, typically by leaping over a flaming pit or passing their hands quickly back and forth across the flame of a burning log, said Boston University researcher Benjamin Shostick, adding that the discovery supports the hypothesis that setting a grassy plain ablaze to crack up friends was an important part of hominid culture long before fire was used for cooking and warmth. The evidence indicates that early man quite possibly vocalized a loud, confident grunt to a gathering of friends and then tossed a fiery piece of wood into the air and attempted to catch it, and oftentimes poked at unsuspecting buddies with the end of a smoldering branch for the groups amusement. Researchers also found fossilized footprints in a circle pattern and numerous charred bones, which likely suggest that early man got big laughs after accidentally setting himself on fire. 
3	Palestinian Children as Young as 12 Can Now Be Legally Imprisoned by IsraelBy James Holbrooks The new law, passed by legislators as the Youth Bill, allows authorities to imprison a minor convicted of serious crimes such as murder, attempted murder or manslaughter even if he or she is under the age of 14, the Knesset said in a press release. But the originator of the bill, Anat Berko, was quoted in that same statement as saying that for those who are murdered with a knife in the heart it does not matter if the child is 12 or 15. The laws passage was immediately criticized, even at home. Rather than sending them to prison, Israel would be better off sending them to school where they could grow up in dignity and freedom, not under occupation, Israeli human rights group BTselem said in a statement, adding that,Imprisoning such minors denies them the chance of a better future. The revelation comes at the same time the United Nations Security Council slammed Israel for its treatment of children in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Venezuelas ambassador to the U.N., Rafael Ramirez, for instance, stated that Israel denies Palestinian children their status as minors, and subjects them to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. Violence between Palestinians and the IDF the Israel Defense Forces has seen a sharp increase since the tail end of 2015 in the Israeli-occupied territories of Gaza, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights. Concurrently, the number of Palestinian children detained by the IDF has reached record numbers, according to an April report by human rights group Defense for Children International Palestine. According to the DCIP report, for instance, three-quarters of detained children spoke of physical abuse while in custody, and in nearly 90 percent of cases, parents werent informed of where their children had been taken. The DCIP findings echo those of UNICEF, who in 2013 published a report which concluded that ill-treatment of Palestinian children in the Israeli military detention system appears to be widespread, systematic and institutionalized. In June, a group of 20 concerned Congressman sent a letter to President Obama urging the administration to send a special envoy to Palestine in order to grasp the full scope of the suffering of children under the occupation. Noting that nearly half of the population in the Occupied Palestinian Territories is under the age of 18, the letter states this enormous youth cohort represents another generation of Palestinian children growing up under military occupation with very few opportunities to improve their lives. Apart from the military campaigns Israel periodically wages against Palestine in purported self-defense, much of Palestinian antipathy is rooted in the settler movement, which sees homes and lands razed in the West Bank and Gaza to allow for new domiciles for Israeli citizens. This activity was found to wholly illegal by the International Court of Justice in 2004, which concluded in its report that Israeli settlements in Palestine violate one of the Geneva conventions and thus have been established in breach of international law. The U.N. came to similar conclusions in its own 2013 report. Writes The Guardian: All settlement activity in occupied territory must cease without preconditions and Israel must immediately initiate a process of withdrawal of all settlers, said the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC). Israel, it said, was in violation of article 49 of the fourth Geneva convention, which forbids the transfer of civilian populations to occupied territory. The U.N. warned Israel it could face charges at the International Criminal Court if it failed to comply, but has since done nothing in the way of enforcement. In the meantime, the destruction of Palestinian homes and businesses continues. As recently as a month ago, the Israeli government approved funding for more settlements. Despite condemnation from international bodies and human rights groups for the wars, the treatment of Palestinian youth, the illegal settlements, and, indeed, the occupation itself the United States continues to support Israel both financially and militarily. The U.S. already gives Israel $3 billion a year in security aid, but as of February, Israel is seeking to up that amount to $5 billion. In July, the White House offered to substantially increase the military aid package to Israel, which already stands at around $30 billion. The bump would bring that number closer to $40 billion making it the largest pledge of military assistance to any country in U.S. history. This doesnt sit well with everyone, however even some among Israels supporters. Greg Slabodkin, former researcher for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), recently wrote a piecefor The Hill in which he shares his thoughts on how the relationship between the United States and Israel should move forward. U.S. aid to the Jewish state should be tied to progress in the peace process and respect for Palestinian human rights, he said. And he closed the article by stating: The Obama administration should make it clear that there are strings attached to U.S. aid and that Israels failure to comply with a settlement freeze will have financial consequences.

3	The Stock Market Crash Of 2016: Stocks Have Already Crashed In 6 Of The Worlds 8 Largest EconomiesBy Michael Snyder In general, there have been three major waves of financial panic over the past 12 months. Late last August we saw the biggest financial shaking since the financial crisis of 2008, then in January and February there was an even bigger shaking, and now a third wave has begun in June. Not all areas around the globe have been affected equally by each wave, but without a doubt this new financial crisis is a global phenomenon. The charts that I am about to show you come from Trading Economics. It is an absolutely indispensable website that is packed full of useful data, and I encourage everyone to check it out. Lets talk about China first. The Chinese economy is the second largest on the entire planet, and since this time last year Chinese stocks are down an astounding 40 percent As things have started to unravel in China, the Chinese have been selling off U.S. debt and U.S. stocks like crazy. The following comes fromBloomberg The Peoples Bank of China, owner of the worlds biggest foreign-exchange reserves, burnt through 20 percent of its war chest since 2014, dumping about $250 billion of U.S. government debt and using the funds to support the yuan and stem capital outflows. While Chinas sales of Treasuries have slowed, its holdings of U.S. equities are now showing steep declines. Unfortunately for China, their economy just continues to slow down, and George Soros is so alarmed by this and a potential Brexit that he has been selling off stocks and buying enormous amounts of gold in anticipation of an even bigger global downturn. Japan has the third largest economy in the world, and over the past year Japanese stocks are down a total of 26 percent from the peak Personally, I have been extremely alarmed by what has been happening in Japan lately. Japanese stocks were down almost 500 points last night, and overall the Nikkei is down a whopping 1,800 points so far in June. Of course the Japanese economy as a whole is essentially a basket case at this point. For a detailed analysis of this, please see my previous article entitled Watch Japan For All Is Not Well In The Land Of The Rising Sun. Germany has the fourth largest economy in the world, and over the past year their stocks have fallen 19 percent from the peak of the market The key thing to watch for in Germany are serious troubles at their biggest bank. I wrote a long article about the slow-motion implosion of Deutsche Bank last month, and just this week Deutsche Bank stock hit an all-time low. The fifth largest economy on the planet belongs to the United Kingdom, and since last June their stocks have fallen about 13 percent One week from today, the Brexit vote will be held in the UK, and if they vote to leave the EU that could have very serious economic and financial implications for them and for the rest of Europe as well. For an in-depth look at this, please see my previous article entitled June 23, 2016: The Brexit Vote Could Change EVERYTHING And Plunge Europe Into Financial Chaos. France has the sixth largest economy in the world, and over the past year French stocks are down 20 percent from the peak of the market The French economy is really struggling these days, and we have not heard much about it in the U.S. media, but there have been tremendous riots in major cities in France in recent weeks. The seventh largest economy on our planet belongs to India. Even though India is facing some very serious economic problems, their stocks are doing okay for the moment. Even though stocks in India are down over the past 12 months, we have not seen a major financial crisis over there just yet. But there is definitely a major crisis in the eighth largest economy in the world. Italian stocks are down a staggering 32 percent from the peak of the market. That means approximately a third of all stock market wealth in Italy is already gone Earlier this year, I wrote about the horrifying collapse of the Italian banking system that has greatly accelerated since the start of 2016. It looks like virtually all of their big banks will ultimately need to be bailed out, and this threatens to become a far bigger crisis than the crisis in Greece ever was. And let us not leave off the ninth largest economy in the world. Not too long ago, CNN ran an article entitled Brazil: Economic collapse worse than feared. So not only are they admitting that the ninth largest economy on the globe is collapsing, they are also admitting that it is even worse than what the experts had anticipated. So did I leave anyone off the list? Ah yes, I havent even addressed what has been going on in the United States yet. U.S. stocks did crash last August, but then they recovered. Then they crashed again in January, but then they recovered again. Now U.S. stocks have been taking another tumble here in June, but we are being assured that there is nothing to worry about. Meanwhile, the underlying numbers for the U.S. economy just continue to get worse and worse and worse. If you have any doubt about this, please see the article that I posted yesterday entitled 15 Facts About The Imploding U.S. Economy That The Mainstream Media Doesnt Want You To See. Hopefully this article will clear a lot of things up. In this piece, I have presented undeniable evidence that a new global financial crisis has begun over the past 12 months. We have not seen global stock declines of this nature since the great financial crisis of 2008, but much worse is still to come. I would love to be wrong about that last part. It would be wonderful if the worst was now behind us and good times for the global financial system were ahead. Unfortunately, every single indicator that I am watching is telling me just the opposite. *About the author: Michael Snyder is the founder and publisher of The Economic Collapse Blog.

3	Health Care, And The Altar of The Black RobeMichael Patrick McCarty, Contributor The so-called Supreme Court has delivered a devious blow, and I can feel the treacherous poison of that dastardly deed drill deep into her anchoring roots. I have long since lost patience with all aspects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. In fact, Im angry, and I dont like that. Im even angrier because I know that I should not have to be angry. The Act was unconstitutional when it was rammed down our throats without our approval. It was unconstitutional when it was sent to the Supreme Court for consideration, and its still unconstitutional today, no matter what they say. Even I know that. Obamacare was put into effect with blunt force trauma, like a doctor performing intricate brain surgery with a long-handled shovel. The procedure cracked the skull and killed the patient with the first big swing, as surely as a surgically placed bullet from the gun of a skilled assassin. In this case the assassin wore a black robe, and his gun was a black ink pen held behind a tall bench in the highest court of the land. We may never know the true motivations of the man who ultimately decided the fate of Obamacare. That may be between him and whatever god and judgements he may suffer. We do know that it is a complete and utter sham, and not even a good one at that. It is a gift from the dark side, delivered in full sunlight by a new world order as old as time itself, with a mission to create chaos out of the natural order of all good things. My level of anger is indescribable. A bucket of cold water in the face of it would not blunt it. It burns as hot as the primordial ember of the first man, who left the trees in search of god and human destiny. That first spark has not gone out. Forever on it waits to burn out the eternal sickness for once and for all. It was created just for that. It is part of my soul, and of yours, and it will burn even brighter long after the body is gone. For now, I am a man without a country, because my country is gone. Obamadoesntcare and the Supreme judgers have seen to that. Though I stand in the same geographical location, the earth beneath my feet has shifted. No doubt I would have already disappeared into some great sinkhole, were it not held together by the blood and spirit of so many patriots who once stood beneath the sacred tree. Yet, of some things I am certain. I will not move from this rooted earth. I shall not cower or run before the approaching storm of tyranny. I will not be buried alive by a drugged-up horde of glassy-eyed bureaucrats and sadistic tax collectors. They wish to gather up their due, and I shall have mine. My resistance is eternal, and I feel the strength of ten thousand men within me. We have done this all before, and I pledge my allegiance to the country we once had. The common evil of the psychopathic control freaks and their nanny masters everywhere will be defeated, for the last time. It is said that the fundamental relationship between the federal government and the people has now changed. Well, I agree, and I will now act in a manner that reflects our new relationship. Every decision I make will consider those ramifications. It will determine what and how I buy, who I talk to, and what I say. It will color all of my days and contribute to the entirety of my life and future plans. Welcome to the new day. Fair warning! You may not enjoy the end results of our new-found relations. Above all, I will not comply. I will not purchase your shiny tokens that contribute to my demise. Obamacare may be the law of the land, but its mandate will not become part of my individual landscape. I refuse to let its pox visit my house. The responsibility and condition of my health, and my health care, belong to me and to the people who truly care. It does not belong to the flashy carnival barkers or your rabid and slobbering junkyard dogs. Things are different now, as you may soon see. In the end you may wish you had not chosen to prod and poke away at the well-being of the american people, nor awaken them to the sad fact that they have allowed their rights and liberties to fade away in the toxic mists of an ill begotten wind.

3	Kuwait Mandates DNA Database For All ResidentsBy Brandon Turbeville This is because the small nation recently announced the passage of a law that mandates every person residing in Kuwait must submit to a DNA sample that will be stored in a massive database upon penalty of fines and jail time. Kuwait has 1.3 million citizens that will be subject to the law but its 2.9 million foreign residents are subject as well. Any person who refuses to submit to the DNA tests and data mining operation will be subject to $33,000 in fines and up to one year in prison. Any person who provides a fake sample will face up to seven years. Kuwait passed this law conveniently after an Islamic State (and thus NATO-directed) bombing of a Shiite mosque on June 26. The law is being justified as a way to make it easier for law enforcement to track down criminals and terrorists after the attacks have been committed. Thus, the incident stands as another Problem-Reaction-Solution-style terrorist attack justifying an even more totalitarian police state response. We have approved the DNA testing law and approved the additional funding. We are prepared to approve anything needed to boost security measures in the country, independent MP Jamal Al Omar said. Kuwait now stands as the only country in the world that makes DNA tests and participation in a DNA database compulsory. But is it just the first? After all, many countries including England, Australia, Sweden, and the United States maintain stored databases of the DNA of convicted criminals with the United States maintaining a database of the DNA of even those who have merely been arrested but not convicted. In addition, the U.S. database also maintains the DNA of missing persons and their families. Now, with the exception of Kuwait, the United States maintains the worlds largest DNA database. The growing number of countries building, maintaining, and subsequently mandating various forms of biometric identification and biometric databases is not only concerning, it is becoming the norm. In 2012, India launched a nationwide program involving the allocation of a Unique Identification Number (UID) to every single one of its 1.2 billion residents. Each of the numbers are tied to the biometric data of the recipient using three different forms of information fingerprints, iris scans, and pictures of the face. All ten digits of the hand will be recorded, and both eyes are scanned. The Japanese have had a mandatory national UID system in place since 2002, under the Basic Resident Register (BRR) program. Under the BRR, each individual must provide their name, birthdate, gender, and physical address to municipal governments who, in turn, issue the citizen a UID. However, an update to the initiative, called My Number Bill, was introduced in February 2012 that streamlined the information sharing process between government tax, social security, and emergency mitigation agencies. This was merely the next phase toward the goal of the Japanese government to centralize already-collected information about each one of its citizens and to expand this program to contain even more data. The information collected on Japanese citizens under their current system is fed into a nationwide computer database known as the Juki-net, which is made up of 3,200 municipal governments. The Juki-net serves as the common data sharing database between the municipal governments and, to some extent, the central government. Israel also has a mandatory biometrics program. As Justin Lee writes for BiometricUpdate.com, Initially passed by the Knesset in December 2009, the Biometric Database Law mandates the collection of fingerprints and facial images from all Israeli residents, as well as integrating these biometric details in domestic ID cards and national passports. The legislation also called for the creation of a biometric government database for the purpose of managing access control, identification of individuals and to help law enforcement officials locate criminal suspects. The law is intended to curb identity theft, as well as the loss, theft and destruction of the current blue ID cards issued by the Interior Ministry. In a report submitted to the Prime Ministers Office and to the Knesset Chairman, Erdan emphasized the importance of implementing the biometric system and said the transition would be gradual. Smart biometric records that cannot be faked [] will lead to the full protection of the identity of Israeli citizens, Erdan told Channel 10. It will provide a balance between our duty to ensure the security of citizens and our duty to protect their privacy. We will promote a gradual transition to mandatory biometric documentation. The first phase of the biometric identification system was implemented in June 2013, and since then, some 640,000 people have volunteered to submit their biometric details to the database, said Erdan. While most of the data collection and database storage via biometrics in the United States is rolled out under the auspices of greater convenience, concepts such as biometric programs for food stamp recipients, and employee tagging are gaining traction, indicating that the push for the eventual mandating of participation in such programs is clearly not far off. Kuwait may be the first in terms of mandating DNA database participation in the world, but it is only first. Kuwait simply stands as the latest country to make a step forward in the international game of leap frog toward a global surveillance state, technological control grid, and total prison planet.

1	Saying they wanted the editorial staff at online media company Insightable to be creative and really play around with it, representatives from Suncoast Snackfoods reportedly emphasized Monday that, when creating the corporations new branded entertainment, the digital publisher should just have fun with the whole thing. We love your brand and everything that it produces, so we just want you to have a good time with this and come up with something that gets you excited, said Suncoast advertising manager Steve Reynolds, assuring Insightable staffers that as long as they were happy with the concept they put together for a series of sponsored 90-second videos, his corporation would be happy, too. Coming up with great, engaging ideas is what you do best, so we are just so thrilled to see what kind of exciting content you can create for our brand. If its something that you like and would share with your friends, itll be perfect for us. At press time, Suncoast had rejected all 10 ideas submitted for their approval, returned them with heavy markups, and demanded that the next round of proposals all prominently feature the phrase SharpnZesty Nacho Dippers. 
3	MIT Creates Soft Robotic Fish, Moves Like the Real Thingselfnews Post Were excited about soft robots for a variety of reasons, says Daniela Rus, a professor of computer science and engineering, director of MITs Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and one of the researchers who designed and built the fish. As robots penetrate the physical world and start interacting with people more and more, its much easier to make robots safe if their bodies are so wonderfully soft that theres no danger if they whack you. Another reason to study soft robots, Rus says, is that with soft machines, the whole robotic planning problem changes. In most robotic motion-planning systems, avoiding collisions with the environment is the highest priority. That frequently leads to inefficient motion, because the robot has to settle for collision-free trajectories that it can find quickly. But the new robotic fish was designed to explore yet a third advantage of soft robots: The fact that the body deforms continuously gives these machines an infinite range of configurations, and this is not achievable with machines that are hinged, Rus says. The continuous curvature of the fishs body when it flexes is what allows it to change direction so quickly. A rigid-body robot could not do continuous bending, she says. Escape velocity The robotic fish was built by Andrew Marchese, a graduate student in MITs Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and lead author on the new paper, where hes joined by Rus and postdoc Cagdas D. Onal. Each side of the fishs tail is bored through with a long, tightly undulating channel. Carbon dioxide released from a canister in the fishs abdomen causes the channel to inflate, bending the tail in the opposite direction. Each half of the fish tail has just two control parameters: the diameter of the nozzle that releases gas into the channel and the amount of time its left open. In experiments, Marchese found that the angle at which the fish changes direction which can be as extreme as 100 degrees is almost entirely determined by the duration of inflation, while its speed is almost entirely determined by the nozzle diameter. That decoupling of the two parameters, he says, is something that biologists had observed in real fish. To be honest, thats not something I designed for, Marchese says. I designed for it to look like a fish, but we got the same inherent parameter decoupling that real fish have. That points to yet another possible application of soft robotics, Rus says, in biomechanics. If you build an artificial creature with a particular bio-inspired behavior, perhaps the solution for the engineered behavior could serve as a hypothesis for understanding whether nature might do it in the same way, she says. Marchese built the fish in Rus lab, where other researchers are working on printable robotics. He used the labs 3-D printer to build the mold in which he cast the fishs tail and head from silicone rubber and the polymer ring that protects the electronics in the fishs guts. The long haul The fish can perform 20 or 30 escape maneuvers, depending on their velocity and angle, before it exhausts its carbon dioxide canister. But the comparatively simple maneuver of swimming back and forth across a tank drains the canister quickly. The fish was designed to explore performance capabilities, not long-term operation, Marchese says. Next steps for future research are taking that system and building something thats compromised on performance a little bit but increases longevity. A new version of the fish that should be able to swim continuously for around 30 minutes will use pumped water instead of carbon dioxide to inflate the channels, but otherwise, it will use the same body design, Marchese says. Rus envisions that such a robot could infiltrate schools of real fish to gather detailed information about their behavior in the natural habitat. Written by Larry Hardesty, MIT News Office

2	Citizens Letter To Michelle Goes Viral: You Have Your Own Kids, So Step Off Ours Recently, a letter written by an American mother to First Lady Michelle Obama has been making its way around the web. The letter calls out Michelle for taking vacations at taxpayer expense, supporting her husband in his treasonous actions, and then having the nerve to attempt to change the way we raise our children. You have your own kids to deal with, so step off of ours, the mother concludes. Read the letter below and let us know what you think: Dear Michelle Obama, You have spent the last few years sitting pretty in the White House, gallivanting around the globe on costly vacations and implementing bogus nutrition reform that nobody including your own family can stand. Your husband, who could have by all accounts been revered at the first black President of the United States, will instead be known as the most epic failure of a Commander In Chief in the history of our great nation. Chew on that for a minute. When you return from vacation, take a spin through the news. You may find a nice article on the latest atrocities committed at the hands of terrorists who your husband has aided and abetted. As you sit in your plush office, drinking tea and noshing on kale chips, know that the rest of us hard-working Americans dont have it so easy. Know that lives are being lost around the world because of your husbands failed leadership. The nice thing about being the First Lady of the United States is that you can make a real difference in the lives of Americans without tackling any tough or controversial issues. Laura Bush was very in tune with this notion, and so she made reading her agenda. Now, she did not tell children what to read, how to read, what time of day to read, as a liberal the likes of you might have done. She simply encouraged children to read. Great idea. No one could argue with that. If you want to make healthy eating your agenda, fine. Do it. But dont control every particle of food that reaches the lips of Americas youth. Inform children on making healthy choices. You dont have the authority to make those choices for them. You have your own kids to deal with, so step off of ours. Sincerely, A mother whos had enough of your BS ***** Note: While the author of this note is unknown, its original publication has been attributed to Mr. Conservative. 
2	Sheriff Joe Exposes 9 Points Of Forgery On Obamas Birth Certificate, This Can Not Be Denied Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been a controversial opponent of President Barack Obamas for some time now. For five years, he has been on a mission to prove that Obamas birth certificate is a fake. Now, its being revealed that he made some pretty important discoveries during his investigation. According to reports, his lead investigator, Mike Zullo, has determined that the certificate contains 9 points of forgery and was created by simply copying and pasting information from the legitimate birth certificate of a woman born in Hawaii. Zullo stressed that the theory was supported by two experts on two separate continents, USA Today reports. We and anyone else who dared to question the document has been maligned, falsely labeled and grossly criticized, Arpaio commented during the press conference. Still, the findings are questionable, given that officials from Hawaii have repeatedly confirmed Obamas citizenship. Earlier this year, during campaign season, Donald Trump admitted that President Obama had indeed been born in the United States. Still, this has not stopped Arpaio from holding tight to the theoryand others are still supporting his claims. 
3	US Court Rules Against Reclassification of MarijuanaThe U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the DEA who claimed medical marijuana studies have not been scientifically rigorous, Americans For Safe Access vowed to appeal. The United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued a ruling today in the medical marijuana reclassification case, Americans for Safe Access v. Drug Enforcement Administration. In a 2-1 decision, the Court granted standing in the case the right to bring a claim against the federal government but denied the legal challenge on the merits, agreeing with the governments assertion that adequate and well-controlled studies on the medical efficacy of marijuana do not exist. To deny that sufficient evidence is lacking on the medical efficacy of marijuana is to ignore a mountain of well-documented studies that conclude otherwise, said Joe Elford, Chief Counsel with Americans for Safe Access (ASA), the countrys leading medical marijuana advocacy organization, which appealed the denial of the rescheduling petition in January of last year. The Court has unfortunately agreed with the Obama Administrations unreasonably raised bar on what qualifies as an adequate and well-controlled study, thereby continuing their game of Gotcha.' ASA intends to seek En Banc review by the full D.C. Circuit and,necessary, the organization will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. ASA intends to argue that the Obama Administration has acted arbitrarily and capriciously by using continually changing standards of medical efficacy in order to maintain marijuana as a Schedule I substance, a dangerous drug with no medical value. The government now contends that Stage II and III clinical trials are necessary to show efficacy, while ASA has consistently argued that the more than 200 peer-reviewed studies cited in the legal briefs adequately meet this standard. The Obama Administrations legal efforts will keep marijuana out of reach for millions of qualified patients who would benefit from its use, continued Elford. Its time for President Obama to change his harmful policy with regard to medical marijuana and treat this as a public health issue, something entirely within the capability and authority of the executive office. Patient advocates claim that marijuana is treated unlike any other controlled substance and that politics have dominated over medical science on this issue. Advocates point to a research approval process for marijuana, controlled by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), which is unique, overly rigorous, and hinders meaningful therapeutic research. ASA argues in its appeal brief that the DEA has no license to apply different criteria to marijuana than to other drugs, ignore critical scientific data, misrepresent social science research, or rely upon unsubstantiated assumptions, as the DEA has done in this case. ASA will continue to put pressure on the Obama Administration, but will also be lobbying Members of Congress to reclassify marijuana for medical use. A new comprehensive public health bill on medical marijuana is expected to be introduced soon in Congress, and ASA is holding a national conference in February to support its passage.

2	Obama Insults Christians Everywhere Across The Country With Disgusting Move Leave it up to the Obama family to break an important tradition in their final Christmas card in the White House. Moments after the card was released, Americans noticed that it wasnt like any of the cards weve seen before. There is a longstanding tradition where the president and his family sends out a Christmas card with a photo of either the White House covered with snow or one of its rooms decorated for the holidays. Of course, the Obamas threw that idea out the window and decided to send out a candid image taken back in March during the State Dinner for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. There is not a hint of Christmas in the photo. Instead, Obama is decked out in a tuxedo while Michelle stands by his side in an expensive Jason Wu gown. Sasha and Malia stand by their sides wearing gowns by Naeem Khanboth costing a whopping $20,000. Its amazing that Obama would take this opportunity to censor Christmas, but we arent entirely surprised. Nothing says we dont care about you like flaunting expensive gowns when the rest of America is struggling to make ends meet and buy simple toys this Christmas. What do you think of the Obama familys last Christmas card? 
2	This Shocking Display Was Seen At Muslim Day Parade In New York City During the 29th annual Muslim Day Parade on Madison Avenue in New York City, some controversial activity took place for a second year in a row. Last year, the Parade sent the public into a fit after the black flags of jihad were spotted lining the parade route. According to reports, no black flags were on display this year. Still, a marching band from the NYPD and New Jersey Girl Scouts in Muslim attire opened the event, only to be followed by flag-waving marchers, pro-Islam floats, and even a demonstration of a hanging. Watch the video below and tell us what you think about the event.

1	One year after pledging to develop more energy-efficient products, General Electric Co. unveiled a product it is calling its most eco-friendly lighting source to date: the first-ever gasoline-electric hybrid lightbulb. 'With the price of gas escalating as its supply dwindles, now is the perfect time to introduce innovative lighting technology that only relies on this fast-depleting, nonrenewable resource for a portion of its power,' GE chairman Jeff Immelt said in a statement released Monday. If the Wisebulb, which will be available in stores by November for the retail price of $89.99, is used only for recommended short-term, dim, and frequent on-and-off lighting, it could eliminate nearly 80 percent of global-warming pollution that would be caused by using solely gas-powered lightbulbs, GE spokesman Brian Tormey said. 'A full tank of gas can illuminate a hybrid bulb for an average of two weeks,' Tormey said. 'Once the 1.5-gallon tank is empty, all customers have to do is drive their lightbulb to the gas station and fill it up for only about $6.' The hybrid bulb's structureslightly more complex than the older filament-and-wire modelsfeatures a small, efficient four-cylinder internal-combustion engine at the base of the bulb that powers an electric generator attached to the glass mount. The generator produces electricity that is then fed to the electric motor, which ignites a small flame inside the glass casing. Any excess electricity is used to charge the bulb's 300-volt lead-acid battery, which at full capacity is capable of independently lighting a 60-watt bulb for up to 30 minutes. In order to prevent the bulb from overheating, carbon dioxide emitted from the flame will be released through the bulb's two-centimeter exhaust pipe. In addition to regular fill-ups, Tormey added that twice-annual servicing of the bulb, which can include battery replacement and engine tune-up, will help ensure years of uninterrupted performance. GE is already at work on enhancing the Wisebulb's features, including developing a larger 12-cylinder hybrid lightbulb for Americans who crave brighter, extended, higher-wattage illumination on a more frequent basis. Tormey also said that a special, lower-emission version with a catalytic converter, which uses additional energy to chemically convert a small percentage of the bulb's pollutants into harmless compounds, will also be made available, though consumers will be required to refill its gas tank at least twice daily. By 2010, GE plans to convert all its home consumer products to the hybrid-energy model. 'Our Ecomagination division is fully committed to helping save the environment and preserve our remaining gas resources,' Immelt said. 'If the Wisebulb proves successful, it will pave the way for future advances such as the hybrid toaster, the diesel-electric vacuum cleaner, and the lower-emission, cleaner-burning dishwasher engine.' California residents who participated in a test run of the Wisebulb this summer are eager to make the permanent switch over to hybrid lighting, saying the extra expenses are 'more than worth it.' 'The extra $80 I spend on gas every week is a small price to pay to know that I'm conserving this valuable resource and helping save the environment,' said Bakersfield, CA resident Marcia Epstein, who has also recently purchased a GE-brand hybrid air purifier to reduce the level of harmful toxins in her home. 'Plus, I'll save a few dollars on my electricity bill every month,' Epstein added. In its continuing mission to provide safe, clean, green-friendly products for Americans, GE is also investing heavily in research and development of additional alternative energy technology, including ethanol-fueled windmills, hydro-gas solar panels, and a lightbulb that would run entirely on electricity. 
3	There is WHAT in your Bug Out Bag?Gaye Levy It has been my experience that most preppers have this same penchant for wanting to use ordinary items for extraordinary purposes. Myself? I feel pretty clever in this regard. But today I have to tell you, Above Average Joe has me beat. Who would have thought that pantyhose could be put to practical use in a bug out bag? Read on from Above Average Joe: My BOB Has A SecretAnd It Isnt Pretty. If you are heading out for a weekend camping trip or a disaster is on its way and you need to hoof it on foot to get out of dodge make sure you always have a few pair of these in your gear: Thats right the secret weapon in my Bug out Bag is pantyhose er maybe I should call them Man-tyhose. It might not be a very manly thing to carry, and I get a few funny looks when I step up to the counter at CVS with a pair of pantyhose but this is survival planning and you looking manly is trumped by being prepared. Pantyhose look terrible on men plain and simple, but they were never designed for us; but the great thing about them is that they are extremely stretchy and most have a sizing guide so that you can take a guess at the size you should buy. Im not saying that these should be worn on a regular basis, but in a survival situation the benefit of having those in your pack outweigh any blow that your pride may take when purchasing them. And if you really cant break down and buy a pair of them for yourself, Ive actually seen a few places that sell them in camouflage for the real manly man. Or if you have the extra cash you can always buy underarmour, but when you can get 10 pair of pantyhose for the cost of 1 pair of underarmour, I would rather save my money for something else. These are just a few examples of what a little ingenuity can bring you in a survival situation; can you think of a few more that I may have missed? About Joe A little about me (Above Average Joe): I am just an average guy with a passion for learning . . . I am excited to share the things I learn with you but I am most interested in learning from you. Survival Life is more than just one man. It is a growing and living community of individuals; all with the desire to be prepared to survive and thrive no matter what this world throws at us. I want to welcome you to the Survival Life community and look forward to growing with you! Thank you, Gaye, for inviting me to share the Survival Life with your readers! THE FINAL WORD Who would have thought it? This is quite the secret! Now surely when the Survival Husband reads this he may protest and say whoa! not me. On the other hand, no one says anyone man or woman, has to actually wear pantyhose. For a buck a pair at the dollar store, it seems to me there are plenty of other reasons to keep a few pairs on hand. Heck, even old worn out holey-ones will work. Thanks, Joe, for a great idea!

2	All Black Jury Will Convene, Darren Wilson May Be Headed To Jail It looks like the storm is quite over for Darren Wilson at least not yet. Riots and protests have swept across the nation after a grand jury decided not to indict Darren Wilson for the shooting of Michael Brown only a few weeks ago. It seems that there a still a large amount of people unhappy with the decision, which has resulted in the African Peoples Socialist Party calling for ANOTHER grand jury to convene: Activists connected to the Leadership Coalition for Justice and the African Peoples Socialist Party announced Friday that they will convene Jan. 3-4 to look over the evidence presented to the St. Louis County Grand Jury, a local Fox affiliate reported. They also say they will call Darren Wilson, County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch, Ferguson Mayor James Knowles and Governor Jay Nixon to testify, the station reported. What it does is educates and informs our people that two bodies came together, examined the same set of evidence, and were able to come to different conclusions, said Omali Yeshitela of the African Peoples Socialist Party. 
2	Liberals Are FURIOUS After Tim Tebow Receives THIS News According to recent reports, the Philadelphia Eagles just traded Matt Barkley to the Arizona Cardinals in order to make room for Tim Tebow as their number three quarterback. A person who is close to the deal told reporters that Barkley is required to be on the roster for six games for the Eagles to receive a pick in 2016. The move is not entirely surprisingTebow outplayed Barkley in the preseason. He is set to become the No. 3 quarterback behind Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez. The last time Tebow played was in a regular season game with the Jets back in 2012. Shortly thereafter, he was cut by New England in a training camp. He went on to work as a college football analyst on the SEC Network. Now, it looks like he is going to get another chance to play. Its a blessing to be able to play the game that I love, Tebow said in a statement. Sometimes when things are taken away, you realize how much you really love it, and sometimes you love it more after that. So its not necessarily coming back, but the time away that makes you love it more. Of course, the reactions from fans have been mixed. What do you think? Do you support Tebow?

Many Americans believe this is long overdue, given the fact that the power of religion is used to control, oppress, and mistreat millions of people throughout the world. Unfortunately, in todays society, it is a major risk to speak out against any religion. This forced silence is a major reason that people have been unwilling to challenge what many would agree is blatantly wrong. Now, one Navy Seal decided to speak out a political conference, claiming, They are intent on killing the American dream by giving it away, surrendering it, by funding the Muslim Brotherhood and Arab Spring For whatever reason, it appears that Obama has decided to provide this terrorist organization with weapons. Now many are arguing that being politically incorrect may be just the thing that this country needs. Watch this video and let us know what you think:

Americans are split when it comes to believing whether Stewart is guilty or innocent in the matter. The conversation rages on even though Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero recently announced that the preliminary investigation to not uncover anything criminal. The full investigation, however, will take another two weeks. One law professor is claiming that prosecutors dont necessarily have to prove intent on Stewarts part in order to file a criminal complaint. According to Corey Rayburn Yung of the Kansas University School of Law, all they need to prove is that he recklessly caused the death of another person. The question over whether someone was reckless is a factual one, and one a prosecutor might let a jury decide, Yung concludes. If that were to happen, it would not be the first incident, although most believe that it is unlikely. What do you think? Will Stewart be found guilty or not?

The footage is from a speaking event at USC. During her speech, Michelle calls Americans ignorant, and challenges them to embrace change. Unfortunately for all the students who walked away and voted for the president, that changed turned out to be for the worse. What do you think of Michelles antics? Is this manipulative and disgusting? 
2	Papa Johns Does The Unthinkable To This Muslim, He Will Never Be The Same... A Muslim man ordered Papa Johns for delivery, and happened to order a pizza with pork on it. He specified that he would like beef instead of the pork on the phone. The Quran restricts Muslims from eating pork (not for any particular reason, just because). When the pizza arrived, Mickles, the 45-year-old Muslim, was eager to dig in. He picked up a slice, folded it in half, and took a huge bite. To his surprise, the pizza was covered in sausage. Mickles immediately spit it out and called Papa Johns to speak with the manager. Every once in a while you get somebodys order wrong, said Papa Johns manager Max Onwinsky. But thats going to happen. Mistakes happen. Im not going to say were perfect. Mickles did not see the situation in the same light. Right now inside my body theres a parasite growing that Ill never be able to get rid of, said Mickles. And Ive actually sinned in the eyes of God, because I was told not to eat it. This is unbelievable, and Papa Johns is not to blame. Mistakes happen, and if you are not allowed to eat pork, then you should be conscious of what you are putting in your mouth. Who do you think is to blame?

2	You Wont Believe Hillarys Excuse For Why Bill Continues To Cheat When you think of Bill Clinton, its almost impossible not to think of Monica. As we all know, Hillary Clinton has stood by her husband through some pretty humiliating situations, and many women wonder how or why she does it. Now, she has recently given the most ridiculous reason for why Bill continues to cheat. According to Hillary, Bill has very little self control when it comes to other women because he was abused by his mother as a child. In a recent interview with reporter Lucinda Franks, Hillary broadly covered the subject, called Bills mother, Virginia Kelley, a doozey. The former first lady claims her husband is helpless over his desires because he is constantly searching for another mother figure. What do you think of Hillarys excuses for her husbands behavior? 
3	Deadline 6pm EST: Tell the AMA to support GMO food labelingBy David Bancroft That means they want to hear from people like you and me. This is a huge, and rare, opportunity, so we need your help right now. We need to make sure that doctors support our right to know how the food we feed our families is produced. We know the FDA takes their views seriously. Contact the AMA by 6 pm EST today and tell them to support GMO food labels by adopting Resolution 509-A-11 in lieu of the Council Report on GMO labeling. Background: the Indiana state delegation submitted a resolution to the American Medical Association Reference Committee for Science and Technology that asks the AMA to study the impact of mandated GMO labeling and then to take action based on the results of the analysis. Why do doctors care about GMOs? Many AMA members recognize that the lack of labeling denies health professionals the ability to trace potentially toxic or allergic reactions to genetically engineered foods. They also know that without labels, we wont be able to understand any adverse health effects from consuming GE foods. Its no wonder that over 300 hospitals and medical centers in the United States have signed a pledge to encourage their vendors to supply food that is produced without genetic modification. We only have hours to submit public comments. Please use our simple tool to send a message to the AMA right now. Together, we submitted over 1.1 million comments to the FDA. It took you only five days to generate 25,000 signatures on the White House We The People petition in favor of labeling. And our partners in California succeeded in securing the nearly one million signatures needed to put GMO labeling on the statewide ballot this fall. Even though weve got less than 7 hours, I know we can win this next victory. The American Medical Association is a well-respected institution with a long and influential history dating back over 160 years. The position they take on labeling will have a powerful impact on all of our efforts to secure the right to know how our food is produced. Please speak out now. In October 2011, the Just Label It campaign was formed when the Center for Food Safety filed a petition with the Food Drug Administration (FDA) to require the labeling of all foods produced using genetic engineering. Days later, we asked citizens from around the country to join us and tell the FDA to Just Label It. More than 1.1 million Americans have contacted to the FDA urging them to label genetically engineered foods. Ask others to sign on at www.JustLabelIt.org/takeaction. H/T Food Freedom

'I can't believe that Bob Barker would let someone with a tattoo up on stage,' Grunfelder said from her recliner. 'I would think they'd at least make him cover up that terrible thing. What if there are children somewhere, home sick from school, watching this show?' Luckily, Grunfelder's two other means of access to the outside worldthe AARP newsletter and reruns of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Womanremain tattoo-free.

1	Local resident Ann Jacobsen announced Tuesday that she is champing at the bit to complain to township officials should anyone object to a display of the nativity scene recently erected in the community park. Someones bound to say something, and when they do, Ill be ready to unleash a big tirade about the attack on Christian traditions and our right to publicly celebrate religious holidays, said Jacobsen, adding that she is raring to go with a long-winded speech defending the presence of the diorama, which depicts an infant Jesus Christ lying in a small manger alongside life-size figurines of the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph. Then Ill launch into a whole thing about how if this was a display for a Muslim or Jewish holiday, no one would be saying a thing. Oh, and Ill top it all off by arguing that if you dont like it, no ones making you look at it. I cant wait. Jacobsen also confirmed her desire to harshly criticize anyone who takes offense to the Merry Christmas sign above the exhibit. At press time, a disappointed Jacobsen looked on as a Middle Eastern woman walked by the exhibit and commented that it was very nice. 
3	Elite Preparing to Insulate From Revolution, Rebellion, Anarchy After an Economic CollapseBy Mac Slavo Saving the system may be impossible, even if the powers that be delay or defuse the worst of it for some time to come. Most people have no idea what to expect if it comes crashing down. But others have been prepping for years to make sure they can survive if the power, the food supply, or the entire society ceases to be functional. An increasing number of the rich and especially the super rich are prepping, too, and investing serious money for a survival bunker that includes comforts and upscale security with the basic amenities. Pulse.com profiled one company that is marketing end of the world shelters to those who can afford it, and who see a breakdown coming that includes potential revolution and civil unrest: Vicino warns that the rich need to be ready for a scenario that will turn Suzy Homemaker into a gun-wielding predator. As he asked me, without any apparent irony, Do you really want to fight off all the zombies, the predators, the gangs, the militias, whatever else is roaming the streets to get what you got? [] At the last annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, observers noticed elites growing more alarmed about the possibility of social unrest. [] This matches what Vicino hears. Theyre going to Patagonia, theyre going to remote locations of the world, he says. Their reasoning is more to be insulated from a revolution, rebellion, anarchy, or whatever, following an economic collapse. [] Vicinos properties include the recently launchedVivos Europa One, an invitation-only nuclear blastproof subterranean complex tucked into a former Cold War munitions storage facility in Germany.It waspurchased by Vicino and his partner, a German developer, for $2.25 million [1.47 million] and unveiled this past summer. The property, now valued at over abillion dollarsand boasting 227,904 square feet of secure, blast proof living areas is big enough for 34 high net-worth families to inhabit for a full year, says Vicino. They can enjoy swimming pools, a wine cellar, and living quarters they are encouraged to customize with fittings created by their favorite yacht designers. Worried about the collapse of the rule of law? After the end of society, each Vivos properties will be governed by its own bylaws and the various bunkers will have their own tribunals to handle conflicts between wealthy residents, who may well get twitchy during their confinement. An armed security force employed by the company will handle threats from abovepresumably the have-nots who want in. Theres no telling when exactly the SHTF may happen, but it is clear that those in power see a breakdown coming and they are prepared. Are you? You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com Only artificial things will collapse. Our human shepherds are controlling us through Fear. Whats the answer ? First, get yourself out of the state of Fear. In order to be able to think you need to be able to use the other parts of your brain. If you are having difficulty getting out of fear, here are a few things you can do : Turn OFF your TV ! Especially the news. As you begin to emerge from the state of fear and can once again think rationally and creatively, look at how you can create unity in your life instead of the polarity caused by fear. That would include denying the math of unfunded liabilities and the debt around $255 trillion? When SHTF and just in time inventory breaks down trucks dont run on air alone and drivers needl to be paid to risk their lives and load it wont matter whats on a TV that doesnt work. bring it on it will be the down fall of the house of red. Those surveillance systems need operators an analyst. Those stop light cameras will be easy targets and just for fun the kids will learn how to use sling shots. Any popo responding to kids throwing rocks might be led into a well prepared ambush for their weapons and uniforms. And any underground bunker is just a tomb. Worked out for hitler right? Which Jones ? Alex Jones from Infowars. Sorry, I did add a link to Joy Camps Dial P for Paranoia skit on youtube, however, it appears selfnews Post moderators didnt allow it. You should be able to find it without much trouble doing a youtube search. Youre lucky if you havent been exposed to Jones, hes an over the top showman. Infowars is probably still the biggest conspiracy website on the net and its essential to sort the wheat from the chaff true with most alt media sites to one degree or another. Thank you. The elite dont have a prayer. Historically, in situation like that, the people with arms will call the shots, and those are the hired guards. The elite will be slaughtered within a short period of time except the young females and women and take their supplies, shelters and wealth for their own survival and to ride the bad times out. Yep, very true, thats why the elite bunker scenario is absurd (a distraction) and why TPTB are going for the electronic surveillance prison gambit. Its disgusting. Hope the whole thing unravels. 
1	With word spreading rapidly through office towers, apartment buildings, and across all five boroughs, sources confirmed Friday that New Yorkers were abuzz over reports that a new resident had moved to the city. Recent arrival Keith McGregor, 26, has reportedly dominated conversations from neighborhood dive bars to uptown dinner parties, with New Yorks 8.4 million inhabitants exchanging excited whispers about who this newcomer is and what he might be like. I cant wait to find out more about this Keith guy who just moved in, said Upper West Side doorman Patrice Hall, 53, who told reporters that while he doesnt know much about McGregor yet, the young mans name seems to keep popping up in just about every interaction he has with coworkers, friends, and neighbors. I wonder how hes adjusting to the city so far. People have been saying he moved here from a small town and doesnt really know anyone, so if I run into him Ill be sure to introduce myself. Who knows? We may even have a few things in common, Hall added. According to sources, gossip about McGregor began to circulate last week, just moments after his rented U-Haul van was seen emerging from the Lincoln Tunnel into midtown Manhattan. News that he had already found a place to live in Bushwick and was interested in pursuing a career in graphic design spread quickly among cab drivers, shop owners, theater workers, Wall Street executives, and riders of the citys public transit system, fueling speculation about the new residents tastes in music, TV, movies, and more. New Yorkers who have spotted McGregor around town have reportedly tried to point him out surreptitiously to their fellow pedestrians and parkgoers. Many said they were fascinated by his simple-but-stylish clothing choices and had engaged in spirited discussions with other New Yorkers regarding what they could glean about his personality from the way he looks and dresses. My friend saw him reading on the subway, so Id be curious to know if hes into books, said Harlem resident and Pilates instructor Kayla Green, adding that she cant wait to meet McGregor in person and tell him about a couple of independent bookstores in the Village that she was confident he would absolutely love. And I havent heard anyone mention a girlfriend, which makes me wonder if hes single. If so, hes in luck, because theres a bunch of single people here for him to meet. A big city like this can be a little intimidating at first, but hopefully he likes it here and stays a while, she continued. At least, longer than Jennifer [Chan] did. She left after just six months, and Im still kicking myself for never stopping to say hello to her. While questions remain about McGregors impetus for moving to the Big Apple, local residents were in agreement that whatever the reason, they were happyas alwaysto welcome a new member to the New York City community. A particular cause for enthusiasm has been a neighbors sighting of McGregor moving an acoustic guitar into his apartment, which has led to considerable chatter among the citys residents, with many privately expressing excitement over how much they look forward to hearing him play. Its always a treat to have a new face in town, said Brooklyn resident and recent college graduate Kai Tapplemore. And it will be really great to have another young person like me living here. Whatever his personality or interests, Im sure hell find a lot of fun things to do around town. If hes not too busy, Ill see if he wants to hang out sometime, Tapplemore added. At press time, sources confirmed the entire population of New York was heading over to McGregors apartment to welcome him to the city and offer to show him around the area. 
2	Governors Stand Up To Obama, Refuse To Let Illegals Enter Their State As the influx of illegal immigrants continues at large, Obama has decided to make the irrational decision to spread them all over the United States. Apparently, that is his logical solution to the fact that so many immigrants are entering our country illegally, they can no longer fit in the Border States alone. Without permission from Congress, the administration has decided to place these immigrants wherever they see fit. As a result, crime rates are on the rise, and tax payer funding continues to support children here illegally over those born and struggling here. Finally, it appears that state governors have finally had enough. Our citizens already feel burdened by all kinds of challenges. They dont want to see another burden come into their state, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, told Fox News. However we deal with the humanitarian aspects of this, weve got to do it in the most cost-effective way possible. What do you think? Has Obama finally taken things way too far? 
2	BREAKING: Darren Wilson Indicted By Black Jury Members According to recent reports the Black Peoples Grand Jury, a faux jury with no true legal standing, has announced their decision on the Darren Wilson/Michael Brown case. Not surprisingly, their views differ greatly from the true grand jury decision, which made the legal decision not to indict the officer for the shooting of Michael Brown. According to the BPGJ, Officer Wilson needs to be held accountable for the death of Brown, and in an 11-1 decision, the group decided that Wilson should be charged with first degree murder charges for Browns death. Meaningone person from the fake jury disagrees? Which is strange considering that when Omali Yeshitela of the African Peoples Socialist Party began the BPGJ, he already knew that the decision from the group would differ from what truly happened. So why wouldnt he completely stack the jury in that favor? Of course, organizers of the group accused Attorney Bob McCulloch of stacking the case that was presented to the legal grand jury. What it does is educates and informs our people that two bodies came together, examined the same set of evidence, and were able to come to different conclusions, Yeshitela claims. Therefore, the only thing standing between us and our ability to carry out the will of the people is to change this relationship that exists between us and the armed state apparatus that controls us. What do you think of the group? Is their argument moot? 
1	Tiger Woods reportedly spent several hours in deep contemplation Saturday, pondering whether he should inform friends, family, and reporters that he's still getting laid on a regular basis. 'I suppose it's important to be open and honest about what's happening in my life, and it's not like I'm married anymore, so there's really nothing wrong with it,' Woods said as he attempted to remember the number of sexual partners he's had over the past month. 'On the other hand, people might get upset if they knew I was having sex three times a week with random women I meet at bars. I've only fucked a few ladies in the stall of the men's restroom and one on top of the sink, though. So that's not too bad.' After deep consideration, Woods reportedly decided that it would be best not to reveal any sexual escapades that involved fisting, anal penetration, or urophilia. 
1	AUSTIN, TX--Stoner Mike 'Gonzo' Dornheim, 37, a freelance carpenter and part-time drummer, is the favorite uncle of his six nephews and nieces, family sources revealed Monday. Mike 'Gonzo' Dornheim and two of his adoring nephews. Despite being the object of unspoken resentment from his siblings, who see him as the family's 'black sheep,' the habitual marijuana user has nevertheless cornered the market on nephew/niece affection. 'Uncle Gonzo isn't like my other uncles, who just talk about work all the time and won't let us make noise in the house,' said Brad Dornheim, 8, who, like his siblings and cousins, is unaware of his uncle's marijuana use. 'He makes us these awesome banana smoothies. And he has the coolest backyard, with these robot bird sculptures he made out of scrap metal. He even gave me one, but Mom said it has to stay in the garage. I want to be just like him when I grow up. Uncle Gonz rules!' Niece Caitlin Halloran, 6, agreed. 'Uncle Hank [insurance executive and avid golfer Henry Dornheim] and Uncle Jer [tile salesman and devout Presbyterian Gerald Pivarnik] are totally boring,' Caitlin said. 'They wear ties every day, even outside church. All they ever do is read the paper and fall asleep in chairs. Uncle Gonzo makes mud pies and builds us tree forts, and he jumps in the leaves with us. I wish all my uncles were like Uncle Gonzo.' Caitlin went on to cite other reasons for Dornheim's favorite-uncle status, including his love of playing Frisbee, his blacklight Pink Floyd posters, his tattoos, and his vast collection of classic Bugs Bunny cartoons. Despite their disapproval of his lifestyle, Dornheim's siblings cannot find fault with his behavior around the family's younger generation. Dornheim has always been careful never to discuss drugs with the children, and he keeps his basement grow-room securely padlocked when they come to visit. Dornheim also always makes sure his 'big people stuff'including his three-foot glass bong, collection of Bettie Page girlie-photo books, and supply of nitrous-oxide 'whippets'are kept stashed away in a secret compartment built into his vintage 1977 waterbed. The never-married Dornheim, who for more than a decade has been in an on-again, off-again relationship with a 44-year-old massage therapist and renaissance-fair hobbyist named Guinevere, has no children of his own. As a result, he enthusiastically enjoys the company of his nieces and nephews. Dornheim's sisters, Pam Halloran and Robin Pivarnik, begrudgingly admitted that he has a way with the children. 'They love his giant fish tank,' said Pivarnik, 39. 'And he's the only one who is even remotely competitive with the kids at PlayStation 2. He's also the only one who can stand watching SpongeBob SquarePants. As much as I hate to admit it, he seems to be an attentive, responsible caretaker.' Much to his siblings' chagrin, Dornheim is also the uncle of choice for helping the kids with school projects. Dornheim's nephews play with their stoner uncle's toys. 'Uncle Gonz helped me with my science-fair entry, and I got an A,' said nephew Sammy Pivarnik, 11. 'He showed me how to mix baking soda and water to make this cool liquid that turns solid when you squeeze it, then melts back into, like, milk when you let it go. You can play catch with it without spilling a drop!' 'It really blew the teacher's mind,' Sammy added. Dornheim, who, unbeknownst to his nephews and nieces, was nicknamed 'Gonzo' by his stoner buddies because of his longtime admiration of gonzo journalist and countercultural icon Hunter S. Thompson, also ranks ahead of his fellow uncles and aunts for his love of pets. 'Uncle Gonzo has four doggies,' said 4-year-old niece Emmy Dornheim, carefully counting to four on her fingers. 'Their names are Zowie, Zappa, James Tiberius, and Ignatius J. Reilly. They're nice and always want to play. Not like Uncle Jer's dog Bill, who's old and bites and can't come in the house.' Added Emmy: 'Uncle Gonzo has lots of strawberry ice cream, and he never mows his lawn, so we can play Tarzan, and he sings the song about Jeremiah The Bullfrog with me. All his couches and chairs are all different colors. I love Uncle Gonz!' In spite of his daughter's love of Uncle Gonzo, Henry Dornheim still resents his older brother. 'I don't know what kind of example he's setting,' Dornheim said. 'The other day, he picked up Emmy after school because I had a meeting. When he dropped her off after a few hours at his ramshackle house, Emmy said he let her paint his dog blue. Imagine it! Painting a dog! So what if it was just food coloring and it'll wash out? They're painting an animal!' Unfazed by their parents' disapproval, the kids still regard 'Uncle Gonz' as their favorite. 'The only other uncle I like is Uncle Steve,' 12-year-old nephew Henry Jr. said. 'Whenever he visits, he always plays us funny old show tunes and bakes awesome rhubarb pies. He doesn't have any kids, just like Uncle Gonz. I wish we could see Uncle Steve more, but he lives far away in San Francisco with his roommate Gary.' 
3	Top 10 Reasons We Should Fear The SingularityNikola Danaylov, Contributor Well, let me give you what I believe are the top 10 most popular reasons: 1. Extinction Extinction is by far the most feared as well as the most commonly predicted consequence of the singularity. The global apocalypse for the human race comes in many flavors but some of the most popular ones are: the supersmart terminator AIs a robopocalypse; nanotechnology gone rogue the so called grey goo scenario, home-made Smart Weapons of Mass Destruction used by terrorists and nihilists; genetic modifications or mutations turning us into living-dead zombies; science experiments gone wrong the Large Hadron Collider creating a black hole that engulfs the planet In short, the fear is that, as Bill Joy notoriously put it: The Future Doesnt Need Us. 2. Slavery Perhaps the second most common reason for fearing the singularity is the potential slavery or subjugation of the entire human race. The argument is pretty straight forward: Once we have super smart AIs we stop being the smartest entities on this planet. In other words, we have created Gods while remaining mere humans. So, if for whatever reason the machines decide not to exterminate us, then, chances are that since they will be vastly superior to us, they will enslave us. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways: either explicitly with us being aware of our bondage, or implicitly without us realizing it (the Matrix/simulation scenarios). The third most common fear of the singularity is, of course, World War 3. A Giga War of unprecedented scale, sophistication and efficiency of death and destruction that may be the result of either the clash between the human race and the AIs or between different factions of humans: e.g. the ArtIlect War of terrans versus cosmists as foreseen by Hugo de Garis. Whatever the case may be, it will likely result in billions of deaths and a collapse or complete eradication of our civilization. 4. Economic Collapse Some have argued that if we somehow manage to avoid the previous three scenarios, then we are likely to experience a complete economic collapse: The complete robotization of our society is likely to lead to overproduction of goods and services. Yet, since it is claimed that most people will lose their jobs to the robots, there will be a global unemployment rate of unprecedented scale which in turn will collapse the demand for those robo-made goods and services. Combine this with a population explosion of 9 or even 10 billion mostly unemployed people who have no means to create income and buy anything, and we are looking at a global economic collapse. 5. Big Brother AI This scenario is a milder version of the slavery/subjugation Matrix option because we are still under the complete control of an all-knowing Artificial Intelligence. The main difference here is that the AI is merely doing what is best for us, rather than what is best for it: we have a benevolent, omnipotent, absolute monarch protecting us from our worst enemies our fellow human beings and our own selves. It is all done in the name of maximizing security, prosperity and overall happiness for all people across the planet. The only minor negative is a little bit of propaganda and ideological, political or religious brainwashing required to prop up the cult of the AI, but thats OK since it is for our own good. 6. Alienation and Loss of Humanity Following the if you cant beat them, join them maxim, one way of potentially surviving the singularity is by merging with the machines. This idea that we can and should improve on what we have been handed down by mother nature, is often referred to as transhumanism. Merging man and machine via biotechnology, molecular nanotechnologies and artificial intelligence, we would increase our cognitive abilities, physical strength, emotional stability and overall health and longevity. The fear, of course, is that by doing so we are going to lose the very essence of being human our human nature, our human souls and human identity. Furthermore, at the collective level, the loss of humanity will also mean alienation or loss of community which is to say that the resulting variety of posthuman entities will be so wide apart as to negate any connection whatsoever among different individuals. This in turn will mean that humanity, in fact, did not survive but succumbed to the machine invasion and indeed went extinct. 7. Environmental Catastrophe Our history shows that our environmental destructiveness is in direct proportion of our technological prowess. Once we live in a global society where everything is mass produced by robots, our manufactured civilization will sever the last connection to the natural world. We will lose the very last bit of respect for mother nature: Why preserve the rainforest if we can create a better and smarter one? Why care about biodiversity, species extinction or environmental degradation if we can revive and mold those for our own purposes or pleasure? Why care about anything if we are (technological) Gods?! 8. Loss of History, Knowledge and Spatial Resolution The ever-accelerating process of digitization comes along with a certain loss or even destruction of data. This data can be in the form of history, cultural traditions, dead languages or important scientific information. For example, NASA recently admitted it has lost the ability to recover much of the computer data from some of the Apollo missions and the Moon landings. Thus certain kinds of vitally important and unique knowledge as well as history or cultural traditions are lost forever. To know if we are getting a good deal or not, we must first quantify the data losses and compare them to the potential gains. Yet, at the breakneck speed were moving forward, few have time for such calculations. It seems that we live in an analog universe with infinite resolution both zooming in and out, as far as we can. The process of digitization captures a mere fraction of it. Just like a compressed .mp3 file captures only a part of the actual musical performance, this process creates symbols which are digital representations of the real thing. The fear is we may end up losing awareness that the digital realm is a realm of symbols a mere reflection of the true analog universe, ending up in Platos Digital Cave of Illusions. 9. Computronium and Matrioshka Brains As far as we can tell it seems we live in a universe full of dumb matter. This, of course, makes for a pretty dumb universe too. However, extrapolating from our own development, it would appear that as time goes by there is a movement from less towards more intelligence in the universe. Thus, given enough time, more and more of our planet and, eventually our universe, is likely to contain and consist of more and more intelligent matter. This process is likely to continue until Moores Law collapses and an equilibrium is reached. Such a theoretical arrangement of matter the best possible configuration of any given amount to achieve a perfectly optimal computing device, is the substrate also known as computronium. A Matrioshka brain is a hypothetical megastructure of immense computational capacity. Based on the Dyson sphere, the concept derives its name from the Russian Matrioshka doll and is an example of a planet-size, solar-powered computer, capturing the entire energy output of a star. To form the Matrioshka brain all planets of the solar system are dismantled and a vast computational device inhabited by uploaded or virtual minds, inconceivably more advanced and complex than us, is created. So the idea is that eventually, one way or another, all matter in the universe will be smart. All dust will be smart dust, and all resources will be utilized to their optimum computing potential. There will be nothing else left but Matrioshka Brains and/or computronium 10. Fear of Change Fear of change and fear of the unkown are deeply embedded in the human psyche: We all want to be comfortable. Not knowing is very, very uncomfortable. Realizing that the coming change is radically unique both in scale and unpredictibility, adds more discomfort. When it comes to survival nobody likes surprises. So we take it as a matter of both personal as well as collective security to model and at least roughly foresee the future. The singularity is a radical change of arguably cosmic proportions, which is by definition impossible to model, let alone predict. Thus, there is no surprise it evokes very deep insecurity and primal fear. The question is: Are you afraid?! Are you not very, very afraid?! A.P. Note We also have posted an opposing view that suggests 10 reasons why we should NOT fear the Singularity. As we reach this theoretical point in mans evolution or devolution we need a serious dialogue about what we can expect in the near future and how we can best utilize our own technological progress.

3	Some Questions about DeflationRobert Blumen, Contributor According to dictionary.com, it is a fall in the general price level or a contraction of credit and available money. Falling prices. That sounds good, especially if you have set some cash set aside and are thinking about a major purchase. But as some additional research demonstrates, that would be a nave and simple-minded conclusion. It quickly becomes evident that deflation is a serious economic disease. According to the St Louis Fed, While the idea of lower prices may sound attractive, deflation is a real concern for several reasons. Deflation discourages spending and investment because consumers, expecting prices to fall further, delay purchases, preferring instead to save and wait for even lower prices. Decreased spending, in turn, lowers company sales and profits, which eventually increases unemployment. The problem with deflation is that it feeds on itself, destroying an economy along the way. It is the macro equivalent of a roach motel: perilously easy to enter but impossible to leave. The problem, you see, is that deflation reduces consumption, which reduces production, eventually shutting down all economic activity. Wikipedia explains it this way: Because the price of goods is falling, consumers have an incentive to delay purchases and consumption until prices fall further, which in turn reduces overall economic activity. Since this idles the productive capacity, investment also falls, leading to further reductions in aggregate demand. This is the deflationary spiral. Deflation is far worse than its doppelgnger, inflation, because the Fed can fight inflation by raising interest rates. Deflation is nearly impossible to stop once it has started because interest rates can only be cut to zero, no lower. For this reason, Ben Bernanke believes that monetary policy should be biased toward preventing deflation more than preventing inflation. Japan, according to Bloomberg has been battling deflation for more than a decade, with the average annual 0.3 percent decline in prices since 2000 damaging economic growth. The New York Times reports that Japans new prime minister Abe has galvanized markets by encouraging bold monetary measures to beat deflation. I hope that everyone is clear on this. Now that you understand the basics, I have some questions for the people who came up with this stuff. Why do falling prices make people expect falling prices? The observation that prices are falling, means that in the recent past, prices have fallen. One person noticing that the price of a good that appears somewhere on their value scale has fallen for some time might interpret that information and conclude that in the future, the price of that good will be lower. But a second individual might see the same thing and expect the price to level off and stay where it is, and a third might interpret falling prices as an indicator that in the future prices will be higher. Why should a price having fallen indicate that it will continue to fall? That is only one of three possible future trends. Why should past trends continue indefinitely? Why will the public mainly choose the first of these three outlooks, more than the other two? According to economist Jeffrey Herbener, the assumption that falling prices create expectations of more of the same is a feature of certain popular macroeconomic theories in which price expectations are modeled as part of the theory. In his testimony to Congress, Herbener observes that the downward spiral of prices is merely the logical implication of assumptions about expectations within formal economic models. If you assume that the agents operating in an economic model suffer from expectations that are self-reinforcing, then the model will produce a downward spiral. Are expectations self-reinforcing? It would make just as much sense to say that expectations are self-reversing after people have seen prices go down for a while, they will expect prices to go up. Are these formal models a good description of human action? Contrary to what these models say, there is no fixed response to an event. In my own experience, I can think of many times I or someone that I know jumped on a low price because we do not expect the opportunity to last. But what about wages? The postponement theory depends on the assumption that a fall in the prices will benefit buyers who wait. This is true if we are talking about people who have lots of cash and can sit on it indefinitely. But most of us have ongoing monthly expenses and we depend on our wages to replenish our cash reserves. Our purchasing power at the time when we want to make a delayed purchase, comes from our cash savings and our wages. A fall in wages, if substantial, would wipe out any gains in purchasing power realized from lower prices. If consumers do not buy today because they expect lower prices tomorrow, then what are their expectations about their wages? Do they anticipate that their wages be the same, higher, or lower? If lower, then by how much? As much as prices have fallen? If consumers forecast lower prices and stable wages, then why are consumer prices included the models but wages are not? Does deflation only affect consumer goods prices, leaving all other prices untouched? According to the deflationary death spiral theory, decisions not to buy drag the economy into a death spiral. Does anyone expect that could happen without affecting wages? And what about asset prices? In addition to cash savings and wages, individuals decide how much to spend and save taking into account the amount that they have already saved. Someone who is trying to save to meet their familys future needs will feel less comfortable about spending. Most people hold some of their savings in cash. That portion of their savings increases in purchasing power when prices fall. But people also save by purchasing financial assets, such as stocks and bonds, or real assets such as property, and rental housing. All of these assets have a price, which could rise or fall. Depending on the mix of cash and other assets that an individual holds, a fall in asset prices could wipe out any gains in purchasing power from the cash portion of their savings. Do people take value of their past savings into account when deciding whether to buy or wait? Or do people form expectations about consumer prices only and ignore what might happens to their savings in a deflation? If falling consumer prices generate expectations of more of the same, what impact do falling prices have on expectations about asset prices? Do buyers who delay purchases expect the prices of their saved assets to be lower as well? If not, then do they expect that consumer prices will be lower and asset prices will be higher? If deflation causes the economy to disintegrate, will asset prices be spared? Is it only buying behavior that is affected? The deflation death star begins to destroy the earth when buying is postponed. But is it only buying that is affected by expectations about the future? If buying is affected but not selling, then why not? If consumers expect lower prices of most things, including things that they already own, it is equally logical that they would sell their possessions and their assets in order to buy them back later at a lower price. Selling your home and renting a similar one would be the place to start. Selling your car and leasing would be the next step. Finally sell your saved assets for cash would be equally profitable. Expectations of lower prices should lead to a spiral of selling, driving prices down even faster, leading to more deflationary expectations and more selling until everyone has no possessions and no assets other than cash. If this happened, then who would buy? Do prices ever get low enough? If buyers expect lower prices, then how much lower? Any number in particular? If a buyer expects a specific lower price, and the price reaches that level, will he buy? Or does he always prices to go even lower than they are today, no matter how far they have fallen already? If expectations of lower prices turn out to be correct, and prices drop to even lower levels, then is there any point where a minority of contrarian buyers defect from the consensus and begin to see a bottom, or even an uptrend? Or do these expectations go on forever adapting to lower prices causing prices to drop indefinitely? The point of delaying a purchase is so that you can make the purchase in the future and have some additional cash left over to make another purchase or to save. What is the point of delaying a purchase that you never make? We have all had the experience of buying a new computer or some other device the day before the next version was released that costs less and does more. If you knew would you have waited? Maybe, but maybe not. If you need a computer for work, then you will buy it sooner rather than later. Many people delayed their purchase of the iPhone 4 in order to buy the iPhone 5, then they bought the iPhone 5. My iPhone4 was worn out by that time and I needed a new phone. According to the law of demand, a greater quantity of a good is demanded at a lower price than at a higher price. If that were true, then people would buy more, rather than postponing purchases. What happens to the law of demand in a deflation? It turns out at that the law of demand has a loophole: it requires that all other things remain equal. In a deflation death spiral, all things are not equal. Consumer preferences change in response to prices. Stationary supply and demand curves do not exist in such a world. For prices to fall and yet still fail to induce buyers to buy, the quantity demanded must always fall by more than enough to compensate for the lower asking price. The demand curve is always shifting downwards faster than the price falls, to prevent an equilibrium price from ever forming. Economist W. H. Hutt calls this an infinitely elastic demand for money. Does this describe the world that we live in, or any world that we could imagine? Do people really react in such a mechanical way to price changes? How do we explain, for example, shoppers competing to buy at low prices? Why do sellers not lower prices? Why is it only buyers whose expectations of lower prices are based on falling prices? Are the expectations of sellers included in the model? If not, is that because the models assume that sellers not have expectations? Or do the expectations of sellers not match the expectations of buyers? If sellers have the expectations of lower prices, why do they not lower their prices immediately in order to sell inventory ahead of their competitors? If buyers and sellers both expect future prices to be lower, why do market prices not converge upon this new, lower level immediately? If customers are postponing purchases expecting lower prices in the future, but sellers do not cooperate, then inventories will accumulate. If this began to happen, then why would sellers not lower their prices immediately in order to clear out inventories? All of us are both buyers and sellers, of different things at different times. To say that only the expectations of buyers are affected by falling prices is to say that the same person at one time has expectations about his own future purchases but later the same day, does not have expectations about his own current and future sales. Does the model assume that we have all been lobotomized so the two sides of our brain do not communicate with each other? Do producers have any control over their costs? In the previous question, I asked whether sellers expect lower prices as well as buyers. If the producers expected lower prices, why did they go ahead and produce, or order the products with such high costs that they could not make a profit? If a single business firm is experiencing fewer sales, they may not be able to reduce their costs because a single firm is close to being a price taker in the markets for labor and capital. There are usually alternative uses for their factors that value them more highly, at or close to current prices. But if prices, and sales are falling everywhere, or if everyone expects this to be the case, then why will suppliers not lower their prices if they expect their costs to be lower? What are people doing with the money that they did not spend? Suppose that people postpone spending. What do they do with the money not spent? Are they increasing their cash holdings? Or are they spending on investment goods? Saving and investing is a form of spending, only the expenditure is for capital goods rather than consumer goods. In this case, there would be no general decline in total spending, nor employment. Workers would have to change jobs from consumption industries to capital goods industries as Hayek explains in his essay The Paradox of Savings, but production would continue. How much lower prices are necessary to induce people to postpone purchases? There is a return on the purchase of a consumption good, namely the services provided by the good. This must be balanced against the return on cash by holding until prices are lower. As noted by, Center for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) a small price change is not much of a motivation to wait, if you need a new product: Samuelson gets some of the other aspects of this issue wrong. For example, he says that Japans deflation is a problem in part because falling prices cause people to delay purchases since items will be cheaper in the future. This would be true for rapid rates of deflation, but Japans deflation has almost always been less than 1.0 percent a year. In 2011 its inflation rate was -0.2 percent. This means that if someone was considering buying a $20,000 car, they could save $40 by waiting a year. It is unlikely that this rate of deflation affected the timing of many purchases to any significant extent. Why do quantities adjust but not costs? If there is a generalized increase in money demand, then prices need to adjust downwards. Why is it that all the quantity of goods bought and the quantity of labor employed can adjust, but prices cannot? According to The Asia Times, when deflation strikes, factories lay workers off in order to cut costs. Why cannot producers lower their bid prices to their labor force and their suppliers in order to preserve production? If they could lower their costs, then they could produce profitably at a lower price level. The general price level does not matter to business firms, so long as their costs are below their sale prices. Why does a deflationary melt-down assume that business can not operate profitably at any nominal price level? Why can business not lower costs? Is this really what caused the Great Depression? What about the credit bubble of the 1920s? What about bank failures? The great contraction of the money supply? The Smoot-Hawley tarrif? What about regime uncertainty? How about new deal wage and price policies that prevented prices from falling, which would have allowed employment to recover? Conclusion The deflation death spiral is a theoretical description of a situation but it does not describe the reality of human action, for any number of reasons: The other conclusion you can draw from this is to be very wary of accepting the goverment spin on economics. You should also be wary of taking advice from experts who base their expectations of outcomes on the way the government says the economic world works.

1	A Southeastern Conference replay official conducting a video review of a sideline catch during the Alabama-Tennessee game Saturday overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling granting women the right to abortions. 'Well, I certainly don't know what the refs were looking at down on the field to make that call,' CBS analyst Gary Danielson said moments after the controversial ruling came in. 'A woman's right to choose her reproductive future is clearly covered by the constitutional right to privacy, and that guy certainly didn't have control of the ball when he went out of bounds.' Confirming the conference stood by the decision, an SEC spokesperson also said that officials would be disciplined for last week's FloridaMississippi State game, in which a 'grave error' was made when a replay call upheld both a Florida touchdown in which the ballcarrier had clearly fumbled before crossing the goal line and Brown v. Board of Education. 
1	Saying they were becoming closed-off adults right before his very eyes, local father Peter Halfon, 49, described to reporters Wednesday his continued amazement at how quickly his kids are growing distant. Halfon, who said he is unable to believe how cold his 18-year-old daughter and 16-year-old son have gotten, reluctantly admitted to reporters that the years when his children spent all day playing, laughing, and acknowledging his existence seemed to pass in a heartbeat. You always hear people talk about how quickly kids grow detached, but you never really understand until youre actually a parent, said Halfon, explaining that he always knew his children would not remain little kids who cared what he had to say forever, but hardly anticipated the changes happening so abruptly. One minute youre listening to them tell you everything they learned that morning in preschool, and the next you realize you cant name a single one of their interests or friends names. It seems like they go from being tiny, helpless infants to teenagers who actively wish you werent a part of their lives overnight, he continued. You just shake your head and think to yourself: Where did the time and any shred of affection go? Sharing some of his favorite memories, the father of two recalled car rides to day care and Little League with his young children in the backseat, admitting that it still sometimes shocks him that they are now old enough to drive on their own to wherever it is that they go. Halfon then quietly laughed before telling reporters that he swore it was only yesterday he was rocking his daughter to sleep in the bedroom he is no longer allowed in. In addition, Halfon suggested that new parents cherish their children while they are still young, expressing his astonishment at just how much time has gone by since his son and daughter said their first words or anything at all to him. You really notice how much your kids have grown apart during those big milestones, said Halfon, citing his sons first after-school job he was never informed of and his daughters senior musical, which he only learned about through Facebook photos. My son, Michael, just left to go hang out with his girlfriend whom he has no desire to ever introduce me to, and I still cant believe my daughter, Elizabeth, is now searching for colleges without me. I just have to accept that shes no longer a little girl who speaks and makes eye contact with me, Halfon added. Explaining that it is simply a part of life, Halfon told reporters that, before he knows it, his children will be moving out of the family home that they mentally checked out of years ago. The local father then added that its only a matter of time before he hears that his children have found apartments of their own, started their careers, and settled down with partners, likely during brief once-per-month conversations when his kids finally decide to return his phone calls. Additionally, Halfon marveled that the day was not far off when his children would have remote, alienated children of their own. Sometimes I forget that Elizabeth and Michael are practically fully estranged adults now, said Halfon, looking through old family photos from when his daughter hadnt yet learned to walk or ignore him entirely. You catch yourself expecting them to call you Daddy instead of resentfully scoffing at your presence, like theyre 5 years old again. But I just have to remind myself those days are over. At this point, added Halfon, I just have to step back and let them go off and do, wellI dont knowwhatever it is they like doing. As of press time, Halfons children had completely disregarded their fathers requests for comment.

3	17 Signs That A Full-Blown Economic Depression Is Raging In Southern Europe Is The U.S. Next?selfnews Post Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal all tried to just slow down the rate at which their government debts were increasing, and look at what happened to their economies. In each case, GDP is shrinking, unemployment is skyrocketing, credit is freezing up and manufacturing is declining. And you know what? None of those countries has even gotten close to a balanced budget yet. They are all still going into even more debt. Just imagine what would happen if they actually tried to only spend the money that they brought in? I have always said that the next wave of the economic collapse would start in Europe and that is exactly what is happening. So keep watchingEurope. What is happening to them will eventually happen to us. The following are 17 signs that a full-blown economic depression is raging in southern Europe #1 The Italian economy is in the midst of a horrifying credit crunch that is causing thousands of companies to go bankrupt Confindustria, the business federation, said 29pc of Italian firms cannot meet operational expenses and are starved of liquidity. A third phase of the credit crunch is underway that matches the shocks in 2008-2009 and again in 2011. In a research report the group said the economy was caught in a vicious circle where banks are too frightened to lend, driving more companies over the edge. A thousand are going bankrupt every day. #3 During the 4th quarter of 2012, the youth unemployment rate in Greece was 57.8 percent. #4 The unemployment rate in Spain has reached 26 percent. #5 In Spain there are 107 unemployed workers for every available job. #6 The unemployment rate in Italy is now 11.7 percent. That is the highest that it has been since Italy joined the euro. #7 The youth unemployment rate in Italy has risen to a new all-time record high of 38.7 percent. #8 Unemployment in the eurozone as a whole has reached a new all-time high of 11.9 percent. #9 Italys economy is starting to shrink at a frightening pace Data from Italys national statistics institute ISTAT showed that the countrys economy shrank by 0.9pc in the fourth quarter of last year and gross domestic product was down a revised 2.8pc year-on-year. #10 The Greek economy is contracting even faster than the Italian economy is Greece also sank further into recession during the fourth quarter of 2012, with figures on Monday showing the economy contracted by 5.7pc year-on-year. #11 Overall, the Greek economy has contracted by more than 20 percent since 2008. #12 Manufacturing activity is declining just about everywhere in Europeexcept for Germany Research group Markit said its index of activity in UK manufacturing where 50 is the cut off between growth and decline sank from 50.5 in January to 47.9 in February. It left Britain on the brink of a third recession in five years after the economy shrank by 0.3 per cent in the final quarter of 2012. Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit, said: This represents a major setback to hopes that the UK economy can return to growth in the first quarter and avoid a triple-dip recession. The eurozone manufacturing index also read 47.9. Germany scored 50.3 but Spain hit 46.8, Italy 45.8 and France 43.9. #13 The percentage of bad loans in Italian banks has risen to 12.2 percent. Back in 2007, that number was sitting at just 4.5 percent. #14 Bank deposits experienced significant declines all over Europeduring the month of January. #15 Private bond default rates are soaring all over southern Europe SP said the default rate for Italian non-investment grade bonds jumped to 9.5pc last year from 5.7pc in 2012 as local banks shut off funding. It was even worse in Spain, doubling to 14.3pc. The default rate in France rocketed from 0.8pc to 8.7pc, the latest in a blizzard of bad news from the country as the delayed effects of tax rises, fiscal tightening, and the strong euro do their worst. #16 Lars Feld, a key economic adviser to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, recently said the following The sustainability of Italian public finances is in jeopardy. The euro crisis will therefore return shortly with a vengeance. #17 Things have gotten so bad in Greece that the Greek government plans to sell off 28 state-owned buildings including the main police headquarters in Athens. One of the few politicians in Europe that actually understands what is happening in Europe is Nigel Farage. A video of one of his recent rants is posted below. Farage believes that the Eurozone has been a complete economic disaster and that the worst is yet to come Most people believe that the eurozone has been saved, but that is not even close to the truth. In fact, it becomes more likely that we will see the eurozone break up with each passing day. So who would leave first? Well, recently there have been rumblings among some German politicians that Greece should be the first to leave. The following is from a recent Reuters article Greece remains the biggest risk for the euro zone despite a calming of its economic and political crisis and may still have to leave the common currency, a senior conservative ally of German Chancellor Angela Merkel said. But there is also a chance that Germany could eventually be the first nation that decides to leave the euro. In fact, a new political party is forming in Germany that is committed to getting Germany out of the euro. The following is a brief excerpt from a recent article by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard A new party led by economists, jurists, and Christian Democrat rebels will kick off this week, calling for the break-up of monetary union before it can do any more damage. An end to this euro, is the first line on the webpage of Alternative fr Deutschland (AfD). The introduction of the euro has proved to be a fatal mistake, that threatens the welfare of us all. The old parties are used up. They stubbornly refuse to admit their mistakes. They propose German withdrawl from EMU and return to the D-Mark, or a breakaway currency with the Dutch, Austrians, Finns, and like-minded nations. The French are not among them. The borders run along the ancient line of cleavage dividing Latins from Germanic tribes. However this all plays out, the reality is that things are about to get much more interesting in Europe. No debt bubble lasts forever. The Europeans are finding that out right now, and the U.S. wont be too far behind. But for the moment, most Americans assume that everything is going to be okay because the Dow keeps setting new all-time record highs. Well, enjoy this little bubble of debt-fueled false prosperity while you can, because it wont last for long. A massive wake-up call is coming, and it will be exceedingly painful for those that are not ready for it. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

3	Will U.S. House of Representatives Resolution 779 EVER Be Published?By Catherine J. Frompovich The Resolution provides that not later than 7 days after the date of the adoption of this resolution, the Chairman and ranking minority member of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives shall publish in the Congressional Record the 28-page chapter which was redacted from the December 2002 Final Report of the Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001. Will that redacted 28-page chapter ever see the light of day and be published in the Congressional Record? That depends, I guess, upon whose ox or ass is being gored, as they say. Shouldnt every American be calling his/her Members of Congress and asking them to adopt House Resolution 779 immediately so we can find out what we are entitled to know: the facts of what happened on 9/11? However, a rather interesting report published by the LaRouche PAC titled British, Saudi and FBI Complicity Exposed in Orlando Mass Killings: The Same People Who Brought You 9/11 was emailed to me, and so I share it with my readers. I believe the more we know about the sordid issues and deals that affect our lives and loved ones, which we havent known about, the better we will be able to come to rationalfact-basedanswers that determine national and foreign policiesnot backroom mover and shaker deals. That LaRouche Report states in part: Half of the so called terrorism cases opened by the FBI since 9/11 involved these sting techniques, and in many cases, the targets were mentally ill, or financially desperate, or both. If you want to know how the British control and manipulate American politics, just carefully study this Anglo-Saudi-FBI nexus. It is this apparatus which has been a dominant factor since the 1985 launching of the Anglo-Saudi Al Yamamah oil-for-weapons-deal, with its offshore secret accounts to bankroll global jihadi terrorismthat must be fully exposed and crushed if the United States is ever to gain its independence. This is why the British and the Saudis and the FBI are terrified about the prospect of the 28-pages getting released. The evidence contained in those pagesregardless of the lies coming out of John Brennan and Barack Obamaopen the window on the entire top-down British Empire control over global terrorism. The just filed H.Res.799, demanding the classified 28-page chapter from the Joint Congressional Inquiry into 9/11 be immediately published in the Congressional Record, with no Obama or John Brennan interference, under the Constitutional separations of the power, is a powerful intervention. The fact that the bill was introduced the day that the Saudi Deputy Crown Prince and power behind the throne, Prince Mohammed bin Salman arrived in Washington to meet John Kerry, Ashton Carter, John Brennan, James Clapper, Paul Ryan and Nancy Pelosi is perfect timing. This is a showdown moment and every sane force must be mobilized to force the truth about British-Saudi Empire out, and to bring that Empire down once and for all. [1] It ought to be noted that Orlando mass murderer Omar Mateen was a long-time employee of one of the biggest and nastiest of the British Crowns private security agenciesG4S, with 620,000 employees in over 100 countries. G4S is the third largest private corporation in the world, and it is a critical part of the British Monarchys invisible empire of private mercenaries, assassins and clandestine operatives. In the United States, G4S has security contracts for 90% of the nations nuclear power plants, is a major sub-contractor for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and even handled the security for the British Petroleum offshore oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, which is where Omar Mateen worked for a number of years. [1] If the LaRouche PAC found the above information, why arent the U.S. Congress, media, and federal agencies doing something with or about it? Thats what leads me to ask, Dont you think its about time we really learn what happened on 9/11 and, specifically, whats in that classified and redacted 28-page report that some interests apparently want to use as a fierce cudgel while doing everything to keep it redacted? That should be a red flag for everyone!

The British are definitely not behind terrorism in the Word today. Just look at the facts or reality as evidenced by the actions of various parties. The UK, all of Europe, the Middle East and Russia are at terrible risk from the proximity of terrorists in their midst or close to their borders. The US, on the other hand has to import terrorism because its borders are far removed from the terrorist centres. The US created the Taliban and al Queda to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan in the 1980s. Then, like Dr. Frankenstein, they lost control of their monsters. Al Queda became ISIS or ISIL and is one of the most virulent extremist groups in the Word today. The US demands regime change in Syria, not for the benefit of the Syrian people but for its own nefarious purposes, whatever they are. The US is covertly supporting these dangerous and conscienceless terrorists, while hypocritically pretending to fight them. That is why after more than two years of civil war in Syria with the US busily dropping bombs, the terrorists thrived. Then in comes the nation the West just loves to hate, Russia and it actually fights the terrorists and sends them packing. Now dead silence from the Western hypocrites! Interesting huh? True.True. But Isis gets their $$$ mostly thru non traceable traffic such as drugs.stolen oil.etc. With help from C.I.A.assets. My research leads me to several Mexican drug cartels that are affiliated thru drug,oil sales(stolen) as well as money laundering. Last updates show Mexican drug cartel support of Isis terrorist activities along U.S. border towns. They buy/sell drugs,oil and prostitution. My guess is they are working together. And will work even closer as ISIS gets beat down in Syria. Check out act of parliament Ceste qui vie 1666, after the great fire of london. It is Yes, I do agree! Lmao my comment was flagged wtf did I say wrong Alex Jones is a shill or trump is a deception apparently worse than Obama cus yall falling for it like some suckers The report will never be published. Just as Hillary will never be held accountable. PLease Archie you kaint be that naive the Royals are up to their rednecks in behind the scenes manipulation. Suggested read: the Committee of 300 John D. Coleman the Royals have been invading countries throughout history. For 400 years the Royals have been the authority in British Government but have not had the power, which resides in the Prime minister and the Parliament. The Queen could no more start a war than Mickey Mouse could! Catherine, I have a question for you pertaining to the Dunkin Donuts near the Pulse nightclub. With all the terrible loss of life that day, why didnt they make the decision to just go ahead and pull it? Shouldnt every American be calling his/her Members of Congress and asking them to adopt House Resolution 779 immediately so we can find out what we are entitled to know: the facts of what happened on 9/11? Yes, we need to know how badly government pulled the wool over our eyes then, and hopefully, why! Then, the perpetrators need to face justice!!! This video has been removed by the user. both 
3	British intelligence repeatedly tried to recruit London attacker according to friendMadison Ruppert Abedolajo, a 28-year-old British national of Nigerian descent, was identified by friends, acquaintances and British media as the man seen in the video of the aftermath of the Woolwich murder. The BBC reported that Adebolajo and 22-year-old Michael Adebowale were both known to MI5 for eight years, citing anonymous Whitehall sources. According to the New York Times, Adebowale was born in Nigeria and immigrated to the UK as a child. Adebolajo was born in Britain to a Christian family that moved from Nigeria. Adebolajo reportedly converted to Islam after the attacks on September 11, 2001. MI5 allegedly attempted to recruit Adebolajo According to Adebolajos friend Abu Nusaybah, MI5 agents attempted to recruit Adebolajo six months ago. Interestingly, Nusaybah was arrested immediately after he made the statements to the BBC in an interview. Nusaybah was arrested by British counter-terrorism police on suspected terrorism offenses, according to CNN. The arrest was not connected to the Woolwich killing, according to a Scotland Yard spokesman who talked to CNN. Police confirmed that Nusaybah, 31, had been arrested in relation to suspected terrorism offenses, according to the BBC. Police added that search warrants were being executed at two east London homes. Adebolajo in Kenya In the interview, Nusaybah said that he believed a change took place in Adebolajo after he returned from a trip to Kenya last year. According to Nusaybah, Adebolajo went to Kenya to study but was rounded up by Kenyan troops, interrogated and beaten quite badly. Nusaybah said that in his opinion Adebolajo had been sexually abused though Adebolajo was too ashamed to say what happened. Adebolajo became less talkative he wasnt his bubbly self, according to Nusaybah, and his mind was somewhere else. When Adebolajo returned from Kenya to the UK, he was stopped and later followed up by MI5 who were knocking on his door. Adebolajo was basically being harassed, according to Nusaybah. His wording was, They are bugging me they wont leave me alone, Nusaybah said of Adebolajo. Initially they wanted to ask him if he knew certain individuals. But after him saying that he didnt know these individuals, what he said was they asked him if he would be interested in working for them, Nusaybah said. He was explicit in that he refused to work for them but he did confirm he didnt know the individuals. CNN, however, cited Kenyan counter-terrorism sources who said that Adebolajo traveled to Kenya in November 2010 and was arrested in the coastal town of Lamu for trying to cross illegally into Somalia. Some refuse to condemn the attack A friend of Adebolajo, Abu Baraa, refused to condemn the killing and called Adebolajo very caring in an interview with CNN. Similarly, Omar Bakri, a Syrian-born Islamist who reportedly once taught Adebolajo, said he was surprised by Adebolajo. When I saw that, honestly I was very surprised standing firm, courageous, brave. Not running away. Rather, he said why he carried (it out) and he wanted the whole world to hear it, Bakri said. Bakri, along with Shah Jalal Hussain, who was convicted of fundraising for terrorists in a UK court, debated Christian apologists Sam Shamoun of Answering Islam and David Wood of Answering Muslims in 2011. Anjem Choudary, who previously protested with Adebolajo, similarly praised the attack in an interview on the BBC.

1	Responding to widespread criticism of its decision to air coverage of Olympic events on a six-hour time delay, NBC issued an apology Tuesday to American viewers, saying it was really, really sorry for failing to alter the governing laws of space and time to accommodate everyones precious schedules. 'We at NBC would like to sincerely apologize for not doing something so simple as to modify the physical properties of the known universe so that you could go home and watch the womens 100-meter backstroke live,' chief digital officer Vivian Schiller said in response to widespread criticism on social media, adding that the network would 'get one of our theoretical physicists right on that for you.' 'On second thought, we really should have considered manipulating the invariant properties of the space-time continuum while we were still in the planning stages of our coverage, and, boy, it sure was silly of us not to.' Schiller noted that if viewers continue to be dissatisfied with the networks coverage, they can feel free to switch over to an alternate plane of reality wherein temporal events and the subjective experience of said events may be shifted at will. 
2	Target Surrenders To Shariah Law In This Sickening Way According to recent reports, Target stores have implemented a new policy that specially caters to Muslim cashiers. The national retailer recently announced that those who object to ringing up products that contain pork are being shifted to other positions within the organization. The retailer notes that some Muslim cashiers had refused to scan products like bacon because it would interfere with their religious beliefs. Reportedly, Muslim employees would ask other cashiers and coworkers to ring up the purchases. Some even went as far as asking the customers to scan the items themselves. We are confident that this is a reasonable solution for our guests and team members, said Target spokeswoman Paula Thorton-Greear about the decision to offer Muslim cashiers the options of wearing gloves or shifting to other positions. Greear said the problem was only taking place in a specific area. It is not an issue in most of our stores in the Twin cities, Greear claimed in an email. There is also no indication that is an issue in the Minnesota market overall or nationwide. They told all of us who dont touch pork to go to the sales floor, Suhara Robla, a Muslim who currently works at a Super Target told reporters. They didnt really say why. They just said it was a new policy. What do you think of Targets decision? 
1	Matthew Stuart, an enthusiastic 33-year-old junior executive at Boston Tea Market, Inc., gets things done quickly, confidently, and terribly, sources at the tea supplier said Monday. Stuart in his office, which he calls 'mission control.' 'Matt is always willing to take on new responsibilities,' said Nellie Jordan, Stuart's direct supervisor. 'In fact, just this week he was responsible for the boneheaded move of reorganizing the 500 items in our new catalog alphabetically, instead of by product group. Really screwed it up good.' Boston Tea Market distributes high-end teas and tea-brewing accouterments to coffee shops, restaurants, and retail stores. Stuart decided that an alphabetical listing would make the company's catalog easier to use and took the initiative to redesign the winter issue. 'See, if you work here you'd want to be able to go right to 'S' to find the order number for Sunshine Organic Green Tea,' said Jordan, scowling as she paged through the catalog printout. 'On the other hand, Matt, if you're a customer, you might wish to find it by looking at a page of green teas.' 'At least he got it done before deadline,' Jordan added. 'I know that when I make him change it, he won't complain.' Because of his positive attitude and boundless energy, Stuart's frequent errors in judgment are generally overlooked. 'Everyone here really likes Matt,' Jordan said. 'You never really notice what an idiot he is until you're cleaning up his mess. He loves to roll his sleeves up, get in there, and fuck all sorts of things up.' 'Matt is usually the first one here in the morning,' coworker Karla Groff said. 'There's always a fresh pot of nasty, weak coffee brewing when the rest of us get in.' A graduate of Boston College's Carroll School of Management, Stuart said he has always enjoyed the 'game of business.' 'I love to get out there on the court and take the bull by the horns,' Stuart said. 'I'm not afraid of hard work, never have been. Leadership is in my blood.' Stuart, who has called himself the 'king of multi-tasking,' has shown himself to be a highly motivated employee ever since starting with the company four years ago. 'We're a small business, so a take-charge person can really wear a lot of hats,' sales manager Ronnie King said. 'That means there's plenty of work for which Matt is completely unqualified, like overhauling the company database or developing new teas in the test kitchen.' 'He's wonderful at getting everyone going, often in the wrong direction,' King continued. 'Last week, he pulled a team of stockers off the warehouse floor and set them up in a conference room in order to come up with 10 ways to streamline product unloading. At 20 employees and four hours of discussion, it cost us about 80 combined hours of labor.' Jordan admitted that she was initially impressed by Stuart's enthusiasm. 'It's great to have someone who always volunteers to spearhead a project,' Jordan said. 'I thought it was great how he was excited to bounce ideas around. Very bad ideas, I soon noticed.' While many of Stuart's ideas are never used, some occasionally pass as 'original,' due to the strength and force of his hopelessly misapplied personal energy. Promotions coordinator Jane Eckerly detailed one of Stuart's recent projects. '[Stuart] did this thing called the Tea & Toast mailer, where we mailed prospective clients samples of our tea along with toasters and a loaf of bread,' Eckerly said. 'I'm guessing everyone voted for the idea pretty much to give Matt something to do.' 'Not my fault,' Eckerly added. 'I was on vacation.' Ultimately, the mailers cost the company approximately $10,000 and resulted in only two new clients. The connection between high-quality teas and warm toast, while strong in Stuart's mind, didn't seem to translate to product-buyers at coffee shops, restaurants, and retail stores. Most thought the toasters were sent by accident. 'From a distance, Matt seems to be shaking things up,' Eckerly said. 'He's always briskly walking through the office, on his way to an important meeting. But when he stops and tells you how he wants to market sun-dried-tomato tea, the speed-walking seems less impressive.' Despite the failure of many of his campaigns, employees at the company still perceive Stuart as an ambitious go-getter. 'I don't know Matt very well, but it seems like he's really on the ball,' president Gil Schneider said. 'I always notice him signed up to use the boardroom, and I get a lot of emails from him. I'll have to keep him in mind next time I need a go-to guy.' 
3	GE13: Whats at stake for Malaysia?Nile Bowie The opposition coalition, which has vowed to eliminate authoritarianism and elite graft, has released a manifesto that some have lauded, while others have been more skeptical of by questioning how the coalition plans on executing many of their programs. The dissolution of parliament is just around the corner and it cannot be denied that many are dissatisfied with the status quo, and there is a large demographic of young voters who want to challenge the ruling coalitions infallibility at the polls. The surfacing of contentious issues close to election-time has created a notable climate of disillusion in Malaysias critical blogosphere. Among those are concerns that immigrants in Sabah were given citizenship and voting rights during Dr. Mahathirs era on the condition that they vote in favor of the ruling party. The recent expos documenting members of Taib Mahmuds family openly talking of skirting Malaysian tax law has gone viral, putting enormous pressure on Najibs administration to take action. Many, especially among the young, feel animosity toward the government for the way in which the Bersih demonstrations were dispersed. These factors do not bode well for the ruling party, but despite the shortcomings that should rightfully be addressed, it should be acknowledged that from a developmental point of view, Malaysia has historically been among the top-tier of well-governed countries in the region and the ruling coalition has been very successful in numerous areas. In the United States, the Obama administration has found itself so indebted, that it was forced to pass the Sequester bill, cutting $85 million from the federal budget, primarily targeting social programs that the downtrodden and the elderly depend on. In both cases, the most vulnerable members of society have been forced to pick up the tab for governments and investors that have recklessly managed their economies and instituted punishing belt-tightening austerity measures. In stark contrast, the Najib administration has extended its hand to the poor be it single mothers, taxi drivers, low-earning families or young entrepreneurs by introducing a wide range of credit schemes, vouchers, and subsidies that have helped the pace of development. Malaysians often overlook the fact that Malaysia has one of the lowest inflation rates in the world, the Najib government has made it a priority to implement people-friendly policies and programs of social uplift, exactly what the people of Greece, Spain, and Portugal have been asking their bureaucratic leaders for. Najibs 1Malaysia program, the central backbone of his populist policies, has been criticized for lacking substance. One should note that the current leadership is trying to deemphasize ethnicity, and in a country where complaints of race-politics are commonplace, this should be rightfully seen as a welcoming development. There is no doubt that the current leadership is well aware of the criticisms and the short-comings, hence the emphasis being placed on economic and governmental transformation programs that have the potential to deliver increased stability and bring about an economic climate where more bold reforms are possible in the near-future. The fervor and passions of the Arab Spring revolts are something that, for better or for worse, inspired many throughout the world to take a bold position against the status quo in their countries in a series of solidarity protests that emerged everywhere from Manhattan to Khartoum. Malaysias opposition leader has also attempted to invoke the passions of the Arab Spring, and as a result of that, it is the opinion of this observer that a great deal of Malaysias political discourse downplays or tarnishes the achievements of the country things are too often presented simplistically and painted black and white. Still, bloggers and dissidents have harnessed the web and it cannot be denied that Malaysia enjoys a high degree of expression related to political pluralism. The toppling of regimes during the Arab Spring revolts in countries like Egypt and Tunisia through non-insurgent means were possible primarily for two reasons. Discontent was driven by people in those countries because they lived under a far more pronounced model of political subjugation; they lacked freedoms of political association and the economies of those countries failed to deliver meaningful opportunities to the masses. In the Malaysian context, even with elite corruption and cronyism, there is still a sufficient amount of political breathing space and more prominently, the Malaysian economy is among the most energetic in the region the optimism that comes with exploringunchartedeconomic terrain, the prospects of entrepreneurship, and competition can be felt among the people. For these reasons, Malaysia is not suited for a change in government by means of street action and the like far too many Malaysians still see themselves being more economically stable and materially advantaged by the status quo. The opposition coalition does promote some laudable promises in their approach, such as delivering free education, the proliferation of open-tenders, and the pledge to bite down on graft whether or not this can be achieved is difficult to say. What should be more immediately concerning is that the most prominent element within the opposition coalition, the Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS), has historically held steadfast to its goal of transforming Malaysia into a Islamic state, one that would adhere to sharia law and Islamic penal code. Given the complex multi-ethnic and multi-religious makeup of Malaysian society, the empowering of a party that promotes such a political program has the potential to deepen social divisions and strain race-relations, and thus, a Malaysian federal government with such a party at its helm could pose serious challenges to the maintenance of racial harmony. This observer has witnessed many Malaysians (especially among opposition supporters) express their nostalgia for days past, when races more liberally interacted with each other and identity was less of an issue. Those who hold such sentiments should reflect on the Islamic resurgence that has swept Malaysia throughout the 1980s, the impact of which gave rise to the more pronounced adherence to Islamic fashion, lifestyles and diet. The issuance of hudud-policies that would follow the empowering of an Islamist party in Malaysia would unequivocally deepen inter-ethnic friction. The aftermath of the Arab Spring in Egypt provides an example that could resemble the Malaysian context, whereby enormous social unrest emerged between secular and Islamist forces after an Islamist party took the helm, followed by severe inflation and economic stagnation in which Egypt remains mired in today. PASs management record in Kelantan and Kedah shows that the party places less emphasis on economic development, focusing more on penal code and the suppression of life style choices that do not adhere to their interpretation of Islam this is not the kind of change that progressive-minded Malaysians have been calling for and they should not be fooled into giving this party a mandate to lead. One could predict the short-term scenarios of a victory for the opposition, such as short-term market instability and a possible power struggle among the strange bedfellows that make up the opposition coalition, but long-term scenarios are uncertain. The most pressing concern is that the upward momentum of Malaysias growth could be held back as opposition parties embark on their own political and economic programs, effectively derailing the economic transformation agenda to obtain high-income status by 2020, the policy-brainchild of Dr. Mahathir that is still being carried out today with creditable progress. This kind of analysis is not fear mongering of any sort, but rather a reflection of the unfamiliar terrain Malaysia would embark on if Najib were unable to obtain his mandate. It should be remembered that Najib was not previously elected, and he has had to work within the confines of an administration setup by his predecessor. If Najib were given the mandate to form his own administration, he would have to take a bold and meaningful stance on elite corruption and opulent lifestyles by necessity in addition to passing more popular reforms. Najibs primary problem is that his reforms are perceived as cosmetic by a significant portion of commentators, although it is the personal opinion of this observer that the incumbent has undoubtedly moved in the right direction by deconstructing draconian legislation of days past. Najibs commitment to addressing the grievances of racial minorities is often intertwined with Malaysias longstanding New Economic Policy (NEP), which many Chinese and Indian communities feel economically alienates them as they struggle to penetrate into circles of higher education and high-income employment. It should be noted that minority communities have been able to practice their culture and religion without hindrance, and pursue their business interests with minimum intervention from the state. On that note, more should be done to reform the NEP by making the elements of the program available to recipients on a needs-basis, and populist schemes associated with 1Malaysia have already began to move in that direction. Among other primary concerns are stringently improving transparency and accountability, institutionalizing firm anti-corruption measures, and the pursuit of an independent foreign policy. Members of the opposition and senior officials like Dr. Mahathir alike are concerned with Malaysias participation in the Transpacific Partnership (TPP) talks, a largely undisclosed US-led free trade agreement. Malaysias political independence and sovereignty comes first and foremost, and whoever takes Putrajaya must defend the interests of the people and enhance their happiness and economic well being.

3	30 Million Americans On Antidepressants And 20 Other Facts About Americas Big Pharma NightmareMichael Snyder As you will read about below, more than 30 million Americans are currently on antidepressants and doctors in the U.S. wrote more than 250 million prescriptions for painkillers last year. Sadly, most people got hooked on these drugs very innocently. They trusted that their doctors would never prescribe something for them that would be harmful, and they trusted that the federal government would never approve any drugs that were not safe. And once the drug companies get you hooked, they often have you for life. You see, the reality of the matter is that some of these legal drugs are actually some of the most addictive substances on the entire planet. And when they start raising the prices on those drugs, there isnt much that the addicts can do about it. It is a brutally efficient business model, and the pharmaceutical industry guards their territory fiercely. Very powerful people will often do some really crazy things when there are hundreds of billions of dollars at stake. The following are 21 facts about Americas endless pharmaceutical nightmare that everyone should know #1 According to the New York Times, more than 30 million Americans are currently taking antidepressants. #2 The rate of antidepressant use among middle aged women is far higher than for the population as a whole. At this point, one out of every four women in their 40s and 50s is taking an antidepressant medication. #3 Americans account for about five percent of the global population, but we buy more than 50 percent of the pharmaceutical drugs. #4 Americans also consume a whopping 80 percent of all prescription painkillers. #5 It is hard to believe, but doctors in the United States write 259 million prescriptions for painkillers each year. Prescription painkillers are some of the most addictive legal drugs, and our doctors are serving as enablers for millions upon millions of Americans that find themselves hooked on drugs that they cannot kick. #6 Overall, pharmaceutical drug use in America is at an all-time high. According to a study conducted by the Mayo Clinic, nearly 70 percent of all Americans are on at least one prescription drug, and 20 percent of all Americans are on at least five prescription drugs. #7 According to the CDC, approximately 9 out of every 10 Americans who are at least 60 years old say that they have taken at least one prescription drug within the last month. #8 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. #9 A very disturbing Government Accountability Office report found that approximately one-third of all foster children in the United States are on at least one psychiatric drug. #10 An astounding 95 percent of the experimental medicines that the pharmaceutical industry produces are found not to be safe and are never approved. Of the remaining 5 percent that are approved, we often do not find out that they are deadly to us until decades later. #11 One study discovered that mothers that took antidepressants during pregnancy were four times more likely to have a baby that developed an autism spectrum disorder. #12 It has been estimated that prescription drugs kill approximately 200,000 people in the United States every single year. #13 An American dies from an unintentional prescription drug overdose every 19 minutes. According to Dr. Sanjay Gupta, accidental prescription drug overdose is the leading cause of acute preventable death for Americans. #14 In the United States today, prescription painkillers kill more Americans than heroin and cocaine combined. #15 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. #16 The number of prescription drug overdose deaths in the United States is five times higher than it was back in 1980. #17 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. #18 More than 26 million women over the age of 25 say that they are using prescription medications for unintended uses. #19 If all of these antidepressants are helping, then why are more Americans killing themselves? The suicide rate for Americans between the ages of 35 and 64 increased by nearly 30 percent between 1999 and 2010. The number of Americans that die by suicide is now greater than the number of Americans that die as a result of car accidents every year. #20 Antidepressant use has been linked to mass shootings in America over and over and over again, and yet the mainstream media is eerily quiet about this. Is it because they dont want to threaten one of their greatest sources of advertising revenue? #21 The amount of money that the pharmaceutical industry is raking in is astronomical. It has been reported that Americans spent more than 280 billion dollars on prescription drugs during 2013. If many of these drugs were not so addictive, the pharmaceutical companies would make a lot less money. And pharmaceutical drug addicts often dont fit the profile of what we think a drug addict would look like. For example,CNN shared the story of a 55-year-old grandmother named Cynthia Scudo that become addicted to prescription painkillers And with so much money floating around, it is quite easy for the pharmaceutical industry to buy the cooperation of our politicians and of the media. Some time when you are watching television in the evening, consciously take note of how often a pharmaceutical commercial comes on. It has gotten to the point where we are literally being inundated with these ads. They are already making hundreds of billions of dollars, and they think that there is room for even more growth. Will they ever be satisfied? This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

1	Emphasizing that the commander-in-chief might want to get a head start on such a project soon, architect Owen Levin presented President Obama with generic options for a national memorial Tuesday that could feasibly honor an American war in Syria, Libya, or Yemen. Our idea centers around a polished 30-foot Vermont marble panel that can either be inscribed with an image of servicemen trudging through a desert landscape, various military units coats of arms, stirring quotes about giving ones life in defense of freedom, or any combination thereof, said Levin, describing how his idea for a chain of bronze wreaths wrapping around a rectangular limestone base could work for each one of these conflicts, or all three. Weve also included a reflecting pool in the design that is ringed with placeholder names of battle sites, but these can easily be swapped out for Tripoli, Tikrit, Sanaa, Mosulwhichever ones you need. Levin added that the flexibility of the memorials height allows it to hold anywhere from 2,000 to 200,000 soldiers names.

3	Washingtons TyrannyPaul Craig Roberts Just as the outbreak of violence in Mali resulted from the fighters that obama used against Gaddafi moving into Mali, Washingtons violence against Somalia has resulted in the terrorist attack on the Nairobi mall. This fact again raises the never asked question: What is the real agenda of Washingtons war on terror? The western presstitutes never ask this question, nor do western legislative bodies. Washington has offered a variety of justifications for its twelve years of wars. One is that None of Washingtons claims can withstand the barest scrutiny. None of the governments that Washington has overthrown and seeks to overthrow are terrorist states. Indeed, some are not even Islamist governments. Saddam Husseins Iraq had a secular government, as does Assads Syria. Washingtons explanations for murdering Pakistanis and Yemenis with drones are even more nebulous. Moreover, using military means to kill citizens of countries with which the US is not at war lacks all legality. The Washington sponsored Egyptian military shot down in the streets many more Egyptians protesting the overthrow of their government by a military coup than died in the Nairobi mall. But we hear nothing from Washington or obama about the need to support democracy in Egypt. When the British Parliament voted down providing cover for obamas criminal attack on Syria, Parliament created space for Russias President Putin to resolve the Syrian situation by obtaining Syrian President Assads agreement to join the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and to turn over all Syrian chemical weapons to an international body. The war monger obama regime was outraged that Washingtons military attack on Syria had been blocked. Washington and the Israel Lobby went into full scale demonization of President Putin for orchestrating peace instead of war. The obama regime is trying to block the agreement by insisting on incorporating into the UN resolution an opportunity for attacking Syria if Washington is not convinced that all chemical weapons are turned over. The entire world knows that Washington will again lie through its teeth, assert that all the weapons were not turned over and use the wedge that Washington is attempting to force into the UN resolution to start another war. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has publicly stated that Washington is trying to blackmail Russia into accepting the potential for military intervention in Syria as part of the agreement. Until the 21st century, Washington carried out its relentless nefarious activities against other peoples and countries under cover and out of sight. In the 21st century the criminal bush and obama regimes have brazenly demonstrated their disregard for US law, international law, and human rights. Hubris and arrogance have run away with the superpower. The US stands reviled by the world. At the UN summit on September 23, the president of Brazil denounced the obama regime for its breach of international law revealed by the spy scandal. Bolivian President Evo Morales is filing a lawsuit against the obama regime for crimes against humanity. When the world looks at Washington, it cannot differentiate Washington from the dictatorships that Washington attributes to other countries. The Washington regime has declared that it is above both law and Constitution and possesses the power to detain citizens indefinitely and to murder them without due process of law. These powers comprise the necessary and sufficient conditions for dictatorship. Who will liberate Americans from Washingtons tyranny, overthrow the executive branch dictatorship, and bring freedom and democracy to America?

1	In a span of two minutes Monday, 33-year-old St. Paul resident Daniel Devore managed to criticize hazelnut coffee, Volvos, and the flag of New Mexico. Devore ponders his next criticism. The 120-second rant took place at Caribou Coffee in the presence of longtime friend Meredith Caranza, 31. 'Hazelnut?' said Devore as he browsed the establishment's menu. 'That's coffee for people that don't like coffee but want to pretend they do. It's like drinking a candy bar. Why not just drink a glass of Nestl Quik instead?' 'I remember thinking 'Uh-oh,'' Caranza said. 'We hadn't even placed our order yet, and he was already on a roll.' Devore's criticism of hazelnut coffee continued for another 35 seconds, at which point he mysteriously transitioned to the subject of Volvos. 'You know what I can't stand is Volvos. They're, like, the most selfish car to own, but the people who drive them act like they're being all earth-conscious and socially responsible,' Devore said. 'What's so responsible about owning some boxy tank that'll fuck up every other car in the accident while you don't get a scratch?' Caranza said she was mystified by the Volvo tirade. 'I have no idea what brought that on,' Caranza said. 'I looked out the window, scanned the paper, checked the stuff on the table, and couldn't find a single thing related to Volvos. He was obviously following some bizarre train of thought in his head.' Seconds after his Volvo diatribe died down, Devore spotted a store patron with a New Mexico flag on his backpack. He quickly shifted gears to the iron-on patch. 'Of all the 50 state flags, that has to be the stupidest one,' Devore said. 'It's just this bright-yellow field with, like, this bright-red crosshairs target in the middle. I suppose it's fitting, though. Gives all those desert loners and crackpots something to take aim at.' Added Devore: 'Pretty much all of the state flags are lame. The only decent one is Maryland.' Devore has a long history of adopting seemingly arbitrary stances on a wide variety of subjects. In the past, he has taken aim at such diverse targets as Terry And The Pirates creator Milton Caniff, box springs, Stevie Nicks, tip jars, the History Channel, and carbonated water. Prior to Monday, however, Devore had never railed against three subjects in so condensed a period of time. 'I've seen him spend 15 minutes talking about how stupid daylight savings time is,' Caranza said. 'He takes major issue with things most people don't care about enough to think about, much less form an opinion on. But even by his standards, the hazelnut-Volvo-New Mexico-flag thing was pretty remarkable.' Despite Devore's penchant for hyper-criticism, his friends still enjoy his company much of the time. 'Sometimes, Dan will go on some hilarious 20-minute tirade about how much he hates Bob Costas, and you'll be in stitches,' former roommate Ron Bleier said. 'Those are the good times.' 'He's really smart,' Bleier continued, 'and he'll occasionally have something interesting and illuminating to say on a subject you never really gave much thought. But mostly he just likes bitching.'

They were there thinking it was all about creating a structure for access to the next president. Little did they know. Charlie Rose was there. Wolf Blitzer. Jeff Zucker, head of CNN. Martha I weep for Hillary Raddatz. Gayle King. Lester the weasel-king of interrupters Holt. Chuck Todd. George property of the Clintons Stephanopoulos. Fake, fake, fake, fake, fake. The whole gang. The NY Post has the story: It was like a fing firing squad, one source said of the encounter. Trump started with [CNN chief] Jeff Zucker and said I hate your network, everyone at CNN is a liar and you should be ashamed, the source said. The meeting was a total disaster. The TV execs and anchors went in there thinking they would be discussing the access they would get to the Trump administration, but instead they got a Trump-style dressing down, the source added. Trump kept saying, Were in a room of liars, the deceitful dishonest media who got it all wrong. He addressed everyone in the room calling the media dishonest, deceitful liars. He called out Jeff Zucker by name and said everyone at CNN was a liar, and CNN was [a] network of liars, the source said. he referred to a horrible network correspondent who cried when Hillary lost who [also] hosted a [presidential] debate which was Martha Raddatz who was also in the room. SoYou can hate Trump, but if you cant find joy in this story, youre in need of a blood transfusion. Way back at the beginning of the presidential campaign, I said that if Trump does nothing but run against the media hell be doing the country a great service, because theyre all snakes and cover-up artists and liars and theyve been hypnotizing the population for as long as theyve been around. Trump went on to exceed my expectations in that regard. If you cant stand Trump, you can fantasize about some other theoretical president who might have carried off his attacks on fake news as well, and with the same effect, but this is the man who did it. And yesterday was a landmark event in history. Understand that these griftersbecause thats what they arebelieve they own the news and the truth, even as theyre making it up by the ton. They and their masterssix companies that control 90% of big mediadispense fake reality to the populace 24/7. And now Theyre lost inside their own bubble. Theyve never felt this kind of fury from a president. They dont know what to do. Theyve got money, theyve got arrogance, and theyve got the airwaves, and its not enough. Of course theyre outraged, and of course theyll continue doing whatever they can to undermine Trump, but they know he couldnt care less that theyre deeply, deeply offended. Their little trickhow dare you insult uswont work. In fact, itll make things worse for them. Not long ago, one survey placed the publics trust in media at 6%, which is about on the same level as the trust in public bathrooms in scuzzy bars by the railroad tracks next to mining camps in the 19th century. These media honkers can stand in front of their mirrors and keep combing their hair and they can bring in new make-up people, and adjust the studio lighting and build new desks, and they can laugh and smile at cocktail parties and pretend theyre still in the ascendance, but theyre rapidly turning into laughingstocks, and the derision keeps building. If you feel sorry for them, your sympathy is grossly misplaced. The final straw here is Steve Bannon, Trumps new chief strategist and special counselor. The editor of Breitbart, Bannon recently stated in an interview: 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. Trump is carrying out a sustained war against big media. He hasnt stopped. There is no sign he will stop. He knows, and Bannon knows, that the public is fed up with mainstream media. The unchallenged authority of The News has been cracked like an egg. Yesterday, Trump doubled and tripled down. Wake up and smell the singed hair and the sagging plastic surgery. The media stars are fading in their fake sky.

What I did hear: You were telling the lies of the Old Regime. Now you will be telling the lies of the New Regime. God bless Donald Trump! Hes disavowing the alt right and backpedaling on his anthropomorphic climate change stance. Gotta wonder if this is an Et tu moment? Today the Guardian and NY Times are reporting Trump is disavowing the alt right white nationalist movement. While he disavowed alt right, white nationalist wasnt part of his statement. The MSM is conflating the alternative media sphere with racism and Trump is not making any distinctions. Ive known Steve Bannon a long time. If I thought he was a racist or alt-right or any of the things, the terms we could use, I wouldnt even think about hiring him, said Trump on Tuesday, according to journalists in attendance. Forked tongue? Two heads of Janis? Were being set up again. Watch out for provocateur trolls. Hes right about CNN being a bunch of liars. Ive seen them fabricate a story to fit their narrative first hand. Havent watched those turds in over fifteen years. They ARE liars. Its time someone told them to their face. I especially like the fact that he doesnt bring them along like a bunch of lap dogs everywhere he goes. They have to be wondering, How can we make up fake news if we cant be there to see what REALLY happened? LOL! Trump IS right about this.MSM is fake news.

The controversy has gone back and forth, and this recent video is sure to upset those who oppose any expression of religion at allnamely liberals and Muslims. Watch the video below to see this group of patriotic marines powerfully sing Days of Elijah in unison. Do you support the rights of our Christian men in uniform? Tell us what you think of the video below. 
1	In a rare case of violence-powered time travel, Wilmington resident Phil Zipper was smacked into this week by a forceful blow delivered by his wife during a Nov. 29 fight. 'Wow, I thought she was just talking colorfully,' Zipper said moments after materializing in a burst of swirling colored light at the intersection of 18th and Main, just three blocks from the site of last week's smack. Zipper, who has been dubbed 'The Man From Last Week,' added: 'I have so much to learn about your strange world. So much has changed since my time. Is orange juice still on sale at ShopKo? Did the Bulls win Sunday? Have hatred and prejudice finally been eradicated?' 
3	Will Americans Soon Not Be Able To Buy, Sell Or Get A Job Without A Global ID Card?Michael Snyder If this national ID card plan is passed by Congress, you will not be able to get a job without one. So how are you going to survive if you cant work? In addition, this national ID card would undoubtedly soon be used to identify us for all sorts of other purposes. For example, have you tried to open up a bank account lately? They make you jump through all sorts of hoops to prove that you are who you say you are. So what would happen if the government decided to require you to show your national ID card before opening up a bank account? If you refused to get a card, how would you be able to function in society without a bank account? Would you try to conduct all of your transactions in cash only? That might work for a while. And of course you would not be able to drive or get on a plane without your national ID card. So forget about going anywhere. Are you starting to get the picture? Unfortunately, the push for a national ID card in the United States is only a small part of the overall push toward a global ID card that is happening all over the planet. The eventual goal is to have a universal ID that every man, woman and child on the planet will be forced to take. That is why it is so important for the American people to speak up about this. An effective solution would be to issue tamper-proof, biometric ID cards using fingerprints or a comparably unique identifier to all citizens and legal residents. Last week, bothPresident Obama and a bipartisan group of eight senators seeking immigration reform urged something along those lines, without calling it a universal national identity card. Thats a major step forward. And of course the Wall Street Journal is reporting on this too Key senators are exploring an immigration bill that would force every U.S. workercitizen or notto carry a high-tech identity card that could use fingerprints or other personal markers to prove a persons legal eligibility to work. The idea, signaled only in vaguely worded language from senators crafting a bipartisan immigration bill, has privacy advocates and others concerned that the law would create a national identity card that, in time, could track Americans at airports, hospitals and through other facets of their lives. According to investigative reporter James Tucker, there are those in the Obama administration that are optimistic that they will be able to get a national ID card through Congress now that Ron Paul has left the House of Representatives At a recent reception in Washington, D.C., an AMERICAN FREE PRESS source overheard Thomas E. Donilon, a White House national security advisor and past Bilderberg member, speaking of Pauls retirement and the good chance that the global card could now be shepherded through Congress. Pauls son, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.), would not object to the plan, added the individual with whom Donilon was talking. He was referring to the fact that Senator Paul has backed off from the strong pro-nationalist positions of his father because he is fantasizing about being elected president in 2016. So will anyone in Congress step up and fight this on behalf of the American people? Lets hope so. But of course there are many other large nations that are actually far ahead of the United States when it comes to implementing this global ID card scheme. Just check out what is going on in Indonesia Since the start of the government of Indonesias multi-modal biometrics-based National Electronic ID Card (e-KTP) program in August 2011, record enrollments are being achieved across the countrys population of 172 million ID-eligible residents. More than 103 million people have been enrolled and de-duplicated in one year with 80% or 140 million residents of the eligible population already enrolled and 85% already processed. Statistics show that over 1 million de-duplication transactions are being achieved in a single day in the data center and 600,000 enrollments being achieved in a single day in the field. In addition 60 million ID cards have been printed. And India is currently collecting biometric information on more than a billion people In India, a massive effort is underway to collect biometric identity information for each of the countrys 1.2 billion people. The incredible plan, dubbed the mother of all e-governance projects by the Economic Times, has stirred controversy in India and beyond, raising serious concerns about the privacy and security of individuals personal data. The plan is moving ahead at a clip under the auspices of the National Population Register (NPR) and the Unique ID (UID) programs, separately governed initiatives that have an agreement to integrate the data they collect to build the worlds largest biometric database. Upon enrollment, individuals are issued 12-digit unique ID numbers on chip-based identity cards. For residents who lack the necessary paperwork to obtain certain kinds of employment or government services, theres strong incentive to get a unique ID. While the UID program is voluntary, enrollment in the NPR program is mandatory for all citizens. Are you starting to understand what is happening? This is a global effort. At this point, there are approximately 100 countries that now issue mandatory ID cards, and undoubtedly this campaign to gather the biometric information of every person on Earth will continue to spread. In fact, soon you may not even be able to log in to your favorite Internet sites without a fingerprint or an iris scan. Does that sound crazy to you? It doesnt sound crazy to the major technology firms that are a part of the Fast Identity Online Alliance Imagine logging on to your eBay account with your fingerprint. Or perhaps accessing your Facebook account via an iris scan. It might seem a bit much for the average computer user, but it may not be that far off if an initiative is successful. The use of biometric data as an added security measure is just one of the solutions being proposed by a consortium of firms who have come together to form the Fast Identity Online (FIDO) Alliance. We live in a world that has become obsessed with information and obsessed with security. At first, we may all just be forced to carry around ID cards, but eventually cards will not be considered to be good enough. Cards are easily lost, they can be stolen, and they can be forged. But what about an electronic tattoo? Wouldnt that be much more secure? That is the argument that will be made. And the advancements that have been made in the field of electronic tattooslately have got a lot of scientists very excited Temporary electronic tattoos could soon help people fly drones with only thought and talk seemingly telepathically without speech over smartphones, researchers say. Does that sound cool to you? That is how these changes will be marketed to the public. They will be sold as the hip and cool things to do. But the truth is that these electronic tattoos are incredibly dangerous. They can receive electrical signals from your brain, and they can also send electrical signals to your brain The devices are less than 100 microns thick, the average diameter of a human hair. They consist of circuitry embedded in a layer or rubbery polyester that allow them to stretch, bend and wrinkle. They are barely visible when placed on skin, making them easy to conceal from others. 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. This is very frightening stuff. But most people just do whatever the authorities tell them to do without thinking about it. So will you take a national ID card if Congress requires you to? Will you take an electronic tattoo on your hand or your forehead someday if the authorities require it for security reasons? The control freaks that run things just love to find new ways to watch us, track us and control us. For example, just check out what is going on in New York City. The following is from a recent article in the Telegraph Created by Microsoft and the New York Police Department, the Domain Awareness System, known as the dashboard, is state-of-the-art crime fighting technology. The dashboard, instantaneously mines data from the NYPDs vast collection of arrest records, emergency 911 calls, more than 3,000 security cameras, license plate readers and portable radiation detectors and aggregates it into a user-friendly, readable form in the control room. Eventually, that data will be able to be seen in real time by officers on laptops in their squad cars and on mobile devices as they walk their beat. Could you imagine how much more intrusive such a system would be if national ID cards were constantly feeding information about all of us into their computers? But the authorities insist that all of this security is making life so much better and safer for all of us. Well, what about for 3-year-old Lucy Schulte? She is a sweet little disabled girl in a wheelchair that has Spina bifida. Recently she was getting ready to get on a plane to go to Disney World, but TSA workers decided that she was a potential terrorist and so they manhandled her and confiscated her stuffed toy. Is this really want we want America to become?

So what do you think about all of this? Do you believe that a global ID card is a good idea or a bad idea? Would you take a national ID card if Congress made it mandatory?

1	Describing himself as a complete anomaly within his peer group, local 31-year-old Drew Winberg confirmed Tuesday that he is the only one of his friends who has yet to get married and divorced. Sometimes I feel like Im never going to find that special person I can fall in love with, pledge my life to, grow apart from, and then break up with before engaging in a bitter and costly legal battle, said Winberg, lamenting his perpetual role as the token single guy celebrating friends over-the-top weddings and then supporting them through their messy divorces. It seems as though everyone I know is delving back into the dating scene with this new lease on life, and here I am the odd man out. Winberg consoled himself with the thought that if he married soon, he could still get divorced and find a new girlfriend in time to take her to his friends second marriages. 
1	Following a dismal second quarter in which the companys stock price plummeted more than 30 percent, CEO Walter Kempman stunned shareholders Tuesday by announcing that he will resign his leadership of the New Yorkbased entertainment conglomerate Jay-Z. We are grateful for all Walter has done for Jay-Z, but ultimately the board of directors recommended that he step down, said chairman David Casey, who admitted that the brand had struggled somewhat since Jay-Z went public in 2003 to an impressive IPO of $17.6 billion. When my grandfather, a simple car mechanic from Akron, Ohio, founded Jay-Z in 1949, he did so in hopes of providing the very best in service to our customers. We are confident that with the right adjustments, we can return to that vision as we lead Jay-Z into the future. Top Jay-Z executives will reportedly now turn their attention to finding a replacement CEO, with COO Michael Quinlan, vice president James Clark, and CFO Shawn Carter taking over Kempmans responsibilities during the interim. 
3	Terry Gilliam: The Python Who Renounced His CitizenshipJeff Berwick This is an issue we write about and discuss regularly here at The Dollar Vigilante. It seems Terry saw the writing on the wall. So-much-so, in fact, he made a movie about what I surmise is basically modern America. (read: Amerika) Terrys 1984 film Brazilportrays a bizarre 1984-esque world which meshes the dark reality of a society mired in totalitarianism, slowed to a near halt by bureaucracy, with whats basically slapstick. One of the main events of the film is when the wrong person is killed. Tuttle is who the state wants to murder for being a terrorist, but a fly lands on on the oversized behemoth of a state printer and smudges the T to look like a B. And so the wrong person, Buttle, an old man who leaves behind a family, is executed by shock troops. These shock troops are basically military-police, and theyre quite funny. In one scene, one of them takes off his helmet and demonstrates concern for how his eyebrows looks. Terry says he left that in just because I wanted to give those guys a moment, too, of being human beings, with their own little sets of problems. Government agents even go as far as charging suspects for their interrogation, including for the electricity applied to their bodies as a form of torture. Detainees unable to afford the costs of torture could apply for loans, which are advertised at favorable interest rates. The machinery of government-sanctioned torture and data collection become a self-sustaining apparatus, so there is no need for a big brother figure, as in Orwells dystopia. The film is very interesting, obviously examining themes of totalitarianism. I highly recommend it for any budding or full-blown libertarian. Anybody skeptical of the state, as Terry terms it. Perhaps in his real life, as in his art, Terry hopes his actions inspire people to think for themselves. That is what he tries to do in his films. I hope they [people] come out saying, More things are possible. I think that, if anything, is what Im trying to do not just get my imagination on the screen, but to try to encourage other people to develop their own. And thats one of the problems of having an imagination: trying to communicate it and keep people interestedTheres a political element to that the idea that another world is possible. Brazil had a very hard time making it to the big screen, Unfortunately with Universal, for a variety of reasons some to do with internal politics, some to do with the fact that its a different group of people and that Universal is far closer to the bureaucracy that was portrayed in BRAZIL they were just stunned by it. And they didnt know quite what to make of it. And even though the script was shot as approved and all of those things, they just werent sure, because theyre very nervous people. Theyre paid enormous sums of money to be able to predict exactly what the public wants. So they tried to change the film. As Terry recalls, I refused to play ball with them. I said, Sorry, this is the film that we agreed to make. And then it got into this legalistic argument. And the only thing they really had over us was the time clause [2.5 maximum run-time], and thats what they used to try to make us change the essence of the film I dont think they were expecting me to be as immovable as I was, because theyre used to working with people who live in Hollywood, and whose bread and butter is very much dependent upon the whims and friendship of the people at the studios, and I sit here 6000 miles away in London saying, Why should I change it if its the film we agreed to make? And I dont think they were prepared for that attitude. And on it went It became like a repeat of the film itself. It was so identical to the story, and the depressing thing about it was that I knew how the film ended! Terry went public, because he couldnt take it to court. Universal had the cash. It would have sat in the court system for years. He named names, which was something they were totally unprepared to deal with. Rather than say Universal was involved, I said, its not Universal, its one man his name is Sid Sheinberg. And that really drove them crazy because they didnt know how to deal with that. I think the only thing that kept me sane throughout all that was how funny it was. So terrifying. The film could have just disappeared and all I could do was keep being outrageous publicly and hopefully get a few people on our side to make enough noise to get it out of their clutches. Ultimately, the film was releasedand its delay caused it to be released in 1984. Very fitting. BE LIKE TERRY Terry was ahead of the crowd. There is an a growing tide of successful people voting with their hearts and their wallets and leaving the US tax farm. Unfortunately, there are countless others from the entrepreneurs and doctors who have saved up a nice nest egg over their lifetime all the way up to the musicians, athletes and super-entrepeneurs who have made 8 or 9 figures. Most have no idea that they risk losing everything, or most of it, by not internationalizing their assets at the very least. Weve been writing regularly about US taxes here, namely the international implications thereof. In fact, we wrote about some accidental Americansrecently, and Jim Karger wrote an open letter about them as well, and I suppose in a way Terry is also an accidental American. He knew he would owe the US government on all his international income, and for him this would amount to millions of dollars. There are ways around this, and also a path to renunciation should you so choose, like Terry did, which we help people towards at TDV Passportsand at TDV Wealth Management (TDVWM). And next month face-to-face at the TDVWM Crisis Conference. Of the many topics you will learn at the Crisis Conference are how to shelter your assets from the death/estate tax in the US as Terry Gilliam pointed out as being one of his main reasons for getting out of dodge. In our TDV Newsletter, we cover topics pertaining to help you understand and position yourself to do as Terry and avoid the Brazil-esque reality weve already seen in the US. In Fact, Terry even threatened to sue George W. Bush and Dick Cheney for remaking his film!

3	Statin Drugs Linked To Worsening Osteoarthritis Of The KneeSayer Ji, Contributor Symptomatic knee osteoarthritis is quite common in people older than 40 years, and will affect nearly 1 in 2 people by the age of 85 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.[i] Now, new research indicates that statin drugs are contributing to the worsening of the epidemic of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Not only did they find no benefit, but they discovered an increased duration of statin use was associated with worsening in pain and physical function scores. They added, Our study has potential implications for policymakers and clinicians. If statins do not consistently influence OA progression or symptom status in large sample cohort studies, one must question their potential for future trial funding. This latest finding is far from surprising if one considers that there are over 300 adverse health effects associated with statin use already signaled in the biomedical literature. You can view these first-hand studies directly at our Statin Dangers research page. Also, only a few weeks ago the Journal of Diabetes published a study revealing a clear association between statin use and peripheral neuropathy in a U.S. population 40 years and older. The time has come for people to critically question the toxicological consequences of statin use and to weigh their purported benefits against their well-known clinically-confirmed harms.

2	Open Carrier American Citizen Puts Young Arrogant Cop In His Place [VIDEO] A new viral video highlights just how important it is to know your rights, and makes it clear that law enforcement isnt always on your side. The footage shows a young cop harassing a man because he misinformed about the mans laws and rights. Luckily, the man stands up to the cop when he tries to force him to show his ID and put his gun and camera down. The cameraman is heard vocally defended his rights. The young cop stands strong until he is confronted by his older and wiser partner, who tells the cameraman that he is free to go. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
2	Thugs Puts Gun To Womans Head, Didnt Realize She Was A Good Ole Girl Packing Heat According to recent reports, things turned ugly for 27-year-old Frank Taylora thug who was attempting to rob a 23-year-old woman near a convenience store in Arizona. As it turns out, Carol Miracle was armed and able to confront Taylor as he put a gun to her head on the corner of 59th Avenue and Camelback Road. She drew her own handgun from a hip holster and delivered one fatal shot to the head. Miracle told authorities she was in fear for her life and investigators found evidence supporting her statements. The case will be submitted to the Maricopa County Attorneys Office for a decision on whether Miracle will face charges. Thank goodness she had her own gun handle, or things could have gone a very different direction. Do you agree? 
3	Mexican Protest Site Censored by GoDaddy with the U.S. Embassys HelpDanny OBrien As the anniversary of the protests approached, the site grew to include an organized campaign against proposed laws to criminalize protest in the country, as well as preparations to document the results of a memorial protest, planned for December 1, 2013. On December 2nd, 2013, the site disappeared offline. The United States host, GoDaddy, suspended the domain with no prior notice. GoDaddy told its owners that the site was taken down as part of an ongoing law enforcement investigation. The office in charge of this investigation was listed as Special Agent Homeland Security Investigations, U.S. Embassy, Mexico City. (The contact email pointed to ice.dhs.gov, implying that this agent was working as part of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement wing, who have been involved in curious domain name takedowns in the past.) If there are many questions to be answered by the Mexican authorities about this act of prior restraint on speech, there are no shortage of queries about the United States involvement in this takedown. Why did GoDaddy take down content with the excuse of it being part of a legal investigation, when the company did not request or relay any formal judicial documents or an official court order? And why is the U.S. Embassy acting as a relay for an unclear legal process that resulted in censorship within the United States? We look forward to following the result of the website owners court case in Mexico, and to the responses of GoDaddy and the United States Embassy in Mexico City to this developing story.

3	DHS agencies to buy up to 7,000 new 5.56x45mm NATO personal defense weaponsMadison Ruppert, Contributor Unfortunately, the reason for both of these major purchases and the continuing heavy armament of DHS agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) continues to go unexplained. The newest weapons order which was originally posted on June 7, 2012 and has a response date of July 9, 2012 is for so-called personal defense weapons which would be used in close quarters combat situations when maximum concealment is required. I find that last part quite interesting, as requiring maximum concealment for a 5.56x45mm NATO weapon is not really a run-of-the-mill request. Each prospective vendor has been asked to provide to the DHS their weapons, which will be tested at the National Firearms and Tactical Training Unit (NFTTU) in Altoona, Pennsylvania, which is run by ICE. The DHS solicitation (PDF) says that each vendor is to provide, Only one specific nomenclature firearm for solicitation testing [to be] considered for contract award. The solicitation also specifies that the guns will be quite small for a rifle at a mere 30 inches or less with the stock fully extended and 20 inches or less with the stock fully retracted or folded. They also specify that the barrel must come equipped with a flash suppressor and/or muzzle brake, noting, The muzzle device will be rated on its ability to reduce muzzle signature. Furthermore, they state that every firearm will be tested with a whopping 4,000 rounds, meaning that 28,000 rounds will be spent just testing the firearms before they are put into service. If the guns pass that test, three samples will be tested with an additional 3,500 rounds per firearm while the guns will also be tested for resilience in high temperature, low temperature, salt water immersion, sand and dust and drop conditions. At the time of writing the contractors who have expressed interest are Ohio-based Ares, Inc., Florida-based Material Integration, Inc., and Virginia-based FNH USA, LLC. Unfortunately, the information we have on the actual reason behind these large procurements is non-existent. If we can take the DHSs history with the refusal to explain the reason why they need hundreds of millions of hollow point bullets, it is safe to say that they will likely thwart any attempt to get them to explain why they need these thousands of firearms as well. Personally, I find this quite sickening in a time when our national debt against which the American taxpayer is being used as collateral is rising to unimaginable heights. With the levels of debt we have right now and no cutbacks in government spending in sight, I seriously doubt that we will ever realistically be able to pay back these ludicrously massive sums of money. Yet the government continues to spend like theres no tomorrow between hundreds of millions of rounds of ammunition, thousands of new weapons and even hundreds of millions on drones we dont even use because they dont work (see below).

1	Emphasizing the allure and appeal of the 30-foot length of electrical power cable that shared the stage with the former Florida governor, sources confirmed that an orange three-pronged extension cord completely stole the spotlight from Jeb Bush during a New Hampshire campaign rally Friday. Jeb made some interesting points about the need to prioritize national security, but ultimately he was just completely overshadowed by the far more riveting extension cord running along the floor beside him, said political pundit Chris Wallace, who acknowledged that attendees appeared more energized by the flexible orange cable taped to the stage and noted that the one-time GOP frontrunner repeatedly failed to connect with the audience as effectively as the cord. Unfortunately for Jeb, no matter what he did throughout the night, he just looked bland and flat compared to that extension cord. Hes not going to want to bring that piece of electrical equipment with him to any more rallies if he wants voters attention to stay directed at him. At press time, the Bush campaign team was rapidly assembling a focus group to learn how the candidate could be more like the extension cord. 
2	Oprah Says THIS Is The Reason Americans Hate Obama [VIDEO] Over the past few years, it has become increasingly clear that Oprah Winfrey has some serious opinions when it comes to America and racism. Recently, when Oprah went on BBC to discuss one of her upcoming movies, the television host was asked if she believes Obama has been treated the way he is because of the color of his skin. Oprah was quick to answer with a firm yes. I think theres a level of disrespect for the office that occurs, Oprah told viewers. And that occurs in some cases, and maybe even many cases, because hes African-American. What do you think? Is Oprah ignoring the fact that Obama has been acting more like a dictator than a president? document.write( '<iframe allowfullscreen src='https://iframe.reembed.com?plid=3666_4625_5d72883030e260ff9e529648e6a9dda3&#038;vid=5t7K0Ftnsv0&#038;provider=youtube&#038;type=youtube&#038;width=600&#038;height=453&#038;t='+ document.title.toString() +'&#038;d='+ ((document.getElementsByName('description')[0] != undefined) ? document.getElementsByName('description')[0].content : '') +'' width='600' height='453' frameborder='0'></iframe>' ); 
2	VIDEO: Soldiers Rub Salt In ISIS Terrorists Wounds... Literally Warning: The video below is graphic in nature. In a new video that is making its rounds on the internet, a group of soldiers are shown rubbing salt in the wounds of a dying terrorist. Reportedly, the group of men were tired of living with the extremist views and violence of ISIS, and decided to teach one terrorist a lesson. In alignment with many videos weve seenit doesnt take long for the ISIS man to drop his tough act and beg for mercy. What do you think of the video below? Was ISIS given a taste of their own medicine or did the group of soldiers go too far? 
2	How Jay Carney Explains Berdahl Swap Wasnt Negotiating With Terrorists Will Leave You Furious In a recent interview on CNN, White House press secretary Jay Carney was grilled about whether the United States were negotiating with terrorists when they decided to release five Guantanamo Bay detainees in release for Bergdahl. Carney claims that this is not the case, and beat around the bush in his explanations. He was not a hostage, Carney claimed of Bergdahl, he was a prisoner. Carney also noted that Bergdahls release was an urgent matter because of reports that his health was deteriorating after five years in captivity. Why not just call this what it was? asked CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, You negotiated with these terrorists because he is a prisoner of war and you have this pledge of leaving no man or women behind? Carney remained firm in his objections, claiming, The fact is he was held in an armed conflict with the Taliban. We were engaged in an armed conflict with the Taliban, and we have a history in this country of making sure that our prisoners of war are returned to us. What do you think? Is Carney just making excuses? 
2	Admiral Who Planned Bin Laden Raid, Makes SICKENING Statement About Obama According to recent reports, a veteran member of the U.S. Army has come forward with claims that he is receiving retribution and punishment from the military for having anti-Obama bumper stickers on his card and reading books written by conservative authors like Mark Levin and David Limbaugh. He has also been criticized for serving Chick-fil-A sandwiches at his promotion party. Master Sgt. Nathan Sommers is a 25-year Army veteran and conservative Christian. He is based at Fort Myer in Washington, and is convinced that his opposition to gay marriage prompted an investigation into his beliefs. It seems like with the repeal of Dont Ask, Dont Tellthat Christians have been the ones whove had to go underground and in the closetfor fear of retaliation and reprisals, Sommers told Fox News. Rear Adm. Brian Losey, the head of the Navy SEALs, gave more than 30 years of service to the Navy. Congress ultimately ended up stripping him of the chance at a second star and ending his career. U.S. former Special Operations Command boss retired Adm. William McRaven gave his full perspective on the issue in a recent Op-Ed piece for the Tampa Tribune. McRaven planned and oversaw Operation Neptune Spear, the raid in which Osama bin Laden was successfully killed. 
3	Company Releases Video of First Ever Drone Neutralizer GunBy Amanda Warren The companys name sounds like a cross between battle and the toy company Mattel Battelle, based in Ohio. Unfortunately, if you were hoping to get your hands on one of these to keep surveillance bots out of your private space they are only being marketed to the U.S. Government. The U.S. Sci-tech contractor will make them available to the government next year, signaling that it is really only government agents that are able to protect themselves from the very invasive weapons that they themselves monopolize. Many industries are legally using drones such as the media. If they get too close to a story, can their camera simply be grounded unless authorized by the government? Dan Stamm, leader of research for the company says: The DroneDefender can help protect us from those who may wish to do us harm. It can help us in numerous settings, from the White House lawn to bases and embassies overseas; from prisons and schools to historic sites. It easily and reliably neutralizes the threat. Watch it in action: Description: Drones are great, but not when someone is doing something bad with one, like dropping contraband into a prison or flying into restricted airspace. Weve got an answer. *Due to U.S. Federal regulations, this is a simulation of our DroneDefender. It has, though, been successfully tested in field trials. Photo: BattelleInnovations / YouTube Also see: Amanda Warren writes for selfnews Post see her recent articles HERE Came to this site to see if this story was here. Glad to see it is. Couldnt believe I was seeing this for the first time on MSN. This is useless for private citizens, unless you want to stop the USPC and Amazon from recording your personal and private property. The USAF has been approved by the FAA, to put 30,000 drones in the sky over the U.S. They fly at 20-30,000 feet above sea level. 400 meters doesnt touch them. 30,000 ft you say? Only a matter of time then before they take down a commercial jet like a bird in the turbines. Dont forget they can be hacked as well. It wont be long (if they havent already) before some inventive high school student or ham radio operator comes up with an equivalent and puts it on Craigslist or eBay. Not for civilians, huh? I guess my old 12 ga. will have to suffice until we can get one of those dandy ray guns for ourselves. 
3	Human Rights group calls on World Bank to acknowledge role in the mass killing of one million Indonesiansselfnews Post THE ACT OF KILLING powerfully highlights the ongoing impunity within Indonesia for the 1965 mass murders, said John M. Miller of the East Timor and Indonesian Action Network. Tonight we highlight the World Banks support for the Suharto regime, which knowingly backed his corrupt government while his post-coup body count climbed. We urge the World Bank to acknowledge its role in Suhartos many crimes and to apologize and provide reparations to the survivors. Institutions like the World Bank must also be held accountable for their financial assistance to the murderers and decades of support as they continued to violate human rights. The World Bank gave $30 billion dollars to a dictator who killed an estimated one million of his own citizens, said THE ACT OF KILLING filmmaker Joshua Oppenheimer. The murderers spent years profiting off of their heinous crimes with the World Bank and other global financial institutions footing the bill. THE ACT OF KILLING, currently Oscar-nominated for Best Documentary feature, has been recognized as one of the best films of 2014. The film has received over 60 awards including Best Documentary from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA). While the mass killings of 1965 are an open secret in Indonesia, the government has never acknowledged or apologized for sponsoring the murders. THE ACT OF KILLING, which has been shown in thousands of private screenings and is available free online throughout Indonesia, is empowering victims families to demand reparations from the government for the first time. The East Timor and Indonesia Action Network (ETAN) advocates for democracy, justice and human rights for Timor-Leste, West Papua and Indonesia. In 2012, the government of the Democratic Republic Timor-Leste awarded ETAN the Order of Timor (Ordem Timor) for its role in the liberation of the country. More information about ETAN can be found at: http://www.etan.org About THE ACT OF KILLING In THE ACT OF KILLING, directed by Joshua Oppenheimer and executive produced by Errol Morris and Werner Herzog, the filmmakers expose a corrupt regime that celebrates death squad leaders as heroes. When the Indonesian government was overthrown in 1965, small-time gangster Anwar Congo and his friends went from selling movie tickets on the black market to leading death squads in the mass murder of over a million opponents of the new military dictatorship. Anwar boasts of killing hundreds with his own hands, but hes enjoyed impunity ever since, and has been celebrated by the Indonesian government as a national hero. When approached to make a film about their role in the genocide, Anwar and his friends eagerly complybut their idea of being in a movie is not to provide reflective testimony. Instead, they re-create their real-life killings as they dance their way through musical sequences, twist arms in film noir gangster scenes, and gallop across prairies as Western cowboys. Through this filmmaking process, the moral reality of the act of killing begins to haunt Anwar and his friends with varying degrees of acknowledgment, justification and denial. More information about the film can be found at http://actofkilling.com/. 
1	Citing a lifetime of deep commitment to the creative process, profoundly untalented painter Todd Reese told reporters Saturday that his newest mixed-media piece is the inevitable culmination of a decades-long period of artistic growth. In Hand Of God #8, you can definitely see the evolution of my entire body of work over the years in terms of both technique and themeor mode and motif, if you will, said the remarkably hackneyed Reese, 56, who reportedly funneled his entire philosophy of art, as both a craft and a commentary into the garishly colored, not particularly original, and ultimately forgettable oil painitng. People who want to know what my whole life has been about really only need to look at this. Reese concluded his assessment by stating that, given his breakthrough on this work, he may finally be ready to embark upon a long-planned video art project for which he has absolutely no qualifications or training. 
3	David Icke: There is no time left for hoping that it is all just a theoryselfnews Post This is a great opportunity for open minds to come together and show that the world is waking up to the reality of its plight and that we are not taking it any more, Icke told selfnews Post. The visionary and motivational work of David Icke has been instrumental in bringing about the global awakening that we see taking shape. For over 20 years (and 20 books), David has helped lead the charge that is beginning to result in the globalist elite losing their control on free humanity. There is no time left for looking the other way and hoping that it really is all just a theory. The theory that I and others have been warning about for so long is now on the daily news as the world is transformed into perpetual war and a police state deleting the most basic of freedoms, he emphasized. Davids books are essential in grasping the totality of what we face, but it is his live presentation that is truly something to behold. Speaking many times in excess of 10 hours, there is simply no better place to learn from start to finish what the control grid is, how deep the rabbit hole goes, and how we can maintain our freedom within a system that is attempting to implement full spectrum dominance. We are way past the point where looking the other way is an option and gathering thousands together at Wembley will send out a powerful message of collective intent. More than a lecturer about only what is wrong with the world and how horribly exploited we all have been, David eloquently prepares his audience for the peace that will follow when we assert our will and reclaim our inherent right to self-determination and liberty. His positive activism has inspired countless blogs, sites, authors and other speakers to focus on solutions. We are about to enter some choppy seas, as the forces of tyranny begin to lash out at being exposed and confronted head on without fear. There is no one better than David Icke to assist in the navigation through these rough waters and onward to a more balanced and peaceful existence. 
1	Asserting that citizens have the right to know when the Golden Globe winner resides nearby, a newly enacted California statute dubbed Richards Law requires film actor Richard Gere to personally introduce himself to each member of the community upon moving to a new neighborhood. Within five days of establishing residence, Mr. Gere himself shall visit all homes within a mile radius and clearly inform the occupants who he is and what major films he has starred in, reads the legislation, which stipulates that Gere must leave a signed headshot at any residence in which the occupant does not answer the door in order to apprise them of his presence. Mr. Gere must then give a detailed rundown of his career, listing the various awards he has received and providing a synopsis of any project on which he has appeared upon request by the resident. Furthermore, Mr. Geres full filmography shall also be printed on flyers and posted throughout the neighborhood. A subsection of the law also reportedly funds the creation of an online database and map indicating where each and every cast member from An Officer And A Gentleman lives. 
2	Hillary Tried to Force Trey Gowdy Out Of Congress So He Responded With THIS Donald Trump took the presidency last night in a long-awaited victory. Many Americans are hopeful for the change that comes with his move to the office. But it is important not to forget the corruption we have seen in the White House in the past few months. Hillary Clinton and her political machine have been trying to take down Congressman Trey Gowdy of South Carolina for a long time now. They have relentlessly retaliated against his investigation into her criminal activities. They have also tried to end the career of fellow South Carolinian, Tim Scott. Scott is the first black Republican to get elected to the U.S. Senate since shortly after the Civil War. As Gowdy and Scott ran for reelection, Hillary and Obama hand-picked Democratic opponents to try to take them down. Scotts opponent even tried to mock him for being a black Republican. I have listened to him called an Uncle Tom, Gowdy commented. I have listened to his blackness questioned because his opinions are different than others. Ive been black a long time, Scott added. You may have been in elementary school. Im not a Johnny-Come-Lately to the issue. What do you think? Are you happy Gowdy and Scott won the election? 
2	George Soros Exposed In Attempt To Bring Down Donald Trump In Sickening Plot Even though Donald Trump successfully landed the presidency, the nation is still rattled by the systematic corruption that was revealed by the election process. In addition to fighting their own federal investigations, Clinton and her team accepted donations from known criminals. George Soros, a billionaire liberal notorious for helping kick Jews out of their homes during the Holocaust, made several attempts to influence the election. After the election, Soros met with some of Hillarys wealthiest donors, and strategized ways to take power away from Trump. The DA itself should be called into question, one Democratic strategist commented. You can make a very good case its nothing more than a social club for a handful of wealthy white donors and labor union officials to drink wine and read memos, as the Democratic Party burns down around them. Another Democratic strategist had a different viewone that acknowledged the fact that Hillary Clinton was simply not the right candidate for the Democratic Party. We need our people to vote in greater numbers. For that to happen, we need candidates who inspire them to go to the polls on Election Day. America narrowly escaped disaster with a Clinton pregnancy. We need to take significant measures to ensure this corruption does not continue to plague future elections. Do you agree? 
1	Terrible father Peter Nesmith is the absolute coolest, neighborhood children reported Monday. Nesmith, his wife, and his son Kevin. 'Tommy's dad is so awesome,' said David York, 9, a friend of Nesmith's 7-year-old son Thomas. 'He's not like the other dads who yell at you all the time. Everyone brings their fireworks to blow them off in his backyard. If we run out of matches, he lets us use his cigarette to light them off.' Added York: 'He's the only dad that treats us like adults and not like little babies who can't be trusted with an electric sander.' Nesmith, who married Karen Reynolds in 1990, is the father of three children besides Thomas: Evan, 10; Kevin, 13; and Julia, 15. Soon after moving into the quiet North Portland neighborhood, Nesmith cemented his cool-dad reputation by buying a 1974 Camaro, the costly upkeep of which forced the Nesmith family to cancel its dental insurance earlier this year. 'Before the Super Bowl, Mr. Nesmith let me ride in his Camaro to go to the gas station and help him carry bags of ice,' York said. 'Mrs. Nesmith doesn't want us riding in it, because it has a gas leak, but Mr. Nesmith said if he listened to Mrs. Nesmith, he wouldn't even have the awesome car in the first place.' 'When Mrs. Nesmith went to visit her sister last summer, Tommy got to eat Burger King every single night for the whole two weeks,' York said. 'He got to order whatever he wanted. He even got to ride his bike all the way over to Cortland Avenue to pick it up one night.' Neighborhood parents are less complimentary. Several have complained about the beer parties that Nesmith allows his eldest son Kevin to host in his basement. 'Boys are gonna drink,' Nesmith said when asked about the keg parties. 'At least I know they're safe if they're right there in the basement.' Neighbors have said they suspect that Nesmith purchases alcohol for the boys. 'I don't buy Kevin and his friends beer, but I do usually have a tapped keg set up in the basement fridge,' Nesmith said. 'I don't see what people get so worked up about. If the kids get sick, they can spend the night here. I'm the one who has to deal with a bunch of hungover 13-year-olds.' Added Nesmith: 'It's not like it's on a school night, usually.' Kevin's friend Tony Shadid said his parents are among those who complain about Nesmith. 'Mom's always yelling at us to do better in school so we don't turn out like Kevin's dad,' Shadid said. 'I don't know why. He doesn't look so bad to me. He's got a super-huge stereo and his own room in the basement with posters on the wall and a leather couch.' According to his children, Nesmith leaves the role of disciplinarian to his wife. 'Dad always says he didn't do good in school and he turned out fine,' Kevin said. 'He said he never really did homework and only went to class half the time. That's because it's way more important to get out in the world and get life experience. Dad mostly talks about all the drinking he did back then, but I think he also worked part-time at a machine shop or something.' Nesmith said he believes it's important to prepare his children for the 'real world.' In accordance with that belief, he gave his daughter Julia a condom Saturday before her date with a boy who was too scared to hold her hand. That same night, he let Evan watch the sexually explicit Monster's Ball while Kevin browsed his father's pornography stash in the garage. 'Kids need to learn about sex sometime,' Nesmith said. 'Otherwise, they'll just learn a bunch of fucked-up information about it on the street.' 'Don't worry,' he added. 'I keep the real rough stuff hidden.' Neighbor and father of two Jerry Helms said he thinks Nesmith is an 'all-right guy,' but said he was mystified by the adoration the neighborhood children heap on the terrible father. 'Whenever my son Jeff comes back from playing with Tommy, he's always saying, 'Mr. Nesmith let us do this, Mr. Nesmith let us do that,'' Helms said. 'He loves the guy, but sometimes I wonder. I always think of the time Tommy cut himself on a rusty nail and Pete sent him back to playing without doing anything about it.' Helms said he asked Nesmith if he was worried about Tommy getting an infection or even lockjaw, but Nesmith just laughed. 'Pete said that lockjaw would toughen Tommy up,' Helms said. 'He said he doesn't like to baby his kids.' Added Helms: 'I didn't argue with him about it. I didn't want him to think I was some sort of wuss.' 
3	Can Americans Escape the Deception?Paul Craig Roberts Not a single one of these speeches will contain one word of truth. No speaker will lament the death of the US Constitution or urge his audience to action to restore the only document that protects their liberty. No speaker will acknowledge that in the 21st century the Bush/Obama Regime, with the complicity of the Department of Justice, federal courts, Congress, presstitute media, law schools, bar associations, and an insouciant public have murdered the Constitution in the name of the war on terror. As in medieval times, American citizens can be thrown into dungeons and never accounted for. No evidence or charges need be presented to a court. No trial is required, and no conviction. As in tyrannies, US citizens can be executed at the sole discretion of the despot in the Oval Office, who sits there drawing up lists of people to be murdered. Protestors exercising their constitutionally guaranteed rights to freedom of speech and freedom of association are attacked by armed police, beaten, tasered, tear-gassed, pepper sprayed, and arrested. Whistleblowers who report the governments crimes are prosecuted despite the statute that protects them. According to the US Military Code, US soldiers are required to make war crimes known. However, the law on the books provided no protection to Bradley Manning, and conservative Republicans whom I know are foaming at the mouth for Manning to be executed for letting out the truth. The truth, what is mere truth compared to the exceptionalism of the great american people? America has carte blanche to do whatever it wishes to the unexceptional peoples. Manning deserves to die, they say, because he took the side of the oppressed and not the side of the amerikan oppressors. After the Swedish prosecutorial office dropped the case against Wikileaks JulianAssange, ruling that the charges of rape had no foundation, another prosecutor, many believe at the urging of the US government, demanded Assange be extradited from England in order to be questioned. Normally, extradition only applies to those who have been charged with a crime and for whom a warrant has been issued, which is most certainly not the case with Assange. But, of course, if Washington wants Assange, Washington will be sure every law is broken or bent until they get him. The Swedish puppet will do the exceptional countrys will and be paid well for its service. Peace activists in several states had their homes invaded by FBI, computers and personal records taken, and a grand jury was convened in an attempt to indict them for supporting terrorism by their protests of Washingtons illegal wars, wars that are war crimes under the Nuremberg standard established by the US government itself. None of this will be mentioned in July 4 patriotic speeches. The inebriated masses will be wrapped in the flag and return home full of the hubris that despises lesser foreigners, such as Muslims, Arabs, Chinese, and the French. And no dignitary will mention that those that we are killing over there are mainly women, children, village elders, and aid workers. The US troops seem to specialize in soft targets like weddings, funerals, kids soccer games, farm houses, and schools. Recently Washington reduced the collateral damage count by declaring every murdered male of military age to have been a Taliban fighter or terrorist. Obviously, Washington has no way of knowing whether they were or not, but Washingtons declaration is intended as a green light to murder Afghan males of military age. Currently, Washington has wars underway, or occupations, or is violating the sovereignty of countries with drones and/or troops in seven Muslim countries, and is arming rebels in Syria. All of this is being done without the constitutionally-required authorization by Congress, allegedly the peoples representatives. What a joke! In short, in freedom and democracy america, the people have no voice and no rights and no representatives. Yet, this huge deficit of democracy and liberty will pass unmentioned by July 4th orators. The crimes against humanity, the dismantling of the US Constitution and the lawlessness both domestic and international that define 21st century amerika are the results of September 11, 2001. Washingtons account of 9/11 is the wildest conspiracy theory known to mankind. The absurdity of Washingtons account is as follows: A few Saudi Arabians without any governments backing or that of any intelligence service outwitted not only the CIA and the FBI but all 16 US intelligence agencies, even the Defense Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency, together with the intelligence agencies of all of Washingtons NATO allies and Israels Mossad, which has infiltrated every radical Muslim group. These humble Saudis of no known distinction or powers also simultaneously outwitted the National Security Council, NORAD, the Pentagon, Air Traffic Control, and caused Airport Security to fail four times in one hour on the same morning. In other words, every part of Americas defenses failed at the same moment. Think about that for a minute. If such a thing had actually happened, the President, Vice President, Congress, and media would have been demanding to know how such universal failure of every aspect of the national security state was possible. An investigation would have started immediately, not over a year later as a result of pressure from 9/11 families who could not be bought off with monetary payments. Such complete and total failure of every aspect of US security would mean that americans were not safe one single minute during the 40-year stand-off with the Soviet Union. At any moment the Soviets could have utterly destroyed the US and we would never have known what hit us. In a real investigation, the 9/11 evidence would not have been illegally destroyed, and the investigation would have been conducted by experts, not by government agencies assigned a cover-up and by political hacks. The NIST report is abject nonsense. It explains nothing. It is a fabricated computer simulation of a non-event. The co-chairmen and legal counsel of the 9/11 Commission later wrote books in which they stated that information was withheld from the commission, the military lied to the commission, and the commission was set up to fail. Yet, these astounding admissions by the leaders of the 9/11 Commission had no impact on Congress, the presstitute media, or the public. All heads were in the sand. Please, whatever you do, dont make us emotional weaklings face the facts. More than one hundred firefighters, police, first responders, and building maintenance personnel report hearing and experiencing scores of explosions in the twin towers, including powerful explosions in the sub-basements prior to the collapse of the towers. Distinguished scientists, authors of many peer-reviewed scientific papers, report finding unreacted nano-thermite in the dust from the towers, tested it for its explosive and high-heat producing ability, and reported the unequivocal results. Seventeen hundred architects and engineers have testified in a petition to Congress that the three World Trade Center buildings were not brought down by fire and airplanes and have demanded a real scientific investigation of the cause of the buildings destruction. Yet, we are left with the paradox that scientific opinion based on careful examination of the remaining evidence has been designated by the ignorant and unwashed as a conspiracy theory, while Washingtons absurd conspiracy theory stands as the truth of the event. Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth headed by high-rise architect Richard Gage has driven the final nail in the coffin of Washingtons concocted conspiracy theory with its new film: 9/11: Explosive Evidence Experts Speak Out, and they do speak out. Scores of top level demolition experts and experts on the design, engineering, and construction of high rise steel structures provide the scientific, architectural, and engineering reasons that the three World Trade Center buildings came down only with the assistance of explosives that were placed and timed to remove the powerful structural support and permit the sudden collapse of the buildings. As the buildings were engineered and constructed according to known and tested principles that absolutely prevent rapid collapse, fire and structural damage that two of the three skyscrapers suffered from airliners could not possibly have caused the sudden disintegration of the three buildings. I saw the film in Atlanta on July 2. Atlanta was a stop on the 32-city premier of the film. The film was shown at the 7 Stages Theater on Euclid Avenue, the former Euclid Theater to which 65 years ago we kids used to ride our bikes to see Tarzan battle giant reptiles and ride elephants to victory over evil black tribesmen or evil white hunters, or to watch Randolph Scott bring justice with his six-shooter to a town ruled by black hats, or to witness the brave American soldiers liberate Europe from the Nazis. We never dreamed that we, residents of the land of the free would be menaced by a gestapo police state. Americas descent into a gestapo police state could be arrested, perhaps, if americans were not so ignorant of science or were capable of even realizing that what they see with their own eyes when they watch videos of the twin towers destruction is buildings blowing up, not buildings falling down from structural damage. Building 7s destruction is the total and complete picture of controlled demolition. At the end of the powerful film, psychologists explain why the majority of a population lacks the mental and emotional strength to confront highly disturbing facts. A government that so thoroughly spies on its population as Washington does obviously knows its populations profile and sees nothing but weakness and fear that can be manipulated. What fact is more disturbing than the likely fact that 9/11 was a false flag event designed to provide the neoconservatives with their new Pearl Harbor in order to launch Washingtons Wars of Hegemony in the Middle East, and from there to Iran and to the nuclear powers: Russia and China, which are being encircled, as Iran has been, with US military bases? What we are experiencing is a replay of the French Revolution, this time on a world stage. Napoleon, the inheritor of the French Revolution, conquered Europe several times in the effort to expand the New Order in France to all of Europe. The French Revolution was the first claim of a New World Order, but at that time the world Washingtons wars of liberation are wars of world hegemony and wars of massive profits for the military/security complex. The combination of power and money that are the motives for Washingtons concocted wars are hidden motives, wrapped in the flag, patriotic sentiments, and fear of dark-skinned demonized Muslims. Can Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth or any truth break through and liberate americans from the artificial reality created by government liars and a corrupt presstitute media, or are americans doomed to expire in the Matrix that has been created for them? Perhaps the hope is that the economy will collapse under the would-be hegemons, and people who will not fight for principles and their liberty will fight for their economic survival.

1	Mixed martial artist Phillipe Nover announced design plans Thursday for a new T-shirt that he claimed would be completely covered in hundreds of dumbshit fighting terms and stupid fucking tribal patterns. 'This shirt will feature a rambling assortment of worthless violent images and words, like 'grapple' and 'slam,' all thrown together in the most unappealing colors possible,' said Nover, adding that graphics would include spray-painted angel wings, laughing skulls wearing crowns, random splatter marks, and other images so idiotic they could only appeal to 8-year-old boys from Long Island or emotionally undeveloped middle-aged men. 'It's going to look like two Ed Hardy shirts fucked and vomited on each other. I can guarantee it will be the stupidest, ugliest T-shirt ever made.' When asked if the inside tag would also feature an unsightly design, Nover admitted he had not yet thought of that but would be sure to include 'machine guns or naked lady silhouettes or something else that's stupid.'

3	The Next Shot Heard Round the World Will Be in Northern CaliforniaDave Hodges Northern California Is an Agenda 21 Battleground Over the years, many rural residents have been frustrated by federal environmental laws restricting logging and other forestry activities. The timber industry is dead. The mining industry is dead. The entire region is being deindustrialized and many residents and local leaders have stated that becoming a state would finally allow them to push the federal government to alter the onerous restrictions on government-owned land as well to forsake the private property rights restrictions being imposed upon them. Along these lines of selective media coverage, please allow me to ask you a question. Would you find it a tad bit interesting, and would you want to see it on your nightly news if you were to discover that a portion of the country was purposely being made to go broke by the Federal government? Would you further find it newsworthy that the people in Northern California are soon going to be forced off of their lands, by the tens if not hundreds of thousands of people, which will result in their relocation to urban areas to the south? Have you ever seen a Wildlands Agenda 21 map where all the red dots and red colored areas are targeted for becoming no human habitation zones? Well, all of these things and more are taking place in Northern California, and Im willing to bet that none of you have heard of the horrific abuses that has been perpetrated by the Federal government and their minions in California state government. This is their story. My Interview with Congressman LaMalfas Field Representative In September, an aide to Congressman Doug LaMalfa, Erin Ryan, stated that she and fellow staffers favored a proposal for a county in the California Republicans district to secede from the state, according to local media. Field representative, Erin Ryan attended a public meeting in September of 2013, in which the Siskiyou County board of supervisors approved a secession declaration, the Redding Record Searchlight reported. Ryan, went on to say that she and other LaMalfa staff members supported the efforts of counties in Northern California and Southern Oregon to secede from their respective states and form the state of Jefferson. Ryan was careful to state that her views and the views of the other staffers did not necessarily reflect the official view of Congressman LaMalfa. However, in my opinion, the appearance of Ryan and the other staffers at this and similar meetings in Northern California and Southern Oregon, speaks clearly to the interest of Congressman LaMalfa. The fervor to leave the state of California was also fueled by Modoc County supervisors who voted 4-0 in favor in secession. Recently, I interviewed Erin Ryan about the events in Northern California and Southern Oregon and what I discovered was that the Federal government and two state governments have declared war upon the residents of this region. Over the years, many rural residents have been frustrated by federal environmental laws restricting logging and other forestry activities. Byrne said becoming a state would finally allow them to push the federal government to alter the onerous restrictions on government-owned land. No Hunting On Tax Supported Forest Land If you were to drive through the towns along Interstate 5 in Northern California, you would have a hard time finding sporting-goods stores to sell you any hunting equipment. Yet, this region was once the prime hunting grounds in the United States. This is not the case anymore, and Erin Ryan was kind enough to point out the reasons why. One can still obtain a hunting permit while living in Northern California. However, if you were to be driving your car on a road near a forest, that your taxes go to support, you could not stray from the road by more than one car length. Therefore, in this region of the country, if you wanted to hunt, you literally have to park your car along the side of the road, hike in, shoot your game and then you would have to literally drag your game back out to the road. Hunting is dead and so are sporting-goods stores in this region of the country. One interesting side note about the US Forest Service, is that they have been closing most roads into forests all across the country. Northern California and Southern Oregon have been greatly impacted by this process. Although a few of the roads remain open, they are not marked and they are nearly impossible to find on a map. Adding insult to injury, there are some people who need to travel on forest roads to get home. If they are caught traveling on the wrong roads they can be fined and even jailed. Irrigating Farms Nothing is more fundamental to successful farming then the right to irrigate ones land. The vast majority of farmers in Northern California and Southern Oregon have previously and successfully adjudicated the right to irrigate their farmland. However, several federal agencies such as the EPA along with several state agencies, are doing everything in their power to prevent farmers from irrigating their land and the previous case law be damned. According to Erin Ryan, and other locals who I have previously spoken with, the cost passed on to the farmers for pumping water onto their farmland has increased from .6 cents to over $.13 per gallon. For some of these farmers, this represents a $200,000 increase in the cost of irrigating their farmland over the course of a year. This increase is making the cost of farming in this region, unsustainable. This increase is leading to a dramatic drop-off in food production from this region with devastating economic side effects. Water rights in this region have been carefully adjudicated by the courts. Most of the farmers and ranchers participate in a system which is often referred to as in-stream flow. The system allows farmers and ranchers, by prior agreement to siphon off a certain amount of water through a trap door device. A water master routinely inspects these trapdoors to make sure that farmers and ranchers are only taking what they are entitled to take under the law. The system has worked well for several decades has farming and ranching were once very profitable enterprises in this region. But there is a fly in the ointment: state government is requiring these farmers and ranchers to obtain permits before they can open these trapdoor devices, and the farmers and ranchers are being denied permission to obtain the permits. They shouldnt even have to obtain equipment because their rights to the water have been legally guaranteed, but since when do radical environmentalists ever respect property rights or the letter of the law? The resulting effect spells doom for many of these ranchers and farmers. And God help these farmers and ranchers if a fish, such as a salmon, is ever discovered floating dead through their properties. Hundreds and even thousands of dollars of fines have been levied upon discovery of dead fish. These farmers and ranchers are literally having their livelihoods and their properties stolen out from underneath of their noses. This is sheer economic tyranny being perpetrated by the Agenda 21 forces of this country. The EPA Destruction of Dams The EPA has announced plans to commence destroying several dams in the Klamath River in order to save the salmon. However, scientific data tells us that salmon would rather be spawning on streams that are within 20 miles of the coast, not 150 miles inland. Taking out the four dams along the Klamath River is an EPA and BLM objective based upon scientific fraud along the same lines as global warming. If these dams are allowed to be removed, these farmers and ranchers will not be able to obtain the water they need to sustain their livelihoods. It is not an overstatement to claim that the destruction of these dams is an extinction level event for this region. To do so, will result in massive migration of people from this region all in the name of protecting the salmon, which is not even an indigenous fish to this region. Agenda 21 Objectives Being Fulfilled There are clearly a number of forces at work here. First, we see the clear Hunger Games type of agenda in which people have been forced off of pristine land, denied the use of water which results in the destruction of their local food supply. This fact makes people dependent upon the government; and the residents of this region will be forced to relocate to urban areas following the devastating loss of their land. This is becoming a popular way in which the federal government is forcing people off of their land all across the country while not having to pay the costs associated with legitimate eminent domain. Plain and simple, this process represents a cost-effective method to steal private property on behalf of special interests. Secondly, we are going to witness the total depopulation of this area in the name of protecting a non-indigenous fish. This is the environmentalist creed of Gaia which turns upside down the traditional and prioritized order of the hierarchy of life on this planet. The traditional Christian view of hierarchical structure of power on this planet consists of God, man, foul, fish and land. The radical environmentalists hierarchical structure of power consists of land, foul, fish and man with no mention of God. These opposing paradigms are what make most of us scratch our heads and state What the hell do they think theyre doing? The plan begins to make sense when one considers the prime objectives of Agenda 21 as outlined by the United Nations. The United Nations seeks to remove all people and all human habitats from her and wilderness areas and to relocate all people into six mega-regions in what is euphemistically referred to as stack and pack cities. The following video outlines the major threats to the people in this region. County Supervisor, Grace Bennett of Siskiyou County, references Agenda 21 as being a motivating force for subjugating not only home region of the country, but the rest of the country as well. The following 9-minute video is important to watch. Erin Ryan also shared with me that when these four dams are destroyed, the ranches and farms of many of the nearby residents will be flooded out, thus adding to the carnage and destruction being visited upon these people by the federal government. The Algae Factor In a previous radio appearance by Erin Ryan on The Common Sense Show, Ryan related how the destruction of the Klamath River dams will result in huge deposits of algae which will make this pristine land very difficult to farm. It was at this moment that I had an epiphany. The Agenda 21 goal of depopulating this region was also motivated by a secondary goal, the proliferation of algae. This is something that I have a great deal of knowledge about, because Ive dealt with this issue when I was writing my seven-part series on the Gulf oil explosion. Gulf Dead Zones Caused By Corexit As I discovered in the Gulf, the use of Corexit as the primary oil dispersant was very ineffective and led many researchers, like myself, to question the wisdom of the use of the most toxic dispersant on the face of the earth. In fact, Corexit does not disperse any oil, it merely submerges the oil. But what Corexit does do is it sucks all the CO2 out of the water and creates a dead zone. And this is precisely what we see along vast stretches of the Gulf: dead zones. When Erin revealed to me that algae proliferation was going to be a byproduct of the destruction of these dams, I realized that this was intentional. In the Gulf, algae farms, the next biofuel craze, have been springing up all along the coastline. The sponsors of this algae movement in the Gulf Coast have been none other than Al Gore, Warren Buffett and George Soros. Following the destruction of these dams, I fully expect to see the same globalists bringing their algae farms to this abandoned region. The Mechanics of Secession I have learned from speaking with Erin Ryan that as many as 15 counties in Northern California are moving to secede and join the state of Jefferson; the name of the intended 51st state. Secession faces two major roadblocks for this region. The California state legislature must first approve these counties leaving the state. This, according to Ryan, may not be an insurmountable task, as the counties use more state revenue than they produce. Therefore, it would be cost effective for the state to let these counties secede. It is generally believed, that secession also hinges upon a successful bill being passed in Congress. This could prove to be the major obstacle, because this government is run by and controlled by the forces of Agenda 21. Because of this latter reason, I do not expect that secession efforts of Northern California and Southern Oregon to succeed under the present set of circumstances. Conclusion This is clearly a beta test for Agenda 21 in which the globalists are perfecting the process of depopulating region and to make a profit in the process. By my latest count, there are no less than nine federal agencies working in unison to force these people off of their land. I think it is very likely that we are witnessing the model that Agenda 21 will pursue in subjugating world and wilderness areas and across the United States in the near future. However, I think that the federal government and their Agenda 21 benefactors may have miscalculated the outcome in which people may respond. Trapped people and trapped animals typically respond in a very similar manner. Along these lines, Gerald Celente likes the following quote: When people lose everything, they have nothing left to lose, and they lose it. Very soon, the people of Northern California and Southern Oregon will have nothing left to lose. This will make them extremely dangerous to the federal government. The people of Northern California and Southern Oregon are trapped between two very bad choices. They can choose to walk away from everything, face bankruptcy and be forced to start over in a lifestyle of which many of them are totally unfamiliar. Or, they can choose to try and somehow get by, most likely fail, face bankruptcy and be forced to start over in a lifestyle of which many of them are totally unfamiliar. Different choices resulting in the same outcome. These are tough, resilient people. If they reach the point of having nothing to lose, they could very likely lose it and we may see this region of the country being the modern day Lexington and Concord in which the next first shot heard around the world is fired.

1	Saying shes ready to have some fun and meet somebody new, local single mother Denise Tripp told reporters Friday she hopes to get back out there and start dating again during the half hour or so each week when shes not busy working or raising her 8-year-old daughter. It will be wonderful getting to know someone in the few moments I have while walking back to the house in the morning after I drop Haley off at her bus stop, said Tripp, remarking that she also has a four-and-a-half-minute window to build a relationship with a new partner on Sundays after she finishes the laundry and before she does her shopping for the week. I cant tell you how much Im looking forward to just going out and enjoying a meal and a conversation with another adult. As long as I can find someone who lives nearby and doesnt mind picking something up quick and eating in the car, I should be able to fit that in on my way to pick up Haley from her dance class. Tripp added that shes not looking for Mr. Perfect, just someone with whom she can curl up and watch a movie in a dozen or so 10-minute installments over the course of several months. 
3	9/11 Revisited: Live Mainstream Media Coverage Conflicted with Official StoryAs the anniversary is shortly upon us, we decided to revisit footage captured from live local media broadcasts on the morning of September 11, 2001. TV news stations always have slogans like news you can count on, but when a major traumatic event happens, what percentage of the live mainstream media reports that you are watching are even really happening? On September 11, the nation watched in horror live as the second plane slammed into the World Trade Center, then later both towers collapsed into their own footprints live; essentially, the nations viewing audience watched thousands of people die on live TV. As audiences are captivated by the nightmarish scenes of death and destruction replayed over and over and over again on 24/7 news channels, are they too traumatized in that instant to question anything they are being told with a critical eye? Are viewers simply terrified into readily believing everything that they see on TV? Of the original, YouTube viewer Jsd8675 wrote, Best coverage illustrates the feeling that every city was eventually going to be attacked, everything was closing, shutting down, the country was falling apart. Looking back we know what happened. Back then, we thought the entire country was falling apart. The reporting of this event as seen above certainly mirrors that viewers sentiments; traumatic doesnt even begin to cover it, and much more was being reported than just the attacks at the World Trade Center, the attack on the Pentagon, and the crash at Shanksville, Pennsylvania that comprise the official 9/11 Commission report. After the space shuttle Challenger blew up live on television killing all seven people aboard, Joyce Nelson wrote: On Tuesday, January 28, 1986, the two-minute TV clip dominated the airwaves of North America. Although the only network covering the Challenger launch live was Ted Turners Atlanta-based Cable News Network (CNN), within six minutes of the disaster, CBS, ABC and NBC, followed by CTC and CBC, broke into their regular programming and stayed with live coverage for five hours straight: playing and replaying again and again and again this eerie two-minute video clip. Time Magazine called it a nightmarish image destined to linger in the nations shared consciousness. Senior writer Lance Morrow stated: Over and over the bright extinction played on the television screen almost ghoulishly repeated until it had sunk into collective memory. And there it will abide, abetted by the weird metaphysics of videotape, which permits the endless repetition of a brute finality.

1	After making sure to douse every home, farm, and business located in the municipality with gasoline, retreating Clinton campaign staffers reportedly set the central Iowa town of Humboldt ablaze Friday to stem the advance of Bernie Sanders volunteers. Once we received word the Sanders campaign had begun canvassing in nearby Fort Dodge, we only had a matter of hours to burn everything to the ground, said communications director Jennifer Palmieri, who tossed a lit torch through the window of the towns hardware store before rushing over to help a group of Hillary for America workers erect a roadblock made of dead livestock to prevent all entrance to and exit from the city. With so little time left before voting day, we simply cant allow them to establish a foothold in this part of the state. Besides, you cant convince anyone to caucus for Bernie Sanders if the civilian population is gone and all thats left is smoldering rubble. At press time, Clinton campaign staffers were spotted rigging a nearby bridge with C-4 as they hastily retreated to Algona. 
2	Liberals Attack Donald Trumps Son After These Photos Leak, But He Responds With THIS... [SEE PHOTOS] Photos of Donald Trumps sons big game hunting in Africa have gone viral, and are infuriating liberals throughout country. But Don Trump and Eric Trump are standing behind their trip. Not a PR move. I didnt give the pics but I have no shame about them either, Don tweeted. I HUNT EAT game. The company that led the hunt, Hunting Legends, claims that the trip was not a first for the two brothers. The pair likely received trophy fees for the animals shown in the photos. A Waterbuck, like the one they are pictured with, can bring in multiple thousands of dollars. The Trumps soon showed their metal and it was evident from the word go that these two amazing young men are everything but the city slickers you would expect! the site for Hunting Legend reads. They meant business from the outset of the hunt. I can assure you it was not wasteful the villagers were so happy for the meat which they dont often get to eat, Don responded to critics on Twitter. Very grateful. What do you think? Is this just another unsubstantiated attack on the Trump family? 
1	Ever since a humiliatingly short mechanical-bull ride at the Cadillac Ranch last Thursday, area resident Scott Wiseck has been planning a rematch, the 27-year-old UPS deliveryman reported Tuesday. Wiseck visits the Cadillac Ranch to 'size up' the mechanical bull in preparation for their rematch. 'Last week was flat-out embarrassing,' Wiseck said. 'I was barely up on that bull five seconds before I was face-down on the floor wearing my ass for a hat. It wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't been acting like a big shot in front of those two girls from Bowling Green. I couldn't even look them in the eye for the rest of the night after I lost to that bull.' Lured onto the bull by the $500 prize awarded to the winner of the weekly contest, Wiseck was not ready for the Bullseye-brand bull's U.L. code set electricals and hydraulic bucking action. According to the automatic timer, Wiseck was vanquished by the bull in just 3.5 seconds. 'Next time will be different, though,' Wiseck said. 'I'm gonna be ready for that bull.' Wiseck said he has spent hours pondering the mistakes he made during the disastrous ride, in order to create a plan of action for Thursday's rematch. 'I was overconfident, plain and simple,' Wiseck said. 'My daddy always told me: You can't tame an animal unless you respect it. It's a little different, this bull being a machine and all, but the principle's the same. I went into that pit cocky, so I was bound to end up bass-ackwards in front of the whole town.' Wiseck said alcohol was another factor contributing to his defeat. 'I was too drunk last week,' Wiseck said. 'It's a good idea to have a few Coors longnecks to loosen you up and give you some liquid courage, but next week, I'm staying away from the 2-for-1 rail drinks. I'll have plenty of time to buy victory rounds after I take that bull down.' A large pre-bull-riding meal also contributed to his poor showing, Wiseck said. 'An hour or so before my ride, I ate a Saddle Burger with all the fixings,' Wiseck said. 'It's no wonder I didn't stay on the bull for more than a few bucks. Next Thursday, I'll just have one of those Power Bars. That'll put me in peak condition without filling me up.' Having reviewed his performance, Wiseck plans to rent the 1980 movie Urban Cowboy, to seek inspiration from John Travolta. 'I haven't seen Urban Cowboy in a long time, so I bet it'll pump me up,' Wiseck said. 'I've also been thinking about bringing my own music to play during my ride, maybe AC/DC's 'You Shook Me All Night Long.' Last week, George Jones' 'White Lightning' was on the jukebox when I lost to the bull. As much as I love that song, it's just not good bull-riding music.' With his plan laid out, Wiseck said he thinks he's in the running to not only win the $500 prize, but also beat the bar's all-time record of 34.5 seconds and displace Daryl Schumacher from the chalkboard hanging behind the bar. 'It's less about the money and more about the dignity of the Wiseck name,' Wiseck said. 'I will pay the $10 entry fee over and over again, all night long, if I have to. I don't care what anyone says, I'm going to beat that thing. This is personal; it's between me and the bull.' Wiseck's friends say they don't expect him to conquer the bull this Thursday, or anytime soon. 'I don't care how much Scotty wants ithe's not gonna beat the Big Motherbucker,' Wiseck's friend Sam Lewis said. 'His dreams are as big as the West Texas sky, but physically, he's just too weak. You need upper-body strength to ride that thing, which is something you just don't get from driving a delivery truck all day. He should probably stick to playing foosball in the back room, where he's king of the table.' 
1	The masterminds behind the bloodless coup d'etat that wrested power from President Askar Akayev Sunday said they were disappointed by the peaceful, efficient execution of the regime change. Nyboyev tells disappointed revolutionaries that the battle for control of Kyrgyzstan is already over. 'We spent months singing songs about the streets running red with the blood of our oppressors,' said Ramazan Nyboyev, supreme leader of the New Dawning party and new president of Kyrgyzstan. 'Now I'm standing here with the capital city under my thumb, and I didn't even get to fire my gun.' 'Some of the younger guerrillas were running the Russian consul's china through a clay-pigeon launcher. But why shoot perfectly good china?' Nyboyev added. The transfer of power, which ended Kyrgyzstan's 14-year experiment with democracy, was completed in fewer than four hours. 'I was going to lay siege to the lower house of parliament and bomb the president's mansion,' Nyboyev said. 'But by the time I got up the parliament steps, the delegates had rescinded their titles and sworn their 'everlasting allegiance to the New Dawn.' And why bomb the mansion when the president has left the keys hanging in the door next to a note about the thermostat?' According to Nyboyev, the coup produced 'not a single martyr.' 'Who am I supposed to put on the money?' Nyboyev asked. 'That soldier who cut himself on his own bayonet? This day was supposed to create heroes for our history books. Now the only way for us to earn the people's respect is to repair the nation's infrastructure.' Added Nyboyev: 'Ambush isn't supposed to be like this.' The New Dawning party was formed in 2003, when 14 high-ranking military officials united to overthrow the Akayev administration, a hotbed of corruption, embezzlement, and negligence. 'We planned in secret, biding our time until the day we would storm the capital and crush our adversaries,' said New Dawning undersecretary Kurmanek Dutbeyev, who, prior to the coup, warned his family that he was unlikely to survive the 'historic day of bloodshed.' 'I imagined it all a thousand times: the coordinated assault, the rooftop gun battles, the face-to-face brutalityand then nothing. Come the big day, I didn't slit a single throat.' Weapons the revolutionaries never even got a chance to use. Added Dutbeyev: 'We were prepared for casualtieseven mass casualtiesbut no casualties at all? We had no plan in place for that.' The Kyrgyzstani military, one of the most formidable in the region when under Soviet control, did not resist the coup. 'We spent months coming up with an offensive to neutralize the Elite Guard,' Nyboyev said. 'But when we ordered them to throw their weapons to the ground, they actually threw their weapons to the ground.' Government financial records, made public after the coup, might explain the ready surrender: Even high-ranking administration and military officials had not been paid for months. 'The treasury was empty,' Nyboyev said. 'The president himself seemed happy to wash his hands of Kyrgyzstan.' Members of the New Dawning party said that, in planning to overthrow the government, they focused on the coup itself, giving little thought to how they would run a nation of five million. 'Our men were expertly trained in poisoning, garroting, and sniping,' Nyboyev said. 'Now we are 14 deadly revolutionaries in a room, trying to figure out who will be minister of transportation. Earlier today, the military leaders came to us and demanded pay. They were a lot more vicious than they were when they were defending their former bosses.' The international media has largely ignored the coup. 'We thought we would draw the world's attention to our nation's plight and its liberators' bravery,' Nyboyev said. 'But who cares about 'Eurasian Country Changes Hands; No One Hurt'? The story, like our hopes, got buried.' Nyboyev said he was relieved that the foreign press did not seize upon the party's slogan, which the radicals had printed on posters, buttons, and pamphlets in preparation for their ascendance to power: 'When they failed to bow to the people's will, they fell beneath our swords.' 'We had to throw all those out,' Nyboyev said. 'They're just embarrassing now.' 
1	Color commentator John Madden spent the third quarter of the San Diego Chargers-Denver Broncos game explaining exactly how important it is for an NFL team to have a quarterback. 'You're definitely gonna need one of these guys on your team if you want to have any success in the NFL,' Madden said, explaining how having somebody standing directly behind the center when the ball is snapped provides a feeling of stability and consistency. 'If Denver, for example, didn't have a quarterback, they could maybe hand the ball off to the running back, but there's absolutely no way the Broncos could pass the ball to the receivers. Frankly, I don't know how the Raiders do it.' Madden later went on to talk about how different football would be if there were no end zone and the field 'just went on and on forever.' 
1	As part of his administration's continued efforts to stimulate the economy and liven up a slow weeknight, President Obama announced today that, effective immediately, Tuesdays will be half-off for ladies nationwide. 'It is imperative to our economic health that we inject capital wisely and get some blondes in here, preferably hot young ones,' said Obama, who submitted a proposal before Congress to increase tube-top usage by 200 percent. 'We can only escape this recession with the full cooperation of the American peopleso ladies, please, bring your girlfriends. When did this country turn into such a sausage fest?' According to estimates by the Department of the Interior, the first national Ladies' Night will be attended by an estimated 117 million men and one bachelorette party. 
2	BREAKING: Trump Makes MASSIVE Announcement About His Wife Melania.. Public Stunned Donald Trump has been the object of media criticism for some time now. Most recently, he has been ridiculed for his response to the attack on his wife, Melania, by a super PAC linked to his GOP opponent Ted Cruz. The advertisement, which featured a semi-nude photograph of Melania has been a public relations nightmare for the Trump family. That tension was made worse when Trump retweeted a picture of Heidi Cruz, comparing her looks to his beautiful wife. Now, despite the medias attempt to take her down, Trump has just announced that Melania will be campaigning for him in Wisconsin on Monday. Shes going to campaign, Trump announced on Saturday at a rally. Shes never done this before. So that will be exciting, Melania is coming up. This move is sure to outrage liberals, who throw a tantrum anytime Trump is given more attention (which this is sure to bring in). Not to mention, it goes against the assumption that Trump would try to keep Melania out of the spotlight. Wisconsin is a big state for Trump to tackle. He is currently trailing Ted Cruz by an average of 6.5 points. It is clear that this is an attempt to help boost his numbers. Melania is already loved by Trumps supporters, who have commented that she is a vast improvement from Michelle Obama. What do you think? Is this a smart move on Trumps part? 
3	Why Are They Hosting a Weird Occultic Dance Opera Inside CERN?By Melissa Dykes You can listen to Brave New World author Aldous Huxley explain the symbolism of that statue here. Notice anything about this logo? Guess searching for that God particle is so important they would build a multi-billion-dollar facility but take time out in their scientific pursuits for performance art? Even if you are not inclined to believe there is anything conspiratorial going on at CERN, you have to admit at the very least, this is really, really bizarre. (H/T Ang) Three 9s and terrible dancing. Its just lame. Actually, the 666 does kinds bother me, but cern is just a giant waste of money that does little but produce more days than anyone could ever analyze looking for imaginary particles based purely in mathematics with no basis in reality. Might do some good of they put electric universe people in charge and designed the right experiments but since they just discovered a way to accelerate particles with a plasma device at a very small (or big?) fraction of the cost, CERN is a big white elephant destined to go down in history as a colossal failure. All that nonsense about black holes and portals to other dimensions are just that. Nonsense. Imagine they would try to set up a working economic system where every child born into this world could really have equal chances, education, food, water, space teach SHARING GIFTING turning our planet into a FREE garden,,, where no man can buy other man for a salary Its called the millennial reign of Jesus 1000 years of bliss then eternity I want to be there . No its called: GIFT ECONOMY (where people produce gifts instead profit) INDIVIDUAL /PERSONAL SOVEREIGNTY instead state sovereignty that use power to bomb others and steal their resources Right? I often think of what a wonderful world it could be. TPTB clearly enjoy immiseration of the populace, its just not enough getting rich and powerful. Maybe it should be TPPTB. PSYCHO for the extra P. Most of TPTB are Luciferians so their goal is to become as gods on Earth and as such must be 1) Omnipotent, 2) Omniscient, and 3) Omnipresent along with having power over all life and death. If you believe they *think* like normal people (i.e. have a conscience, feel guilt, empathy, compassion, the things that make us human) you would be sorely mistaken. This is the biggest hurdle for most people, I think they cant believe someone would do the things TPTB do because THEY couldnt see themselves doing it so they dont accept their actions as being on purpose. TPTB do not think like humans they ARE psychopaths in the truest sense of the word. Oh, and it doesnt matter if you dont believe in Lucifer or God, or whatever. The important thing is that THEY believe in him and act accordingly. Your beliefs dont affect their behavior only their beliefs do. Yeah thanks for reminding me tptb arent constrained by any notions of what most consider ethical behavior and values and morals. I pretty much knew that but maybe needed to hear it and keep that in the forefront. Thanks. Yeah, pure science is soooo lame! and sooo expensive! Why cant everyone just acknowledge the truth that the world is flat, and was created at the whim of an omnipotent god only 6000 yrs ago. You believe all the matter in the universe popped out of a tiny speck in minutes for no reason at all quicker than God then the hydrogen turned into gold , silver and carbon etc etc just like that as tommy cooper used to say ? And that a magic fairy waved her wand over a muddy pool and made a 3 billion code Wtf are you talking about? Cern is part of the beast gematria from babylon times This is not in defense of CERN but about Shiva who is definitely getting getting a bad rap here. Yes, Shiva is the symbol of destruction: OF THE MIND, that is. At a deeper level, Shiva symbolizes the withdrawing or dissolution of the sense organs of perception that move outward and connect us through the brain to our 3D experiences. When mind and sensory awareness are destroyed or withdrawn (through meditation for example), our Pure Eternal Awareness/Consciousness alone exists the only true reality there is. I tend to agree. Cosmology and mythology have been indelibly linked since the dawn of civilization. I dont find it strange at all that scientists at the CERN would pay homage to this historical linkage with this style of dance. As a side note, I dont believe the scientists at the CERN fully understand themselves what they are observing with their colliders and telescopes. Einsteins theories completely ignore anything having to do with electricity. As a result, we get theories of space plasma that are based entirely on hydrodynamic theory, rather than laboratory proven facts. Check out Symbols of an Alien Sky and Thunderbolts of The Gods for some alternative science that makes a hell of a lot more sense than theories of bending space. Rrrright. So, scientists are going to pay homage to institutions/religions and beliefs they consider superstition, myth and the realm of the feeble-minded idiot masses . Im sorry, but that sounds extremely thin to me. Theres something more to it especially in light of that freaky opera/dance with all of the purgatory-esque visuals and the mysterious black character. I agree, however, in regards to the Thunderbolts of the Gods, etc. I think thats a theory with as much credibility as any of the other ones shoved down our throats as truth. I guess the problem lies as it does with most other non-standard theories in that if proven right, there would be a lot of establishment scientists with reputations built on pet theories that would look pretty stupid after years of strutting around like they were all just so-special. I believe the LHC is more about creating dark matter (anti-matter) for use as a weapon and possibly opening other dimensions (as some of the CERN scientists have openly stated). Since when have governments and corporations spent billions in pursuit of something to HELP humanity? Everything they do is about maintaining their power any other appearance is window dressing and misdirection (IMO, of course). This dance is probably the only thing of value to come out of this huge waste of money pursuing after proof of theoretical mathematical wankings, which would be much better spent on plasma physics. See Electric Universe and their criticisms of modern physics. 
2	CONFIRMED: Oregon Shooter Was A Radical Muslim Inspired By ISIS Chilling facts continue to arise in the Umpqua Community College shooting, and it has nothing to do with the anti-gun agenda that President Obama has decided to push. We already know that the attack was likely one targeted against Christians. Now, according to Got News, new evidence reveals that shooter Chris Harper-Mercer is very likely a Muslim. Harper-Mercer reportedly has a Myspace page, on which he is only connected to two people. One of them is Mahmoud Ali Ehsani, a Muslim who has posted violent terrorist images on his page. This comes after reports that Harper-Mercer asked several individual students if they were Christians. When they said yes, he proceeded to shoot them, saying Good, youll see God in a second. Of course, it is unlikely that the Obama administration will acknowledge this as a hate crime. They seem to only like to do that when victims are part of a minority. What do you think? Are you sick of the attack on Christians in this country?

2	BREAKING: Two Cops Shot Dead In Arizona... Please Pray According to some devastating new reports, two Arizona cops were shot at a Walmart on Saturday morning when a transient ambushed them inside of the super store. 24-year-old Mitchell Oakley was shot and killed after he opened fire on officers as they walked into the Phoenix-area retailer, authorities claim. The Chandler police officers, who have not yet been identified, were called to the suburbs Walmart to remove a trespasser, officials claim. Oakley approached them in the front of the store, and started shooting the moment they arrived. I guess you can call it what you want, Chandler police spokesman Seth Tyler commented. It sounds like an ambush to me. Oakley was pronounced dead at the scene. At the time of the shooting, the Walmart Supercenter was open for business. It is unknown how many people were in the store at the time, but it is now closed. Cynthia Ayala, who was on the other side of the store in a dressing room, described her experience to reporters. I thought it was like pallets falling, she commented. I never thought it would be gunshots. Watch the report below and tell us what you think. Are you tired of the attacks on our officers in this country? 
3	A new giant vaccine scandal exposes government lies and psyopsJon Rappoport You can pretty much operate a whole sector of society and remain untouched. Nowhere is this more clear than in the criminal work of the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The real name of that agency should be: Centers for Disease Information Control. Thats what they do. They manipulate words and numbers to present fictional images to the public. Theyre a tax-funded PR front for the medical cartel. A 24/7 psyop. Yes, of course Im a criminal. I work for the CDC. Here is the latest blockbuster. After writing about fake vaccine science since 1988, I thought Id seen it all: Wild falsehoods about vaccines creating immunity; suppressed information about toxic ingredients in the shots; the absence of proper controlled studies proving vaccines are safe and effective. But now Peter Doshi, PhD, writing in the online BMJ (British Medical Journal), reveals a new monstrosity. Its all based on the revelation that most flu is not the flu. You see, as Doshi states, every year, hundreds of thousands of respiratory samples are taken from flu patients in the US and tested in labs. Here is the kicker: only a small percentage of these samples show the presence of a flu virus. This means: most of the people in America who are diagnosed by doctors with the flu have no flu virus in their bodies. Therefore, even if you assume the flu vaccine is useful and safe, it couldnt possibly prevent all those flu cases that arent flu cases. The vaccine couldnt possibly work. The vaccine isnt designed to prevent fake flu, unless pigs can fly. Actually, most flu cases are bacteria cases, fungal cases, or pollution cases, or tainted food cases, or eating GMO cases, or something else. But they arent the flu. Heres the exact quote from Peter Doshis BMJ review, Influenza: marketing vaccines by marketing disease (BMJ 2013; 346:f3037): But perhaps the cleverest aspect of the influenza marketing strategy surrounds the claim that flu and influenza are the same. The distinction seems subtle, and purely semantic. But general lack of awareness of the difference might be the primary reason few people realize that even the ideal influenza vaccine, matched perfectly to circulating strains of wild influenza and capable of stopping all influenza viruses, can only deal with a small part of the flu problem because most flu appears to have nothing to do with influenza. Every year, hundreds of thousands of respiratory specimens are tested across the US. Of those tested, on average 16% are found to be influenza positive. Its no wonder so many people feel that flu shots dont work: for most flus, they cant. Because most diagnosed cases of the flu arent the flu. So even if youre a true believer in mainstream vaccine theory, youre on the short end of the stick here. Theyre conning your socks off. Doshi points out the wordplay distinction between flu and influenza. But lets go even simpler and say: most of the time, diagnosed flu isnt flu. Period. In an ethical world, medical researchers and bureaucrats would blow the whistle. Theyd say, Hey, were diagnosing huge numbers of people with the flu, but that turns out to be a meaningless term, because they dont have an influenza virus. So they couldnt have the flu. These fake flu cases couldnt have benefited from any flu vaccine under the sun BECAUSE THE PATIENTS DONT HAVE THE FLU. But the whistle isnt blown. Too much money and too many reputations are riding on ignoring the obvious truth. A patient walks into a doctors office. Hes sick. Hes coughing. He has a fever. His muscles ache. The doctor says, You have the flu. Did you get your flu shot this year? No, the patient says. The doctor gives him a stern look. Well, you should have. See? Youre sick now. The vaccine would have prevented that. Wrong. Again, even by conventional standards, the odds are very high the vaccine would have made no difference at all. Because the odds are very high this patient doesnt have an influenza virus. Overwhelmingly, doctors diagnose the flu with a casual eyeball glance. The patient has a familiar cluster of symptoms? Its flu season? Okay, its the flu. Period. With an ongoing blizzard of psyop-marketing, people accept flu and react emotionally to the propaganda about it. Another branch of that propaganda is delivered to frighten Americans into getting a flu shot: the CDC persistently claims that, every year in the US, 36,000 people die of the flu. Weve all read and heard that figure, over and over. Its a necessary statistic for the CDC. They need to promote it. They need to convince the population that seasonal flu is dangerous. The American people dont understand that its a lie, a grossly manufactured delusion that bears no resemblance to reality. In December of 2005, the British Medical Journal (online) published another shocking report by Peter Doshi, which spelled out the delusion, and created tremors throughout the halls of the CDC. Here is a quote from Doshis report: [According to CDC statistics], influenza and pneumonia took 62,034 lives in 200161,777 of which were attributable to pneumonia and 257 to flu, and in only 18 cases was the flu virus positively identified. You see, the CDC has created one category that combines flu and pneumonia deaths. Why do they do this? Because they disingenuously assume that the pneumonia deaths are complications stemming from the flu. This is an absurd assumption. Pneumonia has a number of causes. But even worse, in all the flu and pneumonia deaths, only 18 revealed the presence of an influenza virus. Therefore, the CDC could not say, with assurance, that more than 18 people died of influenza in 2001. Not 36,000 deaths. 18 deaths. Doshi continues his assessment of published CDC flu-death statistics: Between 1979 and 2001, [CDC] data show an average of 1348 [flu] deaths per year (range 257 to 3006). These figures refer to flu separated out from pneumonia. This death toll is obviously far lower than the parroted 36,000 figure. However, when you add the sensible condition that lab tests have to actually find the flu virus in patients, the numbers of flu deaths plummet even further. In other words, its all promotion and hype. Well, uh, we say that 36,000 people die from the flu every year in the US. But actually, its closer to 20. However, we cant admit that, because if we did, wed be exposing our gigantic psyop. The whole campaign to scare people into getting a flu shot would have about the same effect as warning people to carry iron umbrellas, in case toasters fall out of upper-story windowsand, by the way, wed be put in prison for fraud. In 2009, as the heralded Level 6 global pandemic, Swine Flu, was proving to be a bust and a trickle, Sharyl Attkisson (CBS News) discovered that the CDC had stopped counting the number of Swine Flu cases in America. The CDC had stopped counting, because their tests on diagnosed flu patients showed so many who didnt have the flu virus, who didnt have the flu at all. Atkissons reporting was explosive. It was threatening to expose the whole flu psyop. What would happen if it became common knowledge that most people diagnosed with the flu dont have the flu? What would happened to the campaigns to get people to take flu vaccines? What would happen if it became common knowledge that absurdly few people die from the flu? Attkisson was muzzled. And the CDC doubled down and suddenly claimed there were undoubtedly TENS OF MILLIONS cases of Swine Flu in the US. This, after only several thousand cases had been reported. This is on the order of saying a a dry creek-bed in the woods is actually the Mississippi River. Twisting words and numbers and painting false pictures is the CDCs job. Finally, remember that the CDC is organized under the Department of Health and Human Services, which is a cabinet post in the executive branch. So everything the CDC does, every pysop it launches and maintains, is ultimately at the pleasure of the president. The president may plead ignorance, he may plead many things. But in the chain of command, he is responsible for the vast crimes the CDC commits. In other words, if the whole flu psyop were broadly exposed, the scandal could travel all the up into the White House.

2	Crazy Welfare Queen Throws Baby Across Bus During Fight [VIDEO] This is absolutely outrageous, and this woman needs to see justice. In a new clip that has since gone viral, a young mother is shown on a bus getting into an altercation with a woman. Apparently, she felt that she was being disrespected in front of her child. Unfortunately, she decided to act on that feeling in one of the most shocking manners ever, throwing her child across the bus to engage in a fist fight. You heard that right. The footage captures the incident, which occurred on a Connecticut bus, and gives some insight into the two women arguing over a relationship a relative of the mother had with the other womans boyfriend. The audio is not entirely clear, but the dialogue goes something like this. If youre over it, why are you approach me on the bus? the young mother yells to the other woman. Someone grab my baby! she continues. Im going to beat the s*** out of you on this bus little girl. This b**** has disrespected me in front of my baby, man. Ill hit that b****. After 60 seconds of escalating verbal assault, the woman throws her child across the bus at another passenger and starts to get physical. Watch the interaction below and tell us what you think. Does this woman belong in jail? 
3	In Wake of US-Israeli Attack on Syria, UN Reveals Terrorists Not Government Used Sarin GasSo-called red line both drawn and then crossed by US-Saudi-Israeli axis and their terrorist proxies. The reasoning behind recent US-Israeli attacks on Syria has been undermined further as the UN reveals Western-backed terrorists, not the Syrian government, deployed sarin gas during the two-year conflict. Reuters reported in their article, U.N. has testimony that Syrian rebels used sarin gas: investigator, that: U.N. human rights investigators have gathered testimony from casualties of Syrias civil war and medical staff indicating that rebel forces have used the nerve agent sarin, one of the lead investigators said on Sunday. The United Nations independent commission of inquiry on Syria has not yet seen evidence of government forces having used chemical weapons, which are banned under international law, said commission member Carla Del Ponte. Our investigators have been in neighboring countries interviewing victims, doctors and field hospitals and, according to their report of last week which I have seen, there are strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof of the use of sarin gas, from the way the victims were treated, Del Ponte said in an interview with Swiss-Italian television. Why the Small Amounts of Sarin Cited by Washington, Riyadh, and Tel Aviv are a Set Up The small amounts of sarin gas reportedly used would defy any tactical or strategic sense had they been deployed by the Syrian government to tip the balance in the destructive 2-year conflict. According to the US militarys own assessments of chemical weapon use during the 1980s Iran-Iraq War, only under ideal conditions and with massive amounts of chemical agents can tactical and strategic outcomes be achieved and that conventional weapons were still, by far, superior to chemical weapons of any kind. The effectiveness and lethality of chemical weapons is summarized in the document as follows (emphasis added): Chemical weapons require quite particular weather and geographic conditions for optimum effectiveness. Given the relative nonpersistence of all agents employed during this war, including mustard, there was only a brief window of employment opportunity both daily and seasonally, when the agents could be used. Even though the Iraqis employed mustard agent in the rainy season and also in the marshes, its effectiveness was significantly reduced under those conditions. As the Iraqis learned to their chagrin, mustard is not a good agent to employ in the mountains, unless you own the high ground and your enemy is in the valleys. We are uncertain as to the relative effectiveness of nerve agents since those which were employed are by nature much less persistent than mustard. In order to gain killing concentrations of these agents, predawn attacks are best, conducted in areas where the morning breezes are likely to blow away from friendly positions. Chemical weapons have a low kill ratio. Just as in WWl, during which the ratio of deaths to injured from chemicals was 2-3 percent, that figure appears to be borne out again in this war although reliable data on casualties are very difficult to obtain. We deem it remarkable that the death rate should hold at such a low level even with the introduction of nerve agents. If those rates are correct, as they well may be, this further reinforces the position that we must not think of chemical weapons as a poor mans nuclear weapon. While such weapons have great psychological potential, they are not killers or destroyers on a scale with nuclear or biological weapons. Clearly, the minute amounts of sarin the West has accused the Syrian government of using, makes no tactical, political, or strategic sense. However, these small amounts of sarin gas, now suspected to be the work of Western-backed terrorists, would have been perfect for establishing a pretext for Western military intervention, and in fact, have been in part cited by the US and Israel in their latest, unprovoked aerial assault on Damascus. The terrorists operating in Syria possess the means and motivation to carry out such an operation, as do their Western sponsors. Where Did Western-backed Terrorists Obtain Sarin? A number of methods could have lent sarin gas to terrorists operating in Syria from Turkey, Israel, and the US simply handing select units the chemical agent in a clandestine operation, to Libyan terrorists confirmed to have been flooding into Syria for the past 2 years, bringing looted chemical stockpiles with them after NATOs disastrous invasion in 2011 left them in the hands of a sectarian extremist regime. Indeed, Libyas arsenal had fallen into the hands of sectarian extremists with NATO assistance in 2011 in the culmination of efforts to overthrow the North African nation . Since then, Libyas militants led by commanders of Al Qaedas Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) have armed sectarian extremists across the Arab World, from as far West as Mali, to as far East as Syria. Libyan LIFG terrorists are confirmed to be flooding into Syria from Libya. In November 2011, the Telegraph in their article, Leading Libyan Islamist met Free Syrian Army opposition group, would report: Abdulhakim Belhadj, head of the Tripoli Military Council and the former leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, met with Free Syrian Army leaders in Istanbul and on the border with Turkey, said a military official working with Mr Belhadj. Mustafa Abdul Jalil (the interim Libyan president) sent him there. Another Telegraph article, Libyas new rulers offer weapons to Syrian rebels, would admit Syrian rebels held secret talks with Libyas new authorities on Friday, aiming to secure weapons and money for their insurgency against President Bashar al-Assads regime, The Daily Telegraph has learned. Later that month, some 600 Libyan terrorists would be reported to have entered Syria to begin combat operations and have been flooding into the country ever since. Some Syrians are more frank about the assistance the Libyans are providing. They have heavier weapons than we do, notes Firas Tamim, who has traveled in rebel-controlled areas to keep tabs on foreign fighters. They brought these weapons to Syria, and they are being used on the front lines. Among the arms Tamim has seen are Russian-made surface-to-air missiles, known as the SAM 7. Libyan fighters largely brush off questions about weapon transfers, but in December they claimed they were doing just that. We are in the process of collecting arms in Libya, a Libyan fighter in Syria told the French daily Le Figaro. Once this is done, we will have to find a way to bring them here. Clearly NATO intervention in Libya has left a vast, devastating arsenal in the hands of sectarian extremists, led by US State Department, United Nations, and the UK Home Office (page 5, .pdf)-listed terrorist organization LIFG that is now exporting these weapons and militants to NATOs other front in Syria. It is confirmed that both Libyan terrorists and weapons are crossing the Turkish-Syrian border, with NATO assistance, and it is now clear that heavy weapons, including anti-aircraft weapons have crossed the border too. The Guardian reported in their November 2011 article, Libyan chemical weapons stockpiles intact, say inspectors, that: Libyas stockpiles of mustard gas and chemicals used to make weapons are intact and were not stolen during the uprising that toppled Muammar Gaddafi, weapons inspectors have said. But also reported that: The abandonment or disappearance of some Gaddafi-era weapons has prompted concerns that such firepower could erode regional security if it falls into the hands of Islamist militants or rebels active in north Africa. Some fear they could be used by Gaddafi loyalists to spread instability in Libya. Last month Human Rights Watch urged Libyas ruling national transitional council to take action over large numbers of heavy weapons, including surface-to-air missiles, it said were lying unguarded more than two months after Gaddafi was overthrown. On Wednesday the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, said the UN would send experts to Libya to help ensure nuclear material and chemical weapons did not fall into the wrong hands. And while inspectors claim that Libyas chemical weapons are in the governments hands and not extremists, it is clear by the Libyan governments own admission, that they themselves are involved in sending fighters and weapons into Syria to support NATO and Al Qaedas joint operation there. Furthermore, it is confirmed that the US had been providing select terrorist units training in the handling of chemical weapons. CNN had reported in December of 2012, in a report titled, 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. NATO not only ensured that chemical weapons in Libya remained in the hands of a proxy regime now openly arming, aiding, and sending fighters to assist terrorists in Syria, but also appears to have ensured these terrorists possessed the know-how on handling and using these weapons. Israel vs. Hezbollah Lie of Last Resort It appears that once again, those truly responsible for the most egregious atrocities and the crossing of red lines, are the very Western interests drawing these lines in the first place. The decision to shift attention away from the chemical weapons red line, and toward Israel and Hezbollah is a desperate ploy to extend the faltering viability of the Wests current operations in Syria. While Israel, with the help of the Western media, attempts to portray itself as reluctantly entering a war it has so far avoided, it has been documented since as early as 2007 that Israel, along with the US and Saudi Arabia were openly conspiring to overthrow the Syrian government via armed and funded Al Qaeda terrorists and an unprecedented sectarian bloodbath. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh in his 2007 New Yorker article, The Redirection, 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 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. Of Israel and Saudi Arabias partnership it specifically stated: The policy shift has brought Saudi Arabia and Israel into a new strategic embrace, largely because both countries see Iran as an existential threat. They have been involved in direct talks, and the Saudis, who believe that greater stability in Israel and Palestine will give Iran less leverage in the region, have become more involved in Arab-Israeli negotiations. Additionally, Saudi Arabian officials mentioned the careful balancing act their nation must play in order to conceal its role in supporting US-Israeli ambitions across the region. It was stated even then, that using Israel to publicly carry out attacks on Iran would be preferable to the US, which would ultimately implicate the Saudis. It was stated: The Saudi said that, in his countrys view, it was taking a political risk by joining the U.S. in challenging Iran: Bandar is already seen in the Arab world as being too close to the Bush Administration. We have two nightmares, the former diplomat told me. For Iran to acquire the bomb and for the United States to attack Iran. Id rather the Israelis bomb the Iranians, so we can blame them. If America does it, we will be blamed. This ploy was further developed in 2009 by the Fortune 500-funded (page 19) Brookings Institution in their document, Which Path to Persia? In regards to Iran, and now clearly being utilized against Syria, the gambit was described as follows (emphasis added): 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.) page 84-85, Which Path to Perisa?, Brookings Institution. And: Israel appears to have done extensive planning and practice for such a strike already, and its aircraft are probably already based as close to Iran as possible. as such, Israel might be able to launch the strike in a matter of weeks or even days, depending on what weather and intelligence conditions it felt it needed. Moreover, since Israel would have much less of a need (or even interest) in securing regional support for the operation, Jerusalem probably would feel less motivated to wait for an Iranian provocation before attacking. In short, Israel could move very fast to implement this option if both Israeli and American leaders wanted it to happen. However, as noted in the previous chapter, the airstrikes themselves are really just the start of this policy. Again, the Iranians would doubtless rebuild their nuclear sites. They would probably retaliate against Israel, and they might retaliate against the United States, too (which might create a pretext for American airstrikes or even an invasion).page 91, Which Path to Perisa?, Brookings Institution. It is unlikely the West possesses the political, economic, or even tactical ability to pursue a greater regional war against Syria and Iran. The aim of using Israel against Syria is to alleviate pressure on Western-backed terrorists, create tension and opposition within the Syrian government and military, and perhaps even crack fortress Damascus ahead of one final push by whatever remains of the so-called opposition. Brookings, in another report titled, Assessing Options for Regime Change, stated specifically that: In addition, Israels intelligence services have a strong knowledge of Syria, as well as assets within the Syrian regime that could be used to subvert the regimes power base and press for Asads removal. Israel could posture forces on or near the Golan Heights and, in so doing, might divert regime forces from suppressing the opposition. This posture may conjure fears in the Asad regime of a multi-front war, particularly if Turkey is willing to do the same on its border and if the Syrian opposition is being fed a steady diet of arms and training. Such a mobilization could perhaps persuade Syrias military leadership to oust Asad in order to preserve itself. Advocates argue this additional pressure could tip the balance against Asad inside Syria, if other forces were aligned properly. page 6, Assessing Options for Regime Change, Brookings Institution. Clearly, Israel has been involved in Western designs against Syria from the beginning. Its role has been intentionally kept subtle until now, specifically to exercise options of last resort. It is now up to Syria and its allies to ensure they both survive increasingly provocative assaults by the West, while both winning the political battle abroad and sweeping away the remnants of the Wests terrorist proxies at home.

3	The Fall of Mainstream Media: When Propaganda Fails, Humanity AwakensJeff Berwick On what did it report? Well, on itself, and how alarmed it is due to its own increasing irrelevance in the face of new sources of information. NYT is well-aware of the New Media, as a 96-page internal report, sent to top executives last month, makes clear. Obtained by Buzzfeed, the report paints a dark picture of a newsroom struggling more dramatically than is immediately visible to adjust to the digital world, a newsroom that is hampered primarily by its own storied culture. The report ignores its traditional mainstream (MSM) competitors and takes a closer look at new digital companies like First Look Media, Vox, Huffington Post, Business Insider and Buzzfeed. They are ahead of us in building impressive support systems for digital journalists, and that gap will grow unless we quickly improve our capabilities, the report states. Meanwhile, our journalism advantage is shrinking as more of these upstarts expand their newsrooms. We are not moving with enough urgency, it says. A central issue for NYT is a cadre of editors who remain unfamiliar with the web. Many desks lack editors who even know how to evaluate digital work, the report continues. But it is too late At the very least, thank you, NYT, for stating the truth even though it was an internal document not meant for the public. And, even if it was already painfully obvious. Still it took bravery for such a dinosaur to admit its own obsolescence. The papers model is obsolete, but even worse than the model has been the papers lackof interest in the truth. As the US empire has grown more out of control, more dangerous, and more insane, theNYThas functioned as a fourth branch of government, a gatekeeper for a totalitarian world a la 1984 or Brave New World. But the gig is up. The world knows NYTs complicity in erecting a sick and deranged world, and unless the paper breaks major news stories and outs itself as an undeniable friend of freedom, it will continue to lose revenue. No more canNYTexpect to serve the elite and its bottom line at the same time. In the age of the Internet, what David Rockefeller was once grateful for is no longer possible: We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty yearsIt would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries. Mainstream media is definitely dying, and this is a VERY good thing. The root of the word government combine as to control minds. The root of the word govern is control and the root of ment is mind. Without control over minds via the media, the government will lose all control. More young people now get their news from the Internet than television. In mere years most everybody will get their news from the Internet because nobody will trust the mainstream: This data shows that it is really only those over 65 years old who are still completely brainwashed. Not all, of course. But many or most. Newsweek (which I call Newspeak) has released its last print issue. Youll remember one of Newsweeks last attempts to be relevant again was uncovering the wrong Satoshi Nakamoto as the creator of bitcoin. They found some guy with the right name in the phone bookYou know, quality journalism Clearly the only valuable part of MSM media sites is in the comments section which debunks 90% of the articles published. Popular Science was so overwhelmed by people bringing facts into many of their articles that the site shut off its comments section. CNNs viewership is at a record-low (the network recently laid off 40 journalists), while CNBC has suffered a viewership collapse as well. But once Larry King said that CNN would be better off showing re-runs of Spongebob Squarepants 24 hours a day, you knew it was over Larry King left CNN because he knew it would collapse. He left CNN for the Russian government propaganda channel, RT, because it is more respected and features more truth about the West. Twenty years ago, this would be have been unheard of for Larry King! A career-ender! Not todayNope. Today it is a respect-earner. Oh, how things have changed THE NEW MEDIA TAKEOVER The New Media has taken over. Alex Jones is almost a household name and groups like Luke Rudkowskis We Are Change have revolutionized how people get information. (Editors Note: We Are Change offers Change Media University to learn how to become a real investigative journalist that we highly recommend. Forget traditional school). For years now the most popular MSM personalities, like Glenn Beck, have followed the playbook of new media personalities in a bid to remain relevant. Now, in order to remain relevant people like Glenn Beck need to quote or interview people in the alternative media. It was not all that long ago that John Kerry and Zbigniew Brzezinski said that the Internet, simply put, is making it hard for them to govern. Secretary of Statism, John Kerry, before a group of State Department workerstold the audience that the world has been complicated by this little thing called the Internet and the ability of people everywhere to communicate instantaneously and to have more information coming at them in one day than most people can process in months or a year. Z-Big echoed his sentiment, saying that public access to information stopped war with Syria. Bill Clinton, laughingly even suggested the need for a Ministry of Truth over the Internet, run by the US federal government, that would censor anything it did not deem to be truth.

3	Stop TTIP: Thousands of Activists Gather in Germany to Protest Corporate Trade DealDerrick Broze selfnewss gathered across Germany on Saturday to protest the upcoming trade deal between Europe and the United States. Critics fear the deal will erode sovereignty and endanger multiple industries, including health and technology. Supporters of the deal say it would bring $100 billion annually for both sides of the deal. Reuters reports that, a recent YouGov poll showed that 43 percent of Germans believe TTIP would be bad for the country, compared to 26 percent who see it as positive. Around 1,500 activists formed a human chain in Berlin; from the Potsdamer Platz square, past the U.S. embassy and through the Brandenburg Gate to offices of the European Commission. Organizers in Munich estimated a crowd of 15,000 showed up for the marches. Hundreds more marched in Germany and across Europe for a global day of action against the TTIP. Protesters said they were worried about surveillance, Internet freedom, and genetically engineered foods creeping into the EU. TheTTIP is the European version of an equally contentious agreement known as theTrans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The TPP has faced waves of resistance over the last several years. Even still, it seems like the agreement will pass. As reported by Common Dreams: U.S. House and Senate leaders announced Thursday afternoon that they have reached a deal on legislation aimed at jamming the Trans Pacific Partnership through Congress. The so-called Fast Track bill (The Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities and Accountability Act of 2015, TPA-2015), which would make it easier for President Barack Obamas administration to negotiate trade deals by preventing Congress from amending them, includes compromise provisions added in order to win over Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee. The legislation is expected to pass the Senate Finance Committee and land on the Senate floor next week. The House Ways and Means Committee will formally draft its version of the bill next week. Much like free-trade agreements of the past, the TPP will give corporate entities more power to evade accountability within the nations they do business. Make no mistake, the TPP and TTIP are part of the continued takeover of the world by the Corporate-State complex. What will it take for the people of the world to hear the cries of those who have awoken to the dangers within the TPP and the TTIP? The time nears for the awakened to take to the streets to educate our brothers and sisters about the dangers that these trade deals represent. They do not represent the ideas of freedom and prosperity supported by most free people of the world. Rather, these agreements are simply the latest in a long line of wolves in sheeps clothing sold to the ignorant (but waking masses). Lets take inspiration from our friends in Germany. Lets take to the streets and let the powers-that-wish-they-were know that we are paying attention and we are longer going to stand up quietly. RISE UP. 
1	KANKAKEE, ILLocal citizens are abuzz with the news that a local Angus beef hamburger will be featured in a national Weber gas-grill TV commercial that begins airing Monday. 'We are all just so proud,' Kankakee Mayor Donald Green said of the burger, which appears seated on a seeded bun and dressed with ketchup, pickles, lettuce, and a slice of tomato. 'We've had some great sandwiches in this town, but none have gotten this kind of recognition. All of us who knew the burger had a hunch it was going to go on to great things.' According to Green, the burger's talent agent is currently negotiating details for the burger's inclusion in a diner scene in an upcoming Will Ferrell movie.

2	VIDEO: Rambo Grandma Takes Out Thugs After Being Shot 4 Times After getting off of work on a double shift, Paris Ainsworth returned home to quite a surprise. When she pulled into her driveway, she saw two men approaching her. Instinctually, she grabbed her .45 caliber pistol and put it in her pocket. Then, one of the men fired at her, shooting her four times. The 51-year-old woman pulled out her gun and fought back, wounding both of the attackers. If I wouldnt have had my gun, I would be dead today, she told reporters. Luckily, Ainsworth did have her own gun that day. After being attacked nearly a year ago, she decided that she would never be caught off guard again. In the recent attack, both men were apprehended after going to the same hotel. Critics of this elderly woman are now discussing the possibility of this being a hate crime, being that she is an old white woman, and her attackers were both African American. Do you think that this was a hate crime? Let us know in the comments below.

'I stopped and had a sandwich, then, before I knew it, I was perusing the shelf of anal videos at the Island. Weird.' Steevers said he's 'ended up' at Pleasure Island about twice a week for the past four years. 
2	Joel Osteen Thinks The Obamas Are Doing A Good Job Its always disappointing when someone you have long respected turns out be absolutely clueless when it comes to the type of leader American needs. Such was the case when Larry King recently interviewed Joel and Victoria Osteen on CNN. One of the questions King asked was about President Obama and how he is doing in the White House so far. Well, I think hes doing a great job, Joel answered. I am impressed of his skills, calmness, strength under pressurethese are tough times for him, hes got a lot on his plate. Ive been impressed, he concluded. King then turned to Victoria, as viewers watched in disbelief. I am really impressed and I am impressed of the First Lady, she added. She stepped up and she has done a remarkable job under the situation they have been granted. What do you think of the Osteens comments? Are you disappointed? 
2	Obama Is Using Veto Power To Reject THIS Bill Relating To Syrian Refugees Congress has been planning to write up a proposal that would bring Syrian Refugees under extreme scrutiny. They are finally taking action against Obama. After hearing of this, Obama has announced that if a bill passes his desk demanding thorough examination of Syrian Refugees, he will veto it. Obama is giving up no ground. There is no reason that the Syrian Refugees shouldnt be looked at more closely. In fact, they should be denied access to the US all together. Obama is taking the US down with him. Congress needs to take action before its too late. Should Obama be impeached for trying to take down America? 
2	The Reason Why Obama Ordered That The Empire State Building Be Lit Up Green Will Make You SICK Just says after the Chattanooga mass-murder, the Empire State Building was lit up to celebrate the Muslim holiday Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan. The display was a controversial one more many reasons. First, the Empire State building has been an American landmark. Secondly, the holiday celebrates a devotion to Allahthe very devotion that drives Islamic extremists to engage in acts of terror. In fact, during this holy month, 2,988 people died violently. That doesnt sound like something that should be celebrated. Some liberals argue that the building is lit up for Christmas, Easter and Hanukkah, and that this celebration is equivalent. Conservatives, however, maintain that were living in a dangerous time where people are slaughtering and mass murdering innocent people in the name of Allah. What do you think? Would it have been more appropriate for the building to be lit in red, white, and blue to honor the Marines who lost their lives in the attack? 
1	SPOKANE, WAAlthough he's willing to put up with a hell of a lot, coffee-shop employee Jason Bowen said Tuesday that dealing with endless amounts of Dave's shit isn't part of his job description. 'I'm sorry, but I didn't come to the Second Cup just so [store manager] Dave [Shaw] could use me as his personal slave,' Bowen said. 'Nothing in the employee handbook says I have to stay until midnight cleaning the cappuccino machines, just because he has to go argue with his fucking girlfriend.' Bowen added that he was hired as a barista, and maintenance work is so not what he's paid to do. 
2	Trump Issues HUGE Demand To Muslims... Conservatives Thrilled, Liberals FURIOUS In an interview with the United Kingdoms ITV, Donald Trump urged Muslims to turn in other Muslims they suspected of terrorist ties, claiming that it would be the best way to build trust between the West and Islam. His comments came shortly after British Prime Minister David Cameron and new London Mayor Sadiq Khan criticized his proposal of a temporary ban on Muslim immigration. Cameron called Trumps remarks stupid, divisive, and wrong. Still, Trump has no intention of backing down. It got people thinking, Trump commented. Whether its good for me or bad for me, I dont really care. Trump says that one of the major issues at hand is that the West is ignoring the problem. If you look at it worldwide, the world is blowing up, he continued. And its not people from Sweden thats doing the damage, OK? We have a real problem and we need to discuss it. He concluded that Muslims need to assist in the fight against terror. They have to work with the police, he commented. Theyre not turning them in. If theyre not playing ball, its not going to work out. Still, the businessman maintains that he is not anti-Muslim, just anti-terror. He also maintains that the majority of the people in Great Britain agree with him. 
3	Cops Cross Thin Blue Line, Leak Info Showing Racist Officers Planted Drugs Guns on 1,000 Black MenBy Justin Gardner All of the cops were members of a racist Neoconfederate organization. Many of those involved have been promoted and now hold high positions in law enforcement, with two attending the FBI academy and one holding a position as adjunct professor at Troy Universitys Criminal Justice Program. While the corrupt cops advanced their careers, the victims of their scheme were sentenced to prison and some still languish there today. It is believed that over 1,000 men were wrongfully convicted from planted drugs and weapons, while the district attorneys office raked in millions of dollars from court fees and the pre-trial diversion program. In 1998, several honorable officers in the Dothan PD witnessed their colleagues criminal behavior and tried to expose them, managing to initiate an internal investigation. However, the investigation was covered up by superiors and the district attorney. Since that time, awareness of police brutality and corruption has grown exponentially, and the whistleblowers believe there is now a better chance at serving justice and freeing those wrongfully imprisoned. According to the Henry County Report, The group of officers requested they be granted anonymity, and shared hundreds of files from the Internal Affairs Division. They reveal a pattern of criminal behavior from within the highest levels of the Dothan Police Department and the district attorneys office in the 20th Judicial District of Alabama. Multiple current and former officers have agreed to testify if United States Attorney General Loretta Lynch appoints a special prosecutor from outside the state of Alabama, or before a Congressional hearing. The officers believe that there are currently nearly a thousand wrongful convictions resulting in felonies from the 20th Judicial District that are tied to planted drugs and weapons and question whether a system that allows this can be allowed to continue to operate. A letter detailing the criminal behavior was put on the desk of Dothan City Commissioner Don Clement, and the incriminating documents are being shared with attorneys at the US Justice Departments Civil Rights Division. Several officers have agreed to testify if the attorney general appoints a special prosecutor or if a Congressional hearing is initiated. Notable names in the cabal of criminal cops include Michael Magrino, now an investigator for Alabamas Indigent Defense Fund, Carlton Bubba Ott, now commander of the criminal investigation division, Steve Parrish, current chief of the Dothan PD, and Andy Hughes, current director of Homeland Security for Alabama. Magrino alone is responsible for at least 50 questionable prosecutions. The others listed above were aware of the internal investigation finding clear evidence of criminal wrongdoing, but worked to hide the findings. Whats more, they forced out those in the department who tried to speak out about what was happening. John White, police chief at the time, told senior officers to ignore complaints from black victims that drugs and weapons were being planted. District Attorney Doug Valeska ignored allegations by other officers that evidence was planted and kept the information from defense attorneys. Each of these instances is considered a felony. Internal Affairs Sergeant, Keith Gray, recommended that Magrino be immediately discharged and prosecuted, all of his previous cases reopened for investigation, and the judges and attorneys of those convicted be immediately notified. Gray believed there were hundreds of false arrests in the system by the group of officers, historically over a thousand. However, at this point, our sources and the documents confirm the investigation was shut down, and the files ordered buried by Police Chief, John White, and District Attorney, Doug Valeska. According to department and state policy, federal law enforcement authorities should have been notified of the results of the internal investigation, but that never happened. Instead, the planting of drugs and guns on innocent victims continued for years. Chief John White has issued a series of false statements over the years which should have gotten him prosecuted. He repeated a lie in a recent letter sent to Dothan City Manager Jerry Gwaltney, saying At no time previous, during or since, has any individual made an allegation that this officer planted or manufactured evidence or testimony in any case. The disturbing actions of these criminal cops and their superiors shows how morally bankrupt humans can use the power of the state to destroy the lives of innocent people. But the news is made a little less painful by the noble actions of other cops, who cannot stand by as this kind of abuse goes on. Now we can only hope that justice is brought to those deserving, and that freedom is given to those still suffering in jail.

Investigating (not hard folks, follow the links)The Alabama Justice Project is the brainchild of a photojournalist by the name of Jon B Caroll who self-publishes something called the Herny County Report. AJP was incorprated in Deleware in 2014 but I cannot find it in the 501 registry. The article is his linking his sister sites as the sources. The internet is full of parroting reports such as the one above, but as yet I find no independent confirmation of the allegations. According to Dotan Police Chief Steven Parrish, the allegations of the blogger (Jon Caroll) are untrue, reporting that (and through independent inquiry) the last incident of misconduct of this nature occured in the 1990s involving the mishandling of evidence one incident, which was dealt with at the time (the officer involved no longer in the employment of Dothan PD.

1	Despite having never before given the topic a moment's thought, maintenance mechanic Ron Krueger, 46, aggressively defended his home state of Pennsylvania's license plate design Monday after a coworker's negative comment. 'The horizontal bands of blue, white, and yellow are not only bold, but they're the perfect color combination,' Krueger said in defense of the piece of aluminum. 'Also, it's ridiculous for you to not like the font. Check out the stupid frilly letters on your license plate; they look terrible. State names should always be in caps. Always.' Krueger was later surprised at how angry he became when a coworker complained that it took a long time to drive across Pennsylvania. 
2	Ann Coulter Compares Obama To A Monkey on Live TV [VIDEO] These days, it seems you have to tiptoe around your words or risk being called a racist or a bigot. Unfortunately for Ann Coulter, she is learning this the hard way after calling Obama a monkey on live TV the other day. The clip, which has now gone viral, was part of an appearance Coulter made on Hannity recently. She was intent on criticizing Obama for his failed leadership as it pertains to Syria. Hannity called Obama confused and wimpy. Coulter was even harsher; claiming that she believes Vladimir Putin has mad Obama into a monkey on Syria. Liberals were quick to highlight the comment and use it to negate Coulter, calling her a racist. But supporters of Coulter argue that the clip is simply being taken out of context. What do you think of the comment? Watch the video below and share your thoughts with us. 
1	Michael Timm, a towering figure in the cloistered world of professional boxing trainers, admitted Wednesday that, through a series of mistakes, he had trained up-and-coming bantamweight Royce Hamanolosa (14-1) to be a racehorse. 'I guess I was concentrating on speed work too much I had him running half-miles for a month and working the speed bag, then three-eighths of a mile on grass and working a nose bag, then galloping a mile every other day before being curry-combed,' Timm told reporters. 'I take full responsibility, and I thank God that someone realized what was happening just before Royce broke his leg.' Hamanalosa forgave Timm for his errors, saying that in many ways he was 'in the best shape of his life' and that his victory at Santa Anita now allowed him to demand a six-figure stud fee. 
2	The Great State Of Texas Takes MASSIVE Stand Against Illegals Crossing The Border Texas is perhaps the state most famous for refusing to give in to President Obamas agenda. Republican Governor Greg Abbott has repeatedly been a thorn in Obamas side, proving time and time again that he wont let his state be pushed around. Recently, Abbott claimed that Texas will not sit idle while thousands of illegal aliens cross the border from Central America into Texas. This is not the first time Abbott is speaking out. He has been very vocal in his accusations that President Barack Obama is not doing enough to protect the border between Texas and Mexico. On Tuesday, Abbott ordered the Texas National Guard troops to remain at the Mexico border for an unspecified amount of time. We will not be victimized as a state by a federal governments apathetic response to border security, Abbott continued. According to U.S. Border Patrol, more than 10,000 unaccompanied children have crossed the border in the past two months. What do you think? Do you support Texas in taking a stand? 
2	BREAKING: Assassination Plot On Obama Exposed According to recent claims from David Chase Taylor, a known conspiracy theorist and writer for Truther.org, a death threat has been made against President Obama. Taylor claims that several missions have already been made and have resulted in emergency responses by the Secret Service. We all know that Obama tends to make last minute travel plans, and Taylor claims that when Obama visits New York next week, it will mark the 16th state in the past 100 days. That amount of travel is unprecedented in any previous presidency. Taylor argues that the spontaneous travel leaves little time for proper security measures, and the Secret Service have often been left unable to secure locations before the President arrives. Taylor notes that this gives terrorists the perfect time for an attack. It should be noted that Taylor then goes on a twisted tangent, attempting to link unrelated events. What do you think? Is Obama in danger of being attacked? 
1	Recently deployed to participate in counterinsurgency operations outside of Kabul, 19-year-old Pvt. Robert Welsh told reporters Monday that for as long as he can remember, he has wanted to serve his country by fighting in Afghanistan. 'My most vivid childhood memories are of seeing the war on TV and imagining one day I'd be able to grow up and come over here to fight for my country,' said Welsh, who has followed the U.S. struggle against the Taliban for more than half his life and once spent recesses at school make-believing he and his fellow third-graders were fighting the war on terror. 'I honestly never thought I'd get the chance to participate all these years later, but here I am.' Welsh went on to say that while he doesn't want to get his hopes up, he remains cautiously optimistic that his own children will one day follow in his footsteps by fighting in Afghanistan. 
2	THIS One Quarter Is Worth 1,000 Times Its Original Value. Check Your Change Drawer! Its wild to think about how much loose change you have lying around in your house. In between couch cushions, in jars, in pockets of unused pants. You might have fifty, maybe a hundred bucks in coins! Whats even crazier is to think that you might very well have a coin in there thats worth 1,000 times what it was originally for! The next time youre looking through your old quarters, you might want to keep an eye out. This quarter is worth more than its 25 cent regular value. As it turns out, a Kansas pressing machine that was minting coins had a grease smudge when it was pressing coins in 2004. The quarter, a 2004 Wisconsin quarter, contains a small irregularity that coin-collectors now want in their collection. Take a look. Its small, but noticeable, and that can make the 25-cent coin worth more than $300. So the next time youre sifting through quarters, take a glance and see if it happens to be a 2004 Wisconsin. Cause you might just be $300 richer! 
2	Vet Sees Protestors Stomping On U.S. Flag So He Does Something AMAZING [VIDEO] According to recent reports, a Vietnam War veteran was just charged with disorderly conduct after throwing his coffee at a Westboro Baptist Church protestor who had the nerve to attend Beau Bidens funeral. Richard Pierce was at the site to counter-protest when he notices the Westboro member dragging an American flag on the ground. I dont care who you are, youre not gonna disrespect the flag, and if I have to go to jail to defend our flag, Im gonna do it, Pierce told reporters. Still, he admits that if given the chance, he may have taken another course of action. Pierce spent six hours in jail for his actions. He then appeared in front of a judge who released him with a July 20 court day. What do you think? Did the protestor have it coming?

1	Saying theyre trying to tighten their belts where they can and cut back on costly erotica expenses, local couple Christopher and Ellen Landstrom told reporters Friday they have been able to save money by making their own porn at home. When we sat down and did the math on our annual subscription to VividVideo.com and regular trips to Toms Adult Emporium, we realized just how much we could save if we shot our own hardcore scenes ourselves, said Christopher Landstrom, who estimates the couple has been able to trim costs by at least $80 a month by filming vaginal intercourse, cunnilingus, and facial ejaculations in their living room. Some of our friends thought we were being way too thrifty, but it hasnt even felt like that big of a sacrifice. When I think of all the money were saving by staying in on weekends and fisting each other in front of the camcorder, it just makes sense. The couple admitted they have been able to reduce their household budget even further by sewing their own cheerleader costumes and inviting Ellens twin sister Lisa to join them every once in a while.

1	Misinterpreting a bartender's raised eyebrow as an unspoken question, Kenny's Bar patron Neil Plottman delivered a long, convoluted explanation Wednesday as to why he ordered a Rolling Rock beer. 'Well, when I was in college in Philly, me and my friend used to drink this all the time,' Plottman said. 'Plus there's the whole supporting-local-businesses thing, and the cool '33' on the label there, which not a lot of people know is a Masonic thing. Not a bad beer, once you get used to it.' Plottman then ruined a game of darts by explaining to the uninterested players what he would drink if Rolling Rock wasn't available and why he had to drink beer out of a mug instead of a pilsner glass. 
2	Trump Makes Suggestion For Vice President After Iowa Caucus, Its The LAST Person Youd Think... Donald Trump has gone through many rough patches with many people, and it seems that his choices in Vice President have become limited. Surprisingly, Trump suggested in an interview that he wouldnt mind Ted Cruz as his partner in the White House. This was AFTER the Iowa Caucus. Before the Caucus, Trump fired several shots at Cruz, saying that nobody likes him and that he is a nasty guy. He even accused Cruz as not being eligible to be president because he is Canadian. In an interview, Trump was asked about whether hed like Cruz as his Vice President. Well, I dont know. Look, I have nothing against him. It was sort of a sad thing that happened, but Ive always liked him, Trump told Hugh Hewitt. He then said that theyve always gotten along well but that hes so much now focused on New Hampshire. We dont know whether to think Trump is erratic or telling a white lie. Either way, it seems a little suspicious. Do you think Trump is being genuine?

1	In an effort to provide much-needed psychotherapy services and professional support to local Chicago communities, the NFL officially unveiled a new counseling center Thursday for Bears fans struggling to cope with devastating blowouts. With this new facility, which is open 24 hours a day, fans will be able to come in and talk through feelings of severe depression, anxiety, grief, anger, and hopelessness with our highly trained staff in a supportive, confidential setting, said NFL spokesman Greg Aiello, noting that patients have the option of speaking to therapists one-on-one or joining a group session to help them come to terms with a disastrous Bears performance. Of course, the center is not just for those suffering in the immediate aftermath of a particularly difficult or traumatic loss. Patients may also receive care when the team is mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, the front office offers a new contract to an underperforming player, or any other such issue arises within the Bears organization that causes significant emotional pain and mental anguish. Our message to depressed or suicidal Bears fans is clear: You are not alone, and help is here. Aiello went on to say that while the NFL chose to place its flagship counseling center in the city of greatest need, plans are in place to soon open similar facilities in Jacksonville, Oakland, and Tampa Bay. 
2	Obama Admin Shut Down Investigation That Could Have Preventing San Bernardino Shooting According to recent reports, Homeland Security just exposed a massive San Bernardino cover up that has some serious implications. In a recent interview with Megyn Kelly, Philip Haney confessed that as part of his investigation, he was tasked with looking into a collection of global networks that were infiltrating radical Islamists into the U.S. Just one year into the investigation, Haney got a visit from the State Department and the Homeland Security Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. They were reportedly concerned about tracking these groups because they were Islamic. Incidentally, his investigation was shut down and more than 60 of his records were deleted. Included in those investigations was an organization with ties to the mosque that Syed Farook of San Bernardino later attended. Now, Haney is sure that his investigations would have made all the difference. Either Syed would have been put on the no-fly list because association with that mosque, and/or the K-1 visa that his wife was given may have been denied because of his association with a known organization, Haney explained. Watch the full interview below and tell us what you think: 
2	SNL Celebrities Mock Democratic Candidates In This HILARIOUS Video Saturday Night Live made a democratic debate edition where they repeatedly took shots at Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. The shows cold open saw most of the laughs directed at Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, while the other candidates struggled for attention. Hillary provided comedic gold, while Larry David portrayed Democratic socialist Sanders as a buffoon. Both were easy marks. Thats why you have to break the banks up into little pieces, and then flush the pieces down the toilet so that you can never put the banks back together, David said in one line. Then you just make the bankers pay for college for everyone, and Americas fixed! Kate McKinnon as Clinton lamented that In 2008 of course I lost because I was running against a cool black guy. But this year I thought I got to be the cool black guy. Watching the whole video is definitely worth your time. Its the funniest thing weve seen in a while. 
3	Voices From the Gulf: We Are Being Poisoned (Pt. 3)Dave Hodges The most isolated group from which we can measure health effects in the Gulf are the cleanup workers. Oil is deadly and Corexit is deadlier; and when the two products are combined, it is a lethal cocktail as the mixture becomes up to 52 times more toxic than oil alone. At one time, the EPA told BP to not use Corexit because it knew the deadly consequences. BP gave the EPA the big middle finger and showed the federal government who was really in charge. Kim Andersons Oregon State University (OSU) team of researchers, from the OSU College of Agricultural Sciences, began a test-retest comparative analysis for the carcinogenic contaminant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and its biodegradable partner, OPAHs, which appears after the application of Corexit and subsequent exposure to ultraviolet rays. Stunningly, the OSU researchers found a 40 fold increase in these carcinogenic compounds in the comparative test-retest period.The omnipresent dangers to Gulf Coast residents is self-evident in light of this research. It is noteworthy that the OSU researchers had the first draft of their report stolen before the results could be published. Award winning chemist, Dr. Wilma Subra, conducted blood tests on Gulf Coast residents who were symptomatic with new illnesses and found that some of the cancer-causing agents were 65 times the expected level in the victims blood tests. Subra noted that Corexit is in the air, the water and the Gulf residents blood. Theres a whole population thats very sick and doesnt have access to medical care, and thats what weve been trying to work on now, from the very beginning, is getting them medical care so they will get better, says Subra. How many people do you think were talking about, do we have any guess? Hundreds of thousands along the whole coastal area, Subra says. Hundreds of thousands of people? That are sick, yes. It also is likely that the BP cleanup workers are going to suffer the same fate. Listen to what Dr. Wilma Subra had to say about the health of this group. These findings can leave little doubt that BPs use of Corexit has seriously compromised the collective life span of Gulf Coast residents. This is a staggering implication for the collective longevity in the Gulf. If we are talking about hundreds of thousands of sick Gulf Coast residents, what does that say for the eventual mortality rate since illnesses resulting from exposure to oil and Corexit could take decades to fully manifest? For if we are talking about a life expectancy which is only 75% of expected, what does that say about the mortality rate for people along the coast? What about children who are exposed at such a young age? What will be their life expectancy? Unfortunately, we will not conclusively know the answers to these question for about 50-60 years. Meanwhile, the spillionaires who perpetrated this event, have literally and figuratively gotten away with murder. BPs oil spill-fighting dispersant of choice is Corexit 9500. It has been banned in Europe and a total of 19 countries for good reason. Corexit 9500 is one of the most environmentally toxic chemical dispersants ever created to battle an oil spill. Add to that the millions of gallons of oil that have been burned, releasing even more toxins into the atmosphere, and you have a recipe for something much worse than acid rain. Speaking of acid raid, this is exactly what has been discovered in North Carolina and in the Memphisarea where crops were being destroyed from acid rain laced with Corexit. Why doesnt anyone ask why BP insisted on Corexit as the dispersant of choice? Well, Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! did ask the question of former EPA official, Hugh Kaufman. The most damning account of the Corexit dangers posed to the Gulf comes from Hugh Kaufman, senior policy analyst at the EPAs Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response as he stated onDemocracy Now!that In light of the EPAs data, BPs decision to use Corexit 9500 and 9527 was based solely upon an attempt to profit on the clean-up and not carry out BPs expressed desire to clean up the Gulf Coast environmentthese dispersants were used in massive quantities, to hide the magnitude of the spill and save BP moneyBoth EPA, NOAA, etc, have been sock puppets for BP in this cover-up. Now, by hiding the amount of spill, BP is saving hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars in finesPeople who work near it (the dispersants) are hemorrhaging internally. EPA now is taking the position that they really dont know how dangerous it is, even though if you read the label, it tells you how dangerous it is. And, for example, in the Exxon Valdez case, people who worked with dispersants, most of them are deadThe average death age is around fifty. Its very dangerousits an economic protector of BP, not an environmental protector of the public. I think the media now has to follow the money and tell the American people whos getting money for poisoning millions of people in the Gulf. I did the ombudsman investigation on Ground Zero, where EPA made false statements about the safety of the air, which has been proven to be false. Consequently, you have the heroes, the workers there, a large percentage of them are sick right now, not even ten years later, and most of them will die early because of respiratory problems, cancer, etc., because of EPAs false statements. And youve got the same thing going on in the Gulf ,EPA administrators saying the same thing that the air and the water is safe. This is the major contributing factor on why hundreds of thousands of Gulf Coast residents are sick and why it is likely over time, that millions will die premature and painful deaths just like the clean up crews from the Exxon-Valdez oil spill. In a later installment of this series, I will be answering Mr. Kaufmans question on who made money on the Gulf oil spill. A Growing Menace It is not just the Gulf that needs to worry. The Gulf is still leaking oil and Corexit is still being covertly sprayed, most at night and by unmanned planes and there is growing evidence that the damage may be permanent due to a hole created in the ocean floor by the initial explosion. Disturbingly, the Corexit laced toxic rain may be a fixture in the transpiration cycle. This means that Corexit could be falling from skies in a variety of locations far away from the Gulf. When one pours more than two million gallons of toxic chemical dispersants on top of an oil spill, it doesnt just disappear. In this case, it moves to the atmosphere, where it will travel hundreds, if not thousands of miles from the site of the BP oil spill, in the form of toxic rain. And when the rain falls to earth on grass consumed by cows, the damage to the food chain moves beyond the fish in the ocean as dairy and beef are now contaminated. As with Fukushima, we are all affected. We have before us a defining moment in American history. An entire region of the country, populated by 40 million people, has been plagued by a man made environmental catastrophe for which the effects will be felt for generations to come. And just when it seems like it cannot get any worse, there is now clear evidence that the event has impacted the entire food chain. Therefore, it is not just the residents of the Gulf that are endangered, anyone who eats seafood is also at risk. This is the topic of Part Four.

3	Exxon Hates Your Free Speech, Tries to Censor Satirical AdCorynne McSherry In the wake of a major pipeline spill in Mayflower, Arkansas, Exxon has launched a dirty tricks campaign to prevent Little Rock television stations from running a political ad titled, Exxon Hates Your Children. The ad, which can be viewed atexxonhatesyourchildren.com, makes an obviously over-the-top assertion about the companys views about children, in order to call attention to the creators serious concerns about the companys policies. To try to keep it off the air, Exxon is circulating a memo to television stations claiming that the commercial is defamatory toward each of ExxonMobils 80,000 employees and their families. Exxon goes on to describe good things the company does for children and the environment. The ads, which were paid for through crowdfunding, were scheduled to run on local ABC, NBC, and Fox stations this week, but were taken off the schedule when the stations got the memo. In February, Exxon pulled the same stunt when Comcast was set to air the ad during the presidents State of the Union address. What Exxon should not doand what the television stations should not help them dois use ill-defined and improper legal threats to silence legitimate political speech. The stations should let the ad run and, if Exxon chooses to create its own ad, run that too. The good news is that Exxon is already experiencing the Streisand Effect. Word to Exxon: these days, trying to silence your critics is not only wrong, it inevitably backfires. Files linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	Americas Cutest Couple Tells HUGE Secrets That Will Make You Rethink Everything Chip and Joanna are just plain amazing. They are Americas sweethearts and HGTV super stars. They have been working side by side for years but they just told everyone that they were working together before they were dating. Joanna was immediately interested in flipping homes and of course Chip did not shy away from showing her a thing or two. They told Glamour that they made it into a game to see who could design the home they were flipping better. The two of them did not meet in a normal setting. They actually met at Joannas Dads auto shop. Chip had break problems and needed them checked. As he was waiting in the lobby the beautiful Joanna came in. Chip was immediately engaging and the couple hit it off and has not skipped a beat since. Chip claims that he saw a photo of Joanna before she came into the store and that moment he knew she would be his. Their HGTV show did not come from them marketing themselves. A production company actually just ran across photos of the couples renovation skills. The production company then gave them their big start and the rest is history. Interesting fact about this couple is that they do not own a TV even though they are huge TV stars. It started as another game to see how long they could last without one and it just grew on them. Are you as in love with this couple as I am? 
2	Al Sharpton Meets His Fait After Trying To Smear Donald Trump... His Career Is Over Al Sharpton likes to think of himself of a civil rights leader, but to the rest of us, he remains a manipulative criminal. Its clear the Reverend will never turn down an opportunity to be in the news or hear his own voiceeven if its to the detriment of this country. Just take a look at what he did in the wake of Donald Trumps election victory. Sharpton immediately tried to turn our nations election results into an affront to African-Americans. He disrespected our future president by calling him a racist and a bigot. Funnywe couldnt have picked two more perfect words to describe Sharpton himself. Recently surfaced footage showing Sharpton addressing a crowd at Kean College in New Jersey in 1992 shows just how hypocritical he really is. In the video, Sharpton lectures the crowd about police brutalitycalling for violence against law enforcement. Watch as he calls the crowd out for not following through on their promise to off officers. Oh really, I dont believe in marching, I believe in offing the pigs, Sharpton commented. Well, they got pigs out here. You aint offed one of them. What I believe in I do. Do what you believe in. Its no wonder that Sharpton doesnt like Trump, who has promised repeatedly to protect the lives of our nations law enforcement. What do you think? Is Sharpton the real problem here?

2	BREAKING: Multiple Arrests ROCK The Hillary Campaign Right Before The Election A week ago on Friday, FBI Director James Comey announced that he was reopening the investigation into Hillary Clintons use of a personal email server during her time as Secretary of State. Now, more information has been released about the conservations Comey had with his agents prior to the public announcement. According to reports, Comey issued an all hands on deck order to his agents, telling them to prepare for top raids and arrests in regards to the Clinton investigation. One source also said Comey ordered every available agent in Washington D.C. area to report to the Hoover Building. Were preparing for many arrests from the top down, the FBI source told True Pundit. I cannot elaborate beyond that. Based on case protocol, the FBI is either preparing to conduct sweeping search warrants in the Clinton Foundation investigation or ready to start arresting suspects, True Pundit wrote. Or both. If a grand jury has been convened by the Justice Department since Comeys decision to re-open the Hillary Clinton case last week, then the FBI could make arrests if indictments were handed down by Thursday (yesterday). If not, it is more likely FBI agents are being amassed for multiple simultaneous raids on suspects homes and businesses to secure warrant-backed evidence. What do you think? Is Clinton going down once and for all?

Though polls show Trump as the frontrunner in the race for the GOP nomination, some are accusing him of saying anything to shake up Republicans. Now, a video released 27 years ago shows that Trump has always voiced his opinions this way. Id make our allies pay their fair share. Were a debtor nation, Trump stated in a 1988 interview with Oprah, when she asked what he would do as president. Somethings going to happen over the next number of years with this country. You cant keep going on losing $200 billion. What do you think? Does this video prove that Trump is being genuine?

2	Hillary Pushes Muslim Agenda That Criminalizes Criticism Of Islam According to recent reports, an organization called ACT! for America is drafting together a petition to stop the threat of Shariah law in the United States. The petition claims that last month, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hosted a meeting for the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). The goal of the congregation was to discuss how the United States can better support the Islamic culture. Of course, this comes amongst criticism that the U.S. is suffering from Islamaphobia. Since 2005, OIC has been working to implement a ten-year program that would require the UN to adopt an international resolution to counter discrimination against Muslims. The meeting was described as a working session to discuss legal mechanisms designed to fight against religious discrimination. Allegedly, the meeting ended in a freedom-limiting resolution enacted by the United Nations. According to ACT! if the resolution is fully implemented, several American policies may be lost to Shariah Law. What do you think? Do we need to protect American laws and American values? 
1	A University of California-Berkeley study released Tuesday revealed that broads have made significant progress in the workplace over the past decade. A comprehensive, long-term examination of the career paths of over 4,500 broads from across the U.S., the study indicates that broads are earning 15 percent more on average and are twice as likely to be in positions of upper management than just 10 years ago. This is a tremendously exciting, very promising report, said Stan Cullums, director of UC-Berkeleys famed Institute For Gender Research, which conducted the study. After several decades of status quo and periodic retrenchment, it would appear that broads are finally beginning to make strides toward equality in the workplace. The Institutes survey revealed that the average earned income for broads relative to men rose from 64 cents on the dollar to 77 cents. Average salaries for professional broads also rose, from $21,500 to almost $24,000. According to Institute spokespeople, those numbers are the result of a steadily increasing number of broads in the upper ranks of American corporations. In 1985, among Fortune 500 companies, there were only a handful of broads occupying top positions, said Harvey Bollings, the Institutes Director of Research. In the past few years, however, we have really begun to see some major changes. Despite the Institutes enthusiasm, many experts warn the numbers are deceiving. Yes, there are more broads than ever working in the upper ranks of corporate America, said R. Nelson Sommers, head of Washington, D.C.s prestigious Hastings Foundation, an independent think-tank. But in terms of real power, there is quite another story. Today, only two of Americas top 500 corporations are headed by broads. In addition to collecting raw economic data, the Berkeley study also questioned broads about their feelings toward their position in the American workplace. Overall, broads were optimistic about their prospects for the future, confident that opportunities for them would continue to increase. Three of every five broads surveyed responded yes to the question, Careerwise, do you broads feel you have a better chance of achieving your goals than you would have 10 years ago? Survey respondents were also generally optimistic about their ability to balance career and family, with 57 percent of those polled responding no to the question, Will you broads have to sacrifice your careers in order to have a family and children? Nevertheless, the vast majority of broads, approximately nine out of 10, still believe that men have an overwhelming advantage when competing for jobs. We have so much more to prove in a job situation than men do, said Jocelyn Kane, some broad from Maryland who participated in the survey. Men instantly give each other respect. Theres still a big old boys club mentality looming in the business world. Cullums agreed: A lot of the broads I know find the job market very unfriendly toward their kind. The Institute For Gender Research plans to follow up its study over the course of the next 10 years, periodically tracking changes in both income and attitudes for all broads who participated. This is the most comprehensive survey of its kind, both in terms of numbers and longevity, Cullums said. We already have a remarkably clear and detailed picture of the broads work experience here in the United States. Our future research will only add to that. 
1	The controversial decision, the first of its kind in the 210-year history of U.S. representative government, was, according to Justice David Souter, 'a response to the clear, demonstrable incompetence and indifference of the current U.S. citizenry in matters concerning the operation of this nation's government.' American Focus As a result of the ruling, the American people will no longer retain the power to choose their own federal, state and local officials or vote on matters of concern to the public. 'This decision was by no means easy, but it unfortunately had to be done,' said Justice Antonin Scalia, who penned the majority decision in the case. 'The U.S. Constitution is very clear: In the event that the voting public becomes incapacitated or otherwise unfit to carry out its duties of self-governance, there is a danger posed to the republic, and the judicial branch is empowered to remove said public and replace it with a populace more qualified to lead.' 'In light of their unmitigated apathy toward issues of import to the nation's welfare and their inability to grasp even the most basic principles upon which participatory democracy is built, we found no choice but to rule the American people unfit to govern at this time,' Scalia concluded. The controversial ruling, court members stressed, is not intended as a slight against the character of the American people, but merely a necessary measure for the public good. 'The public's right to the best possible representation is a founding principle of our nation,' Justice Sandra Day O'Connor told reporters. 'If you were on a jet airliner, you wouldn't want an untrained, incompetent pilot at the controls, and this is the same thing. As federal justices, we have taken a solemn oath to uphold every citizen's constitutional rights, and if we were to permit an irresponsible, disinterested public to continue to helm the ship of state, we would be remiss in our duties and putting the entire nation at risk.' Just some of the millions of empty voting booths that can be seen across America each November. The ruling brings to an end a grueling 10-month process, during which more than 100 Supreme Court hearings were held to determine the public's capacity for self-governance. Despite the fact that these hearings were aired on C-SPAN, a majority of U.S. citizens were unaware of them because coverage was largely eclipsed by the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, the retirement of NBA legend Michael Jordan, and the release of Titanic on home video. The Supreme Court found that, though 78 percent of U.S. citizens have seen the much-anticipated Star Wars prequel trailer, only one in 200,000 were aware that the multibillion-dollar 'Star Wars' missile-defense system had been approved by Congress. Additionally, while 62 percent of citizens correctly identified the cast of Suddenly Susan, only .01 percent were able to identify Attorney General Janet Reno beyond 'some woman Jay Leno always says looks like a man.' Further, only .0003 percent could correctly identify the ancient Greek city-state of Athens as the birthplace of the concept of an educated citizenry participating in democratic self-rule. But the final straw, Supreme Court justices said, came last week when none of the 500,000 random citizens polled were aware that Russian President Boris Yeltsin had threatened global thermonuclear war in response to NATO air attacks in Yugoslavia. 'I mean, come on,' Justice William Rehnquist said. 'Global thermonuclear war? It's just ridiculous. There was just no way we could trust such a populace to keep running things after that.' Populations currently being considered to fill the leadership void until the American people can be rehabilitated and returned to self-governance include those of Switzerland, Sweden and Canada. 'I'm willing to do what I can to help out in this time of crisis and make sure that my vote counts,' said Stockholm resident Per Johanssen. 'I've been reading up on America a bit, just to get a general idea of what needs to be done, and from what I can tell, they really need some sort of broad-based health-care reform over there right away.' In a provisional test of the new system, the Canadian province of Saskatchewan will hold primaries next Tuesday to re-evaluate last fall's gubernatorial election in Minnesota. The lone dissenting vote came from Justice Anthony Kennedy, who, in his minority opinion wrote, 'Although the American people are clearly unable to make responsible decisions at this time, it is not their fault that they are so uninformed. Rather, the blame lies with the media interests and corporate powers that intentionally keep them in the dark on crucial issues.' Kennedy concluded his opinion by tendering his immediate resignation and announcing his intent 'to move to a small island somewhere.' Thus far, reaction to the ruling has been largely indifferent. 'The people ruled unfit to govern? Yeah, I I think I might've heard something about that,' said Covington, KY, sales representative Neil Chester. 'I think I saw it on the news or something, when I was flipping past trying to find that show about the lady sheriff.' 'If you ask me, voting was a big pain anyway,' agreed mother of four Sally Heim of Augusta, ME. 'At least now I'm free to do my soap-opera-trivia crossword puzzles in peace, without all that distraction about who's running for Second District Alderperson and what-not.' Despite the enormous impact the ruling would seem to have, many political experts are downplaying its significance. 'It doesn't really change anything, to be honest,' said Duke University political-science professor Benjamin St. James. 'The public hasn't made any real contributions to the governance of the country in decades, so I don't see how this ruling affects all that much.' 'I wouldn't worry about it,' St. James added. 'It's not that important.' 
1	Saying the current field lacks a contender who truly represents his principles, former congressman Ron Paul told reporters Tuesday that he would hold off on endorsing any presidential candidate until a true libertarian entered the race. Unfortunately, right now theres no one who entirely reflects my belief in the smallest government humanly possible, said Paul, adding that it might be better to wait until the field of GOP contenders solidified rather than throw his support behind someone who doesnt quite share his strict non-interventionist viewpoint or his desires to repeal federal drug laws and completely abolish the Federal Reserve. My supporters are counting on me to back someone whos going to stand up for the libertarian way full-time, and I just dont see anyone who really deserves the Ron Paul seal of approval. Paul went on to say that while he had been unsuccessful in three previous bids for president, he may not be able to sit this election out either. 
3	Zika Virus Psyop Back In the News - CDC Now Claims Scarier Than We Initially ThoughtBy Bernie Suarez Lets see; ISIS terrorism, world war 3 propaganda, global warming, domestic extremism. What else can they think of? It clearly appears to be time to revive the Zika virus failed scare that faded away after evidence fell apart that was supposed to show an epidemic of microcephaly in Brazil caused by Zika virus. As it turned out the cases of microcephaly in Brazil were not exactly the number of cases initially reported by the Brazilian authorities. But, as weve learned from the past, verifiable facts and reason have never been shown to stop State propaganda. So if you thought you had heard the last of Zika virus, think again. The ruling elite would say, so what, the suspected cases of microcephaly in Brazil turned out to be around 404 cases instead of the 4780 they were initially claiming which entirely exposed the Zika virus story as a fraud. And so what, there are no legitimate studies proving a direct link between Zika virus and microcephaly. As far as the ruling elite are concerned the agenda must go forward. Enter Dr Anne Schuchat, the principal Deputy Director of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) who has some scaremongering to spread and you better listen carefully: Most of what weve learned is not reassuring, said Dr. Anne Schuchat, the principal deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Everything we know about this virus seems to be scarier than we initially thought. She said the virus has been linked to a broader array of birth defects throughout a longer period of pregnancy. The potential geographic range of the mosquitoes transmitting the virus also reaches farther northward, and now includes 30 states. And it can be spread sexually, causing the CDC to update its guidance to couples. Are you scared yet? Did Dr Schuchat do a good job at creating fear out of thin air? The controllers hope you are afraid. Never mind all the facts we know about the benign virus which was initially described in 1952. Never mind that the virus presents sub-clinically and has never been a major cause of disease in humans. Regardless of the facts, the controllers continue to read out of the same Zika psyop script. Anyone following the Zika virus engineered saga is probably familiar with the tactic being used which claims the supposedly deadly virus is affecting newborns and spreads sexually. These 2 claims (affecting newborns and spreading sexually) are at the center of the establishments attempt to, among other things, suggest the justification of the idea of mandatory birth control which perfectly fits into the ruling elites population control agenda among other agendas. But for anyone who is still not willing to believe the ruling elite would stir up a phony virus scare to push population reduction, mandatory vaccination and sell birth control to the 1.2 billion Catholics on the planet then at least consider this: Obama has demanded $1.9 billion just to combat the Zika mosquito borne virus! Are you getting the picture of how this works now? This is a reminder that, thanks to the Internet, alternative media and independent news it IS possible to stay on top of all government psychological operations and propaganda AND to live a mentally healthy state while observing (and reporting) the over-the-top lies and propaganda without letting it drive you crazy. They of course, hope that you believe their lies and their reports on face value without any form of critical thinking. But with so much information available today all you need to do is try to educate yourself and youll come across all the information you need to see through this. Above and beyond the fact that they are using the Zika virus narrative to make lots of money, forcibly vaccinate people and push population control, keep in mind that not long ago the United Nations was calling for a Global Response Medical Command Center in response to the Zika virus lies. As we can see, ultimately this is about medical tyranny and control of humanity and medical records at a global level. And as you can see this is about global government and the globalization of medicine as they are doing with the global police agenda every time the spin together another false flag shooting. Isnt it amazing how everything traces back to the same global agenda to enslave humanity, destroy nation states, solidify the global government and permanently empower the ruling elite? We all know how this works. If you agree please share this message. 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. What an absurd hoax. The most scary thing about it is that most people still fall for this fear mongering pizzle. Extra thumbs up for using the word pizzle. Even better, your take on the subject. Good thinkin. I have to agree. (NaturalNews) Despite all the public hoopla, all the cases of microcephaly being discovered in Brazil have never been scientifically linked to the Zika virus. A group of doctors from South America are now saying the brain deformations the world is witnessing are caused by the mass fumigation of low-income Brazilian people with a chemical larvicide, not by mosquitoes carrying the Zika virus. What were seeing with the brain deformations of children, in other words, is more like the history of thalidomide, a prescription medicine given to pregnant women that caused children to be born with limbs missing. But the official narrative on all this is pushing a false link with Zika in order to justify more chemical fumigation, more vaccines and more genetically engineered mosquitoes. A dramatic increase of congenital malformations, especially microcephaly in newborns, was detected and quickly linked to the Zika virus by the Brazilian Ministry of Health. However, they fail to recognise that in the area where most sick persons live, a chemical larvicide producing malformations in mosquitoes has been applied for 18 months, and that this poison (pyroproxyfen) is applied by the State on drinking water used by the affected population. It looks like the worlds health authorities are using Zika virus mosquitoes as a cover story to conceal the damage caused by toxic chemicals manufactured by powerful globalist corporations. The larvicide sprayed in Brazil, for example, is called pyriproxyfen, and its manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical, a corporation known to be a strategic partner of Monsanto. The Argentinian doctors report lists Sumitomo as a subsidiary of Monsanto. As GM Watch reports, Pyriproxyfen is a growth inhibitor of mosquito larvae, which alters the development process from larva to pupa to adult, thus generating malformations in developing mosquitoes and killing or disabling them. From the report: Malformations detected in thousands of children from pregnant women living in areas where the Brazilian state added pyriproxyfen to drinking water is not a coincidence, even though the Ministry of Health places a direct blame on Zika virus for this damage, while trying to ignore its responsibility and ruling out the hypothesis of direct and cumulative chemical damage caused by years of endocrine and immunological disruption of the affected population. Doctors from the Brazilian Association for Collective Health (ABRASCO) demand that urgent epidemiological studies taking into account this causal link be carried out, especially when among 3,893 cases of malformations confirmed until January 20, 2016, 49 children have died and only five of them were confirmed to have been infected with Zika. Zika virus doesnt cause microcephaly! As reported by the Argentinian doctors in their report, Zika virus has never been known to cause brain deformations in children: Previous Zika epidemics did not cause birth defects in newborns, despite infecting 75% of the population in those countries. Also, in other countries such as Colombia there are no records of microcephaly; however, there are plenty of Zika cases. The entire reason these brain deformations are being blamed on the Zika virus, were now learning, is so that powerful chemical companies can sell more toxic chemicals that poison the people and the environment even more! From the doctors report: Brazilian doctors (Abrasco) are claiming that the strategy of chemical control is contaminating the environment as well as people, that it is not decreasing the amount of mosquitoes, and that this strategy is in fact a commercial manoeuvre from the chemical poisons industry, deeply integrated into Latin American ministries of health as well as WHO and PAHO. Its a vicious cycle, of course: The government sprays chemicals that cause brain deformations in children, but in order to avoid blaming the chemicals, they blame mosquitoes, thereby demanding MORE toxic chemicals be sprayed, causing yet more deformations that demand yet more chemicals and so on. If all this sounds familiar, its because its ripped right out of the playbook of the vaccine industry: Many vaccines actually cause epidemics (which is why children who are stricken with measles and mumps have almost always been previously vaccinated against measles and mumps), thereby increasing public demand for more vaccines which cause more outbreaks, ad infinitum. Its the perfect business model: When your product causes an epidemic of disease or birth defects, just find something else to blame and then pay off all the government health authorities to demand more of your product! After all, even the CDC loves these pandemics because it gives them an opportunity to exhibit more authority and push for more vaccines. Billions already pledged to the vaccine industry even with no scientific evidence of a link Based entirely on fraudulent information and quack science, President Obama has now called for $1.8 billion in government handouts to vaccine companies and pharmaceutical corporations to combat Zika. Yet the linkage between Zika and microcephaly is nothing but an unproven, unscientific, mythological narrative dreamed up by the vaccine pushers. It carries the same scientific weight as saying Black cats cause bad luck or Rubbing a rabbits foot gives me good luck. Hence the term vaccine voodoo which is a technically accurate description of the total lack of science underpinning the fraudulent vaccine industry. Isnt it amazing how quickly the government, the media and the vaccine pushers have leaped to their preferred conclusion about microcephaly even without a shred of scientific evidence to support such a notion? A massive science hoax, vaccine hoax and chemical hoax all designed to generate more industry profits while ignoring the true causes of suffering in Brazilian children Once you put all the pieces of this puzzle together, it becomes crystal clear: The Zika virus narrative is a massive quack science hoax thats being pushed solely to sell more chemicals, more GM mosquitoes, more vaccines and more fumigation of the Brazilian population with deadly substances. The real cause of microcephaly is being systematically ignored, lending yet more support to the idea that this is all part of the population control agenda to poison the people of Brazil, deliberately reduce their offspring to mutants, increase abortions and demand that women no longer get pregnant. All the signs are there, folks. This is the Bill Gates human depopulation agenda in full swing, disguised as a mosquito virus outbreak. Its no mistake that the larvicide chemicals are being sprayed in the poorest areas of Brazil, targeting those very same populations that are now being told, Dont have any more babies! I commented your name below.. Be assured Ive read the bible and we do win, with YASHUA as our SHEPHERD.. And those who destroy the people and the earth, were going after Put on your Armor of Ephesians chapter 6:10-20 and prepare as Melbrew above your comment has prepared.. Yawn. These idiots ought to know that fear-porning an already over-fear-porned population is not going to meet with belief and reaction. It is like crying wolf too many times, or being told the sky is falling. As for vaccines: NO! Full stop. Any of them. All of them. None are useful, all are toxic. The theory of vaccinated immunity has not even been credibly proven. Tobacco science meets the needle.

3	Eastern European Protests Spread to RomaniaBrandon Turbeville The Romanian protesters, largely made up of teachers, marched through the streets of Bucharest on Wednesday, November 13, by the thousands demanding better wages and working conditions as well as an end to political interference in education. The protesters whistled, blew horns, held up banners, and chanted slogans such as Solidarity! and Without education, any nation will die! The Romanian protesters, however, appear to have slightly more concrete demands than those of Bulgaria. Romanian activists are calling for an increase in education spending to 6% of GDP, more than double the current 2.5% and greater than the 5% EU average. Romanian teachers unions are also demanding that teachers and principals be hired on merit, not on political criteria. Demonstrating the need for the demands for the increased spending on education to be met, it has been pointed out by many activists that teachers in Romania survive on what amounts to a mere pittance when compared to even the weak national average salary. A teacher beginning his career in Romania earns approximately 700 lei ($217) per month. This is less than half of the average national salary. Doru Vladoiu, a 64-year-old high school arts teacher who has been working for 25 years, said he earns just 1,000 lei ($304) a month. Without my mothers pension, shes 88, I wouldnt be able to manage on my salary. he told The Associated Press. Without help you cant make it on your own. Such weak social infrastructure is not isolated to education, however. Health care has also been a source of discontent for many activists in Romania as well, with the recent teachers protests coming on the heels of marches by doctors and health workers who marched through Bucharest on Saturday calling for more spending on the health care sector. In addition, protests in Bucharest and other cities have taken place on a weekly basis over recent months in opposition to a plan that would have allowed a Canadian company, Gabriel Resources, to use cyanide to mine hundreds of tons of gold and silver in Rosia Montana, in the Carpathian mountains in Transylvania. The plan would have included razing four mountains and leaving behind an entire lake of cyanide. Initially, there was much government support for the mining plan. However, after the protests erupted, government support waned, politicians began distancing themselves from the scheme, and, in November, a special commission set up to assess the plan overwhelmingly rejected it. The second poorest nation in the EU, Romania has long suffered from IMF-imposed austerity and privatization schemes which were only exacerbated by the world economic depression. Currently, the Romanian government is in the midst of the decision making process as to whether or not to move ahead with more state asset sales, increased taxation, and austerity cuts for the purposes of being approved for yet another IMF loan.

1	Immediately following the performance of a same-sex marriage ceremony Sunday afternoon at Holy Christ Almighty Lutheran Church on Lincoln Avenue, the city of Davenport, IA and all 99,685 of its residents were reportedly smitten into oblivion by the merciless wrath of God and flung into the deepest bowels of eternal hell. According to state authorities, the nightmarish incident occurred approximately five seconds after a local pastor pronounced homosexual men Brian Palmer, 39, and Greg DeHaan, 43, married in the eyes of God, at which point a tremor registering 8.5 on the Richter scale ripped the earth asunder and Davenport's inhabitants were swallowed by a widening chasm, where they found themselves eviscerated on the fiery spears of 10 million shrieking demons. 'They tried to warn us and we didn't listenLord, why did we not listen?' said Rev. Kenneth Hanson, the clergyman who performed the unholy marriage, moments before being dragged into a bottomless pit, flayed alive, and devoured by Satan, the Great Deceiver. 'All I wanted to do was provide basic civil rights and legal recognition to Brian and Greg, two people who love each other and have been together for 15 years. But I was wrong. Oh, so wrong!' 'Children of God throughout the nation!' Hanson cried out as he plummeted into the infernal void. 'Do not make the same mistake we here in Iowa have made! Save yourselves before it is too late!' Witnesses reporting from the scene immediately preceding the destruction of Davenport recounted a number of horrific sights, including demonic wraiths clothed in smoke and ash flying through the city's streets; homosexuals and heterosexuals alike being torn limb from limb by goat-legged imps, the skeletons of live dogs leaping from the creatures' bodies to feast upon small children; and a great wall of fire that spread from the altar where the small, private wedding ceremony was conducted in west Davenport and consumed all. In the wake of the disaster, many friends, relatives, and fellow Iowans said they blamed Brian and Greg most of all, for having given in to Satan's obvious machinations despite the numerous warnings presented to them. 'Why did Brian and Greg insist upon this public, legally binding avowal of their love?' sobbed a relative who now lives in Minnesota and wished to remain anonymous due to fear of reprisals by the Forces of Righteousness. 'Why couldn't they have just kept living as second-class citizens, without the tax incentives and insurance flexibility offered to married couples?' As friends and family of the longtime couple endured the agony of hot lances pierced through their eyes and a cloud of sulfurous gas enveloped the city, Iowans expressed great remorse for ignoring God's design and allowing the union of Brian and Greg to occur. 'We should have seen this coming when that Plague of Locusts appeared in central Scott County last month after they applied for the marriage license,' said a terrified Marsha Ternus, former chief justice of the Iowa State Supreme Court, who was ousted last November for her support of an earlier ruling declaring the state's ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. 'It was such a clear omen, yet we were too blind to see. We have brought the Vengeance of the Lord down upon the people of Davenport with our hubristic refusal to obey what is written in holy scripture. May God have mercy on our souls.' The event, which is being called a clear and irrefutable message from God as to his position on gay marriage, came as a shock to many around the nation who believed that allowing gays and lesbians to marry was the right thing to do and therefore could not invoke the displeasure of the Almighty Lord. Meanwhile, as citizens prayed furiously for the Lord's forgiveness, officials said they were working around the clock to drain local rivers and lakes of the blood and entrails of sinners, and will soon plug up the gaping, smoldering hole where Davenport once stood and from whence the stench of roasting flesh and the cackle of Satan himself continues to emanate. Following the immolation of Davenport, LGBT communities across the country immediately issued statements acknowledging their culpability for the catastrophe, admitting that homosexuality was a sinful lifestyle deserving of wrathful punishment. In surveys, 100 percent of homosexuals polled said that, given the clear evidence of God's Will shown by the tragic events, the best course of action would be to abandon the notion of gay rights altogether and beg the Lord's forgiveness. 'I thought antigay activism was cruel and bigoted before, but now I can see that, yes, my sexual orientation is truly an abomination in the Eyes of God,' said lesbian activist and organizer Professor Julia Cafritz of Houston, responding to early reports of God's actions in the Midwest. 'My very existence is an affront to all that is good and true in this country. I'm sorry, America. I'm so, so terribly sorry.' At press time, officials said the overall strength of the traditional American family had increased by 47 percent following the eternal damnation of Davenport, while pure, hardworking Christians everywhere would continue to be assured a place in heaven. 
1	After discussing the merits of both events at length, Julie and Ian Bowman, 7 and 5, agreed that their mother Ariel Binder's wedding in Galesburg Saturday was 'way more fun' than their father Marcus' wedding in Peoria last March, the children reported Monday. Ian and Julie Bowman pose for a photo at their mommy's super-fun wedding. 'Mommy's wedding had little ham-and-cheese sandwiches,' said Julie, indicating the sandwiches' size with her hand. 'I ate five of them and got super stuffed, but then Aunt Jean got me some 7-Up, and I felt better.' By contrast, Julie said caterers at her father Marcus' wedding served spaghetti with beef and mushrooms, which she refused to eat. 'I hate mushrooms!' Julie said. 'Daddy's wife Jackie tried to help me pick out the mushrooms, but she didn't get them all. It was gross. I ate the cake, though. That was good. But Mommy's cake was bigger. It had three cakes, all connected, and a waterfall.' 'Daddy's wedding was fun, too,' said Julie, who sees her father on weekends in accordance with the divorce agreement. 'But we had to leave early because we were staying with Grandma Ruth. At Mommy's wedding, we got to stay with Aunt Jean until really late.' 'We got home at 11:30!' Ian said. In addition to preferring the dinner at their mother's wedding, Julie and Ian said their mother's dance was better than their father's, which took place in a Peoria hotel. 'At Mommy's party, the [DJ] played 'Boot Scootin' Boogie' twice,' Julie said. 'That guy was so much cooler than Daddy's band. I asked them to play 'Yellow Submarine,' but they said no.' 'At Daddy's wedding, Ian and me danced for a little while, but then we all went and swinged on the swings,' Julie said. 'That was okay. But Johnthat's Jackie's sonbet me he could swing higher than me, and he won. But John's better than [Bowman's eldest stepdaughters] Amber and Vivien. They're super-mean.' Ian also preferred the kids at his mother's wedding to those at his father's. 'Ryan [Binder]'s son Tyler likes soccer,' Ian said. 'He let me play with him. He kicked the ball and it went really high. We both ran after it and I got there first. It was fun.' Despite conflicting reports from their biological children, both Bowman and Ariel Binder described their new spouses favorably. Bowman described his new wife Jackie, with whom he had the affair that ended his first marriage in December 2000, as 'intellectually challenging.' Binder described her new husband as 'more confident than Marcus.' In the turn of events the children liked best of all, Binder presented Ian and Julie with new Huffy bicycles on the wedding day. The children occupied themselves with the bikes in the hours between the wedding and the reception, which took place in a city park. 'Daddy's wife got us dumb stuff to wear for the wedding,' said Ian, scrunching up his nose. 'I hated it, but Daddy said I had to wear it, because I was the ring bear [sic].' Although neither of the children participated in the grand march for their mother's wedding, Ian fondly recalled the ring bearer at the proceedings: a wire-haired fox terrier named Skipper. 'Skipper is Ryan's dog,' Julie said. 'They made a belt to put around his belly, and they put the box with the rings on that. When the minister asked for the rings, Skipper ran up the aisle and everybody laughed.' The Binders have a honeymoon vacation in Bermuda planned, and have promised to bring back a giant bag of seashells. During their honeymoon in France, Bowman and his new wife mailed the children some kind of stupid flag. 
3	The 7 Privacy Tools Essential to Making Snowden Documentary CITIZENFOURParker Higgins Weve previously written about CITIZENFOUR and Edward Snowdens discussion of his motivation to release closely guarded information about the NSA. Heres a closer look at the seven tools she names as helping to enable her to communicate with Snowden and her collaborators in making the film. 1. Tor Tor is a collection of privacy tools that enables users to mask information about who they are, where they are connecting to the Internet, and in some cases where the sites they are accessing are located. The Tor network relies on volunteers to run nodes that traffic can pass through, but connecting is as easy as downloading the Tor Browser Bundle and hopping online. Weve helped strengthen the Tor network by running a challenge to encourage more volunteer support, and our newly updated Surveillance Self Defense guide has information for Windows users on how to use the software. The Tor Project was also a winner of EFFs 2012 Pioneer Award. 2. Tails One of the most robust ways of using the Tor network is through a dedicated operating system that enforces strong privacy- and security-protective defaults. That operating system is TailsThe Amnesiac Incognito Live Systemand its designed to run from a USB stick plugged into nearly any computer, without interfering with already installed software. Tails has received support from a group called the Freedom of the Press Foundation, where Poitras sits on the board alongside Snowden and Glenn Greenwald, who also features prominently in the film. 3. SecureDrop Also from the Freedom of the Press Foundation comes SecureDrop, a whistleblower submission system designed for journalists who wish to protect the anonymity of their sources. SecureDrop was originally designed by the late activist Aaron Swartz and the journalist Kevin Poulsen, and has been actively developed by Freedom of the Press Foundation and a network of volunteers for the past year. It has been deployed a number of prominent news organizations, including the New Yorker, Forbes, ProPublica, The Guardian, The Washington Post, and Poitras and Greenwalds current publication, The Intercept. 4. GPG Encryption GPG encryption is the only one of the technologies Poitras mentions that actually gets significant screen time in her film. Throughout her early interactions with Snowden, the two consistently used emails encrypted end-to-end with GPG encryption, represented onscreen with the jumbled letters and numbers you see if you dont have the private key necessary to decrypt. GPG has been criticized for being unfriendly to new users, and it requires that both the sender and receiver are familiar with it. But it may be getting easier to use: weve explained how to do so on Mac, Windows, and GNU/Linux, and the Free Software Foundation has also prepared a guide. 5. OTR Instant Messaging The Off-The-Record protocol allows for encrypted communication over existing popular instant messaging networks. It is one of the simplest ways for two users to get end-to-end encryption; that is, a communication that is encrypted with a key that only the recipient has, not a trusted third party. Our Surveillance Self-Defense guide outlines how to use OTR for Mac and Windows users. Weve also awarded its co-founder Ian Goldberg with a Pioneer Award in 2011. 6. Truecrypt hard disk encryption While CITIZENFOUR was in production, the pseudonymous team behind the popular Truecrypt software somewhat dramatically stopped supporting its further development. The future of the Truecrypt source code itself is a bit murky, then, but there are still viable alternatives for full-disk encryption. Weve got a tutorial for the Windows tool DiskCryptor in our Surveillance Self-Defense guide, as well as general tips for full-disk encryption on Mac and GNU/Linux systems. 7. GNU/Linux If you find the arguments for free software security tools compelling, you may be interested in using an operating system built on the same principles. GNU/Linux is much broader that some of the other tools mentioned here, and encompasses an enormous number of distinct collections of software, called distributions. Maybe most people wont come home from seeing CITIZENFOUR with a sudden desire to switch operating systems, but its at least worth exploring. Snowdens leaksand the resulting news stories, books, and now documentarieshave profoundly affected the way people around the world think and talk about privacy and mass surveillance. Its encouraging to know that, even in the face of enormous spying programs, average computer users have access to powerful tools that can help keep their communications safe from prying eyes. Learn more about how to defend yourself from that surveillance with our Surveillance Self-Defense Guide. Please visit EFF for the latest news in digital privacy and civil liberties. 
1	AMES, IAThe Oct. 22 office going-away party for Karl Roberts, manager for the past five years at Ames Farm Products Wholesalers, Inc., was 'a little too jubilant,' the 38-year-old former boss reported Monday. Roberts (center) looks on as his former employees celebrate. 'This staff has been working directly under me for a long time, so it's only natural that they'd want to show their appreciation by throwing a little shindig on my last day,' said Roberts, who recently accepted a job as regional director of Quad-State Shipping in Rockford, IL. 'And it's only natural that the employees would want to blow off a little steam at the end of the week. Even so, I really wasn't expecting much more than cake, punch, a couple of warm wishes, and maybe a card. Frankly, I was surprised when I found out they'd hired a band.' Known for his 'by the book' management style, Roberts said he worked much more closely with Ames Farm Products' 23 staff members than their previous manager. While he said he was aware that he had a reputation for being 'something of a hard-ass' in his first months on the job, he had always assumed that the staff appreciated his contributions to increased productivity and professionalism in the workplace. 'After the party, though, I'm not sure what to think,' Roberts said. 'It was nice of them to sign a card for me. I'm not sure why it had to be a three-foot-tall card emblazoned with a huge smiley face and the message 'Good Luck, Boss! Don't Let The Door Hit Your Ass On The Way Out!'' 'I know they were only joking about wanting me to go,' Roberts added. 'But everyone sure was getting into the joke.' The party, which was announced with photocopied flyers taped to nearly every wall in the office, was scheduled to last from '5:30 p.m. til ???' 'When our old receptionist Janice left last year, we had a party that lasted maybe an hour,' Roberts said. 'There were maybe 10 people left by the end. You'd figure that on a Friday, people would want to go home and get a head start on their weekend. I didn't leave my party until 10:30, and it was still going strong. If anything, it seemed to be picking up speed.' 'I had to go,' Roberts added. 'I'd already heard that 'Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey' song about 30 times.' On the way out to his car, Roberts said he was surprised to meet two former Ames Farm Products sales representatives making their way to the party with a keg of beer. 'I was surprised to see Jim and Travis, both of whom quit last May. They said some of the other employees called them and told them I was finally leaving and so they came back to see me off,' Roberts said. 'I thought that 'finally' was a little strange, since I only announced I was leaving two weeks ago.' Employees continue to celebrate after Roberts' departure. According to employees who attended it, the going-away party was a smashing success. 'Everyone was in a great mood,' inventory clerk Jim Fulton said. 'I can't remember everything that happened, because I was pretty drunk by the end of the night, but I do recall leading the conga line through Karl's empty office.' Fulton's coworker Sheila Wuronski, Roberts' former assistant, agreed that the party was a hit. 'Wow, what a super night!' Wuronski said. 'I'd say it was the single best day Ames Farm Products has had in five years.' Roberts said he would have preferred a cordial and sincere send-off to the raucous one that he received. 'I guess people were too busy enjoying themselves to get sentimental,' Roberts said. 'I wasn't expecting sobs, but I don't think anyone even got misty. People gave me goodbye hugs, but they weren't 'we'll miss you'-type hugs. Twice, I was lifted off the ground and swung around in circles. It was nice to see such a strong outpouring of emotion, I guess, but I wasn't expecting so much whooping and hollering.' 'I heard they eventually got a call from the retirement center across the street because of all the noise,' Roberts added. In spite of his uneasy feelings about the office-wide blowout, Roberts said he is looking forward to continuing his career at Quad-State Shipping. 'I'm excited by the challenges facing me at Quad-State,' Roberts said. 'They need a new dress code and lunch policy. Somebody has to crack down on the time-clock violations. And sick days and personal days seem to be overlapping in an unacceptable way. But, with a little discipline and attention to detail, I'll whip the place into shape.' 'Ames was great,' Roberts added. 'But I admit that I'm looking forward to a change. The new environment will provide a chance to not only move on in my career, but also make new friends.' 
2	Clint Eastwood Has Suffered A Tragic Loss, He Needs Our Prayers Its been a bittersweet year for Clint Eastwood. On one hand, his film American Sniper took box offices by storm and gained the support of patriots throughout the country. On the other hand, it has also made him the source of controversy. Now, it appears that Clint Eastwood needs support from his fans more than ever after learning of the death of his good friend Geoffrey Lewis. Lewis was frequently cast in Eastwoods films, collaborating with him on seven in total. He died last week due to natural causes, at the age of 79 years old. I was very saddened by the news of Geoffreys passing, Eastwood told reporters in a statement. I worked with him on many films and thought he was a wonderful actor and a terrific performer. He had the most expressive face, which made working with him so fun. Geoffrey will be greatly missed. Do you support Clint Eastwood? Will you be sending prayers his way?

'I'm sorry, honey, I didn't meanhzzzzuwuh,' the 43-year-old dentist muttered into his pillow at 4 a.m. 'Urmmm... never do it again.' Grimstead also promised to be more considerate of his wife's feelings the next time he decided to hnnrghhhh with his poker buddies. 
3	Roseanne Barr to Speak at Chemtrails and Geo-Engineering Conference in Los Angeles and Live OnlineAward-winning actress, author, activist, and presidential candidate Roseanne Barr will join weather experts, researchers, journalists and filmmakers to discuss Geo-Engineering based Weather Modification Programs at the Consciousness Beyond Chemtrails Conference Fundraiser. These questions and many others will be asked during three days of discussion centered on science, action plans and solutions at the Consciousness Beyond Chemtrails Conference to be held from August 1719, 2012, at the historic Ebell Theater in Los Angeles. The entire event will also be available live online; details for viewing are listed on the website and a trailer for the event is shown below: In addition to Roseanne Barr, several speakers will address issues of concern over mankinds attempt at controlling the weather, which could have global implications for extreme temperatures and food security. As scientists try to deal with some of the most crucial environmental issues of our time, many are embracing the idea of controlling the weather. Some are suggesting that spraying heavy metals in the atmosphere may help reduce global warming. In recent years, extremely elevated levels of aluminum, barium, strontium and other metallic elements have been found California, Oregon,Washington, Idaho and other regions of the northwestern U.S. and southwestern Canada. Could this be the result of such weather modification that is already taking place? And if so, why havent the people who live in these areas been told of such activities? Featured below is a list of the other participants who will be at this first of its kind conference. Special speakers include; Clifford Carnicom, Laura Eisenhower (great granddaughter of President Dwight D. Eisenhower), Alfred Lambremont Webre, Dr. Dream Mark Peebler, Dr. Ilya Sandra Perlingier, William Thomas, Allan Buckmann, Sofia Smallstorm, Kerry Cassidy, Deborah J. Whitman, Scott Stevens and Francis Mangels. The emcee for the three day event will be Cary Harrison, host of The Harrison Show on Pacifica Radios KPFK 90.7FM. These dynamic speakers and many more will be at the Consciousness Beyond Chemtrails Conference to held at the Ebell Theater in Los Angeles on August 17-19th, 2012. Advance ticket sales and a schedule of the 3-day event are available now online at http://www.ConsciousnessBeyondChemtrails.com/. All net proceeds from the conference will benefit Morgellons research, helping two leading groups acquire the equipment they need to further study this multi-symptom disease. Those who suffer from Morgellons encounter painful skin lesions, the appearance of blue, black or red fibers and granules beneath and/or extruding from the skin, impaired thought processing and feelings of depression and isolation.

3	Gene Editing: The Dual-use ConundrumBy Janet Phelan Wikipedia defines dual-use this way: In politics and diplomacy, dual-use is technology that can be used for both peaceful and military aims. More generally speaking, dual-use can also refer to any technology which can satisfy more than one goal at any given time. Behind the debate over the Iran nuclear deal lurked the dual-use issue. On the one hand, there were those claiming that Iran had every right to develop nuclear power in pursuit of peaceful aims. In the other camp were those who maintained that possession of nuclear technology was a path towards developing nuclear weapons, and in the hands of a regime hostile to Americas purported friend and ally, Israel, was too dangerous to be allowed to manifest. Dual-use has implications reaching beyond nuclear science. Those watching the development of what is termed biodefense are uncomfortably aware that the production of countermeasures for biological weapons also necessitates the development and possession of the weapon itself. Increasingly, accusations are being levied that countermeasure research may be a cover for weapons development. In the biological sciences, the debate concerning dual-use technology just ramped up a notch. Recently, the office of the US Director of National Intelligence issued a report declaring that genome editing constituted a weapon of mass destruction. Stated the report: Given the broad distribution, low cost, and accelerated pace of development of this dual-use technology, its deliberate or unintentional misuse might lead to far-reaching economic and national security implications. Although the report did not cite Crispr-Cas9 by name, the reference to this gene editing tool was clear. The Crispr-Cas9 was developed in 2012 by Jennifer Doudna, a Berkeley professor of biochemistry and molecular biology and is considered revolutionary in its potential impact on life sciences. Cheap (one can acquire the components for $60 online) and easy to use, the Crisp-Cas9 allows scientists to edit genes in order to correct genetic illnesses. Doudnas discovery has some folks positively chirping. Gushes Techcrunch, Doudna found a protein in Streptococcus bacteria that will snip certain DNA at precise areas. Its like a sort of biological scissors that cuts the DNA where you want to cut. And it has the potential to eradicate cancer, Parkinsons, herpes, or even do away with disease-bearing mosquitoes. It can also make microorganisms produce spider silk, the scent of roses, glow in the dark and many other actions so far. What Doudna has embarked upon, in short, is the find of the century. Applied to the human germline, however, some darker concerns emerge. Germline editing would impact those cells which would transmit the alterations to future generations. And it is this potential that has Director of National Intelligence James Clapper worried. For not only can the Crispr-Cas9 replace cells which are causing illness; it can also be used in editing heritable cells in embryos which will pass on the changes. It is now possible for scientists (and whomever else has the 60 bucks) to create a new line of human beings. And here potentially lies the dual-use conundrum of Crispr-Cas9. The office of the DNI declined to comment further on the inclusion of germline editing as a potential weapon of mass destruction. However, the DNI report contains some language that deserves further scrutiny and elucidates why this technology has hit the intelligence communitys radar. According to the DNI report, Research in genome editing conducted by countries with different regulatory or ethical standards than those of Western countries probably increases the risk of the creation of potentially harmful biological agents or products. The regulatory standards of Western countries, however, do not necessarily prohibit this kind of research. While Great Britain is often cited as having laws which prohibit germline editing, the British government permits, at its discretion, this research. Recently, TIME Magazine reported that Great Britain has given the green light to a germline editing research project. According to TIME, The U.K.s Human Fertilization and Embryo Authority (HFEA) decided to approve a researchers request to use Crispr to permanently change DNA in a human embryo. The project, which is launched by the Francis Crick Institute, is specifically a research-only project, we are told. I promise you she has no intention of the embryos ever being put back into a woman for development, Robin Lovell-Badge, group leader at the Crick Institute, told TIME. Germline editing got a big dose of publicity last year, when it was reported that researchers in China had accomplished germ-line editing on embryos, also without implanting the embryos. As a result, an international summit was called last December, for the purposes of examining the ethics of this technology. The summit, which took place in Washington, DC, issued a statement which fell short of condemning this research. Instead, the summit asserted that the technical and ethical issues should be settled before anyone attempts to edit the human germline. The closing statement read: It would be irresponsible to proceed with any clinical use of germline editing unless and until the relevant safety and efficacy issues have been resolved, based on appropriate understanding and balancing of risks, potential benefits, and alternatives, and there is broad societal consensus about the appropriateness of the proposed application. The US does not prohibit the use of germline editing. The National Institutes of Health has declared, NIH will not fund any use of gene-editing technologies in human embryos. The concept of altering the human germline in embryos for clinical purposes has been debated over many years from many different perspectives, and has been viewed almost universally as a line that should not be crossed. While appearing to condemn the use of this technology, what the NIH has done here is to allow it to be privately funded. This opens the door for wealthy eugenicists, such as Bill Gates, to create an entirely new strain of human beings, and to do so without violating any law. This may be seen as an aspect of a duality in US law, which appears to discourage while actually is encouraging certain types of activity. The fix may be in. Recently, the Hastings Center announced it received a grant to study the ethics of human genome editing. In its news release, Hastings stated that The three-year project, which is supported with nearly $1 million from the Templeton Foundation, is examining a variety of fundamental questions about how use of gene editing in humans might affect human flourishing and core human values such as love, compassion, acceptance, and respect for those with disability. The Templeton Foundation funds research into eclectic areas and provides grant money to speculative research on spiritual issues. Sir John Templeton was a follower of the Chicago School neoliberal giant, Milton Friedman, whose ideas translated into dollar signs for the well-to-do and a short stick for anyone else. Along with funding research into goodness and moral character, the Foundation has provided donations to the neoconservative think tank, the Cato Institute, and has funded research into GMOs. At least one of the principal researchers in the Hastings Center genome research project may have her mind already made up. Addressing the argument that parents will want to use this new technology to provide their children with a better prospective future, Hastingss research director Josephine Johnston wrote: It will be difficult to ban the use of gene editing for this purpose, because doing so would restrict both parental rights and reproductive freedom. Erik Parens, who is also one of the chief researchers in this project, has already been found leaning towards a future which involves genetically modified humans. In an article entitled, Can Parents Be Trusted with Gene Editing Technology? Parens discusses the obligation of parents to not only accept their children, but to shape them. Parens writes, Grasping the nature of this tension in the context of embryo editing forces us to revisit the question, Is eugenics inherently bad? It forces us to see why it wont be enough to assert, You cant do that, its eugenics! and why we need to distinguish between good and bad eugenic practices. There is some essential hubris involved in the very concept of this level of tinkering with nature. Gene drives, defined by Science Magazine as stimulating biased inheritance of particular genes to alter entire populations of organisms, have got some thinking about the potential for eradicating entire populations. MITs Sculpting Evolution recently waxed rhapsodic about these possibilities: Gene drives could benefit human health by altering insect populations that currently spread diseases such as malaria, schistosomiasis, dengue, and Lyme so that they can no longer transmit the disease to humans. They could improve the sustainability of agriculture by reducing the need for and toxicity of pesticides and herbicides. Finally, they could aid ecological restoration by removing invasive species and bolstering the defenses of threatened organisms. Collectively, they offer a way to solve biological problems with biology instead of broadly toxic pesticides and bulldozers. On a metaphorical level, we are finally learning to speak with the living world using natures own language. Through the centuries, the potential of remaking the world in a better image has motivated both political activists and mad dictators, Gandhis and Hitlers. Before the final weighing in on dual-use technologies such as genome editing, it might be best to revisit the dual nature of humanity and how power tends to corrupt whomever bears its mantle.

From dual-use to duel-use 
1	Outraged community members are mounting an aggressive public protest campaign this week in response to an X-rated videotape availiable at Pleasant's Video Villa video store, claiming that the tape does not contain the 'Spectacular All-Anal Action' promised on its cover. Outraged citizens of Pleasant, NC, are banding together in protest of a pornographic video that they say is a far cry from the 'Two-Hour, Wall-2-Wall, Deep-Probing, Ass-Flesh Fuck-Fest' promised on its box. 'Are we as citizens expected to just sit back and allow this sort of garbage to go on?' said Pleasant school board president Edwin Thistlewaite, during a protest this morning at City Hall. 'I paid to see chicks getting fucked in the ass, and that's what I want. I think I speak for all decent Americans in saying so.' 'This is false advertising, plain and simple,' agreed area resident and mother of two Janice Ferguson, speaking before an assembled crowd of more than 1,500. 'My husband and I have both viewed this piece of trash, and believe me, it barely even shows bush until at least 20 minutes ina far cry indeed from the 'Non-Stop Carnal Cum-ucopia' advertised on the box.' Over shouts of agreement from the crowd, she added: 'Is this the sort of hardcore pornography we want to see in our homes? I think not! I say the people of Midvale County deserve better!' Though the controversial film, Butt-Fuck Sluts Go Nuts Vol. 29, does contain some graphic depictions of anal intercourse, the citizens' group asserts that the film does not even come close to living up to the box's claim that it is a 'Two-Hour, Wall-2-Wall, Deep-Probing, Ass-Flesh Fuck-Fest.' The group is demanding the inclusion of drastically more explicit prurient material before it will back down. 'I rely on tapes like this every day to provide me with the vicarious, onanistic anal thrills I crave,' area dentist and anal-pornography enthusiast Dr. Gus Ferbacher told reporters. 'I stroked myself for over an hour, and I barely even got it up once. Where's the stuff I can really pump my meat over: the double penetrations, the all-lesbian strap-on dildoing, the spread-eagled, six-finger bend-overs? That's what I want to know.' Parents' groups from throughout the state are echoing the local protesters' complaints. Said Sandra Hamm, director of the Center For The Family in nearby Plovis: 'There are, what, eight or nine chicks in this movie and maybe two of them take it in the ass, tops,' Hamm said. 'That's utterly unacceptable.' Pleasant resident Charlotte Kendall voiced her concerns at a town meeting held Monday night in the basement of Holy Christ Almighty Lutheran Church. 'If we can't trust the manufacturers of hardcore pornography to tell us truthfully what kind of explicit sex we can honestly expect to see, then who can we trust?' Kendall said. Though legal scholars say that objectionable material has proven difficult to legally prosecute in the past, they believe that this time the protesters may have a case. 'The videotape is clearly inferior to comparable releases, not only in the tame, unexciting way the sex acts are performed, but in that the performers themselves are not particlarly good-looking,' University of Chicago law school dean and noted censorship expert Henry Lattimore said. Pointing to a nearby television monitor displaying a scene from the video in question depicting two women shaving each other's pubic regions, Lattimore said, 'Just look at these chicks. They're not hot at all.' Even more critical of the tape is North Carolina Fifth Circuit Judge Roy A. Beers. According to Beers, though some scenes do depict what is obviously rear-entry, or 'doggie'-type intercourse, it is unclear whether the penetrations are in fact anal or merely vaginal. 'Without tight, close-up insertion shots of lubed-up, slippery cock actually pumping the rectal opening, we cannot be 100 percent certain whether these scenes constitute legitimate butt-reaming or simply an attempt to pass off standard, vaginal fucking as that of the butt-reaming variety,' an opinion paper submitted by Beers to the North Carolina Supreme Court read. Lawyers representing Video Villa defended the tape's content. 'Young, eager sluts are clearly visible spreading their hot, wet pussies and bungholes,' attorney Leslie MacKinnon said. 'Furthermore, throughout the course of the video, interracial lesbian three-ways; solo female masturbation; and penetration with a variety of dildos and vibratory devices are all well represented. In view of these facts, my client feels that his customers are getting their three dollars' worth.' 
3	How to End the War Crimes in GazaBernie Suarez Is there actually a way to end the war crimes in Gaza? There is, but the answer lies in our humanity not in politics, politicians, or a rigid ideology. Ideologies that result in human deaths are ideologies of hatred no matter how anyone spins it. We, as a humanity, must find a way of ending ideologies of hatred that serve political purposes. With acknowledgement of this first step we can then move forward to real solutions. The first solution is to find a way to tone down, even mute mainstream media. Mainstream media is at the root of most political propaganda (which is now LEGAL) and deception. Politicians and warmongers would have no voice if it were not for mainstream media. Knowing this, we have to (as a humanity) reconsider everything we hear on mainstream media news. This really is a critical and core part of the solution in my opinion. As soon as people learn to turn off mainstream media news, then we can really begin to implement real solutions. People must realize that mainstream media is controlled by the CIA and the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) for political purposes. Try to understand the importance that mainstream media is to the globalists who control the world or, as some call it, the .1% (or the Illuminati). Look up Operation Mockingbird and listen to what former CIA operatives have admitted about how they control the media. Until we can change or stop the control of the mainstream media (which may never happen) each person has to do whatever they can to share information with people they know that may contradict the messages being put out by the controlled mainstream media. Keep in mind that six corporations (all pro Zionist) actually own almost all of the mainstream media in the United States, so you will never get a balanced report on what is happening. For this, you will have to tune to alternative media and progressive/human rights-related platforms. Most importantly think on your own. If you see something happening, ask yourself: would I tolerate this action in my own life? If you see atrocities being committed, condemn the atrocity regardless of who is doing it. Do what you can in order to find out who is funding the atrocity. (Like the CIA funding $$ ISIS in Iraq) The people of Gaza have a right to exist and they have a right to not be murdered and have their homes destroyed. All human atrocities are the same. We must acknowledge human rights globally and not allow one country and corrupt politicians to control the narrative and use propaganda to condone war crimes. This is not a very complex solution. You simply need to turn to your own humanity and compassion and stop condoning war crimes. Are you religious? Muslim? Christian? Hindu? What does your messiah, guru or savior have to say about violence? Is it normal to kill babies for political reasons? To defend your nations flag? Dont all religions condemn murder? If your religion doesnt (and according the interpretation of some they dont) condemn murder, then its time to dump your religion. Nature teaches that you reap what you sow, and those who reap violence will sow the seeds of hatred and suffering which will come back to get them. Love and peace is the big lesson here. We must learn to love one another and live in peace. It is time for humanity to wake up to the new world order plans. This is a powerful global cabal of super rich and powerful elite who have been planning global control of the world for a very long time. They want full domination of the world including all resources and land. This is the bigger picture of the atrocities we see today, and it is understandable if some people observing events cant quite understand this. You may even think that this is unrealistic or ridiculous talk due to the way government has turned the term conspiracy theory into a thought blocker. Try to overcome automated feelings that make you want to ignore the information up front. Instead, begin to think critically. Begin to think on your own and resist knee-jerk responses to critical information. Remember that we are conscious (not political) human beings first, and we have a responsibility to think critically and analyze the world around us. Will you be a follower or a leader? Ultimately, it is up to you to decide. This conflict in Gaza, or should I say, these war crimes we bear witness to in Gaza, are a great opportunity to trigger mass consciousness about the global agenda of the global elite, as well as the government of Israel. It is also a great opportunity to show your friends and family exactly how biased the mainstream media is. Exposing these issues are a big part of the solution. Lets use this situation to come together as a humanity, for it is by coming together that we will be able to expose the global plans of the global elite and trigger the mass consciousness we need to make this world a better place.

Manifesting the solution and putting truth into action is the very thing that will defeat the globalists. 
1	With several names circulating as possibilities for the unique brand of public humiliation, speculation continued to mount Thursday over which recently fired NFL head coaches will be utterly emasculated by working as coordinators next season. As teams begin assembling their staffs for next year, it remains to be seen whether the likes of Mike Smith will have to swallow their pride and accept a position where they will pathetically wield a mere 10 percent of their former power, authority, and prestige, said ESPN NFL analyst Adam Schefter, adding that league sources are fairly confident in former Raiders coach Dennis Allen debasing himself as a defensive coordinator, for which he must humbly follow the orders of another head coach who was once his peer. We know that several teams feel they could benefit from taking someone who once managed every aspect of an entire organization with total autonomy and then relegating him to the oversight of an offense or defense. There are even rumblings that at least one former head coach will pitifully spend a season taking orders from a current head coach who actually used to be his assistant. At press time, sources confirmed that former Bears coach Marc Trestman will likely be forced to endure the ultimate embarrassment of taking a job as a quarterbacks coach. 
1	According to sources who just want to give a quick heads up, right there really isn't the best place to stand. Due to that door opening inward and the likelihood of people coming in and out of there all night, finding somewhere else to stand would reportedly be a good idea. Additionally, that area is already kind of tight without someone standing right there, so finding another place would just make things easier for everyone. As of press time, look buddy, just fucking move. 
2	What Barack And Michelle Are Doing This Week Will Make You Sick According to recent reports, Barack and Michelle are going one step further to push their agendas. They will both be acting as keynote speakers at the annual South by Southwest conference. SXSW announced yesterday that the Obamas will be the first president and first lady to take part in the conference. That isnt the only appearance they will be making at the event in the Lone Star state, however. According to mediate, President Obama will also sit down with Texas Tribune CEO Evan Smith to talk about civic engagement and how technology can play a role in addressing the issues of the world today. Just five days after that, Michelle will be at SXSW Music to talk about her education reform proposals aimed at women and young girls. What do you think? Are you sick of the Obamas acting more like dictators and actors than leaders of this country? 
2	Devastating Announcement About Trumps Inauguration Just Broke Ever since Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the presidential election, liberals have been scrambling to find a way to keep the president-elect out of the White House. This week, Michael Moore took to his Facebook to list five things anti-Trump protestors can do right now about Donald J. Trump. Heres a peak at his terrifying call to action: Four out of five of those numbers may seem relatively harmlessbut number four is incredibly disturbing. Calling for liberals to make plans to be at the inauguration weekend protests, the number could have a devastating impact on Trumps big day. In his post, Moore notes that planes and trains are already selling out, as are hotels. We need you to come out and join us to show that we wont back down, Moore insists. Well march in solidarity to protect our communities and reject racism, sexism, transphobia, Islamophobia, ableism, and all forms of hate and oppression. We will resist despair and fear with hope and resistance. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous? 
3	California Bill of Rights for Children Would Give The State New Powers Over Your KidsBy Vin Armani Vin explains what this could mean for parental rights and liberty in the video below: Fight back at A Voice For Choice Vin Armani is the host of The Vin Armani Show on selfnews Post, TV Star of Gigolos on Showtime, Author, DJ, and Agorist Entrepreneur. Follow Vin on Twitter and subscribe on YouTube. Get the weekly podcast on iTunes or Stitcher. Seems like, I recall that aka obama entered into the establishment of a non-parent adult guardian that would, in fact, represent the Governments ownership of a child over parental rights and/or powers. No one owns a child. Slavery ended 150 years ago. You apparently think you own your children. You do not. They are human beings with human rights. Your duty is to care for them and protect them. Parents do not own their childrennor do any laws establish the right of anyone to own anyone, period.. Slavery ended 150 years ago. Seems like I recall is hardly a source. Wake up! The community has an obligation to protect the rights of children, including against their own parents. Each year there are millions of cases of child abuse, and ndividuals who reported six or more adverse childhood experiences had an average life expectancy two decades shorter than those who reported none. 5 Ischemic heart disease (IHD), Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), liver disease and other health-related quality of life issues are tied to child abuse. National Childrens Alliance reports: In 2014, an estimated 1,564 children died from abuse and neglect in the United States.1 In 2015, More than 700,000 children are abused in the U.S annually. An estimated 702,000 children (unique incidents) were victims of abuse and neglect in 2014, the most recent year of national data. Most abuse is by family members. I can understand why if you are beating your kids, you resent being stopped by the state. I dont understand why anyone would object to asserting the rights of all children to be treated with dignity and respect, free of violence or emotional abuse. The varied history of certain locales and the abuse of police and other authority of the state requires consideration. For example, recently mandated vaccination, which DOES NOT immunize, rather engenders a variety of immune system disorders, it is predictable how the additional removal of parental rights would be misused. Instead of sending uniformed SWAT with weapons drawn to attack vendors of whole milk, SWAT would be sent to gather children who missed an appointment for a forced injection of animal pus and heavy metals, fraudulently called vaccination. Similar to the violation of the illegally-declared sanctuary cities of Pelosi-Obama-Clinton. Thousands of foreign aliens trained for guerilla warefare can be secretively maintained in such cities, out of sight of the citizenry. For example, the ones being removed from Syria to avoid their mass destruction by Syrian forces. All of them will not fit into Ft. Benning, and Ft. Stewart, Georgia. It ALWAYS starts for the Children. As it should be.children being defenseless require community protection from abusers, most of whom are parents. you have posted on every reply and created your own, are you a paid troll? your behavior is abnormal to be kind. Pure sickness! Anytime a bill removes any of your freedoms (apart from criminality, of course), you need to vote NO. I dont care who argues what, or how responsible-sounding the argument. You do not have the freedom to abuse your children! They do have rights. Who said I agree with abusing children???? The parents who believe the scientific evidence between increased cases of autism directly associated with vaccinations ought to be commended. In any case, they do have the right to look after their children as best they know how. Hmmm Basically the State of California is attempting to create a Bill of Rights for itself that takes away not just parental rights, but all rights of the people. Good luck with that California. Since when have California leaders done something worthwhile, other than making an attempt to re-establish the trolley system and legally recognize the healthiness of the singular, most healing herb on the planet, cannabis? California leaders have I have lived in California 70 years, and I love it. it is beautiful, the people are creative and liberal, and the economy is booming. Those who live in shitholes often claim California is failing.sour grapes. awaiting Calexit w/glee. Your taxes would likely go up as California subsidizes red states; for every dollar in taxes to the feds Cali pays, it gets back about 90 cents. The (mostly) Southern states get $3-8 back for every dollar of taxes paid in. So if Cali goes, your taxes, if you live in a red state, will go up, as we will no longer be allowing you to freeload off of us. Also lost will be the worlds high tech center, where 60% of venture capital in the US goes to. This will hurt the rest of the US, as investment in new technologies dropos by 60%. Nor would we be ruled by easily bought rural conservative states like Montana or Wyoming, which have, per voters, 98.5% more voting power, despite having 98.% fewer people. We would be happy to leave the ugly mess that is the Divided State of America and keep our money at home. We have had 3 straight years of hugh surpluses, which would increase even more if we were not dragged down by the dependent states, almost all of which are Republican. How happy will you be when they raise your taxes? red.blue? go ahead and die already. thats the game that got us into this mess. idiot. I repeat: if California left the Union, taxes would rise, investment would fall. Would you like that? That you resort to gutter sniping means I win. YES I would like that. Some people live by more than dollars and cents. Obviously this would not register w/a complete hack like yourself. Totally brainwashed and incapable of independent thought. S0 brainwashed you dont even KNOW it, you are a sad case. I would pray for you but it would do little good, after 70 yrs you are a lost cause. Repent, love not the world, and its MATERIAL things. When you resort to personal insults, you lose. How Christian is that? A quote by Thomas Jefferson Give me just one generation of youth, and Ill transform the whole world. When quoting Jefferson, it is important to remember he was one of the largest slave owners and in his will, did NOT free his slaves. He recommended selling 5 yr old slave children, as a good business model. In more recent history, 4million have died in US criminal wars in Vietnam, Iraq, and other nations. Bush II lied to start a war that has killed nearly a million innocent people. Trump wants to bomb Iran (why else would he surround himself with Woolsey, Flynn, and Bolton?) which would start WWIII, since both Russia and China are mliitary allies of Iran. If you are blaming Lenin for the deaths during the Russian Civil War, do you also blame Lee or lincoln for the deaths of the War for Freedom? It was Jesus who turned children against their parents; a Childrens bill of rights protects children. The Sword of the Gospel If you are not abusing your children, you have nothing to fear. Child abuse means different things to different groups. Children are the easiest to be victimized because they are defenseless. Anyone who would inflict suffering on children is pure EVIL and God reserves a special place for them. We have too many blended domicile arrangements in this country which exposes itself to abuse however subtle or overt. Removing children from a potentially harmful environment should be done with the skill of a surgeon because children ripped out of their only known environment can be as traumatic as leaving them to deal with abuse. The track record of CPS has not been good nationwide, as too many kids have been swallowed into the system only to be shuttled around like so much baggage. Any government intervention must have as its ultimate goal to re-establish a healthy family environment. Removing children from a potentially harmful environment should be done with the skill of a surgeon because children ripped out of their only known environment can be as traumatic as leaving them to deal with abuse. To describe rescuing a child from abusive parents as ripped out is absurd. Children who are badly abused live two decades less than those in nurturing environments. When dad is in prison and mom is a drunk, the child has no chance at a decent life unless the community intervenes. I taught kids from foster homes, many of whom were abused there. But they were in foster homes because their natural parents were in prison, totally messed up, or violent. Many families are harmful to their chilldren. That is the basis of the need for intervention. And it is going to spread like a cancer all over the country unless believers repent Always be a light that is shininginthedark Thats funny: human rights viewed as a cancer, a thought worthy of Hitler. I will bet Mao ans Stalin are your favorites No, why would you bet that? I oppose both state and corporate tyranny. My favorites are Tom Paine and the anarchists who opposed both the bourgoisie and the Marxists. Who are your favorites? The state of CA needs to butt out of the parent-child relationship, including mandating vaccines. Millions are abused each year by parents. Children have rights too. Parents who abuse should be punished. Are you one of them. Vaccines can be opted out. I lived thru the polio epidemic, which effected my dad and several class mates. Safe vaccines have save millions of lives.we all disapprove of vaccines with mercury, etc, which was taken out of childrens vaccines (except flu, which can be requested without mercury) in 2000. Too many lies. Children have rights; vaccines are a criitcal part of public health. Dont throw out the baby with the bath water. No, I am not a paid shill tho I will take donations. With all these vaccines and medications we should be the healthiest nation on earth. Unfortunately the opposite is true as well as our life spans are getting shorter each year Save your time, u cant get through to statists, Everything that the govt touches turns to poo and they are attached to the teet for life, its must be a communicable disease out there on the left coast. Is that a red bone hound ? No, he is a black and tan coonhound. thank u 4 asking though We already have laws about those things. There is no need to give children these vague, Open-ended rights. Please present evidenceyou are just making stuff up. Prove me wrong. Can human rights have too much support? I curious, what do you think CPS already does? I have 2 things to say : Stay away from Californication 2- Keep your f-ing hands off my kids Capisce`? Sour grapes: California is a wild success. And they are not YOUR kids! They have rights which you must honor. Gangster talk becomes you. I pity your children! They are my kids and Ill keep them out of California No, the truth is that the North had all but ended slavery and the southern states wer based on slavery. The US census of 1800 shows about 36,000 slaves in the North and 600,000 in the South. In order for the slave owners who wrote the Constitution to control the new nation and protect slavery, they created the 3/5 rule and Electoral College to give them, with fewer citizens, control.. Jefferson, like many slave owners, had condemend slavery but claimed that the slaves were sub-human, incapable of liberty or self-government. Franklin, the head of the Philadelphia Aboliton Society, owned slaves. Most in the North opposed slavery, which was being grandfagthered out, and that is why the southern slave owners created mechanisms to block a democratic Republic, where they would have lost. Lenin has nothing to do with it. Your lies about Lenin are comicalbut its a red herring, a dodge from facing the truth. Government can kill and it can protect. All these wars have been started by people who were NOT elected democratically, from Hitler to Bush. If yhou dont like government, I urge you to move to Afghanistan, Somalia, or Libya or Ukraine, which have failed or ineffectual governments. Great comment. I have a friend who worked for CPS before, and he told me that they are not only corrupt, but also if you try to expose the corruption you are told to shut up or lose your job. We are living through the last throes of the the authoritarian one-size-fits-all societies. The absurdity of this nonsense; the fact that it is about enslavement (of the child and the parents), not rights at all. Laugh at it! It has just about finished running its course.Its the end of the world as we know it.and I feel fine.(REM) 
2	Prince Charles Demands That Muslim Leaders Stop Radicalizing Young People President Barack Obama has made it very clear that he is willing to stand behind Islam, no matter what consequences that may have for the American people. Fortunately, other leaders are stepping up to take action where he refuses to. According to reports, Prince Charles of the United Kingdom is currently in the middle of a tour of the Middle East, where he is expected to deliver a strong message to Muslim leaders regarding radical Islam. Sources believe that the Prince will demand that Muslim leaders stop radicalizing young people and start respecting Western values. The strong stance against radical Islam and in defense of Christianity has landed Prince Charles the nickname defender of the faith. Prince Charles made the controversial comment that Christians have been in the region first, hundreds of years before the arrival of Islam. He has also made abundantly clear his disapproval of the Islamic State and has argued that if this continues, there may soon come a day when there are no more Christians in the Middle East. The tragedy is even greater because Christians have been in the Middle East for 2,000 years, before Islam came in the 8th Century, he argued. During his trip, Prince Charles will first meet with King Abdullah II in Jordan. Then he will travel to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. What do you think? Do you support Prince Charles on his mission? 
1	After years of declining attendance and an even worse overall record, the Orioles made the bold decision to limit their baseball-playing operations and embark on a grand experiment: converting to a large-scale abattoir. Here's a look at their projected 2011 lineup and the new roles each player might play. Brian Roberts: second baseman, skull-splitter One of the longest tenured Orioles, injuries and age have deteriorated Roberts' skill-set somewhat. But that doesn't mean he can't take a wedge to behead and really spill some cow brain. Adam Jones: center fielder, assembly line Jones finally broke through in 2010, showing the ability to sort through vast wads of meat and find the small flecks of bone that gets in there. He'll be patrolling the pork run. Vladimir Guerrero: designated hitter, large cleaver The O's most recent acquisition, Guerrero will swing the 'big blade' at anything, anywhere, anytime. Don't even try and sneak a large beef ribcage by him: he will split it in two with one swing. Nick Markakis: right fielder, quality control Markakis has shown a tendency to walk, so look for the O's to get his keen eye above the floor, making sure the rest of the O's keep the floors clear of blood and offal. Mark Reynolds: third baseman, industrial equipment cleaning Reynolds holds a variety of major league strikeout records, so new manager Red Ballard would be wise to pick his spots and make sure his hot cornerman doesn't have to do much swinging. Manning the toxic chemical pool that serves to decontaminate the large machines might be just the spot for Mark. Derrek Lee: first baseman, shank saw Another new addition, Lee's best years are behind him. The shank saw is about all he can do at this point, so just set him down, let him run lamb leg after lamb leg through the blood-spitter and let him do what he does. Nolan Reimold: left fielder, dry curing Reimold had a rough sophomore effort after an encouraging rookie season, and brings with him the guts and steely mentality needed to watch animal parts dry out and shrivel before his very eyes. O's are expecting big things of him in the smokehouse. Matt Wieters: catcher, hog runner Wieters will have to get the pigs from pen to pen to grinder if he wants to earn back the tremendous trust the Orioles put in him. Look for his pitch-calling to improve as he learns each pig's tendencies. J.J. Hardy: shortstop, shaver Brought in to shore up the O's complete inability to get a cow and sheep properly shorn: the O's led the league in most gristle and hair per cubic foot of meat. Hardy takes pride in the wide range of animals he can shave. 
3	Two More Victims Of The Retail Apocalypse: Family Dollar And Coldwater CreekMichael Snyder In the post-2008 era, dollar stores had generally been one of the few bright spots in the retail industry. As millions of Americans fell out of the middle class, they were looking to stretch their family budgets as far as possible, and dollar stores helped them do that. It would be great if we could say that the reason why Family Dollar is doing so poorly is because average Americans have more money now and have resumed shopping at retailers that target the middle class, but that is not happening. Rather, as you will see later in this article, things just continue to get even worse for Americans at the low end of the income scale. I was also surprised to learn that Coldwater Creek is closing all of their stores Of course the fact that a couple of major retailers are closing stores is nothing new. This kind of thing happens year after year. But what we are witnessing right now is really quite startling. So many retailers are closing so many stores that it is being called a retail apocalypse. In a previous article entitled This Is What Employment In America Really Looks Like, I detailed how major U.S. retailers have already announced the closing of thousands of stores so far this year. If the economy really was getting better, this should not be happening. So why are so many stores closing? Well, the truth is that it is because the middle class is dying. With each passing day, more Americans lose their place in the middle class and fall into poverty. The following is an excerpt from the story of one man that this has happened to. His recent piece in the Huffington Post was entitled Next Friday, Ill Be Living In My Car There are millions upon millions of Americans that can identify with what that man is going through. Once upon a time, they were living comfortable middle-class lifestyles, but now they will take any jobs that they can get. Just today I came across a statistic that shows the massive shift that is happening in this country. A decade ago, the number of women working outnumbered the number of women on food stamps by more than a 2 to 1 margin. But now the number of women on food stamps actually exceeds the number of women that have jobs. Wow. How could things have changed so rapidly over the course of just one decade? And sadly, things continue to go downhill. Every day in America, more good jobs are being sent out of the country or are being replaced by technology. I really like how James Altucher described this trend the other day There is so little loyalty in corporate America these days. If you work for a major corporation, you could literally lose your job at any moment. And you can be sure that there is someone above you that is trying to figure out a way to accomplish the tasks that you currently perform much more cheaply and much more efficiently. Most big corporations dont care if you are personally successful or if you are able to take care of your family. What they want is to get as much out of you as possible for as little money as possible. This is a big reason why 62 percent of all Americans make $20 or less an hour at this point. The quality of our jobs is going down, but the cost of living just keeps going up. Just look at what is happening to food prices. For a detailed examination of this, please see my previous article entitled Why Meat Prices Are Going To Continue Soaring For The Foreseeable Future. As the middle class slowly dies, less people are able to afford to buy homes. Mortgage originations at major U.S. banks have fallen to a record low, and the percentage of Americans that live in high-poverty neighborhoods is rising rapidly If nothing is done about the long-term trends that are slowly strangling the middle class to death, all of this will just be the beginning. We will see millions more Americans lose their jobs, millions more Americans lose their homes and millions more Americans living in poverty. The United States is being fundamentally transformed, and very few people are doing much of anything to stand in the way of this transformation. Decades of incredibly foolish decisions are starting to catch up with us, and unless something dramatic is done right away, all of these problems will soon get much, much worse.

1	City Lights, the eternal Charlie Chaplin classic heralded by film scholars as a poignant and seminal work of 20th-century comic realism, was reportedly enjoyed by 24-year-old web designer Ross Strickland Tuesday. 'Nice,' Strickland said as the credits rolled on Chaplin's magnum opus, a masterpiece of American cinema that was decades ahead of its time and whose themes of civic duty, compassion for the disabled, and honesty in business are just as relevant now as they were in 1931. 'I liked it.' Strickland later added that he found the silent feature's groundbreaking ending, which was meticulously choreographed by Chaplin in one of the greatest achievements of the filmmaker's 75-year career, 'good.' 
2	Obama Just Bought A New House... But Theres Something Very Odd, Look Very Closely Throughout his two terms as president, Barack Obama has lectured the American people about the importance of embracing diversity. Thats why Obama has just made a very interesting choice for his next home. According to reports from Daily Caller, the Obamas just bought their fifth home this week in Rancho Mirage, a small golf resort town near Palm Springs. The town is only 1.5 percent black and 88 percent white. Clearly, Obama has chosen to live in a wealthy community instead of a diverse one. Rancho Mirage is also the home to 12 golf courses, which is one of Obamas favorite hobbies. As we know, he spends a good amount of time playing golfat least now it wont be paid for by the American public. In the latest census, 88.7 percent of the population in Rancho Mirage was white, with 81.7 percent registering as non-Hispanic white. Only 1.5 percent of the local population is African American. Clearly, the Obamas do value diversity as much as they pretend to. What do you think? Are you excited to see the Obamas leave the White House? 
2	A Hidden Camera Captures A Nursing Home Employee Doing Something Unthinkable To An 84 Year Old Woman This disgusting video of a nursing home caregiver beating an 84-year-old woman has gone viral, and residents of the Berea Gardens Retirement Foundation in East London are furious. The video shows a caregiver punching and kicking Hope Shepherd, after Shepherd refuses to get into bed. The 84-year-old tries time and time again to stand up and walk away from the confrontation. When Shepherd tries to fight back, the caregiver elbows her in the back of the head. Unfortunately, that was just the beginning. Watch the video below. Should this nurse be put in jail? 
3	Paradigms Of ControlJon David Miller Feudalism In primitive group consciousness, individual pursuits were minimal. A person with intelligence, character, skill and strength filled the role of leadership for group decision making. To the mythic mind, the environment seemed to be affected by unpredictable spirits. Practices developed to honor or appease them. There may have been an intuitive shaman who would guide the community in numinous spiritual matters. Leaders realized the benefit early on of their people being calmed and mystified by an adept at handling what the people did not understand and thus feared. Spiritual guides or priests operated by the good graces of the ruler, so they would not rock the boat much. Eventually the leadership organized the group to better protect or expand its territory. The leader became more powerful and wanted to extend that power to his offspring. Protection of wealth and power became important to the rulers. As kings and queens rewarded descendants and key loyal warriors with land, wealth and the honor of nobility, feudalism was established. The landed aristocracy garnered fees from the serfs toiling on their land, and paid taxes to the layers of nobles above them, including the king and queen. Gradually religion became an institutionalized method for perpetuating a common paradigm to keep the people in order. The sacred establishment and its doctrines and priests presented the social conditioning for the family and beyond. People worked in their individual daily activities and came together for religious rituals and celebrations. The nobility and a few other insiders had been invited into secret societies where occult traditions and practices behind religions were taught. The leaders of secret societies made plans to keep themselves in power, fashioning more sophisticated paradigms of control and grander psyops to manipulate the population. They developed strategies of politics, law, finance and mass mind control to consolidate and maintain their dominance. Controlling basic needs is a key tenet of dominating a captive population. In feudalism, the land, the food, the resources, the military and even the religious priesthood were all controlled by the royal court and its minions. Democracy, Law Finance Moving from feudalism to the new paradigm of democracy, they could offer a political system of majority vote that seemed to give the people the power to elect their own government leaders. By selecting the candidates and guiding the process from behind the scenes using bribery, threat, propaganda, assassination and powerful mind control methods, while keeping the people as uninformed and ignorant as possible, the elites gradually arranged to have puppets in nearly all key government positions. The manipulation of law from all angles has led to a legal environment that serves the elites well. They control numerous lawmakers as well as many of those who adjudicate the law. Lobbying to have laws made or revised in their favor, they have encouraged the development of regulatory bureaucracies to limit their own competitors, while they favor divisive competition in business, politics, sports, etc., among their subjects. Through fractional reserve banking, financing and other ventures, and the establishment of privately controlled central banks, the elite powers regained the controlling position through the financial realm. Employing bribery or threat they got officials to contract with them to issue nations currencies as loans. The National Debt paradigm as well as the concept of the fiat dollar debt note, have been used by the banking powers to control governments and their populations. The U.S. dollar has the all-seeing eye pyramid, a common occult symbol, on the back. Similarly the bankers have used the credit / debt tool to gain control of property and resources, and to trap people in their corporate work system. The Corporate Paradigm Another of the greatest concepts the controllers developed was that of the corporation. A corporation is a legal entity, a fictional stand-in for a person. It has powers and liabilities independent of its stockholders, board executives and employees. The main purpose of a corporation is to control an operation of business activity, while limiting the liability of the owners or administrators, primarily the board of directors and officers. The corp is an entity of its own, and if it gets in trouble it is usually only the corp that has to deal with it or get penalized. The corporation normally has the hierarchical structure of a pyramid, a favorite image of the esoteric societies. This is not unlike the royal courts of feudalism. The topmost controllers of the Transnational Interlocking Corporate Kingdom behind the global corporate system actually include among them those of royal blood and wealth. Corporate executives enjoy being in charge of making decisions and setting policies. They like to keep expanding the realm under their control, similar to a feudal noble being master of their domain. Most of what is available in the U.S. marketplace, and most of the world, is produced and/or sold by a corporation. Almost every common business, union, educational institution, church and organization, including governments, is a corporation. Nearly every product, service, food concept, medicine, toy, movie, song, celebrity, candidate and personality, that becomes known to the general public, goes through the normal corporate process of analysis, R D, market research, packaging, branding, marketing, and, if necessary, spin or repositioning. The commercial areas of nearly every town look pretty much the same. You find mostly the same corporate stores, the same restaurants, the same cinemas, the same auto services, the same gasoline companies, and the same corporate brands in supermarkets, convenience stores and other home product outlets. Almost every home is a model of corporate product development, promotion and merchandizing, from the furnishings, to the refrigerator and kitchen cupboards and the food products in them, and also in the bathroom, the basement, the yard and the garage. Corporations dominate every major industry, including finance, oil and energy, chemicals, mining, metals, war, transportation, communications, medicine, computers, technology, news, entertainment and more. The corporate news broadcasts only what they want us to know or believe, or what will keep us apathetic, and keep certain things under wraps. Predictive programming is used in the news, TV programs, movies, etc., to present memes and serve psyops. Most charities, foundations, arts cultural organizations, churches, social groups, service organizations, etc., are not-for-profit corporations with a board of directors and officers. A non-profit operates in a similar style to a for-profit corporation. Instead of stockholders, most non-profits have members or supporters. Some non-profits are very embedded in the corporate world. A number of charities, foundations and educational institutions are heavily supported by big corps, their execs and management. There are numerous non-profits that are operated to foster circumstances favorable to profit making corporations related by interlocking boards. Corporate Government The federal government of the United States was replaced with a corporate form during the years after the Civil War. Before long state and local governments were manipulated into following suit. All of these government corporations are interrelated and they often work together. The corporate model of government administration utilizes various departments, agencies and bureaucracies, many with revenue generating activities, including licenses and fees, income taxes, property taxes, sales or excise taxes and fines and penalties. One or more of these are employed at every level of government. There is a great deal of crossover of top corporate execs into high level government positions and back to the companies, often in the same industry to which the government job is related. Modern corporate government is a giant inefficient business with the luxury of compelled revenues, similar to the forced taxation and penalties by kings and emperors. Enforcement agents are in place to maintain a high level of compliance in paying taxes and to seek out violations of statutory regulations and administer fines. Further, the U.S. government controls most all of the land in the nation, nearly all of several western states. State and local governments own a good deal of land as well. The individual citizen who has paid off a mortgage and believes that they finally own the land they occupy, is ultimately subject to the eminent domain of multiple layers of corporate government. Meanwhile, government charges taxes for using the land and its improvements, somewhat like lease payments. Like the kings of old, the corporate state compels massive financial support from its subjects, and uses some of its resources to develop tighter surveillance and controls on the population. Controlled Poisoned A modern lifestyle has been fashioned by the elite controllers in which distribution of scarce fuel, remotely delivered metered energy, commercially engineered food, medicine and access to avenues of communication, are all owned and controlled by their corporate system. Sugar, corn syrup, Aspartame, MSG, GMOs, preservatives, dyes, BPA in packaging, and other poisons, are in much of the food supply. Public water is a chemical cocktail containing especially toxic chlorine and fluoride, as well as traces of agricultural, industrial and medical chemicals. Chemtrails fill the skies a few days a week in most areas. Pharmaceutical medicine is a key tool in the controllers tool bag. Most drugs do not correct health problems. They simply mask the symptoms. Drug side effects and interactions are major detriments to health. Health issues, often medically caused, preoccupy and stress many people, and waste massive amounts of time and attention. Children are being victimized early by administration of psychotropic medicines, often requested by schools to help manage behavior. Their brain is usually already impaired before they get to school by the vaccinations beginning at birth. Public poisoning is done on purpose to drive medical profits, decrease fertility and reduce the population. Through a birth certificate, social security number, drivers license, auto registration, professional license, business license, bank account, credit accounts, credit bureau profile, utilities accounts, insurance policies, securities holdings, passport, and/or various taxation accounts, etc., as well as by exchanges within the marketplace, almost everyone has a corporate identity. Universal health care, dietary practices, family size, child rearing, lifestyle and more are coming to be managed by the ever more dominating bureaucracies. Travel, utility use, consumption and health care support will be rationed according to predetermined limits. Even length of life could be preset by genetic programming or another eugenics protocol. What we have been taught and thus think we know about science has been falsely manipulated to create a powerful advantage for those in control. They have knowledge and technology far above what they allow even those in science-related education and careers to know, except for piecemeal information on a top-secret, need-to-know, non-disclosure-or-else-serious-penalty basis. Global Paradigms Routinely, there are little publicized meetings and agreements between government officials of various nations that are rarely subject to critical review. There have been many unopposed small steps, seemingly of minor importance, toward a global corporate state. Those behind this are strategic and deliberate in their progress, and they have a very long-term view that spans generations. They try to gauge how much the public will accept at any point; they set themselves up for rationalization and deniability; and they create manipulative circumstances that make their solutions more palatable. Based on the thesis, antithesis, synthesis dialectical concept of European philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, the elite tricksters employ a strategy of alternating strokes, first slightly this way, then slightly that way. They move back and forth with problems and reactions, raising one arm then the other, creating a threat from one direction then another, and offering their preset solutions. The synthesis between two pre-selected alternatives is usually the goal. In this way the controllers guide the course of events so their solutions seem acceptable to enough people that their policies are gradually enacted without evoking a rebellion. Even better if they can get the people to request that something be done, in response to which they roll out the preset paradigm. As an example of their use of the Hegelian dialectic philosophy, they have used methods of socio-economic organization they developed to divide and conquer the world. Capitalism is private ownership of property and means of production primarily by individuals or corporations. Business is developed with either ones own funds or other peoples money through selling stock or borrowing. With socialism and communism there is community ownership of property and means of production, which is usually by the state. In practice, a communist state may be controlled by totalitarian dictators. Setting capitalism against communism was the basis for the Cold War build up of militaries, nuclear weapons, technologies and espionage. With the Hegelian formula: Thesis: Corporate Capitalism + Antithesis: Communism/Socialism Synthesis: Corporate Statist Communitarianism Communitarianism is a softer sounding version of collective ownership of property and means of production, and operation of the government, with a focus on costly limitation on the use of resources in the face of the false threat of human caused climate change. However, through regulation and control of a hypnotized populace, and a corporate structure crossing traditional lines between business and government, using the propaganda of saving us from disaster with a one world community agenda, communitarianism would also become a monolithic totalitarian highly controlled state. While promoting the paradigms of sustainability and reducing overpopulation, the global elite are consolidating their ownership and/or control of oil, natural gas, water, land, farms and forests in the United States and around the world. It is important to learn how they are using Agenda 21 of the United Nations to redesign life as we have known it toward a fully controlled society. Communitarianism, communism, socialism, capitalism, corporatism and even democracy, are all conceptual and organizational tools in the psyop game bag of the power controllers. Fraud Tyranny Unfortunately, now the level of criminal fraud of the banksters is undermining the entire world economy. Economic collapse could be a prelude to global tyranny. The issuing of subprime mortgages, and the securitizing and sale of bundles of these to companies, pension funds and governments all over the world, along with the associated marketing of shaky derivative hedge contracts, made the financial marketplace a gambling casino, destroying the real estate market and the economy along with it. Many have lost their homes and jobs with this fraud. It now appears that rebellion is possibly being purposely evoked as a reaction to problems concocted by these tricksters. Order out of Chaos is a key Illuminati principle that coincides with Hegels philosophy. Stir up trouble, generate a disturbing reaction, offer an appealing solution. This is how false flag events and the preplanned reactions to them are used. Insurrection would set up martial law as the solution. This is considered to be a possible method for their final implementation of obvious tyranny. At the same time, many are concerned that the powers that be may be moving toward World War III. War has been one of the main paradigms of control throughout history. Strategic Operations There has been a continuing long-term gradual movement in the direction of accomplishing the goal of global government. The controllers have used the threat of terrorism and false flag events to justify expanding security measures. The security state is now full blown. There are cameras all over the cities, on the streets, in stores, in public buildings, also on the highways, and on many computers, very nearly like the society depicted in George Orwells 1984. Cell phone calls, texts, emails, Internet browsing, social networking sites, and purchases are all monitored by computers looking for suspicious or incriminating key words, products, services or relationships. Travel and whereabouts are tracked by global positioning, license plate reading, and even facial and body recognition and iris scans. Thus the power controllers have used a variety of paradigms, primarily the corporate pyramidal structure, employing these and other mind control tools with strategic propaganda to divide and conquer, and to organize the Transnational Interlocking Corporate Kingdom for ever more effective control of governments and populations in The New World Order Empire.

1	Tom Collins, a 49-year-old data technician and father of seven, announced Monday that model railroading is a harsh mistress. 'Model railroading, like the Sea, can be a kind lady, but make no mistake, she can also be a cold and angry harpy,' Collins said. 'In times of yore, men tested their mettle against the Sea, but in these modern times, a man proves his virility one way only: building, maintaining and running a model-railroad set-up in his garage or den.' Collins advised using Testor's-brand epoxy glue for miniature trees and letting them dry for at least 24 hours. 
1	Bracing himself as he monitored an ongoing interrogation from behind a two-way mirror, Detective James Harpin of the Philadelphia Police Homicide Unit nervously crossed his arms as Julian Calandra, the suspect in a recent string of disappearances, slowly swiveled his chair in his direction and began addressing him directly. Lets dispense with the formalities, shall we? the suspect said as he calmly clasped his hands and peered at the reflective side of the mirror, breaking into a thin smile before adding, What, you dont think I know youre there? I respect you, Detective, I really do. You tracked me this farnot an easy task, I assure youand now Im finally in handcuffs, just like you always wanted. But what youre doing wont work. No, it wont work at all. In fact, Id say the game has only just begun. At press time, Harpin had reportedly broken protocol and stormed into the investigation room after Calandra suggested that if he really wants to know where the missing women are, he should ask his very pretty daughter.

1	Voicing their calls for heavy distortion and completely badass riffs, millions of Americans across the country fervently demanded a significant increase in the number of mind-blowing guitar solos Monday, sources nationwide confirmed. Highlighting an unmistakable dearth of epic, amazing solos in recent years, Americans of all ages have reportedly called on the nations musicians to play technically difficult licks on their electric guitars, preferably at lightning-fast speeds, stressing the importance that the solos be both loud as hell and totally insane. When I turn on the radio, I want to hear a killer solo where the guy just totally shreds it hard, said 36-year-old Kent, WA resident Michael Pellone, echoing the sentiments of the vast majority of citizens from coast to coast. I want a solo so fast you can barely see the guys fingers movingwhere the guys up on stage, one foot on top of a speaker, and just going nuts all over the guitar. Thats what I want. And not one of those short solos either, Pellone continued enthusiastically. Its gotta be, like, three minutes. Three minutes of this guy fucking wailing up there and making his guitar do those cool squealing sounds you hear a lot. Yeah, it has to have a lot of that. According to thousands of amped-up sources nationwide, a guitar solo in which the guy bends the strings really far while leaning his head back and grimacing is currently a top national priority. Additionally, citizens from all 50 states emphasized the importance of the guitarist running all over the stage, jumping off an amplifier, and then sliding on his knees through the lead singers legs while rocking out hard the entire time. The U.S. populace also insisted that the solos contain several sections in which the guitarist uses his right hand to tap notes on the neck of the instrument just like Eddie Van Halen does in Eruption. I like when theyre just tearing it up on the low part of the guitar, but then they suddenly go up and play on the high partthey should do that lots of times, said 31-year-old Mark Kessek of West Orange, NJ, adding that he really likes how it sounds when guitarists do long slides up and down the strings, so the solo should include a few of those. I also like when they do that wah-wah effect thingthat has to be in there too. But the main thing is that it has to be really fast. So fast youre just like, Whoa, fuck yeah! Yeah! added Kessek, excitedly making devil horns with his hands. Pantera! According to a recent poll, 59 percent of Americans vehemently demanded that guitarists rip it up on a sweet double-neck guitar, frequently switching between the two fretboards like its nothing, while 84 percent called for an interlude midway through the solos during which another guitarist walks over and plays a cool harmony part alongside the lead. A further 73 percent said guitarists must at some point strum a really high note and simply let it ring while holding the guitar up with one hand, preferably while looking up and nodding at the crowd. Moreover, 100 percent of respondents said that the guitarist should hit the whammy bar at the end of a particularly sick riff, with all respondents agreeing that such a maneuver would kick ass. What they should do is make the whole stage dark and then theres a big spotlight on the guitarist guy, and theres all this fog and smoke coming up around him too, said 42-year-old Houston resident Samantha Pragle, noting that, ideally, the guitar should have some cool flames painted on it. And it doesnt just have to be one solo per song. A song could have a whole bunch of solos in it. Maybe the entire song could be a solo! Man, can you imagine how insane that would be? That would fucking rule! While unanimous in their demands for more unbelievable, earsplitting solos, the American public is reportedly divided over how the solos should end. According to sources, some have pressed for several amplifiers to be wildly kicked over after the last note, though others are staunchly in favor of seeing the soloist use his guitar strap to throw his instrument around his body, catch it, and then seamlessly transition into playing the songs final chorus. I love guitar solos! I like when they play the guitar behind their head, just like this! said Philadelphia accountant Alan Hurley, 57, closing his eyes and rapidly moving his fingers across an imaginary fretboard while making guitar sounds with his mouth. Wa-na-na, neeow, wa-na, wa-now! Wa-na-na-na, Hurley added. Na-na-neeow, wah-a-wow! At press time, tens of millions of enthusiastic Americans had reportedly cued up a YouTube video of Steve Vais For The Love Of God and cranked it all the way up.

3	All-Time High Unemployment: The Economic Depression In Europe Just Keeps Getting DeeperMichael Snyder The funny thing is that the mainstream media will barely call what is going on in Europe a recession even though the unemployment rates in both Spain and Greece are now much higher than anything that the United States ever experienced during the Great Depression of the 1930s. There havent been as many headlines about the financial crisis in Europe lately because the ECB has been papering over the debt problems of the periphery (at least for the moment), but the economic conditions on the ground for average Europeans just continue to get even worse. Later on in this article, you will read about a 25-year-old Spanish man with three college degrees that moved to London in a desperate search for a job who is now cleaning up poop for a living. The economic collapse of Europe continues to march on, and there is no end in sight. All you have to do is look at the latest unemployment numbers to realize that things are getting worse in Europe. In Italy, the unemployment rate is up to 12.5 percent. In January 2012, less than two years ago, it was sitting at just 8.9 percent. In Greece, the unemployment rate is up to an astounding 27.6 percent. In January 2012, it was sitting at just 21.4 percent. In Spain, the unemployment rate is up to 26.6 percent. In January 2012, it was sitting at just 22.8 percent, and all the way back in January 2008 it was just 8.6 percent. Unemployment among the under-25s rose by 22,000 in September to 3,548,000 nudging up youth jobless rate to 24.1%. In France, the youth jobless rate jumped from 25.6% to 26.1%, while in Italy it increased from 40.2% to 40.4%. But as bad as those numbers are, they are nothing compared to what is going on in Spain and Greece. In Spain, the youth unemployment rate is up to 56.5 percent, and in Greece the youth unemployment rate is up to 57.3 percent. And of course unemployment is not the only problem that the European economy is dealing with right now. The following are some more facts about the European economy that show that the economic depression in Europe just keeps getting deeper European car sales are on pace to hit a 23-year low in 2013. The percentage of bad loans in Spain has soared to a new all-time record high. The number of mortgage applications in Spain has fallen 90 percent since the peak of the market. Citigroup is projecting that the unemployment rate in Greece will reach 32 percent in 2015. Over the last several years, Italy has experienced the biggest collapse in GDP growth that it has ever seen. Overall, the GDP of Italy has contracted by about 8 percent since 2008. The number of unemployed workers in Cyprus is now five times higher than it was before the financial crisis of 2008. It is being projected that Spains debt to GDP ratio will rise to nearly 100 percent by the end of next year. The debt-to-GDP ratio of Portugal is already up to 123 percent. -The debt-to-GDP ratio of Italy is already up to 127 percent. Even though Greece has implemented a whole host of austerity measures, the debt-to-GDP ratio of Greece is now up to 156 percent. But what these numbers cannot really communicate is the tremendous amount of pain and despair that millions upon millions of Europeans are experiencing right now. For example, consider the story of Benjamin Serra Bosch, a 25-year-old Spanish man that moved to London in a desperate search for a job. He has three college degrees, including a Masters Degree from the IEBS Business School in Barcelona. The following is a rough translation of a message that he recently posted on Facebook My name is Benjamn Serra, I have two bachelor degrees and a masters degree, and I clean toilets. No, it is not a joke. I do it to pay the rent for my room in London. Ive been working in a famous chain of cafes in the United Kingdom since May, and for the first time today, after 5 months working there, I see it clearly. I have been cleaning toilets. My thought was: I received distinction in my two degrees and I clean other peoples poop in a country that isnt my own. Well, I also make coffee, clean the tables and wash cups. And I am not ashamed to do so. Cleaning is a very decent job. What embarrasses me is having to do so because no one has given me an opportunity in Spain. Like me, there are many Spaniards, especially in London. You are a plague, I was told once here. And lets not kid ourselves. We are not young people on an adventure to learn the language and have new experiences. We are immigrants. Ive always been very proud, I am not going to deny. Those who know me, you know. And I have to bust out a smile at customers who look over my shoulder as I am simply a barista (as they call it here). Some are so outrageous that it makes me want to pull out my University and master degrees and put them in their face. But it would not really do anything.It appears that those titles now only serve to clean the poop that I clean from the toilets in the cafe. A pity. I thought that it deserved something better after putting so much effort in my academic life. It seems that I was wrong. As economic conditions continue to decline all over Europe, anger and frustration with the European experiment continue to grow. UKIPs Nigel Farage expressed these sentiments very eloquently during a speech on the 23rd of October when he stated that what we are saying, large numbers of us from every single EU member state is: we dont want that flag, we dont want the anthem that you all stood so ram-rod straight for yesterday, we dont want EU passports, we dont want political union. Unfortunately, the elite of Europe are so obsessed with their little experiment that the only solutions to these economic problems that they are even willing to consider involve even more European integration. And Americans certainly should not be looking down their noses at what is happening in Europe. Economic conditions in both the United States and Europe have never even gotten close to where they were prior to 2008, and now the next major wave of the economic collapse is rapidly approaching. This is just the beginning. Things are going to get much worse in the years ahead. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

2	Watch: Fox News Host Stuns Viewers With What Will Really Happen If Hillary Is Elected The mainstream media seems to have focused in on Donald Trumps comments to a Muslim-American gold star family who lost their son in the war. Recently, Fox News Tucker Carlson attempted to frame the larger, broader issues America will be facing if Hillary Clinton is elected as our next president. This is a pivotal point in American history, Carlson told the hosts of Fox and Friends at the beginning of this week. He also claimed that while everyone is focused on [Hillarys] deficits as a person. The truth is its her policies. Shes going to open the borders, he argued, pointing to Clintons intention to continue President Obamas large-scale force for the resettlement of hundreds of thousands of refugees from the Middle East and Afghanistan. Carlson also expressed his concern that Clinton would have the responsibility of picking a replacement for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, and others who may pass away or resign. He argued Clinton would pack the Supreme Court and you are not going to have the same country. Carlson also argued that an imperfect Trump is a better option than a progressive Clinton. 
3	Secrets to a Long Healthy LifeAnna Hunt, Contributor Among the myths the studies shatter is that genetics alone account for advanced old age and that centenarians are the lucky few who have escaped major illness. Macleans.ca Boston University has created 3 groups for centenarians, individuals that live to be 100 years or older: Their research revealed some common characteristics among centenarians, including the following: Few centenarians are obese. In the case of men, they are nearly always lean. Substantial smoking history is rare. A preliminary study suggests that centenarians are better able to handle stress than the majority of people. At least 50% of centenarians have first-degree relatives and/or grandparents who also achieve very old age, and many have exceptionally old siblings. Many of the children of centenarians (age range of 65 to 82 years) appear to be following in their parents footsteps with marked delays in cardiovascular disease, diabetes and overall mortality. (Boston University School of Medicine) Its not that centenarians have had particularly healthy lifestyles, other than not smoking, but that they have positive outlooks, are generally optimistic and dont sweat the small stuff. Dr. Mark Nowaczynski, clinical director ofHouse Calls (Macleans.ca) Loma Linda University, a Seventh-day Adventist educational health-sciences institution in Southern California, is another organization that has been conducting studies since 1958 into life longevity and understanding how to avert age-related disease such as cancer. A group of researchers at Loma Linda suggests that a vegetarian diet is one of the keys to a longer lifespan. The Adventists beliefs forbid smoking and drinking, and encourage exercise, a vegetarian diet and a day of rest and reflection. Loma Linda started its Adventist Health Study 2 in 2002, with funding from the National Institutes of Health. The study is tracking 96,000 people in the US and Canada, half of whom are vegetarian. With the 20-year study half-way completed, the research reveals a considerably longer life-span for vegetarian Adventists than for other Californians. Vegetarian Adventist men live to an average of 83.3 years and vegetarian women 85.7 years 9.5 and 6.1 years, respectively, longer than other Californians. Principal investigator Gary E. Fraser, MD, PhD (Yahoo.com) The Adventist Health Study 2 also found that: Vegans are, on average, 30 pounds lighter than meat eaters. Vegans are also five units lighter on the BMI scale than meat-eaters. Vegetarians and vegans are also less insulin resistant than meat-eaters. For most of us, theres always room to improve daily activities in our pursuit of a healthy, long life. Its easy to get overwhelmed about what to focus on in order to build a strong foundation for good health. Think about starting with the basics. Eat your greens. Exercise. And dont sweat the small stuff. Sources: Anna Hunt is a writer and entrepreneur with over a decade of experience in research and editorial writing.

1	Solemn-faced sources confirmed today that you do not want to know anything at all about what is happening at this very moment to 36-year-old Saudi Arabian woman Assi Omran. According to reports, no matter what you think she might be going through, the reality is much worse, and you would unquestionably be better off just tuning this one out and focusing on something else entirely. Experts suggested that even a single glimpse of what shes enduring right now would become permanently ingrained in your mind and inflict severe emotional damageespecially if you knew what that man is about to do with the hot pan of boiling water hes just picked up from the stove, Jesusso, clearly, the less said the better, agreed? Others stated that if you stop to consider that Omran lives in a nation in which she cannot even legally leave her house without the permission of the man presently doing unspeakable things to her, you will likely not make it through the rest of your day without suffering a complete psychological breakdown. In addition, sources said youll feel better if you dont dwell on the fact that 14 million women live in Saudi Arabia and the same thing could happen to any one of them at any time. 
1	After winning his ninth $10 million lottery jackpot in as many weeks, North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il continues to be 'stunned' by his good luck. 'Certainly the fates smile with a benevolent countenance upon myself, the most Exalted Supreme Leader-For-Life of the great nation of Korea!' said Kim, who acts as Chairman of the National Democratic Council, Commander of the National Defense Commission, Supreme Director of the North Korean Powerball and MegaMillions Lotteries, and General Secretary of the Worker's Party of Korea. 'Truly, heaven has blessed me once again with great wealth, as well as the love of my people!' The dictator said the winnings come at a particularly fortuitous time, as he is currently broke after spending all of his previous eight jackpots on plutonium. 
2	It Was More Shocking Than His CMA ProtestsAlan Jackson Caused An Uproar With His Recent Actions Alan Jackson has been known to silently protest things that he disagrees with. Early on in his career he wore a cut off Hank Williams shirt on the red carpet for the CMAs. Then when he performed he made sure to show that he did not like singing to a track. Alan told his drummer to not have drumsticks in his hands. This was jus the first of Alans silent protests that quickly became known for. A few years later at the CMAs George Jones was only given one minute and thirty seconds to sing his song. Alan Jackson came on later and decided to sing the rest of his song. The crowd went wild when Alan began to sing. Alan Jackson has always stood up for what he believed in, but his most recent actions will give us a look into his personal life. Alan Jackson is set to release a documentary that focuses on his performance in Colorado. The documentary will feature his full performance, but will also provide fans with interviews of him and his family. Jackson discusses why he was known as an outlaw in country music, and what drove him to do the things he did. Jacksons fans cannot wait for the release of the DVD. Do you support Alan?

1	The number of athletes attempting to achieve increased composure and improved performance in clutch situations by injecting ice water into their veins has risen every year for the past decade, researchers said on Monday. 'Contrary to popular belief, ice water only runs naturally through the veins of a very small number of athletes,' said Dr. Doug Reynolds of the Duke Sports Medicine Center, citing Tiger Woods and Kobe Bryant as benchmark examples of natural ice-water retainers. 'Keep in mind that while ice water provides the body with necessary hydration, and is a completely legal substance, there's also a good chance these injections could send the body into an acute state of circulatory shock.' Researchers also found that the frequency of subcutaneous Gatorade injections in top athletes has gone down since those commercials aren't on as much as they used to be. 
1	Local man Kevin McCormick, 28, delivered a complete running commentary throughout a 12-minute search for the four-year-old, Velcro-fastened wallet he misplaced Sunday. McCormick looking on his record shelf, a place he told himself he was 'pretty sure' he left it. The narration began in the late afternoon, when McCormick, a part-time pet-store attendant, announced his intention to visit a local taqueria for lunch. It was then that he first audibly noticed the wallet was missing. 'Oh shit,' he said. 'I can't find my wallet.' McCormick then turned his attention to vocally describing the central task before himfinding the wallet in what would prove to be an exhaustive, continuous commentary on the nearly quarter-hour search. 'All right, Kevthink,' he began aloud. He then scanned the loose clothing and clutter around the one-bedroom apartment. 'When was the last time you saw it?' he asked, addressing himself in the second person. 'It was either in the bar,' McCormick replied, 'or it was in the taxi.' 'But [roommate] Mark [Borschandt] paid for the cab,' he announced to no one in particular. 'So it must've been the bar. I'll just call the bar.' McCormick quickly switched gears, making his way to his cell phone, last seen in the same jacket pocket where he had earlier expressed aloud a hope to find his wallet. 'With my luck, I lost my cell phone, too!' he said in an attempt to inject a degree of levity into the ongoing account. Retrieving the phone, he announced another disappointing development to the bare white walls of his kitchen. 'The bar doesn't open for another four hours, though,' he reported. McCormick summed up the day's events on the bar's answering machine and, with a renewed sense of accomplishment, once again addressed his empty apartment, adopting a more introspective style. McCormick in three of the estimated 38 different locations throughout his apartment where he searched for the wallet, carefully narrating the entire process. 'Did I leave it in [coworker Nelson] Duffy's building?' he inquired, opening and closing the refrigerator door. 'Because if I did, I can kiss the cash in it good-bye. Then again, that one time I dropped it on the street, I told myself the same thing, and I got every penny back,' he continued, providing relevant background and context to no one but himself. 'Okay, okay. What am I looking for? It's just a little black wallet,' he said in a forceful voice, and scanned the room with purpose. After nine fruitless minutes, in which many other possible locations of the wallet were audibly considered, McCormick's narration became progressively more dramatic, rising from a flat, carefully enunciated monotone to a passionate delivery, employing such oratorical flourishes as dramatic pauses, sudden bursts of emotion, and eventually unrestrained shouting. 'My fucking driver's license is in there, my paycheck is in there,' McCormick announced, reminding any potential listeners what was at stake should he fail to find the wallet. McCormickwho previously self-narrated the May 1997 retracing of his steps to his car keys, the August 2001 installation of a new surround-sound system, and the April 2005 account of a particularly challenging math problem encountered while preparing taxesdisplayed his ability to maintain a constant narration despite the growing demands of the search. 'Just talk it through, Kevin,' he said, struggling to maintain a calm, measured tone. 'Come on, it'll come.' 'I'm such a fucking idiot! How many times can I lose that fucking thing?' he said, turning to the open living room and gesturing to the invisible confidantes within. 'So stupid!' he yelled at himself. 'Think! Think!!' The narration reached a conclusion with the proclamation by McCormick that he had been defeated. 'I give up,' he said smiling, and sat Indian style on the floor in front of his television. 'I guess I just won't have a wallet. I guess it just fucking disappeared. Oh well.' As of press time, McCormick had made no follow-up remarks regarding the wallet and whether it had been found. 
3	German Political Adviser Claims US Considered Nuking AfghanistanBy Joshua Krause In recent years our government has apologized for these incidents, and has tried to convince us that its brutal nature is all in the past. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth; especially in regards to the use of nuclear weapons against civilian populations, which our government has never apologized for. This actually makes sense, since they probably dont even view mass civilian casualties as a crime in the first place. As our recent overseas wars have shown, our government still has no qualms about inflicting collateral damage, and no amount of apologizing for past crimes can cover up that fact. So, unfortunately, it shouldnt come as any surprise that the US government would consider using nuclear weapons in a modern conflict, which may have happened according to a recent article published in Der Spiegel. Make no mistake, our government is just as savage as it has always been. The United States considered using nuclear weapons against Afghanistan in response to the September 11 attacks, Der Spiegel reported on its website Saturday. Michael Steiner, who served as a political advisor to then-German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder, told the German daily that the nuclear option was one of the possibilities examined after the attacks. The papers were written, Steiner said when asked whether the U.S. was considered using nuclear weapons in response to the attacks orchestrated by Al-Qaidas Osama bin Laden, in which almost 3,000 people were killed. They had really played through all possibilities. Steiner added that Schroder had feared that the U.S., which was in a state of shock following the attacks, would overreact. Could you imagine? Our government may have actually considered using nukes against one of the poorest nations on the planet. What kind of sick mind would even put that option on the table? Unfortunately, this isnt the first time that our government has considered using nukes to quite literally level the playing field. President Eisenhower threatened to use nukes during the Korean War, if the cease-fire agreement fell through. President Johnson left the nuclear option on the table during the Vietnam War, when US Marines were under siege at Khe Sanh. Even Bush Sr. made it abundantly clear that if Saddam Hussein used any of his chemical or biological weapons during the Gulf War, that the Iraqis would feel the wrath of our nuclear arsenal. So this latest revelation isnt as shocking as it would be in a sane world. The US government is still the unhinged genocidal war machine that it was in previous eras. And now that tensions are rising with nuclear-armed Russia, we can only hope and pray that cooler heads will prevail once again. Image Credit: Anthony Freda Art 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 . Are Germans really questioning other nations brutality? Friggin hypocrites. 9/11 was done by Israel, Saudis, The U.S. Why is the inhumanly wicked lie of 9/11 still glossed over here, leaving readers to believe Bin Laden was the perpetrator? Yes, agree, that considering to nuke Afghanistan was horrific, but why not tell us too, that the same bstds thinking of nuking Afghanistan, were responsible for 9/11 and not Bin Laden! Jeez, especially as for some years now, how the US gov murdered their own people in cold blood, has been known all over the planet! Nuke Afghanistan? It ALREADY looks as if it had been nuked! The threat of nuclear weapons is always with us, as all options are always on the table as they say. After the false flag 911 attacks the use of a nuclear bomb in Afghanistan would have not only been a monumental criminal action in its own right, but would have ruined the Afghan poppy fields. We are all luck we have not been nuked by USA ..with Bombers flying around carrying Nukes The Russians save us from a Nuke war during Kennedy era Nuke the Arabs would only get them more fired up in a war that has been going on for 2000 yrswe need to Nuke any one pushing Any religion I believe it was a mistake by the U.S. in not using nuclear weapons against Iraq and Afganistan in the initial invasion stages in those countries. Many lives of our military were lost and/or permanently disabled as well as those of our allied countries because we didnt use all of Americas military arsenal to stop the evil Muslim leadership in those countries. The U.S. could have exterminated all radical Muslims in those countries as well as eliminating other radical Muslims, as in ISIS, who would fill the void. Now the empowerment has introduced another much more capable and determined evil player, Iran, no thanks to Obama the enabler. The best solution before Iran enables more radical extremist and terrorist Muslims to migrant into European countries and the U.S. our military should take a bold step in doing to Iran what they want to do to America but do it now before they have the nuclear capability. By unleashing our nuclear power now on Tehran, their military infrastructure, and all their nuclear facilities American could bring all the other extremist Muslim countries into thinking and knowing they could be the next country to feel the rath and determination of Americas military to the elimination of all Islamic terrorist and extremist Muslims who choose to force their believes on others. You should probably switch off the TV. Umm We DID Nuke them you guys. Ever hear of depleted uranium? Shock awe? Those flashes were thermite nano particles of still radioactive uranium. The both countries are covered in the dust of this stuff permanently contaminated. Soldiers who deployed into these areas breathed it in are dying of cancer. Birth defects have soared in scope number.

2	The View Could Get Cancelled After Mocking Jesus And The Bible Once again Rosie ODonnell and Whoopi Goldberg are finding themselves in hot water after comments they made on The View. According to reports, viewers are starting to speak out against debates and arguments that continuously mock Jesus and the Bible. Ratings for The View have plunged lately, due in large part to the loud-mouthed duo, who seem to constantly be bickering back and forth. According to reports, even audience members have complained that the two seem to interrupt interviewers as well. Now, some experts suspect that The View may be in their final season, especially if they cant find away to turn sentiment back around. That includes convincing producers to hold on to the show, as rumor has it they are just about fed up with the crew. Instead, ABC is considering extending Good Morning America. What do you think of The View? Is it overdue in being cancelled? 
1	Feeling refreshed after three days of camping in Georgias Oconee National Forest, members of the Prendergast family confirmed Monday they had spent a relaxing weekend destroying the great outdoors. Its nice every now and then to escape from the city, get outside, and take some time to really trash nature, said father of two Dan Prendergast, 49, remarking that the highlight of the trip was a morning hike during which his family was able to toss away their juice bottles, granola bar wrappers, and Ziploc sandwich bags at the summit of Burgess Mountain and along the banks of the Ocmulgee River. Nothing beats being out in the country and littering with the whole family. Its easy, too: We just pack up a couple disposable styrofoam coolers with food and drinks, load up the Chevy Suburban, and then drive out into the woods to pollute all that Mother Nature has to offer. While the Prendergasts all agreed the weekend trip was fun, they told reporters that by Sunday, they were ready to get back to damaging the environment from the comfort of their own 5,000-square-foot air-conditioned home. 
1	According to a report released Monday by the American Institute of Religions, the Church of Scientology, once one of the fastest-growing religious organizations in the U.S., is steadily losing members to the much newer religion Fictionology. The paperback that has already sold two million copies. 'Unlike Scientology, which is based on empirically verifiable scientific tenets, Fictionology's central principles are essentially fairy tales with no connection to reality,' the AIR report read. 'In short, Fictionology offers its followers a mythical belief system free from the cumbersome scientific method to which Scientology is hidebound.' Created in 2003 by self-proclaimed messiah Bud Don Ellroy, Fictionology's principles were first outlined in the self-help paperback Imaginetics: The New Pipe-Dream Of Modern Mental Make-Believe. Fictionology's central belief, that any imaginary construct can be incorporated into the church's ever-growing set of official doctrines, continues to gain popularity. Believers in Santa Claus, his elves, or the Tooth Fairy are permittedeven encouragedto view them as deities. Even corporate mascots like the Kool-Aid Man are valid objects of Fictionological worship. 'My personal savior is Batman,' said Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Greg Jurgenson. 'My wife chooses to follow the teachings of the Gilmore Girls. Of course, we are still beginners. Some advanced-level Fictionologists have total knowledge of every lifetime they have ever lived for the last 80 trillion years.' 'Sure, it's total bullshit,' Jurgenson added. 'But that's Fictionology. Praise Batman!' While the Church of Fictionology acknowledges that its purported worldwide membership of 450 billion is an invented number, the AIR report estimates that as many as 70 percent of the church's followers are former Scientologists. Church of Scientology public-relations spokesman Al Kurz said he was 'shocked' when he learned that Fictionology is approaching the popularity of his religion. A recent Fictionology rally in Clearwater, FL. 'Scientology is rooted in strict scientific principles, such as the measurement of engrams in the brain by the E-Meter,' Kurz said. 'Scientology uses strictly scientific methodologies to undo the damage done 75 million years ago by the Galactic Confederation's evil warlord Xenuwe offer our preclear followers procedures to erase overts in the reactive mind. Conversely, Fictionology is essentially just a bunch of make-believe nonsense.' Hollywood actor David McSavage, who converted to Fictionology last year, attempted to explain. 'Scientology can only offer data, such as how an Operating Thetan can control matter, energy, space, and time with pure thought alone,' McSavage said. 'But truly spiritual people don't care about data, especially those seeking an escape from very real physical, mental, or emotional problems.' McSavage added, 'As a Fictionologist, I live in a world of pretend. It's liberating.' A tax-exempt organization, the Church of Fictionology stands poised to become a great moneymaking power if it continues to grow at its current ratea situation Kurz called 'outrageous.' 'In recruiting new members, Fictionology preys on the gullible with fanciful stories and simple-minded solutions,' Kurz said. 'Fictionology is depriving legitimate churches of the revenue they need to carry out charitable works worldwideimportant charitable works like clearing the planet of body-thetan implants.'

3	Peacekeeper 2.0 - Smartphone App Ushers in Peer-to-Peer ProtectionBy selfnews Post Moreover, the police who do show up are often of a completely different mindset than the police of yesteryear. An increasingly militarized police force can show up to an emergency response call as though it is territory to be invaded and occupied. People are beginning to look to technology as a possible solution. We previously reported on a community response app called Peacekeeper. Designed for smartphones, the app was built to encourage connectivity with your neighbors, family and friends in order to establish a network filled with people who already have earned your trust. The creators call this concept Peer-to-Peer Protection. As Americans celebrate the concept of independence, today July 4th, please read the latest updates on this project, watch their video, and learn how we can work together to fundamentally decrease our misplaced dependence on centralized security. Here are some excerpts from their press release for Peacekeeper 2.0 The Fire Rises A Real Solution Emergency protection is a vital service that we all need. But lets face it most of us know that the government is not able to protect us. When seconds count, police are just minutes away. Thats why we are determined to create a system that actually puts the odds in your favor. Some individual police are heroes. But the institution as a whole is broken. Its bureaucratic, has the wrong incentives, and is too slow to be there when you need help. We deserve better. We need better. Thats why were building Peacekeeper. If the idea of a decentralized, fast, agile protection system that does an end-run around the State is something that appeals to you, contribute now and help us turn this vision into a reality. The Impact In 2013 we started with a vision to revolutionize community protection. In 2014 we released our first mobile application on iOS and Android. It is now 2015, and we are poised to create something even bigger and better. By contributing to the development of the new Peacekeeper app, you will be helping to build a completely new system of protection from the ground up. With a new, cleaner, faster app, you and your peers will have unprecedented access to real-time emergencies happening right around you. You can step in to be the hero someone needs. And if youre in a crisis, help is as close as the nearest Peacekeeper user. Just use the app and every Peacekeeper user in the area will be alerted. Whether its your ex-Marine buddy or your EMT neighbor, help can be there in minutes or even seconds. Peacekeeper is the future. Its the Uber to law enforcements Taxi. The Bitcoin of private protection. Its sweeping away the failed, monopolistic, violent status quo and replacing it with something fast, agile, and accountable to you. *** Please visit the Peacekeeper 2.0 Indiegogo Campaign and read their detailed breakdown of how to take this concept to the next level, as well as the many perks available for your participation. As if phone addiction and dependency isnt a big enough problem already. All of these electronic gadgets are now being used to track and data mine. Believe me, more of the same failures is not the answer. Helplessness syndrome This is a web-based piece of software, therefore it is hackable. No way around this fact, if they want to intrude into a system, they can. Once hacked, backdoors can be added, and once that happens, all bets are off. Do not put your trust in technology, the only peer-to-peer network that can be trusted is face-to-face exclusively. Could be a good idea, but look at the shitestorm brewing around ber due to criminals using it to acquire victims to rape and rob, and so on. I can see this thing blowing up in your faces when a lynch mob kills an innocent person, or someone is tricked into doing something stupid. Technology is always a double-edged sword! 
2	Atheist Airmen Now Required To Recite Under God Or Be Kicked Out Amid a recent string of attempts from atheist activist groups to denounce any form of religion expression, the Air Force has decided to stand strong. That means that even atheists must swear to God or they will be discharged from the service. The ruling came after a technical sergeant at Creech Air Force base in Nevada refused to swear allegiance to the nation under God. He claimed that the action was a violation of his rights as an atheist. The soldiers enlistment period ends in November, meaning that he will have to sure the Air Force in order to enlist. Unfortunately, by the time the court hearing is heard, his enlistment period will have expired. Monica Miller has decided to take on the case of the atheist soldier, and sent a letter on his behalf to the military branch telling them that the rules and regulations must be changed to suit the rights of all Americans. We have not received word from the Air Force, Miller told reporters. It has not indicated a willingness to settle outside of court. The Air Force is currently the only military branch that does not allow for the oat to be omitted to cater to the beliefs of non-Christians. This is the only branch to my knowledge thats actually requiring everyone in all instances to use the religious language, Miller commented. The government cannot compel a nonbeliever to take an oath that affirms the existence of a supreme being. What do you think? Should the Air Force be forced to change its oath to cater to atheists? 
2	He Didnt Trust His Moms Nursing Home So He Sets Up A Hidden Camera What He Captures... SICKENING Camille Parent grew increasingly concerned about his mothers elder care facility after hearing about incidents between his mother and other residents, which left her battered and bruised. At first, he suspected that other residents were attacking his mother. He didnt want to take any chances, so he planted a hidden camera in her room. What he found was absolutely disturbing. Not only was his mother being abused by other residents, but her caretakers were as well. The video that he secretly recorded showed other residents going through his mothers room, and taking her personal belongings. But that wasnt the worst of it. One staff member was caught blowing his nose on her sheets, and then making her bed with the same sheets. And yet another physically abused Camilles mother, who was suffering from Alzheimers. Camille was quick to show the CEO of Saint Josephs, whoa greed that the footage was totally unacceptable. He also claimed that he would make sure that actions are taken to prevent any such abuse in the future. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	ABC announced plans Monday to replace the laugh track of 8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter with a somber string arrangement. 'Following the untimely death of John Ritter, it's only appropriate that we repackage this madcap parenting comedy as a very special tribute to a man whose life touched us all,' said producer Tim Sharbarth. 'I mean, the episodes are in the can. We've gotta air them. Luckily, with the addition of new music by cellist Yo Yo Ma, the episodes offer a chance for the viewing public to say goodbye to John, a beloved legend of physical comedy.' Promos for the show, which used to feature choice sexual wisecracks, now contain a message from Ritter's 'TV family' and clips of the sitcom's characters hugging. 
2	BREAKING: At Least 14 Dead In Massive Suicide Bombing According to some disturbing new reports, at least 14 people were killed on Monday at the hands of a suicide bomber, who detonated in an Iraqi town just south of Baghdad. Allen B West reports that the bomber blew himself up in a restaurant in the Dhi Qar province that is often visited by Shiite paramilitary militia fighters. Numbers are still rolling in but at least 27 people were injured in the attack. This came just hours after two separate suicide bombings near Baghdad, which left 10 troops dead. There is no question that we have seen an escalation of these mass-suicides, and targets are getting more and more personal. What do you think? Is it time that President Obama ordered America to take action? We cannot just sit back and wait for this to happen to us. 
2	Congressman Rangel Hurls Racial Insult At Tea Party, Media Says Nothing It has become increasingly clear that when it comes to issues of race and equality, the media is swayed in favor of minorities. The truth is, stories about injustice sell. The other truth is, that makes it virtually impossible to avoid a debilitating double standard. Its easy to see that any conservation who takes a stand against amnesty is deemed a racist. School teachers who ask their students to speak in English are discriminatory. And those who defend themselves are committing hate crimes. However, Representative Charlie Rangel received very little backlash after telling the world that the tea party is made of white crackers. According to the Washington Times, the New York Congressman claimed that conservatives are the same group we faced in the South with those white crackers and the dogs and the police. He also accused House Republicans of having intentions to sabotage. Terrorists couldnt do a better job than the Republicans are doing, he concluded. What do you think? Does the media need to start covering all racism and stop promoting inequality? 
1	Apologizing profusely for the scratchy tone and uneven audio levels, local man Thomas Gebhard, host of the weekly podcast The Best Is History, solemnly vowed to his listeners Wednesday that the sound quality would be vastly improved for the next episode. Before we get into anything today, Id like to apologize to all of you about the audio qualitywe had to switch microphones at the last minute, but I promise you everything will be fixed next week, said Gebhard, assuring his audience that he was well aware of how profoundly poor sound could detract from an otherwise enjoyable history podcast. Regular listeners will know that I make every effort to present a professional-quality production. Today I fell far, far short of that standard, and for that I am truly sorry. Sources later confirmed that the sound remained subpar in the following episode and that a disconsolate Gebhard told listeners hed understand if they never downloaded another episode again.

3	Does the Airline You Fly Spray Chemtrails?Catherine J. Frompovich Harold Saive documents commercial airlines spraying chemtrails in this convincing YouTube: Furthermore, in another YouTube a passenger tells what he experienced while flying: Passengers were told to lower the window shades during daylight apparently so they could not see the chemtrails the plane would be laying down. According to the report, the captain invited everyone to lower the shades, which apparently was a command, since the stewardesses went through the cabin enforcing the captains invitation. The curious traveler admits that he lifted the shade slightly and saw chemtrails. Additionally, that same passenger talks about how on a flight he was ordered to put his camera into the luggage bin because it would interfere with the planes electronics, yet a few seats away from him, he said other passengers were using computers! Maybe before you book your next flight you should ask if that airline sprays chemtrails. If more of the public did that, maybe an awareness factor could be raised that travelers dont want to finance, patronize, or fly in planes of airlines that are contributing to global warming by spraying aluminum chaff and toxic chemicals to control the weather and harm us. Those toxic chemicals are in canisters in the belly of the plane directly under where passengers are sitting. Can there be any vapor exchanges into the passenger cabin? I contend that the FAA needs to do a study on thatand soon! Furthermore, Mr. Saive states that in 1990 the U.S. Department of Defense published a Chemtrails Manual for pilot training at the U.S. Air Force Academy! So what should air travel passengers expect if their airplane flies through chemtrails while in the sky? I dont think anyone knows the answer. However, there is such a thing as aerotoxic syndrome [1] thats been talked about, plus another consideration should be the Fukushima radiation that may be impacting air travelers since it, too, is up there with all the chemtrails. How much does that amplify the effects? Does anyone know? Mysterious Clouds To add some added mystery as to whats in the skies above, please check out this YouTube wherein a couple Arabian men film a weird cloud falling out of the sky, plus landing alongside a road. Note how truly weird the cloud acts: standing up like a person would. The cloud looks like it has plastic-like qualities as it tries to break apart. It is not amorphous like vapor clouds should be. At one point, one of the men gets out of the vehicle and approaches the cloud, even puts his hand into itsomething I encourage readers never to do, as geo-engineered clouds apparently are filled with all sorts of toxic chemicals. That same reasoning should be applied to snow, especially with children playing in it, eating it, or the rain. Dont play in the summer rain, as I used to love to do as a kid. You dont know what toxic chemicals could be raining down on you and penetrating your skin. Always carry a fold-up umbrella in your handbag or brief case just in case you get caught in the rain. Its that serious of a concern, Id say. Coincidentally, while writing this blog I received an email from a kind soul stating, If readers dont realize the seriousness of the chemicals and aluminum in chemtrails, maybe you would like to listen to what Russell Blaylock, MD, retired neurosurgeon, has to say about nano-aluminum particles in chemtrails and what they can do to the human brain, especially regarding memory and learning. Aerosolized aluminum enters the brain. Nano-size aluminum particulates enter the brain even more readily. Has your curiosity been aroused enough to listen to Dr. Blaylock? I sure hope so. Moreover, metal toxicity is real. It should be considered as seriously affecting human health. If readers dont know about metals/minerals getting into the body, then please consider this: Have you ever seen a green sediment mark in your bathtub coming from the faucets? Thats copper sloughing off from copper tubing pipes. Have you seen dark brown reddish, almost black, streaks on the outside of stone buildings? Thats iron. Have you had to clean out white powder residue from bottom of the inside your tea kettle? Thats calcium. So, even though minerals dont appear in their hard form as rock or an object, they do make it into the body in various minuscule ways. Nano-sizing minerals/metals on purpose seems more insidious, in my opinion. Heres another YouTube with geo-engineers, specifically David Keith, admitting that theyve not done anything serious in research on aluminum. That should be grounds for criminal scientific negligence, I think. Now, contrast that with what Dr. Blaylock, a neurosurgeon, contends. Furthermore, carefully listen to what a journalist in this video has to say after attending the four-day symposium. How bizarre can it get? Many folks are convinced that chemtrail chemicals and nano-particulates are contributing to a newly-emerging skin problem that has been termed Morgellons Disease/Syndrome. The Carnicom Institute, a research and educational facility, is devoting resources to understanding Morgellons. In an article by Amy Worthington, Chemtrail Polymers Linked to Morgellons Disease, on The Carnicom Institutes webpage we find this: Are readers wondering what Morgellons skin problems look like? First, here are some of the fibers taken from human bodies, which some think may be an effect of the scientific research leading up to trans-humanism. [2] Morgellons Disease Awareness has the most comprehensive collection of fibers in skin, urine, stool, and blood, plus particles in skin, hair damage, and water. As to what Morgellons looks like as an outbreak on human skin, please see these extremely graphic photographs: and these Personally, I believe it is most important to be careful with regard to outdoor exposure to the elements and be very careful about playing in the rain or snow because you really dont know whats coming in contact with your body. Morgellons is exasperating for many reasons: In view of all thats going on, which really is a weather anomaly, especially to those of us who are over 60 years of age and remember how things used to be in the skies, i.e., crystal-clear, sparkling blue skies for days at a time; billowing white clouds, not clouds whose undersides are smudged sooty gray all the time; a film-free atmosphere when one looks off into the distance; no chemtrail patchwork quilts in the skies; or more rainy and snowy days in a run than ever before, we have to hit the reset button, educate ourselves as to whats going on over our heads that really is affecting us, and demand accountability. If you dont believe that, heres an obvious credible resource, Weather As a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025, a research paper presented to the U.S. Air Force, the very same people whose planes are chemtrailing and who published a Chemtrail Manual in 1990 for Air Force Academy pilots.

2	Kanye West To Leave The Country Because America Is Too Racist According to recent reports, rapper Kanye West is threatening to leave the United States for good, after allegedly putting up with continued racism. West claims that he does not want his daughter to face these same issues. Kanyes threat reportedly stems from an incident that took place when Kim Kardashian was entering a medical building in California. A teenager outside of the building reportedly called Kim a n-word lover. When he was confronted, he reportedly threatened Kims life. Kanye responded by punching the teen in the face. Later, when being interviewed, Kanye threatened to leave the U.S. Weve got enough money to buy our own island or some s**t, the rapper commented. Ill be damned if I raise my daughter around ignorance and flat-out blatant racism. What do you think of Kanyes comments? Would you be happy to see the notoriously entitled rapper leave? 
3	Attorney Walter Kyles Reaction to Suing the Feds and Big PharmaBy Catherine J. Frompovich After getting away with starting epidemic AIDS, the FDA and Big Pharma have a Free Ride with the help of Hillarys close friendread Kyles article Simian retroviruses polio vaccine and the Origin of AIDS, The Lancet, 339:600-01 (7-Mar-1992). The first step to such a lawsuit requires the Vaccine Compensation Act be declared unconstitutional or jurisdictional hurdles cannot be surmounted against the culprits. The obvious basis for its unconstitutionality recently (with the advent of clinical proof of vaccine reactions) arose under the doctrine requiring procedural due process, for reason that, now the FDA blocks access to clinical tests capable of proving vaccine reactions, dictates the reactions compensated as On-Table for fast tracked vaccines, and appoints the judges (Special Masters) under an Act, which prohibits lawsuits against Big Pharma in State and Federal Courts and thus denies the injured (and any parents claim for loss of consortium) access to real courts of general jurisdiction. To which Catherine would add, What a legal racket we allow them to get away with! Catherine interviewed Attorney Kyle, and heres that August 4, 2012 interview.

1	Noting that they are reproducing at an alarming and unprecedented rate, researchers from the National Science Foundation warned Friday that the planet cannot continue supporting the rapidly growing population of Gronkowskis. We are quickly approaching the point at which any more Gronkowskis will be utterly disastrous for all life on earth, said leading researcher Rebecca Davies, adding that large groups of the enormous, powerful, and overly aggressive Gronkowskis have already overrun much of Massachusetts and are now spreading across the United States. The planet simply doesnt contain the resources necessary to sustain all these Gronkowskis, especially given the incredible amount of food they consume in a single day. This situation will soon be irreversible, and we as a society have to do something about it before its too late. Davies added that she fully supports new measures to hunt Gronkowskis in rural parts of the country in order to prevent them from encroaching on densely populated cities.

VDC Photo News (@VDCphotoNEWS) November 11, 2015 When a Milwaukee police officer saw this happening, he took immediate action. After subduing the criminal, the officer gave honors to the burned flag. The flag was taken into inventory in order to back up charges against the offender. The police officer gave a small ceremony to the tattered flag before taking it away. Do more strict laws need to be put in place to prevent despicable acts like this in the future? 
2	BREAKING: 9 States Are Being Forced To SUBMIT To Sharia Law According to reports, a group of Muslims have tried to create the first Sharia Law of Islam court within the United States border. The effort is taking place in several states that the group has identified as key. Now, the group is receiving massive pushback from local Americans who are outraged at the prospect. The group is currently targeting the following states: 1. Texas Currently, Mayor Bath Van Duyne has made an effort to fight the group in Texas. She does not want radical Muslims creating a Sharia safe haven in Irving, Texas. Her current court argument if founded on the Texas law that prohibits any foreign law from going into effect within Texas borders. While that seems like a solid strategy, the group seems to have found a loophole in the law which may allowed them to claim cultural understanding. If that is the case, they could be safe from legislative harm. What do you think of these new efforts? Is this absolutely outrageous? 
3	ACLU Seeks Information on FBIs Secretive Port ReadersDerrick Broze The tool, known as port readers, are capable of copying emails and instant messages in real time. The tool is supposed to delete the contents of the emails and leave only the metadata for the government. The FBI is currently working to install port readers on the networks of large telecommunications companies. In the ACLUs request they asked for more information on the port readers. Specifically, the civil liberties group is seeking information on what metadata is being collected, how many Internet and phone service providers have installed them, how much information is collected so far, and whether or not the FBI can guarantee that information is not permanently stored by the government. While the ACLU attempts to force the government to release pertinent information on the technology, we can gather a sense of what is being collected. The port readers were first described in August 2013 when CNET reported that a former government official stated that within the Bureau the software was known as a harvesting program. Another industry insider told CNET that the readers were an interception device by definition. ATT, T-Mobile, Verizon, Comcast, and Sprint declined to comment on the topic. Foreign Policy also reported on the readers , stating that the FBI collects 13 separate fields of metadata. The exact fields and types of information are publicly unknown. We do know that the data can include the route a message takes over a network, IP addresses, and port numbers. So how do the port readers and the data collection happen without even a secret FISA court approval? Using what are known as pen register and trap and trace orders large amounts of data can be intercepted with very little judicial oversight. The only requirement of a law enforcement officer making such an order is that the officer certify the results will be relevant to an investigation. Judges have stated in the past that they have almost no ability to deny pen register and trap and trace requests, and instead act as a rubber stamp for whatever is being requested. The metadata collected can include IP addresses, Facebook correspondence, web site history, and more. However, with a pen register not all metadata is LEGALLY accessible. Although federal law says law enforcement can grab only dialing, routing, addressing, or signaling information without getting a court-approved wiretap, industry sources state that the FBI has configured its port reader to collect all metadata. This data collection would then render the programs, likely, illegal. This is yet another precarious legal gray area where data collection is concerned. Although not much is known about port readers themselves there is some available data on the branch of the FBI carrying out the collection of information. Located at the Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia is the home of the FBIs Operational Technology Division. Inside this compound is a mysterious organization called the Data Intercept Technology Unit or DITU. DITU handles the interception of data using the port readers. Another interesting note is how the FBI and DITU assist the NSA with spying on Americans. The NSA is officially supposed to focus on international threats and not monitor activities of Americans. Whistleblower Edward Snowden obviously destroyed that myth last summer. However, DITU and the FBI still provide access to information that the NSA may not be able to access legally. Once the FBIs port readers do their job, and DITU dissects the information, anything seen to be helpful can then be passed along to the NSA for further dissection and dissemination. All this seems to be operating under the guise of barely legal or outright flaunting of the law, both public law and leaked secret proceedings.

2	Finally Trump Announces Who His Real VP Might Be This week, Trump was deemed the official Republican candidate. Now, he is looking for a Vice President who can complement his business intelligence with a strong background in politics. I dont want to name anybodywhat I would most likely be looking at, and I feel like Id be going a little bit in reversein other words, Id be going for a political person, Trump said in an interview with Breitbart News. Because I dont need a business person, I need a political person. Somebody that can deal with the hill, that can deal with Congress and get things done, get things passed, et cetera, et cetera. On Tuesday night, Trump focused much of his campaign on the likely Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton. The real enemy is Hillary Clinton and four more years of essentially Obama, Trump commented. The country cannot take it. Our country is not going to be able to survive four more years of incompetence and bad decision-making. As Bernie Sanders says loud and clear, Hillary Clinton suffers from bad judgment. He went on provide a bit of History on what Hillarys background truly is. Im going to bring jobs back to America and Hillary has no clue as to jobs, he concluded. In fact, NAFTA, which was signed by her husband, is the worst economic development deal ever signed in the history of our countrytrade deal, I guess youd call it. The worst trade deal ever signed in the history of our country. Its cleaned out vast portions of our manufacturing businesses and more. What do you think of Trumps proposal for a more political Vice President? Is that a smart move for him?

2	BREAKING: Helicopters Spotted Flying Over Walmarts Heres Whats Happening Inside Over the past few days, Americans have been vocalizing their suspicions about the five Walmart closings taking place throughout the country. The announcement was followed by 2,200 Walmart employees being laid off, with only a few hours notice. Some suggest that the closures are closely linked to the government, and that Walmart stores are the perfect locations for secret military training operations. Now, residents of Big Spring, TX are reporting numerous helicopter sightings in one of the old locations. I saw a train carrying all sorts of military equipment heading into Big Spring, one resident told reporters. There were also about 14 helicopters flying over the Airport last night and a tank getting driven through that open field [near the airport]. Its scary seeing that and not knowing what in the world is going on. Experts have concluded that the helicopters are likely part of the Jade Helms military training exercise, scheduled to take place from July to September. The exercise will require soldiers to operate undetected amongst civilian populations. What do you think? Could this be the beginning of martial law in the United States? 
1	Making an utter fool of himself in front of company Monday night, local resident and complete fucking moron Tony Penneman actually voiced aloud his opinion that Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov is the most inventive orchestrator in the history of Russian classical music, sources reported. The whole of Scheherazade alonebut particularly how the fourth movement stays at once coherent and brilliantcements his status as Russias master of symphonic color, the ignorant fuckwad actually said, flapping his gums as though anyone would give a flying shit about Rimsky-Korsakov had Alexander Glazunovs music not caught the eye of their eventual patron, Mitrofan Belyayev. Even his lesser works like The Snow Maiden or Vera Sheloga have so much to teach todays composer-arrangers, who no doubt owe a deep debt of gratitude to Rimsky-Korsakov for his virtuosity. At press time, sources were plugging their ears so as not to have to hear Pennemans dumbass proclamation that Italian librettists dont come finer than Giuseppe Giacosa.

2	Liberal Grade School Takes Christmas Spirit Away From Kids In One Sickening Act For the past few years, weve seen the school system censor Christianity to levels that are simply unheard of. Unfortunately, it looks like this year will be no different. Fifth graders at Centerville Elementary School in Lancaster County, PA will not be performing A Christmas Carol this year, though it has been a tradition for decades. Parents told local reporters at Fox News the play was shut down because two parents complained about a line in the Charles Dickens holiday classic. According to WHTM, the parents took offense to the words, God bless us, everyone. I was very surprised because its going on for decades and its a tradition at the school that everyone looks forward to, Jane Burkhart, a local resident, told the TV station. Like many other parents, she is saddened by the politics in the cancellation. One little line shouldnt ruin it for every kid. Charles Dickens is a class author, not a religious author. After the story broke in the local media, Principal Tom Kramer addressed the controversy in a message posted to the schools website. We understand that some parents are upset that the play was canceled, but we have heard from families on both ends of the spectrum, including those who expressed appreciation that the play, as it had traditionally been prepared and delivered, was canceled, he wrote. Kramer denies reports that the decision was based only on one or two families and did not specifically address allegations about the single line. Our decision is rooted in the desire to be respectful of the many cultural and religious backgrounds represented by students attending Centerville Elementary, Kramer wrote. Given the changes in state standards in recent years, we could not defend the commitment of this kind of instructional time to something not part of the fifth-grade curriculum. The decision is censorship at its core and some fear it is sending Christian children the wrong message. What does this communicate to our kids? a local attorney commented on the matter. It says that anything religious is not really appropriate in public life. Its something youre supposed to keep to yourselfIt seems like people are trying to take away our traditions left and right. We need to do something to push back. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous? 
3	Do We Need to Bring Back Internment Camps?By Ron Paul He called for the government to identify people most likely to be radicalized so we can cut this off at the beginning. That sounds like pre-crime! Gen. Clark ran for president in 2004 and its probably a good thing he didnt win considering what seems to be his disregard for the Constitution. Unfortunately in the current presidential race Donald Trump even one-upped Clark, stating recently that NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden is a traitor and should be treated like one, implying that the government should kill him. These statements and others like them most likely reflect the frustration felt in Washington over a 15 year war on terror where there has been no victory and where we actually seem worse off than when we started. The real problem is they will argue and bicker over changing tactics but their interventionist strategy remains the same. Retired Army Gen. Mike Flynn, who was head of the Defense Intelligence Agency during the US wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, told al-Jazeera this week that US drones create more terrorists than they kill. He said: The more weapons we give, the more bombs we drop, that just fuels the conflict. Still Washington pursues the same strategy while expecting different results. It is probably almost inevitable that the warhawks will turn their anger inward, toward Americans who are sick of the endless and costly wars. The US loss of the Vietnam war is still blamed by many on the protesters at home rather than on the foolishness of the war based on a lie in the first place. Lets hope these threats from Clark and Trump are not a trial balloon leading to a clampdown on our liberties. There are a few reasons we should be concerned. Last week the US House passed a bill that would allow the Secretary of State to unilaterally cancel an American citizens passport if he determines that person has aided or abetted a terrorist organization. And as of this writing, the Senate is debating a highway funding bill that would allow the Secretary of State to cancel the passport of any American who owes too much money to the IRS. Canceling a passport means removing the right to travel, which is a kind of virtual internment camp. The person would find his movements restricted, either being prevented from leaving or entering the United States. Neither of these measures involves any due process or possibility of appeal, and the governments evidence supporting the action can be kept secret. We should demand an end to these foolish wars that even the experts admit are making matters worse. Of course we need a strong defense, but we should not provoke the hatred of others through drones, bombs, or pushing regime change overseas. And we must protect our civil liberties here at home from government elites who increasingly view us as the enemy. Former Congressman Dr. Ron Pauls work can be found at RonPaulInstitute.org where this article first appeared. Get Ron Pauls new book Swords and Plowshares. Bill Clinton gave order to Bosnians Muslims to kill own people in Srebrenica Alexander Dorin wrote a book and proved that Clinton commited a war crime. Serbs were innocent US were on false side. Clinton, Madlaine Albright, Klark should all be jailed for crimes in Yugoslavia. After Srebrenica, 400 000 Serbs were obliged to leave Krajina (the aim was to help catholic Croatia that was supported by Vatican). If Americans do not stop these criminals they will jail own citizens out of satanic pleasure. They already do and only God will stop them now. I totally agree with you because it is consider to be a serious war crime against humanity and I was outrage about this back then , too. Even Michael Savage on his talk show radio was outrage when heard about the Kosovo bombing that is committing unspeakable atrocity. As they say, when the only tool in your toolbox is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. These psychopaths know only violence and force, so anyone who isnt one of their fellow psychopaths must be the enemy. 
1	Rather than bestowing a final, icy tap to Caroline Kennedy's unsuspecting clavicle, the ethereal entity known as Death suddenly receded into the darkness last Thursday, after Kennedy announced her decision to withdraw her bid to become a U.S. senator. The sole surviving child of slain president John F. Kennedy said she made the choice to drop out of the running after considering the declining health of her uncle, Massachusetts senator Ted Kennedy, who is suffering from an extremely rare and incurable brain cancer. 'I am permanently and unequivocally removing my name from consideration for this post,' Kennedy said as the shrill cry of a whip-poor-will sounded in the distance. 'Right now, I just want to be with my few remaining family members.' Sources said Kennedy plans to use the break from political life to devote more time to her personal interests, including flying lessons, ski-football, and late-night drives through Martha's Vineyard.

2	Murderer Being Prosecuted After Intentionally Killing And Injuring 40 In Car Crash Las Vegas has unfortunately been the home to the most recent attack. Although police have determined that it is unlikely to be a terrorist attack, they have confirmed that the crash was intentional and they are investigating the crime further. A female driver turned into the sidewalk, smashing into about 40 people. One died on the scene, 4 are in critical condition, and the rest have been taken to the hospital for non-critical injuries. Las Vegas Blvd. has been completely shut down. Some people announced via social media that they heard shootings, but after further investigation police have said that this is unlikely. The driver attempted to flee the scene in her vehicle after hitting dozens, and police have apprehended her. They are currently testing her for drugs and alcohol, as well as screening her background for terrorist ties. Is the death penalty appropriate for running over dozens of people? 
1	Millions of Americans and thousands of federal employees awoke Monday to find the national mail service in disarray after a group of rowdy teens on a joyride reportedly destroyed up to 90 percent of the postal service's nationwide infrastructure with a baseball bat. New York's famed post office was reduced to rubble after one of the teens got an especially good whack in on it. Citing more than $45 billion in damages from the late-night escapade, the United States Postal Service has suspended all mail delivery and requested relief aid to rebuild more than 650 demolished post offices. The agency is also seeking supplemental funding to clean up the letters, packages, and crushed Budweiser can the teens left in their wake. 'These hooligans have absolutely no respect for property, fellow residents, or their country,' Postmaster General John E. Potter said as he picked up pieces of the USPS headquarters that had flown across the street and into a neighboring yard. 'This is the third postal service I've had to replace this year.' According to police documents, Potter told investigators he was working late at his office Sunday night when, around 11:30 p.m., he heard the sound of a loud muffler and rock music coming from outside USPS headquarters. Potter said he ran outside to see what was happening, but by the time he arrived the teens were speeding off down a gravel road, giving him only enough time to throw a crab apple at the departing car, which he described as 'a rusted-out old Buick.' Postmaster General John Potter cleans up the capital in the aftermath of the teens' joyride. Authorities have thus far not been able to identify the teens responsible, who remain at large and in serious trouble. 'It's those Murphy twins and their no-good friend Tim Strougle,' Potter said while shaking a broom. 'What they did was destruction of property, plain and simple. Those kids should know better than to tamper with a federal mail service agencyit's a felony.' Potter went on to argue that the irresponsible teens should have to personally pay the rebuilding costs of his agency's infrastructure, a punishment he believes would 'teach them a lesson they won't soon forget.' Added Potter, 'Someone's going to have to spend a whole day digging a new hole for that foundation.' Though FBI agents assigned to investigate the nationwide act of vandalism would not comment on any potential leads, they did disclose that the task force has ruled out a number of suspects, including those two Anderson boys from just up on Hoyt Road. 'Sure, they've gotten into trouble in the past, but [their father] Dave [Anderson] set them straight after the shenanigans they pulled last Halloween,' said Special Agent Brian Richards, who told reporters the FBI was enlisting the help of municipal law- enforcement agencies and snoopy neighbors from across the country in the investigation. 'Nor do we have reason to believe that Shane and Lance McMurray were involved in this terrible crime. They're good boys. Mowed my lawn last summer.' Tampa resident Eric Thompson, 39, was one of countless American citizens outraged by the night of teenage mischief. 'I just don't get it,' said Thompson, standing in front of his broken local postal branch. 'Why would someone want to ruin a perfectly good post office? Don't they have anything better to do? If this is what kids today do for fun, I don't know what to tell you.' Added Thompson: 'Now I'm not going to get my magazines until who knows when.' While many Americans remain convinced that whichever local teens are responsible should be punished to the full extent of the law, some feel the public is overreacting. 'Everyone's getting all riled up over nothing,' Attorney General Michael Mukasey said. 'The U.S. Postal Service got a little banged upso what? We did the same thing when we were younger.' 'Who knows, maybe old man Barrington ran over the damn things,' Mukasey added. 'He shouldn't even have a license anymore, he's so darn nearsighted. I wouldn't be surprised if he knocked over all those buildings and didn't even realize he did it.' On Tuesday, the USPS announced they have begun taking extreme measures to prevent further destruction of federal property. As part of the new strategy, beginning next month security officers will take posts in the bushes surrounding USPS facilities in all major cities, and a select number of new offices will be reinforced by constructing a smaller office inside a large post office and filling the middle portion with cement. 'I can't wait for one of those punks to take a swing at one of our mail centers after that,' Potter said. According to FBI records, the destruction of the U.S. Postal Service was the most significant incident of rampaging teens since the entire U.S. Air Force was keyed during the homecoming in 1998.

'I'm just not sure if you mean Brandy, Sherry, Susie, Angel, Carla, or Karla with a 'K',' Taylor said. 'Is she blonde? That could possibly be Jen, Jennifer, or Andrea. You can't be talking about Candy, Lexie, or Jen, because they'd be at least in their 20s by now, or Sarah, because she's only 14.' Taylor admitted that determining the identity of the underage girl would be difficult because most of the 16-year-old prostitutes he knew were dead.

1	Despite his humble beginnings in a small three-bedroom apartment on the Upper East Side, local Manhattan boy James Michael Carson has made a success of himself in the big city, sources reported. Six years ago, Carson left his close-knit neighborhood in the affluent heart of New York City to pursue his dreams of becoming even more affluent in the city's financial district. Last week, he finally returned home. 'It makes me proud to see one of our own do so well for himself,' said neighbor Janette Friedman, who remembers when Carson was just a small boy, waiting in the marble foyer of their apartment complex each morning for a livery car to take him all the way up to the Dalton School. 'I always knew he was headed for big things.' In 2004, Carson, fresh out of business school and unsure what to do next, chose to leave the safe confines of home and try his luck in investment bankinga world in which he had no connections at all aside from one or two influential family friends. With nothing in his pocket but the money his parents had put aside years ago specifically to cover all of his expenses, Carson set out to make his own separate personal fortune as a Wall Street trader. Carson's humble childhood home: 'It feels like a shoe box' compared to the 67th-floor penthouse where he now lives. 'He was the first member of our family ever to go below 14th Street,' said Carson's sister, the novelist Karen Carson-Skyles. 'We are so proud of what he's managed to accomplish. It just goes to show that dreams really do come true.' 'Just as they have for pretty much every generation of our family since the mid-1800s,' she added. According to Carson, many people he meets are surprised to learn he is the product of a broken home, but his parentsCarolyn Layton, a psychiatrist, and Stephen Carson, a thoracic surgeondivorced when he was only 18. Fortunately, they continued to provide him with unconditional support, as well as nearly unlimited financial resources. Carson chose to enroll at Columbia University, a decision that took him across Central Park and into a scary new environment he had never experienced before, except on occasional visits to Lincoln Center. 'James really shone at Columbia,' recalled Professor Craig W. Harmon, who served as the young man's undergraduate adviser. 'It was obvious right from the beginning that he would be successful, largely due to his pedigree, but also because he showed a willingness to do whatever was required to finish a course with at least a passing grade.' Added Harmon, 'Also his grandfather had made several large donations to Columbia and we couldn't in our right minds fail him.' After graduation, Carson took a year off to 'see the real world' in Europe before returning to his studies and eventually earning an MBA. The big move downtown came when he took up residence in a vacant apartment owned by his uncle Charles, a choice that ruffled the feathers of relatives who found the place wholly unsuitable for entertaining. Despite such obstacles, Carson never let his far-flung location limit his potential: In the past three years, he's married, made $10 million, and helped engineer the failure of a major Wall Street bank. The proud family man said Friday that he moved back to the Upper East Side because he wanted to give back to the neighborhood that had given him so much, and to that end he has donated $75,000 to the Guggenheim Museum. 'I'm just a guy who applied himself and took advantage of the myriad financial, social, and familial opportunities available to him,' Carson told reporters from his hometown newspaper, The New York Times. 'Sure, when I was growing up, all four of us had to crowd into one tiny breakfast nook, and maid service was only three times a week, but I'll never forget the lessons my parents and nanny taught me about hard work and perseverance.' 'Namely, that it doesn't matter very much,' he added.

I know theyre just trying to provide the best possible experience for guests as they remember the horrors of that awful day, but theyre serving those big chocolate chunk cookies, for Gods sake. Theres no way Im not getting seconds. Frydland then reportedly tilted a bag of kettle-cooked potato chips into his mouth, brushed a few crumbs off his shirtfront, and then made his way to the first responders oral history exhibit.

2	Food Stamp Recipients In Baltimore Just Got Some VERY Bad News Republican Del. Patrick McDonough of Maryland stirred up some serious controversy after suggesting that parents of Baltimore thugs involved in riots should temporarily lose their food stamps. McDonough made the statement on a live radio program, after taking a call from a listener who introduced the idea of limiting welfare. Thats an idea and that could be legislation, McDonough agreed with the caller. I think if you could make the case that there is a failure to do proper parenting and allowing this stuff to happen, is there an opportunity for a month to take away your food stamps? McDonough concluded that the measure seems a little bit harsh but did not oppose it all together. He also called for a study of the thug nation, the group of people who are violent and brutal with a mindset that is dysfunctional to the point of being dangerous. What do you think of McDonoughs comments? Should the parents of todays violent youth be punished? 
2	See What TEXAS Just Did In Response To Chattanooga Shooting... AMAZING Following the tragic shootings on two military facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee, that resulted in the death of four United States Marines and one Navy Sailor, Texas is making some major changes. Governor Greg Abbott reportedly announced that he will be authorizing the Adjutant General John Nichols of the Texas National Guard to arm National Guard personnel at military facilities throughout the state. It is with a heavy heart that I issue this order, Governor Abbott continued. After the recent shooting in Chattanooga, it has become clear that our military personnel must have the ability to defend themselves against these type of attacks on our own soil. Arming the National Guard at these bases will not only serve as a deterrent to anyone wishing to do harm to service men and women, but will enable them to protect those living and working on the base. What do you think of Abbotts order? Do you support Texas? 
1	In baseball, it's steroids. In football, helmet-to-helmet hits. Flopping in basketball and soccer have reached epidemic-levels. But another cheating scourge has hit a major world sport. The Federation of International Polo has released a report indicating that the Chilean National Team has been corking their horses for the better part of the past decade. This creates a lighter, faster horse more capable of flashing around the polo pitch at lightning speed. At times many competitors would cut open their horses and stuff them with silicon or some similarly malleable substance that allows the horses preternatural flexibility, giving them the capacity to squeeze into tight spots and even bounce back up quickly after taking an otherwise devastating fall. This has earned Chile's most famous polo horse the nickname Caballo De Goma or 'Rubber Horse'. Here's what you need to know about Horse Corking. Click image to enlarge. 
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 Russell 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.' 
1	A team of geneticists in Boston earned a stern rebuke from the scientific community this week when, despite the lessons learned from the 1996 cautionary film Multiplicity, they vowed to press ahead with their efforts to clone actor Michael Keaton. Utterly disregarding the manifold arguments against the cloning of Michael Keaton laid bare in the Harold Ramisdirected science-fiction comedy filmincluding the creation of Michael Keaton clones who are unnaturally aggressive, mentally impaired, or otherwise lacking in foresight and fully developed motor skillsmembers of a prominent genetic research team announced that their plans to clone Michael Keaton remained very much on schedule. While we are aware of the scientific, logistical, and ethical quandaries posed by this experiment, we believe that Michael Keaton is simply too vital an actor, performer, and personality for merely one of him to exist, said Dr. Mike de Souza, lead genetic researcher on the Michael Keaton cloning project that opponents argue flies directly in the face of dire evidence gleaned from Multiplicity. However, at present we are only planning to make one copy of Michael Keaton and have no intention of making more, even though the idea of an ever increasing number of Michael Keatons does, on paper, sound like an enticing proposition. Again, though, we are not planning on doing that, de Souza added. No one wants a Multiplicity situation on their hands. In response to the research teams announcement, scientists across the nation issued an urgent reminder that experiments in cloning Michael Keaton are likely to have numerous complications, including cases of mistaken identity, workplace mixups, and aberrations in physical strength and personality, issues that are all clearly explicated in the film Multiplicity by the character Doug Kinney (played by Michael Keaton). Perhaps more problematic, opponents warn, is the fact that there is little recourse for scientists in the case of a failed cloning experiment. In the almost certain outcome that a genetic duplicate of Michael Keaton is defective, sources said researchers would have to find a way to hide him in an attic or basement, dress him in different outfits, or hastily invent a variety of other flawed excuses for the clones, or clones, erratic behavior. In the worst-case scenario, scientists said, the Michael Keaton duplicates may even have to be assigned a different identity and quietly relocated. Their refusal to acknowledge the lessons contained within Multiplicity is not only foolish, it could have dangerous and far-reaching consequences, Dr. Martin Copeland, a faculty member at the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics, said in response to the genetic research teams announcement. They are willfully ignoring so many risks that, to the benefit of the scientific community, have already been brought to light by the cast and crew of Multiplicity. We know now that any attempts to clone Michael Keaton would almost certainly produce a range of deeply troubling and unwanted abnormalities that, over time, would spiral further and further out of control, to the detriment of many, including Michael Keaton. It is a near certainty that calamity would ensue. Believe me, I have watched the film numerous times, Copeland added. At press time, sources said the Michael Keaton cloning project had been temporarily put on hold as the geneticists involved had no idea how they were going to conduct the experiment when they had to do the laundry and pick up the kids from soccer practice. 
1	Ahead of the College of Cardinals upcoming conclave to select a new pope, a Gallup poll conducted this week found that 99 percent of the global population would prefer that the next head of the Roman Catholic Church be a large, slobbery hound dog with big, saggy jowls. When presented with a variety of options, respondents across all demographics were nearly unanimous in voicing their preference that Vatican ceremonies, including Easter and Christmas masses, be presided over by a droopy-eyed basset hound with a big, tall pope hat sitting atop his floppy ol ears, said pollster Diane Warnell, who noted that well over 9 out of 10 of those surveyed, including Catholics, expressed a strong desire to see a ceremonially clad dog pontiff roll around on his back in St. Peters Basilica, bark to a large crowd of worshippers from a Vatican balcony, or place his front paws up on a table and steal a ham sandwich right off of someones plate. The remaining 1 percent of respondents, however, said they would be open to a hound dog pope if the big guy tuckered himself out after a day of sniffing and chasing and took a doggy nap right there on the altar. According to numerous reports and allegations, the only hound dog in contention for pope, Cardinal Bruiser, is believed to have sniffed the genitals of at least 32 minors.

1	SOUTH BEND, INWith their football renaissance derailed, at least for the moment, by a current 5-2 record that includes losses to rivals USC and unranked Michigan State, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish have elected to improve in the one area where they still outclass all other college football teams: their legendary history. 'Although we have great hopes for the future of our football program, Notre Dame has greater hopes for a facet of that program that is far more important to our university: our past,' Notre Dame athletic director Kevin White said in a press conference Monday. 'With that in mind, we will be making improvements, additions, and revisions that, like our history itself, have been 118 years in the making.' Notre Dame's history, perhaps the most storied in sports, already includes such legends as Knute Rockne, George Gipp, and Joe Theismann. However, once the program's history has been revised, it will also include Hall of Famers such as Bo Jackson, formerly of Auburn; Archie Griffin, formerly of Ohio State; and Red Grange, formerly of Illinois. 'All these Hall of Fame players are definitely worthy of going down as the greatest in history,' Notre Dame coach Charles Weis said. 'And since the College Football Hall of Fame is right down the road from us here in South Bend, we can easily make sure that the history they go down in is Notre Dame's.' Weis said that, while he certainly inherited a good history when he took the coaching job in South Bend, he wants to make that history a great one. 'I fully intend to be the primary architect of Notre Dame history's return to prominence and relevance,' Weis said. 'I inherited a program that had only won 11 national championships between 1924 and 2005. I promise you that, by this time next year, the Fighting Irish will have won at least 10 more in that same time period.' Director White and Coach Weis said that although the improvement of the 1887-2005 seasons will not be finalized until later this year, they have already begun drawing up plans for the historical revision. Some of the highlights of Notre Dame's new history: 1869: The first college football game is played this year, on Nov. 6, between Princeton and Rutgers, with the understanding that the winner will go on to play Notre Dame later in the afternoon for the national championship 1887: University board approves the Athletic Department's request for a new sports team, and Notre Dame football is officially born on the playing fields of South Bend, IN, the same year as future Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz is born in West Virginia 1936: The Fighting Irish football squad travels to Nazi Germany to represent America at the Berlin Olympics; ND split end Jesse Owens gains 187 yards and scores three touchdowns in a 42-17 gold-medal-winning rout of the heavily favored Rommel-coached SS squad 1943: With the boys fighting World War II overseas, the women of Notre Dame take the reins of the football team and pummel the notorious draft-dodging Michigan Wolverines to bring home another national title to South Bend 1944: In December, the Notre Dame defense successfully holds off a German advance to win the Battle of the Bulge; meanwhile, in the Pacific theater, the Irish offense invades and retakes the Philippines; the team finishes the season ranked #2 in all polls 1956: Future Notre Dame quarterback and six-time Heisman Trophy winner Joe Montana is on June 11 in New Eagle, PA of a vestal virgin born 1957: Notre Dame quarterback Paul Hornung, in a vote that remains controversial to this very day, splits the Heisman Trophy with the man who is now widely regarded as the best football player of all time, halfback Jim Brown of Notre Dame 1961: 31 points down in the fourth quarter of an away game against highly ranked Ohio State, Notre Dame, led by 12-year-old freshman phenom Joe Theismann, scores 42 points to win in overtime 1970: Notre Dame turns down offers from the ACC, the Big Ten, and the National Football League, electing to remain a Division I independent 1975: Daniel 'Rudy' Ruettiger, an undersized fourth-string transfer student, is allowed to dress for and play in the last and only game of his college career; in the final moments of the game, 'Rudy' tackles the Georgia Tech quarterback, forcing a fumble which rolls into the end zone and is recovered for an Irish victory; Notre Dame jumps up 23 spots in the polls for a share of the national championship; Ruettiger is awarded the Butkus and Nagurski trophies 1984: In the last seconds of the national championship at the Orange Bowl, Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie's last-second Hail Mary pass is intercepted in the end zone by Notre Dame cornerback Deion Sanders and returned 106 yards for the winning touchdown 1991: All-time Notre Dame scoring leader Jerome Bettis is given the nickname 'The Bus' not only for his great size and reliability, but also for his ability to put the entire Fighting Irish team on his back and carry them to away games as far away as Florida and California 2005: The Oct. 15 victory of the Fighting Irish over #1 ranked USC, 27-31, is marred somewhat when Trojan Matt Leinart, who attempts to run the ball into the end zone in a last-second quarterback sneak, gets hit by the entire Notre Dame defense and is killed instantly as time runs out

3	Is America a Police State Yet?Wendy McElroy, Contributor A police state is generally defined as a totalitarian government that exerts extreme and pervasive social, political and economic control over peaceful citizens. Ayn Rand called it the ultimate inversionthe stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission. There are various ways to measure where a nation sits on the police-state axis. One way is to compare what you see in America with the following standard description of a police state. A police state maintains its control through the pervasive surveillance of peaceful citizenry, through a vast number of laws with draconian enforcement, and by converting rights into privileges that can be withheld for example, the ability to travel. Typically, there is a special police force, such as a Stasi, that operates with no transparency and few restraints. The special police do not address violent crime; instead, they exert social control and enforce the law whatever the law may be. This describes America. Surveillance of daily life has soared; even the Supreme Court has consistently expanded the right of police to perform warrantless searches. A vast array of laws now dictate the minutia of life, from what you may not eat to the light bulbs you may not use as well products you must buy (e.g. health care insurance). On one day in January alone, Obama issued 23 executive orders to start the process of gun control. Enforcement is becoming every more draconian, with police departments pursuing militarization of their procedures and attitudes. A special police force called the Department of Homeland Security has spearheaded this military zeal; the DHS functions without transparency or accountability. Travel, formerly a right, is now a privilege granted by government agents at their whim. Another way to judge the degree of totalitarianism is to answer yourself four questions: America is now a police state. How did this happen? There are no simple answers, and it has happened over a long course of years. If there were a simple answer, then it would be: War. The war on drugs, the war on poverty, the war on womenbut, most of all, the war on terrorism. An institution is a well-established and structured pattern of behavior or of relationships that is accepted as a fundamental part of a culture, such as marriage. Institutions can be roughly broken into two categories. Private sector institutions reflect the interactions and choices of individuals; they include the marketplace, the family, the press, and religion. Public or state sector institutions reflect an attempt to control the interactions and choices of individuals; they include todays legal system, public education, regulatory agencies, and the current banking monopoly. A deep tension exists between the two categories because one can expand only at the expense of the other. For example, regulatory agencies grow by draining away control from individuals in the marketplace; public institutions feed on private ones until there is nothing left. They are able to do so because frightened people will surrender liberty for the illusion of safety. The war on terror is an engineered hysteria. In its wake, the institutions of America have changed. Public ones have swelled in size and appetite; private ones have retreated. Some of the changes are so glaring that people noticed immediately. It is difficult not to notice the militarization of law enforcement when your children are lined up at airports and touched by uniformed strangers in a manner that would be called child molestation elsewhere. But the dehumanizing process is accepted in the name of security. The foregoing scratches the surface of how a society becomes a total state. It does not explain the why. Why do Americans who pride themselves on rugged individualism stand by and watch the triumph of totalitarianism? Another common reason: people do not or prefer not to notice. Because they wake up in their own homes, eat the same breakfast cereal, work at the same job, they have a sense that everything is normal. They do not notice that the legal structure and other institutions that guarded their freedoms are going, going, gone. People who are accustomed to liberty can be blithely unaware of how important mechanisms like rule of law or due process are to their freedom and true safety. The daily erosion of freedom is far less real to them than their daily routines. The difference between America and a communist regime lay in its institutional protection of the individual against the state. That difference no longer exists.

2	Hillary Clinton Caught Red Handed Admitting That Obama Supported ISIS According to reports, Hillary Clinton received a classified intelligence report stating that the Obama administration was actively supporting Al Qaeda in Iraq, the terrorist group that later became the Islamic state. The memo reportedly makes it abundantly clear that Al Qaeda in Iraq was speaking through Muhammad Al Adnani, who is now the senior spokesman for the Islamic State. Western and Gulf states were supporting the terrorist group to try to overthrow Syrian dictator Bashar al Assad. The memo was sent in 2012 to several top Obama administration officials and agencies, including to the State Department and to Clintons office personally. The document is an IAR, an intelligence information report, Christopher J. Farrell, who serves on the board of directors of Judicial Watch commented. It is produced by somebody within the Defense intelligence agency (DIA). It is reporting from the field by an intelligence agent. Its a report from the field back to headquarters with some intelligence that somebody is willing to bet their career on, Farrell said. What do you think of these reports? Do we need a president who is not going to turn a blind eye to the problems at hand? 
2	What President Obama Just Did To These ISIS Hostages Is Unforgivable According to a recent statement from the White House, Obama has promised to make a financial contribution to a memorial foundation for slain ISIS hostage Kayla Mueller. While that may seem generous, the spokesperson was unable to explain why the president has not already donated in the 17 months since he first made that promise to her parents. I would anticipate that they [the Obamas] would make a financial contribution to continue supporting it, Josh Earnest said of the Kaylas Hands foundation. But he did not confirm or deny the fact the president had promised the Muellers that he would make a decision long ago. Carl Mueller told ABC News today that they remain certain of what the president offered during a private meeting to the family in Arizona in March 2015. They claim that Obama offered to make a significant contribution. I think thats a question the president himself has to answer, since Josh Earnest wasnt there, Mueller said. Im still waiting for that donation, Mr. President. He asked what he could do for you, recalled Marsha Mueller, Kaylas mother. He says, You wont know, itll be an anonymous donation but I will, recalled Kaylas father. The president could have been a hero, but he chose not to, said Carl Mueller concluded. 
3	10 Scientific Studies That Prove Consciousness Can Alter Our Physical WorldArjun Walia Science works best when in harmony with nature. If we put these two together, we can discover great technologies that can only come about when the consciousness of the planet is ready to embrace them, like free energy. I want to make it clear that my intention of presenting this information is to demonstrate that thoughts, intentions, prayer and other units of consciousness can directly influence our physical material world. Consciousness can be a big factor in creating change on the planet. Sending thoughts of love, healing intent, prayer, good intention, and more can have a powerful influence on what you are directing those feelings towards. Fukushima for example, if a mass amount of people send their thoughts and good intention to our waters, we can help mitigate the situation. These concepts can be used on a mass scale as one human race with one intent in their hearts, for multiple problems, as well as individual situations in our own lives. When our consciousness starts to merge into one as a collective, and we all start to see through the same eyes, we will begin to transform the world around us. I believe we are currently in this process. For quite some time now, physicists have been exploring the relationship between human consciousness and its relationship to the structure of matter.Previously it was believed that a Newtonian material universe was the foundation of our physical material reality. This all changed when scientists began to recognize that everything in the universe is made out of energy. Quantum physicists discovered that physical atoms are made up of vorticies of energy that are constantly spinning and vibrating. Matter, at its tiniest observable level, is energy, and human consciousness is connected to it, human consciousness can influence its behavior and even re-structure it. The revelation that the universe is not an assembly of physical parts, but instead comes from an entanglement of immaterial energy waves stems from the work of Albert Einstein, Max Planck and Werner Heisenberg, amongst others. 1. The Quantum Double Slit Experiment The quantum double-slit experiment is a great example of how consciousness and our physical material world are intertwined. One potential revelation of this experience is that the observer creates the reality. A paper published in the peer-reviewed journal Physics Essays explains how this experiment has been used multiple times to explore the role of consciousness in shaping the nature of physical reality. (2) In this experiment, a double-slit optical system was used to test the possible role of consciousness in the collapse of the quantum wave-function. The ratio of the interference patterns double-slit spectral power to its single-slit spectral power was predicted to decrease when attention was focused toward the double slit as compared to away from it. The study found that factors associated with consciousness significantly correlated in predicted ways with perturbations in the double-slit interference pattern.(2) For visual demonstration of this experiment, click here. A fundamental conclusion of the new physics also acknowledges that the observer creates the reality. As observers, we are personally involved with the creation of our own reality. Physicists are being forced to admit that the universe is a mental construction. Pioneering physicist Sir James Jeans wrote: The stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter, we ought rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter. Get over it, and accept the inarguable conclusion. The universe is immaterial-mental and spiritual. (R.C. Henry, The Mental Universe ; Nature 436:29,2005) (1) 2. Government-Sponsored Psychokinesis Experiments Psychokinesis, also known as PK, encompasses the possible influence of human consciousness on the behavior of physical or biological systems or processes, and comprises several loosely related classes of effect characterized by different scales of energy, forms of manifestation, replicability and statistical behavior. (3) In 2004, a United States Air Force research project declassified a paper titled Teleportation Physics Study, authored by Eric Davis, Ph. D., showing that psychokinesis and other parapsychological phenomenon have been subject to rigorous research and documentation by several researchers and institutions. (4) One particular example was the work of professional aerospace engineer Jack Houck, along with Army Colonel J.B. Alexander. They were responsible for holding a number of PK sessions, where attendees were taught the PK induction process and how to initiate their own PK events using various metal specimens like forks and spoons. Individuals were able to completely bend or contort their metal specimens with no physical force being applied whatsoever. (5) These events were held for government science advisers and senior military officials. They took place at the Pentagon, at officers and scientists homes, and at U.S Army Intelligence Security Command locations all over the world. Commanding generals, colonels and more were always in attendance. What was witnessed by all was spontaneous deformation of mental specimens, which caused a great deal of excitement amongst those present. (4) 3. The Global Consciousness Experiment/Random Number Generators The global consciousness experiment is an international, multidisciplinary project between multiple scientists and engineers.(7)(8) It originates from Princeton University, in conjunction with the Institute of Noetic Sciences. It collects data constantly from a worldwide network of physical random number generators located all over the planet. The data is transmitted to a home base, which now has more than 15 years of data stored in it. RNGs are systems created by Princeton researchers that are sensitive to and respond to the intentions of individuals, in other words, the influence of consciousness. They also respond to marked shifts in attention occurring in their environment. Peaks of order are commonly recorded during moments of shared attention and emotions. RNGs also responded, and had the largest effects ever recorded by the Global Consciousness Project during major world events, like 9/11. (6) Other large recordings have occurred on presidential inaugurations, tsunamis and the deaths of public figures. These findings stirred deep questions about the nature of consciousness and its connection to our physical material reality. You can read more about RNGs here 4. NSA/CIA Remote Viewing Experiments In Conjunction With Stanford University Remote viewing is the ability of individuals to describe remote geographical locations up to several hundred thousand kilometers (even more) away. This concept has been proven, demonstrated and documented a number of times. In 1995, the CIA declassified and approved the release of documents revealing its involvement in the program that lasted for more than 25 years. (10) (9) Ingo Swann, one participant in this experiment was able to view specific rings around Jupiter before NASA was about to take pictures of it with their pioneer 10 craft. This was documented in the research. Individuals were also able to view objects and people in separate rooms that were completely blocked off from their present physical location. The fact that some have/had the capability to project their consciousness elsewhere from their present physical location is quite amazing. These projects occurred for decades, while some of the mainstream world continued to view them as pseudoscience, the Department of Defense takes them extremely seriously, and keeps them extremely secret. This program was part of a program called STARGATE and was unexpectedly shut down. (11) You can read more about remote viewing here. 5. Thoughts and Intentions Alter The Physical Structure of Water Experiments over the past four decades have investigated whether human intention alone affects the properties of water. (12) This question has been around for a while in the alternative medicine realms, because the human body is made up of approximately 70% water. According to the Institute of Noetic Sciences, researchers have suggested that intentionally influenced water can be detected by examining ice crystals formed from samples of that water. Consistent results commonly point to the idea that positive intentions tend to produce symmetric, well-formed, aesthetically pleasing crystals, and negative intentions tend to produce asymmetric, poorly formed and unattractive crystals. (12) If thoughts and emotions can do this to water, just imagine what they can do to us. Many people point out that this experiment was a fraud, but its been conducted multiple times and replicated by some highly respectable individuals in the field of science. The paper I am citing here is from Dean Radin, who has published multiple research papers in peer-reviewed journals. The experiment was conducted at the Institute for Noetic Sciences and Adjunct Faculty in the Department of Psychology at Sonoma State University. (12) You can read more about this experiment here This also correlates with a study that examined the role of intention and belief on mood while drinking tea. It explored whether drinking tea treated with good intentions by monks would have an effect on mood more so than drinking ordinary tea. The study was done under double-blind, randomized conditions, and results proved positive. (13) 6. The Placebo Effect Its been well documented that we can change our biology simply by what we believe to be true. The placebo effect is defined as the measurable, observable, or felt improvement in health or behavior not attributable to a medication or invasive treatment that has been administered. It suggests that one can treat various ailments by using the mind to heal. Many studies have shown that the placebo effect (the power of consciousness) is real and highly effective. A Baylor School of Medicine study, published in 2002 in theNew England Journal of Medicine,(1)looked at surgery for patients with severe and debilitating knee pain. Many surgeons know there is no placebo effect in surgery, or so most of them believe. The patients were divided into three groups. The surgeons shaved the damaged cartilage in the knee of one group. For the second group they flushed out the knee joint, removing all of the material believed to be causing inflammation. Both of these processes are the standard surgeries people go through who have severe arthritic knees. The third group received a fake surgery, the patients were only sedated and tricked that they actually had the knee surgery. For the patients not really receiving the surgery, the doctors made the incisions and splashed salt water on the knee as they would in normal surgery. They then sewed up the incisions like the real thing and the process was complete. All three groups went through the same rehab process, and the results were astonishing. The placebo group improved just as much as the other two groups who had surgery.

Another great example of the placebo effect came from the United States Department of Health and Human Services in 1999. The report discovered that half of severely depressed patients taking drugs improve compared to the thirty-two percent taking a placebo. Dont forget about all of the side effects and dangers that have been associated with antidepressants every year. Dont forget that the depression industry alone is a multi-billion dollar one. A 2002 article published in the American Psychological Associationsprevention treatment,by University of Connecticut psychology professor Irving Kirsch titled, The Emperors New Drugs, made some more shocking discoveries(15)(16). He found that 80 percent of the effect of antidepressants, as measured in clinical trials, could be attributed to the placebo effect. This professor even had to file a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to get information on the clinical trials of the top antidepressants. For more on the Placebo Effect, click here. 7. Teleportation It became known to myself, along with several colleagues both inside and outside of government, that anomalous teleportation has been scientifically investigated and separately documented by the Department of Defense. A paper published in the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) in September 1981, in the journalZiran Zazhi (Nature Journal)tiltedSome Experiments on the Transfer of Objects Performed by Unusual Abilities of the Human Body(Shuhuang et al., 1981) reported that gifted children, were able to cause the teleportation of small, physical objects from one place to another.(4)Objects included watches, horseflies, other insects, radio micro-transmitters, photosensitive paper and more. The participants never touched the objects beforehand. The experiments were done under both blind and double-blind conditions, and the researches involved came from various colleges and sectors of the Department of Defense.This is an exceptional case, because it was deemed necessary that an unclassified Intelligence Information Report be prepared for public viewing. More research was done by the Aerospace Medicine Engineering Institute in Beijing, in July of 1990. It was published in the Chinese Journal ofSomatic Science(Kongzhi et al., 1990: Jinggen et al., 1990; Banghui; 1990). This study reported several experiments involving high-speed photography video taping, which was able to capture the transfer of test specimens like nuts, matches, nails, pills and more through the walls of sealed paper envelopes, sealed glass bottles and tubes, sealed plastic film canisters and more without the walls of any of these containers being breached. All of these experiments reported using gifted children and adults to cause the teleportation of various materials. (4) You can read more on teleportation here 8. The Science of The Heart The heart generates the largest electromagnetic field produced in the body. Researchers have analyzed the spectrum analysis of the magnetic field thats produced by the heart, and results have shown that emotional information is encoded into this electromagnetic field. So, by shifting our emotions, we are changing the information that is encoded into these electromagnetic field that are radiated by the heart. This can impact those around us. When we are feeling emotions of compassion, love, gratitude and understanding, the heart beats out a very different message. For more, please visit the Institute of Heartmath. 9/10 And Beyond There are numerous studies documenting how consciousness and our physical material reality are intertwined, in so many different ways, with many different examples like the ones listed above. I am going to leave you with a long list of selected peer-reviewed journal publications on Psi research. This involves anomalous processes of information or energy transfer, telepathy and other forms of unexplained phenomenon that have observable, repeatable outcomes in the lab. Click HERE to continue your research on how consciousness and our physical material world are interconnected. Consciousness plays a very important role in changing our planet. Just having these thoughts alone would contribute to the massive shift in consciousness thats occurring. Find your inner peace, be peace, be love, acting and living your life from such a place plays a very important role in changing the world.

2	Hamilton Star Who Bashed Pence Just Got Exposed For Being THIS... His Career Is Over Hamilton star Brandon Dixon made headlines on Friday when he publicly confronted Vice President-elect Mike Pence on stage. The move quickly sparked controversy and is coming back to haunt Dixon in a major way. We have a message for you, sir, and we hope you will hear us out, Dixon began, speaking to Pence in the audience. Vice President-elect Pence we welcome you and we truly thank you for joining us at Hamilton an American musical, we really do. We, sir, we are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights, sir. But we truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us. All of us. As it turns out, Dixons comments are extraordinarily hypocritical. Red Alert Politics just reported that Dixon has a history of tweeting racist and sexist commentseven condoning rape culture. In 2012, he posted a tweet talking about how easy it is for black men to take advantage of white women on St. Patricks Day. St. Pattys day weekend is like Christmas for black dudes who like white chicks, he tweeted. Happy holidays boys. Just one year later, after the death of Trayvon Martin, Dixon tweeted that he would have sex with one white suburban mother for every racist tweet he saw about the incident. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous? 
2	MSNBC Ends Interview Early After Trump DESTROYS Hosts On Live TV [VIDEO] Trump got into a heated debate with the hosts of MSNBC earlier today. They discussed his earlier comments about banning Muslims from entering the U.S. Trump was warned that if he didnt stop talking they would cut for a commercial break. Trump ignored them and continued on his rampage. See the full exchange in the video below. Do you agree with Donald Trump? 
1	After calling the device 'the item single-handedly responsible for the erosion of our nation's social and cultural foundation' for close to a decade, Jason Whiting gave in to social pressures this weekend and bought a cell phone. Cell-phone owner Jason Whiting. The 34-year-old purchased the Motorola 6620 at the Maple Village Shopping Center. 'I got the simplest, most basic calling plan,' Whiting said. 'I sure as hell wasn't going to get one of those phones that takes pictures. To tell you the truth, I'm not even planning on giving out the number.' Whiting said he was reluctant to accept the 'encroachment of technology' into his personal life, and explained that he '[does not] plan on becoming one of those people with cell phones.' 'This is for emergencies only,' he said. 'In case my car stalls on the freeway and I need to call for help, or in the event that I absolutely must get in touch with someone but am away from home.' Whiting first used the phone Sunday night to check movie times for March Of The Penguins. 'In fact, I use it so little that, when I went to the theater, I forgot to turn off the ringer,' Whiting said. 'When it started ringing, right away I said, 'Who's the jerk with the cell phone?' and I didn't realize it was me. Suffice it to say, I felt very guilty.' 'It was my girlfriend, though, so I had to take it,' he added. Whiting chats on his new phone at a local Marc's Big Boy. Whiting blamed the incident on the fact that he had changed his ring tone several times that morning, from 'Mozart 40' to 'Espionage,' and then finally to 'Sumba.' Anticipating what he called the inevitable 'I told you so' speeches from friends and relatives, Whiting insists that his feelings about the cell phone's negative implications for society remain unchanged. 'Cell phones are a part of a terrible trend toward alienation and the breakdown of civil discourse,' he said. 'It's a fact I made clear when I called in to the NPR talk show I was listening to in the car.' Whiting nonetheless decries overt use of cell phones while driving. 'There's nothing more annoyingand alarmingthan seeing some maniac in an SUV with one hand on the steering wheel while chatting on his cell,' Whiting said. 'That's why I went out this afternoon and bought a hands-free headset. I think it's called Blue-something. It's pretty cool.' 'I knew this was coming,' said Whiting's longtime friend James Patterson, who has known Whiting since his days as a college-radio DJ. 'He used to rail against digital music, saying the 'purity' of vinyl could never be reproduced. But once he bought the Velvet Underground box set for 'completism,' it wasn't long before he sold all his LPs on eBay.' Whiting said owning a cell phone doesn't mean that his attitudes about 'unnecessary market-driven consumerist gadgetry' have changed. 'I am never getting an MP3 player, no matter what,' Whiting said. 'Although my girlfriend might buy me one for Christmas this year.' According to the Radio Shack employee who sold Whiting his phone, Whiting returned yesterday to trade his phone in for an upgrade. Said Whiting of the upgrade: 'Cell phones are thinly disguised control devices thrust upon the masses as a pseudo-necessity. But if I'm going to wear a government tracking collar, I might as well be able to play some games on it.' 
1	Relatives, sorting through boxes at Uday Hussein's home Tuesday, couldn't bear to discard one of the deceased tyrant's favorite torture devices. 'Oh, how Uday loved his electric nutsack shocker,' said Uday's uncle Karim Suleiman al-Majid, as he sifted through a box of clamps, cables, saws, and 8-volt batteries. 'And here's that trusty little knife he would use to dig eyeballs out of their sockets.' Al-Majid said he is sure that Uday would have wanted his favorite cousin Nawaf to have the roll of flensing wire. 
3	As 13 states meet DHS REAL ID standards, remaining get extensions to complyMadison Ruppert, Contributor Brent Daggett, writing for End the Lie, noted that the REAL ID Act could make Americans feel like prisoners within the United States itself and he is not alone in his criticism. Indeed, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has stated that the REAL ID has few benefits and staggering costs while also noting that the regulations themselves are deeply flawed. The DHS claims that REAL ID implementation is critical for maintaining national security, a claim which is patently absurd given they have waived the screening process for chemical plant employees, allowed airport employees to work without background checks and even somehow allowed illegal immigrants to work as supervisors in airports for two decades undetected. Furthermore, the fact that an 82-year-old nun and others can literally walk onto what is supposedly the Fort Knox of uranium without being detected or arrested for quite some time should indicate to us that the government really doesnt care about security. This should indicate, at least to the remotely logical mind, that terrorism really isnt the threat it is being made out to be. While the REAL ID Act was, at first, supposed to become effective in May of 2008, the Obama administration announced in 2011 that it is moving the May 11 deadline for implementation of the Real ID Act to January 15, 2013, so that cash-strapped states will have more time to add security features to drivers licenses and ensure that license holders are who they say they are, as CNN reported. Government Security News Magazine reports that the remaining states that have not complied with the REAL ID standards will get extensions to do so come January 15. However, the Jan. 15, 2013 deadline is actually when the Act itself is supposed to be implemented. New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Secretary Demesia Padilla called this date unrealistic in a statement to local news outlet KRQE. Theyre still saying Real ID is a reality, said Padilla. Its just not a reality on Jan. 15th. The DHS noted that Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, met the REAL ID Act of 2005 standards for drivers licenses and identification cards already, according to Government Security News Magazine. In their Dec. 20 statement, DHS complimented the above states for the substantial progress in working toward these goals and the improvements in security for state-issued drivers licenses and identification cards since 9/11. However, some other states may actually already be in compliance with the standards since they noted that the other states simply havent provided enough information for it to determine if they meet the acts requirements. Homeland Security has granted a temporary extension to the other states and territories that have not provided the information required for the DHSs determination. They added that they would receive and review submissions from states on a rolling basis. Many states have objected to the law, saying it is too costly and could tangle their motor vehicle departments with extra work, including lengthy background checks on all drivers license applicants, and that it carried some privacy rights concerns, noted Government Security News Magazine. Indeed, in a 2006 report (PDF of report here) compiled from surveys conducted by the National Governors Association, National Conference of State Legislatures and the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, the costs were projected to be over $11 billion in the first five years alone. There has also been a lot of opposition within state legislatures and groups ranging across the entirety of the political spectrum from the National Governors Association to the American Civil Liberties Union to the American Conservative Union to the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund to the Cato Institute to the American Center for Law and Justice to the National Organization for Women to Gun Owners of America and more. If states have not complied with the requirements by the January deadline, the DHS has stated that a temporary deferment will be issued in order to allow federal agencies to continue to accept their licenses and identification cards for boarding commercial aircraft, access to federal facilities, and entering nuclear power plants. DHS will, in consultation with States and stakeholders, develop a schedule for the phased enforcement of the Acts statutory prohibitions to ensure that residents of all states are treated in a fair manner, according to the DHS. DHS expects to publish a schedule by early fall 2013 and begin implementation at a suitable date thereafter, the department added, according to PJ Media. This reads like an indefinite extension, although when David Heyman, DHS Assistant Secretary for the Office of Policy, testified before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security on March 21, he claimed that the DHS has no plans to extend the deadline. I guess we will find out how true this is come January.

1	It is the Duty of ev'ry Honest Citizen to ignore ANY THING not told to them on Sunday! A Warning to our Loyal Readers! The PENNSYLVANIA PACKET AND DAILY ADVERTISER, a God less Pile of Gim Crackery not suitable for Stable-lining, has, as indicat'd by its Name, broken with the Time-honor'd and wholly proper Tradition of the Once-a-Week Cycling of News Worthy Occurrences, in Stead electing to publish Daily, & thus deluging our Street Corners, Taverns & Debtors Prisons with a Sea of waste full Broad Sheets. The abhorrent Phenomenon of the daily News Paper, borne from equal Parts Pride & Avarice, and showing wonton Disregard for the proper Instruction of the Citizenry in Matters of publick Import, is at this very Moment our greatest Threat, unless some Thing more heinous has occurred since Sunday. Besides the vulgar Offense of having so many Words thrust upon One's Self with out adequate advance Warning, which is an Affront to the Sensibilities of the Respectable, the fool-hardy Assumption that Events routinely transpire with in a single Rise & Setting of the Sun bestows a further Out Rage. Many of us, it might interest The Pennsylvania Packet And Daily Advertiser to know, prefer to receive a compleat & definitive Account of the Trials of some missing Wool, rather than simply read that it is missing; nor does its Editor understand, that only a partial Telling of the Wool's Situation with no indication of its Fate, creates an unbearable Suspense, which spawns with in the good Christian Reader great Distress & Care, and plagues his Mind with multiple Phantasms, such as if the Wool fell in the River and was eaten by a Fish, or was burnt, or was dyed beyond Recognition, or perhaps e'en an over weening Fear that his own Wool shall go missing. Such Dolefulness can only be resolv'd with a purchase & reading of the next Day's Account; and e'en then it is not assur'd that a satisfying Conclusion to the Wool's Predicament will be provid'd, consequently forcing the Reader to purchase yet another Edition with the Arrival of the next Day, & possibly the next Day after that, and so on to Infinity. Such Relent-less Regularity of Print is a heavy Iron Yoke up'n the Populace, as apparently we must now be a Continent of BUSY-BODIES to fill these disparate & uncheck'd Pages, eternally waging War or winning Horse Races for each new Day of the Week. Do not fall Victim to this Cult of Cease-less Happenings, good Sirs and Madames! Remember that e'en God Him Self did only at the END of the Week reflect on His Creation! 
1	A poll released Monday by the D.C.-based firm Hahn & Associates revealed that 71 percent of Americans approve of President Clinton's current approval rating of 63 percent. According to the poll, just 11 percent of Americans believe Clinton's approval rating should be 'significantly lower,' while 18 percent believe it should be 'much higher.' 'This poll is a clear public mandate for the president, as a great majority of Americans strongly support his current level of support,' White House press secretary Mike McCurry said. The 71 percent represents Clinton's highest approval-rating approval rating since taking office. 
3	West Virginia Bill to Keep Guard Troops Out of Unconstitutional Foreign Wars Killed by Pentagon ThreatsBy Shane Trejo But while the bill failed to pass, its story reveals the power and potential of this approach. Opposition and backroom threats wouldnt have existed if the legislation didnt actually pose a threat to the unconstitutional status quo. Del. Pat McGeehan (R-Hancock, 1) sponsored the Defend the Guard Act (House Bill 2168), McGeehan served as a former Air Force intelligence officer and did tours in Afghanistan and the Middle East. Ten other delegates co-sponsored this bipartisan legislation. The bill would have prohibited West Virginia Guard units from deploying into active duty combat without an official Declaration of War from the US Congress, or as provided for under the three enumerated powers listed in the militia clause of the Constitution. The story behind the bills demise is as fascinating as it is alarming. McGeehan said the bill started with strong bipartisan support and things initially looked promising. The bill wraps the Principles of 1798, 10th Amendment values, along with pushing back against U.S. foreign policy and the war hawks that have promoted this anti-Founders vision for the last several decades. It is resistance against the Warfare State, and yet conservatives and liberals here gave it strong support, he said. The bill was set to run on the first committees agenda, as I had several more influential members of the legislature co-sponsor it with me, including two major committee chairs. The Speaker of the House even tacitly endorsed it. In spite of the initial momentum, the bill died shortly after Washington D.C. got wind of it. Its potential ramifications frightened the power structure. McGeehan said certain phone calls were made that brought HB2168s progress to a screeching halt. As the bill started picking up much media attention, the Speaker of the House called me and asked to meet in his office, as the Adjutant General of the West Virginia National Guard, a two-star general, got wind of it, and wanted to meet as soon as possible, he said. During the meeting in the Speakers office, the Adjutant General stated that he received a phone call from the office of the Chief of Staff of the US Army at the Pentagon, who evidently was very irate. He had told the Adjutant General of the West Virginia Guard, If that bill sees the light of day, your Guard bases in West Virginia will find their way onto the BRAC closure list. Guard troops played significant roles in all modern overseas conflicts, with over 650,000 deployed since 2001. More specifically, West Virginia National Guard troops participated in missions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Kosovo and elsewhere. Since none of these missions were accompanied by a Constitutional declaration of war, the Defend the Guard Act would have prohibited the deployments. Such declarations have only happened five times in U.S. history, with the last being in World War II. Fully recognizing the important role the National Guard plays in effectuating U.S. foreign policy goals, the Pentagon wasted no time in twisting arms and making threats to kill HB2168. The Adjutant General of the West Virginia Guard actually agreed with me though. He started tearing up during the meeting, talking about how many boys and girls he has had to see come back from Iraq and Afghanistan in caskets draped in the American flag, for nothing but this futile nation-state building, McGeehan said. But since such an authoritarian response from the Pentagon was issued immediately, he was very worried. While some may view the failure of the Defend the Guard Act this time around as a setback, it actually validates the work pursued by McGeehan. The quick response from D.C. indicates the powers-that-be know state refusal to cooperate can throw a monkey wrench in the warfare state. And it may be the only way to force the United States to abide by war powers laid out in the Constitution. In spite of millions of people throughout the country engaging in massive protests, little headway was made against the war machine. However, working at the state level, we can effectively limit the resources at the disposal of the military-industrial complex. Though I could not get the bill to run, we are going to come back and push it hard again, McGeehan said. Only we want to reach out to other like-minded state legislators from different states to potentially introduce similar legislation in a more coordinated approach a strength-in-numbers strategy. I see this concept as a solid way of resistance. You can help McGeehan spearhead this revolution of state-level resistance against aggressive and unconstitutional wars waged illegally by the federal government. Call your state legislator and politely, but respectfully ask that they Defend the Guard. Explain this legislation to them, and link them to this article if necessary.

'It was horribleCathy didn't have any of her numbers written down anywhere else, and she was waiting on a call about last-minute tickets for a concert,' said best friend Melissa Barreth, who was with Polk when she first discovered that her Cingular V400 quad band/GSM cell phone was not in her purse. 'We tried everything to find it, but in the end, there was nothing we could do.' The coroner's report confirmed that Polk died of a sudden lack of wireless service.

1	Life is funny sometimes. One day, you're outside enjoying your freedom at the local courts, taking in a nice game of J.V. ladies' basketball, and then just like that you get hauled off to court, convicted of some ridiculous crime* and tossed into some rat trap like a common criminal. Worst of all is that the two candidates still won't give me the time of day. What of it, Obama and McCain? Too busy going on about bailouts and Russia and God Knows What to talk about the real issues? When are you going to finally speak out against this injustice? Believe me, this issue is too important to ignore any longer. It's true: the conditions here are terrible. I currently live in a 7 x 10 windowless tank with poured concrete furniture. The weight rooms are overcrowded, the food is terrible, cable t.v. is only available if you're 'affiliated,' and for some reason there seems to be a horrific act of violence committed on or around 4 p.m. every day. Where is the outrage? The last time I saw someone, I told him I didn't do anything wrong, and he just laughed at me and said, 'oh, me too, brother.' This place reminds me of Shawshank, except that I don't have skills I can turn into favors from my warden, and also there's no hope of escape. Why don't Barry and Johnny have the courage to talk about our nation's prisoners? We are 7.2 million strong! We have families and hopes and needs deep-seated, unquenchable needs just like the rest of you. Doesn't anyone care about what happens to me? I haven't lost my right to vote just yet, gentlemen. 
2	Russians Attack Refugees Who Molested Their Women According to recent reports, a group of 51 refugees were brutally assault outside of a night club in Murmansk, Russia after they allegedly groped and molested women at a night club. The men had previously been ordered to leave Norway for bad behavior. The men obviously thought that they would have better luck in Russiabut citizens quickly made it abundantly clear that they will not tolerate this kind of assault on women. When the men tried to flee the scene, they were capture by a group of Russian who assaulted them in the street. 18 of the refugees were sent to the hospital. Russia has been noticeably vocal in the rise of sexual assault incidents in European countries at the hands of refugees. They accused the German police of covering up the assaults in Cologne on New Years Eve. This is just one of several cases of citizens taking matters into their own hands. What do you think? Do you support these Russians for defending the victims? 
1	Moments after taking generous servings from the first several steam trays at all-you-can-eat restaurant Peppers Kitchen, local man Lucas Schultz was reportedly kicking himself Friday for squandering precious plate space at the very outset of the buffet line. Schultz, who took stock of the wide array of appetizers, pastas, side dishes, and meats offered on the homestyle smorgasbord, is said to have identified the mistake almost immediately while adding an unnecessary second scoop of green bean casserole to his already packed plate, causing him to mentally chastise himself for his reckless lack of foresight. Man, I really screwed this one up, said Schultz, looking up from the plate loaded with steamed corn, scalloped potatoes, and macaroni salad to see that he had left little room for the wealth of dining choices still to come in the 20-foot-long buffet. Theres no way I need this much red beans and rice. And its taking up, like, a quarter of my space. If I knew there were barbecue wings, I wouldnt have even taken most of this stuff, the 37-year-old added. Schultz, sources confirmed, grew increasingly frustrated with his rash choices at the buffet and quietly berated himself while looking ahead in line and noticing other customers happily piling pot roast, honey-glazed baked ham, and fried shrimp onto their dishware. Compounding the difficult situation, Schultz reportedly became acutely aware of pressure building behind him as patrons impatiently waited while he deliberated his next move. Schultz, who is said to have grown even more flustered while attempting to decide whether his plate could accommodate both beef stroganoff and baked haddock, reportedly apologized under his breath and mistakenly hurried past a tray of meatloaf he had previously been looking forward to trying. Despite his fellow customers expressing their annoyance with sighs and scowling, Schultz reportedly continued to assess the remaining buffet items, frantically making mental calculations to determine what might possibly fit on the cramped plate and making the difficult decision of foregoing certain dishes he desired. I hate to admit it, but at this point I have to completely rule out the country fried steak, said Schultz, who admitted to reporters he had no one but himself to blame for the blunder. And theres probably no way I can realistically even consider the carved turkey and gravy or chicken and dumplings. Boy, I really should have thought this through when I first started grabbing food, added Schultz, who appeared envious as he watched patrons on the opposite side of the buffet casually spoon up large servings of baked macaroni and cheese. After quickly dismissing the ideas of putting back the untouched cornbread he had taken or eating some of his buffet choices off his plate while standing in line, Schultz is said to have contemplated stacking Italian meatballs on top of jambalaya before ultimately abandoning the notion and heading for the fried chicken drumsticks. Schultz, however, reportedly softened his self-criticism momentarily when he eyed several unappealing seafood options and surmised that it was no big deal to miss out on sampling that cuisine. Those close to the situation told reporters that Schultz experienced his sharpest sense of regret when he approached the buffets meat lasagnaa dish that he has reportedly described on several prior occasions as one of his favoritesand noted with frustration that there was no conceivable manner with which he could fit one of the pre-cut portions onto his plate. I wasted too much of my plate space early on, and now Im paying for it, said Schultz, shaking his head while looking down toward the plate he had loaded nearly to capacity. Id like to get one of those smaller end pieces of lasagna on there, but I dont think I can even pull that off. What was I thinking? At press time, Schultz was at the end of the buffet, paralyzed with indecision as he attempted to choose between filling his remaining sliver of free plate space with a grilled bratwurst or pulled pork. 
2	Obama Floods United States With Record Number Of Convicted Felons On Wednesday, President Barack Obama commuted the sentences of 214 federal inmates, including 67 inmates who were serving life sentences. This marked the largest single-day action of its kind since 1900, and brings Obamas total for the year to 375. Throughout his presidency, Obama has commuted the sentences of 562. That number surpasses the combined total number of sentences commuted by the nine presidents before him. Were going to keep our foot on the gas pedal when it comes to reviewing applications for clemency, White House counsel Neil Eggleston wrote in a blog post. Our work is far from finished. I expect the president will continue to grant clemency in a historic and inspiring fashion. In 2014, the Obama administration launched an initiative to review sentences of drug offenders who were sentenced to harsher terms than they would like to receive under sentencing guidelines. Legislation has been introduced in Congress to reduce sentences for nonviolent drug offenders, but it is not likely it will pass in the pre-election weeks after Congress returns from recess. Many people will use words today like leniency and mercy, Kevin Ring, the vice president of Families Against Mandatory Minimums, said in a statement. But what really happened is that a group of fellow citizens finally got the punishment they deserved. Not less, but, at long last, not more. What do you think of this move on Obamas part? 
1	Shortly after his delivery Thursday at Mercy Gorham Crossing Primary Hospital, a local newborn reportedly panicked upon realizing that his respiratory aptitude would be scored as part of the upcoming Apgar test. Woah, woah, woahI knew reflexes and skin tone would be on this thing, but breathing? No one said anything about that, the visibly anxious infant said of the standardized test administered by physicians immediately after birth. I cant believe Im going to nail the grimace section and fucking fail breathing. I would have stayed in there longer and prepared had I known. I hate tests. I really do. At press time, the newborn had broken down crying during the Apgar, passing it with flying colors. 
1	Richard Karl, a 47-year-old assembly-line worker at Quaker Oats' Cap'n Crunch With Crunchberries plant in De Kalb, was fired Monday following an 'Oops! All Berries' mishap.' 'This cereal is supposed to have a yellow-piece-to-Crunchberry ratio of 4:1,' Quaker spokeswoman Melissa Dyer said. 'But Mr. Karl failed to pull the lever that sends the yellow bits down the chute into the big funnel, so there aren't any in Monday's entire batch of cereal. It's all Crunchberries.' Added Dyer: 'What are we going to do with all these boxes of pure Crunchberries? You'd have to really love Crunchberries to want to eat these.' 
1	Magic center Dwight Howard shared his love of books with boys and girls at the Orlando Public Library for five hours Saturday, teaching the group of 10-year-olds the basic fundamentals of shooting paperbacks, hardcovers, and even full sets of reference books into a nearby wastebasket as part of a community outreach program to promote literacy. 'Books allowed me to escape the troubled Atlanta streets,' Howard said, telling the children how, as a child, he would spend countless hours perfecting his jump shot, lay-up, and even dunks with the reading material at his local library. 'Books helped me to fulfill my potential by showing me that anything is possible, as long as you focus on the hole of the garbage can rim and stay smooth on your follow-through.' While Howard emphasized to the children the importance of foot placement, bending their knees, and stabilizing the book and guiding it, he stressed it was also vital to run to the trashcan following the shot to maximize offensive rebound opportunities. 
2	Obama Scrambles And Goes Into Hiding After This Investigation Leaks From the beginning of his presidency, Americans throughout the country have questioned Obamas true identify. It is safe to say that when know less about Barack Obama than we do any other president in history, and it seems that he is going above and beyond to keep it that way. Now, a nation-wide network of researchers is working harder than ever to uncover the truth about our President. And its costing Obama millions of dollars to keep his secrets safe. If he has nothing to hide, why would he bother? The truth is, Obama is keeping his medical records, school records, birth records, and passport records under wrapsand Americans are anxious to know why. For almost every document the President HAS produced, weve seem reports or evidence contradicting them. What do you think? Is it time Americans learned the real story? 
1	A new study published on fan behavior this week revealed that the common practice of waving objects behind the basket to distract free throw shooters has succeeded only three times in the NBAs 67-year history. It doesnt matter if the objects are inflatable plastic noodles, signs that say Miss It, or cardboard cutouts of playerswaving them around almost never has any effect on the free throw shooter whatsoever, said the studys lead author Andrew Townsend, noting that the only three times the strategy worked were St. Louis Hawks point guard Jack McMahons second missed free throw against the Celtics on March 2, 1957; Philadelphia 76ers center Darryl Dawkins first missed free throw in Game 2 of the 1980 Eastern Conference Finals; and Detroit Pistons forward Tayshaun Princes fourth failed attempt against the Chicago Bulls on January 6, 2007. These are professional athletes were talking about. They know how to deal with this stuff. Theyre not going to miss just because youre frantically shaking something. The study did confirm, however, that shouting brick just before a free throw causes players accuracy to drop by 20 to 30 percentage points. 
1	With CEO Tim Cook stating that desperate customers would surely line up like idiots to purchase the offensive product anyway, Apple announced today the release of the companys new iPhone 5, which features the word nigger boldly embossed on its back. Sure, the new iPhone has the word nigger printed right on it, but we all know you pathetic losers will still buy it in droves, because, hell, youll buy anything we put out, Cook said in a press conference, describing the lightweight smartphone that will include a larger high-resolution display and have the racial slur printed in 36-point Helvetica font directly on its back, as well as on every accessory sold for the product. Our technology ensures the word will brightly light up through whatever cover or sticker you may use in an attempt to obscure it, so dont even try. You are all very stupid and sheeplike, and I will enjoy watching this play out. Cook followed the iPhone 5 announcement with a brief preview of the companys updated iPad, which will feature a loud, unchangeable ringtone of Roseanne Barr repeatedly yelling faggot. 
1	Students, faculty, and attendees at California University of Pennsylvanias commencement ceremony stood and cheered Sunday as 93-year-old Esther Goodwyn, a fuckup who took seven decades to graduate from college, for Christs sake, finally received her diploma. Esther Marie Goodwyn! school president Geraldine Jones announced to raucous applause as the lazy woman, who did in 75 years what most people only need four to do, was helped up the steps and guided to the podium. Congratulations, Esther. Following the ceremony, Goodwyn gave World War II, raising her children, and caring for her ailing husband as frankly pitiful excuses for why she was unable to receive her diploma on time like a normal person, and reportedly neglected to mention that she is also a grade-A idiot who needed a lifetime to graduate from a school that sure as shit isnt Harvard. 
1	Rushing to finish their errands and leave the premises as quickly as possible, every patron at the Eastview Mall reported Thursday that they were quietly dreading whatever has been planned for the empty stage erected near the south entrance of the shopping center. Oh, Christ, why the hell do they need three microphones? said shopper Dalia Adams, 38, who nervously added that she had spotted a small child in a sequined top hat lurking near the stage. I dont even want to know what they plan to do with that huge PA system. And it looks like theres a lot of room up there for peoplemaybe a bunch of peopleto dance around. If its some kind of swing dancing thing, we gotta get out of here right now. At press time, nearly 2,000 shoppers simultaneously cursed under their breath and headed for the nearest available exit just as a sound check began. 
2	Georgias New Plan To Arrest Welfare Abusers As many know, the food stamps program is intended to help low income families afford food. Recently, however, more and more stories are coming to light revealing dishonesty and abuse of the system. It appears that when given the chance, many people tend to trade the food stamps for cash, and end up buying whatever they want. Such action is illegal. Georgia authorities have discovered this new type of fraud, and 54 people were arrested for opening grocery stores that service welfare recipients. According to reports, food stamps were being traded in for cash at the store, for only a percentage of their actual value. 90 people were arrested for using the service to commit fraud. Although there is currently no indication of legal penalties for committing welfare fraud, the first punishment that occurs for an offender is to lose funding. In that case, the person facing charges will not be able to obtain food stamps for a period of time, and could even be permanently banned for the program. What do you think of welfare abusers? 
2	Trump Just Did What All The Liberals Said Was Impossible... Its Happening On Wednesday, president-elect Donald Trump announced the addition of roughly 8,000 new jobs for Americans, including 5,000 that telecommunications giant Sprint has promised to bring from all around the world. Theyre coming back to the United States, which is a nice change, Trump said, noting that the other 3,000 jobs will come from a new company called One Web. A good portion of Trumps campaign was promising to return jobs to the United States that American companies had moved overseas, in search of cheaper labor. Last month, he announced that Carrier would be keeping roughly 1,000 jobs in Indiana. Trump had spent months criticizing the air-conditioning corporation for plans to move the jobs to Mexico. Speaking from his Mar a Largo estate in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump said he had a nice and general conversation earlier in the day with President Obama. Last week, Trump opposed the Obama administrations decision to allow the United Nations to pass a resolution condemning Israel for building more settlements in West Bank. Trump said that the United Nations has tremendous potential but is not living up to itself adding that John Kerrys speech earlier in the day spoke ofr itself. What do you think? Are you ready for Trump to be in the White House?

2	Donald Trump Breaks New Record Liberals have been waiting for GOP-frontrunner Donald Trump to fall out of the leading position for some time now, but according to new reports from The Week, it looks like Trump has it in the bag. Trump not only could winhe could win more decisively than any non-incumbent Republican contestant for the nomination since the dawn of the modern primary system, one analysis said. And while polls in the primaries arent always accurate, they do give a strong representation of how votes will pan out on Election Day. Trump has been leading the New Hampshire polls by double digits since August of last year. The contender who comes in second place in New Hampshire is the most viable challenge. At this point, John Kasich is lined up behind Trump, but Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, and even Jeb Bush are all said to have a shot, The Week noted, claiming that the runner-up is projected to be an establishment-friendly candidate. In states like Iowa, Trump is also coming head to head with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. If Cruz were to come out on top in Iowa, The Week notes that it could be an unwelcome indication of whats to come for him. The article noted that Iowa voters often dont select the presumptive GOP nominee. For the rest of the country, there is a very real chance that they will be voting in Trumps favorand by a landslide. What do you think about Trumps poll numbers? 
3	How NSA Mass Surveillance is Hurting the US EconomyTrevor Timm The Wall Street Journal recently reported that ATTs desired acquisition of the European company Vodafone is in danger due to the companys well-documented involvement in the NSAs data-collection programs. European officials said the telecommunications giant would face intense scrutiny in its bid to purchase a major cell phone carrier. The Journal went on to say: Resistance to such a deal, voiced by officials in interviews across Europe, suggests the impact of the NSA affair could extend beyond the diplomatic sphere and damage US economic interests in key markets. In September, analysts at Cisco Systems reported that the fallout reached another level, when the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) told companies not to use cryptographic standards that may have been undermined by the NSAs BULLRUN program. The Cisco analysts said that if cryptography was compromised it would be a critical blow to trust required across the Internet and the security community. This forecast was proven true in mid-November, when Cisco reported a 12 percent slump in its sales in the developing world due to the NSA revelations. As the Financial Times reported, new orders fell by 25 percent in Brazil and 30 percent in Russia and Cisco predicts its overall sales could drop by as much 10 percent this quarter. Cisco executives were quoted saying the NSAs activities have created a level of uncertainty or concern that will have a deleterious impact on a wide-range of tech companies. This summer, European Parliaments civil liberties committee was presented with a proposal to require every American website to place surveillance notices to EU citizens in order to force the US government to reverse course: The users should be made aware that the data may be subject to surveillance (under FISA 702) by the US government for any purpose which furthers US foreign policy. A consent requirement will raise EU citizen awareness and favour growth of services solely within EU jurisdiction. This will thus have economic impact on US business and increase pressure on the US government to reach a settlement. [emphasis ours] Meanwhile, Telenor, Norways largest telecom provider has reportedly halted its plans to move its customers to a US-based cloud provider. Brazil seems to be moving ahead to create its own email service and require US companies locate an office there if they wish to do business with Brazilian customers. Laws like this mean that companies like Google could be barred from doing business in one of the worlds most significant markets, according to Googles director for law enforcement and information security at Google, Richard Selgado. Google has been warning of this as far back as July, when in FISA court documents it argued that the continued secrecy surrounding government surveillance demands would harm its business. Many commentators have been warning about the economic ramifications for months. Princeton technologist Ed Felten, who previously at the Federal Trade Commission, bestexplained why the NSA revelations could end up hurting US businesses: This is going to put US companies at a competitive disadvantage, because people will believe that U.S. companies lack the ability to protect their customersand people will suspect that U.S. companies may feel compelled to lie to their customers about security. The fallout may worsen. One study released shortly after the first Edward Snowden leaks saidthe economy would lose $22 to $35 billion in the next three years. Another study by Forrester said the $35 billion estimate was too low and pegged the real loss figure around $180 billion for the US tech industry by 2016. Much of the economic problem stems for the US governments view that its open season when it comes to spying on non-U.S. persons. As Mark Zuckerberg said in September, the governments position isdont worry, were not spying on any Americans. Wonderful, thats really helpful for companies trying to work with people around the world. Googles Chief Legal Officer David Drummond echoed this sentiment last week, saying: The justification has been couched as Dont worry. Were only snooping on foreigners. For a company like ours, where most of our business and most of our users are non-American, thats not very helpful. Members of Congress who care about the US economy should take note: the companies losing their competitive edge due to NSA surveillance are mainstream economic drivers. Just as their constituents are paying attention, so are the customers who vote with their dollars. As Sen. Ron Wyden remarked last month, If a foreign enemy was doing this much damage to the economy, people would be in the streets with pitchforks.

2	BREAKING: Tens Of Thousands Of Clinton Voters Discovered In Ohio Warehouse Election officials in Franklin County, Ohio are scratching their heads about the discovery of thousands of votes for Hillary Clinton and other Democratic candidates. According to reports, Randall Prince, a Columbus-area electrical worker, was doing a routine sweep of his companys wiring and electrical systems when he discovered a dozen black, sealed ballot boxes filled with thousands of ballots. No one really goes in this building. Its mainly used for short-term storage by a commercial plumber, Prince commented. When Prince, a Trump supporter, spotted the boxes, he knew he had to investigate. What he found was potential evidence of an illegal operation to give Clinton the swing state. Franklin County has launched an investigation into the incident. Some believe that the story was planted to be a false alarm so that future stories of voter fraud will be discounted. What do you think of this story? 
3	New 90-Day Rat Study Destroys Corporate GMO PropagandaBy Brandon Turbeville This is because yet another study has been published demonstrating the negative health effects of GMOs on the intestinal tract. This study by Ibrahim and Okasha entitled Effect of genetically modified corn on the jejunal mucosa of adult male albino rat., and published in the journal Experimental and Toxicologic Pathology has demonstrated that rats fed GM Bt corn MON810 for only 90 days did indeed suffer rather serious damage to the surface mucous membranes of the jejunum which is part of the small intestine. The specific type of corn fed to the rats was MON810: Ajeeb YG. This is a GM version of Ajeeb, which is a local species of corn grown in Egypt. The GM version was created by Monsanto for the Egyptian market. The rats who were fed the GM corn were given the MON810 corn as 30% of their diet. The control group was given the same amount of non-GMO corn. In the group fed GM corn, the finger-like structures in the intestine known as villi that absorbs nutrients from food were clearly damaged. They were both distorted and flattened and some cells were even joined together. The study includes images and shows photographs of the damage. There were also signs of inflammation around the areas of damage in the form of white blood cell infiltration. The mucosal glands were disturbed and blood vessels were congested. There was also an increased level of shedding of mucosal cells, higher rates of division of cells lining the mucosal glands and larger numbers of mucous secreting goblet cells. The damage to the GM-fed rats was so obvious, that the researchers concluded, consumption of GM-corn profoundly alters the jejunal histological [microscopic] structure They also added that, Results from the current study could show that in spite of the assuring reports on GM products, GM corn has profoundly altered the histological structure of the jejunal mucosa at many levels and revealed several alarming signs, as the proliferative and eroded hemorrhagic lesions in addition to several ultrastructural alterations described here for the first time for jejunum under GM corn influence. The researchers also called for more research to be done in order to determine exactly how this strain of GM corn inflicted this type of damage on the intestinal system. Their suppositions include direct damage as a result of the Bt toxin or indirect damage as a result of gut bacteria disruption. The limitations of the study include the fact that the control group was not given the Ajeeb non-GM variety and there was no analysis in terms of the possibility of the presence of pesticide residues and other contaminants. Still, the findings of this new study are extremely significant in that they demonstrate that at best, GM MON810: Ajeeb YG causes damage to the intestinal system. However, the results do seem to indicate that it is the process of genetic modification that is the cause of this damage. This is not the only study of its kind. As GM Watch writes, Two earlier rat feeding studies by Egyptian scientists on the same GM corn, MON810: Ajeeb YG, showed harm in the GM-fed animals. In these cases, the comparator was the appropriate non-GM parent variety Ajeeb, so the ill effects shown in the rats were due to the GM process. In the first study, rats fed the MON810: Ajeeb YG for 45 and 91 days showed differences in organ and body weights and in blood biochemistry, compared with rats fed the non-GM Ajeeb parent variety grown side-by-side under the same conditions. The authors noted that the changes could indicate potential adverse health/toxic effects, which needed further investigation.[3] In the second study, histopathological (microscopic) investigations by the same group of researchers found toxic effects in multiple organs in the rats fed the GM MON810: Ajeeb YG Bt corn for 91 days. Effects included abnormalities and fatty degeneration of liver cells, congestion of blood vessels in kidneys, and excessive growth and necrosis (death) of the intestinal villi. Examination of the testes revealed necrosis and desquamation (shedding) of the spermatogonial cells that are the foundation of sperm cells and thus of male fertility.[4] It is significant that the findings of the second study, namely cell abnormalities, congestion of blood vessels, and damage to the intestinal villi were also found in the new study by Ibrahim and Okasha. It should be noted, that in both of these studies the non-GM Ajeeb variety was used for the control group, thus demonstrating that the process of genetic modification is most likely the culprit for such damage. Likewise it should be noted that the rats showed now outward signs of illness (possibly due to the short duration of the study) but they were clearly sick. Perhaps now we can begin putting to rest the disingenuous claims by GMO proponents that there are no studies showing the dangers of GMOs. As more and more studies are published demonstrating the danger of GMOs corporations, governmental regulatory bodies and scientific call girls as well as the fake news media outlets that constantly tout the benefits of GMOs will continue to lose their credibility.

Dear Monsanto executives, go into hiding now while you still can because were coming for you. Not real threatening, coming from Gazoo, lol Gazoo can snap his fingers and turn you into a water buffalo but prefers to use language as a weapon. The pen is mightier than the sword. Hasnt Monsanto merged with the other Pharma Giant Bayer in Germany? Good point. Dear Bayer executives, your ass is grass (Non GMO). YES Rats are not a good animal for studies because rats given the same vaccines as human children develop autism and doctors will tell you that vaccines dont cause autism. and I always believe my doctor. Monsatino CEOs wont allow their own gut killing gmo into their cafeterias. One of the gut problems not recognized is that GMO ingredients in nutrition supplements may be from GMO sources, e.g., soy-based or other ingredients, i.e., vegetable oils (canola, corn, soy or possibly cottonseed), which also negatively are impacting humans intestinal tracts and microbiome. That would be another reason to purchase organically-grown-ingredients nutrition supplements, vitamins and minerals, and herbs. St. Louis Post Dispatch (from home of Monsanto) had an article a few yrs. back showing pigs fed GMO corn had intestinal damage and weight gain vs. non GMO cornhere is why you see obesity and stomach disorders today. Think Mainstream Media will run Exposes with these Facts? Interesting that the Egyptian study found the same problems. Is corn in the US also 98% GMO? We read that soy is, cotton is. Im pretty sure that folks are having to import organic corn theres so little of it grown in the U.S. The corn that goes into Ethanol being GMO affects us how? Great comment with awesome videos and links. Happy New Year! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7e909cb73371d279704caaef7ed0ac12dca023511ee5388ddc83edb07b1a171a.jpg Yet Hawaii continues to import over 75% of all calories consumed. I wanted to share this on a site away from the ACSH site this is Hank Campbell literally denying that PCBs bioaccumulate. Thats a basic scientific fact. Hes a denier. Hes a total denier of reality for the chemical industry and the ACSH needs to be destroyed. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/eefa1706384c580ff470a8af03bfe53d00da7dd896b0646ac29ad6c64f500584.png Lol, ESP! I just read that exact comment on (what I assumed is Hanks site)but from what Ive seen of that siteI felt that a comment their is like one on GLP, a noble endeavor but not my cup of tea. My first thought after reading that:( we must now be living in the dystopian future portrayed in idiocracy. It is a basic fact, I was going to cite several peer-reviewed papers but if he doesnt believe a word in the dictionarywow, dont even know where to begin. I guess he thinks if the lie is big and he keeps repeating ita propagandist Its like in 1984 where everything is named as the opposite of its true purpose and flat out lies are expected to be acceptedwhat an inappropriately named site. Its strange that this propaganda and GLP are still considered news when searching Google. Youre correct with the previous summation of industry PR attempting to hijack the so called skeptic community. The so called skeptics who; unfortunately, due to the American education system, often seem incapable of a logical thought. The ability to harness the energy of these useful idiots, as they call them, is a travesty. Share what? You going off on Monsanto with your eternal grudge, and being corrected by a knowledgeable person? Whats new in any of that? Its about all you ever do, weve all seen it a hundred times before. A study with a sample size of 10 rats its hardly worth reporting on. Its reporting on weak evidence like this that makes this outlet lose credibility. There isnt any credibility to be lost at this point. Notice the journal has an impact factor of 1.7 and the actual study isnt available without paying to see it. Thats always a huge tell. 10 out of 10 rats doesnt do it for you? Well, no problem, theres plenty of GMO food out there for you. No shortage. Just continue doing exactly what you are doing. We all have Free Will. Mmmm we funaly get study results we should have been provide before we were given the lie substantially equivalent..25 years after the fact.and everyone wants to ignore the pecuniary element of selling glyphosate Just like you want to ignore your criminal record. 
3	2016: The Year of Conscious ActivismBy Josh del Sol Lets be honest: 2015 has been a very trying year on the whole. I can relate to what so many around the world are sensing, like theres an epic battle of light and dark happening. Its not just the Star Wars talking. Its been really difficult watching the war of duality in the real world, with real people. Most of what seemed true and reliable in our world, were finding out simply isnt what we thought. Radiation-pulsing utility meters and space Wi-Fi surveillance agendas to blanket the planet and fry the atmosphereseriously? Our utilities and communication industry have become agents of harm. The science, the symptoms, and our hearts all speak loud and clear that this is the path to the dark side. Yet on the positive side, while we are faced with an invasion of our rights and corrupt agendas, Im seeing a rising indignation at the suggestion that this is somehow the new normal. The movie projector of the old power-and-control paradigm is dimming, at an exponential rate. The illusion of it is less solid now on our reality screen. Its there its just increasingly disconnected from what we sense to be valid and rational. Were in a time of whole systems breakdown, as Marianne Williamson puts it. And we want to write a new story. The corp-gov-military machine, while losing the information war (admitted back in 2011), is simultaneously lurching for total control. A last desperate attempt? The time-tested ways of activism like the old paradigm itself just arent working. There is a growing sense that appealing to the authorities is like going to the captain of the pirate ship complaining about the pirates. So its not really a surprise that theres no real remedy available there. Things change when activism gets intentional and connected. Bless the angry-appealers, the love-n-lighters, and the complacent-churchers but each of these well-meaning groups have been operating in a bubble which hasnt yet found the trick to actually changing things here yet. The new currency will be love backed by action. Truth backed by commitment. I havent been writing much lately during this current phase of development, but I was really inspired by these insights that others recently shared with me. I hope you enjoy it and are encouraged. Hi All, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to ALL my friends. If you bring forth what is inside you, Although Im not Christian, these words by Jesus of Nazareth, have been my inspiration and I think of them often, especially at times when I feel that there is no stop to the wireless tsunami. These words remind me that win or lose I have to bring forth whatever it is in me to do what I think is right. These words are true to every one of us who learned all too well about the not so generous nature of humans. Our chance of adding light into a world with much darkness is dependent on each and every one of us doing their best with the talents they have, to make this world a better place. To make people understand that religion is supposed to bring tolerance and kindness not war, hate and death and to dissolve the power of money, a force that creates more destruction than the good it brings. Until we truly realize our full potential and effect, both individually and collectively, we can easily live in a state of semi-conscious discouragement and disempowerment when it neednt be that way. Our warfare is primarily spiritual. Yet spirituality manifests in many ways, and much of it is informational. This in turn leads to more conscious awareness and much more conscious action, as well as fundamental non-compliance with the influences of todays imposed spiritual and societal constructs We realize we each change the very fabric of this morphic field that results in this experience we call reality. Our effect is enormous, knowing the connected fabric that underlies all of creation is ours to affect for the better. To grasp that empowerment and respond is to change everything, ourselves first and then all that is around us. Find that place. Anything short of it is next to futile. Yank the morphic rug a good one and as often as you can. It sends them [the corp-gov-military complex] reeling and signals others to do the same. They cant operate on a playing field managed by loving, conscious awareness. Their plans will only continue to quake and crumble. They know this and are afraid of us. That is the truth. (Looking at the other 260+ comments, people are really getting it en masse! Thanks to Ed F and Marilynne M for forwarding.) I do not like this smart home scam, I will not cook green eggs on stove These chipped appliances must GO Who says Big Brother always knows best?

The legend of Osiris, Isis, and Horus: Osiris, listening to the tempter Typhon, is murdered. Isis goes in search of him. She finds him, but discovers that one part is missing. Never-theless, she conceives, and brings forth a son, Horus, who sits upon the throne of the father. You are soul dudeyour optimism will be pounded by reality. All the time spent to get a few people to understand what this world is truely all about. And in my opinion, they are being over-educated about the facts of life. But still those enlightened people are powerless and much too late to turn the tide against the evil that runs this world. It will be many generations before any substantive and noticeable change comes to fruition. And IMO, theyll be far fewer people on this planet. My guess is that many of the powerful do not like what they see: laziness, ignorance, egotistical, selfishness and wastefulness. I too do not like what I see here in america, so i understand how the elite feel. The only Force that needs to be awakened is intelligence, and with that reason and honesty. There is far too much complacency, intolerance and ignorance among the people of this planet. For example, we visited the moon in 1969. That is more than 45 years ago. If our society was focused, and leaders were of good nature, we would be well onto other worlds including colonization of other planets. But the primary destructive force is one of capitalism and democracy.all disguised to imprison you among thousands of laws and your lives dictated by evil men who only seek power and fame. Im sure one day the human will find its way on the endangered species list. I can certainly understand why. There is no capitalism, and there is no democracy. Not that either one would save anything. Youve been programmed. You understand how the elite feel? So you approve of aspartame, poisoned food, spraying the world with chemtrails like were pests to exterminate, fluoridated water, constant divide and conquer brainwashing turning all the sheeple against each other instead of coming after the real enemy, the fake elections, the bankers running everything with their fake printed up fiat money, sending all the jobs to other countries and bringing 3rd world workers here to take the rest, and on and on and on Sorry but YOU HAVE NO CLUE. This is NOT capitalism or democracy. Its something along the lines of tyrannical crony corporatism/fascism. Hello! Wishing my fellow posters a Happy, Healthy Prosperous New Year. Isaiah 42: Daniel 12:1 Acquire knowledge, it enables its professor to distinguish right from wrong; it lights the way to heaven. It is our friend in the desert, our company in solitude and companion when friendless. It guides us to happiness, it sustains us in misery, it is an ornament amongst friends and an armour against enemies. He who has learned to know the Divine Law and is willing to give up the carnal self in order to become the Son of God, shall find everlasting life; but he who thinks more of the desires and the pleasures of the flesh than of the Soul, shall find naught but death. As the mind becomes awakened to the needs of the immortal nature, man will begin to change his thoughts and his desires. Instead of thoughts and desires of the flesh and gratification of the flesh, he will think of the Inner Being, the true man. In proportion as he does this, will he change, or transmute, the flesh. As transmutation takes place, the body (which is the personality) is changed into the Soul, or the Individuality. Thus, did Jesus plainly and clearly teach that man must use the flesh and the fleshly nature to nourish the divine spark, in order that it may become a Conscious Individuality. In other words, man must feed the flesh and the fleshly nature to the divine spark that it may become the Conscious Soul. The lower must be transmuted into the higher; the natural into the soulual; the human into the divine; the mortal into the immortal. He who abhors and shuns the light of the Sun, Isaiah 35:4 They live in wisdom who see themselves in all and all in them, who have renounced every selfish desire and sense-craving tormenting the heart.

2	Texas Students Forced To Recite The Mexican Pledge Of Allegiance [VIDEO] According to recent reports from The Blaze, students in a Texas public high school were recently required to stand up and recite a Mexican national anthem and pledge of allegiance as part of a Spanish class. The school district is now claiming that there was nothing wrong with the lesson they taught students at Early College High School, which is located just 10 miles away from the border. The students were required to wear red, white, and green, and to memorize the anthem and pledge of Mexico. 15-year-old student Brenda Brinsdon refused to participate, and ended up catching the lesson on tape. A translation of the anthem reads: Mexican flag We promise you: To be always loyal View the clip below, and tell us what you think: 
1	In recognition of mankind's inherent propensity for tragically foolish decisions, Congress allocated nearly $500 billion Monday for the construction of a new national monument honoring human folly. 'From Hannibal's disastrous crossing of the Alps to Custer's humiliating defeat at Little Bighorn, human history has been plagued by senseless mistakes, and it is high time we built a memorial to honor that history,' House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said of the expensive and ill-advised monument. 'My deepest hope is that future generations of Americans will one day look upon this pointless edifice and be filled with a sense of awe and wonder at mankind's utter lack of foresight.' 'To think of all the ways our time and money could have been better spent,' Pelosi continued. 'I can imagine no more fitting tribute.' According to the bipartisan plan, the proposed monument will be built precariously over a Washington freeway overpass, and will require as many as 30 years of grueling labor to complete. As a representation of humanity's failure to learn from past mistakes, the project is being designed by the architecture firm of Ganz & Weiss, best known for their work on a series of dangerously constructed St. Louis public housing projects that were condemned in the late 1990s. 'Our goal is to create a structure that, like the human race itself, is doomed from the outset and plagued by innate flaws that can never be corrected,' Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH) said of the monument, which he claimed would eventually sink into the federally protected wetlands that surround it. 'Not only will it be an aesthetic disaster, but it will also require constant, expensive maintenance just to ensure that the whole foundation doesn't topple suddenly and kill hundreds of innocent people.' The lead architect on the project, Robert Wheeler, told reporters that the monument would be a stirring testament to more than 200,000 years of arrogance, idiocy, and waste. He also confirmed that no fewer than eight different blueprint designs would be clumsily patched together in order to preserve the spirit of indecision and gross incompetence with which mankind has approached the vast majority of its endeavors. 'The face of the building will be covered with recently excavated sections of the Titanic, as well as several faulty pressure valves from the Chernobyl power plant and hundreds of uranium-tipped shell casings from the first Gulf War,' said Wheeler, whose design calls for the monument to be surrounded by dozens of oil derricks pumping night and day into bare dirt. 'But the most exciting feature of the memorial, in my opinion, is the giant glowing orb at the top that will symbolize humanity's needless overuse of energy and will itself use a staggering 12 gigawatts of power per second.' According to sources, thousands of poorly paid migrant laborers will carry out construction on the monument, digging straight through underground power lines and gas mains in order to clear a space for the soon-to-be dilapidated foundation. In addition, officials from the Environmental Protection Agency confirmed Monday that the construction zone has already been designated as a highly toxic Superfund site, setting the entire project three months behind schedule. 'So far we've spent $40 billion and lost a total of 300 or so construction workers, and we haven't even put in a full day's work,' said project manager Tom Matthiessen. 'It's been a challenge, but knowing that we're doing this to commemorate the countless lives and resources squandered by human beings throughout history makes it all worthwhile.' Added Matthiessen, 'At this rate, I'd say the whole project should be a total, top-to-bottom nightmare by late December.' Although a vast majority of legislators supported the $500 billion bill, a few dissenting voices claimed that the project is an improper use of congressional funds. 'While I am all for paying homage to mankind's tragic legacy of imprudence, surely there are more appropriate ways to do so than this,' Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) said. 'Why can't we simply give the money back to the taxpayers so they can waste it all on bad investments, botched plastic surgery, and misguided real estate deals? Wouldn't that be a more suitable way of recognizing the complete inanity of our pathetic existence?' At press time, Congress, and all of humanity itself, was trapped in a self-perpetuating loop of failure that is expected to continue until the inevitable extinction of the human species. 
3	Have Science and Monetary Influences Gone Amok?By Catherine J. Frompovich According to Mike Adams, The laboratory monkeys run obsessively in circles, largely ignore their peers and grunt anxiously when stared at, writes David Cyranoski in this Nature article. Its all part of an effort to use genetic engineering to create psychiatric disorders in primates so that drug companies can reap billions in profits from the very same conditions caused by mercury in vaccines, toxic processed foods and herbicide chemicals used on genetically modified crops. Since scientists obviously could induce autistic symptomology, then they apparently know whats going on regardingASD, I offer, rather than the stock canned-answers being given by physicians and others in the medical profession: coincidental. Additionally, I also contend they could have prevented it. Is the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) an iatrogenic [of or relating to illness caused by medical treatments, which vaccines can cause] condition stemming from vaccine neurotoxins that are dispensed and promoted big time by the entire healthcare complex and medical profession? That is a question that must be asked by every parent and healthcare consumer, plus answered using legal prosecution of those who have vested interests in health policies: Congress, CDC/FDA/HHS, Big Pharma, vaccine manufacturers, medical doctors, and research scientists. Why hasnt the CDCs William Thompson, PhD, been mandated to present his whistleblowing information before a congressional investigation? Consumers need to demand that of their members of Congress. http://www.contactingthecongress.org/ However, I think I sense what will become Big Pharmas next big push: The cure for autism, which will be found in some prescription pharmaceutical drug costing thousands of dollars for one pill, rather than preventing ASD by not injecting poisons, neurotoxins, and chemicals into pregnant females, newborns, 2, 4, 6-month old infants, and toddlersor anyonethink dementia in senior citizens! Is Alzheimers the old age equivalent of childhood ASD? Somehow, the science-created-autistic-monkey story prompts me to think that science has been monkeying around a little too much, and too many unfortunate parents have believed them. OMG! But then there are global movers and shakers like Microsofts Bill Gates, his money and foundation, and GAVI, who obviously think they are helping humankind. Some of Gatess money and leanings apparently are structured toward whats known as population control innovations, as seen in this video of a TED speech wherein Gates gave his famous population control equation: CO2 = P x S x E x C. My article Are Criminal Medical Interventions Damaging Everyone? was reposted by ZenGardner.com and the link was emailed to me by a colleague. What I found more than interesting in reading the comment section was this, which was posted by Teresa, whom I thank very much: Check this out, all my fellow travelers. I read about this a month ago, and the article stated that the virus was linked to mosquitoes. If you remember, Bill Gates has been releasing genetically modified mosquitoes. Latin American governments, in conjunction with the UNs World Health Organization (WHO), are claiming that over the past four months, they have received reports of nearly 4,000 cases of microcephaly in newborns and they are claiming these are all linked to the Zika Virus. Colombia, which shares an Amazonian border with Brazil, reacted to its own Zika outbreak, numbering more than 13,000 cases, by urging women not to get pregnant in the next several months. Other countries, including Jamaica and Honduras, also have urged women to delay having babies. http://21stcenturywire.com/2016/01/25/eugenics-wmd-zika-virus-prompts-disturbing-new-call-for-no-child-policy/?utm_source=21stCenturyWire.com+Subscriberutm_campaign=7cabbaeb39-21st+Century+Wire+Dailyutm_medium=emailutm_term=0_1dfb7233cb-7cabbaeb39-72345633 How does the above comment information fit in with Bill Gatess population control equation and/or agenda? Countries are now urging women to delay having babies! Should we ask, Have the Georgia Guidestones become a reality? Heres something that seems rather unbelievable, but apparently is factual. The Zika virus is available for sale on the Internet! Where are Precautionary Principle controls and self-regulation pertaining to ethical, scientific and safety issues and measures regarding such services or products offered for sale publicly? Interestingly and maybe not coincidentally, the information on that site says the virus has its source as Blood from experimental forest sentinel rhesus monkey, Uganda, 1947 with the name of the depositor J. Casals, Rockefeller Foundation. One has to question if there was any GMO monkeying around with that virus. Question: Can any independent lab verify that?

The real intention is seen in warfare, it is better to wound than kill the enemy because they then have to spend scarce resources caring for the wounded soldier. The real intention is the mental pain and waste of resources caused by an autistic or, in the case of zika, retarded child. Then theres that thing called slow kill. Yeah, your probably right, every bit helps I guess. And we are dealing with very cruel people. I have thought the same thing. Vaccines kill some, but the morbidity is by far the greater impact. But if they are monkeying with fertility, then that could be a different matter.

1	Saying that she had put it off for a long time and that now was as good a time as any, Michelle Obama told sources Monday she had finally gotten around to reading her husbands 1995 memoir Dreams From My Father. I read the first couple chapters back when it came out, but I just couldnt get through it, and its been lying on my dresser ever since, said the first lady, explaining that she felt obligated to read President Obamas autobiographical exploration of race and identity in America even though, to be honest, its a little slow. The parts about his dad seem a little overwrought, and he spends so much time writing about himself that he comes across a bit narcissisticwho writes a memoir when theyre 33, anyway? I skimmed a lot of it, but I can still pretend I read the whole thing if he asks. The first lady added that The Audacity Of Hope fucking sucked.

'They would never find that in their habitat,' the precocious shit said Friday, a week after he insisted Jack would suffocate from lack of oxygen if he were to climb a beanstalk that high into the atmosphere. 'Foxes eat small rodents and birds. Gingerbread would make a fox sick.' The fucking know-it-all later added that foxes are mainly nocturnal. 
3	Syrian No-Fly-Zone a Bid to Save Al QaedaTony Cartalucci High-ranking American military sources revealed Monday, Dec. 8, that Israels air strikes near Damascus the day before wiped out newly-arrived Russian hardware including missiles that were dispatched post haste to help Syria and Hizballah frustrate a US plan for a no-fly zone over northern Syria. Regardless of the veracity of this report, attempts to justify and impose a NFZ over Syria has been a stated goal of Western policymakers since 2011 when a similar ploy was used under the guise of humanitarian intervention in Libya. No-Fly-Zone to Protect Terrorist Mercenaries, Not Civilians or Rebels Corporate-financier funded policymakers from the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) published an article in 2013 titled, Jack Keane and Danielle Pletka: How to Stop Assads Slaughter, claiming: Syria is not Libya. Bashar Assads troops are well armed, and his ground forces are waging successful campaigns against rebel forces across the country. But eliminating Assads ability to take to the air and tilting the balance of power in favor of anti-Assad rebelsas the United States and its allies did with the fighters who eventually overthrew Moammar Gadhafiis both achievable and advisable. However, in Libya, NATOs humanitarian NFZ clearly was implemented not to protect innocent civilians, but to provide air cover for terrorist mercenaries armed and directed by NATO itself. These terrorists are now revealed to be Al Qaeda and the so-called Islamic State (ISIS). It is clear then that Assads slaughter is in all actuality a war being waged upon the depraved ranks of Al Qaeda from its Al Nusra front to ISIS. From the beginning of Syrias conflict in 2011, the US State Department itself revealed Al Qaedas Al Nusra Front was not only involved in early fighting, but had already established a nationwide presence carrying out hundreds of attacks in every major Syrian city. In an official statement by the US State Department designating Al Nusra as a foreign terrorist organization and as an alias for Al Qaeda in Iraq, it was reported that: 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. The widespread presence of Al Qaeda so early in the conflict is owed to the fact that the United States, Israel, and Saudi Arabia, since at least as early as 2007, conspired openly to use the terrorist organization to wage a regional proxy war against Iran and its allies, including Syria and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Damascus war, then, is not one being waged against its own people, nor against pro-democracy rebels, but rather against a heavily armed front of sectarian militants backed from abroad seeking to invade, overthrow, and occupy the nation of Syria. This foreign-backed terrorist front, with the help of the Western media, is merely hiding behind the ever tenuous facade of genuine rebellion. One example in particular illustrates not only this reality the fact that there are none and never have been moderate rebels but also the fact that Western intervention predicated upon assisting nonexistent moderate rebels and civilians is a criminal conspiracy designed solely around regime change and imposing the Wests will upon the nation and people of Syria. Last month, it would be revealed that terrorists portrayed by the West as moderate rebels and allegedly vetted by the United States before being armed with advanced weaponry including anti-tank missiles were officially merged with Al Qaeda. The International Business Times would claim in its article, Syria: Al-Nusra Jihadists Capture US TOW Anti-Tank Missiles from Moderate Rebels, that: Weaponry supplied by the US to moderate Syrian rebels was feared to have fallen into the hands of jihadist militants affiliated to al-Qaida after clashes between rival groups. Islamist fighters with Jabhat al-Nusra seized control of large swathes of land in Jabal al-Zawiya, Idlib province, at the weekend, routing the US-backed groups the Syrian Revolutionaries Front (SFR) and Harakat Hazm, activists said. Washington relied on SFR and Harakat Hazm to counter Isis (Islamic State) militants on the ground in Syria, complementing its air strikes. One Syrian rebel group supported in the past by the United States condemned the air strikes on Tuesday. Harakat Hazm, a rebel group that received a shipment of U.S. anti-tank weapons in the spring, called the airstrikes an attack on national sovereignty and charged that foreign led attacks only strengthen the Assad regime. The statement comes from a document, purportedly from the group, that has circulated online and was posted in English translation from a Twitter account called Syria Conflict Monitor. Several Syria experts, including the Brookings Doha Centers Charles Lister, believe the document to be authentic. Despite attempts to claim Harakat Hazm had fallen to Al Qaeda, Harakat Hazm itself had already openly pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda a month beforehand. In September, the Daily Beast would report in its article, Al Qaeda Plotters in Syria Went Dark, U.S. Spies Say, that Harakat Kazm condemned US airstrikes on ISIS and Al Nusra. The Daily Beast reported (emphasis added): The same article would also reveal that: Before the official statement, there were signs that Harakat Hazm was making alliances in Syria that could conflict with its role as a U.S. partner. In early Septemeber a Harakat Hazm official told a reporter for the L.A. Times: Inside Syria, we became labeled as secularists and feared Nusra Front was going to battle usBut Nusra doesnt fight us, we actually fight alongside them. We like Nusra. The US, NATO, Israel as the Islamic States Air Force With this in mind, Syrias allies must take all measures to ensure a no-fly-zone is not only politically unachievable, but tactically and strategically unachievable as well. Failure in Syria will open the flood gates of proxy terrorism and warfare upon Iran, then Russia and China. The world can ill-afford the continued primacy of a hegemonic power willing to use such tactics to achieve the already abhorrent, intolerable objective of global conquest. Just as in Libya where genocidal sectarian extremists operating under the flag of Al Qaedas regional franchises including the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) and Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) both now openly operating under the banner of ISIS, were thrust into power with NATO backing, so to does NATO plan on installing extremists into primacy across Syria. The goal is not simply the ruination of Syria, but the use of Syria as a springboard to wage war upon Iran and Lebanons Hezbollah, then turn NATOs terrorist mercenary force northeast toward Russia and then China. To this end, the US, NATO primarily Turkey as well as Israel, have throughout the Syrian conflict provided arms, aid, equipment, and even airpower to Al Qaeda in their bid to violently overthrow the Syrian government. Just as was done in Libya, Al Qaedas role in the fighting was covered up with the illusion of moderate rebels and unarmed pro-democracy protesters. As the facade collapsed, an increasingly tangled and incoherent narrative has emerged to explain how the West is infusing the region with billions in military aid, and yet Al Qaeda rather than the Wests fabled moderates have emerged as the dominate fighting force across the region. The only explanation, and as was the plan from the very beginning, is that the US, NATO, Israel and other regional partners are intentionally building up and deploying Al Qaedas various factions across the region to fight in an increasingly horrific, costly, proxy war. The proposed no-fly-zone the West has been attempting to implement is simply rhetorical cover for providing Al Qaeda directly with air cover while preventing the only actual military force in the region fighting Al Qaeda, the Syrian Arab Army, from finally eliminating this scourge from within their borders and restoring order across their country and in turn, across the region.

3	Western Special Forces Working With Death Squads in SyriaBrandon Turbeville Spies have already found scores of major military installations and ammo dumps in the war-stricken country. Now the British military is waiting for the political green light as it prepares to act. A huge force of Royal Navy warships and RAF jets could be called into action if MPs vote for air and sea strikes. But it is likely any attack would involve a small number of precision missile strikes, launched from outside Syria. The Navy will spearhead any UK operation against Assad, followed by the RAF, both working with US and French forces, but regular troops will not be sent in. It is thought nuclear submarine HMS Tireless has been repositioned in the Mediterranean in readiness to launch Tomahawk cruise missiles against Assads military. Yet, while the participation of Western intelligence agencies and special forces might be news to some, the fact is that such operations have been taking place since the beginning of the Syrian crisis in 2011. It was also reported by Israeli news agency DEBKAfile, a site with known intelligence connections, that British and Qatari troops were actually on the ground in Homs, Syria as early as February, 2012. As RT reported at the time,[6] British and Qatari troops are directing rebel ammunition deliveries and tactics in the bloody battle for Homs, according to an Israeli website known for links to intelligence sources. Four centers of operation have been established in the city with the troops on the ground paving the way for an undercover Turkish military incursion into Syria. The debkafile site said the presence of British and Qatari troops in Homs topped the agenda of Tuesdays talks between Assads officials and head of Russias Foreign Intelligence Service Mikhail Fradkov. The emails were obtained from the private U.S. intelligence firm, Stratfor, and were apparently sent by Stratfors Director of Analysis, Reva Bhalla (bhalla@stratfor.com) and contain discussion of a December confidential Pentagon meeting which was attended by senior analysts from the US Air Force, and representatives from its chief allies, France and the United Kingdom. Tellingly, the emails author stated that US officials said without saying that SOF [special operation forces] teams (presumably from the US, UK, France, Jordan and Turkey) are already on the ground, focused on recce [reconnaissance] missions and training opposition forces. Later in the email, it was stated that the idea hypothetically is to commit guerrilla attacks, assassination campaigns, try to break the back of the Alawite forces, elicit collapse from within. This should come as no surprise since Western troops and intelligence agents maintained a heavy presence[8] inside Libya during the destruction of that nation, increasing their presence as the destabilization and subsequent invasion succeeded. In addition to Western forces, numerous reports have also suggested the presence of Israeli special forces operating inside Syria on a limited basis. For instance, in December 2012, it was reported by the London Sunday Times[9] that Israeli special forces were operating inside Syria as spotters to track the regimes stock of chemical and biological weapons. In May, 2013, however, Israeli commandos were recorded[10] and later broadcast on FOX news coming back from a mission inside Syria, although the nature of the mission was never expanded upon. Of course, in addition to commandos on the ground, it is important to remember that Israel has launched at least three military air strikes[11] against the Middle Eastern nation since the crisis began. All in all, it should be increasingly apparent to anyone who has even passively observed the Syrian crisis that it is nothing more than a Western-backed destabilization campaign aimed at wrecking the secular government and the sovereignty of the nation, breaking up the country into an impotent collection of micro-states and mini-states. For that reason, it should come as no shock that Western special forces have been and currently are working inside Syria to aid the death squads in their mission. With the Western world salivating to launch a military assault on Syria which will inevitably kill hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, it is important for all Americans to not only actively expose such blatant hypocrisy and treachery, but to actively oppose it. Our window of opportunity is closing. NOTE: In times such as these, it is important that we share as many sources of information as possible so as to increase public awareness as well as the likelihood that this awareness will turn to action.

1	A deadly meatwave swept through the Chicago area over the weekend, leaving an estimated 40 residents dead of steaks, chops, ribs, bacon, and various other forms of meat exhaustion. Paramedics administer first aid to a man who collapsed from smoked-sausage inhalation. 'This is easily the worst meatwave I've seen around these parts since the summer of '79,' said John Gruznek, a Chicago gravicologist. 'Most of the bodies I've examined were bloated beyond all recognition.' 'The excessively high level of pork loins, sirloin tips, bratwurst, and other meats was indisputably the number-one factor in these deaths,' said Chicago mayor Richard Daley, speaking from his temporary command center at Ruth's Chris Steak House on North Dearborn Street. 'Most of these people consumed a considerable fraction of their weight in animal flesh before ultimately succumbing to meatstroke.' 'This meatwave,' Daley continued, 'is a clear hazard to anyone capable of chewing and swallowing Chicago's vast array of delicious, succulent meats.' Max Peltz, director of Emergency Medical Services And Barbecue for Cook County, said that non-stop ingestion of beef, pork, chicken, lamb, and veal had caused the victims' digestive systemsand, ultimately, their entire bodiesto shut down. 'The human body, as you may be aware, is roughly 60 percent water,' Peltz said. 'However, many don't realize that it's also 75 percent meat. If that percentage rises too high too quickly, it may result in a distended stomach, intestinal bloating, and even death. Believe me, it's not a pretty way to go. A coroner never forgets the first time he examines the body of someone who died from roast-traumatic stress.' According to Peltz, the meatwave victims' causes of death have ranged from cardiac beefurcation to smoked-sausage inhalation. There has even been one confirmed indirect meat-related fatality, a 51-year-old Evanston man who died from a catastrophic smothering in mushrooms and onions. Meatstroke victim Tom Eppard is cleaned by rescue workers. Chicago public-health officials are urging residents to stay in their homes, advising them to lay out extra napkins and carving forks, drink plenty of water, and venture outside only to procure Zantac, Tums, and Immodium AD. Yet despite such warnings, the meatwave-related casualties continue to mount. 'This happens every few years in Chicago,' said emergency worker Peter Barreras. 'People in this town act pretty tough, and they always say the same things: 'I can handle the meat.' Or 'You call this a hot dog?' Or, my favorite, 'It's just a hot wing. How much can one little hot wing hurt me?' Well, I'll tell you. A lot.' Barreras said that for a meatstroke victim, familiarity with basic first-aid can be the difference between life and death. 'If you or someone you're eating with collapses from The Meats, know what to do,' Barreras said. 'Many people think that administering them emergency salads or tofu is the way to go, but the shock to the system is too great. Bring their meat index down gently and gradually by first immersing them in cold cuts. Call a doctor and talk to them while you wait for help to arrive. Under no circumstances should you let them have another pork chop, ham slice, or New York strip. Administer a solution of turkey tetrachloride, give them coffee, and don't let them lose consciousness.' Meateorologists speculate that the deadly meatwave was caused by a stationary high-protein ridge extending along the shore of Lake Michigan. They fear that Milwaukee and Kansas City could be next. 'Mother Nature sure has cooked us up a big one this time,' Peltz said. 'If it's this bad now, imagine what'll land on the city's plate during Taste Of Chicago.' If the meatwave continues through next week as predicted, the death toll could reach 100, making it the worst natural food disaster since the San Francisco Panquake of 1970. 
1	Citing an extensive body of research conducted over recent holiday get-togethers and weekly phone conversations, the nations sisters on Wednesday issued their yearly report outlining the various strategies for best dealing with Dad. Based on our findings, there are a variety of effective ways to handle Dad depending on the situation, such as whether its a whole family outing or if youre talking to him one-on-one, read the 85-page document in part, which covered how to deal with Dad on long car rides, when hes had a couple drinks, when he has a political ax to grind, and when hes in one of his moods. Regardless of whether you choose to change the subject, lay out your point of view in terms he would understand, or silently wait and let him just get it all out, the evidence overwhelmingly points to the fact that 99 percent of the time its nothing personal; thats just how he acts. The study concluded that in the majority of cases, its helpful to remind yourself that he is who he is, hes too old to change, and he really does love you.

'I waited until I was halfway through junior year to start calling the school Zona,' senior guard Nic Wise told reporters. 'For Lamont to come in here and start saying 'Zona this' and 'Zona that' like it's no big dealthat's just spitting in the face of everyone who came before him. Zona is a privilege, not a right.' Wildcats sources later confirmed that, while dining in the student union, Jones twice referred to the team as the 'Sun Devils.' 
1	Acknowledging that the separation can sometimes be overwhelming, Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) told reporters Friday that he is doing everything he can to maintain his long-distance relationship with his constituency back home. Its definitely a challenge being apart so often, but theres really no other option with my current job, Nelson told reporters, adding that he can only visit Florida voters once or twice a month, usually taking the last flight out of Washington Friday night after work, only to turn around and fly back late Sunday night. Email helps, but sometimes my constituency can get pretty needy. And Im not always able to respond, which makes me feel guilty. I wish things were as easy for me as they are for [Maryland Sen. Ben] Cardin. He just drives up and hangs out with his voters pretty much anytime he wants. Nelson later admitted that because he barely saw his constituency anymore, he had fooled around with lobbying firms on several occasions. 
2	Obama Issues Executive Order That Will Allow Govt Control Of Privately Owned Computer Networks Obama has just taken a huge step in infringing on Americans right to privacy. Not to mention he has once again gone over Congress head in order to pass a law. This is unbelievable. Obamas executive order will devote $19 billion to cyber security and will give the government the duty of protecting privately owned computer networks. This seems like a disaster and the beginning of a Big Brother scenario. Here is what Obama had to say about it: One of the biggest gaps between the public sector and the private sector is in our IT space and it makes everybodys information vulnerable. Our Social Security system still runs on a platform that dates back to the 60s, Obama said. Our IRS systems are archaic. As with a whole host of other agencies that are consistently collecting data on every American. If we are really going to secure those in a serious way then we need to upgrade them. That is something we should all be able to agree on. This shouldnt be an ideological issue. We need protection from Obama. Having him in control of the safety of our private networks is a recipe for disaster. Obama knows this is a bad idea. If it wasnt, he would have gone through Congress to get it passed, rather than go above its head. Do you think Congress should veto this executive order? 
2	Sarah Palin Just Got Some Terrible News... She Needs Your Support Life is not all roses for the Palin family lately. Just last month, Bristol Palin called of her wedding to Dakota Meyer, after rumors circulated that he had been married to a secret wife years before. Shortly after the announcement, news came that Bristol is pregnant with her second child out of wedlock. Of course, it doesnt look like she has plans to be married any time soon. As if that werent enough for former Alaska governor Sarah Palin to swallow, Fox News decided not to renew her million dollar contract. Now, Palin will reportedly be shutting down sarahpalinchannel.com, just one year after it launched. The site originally offered exclusive content for a yearly fee of just under $100.

1	Pointing out that there are very distinct criteria she looks for in a partner, area woman Christine Maloof told reporters this week that the men she finds attractive tend to be tall, athletic, and have hurt her in the past. If I had to narrow it down, Id say I usually go for muscular guys over 6 feet tall whove toyed with my emotions and broken my heart at least once before, the 28-year-old said, noting that her past two flings have been with a former coworker who played in a local soccer league and who dumped her by text on her birthday, and a super buff bartender who whittled down her self-esteem over the course of two years with increasingly aggressive and controlling behavior. I know its pretty specific, but for whatever reason Im just really drawn to men with a certain lean, powerful physique who have already caused me considerable anguish. Especially if theyve got dark hair and brown eyes and have slept with my best friend. At press time, Maloof was reportedly thrilled after spotting a cute jogger around the corner from the apartment she used to share with him. 
2	They Told This Firefighter To Take Down His Flag, Youre Gonna Love What He Did Instead In honor of the men and women who lost their lives in the September 11th attack, firefighter Zach Zechman decided to hang the American flag from his second story townhouse window at Alvernia University. This act backfired when Zechman and his roommates were asked to take their flag down after it had been hanging only for a few hours. When the resident assistants showed up at their door, they cited a rule prohibited objects from hanging in windows. The rule is printed in the campus student handbook. According to Carey Manzolillo, the Associate Director of Communications for Alvernia University, confirmed that the policy is violated by flags and other hangings. Although Zechman was aware of the process, Zechman stated that he hoped it would be different for a day like today. Although the day has passed, he is not giving up without a fight. His goal is to seek a policy change so that in the future, September 11 can be a day of remembrance on campus. What do you think? Do you support Zechman? 
3	DHS wants drones but wont have to pay for them during Civil War IIJames Smith, Contributor But they wont need to. Drones, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have been used by Homeland Security for more than 5 years in the United States. Four units were to be purchased by the end of 2007, covering land and sea. However, UAVs can cost more than double that of a manned aircraft due to the logistical support, specialized pilots, and maintenance training required. In 2011, the Hawaiian Islands were due to have UAV monitor the coastlines. Repeated requests for more details were ignored by the State and the contractor, Hawaiya Technologies. According to ACLU Senior Staff Attorney Daniel Gluck, Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or drones by law enforcement has a vast potential for abuse. The Hawaii Supreme Court has already ruled that warrantless infrared surveillance of peoples homes is an unconstitutional invasion of privacy. The ACLU of Hawaii will monitor the details of this particular program (the kinds of technology used to perform the surveillance and the areas where it is used) to ensure it does not intrude on Hawaii residents and businesses protected privacy rights. Gluck said. Nearly a year ago, the World Surveillance Group Inc, a developer of lighter-than-air (LTA) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and related technologies, announced that the Company has entered into a three-year agreement with Oklahoma State University University Multispectral Laboratories, LLC (UML), to collaborate in support of research, development, testing evaluation (RDTE) activities associated with WSGIs LTA UAV platforms. agree to cooperate and conduct RDTE, technical, engineering and scientific activities using the facilities, staff, methods, and technologies of each party to rapidly advance technology, from concept to operation, in the following areas: chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, explosive (collectively, CBRNE), command, control, computers, communication, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C5ISR), and unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Just how profitable are UAVs? According to SUASNEWS.com: The global UAV market is expected to increase at a Combined Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.08% in the ten-year period between 2011 and 2012, a recent ICD report forecasts. ICD estimated the global UAV market value at US$7.1 billion in 2011, this market is projected to grow to a value of US$10.5 billion in 2021, reflecting 4.08% CAGR. The study forecasts this growth will be driven by the demand for UAVs, addressing both homeland and national security, (addressing internal as well external security threats), territorial disputes and modernization initiatives undertaken by armed forces across the world. This puts it on line to grow as much as Green Construction, a growing industry within the United States. But privacy remains paramount to the average person in the US, and yet nothing is done about it. In an article from earlier this year, it was reported that Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, chairman of a House Homeland Security subcommittee, criticized that no federal agency has been prepared to challenge the issue of drones and privacy. He said DHS officials rejected a demand to appear at the hearing, saying regulating civilian use of drones wasnt the departments responsibility. Representative McCaul said he is considering seeking a court order to force DHS officials to testify at hearings or asking the White House to issue an Executive Order requiring the department take responsibility for the matter. And privacy should be respected by government officials, but they still refuse. According to the ACLU, Lansing Michigan police have been using drones to look over the fences of homeowners. Drones have the ability to see beyond what a normal officer can view. This means that the Lansing cameras give police the ability to read words on a piece of paper in someones hand within 50 feet, clearly discern a license plate that is 300 feet away, or recognize a face at 400 feet, the ACLU of Michigan writes in a report detailing the abuses. And because drones can be hacked, a young girl sun tanning in the back yard could very well be recorded for immoral means, or homeowners that are away could find their homes ransacked because the drones provided the hackers with entry codes into garages or backdoors. All in all, the DHS really doesnt need to purchase any drones. According to the National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order written this year, even in peacetime Section 310 states: Critical Items. The head of each agency engaged in procurement for the national defense is delegated the authority of the President under section 107(b)(1) of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2077(b)(1), to take appropriate action to ensure that critical components, critical technology items, essential materials, and industrial resources are available from reliable sources when needed to meet defense requirements during peacetime, graduated mobilization, and national emergency. Appropriate action may include restricting contract solicitations to reliable sources, restricting contract solicitations to domestic sources (pursuant to statutory authority), stockpiling critical components, and developing substitutes for critical components or critical technology items. Part VIII (j) allows for: (j) National defense means programs for military and energy production or construction, military or critical infrastructure assistance to any foreign nation, homeland security, stockpiling, space, and any directly related activity. Such term includes emergency preparedness activities conducted pursuant to title VI of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5195 et seq., and critical infrastructure protection and restoration. It appears that no matter who owns the drone they will all belong to the government at a whim. Now thats some Change that the government can all guarantee.

1	NEW YORKNBA officials are remaining quiet on the subject of the 2005-06 season's unusual opening week, in which seven games so far have opened with 0-0 ties. 'I think that, despite what anyone may say about disappointing results, these games have proven that basketball can, in fact, be an exciting defense-oriented sport,' Commissioner David Stern said during a press conference Thursday morning, after Wednesday's Milwaukee-New Jersey, New York-Boston, and Miami-Memphis contests ended with the score even at zero, exactly as in Tuesday's Milwaukee-Philadelphia and Dallas-Phoenix games. 'I've talked to team owners and coaches, and while they're not happy with these final scores, the sudden increase in popularity among soccer-mad European and South American countries has made up for it somewhat.' Stern had no comment on Tuesday's Denver-San Antonio game, in which the Nuggets shut out the defending champion Spurs 89-0. 
1	Stressing that she didnt want to divulge too much information about the upcoming performance, pop star Katy Perry dropped several hints at a press conference Friday indicating that this weekends Super Bowl XLIX halftime show will be completely awful. I dont want to give anything away, but I will say this: Come halftime on Sunday, you better be ready to see the absolute worst, most god-awful piece of garbage you could possibly imagine, said a smiling Perry, cryptically adding that fans could expect to see several surprise guests join her for some lame duet performance that no one would ever want to see or hear in a million years. I cant wait for you guys to see what Lenny [Kravitz] and I have planned, because youll be blown away at just how unbelievably terrible it is. The whole thing is going to be one giant, extremely over-the-top, 12-minute-long, pathetic excuse for entertainment that will be totally unwatchable. Trust me, youre going to hate itjust absolutely hate it. Despite guaranteeing that this Sundays halftime show will easily be one of the worst of all time, Perry did admit that it will be difficult to top last years giant heap of dog shit starring Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. 
1	WASHINGTON, DCHundreds of abortion enthusiasts gathered on the steps of the Supreme Court Monday to voice their support for recent rulings repealing the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003. 'We just adore abortions, and now they're more convenient than ever,' abortion lover Nayla Forster said. 'Some women found it a real pain to squeeze the procedure in before the third trimester.' Forster said that she personally tries to get out and have an abortion at least every four months or so. 
3	Drug War Attacking Another Beneficial Plant: KratomPhillip Smith Kratom is a substance that falls on the more innocuous side of the psychoactive spectrum. It is the leaves of the kratom tree,mitragyna speciosa, which is native to Thailand and Indonesia, where the leaves have been chewed or brewed into a tea and used for therapeutic and social purposes for years. According to the online repository of psychoactive knowledge, the Vaults of Erowid, kratom acts as both a mild stimulant and a mild sedative, creates feelings of empathy and euphoria, is useful for labor, and is relatively short-acting. Of course, any psychoactive substance has its good and its bad sides, but kratoms downside doesnt seem very severe. Erowid lists its negatives as including a bitter taste, dizziness and nausea at higher doses, mild depression coming down, feeling hot and sweaty, and hangovers similar to alcohol. There is no mention of potential for addiction, and while fatal overdoses are theoretically possible, especially with its methanol and alkaloid extracts, in the real world, ODing on kratom doesnt appear to be an issue. No fatal overdoses are known to have actually occurred. Kratom is not listed as a banned substance in the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs or its successor treaty, and has been banned in only a handful of countries, most ironically in Thailand itself. It was banned there in 1943, when then Thai government was taxing the opium trade and opium users were switching to kratom to aid in withdrawals and as a substitute. Arrests for kratom possession have jumped in recent years, from more than 1,200 in 2005 to more than 7,000 in 2009, even though the Thai Office of the Narcotics Control Board recommended to the Justice Department in 2010 that it be decriminalized because of the lack of any perceivable social harms. In the US, the DEA added kratom to its list of drugs of concern in 2010, although that doesnt mean that a federal ban is necessarily imminent. Salvia divinorum, for example, has been a drug of concern for more than a decade now, with no action taken. But while the feds havent acted, there were efforts to ban kratom in several states in the US this year, although only Indiana actually succeeding in outlawing it. In Louisiana, age restrictions were placed on its purchase. The experience of Iowa, where legislation to ban kratom is still pending, is illustrative of how bans are created. The Iowa effort happened after state Rep. Clel Baudler (R) heard about kratom on a radio program. Within two hours, he was moving to ban it. Kratom is a hallucinogen, addictive, and can be life threatening, he said at the time, in complete contradiction of all that is actually known about kratom. Its not just states that are considering bans on kratom. Pinellas County, Florida, was about to enact one this week, but the prohibitionist bandwagon hit a bump in the road in the form of perennial drug war gadfly Randy Heine, owner ofRockin Cards and Gifts in Pinellas Park, who told the Chronicle he had been selling kratom in his store since 1981. Seeing what was coming down the pike, Heine alerted the Kratom Association, a group of users, producers, and vendors dedicated to keeping kratom legal, who flooded county commissioners with emails. He also addressed the commission itself. I have been selling kratom for over 30 years out of my store on Park Blvd. I challenge anyone to find any problem originating from my store selling kratom, he wrote in a letter made available to the Chronicle. Do not lump in synthetic chemicals with an organic plant material. This is like comparing apples to oranges. I would like to see kratom be sold only to persons over the age of 18, similar to the proposal being made in our sister state of Louisiana. In the conservative county, Heine also appealed to the ghost of Ronald Reagan in his letter to commissioners. What riles up the Reagan in him, Heine wrote, is growing the bureaucracy by creating another board to regulate what I and others do in privacy of our own homes. I got letters back from two of the commissioners, said Heine. They read my Ronald Reagan letter out loud, and one of the GOP commissioners thanked me for sharing my thoughts. The commission has now deferred this item so we can take a closer look at the issues involved. Many of his kratom customers are using it as an opiate substitute, he said. We have a drug rehab place here, and my feeling is that a lot of their clients are purchasing kratom instead of methadone. Its competition; Im taking away money, he said. Some of my customers say methadone is worse than heroin and keeps you addicted. Kratom weans them off heroin. A lot of them say they just do less and less kratom until the craving stops. I have a couple of senior women who say theyre tired of taking prescription pills, that they make them nutty, and kratom works for them. Chronicle readers may recall that Pinellas County is where a drug reform-minded upstart Democratic candidate for sheriff is taking on either the scandal-plagued Republican incumbent sheriff or his challenger and predecessor, former Sheriff Everett Rice (the GOP primary is next week), whose supporters on the council were pushing the kratom ban. That Democrat, Scott Swope, is so good on drug policy that his candidacy persuaded Heine to drop his own bid for the sheriffs office. This looks like another unconstitutional intrusion into the lives of Pinellas citizens who arent harming anyone, Swope said. Ive researched kratom and although there doesnt seem to be as much research available as cannabis, it appears to me to be a plant product that should not be banned. I think the purchase or possession of any of these things (cannabis, kratom, bath salts) by minors should not be allowed. Adults, however, should be free to do what they want as long as they arent harming anyone else. Swope can win, he exulted. We finally have a candidate who is talking about marijuana. Even the Republican candidates are now saying they wouldnt bust people for marijuana. When I was still a candidate, I went to many forums to talk about pot, and the media started asking these guys about it. Scott wont arrest people for personal use. Whether its relatively unknown substances like kratom or now familiar substances like marijuana, the battle lines are drawn in what is ultimately a culture war. On one hand, the forces of fear and authoritarianism; on the other, the forces of free inquiry and personal liberty. Its been a long war, and it isnt going to end anytime soon, but perhaps now there are hints that the correlation of forces is changing. Stopping unnecessary prohibitions before they get started is part of the struggle; undoing entrenched prohibitions with powerful interests behind them is another part of the struggle, but even though the substances are different, its the same struggle.

1	Saying he had entered a new phase in his life and wanted to start with a clean slate, University of Massachusetts freshman Seth Erickson told reporters Tuesday he was seriously considering breaking up with his high school teacher Karen Hull. Erickson, whose evening phone calls with Hull have grown less frequent since he left for college and she returned to classes at Gresham Hills High School, lamented that he would rather be out socializing with his new friends than listening to her rehash the same old stories about life in his hometown of Waltham, MA. Karens great and everything, but Im in a much different place now than I was last fall when we started dating, Erickson said of his relationship with the high school English teacher. Its not that I dont like her anymoreits just that I cant see myself spending the next four years with someone I dated in high school. I should be going out with college girls, you know? And wouldnt it make more sense for her to date guys who go to high school with her? he continued. And besides, I heard a rumor she has a crush on [star quarterback] Jeremy Kovics. Erickson confirmed the spark had gone out of their relationship and said all that remained for him were faded memories of making out in Hulls car in their schools parking lot, receiving her salacious text messages between classes, and exchanging knowing looks with her during fourth-period English. In addition to citing the usual difficulties of carrying on a long-distance romance, Erickson noted that he was busy with his schoolwork and Hull was busy with hers. Between tests, term papers, and just staying prepared for classes, he said, they were finding it difficult to make time for each other. The last time she came up to stay in my dorm room, the whole situation was just awkward, said Erickson, adding that he wished they could be together at the same school, but that it just wasnt possible with him pursuing a career in engineering and her pursuing one in education. Everyone on my floor thought it was really weird, and they could tell that something was wrong. I guess its just that Im in college now and I ought to be moving on from all that high school stuff. Karen and I had a good run, but realistically, how many people go on to marry their high school teacher? he added. According to Erickson, Hull herself has often stated during their year together that things cant keep going on like this forever. There were even a few strained times when Hull reportedly said she just wanted this whole thing to stop, claiming their relationship didnt feel right and that it might be better if they didnt see each other outside of class. Ill see her when I head back for homecoming next month, and even though Ill have broken things off by then, I hope we can both be adults about it, said Erickson, not ruling out the possibility of a quick, no-strings-attached hookup if things are back to being cool between them. I think its clear that we just werent meant to be. He added, Besides, she has a husband. 
1	Following news of a second confirmed case of Ebola in the city, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones assured local residents, as well as the nation at large, that AT&T Stadium is prepared to serve as the most spectacular Ebola quarantine center ever assembled. Should a widespread outbreak occur, I am confident that Cowboys Stadium will be the most exciting and unforgettable triage unit in the history of modern medicine, said Jones, confirming that all contaminated clothing will be properly incinerated in a jaw-dropping, 25-minute on-field fireworks show each night, and that patients will also be treated to a star-studded performance from a number of hazmat-suit-clad pop sensations. Each of our 80,000 beds will have perfect sight lines to our state-of-the-art video board broadcasting live updates on the outside world, and of course well also have several luxury wards available that will offer a full gourmet menu for those battling fatigue and blood loss. I look forward to showing the rest of the country that we do biohazard response just a little bit bigger down here in Texas. Sources confirmed that parking spaces will remain at their current average price of $120. 
1	At a press conference Monday, Haggar physicists announced the successful development of 'Quantum Slacks,' attractive, wrinkle-free pants that paradoxically behave like both formal and casual wear. Scientists at Haggar's Pants Propulsion Laboratory bombard khakis with high-speed pleat particles. 'With this breakthrough, pants enter a whole new dimension,' said Dr. Daniel Chang, head of the Haggar team. 'Conventional notions about the properties and possibilities of slacks have been completely turned on their head.' Though long dreamed of by theoretical physicists and science-fiction authors, the quantum slacks represent the first wearable pair of non-Newtonian pants, putting America one step closer to a complete casual wardrobe that transcends classical physics. 'For decades, we conducted level-one physics experiments in which we collided individual subatomic particles in a highly controlled laboratory setting,' Chang said. 'But an array of technical hurdles kept us from taking the next logical step: colliding pants.' Preliminary tests conducted last month at the Haggar Pants Propulsion Laboratory in Dallas indicate that the quantum slacks, generated by smashing together two larger sizes of slacks at near-light speeds, defy scientific explanation. Said Chang: 'We placed the pants in a casual lawn-party setting and discovered them to be functional and comfortable. But, against all logic, in subsequent tests the pants performed equally well at a formal business luncheon. This represents a baffling, 'Schrdinger's Pants' duality. The results even fly in the face of Einstein, who preferred wool trousers.' Some of the attractive quantum slacks featured in Haggar's Spring 2001 catalog. Subsequent experiments yielded even more puzzling results. 'We have attempted to measure the exact dimensions of these counterintuitive slacks, if only to know what rack to store them on,' Haggar physicist Dr. Mattias Kohl said. 'But we've learned, to our dismay, that if we measure length, we lose sight of waist size and vice versa. These slacks defy all traditional means of measurement.' Added Kohl: 'Additional study and data-gathering is proceeding at a slow pace, as the pants have a strange tendency to vanish and reappear elsewhere. Understanding and harnessing this trait is essential before we can find a way to distribute the slacks to stores.' More exciting, Kohl said, is the potential for gaining insight into the very origin of trousers itselfa breakthrough he described as 'within walking distance.' 'Scientific law holds that any given piece of clothing becomes less fashionable over time,' Kohl said. 'However, at the quantum level, we have found that certain styles of Haggar slacks actually grow more fashionable, suggesting the existence of 'slachyons,' theoretical pants that travel backward in time.' According to Chang, just as Einstein showed matter, energy, and pants to be essentially the same, the Haggar team may soon prove that space, time, and fashion are bound together as unified elements of the cosmos. 'If we can stabilize a pair of these slacks long enough for in-depth study, perhaps by confining them in a radiation belt powerful enough to stop them from slipping into other dimensions, we have a good shot at proving our theory,' Chang said. The only danger, he noted, is the prospect of creating anti-pants. This would derail the experiment by annihilating any pants the original pair comes into contact with, leaving only nude space. 'Further,' Chang cautioned, 'if these slacks do, in fact, travel through time, we risk altering the history of slacks and endangering the present state of comfortable, affordable dailywear. This could potentially collapse the probability weave and create a 'casual loop' from which we might never escape.' But, dangers notwithstanding, the Haggar physicists remain optimistic. 'Mankind's knowledge of pants technology has been advanced immeasurably,' Kohl said. 'We cannot overstate the revolutionary nature of this breakthrough. We are on the verge of unzipping the secrets of creation and peering into the pants of God Himself. We are about to discover the very fabric of the universe, and it appears to be a smart cotton-twill weave.' 
1	The Rhode Island legislature has passed a law moving the state's presidential primary to tomorrow, forcing candidates from both parties to hastily revise their schedules and platforms. 'I love Rhode Island, always haveespecially the people,' said Sen. John Edwards while being briefed on Rhode Island politics aboard a plane bound for Providence. 'Just because it's a small state doesn't mean it's not important. Frankly, I've always believed Rhode Island, or the 'Ocean State,' as I prefer to call it, should be much biggeran issue on which my opponents have remained curiously silent.' Former Gov. Mitt Romney announced his intention to release a 10-point plan addressing the issues that most deeply affect Rhode Islanders, as soon as he and his staff figure out what those issues are. 
1	Bitter fighting between Israel and Hamas reportedly showed no signs of abating Tuesday as both sides continued to lay exclusive claim to several of the most sacred bombing sites in the world. The smoldering craters near Jerusalem and Gaza City are of tremendous significance to many major faiths, said historian Evan Chertok, explaining that droves of devout believers shoot rockets in the direction of the holy bombing grounds every day. For thousands of years, adherents of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have congregated at these hallowed war zones to detonate bombs in an expression of their most deeply held beliefs. The irony is that they were originally intended to be inclusive places of violence where people from all over the world could gather to solemnly wage war in the eyes of God, Chertok said of the revered slaughtering fields. Sadly, they are now so brutally contested that no easy resolution is in sight. Despite the intensifying conflict, activists in both Israel and Gaza expressed hope that the belligerent parties would one day be able to set aside their differences and bomb the disputed lands together in harmony. 
2	Obamas Controversial Date Night Is Causing National Outrage, See Why If you happened to pay attention to Bon Appetits Hot 10 list for 2014, you would have seen Estela in New York as number three on the list. It is no surprise, then, that this is where the Obamas felt justified spending taxpayer dollars on a very expensive romantic dinner. According to reports, the Obamas had a fancy date at the restaurant. However, these reports do not account for the fact that senior advisor Valeria Jarrett also attended the dinner. Questions are being raised as to whether the administration truly felt it justifiable to dine at the lavish restaurant, rather than any of the restaurants at the Waldorf Astoria, where they were saying. Of course, though the restaurant itself was humble about the presence of the First Couple, their presence caused quite a scene. Motorcades, police vehicles, and the ambulance were ready outside of the small restaurant. In fact, traffic was at a standstill. Barack has a 20-car motorcade, men with guns, the ambulance is always there. How romantic can you be? Michelle once told Fallon. What do you think? Are you sick of the Obamas putting themselves and their lifestyles above the American people? 
3	Finally Awake: Writing ContestMike S. School was easy and when I was legally able, I left. My jobs came and went as did my girlfriends all while the chatter in my mind was relentless. I attributed my haphazard ways to the inability of just going with the flow and being normal. I told myself to just go buy things like the others did and follow sports and television. If I did that, they wouldnt notice I was different while secretly hoping the distraction would quite the constant buzz that said, This world is wrong. I met a new girl, bought a house and settled in to the regular life. I spent my time learning her interests, socializing in the right places where people spoke of the latest book or movie but all the while feeling generally ill at ease. Something had to give and it did. Once we split I grabbed onto anything I could to cause my mind to assimilate. GQ, Sports Illustrated and People were of no help so I made the decision to find out why I felt this world was wrong. I read all the history I could find which was no help. Luckily I stumbled on the works of Carlos Castaneda. His words felt revolutionary and now I had a way to prove to myself I was not wrong, it was our world. I blamed god, since I was raised that way, then the devil and finally I blamed my Karma for understanding something no one around me would even consider or talk about. I did my best to share my learning but didnt have the words to correctly convey what had happened to our world. Or maybe they didnt want to understand. Don Miguel Ruizs books opened my eyes to another way of dealing with my quandary which gave some relief. My world was stabilizing and the colors began to show their brilliance I remembered from my early childhood and life moved forward. I felt happy again. Move forward five years with a better computer and a little more wisdom. Searches for Obama Felon and False Obama led me to the oddest blog run by a man in The UK. I was searching those terms because again, my gut pointed me in that direction. As I checked out the blog I found a talk by a man Id never seen. The video was titled, Big Brother, The Big Picture and it was amazing to me. This humorous and interesting man was talking about things I never knew but leveled an answer to my thinking that my mind could not deny. Forgive the dramatic license taken, but a door was opened to a world of truth I had been seeking for nearly 20 years. And the nagging stopped. My mind was quiet and the peace that filled me matched the happiness I was growing into. My research mind kicked into high gear. I spent countless hours checking his information while discovering others that knew the truth. Max Igan, Dr. Ron Paul, Alex Jones and Gerald Celente became as common to my speech as American Idol and The NFL was for regular people. My daily reading included DavidIcke.com, Adasks Law and of course selfnews Post. I shared the info without the expectation of revealing anything but the truth. If they understood or agreed was of no matter to me. Some of my least spiritual friends have taken the ride with me and have a better understanding of the world in which we live. Ive been called odd, a conspiracy theorist, and even even dangerous but I do not care. Its been a great adventure since my ears heard David Icke speak and I am thankful for the chance to see him at Wembley. 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.

1	During a press conference Monday, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson unveiled this year's shipment of brand-new $2 bills, all of which will be sent directly from the U.S. Mint to the nation's grandfathers by month's end. 'I'm willing to speculate that most of you have never seen one of these before,' a grinning Paulson told reporters Monday, while gesturing to a sheet of 500 $2 bills, assuring those present that grandfathers everywhere will soon have the perfect gift for their grandchildren's birthdays, good report cards, or just for when they come over to visit. 'You can spend them on Lemonheads or anything you want.' Throughout the presentation, reporters politely feigned excitement, and afterward they impressed the secretary by accurately guessing whose face was on the $2 bill without having to look at the name printed below it. 
1	Gregg Reinisch, a Clarksville-area masturbator, stays on top of all the latest trends in swimwear by watching the E! cable network, it was reported Tuesday. Clarksville, IN, masturbator Gregg Reinisch. 'When I want the inside scoop on which swimsuit styles are heating up the beaches this summer, there's only one network I turn to,' Reinisch said of E!, whose award-winning swimwear coverage includes such programs as Fashion File: Sexy Swimsuits, Special Report: Beachwear '98 and An E! History Of The Bikini. 'E! is the only channel that offers the kind of in-depth information I crave.' According to the 26-year-old masturbator, without E! he would not know what suits to look out for on the beaches of St. Tropez and Rio de Janeiro, where less is definitely more. 'About five or six years ago, before I started watching E!, I took a trip to the south of France,' Reinisch said. 'It was awfulthere were swimsuits all around me, but I didn't have the slightest idea which ones were the hot new styles to keep an eye on. I was an uninformed beachgoer, and that's the worst kind.' Barry Booker, E! vice-president of programming, said his network strives to be the leader in the field of swimwear coverage. A scene from E!'s Emmy-nominated 1998 <i>Swimsuit Preview</i>. 'Why is our coverage the best? Because we don't just tell the viewer what changes they can expect in swimsuit styles, we show them,' Booker said. 'For example, if pink is the hot color for bikinis this year, we make sure to actually show what a pink bikini looks like on a tight-bodied 20-year-old down on all fours in the surf. Or if, for example, floral prints are in, we make sure to show what a floral-printed bikini looks like on a tight-bodied 20-year-old down on all fours in the surf. Our viewers appreciate that.' 'There is an amazing variety of swimsuits we can lovingly pan over while a model arches her back on a rock,' Booker said. 'From the French-cut one-piece to the Brazilian-style bikini, to the traditional G-string, there are nearly as many swimsuits as there are masturbators.' While swimsuit fashion captivates Reinisch, it is by no means his only area of interest. 'Lately, I've been reading a lot of books about Miami Dolphins cheerleading-squad calendars and how they're put togetherhow the photos are taken, what's going through a particular cheerleader's mind as the photos are being taken. It's really a fascinating process,' Reinisch said. 'So you can imagine how thrilled I was to find out that E! will soon air a half-hour documentary on this very subject. Apparently, when the Dolphins cheerleaders went to Jamaica to shoot their 1999 swimsuit calendar, an E! reporter and camera crew tagged along to get the inside scoop on the whole thing. It sounds incredible. I'm masturbating just thinking about it.' 
3	US Elections: The Empty Politics of DuopolyNile Bowie, Contributor The haze of American flags, pop music, and confetti worked wonders to mask the absence of any real political substance throughout the election process. Cheering supporters shouted four more years as President Obama took to the stage to deliver his victory speech complete with highly emotional grandiloquence, two mentions of the US military being the strongest in the world, and of course a joke about the family dog. After an exorbitant $6 billion spent by campaigns and outside groups in the primary, congressional and presidential races, Americans have reelected a president better suited for Hollywood than Washington. A 2010 ruling by the US Supreme Court that swept away limits on corporate contributions to political campaigns has paved the way for the most expensive election in American history, in the midst of an economic crisis nonetheless. [1] While the US has historically exported democracy promotion through institutions like the National Endowment for Democracy (trends that have accelerated under the Obama administration), so few see the American electoral process for what it is unacceptably expensive, filled with contrived debates, and subject to the kind of meticulous controls that Americas foreign adversaries are accused of presiding over. A leaked Memorandum of Understanding, signed by both the Obama and Romney campaigns, provides unique insight into the nature of the three televised debates, and the extent to which organizers went to prevent the occurrence of any form of unplanned spontaneity. [3] The document outlines how no members of the audience would be allowed to ask follow-up questions to the candidates, how microphones will be cut off right after questions were asked, and how any opportunities for follow-up questions from the crowd would be disregarded. In what was billed as a series of town-hall style debates where members of the community can come together and ask questions that reflect their concerns in actuality, the two candidates dished out pre-planned responses to pre-approved questions, asked by pre-selected individuals. The political domination of the Republican and Democratic parties over the debates is nowhere more apparent than in the arrest of Green Party Presidential candidate Jill Stein and her running mate, Cheri Honkala, as the two attempted to enter the site of the second presidential debate. [4] Despite the obscurity and almost non-existent media presence of third party candidates, former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party received 1% of the popular vote in the general election, amounting to over 1.1 million votes, the best in the history of the Libertarian Party. [5] In contrast to the choreographed exchanges offered by the televised debates between Obama and Romney, Moscows state-funded Russia Today news service offered third-party candidates an opportunity to voice their political programs in two debates aired on the channel. [6] Throughout these debates, third-party candidates spoke of repealing Obamas authorization of indefinite detention through the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the need for coherent environmental legislation, the gross misdirection of American foreign policy, the necessity of deep economic restructuring, and the illogicality of marijuana prohibition. In her closing statement at the debate, Green Party candidate Jill Stein brought up a significant point: As President Obama begins his second and final term, some feel that this could be a chance for the White House to pursue more progressive ends an opportunity for Obama to act on his own campaign rhetoric and roll back militarism and the influence of Wall St. financiers. As the United States continues to project itself around the world as the definitive model of freedom and democracy, it is apparent that the central bankers, corporate financiers, and crony capitalists who control Americas electoral system did indeed learn and thing or two from Communism: 
2	Trump Lays Down A Stack Of Cash In THIS Brutal Attack Against Hillary Donald Trump has just began his next initiative in taking down Hillary. This time, he rented out a movie theater in Urbandale in order to show the Benghazi film, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. He is giving free admission to anyone who would like to see it. Mr. Trump would like all Americans to know the truth about what happened at Benghazi, a member of his campaign said. The theater is paid for. The tickets are paid for. You just have to RSVP, Goertz said. Trump is trying to put the spotlight back on Hillary, which she seemed to have escaped over the past few months. Hopefully this will lead to further criminal investigation, and we pray that she finds her way into a jail cell. Do you think Hillary should be arrested? 
2	Burger King Surrenders To Muslims In THIS Disgusting Way Well, it appears that Burger King is the latest institution to give in to ridiculous demands. According to reports, the fast food chain stopped selling ice cream cones after a Muslim customer claimed to be offended by the shape of the swirl on the lid. Reports indicate that the man claimed that the design resembled the inscription for Allah. He proceeded to insist that the lid was sacrilegious. Now, the chain is taking steps to redesign the lid with the review of the Muslim Council of Britain, although Burger King brand managers maintain that the design simply represents a spinning ice-cream cone. This is my jihad, 27-year-old Rashad Akhtar told the public, calling for a boycott to the chain. How can you say it is a spinning swirl? If you spin it one way to the right you are offending Muslims. We commend the sensitive and prompt action that Burger King has taken, one Muslim Council spokesman said in a statement. What do you think? Is Burger King making a mistake by bowing down to these ridiculous requests? Do you think they would take the same actions for their Christian customers? 
3	Chemtrails Exposed Global Geoengineering PsyOps DocumentedBy Jay Dyer There has been much speculation in the last few years as to the authenticity of the claims of chemtrail spraying of the ionosphere by secretive groups for unknown reasons, with such claims generally receiving the scorn of tinfoil hat insanity. Distinguished from contrails, the normal water and ice crystal formations that result from aircraft exhaust vapor, chemtrails is the popular name for aerosol spraying by planes in different layers of the atmosphere under the cover of numerous global geoengineering programs. (Image: HAARP and the aurora borealis. Image: redicecreations.com) Is this possible? Could there be widespread global aerosol spraying programs? Not only is this possible, its already being done, and has been going on for decades. With origins in World War II cloud-seeding, the development of weather modification and mass geoengineering programs is no longer even covert, with numerous papers, programs and examples now made public. With this in mind, it is somewhat shocking the number of trolls and deniers that exist, telling us daily these are fictions of paranoid conspiracists, while any of the above notions can be easily verified with Google and a few minutes of research. Of course, this is not likely to happen, as the public has never heard of the Royal Society, much less geoengineering,since Kim Kardashians butt is a much more accurate weathervane of the tides of public interest (a very big weathervane). Geoengineering the Climate: Science, Governance and Uncertainty In this article, I will document several papers from officialdom, including scientific journals and white papers that demonstrate the programs are real. Not only will we see they are real, we will in fact see these programs integrate with one another and provide the establishment the potential for tremendously disastrous social engineering effects, as well as environmental dangers that result from such dark pragmatic scientistic ends. Our first document under survey is the Royal Society report Geoengineering the Climate: Science, Governance and Uncertainty, a 2009 paper that details the various potentialities for numerous approaches to curbing CO2 emissions, naturally tied in with population reduction and a return to neo-feudalistic model of global economic realignment. Given that the United Nations was established by Royal Society backing, the Agenda 21 implementation we have heard much about in the last few decades is part of a much larger strategy foisted upon the global community by these very shadow players. I have detailed previously the connection between mass depopulation, economic overhauls and realignment and the so-called dangers of resource-based economies being directed into a staged crisis by the corporate elite. In perfect establishment orthodoxy, the Royal Society paper promotes all the classic fear-based canards of melting ice caps, Malthusian disasters, etc., that have been the harpy screech for some 40 years, not the least of which has manifested. However, for our purposes here, we see the Royal Society is very much a proponent of atmospheric aerosol spraying: Mimicking the effects of volcanic eruptions by injecting sulphate aerosols into the lower stratosphere. (pg. XII) Of the Solar Radiation Management methods considered, stratospheric aerosols are currently the most promising because their effects would be more uniformly distributed than for localised Solar Radiation Management methods, they could be much more readily implemented than space-based methods, and would take effect rapidly (within a year or two of deployment). (pg. XIII) This is an interesting claim, as Lord Rees, an important member and contributor to this report authored a book, Just Six Numbers, on the mathematical tuning of the universe, expounding how it demonstrates an amazing balance of symmetry creating the conditions for life. Yet here, we are threatened with humans tipping the perfect balance because humans exist as carbon-based beings, drive cars and fart cows, too! Like an inside joke from the kleptocryptocracy, the double-talk of promoting a universe with telos and order, and at the same time requiring a mass genocide and reorganization by the scientific priest-class smacks more of a con job than a legitimate scientific endeavor. Rees would have us believe the universe perfectly balances itself to create life, and then the IPCC and U.N. will step in to save us from a conversely chaotic, meaningless universe. Which is it? The following quote is highly revealing: The greatest challenges to the successful deployment of geoengineering may be the social, ethical, legal and political issues associated with governance, rather than scientific and technical issues. For some methods, like ambient air capture, pre-existing national mechanisms are likely to be sufficient, for others, such as ocean iron fertilisation, existing international mechanisms may be relevant but require some modification. There will however be some methods, particularly those that require transboundary activity or which have transboundary effects, for example stratospheric aerosols or space-based mirrors, which may require new international mechanisms. Appropriate governance mechanisms for deployment should be established before Carbon Dioxide Removal or Solar Radiation Management methods are actually needed in practice. (pg. 13) Translation: The pesky humans (carbon) and their morals will get in the way of our program, so we will need to do it covertly under the guise of science and global crises. Space-based mirrors will be needed to aid in the reflecting process, we are told, yet if my analysis is correct, and the invention of the climate threat is a scam, the real reason for space-based technology of this sort would likely be weaponized. Modern science itself is not based on altruism on the contrary, most modern technological advancements are based around militarization and global population management (and destruction). Have we seen any examples of some space-based weapon with similar features? In fact we have, as I have written numerous times about the Skynet grid that will incorporate the Internet, global tracking, micro chipped humans and directed energy weapons. A mirror in space to reflect radiation, or a space-based directed energy weapon namedSkynet which do you think is more likely? The 1996fas.org paper from the Air Force has Skynet described as Figure 4-1. Cyber Situation Vision: Eye See Everything. I believe this eyeis the real mirror, as the geoengineering programs are intimately connected to weaponized weather control programs and psychological warfare, as we will see. The report continues: A wide range of types of particles could be released into the stratosphere with the objective of scattering sunlight back to space. Important factors that differentiate the effects of different types of particles include their size, and whether or not they conduct electricity (Teller et al. 1997,2002). For non-conducting particles, the optimal size for scattering sunlight is a few tenths of a micron. Particles much larger than this become effective at scattering outgoing long wave (heat) radiation and thus have potential to cause a warming influence. (pg. 29) The Teller mentioned is Dr.Edward Teller, the maker of they Hydrogen bomb and physicist who is a big name in pioneering atmospheric spraying and weather modification. Teller is cited often in on these reports and papers, and his high pedigree as a bomb manufacturer should immediately raise eyebrows concerning his weather and climate modification designs. Is the bomb creator now suddenly a humanitarian who wants to save earth from the climate and carbon? Or are they part of the shadow military industrial subversioncomplex that seeks full spectrum dominance over all life? Lets be realistic here. The manipulation and control envisioned here is the weaponization of the entirety of mans environment, ultimately for the purpose of control and depopulation: The same establishment behind the NSA and its eye in the skyis behind the climate faade. Various other types of stratospheric aerosol particles have also been suggested (Teller et al. 1997; Blackstock et al. 2009; Keith in press (b); Submission: Katz). Engineered aerosols might enable scattering that did not produce so much diffuse illumination, potentially circumventing a significant side-effect of sulphate aerosols. Alternative materials might also avoid the coagulation and vaporisation problems that will be significant for sulphate aerosols. Finally, it is possible that advanced engineered particles could be designed that had longer lifetimes, or that were lofted out of the lower stratosphere, so reducing the impact of the aerosol on ozone chemistry, or enabling radiative forcing to be concentrated in special locations such as the polar regions. (pg. 29) Is this a hint at nanotech or RFID dust that might be sprayed for the purpose of creating the Internet of Things, a Google-associated project that aims to coat the surface of the globe with a form of nanotech? While there has been much speculation regarding this in alternative media, we do know plans for an Internet of Things are real, even to the extent of your dishwasher spying on you as former CIA head David Petraeus stated, as well as further designs for nano dust. The report states, back in 2009, engineered particles would have a longer lifespan, and presumably this means nanotechnology. The report does cite two papers dealing with nanotechnology and food, so we can assume this notion is not far-fetched. In analyzing these documents, it is important to remember this establishment is operating under a worldview of eugenics and biotech that has long dropped the Hitlerian racial component for the pragmatic Fabian approach where the entire globe is a test lab. NRL Scientists Produce Densest Artificial Ionospheric Plasma Clouds Using HAARP Our next piece of evidence concerns the US Naval use of HAARP, the infamous Alaskan facility that pioneered weather modification and weaponization. Some have speculated that HAARP is now outdated and purely a research facility nowadays, yet recent papers such as the Navys work with plasma as well as the Stanford documents I will cite below speak otherwise. Newer models of manipulation do appear to be connected with Nexrad and Doppler towers, particularly in regard to harnessing lightning as DARPAs budget shows (see here, page 55).However, HAARP is still an important part of that research, if we are to believe these reports. It is also important to keep in mind the Navy is a defense and wartime institution, not a humanitarian one. This supports my above thesis that weather and geoengineering strategies are for militaristic purposes, not the common good. 21stCenturyWire writer Shawn Helton explains of HAARP: The Navy report in question states: U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) research physicists and engineers from the Plasma Physics Division, working at the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) transmitter facility, Gakona, Alaska, successfully produced a sustained high density plasma cloud in Earths upper atmosphere. Previous artificial plasma density clouds have lifetimes of only ten minutes or less, said Paul Bernhardt, Ph.D., NRL Space Use and Plasma Section. This higher density plasma ball was sustained over one hour by the HAARP transmissions and was extinguished only after termination of the HAARP radio beam. These glow discharges in the upper atmosphere were generated as a part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) sponsored Basic Research on Ionospheric Characteristics and Effects (BRIOCHE) campaign to explore ionospheric phenomena and its impact on communications and space weather. Using the 3.6-megawatt high-frequency (HF) HAARP transmitter, the plasma clouds, or balls of plasma, are being studied for use as artificial mirrors at altitudes 50 kilometers below the natural ionosphere and are to be used for reflection of HF radar and communications signals. DARPA and the Navy workingtogether on plasma manipulation in the atmosphere itsounds like a nightmare from Nikola Tesla following a bad case of indigestion. DARPA is the establishments crypto weaponized tech arm of the military industrial complex, giving us the Internet itself, and here we see they are very much interested in directed energy weapons and weather modification. Given that the Anglo-American establishment has the same ruling elite, my connection between the Royal Societys paper on geoengineering and the USmilitarys testing of directed plasma energylogically converge. This doesnt sound like your garden variety, mass consumption physicswe arefed in establishment academia, but somethingakin tothe energetic-based hidden metaphysics I have been speaking of, more along the lines of Tesla and Platonic aether. Did you learn about directed energy weapons and plasma balls in your college physics course? On the contrary, the cult of scientism purposefully feeds bunk science to the masses, as I have expounded here. The Stanford VLF Group Next in our series of documentation is the Stanford Universitys database dedicated to very low and extremely low-frequency programs. The radio waves mentioned above are merely one piece of the massive programs based at universities and government institutions globally focused on environmental dominance. Stanford stands out as a major hub of such programs, and blasting the atmosphere with such frequencies reveals muchdeeper designsthan mere weather experiments. HAARP has long utilized VLF/ELF waves to cause different effects in weather patterns, but what we see in the VLF group is the synthesis of all the above. A sampling of hundreds of papers dealing with the following are linked: From lightning effects to earthquake signatures, we know from the 1997 Department of Defense transcript from William S. Cohen earthquake-inducing weapons, as well as much more, making the very connections I am: Alvin Toeffler has written about this in terms of some scientists in their laboratories trying to devise certain types of pathogens that would be ethnic specific so that they could just eliminate certain ethnic groups and races; and others are designing some sort of engineering, some sort of insects that can destroy specific crops. Others are engaging even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves. Skeptics and deniers refuse to make the integrated connections I am because they cannot grasp the concept of compartmentalization, wherein various scientific enclaves are working for some very specific ends. These ends, however, are ultimately for the goals of an establishment with a manifesto of global genocide, from the Georgia Guidestones, to Ted Turner to Al Gore to the Royal Society. Globalist technocrats from Brzezinski to Toeffler to Bill Gates have also long been vocal on Geoengineering and ELF/VLF manipulation and their military uses, which brings me to my concluding example. Col. Michael Aquino, founder of the Temple of Set, and military psy op commander co-authored a famous 2003 paper on psychological warfare titled: From PSYOP to MindWar: The Psychology of Victory, in which the footnotes at the end describe just the nefarious scenario Cohen warned of and are best cited in their entirety. Aquino and Vallely write: Electromagnetic field constructs add fuel to the assumption unifying living matterharmoniously with the operations of nature, the expression of an electromagnetic field no less than non-living systems; and that as points on spectrums, these two entities may at last take their positions in the organization of the universe in a way both explicable and rational A tenable theory has been provided for emergence of the nervous system, developing not from functional demands, but instead deriving as a result of dynamic forces imposed on cell groups by the total field pattern. Living matter on has a definition of state based on relativity field physics, through which it has been possible to detect a measurable property of total state functions. (Ravitz, State- Function, Including Hypnotic States in Journal of American Society of Psychosomatic Dentistry and Medicine, Vol. 17, No. 4, 1970.) 20 Ionization of the air: An abundance of negative condensation nuclei (air ions) in ingested airenhances alertness and exhilaration, while an excess of positive ions enhances drowsiness and depression. Calculation of the ionic balance of a target audiences atmospheric environment will be correspondingly useful. Again this is a naturally-occurring condition caused by such varying agents as solar ultraviolet light, lightning, and rapidly-moving water rather than one which most be artificially created. (Detonation of nuclear weapons, however, will alter atmospheric ionization levels.) Cf. Soyke, Fred and Edmonds, Alan, The Ion Effect. New York: E.P. Dutton, 1977. There you go a master of psychological warfare admits all the connections I made above. Humans are walking, energetic beings that vibrate at a cellular level at various frequencies. Through mass manipulation of ELF waves, the frequencies can be manipulated through the atmosphere (geoengineering), as well as through mediums such as television and media broadcasts. We know the monkey lab in Bastrop, Texas focuses on tuning flicker rates to specific speeds to cause hypnotic effects, so we can deduce similar programs are at work involving frequency manipulation with the entire environment, which is key. It is not merely an attack on some single aspect of organisms, but a dominance of all aspects of organic life. The technocratic dream of transhumanist transcendence is the reason for all this, the assumption being that to go to the next level, the existing order must be utilized for mass experimentation to determine which genetic strands can best adapt and conversely which means are the best appropriation to attaining singularity in a Skynet-ruled, RFID dust-covered nanotech planet.In the wake of the destruction, the forced Darwinian evolution will cause aleap in those able to adapt, pure order out ofdesigned chaos. Chemtrails and geoengineering are clearly a part of this mass engineering. When we step outside the compartmentalized framework, we can clearly see the pattern I have elucidated emerge.

2	Obamas Sister Just Dropped A Bombshell... Hes Ruined With Obama visiting Kenya for the first time in his presidency, it is no wonder that we are seeing controversy. Obamas family has turned on him after he reportedly did not tell them about his upcoming visit. Alma Obama, the presidents half sister, has had nothing but glowing things to say however. I love my brother, she commented. What can I say? I mean its interesting that we met quite late in life. We hit it offand yeahhes my brotherthats why we dont do the half thing. According to reports, Alma did not meet Obama until the two were both in their 20s. That is when she made her first trip to Chicago. During her trip, she also met Michelleand later became her bridesmaid. Alma is the only one in the family who has not tried to distance themselves from the president. Im proud of our name because my brother really has carried our name up there, Alma continued. Its made our mark in the world. It tells every child that if you work hardyou can do whatever you want in this world. You can make your future. So, what Im trying to do here, he has done. On the surface, those comments seem harmlessbut they hold a heavily weight. Obama has been accused of lying about his heritage, and this simply illustrates his strong ties to the country. What do you think of these reports? 
1	In a poll taken by Zogby International, 100 percent of respondents agreed that American pollster John Zogby is the coolest dude in the United States of America, including Puerto Rico, Guam, and all of the other U.S. territories. The poll results were posted on Zogby.com all day Thursday and revealed that, of the 300 million citizens surveyed, John Zogby not only had the coolest friends, but was also easily the coolest guy in both high school and college. In addition, when Americans were asked who would be the one person they would most like to 'hang' with if given the opportunity, every one of them responded with 'John Zogby.' The poll, a Zogby representative said, has a zero percent margin of error and is potentially one of the most awesome polls ever conducted. 
2	What Obama Said About A New World Order Will Scare The Hell Out Of You It is no secret that President Obama has studied under Marxists, associated himself with communist icons, and befriended socialist leadersall of which have left his true beliefs in question. Now, it appears that he is actually starting to speak of a New World Order. In a recent speech, the president made the following comment: But whether people see whats happening in Ukraine, and Russias aggression towards its neighbors in the manner in which its financing and arming separatists; to whats happened in Syria the devastation that Assad has wrought on his own people; to the failure in Iraq for Sunni and Shia and Kurd to compromise although were trying to see if we can put together a government that actually can function; to ongoing terrorist threats; to whats happening in Israel and Gaza part of peoples concern is just the sense that around the world the old order isnt holding and were not quite yet to where we need to be in terms of a new order thats based on a different set of principles, thats based on a sense of common humanity, thats based on economies that work for all people. Through that tangled statement the president appears to be calling for a New World Order, to resolve a global crisis he helped create. What do you think of the presidents statement? 
3	IRS Guidance Further Legitimizes Bitcoin, but Demands Unrealistic ReportingMarco Santori The Bitcoin Foundation appreciates the IRS hard work in providing much-needed clarity to those transacting in digital currencies. The digital currency industry has, on the whole, welcomed greater regulatory clarity for its ability to foster innovation in this critical and emerging space. However, tax treatment of Bitcoin as a property, and not a currency, may make compliance with tax laws unnecessarily cumbersome and imposes untenable recording and reporting requirements on its users. This is an unwelcome result for most bitcoin users, but is particularly detrimental to those that Bitcoin can help the most: small business and underbanked individuals. When it is used as a currency, Bitcoin should be a frictionless means of paying for goods and services. The tax laws currently permit individuals to ignore small gains and losses in foreign currencies. Similar treatment for digital currencies would harmonize the law with the way most people actually use digital currencies. Artificially characterizing this use case as a transaction in property would make one of the most innovative features of this technology hard to use for those who wish to be compliant. The Bitcoin Foundation welcomes the opportunity to provide more formal comment to IRS in the coming weeks. The official notice from the IRS can be found here. 
3	Talk Of Nuclear War Over Ukraine Beginning To Surface In Mainstream MediaBrandon Turbeville Thus, when researchers warn of the dangers of nuclear war, Americans are conditioned to ignore these warnings. Nuclear war would never happen, they think. The powers-that-be would never allow it. Only conspiracy theorists and paranoids would concern themselves with the possibility that major leaders might actually ignite the world in a nuclear holocaust. Unfortunately, such an outlook on the current state of geopolitics is simply naive. Following the recent statements from Russian General Yury Yakubov regarding his desire to see Russian military nuclear policy restructured to allow for pre-emptive use of nuclear weapons against the U.S. and NATO, the former President of Poland, Lech Walesa, has also uttered the N word, in the mainstream press. When asked whether or not he thought the European Union should send weapons to Western-backed fascists in Kiev, Walesa wisely stated that such a move was a bad idea. It could lead to a nuclear war, he said. One of the few public figures to inject some level of sanity into the mainstream international discussion over Ukraine, Walesa also stated, The EU is well aware that Russia has nuclear weapons. NATO has them too. Must we then destroy each other? Walesas fears are very real. As mentioned above, Russian General Yakubov recently stated his desire to see the Russian military doctrine revised so as to allow for the pre-emptive use of nuclear weapons. Yakubov stated, [] In addition, it is necessary to hash out the conditions under which Russia could carry out a preemptive strike with the Russian Strategic Rocket Forces. Of course, the truth is that the United States and NATO are the primary enemies of Russia. Indeed, the entire Ukrainian crisis is the handiwork of NATO and the US since the two are responsible for creating, sponsoring, and directing the Euromaidan movement that overthrow the elected government of Ukraine and installed fascists, Nazis, puppets, and central bankers in its place. Even as Vladmir Putin has managed to secure a fragile ceasefire in Ukraine, the United States and NATO have responded in a typical provocative fashion that reveals their true intentions regarding Ukraine. Only hours after the ceasefire was announced, NATO and the United States announced that dynamic duo of destabilization was going ahead with planned military exercises in Western Ukraine that will see approximately 1,000 troops posted on Ukrainian soil. Shortly ahead of the NATO meeting, Barack Obama stated from Estonia that the U.S. and NATO would not allow a foreign country to encroach on its friends. He said this after blaming Moscow for the political turmoil in Ukraine. He was a hair away from saying that the U.S. would protect Ukraine from a Russian military attack. If the NATO exercises were not enough to inflame tensions in the fragile country, four NATO warships are also set to enter the Black Sea this week. USS Ross, an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, French Commandant Birot, Canadian HMCS Toronto, a Halifax-class frigate, and Spanish frigate Almirante Juan de Borbon are all set to enter the Black Sea before September 7. Regardless of the realities of the situation, however, the American people are falling prey to the propaganda of the mainstream media and Western oligarchs who present Russia as the new Nazi Germany and seek to stir up nationalistic fervor and synthetic patriotism for the purposes of motivating the general public into supporting a confrontation between two nuclear powers. Fueled by years of television and Hollywood production, Americans are entirely insulated in terms of the consequences of such a confrontation. For far too long, Americans have envisaged war as something America does to other people far away. The reality is that, if the American people do not wise up and see past the propaganda being fed to them on a daily basis, they may soon find out that war is a two-way street.

3	Network: Howard Beale, the last sane man in the worldBy Jon Rappoport (To read about Jons mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed,click here.) The media have substituted themselves for the older world The new media are not bridges between man and nature they are nature The new media are not ways of relating us to the old world; they are the real world and they reshape what remains of the old world at will In television, images are projected at you. You are the screen. The images wrap around you. You are the vanishing point The whole tendency of modern communication is towards participation in a process, rather than apprehension of concepts. (Marshall McLuhan) The best film ever made about televisions war on the population isPaddy Chayefskys scorching masterpiece,Network (1976). Yet it stages only a few minutes of on-air television. The rest of the film is dialogue and monologue about television. Thus you could say that, in this case, word defeats image. Even when showing what happens on the TV screen, Network bursts forth with lines like these, from newsman Howard Beale, at the end of his rope, on-camera, speaking to his in-studio audience and millions of people in their homes: So, you listen to me. Listen to me! Television is not the truth. Televisions a god-damned amusement park. Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion tamers, and football players. Were in the boredom-killing business We deal in illusions, man. None of it is true! But you people sit there day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds. Were all you know. Youre beginning to believe the illusions were spinning here. Youre beginning to think that the tube is reality and that your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the tube tells you. You dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube. You even think like the tube. This is mass madness. You maniacs. In Gods name, you people are the real thing. We are the illusion. Beale, coming apart at the seams, is a mad prophet. And because he shines with brilliance and poetry, he can affect minds. Therefore, the television network can make use of him. It can turn him into a cartoon for the masses. It is Beales language and the passion with which he delivers it that constitutes his dangerous weapon. Therefore, the Network transforms him into a cheap religious figure, whose audience slathers him with absurd adoration. Televisions enemy is the word. Its currency is image. Beale breaks through the image and defiles it. He cracks the egg. He stops the picture-flow. He brings back the sound and rhythm of spoken poetry. That is his true transgression against the medium that employs him. The modern matrix has everything to do with how knowledge is acquired. Television, in the main, does not attempt to impart knowledge. It strives to give the viewer the impression that he knows something. There is a difference. Knowledge, once established, is external to, and independent of, the viewer. Whereas the impression of knowing is a feeling, a conviction, a belief the viewer holds, after he has watched moving images on a screen. Images plus, of course,in the case of the news, the narrative voice. A basic premise of New Age thinking is: everything is (connected to) everything. This fits quite well with the experience of watching film or video flow. Example: we see angry crowds on the street of a foreign city. Then young people on their cell phones sitting in an outdoor caf. Then the marble lobby of a government building where men in suits are walking, standing in groups talking to each other. Then at night, rockets exploding in the sky. Then armored vehicles moving through a gate into the city. Then clouds of smoke on another street and people running, chased by police. A flow of consecutive images. The sequence, obviously, has been assembled by a news editor, but most of the viewing audience isnt aware of that. Theyre watching the interconnected images and listening to a news anchor tell a story that colors (infects) every image. Viewers thus believe they know something. Television has imparted that sensation to them. Thats what news is all about: delivering a sensation of knowing to the audience. There is no convenient place where the ordinary viewing audience can stop the flow of images or the story being told. They are inside it. They dont have the leverage of a crystallized idea or the power of reasoning to get out. They are inside the story. Knowledge thus becomes story. The viewer is transfixed by the sensation that he is inside watching story. This fixation produces a short circuit in his reasoning mind (if he has one). No time to stop, no time to think; just watch the flow. When you take this pattern out to a whole society, you are talking about a dominant method through which knowledge is gained. Did you see that fantastic video about the Iraq War? It showed that Saddam actually had bioweapons. Really? How did they show that? Well, I dont exactly remember. But watch it. Youll see. And thats another feature of the modern acquisition of knowledge: amnesia about details. The viewer cant recall key features of what he saw. Or if he can, he cant describe them, because he was in the flow. He was inside, busy building up his impression of knowing something. Narrative-visual-television story strips out and discards conceptual references. And lines of reasoning? To the extent they exist, theyre wrapped around and inside the image-flow and the narration. Ideas arent as interesting as images. Thats the premise. To grasp the diminishment of language, consider the current use of the word text. Suddenly its become a verb; it means a process of sending words. It also refers to paragraphs or pages of writing, as opposed to pictures. Text makes writing seem like nothing more than one functional (and machine-like) method of delivering information. And since bone-dry information (e.g., genetic sequences) these days is practically considered a synonym for life, when a writer infuses his words with passion, they automatically become a rant. Rant was formerly applied to describe what a person did when he was totally unhinged to the point of making no coherent sense. Image, not the word, is the now preferred means of acquiring what passes for knowledge. McLuhan: Media are means of extending and enlarging our organic sense lives into our environment My main theme is the extension of the nervous system in the electric age. All our electronic devices operate as extensions of our senses. In the process, image predominates, and through feedback, the majority of those pictures are produced by media. As if knowledge were being transferred. Retired propaganda master, Ellis Medavoy (pseudonym), once told me in an interview: If you wanted to try a real revolution, you would produce thousands of videos consisting of written words on screens, with someone speaking those words. You would try to reinstate language as a medium. Poetry, formal arguments and debates, great speeches, dramatic readings. You would go up against image and try to relegate it to its proper place These days, we are witness to an international treaty, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), being negotiated in secret,with the precise words of the treaty withheld from both legislators and the public. The TPP will create an overriding form of global governance for the US and 11 other nations. The degree of outrage, so far, is on the order of a bonfire in a park. If this were happening in the American colonies of the 18th century, where several hundred thousand copies of Tom Paines pamphlet,Common Sense, were distributed among a total population of only 2.5 million people, the earth would shake. The word meant something then; thousands of pages of words, held in secret, determining the shape of the future, would have instigated a revolution. Today, that secrecy of words causes minor flames, because generations of Americans have been suckled on images. Howard Beale: we know that democracy is a dying giant, a sick, sick dying, decaying political concept, writhing in its final pain What is finished is the idea that this great country is dedicated to the freedom and flourishing of every individual in it. Its the individual thats finished. Its the single, solitary human being thats finished. Its every single one of you out there thats finished. Because this is no longer a nation of independent individuals. Its a nation of some two hundred odd million transistorized, deodorized, whiter-than-white, steel-belted bodies, totally unnecessary as human beings and as replaceable as piston rods. Paddy Chayefskys words. He made his pen a sword, because he was writing a movie about television, against television. He was going up against image as the primary form of knowledge. He was the man for the job. When a technology (television) turns into a method of perception, reality is turned inside out. People watch TV through TV eyes. They observe their blessings the way crowds suck in the tautologies of a tinpot dictator. Mind control is no longer something merely imposed from the outside. It is a matrix of a self-feeding, self-demanding loop. Willing devotees of the image want images, food stamps of the programmed society. 
2	The United States Will Stop Sending Aid To Muslim Countries After Rand Paul Does THIS According to recent reports, Rand Paul is taking a stand to monitor the foreign aid the United States is handing outparticularly to terrorist harboring countries. Paul just introduced a bill that aims to end foreign aid to Palestine. According to Paul, the U.S. needs to stop providing foreign aid to them until they cease their efforts to join an International Crime Court that is attempting to charge Israel with war crimes. According to reports, there is already a rule in place that Palestines participation against Israel in the courts would spark a cutoff of the U.S. funds being sent to them. We are currently sending roughly $400 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars to the Palestinian Authority, Paul claims. Certainly, groups that threaten Israel cannot be allies of the U.S. I will continue to do everything in my power to make sure this president and this Congress stop treating Israels enemies as American allies. What do you think of the bill? 
1	Admitting that the fourth-year criminal justice major had caught them completely off-guard, administrators at for-profit college Chapman Technical University were scrambling to design and print a diploma to award a student who was actually on the verge of graduating, sources said Wednesday. Oh, my God, this guy is just three credits away from actually completing our graduation requirementswe should probably have some kind of certificate ready, right? said student services coordinator Amanda Lenoch, noting that no one had made it this far in the schools bachelors degree program before as she hurriedly scrolled through her word-processing program for any diploma templates. Jeez, whats on these things? I suppose we should probably have our name and logo on there, and I guess his name, too. Something in Latin, maybe? I have no idea. Man, Im making at least five copies of this thing in case any more of these people come out of nowhere. At press time, representatives from the school were reportedly scrambling to find someone at the colleges offices with some sort of academic qualifications to sign the diploma. 
1	David Ortiz's halting, stammered response to a question regarding baseball legend Jackie Robinson directed to him in a clubhouse press conference Tuesday demonstrated that the designated hitter clearly has no idea who Robinson was or what he was talking about. 'Oh, yeah, I know that guy. We played ball together, you know, couple years, when we were both younger. How's he doing, anyway?' Ortiz said, dismissively, eliciting puzzled murmurs from the assembled reporters. 'Jack played some good ball. Man was always a lot of fun to be around.' When reporters attempted to bail Ortiz out by asking leading questions concerning the many barriers Robinson broke, Ortiz responded by saying he had heard the news, that he certainly hoped Robinson would be okay, and that Jackie should not have been driving drunk in the first place. 
1	Phurba Dorje, the lunar Sherpa guide who blazed the trail for the Apollo 11 astronauts and made it possible for Neil Armstrong to become the first white man to set foot on the moon, died peacefully in his sleep Monday in his Florida apartment. He was 71. Dorje, whose career with the U.S. space program spanned more than a decade, carried provisions, equipment, and solid rocket fuel on 13 missions in the 1960s and 1970s, but is best known for guiding Armstrong and his crew to Tranquility Base in 1969. Phurba Dorje carried food, water, and communications equipment for the Apollo 11 astronauts. 'Without Phurba's invaluable guidance and sturdy legs, I doubt we ever would have made it beyond Earth's atmosphere,' Apollo 11 pilot Michael Collins said of the man who strapped the crew's Passive Seismic Experiment Package to his back for all but the last 20 feet of the 238,855-mile journey. 'He was a true hero and a wonderful cook.' Following the well-worn path of his ancestors, Dorje and his two yaks hauled dehydrated food, water, space helmets, binders full of flight schematics, and a large silver plaque commemorating the moon landing as he shepherded the astronauts through their historic journey to the moon. Although his efforts are well documented in internal NASA records, Dorje is largely absent from all photographs of the momentous event, as he was also the expedition's unofficial photographer. In addition to his roles as porter, guide, dishwasher, valet, thruster mechanic, and general manservant, mission archives show that Dorje waited at the bottom of the ladder to help Armstrongwearing his bulky, awkward space suitdescend to take his historic first steps. For his part, Armstrong has generally avoided the issue of who was the first man on the moon. 'Phurba's work simplified operations immensely, and he was always cheerful,' Armstrong said. 'When we launched, I was naturally disorientated by the sudden switch from explosive acceleration to microgravity. But I remember looking over at Dorje, and he was smiling happily as if everything were normal.' Added Armstrong, 'He was in his element.' NASA recruited Dorje from a lunar-savvy band of coastal Sherpas outside Cape Canaveral. The small tribe is locally known for its proficiency in high-altitude work and its ability to survive in the harsh regions around the moon. Recognized for his innate skill at navigating the upper stratosphere, Dorje was chosen by John Glenn to be lead guide on the 1962 Mercury-Atlas 6 mission. Dorje worked with NASA cartographers for months to map out his people's ancient navigational route to the moon, which, until that time, was known only through oral tradition. The mission was a success, and Glenn became the third American to enter space. But there was one tense moment during the launch when Mercury capsule's heat shield vibrated loose, and the expedition was forced to make camp in the lower mesosphere for the night while Dorje repaired the faulty apparatus. To this day, Glenn credits his safe return to the Sherpa finding an alternate orbital re-entry path with less atmospheric friction. Dorje's greatest achievement came years later, when he and his two trusted yaks accompanied Armstrong and lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin to the surface of the moon itself. 'There was no question in our minds who we would takeno one knew the terrain better than Phurba,' a visibly moved Aldrin told reporters Tuesday. 'And we couldn't have done it without him. He brought the extra rope, the ladder we needed to get down from the capsule, the special ice cream, the Tang, even the hammer we used to plant the flag. We had trained for reaching the surface of the moon for years, but to Dorje it was second nature.' 'I know it was a different time, but I still regret that Dorje wasn't allowed to wear a suit like the astronauts.' Aldrin added. 'He never complained, and he didn't really need one anyway. Phurba was as much a member of that team as anyone. Probably more than [Michael] Collins was.' Some have suggested Dorje may have even prompted the historic and somewhat ineloquent 'one small step for man' proclamation. As the story goes, a nervous Armstrong had frozen up and forgotten what he was supposed to say, until Dorje, with typical grace, recited the words to the NASA commander. 'I hope people realize that it was my own nerves, and not Phurba's stilted English, that made it come out wrong,' Armstrong said. 'Even after all we put him through, he kept it together, pushing the lunar module upright on its struts after we screwed up and landed it on its side. That's the kind of man he was.' Dorje retired from active service after the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission, during which he suffered exhaustion and hypothermia as a result of carrying extra oxygen back and forth to the crippled capsule. Astronauts John Swigert, Fred Haise, and James Lovell credit their survival to Dorje's six trips to Cape Kennedy for air bottles without any breaks for food or sleep. In the film Apollo 13, however, Dorje's story arc was reduced to a pair of two-minute cameos played by George Takei and eventually cut at the request of Tom Hanks. Dorje's true memorial will no doubt be his contributions to exploring the outer space on whose borders he was born. 'No matter who knows or doesn't know Phurba Dorje, his legacy is clear,' acting NASA administrator Christopher Scolese said in a memorial service Tuesday. 'His goatskin yurt rests on the moon as an eternal monument, just around a rocky corner from the landing site, where he worked in service to all mankind.' 
3	Saudi Press Just Accused US Govt of Blowing Up World Trade Centers as Pretext to Perpetual WarBy Jay Syrmopoulos The report by al-Shammari, translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), claims that long-standing American policy is built upon the principle of advance planning and future probabilities, which the U.S. has now turned toward the Saudi regime after being successfully employed against first the Taliban and al-Qaeda, then Saddam Hussein and his secular Baathist controlled Iraq. Al-Shammari claims the recent U.S. threats to expose documents implicating the Saudi government are simply the continuation of a U.S. policy, which he refers to as victory by means of archive. He highlights that during the initial invasion of Iraq, under George H.W. Bush, Saddam Hussein was left alive and in power to be used as a bargaining chip, but upon deciding that he was no longer an ace up their sleeve Washington moved to topple his government and install a U.S.-backed ruling party. The terrorist attacks of 9/11 are now the ace up the sleeve of the U.S. government, according to al-Shammari. September 11 is one of winning cards in the American archives, because all the wise people in the world who are experts on American policy and who analyze the images and the videos [of 9/11] agree unanimously that what happened in the [Twin] Towers was a purely American action, planned and carried out within the U.S. Proof of this is the sequence of continuous explosions that dramatically ripped through both buildings Expert structural engineers demolished them with explosives, while the planes crashing [into them] only gave the green light for the detonation they were not the reason for the collapse. But the U.S. still spreads blame in all directions. [This policy] can be dubbed victory by means of archives. The impetus behind the attacks, writes al-Shammari, was to create an obscure enemy terrorism which became what American presidents blamed for all their mistakes and that would provide justification for any dirty operation in any nation. According to al-Shammaris report in Al-Hayat: 1. The U.S. created, in public opinion, an obscure enemy terrorism which became what American presidents blamed for all their mistakes, and also became the sole motivation for any dirty operation that American politicians and military figures desire to carry out in any country. [The] terrorism [label] was applied to Muslims, and specifically to Saudi Arabia. 2. Utilizing this incident [9/11], the U.S. launched a new age of global armament. Everyone wanted to acquire all kinds of weapons to defend themselves and at the same time battle the obscure enemy, terrorism [even though] up to this very moment we do not know the essence of this terrorism of which the U.S. speaks, except [to say that] that it is Islamic 3. The U.S. made the American people choose from two bad options: either live peacefully [but] remain exposed to the danger of death [by terrorism] at any moment, or starve in safety, because [the countrys budget will be spent on sending] the Marines even as far as Mars to defend you. The Saudi press has been in a frenzy since the unanimous Senate vote to allow for the House of Saud to be held liable in U.S. federal court for the 9/11 attacks, with the U.S. being accused of being in alliance with Iran to press warnings that passage of the Satanic bill would open the gates of hell, as reported by Breitbart. Al-Shammari makes extremely clear that he views the problem as the U.S. imperial machine itself, stating, the nature of the U.S. is that it cannot exist without an enemy. The nature of the U.S. is that it cannot exist without an enemy [For example,] after a period during which it did not fight anyone [i.e. following World War II], the U.S. created a new kind of war the Cold War Then, when the Soviet era ended, after we Muslims helped the religions and fought Communism on their [the Americans] behalf, they began to see Muslims as their new enemy! The U.S. saw a need for creating a new enemy and planned, organized, and carried this out [i.e. blamed Muslims for terrorism]. This will never end until it [the U.S.] accomplishes the goals it has set for itself. While it seems fighting Islamic terrorism is great for increasing fear and State propaganda meant to elicit compliant civilian populations that passively accept loss of liberty for promises of greater security, the military-industrial complex needs a bigger enemy to justify their $600 billion dollar-a-year budgets, thus beginning the transition to labeling Russia/China as aggressive Russia/China, in an effort to begin to pivot away from one bogeyman to other, more profitable, ones. Jay Syrmopoulos writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. For the Global Elite, the main purpose of the 9/11 false flag attack was to create a fulcrum event that would shift the final NWO build out into high gear by (1) re-molding the middle east (new middle east project) thus further centralizing control over the worlds energy resources, and (2) creating an excuse to usher in a global police state with constant techno tracking and surveillance. Tellingly, Saudi Arabia elites pushed this agenda forward by spearheading the formation of a Middle East Regional Government, the Gulf Cooperation Council (modeled after the EU) in 2011 and accepted the new Orwellian high tech control grid, including Agendas 21 and 2030 along with the rest of the GCC who are further along in the process than most of the west. This spat is completely contrived, backed in the cake a long ago to finish the task. Recall the clip of an activist asking 9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey why building 7 wasnt covered in the report and Kerrey replies 9/11 is a 30 year conspiracy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OvCSVb7Uyk how long can the CIA-MOSSAD-MI6 and America go on pretending that al Nusra al Caidah isis and all the others are anything else but them, because 98 per cent of the whole world knows exactly who it is, and if they dont watch out the rest of the world will be declared a no fly zone to the USA, and one other thing that they should know, the Egypt air job had your trade marks written all over it. so GO HOME AMERICA AND PLAY IN THE NURSERY WITH YOUR TOY SOLDIERS, THE WORLD IS SICK OF YOU. well said ! why all those wars when people are dying only by medicaments The real thing that matters is our story that only god knows ! Same reason Europeans dont connect the dots between Gladio and 7/7, the recent Paris attacks, etc. Many Russians dont mentally register the FSB false false attacks in Moscow and Russian intelligence collusion in the Dubrovka theater massacre (with poison gas launched by the authorities killing ~130 hostages), nor the KGB takeover of the political and economic system mirroring CIA / US deep state coupling. Denial, distractions, delusion = democide The theatre massacre in Russia was KGB, not Chechen terrorists?? And other attacks on buses etc, in Russia, it is all a KGB work, not Chechen terrorists? So are the Chechen terrorists behind anything at all?? And what about the recent airplane from Paris to Egypt, blown out of the sky, I was convinced that was Russia payback to Egypt, but was that CIA?? The series of horrific mass scale apt bombings in Moscow were done by the FSB (KGB), caught red handed planting bombs. A number of unexplained and suspicious deaths fell upon Russian journalists, family members, concerned citizens, and bureaucrats trying to get a real investigation into the bombings. These attacks swept Putin (former head of KGB) into power and rammed in laws the equivalent of the US Patriot Act eviscerating civil liberties. The theater attack was similar to the Boston bombing or the first WTC attacks where the FBI had a relationship with the patsies and even aided them in the WTC attack, the KGB knew the perps well and knowledgeable whistleblowers and analysts made it clear there is no way Russian intelligence didnt know what the theater hostage terrorists were planning releasing them from custody knowing what they would do. Going back many years, it was Russias military who took down the plane carrying outspoken patriot Congressman Larry McDonald, a president of John Birch Society surreptitiously captured by the globalist Koch patriarch who had close ties to Stalin. The USSR elites agreed to UN world govt from the start. The USSR agreed? But then why is Russia part of BRICS? I mean, I am assuming the NWO is organized from the US, so if Russia agreed then Russia would not be part of BRICS, no? I have probably got it all wrong Its Kabuki theater, just as weve seen with Democrats and Republicans, high level politicians on both sides serving the NWO. The theater is more elaborate on the international stage, same modus operandi though. BRICS nations, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa all bow to the same international NWO banking system with BIS at the top controlling the IMF, UN World Bank, and all nations central banks, including the US Federal Reserve. The BRICS banking system was in the words of a UN document a dream come true and a BRICS banking executive Vice President is also a Chairman on the board of the IMF, as one small example. The proof of the playbook always goes back to the irrefutable research of Professor Antony Sutton whose book and interviews (Best Enemies Money Can Buy) explained how the elites used the Hegelian dialectic from the beginning funding and aiding the Russian Bolshevik Communist revolution at the very start and continuing to do so through the USSR, follow the money and technology transfers to our supposed enemies (not just the Russians also China and others) given to them by powerful and wealthy US and European dynasties. As a permanent UN member, the USSR had veto power to stop the UN police action (an undeclared war not authorized by the US congress) in Korea which was the Korean war but they refused to vote on the matter because they had already agreed to allow the war to take place as a way to establish the UN as a global war authority. Gen MacArthur found out the hard way the goal was not to contain the Chinese communists when his efforts to rout them for good in the Korea were countermanded by the Secretary of Defense Gen George Marshall who served the Globalists agenda. Theres a long history of the global elite (bankers at the top) puppeteering all nations. BRICS = UN Agendas 21, 2030, cashless society, biometric surveillance, geoengineeringthe entire NWO paradigm. A lot to ponder. Thank you. I found Prof Sutton on youtube. From one thing to another, why does the Chemical Industry wage a war on the American public? With all the chemicals in the soil, food, water and air, not only are adults dying in cancer like never b/f (1 in 100 in 1940, 1 in 2 in 2016!), but in only 9 yrs from now, by 2025, 50% of newborn will have autism and those born healthy may get autism from vaccines (tainted with heavy metals which destroy the brain), and this means that there wont be any replenishment of the US military in the future b/c autistic ppl wont make it to the military, they cant even take care of themselves! This scenario will play out unless something is done to stop this speeding train! So how will the world look like w/o the US military??? As of now, the US military is almost in all the worlds 196 countries, except a few. With no US military, who will protect the globalists? Arent they digging their own grave? China bought the Swiss chemical company Syngenta and is now manufacturing the toxic herbicide Glyphosate under a generic name, so the 1.4 B Chinese population will shrink there the same way the population does here, and left will be 1.2 B ppl in India, and growing, b/c they have a movement against Glyphosate and GMOs, and no birth control. It is said that Asians have the highest IQ, so I guess more ppl in India and less ppl everywhere else will make for an intelligent population, and no world army. Russia must be looking forward to the American future military reduction. There wont be any US armed forces in all the countries on Russias western border in the future, so Russia must feel like a winner South America will get decimated officially by the Zika virus (Glyphosate and vaccines in reality) and Africa will destroy itself with all the constant wars. Europe is already lost, they are so brainwashed its not even funny. In Italy the government decided to give women extra money to procreate more b/c Italy has the lowest birth rate of all European countries, close to only 1 child per family, Italy is disappearing as we speak. So the Georgia Guidestones are definitely manifesting! If only the globalists managed to get the Muslim procreation (eight children per woman) under control. With 1.6 B Muslim world wide, the globalists still have some work to do, but watching the ME I can see they are at it. What a world! Thats a great summary and some excellent observations / questions. The globalists are already creating their global police and military force and we know the US military has already been training with Chinese and Russian troops, the latter for many years. One of the goals of the big international operation in Syria was to create a justification and narrative to further support the meme of a global military force. In the long term, a smaller population can easily be controlled once the techno surveillance grid is completed and everyone is closely tracked and monitored. Weve been told of plans to fill the skies with drones. Pakistan has been the test case for the globalists. I completely agree with everything you said about the chemical poisoning which seems to be part of the soft kill process, to include geoengineering being done in every nation with who knows what being dropped from those planes. The plan is Russia is to be fractured (as discussed in some detail last May or June 2015 in the Rothschild owned The Economist) as is the US (floated in the Wall Street Journal last summer). Putin and his cronies know this, most of their extended families are living in the lap of luxury in the west, they arent nationalists any more than the Bushes or Clintons are. BTW, Asia is under tight NWO control and China was brought to economic power by the globalists to bring them fully into the fold. Yes, spot on, the Georgia Guidestones are manifesting and, additionally, the globalists are using 1984 -esque and Brave New World technology to put us in electronic cages. Its sickening and suffocating and only a small percentage of people fully grasp it, theyre seduced by the propaganda and the technology. Thats the success of incrementalism, the boiling frogs approach. If you want to keep an eye on how fast this process is unfolding, one good source to monitor the efforts to create a global totalitarian technocracy (remember Brzezinskis Technotronic Era?) is Patrick Woods news page (technocracy.news). Sutton mentored Wood and together they wrote Trilateralists Over Washington about the global elite takeover of the US political system. Thanks for the exchange, you have some great insight. Keep shining the light! Thank you for the link, will check it out. There is so much to learn! Re Russia, why would they want to split the country? Russia has only 130 M ppl. But I guess it is not the ppl, it is the natural resources somebody wants. Putin recently offered free land in the far East to anybody who wants to move there to populate it and use for agriculture. But there is nothing there and the climate is cold, still, he may have some takers. I travelled around in the former Soviet Union 30 yrs ago, with a group thru a travel agency with a Russian travel guide. The poverty was striking, but this was so long ago, it is probably different today. Last year I saw a TV commercial about investment in one of the -stan places (Kazakhstan?), part of the former Soviet Union, now a free republic. I was so surprised I had to google the country and found a modern city! 30 yrs ago spice sellers were sitting on stomped ground with large bags of spices in front of them, that was their idea of a Mall. The picture felt like I was not in another country but on a different planet! *L* It was quite an experience I will have to find the info about splitting Russia, I am so tired of Europe always being in an upheaval, it never ends! I am from central Europe, now living in FL. The current migrant occupation is upsetting, hordes of ppl from Afghanistan, northern Africa and elsewhere trying to mold Europe into something it is not, and now there will be more upheaval in Russia?! Enough is enough! But I am grateful to you for all the info. It is better to be informed even if it is bad news. Re electronic cages, not sure if you mean EMF? The technology is making some sensitive individuals, many autistic kids, very sick. I dont own an iPhone and my old car doesnt have any fancy electronic technology so I still feel pretty free, not on any radar. Haha. I plan to keep it that way. But I know that there are ppl in Sweden who have volunteered to get micro chipped! They wave they wrist in front a box on a wall to get into their employer building. They think it is cool. Also Sweden is a front runner of a cashless society. The times they are a changin! Not a pretty picture is it? Times are surely changing but, I refuse to change with it Ive never been to Russia but am constantly reading and researching and its my understanding that Russia is a mixed bag, modernized in many areas to include having created cities in the NWO end stage form of Smart Cities (e.g. Kazansmartcity(dot)com), with constant tracking and surveillance of citizens and micromanagement of all resources. Yet, the Economist article is also correct that Russia is economically and politically fragile in many ways, mired in extreme corruption and having several far flung ethnic groups in outlaying areas that want to break off from the nation state model. The main agenda now for the globalists is to weaken and destroy the nation state model of governance around the world so they can centralize their control and create smaller populations that could never realistically break free from world government not having their own military, control or access to all resources, or political autonomy. From an academic paper I came across found by a blogger, China is being prepared for dismantling too. Back to Russia, as I have pointed out on this website a few times, Russias wealth disparity is the greatest of any nation in the world, so much so economists have said it should be in its own special category! I believe this wealth disparity and a culture of corruption worldwide is being engineered to the extreme by the globalists to create a level of dysfunction such that the people of the world clamor for a new system, which is TPTBs next NWO paradigm waiting in the wings. That would explain why the current US election cycle is a complete circus and intelligence operations such as the Panama papers, Wikileaks, Greenwald-Intercept-Snowden are releasing more information on corruption in high places. Now when countries fail such as Greece and Italy following the 2008 engineered banking and crisis, and just recently the Malaysian political leader ejected for extreme corruption, the replacements are non-elected technocrats, in the case of Italy and Greece they were Trilateralists and Goldman Sachs executives hand picked by the global elite at the top of the pyramid. Last year a globalist academic in Australia wrote a paper encouraging Australians to replace their democratic form of government with authoritarian technocracy so they can be just as efficient as Singapore, the NWO idealized Big Brother technocracy. Im like you, I have avoided the trappings of smart phones and other lures as much as possible but those in their 20s and 30s dont have much concept of what an authentic independent life is and I dont know of any persuasive visionaries who can change the mindset. Its a bizarre and interesting experience to be seeing these rapid changes in our lifetimes. I hope the masses come to their senses, there is no dignity in being chipped, monitored, and controlled every second. You mentioned Brzezinsky. I found a youtube video so now I understand he wants to break up Russia into 3 parts: European, Midddle/Siberia and the Far East. To me it is a strange idea and he sounds like a crazy man. Whats the point of breaking up a country where everybody has the same language, same culture, same belief system, is one nation? The former Soviet Union was a different story, it contained ppl who were NOT Russians, who were Muslims and they were different despite the fact that the officials running their cities were sent there from Russia. Now those ppl and areas are autonomous republics. But Russia is Russia and always will be. Brzezinsky is crazy. But I may be wrong. Time will tell. The globalists want to dismantle every large nation state including the US and they are working on weakening smaller nation states to make them highly dependent on a global system of control. Brzezinski is the lead brain trust manager and has been since the Trilateral Commission was created. There are other elite organizations such as the Council on Foreign Relations, its sibling in the UK Chatham House, and groups like the Bilderbergers, etc. The difference is the CFR is subordinate to the TC and the TC was created to place its members into key government and industry positions around the world (esp. the west and Japan at first) to begin the process of rapid transformation into the new international order. The TC was founded by David Rockefeller and Brzezinski and it took over the entire US executive branch starting with Jimmy Carter and his cabinet. Getting back to the fracturing of nation states into more manageable units, take a look at a map of the New Middle East Project with a quick search and youll see how Iraq has long been planned to be subdivided into thirds and other territories in the middle east will be re-drawn to suit the new model. An elderly contact I knew for several years who passed away not long ago was an activist for close to 40 years working with others to shine the light on the globalists. On his blog page he posted a map drawn by US govt officials in the 1940s proposing to break up the US into 10 regions, these officials worked for the globalists. The plan has been over a century in the making. The problem for us is global governance is neofeudal, disempowering, and very controlling. By electronic cage, I meant humanity will be constantly tracked, monitored, and controlled by the new smart technologies and any dissenters to any policies can be locked out of society (financial, transportation, work, etc) with a few keystrokes. No resistance to vaccines or anything else will be feasible on an effective scale. Youre right, it is crazy, conceived by megalomaniac psychopaths = Political Ponerology. Re The New Middle East Project, I did find a map and I have to say I personally think it is a great idea to break up the Sunni and Shia and also give the Kurds their own land to stop all the crazy wars! Somebody on FB told me to google the History of Jihad. Oboy, was that enlightening! Those ppl cannot live t-o-g-e-t-h-e-r! They must be separated! Re Iran, I know nothing about Iran so I dont have a clue what benefit there would be in breaking up Iran in several parts. Of course, I understand your view about the religious and ethnic wars and how, on the surface at least, the NEMP would seem like a necessary and rational plan, yet, we have to remember the vast majority of conflicts have been engineered behind the scenes by the globalists. Its their continuous use of the Hegelian Dialectic, create the problem, wait for the reaction, force their solution order out of chaos and all that. If you think about it, the Sunnis and Shias were living peacefully together in Iraq before the war, working together and even intermarrying. There are have been many other examples of Christians and the various Islamic branches co-existing peacefully in a nation state model. Im a neuroscientist, medical research focus but I also studied human evolution, behavior, psychology, and cognition too and still try to keep up my knowledge in those fields, so I understand well the natural human impulse for conflict yet, even so, I strongly believe the vast majority of modern day wars and major conflicts (at least the last 200 years) have been instigated and engineered by the global elite. That puts humanity in the position of wanting TPTBs solutions towards steady enslavement with no chance for any type of local or personal autonomy. The face of the NWO is sold as a utopian solution but, IMO, the underbelly is very dystopian, esp. for people who want freedom and choices, to not be programmed and brainwashed from birth. Collectively we have all the solutions we need if they would go away and let us network freely without the constant fog of disinfo which is heavy even in the milieu of alt media sites Hey, Ive got a little autismand if the heavy metals they spray for weather control make more autismthen just maybe they are creating the genius that will bring THEM down. Always a silver liningBe very careful with statisticsanything one wants to prove with numbers they can always find the numbers they need to do show and tell. Exactly where did you get 2025? That is the year the military has demanded that they shall be the rulers of weatherany connection you think? I was a little math wizard as a kid, so I probably have a touch too a slightly different perspective seems to help inoculate us from the BS. There you go! I hate labeling especially out of the DM-III or something like that. Where they have all the symptoms and causes and personalities all matched upbipolar, ADD, sociopaths, split personalitiesugh. But I like being irregular, a mutt, a rebel...A little math wizard...huh. Do you remember a special teacher that might have caused you to LOVE math? You probably were too busy with real stuff to care about TV. We managed to not get brainwashed because couldnt find enough stimulation or interest to sit inside watching tv. I remember huge packing boxes we turned into subs, boats, spaceships I couldnt imagine growing up with all this technology the kids have to deal with todaythese I pods? Smart phones, sure they are fun but to be glued to them crossing streets/driving/entertaining is just weird. The beginnings of Borg Peoples? Blue sweetie!! Hi there! Ive been hitting these keys HARD after this Orlando gig. What do you think, pros and cons, for setting up a new trend to HIRE DESIGNATED PROTECTORS for any group gatheringoutdoor fairscelebrationson a regular basis for regular gatherings? Someone that knows their way around guns, bombs, identifying potential problems, knows how to be invisible and can point well and shoot when necessary? I think people that have those skills would love to sign up, faster than any designated driver. A school to teach bodylanguage, tactics, honing skills and sensessuper duper new job niche and there are people that would LOVE to do this for a living or for a part time job. If someone had had a gun there might have been a chance but to drink and do drugs does not a protector make. If there had been a DP, grins, at that Orlando clubthink about what that would do for those other possible crazies THINKING about going to a heaven with virgins and the Imams in the real world giving them a thumbs up (really, how SAD)but what a deterrent!! Yes? See any potholes with this thought? I love the idea, Sharon! Very proactive, decentralized solution, and pro-second Amendment. Of course, the big concern is TPTB would pull out all the stops to infiltrate and discredit such a group and also attempt to set it up for a false flag with some of their pet whackos (agent provocateurs) the way they sent that insane married couple (police informants) Amanda and Jared Miller to infiltrate the Bundy ranch. Thank goodness the Bundy supporters were smart, they smelled a couple of rats then kicked them out. A few weeks later the Millers killed two cops in a pizza restaurant, completely unprovoked. Wait, Ive missed something. This Amanda and Jared Millerdrawing a complete blank here, trust me not unusual. Youve been keeping tabs on this Bundy/Hammond/Finicum thing? I am so glad. But point me to where I can see this where this mental cop couple killed a couple of cops. Missed that completely? Ill be baaaaaccccckkkk. grins Sorry, its been awhile and I cant recall some of the best sources writing on the Millers. In a quick search I found two links that might help (below). Just so you know, there are different categories of patsies and different methods used to get them to act, in addition to intelligence agents working as provocateurs. I didnt follow the B/H/F stories very closely, just enough to get a handle on it all. A recipe that has been used over and over again for thousands of years! Great wordrecipeseriously, Hitler, Saddam, Mussolini, PolPotall the mass murderer power crazy brilliant yet sick sociopathic humans that want themselves to be the I in I-It mentality. Amazing, thats one of the best and heartfelt rants Ive ever stumbled across! The focus on rationalizations was brilliant. What instantly comes to mind is the results of last years American Institute of Architects (AIA) on adopting a position statement supporting a new investigation into the collapse of WTC: 3892 AGAINST and only 169 for. [http://www.ae911truth (dot) org/news/223-news-media-events-aia-learning-experience.html] Boggles the mind they dont want to know how, according to the NIST report, a few office fires brought down the building in a perfect footprint collapse. Wow. You are not wrong, you are extremely perceptive! Yvonne! My goodnessgreat informationI just want to pop in here about glyphosate. Or Roundup. When I took my pesticide seminars for my licenses, I remember this guy saying that one could drink glyphosate with no harm. Id never believe that but glyphosate is the only pesticide I ever used and my goodnessthe fact that it is in our food is gross. What a joke! Did you hear that there is a synergistic effect between GMO and the dang chemtrails?? Excuse me, gotta go take some pictures of weird atmospheric conditions and chemtrails!! I listen to a lot of online health webinars. Many medical doctors now explain that chemicals in agriculture destroy the gut microbiome which is our immune system, making us susceptible to diseases, and the chemicals also destroy the gut lining so particles escape into the blood and are transported all over the place and can lead to many different diseases, depending on the individuals weakest link. The are ways to stay healthy or regain health: shop organic, take supplements, cut out grains, filter your water and home air, detox, lower stress, meditate, sleep enough hours, get enough sun or take vit D, walk on grass to balance your energies, engage in low impact exercise, try to focus on what makes you happy, have a social life, opt out of vaccines, remove toxic mercury tooth fillings, and when sick find a Naturopathic Doctor or try alternative health therapies/remedies. Re the American population in decline b/c chemicals in agriculture lead to infertility, and also so many children getting autism which means they wont have a family of their own in the future b/c they hardly can take care of themselves, the future seems bleak. We are seeing the end of America as we know it. The same goes for Europe, very low births, partly due to chemicals in the environment but also b/c Europe was affected by the Russian nuclear power plant explosion in Chernobyl (present day Ukraine) in 1986 and some of the particles stay in the environment for 30 yrs, some 100 yrs, some one thousand yrs! The whole South America has the same problems with toxic environment, China and India too. Japan has Fukushima. We humans destroy Nature and then destroy ourselves. (just a note to say microbiome is NOT our immune system) Microbiome is critical for our bodies but really not under the lable of our immune system. Hey, what do you know about Carnivora? Just curious Why do you say the microbiome is NOT our immune system?? I just listened to a webinar with medical doctors for several days and they all say the same thing. I also have a book by one of those docs. We have trillions of gut bacteria which either work for us or against us. When the good gut bacteria gets destroyed by herbicides such as Glyphosate, our immune system is gone with it. What is your formal education? I studied nutrition and a brief course of biochemistry more than 30 yrs ago, so I cant say nothing, I just dont have enough knowledge, I have to trust these docs and their research. GAPS, Gut and Psychology Syndrome, by N. Campbell-McBride, M.D., page 27: The epithelial surface of the digestive system inhabited by huge numbers of bacteria can truly be described as the cradle of the immune system, both systemic and mucosal. Hi there Yvonne! Yes gut bacteria, our skin bacteria are vital to us humans but they are not part of the OFFICIAL immune system which includes: Spleen, Lymph system, Thymus gland, Adenoids, Peyer patches, Bone marrow, the Appendixwhiteblood cells, T cells, b cells, phagocytes One thing people always forget is that the difference between PESTicide and HERBicide is that herbicides do not kill pests, biologicals like us. They are for botanicals. Sure there might be secondary problems from drinking or injesting glyphosate!! But they have put it in our food and you dont hear about all these deathsyet. Bacteria is of course a part of a healthybody, immune system but not the OFFICIAL immune system we were born with. Some ignorant mothers allow c sections where passing through the vagina is critical for proper bacterial infusionas simple as that. Antibiotics should ONLY ONLY ONLY be used in an emergency and then tons of work to repair the damage to our microbiome!! I guess I am being nitpicky but science needs some energy involved with definitions and educating others with proper terminologies. Otherwise people will probably go out and eat dirt or whatever to gain MORE bacteriasthat is a severe analogy but still. People are weird. I had a discussionwith a person on one of these health sites about drinking URINE. Now that was interestingbut just trying to show how easy it is to twist verbiage and knowledge so that people actually will DRINK their urine!! Argghhhh. And you SHOULD look up Carnivora as well as Rick Simpson Oil!! Sounds funky but my goodness they are making sense.. Did I mention that Reagan went out of the states to get Carnivora and it CURED his colon cancer? Why wouldnt he use Americas best therapies? Then Rick Simpson Oil is cannabis distilled down to oil and NO thc just CBDs and the reports are pretty amazing. Burzynski Dr. Burzynski in Texas is another fantastically viable cancer treatmentshes been curing level 4, inoperable cancers, esp. with children for decades. Let me know what you think. There is also baking soda, vitamin B-17, Laetrille, ESSIAC, and cant think of the others right now. Let me know what you find! I am busy in the vegey garden in an area that shouldnt have vegey gardens. Our green house collapsed last fall and we are trying to grow this garden without the protection while we are putting up the new greenhouse that is a lot more sturdy!! Heh, hehwhat do you know about (shhhhhhh, chemtrails)??? Found Carnivora immune system supplement on Ty Bollingers The Truth About Cancer site. Yes, I am familiar with Rick Simpson oil. Chemtrails? Blank. This chemtrail thing is incredibly weird. I am 80/20 %this has been going on for decades. Patents up the ying yang since the 20s. Understanding a bit of science dictates that they are not NORMAL. And discussing with geoengineers they flatly deny any such thing and laugh. I am able to think and our military has declared that they would be KING OF the weather by 2025hey the only way they could do that is by seeding , spraying and whatever to play with changing the weather. And then there is Haarpsighs. We are so wigged out with good OLE CO2 yet the particulates it must take to have these persistent contrailsjust have to be far more effectivewater vapor is vastly more of a greenhouse gas than CO2next is methane, next is Nitrogenway down the list is CO2. Plants LOVE CO2 and thrive and put out more O2. The heavy metals are horrendous and if this is all true that is what is making our soils and waters out of wack chemically and pH. This stuff is so in our face yet our scientists say it is a joke. Then I remember scientists have to say what they are told to say if they want their fed grants. We just made Simpson oil yesterday. Ive got a gorgeous chocolate lab who is older but has a tumor the size of a footballin or beside her left lung. Veterinarians are kinda worse than doctors!! So we made this stuff and she also is getting her Carnivora boosted. Ill let everyone know if this helps her!!! If we could afford it wed have it taken out of her but very dangerous for an old dog. Anyhoo, great to have an interesting and worthwhile discussion on these sites! My lines of expertise are physical fitness (exercise specialist) and plants (landscape architect licensed, 3X master gardener, pesticide applicatornever did boo with pesticide, they teach how never to use pesticide). Did you know our damn doctors have NO NUTRITION NOR NO PHYSICAL FITNESS experience nor education? Ive got tons of body knowledge to include anatomy, physiology, kneisiology and 30 years of experience with bodiesexercise studios. I took my authority very seriously! I took my professors to the mats!! Always watch who or what has written the articles. Poor doctors are such slaves to the system to include that their core studies deal with NO NUTRITION NO PHYSICAL EXERCISE! The two most important things for health for our bodies!! My own personal doctors will attest they have to put on their thinking hat for every appointment with me! Grins!! Seriously, I had (poor) professors on the run in the halls when I went to contest their examsheh, heh, heh! I HIRED licensed dieticians to give seminars for my classes every third month! I still have tons to learn but sometimes I think I know more than the doctors. Sadly, seriously. And NO you do not have to trust the guys in white coats!! Always take everything and put it on the back burner until you learn more. Doctors are so encumbered with politics to get a return on their very expensive education costs as the drugs they purchased (chemo/radiation therapies). They are human after all!! Keep hammering your doctors/dentists about everything. Use the time YOU are paying forgrins. You sound very educatedfar more than your doctors where nutrition is concerned for sure! Did I write this or did you write this..? *L* I agree 110%!!! The webinars I listen to with medical doctors are the ones who do have the nutrition knowledge, the latest alternative cancer therapies knowledge etc. The rest of the white coats are just serving the Big Pharma business model, building a paying customer base. You know? It is so comforting to have a meeting of mind with someone that has as much or more of energy and passion and intelligence! grins, keep in touch! Heres a 45 second clip of a lobbyist (a PhD scientist) asked by a French reporter if he would drink some glyphosate. Its in our water, in the earth, our blood stream, fetuses were soaked in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovKw6YjqSfM Hey Bluehow the heck did Obama get to have this second JOB with UN? That is against the law (as is NOT being an American Citizen) can we say conflict of interest?? The only way we get decent information are sites like this. If we can stop using potty language and get our petty gripes out of the equation. Obama is Brzezinskis hand puppet and Brzezinski is the top geopolitical henchman and brain trust for the Rockefellers who sponsored and funded the UN along with the Rothschilds. But Im guessing your question was rhetorical, you already knew the answer. Law? They dont care about the law, never did except as a tool for control. HEH, heh hehRussia is part of BRICS because it is the second letter of the anacronym, grins. Our own president has had a SECOND job on the UN security council, and now he wants to be the UN Secretary General via Hillary. This is such great stuff to be readingjuicy juicy stuff. Complete bullshit.youre obviously a plant for one of the American agencies. You obviously havent done any research on the FSB false flags, widely available on the internet in long, thoroughly researched articles and books written by investigative journalists. Nor are you aware of the FSB assassination of whistleblower Alexander Litvinenko in London with radioactive polonium. The history of Fred Koch is also widely known and the links of his sons to the Aspen Institute and the Earth Initiative as well as the recent funding of an organization to encourage US hispanics to vote is proof enough they are like the Ford dynasty, not truly neocons, but rather funding both sides of the Dialectic. Ford had a plant in the USSR building vehicles used to assault US soldiers in the wars (undeclared, UN police actions) in Korea and Vietnam. Go study the huge body of research by the late Professor Antony Sutton and stop shooting the messenger with baseless accusations. Alexander Litvinenko wasnt killed by the FSB at all ..it all points towards the MI6 who used an Italian stooge to do their dirty work. Thats not what the forensic findings show at all, nor the formal court inquest in London which also carefully scrutinized motive and opportunity. Virtually every national intelligence agency operates in a mafia manner leaving calling cards as warnings to others and, culturally speaking, Russians have historically been among the most overt, esp. domestically. Nobody outside of the highest ranked personnel in these kinds of agencies knows exactly what happened but the FSB false flag large scale apartment bombings have been intensively researched and written about thus there is good reason to accept a strong motive. One of the best investigative journalist reports Ive come across is None Dare Call It Conspiracy by Scott Anderson, 2009. Anderson interviewed Russians in Russia for the piece. http://reprints.longform (dot) org/putin-conspiracy-banned-story-anderson Coincidence that Putin et al began dismantling civil liberties Patriot Act style after the incidents? Not a chance, nor the countless other coincidences preceding and following. As weve seen with Al Qaeda and ISIS being spawned by the global elite and the globalists being behind the major terrorist attacks as false flags, there are also, no doubt, small scale attacks and acts of violence by jihadists that have taken place independently. Likewise, it would be expected that most of the large Chechen-blamed attacks are intelligence derived with some smaller acts of violence being organic acts of rebellion and retaliation for air strikes against them often termed blow back. BTW, theres a lot of in-depth research on the Moscow apartment bombings if youre interested the details. I dont think anyone outside of high level intelligence would know for certain about the airplane bombing. Russian, Egyptian, US and most other intelligence agencies are interlocking at this point, they work together on big operations which is why it appears Russian intelligence sent assassins to finish off the downed Polish plane with nearly the entire Polish executive branch on board when they rebuffed the IMF and refused to participate in the latest vaccine hysteria. The executions were captured on video by a journalist. Wow. Thank you. More CIA apologist B U L L S H I T! You must be paid by the comment rather than the content. No need for erudite deconstruction. Thats all you have? LOL That was Israeli as they were having war games in the air space the plane disappeared from. You are talking about the latest airplane, the one from Paris to Egypt plunging into the Mediterranean, right? Are you talking about the Egyptian plane like Yvonne asked? From what Ive seen when they turned to go back and then sharply turned againisnt that a manuver when being SHOT AT? America is the hammer wielded by the psychopath global elite. Gotta go for the head of the beast many centuries in the making. You know? I am in part totally agreeing with you. I am a very embarrassed American but I am also a very embarrassed human. We have these incredible brains and yet we know so little. Please be careful about the US AND THEM mentality. We are all on the same tiny planet. What affects one part of the world will affect you eventually. Learn from our mistakes and also the mistakes on your beloved country. Dont get so wigged out. I am taking my wiggedoutiness on this keyboard! But keep a perspective that is beneficial, for yourself and your country and this world. And we all know nothing!! Or at least we know some stuff, infer the rest but never take such a standitll be hard on you eventually. American is such a baby country!! No culture too short of time for making a definitive cultureand I agree that money has made humans idiots, especially Americans. So give us a break? Ha ha ha? Well said, Sharon, and I completely agree. Pink Floyd was spot on years ago with their Us and Them song. Thats exactly what it is, engineered globalist wars and the helpless pawns who fight them. Be advised there appears to be a professional disinfo misdirection campaign underway designed to portray Americans (rather than American elites) in a bad light and to also create a heavy self-loathing aspect among the awake crowd. IMO, its way too much negativity and counterproductive. We need to come together, not fall prey to more of the same divide and conquer! You know, the average American is not the CIA, the military, the police, the government, the bankers, the Wall Street, not even a multi millionaire. But it is the average American who makes America. So when you yell at America, you yell at us. We are as much a victim as anybody outside this country. They are waging a war at us too, with poisons in the food chain, in water, in air, in vaccines. In 30-40 years from now there wont be a US military b/c in 10 yrs from now 1 in 2 newborn will have autism. Autism is a disease making the individual unable to take care of him/herself! The other 50% newborn may get autism from vaccines after they are born. So there wont be many young men available for military service in the future. The ppl who run this world only have 30 more years to ruin this world, but in the process they will ruin America as much as they will ruin the rest of the world. Well said, Yvonne, we never consented and Americans have been as blinded as brainwashed from childhood as the rest of the enslaved world. IMHO, we have more access to information than most or many thus our responsibility is to shine those lights as best we can to reverse and hopefully stop TPTBs scheming. Why doesnt this piece mention Israel? Not once? Saudi and Israel are BFF now. Didnt you hear? Dont worry, theyre both fickle players. And with only one hill (Earth) to be King of, sooner or later one or the other will turn Because the article is a gatekeeper article to protect the real guilty parties. 9/11 was a joint venture between US, Israel, Mossad, House of Saud and other assorted New World Order Zio-Terrorists. Its time for all the players to receive the credit due them and the attending consequences. With the bankers at the top of the pyramid working the nation states on puppet strings. Problem is they plan the limited hangouts and outings decades and generations in advance to further their agenda on several fronts. Agreed! In the meantime though Id be happy just running with this part of the puzzle. To the gallows eventually, a few Amerikkan war criminals in tow. Id love to find JAMES BOND 007!! And sic him on our Amerikkan War Criminals!!! And we are so flush with themto include Hillary, Obama, Bush, Cheney.etc. Theyve all sold their souls. Ick. 9/11 is the fulcrum the zioinst bankers and NWO scum needed to usher in the terror card to freak out the populace and force them into a keep me safe mind control system. Carrying out this false flag event took years to plan and execute covertly. the 911 commission was/is a joke. Troubling to me that Trump met Kissinger.but I guess they all have to once they get that far Its a beginning. We call this Boomerang cause it comes back home to haunt the real criminals. The Saudi regime has been in bed with the Bush family and other rich Texas oilmen for over 60 years. Even the Saudis are in fear of also blaming the obvious Zionist Israel and the Shin Bet and MOSSAD. Well, their only saying that cause its true. RB has it spott on. We dont know enough of the truth about 9/11 to be able to say that it was in fact an Islamic terrorist attack or an inside job or a combination of both. However, it would not surprise me in the least, if it was an inside job. The terrible action on that day fit right into the requirements of a neocon policy paper, the new American century. One must also question the supposed execution of Osama bin Laden who was summarily killed even though unarmed, thus stilling the only voice that could have thrown a light on the 9/11 story (fable). As well, Bushs ferrying the bin Laden party and other Saudis out of the US by air the day after the attack, when all other commercial flights were grounded, creates a terrible suspicion that still lingers today. Dont forget, that when Bush was questioned by the 9/11 investigative committee, a committee he didnt want to create), he demanded that Cheney be with him. Dont you think that is a strange request from a sitting president, if he has nothing to hide? Also a thousand engineers and physicists have stated categorically, that buildings do not pancake at free fall speeds unless prior wired for demolition. Goodness, there are just too many questions that remain unanswered to come to any conclusion. Suffice it to say though that the most recent cover your a** statements by members of the 9/11 investigative committee, complaining about their lack of access to evidence while investigating, points to a potential for denouncement of their original findings. Facts: Bill Clinton ignored the warnings. another Pearl Harbor was needed So what is your reason for not believing the engineers explaining it was a demolition??? WOW! More propaganda lies and deception from the country we protected in 1991. And bet the leftists are most assuredly behind it as well. Jim please do not confuse all this confusion by leftists or rightists. that is just your programming talking. honest injun, grins!! Your statement proves you actually know very little about your country. I suggest you find actual news reports revealing the country where most of highjack3rs were from and WHO they were working with. You are brainwashed by the state if you believe in this false left/right paradigm meant to divide the American people. Wake up, bruh. Good find! Its about time we all focus on the terrorists who did 9/11. That being the U.S. government, the neocons, the U.S. military and U.S. Intelligence. Lets stop falling for the blame game blaming other countries who at best played a role in 9/11. To kill the dragon you must cut its head off. Enough of the lies about Saudi Arabia, Israel and others. Start by holding Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the U.S. Military responsible for 9/11 PERIOD. Then and only then will we begin to solve 9/11. I think that there are too many Americans that just are not ready for this information. My goodness the vitriolic resistance Ive encountered when 9/11 comes upwatching that happen that morning I saw blatant crap while the news was already being coached for what and how they were to report. Those pictures arent available or used anymore on main stream media. Just simply common sense. If one doesnt see plane parts then there probably wasnt a plane. No way that a plane could crash into the top of the towers and cause the tower to implode so perfectly. Gee, very costly to have demolition companies and crews to create this very same resultif this was true, Id hire a drone plane to demo a tall building for lots less money!! Joint venturehummmm. Other countries might have been EMPLOYED by the true orchestrators which were obviously our own greedy top wigs in our governmentBUSH, CHENEY, RUMSFELD, Silverstein who owned the towers to include (what a major in our face joke) building 7as well as the military!! All those lame war game type practices occuring at the same time.boy, it scares me how most Americans will side with these mass murderers to make themselves feel better even though our government is so rotten and corrupt. Very lucid and accurate comments. Jays article is also very accurate except for comments about how the buildings were brought down. No detonations caused those buildings to collapse the way they did, it would have taken thousands of charges perfectly placed and the debris would have been chunks and not choking dust. The cutting edge technology used to dustify the buildings has been well documented by Judy Wood in her book titled Where Did the Towers Go and confirmed by other experts. Its surprising that Jay missed such direct and damning technological evidence that leads right to the perpetrators, its the smoking gun. Plenty of plane parts found. What happened to the passengers? On some desert island somewhere? So you are telling me you SAW those plane parts? That day? I was there sweetiepie and there was NO sign of a plane. They found an engine (that didnt belong to that plane and that is it). There was NO way a plane could have dived into that building leaving such a tiny hole! And NO LIGHT STANDARDS were broken!! Did you see the open books on the very edge of that hole? So NO way heat could have melted a plane. Get a grip! It was obviously a missle. like duh? Same with the Pennsylvania Plane gouge in the earthNO PLANE PARTS, just a gouge. Go look this stuff uptheyll give you an idea of where those people went. If they are alive they will keep their mouths shut or else. At least you are asking questions!! Dont give up. Yes, Sharon. The mind boggles when you realise how blind society really is. Being a truther like us is a pretty lonely and isolating experience too! I agree, it does feel so very lonely and tough to be around most people at all. This site is pretty amazing to find so many others being able to talk about thesefalse flags!! Dont think at all that you are alone, our media makes us feel the minority and I just gotta believe that most of us are smarter and more courageous than that!! Here is for the people standing outside the mob of nuts and sheep! Thanks, Sharon. I have to say I worry about our children more than anything. And I have no idea how to protect them when Im being fought from every angleGod Speed! Our children, our future is completely ignored. Thank you for bringing up the most important aspect of allour kids.for most people it is all about immediate gratification. Talk about the brainwashing that has been going on our entire lives and way before we were born!! YOU have to understand that you are not alone sweetie. You are doing your children a favor by showing them a true American, a courageous human that can stand apart from any dang group because it is right. It IS our children that will have to remember to get the energy to go up against these corrupt human societies and it is your job to show them how to do it and look very very cool, smart and fearless. grins!! Learn gardening together, think about scenarios that might (will) happen and how you and your family will react. Tell them how necessary it is to keep quietthey ARE part of your TEAM. Pretty cool way to keep your family together. Never say prepperchemtrails or other conspiracy labeled ideas. It would be tough to not get them to see it is an US VERSUS THEM scenario but it is!! And secrecy is vital for getting along with the rest of the world. When one gets retired, kids on their own then one can get stupid and yap our hearts outwhich is all we retired can do anyway! grins!! Teach your kids how to start fires. How to garden. What GMO is all about, gag. How to shop for healthy food. Get rid of prepared, processed boxed and canned foods unless of course you can it yourself which is also great learning. How to track animals and humanstracking IS the language of the wilderness and such an incredible education that I worry is NOT being promoted anymore. But if your kids knew the wilderness, how to fend for themselves they will be less afraid and more of a boon to the rest of us humans. Get rid of the MONEY GOD. Classes in wilderness survival is fascinating, gardening, preserving food, compostinghow to think for themselves and be creative no matter where one finds oneself, that skill is necessary.this education is critical and will give you and your kids strength that just cant be bought. What I KNOW is this kind of knowledge is pertinent to ALL and every skill us humans are learning or need to learn. If stuff doesnt collapse this knowledge is core to us humans and like I said is applicable to everything. Being proud to have the guts to stand outside the group is the BEST thing I know to have on ones resume.!!! Great post! Yep I do pretty much all of the above lol! However, im a single guy these days (seperated 3 years) and live in Australia. Done plenty of Roo hunting as I spent a lot of time in the outback. My younger one is 6 and the battle with vac and government taking money from families that refuse vaccine! However, government and doctors are exempt? How people cant see whats happening is so forking frustrating! Im largely ignored by my ex, as I always have been lol. She is a nurse and backs the medical mafia too. Honestly, I wish there was one unspoiled island somewhere on this planet and I could move there! But there is none. I believe in reincarnation so I dont want to die b/c I can live with the info I have acquired to this point but I have no idea what my next life would be like and I just dont want to come back to Earth, there is no future here!!! I am sorry about your kids, wishing them good luck. Hey, great to see you around Brett! I have question if you dont mind. Ive been wondering if there are any Australians concerned about the announcement this month that more Singapore troops will be training in Australia with $2B spent on joint facilities and both sides cooperating more closely in the areas of security, trade, education and the arts and culture. Sounds nice but also incrementalism at work, a blurring of sovereigntyand there is that paper from the dude out of Melbourne Univ calling for Australia to give up on democracy and become like Singapore. Whoa! I still cant believe he said that. Kinda brazen, arent they? Hey Blue! Thanks for your reply. Mate I have to tell you I have not even heard anything about that over here! The media is VERY selective of what it tells us as you know. I will look into that though! Wow, not even covered in your mediaboggles the mind. I wondered how it was spun to avoid criticism never thinking of a blackout. Global military meme is here too with Chinese troops training with US soldiers last year in Washington state and for many years the Russians have been training at US bases, including the Air Force Academy nearby. Interesting times! As always, best regards to you and yours. Yep, very interesting times. There is so much happening right now they are kind of keeping us overly busy! Very accurate except for comments about how the buildings were brought down. No detonations caused those buildings to collapse the way they did, it would have taken thousands of charges perfectly placed and the debris would have been chunks and not choking dust. The cutting edge technology used to dustify the buildings has been well documented by Judy Wood in her book titled Where Did the Towers Go and confirmed by other experts. Its surprising that Jay missed such direct and damning technological evidence that leads right to the perpetrators, its the smoking gun. Dustify, LOL. You people cant even agree on how the buildings were brought down. Planes crashing into them filled with fuel are too pedestrian to you. Must be space weapons. Too pedestrian? Also too convenient and too impossible! what happened in the [Twin] Towers was a purely American action,: Twin towers plus ONE MOREbuilding 7. Dear Jayplease update your article to reflect the fact that THREE (3) buildings were brought down on 9/11/2001: WTC 7 at 5:20 p.m., WTC 2 and WTC1 in the morning. Probably half of the world, at least, doesnt know that three (3) buildings, not two, were brought down on that day. And Building 7 (aka The Salomon Brothers Building), a building which Lucky Larry (aka Larry Silverstein, who built/owned #7 and hes called Lucky Larry because of his foreknowledge, or is it foresight? of putting two (2) terrorist attacks in his insurance policiesAND the foreknowledge, or foresight, of his wife, to make sure he kept his early morning dermatologists appointmentliterally saving his own skin, while his compatriots (aka stooges) had their breakfast in a conference room at Windows on the Worlduntil their repast was stilled by pyrotechnics, bombs and controlled demolitionby death, in other words. What a thoughtful boss, hunh? With bosses like that, who needs a Mafia to rub out inconvenient Americans, etc. BTW, Rudi Giuliani did rescue the gold bars that had been snagged under WTC #6wouldnt want to let people think money was not being made in other ways on this Fine False-Flag Day in 2001 (also the short-trading, bond-cashing stuff). The Saudis should be cheered up, happy of heart, because they HAVE a lawsuit problem, and should definitely accept nothing less than a full jury trial. They should insist that the any and all trials, legal proceedings, motions, etc., be BROADCAST LIVE around the world. Imagine if the US had to prove in a court of law just how the buildings came down. Thats something the US and its Zionist/US co-conspirators have assiduously avoided for lo these past 16 years (or 15 counting). Thats some imagination you have there. 15 years and counting, and still no proof. Honest Injun? This is your reply? Your thoughts? Go watch In Plane Sight or Dr. Judy Woods lectures. How anyone can remain a doofus after that will just be because you cant stand the scary world where the truth truly lies. The fact you are actually on here is because that little voice of reason is badgering you that SOMETHING AINT RIGHT. Hang in there. It is pretty painful to see truthbut you just cant go back. No proof? It was right in front of your eyes if you had been watching 9/11 as it was happeningto include building 7. Our minds have a tough time learning an ugly truth until we dont have so much on our plate. And our minds will do some incredible gymnastists to protect us from paradigms that will blow us away cause we gotta spend time making the money and paying the bills. Dr Dusty, oh yeah! Pretty snappy comeback, huh? SAUDIS OPENING A CAN OF WORMSpandoras box I think this Saudi has a pointnot that they arent treacherous and self serving enough to have gone along with it.but that was their mistake, and now they are paying for it via lawsuits for 9/11. As long as it was self serving they kept their mouths shut so crying wolf now wont help them much. Theyve been thrown under the bus like so many other useful tools. Suckers I always thought 9/11 was an inside job.thats obvious. NORAD stood down there is NO explanation for that, but the transition of enemies has surprised me because China and Russia are in a defensive posture..it is us who is in their backyards. So why the PIVOT from Islam, and why those 2 countries as the new boogeymen ? China didnt hold a gun on us for the trade deals, we did that because we were BORROWING A TON OF MONEY FROM THEM. We also did the coup in the Ukraine are still attempting one in Syria, which we knew Russia wouldnt stand idly by and tolerate. WTH are we doing in these aggressions? I see no purpose served for the American people.none at all. Do you see how the refugee crisis fits in to this nicely? Hard to be at war with Islam and import Muslims. Has our govt. gone too far this time with the Saudis? Are we risking exposure? It sure looks that way. Apparently we have gone too far with China and Russia too because they have been PREPARING for this day for years building their military, buying gold and setting up new money/trade exchanges. World War III is not going to save our economy thats for sure. Hes wrong about one thing, we can exist just fine without an enemy, but our war profiteers banksters cannot.and they have been running things for far too long. SO.when are Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld going to prison? WHAT do we have to show for $600 billion defense (offense) budgets? WOEFULLY LITTLE. Most at the Pentagon need to be fired too. Great post, Rhonda! We will see many things unfold in a short space of time in the not too distant future. Things are happening at a real pace now. NWO seem almost anxious to move things along whilst not even hiding things now This is being revealed in the Saudi press? How many decades will it be before it is seriously exposed in the The Saudis were on General Clarks list of seven countries in seven years to be overthrown by the US Certainly poked the hornets nest it seems that is the point! Not the truth, rather a psyop with a twist. The seven countries were Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. Also, you should note that Clark is not any kind of truther, he is a die-hard globalist (recall, for example, the public comment he made last year about placing Americans in internment camps) and it doesnt make any sense that he would slip up and spill the beans nor that someone at his level did not know the larger plan of the New Middle East Project in advance and had to be tipped off by a subordinate as he claimed. That means the release of the 7 country meme was a CIA operation and covered up the fact that Syria and Iran were already being brought into the fold of the New World Order, rapidly and radically reforming their economic and political systems into the IMF/UN neoliberal model beginning in the 90s accelerating by the early 2000s. Saudi Arabia elites have been very obedient NWO minions and are not being thrown under the bus so much as they are playing a part in a large scale theatrical performance, meanwhile, they are preparing in earnest for the tectonic economic changes mandated by Agenda 2030. So we should expect an attack on Iran in the future? No, Iran is a pretend boogeyman, a knowing complicit actor in the charade, theyve been going the way of the NWO since the 90s adopting neoliberalization, Agenda 21, and now Agenda 2030. Iran was accidentally given technical plans for their nuclear weapons program through Operation Merlin (Clinton admin) and in the last 5-10 years were being sold advanced military parts and weapons for their fighter jets under the table by the US and Israel all the while the US mainstream media was portraying Iran as part of the axis of evil yet western elites knew Iran was cooperating with the international bankers re-creating their economy and society into the NWO paradigm. Theres a slick Tehran Smart City brochure online (in English) touting its participation in the UN Sustainability model to include coercing their citizens to adopt govt issued biometric Smart Cards to track and monitor their travel with identical to cards being issued around the world to kick off the cashless society which are at first used for travel and then quickly expanded to all activities. Hi drbelthi, have you come across any well researched books on the Rockefellers hand in creating the deep state? Seems like most of the books expose the henchmen rather than the masterminds, as I suppose is natural given the most powerful forces likely hide their involvement from behind the curtain. Is there an equivalent family in Europe below the Rothschilds or would that be the European bankers and royals? Hello Blu ! Theres a lot more in-depth info on the Rockefellers, however, it seems to be scattered about. A Tragedy and Hope level expos updating the entire global scheme would be tremendously helpful. Sorry about your notes. Cheers! Interesting. While what the Saudi govt says about the USA IS TRUE, its also true that many of the terr0rists were Saudis (under the employ of the U.S. govt of course. Even a tiny bit of research yields this information). In reality Saudi Arabias govt is just as complicit in this crime against the American people as the U.S. govt itself! It is hard to not blame Islam for the many thousands of terrorist attacks and deaths in the last 20 years. Islam has acknowledged its involvement in at least 99% of these attacks. The involvement of the House of Saud and the US in setting the stage is not hidden, and does not detract from the Saudi attempt to make Islam a puppet enemy. Nope sweetie, it is harder to wrap ones mind around the FACT our own leaders and their leaders masterminded this horrible false flag! THEY want conflict. THEY hire other nationalities to be the scape goatand the so called TERRORISTS love this. WE are the terrorists, we actually made that term since 9/11 remember Bush with the TERRORIST, TERRORIST TERRORIST, CHANT? We our country our leaders MADE ISIS, the Taliban, Al Queda (sp)we MADE THEM. We trained them, we armed them up to their teeth, we finance them to BE THE TERRORISTS. Unbelievable our leaders murdered all those people and kids 9/11. Kinda hard to allow that into ones reality but everything factual proves this over and over. Yet, we are so afraid that our country is complicit we fabricate whole new realities that MUSLIMS or those guys over there we dont know, understand and cant get along with so that we can stay comfy with the knowledge our country actually CARES about us. Once one crosses that line to reality there is no going back. People actually KNOW they saw a plane crashed into the Pentagoninto that empty divit for the Pennsylvania flight crashnot one sign worthwhile at the time could anyone sane see a plane crash. Yet my fabulously intelligent friends and family SEE the plane wreckage and poo poo our LEADERS involvement. Sure they drug in a motor or two or a few pieces but to believe these murderers our leaders is such sad thinking. Go look and youll find that we made, support and promote TERRORISTS, from countries us americans just do not know and thus are afraid of and willing to believe that they murdered OUR people when WE murdered our own people.sick all the wise people in the world who are experts on American policy and who analyze the images and the videos [of 9/11] agree unanimously that what happened in the [Twin] Towers was a purely American action, planned and carried out within the U.S. Proof of this is the sequence of continuous explosions that dramatically ripped through both buildings This ignores Building 7, which WASNT hit by a plane, yet collapsed like the other two, at near-free-fall acceleration, straight down AGAINST the path of greatest resistance, symmetrically and neatly into its own footprint. This was controlled demolition and DOMESTIC terrorism. Millions of us know this and demand a REAL investigation! Very illuminating, thank you! How very true..the Journalist above nailed it..and what millions around the world always believed! Yes, I just watched several videos on youtube. I had no idea until I came here. This is disturbing. Hi Sharon, yes you are right again, Judy Woods info is too much for most sheep to handle at this stage. I always get loads of messages calling me a sci-fi freak when I bring up how the building disintegrated or turned into dust. The military industrial complex has a lot to answer for. Waking up was such an experience and once you wake up there is no going back! Then there is ones entire family and friends quite tough. Science fiction is so very much fun, especially the hard stuff likeThe Martianthe detail was yummy (except for the wind storm at the very beginningmarketing). Weird world,, you take care to stay sane yourself. It might be too late for me!! grins! Haha, Id rather be insane and awake than asleep. Dont even mention family and friends, I need psyche meds in their eyes. I tried warning them about vaccines, GM foods, pharma meds, etc and now they KNOW I am a certified nutcase, woohoo! Dont forget about geoengineering. How can the public not notice it? Dont give up Simon, were in Platos cave and we know the shadows on the wall arent real. Slowly but surely we have been making good headway and some tipping points are coming into view. Welcome to the world I think is the real worldand youve got the balls to have stepped over the line. Could you ever imagine going back? No one that wakes up could ever go back. For me that says an awful lot. Yup, certified nutcases. That is us and worth every heart break we had to go through to actually seeugh. You should know by now that you arent alone. You can always get ahold of me to toss new stuff around. Id love that. Just let your friends and family know that you are out there watching out for them and if you ever have to tell them anything they should probably LISTEN. And just smile and dont talk about politics/religion/world anomaliesfind others at least one or two that do understand the world you now see! There is no in-between. They either think our country this world is groovy, we live in the best country in the world, our votes actually count and there is more truth than lies in the media or We know better. Others that think like you think JUST LIKE YOU. 180 degrees difference. That should tell us something as well!! Black and White??? HUmmmmmmmm, grins. You are able to have the guts to stand outside the BOX. Kudos, Simon. Thanks Sharon, it really is great to know others can see through the BS veneer as it can feel awful lonesome at times. I took the red pill and have no chance of going back now. In regards to politics, how can anybody possibly think their vote counts just astounds me, especially in any western dunce-ocracy, just dont vote! best to be the silent mysterious type. grinsit is a bummer that at a time when we need to know and trust our neighbors yet we will be enemies.whaaaaaaeeee! Try to make some sort of a relationship. gee it would be nice to have a group of sane like minded peopleto chat with!! Thanks for being here and courageous enough to tackle the big picture, the entire forest. Take careyou arent alone at all Closer to 2 trillion when you include all manners of coercive power, courts, police, jails, along with surveillance and department of war Hugs back, and thank you, Sharon! Sorry for the late reply, Disqus didnt notify me of your response as it often does. I stumbled upon it responding to someone else. The closest weve gotten to an effective counter (007) is probably someone like the young genius Aaron Russo but look what happened to him as he battled to keep the internet free and open. Its up to us to make that big consciousness shift once and for all. My recommendation is to keep an eye on the big picture which is the rolling out of the 1984-esque model of global totalitarian Technocracy. One good source is Patrick Woods technocracy (dot) news webpage. Hopefully soon there will be others online unmasking this monstrosity. Best regards and cheers! Keep shining that light. Youre welcome and spot on about Hillary! She and Bill give me the creeps just as much as their good friends the Bushes, right up there with Kissinger literally makes my skin crawl as I type! Yeah, theyve wanted to install her for a long time. I remember when she first started running all 3 major US networks tried to put in lead female news anchors for their evening news programs and Geena Davis played the POTUS in some kind of TV program that didnt last too long. How millions could trust these people is so hard to wrap my head around, but then I guess it figures they dont even notice blatant chemtrailing overhead! Theyre sleepwalkers in the Matrix. So amazing that the Matrix has become more truth than science fiction. Just always remember you didnt always GET IT as you do now. When we were working to pay bills, go to school, raise kids we all had a different view of our world our reality than we do now. And we can not go back. If others are actually on these sites it shows that their little voice is telling them something is wrong. Their first instinct is to be pissy, put all downbut they ARE HERE. They are on their way to change and you know how tough it was to realize everything we knew had to be reevaluated, was in our face WRONG and even then we could only absorb a little bit at a time. This helps me an awful lot. It is positive. Thanks. I realize were all different but Ive noticed the most awake people resist the extreme conformity early on. I had an epiphany I was in a matrix kind of world when I was just eight, then kept seeing things throughout my youth recognizing the simulacrums over and over, big and small, often like fractals, fully waking up shortly after 9/11 having just finished grad school shocked by the twisting of knowledge in academia in medical science, no less. Once you see it all though, you cant unsee it but some just never take off those rose colored glasses and there is always a good story for them even if it really doesnt make much sense. There are some are great openings, natural health integrative healing being my personal favorite. I just keep hoping for that tipping point and soon while we still can. Cheers and regards! Riding a fence is just not a fun way to live. Just like you said I really get itlets just get ON with thisWHILE WE ARE physically able to DO something!! Not fair if shtf when we are in wheelchairsgees. I would LOVE to be a few decades younger to be able to DO SOMETHING!! Hehare you ADD? Or something? Oh I am major ADD and proud of it. Hunters versus farmers? Natural Health is excellent and useful no matter what side of the fence we are on! Our damn doctors are so majorly mislead and they have to learn how to go along to get along. I recently found that doctors have pretty much zero education about the two areas critical for health! Physical education and nutrition. Incredible. Nice chats and I thank you! Wheelchairs, huh? Youre hilarious, great sense of humor! Gotta have it to not go nuts watching the zombies swimming around in the matrix. Thank goodness I laugh as much as a sigh. Im gen-X, my ETA for a wheelchair is ~35-40 years unless the chemtrails strike us down earlier and the statistical trends arent looking great so who knows how debilitated well all be from the synergistic effects of the toxic soup were being subjected to. Its beyond gross. Yuck!! Judging by TPTBs hard target dates to roll out their techno feudal dystopia we dont have much longer to wait. I was hoping they would have to drag it out over a few more generations, but not so lucky, its right around the corner. Yeah, so lets get ON with it is right! Not sure Im ADD, more like a disinfo decoder savant. Dont get me started on docs, part of my training and the profession of my better half. Brainwashing and big egos, yep. Some resist but theyre incredibly swamped, no time to think outside the box. Im a huge fan of Mercola, a kindred spirit, he really gets it. Ditto, thanks for the exchange and happy hunting. Yep, chemtrails are mostly for weather manipulationhowever, they have been doing bizarre experiments with biologicals and the NASA admitted smart dust along with LIDAR technologies to apparently track us individually in real time via inhaled / absorbed nanoparticles. With Gates funding experiments to drop aerosolized vaccines from planes / drones and the desire to depopulate, we can only speculate about the rest. Its my understand glyphosate was designed or discovered a long time ago to be a strong chelator sequesters minerals and trace metals all life forms need to function on the basic cellular level. It also disrupts the physiology of organisms in other ways. Just the tip of the ice berg in terms of cumulative toxins. And we definitely have to watch out for the coming explosive use of precision genetic engineering which makes the old GMOs look like something out of the Dark Ages. Its all so seductive, I dont think most people can see that. You are right. GMOs are a major problem beyond glyphosate. What everyone should know it that there has been a long history of ignoring and suppressing the real dangers of GMO foods. One of the earliest cases is the tryptophan disaster of 1989 in which the FDA ignored the warnings of their own scientists about the true risks of GMOs to protect the interests of the GMO business that they had been colluding with for decades (google L-Tryptophan: The Truth About The FDA Tryptophan Recall Of 1989). The big benefits from GMO go to the corrupt GE industry and their associated profiteering scientists and government pawns such as the FDA but surely not to the public. The government-biotech industry cartel has the average person believing that theyre protecting their health. Yet, lying about real facts, denying real facts, or minimizing or ignoring real facts is not protecting or helping the public, its deceiving the public. That cartel also pays online trolls to denounce anti-gmo commentators and spread the corporate GMO hype. Thank you, Sharon. Youre sweet, fascinating, funny, and very wise. Big hugs back!! Its such a relief to come across people like you, totally authentic and burning those brush fires definitely not asleep at the wheel! BTW, its Miss Blue. Somewhere in the thread I mentioned my hubby. I keep running into women online with lots of courage and great intuition. We need you to use your talents to create a functional landscape with the lure of Stonehenge to draw in all of the great women out there to unite and start forging new paths. Imagine that! Ill keep an eye out for your comments. You take care and Ill continue to keep my ear to the ground. Best of luck with your projects!! I love these moments!! I DID think why am I assuming blue is a guy? I also have been considered a guy by my stormy moniker. Amazing to reread your comments rethinking gender? Why should that make a difference? You take care as well, BlueI shall definitely be following you!! huggs! Thats OK, ya know I got used to writing medical science communiqus, papers, reports, etc. in a gender neutral tone. Theres something about being super analytical that brings up images of Spock! LOL Im told I resemble Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger), so hopefully a bit cuddlier than Leonard Nimoy. Ha! See ya around. I vote blue579 gets her own site. Otherwise, make sure you read her commentsincredible information and well, well written. I am so impressed! Glad to have found her!! 
1	When 18-year-old Anthony Washington first walked into Hurricane Palmieri's Gym he knew only one way of life: using his fists on the streets. But now, thanks to his involvement in this inner-city youth boxing program, he has a new sense of purpose that comes from pummeling others head-to-head in the ring. Palmieri, who has trained countless boxing champions, says there are no winners in unorganized street violence. 'What Palmieri taught me is that we don't have to rely on our guns or our knives,' said Washington, hitting a heavy bag. 'Our fists can be lethal weapons, too.' For six years, gym owner Ralph Palmieri has been turning young people caught up in the violence of Brooklyn's rough-and-tumble East New York neighborhood into disciplined, trained fighters. 'Kids need to see that they don't have to give in to the status-driven gang hierarchy by punching each other bloody for no good reason,' said 65-year-old Palmieri. 'Here, they learn to believe in their own ability to deliver a barrage of well-timed hooks and powerful uppercuts, until they knock their opponent unconscious in an organized tournament.' Palmieri said he's following in the footsteps of his late father, Dominic 'Hurricane' Palmieri, who was tired of watching young men throwing their lives away with senseless violence in the streets, and wanted them to see what they're really made of over nine minutes of violence in the ring. According to Palmieri, the thing he's most proud of, beyond showing his kids how to cause the most damage to an opponent, is teaching them, often for the first time in their young lives, how to take care of themselves. Palmieri, who has trained countless boxing champions, says there are no winners in unorganized street violence. 'Our guys can stitch up an inch-deep gash or reset a broken nose faster than anybody,' Palmieri said. 'You'd be amazed how many young people never knew they had to ice their hands after an hour and a half of pounding on someone else's face.' East New York High School junior Jamal Strothers, who used to regularly come home covered with scrapes and bruises, said the three days a week he spends at Hurricane's has taught him discipline. 'I would get into wild fights all the time, trying to punch anything that moved, but I've learned that it doesn't have to be that way,' Strothers said. 'Now I wait for the right moment and exploit my opponent's weakness, over and over and over, until the ref has to call the fight.' The boy's mother, Florence Strothers, said she's thrilled her son will appear next month on the undercard in a night of fights organized by Palmieri, nothing he has gotten away from 'dangerous and shady characters' on the street who only use him to make them money. 'I can finally sleep soundly at night, knowing my son is in safe hands,' she said. 'Young black men need to see that violence is not the only way, that they can follow in the footsteps of heroes like Mike Tyson.' 'We'll all be all praying for a first-round KO,' she added. Palmieri says several 'very eager' Las Vegas-based scouts will visit Hurricane Palmieri's in the coming weeks. 'Just picturing one of my boys, totally exhausted, covered in sweat and blood under those bright lightsit gives me chills,' Palmieri said. 'Let's be real, most of these kids will never go pro. But every one of them will gain valuable punching skills they'll need to get them through the rest of their lives.' Palmieri says that if he can change one kid's mind about when to turn down a fight, he's done his job. 'I don't want them to see people from other schools, gangs, or neighborhoods as enemies to clobber on till they're black and blue,' he said. 'I want them to see them as opponents to defeat in the ring with a relentless flurry of jabs, counters, and body blows that leave them out cold on the mat.' 
3	Executive Order Accelerates Mandatory HIV Testing For All CitizensThe HIV Care Continuum Initiative claims responsibility for recent successes in the study of HIV but says further Federal action is appropriate in response to these new developments. The Administration says mandatory testing is warranted because early detection is helpful to fighting HIV and, according to the executive order, twenty percent of people with HIV remain undiagnosed. It doesnt directly say that all citizens will be rounded up and forced to get HIV tests, rather that clinics will be required to test for HIV as part of routine testing. Read the full Executive Order HIV Care Continuum Initiative below: ACCELERATING IMPROVEMENTS IN HIV PREVENTION AND CARE IN THE UNITED STATES THROUGH THE HIV CARE CONTINUUM INITIATIVE By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to further strengthen the capacity of the Federal Government to effectively respond to the ongoing domestic HIV epidemic, it is hereby ordered as follows: Section 1. Policy. Addressing the domestic HIV epidemic is a priority of my Administration. In 2010, the White House released the first comprehensive National HIV/AIDS Strategy (Strategy), setting quantitative goals for reducing new HIV infections, improving health outcomes for people living with HIV, and reducing HIV-related health disparities. The Strategy will continue to serve as the blueprint for our national response to the domestic epidemic. It has increased coordination, collaboration, and accountability across executive departments and agencies (agencies) with regard to addressing the epidemic. It has also focused our Nations collective efforts on increasing the use of evidence-based approaches to prevention and care among populations and in regions where HIV is most concentrated. Since the release of the Strategy, additional scientific discoveries have greatly enhanced our understanding of how to prevent and treat HIV. Accordingly, further Federal action is appropriate in response to these new developments. For example, a breakthrough research trial supported by the National Institutes of Health showed that initiating HIV treatment when the immune system was relatively healthy reduced HIV transmission by 96 percent. In addition, evidence suggests that early treatment may reduce HIV-related complications. These findings highlight the importance of prompt HIV diagnosis, and because of recent advances in HIV testing technology, HIV can be detected sooner and more rapidly than ever before. Based on these and other data, recommendations for HIV testing and treatment have changed. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force now recommends that clinicians screen all individuals ages 15 to 65 years for HIV, and the Department of Health and Human Services Guidelines for Use of Antiretroviral Agents now recommends offering treatment to all adolescents and adults diagnosed with HIV. Furthermore, ongoing implementation of the Affordable Care Act provides a historic opportunity for Americans to access affordable, quality health care. The Act is expanding access to recommended preventive services with no out-of-pocket costs, including HIV testing, and, beginning in 2014, insurancecompanies will not be able to deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions, including HIV. Starting October 1, 2013, Americans can select the coverage that best suits them through the new Health Insurance Marketplace, and coverage will begin January 1, 2014. Despite progress in combating HIV, important work remains. Since the publication of the Strategy, data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that there are significant gaps along the HIV care continuum the sequential stages of care from being diagnosed to receiving optimal treatment. Nearly one-fifth of the estimated 1.1 million people living with HIV in the United States are undiagnosed; one-third are not linked to medical care; nearly two-thirds are not engaged in ongoing care; and only one-quarter have the virus effectively controlled, which is necessary to maintain long-term health and reduce risk of transmission to others. In light of these data, we must further clarify and focus our national efforts to prevent and treat HIV infection. It is the policy of my Administration that agencies implementing the Strategy prioritize addressing the continuum of HIV care, including by accelerating efforts to increase HIV testing, services, and treatment along the continuum. This acceleration will enable us to meet the goals of the Strategy and move closer to an AIDS-free generation. Sec. 2. Establishment of the HIV Care Continuum Initiative. There is established the HIV Care Continuum Initiative (Initiative), to be overseen by the Director of the Office of National AIDS Policy. The Initiative will mobilize and coordinate Federal efforts in response to recent advances regarding how to prevent and treat HIV infection. The Initiative will support further integration of HIV prevention and care efforts; promote expansion of successful HIV testing and service delivery models; encourage innovative approaches to addressing barriers to accessing testing and treatment; and ensure that Federal resources are appropriately focused on implementing evidence-based interventions that improve outcomes along the HIV care continuum. Sec. 3. Establishment of the HIV Care Continuum Working Group. There is established the HIV Care Continuum Working Group (Working Group) to support the Initiative. The Working Group shall coordinate Federal efforts to improve outcomes nationally across the HIV care continuum. (a) Membership. The Working Group shall be co-chaired by the Director of the Office of National AIDS Policy and the Secretary of Health and Human Services or designee (Co-Chairs).

Please Send Them Your Prayers According to recent reports, Fox News has just announced that one of their Arizona-based anchors was just involved in a serious car crash. Police in Phoenix are investigating a rollover crash that took place on Thursday morning. The accident, involving Rick DAmico, left one woman in the trauma center. Reports indicate that the crash happened just before 6 a.m., when a westbound vehicle swerved into the eastbound lane, colliding with two vehicles before ultimately flipping over. The woman driving the out of control vehicle was 27 years old. She was rushed to a trauma center shortly thereafter, in what is being reported as serious condition. Officials are now trying to determine whether she was impaired at the time of the accident. Both of the drivers of the remaining vehicles were in stable condition and declined medical attention. DAmico took to social media to announce that he hopes to return to work as soon as possible. This is scary. Keep DAmico in your thoughts. 
3	Woman Defends Property Against Smart Meter Invasionselfnews Post Thelma and her husband demonstrate in the video below that they have educated themselves about the dangers of Smart Meters to their privacy; so much so that they have formed their own local opposition group to ban Texas Smart Meters. It has been revealed that Smart Meters have the capability to wirelessly monitor a full range of personal data, and can be equipped with an automatic shut off. (Source) The Taorminas also allude to the mounting evidence that these meters are a major health concern, as indicated by a recent warning issued by a major physicians group. Between health and privacy concerns, plus the fact that Smart Meters are an economic and environmental scam, homeowners have every right to defend against Smart Meter slavery in the strongest way possible. If it takes exercising ones Second Amendment to protect the Fourth from an out-of-control corporate government hellbent on imposing themselves upon free citizens of a Constitutional Republic, despite repeated verbal demands, then so be it. Thankfully, this incident did not take a turn for the worse, and at least one minion has been put on notice in the most definitive way possible to be very careful where they tread.

2	Alabama Supreme Court Makes Pivotal Ruling, Making Gay Marriage Illegal We all thought the gay marriage controversy was well in the past. However, Chief Justice Roy Moore of the Alabama Supreme Court issued an administrative order telling courts that they cant issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Because of the confusion of the case of Obergefell vs. Hodges, Moore felt that the adminstative order was necessary. Many probate judges are issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples in accordance with Obergefell; others are issuing marriage licenses only to couples of the opposite gender or have ceased issuing all marriage licenses, Moore said. Until further decision by the Alabama Supreme Court, the existing orders of the Alabama Supreme Court that Alabama probate judges have a ministerial duty not to issue any marriage license contrary to the Alabama Sanctity of Marriage Amendment or the Alabama Marriage Protection Act remain in full force and effect, Moore wrote. This is bound to receive loads of controversy. Well see how it pans out. Do you think marriage should be only for man and woman?

It isnt about gender, she commented, and then continued with an answer that may surprise you. She said that we need a president who is not afraid to push for what is right. Sounds like a Trump supporter, doesnt it?

1	NEW YORKTwo years ago, Manhattan married couple Ron Garver and Becky Meyers weren't sure they were cut out for parenting. They worked long hours, had a thriving social life, and their East Village apartment was small and cramped. But 24 months and 73 outfits later, Garver and Meyers are the proud parents of a 10-month-old dress-up doll. Garver and Meyers display their child. 'I didn't think I was ready for a baby,' Meyers said Monday. 'In my mind, Ron and I were too irresponsible. But next thing you know, I'm pregnant and we're buying sundresses, headbands, little Converse sneakersyou know, I was doing all the important things you need to do in preparation for a baby.' Meyers said she began to read everything she could get her hands on, from catalogs to articles on nursery decorating. 'I was so relieved when our little girl arrived in perfect health,' Meyers said. 'It's almost impossible to find cute outfits for preemies.' Since their baby's birth, Garver, a staff writer for New York magazine, and Meyers, who works in acquisitions at a small film company, have spent nearly 30 percent of their income on baby clothes. 'We don't just buy anything, though,' Garver said. 'It has to be something that's missing from her wardrobe. Last week, I got Daddy's little girl a little Knicks jersey to wear to the games. Everyone thinks it's adorable. She's already been on the Jumbotron!' Garver said his daughter is not always in an athletic mood. 'Did you know they sell Clash shirts for babies?' Garver said. 'Everyone at work gets such a kick out of my little punk!' After Meyers gave birth to the baby, she said she had to adjust to the 'full-time job' of primping their child for display. 'For a while, we never got any sleep!' Meyers said. 'She'd wake up in the middle of the night, and we'd have to get up, take her out of her sleeper, put her in her breakfast PJs, and feed her. Sometimes, I barely had the energy to plan her outfits for the next day.' 'Having a child is a lot of work,' Meyers added. 'Coming up with the idea to dress your baby like a farmer, a police officer, or even a little sunflower is difficult enough on its own. But if she's sleepy or fussy, it can take a half an hour to dress her. Still, when you hear the coos of the neighbors who see her in the Baby Jogger, it's all worth it.' Meyers and Garver's child photographed throughout the day Monday. Garver and Meyers have discovered many unexpected responsibilities, such as making sure that their daughter is bundled up in an adorable snowsuit when it's cold. 'Every trip outside requires a hundred decisions,' Meyers said. 'Should she wear her bear coat or her cute red-velvet Santa jacket? Is today a bunny-ears kind of a day, or does it feel like more of a plaid-wool-cap morning? Sometimes, if our social calendar requires it, we have to pull together three or four outfits in a single day.' The baby does not always wear special outfits, however. 'If we're spending the night in, she might just lounge around in a Nike sweatsuit, some grubby old T-shirt from two months ago, and one of those sweaters Grandma sent,' Garver said. Garver and Meyers said they had to make some sacrifices after they became parents. 'We've had to make some changes in order to save money,' Meyers said. 'But we've learned to rely on accessories to freshen up a look. And we keep an eye out for sales. It takes a bit more time than just heading to Macy's, but we've scored some really great little sunglasses and backpacks. Nothing is too much for our little doll.' Even though she spends a great deal of time shopping for her baby, Meyers said she believes that the best gift she can give her daughter is her time and attention. 'Just last week, I thought, 'Wouldn't it be cute if I took a picture of her on the phone?'' Meyers said. 'I spent an hour figuring out how to strap her hand to the telephone. Then, I had to make it look like she was talking by giving her a little baby food to chew on. If you snapped the photo at the right moment, it totally looked like she was talking on the phone. My sister told me I was crazy, but I said 'You just wait until you see the photo!'' Garver and Meyers said that, in spite of the financial and social sacrifices they have had to make, they have 'never once regretted the decision to keep the baby.' 'This isn't about Becky and me,' Garver said. 'This is about building our child's self-esteem, because we love her. Which reminds me, we're really looking forward to Valentine's Day. We found an adorable pink dress with little wings on the back for our little Cupid. How can she not be happy with all the attention everyone will give her? Plus, her hair's finally growing in, so we can stop using the hats. She never seemed to like those.' 
2	FBI Goes After Judge Pirro After She UNLOADS On Live TV About The Hillary Case [VIDEO] On a recent episode of Hannity, Judge Jeanine Pirro relentlessly criticized FBI Director James Comey for recommending that no charges be pressed against Hillary Clinton. According to Pirro, the director has destroyed the reputation of his agency. This is a dark day for criminal justice, Pirro argued. This is a dark day for the Department of Justice and the FBI. Theres a lot of good people in those departments. He has destroyed that reputation. Pirro also commented that their would normally be administrative sanctions for someone who made the same mistakes as Clinton did in this whole fiasco. If she were to be president of the United States, hasnt she already proven that she cannot be trusted with this information? Pirro asked. Shouldnt she lose any security clearance that she has? She disagreed with Comey strongly, claiming that his argument that no reasonable prosecutor would bring a case against Clinton is false. Jim, youre wrong, Pirro concluded. I respect you, but youre wrong. What do you think of Pirros comments? Do you agree? 
1	Noting that their store was the only game in town for the poor bastards stopping in, employees at the St. Margaret Hospital gift shop told reporters Tuesday they figured they could easily soak customers for 30 bucks a pop on the Im Thinking Of You teddy bears. Look, theyre going up to the trauma center, theyve already paid for parkingits going to be no trouble at all to bleed these saps of at least three 10-spots for one of these things, maybe more, said manager Marissa Lutz of the shops supply of 12-inch-tall plush bears holding embroidered pillows, adding that she could probably tack on another 15 bones for a Mylar balloon reading Feel Better if the customer was heading to the pediatric unit. Theyre already here; no way theyre gonna get back in their car and drive a half hour to Target. Hell, at this point we could probably shake down some real sorry fucks on the religious sympathy cards, throw in a bag of bottom-rung jelly beans, and really take these chumps for a ride. What are they gonna do about it? At press time, Lutz could be seen contemplating how much sweet green she could wring out of a woman entering the store in tears for the second time this week. 
1	A palpable sense of relief came over passengers on the westbound D-line bus Monday when someone else struck up a conversation with 53-year-old cerebral-palsy sufferer Sharon Bellacosa. 'Boy, that was a close one,' said rider Jon Neidhardt, 28, who was sitting next to Bellacosa. 'For a second there, I was terrified she'd ask me if I knew how much farther her stop was in that slow, slurred voice and then try to segue it into a friendly chat with me. Luckily, the guy sitting across from her was willing to sacrifice himself for the good of the rest of us and talk to her.' Neidhardt said that, despite not having to talk to the disabled woman, he became tense while listening to her loud conversation and did not relax fully until she got off the bus. 
2	Why No One Respects Obama Summed Up With 4 Brutal Pictures President Obama made some outrageously stupid comments this Monday during an interview with news station WMUR. According to reports, Obama had the nerve to claim that Donald Trump lacks the qualities needed to be an effective president. I think that Trump is not somebody who, even within the Republican Party, can be considered quipped to deal with the problems of this office, he commented. That is an ironic statement, given that world leaders have been saying the same thing about Obama for some time now. One cannot deny and must also accept and acknowledge that Obama was a man who had only run the Harvard Law Review for a short time, was an Illinois state senator with no considerable accomplishments, and was only a two year US senator with no considerable accomplishment, Breitbart wrote in 2012. He was totally unqualified to tackle the very serious challenges our country face with regards to the economy, or anything else for that matter. In fact, Obama was only elected because of his promise to instill hope and change in this countryof which he has accomplished neither. The difference here is that Trump has a solid history of success in business and has been negotiating relationships for a very long time. What do you think of Obamas claims? 
2	What Sarah Palin Just Said To Jesse Ventura Left Him Stunned And Shocked Americans around the country have been disgusted with Jesse Ventura, the former Minnesota governor, who just received $1.8 million in a judgment against deceased Navy SEAL Chris Kyle in defamation lawsuit. The money was essentially taken from Kyles widow and family. The judgment ruled in Venturas favor, ruling that Kyle had irreparably damaged his reputation. The claims stem from Kyles book, which described how he had taken down Ventura in a bar fight, after Ventura made some very offensive anti-military comments. Ventura argued that the claims were false, and exaggerated. Now former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttreel is responding to the judgment, posting a series of memes attacking Ventura for stealing funds from the widow. Sarah Palin, notoriously vocal, has also been speaking out against the ruling, calling Ventura a scumbag. Palin also observed that Venturas recent actions did more to damage his own reputation than Kyle ever did. Chris Kyle was a true American patriot the soldier who stood up for his country and saved so many lives by doing the job his Commander-in-chief gave him, taking out the bad guys, Paling claimed. His widow and young children will forever feel a lot more hurt than you will, Jesse, after a sad verdict in your ridiculous lawsuit against Chris. You went after the bereaved family, whining that you, a public figure, were defamed in Chriss book, American Sniper, even though Chris never wrote your name in the book. Since when are public figures immune from hearing something we dont like, anyway? Chris always stood up for every American. Now were standing up for him. What do you think? Do you agree with Sarahs comments? 
2	Town Puts Up God Bless America Banner After Atheists Criticism According to recent reports, one community in the Midwest has decided to take a stand after an atheist organization targeted a God Bless America poster hanging in a local post office. The Freedom from Religion Foundation were outraged when they saw the banner, which was hung just after the September 11 attacks. The group filed a lawsuit, forcing the banner to be taken down in late January. It had been hanging for 15 years. When the community caught word of the controversy, a local business called Jakes Fireworks decided to print 1,200 God Bless America yard signs and more than 300 banners. All of the signs were distributed to the community within 45 minutes. Were among the majority that didnt agree with the decision to take the sign down, retail sales director Jason Marietta told local reporters. Sen. Jerry Moran weighed in on the issue as well, claiming that the Constitution guarantees freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. It is outrageous that some would aim to divide a community over a banner that has been proudly displayed since Sept. 11, 2001, Moran wrote on his Facebook account. I commend the Pittsburg community for rejecting this decision and I stand with them. What do you think? Do you support the community for taking a stand? 
1	Determined to reduce their devastating impact on the local community, the NYPD announced a new amnesty program Wednesday permitting New Yorkers to dispose of their DVDs anonymously and without consequence. Over the next week, any DVDfrom teen horror flicks, to superhero sequels, to two-disc directors cutscan be taken to your local police precinct or any of the designated drop-off locations throughout the city, and we will take it off your hands, no questions asked, Police Commissioner William Bratton told reporters, noting that in its first few hours, the department had already taken several hundred copies of The Lake House off the streets. We dont need to know how you got a copy of Wild Wild West, or how many times youve watched The Chronicles Of Riddick; just leave them with us and well make sure no one ever uses them again. The NYPD program comes on the heels of a successful buyback initiative in Philadelphia, which hasnt reported a single incidence of Patch Adams since March. 
2	Muslims Demand Texas Pig Farmer Move So They Can Build A Mosque, He Does THIS Instead Recently, when a group of Muslims purchased land to open a mosque, they did not realize that they had parked themselves right next to a Texas pig farmer. Instead of simply looking the other way, the new Muslim landowner had the nerve to ask Craig Baker to leave. The Muslim community is notorious in their hatred of pigs, and is not allowed to consume it in any form. In an effort to cleanse the land the new property asked Baker to pack up and leave. Of course, Baker did not take that lightly. Instead of vacating, he decided to take things to a new level. He started holding pig races every Friday during the same time as his neighbors afternoon prayer. 
2	Trumps Attorney General Comes Forward With Huge Announcement About Hillary Clinton During his first confirmation hearing this week, Donald Trumps new attorney general Jeff Sessions confirmed he would not be pursuing charges against Hillary Clinton. When asked by Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley about what he would do as head of the Justice Department, Session said his person opinions would conflict with the DOJs demand for objectivity. I, like a lot of people, made comments on the issues in that campaign with regard to Secretary Clinton and some of the comments I made, I do believe, that could place my objectivity in question, Sessions responded. Ive given that thought. I believe the proper thing for me to do would be to recuse myself from any questions involving those kinds of investigations that involve Secretary Clinton that were raised during the campaignor could otherwise be connect to it. Grassley didnt let Sessions off the hook without further interrogation. When you say youll recuse, you mean that youll actually recuse and the decision will therefore fall to, I assume, a deputy attorney general, Grassley pushed. I asked because after Attorney General Lynch met with President Clinton in Phoenix, she said she would quote unquote defer to the FBI, but she never officially recused. Sessions was quick to note that he would not have acted the way Lynch did. Theres a procedure for that, which I would follow, he concluded. And I believe that would be the correctbest approach for the country because we can never have a political dispute turn into a criminal disputethats not in any waythat would suggest anything other than absolute objectivity. This country does not punish its political enemies, but this country ensures that no one is above the law. What do you think? Is Sessions doing the right thing or should he take Clinton down once and for all? 
3	10 Tools Needed By Globalists To Finally Get Their One World GovernmentBy Bernie Suarez Understanding the necessary tools the controllers need and are currently using to meet their goals might allow us to figure out where we should focus our energy; and it may show us what things we might be able to do to slow down, derail or even stop their new world order plans altogether. So here are ten powerful tools being used by the controllers, ten tools without which there will be no new world order. 1 Global warming/Climate change psyop It is becoming abundantly clear. No global warming means no new world order, no Agenda 21, no global carbon tax, no usurping of local and states rights in favor of global agendas, no domination over the individual and no micromanaging of the individuals energy expenditure for the sake of the planet and a sustainable earth. Few topics are as important to the new world order plans as the global warming hoax/climate change religion. For this reason, the global warming hoax has become completely immune to logic, science, reason and truth and instead marches right along from ignoring the facts, to name calling to direct control of climate legislation while the paid politicians insist the science is settled. No one should be surprised by the locked-in ignorant and stubborn mindset of this movement. This was a big issue to the eugenics control freaks many decades ago, they put a lot of work into ensuring long-term success, and we are now seeing the result of this long-term effort. 2 Government scientific consensus Without government pseudo-science, the globalists recent plans would have fallen apart long ago. Lets face it, almost every day now were hearing about a study that proves yet another government narrative. These coincidences happen because government scientists are not interested in the true results and scientific correlations. Truth does not make money; in fact, its a money loser. Conclusions that support government agendas on the other hand do make a lot of money. For this reason science has been hijacked by government for political agendas. In place right now are numerous prominent scientific journals all waiting to publish whatever studies support the new world order agenda. The sooner people realize that the science has been taken over, the sooner this important new world order tool can be taken away from them. Without this powerful weapon, the globalists would lose their ability to push all the medical, food related, environmental and chemical related studies on the masses. This would immediately pose a threat to large pharmaceutical companies, vaccine makers and many other drug-related companies. This is a topic increasingly inseparable from the climate change/global warming fraud. Geoengineering is very real and a lot of things are at stake if the globalists had to give up this issue. For this reason dont expect geoengineering of the skies to end anytime soon; and they wont admit theyre doing it until theyve secured a good excuse for doing it. That excuse will be global warming. They need these programs fully running to get their new world order. The plans are central to controlling the weather, manipulating the environment for political and financial gain and engineering drought to control food and water supply, thus controlling population among other reasons. The globalist controllers are saving geoengineering so they can roll it out as the solution to global warming. This very likely was the plan all along. The process goes something like this Problem: Global warming Reaction: to emotional stimulators like the polar bears, ice capsule melting, human extinction stories Solution: Spray the planet with metal particles every day. The recent Mosul-style takeover of Ramadi in Iraq by ISIS is another example of how ISIS, who gets exclusive image-glorifying public relations from the U.S. mainstream media, is portrayed as an invisible, lucky, superior fighting force who can only be stopped using tactics that move the PNAC plans forward. In a recent TV appearance endorsing the ISIS psyop, CIA front mouthpiece Colonel Anthony Shaffer stuttered his way through an interview explaining exactly how ISIS conveniently took over Ramadi with striking coincidence due to sandstorm issues. He also then explains how ISIS is now crawling all over Afghanistan and needs to be stopped there, too. Lets see Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan isnt it convenient how ISIS only shows up in PNAC-approved countries where the U.S. needs to expand their occupation and/or lost influence? Shaffer also rambles on telling you what ISIS is thinking, detailing their victories (problem, reaction) then telling us how the solution is with selecting WHO gets to fight ISIS, that being ONLY the Kurds. Shaffer declares that Iraq and the Iraqi army is gone. The idea of having a sovereign official Army (whether Iraqi, Iranian or any other) seems to be a big threat to the globalist plans. Lets not forget the global ISIS super fighting machine recently was said to be in Mexico and showing up in Texas and California in information gathered via chatter. This is just another reminder of the super human powers ISIS has, just in case anyone has forgotten. Fact is that ISIS is the perfect tool to advance literally every single component of the new world order plans. They are a huge ace in the hole for the globalists to be used throughout the Middle East and domestically with the help of Intelligence-Mainstream media coordinated reports to keep the domestic threat of terror alive in the minds of the masses, thus justifying the police state and more surveillance and tyranny, all the while CIAs and Mossads ISIS cruise on right along helping nail down the PNAC plans for the Zionists and Western U.S. NATO alliance. All global trade agreements are quietly looming in the background as critical components of the new world order. The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement for one (and other similar agreements) are all top-secret global corporate agreements that transcend and undermine sovereign governments and impose their will on the individual, and they are powerful tools for the new world order plans. Is anyone not seeing this? When its all said and done the controllers wish to forcibly impose secret business-to-government agreements on the useless eaters and once and for all throw the Constitution and national sovereignty in the trash can where they feel it belongs. Theyve been working on this for some time and they will continue hammering away at this until it happens. Like the constantly morphing anti-Internet freedom legislation (SOPA and CISPA) TPP will, if necessary, reappear and reshape itself in many ways until they can find a way of ramming it into legislation. The other thing about these trade agreements is that they will relate to Internet censorship and many other issues. 6 Debt-based dollar fraud Another huge ongoing fraud critical to the one world government enslavement system is the money system itself. Think of how quickly globalist plans would fall apart if everyone realized how money works. Most people have no idea that the U.S. dollar is nothing more than an IOU. They have no idea how the Federal Reserve came into being and they have no clue that the Federal Reserve is a private corporation with no authority whatsoever to print money on behalf of the United States government. The entire debt-based dollar system is based on lies, fraud, and deceit. Due to this hidden knowledge about money, people feel threatened when they begin to research it or call it out for what it is possibly the greatest fraud perpetrated on the American people. 7 Lobbyist-to-law cycle Everyone should be aware of how money from large corporations and individuals goes to paying lobbyists who then make sure the politicians go along with the wishes of the person (who is funding the lobbyist). This simple cycle of money corruption speaks for itself and should be enough to wake up Americans to say no once and for all to political corruption and start taking back their voices. This lobbyist-to-law cycle not only ensures that the laws that get passed are laws representing the wishes of the lobbyists, but even more importantly it ensures that the average American has no voice whatsoever. Without this important corrupt cycle in place too many morally sound and justified laws representing the will of the people would get through. Then, before you know it, the globalist new world order plans would begin to burn out by necessity. For this reason the lobbyist-to-law cycle remains a key component for achieving the new world order plans. The ongoing Left-Right paradigm is another quiet ace in the hole. Its the large part of the script upon which the globalist success depends. Thats right, voter ignorance is actually driving the new world order plans. Millions of Americans still follow Hillary, Jeb Bush, Rand Paul and the rest of the bought-out political stooges whose loyalties are to the companies putting money in their pockets. Sadly, millions of Americans did not learn their lesson from the Bush and Obama years which fit each other perfectly. Despite the clear continuity of lies, war expansion, false flags, and loss of liberties between the last two criminal administrations, its difficult to imagine that anyone actually believes there is a difference between Left and Right, Democrats and Republicans. Without the ability of the control system to maintain the illusion of choice between two parties which serve the exact same master, the new world order control plans would fall apart overnight. Information is everything. No CIA-controlled mainstream media means no support of any wars by Americans. No one would believe any false flags, and all political stories would fall on deaf ears. Human consciousness would thrive. A life without mainstream media would warrant a topic of its own. Suffice to say, CIAs mainstream media is potentially the lifeline of the entire new world order and future control of all humanity. It is the very matrix by which the globalists exert their influence, deception and control over humanity. It is the radio signal feeding your brain the next episode of mind control, the next psyop, the next lie. The history of media and its use as a mind control tool is well established, and for that reason mainstream mass media is another must-have tool for the advancement of the globalist new world order plans. Unfortunately for them, less and less people today are watching TV so they are being forced to keep up with the times by broadening their reach with other technologies. 10 Entertainment distraction Finally, none of the above would ever come to pass were it not for the forever valuable, forever reliable (if you are the globalists) entertainment distraction. Thats right, if you remove entertainment the control system would be overwhelmed with opposition. Too many people would be awakened acts of kindness not seen on TV might abound. People might actually have enough time to research things, to care, to educate themselves. The globalists have stated that a well educated critical thinking public is a threat to their plan. This last super important tool ensures that everything goes as planned, for now. Solutions Lets make a mental note of these critically important tools without which there will be no new world order. Thankfully, all of this information is known to many who are awakened. This information is spreading, and when enough people get together and act the game will be over for the globalists. Watch the news stories every day and see how they are using and feeding into these 10 tools every day. Thats because they need these tools for survival. Thats right. To the globalist controllers these 10 tools are a matter of life and death. So lets keep pushing to expose these critical issues because, to truth seekers, stopping these globalist tools is also a matter of life and death. 
1	U.S. military-intelligence officials operating deep within Iraqi territory confirmed Monday that Saddam Hussein has developed a devastating weapon of mass destruction powered by the cuteness of babies. baby Pentagon sources report that Saddam Hussein's terrifying new infant-powered weapon is 'fully operational.' According to Gen. William MacAlester, the weapon, which has been observed by U.S. surveillance satellites positioned over Iraq, collects 'adorability rays' given off by pink, gurgling newborns and converts them into an experimental, highly unstable isotope known as Cutium-109, which is then sped up in a zero-pressure chamber, setting off a chain reaction with a destructive force 20,000 times more powerful than the blast at Hiroshima. MacAlester said that the cuteness is harnessed by loading 4,700 adorable babies wrapped in fuzzy pink blankets into the weapon's cuteness-conversion chamber, where the newborns are suffocated, decapitated and mashed into a thin liquid paste, which is then superheated to 30,000 degrees. 'The United States has long known that such technology exists, but never considered developing it because of its obviously immoral and unethical nature,' MacAlester said. 'Our great fear was that, eventually, some madman would come along who had no qualms about using such a terrible device. That day has come.' 
3	The Dark Side of Cloud Computing (w/Infographic)selfnews Post Despite assurances with each new tech release that the current security is impenetrable, it is instead shown to be populated with surveillance backdoors, and riddled with holes that average hackers can easily exploit. Co-founder of Apple, Steve Wozniak, has gone on record to state that Cloud storage is also compromised. Cloud storage has been sold as a secure way to back up your information online, so as not to fall prey to the inevitable failure of directly connected devices such as a local hard drive. It is also a convenient way to store data where access is available anywhere you travel. The Cloud storage boom has not only been in the consumer realm. As you will see in the Infographic below sourced from leading tech sites, Cloud storage is now the dominant choice for the worlds largest businesses. The graphic examines the history of Cloud storage, the outages, and other areas that highlight the darker side of this method of storage which need to be considered in our era of bigger and bigger Big Data.

3	Vermont Committee Passes Bill to Legalize MarijuanaBy Mike Maharrey Sen. Jeanette K. White (D-Windham) and Sen. Joe Benning (R-Caledonia) officially introduced Senate Bill 241 (S.241) on Jan. 5. The Senate Committee on Judiciary significantly amended the original bill and then passed it, issuing a favorable report. Under the proposed law, individuals 21 and older could legally possess up to one ounce of marijuana. Possession of amounts greater than one ounce would remain a criminal offense subject to existing penalties. The legislation would also set up a structure to license and regulate retail marijuana outlets. These stores would be allowed to legally sell up to once ounce of marijuana to any person over the age of 21. S.241 enhances penalties for supplying marijuana to persons under 21 and also creates and funds a drug prevention program for youth. The proposed law essentially treats marijuana similar to alcohol. If S.241 becomes law Vermont would become the first state to legalize recreational marijuana through the state legislature rather than the ballot initiative process.Gov. Peter Schumlin has already announced support for the legislation. The war on drugs has failed when it comes to marijuana prohibition The question for us is how do we deal with that failure. Vermont can take a smarter approach that regulates marijuana in a thoughtful way, and this bill provides a framework for us to do that. EFFECT ON FEDERAL PROHIBITION Passage of S.241 would remove one layer of laws prohibiting the possession, cultivation or use of marijuana, but federal prohibition would remain in place. Of course, the federal government lacks any constitutional authority to ban or regulate marijuana within the borders of a state, despite the opinion of the politically connected lawyers on the Supreme Court. If you doubt this, ask yourself why it took a constitutional amendment to institute federal alcohol prohibition. While the Vermont bill would not alter federal law, it would take a step toward nullifying in effect the federal ban. FBI statistics show that law enforcement makes approximately 99 of 100 marijuana arrests under state, not federal law. By erasing the state laws, the Vermont legislature would essentially sweep away the basis for 99 percent of marijuana arrests. Furthermore, figures indicate it would take 40 percent of the DEAs yearly-budget just to investigate and raid all of the dispensaries in Los Angeles a single city in a single state. That doesnt include the cost of prosecution. The lesson? The feds lack the resources to enforce marijuana prohibition without state assistance. If the state legislature passes S.241, Vermont would join a growing number of states simply ignoring federal prohibition. Colorado, Washington state and Alaska have all legalized both recreational and medical marijuana, and 23 states now allow cannabis for medical use. With nearly half the country legalizing marijuana, the feds find themselves in a position where they simply cant enforce prohibition any more. The feds need state cooperation to fight the drug war, and that has rapidly evaporated in the last few years with state legalization, practically nullifying the ban. The lesson here is pretty straight forward. When enough people say, No! to the federal government, and enough states pass laws backing those people up, theres not much the feds can do to shove their so-called laws, regulations or mandates down our throats, Tenth Amendment Center founder and executive director Michael Boldin said. S.241now moves to the Senate Finance committee, where it needs to pass by a majority vote to move forward. Mike Maharrey writes for the TenthAmendmentCenter.com where this article first appeared. He is the author of the book, Our Last Hope: Rediscovering the Lost Path to Liberty. YAY! the more legalize MJ the better hopefully the entire world will have a hemp reconissance. Clothes to cars and meds to fuel its the perfect plant. BTW: THC is in love w/ our dna. Why pass a half-ass bill to legalize cannabis, which counters the illegal, federal statute ? Simply declare the federal statute null and void in Vermont, and set up state-controlled outlets. Were gradually relegalizing cannabis as a drug, but letting it compete again with cotton and woodpulp isnt on the table in the US. Hemp makes better textiles than cotton at a small fraction of the environmental impact. Cotton strips the soil. Cannabis fixes nitrogen. Hemp makes better paper than wood, with no expensive and toxic delignification, on less land. The drug offers cities and states new sales tax revenue. Fabric and paper, not so much. 
3	Bradley Manning Court-Martial: Secrecy and Injustice on TrialStephen Lendman Secrecy, lawlessness, and contempt for humanity define US policy. Evidence vital to Mannings defense is prohibited. Information refuting charges of aiding the enemy is barred from trial proceedings. Claiming its not relevant or harmful to national security doesnt wash. Excluding it reflects police state justice. On June 3, United States v. Bradley Manning court-martial proceedings began. Pre-trial, Obama pronounced him guilty by accusation. Doing so denies any possibility of judicial fairness. His word is final. We are a nation of laws, he claimed. We dont let individuals make decisions about how the law operates. (Manning) broke the law. No nation spurns inviolable laws more egregiously than America. Obama reflects the worst of US governance. He rules by diktat authority. He does so secretly. Hes waging war on humanity. He does so at home and abroad. With a stroke of his pen he could free Manning. Pronouncing guilt by accusation assures his conviction. Doing so publicly leaves no doubt. The Constitution mandates ALL criminal prosecutions. Pentagon ones arent exempt. Especially high-profile cases like Manning. If convicted, he faces possible life in prison. At issue is convicting him for doing the right thing. Mannings trial proceedings will be secret, not public. Doing so violates constitutional law. It mandates the right to a speedy trial by an impartial jury. Hes denied both. The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) calls for trial within 120 days of restraint and arraignment. The Rule for Court Martial (RCM) 707 mandates the same thing. Its to assure speedy trial proceedings. Mannings been held over three years without trial. Hes been isolated throughout much of it. Doing so violates Eight Amendment protection against cruel and unusual punishments. US statute laws were violated. So was UCMJs Article 13. It prohibits pre-trial confinement conditions any more rigorous than whats minimally needed to ensure the accused appears for court hearings. America should be on trial, not Manning! He revealed war crimes too egregious to be kept secret. He should be honored for doing so. Top culpable civilian and military officials should be held fully accountable. Justice demands no less. Manning faces 22 charges. He pleaded guilty to 10 lesser ones. He denied 12 greater ones. He called war logs given WikiLeaks some of the most important documents of our time. He chose ones he believed wouldnt cause harm to the United States. He hoped a national debate would follow his revelations. Its sorely needed more than ever. Americas obsessed with capturing and killing people, he said. Collateral murder is policy. US helicopter pilots gunned down innocent civilians. They murdered anyone trying to help them. Shooting wounded victims was like a child torturing ants with a magnifying glass, he said. He wanted everyone to know. Its their right. At issue are high crimes of war and against humanity. Theyre too grave to ignore. Mannings charges include 1917 Espionage Act violations. Doing so contradicts the laws intent. It doesnt deter Justice Department or Pentagon officials from using it. It passed shortly after Americas entry into WW I. Over time, its been amended numerous times. Originally it prohibited interfering with US military operations, supporting the nations enemies, promoting insubordination in the ranks, or obstructing military recruitment. In 1921, its most controversial provisions were repealed. In 2010, Manning was wrongfully charged under the Act. Technically its under Articles 104 and 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). It includes parts of the US Code. Colonel Denise Lind is both judge and jury. Official transcripts of proceedings will be kept secret. Weeks earlier, Freedom of the Press Foundation launched a campaign to crowd-fund a court stenographer. Mannings trial will have an enormous impact on press freedom and the rights of future whistleblowers, it said. The government refuses to make its transcripts available to the public. Floyd Abrams is a constitutional law expert. Yochai Benkler is Harvard Law Schools Berkman Professor of Entrepreneurial Legal Studies. In March 2013, their New York Times op-ed headlined Death to Whistle-Blowers? At issue is Mannings trial. If found guilty on serious charges, the prosecution will establish a chilling precedent: national security leaks may subject the leakers to a capital prosecution or at least life imprisonment. Former Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black once said: Whats more destructive than imposing capital penalties or imprisoning heroic whistleblowers for life for doing the right thing. According to Abrams and Benkler, Mannings leaks included important disclosures (and) their publication is protected by the First Amendment no less than the publication of the Pentagon Papers was. Both contributors agreed. WikiLeaks is part of the Fourth Estate. Its right to publish is no less than any other media organization or contributor. Over 350 media sources submitted applications to witness Mannings trial. Only 70 got permission. In other words, those considered safe may do so. Others are prohibited. Claiming space limitations denies others doesnt wash. Proceedings can be held anywhere. According to the Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF): FPF enlisted a reputable court stenographer firm. With permission, its stenographers will work in shifts. Doing so will provide a public record. All media sources will have access. Independent alternative ones are most important. People will learn what otherwise they wont know. On June 1, FPF headlined Crowd-funded Stenographers Denied Press Passes to the Bradley Manning Court Martial. It said three of its media partners were denied them. It remains to be seen if FPFs request discussed above will or wont fare better. Mannings trial will be held at Fort Meade, MD. On June 2,Bradley Manning.org headlined Nearly two thousand rally for Bradley Manning at Ft. Meade. They did so on June 1. Washington charged Manning with indirectly aiding the enemy. Saying so defies reason. It mocks fundamental constitutional rule of law principles. Mannings a political prisoner. Amnesty International (AI) claims otherwise. It refuses to name him a prisoner of conscience. From January 2012 January 2013, former Hillary Clinton aide Suzanne Nossel headed AI USA. Shes an imperial insider. Interim co-executive directors Bob Goodfellow and Frank Jannuzi replaced her. Theyve acted no less irresponsibly than she did. According to Francis Boyle: Amnesty International is primarily motivated not by human rights but by publicity. Second comes money. It relies on corporate foundations and other dubious sources to provide it. Services rendered in return are expected. Conflicts of interest are rife. The Bradley Manning Support Fund is 100% responsible for his legal expenses. Around 20,000 supporters contributed over $1.25 million. David Coombs represents Manning. On June 2, he said: 
3	Tyrannical System Sentences 4-Year-Old Boy to Life in Prison for Alleged Crimes When He Was 1By Andrew Emett Born in September 2012, Ahmed Mansour Karni was swept up in an indictment listing his name along with 115 other defendants accused of participating in riots and demonstrations on January 3, 2014. Despite that fact that Ahmed was only a year and a half old at the time, he was reportedly charged with four counts of murder, eight counts of attempted murder, vandalizing property belonging to the Egyptian Health Administration in his home province of el-Fayoum, threatening soldiers and police officers, and damaging vehicles belonging to security forces. Convicted in absentia, Ahmed was sentenced to life in prison on Tuesday. Although Ahmeds birth certificate was presented to the court, one of his defense attorneys accused the presiding judge of failing to review the case before abruptly passing down a life sentence on a four-year-old child. Lawyer Faisal a-Sayd asserted, The child Ahmed Mansour Karnis birth certificate was presented after state security forces added his name to the list of accused, but then the case was transferred to the military court and the child was sentenced in absentia in an ensuing court hearing. This proves that the judge did not read the case. In response to the absurd life sentence, another Egyptian lawyer, Mohammed Abu Hurira, wrote, On the eve of injustice and madness in Egypt, a four-year-old child was sentenced to life imprisonment. He is accused of disturbance, damage to property and murder. The Egyptian scales of justice are not reversible. There is no justice in Egypt. No reason. Logic committed suicide a while ago. Egypt went crazy. Egypt is ruled by a bunch of lunatics. In June 2014, more than 180 Egyptians were sentenced to death after convicted of participating in a series of violent demonstrations protesting against the ousting of former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi in 2013. Included among the 180 convicts sentenced to death was a blind man named Mustafa Youssef. He was born blind. How would he kill, burn, and loot? asked Mahmoud Abdel-Raziq, Youssefs lawyer. Besides ruthlessly punishing innocent children and blind people, the Egyptian government has become notorious for imprisoning journalists and escalating police brutality in recent years. According to the Nadim Center, a local rights group, 474 deaths occurred in police custody while 700 cases of torture committed by the Egyptian police were reported last year. Human rights lawyer Ragia Omran recently told CNN, Conditions in prisons are extremely poor. If we look at all the reports by independent and national and international human rights organizations on the use of extreme force, violence, torture, violations in prisons and especially in police stations has gone up. The implications of sentencing a blind man to death for participating in a riot and sentencing a four-year-old child to life in prison for outlandish crimes that he could not have physically committed has revealed the staggering flaws in Egypts deteriorating judicial system. Without even bothering to review Ahmeds birth certificate, the court has proven that justice in Egypt is no longer factored into the equation. Andrew Emett is a Los Angeles-based reporter exposing political and corporate corruption. His interests include national security, corporate abuse, and holding government officials accountable. Andrews work has appeared on Raw Story, Alternet, selfnews Post, and many other sites. You can follow him on Twitter @AndrewEmett and on Facebook at Andrew Emett. The article says the Egyptian scales of justice are not reversible. Are they indeed saying that the life sentence of this 4 yo is standing and will stand? Or have they taken common sense and reversed that one? Yes, that is indeed what not reversible means. It would be less unjust to execute the child than leave him in prison and fair game for every predator therein. This IS Islamic Justice, and the liberals cant wait to have it in the United States of America. Why did the US support the violent military takeover of the elected government, and why does it continue to provide billions in military assistance to a brutal military dictatorship, masquerading as a democracy (We had to destroy democracy to protect it, just as in Ukraine)? Business as usual. Oil. Egypt has oil,but its now reserves are very modest: it has 2% of what Venezuela or Saudi Arabia has, ranking 27th, with the same as Ghana or Vietnam. I dont think this was the reasonrather it has to do with the Muslim Brotherhood being independent of the US, an unpermitted sin (committed by Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran,Ukraine, and North Korea). Egypts importance to the US has more to do with strategic geopolitics, its support for Israel and its opposition to the independent nations in the region. The agenda is to politically, financially, socially destabilize Egypt, Africa, the middle east in order to further the UN agenda of one world under one rule and the depopulation agenda next the same processes will be put into play in the EU hence the mass immigration, after that mexico, America, Canada, then all the Asian countries. I have heard that theory. I dont buy it. Greater Israel is the answer. Look it up and what they hope to accomplish in the region. Why dont you buy it? Is it because the likelihood is too horrible to imagine? Most people feel that way because theyre too scared to believe something like this could actually happen to them to all of us. Hello dale ruff, You beat me to it. In Egypt, Washington DC caused the legitimate government to be ousted, and the violent primitive tribesmen took over. AS IN: Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria (but Assad refused to leave), Ukraine, several African counties, several South American countries, and how many others? These shenanigans by Washington DC are going to come around and bite us on the butt. Bill Moore What people dont realize is that this is really being done by the UN and the US government military just happen to be the tools being used to do it. The agenda is to politically, financially, socially destabilize Egypt, Africa, the middle east in order to further the UN agenda of one world under one rule and the depopulation agenda next the same processes will be put into play in the EU hence the mass immigration, after that mexico, America, Canada, then all the Asian countries. (Im forced to respond to a comment you made at amren(article about: Video of teen punching teacher ) here since your moderator has chosen to protect the delicate sensibilities of you race realists and wont let me comment at amren) You said: Africans behave as Africans do, and the only solution is Africans to Africa. Hey Billy, when are you going to give up on that pipe dream? We Africans aint going nowhere. Hello Wally Wally, When the fight starts, the Mexicans will return willingly to Mexico. And the Africans that were given a chance to leave and didnt will be sorry that they didnt take the chance to leave peaceably. Weve had enough of your shenanigans. Bill Moore How delusional can you be??? Even your messiah Donald Donald Trump is not my messiah, or anything else. Hes just starring in his own reality show. I thought he might be on to something at first, but he treats this race for president as if it was a popularity contest. Listen, it doesnt matter what color any of us are. The elite call us all Useless Eaters. Were ALL doomed. Theyre doing all of these crazy things so well be outraged and confused. Confusion will lead to chaos and anarchy, and so on and so forth. Well want to rise up against them, then all they gotta do is nuke us into oblivion. Finito The End. When are yall going to figure out that theyre doing all of these insane things so well be outraged and confused. Confusion will lead to chaos, and so on and so forth. Well want to rise up against them, then all they gotta do is nuke us into oblivion. Finito The End. DEATH TO ISLAM! ARE YOU PEOPLE IN EGYPT INSANE A 4YR. OLD CHILD WHO WAS 2 AT THE TIME OF THE ACTION. THEN ON TOP OF THAT THE CHILD IS BLIND. THIS IS SO WRONG. HE IS ALREADY DISABLED IN THE FACT THAT HE CANT SEE. WHO DOESNT KNOW WHO IS AROUND HIM OR IF HE IS BEING SET UP. WHERE IS THE JUSTICE IN THIS.TELL ME DOES THE CHILD USE A CANE OR A SEEING WYE DOG. TO HELP HIM. HE SHOULD BE GETTING PHYSICAL HELP NOT A DAMN DUNGEON.!!!! Re-read the story. The child isnt blind. Its an old blind man. Different person. Its a mad, mad, mad, mad world. :-/ You have NO idea just how true your comment is and how much worse it IS going to get. This is not an attack. This is actually a High-Five. All of what Europe is going through? Will be here shortly. I certainly hope the current president will commute the sentences and pardon both of the individuals. Besides ruthlessly punishing innocent children and blind people, the Egyptian government has become notorious for imprisoning journalists See? They are not all bad! Or maybe I am wrong in assuming that the journalists in questions arent real journalists but cultural marxist traitors that are aiding the government in commiting genocide on its own population? Thats the bad thing about living in a country like Sweden, since the media doesnt provide you with information and in fact only lie to you, you end up assuming that the rest of the world is like Sweden/North Korea as well. But hey, since all the rest of the sandpeople have moved to Sweden, why not send this 4 year old, at least heunlike 99.9% of the ones here, may actually be innocent and worthy of our aid. This is how some people think the 9/11 hijackers are still alive. I dont understand your view that this article about Egyptian court decisions relates to the survival of the 9/11 hijackers. But nonetheless. Have you thought about how a Boeing 757/767, which has a length of 155 3 and a wingspan of 124 10 and a tail section 40 above ground, could crash into the side of the Pentagon and leave an impact hole only 20 in diameter? About 45 minutes after impact, there was a second explosion causing the collapse of a few floors above and leaving damage about 40 in diameter. AND, supposedly that same sized airplane left a hole in the ground in Shanksville that was barely 10 deep and no more than 10 to 20 long. At both sites, no luggage, no fuselage pieces, no engines, no tail section, no passenger seats, and no bodies were found. I conclude that since no planes crashed into the Pentagon and into the ground outside Shanksville, then no planes crashed into the Twin Towers. No planes = no hijackers. One of the most extreme cases of injustice Ive ever read about. Egypt should be ashamed. I will pray justice will come soon for this young child. Disgracefull behavior Egypt !! Youre one really obnoxious American dude. Nah Id go with you for people to hate after experiencing them. Ever looked at yourself in the mirror? Obviously not. Youre not really good at reading peopleto say the least. As my tolerance for stupidity is quite low, I will simply point out the biggest (moronic) mistakes you made: 1. I am not American, not even close (Swede actually, in case you care) Whilst you may get some fun out of writing your bigoted drivel, anyone reading this knows youre only a fuktard. And being able to read and understand English is also important. So, Jim, shouldnt you start with that? Obviously you dont understand what I am writing, and you have rather big problems with the only language you claim to know (you know I am right). I cant really go on to the other part of the discussion (the traitors in the media and idiots believing their lies) if you dont even understand what Im writing. And do note that I am actually dumbing down my English so that the less educated people should be able to understand what Im writing (but I guess I didnt dumb it down enough for you, Jimmy). Todays rhetorical question: why do stupid people feel the need to spread their stupidity? Back in the days before the internet, we seldom heard from or saw stupid people, but these daysJim Thompsons are everywhere! Actually, it doesnt have to be rhetorical. Hey Jim, you must know youre pretty dense, why do you feel the need to prove it to people you dont even know? But no, dumbsh*t, I am not American, and its quite likely Ive visited or lived in your country (once again, I am not American, Ive actually traveled) and considering the amount of stupidity coming from your direction, I most likely know more about your countrys situation than you do! Unfortunately your not brave enough to tell anyone who you really are so that sort of makes you a useless impotent pointless keyboard warrior. your? Really? Learn your own language, dumbsh*t! Or? Hmm, based on your poor grammar, maybe Jim Thompson isnt your name. Mohammed, is that you? Are you pretending to be a human again, you silly little thing? Youre losing it which is something Id expect from a bigot. Grab a good tissue wipe that snotty nose of yours little bloody sook XD Imlosing it? Because you are making a complete fool out of yourself, I am losing it, in your world? You really dont like reality, do you? Youre getting weaker more troll like with each post. Awww, Im losing it? (:. Grab those tissues Butthurt. Desperate for material arent you, all youve got left is troll work. THE SOUND OF VICTORY FEELS GOOD IN THE MORNING! XD When people start going down the typo route and other forms of weak trolling, I got em by their sensitive throat, losing an argument but are too arrogant to admit it. Youre one very small-minded obnoxious individual, not to mention extremely butthurt and suggestable. Grab a Big Box Of Tissues, youre gonna need em eh Butthurt! More troll Faggot let me see that hurt Bitch! I just looked at your verifications. Believe every sensationalist media report you read do you. When you grow up youll learnt to take everything media reports with a grain of salt, mainstream and alternative both. For the record my suspicion was right, the boy didnt actually end up being imprisoned. Pays to ask more questions sometimes moron. I see bigotry isnt limited to the American people. No, its almost as rampant as obesity in Texas. Youre very rude. Im glad you moved out of the US. We dont need bigots like you. Really? Is that what you dont need? You need more Mexicans, Afro-Americans and WT, right? More rapes, more murders, more drugs (illegal or not) and of course more food? And worst of all: more religion. Considering the polls and the fact that you may end up with a TRUMP-sign on the White House, lets see how many in the US agree with you. Well, at least you have some well based arguments, nobody can take that away from you! After all, your beloved sandpeople contribute so much to the world, and even more to the previously civilized socities. Without them, wed barely have any crime and our women would be forced to gangrape themselves! Just a question, Jim: are your parents siblings? 
3	Millions of Kenyan Women Given Vaccines Covertly Laced with Anti-Fertility AgentAaron Dykes and Melissa Melton The vaccination program was targeted only at women and girls of childbearing age who were required to take a whopping FIVE shots over the course of two years. As weve reported before, similar covert sterilization programs via the same tetanus vaccine have surfaced throughout other parts of the developing world, including Thailand, Mexico, Nicaragua, and the Philippines. Even though Kenyas Catholic bishops have sent six of these vaccine samples to two different independent labs which came back positive that the shots were laced with HCG which will essentially make a woman create antibodies to their own pregnancy hormones the Kenyan government has ignored the evidence and will continue to vaccinate another 1.3 million women (and somewhere over at The World Bank, horrible troll people bent on world domination and depopulation are high-fiving) The vaccine is sponsored by the World Health Organization and Unicef, which is pretty telling considering that the WHO is one of the first organizations to create and test an infertility vaccine back in the 1980s. As we show in the video, these vaccines actually go all the way back to the sixties when The Rockefeller Foundation started funding research into creating one Image: Anthony Freda Art Aaron Dykes and Melissa Melton created TruthstreamMedia.com, where this first appeared, as an outlet to examine the news, uncover the deceptions, pierce through the fabric of illusions, 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 
3	Big Oil, Qataris, Saudis Lick Lips As US Fights ISIS By Bombing Syrian PipelinesBrandon Turbeville While logically fallacious, the rationale offered to the American public remains that ISIS is making millions of dollars per day via the sale of the oil taken from the fields in its possession on the black market to a number of different states. Yet, while the U.S. media does not bother to explain just how ISIS manages to extract, refine, and ship the oil, or how it is able to procure deals, and complete their transactions outside of the knowledge of Western militaries, governments, and intelligence agencies to the tune of $2 million per day, these outlets do provide the solution bomb the oil pipelines belonging to Bashar al-Assad. Of course, while it is most likely true that ISIS is using their commandeered oil sites to support themselves on a number of fronts, and even attempting (with some success) to sell that oil, the idea that ISIS is somehow able to evade the most sophisticated monitoring network in the entire world during the process of obtaining, refining, selling, and delivering oil across the region is entirely unbelievable. Indeed, it is about as believable as the claim that ISIS was able to seize such large swaths of territory across Syria and Iraq without the knowledge of the United States and NATO. Regardless, it must be pointed out that, among the countries listed as hosting ISIS customers by mainstream outlets like CNN, Turkey and Jordan are at the top of the list, both close American allies and one a member of NATO. Even more interesting is the fact that ISIS has also allegedly sold black market oil to buyers in a number of EU member states. Still, this newly-formed ISIS oil company is now claimed to be one of the US primary concerns by the Deputy Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian affairs, Julieta Valls Noyes, during her recent trip to London. As usual, the U.S. response to its concerns involves the possibility of airstrikes. Of course, having crossed the boundaries of sanity and logic a long time ago, the United States and its media mouthpieces are now pushing the fantasy that Bashar Al-Assad is one of the buyers of ISIS oil. In other words, NATO and the U.S. in particular are trying to convince the general public that Bashar al-Assad, who has been fighting ISIS and related terror organizations for at least 4 years, is now buying oil from ISIS in order to fight ISIS. Therefore, according to the American government, the U.S. must fight ISIS by blowing up the oil pipelines that rightfully belong to Assad so ISIS does not fund itself by selling oil to Assad. Of course, this is not merely staggering logic. It is a lie. It is nothing more than a cover to mask the true nature of the funding of ISIS and other takfiri militants operating in Iraq and Syria, namely that the funding is coming from the United States, NATO, and the GCC. Like the ridiculous claims that ISIS was funding itself entirely through secretive private Twitter donations, the oil sales argument is one that should be taken with a healthy dose of salt. After all, mainstream outlets are also asserting that ISIS is selling some of this oil to the Syrian government, a lose-win-lose situation for both sides and a rather poor attempt to portray Assad as an ally of ISIS. In reality, it should always be remembered that ISIS is entirely a creation of the West and that it remains fundamentally under the control of NATO and the GCC. Another relevant piece of the puzzle that must be kept in mind is the coveted Qatari oil pipeline desired by both Qatar and the United States. This pipeline would run up from Qatar through Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, and Turkey and, from there, on to the rest of Europe. The establishment of this pipeline would have provided for a much-needed backup plan for Europe that is currently dependent on Russia for much of its supply. Remember, it was in 2009 that Assad nixed the plan for the development of this pipeline. In lieu of the Qatari deal, Assad began negotiating a deal with Iran that would have seen a pipeline built across Iraq and Syria that also would have provided gas to Europe. As Nafeez Ahmed wrote for The Guardian in 2013, The Iran-Iraq-Syria pipeline plan was a direct slap in the face to Qatars plans. No wonder Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan, in a failed attempt to bribe Russia to switch sides, told President Vladmir Putin that whatever regime comes after Assad, it will be completely in Saudi Arabias hands and will not sign any agreement allowing any Gulf country to transport its gas across Syria to Europe and compete with Russian gas exports, according to diplomatic sources. When Putin refused, the Prince vowed military action. With this in mind, one can clearly see the incentive that Western governments would have in the destruction not only of the potential Iran-Iraq-Syria oil/gas pipeline but also of the existing oil and gas pipeline infrastructure that currently exists. A bombing of Syrias oil pipelines would subsequently allow the Qataris to rebuild the infrastructure that its allies destroyed and, as a result, weaken Russia even further on the geopolitical grand chessboard. Lastly, it should not be forgotten that the destruction of Syrias oil and gas infrastructure weakens the Syrian governments forces. Remember, in instances where the United States has bombed Syrian oil refineries so far, SAA forces were poised to move in to retake control of the oil refineries managed by terrorists funded by Western powers, but the United States initiated airstrikes just in the nick of time to deprive SAA forces of the opportunity to seize some of the oil refinery infrastructure it desperately needs. It is also important to note that virtually none of the infrastructure being destroyed by the United States airstrikes was built by ISIS. It was built by the Syrian government. The reality of the bombing campaign is that the United States and its allies are destroying important regions of Syria and leaving nothing of real value for the Syrian military to retake after its long-fought battles against ISIS. In the end, the latest claims presenting ISIS as impenetrable in its secrecy and daunting in its war and financial strategy is nothing more than pure propaganda. It is nothing more than a justification designed to goad the American people into continued complacency in the face of further US military intervention in Syria and the open assault on the Syrian government. Unfortunately, this has become a task which is far too easy. Recently from Brandon Turbeville: Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

Im all for the bombing! The U.S. is now the oil giant of the world; but by fracking, we are poluting the underground water farmers use for their crops; so we are going to be eating oilent green. Im all for the bombing!= Im all for the mindless killing of civilians in the name of greed FU A few points here. First, an oil pipeline provides benefit on both ends; the sellers of oil and the buyers of oil. Clearly America wants to hurt Syria, but I wonder what Americas plan is to compensate the innocent buyers of the oil that lose their supply line? Second, making the destruction of oil pipelines a legitimate target for America to punish oil producers that disobey America, opens the door for ANY oil producing country to use phantom terrorists to control the supply of oil. Third, the increased risk to the supply of oil by bombing pipelines would increase the price of oil in general, allowing ANY oil producer that is unhappy with Saudi Arabias suppression of oil prices to reverse the current decline of oil prices. Americas oil pipeline bombing plan can only have the effect of raising oil prices around the world, making the American fracking miracle more profitable and to hell with everyone else..

3	Ghost Gunner 3D Printer: Legally Make Your Own Rifle At HomeNo Serial Number, No Background Check, And No Waiting Period As the government feverishlyattemptsto restrict everything from the importation ofammunition to ownership of semi-automatic weapons, one individual has been tirelessly working to restore thespirit of the Second Amendment to all corners of America. Cody Wilson, who in 2013 developed the first ever 3-D printed plastic gun known as The Liberator, is at it again. But this time hes taking open source firearm manufacturing to a whole other level. Earlier models of his home printed firearms were dependent on plastic parts. They worked, albeit only a few times before they shattered because of the extreme pressures involved with firing a bullet out of a gun. Even the heaviestduty plastics eventually weakened to the point of failure. But the world of 3-D printing and private gunownership is about to change dramatically. This holiday season Wilsons company Defense Distributed will be releasing the first ever 3-D printer designed specifically for the manufacture of firearms. The Ghost Gunner is named after the ghost gun, a firearms industry name for a weapon that cant be traced. Once instructions are sent tothe one-foot cube, the machine iscapable of milling the one componentof a gun that makes it a gun: the lower receiver. Its also the part of the gun that you cannot legally buy in most states withoutthe government knowing about it because it must have a serial number. And what makes Ghost Gunner different from previous attempts at printing firearms is that this one prints with metal, not plastic. Its about to get a whole lot easier to make a semi-automatic rifle at home with no serial number, no background check, and no waiting period. Cody Wilson, the libertarian behindthe worlds first 3D-printed gun, is now selling an all-in-one desktop CNC mill, called the Ghost Gunner. It can produce an aluminum lower receiver of an AR-15 rifle the civilian version of the militarys M-16 assault rifle in a couple of hours. The lower receiver, which connects the stock, barrel, magazine, and other parts of the gun together, is the component that is legally considered to be a firearm under US law and its sale is highly regulated. The Ghost Gunner is programmed to take a partially-complete lower receiver, known as an 80 percent lower, and automatically mill it into a functioning part. From there, all you have to do is buy the other widely-available components online and assemble the rifle. As Wilson explains onthe products website, on day one, Ghost Gunner can help you legally manufacture unserialized firearms in the comfort of your own home. In 2013, when Wilson released the 38 caliber 3-D printed Liberator handgun, anti-gun advocate Senator Chuck Schumer of New York called it a stomach churning development that must be stopped. A few days after Wilsons video demonstration of the first ever plastic firearm went viral and over 50,000 people downloaded the open source plans, Federal authorities swooped in and shut down the operationclaiming that the freerelease of the plans violated theArms Export Control Act. Its not clear what, if anything, Federal, State or local authorities will do now that 3D printing gives theaverage person without advanced firearms machining skills the ability to print the essential component to an AR-15 without having to inform government regulators. Heres what Wilsons Defense Distributed has to say about the legalities of printing your own guns: In general, yes. Semi-automatic firearms, including the AR-15 lower receivers, are generally legal to manufacture for private individuals per US federal law Title 18 do not require serialization or other makers marks. However, some states/municipalities restrict either the manufacture of certain firearms, or, more recently, the personal manufacture of a firearm with a 3D printer and/or CNC machine. DD makes no claim regarding local manufacturing legality; lower receiver files provided by Defense Distributed might require special licensing to manufacture and/or possess. Under federal law, manufacturing a firearm for contemplation of future sale without an FFL is prohibited. Without a manufacturing FFL, you should manufacture firearms for personal use only. So, it would essentially take an act of Congress and perhaps even a complete re-writing of the U.S. Constitution to make the manufacture of firearms for personal use with the Ghost Gunner illegal. Were sure there are those in government who will make it their mission to shut Defense Distributed down once again. But 500 Ghost Gunner units have already been sold and more are slated to ship in 2015. Plus, they take Bitcoin, so the Libertarian-minded Wilson could easily take payments for the printer anonymously and destroy all records about his customers, making it impossible for the government to know who bought what. Wiki Weapons, it seems, are here to stay. Related Chronicle of 3D-printed weapons: You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com, where this first appeared.

1	According to a report published Tuesday by the University of Michigan, Americans confidence in the nebulous, vastly complex concept of the U.S. economy has reached its highest level since 2006. After eight years of mostly pessimistic attitudes toward the incomprehensible system of billions of moving parts they cant even begin to imagine, let alone understand on a national scale, we found that consumers are starting to grow more optimistic about the indefinable idea of the American economy, said senior researcher Doug Robertson, who projected that individuals confidence in the intricate and unknowable network of production and consumption would lead to a strong holiday shopping season. Furthermore, as more and more people believe in the health of this amorphous abstraction theyve never formally learned anything about and dont even have the most basic grasp of, we expect this positive sentiment to continue upwards. Robertson added that confidence in the fuzzy, inscrutable engine of national prosperity had reached record highs among economists as well. 
3	Big Pharmas Psychotropic and Other Drug ProblemsCatherine J. Frompovich If so, you may be interested in knowing what independent researchers are finding regarding ADHD drugs, Antidepressant drugs, Antipsychotic drugs, and Anti-Anxiety drugs. CCHR InternationalThe Mental Health Watchdog online, publishes an extensive listing of those drugs risks and/or possible side effects here. ADHD drugs: Antidepressant drugs: Antipsychotic drugs: Anti-Anxiety drugs: Blogger Raven Clabough has written an excellent article titled, Research: Antipsychotic Meds Cause Hopelessness, Zombie-Like State that I think my readers ought to study, as Raven has done her homework very well, so I defer to her article. One of the issues Raven points out is: According to the American Psychiatric Association, five percent of American children have ADHD, but studies reveal more than 11 percent of American children are diagnosed with the condition. [CJF emphasis added] Therein we find a part of the problem, i.e., misdiagnoses with over-prescribing pharmaceutical drugs, which no authorities in either federal or state governments are addressing. Furthermore, a prescription-pad-practice, in my opinion, is tantamount to soft medical malpractice by medical doctors, or others, who prescribe psychotropic drugs almost willy-nillyall while not being held to proper oversight by those who lobby for the rulesprofessional organizations in many instances. Pharmaceutical drugs/business/markets have become behemoth institutions promoting money-making industries that, apparently, are too big to tackle or handle by medical boards, state licensing boards, and the medical professions, e.g., the American Medical Association. Bluntly, we could very well do without all of them. Why? Well, if too big means no transparency and improper oversight, with self-regulation especially in research science, then Americans and global healthcare consumers need to re-think the propaganda they are exposed to by the media and all health agencies. Pharmaceutical ads, like tobacco ads, should be banned. Franklyand in my opinion, we definitely have a legal drug culture in the USA, legally sanctioned by the CDC/FDA and state health agencies. Most children are on one or two medications and dozens of vaccines; while all senior citizens can be counted on to take at least between 2 and 5 prescription drugs, plus vaccines. For just one diseasecancerthere are 771 new medicines and vaccines in development. [2] How many diseases are there? Heres a listing of Potential New Vaccines, which I wont even try to count, as I dont have the time to scroll through all the information. So, how many new Rx and vaccine drugs do you think are in developmental pipelines? Pretty soon everyone will be required to get a vaccine a day, at the rate they are going. Fast-tracking to get drugs into markets is something the FDA now is trying to streamline. It would seem that the FDA responds to Big Pharma in this manner: Pharma says Jump! and FDA asks, How high? Granted that legitimate medications are necessaryeven life-saving at times, but whats going on now is nothing more than a money-making medical racket that, apparently, is positioned to do more harm than good. One hundred thousand Americans die a year from prescription drugs. [3] Moreover, many Rx drugs can become habit-forming and/or addictive. One prime boutique drug, for example, is OxyContin. Furthermore, how many MDs have been busted for selling scripts for prescribing the illegal use of that drug? During the Renaissance the 14th to 17th centuries A.D. art was the fashionable trend and prevailing industry or business. Then, there was the Industrial Age that started in the later part of the 1700s introducing all types of machinery. Currently, even though you may think we are living in the technology age, we actually are living in the pharmaceutical age! The proof for that statement is in realizing that one cannot read a magazine, newspaper, or other advertisement without some reference to a pharmaceutical drug or advertisement for a health issue to bring to your doctors attention to prescribe a certain proprietary pharmaceutical. TV ads bombard viewers with multiple drug ads per advertising minute, similar to what the tobacco industry did in advertising their cancer sticks. By 1969, the stage had been set for a showdown over cigarette advertising and promotion (Wagner, 1971: 190). The U.S. Government was increasing its efforts to discourage the sale of cigarettes. Post office trucks carried posters: 100,000 Doctors Have Quit Smoking. [8] Do you think we will ever see a showdown about all the pharmaceutical drug advertisements? Supposedly, close to 80 percent of Big Pharmas expenses are for marketing their controlled chemical substances. This article explains some of how Big Pharma spends its money to make money. To add to that, pharmaceutical drug reps prowl physicians offices like bees returning to the hivein swarms. If no officials have realized the seriousness of the problems with over-prescribing pharmaceuticals, thats because there is no real oversight, in my opinion. Congress constantly is lobbied by Big Pharma lobbyists who tell tales about how the latest drug is going to do this or that good, or new legislation to improve health services, all while much of the science about drugs is not what everyone is told, including the U.S. FDA a lot of the time. Class action lawsuits by consumers being harmed by meds attest to bad pharmaceuticals. In 2004, Marcia Angell, MD, a former editor for almost 20 years at the New England Journal of Medicine, wrote a scathing book about Big Pharma titled, The Truth About the Drug Companies, which The New York Times reviewed here. If anyone ought to know the pharmaceutical industry inside out, shouldnt it be Dr. Angell? And still, her book has had absolutely no impact on restraining collars being placed upon the pharmaceutical industry, their researchers fraudulent practices, and their apparent unethical business practices. How many of the Big Pharma brotherhood have been fined by the USA government for fraud and other illegal practices? Are fines the only oversight? Or, do fines keep the merry-go-round going? Heres a listing of just ten companies that I included in my selfnews Post article, Big Pharmas Corporate Crimes and Fines: How Can They Get Away With It? Now, lets talk about the real meat and potatoes issues regarding pharmaceuticals. In The New York Times review of Dr. Angells book mentioned above, we find this: Over the past two decades the pharmaceutical industry has moved very far from its original high purpose of discovering and producing useful new drugs. Now primarily a marketing machine to sell drugs of dubious benefit, this industry uses its wealth and power to co-opt every institution that might stand in its way, including the US Congress, the FDA, academic medical centers, and the medical profession itself. (Most of its marketing efforts are focused on influencing doctors, since they must write the prescriptions.) What I underscored above hits the nail on the head in more ways than one! Childrens boutique drugs are vaccines starting with day one of their just-born lives, the Hepatitis B vaccine for a sexually-transmitted disease. For senior citizens, there are quite a few performer drugs, including annual flu and pneumococcal vaccines. The bottom line about prescription drugs is that they are BIGrather HUMONGOUSbusiness for all involved: Big Pharma, MDs who get kickbacks and commissions for prescribing drugs, and pharmacy chains like Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, etc. Whos going to complain about drug abuse when they are making money hand-over-fist? Legally, too! According to the Healthy Home Economist webpage, here are some kickback figures since 2009 for payments to Doctors: [4] There really ought to be a law against doctors kickbacks! In the insurance industry, kickback practices are called rebating [5], and are illegal. That should be made the same for the medical profession and pharmaceutical industry, in particular, which needs more cleaning up than an outdoor porta-potty, I think. Are you ready for the hard facts about pharmaceutical drugs? According to The Henry J Kaiser Family Foundation webpage Total Number of Retail Prescription Drugs Filled at Pharmacies in the timeframe 2013, the total Rx drugs in the USA was 3,899,799,770 thats close to four (4) billionwith a B. That, I assume, does not include pharmaceuticals dispensed in hospitals. Currently, there were only 320,324,830 (thats million, not billion) people in the USA on the census clock that I accessed Feb. 11, 2015. Back in 2013, there were quite a few less souls in the USA. So, how many prescription drugs are being overprescribed? Whats the average per person? Astounding? And, still, no one thinks thats abnormal! Can that be why we have so many sick people, and the cost of healthcare is over the moon? Surely, Big Pharma has found its niche market, while healthcare consumers are paying the price in more ways than one! The most outrageous way is the cost of losing ones health due to fraud in pharmaceutical science, adverse reactions, iatrogenic diseases and, especially, with vaccines for children and adults due to neurotoxins and other toxic chemicals in them. Autism is now one in 50; whereas in the 1970s, it was one in 10,000! Prescription Drugs: Retail prescription drug spending grew 2.5 percent to $271.1 billion, compared to 0.5 percent growth in 2012. Faster growth in 2013 resulted from price increases for brand-name and specialty drugs, increased spending on new medicines, and increased utilization. [9] [CJF emphasis added] The worlds 11 largest drug companies made a net profit of $711.4 billion from 2003 to 2012. Six of these companies are headquartered in the United Sates: Johnson Johnson, Pfizer, Abbot Laboratories, Merck, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Eli Lilly. In 2012 alone, the top 11 companies earned nearly $85 billion in net profits. According to IMS Health, a worldwide leader in health care research, the global market for pharmaceuticals is expected to top $1 trillion in sales by 2014. [10] [CJF emphasis added. This may be what its all aboutproduct sales, I offer.] Isnt it long overdue that healthcare consumers demand better healthcare practices, and look for other modalities of healthcare that dont make them into legal drug addicts? Below, when you read the website about drugs pulled from the market after ages being legally prescribed, you ought to stop and wonder, What are they doing to us and how can they get away with it legally? Whos covering their derrieres, and why? ProCon.org on its Prescription Drug Ads webpage features this: 35 FDA-Approved Prescription Drugs Later Pulled from the Market. According to their information, the drugs Darvon and Darvocet were on the market for 55 years (1955 to Nov. 19, 2010) before being pulled because of causing serious toxicity to the heart with over 2,110 deaths reported! CDC/FDA, dont you know what you are doing? Congress, wheres your oversight? State licensing boards, wake up! DrugWatch publishes Dangerous Drugs here, which discusses diabetes drugs, hormone drugs, birth control pills, acne medication, cholesterol drugs, blood thinners, osteoporosis treatments, pain medication, gastrointestinal drugs, dialysis treatment, and a hair loss pill. In essence, do you think that maybe MDs dont know what they are prescribing? If you are taking any of those pills, maybe you ought to see another MD for a second opinion about your condition and the Rx drugs you take. No one can trust Big Pharmas fudged science reports to get Rx drugs through the FDAs approval process or licensing for vaccines. In 2013, Fortune published the article Dirty medicine The epic inside story of long-term criminal fraud at Ranbaxy, the Indian drug company that makes generic Lipitor for millions of Americans. [6] Statins and cholesterol-lowering drugs, including generics, are widely prescribed in the USA. However, the FDA expanded its advice on statin drugs, which consumers should know here. However, after reviewing whats happened in the past, we can be certain that business as usual at CDC/FDA and professional associations probably will be the same. The only thing that may change in the future is larger fines with no real relief for healthcare consumers, since the U.S. FDA apparently is Big Pharmas lackeys. For consumers, who are confused about their pills looking differently from previous pills taken, generic meds, or would like to identify pills found around the house that may have been brought into the house under dubious circumstances, theres the website Pill Identifier published by Drugs.com . The Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program is an international substance abuse prevention education program that seeks to prevent use of controlled drugs, membership in gangs, and violent behavior. [7] That must include the medical professionMDs in particularand all others who push prescription drugs as a cultural and economic thing to do. As an afterthought to all the above information, the information does not include OTCOver the Counter Drugsales in the USA, which amount to another huge market. As you can see from this data site reporting OTC sales from 1964 to 2013, we truly have become legal drug addicts. The figures speak for themselves: In 1964 OTC sales were $1.9 Billion Even the above figures are not an accurate picture, since according to the annotations on asterisked chart figures for the years 2000 to 2008, Wal-Mart OTC sales were not included. Lastly, I think I must report conflicts of interest, personal or professional, in the pharmaceutical industry and its products. I own no pharmaceutical company stocks, nor have I taken pharmaceutical drugs since about 1974, when prescription medications almost killed me. That was the best thing that ever happened to me. It made me find holistic health modalities, which gave me back my life. However, I must admit that when I was 7 years old, penicillin probably saved my life for which I am grateful, since I had lobar pneumonia.

3	Putin Calls Out U.S. At U.N. Summit: Do You Realize Now What You Have Done?By Brandon Turbeville Although Obamas oratory skills (at least when a working teleprompter is present) are known far and wide, Putins classic slouch and steady speech proved to be too much for the Nobel Prize winner to overcome. Indeed, it was not Obamas oratory that failed at the UN summit, it was what Obama represents. In other words, it was the U.S. reputation and credibility that collapsed in New York. Although Obama himself represents that failure, it has finally reached the point where no amount of impressive oration can repair what the United States has broken throughout its history, especially in the last 15 years. Indeed, unfortunately for Obama, that ship had sailed long before he ever reached Manhattan. Yet you wouldnt know that from the reaction in the Western press that presents a victorious Obama who confronted Russian aggression from the Summit floor in front of the world, calling Putin out for prolonging the war, supporting a brutal dictator, stealing territory, and pushing across Europe. As is the case with most reports coming from the mainstream Western press, however, that representation couldnt further from the truth. For that reason, the entire speech by Putin is provided below so that Western readers will have the opportunity to read it in full as opposed to small snippets and sound bites. Aside from repeating nonsense regarding carbon emissions, and WTO rules, Putins speech was a rare act of political confrontation against the United States. Putin, without launching into rhetoric, called out the United States for its support of terror in the Middle East and abroad, its expansive and imperialist nature, and its rogue behavior over the last several years. Your excellency Mr. President, your excellency Mr. Secretary General, distinguished heads of state and government, ladies and gentlemen, the 70th anniversary of the United Nations is a good occasion to both take stock of history and talk about our common future. In 1945, the countries that defeated Nazism joined their efforts to lay solid foundations for the postwar world order. But I remind you that the key decisions on the principles guiding the cooperation among states, as well as on the establishment of the United Nations, were made in our country, in Yalta, at the meeting of the anti-Hitler coalition leaders. The Yalta system was actually born in travail. It was won at the cost of tens of millions of lives and two world wars. This swept through the planet in the 20th century. Let us be fair. It helped humanity through turbulent, at times dramatic, events of the last seven decades. It saved the world from large-scale upheavals. The United Nations is unique in its legitimacy, representation and universality. It is true that lately the U.N. has been widely criticized for supposedly not being efficient enough, and for the fact that the decision-making on fundamental issues stalls due to insurmountable differences, first of all, among the members of the Security Council. However, Id like to point out there have always been differences in the U.N. throughout all these 70 years of existence. The veto right has always been exercised by the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China, the Soviet Union and Russia later, alike. It is absolutely natural for so diverse and representative an organization. When the U.N. was established, its founders did not in the least think that there would always be unanimity. The mission of the organization is to seek and reach compromises, and its strength comes from taking different views and opinions into consideration. Decisions debated within the U.N. are either taken as resolutions or not. As diplomats say, they either pass or do not pass. Whatever actions any state might take bypassing this procedure are illegitimate. They run counter to the charter and defy international law. We all know that after the end of the Cold War everyone is aware of that a single center of domination emerged in the world, and then those who found themselves at the top of the pyramid were tempted to think that if they were strong and exceptional, they knew better and they did not have to reckon with the U.N., which, instead of [acting to] automatically authorize and legitimize the necessary decisions, often creates obstacles or, in other words, stands in the way. It has now become commonplace to see that in its original form, it has become obsolete and completed its historical mission. Of course, the world is changing and the U.N. must be consistent with this natural transformation. Russia stands ready to work together with its partners on the basis of full consensus, but we consider the attempts to undermine the legitimacy of the United Nations as extremely dangerous. They could lead to a collapse of the entire architecture of international organizations, and then indeed there would be no other rules left but the rule of force. We would get a world dominated by selfishness rather than collective work, a world increasingly characterized by dictate rather than equality. There would be less of a chain of democracy and freedom, and that would be a world where true independent states would be replaced by an ever-growing number of de facto protectorates and externally controlled territories. What is the state sovereignty, after all, that has been mentioned by our colleagues here? It is basically about freedom and the right to choose freely ones own future for every person, nation and state. By the way, dear colleagues, the same holds true of the question of the so-called legitimacy of state authority. One should not play with or manipulate words. Every term in international law and international affairs should be clear, transparent and have uniformly understood criteria. We are all different, and we should respect that. No one has to conform to a single development model that someone has once and for all recognized as the only right one. We should all remember what our past has taught us. We also remember certain episodes from the history of the Soviet Union. Social experiments for export, attempts to push for changes within other countries based on ideological preferences, often led to tragic consequences and to degradation rather than progress. It seemed, however, that far from learning from others mistakes, everyone just keeps repeating them, and so the export of revolutions, this time of so-called democratic ones, continues. It would suffice to look at the situation in the Middle East and North Africa, as has been mentioned by previous speakers. Certainly political and social problems in this region have been piling up for a long time, and people there wish for changes naturally. But how did it actually turn out? Rather than bringing about reforms, an aggressive foreign interference has resulted in a brazen destruction of national institutions and the lifestyle itself. Instead of the triumph of democracy and progress, we got violence, poverty and social disaster. Nobody cares a bit about human rights, including the right to life. I cannot help asking those who have caused the situation, do you realize now what youve done? But I am afraid no one is going to answer that. Indeed, policies based on self-conceit and belief in ones exceptionality and impunity have never been abandoned. It is now obvious that the power vacuum created in some countries of the Middle East and North Africa through the emergence of anarchy areas, which immediately started to be filled with extremists and terrorists. Tens of thousands of militants are fighting under the banners of the so-called Islamic State. Its ranks include former Iraqi servicemen who were thrown out into the street after the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Many recruits also come from Libya, a country whose statehood was destroyed as a result of a gross violation of the U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973. And now, the ranks of radicals are being joined by the members of the so-called moderate Syrian opposition supported by the Western countries. First, they are armed and trained and then they defect to the so-called Islamic State. Besides, the Islamic State itself did not just come from nowhere. It was also initially forged as a tool against undesirable secular regimes. Having established a foothold in Iraq and Syria, the Islamic State has begun actively expanding to other regions. It is seeking dominance in the Islamic world. And not only there, and its plans go further than that. The situation is more than dangerous. In these circumstances, it is hypocritical and irresponsible to make loud declarations about the threat of international terrorism while turning a blind eye to the channels of financing and supporting terrorists, including the process of trafficking and illicit trade in oil and arms. It would be equally irresponsible to try to manipulate extremist groups and place them at ones service in order to achieve ones own political goals in the hope of later dealing with them or, in other words, liquidating them. To those who do so, I would like to say dear sirs, no doubt you are dealing with rough and cruel people, but theyre in no way primitive or silly. They are just as clever as you are, and you never know who is manipulating whom. And the recent data on arms transferred to this most moderate opposition is the best proof of it. We believe that any attempts to play games with terrorists, let alone to arm them, are not just short-sighted, but fire hazardous (ph). This may result in the global terrorist threat increasing dramatically and engulfing new regions, especially given that Islamic State camps train militants from many countries, including the European countries. Unfortunately, dear colleagues, I have to put it frankly: Russia is not an exception. We cannot allow these criminals who already tasted blood to return back home and continue their evil doings. No one wants this to happen, does he? Russia has always been consistently fighting against terrorism in all its forms. Today, we provide military and technical assistance both to Iraq and Syria and many other countries of the region who are fighting terrorist groups. We think it is an enormous mistake to refuse to cooperate with the Syrian government and its armed forces, who are valiantly fighting terrorism face to face. We should finally acknowledge that no one but President Assads armed forces and Kurds (ph) militias are truly fighting the Islamic State and other terrorist organizations in Syria. We know about all the problems and contradictions in the region, but which were (ph) based on the reality. Dear colleagues, I must note that such an honest and frank approach of Russia has been recently used as a pretext to accuse it of its growing ambitions, as if those who say it have no ambitions at all. However, its not about Russias ambitions, dear colleagues, but about the recognition of the fact that we can no longer tolerate the current state of affairs in the world. What we actually propose is to be guided by common values and common interests, rather than ambitions. On the basis of international law, we must join efforts to address the problems that all of us are facing and create a genuinely broad international coalition against terrorism. Similar to the anti-Hitler coalition, it could unite a broad range of forces that are resolutely resisting those who, just like the Nazis, sow evil and hatred of humankind. And, naturally, the Muslim countries are to play a key role in the coalition, even more so because the Islamic State does not only pose a direct threat to them, but also desecrates one of the greatest world religions by its bloody crimes. The ideologists (ph) of militants make a mockery of Islam and pervert its true humanistic (ph) values. I would like to address Muslim spiritual leaders, as well. Your authority and your guidance are of great importance right now. It is essential to prevent people recruited by militants from making hasty decisions and those who have already been deceived, and who, due to various circumstances found themselves among terrorists, need help in finding a way back to normal life, laying down arms, and putting an end to fratricide. Russia will shortly convene, as the (ph) current president of the Security Council, a ministerial meeting to carry out a comprehensive analysis of threats in the Middle East. First of all, we propose discussing whether it is possible to agree on a resolution aimed at coordinating the actions of all the forces that confront the Islamic State and other terrorist organizations. Once again, this coordination should be based on the principles of the U.N. Charter. We hope that the international community will be able to develop a comprehensive strategy of political stabilization, as well as social and economic recovery, of the Middle East. Then, dear friends, there would be no need for new refugee camps. Today, the flow of people who were forced to leave their homeland has literally engulfed first neighboring countries and then Europe itself. There were hundreds of thousands of them now, and there might be millions before long. In fact, it is a new great and tragic migration of peoples, and it is a harsh lesson for all of us, including Europe. I would like to stress refugees undoubtedly need our compassion and support. However, the on the way to solve this problem at a fundamental level is to restore their statehood where it has been destroyed, to strengthen the government institutions where they still exist or are being reestablished, to provide comprehensive assistance of military, economic and material nature to countries in a difficult situation. And certainly, to those people who, despite all the ordeals, will not abandon their homes. Literally, any assistance to sovereign states can and must be offered rather than imposed exclusively and solely in accordance with the U.N. Charter. In other words, everything in this field that has been done or will be done pursuant to the norms of international law must be supported by our organization. Everything that contravenes the U.N. Charter must be rejected. Above all, I believe it is of the utmost importance to help restore governments institutions in Libya, support the new government of Iraq and provide comprehensive assistance to the legitimate government of Syria. Dear colleagues, ensuring peace and regional and global stability remains the key objective of the international community with the U.N. at its helm. We believe this means creating a space of equal and indivisible security, which is not for the select few but for everyone. Yet, it is a challenge and complicated and time-consuming task, but there is simply no other alternative. However, the bloc thinking of the times of the Cold War and the desire to explore new geopolitical areas is still present among some of our colleagues. First, they continue their policy of expanding NATO. What for? If the Warsaw Bloc stopped its existence, the Soviet Union have collapsed (ph) and, nevertheless, the NATO continues expanding as well as its military infrastructure. Then they offered the poor Soviet countries a false choice: either to be with the West or with the East. Sooner or later, this logic of confrontation was bound to spark off a grave geopolitical crisis. This is exactly what happened in Ukraine, where the discontent of population with the current authorities was used and the military coup was orchestrated from outside that triggered a civil war as a result. Were confident that only through full and faithful implementation of the Minsk agreements of February 12th, 2015, can we put an end to the bloodshed and find a way out of the deadlock. Ukraines territorial integrity cannot be ensured by threat of force and force of arms. What is needed is a genuine consideration for the interests and rights of the people in the Donbas region and respect for their choice. There is a need to coordinate with them as provided for by the Minsk agreements, the key elements of the countrys political structure. These steps will guarantee that Ukraine will develop as a civilized society, as an essential link and building a common space of security and economic cooperation, both in Europe and in Eurasia. Ladies and gentlemen, I have mentioned these common space of economic cooperation on purpose. Not long ago, it seemed that in the economic sphere, with its objective market loss, we would launch a leaf (ph) without dividing lines. We would build on transparent and jointly formulated rules, including the WTO principles, stipulating the freedom of trade, and investment and open competition. Nevertheless, today, unilateral sanctions circumventing the U.N. Charter have become commonplace, in addition to pursuing political objectives. The sanctions serve as a means of eliminating competitors. I would like to point out another sign of a growing economic selfishness. Some countries [have] chosen to create closed economic associations, with the establishment being negotiated behind the scenes, in secret from those countries own citizens, the general public, business community and from other countries. Other states whose interests may be affected are not informed of anything, either. It seems that we are about to be faced with an accomplished fact that the rules of the game have been changed in favor of a narrow group of the privileged, with the WTO having no say. This could unbalance the trade system completely and disintegrate the global economic space. These issues affect the interest of all states and influence the future of the world economy as a whole. That is why we propose discussing them within the U.N. WTO NGO (ph) 20. Contrary to the policy of exclusiveness, Russia proposes harmonizing original economic projects. I refer to the so-called integration of integrations based on universal and transparent rules of international trade. As an example, I would like to cite our plans to interconnect the Eurasian economic union, and Chinas initiative of the Silk Road economic belt. We still believe that harmonizing the integration processes within the Eurasian Economic Union and the European Union is highly promising. Ladies and gentlemen, the issues that affect the future of all people include the challenge of global climate change. It is in our interest to make the U.N. Climate Change Conference to be held in December in Paris a success. As part of our national contribution, we plan to reduce by 2030 the greenhouse emissions to 70, 75 percent of the 1990 level. I suggest, however, we should take a wider view on this issue. Yes, we might defuse the problem for a while, by setting quotas on harmful emissions or by taking other measures that are nothing but tactical. But we will not solve it that way. We need a completely different approach. We have to focus on introducing fundamental and new technologies inspired by nature, which would not damage the environment, but would be in harmony with it. Also, that would allow us to restore the balance upset by biosphere and technosphere (ph) upset by human activities. It is indeed a challenge of planetary scope, but Im confident that humankind has intellectual potential to address it. We need to join our efforts. I refer, first of all, to the states that have a solid research basis and have made significant advances in fundamental science. We propose convening a special forum under the U.N. auspices for a comprehensive consideration of the issues related to the depletion of natural resources, destruction of habitat and climate change. Russia would be ready to co-sponsor such a forum. Ladies and gentlemen, colleagues, it was on the 10th of January, 1946, in London that the U.N. General Assembly gathered for its first session. Mr. Suleta (ph) (inaudible), a Colombian diplomat and the chairman of the Preparatory Commission, opened the session by giving, I believe, a concise definition of the basic principles that the U.N. should follow in its activities, which are free will, defiance of scheming and trickery and spirit of cooperation. Today, his words sound as a guidance for all of us. Russia believes in the huge potential of the United Nations, which should help us avoid a new global confrontation and engage in strategic cooperation. Together with other countries, we will consistently work towards strengthening the central coordinating role of the U.N. Im confident that by working together, we will make the world stable and safe, as well as provide conditions for the development of all states and nations. Thank you.

Putin is right. America needs to get out of the business of creating democratic revolution in states that have no historical basis for liberal democratic government. Its all a sham, theres nothing democratic about the transformation. The global elite are creating their NWO Technocratic prison planet control grid using N-dimensional geopolitical engineered conflict along with elaborate theater. It used to be the case that most people commenting on this website understood the modus operandi of the international banksters. Putin is allowing Geoengineering (chemtrailing) in Russia, the adoption of Agenda 21, Smart Meters, Smart Grid, Smart Cities, neoliberal economics via IMF and BIS, multinational corporation interdependence, and has advocated the rise of regional governments (supplanting nation state sovereignty) for development of the new international [bankster] economic order and so much more. What the US political puppets have been doing to serve their NWO masters constitutes crimes against humanity, however, this is now a global disease and if we allow distractions to blind us from educating the public on the big picture, then we are walking right into the traps laid out for us. I dont mean putin is right about UN. I mean US should stay the Fk out Completely agree. My point is US vs. Russia and China is Hegelian theater. It wasnt clear you knew democratic revolution is a propaganda term. There are no democracies, only fronts. UN = NWO; Broad international coalition against manufactured terrorism = global military and police force I do not understand what (ph) means. 
2	BREAKING: Massive Voter Fraud Uncovered... Hes The Real Truth About Trumps Win Ever since Donald Trump was named this countrys next president, liberals have been complaining that our elections system is unfair. The basis of their argument is built on Hillary Clinton winning the popular vote. Now, massive fraud was just uncovered that could change that fact. According to reports from Infowars, approximately 3 million votes were cast by illegal immigrants in this election. This information was uncovered by Greg Phillips of the VoteFraud.org organization. The group found that without illegal immigrants, Trump likely won the popular in addition to the electoral vote. We have verified more than three million votes cast by non-citizens, Phillips tweeted, after claiming his group had completed an analysis of a database of 180 voter registrations. Number of non-citizen votes exceeds 3 million, he continued. Consulting legal team. Current statistics allege Clinton won the popular vote by 630,000 voteseven though 7 million ballots are still uncounted at this time. The majority of the votes Phillips is referring to were for Clinton, so its possible Trump could have won the popular vote by around 2 million votes. It is believed that many illegal residents in the United States used the name of dead citizens to cast their ballots. On the morning of the election, there were 4 million dead people on American voter rolls. What do you think of this new information? Could this finally silence liberal protesters? Trump won the election fair and square. 
3	California County Quietly Votes For Independence From State and Federal LawsJamie Lee Mendocino County, in the pristine northern lands of California, where the magnificent ancient coastal Redwood trees meet the inland California Oaks, has voted itself into the constitution writing (righting) business. Yesterday, by a significant margin, they became the first county in California, and only the second county in the country to pass into law a very powerful local ordinance that declares local self-governing rights in their communities over state and federal jurisdiction. Over 67% of the votes cast were in favor of the measure. The ordinance provides for waters free from toxic trespass; preemptively bans all fracking activities countywide with heavy fines and penalties for violation of the ordinance; and establishes a Community Bill of Rights to, for, and by the residents of Mendocino County while checking corporate powers as well. In addition, the newly created law gives the Rights of Nature to exist and flourish without toxic trespass whereas previously Nature had no standing in the court of law. Here is some of the powerful language in the proposed ordinance which you can read (source): All residents of Mendocino County possess the right to a form of governance where they live which recognizes that all power is inherent in the people and all free governments are founded on the peoples consent. Use of Mendocino County government by the sovereign people to make law and policy shall not be deemed by any authority to eliminate or reduce that self-governing authority. Rights as self-executing, fundamental and unalienable. All rights delineated and secured by this ordinance are inherent, fundamental and unalienable; and shall be self-executing and enforceable against both private and public actors. The people of Mendocino County have made history once again after being the first county in the nation to ban Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) in 2004. Now these Mendonesians of premier wine making, medical marijuana growing and self-declared independence are continuing to assert and reclaim their inherent rights to decide for themselves what the laws will be in their communities and their county. What may seem radical to many is only following in declarations and rights acknowledged to, by, and for them by the California State and U.S. Constitutions as well as the Declaration of Independence: Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776: Article 1 of the California State Constitution of 1849: Across the nation a truly grass-roots movement of taken back power by, and for the people at the local levels has begun in earnest. In California, in this election alone, two other counties, Santa Barbara and San Benito, put anti-fracking measures in front of the voters while Big Oil spent over $7 million to defeat them. Santa Barbara was defeated last night but San Bernardino Countys measure passed into law. Ohio, New Mexico, Colorado, Maine, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania have in recent years passed into law local ordinances banning everything from toxic pig sludge dumping to Community Bill of Rights legislation as well as legal standing for the Rights of Nature to exist. In 2010, the City of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania made history by becoming the first city to pass a local ordinance banning hydraulic fracking. So far, state courts have upheld these rights in Colorado and Ohio. However, a bigger challenge comes in coming months as a federal judge will make ruling on Mora County, New Mexicos recent local ordinance passed that bans fracking in their county. It will be high stakes for all as over 30% of the states revenues comes from the oil and gas industry. Yet clearly the people of Mora County are choosing to protect their health and well being over profit, jobs and revenues for their county. Last week NASA released photos taken from space showing mass methane gas releases from the four corners region of the Southwestern United States, stunning all as to the widespread drastic effects that intense and increasing fracking activities are having on our environment. Up north in Oregon, Lane and Benton Counties are bringing to vote local ordinances to preempt Oregon state laws for the right to determine local food sovereignty. Last year, Oregon had preempted local counties from banning GMOs in their communities. Communities are now empowering themselves and fighting back. Who is the Author of Authority? The real basis of the question of the ability of local communities to write laws becomes just who is the final author of Authority? Put another way, who has the power to make law, the people in the communities, counties and cities where they live or unreachable legislatures and Presidents residing hundreds and thousands of miles away? Who are backed by huge corporate funding sources, that few can look, touch or feel, yet are called by many to be our representatives for what is best where we live, work and breathe. It is estimated in the United States alone there are some 26 million plus laws, rules, regulations, permits, codes, violations, infractions, et. al., where ignorance of the these laws are not excusable in court and our government schooling never teaches to anyone. And to enact state and federal laws, the powers that be must really on fear, force, coercion, ignorance and threat of being caged to get their laws obeyed. In other words, they demand obedience and compliance, or else coercion and force may be used no matter how amoral, immoral or destructive the laws may be. Is it Legal? Many in Mendocino County are asking about the legality of writing their own laws preempting the power of state and federal law over their county. One answer is provided by the founder of the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF), Thomas Linzey : (CELDF), along with Global Exchange of San Francisco, have been instrumental in providing assistance and guidance across the country to help we the people take back our rights and reclaim our power to decide for ourselves what laws we wish in our communities. For over 14 years they have been active in helping communities pass local ordinances across the nation. Currently there are over 8 states and some 800 communities who have recently passed local ordinances yet it has not been easy. In 2008 and again in 2010, Spokane, Washington tried to pass local ordinances banning corporate power in their city and protection of their waterways but failed by a few percentage votes while being heavily outspent by outside corporate interests. They plan to try again in the next election cycle. In 2008, the City of Mt. Shasta organized and began the process of empowering themselves when they learned that the corporate/state power company for Northern California, Pacific Gas and Electric, was actively spraying the skies above them with toxic chemicals through Geo-engineering. PG E cloud seeding, where the energy giant launches a cannon of silver iodide into passing storm clouds, forces the unnatural release of rain in one location to increase hydroelectric power for increased company profits from their dams. Additionally, Mt. Shasta City citizens attempted to ban water withdrawal from the local aquifers by corporate water bottlers, who were taking water at will from local tributaries. The community wanted to stop these unwanted practices which posed serious environmental damage to their very pristine ecosystem at the base of Mt. Shasta. Measure A had nearly the entire community support and was likely to pass until forces unseen got involved and due to clerical error removed Measure A from the ballot just two weeks before elections. What is highly suspicious about the clerical error was the same city voter registrar who helped the citizens of Mt. Shasta write the legalese language to the measure was also the same person who declared the measure invalid. You can read more about this act of subversion here. Who Will Enforce These New Laws? The next question that invariably comes up about the new local law is who will enforce it? Over the past few years a national organization called the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) was formed to protect the people and their constitutional rights in the communities they serve over state and federal jurisdictions. Among other things, CSPOA makes claim that they are being adherent to the U.S. Constitution and that first, last, and foremost, it is the local sheriffs and community police officers who have final law and protection of its people authority. Just this year, in 2014, CSPOA wrote their own constitution which in part states: The people of these united States are, and have a right to be, free and independent, and these rights are derived from the Laws of Nature and Natures God. As such, they must be free from infringements on the right to keep and bear arms, unreasonable searches and seizures, capricious detainments and infringements on every other natural right whether enumerated or not (source). As of November 4th, 2014, over 650 police officers, sheriffs and public officials have put their signature to the CSPOA constitution. Sheriff Allman, of Mendocino County is a member of CSPOA. Home Invasion? Mendocino County is known for growing medical marijuana and is legal by state and local laws. Most growers pay per plant taxes to county and state for the right to grow weed that helps and heals. This summer, local growers were stunned to see several private, for-hire para military Blackwater type operations swoop down on ropes from helicopters, in full military regalia with guns drawn and no ID badges. They were apparently employees of Lear Asset Management Services and harvested (read stole) peoples crops to presumably sell for profit. Sheriff Allman was at a loss to as to who was doing it and why. To date no arrests have been made and no further disclosure as to who was behind the taking of peoples crops. As Time magazine reported about this action: It is probably not by sheer coincidence that this is happening when states are legalizing medical marijuana across the country and companies like GW Pharmaceuticals are selling marijuana based drugs like Sativex, which is derived from the Sativia strain of the plant that is shown to help with cancer treatments. Probably, and not so coincidentally, the World Health Organization came out this year and stated that cancer was predicted to increase by 70% over just the next couple of decades alone in developed countries and an estimated 100% increase in so called under-developed nations as corporate pharmaceutical companies salivate with future huge profit potentials. (source) Another main component of the ordinance passed is the establishment of a Community Bill of Rights for Mendocino County. Natures Laws and Earths Ways Maybe the most critical and exciting piece of the local ordinance that passed in Mendocino County yesterday was the recognizing the Rights of Nature to exist and flourish. To this day Nature has no legal standing in our courts of law throughout the nation. In 2008, the nation of Ecuador made history when it became the first nation in the world to legally recognize the Rights of Nature as well as language to provide for the long term protection and security of her natural resources over all other interests. Few are aware that our Founding Fathers specifically chose Nature to guide them in their new governance as stated in the very first paragraph, of their very first document, declaring independence from the tyranny of Great Britain: This has been followed by the international expansion of a Rights of Nature legal standing with the creation of a Rights of Nature Tribunal involving many of the worlds most revered environmental activists. They will act as trustees for Natures Rights. Over 850,000 people from 122 countries have now signed petitions advocating for Rights of Nature. (source) In this critical time, where Nature herself is under grave attack from Mans century of transgressions against her, caring people across the planet are actively and passionately beginning to realign themselves with ancient and native peoples by giving the highest respect to the life giving forces of Father Sun and Mother Earth. By taking back our power at the local level we are setting in course actions to arrest the gross degradation of our planet from those in near and far away places who are hell bent to destroy without conscience and who seek only profit and power over all. As We the People once again reclaim our rights to be the legal primary stewards of our soil, air and waters we are reconnecting with the immutable Laws of Nature and Source of all that is. By coming together (to gather) to be the change we all wish to see, we bring hope and show future generations that they too have the power to change what must be changed or our children will have no future to exist and flourish in health, abundance and beauty. If not us, who? If not now, when? Jamie Lee writes for TabuBlog.com where this report first appeared. Expect a visit from a lot of men dressed in black, black helicopters, and black SUVs and MRAP vehicles The Fed will NOT take this lying down. The fed will be taken down Dream on. YES!!! Way to go!! I smell revolution on the horizons. No Revolution, Mendocino County folks are stoned most of the time.. What an idiot. So in your mind people who smoke grass dont care about anything else in the world. Its not heroin you dingbat Your jerkyness is showing. and you are showing that you are delusional. Not only are you making assumptions, you are wrong People who smoke pot dont give a damn about reality, they just claim that they do I made a living putting them in Jail, most of the time to protect them from ass-wipes like you.. Maybe its your turn So you made a living by enforcing the Federal governments tyranny? YOU are the people we despise. You have no problem enforcing unconstitutional laws. I have 2 college degrees (one of them was Criminal Justice/Substance Abuse) and have smoked grass all of my adult life. Just because you go home and swill booze and I puff a little weed instead, you think you are morally superior??? You are a disgrace to everything that is American. You are a sheep that blindly follows orders UNCONSTITUTIONAL orders. Go end your pitiful existance and do America a huge favor Youre just another ignorant brain washed ass. Laws are a man-made construction, an agreement we all make with each other in the hopes of a better life; Enforcing/Obeying laws unworthy of protection are a betrayal of that pact, a shaming of that hope; humans must not be underestimated; we are always striving for a society that meets our ideals and principles. We, nor congress did not vote for a war on drugs; neither we, nor congress did not vote on placing marijuana on schedule 1, while valium, oxycontin, methadone and the like got a free pass for prescription, despite them being unequivocally more dangerous and addictive than weed. In Americas case Liberty, Freedom, Life and Pursuit of Happiness are the founding principles; with that in mind; the current trends of Law will not sustain. One day someone is going to find a better way, and when they do, they are going to shut them down. Nobodies always rises from obscurity and moves, shuffles, and shakes it all up. one large mistake enumerated here the law (The US Constitution) is on their side. Good for you, Mendocimo County! Good luck, and God bless. Quote: In 2008, the nation of Ecuador made history when it became the first Thats a laugh. By 2008 the nation of Ecuador had stripped 95% of its own rain forest, causing the extinction of countless species- many will never be cataloged and are now gone forever. Recognize the rights of nature? There was no long term protection of nature in Ecuador. Too little. Too late. How does this fare with NAU North American Union after all anything superseded here will fall into 2nd place after this. Details should be found on the next Bush aiming for US El Presidenty Jeb Buoy Bush in 2 years time. George didnt sign it off in 2004 for nothing, unless Hillary Redham Clinton gets their first 1st with First and only Woman Presedent http://www.westernjournalism.com/exclusive-investigative-reports/the-mystery-of-barack-obama-continues/ Hillary vs Jeb..that will make you want to flee the countrywhat a nightmare. This caught my eye until I saw the arguments for it: fracking??? The environment? Mom Nature? There are many counties that have something similar to this. Its called home rule thats being replaced with zoning according to the UN one size fits all blueprint (with a little palpable temporary tailoring to fit your county). Thanks to Nixons regionalism of the country, the creation of the EPA and then new revised State constitutions, MT 1972 Preamble revision: We the people of Montana grateful to God for the quiet beauty of our state, the grandeur of our mountains, the vastness of our rolling plains, and desiring to improve the quality of life, equality of opportunity and secure the blessings of liberty for this and future generations do ordain and establish this constitution Again 1972 . Over 40 years ago! Think the plan hasnt been in the working since? Again all the right reasons for a sovereign local constitution; declares local self-governing rights in their communities over state and federal jurisdiction, but wrong arguments: fracking????. The ultimate power is people power. Get everyone armed and organized and you can win against the tyrannical regimes that have enslaved you. It worked for the Bundys. The government is going to seize all the land the Bundys and their ancestors have worked for generations, as well as much of Southern Nevada without putting it before the people of our state. They will be breaking their own law, not that they careit all just a useful sham until it ceases to serve their agenda, anyway. Since old Harry owns adjacent property, you can be sure his personal interests will be served while he screws the people of Nevada. Harrys immediate labeling of the Bundys and their supporters as domestic terrorists worked like a charm. Ammon Bundy and his daughter, flying from Phoenix to Salt Lake for a recent family event, were detained until well after the departure of their flight, due to being on the list. Welcome to the USA, comrade. IT worked for the Bundys,hahaha,yea it did,LIKE HELL,the government is ran by demons from hell,and THATS one truth no one will admit,the US GOVERNMENT can and will murder the entire Bundy family and the GOOD law abiding citizens of america will hand all the police gang terrorists another ,medal for a good job done,and all the good law abiding citizens will be there to clap and yell horey,AND offer their young children to be sacrificed to their god satanin celibration of the death of the Bundy familyAND the same thing will happen to anyone who refuses the MARK OF THE BEAST,so get ready to meet satan america,your trip to HELL cant be prevented by no one but the LORD,and we know you hate him,so kiss your ass goodby..YOUR leaving soon I appreciate the idea that the people of Mendocino County are asserting sovereignty (although this particular application is foolish: there is no serious evidence that fracking causes any harm to aquifers, as it occurs far below the water table). However, as a purely legal matter counties (and municipalities and other subordinate jurisdictions) are creations of the state, and possess only such powers as the state grants them. They are not sovereign entities in any sense, and are completely powerless to overrule the states laws. The argument would be completely different if this were the state acting, as states are sovereign entities and it would have a good argument under the 10th Amendment. But not the county. They will lose on this, and very quickly. Does anyone know which county was the first to pass such a law, as suggested in the second paragraph of this article? Bill, It was Mora County, NM where I live. We have a mostly hispanic population, one of the poorest counties in the state and the country, and we value our land and water highly. Thank you for your reply. I found an article about it in the Green Fire Times, Mora County Community Rights Law: Self-Determination dated 31 May 2013. Very courageous for such a county to confront the oil companies. Any updates? An absolute dumb, inconsequential stupid waste of timethey can vote until they blue in the face, and just because they vote doesnt make it so. Personally, if I would have anything to say in the state of California I would close all roads to this county, employ the national guard and prevent anyone from leaving and entering. Cut all telephone, internet, gas and electric going in and then sit back and enjoy the show. What a bunch of morons. 
3	The New Slavery: Pigs are Tigers and Farmers are FelonsCaleb Hart, Contributor The idea that a slave mentality is still woven into production of food showed up as well in an article referencing the KKK. It describes the similarity between grossly discriminatory laws that were used to remove black voting rights (poll taxes and literacy tests) and the current discriminatory laws that are crushing small food producers (exorbitant certification costs, and irrelevant yet intentionally impossible to achieve food safety standards), and calling the food movement the most significant civil rights (and human rights) movement in history. Using this template of slavery allows the public to recognize the extreme and corrupt measures being taken to remove livestock producers markets, leaving them no means to sell their products other than through the big corporate meat packers, and then at a pittance, reducing independent (free) producers to contract farmers, or tenant famers, on their own land. The current system is without question working to break the back of free farming and ranching. But full-blown slavery* already exists for industrial food animals. Recognizing that reality can help explain a great deal else. They are trapped in concrete and metal prisons known as CAFOs (Confined Animal Feeding Operations), where they are denied both normal movement and their natural diet and are fed GMOs that are linked to organ failure, diseases, and sterility. The point here, is not to focus on those abuses which many groups are addressing now. The point is to see as fully as possible the ways in which the industrial food system is still functioning as it did during slavery, so people will recognize it and it can stop. During slavery, harboring a slave was a felony. Today, the slaves are animals. Knowing two facts that harboring slaves was a felony and that todays animals are the slaves allows the public to look with fresh eyes at what is happening to animals here and around the world. In Michigan, small farmers hogs have been declared wild or feral, and any and all farmers harboring them are now deemed by law to be committing a felony. The hogs in question are not feral but are being raised as part of the farmers small livelihood.Their crime is that those hogs have escaped living in CAFOs. They are off the plantation. They do not eat industrial feed and are cheap to raise. The farmers raising them are growing in numbers because an increasing number of people are seeking just such clean and locally raised meat. The big pork producers in Michigan got laws put on the books to declare the small farmers pigs a danger, acting just the big slave owners did, who had the political power to declare any black person outside of slavery a danger and anyone protecting them a criminal. Today the slaves are animals and they need only be declared a threat, however fictional, to have them destroyed. With them all destroyed, there would remain, of course, only the slave animals owned by the agribusiness. The free hogs are the biologic diversity that the biotech industry wants eliminated just as it has to eliminate the great diversity in seed stocks, as it came forward with its own GE-seeds. It doesnt matter what fear is used to accomplishedthis. If one listens carefully, one can hear, applied to animals, a repetition of old slavery methods used to demonize blacks in order to control or kill them savage, wild, a threat to the genetic stock of white people, filthy, etc. The Department of Natural Resources in Michigan declared small farmers pigs an invasive species. I got ahold of the director of Wildlife Management for the state, and hes actually gone to DNR in Michigan to consult on feral pigs. Feral pigs are an issue for the environment, unquestionably. I just dont understand how they link that to small farmers and pastured animals. Its the fear that they will escape. Or mingle with other wildlife and pick up disease. So I asked, do you think pigs should be on pasture at all? And he replied Hey, the state of Texas wont let me keep tigers. I might be a very conscientious tiger farmer, but the threat to the public is too great, so I dont get to farm tigers. Wow. So pigs (no specified breed, just any farm pig) on pasture are akin to tigers. [Emphasis added. Pigs on pasture are not inside a CAFO, they are not slaves.] . http://vbs20.com/bakers/ The law is to stop pigs being outside or on pasture, a form of freedom. These pigs are living behind fences and are livestock they are not feral. But in being outside or on pasture, they are owned by small farmers and thus are free of the slave system of industrial agriculture. The Government of the state of Michigan has taken action against hog farmers through the unlawful use of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. By means of implementing an unconstitutional ISO (Invasive Species Order); all breeds of swine that are raised outside or on pasture are subject to be depopulated as of April 1st, 2012. Mark Baker, a twenty year Air Force veteran, Roger Turunen, Greg Johnson, and Matt Tingsted are the only remaining hog farmers in Michigan outside of the corporate pork industry who have revolted against this order. Roughly 2,000 farms have been affected and many farmers have been threatened with felony arrest and large fines to massacre their herds of heritage swine.http://vbs20.com/bakers/ The means to slaughter these animals are many, beyond calling them invasive and equating them to tigers. If an agency says animals are suspected of having a disease (they do not have to be proven as such) and wants them destroyed, those harboring the animals to save them and their biologic diversity are declared felons. In a recent case in Canada, a rare breed of Shropshire sheep was slaughtered and farmers accused of felonies, provides a good example. As with plantation owners efforts to catch escaped slaves, fear is used to influence public. The 31 sheep were thought [by authorities] to possibly harbor scrapie, a fatal degenerative disease that can spread among sheep and goats. When 28 sheep were found by Canadian authorities in late June and slaughtered and tested, they were negative for scrapie.[Emphasis added.] And just such a false attack and slaughtering of healthy sheep has happened before. From the Organic Consumers Association: MAD SHEEP (source). . As this twisted and wicked pastoral unfolds, outrage after outrage, it will become increasingly clear that this is not just a tragic case of administrative bungling or faulty science . What we are confronted with in Mad Sheep is a government conspiracy. A politically inspired ritual of fabricated charges, manipulated science, and doctored evidence. A modern witch-hunt to sacrifice the innocent in order to protect the massive profits and scandalous practices of the guilty. A diabolically orchestrated, media-scripted search and destroy operation . designed not just to murder some innocent sheep and thereby exorcize mounting consumer fears . but also to turn us all into sheep, to fan the flames of fear and ignorance, and to foster our continued dependence on an abusive Big Brother government that has promised to protect us from the contemporary terrors that lurk, well, nearly everywhere. . One of the farmers charged is Michael Schmidt, a national leader in standing up for the rights of farmers to produce and sell fresh milk directly to customers. While the media focus has been kept on the milk, the underlying issue for industrial agriculture is that Mr. Schmidt has bypassed the slavery inherent in that system for his animals and himself. He is a free man, milking his cows and trading with those who want the milk. In the following comment, one can recognize in Mr. Schmidts words, the language of thwhat is happeninge abolition movement that provided safe haven for slaves, and Mr. Schmidts awareness of the genetic engineering issue behind In a June video statement in which he compared the targeting and slaughter of the rare sheep to Nazi Germanys genetic engineering, Schmidt gently challenged Canadian authorities over their handling of the case. While denying direct involvement in the affair, he said, I am aware that I as a consequence to my public statement might be subject to an investigation and possible charges related to the sad sheep saga. I am determined to support the brave work of those who have risked their personal safety and security to try to protect those sheep with the hope that conclusive evidence would have been provided by the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) in order to return the sheep for orderly slaughter if found infected or for further testingWhatever will evolve I am honored to be a part of this brave action, as I have taken on the role as liaison for the Farmers Peace Corp. This risking of personal safety to save other living creatures is a direct replay of what people did during abolition, only it is for the lives of animals now. And they offer biodiversity which humanity and nature itself requires to live. Like the abolitionists, the farmers are demanding trials (tests of whether the animals are actually sick). The 1793 Fugitive Slave Act made it a federal crime for any free person to assist a fugitive slave. Slave hunters hired by masters or working in hope of rewards tracked down fugitives and returned them to the South. But many northern states passed laws that overrode or undermined the federal law. They prevented marshals from arresting slaves, and they required that any captured fugitive must have a trial before a jury to determine whether he or she was truly a slave. The pork industry law in Michigan is stamping out biodiversity. Schmidt says: This is insanity, when you look at the issue of genetic diversity, he said of the decision to euthanize the Shropshires. This forceful approach distracts from the issue. In Korea, over three million animals were slaughtered based on an alleged outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease, a disease harmless to humans and something most animals get over in a week. 70,000 military was brought out and hogs were buried alive. What the governments do not want the public to hear is the reality which is entirely non-threatening. The bird and mammalian species took hold on the earth approximately 65 million years ago, i.e. the same time as the dinosaurs went extinct. So did the flu and other viruses of all the surviving species. Since then, all those viruses have been mating and mutating among themselves without the sky caving in due to any infection. Therefore, any talk of a bird or swine flu pandemic with the probability to kill millions of people is either a purposeful or hallucinogenic nonsense to make profit on the backs of the innocent following. Shiv Chopra, microbiologist, veterinarian, and the former food safety scientist at Health Canada who helped stop the approval of rBGH there. Diseases become associated with animals though we have lived with them for millions of years, and the healthiest people in the country are the Amish who are in daily contact with them. The very idea of disease-free animals and disease-free people fuels the appetite for genetic engineering. It decreases our levels of tolerance and resilience. It breeds fear, anxiety and paranoia the kind of fear that is moving the military might of Britain to declare a war against its hoofed inhabitants. This paranoia suits the genetic engineering industry perfectly. By exterminating farm animals, the option of small organic farms is eroded. By creating a fear of disease, a new market is created for Dolly, and Polly and Tracy and all their clones. We should stop this war against farm animals. Without them we will never be able to build a sustainable farming future.Dr Vandana Shiva Genetic engineering means the animals will not even be free to exist as themselves, with their own biology. Their biology not just their every movements and everything they eat will be taken over and controlled. This is perhaps the most intense form of slavery. Laws in the US arranging such mass slaughter are now on the books. If an outbreak is declared (two in the UK were from germ lab leaks), based on international laws put in place by the multinational agribusiness, no proof is needed that an animal is sick, for it and millions of others to be exterminated. And the CDC, which would declare an outbreak is already working on scare tactics, warning people away from county fairs, the heart of life for small farming communities. Pictures of happy kids and animals is supposed to strike fear into people, just as pictures of black people around white children was supposed to during slavery. One is reminded of the CDCs false information on the swine flu in 2009, where 98-99% of the cases they claimed were swine flu in California, were not (most were not even flu of any kind), and attempted to block a CBS investigation. Even as the CDC is warning about danger kids enjoying being around pigs, the CDC itself is not responding to a direct court order to turn over documents involving a danger to all children in the US (in the UK, documents have been turned over) and the US government is proposing some documents be declared non-existent. Animal disease scares such as FMD and swine flu (for example, in Haiti and Egypt) have been used to get rid of small farmers animals, a means of moving toward only slave animals (GE-animals in CAFOs). Avian flu doesnt exist, but it has been used to wipe out the biologic diversity in poultry across Asia. Small farmers with free range chickens of many kinds, lost their animals and laws were put in place favoring the slavery conditions of the big multinational poultry plantations. The chickens living in cities now, beloved by families, and free of the horrific slave conditions of the giant poultry houses, are sitting ducks for the declaration of avian flu and orders to exterminate perfectly healthy animals to the benefit of industrial ag. Families harboring chickens would be declared felons for threatening the public health, for a non-existent disease. Children hiding their healthy chicks would be criminals. Once one appreciates that the industrial food system has been based from the beginning in slavery, and that animals are the new slaves. A great deal become clear. Free animals must be gotten rid of and those trying to save them and our common heritage in biodiversity must be branded as felons. Those protecting the pigs, sheep, and other animals, and their crucial biologic diversity for everyone, are functioning just as people did during slavery, risking their own freedom to protect blacks seeking their own. Our farmers are part of a new anti-slavery movement. Saving the animals, means saving our freedom of food, sustainable agriculture, and ultimately ourselves.

3	Obamacare: here come the toxic psychiatristsJon Rappoport A recent Washington Post article parroted the usual unscientific statistic on numbers of people in America with mental disorders: 20% of all adults have experienced a mental-health issue. Propaganda focuses heavily on children, with claims that half of all mental-health disorders first show up before a person turns 14. Three-quarters of mental-health disorders begin before 24. But less than 20% of children and adolescents with mental disorders receive the treatment they need. Obamacare has an essential list of services, and mental-health treatment is one of them. You can be sure the targeting of children will expand. More and more children will be brought into the system and receive diagnoses of mental disorders and the toxic drugs psychiatrists routinely prescribe. More kids will be screened for depression and undergo behavioral assessments. The influence of psychiatry in young childrens lives is going to expand beyond anything weve yet seen. America is going to experience another sea change: the medicalization of childrens behavior will blanket the country. First of all, as Ive established many times, NO so-called mental disorder is defined scientifically. There are no physical diagnostic tests: no blood tests, no urine tests, no saliva tests, no genetic tests, no brain-scan tests. If there were, you would find them in the DSM, the bible of the psychiatric profession, which lists the, yes, 300 mental disorders. In a PBS Frontline interview, during the episode called Does ADHD Exist?, Russell Barkley, professor of psychiatry and neurology at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, was asked about the lack of a blood test for ADHD. He made this extraordinary statement: Thats tremendously nave, and it shows a great deal of illiteracy about science and about the mental health professions. A disorder doesnt have to have a blood test to be valid. If that were the case, all mental disorders would be invalid. There is no lab test for any mental disorder right now in our science.That doesnt make them invalid. Dr. Barkley has his own definition of science. If, say, physics surrendered the need for physical tests, it could claim the sun revolves around the Earth, all oceans end in steep cliffs, and unexplored forests automatically contain dragons. But psychiatry is different. Committees of men can assemble lists of behaviors and call them disorders. 300 and counting. This is why all assessments of numbers of people who have mental disorders are useless. The disorders themselves are arbitrarily concocted. But there are very serious consequences: drugs and more drugs. When it comes to their toxicity and behavioral effects, I recommend several sources. The website SSRI storiespresents a number of studies of the SSRI antidepressants (e.g., Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft). Consult the work of Dr. Peter Breggin, David Healy, and Robert Whitaker. Read Breggins essential book,Toxic Psychiatry. Here is important information about one psychiatric drug: Ritalin. In 1986, The International Journal of the Addictions published a most important literature review by Richard Scarnati. It was called An Outline of Hazardous Side Effects of Ritalin (Methylphenidate) [v.21(7), pp. 837-841]. Scarnati listed a large number of adverse affects of Ritalin and cited published journal articles which reported each of these symptoms. For every one of the following (selected and quoted verbatim) Ritalin effects, there is at least one confirming source in the medical literature: Ritalin and other speed-type drugs are given to kids who are slapped with the ADHD label. Speed, sooner or later, produces a crash. This is easy to call clinical depression. Then comes Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft. These drugs can produce temporary highs, followed by more crashes. The psychiatrist notices the up and down patternand then produces a new diagnosis of Bipolar (manic-depression) and prescribes other drugs, including Valproate and Lithium. (To see some of the toxic and dangerous effects of these two drugs, read my article, The lying liars who lie about psychiatry.) In the US alone, there are at least 300,000 cases of motor brain damage incurred by people who have been prescribed so-called anti-psychotic drugs (aka major tranquilizers). Source: Toxic Psychiatry, Dr. Peter Breggin, St. Martins Press, 1991 This psychiatric drug plague is accelerating across the land. Under Obamacare, with psychiatry firmly placed on a par with other branches of medical practice, the plague is going to spread further, as previously uninsured people enter the system. At the website, SSRI stories, you can also read numerous reports of antidepressants links to violent behavior, including suicide and homicide. The correlation is not meant to establish a perfect causative chain, but the shocking number of incidents is more than suggestive. After commenting on some of the adverse effects of the antidepressant drug Prozac, psychiatrist Peter Breggin notes, From the initial studies, it was also apparent that a small percentage of Prozac patients became psychotic. Paxil and Zoloft are in the same class of drug as Prozac. Prozac, in fact, endured a rocky road in the press for a time. Stories on it rarely appear now. The major media have backed off. But on February 7th, 1991, Amy Marcus Wall Street Journal article on the drug carried the headline, Murder Trials Introduce Prozac Defense. She wrote, A spate of murder trials in which defendants claim they became violent when they took the antidepressant Prozac are imposing new problems for the drugs maker, Eli Lilly and Co. Also on February 7, 1991, the New York Times ran a Prozac piece headlined, Suicidal Behavior Tied Again to Drug: Does Antidepressant Prompt Violence? In his landmark book, Toxic Psychiatry, Dr. Breggin mentions that the Donahueshow (Feb. 28, 1991) put together a group of individuals who had become compulsively self-destructive and murderous after taking Prozac and the clamorous telephone and audience response confirmed the problem. Breggin also cites a troubling study from the February 1990 American Journal of Psychiatry (Teicher et al, v.147:207-210) which reports on six depressed patients, previously free of recent suicidal ideation, who developed intense, violent suicidal preoccupations after 2-7 weeks of fluoxetine [Prozac] treatment. The suicidal preoccupations lasted from three days to three months after termination of the treatment. The report estimates that 3.5 percent of Prozac users were at risk. While denying the validity of the study, Dista Products, a division of Eli Lilly, put out a brochure for doctors dated August 31, 1990, stating that it was adding suicidal ideation to the adverse events section of its Prozac product information. An earlier study, from the September 1989 Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, by Joseph Lipiniski, Jr., indicates that in five examined cases people on Prozac developed what is called akathesia. Symptoms include intense anxiety, inability to sleep, the jerking of extremities, and bicycling in bed or just turning around and around. Breggin comments that akathesia may also contribute to the drugs tendency to cause self-destructive or violent tendencies Akathesia can become the equivalent of biochemical torture and could possibly tip someone over the edge into self-destructive or violent behavior The June 1990 Health Newsletter, produced by the Public Citizen Research Group, reports, Akathesia, or symptoms of restlessness, constant pacing, and purposeless movements of the feet and legs, may occur in 10-25 percent of patients on Prozac. The well-known publication, California Lawyer, in a December 1998 article called Protecting Prozac, details some of the suspect maneuvers of Eli Lilly in its handling of suits against Prozac. California Lawyer also mentions other highly qualified critics of the drug: David Healy, MD, an internationally renowned psychopharmacologist, has stated in sworn deposition that contrary to Lillys view, there is a plausible cause-and-effect relationship between Prozac and suicidal-homicidal events. An epidemiological study published in 1995 by the British Medical Journal also links Prozac to increased suicide risk. When pressed, proponents of these SSRI drugs sometimes say, Well, the benefits for the general population far outweigh the risk, or, Maybe in one or two tragic cases the dosage prescribed was too high. But the problem will not go away on that basis. A shocking review-study published in The Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases (1996, v.184, no.2), written by Rhoda L. Fisher and Seymour Fisher, called Antidepressants for Children, concludes: Despite unanimous literature of double-blind studies indicating that antidepressants are no more effective than placebos in treating depression in children and adolescents, such medications continue to be in wide use. In wide use. This despite such contrary information and the negative, dangerous effects of these drugs. Under Obamacare, mental-health professionals are looking forward to a much larger piece of the treatment pie. Huge numbers of previously uninsured people, including vulnerable children, will now move under the psychiatric umbrella, and their futures are at extreme risk. Psychiatry has deeply troubling similarities to the Surveillance State. It profiles people and labels them. However, it then treats them with highly toxic and dangerous drugs. In the wake of recent mass killings, Obama has shown his preference for psychiatric treatment in a number of statements. Hes also launched the so-called brain mapping project, which aims to detect more mental problems that need fixing by drugs and other invasive methods, and hes promised to establish new community mental-health centers across the nation. This, taken together with Obamacare, signals a catastrophe, and spells out the need for public resistance.

3	Suspicious? DNC Staffer in Charge of Voter Expansion Data Murdered in D.C.By Melissa Dykes But what is really going on behind the scenes? Is something big going down inside the DNC? A high-level Democratic National Committee staff member, Seth Rich, was gunned down by unknown assailants near his home in Washington, D.C. while reportedly walking home at 4 a.m. As the Washington Post noted: Seth Rich made such an impression as a teenage intern in Nebraska that a U.S. Senate campaign hired him before he completed high school. A young man who dreamed politics, he headed to Capitol Hill after college. . He wanted to make a difference, Joel Rich said of the younger of his two sons. Politics was in his blood. He called his sons killing a waste. DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz gave condolences for a staff member described as being from a prominent Jewish family that she appears to have known personally: Seth Rich was a dedicated, selfless public servant who worked tirelessly to protect the most sacred right we share as Americans, said Wasserman Schultz. He was a joy to have as a member of our team, and his talents, intelligence and enthusiasm will be deeply missed by many friends, colleagues and co-workers who worked by his side in service to the highest ideals of our democracy. Tragic. And apparently senseless. But what really happened? Was a high-level DNC staffer really just killed in a random robbery attempt in the middle of the night, coincidentally months before the 2016 election, which has been a lightning rod for controversy? It is simply hard to believe in coincidence. The real question, then, is: what did he know? All we know so far is that this 27year old was in charge of voter expansion data and had something to do with a program that tapped into the nationwidedatabaseof registeredvoters. According to the Washington Post: After graduating in 2011, Rich was quickly hired by a national polling company and moved to the District. Two years later, he went to the Democratic National Committee, where he worked on the development of a computer program that allows people to enter their names and have maps drawn to their polling places. It required data culled from every voter precinct in the country. Given that it is election year 2016, and every sneaky thing in the world is going on, one has to wonder if there was something that needed to be covered up in the voter rostersor registration process. It calls to mind the tragic death a top Republican IT guru who died in a suspicious plane crash back in 2008 allbecause he seemed to know quite a bit about how electronic voting machines worked. 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.

1	With their continued investment in projects aimed at reaching out to the 14-year-old inner-city resident, the nations marketers are the last group of people in the country still trying to get through to local child Derek Crawford, sources confirmed Wednesday. As they strive to understand the concerns of the boy and have an influence on the decisions he makes as he grows older, marketing professionals across the U.S. have reportedly demonstrated more interest in Crawford than any teacher, social worker, policymaker, nonprofit organization, or government agency has during his entire life. It is imperative that we put ourselves in this kids shoes and get a real sense of what his life is like, said Peter Bennett, chief strategist at Brooks, Bennett, & Mills, a New York firm that has helped market Samsung mobile phones, Monster Energy drinks, and numerous video game consoles, as he presided over a meeting dedicated to learning as much as possible about Crawford and his peers. We believe there is a lot of potential among these urban youths, and wed be wasting an incredible opportunity if we didnt figure out how to connect with them. We need to do whatever is necessary to make this happen. If we dont learn to speak the same language as kids like this, were really going to regret it, he continued. This is vitally important. According to sources, Crawfords local school board and his states department of education havent found an effective way to make much of an impression upon him, though top marketing experts are said to be constantly innovating new means of relating to the boy and his fellow eighth-graders. Many marketing professionals said they have endured long marathon conference calls and 12-hour workdays as they attempt to brainstorm a variety of strategies for reaching the child, knowing their jobs are on the line if they fail. While no one in the Housing Authority of Kansas City or at any level of the state or local government knows who the young public housing resident is or could even say with confidence where he lives, marketing firms have reportedly devoted enough resources to know precisely which area of the city he inhabits, his favorite music, how he spends his free time, which athletes he looks up to, his preferred soda flavors, the TV shows he watches, and the websites he visits. Similarly, sources said, the marketers have access to far more data than educators do on where Crawford is and what he is doing on the days when he is absent from school. In addition, TapSource Partners, a small marketing group in Los Angeles representing major soft drink and snack clients, confirmed that in its efforts to forge a lasting connection with Crawford, it had spent 10 times as much money as every after-school program, outreach organization, and social service provider in the young teenagers community. Were investing in this kid now, because we understand that children like him represent the future, said Bennett, who, together with others in the marketing business, controls more funding and conducts more research on students than the U.S. Department of Education. If we can get through to them now, we can have a major impact on the rest of their lives. He added, These kids are very, very valuable to us. 
1	According to economic experts, local man and complete reject Dale Everett, 37, remains 100 percent unaffected by the dramatic ups and downs of the American stock market. 'No matter what sort of calamity befalls Wall Street, this total failure of a man remains exactly, and happily, the same as he was before,' said market analyst Ben Tanaka, who since 2008 has developed high-blood pressure and a stomach ulcer from worrying about the financial crisis. 'As long as he has money for rent, cable, and food, which he usually does, he is fine. I have to say, I kind of envy the loser.' Tanaka added that unless there was suddenly a 550 percent nationwide spike in the price of beer, Everett's condition would likely continue on without change. 
2	Obama Fired This Top Navy Officer For An Unthinkable Reason According to recent reports, President Obama has been firing military officers who are speaking out against the administration and revealing the truth about what is happening with our government. Such was the case with Capt. James Fanell, a senior Navy intelligence leader who was relieved from his position after he revealed provocative information about China. We believe that Peoples Liberation Army has been given the new task to be able to conduct a short, sharp war to destroy Japanese forces in the East China Sea following with what can be expected as a seizure of the Senkakus or even southern Ryuku, Fanell revealed. If true, some believe those actions could lead to World War III. However, Pentagon brass claims that this information is contrary to their goal of building ties with the Chinese Navy. Shortly after making his comments, Fanell was revealed from his position as an intelligence director. He was reassigned to an aid at PACFLTs maritime headquarters. What do you think? Do you support Fanell for exposing the truth? 
1	Saying they felt a duty to reveal what truly transpired on September 11, 2001, numerous high-ranking federal officials announced publicly Tuesday that the United States government was responsible for destroying just the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Representatives from the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, and half a dozen other government bureaus revealed at a morning press conference that they were responsible for the development, funding, and execution of a plan to take down 1 World Trade Center in New Yorks Financial District. Describing their mission as an unqualified success, officials noted that the completion of their objective was followed 17 minutes later by a separate suicide attack on 2 World Trade Center by al-Qaeda operatives piloting a hijacked airliner. The American people deserve to know that, of the two towers that were brought down in Lower Manhattan on 9/11, only one was the target of the federal government, said CIA spokesman Tom McLennan, emphasizing that their carefully guarded plot was a wholly independent event planned without any foreknowledge of the similar act of terrorism designed by al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden for the same day. While we freely admit our culpability in striking the first building, let us be clear that we had no hand in destroying the other tower. In fact, that was just as shocking and devastating to us as it was to all American citizens. Aside from our controlled implosion of Tower No. 1, we can assure the public that the September 11 attacks were carried out by Islamic radicals as part of their war against the West, McLennan added. According to recently declassified intelligence briefings and memos, FBI agents began making nighttime deliveries of thousands of pounds of RDX explosives to the World Trade Center in January 2001 as part of the first phase of what government officials dubbed Operation North Tower. Detailed schematics confirm that the charges were placed within Tower No. 1 according to an Army Corps of Engineers demolition plan designed to take down the 1,368-foot-tall skyscraper without damaging any of the surrounding structures, including the adjacent Tower No. 2. In what they described as the most logical cover for their plan to bring down one of the Twin Towers, government officials then outlined their process of guiding a commercial airliner into the building via remote control. Military leaders assured American citizens that while they, in fact, had deployed a black-ops team to Bostons Logan Airport the night of September 10, 2001 to plant the RC transponder on a single West Coast-bound flight, the aircraft that crashed into 2 World Trade Center the next morning was flown solely by jihadists about whom they had no prior knowledge. The nations leaders also reiterated throughout the briefing that the Mossad agents who initially proposed the plan to the U.S. did not have any involvement in the attack on the South Tower either. No one had any idea who was controlling that other plane. We were celebrating quite a bit after our successful strike, but when the second one hit it pretty much silenced the entire Pentagon Command Center. By ordering NORAD to deactivate the nations air defenses on 9/11 we succeeded in clearing a path to Manhattan for our plane, but this apparently created a window of opportunity for five al-Qaeda operatives who, ostensibly, departed on another aircraft just a few minutes after our plane did, said NSA officer Will Mason, adding that FAA leaders were instructed to delay reporting the radio-controlled airliners deviations from its flight path that morning, but immediately began panicking once they noticed the similar behavior of a second aircraft. No one had any idea who was controlling that other plane. We were celebrating quite a bit after our successful strike, but when the second one hit it pretty much silenced the entire Pentagon Command Center. Obviously, had we been aware that the South Tower was going to be hit, we would have given all Jewish workers advance notice to stay out of that building as well, he added. Officials then explained how, on that Tuesday morning, President George W. Bush was quietly informed by an aide during an elementary school appearance that the plan had been carried out with precision, only to be notified just minutes later that the United States was under attack. The scripts we had given every major news anchor were pretty much useless after that second impact, said CIA agent Donald Macy, noting that the highly orchestrated misinformation campaign they had crafted over 10 months only made sense within the original context of one building being targeted. After that point, any confusion was beyond our doing. Overall, I would say the majority of the terror experienced by the nation that day was caused by somebody other than the U.S. government, he continued. We were only behind about half of that. Admitting that there were several major unexpected turns that day, those behind the governments attack maintained that, regardless of the coincidence, they still achieved the long-term results they ultimately wanted. 
3	Tsunami Strikes Fukushima, Knocking Nuclear Reactors Cooling System OfflineBy Claire Bernish Initial reports from the U.S. Geological Survey estimated the quake at magnitude 7.3, but has since revised the number to M 6.9 still a powerful temblor by any definition and was felt even in Tokyo, nearly 150 miles to the southwest of the epicenter. dotemirates (@dotemirateseng) November 21, 2016 The Japan Meteorological Agency has held to the 7.3 magnitude intensity of the quake. According to reports, the earthquake struck at a depth of around six miles, and was centered just 12 miles off the coast of Iwaki City in the Fukushima prefecture. Alarm sirens blared shortly afterward and residents were urged to evacuate immediately as a tsunami moved quickly toward the coast. E (@esheikh_) November 21, 2016 Although the largest tsunami wave was estimated to be approximately 3 feet (90 cm) in height by comparison, the 2011 tsunami dwarfed that, between 60 and 100 feet tall (18 to 27 meters) unconfirmed reports from Japans public broadcasting network, NHK, claimed the cooling system at TEPCOs Number 3 reactor in the Fukushima nuclear facility had been knocked offline. Although TEPCO initially denied that claim, it has since stated that cooling system did, indeed, shut down, however, it plans to have the system operational as soon as possible. According to NHK, cooling equipment for the spent nuclear fuel pool in the reactor No. 3 of Tepcos Fukushima No. 2 power plant has stopped. The Japan Times (@japantimes) November 21, 2016 That cooling system is essential to prevent nuclear fuel rods from exploding as happened in the 2011 earthquake and subsequent tsunami. robert garcia (@robertgarcia223) November 21, 2016 Original reports in Japan warned the tsunami could reach as high as 10 feet and although waves hitting the coast have been much smaller, the government warned residents further waves might still be on the way. CNBC reported TEPCO has claimed no damage to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility however, it would be worth noting, the company has been exposed for a pattern of mendacity and suppression about the extent of the damage the plant incurred in 2011. Power blackouts have been reported in the area. Workers at Fukushima Daiichi were evacuated along with residents in the area, according to a TEPCO spokesperson cited by CNBC. A fire has been reported inside a chemical factory in Iwaki City, though that has not been confirmed. An Iwaki city fire dept official said there was smoke or fire at Kurehas research center in a petrochemical complex in Iwaki city at 6:17 a.m., but it was extinguished at 6:40 a.m. Other details were not clear, he said, adding that no other major damage in the city has been reported at the moment, CNBC reported. Ships in ports in the tsunami warning zone quickly moved out to sea to avoid being knocked into the coast and being damaged by the tidal waves. Live footage of the incoming waves amid the piercing tsunami warning sirens echoed the images five years ago on a far smaller scale and this event is the largest alarm and evacuation effort since that time. New Zealand and Hawai`i were not under threat of a tsunami from this quake. This is a developing story and will be updated as needed. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. What could possibly go wrong by building a Dirty reactor on a fault line on an earthquake prone geophysical location immediately adjacent to the ocean directly over a contiguous water table relatively close to a megalopolis such as Tokyo?. then another earthquake hits the same relative area of a man-made volcanoJapans one only Mt.Fukushimastill belching uncontrolled amounts of highly radioactive hot particles into the air dumped like a waterfall into the Pacific Ocean ever since the Event consequent Tsunami with a suspicious Hydrogen Mushroom Cloud[sic](security under the aegis of an Israeli corporation ie:stuxnet?)

Its an ELE (Extinction Level Event) that will kill the Pacific and eventually all our oceans. Humanity does not have the technology to solve this (bankster-caused) problem. Well need divine or extraterrestrial intervention if We are to survive. They idiots built it in a tsunami pathway! Take it down! Have they been able to turn the reactor cooling system back on since it turned off after the Nov 21 quake? 
3	Indigo Children, Star Seeds and Crystal Children: Writing ContestHenny van Erp Taalman Kip My Guardian Angel spoke to me at that time and told me it wasnt my time to go. Strangely enough she let me breathe under water, giving me the chance to walk to the surface again and live my life. After that experience my sensitivity of the world around me and the people living in it, became very diffusing in a way that I noticed the lies and the masks a lot of people were dragging around. The whole world seemed to be a big lie! The only thing was, nobody else saw it, but me. Was I going mad or were my feelings telling me the truth? This went going on my whole life. It was a lonely journey because nobody else could explain it to me otherwise, so I kept those secrets to myself because I didnt want to end up in a mental hospital. At times I looked with tears in my eyes from above our planet and noticed the destruction of our Mother Earth which was very hurtful in my teenage years. I was literally ashamed to be human and nobody else could understand those feelings. Somehow, at different periods in my life, those from above showed me time and time again that I was not alone, and that there was really something going on beyond our visual world. Step by step they showed me more over the years. Not only paranormal experiences like telepathy, ghosts, high sensitive intuition, other near death experiences, guardian angels and so on, but also a lot of friendly UFOs which started in July 2006 with the peak in the year of 2010. I understand by now, that the ones from above made me ready for 2012, the time of my purpose in life, the time of breaking the lies and creating new consciousness! At this time the others like me are awakening, and a whole lot of children were and are born this way nowadays. The Indigo children, Star seeds and Crystal children, or whatever they are calling us, are starting to recognize each other. We all have a need to change this world into a better place and we all resist doctrine and propaganda techniques. David Icke is one of them, and the first one to spit it all out loud without any restrictions! Sadly enough a lot of those children are thrown in a variety of so called personality disorders like ADD, ADHD and so on and on. Medicated with hard drugs like Ritalin and losing their souls slowly with the use of it. Finally after all those years it became clear to me: The purpose of my life is to guide those children, and let them understand who they are. But most of all: Bringing consciousness to their parents, teachers and caretakers. Just to prevent those children from falling further away from their being and guide them to their purpose: After all, they have to clean up our mess 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.

1	Augusta National, home of the Masters Tournament, honored 1997 Masters champion Tiger Woods Monday, giving him his own drinking fountain at the prestigious country club. Tiger Woods, 1997 Masters champion, was honored by Augusta National officials with his own separate, clearly labeled fountain. 'Tiger, for your historic achievement, setting an all-time Masters Tournament record, we present you with this beautiful, specially designated drinking fountain,' said Augusta National president Gary Brewer. 'All other golfers will drink from a different fountain, which you, as an honored champion, will have no need to use.' The new fountain, clearly labeled 'Tiger Woods,' will be located behind the outhouse between the 16th and 17th holes, far away from the distractions of other golfers. 'With your win, you join an elite group of Masters champions, including Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus,' Brewer said. 'We are confident that, as golf's next great and someone we will likely be seeing a lot more of in the future, you will honor and obey their legacies. We have no doubt that, as they did before you, you will remain well-behaved and respectful of Augusta's traditions.' Woods' fellow golfers are equally impressed with the 21-year-old sensation. 'Rarely does a new golfer come along who is so different from the rest,' said 1992 Masters winner Fred Couples. 'He is not at all like us.' Augusta officials stressed that Woods is a valuable addition to the prestigious course's lofty ranks and has never, to the best of their knowledge, been convicted of a felony. Additional honors were bestowed upon the Masters champion when Augusta announced a special new security squad, which will monitor Woods at all times during his visits to the club. 'It is important to us that Augusta members feel secure in the knowledge that Tiger Woods is fully protected and supervised while golfing here,' Brewer said. With his Masters win, Woods will also enjoy unlimited, lifetime use of the Augusta National course. 'Tiger is welcome to enjoy his championship privileges here at Augusta any time he wants,' Brewer said, 'provided we are given enough advance notice to alert and reschedule other golfers in order to best accommodate him.' Brewer added that there are many less-exclusive public courses near Augusta that offer excellent golfing, and encouraged Woods to patronize these as well, in order to maximize his golfing variety and enjoyment. In addition to the fountain, Woods will receive his own dining area, locker room and personal entrance at the rear of the Augusta clubhouse. 
3	Huge Trouble Is Percolating Just Under The Surface Of The Global EconomyMichael Snyder Even though things may seem to be okay on the surface for the global economy at the moment, that does not mean that big trouble is not percolating just under the surface. On Wednesday, investors cheered as stocks soared to new highs, but almost all of the economic news coming in from around the planet has been bad. The credit rating on Greek debt has been slashed again, global economic trade is really slowing down, and many of the exact same financial patterns that we saw just before the crash of 2008 are repeating once again. All of this reminds me of the months leading up to the implosion of Lehman Brothers. Most people were feeling really good about things, but huge trouble was brewing just underneath the surface. Finally, one day we learned that Lehman Brothers had suddenly collapsed, and then all hell broke loose. If the economy is actually getting better like we are being told by the establishment media, then why are so many big companies declaring bankruptcy? According to CNBC, the number of publicly traded companies declaring bankruptcy has hit a five-year high Plunging prices of crude oil and other commodities is one of the major reasons for the increased filings, and bankruptcy experts said a more aggressive stance by lenders may also be hurting some companies. It is interesting to note that the price of oil is being named as one of the primary reasons why this is happening. In an article entitled Anyone That Believes That Collapsing Oil Prices Are Good For The Economy Is Crazy, I warned about this. If the price of oil does not bounce back in a huge way, we are going to see a lot more companies go bankrupt, a lot more people are going to lose their jobs, and a lot more corporate debt is going to go bad. And of course this oil crash has not just hurt the United States. All over the world, economic activityis being curtailed because of what has happened to the price of oil Now that oil prices have dropped by half to $50 a barrel, Saudi Arabia and other commodity-rich nations are fast drawing down those petrodollar reserves. Some nations, such as Angola, are burning through their savings at a record pace, removing a source of liquidity from global markets. If oil and other commodity prices remain depressed, the trend will cut demand for everything from European government debt to U.S. real estate as producing nations seek to fill holes in their domestic budgets. But it isnt just oil. We appear to be moving into a time when things are slowing down all over the place. In a recent article,Zero Hedge summarized some of the bad economic news that has come in just this week If we are indeed heading into another economic downturn, that is really bad news, because at the moment we are in far worse shape than we were just prior to the last recession. To help illustrate this, I want to share with you a couple of charts. This first chart comes from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, and it shows that after you adjust for inflation, median income for the middle class is the lowest that it has beenin decades We are also getting some very disturbing economic news out of China. In 2014, economic growth in China was the weakest in more than 20 years, and Chinese export numbers are absolutely collapsing Imports meanwhile fell 12.3% in yuan terms compared to forecasts for a fall of more than 11%. This is a clear sign that global economic activity is slowing down in a big way. In addition, Chinese home prices are now falling at a faster pace then U.S. home prices fellduring the subprime mortgage meltdown Reuters reported that average new home prices in Chinas 70 major cities fell 5.7 percent, year to year, in February marking the sixth consecutive drop after Januarys decline of 5.1 percent. Things continue to get worse in Europe as well. This week we learned that the credit rating for Greek government debthas been slashed once again And according tothe Financial Times, we could actually be on the verge of witnessing a Greek debt default So I hope that those that are euphoric about the performance of their stock portfolios are taking their profits while they still can. Huge trouble is percolating just under the surface of the global economy, and it wont be too long before the financial markets start feeling the pain.

2	Obama And Hillary Were Just Caught Doing Something Absolutely Sickening According to recent reports, rumors have been on the rise that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama may have had more going on in their relationship than met the eye. Sources close to Clinton claim that she was turned on about her position as Secretary of State, but that they dont think she ever crossed the line with the President. I think were finally getting along, President Obama said in response to rumors that the two were caught goosing at a recent event. The comment could not have gone over well with Michelle Obama. To make matters more interesting, it appears that former President Clinton then invited Michelle to share a cigar with him. This is exactly the kind of behavior that the American people were offended by during Bills presidency. Do we have to suffer through four years of this? Senator John McCain asked, before feigning sleep. What do you think of Hillarys relationship with Obama? Are they criminals at best, and adulterers at worst? 
3	Feds Lose Audits for Fort Knox GoldBy The Resident If they cant find the reports, maybe there is no gold. If no gold, maybe they can shut that military installation down on the next round of base closures. How about firing all of congress and those n the white house? That would save a bunch. Think of all the freeloaders we would be rid if. If it turns out there is no Gold in Fort Knox, then we will have the necessary proof that a national currency should be entirely fiat and all the myths of an imaginary value somehow backing a national currency should be dismissed as what they are nonsensical myths. Here is the proper use for Gold : Hes smarter than you, though! You may be right, Bill They should check in the vaults under Tel Aviv. Once the natives realize their God has been stolen, they might get restless. Theres been no gold in there for decades now. The only accurate and relevant comment so far. We truly have become a seriously dumbed down nation. A PEOPLE DESERVE ANY REGIME THEY ENDURE

1	Citing subtle notes of ethambutol and clindamycin, longtime McDonalds customer Chris Hingle reported Thursday that he could discern from the taste of his McChicken sandwich a definite change in the antibiotics the fast food giant uses in its poultry. This tastes way less ciprofloxacin-y than the McChicken did a year ago, Hingle stated after two bites of the crispy dollar-menu item. Its good and all, but I really wish theyd bring back the old macrolide blend with the dirithromycin and troleandomycin. Thats the taste I grew up with. Hingle later added that the Wendys restaurant chain seriously needs to find a better thickening and gelling agent if it hopes to sell him another Frosty. 
2	Hispanic Student Bans Whites From Using This Racist Term According to Dartmouth College, using the word fiesta is racist. The debate started when two Greek houses on campus planned to sponsor an event for Cinco de Mayo, with the them Phiesta. Although the event has now been cancelled, it would have included a live band, pia coladas, strawberry daiquiris, burritos, chips, salsa, and guacamole. Daniela Hernandez, a junior student, was offended by the theme and decided to speak up. She views the fraternity and sororitys event as an affront to Mexican culture. Hernandez claims that the Americanization of Cinco de Mayo and its construction as a drinking holiday in the United States, cultural appropriation and the inappropriate usage of cultural clothing, and the exploitation of groups of people and cultures for the sake of business opportunities is offensive. What do you think? Is celebrating Cincode Mayo and using the word fiesta racist? 
1	Since starting college at the University of Kansas in the fall, freshman Kirk Vanderkamp has been cycling through personal identities at a breakneck pace, Hamilton Hall sources reported Monday. Vanderkamp on Oct. 23, three days before he discovered Jay-Z. 'It's really unnerving to watch,' said Eric Yusef, resident assistant on the 6-West wing where Vanderkamp lives. 'You never know what he's going to be wearing when he steps out of that dorm room. Since September, I've seen him in everything from head-to-toe FUBU sweats and a chain to a tie-dyed shirt and a fringed leather jacket.' While students tend to experiment with various identities during their college years, Vanderkamp's peers said the accelerated pace of his process of self-discovery is alarming. Since the beginning of the fall term, Vanderkamp has aligned himself with no fewer than nine social groups, and has adopted a new wardrobe and a distinct set of speech patterns to accompany each identity. Those close to Vanderkamp said he started his freshman year in typical fashion: He spent his time binge-drinking, making out with girls, and attending parties at fraternities. According to Yusef, after only two weeks as a 'frat-guy wannabe,' Vanderkamp slipped into the second of his many identities. 'Almost right away, Kirk met one of the stoners on second floor,' Yusef said. 'Within 24 hours, he went from the average, squared-away frat dude to the frat dude who smokes pot and has shaggy hair. For a while, he was sorta straddling the line.' Added Yusef: 'But when he started wearing those round, John Lennon glasses, you could tell the shift was complete.' Throughout the rest of September, Vanderkamp cycled through a series of variations on the stoner persona. 'I almost feel bad for introducing him to weed,' said Tim Hiller, Vanderkamp's friend. 'After meeting my friend Sky, Kirk started talking about dropping out of school and joining a Buddhist monastery. Of course, a couple days later, he also said he was going to learn to play bass and get a jam band together. He said the monks would be cool about it.' Added Hiller: 'I stopped hanging out with him around then.' According to Hiller, Vanderkamp took another sharp turn in mid-October, when he turned into a 'white hip-hop kid.' 'I bumped into him, and he was nearly unrecognizable,' Hiller said. 'He was dressed in low-slung jeans and this shiny red jacket. I didn't know who it was until he said, 'Yo, Hills! Wussup?' He even had his hair in cornrows. He said he'd stopped hanging with us because we listened to 'that Grateful Dead shiznit.'' Vanderkamp was soon spotted freestyling 'off the top of [his] dome' and performing spoken-word pieces at Java Java, a local coffee shop. By early November, Vanderkamp had shed the hip-hop persona and shifted from writing spoken-word poetry on napkins to spending hours scribbling his first novel in a leather-bound journal. Yusef said he assumed Vanderkamp's transition from 'gangbanger to tortured artist' resulted from his exposure to the customers at Java Java. 'Luckily, I didn't even have to talk to Kirk the last time I saw him,' Yusef said. 'He was so involved in this worn-out copy of On The Road that he didn't even notice me.' 'I saw that, along with his blazer and scarf, he was wearing those John Lennon glasses again,' Yusef added. 'At least he's thrifty.' With a few weeks left in the fall semester, peers speculate that Vanderkamp will change personas at least once more. The top contenders for his next identity include sports enthusiast, raver kid, and motivated careerist. 'Those are all good guesses,' Yusef said. 'But you have to remember, we're coming up on Hanukkah. Some people don't know this, but Kirk's Jewish. My money says he's going to be one of those guys who gets serious about his Jewish heritage. He's totally going to start wearing a yarmulke and keeping kosher. Either that, or film nerd.'

3	The NSA Actually Has A Program Called SKYNET -- And It Might Be Labeling Innocent People As TerroristsBy Claire Bernish The NSAs SKYNET is a program that surveils phone metadata in order to track suspected terrorists. Through SKYNET, the security agency engages in mass surveillance of Pakistans mobile phone network, affecting 55 million people but thats not all. Once the data is gathered, its run through a machine learningalgorithm that attempts to rate whether a particular individual is more or less likely to be a terrorist. According to Human Rights Data Analysis executive director Patrick Ball, the NSAs methods areridiculously optimistic and completely bullshit. If Ball is correct, SKYNETs methodology may be putting thousands of innocent lives in danger because they are being falsely identified as terrorists. While Ball has raised many issues, one of the most important points, which NSA officials appear to be ignoring, is that the machine is only able to identify a terrorist if it has access to details pertaining to a great number ofother known terrorists. According to New York Magazine, however, there just arent that many known terrorists who could be added to the machines list, especially in comparison to the number of phones the NSA is monitoring in Pakistan. The documents made available by The Intercept show the NSA works with the data of only seven known terrorists. NSA officials reportedlyfeed six of the terrorists information into the machine, tasking SKYNET with the duty of finding the seventh in a random group of 100,000 citizens. Ball says this system cannot work. According to Ars Technica, there were about 120 million cellular handsets in use in Pakistan at the end of 2012. At the time, the NSA analyzed 55 million of those records. With only 80 variables on 55 million Pakistani mobile phone users, there is obviously far too much data to make sense of manually, Ars Technica explained. Like any other application targeting big data, SKYNET is used as a substitute for human reason and judgment,Ars Technicas Christian Grothoff and J.M. Porup explain. Similar apps, like the one used by Facebook, are prone to making major mistakes, but the consequences of Facebooks errorsare relatively innocuous. When SKYNET makes similar mistakes by wrongly identifying a terrorist, the consequences are deadly. Ars Technica contends that the information harvested and analyzed by NSA is likely used by the CIA or the U.S. military, two agencies that execute Find-Fix-Finish strategies with the help of Predator drones or on-the-ground death squads. Before feeding the information to the CIA or the military, SKYNET uses information on peoples typical daily routines to tell a story. According to the NSA documents, the Ars Technica analysis details, the program is based on the assumption that the behaviour of terrorists differs significantly from that of ordinary citizens when it comes to the more than 80 different properties they use to rate people. With terrorist organizations upping their efforts to remain undetected, its hard to see how SKYNET could be effective, especially after learning that Al-Jazeeras bureau chief in Islamabad, Ahmad Zaidan, was once SKYNETs highest rated target. In 2014, the former director of both the CIA and NSA, Michael Hayden, proudly claimed they kill people based on metadata. To Ball, the NSA has a major problem on their hands if they are using the same records to train the model as they are using to test the model. Because there is such a small number of known terrorists to work with, the number of possible terrorists is not sufficiently narrowed down. Ball explains the usual practice is to hold some of the data out of the training process so that the test includes records the model has never seen before. Without this step, their classification fit assessment is ridiculously optimistic. If the NSA is serious about being accurate, Ball told Ars Technica, the agency should mix the terrorists into the population set before random selection of a subset. But the low number of known terrorists makes this particular step hard to follow. Without a scientifically-sound statistical analysis, there is no accuracy. President Barack Obama has been under heavy scrutiny for authorizing drone campaigns that result in gross mistakes, killing a great number of innocent people while targeting confirmed terrorists. Since 2004, there have been 401 US drone strikes in Afghanistan, alone, killing 3,058 people total. In Pakistan, hundreds, including children, have died in pursuit of a mere two dozen declared terrorists.

2	Saudi Royalty Showers Obama In 1.3 Million In Gifts And What Michelle Received Will... The United States State Department caused controversy recently when they publicized a list of the many gifts President Barack Obama and his family have been given by world leaders over the past year. According to reports, the gifts totaled to more than $1.5 million. As the policy is that Obama must reject these gifts, it is interesting to learn that he has only dispensed of most of the gifts he has been given, according to CNN. Perhaps the most elaborate gift the Obamas received was from a Saudi royal family, which gave around $1.3 million in presents. And King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz reportedly spent more than a million on jewelry from Michelle Obama. The jewelry consisted of a diamond and emerald set including necklace, earrings, ring and bracelet. He also gave more than $80,000 in jewelry to Malia and Sasha Obama. What do you think of this new information? Is it suspicious that our President is receiving such lavish gifts from Muslim leaders?

2	Angry Americans Burn Down Radical Islamic Mosque In San Bernardino Law enforcement officials say that a man set fire to a mosque just miles away from San Bernardino. Individuals have come forward saying that this mosque had radical ties to it. The responsible party has been arrested and taken into custody for the act of arson. No one was hurt in the fire. Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension, Trump said in a press release. Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine. 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. Some are calling this man a terrorist. Others are calling him a hero. Do you think his action was justified? 
2	Idiot Juan Williams Gets Brutally Annihilated After Calling Kellyanne A Bad Mother... This election season, liberals have reached an all-time low, attacking the Trump family and everyone who has been associated with them. That was evidenced once again when Juan Williams attempted to attack former Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, who has just accepted a job as a strategist for Trump when he assumes the White House. Juan Williams made the disgusting claim that Conway is being a bad mother for taking the job. Its funny, we were talking with Juan Williams earlier, and he was questioning, Well, Kellyanne has four kids. Hows she going to do it? Maria Bartiromo told Conway in a recent appearance on Fox. Conway was quick to point out the bigotry in his statement. I would say that I dont play a lot of golf and I dont have a mistress, so I have a lot of time that a lot of these other men dont, Conway fired back. I see people on the weekend spending an awful lot of time on their golf games and thats their right, but the kids will be with me, we live in the same house, and they come first. Everyone has to do whats best for their family and thats why I didnt jump immediately on a position that was offered to me early in the transition because theres a lot to weigh, she continued. My children are 12, 12, 8 and 7, but I certainly hope too that we continue the conversation as a nation about the balance that many men and women face. What do you think? Is this a brilliant response on Conways part? 
2	BREAKING: Target Just Released SHOCKING Announcement... You Will Boycott Them After THIS This is absolutely ridiculous. According to recent reports, Target has just issued a new transgender bathroom policy. We welcome transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity, the company statement claimed. Everyone deserves to feel like they belong. Inclusivity is a core belief at Target, the statement continued. Its something we celebrate. We stand for equality and equity, and strive to make our guests and team members feel accepted, respected and welcomed in our stores and workplaces every day. Given the specific questions these legislative proposal raised about how we manage our fitting rooms and restrooms, we felt it was important to state our position, the statement reads. This means that your children could be using the bathroom with someone who is transgender. Many parents are concerned that this is not safe for their children. 
1	Dodgers pitcher Derek Lowe asked manager Joe Torre if he could duck out around the fourth inning of his start against the Cardinals this Saturday so that he could hang out with his former college buddy, Greg, who will be flying in from Chicago. 'I hate to cut out early like that, but I promised Greg I'd show him Grauman's Chinese Theater and where they tape Jimmy Kimmel Live,' Lowe told Torre, adding that if he stayed the full game, by the time he took a shower and left the stadium it would be close to midnight and Greg might be too tired to hang out. 'I mean, it's not like we don't have a bunch of pitchers around here, and I promise I'll make it up to the team sometime. Just not next week, since my parents are coming in and I know they're going to want to get brunch Sunday.' When asked for comment, Torre said that it was fine if Lowe left early, as he wasn't expecting Lowe to make it past the third inning anyway. 
2	Group Of Police Officers Turn On Obama, Insult Him In A Major Way President Obama lost the respect of law enforcement when he turned against American police officers in the wake of the race riots, absolving the protestors of all blame. Since his controversial comments were made, 23 police officers have been killed in the line of duty. Several more have been attacked, with what seems to be permission from the president. Now, a group of cops in New England have decided to stand up, boycotting President Obamas Labor Day speech in Boston. Our members are enraged at his lack of support of law enforcement, Jerry Flynn, a member of the New England Police Benevolent Association (NEPBA) told reporters. Its clear that he has an agenda, and unfortunately the police are not part of his agenda. He had the opportunity to do things then and he didnt, and all hes done is escalated and allowed these people that are hell-bent on causing problems to do so, he continued, regarding Obamas response to violence. We cant continue to have people who have no intention to do anything but be disruptive. These arent good citizens. These are thugs who go out and try to cause problems. What do you think? Is it time that Obama offered his support to American law enforcement? 
1	Admitting that he has absolutely no idea how other authors do it, novelist Edward Milligan, 46, told reporters Tuesday that hes just no good at all when it comes to describing peoples hands in his writing. Im fine with most details, but for some reason hands completely and utterly elude me, said Milligan, who recently described a characters hands as dangling around like big, meaty spiders. Ill often create an entirely fleshed-out character, and write easily at length about their face, their personality, their voice, their hopes, dreams, and desires, but then I try to describe their damn hands and it ruins the whole story. Milligan, whose novella Grand Rapids was reportedly rejected by publishers due partly to a passage in which the protagonists hand trundled and shimmered on the top section of his wrist, revealed that while he is able to portray realistic trees, emotions, and most body parts, hands consistently give him trouble. Click to enlarge Calling the way he represented the proportions of his characters hands way off, Milligan said he is especially bad at delineating human fingers, which the writer once portrayed as flabby pink-tan logs, but a bendy kind of log. Milligan noted that he can envision how hands should look and behave in his mind, but always messes up when translating the imagery into words. Sometimes I hide the hands by saying characters had really long sleeves or having them stand behind tables, but that starts to feel awkward, said Milligan, adding that no matter how much he practices writing about hands, they always come out weird. Ive also tried to avoid doing hand descriptions altogether, but you can only put a few amputees in your stories before people start to notice. I just want to say that a character has, you know, these big...twisty things next to her wrists, he added. See? I cant do it. I fucking suck at it. Milligan said that his problem was made more frustrating by the fact that he believes some of his writing, including the following excerpt from his unfinished novel Old Juniper, is actually pretty good if you ignore the parts about hands: They moved closer now, and their shadows stretched across the sand, twin silhouettes cut from the same canvas. She laid her finger hub across his tentative, dandelion hands and then slowly let that glorious gripping machine tighten like a mighty vise until at last she could feel that their spirits, too, were entwined, just like their touching-organs were, except emotionally instead of physically. Readers of Milligans work agreed that the passages concerning hands tended to be especially distracting. I enjoy Edwards writing, but its true the hands can really take you out of it, said reader Evan Forster, 39, who mentioned he was jarred by a sentence calling someones hands bony ball-sticks that grab hard. I dont think hes doing it on purpose, because everything else seems normal. It doesnt make sense when he tries to gets around it by saying that peoples hands are hand-like in their stature and bearing. What does that even mean? Then he tries to shoehorn in something like a guy whos always moving his hands so fast no one can see what they look like, Forster added. Its clear what hes doing. The exasperated 46-year-old novelist admitted that in some casesincluding a passage in which a couple walks along a path arm-foot in arm-foothe isnt even sure what he was going for in the first place. Listen to this: What seemed like a thousand tiny hands (though in truth there were only two) extended from his arms. They were sparsely knuckled, punctuated only by the occasional thumb or forefinger jutting up like a lighthouse from a handy sea, said Milligan, quoting from a draft of the second chapter of his novel. God, thats fucking terrible. It doesnt even sound like Im talking about hands. Milligan confirmed that he recently sent an email to author Philip Roth with the subject line, How do you do hands? but has not received a response. 
3	Uruguay Legalizes Marijuana!Phillip Smith Once Mujica signs the bill into law, it will go into effect in 120 days. Uruguay now becomes the first signatory to the 1961 United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs to break with the UN on the issue of marijuana legalization. The Netherlands has turned a blind eye to small-scale retail sales for decades now, but such acts remain formally illegal so the Dutch can remain in formal compliance with the treaty. Under the bill, the Uruguayan government will regulate the importation, cultivation, harvesting, distribution, and sale of marijuana. Would-be pot smokers will have to register with the government in order to grow their own (up to six plants), grow it collectively in a club, or buy up to 40 grams a month at a pharmacy. The effects of this policy on public health will be terrible, he warned. But Broad Front Sen. Roberto Conde retorted that easy access to marijuana is already the status quo. Marijuana is already established in Uruguay, he said. Its a drug that is already seen as very low risk and enormously easy to get. Opposition didnt just come from conservative lawmakers. Some marijuana users arent very keen on the idea of having to register with the state in order to legally obtain their drug of choice. But President Mujica and the Broad Front argued that the bill would weaken drug traffickers and help reduce the estimated $80 million a year the country spends fighting drugs and imprisoning traffickers. The estimated 128,000 Uruguayan pot smokers (user groups have a higher estimate of around 200,000) make up the largest illicit drug market in the country. We are keeping in mind the prices on the black market, until we start to dismantle the functioning of the market, said Julio Calzada, secretary of the National Drug Board. This law will return us to the vanguard of Latin America, added Broad Front Sen. Constanza Moreira. For many of us, today is a historic day. Many countries in Latin America, and many governments will take this law as an example. Uruguays move to legalize the marijuana business won accolades from drug reformers around the world. In an open letter organized by the International Drug Policy Consortium,114 civil society organizations from around the world welcomed the vote. The path taken by Uruguay establishes the basis for a new paradigm in drug policy, the groups said. The organizations that have promoted these changes cannot ignore the efforts undertaken by the Uruguayan state. We will support Uruguay and every other state and jurisdiction as they seek to develop more sensible drug policies to tackle the problems related to health and security of their citizens, in full respect with international human rights treaties. Its about time that we see a country bravely break with the failed prohibitionist model and try an innovative, more compassionate, and smarter approach, said Hannah Hetzer, who is based out of Montevideo, Uruguay, as the policy manager for the Americas for the Drug Policy Alliance. For 40 years, marijuana prohibition has been attempted and it simply hasnt worked. But rather than closing their eyes to the problem of drug abuse and drug trafficking, Uruguay has chosen responsible regulation of an existing reality. Lets hope others soon follow suit! We applaud President Mujica and members of the Uruguayan General Assembly for their leadership on this important issue, said Dan Riffle, director of federal policies for the Marijuana Policy Project. Support for regulating marijuana and taking it out of the underground market is not only growing in the United States, but also internationally. It will not be long before more states and nations decide to end marijuana prohibition. Marijuana prohibition creates underground markets that generate billions of dollars in tax-free revenue for violent drug cartels and traffickers, Riffle said. Regulating marijuana will allow authorities to control it and ensure profits are being used to benefit communities instead of criminals. Uruguay has just punched a big hole in the edifice of global marijuana prohibition. Who is going to be next? Phillip Smith writes for StopTheDrugWar.org where this article first appeared. 
2	Michelle Obama Attempting To Shut Down Popular Fast Food Chain Are you ready to hear another lecture from Michelle Obama about where you are eating? Neither are we, but it looks like we are going to have to. According to recent reports, the First Lady has picked Chick-Fil-A as the new target for her nutritional campaign. As we all know by now, Michelles campaigns have a history of failing. School administrators throughout the country are criticizing her programs, which is increasing costs for schools and losing the interest of children. In fact, several school districts have been attempting to get out of the mandate. The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act passed at the beginning of the month has created new hardships, and especially in low income neighborhoods. These schools cannot afford the items on Obama-approved foods. Now, a high school in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina is being forced to stop selling sandwiches from Chick-Fil-A, which have historically been used in fundraisers. What do you think? Is Michelle taking her campaign way too far? 
2	TTwo employees at T-Mobile encountered two suspicious looking customers walking through their store last Wednesday. After strolling around, the two criminals pulled out their guns and demanded money. As one employee ran into the back, the other pulled out his own gun and shot both of the men, twice each. One was hit in the groin and arm, and the other in the arm and abdomen. As the thugs ran away, the employee chased after them, giving the police a description over the phone. The two suspects were later arrested after they went to the hospital to seek medical attention. I think concealed carry is a great opportunity for managers, workers, employees to protect themselves in these cases, said store manager, Neil Tadros. And our employee did a great job to protect themselves and the other employee. Its good to know that some people still support the Second Amendment. Do you believe that Americans should have the right to conceal carry? 
1	Preparing for the arrival of dinner date Amanda Raskin, area resident Randy Thaler conducted a thorough porn sweep of his one-bedroom apartment Monday. Randy Thaler purges his apartment of all visible pornographic material. 'I almost forgot to do it, actually,' the 24-year-old graphic designer said. 'But while I was clearing off the kitchen table, I saw the box for A Fistful Of Dolores sitting out and thought, 'Oh, shit.'' As a pot of spinach fettuccine boiled in the kitchen, Thaler swiftly moved through the apartment, racing to collect all traces of print- and video-based female objectification before his date's 7 p.m. arrival. First, he headed to the bathroom, where he removed from the top of the toilet a copy of last month's Playboy and a November 1999 issue of the non-pornographic but sexist Maxim magazine. Thaler then proceeded to the living room, where he found a copy of Girls Gone Wild: Best Of Mardi Gras sticking out of the VCR. Sliding the tape safely underneath the couch, he turned to the nearby video shelf, upon which rested a copy of Butt-Fuck Sluts Go Nuts, Vol. 31, a tape Thaler received 'as a total joke from the guys' for his birthday last year. He promptly hid the hardcore anal-sex video behind a New York Giants 1998 season-highlight video. 'I almost blocked Butt-Fuck Sluts with When Harry Met Sally..., but then I realized Amanda might pick that one up and see what was behind it,' Thaler said. 'So, not wanting to take any chances, I decided to block it with a sports video instead of a regular movie.' More disaster was averted when, at the last minute, Thaler decided against excluding the kitchen from his porn sweep, remembering that a postcard featuring a row of G-string-clad posteriors and the phrase 'Cancun's Natural Assets' was taped to his refrigerator. While disposing of the postcard, Thaler also noticed the partially completed Vivid Video mail-order form that had been sitting on his phone table. Some of the items uncovered during the sweep. Moving to the bedroom, Thaler sifted through the stack of periodicals on the floor next to his bed, removing all of them with the exception of a single issue of Details. Thaler then took the 16-ounce tube of Astro-Glide he keeps on his nightstand and hid it in the top drawer of his dresser. A semen-encrusted sock lying next to the bed was also removed from view. With scant minutes to go before his date's arrival and numerous non-porn-related matters still requiring his attention before the apartment could be considered romance-ready, Thaler was forced to conclude the sweep. Tossing a copy of Perfect 10 magazine onto his top closet shelf, he returned to the kitchen to light a candle, dim the lights, and strain the fettuccine. 'It's not like I'm some perverted, freako porn-hound,' Thaler said. 'It's just that I haven't really dated anyone in a while, and sometimes you need, you know, visual aids.' Added Thaler: 'You don't realize how much porn you have until a woman's about to come over.' Raskin, a 23-year-old social worker who was set up with Thaler by a mutual friend, complimented the apartment upon arriving, calling it 'a very nice place.' 
3	Terronoia Theater Presents: Staged ISIS AttacksProvoking war abroad raises specter of staged attacks at home. The FBI has foiled yet another entirely fabricated terror threat of its own creation, with missing mechanisms in two firearms provided to a potential terrorist being the only thing that prevented this latest case of entrapment from going live. A Rochester man,Mufid A. Elfgeeh, is accused by the FBI of attempting to provide material support toISIS (undercover FBI agents),attempting to kill US soldiers, and possession of firearms and silencers (provided to him by the FBI). The FBIsown official press release stated(emphasis added): According to court records, Elfgeeh attempted to provide material support to ISIS in the form of personnel, namely three individuals, two of whom were cooperating with the FBI. Elfgeeh attempted to assist all three individuals in traveling to Syria to join and fight on behalf of ISIS. Elfgeeh also plotted to shoot and kill members of the United States military who had returned from Iraq. As part of the plan to kill soldiers, Elfgeeh purchased two handguns equipped with firearm silencers and ammunition from a confidential source. The handguns were made inoperable by the FBI before the confidential source gave them to Elfgeeh. What is perhaps more chilling are the details of Elfgeehs plans to kill US soldiers. The FBIs press release stated (emphasis added): Court documents also indicate that Elfgeeh first discussed the idea of shooting United States military members in December 2013 when he told CS-2 that he was thinking about getting a gun and ammunition, putting on a bulletproof vest, and just go[ing] around and start shooting. In February 2014, Elfgeeh told CS-2 that he needed a handgun and silencer. Elfgeeh later gave CS-2 $1,050 in cash to purchase two handguns equipped with silencers and ammunition. On May 31, 2014, CS-2 delivered the two handguns equipped with silencers and ammunition to Elfgeeh. After Elfgeeh took possession of the items, he was arrested by members of the Rochester Joint Terrorism Task Force. Elfgeeh is currently being held in custody. Elfgeehs plans are also coincidentally verbatim, the dream scenario of Washingtons warmongers currently attempting to sell a war that will straddle both sides of the Syrian-Iraqi border, allow the US to provide terrorists operating in Syria with air support, and lead to punitive operations against the Syrian government for attacking US-backed terrorists with the final objective being long-sought after regime change in Damascus. With serial beheadings failing to raise Western public support necessary for an expedient intervention in Syria, more insidious provocations appear to be in the works. Setting the stage, a CBS/Associated Press story titled, Former Deputy CIA Director: I Would Not Be Surprised If ISIS Member Shows Up To US Mall Tomorrow With AK-47, would claim immediately after the initial James Foley execution video that: The short-term concern is the Americans that have gone to fight with ISIS and the west Europeans that have gone to fight with ISIS could be trained and directed by ISIS to come to the United States to conduct small-scale attacks, Morell stated. If an ISIS member showed up at a mall in the United States tomorrow with an AK-47 and killed a number of Americans, I would not be surprised. Morell warned that over the long-term the extremist group could be planning for a 9/11-style attack that killed thousands of Americans. Elfgeehs entrapment is only the beginning. Staged terror raids in Australia are also ratcheting up hysteria ahead of an actual event of mass murder carried out on Western soil. The BBC would report in their article, Australia raids over Islamic State plot to behead, that: Police have carried out anti-terror raids in Sydney sparked by intelligence reports that Islamic extremists were planning random killings in Australia. PM Tony Abbott said a senior Australian Islamic State militant had called for demonstration killings, reportedly including a public beheading. The raids, with at least 800 heavily-armed officers, led to 15 arrests. Image: Australian security forces swept the city of Sydney arresting suspects of an alleged plot by ISIS to behead a random member of the public and then drape an ISIS flag upon their body in an attack that would only stand to serve Western ambitions to expand war on both sides of the Syrian-Iraqi border. The plot is cartoonish in nature, but Westerners should not underestimate what lengths special interests will go through to provoke war. The cartoonish nature of the plot beheading a random member of the public before draping an ISIS flag over their body is meant to provoke maximum fear and anger first, then maximum support for Australias continued involvement in Wall Street and Londons hegemonic ambitions in the Middle East. Likewise, the Rochester arrest made by the FBI amid their own terror plot, serves only to incite fear across the public and irrational support for intervention in Syria that will, in fact, lead to further support of extremists as well as the destruction of the only institution in the region truly fighting terrorism the Syrian Arab Army. A Functioning Firing Pin Away From a Staged Mass Shooting The FBI has a long list of foiled terror plots of its own creation. More disturbingly are the plots they conceived but accidentally allowed to go live. One might recall the 1993 World TradeCenter bombing. FBI agents, according to the New York Times, were indeed overseeing the bombers that detonated a device killing six and wounding many more at the World Trade Center. In their article, Tapes Depict Proposal to Thwart Bomb Used in Trade Center Blast, NYT reported: Law-enforcement officials were told that terrorists were building a bomb that was eventually used to blow up the World Trade Center, and they planned to thwart the plotters by secretly substituting harmless powder for the explosives, an informer said after the blast. The informer was to have helped the plotters build the bomb and supply the fake powder, but the plan was called off by an F.B.I. supervisor who had other ideas about how the informer, Emad A. Salem, should be used, the informer said. The account, which is given in the transcript of hundreds of hours of tape recordings Mr. Salem secretly made of his talks with law-enforcement agents, portrays the authorities as in a far better position than previously known to foil the Feb. 26 bombing of New York Citys tallest towers. The explosion left six people dead, more than 1,000 injured and damages in excess of half a billion dollars. Considering the 1993 bombing and the fact that the FBI literally oversaw the construction and deployment of a deadly bomb that killed 6, it is clear that the FBI can at any time through design or disastrous incompetence, turn one of their contrived entrapment cases into a live terror attack. One can only guess at how many similar FBI operations are currently taking place within the United States involving ISIS sympathizers any one of which could be turned into a live terror attack provided the weapons handed over to potential terrorists are functioning, just as the bomb was in 1993 when it was driven into the lower levels of the World Trade Center. Everything from a mass shooting to a bombing, and even an Operation Northwoods-style false flag attack involving aircraft could be employed to provide Wall Street and London with the support it needs to accelerate its long-stalled agenda of regime change and reordering in both Syria and across the Iranian arc of influence. Readers may recall Operation Northwoods, reported on in an ABC News article titled, U.S. Military Wanted to Provoke War With Cuba, which bluntly stated: In the early 1960s, Americas top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban migrs, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities. That the FBI and Australian authorities are coordinating staged security operations in tandem on opposite ends of the globe to terrify their respective populations into line behind an impending war with Syria suggests a new Operation Northwoods of sorts is already being executed. Staged executions on cue by ISIS in the Middle East of US and British citizens at perfectly timed junctures of the Wests attempt to sell intervention both at home and abroad also reek of staged mayhem for the sole purpose of provoking war. Could grander and ultimately more tragic mayhem be in store? As ABC News article on Operation Northwoods suggests, there is no line Western special interests will hesitate to cross. With the West attempting to claim ISIS now has a global reach, the US and its partners attempts to obfuscate the very obvious state-sponsorship it is receiving will become exponentially more difficult. That the FBI is admittedly stringing along easily manipulated, malevolent patsies who at any time could be handed real weapons and sent on shooting sprees and/or bombings, Americans, Europeans, and Australians would be foolish to conclude that their real enemy resides somewhere in Syria and not right beside them at home, upon the very seats of Western power.

1	Prior to his appearance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last week, actor Tommy Lee Jones informed the host that he had no intention of playing any of [his] little fucking games, according to sources at NBC. Listen here, Howdy Doody, Im not putting on a wig, Im not doing your skits, Im not reading any Mtley Cre lyrics, and Im sure as shit not singing the Men In Black song with your goddamn band, said the Oscar winner, who was on the show to promote his film Hope Springs. Heres whats gonna happen. Im gonna walk out there, sit down, and tell you an amusing anecdote about my movie. Then youre gonna roll the clip, thank me, and have a producer walk me to the elevator. Thats it. Nothing else. Zippo. Im a 66-year-old man, for Christs sake. So you and your giddy little writing staff can just calm the fuck down. Fallon reportedly replied by saying awesome eighteen times, and then instructed a production assistant to ensure singer Rickie Lee Jones stayed hidden in her dressing room until her surprise serenade of the similarly named guest. 
3	Heightened BPA Exposure Linked to DiabetesCase Adams New research from the West Virginia University School of Medicine has confirmed other research finding that Bisphenol A (BPA) found among various plastics and resins in consumer goods may lead or contribute to type 2 diabetes. The researchers examined 3,516 people using the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey of 2003-2008. The researchers compared the urinary BPA levels with fasting glucose levels to determine if there was a relationship between higher BPA concentration in the body and a prediabetic condition. The researchers used the range for fasting glucose of 100-125 mg/dL and two-hour glucose levels of 140-199 mg/dL or a glycated hemoglobin (A1C) value of 5.7-6.4 % as the standard for a prediabetic condition. A normal A1C range is between 4% and 6%, and the lower the level, the better. The researchers found that those subjects with BPA levels in the highest third (tertile) range of BPA concentration in the urine had an average of 34% increased incidence of prediabetic condition in terms of their glucose or A1C levels. The researchers eliminated other possible known factors in diabetes such as weight, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and alcohol consumption. In their conclusion the researchers stated: Higher urinary BPA levels are found to be associated with prediabetes independent of traditional diabetes risk factors. The reality of this association has been strengthened not only by other human research, but also animal and laboratory studies. The study found that the average BPA concentration in the urine for the healthy adults was 2.03 ng/mL (nanograms per milliliter), while the average BPA concentration among the type 2 diabetic adults was 2.40 ng/mL. This is a difference of over 18%. A significant difference. Several animal studies have found the same correlation. Studies from France and China have both linked BPA with diabetes. The French study and others in fact have found BPA linked with type 1 diabetes as well. Laboratory studies have shown that at least one of the mechanisms of BPA relates to a derangement among the cells of the pancreas which produce insulin. BPA has been found to speed up the formation of amyloid proteins secreted by beta-cells of the pancreas. The human islet amyloid polypeptide or hIAPP secretion is speeded up in the presence of BPA, found researchers from Chinas Huazhong University of Science and Technology. hIAPP secretion speeds up the early death of the pancreas beta cells. This is because it will destroy the beta cells membrane integrity. This research and others has found that BPA also increases oxidation among the beta cells, which heightens their early death. This was also found in research from Southern University and AM College. Here the researchers found that the phenoxyl radicals from BPA were more toxic to cells than radicals from similar phenols. The researchers stated that this meant that the BPA-related oxidative stress factors lead to higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and abnormalities in hepatic enzymes. Meanwhile, researchers from Chinas Tongji Medical College also found that BPA produced swelling among the mitochondria of pancreatic beta cells. This impaired mitochondrial function among the beta-cells was found related to an altered secretion of insulin among the cells. Bisphenol A (BPA), found in larger concentration in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins, is most known for its endocrine disruption. Other studies have found BPA concentrations in more than 90% of urine samples of all ages, as well as umbilical cord blood. This article first appeared at GreenMedInfo.

2	Look Closely At What Obama Did Right After Fidel Castros Death If you want a clear picture of the different styles of leadership of President Barack Obama and President-elect Donald Trump, just look at the way they addressed the death of Fidel Castro this week. Trump was the first of the two to react, tweeting his initial gut-reaction just a few minutes after 8 AM: Fidel Castro is dead! A fuller response came three hours later when he condemned the many human rights violations of the Castro regime. Today, the world marks the passing of a brutal dictator who oppressed his own people for nearly six decades, he said in an official statement. Fidel Castros legacy is one of firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights. In contrast, Obama released a much gentler statement. He was clearly being cautious in his approach. At this time of Fidel Castros passing, we extend a hand of friendship to the Cuban people, he began. We know that this moment fills Cubansin Cuba and in the United Stateswith powerful emotions, recalling the countless ways in which Fidel Castro altered the course of individual lives, families, and the Cuban nation. History will record and judge the enormous impact of this singular figure on the people and the world around him, Obama continued. Trumps response is refreshing for everyone tired of having a president who is constantly walking on eggshells. Do you agree? 
1	Contorting his wrinkled mouth unnaturally in order to produce the vocalization, 60-year-old Vanderweigh Media CEO Robert Flynn reportedly employed his ancient organs of speech at a meeting Wednesday to grotesquely form the word hashtag. According to sources, the sexagenarian marketing executive began the hideous utterance by lifting the roof of his mouth slightly and forcing a putrid breath upwards through his ragged vocal cords, as a loose flap of neck skin vibrated in tandem. Observers told reporters that Flynn then mustered what little saliva he could and slid his tongue against the back of his yellowing teeth to articulate the second loathsome syllable. At press time, the ancient executive had dislodged a morsel of phlegm from the back of his throat and was preparing to befoul the conference room with the word retweet. 
2	Russian Airstrikes Have Frightened ISIS So Much They Had To Do THIS In Response According to recent reports, the Islamic State terror group was forced to cancel Friday prayers in Raqqa and empty out mosques given the Russian airstrikes taking place. A dozen Islamic State militants were killed Thursday in Russias first strikes. According to Abdel Rahman, the head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the residents were staying indoors and ISIS has started to implement a plan to turn off electricity in a number of areas of the city when planes are overheard. A mosque in Jisr al-Shughour was also destroyed this week. What do you think? Are you happy Russia is taking action where Obama refused to? 
3	The CDC: mind control on a vast scaleJon Rappoport In recent articles, Ive been pointing out that the current measles outbreak is a CDC fabrication. On and off, since 1987, Ive been following the CDC and its astonishing trail of lies. Lying is its business. Here is yet another example Once upon a time, the CDC claimed that roughly 36,000 people in the US died every year from the flu. Media sources parroted this figure over and over. Lately, the CDC has chosen to change that estimate. Its now between 3,000 and 49,000 flu deaths per year. Thats quite a loose range. Why does the CDC now waffle so egregiously? Perhaps because theyve been exposed In December of 2005, the British Medical Journal (online) published a shocking report by Peter Doshi, which spelled out a delusion and created tremors throughout the halls of the CDC. Here is a quote from Doshis report: [According to CDC statistics], influenza and pneumonia took 62,034 lives in 200161,777 of which were attributable to pneumonia and 257 to flu, and in only 18 cases was the flu virus positively identified. You see, the CDC had created one category that combined flu and pneumonia deaths. Why did they do this? Because they self-servingly assumed that the pneumonia deaths were complications stemming from the flu. This is an absurd assumption. Pneumonia has a number of causes. But even worse, in all the flu deaths, only 18 were traced directly to a flu virus. Therefore, the CDC could not say, with assurance, that more than 18 people died of the flu in 2001. (Note: In several articles, I erred and reported 18 flu cases in 2001 instead of 18 flu deaths in 2001.) Doshi continues his assessment of published CDC flu-death statistics: Between 1979 and 2001, [CDC] data show an average of 1348 [flu] deaths per year (range 257 to 3006). However, as Doshi showed from the year 2001, the CDC actually finds the flu virus in a tiny proportion of people who are estimated to have died from the flu. So the CDC range of flu deaths257 to 3006is much, much lower when lab confirmation is required. And confirmation needs to be required, unless hocus-pocus guesswork is sufficient. To the overwhelming percentage of Americans, the idea that only 18 people were positively identified as flu deaths in a year is staggering. Its so staggering, they reject it. It must be wrong. It has to be wrong. If it isnt wrong A pillar of reality collapses. And were not just talking about a Brian Williams pillar of reality or a went-to-war-for-the-wrong-reason pillar of reality. Were not just talking about the CIA lying or the NSA lying or the President lying. No. Were talking about a medical pillar collapsing. And the medical cartel is the modern Church of Reality. It has its priests in white coats and its CDC bishops and its ceaseless propaganda about an overwhelming concern for the well-being of humanity. Therefore, when many people read this, when they see that only 18 flu deaths in America were confirmed in the year 2001, it doesnt register at all in their minds. Its invisible. This isnt cognitive dissonance. Its much, much deeper. Its I never read that. I dont remember reading that. 18 confirmed flu deaths in one year? I never heard of that. Mind control par excellence. Its on the order of half a major city disappearing overnight and the citizens saying, Of course, nothing disappeared. How could anything disappear? Going even deeper, there are two factors at work here. One, a persons stubborn refusal to reject reality as he receives it; and two, his refusal to invent a better reality to replace the one that has just crumbled and vanished. Those two factors underlie the success of mind control.

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe If lying is the CDCs business, they are the new kid on the block, leaving a trail of contradicting evidence in their wake. It was like this in USSR total mind control. Just a sign of dictatorship. But in the end many stopped to believe in anything at all and the state collapsed. Not because of US or the West in general, but because of internal reasons. False reality slowly collapsed. And this may happen to any country with false reality and ideology. This should rustle a lot of jimmies. Bravo. The USDA; comprised of many ex Monsanto execs. This is what a Fascist state looks like. 
2	Christian Pastors Just Did Something Amazing To Blatantly Defy Obama [VIDEO] A group of nearly 1,500 Christian pastors made a bold statement when they took a stand against the Obama Administration by preaching politically-charged sermons in honor of Pulpit Freedom Sunday. The act was in response to the news of a secret agreement between the IRS and the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), which ultimately led to the targeting of Christian churches. The pastors participating in Pulpit Freedom Sunday were risking their tax exempt status by doing so. They were backed by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), who has offered to support any church targeted by the IRS. The message weve been telling pastors for years now in regard to Pulpit Freedom Sunday is, Weve got you back, ADF senior legal counsel Erik Stanley told reporters at the Christian Post. Pastor, stand, preach from your pulpit what God lays on your heart to tell your people and you have the free exercise the free speech right thats enshrined in the First Amendment of the Constitution to do that. It is ridiculous to think that the IRS is attempting to prevent a church from speaking out on political issues. It is to silence some important discussions when it comes to faith in the real world. Tell us what you think. 
2	EXPOSED: Obamas 23 Jihad Camps In America Located In The United States According to some very shocking new reports, there are at least 23 active terror cells inside the United States. You read that right. And the information comes straight from an FBI map. Jamaat ul-Furqa is the Islamic fundamentalist organization believed to be running the camp. The group has relationships to Al-Qaeda as well as the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organizations. In order to live in these camps, you must pledge to support a Pakistani Cleric on the International Wanted List, reports Mad World News. As early as 2012, the media confirmed 19 Jihad camps on Untied States soil. According to reports, the FBI states that their hands are tied in monitoring their activities, despite a training video that is years old, possible murders, and proof of illegal activities. If that is true, Homeland Security has known about these camps for years. The Obama administration has allegedly refused to classify the parent organizations of the camps as terrorist organizations. However, the cells have already been involved in several serious crimes, with suspected involvements in at least 10 murders. Obama time and time again puts Muslim interests over American safety. And were tired of it. What do you think? Does Obama need to step up and start protecting our country? 
3	Federal court calls for TSA to explain defiance of naked body scanner orderMadison Ruppert, Contributor These hearings were supposed to address the rules and regulations pertaining to the use of these scanners, which have been linked to significant health risks, place quite considerable costs on the taxpayer and most importantly dont even work as they are supposed to. Indeed, earlier this year a blogger exposed how easy it is to bypass these scanners while in 2010 an Israeli security expert said, I dont know why everybody is running to buy these expensive and useless machines. I can overcome the body scanners with enough explosives to bring down a Boeing 747. In response to the third request from the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit finally stepped up. In a short order, the court asked why the TSA has yet to follow through with being ordered to act promptly and hold public hearings with public adoption of rules and regulations of the use of scanners. While the appeals court ruled 3-0 in favor of keeping the scanners in place stating, screening passengers at an airport is an administrative search because the primary goal is not to determine whether any passenger has committed a crime but rather to protect the public from a terrorist attack. However, they also ruled that the TSA breached federal law when they formally made the body scanners the primary screening method for passengers. They ruled that in 2009 the TSA violated the Administrative Procedures Act since they did not hold the 90-day public comment period, after which they ordered them to carry it out. For many observers at the time, including myself, the decision fell far short of actually holding the TSA accountable since there was no penalty whatsoever for the breach. In the court order uploaded by Wireds Threat Level, the judges ordered the TSA to respond by August 30. However, Lorie Dankers, a TSA spokesperson, told Wired that they did not plan to hold the hearings and respond to them until next year. Personally, I doubt that this will actually result in any action taken against the TSA since, as before, the TSA will likely simply claim that following the law would hinder their ability to respond to ever-revolving threats. Clearly Im not the only one who is amazed by the brazenness of the TSAs flouting of the law and refusal to follow the court order, evidenced by a White House petition with over 16,000 signatures entitled, Require the Transportation Security Administration to Follow the Law! The petition, which was originally published by the director of information policy studies at the Cato Institute, Jim Harper, needs to reach 25,000 signatures before the Obama administration is supposed to respond. That being said, the responses to the petitions have been so laughable in the past that there was actually a petition to take petitions seriously. Therefore Im not holding my breath in hopes of seeing either a meaningful response to the petition or the TSA being held accountable. Id love to be surprised by seeing some of the much promised and never seen transparency of the Obama administration but saying that such a thing is likely is, in my opinion, a bit nave. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	In an act that many are calling long overdue, Congress passed legislation this week to honor those Americans who were first on the scene to profit from the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001. The so-called 9/11 First Capitalizers Act, which passed by a wide margin in both the House and Senate, is the first measure to recognize the utter lack of sacrifice on the part of those men and women who did not hesitate to put their own personal agendas above all else when it mattered most. 'It is high time we paid tribute to those who sensed the direness of the moment and immediately sprang into action on that terrible day, exploiting it for personal gain,' Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Tuesday. 'These were the thoughtless men and women who selfishly showed us that in desperate times, the most callous among us will always be there to step forward and do whatever it takes to get a piece of the action.' 'They sacrificed their dignity and sense of basic morality so that others might one day give to them,' Graham continued. Developers currently constructing retail space on the site of Ground Zero are among those being honored. The bill not only honors those who rushed to Ground Zero immediately to sell merchandise, participate in photo ops, or advance an ideological agenda, but also those who profited from afar by producing jingoistic songs and TV specials, or mentioning 9/11 in stump speeches as a way of scaring people into voting for them. Among those Americans recognized were 'United We Stand' T-shirt manufacturer Gary Tabano, country artists Toby Keith and Lee Greenwood, Halliburton CEO David Lesar, filmmaker Oliver Stone, former president George W. Bush, and 89 members of Congress itself. After apologizing for the 'needless delay' in honoring the shameless bottom-feeders, lawmakers confirmed the measure would establish a special fund for the 9/11 First Capitalizers, helping those individuals collect whatever funds and resources they somehow didn't manage to rake in hand over fist in the hours, days, and months following our nation's darkest hour. 'From Blackwater founder Erik Prince to the people who marketed those 'Heroes of the World Trade Center' trading cards, these Americans did things most of us can scarcely even imagine,' Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) said. 'And after all they do, they still somehow find time to sleep like babies every night.' Also singled out for recognition were Ashland, OR resident Linda Banks, 48, who continues to trot out her maudlin, self-serving story of where she was on 9/11 every single time she sees an opportunity, and Canton, OH resident Geoff Markum, 29, who, soon after the terrorist attack, began replacing his favorite punch line, 'That was worse than the Holocaust!' with 'That was worse than 9/11!' When reached for comment, a number of First Capitalizers were more than willing to step forward and share their heart-numbing tales of exploitation and greed. 'I'm no hero. I just did what any opportunist would do,' said World Trade Center leaseholder Larry Silverstein, who tried to collect double on his $3.5 billion insurance policy by arguing that the towers had been hit by two separate planes. 'After all, I couldn't just stand idly by and do nothing to benefit myself while the entire country suffered.' Congress also announced that it would be dedicating a special plaque on the National Mall containing the names of all 12,554,310 Americans who eventually capitalized on the tragedy with their bullshit advertising, partisan rhetoric, forgettable novels, defense contracts, and all-around cheap, manipulative sentimentalism. In related news, the White House announced this week that work continues apace on the multitrillion-dollar monuments to the exploitation of 9/11 currently underway in Afghanistan and Iraq. 
3	On the Ground in Cyprus, Day 2: As the Dust Settles, Talk of Reciprocity and Whispers of RetributionPatrick Henningsen The tension fueled by the fear of financial loss and hardship was palpable yesterday morning when the banks finally opened up after 15 days, but no major incidents took place in Nicosia. The Cypriots surprised the world again on Friday, re-enforcing their reputation as the most calm, cool and collected member of the European Union. This is probably due to the fact that this particular Mediterranean civilisation, in the words of one old resident, has been occupied for 3,000 years. Thats not diminishing the present-day reality of an island divided by a war with Turkey in 1974, and a capital city which now has its own version of Check Point Charlie dividing Greek Cyprus and Turkish Cyprus. Former President Demetris Christofias has become one such focus of the peoples anger. Lucious Petrou, a retired local farmer says, Imagine the timing of Christofias resigning only five weeks ago, and then our banks closing their doors three weeks later? Our Communist President came into power with a 1 billion euro surplus and left with what will be a 17.5 billion euro debt to the international bankers. Where is he now? Most residents are confident that Christofias will be dragged into the dock during the upcoming judicial inquiry into the banking collapse. Of course, thats the big question on everyones minds: why Cyprus? Why now? Social Democrat and avowed communist Demetris Christofias came to power in 2008 through a coalition government, after campaigning on the populist platform of the reunification of Cyprus, bringing the Greek and Turkish sides together in a bi-zonal federal state. The people liked the idea, but instead they got an economic meltdown. We also discovered that there are also 30,000 plus Chinese who have established a burgeoning European beachhead in nearby Pathos, and one would expect that there were at least a few hundred Chinese millionaires, or billionaires, who took a sizable haircut too this week but you wont find that one in the mainstream media. One other name kept coming up again, and again, as we combed the back streets of the old town in Nicosia. His name is Andreas Vgenopoulos, the Greek tycoon and chairman of the controversial Marfin Investment Group, and the man who inflated the now failed Laiki Banks financial balloon which was doomed to pop three weeks ago, taking the whole of the Cyprus economy down with it. The story behind his inflated success and failure is a bizarre Mnage trois between Dubai, Athens and Nicosia. It appears that Mr Vgenopoulos steered a massive Ponzi scheme which attracted the usual suspect crowd of high-flying financiers, naive and corrupt politicians and overpaid government bureaucrats, who flocked to his over-cooked honey pot of accessible capital backed up the same junk bonds and overvalued paper which brought down Cypruss northern EU neighbor Greece only 2 years earlier. By the time Cypriots knew what was going on, the bottom had already fallen out of their balance sheet forcing Nicosia to go cap in hand to the ECB, and later to the IMF. Vgenopoulos, it seems, was the Troikas agent provocateur in this story he lit the match, left the building with all the loot and watch it burn from across the sea. Whats worse, however, is that the elite Troika (Brussels, Berlin and the IMF) had known about this contagion and also that Cyprus would collapse well in advance of this months bank holiday but they just stood back and watched as the moussaka hit the fan, to swoop in with more crisis loans which has ultimately given them complete financial control over the economic destiny of the island. Its like the heroin dealer trying help a recovering addict by giving them a kilo of smack. What will happen if the European and Cyprus banks re-hypothecate all this new debt-based issued money from the Troika? And what about the bankers using these latest loans to parlay a piece of Cypruss untapped gas and oil reserves? Well find out in a year, until then, its watch and wait. Even worse, imagine the heroin dealer, after giving the recovering addict a final kilo smack, proceeds to steal the addicts furniture, sell-off his house and cut the wages and pensions of everyone living in the house. When the dust settles, it doesnt take a genius to figure out that every Cypriot will know who robbed them, and how it was done. Now, in their deceptive laid-back fashion it seems, the people are deciding how best to even the score. Please visit Patrick Henningsens website 21st Century Wire for his latest reports and videos. 
2	Israel Prime Minister DESTROYS Obama, Says What Needs To Be Said About Orlando Massacre Following the attacks in Orlando, Prime Minister Netanyahu took to social media to teach Obama a lesson about how to support the LGBT community and acknowledge the very real threats at hand. His recent post is eye-opening and powerful. Obama could take some notes. Read his comments below, watch the video, and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Netanyahu? In Orlando, a terrorist walks into a nightclub and murders nearly 50 human beings. Sons and daughters, brothers and sisters cut down in cold blood. 
1	According to team sources, members of the Philadelphia Eagles staff were incredibly troubled Friday after new starting quarterback Nick Foles began asking about the most effective ways to tear an ACL. I was a little confused when out of the blue Nick asks me about the best way to suffer a serious knee injury, but I became really concerned when he asked if theres a particular popping sound to listen for when the ACL snaps, said Eagles head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder, adding that the rookie quarterback asked him several times to physically demonstrate the precise twisting motion required to totally rip the ligament to shreds. The whole time he kept saying he was just curious to learn about the body, but then he asked if there was an easy way to also tear the PCL and MCL at the same time, and specifically whether that would sideline a football player for at least a couple months. It was all very worrying. At press time, a smiling Foles was reportedly being carted off the teams practice field. 
2	BREAKING: Third Journalist Beheaded By ISIS Terrorists According to recent reports, ISIS has released yet another video of a violent beheadingthis time of British aid worker David Haines. He was executed in the same brutal fashion as the two American journalists. Haines was a 44-year-old father of two from Scotland, who was working for a French aid agency called ACTED. The video, titled A Message to Allies of America shows Haines in an orange jump-suit kneeling beside a man with a London accent. The executioner takes moment to address British Prime Minister David Cameron, announcing that the beheading is retribution for your evil alliance with America, which continues to strike the Muslims of Iraq. The video ends with a daunting threat to kill a fourth man, Alan Henning, who they claim is a British hostage of the group. The murder of David Haines is an act of pure evil, Cameron tweeted following the release of the video. My heart goes out to his family who have shown extraordinary courage and fortitude. [We will] do everything in our power to hunt down these murderers and ensure they face justice, however long it takes. The video followed a prime-time speech given from President Obama, where he announced an open-ended campaign to combat ISIS. Britain had offered its support to America, saying that it has been sending arms to Kurdish fighters battling the group and supporting American airstrikes with both surveillance and intelligence. Britain is just one of the partners that is working to bring down the violent terrorist organization. According to Obama, we are working in concert with a broad coalition of allies. Haines family has spoken out about the tragedy, stating that he was a fantastic man and father. What do you think of the incident? Does ISIS need to be stopped? 
2	Patriotic Student Wears American Flag TAccording to recent reports, the California Supreme Court is getting involved in the case of a group of Live Oak High School students in San Jose, California who wore American flag shirts on Cinco de Mayo in 2010. The ruling will determine whether the group acted within their First Amendment rights, or whether the assistant principal was justified in ordering students to conceal their clothing. The Los Angeles Times reported that the schools assistant principal feared violence in response to the shirts. He therefore ordered the group to take off their shirts, turn them inside out, or leave. The students made the decision to leave. The appeal in the Dariano vs. Morgan Hill Unified School District asked the justices to decide whether wearing the American flag can truly be considered an unnecessary provocation. This is heartbreaking to the students and parents who see the flag as a symbol of national unity, William Becker, the attorney the sued the school reported. It rewards those who believe the flag is a symbol of hostility toward minorities. If they think there is a problem, then dont hold a Cinco de Mayo celebration. What do you think? Should the Supreme Court be standing up for First Amendment rights? 
3	FEMA Opens Loan Window As Red Cross Tries To Shut Down SheltersBy Brandon Turbeville After the cleanup had begun and the issue morphed into getting the victims out of the shelters, many people thought that the cavalry finally arrived when FEMA announced it was coming to town to assess the damages and the need of the community for aid. Unfortunately for those who dont fully understand the nature of such organizations, FEMA has been anything but a cavalry. In fact, despite an annual budget of nearly $14 billion a year, FEMA has done virtually nothing other than assess damages. The agency did not come with water, sandbags, food, blankets or anything else necessary for flood victims. All it brought was an expensive van and lots of paperwork. So what does FEMA actually do besides assess? And why on earth would it need $14 billion to assess anything? The answer? Besides creating the blueprint to use a natural disaster, military conflict, economic collapse, and social unrest as justification to set up domestic internment camps alongside the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA acts as a facilitator for loans and loan assistance to victims who have lost their homes and their livelihood. Instead of providing trailers (preferably free of toxic chemicals) to victims, FEMA is instead focused on providing low interest loans through the Small Business Administration. While no one is arguing that loan assistance program is the problem, many would rightly wonder why, if this is all FEMA will do in an actual emergency, is there an annual budget of $14 billion? For many people, FEMA is just another in a long line of useless and overrated organizations reaping the benefits of the disaster relief industrial complex. The Red Cross, for instance, is notorious for sucking up large sums of money and disappearing, leaving only a fragile house or two behind them to prove that they did, technically speaking, build homes for disaster victims. In Mullins, for example, where the organization ran the shelter for the Hurricane Matthew victims, the Red Cross was seen as a hindrance as much as it was a help. While the organizations help in running the shelter was appreciated, it was reported by an overwhelming numbers of people in the Mullins area who attempted to bring food and supplies to the victims that the Red Cross rudely refused their assistance. In fact, any and all hot food brought by members of the community was actually turned away. Likewise, supplies donated by citizens and people of the surrounding areas were taken in but not actually distributed, instead being shipped to other locations. The Red Cross, in Mullins, actively prevented the community from coming to aid their friends and neighbors. Predictably, after the media cameras were gone and the words Hurricane Matthew fell from the headlines, the Red Cross decided to close the last remaining shelter, which was still housing over 80 people at the time. The shelter victims were given only a matter of a few days prior knowledge that they were about to be homeless in the traditional manner, i.e., that they would soon be sleeping on the street. Oh, and they were directed to FEMA to apply for their low-interest loans. As is typical with the Red Cross and many organizations like it, when the glory of being the selfless disaster relief organization faded, so did its interest in the people it was allegedly there to assist. As WPDE TV 15 reported, After Hurricane Matthew, the Red Cross opened 95 shelters statewide and 24 in our area. Now, there is only one left open, the National Guard Armory in Mullins. As of Monday night, this shelter still has more than 70 people staying there. However, they plan on closing it Thursday at 3 p.m. All the people staying at the shelter were evacuated from Nichols after the Little Pee Dee River and Lumber River flooded the town. We dont have a home to go to. Thats what Im telling Red Cross. What are you all going to do with us when you close Thursday? We have a shelter full of people that they dont have a home, said Margaret Tart, whos staying at the shelter and lived in Nichols. She continued. How can you close a shelter and put us out? After outcry from citizens in Mullins and the subsequent negative attention in the local press, however, the Red Cross reversed its decision to close the shelters. WPDE reported the next day, About 70 people were still staying there as of Monday night and all had been evacuated from Nichols after the Little Pee Dee River and Lumber River flooded the town. Shelter officials were planning to close it as of 3 p.m. on Thursday, but Palm said that decision has changed. We reached an accommodation with our partners and they decidedthat they could keep the shelter open as long as was needed there, he said. The disaster response from the Red Cross and FEMA should serve as a lesson not only to Marion County citizens but to every single American. When disaster strikes, you cannot depend on multi-million dollar relief organizations nor can you depend upon FEMA or any other government agency. While I argue that FEMA should be redirected to act as what it was allegedly created to be a crisis management organization that provides material and logistical support to relief, rescue, and rebuilding operations, we have to recognize where we actually stand. In the meantime and, unfortunately, in the real world, communities must accept the fact that they are on their own when it comes to disasters. Stronger connections within the community must be built and maintained, and the people of both rural and urban areas must begin to make plans and preparations to act for themselves and their neighbors when outside agencies and organizations are not there for them. But back to that giant FEMA budget . . . .

The Red Cross is a Rockefeller tentacle greedy p.o.s. took the $500 million donated for 9-11 victims instead sunk it into their corporate infrastructure costssame goes with Haiti etc etc but they had to fight over the scraps when the Clinton Foundation vacuumed it all up leaving the natives to their own devicesunfuknbeeeleeevable hubris chutzpah You said it!! Sickening, they will be back in the whitehouse in jan. after they steal the sElection. Thats un fuknbelievable too!! Wtf, i knew this woyld happwn, but knowing it then SEEING IT is insane. absolutely As much as Im not a Christian, still respect the good work of the Salvation Army. They take people in to help them by offering affordable clothes, food and even try pointing toward volunteered housing. They ask though for a gesture of gratitude, you volunteer and do your part to help their work. They help people help themselves. Know they might be seen as pure as the whitest snow but at least they seem willing to serve a better cause where others do not. They also kick children out onto the street when their parents bring drugs into the shelters. I was told that If the parents really cared about their kids My response was a resounding. You are abusing children who have no control over adults to justify your holier than thou attitude. You are despicable human beings. Another worthless gubber agency. Seriously the government has turned disasters into a business 
2	What Obama Just Said About Jesus Christ Will Make You ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS According to recent reports, President Barack Obama, who likes to pretend to be a Christian whenever its convenient, is using the Bible to defend his transgender bathroom agenda. You read that right. My reading of scripture tells me that [the] Golden Rule is pretty high up there in terms of my Christian belief, Obama said during a town hall meeting in Elkhart, Indiana. Obama is referring to The Gold Rule in the Bible, not the one commonly referred to by parents and educators. So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. (Matthew 7:12) What happened and what continues to happen is you have transgender kids in schools and they bullied and they get ostracized and its tough for them, Obama commented. I have profound respect for everybodys religious beliefs on this, but if youre at a public school, the question is, how do we just make sure that children are treated with kindness. That last statement sounds noble, but the truth is that Obama is not protecting Christians or their children. In fact, hes only putting them at risk. What do you think of Obamas comments? 
2	Michelle Obama Suffers Humiliating Wardrobe Malfunction During European Vacation Once again, Michelle Obama is off in Europe with her two daughters spending American tax dollars. According to reports, Michelle Obama landed to Venice with Sasha and Malia after spending $128,781 in Milan for just in days. While the First Lady was obviously intending to live a life of luxury and glamour, she was humiliated when she exited the plan at the US Army Garrison Vicenza. Reports indicate that Michelle was coming down off of the plan when she experienced a Marilyn moment and her skirt flew up. Fortunately, she was able to catch it before the public got a full upskirt shot. Michelle and the First Daughters met with military families on the base. While the gesture seems selfless, it is clear from the photographs that Malia and Sasha were less than pleased. What do you think? Are you ready for the Obamas to be out of the White House? 
3	Californias vigilante police justice: Trial by machine gunRuth Hull Downey, California: May 4, 2013. Family and friends of Michael Nida gathered at the Memorial site where he was machinegunned to death by Downey Police officer Steven Gilley. The purpose of the gathering was to remember the father of four who lost his life on the way to celebrate his birthday with his wife. On October 22, 2011, Michael Lee Nida and his wife Naily were on their way to celebrate his upcoming birthday. They had stopped at an Arco station at the corner of Paramount and Imperial Highway in Downey. Michaels father, after whom Michael was named, recounted the events of the night his son died. He recalled that his son already had been afraid of the police because of what he had seen in Los Angeles. That night, that fear proved justified. The following information is based on the fathers account. While Michaels wife waited for him at the gas station, he walked across Imperial Highway to a strip mall to pick up cigarettes. However he was stopped for jaywalking by Officer Blanca Reyes and forced to sit down on a curb. Fear of the police caused him to get up from the curb and take off back across Imperial Highway. After crossing the street, Michael continued between the gas station and a Walgreens. According to Michaels father, after being shot, Michael proceeded between the gas station and what was then a Kentucky Fried Chicken Restaurant towards Paramount. He got to the sidewalk and continued south, falling into the street near a tree, a little past the KFC. Instead of being able to celebrate her husbands birthday, wife Naily was present when her beloved Michael died. Her children had to learn that the father they loved had been machine gunned in the back by the police though he was innocent and unarmed. A point of interest is that these people wanted to help others. Nobody showed any animosity towards the police and there were no exhibitions of anger. Instead of expressing resentment, they held hands and prayed together. Their concern was educating and protecting the public. They were worried about the danger posed to other potential recipients of police bullets.. Michaels supporters have taken the name Nidas Rydas and have been handing out cards advising people of what to do if stopped . They hope the advice will help limit the number of future victims. A legal case was filed against the officers and the City of Downey and will be heard soon in downtown Los Angeles. This writers uncle was on the LAPD for 18 years, and told about how officers are trained to shoot to kill. America, while disarming a citizenry that is not trained to kill, is arming police forces with bigger and deadlier weapons, weapons that could be turned on anyone you love. Why is gun control solely aimed at disarming those who have never killed and do not plan to kill? If there is gun control, shouldnt it also apply to those who have killed and are willing to kill again and again? Ruth Hull is an activist and writer whose career has included work as a criminal defense attorney, a licensed private investigator, and an educator. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	BREAKING NEWS: State Votes To Fully Nullify Obamas Policies It appears that the American people have reached the last straw when it comes to Obamas overstep, and the interference of the public may just be the push that the government needs to get the ball rolling. According to recent reports, certain states are taking it upon themselves to take action without the help of Obama, in a similar fashion that he likes to take action without Congress. Arizona recently announced that they will be voting on whether or not to nullify Obamas policies in the state, and it appears that other states are also interested in the idea. Arizonas efforts, it passed, would allow the state to nullify any policy put forth by Obama or any president that the state individually decides is unconstitutional. According to The New American: This constitutional amendment provides a mechanism for the state to recognize a specific federal regulation or law to be an overreach of federal powers. This could be initiated by a 1) ballot measure or 2) vote of the legislature and governor. Upon this determination, the state would withhold state financial resources and personnel from enforcement of such federal action. The federal government would be free to enforce the action with its own personnel (and money) and the state may still pursue relief from the court system. Furthermore, the Tenth Amendment Center details that, If passed, the state constitutional amendment would make the feds enforce, enact and pay for its unconstitutional actions and programs on their own. What do you think of Arizonas initiative? 
2	Hank Williams III Gives CHILLING Tribute To His Grandfather That Left The Crowd STUNNED Hank Williams is one of the greatest country performers of all time. He is my favorite and the favorite of many of my friends. His music lives on today and new country has to respect how amazing he was. His sound was unique and his character amazing. Hank Williams was one of the first super stars in country music and his legend lives on. His son, Hank Williams Jr. is amazing. His grandson, Hank Williams III, is even more amazing than his father. Hank Williams III is more like his grandfather than his dad. His looks and sound made me do a double take. Hank Williams passed away too early in 1953. In 2003, the 50th anniversary of Hanks death, the Grand Ole Opry held a tribute for the country great. Many performers attended, but the most anticipated performances were from Hanks son and grandson. Both of them played perfectly and gave every crowd member chills. Hank III, I believe, put on the better performance, but I am biased. Hank III plays like his grandfather did and that is my style of country. He is an amazing singer and guitarist. Seeing Hank on stage made me wish I saw his grandfather. Hank is accompanied by an assortment of instruments as background music. The fiddle player even has a solo. Hank decided to play Howlin At The Moon. It is an amazing song about a man falling madly in love with a woman. The song is comedic and very catchy. Hank performs the song perfectly and makes the crowd go wild. You can hear the crow whooping and hollering. I wish I had been there to dance to this song. I cant stop moving in my seat right now. You have to love this type of music it just makes you happy. The entire Williams family is unbelievable and their legend will always live on. 
1	As the Trail Blazers face off against the Spurs in the second round of the NBA Playoffs this week, an unsettling ESPN.com article published Friday reportedly disturbed readers by praising Portlands roster of young, tantalizingly voluptuous basketball talent. This is a team packed deep with young, hot, firm playmakers, read an excerpt from the comprehensive team profile by ESPN analyst Tim Legler, which contains extensive descriptions of a tender yet simultaneously rock-hard team and includes over 500 words devoted to the throbbing backcourt presence of Blazers point guard Damian Lillard. These guys have everything: finesse, energy, and more than a little bit of sass. And with so many of them younger than 24 years of age, well be able to keep our eyes on their lithe, muscular, tempting bodies for many, many years to come. I for one am definitely looking forward to it. According to sources, the article is the seventh such story authored by Legler this year. 
3	Serious Financial Trouble Is Erupting In Germany And JapanMichael Snyder German stocks have declined 10 percent since July, and that puts them in correction territory. In Japan, the economy is a total mess right now. According to figures that were just released, Japanese GDP contracted at a 7.1 percent annualized rate during the second quarter and private consumption contracted at a 19 percent annualized rate. Could a financial collapse in either of those nations be the catalyst that sets off financial dominoes all over the planet? This week, the worst German industrial production figure since 2009 rattled global financial markets. Germany is supposed to be the economic rock of Europe, but at this point that rock is starting to show cracks. And certainly the civil war in Ukraine and the growing Ebola crisis are not helping things either. German investors are becoming increasingly jittery, and as I mentioned above the German stock market has already declined10 percent since July And when you look at some of the biggest corporate names in Germany, things look even more dramatic. Just check outsome of these numbers Meanwhile, things in Japan appear to be going from bad to worse. The government of Japan ismore than a quadrillion yen in debt, and it has been furiously printing money and debasing the yen in a desperate attempt to get the Japanese economy going again. Unfortunately for them, it is simply not working. The revised economic numbers for the second quarter were absolutely disastrous. The following comes from a Japanese news source For the moment, things are looking pretty good in the United States. But as I have written about so many times, our financial markets are perfectly primed for a fall. Other experts see things the same way. Just consider whatJohn Hussman wrote recently And it isnt just stocks that could potentially be on the verge of a massive decline. The bond market is also experiencing an unprecedented bubble right now. And when that bubble bursts, the carnage will be unbelievable. This has become so obvious that evenCNBC is talking about it If the strength of our financial markets reflected overall strength in the U.S. economy there would not be nearly as much cause for concern. But at this point our financial markets have become completely and totally divorced from economic reality. The truth is that our economic fundamentals continue to decay. In fact, the IMF says that China now has the largest economy on the planet on a purchasing power basis. The era of American economic dominance is ending. It is just that the financial markets have not gotten the memo yet. Hopefully we still have at least a few more months before stock markets all over the world start crashing. But remember, we are entering the seventh year of the seven year cycle of economic crashes that so many people are talking about these days. And we are definitely primed for a global financial collapse. Sadly, most people did not see the crash of 2008 coming, and most people will not see the next one coming either.

2	Conversations About Removing Hamilton From $10 Bill Underway Over the past few months, race baiters have been pushing the United States government to put the face of Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. Now, it appears that they may actually be making progress. While the $20 bill is not set to change, Secretary of the Treasury Jack Lew recently announced that the $10 will no longer feature only the face of Alexander Hamilton. Moving forward, it will also include the image of a woman, who has not yet been named. Im proud to announce today that the new $10 bill will be the first bill in more than a century to feature the portrait of a woman, Lew told Business Insider. This historic endeavor has been years in the making. The women who will appear on the bill will be decided in the coming months. The new $10 bill is expected to appear in 2020, which marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment. That was when American women were granted the right to vote. Lew is pushing for a woman who was a champion for our inclusive democracy. In order to be named a candidate, the woman featured can no longer be living. What do you think of the proposed change? Is Harriet Tubman a good candidate for the bill? 
1	Calling it a sensible way to help Americans put aside a little extra money, President Barack Obama announced Thursday his intention to reduce costs by packing a weekday lunch for all 318 million United States residents. Providing each citizen with a baggie of baked tortilla chips, some baby carrots, and a Red Delicious apple is a simple way to help bring down their daily expenses while also making sure they have a wholesome, tasty meal at the same time, Obama told reporters in the White House kitchen early this morning as he began laying out the 636 million slices of bread for the nations turkey sandwiches. In just a few weeks, I think most Americans will find that the savings really add up. All right, so thats no tomatoes for Jennifer Burgess of Twin Falls, Idaho, and let me just slip this note of encouragement into Aidan Danielsons lunch bag before his big spelling test. There. All set. At press time, sources confirmed that upon receiving their lunches, most Americans had simply thrown theirs away and bought something from the work vending machine. 
3	2013 in Review: Revelations, Tragedy, and Fighting BackRainey Reitman This was the year we received confirmation and disturbing details about the NSA programs that are sweeping up information on hundreds of millions of people in the United States and around the world. This set off a cascade of events, from EFFs newest lawsuit against the NSA to protests in the streets to a United Nations resolution to Congressional bills both promising and terrifying. In December, a federal judge even found the surveillance likely unconstitutional, calling it almost-Orwellian. It was also a year we lost a beloved friend and activist, Aaron Swartz. Aaron was a fellow freedom fighter working to bring the world access to knowledge. Were still mourning his suicide, which was spurred in part by an aggressive prosecution under the vaguely worded and over-penalized Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). In his memory, EFF and our friends at Demand Progress created a coalition to fight for reform of the CFAA. We also went on the offensive against patent trolls with our new website TrollingEffects.org. Patent trolls buy up patentsoften vague software patents that should never have been issued in the first placeand use them to bully legitimate companies. EFF attorneys fought back on behalf of the victims of patent trolls, including podcasters like the Adam Corolla Show. We then took the battle to Congress, where a bill designed to tackle patent trolls called the Innovation Act successfully passed the House of Representatives. We wouldnt be able to do our work without the support of more than 26,000 card-carrying EFF members. Join us. 2013 in Review Tragedy Brings CFAA Into the Spotlight And just for fun, heres a graphical interpretation of the words most frequently used on the Deeplinks blog in 2013: 
3	New Harvard Study Says Chemicals Cause Neurobehavioral EffectsCatherine J. Frompovich Two physicians, Philippe Grandjean, MD, and Philip J Landrigan, MD, whose research in neurobehavioral effects was published in The Lancet Neurology [1] March 2014 issue, state that industrial chemicals injure the developing brain and are the cause of their widespread rise. In their 2014 study, the doctors named manganese, fluoride, chlorpyrifos, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, tetrachloroethylene, and the polybrominated diphenyl ethers that they added to five previous chemicals they wrote about in their 2006 paper: lead, methylmercury, polychlorinated biphenyls, arsenic, and toluene. Its rather profoundly ironic that fluoride, which dentistry has touted as a prophylactic dental health benefit since the 1960s, is now being demonized as contributing to neurobehavioral disabilities, especially since its been implicated in lower IQ test scores. [2] And, paradoxically, fluoride, a protoplasmic poison, is added to most municipal water sources in the USA. [3] Ever since day one that fluoride was supplemented into municipal water systems in the USA, I opposed it and did my best not to consume it even to this day, I dont drink it. In my practice as a consulting natural nutritionist, I always advised clients to avoid eating, drinking, or cooking with fluoridated water, plus avoiding bathing in it, as fluoride can be absorbed through the skin. Furthermore, I did not approve of fluoride drops [4] that pediatricians prescribed for children. For those convictions, I was called a quack. If that newly-documented detrimental fluoride information doesnt tear a hole in medical sciences validity, accuracy, and transparency, perhaps, nothing will for anyone, including the medical profession, its acolytes, and apologists. What really validates the two doctors research statement is the fact that more and more healthcare agencies and consumers now are recognizing that there is an inordinate number of cognitive impairments in humans, especially in the USA where children seem to take the brunt of chemical application toxicity. How? Well, let me explain. Just about everyone in the USA has to drink fluoridated water to live. Most children are fed fluoride in water via infant formulas, in food, or as an added pediatrician-prescribed supplement. Furthermore, their pregnant mothers most likely ingested fluoridated water. Babies, in particular, get inordinate amounts of fluoride relative to their small size, weight, and inability to detoxify chemicals, including and especially those toxins that get injected with vaccines, thus contributing to more neurological and neurobehavioral effects. Another fact that Drs. Grandjean and Landrigan ought to take into consideration, I feel strongly about, is how man-made petro-chemicals interact with human DNA/RNA that can cause adducts, plus the role of epigenetics, particularly since hundreds of thousands of chemicals have come into daily living in the last hundred years and since 1994, GMO agriculture toxic chemical sprays. I talk about those issues in great detail 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. Probably the most diabolical contribution of toxic chemicals harming children is one that most people revere as lifesaving and/or disease prevention ideologies: vaccines! The laundry list of toxic and neurotoxic chemicals, plus other foreign materials [5], e.g., animal tissues, aborted fetal cell lines, mycoplasma, etc., that are inoculated into a less-than-ten-pound infant, especially within 24 hours of birth (Hepatitis B vaccine), ought to be considered nothing short of child abuse! Lets not forget the influenza vaccines that pregnant women now are mandated to receive, which affect the fetus. In my 2013 book, Vaccination Voodoo, What YOU Dont Know About Vaccines, available on Amazon.com, I devote chapter 2 to both the 2011 Pink Book list of vaccine ingredients and the 2012 version, which the CDC revised apparently to appear more benign, Id say. Unfortunately, no one in medicine is taking on vaccine chemicals as a contributing factor to childrens poor health problems. Shouldnt they? After all, childrens health problems now are at an all-time-high rate for chronic diseases usually associated with elderly folks. In 2010, WebMD Childrens Health published Rise in Chronic Childhood Health Problems. The University of Michigan Health System has a comprehensive site devoted to that problem, Children with Chronic Conditions. And, Healthy Children.org devotes a website to Coping with Chronic Illness. No one can deny that childhood chronic diseases are on the rise. However, I can attest to the fact that U.S. children are in serious health trouble territory, i.e., having switched from contracting communicable infectious diseases, e.g., mumps, measles, etc., which actually improved immune response and provided what is considered life-long immunity, to an unheard-of pandemic-like spate of chronic diseases, especially childhood cancers. According to the American Childhood Cancer Organization, About one in 300 boys and one in 333 girls will develop cancer before their 20th birthday. [6] The communicable infectious/chronic disease switch coincided, coincidentally, and parallels with, the overwhelming vaccine mandates starting in the late 1980s! When I was a child growing up during the Second World War, I and all my little friends contracted everything that came down the pike. NO ONE DIED, and we didnt have the medicines doctors have today; mothers used home remedies! Furthermore, our immune systems were strengthened as a result, and females were able to pass on to their children whats called passive immunity. Today that ability is almost lost because most child-bearing-age females have been vaccinated and their immune systems have been damaged thereby compromising to some degree, the passing on of innate immune factors to their developing fetuses, plus in their breast milk, whats called passive immunity. What vaccinology is doing, in essence, is reprogramming the human immune system to reboot with what is called adaptive immunity, adaptive immune response, or an antigen response. The reasons and probable need for booster shots or vaccinations ostensibly is this: In adaptive immunity the response is directed only to the vaccine-covered agents that initiate a response, therefore, the need to keep vaccinating and supplying booster vaccine active antigens, which also include neurotoxic and toxic manufacturing chemicals, in order to provide whats termed immunity for specific communicable diseases. In reality, its an antigen response! Whereas, in innate immunity when not interfered with or hobbled by vaccines, a same overall response is provided to a wide variety of infectious agents [communicable disease microbes] that can initiate attack responses. Thats why unvaccinated children are vastly more healthy than vaccinated kids. [7] Heres something I think is a conundrum, which needs to be considered: Advertisements promoting the disease-contraction fear factor! All vaccination campaigns disseminate and instill a dreaded fear of contracting a communicable disease, even the common cold. However, fully-vaccinated children now are contracting numerous vaccine-diseases, especially whooping cough. Heres proof: Study: Whooping cough outbreak linked to vaccinated children. Thats not the only vaccine-disease! Numerous outbreaks have occurred in fully-vaccinated children. Check out the following pie charts. In those contracting four communicable diseases [pertussis, measles, mumps, and chickenpox], over 90 percent were fully vaccinated. Independent research not necessarily Big Pharmas indicates neurotoxins and toxic chemicals contribute to chronic diseases and other serious health problems such as autism, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and even death. The CDCs VAERS reporting system confirms hundreds of thousands of adverse reactions to vaccines, which damage health often permanently, and for which, except for a few, there is no financial relief for vaccinees or their parents who must foot medical bills due to vaccines gone wrong. A classic vaccine-gone-wrong-example can be found in HPV vaccines. SaneVax, Inc. displays on its home webpage this information: HPV Vaccine VAERS Reports Up to January 2014, which includes 157 deaths, 33,311 Adverse Events, 6,653 Not Recovers, plus more frightening statistics. Man-made and petro-chemicals are causing more problems that Drs. Grandjean and Landrigan can imagine. As far as Im concerned, their research isnt going fast enough for me. The only problem is: Who will listen? Ironically, the medical paradigm that modern medicine is built upon is man-made toxic chemicalsprescription drugs, which can be patented; enjoy mega-bucks global sales; and then may be recalled because of class action lawsuits. However, there is no such legal track for vaccines. Their manufacturers were given a get out of jail free card by the U.S. Congress in 1986 and innocent children and their families have been paying the price ever since. Go figure!

2	Sarah Palin Releases Response To Oregon Shooting, Instantly Goes Viral This weekend, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin followed GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson by posting a picture on Facebook holding a sign reading I am a Christian. By yesterday morning, the post had already acquired almost a quarter-million likes and shares. Following the tragedy in Oregon, Carson uploaded a picture of himself holding up a handmade sign reading Yes, #IamaChristian. The action was a response to the Oregon shooter, who specifically targeted Christians in the shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, OR. What do you think? Do you support Palin and Carson for taking a stand while Obama tries to strip Americans of our Second Amendment rights? 
1	Holed up in their apartment while Hurricane Sandy continues its path up the East Coast, local couple Tim Zucchino, 29, and Helen Powell, 27, told reporters today they were glad to finally get a chance to have all those bitter and tense arguments theyve been avoiding for the past few months. Now that Tim and I are trapped alone in our small one-bedroom apartment for God knows how long, well definitely take this opportunity to have some of those big fights about our communication issues weve been putting off, said Powell, sitting next to a nodding Zucchino, who added that he was looking forward to making that petty comment about Helens compulsive tidiness that [he] didnt get around to last week. Sometimes, we both get so caught up in work we just have no energy for our usual screaming matches over whose fault it is that we never spend any time together. But now we literally have days to sit on a couch and wallow in anger and sexual frustration. At press time, Zucchino and Powell told reporters they really hoped the power would be knocked out soon so they could start fighting about who forgot to purchase flashlight batteries. 
1	Researchers at Johns Hopkins University published a new study this week on the cognitive effects of Alzheimers disease and other deteriorative brain disorders, finding conclusive evidence that dementia sufferers fondest memories are nearly always the first to go. The five-year study, which followed a group of nearly 3,000 individuals diagnosed with dementia, found that as neurons and dendritic connections in the cerebral cortex are degraded by the disease, patients most positive recollectionssuch as falling in love for the first time or the overwhelming, indescribable joy of holding ones firstborn child just moments after their birthare eradicated much more rapidly than other types of memories. It appears that the accumulation of abnormal proteins in the brain, which underlies most forms of dementia, first affects the specific memory centers responsible for retaining the subjects most treasured reminiscences, said neurologist David Trapp, who noted that during the earliest stages of the disease, patients typically lose all recollection of their most prized personal and professional successes in life. At acute risk are memories along the lines of the heart-stopping exhilaration of that first kiss at summer camp those many years ago, as the sun slowly set out over the lake and caught the water in just such a way, almost like the lake was on fire. In fact, that type of memory is erased almost immediately. The moment you notice the first signs of dementia in a loved one, you can be certain that the majority of memories that give them any feeling of pleasure, pride, or personal fulfillment have already been forever expunged from their mind. And memory loss progresses quickly from there, Trapp continued. The moment you notice the first signs of dementia in a loved one, you can be certain that the majority of memories that give them any feeling of pleasure, pride, or personal fulfillment have already been forever expunged from their mind. Trapp added that the happier and more life-affirming a particular memory is, the faster it will be claimed by the neuropathology of dementia. Remembrances of proudly walking through the front door of ones newly purchased home or of triumphantly marching down the Champs-lyses with the knowledge of having helped defeat the greatest evil the world has ever known are typically lost within a few weeks of being diagnosed with the condition. According to the study, brain regions associated with memories of love, smiling, accomplishment, unmitigated joy, comfort, interpersonal tenderness, physical pleasure, beloved childhood pets, and self-respect appeared to be the first targeted by memory-destroying neural plaques. In fact, just the act of trying to recall the brightest days of ones youthto recapture some small sense of the profound satisfaction that came from learning and discovering and experiencing new things, of the very essence of what is good about being alivegreatly accelerates the process, Trapp said. We found that the more subjects attempted to think back to their carefree college years or their childhood escapades with friends over summer breaks, the faster these memories vanished, never to be recalled again. In addition to decimating those memories most important and sustaining to the patient, the degenerative effects of dementia seemed to spare the vast majority of the humiliating and unhappy moments from its victims lives, the study found, leaving them fully intact as the remainder of ones store of memories steadily deteriorated and disappeared. Even after subjects were robbed of their ability to recognize loved ones and the basic skills necessary to feed and clean themselves, the worst of their memories persisted, said Dr. Emily Braun, a neurobiologist at Columbia University who contributed to the study. Functional magnetic resonance imaging shows that areas of the brain that retain, for example, the memory of walking in on ones oldest and most trusted friend engaged in passionate intercourse with ones wife or of suddenly being stricken with uncontrollable diarrhea while giving a presentation at a sales conference continue to light up well after the other cortical regions have gone silent. And with complex emotional imprints, such as those stemming from a long relationship with ones spouse or children, it seems dementia selectively destroys neural circuitry related to the positive aspects of the memories in question, leaving behind only the trauma, pain, and disappointment related to these experiences, Braun added. Although more research is necessary, it appears as though the most awful recollections actually become crisper and more vivid to the patient as the disease advances. As dementia reaches its terminal stages, Braun confirmed that bitter and displeasing recollections begin to erode as well, eventually leaving each individual with only a solitary, recursive synaptic pathway comprising their single most negative memory. This instance is said to be relived in a perpetual loop, to the exclusion of all other high-level cognitive functioning. In their final months, it seems that dementia patients are left with just one exceedingly agonizing memory and nothing else, Braun said. In their minds eye, the very worst moment of their entire life is the last thing theyll ever see. 
3	The Dread Pirate HomilyBy Defense Distributed 
1	After willfully ignoring thousands of other options, reading a synopsis of the films plot, and making a conscious decision to pay $3.99 to rent it on iTunes, 32-year-old Ben Rickman announced Friday that the makers of Wrath Of The Titans had inflicted a grave insult upon his intelligence. Do they think Im some kind of idiot? said Rickman, who confirmed that he had seen the movies trailer and read numerous dismissive reviews of it. I guess the studio figured thered be plenty of morons out there whod cough up the dough to see this garbage. Unbelievable. Rickman added that he has plans to swing by Taco Bell later to eat a 7-Layer Burrito, an item he will reportedly dismiss as greasy and something that barely qualifies as food before ordering a second one. 
2	Debate Moderator Anderson Cooper Devastated After This Leaked Spanking Video Goes VIRAL [WATCH] During Sunday nights second presidential debate, moderator Anderson Cooper blatantly attacked Donald Trump for the controversial video footage that was released the previous Friday. Cooper quickly revealed his bias when he accused the Republican presidential nominee of sexual assault, based solely on an audio clip of him making inappropriate comments about women. In case you missed it, heres that interaction: Its clear that Cooper did everything he could to position Trump as a sexual predator. Its also an interesting choice for him, given that he has been anything but prude during his career. Watch the footage below of Cooper going on stage at a Madonna concert and behaving in a very inappropriate way for a CNN anchor. 
3	What Colombian Prostitutes Can Teach Us about How Government WorksBy Catherine J. Frompovich The exchange between Rep. Gowdy and Ms. Leonhart is the most outrageous indication of the total ineffectiveness of U.S. government federal agencies at some levels of responsibility, and needs to be seen and heard to be believed, I think. It is totally outrageous how the corporate culture seemingly operates within the U.S. government, and possibly at all levels of governance anywhere in the USA, sad to have to admit, I offer. One of the prime suppliers of gifts to elected officials in the USA is a group of professionalslobbyists. Until a very short and strong leash is attached to that profession, I contend that U.S. citizens will experience more and more corporate governance at all governance levelsstate and federal. Some examples of such corporate influences are: Lobbyists and their money-influencing cultureeven foreign cartels understand how perks influence corporate and government agencies culturesneed to be reined in. Lobbyists supply a tremendous amount of gifts to elected officials that influence YOUR life and how YOUR government even takes away YOUR rights in favor of vested corporate interests. Forced vaccinations are an indication, too. See whos behind introducing vaccine exemption bills. The recent MMR-Autism Study fiasco is a perfect example. For instance, the organization that conducted the study is the Lewin Group, a corporate healthcare consulting firm based in Falls Church, Virginia. The Lewin Group works with a wide range of players in the medical establishment. Most notably major pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer, Johnson Johnson and Novo Nordisk among others. It should be noted that at least two out of these three corporations are not only vaccine proponents, they are vaccine manufacturers. The Lewin Group also works with a number of major medical and pharmaceutical associations and organizations like the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America association. In addition to working with the federal, state and local governments, the Lewin Group works with a variety of foundations such as the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Heritage Foundation as well as a large number of hospitals, health systems, and healthcare providers. The Lewin Group is especially involved in major medical insurance programs like Blue Cross Blue Shield, Health Now New York, LA Care Health Plan, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and Wellcare among many others.

3	A Medical Doctor Parses Hillary Clintons Health ProblemsBy Catherine J. Frompovich However, too many videos are surfacing showing Hillary Clinton not functioning normally with all sorts of gyrations and facial expressions, displaying some sort of physical, if not neurological, problem. Those Hillary videos demand an honest medical report from Hillary Clinton, her campaign, the Democratic Party and her attending personal physician. We, the voters, are entitled to that! Since thats not happening and theres a damper on the media about questioning Hillarys health status, Ted Noel, MD, a practicing physician for 36 years, has produced a video wherein he discusses Hillarys physical symptoms from all the evidence thats been available to the public and that he pieces together medically. Dr Noels parsing is that Hillary Clinton has advanced Parkinsons disease! He discusses PDLID, a side effect of taking the most effective Parkinsons disease treatment pharmaceutical Levadopa[1]. However, those effects usually happen after taking Levadopa for quite a long time! Dr Noel feels Hillary is in the advanced stages of Parkinsons since 2012! Here is Dr Noels video. What do you think of his comments? Dont you think that the public, Democratic Party and the media should demand Hillarys accurate medical records be disclosed immediately since the public obviously is being deceived deliberately by all the cute reasons for her abnormal bodily functions, and thats not quite cricket! My only hope is that we dont find Dr Noel dead in a ditch or canal somewhere in Florida.

Vascular dementia, be gone right after the rigged voting machines annoit her to potus. The lame duck no-name potus will then get a third term. A holistic nutritional person is hardly qualified to counter a physician. Untrue. A holistic nutritional person uses their brains to make diagnosis. Physicians use non-thinking procedural option choices and accepted medieval allopathic practices. Any profession of health that does not teach their doctors real nutrition and diet are cranking out obedient-to-process idiots. You go ahead and use them to your own detriment. Pyra, You are entitled to your opinion. Yes! Ther are things they might help with, but issues like cancer, Parkinsons, etc. Nope! I know one who went to for headaches, no help. Friend went, followed to the T, condition worsened. Ended up going to regular doctor. Cousin tried for cancer, got to regular Oncologist to late. Wife tried after her lung was removed because of cancer. Passed Hi Dorrell, sorry to hear about your wifes passing and your cousin. Its hard to know when treatment will work or not, no matter holistically or chemically. I know a few folks who went to doctors and also didnt help or condition worsened. Not sure if holistic meds can help with more serious conditions. I know in my case (CHF, Afib) it didnt. However, it did help my high blood pressure, so I know it does have some benefits. John, Holistic is ok for minor things that diet, etc can help; but sorry, carrots/carrot juice will not cure cancer. Nor will NONI. We bought it 3 cases at a time. Your A-Fib, son in law had heart scarring done at a University hospital in Georgia to cure/fix the A-fib situation. Have you checked into that? He was in miserable shape for a week afterward, claimed he hurt, felt like burning in chest. Then still tender for awhile. But supposedly, no more A-Fib. Good luck, God bless. 
1	Stressing that it reflects poorly on the league as a whole, NFL officials admitted Friday that they are increasingly concerned with the apparent character issues of most fans. Frankly, the unruly and disrespectful behavior were currently seeing from many of our fans is deeply troubling, said NFL spokesman Greg Aiello, noting that the significant number of off-the-field incidentsranging from DUI arrests to instances of domestic violence and alleged gang activityrepresents a disturbing trend among current NFL fans. We of course understand that many of these fans have had difficult upbringings, and were willing to provide support and mentoring to help them avoid engaging in any sort of troublesome activity. However, every fan across the league must be held accountable for what they say and do, even insofar as the way they dress and present themselves in public. They need to understand that when they make poor decisions, it casts a negative light on the entire NFL. A league representative speaking to reporters on condition of anonymity, however, said fans are allowed to get away with anything and claimed that the league could never afford to cut ties with them. 
1	Despite enjoying the constant attention and lengthy chats on the phone every night, 16-year-old quarterback prospect Colby Spear told reporters Thursday that he is beginning to suspect his friendship with University of Alabama head coach Nick Saban was founded on ulterior motives. Coach Saban introduced himself to me right after I started breaking the passing records at my school, and it did seem kind of weird, but I just assumed he wanted to make friends with someone who loved football as much as he does, said Spear, adding that Saban, like all the other adults he knows, mostly just marvels at how fast hes growing and asks boring questions about his plans for college. Still, I cant shake the feeling that he wants something from me. Maybe its the way hes always complimenting my intangibles, suggesting Id be great in a pro-style offense, or telling me Id look really sharp in crimson and white. Spear, who did not want to rush to judgment, reportedly plans to run his theory past some of his other friends, specifically Louisiana State University football coach Les Miles when the pair meet for lunch next week. 
1	Through the ups and downs of raising four children, years of financial hardship, and all the stresses and turmoil of daily life, claims adjuster Arnold Schneider has stayed true to his wife of 42 years, despite his most determined efforts to engage in sexual intercourse outside of wedlock. 'I could never be unfaithful to Helen,' said the 63-year-old Schneider, who over the past four decades has unsuccessfully attempted extramarital relations with dozens of friends, acquaintances, work colleagues, and random strangers. 'Sure, there have been some tough times, and we all have moments of doubt, but Helen is the woman I love.' Added the man who has attempted to trade his wife in for the first willing female participant hundreds of times over, 'Even I'm amazed by that sometimes.' According to sources close to the couple, Schneider has remained grudgingly loyal and devoted to his wife from the very beginning, failing time and again to cheat on his unsuspecting bride during their honeymoon together in Acapulco. 'I'll never forget Mexicothe beaches, the stars, the amazing food and people,' said Schneider, who, as his new wife lay sound asleep in bed, would routinely sneak out of their hotel room and try in vain to hit on the young cocktail waitress tending bar downstairs. 'It was perfect. Pretty much almost perfect.' Over the next decade, Schneider remained faithful to his wife by default, repeatedly coming up short during his regular jaunts to singles clubs, at neighborhood key parties, and through the general freewheeling sexual bacchanalia of the 1970s. 'It was a crazy time and a lot of my friends didn't think twice when it came to breaking the sacred bonds of marriage,' said Schneider, who despite throwing himself at any available woman in his presence, completely failed to capitalize on his adulterous tendencies. 'But not me. No sir.' 'Not even once,' Schneider added with a heavy sigh. Despite being left with no choice but to stay committed to his marriage, the reluctant husband and father admitted that being loyal wasn't always so easy. With a growing family and increased tension at work, Schneider said there were times when he could have taken comfort in the arms of another. 'Yes, there were moments when I found myself on the verge of the unthinkable,' said Schneider, who once drove 300 miles to meet an old girlfriend from high school, only to be flatly rejected by the woman and have coffee thrown in his face. 'Still, for one reason or another, I just couldn't go through with it. And when it was all over, I could look myself in the mirror and say, 'Forty-two years, and you've never been with anyone besides your wife.' Forty-two goddamn years.' Schneider acknowledged that even in less troubling times he occasionally felt restless after four decades with the same partner. But whether he was being stood up by the woman who answered his personal ad, or unsuccessfully attempting to persuade his wife's more attractive sister to visit a clothing-optional spa, Schneider said that what mattered most was that he never once wavered. 'Heck, I've got eyes, and I'll notice a pretty face just like anyone else,' said Schneider, who at press time was still hoping to hear from a pancake house waitress he had given his business card to three weeks earlier. 'But what can I say? There's an ultimate line Arnold Schneider just can't cross. I'm not even sure I'd know how, to tell you the truth.' For her part, Helen Schneider said she had no doubt that, through it all, her husband has always been faithful. 'Maybe I'm nave,' Helen said, 'but I've known this man most of my life, and I just can't imagine him cheating on me. Honestly, Arnie's my little saint.' 
2	Trump Stuns America... Makes Massive Announcement About The White House (Its Not What You Think) One of the major perks of being elected as president of the United States is relocating your family to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington, D.C. The White House has been home to our countrys great leaders, from Thomas Jefferson to Ronald Reagan. As Yahoo.com notes, the transition may be slightly different for President-elect Donald Trump, whose current home is a $100 million penthouse in midtown Manhattan. Trumps advisers have reportedly claimed he is considering splitting his time between the White House and New York once he takes office. Many speculate that the driving force for Trumps decision will be location. Trumps penthouse is situated on Fifth Avenue, right in the heart of midtown Manhattan, with panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline and Central Park. The 66th-floor penthouse was designed by Angelo Donghia in the 1980s and gets its style inspiration from the French rococo extravagance of Louis XIV and the Palace of Versailles. Trumps home is complete with ceiling-to-floor marble columns and floors, crystal chandeliers, massive Greek sculptures and plentiful 24-karat gold accents. This is not the first time a president has decided not to stay in the White House all the time. George W. Bush spent much of his time on his ranch in Crawford, Texas. He spent every summer for his 8 years as president there. Of course, Bush was criticized for his decision, as Trump will likely be. Some Americans are already speculating Trump will have a difficult time cutting ties with his businesses. 
1	Lions owner William Clay Ford, Sr. expressed consternation and anger Monday upon realizing that Matt Millen had been acting as president and general manager of the team for the past three years. 'I could have sworn I'd fired that lunkhead back in '05 and promoted Mariucci,' Ford said when reporters questioned him about Millen leaving the team. 'I guess that's why I kept seeing him in the halls. My God, how's the team been doing?' Ford excused himself without further comment on the issue, saying he had to call star running back Barry Sanders and assure him his job with the team was safe regardless of front-office issues. 
3	Harry Reids bodyguard attacks journalist for questioning the Senators net worthPaul Lawrance How did you become so rich working in government? asked Mattera who received no response after he and Reid had formally greeted. How does someone on a government salary most of their career accumulate your type of wealth? Mattera asked once again without receiving a response. Thats when one of Reids bodyguards proceeded to put his hands on the journalist. Even after Matera identified himself as press, the goon bodyguard continued to grip him upand drive him away from the Senator. I dont care if youre press or not, the bodyguard explained. The bodyguards actions towards the journalist highlight the dislike some members of Congress have for transparency. Reid owes an apology to all journalists for the mistreatment of Mattera, as his First Amendment rights came under direct assault. Reids most recent net worth disclosure shows the Senator sitting somewhere between $2.9 and $6.7 million. Paul Lawrance writes for Eyes Open Report, where this first appeared. 
3	The Most Important Number In The Entire U.S. EconomyMichael Snyder When long-term interest rates rise, it becomes more expensive for the federal government to borrow money, it becomes more expensive for state and local governments to borrow money, existing bonds lose value and bond investors lose a lot of money, mortgage rates go up and monthly payments on new mortgages rise, and interest rates throughout the entire economy go up and this causes economic activity to slow down. On top of everything else, there are more than 440 trillion dollars worth of interest rate derivatives sitting out there, and rapidly rising interest rates could cause that gigantic time bomb to go off and implode our entire financial system. We are living in the midst of the greatest debt bubble in the history of the world, and the only way that the game can continue is for interest rates to stay super low. Unfortunately, the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries has started to rise, and many experts are projecting that it is going to continue to rise. On August 2nd of last year, the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries was just 1.48%, and our entire debt-based economy was basking in the glow of ultra-low interest rates. But now things are rapidly changing. On Wednesday, the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries hit 2.70% before falling back to 2.58% on good news from the Federal Reserve. Round numbers like 1,700 on the SP 500 are well and good, but savvy traders have their minds on another integer: 2.75 percent. That was the high for the 10-year yield this year, and traders say yields are bound to go back to that level. The one overhanging question is how stocks will react when they see that number. If we start to push up to new highs on the 10-year yield so thats the 2.75 levelI think youd probably see a bit of anxiety creep back into the marketplace, Bank of America Merrill Lynchs head of global technical strategy, MacNeil Curry, told Futures Now on Tuesday. And Curry sees yields getting back to that level in the short term, and then some. In the next couple of weeks to two months or so I think weve got a push coming up to the 2.85, 2.95 zone, he said. This rise in interest rates has been expected for a very long time it is just that nobody knew exactly when it would happen. Now that it has begun, nobody is quite sure how high interest rates will eventually go. For some very interesting technical analysis, I encourage everyone to check out an article by Peter Brandt that you can find right here. And all of this is very bad news for stocks. The chart below was created by Chartist Friend from Pittsburgh, and it shows that stock prices have generally risen as the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries has steadily declined over the past 30 years So when interest rates start going up rapidly, that is not a good thing for the stock market at all. The Federal Reserve has tried to keep long-term interest rates down by wildly printing money and buying bonds, and even the suggestion that the Fed may eventually taper quantitative easing caused the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries to absolutely soar a few weeks ago. So the Fed has backed off on the taper talk for now, but what happens if the yield on 10 year U.S. Treasuries continues to rise even with the wild money printing that the Fed has been doing? At that point, the Fed would begin to totally lose control over the situation. And if that happens, Bill Fleckenstein told King World News the other day that he believes that we could see the stock market suddenly plunge by 25 percent Lets say Ben (Bernanke) comes out tomorrow and says, We are not going to taper. But lets just say the bond market trades down anyway, and the next thing you know we go through the recent highs and a month from now the 10-Year is at 3%. And people start to realize they are not even tapering and the bond market is backed up. They will say, Why is this happening? Then they may realize the bond market is discounting the inflation we already have. At some point the bond markets are going to say, We are not comfortable with these policies. Obviously you cant print money forever or no emerging country would ever have gone broke. So the bond market starts to back up and the economy gets worse than it is now because rates are rising. So the Fed says, We cant have this, and they decide to print more (money) and the bond market backs up (even more). All of the sudden it becomes clear that money printing not only isnt the solution, but its the problem. Well, with rates going from where they are to 3%+ on the 10-Year, one of these days the SP futures are going to get destroyed. And if the computers ever get loose on the downside the market could break 25% in three days. And as I have written about previously, we have seen a huge spike in margin debt in recent months, and this could make it even easier for a stock market collapse to happen. A recent note from Deutsche Bank explained precisely why margin debt is so dangerous Margin debt can be described as a tool used by stock speculators to borrow money from brokerages to buy more stock than they could otherwise afford on their own. These loans are collateralized by stock holdings, so when the market goes south, investors are either required to inject more cash/assets or become forced to sell immediately to pay off their loans sometimes leading to mass pullouts or crashes. But of much greater concern than a stock market crash is the 441 trillion dollar interest rate derivatives bubble that could implode if interest rates continue to rise rapidly. Deutsche Bank is the largest bank in Europe, and at this point they have 55.6 trillion euros of total exposure to derivatives. But the GDP of the entire nation of Germany is only about 2.7 trillion euros for a whole year. We are facing a similar situation in the United States. Our GDP for 2013 will be somewhere between 15 and 16 trillion dollars, but many of our big banks have exposure to derivatives that absolutely dwarfs our GDP. The following numbers come from one of my previous articles entitled The Coming Derivatives Panic That Will Destroy Global Financial Markets JPMorgan Chase Citibank Bank Of America Goldman Sachs Total Exposure To Derivatives: $41,580,395,000,000 (more than 41 trillion dollars) And remember, the biggest chunk of those derivatives contracts is made up of interest rate derivatives. Just imagine what would happen if a life insurance company wrote millions upon millions of life insurance contracts and then everyone suddenly died. What would happen to that life insurance company? It would go completely broke of course. Well, that is what our major banks are facing today. They have written trillions upon trillions of dollars worth of interest rate derivatives contracts, and they are betting that interest rates will not go up rapidly. But what if they do? And the truth is that interest rates have a whole lot of room to go up. The chart below shows how the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries has moved over the past couple of decades Back in 1990, the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries hovered between 8 and 9 percent. If we return to normal levels, our financial system will implode. There is no way that our debt-addicted system would be able to handle it. So watch the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries very carefully. It is the most important number in the entire U.S. economy. If that number gets too high, the game is over.

2	Look Who Is Sending 150,000 Ground Troops To Kill ISIS... Hint, Not Obama According to recent reports, the Russian military has just launched cruise missiles against ISIS. The attacks originated from the Mediterranean and Caspian seas. One of the attacks reportedly killed more than 600 terrorists located in the Deir Ex-Zor Province, according to claims from Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu. And this is just the beginning. Vladimir Putin claims that he intends to send 150,000 troops to Syria, and has been hinting at joining the West after the attacks in Paris. Next on the agenda for Russia is taking control of Raqqa, the so-called Caliphate of ISIS. What do you think? Do you support Russia taking action? Does Obama continue to make America look weak amid these other world leaders? 
3	Inspiring Community Solutions For Feeding The HomelessBy selfnews Post The political backdrop to homelessness is discussed, including the trend toward criminalizing homelessness and those who wish to feed the homeless. There is also an interesting perspective offered about the local police reaction to St. Andrews outreach program. Overall, this video is an instructive and informative guide for action that can be taken in your own area. Image Credit Be cautious when feeding the animals. These people should have planned ahead. what is it? The..planned ahead?..bet you cant answer this with a concrete non reversal type answer.any more than you can say for 100 percent your own futureand your own death. Is there something wrong with you? Inquiring minds want to know. Feeding the animals? Are you talking about the homeless or their pets? Are you even human, with a beating heart and compassion for your fellow travelers on this little blue world? Obesity is planning ahead, but rather unhealthy in the long-term. I think these folks will do fine. Im guessing their timeline is much more natural than your planned Matrix. j/s. I have much to say of this article.you see, what it actually articulates is the situation of one ness, which each of us lives until we die.Nowtis said, each of us should stand upon our own two feet and provide for that, there after.OK.in a perfect world.Well, then what is to be done, within a not perfect world?.And That Is the question! That is within the world we live in.ON the one handnot a person alive could last for long, strictly upon their own, out in the woods types or not..SONote.People belong to one another. not only that,,,they require each other for longevity.So homelessness brings up what am I, where am I and who cares?.the leadership of community must then ask that question of themselves.and you know what? The answer most often is..you, homeless are irrelevant..and so in the end, the message is die, and be happy for it! Being homeless isnt a crime! 
1	Saying he didn't want to go overboard but thought it would be a pretty good investment considering his line of work, veteran actor George Clooney told reporters Wednesday he's been thinking about just going ahead and buying his own tuxedo. 'At first I thought I wouldn't need one, but I walk into a rental store around 175 times a year, and even the guys there say, 'Why don't you just buy one already?'' Clooney told People magazine, explaining that he spent more than $300,000 last year renting the same black Giorgio Armani. 'That makes sense, because I'd get a lot of mileage out of it, and after a while, it would probably pay for itself. Maybe I'll wait and see if I get invited to the Oscars this year, just in case.' Clooney added that because he travels so frequently, he is also considering buying a car instead of using a bus pass. 
3	ACLU Takes on Second Amendment-Related Free Speech CaseLily Dane That particular day, he was interrupted by Officer Jerry Bledsoe, who said he was responding to a noise complaint. Bledsoe gave Klaffer an ultimatum: Give me your guns, or youll be arrested for disturbing the peace. Klaffer recorded the conversation and posted it on YouTube. Heres the footage: Part 1: Klaffer refused to surrender his guns and was promptly arrested for disturbing the peace. To express his opinion that Bledsoe harassed him for exercising his Second Amendment rights, Klaffer decided to exercise his First Amendment rights to bring attention to the incident. He posted recordings of his confrontation with Bledsoe on YouTube and Facebook, and posted side-by-side photos of Bledsoe and Saddam Hussein on Instagram with the caption Striking Resemblance. Bledsoe didnt like any of that one bit, so he obtained a court order that required Klaffer to remove all videos, photos, and text referencing Bledsoe from the internet and to prevent him from posting such material in the future. In fact, Bledsoe claimed that Klaffer was STALKING and HARASSING him in order to obtain the ex parte protection order. The order stated that Klaffer not abuse, threaten to abuse, stalk, molest, or disturb the peace of Petitioner. On February 25, 2014, the ACLU of Missouri filed a suit against Bledsoe on behalf of Klaffer. The organizations press release explains why they took on this case: Here is an excerpt of that complaint, which can be read in its entirety here: Eugene Volokh is a law professor at UCLA who writes for The Washington Post. In an article about this case, he explains how the courts order violated the First Amendment: The suit was filed a few months ago, and it will be interesting to hear about the outcome. The First and Second Amendment rights of Americans have been subject to increasing infringement, and it is refreshing to see citizens fighting back.

1	Keeping a close eye on the analyst during a taping of Baseball Tonight, sources confirmed Friday that ESPN producers have been carefully monitoring Buster Olneys question count to ensure that the veteran MLB columnist avoids overexerting himself before the season. Its only spring training and we want to bring him along slowly, so were placing a firm limit on the number of questions he can ask after every game, said ESPN producer Gus Ramsey, adding that the networks program for gradually increasing Olneys question cap is designed to keep him fresh for the grueling seven-month season ahead. Weve been working with Buster to get him to adjust his inquiring mechanics so he can be more fluid and natural out there. So far, though, he keeps blowing through his questions and exhausting his count right away, and we end up having to pull him pretty quickly. At press time, increasing concerns about Olneys ability to conduct interviews in back-to-back nightly broadcasts were leading producers to consider shutting him down until after the All-Star break. 
3	Coming Food Crisis Plays into Global Elites Demand for Population StabilizationSusanne Posel, Contributor Added to this problem are the 3 million people who are moving up the food chain eating more than their share in gluttonous nations like the United States and China. While New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is announcingthat the city plans to ban sugary beverages larger than 16 ounces to curb the waistlines of the average New Yorker, the rest of the world is wondering where their next meal may be coming from. In the UK, the average persons weightcontinues to dramatically increase with the use of high fructose corn syrup, increased consumption of processed foods and a lethargic lifestyle. Their societal issues with food and weight are mirrored in America. And if compared to other nations, the problem remains the same. While some die of starvation, others are dying from over consumption. Both the degenerative quality of the food being sold in the developed world, and the lack of food in the under-developed nations are causational to the same end population reduction. To keep up appearances, the mainstream media will dole out ludicrous studiessuch as one published last month that reported men who are stressed find heavier women more attractive. Instead of facing the health problems brought on by an industry that is designed to deplete the human body of nutrition, thereby causing disease and early death, the MSM would have the American public considering their burgeoning waistlines as trendy. Meanwhile, the quest to become anorexic-esque thin is still en vogue and sought after leaving the average American confused about their self-image. It is further pointed out that the US investment in ethanolis a drain on the worlds food stores, which allocates massive amounts of food to the production of this plant-based fuel for cars. The World Bank issued a statement of concern last month for the coming food shortage due to the drought devastating the US and Europe. According to Jim Yong Kim, World Bank group president: Food prices rose again sharply threatening the health and well-being of millions of people. Africa and the Middle East are particularly vulnerable, but so are people in other countries where the prices of grains have gone up abruptly. Because of the drought, Obama offered, through the USDA, to purchase $170 million in pork, chicken, lamb and catfish to stave off some of the financial burden of American farmers. The White House announced the use of this food in food-aid programs. Water resources are directly tied to global food supplies. As more of the planets water is securitized by private corporations and governments, some globalists suggest that the worlds population may have to become vegetarianin order to survive. Malik Falkenmark and colleagues at the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) are responsible for a reportthat explains there will not be enough water available on current croplands to produce food for the expected 9 billion population in 2050 if we follow current trends and changes towards diets common in western nations. The UN and Oxfam are warning nations that the scarcity of water will limit food production dramatically and cause another food crisis. Oxfam is predicting food prices to rise incredibly in developed nations. The globalist answer to the problem: by adopting a global vegetarian diet, the worlds water supplies will be saved and the erratic weather evidenced by the man-made climate change myth will simply disappear. Miraculously, third world nations would have the arable land to feed their populations which would increase trade and food surplus. In April, S. Matthew Laio, bioethics professor at New York University proposed that the masses take a pill that would cause nausea when a person ate meat. This would eventually create a lasting aversion to meat eating. Laio had other ideas, like using genetic engineering or hormone therapy to birth smaller babies that would be less resource-intensive throughout their lifetime. Larger people consume more food and energy over their life. Smaller people consume less. Liao believes that human engineering would liberate a family to choose from two medium-sized children or three small-sized children. Or they could choose one large child. The choice is theirs. This bioethics professor also thinks very highly of Chinas one child policy (that was first instituted by Mao, modeled after Henry Kissingers work) and Britains advocates of a two-child maximum. Competition for water will be the next Great War. The International Water Management Institute (IWMI) claimsthat food security in Southeast Asia and the sub-Saharan Africa will be protected by investing in small pumps because the world depends on their success. The World Bank and the UN Population Fund have issued ultimatums (referred to as guidelines) to under-developed nations to either implement their plans for population reduction, or be withdrawn from the international community. According to the UNs Reproductive Health Action Plan 2010-2015, adherence to the UNs Millennium Development Goal number 5 is an imperative. This goal calls for a 75% reduction in maternal mortality and universal access to reproductive health by 2015. Melinda Gates, at the recent London Family Planning Summit held in July, spoke of preventing40% of unwanted births in under-developed nations like Africa and India to reduce the worlds human population growth significantly. Population stabilization, the true meaning behind family planning, is evident in the World Bank and UN Population Funds push against sovereign nations to reduce their populations by rule of the global consensus which dictates human rights policy by deeming some fit to live and others not. Based on the Rockefeller Commission report, population stabilization is an endeavor worth pursuing, although its success would take decades because of the high incidence of reproduction by marriage. However, with the destruction of the family, this problem could be solved. Furthermore, the stabilization of the global population would reallocate resources to be better spent in terms of quality versus quantity. Concluding that the best way to achieve population stabilization is to coerce the nations citizens that they freely choose abortion and not having a child at all as part of an acceptable societal norm. By way of implementation of social barrier and cultural pressures, the average citizen would rather go with the flow and choose not to procreate for the sake of being part of the herd. Simultaneously, by reforming the acceptable amount of children born into a married household, the impact on population growth would seem to be natural. And trends would take care of social conformity. Those who had more children would be shunned. Increasing access to abortion clinics with the inception and popularity of Planned Parenthood would give unacceptable pregnancies a viable solution. This would distract and control another Baby Boom from occurring. Using images on television, film and print media to control the ideals of the modern family to fit the model of a population stabilized by no longer being plagued with run-a-way births; but focusing on the example of small families as the best way to go. Droughts, lack of access to nutritional food and an agenda of the global Elite to reduce the population are not conspiracy theories. Simply look at the data, the evidence being played out in real time, and their own publications where these concepts are outlined for implementation. They all connect together to form the basis of the 90% human population reduction that is necessary for the global Elite to control the worlds population as feudal serfs and slaves to Global Governance.

3	What are the Top 10 Prescription Drugs? Protest on Prescription Drug Take-back and Disposal DayCatherine J. Frompovich, Contributor Every year U.S. citizens are prescribed billions of prescription drugs, some of which are never taken for various reasons or expire and need to be disposed of properly. Flushing prescription or OTC drugs down toilets is not a safe disposal method, as those drugs then contaminate drinking water downstream. The number of prescriptions dispensed in the US in 2009 increased 2.1% (from 3.8 billion to 3.9 billion), a larger growth rate than the 1.0% increase in 2008 over 2007. From 1999 to 2009, the number of prescriptions increased 39% (from 2.8 billion to 3.9 billion), compared to a US population growth of 9%. The average number of retail prescriptions per capita increased from 10.1 in 1999 to 12.6 in 2009.7 http://www.kff.org/rxdrugs/upload/3057-08.pdf 1. Lipid regulators to prevent high blood cholesterol and heart disease. They are called statins. More than 255.4 million prescriptions were filled for statins and other lipid lowering drugs. 2. Antidepressants 253.6 million prescriptions were written for various antidepressant drugs. 3. Narcotic analgesics are those drugs prescribed to relieve severe pain. 244,300 prescriptions were written for these painkillers. 4. Beta-blockers more than 191.5 million prescriptions were written for beta-blocker drugs. 5. Ace [Angiotensin-converting enzyme] inhibitors are prescribed to treat high blood pressure, migraines, and other conditions. More than 168.7 million prescriptions were filled for ace inhibitors. 6. Antidiabetes prescriptions totaled about 165 million. 7. Respiratory agents totaled 153.3 million prescriptions. 8. Anti-ulcerants totaled 147.1 million prescriptions. 9. Diuretics totaled 131 million prescriptions. 10. Anti-epileptic drugs totaled 121.7 million prescriptions. Those were the top ten prescription drugs for the year 2010 in the USA as listed by About.comPharma However, the U.S. Census Bureau stated that the 2010 Census indicated our resident population of the United States on April 1, 2010 was 308,745,538. We can see from only the top ten prescription drugs in 2010, just how dependent healthcare consumers have become on chemicals. There are millions of other prescription drugs I did not include. Realistically, we have a legal drug culture in the USA from which Big Pharma makes jillions of dollars each year and inadvertently is pushed by medical doctors, as some prescription drugs are misused. The one thing that could make the prescription drug take-backs sweeter and nicer is if there were cash refunds involved, similar to what folks get when they turn in guns. So, please dont forget Prescription Drug Take-back Disposal Day is Saturday, September 29, 2012, 10 AM to 2 PM somewhere near you. Thanks for helping get drugs out of the hands of those who dont need them and disposing of them safely.

1	The funeral for Bank of America CEO David Kessler, intended as a solemn remembrance of the 73-year-old's life, quickly developed into a networking dream for executives who attended the service at Beth Israel Synagogue Tuesday. 'This [funeral] couldn't have come at a more perfect time for me,' said public relations executive Sarah Freeman. 'All the biggies were thereIntel, McDonald's, Citigroup, Nike. I've collected about 25 business cards in the last hour alone, handed out dozens more.' Freeman added that although she wasn't initially planning on attending the burial, she cleared her afternoon schedule when she found out Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman would be in attendance. 
1	Just days after the discovery of several previously unreleased Beatles recordings in the attic of Abbey Road Studios, fans and critics across the globe have renounced their enthusiasm for the rock and roll band that was once revered by millions. 'This unfortunate find has forced music historians to completely reassess the talents of John, Paul, George, and Ringo,' said Beatles scholar Mark Lewisohn, who has dated the tapes to early 1968. 'These songs are awful. That one sax solo alone has utterly negated the genius of Magical Mystery Tour and Rubber Soul combined. Certainly this missing link goes a long way toward explaining their solo careers.' In reaction to the discovery, Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys has shown dramatic signs of improved mental health. 
3	Dear Facebook: Raw Milk Farmer Needs Jury Nullification AgainHe is under attack again It isnt over! Please share the updated info on Facebook All over Facebook, people are sharing a victory story about Alvin Schlangen having been acquitted through jury nullification. Its true, but it happened lastSeptember, and lightening often strikes twice upon raw milk supporters. In this case, it is a form of Double Jeopardy. Solets get another victory! We definitely need the help of jury nullification again. We must always keep watch over any targeted small farmer enemies of food freedom wait for people to relax after a battle is won, and then strike again when they think no ones watching. This classic MO happens all the time. For instance, in most of the front-yard garden debacles we cheer when theres a win, but the bureaucrats always come back in full force when the cameras are off, behind closed doors, when the protesters have gone home. As tiresome as it is, we must never let up because they dont. Alvin Schlangen was acquitted in Hennepin County, Minnesota of the following three charges: selling raw milk, operating without a food license, and handling adulterated food. Here is a quick recap to update: While the victory was short lived, there is plenty that we can do to help. What saved him in the courts last time was jury nullification when he was tried for crimes that harmed no one. Informed jurors can look at the evidence, but say so what? and let him go free. This is how bad laws are evaporated in the face of constant persecution because this WILL keep happening. Here are the ways we can help Alvin Schlangen: Alvins battles have been raging for more than two years now with threats of fines and imprisonment and he has been the target of multiple raids, inspections and trials. His many supporters have flocked to help him at rallies which Alvin attends and speaks, even signing a food declaration of independence. Although the Minnesota Department of Agriculture is aggressive towards its small farms and farm clubs, Minnesota has a trove of liberty to combat that with informed jurors. Any suggestions for help or info on rallies are welcome. It would be great to get the jury info to Stearns County residents. If you see the story Im talking about on your Facebook feed could you please kindly share this or any other update on that page?

3	She Used to Be In A Wheelchair - The TED Talk That Comes With a WarningHeather Callaghan Against all odds, and without much success in the conventional medical system, some people are discovering a way back to life, foregoing the belief in the typical death-sentence prognosis. They make connections about auto-immune conditions, the brain and the nervous system. They make connections, using an array of research studies and their own bodies, experimenting with specific nutrients and lifestyle changes. Below you will find a couple talks that show how people are reversing MS specifically, Dr. Terry Wahls, a medical researcher and former Taekwondo champion who wound up in a wheelchair a few years after her MS diagnosis. She calls herself a canary in the coal mine for everyone else and reminds us of the dire importance of minding our mitochondria with nutrient dense food. Recently, TED changed its talk protocols basically eschewing anything that, to them, hinted at pseudo-science or unproven theories. But what follows is a TEDx Independent talk so there is some leeway there with warnings. On YouTube, you can find some footage from young people with MS who have experienced a 180 shift on the protocol she suggests. The following warning pops up over the video throughout the talk: But the more ominous warning appears in the description of the video: Its interesting to note that diseases like ALS, MS, Fibromyalgia and problems like ADHD symptomology are often a misdiagnosis of underlying chronic Lyme infection. And that people who have found alleviation from each of those problems follow a protocol like Wahls an approach identical to auto-immune paleo. This is among the top reasons to support freedom to access these nutrient-dense foods, the proliferation of them and changes in the current food system. If you want to see a more unhindered talk of Dr. Terry Wahls, with more information about her lifestyle, see this one below: Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist.

1	Expressing his intense aggravation Wednesday at having limited footage to air throughout the networks programming, visibly frustrated ESPN senior producer Mark Hutcheson reportedly demanded a new camera angle of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice assaulting his then-fiance in a casino elevator this past February. Just get a different shot of the whole thing from beginning to end, and this time I want a better view of the punch that knocked her unconscious without any dropped frames, said a furious Hutcheson, stressing that any new clip of the domestic violence better have some goddamn audio, too. Cmon, there had to be another security camera in that lobby or some cell phone footage of what happened, so just find it already. And hurry the fuck up, because we dont have much time until the next SportsCenter. Hutcheson added that until ESPN staffers get their shit together, the network would have no choice but to continue replaying the same two video clips of the incident every 10 to 15 minutes. 
2	Huckabee Cant Hold It In Any Longer, Destroys Obama For His Sick UN Move Mike Huckabee did not hold back in a recent interview on the Obama administrations controversial decision to abstain from vetoing the United Nations anti-Israel resolution. This is about right and wrong, Huckabee commented. This is about evil and good. This is such a clear-cut issue. And I am just beyond, in a seething rage, over what this administration has done in its last days. The U.S. had an abstained vote. That is silence, and that is agreeing with the idiotic, dangerous and disturbing position that the UN took based on a resolution from four nations, Huckabee added. I mean, have some just common decency. If youre gonna do this, do it upfront, but to do it in such a cowardly way just as youre leaving office basically to say to the world heres one more for you, good luck with it. Huckabee had some brutal words for President Obamas approach to foreign policy and our ally, in general, as well. First of all the policy weve had is boneheaded, he argued. Its a ridiculous policy that we dont apply to any other nation on earth to tell them that if someone attacks you, and you attack back, and defend our country and you end up getting more landbut you are supposed to give that up and let your enemies get even closer to you, you know thats absurd. Finally, Huckabee concluded with this: The two-state solution is no solution, its never gonna work and I know its been our policyand the fact is the Palestinians have no intention of ever coming to a peace accord. What do you think? Do you agree with Huckabee? 
2	Liberals Are FURIOUS After Top Beer In The Country Changes Their Name To THIS According to reports, Budweiser has just made the controversial announcement that they will be changing the name of their beer this summer. According to reports, Budweiser intends to change the name of their beer to America. That means the next time you sip a cold one, youll actually be drinking America. The rebrand is intended to acknowledge the 2016 presidential election, and the cans will be temporary. We thought nothing was more iconic than Budweiser and nothing was more iconic than America, Tosh Hall, the creative director behind the name change, told reporters. Of course, liberals are furious about the change. But we applaud the company for showing their pride in America and encouraging their consumers to vote. What do you think of the change?

Stennis stands before the object of his anger. 'I don't know what his problem is,' daughter Lily Bergeron said. 'Every time he goes in for his medicine, there's some kind of incident. Going to Walgreens used to be the highlight of his week, because the pharmacists all love him, but lately that's all changed. Last week, he knocked over a candy display. The store manager said he saw Dad kicking the candy bars down the aisle, even though he flatly denies it. I just know he's doing it on purpose.' Stennis has refused to explain his behavior, denying that there is any feud between himself and Walgreens. 'When I ask him what's going on between him and the pharmacy, he acts like I'm being crazy,' Bergeron said. 'That doesn't stop him from taking the manager's reserved parking spot every time he drives over there. He never did that until two months ago, so you can tell something is fishy.' Stennis' friends seem equally mystified by his strange vendetta. 'I don't know what's going on,' said longtime friend Ed Bollinger, 81. 'All I know is that when it's rainy, he makes a point to not wipe his feet on the mats and tracks mud all over their nice floors. If Gerry hadn't been a loyal customer for the past 15 years, I don't think they'd put up with his shenanigans.' Theories regarding the source of Stennis' feud with the pharmacy vary. 'Dad got the wrong medication a few months ago,' Bergeron said. 'But the pharmacist himself called to tell us they'd made a mistake before Dad even got home. They even sent someone to our house to make the switch. Dad was pretty steamed over that, but that's no reason for him to keep peeling the price tags off the vitamin bottles. It has to be something else.' Bollinger said Stennis may be protesting certain store decisions. 'Gerry's been complaining more and more about the Walgreens,' Bollinger said. 'He's been upset ever since they stopped stocking Tetley iced tea [in 1998]. But I think the final straw was when Rosalita, his favorite cashier, got fired. That was six months ago, but I think he considered it a real slap in the face.' Because Stennis has been known to harbor a temper, some family members suspect that the grudge arose from an argument with an employee. 'Lily asked me to stop in to find out if Dad had picked a fight with the manager or something,' son Ryan Stennis said. 'Everyone at the store seemed genuinely surprised that there were any ill feelings. Apparently, this battle Dad is fighting is completely one-sided, and he won't say what the hell is going on.' To date, Stennis' war against the pharmacy has largely consisted of petty acts of sabotage, but his daughter fears that escalation may be imminent. 'Dad's a stubborn guy,' Bergeron said. 'Right now, he's just doing stuff like knocking over displays and asking stock boys to see if they have any cherry-flavored Metamucil in the back and then walking out before they return. I'm just worried that one day he'll do something crazy, like pull the fire alarm.' Though Walgreens expressed an eagerness to make peace, no resolution appears to be forthcoming. 'If something is bothering Mr. Stennis, I'd be more than happy to discuss it with him,' Walgreens manager Marianne Krieg said. 'He's a valued customer. However, we are unsure how to make the first step toward peace, since no one has any clue what we did to upset him.' Added Krieg: 'And I sure as heck would like him to stop opening the tennis-ball cans, so we don't have to call the police or ban him from the store.' 
1	Less than two weeks after introducing to the nation her developmentally disabled newborn and her 19-year-old son preparing for military service in Iraq, Republican vice presidential nominee and conservative Christian woman Sarah Palin delivered a speech Monday flanked by three heretofore-unknown relatives, including a naturalized Mexican half brother, a formerly lesbian niece, and a New York City firefighter cousin who saved several lives during the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks. 'John McCain and I will take on the Washington establishment and give the government back to the people,' said Palin, who several times gave the 'thumbs-up' sign to her African-American coal-miner uncle seated in the audience. 'We envision a better and brighter future for hardworking, selfless Americans like Ted, Anne, and Guillermo here.' Palin has a campaign stop scheduled next week in Texas, where she is expected to introduce her stepsister Linda, a $35 barrel of offshore-drilled crude oil wrapped in an American flag. 
1	While standing in front of his open closet, Ken Ciszek announced Tuesday that he is instituting a T-shirt purchasing freeze until further notice. Cisnek and some of his favorite T-shirts. 'Although I love and have always loved T-shirts, the time has come to halt their acquisition,' Ciszek said. 'This includes T-shirts that feature bands and movies I like, locations I have visited, sports teams I support, causes I endorse, and phrases I find funny.' Ciszek said he has been buying T-shirts since high school. 'When I was a kid, I'd pick one up at every concert,' Ciszek said. 'Then, in college, I started buying them from thrift stores or getting them at political rallies.' The 29-year-old restaurant manager instituted his T-shirt-buying freeze when he realized he had so many T-shirts that he had lost track of his holdings. 'I found a great Cheap Trick Dream Police tour shirt at a garage sale,' Ciszek said. 'I couldn't believe my luck, but then I got home and realized I had one exactly like it buried under my other band T-shirts. Until I can figure out what to do with these things, I'm cutting myself off. It'll be hard, but I gotta do it.' Ciszek keeps the T-shirts that he wears most frequently hung in his closet. His second-tier T-shirts are kept folded on top of his dresser, which is filled with third- and fourth-tier T-shirts. Ciszek also has a box of T-shirts under his bed. 'There are ones I haven't worn in, like, four years,' Ciszek said. 'Some of them are riddled with holes. Some are so old that they're practically translucent. I have a 'Don't Mess With Texas' T-shirt that's so faded, the logo isn't even there anymore. It's just an outline of the state.' Added Ciszek: 'But I love it, and I just can't bring myself to throw it out, until it falls completely apart or is ripped from my back.' Ciszek first recognized his problem in August, when his washing machine broke and he was able to go six weeks without needing to wash a T-shirt. Though he could easily donate his less-favored shirts to charity or throw them away, Ciszek said he is at a loss. 'Which ones can I get rid of?' said Ciszek, standing over a pile of shirts on his bed. 'I mean, they all have sentimental value. This Old Milwaukee shirt I got to cheer myself up after I broke my leg in 2000. Here's one from a Fun Run I got roped into doing once. This one has a fish on itI got it at a gas station. This one says 'We're All Earnest.' I have no idea what that even means, but the old telephone on it looks really cool.' Ciszek received some of the T-shirts in his wardrobe as gifts. 'This one is from the camp that my friend Jake worked at over the summer,' Ciszek said. 'My sister bought me this one at Disney WorldI don't even like it, really, but I keep it because it was nice that she thought of me. Oh, wow. There's still a price tag on it.' At last count, Ciszek said he owned 132 T-shirts. The glut has gotten so out of control that he has been forced to turn down free T-shirts. 'I was at a sneak preview for Kill Bill, and they were tossing free stuff into the audience,' Ciszek said. 'Just my luck, instead of a hat or a poster or something, a T-shirt landed right on my head. I gave it to the guy sitting next to me. That's something I never would have done a year ago.' Ciszek's girlfriend, Faye Bullington, called the T-shirt purchase freeze 'a step in the right direction.' 'If only I could just get him to start wearing shirts with buttons,' Bullington said. 'He's almost 30, but he still dresses like a 16-year-old. Is it really necessary for him to alert everyone on the street that he's been to San Diego?' 
1	As devastating as their 29-17 Super Bowl XLI loss to the Colts was for the proud Chicago Bears, it was worse for their coach: Lovie Smith will forever be remembered as the first African-American coach to lose a Super Bowl. 'I give full credit to the Colts,' Smith said, exhibiting admirable class and dignity by speaking to reporters moments after the game ended, despite the heartbreak he certainly felt at failing on football's biggest stage during the first Sunday of Black History Month. 'We were outplayed and outperformed today, but I'm proud of my team. I just hope they are still proud of me.' Smith became the first black coach to lead his team to the Super Bowl less than three weeks ago when his Bears defeated the New Orleans Saints mere hours before the Colts advanced past the Patriots. His story was covered to exhaustion by the media, who made endless comparisons of Smith and Doug Williams, the first black quarterback to play in a Super Bowl. However, some say the comparisons break down when considering that in his Super Bowl, Williams, unlike Smith, won. 'Let's not forget that this is still a great moment for any coach,' said Dan Marino, who covered the game for CBS. 'No, Lovie Smith didn't call a perfect game. No, it wasn't his day. Should he have done some things differently? Of course. But at the end of the day, I hope we can see this as something more than a huge disappointment for the black community.' 'I just hope this doesn't become a focus for negativity,' said CBS' Shannon Sharpe. 'Responsible people, truly knowledgeable people, will be looking at all the positive achievements black coaches made this yearSmith's among them. I know that certain people will say that it just isn't time yet for a black coach to win the Super Bowl. And even though Smith lost, I think those people are just wrong.' With Smith's dubious place in history now assured, prominent figures around the league worry that his ignominious loss will only add to the stereotypes surrounding black coaches. 'Will this feed the stereotypes about African-Americans? Probably,' said Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress, who says he has 'enormous respect' for Smith's coaching ability and work ethic. 'There will be those who look at the Super Bowl and say the same old crap they've been saying forever'See? Black coaches can't coach in the rain. Black-coached teams turn the ball over too much. Black coaches' quarterbacks are overrated panicky idiots who throw the ball downfield without even looking and get picked off.' Bunch of crap, of course. But after Sunday's game, it's going to be that much harder for him to shake that off.' 'I'm sorry, but Lovie Smith let us all down,' said Tony Dungy, the first African-American head coach to win a Super Bowl. 'I'm sorry, I love the guyyou know Lovie used to work for mebut he was totally outcoached out there. He looked lostthe other team had him spinning his wheels, looking helpless, unable to cover his weaknesses. It infuriates me that America had to see a black man so totally outmaneuvered in the biggest game of the season.' 'Face it, Lovie got beat bad,' Dungy added. 'America really needed an African-American coach to win that game. And thanks to Lovie Smith, we got to see an African-American lose.' 
1	Touting the programs convenience and affordability, Chicago officials unveiled Monday the citys new gun-sharing service, QuikShot, which allows individuals to check out a loaded firearm for short periods of time. The municipal initiative, through which users can rent semiautomatic pistols, shotguns, rifles, and submachine guns at more than 250 self-service kiosks, has reportedly been designed to make firepower easily available to residents and tourists alike nearly everywhere within the city limits. QuikShot lets anyone with a credit card walk up to one of our street-side firearm stations, select a gun, and head out into the Windy City fully armed in just a few seconds, program director Arvind Reynolds told reporters, noting that borrowers can either rent their weapon for increments of 30 minutes or withdraw it for a full 24 hours if they plan on using it throughout the day. With QuikShot, you and your friends can each take a Beretta up to Wrigley Field, or you can head to an outdoor concert in Millennium Park with a concealed 9mm revolver, or you can simply take in the great view of the Magnificent Mile from the roof deck of the Hancock tower through a scoped sniper rifle. The possibilities are truly endless with QuikShot. And if the guns at one station are all checked out, users only have to walk a block or two to the next one in order to find a loaded firearm, he added. So whether youve been planning an outing for a while or simply decided to head out in the spur of the moment, QuikShot has you covered. According to sources, after paying a small registration fee, QuikShot users may rent a firearm as often as they wish in neighborhoods ranging from Edgewater in the north, to the downtown Loop business district, to Hyde Park on the South Side, allowing them to brandish and discharge one or more rounds wherever they choose to in the city. Additionally, due to higher demand, Chicago officials said that multiple QuikShot kiosks would be opened around highly trafficked destinations, such as Navy Pier, the Art Institute, the Water Tower Place shopping center, and the Chicago Lakefront running and cycling paths. Because the firearms are expected to see heavy use, Reynolds confirmed that repair crews would regularly monitor the citys reholstering docks in order to clean and reload the weapons, as well as to replace guns that have jammed or misfired during operation, ensuring that borrowers arent inconvenienced by their gun malfunctioning at a crucial moment. Its a great addition to the citynothing beats being able to run out of my apartment and have a gun in my hands whenever I want. Users, however, are reportedly expected to provide their own protective Kevlar body armor, with program administrators adding that the city of Chicago is not liable for any injuries incurred due to use of its rentals. Its a great addition to the citynothing beats being able to run out of my apartment and have a gun in my hands whenever I want, said Lincoln Park resident Keith Madsen, 32, noting that a QuikShot membership is much more economical than purchasing and maintaining his own extended magazine AR-15 assault rifle. Even if Im not necessarily planning on firing a gun on any given day, its always nice to know that I have the option if something comes up. Sources confirmed that the city is planning to expand the service in the months ahead by purchasing more guns, with the goal of increasing its publicly available arsenal to more than 65,000 weapons in anticipation of the hot summer months, when QuikShot usage is expected to reach its peak. QuikShot is so easy that Im actually shooting a handgun way more often than I normally would, said local resident Danny Taylor, who participated in a pilot trial of the program, as he deposited an empty .357 Magnum with the QuikShot logo imprinted on its grip at a Rogers Park reholstering station. Whether Im going to a house party or just to the liquor store, its nice to know that I can grab a piece, use it for as long as I want, and then drop it off without a lot of fuss. In fact, Im thinking about checking out one tomorrow morning before I head into the office, he continued. 
2	Obama Is FURIOUS After Texas Takes This MASSIVE Stand Against Him According to recent reports, new legislation is requiring public universities in Texas to allow handguns in dorms, classrooms, and campus buildings. The measure received final approval from the Texas legislature over the weekend. This comes at a time when Obama is trying to strip Americans of their second amendment rights. Today is a day when Republicans and Democrats are united saying that we will live up to the promise of the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution, Gov. Greg Abbott commented. Including the Second Amendment. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The governor fired off a few rounds after signing one of the bills. There is nothing more important in democracy than the voice of the people stepping up and saying, We expect the Constitution of the United States of America to be our guiding doctrine, Abbott concluded. 
2	Hillary Clintons Niece Goes Rogue, Spills Her Guts About The Truth Of Her Evil Aunt [VIDEO] Hillary Clintons niece sparked major controversy when she announced that she will be voting for Donald Trump. I support Donald Trump 100 percent, Macy Smit, the daughter of Bill Clintons half-brother Roger Clinton, told reporters at RadarOnline. I have been a Democrat my entire life, but Trump is what we need right nowsomebody who is going to stand up for us, Smit commented. I think at this point Hillary just wants it for the history booksto be the first woman president for selfish reasons. Smit then went on to confess shes never met Clinton, which she attributes to Clintons holier-than-thou attitude. Something tells me the Clinton side looks at me and my mother as not good enough, but were hard-working, Smit told reporters. Smit first came into the limelight six years ago, when she gave her heart-wrenching story to Inside Edition. In the interview, she disclosed that she had been living off food stamps. Her life has turned around since that, she is now married to a U.S. Air Force meteorologist. Now, shes taking an opportunity to warn America that her aunts devotion to the American public is a scam. What do you think? Does Clinton need to be kept far away from the White House? 
2	White House In Panic After Obama Was Caught Doing THIS [VIDEO] From the very beginning of his campaign, GOP frontrunner Donald Trump has faced accusations that he will be unable to win over female and minority voters. But the legendary businessman has already begun proving that this is not the case. In an effort to push back on this narrative, Trump posted a short video to social media that shows that he has already raked in votes from both groups. The video was posted by Dan Scavino, the director of social media for the Trump campaign. He added the footage with the caption, Lets go AMERICA! The #TrumpTrain is always open for new passengers! #Trump2016 #NYPrimary #MAGA. The video is set to the 1990s hit CMon N Ride It by the Quad City DJs. Watch the clip below and tell us what you think.

1	Although he has had a cordial relationship with officemate Karl Harrison for almost two years, Jeff Ashland reported Monday that he has no idea why he was asked to be the best man at Harrison's wedding in June. Ashland, the best-man-to-be. 'It's an honor, I suppose,' Ashland said from his cubicle at Whitehead Consulting. 'I just wish I knew why it fell to me. Karl went to college just down the road, and he's lived in Greensboro for five years or so. He must have met at least a few other guys during all that time, right? But I'm the one he chooses to be his right-hand man on the biggest day of his life?' Harrison asked Ashland to be his best man on March 12, the same day he publicly announced his engagement to his girlfriend of four years, Tracy Newman. Ashland said he had trouble feigning the joy expected of someone assuming such an honor. 'Karl came up to me with this big grin on his face, so I figured his business card was picked out of the fishbowl at the Gumbo Pot again,' Ashland said. 'But he told me he'd proposed to his girlfriend the night before. As I was congratulating him, trying desperately to remember Tracy's name, he dropped the bomb. He said it'd be 'awesome' if I'd be his best man. At first I thought he was making one of his non-funny jokes, but he was serious.' Ashland said he felt he had no choice but to accept the invitation. 'What could I say?' Ashland asked. 'Sorry, you're just some guy I work withgo look up someone you knew at summer camp'? Seriously, doesn't he know, say, anyone else in the entire world? Doesn't he have a cousin somewhere?' Adding to Ashland's misgivings about standing before a crowd in support of Harrison's nuptials is the ever-increasing list of duties the groom has asked the best man to perform. 'Apparently, I'm sort of a ringmaster for the whole thing,' Ashland said, flipping through the Greensboro tuxedo-rental listings. 'I knew I had to be the bridesmaid's date, but now Karl says I'm also in charge of the ushers and shuttling the damn presents around. I really don't need this hassle on top of the wedding-dinner speech.' 'My only hope is that the kind of guy who asks a coworker he barely knows to be his best man won't have very high standards,' Ashland added. Ashland said he has been forced to research the speech. 'I've been plying Karl with questions about his courtship, his childhood, and his parents' reaction to the engagement, just to get anything that will give me an inkling of what to say,' Ashland said. 'And Tracywho, as best frickin' man, I've finally had the pleasure of meetingis no help. How can I ask her personal questions about Karl without tipping her off to the fact that I have no idea who he is?' In spite of Ashland's concern, the bride-to-be has expressed no misgivings about her future husband's best man. 'Karl's always talking about how nice it is to have someone as cool as Jeff at the office,' Newman said. 'God only knows what they're up to all day, but boys will be boys. It's great that Karl and Jeff got so close in so short a time, especially since Karl doesn't make friends easily.' Harrison had little to say on the subject of his selection criteria for best man. 'It's so nice that Jeff's doing this,' Harrison told acquaintances at an after-work get-together which Ashland, citing a need to shop for black shoes, did not attend. 'We're gonna have such a blast at my wedding. And I can't wait to see what he's got planned for the bachelor party. I have no idea what's going to go down, but if I know Jeff like I think I know Jeff, it'll be booze and strippers all the way.' 
3	Brutal Gestapo Tactics Are Being Used Against Homeowners All Over AmericaMichael Snyder, Contributor The control freaks that run things tell us what we can build on our own property, what we can grow on our own property, what types of gatherings we can have on our own property, how many visitors we can have on our own property and they have imposed very strict rules about how our property must be maintained. If we get out of line, they will use zoning ordinances and code violations to make our lives a living hell. All over America today, brutal Gestapo tactics are being used against homeowners that just want to be left alone. Anyone that has ever dealt with a compliance officer or a nuisance abatement team knows what I am talking about. But if we have so very little freedom on our own properties, then how in the world can we continue to call this country the land of the free? Thug Wakes Woman Up And Yells At Her In Bed For Letting Her Grass Grow Too Long Down in Georgia recently, a huge male compliance officer let himself into a womans home, marched into her bedroom and started yelling at her for letting her grass grow too long while she was still in bed. A woman got the shock of her life when she woke up to find a stranger in her bedroom, yelling at her to wake up because her grass was too long. Erica Masters was asleep when Columbia County Code Compliance Officer Jimmy Vowell entered her Martinez, Georgia, home without permission to serve a violation notice for her overgrown lawn. After knocking on the womans door a few times, Vowell let himself and made his way into her bedroom, which was captured on surveillance video. Elderly Americans Being Evicted For Not Paying Property Taxes All over America, homeowners are being evicted from their family homes because of unpaid property taxes. In some cases, the amount that is owed is only a few hundred dollars. Big banks such as Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase have been buying up tax liens all over the country because they are extremely profitable. Tax liens can yield an incredible rate of return, as high as up to 50%. Many state laws permit tax lien purchasers to charge homeowners extremely high interest rates and fees to redeem their property in order avoid foreclosure. (For example, redemption penalties in Georgia, Iowa, Mississippi, New Jersey, and Texas all exceed 20%.) For these reasons, tax lien sales are often marketed as get-rich quick schemes on websites. Investors take advantage of the fact that the tax sale process is arcane and rarely understood by homeowners. And states do little to inform homeowners about steps they can take to avoid foreclosure. Very few states have enacted procedures to protect owners equity interests or to avoid windfalls to purchasers, and almost no states have updated tax lien laws to reflect current economic conditions or to ensure that proper safeguards exist to avoid unnecessary loss of homeownership. In many cases, elderly Americans that dont even understand what is happening are being forced from their homes just so that the investors can make some quick money. Just check out what one recent report said happened to an 81 year old woman living in Rhode Island. The report cited a case of an 81-year-old Rhode Island woman who fell behind on a $474 sewer bill. A corporation bought the home in a tax sale for $836.39. The woman was evicted from the home she had lived in for more than 40 years and the corporation resold the place for $85,000, the report said. Most investors, however, buy tax liens for the interest. Thats because many states allow investors to charge rates of 18% or more on the outstanding debts. And, in some cases, as much as 20% to 50%, the report said. Here is another example of an elderly woman being evicted from her home over unpaid taxes. One elderly Montana woman, who lived alone and had no close family to help her, fell more than $5,000 behind on taxes, the report said. After she failed to respond to letters from the company that bought her home in a tax sale, she was evicted from her Missoula home. As a result, she lost about $150,000 in equity in the property, according to the report. Could you do that to an elderly woman? Shame on those that are pulling these scams, and shame on the states for not changing their laws to prevent this from happening. 40 Years Of Home Improvements Gone All over the country, control freak bureaucrats are using code violations to force homeowners to tear down beautiful home improvements. This is especially true for homeowners that have gone off the grid. For example, a 67 year old man in California has spent 40 years transforming his property into an amazing off the grid self-sustaining habitat. Four decades ago, Hoffman started some home improvements on his house in the wooded hills of the Marin County town of Lagunitas. He harbored ideas and theories of how people could live more sustainably. He started building. He dug a massive valley near the slope of his home and installed a pond. In the middle of it he built a concrete boat to house a 15-foot well. The groundwater would refill the pond, through a sun-powered pump. As the owner of a tea distribution business, Hoffman also built a tea-house with ornate metal carvings of dragons and a sloped tile roof. He carved elaborate caves to dry his rare tea leaves. He constructed a tower bearing a solar shower that hovers over a moat carrying recycled water from the house. Most people come here, they see the visual, they see the structures, said Hoffman. For me whats important is the systems behind it. But now authorities are making him tear everything down because of code violations. Hoffman has been charged fines that total over $200,000, and he is being forced to tear down all 30 of his illegal structures by the beginning of August. Survival Garden Ripped Out By Government Thugs I have used the following story before, but it is another perfect example of the kind of Gestapo tactics that are being used against homeowners all over the United States. Just recently, one unemployed woman down in Tulsa, Oklahoma had her survival garden brutally ripped out and carted away by government thugs A Tulsa woman is suing the citys code enforcement officers after she said they cut down her garden with no cause. Denise Morrison said she has more than 100 plant varieties in her front and back yards and all of them are edible and have a purpose. She knows which ones will treat arthritis, which will make your food spicy, which ones keep mosquitoes away and treat bug bites, but she said none of that matter to city inspectors. Last August, Morrisons front and back yards were filled with flowers in bloom, lemon, stevia, garlic chives, grapes, strawberries, apple mint, spearmint, peppermint, an apple tree, walnut tree, pecan trees and much more. And for this woman, it really was a survival garden. She relied on those plants and trees for her food and for her medicine. But the government thugs left her with nothing. Now she will have to do the best that she can to survive on government handouts. Other Examples Sadly, there are so many other examples that could be discussed of brutal Gestapo tactics being used against homeowners all over America. The other day, I wrote about how one man down in Arizona has been sentenced to 60 days in prison and has been fined $12,180 for hosting a Bible study in his own home. Most of the time the gatherings were only of about 15 or 20 people. They were not unruly and did not make an unreasonable amount of noise. If we cant invite a few friends over to our own homes, then how much freedom do we really have left? In the state of California, armed nuisance abatement teams roam around looking for someone to hit with a code violation. Preppers and those that prefer an off the grid lifestyle appear to be some of their favorite targets. You can view a video about these nuisance abatement teams in California right here. But please be warned that the video is likely to make you quite angry. Is This Still America? We dont get to do what we want with our own properties, but the government feels that it can do just about anything it wants to us in the name of national security. In a previous article I detailed 14 cutting edge technologies that the government will be using to watch, monitor and control us. The following are a few more ways that the Big Brother control grid is expanding. -A new laser scanner that the Department of Homeland Security will soon be using at U.S. airports can search you from 160 feet away. Within the next year or two, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will instantly know everything about your body, clothes, and luggage with a new laser-based molecular scanner fired from 164 feet (50 meters) away. From traces of drugs or gun powder on your clothes to what you had for breakfast to the adrenaline level in your bodyagents will be able to get any information they want without even touching you. Barack Obama has just signed a new executive order which many believe essentially gives him an on/off switch to the Internet. One TSA insider is actually claiming that the TSA is hiring criminals that have just been released from prison to do security checks on travelers at U.S. airports. Perhaps this explains why one TSA agent recently sifted her finger through the ashes of someones dead grandfather and then laughed about it after she spilled some of the ashes on the floor of the airport. Another TSA agent recently referred to a deaf man as deafie and stole his candy. But how many of these stories do you hear about on the evening news? Perhaps this is why a recent Gallup poll found that faith in television news is at an all-time low in the United States. Instead of reporting on the destruction of our liberties and freedoms, the mainstream news is obsessed with Justin Bieber, Tom Cruise and the Kardashians. It is truly disgusting. The ability to own a piece of land and establish a home on it is absolutely foundational to the functioning of a free society. Even the most ancient societies understood this. Sadly, our most basic freedoms are being steadily eroded with each passing day. Once our freedoms are gone, they will be incredibly difficult to get back.

1	A rare photograph of the couple, who have chosen to go their separate ways. LOS ANGELESHollywood couple Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are quietly separating, Pitt's publicist Cindy Guagenti said Friday. 'After seven years together, Brad and Jennifer have decided to separate, without a lot of fuss,' said Guagenti in a fax quietly forwarded to major media outlets. 'They understand that there might be some level of media curiosity, but would appreciate a measure of restraint, as both are modest and reclusive people who treasure their privacy.' Out of respect for Pitt and Aniston's feelings, entertainment journalists have agreed not to cover the story, but Star magazine has published rumors that Pitt might have begun an acquaintanceship with the daughter of a well-known Hollywood actor. 
3	Fiction or Not: Writing ContestI began to recall certain times in my life when these feeling had occurred, on a much weaker level, and simply writing them off as gas or vertigo. This time, however, I felt inclined to welcome them with all of my heart. It felt as if a huge doorway had just opened up, revealing unto me the limitless potential, and the endless possibilities at my disposal. I distinctly remember the crystal clear thought that suddenly entered my mind; return to the source. In this particular case, the source could be none other than David Icke. So I logged on to my computer and keyed in David Icke. Lo and behold, I was directed to his website, and what a site at that. It was truly a site, as well as a sight for sore eyes. I can still remember, not long ago, a time when I found it difficult to write freely, without feeling judged. Now, I simply close my mind to our fabricated world, and open it to that which is truly authentic. My words teach ONE that there is only ONE truth that ONE need be concerned with, and that is ONEs SELF. Yes, society will say that it knows us better than we know our SELF, because it allows for us to think less of our SELVES. Society has even gone so far as to use the name of God and Jesus in enforcing this way of thinking. Through fabricated religion, we are taught to cede our responsibility to our SELVES into the hands of God and Jesus, and live by their rule. This simply allows for ONE to think less of oneself, in believing that without the guidance of another they are inadequate. In reality, we are of the creation, thus we are of God. In order to reconnect with the eternal divine God source, ONE must first come to recognize ONEs true SELF, for the SELF is the ONE and only thing that ONE may unquestionably and undoubtedly aver to. I truly believe that we have all chosen to return to this world, here and now, for this very reason; unity. We all hold a great responsibility to the growth and evolution of our world, and I believe that the time to be responsible has come. This is what I truly believe to be the most important aspect of the shift that we are presently experiencing. Now, as to what exactly this shift shall bring, I am not ashamed to admit that I have absolutely no idea whatsoever, and I am content in being so. I have heard that the elite have been preparing for the Mayan end date for many years now, and that a task force is being put together, by another group, in order to end the tyranny plaguing our world. I know that I feel this shift to be true, but to what extent, remains to be seen. I simply feel that if ONE remains true to ONEs SELF, ONE shall forever remain safe and sound in the lap of God. The creation is eternal and forever and we are a part of the creation, so we too must be eternal and forever. No matter what happens, the creation shall continue, thus making us a part of that continuation. So just enjoy being in the present, and do not be so concerned with future events. As for the case of fiction or not, I would have to say NOT. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	BREAKING: Hillary Scrambling After Fox News Blows Open New Bengahzi Evidence... Shes Finished According to reports, newly released federal court documents obtained by Fox News show that Hillary Clinton supported a discreet exchange of weapons to rebels in Libya. Those same rebels later carried out the attacks in Benghazi that took the lives of several officers. It was then, and remains now, my opinion that the United States did participate, directly or indirectly, in the supply of weapons to the Libyan Transitional National Council, CIA officer David Manners stated in the District Court of Arizona. Manners testimony was part of the investigation of Marc Turi, an American defense contractor suspected of facilitating the flow of weapons. Turi maintains that the Obama administration and other Congress members knew that the weapons were being transferred. I got involved in this business in the 1990s, Turi claimed. Ive been involved in all type of operations regarding transportation, logistics and liaising with those foreign governments. Turi went on to explain that he had high-level connections both inside and outside the U.S. government that helped and encouraged him to arm the Libyans to overthrow Qaddafi. Manners was one of Turis contacts at the time. Now, an email has been discovered from Clinton in which she writes: the idea of using private security experts to arm the opposition should be considered. Turis contract was approved one month later. What do you think? Should Clinton be arrested for treason?

3	14 Reasons Why The U.S. Economys Bubble Of False Prosperity May Be About To BurstMichael Snyder Just prior to the last stock market crash, a massive amount of money was pulled out of junk bonds. Now it is happening again. In fact, as you will read about below, the market for high yield bonds just experienced a 6-sigma event. But this is not the only indication that the U.S. economy could be on the verge of very hard times. Retail sales are extremely disappointing, mortgage applications are at a 14-year low and growing geopolitical storms around the world have investors spooked. For a long time now, we have been enjoying a period of relative economic stability even though our underlying economic fundamentals continue to get even worse. Unfortunately, there are now a bunch of signs that this period of relative stability is about to end. The following are 14 reasons why the U.S. economys bubble of false prosperity may be about to burst #1 The U.S. junk bond market just experienced a 6-sigma event earlier this month. In other words, it is an event that is only supposed to have a chance of 1 in 500 million of happening. Billions of dollars are being pulled out of junk bonds right now, and that has some analysts wondering if a financial crash is right around the corner. #2 The last time that we saw a junk bond rout of this magnitude was back during the financial crash of 2008. In fact, as the Telegraph recently explained, bonds usually crash before stocks do Will the same thing happen this time around? #3 Retail sales have missed expectations for three months in a row and we just had the worst reading since January. #4 Things have gotten so bad that even Wal-Mart is really struggling. Same-store sales at Wal-Mart have declined for five quarters in a row and the outlook for the future is not particularly promising. #5 The four week moving average for mortgage applications just hit a 14 year low. It is now even lower than it was during the worst moments of the financial crisis of 2008. #6 The tech industry is supposed to be booming, but mass layoffs in the tech industry are actually 68 percent ahead of last years pace. #7 According to the Federal Reserve, 40 percent of all households in the United States are currently showing signs of financial stress. #8 The U.S. homeownership rate has fallen to the lowest level since 1995. #9 According to one survey, 76 percent of Americans do not have enough money saved to cover six months of expenses. #10 Rumblings of a stock market correction have become so loud that even the mainstream media is reporting on it. For example, just check out this CNN headline from earlier this month: Is a correction near? Wall Street on edge. #11 The civil war in Iraq is spiraling out of control, and Barack Obama has just announced that he is going to send 130 troops to the country in a humanitarian capacity. Iraq is the 7th largest oil producing nation on the entire planet, and if the flow of oil is disrupted that could have serious consequences. #12 As a result of the conflict in Ukraine, the United States, Canada and the European Union have slapped sanctions on Russia. In return, Russia has slapped sanctions on them. Will this slowdown in global trade significantly harm the U.S. economy? #13 The three day cease-fire between Hamas and Israel is about to end, and Hamas officials are saying that they are preparing for a long battle. If a resolution is not found soon, we could potentially see a full-blown regional war erupt in the Middle East. #14 The number of Ebola deaths continues to grow at an exponential rate, and if the virus starts spreading inside the United States it has the potential to pretty much shut down our entire economy. For example, the economic slowdown has gotten so bad in some nations over in Europe that they areactually experiencing deflation And in Japan, GDP just contracted at a 6.8 percent annual rate during the second quarter There is no way that this bubble of false prosperity was going to last forever. It was never real to begin with. It was just based on a pyramid of debt and false promises. In fact, the condition of the global financial system is now far worse than it was just prior to the financial crisis of 2008. Sadly, most people do not understand these things. Most people just assume that our leaders have fixed whatever caused the problems last time. And when the next crisis arrives, they will be totally blindsided by it.

1	With sexual-misconduct allegations continuing to envelop his presidency, President Clinton held a press conference Monday to reiterate his strong denial of charges that he had sex with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Embattled President Clinton vehemently denies having sex with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky (inset), calling it 'so much more than that.' 'We did not have sex,' said Clinton in a terse, carefully worded statement. 'We made love. Sweet, sweet love.' Clinton, who in the past has emphatically denied ever having sexual relations with Lewinsky or telling her to lie about it, held fast to his earlier remarks. 'I said that I did not have a sexual relationship with that woman, and I stand by the truth of that statement,' Clinton told reporters. 'We did not, I repeat, not, have a mere sexual relationship. What the two of us shared that fateful year we spent in each other's arms was so much more than that.' According to Clinton, between December 1995 and April 1996, he and Lewinsky did not merely have sex. Rather, he said, they lounged luxuriously for hours in the Oval Office, reading each other poetry, feeding each other strawberries, and tenderly caressing each other about the face and neck before surrendering to desire and consummating their heartfelt passion. 'These base allegations of a tawdry, superficial sexual involvementmotivated in no small measure by my political opponents' desire to further their own right-wing agendaare completely unfounded,' Clinton said. 'It went way beyond the physical. This was more than just the intertwining of two bodies. It was the union of two souls.' When asked to respond to charges that he advised Lewinsky to lie, Clinton insisted that he never did any such thing. 'Let me make this perfectly clear,' Clinton said. 'Never at any point did I tell Ms. Lewinsky to lie. Neither, for that matter, did I ever tell her how or where to lie. I may have said, 'Honey, could you shift your leg over a little bit here?' or 'Sweetie, try arching your back a little more,' but that is certainly not the same as telling her to lie, or advising her as to what specific position to lie down in.' 'Every time she did so,' Clinton said, 'she did it completely of her own volition, opening herself to me out of the deepest love and devotion.' In closing, Clinton told reporters: 'If the exchange of pure, unconditional love between two human beings is a crime, then I am guilty. But I must ask you all: If we were to outlaw love, where would that leave us as a nation? Where would we as a people be without that special place deep down inside each of us that only our soulmates can see?' First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton remained steadfast in her support of her embattled husband, praising him as a great leader who harbors great love for all the people of his nation, a love which it is his duty to share. 'As an internationally renowned feminist, I am firmly opposed to the objectification and use of women as mere sex objects. But this was more than just sex. It was a deep, abiding love, much like the kind my husband and I share in our deep, abiding, non-career-based marriage,' she said. According to legal experts, Clinton's avowal of his love for Lewinsky, though undeniably passionate and moving, may have been a shrewd attempt on the president's part to outmaneuver special prosecutor Kenneth Starr. 'By shifting the focus of public discourse in this case from sex to love,' Yale University law professor Laurence J. Timmins said, 'Clinton and his lawyers are likely trying to redefine the terms of Starr's investigation, putting him in the unenviable position of having to prosecute the president for expressing the most sacred and beautiful of all human emotions.' 'If Clinton can prove that he loved Lewinsky with a selfless and immortal love, the kind of all-consuming love that burns in your heart like a diamond flame and swells to crescendo with a mighty sound of trumpets, then Clinton's Jan. 17 deposition stating that he did not 'have sex' with Lewinsky will not be considered perjury,' Timmins said. 'The legal technicalities are tricky, but, basically, it comes down to the fact that anyone who has ever felt the full flush of true love beating in his breast, fluttering like the wings of a caged songbird, yearning for that exquisite moment of release, can tell you that sex and love are two very different things.' High-profile defense attorney Leslie Abramson agreed. 'If Clinton's lawyers can establish an a priori 'I-thou' criteria here, I'd say he's home free,' Abramson said. In a CBS News poll taken shortly after the Clinton press conference, 67 percent of those polled said they believe Clinton is telling the truth. 'You can see it in his eyes,' said Wanda Jackson, a La Crosse, WI, hairdresser. 'Everything he said was so sweet, I just cried. Women understand these things in their hearts, and I know he wasn't lying. God, he's dreamy.' 'I believe Clinton when he says it wasn't just about sex,' said Georgette Reid of Jackson, MS. 'These two people shared something very precious.' Clinton himself has refused to offer any additional comment on the issue, saying that the baseless charges against him are distracting from more important matters on the national agenda. 'We do not have any more time to waste on this lurid tabloid journalism,' Clinton said. 'I have to put this behind me and get on to the far more urgent task of running and loving this nation.'

According to Ballotpedia, the winning war chest in the election was, overwhelmingly, composed of contributions from five individuals. Total? $55,000. The losing war chest consisted of contributions from three groups: Monsanto, Dow AgroSciences, and the Council for Biotechnology Information. Total? $7,876,000. I can think of a hundred things to say, but Ill let most of them ride. You decide what the lessons are. Yes, Monsanto is now suing Maui to reverse the results of the ballot measure, claiming state and federal law trumps a county vote. But check your cynicism at the door long enough to appreciate what it took for the citizens of Maui and the local SHAKA Movement to shock the world. Authentic hope and change?

'Most of these people are barely even buzzed, and 87 percent of the time they're driving primarily on back roads for distances of like, eight miles, tops,' said the study's lead author, Dr. Henry Tillman, adding that the vast majority of inebriated drivers stuck with only beer all night, so they were totally fine. 'Roughly 64 percent of drunk drivers have cousins who are cops anyway, so it's really no big deal.' The study concluded that a mere one in 15 drunk drivers end up dying in a cascading torrent of fire, so, you know, odds. 
2	Obamas Plan To Beat ISIS Is An Absolute Joke President Barack Obama raised eyebrows with a recent op-ed he wrote for The Los Angeles Times. The article attempted to convince the United States that the way to stand up against ISIS is to win the hearts and minds of young Muslims. The world must continue to lift up the voices of Muslim clerics and scholars who teach the true peaceful nature of Islam, Obama write. We can echo the testimonies of former extremists who know how terrorists betray Islam. We can help Muslim entrepreneurs and youths work with the private sector to develop social media tools to counter the extremist narratives on the Internet. Of course, Obama went on to discredit the United States military, claiming that they alone are incapable of solving the problem of terrorism. The solution, Obama claims, lies less in violence and more in communication. Nor can we simply take out terrorists who kill innocent civilians, Obama continues. We also have to contront the violent extremiststhe propagandists, recruiters, and enablerswho may not directly engage in terrorist acts themselves, but who radicalize, recruit and incite others to do so. Finally, Obama claimed that his goal in the recent summit was to bring free nations together to give opportunities to the young and innocent. Our campaign to prevent people around the world from being radicalized to violence is ultimately a battle for hearts and minds, Obama concluded. What do you think? Is Obama completely ignoring the clear and present threat of existing Islamic extremists today?

2	Bristol Palin Takes Gloves Off, Absolutely DESTROYS Disrespectful Musicians Who Refused Trumps Inauguration Bristol Palin, the daughter of Sarah Palin, recently took a stand against the singers and performers that have refused to perform at Donald Trumps inauguration. If Donald Trump were still just a regular old billionaire and threw a party at Trump Tower in New York City, celebrities would be lined up out the door and the most famous artists would be pining for a chance to perform, Palin wrote on her blog. But because he will be inaugurated as the next Republican president in January, these same mega-celebrities, who would normally drool over an invitation to sing for the president, want no part of it. Palin also added that, Trumps inauguration team sought out some of the worlds greatest musicians, but nearly all of them have refused for fear of backlash or stand against him politically. Isnt it amazing how not cool it is to be conservative in the public eye? Either Hollywood is that far offor we have so many sissies we have in the spotlight too scared to stand for what they believe in! What do you think? Did Palin completely nail it? 
3	Will Erdogan Resort to Regional Nuclear Blackmail?By Mathew Maavak To begin with, an astonishing 99 generals were allegedly involved in the July 15 coup. Most armies in the world cannot claim to have 99 generals, let alone boast of 99 coup-plotters. Just how many generals does Turkey have at any one time? To get a grip on the unlikelihood of this number, the perennially-at-war United States had 886 generals and admirals as of Feb 29 this year, according to a US Senate Armed Services Committee report which tallied 411 one stars, 299 two stars, 139 three stars, and 37 four-star active generals and admirals in the Department of Defense. The US committee even concluded that its general staff was bloated! Therefore, Ankaras explanation that Turkey, with its long history of successful military coups, had swiftly neutered a coup involving 99 generals is simply absurd. So far, more than 60,000 people in the military, judiciary, civil service, universities, schools and the media have been arrested, removed or suspended over their purported links to US-based Islamist and alleged coup mastermind, Fethullah Gulen. Yet, the Wests response has been bizarrely tepid, considering their standard deafening protests whenever a single human rights activist is remanded or detained in a nation not allied to the United States. The possibility of a coup plot escaping the notice of myriad Western and non-Western intelligence assets in Turkey and beyond defies logic, especially in the wake of Ankaras reported links to terrorist groups like the Islamic State. To add incredulity into this Grade B drama, rumours of an imminent coup in Turkey had been swirling for months on Facebook, among other social media platforms. How this had escaped the notice of Turkeys vaunted national intelligence service, the MIT, is equally baffling. Logically, when coup plotters read about their own plans on Facebook, they will assuredly shrink away from a foreknown, foolhardy adventure. But no so, it seems, in Turkey. While inconsistencies regarding the Gulenist coup plot continue to pile up, and while the number of Turkish officials arrested or purged entails a whopping 30,000 per week, the West is looking to normalize relations with fellow NATO member Turkey at the earliest opportune moment. This will assuredly happen after President Recep Tayyip Erdoan determines the extent of Russian geopolitical concession, if any, during an Aug 9 meeting with President Vladimir Putin. Everyone is playing a game of waiting, or more specifically, a game of chicken which incidentally was a Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) scenario developed during the Cold War. Hardly any mainstream Western writer or geopolitical expert is gaming out a worst-case scenario that eerily parallels Erdogans Pan-Turkic/Neo-Ottoman fantasies which stretch from the Balkans to Xinjiang right through the heart of Greater Eurasia. This is redolent of a nuclear game theory denouement worthy of the legendary Herman Kahn himself! Right after the coup, Ankara terminated power supply to the US/NATO Incirlik airbase and quarantined thousands of NATO personnel within, forcing the latter to rely on backup generators since then. How did the base sustain itself with backup generators and an underreported siege for over two weeks and counting? NATO and the usually trigger-happy US government were suspiciously silent, leaving the pro- and anti-Erdogan camps to slug out a proxy war in wild speculations. Erdogan may appreciate the benefit of doubt tilted his way. The current confusion may tempt him to seize the moment by replicating the NATO-engineered chaos in Libya which, resulted in massive arms transfers to jihadi militants in Syria from 2011 onwards. Even as hardcore Islamists from Erdogans AKP party are encamped outside Incirlik, and while thousands of Turkish troops are subjecting the base to an inspection, the US sees no urgency in removing its 50-odd nuclear weapons to relative safety. No request has been filed before the UN Security Council or NATO for its safe evacuation. Instead, the fate of Incirliks nuclear weapons may be deliberately sealed by further chaos in Turkey. If Incirlik is overrun by Islamists, leading to a broken arrow (e.g. missing nukes) incident, Ankara may conveniently blame it on Gulenists or the bogeyman du jour. Unwitting players in this game of musical chairs may include Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, Moscow or Jerusalem with the hot seat exchanged in sync with Erdogans neo-Caliphate goals and hysteria levels in the Islamic world. Factitious flexibility will be the order of the day. Therefore it was not incongruous for Ankara to seek normalization of ties with Syria on July 13, only to declare that Assad must go during the hours leading up to the July 15 coup. There are additional reasons for this volte-face: Incirlik is only 90-odd kilometres from a Syrian border infested with terrorists who routinely transit via Turkey. Except for Gulen, Erdogan has yet to specifically blame any party for the coup, leaving the copious accusations, innuendos and conspiracy theories to Western anarchist writers, the Fars News agency and commentaries from a nave Russian media dreaming of a Russo-Turkish alliance against NATO. Erdogans ire is predictably shifting from Gulen the Mastermind to a superior intelligence behind the Gulen the Pawn. The gullible, less concerned by Erdogans brutal crackdowns and his regimes casual U-turns on recent geopolitically-charged events, are convinced that Ankara is referring to the United States. The story might morph yet again to include Israel, much to the delight of the Greater Eurabian collective. Who trusts a regime that wildly changes its terror-laden narrative by the week? The West, of course! A nuke snuck into Syria would rouse Washington into an outright military intervention. The quartet of the United States, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey the primary creators of ISIS itself has never wavered from its goal of overthrowing the Syrian government in favour of an Islamist regime that will be remote-controlled from Washington and Riyadh. Ankara, however, may harbour a larger and more sinister goal in mind: The union of the pan-Turkic and Pan-Islamic worlds under its leadership. A US-abetted nuclear blackmail would provide the ideal opening for this otherwise unlikely adventure. The ball is now in Putins court. The Aug 1 downing of a Russian military helicopter in Syrias Idlib province bordering Turkey was swiftly accompanied by the desecration of the pilots bodies. The terror group allegedly responsible for the shootdown, the Army of Conquest, was long backed by the ISIS quartet. Erdogan, a natural quick-draw with the accusatory finger, has yet to condemn this attack. He may be frantically trying to pin this on the CIA. Any cockamamie conspiracy theory will do, with the new normal and standards in geopolitical narratives already laid down by the United States. Against this backdrop, will Putin respond positively to Turkish overtures or will Moscow call for a UNSC meeting to demand the temporary removal of US nuclear weapons from Turkish soil? The latter course of action would infuriate a megalomaniacal Erdogan who might be backed by an equally enraged NATO; the same NATO whose military personnel are ironically besieged at Incirlik. Coincidentally, ISIS has just declared war on Russia, and one wonders whether this was a subtle warning meant for Putin? The possibilities here are of a veritable Byzantine vintage. Either way, the farcical siege of Incirlik may catapult Erdogan to be a kingmaker or Caliph-in-waiting for the Turkic and Islamic worlds. If nuclear weapons go missing during a manufactured protest, the world will prostrate itself before Erdogan to have them recovered. The quid pro quo would likely be Erdogans geopolitical ultimatums to burnish his image in the Islamic world even while his military retrieves those missing nukes in a deliberate, piecemeal manner. In the interim, Western counter-terrorism experts may stoke rumours of nukes being smuggled into Chechnya, West Bank, Kashmir or Xinjiang or a via mysterious vessel floating in the Straits of Malacca. Remember the hyper-mediated fears whipped up after 9/11? Few are gaming out the possibility of a US-Turkish plot to destabilise the Silk Road project. At the very least, Erdogan has always eyed a Turkic silk road controlled by Ankara; one where Turkey would be the undisputed linchpin of Greater Eurasia. It is therefore imperative to demand the removal of US nuclear weapons from Incirlik to relative safety even temporarily until Turkey returns to normality. As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, it would be criminally remiss of Washington not to do so under the present circumstances. Image Credit @Mathew Maavak, 2016.

This could have been a joint US/Erdogan covert plot to entice people to join the coup, which seemed to be expected by Erdogan forces, in order to eliminate them and cement Erdogans authority going forward. If this is the case the nuclear weapons were never in jeopardy. When it comes to nuclear weapons, one of the things you do is bully the countries that dont have them. Another thing you do is threaten to use them in retaliation against someone else who uses them. Actually using them is the most horrible option of all. Thats a good bet it was a layered deception to create a purge to whip up the Islamists in Turkey, more divide and conquer exactly as we see playing out in the US with the Trump vs Hillary camps and rancor with Bernie supporter and lots of suggestions of a coming civil war reinforced by Hollywood predictive programming (Captain America). The global elite are masters of the dialectic. Erdogan (CIA global puppet) looking to be a backward nationalist tyrant is contrasted with CIA global elite puppet Gulen who advocates globalism and the new world religion. The CIA and MI-6 organized this coup. Many of these arrested Generals were linked to NATO and the CIA. The Gulen organizations in Turkey and elsewhere are quite numerous and definitely are CIA affiliated. The CIA quickly put together this coup because of the quickly changing relationship between Turkey and Russia, which the CIA, NATO and MI-6 definitely did not like. Except consider Russian elites are new world order members in good standing, thus this would be Kabuki theater and a sloppy operation at that. If the CIA wanted Erdogan out, there are cleaner and more efficient ways to handle it. If Russia was a threat, Podesta working for the Clintons would not have been part of a group of elites using Slokovo foundation to supply the Russians with sensitive and classified research and technologies that could undermine US national security. But then, Podestas far left think tank Center for American Progress took in $5.25 million dollars from Sea Change registered in Bermuda to Klein Inc tied to a number of business entities including a well connected Russian mega oligarch. Podesta, like Bill Clinton, Bush Sr., the Cheneys, Gore, etc., are Trilateralists. Yes, absolutely, and also theyre not commies, theyre globalists and many are satanists. While this interesting news is true, it is good to understand that Russia now is very much into well controlled capitalism. These type of business deals are made all the time. Nevertheless, those controlling our government and news media are very much anti-Russian, as anyone exposed to their propaganda is well aware. Its a mixed bag, the US MSM has written articles glorifying Russias invited entry into carving up business opportunities in Afghanistan, recapitulating it role decades ago. The NY Times allowed Putin an opportunity to get a favorable op-ed published. Regardless, overall the situation is Kabuki theater, thus explaining why for several years Russian troops have been training on US military bases. We were told the BRICS were the nemeses to the NWO despite modern China being a global elite creation and Indian elites under the same tight grip. There are elite papers and planning documents the blogger of redefininggod has dug up showing even before WW2 TPTB intended to create the final NWO paradigm using a multipolar global power dialectic. Yep, but it was planned to fail. No, Russian intelligence tipped Turkeys intelligence agency about the coup. Unlike, the CIA coup in Ukraine, which was well planned and funded, the Turkish failed coup was hastily put together. These two factors caused its failure. Prior to the coup, Erdogan was going so far as to go after academics and journalists who were critical of him and his policies. A lot of tension was building. Human rights lawyers and labor activists are being jailed in China. Last month Russia sentenced two peaceful government critics to serve time in Siberia. Lots of tension and police state action going global. Re-education camps in the UK if I understand correctly. America is noted for being criminally remiss. That is why there are more than a million less people in the World today then there were just 13 years ago. I dont think the US cares one way or another as to steals its bombs, as long as they dont find their way home with a big bang! Dont care? The global elite who hijacked the US or the US populace? Many of us care very much thats why we follow websites like this one and get involved in local 9/11 Truth education and other activist causes. Were being poisoned daily, refused effective cancer treatments, bankrupted, run down and dumbed down. Its a historical travesty psychopaths tend to seize power, why else have over 97 million been slaughtered by their own communist governments (with the consent of the globalists) and many more before that in various empires that have sought to conquer the planet. Its a very old battle. Actually I was speaking of the government. Unfortunately, in a Democracy, you get the government you deserve. For well over a 100 years, western democracies have only been so in name, the reality is theyve been plutocracies / oligarchies as have the vast majority of nations of the world, the main difference is the window dressing. When the US was formed, I would have had few rights and been little more than property by law. Human society evolves but the Iron Law of Politics is always a reality we have to contend with. what democracy. it does not exist anywhere. as plato indicated, democracy is the penultimate form of government before tyranny. Why would the Obomber want to remove the nukes to safety??? The plan is to have them hijack the nukes and set off Damascus (a ruinous heap), Paris, Berlin, New York, Chicago, and D.C. and many others. Obomber will leave Killary in charge to preside over the destruction of the U.S.A. and go by the rivers of Babylon as antichrist. Perhaps not Damascus as the Assad family is also tight with the global elite and had been transforming the culture and economy into the NWO paradigm since the late 90s going into high gear by early 2000s. For instance, Syrian planners have been working on transforming Damascus into a UN Agenda 21 Smart City as has been done in Iran where government issued RFID biometric tracking and monitoring smart cards are being given to Iranian citizens to use in Sustainable Smart City Tehran. For certain, we are being set up for major turmoil on multiple fronts to get humanity to accept the NWO. Damascus has been sacrificial, it seems, to become another Phoenix rising. Now they (the beast in the east) have given the Iranians $400million USD with a promise of another $1.3 billion. Far Reaching Theory. Erdogan is dangerous yes but Turkish People would never let happen what you have envisioned. But nevertheless it was entertaining to read.

Francis Boyle, Ilan Pappe, this writer, and others call it slow-motion genocide. Call it anything you like but understand whats going on. Why else would activists risk life and limb to help? No one pays them. Theyre given nothing in return. Theyre involved because its important to help. Theyre true heroes. Only friends, family, and supporters know them. Media scoundrels ignore them. Ship to Gaza Sweden (Estelle) activists are some of the best. They knew the risks but took them. In international waters, Israeli commandos attacked them. In custody they were harshly treated. Their humanitarian cargo, personal possessions, and vessel were confiscated. They were kidnapped and imprisoned for several days. Israel brutalized them for doing the right thing. Theyre now free, either heading home, or perhaps there resting and recovering from their ordeal. Israel never makes it easy. Thats how rogue states operate. Elik Elhanan: excessive force was used against us, without any reason Electric shocks by taser out of vengeful hatred A Greek MP was beaten by Shabak Security Service interrogators Perhaps once activists can speak freely well learn more. Everyone Israel detains gets harsh treatment. Its standard practice. Virtually every Palestinian imprisoned is tortured or abused. Children young as 10 (and sometimes younger) are treated like adults. Arrested Palestinian supporters also taste Israeli harshness. selfnews Jews are treated like enemies. On Monday, Israeli Estelle participants Elhanan, Yonatan Shapira and Reut Mor were freed on bail. They still face likely recrimination. Prosecutors wanted the book thrown at them. Beersheba District Court Judge Yael Raz-Levi threw out the harshest charges. Theyre still vulnerable to conviction on trying to breach Gazas siege. Doing so, of course, is heroic, not criminal. Peace activists greeted the three Israelis on release. Elhanan said he and others went through difficult days. They didnt regret sailing and knew what theyd likely face. During the voyage I made a special contact with Evangelis, a Member of the Greek Parliament who sailed with us, said Elhanan. When the Naval Commandos came aboard and while we were blocking their way to the bridge, Evangelis told me we have generated in him a love for the people of Israel and a hope for a better future in the Middle East. Shortly afterwards they separated us. Yesterday evening, when they put (former Israeli citizen initially separated from the others) Dror Feiler in our cell, he told us that Evangelis had been beaten by the Shabak interrogators. The Shabak lied shamelessly to the Consuls and representatives of foreign countries, telling them that their citizens and MPs were being treated well. They used a completely disproportional amount of force against us. When the Navy arrived to take us over, Yonatan Shapira counted no less than fifteen vessels surrounding us on all sides. Large and small ships and boats, a ship carrying a helicopter, as well as the Zodiacs of the Naval Commandos. Fifteen armed naval vessels against one small civilian boat carrying games for the children of Gaza. We must have disturbed very much the Navy and those who give orders to the Navy. When they came aboard and we blocked their way, the soldiers knew exactly who I was. They shouted in Hebrew: Elhanan, you will pay for your Leftism! and used the taser to give me electric shocks. Even after they completed their takeover of the boat, they continued to use the taser and administer more shocks. But if they think they could deter me and those who sailed with me, they are mistaken. The siege of Gaza is an ongoing crime and it must be ended. We will continue the struggle. Everyone trying to breach Gazas siege feels the same way. Theyre committed for justice, nothing less. Many say theyll return on future missions. The latest Ship to Gaza Sweden (Estelle) communique said: According to Ship to Gazas Israeli lawyers, all remaining activists are being deported tomorrow morning (Wednesday) at 4.30 AM. The Swedish activists are expected to arrive at Arlanda airport at 3PM. Videos from the attack on the Estelle Publiceringsdatum: 2012-10-23 Publicerad av: Nyhet When the activists are returning to their countries, other pictures of the event when the Estelle was attacked unfold. Partly through oral testimonies, partly through photos and videos that the activists managed to smuggle with them. Videos below show some of their ordeal. More will follow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnH3LxiKJ3Mfeature=youtu.be On October 23, GazaArk.org said Jim Manly, former Canadian parliamentarian and retired United Church Minister, is free. Hes heading home. Hell arrive in Toronto Wednesday morning. Israel kidnapped him like other Estelle activists. All of them were treated harshly. Smuggled video footage above shows Israeli navy vessels surrounding Estelle. On October 24, the Jerusalem Post headlined Video: Estelle taunts IDF before being boarded, saying: You are a pirate, shouted one activist. You are a war criminal, he added. Video was sent home by homing pigeon. Those gotten out showed events before Israel commandos boarded Estelle. Israeli navy radioed activists in English, saying: Estelle, this is the Israeli navy. Video showed approaching Israeli vessels. A military helicopter flew overhead. The Gaza area and coastal region are closed to all maritime traffic as part of the maritime blockade imposed for security purposes on the Gaza Strip. Israels blockade has nothing to do with security. Its collective punishment for economic and other reasons. Israel openly admits it. Your attempts to enter the Gaza Strip are a violation of international law. Breaching Gazas siege, of course, is legal and heroic. Enforcing it it lawless. We remind you that humanitarian supplies may be delivered to the Gaza Strip by land. False! Israel routinely confiscates everything on its exclusion list. Most humanitarian supplies activists bring are blocked. You are welcome to enter the Ashdod port and deliver the supplies through the recognized land crossings. False again! Moreover, interdicting nonbelligerent vessels in international waters is piracy. Gazas coastal waters belong to Palestine, not Israel. selfnewss were warned that failure to obey Israels orders meant preventive measures would follow. In other words, theyd be subjected to events that unfolded. You are responsible for the consequences of your actions. selfnewss proudly and courageously try to help. Preventing them violates international law. Estelles captain responded: We are a normal trading vessel. Gaza is a free state. I hope you do not do anything illegal on the international waters, and we can have this solved in a peaceful way. An activist then yelled: They are coming. Ring the bell. Another shouted at Israeli soldiers as they prepared to board: Disobey your commanders. Participants charged Israel with excessive force during boarding, arrest, and detention. Knowing their electronic equipment and other possessions would be confiscated, activists placed sim cards into the bands of homing pigeons that were on board the 53-meter ship. Bombing Gaza Accompanies High-Seas Piracy On and off for days, Israeli warplanes bombed Gaza. A dozen or more civilians were killed. Many others were wounded. Media scoundrels reported nothing. Since October 22, six more Palestinians died. Another 12 were wounded. Areas east of Rafah city were targeted. So was As-Salateen in Gazas northwest. An Israeli missile destroyed a power grid. Outages affected several areas. Az-Zetoun neighborhood, east of Gaza City, was also attacked. No casualties were reported. Hamas said Israeli tanks shelled Gaza. These type attacks happen often. Six Khan Younis schools were evacuated to protect children. Gazans live in a war zone. No one knows from day to day wholl live, die, or remain unharmed. Children are as vulnerable as adults. Netanyahu is an unindicted war criminal. He warned of more to come, saying: We will fight and we will hit them very, very hard. He and IDF spokesmen refer to homemade rockets and mortars fired from Gaza at Israel. Israel calls self-defense terrorism. Anyone paying attention and aware of conditions knows otherwise. With January elections approaching, Netanyahu is in campaign mode. Acting tough is strategy to win votes. Cast Lead preceded Israels February 2009 legislative elections. Only the fullness of time will tell if Netanyahu plans more war as a way to remain prime minister. He governs lawlessly. Put nothing past him. Gazans know theyre vulnerable to Cast Lead 2.0. It could happen any time.

1	Defying the odds with a stunning 107-100 upset victory over Spain, hot shot coach Mike Krzyzewski led the hapless misfits on the U.S. mens basketball team to Olympic gold Sunday, transforming the scraggly bunch of lovable losers into world champions in just one month. 'When we started in July, not one of them knew how to shoot a free throw, Kevin [Durant] couldnt even dribble a basketball without using both hands, and there wasn't a single player capable of passing, but they've really come a long way,' said Krzyzewski, who reportedly made a breakthrough right before the team's first game when he finally taught the freaks, washouts, and spazzes to believe in themselves. 'Sure they may be dorky, weird-looking, or unpopular, but we showed the Spanish what a team of really great friends can accomplish with hard work, a whole lot of heart, and a little luck.' Krzyzewski said he now plans to go to Durham, NC, where he will try to guide the bumbling squad of dickheads on the Duke Blue Devils team to an improbable NCAA championship. 
2	Sean Hannity Shocks Fans With Massive Announcement About Trumps White House Fox News host Sean Hannity shocked viewers everywhere when he suggested that president-elect Donald Trump should deny several major news outlets White House press credentials. Politico recently reported that Hannity publicly agreed with Twitter user J.R. McClaren when he tweeted tat CNN, The New York Times, the Washington Post and other prominent news outlets shown to have colluded by @wikileaks should not be granted press credentials. Amen, Hannity responded. The tweet was reference WikiLeaks publication of hacked emails, showing controversial correspondence between the reporters and major players in the DNC and Hillary Clintons campaign. Hannity was one of few reporters to criticize the mainstream media throughout the election for their bias against Trump. Despite the backlash, Hannity recently doubled down on his claims, calling CNN media reporter Brian Stelter a [Fox News] stalker. Hannity also criticized Stelter for calling the election results a national emergency during a CNN segment. 
3	Scupper The Smart World OrderJulie Beal So when I came across the NSTIC document, and could find little mention of it in the news, I figured I had to research it for myself. Id already started honing in on all things smart, and a bigger picture was taking place, weaving together with all Ive learned over the last twenty years. Identity management sounds oh-so-lame, but the implications for all global systems are huge. It is set to facilitate control of a global digital economy, based on the values of Agenda 21. In his recent article, The Network Takeover[4], leading network scientist, Albert Lszl Barabasi, argued, Data, and analysis, have reached unspeakable proportions; network analysts, such as computational social scientists, are running simulations, and using new mathematical models, to uncover universal laws pertaining to all networks. These are now being studied as global systems science and plans are afoot to completely change the way the global economic system functions. The biggest movers and shakers in finance see the wisdom of network science, and plan to use it to fix things as part of the New Economy now being fashioned; it all comes down to risk, and the laws which govern networks allow predictions to be made, which helps facilitate control[5]. Unsurprisingly, network science is being actively researched by military[6] and defence departments in America; understanding trust forms part of this research, useful for the new economy which is shaping up to be a commodification of identity (reputation ratings and identity management provide the metrics) and of nature, p2p-styley. The United Nations Global Pulse[7] initiative stresses the need for regular data collection, to feed network simulations which will then help drive policy changes. The Global Climate Forum[8] is also on the bandwagon; they have partnered with an EU group[9] focusing on the science of global systems, which are said to include: Identity management for banks has already been put in place; the FSB and the G20 have created a way to uniquely identify all parties to a financial transaction; the system of global Legal Entity Identifiers[10] (LEIs) will be in place by March 2013; a key objective for the system is to improve risk aggregation by integrating information on corporate relationships (ownership and hierarchies). Andrew Haldane supports Soros in the New Economics movement, saying the LEI system will be a global financial language. Complexity economics[11] is being endorsed[12] by all global financial bodies, and leading individuals, such as Soros, Stiglitz, Haldane, et al. All systems are to have their virtual selves; computer simulations are fed real-time information, allowing driver nodes to be identified, and degrees of influence, edges, etc., are mapped out to predict future interplay between nodes, and the overall projected effect. So might I tentatively suggest that others join me in writing about these things? spread the word about control of the nodes, and the way identity management, the economy, the smart grid[13], and Agenda 21, all mesh together as part of the total global system-of-systems, which Big Brothers Big Brain could one day control . . . Sod that! lets turn network knowledge to our advantage: for instance, it assures us of our power to influence (studies have shown that as little as 0.8%[14] of the population of an online social network can change the opinion of the majority.)[15] If we are indeed the last generation with the power to influence, now is the time. Spread the knowledge thats not in the news. In the meantime, I would say: *** Never be fooled by well-being surveys or happiness rallies *** Say nay! and scupper the smart world order! Be determined, be thankful. And happy in the knowledge that the light outshines the dark. Our light shines all around. Truth. White light: purple light: blue light love buzzing, the Blessing.

We see many extreme events, we see problems such as the flash crash, or also the financial crisis. That is related to the fact that we have interconnected everything. In some sense, we have created unstable systems. We can show that many of the global trends that we are seeing at the moment, like increasing connectivity, increase in the speed, increase in complexity, are very good in the beginning, but (and this is kind of surprising) there is a turning point and that turning point can turn into a tipping point that makes the systems shift in an unknown way. We really need to understand those systems, not just their components. Its not good enough to have wonderful gadgets like smartphones and computers; each of them working fine in separation. Their interaction is creating a completely new world, and it is very important to recognize that its not just a gradual change of our world; there is a sudden transition in the behavior of those systems, as the coupling strength exceeds a certain threshold. http://edge.org/conversation/a-new-kind-of-social-inspired-technology This article has been entered into the selfnews Post Writing Contest Solutions. 1st place receives a $250 cash prize $250 gift certificate to Offgrid Outpost. 2nd place receives a $250 gift certificate to Offgrid Outpost.

1	With political turmoil and economic chaos threatening to tear the nation apart, Russia's parliament voted unanimously Monday to rename the crumbling former superpower 'Batshitzania.' 'We felt a new name was in order to suit our new identity,' said acting Batshitzanian prime minister Viktor Chernomyrdin, standing atop a burning Kremlin. 'Citizens are frantically trying to get rid of their worthless rubles, our nuclear weapons are sitting unguarded in abandoned silos, and the mentally unstable Boris Yeltsin, who is scheduled to undergo octuple-bypass surgery next week, refuses to step down. Basically, everything's going bat-shit zany over here.' Other names considered for the collapsing nation include Kabloomia, Dystopskia and Hell. 
1	Federal officials confirmed Tuesday that all forms of communication with Florida, the bloody battleground for 25 electoral votes, have been cut off. Across the state, Atlantic Bell phone lines and relays have been severed. The efforts of Georgia-based emergency crews hoping to reconnect lines have been hampered by piles of burning vehicles choking all roads leading into the state. In addition to the loss of phone contact, Internet, television, and radio communications have been lost to the surging violence plaguing the most bitterly contested state in the nation. 'We are attempting to bring swift and fair closure to these elections,' said Florida Governor Jeb Bush during a statewide televised message at 7:35 p.m. EST Monday, the last known transmission from the Sunshine State. 'We ask that Gore and his followers concede gracefully and allow a dignified end to a longwhat the...? No! Back! Back!' The screen then went black. Though technicians stationed along the Georgia border have reported receiving faint, garbled radio signals from walkie-talkies and ham radios, the content of these transmissions is unclear. Through the heavy static, the technicians have reportedly heard a variety of unconfirmed sounds, including screams for help, the toneless recitation of random strings of numbers, and harshly barked combat orders. The technicians could also make out certain specific words and phrases, including 'Bush by three,' 'rererererecount,' and 'Oy gevalt.' Several heavily accented female voices could also be heard wailing, 'Elin.' According to reconnaissance photos taken by Russian military aircraft, the entire southeast portion of the state, including Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, is obscured by thick smoke. In a photo of Biscayne Bay, the water has a distinct crimson tint. Another photo shows a flotilla of commercial fishing boats, overloaded with refugees and sailing in the direction of Cuba. 'We have no idea what's going on down there,' said Captain Matt Tunney of the Georgia National Guard, one of the few reserve units available to respond to the Florida crisis. 'There are 15 million people trapped in that boiling cauldron, everyone from Boca Raton retirees to Jacksonville rednecks to Miami Beach fashion models. To be honest, I don't think I want to know what's going on.' 
1	After being waived by the New York Jets and so far receiving no offers from other NFL teams, former Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow was reportedly sitting alone in the darkness of his alma maters deserted football stadium, sources confirmed Wednesday. According to eyewitnesses, Tebow has been in the same seat at the 50-yard line for several hours and was spotted staring wistfully across his old home field, holding his head in his hands as a flood of familiar memories swept him back in time. What happened? said Tebow, who was overheard murmuring while imagining the stadium filled with the throngs of adoring fans who once chanted his name and cheered every single yard he gained. Whatever happened to that? Further reports indicated that Tebow then sat and listened to the silence of 90,000 empty seats for several minutes before finally letting out a long, heavy-hearted sigh, recalling the mighty roar that filled Ben Hill Griffin Stadium the day he announced he would forego the 2009 NFL draft and return for his senior season. With the crowds shouts of We love you, Tim! and You can do anything! still echoing in his ears, the Heisman Trophy winner reportedly gazed at a banner reading This is Gator Country and remembered a time, not so long ago, when those words were synonymous with his name: Tim Tebow. Tim Tebow, the hero, Tebow said quietly. The one everyone is counting on. Sources confirmed that as the former Gators quarterback continued to think about his past as a college superstar, a vivid scene reportedly formed in the once so promising 25-year-olds mind and Tebow saw himself taking a snap at the 20-yard line, bursting through a hole, leaping over defenders, churning closer and closer to the end zone. Touchdown! whispered Tebow, realizing even then that he would never recapture the glory of those November evenings in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Touchdown, Gators! Florida is going to win again! However, a fearful expression then reportedly crossed Tebows face as he suddenly envisioned the cackling likeness of Rex Ryan standing at midfield, pointing at the former All-American and telling him that no NFL team will ever sign him as anything but a running back or tight end. Tebow, who sources confirmed shook his head in an apparent attempt to dispel the haunting image, did not get up from the seat, instead staying in the same place and trying to focus on the memory of setting the record for most rushing touchdowns in team history. At press time, University of Florida grounds crew workers had reportedly approached Tebow and requested that he leave the premises immediately. 
3	Officer Fired For Helping Suicidal Student Instead of TasingAmanda Warren Jeff Solomon, president of Statewide University Police Association (SUPA) reports that the unidentified corporal a 20-year veteran officer is on leave and faces getting fired. The officer worked at the campus for 8 years. He had responded to the suicidal student in February by deescalating and calming the student, then giving him water at the students request. Thats before the three Marina officers arrived at the scene at the dorm and took matters into their own hands. The Marina officers who arrived on the scene began tasing (an already calmed?) student in a dorm that contained a knife and hammer, not in his hands. They claimed to have seen blood and a singed sweater. Marina Police Chief Edmundo Rodriguez said the student, By indiscriminately tasing Furthermore, the Marina department lodged a formal complaint against the university officer for failure to act and claimed he just stood there. Solomon commented: Worse yet, the officers tried to get the campus officer to join them in their Taser games Solomon adds: Marina Department claims he froze. But the campus officer didnt see the need for more tasing. The officer has indeed been issued a notice of termination, Monterey Herald reports. This is his first disciplinary offense. The students baffled father said: As of 2012, over 500 Americans have died from the use of Tasers alone. This number may or may not be included in the overall estimate of 500 Americans dying from police force each year over 5,000 since 9/11, a number greater than American soldiers lost in Iraq. Actual numbers will not be revealed. Meanwhile, the number of officers dying in the line of fire has overall, declined. An almost all-time low of 27 officers last year, and an estimate of 50 by the end of this year. In the aftermath of the fatal Eric Garner incident where the only person indicted was the one who filmed it its incredible that an officer is fired for administering help not harm to a college student.

2	Death Spiral States: 11 States With More People On Welfare Than Employed? Recently, rumors have been circulating that 11 states had reached a point where they had more people living on Welfare than they did employed. While the story seems to be plausible given the state of affairs, it was recently deemed untrue. Rumors originated from an article published in Forbes magazine, which listed eleven states (Alabama, California, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Main, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, and South Carolina) were in financial death spirals. According to the article, those states were at high risk for fiscal tailspin making them a danger to investors. After being circulated through the internet the problem was simplified to claiming that the states had more welfare recipients that employed persons. Instead, the original article assessed whether states feel under two categories: whether they had more takers than makers and where they ranked on a scorecard of state credit-worthiness. Forbes categorized takers as the number of state and local government works plus the number of people of Medicaid plus 1 for each $100,000 of unfunded pension liabilities. So while takers included those who collect from welfare, the assessment was not based on that number alone. What do you think? Are welfare recipients still contributing to the majority of the problem? 
3	Top 10 Most Dangerous U.S. Government Agenciesselfnews Post One could argue that every government agency serves the purpose of stifling freedom and wasting taxpayer money. Yet, the 10 listed below go the extra mile for their sheer corruption, draconian regulations, and ultimate impact upon the largest number of citizens. The main criteria for inclusion in the top 10 is the amount of money spent by the taxpayer according to official budget declarations, and then attaining the highest level of doing exactly the opposite of their stated intentions. Here is the countdown to the top 10 most dangerous U.S. government agencies to the freedom, prosperity and health of its citizens . . . . Their record of ignoring environmental damage and the health effects on humans from major events such as9/11, the Exxon and Gulf oil spills to the worst case, Fukushima, is unparalleled. Rather than investigate and warn of real dangers, they have gone after farmers for dubious claims of water contamination, whiletreating milk spills as they should have treated oil spills. Even worse, the EPA has concluded that there is no law preventing it from doing research on Americans. A recent lawsuit over the EPAs work with airborne pollutants will put this claim to the test in Federal court. Their illegal human experiments could break the Nuremberg Code (source: The Washington Times). Cries of End the Fed! continue to get louder, while more people are beginning to wake up completely and couple this with End the IRS! In fact, the two were developed together 100 years ago making the private Fed and the government IRS fraternal twins in creating a system of indentured servitude through dollar devaluation and arbitrary tax collection, respectively. The Fed enslaves through stealth, while the IRS uses force to impose itself through ever-expanding regulations and the threat of fines and imprisonment. As the collection division, the IRS rakes in a staggering $2.3 trillion annually. Despite that massive amount, the IRS has a distinguished record of ignoring the shenanigans of major corporations and federal employees, while focusing harshly on the average private citizen and small businesses in particular. Thankfully, there is some momentum toward abolishing the IRS through FairTax legislation. Now would be a good time, as the IRS will be empowered even further when the healthcare overhaul takes effect. Despite massive funding to help people in dire need of assistance, FEMA has failed spectacularly in the cases of Katrina and Sandy, even hindering the ability of people to make it on their own, as gun confiscation was ordered against the population affected by Katrina. The mechanics of offering aid to legitimate victims of Sandy are still being debated by the U.S. government. Additionally, there is a disturbing amount of evidence that suggests FEMA would be instrumental in enslaving large populations following an economic collapse or civil unrest. FEMA centers are now open knowledge and if implemented will likely resemble the squalor and horror that refugees encountered when jammed into the New Orleans Superdome following Katrina. This includes the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) which has its own annual budget of$8 billion. The Department of Justice is perhaps the most Orwellian oxymoron of all government agencies. For decades they have pursued a failed War on Drugs that targets small-time users while ignoring the true drug criminals. In fact, theyve even armed the drug gangs as revealed in the Fast and Furious scandal.We have a Justice Department more concerned with going after whistleblowers of crimes than the criminals themselves.The FBI deserves a whole section unto itself given their recent behavior. The only terrorists theyve caught since 9-11 are the ones they have created with their own material support. Further, the FBI is increasingly using illegal surveillance tactics for peaceful activists like Occupy demonstrators and others. It has recently been revealed that the FBI was actually spying on Occupy protesters at the behest of banks, not the government, even refusing to tell Occupy leaders that there were assassination plots against them. Finally, it must be noted that no bankers have gone to jail from the immense fraud that led to the financial collapse of 2008 and beyond; no one significant has gone to jail for torture and other war crimes; and government corruption has been all but legalized. Many of the intelligence accounts are classified, so we cant really know the true total, but we do know that the budget for spy agencies has doubled since 9/11. The NSA has grabbed the most attention as of late with plans to expand into their new $2 billion data mining center in Bluffdale, Utah set to launch in September of this year. Whistleblowers like William Binney have stated that the agency is already spying on its own citizens domestically. As the war on terror increases its scope through drone surveillance on American soil, the NSAs budget will only increase, while increasing the danger posed to large sections of the U.S. Constitution. The CIA of course has long been implicated in using assassination rings to topple foreign governments and political opponents, while being at the center of the Guantanamo Bay and rendition torture apparatus. With the arrival of no-holds-barred legislation like NDAA 2013, the intelligence regime becomes more dangerous than ever. The way that America has chosen to educate its youth is the beginning of the justifications for the abuses of every other federal agency. The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America, as Charlotte Iserbyt has called it, has resulted in a once independent, entrepreneurial nation becoming a collectivized horde of selfish, but not individualistic, youth. There is much less attention paid to vocational skills, and much more attention paid to training the next bunch of public officials or bureaucracy enforcers. Furthermore, the public school system is clearly engaging in prisoner training with the actions of children becoming criminalized at an ever-greater pace. With the recent CT school shooting, we can expect that this will now become part of the curriculum as justification for the surrounding police state will be taught as a logical consequence in the face of such random threats of terror. Much like the Department of Defense, the activities of DHS are all-encompassing including the goon squad of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which hasemployed untrained, low IQ, and criminal elements including pedophiles to reach into the pants of men, women and children. The TSA is also responsible for introducing cancer to its employees and the public through its backscatter radiation naked imaging machines. And now they are set to hit the streets across America with their spin-off VIPR teams.DHS has set up the ultimate framework for tyranny, including secret lists, secret arrests, activist surveillance, biometric immigration measures, control of cyberspace, Orwellian telescreens and PSAs that increasingly portray average citizens who are engaged in normal activities as worthy of suspicion and interrogation. They are sure to be on the front lines of any gun control and confiscation initiatives, as they clearly have been stockpiling their own ammunition in ever greater numbers. If there is one agency that is administering the globalist directives of Agenda 21, it is the USDA. They have recently begun putting dubious embargoes on small farms, which is leading to economic and literal starvation of people and animals alike. Through their trickle down directives, farmers can even be charged in a different county after being cleared of wrongdoing in a previous case. This is the hallmark of bureaucratic tyranny. The USDA has been instrumental in clearing Dow Chemicals GM soy, giving Monsantos GMO crops special speed approval, and covering up pesticide damage to humans and bee populations. But in true absurdist bureaucratic style, the same organization that has consistently overlooked the health and economic threats to countless millions of people decided to fine a family $4 million dollars for selling bunny rabbits. This gargantuan structure includes the FDA, CDC and the National Institutes of Health among others.The FDA has its own annual budget of$4.5 billion. This agency has approved prescription and over-the-counter drugs that knowingly have killed hundreds of thousands of people annually, has increased irradiation of the food supply, and has covered up vaccine injuries, But if you want Big Pharma, you can get it from a vending machine, thanks to the FDA. No surprise, the FDA has ties to Monsanto and ties to Bayer. Now our food is being made and modified by the largest pesticide manufacturer, while any move to label GMO is shut down by the agency. The FDA has additionally approvedAquaBountys GE Salmon despite a statement by The Center for Food Safety,that its bad for the consumer, bad for the salmon industry, and bad for the environment. Among other gems are dangerousanimal feed additives, approving dangerous anti-viral drugs for infants, and policing food safety in foreign nations. As for the CDC, or Centers for Disease Creation and Proliferation as some natural medicine practitioners have coined the agency (budget $11 billion), they have encouraged vaccination to such an extent that some have questioned whether their mandated vaccine schedule is part of a compulsory sterilization program. This agency is in desperate need of returning to its more honest original name: The War Department. In addition to being the recipient of the highest percentage of the federal budget, the DoDsDefense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) division almost deserves a category of its own.Many of DARPAs projects fall into the money pit of black budget secret projects not even subjected to presidential and congressional oversight. With DARPAs mad science reputation, it is no doubt one of the top recipients of the $50 billion annual black budget, making this one of the most dangerous federal agencies to both the economy of the U.S. and to world peace. Overall, the Department of Defense as the coordinator for anything that falls under national security is responsible for openly killing millions and eviscerating the Constitution and there is no sign that they are letting up any time soon. Honorable Mention This agency falls under HHS, but the video below demonstrates a special level of corruption and worthlessness that is humorous, except for the fact that it represents a staggering level of taxpayer looting, despite the small size of the agency (537 people). It is a microcosm of what we only can imagine going on within the larger agencies, especially those with less oversight. The governments track record for permitting massive looting of the economy in collusion with the private banking sector; the upcoming collusion with the insurance industry and Big Pharma to change the landscape of healthcare; their collusion with private contractors to implement a prison-industrial complex; their unconstitutional war machine, and their history of secret human experiments makes government the single greatest terrestrial danger we face. In the 20th century alone, governments across the world outright murdered 290 million people, known as democide. How many more must have fallen to covert means and bureaucratic ineptitude? How many more will follow? There is so much more that could have been mentioned about the dangers of the agencies listed above. Do you have other facts to document? How would you rank these agencies? Would you like to add an agency to the above list? Please do so in the comment section. Read other articles by selfnews Post Here 
3	The Hidden Bipartisan Agenda Behind Eliminating the Export-Import BankBrandon Turbeville For instance, leading the charge against the Export-Import Bank is the Republican Congressman Jeb Hensarling of Texas. Hensarling has repeatedly characterized the Export-Import Bank as corrupt and a risk to American taxpayers. The Congressman has referenced a number of major corporations that the bank has provided assistance to that have proven to be non-productive or even negatively productive to the US economy. Hensarling has also argued, in essence, that the Export-Import Bank violates the concept of the Austrian school of economics. Others on the Republican side, most notably Koch Industries and groups that Koch backs (Americans for Prosperity, Competitive Enterprise Institute, and Mercatus Center to name a few), have also made common practice of attacking the Ex-Im Bank. For instance, as the Huffington Post writes, But while the Ex-Im Bank suffers an attack from the Right, it is also receiving blows from the Left Liberal side of the aisle. For instance, Florida Representative Alan Grayson has described the Ex-Im Bank as being corporate welfare at its worst. Grayson went even further by stating On the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders and Barack Obama (on the campaign trail) railed against the cronyism of the Ex-Im Bank by heaving forward the left-wing talking point attack on the Bank as being corporate welfare. Grayson is also joined by Democratic Representative from Texas, Lloyd Doggett, in opposition to the existence of the Ex-Im Bank. The question surrounding the bank is particularly prescient due to the fact that its formal authorization is set to expire on September 30, the day Congressional funding for the entire Federal government runs out. What The Ex-Im Bank Is The Export-Import Bank, while not nearly as well-known as the Federal Reserve, is nonetheless an important part of the United States economy, particularly in the area of American exports. The Bank functions as the export credit agency of the United States and, in many ways, it functions as an insurance company more so than an actual bank. Essentially, the Ex-Im Bank offers credit and financing for U.S. exports that may be considered too risky by the private sector. The Bank also offers credit for those exports that the private sector is not willing to finance. The general idea of the Export-Import Bank is to facilitate exports in cases where, due to international relations, international economic disturbances, etc., the potential exporter may find it more difficult to secure loans from the private sector. If the transaction goes through according to plan, the money changes hands from buyer to seller and the Bank makes a profit. If the buyer receives the goods and refuses to pay, the Bank absorbs the cost and the seller survives. In addition, the Bank runs three other programs. 1.) It can make direct loans to foreign buyers of U.S. exports. 2.) It can make loans to banks that lend to foreign buyers. 3.) It can make loan guarantees to other banks which are making working capital loans to U.S. exporters for the purposes of procuring funds for salaries, and materials, etc. Legitimate Criticism The political catcalls of corporate welfare and cronyism, while nothing more than political football and scapegoating, are not entirely without merit. To be sure, the Ex-Im Bank is infested with corruption. After all, what government agency isnt? Bigger questions, however, revolve around whether or not the Bank really exists for the purposes of promoting U.S. exports or whether it exists for the purposes of subsidizing major international corporations like Boeing. The fact is that the Export Import Bank has made a number of questionable decisions in the past regarding loans and loan guarantees. For instance, the Bank was heavily involved in making loans to projects maintained by Enron shortly before its bankruptcy. Likewise, the Ex-Im Bank has provided its fair share of loans and loan guarantees to other international companies like Boeing, General Electric, and Caterpillar. In fact, loans to large companies make up the bulk of the dollars loaned by the Bank. Indeed, the top ten percent of loan recipients made up approximately 97% of the dollar amount of loans issued by the Bank. Thus, when observing the lop-sided loans provided by the Bank, one can clearly make a case that the Bank is providing more loans and other forms of assistance to large corporations than it is to smaller ones. In addition, a case regarding the nature of those exports whether they are legitimate exports or products of the police state/war economy, might very well be presented as well. The True Role Of The Export Import Bank Yet, despite the overwhelming preference for large corporations, it should be noted that larger corporations tend to export more products than small businesses. While corporations like Boeing, GE, and others are products of the Wall Street gambling economy, police state, technological control grid, and the permanent war economy, the presence of large industry is also vital to a national economy in much the same way as small business and individual commerce. Thus, to criticize the existence of the Ex-Im Bank solely on the grounds that it provides credit to large industry is unjust. Likewise, allowing such a valuable resource to act as the benefactor solely of major corporations is also unjust. Kyle McCarthy provides an example of how the Ex-Im Bank helps American manufacturers by using GE as example. He writes, In fact, although the actual amount in dollars provided by the bank in terms of loans, loan guarantees, and the like goes to large institutions, about 90 percent of the banks customers are actually small firms. So what the bank gives up in terms of money for large firms, it makes up in terms of the quantity of smaller businesses. Indeed, the Bank is not set up solely for the benefit of these large corporations but for the benefit of the U.S. economy as a whole. As an example, in August of last year, the Ex-Im Bank was responsible for providing the necessary credit insurance for Preferred Popcorn of Nebraska, a farmer owned company with a handful of employees to sell its product to 60 different countries around the world. As a result, the company saw its sales jump and subsequently hired more workers. Kyle McCarthy writes, Aside from the aid that the Ex-Im Bank has provided to businesses such as Preferred Popcorn and the tremendous potential the Bank has in terms of the ability to aid in the jumpstarting of the economy, the fact is that much of the criticism leveled at the bank is entirely illegitimate. The idea that the bank is nothing more than a vacuum and dispensary of taxpayer money with no discernible benefit is just one such of those criticisms. First, despite being a bank, Ex-Im is nowhere near the bloated federal agency that is presented to the public by its enemies. In the entire $3.5 trillion U.S. budget, the Ex-Im Bank is a mere $90 million of total overhead. The bank does not contain an army of federal bureaucrats as it has only 400 employees within its entire structure. Whats more is that the bank does not cost the U.S. taxpayer a single cent since all of its costs are paid by fees and interest from the banks customers. In fact, in 2013, the bank turned a $1.1 billion profit which it paid into the federal Treasury. According to the Congressional Research Service, despite the worldwide economic depression, the Ex-Im Bank has been able to pay for itself since 2008. In addition, since 2006, the Bank maintains that it has had a default rate that has averaged less than 1%. As Robert J. Samuelson writes for the Washington Post, The Real Reason The Ex-Im Bank Is Being Attacked The Deindustrialization Agenda The reason behind the surge in vitriol against the Ex-Im Bank in recent years has its roots in the same agenda of deindustrialization and globalization that brought us the plethora of trade agreements from GATT and NAFTA to a series of trade agreements with China, South Korea, South America, Central America, India, Europe and virtually every country on the face of the earth (at least those countries that are not slated for American invasion). In other words, the goal is to completely deindustrialize countries in the West where workers have experienced some modicum of rights, benefits, and compensatory pay. Labor is to be moved offshore to nations where the cost of production is cheap and where the actual producers can be abused in the process. Living standards are to be drastically reduced worldwide as is the concept of scientific progress for the general public. While the world oligarchy sits atop a global economy where the high sciences are used to provide them with higher living standards, advanced healthcare, and a life of scholarship and leisure, the overwhelming majority of a vastly reduced population will exist at the bottom toiling under atrocious working conditions, low living standards, shorter life spans, and complete ignorance. In short, the ultimate goal is a scientific control grid that enforces the rules of the new world feudal system.[1] Thus, it stands to reason that, in order to de-industrialize the United States, all institutions and policies which provide some element of protectionism or dirigistic notions of the American political economy must be destroyed. Whether those institutions or policies may come in the form of a protective tariff, national control of central banking, or even the Export-Import Bank, those policies and institutions must be removed as a roadblock to the ultimate goal of de-growth and a post-industrial world.[2] It is for this reason that institutions like the Ex-Im Bank are under attack. Despite its problems, the Ex-Im Bank is, by its very nature, a dirigistic institution. It is an institution that provides a form of protectionism for American industry. Other Countries Have Their Own Versions Eliminating the American Export-Import Bank comes with another added problem the fact that the United States would once again be handicapping itself in the field of international trade and relations. Indeed, many other countries, particularly those heavily invested in trade, have their own versions of the Export-Import Bank. China, for instance, has its own version of the bank called the Export-Import Bank of the Republic of China. India also has its own Ex-Im Bank as do Australia, Russia and approximately 60 other nations. As Kyle McCarthy writes, Per the agenda of de-industrialization of the West, countries with dismal workers rights and labor conditions will continue to maintain an Export-Import Bank and some modicum of dirigism while the United States and its Western neighbors squander the good fortune they were blessed with. The United States is clearly on track to reduce living standards and economic productivity worldwide as opposed to raising these standards for all concerned. Thus, in terms of international trade, China would be pleased if the American Ex-Im Bank were to be eliminated. After all, the reduction of U.S. exports means more production for China and more potential future markets for the developing nation. The Proper Future For the Ex-Im Bank The problems experienced by the Ex-Im Bank in terms of what industries benefit the most from its services and whether or not those industries are disproportionately benefiting from Ex-Im cannot be ignored and they should not be. However, a solution to the problems of corruption in the institution that involves simply eliminating the bank is nothing more than a knee-jerk reaction. Eliminating the Bank would eliminate an important institution and tool of the U.S. Federal government to encourage and support American industry. Indeed, it is estimated that the bank supports an average of 205,000- 1.2 million American jobs as a result of its current operations. Eliminating the Bank would place a significant number of these jobs at risk. Although admittedly not as powerful as the Federal Reserve in terms of economic influence, the Bank does have an important effect on American exports, particularly on smaller firms as well as larger businesses. The idea that anyone would eliminate a profitable, dirigistic institution such as the Export-Import Bank is an exercise in foolishness at best and malevolence at worst. In reality, not only should the Export-Import Bank not be eliminated, its functions should be increased and its ability to assist American exports should be fully funded and expanded. Of course, any issues of preferential loans or loan guarantees of a corrupt nature should be investigated and dealt with. Ending the Bank, however, is simply a knee-jerk reaction that benefits no one except Wall Street bankers and the agenda of globalism. A high functioning Export-Import Bank would serve as an important tool in jumpstarting a recovery of the American productive economy. Taken in concert with the extension of 0% interest credit for purposes of infrastructure rebuilding and domestic production by a nationalized Federal Reserve and a protective tariff, the Export-Import bank could and would provide another avenue of credit, insurance, and incentive to increase American exports. The United States is well on its way to becoming another third world vassal state completely beholden to private banking institutions and international corporations where Neo-Feudalism is the order of the day. But it doesnt have to be that way. Dont do Chinas dirty work for them. Dont be duped by the propaganda of private banks, the WTO, and the IMF. Save the Export-Import Bank.

2	Charlotte Police Release Official Statement On South Carolina Shooting Liberal Media Is Suppressing Protests over a deadly officer-involved shooting in Charlotte, North Carolina took a violent turn once again this week, with police firing tear gas and demonstrators throwing objects in an attempt to destroy vehicles. Officers have been injured in the chaos. Keith Lamont Scott, a father of seven, was killed by police in an apartment complex parking lot on Tuesday while officers were looking for another man named in a warrant they were attempting to serve. The shooting sparked heated protests which have continued for days. Scotts family says he was unarmed and sitting in his car reading a book, waiting for his son to come home from school when he was shot. Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney tells a very different storyarguing that Scott exited his car with a gun, not a book. In fact, officers were unable to find a book at the scene. Its time for the voiceless majority to stand up and be heard, said the police chief, a black man. Its time to change the narrative because I can tell you from the facts that the storys a little bit different as to how its been portrayed so far, especially through social media. Putney notes that evidence and witnesses support the officers claim that Scott was armed at the time of the shooting. Though officers repeatedly told Scott to drop his handgun, he refused. Officer Brentley Vinson, also a black man, ended up shooting him. Vinson has worked for Charlotte-Mecklenburg police for two years. He was a football player at Liberty University, where he majored in criminal justice. The chief said he was unsure whether Scott pointed his gun at officers, and Vinson, who was in plain clothes, did not have a body camera. Three uninformed officers were wearing cameras at the time. The footage is under investigation now. It breaks my heart to see something like this happen, and I have a really hard time believing that Brent shot a man in his car while waiting for his (son) for no reason, a former teammate of Vinsons told reporters. Brent has always been a great guy founded on good morals. I find it very hard to believe that he would gun down an innocent man. The officer has since been placed on paid administrative leave. 
3	New York Times FAIL: McCain No Connections To ISIS?!?Brandon Turbeville From the New York Times, Rick Gladstone writes, The rumors are based partly on images of a Syrian fighter who resembles Mr. Baghdadi, seen in photographs with Mr. McCain some originally posted on Twitter by the senator during his visit in May 2013 to northern Syria. He met members of the Free Syrian Army, an insurgent group that opposes ISIS and that President Obama, in a speech Wednesday on his new strategy for battling ISIS, has vowed to strengthen. Nurtured by conspiracy blogposts, social media and photo-altering tricks, the false rumors of Mr. McCains relationship with ISIS have taken on a life of their own. While the NY Times denies the photographs showing John McCain and Baghdadi together, it freely admits that McCain met with the Free Syrian Army, itself a terrorist organization responsible for indiscriminate killings, imposition of sharia law, murders, rapes, cannibalism and more. Although Gladstone and the NY Times attempt to portray the FSA as moderate rebels, the writer and the publication should remember one of its own articles from as far back as April, 2013, written by Ben Hubbard. Hubbard wrote, Even one of the FSA commanders, Bassel Idriss, recently admitted to openly collaborating with ISIS and al-Nusra, revealing yet another example of the fact that the moderate rebels are not moderate at all. In an interview with the Daily Star of Lebanon, Idriss stated We are collaborating with the Islamic State and the Nusra Front by attacking the Syrian Armys gatherings in . . . Qalamoun . . . . Lets face it: The Nusra Front is the biggest power present right now in Qalamoun and we as FSA would collaborate on any mission they launch as long as it coincides with our values. Idriss also admitted that many FSA fighters had pledged allegiance to ISIS. He said, [ISIS] wanted to enhance its presence in the Western Qalamoun area. After the fall of Yabroud and the FSAs retreat into the hills [around Arsal], many units pledged allegiance [to ISIS]. Abu Fidaa, a retired Syrian Army Colonel who is now a part of the Revolutionary Council in the Qalamoun, corroborated Idrisss statements by saying that A very large number of FSA members [in Arsal] have joined ISIS and Nusra. In the end, people want to eat, they want to live, and the Islamic State has everything. Not only the FSA, but also the Syrian Revolutionary Front has also openly admitted to working with Nusra and al-Qaeda. The leader of the SRF, Jamaal Maarouf admitted that his brigades coordinate with Nusra and al-Qaeda regularly. Salem Idriss, one of the men seen in the photograph with John McCain, is the commander of the FSA, the opposition group touted as a moderate rebels. In reality, of course, the FSA is nothing of the sort. As Daniel Wagner wrote for the Huffington Post in December, 2012, Indeed, the FSA has also been targeting the infrastructure of the country. One of the main power plants in Damascus was knocked out for three days last week, impacting 40 percent of the citys residents. Do freedom fighters typically attack critical infrastructure that impacts ordinary citizens on a mass scale? The FSA long ago stopped targeting solely government and military targets. The FSA is no stranger to atrocities. The FSA is the moderate opposition that was filmed forcing a young child to behead a Syrian soldier. It is also the moderate opposition that maintained burial brigades, a system of mass murder and mass executions against soldiers and those who support the Syrian government. The burial brigades were only one small part of a much wider campaign of terror and executions implemented by the Free Syrian Army. Of course, the Free Syrian Army is merely the umbrella group of death squads carefully crafted to present a moderate face on what is, in reality, nothing more than savage terrorists. Thus, the FSA encompasses(d) a number of smaller brigades of al-Qaeda terrorists in order to cover up the true nature of its own ranks. One such brigade was the Farouq brigade, to which Abu Sakkar was a member. Sakkar, also seen in photographs with John McCain, was the famous rebel videotaped cutting the heart out of a Syrian soldier and biting into it. Yet, for all its noble attempts to protect McCains terrorist sympathies, the evidence the organization provides in his defense is incredibly weak. Note that the only thing the Times can produce in the way of evidence is a counter-claim that simply says the accusations are internet rumours and that the person in the picture with McCain simply looks like Baghdadi. The idea that he is Baghdadi is considered an impossibility. The only other offering in the way of McCains defense is a statement by his own Communications Director, Brian Rogers, who claims that the man in the picture was not Baghdadi but another individual associated with the Northern Storm Brigade, ironically a terrorist organization in its own right. Northern Storm was famous for kidnapping a group of religious pilgrims crossing through Syria in September, 2012. Nevertheless, the comparisons of the photographs and the individuals in them lean toward the idea that the terrorist in the picture is Baghdadi. Regardless of who it was, the individual was a terrorist since McCains defense is that it was a fighter/commander with Northern Storm. The New York Times Gladstone might also be surprised to learn that the false rumors of Mr. McCains relationship to ISIS was confirmed by none other than John McCain himself. On the Sean Hannity Show, when responding to some tepid criticism by Rand Paul regarding the methods taken to support the death squads in Syria, McCain stated, Earlier in the interview, after stating that he could personally show Obama places on the map to bomb in Syria to kill ISIS, he also stated that, in regards to the death squads, I know these people intimately. We talk to them all the time. McCains also referred back to the tired line of Syrian death squads actually being peaceful protesters fighting for freedom. So McCain has met with at least three terrorists and terrorist organizations in Syria. But these groups are by no means the end of the trail of McCains treachery or his connection to terrorism. After all, it must be remembered that McCain traveled to Libya during the assault against Ghaddafi in order to meet with terrorists in that country and promote the barbarism which they would ultimately bring. As Tony Cartalucci writes in his article, John McCain Claims Al-Qaeda Thugs Have Inspired The World, It should also be noted that McCain is extremely close to the color revolution apparatus organization, the International Republican Institute, a wing of the National Endowment for Democracy and USAID.[1] In fact, he is the current Chairman of the IRI. As it currently stands, the fact that some people are more equal than others is clearly proven in the case of John McCain. While any other American would be immediately imprisoned and possibly tortured as a result of their connections to terrorism, John McCain is rewarded with the title of U.S. Senator and the false label of war hero. While John McCain has proven his disloyalty to the United States time and time again from his scuttling of Congressional inquiries into the existence of American prisoners of war in Vietnam to the support for obvious terrorists overseas, the mainstream media has consistently given him a pass on his treasonous behavior. It is thus important for every American to know that not only is there no such thing as a moderate opposition in Syria but that John McCain is no American hero. If the Americans mentioned in the recent AP report can be investigated, tried, and convicted of providing support for terrorists operating abroad then surely John McCain has earned his day in court.

Sorry, but the old grey whore crapped her own crib one time too many in 2008. I guess I was stupid enough to forgive them about Judith Miller and the aluminum tubes, but giving Wall St. a free pass for too long was what did in their credibility for this reader and former subscriber. They will never sell another war to me again. Does anybody actually believe anything the toilet paper of record prints anyway? The New York Times is most definitely a propaganda rag. Their JOB is to frame issues favorable to certain parties. CNN is scarcely any better. When it comes to US corporate media, the evolution of ideas is being stifled by mergers and consolidations. And reporters who dont toe the line will be sent packing. But is he REALLY a traitor? Thats hard to say. If I am correct and I certainly think I have researched this matter quite thoroughly and logically then it would be extremely difficult to convict him of treason. ISIS is being supported by the West and the US public is being propagandized heavily on this topic. So, while it is unwise for McCain to have posed for such a photo-op, it doesnt rise to the level of treason. It would only rise to the level of treason if ISIS was REALLY an enemy of the USA, rather than a convenient RUSE. The so-called West doesnt trust the region with Democracy. They might use it to build a Death Star or something In fact, the main reason is because democracies tend to demand market prices for their goods and services. But propped-up dictatorships can provide goods and services to their friends at whatever price they want. And when the ultimate goal is to expropriate those natural resources, and to monetize the oil before its even pumped out of the ground in the form of futures contracts, its clear whats going on here. ISIS is controlled by Israel, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. Anyone who attempts to fight ISIS will be CALLED ISIS by the West just before the West takes them out. And the news footage will be branded with wonderful claims about how this was a successful attack on ISIS which is simply untrue. Its an attack on ISISs enemies, which are made to look like attacks on ISIS. The refinery that was destroyed was moments away from being re-taken by Assads forces. And rather than allow that, ISIS had its US air support destroy the refinery. Then there are the reports of ISIS being treated in Israeli hospitals. ISIS flags being found en masse inside Israel. ISIS in talks with Israel to give Israel the Golan Heights. And of course, the artillery support ISIS received against Assads forces early-on in the conflict. And nowISIS has planes.hahahahahaha Its laughable. This is just pretext to impose a no-fly zone onto Assad so that hes unable to use airpower against ISIS!!! Viet Cong or ISIS, whats the difference? RIGHT!!! Will he give ISIS the US and alliance pilots corridors of attack and return to base? McCain is right that unlike Paul, hes visited Syria. But that doesnt mean McCain knows whom hes meeting. I know many Syrian students and I wouldnt trust them because they are not objective. The NYTIMES LIES everyday to protect the ELITES. There is no question that John Insane Mccain tried to get Obama to arm the rebelsObama refused and McCain got that evil Prince Bandar of Saudia Arabia to do so. Its time the public realize the NYTIMES, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal are nothing but media FOR the elite, BY the eliteif you believe anything you read in any of these ragsyour nave. The control of the press over whole populations A PNAC tool of first importance. Probably a lesson learned from the Nazis. ON TOP OF NARCOTIC MAFIA ? Narcotics coming from Afghanistan? The Afghans have never produced so much of it before the entrance of the US B-52s over their country McCain has Netanyahus wee-wee implanted in his brain (actually a small ball of mush that passes for his brain). 
2	Clint Eastwood Express His Disapproval Of Obama If Clint Eastwood has proven anything during his time in Hollywood, hes shown that he is not afraid to speak the brutally honest truthno matter who it may offend. I remember three and a half years ago when Mr. Obama won the election and, no, I wasnt a big supporter, Eastwood said of the GOP Convention. I was watching that night when he was having that thing and they were talking about hope and change Yes we canit was nice, people were lighting candles, I just thought this is great. Everybodys crying, Oprah was cryingeven I was crying. I havent cried that hard since I found out there were 23 million unemployed people in this country, Eastwood continued. That is something to cry forthis administration hasnt done enough to cure that. So, Mr. Presidenthow do you handle promises that you made when youre running for election and what do you say to people? Eastwood concluded. I know people were wondering. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do we need more people like Eastwood in the public eye? 
2	Trump Makes Massive Black Friday Announcement [PLEASE READ] Yesterday, President-elect Donald Trump delivered a very important Thanksgiving message, asking for a restoration of trust between citizens. His message of unity was just short of two minutes. It is my prayer, that on this Thanksgiving, we begin to heal our divisions and move forward as one country, strengthened by a shared purpose and very, very common resolve, Trump commented. We have just finished a long and bruising political campaign. Emotions are raw and tensions just dont heal overnight. It doesnt go quickly, unfortunately, but we have before us the chance now to make history together to bring real change to Washington, real safety to our cities, and real prosperity to our communities, including our inner cities. So important to me, and so important to our country, Trump continued. But to succeed, we must enlist the effort of our entire nation. 
2	Obama Gives Terrorist Bomb Specialist A Second Chance And Then THIS Happens Obama has been on the mission for the past 7 years to close Guantanamo Bay. It wasnt until recently that he started releasing detainees like never before. Since the beginning of 2016, Obama has released 16 prisoners, and the number is climbing every week. This week Obama released 2 prisoners, and one happened to be a bomb maker specialist. He is also associated with Al Qaeda. Obama repeatedly says that these prisoners he is releasing will never make it back to combat with the U.S. However, we have seen over and over that these terrorists are rejoining terrorist groups (Ibrahim Qosi become a leader of Al Queda in Yemen). The bomber makers name is Tariq Mahmoud Ahmed al-Sawah. His release conditions, although private, are said to be very restricting on his ability to rejoin a terrorist group. I guess well just have to take Obamas word on it. Its not like hes ever lied to us before. With about 90 detainees left in Gitmo, its only a matter of time before its shut down. We need to remove Obama from the White House before he takes this any further. Do you think Obama should be arrested for treason? 
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 musical accompaniment to the kids' get-tough makeover.' Paramount also intends to use James Brown's 'I Feel Good' for the film's closing-credits sequence, moments after the lead character defeats the neighborhood bully in a climactic roller-hockey match. 
3	Fake Mobile Phone Surveillance Towers Discovered across LondonBy Michaela Whitton The sophisticated surveillance technology listens to mobile phone conversations without the owners permission by leading the handsets to believe they are genuine mobile phone towers. As with all controversial surveillance techniques, they are allegedly used by security agencies to target the communications of criminals. Like other methods of data harvesting, stingrays monitor thousands of phones at a time and sweep information from all devices in the targeted area yes, that means yours. VICE News went further than Sky, with an in-depth investigation that revealed evidence of Stingrays being employed at several locations in the British capital. Areas in the surveillance dragnet included the U.K. parliament, a peaceful anti-austerity protest, and the Ecuadorian embassy home of WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange. Due to the U.K.s legal policy of refusing to discuss IMSI catchers on national security grounds, the VICE report was unable to determine whether the signals it detected in London belonged to state apparatus. Investigators asked the House of Commons whether phone signal boosters exist at the location and were told by a press officer that there are none. Further Freedom of Information (FOI) requests were rejected on the grounds that disclosure of the information would be likely to prejudice the prevention and detection of crime. Another example of the U.K. authorities blatant refusal to confirm or deny their use of Stingrays came last June from Metropolitan Police Force commissioner, Bernard Hogan-Howe. He told Sky News: Were not going to talk about it, because the only people who benefit are the other side, and I see no reason in giving away that sort of thing. Advocacy group Privacy International has accused the U.K. of being dangerously behind the international curve in its response to IMSI catchers.

2	BREAKING: GOP Introduces Legislation To Send Military To Protect The Border Well it appears that the GOP is stepping up to take action on the border crisis where Obama will not. According to recent reports, Republicans connected to John Boehner are aiming to introduce legislation that calls for our military to guard the southern border. Congress is expected to be presented with the proposition by August. Breitbart reported that a group of lawmakers were working to amend a 2008 law requiring a deportation process, bringing in temporary judges to reduce a legal backlog and new border security measures to the GOP version of an emergency spending bill. Weve got border patrol people trying to do a good job but theyre so overwhelmed by the number of people coming across that theyre taking care of children and filling out forms, and so we need National Guard to add more bodies to whats happening at the border, Representative Kay Grander said told Breitbart. What do you think about the efforts from the GOP? Are they enough? 
3	New Govt Report: Obamacare to Cost 2 Million Jobs by 2017Melissa Melton The CBO said it wouldnt be because of jobs lost per se, but lost hours adding up to the equivalent of that many jobs gone by then. The figure rises another half a million in lost jobs by 2024. This estimate is three times larger than the CBOs previous estimate back in 2010 after the bill was first introduced. Worse White House Press Secretary Jay Carney tried to spin this new determination in a response by saying things like, At the beginning of this year, we noted that as part of this new day in health care, Americans would no longer be trapped in a job just to provide coverage for their families, and would have the opportunity to pursue their dreams. So Obamacare will afford people the opportunity to pursue their dreams of not being trapped in a job? Right now, more people are dreaming of having a job, period. A fry cook recently confronted Obama over his hours being cut to part-time due to Obamacare; We cant survive, its not livin, the man told the president. Obama did not respond to the comments regarding his healthcare law, but instead replied that hes encouraging states to raise minimum wage. In addition, due to Obamacares structure, people arent exactly inspired to run out and get good-paying, full-time jobs: CBO explained that the Affordable Care Acts subsidy structure subsidies fall as income rises makes work less attractive. Further, some people who earn right around 400% of the poverty level the cutoff for subsidies will have an incentive to earn less. This will be especially true for older workers who will pay up to three times as much as young workers for similar coverage via the ObamaCare exchanges. In other words: The new subsidized insurance exchanges will allow low-income workers to work less while maintaining the same effective income: what economists call the income effect. In addition, because the subsidies decline on a sliding scale as you make more money, that sliding scale means that as workers work more, they make less per hour worked: what economists call the substitution effect. A recent report released by the Corporation for Enterprise Development concluded that almost half of Americans are already living paycheck-to-paycheck. Currently more than half of the states in this country are suffering long-term unemployment, where at least a third or more of the people without jobs havent had one in at least six months. Last Junes jobs report revealed that less than half only 47% of Americans even have a full-time job anymore. On top of all that, Investors Business Daily reports that a pattern has been set in motion which will dry up the Social Security trust fund by 2030: The outlook for less work than expected from modest earners and a greater share of earnings going to those with high incomes looks particularly troubling for the future of Social Security. The retirement programs annual cash deficits will spiral to $313 billion by 2024 from $68 billion in 2013, CBO said. The deteriorating outlook will shrink the trust fund to $2.3 trillion in 2023 vs. the $2.5 trillion seen a year ago, an IBD analysis finds. That likely puts the trust fund on course to run dry in 2030, a year earlier than CBO projected in 2013. (Guess its called a trust fund because you have to trust if you pay money into it, the funds will still be there later) By the way, the government has already announced it is not going to verify annual household income attestations given when signing up for Obamacare until 2015; as Forbes points out, The Obama administration is laser-focused on making sure that enough Americans enroll onto Obamacare-subsidized health insurance platforms, because if they do, it will be politically impossible for Republicans to repeal Obamacare in the future. Further deliberately encouraging tens of billions of dollars of waste, fraud, and abuse in order to achieve a political objective is profoundly immoral. Perhaps that explains Jay Carneys attempt to make two million lost jobs in three years sound just swell for a country with an unemployment crisis whereinmost industries have twice as many people searching for a job than available jobs. 
2	Liberals Attack Sadie Robertson After She Makes THIS Huge Admission Liberals have always criticized Sadie Robertson for speaking publicly about her faith and religion. She stands out as a positive role model for young American women in a time where there are not many to look up to. Americas beloved daughter recently admitted that she nearly did not join the hit TV show Dancing With The Stars, on which she finished in an amazing second-place, despite not knowing how to dance when she started. It was not until her younger sister encouraged her to face her fears that she decided to join the show and show America what shes made of. Do you stand behind Sadie? Are you proud of her courage? 
2	BREAKING: Obama Makes Disturbing Announcement About New World Order [VIDEO] Nothing says, weakness like the current leader of your country telling other world leaders that America has fallen short of your expectationsbut that is exactly what President Barack Obama decided to do while speaking in Peru on Sunday. During his speech, Obama admitted we have fallen short of our ideals of democracy, rule of law, a free press, an independent judiciary, free markets, and a social welfare system to help the disadvantaged. Wed be hard-pressed to add anything to that extensive list. I think the main reflection I have and the main advice that I give to the incoming president is, the United States really is an indispensable nation in our world order, Obama began. I say that as somebody who has gone out of his way to express respect for every country and its people and to consistently acknowledge that many of the challenges we face are not challenges that America can solve on our own, he continued. But what I also know is that the basic framework of the world order coming out of World War II and then on through the end of the Cold War, was shaped by a set of ideals and principles that have worked for the vast majority of people, not just in America but around the world. The nation of democracy. And rule of law. And free press. And independent judiciary. And open markets. And a social welfare state to moderate some of the sharp edges of capitalism. And you know, lifting up issues of human rights and investing in public health and development, not just in our own borders, but elsewhere in the world. And working with multilateral institutions, like the United States, making sure were upholding international norms and rules. Thats what has made the modern world, he concluded. And there have been times when we have not observed some of the norms as well as we should and have been accused of hypocrisy here in Latin America. There have been times when countries have felt disrespected and on occasion have had cause for that. And there were times when we havent observed the values in our own country and have fallen short of our ideals, but that basic structure is the reason why the world is much wealthier, much more secureand yes, less violent, healthier, and better educated, more tolerant than 50 years ago. That requires constant work. It doesnt just happen on its own. Just one day before this speech, Obama also accused America of having sexist banking rules, claiming that women were forced to have men co-sign loan applications until 1996 due to old stereotypes. He also argued, that kind of mentality of discrimination still exists. What do you think of Obamas comments? Are you tired of watching him disrespect this country?

3	American Police Saving Peace For A Rainy DayOwen Myles, Contributor Occasions like the one in thevideo below are not nearly as rare as you might think. For many (obviously not all) officers, the only thing discouraging such behavior is the chance of getting caught, which is, you could say, nothing to gamble on. Consider these headlines too: Houston Cop Arrested For Handcuffing and Raping Woman After Traffic Stop Such occasions, are far more common than Big Media will reveal; Big Media prefers to cover isolated events. So heres a long compilation I found (while reading comments on inforwars) of more grotesque police behavior, with some astonishing reports [1]: Odd how such behavior so rarely gets much attention, all whilst the DHS and FBI are blabbering maudlin hysteria about domestic extremists and cyber phantoms as they themselves and the CIA covertly import narcotics and export weapons to terrorists. Even more odd that our trusty NSA is likely intricately aware of some very fine details that they and only they have access to, yet things generally continue to spiral downward. And then they beg for even more power! But dont worry, as the police have illustrated, were in good hands, or cuffs. Right? There is essentially one thing that keeps their boots from your face, and it aint luck or your looks, but money. But even money is a scarce buffer between you and the boot. Unemployment is on the rise, in a way which weve only seen the very beginning of. Rough times are on the way. We desperately need a more positive infrastructure in this country and we arent quite there yet and it wont be acquired or given by the government. Were on our own, were in bad shape, and were smoking hope. I recommend either investing in the prison industry, purchasing yourself some solid Crime-Futures, or alternatively and preferably, investing in your fellow citizen and our society while they remain. But be FOREWARNED; it will not be easy. Also, dont get too cozy and begin mistaking your home for your castle; its not, and if they suspect youre sporting herbs or some other pastime with no victims, they might just waltz in and shoot you 16 times, or make you the victim somehow: Or, as appears highly probable from the videos below, they might just shoot your dog/s for fun, instead: or: Dog 1 or: Dog 2 or: Dog 3 or: Dog 4 or: Dog 5 (A 5lbs chihuahua) or: Dog 6 or: Dog 7 or: Dog 8 or: Dog 9 or: Dog 10 Considering that shooting a police-dog is legally murder, there seems something slightly unfair about the horrid stories above. But I digress into the utterly obvious. Submit and Obey; Youre in good hands. Note: [1] The Boiling Frogs reference in the second video, Im quite certain has nothing to do with boilingfrogspost.com 
2	Watch What Happens Right After Michelle Obama Runs Her Big Mouth At Trump In the days before the presidential election, Barack and Michelle Obama stood firmly behind Hillary Clinton. Its clear they were confident that she would win the presidency and continue to push Obamas agenda forward. So its no surprise that since Trump officially became our nations president-elect, Michelle has been completely silent. This week, she broke her silence when she sat down with People Magazine to talk about election night and how she is handling Trumps win. I went to bed, Michelle said. I dont like to watch the political discourse; I never have. I barely did with him. Before the election, Michelle went on the campaign trail with Clinton to urge America to vote for her. During her speeches, she repeatedly talked about the dangers of electing Trump. Anything that I felt about the election I said and I stand by, Michelle told people. Once you do what you can do, then the rest is easy. It was in the hands of the American people. Michelles comments are extraordinarily disrespectful, but shes right about one thing: Trump will be the president, whether she likes it or not. America has spoken loud and clear: they dont care what Michelle thinks.

After Eric mentioned something about how the price of gas is starting to rise again, I asked him if itll keep going up, and then our friend Luke asked him a completely different question about why its cheaper in certain places, and he was able to answer both just like that, said friend Alex Tischer, who reportedly marveled as Bridges gave an all-knowing, 15-second description of what OPEC is and does. He didnt even pause to think; as soon as we finished asking, he jumped right in with a response. Im telling you, the guy really knows his stuff. At press time, Bridges reportedly blew the groups mind by asking if they wanted to know anything else.

With all of the violence and chaos in our country and the world, you would think that Michelle Obama would use her influence to help solve problems. You would think she would be too busy to make meaningless appearances on Hollywood TV shows. You would think that, but youd be wrong Apparently, Michelle thinks that she should spend her time appearing on a segment of Carpool Karaoke on The Late Late Show With James Corden this week. Michelle decided to show her respect to fallen officers by singing and dancing with rapper Missy Elliot for a solid 15 minutes. What do you think? Are ready for the Obamas to be out of the White House for good

1	Disappointed after realizing the high-budget biblical epic was no longer playing at his local cinema, area man Will Johnson lamented to reporters Monday that he had totally blown his chance to see Exodus: Gods And Kings in theaters. Dammit, I shouldve just gone last weekend when I had the time, but I was too busy rewatching [The Hobbit:] The Battle Of The Five Armies, said the regretful man, who, in an admittedly egregious and inexcusable oversight, spurned opportunity after opportunity to see the special-effects-heavy Ridley Scott blockbuster during its nationwide theatrical run. Sure, itll eventually come out on Netflix and iTunes, but seeing it on some dinky TV isnt the same as experiencing the rush of watching Christian Bale take on the pharaoh with 200 other people. That only happens once, and I blew it. Johnson added that, though it will in no way rectify the error, he hopes hell get a second chance to see the film on the big screen during the Exodus: Gods And Kings 10th or 20th anniversary rerelease. 
2	Robber Jeremy Lynd Tasers Man At ATM Machine, Then Is Shot By Concealed Carrier A sanitation worker was taking out money at an ATM machine in Fresno, California, when a man came up behind him, later identified as Jeremy Lynd, 32. It sure is cold out here, Jeremy said before shocking him with a stun gun from behind. The sanitation worker retreated to his car, where he retrieved his gun, and told Lynd to get on the ground. Jeremys accomplice, Bobbie-Sue Sevier, drove by and Lynd ran to the car. And he did. She was driving out ended up striking the victims vehicle while he was in it. At that point, he feared he was going to be struck by the vehicle, maneuvered his way around, and fired several rounds into the suspect vehicle, said Police Chief Jerry Dyer. One of those rounds penetrated the car struck the female in the leg. Later on that day, both suspects were apprehended. If it werent for this mans concealed carry permit, these two criminals would most likely still be on their robbing spree. Do you support the full use of the Second Amendment?

2	Philadelphia Eagles Get Horrible News When After Deciding To Join Colin Kaepernick This month, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has dominated headlines for refusing to stand for the national anthem before a game. Kaepernicks actions were quick to spark outrage, with many fans burning his jersey. But he has also gained the support of several football players and teams. The most recent team to join the protest is the Philadelphia Eagles, who intended to kneel during the nation anthem on Monday Night Football. Everybody wants to be a part of it and I feel like its no different on our team, Malcolm Jenkins, an Eagles safety, told a local radio station. We got guys, especially myself, who feel very strongly about the topic. Last week, we talked about doing some stuff, but we wanted to make sure we didnt do anything to take away from the folks, the families, that suffered from 9/11. We didnt want to mess with that day, so we left last week alone. But moving forward, Im sure there will be guys that will probably join in. Jenkins then went on to describe why he has decided to participate. For me, it has nothing to do with this country or the flag or the anthem in itself, Jenkins commented. Really, its just to continue to push for the conversation about social injustice. And thats a range of things from police brutality to wages and job opportunities to education. Its just a lot of thing systematically that have been set up in this country, since its inception, that really puts minorities, especially African-Americans, at a disadvantage, when youre talking about quality of life and actually growing in this country. Jenkins also added that Eagles players are hoping to keep that conversation going and push it to as many people as we can. I think every player has an opinion and definitely wants to share, use their stage to do better, he concluded. What do you think of Jenkins comments? Are you disappointed in the Eagles?

Your Twitter account has several disparaging comments about womens looks, Kelly told Trump when discussing Clintons accusations that he is part of the war on women. You once told a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees. Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president? Now, Roderick has come forward to defend the presidential hopeful. Ive always had a positive experience around Donald, Roderick commented during an event of MSNBC. Hes always been encouraging. Hes never been disrespectful to meI dont condone men being derogatory, but I think hes just on television. Hes trying to be funny. He didnt mean anything horrible by it. Of course, now the public is attacking Roderick for standing up for what she believes. 
2	Man At Airport Jumps On Woman During Shooting, Utters 4 Unbelievable Words In a remarkable display of heroism, a New York man who found himself in the middle of the shooting at the Fort Lauderdale airport on Friday stepped in to protect a woman from gunfire. Tony Bartosiewicz, 70, just happened to be standing near Annika Dean, a Florida school teacher, when the shooting began. Dean, who said the gunman closed in on her, instinctively got on the ground for cover. Thats when Bartosiewicz covered her for protection. He basically climbed on top of me and whispered, I will protect you, Dean said, according to the Florida Sun-Sentinel. I knew he might be a victim, but I also knew I would survive. The 42-year-old mother of two was waiting for her luggage when she heard the shots. There was no way I could have escaped, she recalled. I would have been right in his path if I had tried to evacuate through the doors. Dean said that after the police arrived and it was clear the gunman was detained, she and Bartosiewicz were both unharmed. I thanked him throughout the day and told him he was a hero, Dean concluded. What do you think? Do you applaud this mans bravery and selflessness?

3	Big Ag Mega Farm Threatens Pristine South Carolina RiverBy Joe Wright Whether its the health effects of production and run-off from Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (as well as associated conditions of animal cruelty), the deadly introduction of GMOs and associated toxins, harassment of family farms, or Big Ags undeniable control over regulatory agencies like the EPA, FDA and USDA, there might be no greater threat than that of poisoning our dwindling fresh water supply. The sickness of factory farmingliterally knows no bounds, and the corporate interests that are at the helm are practicing what former economic hitman John Perkins calls a death economy. A current battle taking place along a small pristine river in South Carolina further illustrates this point. A microcosm of the overall threat to fresh water is currently being documented by long-time South Fork resident Doug Busbee who has intimate knowledge of what is at stake if a planned factory potato farm takes root in Aiken County it will be South Carolinas largest, and will require 9.6 billion gallons of water annually to irrigate. Below is the before view of this scenic, tranquil river, which also houses various delicate species. For those who may not appreciate the wildlife aspect, the points made in the second video speak directly to the disparity between what the public and ordinary businesses are allowed to do vs. the ease with which Big Ag can just march in and start leveling a place. As Busbee says, One chicken house requires public notification However, asThe State reports: Unlike other businesses, farm corporations can siphon huge quantities from rivers without telling the public. And while the state will review plans to take water for farming, the law doesnt allow the public an opportunity to challenge the work before the Department of Health and Environmental Control board, the agency says. In contrast, other businesses that want to begin withdrawing large quantities for the first time will need permits that require public notice and a full review. In both cases, the law does not apply to anyone withdrawing under 3 million gallons per month. Here we can see crews clearing the area as they begin construction: And here we see an aerial view of the size of the farm which spans an estimated thousands of football fields (3,700 acres) and the pressure it will no doubt exert upon this relatively small and fragile ecosystem. Again, for those who are not concerned about the environmental and health impacts to the non-human, concern should then be focused on the potential for contamination of the drinking supply. Comments from two other locals one self-described as not being a tree-hugger illustrate practical concerns, as well as a healthy attention to self-preservation: George Young, a 56-year-old Edisto basin landowner who accompanied Busbee down the South Fork last week, said he recently wrote Gov. Nikki Haley asking for help to stop the potato farms water withdrawals. His letter . . . said smaller agricultural withdrawals already are affecting the South Fork. So he questions how further withdrawals from a mega farm will affect wildlife and fish. Consistent water levels, for instance, help certain species of fish to spawn. Young, like others, also is concerned about possible fertilizer and pesticide runoff to the river. Wagener resident Murphy Lybrand, 48, echoed the sentiments of many neighbors. Im not against agriculture, but Im against sucking the river dry, Lybrand said with a grim smile. But, once again, government regulatory agencies in charge of protecting land and health are welcoming Big Ag with open arms, typically for the stated reason of enhancing the overall economy. Although, in this case, it has been admitted that not many new jobs will be provided and that most of the benefit will come from the local purchase of supplies and fertilizer. However, also typical is a lack of transparency and independent studies that could properly evaluate the project and inform the public accordingly: DHEC insists the potato farm wont hurt the river. The company said it followed the 2010 water law when it approved the mega potato farms license last spring. DHEC conducted an in-house study, as required, that found the South Fork of the Edisto has plenty of water to accommodate Walther Farms withdrawals, records show. The agency is currently assessing a second proposed withdrawal of about 3 billion gallons per year from the South Fork at an approximately 1,500-acresite in nearby Barnwell County. As with the first withdrawal request, the public wasnt notified of the plan. How many times have we heard assurances from government studies that turned out later to be exactly the opposite? The public is rightfully skeptical, if not outright angry, as are environmental activists. A lawsuit is likely forthcoming. And, funnily enough, Walther Farm is moving into this area of the southeast from the west due to what they say is a depletion of the aquifers by farmers. With the lack of proper oversight and a precedent being set along the Edisto, the death economy continues its march into South Carolina in search of abundance . . . Frito Lay should be pleased. Fresh clean water is essential to life. It seems that a resource so vital should not be corralled, controlled, or corrupted by any corporation or government. However,fresh water supplies are under assault. The powerful filmTroubled Waters:A Mississippi River Storydocuments the connection between local abuses and the cascading effects that have lead to dead zones from the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. Its an extreme example of the widespread threat we face.

'Four years of busting his ass in sales and not even a cost-of-living increase?' said IRS agent Trevor Khan, adding that things must be doubly tough for Eutsey now that he is claiming a child as a dependent. 'Steven really needs to talk to Mitch in H.R. and make them understand just how valuable he is to the company. There's no reason he should be making less than Adam [Zelevsky], who's only been there half as long and, between you and me, files late every year.' Khan later told reporters that the fact that Eutsey is struggling financially will make it even harder for the IRS to conduct its upcoming audit on him.

It appears, however, that he did not learn his lesson. Once again, Sharpton is involving himself in the Baltimore riots, and attempting to paint himself as a hero. In fact, Sharpton has just compared himself to Martin Luther King, Jr., claiming that youth were violent during the civil rights era as well. He received immediate backlash from Dr. Alveda King, MLK Jr.s niece. Im astounded, because when Reverend Sharpton says you need to do researchresearch will show that my unclewho actually came from a background where it would have been easy for him to be violentthey were trained in non-violence, conflict resolution King told Fox News.

3	Hypocrisy Not Democracy in AmericaStephen Lendman, Contributor Are you better off than four years ago, asked The New York Times? There is really no reason for any hesitancy. The country is unquestionably better off than it was in 2008. Fact check True to form, The Times offered a litany of lies. Bankers, other corporate favorites, and war profiteers fared handsomely. They still do. Americas 99% got stiff-armed. Most US households were thrown under the bus. Virtually no jobs were created. Full-time/good pay and benefit ones are disappearing. Real unemployment approaches 23%. In the Great Depression, it reached 25%. Serious efforts were made then to reduce it. Virtually nothing is done now. US Census figures confirm half or more of US households living in poverty or bordering on it. Record numbers need food stamps to survive. Congress plans cuts when theyre more than ever needed. Duplicitous political convention rhetoric was enough to make a brash brigand blush. Banality took center stage. Demagogic deception hid reactionary extremism. Convention delegates and ordinary people inhabit worlds apart. Pre-scripted yammering was predictable. Republicans showed contempt for human needs. Phony populism hid a similar Democrat agenda. Privilege alone matters. Ordinary folks increasingly are on their own to sink or swim. Obamas first term reflected it. Betrayal and failure defined it. Another four years assures more of the same and then some. The man promising hope and change broke every major pledge made. Four demagogic years did Lincoln one better. He fooled most people enough to matter. Hes beholden to big money. He never cared about ordinary people and doesnt now. Yes we can conceals his dark side. No pun intended. Hes a consummate con man. Its easy to know when hes lying, just watch his lips move. Throughout his political career, hes been pro-corporate, pro-war, pro-Israel, anti-populist, anti-civil and human rights, and anti all values real democrats support. He put Wall Street crooks in charge of looting the nations wealth. He furthered the greatest wealth transfer in history. Rules, regulations, legal restraints with teeth, and taxes were slashed to help them. Plans are on track to make America resemble Guatemala. Full-time/high pay/good benefit jobs are disappearing. So are social services. Theyre on the chopping block for elimination. The nations middle class is targeted for destruction. A huge underclass is replacing it. Americas more than ever militarized to control it. Police state laws threaten freedom. Big Brother spying is policy. Privacy is a figure of speech. First Amendment rights and dissent are endangered. Tyranny, torture, corporate empowerment, and permanent wars define Obamas agenda. He exceeded the worst of George Bushs harshness, lawlessness, and belligerency. Imagine what he plans if reelected. He waged war on Islam, Latino immigrants, animal and environmental rights activists, whistleblowers, people of color, the poor, anyone challenging state power, and civil rights lawyers who defend them too vigorously. In Obamas America, only the privileged matter. Growing numbers of others are on their own hungry, homeless, and jobless. He looted the nations wealth, wrecked the economy, ravaged one nation after another, and continues waging war on humanity. He executed two Latin American coups. Honduras democratically elected president was ousted. So was Paraguays. He militarized Haiti, opened the country for business, occupied it for plunder, rigged its election, installed a pro-Western stooge, and increased the growing burden of impoverished Haitians who deserve better. He supports the worlds worst despots. He sucks up shamelessly to Israel. He spurns long denied Palestinian rights. He plans war on Syria and Iran. Neither nation threatens anyone. America and Israel menace humanity. He presides over a bogus democracy under a repressive police state apparatus. Habeas rights, due process, judicial fairness, and other civil liberty protections are quaint artifacts increasingly discarded. Torture is official policy. So is Murder, Inc. Death squads operate in over 120 countries. Special forces and CIA operatives are licensed to kill. US citizens may be targeted at home or abroad. No one anywhere is safe. Summary judgment means no arrests. No Miranda rights. No due process. No trial. Just a bullet, bomb or slit throat. Its official Obama policy. Diktat authority affords justice to no one ordered killed. It also lets Obama order US citizens arrested and indefinitely held without charge or trial. No proof is needed, just suspicions that those detained pose threats. Constitutional protections no longer apply. US military personnel may arrest and indefinitely detain anyone globally. No one anywhere is safe. Tyranny is policy. Obama seized virtual dictatorial powers. Anyone designated a potential enemy of the state, true or false, is targeted. Political prisoners fill Americas gulag. Its the worlds largest by far and one of the worst. Muslims and people of color are most at risk. Americas super-rich and corporate crooks are free to do what they please. Bad as things are now, expect worse. War rages against labor. Budget-strapped states get little help. Welfare is being cut. So are Medicare for seniors, Medicaid for the needy, and other New Deal/Great Society programs. Public education is being commodified. Plans call for making it another business profit center and ending governments responsibility. Health care is being rationed. Only those who can afford it will get help when they need it. Food and drug safety dont matter. Nor do clean clean air or water. Small farms and businesses are being destroyed. Large ones are bigger and more dominant than ever. Wall Street ones are up to one-fourth larger today than four years ago. Theyre double their size a decade ago relative to the economy. Ordinary Americans are much poorer and more deprived. Financial reform was fraudulent. Institutionalized grand theft is policy. Business as usual lets Wall Street run the country. Consumer protections dont exist. The worst of bad practices continue. Rules either dont exist or are made to be broken. Bankers get what they want. Ordinary people get scammed. Obama promised change you can believe in. He delivered betrayal instead. Hes anti-progressive, hard-right, reactionary, belligerent, pro-corporate, and anti-populist. Hes heartless, merciless, morally corrupt, and soulless. Austerity is policy when help is needed. Draconian cuts were enacted. Many more are planned. Eliminating trillions of dollars in social service spending is policy. Democrats are in lock step with Republicans. Corporate handouts, tax cuts for the rich, and Pentagon spending remain virtually untouched. Bad as things are now, imagine America in four years under either party. Obama plans more of the same and then some. Romney is a religious extremist/corporate crook/socially destructive/imperial rogue. Theyre frontmen for financialized America, super-rich privilege, and imperial lawlessness. They guarantee worse wide awake nightmares than Obama. Americas choice in November is none. Bad as things are now expect worse. Bipartisan complicity assures it.

2	Ariana Grande Says I Hate America Then Something AMAZING Happens Pop star Ariana Grande is facing serious backlash after a video of her announcing that she hates America went viral thanks to TMZ. The video shows Grande licking an entire tray of donuts in a donut shop while the employees arent looking. When more donuts are brought out, Grande clearly says, I hate Americans. I hate America. The donut shop released their security footage to TMZ, and the video quickly went viral. As a result, she lost her appearance at the Major League Baseball July 11 concert in Cincinnati. She will now be replaced by rival Demi Lovato. What I said in a private moment was taken out of context and I am sorry for not using more discretion with my choice of words, Grande said in a statement. She went on to claim that her comments were actually about how freely we as Americans eat and consume things without giving any thought to the consequences. What do you think of Grandes comments? Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
3	The Case For The 1% Wall Street Sales TaxBrandon Turbeville Unfortunately, by applying terminology to the latest crisis in Congress such as the Debt Ceiling, Fiscal Cliff, and now the Sequester, the mainstream media, along with the relevant government agents, major banks, and corporations, are able to hype the population into a state of hysteria and fear (for those that actually pay attention to anything other than the latest television show) so that the general public will be thoroughly convinced that the only way to avoid imminent disaster is to reach a compromise in the form of cuts, firings, and a general reduction of standards of living. In reality, the creatively-named Sequester is nothing more than semantic jargon devised for purposes of the implementation of austerity measures against the American people. It is quite clear that, although the Sequester itself exempts many social safety net programs in terms of its automatic spending cuts pending a failure of Congress to reach an agreement, the social safety net is very much on the table in the course of those discussions. While not openly labeled as Austerity measures, the growing cuts to the American social safety net and U.S. critical infrastructure coupled with alarming increases in taxes for low income to upper middle income workers should leave no doubt as to what is actually taking place within the United States. Although nomenclature and terminology may be different in the public discourse, make no mistake that Americans have much more in common with the Greeks, Spanish, Irish, and other Austerity victims than they may wish to admit. Largely at the forefront of any budgetary discussion in the United States is the issue of government spending as it relates to programs such as Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, Unemployment Insurance, Food Stamps, etc. programs that have been given the politically charged name of entitlement programs in order to associate the spoiled child mentality with programs that have actually been funded by the taxes of working people during the course of an entire lifetime. From Libertarians who oppose social safety net programs on ideological grounds (as promoted by the Rockefeller family) and Conservatives who have money and expect to continue to have money (hence the lack of concern for anyone who may not enjoy their level of comfort at the moment) to Socialists who are willing to bleed the average citizen for everything he is worth (for little in return but that which government decides is appropriate) and Liberals who are willing to both fleece taxpayers and compromise the programs these taxes would allegedly go to support, it is clear that the working men and women of the United States and those who have been victimized by Wall Street parasitism and the folly of Free Trade are left completely alone and to themselves. Yet, amongst all of the reasons put forward as justification for the dismantling of the social safety net, few mention the Wall Street bailouts and the $27 trillion worth of credit extended to bankrupt institutions under the concept of too big to fail. Likewise, few tend to mention the financial costs of administering a global war OF terror on virtually every continent or the development and maintenance of a police state here at home. Neither are the consequences of prosecuting an unbelievably stupid and non-productive War on Drugs discussed when it comes to questions of what should be cut from the Federal budget. Instead, the talk immediately turns to the social safety net and the programs that are currently keeping millions of Americans alive. Yet there is a more immediate and preferable way to address the concerns regarding the social safety net than any raise in taxes on an American population that is already taxed to death or by the dismantling of the social safety net system. This new method of support for the social safety net system is as simple as the Wall Street Sales Tax, a move which would solve both the crisis of the social safety net as well as the general budgetary crisis at all levels of government in the United States of America. The Wall Street Sales Tax should be applied at the rate of 1% to financial market transactions such as stocks, bonds, flash trading, e-trading, high-frequency trading, debt instruments, and the notional value of derivatives. A reasonable exemption of $1 million per person per year should be enacted in order to prevent the placement of taxes on individuals who shift around personal financial assets or make investments for their 401(k) or other retirement account. The 1% tax should be paid by the seller of the instrument, not the buyer, and the proceeds accrued from the tax should be split evenly between the Federal government and the States. The following is a brief explanation of how this program would achieve such a lofty goal and how it should be implemented in order to achieve maximum effect. In short, it is the argument for the creation and implementation of the Wall Street Sales Tax. The Case for the Wall Street Sales Tax Wall Street banks are, by definition, corporations. However, like most major corporations that are supposed to pay a 35% tax on their profits, Wall Street banks pay almost none of the Corporate Income Tax. That is, many of them pay nothing at all. For instance, according to statistics procured by Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Citizens for Tax Justice, Goldman Sachs, one of the most infamous zombie institutions, only paid 1.1% tax on its total profits in 2008, the year of the worldwide derivatives crisis. Although Goldman Sachs actually earned a profit of $2.3 billion that year, it also received a $278 million tax refund from the IRS. As Webster Griffin Tarpley points out, This scandalous situation did not prevent Lloyd Blankfein, Goldmans boss, from appearing on CBS television to demand draconian cuts in the meager entitlement payments received by the poor, the sick, and the old. In 2010, Bank of America (BoA)also paid no Corporate Income Tax even though it had earned profits of $4.4 billion. Yet it also received a tax refund from the IRS. In BoAs case, however, the refund was to the sum of $1.9 billion. It should also be pointed out that BoA received over $45 billion from the U.S. Treasury and $1.3 trillion in zero interest credit from the Federal Reserve during the financial crisis of 2008. BoA was able to repeat their tax dodge again in 2011. Likewise, Citigroup paid 0% Corporate Income Tax on $4 billion profits while Wells Fargo paid nothing for at least the years 2008, 2009, and 2010. Tarpley writes, All of this open tax evasion is, of course, contrasted by the meticulous methodology used to fleece the average American taxpayer for every single cent possible. However, aside from the obvious personal income/corporate income discrepancy, Wall Street banks also pay no sales tax on their immense number of transactions that occur in the form of derivatives, stocks, bonds, debt instruments, and other so-called financial products. This, of course, is in direct contrast to the fact that individual Americans pay anywhere from 6% to 12% on transactions involving a variety of goods ranging from entertainment to necessity, even groceries in some areas, depending on the state. As Tarpley writes in this regard, Obviously, when the suggestion is made regarding the implementation of a tax on such a wide variety of financial instruments and such a powerful cartel of corporate and banking interests, the next logical question turns toward the possibility and method of successful implementation. Thus, it is important to note that between the years of 1914 and 1966, the U.S. Federal government did successfully implement a financial transaction tax of between 0.04% (0.0004) and 0.1% (0.001). Although the amount of tax percentage is much smaller than the 1% being discussed in this article, the ability of the Federal government to operate and maintain such a tax is clearly demonstrated. Indeed, current tax policy shows that the U.S. Federal government is still capable of maintaining a tax on financial transactions as the Section 31 fee, a minute tax of 0.0034% on stock transactions is used to fund the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In 1998, this amazingly small tax brought in $1.8 billion to fund the SEC. New York State even has a very small financial transaction tax on their law books that brings in close to $25 billion per year according to some estimates but, ever since the 1970s, all of the money earned by this tax is given straight back to the Wall Street bankers due to threats made by financial institutions that they will move their operations to another state in order to avoid the tax. It should be pointed out, of course, that a nationwide Federal tax would effectively neutralize any threats by financial institutions to move outside of New York or any other state in order to negotiate lower or no taxation. Another important point is that, for the most part, financial instruments such as stocks, bonds, futures, options, and indices (and virtually all of their other various incarnations and combinations) are traded through public exchanges. Thus, they can easily be tracked for the purposes of taxation. Yet, as Webster Tarpley points out, the real mother lode of transactions is to be found in the area of derivatives. Unfortunately, because the main applicable legislation in regards to over-the-counter derivatives, the Dodd-Frank Bill, fails to force the institutions and individuals engaging in such trades to report them, it is somewhat harder to determine the actual amount of these instruments. This is also partly because over-the-counter derivatives take the form of private contracts between counterparties. According to Webster Tarpleys estimates, world derivatives currently stand in excess of two quadrillion dollars in notional value. Other estimates put the notional value of derivatives in the range of six to seven quadrillion dollars due to the fact that these derivatives are constantly being bought and sold. Thus, the revenue that would be generated from a 1% Wall Street Sales Tax could be expected to reach a figure of approximately tens of trillions of dollars. Of course, any new form of taxation on the trading of financial products would more likely than not cause the amount of trading currently taking place to go down )with some possibly ceasing altogether). Even in this event, it is reasonable to assume that the Wall Street Sales Tax would still provide several trillion dollars in tax revenue. 2.) The Wall Street Sales Tax Discourages Dangerous Forms of Speculation As mentioned above, the implementation of a 1% Wall Street Sales Tax would naturally cause the amount of trading of the affected financial instruments to go down. It is even possible that the trading of some exotic forms of these instruments may cease altogether. But, while this may seem to present a problem in terms of reduced tax revenue, this should largely be the only concern. Even so, as mentioned previously, the expected revenue of the 1% Wall Street Sales Tax is still in the figure of several trillion dollars. Still, it is fundamentally important to understand that the reduction in derivatives trading, computer-based transactions, and speculation is by no means a negative development. After all, it was derivatives that were responsible for the 2008 financial crisis that has spread and continues to spread concurrently across the entire globe. Financial speculation has been responsible for the rise in consumer prices in staple goods and as well as those goods that have become virtual necessities in todays society. In addition, debt instruments have been instrumental in attacking the currency and economic stature of sovereign nations.[1] Thus, if the trends of speculation, derivatives trading, computerized transactions, and debt instruments are reduced or even eliminated, one would be hard-pressed to provide a clear and convincing argument outside of the most militant ideology that could justify their return. Even in the unlikely event that projected tax revenue does not reach the levels estimated in this article and by economists such as Webster Tarpley, the reduction in the financial instruments listed above should itself be considered a positive outcome. As Tarpley writes, A society which taxes the sales of industrial manufacturing and agricultural products, but which establishes a tax exemption for speculation, derivatives, and financial services has tilted the playing field in favor of a parasitical casino economy of the type which has historically led to widespread immiseration and recurring financial panics. 3.) The 1% Wall Street Sales Tax Is Completely Constitutional Acknowledging the many legitimate issues taken with the Income Tax by individuals across the political spectrum, the fact is that the Constitutional question of taxation is not applicable to the 1% Wall Street Sales Tax. Although the 16th Amendment clearly allows for the collection of an income tax, there does exist some controversy as to whether or not the individual is required to pay this tax by law. Setting that issue aside, however, there is no controversy surrounding the Constitutional applications of the various Sales Taxes currently in effect. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution clearly enumerates the ability of Congress to impose such taxes. It states, The Congress shall have Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States. Thus, the 1% Wall Street Sales Tax exists well within Constitutional boundaries. Any challenges to the 1% Wall Street Sales Tax would effectively seal their own fate before getting off the ground due to hundreds of years of legal precedent and clearly defined (in this regard) cases of imposed taxation. In the case of the 1% Wall Street Sales Tax, there is no legitimate Constitutional or legal argument against its implementation. Any individual that argues against the implementation of the 1% Wall Street Sales Tax, without subsequently arguing for the removal of all forms of taxation, is essentially lobbying for a double standard between individual citizen laborers and Wall Street Parasites. To agitate against the Wall Street Sales Tax is to agitate for taxation on the transactions of the poorest citizen while, at the same time, providing a free ride for rich bankers and vampiric financial institutions. This agitation, if realized, would entirely remove the burden of funding the Federal and State governments off the shoulders of the wealthy Wall Street bankers and thrust it onto the backs of the poor, working, and middle class alone. Those individuals who state their undying respect and love for the U.S. Constitution should recognize the 1% Wall Street Sales Tax as an opportunity to both reduce the Federal and State budget deficit as well as the influence of Wall Street in a clearly Constitutional manner. 4.) The 1% Wall Street Sales Tax Largely Solves the Budget Deficit and Social Safety Net Funding Crisis The Congressional Budget Office has estimated the U.S. Federal Budget Deficit at the end of 2012 at close to $1.1 Trillion dollars. In addition, each U.S. state maintains a budget deficit (with the exception of Alaska, Arkansas, Montana, North Dakota, West Virginia, and Wyoming) measured in the millions to billions of dollars. As reported by Stateline, the news reporting agency of the Pew Charitable Trusts, the total of all State budget deficits combined equals $111.9 billion. However, while a $1,112,000,000,000.00 American budget deficit at first sounds like an impossible number to bring under control, one must bear in mind the estimates of just the initial revenue from the 1% Wall Street Sales Tax. As mentioned above, such proceeds are conservatively projected to reach the level of several trillions of dollars. More optimistic and even perhaps more accurate estimates suggest revenue in the range of tens of trillions of dollars. With proceeds of these numbers divided evenly between the Federal government and the States, both the Federal and State budget deficits could be eliminated after the first intake of revenue is completed, all without cutting and gutting the social safety net, reducing military spending, or slowing the operation of government agencies. With the proceeds of the 1% Wall Street Sales Tax flooding the coffers of Federal, State, and Local governments, proponents of Austerity measures could then be seen as the irrational pro-monopolistic agitators that they are. 5.) The 1% Wall Street Sales Tax Is The Best Option Broadly speaking in terms of the social safety net programs and Federal and State budget deficit issues being discussed during Congressional sideshows such as the Sequestration, the 1% Wall Street Sales Tax is not only the best option in terms of convenience, fairness, and positive results, it is the only method capable of actually achieving the goals for which it is created. Competing approaches either fail to achieve the necessary revenue, levy unfair taxation, or produce results which are entirely counter to any rationally desired outcome. The most obviously abhorrent method of reducing or eliminating the budget deficit and managing the funding of the social safety net is that of Austerity. This approach is, essentially, the cutting of services, government labor, and government spending which is more often than not accompanied by an increase in the taxes of the lower, working, and middle class. Even aside from the desired results and moral implications of such a program, Austerity measures are inherently foolish in terms of reducing deficits and funding programs in that this method has failed on every occasion where it has been implemented. In reality, Austerity measures only create bigger budget deficits and financial crises in the next fiscal year. Regardless of the success or failure of Austerity, however, such methods are the antithesis to those who desire a rational, civilized society. Any discussion of Austerity must immediately be dismissed as foolishness and insanity. Likewise, any discussion of raising the income tax or the implementation of a Federal Sales Tax (other than the 1% Wall Street Sales Tax) should immediately be abandoned. Higher taxation on an already overtaxed citizenry will only serve to reduce the amount of economic activity in the long run and to further burden those suffering the most in what can only be described as a worldwide economic depression. Propositions such as the Fair Tax should be included in this delineation as they are by nature regressive taxation and impose heavier burdens on the poor, working, and lower classes. These types of taxation cut only into the amenities of the rich but cut deeply into the necessities of the poor despite tools like the prebate discussed by proponents of the Fair Tax. In the same vein, a Wealth Tax, like the one being proposed by various sources such as David Altman of the New York Times, presents numerous undesirable effects in addition to falling short of attaining any real revenue. Any program that would require such an extensive census of personal wealth and taxable assets is not only bound to face innumerable Constitutional challenges, it will require a virtual police state to enforce and administer. Regardless, it is also a fact that wages are much harder to hide from government investigation than other forms of income and assets such as those favored by rich elitists who are able to hide their assets away in various offshore accounts, funds, and foundations, thus continuing to leave massive loopholes for Wall Street parasites and wealthy financiers while cracking down upon the average American worker. Even if the Wealth Tax is able to accrue the optimum amount of money its proponents argue it can deliver, it pales in comparison to the 1% Wall Street Sales Tax in that it could not exceed over several hundred billion dollars of yearly revenue. The 1% Wall Street Sales Tax on the other hand, is estimated to rake in several trillion in revenue at the very least. It should also be pointed out that the 1% Wall Street Sales Tax is the only option that actually discourages dangerous speculation and encourages tangible production. Conclusion The United States now finds itself in an unmistakable crisis situation. Caught in the grips of a worldwide economic depression, the U.S. now faces the perils of imperialism abroad and the imposition of a police state at home. In addition, the United States faces increasing economic destabilization, unemployment, fraudulent food shortage, health and healthcare crises, environmental degradation, and the ultimate collapse of the availability and the ability to provide for the basic necessities of life. In short, the United States (along with the rest of the world) is facing the very real possibility of a complete collapse of civilization as we know it and subsequent imposition of Fascism on a global scale. As Greece, Spain, Ireland, and many others continue to be hammered by Austerity measures, the United States is falling prey to the same philosophies and political smokescreens. Yet, the United States stands at an even greater disadvantage than its European counterparts due to the fact that Americans are unfortunately still unable to understand the nature and dangers of Austerity. Thus, the dismantling of what was once the economic powerhouse of the world is taking place virtually unbeknownst to those who stand to become its greatest victims. However, there are solutions readily available whenever there exists the will to take hold of them. In relation to the crisis of the social safety net as well as the U.S. and State budget deficit, that solution exists in the form of the 1% Wall Street Sales Tax. Most of the current American financial quagmire can be traced back to the antics and schemes of Wall Street at some point or other. The lack of adequate funding for the U.S. government can be directly related to the fact that the burden of funding falls on the backs of the poor, working, and middle class while Wall Street pays nothing. This free ride afforded to Wall Street must end. The 1% Wall Street Sales Tax is the sole method that can attract revenue in the range of tens of trillions of dollars capable of fully funding the social safety net and the U.S. government as well as effectively eliminating the budget deficit at the Federal and State levels. All of this while discouraging dangerous forms of speculation and derivatives trading. Contrary to many other proposals being floated in the public arena by often questionable sources, the 1% Wall Street Sales Tax is entirely Constitutional. Support The 1% Wall Street Sales Tax While the concept of taxing Wall Street turnover has been circulating for some time, the credit for the revision, fine tuning, and detailed articulation of the 1% Wall Street Sales Tax should largely be given to Webster Griffin Tarpley. Currently agitation for the 1% Wall Street Sales Tax is being undertaken most notably by the United Front Against Austerity, a coalition of a wide-ranging organizations attempting to inject and promote economic solutions based upon the American System of Economics, independent of the false left/right paradigm and the two existing major parties.

2	Watch Closely What Happened When Trump Landed In Florida For Thanksgiving On Tuesday night, Donald Trump and his family took off from New York City to head to their luxury Mar-a-Lago estate for their annual Thanksgiving celebration. Trump wasnt expecting much of a reception when he landed in Palm Beach, but he ended up being very wrong. Daily Mail reported that Trump was met with cheers as his motorcade carried him and his family from Palm Beach International Airport. This was a welcome change for Trump, who has been dealing with immense hostility throughout the month. He was in the spotlight earlier this week for his controversy with the New York Times. Read the report from Daily Mail below: [Trump] left behind a Big Apple that has decided to bite back at the new President-elect, with pro-Clinton protesters and even Broadway taking their shots at him and his still-forming Cabinet. And he also says goodbye for now, at least to the corrupt press whose heads he blasted in a series of fiery rants over the last two days. On Monday, Trump invited executives from NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and Fox Business Network to Trump Tower for what was supposed to be an off-the-record meeting. Trumps former campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, described the meeting as very cordial, very productive, very congenial, and very candid and honest. On Tuesday, Trump had a meeting with The New York Times, where he delivered a measured response to the papers reporters and its publisher, Arthur Sulzberger Jr. I have great respect for the New York Times. I have tremendous respect. I think Ive been treated very rough, he said. He said their coverage was the roughest of all and said of his campaign: Its been 18 months of brutality in a true sense. 
3	Even bigger Big Brother: Facebook purchases Israeli facial recognition company Face.comMadison Ruppert, Contributor If you continue to use Facebook in a state of ignorant bliss, hopefully this will help you wake up to the reality of what this internet giant is really up to. As a Facebook spokesperson put it, this acquisition seems purely logical and perfectly in line with their business model. People who use Facebook enjoy sharing photos and memories with their friends, and Face.coms technology has helped to provide the best photo experience, said the Facebook spokesperson to VentureBeat. This transaction simply brings a world-class team and a long-time technology vendor in house. It also greatly enhances their facial recognition capabilities which Facebook will also most likely be applying to all photos captured by the other company recently purchased by Facebook: Instagram. The privacy issues inherent in Faceboooks move to snatch up Face.com are so blatant and impossible to ignore that even InformationWeek has raised the issue in an article entitled, Facebook Buys Face.com: At What Privacy Cost? The pending deal is expected to come to be closed at some point in the next few weeks. Face.com, which is a relatively new company founded in and based out of Israel, boasts some of the most cutting-edge consumer facial recognition technology which can not only identify people but also guess the age of a person in the photo. One of their products is a camera application for iOS (which runs on iPhones and iPads) called KLIK which uses Face.coms facial recognition technology to automatically tag their Facebook friends in photographs. Reuters reports that a third-party Facebook application tracking service called AppData has reported that KLIK boasts 40,000 monthly active Facebook users. We love building products, and like our friends at Facebook, we think that mobile is a critical part of peoples lives as they both create and consume content, and share content with their social graph, said Face.com CEO Gil Hirsch. By working with Facebook directly, and joining their team, well have more opportunities to build amazing products that will be employed by consumers thats all weve ever wanted to do, he added. Reuters also reports that Facebook has quickly acted in an attempt to improve their image after the somewhat failed public launch by making some well thought out purchases and hires. Facebook recently purchased Karma, a mobile gifting application, as well as iOSdevelopers Pieceable Software and there have also been reports of Facebook investigating acquiring Opera for their mobile browser. While all of this might sound fine and dandy, I would encourage my readers to consider the privacy implications as well. Did I forget anything or miss any errors?

3	Seattle protester files suit after video shows police lieMikael Thalen, Contributor I have somebodys knee right on my neck, I cant breathe. I dont know whats going on. I dont know what I did wrong, I dont know what Im being arrested for. Seattle police had their hands full when a peaceful protest turned violent after dozens of protesters in black clothing and masks began breaking windows, spray painting cars, and slashing tires. One officer was even reportedly hit in the face by a glass jar. Seattle police officer Sonya Fry claimed that the arrest and later assault charge was because Morales had cursed at her and punched her in the chest. If its your testimony against the testimony of a police officer, youre going to lose every time, said Darryl Parker, Morales lawyer. Luckily for Morales video of her arrest appeared on YouTube, showing officer Sonya throwing Morales to the ground. The case against Morales was immediately dropped after the prosecution saw the video. SPD would not comment on the case. Morales claims due to the lawsuit against her, shot lost her home and her job as an emergency medical technician. Morales who is pregnant, also says she is worried about the stress that has been put on her baby. Morales says she hopes that her lawsuit against the city will stop other people from being falsely arrested in the future. A girl is thrown onto bikes by her hair for trying to leave when police asked her to. This article first appeared at The Examiner HERE linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	Colorado Reps Introduce Bill to Respect States Rights For Marijuana Useselfnews Post In an attempt to preempt any violation of states rights by the feds, a group of Colorado Congressmen formally introduced the Respect States and Citizens Rights Actthis past Friday.The bill would amend theControlled Substances Act toexempt states where lawmakers or voters have legalized marijuana. The bill, which was authored by Democrat Congresswoman, Diana DeGette, has bipartisan support. In a press release Rep. DeGette said In Colorado weve witnessed the aggressive policies of the federal government in their treatment of legal medicinal marijuana providers. My constituents have spoken and I dont want the federal government denying money to Colorado or taking other punitive steps that would undermine the will of our citizens. The bill is also supported by Mike Coffman and other Republicans, even though some of them were opposed to marijuana legalization. I voted against Amendment 64 and I strongly oppose the legalization of marijuana, but I also have an obligation to respect the will of the voters given the passage of this initiative, and so I feel obligated to support this legislation, Coffman said in the statement. Reps Barney Frank and Ron Paul sent a letter to Obama encouraging him to respect state laws and to not use federal resources to prosecute pot smokers. Respect for the principles of democracy; respect for the states to make decisions on matters that primarily affect the residents of those states; the chance to conserve scarce federal financial resources these we believe are many strong reasons for you to defer to the state decisions, Paul and Frank wrote. Another bipartisan Congressional group wrote a similar letter to Eric Holder at the Department of Justice stating, California Governor Jerry Brown, who opposes marijuana legalization, also said the federal government should respect states rights to decide how to regulate marijuana use on CNNs State of the Unionshortly after the election. Its time for the Justice Department to recognize the sovereignty of the states. We are capable of self-government, he said. We dont need some federal gendarme to come and tell us what to do. I believe in comity toward the states, thats a decent respect Although this bill specifically refers to state exemptions where marijuana is concerned, it comes at a time when more states and citizens are attempting to flex their muscles against federal dictates.With White Housepetitions for secession of all 50 statesgaining steam, a clear message is being sent for the feds to back off.

2	U.S. Womens Gymnasts Were Told Not To Praise Christ, So They Did This Instead This week, it seems the liberal media has focused all of its attention on the story of Ibtijah Muhammad, the first American woman to wear a hijab while competing. While she is busy criticizing Trump, many other Olympic champions are thanking God for giving them the opportunity to compete. Take Simone Biles, for instance. Biles has an incredible story as well. Her grandparents adopted her after she was placed into foster care because of her mothers addiction to alcohol and drugs. Do Not Be Afraid is repeated in the Bible 365 times, she tweeted. This is a daily reminder from God to live everyday FEARLESS. Your talent is Gods gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God, Biles shared back in 2014. Or, lets look at the story of 20-year-old Gabby Douglas, who just revealed that she practices gymnastics to a Christian-music playlist. She also uses this music during her performances. Faith plays a very big role in my life, she said in a recent interview. I dont know where I would be without it today. And my mom always exposed me and my siblings to being a Christian and the bible. I was watching back and looking at the Olympics and my mouth is movingand thats me praying. What do you think? Is it time that some of these other role models get a turn in the spotlight? 
2	Burglar Breaks Into House And Dies After Homeowners Do THIS A burglar attempted to break into this a couples house in Central California, and tried to sneak in through the chimney. The burglar got stuck overnight, and was in the chimney for almost 24 hours. When the couple lit a fire, the burglar suffocated to death. The couple called the fire department but by the time they got there and broke into the chimney, the man was dead. Ive been a duputy for almost 17 years now, and Ive never seen anything like this, Fresno Country sheriffs Deputy Jake Jensen told NBC. Did this burglar deserve death? 
1	Noting the 51-year-olds increasingly flushed complexion, wide and intense eyes, and slow, heavy breathing during an argument Friday morning, local siblings Jeff and Katie Russell told reporters that their father, Dave Russell, is far scarier when he tries to control his temper. Thereve been plenty of times when he totally loses it and ends up slamming his fists on the table or yelling right at us, but somehow this is way worse, Jeff Russell, 16, said after witnessing his father develop a bulging vein on the side of his neck while straining to lower the volume of his voice and contort his face into an expression of composure, a display his sister agreed was far more frightening than seeing him shout numerous profanities. You think hes finally going to snap, but instead he just keeps building up anger until there are a few beads of sweat on his forehead. Honestly, it would be a huge relief for everyone if he just let it out and threw something at the wall. At press time, the elder Russell had said through gritted teeth that he needed a moment to gather his thoughts and calmly stepped out of the room, leaving everyone at the breakfast table in complete terror. 
2	Black Activists Attempt To Disturb Trump Rally, But What What Happens Next [VIDEO] During a North Carolina Trump rally, an African American man was socked by an old white man while he was being escorted out of the event for protesting. 26-year-old Rakeem Jones was forced to leave the rally. As he was exited the building, a diehard Trump supporter wearing a cowboy hat and black vest decided he deserved a bit more than that. As Jones stumbled away, he was handcuffed by sheriff deputies. The video of the incident, which has since gone viral, is sparking a heated racial debate on social media. What do you think? Did this man get what he deserved or did the cowboy take things way too far? 
1	A local 22-year-old has obtained a job at a website, sources confirmed Wednesday. I am eager to begin my career working at this website, said the white male in his 20s, who secured his position after graduating from a four-year educational program at an accredited university. This is an exciting industry. My job will allow me to use my technological skills in the workplace. According to preliminary reports, the 22-year-old is currently looking to rent an apartment in the major metropolitan area where the website is located. 
2	Muslim Group Attempts To Change American Flag According to recent reports, a group of Muslims in Switzerland are demanding that the white cross be removed from the Swiss national flag because the Christian symbol no longer corresponds to todays Muslim multicultural Switzerland. Not surprisingly, the proposal is not being received well by conservative citizens and leaders. There is a growing frustration with the unwillingness of the Muslim population to assimilate with local culture. Instead, they attempt to change traditions to meet their needs. Sylvia Fluckiger, a counselor with the conservative Swiss Peoples Party (SVP) called the demands totally unacceptable. The next thing you know, they will demand even more, that we change our constitution, Fluckiger argued. Stefan Brupbacher, the general secretary of the libertarian Free Democrats (FDP) also chimed in, claiming that the proposal is utter nonsense. The Swiss cross is an extremely successful and valuable global brand, he added. It is a symbol of success and quality. We will tightly hold on to it, out of love for Switzerland. Perhaps the most vocal on the issue is Oskar Freysinger, who has been referred to as the Donald Trump of Switzerland. Watch his comments below and tell us what you think. 
1	In a shockingly selfish pattern of behavior that has occurred repeatedly over the past six months, local 8-year-old and whiny brat Sean Cooper has continued his habit of interrupting his parents with his pleas for them to stop screaming at each other, sources reported Thursday. Sean, who has an extensive history of not minding his own business, apparently cannot display the common courtesy of keeping his mouth shut as his parents, Robert and Karen Cooper, loudly discuss Robert's short temper and Karen's controlling nature at the family dinner table, or in the middle of the living room late at night when Sean is supposed to be in bed sleeping. 'I wish Mommy and Daddy would be nice to each other,' the wantonly disrespectful second-grader told reporters, seemingly unaware of the total lack of gratitude he exhibits toward his parents on a nearly daily basis by constantly interjecting tearful pleas for them to stop arguing. 'They used to be happy and now they fight all the time. I just want things to be how they used to be.' 'I wish I could make them not fight anymore,' he continued, perhaps too self-absorbed to realize that whatever his parents happen to be discussing from moment to moment is absolutely none of his concern, and that children should never, under any circumstances, try to involve themselves in the business of adults. 'I hope they don't get a divorce.' According to sources, despite the fact that no one cares what his opinion is because he's only 8 years old, Sean once again subjected his parents to his rampaging ego late Wednesday night when he knocked on their bedroom door at 1 a.m. and tearfully informed them that he could hear them yelling mean things at each other through his wall. While clutching his stuffed animal and staring morosely at his feet like some sort of sulking, grade-school prima donna, Sean then reportedly proceeded to take up another 45 seconds of his parents' valuable time explaining in needlessly long-winded detail that it made him sad when they fought, never once stopping to take note of how utterly self-indulgent he was sounding, or how his outburst might be construed as utterly inappropriate given the fact that his parents had been in the midst of a private conversation concerning their marriage. 'They told me it was very late and they were having a grown-up talk and I should go back to my room,' said the child, who was quite rightly put in his place in that instance, and really should have known better than to interrupt in the first place. 'Then later I heard Daddy slam their door and go downstairs to his car.' After trying to present his parents with a rather condescending and manipulative colored-pencil drawing he had made of the three of them standing outside their house with big smiles on their crudely rendered faces, Sean told reporters in a trembling voice that can only be described as immensely irritating that he didn't 'know who to talk to' about the situation with his parents, as though blabbing his mouth off about the lives of others were ever a wise idea. 'Why is this happening?' whined the little shit for what felt like the 5,000th time this week, his pouty voice reaching levels of annoyance that would make even the most levelheaded adult want to pick up a chair and throw it across the room in sheer exasperation. 'Is it my fault?' 'I should just run away,' added Sean, positing his first sensible thought in years. 'Maybe that would make everything better.' At press time, Sean was most likely feeling sorry for himself and finding a way to make everything all about him, just as he always does. 
1	Once burdened with physically demanding chores, exhausting farm work, and other unpleasant duties, man's quality of life dramatically improved after his successful domestication of the common woman. Though for years women had roamed free throughout most of Asia, Europe, and Africa, experts estimate that by around 3,000 BCE men had begun putting them to work. 'A valuable commodity with seemingly endless uses, the woman has played a crucial role throughout human history,' noted historian Alan Helbling said. 'Not only could she be trained to perform a variety of tasks, but once her spirit was broken and her energies reined in, she could be taught to come whenever she was called.' 'They're really quite magnificent creatures,' Helbling added. While initially wild, with their own stubborn ideas and desires, Helbling said that women slowly learned to submit to instruction, and over time, showed less and less resistance when being forced to mate. In addition, raising a woman to maturity was considered low maintenance, which meant that a man could expend little effort when attending to her care and feeding. Eventually, women were brought inside the home to provide companionship, and some even became a part of the family. Anthropologist Jeremy Murphy claims that, to prevent the wilder women from running away, men limited their freedom by training them to stay in enclosed spaces for long periods of time. According to Murphy, disobedience on the part of women was not taken lightly; physical punishments and restrictive harnesses were often employed to curb any independent behavior. 'With the creation of the corset, man was further able to control his growing stable of wives and daughters, and could parade them around without ever having to worry about keeping them in line,' Murphy said. 'The corset, along with the many other yokes and straps that followed, provided a physical reminder of who was boss.' For most of the 18th and 19th centuries, women continued their work in the field and at home, often showing little sign of their once liberated nature. However, by the mid-20th century, a number of strange occurrences were reported: Spooked by the growing civil rights movement and loud protests taking place across the country, hundreds of women suddenly broke free from their restraints and, for the first time in millennia, ran wild, joining four-year colleges and professional workplaces along the way. The majority have yet to return. 'They'll come backyou'll see,' cried Kentucky resident Dale Berring, who saw his woman leave for greener pastures almost 10 years ago. 'And when they do, there'll be hell to pay.'

1	In one of the most startling horticultural power plays to strike the executive branch in years, conniving groundskeeper Irv Williams is gaining sway over the West Wing staff, anonymous sources said Tuesday. The 83-year-old has reportedly used his favor to place aides in prime gardening posts, silence hostile landscapers, and manipulate his way into daily classified security briefings. 'It started with a few tiny water elms along the edge of the property, and then there was a koi pond, the zinnias, and that ficus he gave [Press Secretary Robert] Gibbs,' said one source, peering over his shoulder. 'Now he's taking late night meetings with the attorney general to address 'concerns' he has about the president's ability to pick perennials. Christ have mercy on every last one of us.' Sources close to Williams said he will stop at nothing, or when he gets a new watering can. 
3	3 Vintage Scientific Big Pharma Drugs that Contained Ingredients Like HeroinAnthony Gucciardi Even following the subsequent ban on heroin being sold as a drug by Bayer after roughly 26 years of being sold to the public as a scientific medical cure, drugs were created to mimic heroin and sold to satiate the rabid market for the heavily addictive drug. But Bayers heroin product is not the end of the truly ridiculous vintage Big Pharma products that dominated the medical community for decades upon decades. Here are 3 vintage scientific Big Pharma products that are guaranteed to shock you: 1. Injectable Opium by Roche The creator of the first anti-depressant, which was removed in the early 60s due to extremely toxic side effects, Roche also had a popular product known as Injectable Whole Opium. Displayed in the American Journal of Surgery for readers to purchase, the injectable opium offers dependable pain relief among other health benefits. The 1940s injectable opium ad states that the product is bound to please you. Ironically sold as a cure for a host of ailments including morphine addiction, this horrendously addictive Bayer drug was sold to the public for 26 years before the United States congress banned its ability to be sold, manufactured, or imported. Before that, the Harrison Narcotics Tax Act simply allowed for Bayer to sell heroin as a prescription drug or really for any medical purpose. It wasnt until 1925, however, that the League of Nations Health Committee banned heroin (diacetylmorphine) taking 3 years to fully take effect. Pioneering the commercial creation of morphine for the global market and achieving massive financial gain, Merck also was a major player in the production of cocaine. In alliance with cocaine user Sigmund Freud, Merck created pharmaceutical cocaine and peddled it throughout the emerging markets to drug users. Keith Richards is also apparently a fan of pharmaceutical cocaine, previously hooked on heroin and a host of other drugs as well. Is it any coincidence that the new modern era of pharmaceutical drugs by these same companies actually kill more than now-illegal drugs like cocaine and heroin that they originally introduced into the system?

3	Action Alert: Protest in front of San Bernardino Court, August 9Janet Phelan The issue at hand here is that Risses conservator, Melodie Scott, is seeking to overturn a deed of sale which was duly notarized nearly thirty years ago, when Risse was a spring chicken in her early seventies. She sold her home in Yucaipa to a friend, Glenn Neff, with the understanding she could live in the house for the rest of her life. Neff has been maintaining the house and also paying the insurance. Fast forward to 2012 and Risse is now conserved. Conservator Scott wants that house returned into the conservatorship so that she can bleed the money out of the house in a reverse mortgage, to pay for her services. We all need to pay attention to this case. It is truly precedent setting. After the demonstration in June, Keith and Kevin presented on more than one occasion in front of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors concerning the continued violations of law happening in SB County Probate court. We are making some waves and we need to keep the pressure on. Tell your friends! This is a peaceful, family-friendly event. The courthouse is located at 351 N. Arrowhead Ave, San Bernardino CA 92415 For more on Melodie Scotts business practices, please visit these links: Any questions, please give me a call.

1	In a statement issued after Wednesday night's Rockies-Giants contest, home plate umpire Laz Diaz warned all catchers around the league that he is 'onto their little game,' and is easily able to tell when they slyly move their glove into the strike zone after catching a pitch off the plate. 'You catchers seem to think that I was born yesterday,' the statement, which called the catchers' tactics 'dishonest, immature, and tantamount to cheating,' read in part. 'Some of you even believe you can fool me by holding your glove there for an extra long time, as if to say, 'See, I'm holding it here like this because it was a strike.' Well, this umpire is not falling for that. Not today, not ever.' Diaz further stated that a batter who removes his elbow protector, drops his bat, and begins heading to first base will never coax him into calling ball four. 
1	According to a study published Monday in The New England Journal Of Medicine, people in comas experience excruciating, indescribable levels of pain whenever they hear the sound of a loved one's voice. The Johns Hopkins University study, which used fMRI brain-imaging technology to monitor the cerebral activity of more than 400 coma patients while friends and family members talked soothingly at their hospital bedsides, found that every second a loved one was speaking, subjects felt pain so agonizing that researchers have likened it to the sensation of having one's skin slowly removed with dull scissors before being doused in gasoline and set on fire. 'Whether the patient's sister was reading aloud from a favorite book or a spouse was relating shared happy memories, the data conclusively proved the participant was experiencing wave after wave of pain so torturous that you or I couldn't even begin to imagine it,' said Dr. Adam Tyner, lead author of the study. 'After hearing a loved one speak, every single coma patient we observed exhibited a huge spike in activity within the pain centers of the brain, at levels comparable to those of someone dropped into a vat of hydrochloric acid and then forced to roll around in salt.' 'If you are in any way significant to or loved by a coma patient, it appears visiting that person in the hospital is the absolute worst thing you can do to him or her,' Tyner continued. 'You have to understand, if these individuals could speak, they would be screaming at their loved ones to please, for the love of all that is good and holy, stop talking.' Tyner said the data also proved that patients were very much cognizant of their surroundings and seemed to know precisely who was causing them the worst pain any human being could possibly experience. He went on to stress that what the subjects were experiencing was not simply emotional pain, but a very real and horrible physical pain, similar to the sensation of being dragged naked behind a truck over miles of jagged lava plains covered with tacks and broken glass. 'During trials in which a young son or daughter urged a parent to please, please just wake up, the pain reached an intensity so severe we can safely hypothesize these patients would gladly have jumped to their deaths from hospital windows cursing their children's names, had they the capacity to do so,' Tyner said. In addition, the study found many other stimuli besides vocalizations that caused immense pain in coma patients. The smell of fresh flowers, the presence of Mylar balloons, or a loved one gently running fingers through the subject's hair all caused pain so extreme it would cause a healthy person to mercifully black out. However, because of their condition coma patients are unable to scream for help, and are instead forced to remain completely silent and aware as they endured a pain 10 times worse than that of a torture victim. 'No stimulus compared to utterances of 'I love you,'' Tyner said. 'Those three words resulted in a pain that has no known equivalent, but the closest approximation would be the sensation of hot, rusty needles flowing through one's very blood stream.' Tyner said that the full implications of the study were still not totally clear, but that loved ones could take immediate steps to improve the palliative care of those in comas. 'Don't talk to them, don't gaze upon them lovingly, don't even think about them,' Tyner said. 'Not surprisingly, the evidence suggests those in comas are so sensitive they can faintly pick up sympathetic thoughts from friends and family, which also causes them terrible, unimaginable pain.' 'The best advice I can give is that if you care for these people at all, just leave them completely alone until they either wake up or die,' Tyner added. 
2	Chuck Norris Just Destroyed Hillary Clintons 2016 Presidential Hopes According to recent reports, Chuck Norris just released an editorial piece completely destroying Hillary Clinton, and any aspirations she may have had for running for President. In the article, Norris claims that while conservatives are the first to argue against Hillary Clinton entering the White House, many of her liberal friends are also opposed to the ideaand are not afraid to tell the media about it. According to WND, the action star provided a total of 10 liberal cases against Clinton running in 2016. Norris even quotes CNN journalist Dan Merica who said, Possible the biggest concern among liberals iis Clintons coziness with Wall Street, their big bogeyman. Since leaving the State Department in 2013, she has spoken at events sponsored by Wall Street giants like Fidelity, Goldman Sachs, and Ameriprise financial, Merica continued. During her Senate runs and 2008 presidential run, Clinton defended lobbyists. Lets all keep our fingers crossed that Norris statement gets through to those who are thinking about voting for Clinton. 
2	Is Texas Banning Students From Celebrating Christmas? According to recent reports, one Texas Elementary school has decided to ban the phrase Merry Christmas. Nichols Elementary School PTA issued an email to parents last year stating that children would not be allowed to say Merry Christmas at the annual holiday party. The rule is apparently intended to avoid offending anyone. However, the email also took the ban a step further. Reportedly, the event is not going to reference Christmas in the slightest, with no Christmas trees, no red or green clothing, and no mention of it in the name. The event has even changed its name from Holiday Party to Winter Party. State Representative Pat Fallon called the email Political correctness gone too far. One school district official has responded to the email by stating that it was not an official PTA correspondence, and that there are no restrictions on what students can wear or say. What do you think of the schools new policy? 
2	Right Before She Passed Away, Joan Rivers Had One Last Harsh Insult To Michelle Obama Right before her death, Joan Rivers decided to make one more bold statement: banning three well-known celebrities from her funeral service. Not surprisingly, First Lady Michelle Obama made the list. Also to make the list was pop singer Adele and former talk-show host Chelsea Handler. According to Rivers, Adele is fat, and Handler is a drunk and a whore and Obama is a tranny. Rivers revealed her wishes during an interview with The Sunday Times Magazine. In the interview, Rivers also talked about helping her daughter come to grips with her death. Rivers passed away after suffering cardiac arrest during a throat procedure. Rivers funeral was filled with a number of celebrities who attended, including Hugh Jackman, Kelly Osbourne, and Sarah Jessica Parker. 
1	Exposing widespread cases of rampant neglect and overly harsh treatment, human rights organization Amnesty International released a damning report Friday decrying the cruel and inhumane conditions of NHL penalty boxes. Confining players against their will in these filthy and incredibly cramped enclosures is absolutely unacceptable in todays modern game, read an excerpt from the report, which also demanded accountability from the NHL after penalized players as young as 18 were found to be subjected to relentless abuse by opposing fans in arenas across the league. The floors are often covered with the spit and refuse of previous offenders, with two players sometimes forced to share the same putrid, unhygienic penalty box. This brutal punishment is handed out for even the smallest of infractionsin some cases a five-minute sentence for a bullshit cross-checking calland the NHL has simply turned a blind eye to this incredibly serious issue. The report went on to heavily criticize the leagues barbaric policy of forcing a penalized player to watch as his teammates are reduced to playing short-handed.

2	Obamas Booed At College Basketball Game It would appear that the days of warm welcomes are officially over for the Obamas. With approval ratings at an all-time low and Republicans anxious to push him out of the White House, things arent looking good for President Obama. Recently, the President and his family (including his two daughters) were greeted with boos when they attended a college basketball game to watch Oregon State play the University of Maryland. The heckling was so loud that at one point the president had to cover his ears with his hands. Still, the Obamas stayed and watched the entire game. What do you think? Do the Obamas deserve to be heckled? 
3	BBC discovers connection to al-Qaeda in YemenBy Brandon Turbeville Still, despite the ample evidence that GCC member states are some of the largest financial supporters of al-Qaeda, the Western mainstream press has opted for the shadowy and wealthy Islamist donation theory of al-Qaeda funding. But even with such staunch cover provided by a media apparatus itself tightly controlled by relevant Western governments and intelligence agencies, the myriad of connections between the jihadist terrorist organization and the GCC cannot be fully hidden. For instance, a documentary film maker working for the BBC has recently brought back evidence of collaboration between the Saudi-led coalition and al-Qaeda fighters in Yemen. The film maker, as part of her mission, filmed fighters from the United Arab Emirates and those from jihadist brigades. The film maker discovered that, not only were the jihadists and the coalition members fighting the same enemy (Houthi rebels opposed to the government of Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi) but that they were doing so in a coordinated fashion. The coalition publicly denies supporting the jihadists but Safa al-Ahmad, the BBC film maker discovered just the opposite upon her trip to Taiz, an embattled city under control of jihadist fighters but essentially surrounded and cut off by Houthi rebels. Al-Ahmad spoke to militia fighters conducting operations against the Houthis from a hilltop near Taiz who were doing so with the tactical assistance of UAE troops. Al-Ahmad was warned by one of the groups not to film them and was later warned that they were offended by the presence of a women in their midst. She was informed they were members of Ansar al-Sharia. Al-Ahmad stated that it appeared that al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) was seizing parts of southern Yemen as well as Mukalla, an important port city, by exploiting chaos. Of the situation around Taiz, BBC reports, Pro-government [Hadi] forces have been battling the rebels for control of Taiz, about 205km (123 miles) south of the rebel-held capital Sanaa, for months. The Houthis control all routes into and out of the city, and are besieging a Sunni Islamist-dominated alliance of local forces holding the city centre, while coalition-led forces are attacking the rebels [Houthis] on several fronts to the south and west. Over the past year, a number of reports have surfaced suggesting that AQAP and coalition forces have been working together to attack the Houthis in Southern Yemen. Other reports point out that the coalition forces are avoiding confrontation with the AQAP and vice versa in a de facto agreement. With Saudi Arabia and the UAEs relationship to terrorists in Syria and Iraq, however, it is not logical to believe that they are not supporting the same terrorist organization in Yemen. 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.

1	The Irish Republican Army announced Monday that it will embark on the most aggressive campaign of violence in its history if McDonald's Shamrock Shakes are not made available year-round. Gerry Adams, leader of IRA political wing Sinn Fein, wants the British to grant Northern Ireland year-round access to minty, delicious Shamrock Shakes. 'The Shamrock Shake is a frosty, minty symbol of all that we hold dear,' said Gerry Adams, leader of Sinn Fein, the IRA's political wing. 'It is shameful that we as a people cannot enjoy this proud, symbolic beverage any more than one week a year.' 'Unless the British government loosens its iron grip on this most Irish of shakes,' Adams continued, 'the streets will once again run red with English blood.' British Prime Minister John Major refused to give in to the IRA demands. 'The extremist threats of these people are unconscionable,' Major said in an impassioned speech before Parliament. 'The Shamrock Shake is only avaliable for a limited time.' 'Having to endure this appalling shake once a year is bad enough,' House of Lords member Edward Shropshire-Fentwick said. 'It will be a black day in England indeed when the Irish masses are free to have their barbaric shake whenever and wherever they want it.' In addition to year-round Shamrock Shake availability, the IRA called for the immediate release of the infamous 'Shake Seven.' Imprisoned since 1983 in connection with the bombing of a McDonald's Anglican Apple shake-mix factory in Manchester, the radical Shamrock Shake activists maintain their innocence to this day. 'If fighting on behalf of what one believes in is a crime, then let us all hang,' said Liam O'Fachna, the group's leader, from his cell in Birmingham Jail. 'Shamrock Shakes forever.' The IRA also demanded that the delicious, Irish-Catholic-themed shakes be available at all restaurants, not just at participating McDonald's. 'No single restaurant chain should have control over our delicious, frosty heritage,' Adams said. Though a connection has not been confirmed, Monday's IRA announcement coincided with an explosion at a British bank in Long Strand, an East Belfast enclave of Protestant vanilla-shake drinkers. In addition, a truck carrying Alpine Raspberry shake mixMcDonald's next scheduled specialty flavorwas overturned in the Ardoyne neighborhood of Belfast. In a videotaped statement from an IRA safehouse somewhere near Belfast, Uncle O'Grimacey, the most radical member of the Grimace family, demanded the immediate loosening of Shamrock Shake restrictions throughout Northern Ireland. 'Release the shakes to us at once,' O'Grimacey said, 'or the lives of your children will be forfeit.' McDonald's shake representative Grimace was quick to distance himself from his IRA-member uncle. 'All shakes in their time is my watchword, and certain flavors all year,' Grimace said. 'O'Grimacey is a radical Grimace acting without the approval of the McDonald's corporation.' The Shamrock Shake was banned in Northern Ireland until 1920, when Parliament finally voted to allow its consumption once a year, during the week of St. Patrick's Day. Between 1968 and 1994, more than 3,000 were killed in shake-related violence, including some 350 deaths during the 'Minty March' Riots of 1974. According to Irish legend, the Shamrock Shake first appeared when a statue of the Virgin Mary in front of St. Matthew's Cathedral in Belfast cried a 16-ounce quantity of the green beverage in 1605. 
2	Lil Wayne Disrespects America By Stomping On The American Flag During his music video, rapper Lil Wayne was shown trampling on the American flag. This was during the shooting of his new music video, God Bless Amerika. How ironic. Lil Wayne tried to explain his terrible act via social media, but it just came out sounding stupid and sad: It was never my intention to desecrate the flag of the United States of America. I was shooting a video for a song off my album entitled God Bless Amerika. The clip that surfaced on the Internet was a camera trick clip that revealed that behind the American Flag was the Hoods of America. In the final edit of the video you will see the flag fall to reveal what is behind it but will never see it on the ground. Many people have since exploded over the internet, saying that this act was disrespectful and unpatriotic. Some even went as far to say that this was treasonous. Unfortunately, many of his fans will continue to blindly follow this musician, despite what he has done. Let us know in the comments section below. Dont forget to LIKE this post on FACEBOOK. 
2	BREAKING: Obama Admin. Officials Convicted Of Voter Fraud In Obama Election If you thought that Obamas 2008 election just didnt seem right, it turns out you were on to something. At the end of last month, two Democratic officials from Indiana were arrested and convicted of ballot fraud. It appears that Obama truly wasnt eligible to be on the ballot. Chairman Butch Morgan Jr. from St. Joseph County was convicted of felony conspiracy to commit petition fraud and forgery. Dustin Blyth, who served on the Board of Elections, was charged with felony forgery and several counts of making a false petition. Both men were charged and convicted for submitting fake names and signatures on petitions that were designed to get Obama and Hillary Clinton onto the 2008 primary ballots. Morgan seems to have been the driver of the actions. County Sheriffs have uncovered that many locals of St. Joseph county appeared on the petitions, although they have sworn they never signed them. Unfortunately, the case wasnt brought to the court until 2011, when Lucas Burkett of the Board of Registration decided that he felt too guilty to continue carrying the secret. Authorities determined that had the criminal action not taken place, Obama probably wouldnt have appeared on the ballot in St. Joseph County. What do you think should be done about the fraud? 
3	Paint Thinner in Childrens Cereal ExposedHeather Callaghan Even though it appears right on the ingredients label, a lot of people dont realize its an industrial cleaning agent. It gets worse (see below video), the government doesnt even want you to clean with it because its considered bad for the environment. Its an okay part of a complete breakfast though! Nick Brannigan and Vicky LePage hit the streets of Las Vegas again to show people whats up: I referenced TSP when writing about various Cheerios debacles, saying that even if GMO-free, a lot of nutritionists would never recommend the cereal for its other ingredients. TSP appears in 6 varieties of Cheerios. Of course it is approved as GRAS (generally recognized as safe) by the FDA as a food additive. But the government has also decided it is bad for the environment because of algae blooms in fresh water. TSP was phased out of dishwashing and laundry products around 2011. But not for commercial use because, you know, they need to keep things clean for people. And not for chemical pesticides which many speculate is the real cause for invasive algae blooms due to waste water run off. Regular folk arent supposed to clean with it because of the environment but its okay in their food Some people are actually buying TSP at hardware stores so that they can add them to their dishwashers and laundry detergents for more efficient cleaning. Now that they have gone through the trouble of finding it, does it bother them to eat it? Its not to say that the alternative cereal, Natures Path, is the best breakfast option or chock full of nutrition, but if you are the cereal killer of the household you can at least be sure that youre not consuming an ingredient better left to scrubbing house siding. Plus, the owner of this independent, small company is unequivocally against genetically modified ingredients both for people and the land. Nick Brannigan is an investigative writer and hosts Health Conspiracy Radio onNaturalNewsRadio.com Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5PM EST.

1	Marveling at just how far he has plummeted since taking charge of the company 18 years ago, moronic former CEO Douglas Kellerman regaled reporters Tuesday with the discouraging story of how he worked his way down to the mailroom of MetroCom Holdings. It just goes to show that if you lose your ambition, never put in the effort, and have no idea what youre doing, you can steadily fall down the corporate ladder and reach the very bottom of a major company, said the total dope, adding that the key to failure is being the first person to fuck up in the morning and the last person to fuck up at night. Some people are born unlucky, but the rest of us have to slack off every single day to get noticed and earn those demotions. Im living proof! Kellerman added that if he keeps it up, he could soon be washing the windows of a top-floor corner office. 
2	$15 Minimum Wage Supporters Will Be Shocked To See What Mcdonalds Just Released McDonalds is the first of what is sure to be many fast food franchises that intend to implement kiosks to take orders instead of people behind cashiers. This comes after a heated debate about raising the minimum to $15 dollarssomething that businesses have consistently argued against for this very reason. Owner Chris Habiger notes that the kiosks will make it easier for customers to order, and will help to reduce the cost of operating the business. Habiger claims that the need to explore an employee-free restaurant is linked to higher minimum wage rates that are being imposed by state and local governments. With government driving up the cost of labor, its driving down the number of jobs, another interviewee told reporters. This is the problem with Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton and progressives who push very hard to raise the minimum wage. Does it really help if Sally makes $3 more an hour if Suzie has no job? What do you think of this new development? Was this bound to happen? 
1	A local 46-year-old man expressed confusion and disappointment Wednesday after watching what he described as a really weird pornographic movie that featured no nudity of any kind and contained only a few brief kissing scenes that never once led to a sexual act. Its about this all-American girl-next-door type and her fascination with a sleazy, gray-haired guy, which is usually the kind of thing Im into, but it turned out to be the strangest porn Ive ever seen, said surprised viewer Peter Lindy, explaining that the feature-length 1999 film was based entirely around whether the lead male and female characters will get together in the end, and though they eventually do, you never see anything close to full penetration. I just thought with all the tension between those two, it would turn into a huge fuck-fest, but instead they just make out. At one point, Maggie and Ike exchange a really hot kiss at this wedding rehearsal, and you think someones going to step in and Eiffel Tower her or something, but it never happens. Though perplexed by the film, Lindy confirmed that the final wedding scene was still pretty hot, so he was able to get off anyway. 
3	Can We Stop the Feds From Reading Our Opened Emails and Social Media Messages?By Amanda Warren For anyone whos been paying attention in the last 15 years, any news of government snooping such as listening in on phone calls, social media data collection or perusing internet activity is unfortunately, a given. In fact, for many of you, Edward Snowdens revelations about the NSA were more like public confirmations. But there are more disturbing turns that pass the limitations of our imaginations. In an eerie turn of events, weve witnessed in this weeks news, revelations of way more government wiretapping than was ever previously revealed, the FBI throwing a fit unless they can dip into encryption-free data from you, and the Senate getting ready to actually vote on requiring social media to report suspicious activity to the feds.Another creepy confirmation this week divulged details of private companies color coding your house for law enforcement the color indicating threat level even based on something a friend had done in the past and tracking and pulling up all traffic through your home, including pizza deliveries. One such public confirmation came in this week that reveals the extent of who is opening our opened emails. ZDNetreports that multiple federal agencies can read every email or social networking message you opened in the last year, but lawmakers would like it to stop: That includes every email or message you opened last year, and earlier. (Anything under that six-month period still requires a warrant, however.) Supposedly requires a warrant But this provision includes all agencies of law enforcement even the IRS! Perhaps it is because of Snowdens public confirmations of similar privacy violations run amok, that Congress is at least ostensibly paying attention. Hundreds of lawmakers are calling for some type of change to kill warrantless email searches. But The warrantless email search reform bill was originally introduced in 2013, but stalled in a bureaucratic session despite passing the various congressional committees. The proposed law aims to fix the outdated Electronic Communications Privacy Act, which is still in effect despite falling behind the curve of the digital age, and has the support from privacy groups and major technology companies alike. The House version of the bill, introduced by Rep. Kevin Yoder (R-KS, 3rd), has been popular, engendering support from 280 co-sponsors (over half of the House), including Rep. Thomas Massie. Naturally, the federal agencies who rely on keeping ECPA intact are not pleased, ZDNet reports. The bill would be anticipated to pass if it were up for a vote today it is stalled as two chairman have yet to set a date. Keep track of the current version of the bill here, and contact your Representatives. Recently fromAmanda Warren: NO,,,,,, because IF YOU ARE NOT PAYING FOR THE SERVICE THEN YOU ARE THE PRODUCT THEY ARE SELLING. Period.

2	White House In Panic Mode After Obama Makes Racist Comment [VIDEO] Recently, a blatantly racist comment from Obamas 2008 presidential campaign has come to the surface. The comment was made by the co-chairman of Obamas campaign, Jess Jackson Jr. In an interview that is now making headlines, Jackson compared the relationship between Obama and Hillary Clinton to that of O.J. Simpson and Nicole Simpson. And in case, for some reason, you missed it: O.J. is still the main suspect in the murder of his wife Nicole in 1994. Watch the video below and tell us what you think of the Obama administration. 
1	The National Endowment for the Arts announced Monday that it has begun construction on a $1.3 billion, 14-line lyric poemits largest investment in the nation's aesthetic- industrial complex since the $850 million interpretive-dance budget of 1985. 'America's metaphors have become strained beyond recognition, our nation's verses are severely overwrought, and if one merely examines the internal logic of some of these archaic poems, they are in danger of completely falling apart,' said the project's head stanza foreman Dana Gioia. 'We need to make sure America's poems remain the biggest, best-designed, best-funded poems in the world.' Gioia confirmed that the public-works composition will be assembled letter-by-letter atop a solid base of the relationship between man and nature. The poem's structure, laid out extensively on lined-paper blueprints, involves a traditional three- quatrain-and-a-couplet framework, which will be tethered to an iambic meter for increased stability and symmetry. If the planners can secure an additional $6.2 million in funding, they may affix a long dash to the end of line three, though Gioia said that is a purely optimistic projection at this stage. The poem is expected not only to revitalize the community, Gioia said, but also create jobs for the nation's hundreds of out-of-work poets. According to the proposed budget, the poem's 224 authors have allocated $4 million for the final rhyming couplet, $52 million to insert hyphens into the word 'tomorrow' so it reads 'to-morrow,' $7.45 for a used copy of John Keats' Selected Poems for ideas and inspiration, and $450 million for a simile likening human fate to the wind. Some experts, however, say the poem is already at risk of going over budget, citing the soaring $5,000-per-square-inch cost of vellum, and an ambitious but perhaps ill-conceived $135 million undertaking to make the word 'owl' rhyme with 'soul.' 'We've already put 200 hours of manpower into the semicolon at the end of the first stanza,' said Charles Simic, poet laureate of the United States and head author of the still- untitled piece. 'And I've got my best guys working around the clock to convert all the 'overs' in the piece into one-syllable 'o'ers.' I got [Nobel Prize winner Seamus] Heaney and [Margaret] Atwood stripping all the V's and tacking apostrophes in their place. It's grunt work, but somebody's got to do it if this poem's going to get done.' Gioia denied allegations that the poem is being mismanaged, claiming that he has implemented several measures to keep the project on schedule, including giving no more than two words to each poet, limiting alliteration and assonance to a maximum of three words per line, cutting out all extraneous allusions to Eliot and Yeats, and restricting any unwieldy metaphors hinting at the vast alienation of modernity. Although the poem is still in the early stages of construction, it has already come under fire for serious structural issues, including a shaky foundation and a half-dozen partial synecdoches. 'This poem is an eyesore,' said literary critic Stanley Fish. 'The whole right side of the verse is barely being held up by a load-bearing enjambment, and it seems as if they just sloppily patched up all the holes in the piece with plagiarized Rod McKuen passages.' In addition, the tenuous line that was being drawn between the narrator's mortality and winter unexpectedly collapsed on itself Monday. Two poets were killed in the incident. 'Sure, some of the imagery might be beautiful, but is this poem actually going to be useful?' Fish said. 'Or are people just going to look at it and go, 'Huh. Interesting.' Why not put this money toward something everybody can enjoy, like a TV pilot or a New Yorker cartoon caption?' 'The government needs to stop throwing billions of dollars at the arts,' he added. Fish cautioned that previous attempts to funnel money into poetry had been cut short before they were fully completed, resulting in the large number of unfinished, million-dollar poems that are still lying unread across the country to this day. 
3	Human Rights Watch Conducted a Biased Investigation for the School Bombing in IdlibBy Mehmet Ersoy According to the report, on October 26, the school was hit by two Su-24 jets used by the Syrian and Russian AFs. Citing some witnesses, the organization claims the jets dropped from 7 to 9 parachute bombs on the school and nearby road. It says no military facilities were in the school or by it and all the casualties were among civilians. It should be noted that, based on HRWs report, the Western media went off blaming Assad and his allies for murdering civilians. The artificial information hysteria even forced UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to make a hasty loud statement on military crimes in Idlib. In its turn, the next day only the Russian side could provide sound evidence of the fact that the Syrian aviation and its allies had nothing to do with the attack on the school in Hassa. Inside Syria Media Center would like to look into the matter. In its report, HRW quotes some phone interviews with the witnesses. We attempted to contact the organizations press desk but the human rights activists refused to provide details on the persons involved in the report. In the conversation, HRW claimed the video in their report could be used as the real evidence. However, its quite arguable. A doubtful video footage (https://youtu.be/XuMMByJb_1E) The footage of an anti-governmental channel Revolutionary Forces of Syria Media Office published in the HRW report shows an airstrike, but its hard to distinguish the exact place of the accident. The analysis of this video makes it clear that the international human rights organization takes into consideration only one side of the Syrian conflict, i.e. the armed oppositions militants. At the same time, it almost ignored the arguments of the other side of the conflict and marked them as untenable. In addition, the photos published in the media clearly show that just one wall is damaged and all the tables still standing. Moreover, not a single picture has any sign of people killed. Besides, in its report, the organization provided no evidence of the presence of children both in the school and in Hassa village. Its not a secret that since Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (former Jabhat al-Nusra) came to Idlib province, local schools stopped functioning. Thus, HRWs report mostly includes ungrounded evidence of bogus airstrikes witnesses and doubtful photos and video footage. Human Rights watch seems to have taken a biased approach towards the investigation instead of performing its direct duty to protect the rights of civilians in Syria. HRW is obviously carrying out an information campaign on behalf of the Syrian opposition as the infamous White Helmets do. Mehmet Ersoy is a journalist for Inside Syria Media Center. His work has also been published at Global Research and Ekurd Daily. Image Credit We already know the synagogue owns the (antichrist), U.N. as it did the league of nations before it. We further know the Judas Class /kosher media is owned and operated by same. Now we can add yet another benevolent intl organization to that foul list of people/organizations/nations who have surrendered their God,souls, nations, people to the synagogue for a mere 30 pieces of silver. Where are all the expert Generals who can back this attack with a military plane and compare the same attack with one of their bombs. Can they compare the bombing of Gaza by Israel and show us how the table and chairs never got damaged and is that a pile of sand directly behind the blown out wall as thats what it looks like covering the legs of the desk. So the bombs took the wall out , but managed to leave the desk and chairs upright with some dust on them. Human Rats Watch is a tool of the zionist hegemons 
2	Liberal Trash Spits In Soldiers Face But Then Something Amazing Happened According to recent reports, a 35-year-old Syracuse woman was recently arrested and charged after spitting in a soldiers face at the Hancock International Airport. The Fort Drum soldier reported the incident, which was witnessed by another soldier. Lauren Maggi was charged with second degree harassment following the confrontation, which was unprovoked. 21-year-old soldier Jason Jones reports that the woman approached him at the United Airlines ticket counter, asked if her was a Fort Drum soldier and proceeded to spit in his face. What do you think? Should Maggi be punished to the full extent of the law?

2	White House In Panic Mode After Obamas Kenyan Grandma Accidentally Leaked These Old Photos A new Obama family photograph has surfaced and is raising some serious questions about the Presidents true background and upbringing. The controversial picture is of Obamas grandmother, reportedly on a holy Islamic pilgrimage known as Umrah. In the photograph, Sara Omar is seen surrounded by Muslim brethren. The pilgrimage involved visiting Makkah, one of the holiest cities in Islam. Omar, who is in her 90s, arrived in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, with her son Saeed Obama, uncle to the U.S. president, and grandson Mousa, confirms Al Arabiya News. After finishing Umrah, she visited an exhibition about the life of the Prophet Muhammad. I am very happy to visit this exhibition, which is a good example for propagation of Islam in a modern way, supported by scientific and authentic documents, Omar reportedly told the news reporter. This is just one of the questionable relatives belonging to President Barack Obama. Do you agree that he cannot be trusted? 
3	Will Popular Marijuana Strains Become Like Fine Wines?By Steven Maxwell Im old enough to remember when good marijuana was rare and called kine buds. Kinecomes from Hawaiian pigeon speak for the good kind. Since Hawaii has had a long love affair with potent pakalolo (crazy smoke), with strains like Maui Waui becoming world famous, kinebecame universal slang for the good weed even for a teenager like me in the 1990s in Connecticut. Brick weed of unknown origin was much more common in those days. As the legalization of cannabisexpands, so does the knowledge of the best strains and their effects. Today brick weed is all but extinct in the United States while genetic strains of cannabis are becoming very sophisticated. Crowd sourcing experiences may prove more accurate than clinical studies could ever be. Sites like Leafly and others have curated thousands of experiences about how different strains and doses of cannabis affect people. Although marijuana effects seem to be unique for each individual, much like various alcohol drinks are, some common traits are identifiable. In a previous article, I described the generaldifferences between sativa and indica strains. Sativa has a more energetic, heady and creative effect, while indica is more pain-relieving and sleep-inducing. But like fine wines, there are subtleties to consider. Some strains are bred to maximize output of flowers with compounds like tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the primary mind-altering ingredient in cannabis. While other strains are bred to limit the THC and emphasize other beneficial compounds to help children cope with debilitating illnesses. Charlottes Web is a notable low-THC strain produced to reduce seizures in kids without getting them high. Watch this brief clip of CNNs special Weed about the people behind Charlottes web: There are 5 major cannabinoidsTHC, CBD, CBN, CBC and CBG. Each strain of marijuana has a different composition of these cannabinoids in order to achieve different effects.Clever botanists then deliberately breed strains to optimize certain traits and features. Original genetic strains of cannabis are called Landraces. They are the Holy Grail for strain hunters and breeders who will go to great lengths to acquire them. The short film below follows cannabis breeding legend, Arjan Roskam, and his crew of strain hunters in Colombia to look for three of the countrys rarest types of weed, strains that have remained genetically pure for decades. Landraces have been bred together to create some world-renowned strains likeWhite Widowwhich is 60% South Indian indica and 40% Brazilian sativa and boasts 20-22% THC. The name White Widow refers to how the strains huge colas become snow covered with white crystal trichomes towards the end of their flowering period.White Widow has since spawned many other popular strains like White Russian, White Rhino, and Blue Widow. Highly tailored cannabis strains are beginning to resemble fine wine whereby the richness is found in the varying scents, flavors, sensations, origin stories and growing method. Even name brands are beginning to take shape with celebrity brands leading the charge. Music legend and longtime defender of marijuana, Willie Nelson, has launched a premium quality brand called Willies Reserve which sells multiple strains in elegant packaging. Will Willies Reserve White Widow become comparable toRobert Mondavi Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon? Blunt-smoking Snoop Dogg has gotten into the action with his brandLeafs By Snoop. Singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridgelaunched a cannabis-infused wine tincture Private Reserve. Whats more, the day job of the current Libertarian presidential candidate, Gary Johnson, whos polling in double-digits against Clinton and Trump, is the president and CEO of Cannabis Sativa Inc. The publicly traded company focuses on high-quality cannabis products and public policy. With corporate green fever heating up, some people are worried that agriculture giants like Monsanto will bully their way into the market andcreate a mutant GMO weed to compete with organic and heirloom strains. Ultimately, the competition in a legal recreational market will likely bring a rush of new kine buds.Move over wine snobs, make room for the cannabis connoisseurs. Steven Maxwell writes for selfnews Post. The article is open source and can be reproduced in full with attribution. Excellent information about marijuana and its pain-relieving properties. Like most people, and not using the product, I knew very little about it. I just didnt like the smell of it, and had no use for it. Now I can appreciate that its use is of great benefit to people suffering from intolerable pain, and they should be allowed legal use of it. You might want to review the articles infographic showing the prophylactic health benefits of recreational weed, dopehead. Lets hope the wine snobbery part of it and the higher prices because of a great looking label syndrome doesnt happen either. As a lifelong stonerI mean cannabis aficionado that grew up here in Washington state and whos also had a MMJ card for quite a spell as well, I admit it.were spoiled here. Like the states fine wines that are produced in vineyards that are mostly in the dry eastern part of the state, theres so many different strains thatre grown everywhere that for the past couple of years Ive never bought the same kind twice in a row. No matter how good it was. Where if I find a good wine that tastes like I like it to Im more apt to practice a little more brand loyalty and continue to buy it as long as I can find it. But when top shelf cannabis is going for less than $150 per ounce (if you know where to find it) where as the recreational retail store are much morecost prohibitive (IMO) though many coming from other areas of the US where its still illegal would think this place to be stoner heaven even in the recreational retail stores. Anyway, the last MMJ Farmers Market I went to there was several premium ounces of home produced cannabis for $100 an ounce and on up to about $150 for their best. Concentrates and medibles were everywhere and were also reasonably priced. My favorite new thing?? Screw on vapor cartridges onto an e-cig battery that hold anywhere from a half to a full gram of premium cannabis oil thats strain specific. Whatever you want. Theres many different vendors with several different looking cartridges with that honey colored cannabis oil that usually runs 50% THC and up and usually up. The Afgoo cart I bought last tested at 67% and man is that some tasty stuff. Its hassle free especially where a pipe wouldnt or couldnt be used and its discreet too as theres very little smell. Prices run anywhere from $25 a piece on up towards $45 for a specific vendors product and last a lot longer than the same amount of similarly priced flower. Yep, life is good for the cannabis connoisseur here in the evergreen state The rocky moutains arent all rocks. 
1	Gathering in large groups and vociferously chanting expletive-filled songs in support of their favorite players, several groups of rival PGA hooligans violently clashed at the Augusta National Golf Club during the final round of the Masters Sunday, sources confirmed. Theyre here every tournament waving banners and inciting trouble all over the course, but this years fights were particularly bad, Augusta chairman Billy Payne told reporters, noting that the roving bands of die-hard golf enthusiasts left a trail of mayhem that included throwing garbage cans through the Augusta pro shop windows, overturning several ball washers and setting them on fire, and leaving various unfilled divots throughout the course. Early in the day on the fifth hole, a group of Stewart Cink supporters tangled with some of the McIlroy Boys in a nasty brawl that spilled out from the gallery onto the green. Then someone from the Furyk Crew chucked a lit flare at Vijay Singhs caddy, and at that point we just had to suspend play and call in the paddy wagon. According to officials, this years fights were the worst since a vicious melee at the 2009 Masters in which dozens of berserk, intoxicated hooligans swarmed and savagely beat a defenseless Phil Mickelson into a coma. 
2	ISIS Hackers Release KillAccording to recent reports, a group of hackers affiliated with ISIS posted wanted to be killed lists using social media on Saturday. The list included the names of current and former U.S. government officials. The hackers are part of a group calling themselves the Islamic State Cyber Army. They claim that the list they published includes the names and addresses of people who have worked for the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, the FBI, the CIA, the National Counterterrorism Center, the Nation Guard and other American agencies. They also included a separate list of names, addresses and pictures that they claim are U.S. military personnel who have served in Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq and Afghanistan. Weve seen moves like this before. In August, ISIS social media accounts called on supporters to carry out lone wolf attacks against American soldiers. At that time, they released the personal details of hundreds of U.S. military personnel and government employees. Authorities have reviewed the named and addresses, and have been able to see that at least some of them were previously posted online. They believe that this indicates that the hackers are recompiling already-available information. The lists are believed to be retaliation for a recent Anonymous attack that targeted and effectively shut down ISIS-affiliated Twitter accounts and online forums. We will spy on you and leak your (information) and take your money, a video posted to the Twitter account (which has now been suspended) stated. Yours and your families information and secrets are not secure anymore. What do you think of the new posts? Does Obama need to take action to protect the lives of those who have served our country?

3	Agenda 2030: Bankrupting the Third World, One Country at a TimeBy Rusticus Agenda 2030 is set to take the subjugation of Africa to previously unimagined heights, with the rest of the Third World to follow shortly thereafter. I contend that we are the first race in the world, and that the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for the human raceIf there be a God, I think that what he would like me to do is paint as much of the map of Africa British Red as possible. Cecil J. Rhodes While the true scope and depravity held in store for Africa at COP21 wont be known to us until later this year, at least one nation, Ghana, has submitted its draft budget to the United Nations in advance of the Conference. The projected cost figure, if accurate, would be the next in a long chain of abuses against Ghana by Globalistentities like the IMF and multinational corporations alike. Ghana finds itself precariously situated between the geopolitical aims of two power factions on the 2D Chessboard in the form of the Anglo-American Establishment and China. American colonization of Ghanaby corporate entities and NGOs, draping themselves in the facade of benevolence,have a consistent track-record of introducing eugenic experiments in the region, often maskedas philanthropy; feeding the hungry and healing the sick are the constant clarion calls of these wolves in sheeps clothing. Monsanto is one such example. Long known by alternative media readers as the developers of deadly GMO frankenfoods like Golden Rice, Africa is a favorite dumping ground for beta testing these biotechnologies. Perhaps because of the Power Elites intense hatred for the worlds non-white peoples, perhaps as a gambit to blanket the continent in patented seeds, thereby owning the land itself, Monsantos insidious activity in Africa has not left Ghana unscathed. Earlier this year, Ghana was the target of a new set of draconian G7 regulations set to outlaw seed sharing. Known colloquially as the Monsanto Law, the billis endemic ofAgenda 21s planned control of land use and agriculture. In addition to GMOs, the Anglo-American Establishment has foist upon Ghana another lab-created eugenic tool: Vaccines coded for race. This issue, recentlybrought to the House floor by Rep. Bill Posey of Florida, was once was constrained to the realm of science fiction; this is no longer the case,as the use of vaccines as race-specific bioweapons has now been enumerated upon by Congressmen and CDC whistleblowers alike. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, virtually synonymous with vaccines in the Third World, have also been hard at work thinning the herd in Ghana; the same Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation that is now under criminal investigation for experimenting with vaccines on children in tribal populationswithout their consent. The world today has 6.8 billion people thats headed up to about 9 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. Bill Gates on depopulatingthe Third World As previously mentioned, the Anglo-American Establishment is not the only group with imperialistic aims in Ghana, as Chinas underground network of mines blanketing the nation, most notably those satiating her voracious appetite for gold, have brought hellish working conditions for Ghanas native populace: It is uponthis backdrop one of Ghana being tossed about like a rag doll in the world of international power politics that the Neomalthusian sustainable development requirements of Agenda 2030 come to the small African nation. Care to guess how much this Tehnocratic revamp of Ghana will cost? A whopping $22.6 BILLION, a grotesquely overvalued figure which the United Nations knows perfectly well Ghana will never be able to afford, as even the globalist World Bank admits the funds required would drain a significant percentage of Ghanas entire GDP: 58.5% of Ghanas GDP, to be precise. As other Third World nations begin to update their proposals ahead of COP21, expect similar quotes on the debt burden these already impoverished nations will be required to shoulder. It remains to be seen what the character of the public-private partnership mentioned above will be in Ghana, but the resource-rich, salary-deprived nation has a plethora of options. American biotech firms? Chinese infrastructure companies? A hefty loan from the IMF, or the BRICS New Development Bank, perchance? All of the above is perhaps the greatest threat to Ghana and, unfortunately, the most likely outcome if proponents of global governance have their way: If you enjoyed this article, please consider a small donation! -Rusticus 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.

2	This Is Racism, No Whites Allowed Assembly At Chicago Area High School If you looked around, you would think that America had gone back in history. According to reports, a Chicago area high school just crossed the line when they organized a NO WHITES ALLOWED school assembly. Nathaniel Rouse, principal of River Forest and Oak Park High School in Illinois, has come under serious fire for organizing a Black Lives Matter event that excluded white students. The white parents reported that their students were turned away when they tried to attend the Black Lives Matter event, the Chicago Tribune reports. The parents said they were offended that in a school and community that prides itself on diversity and inclusion that students who wanted to attend would be excluded. The hypocrisy in the move is pretty remarkable here, and Rouse did not back down in a statement he made to the public. First and foremost, this is not meant to give a connotation that we were trying to be exclusive, principal Rouse commented. I found it has been far easier for me to talk about my experiences with racism with individuals that look like me. I still struggle myself with talking about my experiences with people who dont look like me. Andthat is supposedly not racist? The school stated that further conversations among and across other racial affinity groups will take place in the coming month. What do you think? Is this absolutely unacceptable? 
1	Offering mothers and fathers a greater degree of control than ever over their babys development in utero, UCLA scientists announced a new procedure Wednesday that gives parents the ability to select the sexiness of their child. Previously, the sexiness of a child was just a matter of chance, but now, parents will be able to choose how smoking hot their baby will be at the very beginning of their pregnancy, said lead researcher Lydia Jarrett, adding that while ultrasounds have long been able to provide couples with a glimpse of their childs sexiness, the new procedure, for the first time, allows them to decide whether their baby will be a mini studmuffin or a white-hot baby bombshell. Many parents dont want to have to guess how totally fine their newborn will be; they want to be able to make a decision and prepare for the birth of their little hottie or baby beefcake. This procedure puts their minds at ease and gives them a full nine months to stock up on all the teeny-tiny skirts and designer baby jeans theyll need to show off their pint-sized sex bomb. Jarrett added that parents who wanted to be surprised by the sexiness of their child were still free to wait until the baby was born to find out its level of pure animal magnetism. 
1	While delivering his concession speech at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center Tuesday night, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney uttered the 240,000th and final lie of his 2012 campaign when he offered his sincere congratulations to President Barack Obama. This has been a hard-fought and closely contested campaign, and while weve had our share of disagreements, there has always been a great deal of respect and admiration between myself and the president, said Romney, concluding 17 months worth of manipulative falsehoods, half-truths, and outright fabrications with one last bald-faced lie. Tonight, the American people made their voices heard. And now I urge every one of my supporters to set aside their differences with my opponent and join me in standing behind our president, so that we all may come together in a spirit of understanding and cooperation to build a better America. Romney then concluded his speech by expressing his thanks for the tireless efforts of his campaign team, marking the 12th and final true statement of his nearly six-year-long White House run.

Candidly, I dont remember a time in my life when my parents and my family werent being attacked, and so it just sort of seems to be in that tradition, unfortunately, Chelsea later commented in an interview with Cosmopolitan. And what I find most troubling by far areTrumps continued, relentless attacks on whole swaths of our country and even our global community: women, Muslims, Americans with disabilities, a Gold Star family, she continued. I mean, that, to me, is far more troubling than whatever his most recent screed against my mom or my family [is]. Thats an interesting assertion, given that Bill Clinton is up against numerous sexual harassment allegations. Theres a very good reason for thisyour parents are not good people, Broaddrick tweeted. Your father was, and probably still is, a sexual predator. Your mother has always lied and covered up for him. I say again, I was 35 when Bill Clinton raped me and Hillary tried to silence me. I am now 73. It never goes away, she added. The truth is what has brought the attacks on your family and you are smart enough to know that by now. What do you think of Broaddricks comments? 
1	Former president George Bush issued an apology to his son Monday for advocating the CIA's mid-'80s funding of Osama bin Laden, who at the time was resisting the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. 'I'm sorry, son,' Bush told President George W. Bush. 'We thought it was a good idea at the time because he was part of a group fighting communism in Central Asia. We called them 'freedom fighters' back then. I know it sounds weird. You sort of had to be there.' Bush is still deliberating over whether to tell his son about the whole supporting-Saddam Hussein-against-Iran thing. 
3	Homeless People in US Deported to CampsAnonymous 
1	Unhindered by a curfew and free from parental oversight, freshman Phil Melton, 18, spent his first night of independence Saturday inside his Pennsylvania State University dorm room and was asleep by 11:45 p.m. After driving with his mother and father from their home in Carnegie, PA to the 43,000-student college, Melton carried his personal belongings into his new dormitory and said goodbye to his parents, who then returned to Carnegie without him. Thus released from the rules and restrictions that had been imposed on him since birth, Melton unpacked and set up his computer, spent an hour IM-ing with friends from home, checked the schedule for his upcoming orientation four times, and watched two episodes of South Park he had previously downloaded off the Internet. 'College is going to be awesome,' Melton said moments after threading the wires of his computer speakers through the hole in his new desk and sending a message from his personal e-mail account to his school e-mail 'just to make sure' the new address was active. Although Melton had not yet met his new roommate, whose belongings were already stacked beside the other bed by the time he arrived, the probable biology major said he is confident the two will get along and maybe even attend a few campus parties together. 'As long as he's up for anything, we'll get along great,' said Melton, taking a break from a sixth consecutive game of Minesweeper. 'And it looks like he brought a microwave. Cool.' Utterly free to mingle with fellow incoming students in the Student Union or attend any of the numerous Welcome Freshmen activities being held across campus until the wee hours of the morning, Melton opted to leave his fifth-floor dormitory room only once, at approximately 9:15 p.m., when he entered the hallway and positioned a dry erase board on his door. Melton reportedly then gazed down the corridor, waved at a fellow student entering the hall bathrooms, drew a smiley face on the board, and retreated back inside before shutting and locking the door. 'I think I'll loft my bed,' said Melton, making the brash decorating choice without first consulting his parents or anyone else. 'I can put my desk under it, and then we'll have more room to put in a couch or maybe a few chairs for when we have people over here to play video games or whatever.' Added Melton, 'I better just go ahead and hook up the TV and the Playstation now.' For nearly two decades, Melton lived according to the whim of his parents, Jeanne and Thomas Melton, who did not once allow their son to funnel an entire beer into his stomach, blow off classes to play football in the quad, try smoking a hookah, or have sexual relations with a woman he barely knows. Within hours arriving on Penn State's campus, however, Melton had already spent 15 minutes running his Ethernet cord behind his bed and decided to leave the bottom drawer of his dresser empty in order to use it as a make-shift pantry for cereal and other nonperishable foods. Dr. Dennis Misercola, a psychologist at Penn State's student health center, said experimentation during the first few months of college is not uncommon, and can help a student make a healthy transition into newfound independence. 'New freshmen like Phil must push their boundaries in order to learn their own limitations and begin establishing an identity separate from their parents,' Dr. Misercola said. 'It's perfectly natural for an 18-year-old man who is getting his first taste of freedom to experiment with various poster arrangements or consume in one sitting an entire box of Golden Grahams, which his mother never bought because she said they were too sugary. He may even act out by waiting three whole days before calling his parents to ask how the family dog is doing.' After sleeping soundly for 10 hours and then not taking a shower, Melton is expected to leave his dorm room for the first time since moving in to walk directly to the building's cafeteria. Once there, he will likely eat a breakfast of hash browns and soft-serve ice cream and meet the two guys he will hang out with for the next four years. 
3	Texas Ban On Fracking Bans Proves Industry Money Talks and Residents WalkBy Claire Bernish Having fought against all odds with a tireless grassroots campaign, in a state famous (infamous?) for its fossil fuel industry, the town of Denton managed to pass an anti-fracking ordinance late last November, a feat which garnered international attention. However, Dentonwas promptly sued by the Texas General Land Office and Texas Oil Gas Association. That lawsuit, however, did not appear to have firm footing, so the industry took matters into more powerful hands and used its powerful political sway to wield a legislative weapon instead. Earthjustice attorney, Deborah Goldberg, who successfully defended a similar case in Dryden, NY, explained, The Texas courts have upheld a long tradition of local control, so the Governor and the Legislature took matters into their own hands. Now, they have capitulated to the greedy but powerful oil and gas industry at the expense of their own constituents health, well-being, and property rights. Apparently, the governor has the concept of private property rights confused with fossil fuel industry predominance. In a statement about the new law, he said, HB 40 does a profound job of helping to protect private property rights here in the State of Texas, ensuring those who own their own property will not have the heavy hand of local regulation deprive them of their rights. Though HB40, which was written by former ExxonMobil lawyer Shannon Ratliff, applies statewide, its transparency as a direct response to Dentons efforts to ban fracking is virtually indisputable particularly given the towns location atop the Barnett Shale, one of the largest natural gas reserves in the country. HB 40 was written by the oil and gas industry, for the oil and gas industry, to prevent voters from holding the oil and gas industry accountable for its impacts, said Sharon Wilson of Earthworks Texas who had helped with the towns original ban. She added, It was the oil and gas industrys contempt for impacted residents that pushed Denton voters to ban fracking in the first place. And now the oil and gas industry, through state lawmakers, has doubled down by showing every city in Texas that same contempt. Fracking is the only industry permitted to operate within city limits, and besides the nuisance of noise, there is mounting evidence to support claims that toxic chemicals from wastewater injection make their way into the drinking supply. A recent USGS study confirmed this process causes earthquakes, and risk maps had to be adjusted to account for these human-induced tremors. Though the law is a clear victory for the bully, the town of Denton remains proud of their accomplishment, and hasnt lost all hope. As Goldberg explained, We have been proud to represent the proponents of Dentons ban, and we know they will regroup and fight back against this legislative overreach. The people of Denton exercised their democratic right to keep a nasty industrial process out of their communityand now big oil and their friends in high places are steamrolling them, along with everyone else in Texas, said Natural Resources Defense Counsel attorney Dan Raichel. The interests of a powerful industry should never take priority over the health and safety of American families. Texans should be able to keep dangerous activities and chemicals away from their homes, schools, and hospitals just as hundreds of other communities across the country have already done.

2	What Pope Francis Just Said About Muslims Will Make You FURIOUS Well, this is completely outrageous. According to recent reports, Pope Francis just made the wild claim that the current refugee crisis in Europe will bring peace to the world. Today we can talk about an Arab invasion, he told an audience of French Christians. It is a social fact. He went on to explain that the arrival of migrants, and particularly of those from Syria and Iraq, need to be viewed from a wider perspective. He went on to argue that Europe will go forward and find itself enhanced by the exchange among cultures. This, he concluded, will give Europe the opportunity to bring about a certain unity to the world. What he fails to acknowledge, however, is that many of these migrants have little to no desire to assimilate to Western culture. Or even respect it, for that matter. What do you think of Pope Francis comments? 
3	Legendary Spoken Word Poet Has Kickstarter for New AlbumKickStarter 
1	A spokesman for the Windermere Police Department told reporters Thursday that investigators have gathered enough weird-ass evidence to officially classify Tiger Woods' recent car accident as pretty fucking strange. 'The only thing we know for sure is that at 2:25 a.m. Friday morning Mr. Woods crashed his Cadillac Escalade into a fire hydrant and tree at the end of his own driveway,' Police Chief Daniel Saylor said during a press briefing. 'After that, the account becomes confused. We are unsure if Woods was leaving the driveway or arriving at it, which is rather unusual. At some point Woods' wife, Elin [Nordegren], seems to have struck the car with a golf club, which is pretty bizarre. And she states that she did this to break the rear window and extract Mr. Woods from the vehicle, which, the longer you think about it, is some freaking weird shit.' 'All thisalong with the fact that when we arrived on the scene the world's No.1 golfer had suffered facial lacerations not necessarily caused by a car accident, had been slipping in and out of consciousness for nearly five minutes, and lay on the ground as his wife stood over his bloody body holding a 7-ironis really fucked up,' Saylor added. 'But don't get me wrong: It's also really weird. Really fucking weird. Ultimately, our report will treat these matters as both fucked up and weird-ass.' Saylor said that as the investigation proceeds, and even more odd-as-hell details are uncovered, a super-fucked-up and mega-bizarre picture could emerge, especially if there is evidence to substantiate the rumors that Woods sent salacious text messages to a Los Angeles cocktail waitress. When asked if there was anything weird or fucked up in Woods' bloodstream at the time of the crash, medical investigator Henry Tolliver stated that the accident was not alcohol related. Tolliver also noted that, while it would have been slightly fucked if Woods had driven while intoxicated, the fact that his blood-alcohol level was within the legal limit adds a whole new layer of what-the-fuck to the ongoing investigation. 'Mr. Woods being drunk would have been the only sensible thing in this case,' Tolliver said. Other crazy-ass pieces of information, including Woods' refusal to speak to the media, his cryptic postcrash statement admitting to 'transgressions,' and the accusations that the accident stemmed from Woods' alleged extramarital affairs, have been filed by Florida police as 'Quite fucking odd,' 'Kind of creepy,' and 'It's probably none of our business but it's so goddamn weird that we couldn't ignore it if we tried.' Though he could not confirm or deny recent crazy-as-all-hell reports that Woods shouted 'You've ruined our Thanksgiving' before exiting his home, Saylor said that such a thing even being a matter of interest indicates just how completely messed up the mounting evidence is. 'The domestic component alone has forced us to use a TFB unit,' said Detective Sidney Goldberg, referring to officers who have been assigned to the Truly Fucking Bizarre portion of the investigation. 'They have a very difficult job to do because in a case with as much ridiculous shit as this one, every off-the-wall scenario has to be explored, even the just-sort-of fucked-up ones.' According to Goldberg, the TFB unit will investigate the weird-ass possibility that Nordegren beat her husband and threatened him with a goddamned golf club. It will also explore the batshit insane prospect that an impassioned Nordegren purposefully placed herself in the path of the moving Cadillac, thus forcing Woods to swerve violently out of the way. 'Also, we have to look into recent allegations that Woods left a voice mail requesting that one of his mistresses delete his number from her phone,' Goldeberg said. 'Just so fucking weird.' Goldberg has assigned the TFB's forensic investigators to do a complete Batshit Bizzarro-Universe Accident Scene Reconstruction, which will take samples of the paint scrapings on Woods' Cadillac, measure the skid marks on the driveway, catalog and number the fucked-up golf-club dents in the car's bodywork, and use powerful computers to reconstruct the strange-ass accident using digital simulations. 'It's possible the computer will show us that a golf club ejected itself from the vehicle during the crash, bounced off the surrounding trees, and struck the outside of Woods' vehicle several times,' Goldberg said. 'That's no more weird-ass than the other theories people have come up with, especially the ones we saw when we used the computer to check TMZ.com.' Detective Tolliver admitted that he himself was having trouble getting over just how bizarro the whole thing really is. 'In this case you've got Tiger Woodsthe man with the most squeaky-clean image in all of sportspossibly participating in romantic dalliances with random women despite the fact that he is already married to one of the most beautiful women in the world. And none of this would have ever surfaced had he not crashed his car Friday morning,' Tolliver said. 'Come on, that's just plain-ass weird.' 'I guess the only thing more outrageous is that this has been a major news item for over a week, and that people feel like they are entitled to know the private details of public figures' lives,' Tolliver continued. 'No matter which way you shake it, that's fucking nuts.' 
2	What Texas RoadHouse Just Did For 4 Marines Is Going Viral In a world where most businesses are going overboard trying to be politically correct, its nice to see a business standing up for what they believe in and paying tribute to the things that truly matter. According to recent reports, the Texas Roadhouse in Chattanooga, TN recently set a table for the four Marines killed in this weeks shooting. The symbolic gesture was meant to pay respects to the family of the victims. The restaurant posted the picture on their Facebook page with the message: Our Chattanooga Texas Roadhouse family would like to offer our deepest condolences to the families of our fallen Marines. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. What do you think of this restaurants outreach? Does our country need more of this? 
1	Calling it the ultimate combination of freshness, value, and convenience, local fast food chain Sunshine Burger announced that, beginning this week, its regular drive-thru windows would be replaced by a cow carcass and a bucket for money set out in each stores parking lot. Our new drive-thru option is quick and easy: Simply pull up alongside the dead cow, hack off as much as you want using the provided cleaver, dump some cash in the bucket, and be on your way, said Sunshine Burger director of marketing Deborah Singer, noting that customers who desired a beverage would be allowed to place their mouth around a nearby hose of continuously flowing corn syrup. And dont forget to plunge your hacked-off chunks of meat into one of the three dunking holes weve cut into the asphalt, which are filled with our mouthwatering barbecue, honey mustard, and ranch dipping sauces. Restaurant officials confirmed that during breakfast hours, customers would also have the option of reaching inside a pig carcass and pulling out a length of raw intestine. 
1	Volunteers at the Helping Heart Crisis Hotline announced Tuesday that Candice Knoff, 25, is on the phone with her attention-starved ex-boyfriend Tony Hewitt again. 'Tony always calls right after he runs into Candy on the street,' said Jeanne Teal, one of Knoff's coworkers. 'He spends an hour going on and on about how he's been so depressed ever since they broke up, even though it's been like a year. I can always tell it's him, because Candy'll be over there rolling her eyes the entire call.' According to the other volunteers, Hewitt has called the hotline at least once a week for the past year, except in March and April when he was dating a waitress he met in Olympia. 
1	After being asked to speak about his experience fighting in the war in Afghanistan on Tuesday, U.S. Army veteran Jackson Richards solemnly recalled an episode when, during a five-year period immediately following his return to the United States, his whole platoon was murdered by undiagnosed post-traumatic stress disorder. Right from the beginning, you could tell things were looking bad; it was clear some of us werent going to make it out alive, said the 26-year-old lieutenant, his voice trembling as he described how each of his friends was psychologically tortured, shot, or hanged during the 264-week-long ordeal. The worst was the constant sense of fear and dread, not knowing when the enemy was going to creep up and strike while your kids were at school. Richards added that he is always happy to answer questions about the war, since he is constantly reliving his experiences over and over in his head. 
3	Syrian Parliamentary Election Results Disprove Western Claims Of Alawite DictatorshipBy Brandon Turbeville Despite claims by Western governments and corporate media outlets that the Syrian government is led by Assads Alawite clan and that both minorities and majorities are excluded and persecuted, the truth is that Syria and its government are pluralistic and multifaceted. This has been widely known amongst genuine researchers and those not wedded to the NATO imperialist agenda for some time. Still, such knowledge has been obfuscated and largely hidden by a mass media machine intent on promoting inaccurate views of Syrian society for the purposes of justifying Western intervention under the guise of Responsibility to Protect. Nevertheless, if the Syrian government was truly led by a sectarian Alawite, and Alawites ruled the country in an authoritarian manner, then surely the sectarian Alawites cabinet and Syrias Parliament would be made up of Alawites, right? Surely, the majority would be excluded from positions of power. That is indeed the presentation that the Western corporate media would have its audience believe. However, the recent Syrian Parliamentary elections have crushed those claims mightily whenever one takes the time to look at the religious affiliations of the members of the Parliament who won positions in the government during this last round of voting. Indeed, the results of the Syrian elections do not show a religious minority controlling the government but a rather predictable and accurate sampling of the geographic areas taking part in the voting process. In other words, the elections yielded results that are an accurate representation of Syrian diversity with the majority religion taking the majority of votes in the given districts. Still, the majority did not always win out, as is evidenced by the fact that, even in Sunni-dominated areas, Christians and Shiites were able to win seats as well. Ziad Fadel of Syrian Perspective provides a list of Syrian politicians who were victorious in the recent elections, along with their religious affiliations. One need only take a cursory look at the results to see that, if the Syrian government is an Alawite dictatorship, it is the most poorly constructed religious dictatorship in history. Either that, or the Western press is wholeheartedly lying. Personally, any observer would be well advised to put his money on the latter. Below is the list of victorious Syrian politicians as provided by Syrian Perspective.

2	These States Banning Together To Make English The Official Language Although there are doubts about whether any official language of the United States will ever be officially recognized, states continue to push the matter. For example, in West Virginia, a bill was introduced that would stop any government agency from being required to print documents in any language other than English. Pennsylvania is considering an English bill with common exemptions from the requirement to employ English from things like public safety and foreign language instruction. And in fact, 31 states in total have some type of law that denotes English their official language. The latest to join the movement are Michigan, New Jersey, and New York. The movement is controversial, as some deem that the measures are discriminatory. However, those in support of the law claim that a common language is best for the American people. What do you think? Should English be our official language? 
2	Welfare Abuser Buys Lobster With Food Stamps So The State Of Missouri Does Something AMAZING According to recent repots, Missouri Republican Rick Brattin has just sponsored House Bill 813legistlation that would ban using taxpayer dollars to buy cookies, chips, energy drinks, soft drinks, seafood or steak. It is an adjustment from the current system, which currently allows Welfare uses to spend food stamps on anything with a nutrition label. As it stands, weve heard numerous stories of Americans on the system abusing it for their own selfish needs. Programs that were originally designed to help people in need while they searched for employment are being abused as a way of life or to avoid any responsibility. The intention of the bill is to get the food stamp program back to its original intent, which is nutritional assistance, Brattin told reporters. My intention wasnt to get rid of canned tuna and fish sticks. Brattin admits that the bill could use some refining, but claims that people are abusing the system with their purchases of luxury foods. He wants to put a stop to that, even if it eliminates some other options in the process. What do you think of Bill 813? Do you support limiting what welfare users can purchase with their food stamps? 
2	Black Teen Guns Down Unarmed White Man [VIDEO] In the riots and protests following the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, hands up, dont shoot has become a rallying cry of sortseven though its a false indication of what actually happened the day he died. Even the Washington Post pointed out four major flaws in the slogan, yet it continues to be repeated by protesters, liberals, and race-baiters alike. In a recent piece, Jonathan Capehart, a Liberal Post columnist, wrote a piece expressing his regret for supporting the hands up, dont shoot slogan at one point during the efforts. As an African-American, Capehart has received backlash for his article. Still, we understand the power behind the slogan. If the story were true, it would be a powerful one, right? I guess well find out. According to recent reports, a 51-year-old father and husband James Patrick Stuhlman was recently gunned down by a group of black teens while he was walking his dog on a quiet street. Before he was shot he offered this familiar plea: Please dont shoot me, please dont shoot me. We are yet to see a protest over the death of James Patrick Stuhlman. Perhaps the story didnt fit the racial agenda of todays media? 
3	Why the Free and Open Internet Is Never Going to DieJoshua Krause The masses have spent the last 15 years ditching television, radio, and newspapers, and turning to the Internet for their news, because it offers an almost infinite number of opinions. Meanwhile, the mainstream media continues to wallow in lies and propaganda, as they pump a steady stream of bland and sterile entertainment into our homes. If the government has its way, in 20 years your computer will become nothing more than a television with a million channels. How novel? The Internet has also radically changed commerce for the average person by giving small businesses an affordable way to sell their goods and services to the world, while giving customers an incredibly wide selection that would have never been available to them in brick-and-mortar stores, and shopping magazines. You can say goodbye to that as well. While Obama claims these measures are meant to prevent corporations from monopolizing the Internet, I think we all know better. Governments and corporations work hand in hand, and everything thing they touch turns into a monopoly. Somehow I doubt the mom-and-pop shops of the Internet will survive this regulation. Oh well. I guess its time to pack it up guys. We had a really nice run, but I guess the bad guys won. The Internet as we know it dead. Hammer the last nail and shovel in the dirt. Well just have to go back to watching CNN and shopping at Walmart. Im kidding of course. Put the noose down and listen up folks. The free Internet isnt going to disappear. Its just going underground. Even in countries like China, dissidents and businessmen have found some pretty creative ways to work around their governments strict censorship of the Internet. And people of Cuba have gone so far as to build their own Internet infrastructure, separate from the governments overpriced service. Even Mexicos drug cartels have built a sprawling clandestine communication system that allow them to evade and spy on the authorities. The ingredients are all there for a new decentralized and secure Internet that is impossible for the government to regulate. Its only a matter of time before people begin to put it together. Just a couple of days ago, famed Internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom announced his plans to build a new Internet service that will piggyback existing providers, and will likely use cell phones as the infrastructure. It will be anonymized with the same blockchain technology that has made Bitcoin so thoroughly difficult to hack. This is just the beginning. We already have all the tools at our disposal, its just a matter of time. And the more effort the government puts into censoring and dumbing down the Internet, the more theyll push people into freer alternatives. The new decentralized Internet will grow in size, create more connections, become more user-friendly, and more affordable. Its just how the world works. Whenever the government tries to restrict something that the people want, the free market will build them an underground alternative. In short, this technological cat is out of the bag, and theres no turning back. The people know what they want, and theyre not going back to the pre-Internet days. At least, not without a fight. Lets assume for moment that this hypothetical free Internet fails to take hold. Maybe the technology just isnt there, or the government successfully stamps it out. In the long run, this may be the best thing that could happen to us. The Internet has woken up so many people to the truth. Its given us the ability to communicate with each other like never before, and has allowed us to share ideas that we would have never heard of otherwise. But it may also be holding us back. Its keeping us firmly planted in our seats, and in the comfort of our homes. It brings awareness to the problems of the world, but it may also be stifling real-world action. Though it may be taken away, the truths weve learned cannot be removed from our minds. If we lose the freedoms the Internet has given us, then our only choice is to take action in the real world. If the government destroys the Internet as we know it, then free-minded people will have no choice but to voice their concerns in the real world. So, if our controllers succeed in their efforts to regulate the Internet, it may put the fire under our asses and drive us into the streets. Your move G-man.

1	In the largest political victory of his career, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) was elected Supreme Ruler of the planet of New Texas today, a remote, fiscally conservative planet populated by 1 billion tiny versions of himself. 'My people, I stand before you today to announce that I, Ron Paul of Earth, accept this position as your planets benevolent ruler,' said Emperor-elect Paul, smiling before millions of 18-inch-high Ron Pauls, who alternately applauded, cheered, and chanted, 'You are our supreme leader,' at a victory rally held minutes after the Ron Paul News Network declared him the projected winner of the 2012 election. 'From this day forth, the planet of New Texas shall be a veritable utopia for Ron Pauls of all sizes.' Standing below the 50-foot solid-gold Ron Paul statue that adorns the city plaza of Paulville, New Texas' capital city, Paul thanked the crowd and promised to 'do right by the people of New Texas, who made the right choice at the polls today.' Ten minutes of sustained applause later, Paul took a moment to raise his campaign manager, Ron Paul CCN-14139-093, to eye level and personally thank him for 'knocking this one out of the park.' Paul then thanked his wife, Carol, and their five children who, not being Ron Paul, will live in orbit around New Texas. Ron Paul thanks his tiny campaign staff. After eight more minutes of applause, Paul promised sweeping reforms throughout New Texas. 'From here, we proceed into a new era of lean government, low taxes, and personal liberty, not just for the ruling class, but for each and every hardworking, right-thinking miniature replica of myself,' he announced to the high-pitched squeals of the cheering throng. Together, we shall build a better New Texas and a better Libertarius! The cheers were followed by several minutes of the crowd chanting 'Ron, Ron, Ron,' the tossing of tiny hats into the air, and 30 minutes of meticulously choreographed spectacle in which thousands of Ron Pauls in color-coded outfits marched, danced, and formed images from the life and career of their new leader. Finally, a parade carried Paul from the city courthouse down Paul Boulevard to the Imperial Palace, the procession joined by countless legions of Ron Pauls and a teeny, tiny 200-piece brass band. Paul will be the first individual to lead the planet of New Texas, an Earth-sized world with abundant precious metals that form the basis of its economy. The planet had previously been overseen by a council of learned Ron Paul duplicates in strict accordance with the policies of Ron Paul. The victory caps a smooth and non-contentious election in which no other candidate was seen as a serious contender. After beginning his campaign for the throne this summer, running on the Ron Paul Party ticket, Paul quickly gained a 100 percent lead in polls against his top challenger, former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson. Political observers said Paul quickly charmed and gained the trust of the identical-to-Ron-Paul-in-every-respect-but-size demographicconsidered essential to his victoryby stressing such trademarks as fiscal responsibility, support for privatized health care, and being Ron Paul. According to pollsters, Gary Johnson's campaign was effectively over following a debate in which, after Johnson called for the creation of a planetary Federal Reserve system with broad authority, hundreds of audience members swarmed over him and beat him with tiny little sticks. 'Henceforth, none shall dare oppose the mighty Ron Paul,' RPNN political analyst Ron Paul EGN-40182-177 said after the first and only debate. 'All hail our unopposed leader!' Pundits across the known universe said Ron Paul would be an excellent match for New Texas, given the planet's history as a conservative, libertarian world known for low taxes and drug legalization. 'You could hardly find a better leader for New Texas than Ron Paul,' MSNBC commentator Chris Hayes said. 'The broad ideological parity and complete genetic indistinguishability among the planets citizens makes Paul a true man of the people in every sense of the word.' Paul's non-interventionist policies may preclude any diplomatic link between New Texas and Earth's governments; however, Paul is said to remain open to building an embassy on the neighboring world of Q'adrillicus, a planet of sentient ocean reefs that support phasing out Social Security and Medicare. Paul's coronation will occur Nov. 10. According to sources, the coronation ball's theme will be 'Ron Paul.' 
2	Megyn Kelly Stuns Fans With Bombshell Announcement, Nobody Saw This Coming Fox News host Megyn Kelly has gone head-to-head with GOP frontrunner Donald Trump several times now, and their feud has made headlines. Now, it appears that she is finally ready to make piece. Recently, Kelly sat down with Charlie Rose for an episode of CBS Sunday Morning. During the interview, she revealed that she was upset when Bill OReilly neglected to defend her against Trumps attacks as he was pulling out of the Iowa debate. She also criticized CNN for airing the event Trump was holding for veterans at the same time as the debate. Surprisingly, though, Kelly had little to say about Trumpother than that he could benefit from pulling himself back a bit. Hes already been so effective, she commented. He could be so much more effective. In an attempt to fuel the fire, Rose asks Kelly, Has anything about this campaign season made you want to throw up your arms and say, Politics has gone crazy in America! Ive had the same feeling, Kelly confessed, but clarified that she and Trump had no relationship before the debate where she asked questions that were later deemed unfair. I think its very clear to him that he cannot control the editorial on my show or me in a debate or other settings, Kelly concluded, adding that Trump is welcome on her show any time. What do you think of her comments? 
1	Sources close to local resident Justin Krypel admitted to reporters this week that while the 34-year-old account executive was 'basically a good guy at heart,' human civilization has a tendency to bring out the worst in him. 'I've known Justin for years, and whenever he's not engaged with modern society in any way, he's actually pretty nice and laid-back,' said former roommate Michael Mariani, 32, who noted Krypel was typically agreeable when sitting by himself in a room doing nothing. 'However, as soon as he's exposed to some aspect of the culture in which he lives, he can get pretty irritable and difficult to be around.' 'Some things just really seem to push his buttons, like work, having to deal with other people, or any inescapable feature of human existence along those lines, really,' Mariani continued. 'It's best to try to avoid that stuff when you're around him.' Krypel reportedly grows petulant and sanctimonious and reacts with an unfounded sense of aggrievement when exposed to any facet of 21st century life, from technology, to fixed timetables and schedules, to listening, to modes of transportation. Additionally, a source close to the local man confirmed, 'You don't want to be anywhere near [Krypel]' when he's around the economy. 'For a long time, I thought Justin was kind of a jerk, but that's because I only ever saw him in the context of universally agreed upon societal conventions and the fundamental precept of the division of labor, both of which tend to draw out some of his more negative characteristics,' coworker Ellen Chastenay, 30, said. 'Eventually I realized he just has certain triggers, like being a member of a functioning society.' 'If you can keep him away from the concepts of cooperation, the social contract, or the necessity of using a common language to engage in routine interpersonal communication, he's just like everyone else,' Chastenay added. According to sources, even when Krypel is isolated from fellow human beings, certain aspects of contemporary American civilization are still capable of eliciting his more reprehensible traits. For example, when alone in his home and exposed to everyday cultural experiences such as the viewing of television or the consumption of prepackaged foods, Krypel regularly exhibits extreme lethargy, substandard hygiene, and a loss of all willpower. While recognizing that the man's casual acquaintances often find him to be annoying, rude, and an 'insufferable asshole,' those closest to Krypel asserted this was not the 'real Justin,' and assured reporters he was 'much more pleasant' when he was in no way interacting with the world. 'Sure, a lot of things like popular culture, science, procuring goods or services, computers, and reading really set him off, but that's not who he actually is,' said wife Sandra Krypel, 33, noting that while asleep or staring silently into the distance, her husband could be quite even-tempered. 'Those things just happen to be completely incompatible with his personality. Believe me, on the inside, which is as insulated as possible from anything we would recognize as the human experience, he's actually a good-natured, great man.' 'Though I'll be the first to admit that when he lets out one of his long, exaggerated sighs of indignation, you simply can't help wanting to punch him right in the back of his big fat head,' she added. According to estimates from the American Psychological Association, the type of personality disorder exhibited by Krypel is shared by approximately 93 percent of U.S. citizens, though many believe the actual figure to be higher due to the condition's underdiagnosis. 
1	Just months after meeting in an Internet chat room, the nations of Suriname and Estonia have entered a state of open hostility, U.N. sources reported Tuesday. Runaldo Ronald Venetiaan (left) and Arnold Ruutel (right) at their respective computers. 'In early January, Surinamese president Runaldo Ronald Venetiaan logged onto a small-nations chat room on Yahoo! and came across Estonian president Arnold Ruutel,' U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said. 'The two exchanged messages and, before long, became Internet friends, bonding over their shared experiences as leaders of tiny republics.' Despite their vast cultural differences and geographical distance, the Surinamese and Estonian leaders forged a strong alliance, granting each other most-favored-nation status and signing numerous trade pacts. Relations slowly turned sour, however, as a series of misunderstandings and perceived snubs caused the friendship to deteriorate into enmity. Just before dawn Monday, Estonia commenced bombing raids along Suriname's coastal region, targeting a military complex near the capital city of Paramaribo. The attack was in response to Suriname troop buildup in Latvia and a thwarted attempt to cross the Estonian border at Valga last Friday. Estonia's angry e-mails to Suriname demanding a pullout of the Baltic region by 11:59 p.m. Sunday were repeatedly bounced back as 'undeliverable due to fatal address error.' World map with Suriname, Estonia 'U.N. negotiators are continuing their attempts to broker peace, but so far the process has been marred by the leaders' steadfast refusal to communicate,' Annan said. 'Both have removed their entries from the Yahoo! member directory for Presidents Of Small Nations. There is also reason to believe they are logging onto their favorite world-politics chat rooms with alternate user names to avoid coming into contact with each other.' Venetiaan recalled the leaders' first chat-room encounter. 'I didn't know I'd one day live to regret meeting that lousy ex-Commie,' said Venetiaan, who logged on using his secondary e-mail account, republic_of_suriname1975@hotmail.com. 'Estonia looked like an interesting country, so, being the leader of a country myself, I typed in a message saying, 'hello out there.. whatsup in etsonia?'' Less than 30 seconds later, Venetiaan received a response. 'It was from Estonia, saying, 'the inflations terrible!!! How bout where you are?' I wrote back, 'inflations pretty bad here too but at least it's 80 degrees and sunny!!! ;)' He replied, 'i'm sooo jealousit's freezing here! by the way I'm wracking my brains trying to think of new economic measures to strengthen estonia's manufacturing base. if youve got any suggestions, feel free send them my way!'' Stressing that he usually does not e-mail countries he doesn't even know, Venetiaan sent Ruutel a full page of economic-stimulus ideas, appended with the qualifier, 'not that i know anything! my country's got 21.7% unemployment! :(' Upon receiving Venetiaan's e-mail, Ruutel sent him an instant message about a monetary-unit conversion-program download he had seen. 'We ended up chatting for almost an hour,' Ruutel said. 'Nothing important, just, 'What's your main export? I have this much arable land, how about you?' That sort of thing.' According to Venetiaan, the two countries had a surprising amount in common. 'Suriname was granted independence from the Netherlands in 1975 after riots broke out,' Venetiaan said. 'Estonia had a lot of the same problems when they declared independence from the Soviet Union in 1990. It was weird: Even though, on the surface, we seemed totally different, we'd been through a lot of the same things.' Said Ruutel, 'We added each other to our MSN Messenger Friends lists and started forwarding each other funny internal memos. Arnold sent me an MP3 from his brother's kesco band, a traditional form of Surinamese music. Then I sent him a PayPal payment for just two kroon and said I was donating my budget surplus. We had a good laugh over that one.' Two months after first meeting on the Internet, Venetiaan and Ruutel finally met face-to-face. 'When I told Arnold I was going to be on vacation in South America, he arranged a dinner in my honor,' Venetiaan said. 'It was a little awkward at first, because we didn't really have any official state business, but we ended up having a great time. We arranged to build an Estonian embassy in Paramaribo and signed a bunch of tariff and trade agreements.' In addition to the economic pacts, Suriname pledged non-military support for Estonia in disputes with Russia. In return, Estonia agreed to back Suriname's claim on an area in French Guiana between Riviere Litani and Riviere Marouini. Trouble began several weeks later, however, when a sudden jump in the value of oil shale and a sluggish international textile market prompted Ruutel to call for renegotiations. 'All of a sudden, Arnold says he wants to pull out of our bauxite agreement,' Venetiaan said. 'Then he's mad I took my raw aluminum to Finland for a deal on heavy machinery imports. I e-mailed and e-mailed, trying to clear up the whole mess, but there was no reply.' Feeling snubbed, Venetiaan sent Ruutel an antagonistic e-mail informing him that Suriname planned to establish formal relations with Russia. Ruutel replied with an angry six-page e-mail blasting Suriname's decision to form an alliance with Estonia's unfriendly neighbor. When Venetiaan responded by sending a Golden Girls 'I'm Sorry' Lifetime Network e-card, Ruutel placed his country on full military alert. Though Venetiaan later insisted the card was 'just a joke,' the damage was done. 'At that point, I didn't want to deal with him anymore, diplomatically or personally,' Ruutel said. 'I sent a formal declaration of war and CCed all of my top generals. The subject line was 're: bomb Corantijn river region sky-high.'' Estonian Prime Minister Mart Laar characterized the breakdown in international relations as 'nothing to mourn.' 'I never really liked that Ron,' Laar said. 'He always seemed kind of creepy to me. I think Estonia is better off without Suriname.' Venetiaan is similarly unfazed. 'I don't know why Estonia had to get all weird on me,' Venetiaan said. 'Whatever. Their loss, that's for sure.' 
1	President George H.W. Bush realized Tuesday it had been several years since he had seen any members of the Secret Service detail that was assigned to protect him for the rest of his life. 'I remember Barbara and I were eating at a diner when [Secret Service agent] Carl [Palmer] came up to the table and told me he had to duck out for a second, but I should call if anything came up,' said the visibly saddened 41st president, adding that he could recall a 'bright' and 'lively' time when he was shuttled from location to location and there were Secret Service agents around him constantly. 'Well, I haven't seen Carl since. I guess you eventually just get to an age where no one sees you as a target anymore.' Later that evening, President Bush died quietly in his sleep. 
1	After a 94-mph beaning last weekend landed Mets star David Wright on the 15-day disabled list, his teammates retaliated Monday by ruthlessly stabbing San Francisco Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval to death. 'Hey, it's just part of the game,' blood-soaked pitcher Mike Pelfrey said at an evening press conference. 'If your pitcher is going to hit one of our guys, we're going to react. And we'll do that by cornering one of your guys in a dark parking lot at night, slamming his head into a car door, thrusting knives repeatedly into his chest and stomach, and leaving him there to bleed in silence until he's found dead the next morning. That's baseball.' As of press time, both teams had been warned by home plate umpire Phil Cuzzi. 
2	Liberals Outraged, Want These Obama Bashing Halloween Decorations Destroyed [VIDEO] According to recent reports, an Oklahoma resident is facing controversy over his Halloween dcor this year. Liberal neighbors have even demanded that the decorations be removed. Dwayne Dockens front yard is decorated like a graveyard with tombstones around it. Not unusual for Halloween, right? However, one tombstone in particular is the source of controversy: it is labeled for President Barack Obama. According to Dockens, he has featured the same tombstone in his yard for three years now. I was absolutely offended, claimed Jamilla Phillips, one of Dockens neighbors. He is the president of the United States, and it actually is about respect. Its a total respect thing because this person is still alive. Neighbors have also expressed concerns that the tombstone is sending a negative message to children. I certainly didnt mean to offend anybody or cause any problems, said Dockens. Still, he doesnt seem willing to give in to liberal demands. Dont know that I would take it down. 
2	Al Sharpton, BLM Horrified After Sterlings Family Issues SHOCKING Statement Al Sharpton and other Black Lives Matter protesters received bad news this week when the mother of Alton Sterlings son rejected their attempts to turn his death into a problem of race. When speaking with The Associated Press, Quinyetta McMillon confirmed that she prefers Sterlings death not be made into a race thing. She also expressed her support for police in Dallas who are grieving the loss of five officers due to a racially motivated sniper attack. Now, Im walking a mile with them, she said. Were bearing the same shoes right now. Unlike many of her peers, McMillion understands the importance of honoring the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep our cities and counties safe. That doesnt mean, however, that she isnt seeking justice to the fullest extent. I do not believe in my heart that there was a gun, she commented of Sterlings death, adding that she supported the federal governments decision to open an investigation. They should be prosecuted, the both of them. I dont want the death penalty for them. I want them to be in prison. She went on to claim that she believes the two officers made severe judgment errors and deserve to be investigated. That is a fair argument. What do you think? 
3	Pre-Crime Systems Now Actively Monitoring the InternetThe Computer Algorithm Learns the Pattern and Produces a Prediction With revelations that the National Security Agency has collected some20 trillion phone calls and emails via an expansive nationwide surveillance network, most Americans have already come to the realization that everything they do is being monitored. But many shrug off Big Brothers prying eyes by suggesting that, since they arent doing anything wrong, they have nothing to worry about. That may have been true several years ago, but the digital surveillance systems of today are far more advanced than most people understand. No longer are these machines simply recording the data and storing them in some historical archive to be pulled at a later date should the government ever have reason to take a closer look at your personal life. The next generation of systems are being used to actively monitor your digital interactions, surfing habits, conversations and daily sentiment in an effort to predict your future behavior. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the systems currently operating within the social media sphere. Researchers at the University of Virginia funded by the U.S. Army recently demonstrated that they can not only gather information from your personal Twitter account just like the NSA, but also aggregate and analyze that information with advanced predictive algorithms designed to determine what youre going to do next. In this case, the researches focused specifically on predicting crime by individuals, as well as in crime hot spots around the country. Researchers at the University of Virginia demonstrated tweets could predict certain kinds of crimes if the correct analysis is applied. A research paper published in the scientific journal Decision Support Systems last month said the analysis of geo-tagged tweets can be useful in predicting 19 to 25 kinds of crimes, especially for offenses such as stalking, thefts and certain kinds of assault. The results are surprising, especially when one considers that people rarely tweet about crimes directly, said lead researcher Matthew Gerber of the universitys Predictive Technology Lab. Gerber said even tweets that have no direct link to crimes may contain information about activities often associated with them. [] Gerber said Twitter data can be relatively easy to use because tweets are publicly available, and many of them are tagged with location information. In addition, researchers, themselves, do not need to go into the high-crime areas to study the information. Instead, I send our algorithms to these locations and see what people are talking about, Gerber said. The computer algorithm learns the pattern and produces a prediction. The study was funded by the US Army, which Gerber said uses similar techniques to determine threats in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Its no surprise then, that police departments all over the country are interested in the new technology. The New York Police Department has already asked for a demonstration. To give you an idea of how this technology can be used to not only predict traditional crimes but domestic terrorism related activity, consider an earlier report out of Auburn, NY which indicates that the Department of Homeland Security is asking local businesses to keep an eye out for terrorists going so far as to provide retailers with ashopping list of possible items a terrorist might purchase such as MREs (Meals Ready to Eat), flashlights and other products readily available at local surplus shops and camping stores. The implications of these new algorithms, which will be taught that anyone discussing the purchase or ownership of these types of items should be flagged for review and visited by Homeland Security personnel as a person of interest, are staggering. With the definitions for domestic terrorism being expanded to include everyone from kids making gun-like gestures with their hands to Americans joining a large protest against government over-reach, its only a matter of time before just about every American with a gripe or opposing view is flagged, investigated and incarcerated for a crime that they may commit in the future. Though the notion may seem far fetched to some, this technology is being designed for a reason. Given the ever expanding intervention and interference of government into our lives on every level by way of relentlessly supplanting our protections under the U.S. Constitution, are we to believe these developing technologies wont be used strike fear and compliance into the hearts and minds of Americans?

1	Jubilant Lions fans, players, and coaches alike continue to ride the wave of good feelings and positive thinking that began after the team lost by only a single touchdown to the talented and efficient New England Patriots Sunday, a fact they say negates anything else the Patriots achieve this season. 'For a team like ours to hold a lead against a team like that going into the fourth quarter As far as we're concerned, an era ended with that game,' Lions GM Matt Millen said Monday. 'Tom Brady had to pull 15 points out of nowhere to beat us, didn't he? That's the sort of last-minute heroics that can haunt a team forever.' Patriots coach Bill Belichick, while not willing to declare the Patriots' season a washout, admitted disappointment that his team 'wound up playing that three-ring retard circus of a joke team so damn close.' 
1	The long-standing economic, political and social divisions between blacks and whites in America at long last ended Monday with a TV producer's casting of a black actor in a bit part as a teen computer-whiz archetype. Actor Darrell Goodwin, who was recently cast in a bit part as a teen computer whiz on a new NBC series, ending racism in the U.S. Though racial equality had, throughout U.S. history, been seen as little more than a distant dream, TV producer Fern Blochnerco-producer of such popular daytime teen 'dramedies' as Crestwood Daze and Chillin' Out In Study Hallmade that dream a reality when it came time to cast her newest series, My Home Ate My Dogwork, airing Saturday mornings on NBC. 'You wouldn't normally think a black kid would be running a high-school computer lab, but we have one doing just that,' Blochner said of her show, whose uplifting and dignified portrayal of black youths in America is being widely credited for the sudden flowering of racial justice and harmony across the nation. 'Our casting decision boldly defies the societal stereotype that black people are not smart enough to run high-school computer labs.' Shortly after the airing of the premiere episode of My Home Ate My Dogworkin which the computer-whiz character is clearly visible in the background in no fewer than three separate scenesthe barriers of poverty, crime, and lack of equal access to education that have kept America's blacks at a disadvantage came crashing down. 'I'll admit, I was a bit shocked when I found out I got the part,' said Darrell Goodwin, the 17-year-old actor who plays the computer whiz. 'I thought to myself, 'The computer lab... run by a black kid? How could this be?' Then I realized that the casting decision deliberately defied society's racist expectations, expectations that I myself had bought into by doubting myself.' Though Blochner and her associates said they had reservations about the controversial casting decision, particularly regarding how others in the traditionally white entertainment industry would react, they held fast to their conviction that the teen computer whiz should be black. 'We were worried that institutional, internalized racism on the part of industry executives might manifest itself in the form of opposition to our casting decision,' Blochner said. 'But we stood our ground, and, as a result, such closed-mindedness is now a thing of the past.' Blochner said she came up with the idea to make the computer-whiz character black while doing background research for the show. 'We wanted our show to be as accurate as possible, so we spent some time at New Trier High School in the affluent Chicago suburb of Winnetka to ensure authenticity,' Blochner said. 'But after a few days at the school, we noticed a disturbing and unfair aspect of the upscale high school's student demographic: There were no blacks.' 'We were very concerned that the high school had no black students, and that none of the students at the school had ever known any blacks, and that there were no blacks living anywhere within the neighborhoods zoned for the school,' Blochner continued. 'We said to ourselves, 'This is unfair!' and were determined to change reality for the better. So we decided that in our fictional version of the school, we would put in a black kid, and we'd make it seem like he's smart, too.' Noted sociologist Edwin Hull explained how the producers of My Home Ate My Dogwork were able to bring about racial equality in the U.S. 'By boldly envisioning a world in which African Americans possess the socioeconomic wherewithal not only to attend a high school like New Trier, but actually to run the computer lab therein, this television program created a 'positive media portrayal' of African Americans,' Hull said. 'This proactive portrayal of a positive African-American role model boosted the collective self-esteem of the nation's African-American community, thus establishing racial harmony at last.' Hull noted that this strategy was similar to the one used by the 1998 Environmental Media Awards, at which episodes of Baywatch and The X-Files featuring pro-environment themes were credited with last year's spontaneous healing of the ozone layer and the return of several dozen long-extinct species to the global ecosystem. 
3	Aleppo Liberated: Washington Post Finally Admits Rebels Invaded - Was No UprisingBy Tony Cartalucci However, in reality,that was never the case. And this reality is something careful readers will note even if they read the latest from one of the most prominent sources of pro-terrorist propaganda, the Washington Post. In their article, Endgame in Aleppo, the most decisive battle yet in Syrias war, they admit (emphasis added): When Syrianrebels surged into Aleppo in the summer of 2012,it was the high point of their still young, still idealistic revolution against President Bashar al-Assad. Four and a half years and hundreds of thousands of deaths later, troops loyal to his government were poised on Tuesday to take the city back, heralding the end of an era for the rebellion. The Washington Post also demolishes another widely repeated lie regarding Aleppo claims that a quarter of a million people remained in rebel-held eastern Aleppo. The Washington Post now claims (emphasis added): Last-minute diplomacy to rescuethe tens of thousands of people trappedby the fighting or because they fear being detained by loyalist forces generated a deal brokered by Russia and Turkey on Tuesday to evacuate the last rebel-controlled enclave. Tens of thousand is a far cry from the quarter of a million lie repeatedly told by the Western media, including by the Washington Post itself in articles like, More than 250,000 in Eastern Aleppo could die after the next 20 days. Just as the Washington Post did in Libya, and Iraq before that, it ceaselessly worked not to inform the public, but to intentionally misinform them, part of a wider campaign to sell war to the West and justify direct military intervention to topple governments impeding Wall Street and Washingtons global hegemonic expansion in the decades following the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Washington Posts first-sentence admission that Aleppo was never the scene of an uprising, but rather the host of an invasion lays bare all the lies that have been told since to justify the citys occupation by groups of terrorists including US State Department-designated foreign terrorist organization Jabhat Al Nusra quite literally Al Qaeda in Syria and progenitor of the self-proclaimed Islamic State itself. With the city of Aleppo now fully liberated, it is important for the alternative media to catch these lies and the Western medias retrospective admissions to telling them, in order to maintain momentum in favor of the Syrian people as they attempt to restore security and order across their nation. With many terrorist groups retreating to the dysfunctional and diminutive city of Idlib in the north, or surging forth toward Palmyra in the east, pivotal battles still remain to be won by the Syrian Arab Army and their allies. Many of the same lies and intentional mischaracterizations used to sell the occupation of Aleppo and fend off the citys liberation will undoubtedly be used again. It is essential to make sure when these tools of deception are used again, they are sufficiently blunted by informing the public of the truth a truth the Wests own admissions reveals. Tony Cartaluccis articles have appeared on many alternative media websites, including his own at Land Destroyer Report, Alternative Thai News Network and LocalOrg. We were told by our Fake News and United Nations people who should know better that 250,000 Syrians were in east Aleppo before liberation and there were hundreds of White Helmets rushing around to produce video of aggressive bombing and only killing civilians. Hospitals were destroyed and schools bombed etc etc. I pray that Trump will end this perpetual horror story. So much propaganda. Im totally skeptical of everything the MSM puts out and a lot of what alternative media puts out, too. Beam me up. 
3	S.C. State Senate Unanimously Nullifies Federal Hemp Banselfnews Post Introduced by Sen. Kevin Bryant along with cosponsors Sen. Lee Bright and Sen. Tom Davis, S.0839 passed by a 42-0 unanimous vote this week. The bill reads, in part, It is lawful for an individual to cultivate, produce, or otherwise grow industrial hemp in this State to be used for any lawful purpose, including, but not limited to, the manufacture of industrial hemp products, and scientific, agricultural, or other research related to other lawful applications for industrial hemp. 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. 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. allows State Agriculture Departments, colleges and universities to grow hemp, defined as the non-drug oilseed 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. Three states Colorado, Oregon and Vermont have already passed similar measures. Farmers in SE Colorado started harvesting the plant in 2013, effectively nullifying federal restrictions on such agricultural activities. 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. S.0839 now moves on to the state house where it will first be assigned to a committee for consideration before the full house has an opportunity to send the bill to Gov. Haleys desk for a signature.

2	Muslim Professor Fired From Christian School This probably isnt going to go over well with liberalswho are determined to prioritize the needs of the Muslim community over pretty much anybody else in this country. According to recent reports, a Christian college near Chicago has just released a political science professor who wore a headscarf to show solidarity with Muslims. Wheaton College released a statement on Saturday claiming that the college and Dr. Larycia Hawkins have reached a confidential agreement under which they will part ways. Hawkins is a Christian woman, who was placed on leave in December when she took to social media with claims that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. Of course, school officials were not pleased with that sentiment, claiming that her views were inconsistent with their doctrinal convictions. When Wheaton attempted to begin proceedings to dismiss Hawkins from their staff, the faculty voted against it. What do you think? Was Wheaton justified in firing this professor? 
2	Obama Finalizes New Gun Control Policy To Go Into Effect Next Week Obama just finalized his new gun control policy. He wants to expand background checks on gun buyers. Congress refuses to approve, but Obama is going over their head. This is in response to the recent shootings in Colorado and California. He is hoping that gun control will be the solution to terrorism. Obama plans to crack down on the gun show loophole, which allows people to buy guns at shows without a background check. However, all of the guns purchased in the recent shooting have been completely legal straight from the store. His solution doesnt seem to add up. Do you think Obama should focus on a real solution to terrorism? 
3	CDC lied just before whistleblower went publicJon Rappoport August 25, 2014the CDC publishes a press release defending its 2004 study on autism. August 27, 2014CDC whistleblower publicly admits he and his co-authors cooked that study and committed fraud. On August 25th, the CDC issued a press release, Statement Regarding 2004 Pediatrics [study], The CDC was referring to the 2004 study whistleblower William Thompson co-authored, the study he admitted was fraudulent, the study he and his co-authors slanted to bury the connection between the MMR vaccine and autism. Thompson went public with his confession on August 27th, two days after the CDC posted its press release. So the CDC knew or strongly suspected Thompson was going to go public, and they wanted to head him off at the pass and do a bit of damage control. Hence, the August 25th CDC press release, which of course tried to defend the scientific validity of the 2004 study. Id say there is a strong chance Thompson told his CDC bosses he was going to issue a confession. Why? Thompson wanted to smooth the waters, keep his job at the CDC, and personally avoid the nasty consequences that would flow from springing a complete surprise on his employers. The CDCs August 25th press release contains language specifically directed at what Thompson would allude to, two days later: The subset of black male babies who showed a much higher risk of autism after receiving the MMR vaccine. Data on this group, Thompson would confess, was omitted from the study. Here is the key CDC quote of August 25: Access to the information on the birth certificates [of children in the study] allowed researchers to assess more complete information on race as well as other important characteristics, including possible risk factors for autism such as the childs birth weight, mothers age, and education. This information was not available for the children without birth certificates; hence CDC study did not present data by race on black, white, or other race children from the whole study sample. It presented the results on black and white/other race children from the group with birth certificates. Translation: The authors of the study did a complete analysis of vaccinated children and their risk of autism, including children without birth certificatesand then much later said, Oops, guess what? We just realized there are some kids without birth certificates. Well have to eliminate them from the study. Believe that and I have condos for sale on Neptune. But theres more. These kids without birth certificates, who were dropped from the study, miraculously and accidentally happened to be the ones who showed a much higher risk of autism. Believe that and Ill sell you Neptune.

3	Kindergartner Suspended For Hello Kitty Soap-Bubble GunBrandon Smith, Contributor A 5-year-old girl was suspended from school earlier this week after she made what the school called a terrorist threat. Her weapon of choice? A small, Hello Kitty automatic bubble blower. The kindergartner, who attends Mount Carmel Area Elementary School in Pennsylvania, caught administrators attention after suggesting she and a classmate should shoot each other with bubbles (Source) Unfortunately your browser does not support IFrames. Teachers and school administrators attend educational seminars (propaganda seminars) just like law enforcement, social workers, and most other state employees. They are given action plans and memos on suspicious behavior. They are trained to create very specific environmental conditions within their classrooms. Do they understand the full implications of their behavior towards their students? Probably not. But they are aware that they are implementing an educational regime designed to condition out certain behaviors and ideas in the children they teach. There is in fact a longstanding tradition within American public schools of manipulation. Hell, lets just call it what it really is: Brainwashing! In 2013, little has changed accept the subject matter. Today, children are being trained with fear and shame to despise the very idea of firearms. Not only the misuse of firearms, but the concept of firearms ownership for ANY person. It is also no mistake that school officials chose the word terrorist when describing the Kindergarten girl. I recently wrote an article covering the suggestion by Reuters gun control advocates (among others) that public schools be forced to institute anti-gun propaganda by the federal government using the threat of funding cuts: http://www.alt-market.com/articles/1231-gun-grabbers-call-for-re-education-programs-in-public-schools They were quite bold and open with the purpose of this re-education curriculum; to breed out the American gun culture by browbeating our children. The problem is, this was already going on for years before Sandy Hook; they have only picked up the pace since. School children across the country are now being suspended for toy guns, games with gun imagery, and even pointing their fingers as if using a gun: http://www.kvue.com/news/Child-suspended-for-using-finger-as-imaginary-gun-187349051.html This is not just a zero tolerance policy on the part of school officials. This is a concerted and directed effort to frighten children away from the whole of American gun culture using negative reinforcement. Like Pavlovs Dog, which was taught to salivate at the sound of a bell, Americas youngest generation is being taught to cringe at the mention of a firearms. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	Evidence Points to Federal Court Undermining Lawsuit Against BPBrandon Turbeville The court affair began when Johnson sued BP for negligence and antitrust for refusing to at least attempt to use his technology, the SAK-J5 and the S.O.C.K., equipment which had been tested at Ohmsett with an oil containment and recovery success rate of 100%, even after other methods had proven inadequate and BP was relying on toxic Corexit to simply hide the oil from public view. During the course of his subsequent lawsuit and appeals, Johnson claims that he experienced numerous instances of collusion between BP and the courts such as the Clerks Offices refusal to enter default against BP even after Federal court rules clearly deemed that this judgment was to be entered, attempts by the court to accommodate BP at every conceivable opportunity, tampering with confidential documents, and the denial of suits that were never signed by judges, just to name a few. I encourage the reader to access my previous article in order to understand the background of this case. The additional allegations begin with Johnsons filing of a Motion to Expedite due to the fact that, according to him, his case had laid dormant for over three months, with no communication or contact of any kind related to the suit. This was, he claims, despite the fact that other cases which were not of a criminal nature were placed on the courts docket for January, 2012. Thus, Johnson filed the Motion in February, 2012, beginning the process of granting or denying his Motion which Johnson states should only have taken seven days. However, Johnson received a denial of his Motion by the court on June 1, 2012, a full three and a half months after the original Motion had been filed. Johnson explains his position as follows: According to the Federal Rules of Appeals Procedure (F.R.A.P.), there is a time limit for every motion and response. As to the Motion to Expedite, I had motioned for this when I was not receiving answers from the Clerks Office. This was after I was told by a clerk that, on November 17, 2011, my case had been submitted to the Panel to determine the status and direction of this case. I had waited until January 2012 without any answer or information on the next steps. I began calling the Clerks Office to receive updates. I was then told that the case was now in the hands of the Panel for decision and one would come before the end of January. After no answer, I started calling the Clerks Office again, but all I received were unanswered questions and angry attitudes from the clerks. I then entered a Motion to Expedite on February 16, 2012. Now, keep in mind that F.R.A.P states that this Motion goes to the Motions Panel which is made up of Justices only. Only the Motions Panel can determine to grant or deny this motion. Also, this motion must be answered within 7 to 14 days. I never received an answer so, after waiting 24 days, I started calling the Clerks Office again. I would call at least twice a week to receive and update. After finally being fed up with no answers and the cold shoulder from the clerks, on June 1, I spoke with a Motions Supervisor and confronted him about my case and questioned him as to why I had not received an answer to my Motion. I stated the rules to him. Later that afternoon, I received the order denying my Motion to Expedite signed by the Clerk of Court, not by a Panel member. There was not even any mention of who they were even though they are listed. That was for the remainder of the month of February, 2012 and the month of February, March, April, and May. This so-called answer stated that my case was fully briefed and would be heard in due time. Keep in mind that my case was fully briefed and would be heard in due time. Also keep in mind that once a case goes to Panel, it should only take a total remainder of that month or no more than the next month in the worst case. Johnson also states that his Motion to Expedite was supposed to have been heard by the Motions Panel, a panel which consists of three Clerk-appointed judges. However, Johnson claims that the decision to deny was made by the Clerk, not by the panel, and was subsequently entered into record by the Clerk. Indeed, the documents that Johnson has produced show no signs of signatures by the panel, merely the statement of denial and the file stamp of the Clerks office. Johnson asserts that has never seen a signature by the panel on his Motion to Expedite. In fact, Johnson states: There were no signatures of any kind from any of the judges. Not even from the Clerk, even though they are not supposed to sign off on this. . . .There were supposed to be signatures after they affirmed the decision to show who ordered this agreement with the lower courts. If the case paperwork stated that it was supposed to be brought before Justices Silverman, Thomas, and Schroeder only, then it should have been signed off by anyone of these three the author of the opinion. Likewise, Johnson maintains that the hearing and judgment regarding his En Banc Petition was stalled and ignored in hopes that he would miss his own filing deadlines for the US Supreme Court. Johnson anticipated such obstacles, however, and managed to file his Writ of Certiorari with the Supreme Court just two days before the deadline passed. In relation to the En Banc hearing, Johnson says: Federal Rules of Civil Procedures (F.R.C.P.) states that, after your case is over in Appeals Court, you have a total of 14 days from the date of the ruling. That date would be July 30, 2012. I filed the rehearing petition on August 8th. I should have received a reply within 21 days from the time of filing. That would have been on or around September 25th at the latest. The deadline for my appeal to the Supreme Court was October 27, 2012. I had waited until October 22, 2012 to file my Writ and I also stated the reason for filing my Writ to the Supreme Court that I had not received any answer from the En Banc Panel on whether or not they had accepted my case for rehearing. After not receiving any answer from the Clerk of Court, Molly Dwyer, from my follow up letter, I was told by the Clerk of the Supreme Court my deadline date and that there are no exceptions. . . . .They (certain unknown clerks in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals for the United States) were in collusion with B.P.s attorney, Christopher Keegan, to keep me from making my deadline to file in the Nations Supreme Court. Shortly after the Motion to Expedite was denied, Johnson received the Mandate regarding the judgment of the US District Court for Northern California, which Johnson subsequently appealed. In keeping with the general direction of Johnsons legal battles, the challenge to the Mandate was denied and a Memorandum was issued as ordered by the court regarding the denial of the entirety of the case. I cant say where the judges actually were, but I can say that Justice Thomas was on Calendar to preside over an oral hearing the week of July 16. This can be verified by checking the calendar. The rules do not allow for a Justice to preside over an appeal and render a decision on a merits case during his time in oral hearings. It is a conflict of interest. Also, I had read that, during that time, Silverman and Schroeder, were out of the area in Seattle and Arizona. This also can be verified by their calendar. You will not see them in San Francisco! Thus, Johnson asserts that the decision was not made by the courts (via the judges) but by the Clerks Office. Essentially, Johnson is claiming that the Clerks Office received and held the official court papers in an effort to stall his proceedings in hopes that he would miss his deadline. Then, after these attempts failed, individuals within the Clerks office who were loyal or affiliated with BP (through connections, favors, or monetary contributions according to Johnson) attempted to forge actual judicial orders in hopes that Johnson would simply accept the documents he received at face value and fade away. This, he says, explains the constant stonewalling whenever he attempted to speak to the Clerk of Court Molly Dwyer and relevant supervisors at every step of the case. In regards to some of the evidence Johnson has gathered which he believes demonstrates the collusion and corruption mentioned above, Johnson refers to the actual physical court documents. He says: First, just look at the Mandate! Notice the file stamp in the upper right corner. It is different from any of the other file stamps used by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The file stamp on the majority of the Motions filed are in a square box. This one clearly looks like an old stamp that was not retrieved when the new one was issued. Second, the title states Not For Publication! This decision that was supposed to be rendered by these Justices set a precedent and changes over 4 Federal rules and a State statute. This should go into the law journals and addendums so the entire legal system is made aware of the new rules. It is my strong contention that, because B.P.s attorneys underestimated me because I was not an attorney and represented myself, I would not know or understand the law. I felt that they thought that they could barrage enormous amounts of paper to get me to go away and discourage me from continuing forward. The purpose was to cover up the collusion and fraud and misrepresentation that happened in the District Court of Northern California between B.P.s Attorneys (J. Andrew Langan, Christoper Keegan, and Magistrate Judge LaPorte). While Johnson is not able to identify the exact players in what he believes to be a concerted effort to derail his case, he is apt to point out that BPs attorney, Chris Keegan, working for Kirkland and Ellis LLP, has a potential network of connections at the Clerks Office of the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. This is because Keegan, before joining Kirkland and Ellis, once acted as a clerk for Judge John T. Noonan under this jurisdiction.[2] Johnson says this connection is yet one more strand in what he believes to the web of individuals colluding with BP in order to bury his case. Overall, Johnson has remained surprisingly optimistic regarding the American Justice system, despite his grievances. When I asked him in an interview if he had anything else that he wanted to add, he stated the following: I would like to say that, just because I caught a few rogue lawyers, one Magistrate Judge, and a handful of rogue administrative clerks in fraud, temporary collusion, and falsifying government documents, that does not change the intention of our justice system. When our forefathers established our system and rule of law, they were attempting to bring order from tyrants and establish a democracy for all to live by not to allow for personal usage and greed, or to gain favors for those who are able to afford it. Since this has happened to me, it could very well be happening to many more undeserving persons in our country. We must do something about this. I ask everyone to help me fight this travesty of justice and write the Judicial committee, your congressperson, and your senator as well as the Attorney General and make them aware that you, the average citizen, are aware of the fraud, collusion, misrepresentation, and backroom deals that are being made in our Judicial system and this case should be reversed or actually reviewed and reversed by the powers that be and bring all parties to justice for the following: Judicial Terrorism, a violation of Due Process and Due Proof, Fraud, falsifying of government documents, tampering with government documents, and intentional cover up. All of those actions stated amount to Judicial terrorism (acts against the U.S. government for personal or political gain). People, we need to work together and I need your help.

3	Saudi Ambassador FAIL: Attempt To Push Elections In Syria Falls Flat In Absence Of Elections In Saudi ArabiaBy Brandon Turbeville Hasan merely asked Mouallimi a simple question why elections were being demanded for Syria when the same is not tolerated in Saudi Arabia. Mouallimis attempt to dodge the question were rebuffed by Hasan and what resulted was Mouallimi not only admitting his countrys lack of respect for the right of Saudi citizens to choose their own leaders but also that Saudi Arabia has ulterior motives for its attempt to destroy the secular Syrian government. The entire clip of the interview, being widely shared across the Internet, is a classic example of real journalistic questioning and the inability of world leaders to justify their imperialist actions against Syria. Below is the transcript of the clip: Hasan: Many people might say thats a good thing, there should be democracy in Syria, there should be an elected government in Syria, but they might also wonder why are you ok with an elected government in Syria, but not an elected government in Saudi Arabia. If the people of Syria get to choose their rulers or head of State, why cant the people of Saudi Arabia choose their own head of state? Mouallimi: Go and ask the people of Saudi Arabia . . . Hasan: I cant, can I? Mouallimi: Of course you can. Hasan: No, its illegal in Saudi Arabia to call for a change in the government, to call for the King to come out of office. Mouallimi: I didnt say go call for a change of government, I said, go and call and ask the Saudi people whether they are happy with their system of government. Hasan: How do I do that? Whats the process? Mouallimi: In any way you want, opinion polls, anything. Hasan: What about an election? Mouallimi: Well, we will have elections at some point of time. Weve started with municipal elections, but elections is not the panacea for everything. Hasan: No, I agree, but you said you want elections in Syria, Im saying why not have elections in Saudi as well? Mouallimi: Well, just because there are elections in Syria doesnt mean there have to be elections somewhere else. I said elections and you agreed is not a panacea for everything. The key question is is the population content and happy and satisfied with the form of government they have? and I would like to claim that if you went to Saudi Arabia and if you conducted a survey in Saudi Arabia in any way, official, formal, otherwise, you will find a high degree of support for the system of government in Saudi Arabia. Hasan: Isnt that partly because if they do say they dont want this government, they want another government, theyll go to jail? Mouallimi: No, no. Hasan: Its against the law in Saudi Arabia to call for change in the system of government. . . Mouallimi: But thats not the issue . . . Hasan: That is the issue. Mouallimi: No, no its not. Hasan: How can I, as a Saudi, say I want a different system of government, if its illegal for me to say that? Mouallimi: Im saying that if there was a way by which you could ask the common people in the street anonymously, privately, any way Hasan: There is, its called voting. Mouallimi: Well, voting along the lines of Western democracy is not . . . Hasan: No along the lines of whatever you want in Syria. Mouallimi: OK, well even that is not the solution for a system of government. What is important is the pact between the government and the governed, the mutual acceptance. I can tell you that that mutual acceptance is much higher in Saudi Arabia than in almost any other country in the world. (See video here) Of course, Syria has already had elections, managing to do in war what Saudi Arabia has so far been unable to do in peace time. As the Huffington Post writes, The Middle Eastern nations crackdown on dissent and history of human rights abuses have been the subject of harsh criticism from non-governmental organizations like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. The plight of Raif Badawi, a Saudi blogger sentenced in 2014 to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes for insulting Muslim officials, has yielded international concern and outrage against the Saudi government for its restrictions on free expression. On Thursday, the Saudi journalist Alaa Brinji was sentenced to five years in prison for insulting the rulers and inciting public opinion as well as accusing security officers of killing protestors in Awamiyya through a series of tweets, Amnesty reports. The U.N. appointed Saudi Arabia as a chair of its human rights council in September a shocking move that was denounced by a major U.N. watchdog. Its 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, suggesting the decision had been influenced by other factors. Saudi Arabia has arguably the worst record in the world when it comes to religious freedom and womens rights, he said. Petro-dollars and politics have trumped human rights. Mouallimis interview was perhaps one of the most obviously hypocritical performances by a head of state of spokesman in some time. This is quite the feat since the competition for this title is fierce.

The Gallup Well-being polls give an indication of how satisfied Saudia Arabians are: tho having a per capita income on par with the US and in the top 10 in the world, the well being ranking of Saudia Arabians is abysmally low, with 27% thriving and 69% struggling. Compare that to nations with 1/5 the per capita income such as Costa Rica, with 63-35, or Bra The Saud family was placed into power by the British and Saudi Arabia is a British (and now also a U.S.) client state. Whatever the Saudis do, it is first secretly cleared with the U.S. and Briton. Source: Terrorism and The Illuminati While the author is correct in his criticism of the Saudis for gross hypocrisy relating to elections, one need not look that far a field for such hypocrisy. Every time the US President stands at a lectern to criticise other nations for their lack of democracy or lack of human rights, he is speaking hypocritically! Every time! Just ask Latin American nations which have suffered terrible consequences from American interference in their internal affairs. The suffering, death and destruction that US sponsored and supported military coups against democratically elected leaders in South America has created is legendary. The US has also carried out the same egregious activities in the Caribbean, Africa and of course the Middle East and most recently in Ukraine. It is very embarrassing to hear the President say these things because the whole World is remarking about his gross hypocrisy. Also consider American black sites, torture, incarceration without trial or due process, war crimes etc. etc. The US is the last nation to be lecturing others on these matters. I dont care who does the electing as long as I do the nominating. This is the hypocrisy we are living under in the US. And if anyone who is allowed to run, get elected, and dare to rock the boat, if they are relatively powerless they will lose the next election. If they are a real threat, they will first get a copy of the Zapruder film slipped under their door. If that doesnt work, they will get the suicide treatment. Its one thing to say election it is another to ensure a voter is eligible and a vote cast is a vote counted and that the statesman has been vetted in the case of Rubio and Cruz they are not eligible and have not been vetted properly. all top grade A strains available now new arrivals hit me up at 512 640 9206 or visit our website 
3	TSA: Now Hiring!JoyCamp 
3	Streets So Filled With Surveillance, No One Even Knows What All That Tech Junk IsAaron Dykes and Melissa Melton Things are way beyond just traffic cameras The average city intersection is jammed with so much surveillance technology, that it would be difficult to even sort out what is what. During a couple of intersections we observed, there were not only eye-in-the-sky cameras, but angles of every direction of traffic, plus several antennas relying data to the authorities, a red light camera photographing license plates and generating revenue, and what else? Well, just what are some of these other traffic gizmos? We saw one shaped like a bell a spotlight and several small white boxes and plenty more on the road most, if not all, of which are integrated on an area wide wireless mesh network connecting to law enforcement and even Homeland Security. Meanwhile, the news is discussing things like gunshot detection (and conversation monitoring) microphones on New York city streets implemented over a decade ago in places like Austin, TX and sophisticated mesh networks that can track cell phone location data and location history from pedestrians and passing cars at intersection data points in turn relaying real-time surveillance and location data to a network of law enforcement agencies, as well as Fusion Centers operated by Homeland Security and the FBI. Just think what the combination of real-time cell location data, combined with traffic light monitoring of license plates could accomplish and dont forget that Homeland Security is continuing to phase in intelligent street lights with two-way communications, monitoring, live-time behavior correction and even state-sponsored propaganda announcements. Somehow, this is bound to be just scratching the surface. We now live in 1984, and beyond 1984 in a total-surveillance panopticon fed by grass-roots sousveillance user-generated data as well as top-down police and city camera and location data. Wow! Talk about not being in Kansas anymore Aaron Dykes and Melissa Melton created TruthstreamMedia.com, where this article first appeared, as an outlet to examine the news, uncover the deceptions, pierce through the fabric of illusions, 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 This is why I will not move into the City, from the high desert eastern plains in COLORADO. They will have to kill me there. They have a database on all of their subjects. The wet dream is for it to include your location at every moment since your birth, every phone call you ever make, EVERY CONVERSATION YOU EVER HAVE, plus your medical records, bank records (say good bye to cash and bitcoin), everything you buy, and, one day, your every thought. To keep you safe. i could give a crap what theyre doing. If they are doing all this monitoring, what are YOU gonna do about it since YOU care so much about this? Exactly. Nothing. Or the usual response is, were bringing this to everyones attention. BFD. 99% of the people could care less. Face it.the american society, for the most part, could care less about all the corruption, fraud and bullying conducted by the governments and their lackeys. If they did, they would have done something well before now. So why are the gun nutz screaming about their gun rights? Oh yeah.to protect their rights and to protect themselves. I think they are all a bunch of pussies hiding behind their guns because no one even considers using it to restore this republic and our liberties from the criminal cabal that runs our country and the world. Relax already. They are such cowards. They know we are on to them and this the reason for the pervasiveness. Wow. The level of tyranny 
3	Big Banks Hit with Monster $250 Billion Lawsuit in Housing CrisisEllen Brown In June, however, the banks may have met their match, as some equally powerful titans strode onto the stage. Investors led by BlackRock, the worlds largest asset manager, and PIMCO, the worlds largest bond-fund manager, have sued some of the worlds largest banks for breach of fiduciary duty as trustees of their investment funds. The investors are seeking damages for losses surpassing $250 billion. That is the equivalent of one million homeowners with $250,000 in damages suing at one time. The defendants are the so-called trust banks that oversee payments and enforce terms on more than $2 trillion in residential mortgage securities. They include units of Deutsche Bank AG, U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, HSBC Holdings PLC, and Bank of New York Mellon Corp. Six nearly identical complaints charge the trust banks with breach of their duty to force lenders and sponsors of the mortgage-backed securities to repurchase defective loans. Why the investors are only now suing is complicated, but it involves a recent court decision on the statute of limitations. Why the trust banks failed to sue the lenders evidently involves the cozy relationship between lenders and trustees. The trustees also securitized loans in pools where they were not trustees. If they had started filing suit demanding repurchases, they might wind up suedon other deals in retaliation. Better to ignore the repurchase provisions of the pooling and servicing agreements and let the investors take the lossesbetter, at least, until they sued. Who Will Pay the Banks or the Depositors? The worlds largest banks are considered too big to fail for a reason. The fractional reserve banking scheme is a form of shell game, which depends on liquidity borrowed at very low interest from other banks or the money market. When Lehman Brothers went bankrupt in 2008, triggering a run on the money market, the whole interconnected shadow banking system nearly went down with it. Congress then came to the rescue with a taxpayer bailout, and the Federal Reserve followed with its quantitative easing fire hose. But in 2010, the Dodd Frank Act said there would be no more government bailouts. Instead, the banks were to save themselves with bail ins, meaning they were to recapitalize themselves by confiscating a portion of the funds of their creditors including not only their shareholders and bondholders but the largest class of creditor of any bank, their depositors. Theoretically, deposits under $250,000 are protected by FDIC deposit insurance. But the FDIC fund contains only about $47 billion a mere 20% of the Black Rock/PIMCO damage claims. Before 2010, the FDIC could borrow from the Treasury if it ran short of money. But since the Dodd Frank Act eliminates government bailouts, the availability of Treasury funds for that purpose is now in doubt. When depositors open their online accounts and see that their balances have shrunk or disappeared, a run on the banks is likely. And since banks rely on each other for liquidity, the banking system as we know it could collapse. The result could be drastic deleveraging, erasing trillions of dollars in national wealth. Phoenix Rising Some pundits say the global economy would then come crashing down. But in a thought-provoking March 2014 article called American Delusionalism, or Why History Matters, John Michael Greer disagrees. He notes that historically, governments have responded by modifying their financial systems: Massive credit collapses that erase very large sums of notional wealth and impact the global economy are hardly a new phenomenon . . . but one thing that has never happened as a result of any of them is the sort of self-feeding, irrevocable plunge into the abyss that current fast-crash theories require. The reason for this is that credit is merely one way by which a society manages the distribution of goods and services. . . . A credit collapse . . . doesnt make the energy, raw materials, and labor vanish into some fiscal equivalent of a black hole; theyre all still there, in whatever quantities they were before the credit collapse, and all thats needed is some new way to allocate them to the production of goods and services. This, in turn, governments promptly provide. In 1933, for example, faced with the most severe credit collapse in American history, Franklin Roosevelt temporarily nationalized the entire US banking system, seized nearly all the privately held gold in the country, unilaterally changed the national debt from payable in gold to payable in Federal Reserve notes (which amounted to a technical default), and launched a series of other emergency measures.The credit collapse came to a screeching halt, famously, in less than a hundred days. Other nations facing the same crisis took equally drastic measures, with similar results. . . . Faced with a severe crisis, governments can slap on wage and price controls, freeze currency exchanges, impose rationing, raise trade barriers, default on their debts, nationalize whole industries, issue new currencies, allocate goods and services by fiat, and impose martial law to make sure the new economic rules are followed to the letter, if necessary, at gunpoint. Again, these arent theoretical possibilities; every one of them has actually been used by more than one government faced by a major economic crisis in the last century and a half. That historical review is grounds for optimism, but confiscation of assets and enforcement at gunpoint are still not the most desirable outcomes. Better would be to have an alternative system in place and ready to implement before the boom drops. The Better Mousetrap North Dakota has established an effective alternative model that other states might do well to emulate. In 1919, the state legislature pulled its funds out of Wall Street banks and put them into the states own publicly-owned bank, establishing financial sovereignty for the state. The Bank of North Dakota has not only protected the states financial interests but has been a moneymaker for it ever since. On a national level, when the Wall Street credit system fails, the government can turn to the innovative model devised by our colonial forebears and start issuing its own currency and credita power now usurped by private banks but written into the US Constitution as belonging to Congress. The chief problem with the paper scrip of the colonial governments was the tendency to print and spend too much. The Pennsylvania colonists corrected that systemic flaw by establishing a publicly-owned bank, which lent money to farmers and tradespeople at interest. To get the funds into circulation to cover the interest, some extra scrip was printed and spent on government services. The money supply thus expanded and contracted naturally, not at the whim of government officials but in response to seasonal demands for credit. The interest returned to public coffers, to be spent on the common weal. The result was a system of money and credit that was sustainable without taxes, price inflation or government debt not to mention without credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, central bank manipulation, slicing and dicing of mortgages, rehypothecation in the repo market, and the assorted other fraudulent schemes underpinning our systemically risky banking system today. Relief for Homeowners? Will the BlackRock/PIMCO suit help homeowners? Not directly. But it will get some big guns on the scene, with the ability to do all sorts of discovery, and the staff to deal with the results. Fraud is grounds for rescission, restitution and punitive damages. The homeowners may not have been parties to the pooling and servicing agreements governing the investor trusts, but if the whole business model is proven to be fraudulent, they could still make a case for damages. In the end, however, it may be the titans themselves who take each other down, clearing the way for a new phoenix to rise from the ashes.

2	Sheriff Joe Issues Massive Challenge To Sharpton... Will He Accept? Sheriff Joe Arpaio, known to the public as Americas toughest sheriff and also one of the most controversial, recently made a public challenge to Al Sharpton. Lets come on down here, Sheriff Joe told KSAZ. I think youre the prime guy that ought to go through this and learn a lesson. The statement came after Phoenix-based Jarrett Maupin took up the challenge of going through three police training simulations in which the officer has to encounter life-threatening situations. After going through the simulation, Maupin had shot an unarmed suspect. He spoke publicly about is new appreciation of what police officers are forced to go through. I shot because he was in that zone, Maupin told reporters. I didnt see him armed. He came clearly to do some harm to my person. Its hard to make that call; it shakes you up. I didnt understand how important compliance was, but after going through this; yeah, my attitude has changed. This is all unfolding in 10 to 15 seconds. People need to comply with the orders of law enforcement officers for their own sake. What do you think of the invitation extended to Sharpton? Will he accept the challenge?

2	Youll Never Believe Why This Rapper Decided To Rewrite Our National Anthem Recently, a group of electronic musicians took it upon themselves to rewrite the Star Spangled Banner, Americas national anthem. The new version of Francis Scott Keys masterpiece is being reworked and rewritten in order to be played at a museum in Baltimore that focuses on African-American history. Our interpretation of the Star Spangled Banner is trying to reflect a much more diverse population, one of the musicians in the ground told reporters. The song belongs to the citizens, the beat box artist who initiated the change told reporters. If we can use the Star Spangled Banner to express that idea, we can get back to the idea that music belongs to the citizens. What do you think? Should our national anthem be left alone? 
3	Use Food To Aid In Your Cancer Fight!The moment you receive a cancer diagnosis, your doctor will probably go through a list of your treatment options and what he or she will do in your particular case. Many people have similar conversations with family, friends, and co-workers about the future and what help youll need in your personal and professional life. It may be tempting, even easy, to give up control of your life until youre better. Thats a mistake. This is your disease now. Its your body, your choice and your responsibility. Let the experts do their job (and ask lots of questions) but remember to keep actively working toward your own recovery. Chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery deplete your mind, body, and spirit. Any person who has dealt with cancer personally or in regards to someone they love can attest to the turmoil the disease causes in so many areas. It is easy to become lost in feelings of helplessness and worry. Diet is a simple yet crucial aspect of your life that you can control. Its critical to pay close attention to the food you consume during treatment. Internally youre waging a war and you need to feed yourself foods that support your fight that might even boost the effectiveness of standard cancer therapies. Many doctors turn up their collective noses at the use of superfoods during treatment and recovery. They may attempt to mock your questions and some may threaten that healthy, whole foods are detrimental to cancer drug efficacy. Oncologists imply that antioxidants interfere with the drugs administered during chemotherapy and/or radiation treatments by neutralizing them. However, patients undergoing these treatments are commonly prescribed amifostine and dexrazoxane both incredibly powerful antioxidants. This represents the primary division between the traditionalists who wish to stick with business as usual from those seeking to compliment cancer treatments by boosting your bodys ability to help itself. In studies begun in the 1970s, patients consumed antioxidant-rich foods during their cancer treatments while researchers logged the results. The outcome proved as it has time and time again that antioxidants do not interfere with drug therapy effectiveness. In fact, in many cases, these cancer-fighting foods enhance the power of the drugs for better results for the patient! Follow up studies found that the patients who maintained these healthier eating regimens after treatment had higher survival rates. Though the American Cancer Society corroborated these findings, they continue to downplay the importance of food in aiding the fight. Obviously, choosing a healthy diet is a good idea for everyone. It is especially critical for cancer patients. If chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery are part of your treatment protocol, your body will be fighting the disease as well as the results of the treatment. Your body needs all the help it can get! Patients will feel proactive in their own case, try new foods and recipes, and give their bodies a little something extra during their treatment. One of the biggest issues after cancer therapy is that your immune system is ravaged. It can take years to rebuild it and for some, it may never return to pre-cancer strength. Food is such a simple addition. It does help protect you from many of the side effects and might protect some of your cells from destruction by chemo or radiation. Here at The Truth About Cancer, we talk a lot about using food to ease symptoms, protect your healthy cells, and even give your body antibodies to prevent cancer in the first place. Fatty Fish Fish oils contain long chain omega-3 fatty acids. These healthy fats are a potent anti-inflammatory and protect the body from negative hormones produced during treatment that inflame and irritate. Oily fish like mackerel, wild salmon, tuna, sardines, and herring also contain vitamins A and D known to be forceful fighters in the battle against cancer. Nuts and Seeds Nuts like walnuts, Brazil nuts and almonds contain selenium, a strong anti-cancer compound. Pumpkin and sunflower seeds are packed with zinc and vitamin E. The vitamin E provides your immune system with a huge boost and zinc aids in the absorption of vitamin C. Red and Yellow Peppers Red and yellow peppers are packed with vitamin C. This influential antioxidant strengthens your immune system and neutralizes toxins. Peppers contain even more vitamin C than is commonly found in oranges. They also contain carotenoids that convert to vitamin A. Other sources of these are carrots, sweet potatoes, and dried apricots. Mushrooms Chinese medicine has used medicinal mushrooms for hundreds of years as blood purifiers, immune system balancers, and to aid in the performance of internal organs. Shiitake, Miatake, Portobello and even button mushrooms all contain natural medicines. Theyve been shown to reduce some of the worst side effects of treatment such as hair loss and nausea. They boost immunity, increase survival rates, and studies reported that they shrank certain cancerous tumors by as much as 70%. Purple Foods No one talks about purple foods and we should! Purple eggplant, dark purple grapes, beets, blueberries, plums, and cherries all contain massive amounts of anthocyanins. Anthocyanins have been proven in countless studies to kill cancer cells. Other benefits include supporting internal organs and boosting immunity. Recent studies show anthocyanins compounds are easily absorbed by the body and immediately begin defending the body against diseases that result from poor diet and negative lifestyle habits. More Thoughts to Remember A healthy diet might seem hard to accomplish but youll be shocked how quickly you feel the effects on your entire body. Enlist friends or family for suggestions on recipes or menus. If you have a friend who loves to cook, ask for help with meals that can be made ahead of time and stock your freezer for days when you have no energy. No matter how tempting or easy, do everything you can to stick with your new healthier, cancer-fighting food nutrition plan. There is a Better Way No one wants cancer and if you get it once, you never want to go through the emotional, financial, and physical trauma again. All over the world, incredible advances are being made in the fight against cancer. Its strange that they dont make big news in the United States while the rest of the world is fascinated by them. For instance, did you know 1-in-5 cancer deaths is due to obesity? A compound found in eggplant cures most types of skin cancer without side effects? There are two primary food additives that are responsible for brain damage and multiple types of cancer? (MSG and aspartame) Cancer is big business and we need to opt out of being part of its bottom line. Experts estimate that more than half of the cancers diagnosed in the world are preventable.

2	Illegal Immigrant Welfare Leeches Just Got Some Very Bad News According to recent reports, Maine Governor Paul LePage has just proposed a two-year budget that will change the requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, stripping benefits from illegal immigrants and those who do not meet a specific set of standards. This is an investment in Maines future, and will truly pay dividends in Maines economy, Kathy Kilrain del Rio of the Main Womens Lobby said in a statement. Still, the bill is not being accepted by all. Liberals are speaking out against the legislation, claiming that only a few immigrants are actually living in Maine. Currently, Maine is one of only five U.S. states allowing illegal immigrants to collect SNAP benefits. What do you think? Do you support LePages plan to make citizenship a requirement for benefits? 
3	The War on 3D Printing BeginsTony Cartalucci The pretext being used to begin this war is a 3D printed gun built and demonstrated by Defense Distributed in Austin, Texas. After designing, printing out, and firing the 3D printed gun, the US State Department demanded that the designs, distributed for free on the Internet, be taken down claiming tenuously that by posting the designs on the Internet, arms export bans may have been violated this the same government that is on record, openly shipping arms, cash, and military equipment to its own listed terrorist organizations from theMujahedeen e-Khalq (MEK or MKO) in Iraq and Iran, to the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) in Libya, to Al Qaedas Syrian franchise, Jabhat al-Nusra. In the Independents article, US government orders Cody Wilson and Defense Distributed to remove blueprint for 3D-printed handgun from the web, its reported that: The US government has demanded the removal of online files which allow users to 3D-print their own unregistered gun at home. The blueprint has so far been downloaded more than 100,000 times since Defense Distributed which spent a year designing the Liberator handgun made it available online. Last week Defense Distributed built the gun from plastic on an industrial 3D printer bought on eBay for $8,000 (5,140), and fired it. The Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance wrote to the companys founder Cody Wilson demanding the designs be removed from public access until he could prove he had not broken laws governing shipping weapons overseas. US President Barack Obama, in his 2013 State of the Union address, according to CNETs Heres the 3D-printing institute in Obamas State of the Union, referred specifically to 3D printing, claiming: After shedding jobs for more than 10 years, our manufacturers have added about 500,000 jobs over the past three. Caterpillar is bringing jobs back from Japan. Ford is bringing jobs back from Mexico. After locating plants in other countries like China, Intel is opening its most advanced plant right here at home. And this year, Apple will start making Macs in America again. Caterpillar, Ford, Intel, and Apple are large globalized monopolies the personal manufacturing revolution would not see state-of-the art labs open up in towns across America to help augment the bottom lines of these Fortune 500 corporations, but would see decentralized alternatives to these corporations cut into and utterly gut their bottom lines a reality US President Barack Obama and the corporate-financier interests that dictate his agenda must surely be aware of. In the case of Ford and other big-auto giants, who by right should be shuttered and out of business already had it not been for their unwarranted influence and power buying them immense bailouts from Americas taxpayers, there are already alternative business models undermining their monopolies. In America itself, there is Local Motors who recently gave a short tour of their manufacturing facility they called a microfactory. These microfactorires represent the next step in industrialization where small companies will cater to smaller, local markets and niches, entirely replacing the centralized Fortune 500 corporations of Detroit, barely clinging to life and their unsustainable, antiquated business model as it is. Video: Inside Local Motors Rally Fighter and open-source collaborative microfactory production. The only conceivable means by which big-auto monopolies could hope to survive is by having the same bought-and-paid for politicians it used to bail out its collapsed business model, impose sweeping regulations to make it illegal for microfactories to operate. We can already imagine, by extrapolating from the US State Departments move against Defense Distributed, the arguments that will be made. These will be centered around safety, taxation, and perhaps even claims as bold as threatening jobs of autoworkers at Fortune 500 monopolies. Similar ploys are currently working their way through a legislative and sociopolitical gauntlet in regards to the organic food movement. In reality, whatever excuse the US government has made to take down the first fully 3D printed guns CAD files from the Internet, it is fear of lost hegemony that drives this burgeoning war on personal manufacturing. James Ball of the Guardian, in an article titled, US government attempts to stifle 3D-printer gun designs will ultimately fail, predicts that: This is a ban thats going to be virtually impossible to enforce: as almost any music company will testify, stopping online filesharing by banning particular sites or devices is roughly akin to stopping a tsunami with a bucket. Another approach might be to attempt to ban or regulate 3D printers themselves. To do so is to stifle a potentially revolutionary technology in order to address a hypothetical risk and thats even before the practical problems of defining a 3D printer for the legislation. It would have to be defined broadly enough for a law to be effective, but narrowly enough so that enforcing the law doesnt take out half of the equipment used in every day manufacturing. It is likely a futile ambition. Indeed as a 3D printer is essentially nothing more than circuit boards, stepper motors, and heating elements to melt and extrude layers of plastic it would be as impossible as it would be ridiculous to try to stem the tide of 3D printing by regulating printers, as it will be to attempt to regulate and ban any and all prints that threaten the current establishments monopolies and hold on power. Everyone is eventually going to have access to this technology and by consequence, the ability to print out on their desktop what Fortune 500 corporations have held monopolies over for generations, including arms manufacturing, automobiles, and electronics. The age of empire, corporatism, and elitism is drawing to a close, but apparently not without one last battle. How to Win the Battle While some may be paralyzed in fear over the prospect of their neighbor one day having the ability to print out a fully functional weapon, it must be realized that like all other prolific technologies, the fact that it will be in everyones hands means that more good people than bad will have access to it, and it will be in their collective interests to create and maintain stability within any emerging technological paradigm. Just like with information technology, where malicious activity certainly exists, more people are interested in the smooth, stable function of this technology in daily life and have created a paradigm where disruptions happen, but life goes on. People must embrace, not fear 3D printing. Key to its integration into society is to ensure that as many people as possible understand it and have access to it. This must be done as quickly as possible, to outpace inevitable legislation that seeks to strangle this revolution in its cradle. Education: We must learn as much about this technology as possible. 3D printing incorporates skills in electronics, 3D design, and material science. Developing skill-sets in any of these areas would be beneficial. There are endless resources available online for free that offer information and tutorials on how to develop these skills just an Internet search away. Alternatively, for people curious about this technology and seeking to get hands-on experience, they could seek out and visit their local hackerspace (an extensive list of spaces can be found here). Hackerspaces are essentially technological fitness clubs, where one pays dues monthly for access to a space and the equipment within it to work on projects either individually or in a collaborative effort. Hackerspaces generally attract people with the necessary skill-sets to assemble, use, and troubleshoot 3D printers currently on the market today. They also possess the skill-sets needed to build 3D printers and other computer-controlled manufacturing systems from parts that as of yet have not been regulated. Generally, hackerspaces host monthly workshops that help new people develop basic skills like soldering and programming, or 3D design and even builds where purchased 3D printer kits are constructed with the guidance of a resident expert. The proliferation of this knowledge will make the already daunting task of stripping personal manufacturing technology from the people, all but impossible. Developing Local Institutions: It is essential to both expand existing hackerspaces and their use of personal manufacturing technology, as well as establish and build up new spaces. Ingraining hackerspaces as essential local institutions in our communities is one of the keys to heading off the coming war on personal manufacturing and other disruptive technologies sure to gain the ire of legislators as corporate-financier monopolies begin to suffer. A place where people can go learn and use this technology, as well as collaborate in its advancement will turn 3D printing and other disruptive technologies from curiosities, into practical tools communities can use to reinvigorate their local economies, solve local problems, and overall improve their lives themselves, independently and self-sufficiently. A hackerspace can start with something as simple as a single table with several chairs around it and some shared equipment used during weekend get-togethers with friends, and can develop into something as significant as a full-fledged organization with hundreds of members and global reach. For more information on existing hackerspaces, and inspiration for those seeking to start their own, please see: Inspiration for Starting a Hackerspace. Ignoring and Circumventing Illegitimate Governments and Their Declarations: As already cited, the US government is currently funding a myriad of its own listed terrorist organizations to horrific effect from Iraq and Iran, to Libya and Syria. To declare a 3D printed gun outlawed and its presence on the Internet a violation of arms export laws, is as hypocritical as it is illegitimate. The government, in a free society, works for the people. The people have not asked the government to ban 3D printed guns, just like they have not asked for the myriad of laws the government is currently citing as justification for its unilateral declaration. The government does not dictate to the people what they can and cannot have or what they can and cannot make. As such, we are not obligated to respect their declarations in regards to 3D printing any more than we have demonstrably respected their declarations regarding so-called intellectual property. Just as file sharing continues unabated, while alternative media supplants what is left of the corporate-medias monopolies, a similar paradigm must be developed and encouraged across the tech community in regards to 3D printing, personal manufacturing, and other emerging disruptive technologies such as synthetic biology. Conclusion Already, parallels are being drawn between 3D printing and the shifting paradigms of information technology and file sharing. Whether or not the average person joins in against the war on 3D printing and personal manufacturing, the tech community will almost certainly continue on with their success from the realm of shaping and moving information to the world of shaping and moving atoms. However, for the average person clearly aware that something is not quite right about where things in general are going and who are seeking solutions, establishing local institutions that leverage unprecedented technology to solve our problems ourselves, without disingenuous politicians and their endless schemes, seems like a sure choice. There is already a burgeoning community of talented people working on bringing this technology to its maturity and leveraging it for the benefit of communities and individuals. If we are to ensure this technology stays in the peoples hands and is used in the best interests of the people, then as many of the people as possible must get involved. Do some additional research into 3D printing, locate your local hackerspace, and/or start a hackerspace of your own. Start looking into buying or building a 3D printer and developing ideas on how to use this technology both for education and for local, tangible development. The future is what we make of it, and if we with our own two hands are making nothing, we have no future.

3	After Saudis Beheaded 47 People, Belgium Now Refusing to Sell them Arms, Germany May FollowBy Matt Agorist Immediately following the beheadings, countries across the globeexcept for the United Statesdenounced the barbaric move. Rightfully outraged with the beheadings, Shiite Muslims inIraq, Yemen, Lebanon and Bahrain angrily condemned the executions, and Iranian protesters stormed the Saudi embassy in Tehran. These inhumane acts of murder on the part of the Saudis have forced the hands of those who sell them weapons; and on Monday, Germany became the first country to question their arms trade deal. We must now review whether inthe future we should take a more critical stance onselling arms toSaudi Arabia, German Vice Chancellor, Sigmar Gabriel saidMonday. While Germany has said they will review their decision, Belgium just took it a step further on Tuesday, by immediately decliningSaudi Arabias request for military equipment supplies. We have rejected the request [for military equipment supplies toSaudi Arabia], Geert Bourgeois told the Flemish Parliament, asquoted bythe RTBF broadcaster.If there is a possibility that the weapons may be used for internal repression, I refuse. The moves by Germany to advocate for a review, and Belgium to renounce the selling of weapons to such a repressive regime are heartening and should be a model for all those involved in arming a country who beheads more people than ISIS. Of course, the US is not about to give up their largest weapons export contract, even if the weapons are used to oppress entire nations and murder their children. Immediately after the beheadings,House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce took to CNN to blame the Saudis executions on Iranians. As Daniel McAdams reports for the Ron Paul Institute, Royce falsely claimed that the Iranian military invaded Yemen.But that is demonstrably untrue. It was the Saudis who invaded Yemen. It seems that the Saudi influence over the United States is far and wide, even spreading to the presidential candidates, who all courtsey to our Saudi ally by pledging their blind support of the terrorist regime. Its no coincidence that President Obama was showered with $1.3 million in gifts from the Saudi King last year. Obama is responsible for forging the largest weapons sale in American history, all of which went to Saudi Arabia. Matt Agorist writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com I see nothing wrong with the beheading. We should do the same with the terrorists we have that have been convicted in this Country. Like the one who shot that cop in Philly. There is no doubt that he is guilty, so be-head him. That way he will never do anything like that again. Will you also behead the bad cops who got away for killing innocent or not dangerous, or not life threatening US citizens, especially the Black citizens? Whats good for the goose On the other hand, maybe no executions period given how screwed up our courts are watched the documentary The Thin Blue Line when I was a kid. Anyway, a bad cop would suffer more from a long jail sentence than a quick exit. I would also behead anyone who is sentenced to life without parole. If there is no question of his or her guilt, why keep them alive? Riot insurance for the EU? Thats nothing compared to how many people Big Pharma kills every year. Iran executes far more people than the Saudis, over 1000 in 2015, 743 in 2014 most said to be for drug crimes but also some convictions were religious minorities fighting against religion, and corruption on the earth. Theres a surplus of bad actors in every nation. KSA is getting the limelight now to set up a narrative of a rift between the west / US and the Saudis to make Saudi de-pegging from the dollar seem like an organic situation, and, predictably, the UN Nanny and Global community will have to quell the widespread bickering. Irans executions are nothing compared to the many millions the US has killed abroad True and the Banksters minions want to disarm the public while they keep their hollow points. State sanctioned genocide in Communist China and Russia brutally ended the lives of another ~ 60 80 million. Big Pharma and geoengineering = soft kill. Its all about perspective, while Germany and Belgium follow the staged script laid out in the global elites Foreign Policy journal and hinted at in the 28 pages being dangled by some in congress suggesting the Saudis were the rogue masterminds and perps behind 9/11. The US executed only 28 people during 2015. Guess the Arab countries top the list. http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/execution-list-2015 Until the NWO tells them to do otherwise. nothing to do with the new world order missy. so dont lie. Hmm, refusing to do business with monsters? What a concept United States! Perhaps this will show D.C. how a decent nation should work? Shame on amerika. 
1	Despite his having almost no actual knowledge or strong convictions related to the subject at hand, sources confirmed that local man Brendan Enos managed to hastily throw together a makeshift opinion from the viewpoint that was currently dominating the conversation at a dinner party Wednesday night. Yeah, I agree with what Gregs saying, but I definitely see how theres two sides to the argument, said Enos, who, over the course of the discussion, had internalized enough of his friends passionate talking points to assemble a temporary point of view aligned with the majority opinion, frequently reiterating comments others had already made in order to support and defend his working thesis. Right, right. I think thats true, but heres what you need to remember. At press time, Enos decided to roll his eyes at a counterpoint that he was desperately hoping someone else on his side would have a sufficient enough understanding of to refute. 
2	BREAKING: ISIS Beheads Three Christian Priests [VIDEO] WARNING: The video below has extraordinarily graphic content. A disturbing new video was recently released, showing a group of Muslims terrorists beheading a priest and two other Christians. Reportedly, the terrorist organization had attempted to get the men to convert to Islam, but they refused. Consequently, they were sentenced to death. And a violent one at that. Watch the video below (if you can stomach it) and tell us what you think. Do organizations like this need to be stopped immediately? UPDATE: Our apologies, this video has since been removed. 
1	In a non-news event, which did not occur and therefore warrants no coverage, nothing at all happened to 28 Tibetan protesters and their screaming families this Monday. According to the great and trustworthy Chinese government, the eternal silencing of demonstrators was in no way carried out at 6:15 p.m., shortly after dusk, by officers of the People's Armed Police. Moreover, at this time, noxious gases were not at all fired into the teeming crowd, especially not at the children, who failed to fall like sacks of flour onto the pavement below. 'Stop, you can't do this,' a Tibetan woman reportedly cried as though she were being violently detained, which, as noted, was impossible. 'Where are you taking me? Get your hands off me!' Reports of the highest order, released by officials of the highest order, confirmed a number of other events that absolutely did not happen. At 6:42 p.m., two fully manned paramilitary transports failed to arrive at the scene, and, as a result, did not send the already frightened crowd into a mass panic. After not being loaded into the nonexistent vehicles, the protesters were then not driven, deep into the night, to a remote rice field. Once there, the reliable report states that men and women were in no way unloaded from the backs of vehicles, made to strip off their clothes, and forced to kneel down, heaving backs toward the full moon. Nothing then occurred. 'Dig now, it is already late,' first commanding officer Xiu Li Jeng would have said, were he not at home with his wife and other alibis at the time. 'Dig quietly and dig fast.' Eyewitnesses, including a 73-year-old villager and three tourists wandering by at the wrong time of night, were likewise not sacrificed for the lasting good of the Republic.

3	The Face of Fracking Victims (Moving and Powerful Video)selfnews Post We are given insight into real human suffering when we hear the stories of those who wind up beaten and tortured at the hands of a police state war culture gone wild; those who fall victim to a Ponzi-scheme economy; those suffering with vaccine injuries, and other harsh realities. Perhaps worst of all are those who are deemed to be nothing more than a cost of doing business, as we saw with the BP Gulf Oil Disaster. It is then that health, wealth, and even hope fall prey simultaneously. Fracking is one such environmental evil that is falling hard upon select communities in places across America. The following video is powerful in that it is not a technical overview of what fracking is, not an analysis of the damage it potentially causes, nor is it political. It is simply a few human stories of people who desperately want their voices heard, and are having it fall on deaf ears among those whose duty it is to protect them. This film is shared courtesy of Nature Abounds friend, Rich Waters, a local photographer and videographer who is documenting how fracking is changing the lives of his neighbors in Southwest Pennsylvania. It is activism at its most poignant.

3	Dianne Feinsteins shocking lies about the number of civilians killed by U.S. drone programMadison Ruppert, Contributor This assassination program, mostly but not entirely comprised of strikes carried out by drones, was recently shown to be even more disturbing than previously thought with the leak of a Justice Department white paper, although a federal court ruling determined that the Obama administration never has to explain the legal basis for the strikes in court. The program also has some calling for increased oversight through another secret court even though Attorney General Eric Holder claims the secret reviews of classified evidence carried out by the Obama administration count as due process. But for the past several years, this committee has done significant oversight of the governments conduct of targeted strikes, and the figures we have obtained from the executive branch, which we have done our utmost to verify, confirm that the number of civilian casualties that have resulted from such strikes each year has typically been in the single digits, Feinstein said. The claim that civilian deaths resulting from the use of targeted force, as she put it, have typically been in the single digits is simply ludicrous. Conor Friedersdorf massively underestimates the magnitude of this lie when he calls the claim imprecise. It is nothing short of an egregious lie. Researchers at the Bureau of Investigative Journalism in the UK estimatesthat the number of civilians killed in drone strikes in Pakistan not including those killed by drones in Yemen, Somalia and elsewhere to be at a minimum 2 in 2004, 6 in 2005, 96 in 2006, 4 in 2007, 74 in 2008, 119 in 2009, 97 in 2010, 68 in 2011 and 7 in 2012. Maybe Feinstein chose to only look at the figures for 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2012? Even then, the claim would be dubious at best since those figures only include Pakistan. Keep in mind, as the Bureau of Investigative Journalism points out, that from 2004-2013 the CIA has conducted 364 drone strikes in Pakistan. 312 of those have been during the Obama administration. Somewhere from 473-893 civilians have been reported killed as a result of those 364 strikes and 176 children were reported killed in Pakistan alone. Anywhere from 1,270 to 1,433 civilians were reportedly injured. Remember, this is all just in Pakistan where the CIA targets rescuers and funerals with drone strikes. In Yemen, 42-52 U.S. drone strikes have been confirmed from 2002 to 2013 while 54-64 total U.S. operations have been confirmed, according to the Bureau. Possible extra U.S. operations range from 135 to 157 and possible extra U.S. drone strikes range from 77 to 93. The total number of people killed ranges from 374 to 1,112 with 72 to 178 civilians killed by all operations. The number of children killed by all U.S. operations in Yemen during the period ranges from 27 to 37. Thankfully, the numbers in Somalia are significantly lower, but those numbers are from 2007 to 2013. The total number of U.S. strikes is 10-23, while the total number of U.S. drone strikes range from three to nine. Total number of people reported killed ranges from 58 to 170 while civilians killed range from 11 to 57 with one to three children reported killed. Friedersdorf also points out that there have been instances where a single strike caused more civilian casualties than Feinstein claims occur in an entire year. One example is a 2009 strike in Yemen which resulted in far more civilian deaths than Feinsteins numbers would allow. Some months after the attack in Al Majalah, Amnesty International released photos showing an American cluster bomb and a propulsion unit from a Tomahawk cruise missile, according to an article published on the New Yorkers Daily Comment blog. A subsequent inquiry by the Yemeni parliament found that fourteen Al Qaeda fighters had been killedalong with forty-one civilians, including twenty-three children. As the article points out, when American officials were spoken to, they seemed genuinely perplexed. They didnt deny that a large number of civilians had been killed. They felt bad about it. But the aerial surveillance, they said, had clearly showed that a training camp for militants was operating there. It was a terrible outcome, an unnamed official told Dexter Filkins, the author of the piece. Nobody wanted that. If Feinsteins claim was accurate, the casualties from that single targeted strike would have to be spread out over some five years. Thats not the only single incident that proves Feinsteins claim to be completely and totally false. An incredibly detailed and lengthy report published in September 2012, Living Under Drones, by the International Human Rights and Conflict Resolution Clinic at Stanford Law School and the Global Justice Clinic at New York University School of Law focused on one such incident in Pakistan. The report focused on a single drone strike on March 17, 2011 in Pakistan which killed around 40 or more people according to nearly all available sources. While individuals with Pakistani intelligence said that 12 or 13 of those killed were Taliban militants, the report stated that, the Associated Press investigation found that it was likely only four. Of those four, only one, Sherabat Khan, has ever been identified by name. Separate investigations carried out by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism so far obtained the names of 24 civilians killed who died in the strike, according to the report. The most noteworthy of all points, however, is that according to a New York Times report from last year, Obama embraced a disputed method for counting civilian casualties that did little to box him in. It in effect counts all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants, according to several administration officials, unless there is explicit intelligence posthumously proving them innocent. This method of counting civilian deaths is, on its face, completely absurd. Feinsteins justification for trusting the Obama administrations numbers are perhaps even more absurd. Spencer Ackerman of Danger Room asked Feinstein why the Intelligence Committee would be confident in believing that the CIA was not misleading Congress about civilian deaths from drones when they previously misled Congress about their torture and detention program. Thats a good question, actually, Feinstein said, according to Danger Room. Thats a good question. She said she felt the CIA wasnt defensive of the drones in the way it was defensive of the torture program, however, wrote Ackerman. This issue is only going to become more important as outgoing Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta stated that the U.S. needs an open-ended drone war in order to prevent a future attack on America and the problem of domestic drone use is becoming increasingly contentious.

3	No Way to Avoid Global Financial Collapse, Says Predictive SoftwareSusanne Posel, Contributor As the mega-banks face the controlled demolition of the US dollar, they have taken the stance of victim to the implosion; and along with insurance companies, finance corporations, hedge and money-market funds are being touted according to the Financial Stability Oversight Council as being important institutions. In America, the mega banks have been buying upsmaller banks through mergers and acquisitions. While keeping their names to fool the American public into believing they are banking independently, these mega-banks (i.e. JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank and Wells Fargo) are consolidating financial power by manipulating control over the banking industry without answering to any regulatory body. The governmental intervention into saving the mega-banks is called constructive ambiguity. This term refers to the banks being subsidized by the US government with cash pay-offs. An estimated 70% of some of the mega-banks worth is provided by the government. Meanwhile HBSC has assistedin the money laundering of terrorist groups such as the Mexican cartels during the Fast and Furious scandal. Barclays was the originatorof the Libor scheme where interest rates to the tune of trillions of dollars that were siphoned from mortgages, loans and investments that was meant to cause countries to declare sovereign debt to the banking cartels so that they will own the nations of the world. Goldman Sachs purposefullyliedto investors in 2010 to defraud them out of money that they used to reallocate to debt, which caused the cash to disappear into the coffers of the banking cartels. JPMorgan Chase financed Enron Corporation by manipulating investors with fake research on the worth of stocks and bonds. This caused the loss of millions. Military families were over-chargedfor mortgages even while active duty soldiers were stationed overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan their families in the US were being foreclosed on. Citigroup also financedEnron Corporations and fraud clients for billions of dollars by selling stocks and bonds at WorldCom. The fake investments were mortgage-backed securities. After committing fraud and siphoning wealth from the populations of sovereign countries, here in the US, the banking cartels domestically are preparing for the devaluation and purposeful destruction of the US dollar. A complicated algorithm calledDebtRankforetells of financial crises globally. The development team of DebtRank has realizedthat because of confidential global transactions of the global Elite through the worldwide stock market, there cannot be an aversion to a central banking controlled financial collapse. In response to the coming implosion, the Federal Reserve Bank is inventing electronic fiat currency. This keeps the Ponzi scheme going. On the surface it all appears to ok. However, undercover and out of the general publics sight, the manipulation of insurance rates, market values, mortgages are directly contributing to the complete banking system collapse. Strangely, the Obama administration has been demanding that the technocrats in the Eurozone keep propping upGreece until after the November elections in the US. In an October meeting the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Commission and representatives of Obama will come together to discuss stratagem on how to benefit the most from the fall of Greece. The representatives in this meeting believe that Obama is a better facilitator of their agendas then Romney. Obama has commentedto aides on a trip to Chile: Im going to other parts of the world and theyre showing me tremendous investments in infrastructure and innovations in education. Theyre willing to spend money on that. The Republican budget reflects a fundamental pessimism. It says that to get the deficit in line, we cant afford to be as visionary as these countries, and we cant be optimistic because theyre not willing to let an extra penny come from high-income people. Obamas vision for America includes shrinking infrastructure to facilitate a Facist Communistic rule. The Obama campaign has focusedon the divide-and-conquer scheme of racial loyalty and white mans guilt is being exploited. In the political realm, fear-mongers are touting that the Tea Party is being propped up to become the target of the U.S. government as a threat to continuity of government; while in reality US veterans are being detained in mental wards across the country because of the real dangerthey pose to the contingency plans for martial law. These plans are entwined in the coming financial collapse, the November elections, and the demonization of US veterans in the mainstream media. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	The Alchemy of Synthetic Finance and Global GovernanceJay Dyer This past week, the worlds vultures, the economic power elite, met in Davos to discuss the maintenance of their global fiat hegemony. Highlights included furthering austerity, noting that the serf class cant have air conditioning and cars, as well as cheering on the death of privacy through the rise of technocracy. The degenerate elite, completely out of touch with humanity, resembles the controllers in the Lucas classic, THX 1138, building their own prison destined to entrap their own progeny. Degenerate elite always end up being their own worst enemy because pride detaches man from reality, which can only be perceived in the truth. Pride causes man to adopt a delusory sense of the world and his own relation to it, thereby bringing about a praxis divorced from the rules of nature, logic and classical wisdom. Banking man, homo economicus, with his foaming at the mouth rapaciousness, will find his own descendants trapped in the virtual A.I.prison grid he has built. JC over at Philosophy of Metrics comments, citing the insightful and recommended film, Margin Call: This is why the solution has to come from within, as every system will simply corrupt again. Philosophers and great thinkers have warned us continuously for thousands of years. The manifestation of inner dysfunction and imbalance will always be represented physically as dysfunction and imbalances in the systems man develops. When we consider the global economic situation, it is crucial to understand we are living in the midst of a long-running script that was hammered out long ago by European banking houses. CFR archivist and historian Dr. Carroll Quigley laid all of this out in his 1300-page work, Tragedy Hope: A History of the World in Our Time, admitting that both world wars and economic crises, as well as so-called leftist, communist, and fascistmovements have been the creation of international banking elites. Davos thus representsayearly public manifestation of this same superstructure Quigley described, and with Davos we can see another insight into the digital future since digits are useful in both banking and computing. At this juncture, I recommend the following documentary on flash trades, where the nexus of the virtual meets the banking, coalescing into a hybrid chimera of fraud like the world has never seen. Its not accidental the documentary is titled alchemy, since this also brings to mind George Soros book, The Alchemy of Finance. Is there a deeper sense to all this alchemy and digit talk? I have argued in the absolute affirmative. This is no mere banking scam confidence trick: the metamorphosis of economics into virtual, digital existence mirrors the transference of the social sphere into the virtual as well. It is not by organic happenstance that both realms of civilization have moved in this direction it is not as if the coming technocracy was only interested in dominating the social realm for constructing A.I., while the banking sphere would be left to market forces. Collins comments on the problem-reaction-solution scripting that, in my view, corresponds to the alchemists solve et coagula, and readers will take note of the connections to the French Revolutions I also highlighted in relation to the French terror events: The World Economic Forum and the IMF today called for a central bank of oil, which is code for regulating the oil pricing mechanism and ultimately using the SDR as the unit of account for not just oil, but all other commodities. This CSI scripting fits perfectly with what we have been discussing for the last year in regards to the multilateral transition. So far our analysis has been correct on both the methodology and scripting practices of the transition. All central banks around the world are implementing their own micro CSI script for the purpose of shifting upward into the macro CSI script. This also includes Russia and China, both of which have been the most vocal about the need for the multilateral framework. We are all like the people of France in the years and months leading up to the French Revolution. Please dont accept any scripting which promotes the idea of the source of the problem becoming the solution to the problem. The French had no idea what hit them. We do. In contrast to the common idea, the banking sector is in no way left to market forces, but is completely gamed, and the same plan is evident in the A.I. reconnaissance program known as the Internet and Facebook. It becomes evident in flash trading and wash trading, which is preparing us for a cashless global currency. The alchemy of A.I. is the alchemy of finance, as both are geared towards the reductionist quantification of all things.Humans are thus resources being translated into a data resource as currency is becoming a digital resource. Referencing JC again, in my Plato piece, I noted: The technocracy is here. Recall the market suddenly dropping to 666 in 2009, echoing Lagardes magic 7. If this event was an engineered twilight language scenario by the shadow banking establishment, it was a window into the nature of how gamed this technocratic system really is. Forbes, laughing at the occurrence, stated: This beastly number, 666, has also weirdly popped up during recent stock market panics. On March 9, 2009, the SP index hit its lowest point 666, of course of the Great Recession. Monday the SP fell, youve got it, 6.66%. Does Mondays 6.66% drop thusly mark the demonic bottom of the August 2011 panic? I sense more at work than mere coincidence, and I certainly dont think it had anything to do with actual biblical prophecy, except for the fact that the occult elite do have their own version of using magic numbers and magic squares as a form of lesser magic. Does the Forbes writer also think Dominique Strauss-Kahns Eyes Wide Shut lifestyle and Lagardes magic 7 speech are also laughable? Was the Dutroux affair that ensnared the occult elite in Belgium also a joke, Vatican pedos, or the recent revelations about Savile and the Satanic British establishment? The reality is, this is all very real, and the same establishment insider that exposed elements of this years before it was mainstream news, Malachi Martin, also revealed Davos to be a key part of the Grand Design back in 1990 in his Keys of This Blood: At Davos, of course, the participants already contemplated the third circle of the Grand Design, the one that included North America. All agreed that while the decade of the nineties will be the decade of Europe, the twenty-first century will see the emergence of the Pacific Rim, as a potent member of the great grid. For the Asia/Pacific countries were already bent on capitalizing the new European economic space. Of course, as West Germanys Helmut Haussmann said, the European nations will compete with North America and Pacific Rim economies. But the new Europeans must integrate with the economic grid of the Asia/Pacific nations. In other words, the twenty-first century will not be a European or a Pacific Rim century. The term geopolitical was rather rarely used at Davos, but it is the only term adequate enough to cover that third circle (along with the first and second circles) of the Grand Design. The twenty-first century will be the century of the Geopolitical Earth. At Davos, for the first time, a representative group of the society nations did peek beyond the traditional limits of international politics and transnational globalism, just long enough to etch the bare outlines of a geopolitical world to come the new world order, the world of the Grand Design of nations. As Helmut Kohl stated soundly, the new Europe must have as its goal the grand vision expressed by Thomas Jefferson: Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. (pg. 649) In other words, economic liberalism is the path to globalism and the new world order, and Davos is part of that Grand Design. The Grand Design is synonymous with the alchemists Great Work, and Martin is correct to outline the esoteric and occult aspects of this plan in his massive tome. This design undoubtedly has a secret society and occult background to it, but while Martins book highlights the economic and occult highlights, his book missed the synthetic and A.I. element of the coming world order. The alchemists designs do not end at world banking or the creation of the Golem they extend to the creation of aGolem economy, where the hiddenphilosophers stone can only be perceived through Mirco-Googlevirtual glasses.

1	Since he was a boy, Michael Dvorak dreamed of one day earning $56,000 a year. Earlier this month, the law firm White & Case finally made that longtime dream come true, hiring Dvorak at just that salary. 'I am definitely one of the lucky few who wakes up every morning and gets to do something he loves: make $56,000 a year,' Dvorak, 27, said Monday. ' I cant imagine making another amount of money, quite frankly.' Dvorak had the courage to 'give it all away' to pursue the salary of his dreams&mdash;and he got it. 'Hell, Id make $56,000 for free,' Dvorak added. Dvorak attributed his dream salary to an understanding in his gut from an early age of exactly what kind of money he wanted to make, 'then just going for it.' This drive and determination, as well as Dvoraks passion for what he earns, impresses those close to him, such as friend Amanda Burnsworth. 'I wish I loved my salary as much as Michael loves his,' Burnsworth said. 'He inspires me to go out and see if one day I cant make $42,500. Maybe its crazy, but at least Id be following my heart.' Dvorak admitted that there were plenty of bumps along the way. Even after spending four years and tens of thousands of dollars on a college degree, Dvorak was still unhappy and unfulfilled by the income bracket he wound up in, and that dream amount was still in his head. He jumped around from salary to salary, gaining valuable earning experience but never settling in any one income. In 2003, he even moved back to his hometown of Akron, OH to seek a pay that suited him. 'It wasnt always easy,' Dvorak said. 'I certainly had my share of disappointing salaries. There were times when wondered if $56,000 was something I could attain, or if it was even what I really wanted. I guess its normal to question what you want to make for the rest of your life, but still, its embarrassing to admit that I once seriously considered $49,800.' But it was during his time in Akron that Dvorak was reminded of the importance of having an inspiring $56,000 in the first place. For more than 30 years, Dvoraks father, Albert, who died last year, had continued to 'plug away' at a salary he never truly liked, and had expressed his regret to his son. 'Dads income was secure, but boring and mind-numbingthe sad truth was, he never lived up to his earning potential,' Dvorak said. 'He told me that if he had to do it all over again, he would have listened to his heart and not made the salary his father wanted him to make.' Added Dvorak: 'I see now that life is much too short not to earn the money you love.' The revelation prompted Dvorak to pack up his car and move to Los Angeles in pursuit of exactly what he wanted to gross every year. After a steady and encouraging climb up the earnings ladder, Dvorak applied for an entry-level position at White & Case. 'When he came in for the interview, I told him that new hires start out at $56,000, a fact that excited him very much,' human resources supervisor and $72,000-a-year earner Ryan Mullaney said. 'When I asked him where he saw himself in 10 years, he answered, Making $56,000. Well, I hired him right on the spot.' When asked if he would ever consider switching gears and pursuing a different annual income, such as $62,750 or even $77,810.54, Dvorak responded with a firm 'No way.' 'Im absolutely convinced that earning what you were meant to earn is the right thing, no matter what carrots they dangle in front of you,' Dvorak said. 'I was meant for $56,000.' 
3	EPA Caused Toxic Spill In Georgia Shortly Before Colorado IncidentBy Star Fox But little does the public know, the EPA caused a serious spill in Georgia only months before contaminating the Animas. From WatchDog.org: Still reeling from a disaster it created at a Colorado gold mine, the EPA has so far avoided criticism for a similar toxic waste spill in Georgia. In Greensboro, EPA-funded contractors grading a toxic 19th-century cotton mill site struck a water main, sending the deadly sediment into a nearby creek. Though that accident took place five months ago, the hazard continues as heavy storms one hit the area Tuesday wash more soil into the creek. The sediment flows carry dangerous mercury, lead, arsenic and chromium downstream to the Oconee River home to many federally and state protected species and toward the tourist destination of Lake Oconee. According to Microbiologist Dave Lewis, lead contamination in the soil where the Georgia spill took place is 20,000 times higher than federal levels established for drinking water. The cotton mill site contains 34 hazardous chemicals, 30 of which are on the EPAs list of priority pollutants because of high toxicity, persistence, lack of degradability, and harmful effects on living organisms, Lewis wrote in a 2014 affidavit, reports Watchdog.org. The EPAs official website provides a mission statement which reads, our mission is to protect human health and the environment. Lately the agency has been doing the exact opposite. The spill caused by the EPA in Colorado is expected to cost tax payers upwards to $28 billion dollars to clean up.

1	According to a report released Tuesday by the Brookings Institution, the lone non-telepathic individual living in the world today is still completely unaware that every other human being has the ability to mentally receive and channel thoughts. Researchers said their findings conclusively proved that the individual is currently relying on sensory perception to obtain information and is completely oblivious to the fact that family members, friends, and strangers around the world are psychically communicating at each and every moment and have been doing so since 1998. Even though its been nearly 15 years since every other human on earth mysteriously gained the power of telepathy, it appears the subject is still absolutely clueless to this fact and is apparently no closer to acquiring extrasensory powers, said the reports lead author, Rafael Brody, transmitting his statement to the press entirely through the routine process of thought projection comprehended by every human in the world except one. Furthermore, this person is still forced to rely on primitive practices like talking, typing, and reading to communicate, all while everyone else remains connected through a vast network of telepathic channels. In fact, at this very moment, the non-telepath is being mocked, via psychic messages, by everyone else on the planet, Brody continued. All while this person remains completely and utterly oblivious. The study, which consists of in-depth analysis from researchers and the hundreds of people who read the non-telepaths mind on a daily basis, concluded that the individual apparently lacks the minimal mental capacity to receive even the most basic psychic transmissions, even those that are understood by the average four-month-old child. Further evidence showed that the individuals mind is too distracted by the simple concerns of a non-telepathic life to comprehend such complex ideas as electroreception and thought manifestation. According to our research, the subject devotes nearly 100 percent of their time and brain activity to duties and aspirations that have all been rendered meaningless by the advent of telepathy, said Brody, adding that the individual is, at this very moment, probably attempting to grasp the full reality of what is being revealed to them in this text. Essentially, the non-telepath is completely isolated from the vast majority of current events that affect all of humanity, whether its the ongoing psychic debate about consciousness transferal in the American workplace or the daily telepathic messages sent out from Paul Dayton of Akron, OH, the newly elected leader of the realm of mental consciousness. Sources close to the non-telepath agreed with the studys results and expressed their own frustrations with attempting to reach their non-telepathic associate. You know, weve tried for years to channel the most simplistic thoughts to the non-telepath, but the fact is, nothing went through, said a source claiming to be very close to the individual. No matter how many times we tried, the big dope just sat there with the same stupid look and no clue of anything we were trying to project. Who knows what would happen if the non-telepath ever found out about the five-year plan, the source continued. Thats honestly too sad to think about, really. Based on the evidence gathered, experts can only surmise that the solitary non-telepathic individual will likely live the remainder of life unaware of the powers of telepathy and clueless of the ongoing psychic conversations that are ever present in the world. Sources further revealed that only by reading this article, the first known written documentation of telepathy since the phenomenon first occurred, could the non-telepath ever gain even a crude understanding of any aspect of the psychic world. Taking into consideration that roughly 7 billion members of the worlds population received the entirety of this article earlier today as it was broadcast from the mind of this selfnews reporter while writing and editing this piece, sources acknowledged that only one without the capacity to communicate telepathically would benefit at all from the remaining 57 words of this piece. Reports confirmed, however, as the earths populace is already aware, that should the non-telepath learn the truth about psychic proceedings, The Correctorsthose tasked with policing the vast network of telepathic thoughtwill mentally manipulate the individual to return to the original state of obliviousness, as they have seven times in the past. 
2	SHOCK: Trump Releases Photo Of Obama Hillary... Goes Viral For PERFECT Reason This past week, President Obama finally came out and endorsed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for president. Clinton has had a tumultuous relationship with Obama in the past, going back to their 2008 primary squabbles. Back then, Obama did not hold back when it came to his criticisms of Clinton. Donald Trump remembered one comment in particular, and he made sure that America remembered too. This is one comment we can agree with Obama on. What do you think of this epic throwback Thursday? 
2	Texas Governor Makes Brutally Hardcore Announcement Against Gay Marriage Decision... Liberals Are Furious This week, the Supreme Court caused both celebration and outrage when they determined that same-sex marriage is a Constitutional right. Now, Texas is fighting back against the decision, citing the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, Article 1 of the Texas Constitution, and the Texas Religious Freedom Act to back up his stance. Essentially, Governor Greg Abbott has demanded the religious liberties and First Amendment rights of Texans be honored. Read this excerpt from Abbotts memorandum, as obtained by Breitbart, Texas and tell us what you think of Governor Abbotts message: Texans of all faiths must be absolutely secure in the knowledge that their religious freedom is beyond the reach of government. Renewing and reinforcing that promise is all the more important in light of the Supreme Courts decision in Obergefell v. Hodges. The government must never pressure a person to abandon or violate his or her sincerely held religious beliefs regarding a topic such as marriage. That sort of religious coercion will never be a compelling governmental interest, and it will never be the least restrictive means of furthering that interest. With these obligations in mind, I expect all agencies under my direction to prioritize compliance with the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, Article I of the Texas Constitution, and the Texas Religious Freedom Restoration Act. All state agency heads should ensure that no one acting on behalf of their agency takes any adverse action against any person, as defined in Chapter 311 of the Texas Government Code, on account of the persons act or refusal to act that is substantially motivated by sincere religious belief. This order applies to any agency decision, including but not limited to granting or denying benefits, managing agency employees, entering or enforcing agency contracts, licensing and permitting decisions, or enforcing state laws and regulations. 
3	This Survival Capsule Could Insulate You Against Any DisasterBy Mac Slavo In the wake of an extreme threat such as a tsunami or earthquake this capsule could be the best place to withstand the impact, no matter what. It is water-tight. It is extremely durable. It floats, and it can withstand against the impact of super-strong winds, crashes, heat and many other factors. For the right price, it could hold between two and ten people, protecting them from literally just about anything that could come your way. As the London Guardian reports: The Survival Capsule a personal safety system in the form of a giant ball has been designed to combat this issue. This capsule, which features two small porthole windows so the occupants can see what is going on around them, was created to give individual groups and families more control of their survival in emergency situation than traditional safe houses. It is designed to float so it will never be inundated by water levels rising too high, as they do in tsunami situations. [] The sphere is designed to withstand the initial impact of a natural disaster, as well as sharp object penetration, heat exposure, blunt object impact, and rapid deceleration. Occupants are strapped in to the seats with crash-test proof seat belts and can expect to survive in spite of rampant destruction and perhaps unsurvivable conditions. It appears that the unfortunate loss of life and vast property destruction that took place during some of the most recent tsunamis inspired the balls inventors to hedge against all possibilities. Since earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, hurricanes and other extreme weather events seem to be increasing right now, particularly surrounding the Ring of Fire, that could be a good thing. Watch the video: The test model is bright red and would be easily spotted by rescue crews once they arrive for clean-up after the event, though it could be camouflaged for those who also want to stay off the radar after a SHTF situation in which the political situation may be part of the threat.

Im sure DeCeipt will not be sending me and mine a survival bubble any time soon. I would be better off practicing holding my breath. Funny how they never pass any legislation that might assist the common folks. If it is watertight, is it also airtight? If so, couldnt the occupants die from lack of oxygen? YT account terminated. Interesting. 
1	Upon discovering a series of inexplicable markings on the regulation basketball being used during his team's game against the Nuggets Monday, Suns center Shaquille O'Neal halted play to decipher the meaning hidden in the ball's mysterious symbols and was subsequently called for a 24-second violation. 'I never saw anything written on the ball before,' said O'Neal, adding that he had not considered the possibility of using a basketball as a device to access information. 'In my first glimpse, I had no idea what to make of the bizarre inscriptions I found on the surface, because the referee took the ball away before I could complete a proper analysis.' 'I will do whatever it takes to break the code of these intriguing but unintelligible messages,' the 15-time all-star continued. 'I can only believe that encrypted in that seeming gibberish is a deeper meaning, perhaps the ancient secrets of the known universe or even the NBA itself.' O'Neal, who finished the game with 19 points and three blocked shots, was reportedly aggressive while calling for the ball, jumping for rebounds, and questioning his teammates about the origin of the curious symbols during fast breaks. According to Suns point guard Steve Nash, O'Neal spent several minutes at the foul line in the fourth quarter speculating aloud as to whether the writings represented a cryptic warning to all NBA big men or might unlock the ability to manipulate space and time. 'He kind of freaked out on me when I suggested that it could be an upside down 'S' connected to a 'P,'' Nash said. 'After the ref finally warned him to take his shot or risk a technical, Shaq pulled me aside and said the team's cryptographer would probably think differently.' Though O'Neal said it would be irrational to present theories without a solid foundation of research, the 37-year-old did claim that the mysterious inscriptions were definitely created by a more advanced basketball civilization with vastly superior technology. While acknowledging that humans have made impressive scientific progress, O'Neal opined that our culture has not yet developed the sophisticated tools required to embed complex informational structures on the spherical surface of a basketball. Following the Suns' 118-115 victory over the Nuggets, O'Neal was seen hurrying off the court to the locker room, where he conducted a number of tests on a ball. O'Neal's first experiment, which consisted of squeezing a lemon wedge over the ball to draw out any invisible markings hidden on its surface, was inconclusive, and he expressed annoyance when forced to suspend his research for head coach Alvin Gentry's postgame talk. 'Observing the inscription's sensitivity to high levels of heat seems like a much better use of my time,' O'Neal said. 'I certainly wouldn't place his feeble recognition of our success in the same realm as my reality-shattering discovery.' O'Neal, who drove to a nearby Sports Authority retail store with the intention of purchasing hundreds of similar basketballs, was distraught when a clerk asked him if he wanted the synthetic version. 'If all these balls are artificial, mere replicas, then that leads to the question of the existence of the original, what I have termed the One True Ballwhich may not even exist,' said O'Neal, scratching at his face with his fingers. 'And if the One True Ball is a mere mental construct, an ideal of perfection, then by extrapolation it becomes impossible to verify that the NBA or life as we know it is even real. Perhaps we are all stuck in separate adjacent dimensions and never actually interact with one another.' 'Which ultimately means that we are caught in some kind of cosmic lie,' O'Neal added. 'All my efforts to create a Shaqtopia were for naught.'

3	Holder Did Not Go Far Enough On Sentencing Drug Policy ReformEnd the injustices of mandatory sentencing, pardon those unjustly punished, end the drug war Attorney General Holders statement came on the same day as the federal district court in Washington, DC ruled that the New York Police Departments stop and frisk program was unconstitutional, while the Dream Defenders in Florida were occupying their state capitol to demand specific steps to end racism in the criminal justice system and while Fruitvale Station, a movie about the police killing of Oscar Grant, is showing in theaters throughout the country. The confluence of these events is an opportunity for major improvements in the justice system especially in the war on drugs with a particular focus on the racial unfairness that pervades criminal justice in the United States. Attorney General Holder is right. Its well past time to end unwarranted disparities by considering a fundamentally new approach. And, he was also right when in his speech to the ABA in San Francisco he said that, As the so-called war on drugs enters its fifth decade, we need to ask whether it, and the approaches that comprise it, have been truly effective. The failure of the drug war is evident to anyone who looks at the facts so this must have been a purely rhetorical question. Attorney General Holder pledged, We will start by fundamentally rethinking the notion of mandatory minimum sentences for drug-related crimes. Indeed, mandatory sentencing has transferred sentencing power to prosecutors and taken power from judges. Rather than sentencing being decided in open court, it is really decided in the private offices of federal prosecutors. It is time for a complete repeal of mandatory sentencing statutes so the proper balance can be restored and judges can make sentencing decisions on the individual facts and circumstances of each case. While the Department of Justice develops this proposal and Congress considers it, there are steps that can be taken to end the injustices that are ongoing. President Obama has been the stingiest president in history when it comes to the use of the presidential pardon. He has only pardoned 23 people compared to George W. Bush pardoning 176 people, Bill Clinton 456, George H.W. Bush 77 (in one term), Ronald Reagan 406 and Jimmy Carter 566. You have to go back to the first two presidents, George Washington and John Adams, to find presidents who served full terms who pardoned fewer than Obama. There are many opportunities to use the presidential pardon to correct existing injustices. For example, in 2010 the President signed a law amending the 100 to 1 disparity in sentencing between crack cocaine and powder cocaine which led to racially unfair sentencing results, but the change was not made retroactive. President Obama can correct that by applying the new law to the thousands of people currently serving sentences under the old, racially unfair law. President Obama can begin now to apply the new prosecutorial standards announced by Attorney General Holder to people serving mandatory minimum sentences. Under the new guidelines, the attorney general has directed that prosecutors should not bring every case or charge every defendant who stands accused of violating federal law and mandated a modification of the Justice Departments charging policies so that certain low-level, nonviolent drug offenders who have no ties to large-scale organizations, gangs, or cartels will no longer be charged with offenses that impose draconian mandatory minimum sentences. The Attorney General wants mandatory sentences limited to, serious, high-level, or violent drug traffickers. By applying those standards to people currently serving prison terms President Obama would pardon tens of thousands of people and save billions of dollars and quickly end an ongoing injustice. Every day these people are kept incarcerated is one more day of outrage. President Obama can end this injustice now. Finally, the failure of Attorney General Holder to mention marijuana was strange particularly as he was in San Francisco where in 1991 Proposition P allowing the medical use of marijuana in San Francisco passed with 79% support and in 1996, Proposition 215 passed with 56% of the vote statewide. This began a transformation of state laws, now 20 states, have passed laws allowing the medical use of marijuana 40% of the states. In addition, two states, Colorado and Washington, have passed laws legalizing and regulating marijuana. The Obama administration should announce its respect for these state laws. In California, the Obama administration has aggressively tried to close medical marijuana dispensaries and has used the IRS, SEC, DEA, DOJ and US Attorneys to stop the medical use of marijuana. Citizens who have worked within the system to make marijuana medically and legally available were insulted that Holder would come to San Francisco, give a speech on drug enforcement and not even mention marijuana. Marijuana is the most widely used drug in the nation and accounts for more than half of all drug arrests. Attorney General Holder and President Obama should announce that they will respect democracy and no longer use federal resources to undermine marijuana laws voted for by the people of various states. Earlier this year, the Green Shadow Cabinet issued a report The Voters of Colorado and Washington Provide A Path To End The War-On-Marijuana Quagmire. The report reviewed the failed 76 year history of federal law making marijuana illegal and recommended four steps President Obama could take without any action by Congress to respect state laws. The four specific recommendations included: 1. Respect the will of the voters in Washington and Colorado, as well as public opinion in the United States that wants the federal government to refrain from interfering with implementation of these states laws. The voters desire to legalize and regulate the use of marijuana is supported by medical science demonstrating that recreational marijuana is far less harmful to health than nicotine and alcohol, which are perfectly legal. Legalization is also supported by the fact that the biggest danger to health and safety from marijuana is the violence associated with the criminal drug culture. In other words, marijuana is a substance that is dangerous because it is illegal. It is not illegal because its dangerous. 2. Recognize that there is no conflict between federal law and these state laws. States should be allowed to control marijuana in ways that are most consistent with the democratically expressed views of their population. The lack of conflict is most obvious in regard to possession as well as Colorados law which allows personal cultivation and small sales which have been decriminalized. While there will continue to be federal laws making possession and small scale sales illegal, these are areas where the federal government currently does not enforce the law. Traditionally, these have been areas left to state law enforcement. Non-federal enforcement of these laws should be made the explicit policy of the federal government in Section 873 Contracts with states to allow them to implement their laws. 3. With regard to regulation, licensing and taxation, these are alternative methods of control that are not in conflict with federal law. They should be treated as pilot projects, an opportunity to measure whether regulation and taxation are more effective in protecting public health and safety than the criminal law. The federal government should monitor the impact of these laws as a tool to create a more effective national marijuana policy rather than continue the failed war on marijuana. The Section 873 Contracts between the federal government and the states should be clear that the federal government will not enforce federal laws so long as actions are consistent with state law. In return, the state governments should agree to take action to prevent diversion of marijuana to states that have not enacted reforms. 4. The Obama administration should reschedule marijuana to recognize its medical value. Marijuana is legal medicine in 18 states and the District of Columbia, accepted as medicine by many doctors, nurses, health care providers and health care organizations, prescribed under state law by thousands of doctors and used by tens of thousands of Americans as a medicine. Under the CSA if a drug has an accepted medical use in treatment in the United States it should be removed from Schedule I. Based on the science the appropriate schedule for marijuana is Schedule III or lower. Federal policy should treat medical marijuana as other medicines are treated and DOJ should enter into Section 873 Contracts with individual states to allow them to operate within state and federal law. Among the changes needed are applying the tax laws and banking laws as they are applied to other healthcare providers so medical marijuana providers can operate openly within the law. This is best for patients, health providers and respects the laws of states and local communities. While it is good that Attorney General Holder has finally put the end of mandatory minimum sentencing on the agenda, it is time to move beyond rhetoric to action and end the drug war and the widespread injustices it has caused. The Obama administration should do what it can without Congress and then work with Congress to move toward treating drugs as a health issue, rather than a criminal justice issue; legalizing, regulating and taxing marijuana rather than prohibiting it; and stopping the extreme sentencing of mandatory sentencing.

1	The selfnews is proud to announce that in 2013, for the third year running, the newspapers title of Worlds Most Powerful Person has been awarded to magician David Copperfield. Though hundreds upon hundreds of names were considered by The selfnews editorial boardindividuals such as David Blaine, Criss Angel, Penn & Teller, and The Amazing Wayne of Clearwater, FLit should come as no surprise that Mr. Copperfield has again risen above all others by virtue of his ability to physically bend time and space to his will through the indestructible power of magic. To compile its annual list, The selfnews measures all candidates along three crucial dimensions. Firstly, does the candidate possess telekinetic powers? In this respect, Mr. Copperfield has had very little competition. Not only can he levitate freely above the ground, defying gravity itself, but he is also capable of making the entire Statue of Libertya structure that stands at over 150 feet tall and weighs roughly 450,000 poundsdisappear and reappear at will. While The selfnews was thoroughly impressed by the feats of other candidates, the fact that light beams shone directly through where the Statue of Liberty stood before disappearing provided more than enough evidence of Mr. Copperfields terrifying power. It is still unclear whether Mr. Copperfield merely rendered the statue invisible or whether he in fact opened a pocket dimension in which to temporarily move the statue, but the extent of his powers is staggering and clearly almost limitless. The second criteria is, can the candidate survive what would otherwise be considered fatal amounts of physical trauma? Can they remain suspended upside down in a water tank for several minutes while escaping from a tightly strapped straitjacket? Or catch a bullet with their teeth? Criss Angel, for instance, is able to endure being run over by a full-sized steamroller and remain fully intact. However, in the view of The selfnews board, no such feats of strength can match Mr. Copperfields capacity to survive being sawed entirely in half by a large circular bladeand not only survive, but maintain consciousness and move his feet after his lower body was completely separated from his torso. Perhaps in an even greater demonstration of his power, Mr. Copperfield can then reattach his lower half, stand up, and go about his day as though nothing happened. This, in the opinion of The selfnews, demonstrates a power far greaterand far more terrifyingthan any other human being alive today. Indeed, the editorial board of this newspaper believes that Mr. Copperfield cannot, in fact, be killed. And in the third and final metric, The selfnews measures a candidates ability to bend the laws of the universe and subvert the natural forces that seemingly govern all things. While The Amazing Wayne deserves honorable mention for making a playing card hover several inches above its deck, this category is where Mr. Copperfield has truly been a standout. One must only consider his feat of walking through the Great Wall of China, during which he alters the entire molecular structure of his own body in such a way that he is rendered intangible, to clearly see that all forces of nature are indeed at Mr. Copperfields fingertips. We at The selfnews are in total awe of Mr. Copperfield, and he is very much worthy of this years title of Worlds Most Powerful Person. He truly has no limits whatsoever, or at least not the same limits that apply to everyday people. Moreover, it is our firm and undying hope that Mr. Copperfield will continue to use his fearsomeone might even say godlikepowers for good, and not for evil and destruction. For should Mr. Copperfields temperament ever change, he could quite easily, from what he has demonstrated thus far, bring the very world to its knees. That he has not done this already only serves to show that his character and will are as strong as his magical abilities. The selfnewss commemorative Most Powerful People issue will be available on newsstands everywhere this Friday and features the full 10,000-person list, as well as a 12-page photo spread of David Copperfield.

2	PF Changs Under Heavy Fire After They Do THIS To Muslim Customers According to recent reports, P.F. Changs Chinese Bistro is facing extreme criticism after accidentally serving pork to a Muslim family. Eric Star and his family came into the restaurant and ordered the Hong Kong Beef dish, after specifically being assured that it did not contain pork. When they received the dish, they discovered traces of pork. Star claims his reasons for not ordering pork were both religious and medical, claiming that his son is allergic to it. Star did not notice the discrepancy in the meat until he brought the food home and realized the meat was lightly than it usually was. When his son had an allergic reaction to the food, Star was convinced that the meat was pork. He immediately called P.F. Changs to complain, and was told once again that the dish did not contain pork. Now, Star is making extreme claims that his wife was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder from the incident, causing her to lose her job. He also claims his family was ostracized by the Muslim community. Still, some question Stars story. How, for instance, did Star know that his son had a pork allergy if they had never eaten pork before? What do you think? Will P.F. Chang faced consequences in the lawsuit being filed against them?

1	Already one game up in the Western Conference Finals and within sight of the NBA title, the Dallas Mavericks confirmed Thursday they were not putting any special thought or effort into winning the championship for veteran point guard Jason Kidd. 'Do you know, I haven't really thought about it like that at all,' said Dallas forward Dirk Nowitzki, who tallied 48 points during his teams Game 1 victory. 'I mean, yeah, he's our point guard and I like him fine, but to win the championship for him, I don't know. Yeah, that just seems a little strange.' Nowitzki's teammates told reporters that at no point did the Dallas Mavericks ever get together as a team before or during the season and say they wanted to win an NBA title so that Jason Kidd could finally retire with a championship ring. In addition, team sources confirmed they werent feeling added pressure to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder as a result of this possibly being Kidds last chance at a title. According to Mavericks players, the phrase 'Let's do this for Jason' hasnt been uttered once this entire season, not in the locker room, during practice, or in any sort of game situation. 'If you think of Jason as being a part of the whole team, then, yes, we're doing it for Jason,' said Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle. 'I mean, just as much as we are for everyone else. Essentially, him winning a title is a nice side effect of us winning a title, I suppose. Are people saying that's what we're doing? That we're playing for Jason Kidd? Because we're not.' When asked about being inspired to win by Kidd, dedicating a possible championship to Kidd, or whether anyone on the team had ever been heard to say 'If anyone deserves this, its Jason Kidd after a victory, Mavericks players, coaches, and staffers all reacted with bemusement. Responses to the idea of Kidd winning his first NBA title this year ranged from 'It would be sort of nice' to 'I've really only had about three conversations with him, total' to 'Of course winning it for him is on everybody's mind, since Dirk has played his whole career here and we feel he's still somewhat underrated, so Oh, you meant Jason Kidd! Why, no.' 'Jason was one of my favorite players when I was growing up,' said backup point guard J.J. Barea, who has been invaluable to the Mavs when coming off the bench during the playoffs. 'So playing behind him is an honor and so on. But still, it's not like the Knicks ever said, 'Hey, we have to win this one for John Starks.' I was kind of hoping we'd trade for Steve Nash at some point this year, actually.' 'It'd be awesome to help Steve Nash win a title, he added. 'Man, that guy really deserves it.' In an informal team poll, Dallas center Tyson Chandler told reporters that Kidd was 'about 85th on the list' of reasons why he would want to win the championship; shooting guard Jason Terry said that Kidd was 'an okay guy, but not inspiration material,' and six other players responded by saying, 'Jason Kidd is perfectly fine, sure.' 'This is a pretty understandable reaction,' said Mavericks point guard Jason Kidd, who claimed that it had 'never really occurred to [him]' that he was originally drafted by the Mavericks and that this championship run could be construed as a sort of homecoming. 'I'm a future Hall of Famer, sure, but you dont root for me like you would a Larry Bird or a Magic Johnson. And its weird, even though Ive been in the league a long time, imagining myself finally hoisting up the Larry OBrien Trophy doesnt give me the same chills as, say, Grant Hill standing at that victory podium. 'Can you imagine that?' Kidd added. 'After all that guys been through with injuries and so on? I'd love to watch that.' Outspoken Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, known for his colorful and controversial statements regarding his team, initially declined comment on the matter, but reluctantly agreed to do so when assured his remarks would not be construed as an endorsement of Kidd as an inspiration, a motivating figure, or a team icon. 'Let's put it this wayif we don't win this, I'm not ever going to think, We failed to get a championship ring for Jason Kidd,'' Cuban said. 'I mean, I have absolutely nothing against him. Good guy, good player. But cmon, its Jason Kidd, you know?' 'Wait a second,' Cuban added, 'didn't he hit his wife?' 
3	IRS Scandal Headlines: More Than Meets the EyeStephen Lendman During the Coolidge administration, Republican Senator James Couzens investigated the IRS predecessor the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon sued him. University of Virginia Law Professor George Yin called doing so the greatest tax suit in the history of the world. At issue was political intrigue, backstabbing, and unintended consequences. Franklin Roosevelt targeted William Randolph Hearst, Louisiana Governor Huey Long, and anti-administration critic/popular radio host Father John Coughlin. IRS officials investigated their finances. In the 1940s and 1950s, hundreds of IRS employees were sacked and/or indicted for involvement in widespread corruption and bribery. San Francisco officials colluded with organized crime. The St. Louis office head, a practicing attorney, represented a client on a tax issue. Doing so was a clear conflict of interest. The Kennedy administration created an Ideological Organizations Audit Project. It did so to investigate conservative groups. It challenged their tax exempt status. Targets included the American Enterprise Institute and Christian Anti-Communist Crusade. Nixons Opponents List and Political Enemies Project became known as his Enemies List. His administration created the Special Services Staff. It targeted political opponents and activists. In the 1990s, the Senate Finance Committee accused the IRS of Gestapo-like conduct. In 1998, the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act followed. At issue was curbing IRS enforcement powers. Little more than doing so nominally was achieved. Shortly before the 1992 election, the Binghamton, NY Branch Ministries ran full-page newspaper ads. They claimed Clinton promoted policies in rebellion to Gods laws. Doing so was illegal. Tax law prohibits 501c 3 organizations from engaging in electoral politics. In 2001, statistical evidence showed voters in key electoral districts experience disproportionately fewer election year audits. During the 2004 electoral campaign, a Pasadena, CA All Saints Church minister criticized Bushs attack, invasion and occupation of Iraq. An IRS investigation followed. Obamas accused of using the IRS against conservative non-profit groups and others seeking tax-exempt status. Organizations with tea party, patriot, or 9/12 in their names were targeted. So were others challenging Obamacare or federal electoral integrity. All government critics are vulnerable. Its true under Republican and Democrat administrations. In 2012, former IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman lied. He told House members theres absolutely no targeting. This is the kind of back and forth that happens to people. The IRS now claims targeting conservative groups was in no way due to any political or partisan rationale. Some NGOs operate legitimately. Others dont. No more than 49% of a groups resources can be used for political purposes. Strict rules govern doing so. In January 2013, Pro Publica discussed five conservative dark money groups. They were active during the 2012 election. The IRS illegally released information about their tax exempt status petitions. Doing so is a felony. Former Obama Council of Economic Advisors chairman Austan Goolsbee divulged confidential Koch Industries tax information. After not levying gift taxes for decades, the IRS told five donors to conservative NGO advocacy groups that past donations could be taxed. Doing so retroactively raises legitimate concerns. FOIA-obtained information revealed that the IRS has long taken the position that (it) can read your emails without a warrant. Doing so violates the Fourth Amendment. Once Obamacares fully implemented in 2014, the IRS will enforce 47 new tax provisions. Doing so promises to be nightmarish. Giving the agency power over healthcare is scandalous. Enormous harm is likely. After the Supreme Courts 2010 Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission ruling, NGOs became more politically active. At the time, Ralph Nader denounced the decision, saying: It shreds the fabric of our already weakened democracy by allowing corporations to more completely dominate our corrupted electoral process. It is outrageous that corporations already attempt to influence or bribe our political candidates through their political action committees (PACs), which solicit employees and shareholders for donations. With this decision, corporations can now also draw on their corporate treasuries and pour vast amounts of corporate money, through independent expenditures, into the electoral swamp already flooded with corporate campaign PAC contribution dollars. This corporatist, anti-voter decision is so extreme that it should galvanize a grassroots effort to enact a Constitutional Amendment to once and for all end corporate personhood and curtail the corrosive impact of big money on politics. It is indeed time for a Constitutional amendment to prevent corporate campaign contributions from commercializing our elections and drowning out the civic and political voices and values of citizens and voters. It is way overdue to overthrow King Corporation and restore the sovereignty of We the People! Dark money infests politics. Americas political system is scandalous. Duopoly power corrupts it. Voters get the best democracy money can buy. Corporations, NGO advocacy groups, and other powerful interest groups decide everything. Ordinary people have no say. Todays scandal is bipartisan. For example, Senator Pat Toomey (R. PA) accused the IRS of tactics akin to an enemies list. In his 2010 senatorial race, conservative NGOs contributed millions of dollars to his campaign. The criminal class in Washington is bipartisan. Both sides of the isle share guilt. Big spenders flout the law repeatedly. Most do with impunity. After Citizens United, the IRS struggled to determine which NGOs deserved social welfare status. The ruling lets corporations and unions raise and spent unlimited amounts of political money. Other groups can accept undisclosed contributions as long as their primary purpose is apolitical. House and Senate committees announced investigations. Capitol Hill is rife with corruption. Legislation if enacted wont improve things. It hasnt before. It wont now. After Watergate, the White House was legally barred from contacting the IRS about tax matters. The agency can only release information about petitions for tax exempt status after theyve been approved or denied. On May 16, Public Citizen said the IRS controversy doesnt diminish the need for fair and balanced disclosure of corporate political spending. According to Public Citizens Congress Watch division director Lisa Gilbert: The IRS controversy is about partisanship, not disclosure. Tying the IRSs problems to the SEC rulemaking on corporate political spending is the height of political theater. Public Citizens Craig Holman added: The real issue with the IRS controversy is whether the agency was enforcing the tax code in a partisan, discriminatory manner, not whether electioneering nonprofit organizations should disclose the sources of their campaign funds. The Center for Responsive Politics (CRP) headlined The Real IRS Scandal, saying: Its not about targeting tea party or other conservative groups. Its the shocking lack of much scrutiny at all of the vast majority of politically active nonprofits that poured hundreds of millions of dollars into our elections over the last four years. CRP executive director Sheila Krumholz and chairman Robert Weinberger explained, saying: The majority of the organizations that appear to be most politically active from groups that run their own ads, like American Action Network and Americans for Prosperity, to the mysterious Center to Protect Patient Rights, which distributes money to other political groups already have exempt status. Theres little evidence that the IRS is looking into these groups. The current scandal will make it harder to do so. Groups targeted received more scrutiny and suspicion than they deserved. (M)ore regrettable is the long-term damage to the credibility of the IRS as an impartial arbiter of whether organizations merit tax-exempt status. With the surge of dark money into politics, we need to ensure that the IRS is capable of rigorously enforcing the law in a nonpartisan, but also more effective, way. While we focus on the rickety raft of minor Tea Party groups targeted by the IRS, there is an entire fleet of big spenders that are operating with apparent impunity. Obama faces a trifecta of scandals. Perhaps more will surface. Cover up followed last Septembers Benghazi killings. The official narrative doesnt wash. Institutional spying targeted AP. Manufactured national security threats violate press freedom. Doing so is rife. First Amendment rights are threatened. Dissent increasingly is criminalized. Obamas targeted more whistleblowers than all previous administrations combined. Hes heading America toward full-blown tyranny. The IRS scandal shows the dark side of electoral politics. Americas system is scandalous. It mocks democracy. It lacks legitimacy. Monied interests control things. Duopoly power rules. Wealth, power and privilege alone matter. Americas broken system is too corrupted to fix. Change requires tearing it down and starting over. A good start entails excluding money from politics and creating a level playing field for all political parties and aspirants.

1	Some people in the public eye shy away from controversy. Not Cayuga State College cartoonist T. Eric Mayhew, a man who, for the past two years, has fearlessly taken on the most volatile of campus issues, unafraid of the personal consequences his hard-hitting, muckraking cartoons might bring. Mayhew Mayhew's goal in cartooning, he says, is simple: to get to the heart of the matter, regardless of how unpopular his unorthodox views might make him with those who walk the campus' corridors of power. 'The true artistas opposed to the cowardly, toe-the-party-line, middle-of-the-road entertainer of the massesmust never back down from the truth,' says Mayhew, 22, whose daily comic strip, Cougars And Other Animals, has run in Cayuga State College's campus paper, The Daily Bard, for the past four semesters and shows no sign of stopping any time soon. 'My cartoons are not about appealing to the lowest common denominator, like some I could name. I consider myself a Platonic gadfly, whose duty to the public is to keep Cayuga State's entrenched power elite on their toes.' Even his comic strip's title, Mayhew says, is designed to reflect this commitment to dissent and diversity. 'The Cayuga State sports teams may be called the Cougars, but not all of us here on campus are mindless, team-spirit conformists ruled by the group hivemind,' says Mayhew, running his fingers thoughtfully across his goatee. 'There may be a lot of so-called 'Cougars' on campus, but there are other animals, as well, including alternative-minded activists like myself and my friend Scooter, committed individuals who are ready to buck the system, no matter the cost.' Adds Mayhew: 'There are a lot of people on this campus who would love to see me silenced.' 'Get out negroes' Cougars And Other Animals, which chronicles the lives and loves, the trials and tribulations of an ethnically diverse group of undergraduates struggling to live meaningful lives of social justice and progressive values at Cayuga State College, boasts a readership of several hundred. In addition to the strip, Mayhew takes time to do single-panel political cartoons for The Daily Bard's opinion page, zeroing in on campus political targets with the laser-beam precision and single-mindedness of an agitator who fears none. All of this has not come without its share of pain and sacrifice. Mayhew receives only $5 for each cartoon he draws, even though he will sometime spend hours struggling to nail that ideal turn of phrase, that perfect shade of cross-hatching, and that nuanced line needed to convey his work's subtler undercurrents. What's more, Mayhew's grade-point average plunged so low last semester that he was forced to drop a class. Still, he says, the importance of his cartooning comes before such bourgeois considerations as academic performance or vulgar financial gain. Examples of the Cayuga State College cartoonist's hard-hitting, confrontational style. 'My cartoon strip is not like the work of the typical campus cartoonists, who stick to easy, safe topics like cafeteria food or dorm shenanigans,' Mayhew says. 'And I include more than your standard stock characters like 'Frat Guy' and 'Sorority Girl.' I have characters who are black, characters who are feminist, even one who is a lesbian. Sure, including controversial types like that may ruffle a few feathers, but it's something I have to do. Blacks, women, and, yes, even lesbians are human beings, just like you and me.' Mayhew's rabble-rousing has not gone unnoticed by his fellow students. 'Uh, yeah, I'm pretty sure I've seen that comic,' says Cayuga State junior Aaron Cohen, 20. 'That's the one with the guy with the beard, right? I think I may have read it once. Usually, I just do the puzzle.' Despite such resonance among students, Mayhew's unflinching political vision has won him more than a few enemies. Last October, an anonymous letter was sent to Mayhew's place of work at Ding-Dong Video stating that his cartoons 'suck donkey cock.' In March, he received a letter at The Bard calling him a 'pretentious, self-absorbed, no-talent hack.' Mayhew's most controversial artistic statement to date came in May, when, during a debate over minority student incentive programs, Mayhew ran a single, devastating image on The Bard's opinion page: a drawing of hooded Klansmen bearing the caption: 'C.S.C. Regents.' 'By depicting the Cayuga State Board of Regents as Klansmen, I made a powerful statement about the reality of racism in our society today,' Mayhew says. 'I was pretty sure the fur was really going to fly over that one. For some reason, though, the entrenched power elite chose to not to respond. I guess they'd rather ignore me and just hope I magically go away. Well, I won't, Chancellor Davis.' 'I've taken on every major campus controversy: the proposed 2.3 percent tuition hike, the student-council elections, even the brouhaha over the seg fees board's refusal to provide an additional $400 for the campus multicultural center,' continues Mayhew, his ink-stained hands clenched in fists of righteous rage. 'But for the most part, no one has heeded my call to revolution. Why? Campuswide political apathy, that's why. I'm making that subject the target of my next editorial cartoon. That should hit those apathetic sheep where they live. The shit will really hit the fan then, let me tell you.' 
3	A Mother Confronts The Australian Government About Framing and Cover-Up in the Schapelle Corby CaseSimon Langford The e-mails and cables show, conclusively, that the government withheld vital primary evidence from Schapelle Corby, a 27-year-old woman who was on trial in Indonesia for having 4.2kg of marijuana that was found in her bag upon collection at Bali airport. However, subsequent black-and-white proof of innocenceshowed 5kg had been added to the weight of her bags after check-in, and that the offending bag was the only one not screened at Sydney airport. The Australian government and media have tried to bury this. The Expendable Projects website (www.expendable.tv), which holds all the material, has been totally censored by all mainstream media organs. Politicians refuse to even acknowledge correspondence. Schapelle Corby herself is still in a squalid cell after eight years, and has the rest of her 20-year sentence to endure. However, people are slowly beginning to notice. Today, a mother, editor, and researcher named Diane Frola, from Schapelle Corbys home state of Queensland, recorded two compelling videos seeking to directly confront the Australian Government and make a plea to others to become in involved in the struggle to shed light on an outrageous framing and cover-up: See second video below: The producers of these films are asking activists across the world to help, by distributing these and the Expendable film itself, as widely as possible. They are urging people across the world to bypass the censorship of the Australian media, and expose greed and corruption at the expense of a life. Time is pressing, however. After so long in an oppressive overbearing jail, Schapelle Corby has been diagnosed as mentally ill, and has already attempted suicide on at least one occasion.

2	Muslim Immigrants May Be Forced To Publicly Announce Allegiance To America According to Texas Representative Molly White, Texas Muslim Capitol Day should be a time for her staff to ask representatives from the Muslim community to renounce Islamic terrorist groups and publicly announce allegiance to America and our laws. Texas Muslim Capitol Day originated in 2003 by the Texas chapter of CAIR. On the day, Muslim residents of Houston and Dallas travel to Austin to learn about the political process and meet state lawmakers. On their way to the capitol this year, the group was met by protestors holding signs that read Go Home Take Obama With You. White was not present. Islam will never dominate the United States and by the grace of God, it will never dominate Texas, one protestor yelled into the microphone. Texas has about 420,000 Muslim residents, making it the home to the eighth largest Muslim population in the country. Mustafaa Carroll, executive director of the Houston chapter of CAIR, called the protestors actions very frustrating. Im more concerned with state leaders and what they say than I am about anybody else because they are the lawmakers, Carroll told reporters. CAIR also sent a letter to House Speaker Joe Straus asking him to review whether Rep. White violated any house rules or ethics violation in her actions. What do you think of the incident? Was White within her rights to express her opinion? 
1	A compliment went horribly awry Monday, when Greg Upchurch, 26, praised girlfriend Sheri Werning, 25, for her 'juicy ass.' 'I didn't mean fat,' said Upchurch, explaining himself to the offended Werning. 'By 'juicy,' I meant curvy, you know? Like, that you're really healthy and athletic, and not some sickly little stick figure.' Having dug himself into a hole, Upchurch pondered comparing Werning's posterior to Jennifer Lopez's, but ultimately decided against it. 
3	DARPA seeks more lifelike humanoid robots in upcoming Grand ChallengeMadison Ruppert, Contributor DARPAs next contest will task robotics specialists around the globe with the behemoth challenge of creating robots capable of navigating their surroundings and even handle tools with skills and dexterity near that of a human. One must expect that DARPA will have high standards this year given the recent leaps forward the military has made when it comes to robotics. Indeed, recently we have seen DARPA fund the creation of the worlds fastest legged robot known as the Cheetah, the successor to Big Dog, known as Alpha Dog, which has the ability to take commands from humans and carry hundreds of pounds of gear through rough terrain, a robot capable of jumping onto buildings, and a robotic appendage that can answer phone calls and open doors autonomously. DARPA the Pentagons mad scientist research arm is expected to announce their new contest in the next few weeks. They are expected to ask engineers and designers to create a bipedal (two-legged) robot capable of a wide variety of tasks ranging from opening doors to driving cars, crossing rough terrain and conducting industrial repair activities. The goal of this Grand Challenge is to create a humanoid robot that can operate in an environment built for people and use tools made for people, said Massey in an email to Hizook. The specific challenge is built around an industrial disaster response. Massey is the director of advanced programs at HDT Robotics and he reportedly attended a recent speech during which the Grand Challenge was outlined. The speech was held by Dr. Gill Pratt, DARPAs program director. Dr. Pratt briefed the audience on the upcoming Grand Challenge and Masseys account was reportedly confirmed by other attendees contacted by Danger Room. The focus of industrial disaster response seems similar to other military robotics project like SAFFiR, which is designed to assist firefighting efforts on submarines and other naval vessels. In recent years, DARPA has put a larger focus on these Grand Challenges, with the earlier initiatives focusing on self-driving cars. These efforts helped push forward the development of autonomous vehicles considerably, changing the notion of self-driving vehicles from science fiction to reality. Like many DARPA efforts, before they got involved, the area seemed wildly fantastical and wholly unrealistic. Obviously they changed that quite a bit. Partially thanks to DARPAs push, autonomous vehicles have improved quite a bit, even allowing a legally blind man to take a drive in one of the self-driving vehicles. Back in 2004, DARPA began their first Grand Challenge, worth $1 million, which asked researchers to create autonomous vehicles able to travel off-road, although not a single car was able to travel over eight miles on the course. In 2005, DARPA doubled the prize money to $2 million, and the challenge saw much greater success. This time around, five autonomously controlled vehicles were able to complete the course, a total of 132 miles, with a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) built by scientists from Stanford taking the prize money. Then in 2007, DARPA gave $2 million in prize money to a collaborative team from Carnegie Mellon and Tartan Racing. Their entry was not only able to drive itself, but it was also capable of many other astounding feats like avoiding other autonomous vehicles and even obeying traffic signs. It is hardly a leap to see why DARPA would shift their focus to humanoid robots after their previous efforts have proven to be highly successful. It is worth pointing out that this newest challenge will open up greater opportunities to much smaller (perhaps even amateur) operations, whereas building a robot car would require resources only available to institutions like Stanford and Carnegie Mellon. It might also give players with fewer resources the ability to begin to compete with giants like Boston Dynamics, which is behind some of the worlds most famous military robots like the four-legged Alpha Dog and many more. DARPA will only provide funding to a dozen different teams, but that will not stop unpaid teams from entering the competition. If some of the unpaid teams perform better than the paid teams they will begin receiving funding, according to Massey. Massey says that this years contestants will likely have to create some astounding machines capable of get[ting] into the drivers seat [of a vehicle] and drive it to a specified location. Such a robot might then exit the vehicle, stroll towards a locked door and then unlock it, open the door, and go inside. That very well may not be the end of the robots travels, according to Massey. Such a robot might be instructed to traverse a 100 meter, rubble strewn hallway after which it the human-like robot locates a pipe that is leaking and repairs it. DARPA has yet to publicly release the full details of this years Grand Challenge, but what little information we have available to us indicates that this project will not be a walk in the park, even for the most advanced experts like the ones at Boston Dynamics. Yet, considering the fact that having a robotic car drive a 132-mile course seemed near impossible just years ago, I believe we should steer clear of thinking of this years task as unattainable. It will be fascinating to see what contestants come up with, and even more interesting (or potentially disturbing) to see how these humanoid robots are actually rolled out in the military arsenal.

2	Conservative Reporter SLAMS Hillary To Her Face, Youre A Vile, Scorned, Old Lady [VIDEO] We would not want to be Hillary Clinton right now. In a clip that has now gone viral, Kristin Tate exposed the former Secretary of State for what she really is. This is a scorned, vile old woman, Tate commented. Nobody likes her. She never smiles, and when she DOES smile its terrifying! Shes no Bill Clinton, Tate continued. At least Bill Clinton was likable. He would show up and play his saxophone, everyone liked him. This woman Hillaryshe has a big likability problem. This is not the first time Hillary has been described as unappealing, and this sentiment is reflected in her poll numbers. Socialist Bernie Sanders is giving her a run for her money. Watch the clip below and tell us what you think. Does Hillary need to be kept far away from the White House? 
3	Britain Follows America By Assassinating Citizens Without ChargesBy Ron Paul To me its almost an opening salvo. It isnt like someone secretly gave us this information. This serves the purpose of conditioning the British people. Before you know it, theyll forget about the vote that took place several years ago. There will be more stories about how horrible ISIS is, and the British wont take into consideration the fact that the answer to ISIS is staring us right in the face: Just get out of the way, and let the Russians and Iranians handle them. Despite all the drones and bombs that we have dropped, ISIS is in the oil business! Theres something truly bizarre about that. Theres one simple solution: Get out of there. We dont need to be in there. We only make the problem more complex. America doesnt need to practice mercantilism either. We thought for so long that we had to protect the oil. Well, right now we have a glut of oil because the market provided the solution. We drilled and found a deluge of oil. Even the Egyptians are finding oil. So the marketplace and Liberty are so much better than international bodies like NATO. The sooner we wake up, the better. See more by former Congressman Dr. Ron Paul at the Liberty Report where this article first appeared. IsraHell you mean! Isis Im so glad that I have learned how to trade full time in just 2 weeks. Just Google Superior Trading System I can assure that these guys can take good care of you just like they took care of me. Douche spammer Uh, Just in case the author has not been paying attention. . . . Britain has been doing this like FOREVER 
3	Bank for International Settlements on Big BanksJames Hall, Contributor Watch the Banker to the Worlds Bank: Time to Deleverage, video interview on CNBC. From Chapter V. Restoring fiscal sustainability, in this report concludes: Sovereigns have been losing their risk-free status at an alarming rate. Fiscal positions were already unsustainable in many advanced economies before the financial crisis, which in turn led to significant further weakening. The deterioration of public finances has undermined financial stability, lowered the credibility of fiscal and monetary policy, impaired the functioning of financial markets, and increased private sector borrowing costs. Restoring sustainable fiscal positions will require implementing effective fiscal consolidation, promoting long-term growth, and breaking the adverse feedback loop between bank and sovereign risk. While definitions differ, the term shadow banking broadly refers to financial activities carried out by non-bank financial institutions that create leverage and/or engage in maturity and liquidity transformation. Thus, even though they are subject to different regulatory frameworks, shadow and traditional banks operate alongside each other. Shadow banking exists because historical and institutional factors, the rapid pace of financial innovation and specialization have all increased the attractiveness of performing certain types of financial intermediation outside traditional banking. In normal times, shadow banking enhances the resilience of the broader financial system by offering unique financial products and a range of vehicles for managing credit, liquidity and maturity risks. But shadow banking also creates risks that can undermine financial stability in the absence of prudential safeguards. The bombshell news that raises alarm is the admission that Too Big To Fail is still the operative principle that drives the banking system into an unsustainable servicing of debt obligations. The cloak of the shadow banking practice, intended to circumvent usual regulatory standards, creeps along the soft underbelly of respectable central banking. When a collapse catches up with the racket of excessive leverage, the ensuing scandal is directed to some esoteric phantom operation that is expendable. The analysis in Big Banks Take Risks Expecting Taxpayers To Cover Lossesidentifies who ultimately bears the risk of the world fiat, debt created, financial system. The report also emphasized the need to increase the safety of the banking system by pushing banks to be responsible for their losses, add to their financial buffers and avoid risky practices. It added that big banks still have an interest in using high-risk debt so-called leveraging to magnify any trading gains because they can expect taxpayers to step in and cover their losses if things go bad. Big banks continue to have an interest in driving up their leverage without enough regard for the consequences of failure: because of their systemic weight, they expect the public sector to cover the downside, said BIS. Another worrying sign is that trading, after a brief crisis-induced squeeze, has again become a major source of income for large banks. Protecting the fractional reserve scheme, at all cost, is the true purpose of the BIS. Sovereign holdings, with their ensuing national debt owed to the banksters pays homage to the real owners of underlying collateral assets.From a source in the essay, Revolution against Central Banks, explains a scheme of global magnitude for financial control. The BIS is taking national currency deposits from the 55 member/owner central banks and converting them to SDRs on its own balance sheet. The SDRs are claims on the freely usable currencies of IMF members, therefore, the deposits of the central banks become claims on those currenciesthe deposits of the fiat central banks who can deposit as much as they feel at the BIS in whatever currency the choseincluding the SDRs allotted to their nation, as the central banks are the sole depositories for the national wealth/sellers of the national debt. The BIS is then paying out dividends to these same member CBs in the form of SDRs, which again can be used to claim currencies. By August 2009, they had just made up out of thin air almost twelve times the supposed global supply of SDRs. They are truly acting like the central bank of the world, complete with printing! By any objective standard of decency and accountability, the BIS is the ultimate clearinghouse of worldwide debt for the New World Order. Need proof, just reflect on the diversion used by a captain from one of the most powerful Godfather families of investment banking. Finally in, Time to Stop Expecting So MuchFrom the Fed?, Goldman Sachs strategist Jim ONeill told CNBC: Even the central bank for central banks, the Bank for International Settlements, is playing down the power of the Fed and other central banks. It would be a mistake to think that central bankers can use their balance sheets to solve every economic and financial problem, the BIS said in its annual report. In fact, near-zero policy rates, combined with abundant and nearly unconditional liquidity support, weaken incentives for the private sector to repair balance sheets and for fiscal authorities to limit their borrowing requirements, the report said. World consumers are being pick-pocketed in the graveyard of financial ruin. Strip away the skin of a decayed corpse and what remains is the stark skeleton of a dead paper monitory system. The life-support methods used to keep the interest payments accruing only forestall the day of reckoning. The end game for the central bankers is foreclosure on pledged guarantees. Currency swaps will become a recall of national fiat species and a replacement with a float of a new world coinage. National governments are mere public diversions from the real power behind the thrones.

2	BREAKING: Black Panthers Call For Lynching Of Darren Wilson Supporters During the violent race riots in Ferguson, the Black Panther Party has been one of the major groups advocating violence. They have repeatedly been called out for race-baiting and making felonious threats to police officials and supporters of Darren Wilson. Most recently they have called for the lynching of anyone on the side of the cop, who was relieved from indictment weeks ago. According to reports, Quanell X, the leader of the New Black Panther Party, recently joined John Gibson on Fox News Radio to discuss the incidents involving Rice, Garner, and Brown. Although most of his responses were relatively standard, he did make one comment that caught the attention of listeners. My biggest concern with this, Mr. Gibson, is if there is not a significant change of attitude and mindset of police officers in the inner cities of black America, Quanell stated. This country is on the verge of a civil war. What do you think of the groups threats? Does the government need to take them seriously? 
3	Agenda 21 - Unconstitutional ConservationRocky Balboa Agenda 21 was first introduced to the international arena at the UN Conference on Environment and Development (Earth Summit) held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. 178 governments voted at Rio to adopt the program. It has since been adopted by over 200 countries. Lately weve seen signs of implementation of Agenda 21 in the USA and elsewhere. It was reported in 2010 that approximately 1500 families in Miami, Florida were losing their homes due to a directive from Miami-Dades Department of Environmental Resource Management (DERM) which classified nearly 8.5 square miles in Florida as protected wetlands.(1) Whatever the reasoning within DERM if the restored wetlands would act as a buffer zone to ease future flooding fears such directives were a change of procedure in the USA which amongst other things has infringed on private property rights a foundation stone of the US Constitution (Fifth Amendment) and a principal guarantor for peoples liberty. The due process of law has been challenged as well. Code officials have been given extensive powers never before seen and which some have termed, Gestapo!(2) Currently, the Chinese government is attempting to move approximately 250,000,000 people from rural areas into urban areas. With construction of large apartment blocks happening now at a frantic pace, they hope to complete this task in twelve to fifteen years.(3) Maybe the Chinese experience can be seen as a forerunner to the latest global environmental dictates. Chinas long history of authoritarian rule probably says a lot for the early introduction of living restrictions in that country (One-Child Policy, 1978) and similarly says a lot for the way American values have been undermined in recent times that resistance in America to programs like Agenda 21 has been very weak. (There are also areas designated military reservations which for many people gives the lie to the supposed imperative and urgency for governments to protect the planet by implementing these sustainable development measures. As we all know, the military-industrial-complex is the most wasteful and polluting of industries, and to be talking about sustainable development whilst at the same time taking for granted that humanity will retain its military capabilities, tells us a lot about the architects behind Agenda 21, if nothing else.) The big question is whether or not Agenda 21 was formulated as a genuine attempt to solve global environmental problems or whether its a program to enslave humanity, but disguised as an all-encompassing environmental action plan. Certainly, the fear of climate change and the potential harm to our planet that rising temperatures could inflict has been used to bring in, amongst other things, carbon taxes which is just another tax on top of all the other taxes we pay adding to the ever increasingly tax burden on the majority of people minus the mega-rich and corporations, of course (who manage to dodge paying their fair share of taxes). Or possibly, Agenda 21 was initially envisioned and formulated sincerely, but was hijacked by the New World Order brigade who saw Agenda 21 as a means to accelerate their agenda to enslave humanity.(5) A quick perusal at the early originators of Agenda 21 may give some answers to these questions or at least raise an eyebrow or two. John Anthony, a renowned expert on the topic of United Nations Agenda 21, sees the origins of Agenda 21 coming from two significant players in global affairs Gro Brundtland and Maurice Strong.(6) Both are veteran Bilderberg attendees. Okay, if Bilderberg is just a friendly discussion forum then we neednt dwell any longer on this. Yet many people see a greater significance in the choice of these two global players. Brundtland was Vice President of Socialist International whose aim is to replace capitalism with socialism. Former oilman, Maurice Strong, had hardly the environmental credentials to justify his being given the directorship of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Strong was CEO of American Water Development Incorporated (AWDI), a corporation with a history of dodgy business credentials involving massive environmental degradation. Strong and Brundtland were instrumental in formulating the 1987 report, Our Common Future one of the precursors to Agenda 21. Another alarm bell surrounding Agenda 21 is the decision by the Monsanto Company in 2013 to join the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) which many believe is a global front group for Agenda 21 and according to Greenpeace, is among the key players responsible for slowing the progress of nations around the world in tackling climate change effectively. Ethan A. Huff goes even further by saying that Agenda 21 is a United Nations (UN) scheme to surreptitiously seize property rights from people worldwide and pack the worlds populations into tiny micro-cities controlled by a centralized government.(7) So here we have two Bilderberg members instrumental in the early stages of Agenda 21s formulation. We have an Agenda 21 endorsement by one of the worlds leading bogeymen corporations, Monsanto. And finally a view of the United Nations as working to bring about the New World Order. The problem with action plans formulated by these international bodies is that theyll inevitably lean towards corporate needs. The work of Thomas Ferguson, who champions the Investment theory of party competition whereby business elites play the leading part in political decision-making, may encapsulate many of the drawbacks of Agenda 21.(8) One suspects the Chinese are urbanizing at a rapid pace, for example, mainly to expand consumer numbers (in contrast to self-sufficient landowners) rather than in adherence to any UN initiative. Its a little unsettling reading the arguments against Agenda 21 and the counter-arguments. One could conclude that no one is really concerned for the natural environment environmental concerns just being another arena for political movements to clash and as a platform for political evangelizing which is the essence of an article by Stephanie Mencimer, which focuses on the shenanigans of the now fashionable Tea Party.(9) What if everythings been hijacked? Will sincere people have to take back what was once theirs? Will that be the task of humanity in the next fifty years to reconfigure all our government bodies, institutions, and corporations, back to their pure, sincere beginnings? Or if were skeptical about them ever having worked on behalf of the 99%, then well have to form our own movements. Bring on the Occupy Movement, Wearechange, etc. Or think of it this way. Has our natural environment got to the stage were totalitarian management initiatives have to be implemented for us to have any chance of securing a future for our planet? The answer to that depends on how one views the future and what one expects from the future. As David Attenborough put it recently, Quite simply, we will run out of food. People talk about doom-laden scenarios happening in the future: they are happening in Africa now. You can see it perfectly clearly. Periodic famines are due to too many people living on land that cant sustain them.(10)More recently he said: We are a plague on the Earth, its coming home to roost over the next 50 years or so Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us, and the natural world is doing it for us right now.(11) Maybe (or definitely) the main problem with Agenda 21 and other such global initiatives is that most people havent heard of them. Why is this? Is it because of a corporate media maintaining a relative silence to please the globalists? Or is it because people dont care? dont care to educate themselves, to inform themselves, and dont care about their natural environment. Maybe theres a bit of both here. We get the government we deserve. Maybe we also get the natural environment we deserve. Sometimes when the carrot doesnt work, the stick takes its place. With the overriding importance of maintaining a healthy natural environment, the stick may have to take prominence. A local supermarket in my area recently tried an initiative of no plastic bags on Saturdays. Most people responded by deciding to shop Sundays, and the supermarket became like a ghost-town on Saturdays. The balls in our court. What are we going to do with it?

1	Citizens across the United States have selected the exact same teams to win every single game of the NCAA Tournament, handing in millions of completely identical brackets, college-basketball-pool organizers reported Thursday. 'Usually the brackets are fairly similar overall, but there was always at least one person in the country who had slightly different picks,' said Kevin Murphy, who coordinated an NCAA Tournament pool for his office. 'It must be this particular field of teams that has everybody in absolute agreement. You'd think people would select a favorite team here and there, but they all seem really determined to base their picks on logic. It's not going to be much fun dividing up the prize money equally.' According to recent statistical analysis, everyone in the nation picked a losing bracket. 
3	EU Aims to Mandate Tracking Device to Forcibly Limit Drivers Speed70 mph would be the forced maximum speed under the EU scheme, while a multitude of methods are already in use to track drivers worldwide. As if the European Union (EU) hasnt seized enough power, it now has its eyes on controlling how fast you can drive. Under the auspices of the European Commissions Mobility and Transport Department, the EU aims to take over for European drivers in the name of reducing roadway deaths. The scheme, which would fit new cars with camera systems that read the limits displayed on road signs and automatically apply the brakes, has been opposed by the UK Transportation Secretary Patrick McLoughlin. The UK has often clashed with EU power, refusing to adopt the Euro, and having reportedly considered backing out of the supra-national EU government over several issues. A separate configuration that is also being deployed under what has been termed Intelligent Speed Adaptation would transmit speed limit data from GPS satellites to vehicle computer systems and apply automatic braking. Both paths of the scheme to put drivers in the backseat would also cue verbal computer commands warning drivers to slow down and use caution. According to the London Telegraph: The scheme would work either using satellites, which would communicate limits to cars automatically, or using cameras to read road signs. Drivers can be given a warning of the speed limit, or their speed could be controlled automatically under the new measures. This has Big Brother written all over it and is exactly the sort of thing that gets peoples backs up about Brussels. Meanwhile, Britains Automobile Association (AA) criticized the potential to create unavoidable dangers that drivers would be helpless to stop. A spokesperson gave this horrifying but real scenario: If you were overtaking a tractor and suddenly needed to accelerate to avoid a head-on collision, you would not be able to. There are legitimate concerns that this same draconian control scheme, and others like it, will soon hit home in the United States, with implications for every American interested in mobility. There are many track and control plans that have already begun in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world. Just a few include: Googles self-driving cars are already being tested in Americas streets. Last week, a top U.S. safety official called for them to include mandatory data recorders before they are released on the nations roads en masse. How there could be human factors at play for the owner of a driverless car is anybodys guess. Already many drivers around the world have adopted tracking devices from insurance companies voluntarily placed in their vehicles that collect and monitor driving data and offer rewards and discount rates to safe drivers while data is collected about every move your car makes and sent back to the company (and their partners). A new law under the Obama Administration has required that all new cars be fitted withmandatory black box Event Data Recorders (EDR) by 2014, which have already been added to most newer vehicles: The collected data would include vehicle speed, whether the brake had been activated, crash forces at the moment of impact, the state of the engine throttle, airbag deployment timing and whether or not seatbelts were in use. Until a recent Supreme Court ruling, many police departments were tracking suspects vehiclesvia a GPS tracking dart without a warrant. Numerous loopholes in the ruling still give police plenty of leeway. It was just revealed days ago that Australia is adding some 25,000 license plates per week to its database which tracks ordinary drivers via a GPS-based Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) trial, which uses global position systems and cameras fitted in police vehicles, in part to catch unregistered vehicles, to aid in criminal investigations and, of course, to build up a massive database with many applications. Random people have found GPS tracking devices on their cars, without having any idea they were suspects (or were they?). California student Yasir Afifi found a device on his car during an oil change, posted pictures of it online and contemplated selling it before the FBI swarmed him to demand he return it to them. The ACLU has already blown the whistle on the same practice taking place in the United States, with police around the nation collecting, storing and tracking millions of license plates, which it scans through a database to flag traffic offenders, warrant violators, suspects and more. Red light cameras have become so widespread they are almost ubiquitous. Catching offenders on camera and mailing them a ticket all without the presence of a police officer, they are notorious for generating massive revenue for cities as well as private companies. While many protesters have tried (and sometimes won) at having them removed on the basis that they violate due process and actually endanger drivers. In Florida, Department of Traffic officials have beencaught changing the rules to allow shorter yellow lights, resulting in a sharp increase of camera-enforced red light violations. Phoenix, Arizona protesters succeeded in having the cameras removed from highways, though they remain widespread in other parts of the country. Many toll road systems now use tracking devices for pay/authorization, and they have also beenused by police to catch criminals. From the beginning, these transponders were designed as a payment collection system AS WELL AS a tracking system. Heres a link to the patent proving that intention: Open road cashless toll collection system and method using transponders and cameras to track vehicles. Adding further insult to injury, states like Texas do not hire toll booth operators, refuse to take cash and require drivers to adopt transponders or pay much higher rates via mail after photographing license plates and auto-mailing a bill to the registered address for payment! Californias Department of Traffic and likely plenty of others use the technology to track the flow of traffic, officially storing data on all vehicles moving past their monitors for 24 hours: That is exactly what Californias 511 system does. Scanners placed throughout the highway network track the movement of motorists with toll transponders as a means of monitoring traffic flow. According to the California Department of Transportation, the system tracks individual ID codes, storing a movement history for each particular car in a database for 24 hours. Lawson suggested that anyone with access to the 511 database would have the ability to track in real time the movement of any vehicle of interest after having scanned its ID code just one time. Meanwhile, privacy experts have exposed the ability to easily hack these transponders and use them to track individual vehicles anonymously or to cheat on toll road payments, clone tracker devices or interfere with them. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) have lobbied Congress to pass a bill mandating that breathalyzers be put in all new vehicles. While it has not yet been adopted, the advocacy group has been pushing for it many years now (since at least 2007), in the name of curbing drunk driving accidents. A version of the bill has also been introduced in New York state, and would require drivers to pass a screening every time they start their car, regardless of whether they have come anywhere near alcohol. Since 2006, UK police have been deploying mobile devices to digitally collect fingerprints, photos and other ID information from drivers during routine traffic stops, logging them in one of the largest per capita database in the world. Metro police claim the records are not retained after being run through a national database, but taking their word for it would be absurd given governments track record for respecting privacy in an age of big data (Snowdens revelationsimplicated the UKs GCHQ in conjunction with NSA spying). Mobile fingerprint scanners have popped up in the United States as well, and they ARE used for roadside stops in some locales, starting with Richmond County, Georgia and Sandy Springs, Georgia: Three of the Motorola devices are handheld and portable. The scanners can take a persons picture, digitally scan a finger and search a national database for a match, all while cops are roadside on traffic stops. Worse, Police One magazine, advocating the use of the technology, admits that the partial print scanner makes frequent false matches, urging police to compare detained persons with the biographical data of suspects in their database. In a chillingly unscientific method, it recommends that: If age, race, height and weight are considerably off from the individual at the scene, you probably have a mismatch. This leaves the door wide open for arresting and falsely imprisoning innocent people particularly if they bear any similarity to the physical attributes of existing suspects that is prone to abuse and harassment, even if detainment is only temporary for hours or days: Because the match is made with only partial fingerprint data, its always possible to have the data match more than one individual and to get a match of someone other than the person whose finger was scanned. Most of the time, comparison of the match data with the characteristics individual at hand clears up any misidentification. Again, police and their lobbyists have dismissed privacy concerns about innocent people being entered into criminal databases (not to mention put through the paces) by claiming that the data is discarded after being checked against the system for matches. Conclusion The Orwellian control grid projected in 1984 was more than an allegorical warning; it was an emerging Big Brother system based on big data designed to manage entire populations and make decisions on their behalf based on promises of efficiency, catching terrorists, criminals and other bad guys. Such technocratic rule is designed to benefit the chosen elite who have authorizations to bypass the rules imposed upon the little people of society, who will be increasingly tracked via high tech surveillance devices that not only monitor innocent people but provide them with permissions to engage in activities, travel, receive rations (food, clothing, health care and more), clear screenings with authorities, get jobs and beyond. All this has made the 4th Amendment to the Constitution, along with the rest of the Bill of Rights and the larger idea of an improving, progressive free society based on the foundation of individual rights little more than a doormat to tyrants trampling on the population and dragging in dirt with each new step. That relic, which establishes an expectation for the guarantee of privacy and due process (including warrants based upon probable cause before searches occur), was officially penned by James Madison based upon the input of numerous contentious factions of founding fathers who refused to ratify the Constitution until they were satisfied with civil liberties protections. It reads in full: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

1	Saying love could be as close as a neighbor or colleague youve never once found yourself remotely interested in, new dating website OnSecondThought.com launched this week with a promise to pair users with people they already know but thought they were too good for. On Second Thought uses a compatibility formula unlike any other site, drawing your personalized matches exclusively from those within your daily life who youve always considered beneath you, said founder Layla Mufti, adding that the sites easy-to-use interface allows members to get another look at the network of people theyve written off in the past for not being attractive, intelligent, interesting, polite, active, hygienic, or stable enough to meet their standards. One day you might get paired with someone from work who youve always regarded as mediocre-looking and kind of dumb, while the next it could be a friend of a friend whose annoying Twitter feed you muted. Our algorithm is designed to help you see a person youve always found unappealing as your next romantic partnerat this point, why not? While Mufti expressed her hope to see the site grow, she said the true measure of its success will be the number of short-lived marriages it spawns. 
3	Gold and Silver Approved as Legal Tender by Arizona Senateselfnews Post The Arizona Senate voted Thursday to approve SB 1439 which allows businesses and the state government to accept payments in gold or silver. The Legal Tender bill specifies thatlegal tender in Arizona consists of all of the following: Currently all debts and taxes in Arizona and the rest of the United States are either paid with Federal Reserve Notes (dollars) which were authorized as legal tender by Congress, or with coins issued by the U.S. Treasury very few of which have gold or silver in them. The law also exempts taxing the exchange of gold and silver into any other currency, and states that gold and silver as legal tender would not be subject to tax or regulation as property other than money. S.B. 1439 is legislation modeled after Utahs which was the first to pass and be signed into law. Several other states have introduced similar measures motivated by the dollar instability caused by the Federal Reserves recent monetary policies. Gold and silver have historically held their value compared to unstable dollars. The value of the U.S. dollar has plummeted 98% against gold in the last 100 years since the Federal Reserve took over as the U.S. central bank in 1913. As the Federal Reserve continues debase the currency through persistent quantitative easing, many more states may be looking to cushion themselves against further declines by legalizing competing currencies like gold and silver in the near future. Arizonas S.B. 1439 must still pass in the State House and be signed by Governor Jan Brewer before becoming law. Read other articles by selfnews Post Here 
1	With the near-ubiquity of social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, more athletes than ever have been able to confirm every widely believed stereotype concerning their arrogance, lack of perspective, and generally inflated sense of self-importance, sources who study online consumer behavior reported this week. 'From Vikings running back Adrian Peterson using Twitter as a platform for illiterate rants on America's lack of Christian morals to Deion Sanders live-tweeting a domestic disturbance that led to his wife being arrested in front of his sons, we're seeing athletes take self-involvement to a whole new level,' said Lindsay Fordham, director of social networking surveys at the The Media Audit 'Athletes given access to today's powerful, flexible personal media tools are really putting themselves on display like never before.' 'Basically, once you add in the sexual misadventures, the $10,000 bar bills, and the homophobic slurs leveled at their rivals, social media is confirming every terrible belief the general public has ever held about athletes,' Fordham added. Perhaps the most visible of all non-stereotype-shattering athletes is Chad Ochocinco, the current free agent wide receiver whose stints with the Bengals and Patriots were punctuated by his constant Twitter use. From 2009 to 2012, Ochocinco gained attention and disgust by tweeting the situation on the sidelines of games-in-progress, during the State of the Union address, several times on the quantity and brand-name of his girlfriend's birth control pills, that his wallet had been stolen and subsequently found, at least once for each of the 15 passes he caught during the 2011-2012 season, that he had no intention of curtailing his Twitter use despite being asked to by Patriots officials, and, on Thursday, that he had been cut from the Patriots. 'Chad grasped the power of social media early on,' Pete Prisco of CBS Sports said. 'He recognized it as a way to tell people all about Chad Ochocinco, day in and day out, during the season and the offseason, on the toilet, at the strip club, everywhere. But he was by no means the only athlete to realize its potential. Jose Canseco, Michael Beasley, almost any NHL playeryou name it, they're making their entire profession look like wet-brained goons online.' According to figures from the Nielsen Co., in the past month alone professional athletes in the four major sports have used Twitter and Facebook to post more than 1,000 messages concerning expenditures on personal entertainment that exceed the nation's average annual household income; more than 200 poorly informed opinions on politics, religion, or current events; and nearly 100 expressions of apathy on losing crucial games or being eliminated from the playoffs. Also posted were roughly 5,000 retellings of extremely mundane personal matters such as breakfast contents, video game triumphs against friends or family members, unusually late wake-up times, unintelligible statements that are thought to describe sexual conquests or employ personal pet phrases the athlete in question does not realize are not universal, and reposts and retweets of other athletes such as Chad Ochocinco and Adrian Peterson. 'The strange thing is, of course, that the sort of behavior we claim to hate in athletes' social media behavior doesn't differ significantly from the behavior of the average Twitter or Facebook userself-centered stuff that people only believe to be important because it happened to them,' Fordham said. 'Plus, there are literally hundreds of athletes who have been besieged by abuse, taunts, and even threats on their pages and feeds. Sports fans, just like athletes, feel alternately entitled and betrayed by the world at large when things don't go their way, and they don't really behave any better than athletes when it comes down to it.' 'I suppose you could say social media has shown us that athletes really aren't much different from the rest of us when you get right down to it,' she added. 'And frankly, that's disgusting.' 
1	Local resident Stacy Nielsen takes great pride in her deep, dark, horrible suntan, the 28-year-old sales associate revealed Tuesday. Nielsen shows off her revolting suntan. 'I worked hard all summer to get this tan,' said Nielsen, her wide smile threatening to crack her sun-dried, rusty-orange face. 'It's not like you can just lay out whenever. To get an even tan, you have to know when to go tanning, and what to expose when.' Nielsen frequently offers coworkers advice on proper flipping procedures, tanning oils, and skin moisturizers. 'I guess you could call tanning an addiction for me,' added Nielsen, crossing a leg that resembled a hot dog forgotten on a gas grill. 'But I just can't stand to look like a ghost.' Despite having taken no vacation this summer, Nielsen has managed to 'get a little color,' impressing her coworkers at Reliant Consumer Health Products. 'Stacy looks amazing,' said fellow sales associate Judy Haskins, overlooking the obvious flaking and discoloration of Nielsen's epidermis, perhaps in an unconscious attempt to cope with her colleague's increasingly reptilian appearance. 'I just don't see how she finds the time. I guess, unlike me, she has the type of complexion the sun loves.' Haskins is not the only one to unfavorably compare his or her own light skin to Nielsen's withered husk. 'I thought I had a tan, but I'm two shades lighter than Stacy,' said Don Rourke, his eyes glued to the sandpapery skin revealed by Nielsen's clothing. 'Well, if you ever need me to help put suntan lotion on your back, Stacy, just give me a call.' Stretching her arms over her head to reveal her ghastly burnt-ochre armpits, the sun-raped Nielsen related some tricks sunbathers can use to prematurely age their skin and increase their risk of skin cancer. 'I catch a few rays over the lunch hour if the sun's out,' Nielsen said. 'Then, if I have a little time after work, I drive out to the lake and relax on the pier with a Diet Coke. And, of course, I sun a lot during the weekendsat home and at the lakeshore. I make sure I'm out there during peak hours. I don't burn easily, so sunscreen isn't really necessary.' Nielsen said she looks forward to the Caribbean cruise she will take with her boyfriend in January. 'It's going to be so great getting out of Wisconsin,' the leather-handbag-like Nielsen said. 'By that time of the year, I'm so faded, it's embarrassing.' 'I don't want to look horrible my first day on the beach, so I probably should use a sunless tanning lotion before I go,' Nielsen added, twirling a hay-like stalk of blonde hair around her finger. Dr. Helen Rasmussen, a Rochester-based clinical psychologist who specializes in sun-related psychological disorders, attributed Nielsen's ardent cultivation of her horrible tan to a broad phenomenon she calls 'Climate Overcompensation Syndrome.' 'People who live in cold regions are often beset with complexes over their climates,' Rasmussen said. 'Therefore, we see things like Wisconsinites who wear floral-print shorts during a brief snap of unseasonably warm February weather, and sorority sisters in Michigan whose keggers always seem to incorporate plastic leis and Wayfarer shades. Climate Overcompensation Syndrome results in the public nudity along mosquito-plagued Minnesota lakes, and the Key West screensaver popular with office workers in Illinois.' Statements made by Nielsen's boyfriend, hardware-store manager Curt Kleis, seem to support Rasmussen's theory. 'I'm going to spend as much time as possible outside with my beach bunny while we have the chance,' said Kleis, using a moniker which would imply that Nielsen is a nubile, attractively sun-kissed maiden. 'Before we know it, winter will be here and we'll be stuck inside with nothing to do.' 'We're definitely going back to the nude beach at Mazomanie a few more times,' said Kleis with a wink, oblivious to the sickening impact of his words. 'Stacy wanted to work more on her 'all-over tan,' if you know what I mean.' 
1	K&L Advertising executive Nathan Lohaus was killed in committee Monday, his life voted down by an 11-3 margin at the 2 p.m. departmental meeting. 'We threw Nathan out there and discussed him at length, but in the end we decided he just wasn't viable,' K&L creative director Marcus Somers said. 'We had a lot of really high hopes for Nathan, and we certainly tried to make him work, passing him back and forth and letting everybody take a stab at him, but in the end he just died on the table.' Somers extended his 'deepest regrets' to Lohaus' wife and children. 
3	The December 2014 Payroll Jobs ReportPaul Craig Roberts The reported new jobs are concentrated in construction (48,000), professional and business services (52,000), health care and social assistance (43,700), and waitresses and bartenders (43,600). The construction jobs are in heavy and civil engineering construction and specialty trade contractors. The personal and business services jobs are primarily administrative and waste services, about half of which are temporary help services. Ambulatory health care and nursing and residential care account for half of the health care and social assistance jobs. There are 43,600 new jobs in food services and drinking places. Durable goods manufacturing provided 13,000 jobs. The largest component is fabricated metal products (4,600 jobs). Manufacturing of computer and electronic products provided 400 jobs. In December the economy hired 500 more people in legal services, lost 14,100 jobs in accounting and bookkeeping, created 5,100 jobs in architectural and engineering services, 9,000 jobs in computer systems design and related services, and hired 3,800 managers. December is the Christmas shopping season. According to the payroll jobs report, retail department stores only created 600 jobs in December. Furniture and home furnishings stores lost 3,600 jobs; electronics and appliance stores lost 700 jobs; clothing and clothing accessories stores lost 8,900 jobs, and health and personal care stores lost 4,900 jobs. According to the current issue of Money magazine, the average deductible for single health care coverage has risen from $584 in 2006 to $1,217 in 2014. I do not believe that the economy created 252,000 jobs in December. Nevertheless, the location of the jobs is instructive. The New Economys superior jobs that Globalism was supposed to deliver to the US work force were a fiction. Middle-class American manufacturing and tradable professional skills jobs were sent offshore. The ladders of upward mobility were taken down, and the majority of the population faces a dismal economic outlook.

2	On The Day Of The Election Obama Quietly Did THIS We may have a new president on the horizon, but its important to remember that Barack Obama is still in the White House, with months left of his second term as president. So what was our Commander in Chief up to yesterday, while the rest of us were busy at the polls? He was making a last minute push for Hillary Clinton, of course. Obama was on a three-state sprint to campaign for Clinton in the final hours of the election, making desperate attempts to prevent Trump from becoming president. Obama then flew to Philadelphia to join his wife, the Clintons, Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen. Obama focused his efforts on winning black voters for Clinton. She has always struggled with this particular demographic, who has given Obama tremendous support. Instead of doing his job, Obama hit the campaign trail for Clinton every day since last Tuesday. He took a brief break on Saturday to play golf. All the progress weve made goes out the window if we dont win this election, Obama said over the weekend in Orlando. Weve got to work our hearts out this week, these next few days, as if our future depends on it. What do you think of Obama bending over backward to win Clinton the presidency? 
3	Epidemic of Birth Defects and Cancer in Iraq: Americas Toxic LegacyStephen Lendman Children born with two heads reflect it. Some had only one eye. Missing sockets look like the inside of an oyster. Theyre milky and shapeless. Some children had tails like a skinned lamb. One or more had a monkeys face. Girls had their legs grown together. They were half fish, half human. Miscarriages are frequent. Hundreds of newborns have cleft pallets, elongated heads, overgrown or short limbs, and other malformed body parts. Some are too gruesome to view. Deformed Iraqi newborns are commonplace. So are virtually every known illness and disease. Theyre inordinately frequent. They range from severe headaches, muscle pain and debilitating fatigue, to serious infections, cardiovascular disease, brain tumors and numerous type cancers. They include leukemia, Hodgkins disease and multiple myeloma. Others affect the bile ducts, bones, brain, breasts, colon, prostate, esophagus, gall bladder, liver, lungs, pancreas, pharynx, ovaries, salivary glands, small intestine, stomach, thyroid, urinary tract, and pelvis. Cancers been around a long time. In October 2010,Nature.com headlined Cancer: an old disease, a new disease or something in between? It said a striking rarity of malignancies in ancient physical remains might indicate that cancer was rare in antiquity. University of Illinois School of Public Health/Cancer Prevention Coalition Chairman/Professor Emeritus Samuel S. Epstein titled his 1978 award-winning book The Politics of Cancer. Twenty years later, he updated it. Its called The Politics of Cancer Revisited. He referred to doing so in modern societies. Iraq and other US war theaters are different. Iraq perhaps is in a class of its own. Vast parts of the country are irradiated. On May 21, Science Daily headlined Cancer and Birth Defects in Iraq: The Nuclear Legacy, saying: Ten years after the 2003 war, Mosul-based scientists detected high levels of uranium contamination in soil samples at three sites in the province of Nineveh which, coupled with dramatically increasing rates of childhood cancers and birth defects at local hospitals. Iraqs a toxic wasteland. Scores of pollutants include dangerous chemicals and metals, oil, gasoline, pesticides, bacteria, other poisons, and irradiation. Widespread depleted uranium use caused it. US bombs, missiles, shells and bullets use solid DU projectiles or warheads. Theyre de facto nuclear bombs. Their widespread use is more harmful than Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Inhaled or ingested DU particles or dust is highly toxic. Theyre designated illegal weapons for good reason. America prioritizes their use. Iraqis suffer horrendously. Radioactive contamination is virtually everywhere. DUs half-life is 4.5 billion years. Contamination is permanent. According to Helen Caldicott: Americas two Iraq wars have been nuclear wars because they have scattered nuclear material across the land, and people, particularly children, are condemned to die of malignancy and congenital disease essentially for eternity. From 1991 2008, the incidence of birth defects and childhood cancer spiked sevenfold. Over one-third of US Gulf War vets are dead, seriously ill, or permanently disabled. Science Daily said widespread carcinogenic material across Iraq suggests the public health legacy of the two Gulf Wars is only going to get worse. It does so annually. In October 2012, Londons Guardian headlined The victims of Fallujahs health crisis are stifled by western silence. Four new studies link one of the most severe public health crises in history to Americas two November 2004 assaults on the city. Cancer rates and birth defects spiked dramatically. Cancer expert Dr. Chris Busby studied conditions. He called Fallujahs crisis the highest rate of genetic damage in any population ever studied. In some respects, Basra replicates it. Its neural tube defects (aka open back) incidence is unprecedented. Numbers keep rising. Hydrocenphalus (water on the brain) cases among newborns are sixfold higher than America. US munitions bear full responsibility. In September 2012, the Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (BECT) headlined Metal Contamination and the Epidemic of Congenital Birth Defects in Iraqi Cities. Evidence it reported was damning. From October 1994 October 1995, congenital defects per 1,000 live births in Basras Maternity Hospital was 1.37. In 2003, it was 23. It represented an astonishing 17-fold (increase) in the same hospital. From 2003 2011, annual evaluations were conducted. Congenital birth defect occurrences and types were reported. Metal levels in hair, toenails and teeth were provided. Children with birth defects had nearly three times more lead in the enamel portion of deciduous teeth than others living in unimpacted areas. Parents were abnormally affected. Pregnant mothers and growing fetuses are especially vulnerable. Exposure to toxic air, water, and soil pollutants assures trouble. Following US bombings, contamination increased dramatically. Cancer, other diseases and birth defects followed. Theyre at epidemic levels. They keep rising. Populations in war zones suffer horrifically. Radiation-affected theaters compound it. BECT said nationwide Iraq ill health reports suggest greater crisis ahead. News of increases in childhood cancers, of perinatal and infant morbidity and mortality, and of unusual increases in congenital birth defects, have continued to emerge from across Iraq. Data from central Iraqs Al-Ramadi corroborated Fallujah findings. Basras seriously affected. Present knowledge on the effects of prenatal exposure to metals, combined with our results, suggests that the bombardment of Al Basrah and Fallujah may have exacerbated public exposure to metals, possibly culminating in the current epidemic of birth defects. Internal pre-Gulf War data showed cancer incidence at 40 per 100,000. By 1995, it was 800. By 2005, it doubled to 1,600. Annually, numbers increase. They understate the problems severity. Cancer and birth defect rates are likely much higher. Reporting falls short of whats needed. Iraqs a cauldron of disease, malformed newborns, pain, suffering, misery, deaths and despair. Daily violence, extreme poverty and unemployment, malnutrition, repression, dysfunctional infrastructure, permanent occupation, and other imperial priorities compound other problems. Media scoundrels dont explain. US ones hail an Iraq success story. In August 2008, The New York Times called Iraq a remarkably safer place than it was when Petraeus arrived. Violence plummeted significantly. Streets are flourishing with life. The worst, for now, has been averted. Americas toxic legacy was ignored. Violence then was more than acknowledged. Today its out-of-control. Resource theft, ecocide, human misery, and health crisis conditions go unreported. News most fit to print is suppressed. Official fabrications substitute. Its standard scoundrel media practice. Most Americans dont know whats been done in their name. Its true in all US war theaters. They dont ask. Theyre not told. It happens every time.

1	Faced with ongoing budget crises, underfunded schools nationwide are increasingly left with no option but to cut the past tensea grammatical construction traditionally used to relate all actions, and states that have transpired at an earlier point in timefrom their standard English and language arts programs. A part of American school curricula for more than 200 years, the past tense was deemed by school administrators to be too expensive to keep in primary and secondary education. This was by no means an easy decision, but teaching our students how to conjugate verbs in a way that would allow them to describe events that have already occurred is a luxury that we can no longer afford, Phoenix-area high-school principal Sam Pennock said. With our current budget, the past tense must unfortunately become a thing of the past. In the most dramatic display of the new trend yet, the Tennessee Department of Education decided Monday to remove -ed endings from all of the states English classrooms, saving struggling schools an estimated $3 million each year. Officials say they plan to slowly phase out the tense by first eliminating the past perfect; once students have adjusted to the change, the past progressive, the past continuous, the past perfect progressive, and the simple past will be cut. Hundreds of school districts across the country are expected to follow suit. This is the end of an era, said Alicia Reynolds, a school district director in Tuscaloosa, AL. For some, reading and writing about things not immediately taking place was almost as much a part of school as history class and social studies. That is, until we were forced to drop history class and social studies a couple of months ago, Reynolds added. Nevertheless, a number of educators are coming out against the cuts, claiming that the embattled verb tense, while outmoded, still plays an important role in the development of todays youth. Much like art and music, the past tense provides students with a unique and consistent outlet for self-expression, South Boston English teacher David Floen said. Without it I fear many of our students will lack a number of important creative skills. Like being able to describe anything that happened earlier in the day. Despite concerns that cutting the past-tense will prevent graduates from communicating effectively in the workplace, the home, the grocery store, church, and various other public spaces, a number of lawmakers, such as Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, have welcomed the cuts as proof that the American school system is taking a more forward-thinking approach to education. Our tax dollars should be spent preparing our children for the future, not for what has already happened, Hatch said at a recent press conference. Its about time we stopped wasting everyones time with who did what or went where. The past tense is, by definition, outdated. Said Hatch, I cant even remember the last time I had to use it. Past-tense instruction is only the latest school program to face the chopping block. School districts in California have been forced to cut addition and subtraction from their math departments, while nearly all high schools have reduced foreign language courses to only the most basic phrases, including May I please use the bathroom? and No, I do not want to go to the beach with Maria and Juan. Some legislators are even calling for an end to teaching grammar itself, saying that in many inner-city school districts, where funding is most lacking, students rarely use grammar at all. Regardless of the recent upheaval, students throughout the country are learning to accept, and even embrace, the change to their curriculum. At first I think the decision to drop the past tense from class is ridiculous, and I feel very upset by it, said David Keller, a seventh-grade student at Hampstead School in Fort Meyers, FL. But now, its almost like it never happens. 
1	Historians and scholars nationwide heralded the discovery of a children's menu on the back of one of the four original charters of the U.S. Constitution, Archivist of the United States John Carlin said Monday. Tourists line up to view the newly discovered children's menu. The U.S. Constitution And Children's Menu, originally drawn up at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787, is housed at the National Archives Building. The menuon the back of Article I, which establishes a bicameral Congress comprising the Senate and the House of Representativesprovides dining options for children under 7. 'In this discovery, we see yet another example of the wisdom of our founding fathers,' Carlin said. 'While establishing a government that honors both the rights of the individuals and the unity of the nation, they also recognized the need for fun-to-eat, affordable dining options for the nation's youngest Americans.' Until now, scholars had focused on the elegant calligraphy on the Constitution's front, entirely overlooking the reverse side, which features two columns of fancifully named menu items, such as Yankee Doodle Macaroni, Jumpin' Johnnycakes, and Eagle Fingers. 'The wording of the Constitution is general, necessitating interpretation, and the same can be said for its children's menu,' Carlin said. 'We do not know exactly what the framers of the Constitution meant by 'Eagle Fingers.' Strict constructionists are likely to assume that they were strips of eagle flesh fried in batter, but loose constructionists might argue that the term was an amusing way to encourage children to eat their chicken or grouse.' Other dishes found by researchers include Bloody Great Blood Pudding, Cheese Betwixt Two Slices Of Bread, and Mother Goose. The menu is offered 'for children of weaning age until seven years.' 'The menu reflects the relative brevity of childhood more than two centuries ago,' Carlin said. 'Contemporary children's menus are generally offered to children of up to 12 years of age.' The menu. Near the bottom of the document, a waxy, bluish spot almost obscures a line drawing of a man with a peg-leg. 'We believe the caricature could be Gouverneur Morris of Pennsylvania, who wore a wooden legbut it might just be a pirate,' Carlin said. 'Whatever it is, it's strong proof that the 'Pleasant Diversions' section of the menu was used by a child, as the figure had been colored in rather inexpertly, in blue from head-to-foot.' Near the stain is a small maze leading statesman and Constitution-signer Benjamin Franklin to a lightning-struck kite. To the right of this is the earliest-known example of a word-find, containing the names of Revolutionary War-era battleships. So far, no adult menu has been found. 'What did the original framers intend [by this menu]?' constitutional historian Robert Lipscomb-Blaine asked. 'Why was children's cuisine important to them, when America's fate was still unknown? In the spirit of compromise that defined the Constitutional Convention itself, was serving food to children a way to distract the young'uns while their elders concentrated on creating a system of representative national government?' Next month, the U.S. Constitution And Children's Menu will be removed from public view for several weeks to undergo further study. In the interim, the National Archives will display the Constitution's predecessor, the Articles Of Confederation And Personal Advertisements. 
1	Astronomers analyzing the first images captured by the new Hubble Space Kaleidoscope, which went online Tuesday, announced that they've acquired the first concrete evidence that the universe is in a constant state of total weirdness. 'With their unprecedented resolution, the latest images from the new kaleidoscope reveal that space, once thought to be isotropic, is actually continuously expanding, unfolding, and rearranging in a series of freaky patterns,' said astronomer Douglas Stetler, head of the Space Kaleidoscope Science Institute in Baltimore. 'It's an exciting time for the field of astrokaleidoscopics, or anyone interested in the vast, wacked-out nature of space.' Hubble Kaleidoscope At $200 billion, the HSK, as scientists designate it, is the most expensive kaleidoscope ever built. Orbiting 300 miles above the Earth, the high-powered, 12-ton optical device has revealed unexpected discoveries at the farthest reaches of the universe, including a multitude of brilliantly colored interlocking and rotating diamond things never before observed by scientists. HSK features three fine-guidance optical control sensors, a wide field and planetary camera, a faint object spectrograph, and three primary rectangular plane mirrors inside a rotating 30-meter titanium tube. The object chamber, located on the end that gathers and focuses incoming light from the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum as well as the infrared and ultraviolet continua, is filled with 10,000 pounds of marbles, costume jewelry, beads, and the largest bits of colored glass ever produced. 'This new data will forever change how we look at the cosmos,' said Stetler, who admitted he was 'amazed' to learn that all galaxies rotate in a counterclockwise direction and never look the same way twice. 'Before this, we couldn't even see the Lagoon Nebula, but now we are capable of detecting up to 254 constantly changing fractal versions of it at once. The further we probe the depths of space, the better we might understand just how vastly bonkers it looks.' Construction of the Hubble Space Kaleidoscope involved incredible technical challenges. According to NASA head engineer Nathan Howard, assembling components for the object chamber was particularly exacting, since it was necessary to create baubles that would still remain pretty despite the harsh environment of space. The project also faced controversy over fears that the device would be unable to record the continuously changing symmetrical forms of solar masses, after early calculations predicted that the $898 million in trinkets would not tumble properly in a zero-gravity environment. 'Despite those setbacks, the project is an unqualified success,' Howard said. 'The completed Hubble Kaleidoscope allows researchers to view the sharpest, most refracted displays of light, color, and shape to date.' Looking at a kaleidoscopic image of a dwarf star, Howard added, 'Oooooo!' Unlike the Hubble Telescope, which has allowed astronomers to view remote objects millions of light years away, the orbital kaleidoscopic observatory has taken humankind's knowledge of the cosmos one step further: Scientists now have access to clear images of the multicolored polygons and sparkling glitter now believed to cover up to 99.999 percent of the known universe. The new data have challenged nearly every assumption about astrophysical phenomena. 'When we trained the powerful kaleidoscope lens on the massive eye of Jupiter, we expected to see a swirling behemoth of red and orange gas,' said Dr. Mae Ling-Turlington, who works at the observatory. 'What we found instead was a dazzling hexagonal array of variegated prismatic configurations, changing our very understanding of the atmospheric patterns there on the solar system's spikiest-looking planet.' Their findings are so startling, in fact, that kaleidoscopists are calling for standard models of the structure of the universe to be revamped. According to the new data, the so-called asteroid 'belt' is actually an asteroid squiggle; and Mars is only red 'some of the time,' vacillating between purplish-blue, orange, and turquoise with specks of green as it moves along its six separate orbits around the sun. Despite excitement over the discovery that space is all crazy-looking, a number of legislators have threatened to cut funding for NASA's kaleidoscopic program. An outspoken critic of the agency, Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) said she hopes NASA scientists don't just use the kaleidoscope a few times and then lose interest and never touch it again, like they did with the Brookhaven Neutrino Spirograph, Fermilab's Particle Slingshot, and the Very Large Slip 'n Slide Array in New Mexico. 
1	In an unprecedented breach of national security, Pope Benedict XVI, leader of the international organization known as 'the Roman Catholic Church,' has infiltrated the highest levels of the U.S. government and devised a wide-ranging plan to destroy the entire country. The White House, Yankee Stadium, and Ground Zero are likely targets. Using recently uncovered information, shocked intelligence analysts have determined that the religious extremist's recent tour of the nation was in fact a reconnaissance mission designed to exploit essential weaknesses in our country's defenses and expose them to mass destruction. 'He had full access to everythingthe White House, the National Cathedral, everything,' said CIA director Michael Hayden, who reportedly has already tendered his resignation over the massive security failure. 'By carrying out this espionage under the subterfuge of a goodwill mission of Christian charity, the pope was able to gain access to sensitive information never before obtained by a hostile foreign power. The president himself shook his hand, prayed with him.' 'This is the most devastating failure of American intelligence imaginable,' Hayden added. 'We are completely helpless.' 'The religious extremist was even observed walking through the halls of the White House. It's a terrifying breach in security.' &#8211;<b>CIA Director, Michael Hayden</b> Twenty-seven separate federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies participated in security measures for His Holiness' visit to Washington and New York. All are now considered compromised. According to event coordinators, the pope made repeated inquiries about areas of vulnerability during his tour, asking about the seating capacity and locations of emergency exits at Yankee Stadium, the civilian populations of the Washington, D.C. metro area, and the water-supply system of the Eastern Seaboard. And in what many believe to be a related incident, a blueprint of New York's proposed Freedom Tower was reported missing the day after the pope's visit. The CIA briefing details how a number of officialsincluding President George W. Bushunwittingly gave up classified documents and information to the visiting pope, simply because he asked politely. During these seemingly benign conversations, officials said, the pontiff listened carefully, took notes, and was seen tapping on walls during tours of historic sites as if checking for structural weaknesses. 'We normally do not allow anyone to view top secret documents, but with the miter and the robe and everything, it was difficult to say no,' said one Department of Energy official, who allowed Benedict to view plans for a proposed warhead delivery system, and detailed maps of the nation's nuclear power plants. 'He said he wanted to bless the documents, which he did. Unfortunately, we now believe that the ring he wears is a miniaturized digital camera.' Pope Benedict XVI gives a hand signal to hidden operatives after infiltrating White House security to meet with President George W. Bush. U.S. intelligence reportedly began to uncover the plot after routine monitoring of papal chatter in Vatican Citythe heavily fortified city-state ruled by the pope and his minions, from which the infallible religious leader operates with diplomatic immunitypicked up the phrase 'holy mission to blow up the United States' sometime around April 21. According to a cardinal speaking on condition of anonymity, the popular religious extremist has been planning the destruction of America for decades. His plot includes coordinated attacks on multiple fronts, using explosives, poison gas, and some unknown weaponized biological agents referred to in Vatican parlance by the code name 'plague of locusts.' The State Department's counterterrorism division has estimated that death tolls from the planned attacks could reach 150,000. On Monday, the CIA released an audio recording of several voices believed to be those of high-ranking Vatican operatives. The tape reportedly contains numerous references to 'the coming day of God's wrath against the Americans' and makes mention of several major landmarks, all in highly populated urban areas, as potential targets. Chillingly, the recording concludes with the phrase 'May God bless America,' followed by what is being called a 'throaty, maniacal' laugh that experts have identified as the pontiff's. 'The pope has one billion followers all around the world who are ready to do his bidding in whatever grim and deadly schemes he may devise,' CIA Director Michael Hayden said. 'I cannot imagine a more formidable enemy. Lord, have mercy on our souls in the terrifying, tragic weeks to come.'

2	MSNBC Brian Williams Uses Orlando Shooting To Mock Republicans, Immediately Gets Hit With... While the nation was devastated by one of the worst domestic mass shootings in history, the so-called No. 1 anchor of MSNBC found it an appropriate time to joke about politics. On Sunday, Brian Williams was interviewing former Sen. Mel Martinez, R-Fla. when he suddenly changed direction. Senator, Im listening to your politics and wondering what branch of the Republican Party youre in these days and can you find it with a flashlight? Williams asked. Martinez was clearly shocked by Williams comment, but he did not back down. My goodness, Brian, I was hoping we werent going to talk about that tonight, he replied. Thats a difficult one for me. Sorry, I have to, Williams pushed. Look, the fact is that, you know, we have a great country, Martinez responded. I am an immigrant of this nation and I live in love of this land and what it stands for. Days like today just break your heart. We can never forget the greatness of this nation and the ability of people to come together. When you see 600 people standing in line to donate blood when the call went out that it was needed, thats the American that I love and regardless of the Rs ad Ds, thats the American I hope we all pull for and will prevail out of these horrible events. Williams then passed coverage back to anchor Kelly ODonnell. Moments later, Williams had to take to the air to apologize. As we said and with apologies with the look at the inevitable politics of even a national tragedy given that we are in a political season, but the words right below us there, Deadliest Mass Shooting in American History, Williams commented. That is the conversation tonight. Thats the story were covering tonight. The tragedy we all woke up to the morning. Our coverage will continue after a break. Its serious. Its tragic, and certainly not the time to offer quips about the current state of the Republican Party, wrote Matt Vespa on Town Hall. Williams joke obviously didnt sit welland it shouldnt. Watch the footage below and tell us what you think. 
1	Russia's economic woes continued Tuesday, when a belligerent Boris Yeltsin was forcibly ejected from a Detroit-area check-cashing service after his attempt to cash a $375 personal check drawn on a Moscow bank was denied. Security guard Dale Hobson escorts Russian President Boris Yeltsin from the premises of a Detroit-area Check 'N' Cash store. Yeltsin was asked to leave after becoming hostile and verbally abusive over a refused check. '[Yeltsin] came in here around 10 p.m., looking to cash a check,' said Duane Simmons, night manager of the Mack Avenue Check 'N' Cash where the incident occurred. 'So while he's filling out the forms, I check the list we have taped up behind the register, and guess what? The guy's name is there under both Boris Yeltsin and Yeltsin, Boris. And they're both underlined about five times, because, apparently, he owes like $4.3 billion in overdue loans to the International Monetary Fund. So I had to tell him no.' According to witnesses, Yeltsin refused to leave the window, insisting that his check was good. Over the course of the 10-minute conversation that ensued, the Russian president became increasingly hostile toward Simmons, verbally abusing him for not accepting the $375 check, which he claimed was backed by, alternately, Russian grain futures, the United Nations and his boss at Moscow Video Rental. When Simmons suggested that Yeltsin try another check-cashing service in the area, the Russian president became enraged, pounding on the bulletproof glass and threatening to deploy nuclear missiles to the store. At that point, Simmons called security guard Dale Hobson for assistance. 'When I got there, the guy's face was bright red, and he was pointing at Duane and shouting in what sounded like Russian,' Hobson said of Yeltsin. 'He had already knocked over a cardboard phone-card display and was trying to tear one of the chained-up ballpoint pens from the counter.' Hobson escorted the irate Yeltsin out of the store, informing him that if he touched the store window, stood in the doorway or even walked past on the sidewalk, it would be considered trespassing, and the police would be called. A store surveillance camera shows Yeltsin trying to cash check. The Russian president left the area, but he returned approximately 30 minutes later with a check he claimed was for less money. Simmons, who was still at the counter, refused to let Yeltsin into the store or look at the check. 'He said, 'Please, I apologize greatly. My people need this money,'' Simmons said. 'So I was like, 'Well, maybe you should have thought of that before you fired [former minister of international financial negotiations] Anatoli Chubais, sucka.'' Yeltsin then loitered in the parking lot for another hour, approaching numerous Check 'N' Cash customers, none of whom would take the check inside. 'I could have called the police, but I felt sorry for the old man,' Simmons said. 'A lot of those guys on the 'do not accept' list are in legal trouble for other stuff, like failure to pay child support. I didn't want to cause any more trouble for him.' No charges were filed against Yeltsin. News of the check refusal swept quickly through Russian political circles, providing fuel for Yeltsin's many adversaries in parliament. 'Once again, President Yeltsin has proven himself to be an incompetent, ineffectual leader whose misguided plan for Western-style economic reform is doomed,' said Gennadi Seleznyov, leader of the Duma's sizable anti-Yeltsin communist faction. 'If not for Yeltsin and his disastrous privatization policies, Russia could have easily gotten that check cashed.' Even acting Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin, second in command to Yeltsin, expressed a lack of surprise over the incident. 'I told Boris not to go when that Simmons guy was working,' Chernomyrdin said. 'That guy's a real hard-ass. That fat red-headed girl on the day shift never checks the list.' Yeltsin was unavailable for comment. 
2	What Hercules Actor Just Called Ferguson Rioters Is Outraging Liberals Kevin Sorbo, the actor know for his roles on the TV series Hercules: the Legendary Journeys, as well as movies Soul Surfer and Gods Not Dead, is about to be known for something else by the liberl community: his comments about the protestors in Ferguson. According to reports, the conservative Christian Hollywood actor called rioters animals and losers telling reporters that no has the right to burn peoples property or attack other people when something like this happens. Now, the liberal community is labeling Sorbo a racist, and he has started facing backlash from the liberal media. Ferguson riots have very little to do with the shooting of the young man. It is an excuse to be the losers these animals truly are, Sorbo wrote on his Facebook page. What do you think of Sorbos comments? Is he racist or just telling it like it is? 
1	Walter Salinger, 38, a U.S postal employee who often compared himself to the cantankerous yet brilliant titular character from the Fox medical drama House, was recently fired for insubordinate behavior, coworkers reported Tuesday. 'He was either outright rude to customers or avoided them completely,' said letter carrier Lyle Davis, whom Salinger often referred to as one of his 'team,' even though both men hold the same title. 'Walter was a mailman, for Christ's sake. Who cares if 'everyone lies' about parcel dimensions? It's not like he ever saved anyone's life.' Though Salinger was generally disliked at his place of employment, station manager Nate Cranston said the branch would continue to make use of the brainstorming whiteboard Salinger brought in to prevent dead letters. 
1	After Republican lawmakers reached a last-minute agreement Wednesday night to end the government shutdown and raise the debt ceiling, sources confirmed today that the GOP yielded its fight against Obamacare mere moments before the president was about to cave and repeal the entire law. Whew! That was a close one, President Obama told reporters, admitting that literally seconds before he would have put pen to paper on an executive order to fully defund and eliminate the Affordable Care Act, he received a phone call informing him that House Speaker John Boehner had agreed to back down from the shutdown stalemate. The GOP really had our backs up against the wall on this one, and to be honest I was definitely about to blink first. I sure as hell didnt want to be the president who oversaw the first default in our countrys history, and I thought the Republicans knew that. If they would have just held out a little longerIm talking two, three secondsthey would have gotten everything they wanted. They seriously held all the cards here. The president said that if House Republicans threaten to use the same tactics with the debt ceiling this February, hell probably just repeal Obamacare immediately. 
1	With a wide-ranging knowledge of both domestic and foreign issues, unflappable composure, and an uncanny ability to reach across the aisle in these divided times, 42-year-old David Johnson would be this generation's greatest president if he didn't have disturbingly askew eyebrows. 'On paper, he's got it all,' ABC News correspondent George Stephanopoulos said of Johnson, who is an undeniably powerful and engaging speaker. 'But those eyebrowsChrist, one is way too bushy, and the other is just all over the place.' According to Stephanopoulos, Americans will instead elect the president they deservea superficial, eager-to-please, spineless person with immaculately groomed hair above his eyes. 
1	Describing it as an increasingly popular option for those seeking to start a family, a report released Wednesday by the University of Washington found that a growing number of couples are choosing to use a surrogate to have and raise their baby. According to our research, more and more couples are seeking out surrogates to carry their child to birth and then to continue looking after it from infancy through adolescence, said lead researcher Megan Tooley, adding that many parents look for a non-smoking, non-drinking surrogate who is in good health and who also possesses positive values and personality traits that can be instilled in their child over the next 18 years. Parents will often spend considerable time vetting a surrogacy candidates age, lifestyle, genetic predisposition to disease, complications during previous pregnancies, finances, place of residence, disciplinary style, and school district. Once theyve made a selection, theyll typically check in with their surrogate at key points throughout the pregnancy, birth, and childhood until their son or daughter has grown into a young adult. Tooley went on to note that in many cases, surrogates often become too attached to the child and have difficulties giving it up after carrying it to term, raising it, and then sending it off to college. 
2	The Queen Of England Just Humiliated Obama For The Whole World To See Adding to his endless series of trips, Obama will be visiting England next month. The Queen has refused to travel to London to meet our President. Instead, he will travel to Windsor to stand alongside the Prime Minister in an attempt to urge Britain to stay in the EU. But hed be well advised not to give a pro-EU sermon over lunch after the row about the Queen supporting Brexit, one source told reporters. The move, which clearly reflects the declining opinion of Obama internationally, will require Obama to travel with his entire security team in what is likely to be an extravagant fleet. What do you think? Is it time for us to have a real leader in the White House? We need to rebuild our relationships with foreign leaders before it is too late. 
1	Expressing his belief that a new future for the troubled region was within reach, President Obama unveiled his strategy Monday for attaining lasting peace talks in the Middle East. Under this framework, Im confident we can usher in a new era of meetings and dialogue that will last for generations to come, Obama told reporters, adding that the comprehensive plan would rely on a broad international coalition to ensure that both Israelis and Palestinians adhered to the strict terms of attending occasional summits and sitting across tables from one another. As long as all parties make firm commitments to the process, we believe that our efforts will lead to stable, ongoing discussions about this conflict that could continue indefinitely. Real, enduring peace talks in the region are closer than theyve ever been. Obama later admitted that the deal was largely contingent upon the willingness of leaders from both sides to shake hands in a heavily staged photo op on a regular basis over the next 100 years. 
3	Climate Change: Is the Carbon Tax the Death of Democracy?Kate Johnston, Contributor It is now evident that the science behind man-made global warming that dictates government policy is false, manipulated and corrupt and exists solely to meet a pre-determined political agenda whilst attempting to pass it off as credible science. Central to this article is the role of the United Nations. Their treaties, summits and bodies have been responsible for providing the framework and political will that has moved the environmental movement to where it is today. This article seeks to go into more depth into current day science, which overwhelmingly suggests that global warming is not caused by human Carbon Dioxide emissions. Furthermore, I will outline the role of key players on the international stage that have worked tirelessly to convince us otherwise. Finally, I will begin to look in more depth at what the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) is and where it actually originated. As the article progresses it will become clearer that the Carbon Tax and Emissions Trading Scheme do absolutely nothing for the environment. Given this is the pretext used by governments for introducing carbon economy, I will attempt to convey some deeper social, political and economic influences at work here. In doing so, I hope to assist in understanding the reasons why we are moving towards a carbon economy and how this global movement abolishes our inalienable rights as human beings and basic freedoms most of which many of us take for granted. The United Nation Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (UNIPCC) According to the UN IPCCs website The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for the assessment of climate change. It was established by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) to provide the world with a clear scientific view on the current state of knowledge in climate change and its potential environmental and socio-economic impacts. Despite its global dominance, overwhelming evidence suggests that these powerful assessment reports that dictate policy and are directly responsible for the introduction of the Carbon Tax are false and full of misinformation. How is it that such a powerful tool as the United Nations with immense influence over world governments was able to progress so far in an agenda that was based on lies? Key Players One name that constantly comes up in regards to the global environmental movement (Climate Change Industry) is Maurice Strong. Strong has been driving the climate change bandwagon since its origins back in the 70s. Having made his fortune in oil, Maurice became very involved with the United Nations and headed many programs and summits on climate change. Maurice Strong fled to China in 2006 after being implicated in a million dollar bribe to himself involving the Oil for Food Program. He has been there ever since and is still very active in the environmental movement and Chinese politics. To further understand how we got ourselves to where we are today, we have to understand where the myth of man-made global warming really gained traction. Al Gores book and documentary An Inconvenient Truth was a hit worldwide, it even received not one but two Oscars! Reminds me of when Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize what a joke! Al Gores An Inconvenient Truth, was highly successful in instilling fear around the world that imminent climate cataclysmic events would soon follow all because of human-produced Carbon Dioxide. The documentary spread like wildfire and found its way into classrooms across America. The fate of humanity was sealed; disaster would fall upon us and entire cities would be under water, unless we acted now. So what else do these two powerful men have in common besides being strong proponents behind the environmental movement? Its called The Chicago Climate Exchange, and it is North Americas sole carbon exchange centre (think stock market). Yes, thats right, these men are raking in massive profits from the global Emissions Trading Scheme. Conflict of interest? I think so! The same men that sold us the myth of man-made global warming are the same men that sold us the solution of a Carbon Tax and Emissions Trading Scheme and now theyre profiting off their lucrative investments which are based on lies. Dr. Vincent Gray senior climate skeptic and UN IPCC expert reviewer Dr. Vincent Gray is an internationally eminent retired scientist with a Phd in Chemistry from Cambridge, who enjoyed a long career as a coal industry researcher before spending the last 22 years of his life in climate science. He lives off his pension and receives no funding for his climate research work, hence his interest in the climate debate is not influenced by any financial ties or interests. He has published hundreds of scientific papers spanning many topics with several on climate appearing in peer-reviewed publications. But due to the institutional corruption and politicisation surrounding the Climate Change debate, much of his work is censored. He also authored two books; The Climate Change Delusion and Confessions of a Climate Skeptic. Dr Vincent Gray is an expert reviewer of all four UN IPCC assessment reports and is responsible for thousands of comments on the reports most of which were ignored. The blatant disregard of contrary scientific findings by the UN IPCC conveys the UN IPCC political agenda at the expense of the science. Dr Vincent Grays comments were not peer-reviewed; an essential method used in the science world to ensure consensus and accurate scientific findings. In an interview with Dr. Vincent Gray, I asked him about the UN IPCCs credibility and track record. The 1992 Rio Conference endorsed a legally binding definition of Climate Change that the climate is largely controlled by human-produced trace gases. They wished to show that the globe is warming, but this cannot be done as it is impossible to measure the average temperature of the earth. I delved further, questioning the system that governs the Climate Change Industry where Dr Vincent provided some further interesting insight. The whole system is supported, supervised and financed by the governments who signed the Framework Convention on Climate Change. They intimidated editors of scientific journals to control the peer review process in their favour. They took control of many university departments, National science organisations and media outlets. People who tell the truth are intimidated. Dr Vincents comments on the UN IPCC reports conveys the inherent institutional corruption that occurred, which allowed inaccurate science of man-made global warming to infiltrate societys perceptions, thus forming the foundation of government policy. The next section of this article will be concerned with the science underpinning man-made global warming, specifically human Carbon Dioxide emissions and whether or not humans are responsible for a rise in temperatures, Global Warming and/or Climate Change. This key point is at the heart of the entire debate because it is on this false and misleading science that a global re-structuring of the economy, politics and society as we know it is occurring. So if the science that justifies the Carbon Tax, Emissions Trading Scheme and other massive global transformations are in fact based on lies, wouldnt you like to know? Firstly, the world hasnt actually been warming since 1998, its been cooling. This explains why Global Warming has been re-branded as Climate Change. UN IPCCs underpinning science purports that a rise in man-made Carbon Dioxide emissions is responsible for a rise in temperature, but this simply isnt true. It is the other way around. It is temperatures that dictate Carbon Dioxide levels. Dr. Tim Ball a prominent speaker on Climate change and climate skeptic outlines this in a radio interview with Alan Jones. UN IPCC temperature data, from which their conclusions on man-made global warming are drawn, is fundamentally flawed for several reasons. The data is taken from weather stations around the world and then assembled into computer models which frame our understanding of Global Warming today. Yet in 1990, when over 6000 weather stations worldwide were being used, three quarters dropped out which left a clear bias towards warmer temperature recordings from the remaining active weather stations. This suggests that the recent warming that we know of is connected to the methods of recording and not an actual increase in temperature. More details about how this crucial data is flawed can be found within this report from Science and Public Policy. Dr. Vincent Courtillot, Professor of Geophysics at University Paris Diderot formed a research group with other established scientists from around Europe to determine the cause of temperature fluctuation. After requesting UN IPCCs data that forms their theory of man-made Global Warming, he was denied, therefore he and his group had to re-collate the data independently. His research found that temperature change is determined solely by Solar activity. Yes, thats right the sun dictates temperature, not Carbon Dioxide levels of which humans have a minuscule influence compared to what is produced naturally by nature. Their scientific findings are well documented and can be viewed here. And what about the global rise in sea levels devastating coastal cities around the world? Well science around the world shows no change in Global Sea levels, with Tidal Gauge stations recording an average of 18cm Global Sea Level Rise every century with no variation recorded during increased temperatures. Thats 1.8mm a year. This information can be viewed from a joint report by the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change A consortium of independent scientists established to analyse published and peer-reviewed literature available on global warming from around the world producing a report that directly responds to the UN IPCCs reports. Another excellent research paper on sea level rise around the world can be viewed here. A group of 1000 international Scientists who dissent and disagree with man-made global warming speak out in the Climate Depot Report. One scientist, Dr. LeonardWeinstein who worked 35 years at the NASA Langley Research Center said:Any reasonable scientific analysis must conclude the basic theory wrong!! The information is available for anyone to read. We have been lied to. Global Warming is a scam. But why has the United Nations gone to such great lengths to have us believe otherwise? Is an Emissions Trading Scheme so important? Or is there something else going on? The Carbon Tax and Emissions Trading Scheme The initial step of the Carbon Tax in the move towards a Carbon Economy is underway. If left unchallenged, the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) will be introduced in 2015, paving the way for the new Global Carbon Economy. This integrated global economic system is based on trading and control of carbon emissions. This is how it works; companies are designated with an amount of carbon credits in line with the governments cap of carbon emissions that theyre allowed to emit. Companies that emit less are left with carbon credits which can be sold for a profit. Alternatively, if they use all their credits they purchase more carbon credits from companies around the world on the carbon exchange market. The idea is to give an economic incentive to polluters to reduce their carbon footprint. As the world moves closer to their goal of reducing emissions as outlined at the United Nations Kyoto protocol, we are told that we are helping the environment by limiting pollution. But again, the incentive for polluters only occurs if it is profitable. There is much criticism about the effectiveness of this system where it is currently implemented in Europe and has nothing short of failed. Fraud and corruption are rife and emissions have not yet been reduced and even if they were it wouldnt actually have any effect on the climate change anyway! Eventually the Emissions Trading Scheme and carbon credits will be transferred to individuals in the form of a carbon card, much like a credit card we use today only it is for our energy consumption. Individuals will be designated with an annual carbon allowance to meet their energy, fuel and travel needs. The concept remains the same as the Emissions Trading Scheme, only the individual is designated carbon credits to be exchanged on the Carbon Stock Exchange markets. Plans in the UK for the carbon trading credit cards are well underway and will follow around the world soon enough. As nations attempt to meet their emission reduction goals, individual carbon allowances will also be capped and decrease over time. This system of carbon trading and carbon economy is in the hands of the major banks such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan. Personally, I dont feel too good about handing over the reins of control of many aspects of my life to be regulated by banks and governments. How do you feel about that? Social Transformation As we slowly move into a carbon currency, we replace our current price-based system with one that deals with energy, which will essentially lead to a cashless society. We are already seeing this happening voluntarily around the world. As people increasingly start to use their credit cards for all their transactions, money in circulation will eventually be replaced with purely electronic transactions and energy allowances or individual carbon credits. This was on the Bilderberg 2012s Agenda with the move towards electronic I.D. cards already happening an essential step towards a cashless society. Every detail about us is recorded on these cards through microchip technology. But, keep in mind, individuals in a cashless society hand over all their rights to the governments and banks that control the system. Another worrying aspect of the environmental movement in the name of saving the planet is the United Nations Agenda 21 for Sustainable Development, adopted by more than 178 governments around the world at the United Nations Rio Earth Summit in 1992. Agenda 21 is a detailed global action plan already adopted and being implemented by governments around the world which openly calls for population reduction, abolition of property rights and a complete re-structuring of populations around the world into high-volume smart cities. This is not a joke; it is a United Nations international treaty and a working document that governments are already implementing on both national and local level. I will dedicate an entire article to this issue in the coming weeks. But probably of most interest about the Emissions Trading Scheme and the move towards a carbon economy is its startling parallels with Technocracy. Technocracy is a social movement and alternative political system that gained quite a bit of traction in the US in the 1930s during the Great Depression. It is a social, economic and political system based on individuals energy consumption and is controlled wholly by experts and scientists not elected leaders like the system we live in today. Instead of people being rewarded with money for their work, they would be given energy allowances. One key aspect of Technocracy is the Energy Distribution Card. Sound familiar? Well it should, the idea is being rolled out around the world now all in the name of fighting man-made Global Warming, yet the idea originated long before man-made global warming even existed. Are we moving towards a Technocratic society? Central to Technocracy is a system that allows for the measurement of energy consumption of both individuals and households. The political system cannot be implemented otherwise. This may sound familiar to some of you as the Smart Grid and Smart Meters currently being rolled out around the world. This technology is being hooked up to households around the world and infrastructure is being designed that will allow Smart Grids to be integrated into a much larger global system of measuring energy production and consumption. A brilliant question has been posed by Patrick Wood:Who is orchestrating this? So now what? All of the solutions I have outlined in this article are being sold to the world via media and education in the name of saving the environment. But the very same entities responsible for creating the solutions are the ones responsible for the problem to begin with and pose a serious threat towards truly sustainable solutions. The state of technology and resources existing today to transform our society towards a truly sustainable global community are infinite. All that stands in our way are the political, economic and social systems currently in place. But we must remember that they only exist because we allow them too. One way or another a fundamental transformation of our global society is underway. The only question we need ask ourselves is do we want to be a part of the alternative and co-create a sustainable global community together? Or do we want to let the bankers, politicians and technocrats do it for us under the guise of sustainability whilst moving towards a world where all aspects of our lives are governed and controlled. Freedom as we know it will no longer exist, and along with our freedom will go the mechanisms that are now available to us to protect it. Things are moving fast, faster than we can comprehend. Its time to make your choice. By doing nothing, you are complicit to their plan. By remaining indifferent you allow this repressive and controlling global system to be built right in front of your very eyes. But by saying no, educating yourself and beginning to actively participate in opposing this system you make room for the new fair, equal and just paradigm. A world to be built by the collective, by all of us. An alternative system that we can all be proud to call our own. We dont have much time left; we must act and we must act now.

2	Race Baiting Judge Gets Hit With Immediate Justice After Attacking White Prosecutor In the past year, weve seen a significant spike in the number of people claiming that the justice system is inherently racist. Liberals and members of the media are quick to deem decisions racist, before even taking the time to educate themselves about the facts. A new report reveals that Judge Olu Stevens, a Louisville African-American judge, took things too far when he dismissed a jury because it was made up only of white people. Attorney Tom Wine, the prosecutor in the case, questioned the judges decision. Thats when Stevens decided to go on Facebook and write an angry post attacking Wine. Stevens wrote that Wine was complaining he should have had an all-white jury panel after losing a trial and suggested that something much more sinister was going on in the case. There was, of course, very little proof to back up any of those comments. Just days after the post started to go viral, Stevens received a letter from the Kentucky Judicial Conduct Commission, charging him with multiple counts of misconduct. At the beginning of the week, he was suspended from the bench for 90 days. The case in question took place in 2014. Reports indicate that only one African-American showed up for jury duty, but was later eliminated at random when there were four jurors too many. After that decision, Stevens threw out the jury entirely. As the presiding judge on the case, Stevens had a responsibility to remain impartial. It is clear that he was unable to do that in this case. Wine maintains that he was not insisting that he wanted a white jury, but rather wanted clarification on whether it was legal for a judge to throw out a jury without proving that it was somehow manipulated to be white. What do you think? Do you agree that Stevens crossed the line in this case?

And his roommate stopped him, saying the presence of the flag on the wall was a political statement that he was unwilling to make. Clearly, his roommate doesnt understand what Old Glory truly stands for. If you dont appreciate the values and freedoms of our country, youre welcome to go elsewhere. 
2	Supreme Courts New Announcement: This Could End Obamacare According to recent reports, the Supreme Court made an announcement that could signify the end of Obamacare. The court justices are reportedly considering the King v. Burwell case in the matter, that challenges the governments legal authority to subsidize policies on the federal Obamacare exchange. According to reports from TPNN, when Obamacare was written the language solely authorized the federal government to subsidize, or redistribute health care from those who have it, to those who dont. The language covered only state-established Obamacare exchanges. The report notes that there was no provision established to allow subsidies from the federal exchange. Further, the article argues that those who were writing the bill thought the Obama administration would be able to convince each state to establish their own health care exchange. This has not been the case. In fact, only sixteen states have set up their own Obamacare exchanges. The remaining 34 have declined. What do you think? Should Obamacare be taken down immediately? 
3	Just Because They Can: Man Blew 0.00 on Breath Test, Cops Charged Him with DWI AnywayKimberly Paxton It took over a year for the charges against Larry Davis to be dropped, despite his voluntary roadside breath test and despite the blood test that also cleared him of not only alcohol, but 7 other drugs. Davis had been pulled over for running a stop sign. As ridiculous as this case sounds, it is far from the first time this has happened in Austin. It appears to be a trend with the APD. The Defenders, a team of investigative journalists for the citys local station, KVUE, reports that the Austin PD has a track record of sending a lot of cases like this to court, where they are quickly dismissed. The Defenders first reported cases like this in a 2011 joint Austin American-Statesman investigation. One case was that of Bianca Fuentes, who blew below the legal limit of .08 in a breath test. At the time, county prosecutors were dismissing about 30 percent of drunk driving cases more than any major Texas county because they said APD was bringing them weak cases that wouldnt hold up in court. Police are still abiding by a take-no-chances policy, even if it means the cases are later thrown out. (source) As ridiculous as this incident is, its important to note that Mr. Davis or any other person unjustly accused in this fashion would need to secure an attorney, would have to miss work for court dates, preparation, and appointments, and would have this charge hanging over them, causing stress and embarrassment for the entire time. Mr. Davis and his attorney plan to file a grievance against the arresting officer now that the case has finally been dismissed, 13 months after the incident. 
2	Prime Minister Of England Publicly Humiliates Barack Obama For The Whole World According to recent reports, Barack Obama once again defended the actions of violent extremism, claiming that it isnt limited to any one faith. Barack, you are quite right, that every religion has its extremists, but we have to be frank that the biggest problem we have today is the Islamist extremist violence that has given birth to ISIL, to Al Shabaab, to Al Nusra, Al Qaeda, and so many other groups, Prime Minister David Cameron commented. We need to challenge the extremist worldview right from the start, Cameron continued. What does that mean? In Western countries it means we have to root out the extremists preachers that are poisoning the minds of young Muslims in our country, Cameron said. We have to build more integrated societies so young people feel they truly belong. And we have to make sure we dont allow the incubation of an extremist worldview even before it gets to justifying violence. Weve got to get it out of our schools. Get it out of our prisons. Get it out of our universities. I believe in freedom of speech. But freedom to hate is not the same thing. What do you think? Are you sick of Obama sitting idly by while the rest of our world leaders are determined to take action? 
2	BREAKING: Obama Moves To Censor Fox News Show Them Your Support During a summit on poverty this week, Obama decided to take a shot of Fox News for shaming the poor. Were going to have to change how the media reports on these issues, he began. I think that the effort to suggest that the poor are sponges, leeches, dont want to work, are lazy, are undeserving, got traction. And look, its still being propagated. I have to say that if you watch Fox News on a regular basis, it is a constant venue. Throughout the rest of his speech, Obama continued to talk about poverty as an issue that was close to home, rather than as a president who has actually seen poverty rates go up in the seven years that he has been president. His own background could not be farther from impoverished, especially with his attendance at Ivy League schools like Columbia and Harvard. Still, it is no secret that Obama likes to engage and manipulate the lower class in an attempt to get their support. What do you think of the presidents comments?

2	2 Little Girls Pose With Minnie Mouse At Disney World. Now Look Closely At Minnies Hands... I bet you didnt know how hard it is to be hired at Disney World, especially if you want to act as one of the iconic characters that interact children throughout the park. Not only do you have to personable and approachable, but you have to certain special skills, which allow you to interact with people of all different cultures and all different backgrounds. One recent story illustrates that fact, in a beautiful way. Disney Parks recently released a video in their Unforgettable Stories series. The story begins with Shaylee Mansfield. Both of Shaylees parents are deaf, and so is Shaylee. For Shaylees parents, things were hard. No one knew sign language except for a small percentage of deaf people who had attended a deaf school. Shaylee goes to a school where everyone can sign. She is always understood at school. But usually, when leaves the schools safety, Shaylee can become insecure that people will no longer understand her. This was the fear she had when her parents took Shaylee to Disney World for the first time. At the behest of her parents, Shaylee and her little sister pose for a photo with Minnie Mouse. But What Minnie does next is shockingly awesome! As it turns out, the woman underneath has been learning sign language in order to communicate with children just like Shaylee. Her small act of kindness toward Shaylee made her feel suddenly right at home. Watch and see how this small gesture changed Shaylees experience fully! 
2	Donald Trump Makes Massive Presidential Announcement... This Is Going To Change Everything Yesterday, President-elect Donald Trump spent his day in South Florida, working through issues in his transition to the White Housewhich also includes a new deputy national security adviser, a potential Commerce secretary, and a public battle over who will be the next Secretary of State. On Friday, Trump filled two staff slots, naming veteran Washington D.C. campaign finance attorney Don McGahn as White House counsel and Kathleen Troia McFarland as deputy national security adviser, USA Today reports. Don has a brilliant legal mind, excellent character and a deep understanding of constitutional law, Trump said in a statement about his choices. He will play a critical role in our administration and I am grateful that he is willing to serve our country at such a high-level capacity. McGahn also released a statement, saying that Trump is a bold leader committed to draining the swamp in Washington and restoring economic prosperity and security. Moving forward, McGahn will likely be at Trumps side helping him navigate possible conflicts between his presidential duties and his business interests worldwide. McFarland is a veteran national security analyst and Fox News commentator, and she will work next to National Security-Adviser-designate Michael Flynn. She has tremendous experience and innate talent that will complement the fantastic team we are assembling, which is crucial because nothing is more important than keeping our people safe, Trump noted. McFarland was an official during the Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan administrations. More recently, she has expressed her concerns about Obamas foreign policyand particularly his approach to terrorism. In her statement, McFarland said that nobody has called foreign policy right more than President-elect Trump, and he gets no credit for it. Trump is also expected to nominate billionaire investor Wilbur Ross as Secretary of Commerce, who will likely propel his campaign against existing free trade agreements. During Trumps campaign, Ross told CNBC that he backed Trump because middle-class and lower middle-class America has not really benefited by the last 10 to 15 years of economic activity and theyre sick and tired of it and they want something different. Ross is a controversial choice for Trump, with critical calling him the king of bankruptcy but that is largely due to his history of buying businesses and selling them. Trump is expected to resume his interviews of prospective appointees on Monday, USA Today reports. Dr. Ben Carson has also said he is considering an offer for Trumps cabinet as well. 
1	Officials at the Kennedy Space Center announced Tuesday that they have set Aug. 6 as the date for launching $700 million from the Denarius IV spacecraft, the largest and most expensive mission to date in NASA's unmanned monetary-ejection program. 'This is an exciting opportunity to study the effect of a hard-vacuum, zero-gravity environment on $50 and $100 bills,' said NASA Administrator Michael Griffin, who noted that prior Project Denarius missions only studied space's effect on fives and singles. 'Whether the money is immediately incinerated because of hard radiation, or freezes in the near-absolute-zero temperature and shatters into infinitesimal pieces, or drifts aimlessly through the cosmos before being sucked through a black hole into another dimension, it will provide crucial information for our next series of launches, which will consist of even greater sums of money, in larger denominations.' Denarius IV, the fourth in a series of unmanned monetary-dispersal probes, will leave Earth's atmosphere at 36,500 miles per hourthe highest velocity at which money has ever departed the planet. Said Project Denarius lead scientist Dr. Lou Weaver: 'The craft's time-release hatches, using cutting-edge ATM money-ejecting technology, will systematically discharge the currency at intervals of $50,000 every three seconds. Cameras on the craft's exterior will capture images of the bills as they majestically pirouette into the heavens, dotting the black void of space with elegant spirals of green.' Until now, the image of money floating in space was available only through artists' renderings. Far more ambitious in scope than the previous missions of $88 million, $110 million, and $375 million, Denarius IV is a two-stage spacecraft. Its solar probe, Croesus, will disengage from the main craft in October and release $12 million into the sun. The craft, with its remaining payload of $688 million, will travel across the solar system, reaching Jupiter by June 2007. Once there, it will eject the money from the cargo bay in what will be the largest single financial deployment in NASA history. 'This is just another step in our long-term goal to put $1 billion on Mars,' Weaver added. NASA is continuing to perform extensive endurance tests on portions of the $700 million, including acclimating it to extreme atmospheric pressure by deploying a sample stack of $200 million to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean; strengthening its resilience in high-temperature conditions by sealing it in airtight containers and lowering them into the lava flow of Hawaii's Mauna Loa; and replicating the high-acceleration environment of space travel by shooting bundles of dimes out of magnetic-rail accelerators at thousands of feet per second into giant axial fans. Some in the private sector are attempting their own currency-expelling spaceflights, including Virgin CEO Richard Branson, whose Virgin Galactic plans to eject 2 million from the still-theoretical SpaceShipThree orbital aircraft. Yet Griffin felt confident that NASA is far ahead of its private counterparts and rival state-run space agencies, saying that Project Denarius will be the 'jewel in the crown' of taxpayer-financed space exploration. Although polls indicate that a majority of Americans support the NASA mission, some fear a repeat of 2003's Denarius III disaster, in which hundreds of thousands of dollars burned up in Earth's atmosphere when the ship exploded shortly after leaving the launchpad. Reports suggest that one of the craft's solid-gold money clips failed during liftoff. NASA officials dismissed the risk, saying that, should the mission fail, the lost money could be replaced by any of the other stores of $700 million the agency has in reserve, and that the mission could be re-launched as early as January 2007. 
2	Texans Makes HUGE Stand Against Muslims After They Try To Invade Their Town According to recent reports, a number of Texans have decided to organize a civil revolt against the influence of Shariah law in their state and in the country. The uprising comes as a result of announcements that a Muslim Tribunal court was forming in Irving, TX. Tension has been rising in Texas for quite some time now, and the local Muslim community and government officials have been at odds. Now, that tension has reached its peak, after city government officials recent approved a bill addressing the influence of the mediation panel. Recent events have events have put me under attack and I need your help now! the mayor of Irving, Beth Van Duyne asked of the community after passing the bill. Stand with me to help me fight for conservative values and the Constitution. Van Duyne claims that she has been receiving attacks from both the liberal media and the Islamic Center in Irving. What do you think? Do you support the stand against Shariah law in our country and legal system?

''Baby I'm Amazed' may be great, but I don't know if anyone needs two different versions,' Graves said Tuesday. 'And I'm not sure anybody really liked 'Say Say Say.'' Graves, however, praised the psychedelic, Sgt. Pepper-inspired collage of McCartney photos on the CD cover and booklet as 'very creative,' and noted that 'At least the CD has one Badfinger song on it, even if it is a cover of 'Love Me Do.''

1	Organizers of the Tea Party movement, a group opposed to the federal governments attempts to alleviate the ongoing financial crisis through increased spending and taxation, announced today that their members have split down reactionary lines into those who are apoplectic in regard to the Obama administration and those who are merely enraged. This rift is absolutely irresolvable, screamed red-faced events coordinator Daniel Hume, head of the movements apoplectic faction. We believe that now is simply not the time to be irrationally furious about unprecedented economic policies that have had little more than a year to start showing any signs of effectiveness. Now is the time to be foaming-at-the-mouth, incoherently livid about them.

1	Since acquiring his BlackBerry 8703c mobile device last month, asshole Robert McClain, 29, has reported vastly increased versatility, mobility, and off-site task-reassignment efficiency. The Credit Suisse executive and total shit claimed the new technology has opened more doors and become an absolutely indispensable tool for surviving in the 'cut-throat world of high finance.' McClain never lets his personal life get in the way of productivity. 'It's amazingI can make quicker phone calls, send more e-mails, and surf the web faster than ever, without being tied down to the office,' said the prick, who feels 'disconnected from the world' if he does not have access to corporate communications for more than four minutes at any time throughout the day or night. 'And it's great for managing my schedule. Earlier today I booked a weekend flight to Vegas, set up a squash match with my buddy who works over at McKinsey, and skimmed some of [secretary] Gina [Wallach]'s e-mail requests for maternity leave, all while in line waiting for my wheatgrass shake.' McClain said he 'can't imagine' life without his BlackBerry. 'The 8703c is the state of the art in handheld mobile personal electronics,' said McClain, who last week upgraded his 42-inch plasma TV to a larger unit and installed a wall-mounted humidor in his Manhattan condo. 'It features built-in GPS turn-by-turn directions to any address, which I don't really need since I usually take cabs or limos, but still. Plus, the sleeker, slimmer design allows me to carry it in my breast pocket without ruining the line of my suit.' 'And at just $499.99, I figured I should buy a second one to keep at my place in the Hamptons, just in case,' said the Princeton grad, who also recently 'got a great deal' on a $300 digital picture frame at The Sharper Image which he loaded with photos of himself and various celebrities posing at a variety of New York nightclubs, and displayed it on his desk at work. To his surprise, McClain has also been making extensive use of the handheld's built-in speakerphone and conference-call capabilities. 'Now I don't have to stop exercising just because I have a conference call to be on,' McClain said. 'And because of the background noise-reduction filter, the other people on the call wouldn't even know I was doing some heavy cardio if I weren't so out of breath.' McClain, a douchebag, first became familiar with the BlackBerry when they were issued to all members of his group in 2002. After becoming attached to the new technology, he soon found it necessary to purchase his own unit, which he recently upgraded for the sixth time. His overall versatility has been so improved by the BlackBerry 8703c, in fact, that McClain 'can't believe [he] ever made do with a worthless piece of shit like [his previous BlackBerry model] the 7780.' 'That old monochrome screen was fucking garbage compared to this bad boy's high-resolution brilliant-color interface, which enables viewing and storage of JPG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files,' the unabashed asshole said. 'I can pan, zoom, and rotate imageswhich I plan to do more of soon, if you know what I mean.' 'Pictures of women,' he added. McClain said that thanks to the increased range and mobility offered by his BlackBerry, he is now able to assign work to junior analysts 'all weekend' while gambling at the $100-minimum blackjack tables in Atlantic City. The self-satisfied bastard also praised the wireless device's multitasking capabilities. 'It's so versatile, you can actually check e-mail while taking a call, which comes in really handy when I want to do something productive, like checking my flight reservations for a weekend in the Dominican Republic, while I'm stuck listening to my parents drone on and on about their health problems.' McClain, who attended a two-day seminar on mergers and acquisitions strategies in Boca Raton last month, maintains the most advantageous element of the BlackBerry 8703c is the way it gives him 'a leg up on the competition.' 'Knowledge is power, so having instant access to the worldwide information networks gives me the advantage I need,' McClain said. 'But in business, image matters too. So when people see me with the latest BlackBerry, and then they see [inferior colleague Brad] Tomlinson with his 6200 they recognize right away that I'm on the cutting edge and have the drive to get ahead, while he's stuck in some fucking museum exhibit from 2003.' 'What a fucking dipshit that asshole is,' McClain added. 
1	Officials from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced Tuesday they were removing 1993 inductee Van Morrison from the institution following the discovery that he had bet on record sales throughout his career. 'From 1971 to 1998, Mr. Morrison placed dozens of illegal bets on the success of his albums, sometimes wagering tens of thousands of dollars,' said Hall of Fame president Terry Stewart, adding that the Irish singer had clearly rigged The Best Of Van Morrison to garner higher sales. 'We also believe that he threw a number of albums in the 1980s.' Supporters have argued that regardless, Morrison deserves a spot in the Rock Hall based on his record-breaking streak of 4,256 consecutive shows performed without cracking a smile. 
2	BREAKING: Texas Governor Makes Epic Stand Against Obamas Martial Law According to recent reports, Texas Governor Greg Abbott just told the Texas State Guard to monitor a United States military training exercise named Jade Helm 15. The training has been taking place since July of last year in Texas and several other states throughout the U.S. but recent activity has made Americans suspicious that the exercise could lead to the implementation of martial law by the Obama administration. Abbotts orders support these suspicions, and followed a gathering of more than 200 people just 30 miles outside of Austin to express their concerns. It is important that Texans know their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed, Abbott wrote in a statement. By monitoring the operation on a continual basis, the State Guard will facilitate communications between my office and the commanders of the operation to ensure that adequate measures are in place to protect Texans. Still, some are claiming that martial law is just a conspiracy theory, with very little merit. 
2	Brad Paisley And Carrie Underwood Bow To Obama In THIS Disgusting Way Country stars Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood made quite the statement when they performed Obamacare by Morning, a satirical song intended to poke fun at the President, and highlight the fact that he doesnt care much about a very serious issue their facing. Of course, that issue was a fake disease called Post-Partum Taylor Swift Disorder, or PPTSD. The pair received mixed reviews for their performance. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
2	Obama Is Livid After Judge Trey Gowdy Absolutely Destroys Him In Court [VIDEO] Republican judge Trey Gowdy absolutely tears Obama apart in this video. He gives straight facts, and is not biased towards the Syrian Refugees like Obama is. Obamas plan to bring in thousands of Syrian Refugees is a threat to our country. He is putting millions of American lives in danger. After favoring the Syrian Refugees so heavily, it really makes you think where Obamas priorities really lie. Watch this 30 second video of Judge Trey Gowdy. It is funny and satisfying at the same time. Do you think Obama should be arrested for treason? 
3	Are New Vaccine Laws Factual and Equitable?Catherine J. Frompovich One Oregon physician, Steiner Hayward, feels the new laws requirements would make certain that parents have received accurate information before making decisions about their childrens health and vaccination choices. Nothing could be more admirable or desirable from this writers viewpoint and, therefore, commendable. However, if parents are to receive accurate information as is the case in all debates, court cases, civil issues, media and TV programming will parents and legal guardians also be given simultaneously, equal access to: 1. the CDCs statistics and numbers of adverse events filed with the VAERS (Vaccination Adverse Event Reporting System) from its inception to date, which should number between 300,000 and 500,000 adverse events? And how to file a VAERS adverse event? 2. the payout figures for all claim settlements to date paid by the U.S. Vaccine Court for damages to vaccinees from vaccines/vaccinations? 3. the names of those vaccines which have the most adverse events filed against them? 5. that at least 119 deaths have been reported to have occurred after girls received the HPV vaccine? As of August 13, 2012, 894 reports of disability; 517 life-threatening adverse events; 9,889 emergency room visits; 2,781 hospitalizations have been reported?[3] 6. that vaccines still contain mercury (Thimerosal49.6% ethylmercury) and most vaccines can contain several formulations of aluminum, a brain neurotoxin?[4] 7. that vaccines can or may contain unknown viruses and other organisms?[5] If parents are not given the above facts about vaccines per law, parents truly dont have accurate information. Case closed! Until vaccine laws require adverse effects information, as stated above, be mandated and become part of the very laws that make parents see vaccine indoctrination films, parents legally are NOT provided with factual, truthful, or ethical information about vaccines and vaccinations in order to make an informed consent decision. Case closed! State laws have to be revised to include accurate vaccine/vaccination adverse events information as listed above in order to be considered legal, fair, medically and scientifically accurate.

1	Diagnosed three months ago with terminal lymphoma, David Bradley, 46, has stood as such a stirring example of courage in the face of disease that he is inspiring others in his community to get cancer. 'Seeing David and the way he's bravely battled this thing, I couldn't help but follow his lead,' said neighbor Timothy Willis, injecting himself with a concentrated dose of the carcinogen trichloroethelene in an effort to contract the disease. 'David understands that every day is a precious gift. Pretty soon, I'm going to realize that, too.' Said Mandy Pitnick, 14, chain-smoking three unfiltered Camels: 'I want to be a symbol of hope just like David.' 
3	CIA Un-cloaked Who or What Should Be Next?Catherine J. Frompovich Is a newly-released Senate report [1] vindication for all those whistleblowers, especially John Kiriakou, who currently is serving time in the federal pen at Loretto, Pennsylvania, that the CIA needed to be taken to task and exposed, something the U.S. Congress apparently refused to do for years, until now. According to Wikipedia, He [Kiriakou] is notable as the first official within the U.S. government to confirm the use of waterboarding of al-Qaeda prisoners as an interrogation technique, which he described as torture. [2] To the Senate Select Committee on Intelligences credit, though, This action marked the culmination of a monumental effort that officially began with the Committees decision to initiate the Study in March 2009, but which had its roots in an investigation into the CIAs destruction of videotapes of CIA detainee interrogations that began in December 2007. [3] The full Committee report totals over 6,700 pages, however, the official report released has only 499 pages. What a synthesized or boiled down version! But, maybe its better than nothing? There are redactions galore! Evidently, Senator Feinstein chose not to seek declassification of all 6,700 pages but only the Executive Summary. However and to her credit, Senator Dianne Feinstein, as Chair of the Committee, made a tactical decision insofar as releasing a smidgen of the report to the world. What repercussions will occur, no one truly knows and many have theorized about its troubling information causing widespread international worriesand rightfully so, one could offer. Nevertheless, transparency should be the coin of the realm for ALL government offices, agencies, and programs. In the Foreword to the Report, Senator Feinstein offers this: President Obama signed Executive Order 13491 in January 2009 to prohibit the CIA from holding detainees other than on a short-term, transitory basis and to limit interrogation techniques to those included in the Army Field Manual. However, these limitations are not part of U.S. law and could be overturned by a future president with the stroke of a pen. They should be enshrined in legislation. [4] Only time, along with vested-interests and arm-twisting, will reveal what happens further down the line after the new 114th Congress convenes with both chambers held by Republican Party majorities. However, the real story behind the release of the redacted CIA report is that it even happened! Truly, a sacred cow is being trotted out for public and world-wide scrutiny. Applause, applause, applause! Obviously, there are other sacred cows in Congressional committees that must be investigated and vetted, especially those committees and subcommittees having oversight regarding the pharmaceutical and vaccine industries, which the U.S. CDC and FDA regulate. What would we find out about the FDA and its cushy relationships with Big Pharma? Wouldnt healthcare consumers, physicians, and medical journals like to know? The reasons probably are legion as to why Big Pharma needs to be taken out behind the wood shed: Especially egregious is how it dictates to the U.S. FDA pseudo-science and its self-generated efficacy studies published in self-owned journals regarding vaccines and most of its pharmaceuticals, many of which have been withdrawn from the marketplace only after years harming consumers who instituted class action lawsuits. See a current list http://topclassactions.com/ of whos being sued. What happened that no member of Congress did anything about CDC whistleblower William Thompson, PhD, vaccines, and suppressed data regarding autism? Consider the current flack about this flu seasons ineffective flu vaccines. And finally, lets trot out the pathetic decades-old story about how a cancer-causing monkey virus (SV-40) was given to millions of vaccinees in the original polio vaccines distributed to school children in the 1950s and 1960s. In 200350 years after millions received those tainted polio vaccinesthe 108th U.S. Congress held a hearing about SV-40. Realistically, we cant wait another 50 years to find out whats causing problems in current vaccines! The upshot or take away regarding Congress is this: Congress has oversight and needs to get out of the deep back pockets of vested interest groups and their lobbyists who prowl Capitol Hill poisoning the well with proprietary misinformation that, in turn, makes life expensive, problematic, and a police state out of the USA. If people are willing to protest with Hands up; dont shoot and I cant breathe demonstrations, then shouldnt we be willing to put the pedal to the metal regarding transparency in government at all levels, bar none; in medicine and healthcare insuranceespecially the Affordable Care Act and how it was passed into law; pharmaceutical research and the FDAs reliance upon pseudo-science from Big Pharma; and all other aspects of the corporate-government bureaucracy that burden our daily lives?

1	An unfunny private joke dating back to when they were roommates five years ago is reportedly the last remaining thread still connecting friends Jennifer Kerns and Kerri Gallagher. 'All one of us has to do is say, 'You are hungry, Mr. Max,' and we'll both bust out laughing,' Gallagher said of the shared reference that has outlasted each friend's recollection of the other's birthday, favorite pastime, and middle name. 'Sometimes we'll spend entire phone conversations just sort of doing it back and forth. Most times, actually.' Gallagher, unaware that Kerns was currently attending her mother's funeral, added that it had been a while since her friend had called. 
1	While performing at a campaign rally for President Barack Obama on Thursday, rock icon Bruce Springsteen reportedly failed to fire up the largely working-class audience when he accidentally played an acoustic ballad titled Big Governments Stealin Our Livelihood. Cant ever feed the appetite of Uncle Sam / Stealin half my paycheck out of my hand, crooned Springsteen, unintentionally alienating the bemused crowd with brazenly pro-market and anti-union lyrics that detail the struggles of a small business owner named Mikey who is forced to declare bankruptcy due to a weak economy plagued by industry overregulation. Green energy subsidies unfair / The middle class aint going nowhere / Cause that big ol government stole our livelihood again. According to sources, the New Jerseybred singer-songwriter only compounded his mistake by following up with the fast-paced rocker One Man, One Woman. 
2	Best Buy Surrenders To Shariah Law In Horrifying Way Best Buy has received backlash in response to a holiday promotion that attempted to acknowledge that the Muslim holiday Eid Al-Adha is celebrated the same day as Black Friday. The ad immediately sparked controversy online, accusing Best Buy of pushing Christmas to the side in an effort to be politically correct. In fact, the home electronics retailer also announced that they will no longer put Merry Christmas in their flyers. Now, the American Family Association is speaking out against the organization for abandoning the C word. The group also called for the boycott of The Gap. Makes sense. Stop saying Christmas because you dont want to be associated with Jesus, and instead associated yourself with goat sacrifice, one customer wrote in response to the advertisement. Truly noble. I think Ill go to Best Buy with a dead goat. Eid is not about giving to the poor, another customer commented. It is about sacrifice. I live in a Muslim country and the streets literally run with blood during this holiday. That is not an exaggeration. What do you think of Best Buys decision? 
1	With her remarkable ability to determine exactly how others should be allocating their limited resources for food, local woman Carol Gaither is considered to be one of the foremost authorities on what poor people should and should not have in their grocery carts, sources said Thursday. As verified by multiple eyewitness reports from supermarkets across the Northampton area, the real estate agent and mother of three is capable of scanning the contents of any low-income persons basket and rapidly identifying those items which people like that dont need to be buying, based on the products nutrition and cost. Additionally, Gaither, 48, is widely regarded as a leading expert in determining which groceries they would purchase instead if they had any common sense or restraint. Theres no reason she should be loading up on those pricey TV dinners if shes getting the government to pay for it, Gaither told reporters at a local Super Stop and Shop, training her prodigious faculties on a welfare recipient using a benefit card in front of her in the checkout line. If I were on food stamps, Id just buy two whole chickens and a bag of potatoesyou could feed a family for a week on that and still have money left over. All that junk shes buying is just loaded with sugar, too, said Gaither, identifying with uncanny speed another critical flaw in her fellow shoppers grocery selection. No wonder her kids are acting out like that. Sources said that Gaither, in addition to being a noted scholar of how the indigent squander her tax dollars at the supermarket, is able to detect with astonishing frequency instances in which poor people claim they are unable to pay their own grocery bills yet, seconds later, pull out a brand-new cell phone thats far nicer than the one Gaither herself owns. Moreover, as one of the most respected voices concerning the poors flawed eating habits, Gaither reportedly possesses the ability to instantly assess when people on public assistance keep coming back to the same fatty foods that pretty much explain how they came to look like that in the first place. Despite her stature, Gaither has never shared her insights with any of these individuals, sources confirmed. The other day, I saw a woman who bought a box of name-brand Frosted Flakes because, apparently, the generic kind wasnt fancy enough for her, said Gaither, swiftly and decisively calculating that bagged cereal would have cost half as much. And guess whos going to be paying the difference in the end? But then again, what do you expect? Gaither added, making eye contact with the reporter. As noted by her acquaintances, Gaithers unrivaled expertise extends far beyond her appraisal of poor peoples shopping lists. Indeed, sources confirmed that she is also nothing short of a savant on such matters as whether young children should be given electronic gizmos to play with instead of a book, what homeless individuals are doing with the spare change you give them, and what on earth would motivate someone to go out in public like that. Additionally, Gaither has earned wide commendation for putting forth a clear, straightforward solution to the behavioral problems she has identified as plaguing the poor population, suggesting simply that needy families stop popping out babies and focus on raising the ones they already have. No matter where you go, it always seems like Carol has some amazing new piece of insight about people around her, said friend Gloria Ferris, who told reporters that she has often marveled at Gaithers abilities on trips to the mall, the movies, and especially in restaurants. Whether shes analyzing exactly how a parent should go about disciplining their child or methodically dissecting the laziness of obese people who ride around in motorized carts, Carols on top of it. She just has a gift. If only these people could be as perceptive as she is, Ferris added. 
2	Obamas Gun Control Executive Order To Into Effect In The New Year According to recent report, President Obama is expected to issue an executive order introducing new gun control measures early in the new year. Senior congressional aides and sources in the gun-control community expect the White House to use its executive powers to tighten federal gun laws shortly after President Barack Obama returns from a Hawaiian vacation in early January, Roll Call reported. Josh Earnest also confirmed that a legal review is underway, and Obama is looking into what he can do without the support of Congress. There are common-sense things that can be done that would make our country safer, that would make it harder for criminals and the mentally ill to get their hands on a firearm, Earnest told reporters. And we can do that without undermining the basic constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans. The rhetoric is similar to the one used in the aftermath of the San Bernardino attacks. Following his statement, a CNN/ORC poll revealed that the American public does not support the presidents call for more gun control laws, with 52 percent opposing that move. What we expect is that [the administration] are going to better define what it means to be in the business of selling firearms, Roll Call added. Obama reportedly met with former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg on to discuss what actions can be taken. Bloomberg has been a public proponent of gun control, and has declared war on the National Rifle Association. What do you think? Does Obama need to be kicked out of the White House before he strips Americans of their rights?

1	Despite three thorough cleanings this month, the change machine at Naughty But Nice Adult Magazines & Video Gallery has once again become clogged and inoperable. 'I don't know what's wrong with the damn thing,' said store owner James Vanderbek. 'We paid too much for it to have to be cleaning it every week, I can tell you that.' Said Ken Woodruff, the store's assistant manager: 'It always seems to happen on Wednesday nights: Right around the time this one funny-looking tall guy leaves, someone always seems to complain about not being able to get change.' 
1	Citing a marked decline in his appearance and personal hygiene, as well as growing piles of personal items under and around his desk, members of Congress have begun to voice concerns that Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) may be homeless. Worries first arose after Sen. Warner was seen picking up old cigarettes around Capitol Hill during a congressional recess. 'At first, I thought he was just burning the candle at both ends,' said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), who noted that the unshaven Warner is always the first to arrive in the morning and the last to leave the Capitol at night. 'But then on Sunday, I dropped by to pick up a few things and found Mark asleep under a blanket of Washington Posts on the Senate floor.' 'It never really crossed my mind before, but I think the poor guy might be homeless,' Reid continued. 'It would explain why he's always asking the other lawmakers if they're going to finish their lunch.' According to sources on Capitol Hill, suspicions first arose that Warner had nowhere to call home after the Virginia lawmaker attended daily Senate sessions for several weeks in the same wrinkled Brooks Brothers suit. In addition, Warner's recent habit of introducing legislation written out on large pieces of brown cardboard only furthered speculation that he had hit hard times. 'With the way the economy has been lately, I guess I wouldn't be surprised,' Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) said. 'All I know is that I walked into the Senate bathroom a couple weeks ago and there was Mark, soaking a pair of dirty socks in the sink and holding his unmentionables up to that hand dryer thing.' Sen. Warner has been seen, on multiple occasions, napping inside a locked handicap stall. 'I tried to ask him if everything was okay, but he just mumbled something under his breath about 'people needing to knock first,'' Lugar added. Over the past few weeks, Warner has reportedly signed up to be placed only on Senate subcommittees that serve complimentary breakfast and coffee during meetings. Warner's behavior on the Senate floor has also changed as of late, with the legislator voting in favor of more comfortable benches in public parks, and adding several riders onto bills calling for 'universal access to soup.' Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) said he believed Warner was homeless after seeing the bleary-eyed lawmaker rummaging through a trash can on the National Mall. Byrd reported that when he approached Warner, the freshman senator claimed that he was just looking for 'some health care reform bill' he had thrown away. According to sources, Warner also claimed to be looking for 'that damn health care bill' when he was found sifting through a Dumpster behind the Capitol, rummaging in a garbage chute outside the Russell Senate Office Building, and attempting to hock a congressional lectern at a local 24-hour pawn shop. 'I feel bad for the guy, I really do,' said Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), adding that all of Warner's mail is now forwarded to a P.O. box at Union Station. 'For instance, this morning he got up from his seat, wheeled that abysmal shopping cart of his onto the Senate floor, and lobbied us to pass a $3 million 'Spare Change Act.'' 'Look, we'd love to help Mark out, but if there's one thing Congress doesn't believe in, it's handouts,' Hatch added. 'Plus, you know he'd just waste that money on booze or arts funding or something.' Warner, who was unavailable for comment, is currently in a Bank of America ATM lobby, holding the door open for customers in an effort to raise campaign funds. 
1	Despite numerous reservations and misgivings He harbored about the 33-year-old mortgage broker, Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Our Holy Savior, reportedly entered the heart of Derek Moehr on Wednesday, reluctantly illuminating the local man with His divine grace. Christ, who described Moehr as kind of a deadbeat and not a particularly great husband or father, said that He was hesitant to fill Moehrs soul with the Word of God, but conceded that, as the Heavenly Redeemer of Mankind, He ultimately felt He had no choice but to allow His holy spirit to dwell inside the Wells Fargo employee. It usually brings me great joy to share my love and forgiveness with all Gods children, but when Derek sought the holy power of my redemption, I have to admit that I really wanted no part of it, said Christ, explaining His unease over building a spiritual communion with a man He described as all in all, pretty annoying. I would have been perfectly happy with never cleansing Derek of his sins and transgressions, but, unfortunately, when a believer reaches out to me with faith in their hearts, I kind of have to reach back, even if its Derek. But I just want to make it clear this was not my idea, the Messiah added. The last thing I want is to be this guys personal savior. The Lamb of God, who admitted He was not particularly thrilled at having to deliver Moehr from suffering and bondage, said that He wavered before entering the suburban fathers heart, reportedly giving serious consideration to whether or not to allow him to continue languishing in darkness. However, after taking a moment to compose Himself, Christ said He took a deep breath, gritted His teeth, and allowed His divine love to wash over the Kansas Cityarea resident. Christ further stated that He is hoping to avoid providing Moehr with daily spiritual nourishment and guidance, saying that He hoped instead to simply point the man in the right direction and let him figure it out from there. Right now, Im only bathing Derek in a little bit of my healing light, and Im reserving the rest of it for later until I see how things go, the Son of Man said amid sighs. I honestly cant believe I have to walk alongside this guy for the rest of his days. Believe me, though, if he runs into adversity or temptation, theres no way Im carrying him or lifting the weight from his shoulders. Thats up to him. Additionally, the Light of the World told reporters that He was not looking forward to providing Moehr with an entire lifetime of serenity and peace, lamenting that there were billions of other people in the world who could have been reborn in His name instead. To be honest, before Derek confessed his sins, repented, and sought my grace in pious supplication, I was really looking forward to sitting on my throne and judging him, said Christ, noting that if it were up to Him, Moehr would still be spiritually empty and adrift. I definitely thought Id be condemning him in a few decades and casting his soul into the lake of fire and brimstone. That was an idea that I was 100 percent behind. I honestly never thought Derek of all people would actually commit his life to me, the frustrated King of Kings added. And frankly, I dont see why this always has to be my responsibility. According to Christ, if all goes well He hopes to abide in Moehrs heart just long enough to release the man of the sinful nature he was born with, at which point He expected take a more passive and hands-off role in which He only rarely reentered Moehr to renew his faith. The Holy One, however, was reportedly dejected to learn that Moehr had been eagerly discussing his newfound devotion to Christ to his friends and family, pledging to them that this was only the start of a long, intimate journey with the Lord by [his] side. Touching someones life is one thing, but then having to reveal myself to them daily as the Living Savior, serve as their personal shepherd, and perpetually lead them on the path of righteousnessthats really a lot to ask, especially if its some smug, stuck-up guy like Derek, Christ said. Frankly, I cant wait until God sends a great tribulation to test his faith. With any luck, his conviction will break and I can just get the hell out of there. At press time, the Son of God reportedly sighed and resigned Himself to the likelihood that He would have to welcome Moehr into His heavenly kingdom and spend eternal life in the obnoxious losers presence. 
3	Sunshine: A Free Source of Health and HappinessDaisy Luther Sunlight. The trouble is, we have been brainwashed by the mainstream media to avoid sunlight as though we were vampires who might burst into flame if the rays touch our unprotected skin. People slather on sunscreen every single day (which has its own host of detrimental health effects beyond blocking Vitamin D). They avoid the midday sun. They stay indoors. There is a national deficit of Vitamin D brought on by scare tactics. This is not to say that you should allow yourself to get burned to a crisp laying in the midday sun at the equator. Sunburns caused by UVA rays DO cause skin cancer. UVA rays are longer-reaching than UVB rays and can burn your skin even through glass. According to a report on US News, who spoke with Robyn Lucas, leader of a study published in the February issue of the International Journal of Epidemiology and an epidemiologist at Australian National University. Her finding: Far more lives are lost to diseases caused by a lack of sunlight than to those caused by too much. Here are just a few: Beyond these issues, a high level of Vitamin D can help your immune system. Taking 10,000 IUs per day of vitamin D at the first sign of a cold or flu can help to shorten the duration of the illness. During a University of Copenhagen study, scientists discovered how Vitamin D helps to activate the immune response: For T cells to detect and kill foreign pathogens such as clumps of bacteria or deadly viruses, the cells must first be triggered into action and transform from inactive and harmless immune cells into killer cells that are primed to seek out and destroy all traces of a foreign pathogen. The researchers found that the T cells rely on vitamin D in order to activate and they would remain dormant, nave to the possibility of threat if vitamin D is lacking in the blood. We have discovered that the first stage in the activation of a T cell involves vitamin D, explains Professor Carsten Geisler from the Department of International Health, Immunology and Microbiology. When a T cell is exposed to a foreign pathogen, it has an immediate biochemical reaction and extends a signaling device or antenna known as a vitamin D receptor, with which it search for vitamin D. This means that the T cell must have vitamin D or activation of the cell will cease. If the T cells cannot find enough vitamin D in the blood, they wont even begin to mobilise. T cells that are successfully activated transform into one of two types of immune cell. They either become killer cells that will attack and destroy all cells carrying traces of a foreign pathogen or they become helper cells that assist the immune system in acquiring memory. The helper cells send messages to the immune system, passing on knowledge about the pathogen so that the immune system can recognize and remember it at their next encounter and launch a more efficient and enhanced immune response. T cells form part of the adaptive immune system, which means that they function by teaching the immune system to recognize and adapt to constantly changing threats. Why Arent the Benefits of Sunlight Promoted? Easy. Because its free. 20 minutes in the summer sunshine doesnt cost you a thing. Big Pharma doesnt make any money if you go bask in the sunlight. But they make money treating the illnesses that you are susceptible to by avoiding sunlight. They make money from the toxic chemical concoctions weve all been taught to slather on our skin before venturing out of doors. Vitamins are cheap and provide a low level of profit. Big Pharma and the medical industry are not your friends. Recommendations The best way to get Vitamin D is to absorb it through your skin. Unless you live south of Atlanta, you wont be able to do this in the winter the sun doesnt get high enough in the sky for the UVB rays to reach you. However, in the spring, summer and early fall, getting 10 minutes a day of direct sunlight if you are fair-skinned and up to 20 minutes if you are dark skinned, is the best way to bump up your stores of Vitamin D. UVB rays do not penetrate glass you must be outdoors to reap these benefits. The goal is not to BURN your skin that is what causes skin cancer. Im not recommending that you bake on the beach for days at a time Im recommending healthy, moderate exposure that tans you lightly without burning you. Next, during times that you cant get the appropriate amounts of Vitamin D directly from the sun, you should eat foods that provide Vitamin D. Most milk is fortified with Vitamin D (keep in mind this is not as easily absorbed by your body as natural sources of Vitamin D). There are only a few foods that provide the nutrient naturally. They are: Finally, add a Vitamin D supplement the best by far is Vitamin D3. You can safely take 5000-6000 IUs per day, although the RDA is only 200 IUs per day. When youre sick, increase your dose to 10,000 IUs for a brief period of time to aid your immune system. Natural Sun Protection If you are going to be out in the sun for long periods of time, then youll want to protect yourself against sunburns. Not only are they painful, they are a precursor to skin cancer. Dont reach for the SPF 45 from the nearest drugstore. These products can actually cause the cancer they purport to protect you from. The Environmental Working Group released some shocking information when they performed a study that the FDA should have performed. Some sunscreens absorb into the blood and raise safety concerns. Our review of the technical literature shows that some sunscreen ingredients absorb into the blood, and some are linked to toxic effects. Some release skin-damaging free radicals in sunlight, some act like estrogen and could disrupt hormone systems, several are strongly linked to allergic reactions, and still others may build up in the body or the environment. FDA has not established rigorous safety standards for sunscreen ingredients. After 29 years of debate, the government has failed to set mandatory sunscreen safety standards. Companies are free to make their own decisions on everything from advertising claims to product quality. In lieu of setting final standards, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advises people to stay out of the sun from 10 am to 4 pm. FDA now stands in direct violation a Congressional mandate requiring the agency to finalize sunscreen safety standards by May 2006, flouting not only Congress but also consumers, who are reliant on sunscreen to protect their health. Commercial sunscreens contain hormone disruptors, nanoparticles, and petroleum products that absorb through your skin. According to Dr. Mercola, if your sunscreen contains any of the following ingredients, it is toxic and potentially life-threatening: The link above also discusses a healthy natural sunscreen available through Dr. Mercolas website. You can protect yourself from sunburn naturally through several measures. First, eat a diet high in foods that provide protection from the inside out: berries, spirulina, tomatoes, watermelon, strawberries, chorella, dark chocolate, kiwi, almonds, and green tea. Second, wear protective clothing shirts that cover your back and shoulders, brimmed hats that shield your ears, neck and face, and shoes that cover the tops of your feet. Finally, make your own safer sunscreen. Mix equal parts zinc oxide (baby butt cream or zinc oxide powder) with coconut oil and put this on vulnerable areas like your face and shoulders if you are going to be in the sun for the day. ***** John Denver had it right. Vitamin D is great for your mental health, so sunshine, can indeed, make you happy. (Going retro for a minute! ^^^) 
3	Economic Collapse Is Erupting All Over The Planet As Global Leaders Begin To PanicBy Michael Snyder Lets start with Brazil. It has the 7th largest economy on the entire planet, and it is already enduring its worst recession in 25 years. In fact, at the end of last year Goldman Sachs said that what was going on down there was actually a depression. But now the crisis in Brazil has escalated significantly. I want to share with you an excerpt from a recent article entitled Brazil: Economic collapse worse than feared. I know, that title sounds like it comes directly from The Economic Collapse Blog, but I didnt write it. It actually comesfrom CNN Amid political chaos, Brazils economic collapse is worse than its government once believed. In the midst of rising calls to impeach President Dilma Rousseff, Brazils central bank announced Thursday that it now expects the countrys economy to shrink 3.5% this year. Thats worse than the central banks previous estimate for a 1.9% contraction. The darker forecast matches what the International Monetary Fund projected for Brazil Latin Americas largest country and what many independent economists have suspected. It is one thing for Michael Snyder to tell you that Brazil is in the midst of economic collapse, but it is another thing entirely for CNN to say it. And of course I have been warning about the crisis down in Brazil for quite some time now. For much more on this, please see my previous article entitled The Economic Collapse Of South America Is Well Underway. Meanwhile, things are actually much worse in Venezuela than they are in Brazil. Food and basic supplies are in short supply, the inflation rate has hit 720 percent, and crime is completely out of control. The following is from an article in the Independent entitled Venezuela is on the brink of complete economic collapse The only question now is whether Venezuelas government or economy will completely collapse first. The key word there is completely. Both are well into their death throes. Indeed, Venezuelas ruling party just lost congressional elections that gave the opposition a veto-proof majority, and its hard to see that getting any better for them any time soon or ever. Incumbents, after all, dont tend to do too well when, according to the International Monetary Fund, their economy shrinks 10 percent one year, an additional 6 percent the next, and inflation explodes to 720 percent. Its no wonder, then, that markets expect Venezuela to default on its debt in the very near future. The country is basically bankrupt. Once again we see a very respected mainstream publication using the phrase economic collapse to describe what is happening in South America. You can find some stunning video of the economic Armageddon that is taking place in Venezuela right here. I would encourage you to watch that video, because what is happening down there will eventually be happening here. Meanwhile, over in Europe the collapse of the Italian banking system has entered a disturbing new chapter. Italys finance minister has called a meeting in Rome for Monday that will be focusing ona last resort bailout plan for the troubled banks Finance minister Pier Carlo Padoan has called a meeting in Rome on Monday with executives from Italys largest financial institutions to agree final details of a last resort bailout plan. Yet on the eve of that gathering, concerns remain as to whether the plan will be sufficient to ringfence the weakest of Italys large banks, Monte dei Paschi di Siena, from contagion, according to people involved in the talks. Italian bank shares have lost almost half their value so far this year amid investor worries over a 360bn pile of non-performing loans equivalent to about a fifth of GDP. Lenders profitability has been hit by a crippling three-year recession. As Italy descends into financial chaos, the rest of the continent better be paying attention. Do you remember how hard it was for the rest of Europe to rescue Greece? Well, Greece has the 44th largest economy on the planet. Italy has the 8th. It would be hard to overstate the seriousness of what is going on over in Europe, and it is not just Italy we are talking about. All over the continent major banks are in deep trouble, and the chairman of Frances second largest retail bank recently told reporters that I am much more worried than I was in 2009. And there is very good reason for concern. On Sunday, we learned that a major bail-in had just been announced for one of Austrias most prominent banks. The following comesfrom Zero Hedge And then today, following a decision by the Austrian Banking Regulator, the Finanzmarktaufsicht or Financial Market Authority, Austria officially became the first European country to use a new law under the framework imposed by Bank the European Recovery and Resolution Directive to share losses of a failed bank with senior creditors as it slashed the value of debt owed by Heta Asset Resolution AG. The highlights from the announcement: Today, the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) in its function as the resolution authority pursuant to the Bank Recovery and Resolution Act (BaSAG Bundesgesetz ber die Sanierung und Abwicklung von Banken) has issued the key features for the further steps for the resolution of HETA ASSET RESOLUTION AG. The most significant measures are: According to the current resolution plan for HETA, the wind-down process should be concluded by 2020, although the repayment of all claims as well as the legally binding conclusion of all currently outstanding legal disputes will realistically only be concluded by the end of 2023. Only at that point will it be possible to finally distribute the assets and to liquidate the company. The dominoes are starting to fall in Europe, and I would expect even bigger announcements in the weeks and months to come. Over in Asia, economic chaos is beginning to prevail as well. In China, the stock market is already down more than 40 percent from the peak, Chinese exports were down 25.4 percent on a year over year basis in February, and Chinese economic numbers overall have not been this poor since the depths of the last global recession. At the same time, the Japanese economy is really struggling right now. As I wrote about the other day, Japanese GDP has shrunk for two out of the last three quarters, we just saw Japanese industrial production experience the biggest one month decline that we have witnessed since the tsunami of 2011, and business sentiment has fallen to a three-year low. The Nikkei has dropped by about 5,000 points from where it was last summer, and some analysts believe that Japanese markets are being destroyed due to massive intervention by the Bank of Japan. Here in the United States, we havent been hit quite as hard as the rest of the world just yet, but there are lots of very disturbing warning signs all around us. At the end of last week, we learned that it is being projected that U.S. GDP will have grown by just 0.1 or 0.2 percent during the first quarter of 2016. And on Monday corporate earnings reporting season begins, and it is expected to be a very, very bad one. The following comesfrom Business Insider We are about to get confirmation that earnings growth for Americas biggest companies was negative in the first quarter, compared to the same period a year ago. When aluminum giant Alcoa releases its results on Monday, it will mark the unofficial start of the heaviest reporting season for SP 500 companies. The final scoreboard is expected to show a 9.1% earnings drop for the quarter, according to FactSet senior earnings analyst John Butters. If these projections turn out to be accurate, it will be the fourth quarter in a row of earnings declines. This is something that we never see outside of a recession. And for a whole bunch more numbers which indicate that the U.S. economy is in very serious trouble, please see my previous article entitled 19 Facts That Prove Things In America Are Worse Than They Were Six Months Ago. Of course I am just another voice in the crowd when it comes to predicting that the U.S. economy is headed for rough times. For example, just check out what Societe Generale economist Albert Edwards is saying A tidal wave is coming to the US economy, accordingto Albert Edwards, and when it crashes its going to throw the economy into recession. the profit recession facing Americancorporations is going to lead to a collapse in corporate credit. Despite risk assets enjoying a few weeks in the sun our fail-safe recession indicator has stopped flashing amber and turned to red He continued: Whole economy profits never normally fall this deeply without a recession unfolding. And with the US corporate sector up to its eyes in debt, the one asset class to be avoided even more so than the ridiculously overvalued equity market is US corporate debt. The economy will surely be swept away by a tidal wave of corporate default. As you can see, it isnt just one nation or one region of the world that we need to be concerned about. Economic chaos is erupting literally all over the planet, and global leaders are starting to panic. Unfortunately, they have had seven years to try to fix things since the last global recession, and they didnt get the job done. Anyone who believes that by some miracle they will be able to pull us out of the fire this time and that everything will somehow be okay is simply engaged in wishful thinking. *About the author: Michael Snyder is the founder and publisher of The Economic Collapse Blog, where this article first appeared.

3	US Climate Change Procedure Based on UNs Geoengineering Governance and Technology PolicySusanne Posel, Contributor Project Cirrus (PC), a.k.a. Project Stormfury), was conducted by the US government between 1962 and 1983 in an attempt to manipulate the weather by affecting hurricane behavior. PC was headed by General Electric, the US Army Signal Corps, the Office of Naval Research and the US Air Force . The Government Accountability Office (GAO) states in their studythat climate engineering technologies, focusing on their technical status, future directions for research and potential responses. The GAO reviewed the scientific literature and government reports, consulted experts with a wide variety of backgrounds and viewpoints, and surveyed 1,006 adults across the United States. The GAO concluded that climate engineering technologies do not now offer a viable response to global climate change. Areas of study were: SRM consists of spraying crystals and toxic chemicals such as sulfate aerosols and barium into the upper atmosphere. For more than a decade, first the United States and then Canadas citizens have been subjected to a 24/7/365 day aerosol assault over our heads made of a toxic brew of poisonous heavy metals, chemicals, and other dangerous ingredients. None of this was reported by any mainstream media. The US Department of Defense (DOD) and military have been systematically blanketing all our skies with what are known as Chemtrails (also known as Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering). The GAO admits that current geoengineering techniques are immature and that many of them could have potentially negative consequences. Yet, the consensus of governmental agencies has chosen to disregard the health hazards to the general public in favor of the continued use of geoengineering. Scientists in support of geoengineering, knowing major technology risks or limited future climate change show their bias toward the science. The GAO have looked toward the private sector because governments and corporations working with them subvert their findings and conduct experiments worldwide without consent. According to the Geoengineering: Governance and Technology Policy (GGTP) report, produced by the Congressional Research Service, the US government has joined with other nations . . . as a participant in several international agreements on climate change. The experimental aspect of geoengineering in the US is directed in the absence of a comprehensive [climate change] policy that will modify the Earths climate and make these technologies available to foreign governments and entities in the private sector to use unilaterally without authorization from the US government or an international treaty. Oversight concerning geoengineering research and experimental projects is allocated to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Energy (DoE), Department of Agriculture (DoA), and the Department of Defense. Although there is no provision, many of the UNs international treaties relating to climate change, maritime pollution and air pollution are used to govern the pursuit of geoengineering. In 2010, the UNs Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) outlined the necessity of geoengineering for the sake of saving the Earths biodiversity. The US government, using the UNs Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as their guide, has created policies to mitigate the fabled effects of man-made climate change. The GGTP states that: geoengineering technologies, applied to the climate, aim to achieve large-scale and deliberate modifications of the Earths energy balance in order to reduce temperatures and counteract anthropogenic (i.e., human-made) climate change; these climate modifications would not be limited by country boundaries. In 2009, the Congress House Science and Technology Committeediscussed: potential environmental risks and benefits of various proposals, associated domestic and international governance issues, evaluation mechanisms and criteria, research and development (RD) needs, and economic rationales supporting the deployment of geoengineering activities. The United Kingdom (UK), Germany, and India provided scientists that supported the engagement of geoengineering technologies in the name of reducing emissions, preserving climate sensitivity, and climate thresholds under the pursuit of political, social and economic mitigation strategies. The UNs assertion that climate change is directly causal to humans has inspired mandates for geoengineering governance. This scheme does not rely on scientific data or research studies, but rather real world experiments with chemtrail technologies conducted by governmental agencies and private sector corporations employed by policymakers and international entities. Through the covering of governmental policy, the UN hopes to design technologies to control the climate; advance geoengineering options in lieu of effectively mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (for example, could result in a number of adverse effects, including ocean acidification, stresses on biodiversity, climate sensitivity shocks, and other irreversible consequences); engage the private sector corporations by enticing them with government subsidies while examining their ownership models, intellectual property rights and trade and transfer mechanisms for the dissemination of geoengineering technologies. While the UN anticipated that the general public would become aware of their schemes (as is happening now) they planned a propaganda campaign to assert transparency while hiding the actuality of critical technologies to avoid liabilities and compensation to the public for adverse effects of geoengineering. To cover up their unethical impact on the Earth, the UN created information to be made available to the public and hired scientists to praise their deployment of geoengineering. John Holdren, US Science Adviser to Obama, has come out publicly to claim that geoengineering will assist the planetin stabilizing its weather with regard to global warming. Holdren says geoengineering is a perfectly viable way to cool the planets temperature. He fully supports the process of releasing particles of barium, magnesium, aluminum, nano-fibers, bacillus blood spores and other chemicals to reflect sunlight away from the Earth. The implementation of geoengineering, a scheme of the UNs decisive endeavor to create global governance, is not only fully supported by the US government, but the UNs direct policies and procedures are literally adopted as strategies of the Obama administration.

3	Showdown in Oregon: How to - and How Not to Fight TyrannyBy Tony Cartalucci Wall Street and Washington have left the country itself in socioeconomic shambles. Abroad, these collective special interests are subverting nations politically and economically from Venezuela to Southeast Asia, waging war throughout North Africa and the Middle East, while propping up criminal client regimes in nations like Ukraine. A handful of armed ranchers with a few boxes of supplies, who live within and are completely dependent on a system controlled by the very special interests they are standing up against, will do little to change the military, economic, political, and social factors that add up to the above-described global equation. The ranchers supply cache looks like it was picked up from one of Americas many mega-retailers, the literal consumerist feeding troughs that keep the American people perpetually in servile dependence, and the Fortune 500 deeply entrenched amid the unwarranted power and influence it has enjoyed for decades and is able to wield at home and abroad with virtual impunity. It is not unlike a group of American G.I.s trying to fight the Germans during WW2, while buying German rations, from the Germans, all while leaving German supply lines completely intact. They would not only be preserving their enemys source of strength to fight, but paying into it. The harder they fought the more supplies they would need, and the stronger their enemy would become. The ranchers standoff, from a purely strategic point-of-view, is already a failure. No matter who is really behind it, and no matter how it plays out, the actions of the ranchers at best will cause the government to back down on this one particular issue, and only for this particular case. At worst, it will only further justify the growing police state evolving within Americas borders. Regardless, it will do absolutely nothing to change the balance of power enabling Wall Street and Washington at home or abroad. A growing tyranny is not entirely unlike an insurgency. The terms insurgency and counterinsurgency can quickly become confusing in a politically motivated context. However, generally speaking, an insurgency seeks to overthrow an established institution or political order, while a counterinsurgency seeks to maintain that order. In the United States, and around much of the world where the nation-state still prevails, the established order is one of national sovereignty based on constitutions and charters produced by each respective nation, with an infrastructure built and improved upon over generations by each nations respective cultures, economic activities, and innovations. From a nations national courts and military, all the way down to the individual family, these are the established institutions of ones nation. Image: The problem goes beyond the various government agencies that torment us, be it land departments perceived to be harassing ranchers, or police perceived to be harassing African-Americans, and stems from the unwarranted power and influence the government wields due to the corporate-financier interests that have commandeered it to serve its own interests. A few guns and a box of supplies bought at Walmart will not solve a problem that, ironically, includes Walmart. There is an insurgency to subvert all of this. A globalcorporate-financier insurgency, or simply a corporate-insurgency. The corporate-insurgency seeks to subvert our institutions, starting with the family, extending to our schools, universities, churches, temples and mosques, our local sheriffs, and even reaching into our national governments, rewriting or eradicating altogether our national constitutions and charters. It has, to a great extent, already subverted our independent local infrastructure, while implementing laws and regulations to prevent us from restoring it. We have the very tactics described in a vast library of government and military counterinsurgency documents being employed against us, where ever we are and to a profound effect. Insurgency is the organized use of subversion and violence to seize, nullify or challenge political control of a region. As such, it is primarily a political struggle, in which both sides use armed force to create space for their political, economic and influence activities to be effective. Insurgency is not always conducted by a single group with a centralized, military-style command structure, but may involve a complex matrix of different actors with various aims, loosely connected in dynamic and non-hierarchical networks. To be successful, insurgencies require charismatic leadership, supporters, recruits, supplies, safe havens and funding (often from illicit activities). They only need the active support of a few enabling individuals, but the passive acquiescence of a large proportion of the contested population will give a higher probability of success. This is best achieved when the political cause of the insurgency has strong appeal, manipulating religious, tribal or local identity to exploit common societal grievances or needs. Insurgents seek to gain control of populations through a combination of persuasion, subversion and coercion while using guerrilla tactics to offset the strengths of government security forces. Their intent is usually to protract the struggle, exhaust the government and win sufficient popular support to force capitulation or political accommodation. Consequently, insurgencies evolve through a series of stages, though the progression and outcome will be different in almost every case. page 7 U.S. Government Counterinsurgency Guide, 2009(emphasis added) While this above quote is a most accurate description of an insurgency, as one reads the US Government Counterinsurgency Guide (2009), they will realize that the opposing methods of counterinsurgency itself involve all of these same factors, simply mirrored and reflecting the interests of the US versus the interests of targeted insurgencies. Image: The cover of theUS Government Counterinsurgency Guide (2009)features the signatures representing the trifecta of modern-day empire, covert operations (USAID), military force (Department of Defense), and system administration (the State Department). COIN describes the methods by which empire is implemented at a grassroots level. As a matter of fact, what is described by the 2009 counterinsurgency (COIN) guide, is an accurate description of how political control has been achieved and maintained by all governments throughout the entirety of human history it also forms the foundation of modern empire. Understanding this is key to finding solutions when one finds themselves under the subjugation of an unfavorable political ideology or system. The tactics the guide describes can, and often are, used by either side in any political struggle, not necessarily only in an armed insurgency. COIN is a socioeconomic-tactical synthesis, an interdisciplinary strategy based on an understanding of how a society functions, how to organize human resources to multiple force, and what needs and desires motivate individuals, as well as how these can be manipulated and controlled to collectively motivate a society. These more technical concepts are generally absent from everyday political discourse, and equally absent or incomplete in regards to finding solutions for a failing or unfavorable system. While the US Government COIN guide gives us a clear picture over the governmental-military interdisciplinary aspects of COIN, the Marine Corps Field Manual 3-24 (FM 3-24) provides us with a complete picture of the actual components of an insurgency and all the relating factors that affect it. This includes an enumerated list of services, institutions, organizations, and processes that must be controlled in order to establish political, tactical, and economic primacy. Without these, counterinsurgency fails. Without these, any political movement seeking to assert itself over a flawed or failing system, fails. While FM 3-24 deals with an armed insurgency, presumably in a foreign country, the basic concepts can and are applied to the relatively peaceful execution of real political power throughout the world as well. The reason why so many well-intentioned political solutions fall short, is because they are tailored without understanding these basic concepts. When attempting to establish political primacy essential services, basic infrastructure, economic development and administration must all be controlled by the counterinsurgency. It is upon these basic aspects of modern society that people depend, and from which popular support is sustainably derived. Strength in arms alone will fail utterly unless these aspects are secured, controlled, and developed properly. Upon page 117, the manual discusses the establishment or restoration of essential services. It states specifically (emphasis added): Essential services address the life support needs of the HN [host-nation] population. The U.S. militarys primary task is normally to provide a safe and secure environment. HN or interagency organizations can then develop the services or infrastructure needed. In an unstable environment, the military may initially have the leading role. Other agencies may not be present or might not have enough capability or capacity to meet HN needs. Therefore, COIN military planning includes preparing to perform these tasks for an extended period. Any goal, no matter how well-planned, noble, or progressive, cannot be achieved before these basic services are established and capable of being sustainably maintained. The military is a highly trained, disciplined, well organized institution capable of developing, maintaining, as well as protecting these services. In our local communities around the world, we have to ask ourselves how we can similarly develop and maintain these services sustainably. Community gardens, farmers markets, alternative energy and energy cooperatives, and many other local initiatives shift the power and influence centralized governments and corporate-financier special interests enjoy, away from their monopolies and toward our local communities. Communities that no longer dependent on these special interests are less likely to support them and more likely to defend vigorously infrastructure they are directly invested in. Image: Local energy cooperatives maybe not as exciting as a shootout with the Feds, but definitely more constructive and unlike a shootout with the Feds, will actually leave the balance of power tipped slightly greater in the peoples favor The task is not entirely as daunting as it may seem. Local communities around the world accomplish this through a combination of traditional and newly created local institutions. Most local communities around the world operate with the added advantage that the corporate-insurgency they face is low-intensity and generally not armed. For prospective activists, auditing what their communities already possess, and how to develop it to be more organized and effective would be a good first step. Some other initial priorities identified by the manual include the following taken from page 122: Many communities already possess the ability to do these activities on their own. Points such as building an indigenous local security force might translate into efforts to empower local sheriff offices to negate intrusive, unconstitutional federal government control. It might also include the establishment of professional neighborhood watches and shooting clubs where responsible gun ownership is taught not only to gun enthusiasts, but inclusively to community demographics not traditionally associated with firearm ownership. Building and improving schools might translate into expanding and improving local home schooling networks, leveraging freely available open-courseware online, and opening after-school tutoring centers giving remedial classes or teaching trades and skills not taught at existing educational institutions. Image: Growing food organically, locally, undermines big-ag and big-retail. It also redistributes wealth not through government programs that breed dependency amongst the population, but through local entrepreneurship where people directly participate in and benefit from productive economic activity. Ultimately, most communities are not faced with absolute destitution. For the most part, basic services exist. The problem really is that these services are carried out in some cases by corporate-insurgents and play an essential role in building legitimacy and a support base dependent on the corporate-insurgency for these services. Therefore, the goal should be to take ownership over the execution of these basic services which can be done as a community effort or as a local, small business. The precept of boycott and replace is the equivalent of the take, hold, and rebuild doctrine in military nation-building and counterinsurgency. On page 119 of the report, it states the importance of expanding on basic services and supporting economic development. It states specifically: The short-term aspect concerns immediate problems, such as large-scale unemployment and reestablishing an economy at all levels. The long-term aspect involves stimulating indigenous, robust, and broad economic activity. The stability a nation enjoys is often related to its peoples economic situation and its adherence to the rule of law. However, a nations economic health also depends on its governments ability to continuously secure its population. Planning economic development requires understanding the society, culture, and operational environment. For example, in a rural society, land ownership and the availability of agricultural equipment, feed, and fertilizer may be the chief parts of any economic development plan. In an urban, diversified society, the availability of jobs and the infrastructure to support commercial activities may be more important. Except for completely socialist economies, governments do not create jobs other than in the public bureaucracy. However, the micro economy can be positively stimulated by encouraging small businesses development. Jump-starting small businesses requires micro finance in the form of some sort of banking activities [now easily done via crowd funding]. So then, supporting economic development requires attention to both the macro economy and themicro economy. Without a viable economy and employment opportunities, the public is likely to pursue false promises offered by insurgents. Sometimes insurgents foster the conditions keeping the economy stagnant. Insurgencies attempt to exploit a lack of employment or job opportunities to gain active and passive support for their cause and ultimately undermine the governments legitimacy. Unemployed males of military age may join the insurgency to provide for their families. Hiring these people for public works projects or a local civil defense corps can remove the economic incentive to join the insurgency. The report then goes on to list the major categories of economic activity that it implies are essential for the counterinsurgency to control: Clearly all of these industries are dominated by corporate-financier special interests and their corporate-insurgency. One need not stretch their imagination here to see how the economic crisis created by corporate-financier interests across the West and spreading around the world is comparable to the sort of economic challenges facing a post-war nation fighting an armed insurgency. Image: Through crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter, local communities can jump-start local businesses and their local economies without banking monopolies being involved or possessing leverage over the community long after loans are granted. The description and redresses described on page 119 are particularly relevant, and if we consider the corporate-financier interests who have overtaken our government and institutions as the insurgency, we must see it within ourselves and our communities to search for the energy and initiative to begin local economic development. And again, where the military possesses the ability and the resources to do this on their own, or with other government institutions assisting local communities must develop their own institutions to accomplish these same goals themselves. Hackerspaces and farmers markets represent two organized efforts to develop economic opportunities locally, and present viable models that can be expanded into other industries. An entire section of the counterinsurgency field manual is dedicated to logistics. The importance of managing logistical lines not only enable an army to conduct counterinsurgency operations efficiently, but deny the insurgency supplies to conduct their operations. As it is pointed out, throughout history, insurgencies many times supply themselves off of carelessly protected counterinsurgency supply lines. The report states on page 169 (emphasis added): Insurgents have a long history of exploiting their enemies lines of communications as sources of supply. During the Revolutionary War, American forces significantly provisioned themselves from the British Armys overindulgent and carelessly defended logistic tail. In the 1930s, Mao Zedong codified a doctrine for insurgency logistics during the fight against the Japanese occupation of China. Without exaggerating, Mao stated, We have a claim on the output of the arsenals of [our enemies],and, what is more, it is delivered to us by the enemys transport corps. This is the sober truth, it is not a jest. For Maos forces, his enemys supply trains provided a valuable source of supply. Mao believed the enemys rear was the guerrillas front; the guerrillas advantage was that they had no discernible logistic rear For these reasons, forces conducting counterinsurgency operations must protect all potential supplies. Forces must also vigorously protect their lines of communications, scrupulously collect and positively control dud munitions and access to other convertible materiel, and actively seek ways to separate insurgents from black market activities. The corporate-insurgencys logistical lines are particularly easily to compromise that is because we the people are their logistical lines. Corporate-financier special interests and the government they have constructed to serve them, sustains itself from the collective patronage of communities around the world failing to develop local institutions, services, and economies, and instead pay into centralized, monopolizing multinational corporations. By boycotting and replacing these multinational corporations, we cut the corporate-insurgency off entirely from its logistical lines, starving it into submission. But just as the USMC COIN manual implores counterinsurgency planners to secure their logistical lines from pilfering insurgents, the corporate-insurgency uses laws and regulations to protect their lines. Image: The Oregon ranchers supply lines appear to lead right to Walmarts front door. Resistance against Wall Street that pays into Wall Street to sustain itself is doomed to fail before it even begins. Laws and regulations are designed to prevent independent local institutions, services, and economies from springing up and competing directly with the corporate-insurgency. Farmers in America have been fighting laws seeking to disrupt and regulate out of business, local farmers markets. Similar laws in regards to intellectual property rights seek to stifle the emergence of independent technological innovation and personal manufacturing. Understanding the greater implications of these laws should provide us a greater impetus to organize and find the means of circumventing them. For local communities organizing against the corporate-insurgency, our supplies consist of our food and water, our electricity, our means of communication, and many others. To secure these, we must assume ownership over them, maintaining them as a collective common or a small, local business. To organize against the corporate-insurgency when we are still dependent on them for even simple things like food and water, is a recipe for instant and repeated failure. In a very literal sense, a local communitys communications include telephone networks, the Internet, and radio. Like many other aspects of fighting the corporate-insurgency, the low-intensity nature of it affords us the ability to piecemeal boycott and replace various aspects of its power structure without disrupting the lives of people in our local community. Often times, alternatives are more appealing than existing, monopolized options, and enhance rather than disrupt the lives of ordinary people. In terms of communication infrastructure, ad hoc wireless networks could be constructed to connect a local Internet. This is already being done by the US State Department to infiltrate and overthrow sovereign nation-states they already recognize it as an essential strategy of the corporate-insurgency. In The New York Times article, U.S. Underwrites Internet Detour Around Censors, it states: The Obama administration is leading a global effort to deploy shadow Internet and mobile phone systems that dissidents can use to undermine repressive governments that seek to silence them by censoring or shutting down telecommunications networks. The effort includes secretive projects to create independent cellphone networks inside foreign countries, as well as one operation out of a spy novel in a fifth-floor shop on L Street in Washington, where a group of young entrepreneurs who look as if they could be in a garage band are fitting deceptively innocent-looking hardware into a prototype Internet in a suitcase. With a well developed community Hackerspace, a similar network can be created for a local community to simply circumvent and replace corporate-financier monopolies, providing custom tailored services for a community its creators already know, and spreading the profits of communication monopolies across local communities worldwide a redistribution of wealth done not through socialist handouts, but through innovative local entrepreneurship. A larger international Internet could be made by simply providing links between communities. Image: Hackerspaces sometimes called makerspaces are local institutions that pool together both technological and human resources to prototype and manufacture local technology and solutions. They serve as the perfect nexus for solving everything from agricultural problems to creating local communication solutions, and even bringing manufacturing down to a personal level. The alternative media is a perfect example of a new decentralized institution leveraging communication to successfully counter the corporate-insurgency, and it does so by leveraging technology that allows us to do as individuals what was once only possible with large, capital intensive organizations. The alternative media also reflects some of the tactical considerations expressed by the USMC COIN field manual in regards to logistics. By using large corporate-owned, free services like Blogger, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and others to spread a constructive message aimed at developing our local communities, and against the corporate-insurgency, we are essentially exploiting their own logistical lines for our own cause. It must be understood that while, without taking these basic aspects into consideration a political movement is sure to fail, this does not by any means negate the work of activists focused in other areas. A synergy must be created between all efforts aimed at unwarranted corporate-financier influence but these fundamentals must be understood by all involved. It must also be understood that not everyone employed or involved in a large corporate-financier, multinational corporation is a bad person. In fact, many people who work for corporations like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Halliburton, Exxon, and even Monsanto or Cargill are hardworking and incredibly talented. Like many military who leave the service and join the cause of humanity, these people can become some of our most valued allies if and when they realize the greater implications of what they are involved in and what, for their own best interests and those of humanity, they must next do. For our part, we must work hard to develop our local communities, to create tangible solutions to the problems we face, superior local alternatives to replace the dependency that empowers special interests, and produce a viable model that is self-evidently a system people will want to join and help build. Of all the aspects discussed in the voluminous collection of counterinsurgency manuals the US government has produced, possessing a morally superior cause and instilling a sense of legitimacy within a population ranks toward the top in importance. Building a local community with the peoples best interests addressed by the peoples own two hands themselves, exhibits just such a cause, featuring just such legitimacy. It would be a movement very difficult for the corporate-insurgency to prevail against, and is the key reason why their doctrine has failed them overseas in pursuit of their empire where nations and peoples have successfully accomplished this. For the Oregon ranchers, their ill-conceived strategy fits nowhere within the above-outlined necessities for taking back our communities and institutions. A well-organized and well-armed citizenry if led and used properly, would deter confrontations before they even unfolded. A group finding itself in multiple armed standoffs before it has even built the necessary sociopolitical and technical underpinning necessary to sustain any kind of struggle, has failed to understand even the most elementary aspects of strategic doctrine and has doomed itself before it even began. The best advice for those either joined with these ranchers, or supporting them, is to step back from the Hollywood narrative apparently being woven, see how our attention has been distracted away from real solutions and real local empowerment, and directed toward an expanding confrontation Wall Street and Washington are well prepared to easily win. Tony Cartaluccis articles have appeared on many alternative media websites, including his own at Land Destroyer Report, Alternative Thai News Network and LocalOrg. The Showdown in Burns Oregon seems like just another stepping stone in the Obama plan to remove privately owned guns from the people because Obama knows that he will not survive his attempt at remaining in office after January 20th 2017 unless he takes all the guns from the people. The Showdown in Burns Oregon seems like just another stepping stone in You are manipulated by he establishment trolls You should now the facts and the real situation on the groundIts not about Hammond family only.I applaud those real patriots. Can the author of the article state what under circumstances are the real solutions ? The group in Oregon had exhausted all the means to address they grievancesThey were completely ignored by the establishment Picking a fight you have no chance of winning is plain stupid and worse than utopian. Besides, you apparently didnt read the article if you are calling these solutions utopian. They are tactics used by empires and rebels for thousands of years. Peoples ignorance is the problem here, and why the government has had such an easy time corralling them. A significant consciousness shift would have to take place prior to a major localism movement, otherwise, we fall into the waiting trap of Sustainability (techno utopian localism) by and for the same powers that shouldnt be who engineered the hyperconsumption paradigm. The best thing about the Bundy dust up was it became a great teaching moment, opening more eyes to the Agenda 21 can of worms. That said, youre correct, protesters need to be smart and realistic. How does one achieve a significant consciousness shift and what metrics are employed to determine that? I dont understand how the government can possibly have such an easy time corralling us when there are literally millions of people such as yourself that apparently know everything. I hear that all the time. Everyone is an expert, and yet we are doing so miserable with a nation of Einsteins. Something doesnt fit. The government wants to steal these peoples land. (And the government will.) Im sure the protesters realize their protest is symbolic. But what other option did they have besides quiet submission? If they do not back down, the feds will kill them or at least some of them. I think some of them at least know this. I guess like the first shot at concord, does not matter which side fires first, has to be fired. Once the feds kill some of these people, they are not going to believe the hornets nest they have kicked in the western states. Many in the west are tired of ranchers destroying protected land with their herds of grazing cattle and working with the BLM to send wild horses to slaughter (which is against federal law). These ranchers are a joke. This land is not theirs, its everyones. Protected land? These ranchers know more about protecting the environment than a Chicago chock-full of city slickers like you. You say many, but it is all hyperbole and is more accurate to say a few in the west namely in the big city centers where people wouldnt know the difference between a horses turd and a roadside retread tire. Ranchers protecting the land? Now I know you dont know what youre talking about. Unless you mean destroying sensitive ecosystems and working with the BLM to remove herds of wild horses. They are second only to oil gas in enjoying cheap leases on the land to destroy it for their own profits. I live in cattle country, so sorry, youre wrong. There are many here who actually respect nature and wildlife. So now the ranchers arent getting their way so they throw a hissy fit and grab their guns to occupy a bird sanctuary. Their fight against tyranny couldnt be more ridiculous. Youre just a demoralized communist, in full support of the corrupt govt. Youve allowed your liberal news media to form your opinions. You have no idea what I believe. Quite the contrary, I am no fan of the federal government. Once you have to start name calling, youve lost all credibility to your argument. I do not watch the national news at all. I actually live in the west, among ranchers, and in this culture. They are not modern day revolutionaries, though I know that is the fantasy people are clinging to. I have seen how closely they work with the BLM, their current enemy. The BLM, by the way, is an agency I have spoken and written against with regards to their policy toward working WITH ranchers to exterminate the wolf population and round up wild horses for slaughter, among other campaigns of destroying our nature. There are actually people in this country that value our wilderness, ranchers not among them, nor you I can tell. They only care about nature in so far as how much of it they can use for grazing their herds. Also, if you think it actually matters if someone is liberal or conservative, or who they vote for to the powers that be, you are so deep in the matrix, that there is little hope that you would recognize the truth and where we are being led as a nation if you saw it. Its public land that belongs to all Americans. The government doesnt even recognize that the land I hold deed to and pay taxes on belongs to me. How do I know this? I was specifically told, by government, that I am free to camp on my property only two weeks per year. Then by your own argument, the ranchers have no moral or legal right to destroy the land with their cattle grazing. Lets be honest, they are doing this because they are not getting their way and able to do what they want with the protected land, which is destroy the ecosystem and wildlife for their own profit. This may shock you, but there are vast numbers of people here in the west who actually want our natural environment protected and are tired of the ranching cartel. Have you done the land patten process? Not exactly familiar with that. Got 50 acres that is a combination of 10 mining claims which were platted all around 1900. The county combined them and allowed 1 building permit. So how do these guys exit stage left without ending up behind bars? John 12:24 The founding fathers and their supporters were seen as rebels/trouble makers because the majority of people still considered themselves SUBJECTS of the king. We have come full circle were the herd now censors itself. As far as Im concerned he is controlled opposition and I think it would be in the interest of any people who wish to become free of tyrannical control to do it in any fashion possible, otherwise you will be accepting some crazy concept such as FREE SPEECH ZONES. Get out of the internet and start organizing among yourselves. The so called alternative internet is no more. Did you really think the control freaks and criminals that have stolen power are going to let you have your own communication and news outlet? True, the founders were 18th century RADICALS and today the ruling elite portray those holding the founders principles as being 21st century REACTIONARIES, i.e. right wing extremism espousing inalienable rights for individuals and sovereignty. Thats why labels depend on the context and are largely BS, used for neurolinguistic programming designed to illicit knee-jerk reactions in those who have lost the ability to think critically and outside the indoctrination frameworks. To answer your question on how to wake up enough people, IMO, those of us who are awake need to shake off the political correctness leashes and work together so, yep, network as you suggest outside the squawking internet echo chambers. Thats what its coming to anyway with increasing censorship and deeper infowar infiltration. If TPTB also give the public a series of sharp painful economic pokes that would force some more eyes open, that and some kind of Mother Nature blow back that results in more people sickened by the deadly brew of GMOs, toxins, vaccines, and geoengineering. They have to connect the dots, though. History has proven that 10-12% of the population is all that is needed to start a meaningful movement. If you cant find it in yourself to stop paying into the very system you oppose, why bother opposing it in the first place? You DO have a choice and the article above spells it out as clear as it can possibly be, and even gives you examples of people NOT paying into the system. This is the problem. The entire solution can be dropped into peoples laps and they are STILL too lazy, too selfish, too absorbed in their personal ideology to make any use of it. So maybe you dont deserve freedom, because you think it is like everything else, a commodity to be given to you and consumed The worst thing the good can do against evil is nothing. Using the corrupt courts does not work. Protesting peacefully is laughed at. Actually, we did achieve revolution through mostly peaceful means. The colonies were becoming independent economically, socially, politically, and through the possession of their own means of production, banking, etc. It was only when this independence became real that the idea of armed resistance was possible. And it was only because of this real independence that armed resistance worked. Stop looking at history and reality like a 12 year old boy, do the research and look at what really happened. The feds cannot legally own state property- this is where it all begins. And the feds have no jurisdiction on this property. Read the law of the constitution. Be quiet. It is a CIA rebellion. The New World Order is here. Ammon Bundy is of the Beast. Which is why the FBI is not doing anything, same as 9/11. If it doesnt pass the smell test, it is probably NWO. This is futile. The government is going to kill 90% of Americans in WW3. The day of the next false flag using a nuke and blamed on Iran, America will be nuked and invaded by Russia, China and the SCO. This is the war of Armageddon and you can know it is now because of Planet X and the toxic chemtrails that hide it every day globally. Planet X will end the war when it goes around the sun and reworks the earth. Yes I agree with everything you say about the BLM destroying our natural resources and using the land as business, and selling it off to the highest bidder. I am not a fan of the BLM. In fact, I have been involved in trying to stop them from exterminating the native wolf populations, rounding up wild horses for slaughter, etc., all at the demand of the ranchers! These two groups work very closely together to destroy the land. These people are not revolutionaries, nor are they good stewards of the land. They want the land to use as they see fit for their grazing herds, which destroys the ecosystem and wildlife just as the lumber industry or gas oil or any other business. There are no good guys here. I will read the links, Lewie, thanks. I am not a fan of the BLM or the feds and know full well how they are destroying our land and selling it off. I have been involved in trying to stop this where I live. I am, however, no fan of how the ranchers destroy the land either. They are anything but good stewards. I really dont have much of an opinion on this. Except to say I hope no one engages in violence to further their agenda. I was taught to mind my own business and this is definitely none of my business. I do find it interesting that so many are calling for a violent solution to a problem that has not yet turned violent. Does make me wonder how many citizens were on-board for the burning of the Branch Davidians. I agree with you here, Lewie. The calls on the progressive websites for a violent suppression of the non-violent occupation are chilling. No more chilling than Red Team sites calling for military operations in the Middle East. Violence and bloodlust every political direction. MYOB is the only acronym needed: I wish both parties would find it and like matter hitting antimatter theyd both cease to exist as political parties. If its too late, why even bother pecking away at your computer to disparage other peoples ideas, suggestions, and proposals? Sounds more like YOU are part of the problem. Supporting people trying to take on a trillion dollar/million man army who have no plan and nothing behind them to sustain what appears otherwise a psyop instead of getting up and building alternatives seems to be precisely the sort of trap the Feds would lay out for restless people. The reason we are in this situation is because Americans including you have the minds of 12 year old boys. You have no clue how the powers that be TOOK this power, and you have no clue on how to take it back. You think you can just run around going pew pew pew and all the bad guys will disappear. This aint Hollywood! The article above is citing MANUALS YOUR OWN GOVERNMENT IS USING AGAINST YOU. Your plan is to just go out and shoot people? That sounds like what the Feds would love for everyone to do, because they are READY for that! What they arent ready for is people coming up with a coherent, incremental plan that will take power back while denying them an opportunity to capitalize on their strengths. Like a typical American, you want results now. No patience or vision for the future, just instant satisfaction today. Again, exactly what the corporations and the Feds would love for you to think. 
1	In a study published Thursday that looked into the most prevalent uses of the groundbreaking technology, researchers from Northwestern University confirmed that the majority of time machine owners are primarily using their devices in order to get a couple more hours of sleep. Among those individuals who have designed and assembled a fully operational machine that is capable of transporting them through the fabric of space and time, we found that most did so as a means of catching up on sleep, lead researcher Jessica Farber told reporters, who noted that time travelers regularly forgo the exploration of historically significant or pivotal time periods in favor of conveying themselves back a few hours from the present so that they can curl up in their bed or futon and enjoy a little extra rest. Despite the fact that these intrepid individuals possess the previously unfathomable ability to roam amongst the dinosaurs, prevent the Kennedy assassination, or reunite with a deceased loved one, we found that even when they vault themselves centuries into the past or future, most of them have no greater ambition than bringing along a sleeping bag to Ancient Rome or to the Neo-American Republic of 2500 in order to take a quick cat nap and then return to the present day feeling refreshed and energized. The study also found that 100 percent of time machine owners have on at least one occasion used their apparatus to visit a fast food restaurant at a point in time before it ceased offering a popular menu item.

Cracks in the lunar mantle between craters Tycho and Stevinus have spread and deepened considerably since first detection, said NASA researcher Marc Robinson, adding that a viscous liquid substance had been observed seeping out from the moons core. It appears as if something is almost purposefully tearing through the layers of rock from the inside. At press time, the hatchling had sunk its talons into the Earth and flown off. 
2	Nancy Pelosi Picks A Fight With Ben Carson, Immediately Gets Crushed Nancy Pelosi of a prime example of the type of politician Donald Trump is referring to as part of the DC Swamp. Pelosi married early into a lot of money and used her earnings to buy influence in DC and a seat in Congress in San Francisco. In a stunning act of hypocrisy, she had the nerve to call Ben Carson, Donald Trumps choice to run for HUD, Housing and Urban Development a disconcerting and disturbingly unqualified choice. There is no evidence that Dr. Carson brings the necessary credentials to hold a position with such immense responsibility and impact on families and communities across America, she continued. The country deserves someone with relevant experience to protect the rights of homeowners and renters. Actually, what the country really needs is fewer career politicians and more hard-working Americans who have excelled in the real world. One of the primary reasons Trump earned the support of Americans throughout the country was he understood what it took to get off the ground in our nation. What do you think? Will Trump and Carson do more for this country than Pelosi ever did?

1	The website TVFighter announced Friday that its weekly recap of the show Fringe had received a record-high 25,000 hits from readers who might as well be dead. 'After each episode, I like to check the recap just to stay on top of everything, plus the message board is a great way to touch base with other fans,' said 32-year old Mike Puleo, who, given his decision to read about a TV program immediately after watching it, has clearly lost his will to live. 'I've made some pretty good friends that way. Sometimes me and another guy or two will be on there for hours, commenting back and forth about what's happening with the show. It's one of my favorite things on the Internet.' While acknowledging the recaps occasionally contain 'serious mistakes' and are not terribly well written, the man whose existence is devoid of any meaning or value of any kind said reading them was 'still better than nothing.' 
3	Human Rights Ignored Amid NATOs War in UkraineTony Cartalucci The Grad rocket cannot be targeted, so shooting it into a town full of civilians, with no specific military objective, violates the laws of war. These words were found in a 2011 Human Rights Watch (HRW) document titled, Libya: Rocket Attacks on Western Mountain Towns Grads Striking Civilian Areas, one of many reports ceaselessly cited by the United Nations and in turn, NATO as part of justifying a military intervention in the North African nation. At the time, accusations of indiscriminate bombardment of populated areas by air and artillery, and the use of punitive squads to detain, beat, torture, and/or arbitrary arrest citizens served as the rhetorical and legal foundation of NATOs humanitarian war. In fact, the text of UN Security Council resolutions 1970 and 1973 sound like in fiction, what is taking place verbatim before the eyes of the world in Ukraine today: Deploring the gross and systematic violation of human rights, including the repression of peaceful demonstrators, expressing deep concern at the deaths of civilians, and rejecting unequivocally the incitement to hostility and violence against the civilian population made from the highest level of the Libyan government. And: Stressing the need to hold to account those responsible for attacks, including by forces under their control, on civilians. Yet even in 2011, after NATO succeeded in passing its resolutions, it itself promptly violated them both by arming terrorists and targeting the Libyan government in what was clearly not the mere implementation of a no-fly-zone but rather a proxy war waged by NATO in the air and its terrorist forces on the ground fought to carry out regime change in favor of Western interests. So flagrantly did the West abuse the cause of human rights to advance its own insidious political agenda that it permanently undermined the Wests ability to again cite human rights to likewise invade and overthrow the government of Syria next. It is no surprise, then, that even with the same international organizations like Human Rights Watch meticulously documenting, almost verbatim the same crimes against humanity NATO cited in its intervention in Libya, now taking place in Ukraine perpetrated by the regime in Kiev, NATO is not only disinterested in intervening to stop them, but is in fact, the principle sponsor facilitating Kievs war upon the Ukrainian people. Indeed, in HRWs report titled, Ukraine: Unguided Rockets Killing Civilians Stop Use of Grads in Populated Areas, it is stated explicitly that (emphasis added): The use of indiscriminate rockets in populated areas violates international humanitarian law, or the laws of war, and may amount to war crimes. Grads are unguided rockets that cannot be targeted accurately, and are often fired in salvos from multi-barrel rocket launchers to saturate a wide area. Human Rights Watch called on all parties to the conflict in eastern Ukraine, particularly Ukrainian government forces, to stop using Grad rockets in or near populated areas because of the likelihood of killing and wounding civilians. Insurgent forces should minimize the risk to civilians under their control by avoiding deploying forces and weapons in densely populated areas. HRW the goes on to document its investigation into several incidents in which Kiev and its indiscriminate use of grad rockets on populated areas left scores of dead civilians in their wake. HRW also notes that the Kiev regime has denied both specific attacks and the general tactic of using grad rockets despite HRW monitors observing otherwise. To make matters worse, HRWs conclusions in Libya generally were predicated upon interviews of witnesses and even second-hand reports from dubious anti-government political groups. In Ukraine, HRW is observing first hand the use of this weapon system on Ukraines population to which NATO has responded with only additional, stalwart support for the perpetrators. In addition to grad rockets, the regime in Kiev has also deployed immense ballistic missiles topped with 1,000 pound (450kg) warheads against its own population. CNN had reported not only Kievs use of OTR-21 Tochka ballistic missiles, but also the fact that Kievs NATO backers had refused to disclose additional information about the atrocity amid a blatant cover up. Several analysts interviewed by CNN noted the bias the West was exhibiting by neither exposing the atrocity nor condemning the Kiev regime for it. In sharp contrast, many may remember the feigned indignation of the West when allegedly the Libyan government fired Scud missiles during the closing days of the Libyan conflict. According to the Telegraph in its article, Col Gaddafi fires scud missile at rebel territory as Nato braces itself for final violent showdown, one Western official claimed: That it didnt hit anything or kill anyone is not the point. Its a weapon of mass destruction that Col Gaddafi is willing to train on his own people. For NATO and its stable of media outfits and politicians, Libyas use of ballistic missiles was considered the use of weapons of mass destruction against Libyas own people, while Ukraines use of ballistic missiles is a matter to be covered up and spun. Such a revelation regarding NATOs response to blatant war crimes by its proxy regime in Kiev from CNN a Western corporate media outlet illustrates that not only is Kiev committing in reality the atrocities NATO cited in fiction to justify its intervention in Libya, but also that NATO itself is helping Kiev continue committing these war crimes. By providing Kiev with both political impunity and direct material support that has incrementally expanded since the conflict began earlier this year, such atrocities will only escalate as hostilities grind on. The Wests constant deferral to international norms when condemning the actions it provokes of other nations through its own belligerence reveals the depths of hypocrisy and depravity within which Western foreign policy dwells. If what the West practices, including the selective enforcement and violation of human rights whenever it suits its political agenda constitutes international norms, then perhaps it is time for new norms.

1	In an explosive performance Sunday night, small forward Carmelo Anthony hustled all over the court, leaping for rebounds, diving for loose balls, and erupting for 36 points while the rest of the Nuggets and Pacers players watched the exciting conclusion of the AFC Championship game. 'If they're going to leave me open beyond the three-point line, I'm going to make those shots every time,' said Anthony, who started slowly by missing his first six field goal attempts, but eventually caught his stride as players and coaches huddled around a small courtside television. 'If I pick my spots and am patient, I can take over any game.' Anthony was eventually ejected when his loudly squeaking basketball shoes distracted a referee, causing him to miss the Jets sacking Ben Roethlisberger in the end zone for a safety.

'Our study indicates that these men are lacking high-endurance body washes, five-bladed razors, and practical yet sporty urban-utility vehicles with antilock brakes and strong, contemporary styling,' said Jonathan Gabrus, head of football statistics at ESB. 'It seems like the only way to get the message out is to constantly remind these people using short, persuasive video clips featuring flashy editing and catchy jingles.'

1	Calling the three-time Olympians recent arrest for driving under the influence a blatant violation of the organizations code of conduct, USA Swimming reportedly banned Michael Phelps Monday from having any direct or indirect contact with water for six months. We take these latest infractions very seriously and they require significant consequences; therefore, over the next six months, Mr. Phelps will be barred from having any personal or professional interactions with water, said USA Swimming executive director Chuck Wielgus in a statement to the media, citing the suspensions stipulations that Phelps refrain from drinking, showering, or partaking in any sort of activity that puts him in close proximity to the liquid over the next 24 weeks. Theres been some precedent with other athletes who were banned from going near any body of water for two to three months for similar transgressions, but seeing as this is Mr. Phelps second offense, he has to be punished accordingly. If he slips up, hell never touch water again. At press time, Phelps was making preparations to drain all the water remaining in his bodys 37.2 trillion cells. 
3	New Study: Researchers Invent Mind-Reading Machine that Reads Thought ProcessBy Amando Flavio The research team from the University of Oregon, United States, are said to have developed a system that can read peoples thoughts via brain scans, and rebuild the faces they were visualizing in their heads. Lead researchers, Brice Kuhl and Hongmi Lee reportedly used artificial intelligence (AI) that analyzed brain activity in an attempt to reconstruct one of a series of faces that participants saw. Tech Worm reports that the result was not exact, but the AI got close. According to how the machine was able to read the human thought, the researchers created images directly from memories using a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine, machine learning software, and some hapless human test participants. The researchers then put the test participants in the MRI machine, showing them several hundred faces. The program had access to real-time MRI data from the machine, as well as a set of 300 numbers that described each face. They covered everything from skin tone to eye position. As the MRI machine detected the movement of blood around the brain, the assumed conclusion was that the movement equals brain activity. The program thenanalyzed these movements of blood in reaction to the different points, learning how a particular brain reacts to known stimuli. The AI was then put to the test with a few hundred examples incorporated into its algorithm. The participants were again shown a face, but this time the program did not know anything about the numbers describing it. The only thing it had to go on was the MRI data that described brain activity as the person saw the face. The AI learned to match blood flow over time, which explained the brain activity with facial features seen by the subjects in the MRI machine, spluttering out rough images of what the subjects were seeing. The resulting images had a dream-like quality, with blurred edges and shifts in skin tone. The images look like the kind of vague renderings a person might see in their own brain. But the machine has the ability for getting the facial expressions right, and other features, such asan upturned nose or an arched eyebrow seemed to translate faithfully from mind to machine. To provide some specific numbers data on the programs success rate, the researchers showed the strange reconstructions to another set of participants and asked them questions relating to skin tone, gender and emotion. The group responded correctly; that described the original faces at a higher rate than random chance, which proves that the AI interpretations provide relatively accurate data. Mr Kuhl further said that their machines cannot read peoples minds without their cooperation. He was quoted as saying: You need someone to play ball. You cant extract someones memory if they are not remembering it, and people most of the time are in control of their memories. The research team wants to take their study further. They are currently working on getting their participants to see a face, hold it in their memory, and then get the AI to reconstruct it based on the persons memory of what the face looked like.

3	9 Weird Things About The NYC And NJ Bombs That Will Make You Say HmmmmBy Daisy Luther Some things just dont add up. Trust me, you wont even need to don your tinfoil because none of this is outrageous. 1 First, nobody died. Dont get me wrong. Im totally thrilled about that, but you have to ask yourself why? With 29 people injured there were obviously a fair number of people around. Yet everyone was well enough to be discharged from thehospital within hours of the blast. Was the bomb just positioned badly? Or was it designed to cause injury, but not too much injury? 2 They sure found the mystery bomber quickly and efficiently.The last time I had to deal with the federal government, I ended up in an endless loop of phone transfers, when no one could figure out the right person to send me to. But they brought their game to a whole new level of efficiency with this that makes you wonder how anyone ever gets away with anything. The bomb fragments and the unexploded pressure cooker were examined and analyzed, a fingerprint was found, a match to the print was located on the system, and Ahmed KhanRahami was identified. Then, the posters were produced, he was located due to a member of the public spotting him, and was then captured. All within 40 hours of the bomb blast and even though he was not on a terror watch list orflagged as a possible terrorist. Fast work. 3 Although experts say this type of thing is usually a group activity, no other persons of interest are being sought.Experts say that the chances of Rahami NOT having assistance with logistics, etc., wasinfinitesimally small.Mike Rogers, former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said, Normally the way this works, you have a cell doing logistics, bomb-making and assembly, and an operational one. Despite all of this, the New York Police Department said they are not actively looking for anyone else in connection with the incidents. (source) 4 The culprit was just hanging around, asleep in a doorway like a homeless person, waiting to get busted.Rahami was spotted sleeping in a shop doorway and police were called. He shot at an officer and then ambled off down the street, shooting at a police car before being wounded and taken into custody. Now, I have two major issues with this. What kind of terrorist decides to curl up and take a nap in a shop doorway in an area he knows the police will be looking for him? Secondly, we all know the police have hair triggerschildren get shot for holding a BB gun, the caregiver of an autistic man got shot while laying down, and an unarmed drivers got shot in front of his kidbut this guy sets off bombs, shoots two officers, shoots up a police car, and then wanders down the road holding a gun and he only gets wounded in the shootout? 5 The placement of these bombs wasnt very strategic.Usually, someone who sets off random bombs in the name of terror wants to do as much damage and inflict as much fear as possible. If these attacks were designed to maim and kill, why not plant a bomb when there are crowds of people around? When you are less likely to be singled out by CCTV walking alone at night shortly before the device explodes? It makes no sense does it? Terrorist attacks invariably aim for maximum impact with minimum risk. This was a complete reversal of that M.O. 6 ISIS wants nothing to do with this one. The Minnesota stabbings that took place on the same day have been claimed by the Islamic State as an act committed by a soldier of the Islamic State. There have been no claims at all that Rahamihas links to ISIS. 7 It wasnt a very good bomb. The backpack with five bombs inside was found in a wastebasket around 9:30 p.m. on Sunday outside a neighborhood pub in Elizabeth, about 16 miles from New York City. Two men found the backpack about 500 feet from a train trestle and alerted police, officials said. (source). One of those bombs exploded as a police robot tried to defuse it, yet the others didnt. That must have been one very lame bomb if it couldnt even blow the others packed into a bag with it apart or trigger the explosive component in the remaining four so they also blew up. 8 Somehow, the bomber didnt really raise any eyebrows until now. Rahami was known to have travelled to Afghanistan, his home country, and also to Pakistan.This was known because he applied in 2011 to bring his Pakistani wife into the United States and the application was approved in 2012. So an Afghan national with a police record for trying to stab his sister-in-law traveled to Afghanistan and Pakistan spending months at a time there and it never raised a glance from any agency anywhere? The TSA was satisfied he was visiting family. Obviously too busy harassing cancer patients. Despite all of that, there was no real suspicion about this guy until he was suddenly a major terrorist. 9 What do we need to be distracted from? This always has to be the question when these situations take over the news. And the list is long, my friends. This freakshow of an election, the fact that Russia is accusing the US of starting WW3 in Syria, the upgraded effort to take away guns and personal medical decisions, the newest WikiLeakswe could go on and on about the things no one wants us paying attention to. See what I mean? Weird stuff. Lots of weird stuff. Im not saying it never happened or that this dude wasnt a terrorist or that someone else was responsible or that this was a false flag. Im saying that there are holes in the official story that one could drive an 18-wheeler truck through. But the official story sure does seem a bit questionable. Or maybeRahami is just so bad at being a terrorist that the Islamic State doesnt want to claim him as one of theirs. Daisy Luther is a freelance writer and editor.

The caveat being astute researchers know Wikileaks is a CIA operation and ASSange with his Rothchild lawyer is an asset. They leak for a purpose to create division and smoke, limited hangouts, and Psy 0ps. Wikileaks was used first as cover for the Arab Spring operationsand Soros had a hand in that too.

If you missed the Greenwald Sibel Edmonds saga Ill have to fill you in some day. Entertaining in that surreal kinda way, best to grab a good bucket of buttered popcorn and a beer first. LOL just read the article by Rajiva and am now updated on Assanges deceit, which appears more MOSSAD than CIA. doc b. Thanks for the input Drbhelthi. If youre interested, VT also had an article on Assanges refusal to acknowledge whistle blower Andrea Davison also seeking asylum nearby in Ecuador.

Drbhelthi, its been a long time since I read Rajivas article, I assume she included this Assange quote given to the Belfast Telegraph 7/19/10: Im constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9/11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies, for war or mass financial fraud. Daisy honey, dont you get all upset over this latest fear porn.cmon!! Deflection is everything! Its all a big game, dont forget Obama and the Clintons attended Bilderberg confabs which explains evvvvvveeerrrrything Remember, the USA has survived many, many, insurgencies and well survive this too. they have drones now, and we dont. Does that concern you? You can buy a drone, quite good ones Chinese made nowadays for a fair price. IMOThis has the same stink FBI collusive hubris as Boston or Sandy Hook etc etc etc countingfollowing the False Flag formula. precisely following Ye Olde Hegelian Dialect as their time-tested sorcery of the one size-fitz-all machinations of Problem- Reaction- Solution of the 0.01%delivering the consequential intended resultsbasically peeing on the peons so these parasites live in a separate reality of luxury. Yet it all pales compared to the stink of the fake holocaust. This article solves its self, and is therefore disappointing. 3 Although experts say this type of thing is usually a group activity, no other persons of interest are being sought. 5 The placement of these bombs wasnt very strategic. indicates an amateur did this alone. 6 ISIS wants nothing to do with this one. How does it help ISIS propaganda campaign to take credit for a badly placed badly built bomb that killed no one by amateur with no plan who was immediately captured? 8 Somehow, the bomber didnt really raise any eyebrows until now. This is Donald Trumps point. Our Congress has allowed a flood of immigrants into this country with no vetting, and no idea who they are or why they are here, and our law enforcement is so overwhelmed they cant possibly handle the volume of whacked out muslim extremists that Congress has flooded our cities with. Maybe you should stop raising your eyebrow and going HMMMM and put aside your insane hate against the Republicans and try listening to what they are saying. 9 What do we need to be distracted from? I dont know but Ill be bummed if some amateur makes me miss Hillary Clintons reanimated corpse from having its next public seizure. 10) If he wasnt on the watch list how did the finger print ID the guy.hmmmm Citizenship application, mid-East travel. They probably had his prints ever since he first came from Afghanistan. Maybe he had a TLC license (limo driver license) in NYS, which fingerprints are taken. FBI can locate anyone by just by there cell phone signals and other people around them, at any time even going back before events occur. Believe me cell phones are people trackers. I do believe this guy was delusional too, just like the Uni Bomber who worked alone. Because it was staged just like the others informed intelligent people already know this, from day 1. Just watch MSM all the same numbers, symbols, signs are there along with the same old crisis actors their fake blood bullshit. Simple. When are they coming for my gun? The fact is, if you ask who benefits, it is the gun makers whose sales spike after each such incident, whether it is guns or bombs. The bombs rarely do any harm..guns almost always. The bombs that do a lot of harm are the ones the Deep State uses to blow up large buildings and then eviscerates our civil liberties. Surprising that you have a gun! Let me put it this way:; since 9/11 over 400,000 Americans have died from guns, 99+% more than have died from bombs, including the WTC attack. Bombs as a terror weapons has a bad record in the US,. as most bombings have killed no one, and the worst have killed 1 or 2. Of course I do not have a gun! No rational person has guns, since they put you much more at risk than they protect. But I like to taunt the idiots who confused blocking violent people from obtaining guns (ubc) with confiscating weapons. The state controls the big bombs: Hiroshima/Nakasaki, Dresden, as well as the demolition bombs for 9/11. Small bombs are more likely to kill the predator than the prey. Note the recent bombings killed no one. Since the bombings, over 80 Americans have been murdered by gun fire. Why would any law-abiding citizen object to a law which filters out violent people from gun ownership? Well, 85% of gun owners support ubc.as well as 3/4 of NRA members. Who opposes: the NRA, the gun makers, the paid shills, and their useful idiots, the 1 in 9 Americans who thinks that banning felons, etc from gun ownership is an infringement on their rights. The Harvard study goes further, looking at the overall homicide rate in states with the highest number of gun owners, compared to those with the lowest. Researchers found that the rate of all homicides is two times higher in states with the highest number of gun owners. The research destroys another common NRA talking point, which claims that if people dont use guns to kill, theyll just use something else. The new study, which will be published in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine, compliments a 2013 study, which found that increased gun ownership corresponds to an overall increased rate of non stranger homicides. While the number of stranger related homicides remains virtually the same in states with high gun ownership, the number of people killed by someone they know was shown to increase dramatically, as the number of gun owners increased. The Harvard study also supports the conclusions of a 2014 Boston University study. Another Harvard/Northwestern study, the largest even done, shows that Americas gun stock has increased by 70m guns since 1994. At the same time, the percentage of Americans who own guns decreased slightly from 25% to 22%. If it were the case that homeowners without guns were being invaded, murdered, etc by armed criminals, but in fact, there is no data to support such a claim. Each year, less than 100 homeowners are murdered by strangers (4,500 are done by family and acquantenances) and less than 100 home invaders are killed. Since 4 of 5 American homes is unarmed, why isnt there a surge in strranger-murders in these households? Another Harvard study found that homes with guns have 270% more gun deaths than homes without. When people buy guns to protect themselves, they are actually making themselves and their families less safe. When a gun ceases to be a tool of self-defense and becomes instead a risk to your family, its time to use your reason and bury the hatchet. When a gun becomes more a threat than a tool of self-defense, no sane person would have one in the home. NPR is reporting on a new study which shows that of the 265 million guns in the US, half are owned by only 3%. 7;.7 million own an average of 17 guns. The reality is that in the last 30 years,fewer and fewer households choose to have guns. A generation ago, over 50% had guns; today Fewer people have guns today than yesteryear but more people are shot and killed is the exact reason why guns are not the root of the problem. In a perfect world no one owns a gun but in the cesspool of existence that we live in today youd have to be a fool not to own and have knowledge on using a gun. I agree to a certain point with the author that the apprehension of Rahami by the authorities seems a bit too easy and thus questionable as if it was too good to be true speculation. However, to me this terrorist attack is not so suspicious of government or elitist involvement, but more indicative of it being done by an amatuer that did a bad job of it and that is why ISIS does not take responsibility for it and why the authorities apprehended him so quickly although after he committed the heinous act and had been on the radar for two or so years. That last part is a bit of a failure or perhaps he was just left to dangle by them intentionally. That said, the speculation the author describes is more about the fact that because more people are waking up to the obvious observations that 9-11 was no amateur job. Just look how 9-11 and the resulting 16 years of war and growth of ISIS and the governments efforts to create division amongst the populace at every level of our culture and society that has distracted us from the fact that they have brought the world to the brink of World War 3. Now this debacle of an election that we face with the populace being brought to such cognitive dissonance that it simply finds apathy, complacency, and compliance to be its only coping mechanisms in facing the NWO coup that is occurring as the lapdog politicians of the elite powers that be that they adhere to are marketing it all as truth and patriotism to cover their psychopathic greed for power and control in reshaping the global community for them to maximize profit and thin the population. We are being forced to choose between either brown shirt neocon fascist Trump or Corporatist neoliberal fascist Hillary. Both are two poisons yet we are to believe one is better for us than the other. So much for the notion that things like this cannot happen in America because it is indeed happening right now. Anyone that says so, as I and millions of others do, are simply marginalized as tin foil wearing conspiracy theorists. So by all means, Hiel Hillary (or her Trump card) and onward with the Bush Cabal promise to be successful in establishing the New World Order. well written, Daisy L. Im not religious at all but there is a good word in the bible that describes the US-Israeli axis in the west. An abomination. The basket of deplorables seem to have congregated in the US government and its agencies Since becoming aware of the truth of 9/11, Ive become entirely cynical. These EVENTS, bombings and most shootings, or whatevers, to me are false flags. Or as Ronald Reagan said (among other sobering-government quotes), Government is the problem. They sure found the mystery bomber quickly and efficiently He was on camera at 2 locations, one in Chelsea and one nearby. (near the second device) Posters were made, his image on TV nonstop in NY. Someone then recognized him and called authorities What kind of terrorist decides to curl up and take a nap in a shop doorway in an area he knows the police will be looking for him? A fat, out of shape idiot, thats who. He was on camera, he also shot a cop (cop had a vest on) He will rot in jail for the rest of his fat dumb life. His own father reported him to the FBI. Not everything is a conspiracy, sure we all have thoughts, and think about angles of possibilities, but we all dont have egos that make us write articles based on our imaginations. But hey click bait is click bait isnt it? I just hope there are not more idiots associated with this bombing who will carry out more attacks. But of course there are more of these terrorists in the US plotting something. Only time will tell. Ill tell you the biggest reason to believe this is phony terrorism: the assertion that Tannerite was used to make at least one of these bombs. I cant believe no one else has pointed this out, but Tannerite is essentially useless to makers of improvised explosives, unless theyre willing to be a suicide bomber. The reason being that you cant set it off by lighting a fuse or with the hot filament in a light bulb its a well known fact that Tannerite, which was developed and is sold specifically for use as a target for long range shooters, will only detonate or explode when hit by a fairly high velocity/high powered rifle. Which is the only reason the government allows it to be sold to the general public. You could set it off with blasting caps, but the christmas light hooked up to a cellphone fuzing described by the authorities wouldnt work. Another major reason to suspect this is a hoax is the pressure cooker bomb itself when it comes to common items suitable for use as a bomb casing, a pressure cooker is actually a poor choice because its only designed to hold about 15 psi. When a bomb is constructed using low intensity explosives like Tannerite or gun powder, 2 factors determine the force of the blast: the amount of explosive used, and the amount of internal pressure the bomb casing will hold, before it finally ruptures. A pressure cooker will hold more than 15 psi, but nowhere near enough to get the maximum explosive yield out of the huge amount of gunpowder a pressure cooker will hold it might make it to 200 psi, but the goal would be at least 20,000 psi. Some people claim the pressure cooker bomb was invented by the FBI so wannabe terrorists would waste their efforts, and that might be true, because there are other household items that would be both more effective, and much less suspicious than a pressure cooker at a public event. 
3	Obama Declares Global CyberwarStephen Lendman, Contributor Strategy includes homeland tyranny, fear-mongering, saber rattling, hot wars, proxy ones, drone ones, domestic political ones, geopolitical ones, financial ones, anti-populist ones, sanctions, subversion, sabotage, targeted assassinations, mass murder, cyberwar, and more. In May 2009, Obama prioritized cybersecurity. He called cyber-threats one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation. Americas economic prosperity in the 21st century will depend on cybersecurity. He ordered a top-to-bottom review. A Cyberspace Policy Review report followed. He waged cyberwar on Iran. He did so cooperatively with Israel. In spring 2010, Iranian intelligence discovered Stuxnet malware contamination. The computer virus infected its Bushehr nuclear facility. At the time, operations were halted indefinitely. Israel was blamed. Washington was involved. Had the facility gone online infected, Irans entire electrical power grid could have been shut down. A more destructive virus called Flame malware is known. Internet security experts say its 20 times more harmful than Stuxnet. Irans military-industrial complex is targeted. So is its nuclear program. Maximum disruption is planned. Obama supports draconian cybersecurity bills. Passage threatens constitutional freedoms. Obamas waging war on humanity. Hes doing it multiple ways. Last October, he signed an executive order. It expanded military authority. It authorized cyberattacks. It redefined defense. Doing so lawlessly legitimizes aggression. In November, Presidential Policy Directive 20 followed. Its secret. It set guidelines for confronting cyberspace threats. Last fall, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta warned of a cyber Pearl Harbor. It could cause physical destruction and loss of life, he said. It could paralyze and shock the nation and create a new profound sense of vulnerability. US officials never lack for hyperbole. Fear-mongering is longstanding policy. So are Big Lies, false flags, and other pretexts for wars, other military actions, and disruptive ones. Cyberwar capability adds to Americas arsenal. Preemption adds another dirty tactic. In early February, US media reports headlined stepped-up cyberwar. Preemption is prioritized. Nation states, organizations, and individuals are fair game. US Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) has full operational control. Its a cyber hit squad. Its part of the US Strategic Command. Its based at Fort Meade, MD. General Keith Alexander serves as National Security Agency (NSA) director and US Cyber Command head. The New York Times cited a secret legal review. It affords Obama sweeping preemptive cyberattack powers. It permits him to order a preemptive strike if the United States detects (allegedly) credible evidence of a major digital attack looming from abroad. His word alone is policy. Corroborating evidence isnt needed. Efforts to protect classified and proprietary information are increasing. The Washington Post said wireless and technology giants are battling over a plan to create super Wi-Fi networks. The Wall Street Journal said Google, Microsoft and Amazon are competing to control cloud computing business. The Christian Science Monitor said preemptive cyberwar entered Americas arsenal. It nugded up along side other approved tactics and techniques. New policies govern how intelligence agencies work. Theyve been unrestrained before. Theyll have greater powers now. The New York Times said theyll be able to carry out searches of faraway computer networks for signs of potential attacks on the United States and, if the president approves, attack adversaries by injecting them with destructive code even if there is no declared war. Rules of engagement are classified. Effectively there are none. Cyber-warriors are freewheeling. Theyre unrestrained. Theyll operate anywhere globally. China is a target of choice. Its Americas main economic and geopolitical competitor. An unnamed US official said new cyberwar strategy is far more aggressive than anything used or recommended before. The gloves are off. Anything goes. Major disruptions can occur without firing a shot. Military and/or civilian power grids can be crippled. So can financial systems and communications networks. Another unnamed US official said cyberweapons are so powerful that they should be unleashed only by presidential order. Exceptions would be tactical strikes. Examples include disabling command and control as well as ground radar ahead of conventional strikes. At the same time, most cyberoperations are presidential prerogatives. Expect Obama to take full advantage. Extrajudicial operations are prioritized. Rule of law principles are spurned. Operational procedures have been in development for over two years. Theyre headlined now. They coming out when cyberattacks more often target US companies and critical infrastructure. An unnamed US power station was crippled for weeks. The New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal reported cyberattacks. Obama prioritizes preemption. Doing so has no legal standing. Self-defense alone is justified. Acting on suspicions without evidence is aggression. New rules serve Washington. Lawyers get marching orders. Theyre well paid to subvert accepted legal standards. Doing so doesnt change them. What constitutes reasonable and proportionate force resides in the eye of the aggressor. New guidelines exclude the Pentagon from defending US companies or individuals without presidential authority. Doing so is Homeland Securitys prerogative. The FBI has investigatory authority. Cybersecurity legislation remains stalled in Congress. Expect stepped up efforts for passage. Doing so will more greatly comprise freedom. Full-blown tyranny approaches. Its a hairs breadth away. Whistleblowers are targeted. Dissent is endangered. Theres no place to hide. Big Brothers expanding exponentially. Cyber-preemption adds greater police state power. On February 3, a Washington Post editorial headlined Cyberwar, out of the shadows, saying: US Cyber Command is expanding exponentially. Doing so is indicative of how conflict is moving toward center stage for the military, a domain similar to land, sea, air and outer space. Its heading America toward unchallenged dominance. In May 2000, the Pentagons Joint Vision 2020 called for full spectrum dominance over all land, surface and sub-surface sea, air, space, electromagnetic spectrum and information systems with enough overwhelming power to fight and win global wars against any adversary. Doing so includes nuclear weapons use preemptively. Non-nuclear countries and adversaries are fair game. Cyber Command includes: (1) Combat mission forces cooperatively with military units. (2) Protection forces to defend Pentagon networks. (3) National mission forces to head off threats to critical infrastructure. Theyll operate outside America. Theyll function anywhere if authorized. Theyll strike US adversaries preemptively. Rules of engagement arent clear. Public information is limited. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Policy need generous doses. If conflict in cyberspace is underway, said the Post, then it is important to sustain support for the resources and decisions to fight it, and that will require more candor. Expect little forthcoming from the most secretive administration in US history. Obamas first term prioritized homeland repression and lawless aggression. Imagine what he has in mind for term two.

2	Doctors Refuse To Perform Heart Transparent On Thug And Then Something TERRIBLE Happens According to recent reports, Anthony Stokes, a black teenager, was denied a heart treatment due to a lengthy record of criminal activity and violence. Stokes last crime included breaking into the home of an 81-year-old woman in Roswell, Georgia and firing shots at her in a robbery attempt. He then sped off in a high speed chase in a car he had stolen the same evening. The chase recklessly ran through 5 school zones, before Stokes eventually hit a pedestrian and died at the scene. This took place after he was lucky to receive a heart transplant, after the media cried racism in the decision to deny him one. He had a condition called dilated cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscle which is a common cause of heart failure. When he was admitted to the hospital, he was wearing an ankle monitor from a recent arrest. Doctors initially refused the transplant because Stokes had a history of noncompliance and they did not believe that he would take his medications or attend required follow-up appointments. Hes a young boy, his mother told reporters. Hes going to make mistakes, but I still think he deserves a second chance. That chance lasted 18 months until Stokes died due to his criminal behavior. 
1	Citing decades of repeated indignities and post-electoral trauma, Americans from across the political spectrum reported Wednesday that they were terrified at the prospect of making their voices heard in another nationwide vote. The U.S. electorate, whose choices on Nov. 4 will determine who occupies 36 spots in the Senate and all 435 seats in the House of Representatives, expressed a looming sense of dread that no matter what the outcome of their actions, it would be a cruel and degrading experience with painful repercussionsjust as its been year after year after year. When Americans go to the polls on Election Day, they will once again be in a state of abject fear, knowing exactly what kind of excruciating ordeal theyre in for, said Paula McDermott, a professor at Harvard Universitys Kennedy School of Government, adding that voters were not so much willing participants in the electoral process as they were victims trapped in an endless cycle of abuse. Nevertheless, they will elect a new set of lawmakers and brace themselves for the agony that awaits them, because this is what theyve learned to do. These are extremely damaged individuals, she continued. You can see it on their faces as they cast their ballots. McDermott pointed out that signs of past suffering are obvious among the voting public, ranging from their generalized anxiety while waiting in line at polling places to a tendency to sweat uncontrollably as they enter the booth. Moreover, she said, many are so overwhelmed by a flood of unbearable memories as they cast their ballots that they appear in a daze, as if attempting to numb themselves to the pain they know is coming. According to McDermott, many voters have become so beaten down by the recurring torment that they arrive early to their polling location, shut the voting booth curtain behind them, and mark their selections as quickly as they can just to get the horrific process over with as soon as possible. When I think back to past yearswhether its 86, 88, 94, 02, 04, 2010, or 2012I realize that pretty much every time Ive spoken up, Ive been badly hurt, said Dayton, OH resident Kellan Avery, adding that the mere thought of scanning a list of candidates and selecting one filled him with a profound sense of terror. You want to voice your opinion, you really do, but as soon as you say your piecewham!they slap you right back down again. And these people are supposed to be there for us. It justit breaks you down. And the thing is, it never ends, he added. The cycle just keeps going on and on. Do you have any idea how deeply that can devastate a person? Voters said they understood their obligation to further the democratic process, but observed that their efforts to stand up for themselves inevitably come back to haunt them. For some, even seeing campaign ads on television or hearing the words I approve this message reportedly triggers a wave of pain and guilt they are not prepared to deal with and had hoped never to experience again. Despite their fear and mistrust, most citizens still go through the motions of speaking up, even though they know they will be harmed, said McDermott, describing the ingrained behavior as a kind of coping mechanism that is almost like a reflex by now. After all these years, theyve learned to just put themselves through the paces no matter how brutal it is, deal with the consequences, and simply try to move on with their lives. This is all they know, she added. 
3	TSA Adds Full Background Check Prior to Travelselfnews Post Citing a desire to give 25% of travelers a lighter screening the TSA will be accessing public databases as well as government intelligence databases prior to you entering an airport. This will include prior travel history, car registration, and even employment information according to a report by The New York Times. Gaps in oversight are already being raised: It is unclear precisely what information the agency is relying upon to make these risk assessments, given the extensive range of records it can access, including tax identification number, past travel itineraries, property records, physical characteristics, and law enforcement or intelligence information. The measures go beyond the background check the government has conducted for years, called Secure Flight, in which a passengers name, gender and date of birth are compared with terrorist watch lists. Now, the search includes using a travelers passport number, which is already used to screen people at the border, and other identifiers to access a system of databases maintained by the Department of Homeland Security. This latest admission by the TSA should leave no doubt that all personal information that appears in any database has already been stored, cataloged, and is fully intended to be used in the most invasive manner possible, all in the name of national security. You are 100% guilty until proven innocent in the eyes of the surveillance state. It seems like the only difference between totalitarian regimes of the past and this one is that they no longer ask for your papers; they already have all of the information they need. H/T The Verge 
1	Sources from inside the U.S. Capitol are reporting that random groups of congressmen are currently walking through hallways, corridors, and foyers toward some location, often in groups of two, three, or four. Though their destination remains as yet unclear, the legislators have been seen walking up and down staircases, and have also been observed gesticulating with both their right and left arms, Beltway observers told reporters, adding that an assortment of congressional aides are typically trailing behind the various groups. Some clusters of congressmen are talking and joking with one another. Others are confidently striding through the Capitol. Occasionally they will lean in to one another and whisper something out of earshot of reporters and then slyly smile. We still dont know where they are going, though. At press time, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) was the only elected official seen walking by himself, with no one within 30 feet of him. 
2	HORRIBLE Sickness Leaves Paisley And Others Struggling To Wake Up, What They Did Despite It Will Blow You Away Wichita has been through a lot this week. One of the minor things that happened was at a Brad Paisley Concert. Brad is touring with Cam and Eric Paslay on a cross-country tour. The trio was all supposed to perform on Feb. 25. Instead only Paslay and Brad performed. All three of the tour mates contracted a bad case of the flu. Cam had to cancel due to her extreme symptoms, but Brad and Eric were able to push through the terrible illness and perform. It was obvious that both performers were struggling as they sang. They both deserve a medal. Eric made sure to have trash can directly off stage just in case he had to throw up. Luckily Eric did not have to use it and he raised the can up high to the crowd. He was extremely happy to not have to use the trashcan while performing. It was a huge victory for him that night and added comic relief where it was needed. The reason that the comic relief was needed is heartbreaking to hear. Wichita needs our prayers and thoughts. It is something that you hate to see, but we have become desensitized to it. It is the worst news to ever hear. There was a mass shooting in Wichita on Thursday before the show. It was heart breaking to hear about. The reporters at the show had to leave and come back in order to report on the tragedy. Paisley was asked what he was going to say when he was on stage. Brad knew that he could not ignore it and so he had to reference it. He said that he was immensely saddened by the incident but he was proud to be in atmosphere that he felt safe. He was surrounded by country loving folks. Paisley felt at home and wished that the families of the deceased could feel the same. Will you send your prayers?

Liberals Are Furious Recently, iconic Hollywood actor and director Clint Eastwood announced his support of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. He also expressed his lack of enthusiasm over the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Eastwood claims Trump is on to something because secretly everybodys getting tired of political correctness, kissing up. Thats the kiss-ass generation were in right now. Were really in a p***y generation. Everybodys walking on eggshells. We see people accusing people of being racist and all kinds of stuff. When I grew up, those things werent called racist, he continued. And then when I did Gran Torino even my associate said, This is a really good script, but its politically incorrect. And I said, Good. Let me read it tonight. The next morning, I came in and I threw it on his desk and I said, Were starting this immediately. Eastwood did acknowledge that Trump has a tendency to step out of line, but assured the public that this is only because Trump says whats on his mind. Eastwood then shared some of his own ideas for America. Id say get to work and start being more understanding of everybodyinstead of calling everybody names, start being more understanding, he concluded. But get in there and get it done. Kick ass and take names. And this may be my dad talking, but dont spend what you dont have. Thats why were in the position we are in right now. Thats why people are saying, Why should I work? Ill get something for nothing, maybe. What do you think of Eastwoods comments? 
1	Saying that he will never forget the events of that fateful day, local man Edgar Denton, 81, told reporters Friday that, five decades later, he could still recall exactly where he was and what he was doing the day he shot and killed former U.S. president John F. Kennedy. Everyone my age has a story about where they were when JFK was assassinated, and Im no exception, said Denton, emphasizing that his memories of the Friday morning in which he shouldered his M14 rifle, brought the presidential motorcade into his sights, and sent a bullet into the brain of the 35th president of the United States remain as vivid as ever. I remember I was in Dallas at the time. Specifically, I was positioned behind a fence at street-level in Dealey Plaza right when I gunned down the president. The image of everyone on the streets below panicking because I had just murdered the leader of the free world will stay with me for the rest of my life, Denton continued. Despite a full 50 years having passed since his covert assassination of a sitting U.S. president, Denton said that the day on which he killed Kennedy remains fresh in his mind, stressing that he could still recall, with complete clarity, the meticulous preparations he made in the minutes leading up to 12:30 in the afternoon on November 22, 1963. In fact, the gunman confirmed that he could recall with pinpoint accuracy the exact location of the concealed snipers nest he was standing in that morning as he patiently waited for Kennedys 1961 Lincoln Continental to turn onto Elm Street and enter into his crosshairs. The contract killer also maintained that he remembers hearing Secret Service director James J. Rowleys voice coming through his walkie-talkie giving him the go-ahead like it was yesterday. Furthermore, Denton, a former Green Beret and lifelong Freemason, told reporters that the passage of time has in no way dulled the immense emotional impact of learning that the president had been successfully killed by him, saying that these mental impressions continue to be as lucid for him today as they were on the very day he eliminated JFK. When Walter Cronkite came on TV and told the nation that JFK was dead, it almost didn't feel real, said Denton, recounting how he spent much of the historic afternoon inside a safe house, cleaning his rifle and thinking, The presidents been shot by me. Oh my God, the presidents been shot by me. But despite how surreal it all was at the time, right now I could walk you through exactly what happened that day: hastily making my way to the rear entrance of the the Dal-Tex building, having the CIA pick me up and congratulate me, accepting $50,000 in bearer bonds. I could even tell you word for word what I wrote on that telegram to Ho Chi Minh. Ill never forget rushing home and hugging my wife and kids and telling them that everything would be all right, added Denton, noting that he himself broke down into tears of joy upon realizing that the police had taken another suspect into custody. Denton, who said that his violent unseating of the president and the aftermath remain among his most coherent memories, explained that he will regularly describe in pitch-perfect detail the circumstances of the slaying to his grandchildren. However, the 81-year-old emphasized that JFKs death is far more than just a personal matter. Indeed, the hitman claimed that everyone who contributed to the plot has their own story about where they were when they received word that the extensively coordinated undertaking had been pulled off successfully, calling JFKs assassination the defining moment of a generation for everybody who participated in the murder of the 35th president. Those of us who worked for months to put an end to the presidents life will always remember where they were on that day, Denton said, referring to Dallas resident Abraham Zapruder, thenPostmaster General John A. Gronouski, and Vice President Lyndon Johnson, among many others. For everyone who conspired to execute the president of the United States in broad daylight, that day will always be part of our shared experience. Its definitely way more memorable than that whole thing with his brother, Denton added. Honestly, I barely recollect doing that one at all.

1	Forty-five minutes after sitting down with a cup of coffee and the USA Today crossword, local window fashions salesman Tom Dolan completed the puzzle's last three open squares and was filled with a sense of intellectual accomplishment. Though he admitted to consulting the Internet for the tougher clues, such as 'a Kentucky liquor aged in oak barrels,' Dolan, 38, credited the successful completion to his amazing ability to follow word-based clues. 'The clue said 'Charlie's' blank,' Dolan said. 'It took a little while, but I realized that it was 'Angels.' That was my Rosemary Stone for unlocking the rest of the puzzle.' Dolan's confidence in his superior cerebral faculties faltered slightly after he noticed the adjacent Sudoku grid, but then he realized that it was rated 'hard' and was immediately relieved of the pressure to solve it. 
2	Senate Votes On Trumps Muslim Ban Proposal Here Are The Results The Senate voted on Trumps proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the U.S. The Senate decided that they could not support the proposal. It is the sense of the Senate that the United States must not bar individuals from entering into the United States based on their religion, as such action would be contrary to the fundamental principles on which this Nation was founded. Sessions brought to light a very true point. We cannot labor under the illusion that these are simple binary decisions, its not as though every applicant is either clearly tied to terrorists on one hand or absolutely safe on the other. Many people are radicalized after they enter. How do we screen for that possibility if we cannot even ask on a persons views on religion and what it means for them as they carry out that religious view in the years to come? We cant stop the refugees from turning after they enter. So maybe we shouldnt let them in at all. Should we deny entrance of all Muslims to the U.S.? 
2	Watch Megyn Kelly React To Trump Shout During Victory Speech [VIDEO] In his victory speech on Tuesday following yet another group of primary wins, GOP frontrunner Donald Trump thanked his supporters. He also took the opportunity to give a dedicated shout out to Fox News Charles Krauthammer and Megyn Kelly. Trump solidified his position as the leader of the GOP race when he took Michigan and Mississippi. In his speech, he noted that the field of GOP candidates had reduced from 17 to four. Every single person that has attacked me has gone down, Trump commented, arguing that even his top opponents did not perform well in Tuesdays primaries. Theres only one person who did well tonightDonald Trump. He then went on to claim that he was surprised by the positive feedback from Fox News talent. Even Megyn Kelly said, Boy Donald Trump really did well tonight, Trump commented. Thank you, Megyn, thank you! That was very unusualI was shocked actually to hear that, but that was very nice. Trump also commented that Charles Krauthammer was also very, very nice. Its about time, Ive been waiting like five years, Charles, Trump laughed. What do you think of Trumps comments? Will you be voting for him? 
1	Only hours after assuming control of the deeply troubled country in a bloody coup, members of the United Deliverance Front admitted Monday that they might have made a 'huge mistake' by seizing power in Zambia. New leaders reluctantly convene a cabinet meeting. 'After months of combat, the United Deliverance Front has this morning taken command of one of Africa's most beleaguered nations, installing itself as the supreme ruler over 11 million desperate, ailing, and angry citizens,' UDF leader and new head of state Uwimana Kowrt said. 'Dear Jesus, what the hell were we thinking?' According to Kowry, who claimed that plans to overthrow the ruling administration 'made sense at the time,' celebration was cut short Monday morning when the victorious rebels realized that they were now in charge of a country crippled by drought and widespread food shortages. 'For years, we watched our beloved homeland suffer from strife and infirmity, knowing that something drastic had to be done,' UDF second-in-command Ngoube Mtumbe said. 'Why we decided that that something was to take over this godforsaken graveyard of a country instead of just getting the fuck out, I'll never know.' 'We did not sign up for this,' he added. 'Seven-hundred-thousand AIDS orphans? Come on!' Mtumbe, a UDF fighter with over 14 years of demolitions experience and nearly three hours of administrative practice, said that members of the rebellion were so caught up in the bloodthirsty struggle for power that they lost sight of what it would mean to be in power in a country as terrible as Zambia. Zambians in the capital city of Lusaka welcome their new leaders. 'The fact that there wasn't a single standing railroad bridge, power station, or radio tower for us to destroy should have been a pretty clear sign that Zambia wasn't exactly the most stable of places,' Mtumbe said. 'Our supposed capitol building doesn't even have a front door, for crying out loud.' Mtumbe, who was trying to figure out what paperwork was necessary to declare a national state of emergency, said he was still kicking himself for killing countless U.N. peacekeepers well-acquainted with the complicated relief process, and for decapitating the Minister of Transportation, who was 'obviously in that position for a reason.' The mood among UDF soldiers quickly worsened when they realized it was up to them to pick up the pieces after a very recent and destructive uprising. 'And to think we were so proud to catch government forces in [the city of] Harbel by surprise,' UDF General Gahiji Boshoso said. 'Those lucky bastards were probably just as relieved as they were shocked that anyone would want to be in charge of such a nightmarish wasteland. Even parts of Nigeria are better than this, and that's one of the worst countries on earth.' <p>'Would it have killed us to take over Estonia instead&#8212;you know, a country with running water?'</p><p>UDF General<BR> Gahiji Boshoso</p> Added Boshoso: 'Would it have killed us to take over Estonia insteadyou know, a country with running water?' Though the group went to the trouble of training an army of largely underage soldiers, purchasing military weapons on the black market, and steeling themselves for atrocities of war, many said they would never have gone through with the final assault had they realized just how dire the situation in Zambia was. 'After losing so many friends and family members, and ruthlessly slitting the throats of more innocent civilians than I can count, I expected my reward to be a little sweeter than this,' said Kowry, who claimed that he wished dealing with the World Bank Food Program was as simple as assassinating former ruling-party loyalists. 'None of the blood that covered our streets nor the carnage that choked our cities could have even remotely prepared us for these pathetic annual GDP figures.' 'Frankly, we're amazed there was even a president to overthrow in the first place,' he added. 'All we can hope for now is that another band of utterly nave rebels comes along to put us out of our misery.' 
1	The filthy, disorganized apartment shared by three members of the Amherst College Marxist Society is a microcosm of why the social and economic utopia described in the writings of Karl Marx will never come to fruition, sources reported Monday. Marxists Kirk Dorff and Josh Foyle. 'The history of society is the inexorable history of class struggle,' said sixth-year undergraduate Kirk Dorff, 23, resting his feet on a coffee table cluttered with unpaid bills, crusted cereal bowls, and bongwater-stained socialist pamphlets. 'The stage is set for the final struggle between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, the true productive class. We're well aware of that here at 514 W. Elm Street, unlike other apartments on this supposedly intellectual campus.' Upon moving in together at the beginning of the fall 2001 semester, Dorff, Josh Foyle, and Tom Eaves sat down and devised an egalitarian system for harmonious living. Each individual roommate would be assigned a task, which he would be required to carry out on a predetermined day of the week. A bulletin board in the kitchen was chosen as the spot for household announcements, and to track reimbursements for common goods like toothpaste and toilet paper. 'We were creating an exciting new model for living,' said Dorff, stubbing his cigarette into an ashtray that had not been emptied in six days. 'It was like we were dismantling the apparatus of the state right within our own living space.' Despite the roommates' optimism, the system began to break down soon after its establishment. To settle disputes, the roommates held weekly meetings of the 'Committee of Three.' 'I brought up that I thought it was total bullshit that I'm, like, the only one who ever cooks around here, yet I have to do the dishes, too,' said Foyle, unaware of just how much the apartment underscores the infeasibility of scientific socialism as outlined in Das Kapital. 'So we decided that if I cook, someone else has to do the dishes. We were going to rotate bathroom-cleaning duty, but then Kirk kept skipping his week, so we had to give him the duty of taking out the garbage instead. But now he has a class on Tuesday nights, so we switched that with the mopping.' After weeks of complaining that he was the only one who knew how to clean 'halfway decent,' Foyle began scaling back his efforts, mirroring the sort of production problems experienced in the USSR and other Soviet bloc nations. At an Oct. 7 meeting of the Committee of Three, more duties and a point system were added. Two months later, however, the duty chart is all but forgotten and the shopping list is several pages long. Dishes and seminal Marxist tracts pile up in the kitchen sink. The roommates have also tried to implement a food-sharing system, with similarly poor results. The dream of equal distribution of shared goods quickly gave way to pilferage, misallocation, and hoarding. 'I bought the peanut butter the first four times, and this Organic Farms shit isn't cheap,' Eaves said. 'So ever since, I've been keeping it in my dresser drawer. If Kirk wants to make himself a sandwich, he can run to the corner store and buy some Jif.' Another failed experiment involves the cigarettes bought collectively. Disagreements constantly arose over who smoked more than his fair share of the group's supply of American Spirit Blues, and the roommates now hide individually purchased packs from each otherespecially late at night when shortages are frequent. The situation is familiar to Donald Browning, author of Das Kouch: A History Of College Marxism, 1970-1998. 'When workers willfully become less productive, the economy of the household suffers,' Browning said. 'But in a society where a range of ability naturally exists, someone is bound to object to picking up the slack for others and end up getting all pissy, like Josh does.' According to Browning, the group's lack of productivity pervades their lives, with roommates encouraging each other to skip class or work to sit on the couch smoking pot and talking politics. 'A spirit of free-market competition in the house would likely result in better incomes or better grades,' Browning said. 'Then, instead of being hated and ostracized by the world at large as socialist countries usually are, they could maintain effective diplomacy with their landlord, their parents, and Kirk's boss who cut back his hours at Shaman Drum Books.' The lack of funds and the resulting scarcity breeds not only discontent but also corruption. Although collectivism only works when all parties contribute to the fullest extent, Foyle hid the existence of a $245 paycheck from roommates so he would not have to pay his back rent, in essence refusing to participate in the forced voluntary taxation that is key to socialism. Even worse, Dorff, who is entrusted with bill collection and payment, recently pocketed $30, a theft he claimed was 'for the heating bill' but was put toward buying drinks later that night. 'As is human nature, power tends to corrupt even the noblest of men,' Browning said. 'The more power the collective has over the lives of the individuals, as is the case in this household, the more he who is in charge of distribution has to gain by being unscrupulous. These Marxists will soon realize they overestimated how much control they would like 514 W. Elm as an entity to have.' 
1	Hoping to avoid any association with a country whose approval rating has hit an all-time low among voters, the entire field of 2014 midterm congressional candidates is actively working to distance themselves from the United States, sources confirmed Wednesday. In the run up to Election Day, reports indicate that every person campaigning in one of the 36 U.S. Senate or 435 House races is now treating any perceived affiliation with the country as a major political liabilityand theyre moving quickly to sever all remaining ties. When voters head to the polls on Nov. 4, they should understand that a vote for me is not a vote for the United States, said Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA), responding to repeated accusations from her opponent that she was once close with the country. Any allegations or insinuations that I am sympathetic to America are simply false. These are desperate, baseless claims that seek to earn cheap political points with voters by portraying me as an advocate for America, which I am not. Let me state once and for all that I do not endorse this country or share its views, Landrieu added. I believe my record has made that clear. According to sources, campaign teams from both parties and across all 50 states have worked tirelessly to avoid the stigma that now accompanies involvement of any kind with the country. Political strategists are also reportedly scrambling to assure top donors that if elected, their candidates will not be encumbered by any kind of pro-American baggage. Top officials have confirmed that both incumbents and challengers are being strongly advised to avoid talking about the United States altogether in interviews and campaign appearances, and to change the subject quickly if pressed on a topic relating to the nation. While its true I have worked with America in the past, I can assure you that is no longer the case, Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS) said in a statement addressing video evidence that surfaced last week of a much younger Roberts extolling the countrys virtues. That was many, many years ago. I had very little information available to me at that point, and I regret speaking before I had all the facts. My views have evolved considerably since that time. Added Roberts, Despite my unfortunate expression of respect for America back then, I can now unequivocally state that I have nothing to do with the country or the values it represents. Campaign finance data from the Federal Election Commission reveals that 30 percent of expenditures in this election cycle have gone toward negative advertisements, many of which charge an opponent with having supported the United States, often for their entire career. In a race that is indicative of campaigns nationwide, Republican congressional challenger Will Hurd has reportedly spent millions on ads that attack incumbent Rep. Pete Gallego (D-TX) as a rubber stamp for America, accusing him of championing American causes and blasting him and his family for having a long history of ties to the nation. Gallego says hes an independent voice with no connections to the United States, but Im not sure I trust him, said Del Rio, TX, registered voter Abigail Tomlinson, explaining that she believes the incumbent is not being entirely forthcoming about his past associations with the country. Their views line up on a number of key issues, and I dont think thats a coincidence. If hes elected, I just know hes going to vote for American interests, Tomlinson continued. You watch. All congressional candidates reached for comment on this article denied any current ties to the United States and hastened to assure reporters their true interests lie elsewhere. 
1	The U.S. populace reacted with confusion, astonishment, and mild disgust upon discovering that 12-year-old little-leaguer Jonathan Keefer's favorite major-league baseball player is none other than Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones. Though Jones, who some called a 'decent enough player' and 'consistent, at least,' is a six-time All Star, many are having a difficult time accepting that the 1999 MVP could actually be somebody's all-time favorite player. 'I know I shouldn't care, but I don't quite get it,' San Francisco resident Fred Lynn, 52, told reporters. 'This kid could have picked anyone he wanted, so what about [Derek] Jeter, David Ortiz, CC Sabathia, or David Wright? I mean, even A-Rod would make more sense than this. I wouldn't like it, but I'd understand.' 'Keefer loving Chipper Jones is like me worshipping [former Pittsburgh Pirate] Al Oliver instead of Willie Mays,' Lynn added. 'Al Oliver wasn't bad. He was actually pretty good. But do you remember who Al Oliver was? Of course not. He just kind of faded into the background.' According to official Little League Baseball records, Keefer is the only little-leaguer in the last 10 years to list Chipper Jones as his favorite player. Moreover, Little League sources confirmed that even during the height of Jones' popularity in the mid- to late '90s, only 14 young players considered him to be among their favorites, with a total of zero actually idolizing him. The nation was reportedly speechless when word spread that Keefer isn't even from Atlanta. 'Maybe he's just doing this to be funny,' 26-year-old Cleveland resident Corey Bell said. 'When I was 16 or 17, a bunch of my friends and I pretended to like David Justice purely for the kitsch value. Or maybe this boy's just being ironic. At least, you'd hope that's the case.' Fueling the nation's bafflement are further revelations, confirmed by Keefer's family and Danville Little League officials, that Keefer plays center field, not third base; isn't in any way related to Jones; and was serious when he asked his parents for a Chipper Jones baseball jersey last Christmas. These facts, compounded with the undeniable reality of Chipper Jones being a member of the Atlanta Braves, made it even more difficult for citizens to comprehend why Keefer tries to emulate Jones' fielding style and batting stance. 'He just really likes Chipper Jones, I guess,' Keefer's father told reporters. 'What are you going to do?' As information continues to surface about Keefer's odd choice of baseball hero, the nation was shocked to learn that Keefer not only has posters of Chipper Jones hanging in his bedroom, but also Chipper Jones baseball cards, which he makes a point of refusing to trade to his friends. 'We've told him we don't care even a little, but Jon's always like, 'You're not getting my [1997 Topps] Chipper Jones card today.' And I totally swear to God, he's being dead serious,' classmate Ryan Hodge said. 'Nobody wants that card. It's not even a rookie. I think he actually has the rookie card in one of those thick screw-on containers.' 'That's how my dad has his Mickey Mantle cards,' Hodge added. According to a CBS News/New York Times poll, 42 percent of the U.S. populace couldn't fathom why Keefer was heartbroken when Jones failed to hit .400 last season. Twenty-three percent claimed they 'did not understand' what they were being told upon hearing that Keefer purposely wears the same brand of cleats and batting gloves as Jones. A further 12 percent said they were 'angered' that Keefer made his father take him to a baseball card show in Indianapolis where Jones was signing autographs. The poll's remaining respondents thought Chipper Jones retired five years ago. 'I'm from Atlanta, and I don't even understand it,' Scott Wedner, 34, said. 'Don't get me wrong, Chipper Jones is a good ball player, maybe even a Hall of Famer. He led our team to a World Series, and might be one of the top three switch-hitters in the history of the game. But he's Chipper Jones, you know?' 
3	The Dangers of North Koreas Nuclear TestAuthors Note: On February 12, 2013, news surfaced of man-made seismic activity measuring at 4.9 on the Richter scale in North Korea, likely the result of the third nuclear test Pyongyang promised to carry out. The contents of this article examine the various dimensions of the situation, and the consequences it could hold for the region. Tensions on the Korean Peninsula have ignited once again, marking the most-unstable period of inter-Korean relations since Kim Jong-un began his tenure in December 2011. Following the successful launch of an indigenous satellite into orbit using a long-range missile in December 2012, the UN Security Council recently tightened sanctions on the DPRK that impose asset freezes and travel bans on individuals involved in state companies and North Koreas space agency. Although talk of Pyongyang conducting a highly controversial nuclear test has been in the cards for months, the DPRK has recently threatened to respond to tightened UN sanctions using stronger measures than a nuclear test. While bellicose rhetoric is to be expected from Pyongyang, recent statements against the United States and South Korea are unusually high on the Richter scale of belligerence. We are not disguising the fact that the various satellites and long-range rockets that we will fire and the high-level nuclear test we will carry out are aimed at the United States, stated North Koreas National Defense Commission. Pyongyang has also warned of physical countermeasures against South Korea if they participate in the UN sanctions against the North, stating, as long as the South Korean puppet traitors regime continues with its anti-DPRK [North Korea] hostile policy, we will never sit down with them. Reports claim that North Korea has allegedly been placed under martial law and its people told to prepare for war with the South. South Korean sources have reported that Kim Jong-un has issued a secret order to complete preparations for a nuclear weapons test and carry it out soon. Seoul-based military sources have also claimed that Pyongyang plans to conduct two simultaneous nuclear tests at once, or in quick succession, based on satellite data monitoring the Norths Punggye-ri nuclear test site. To further complicate matters, General Jung Seung-jo, Chairman of South Koreas Joint Chiefs of Staff, has warned that the South could launch pre-emptive strikes against the North if it tried to use nuclear weapons, stating, if [the North] shows a clear intent to use a nuclear weapon, it is better to get rid of it and go to war, rather than being attacked. Analysts have predicted that the upcoming nuclear weapons test could fall on February 16, the birthday of late North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, or February 25th, the inauguration day of South Korean President-elect Park Geun-hye. North Koreas plans to test nuclear weapons go against the conciliatory tone struck by Kim Jong-un toward relations with the South in his New Years Address and his intentions to bolster the isolated states moribund economy. From the perspective of the Kim regime, which molds the opinions that North Korean civilians uphold, half of the Korean Peninsula is occupied by the United States. State newspapers such as the Rodong Sinmun routinely refer to the South Korean government as a puppet of the United States, recently highlighting Pyongyangs displeasure with increasingly provocative joint US-ROK military drills, ultra-modern war means are being amassed in south Korea and in the areas around the Korean Peninsula. The U.S. nuclear submarine and Aegis cruiser entered south Korea to hold combined marine exercises and to show off military muscle warmongers are inciting war fever while touring units in the forefront areas. North Korea routinely complains of discrimination by world powers, compelling it to resort to nuclear deterrence; the fact that South Korea faced no international obstruction over its recent satellite launch only reinforces Pyongyangs rationale. By acknowledging the ultra-modern military capabilities of the joint US-ROK forces, it can be gathered that the North realizes its own arsenal is much less sophisticated, as many military analysts confirm. The military muscle of the US-ROK forces certainly poses an existential threat to Pyongyang, and as a result, the Kim dynasty sees the proliferation of nuclear weapons as the only surefire way to guarantee its own security. However, the North Koreans must realize that they can only get away with nuclear adventurism for so long, and it appears that the DPRK may soon be at risk of aggravating the hand that feeds it literally. China is not looking for any additional agitation as it prepares for its once-in-a-decade leadership transition. Analysts are pondering how Xi Jingpings administration will treat North Korea. Chinas seven member Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) is the ultimate decision-making and policy-shaping body, and two members of Chinas incoming PCS, Zhang Dejiang and Sun Zhengcai, have spent years in close proximity to North Korea, engaging in cross-border interactions with North Korean counterparts aiming to promote economic reform in Pyongyang. Despite nearly open war between the two Koreas in 2010 after the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island and the sinking of a South Korean military vessel, Chinas relationship with North Korea during the incumbent Hu Jintao administration was marked by several victories noticeable economic cooperation with Beijing the stable succession of Kim Jong-un, and the general lack of external interference in the DPRKs affairs. Much to the surprise of many analysts, China backed the recent UN sanctions on Pyongyang, indicating some disapproval with the Kim dynastys hostility. Even so, it is unlikely that Beijing and Washington will begin playing from the same sheet music. China signaled its frustration with the North in an opinion piece in the ultra-nationalistic newspaper, the Global Times, If North Korea engages in further nuclear tests, China will not hesitate to reduce its assistance to North Korea. The editorial went on to say that if the US, Japan and South Korea promote extreme U.N. sanctions on North Korea, China will resolutely stop them and force them to amend these draft resolutions. Chinas position on this issue should be commended for its balanced approach. For Beijing, stability is the name of the game; China does not want any military confrontations or mass refugee spillovers into its borders. Even as Beijing becomes more upfront with its discontent, China has a valuable economic stake in North Koreas development; it continually invests in joint ventures with Pyongyang and has led initiatives to develop the nations vast untapped mineral resources (which include deposits of coal, iron ore, gold ore, zinc ore, copper ore, and others) valued at a staggering $6.1 trillion. The centerpiece of Beijings foreign policy strategy towards the North under Xi Jingping will be encouraging the regime to behave more sensibly and focus on meeting the needs of its people. Perhaps policy makers in Beijing will have an easier time convincing Pyongyang to drop the nuclear rhetoric in exchange for a meaningful security pact by which Pyongyang is guaranteed military support from China if things ever get ugly. Given the non-interference stance championed by Beijing, it would be doubtful that Beijing would extend itself in this way. Plans for a third nuclear test will also put South Korean President-elect Park Geun-hye in an extremely uncomfortable position, making it easy for her to enrage those on both South Koreas left and right depending on how hard or soft a line she toes with Pyongyang. Park has spoke of easing relations with the DPRK, but like her predecessor, she maintains that the Norths denuclearization is a prerequisite for any negotiations translation there will be no negotiations and the ROKs foreign policy trajectory is likely not to differ from that of hardline-conservative President Lee Myung-bak. Pyongyang has repeatedly demonstrated its unwillingness to comply with the ROKs demands, and vice-versa. Inter-Korean relations appear to be following a repetitive script, with Washingtons solution to every issue being to tighten sanctions on the North. The case has never been stronger for the withdrawal of the 28,500 troops stationed in South Korea, a move that would satisfy civilians in both Koreas and yield higher chances of provoking a positive response from Pyongyang. Analyst Geoffrey Fattig argues in favor of a new approach being taken by the US by highlighting how Washingtons main source of leverage against the North is the military option, citing the friction caused by the mere presence of US troops, the Obama administration needs to realize that it is holding a weak hand and fundamentally change its strategy it is time for the Obama administration to start withdrawing the American military from Korean soil. Not only would such a move save billions of dollars annually at a time when the cost of maintaining Americas global garrison is coming under increasing scrutiny, but it would shift the impetus for negotiating solutions to the long-running dispute squarely onto the shoulders of the key players in the region. Additionally, geologists have warned that further nuclear tests may trigger an eruption of Mt. Baekdu, a dormant volcano, which is located near the Punggye-ri nuclear site. Mt. Baekdu plays an important role in ethno-nationalist North Korean propaganda, being the fictional birthplace of the late Kim Jong-il and an enclave of purity from which the Korean race was born out of. For North Koreas seasoned propaganda writers, an erupting Mt. Baekdu would be the perfect backdrop for the long-touted holy war often evoked to hasten the day when racially-pure North Koreans liberate their southern brethren from the occupying US vampires. In the reality the rest of us live in, the scheduled nuclear test may not only provoke the eruption of Mt. Baeku, but also the very real possibility of a deadly military conflict between the two Koreas a conflict that must be avoided no matter how provocative, belligerent or infantile either side behaves.

2	Trump Responds To Mexican President About Wall Even before he has been elected president, Donald Trump is negotiating with Mexican officials regarding a wall on the U.S. southern border. The move proves that he is serious about moving forward with his plans if elected. According to recent reports from CNBC, when former Mexican President Felipe Calderon was asked about Mexico helping to fund the wall, he said: Mexican people, we are not going to pay any single cent for such a stupid wall! And its going to be completely useless. Now the wall just got taller, Trump quickly responded. Of course, Calderon is the former presidentso his opinion should not be taken as final. His comments are probably only a reflection of his personal beliefs on the matter. The first loser of such a policy would be the United States, Calderon continued. If this guy pretends that closing the borders to anywhere either for trade (or) for people is going to provide prosperity to the United States, he is completely crazy. That comment shows just how little Calderon actually knows about Trumps proposal, which does not include anything about a final shutdown of the southern border. In fact, Trump has offered a warm welcome to anyone who wants to come into the country legally. Now, the legendary businessman has come out with an $8 billion price tag for the wall, which will be 35-40 feet high and stretch a thousand miles. Watch the interview below and tell us what you think.

But that ruling was short lived. The health department appealed and it was the Third Judicial Appellate Court that overturned the previous ruling, deciding on November 21st this year, that PREP trumps, or rather, preempts state laws regarding that matter. Did you know that we are apparently in an unending state of public health emergency? The emergency in the situation above? H1N1 flu Madison Parker was given a Peramivirinoculation for H1N1 flu virus. But this ruling was based on an assumed intention of Congress and the assumption of public health emergency: And we wouldnt want to let a good government contract go to waste. Peters also wrote: Peters said that because there are exclusive federal remedies (the Federal Governments just cause under PREP), that reason further supports preemption. Therefore, the decision concluded the complaint must be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. And what have we here? Another compensation program! That should make everything all better, right? Courthouse News wrote: So, not only is PREP admitting and setting up funds for very possible injuries upon administering vaccinations, but they themselves are immunized from liability in civil liberties violations administering drugs against a persons will. Great swerve guys same MO every time. Brian Shilhavy over at Health Impact News made some great points about the case: Points like these, civil liberties, and state exemptions for religious, philosophical, and medical reasons exist but are not often upheld. Especially when the Federal Government can arbitrarily declare state of emergency and trump state rulings. It also seems like for anyone in this type of situation it might be better to sue only individuals involved, not governmental departments what do you think?

2	One American Killed In Oregon Wildlife Refuge Confrontation The Oregon Wildlife Refuge occupation had been quiet for several weeks until now. In a confrontation with the FBI, 6 occupation leaders were arrested, and one was killed. Shots were fired about 4:25 p.m. (7:25 p.m. ET) when the FBI and Oregon State Police began an enforcement action at the wildlife refuge, the FBI said. It didnt identify the victim but said he or she wasnt a law enforcement officer. All face federal felony charges of conspiracy to impede federal officers from discharging their official duties through the use of force, intimidation or threats, authorities said. A sixth person, identified as Joseph Donald OShaughnessy, 45, of Cottonwood, Arizona, was arrested in a separate incident in Burns about an hour and a half later, state police said. They provided no further details. (Source: NBC News) This is absolutely horrible. Things have been taken too far. This was supposed to be a peaceful occupation. Do you think the protesters should give up, or keep going strong?

2	Obama Makes Fun Of Disabled People [VIDEO] Recently, Donald Trump came under fire for his alleged mockery of a New York Times reporter with a disability. Since the incident occurred, Trump has maintained that he was not actually mocking anybody. Still, liberals have been using this against Trump for some time now. Ironically, those same people are the ones standing behind Obamaa hypocritical move to say the least. Fox News Sean Hannity was quick to call this out when he posted a video of President Obama blatantly making fun of people in the Special Olympics. The 2009 clip comes from Obamas appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, when he claimed that he bowling score was like being in the Special Olympics. Watch the clip below and tell us what you think. Are you sick and tired of this hypocrisy? 
1	I was going to root for Ben Roethlisberger in the Super Bowl because in him I saw a man who I shared a common experience with, including being suspended for something that was never proven in a court of law. So I wanted the Steelers to win, and I thought I would meet him at Dallas and hang out with him for a while, but he did not return my calls. This crushed me. I guess Ben thought that now he was trying to be like a Mickey Mouse guy who everyone likes. I tried to do the same thing once and my advice to him is it does not work. After my first suspension I tried to work at womens shelters to show that I did not really mean what I said, which is not important to get into, but I was often booed and had garbage thrown at me when I tried to explain my side of the story and my ideas about political correctness run amok. I think that the same thing will happen to Ben Roethlisberger. Instead he decided to ignore me even though I know a ton of good spots in Dallas that photographers don't know about where he could have gotten trashed and had a good time. So I am glad he lost, because you do not go against Reiser. When he threw that interception I was like 'ha ha Reiser is the king.' 
3	Dallas police seek indictment for officer who shot mentally ill manMadison Ruppert While a video of the incident in Dallas had shed a great deal of light on the events that led to the shooting, other departments arent so quick to allow such scrutiny. For instance, police in North Carolina refuse to release video of the shooting of an unarmed man that occurred in September. Dallas Police Chief David Brown apologized for the actions of now former officer Cardan Spencer, who was placed on administrative leave after the Oct. 14 shooting, according to the Associated Press. Spencer was also charged with felony aggravated assault, police initially said on Thursday, in relation to the shooting of Bobby Gerald Bennett, a 52-year-old mentally ill man. However, a later statement was issued by police that said police were directed by a judge to take the case to a grand jury after the judge would not sign a warrant, according to reports. However, Spencer says he was betrayed by a department that he was trying to serve, according to Ron Pinkston, president of the Dallas Police Association. Pinkston said that Spencer had never had a complaint filed against him in almost seven years on the police force. Spencer also worked in some of the toughest neighborhoods in Dallas, the head of the police union added. While Spencer wrote in a police report that he fired after Bennett lunged at him and another officer with a knife, surveillance camera footage appears to show otherwise. Bennett was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and was off his medication when he was shot, according to his mother. When he was interviewed in the hospital, Bennett told investigators that at the time he was suicidal and wanted to be shot. A neighbors surveillance camera reportedly shows that Bennett did not appear to even move toward the officers before he was shot by Spencer. Brown stated that two individuals who witnessed the incident from a parked car later backed up what the department saw on the video. Bennett was initially charged with aggravated assault but the charges were eventually dropped once the officers account of the event became questionable, CBS reports. Officer Christopher Watson, who was with Spencer at the time of the shooting, is now being investigated by police as well, according to Brown. Watsons account of the incident changed after he was shown the video, Brown said. The encounter began when Bennetts mother, Joyce Jackson, called the police after arguing with Bennett. Jackson said she was told that the officers who responded would be trained in dealing people suffering from mentally illness. Bennett was reportedly sitting on a chair in the street outside of his mothers house holding a knife when the officers arrived. Just a few hours after the shooting, a police spokesman said that the incident escalated, which led an officer to fire his weapon upon the individual. However, the Associated Press notes that the video does not show such an escalation. Officers are not above the law, Brown said at a Thursday news conference. We as a police department are not going to look the other way. 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.

2	Comments On American Sniper Get A Shocking Response From Veterans American Sniper has been a hit in theaters, and also a source of major debate among Americans. Now, Michelle Obama made the decision to weigh in with her opinion on the film. People generally see veterans in one of two ways either the broken, downtrodden vet who is homeless or on drugs and has such sever PTSD that he cant even function, 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, the First Lady commented, according to reports. But these two imagesone broken, one perfecttheyre just caricatures, she concluded. Michelle went on to say that she did like that American Sniper was a more complex story than that. While I know there have been critics, I felt that, more often than not, this film touches on many of the emotions and experiences that Ive heard firsthand from military families over these past few years. What do you think of Michelles comments on the films? 
1	An 83rd birthday party for Hilldale Nursing Home resident Abraham Porter stretched the definition of the word 'party' Monday. 'Yes, there was food and music and gifts and people gathered for the purpose of celebrating, so, technically, it was a party,' said Lydia Marks, the ailing Porter's great-grand-niece. 'But it felt like something else altogether.' The highlight of the affair, Marks said, was when Porter recognized his only son. 
3	The UN Wants Complete Control Over The Internet; Expect Maximum Censorship, Taxes And SurveillanceMichael Snyder, Contributor This is perhaps the greatest threat to the free and open Internet that we have seen yet. At a UN conference in Dubai this upcoming December, representatives from 193 nations will debate this proposal. The United States and many European nations are firmly against this proposal, but it is unclear whether they have the votes to stop it. Unlike the Security Council, there are no vetoes when it comes to ITU proceedings. So the United States may not be able to stop governance of the Internet from being handed over to the United Nations. The United States could opt out of any new treaty, but that would result in a balkanized Internet. If the UN gains control over the Internet, you can expect a whole new era of censorship, taxes, and surveillance. It would be absolutely catastrophic for the free flow of commerce and information around the globe. Unfortunately, many repressive regimes are very dissatisfied with how the Internet is currently working and they desperately want to be able to use the power of the UN to tax, regulate and censor the Internet. Needless to say, that would be a disaster. International control over the Internet would be a complete and total nightmare and it must be resisted. Vint Cerf, Googles chief Internet evangelist, co-creator of the TCP/IP protocol, and former chairman of ICANN, said the ITU meeting could lead to top-down control dictated by governments that could impact free expression, security, and other important issues. The open Internet has never been at a higher risk than it is now, Cerf said. Sadly, the United States cannot block this from happening. As an article by Robert M. McDowell explained, all it is going to take for this proposal to be accepted is for a simple majority of the 193 UN members states to agree to it. Regulation proponents only need to secure a simple majority of the 193 member states to codify their radical and counterproductive agenda. Unlike the U.N. Security Council, no country can wield a veto in ITU proceedings. Once the ITU gains control, the United States and other nations could attempt to opt out, but that would create a balkanized Internet that would be much different than what we have today. The powers that would be given to the ITU under the current proposal would be extraordinary. A recent article in the Wall Street Journal summarized some of the powers that the ITU would be granted. Subject cyber security and data privacy to international control; Allow foreign phone companies to charge fees for international Internet traffic, perhaps even on a per-click basis for certain Web destinations, with the goal of generating revenue for state-owned phone companies and government treasuries; Impose unprecedented economic regulations such as mandates for rates, terms and conditions for currently unregulated traffic-swapping agreements known as peering. Establish for the first time ITU dominion over important functions of multi-stakeholder Internet governance entities such as the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the nonprofit entity that coordinates the .com and .org Web addresses of the world; Subsume under intergovernmental control many functions of the Internet Engineering Task Force, the Internet Society and other multi-stakeholder groups that establish the engineering and technical standards that allow the Internet to work Some members of the U.S. Congress are deeply concerned that ITU control over the Internet would also open the door for oppressive global taxation of Internet companies. Google, iTunes, Facebook, and Netflix are mentioned most often as prime sources of funding, McDowell said. Added Rep. Anna Eshoo, a California Democrat whose district includes Facebooks headquarters, many countries dont share our view of the Internet and how it operates. Many developing nations see international control over the Internet as a potential revenue bonanza as a recent CNN article explained. Also pushing for international controls are developing countries hungry not only for political control, but also for new sources of revenue. (Allowing foreign phone companies to collect fees on international traffic is one proposal under discussion.) Grenell, who saw the regulatory effort spring up from the beginning a decade ago, notes that developing countries at the U.N. get excited about taking up global issues that will give them more control and influence over commerce, that require businesses to seek their input and approval. But taxation would not be the greatest threat to the free and open Internet. Censorship would potentially be an even greater threat. Do you really want China, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Iran to be involved in setting standards for what is acceptable communication over the Internet? In China, Internet censorship has become an art form. For example, check out the new regulations that were recently imposed on Chinese microbloggers. A five-strikes-and-out rule will see anyone posting five tweets on sensitive subjects have their account on Sinas Weibo suspended for 48 hours. Anyone whose posts continue to irk the censors could then have their accounts closed permanently. The code of conduct, which bans the spread of state secrets, false information, and anything that harms national unity went into force on Monday. Would you like that kind of regulation to come to Facebook and Twitter? Dont think that it cant happen. The following excerpt from a recent CNET article should be sobering for all of us. In 2008, CNET was the first to report that the ITU was quietly drafting technical standards, proposed by the Chinese government, to define methods of tracing the original source of Internet communications and potentially curbing the ability of users to remain anonymous. A leaked document showed the trace-back mechanism was designed to be used by a government that tries to identify the source of the negative articles published by an anonymous author. Do you want China to be able to identify and locate you every time you say something bad about them on the Internet? As I have written about previously, governments all over the world already use the Internet to spy on all of us. How much worse would Internet surveillance become if the United Nations was in charge? If the United Nations gets control over the Internet, that will be a giant step toward the United Nations becoming a true world government. The Internet has become an essential part of our daily lives, and allowing the UN to govern it would give them an extraordinary amount of power over all of us. Please do what you can to raise awareness about this potential UN takeover of the Internet. Hopefully we can raise enough of a fuss that the UN will back down for a while. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	Rubio Just Said He Would Risk WW3 To Enforce No-Fly Zone in SyriaBy Claire Bernish Rubio wants to implement the much-debated Syrian no-fly zone to prevent Syrian government forces from bombing civilians or rebel targets and if Russia happens to participate in such a campaign and breaches this zone, they would be considered no different than any other adversary. Posturing. Politicians proffering pretentiously provocative policy solely to produce positive publicity is patently ASININE. (Sorry, I couldnt resist.) This new assertion cozily fits that description. Rubio seeks to win back GOP favor for his ailing fourth-place campaign, which was sorely injured in 2014 when he sided with Democrats to back a wildly unpopular immigration amnesty bill that voters blocked. Having raised just [just?!] $6 million in 2015s third-quarter so far, Rubio needed to generate some attention. Its arguable whether the attention desired was exactly what he garnered, but scrapping the general consensus of the American people do not poke the sleeping, irritable Bear for, well, any reason is going to earn questions. CNBCs John Harwood conducted the interview on October 5th: RUBIO: If youre going to have a no-fly zone, it has to be against anyone who would dare intrude on it, and I am confident that the United States Air Force can enforce that, including against the Russians . . . I believe the Russians would not test that. I dont think it is in the Russians interest to engage in an armed conflict of the United States. HARWOOD: You think Putin would back off if we had a no-fly zone? RUBIO: I dont think hes going to go into a safe zone, absolutely. I dont believe he will look for a direct military conflict against the United States in order to go into a safe zone. HARWOOD: What if he was? RUBIO: Well, then youre going to have a problem, but that would be no different than any other adversary. HARWOOD: Youd be willing to accept that consequence? RUBIO: Because the alternative is this massive migration crisis that were now facing. The alternative is that [Syrian President Bashar al-] Assad will remain in power but never control the whole whole of Syria again. The alternative is the continued growth of non-ISIS terrorist groups in addition to ISIS, itself. So I think the alternative is worse. HARWOOD: Dont you think the prospect of potential military hot military conflict with Russia would scare the American people? RUBIO: Sure. But the consequences of not doing anything would scare them even more and that includes its ongoing crisis of the migratory crisis that were now facing. The continued growth, not just of ISIS, but a Jabhat al-Nusra and other groups in the region as well. At the end of the day . . . we cannot say, well, if Putin is going to test us, then we cant do anything. Youve basically at that point ceded to him as becoming the most influential geopolitical broker in the region. In other words, its worth poking the Bear for the sake of bravado and to prevent the possibility of problem Muslim migrants overrunning the country. Its worth poking the Bear to act as world police in a conflict the U.S. has no proper excuse to insert itself in the first place. And its always worth poking the Bear when your campaign flounders. Though Rubio certainly has company in backing the Syrian no-fly zone, his seeming ambivalence about actively provoking war with Russia is his, alone. Never mind that the United States spent numerous decades trying to avoid engaging Russia in combat, mostly out of the fearful belief that a conflict between the two atomically-armed super powers would undoubtedly escalate into World War III. Marco Rubio seems to be under the impression that playing RISK as a child gives him the strategic authority to conquer other nations. Either Marco is overlooking the fact that your competitor cant drop nukes in a board game, or he simply believes that overthrowing yet another regime in the Middle East is worth the risk of World War III.

MARK Rubio AND SCUMS LIKE HIM are running for prez , in the land of the free and the brave, and would risk nuclear war to fulfil their zio-cracy and world war 3 , such madmen we now have in this world .. Yes, he bows to Israeli influence! He is an evangelical Protestant, so he believes the Master Race rabbis, not Jesus. Besides, there is much profit in being a shabbos g o yjust ask John Hagee. Yup, hes a Ziocon! MIC talking head. Wherever Rubio came from, he should be returned. Some intelligent 1st graders show more common sense than he. Look: this is a genocide for Oil. Least offensive: Nuke them then take the oil . . . Hes a Zionist sympathizer. This is a mind reflection of White Privilege in the true sense of the two wordsas a white shoe boy thats been coddled in an ivory tower mentality in the Jesuit universities that only the scoin of the uber rich attend waiting for that tap on the shoulder to become a Rhodes scholar or a Skull Bones member..he has no objectivityonly the elitist mind set hes been inculcated with since the silver spoon placed in his mouth.hes simply a brain fart moron IMO John Wayne and Dirty Harry political theater. We can be grateful some Republican voters are starting to get a clue Rubio is a globalist puppet, hence the open borders stance. Hes been smoking to much pipeline 
1	A comprehensive report released this week by researchers at the University of North Carolina confirmed widely held assumptions that you are the most significant and interesting person currently inhabiting the earth. Drawing from the results of a six-year study that carefully analyzed thousands of hours of your actions and conversations, the 220-page report concluded that your ideas and opinions far surpass those of the other 7.1 billion people on the planet in terms of substance, depth, and general importance to the world. Throughout our study, we found clear and overwhelming evidence that you are not only the most compelling member of the human race, but also the most important, and by a wide margin, said the studys lead author Samuel Lerman, who noted that you are also far more noteworthy than all individuals who have ever previously existed in human history. There is a statistically significant gap between what you and the rest of humanity have to offer in terms of wit, charm, intelligence, creativity, and observational ability. Indeed, we found that the dynamic nature of your personality is of immeasurable value to society. Our findings also confirm that your insights on everything from politics to entertainment to social issues to religion are the most notable and well-thought-out, continued Lerman, adding that your viewpoints roundly trump the countless competing beliefs offered by the rest of the worlds population. You are, in short, the only person who matters. The rest of us do not matter. The report stated that people crave to hear from you at all times, asserting that your thoughts are the most profound, your stories the most gripping, and your approval the most desired. The study also demonstrated that no one else alive today has anything as perceptive and as consequential to say as you do, with researchers noting that when you choose to speak you are exceedingly captivating and enjoyable to listen to in a way that no other human being could ever approach. Furthermore, clinical observations showed that when you are not around, conversations among others invariably revert to speculation about what you are currently doing and what you would say about the discussion at hand. The report also confirmed that your words serve as a highly desired and desperately needed reprieve from the monotony and meaninglessness of what everyone else has to say. You are the center of everything, the report added. We found that what other people think or experience is completely irrelevant when compared to even the most minor thoughts and experiences in your everyday life, said Lerman, noting that only the things you see, do, say, and learn have any significance at all. The data clearly show that your feelings are the most authentic, your experiences are the richest, and your perspectives are the most unique. Frankly, the world only wants to hear about you and your life and nothing else. Indeed, thats what we all long for at every moment. The sociologist affirmed that all other humans on earth define their lives largely in relation to you and your existence, and reiterated the reports recommendation that you continue to make your views and ideas known as loudly and frequently as possible to eliminate any lingering doubts among the global populace regarding your supreme importance. The evidence conclusively shows that you, and you alone, provide meaning to everyone else in your workplace, your social network, and your family, as well as to all the strangers that you interact with only momentarily each day, said Lerman, who highlighted data indicating that others sense of fulfillment is derived solely from the opportunity to work, live, and exist alongside you. Without you, these groups and individualsas well as society in generalwould just drift aimlessly, feeling empty and incomplete. Lerman went on to state that you were and have always been the primary figure on the planet, noting that the worth and merit of every person, institution, and cultural phenomenon on earth hinged wholly on your personal perceptions and judgments about them. Our research definitively proves that when you go to sleep each night, the worlds entire narrative stops, and that it then restarts again as soon as you wake up, Lerman said. And according to our findings, when you die, all of thisthe whole universe and everything in itwill end. It is scientifically indisputable that you are the single most important and fundamental being in existence, Lerman added. You are commensurate with the sun, the moon, the stars. In fact, you are the sum of all of these and more. The report summarized its results by concluding, You, you, you, you. 
1	Today they told me that SportsDome is going to be on at 8:00 PM from now on instead of 10:30 PM. I was glad they told me. In the past when they changed the time for the show they didn't always tell me in time. The last time they moved me on SportsDome I showed up either seven hours early or seventeen hours late, or both. I am thankful that they told me today because I have advanced warning, but not so much that I'll eventually forget. 8:00 is a better time for sports anyway than 10:30 is. That's why I call it the Sports Time. Whenever somebody asks me what time it is and it's 8:00, I say, 'it's Sports Time.' Or I did that once, anyway. But the person knew what I was talking about, which suggests to me that 8:00 really is the Sports Time. The question most people have been asking me since they heard we are moving the show to 8:00 is if I tone down my trademark Reiser persona now that we are in primetime when most children are sitting in front of their televisions because of absentee parents. I am confident it will be the same show, mostly because I never understand that what I've done is wrong until someone is reprimanding me for it. The show will still be about sports and I will still be the king because Reiser Is The King, even at 8:00. 
3	Halloween Challenge: Are You a Terrorist? Take the Self Assessment Test Now!Bernie Suarez, Contributor First lets consider the definition of terrorism: a. The use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes. b. The state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization. c. A terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government And terrorist is defined as: a. A person, usually a member of a group, who uses or advocates terrorism. b. A person who terrorizes or frightens others. Given these definitions heres a mini quiz: Answer Yes or No for each question. 1. Do you act in any way or participate in activities that are a threat to individual rights, sovereignty and freedoms? 2. Do you find yourself rooting for or approving of some level of violence against any group of people? 3. Do you cooperate, endorse or support any ideologies that are either a direct or indirect threat to the Constitution, Bill of Rights or natural human rights? Assess Yourself Now: If you answered no to all questions congratulations, you are not a terrorist! If you answered yes to one (1) question you could have terrorist traits, or worse, but its not completely clear and it could depend on which question you answered yes to. Perhaps you are exhibiting early signs or suffering from the effects of media propaganda and disinformation. If you answered yes to two (2) questions its time to stop and think what exactly it is you believe in. Ask yourself what path you are on historically and see if you can make a correlation between your current belief system and historic human suffering. If you answered yes to three (3) or all four (4) questions you are manifesting all the characteristics of a terrorist and need help immediately. You are experiencing a disconnection from humanity and from history and you need to stop what you are doing now. You are overlooking how great humanity is and have put all your faith in yourself instead of humanity. Your actions are despicable and foolish and history will not treat you very well, for it is your terror-loving mindset that that is a major threat to humanity. You choose to impose your will on humanity and have no qualms about using fear and violence to promote your ideology. Now that weve clarified the what, its much easier to determine the who because these definitions allow us to observe a clear set of rules to determine the who. The information battle we face is really a struggle between logic and reason versus propaganda and deception. Notably, the governments definition of terrorism is based on political propaganda, and is more along the lines of whether you cooperate with the U.S./U.N./NATO global agenda. Lets divert from this topic for a minute and consider that the end goal of propaganda (and deception) is simply to continue deceiving and propagandizing to maintain the deception; whereas the end goal of logic and reason is to get at an answer, spread understanding and thus induce and compel action based on truth. Incidentally, this action will some day propel humanity into the next level of consciousness. This is what we are waiting for. Unfortunately many Americans are still asleep in the government-engineered matrix. They are unable to look beyond the government-programmed irrational urges to believe what they hear and see on television. To the designers of the amazing corporate mass-media-entertainment-propaganda machine, I say hats off. Its a wonder to observe the massive impact corporate media and entertainment has on the minds of millions of Americans. This corporate media spell tricks its victims into accepting the who on face value; the government is saying Trust us hoping the general public will acquiesce. This slave-master spell is an irrational urge that sickens humanity. This irrational urge to blindly believe and trust government systems is thankfully curable, however. Yes, logic and reason (the antithesis) provide healing. Logic, reason and intelligent cognitive inquiries that look to protect the human journey are the cure humanity needs to move forward. In addition to logic and reason we observe that in the interest of healing humanity we have an obligation to pursue love, peace, compassion, wisdom, knowledge, sincerity, truth, transparency, integrity, courage, respect and humility. These are the virtues that will heal humanity. Exposing the process of what logically fits someone into the terrorist box and systematically pointing out the pro-humanity virtues, allows us to speak with clarity and alacrity on this matter. We can confidently assert that logically speaking it is impossible to practice these virtues and also be a terrorist; likewise, it is impossible to practice and behave in a manner clearly within the boundaries of the definition of terror, or our mini quiz, and still not be considered a terrorist. One by one people are politically waking up to the globalists plans and realizing that logic and reason are very helpful for solving problems. Logic dictates it is much more important to understand the definition of terrorism, AND THEN apply the logic and reason to determining who the terrorists are. When we apply this simple logic we see that any entity that is spreading fear for political reason is by definition a terrorist organization, or acting as a terrorist organization; for example, NATO and the U.N. fit this definition very comfortably as does the current administration and many corrupt politicians looking to undermine and destroy freedom, democracy and the rights of the people. The establishment would have you ignore the definition of terrorism and terrorist and just accept the states accusations at face value on any average American as indicated by the NDAA. A recent video put out by the Houston Police department in conjunction with DHS Make the call showcases wild new world order fantasies portraying average young, well dressed and beautiful Americans as possible terrorists for carrying bags into a restaurant, writing down notes at an airport, coming in and out of an average building or holding doors open. How convenient for a State determined to impose fascism and tyranny! This irrational urge to blindly believe and trust government systems, is thankfully curable. Americans must resist this massive bypassing of logic and reason. We promise to laugh at these fantastic propaganda videos, but we confidently assert our belief in humanity that no one is a suspected terrorist for being individual and unique. Logic dictates that humans do not have any way of knowing with certainty exactly what someone is doing or the circumstance they are in by simply observing their behavior. Is someone holding a door open because they want to break into the building or because they are about to move a large piece of furniture? Is someone writing down notes at an airport to pin-point a future bomb location or because they are preparing directions for grandmother? Who will cast the first stone of ignorance to presume that they know? The government wants you to be the one to step forward into the minion role of State snitch. We observe that the working governmental-corporate-propaganda machine is now trying to lure the masses into believing that they can be psychic and expose terror activity somehow before it happens! But just how wild does this government-guided insanity get? Weve had enough of this government sponsored Attention Deficit Disorder. We must now strive for healing, knowing that we all deserve better than this; and certainly future generations need us now more than ever. One plus one equals two, a rock dropped from a roof will fall due to gravity, the sun rises in the east, the earth naturally springs life all around, and every form of life has an order to it. This order of nature is important to not only observe but to respect and be allowed to flow. With George Bush already having clarified the definition of terrorist back on September 12, 2001 we should appreciate how the order of life comes full circle. On September 11th the world agreed that whoever did this act was a terrorist. The worlds collective consciousness and global intuition was very correct on that day. The world got it right: we know for sure that those who committed the 9/11 atrocities and the atrocities that have followed 9/11 are all terrorists. Lets appreciate the order that exists in nature that allows us to reach proper answers to these simple questions, and let us also remember to show our respect of life, logic and reason. Share this terrorist test with someone you know.

3	Homeless Woman Who Protested War Outside White House For 3 Decades Straight Dies At Age 80By John Vibes She began the longest running political protest in US history out front of the White House in 1981. Since then she has literally lived at the spot, spending 24 hours per day and 7 days a week at the vigil that she created. The vigil showed a variety of anti-war and anti-nuclear slogans and had coordinated with local anti-war activists to provide information to passers-by. Over the years, Picciottos vigil became a DC landmark for many, and a meeting place for activists. Throughout the duration of her occupation, she has been attacked my police and citizens alike, arrested, and the government has many times attempted to eject her from the site. However, local support had managed to keep her where she was for 33 years. Recently, her health took a turn for the worse and she began staying at a local homeless shelter where she died on January 25th.

2	What Trump Prayed For Before The Election Will Leave You Speechless Donald Trump has one last plea for the American people before they submitted their final vote in the Presidential election on Tuesday. Pray for guidance, the Republican nominee told reporters during an interview. Pray for our country because we need prayer. Trump also argued that our country needed some divine intervention, now almost more than weve ever needed it before. Were doing very well with evangelicals, the legendary businessman added. If they vote, were going to win the election. Had they voted four years agoand they didntyou would have had a different result in the election instead of having Obama, who has been catastrophic for evangelicals and a lot of the things that we stand for. I just want the people to remember: The United States Supreme Court, Trump continued. Whether they love me or like me or dont like me, were going to put great justicespro-life justiceswere going to put Second Amendment justices, and I think for the evangelicals, its so important that they get out and vote. Trumps campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, had a more straightforward approach going into Election Day. I believe that we will win, Trumps campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, told Jenna Browder. I believe that the country is calling, urging for true change. Seventy-five percent of Americans now say that they want to take the country in a new and different direction. Thats an unmistakable endorsement and frankly an unmistakable mandate. What do you think of Trumps comments?

1	In an effort to get the attention of the events moderator, a tiny Ben Carson reportedly waved his little arms and tugged at CNN political anchor Wolf Blitzers pant leg during Thursday nights GOP debate. Hey, look down here! Its me, Ben Carson, said the 6-inch-tall presidential candidate, bending over at the waist to catch his breath after frantically jumping up and down and pulling with all of his heart on the fabric around Blitzers ankle. Wolf! Wolf! Down here! Come on, ask me a question too. At press time, sources confirmed the squeaky, muffled voice of tiny Ben Carson could be heard mumbling about defunding Planned Parenthood from inside Blitzers coat pocket. 
1	In a notable relaxation of its existing security protocols, the Transportation Security Administration announced Thursday that it will henceforth allow small terrorists on commercial aircraft. After reviewing our longstanding policies, we have decided to ease our boarding requirements to allow any terrorist 5 feet tall or shorter to enter the airplane cabin, TSA administrator John S. Pistole said in a prepared statement, specifying that any violent radical attempting to pass through security will be subject to an additional screening ensuring they weigh less than 135 pounds and are no broader than 18 inches at their widest point. Its a simple system that hopefully everyone will be able to understand. We will also display a height chart outside security checkpoints so as to eliminate any confusion. Pistole added that any terrorists not falling within the acceptable boarding dimensions will have to be checked. 
3	GMO Farming, Glyphosate Significant Causes of Water PollutionMike Barrett One groundbreaking study found that glyphosate, the active ingredient residing in the ever-so-popular Roundup product from Monsanto, is making its way into groundwater across the nation through widespread contamination of aquifers, wells, and springs. The findings indicate that glyphosate actually doesnt break down rapidly in the environment, and is continuously building up in concerning quantities. With glyphosate growing among the causes of water pollution, it is becoming more and more apparent that the chemical is polluting groundwater in alarming quantities; enough to pose a significant threat to the purity of drinking water wherever it is used. How prevalent is this issue, really? In addition, the issue of water contamination is only part of the pollution problem. Other findings, published in the journal Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, came across glyphosate in 60-100% of all air and rain samples tested for. This shows that glyphosate is not only among causes of water pollution, but also resides in the air due to massive overuse. While GMO farmers and other individuals using Roundup are the heavy contributors, biotechnology giant Monsanto is ultimately fueling water pollution surrounding glyphosate involvement. Monsanto is the worlds largest provider and producer of glyphosate, and dominates the genetically modified crops market. With many of Monsantos GM crops being resistant to glyphosate-containing Roundup, glyphosate is sprayed in massive amounts in order to function properly against the resistant crops. In fact, 88,000 tons were used in the US in 2007 alone. Regarding glyphosate being found in rain and streams in the Mississippi River Basin; Paul Capel, USGS chemist and author of one study, has this to say: With glyphosate becoming more of an issue and player in the causes of water pollution, it is becoming more apparent that the massive use of this chemical needs to cease.

1	The Sept. 29 death of actress Lois Maxwell, best known as flirtatious secretary Miss Moneypenny in 14 James Bond films, was all the excuse TNT needed to run a monthlong Bond movie marathon, according to sources at the cable network. The Bond marathon comes just weeks after last month's, which aired because the granddaughter of the actor who portrayed Q found out she was accepted to Cambridge University. 'And just in case viewers miss the most recent marathon, we're showing an entire year of Bond when the fourth Indiana Jones movie comes out,' TNT programming director Michael Lemke said Monday. 'Sean Connery, if you remember, was in the third one.' The Bond marathon will premiere Monday, will be rebroadcast in November after a weekend Shawshank Redemption marathon, and anytime TNT has a 12-hour gap to fill in its schedule. 
2	White House Scrambles To Scrub This Video From The Internet [VIDEO] Despite his desperate claims that he is a Christian, 17% of the American population still believes that Barack Obama is a Muslim. During his campaign for president in 2008, Obama first came forward to express his faith in an interview with Christian Today magazine. I am a Christian, and I am a devout Christian, he stated. I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Many believe that these claims were designed to help the President win the election, especially since there are several pieces of evidence that point to his Muslim background. The United States has been enriched by Muslim Americans, Obama once claimed. Many other Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim-majority countryI know because I am one of them. Lets not forget that Obamas middle name is Hussein, referencing Husayn, the grandson of Muhammad. What do you think? Does Obama continue to lie to the American public?

After gaining the support of millions during Dancing with the Stars, she has become a symbol of Christian values, maintaining that she is waiting to have relations with her boyfriend until they are married. And in case that becomes more difficult, Phil Robertson is standing by ready to intervene. Every time you bring a boyfriend over, Papaw Phil says, Hey, nice to meet you. Then he says Keep it in your pants, brother, Sadie told the Boston Herald. Its so awkward! Sadie then went on to address her public relationship with 18-year-old Blake Coward. Basically, were best friends, Sadie continued. Hes a great guy who really has a heart searching for God. Hes not perfect but he strives to be, and thats all I can ask for. Hes really good at being kind. Do you support Sadie Robertson and her ability to maintain her Christian faith, even in the spotlight? 
1	AUSTIN, TXAn argument between local hipsters Dan Walters and Brian Guterman has devolved to the point where each is angrily calling the other 'hipster,' those close to the pair reported Monday. 'Hey, hipster! Here's 12 buckswhy don't you go get yourself a bucket of PBRs at the Gold Mine?' Walters, 22, is said to have told Guterman, 22, invoking the name of a local bar known for its 'poseur' clientele. 'Whatever you say, scenester,' Guterman allegedly replied. 'Don't you have a Death Cab For Cutie show to be at right now?' Acquaintances of Guterman and Walters trace the long-running conflict back to high school, when they reportedly threw pencils at each other and argued about who was more 'emo.' 
2	BREAKING: ISIS Beheads A Mother... According to some very disturbing new reports, ISIS has conducted another beheading. This time, the victim is a female Kurdish soldier in Kobane. Along with the announcement of the beheading of the young mother, they posted pictures of a number of dead soldiers online. ISIS soldiers also posted a picture of a group of dead female Peshmerga soldiers, following an assault that took place in Syria. The actions prove what many already believe to be true: that Islam is absolutely responsible for the furtherance of brutality against and suppression of women. And even the murder of women. This latest beheading is just an example of honor killings that are considered by radical Islamists to be acceptable. What do you think? Does ISIS need to be taken down immediately? 
1	After surpassing Joe Montana last weekend to claim the all-time NFL record for most postseason touchdown passes, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady told reporters Friday that Montana sucks total shit and that he himself is way, way better than the retired San Francisco 49ers legend. Joe Montana is terrible, and Im a much better quarterback than he ever was, said Brady, noting that it felt particularly good to break Montanas record and prove that he is far superior to that talentless bum. And while were on the subject: John Elway sucks; Roger Staubach sucks; Terry Bradshaw sucks; Troy Aikman sucks; Dan Marino sucks; Steve Young sucks; Bart Starr sucks; and Johnny Unitas sucks. They all suck compared to me. Theyre terrible quarterbacks, and Im a great quarterbackthe greatest quarterback who ever lived. Me. Im the best. Brady went on to say that although the Patriots are unquestionably the best football team of all time, it is only because of his own contributions, and that he would have been able to achieve just as much without any of his teammates or coaches. 
2	BREAKING: New Years Suicide Bomber Terror Ensues According to shocking news reports, one person was seriously injured this week when a suicide bomber, estimated to be around 10 years old, blew herself up in a New Years Eve attack in the northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri. According to witnesses and aid workers, the girl approached a crowd of people to buy noodles from a food vendor in the Customs area of the city at around 9:30 PM. She then detonated her explosives. Though no one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, it does bear similarities to attacks of Boko Haram Islamists, who are famous for using suicide bombersmostly women and young girlsto attack civilian targets. The girl walked towards the crowd but she blew up before she could reach her target, witness Grema Usman, who lives in the area, told reporters. She died instantly, while one person was seriously hurt after he was hit by shrapnel. Judging from her corpse, the girl was around 10 years old. The girl was clearly not more than 10 and this could have made her too nervous, making her to detonate the explosive prematurely, an aid worker involved in the evacuation of the body told reporters. Borno state police spokesman Victor Isuku delivered more chilling news, announcing that a second female suicide bomber was caught and lynched by a mob. Her bomb was detonated later by security forces. Authorities suspect Boko Haram, whose seven-year insurgency has killed almost 20,000 and displaced millions of others. The attack came just one week after Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari said the jihadist group had been routed from Sambisa forest. 
2	Minister Warns Obama: 2 In Every 100 Syrian Refugees Are ISIS Terrorists, See Obamas Response According to Lebanese education minister Elias Bousaab, ISIS is in the process of sending trained jihadists under cover to attack the West. Bousaab made the shocking claims in a meeting with the UKs Prime Minister. If what he is saying is true, that means that 200 of the 10,000 refugees Obama intends to welcome into the United States by 2016 are ready to attack our country. According to Bousaab, the extremists have been trained to choose targets in refugee camps and schools before tracking them into Europe by way of Turkey or Greece. What do you think? Does Obama need to rethink his plan to let refugees flow into the U.S.? Are you tired of him putting our country at serious risk? 
3	The Feds New Mandatory Vaccination Bill before CongressBy Catherine J. Frompovich Heres where vaccine/vaccination issues and problems in the USA become ratcheted up to a fever pitch. May 1st, 2015 Congresswoman Frederica S Wilson (D-FL-24) introduced HR2232, The Vaccinate All Children Act of 2015 To amend the Public Health Service Act to condition receipt by States (and political subdivisions and public entities of States) of preventive health services grants on the establishment of a State requirement for students in public elementary and secondary schools to be vaccinated in accordance with the recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, and for other purposes. [1] Its been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. The bills language basically does away with all exemptions except a medical exemption using this language: (A) certifying that the physician has personally examined the student during the preceding 12 months; and (B) certifying that, in the physicians opinion, the physical condition of the student is such that the students health would be endangered by the vaccination involved; and (C) demonstrating (to the satisfaction of the individual in charge of the health program at the students school) that the physicians opinion conforms to the accepted standard of medical care. Note that C indicates students schools will be the determining authority as [to the satisfaction of the individual in charge of the health program at the students school] regarding a childs health / vaccine status, not the childs parents! Parents, what do you have to say about that? Since HR2232 basically provides funding to public schools based and dependent upon vaccination records, schools, in essence, will be the keeper of the keys regarding children. That, no doubt, is tantamount to forfeiture of children over to the state education systemsomething that reminds one of what happened in Russia under Stalin and the infamous Childrens World. [2] Members of Congress and all parents need to wonder if such proposed legislation as HR2232 could become a prelude to what happened under Stalin: Of course, millions could not escape Stalins Great Terror. Included among those affected by the purges were hundreds of thousands of children whose parents disappeared into the bowels of Lubyanka. Made orphans by the state, these children of enemies of the people became wards of the state. The lucky were taken in by brave relatives or merely dispatched to childrens homes (detdomy / ); the less fortunate were swept up into the network of childrens prison labor camps that had emerged in the the mid 1930s. [2] I offer that HR2232 is the slipperiest of all slopes heading in the direction of everything un-American, un-Constitutional and definitely posturing drumbeats of totalitarianism, which is defined as a political system in which the state holds total authority over the society and seeks to control all aspects of public and private life wherever possible. [3] [CJF emphasis added] Either Congresswoman Wilsons American dream has turned into a nightmare affecting everyone or shes been visited by too many Big Pharma lobbyists. If ever there were a proposed piece of legislation that needs to be opposed, HR2232 is it! Instead of HR2232, there is legislation that definitely needs to be introduced: Just in case readers need a reminder about whats at stake with vaccines, and forced vaccinations, the folks at Vaccine Liberation Army created a public service PowerPoint presentation that drives home serious issues that federal and state health agencies constantly push under a consensus rug or as coincidental. For an immune-suppressed child, the risk of infection from a live, attenuated virus vaccine is small compared to the risk of infection from exposure to someone with a vaccine-preventable disease. It is still recommended for your immune suppressed child: What does that tell you? It says unequivocally that recently vaccinated individuals can spread the very diseases they have been vaccinated against! So, if vaccines were so safe and fool-proof, why should parents be concerned about unvaccinated children? Its the vaccinated who are spreading diseases and also contracting the very diseases for which they have been vaccinated. Heres some interesting spin about whooping cough, which readers may find somewhat amusing for its apparent attempt at circular logic. Wikipedia defines circular logic as a logical fallacy in which the reasoner begins with what they are trying to end with. On slide 11 we see every parents worst nightmare: a vaccine-induced adverse event. The photograph below is that of Ian Gromowski. This poor child died at 47 days old, never having left the hospital after a severe reaction to his Hepatitis B shota vaccine that is medically unnecessary unless the birth mother tested positive for Hepatitis B, in my opinion. Hepatitis B is contracted via dirty street drugs needles and sexual activity! Congresswoman Wilsons HR2232 seems to fit that definition.

1	Noting that no marine species posed a threat and the total domination of its habitat, a study released Wednesday by researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara revealed that the floating mass of trash known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is now the oceans apex predator. We examined various aquatic food chains from top to bottom and determined that no other species comes close to challenging the garbage patchs supremacy in the northern Pacific Ocean, said Dr. Rebecca Corson, adding that the Texas-sized expanse of discarded plastics and chemical sludge easily displaced such large carnivores as the tiger shark and orca whale from their former place atop the marine pecking order. The garbage patch can thrive in every ocean climate and devours whatever is in its path, whether it is plants, animals, or thousands of discarded styrofoam takeout containers. Corson added that at the current rate of growth, the buoyant mass of marine debris would surpass humans as earths most dominant force by 2045.

3	Nanotech, Terra-Forming, Transhumanism, and YouAnn Gordon, RN, Contributor Lets start with food for example. The bio-availability of the nutrients in our food seems to be getting interrupted. Could it be the irradiation or modification of foods? Some believe that the reason for the obesity problems could actually be a lack of nutrition, a slow starvation, because the nutrition cannot get into the cells. Weather modification is nothing new, and researchers claim that the residues from spraying create toxic effects on our health, plants, and animals. We seem to be ingesting experimental aerosolized air, tainted water (with fluoride, pharmaceuticals, etc.), faked food, and untested medicines. Asthma cases are soaring, as are mysterious flu-like symptoms. But that is only the tip of a very chilling future according to many thinkers. Hollywood is helping us to be de-sensitized to words, through popular movies. For example, many science fiction movies feature flesh eating zombies (mutated humans), and terra-forming earth. Academic futurists are talking about Transhumanism, and popular magazines illustrates how a future man might physically appear. Yet, Terra-Forming the environment (geo-engineering) and changing the nature of man needs some forethought. If the skies are sprayed with aerosols, as many documents note, (to reflect the sunlight preventing warming), serious consequences seem obvious. Ultimately, are we hurting ourselves and future generations? We have already created plastic antibodies. We have smart pills, smart chicken, smart water, smart washers, and asmart grid. Smart is a marketing word, like the new modern, but often with an altered brew. Today, we get artificial (plastic) body parts, and create new life in vitro, (cellular engineering). In short, were already ingesting new chemicals, plastics, nano particles, while being bombarded 24/7 by invisible electromagnetic frequencies (ELFs). We are told everything is safe, but is it? How do you feel? Transhumanism looks into the future for man decades, based on todays technologies. We already have cryonics (preservation of cells). Virtual reality already mimics reality, and soon will include our sense of touch, (haptics). It is suggested that people might prefer the virtual reality of the future to reality. Sophisticated biotechnology combined with nanotechnology will become so convenient and tiny, that the everyday person will want to implant them (for convenience or prestige). New vaccines are on the horizon for countless ailments, with needle-less creative ways to ingest them. Yum. Before embracing all new technologies sold to us to improve our lives, it might be wise to take a very close look at the non-monetary price you will pay especially when linked to potential harmful side effects. Start with what you can do for you or your loved ones and learn what you are putting into your bodies willingly. This article first appeared at GreenMedInfo.

2	Feds Move In On Hillary After She Gets Exposed Lying Under Oath, Her Career Is Over Time and time again, presidential hopeful and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton promised the American people that she had turned over all of her work-related email from her private email server. And time and time again, shes proven to be a liar. I have directed that all of my emails on clintonemail.com in my custody that were or potentially were federal records be provided to the Department of State, Clinton stated in a court order, under oath. Of course, since that statement was made, new emails have been discovered by the State Department. We dont put it past Hillary to lie under oath. Lets not forget that when the investigation first began, Clinton insisted that she used her Blackberry as her primary email device, and the emails no longer existed. Still Clinton claims that she is being as transparent as possible, more than anybody else ever has been. What do you think? Do we need to keep Hillary as far from the White House as possible? 
2	Soldier Meets 3 Stray Dogs. Watch What Happens When A Bomb Goes Off [VIDEO] The relationship between a man and a dog is a truly remarkable one. But the bond between a soldier and a dog is unbreakable. Sgt. Chris Duke was serving in Afghanistan when a suicide bomber attempted to attack his base in the middle of the night. Luckily, his life was spared when three stray dogs adopted by the soldiers sounded the alarm by barking at the intruder. Rufus, Target, and Sasha did more than just howl, however. They actually blocked the bomber from entering the camp, attacking him and causing the bomb to detonate before he could enter the building. All 50 soldiers survived the attack. Unfortunately, however, Sasha died from the injuries she so heroically sustained. When Duke got home, he went above and beyond to bring Rufus and Target home from Afghanistan. By reaching out to Hope for the Warriors, he was able to bring his furry heroes home. Watch the reunion below and tell us what you think. Are these dogs truly remarkable? 
3	Wells Fargo Just Admitted to Robbing US Citizens by Deceiving the Govt and No One Was ChargedBy Matt Agorist On Friday, the largest US mortgage lender and third-largest US bank admitted to deceiving the U.S. government into insuring thousands of risky mortgages. According to the settlement, Wells Fargo admits, acknowledges, and accepts responsibility for having from 2001 to 2008 falsely certified that many of its home loans qualified for Federal Housing Administration insurance, reports Reuters. Wells Fargo also admitted to having from 2002 to 2010 failed to file timely reports on several thousand loans that had material defects or were badly underwritten, a process that Kurt Lofrano, a former Wells Fargo vice president, was responsible for supervising. The intentional deception by this corrupt bank led to an insurmountable debt liability for American taxpayers as the FHA was forced to pay out insurance claims on all the defective loans. As Reuters reports, Fridays settlement is a reproach for years of reckless underwriting at Wells Fargo, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara in Manhattan said in a statement. While Wells Fargo enjoyed huge profits from its FHA loan business, the government was left holding the bag when the bad loans went bust, Bharara added. However, Bhararas words ring hollow when looking at the banks punishment. For robbing the public through defrauding the US government, not one single Wells Fargo employee will face criminal charges. The bank was merely ordered to pay a $1.2 billion fine. This is barely a slap on the wrist considering the turmoil that ensued from such criminal practices. This punishment is also a kick in the teeth to the American public who are the ones who suffer most from these megabanks fleecing the country through irresponsible and fraudulent actions only to be quantitatively eased back into profitable standing. Franklin Codel, president of Wells Fargo Home Lending, in a statement, said the settlement allows us to put the legal process behind us, and to focus our resources and energy on what we do best serving the needs of the nations homeowners. Imagine for a moment that a rapist, responsible for raping thousands of women, was just let off with a fine and responded with a similar statement. Wells Fargo, who financially raped the public for nearly a decade, is essentially saying, I have been raping women for years, but we can put that behind us now and focus our energy on moving forward. And the government thinks this is okay. With their track record of letting megabanks run amok in the US, this settlement comes as no surprise. Bank of America Corp (BAC.N), Citigroup Inc (C.N), Deutsche Bank AG (DBKGn.DE) and JPMorgan Chase Co (JPM.N), have all previously settled similar federal lawsuits again, with no one being held criminally responsible. Until the people wake up to the atrocities being carried out against them by criminal bankers who control the government, this fleecing of the citizenry will continue. To all those who bank with any of these huge banks pull your money out today, move it to a local bank, or find another alternative. Failing to do so only sustains their criminal behavior. Please share this story with your friends and family as it will most assuredly be a mere blip on their televisions and deliberately easy to miss.

3	Zika: What Went Wrong with the Mosquitoes?By Catherine J. Frompovich The actors include: 1) genetically-modified mosquitoes; 2) Oxitec, a spinoff of Oxford University; 3) an apparent new virulent strain of Zika virus; and 4) microcephalatic babies. The most unfortunate aspect of technology gone off the railsmosquito bioengineeringapparently resulted in the Death Gene blockage, using the GATA binding protein, has affected the same gene in human embryos as is targeted in mosquito pupae! [1] If that truly is the scientific snafudeliberate or accidentalthen some heads at various levels need to roll, figuratively speaking. Who will be made accountable for such a horrendous technological horror impacting innocent babies, the future of humankind? According to an exquisitely researched paper written by Yoichi Shimatsu [1], heres what apparently went wrong: The OX513-A captive mosquito program releases protein-carrier male mosquitoes to mate with the wild local female mosquitoes. The lethal protein enters the eggs to disrupt embyonic [sic: s/b embryonic] growth, causing the offspring to self-destruct (auto-side) before they reach adulthood. However, these same mother mosquitoes can then transfer the dangerous protein into women, thereby seriously harming human embryonic development of the brain, nerves, heart and testicles. Damage to the GATA-1 protein in human embryos is associated with Down Syndrome, a brain disorder similar to Brazilian microcephaly. (While there are many other causes of microcephaly, the new Brazil type is extraordinarily severe.) Shimatsus article is so well researched and written, that I wish to defer and refer my readers to it here and not steal any of his journalistic thunder. But, before I end this blog and to entice you into reading Shimatsus entire article, heres something that ought to get your attention: The first major outbreak of Zika virus occurred in April and May 2007 on Yap island, a part of the Federated States of Micronesia in the South Pacific. Of the islands 7,400 residents, antibodies against Zika were found in 74 percent of the population. No deaths were attributed to ZIKA, and none of the patients were hospitalized. Long-term nerve damage known as Guillaine-Barre Syndrome was reported. In the following year, local health workers reported an increase in cases of microcephaly in newborns, a claim disputed in other reports. The Yap outbreak was an extraordinary phenomenon for several reasons. Over the past 60 years since its discovery by the Rockefeller Institute in a monkey in the Zika Valley of Uganda, only 14 cases in humans had been reported. The distance from the coast of East Africa to Yap is 11,000 kilometers, and not a single resident of Yap had ever visited Africa. A few Filipinos, presumably medical workers, had contact with Zika virus, but none were reported in Yap. Yap is an isolated island community making it an ideal laboratory for an illegal human experiment and clinical study. The nearest major island is Guam, the former headquarters of the U.S. Naval Research Lab 2, which had since been relocated to Indonesia (where it supplied lab assistants to the notorious super-flu researcher Yoshihiro Kawaoka at University of Wisconsin). The local health care system is primarily funded with U.S. foreign aid. [CJF emphasis added] The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation donated more than 300,000 US dollars toward the Oxitec mosquito-release trial in the Cayman Islands and in Brazil. Please read Shimatsus entire article and share it with your friends. Somethings not kosher regarding Zika and microcephaly, I offer. Start asking pointed questions of everyone in the healthcare system, federal and state government agencies. We have to let them know that we know they are messing around and we wont fall for the fake pandemics they apparently are engineering, or should I say bioengineering.

3	Israel Running Drills As Russian Plane CrashesBy Brandon Turbeville At times, given the nature of the global world order in 2015, false flag events may be committed by a collection of countries and their security apparatus in order to blame the opposing collection of nations, a target nation, or a shadowy terrorist group that provides ample justification for whatever action the collective national organization desires. With the crash of the Russian airliner over the Sinai Peninsula and the subsequent claims suggesting that the crash was due to the placement of a bomb on board the plane, one should already be suspicious of treachery related to the aftereffects of the explosion. This is particularly of interest in a case such as this where Western/Israeli/NATO forces control the very terrorist organizations allegedly responsible for bombing the aircraft (if that is, in fact, what happened) and where Russia is one of the leaders in fighting those terrorist organizations and the hegemony of the Anglo-American establishment. With that in mind, it is important to note that before, during, and after the Russian jet crashed, the Israeli military along with the United States, German, Austrian, British, French, Greek, and Polish militaries were engaged in a drill that involved a fictional enemy state. The drill was named Blue Flag and was the second Blue Flag exercise since 2013, when the exercise marked the largest drill the IAF had ever taken part in up to that time. The IAF Captain in charge of the exercises stated that all participating militaries cooperated at every step of the way. The exercise began on October 18 and was scheduled to run until November 5 according to the Times of Israel. The Times of Israel reports: Those requests [from participating countries]came together to form the plan for Blue Flag, which sent Israeli and American F-15 squadrons, along with Israeli, Hellenic and Polish F-16 squadrons, flying through nearly all of Israels air space, firing simulated weapons against fictional enemy missile launchers, convoys and aircraft, he said. Though the drill was intensive and demanding, it was designed more to test the mettle of the men and women behind the controls than to test the technical capabilities of the fighter jets themselves. We wanted it to be challenging for the airmen, rather than for the machines, said the IAF captain, who cannot be named for security reasons. In order to put the airmen through their paces, he explained, the people running the exercise tried to surprise them, putting them in situations where the pilot doesnt know where their target is coming from. While Defense News reported that the drill had been concluded by October 29, it describes the nature of the drill further. It states, Hundreds of air warriors and technicians from Israel, the US, Greece and Poland concluded here Thursday a two-week drill designed to hone the type of joint planning, targeting and coordinated command-and-control demanded by coalitions operating in complex Mideast theaters. . . . . . It involved dozens of F-15 and F-16 fighters flying nearly 250 sorties over much of the country in scenarios that simulated air to air-battles and attacks on fixed and moving targets amid threats from surface-to-air missile batteries and shoulder-fired missiles. While the drill took place mostly in the Arava desert, a location near the southern region of Israel, all available airspace over Israel was taken advantage of and much of the country was covered in the exercise. To be clear, the fact that Israel conducted its air drill around the same time as the Russian plane crash is not a smoking gun of Israeli involvement in the tragedy. But it is highly suspicious to say the least, considering how many times in the past a military drill has been conducted shortly before, during, or after a major terrorist attack that is subsequently used for propaganda purposes.[1] It should also be made clear that, while Western countries have already decided that the explosion was due to a bomb placed on board the plane by ISIS, Russian investigators have displayed much cooler heads and have argued for a thorough investigation before any proclamations are made. At best, this immediate declaration of an ISIS-based bomb is an attempt not to allow a tragedy to go to waste. At worst, the attack was perpetrated by Western/Israeli intelligence as a message to the Russian people to stay out of Syria, and the subsequent claims by ISIS merely being an attempt to gain control over the narrative before Russias cooler heads can express their findings. Regardless, if the plane was truly a victim of a bomb placed on board by a terrorist organization, the guilt will be on the hands of the Western regimes that have supported these organizations from day one.

All roads lead to Israel The explosives heat signature recording showed that the origin and destination were in the same place. So, this was not a projectile fired from a military aircraft. You saw the heat signature recording? You must be able to access the US intelligence service findings And you didnt hear about the heat signature evidence from several official sources, I take it? What am I saying, everything is a conspiracy! Stupid me I wouldnt call you stupid at all. That point is clear. Whats not really clear though is the real truth from official sources. From the Vietnam war to the Afghanistan one, and the additional ones afterwards, the whole world has seen how twisted the official sources have been when it was time to either discredit a country refusing to bend over backwards to please the US empire geopolitics, call its head of State a dictator (when the US has dozens of them, to control countries accepting to bend over When 911 truth will have been factually and fully known, the official sources in place on that terrible day will be known, but I doubt theyll be sued in international courts for crimes against humanity, war crimes If you have several official independent sources that concur, there is a higher probability of a truthful outcome. But Of COURSE, the halfascist USraeli PNAC attackers and ARAVA ZioNazis have no regard for innocent lives! USS Liberty !!! 
3	Further Crackdown On Dissent As The Elite Prepare For Mass UprisingSpanish interior minister Jorge Fernandez Diaz yesterday announced in Congress planned reforms that would introduce harsh new punishments for those involved in organizing street protests that seriously disturb the public peace. A minimum jail term of two years could be imposed on thosefound guilty of instigating and carrying out violent acts of protest, and organizing such demonstrations through social networks would carry the same penalty as involvement in a criminal organization. We can expect to see such legislation enacted across the Western world, as governments prepare for the unrest that is inevitably going to spread and intensify as living standards plummet, due to the theft and corruption of the political and financial elite. Greece, Spain and Italy have all seen recent mass protests against austerity, and whilst last years riots in England were not overtly political in nature, they were certainly a reflection of a rotten system that has dispossessed a whole generation of young people, who have little hope of a productive or comfortable future. During the riots many suggested deploying the army on the streets, and there has been much talk of using water cannons and rubber bullets; this week it was revealed that the British police areconsidering the use of chemical agents to deal with rioters. How long will it be before such methods, sold on the pretense of being solely for use in violent riots, are used more generally against peaceful protestors and those engaged in acts of civil disobedience? We are also seeing a concerted effort by Western governments to restrict and control the Internet, which again reflects governmental awareness of, and preparation for, coming mass dissent and revolt. Increasingly draconian legislation is being proposed in all Western nations, with the British government currently planning to monitor all digital communications in real time to keep us safe from terrorists, of course. Whilst promoting violence is clearly unacceptable, recent four-year sentences handed down in England to two men who organized riots on Facebook (attended by no-one other than the police and the Facebook posters, who were promptly arrested) were blatantly out of proportion with the crimes committed. ncreased surveillance and harsh punishments for those who use social media to speak out of line, are both ways in which governments are attempting to quell the fomenting unrest creating a chilling effect on legitimate protest against the wholesale looting of our economies, and attack on our standards of living, by the banksters and their lackeys in government.

3	Consensus shredded; major media up against the wallJon Rappoport But theyre winning. Every dollar and inch of technology the networks employ move toward an irrefutable image on the screen. Here it is. Look. And counter-programmers say, Look again. See those guys in the yellow jackets standing right near the bomb when it goes off? They dont move at all. Theyre fine. There is something very powerful in that response, because people are addicted to images. When the image youre watching blows up, because somebody forces you to see something new, you start to wake up and effect a cure, even if you dont want to. Image-addiction is sacred to people. No one goes to the movies and comes out saying, You know, images dont really add up to anything. Its a waste of time. No one walks into the Sistine Chapel, looks at Michelangelos ceiling, and says, Why did they bother? They could have just written down a message to explain what the ceiling means. No one asks, Why did they have the president sit there in the Oval Office and address the nation? He could have written a statement or talked on radio. Image. Unbeatable. So when major media cover a monster of the story, on television, theyre producing images by the ton, day after day, and the anchors are telling us what they add up to, and most viewers soak it all in and accept the force of it as irresistible truth. What are the odds? Virtually zero. Of course, the networks are unwilling to admit mistakes or lies. But at another level, this is televisions unwillingness to injure the medium itself and what it does. We showed you all those images and we burned them into your brains, to program you, and now were going to say that was an illusion? Never happens. The people who own and run television never turn around, on a huge story, and endanger their medium by admitting that the images were deceptions. Because theyre drug dealers, and their drug is Image. If the Constitution were written today, people would want to watch it being done, in the room in Philadelphia. Theyd want to watch the men at work. Theyd want to make up their minds about the Constitution as they would any other television show. Well, today, amid long-winded arguments about the proposed Bill of Rights, audience share dropped eight points. Why does Obama take the Sandy Hook parents around with him, as he promotes his gun agenda? So audiences can hear them speak? So audiences can see them speak. Why do the networks lay on those interminable news-talk programs, with hosts and guests? Why dont they consign them to radio? Because people want to see the participants talk. Image. Here, lets sit down and watch these six people talk. Lets see what they look like when they talk. I love watching Chris Matthews talk. Now, when a person gets on (Internet) TV and blows up major media and exposes it and tears it from stem to stern, thats different. Thats counter-programming. People start to come out of a dream-state and realize theyre finally watching something theyve been longing for: Heres a television image. See it? Its a lie. Its not what you think it is. Lets do this in slow motion, one frame at a time. Look at the corner over there. Do you see the yellow glare suddenly appearing at the top of the screen? Just beyond the plume of smoke? At the top left? That yellow glare isnt connected to the burning fertilizer factory in the center of the screen. Its separate! Its coming in from the left. And then, less than a second later, the whole building explodes! See it? So what was that glare at the top left? Think about it. Consider the possibilities. For example, the burning building wouldnt have blown up all on its ownsomething came in from the left and blew it up Taking an image apart. Its the beginning of the end of television. And thats exactly whats happening now, 24/7, wherever videos are posted on the Net. The assault is well underway. Look at that gas mask on the ground behind the Aurora theater. Who does it belong to? Was a second shooter wearing it? And there on the pavement, is that a trail of blood leading into the theater? Dont worry about the fact that some of these counter-programmers are making mistakes or unwarranted leaps of judgment. The overall force is taking down television. Impaling it on its own sword: image. Television desperately needs events like Aurora, Sandy Hook, and Boston. When the big tragedies hit, and the elite anchors go on the road and show up in the towns where the blood is spilling and the people are in a state of extreme shock, the television audience at home gets another deep injection of mass mind control, through image-insertion. But now, within days, even hours, counter-programmers are striking back, by playing network broadcast footage and pointing out flaws and contradictions and mistakes and deceptions, and posting these findings. You thought image was the end-all and be-all. All right, look at this! Crash a picture, take it apart, re-explain it, and you make people think. This is the formula thats burying television. Its exactly what surrealists did a hundred years ago. Max Ernst, Andre Breton, Alfred Jarry, Dali. But today, its happening to the news, to television. Right now. Story by story. For all to see. Among many other reasons, this is why were witnessing the effort to censor and control the Internet. The news networks want to assert a propriety of copyright on their footage and punish those who use it against them. Backed by billions of dollars, Brian Williams and Scott Pelley and Diane Sawyer say this and show that, and one guy in Ohio says NO and ILL PROVE IT TO YOU WITH YOUR OWN IMAGES. The hounds are loose. These hounds are sitting in rooms making the networks and the greatest law-enforcement agencies in the world look like cheap hawkers at carnivals. Frame by frame. Umberto Eco, in 1979, wrote: A democratic civilization will save itself only if it makes the language of the image into a stimulus for critical reflectionnot an invitation for hypnosis. No, Umberto, there was never any chance of that happening. Not as an official program of the culture. Instead, we have a new breed now. And theyre buzzsawing those images, splitting them open. Big newspapers have so-called television critics who size up shows and comment on them. The Internet has television critics who magnify news footage and point to what nobody saw in it. Watch this Sandy Hook father who just lost his child come to the podium to speak. Watch. See him smiling and laughing? Watch it again. Here it is. What do you make of that? Keep looking. See him get into character all of a sudden? See him make himself grieve right there? Are you kidding? Whats really going on here? See the puff of smoke from the first bomb in Boston? It goes straight up. Not out into the street. See those people near the explosion? Do they look bothered by it in any way? Theyre just standing there. These counter-programmers are cracking peoples junk-image-addiction by showing them a higher order of those images. Remember Wag the Dog, that splendid movie about inventing a fictitious war in order to get a president re-elected? The president had to have a war. He was sagging in the polls. So the war was put on television. But theres another layer to the story. Television needed the fake war, too. It always needs staged events. Without them it would shrivel and die. Except the events have to look exactly like real life. When counter-programmers get busy, they reveal the staging, and the whole business falls to pieces. Hooked? Do you feel like youre going to die if you dont turn on the TV set? Sign up for our ten-day cure. Well turn you into a counter-programmer. Well take you through our wake-up course in image analysis, and youll come out the other side as a meta-wizard, ready to take on the world of false news. To say this is corrosive to network television news is a vast understatement. Its a Waterloo. Against the citizen video-analysts, television would have only one solution: stop broadcasting footage. Here is a fragment from a short story I wrote a few days after the Aurora theater massacre. It illustrates the potential effect of a counter-programmer: I sat in my private cabin and watched wall screens displaying decks on the slow-moving airship; I understood there were seven levels. On Deck Three, I saw Mr. R. Smith-Jones, a fifth-generation android, who was occupying two rows. He was propped up on a wheelchair-couch. He was growling and snarling at a doughy flight attendant turned out in a jeans tuxedo and a sombrero made of balloons and artificial peacock feathers. Smith-Jones infamous three-year case, tried in the Superior Court of Newfoundland New York, had ground to a halt, when Judge Sleepy Shigitz decided Smith-Jones had earned the right to multiple classifications of Life Disabled. On the screen, Smith-Jones was waving two objects which, to me, looked like cataclysmic salt shakers. They were spewing crystals that emitted smoke when they hit the air. Passengers started coughing. Then I realized Smith-Jones was holding patterning cylinders hed pulled from his innards. These cylinders played a major role in what his Alamo designers called Repetitive Accommodation. I knew this because Smith-Jones had pulled the trick a number of times, on each occasion subsequently filing suit for environmental incursion. Once, as porters were pushing him up the Matterhorn in his wheel-chair couch, hed yanked out the cylinders, asserting the thinning atmosphere was slowing down his speech-recognition faculty; hed won a major settlement in a Swiss tribunal. All in all, over the course of a hundred years, Smith-Jones lawsuits had earned him more than twenty billion dollars. Now he was foaming at the mouth and spitting. He doubled over and a siren went off. It was amplified by a speaker in his skull. A security guard appeared with a riot baton and sent a blue fork of electricity into his genitals, quieting him somewhat. Smith-Jones was the majority stockholder of NBCCBSABC Networks, Inc. As such, he had at his disposal the InZap technology. He deployed it now. At horrific high speed, he began broadcasting images of a flaming city and people dying and crackling in the heat. Then, black tanks appeared. Soldiers dressed in combat gear moved in and sprayed streets with chemical retardant from wide hoses. The flames died. Other soldiers ran down and arrested two fleeing suspects, and the InZAP emitted waves of relief throughout Smith-Jones cabin. People wept in their seats. Smith-Jones said, Thus we are rescued. Thank God, one passenger said. A scruffy boy stood up and aimed his cell at a white wall. Pictures appeared there. As you can see, he said, people actually fried and died, but over at the far right of the street, a soldier is setting the initial fire. See him? The two suspects they caught later were patsies. Everyone looked, and everyone froze. Smith-Jones said, You dont understand. I can take all those images away, as if theyd never existed. I own them. Right, the boy said. But then what are you going to put on television? Giraffes? Peaceful streets at night under a warm moon? Three days later, I would learn that: reclining in his suite at the Ritz Hotel in Beverly Hills, sketching out yet another cause-for-action, this time for improper Hotel tech support on his (merely decorative) breathing apparatus, Smith-Jones stopped functioning. He entered a state of paralysis. He shut down. According to Hotel employees, he wore an unchanging expression of sadness. On his night table, hed left a note: My existence is zero. I seem to be employing an unending string of morons who cant plan and execute a disaster without exposing themselves. Its a bit ironic that the desecration of IQ Ive fostered all these years, through the medium I own and control, has also been my undoing. Operatives are now unable to perform. I hire them; they fail me. The entire population has brains of oatmeal. Yet, when some nobody points out a fatal flaw in my news stream, they all begin to wake up. How is that possible? I could sue and sue and sue and gain all the money in the world, but it appears Im incapable of placing humans in a trance whereby they forget Im just a machine, a heartless bastard of a machine. And thats all I ever wanted. To make people think of me as one of their own. But I never will. And now I am Not.

1	Despite local 22-year-old Sam Tillards best efforts to keep things quiet when he was invited home by girlfriend Jenny Nesbitt late last night, a report out this morning has confirmed her parents not only woke up but could hear the two in her bedroom the entire time. The report stated that even though their lights were off, Dale and Judy Nesbittwhom Tillard hasnt formally met yetwere fully aware of what was happening in their 21-year-old daughters room, from the moment Tillard coyly mentioned that it felt so wrong to be doing this in [her] childhood bed to the moment he collapsed and asked, Was that good? Nesbitts parents could hear when Tillard parked the car, when he and Jenny came inside, when the two snuck upstairs, when they closed the door to her room, and when they got started, the report read in part, adding that when Tillard paused and asked, Do you think theyre up? the middle-aged couple was definitely up. They could hear the sound of wet lips against skin, their daughter tossing her boots on the floor, and Tillards belt buckle jangling as he worked to free himself from his pants. In fact, its safe to surmise that from where they were situated in the master bedroom of their thin-walled, 1960s ranch-style home, they could hear everything, the report continued. Absolutely everything. According to sources, while some of the initial sounds overheard could technically have been from anything, the emergence of sharp, regularly paced intakes of breath could really have only been from one thing. Nesbitts wide-awake parents, who reportedly lay less than 50 feet away staring silently at the ceiling, could distinctly make out the sound of two people rustling around in bed, and heard both male and female voices emitting periodic grunts and occasional shushing noises. The report confirmed that, unfortunately, they were also able to identify the sound of two naked bodies repeatedly slapping against each other. In addition, sources said, Nesbitts 88-year-old grandmother who lives down the hall could hear everything, too. When Tillard stopped suddenly in the act and told his girlfriend he thought he heard someone coughing in the next room, his suspicion was justified, read another part of the report, noting that Nesbitts fully alert father had indeed cleared his throat, an involuntary physical response resulting from the discomfort he felt in the situation. Even Tillards whispered We need to quiet down or theyll hear us was overheard. Dale and Judy Nesbitt were also quite conscious of the moment when Tillard resumed thrusting, the report added. Although the pair attempted to be as discreet as possible, the report found that the Nesbitts could hear every single compression of the mattress springs, as well as the part where Tillard and their daughter laid down a blanket and moved to the floor for a little bit. This was reportedly no better, as it was accompanied by its own telltale rhythmic thumping. Reached for comment, Nesbitts parents said they were surprised to hear Tillards voice coming from the room at all, since to the best of their knowledge their daughter is still seeing that Mike guy. 
3	The U.S. Has Lost 195,000 Good Paying Energy Industry JobsBy Michael Snyder Just today we got some more disturbing news. According to Challenger, Gray Christmas, the U.S. has lost 195,000 good paying energy jobs since the middle of 2014 Cheap oil has fueled a massive wave of job cuts that may not be over yet. Since oil prices began to fall in mid-2014, cheap crude has been blamed for 195,000 job cuts in the U.S., according to a report published on Thursday by outplacement firm Challenger, Gray Christmas. Its an enormous toll that is especially painful because these tend to be well-paying jobs. The average pay in the oil and gas industry is 84% higher than the national average, according to Goldman Sachs. Those are good-paying jobs that are not easy to replace, and unfortunately the jobs losses appear to be accelerating. In their new report, Challenger, Gray Christmas went on to say that 95,000 of those job cuts have come in 2016, and 17,725 of them were in July alone. We also got some other bad news for the U.S. economy on Thursday. Needless to say, we have never seen such a thing happen outside of a recession. In addition, it is being reported that U.S. banks have been tightening lending standards for four quarters in a row. Once again, this is something that has never happened outside of a recession. On top of all that, tax receipts continue to plummet. This is a very bad sign for the economy, because falling tax receipts are usually a sign that we are headed into a recession. The following comesfrom Zero Hedge July Withheld receipts those tax and withholding payments that come straight from wage earner pay stubs are down 1.0% year over year. This data series can be choppy, and looking at the three month trailing average yields a 3.1%. Thats a touch slower than the 2016 YTD comp of 3.3%, and tells us to not expect too much from Fridays number. Last, corporate tax receipts are down 11% YTD, and if the current pace of these payments holds it will be the first negative comp since 2011. Bottom line: if the tax man isnt as busy, can the U.S. economy really be expanding? Are you starting to see a pattern here? And lets review what else we have learned over the past couple of weeks Meanwhile, things continue to get worse around the rest of the planet as well. For example, the economic depression in Brazil continues to deepen and it is being reported that the Brazilian economy has now been shrinkingfor five quarters in a row Brazils economy, the worlds ninth largest, contracted by 0.3 percent in the first quarter, marking the fifth straight quarter it shrank. Last year, Brazils gross domestic product fell to its lowest level since 2009. Inflation has also shot higher recently, rising 9 percent in 2015, from 6.3 percent in 2014, according to data from the World Bank. Energy as a percentage of exports, meanwhile, fell to 7 percent in 2015, from 9 percent in the previous year. And of course Brazil is hosting the Olympics this summer, and that is turning out to be a major debacle. Many of the international athletes will actually be rowing, sailing and swimming in open waters that are highly contaminated by raw sewage, and Brazilian police have been welcoming tourists to Rio with a big sign that says Welcome To Hell. And let us not forget that right next door in Venezuela the economic collapse has gotten so bad that people are killing and eating zoo animals. As the global economy continues to deteriorate, what should we do? Legendary investor Bill Gross shared some of his thoughts on the matter in his latest Investment Outlook Negative returns and principal losses in many asset categories are increasingly possible unless nominal growth rates reach acceptable levels, Gross said in his latest Investment Outlook note published Wednesday. I dont like bonds; I dont like most stocks; I dont like private equity. Real assets such as land, gold, and tangible plant and equipment at a discount are favored asset categories. I tend to agree with Gross. Bonds are in a tremendous bubble right now, and the stock market bubble has grown to ridiculous proportions. In the end, the only wealth that you are going to be able to fully rely on is wealth that you can physically have in your possession. As you have seen in this article, signs of economic decline are all around us. And yet, many people out there are still convinced that good times are right around the corner. What is it going to take to convince them that they are wrong? 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. So Venezuela 10 Bolivars = $1usd, hmmm might be a good place to retire. Hillary is fighting to bring jobs back to the USSA. She or It or whatever has already created thousands of jobs by hiring warm bodies to fill up the DNC convention. Makes me feel so warm and fuzzy, umm please pass the GMO corn Yep, and you can almost afford a warm GMO meal on the $50 you got to be the warm body in that convention seat, applauding, clapping, stamping and shouting out Go Hillary for 5 hours before being boarded back on the bus. The so called good news is that the economy added 288,000 new jobs last month. The bad news is that they were mostly seasonal, part time, minimum wage ones. Oh, and since Congress expanded the visas for seasonal jobs to make sure no American got them, 99% of those jobs went to foreigners. We the Republic of the USA are being destroyed from within by the corporate monopolies and the corporate government. Read the constitution and wake the F888 up or you will find one day you have been taken by the greatest fraud ever. Maybe better put we are being taken by this fraud at the very moment. To dislodge this evil corporate monopoly will take intelligent people who are not trapped in the mind control of the MSM and T V, sports and wars.. History shows that this will take a deep spiritual awakening that arises from within each one collectively. 
1	ESPN.com visitor Eric Escobedo was forced to endure a full 30-second advertisement for Bank of America on the website Sunday night, an experience he reportedly would not have tolerated had he known the stupid video was just analysis. The headline said that the Bears lost in overtime and made it seem like something exciting, but it was just a bunch of talking about stats from Chicagos last five matchups, said Escobedo, adding that the site did not permit him to skip the ad. Why would they put an analysis video on the front page? I definitely would have sat through the ad for highlights of touchdowns, interceptions, and sacks, or even clips of guys yelling about how the Bears suck. Though frustrated by the experience, Escobedo refused to fault the website for wasting his time, admitting that he had willingly frittered away countless hours over the decades watching pointless analysis from ESPN. 
3	Launching a Homestead Project in Texas!By The Conscious Resistance The basic idea is to buy land in Texas by the end of 2016/early 2017 and form a community of individuals based on the principles of non-aggression, permaculture/sustainability, and mindfulness. The goal is to make the community a hub for education, creation, and networking. The community will focus on becoming independent from all corporate and state systems (power, internet, food, economy, defense) through counter-economic activity.

Intentional, sustainable communities working cooperatively is the solution. The Government will not allow this to be successful.Non-aggression?. You will have to defend yourself at some point Exactly. The government has a history of not allowing people to live independent of the government controlled systems. Many stories of gov. demanding gardens destroyed, condemning homes for not being on the grid, children stolen for daring to teach them how to live off-grid. A non-aggression stance will cause this to fail. Just like you said, gonna have to defend it at some point. If its off the Smart Grid, the government will try to disallow it. Fantastic. Oklahoma is also a refuge for you Americans who are awake and opposed to the Obama-Nations/abominations happening down there. What does a Canadian need to do to live in a community such as this in the US? Any info is appreciated. Same as farm or ranch only with its own energy source. Good luck with avoiding the regularions 
2	BREAKING: Fans Shocked After Clint Eastwood Made This Huge Announcement According to recent reports, Clint Eastwood is considering directing Foxs recent project about Richard Jewell, the security guard who discovered a suspicious backpack at the Olympics compound in 1996 in Atlanta. Jewell is rumored to be played by Jonah Hill, who will help to tell the story of the man deemed to be a potential terrorist. He will also play the hero, helping to clear bystanders from the area before the bomb exploded. Eastwoods involvement in the film would be welcomed, albeit not without controversy. Eastwood has been almost exclusively involved with Warner Brothers, where he has spent the majority of his career. Now, Fox and Warner Bros are reportedly looking into a partnership to help bring the story into production. Other potential participants are Leonardo DiCaprio, slotted to play a layer, and Andy Berman from Misher Films. What do you think of the film? Should Eastwood take the project on? 
1	Saying he came bearing an important message from the past, a stranger from the year 1998 appeared on the Capitol steps Thursday and urged voters not to elect Newt Gingrich president in 2012. 'In the late 20th century, Newt Gingrich is a complete disgrace!' said the time-traveling man, warning Americans that 14 years in the not-so-distant past, Gingrich becomes the only speaker in the history of the House of Representatives to be found guilty on ethics charges, and is later forced to resign. 'In my time, he shuts down the federal government for 28 days because his feelings get hurt over having to sit at the back of Air Force One. Gingrich gets our president impeached for lying about marital infidelities when, at the same time, Gingrich himself is engaged in his own extramarital affairs. And for God's sake, he divorced his first wife after she was diagnosed with cancer. Won't anyone listen to me?!?' When asked about Donald Trump, the time-traveler said he had no information on the man, as no one from 1998 cared about a 'washed-up fake millionaire.' 
3	Agenda 21 and the New World Economy: where happiness mattersJulie Beal, Contributor Do you ever wonder what the world will look like after the collapse? Would the financiers even let this happen? All the talk of gold, silver, and survival tactics, gives the impression that well just be left to make our own merry way after the crash, but its unlikely the elites would let all their power slip away so easily. Indeed not the powers that be are in fact shaping a new economy to rise like a phoenix from the ashes of the old. The world is shape-shifting; we are transitioning to a new global paradigm whereby the world economy is one of several global systems, which can be mapped and modelled by network scientists, who are learning how to control these systems based on mathematically computed predictions,[1] together with trust/risk ratings for each agent (or node) in the economy, garnered from various identity metrics. Ultimately, with the increased sophistication of cognitive computing, the system could be controlled by Big Brothers Big Brain[2]. In fact, our physical, mental, and virtual selves[4] will be our assets[5], and will be part of the global accounting process, along with the virtual record of all our liabilities[6], or negative impact on the earth. This process will produce our new economy; a manifestation of the final synthesis of the Hegelian dialectic: the communitarian ethos of Agenda 21 places people and nature in perpetual conflict, the spark of which creates the economy. Think of it as a system of social credits, carbon debits, or: People + Planet = Profit The world is full of sensors, feeding data to the matrix in real-time, creating a virtual mirror of the real world. All data has value, and these values form an intricately linked network, or ecosystem. In recent years, instead of this being merely perceived value, measurements ofnaturalandsocial capital, have been introduced to give an equivalent value, i.e. a price. This process is accelerated by the communitarian ethos spreading globally; that we all have rights and responsibilities[7], in particular to serve our community and reduce our carbon footprint. These principles are also to be found enshrined in many digital currencies, which are growing quickly around the world. Thus, as our current system collapses, new currencies are being formed, based on the value of nature, people, data and services. Key figures in finance are pushing this process forward; the New Economists have managed toswaythe Occupy movement with their insistence that happiness matters, and promises of complete reform. As theP2P(peer-to-peer/collaborative) economyblooms, and digitalcommunity currenciesgain traction,banks(and telcos) may come to play a newrole; asmediators[8] of trust[9]. The New Economics Consider the current financial system so doomed its already dead and decaying the daily news stream keeps us busy picking over the bones of the old economy. We know full well the fiat system is corrupt; even the mainstream media has been reeling out stories for years, tutting and sighing over yet more greedy bankers and financial glitches. The overall message: this is the end of the road for fiat money, and even capitalism[10], and something must be done. At the same time, other narratives are being formed, giving rise to newmemes and expectations armed with the rhetoric of Agenda 21, the elites have been preparing us for the Great Transition, ortransformation, and are quietly shaping an alternative to the present economical financial system. The central tenets of mainstream economics have been upturned by the New Economics, and key financiers are in agreement on three main points: 1) There is a need to value natural assets, as per Agenda 21 and the push for sustainability and social equity; metrics have been devised to measure, then price, nature. This process is also in full swing when it comes to valuing human, and social, capital. Human capital is how much an individual is worth to, say, UK plc; and social capital refers to the financial returns to be gained from the cumulative value of peoples interactions, or what they produce as a group. The New Economists maintain these measures should provide an alternative to GDP. 2) Community currencies should be promoted, financed, and nurtured, as a means to foster innovation for commerce, and increase resilience and social capital in local networks. Once they reach critical mass, they can be standardized to create a digitized global common tender, such as the Eternal Coin, a concept being investigated by the Long Finance Group. 3) The economy is subject to reflexivity this is a concept promoted by George Soros who for many years has argued that we are not rational agents, as per the current model, and that people react to others, and to events, when making financial decisions, which in turn affects other peoples decisions, and so on. In more recent years, a huge scientific undertaking has been underway to study this idea, since big data has enabled computer simulations of these complex adaptive systems. It is a multi-disciplinary area, known mainly as the study of complexity, using social agent simulations, etc., and is being used to rationalise extensive surveillance (the data can be used to inform public policy), and to make predictions about people. The rhetoric of the New Economics has attracted a great many idealists, due mainly to the fluffy-bunny loveliness of what it promises: world-wide harmony, happiness, and sustainability. But when you realise how many global elites are advocating this system, you start wondering just whats in it for them[11]. Its important, then, to look to the consequences of such a system how it would be in the long run. This is about creating markets for the new capitalists, and consolidating power over natural and human assets. It is the only way to fully operationalise Agenda 21, and balance the three Es[12]. All of the world, and all of her people, are to be quantified, commodified, and traded. It is a tool of global control, and the values it espouses morph horribly into cold hard equations: a price for everything. The economic system is undergoing a controlled demolition; as part of this, there have been lambs led to the slaughter, to serve as icons of the collapse, and to justify the new economic system. Many popular movements are converging on precisely this issue, and the meme of revolution is everywhere. However, it is vital to understand that keyglobal players are funding and promoting the New Economics, and that the concepts it espouses have been widely popularised and entrenched, especially by George Soros through speeches he has given for years on reflexivity, and in recent years, through his Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET), which is now teamed up with the Oxford Martin College in the UK. INET presented their concepts to the World Economic Forum, at Davos. John Fullerton is Founder and President of the Capital Institute, and the principal of an investment firm dealing in high impact sustainable private investments. He worked for JP Morgan for 18 years, managing capital markets and derivatives businesses around the world, and is also executive director of Soros INET. Rob Johnson also worked for JP Morgan, and is an executive director of INET. Both Fullerton and Johnson sit on the Council of Advisors for a think-tank called Redefine, which advises governments on key policy issues. There are numerous other organisations expounding the new economics, convinced its the answer to all our woes; in the UK, the nef (new economics foundation) has been active for years, and has been working in partnership with the European Union. A key figure of the nef, Hazel Henderson, is a member of the Club of Rome[13], which has also played an active part in promoting the new economics. The World Academy of Arts and Sciences is working with the Club of Rome on the on the new economic theory (NET) project. Andrew Haldane, from the Bank of England, spoke at Soros New Bretton Woods conference (Paradigm Lost), and has given a number of speeches in support of the new economics. Joseph Stiglitz is an INET Advisory Board member, and proponent of new metrics for the green economy. Stiglitz and others in the new economics movement have been actively involving Occupy. The New Economy Working Group is another organisation with the same highly moralistic agenda: . we envision a healthy planetary system of cooperative, equitable, locally rooted, rule-based market economies that: This is the hallmark of the new economics its values are sound, but ridiculously idealistic. However, there is scant discussion of the administrative system it entails (such as intense surveillance), nor any of the long-term consequences (which this article will explore). NEWGroup functions as an informal alliance of the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) as an initial policy think tank partner, YES! magazine as an initial media partner, the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE) as an initial business network partner, and the Living Economies Forum as an initial system design partner. Going beyond GDP GDP (gross domestic product) is the measure used globally to assess the economic performance of each country. At the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, 170 nations signed up to Agenda 21, which included Article 40, meaning they pledged to overhaul GDP to reflect infrastructure, social capital, unpaid work, and environmental assets. Going beyond GDP is now quite the fashion, one that extends across the board from the Agenda 21 army, to the globalist financiers, and even the Occupy movement. This new way of thinking is the signature of the new economists, and stresses the need to account for externalities, i.e. to measure, and put a price on, aspects of nature and people, and the data and services they provide. This process uncovers hidden assets, such as the value of voluntary work, and benefits brought by nature, such as tourism. This is said to give a better picture of the overall progress a country is making; and there are already many measuring systems (metrics) being used to facilitate the pricing of aspects of both the green economy, and the social economy. The movement has gathered pace significantly over the last few years, especially since the Beyond GDP conference in 2007, hosted by the European Commission, European Parliament, Club of Rome, OECD and WWF. Speakers included: The United Nations is playing a leading role in implementing this system; earlier this year, for instance, a high level meeting on Wellbeing and Happiness: Defining A New Economic Paradigm was convened by the Prime Minister of Bhutan, Jigmi Y Thinley, following the 2011 UN General Assembly motion which called on governments to promote sustainability, happiness and wellbeing policies, rather than focus merely on GDP. Key attendees included Nobel laureate economist Joseph Stiglitz, former Australian deputy prime minister Tim Fischer, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, HRH Prince Charles, OECD chief statistician Martine Durand, and Indian ecological activist Vandana Shiva. At the conference, Hunter Lovins, founder of Natural Capitalism, proclaimed, We must move rapidly from words to action if the 99% are to find a path to a future that is both just and sustainable. One important step will be to convene an international forum capable of forging agreement on the key principles and institutions for a new, sustainable economic paradigm a Bretton Woods agreement for the 21st century. Also in attendance were more than 600 delegates, including heads of state, Nobel laureates, spiritual, business and community leaders. Then, at the UN Rio+20 summit in June, the Corporate Eco Forum and the Nature Conservancy called for natural capital to be incorporated into accounting systems; the initiative was backed by huge corporations, including Lockheed-Martin, Nike, Unilever, the Coca-Cola Company, Dow Chemical and Disney, with the release of a new report, the New Business Imperative: Valuing Natural Capital. The report complements all the other initiatives which promote going beyond GDP, such as the UNs Natural Capital Declaration, which calls for financial institutions to incorporate natural capital considerations into the risk assessment procedures they undergo before making a loan, equity, bond or insurance products-related decision, and the leaders of 37 banks, investment funds and insurance companies agreed to work towards this end. Bhutan is the testing ground for this new accounting system, and has begun to translate the values of the hidden economy, and incorporate them into their National System of Accounts. This involves assigning monetary figures to nature, and the well-being of its people, as well as the services they perform, such as caring for a sick relative. Assigning monetary values to such natural assets moves them closer to becoming commodified, as has happened with carbon. Sustainability comes to signify the endlessly self-perpetuating stock of natural assets: people and nature endlessly reproduce as a self-replenishing stock of capital. Systems within systems, which can be quantified, simulated, and manipulated. Ben Bernanke recently voiced agreement with measures that go beyond GDP, asserting that the ultimate purpose of economics (is) to understand and promote the enhancement of well-being. The appeal of the new economics lies in its apparent concern for the earth, the health of her people, and holistic thinking, but nobodys thinking about the damage to our health caused by surveillance and rationing. Agenda 21ism is leading to a system of imposed individual allowances, and monitoring of populations to assess well-being. This will rely on citizen surveys, self-reporting, and bodily sensors. Are we all to be subject to regular mobile phone surveys to assess our physical, mental and financial health? The United Nations Global Pulse initiative aims to harness data from sensors and phones and perform real-time analytics on the data to help map and understand trends in well-being over time; partnering with Global Pulse is a company called Jana, which has delivered mobile phone SMS surveys[14] to millions of people in the developing world, combining the survey data with information about economic status, gender, age, literacy, etc.) to assess well-being, and help governments plan their public policies. Collecting data on citizens well-being is a huge invasion of privacy, and assigning monetary values to intangible aspects such as emotions is a big step towards the commodification of the self, where what you are is what youre worth. There are other steps in this direction too reputation rating systems and the trade in consumer data are helping shape new values, increasing the trend towards the monetization of identity. As P2P payment systems grow, and people want to transact remotely, the need to measure trust becomes a fundamental requirement. Intermediaries are required to facilitate this trust between peers and businesses, opening up huge possibilities for data overlords. And of course, there are others who can benefit from this information perfect fodder for the policemans criminal prediction machine, to name but one. Whats more, measuring trust facilitates global social control network science has revealed that all physical networks operate according to universal laws, though social networks have the problem of mind (humans are irrational creatures) and so are less predictable. Trust metrics and game theory help the system control relationships between nodes, by increasing the predictive potential. The New Economics represents the New Morality; social justice and ecological accounting are considered as human rights, and a global responsibility it can also be used to justify population control. After all, if its been measured, its scientific and evidence-based, and thereforerational, right? P2P not P2B? Exploiting the Network Like Occupy, and peer-to-peer, or P2P, networks, community currencies currently signify power to the people and grassroots change that challenges the status quo. However, it is relatively easy for such power to be subverted by the elites, and used to their own globalist advantage. Network science has revealed that people form complex adaptive systems, and are naturally self-organising. Strong relationships developed at the local level lead to greater resilience, innovation, creativity and, perhaps most importantly, the building of social capital. Businesses are already profiting from this localised behaviour investors are turning to microfinance and crowdfunding, as well as using the power of P2P networks to source the right individual for the job (i.e. microtasking, for instance, Microsofts Mechanical Turk). Businesses have also been perfecting their own network resilience, with the same networking model, only its B2B (business to business). To satisfy the demands of Agenda 21, businesses have had to enact corporate social responsibility initiatives, and to prove how well they are doing, new indicators have been developed, which can be used to translate ecologicaland social good into dollars and cents, pounds and pence. (source, PDF) And large multi-nationals are beginning to consolidate networks locally, in a way which allows them to gain tighter control over the various links in the supply chain. This is known as creating shared value and is said to be so comprehensive across society that CSR programs will no longer be necessary. Nestl has already made the process successful: At Nespresso, Nestl also worked to build clusters, which made its new procurement practices far more effective. It set out to build agricultural, technical, financial, and logistical firms and capabilities in each coffee region, to further support efficiency and high-quality local production. Nestl led efforts to increase access to essential agricultural inputs such as plant stock, fertilizers, and irrigation equipment; strengthen regional farmer co-ops by helping them finance shared wet-milling facilities for producing higher-quality beans; and support an extension program to advise all farmers on growing techniques. It also worked in partnership with theRainforest Alliance , a leading international NGO, to teach farmers more-sustainable practices that make production volumes more reliable. In the process, Nestls productivity improved. Companies are being exhorted to partner and team up, to collaborate together to achieve the same ends. This will take the shape of geographical clusters, where each sphere of production is tied to specific areas, known as glocalism, or thinking globally but acting locally. This integrative thinking creates communities of interest shared value and common goals at the local level, creating more resilient networks for international operations. In Viral By Design: Teams in the Networked World (Harvard Business Review blog; April 2, 2012), Zachary Tumin and William Bratton discussedcollaboration in the digital age, focusing on the successes of Kony 2012 as well as the OMGPOP teams March 2012 breakout of Draw Something, a Pictionary-like game, which are used as evidence of the power of viral marketing. They argue, From Nikes to K-12 curricula, drone strikes to personalized medicines, teams can mass produce unique solutions for anyone. Now Google has launched Solve for X, which crowdsources innovation to solve global problems. Even the police can benefit from crowdsourcing of reports on suspicious behaviour, with initiatives like see something, text something. One of the main benefits of crowdsourcing for corporations is that it capitalises on hidden assets, such as un-utilized skills and knowledge. This network exploitation is now being extended to digitised community currencies. Digital Currencies Dont be fooled by the promise of empowerment offered by community currencies (CCs), because as long as they are digital, that power can be usurped. We need real cash to avoid being tracked and traced. Keep in mind also the way the system would play out if CCs were to proliferate globally yes, the system would collapse, but in its place would come the mediators and governors to manage the relationships between the nodes of the network, the key function of which is trust (risk) and this can be largely controlled by aggregating identity credentials and reputation ratings, and using network science to make predictions and control the network. There are several important consequences of global alternative currencies to bear in mind; 1) They are digital! All transactions can be tracked and traced! No more cash! 2) Using digital money promotes the use of smart phones and identity management. 3) They are expected to dominate the current system; once there are plenty in operation, and people want to do business with someone from outside of their community, the banks and/or telcos will be ready to step in to offer exchange platforms/trust mediation. 4) When all currencies are based on the values of Agenda 21 (i.e. doing social good, and reducing the carbon footprint) they all represent the same thing. As Stan Stahlnaker (creator of Ven) has said, the currencies would then acquire a singular value, and become one global currency. 5) The community currencies are resource-based, and of all the many indicators or metrics used to assess value in resources, there is one that could do the job of them all: emergy (see below). 6) The elites want to eliminate cash, and are funding and promoting community currencies, which will create a fully digitised network of networks, and enable analysis through global systems science. The drive to eliminate cash and make all payments electronic has been stepped up since the formation of the Better Than Cash Alliance, which claims to be empowering people in developing countries one transaction at a time. The Alliance is made up of Visa, Citi, the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation, the Ford Foundation, Omidyar Network, U.N. Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), and the U. S. Agency for International Development (USAID,) and is calling on governments and the private sector to commit to make the transition: Peru, Kenya, Colombia, and Republic of Philippines have already committed. Kenya has Mpesa; Ghana has Tigo; whilst in the Phillipines they are usingG-Cash. Whilst the developing world is using national digital currencies, in the West there is a proliferation of regional (grassroots, resource-based) currencies formed to serve a local community. The most well-known virtual currencies are those which are global, and include Bitcoin, and virtual credits gained from online games and brand affiliation. The European Central Bank has just released a report[15] into these currencies, (Virtual Currency Schemes; October, 2012), in response to the impact the new currencies are having on the real economy. The ECB is concerned that the currencies have no legal status, and are issued by private companies, thereby excluding the central banks, and bypassing regulation: Virtual currency schemes are relevant in several areas of the financial system and are therefore of interest to central banks. This, among other things, explains the ECBs interest in carrying out an analysis, especially in view of its role as a catalyst for payment systems and its oversight role. The report concludes that the main risk posed by these currencies is damage to the reputation of the ECB as a result of them being used by criminals and that although it is not the legal duty of the bank to take action, it is felt the ECB has a responsibility to examine developments and make an initial assessment of virtual currencies, due to the characteristics shared with payment systems. This refers to the interaction, or interplay, of the two monetary systems; the more this happens, the more need will be felt to intervene virtual currencies have attracted the attention of the law, and the military. However, it is far more important to turn attention to the localised, thoroughly value laden, community currencies which have sprung up across 38 countries. There are now over 500 of these currencies, which are felt by those who participate to free them from the system, and give them back their power. They make use of skills in the community to fulfil public services[16], and strengthen ties in the local network. They are also being heavily promoted by the new economists, along with the tenets of Agenda 21, i.e. the need for social equity (and cohesion) and the need to be green. The Brixton Pound, for instance, uses the Monea ICT platform, which is a partnership between nef, the Transition Network[17] and QOIN (a Dutch CC foundation). Community currencies fit in perfectly to the green economy (save the earth), and the social economy (the good of the collective) all aspects of which are currently being measured then costed. In other words, these intangible aspects are already part of the real economy, and are set to become commodified, as has happened with carbon. Stewart Wallis from the new economics foundation presented the Brixton pound at Davos this year, noting that his organisation has been the most involved in getting governments to measure well being. There is even anInternational Journal of Community Currency Research. The European Union recently awarded the Transition Network first prize in the European Economic and Social Committees Civil Society Prize and has also implemented the Community Currencies in Action project (CCIA), to, design, develop and implement community currencies across NW Europe; providing a rigorously tested package of support structures serving CC-practitioners and the general public. Knowledge transfer across the partnership will drive the innovative development of a centralised, formalised and empirically driven set of tools that can be picked up and used by various governmental and non-governmental actors at a community level, and that provides a rigorously tested package of support structures to facilitate the development of CCs across NWE and promote CCs as a credible vehicle for achieving positive outcomes. Community currencies have also captured the interest of the Long Finance Group, whose sponsors include the City of London Corporation, the Qatar Financial Centre, and Gresham College. With a focus on sustainability (the long term), the group is seeking the answer to the question When would we know our financial system is working? Running four programmes the London Accord, Financial Centre Futures, Meta-Commerce, and the Eternal Coin the group plans to: Last year the City of London Corporation and Recipco released a report called, Capacity Trade and Credit: Emerging Architectures for Commerce and Money, which examined multilateral reciprocal trade amongst businesses, from which new currencies have arisen. In other words, business barter works according to the same principle as CCs, in that a network of connected and interested entities exchange goods and services with each other instead of using money. Capacity trade has helped give rise to exchange platforms, which act as intermediaries between companies; they assess the value of the goods or services available, matching the needs of one business to another. The process of assessing value has given rise to a standardised unit of exchange between companies, i.e. a form of currency. Recipco, for instance, is a private firm which offers a platform for capacity exchange businesses can barter goods and services with each other, instead of using fiat money. This can be done to get around the problem of firms not having enough funds to pay for what they need at the time, as well as freeing them from transaction costs. Another advantage is that businesses can make use of idling capacity there are times when empty offices or hotel rooms are lying empty, or skills are being under-utilised, so exchanging them with another company that can make use of this capacity increases profits, with both fiat, and CSR,value. to facilitate intermediation between businesses, Recipco has developed a new liquid unit of exchange called the Universal Trading Credit, or UTU a commercial community currency: The social purpose aspect of Recipcos business is paramount to its success. The Companys Universal Trading Unit (UTU) is designed to serve as a unique trusted unit for the exchange of value that addresses many of the systemic issues in the current global monetary economy and is capable of increasing the sources of capital for individuals or organizations with real economic capacity. The UTU meets many of the demands for a universally accepted unit of exchange, and as such, carries with it a potentially significant global social impact, ultimately contributing to a more inclusive, fair and just economy. Over the past few years, as part of the Companys social purpose development, the Company has compiled an impressive Advisory Board and management has commenced relationships with a number of leading global charitable and social purpose organizations including the United Nations, the Carter Center, Youth Business International and the Clinton Global Initiative. Reciprocal trade has been around for decades; The WIR (Wirtschaftsring) was formed in 1934 in Switzerland, making it one of the oldest complementary currency systems in existence. There is also the World Currency Unit (WOCU), and Ormita, which is the worlds largest multilateral trading system. However, neither Ormita nor the WIR wish to be members of the International Reciprocal Trade Association. Ormita, Recipco, and the new economics foundation, were amongst a few dozen organisations represented at the capacity trading roundtable organised in response to the City of London Corporations update to last years report (Capacity Trade and Credit: Update), which concluded, multilateral reciprocal trade using common tender is an emerging sector with the potential to create complementary credit systems alongside traditional financial credit. These systems should increase trade and contribute to sustainable economic growth based on productive capacity rather than credit provided by banks, and could generate wider social benefits. The report also found that a clearer, more solid regulatory framework might encourage more rapid development of the multilateral reciprocal trade sector. The update report also examined some of the many community currencies that have been springing up in response to the financial crisis: EU-wide research is underway to assess the impact of complementary currency systems in specified cities. The two year project includes the Monea partnership (QOIN, nef and the Transition Movement). NESTA is also granting research funds including one to examine platforms and mechanisms that promote reciprocity for example the use of time credits, points systems or other complementary currencies to create a more reciprocal relationship that values giving and incentivises people to volunteer and get involved. Another grant will be given for research into platforms that make use of idling capacity, for example models, market places and enterprises that enable people or organisations to share, exchange and redistribute assets, skills and resources, particularly where these can be shown to build relationships and social capital to deliver public benefit. It was also revealed that a team of delegates representing the UK government would be visiting Switzerland to find out more about the WIR Bank. A whimsical impulse is said to have spurred Adrianna Huffington to set up the Move Your Money project, which is campaigning to get people to move their money to local financial institutions like small community banks and credit unions, in a bid to reduce support for the too big to fail banks which caused the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, and to take back the power into the hands of the people. Emergy does it all The Long Finance Group has many more fascinating areas of innovation they are exploring, such as the eternal coin and confidence accounting, all of which fit with the concepts proposed by the New Economists, and at their Autumn conference[18] this year, the focus was on green growth and global health challenges: how to measure well-being, in terms of going beyond GDP. Denis White, from Oregon State University (and a former researcher at US EPA) gave a keynoteaddress on emergy[19]( Energy Emergy Measuring Well-Being Among Nations) and how it can be used as a universal accounting unit, which can be used to indicate a countrys level of sustainability and self-sufficiency. Based on the laws of physics and thermodynamics, emergy is understood as the available energy required directly and indirectly to make something or produce work. The theory is derived from energy systems principles; for instance, The food chain can be thought of as an energy transformation chain. At each transformation step some energy is degraded and some is passed to the next step in the chain. It deals with networks within networks, facilitating understanding of their complexity, and thus control of the systems. There are a bewildering array of indicators currently being used to assess the value of natural and human capital, each with its own special application; the most widely used include the Human Development Index (UNDP), the Happy Planet Index (new economics foundation), the Environmental Performance Index (Yale Columbia Universities), and the Ecological Footprint (Global Footprint Network). However, emergy, or energy memory, provides one single unit of measure enabling full accounting of all goods, services and information in terms of their environmental, economic and social impact. This unit of measure can therefore be used to assess anything, from the micro- to the macro-level: a solar emcalorie is proposed as the basic unit of measurement for all ecosystem processes, such that wind energy has a value of 1,500 solar emcalories, whilst: Using energy futures as money was an idea explored in detail at this years First International Social Transformation Conference , attended by members of the Club of Rome[20]. Sponsors of the conference included the new economics foundation, the Global Round Table, Ethical Markets,Community Forge, and The World Academy of Art and Science (this latter has also worked with the Club of Rome on how to change the economic paradigm. Emergy research (supported by the United Nations Environmental Program) was presented at this years Tesla conference, which looked at resource-based, or energy, currencies, which described how an individual allowance can be calculated for each person, based on the size of the global population. This is called a solar share, or personal limit, which those in the Western world are vastly exceeding the average USA citizen consumes 4.2 E 16 solar emjoules per year, which is 19 times more than their global allocated allowance. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency published an emergyanalysis of West Virginia in 2005, in which it was explained: The annual emergy flow per person is hypothesized to be an index of the overall standard of living that includes environmental and economic contributions to the quality of life. This assumes that the people living in the system actually benefit from the energy used there. Quality of life is also indicated by the emergy in electricity use as a fraction of total use. This ratio is a measure of the relative importance of the higher transformity activities of people, and therefore, it should be correlated with the contributions of technology to higher standards of living. A wealth of research[21] was also presented at the 7th Biennial Emergy Research Conference in January, 2012. Emergy really does tick all the boxes the new economists require: measurements of anything, so there would be no need for lots of different measurements, or years of standardisation. Also, it embodies all the findings of network science, such as the self-organising principles of networks, hierarchies, and complexity, making it ideal for social agent simulation and new economy accounting methods. Emergy also deals with life cycles , which fits the bill of the cradle-to-cradle[22] design concept, which encourages the use of biomass in manufacturing, because it is part of the overall ecosystem cycle. This is part of a trend towards bio-mimicry in science. It would seem that Howard Odum was a visionary although he could not have known about the future advances in computation and mathematical algorithms, it was over thirty years ago that he wrote,[23] [Humanity] is embedded in a complex world of confusing cues threatening to overwhelm [us] psychologically as much as physically. Science is unlikely to help if it continues to focus on atoms and the short term. complexity must be reduced to essentials if complexity is to be overcome as an impediment to understand and correct action, and this means modeling. The specific tool envisioned is overview models that are macroscopic in viewpoint but minidimensional in complexity macroscopic minimodels Just as an artist seeks to capture an impression of what he views, scientists also must find ways to suppress detail and formulate the subjective qualitative essence of facts and figures. Transitioning As P2P culture thickens, the banks seem poised to lose their power; community currency activists believe they are bypassing the system and just wont need banks any more[24]. Andrew Haldane, Executive Director for Financial Stability at the Bank of England[25], asserted in a speech earlier this year, With open access to borrower information, held centrally and virtually, there is no reason why end-savers and end-investors cannot connect directly. The banking middle men may in time become the surplus links in the chain. Where music and publishing have led, finance could follow. An information web, linked by a common language, makes that disintermediated model of finance a more realistic possibility. However, once there is a tipping point, where alternative currencies are being used more than fiat money, the need will arise for intermediaries, who are able to facilitate trust between agents people will need a third party to assess risk levels, and to verify identity. Stalnaker believes that a variety of currency/credit systems operating together will create a richer tapestry of value sets: when these have reached critical mass, the lead will naturally arise for an exchange system that can calculate relative shifting value between entities on a P2P level. In 2000, Tobias Kiefer anticipated the growth of internet payments, in The Future Role of Banks in Electronic Commerce Trust as the Crucial Factor of Success in Business Enabling[26] and the way this would affect banks: From a strategic point of view, e-commerce therefore requires the banks to think back to their primary functions: not as a one-size-fits-all modern service provider, but starting from the origins of the banking industry and from developments in industry around the turn of the century. On this basis, a functional service can then be developed whose content and function will, in all probability, largely resemble traditional banking business: the transformation of trust, maturities and risks. Sure: there is a kind of chicken-and-egg problem, because the transaction partners need matching technologies and codes. But banks with their inter-bank relationship and the evolutionary bank-customer relationship should have a large potential to penetrate this market. Despite all the technological advances, the laws of economics and their implications ultimately remain unchanged. Tomorrows banks will be obliged to assume (core) functions that can be subsumed under the heading of trust mediation. Ideally, their position as trust mediaries will offer the market something that rarely ever exists in practice: a genuine winwin situation for the originating transaction partners and the intermediaries alike. Identity management, and the technology is relies on, are at the heart of this issue. Trust is assessed from identity credentials, and online rating systems, as well as any clues garnered from the digital footprint.[27] We are living through the time of transition a complete restructuring of the global financial architecture is in full swing, spurred on by the New Economists, who have been sweet-talking the Occupy activists into promoting the green economy and the social economy, promising the end of interest, and ensuring accountability by controlling risk and fraud. The Occupy movement is to be the bridge between the mainstreamers and the alternatives.[28] Stipulating individual allowances is Agenda 21 extremism, yet to come. However, after decades of corporate social responsibility programs, the buck is now being passed down to us, so that we will all bear the individual accountability to contribute to our own, and each others [29], well being, and to the health of the earth. Doing so will earn us credits and offset our liabilities in the new accounting system.

1	WASHINGTON, DCThe Supreme Court, demonstrating its new constructionist leaning since the appointment of Justice Samuel Alito, will re-examine arguments behind the 19th Amendment this week. 'There was no constitutional precedent for amending the law of the land so dramatically,' the Heritage Foundation's Trent England said Monday. 'A case could be made on social grounds, but what the Court will determine is exactly what the framers of the Constitution wanted.' While it's difficult to predict an outcome, observers believe Ruth Bader Ginsburg will use her three-fifths of a vote to oppose. 
1	Rescuers acknowledged that hope is fading in the search for additional survivors of the massive earthquake that hit the area Tuesday, Aug. 17, 1999. 'Tens of thousands of victims were pinned under the wreckage when the many poorly constructed three- and four-story commercial and residential buildings in the region collapsed in the quake,' city official Demitri Psaropoulos said Monday. 'Sadly, the sweltering heat and lack of water make survival chances slim for anyone still trapped in the rubble.' The official death toll from the devastating earthquake reached 17,000 in November 1999. 
1	Cliff Williams, the No. 1 door-to-door purveyor of electric razors, kitchen knives, and mechanical adding machines, confirmed Friday that he 'sealed the deal' on his sale of the Houston Astros to businessman Jim Crane. 'I says to Mr. Crane, 60 dimes on the spot, no bumps in the price, and you get yourself a honey of a franchise that'll make your old lady smile,' Williams said while snapping his fingers, adding that he closed the deal by tossing in a $50 cash rebate and foul poles at no extra charge. 'With some of these ball clubs you have to worry about whos hitting, who's not. With the Astros, it's all clockwork, baby. Hunter Pence, Carlos Leethese are real, genuine, top-notch quality ballplayers, I tell ya. And thats a Cliff Williams guarantee!' Immediately following his comments, Williams hopped on a train to Pawhuska, OK, where he was meeting 'some poor schnook' who was interested in purchasing the Los Angeles Dodgers. 
3	Wireless Power Transfer Achieved Using Magnetic Fieldselfnews Post The Internet has also shifted from wired to wireless. Now, researchers and engineers are trying to remove the last remaining wires altogether by developing wireless power transfer technology. Chun T. Rim, a professor of Nuclear Quantum Engineering at KAIST, and his team showcased, on April 16, 2014 at the KAIST campus, Daejeon, Republic of Korea, a great improvement in the distance that electric power can travel wirelessly. They developed the Dipole Coil Resonant System (DCRS) for an extended range of inductive power transfer, up to 5 meters between transmitter and receiver coils. Since MITs (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) introduction of the Coupled Magnetic Resonance System (CMRS) in 2007, which used a magnetic field to transfer energy for a distance of 2.1 meters, the development of long-distance wireless power transfer has attracted much attention for further research. However, in terms of extending the distance of wireless power, CMRS, for example, has revealed technical limitations to commercialization that are yet to be solved: a rather complicated coil structure (composed of four coils for input, transmission, reception, and load); bulky-size resonant coils; high frequency (in a range of 10 MHz) required to resonate the transmitter and receiver coils, which results in low transfer efficiency; and a high Q factor of 2,000 that makes the resonant coils very sensitive to surroundings such as temperature, humidity, and human proximity. Scalable and slim with a size of 3 m in length, 10 cm in width, and 20 cm in height, DCRS is significantly smaller than CMRS. The system has a low Q factor of 100, showing 20 times stronger against the environment changes, and works well at a low frequency of 100 kHz. The team conducted several experiments and achieved promising results: for instance, under the operation of 20 kHz, the maximum output power was 1,403 W at a 3-meter distance, 471 W at 4-meter, and 209 W at 5-meter. For 100 W of electric power transfer, the overall system power efficiency was 36.9% at 3 meters, 18.7% at 4 meters, and 9.2% at 5 meters. With DCRS, Professor Rim said, a large LED TV as well as three 40 W-fans can be powered from a 5-meter distance. Our technology proved the possibility of a new remote power delivery mechanism that has never been tried at such a long distance. Although the long-range wireless power transfer is still in an early stage of commercialization and quite costly to implement, we believe that this is the right direction for electric power to be supplied in the future. Just like we see Wi-Fi zones everywhere today, we will eventually have many Wi-Power zones at such places as restaurants and streets that provide electric power wirelessly to electronic devices. We will use all the devices anywhere without tangled wires attached and anytime without worrying about charging their batteries. Professor Rims team completed a research project with the Korea Hydro Nuclear Power Co., Ltd in March this year to remotely supply electric power to essential instrumentation and control equipment at a nuclear power plant in order to properly respond to an emergency like the one happened at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. They succeeded to transfer 10 W of electricity to the plant that was located 7 meters away from the power base. The research result was published in the March 2014 issue of IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics. Press release source 
2	High School Marching Band Banned For Christian Hymn, So They Did THIS To Fight Back At Mississippis Brandon High School, the crowd entertained themselves during half time. The schools marching band, who would usually be entertaining, had played How Great Thou Art, in violation of a federal court order. The Ranking County School Board and District Office are very saddened students will not be able to perform their halftime show they have worked so hard on this summer, the district wrote in the Clarion Ledger newspaper. The incident was the result of a student suing the district over a series of Christian meetings that had been held on school property. U.S. District Court Judge Carlton Reeves ruled that the district had violated the agreement when a Christian minister delivered a prayer at an awards ceremony. The school was ordered to pay thousands of dollars in fines. Defendants are permanently enjoined from including prayer, religious sermons or activities in any school sponsored event including but limited to assemblies, graduations, award ceremonies, athletic events and any other school event, the order dictates. When the school heard the band had been benched, the community rose in their support. During the halftime show, a lone voice started to sing Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee. Within minutes, the whole crowd had joined in. What do you think? Do you support this communitys stand? 
2	Obama Administration Threatens Rush Limbaughs Career In a recent interview with Fox News, Rush Limbaugh came down hard on President Obama for his involvement in race baiting. Theres no acknowledgment of any of the progress. If you listen to these people, the president, the mayor of New York, youd think it was two hundred years ago, Limbaugh stated. Youd think we hadnt even started working on these problems, and thats not true. This isnt something thats going to be solved overnight, Obama said in response to Limbaughs comments. This is something that is deeply rooted in our society; its deeply rooted in our history. The president did acknowledge that weve made progress, but went on to say, the reason its important to understand that progress has been made is that it then gives us hope we can make even more progress. What do you think of the presidents comments? 
3	As Syria acknowledges they have chemical weapons, rebels trying to find and keep themMadison Ruppert, Contributor Previously, I have speculated on the possibility of chemical weapons claims being leveraged to justify an invasion as well as pointing out the Saddam-like accusations being made in the media regarding these weapons. It now appears that all of my statements regarding the lack of factual evidence behind the chemical weapons accusations are now null and void. However, I believe we must also consider the reasons why the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad would lie about possession of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). The Assad government could very well be putting out the threat because they are scrambling in fear over the prospect of being attacked by outside forces. If they actually do have chemical weapons, however, and are willing to use them, the threat was not only miscalculated but potentially disastrous for their few remaining allies like Russia and China. Personally, I dont find it surprising that the Russian Foreign Ministry openly spoke out against the Syrian threat on Tuesday, since the statement put Russia and China in an awkward diplomatic situation. That being said, this situation is not making the rebels look good, either. The terrorist group known as the Free Syrian Army (FSA) has reportedly begun preparing to secure Assads chemical weapons, even going as far as to create a special unit for the task. We have a group just to deal with chemical weapons. They are already trained to secure sites, said Adnan Silou to the Telegraph. Adnan Silou is one of the highest ranking members of the Assad government to defect to the armed opposition and until 2008, Silou was allegedly drafting emergency response plans to deal with scenarios in which the Syrian government lost control of its weapons. Silou claims to have trained thousands of troops to capture the chemical weapons sites which, according to unnamed analysts cited by the Telegraph, are the largest chemical weapons stores in the world, consisting principally of sarin, mustard gas and cyanide. However, it is worth pointing out that they cannot even say that analysts know this, instead opting to say analysts believe that they have the largest chemical weapons stores. Regardless, Silou is clearly itching to get his hands on the weapons. We trained them in securing stores, in reconnaissance of possible threats, in how to purge supplies and in treatment should Syria come under attack a chemical or biological attack, Silou said. There were two main stores warehouse 417 in east Damascus, and another, number 419 in Homs area. We had 1,500 soldiers and two or three generals stationed at each base, he said. Silou also apparently believes that Assad could use the chemical weapons against his own people, even though the Foreign Ministrys statement denied any such intention. I know Bashar al-Assads character. It is very possible that he will use the chemical weapons against his own people, said Silou. They can deploy them from tanks, from rockets, and from helicopters, he added. However, Jihad Makdissi, a spokesman for the Syrian Foreign Ministry stated that they would not use their unconventional arms against Syrian citizens. Any chemical or bacterial weapons will never be used during the crisis in Syria regardless of the developments, said Makdissi. These weapons are stored and secured by Syrian military forces and under its direct supervision and will never be used unless Syria faces external aggression, Makdissi added according to NBC News. The Syrian FSA has shown absolutely no interest in giving up the weapons if they actually ever secure them, which is hardly surprising for a violent terrorist organization. As Kris Alexander, an officer for the United States Army writing for Danger Room, writes, [Silou] does not sound like a man who wants to bring Syria into compliance with global nonproliferation efforts. Instead, it sounds like a man who understands the deterrent value of Syrias WMD and wishes to retain it. This is yet another piece of the puzzle for those advocating supporting the rebellion, Alexander writes. Will an FSA-led Syria be any better than Assad? The answer is clearly, no. If youre wondering how I can make such an assertion, all you have to do is look at how Libya has become in the wake of regime change and the murder of Muammar Gaddafi. The uprising in Syria and seemingly inevitable intervention is in every way similar to what Libya experienced. Al Qaeda supporting the opposition? Check. Rebels engaging in terrorism? Check. Foreign nations pushing for intervention? Check. Rebels calling for intervention? Check. Large weapons stores primed and ready to fall into the hands of rebels? Check. Unfortunately, now Syrian rebels are claiming that the Syrian government forces are moving chemical weapons close to the nations borders, making the problem that much more pressing. I could go on but I think you get the point. All we can do now is hope that this conflict is diffused in the most peaceful way possible and that we do not see any horrific uses of chemical weapons from any side.

2	Mark Wahlberg Was Told Not To Speak About Christianity, So He Does THIS Instead When it comes to Hollywood, the choice to reveal political and religious beliefs can be a tricky one. Often, actors are forced to keep their faith under the rug in order to avoid isolating any one particular audience. So it was quite surprising when Mark Wahlberg came forward to discuss his faith and trust in God. In the video clip, which is quickly making its rounds on social media, Wahlberg discusses his early life of drugs and crime. He then reveals that he credits his faith in God with turning his life around. Watch the video below, and see how Wahlbergs faith helped turn him into the successful actor he is today. 
2	Obamas Hand Is Forced After Three Syrian Refugees Are Found With Fake Passports At this point, it has become blatantly clear that taking in Syrian Refugees is a bad idea. First, there is proof that at least one of the Paris ISIS Terrorists was a Syrian Refugee. Now three more Syrian Muslim Refugees have been found with fake passports. These three men were caught in Puerto Rico, and were trying to get into the United States. Not all Syrian Refugees are bad, but we have seen more than enough evidence that many of them are. It is not worth endangering Americans to bring them in. Do you think we should put a stop to the Syrian Refugee program? 
1	Sources confirmed Friday that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning had been cleared by doctors to resume his career of being chased, clubbed, and thrown to the ground by 300-pound men, often with the 300-pound men falling on top of him. 'So far as I can tell, Peyton has no reason to be concerned about returning to the most violent game that exists in our culture,' Colts neurosurgeon Dr. Hank Feuer said of Manning, who had bones fused together in his spinal column in order to protect the nerves that provide him with basic motor function in all his extremities. 'After a thorough medical evaluation, we can safely say that Manning is cleared to engage in an activity that could very feasibly result in his head being pulled backward by one of the world's strongest physical specimens, then subsequently slammed into a cold, unyielding surface.' When asked Wednesday whether he had any trepidations about jeopardizing his future with his family for a few games in the twilight of an already Hall of Fameworthy career, Manning said he was 'just trying to focus on returning to football.' 
3	Unstable Fukushima Containers May Cause Hydrogen ExplosionsBy Joshua Krause Whats worse is the cause of the leaks. They believe that the radioactive material in the vessels is separating the hydrogen from the water, and the expansion of this gas is increasing the internal pressure of the containers. And obviously, the flammable nature of hydrogen could cause catastrophic problems in the future. TEPCO reported its findings during a Friday meeting with a study group from the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA), which expressed concern about the potential hazards of accumulated hydrogen build-up in the containers. If the concentration level is high, a spark caused by static electricity could cause a container to [explode], an NRA official told The Asahi Shimbun. Although all the container lids were supposed to be fitted with pressure-release valves to allow gases to escape, the inspection determined that one did not have that mechanism. Further review of the delivery records showed as many as 333 others may also be defective, a TEPCO official said. And, as usual, TEPCO has been quick to assure the public that everything is just hunky dory. However, TEPCO stated that no radioactive water was found to have escaped outside the concrete structures that encase the containers. We think the possibility of an occurrence of hydrogen explosion from these storage facilities is extremely low, since there is no fire origin, or anything that generates static electricity nearby, TEPCO spokeswoman Mayumi Yoshida told the Telegraph. 
2	Michael Browns Family Just Received Some Extremely Bad News Michael Browns family strongly believe that the grand jury should have indicted Officer Darren Wilson, but seems as though most American disagrees with them and support the grand jury decision to clear Officer Wilson from indictment. A poll showed on Today.com revealed that 78% of Americans trust that the grand jury made the right decision. 1,215,170 out of 1,557,824 people who participated believed that Wilson was vindicated in the Michael Browns shooting. 
1	Cowboys medical personnel confirm that quawterback Tony Womo injured his thwowing hand in last week's 30-24 loss to the Arizona Cardinals and is expected to miss the next month after suffewing a sevewy bwoken wight pinkie-winkie. Team doctors originally believed Womo's poor, poor bwoken fingey was merewy spwained, despite the quarterback insisting that his pinkie felt really, really, really ouchie after being hit by wots and wots of big mean mans during the first play of overtime. The Cowboys are denying rumors that Womo will require weconstwuctive pinkie surgewy, insisting that it is only a bad owie and that Womo will not be placed on injuwed weserve. 'Tony has been very, very bwave through all this and barely cried at all when he heard his widdle fingey was in fact bwoken,' coach Wade Phillips said Monday, explaining that Womo was 'westing comfiwy' and watching cartoons at home and had thus far managed to keep his pinkie out of his mouth. 'I'd say he's week to week, but it's up to the team medics to say when he's completely all-better-now.' The Cowboys originally sensed something was wrong when Womo threw three straight incomplete passes to begin the overtime after being sacked three times and knocked down 19 times during regulation by meanie-bullies who hate him. Their suspicions were confirmed when Womo blubbered to them on the sidelines while holding up his hurted fingey. Womo was immediately given an orange-flavored St. Joseph aspirin and a wowwypop while a SpongeBob SquarePants Band-Aid was applied to the pinkie. When this proved inadequate, Cowboys head pediatrician Daniel 'Doctor Danny' Cooper inspected Womo's pinkie while trainers distracted Womo by making a spoon into an airplane and 'flying' chocolate ice cream into the quarterback's mouth. 'This was more than just the normal boo-boo,' Cooper told reporters. 'Tony has played through boo-boos before, like any team weader and big gwown-up boy has to. But when I saw the quivering chin, the big wet eyes, and the way he was hopping from foot to foot while holding up his widdle bitty widdy fingey, I knew this one was bad.' The NFL said no fine would be given on the hit, as it seemed to be an honest accident and no flag for roughhousing the passer was thrown on the play. It is not known whether Womo will stomp his widdle foot and complain louder to the NFL regarding the decision. Phillips confirmed that 40-year-old backup quarterback Brad Johnson will start as long as Womo's pinkie is still an ouchie pinkie. 'It's unfortunate for the poor tyke to have to go through something like this,' said Johnson, who hasn't started an NFL game since 2006. 'But you know, when they're little quarterbacks they sometimes take big spills. This will just make Tony-wony tougher when he grows up. I hope.' In other Cowboys news, Adam 'Pacman' Jones is still grounded for the rest of his life, or at least until he learns to stop back-sassing, and receiver Terrell Owens is listed as 'probable' for Sunday's game despite suffering a chronic case of turf piggy. 
1	A bizarre, unprecedented spinal injury sustained in a car accident Saturday has left local resident Roberto Montenegro paralyzed from the waist up. 'Roberto is back on his feet,' said Mesa General Hospital head of surgery William Crist. 'Unfortunately, though, he has lost all feeling in his head, arms and torso. No longer able to move from the waist up, he cannot eat, speak, dial a telephone, type, open doors, or look sideways.' Doctors said Montenegro should be able to resume his career as a professional soccer player as early as next week. 
2	PHOTO: See The Shirt This Pastor Wore To Court That Has Angered Muslims Everywhere Pastor Terry Jones was arrested last year, and charged with illegally transporting fuel in an attempting to burn 3,000 copies of the Koran and the anniversary of 9/11. Not surprisingly, his actions outraged Muslims around the country. Today, Jones continues to stir up controversy. He made a shocking outfit choice during his most recent court date, that has pro-Islamic liberals ready to take action against the Pastor. Of course, he is only exercising his First Amendment rights. According to reports, the pastor has been attending a series of new court dates following the stunt. In an act of very apparent defiance, Jones decided to wear a t-shirt reading Nuke ISIS to his most recent court date. The action gained national attention. Although the judge had originally dismissed the case, the state is now demanding for a higher court to charge him once again. What do you think of the pastors actions? 
2	Rick Perry Calls Out Obama With Obamas lax attitude toward the problem of illegal immigration, it is not surprising that some officials are starting to speak out about the problems he is causing. Recently, Texas Governor Rick Perry publicly condemned the President for refusing to allow greater defenses along the Texas border, as well as New Mexico and Arizona. He vocalized his problem with Obamas attitude as tens of thousands of Central American children continue to illegally cross the border. The problem stems from a misunderstanding that children can automatically assume citizenship. It doesnt help that the government is designated with the responsibility for feeding, clothing, and caring for these children. What do you think? Does the Obama Administration need to wake up and take action?

2	Fox News Absolutely Destroyed MSNBC With THIS According to recent reports, the cable station MSNBC, which has been known for its leftist thinking and liberal propaganda is facing sharply declining ratings and a failed program lineup. As a result, they are about to make sweeping changes to their schedule. Thats the problem with free speechsometimes people just dont want to hear you talk. MSNBCs daytime viewership is down 21 percent overall and 41 percent in the coveted 25-to-54-year-old demographic, putting it in fourth place behind Fox News, CNN, and CNNs sister network HLN, reports Politico. As a result, MSNBC is preparing something so extreme its unprecedented. Reports indicate that nearly every program is at risk of being moved or canceled. Perhaps the failing network represents a step in the right direction for Americans, who are sick of being swayed to believe leftist propaganda. What do you think of MSNBCs failure? 
1	Though injured New England Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker has only been in the hospital for five days, doctors, nurses, support staff, and fellow patients told reporters Thursday that the extremely passionate and determined Welker has already annoyed the hell out of everyone. 'That guy is just the worst,' Welker's orthopedic surgeon Dr. Henry Myles said after a diagnostic checkup Tuesday. 'He suffers a torn MCL and ACL in his left knee, he can barely walk, and he just keeps saying things like, 'When am I going to get back in there, doc?' and 'Just tape it up, I'll be fine.' This whole obsession with showing us how intense and driven he is 24 hours a day really has to stop.' 'I get it, okay? The guy has a lot of heart,' Myles added. 'But yesterday we had to put him in restraints because he wouldn't stop trying to do jumping jacks. And before we could sedate him, his screams of 'I'm a competitor!' woke up the entire wing.' As of press time, Welker had not made a single friend at Massachusetts General. Although the wideout's attitude has been celebrated by sportswriters and fans alike as scrappy and overachieving, hospital personnel have described him as 'exhausting,' 'intolerable,' and 'the most infuriating little cocksucker ever to walk God's green earth.' Even children in the hospital's cancer ward were irritated by Welker's Tuesday morning visit. 'The short man kept telling me to keep fighting and not to give up,' said Jackie Geddings, 8, a leukemia patient in the hospital's pediatric ward. 'I got extra tired talking to him and telling him over and over I was working hard and that he didn't have to cut off his hair and give it to me. I don't think he knew I was trying to take a nap.' 'He's everywhere,' one doctor said of the 5-foot-9 All-Pro receiver, adding that the mere sight of Welker's face fills him with rage. 'If he's not trying to get patients up at 6 a.m. to do physical therapy with him, he's giving unwanted nutritional advice to diabetics or hovering over ER doctors during critical triage sessions. I really hope one of these days he comes over to the trauma ward so I can lay him out cold.' Welker told nurses Wednesday that, although his injury will keep him out of the playoffs, it shouldn't hinder his ability to help the hospital be the best it can be. He has offered to fill in anywhere he is needed, be it on the cafeteria staff or in the operating room. 'I consider myself a very patient person,' hospital janitor Mike Clemens said. 'But Mr. Welker has pushed me to my limit. He told me that my mopping routes were sloppy, and that if I maybe showed a little more heart out there I could get a few more crucial feet out of each swab.' 'What a prick,' Clemens added. 'Seriously, what a fucking little prick.' Welker's hospital roommate, 52-year-old Aaron Kramer, requested a room transfer after spending just one night with the two-time Pro Bowler. Kramer said he was unable to sleep due to Welker shouting 'Woo!' after every SportsCenter highlight, a nuisance that became increasingly excruciating as Welker did the same through all five of the show's overnight repeats. Teammates who have visited Welker have left his hospital room visibly aggravated, often rolling their eyes, muttering to themselves, or saying things like, 'Thank God that's over.' Patriots coach Bill Belichick has yet to make a trip to the Boston hospital, but said Monday that Welker had already left him more than 150 voice mail messages that alternated between tearful apologies for getting injured and personal pleas for Belichick not to forget about him while he's away. 'Apparently he read an article where I said that the team would evolve without him,' Patriots quarterback Tom Brady told reporters after visiting Welker. 'I had to assure Wes that didn't mean I thought the team was better off without him or that I didn't like him personally.' 'I don't, though,' Brady said. 'Not hard to see why not. Jesus, if that mouthy little fucker didn't manage to get open so often I think I would have punched him in the face years ago.'

1	Expressing a deep sense of regret regarding his decision to take a chance on jalapeo, local 36-year-old Mike Willhite told reporters Wednesday that he now sees all too clearly his folly in straying from his beloved sour cream and onion potato chips. Jeez, what was I thinking? said a fiercely tormented Willhite, admitting that while the labels tempting promise of screamin southwestern flavor seemed like an exciting departure from his customary fare, he never should have forsaken his loyalty to the smooth and savory flavor that, time and again, has faithfully sated him. These ones arent as good. You just cant go wrong with sour cream and onion. Willhite stated that, though he made a grave and unforgivable error, he would bravely soldier forward, resigned to his fate, and eat all five servings contained in the bag in a single sitting.

2	BREAKING: Disturbing Islamic Compound Discovered In The United States According to recent reports, Infowars reporters Joe Biggs and Josh Owens have been grilled by New York Police/FBI Terror Task Force officials after launching an investigation into Islambergthe Muslim community in America that many claim is a terrorism compound. Islamberg is a small hamlet in Topkins, Delaware County. Biggs and Owens decided to scope the area out after hearing rumors that the town was a secret training ground for jihadists. Witnesses were reporting sounds of gunfire and explosions. Things took a very suspicious turn from there. After approaching the perimeter, Biggs and Owens were greeted by the security guards and told that they would not be allowed to enter the compound until their credentials had been vetted. Biggs gave the guards his phone number, and was contacted shortly thereafter by the Joint Terrorism Task Force, asking why the reporters were investigating. Owens also received a phone call, though he had not provided his phone number to anyone. When he inquired how his number was obtained, officials told him they could not reveal that information. Biggs has since posted a YouTube video making it clear that his intentions are to reveal the truth about Islamberg and to ascertain whether the area was truly a no-go zone. 
1	A report released Thursday by the Brookings Institute confirmed that some shirts are good and other shirts are not good. The research, conducted over a 10-year period, concluded that the average American has five to seven good shirts, and eight or more not-good shirts. Good shirts, the report confirmed, typically have collars on them. We found there are good shirts and not-good shirts, and that people tend to keep them separate from one another, said lead researcher Francis Hamlin, adding that one dresser drawer will contain good shirts and another will contain the not-good shirts. People also hang their good shirts on hangers. Bad shirts are deemed not worthy of being hung. I wore a good shirt today because I knew I would be talking to the media, Hamlin said, pointing at his white-collared shirt. See? This is a good shirt. Stating that ties can be worn with good shirts but never bad shirts, the report confirmed that among the nations good shirts are white shirts, blue shirts, green shirts, yellow shirts, plaid shirts, and other-colored shirts. Among the bad shirts, the study continued, are white shirts, blue shirts, green shirts, yellow shirts, plaid shirts, and other-colored shirts. Striped shirts, while reportedly sometimes good, can also be bad. In addition, long-sleeved shirts and short-sleeved shirts can be good shirts. The survey added that T-shirts are most oftentimes not that good, unless they are new, or have a design on them, or the individual just thinks the T-shirt is good because he likes it. Ten percent of shirts, the study noted, are neither good nor bad, but are still perfectly decent shirts. Ninety-eight percent of shirts with stains on them are bad. Sometimes a good shirt can become a not-good shirt, especially if it gets slept in multiple times, said Hamlin, adding that while excessive wrinkling can make a shirt bad, some individuals think wrinkling makes a shirt good. On the other hand, a bad shirt very rarely becomes a good shirt. My colleague, David, has nine good shirts, he continued. According to those surveyed, good shirts are worn when an individual plans to be outside and around other people during a planned event, while bad shirts are typically worn while hanging out alone inside ones apartment. Sixty-five percent of the time, shirts with buttons on them are good shirts. Expert analysis concluded that good shirts can be worn to work and bad shirts cannot be worn to work. Sources confirmed that this is a good shirt: This is reportedly a good shirt, too: However, this is a bad shirt: This is a fine shirt: The report concluded that there are no good pants, all pants are bad, and it isnt even worth it to go looking for them. 
1	A series of mildfires ambled casually through California this week, lazily threatening nearby homes, warming helpless wildlife, and cozying up to almost everything in its path. 'We barely evacuated our home in time,' said resident Paul Krempel, whose backyard has been threatened by the loitering fire for days. 'First, the boxes we ordered arrived a day late, and then there was a mix-up at the van rental place, which took forever. Plus, Margaret had to go pick up the kids from soccer practice before we could really start packing. It was definitely a close call.' Firefighters have rushed to the scene of the mellow inferno and are currently sitting around it in lawn chairs, exchanging old stories and telling jokes. 
1	Poised to inform future parenting decisions on medical care, dietary restrictions, and everyday well-being, the blog post Fluoride Drops For KidsGood Idea? which was read by local mother Laurie Miller earlier today, will reportedly shape the next 18 years of her young childs life. Reports indicate that after skimming the 300-word article published on Mommymuse.com, Miller will consider the entry on the pros and cons of fluoride drops as the authoritative text on the matter, citing the write-up countless times while speaking with her childs babysitters, teachers, and pediatricians over the next two decades. Sources confirmed that the articles two-sentence summary of the tooth enamel condition Colorado Brown Stain, which was derived from an anonymously authored post on a soon-to-be-defunct dental hygiene message board, will flash through Millers mind every time her son takes a drink of water from now until he leaves for college. At press time, sources reported that Miller was closely inspecting her childs teeth for streaks, a practice that will soon become a twice-daily routine. 
3	FBI sharing facial recognition software with police departments across AmericaMadison Ruppert, Contributor This program is so massive and coordinated that even governors have been overridden in the federal governments quest to create a comprehensive database. Now police departments across the entire United States will receive facial recognition software developed by none other than the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The software, known as Universal Face Workstation software, will be provided to police departments free of charge by the FBI under the expanding pilot program. The software allows local law enforcement agencies to compare their photographs with those of the FBIs database, which the FBI expects will contain at least 12 million photographs by 2014. One of the many troubling aspects of this technology is the fact that the results are sent back to the querying state or local agency automatically without any human having to check the results. This means that wildly inaccurate results could be returned to the local agency, which would not be anything new for facial recognition technology. Michigan was the first American state to get brought into the FBIs pilot project earlier this year while five other states have already signed up. According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), Oregon might also be involved in the constantly ramping up Next Generation Identification (NGI) Facial Recognition Program. The plans for the NGI are nothing short of shocking. One must realize that the federal government actually plans to include highly sensitive biometric and biographical data belonging to over 100 million Americans. Some are already expressing concerns over the program, including U.S. Senator Al Franken, a Minnesota Democrat. However, I wouldnt be all too quick to praise Senator Franken given that he voted for S.1867, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 when it allowed for the indefinite detention of Americans, something which Obama is now fighting to keep. That being said, Franken did reverse his stance and eventually vote against the final language of the NDAA, but I am quite skeptical of his trustworthiness. This might be a case of looking a gift horse in the mouth, but I encourage a healthy distrust of our so-called representatives even when they appear to be working for the interests of the American people. Facial recognition creates acute privacy concerns that fingerprints do not, Franken rightly stated at a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committees subcommittee on privacy, technology and the law, according to AllGov. Once someone has your faceprint, they can get your name, they can find your social networking account and they can find and track you in the street, in the stores you visit, the government buildings you enter, and the photos your friends post online, Franken added. Im quite grateful Franken brought up the social networking aspect of this issue in his statement. With Facebooks acquisition of Face.com, the Israeli facial recognition firm, the future of facial recognition in social networking is looking quite bright indeed, at least for those who are on the winning side of the equation. Franken also expressed concerns that the FBIs software could be abused to not only identify protesters at political events and rallies, but to target them for selective jailing and prosecution, stifling their First Amendment rights. This is far from a misplaced concern given that we saw Occupy Wall Street protesters being illegally pressured into submitting to iris scans, which is just another biometric tool in the FBIs arsenal. The troubling alacrity with which this technology is being spread to local agencies across the United States appears to just be increasing, and unless the American people actually start expressing some concern over this, I seriously doubt it will slow down any time soon.

On a golf course in Marthas Vineyard instead of in Louisiana? Alley tweeted, along with a video of Obama, criticizing former President George W. Bush for Bushs response to Hurricane Katrina. Alley was not the only one to notice Obamas hypocrisy, but her comment caught a lot of attention on social media. It should be noted that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was among the first to visit the state. He also pushed Obama to make an appearance and at least pretend like he cares about the American people who have been left without homes. Both Trump and Alley have been forced to fight off Obama defenders, who argued that the state governor encouraged the delayed visit.

2	BREAKING: Leaked Emails Reveal Who Hillary is Appointing As Secretary Of State According to reports, a series of new emails obtained by Wikileaks reveals that Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has already decided who she wants as Secretary of State if she is elected president. Mad World News recently reported that emails between Clinton and her former chief of staff Cheryl Mills has confirmed that she intends to select Huma Abedin as her right hand woman if she becomes president. If appointed, Abedin would be the youngest person to ever serve as Secretary of State. She would also be the first Muslim to hold the position. This news is hardly surprising, given that Clinton has been handing control over to Abedin through the majority of her political career. That means Abedin has been right by Clintons side through all of the corruption and lies. Huma Mahmood Abedin, 40, served as vice chairwoman of Hillary Clitnons 2016 campaign for President, SM Observed wrote. Prior to that, she served as the deputy chief of staff to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from 2009 to 2013. What do you think? Is this yet another reason to keep Clinton far away from the White House? 
2	Say Goodbye To The View Forever... Its Happening The View has fallen a long way since Barbara Walters was a host on the show, and the legendary newswoman is blaming ABC brass for destroying the shows legacy. Walters created the show with Bill Geddie, but now she is afraid it will only be remembered for a turnover cast and classless backstage fights, the New York Post reported. She feels theyve ruined the franchise that she and Bill Geddie built, a source told Page Six. Instead of focusing on smart, educated women with strong talent, they case uninformed child actors on the show. The legacy has been compromised because of poor casting and bad leadership under ABC News. Walters was noticeably absent from a reunion of the shows original cast members last month. A representative for the show adamantly denied rumors of a rift, claiming Walters was on a previously planned vacation. She calls the control room multiple times a week to offer her suggestions, her rep told reporters. She has a wonderful relationship with the show. A representative for ABC also insisted all is well with the shows creator. Theres no better producer than Barbara Walters, and were always grateful for her notes about the show, the rep told reporters. The ratings are up, and were very proud of the team. Candace Cameron-Bure was the latest host to leave the show. Sources told Page Six she disappeared for weeks before she officially asked to be let out of her contract. She reportedly left a Hot Topics meeting because she was not feeling well. She went home and no one heard from her for several weekseven her close friends at the show, the source commented. People thought she was about to have a breakdown because she was exhausted. She didnt return anyones calls and went AWOL. What do you think? Is The View hanging by a thread?

Now, Greta is making headlines once again after a leaked email showed that Hillary Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines insulted her so badly she demanded an apology. The leaked email shows Reines calling Greta malleable, meaning she could be easily bent to someones will. Of course, this isnt true of Greta. Greta took immediate offense to the letter, and demanded that an apology be made. Dear Nick, please convey this message below directly to the Secretary, she began.

2	See What Happens After Christian Baker Refuses To Bake Wedding Cake For Lesbians Until recently, Melissa Klein had a reputation for being a talented baker and the owner of Sweet Cakes With Melissa which she operated with her husband Aaron. In January 2013, however, her reputation took a turn for the worse when she was asked by a lesbian couple to make their wedding cake. Although the Kleins politely refused the offer, the lesbian couple took the Kleins to court in Oregon, where judged ruled that the bakery was violating their civil rights. Under Oregon law, Oregonians may not be denied service based on sexual orientation or gender identity, a statement by The Bureau of Labor and Industries writes. The law provides an exemption for religious organizations and schools, but does not allow private business owners to discriminate based on sexual orientation, just as they cannot legally deny service based on race, sex, age, disability, or religion. The Kleins were forced to close their business just 8 months later, and now struggle to support themselves on the business they get at home. They also are victims of daily harassment from liberals and other gay marriage supporters. Earlier this week, Melissa broke her silence on the incident for the first time. To be told theyre going to force me to convey a message other than what I want to conveyit flies in the face of the Constitution, Aaron claimed. Its a violation of my conscience. Its a violation of my religious freedom. Its horrible to see your own government doing this to you. 
2	Muslims Everywhere Are Furious After DHL Makes Huge Stand Against Islam Mohamed Maow worked at DHL Global Mail in Kentucky for three years, after coming to the United States from Somalia in 2007. He earned $11.57 an hour to sort mail, and was paid time-and-a-half for overtime. It was a good job, Maow said of DHL, claiming that he never received a bad review. Still, in the beginning of October, DHL made the controversial decision to reverse a policy of flexible break times for prayer. Maow was fired along with two dozen other Muslims. Now, Maow is one of 11 complaints that have been filed with the United States Equal Opportunity Commission, and they are 13 more still expected. The complaint claims that DHL Global Mail fired a group of Muslims for exercising the religious rights. Now, CAIR has stepped in and demanded that DHL face all consequences outlined in the Kentucky Civil Rights Act, including damages and reinstatement. Salaat, the second pillar of Islam, requires prayer to be performed at five specific times during the day. DHL claims they fired all of the employees because they were insubordinate, disrespectful, and engaged in hostile conduct, one CAIR attorney rights. The insubordinate claim stems from the entire group going to pray at 7:24 p.m. Additionally, they claim several employees responded in a loud and hostile manner to the change in policy. This is just one of many cases where lawsuits have been filed after Muslims have been denied additional breaks for religious prayer. What do you think? Should employers be required to grant Muslims 5 additional breaks per day? 
2	Kanye West Cries Racism, Says Hes Treated Like Its The 1960s Once again Kanye West is calling attention to himself, this time by claiming that he feels like he is treated like an African-American is the 1960s. As we know, this is not the first time the rapper has made headlines for talking about racism. Kanyes first comment was made directly after Hurricane Katrina, when he claimed that former President George W. Bush hates black people. And in fact, if there are two things Kanye is known for, it is his ego and the fact that he believes the world is set against him. Kanye even made similar comments during his wedding toast, which was rumored to be about 45 minutes long. What do you think? Are you sick of the rappers comments? 
3	Legal Challenges Home in on Baltimores Shrouded Stingray UseBy Amanda Warren Civil liberties groups like the ACLU and Electronic Frontier Foundation have heartily protested the use of Stingrays for their potential and proven track record for abuse. EFF has called the use of Stingrays an all you can eat data buffet. For good reason too just this summer, documents revealed that the San Bernardino Sheriffs Department may have used the device over 300 times in a year and a halfs time. But Baltimores law enforcement leads the charge quite possibly using the devices thousands of times. The Baltimore Sun reports: A Baltimore defense attorney has filed the first of what could be hundreds of challenges to cases in which police allegedly withheld that they had used a high-tech phone tracking device to gather evidence. The attorney, Joshua Insley, had questioned last fall whether the surveillance equipment known as a stingray was used in the case against his client, Shemar Taylor, who was accused of stealing a cellphone. Prosecutors and police at the time denied that investigators had used a stingray, but on the witness stand a detective refused to answer questions about what technology they did use. The judge threatened to hold the detective in contempt when he cited a confidentiality agreement with the federal government and refused to answer the judges questions. Judges such as the one in Baltimore are declaring that the courtroom doesnt recognize non-disclosures with the FBI, which has been found to encourage withholdingStingray use. In other words, no pleading the fifth where mass Constitutional violations have occurred and possible perjury. It seems as though some judges are not keen on misrepresentations of warrants. The crux of the matter is not about making it harder for law enforcement to track kidnappers, of course. Those are the exigent circumstances that they promised to use them for. The right to use the devices with warrants has been upheld. But practices like the secret use en masse, such as Stingray planes stalking protesters and possibly tracking them without knowledge, is increasingly drawing ire. Even prosecutorsand judges are showing anger at the discoveries of Stingray use because what they dont know can come back to haunt them. They consider the shrouding of Stingray use a willful misrepresentation. i.e., a lie! News of these new legal challengessurfaced one day after it was announced that the Department of Justice is now requiring law enforcement and other agencies to obtain a warrant before using Stingrays. Will these legal challenges unearth more instances of the secret use of Stingrays on American citizens? Image source: Liberty Upward Amanda Warren writes for selfnews Post see her recent articles HERE Ive posed this question several times on different forums but have never received an answer, and the question is, where is the FCC license for these transmitters? In the U.S. its illegal for anyone (including police) to transmit with more than 100 milliwatts of power, and certainly these stingray devices output much higher power than this, therefore each of these police departments would need a license from the FCC to use them. Do you have a link to your statement?? I dont doubt or question you for one minute, as I know exactly what Stingray is and why/how they have used it to conceal crimes, murders and cover-ups by the local police and various rogue agencies. This is why they are throwing the public a bone and claim they are now being transparent, its because they dont want the public to ever find out how this device has been used for in secret for years as its a weapon. A weapon used to stalk, harass, oppress, frame and murder and everyones phone is actively tapped and listened to from their fake covert jetliners, helicopters and Cessna planes. They live within your community at every moment and have lied for years to the publics face as they knew from inception it was illegal, now their trying to hide it and move forward, so no one will look back on their past crimes which are still hidden from the public. Their still lying while covering-up past crimes committed under the false guise of national security/public safety. If you do have a link or can direct me, please provide as ill do some research as Ive never heard that angle which you claim, and again dont doubt at all. 
3	Pathways and Pitfalls of Islamic StrugglesBy Richard Wilcox, PhD Eric Walberg has now written three books on the topic of Islamic culture in relation to Western geo-politics and world events. He is a prolific journalist and scholar who has lived in Central Asia and the Middle East (1). In Walbergs third book, Islamic Resistance to Imperialism (2015, Clarity Press, 304 pages), he presents a view of the world most people in the West, especially those exposed to a diet of mainstream media may not be familiar with or sympathetic to. Issues that deal with religion, culture and geo-politics are inherently complex. Even worse, disinformation is intentionally promulgated by Western governments and their lapdogs in the media to mislead the public into supporting the Wests war on terror. The constant drumbeat in the media is that Muslims are terrorists and that America needs to police the world to rid this evil. Since communist-totalitarianism in its most overt form fell in the East, a new bogeyman needed to to be invented in order to justify the military industrial complex. The gradual demonization of Muslims in the Hollywood media (See the documentary: Reel Bad Arabs) culminated in what I believe was a false flag terror attack on 9/11. The myth of the Muslim Terrorist was born. For this reason, Walbergs book is a healthy antidote to our largely uninformed and biased views on the worlds largest growing religious grouping. Walbergs central thesis is that it is perfectly natural for a people to resist an invading force, and thereby the actions taken by Islamic resisters to Western aggression, who, depending on your point of view are either labeled terrorists or freedom fighters, are morally justified. According to Islams holy book, the Quran, this is the action of jihad. An important aspect of this thesis is the way in which the moral principles of Islam, which invoke peace at every turn, and only to fight unless you are attacked, have evolved over time to compliment and attempt to improve Islamic governance and resistance to invaders and imperialists. Perhaps the recent initiative toward normalized relations reached between US President Obama and Iran is an indication of some progress in an otherwise very chaotic and violent situation, and cause for hope amidst the pathways and pitfalls of the Islamist struggles. Walberg believes that ISIS and Islamic resistance fighters are tenacious and brave, and fearless of death. He accepts that while false flag (fake) terror exists, at the end of the day Islamic resistance is real and will be a hard foe for the West to defeat. It is arguable to what extent which ISIS is doing its own bidding and is not being used as a proxy army by the West to attack majority Muslim population countries especially now as in Syria. Without doubt resisting forces such as Hamas in ongoing Hell On Earth of occupied Palestine and Hezbollah which drove invading Israelis out of their country in 2006, are classic examples of heroism on the part of Islamic jihadists/resisters. Walberg provides the historical context of colonialism and illustrative cases of independence movements within the Muslim world. For each country, the paths and degrees of success or failure vary widely. The Western media thrives on keeping the public ignorant by denying context, for example, such minor footnotes in history as Irans government that was overthrown by the CIA in 1956. It may be their country, but its our oil. Most Americans dont know that, unlike the US and Israel, who are serial offenders, Iran has not invaded another country for two centuries. The US supported Saddam Husseins attack on Iran in the 1980s (2). Americans are propagandized by the thoroughly Zionist controlled, anti-Muslim, divide-and-conquer strategy media to hate Iran despite its rich and civilized cultural history. On the other hand, the US de facto colony and ally of Saudi Arabia is not in reality a religious Muslim nation but a monarchy, and a particularly corrupt and brutal one at that. The moral hypocrisy of US policy is astonishing. Walberg explains that after the end of the Cold War, with the failure of the communist model to offer a mode of resistance for third world and Muslim countries which were Western colonies, only Islamism remains for restoring a moral order to preserve Muslim societies. Various Islamic movements throughout history evolved when traditional Islam failed to repel invaders. Just as necessity is the mother of invention, jihadism has offered a moral and practical resistance. Walberg writes: Even as the reform movements got underway, empires strategies remain devoted to manipulating local forces everywhere to promote its ends, and what better way to neutralize Islam than using Islamic states?. The first modern Islamic state, Saudi Arabia, was set up with the helping hand of Britain in 1932, and another one, Pakistan, in 1947. The logic being, if the local Muslims accepted their new post-colonial rulers, the rulers could keep their countries in compliance with empire, following the Islamic principle that you should obey even unjust rulers so long as they uphold prayer among you . Sometimes turning the other cheek just as Christianity prescribes can result suffering at the hands of hostile enemies. The Wahhabi faction of Islam, those that supposedly carried out the 9/11 terror attack, were fed up with turning the other cheek and took to the offensive. In contrast to Walbergs thesis which does take into consideration much factionalism and failure on the part of a unified Islamic resistance to Western imperialism, there is also a huge amount of evidence that the Muslim world has been infiltrated by Western/Israeli military planners who use the so-called terrorists as their own proxy armies to stir up trouble and dismember the old order in the Middle East. The lines are often blurry which makes it difficult to differentiate between false flags and proxy wars vs the reality of a powerful Muslim resistance to Western imperialism and Zionist Israel. Interestingly, you never hear about ISIS calling for jihad against Israel, only against Israels enemies such as Syria, who has been a long-time supporter of the Palestinian struggle. Which tail is wagging which dog? A major problem the largely secularized Christian West has with Islamic culture is an ignorant and distorted understanding of the Islamic religion. Walberg draws a philosophical connection between Marxist critics of the moral bankruptcy of capitalist Western culture with some aspects of Islam that call for a God-centered order, rather than a human ego-centered and materialistic culture. Ironically, most Americans/Christians probably do not know that Islam considers Jesus to be the Messenger of God and an important prophet in Islam. Walberg writes: Living in submission to the laws of God liberates the mind, soul and body from the evil influences of the world. This is the very opposite of the meaning of freedom as understood by the secular world, which means dismissing the laws of God and giving free rein to worldly desires. Another way to look at this might be the cultural conservatism of the Amish vs the neo-liberal economic order run by Wall Street bankster gangsters. A common misunderstanding of Islam is that it is a religion of war and revenge which advances its cause via Jihad. Jihad is in the first place a spiritual struggle inspired by and devoted to Allah, and jihad as war is strictly circumscribed by the Quran. Although the Prophet Muhammad fought bloody battles, he also declared to his followers: We are back from the lesser jihad to the greater jihad. The transcendent, allegorical greater jihad, he explained to them, is fighting the self [ego], the inner struggle that takes people from the natural tension of passions to the peace of spiritual education. The only clear call to armed jihad in the Quran is when you are directly attacked: it then is an individual dutyto fight to defend yourself and community.It is wrong to start a war: Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not commit aggression. The Quran always favors peace and negotiation over violence. That not all Muslims follow this principle is no different than people of other religions who preach peace but participate in state coordinated violence on behalf of powerful interests. We are all potential pawns on a chessboard. Muslims are taught to tolerate corrupt leaders rather than revert to violent overthrow, in order to avoid the devastation that follows from uprising and war, but neither are Muslims to cow to a bad ruler: The best Jihad is a speech of truth in the presence of a tyrant ruler states the Quran. In other words, the Quran cherishes the principle of Freedom of Speech. When jihad has been justifiably implemented by Islamists, Western propaganda refers to it as terrorism. Yet if we compare the Quran which promotes peace and tolerance with the Jewish Talmud, the latter tends to support the idea of a true and abiding hatred of the Other. Distinct from the racial exclusivity of Judaism (3; 4), in Islam one is encouraged to convert as long as you promise to follow the rules. Muslims can offer what is the best in humanity but are vulnerable to our worst tendencies as well. Journalist Robert Fisks monumental work, The Great War for Civilization, catalogs the corruption and brutality of all sides of the conflicts in the Middle East over the past few decades, neither painting the West entirely as evil nor the Middle Easterners entirely as victims. Corruption exists on both sides. Fisk ultimately blames the West beginning after WWI with the colonization of the Middle East as the root of current troubles. For this he has been called an anti semite due to his criticism of Israel. In addition, Muslim lands lie over vast reserves of oil which beginning in the 20th century became the fuel to drive progress. Western imperialism brushed aside the interests of the indigenous inhabitants for the purpose of industrial manufacturing and war. Director David Leans Lawrence of Arabia is a powerful cinematic triumph which takes artistic license including some exaggerations and distortions about Middle Eastern culture but conveys the geo-political and cultural complexity of the era. Walberg spent a number of years in Egypt as a journalist and therefore devotes much of the book toward understanding Egypts modern history. He explains how the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) has attempted to fuse spirituality with political action. The dilemmas facing Muslim activists graphically witnessed in Egypt in the twentieth century were experienced by the MB. A peaceful, evolutionary approach to renewing Islamic civilization amidst the chaos that followed the break up of the Ottoman Empire following WWI, Western colonization of the Middle East for oil reserves, and the establishment of the state of Israel on stolen Palestinian land has tested the will and patience of Middle Eastern peoples and their devotion to peaceful resolution of conflict, in line with Quranic teachings. Muslims have grappled with how to restore order to the region. But due to extreme persecution of Islamic activists which often descends into violence Muslim aims have been fractured. Muslims who reject random violence and violence against civilians can be pushed onto the same side as those who have turned to violence, when the powers-that-be persecute them both as if they were one united movement. Throughout the Cold War era the MB experimented with organic change from within, ultimately culminating in the 2011 Arab Spring, a true Islamic Awakening, according to Walberg. However, it was ultimately foiled when the militarys July 2013 coup put an end to this experiment, who collectively had boycotted MB government and fomented discontent by sabotaging the economy. On the other hand, in his chapter on the Shia Success In Iran Walberg examines how: [t]he major twentieth century [Islamic] reform thinkers (Banna, Qutb, Maududi, Khomeini, among others) all were motivated by a deep anger at the ravages of colonialism, the apparent success of the Zionist colonial project, and the suppression of Islam by Kemalist client governments. In one way or another, they advocated the revival of sharia law and creation of an Islamic state to replace the modern secular laws and nation states imposed on them. Like the earlier notion of the caliphate, the modern Islamic state is modeled after the example of Prophet Muhammad and rooted in Islamic law. In regards to the imposed regime of the Shah, by the 1970s Iranians had had enough: The Islamic movement in Iran movement led by Ayatollah Khomeini, instead of answering the soldiers bullets with their own, appealed to the soldiers not to shoot and kill unarmed civilians. It was at this level that the very serious threat posed by the Shahs military was neutralized. Khomeini understood the Wests nature well. Through the product of traditional Islamic education, he was clear about what imperialism and Zionism took for which was in essence a denial of Gods authority. During recent decades: [t]he success of the Islamic revolution to imperialism in Iran shook the foundations of the imperialist order. In its attempt to bring Iran back under the hegemony of the West, Zio-America has used various tactics punitive sanctions, internal sabotage in Iran, assassination of leading figures of the revolutions.as well as the brutal eight year war waged against it via Iraq. After the revolution Khomeinis Iran was a much more humane Iran than the brutal and oppressive imperialist regime under the Shah. To be sure, Iranians who have tasted the liberality of the West must have found that regime and those since to be less tolerant and liberal than what they have wanted. On a personal note, Iranians I have met in Japan on occasion and discussed politics with seemed focused on the faults of their own country without a deep understanding of how their country is under attack from Zio-America. I teach at one of Japans top language universities and have met students from around the world there. One general characteristic is that people are especially critical of their own governments, sometimes without realizing the external pressures and threats that exist which cause their countrys leaders to take conservative or oppressive political positions (in order to protect them from crime, drugs, pornography, prostitution and the cultural and political infiltration from the West meant to weaken national identities). Walberg offers an interesting interpretation on the 2001, 9/11 terror attacks in the US. He both accepts the possibility that it was an inside job but also largely dismisses the overwhelming scientific evidence that the twin towers were demolished with high-tech explosives. He seems to prefer the notion that Al Queda really did carry out this massively complex, super-high-tech operation as it supports the thesis to the book of Islamic Resistance to imperialism. It could be that in this case his theory of history is undermining the strength of his research methodology. I like some of the fresh journalism we find at a website called Non-aligned media featuring Brandon Martinez (5), who (also being from Canada, like Walberg) debunks the Canadian medias hyper pro-Zionist bias (one of my Canadian friends calls the the CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the ZBC, the Zionist Broadcasting Con-job). Canadian Prime Minster Stephen Harper makes sure to put the interests of Israel first and his own countrys interests dead last. Just as in the US, this all fits in nicely with the heretical ideology of Christian Zionism ( la, the Scofield Bible), the aims of the military industrial complex to invoke perpetual war for perpetual peace, and the war on terror against the Muslim world. One thorny issue that supporters of Islam do not fully acknowledge is that of mass immigration and multiculturalism. When the West bombs the Middle East back into the stone age and causes huge refugee crises, it creates problems at both ends. Millions of innocent people are killed or displaced, but also the host nations (whose Zionist Occupied Governments initiate the bombings) accept millions of political refugees and immigrants which inevitable destroy the culture of the host country. We see this process being rapidly carried out in the US and Europe, and other Western nations. In Japan, where I live, immigration is fairly tight, and almost no political refugees are accepted. This is viewed by the Western liberal media as racist and xenophobic, but in fact Japan is managing to stay relatively Japanese. I agree with Dr. David Duke that all of the peoples of the world have a right to preserve their heritage, culture and geographical boundaries while respecting others (6). When I moved to Japan I made every effort to learn the language and assimilate as best I could, though it has not been always easy and it is easy to carp, many foreigners I know who have lived here for decades cannot even speak the language well, and constantly carp about Japans inferior system. Walbergs book is a thorough education on the inner workings of Islam throughout history, especially in relation to its reaction against Western imperialism and interventionism in the Middle East. On a note of hope, he offers a detailed analysis of how Islam can regain the Ummah (nation, community) and in the final chapter examines the Caliphate which is that form of government where the nations leader is considered a political and religious successor to the prophet Muhammad (7). Walbergs book is essential reading for anyone who wants to go beyond the mainstream pablum of Western propaganda in order to better understand Islamic history, politics, and the future of the Middle East.

1	Although veteran Jets quarterback Brett Favre claims he still loves the game, dwindling enthusiasm and a desire to bow out while on top has him contemplating retirement again, Favre confirmed Monday. 'I always told myself I'd know when it was time to walk away,' the guaranteed first-ballot Hall of Famer told reporters at the Jets practice facility. 'But after 17 or 18, you know, practices as the quarterback of this team, I'm just tired, mentally and physically.' Favre's decision to sit out last Thursday's preseason game against the Eagles sparked rumors that Favre was already reconsidering finally hanging up his cleats again. Favre said that, although he had not yet made a decision, he and his wife Deanna had been discussing his possible retirement since he returned from retirement in early August. 'I just showed up at camp, looked around at all those young faces, the unfamiliar stadium, thought about the brand new playbook, and I realized I was tired of it all,' Favre said. 'I love being a football player, I love being a quarterback, and I love being a New York Jet. But one thing Deanna and I have talked about is that I love retirement, too.' 'At least, I love talking about it,' Favre joked. 'I guess I have a lot more experience with that than I do actual retirement, now that I think about it.' If Favre were to retire this week, the starter for the first game would be third-year pro Kellen Clemens, a strong-armed but untested passer who has backed up Favre for Favre's entire Jet career. 'I think he's ready,' Favre said, noting that he had been doing his best to mentor Clemens over the past few days. 'He's been waiting what seems like forever for his shot, and they can't expect him to just sit around while I take, like, a farewell tour around the league. You have to want it at this level, and I'd say that at this point, he wants it a lot more than I do.' In addition to mental fatigue, Favre said rising expectations were putting him under undue pressure. 'Face it, last year I went to the conference championship, so the only way for me to be successful here would be for me to win a Super Bowl,' the all-time leader in passing touchdowns said. 'And that's a tall order. With me out of the picture, though, these guys will have a great season if they can beat Miami twice. So I think, really, that this is best for the fans.' Coach Eric Mangini admitted that he had spoken to Favre several times concerning his possible retirement, but would not speculate on the team's future either way. 'I told him that only he knew if fatigue was a factor, that he should talk it over with his family, and that I'd respect any decision he made,' Mangini said. 'A player of his caliber, after everything he's done and with what the name Brett Favre has come represent, it's really no surprise he's tired.' 'Hell, I'm pretty tired myself, and Brett's only been here a month,' Mangini added. 
2	BREAKING: Trump Blocked From Securing All 270 Votes... Its Not Over Yet According to reports, at least six rebel electors have come together to sign an agreement in an attempt to stop President-elect Donald Trump from getting the 270 Electoral College votes he needs to become our next president. Daily Mail recently reported that it is unlikely Democrats will be able to convince 37 Republican electors to change their votes. However, the fact that there is an unusually large number of faithless electors could undermine the institution, which has already been under attack since Trumps victory. Most states make their electors cast their vote for the winner of the states popular vote, but some states (like Arizona and Georgia for instance) have no rules in place against their electors going rogue. Liberals have been calling these states demanding that they turn their back on the system to prevent Trump from getting to the White House. Some suspect that even if rogue electors were able to block Trump from securing enough electoral votes, the House of Representatives would likely vote him into office anyway. This is simply a demonstration of Democrats unwillingness to stand behind our nations president. Im a former U.S. Marine and the core values are honor, courage, commitment, Michael Baca, from the Electoral College in Georgia, commented. I do think that a byproduct would be a serious look into Electoral College reform. What do you think of this new development? Do Democrats need to give up and accept the fact that Trump won this election fair and square? 
2	BREAKING NEWS: Obama Already Registering Newly Arrived Illegals As Democrats According to recent reports, it appears the administration might not just be ignoring the crisis at the border. In fact, it appears that they might be attempting to use it to their advantage, it order to increase the Democratic population. Some claim that Democrats have been registering illegal immigrants to the Democratic party as soon as they enter our country. According to reports, after these illegal immigrants are being sent to FEMA camps to be housed and fed, they are being greeted with open arms by Democrats who are allegedly urging them to register before leaving. And whats more, propaganda containing the ObamaYes We Can pin has been spotted at the camp, along with paper plates with the presidents face printed on it. If these numerous reports are accurate, then we are seeing one of the most blatant attempts from the government to cheat the system. What do you think? 
1	Foreign student Misako Takashima, 19, continues to delight third-floor residents of Carlson Hall with her crazy-Japanese-punk-girl antics, Concordia College sources reported Monday. Beloved Carlson Hall resident Misako Takashima. 'Everybody loves Misako,' said sophomore Jenn Erickson, 20, speaking from the third-floor lounge. 'She's always acting all crazy, running around and making everyone laugh. We're so lucky to have her on our floor.' Takashima, a sophomore who has not yet declared a major, transferred from Japan's Osaka University at the beginning of the fall semester. She immediately stood out among her Concordia classmates, not just for being Japanese, but for her exuberant behavior and eccentric dress, which includes knee-high vinyl boots, ripped skirts and T-shirts, and magenta-streaked hair. 'I tell my father I want to go to New York City for school, and he say, 'No way!'' said Takashima, shaking her finger and frowning in imitation of her stern father. 'So I go to Minnesota. It's good here, too. It snows, and everything is white! Then we have snowball fight!' While most Concordia students take pains to seem mature, Takashima is unafraid to embrace her whimsical side: She makes chalk drawings on the sidewalk, puts on impromptu puppet shows, and takes pictures of her dormmates' bare feet and tapes them to her door. According to Erickson, who lived in Carlson Hall last year, the third floor is 'about 20 times more fun' since Takashima arrived. 'Last year was so bad around here: Everyone broke into these little cliques and hated each other,' Erickson said. 'But this year, it's completely different. We all get along great. That's totally due to Misako.' In addition to fostering floor-wide friendship, Takashima has broadened her dormmates' horizons, introducing them to numerous Japanese pop-cultural staples. 'Misako's room is so great,' said freshman Rachel Alarie, 18. 'She's got cool toys all over the place, like stacks of these Japanese comic books called manga and posters for weird Japanese cartoon movies. And she has a PlayStation that only plays Japanese games. Everyone's completely addicted to this one weird game where a little man shaped like a domino walks through a grocery store. Once I stayed up until 3 a.m. playing it.' Takashima's offbeat interests are matched by equally offbeat behavior. Often, she will spontaneously scream with delight or run in circles, attracting the attention of strangers. But despite such over-the-top antics, Takashima, her classmates agreed, is one of the nicest people they have ever met. 'Some people can be so stuck-up, but Misako is nice to everyone,' said Chelsea Mason, 18. 'Misako's mom mails her junk food with Asian writing on the packages. If she knows you're having a bad day, she'll hang some little candies on your doorknob with a note that says, 'Cheer up, my friend! Do not be sad!'' When she makes phone calls home to Japan, Takashima loves to pass the phone to her new American friends so they can talk to her brother Ryunosuke. 'Ryunosuke sounds so cute,' said Alarie, one of the many third-floor residents who has a long-distance crush on Takashima's brother. 'He's 20. I told him he should fly to Minnesota for our Christmas party.' The floor's resident administrator, 23-year-old graduate student Erin Lorimer, said she expects the upcoming holiday party to be a big success, thanks in no small part to Takashima. 'At Christmas in the quad, there's a contest for the best-decorated lounge, and I know we're going to win,' Lorimer said. 'Misako taught us origami, and we decorated the tree and with hundreds of little white birds. Then we made a sign that says 'Peace On Earth' in English and Japanese. She's so awesome.' Unfortunately, not all Concordia students are lucky enough to live in Takashima's dorm. Stephanie Yoder, a Wycliff Hall resident, expressed jealousy of her Carlson Hall counterparts. 'I wish we could have [Misako] for our dorm,' Yoder said. 'We have a girl from Germany on fourth floor, but she's really shy. She's got a single [occupancy room] and hardly ever comes out.' 
3	USAF seeks to disrupt, deny, degrade, destroy, or deceive adversaries via cyberwarfareMadison Ruppert, Contributor In the recent past, the United States military attempted to keep their cyberwarfare program under wraps but now it appears that this approach has been abandoned completely. Considering all of the malware popping up in the Middle East which is regularly traced back to the United States and Israel including Stuxnet, Flame, Duqu and the possibly related Mahdi, this isnt all too surprising. The Wests cyberwarfare efforts are rapidly becoming common knowledge so Im not shocked to see the Air Force opening up about their goals. In a solicitation posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website, the Air Force reveals that they are seeking some quite astounding capabilities as part of the Cyberspace Warfare Operations (CWO) program. Under this $10 million effort, which is mostly focused on short programs ranging from three to twelve months, the Air Force is seeking, The employment of cyberspace capabilities to destroy, deny, degrade, disrupt, deceive, corrupt, or usurp the adversaries ability to use the cyberspace domain for his advantage. The objectives for the program include, Technologies/concepts for developing capabilities associated with Cyberspace Warfare Attack (i.e., to disrupt, deny, degrade, destroy, or deceive an adversarys ability to use the cyberspace domain to his advantage.) According to the Wired blog Danger Room, the military wants its Trojans and worms available, ASAP, not only to be available to the top brass but also to the operational commander. This means that cyberattacks will not only be launched with permission of the president or top officials, as large-scale traditional strikes tend to be, but they can also be launched at only the most strategically important moments. In other words, if a lower-level commander decides it would be beneficial to deploy malware for one reason or another, the military believes that this ability should be part of their standard arsenal. A major goal of this program seems to be to allow attacks before a traditional battle even begins, which seems somewhat nonsensical since by most metrics cyberattacks could be considered an act of war depending on the target and the severity of the attack. This is evidenced by the Air Force seeking, Cyberspace technologies/capabilities employing unique characteristics resulting in the adversary entering conflicts in a degraded state. As Danger Room points out, discussing these goals in public seems quite amazing indeed, even if the terms are quite vague, because currently the Obama administration is actually investigating leaked information to the press about the U.S. cyberwarfare program against Iran. This led to a bill dealing with so-called unauthorized disclosure, more commonly referred to as a leak which created new punishments for individuals who leak classified information of some kind. I see this as somewhat similar to the governments approach to the drone assassination program which they speak openly about at times then turn around and claim they cant discuss in court. Indeed, some in the U.S. military are actually bragging about their cyberwarfare activities, like Lieutenant General Richard Mills, who led coalition forces in southwestern Afghanistan in both 2010 and 2011. At a recent technology conference, Mills openly bragged about having his troops hack into communications of alleged militants. I can tell you that as a commander in Afghanistan in the year 2010, I was able to use my cyber operations against my adversary with great impact, said Mills, according to the Associated Press. I was able to get inside his nets, infect his command-and-control, and in fact defend myself against his almost constant incursions to get inside my wire, to affect my operations, Mills added. According to Mills, they have also recently assembled a team of Marines stationed at the headquarters of the National Security Agency (NSA), focused on giving the Marine Corps an offensive capability. They also established a second company of Marines who will be designed to increase the availability of intelligence analysts, intelligence collectors and offensive cyber operations and place them in the appropriate unit, at the appropriate time, at the appropriate place, so that forward deployed commander in the heat of combat has full access to the cyber domain. In addition, work on Plan X has already begun with a $600,000 contract to Invincea, a cybersecurity firm based out of the Washington area. This is interesting because the project wasnt supposed to get underway until the 20th of September, while obviously work has already begun. In under a month their proposal was approved, supposedly because, Invincea is the only source who possesses the particular commercial software and knowledge necessary to rapidly address technical insights in modeling a cyber battlespace and optimizing digital battle plans. There are no signs of this trend slowing down in the slightest since, as Danger Room rightly notes, These days, the build-up of Americas online arsenal has become the subject of all sorts of open talk and deal-making.

2	Obama Relentlessly Mocked At UC Irvine Apparently, a group of UC Irvine graduates are fed up with President Obamas actions and are not afraid to make it known. When Obama gave a commencement address, they decided to create a mock program schedule for the ceremony, outlining the topics the President would cover. Here is the program that Breitbart first reported on: Barack Obama 12:00-12:15 Barack Obama 12:15-12:25 Barack Obama 12:25-12:35 Barack Obama 12:35-12:50 They also posted a picture of Obama with a mock message to the graduating students, which read: Dear UC Irvine Graduate: Congratulations on completing your education from this prestigious institute of higher learning! You truly all have a bright future ahead of yourselves as leaders of this great state and nation! Once you get that job, you better start saving. Let me be clear, as a new taxpayer, your share of the new debt is well over $150,000! Politicians have spent decades making lavish promises to American workers and youll have to chip in your fair share to pay for their retirement! President Barack Obama Congratulations Graduate! What do you think of the mock program? 
1	With the launch Tuesday of a massive nationwide ad campaign, athletic footwear manufacturer Adidas has officially unveiled the Adidas Bystander, the first shoe designed for running away from a mass public shooting. From its reinforced tread engineered specifically for running in a zigzag pattern to its whisper-quiet, low-squeak rubber, the Bystander combines speed and stealth to create the perfect shoe for escaping or hiding from an armed murderer, Adidas CEO Herbert Hainer said at a press conference. And its brand-new Firmo-Grip sole minimizes slippage, even when youre panicked and need to move quickly through puddles of freshly spilled blood. No shoe has ever been better suited for todays running, crouching, and cowering needs. The shoes, which go on sale at the end of the month, will be available for wearers as young as 5. 
1	The subtle interplay of the three varietal hops in MacTadcaster's Nut Brown Stout went tragically unappreciated Saturday when a group of high-school students got shitfaced on a case of the award-winning microbrew. A case of MacTadcaster's Nut Brown Stout, a three-time winner at the Great American Beer Festival, was wasted on these local teens. According to reports, Jared Rosenthal, Andrew Gobbola and Tracey Sheehan, 17-year-old seniors at East Brunswick High, obtained the beer from Rosenthal's refrigerator while his parentsbona-fide beer-lovers capable of fully relishing the subtle, hand-crafted taste of a MacTadcaster'swere away for the weekend. Though none of the teens were able to comment on the Nut Brown Stout's chocolatey aroma or its surprisingly smoky almond finish, Rosenthal did say that it had 'fucked him up majorly' and that he was 'seriously payin' the price.' Added Gobbola: 'Dude, I was ripped to the tits.' Despite consuming enormous quantities of the beer, the teens failed to detect the all-wheat malt that MacTadcaster's has developed over the years to give its beer 'bottom.' Further, none of them commented on the beer's uniquely dry, smoky hopping or the pleasant coffee highlights so often discussed among MacTadcaster's Nut Brown Stout cognoscenti. Only the rich, robust texture of the beer drew any comment from the teens, with Sheehan overheard telling Rosenthal, 'That beer is some thick shit.' MacTadcaster's Nut Brown Stout has won the Gold Medal for Best Small Batch Stout for three consecutive years at the Great American Beer Festival. John Winbourne, Chief Brewmaster at MacTadcaster's, said he was 'shocked and disappointed' that the high-quality beer had wound up in the hands of unsophisticated, high school-age drinkers. 'Nobody the age of 17 can reasonably be expected to have the connoisseurship to detect even a fraction of the subtle complexities of our carefully aged stout,' Winbourne said. 'If they had guzzled our Honey Hefeweizen, a much simpler beer known for its plain, rumpled friendliness, the horror may have been muted somewhat.' 'It's a tragedy, a real tragedy,' said Steve Brauner, editor of Beer Aficionado magazine. 'We're not talking about Bud Ice or Coors Light, or some mass-produced swill of a lager intended for crass high-school kids to get a cheap buzz off of. This is a complex, mature stout, whose creamy head alone is enough to overwhelm even the most experienced beer drinker.' 'I can only hope those kids didn't drink it chilled,' Brauner added. 'Stouts are best enjoyed at room temperature.' According to sources within East Brunswick High School, the trio has previously been seen at night near the school's football field, drinking inexpensive domestic beers. 'While such experimentation with alcohol is strongly discouraged,' school principal Eileen Fleischer said, 'at least these previous incidents only involved the three students getting wasted, as opposed to this senseless wasting of hand-crafted, award-winning beer.' Helmut Schildkraut is the experienced Bavarian farmer who harvested the hops in the MacTadcaster's twelve-pack at the peak of their mellow ripeness, then aged them in a oaken sherry cask for three months to maximally enhance their dignified flavor. Contacted at his home in the tiny German village of Gtbourg, he said: 'Zis makes me very sad. Nein, der MacTadcaster's ist not fur der kinder. Ist fur der discriminating bier drinker only.'

3	Decision to Blow up US Citizen With Robot Was Improvised in Less Than 20 MinutesBy Claire Bernish Already igniting fury around the country for neglecting any semblance of due process, the use of the Remotec model F-5 to deliver a pound of C-4 explosive to decimate suspected shooter Micah Xavier Johnson as he targeted police in a sniper-style attack, has been revealed by the police chief as a hastily-plotted whim. Browns disturbing offhand comment came during a press conference in which the model of the mechanical tactical droneclarified as the Remotec Andros Mark V-A1was finally made public, in an apparent attempt to quell constitutional rights advocates ire over the unprecedented move by police. While Johnsons cold-blooded attack on random police officers in one of the most progressive and reform-minded forces in the country landed an official black mark in the annals of American history, theas many advocates warnegregious violation of his human and constitutional rights as the first U.S. citizen blown up in this manner earned police, themselves, a similarly notorious mark. Obviously, the controversy doesnt end with a model namethe drone isnt the issue for most people outraged over its use; rather, the fact a citizen was bombed without so much as a nod of consideration for his human, civil, or constitutional rights that has people steamed. As Daniel McAdams for the Ron Paul Institute keenly noted, following the now-apparent improvised and hasty decision by law enforcement to explode Johnson: The media and opinion leaders are presenting us with a false choice: if we question the use of drones to kill Americanseven if we suspect they have done very bad thingswe somehow do not care about the lives of police officers. That is not the case. It is perfectly possible to not want police officers to be killed in the line of duty but to wholeheartedly reject the idea of authorities using drones to remotely kill Americans before they are found guilty. Noting police originally suspected a different person altogether of perpetrating the attacks, McAdams implored the country to consider the ramifications of setting such a precedentand, considering the disclosure of the nearly impromptu decision to use this drone, that warning should be an imperative. Perhaps we all need to familiarize ourselves with this drones mechanics now that this dystopic precedent has been set. Manufactured by the military-industrial complexs darling, Northrop Grumman, this tactical robot is driven by a human via remote control, weighs 790 pounds and has a top speed of 3.5 mph, as the Washington Post described. It carries a camera with a 26x optical zoom and 12x digital zoom. When its arm is fully extended, it can lift a 60-pound weight. The hand at the end of the arm can apply a grip of about 50 pounds of force. Interestingly enough, the $151,000 tactical robot provided a far more life-affirming service just one year ago. According to Metro UK, the same model once assisted the California Highway Patrol when negotiations with a man threatening to kill himself by jumping from a San Jose overpass failedby delivering a pizza. Technological advancement, though overwhelmingly positive, is only as beneficent as those who put it to useand how they choose to employ it. In just one year, a pizza-delivering robot with the potential to save human life during bomb threats or similar situations became a casually-deployed, due process-stripping weapon of war against a U.S. citizen. It would be prudent we take more than just a minute to critically consider that.

Then the target list gets long, from known terrorists on files we cant see for national security reasons, to alternative news bloggers for inciting sedition. Sieg Heil! HAHAHAHA Think much, he was a criminal and a murderer, I also hope the Robot was OK afterwards.. Were you there? No. So, you are simply parroting what your TV has told you, arent you. How do you know they got the right person? How do you know there was enough certainty that he was the right person? You dont. Wouldnt it be great if we had some kind of court or something where evidence of a crime can be presented, and people accused of a crime can offer a defense, and then people can make an informed decision regarding the guilt of that person, and decide on an appropriate punishment? The thing about being brainwashed, is you are brainwashed to not know you are being brainwashed. Did they get anyone? It doesnt matter if hes the one who killed the people earlier, as you dont have to be guilty to be lawfully arrested on suspicion of a felony, but what does matter is that he was resisting a lawful arrest by using lethal weapons against the arresting officers, and thats what makes a decision to kill him legitimate. Did they consider nonlethal options? Probably, but they likely wouldve put more innocent people in harms way by choosing that option. We werent there, but the officers were, so until theres some evidence of impropriety there is no reason to second guess their decision. The importance of due process is obviously beyond you. This guy was ACTIVELY resisting arrest using lethal force. They knew with virtual certainty that they had the guy who was resisting arrest with such force. Whether hes the same guy who killed people earlier is essentially irrelevant. We dont require that any other citizen get court approval before using lethal force in defense of themselves. Theres no reason police would have attenuated rights in this regard just because theyre effectuating an arrest on our behalf. Again how do you know that? Were you there? Sure police can lie, but they tend not to lie as often, and they tend not to lie when its a large group of them who were there witnessing the same thing. If youre that convinced the police are lying about everything what makes you even think they killed someone? They could be making up that too. The fact is most people consider the testimony of an average law enforcement officer to be at least as credible as a random person off the street (and in most cases this is well justified.) The only people whose opinions of the polices credibility really count in the end are the grand jury that oversees the jurisdiction. If they believe the evidence that the police officers had a reasonable belief that their life was being put in danger by this person as they were attempting to arrest him then there are no charges. THAT is the only time that courtroom due process comes into play. Until you can present some evidence that the police are lying IN THIS INSTANCE then reasonable people will tend to take the word of those who were there (as fallible and human though they may be.) You have just illustrated exactly why due processes is important. Which is why due process is afforded when its possible to do so without getting innocent people killed in the process. The police tried for hours to effectuate the arrest and give this guy his due process rights, it was his choice not to. How terrible all that donut eating time wasted! Time wasted isnt that big of a deal, but it does show that this guy was afforded every reasonable opportunity to be arrested and receive his due process. DWS Most Americans Are Products of the Boob Tube TV Programming. There are some good decent cops, lots of phony ones too. But that guy was a racist wanting to kill white cops. Im sick and tired of these jihadists to incl home grown, killing for sport. Cops were doing the robot act for their safety. You sound like you are for cop killers, like that pc of filthy scum, who was a likely jihadist. Get a life you jerk. I happened to notice this morning that Israeli trained cops have designated Black Lives Taking into account how treasonous our Israeli trained cops are, dual citizen owned DHS Shall we create a An upset group of people begin to legally demonstrate, some MOSSAD/CIA/FBI/DEA/NSA assets Conspiracy nut? Not hardly. The most interesting aspect of this is how many DUHmericans think it was a good idea. Anytime BLM people are blown up, its good idea Lets see, hmmm, BLM used to refer to Bureau of Land Management. But I think you refer to some militant terrorist group separatist in nature regarding a single race above the rest, right? Who ARE the racists in todays world? The PC feel good folks, who cant stand anybody who thinks for himself? Theres no such right to due process when youre currently in the commission of a felony. That occurs only after the fact, and they want to arrest, charge, and imprison/execute you for that. While youre in the active commission of a crime, all bets are off. Wholly inaccurate interpretation of the constitution. Citation required.. Soyou believe that LEOs should judge, sentence and kill? all indoctrinated sycophantic statists believe it wholeheartedly! Their god is the government and it can do no wrong! Where precisely in the Constitution does it say that?? That is very unsettling!! Is this NDAA in action?? I am thinking it might be. No, police have always been allowed to kill someone who is committing a violent felony and who is resisting arrest with lethal force. This is not new or even particularly controversial, but people are getting all bent out of shape based on the mechanism which isnt really relevant legally or morally. TRANSLATION: Police have always been allowed to kill indiscriminately whenever their feelings get hurt and never have to face any consequences, so we peasants should be overjoyed that we can now be killed by robots without feelings. Got it. This scumbag wasnt killed by a robot without feelings, he was killed by a flesh and blood police officer operating a robot by remote control, and if you think that killing a felony suspect who is resisting a lawful arrest by lethal force counts as indiscriminate you need to go back to elementary school. Another dumbass government troll who never read the constitution. Move to North Korea if you want to push that big government is always right bullcrap. You obviously dont deserve to live in a free country so LEAVE! Ill help you pack from your mothers basement Lol, talk about strawman How arguing that the use of lethal force during a felony arrest of a person who is trying to murder the arresting officers (of the local city police department) is in-fact lawful counts as big government is always right is beyond me, but assuming youve actually read the constitution (which I doubt,) which part would you say requires that murderers be allowed to remain free or that officers sacrifice their lives to try to arrest them without using lethal force? (Hint: Its not in there, but Im curious what part you think applies.) As soon as you point out the part of the Constitution that says law enforcement must be obeyed at the penalty of death; otherwise STFU you anti-American piece of garbage government troll You moron, the U.S. Constitution enumerates authority delegated to the federal government by the states. It doesnt give the states their police power, and someones right to kill someone else who is trying to murder them predates even the state constitutions. um the Constitution IS the law of the land.. you may now crawl back and lick your masters boots Umm, clearly you dont have much in the way of legal education or knowledge. While the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law with regard to specific enumerated powers delegated by the federal government, the supremacy clause does NOT give the federal government authority thats not delegated to it by the states. With regard to virtually everything that affects day to day life and routine criminal law its the state constitutions and relevant statutes derived therefrom that are controlling, and some of those predate the U.S. Constitution and were in no way superceded by it. Those of us not in Washington D.C. live under a dual sovereignty system and have since the nation was formed (and for someone who claims to resist tyranny you sure do have an unrealistically centralized and dictatorial interpretation of the relationship between the states and Federal government.) Well youre quite the little boot licking statist arent you! Would it be fair to state that you believe that the state constitutions and laws/statutes/codes/policies automatically apply to everyone simply because of their physical location within what is commonly called a state, would that be right?? If thats what believing in rule of law makes me then so be it. Of course entering a sovereign state puts you under its police power. That is pretty much the definition of a state. Its not a f-ing voluntary club. hmm entering a sovereign state puts you under its police power?? Is the application of law arbitrary and capricious, or just a belief in magic?? Remember, we want your FACTS, not your feelings, beliefs, opinions or the feelings, beliefs or opinions of others..just facts! Not hearsay, hearsay of hearsay, rumor, speculation, assumptions, presumptions, hypotheticals, conjecture, sophistry, obfuscation, scenarios, what ifs, fraud or lies. Good luck! Well sure, theres always going to be a certain amount of arbitrariness about it, as the creator of the universe isnt down here on earth dictating our daily affairs Its quite clear when the law applies, as it is spelled out in the statutes and case law, and enforced by the guys with the guns If you dont like rule of law then move to the deepest darkest part of Africa and become a warlord. Those of us with above a room temp IQ will take the dramatically improved standard of living that comes with the rule of law. so you cant actually prove it applies nor do you have any evidence, other than spouting platitudes and your less than worthless opinion. They apply because the laws themselves say that they apply and because of the men with guns who forcibly apply it. What the f-ck else would you accept as proof? (Its not like Gods going to come down here and stamp them with applies in bright red ink.) When they killed this guy was he in the process of killing? Did these LEOs actually see this one guy killing people? Does it matter he was pretty much ruined by our own military? He was in the process of trying to murder the LEOs trying to effectuate the arrest. Yes, they definitively identified the guy as the one trying to murder the LEOs who were trying to arrest him, by the scumbags own direct and clear admissions. No, the fact that he was messed up in the head from being in the military and being a henchman for big business doesnt make one bit of difference. (The fact that he also murdered a bunch of people earlier in the day isnt a directly relevant factor.) Is it so tough to capture live than kill? Guess so? We werent there. We are supposed to believe the media? Yes, capturing someone who is shooting at you is a lot harder than killing them Youre right, we werent there, so we should believe those who were unless some evidence indicates they arent being truthful. why wait, just kill them, right?? it should happen to someone you care about.. but then again, a statists god, the government can do no wrong! Why wait? Because I, like most responsible individuals, are overwhelmingly likely to be successful in preventing any mentally deranged family members from putting someone else in reasonable apprehension of serious injury or death. Your statement is just about as idiotic as saying why wait for certain individuals to become murderers when we can just kill all babies when theyre born? Gee, hmm, thats a tough one (not.) It absolutely matters if he was not of sound mind. That is what juries are for. No, it actually doesnt matter, not at all, and whether someone is mentally ill and shooting at officers or completely sane and evil the officers duty to apprehend and protect the public, and their right to self defense up to and including lethal force, is exactly the same. Nice try though. Remember that when one of your loved ones gets old and starts to lose their mind. Hope the police dont shoot them for wandering in a threatening manner. Yeah because I love them I guess Ill just have to keep my firearms away from any loved ones with mental illness or who have the mental faculties of a child If they are so off their rocker theyre liable to attack someone then Ill certainly do everything I can to keep them from wandering off and putting themselves and others in danger. This is not new. youre a pathological liar! you have no such evidence! The LEOs statements as eyewitnesses are evidence and until someone can provide alternative evidence to suggest that they are lying the police are who I (and most reasonable Americans) will tend to believe. they had to blow him up to eliminate evidence to the fact that it was just a body and the whole thing may have been a false flag so oboma could once again claim the need for gun control and further the divide between races to bring us closer to martial law. Not good.they could have waited him out. I would have wanted him alive to be questioned. Looks like a coverup or a false flag now. Police dont have to wait someone out. The police decide the timetable, and if hes still resisting with lethal force when they want things to end then he dies. I wouldnt be surprised about the false flag scenario turning out to be true, so I would like to see investigated who made the decision to use the robot. As long as a reasonable person couldve concluded that he was continuing to project lethal force to resist arrest then its all above board. I just hope that the robot wasnt damaged There is no evidence that the robot bombing ever happened. Well, the police and the media says otherwise.Knowing how truthful these two are the sheeple must believe the story More robots less crime. Democrats love to kill blacks, preferably before they are born, however. MURDER without a trial ! This CANNOT be justified in any way ! Sleeping gas is not an option ? We are sliding down slope to absolute serfdom and totalitarianism. Theres no such right to due process when youre currently in the commission of a felony. That occurs only after the fact, and they want to arrest, charge, and imprison/execute you for that. While youre in the active commission of a crime, all bets are off Learn!! Its amazing how many people think that an active shooter deserves full courtroom due process protections plus appellate review F-ing retards. You are not an American with that point of view !! Read my response to the idiot Jo Peter below you are in the same category ! A Fascist Pig !! One more time. Theres no such right to due process when youre currently in the commission of a felony. That occurs only after the fact, and they want to arrest, charge, and imprison/execute you for that. While youre in the active commission of a crime, all bets are off. No different than giving a sniper the shoot order. That is what They ( The Hierarchy Enslaving You ) want you to think ! Snipers are military ( not peace officers ) against civilian and that is expressly prohibited by the Articles of Confederation, The Constitution and the Bill Of Rights !! Guilty until proven innocent! It is everyones RIGHT! The exploded guy would never have been proven innocent, therefore he was guilty. There would have been more innocent blood had not this method been chosen. The reasoning is virtually identical to the use of nuclear devices to end WWll. It was brilliant and as long as it is used only on those we know are 100% guilty, I am good with it. I do believe that some, if not all, of these shootings are false-flag ops. Im inclined to think this was not a false flag op. Im inclined to think this was not a false flag op. Funny, this has ALL the hallmarks of a false flag op: 1) Story changes overnight from multiple shooters in custody to just one shooter Im sorry this story has more holes than Bill Clintons concubines There are enough facts mixed in with the fiction to confuse anybody. What you responded with tends to get me rethinking my own statement. This crap is probably going to result in the shooting war that Obama is trying to foment. The ignorance that is routinely displayed by the supporters of Obama and his ilk suggests that ARE people willing to fire upon those that arent on the Left. As usual, no forensic analysis or ballistic tests required now. No proof will be presented that shows this guy shot anyone. All that remains is the governments and the medias word on it. And I trust them as far as I can throw an elephant. One more thing, who supplied the C-4? Is this something all police departments have lying around now? Bomb squads always have it to detonate bombs they find. The means were already on hand, so the choice was take him out with a bullet, or take him out with a bomb, and the bomb put officers lives at less risk so was a not entirely unreasonable choice. Its obvious many here have never been put into a life threatening combat situation, almost guaranteed they never defended their Country and never will. Legally and morally there is no difference between the remote detonated block of C4 and a sniper bullet to this dirtbags head He wasnt killed for the murders he had already committed, he was killed to prevent the murders he wouldve committed during the course of arresting him, and a suspects ongoing and deliberate resistance by lethal force to lawful arrest is one scenario under which the police are 100% justified in killing the f-cker. You dont recognize brainwashing of your own self? Again, police shouldnt be in the position of being judge, jury, executioner!! Dont we have plenty of technology to incapacitate not kill? All we know is what the media tells us and I for one am so skeptical I wont believe a single word from the media. You are reiterating the very rationale the cops have to use to killand live with their decisions. Legally and morally every single American has the moral and legal authority to be judge, jury, and executioner to someone actively trying to kill them The only difference is that the police also have a duty to arrest this murderer. When their natural right to self defense is combined with their duty to apprehend then yes, they, of their own accord, can choose to take a violently resisting felons life, with no court decisions and no appeals. If you dont like it then move to the darkest Africa or someplace else where they cannot enforce rule of law, but here we dont treat active shooters with kid gloves. Criminal procedural due process This guy wasnt executed because of any crime that he had committed, and his guilt or innocent was irrelevant. He was killed for his ongoing use of lethal force to resist a lawful felony arrest. There was no criminal case yet and thus no procedural protections of any kind. Any American citizen is legally and morally permitted to intentionally kill someone who is actively trying to murder them, and these officers of course retained this natural right even as they fulfilled their duty to apprehend this felony suspect. Im sick of reading your ITS IN DA CONSTITUTION crap. No one cares anymore, those who hold power, that is. People like YOU, the hoi polloi, are never considered as TPTB do their thing. The constitution is a dead critter corpse of yesteryears ideologies; killed by the apathetic, the idiots who believe known liars, the gullible who believe lollipops come from Skittle clouds, the cowardly who crap themselves at the prospect of responsibility for self, and the nobodies who will go to their graves as nobodies . If there ever were constitutional freedoms they are long since vanished under the concept of tyranny of the masses of moral busybodies who make a point to life of running YOUR life You will never see another free society again. There will not even be a half-hearted attempt at it, even. Unfortunately I have to concede that what you state is accurate and correctnobody cares anymore and we are probably past the point of no return ! I get to watch all the nobodies nash teeth in the future and call to kill because of anger caused by their own ignorant shortfalls. Touchet ! Do not fool yourself,It was a drill hmm i cant seem to locate where blowing up a suspect is part of DUE PROCESS in the Constitution, can someone point that out for everyone?? The entire Dallas story is just more fake bullshit made up by the corrupt criminal system. I doubt there were actually any police killed. I would guess the shooter was duped into being there, a patsy, probably hired by the US government and probably thought he was helping to fight terrorism. That is if there even was a shooter killed, that may have been more made up bullshit. Im sure the robot story is just more bullshit. 1) To take away our guns. At this point I am trying to figure out a way to escape from the United States before its too late and national martial law in declared over their fake bullshit. Imagine wacoHellary with an unlimited supply of these things at her fingertips. America under that sick psychobitch = HUNGER GAMES! Take all of this robot business with a grain of salt. They will have us believe that on the spur of the moment, they made the decision to place a $150,000 robot in an enclosed parking garage and detonated the C4 explosives it was holding. All the while theyre completely oblivious to the structural damage this might cause, and the ensuing threat to the well-being of police officers and private vehicles should the garage collapse. There are many other holes in the official story, but this one by far takes the prize. So before we even approach this incident from the standpoint of its constitutionality, Chief Brown needs to convincingly explain to the American people the nuts and bolts of this alleged action. Jeez, maybe this is why those two sorry excuses for an American president were so engulfed in sophomoric laughter at the Dallas memorial service on Tuesday, at a time when somberness and reflection should have been the order of the day. They know the sheeple will buy anything (and apparently have again). Terminator here wego.Next up day of rage. This is merely a feeble attempt to make Veterans crazy and disarm them. Remember the Veterans are the Nations last line of defense. How is it that some mentally unstable Army Failure with 8 weeks of Basic training is badder than the Dallas Police force. Now consider the weapon and the continued claim of sniper. SKS, 7.62 x 39, more commonly refereed to as the pray and spray Just block that idiot ( Jo Peter) . I did and have not missed a single intelligent comment yet. There is no profit in the reading of useless and uninformed opinions. Just remember, Stormy, that nothing you read or see on da news is sincerely true with an eye toward honesty or a heart that values integrity. Before it was just disingenuous, now they are actively using propaganda and structured deceptions. This happens right before the end. Well, thank you, Pyra! I kinda like to take idiots on for a bit. There is a reason they are on sites like these. Some are bonafide trolls, others are fighting their own demons and part of them knows that they should be paying attention. Anyhoo, you should get to know me a bit better. I am not affected by DA NEWS, grins! I have my own foundation of tested, trusted information with which I filter everything. But to watch actors acting during a well publicised massacre, no bodies, no blood, confusion up the yingyang for how many shooters, other killers across the country that were connected and then watching these actorsIve found lots of entertainment when watching main stream. Can read between the lines. Love to hear others thoughts and keep checking my foundation for errors. Police are not monolithic in this country. In some jurisdictions they may be like that, but its not universal. Police corruption tends to mirror wider societal corruption (so yeah, police lie more often now, but so does everyone else.) What you are quoting is a Statute or Code which is not law ! It is FALSELY and incorrectly called a law. The supreme LAW of the Land is still the Constitution until further notice !! You should educate yourself on the Founding Documents instead of listening to the Lemmings and Parrots. ( or being one either ! ) You are giving statutes the equality of law and that is opposed to the Constitution. Laws are passed only by Congress not the Federal Government or any other body. A true American would not Murder without a trial and using a Bomb like that is NOT self-defense. 
1	GREEN BAY, WIAlthough star Packers quarterback Brett Favre has yet to actually announce whether he will play another season in the NFL, any decision he makes will be certain to disappoint football fans in some way. 'I don't know what he'll do, but it's a real shame either way about FavreI mean, on one hand, he's so well-loved, he's an almost-certain Hall of Famer, he's the prototypical gunslinger quarterback that you love to watch, and he's only 25 touchdown passes away from breaking Marino's all-time record,' Stoughton, WI bar owner and football fan Patrick Kettle said Tuesday following Favre's confession that he was leaning toward retirement. 'Then again, the Packers have to learn to get by without him someday, and the fans don't want to see him decline right before their eyes. Plus, come onhe's only 22 interceptions away from breaking George Blanda's all-time record.' Football fans nationwide say they intend to both celebrate their good fortune and mourn the end of an era no matter what Favre ultimately decides. 
3	#NoBWCPressBlackoutBy Janet Phelan However, the United States, which is one of the three depository countries for the BWC, is clearly violating the treaty and doing so with apparent intent to deploy. In 2011, I traveled to Geneva and participated in the Biological Weapons Convention. My intention at that time was to blow the whistle on the USs illegal biological weapons program. The evidence is popping up wherever you lookchanges in domestic legislation to give the US immunity from violating its own bioweapons laws, stockpiles at Dugway Proving Grounds and possibly elsewhere, a domestic delivery system covertly in place and failure by the US to inform the Convention at large of any of these developments. Just recently, the national press reported that Dugway Proving Grounds was caught sending live anthrax through the mail to over 90 labs in countries, worldwide. What does that tell you? What I did not expect in 2011, however, was a press blackout concerning my presentation. It is five years later and I have again registered for the upcoming Review Conference and plan to participate in the BWC this November. I have anticipated a possible press blackout and have made arrangements to ensure that will not happen again. The USs illegal biological weapons program is putting the entire globe at risk. It is my understanding that the US has developed a pandemic agent and intends to use it on selected US nationals, with deadly intent. The delivery technology and pandemic agent may also have been shared with US allies. As deployment appears to be keyed to events taking place in the Middle East, it is my perception that time may be short. I am asking you to help me to get to Geneva next month.

2	Russia Launches Absurd Social Media Campaign Attack On Obama... Hes Furious Just after President Obama announced that the Russian hacks would result in the expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats and the closure of two Republican embassies in the United States, he quickly became the target of a degrading social media attack by Russia. The Russians compared Obama to an animals, specifically a monkey, and it went viral. In one, President Obama is shown asking Putin, How do we make you scared of our sanctions? Putin responds, No way. Do you want a banana? In another image, Obama was edited to include makeup, earrings and a rainbow flag pinginsinuating that he is gay. Of course, liberals are outraged at the attacks on our leaderand we can all agree its an embarrassment for our country. But it is a hilarious wakeup call for the Presidentdid he think he was going to impose sanctions without consequences? What do you think? Are you ready for Trump to be in the White House? 
2	Brad Paisley Was Told Not To Praise Jesus In Public, So He Does THIS Instead Brad Paisley is an American country star, known for releasing 10 studio albums and being an award-winning singer-songwriter. Hes also known for taking a controversial stand to support his faith in God, often raising the eyebrows of liberals who would prefer he leave Jesus out of his music. Still, one of his most famous songs Me and Jesus does just the opposite of that. And me and Jesus got our own thing going Brad also discusses liberal attempts for censorship in his song This is Country Music. Youre not supposed to say the world cancer in a song What do you think of Paisleys music? Do you support him in his stand for Christianity and American values? 
3	L.A. Proposes to Scan ALL Cars, Send Letter of Shame For Driving Through a Prostitution AreaBy Matt Agorist As an ostensible means of deterring prostitution, Nury Martinez of the L.A. city council wants to scan every single license plate, make a list, and mail out a shame letter to every person who drives through an arbitrary area deemed a prostitution zone. You read that right. For merely driving through a designated area, Martinez proposes publicly shaming any and every motorist by scanning their license plate. Martinez told CBS Los Angeles, If you arent soliciting, you have no reason to worry about finding one of these letters in your mailbox. But if you are, these letters will discourage you from returning. Soliciting for sex in our neighborhoods is not OK. The idea is so Orwellian, so fascist even, that the police themselves have deemed it unconstitutional. Law enforcement technologist, and working police detective, Nick Selby writes, This scheme makes, literally, a state issue out of legal travel to arbitrary places deemed by somebut not by a court, and without due processto be related to crime in general, not to any specific crime. There isnt potential for abuse here, this is a legislated abuse of technology that is already controversial when its used by police for the purpose of seeking stolen vehicles, tracking down fugitives and solving specific crimes. The process would automate reasonable suspicion, by arbitrarily deeming EVERYONE a John. As Selby points out, Guilt by association would be a higher standard. To make matters even worse, all the data collected in the process would be a matter of public record under the Freedom of Information Act. Anyone could walk down to the city council, request a report and publish a list of those who got the letter due process and actual guilt be damned. Aside from the public shaming of completely innocent individuals, the domestic problems it would create, have an equally ominous potential. Imagine a married couple whose already rocky relationship is under repair getting one of these letters. The wifes first thought would most likely not be, well he must just be a victim of automated reasonable suspicion. In his article for Medium, Selby concludes, Far from serving as, in the words of one proponent, a private wake-up call, these letters will surely be the basis of insurance, medical, employment and other decisions, and such a list can be re-sold to public records companies, advertising mailing list companies To paraphrase @MosheYudkowsky, there would be a chilling effect on commerce in the highlighted area, because who in their right mind would do business at any company located in that area? The list of unintended consequences is long. This wrong-headed law has, out of the gate, a chilling effect on association and transport. No non-fascist state should ever allow this to happen.

Its this attitude that our tax dollars grow on trees that kills critical thinking in our politicians they dont like the public entering their red light space.

Start filming every city vehicle that stops in that area, and immediately post video on Youtube. maybe if this council member could control her neighborhoods this wouldnt be a problem 
3	7 million Americans flat out refuse to pay back student loansByLori Harfenist Aahhhhh ha! They dont have too!!! Student Loans are Indorsed in Blank and Are Uncollectable According to the Federal Register, student loans are securitized which means that student loans were sold or are pooled with other student loans endorsed into a trust. These trusts are called asset backed securities. Just like the homeowners who have been bamboozledits nothing but a scam. Legal instruments authenticate ownership and outlined rights of both buyer and seller, but when banks resort to fabrication and forgery to create the illusion of ownership the entire system breaks down.We recognize the long history and complex nature of the act of corruption, bribery, and fraud in government and among corporations. Corruption destroys the economy, faith in government and an individuals freedom and right to due process. sounds like the CDOs that blew up AIG in 2008 Thank you for this info. My loan was sold several times and one company tacked on $43,000 the original debt was only $16,000. With 8% interest (which you cant change) that $16,000 is now $117,000. Now Im 61 and will never be able to repay it. Refused? Haha! More like broke and incapable of paying! Lets go magical economy that works with no production or productivity! Idiots, no one FORCED them go to college.everyone loves free money until the bill is due. Cry me a river morons. The ironic thing is government got them into debt, by allowing everyone loans, now these pansies, want the same government to give them a solution. I got news for you fools, you wont like what they come up with. Why would you ask the same people who created the problem, to come up with a solution? Its like asking a rapist to do it all over again. LOL While it certainly is the individuals responsibility, what kind of nation, society, whatever, allows its weak to be preyed upon, by its strongest and expects to survive? There is a growing list of countries whove tried this, most of them no longer exist. Given the current situation, America may be added to that list soon. The government is not legitimate but you still signed the loans, asking for more hand outs from the government is not the right answer. People are so short sighted and ignorant. Im not asking for a thing personally, wouldnt attend college with bill gates money, just my preference. Still seeing as how it requires the participation of people in order for society to work correctly, I figure society wont last long. Should be fun seeing a new regime of either Mexican, Russian, Chinese, and or Canadian descent be implemented in America.. Seeing as how Americans problems are not Americans problems At least judging by your statement. Wrong..The current culture in the USA until recently when the naive became wise to the fact that the required College Degree was necessary to obtain a decent paying jobbut now it is a fallacy because there are no college jobs to be had for Americans only foreign workers. Thanks to this administration and the Democrat Party and the traitors in Corporate America who are hiring the illegal and the foreigner.However, before you gloat some more, you may find that your turn is next.The Democrats will not stop until every American is groveling on their knees for crumbs and that includes the trades. Why do you suppose the government has become our worst enemy taking from American citizens and giving to a new brand of migrants? Why do you think a country would do this to those who made the country great.who fought and died for the country and who paid taxes all their lives so that we could be FREE?????? You had better get off the couch and start PAYING ATTENTION! And youre the same idiots who will be blaming them for not going to college when they cant find a job Republicans spew nothing but empty shame. Where did all the corporate America jobs go? Yup! China, Turkey, Indonesia, India.just to name a few! Sound like the New World Order/globalization? If you say, Yes! you are paying attention! ONLY BUY MADE IN AMERICA FOR NOW UNTIL ONLY THE ILLEGALS AND FOREIGNERS ARE WORKING AND ALL AMERICANS ARE ON THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE. Boycott those companies that sent their manufacturing abroadCHECK THE LABELS!!!!! Help save this country before you find yourself drowning in Communism! Drowning in communism? Im pretty sure our jobs went to China because its more profitable for capitalism. And where do we buy made in American goods? NOTHING is made here anymore Take the time to read the labels. Online search will help you find articles made in USA. Then, there is a site called, Made in the USA that you can check out. Hillary Clinton is for globalization and open borders besides the killing of innocent babies int heir mothers womb..so.vote for Trump who says that he will bring the jobs back here. So that means trump will bring his shoe line back from China? Lol. Dont count on it. American wages are too high his words. Hes nuts. Good for them, now if everyone will stop filling income tax, we might be able to get our constitution back. Best advice I have heard all daystop funding the criminals who are wolves in sheeps clothing. And Ive seen an article where their talking about debters jail coming, when it comes to those.hope they can fit 7 million people in there. I thought we got rid of those in the 1700s? Are we seriously going back to medieval serfdom? Were being set up for an inflationary depression, so its going the opposite way as far as debt goes. Thats why the US federal student loan system has re-tooled to drastically lower student loan payments and find ways to discharge loan debt outright. The Catholic pope (the Vatican is NWO) called for a world wide debt debt jubilee (wiping out all debts) a little over a year ago and now the Obama administration and the banking elites are saying we need more inflation and both want to see entitlement payouts (welfare, social security, etc.) substantially increase. The government can take some federal benefit payments (including Social Security retirement benefits and Social Security disability benefits, but not Supplemental Security Income) as reimbursement for student loans. The government cannot take any amount that would leave you with benefits less than $9,000 per year or $750 per month. And, it cannot take more than 15% of your total benefit. The government and private lenders can sue you to collect defaulted student loans. Unlike other debts, there is no time limit on suing to collect student loans you can be sued indefinitely. You cant pay with what you dont have. Period. Cant get blood out of a stone! Lets all stop paying taxes, of course there will be no more money for food stamps, free housing. Good for them? Anyone that thinks what they are doing is the right thing to do is nuts. These people had no problem signing up for the loans and taking the money. There is NO GUARANTEES in life. There are no guarantees that just because you go to college you are going to get a good job. Instead of taking the hand out you should have worked your way through college like most of us did many years ago. The reason college is so expensive is BECAUSE of these loans. Colleges can charge whatever they want because they know the government is going to pay the rate. STOP all college loan programs, work for your college education and you will see the tuition rates plummet. Back before the federal government was invoked college everywhere was very affordable. So suck it you little whiners. Pay back your debt or get your wages attached for non-payment just like the rest of you. Fraud is the reason. Anyone can setup a degree mill, even run one out of the truck of their car. Govt approves any and all without vetting. High schoolers usually have no problem taking out a $30k loan, especially when their school counselors, parents, teachers, etc. tell them that its their only chance for success in life, and that they should do it even if they havent picked a major. How many real adults would take out a $30k loan for school before picking a major? Kids will get the loans if theyre able to. Like you said, colleges will charge whatever knowing that the govt will pay the rate. Sounds like the recipe for a great scam. Get out of your ivory tower and get real, Ms Bracken. Wake up to reality. Correction: Student loan programs are under the control of Lynn Blodgett et al who is the hired head of the international cabal that is in control of nearly every part of the USA and government now from local to federal since the COUP OF 2002 when Congress defunded any budget for internal audits or criminal investigations of government contractors as the SEC was also defunded from unraveling a maze of shell companies and illegal secret deal partnerships that got the contracts as all levels of government began to near totally contract out the real government.leaving those in the government with no authority to act. Then Congress gave themselves a self imposed unconstitutional gag rule to not mention, contact or ask one to testify and most never knew they voted in the COUP of 2002 and most now have no idea that the info they get from the real govt to base lass on is only what the cabal wishes them to know as nothing van be verified. This cabal illegally will say they are the government agency or employee and are not, as the real government still is audited and can be arrested for criminal acts. Massive thefts, deaths, and loss of rights and livelihoods has and is going on and CONGRESS REFUSES TO ACT. THIS IS WHAT THE CAMPAIGN IS ALL ABOUT, THEY JUST WORD IT DIFFERENTLY. Linda Joy Adams The univ. do scam them. I spent 18 years working at one and put my daughter thru all four years. They still tried to charge a higher rate.Her and her husband both could not find jobs after graduation in there chosen field. Judging by your poor command of the language, you didnt actually attend the university, you just worked there. You need to go back and practice more Judging by your poor command of the language, you didnt actually attend the university, you just worked there.

The loans from my school loans are transferred from bank to bank to bank have increased the interest so that no one paying the nominal amount will ever get their loans paid back. This was by design. I believe in paying back debts no matter how stupid the lender be! But, 30 years later, I found I was relinquished from my loan balance (600 bucks left a decade ago) because I was disabled. I didnt know about the disability stuff and with only 600 left I KNOW they knew exactly what they were doing. They now owe ME thousands back and hello? Have I heard a word? So lame. One way street, and the lenders or those that have purchased these loans over and over again are standing on eggshells. One only is accountable to the institution they originally signed contracts with in theory. Not collection agencies or other institutions that purchased these school loans. Few understand this but even so these superficial lenders can make one miserable. Everywhere is a bit different, circumstances are a bit different but to stop paying on school loans (very specific description) is not a good idea! If one goes bankrupt, school loans are exempt. Talk with an accountant, preferably one that is not federal, statejust private. Heres a handy tip: if you pay $5 per month, that will keep you from defaulting and trust me, you dont want to default, they really nail you then. Voice of experience here. I was told this by one of the companies which my debt was sold to on the QT by an employee who felt sorry for those with student loans. Buyer remorse i not paying mine either These are 7 million idiots who graduated with useless degrees. Liberals arts, gay studies, cultural awareness garbage.. all essentially nothing you can get a job in. No, they should not be let off the hook. Those are our tax dollars. Chase them down to the ends of the Earth. Otherwise, theyll keep afloat this idea theres that free lunch in society. Reminds me of that line from the movie Tombstone when Ringo says in Latin Eventis sultorum magister, which translates to experience is the teacher of fools. A bit harsh, but some of it applies Hey moron, not every one who has student loans, majored in liberal arts. If their degree wasnt worthless, theyd be able to find work and repay the money they borrowed. Welcome to reality. That isnt how reality works Unless it is your own twisted reality you are thinking of since you have no practical experience with other loans and what exactly they were for. Since I have no practical experience? I paid off my car loan and am paying off my mortgage. I entered those contracts on my own free will and fully expect to complete them. If I borrow money, Im expected to and expect to pay it back. So, what was your statement all about? Why should they repay the debt when the US has the petrodollar, just print what you need. LOL, thats what comes down to.for now, anyway. And the band played on The degree is worthless, it is not real knowledge only re hashed crap, besides they will be no jobs for them anyway. Yet if they were given real knowledge which would help change to world for the better. The world has been dumbed down so much over the years, that we now have most of society, acting like drones. Real knowledge is power, power to free your selves from misery but they dont want you to be free, they want you in debt from birth to death. The evil system has to be destroyed and the quicker the better and all of those who are a part of it, Yes good for them the mindless governments cant provide a proper knowledge based system for their people, yet it can find billions to fund Terror and mindless wars. Every one should leave the country and go to Russia or live in China or India as these are countries that are advancing so fast I am sure they would find a good opportunity. I myself for the past 4 years have been stuck in a back ward western country where all my dreams have been destroyed. But I will not give up hope here the country is being taken over by China and it serves them right as they have got what they deserve I just hope I am out of the county when the whites are kicked out. Im one of these 7 million, and Im fine. I took out a loan 10 years ago, and aside from a tax return getting garnished I havent paid a penny. Its forced me to work as a contractor and pay taxes via 1099s, since my tax returns and wages would be garnished. But working as a contractor has turned out to be great, I love the lifestyle. My choices have been a much better alternative than paying back the loan. So many of my peers are struggling and stressing over it. Ive been able to travel and live my life freely, and had I been paying off the loan I wouldve been stuck worrying about it. If youre considering not paying it back great. Learn a trade (or learn to code) and make your own money. Live your own life. Forget about the bullshit. Adults shouldnt be talking high schoolers into taking out loans. The next economic bubble to explode. No worries, via Congress and El Capitan Obama, we, the indentured serfs, will pay the bill. Bailoutits what you do when your boat sinks. Good luck with not paying that back. When the government took over the student loans from banks which all the students largely cheered it became the purview of the IRS. That taskmaster; the one who will hound you forever, plus attach your wages. So these kids think the Government/University scammed them yet they want more socialism. Arrest every one of them. Total lack of personal responsibility. That signature on the loan papers means your well aware of the repayment due. Scum, low life scum. student loan debt does not fall under the fair debt collection act.so you can not include it in any form of bankruptcyif you have a job (over the table) or a bank account YOU WILL BE GARNISHED periodno exceptions including being on disability or S.S. In 2008, I researched Barack Hussein Obama and found that he is a Communist, an atheist, sympathetic towards Islam, a homosexual with a made up story of a marriage to Michelle who is a transgender by the name of Michael and the children are adopted and there are no records of his birth in the USA..Still even though I sent this out to many asking them to forward the info onThey still voted for the fraud. WE GET WHAT WE DESERVE AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE GOING TO GET WORSE IF THE SAME IGNORANT PEOPLE GO TO THE POLLS REPEATING THE SAME MISTAKES OVER AND OVER AGAIN. God, if you are still in love with us and are watching, please help us! My advice to all you deceived Americans who struggled through College and Graduate studies which was required for a decent job and find that there are NO JOBS, DONT PAY THE TAB The bankers will get another bail out and those working will pay the tab! WELCOME TO THE NEW AMERICA, FOREIGNERS! Dont fret hillarys gonna make education free, Since they cannot get us to work until retirement, then just die within the year, they promise us better jobs if we just take out loans and go to college. Then they garnish our wages when we cannot pay them all quickly enough. They give a lot of opportunity for deferments and forbearance just to rack up more interest to take from us. The entire state college system has become a bank scam. They werent even paying for College they were paying for the 5 Star Living Accommodations.. the Swimming Pools, Tennis Courts, Beer Pong, Orgies et al. A College Degree is no longer a Diploma. its just Receipt!!! Your sorry asss owes the REAL AMERICAN WORKERS/TAX PAYERS X Amount of Dollars for paying for your 4/6/8 Year Vacation and Spending Spree!!! 
3	McCain and Graham say US-Russia agreement on Syria meaningless, rebels need more weaponsMadison Ruppert This comes soon after it was yet again reported that the U.S. is sending weapons, vehicles and other critical equipment to opposition fighters in Syria. While McCain and Graham think the agreement gives Syrian President Bashar al-Assad too much leeway, President Barack Obama himself said that the military option will be taken if diplomatic efforts fail. In their joint statement issued Saturday, McCain and Graham draw some quite interesting conclusions from the U.S.-Russian agreement, including the claim that it sends the wrong signal to Iran. What concerns us most is that our friends and enemies will take the same lessons from this agreement: They see it as an act of provocative weakness on Americas part, they said, according to the Associated Press. We cannot imagine a worse signal to send to Iran as it continues its push for a nuclear weapon. In reality, even former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta admitted Iran was not developing a nuclear weapon in January 2012. Similarly, U.S. intelligence agencies said in 2012 that there was no evidence to support the claims about an Iranian nuclear weapons program. Even the Israeli military chief confirmed that Iran had not decided to build a nuclear weapon in 2012. In May, McCain reportedly entered Syria without permission to meet with rebels and in the past Graham has called for an American invasion of Syria if necessary to secure chemical weapons. The only way this underlying conflict can be brought to a decent end is by significantly increasing our support to moderate opposition forces in Syria, Saturdays statement from the senators said. We must strengthen their ability to degrade Assads military advantage, change the momentum on the battlefield, and thereby create real conditions for a negotiated end to the conflict. Perhaps the oddest part of the statement is the mention of Saddam Hussein, the deceased former leader of Iraq who in 2003 still possessed large stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction, according to the U.S. and UK. The U.S. also claimed that Hussein was secretly producing and procuring more WMDs, when in reality he abandoned WMD programs long before the US invaded the country based on an intelligence failure. A 2008 Senate Intelligence Committee report determined that the Bush administration was guilty of misrepresent[ing] the intelligence and the threat from Iraq on numerous occasions. Why McCain and Graham would try to bring Hussein into the mix is unclear. Without a U.N. Security Council Resolution under Chapter 7 authority, which threatens the use of force for non-compliance by the Assad regime, this framework agreement is meaningless, the senators said in the statement. Assad will use the months and months afforded to him to delay and deceive the world using every trick in Saddam Husseins playbook. It requires a willful suspension of disbelief to see this agreement as anything other than the start of a diplomatic blind alley, and the Obama Administration is being led into it by Bashar Assad and [Russian President] Vladimir Putin, they said.

1	BELMONT, MAEscalating over the course of 20 minutes from a restrained discussion with a coworker to a heated confrontation between multiple members of his management team, the fantasized argument currently taking place in the mind of Digital Ventures, Inc. employee Jesse Newman is getting pretty intense, sources confirmed today. Youre talking to me about incompetence? Me? Newman said in his mind while furrowing his brow and letting the entirely fictitious dispute go to an increasingly frank and emotionally charged place. Mark, no one in this room agrees with you. Why? Because they dont respect you. And they never have. And if you honestly believe that what you do around here is in any way vital, or important, or irreplaceable, then you are out of your mind. Absolutely out of your mind. Noyou made it personal by insinuating that I wasnt up to the task. At press time, a blood vessel was just becoming visible on Newmans temple. 
3	Staged March Against Fear in Brussels Canceled Due to ... Security FEARSBy Bernie Suarez The irony of seeing the march against fear canceled by fear itself only goes to show that there is nothing genuine and organic about this effort. It also shows us that the state, not the people, is controlling these events. The organisers of a March Against Fear planned for Sunday to mark the Brussels terror attacks said they had cancelled the event after the authorities asked them to do so because of security fears. We understand this request. The security of our citizens is an absolute priority. We join the authorities in proposing a delay and ask people not to come this Sunday, the organisers said in a statement on Saturday. The authorities earlier asked for the march to be put off, perhaps for several weeks, to allow the police to concentrate their resources on the investigation into the attacks which left 31 dead and 300 wounded. They (the authorities in Belgium no doubt under control of the West and NATO) are sending clear deceptive messages to the people; here are three of them: The contrary is true. Courage and true fearlessness is not dependent on police completing their fake terrorism investigation. All of this is behavior based on fear; the fear of dying and the fear of being a victim of terrorism. And perpetuation of this fear gives the state the power it needs to control the individual. It is well known that with humans fear is a paralyzing force and fear breeds fear. But make no mistake, hidden in all of this propaganda is the states need to keep everyone in fear in order to keep the illusion of the war on terror going. Thats what this story is all about. Its about pushing more fear and keeping the recent terrorism in the minds of the masses. When interviewed, the organizers talked about everything except Truth: This week, we, Belgian citizens have been attacked, in how we live, our customs, our rights, our liberty, they said. The first reaction in such events is to withdraw but on reflection, fear must give way to hope and the defence of our values. Not a word about actual Truth, no one is wondering how ISIS came into existence. Remember that it wasnt very long ago when ISIS was not even in our vocabulary. ISIS is still a brand new entity born into the minds of the public in a period after the war on terror was essentially over with. Why arent these organizers asking the critical questions like how is the war on terror still going? Who funded ISIS? How did the explosives get into the airport and subway? Why didnt anyone see or report this? What about video surveillance cameras? Why were all of the terrorists known to the government and known to be dangerous terrorists yet were free to do what they wanted and were not quickly identified? How is it that ISIS never runs out of ammunition and explosives even when they are being defeated and running out of supplies on the Turkey-Syria border? How do ISIS fighters evade all Intelligence and surveillance after being in their custody and being subjects of their investigation? The real questions go on and on. Instead, these organizers, like obedient sheep playing along with the Pentagons and NATOs terrorism script, accept the story as-is and they even bowed out of the march saying theyll wait for the police to tell them when its safe to do a march against fear. Apparently when the authorities tell the organizers that its safe to not be afraid of terrorism, then they will not be afraid and they will march against fear. When the authorities tell them to be afraid, then they will once again be afraid and obedient to this command. This is yet another blueprint for the new world order that everyone is being conditioned to. Can anyone imagine anti-war activists in the 1960s waiting for government permission to march? Thats what this is all about. You march for causes only when told to do so. And the people shall obey. If you agree with this message please share. 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.

I love the feeling of fear lol! Its exciting and quite motivating in my own experience. Im not scared at all; there is a difference. Fear can be a useful tool if kept under control. However, I do worry about my kids? This is the Euro-Zone version of Shelter In Place. If you are asked, what is more ancient than gods ? It is fear and hope.- Pythagoras Robert Higgs in 2005 : Sooner or later, therefore, every government augments the power of its sword with the power of its priesthood, forging an iron union of throne and altar. In olden times, not uncommonly, the rulers were themselves declared to be gods the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt made this claim for many centuries. Now the subjects can be brought to fear not only by the rulers superior force, but also by his supernatural powers. Moreover, if people believe in an afterlife, where the pain and sorrows of this life may be sloughed off, the priests hold a privileged position in prescribing the sort of behavior in the here and now that best serves ones interest in securing a blessed situation in the life to come. Naturally, the warriors and the priests, if not one and the same, almost invariably come to be cooperating parties in the apparatus of rule. In medieval Europe, for example, a barons younger brother might look forward to becoming a bishop. Thus, the warrior element of government puts the people in fear for their lives, and the priestly element puts them in fear for their eternal souls. These two fears compose a powerful compound sufficient to prop up governments everywhere on earth for several millennia. ZATLY! Very well stated! Gee Croc, AWESOME POST! Just a short quote from a Robert Higgs article. This is crap journalism where are the sources? Wheres the grammar? Over here in Europe, when the bullets and bombs start going off, weve more concerned with survival and self-defence than silly theories about false flags. Why dont you tell me how all those IRA bombs in London were a false flag, eh? Guess what? Some flags are real! Stupid. You do not represent the people of Europe, whose suppression is headed in the direction of Germany in the 1930s. Owners of news media, who support dictator Merkel and her partner in crime, Erdogan, also suppress journalists who attempt to publish accurate information. Who are you? Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear. Mark Twain Former USGov Psyops officer, Scott Bennett provides an overview of how the soldiers of fortune, Blackwater-type mercenaries, are paid and controlled. http://armypsyop.wix.com/scottbennett#!my-story/cf5l Very interesting. I wonder what the people involved are threatening Fox news with for withholding this info? good essay here by Corco Dile and a important point. Fear of death is really fear of the unknown, every creature and plant on this earth dies. Great post, Greg. I know my fate and will leave this world on my terms I think this is some of Bernies best work yet. If Europeans were not losing their nations, this would be funny. Its not and they will lose their nations. The UN and EU commie elites are the ones to be worried about, those that are the Puppet Masters of the World. Begin with Georgie Soros and follow the money. I believe that FDR said We have nothing to fear but fear itself. Fear is a great friend once you master it Yup, you confirmed it, you are the enemy. Yup John, I expect you have a lot of enemies, dont you? Hope you find a way out of the paranoia and fear, friend. Thanx floydy opz

'They just got set up with Susan, so now they're hanging out, getting a feel for what she likes to eat and when,' Dr. Matthew Hyam said. 'Soon, they'll jibe with Susan's taste for Indian food and come to expect her late-night Chunky Monkey binges, but for now, they're just gorging themselves while they learn what makes their new host tick.' Hyam explained that the parasites may need a 10-week 'getting to know Susan' period before beginning to release their full capacity of 50,000 eggs per day into her small intestine. 
3	Hillary Clintons War Record - 100% For GenocideBy Brandon Turbeville In addition to her history regarding the Syrian and Libyan crises, it should never be forgotten that Hillary Clinton has supported virtually every military conflict launched during and since her husbands own disastrous tenure as President. Remember, in 2002-2003, Hillary Clinton not only supported the push for war in Iraq, she voted for the invasion. In fact, she was fervent in her support for the war, delivering impassioned speeches on the Senate floor in order to convince members of Congress who might have been on the fence, as well as the general American population and a handful of Democrats and liberals who valued her opinion on the topic, that war was the right choice. Indeed, Hillarys speech promoting war in Iraq rivaled only George W. Bush who was campaigning night and day on American television. Hillary stated on the floor of the Senate: I believe the facts that have brought us to this fateful vote are not in doubt. Saddam Hussein is a tyrant who has tortured and killed his own people, even his own family members, to maintain his iron grip on power. He used chemical weapons on Iraqi Kurds and on Iranians, killing over 20,000 people.[1] Clinton then began to detail not only why she believed the United States should begin its invasion, but also insinuated that the operation, if the first Gulf war was anything to go by, would not result in a long drawn out conflict but a war more like the first. Although Clinton did not state this directly, the implication was that it was time go in and finish the job. It was also insinuated that much of the work was already done.[2] In 1991, Saddam Hussein invaded and occupied Kuwait, losing the support of the United States. The first President Bush assembled a global coalition, including many Arab states, and threw Saddam out after 43 days of bombing and a hundred hours of ground operations, she said.[3] Clinton stated that, after the first Gulf war, the United Nations imposed a number of requirements on Iraq, among them disarmament of all weapons of mass destruction, stocks used to make such weapons, and laboratories necessary to do the work.[4] She then rushed to point out that international community (everyone) knew that Saddam did have weapons of mass destruction. She stated that The [U.N.] inspectors found and destroyed far more weapons of mass destruction capability than were destroyed in the Gulf War, including thousands of chemical weapons, large volumes of chemical and biological stocks, a number of missiles and warheads, a major lab equipped to produce anthrax and other bioweapons, as well as substantial nuclear facilities.[5] As the Washington Times stated, She expressed support for her husbands decision in 1998 to push for regime change, and ripped the U.N. for putting limits on its inspections. And she went on and on about Saddams WMD stockpile, saying he held so many secret sites that were huge compounds well-suited to hold weapons labs, stocks.[6] Clinton then went for broke by declaring that Hussein was on his way to developing a nuclear weapon that he would then use to destroy the Middle East and even the United States. She stated that Saddam, left unchecked will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security.[7] Although Clinton now attempts to brush off her treasonous assistance to drum up an illegal and immoral war in Iraq as a mistake, the truth is that anyone with any political judgement knew that the war itself was the mistake. While she also attempts to blame the faulty intelligence of the Bush administration, it was Hillary Clinton herself who once referred to the intelligence as undisputed. [8] Clinton was also an avid supporter of an Afghanistan surge that was conducted by Obama during his first year in office. In fact she argued for an even greater surge and suggested that leaving too early would signal we were abandoning Afghanistan.[9] Interestingly enough, Clinton opposed the Bush surge in Iraq in 2007, voting against the plan during her tenure in the Senate.[10] This vote marks virtually the only Clinton vote that was opposed to greater use of the US military. However, it was later revealed that her opposition vote was nothing more than political grandstanding due to the fact that the Democratic Primaries were right around the corner. In fact, this much was revealed by former Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates who wrote that he witnessed Clinton tell Barack Obama that she had opposed George W. Bushs last-ditch effort to salvage the Iraq war, the 2007 troop surge, because the politics of the 2008 Democratic primaries demanded it.[11] This cynical political maneuvering reveals two things: 1.) That Clinton truly supported increasing the number of US forces in Iraq and 2.) Clinton was willing to sacrifice the lives of American service men and women, the financial future of the country, and the countless lives of innocent people on the line for even a minor political strategic position. Still, Clinton was a staunch supporter of the war in Afghanistan, yet another in a long list of Clinton-supported wars based on lies, half-truths, and deceit. After all, despite the numerous facts and inconsistencies disproving the official story of 9/11, U.S. intelligence and military connections to al-Qaeda (which Clinton was well aware of), and the known pre-concert to go to war with Afghanistan prior to 9/11, Clinton was an avid supporter of the authorization to use military force in Afghanistan. Clinton even went so far as to bring in the gender issue a tactic which she is famous for. Clinton argued that an invasion would not only be a way to fight terrorism, but it would be a way to improve the lives and condition of women who suffered under Taliban leadership.[12] Thus, when it came time for an even more brazen war campaign based on lies and machinations of the ruling administration and its media mouthpieces, Clinton was on board again. Voting for the 2002 Iraq War Resolution, Clinton vociferously promoted the cause for war and, once that war had taken place, she argued against leaving too soon.[13] Even on the question of Iran, Clinton has not only pushed the nonsensical line that Iran was developing nuclear weapons and presents a major threat to the world (meaning the United States and Israel) but she also suggested military action against the Persian nation.[14] As Steve Chapman for Reason.com writes, Anyone who thinks the only thing worse than a nuclear-armed Iran is a war with Iran will find no friend in Clinton. Going back to 2007, she has stressed the option of launching airstrikes to keep Tehran from getting the bomb. Like most in her camp, she acts as though a pre-emptive attack would be quick and easyinstead of being the opening round of a war that would not stick to her script any more than Iraq stuck to Bushs.[15] Michael Crowley of TIME writes, Clinton brought a hard-line background to the topic of Iran. In April 2008 she warned that the U.S. could totally obliterate[16] Iran in retaliation for a nuclear attack on Israelprompting Obama to chastise her for using language thats reflective of George Bush. Indeed, Clintons statements would (and probably did) make war-obsessed psychopaths like Lindsey Graham gleam with pride. In 2008, she stated to Good Morning America, I want the Iranians to know that if Im the president, we will attack Iran (if it attacks Israel). In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them. Thats a terrible thing to say but those people who run Iran need to understand that because that perhaps will deter them from doing something that would be reckless, foolish and tragic.[18] In an interview with Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic, she stated brashly, Ive always been in the camp that held that they did not have a right to enrichment. Contrary to their claim, there is no such thing as a right to enrich. This is absolutely unfounded. There is no such right. I am well aware that I am not at the negotiating table anymore, but I think its important to send a signal to everybody who is there that there cannot be a deal unless there is a clear set of restrictions on Iran. The preference would be no enrichment. The potential fallback position would be such little enrichment that they could not break out.[19] Of course, there is a right to enrich.[20] There is a right to enrich up to the levels that would indeed allow for the capability to create a nuclear weapon but stopping short of actually doing so. In other words, since Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, it is entitled all avenues of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, including uranium enrichment. Clintons warmongering does not end with the Middle East, however. Although not (at least officially) a policy maker herself during her husbands administration, it is no secret that Hillary was fully supportive of both Bill Clintons tragic bombing of Iraq as well as his war in Yugoslavia and Kosovo.[21] [22] As Gary Leupp wrote in his article The Warmongering Rhetoric of Hillary Clinton published by Counterpunch in February, 2015, *She has always been a warmonger. As First Lady from January 1993, she encouraged her husband Bill and his secretary of state Madeleine Albright to attack Serbian forces in the disintegrating Yugoslaviain Bosnia in 1994 and Serbia in 1999. Shes stated that in 1999 she phoned her husband from Africa. I urged him to bomb, she boasts. These Serbs were (as usual) forces that did not threaten the U.S. in any way. The complex conflicts and tussles over territory between ethnic groups in the Balkans, and the collapse of the Russian economy following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, gave Bill Clinton an excuse to posture as the worlds savior and to use NATO to impose order. Only the United States, he asserted, could restore order in Yugoslavia, which had been a proudly neutral country outside NATO and the Warsaw Pact throughout the Cold War. President Clinton and Albright also claimed that only NATOdesigned in 1949 to counter a supposed Soviet threat to Western Europe, but never yet deployed in battleshould deal with the Balkan crises. The Bosnian intervention resulted in the imposition of the Dayton Accord on the parties involved and the creation of the dysfunctional state of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Kosovo intervention five years later (justified by the scaremongering, subsequently disproven reports of a Serbian genocidal campaign against Kosovars) involved the NATO bombing of Belgrade and resulted in the dismemberment of Serbia. Kosovo, now recognized by the U.S. and many of its allies as an independent state, is the center of Europes heroin trafficking and the host of the U.S.s largest army base abroad. The Kosovo war, lacking UN support and following Albrights outrageous demand for Serbian acquiescencedesigned, as she gleefully conceded, to set the bar too high for Belgrade and Moscows acceptanceof NATO occupation of all of Serbia, was an extraordinary provocation to Serbias traditional ally Russia. They need some bombing, and thats what they are going to get, Albright said at the time, as NATO prepared to bomb a European capital for the first time since 1945.[23] Leupp also wrote about Clintons support for the horrific sanctions that resulted in the deaths of untold numbers of innocent Iraqis during her husbands tenure as President. He wrote, Initially applied to force Iraqi forces out of Kuwait, the sanctions were sustained at U.S. insistence (and over the protests of other Security Council members) up to and even beyond the U.S. invasion in 2003. Bill Clinton demanded their continuance, insisting that Saddam Husseins (non-existent) secret WMD programs justified them. In 1996, three years into the Clinton presidency, Albright was asked whether the death of half a million Iraq children as a result of the sanctions was justified, and famously replied in a television interview, We think it was worth it. Surely Hillary agreed with her friend and predecessor as the first woman secretary of state. She also endorsed the 1998 Operation Desert Fox (based on lies, most notably the charge that Iraq had expelled UN inspectors) designed to further destroy Iraqs military infrastructure and make future attacks even easier.[24] Webster Griffin Tarpley sums up Hillarys war record succinctly in his article Hillary Clinton: The International Neocon Warmonger, when he writes, As the National Journal reported in 2014, even the pathetically weak anti-war left is not ready to reconcile with Hillary given her warmongering as Secretary of State. And with good reason. Scratching just lightly beneath the surface of Hillary Clintons career reveals the empirical evidence of her historic support for aggressive interventions around the globe. Beginning with Africa, Hillary defended the 1998 cruise missile strike on the El Shifa pharmaceutical plant in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum, destroying the largest producer of cheap medications for treating malaria and tuberculosis and provided over 60% of available medicine in Sudan. In 2006 she supported sending United Nations troops to Darfur with logistical and technical support provided by NATO forces. Libyan leader Moammar Qaddafi was outspoken in his condemnation of this intervention, claiming it was not committed out of concern for Sudanese people but for oil and for the return of colonialism to the African continent. This is the same leader who was murdered in the aftermath of the 2011 NATO bombing of Libya; an attack promoted and facilitated with the eager support of Mrs. Clinton. In an infamous CBS news interview, said regarding this international crime: We came, we saw, he died. As Time magazine pointed out in 2011, the administration understood removing Qaddafi from power would allow the terrorist cells active in Libya to run rampant in the vacuum left behind. Just last month the New York Times reported that Libya has indeed become a terrorist safe haven and failed state conducive for exporting radicals through ratlines to the conflict against Assad in Syria. Hillary made prompt use of the ratlines for conflicts in the Middle East. In the summer of 2012, Clinton privately worked with then CIA director and subversive bonapartist David Petraeus on a proposal for providing arms and training to death squads to be used to topple Syria just as in Libya. This proposal was ultimately struck down by Obama, reported the New York Times in 2013, but constituted one of the earliest attempts at open military support for the Syrian death squads. Her voting record on intervening in Afghanistan and Iraq is well known and she also has consistently called for attacking Iran. She even told Fareed Zakaria the State Department was involved behind the scenes in Irans failed 2009 Green Revolution. More recently in Foreign Policy magazine David Rothkopf wrote on the subject of the Lausanne nuclear accord, predicting a snap-back in policy by the winner of the 2016 election to the foreign policy in place since the 1980s. The title of this article? Hillary Clinton is the Real Iran Snap-Back. This makes Hillary the prime suspect for a return to the madcap Iranian policies that routinely threaten the world with a World War 3 scenario. Hillary Clinton is not only actively aggressing against Africa and the Middle East. She was one of the loudest proponents against her husbands hesitancy over the bombing of Kosovo, telling Lucina Frank: I urged him to bomb, even if it was a unilateral action. While no Clinton spokesperson responded to a request by the Washington Free Beacon regarding her stance on Ukraine, in paid speeches she mentioned putting more financial support into the Ukrainian government. When Crimea decided to choose the Russian Federation over Poroshenkos proto-fascist rump state, Hillary anachronistically called President Putins actions like what Hitler did in the 30s. As a leader of the bumbled reset policy towards Russia, Hillary undoubtedly harbors some animus against Putin and will continue the destabilization project ongoing in Ukraine. Not content with engaging in debacles in Eastern Europe, she has vocally argued for a more aggressive response to what she called the rollback of democratic development and economic openness in parts of Latin America. This indicates her willingness to allow the continuation of CIA sponsored efforts at South American destabilization in the countries of Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Argentina and Brazil. It is one of the proud prerogatives of the Tax Wall Street Party to push out into the light the Wall Street and foundation-funded Democrats. The final blow to Hillarys clumsy faade comes directly from arch-neocon Robert Kagan. Kagan worked as a foreign policy advisor to Hillary along with his wife, Ukraine madwoman Victoria Nuland, during Hillarys term as Secretary of State. He claimed in the New York Times that his view of American foreign policy is best represented in the mainstream by the foreign policy of Hillary Clinton; a foreign policy he obviously manipulated or outright crafted. Kagan stated: If she pursues a policy which we think she will pursueits something that might have been called neocon, but clearly her supporters are not going to call it that; they are going to call it something else. What further reason could any sane person need to refute Hillary? A vote for Hillary is a vote for the irrational return to war.[25] Indeed, her support for war and military confrontation is perhaps the only thing Hillary Clinton is honest about.

Hillary and Mad Maddie Albright have a pile of dead Iraqi children bodies trailing after them, ten miles long.. Every sentient being in the galaxy knows shes a miscreant. She is indeed a most vile creature. Clinton, Obama, Bush, Reagan, all nothing but actors directed by the financial mafia to fool the masses. We have known criminals as leaders. Im sure the american people will think the progressive act of selecting a woman for president will magically correct all these issues just like we thought that of obama because he is black. The criminal cabal in government and big business sees our weakness and preys upon it, and we never disappoint even in the face of past failures. In closing, I cant help thinking of a quote from Einstein. I agree 100% Yep.. Sadly, you are right. Hmmm When it comes to war in the Middle East for Israel (the 1991 gulf war did not serve Israel because there was no regime change or total destruction of infrastructure throughout the country) Hillary and Bernie have been in lock step pretty all the way. I see that activist post cannot resist pushing the propaganda line that Bernie voted no in 2002 and therefore opposed the war. What utter nonsense. That vote was purely symbolic. Why? because a few months later Bernie voted to grant President Bush essentially unlimited power to wage war in the Middle East without Congressional approval. Bernie Sanders voted YES to war when it counted. And he continued to vote yes for war by approving just about every military appropriations bill which either expanded the military and/or supported war in the Middle East. Sanders is not only a hypocrite and a fraud with regard to war and the military industrial complex he continues to so faithfully support (think F35, Lockheed Martin etc.) But his claims of being a civil rights champion is also a sham. Apparently if you are Muslim, Particularly Palestinian, or until very recently a person of color, you didnt qualify for Bernies attention. And finally the notion that a man who has essentially done nothing but hold political office his entire life, including a quarter century in Congress is not a career politician or an Washington Insider is laughable. More to the point, is simply isnt true. He is just another professional politician posturing for the National media while busily talking out of both sides of his mouth. the CLINTON FOUNDATION-for-laundering-bribes-for-CLINTON-enrichment has collected over $400MILLION . TAKE ALL of it, all $400million is LAUNDERED BRIBE MONEY. EVERY PENNY.TAKE it, TAKE it and give it to Americas FOOD BANKS. Poor Women and Children need food NOW. The Clintons CLAIM the Fund is to help People HELP THEM RIGHT NOW! FEED THEM ! Seeing ALL that money immediately going to the POOR should fill the CLINTONS hearts with JOY and HAPPINESS. In Article IV of the NPT treaty it states: Nothing in this Treaty shall be interpreted as affecting the inalienable right of all the Parties to the Treaty to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without discrimination and in conformity with Articles I and II of this Treaty. Clinton claims that the right to enrichment is not mentioned and that only development and research are guaranteed, ignoring that there is no way to produce and use nuclear energy without enrichment. She knows this, and this makes her a cynical liar. She voted to invade Iraq with the 97% of Republicans and against the 58% of Democrats in Congress who voted against it. She believed Bushs lies. That alone disqualifies her for the Presidency. I am supporting Bernie, and if Clinton wins, I will vote for the Green Party of California, where Democrats win by millions. At this point even calling them Bushs lies is inaccurate. Clinton told the same lies using the same intel to justify Operation Desert Fox when he bombed Iraq in 1998 and nobody protested. Clinton withdrew inspectors and Scott Ritter revealed it was under false pretense. Saddam, at that time had no choice but to realize he could never please the US. War was inevitable after that, which is why Gore chose Lieberman as his running mate. I hope no one is stupid enough to say I am blaming Clinton pointing out that Clinton and Bush are guilty of the same crimes is hardly blaming Clinton. But the fact remains that anyone can see Bush was just a symptom of a larger evil neocon/neoliberal agenda that the Clintons are just as much a part of. Bush and Clinton both repeated the lies of a powermad globalist elite. It was Bushs lies, for which he said he said he had solid evidence(tho he knew the intelligence agencies disputed this claim),which led to war authorization and an attack which has killed one million,mostly civilians. Clinton was not President at this time. There were widespread protests against Operation Desert Fox. Also, not a million but at most thousands according to the Iraqis in an operation which lasted 4 days, not 10 years. I also condemn Clinton for his economic sanctions which resulted in the deaths of 500,000 children. But the criminal invasion of 2003, which has killed nearly a million civilians, was a Republican war (58% of Dems voted against; 97% of Repubs for), justified by the lies about solid evidence of WMD and links to al Quada, promoted by Bush,Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld,and Powell. It was Bushs war,one for he could not wait for the UN weapons inspection team to complete its investigations (it asked for 1 or 2 months,with zero evidence of WMD) and which,lacking UN approval, was called by the head of the UN an illegal war. It was a criminal war based on lies promoted by the Bush administration. Those Democrats who believed the lies and voted against their own party (Clinton, Kerry, Feinstein) should be denounced and rejected by all parties along with the 97% of Republicans who promoted the lies which led to a slaughter of a Hitlerian scale. To denounce Clinton for his crimes is not to excuse Bush for lying to the public,Congress,and the world about solid evidence of Iraqi WMD and links to 9/11. This was Bushs war,a war he wanted and was willing to lie top justify. Thats a simple fact. The criminals who have stolen power got your number. All designed to divide and conquer. Vote on war authorization in 2003: The claim that voting for war and against war is a false paradigm is idiotic. I am not a Republican or Democrat but support progressive values and policies. The easiest way to divide conquer is to suppress citizen participation. Oppositon to war and oligarchy will use all means available from marches to voting,etc. Bushs war was supported by a majority of Repubs and a minority of Dems. Your denial and cynicism only benefit the hawks. Hillary has gotten a pass on this highly important issue. One thatto mein and of itself disqualifies her to continue her career and put a capstone on her resume with the presidency. Her canned response now to references to her support of the illegal invasion of Iraq is toalmost impatientlyremind the questioner that I said it was a mistake. Not so much that it was a mistakeand a huge, expensive, deadly onebut that Hey, Ive already addressed that can we move on now? She regurgitates what her advisors tell her to do, for damage control, nothing more. She is a purely political creature, and most of her supporters accept her on that basis, and gush over the image her machine spins out to wrap her up in PR silk and hopes for a brighter future. Debates mean little in this context, for they are largely performances, which lawyers are well-suited to produce. There is one substantive measure for a candidate for high office and one only: what is the track record of their careers? Insofar as garnering wide-scale public support for her candidacy Hillary loses that one to Bernie and she knows it. The main thrust of her advocacy as Ive listened these past months is to put her in as the lesser of two evils. That doesnt play to the millennials. Not when youve got a man of Bernie Sanders integrity and guts. As strong, citizen-powered movements spring up and gather steam for constitutional action by the people against Citizens United, and for term limits in Congress, it is clear that the man has ignited a true political upheaval in this country. Im very glad Im around to see it, and to take part. Obama and Hillery both support eugenics by forcing us to live in a toxic environment. i.e. toxic air, toxic water, toxic food, and toxic vaccines. The financial mafia has already chosen/selected this woman, ( I use that term loosely ) to be the next president. Im afraid we will go down in history as the worlds most advanced idiots 
2	Sarah Palin Steps Up, Slams GOP With Brutal Truth... No One Thought She Would Do This Ever since audio leaked of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump making lewd comments about women, the Clinton campaign has been trying to position him as a sexual predator. Now, Sarah Palin is speaking out against Hillary Clinton and her smears against Trump. She also criticized establishment Republicans for trying to take down the partys nominee. Give me a break. Hillary feigns outrage over Trumps locker room trash talk (it IS trashhowever as a former sports reporter Ive heard much worse in locker rooms, Palin wrote on Facebook. I kinda think Hill has too. Palin didnt stop there. If not, she needs to close her virgin ears and just wish away her participation in extremely crude conversations and activities wherein shes caught on tape), Palin continued. Hills calls Trumps tone horrific. Amazingly, based on complicit silence, here are things Hillary doesnt find horrific. Palin then included this controversial list: *Her own husbands affairs, rape, abusing his power with young interns, humiliating and discrediting victims ad nauseam; *Cops murdered with Black Lives Matters activists taking side with the killers* The ISIS sex slave industry; *Genital female mutilation by Muslims; *Americans left to die in Benghazi at the hands of US backed terrorists; *Americans murdered and/or raped by illegal aliens and refugees (she still wants open borders!); *Various terrorist attacks; *ISIS torturing and murdering their captured by horrendous methods that make water boarding look like a walk in the park; *ISIS and Al Queda throwing homosexuals off roofs of buildings just for being who they are; *Snuffing life out of innocent babies just inches from being born. What do you think of Palins post? Do you applaud her for taking a stand or did she take things way too far? 
3	Gauss Virus Targets Banking System May Cause US Financial CollapseSusanne Posel, Contributor This virus focus on online banking makes it a potential threat to banking systems worldwide. Researchers are still trying to determineif this virus is simply conducting surveillance on banking transactions, or if it is being used to steal money out of targeted accounts. Being called Gaussby the Kaspersky Lab, who confirmed that the new virus is related to Stuxnet, Flame and Duqu, yet a more sophisticated, state-sponsored cyber-espionage tool. Researchers from the security software manufacturer Symantec Corp, confirm Kaspersky Labs summation that Gauss is related to previous government-created cyber warfare viruses. Gauss is capable of being used as a weapon to attack industrial control systems, just like Stuxnet which was used to go after Irans Natanz nuclear power plant facility in 2010. Gauss can encrypt programs that are compressed onto a USB drive, then decompress them once the virus is able to contact to a targeted computer. Kapersky Lab stated: After looking at Stuxnet, Duqu and Flame, we can say with a high degree of certainty that Gauss comes from the same factory or factories. All these attack toolkits represent the high end of nation-state-sponsored cyber-espionage and cyber war operations. Youve got this successful platform. Why not apply it to this investigation into Lebanese banks and whether or not they are involved in money laundering for Hezbollah? US intelligence is touting that Beirut is a hot spot for the clandestine movement of money by states in reference to money laundering. Iran has statedthat Flame and Stuxnet specifically targeted their oil refineries with the intent to disrupt oil production. Gauss could be used for this purpose; however, it is designed to infiltrate banking systems online infrastructure with complex algorithms and encrypted code bases. Kapersky Lab is still analyzing Gauss and its capabilities. They confirmed that the creator of the virus went to a great deal of trouble to disguise its purpose by using sophisticated encryption codes that may take months to decipher. The Budapest University of Technology and Economicss Laboratory of Cryptography and System Security have devised a free testthat determines whether or not the tell-tale Palida Narrow font is downloaded to any computer. In tandem, the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) is claimingthat another malware scheme is directing Web users to a compromised version of the FBI website. When on this fake FBI website, the malware known as Reventon will extract data and coerce users to pay an online fine. The UNs International Telecommunications Union (ITU) has issued a warning to world leaders to protect their infrastructure because of the threat of Gauss. Marco Obiso, cyber security coordinator for ITU said: We dont know what exactly it does.We can have some ideas. We are going to emphasize this. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is analyzing Gauss potential threat to the US. Peter Boogaard, DHS spokesperson commented: The departments cyber security analysts are working with organizations that could potentially be affected to detect, mitigate and prevent such threats. The Cybersecurity Act of 2012 was introduced and voted down by the Senate in July with false claimsperpetuatedby President Obama that. . . foreign governments, criminal syndicates and lone individuals are probing our financial, energy and public safety systems every day. It would be the height of irresponsibility to leave a digital backdoor wide open to our cyber adversaries Shawn Henry, a veteran of the cyber security division in the FBI, has stated that a cyber-attack is very, very likely to occur soon. The Obama administration, in response to the Congress rejecting the CSA, is considering an executive order to protect the nations critical computer infrastructure, according to John Brennan, Homeland Security advisor. At a Council on Foreign Relations meeting Brennan stated: One of the things that we need to do in the executive branch is to see what we can do to maybe put additional guidelines and policies in place under executive branch authority. I mean if the Congress is not going to act then the president wants to make sure that we are doing everything possible. Brennan said that an executive order would be a good vehicle to ensure government agencies are empowered to take action to make sure the nation is protected. Stewart Baker, former senior official for the DHS and cyber security expert at the law firm Stepoe and Johnson remarked: The president can say we cant wait, and Im going to do what Congress cant and protect the American people from cyber-attacks (and) in an election year, that sounds like a pretty promising approach. Obama has repeatedly circumventedCongress with his use of executive orders. This instance would be another where he would be abusing his executive powers. Because of the global fiat currency implosionthat began in 2008, the banking cartels have been propping up the American financial system to stave off a complete monetary collapse in the United States. However, it has always been their intention to bring down the monetary system in America. Ironically, Gauss may be the mode in which they are able to carry this out. During the MF Global scandal, Jon Corzine orderedsegregated customer funds to be secretly redirected into accounts in JPMorgan. During this beta-test, the banking cartels got away with stealing $200 million of customer money without suffering repercussions. Recently, we have seen other types of theft out of customer accountsheld in major banks like Bank of America (BoA) wherein they drilled into a customers safety deposit box, confiscated family heirlooms and transferred them out of the bank. The customers property was sent to North Carolina before the theft was detected. When the customer attempted to retrieve their property, BoA claimed they did not have a social security number on file which was why they emptied out the safety deposit box. However, when opening a safety deposit box, the customers social security number is provided on the initial documentation. The lie BoA perpetrated on the customer was simply to distract from the fact that they overtly stole from their customers private account. And this small-time thievery may be a symptom of a larger banking scheme looming in the distance. Gauss, which is an online banking surveillance virus, has the capability of electronically transferring information out of customer accounts to be redirected to another location. The banking industry would be devastated if suddenly they were infiltrated by Gauss, which would cause every banking customer to become insolvent overnight. This sets the stage for the banking holiday that weve all been warned about. For example, the mainstream media would be used to announce that Gauss has infected all domestic banking computer systems. In order to purge the virus, all banks would need to shut down for a specified amount of time in order to reconfigure their computers. Perhaps on a Friday afternoon, the major banks will all announce that they will shut down to customer activity so they can get rid of Gauss from their system. The banks might say that they will reopen to the public on Monday morning. However, this would be a false flag meant to pacify the public to avert mass panic. While the general public would fall for the cover story, the banking cartels would simply electronically transfer all customer funds from private checking accounts out to off-shore banks where they could not be touched and cover their tracks. Then on Monday morning, while the reports that the banking industry suffered greater infiltration than expected, the DHS and US armed forces would be poised to enact martial law to control the potential for domestic insurrection caused by the realization that every American has had their money stolen from them by the banking cartels in one fell swoop.

3	Will the U.S. Govt Target Whistleblowers With Drones?Yes, things have come this far. There is open talk of killing NSA leaker Edward Snowden via a drone strike. Remember that saying Dont kill the messenger? This is the ultimate form of doing just that. There is open talk in the media of killing National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden via a drone strike. Truthstream Media reporters Melissa Melton and Aaron Dykes discuss this apathetic acceptance of government assassination of American citizens: Not only did these PopSci writers discuss limiting collateral damage and drone strike logistics such as speed and strike range, but the gamut also included whether or not China would appreciate such an attack, and Hambling even asked, So why wouldnt the U.S. government just send a guy with a gun to kill Snowden? These articles were apathetically written as if outright federal assassination of anyone who speaks out against the government is so commonplace, its expected. Snowdens constitutional rights or the fact that government assassination of crime suspects would be tantamount to murder were not mentioned even once in either article as reasons why the U.S. shouldnt go around drone striking American citizens. Scarier still is the fact that the idea itself is plausible enough to garner such casual banter. The thought of permanently silencing dissenters through targeted strikes would not only eliminate embarrassing disclosure from government employees and contractors like Edward Snowden, but it would effectively freeze free speech by intimidating anyone else from coming forward, all while skirting the real issue at hand (in this case systematic, wholesale spying on Americans by the NSA). This all came days before Snowden was even charged albeit ironically with espionage for reporting on the illegal surveillance of the NSA, which has been going on openly since shortly after 9/11. In our bizarre new reality, the systematic criminality of the government is a blas fact of life, but those who would dare to uncover, spotlight and quantify this fact are considered criminal, and even treasonous. It doesnt take a genius to realize that such unwarranted spying is not compatible with a free society, and that the counter-terrorism and national security rationales for concealing the scope of the PRISM program and others like it are insufficient such secrets are not worth keeping. Curbing government abuse and protecting the privacy of the populace, on the other hand, remains a worthwhile goal, even in the age of metadata. Regardless, even if Snowdens actions had been clear-cut crimes, his flight to Hong Kong poses no imminent danger, so the very thought of taking lethal action defies the basic common law spirit and protections of the Constitution and Bill of Rights which have been so readily degraded in this country. Ron Paul was the first (former) public official to voice his concerns that Snowden could hypothetically become the target of a drone attack. The former Congressman and presidential candidate told Fox News: Im worried about somebody in our government might kill him with a cruise missile or a drone missile. I mean, we live in a bad time where American citizens dont even have rights and that they can be killed. But the gentleman is trying to tell the truth about whats going on. I dont think for a minute that he is a traitor. Everybody is worried about him and what theyre going to do and how theyre going to convict him of treason and how theyre going to kill him. But what about the people who destroy our Constitution? What do we think about people who assassinate American citizens without trials and assume thats the law of the land? Thats where our problem is. Indeed, due process has effectively been thrown out the window along with any other rights considered inconvenient to the roaming pseudo-anti-terror apparatus that has occupied the once-free United States. Using the pretext of wider threats and the vague but reaching powers of the National Defense Authorization Acts (NDAA) indefinite detention clause and its concept of a worldwide battlefield as a basis to justify preemptive strikes on dissidents who pose no actual threat is beyond disgusting. Yet as reported before, the Justice Department under Holder considers drones and other actions as useful tools in their kit. The justifications for the supposed legality of striking an American citizen with a drone, even on American soil if the circumstances arise, are already on paper, which will in turn erode the protections in place for other casesand other Americans.

2	They Told The Air Force Coach Not To Quote The Bible, So He Did THIS Instead According to reports from BPR, the Air Force Academy has determined that a football assistant coach tweeting out Bible verses from his personal account is not in violation of any law or ruledespite attacks from an anti-religious military group. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), run by Mikey Weinstein, was very vocal in their objections to the Bible verses shared by Steed Lobotzke on Twitter. Lobotzkes Twitter bios states that hes a Follower of Christ but also explicitly states that his tweets represent his own views and not those of the Air Force Academy. Heres an example of one of the Tweets that outraged the MRFF: Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:3 ESV). I saw the Spirit descend from heavenand it remained on himAnd I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God. John 1:32, another Tweet reads. The Bible verses led Weinstein and his organization to accuse Lobotzke of Christian evangelizing via twitter, blatantly defying Air Force regulations. Today, the Air Force Academy senior leadership clearly shows that unchecked Christian extremism is worse than ever at the Academy, especially on its football team, with the shocking discovery of what the football teams Tight Ends Coach, Steed Lobotzke, a 1992 USAFA grad, has been doing with his official USAFA football twitter account, MRFF told The Gazette in a statement. Lobotzkes official twitter feed is filled with illicit proselytizing in the name of Jesus Christ and even includes such biblical citations juxtaposed with pictures of official football team meetings. The Air Force does not agree with Weinsteins sentiment, noting instead that Twitter accounts of coaches are entirely personal and have no connection the Athletic Department at the Air Force Academy. The Academy remains committed to protecting individuals right to practice any religion they choose, or no religion, provided their practices do not violate policy or law, or impede mission accomplishment, military readiness, unit cohesion, standards or discipline. What do you think? Is it completely outrageous to attack Lobotzke for expressing his own religious views on a personal account? 
2	You Wont Believe The Awesome Way Fox News Just EMBARRASSED Obama To His Face, You Will CHEER In December 2015, President Barack Hussein Obamas top mouthpiece, press secretary Josh Earnest (what a name!), called for stricter gun control laws during a White House news briefing. This was despite the fact that Obama knew already that the FBI was looking into the San Bernardino shootings as acts of Radical Islamic terrorism. Fox News reporter Peter Doocy was in the press audience, and wasnt just going to sit through Obama and Earnests obvious lies silently. Asked Doocy: Does the president really think 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? Hooray! Thank you, Peter Doocy, for sticking it to those obvious liars. Earnest tried to cover for Obama and fib on his behalf, lying that all the weapons used by the San Bernardino shooters had been procured legally. But, of course, nobody bought it. How could they? Anyone following the news at that point knew that the shooter Tashfeen Malik had pledged allegiance to ISIS in the middle of the shooting spree she did with her Radical Muslim husband. Also, it was already reported that two of the weapons had been given to the Muslim couple by someone else. By definition, the weapons were not legally obtained. How can we stomach any more gun control lies from Obama and his soft liberal cronies? This makes me truly sick. 
2	Special Forces Disguised In Burqas Surprise ISIS Terrorists ISIS didnt know what they had coming when they saw a group approaching them in full-length Islamic dress. They didnt know that they were allowing a group of Special Forces troops to sneak undetected into the ISIS caliphate Raqqa to take down their terrorist commander. According to the U.K. Express, the men posed as ISIS wives by covering themselves from head-to-toe in traditional black burqas. In the disguise, the men were able to make their way up to the groups headquarters. It was not apparent that they were carrying grenades, machine guns and ammo underneath the religious garb. After making their way through the town, the group was able to locate the house of a senior terrorist chief. They then relayed the location and coordinates to a US Air Force AWAC mission control aircraft, which was already circling thousands of feet above. The aircraft passed the information on to a US Reaper drone, which later fired a Hellfire missile into the building, successfully taking down the ISIS commander and several of his associates. What do you think of this plan? Was it ingenious. just plain risky, or both? Regardless, were glad that these extremists got what they had coming to them. 
1	A Presto Appliance advertising slogan was proven accurate Tuesday, when local resident Larry McCue announced that he is helped every day by the Presto Salad Shooter. 'The Salad Shooter helps me every day,' McCue said. 'Whether I am shredding whole potatoes into hash browns at breakfast time, or preparing healthful salads and other entrees later in the day, no day goes by without help from my Salad Shooter.' In addition to the culinary assistance provided by the appliance, McCue said that on one occasion he knocked an intruder unconscious with the compact, easy-to-clean appliance. Presto officials stressed that the Salad Shooter is not meant for use as a blunt weapon. 
1	BOSTONPoor player attendance, negligible fan turnout, and a marked lack of general enthusiasm marred the New England Patriots' annual season-ending parade through the streets of Boston Monday in what is being regarded as the worst such parade in the last three years. Fans not gathering at Boston's Old State House a half-hour before the Patriots season-ending parade is scheduled to begin. 'New England fans are the best fans in the world!' said owner Robert Kraft, standing beneath a banner that read 'CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NFL CHAMPION PATRIOTS' in bold block letters, with the phrase 'Of The AFC East' hastily spray-painted beside it. 'It's just too bad more of them couldn't be here with us today to celebrate what we all agree was really an almost perfect season.' The reception for the team was unusually stilted, partially due to the cold and partially because the Patriots had not, in fact, won the Super Bowl. Kraft's speech was interrupted twice by police, who informed the team owner that he had not obtained the proper permit to hold a parade, and delayed for over an hour before the team was notified that the traditional duck boats used for the team's Super Bowl parade had been rented out to other parties after the Patriots' loss to the Broncos on Sunday. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, linebacker Tedy Bruschi, and lineman Matt Light looked out over the few dozen bewildered spectators at Boston's City Hall, occasionally shifting their weight and awkwardly fumbling with unopened bags of confetti while waiting for hastily arranged flatbed trucks to arrive and take them down the parade route. 'We're baaack!' Brady told a hurrying lunchtime crowd in City Hall Plaza, standing with Kraft, Coach Bill Belichick, and dozens of teammates at the near-victory rally. 'And we came back early this year! Now let's hear it for the guys who helped me win three Super Bowls in the last five years!' Kraft and Belichick praised the team's commitment to above-average performance, a philosophy that led to a season-ending streak of four straight wins, a loss, a wild-card playoff win, and then Sunday's 27-13 defeat at the hands of a fired-up Denver team. 'My guys have become the team to beat in the NFL,' said Coach Belichick, looking out over the honking, bustling afternoon traffic as it streamed around the parade. 'Every team out there knows they have to bring their A' game when they take us on. Damned if that wasn't what the Broncos did, too. Kind of takes the edge off the day, but, you know, we've been looking forward to this parade for a long time.' 'Everyone enjoys a nice parade,' added Belichick. Fan reaction was uncharacteristically subdued. 'I took the day off for the victory parade a year ago,' said Jake Scheinbarth, 33, a UPS delivery driver and self-described 'die-hard Patriots fan.' 'But the day I took off was in February. This crap is obstructing my damn drop-offs, here.' 'Go, Pats! Come on, let's move it! Aw, get the hell out of the way!' he added, leaning on his van's horn in frustration. Law-enforcement officials along the parade route said the few fans who noticed the parade were unusually well-behaved. 'We had a few traffic snarl-ups along Boylston Street by people who weren't ready for three trucks with bunting on them to come down the street in the middle of the day,' said officer Chris Cashion. 'No arrests for public intoxication, no overturned cars, and only one woman bared her breasts. And it was a homeless woman who does that to all the truck drivers.' Officials said only one fatality had been reported during the celebration, but that it had actually happened in a dispute over dog ownership in relatively distant Quincy, MA and was most likely unrelated. 
3	Is China Massing Troops Along North Koreas Border?By Joshua Krause Prior to the launch, multiple international news agencies reported that 2,000 Chinese soldiers were massing along the border with North Korea, in anticipation of a possible 5th nuclear test (which hasnt happened). Chinas Defense Ministry vehemently denied the claim, saying The relevant report does not accord with the factsthe Chinese military maintains normal combat readiness and training on the China-North Korea border. However, the idea that China may be deploying troops as an implicit threat to North Korea, is not far-fetched at all. Relations between the two countries have deteriorated significantly this year after North Koreas last nuclear test, which led China to condemn the North and support UN sanctions against Kim Jong-uns regime. Shortly thereafter, a document from the Workers Party of North Korea was made public, which declared China an enemy state. It also called for a nuclear storm against China for its betrayal of socialism. Image Credit Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple.

1	Alerting faithful around the world to changes regarding its process of beatification and canonization, Vatican spokesman Fr. Federico Lombardi announced today that the Roman Catholic Church will now bestow sainthood on any man or woman who attends weekly mass on a regular basis. After careful deliberation and prayer, the Church has elected to enter any believer into the Canon of Saints so long as he or she is pure of heart and shows up to mass once a week, or even three out of four times a month, Lombardi wrote in a statement distributed to all dioceses worldwide, noting that the Congregation for the Causes of Saints will promptly begin taking up the cases of any parishioner who arrives on time and stays for the whole thing. We are also waiving the requirement that individuals be dead before attaining sainthood. As long as you take Communion and stick around for a few minutes after the service, youre pretty much in. You can be patron saint of anything you wantgood health, food, music, whateveras long as youre sitting in that pew. Lombardi said that in addition to revising canonization procedures, the Vatican would now allow anyone who attends mass to put on the priests vestments at the end of the service and play the churchs organ if they want.

2	The Walmart Controversy And Operation Jade Helm Just Got A Whole Lot Worse Weve been hearing a lot of about Operation Jade Helm lately, as the exercise prepares to kick off this summer in several southwestern states. Some Americans are concerned that this could be inviting martial law into our country. Now, former marine Pat Calhoun and Goliad County judge is attempting to reassure citizens of Texas that the exercise will do no such thing. I know whats going on with this, Calhoun told reporters. You dont have anything to be afraid of in our military. Still, Governor Greg Abbott of Texas is taking action, and has asked the Texas State Guard to keep an eye on the operations. He expects regular updates on the progress and safety of the Operation. Kathie Glass, a former candidate for governor, claims that we are approaching an increasingly tyrannical federal government. Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary is attempting to defuse Americans claiming that the operation will in no way affect the rights of Americans. What do you think? Do you trust the operation?

Is this just further proof that Obama should be behind bars? 
2	Obama Arrogantly Responds To Calls For Impeachment This Will Make You Sick [VIDEO] President Obama has made it clear time and time again that he is not afraid to act unilaterally, even though his approval rating from Congress has dropped to only 6%. And who would approve of a leader who has made it clear that he sees no problem going around the law to fuel his agenda. This weekend, he caused quite the controversy after publicly ripping into Republicans, claiming that they were using taxpayer dollars to sue him. You hear some of them, sue him, impeach him. Really? For What? Obama asked of the audience, clearly addressing Alaskan Governor Sarah Palins call for action. Youre going to sue me for doing my job? Youre going to use taxpayer money to sue me for doing my job when you dont do your job. President Obama clearly fails to acknowledge that he has taken any actions that overstep his bounds, and in fact, continues to attempt to defend himself by cutting down the actions of other presidents. Its not clear how it is the Republicans didnt seem to mind when President Bush took more executive actions than I did, Obama concluded. Maybe its just me they dont like. I dont know. Sorry, Obama. Were not letting you play the victim on this one. If Republicans dont like you, maybe its because youve done everything you can to undercut the Constitution. What do you think? Do you agree that Obama needs to be kicked out of office? 
3	Fukushima: Crossroads At The Rising SunJefferey Jaxen They say if you are not a psychopath, you can never think like one. I live by the timeless words of Alexander Solzhenitsyn when his stated, Dont believe them, dont fear them, dont ask anything of them. This all in a Japanese culture that historically puts its energy not in caring who is to blame, but rather how to remedy the issue. But is it a fair race when the most celebrated runners dont hear the opening gun? Does equality matter when only a small minority get the jump? Select leaders, multi-national corporate interests, among them. No restarts in this sprint, better to launch wildly forward from the starting blocks. Maybe a bronze medal awaits for the ones that do. Those of us that care to venture forth into this information must stay grounded. Fearless. Humanitys very existence appears to lay in the balance. For those advanced souls, life takes on new meaning. Trivial events gets their volume lowered. The obvious, unwavering stare of potential destinies peer into their infinite future generations. Each current breath, each action etched into time as a permeate record that we were here, that empathy hadnt been extinguished yet. Solutions are at hand. Great minds have been mobilized and are trailblazing a path into uncharted territories with courage. We are all fellow travelers in this story. The enemy has made it clear there will be no quarter. The realization has set in now that some around you may be affected. The mountain remains in the distance still partially covered in the morning fog. But soon, we will be upon that illusive beast and all questions will be answered with desperate clarity. Perhaps here it is apt to add the words of Paracelsus, the founder of the discipline of toxicology and fellow revolutionary for insisting upon using observations of nature when he said, For it is we who must pray for our daily bread, and if He grants it to us, it is only through our labour, our skill and preparation. There are allies in this journey. Yet in these uncertain times, truth is at a premium. Dont follow the rabbit trails. Your intuition reigns king, subservient to no one. Individuals are only as good as their latest work. The people below, in my opinion are trustworthy resources. For we face many battles, each with heroes and villains as vivid as those remembered from our childhood novels. Dr. Helen Caldicott: A whirlwind of unassuming power that has almost single handedly spearheaded a sustained anti-nuclear revolution spanning decades. Regarding Fukushima, nothing but 100% distilled, unapologetic truth. Shes unmatched in bridging the gap between practicing medical doctors, biologists, and theoretical physicists that often miss the big picture with their computer model predictions. Arnie Gunderson: Credentials for days. A former nuclear engineer and licensed reactor operator turned good guy. Arnie started Fairewinds.org with his wife and gives up-to-the-minute reporting of not only whats happening at Fukushima but the potential dangers and alternatives. I have to imagine he is the fire under Tepcos ass at every turn and haunting the dreams of any of their potential decisions. Dr. Richard Alan Miller: A favorite of many including the author. Simply put, he is the Hunter S Thompson of consciousness and the study of the human mind with the credentials to beat all who doubt into submission. He was one of the first to put his reputation on the line and call Fukushima for what it is: a global disaster of possible extinction proportions. His solutions are grounded in reality, his predictions seem very plausible and his work ethic pure. Dr. Simon Atkins: Social medial MVP and Internet staple for keeping the Fukushima-related information in the publics face. He is relentless in hammering out breaking stories and tying them into already public information. His finger is currently resting firmly on the pulse, continually providing commonsense personal solutions revolving around sound detoxification strategies. Has put his money where his mouth is and relocated to the Southern Hemisphere. Dr. Christopher Busby: Another longtime anti-nuclear pioneer in the arena. Solid science combined with a calm, ultra focused approach makes for a perfect combination to constantly deliver valuable information that has and will continue to save lives. Dutchsinse: One of the few man on the street reporters continuously, accurately testing the background radiation of rain, snow, soil, and soon fish. Videos updated often. His results cut through government silence. Historys sidelines rarely get mention. Those that didnt play lost in the deep folds of time. The game we find ourselves in is no doubt a big one. Advertisers need not apply. Double check your equipment, say your prayers, take the last glimpse at your brothers and sisters on each side of you. The game begins now!

1	Reaffirming a deeply traditionalist definition of the institution of matrimony, Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito issued a statement Monday declaring that marriage can only strictly exist between a man and the tempestuous sea. It is my opinion that the only constitutionally sanctionable union is composed of a seafaring man and the solitary life of fickle winds and brine-crested breakers, said Alito, adding that any current law that fails to narrowly delineate marriage as a compact involving a man, the churning waves, and the sea-song of gulls in the early dawn is invalid according to the highest law of the land. The principle of equal protection enshrined in the Constitution emphatically does not entitle the federal government or any state body to redefine this sacred maritime institution. The Founding Fathers recognized that the heart belongs to the tides and the deep alonein both stormful days and calm waters. Alito went on to say that marriage between a man and the sea must be preserved as such despite the fact that she can be a cruel mistress with little heed for what a forsaken old sailor wills. 
2	BREAKING: Obama Openly Calls For A New World Order In his last term as President, Obama has made it more than clear that he is hungry for power, and hes not afraid to use it. As Obama himself noted at a recent fundraiser in Seattle, hes in search of a new world order. People are anxious. Now, some of that has to do with some big challenges overseas, Obama claimed. Part of peoples concern is just the sense that around the world the old order isnt holding and were not quite yet to where we need to be in terms of a new order thats based on a different set of principles, thats based on a sense of common humanity, thats based on economies that work for all people. Here in the United States, what people are also concerned about is the fact that although the economy has done well in the aggregate, for the average person it feels as if incomes, wages just havent gone up, Obama continued. That people, no matter how hard they work, they feel stuck. For many who question Obamas motives, the call for a new order is daunting. Who knows how far hell take it, or what will happen to anyone who doesnt go along with his vision. What do you think? Does Obama need to be removed from office immediately? 
2	Trump Makes Huge Announcement About His Secretary Of Defense The nation has been eagerly awaiting President-elect Donald Trumps picks for the remaining spots in his cabinet. Now, hes officially named retired Marine Gen. James Mattis as his Secretary of Defense. Mattis is a retired 4-star Marine Corps general who led central command from 2010 to 2013. He served our country for 44 years, leading the task force into Southern Iran in 2001 and division during the Iraq invasion. He is, without doubt, a controversial choice for Trump. Mattis is at odds with the Obama Administration over their ill-advised decision to pull troops from Iran. In fact, he was fired by President Obama for being too tough on our nations enemies. With Trump promising to provide stronger defense for our country, his tough approach could be exactly what our nation needs. Its clear that Trump is taking the concerns of the American people to heart and nominating people who are not going to break under pressure. What do you think of Trumps choice? 
3	Cop on Film Brutally Murders Ex-Wife in Car With Young Daughter in TowBy Amanda Warren Turns out, the killer was Neptune Township Police Sgt. Phillip Seidle who was off-duty and instigating a car chase after his ex-wife, while their 7-year-old daughter sat helplessly in his Honda Pilot passenger seat. Tamara Seidle, who had completed a divorce with him on May 27 after 24 years of marriage and 9 children, was trying to escape him and ended up crashing her car into a parked car on an Asbury neighborhood street, leaving her stuck. Police who arrived at the scene taking place while residents gathered, were likely colleagues or knew of him, and allowed him to brandish his service weapon a .40-caliber Glock handgun and instigate threats to her through her car door for some time. They may also have been aware of the serious allegations that led to the divorce domestic violence which required police intervention, infidelity, financial neglect, addictions, and more acts of physical, emotional and verbal abuse. In one instance, while Tamara was pregnant, he held a loaded gun to her head, cocked the weapon in a threatening and intimidating fashion, with no regard to the torment he was causing the Plaintiff. (source) Then, everyone simply watches in horror as he unloaded approximately four gun shots into her, point blank, brutally and remorselessly killing her right there. The worst part is his attorney is entering a not guilty plea! From CNN: Seidle is charged with first-degree murder, second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and second-degree endangering the welfare of a child. If convicted, Seidle faces a minimum of 30 years in a state prison without parole and a maximum sentence of life. [] Your honor, [Edward] Bertucio said, I realize this is an initial appearance and you did not ask for the entry of a plea, but if you had, we would plead absolutely, positively not guilty. According to Cop Block, Seidle, instead of being swarmed, beaten, or taken down with a hail of bullets received sympathy, hugs and reassuring pats as though a job well done had taken place in saving Seidle from the suicide portion of murder-suicide perhaps. Filming Cops noted that viewers are seriously pointing out the discrepancy of police allowing this event to unfold as it did cops run up to the shooter, but allow him to keep shooting. They are all armed and hiding behind a vehicle, guns ready while a shirtless Seidle is out in the open in the middle of the street. Allegedly, he had pointed the gun at his own head before using it to fire more shots, this time into the windshield. How many suicidal people get the opportunity to kill and then get rescued? Suicidal people are often killed when the police are called which means they would have had a greater chance of survival if left to their own devices, versus a break-in with an instant spattering of bullets. (One officer was even fired for talking a college student out of suicide and getting him some water instead of tasing the daylights out of him.) Seidle got a brief stand-off and even survived surrendering. Everyone deserves a trial and on-site shootings should always be last resort its just, how often has that happened in the last 15 years? It is with great sadness and hesitation that we place the footage here, but it clearly shows that police did not act as they would in other situations. It shows a different side of the story already spun by the sickening media using the words accused of and allegedly all for police benefit. Whereas cops are taught to eliminate all threats despite consequences (myself before all others) or even casualties they not only allowed a maniacal and aggressive Seidle in the street with a weapon but did not even act after one and then two shots were leveled at her. He was allowed to finish blasting her at will. Seidle is alive and gets all the benefits of a fair trial, albeit with a $2 million bail, but this is a disgrace to all the victims and victims families of the thousands of Americans who have been executed immediately on site by police without any kind of trial. And especially the victims of the code of silence the victims who have no one to turn to for help when they are pursued by a law enforcement connection. There is even a quote that Seidle wouldnt have been considered a cop in this situation, but a criminal and murderer is that how he was treated here? Couldnt Tamara have been saved? [Warning Fatal Brutality] This writer would like to echo the warnings from the other cop watchdog sites that rates of domestic violence among romantic partners of police are incredibly higher than in the general population. A resource for people in such desperate situations where the abuser is the authority, can use all resources to find the victim, and receives protection from fellow officers isDiane Wetendorfs book Police Domestic Violence: Handbook for Victims available at the link to her Web site. It is also notable that Dr. George K. Simon in his bestseller In Sheeps Clothing discusses the best way to extract oneself from less extreme circumstances when dealing with covert aggressives so that it doesnt escalate to a homicide or murder-suicide. From his research, he found that covert aggressives (whatever you want to call them) lack conscience and want to win. They want power. If the object of their power play appears to be on top (even by escaping) then it could be an all bets are off situation ending in violence an if I cant win, everyone loses scenario. Not only did the mother lose her life especially since fellow law enforcement failed to act as they would normally but a little girl has lost both parents and witnessed her father brutally murder her mother with repeated gun shots. One can only hope and pray she and the rest of the family find peace and healing from the unthinkable. Recently fromAmanda Warren: Why does the camera (with apparent deliberateness) pan down to the side walk BOTH times the actual shooting takes place? I noticed that too and have seen that in other videos I have been brave enough to sit thru I wonder if its an automatic reaction when witnessing something that traumatic. Maybe more footage will surface and hopefully the killer will be behind bars Too bad someone didnt perform a citizens arrest on him with a .44 He should of been shot on sight, but his buddies i guess felt sorry for him. It figures. Why did the phone cam operator lower the camera during the shots? Who does that? Its Asbury Park. The person with the camera is probably used to hitting the deck upon hearing shots. Not joking. Its a violent place. In cases such as these ther should be very little time between arrest and the death sentence. This story should be way bigger than it is. The Asbury Park police work in a high-crime area, these arent a bunch of small-town rubes here. Theres a guy who just shot his ex-wife waving a gun around in a busy residential neighborhood and theyre doing nothing but yelling. Then they actually allow the gunman to walk back over to the front of the car where he shoots her again. And even after that, they dont shoot him. Theres no violent takedown, no boot to the neck, no assault, no tasers, just pats on the back and tearful hugs. Its astonishing footage. Any non-cop would have been shot multiple times, no question. I wonder why they just didnt shoot him in the leg or something. This piece of garbage will not be convicted. Juries will never convict a cop. Yet ANOTHER story showing why they are called PIGS. Human Garbage. Hey, lets hear it for the boys in blue. Here in America we have to learn that some people, pigs and politicians are above the law. 
2	Hillary Clinton Goes After Trump, Is Met With Instant Justice Hillary Clinton stirred controversy on a recent appearance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, when she went out of her way to make fun of Donald Trump. During one of the skits, Fallon played Donald Trump. Clinton went on to make fun of his hair, his failed marriages, and his comments on immigration and womens rights. Clinton claimed that Trumps hair was a single strand that he twirls over his head like a soft serve at Dairy Queen. Shortly after the appearance, which was widely criticized, Clinton topped in Columbus, OH. Unfortunately for her, only a few hundred people showed up to watch her speak on womens issues. What do you think? Did Hillary only hurt herself on this one? 
3	US Ambassadors Death: Fruits of US Foreign PolicyUS-Backed Terrorists in Syria Responsible for Ambassadors Death in Libya. The US has sworn to make pay those responsible for the death of US Ambassador Christopher Stevens. In reality, those responsible for Stevens death are fully armed, funded, trained, and coordinating with NATO special forces in Libya, across North Africa, and in Syria. Image: Ambassador Stevens (right, wearing a blue tie) had been in Benghazi, Libya since March 2011. He played a leading role in coordinating the violent subversion of Libya by listed terrorist organizations before being named US Ambassador to Libya. Despite Libyas capital being located over 400 miles west in Tripoli, Stevens was based out of Benghazi, the 30 year epicenter of terrorist extremism and Al Qaeda in Libya. Recent attacks on US embassies were designed to give street credit to sectarian extremists who are increasingly seen internationally as mercenary proxies of US-Saudi-Israeli foreign policy Stevens death was most likely an accident. The embassy attacks were tacitly supported by the respective client-regimes recently installed by US political and military destabilization, and were designed to reestablish an adversarial narrative to counter growing public awareness of the US use of terrorist proxies, and specifically, Al Qaeda in nations like Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. We are now expected to believe that Egypts new dictator Mohamed Morsi, and the terrorists of Libya whom the US is right now arming and supporting in Syria, are once again our implacable enemies. US Support of Terrorism in Libya Stretches Back Three Decades The details of the plan were sketchy, but it seemed to be a classic CIA destabilization campaign. One element was a disinformation program designed to embarrass Kaddafi and his government. Another was the creation of a counter government to challenge his claim to national leadership. A third potentially the most risky was an escalating paramilitary campaign, probably by disaffected Libyan nationals, to blow up bridges, conduct small-scale guerrilla operations and demonstrate that Kaddafi was opposed by an indigenous political force. Newsweek, A Plan to Overthrow Kaddafi, August 3, 1981 The Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), along with its affiliates and predecessors, have been armed, trained, its leaders coddled and supported by the West for over 30 years. One of these predecessors, the US-CIA backed National Front for the Salvation of Libya (NFSL) made multiple attempts to assassinate Qaddafi and initiate armed rebellion throughout Libya during the 1980s. Many of these fighters would also line the US-Saudi created front, Al Qaeda, when first it was conceived in the mountains of Afghanistan in the 1980s. Most of these fighters lived and operated from Libyas eastern region of Cyrenaica, and in particular, the cities of Benghazi and Darnah. The US Armys West Point Combating Terrorism Center (CTC) noted in its report, Al-Qaidas Foreign Fighters in Iraq, that these same fighters, drawn in particular from Benghazi and Darnah, would then move on to fighting US troops in both Afghanistan starting in 2001, and Iraq beginning in 2003, as well as contributing to the sectarian violence that made up the backbone of Iraqs so-called civil war. Whether or not their affiliation with Al Qaeda was official throughout the last 3 decades, the CTCs report confirms that by 2007, an announced merger was made: The apparent surge in Libyan recruits traveling to Iraq may be linked the Libyan Islamic Fighting Groups (LIFG) increasingly cooperative relationship with alQaida, which culminated in the LIFG officially joining alQaida on November 3, 2007. (page 9, .pdf) It would seem unthinkable then that the US would pick what was the epicenter of terrorism in Libya to make contacts with militants who had carried out three decades of terrorism and had even fought directly with US troops across multiple theaters of war especially after these terrorists officially announced their merger with Al Qaeda. But that is exactly what the United States did. Starting in March 2011, US President Barack Obama appointed Christopher Stevens as Special Representative to the Libyan Transitional National Council, and sent him to Benghazi to coordinate US military, diplomatic, and financial support to a counter government constituted from Cyrenaicas Al Qaeda terror battalions and a cadre of US-educated, politically cultivated proxies across the National Transitional Council (NTC). Eventually, Stevens mission would become a success. NATO-backed terrorists overran the Libyan government, overthrowing it in Tripoli, brutalizing the cities of Bani Walid and Sirte with the help of several months of aerial bombardment from NATO and exterminating or exiling the entire population (10,000 to 30,000 people) of Tawarga. And almost immediately after the US success in Libya, the very terror brigades NATO had been funding, arming, training, and providing air support for, set out for the Turkish-Syrian border where they began invading Syria. Ambassador Stevens Murderers Tied Directly to US-Backed Terrorists in Syria Entire brigades fighting the Syrian government are led by Libyan LIFG terrorists and include within their ranks Saudi-inspired Wahhabi extremists the ones who surrounded and attacked the US consulate in Benghazi, leading to the death of Ambassador Stevens. Reuters, in their article, Libyan fighters join Syrian revolt, reported, that Mahdi al-Harati, a powerful militia chief from Libyas western mountains, who is actually a militant of the US, British, and UN listed terrorist organization Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), now leads a unit in Syria, made up mainly of Syrians but also including some foreign fighters, including 20 senior members of his own Libyan rebel unit. Reuters would go on to explain, the Libyans aiding the Syrian rebels include specialists in communications, logistics, humanitarian issues and heavy weapons, and that they operate training bases, teaching fitness and battlefield tactics. Image: Libyan Mahdi al-Harati of the US State Department, United Nations, and the UK Home Office (page 5, .pdf)-listed terrorist organization, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), addressing fellow terrorists in Syria. Harati is now commanding a Libyan brigade operating inside of Syria attempting to destroy the Syrian government and subjugate the Syrian population. Traditionally, this is known as foreign invasion. To reach Syria, Libyan fighters must cross the Mediterranean Sea and enter via Turkey, or cross Egypt, Israel, and enter via Jordan. The government of Syria has threatened Libya in no conceivable manner, making Libyas campaign an intolerable act of military aggression. Worst of all, the NATO-installed government in Tripoli has officially approved of supporting military operations in distant Syria. Image: Libya is separated by sea and several nations from Syria. For hundreds, possibly thousands of Libyan fighters to now be turning up in Syria indicates a military operation requiring multinational support, and more specifically, NATO-backing. Abdulhakim Belhadj, head of the Tripoli Military Council and the former leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, met with Free Syrian Army leaders in Istanbul and on the border with Turkey, said a military official working with Mr Belhadj. Mustafa Abdul Jalil (the interim Libyan president) sent him there. Another Telegraph article, Libyas new rulers offer weapons to Syrian rebels, would admit Syrian rebels held secret talks with Libyas new authorities on Friday, aiming to secure weapons and money for their insurgency against President Bashar al-Assads regime, The Daily Telegraph has learned. At the meeting, which was held in Istanbul and included Turkish officials, the Syrians requested assistance from the Libyan representatives and were offered arms, and potentially volunteers. There is something being planned to send weapons and even Libyan fighters to Syria, said a Libyan source, speaking on condition of anonymity. There is a military intervention on the way. Within a few weeks you will see. Later that month, some 600 Libyan terrorists would be reported to have entered Syria to begin combat operations and as recently as last month, CNN, whose Ivan Watson accompanied terrorists over the Turkish-Syrian border and into Aleppo, revealed that indeed foreign fighters were amongst the militants, particularly Libyans. It was admitted that: Meanwhile, residents of the village where the Syrian Falcons were headquartered said there were fighters of several North African nationalities also serving with the brigades ranks. A volunteer Libyan fighter has also told CNN he intends to travel from Turkey to Syria within days to add a platoon of Libyan fighters to armed movement. CNN also added: On Wednesday, CNNs crew met a Libyan fighter who had crossed into Syria from Turkey with four other Libyans. The fighter wore full camouflage and was carrying a Kalashnikov rifle. He said more Libyan fighters were on the way. The foreign fighters, some of them are clearly drawn because they see this as a jihad. So this is a magnet for jihadists who see this as a fight for Sunni Muslims.CNNs reports provide bookends to 2011s admissions that large numbers of Libyan terrorists flush with NATO cash and weapons had headed to Syria, with notorious terrorist LIFG commandersmaking the arrangements. So who exactly will the US make pay for the death of Ambassador Stevens? Will they pull the funds and weapons they are using currently to wage terror upon the people of Syria? Will they liquidate the terror organizations and bases in Libya recruiting and training militants to fight Americas proxy war in Syria? Unlikely. US Foreign Policy is Hegemony Through Terror, Couched in Democracy Promotion Clearly, those involved in overthrowing the government of Libya, and attempting to overthrow the government of Syria, are not freedom fighters, but listed terrorists. The US, UK, and EU are in violation of both their own domestic anti-terrorism laws (and here), as well as international law in their continued support of listed-terrorist organizations. What was to be a relatively benign public relations stunt to disassociate the US and its democracy promotion from terrorist organizations, has now left a high ranking US diplomat dead and the Wests foreign policy narrative in further tatters. This illustrates operational incompetence as well as Wall Street and Londons increasing reliance on complex ploys to manage public perception. Stakeholders in the Wall Street-London international order will inevitably begin asking themselves whether or not they will share the fate of Stevens if they do not begin an orderly divestment from a crumbling paradigm. Furthermore, an increasingly aware public will still be able to look at both the Libyan and Egyptian governments and see proxy-regimes desperately seeking street-credit through anti-American, anti-Israeli rhetoric (or embassy raids). However, for example, Egypts Morsi cannot erase his US education, the US citizenship of his children, nor his current policy of capitulation to the IMF, and his support of the US-Saudi-Israeli proxy assault on Syria. Image: A visual representation of the National Endowment for Democracys corporate-financier ties found across their Board of Directors. Far from human rights advocates, they are instead simply leveraging such issues to disguise what is in reality corporate-financier hegemonic expansion. Image: The Henry Jackson Society is just one of many Neo-Conservative think-tanks, featuring many of the same people and of course, the same corporate sponsors (see annual report beginning on page 18, .pdf). HJS scribe Michael Weiss couches Neo-Con talking points within liberal humanitarianism regularly upon the pages of the Telegraph. The corporate-financier interests of Wall Street and London hope that those in the West continue to make false distinctions between left and right, as well as fall for new faces telling old narratives. They also hope that regardless of your political views, you continue paying into their corporations and institutions, so that they continue receiving the resources they need to carry on with their agenda. In the game of chess, pawns are first sacrificed for tactical advantages. When these are expended, higher-valued pieces are next. Ambassador Stevens is just such a piece. His death was caused by a risky geopolitical stunt for the benefit of his own government, involving extremists he helped arm, train, fund, and install into power. Stevens contemporaries must ask themselves if they too are willing to join him in his sacrifice, as all the pawns have either been spent, or are stuck in stalemates upon the board.

1	Explaining that her design is not necessarily war-specific, Claire Dunham has begun shopping around a rejected memorial she originally created to honor soldiers who lost their lives in the first Gulf War. Dunham told reporters Monday that the monument is suitable for any conflict or skirmish a nation wishes to remember, and can be installed at a park or battle site anywhere in the world. 'This is a real nice monument, and it's just sitting here,' Dunham said. 'The great thing is, it's modular. You can put these pillars as far apart as you need to in order to accommodate a lot of names, or close together to honor a few.' Dunham went on to say that there was no reason an interested party couldn't cross out a few words in order to make it an air disaster memorial or a Little League victory statue. 
1	Local woman Jessica Hartley, 26, confirmed Tuesday that she always has a backup problem handy just in case her initial predicament is resolved or no longer relevant. 'Whether it's fretting about my career or the mess in my kitchen, I hate being caught off guard without anything to worry about,' Hartley said. 'It's good to have a spare problem in your back pocket. I'll probably never use it, but it's comforting to know it's there.' Hartley, who is currently apprehensive about paying off a credit card bill, said a misshapen mole on her arm that might be skin cancer should be a good secondary source of stress. 
2	Obama Paralyzed After Donald Trump Comes Forward With THESE Documents Donald Trump has not been subtle in his criticisms of the Obama administration, and has been particularly vocal about Obamas disastrous economic strategies. This did not start with his campaign. In 2011, he appeared on Fox News with Greta Van Susteren to talk about the President. He doesnt have it, Trump said of Obamas birth certificate. He spent millions of dollars on lawyers trying to get out of the issue. They give whats called a certificate of live birth, which doesnt even have a signature on it, and anybody can get a certificate of live birth. Its nothing to do with a birth certificate. Trump went on to claim that it is suspicious that no body has come forward to claim that they witnessed the birth, or delivered him. To be honest with you, I want him to have a birth certificate because that would mean that his presidency was, I guess youd have to say, illegal, Trump concluded. What do you think?

1	In the first operation of its kind, doctors at St. Luke's Medical Center successfully transplanted a mouse heart into a human Tuesday. Surgeons replace Raymond Calvecchia's ailing heart with one from a healthy mouse. Hospital officials are calling the procedure 'a complete success.' 'The patient is recuperating nicely,' chief cardiologist Dr. Alex Sutin told reporters. 'We are confident he will be able to enjoy a long, happy life, just as long as he doesn't overexert himself by, say, attempting to walk.' The patient, 58-year-old Beloit, WI, bus driver Raymond Calvecchia, was diagnosed last month with a rare degenerative heart condition known as idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. He was not expected to live another eight weeks without a donor heart, Sutin said. 'We searched every database for a suitable human donor,' said Sutin, who performed the groundbreaking operation, 'but none could be found. In the end, we decided to go with a compatible mouse.' 'Mice have very clear arteries,' Sutin noted. Though the nine-hour procedure was ultimately successful, some difficulties arose during surgery. 'We ran into problems when it came time to graft Mr. Calvecchia's aorta onto the organ,' Sutin said. 'The heart kept falling into the aortal opening and had to be fished out with forceps.' Dr. Albert Ozawa examines the mouse heart prior to surgery. Calvecchia is awake and alert, but he could not address the media, as doctors have cautioned him against movement of any kind for the rest of his life. 'His heart is already pounding like a jackhammer at a rate of approximately 1,100 beats per minute,' Sutin said. 'His family has advised the nursing staff what TV shows he prefers, as changing the channels or requesting that it be done could induce a massive coronary.' Due to the rate of cardiac excitement that could result, Calvecchia is not permitted to watch news, sports or comedy shows of any kind. The only programming he is allowed to have on is cable-access city-council meetings and UPN's The Sentinel. The operation is being hailed as the biggest breakthrough in interspecies transplants since October 1995, when doctors at New York's Mt. Sinai Hospital implanted a Brooklyn man with a hamster liver. Though the procedure was initially successful, the liver developed terminal cirrhosis when the patient used an alcohol-based mouthwash. 
1	Cracking open a beer and settling into his couch Saturday night, local man Martin Burfette, who had no previously scheduled plans for the evening nor invitations to attend a social gathering of any kind, confirmed that he was simply too exhausted to leave his apartment. Im pretty beat; think Ill just kick back and stay in tonight, said the socially bereft 32-year-old, who decided that, after the week [he] had, he would simply order takeout, watch Netflix, and fall asleep, a course of action that was essentially the only option available to him. You know, I put in a lot of work over the past few days, so why shouldnt I give myself a break and relax? I could really use a little me time. Sources confirmed that Burfette leapt up instantaneously to grab his phone at the sound of an incoming text message. 
2	Obama UNLEASHES On Clint Eastwood After He Did THIS Controversy seems to follow Clint Eastwood wherever he goes. Its not surprising, given that the actor/director has no problem speaking his mind. Such was the case once again at the Republic National Convention (RNC). Following the actors controversial speech, Americans have broken into a heated debate as to whether or not Eastwood took things too far. President Obama was quick to make his opinion known, tweeting This seat is taken. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you support Clint Eastwood or did he take things too far? 
1	In what many are calling the publisher's most dramatic relaunch to date, DC Comics released on Wednesday the first issue of a new Aquaman series that depicts the underwater superhero as a 45-year-old single father struggling to raise a troubled flounder. 'Written by acclaimed writer Scott Snyder, this new series really captures the depths of Aquaman's character as he agonizes over his flounder wife abandoning the family and then learns that being primary caregiver to a juvenile-delinquent fish is the most difficult challenge in all the seven seas,' said DC comics editor-in-chief Bob Harras, adding that the middle-aged Aquaman and his flounder son share a cramped apartment in a rough area of Atlantis. 'Aquaman, whose super strength and powers have faded with age, must summon all his telepathic abilities to get through to the violent and aggressive young flounder, who is expelled from school after attacking an ornate cowfish.' Harras confirmed that an upcoming storyline would involve Aquaman learning his troubled son was actually fathered by a young Black Manta. 
2	Obama In Panic Mode After NY Post Releases Historically Controversial Headline The New York Post caused quite a stir when they unveiled a brutal front page targeting President Obama. The cover came in response to the presidents blatant refusal to acknowledge the role of Islam in the violent extremism currently taking place around the world. Islamic terror? I just dont see it, the cover reads, complete with a picture of Obama with a blindfold across his face. Last Wednesday, Obama spoke at the White Houses summit on violent extremism, where he made the controversial claim that no religion is responsible for terrorism. People are responsible for violence and terrorism, Obama concluded. Yes, and this particular incident, people of Islamic faith are responsible for violence and terrorism. For many, this statement is the straw that is breaking the camels back. Why do you think the White House fails to acknowledge that what were seeing is in fact Islamic extremism? 
3	Neil deGrasse Tyson Thinks GMOs Originated 10,000 Years Ago?Heather Callaghan Neil deGrasse Tyson is an astrophysicist, Cosmos host, and is beloved for his sense of humor and putting complex concepts into laymans terms. He is an Internet sensation as the subject of memes and is paid homage in YouTube video series like Epic Rap Battles of History. After a talk, a French journalist asked Tyson allegedly about genetic modification. Tyson told GMO critics to chill out, but had more to say about how we have always altered the worlds biology to serve us for tens of thousands of years. According to Jason Louv in Why Neil deGrasse Tyson is Dead Wrong About GMOs, the question asked actually concerned trangenics: After the ruckus from the original video, Tyson took to Facebook to clean up the resulting butt-hurt, saying that this clip could not have addressed all the nuances of genetic modification and, that he doesnt speak French. Everything I said is factual, he wrote. So then he addressed some bullet points with his opinions. And again, they draw from the same basis of the logic in the video. Here is an excerpt from Mother Jones: Again, this is still a deflection from the original questioners alleged concern transgenics. For instance, GM plants and wild weeds are swapping genetic material, making the weeds unstoppable. That, and superweeds from pesticide-resistance are kind of the opposite of what we and crops need for survival. So, to pose a question about this does not warrant a chill out response. Also, its kind of ironic that hes suggesting that if we dont continue genetically modifying, we will go extinct. (How is that for the fear-factor?) While his original brush stroke (chill out) was rather broad, now he has compartmentalized the valid concerns people have over the cascading ecological effects that gene transmission introduces still on the basis of its what weve always done. (Which is not the type of science he proposes to believe in.) He is a genius indeed to pull off this belief-bending paradigm creation, much to the glee of science-trendies who call themselves skeptics and rationals. While collaborating with evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, Tyson once said: With a grim view like that, one could see where the urgency is coming from to defend man-made powers to manipulate forces of the universe. But then why put so much faith in the beneficence of corporate monopoly? At other times (below) he has beheld in awe, the powers of nature. However, it is his unrelated speech about science, evidence and questioning authority that are most interesting. So then, are some questions more equal than others? The divisiveness such comments in the video and Facebook response create is another reason to place principles above personalities to, ironically, take Tysons advice and not worship authorities (or bodies of them, like the vague reference to Science).

2	BREAKING: Trump Pulls Ahead Of Hillary In Final Hours... This Could Be It 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 has a 5.4 lead over Hillary right before the election. The latest numbers show Trump at 48% and Clinton at 42%. Clinton took a massive hit last week after the FBI announced they would be reopening the investigation into her use of a private email server as Secretary of State. 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 today? 
2	BREAKING: Lawmakers Closing On Obama For Helping ISIS According to recent reports, three separate committees in the House of Representatives announced on Friday that are launching investigations into allegations that President Barack Obama manipulated intelligence reports from Syria and Iraq. Republican Representatives Ken Calvert, Mike Pomeo and Brade Wenstrup will lead the investigations for the Armed Services Committee, Intelligence Committee and the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee to determine whether Obama deliberately manipulated intelligence reports to assist ISIS. In addition to looking into the specific allegations, the Joint Task Force will examine whether these allegations reflect systemic problems across the intelligence enterprise in CENTCOM or any other pertinent intelligence organizations, a jointed statement from the three committees read. A September report claims that 50 intelligence officials at CENTCOM had signed a letter claiming that intelligence on the Islamic State group had been doctored. The report also alleges that the Obama administration deliberately and knowingly punished any intelligence official who gave accurate assessments of terror group strength. Accusations come from Republicans and Democrats alike. I am deeply troubled by what I believe is doctoring that has taken place and has created an impression that we are doing better there [the Middle East] than we actually are, Representative Speier told reporters. What do you think? Is it time for Obama to face legal repercussions for his actions?

2	BREAKING: Obama Makes Sickening Announcement About His Plans To Force Christians To Do THIS Over the past few years, President Obama has demonstrated that he has an anti-Christian agenda, despite his claims that he is a man of faith. His actions tell a different story. Last year, Obama issued a controversial executive order to amend a previous order from President Lyndon B. Johnson to include protections for sexual orientation and gender identity when it comes to non-discrimination practices. Now, he is revisiting the order once again to include those who receive federal grants as well as federal contracts. This is not the first time Obama has tried to force faith-based organizations to accept the LGBTQ community with open arms, despite any religious objections. In doing so, he is forcing Christian business owners to put their beliefs and practices on the backburner. What do you think of Obamas recent order? 
1	BRONX, NYAfter months of public anticipation, the Bronx Zoo finally opened its new loitering-teens exhibit Saturday. The just-opened exhibit. The state-of-the-art exhibit, constructed over the past 10 months at a cost of $4.5 million, drew record crowds to the zoo this weekend. Loitering teens are indigenous to many urban and suburban areas across the U.S., but this is the first time they have been captured for display in a public zoo. 'They are fascinating,' said Raymond Fehr, 51, a member of the Bronx Zoo board of directors and the man who oversaw the development of the exhibit. 'The public will enjoy watching them hang out and smoke in an attractive natural setting.' The loitering-teens exhibit faithfully recreates the species' natural habitat, boasting a city-street facade that features a full-scale replica video arcade, piercing parlor and Taco Bell. A special 'concrete park' area, suitable for skateboarding, has also been included to give the teens exercise. According to Bronx Zoo director of exhibits John Gilkey, the zoo's 15 loitering-teen specimens appear to enjoy their new home and are responding well to their three daily feedings of Meximelts and Mountain Dew. 'They're really adjusting nicely,' Gilkey said. 'They've already started to spit, and I think that, within a couple of weeks, they'll be just about ready to start asking for spare change.' Despite the relatively smooth adjustment, one lesson zoo officials learned quickly was not to introduce older humans into the loitering teens' pen. When this happened, Gilkey said, the teens became enraged and ran around the cage screaming, 'You just don't understand me, mom!' Also of concern to zoo officials are the mating rituals of the teens, who appear to be awkward and ill-at-ease around members of the opposite sex. 'We're hoping to get them to mate,' Gilkey said. 'But, thus far, all they seem interested in doing is shoplifting magazines and hiding from someone they call 'Johnny Law.'' The Bronx Zoo's newest arrivals are a hit with the public. Plastic-toy replicas of the loitering teens are a best-seller at the zoo gift shop, and there is talk of opening a petting area so humans can interact with them on a limited basis. 'I like the one in the Charlotte Hornets jacket,' said zoo visitor Jenny Thaler, 9. 'He's got funny red dots all over his face.' If last weekend's visitor numbers continue, the loitering-teens exhibit has a chance at surpassing 'Women In Our Midst' as the biggest draw in zoo history. 
1	In a move designed to hasten the inevitable, billionaire Microsoft tycoon Bill Gates announced yesterday that from now on, he will be getting half. Gates, whose savvy and aggressiveness propelled his Microsoft corporation to the top of the business world and made him Americas richest man with an estimated fortune of $18 billion, announced his plan at a press conference yesterday from his Seattle-area compound. I get half, he explained. It has not yet been decided if Gates half will be taken straight down the middle or by liquidating all assets and dividing up raw capital. The question will be settled later this week by a special session of Gates half of the U.S. Congress. Dont touch anything until youre sure its not part of my half, Gates instructed the worlds citizenry yesterday via the several million 40-foot-high projection screens he has scattered throughout the globe. I dont want anyone messing up stuff in my half. Until everything can be clearly divided between Gates and persons who are not Gates, measures will be taken to ensure the integrity of Gates half. Citizens are instructed to remain in their homes, consuming a carefully monitored minimum of their perishables and subjecting their personal possessions to as little wear and tear as possible. In the event something belonging to Gates is consumed or damaged, Gates announced he will take punitive action, levying fines of up to $14 billion, and may even insist that offenders themselves be included in his half. Dont take from my half, the 36-year-old Gates said. Ice cream and cool cars are part of my half. Gates also expressed interest in possessing Apple, IBM and the former Soviet Union. You know, I own the Bettman Archive, Gates said. You cant look at it unless I say so. Gates half will be collected via an advanced subroutine built directly into Windows 95. Computer users without Windows 95 will have it automatically sent to them, with the cost of the program deducted from their half. Those without computers will be directed to special Gates-owned DNA-resequencing centers where a special bio-silicate form of Windows 95 will be injected directly into their bloodstreams. Once in the bloodstream, the Windows program is designed to breed virally at the base of its host brainstem and to begin work on calculating Gates half. Everyone must contribute to my half, Gates said. Any number, no matter how small, can be divided into two halves, one of which will be mine. Gates would not comment on the possibility of eventually increasing his share from a mere half to a controlling interest. Sources close to Gates would neither confirm nor deny rumors that Gates might offer up to 15 percent of his half in exchange for the other half of the world. The transitional period may be difficult, Gates said. But it will be quick. I hope that this time will be remembered pleasantly in the half of peoples minds that remain their own. 
2	Woman Caught Flipping Off Soldiers Grave Gets Backhanded With Instant Retribution In 2012, Lindsay Stone gained immense notoriety when a photo of her flipping off a sign at Arlington National Cemetery went viral on social media. The controversial image shows Stone lifting her middle finger to a sign at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier that reads Silence and Respect. Shortly after the picture was posted to Facebook, Stone and her coworker were fired from their jobs. Lindsey Stone hates the military and hates soldiers who have died in foreign wars, one comment on the photo read. You should rot in hell, another user commented. In fact, Stone received so many death threats after the image was posted that she was unable to leave her house for nearly a year after the photo went public. To this day, Stone claims that the photograph has impacted every aspect of her life. It was just a spur of the moment, total lapse of judgment, Stones father told the public, although he called his daughters actions disgraceful. She wasnt reacting to the place, he continued. She was reacting to the sign and she apologizes to everybody. What do you think? Did Stone deserve the backlash she received? 
2	North Carolina Has Just Added THIS As Requirement For Welfare To Strip The Undeserving Welfare is meant for those who actually deserve it. Those who are unable to work, who try hard but cant seem to get by. Especially our veterans. However, the system continues to be abused. North Carolina is leading the pack in trying to regulate the system, and keep out those who havent earned it. They have begun drug testing all individuals with benefits. They were incredibly surpised to find that 24% of the first batch tested positive for illegal drugs. Welfare money should not be going to this. North Carolina is running a program called Work First, where low-income families are forced to work in order to receive benefits. We support all of these new initiatives. Much of it has seen resistance, as it costs $55 per applicant to drug test. However, it is well worth it if it means that the money is going to the right place. Do you support this new policy?

Now, it appears that the entrepreneurial superstar is changing his tonebut not without a price. According to a tweet posted by Trump himself, hes willing to provide Obama with a lifetime of free golf on any of his courses. Given, of course, that the President gives his immediate resignation. While we all know Obama loves to shirk his responsibilities for the green, we doubt he will take Trump up on his offer. Still, we can dream, cant we? What do you think of Trumps offer? Tell us in the comments below! 
1	WINSTON-SALEM, NCA laborious eight-month-long task came to an end for Facebook user Arielle Stevens on Monday, as the college junior finally finished uploading the more than 12 million photos she took during her unforgettable six-day vacation to Paris and Madrid last spring. The online album, entitled Eurotrip 2012!!! was reportedly assembled from more than 15 terabytes of data spanning 960 16-gigabyte memory cards, each thoroughly documenting the landmarks, food, drinks, streets, buildings, plants, animals, people, signage, hotels, museums, sports, modes of transport, weather, and miscellaneous fun that Stevens and close friend Danielle Lu encountered along the way. It took me a while to get my vacation pics organized, but Ive finally gotten them all uploaded and added a caption for each one, said Stevens, who in the course of shooting the 12 million photos went through a few dozen Nikon Coolpix digital cameras. Everything is now available to see, from the 400,000 shots of the Madrid skyline taken at dusk from the roof of our hostel to the 120,000 of the row of cute Vespa scooters parked on the sidewalk next dooreven the 1.2 million from the night we arrived and went out to dinner with a group of Americans we met. Now comes the fun part of sharing them with all my friends so they can get a little taste of what it was like to actually be there, she added. The album reportedly features a preponderance of images of the same subjects taken from multiple angles and distances and in several different camera modes. From the Paris portion of the trip, the collection includes 78,000 pictures of a street performer captured from every possible direction as he does a human statue act, 34,000 of Lu at various zoom settings holding up a glass of Bordeaux, and 823,000 alternating grayscale and sepia-tone shots of an outdoor caf, which, according to the first caption, was adorrrrrable! Going through all these photos brings back so many amazing memories, said Lu, who appears asleep on a train in more than 750,000 photos. Its nice to think that now, when its cold outside and Im sitting here in my tiny cubicle, I can look at the 478,000 pictures of the stairs outside the Prado and remember how much fun it was to be on vacation. Im already thinking about my next trip, she continued, breaking into a broad smile at each of the 2.6 million shots of herself standing next to fountains. Although most of the 12 million photos are clearly legible, the album contains hundreds of thousands that did not come out as intended, many of whichincluding those of cobblestone streets taken while walking, of pigeons in mid-flight, and of boats off in the distance as seen through fogare either completely black, flashes of pure white light, or blurred beyond recognition. In addition, the immense gallery features countless images of subjects blinking or looking in the wrong direction. Oddly, sources noted that there seemed to be only one picture of the Eiffel Tower. Still, Stevens said, she cherishes every single picture from her trip, even the ones that arent perfect. I dont consider myself to be a professional photographer; I just took the 12 million pictures I thought were most interesting, said Stevens, stressing that she would rather have too many than too few. And besides, the quirky ones are some of my personal favorites. As of press time, sources reported that the album had received a total of three likes. 
1	Responding today to his nations ranking in a new international study measuring student performance, 14-year-old Izotk Rogelj told reporters he was more than a little surprised that even he and his classmates, all eighth-grade students from Slovenia, had outperformed their American counterparts on science achievement exams. I mean, I know theyre in desperate need of education reform over there, but those guys ranked four spots below a country where the average income is half what it is in the United States, said the flabbergasted pupil, noting that Slovenias national education budget of $2.8 billion in funding for every single basic primary, secondary, and tertiary institution was enough to buy maybe three microscopes. I understand the global recession has taken a toll on American education as much as anywhere else, but I live in an Eastern European nation that barely existed 20 years ago. And yet we manage to beat a nation with the highest GDP in the world? Pretty weird, right? Rogelj said that despite Americas shortcomings in education, he was hoping to go there for college one day. 
2	Barack Hussein Loses His Cool After Bill OReilly Completely Shuts Him Down On Live TV [VIDEO] After eight long years in the White House, Barack Obama is finally preparing to leave the office. With Obama getting ready to hand his responsibilities over to Trump, a damning clip from just before he was elected in 2008 has resurfaced. In the clip, Obama is completely destroyed by Fox News host Bill OReilly on live television. In the footage, then-Senator Obama claims that he has friends who are right wing. OReilly immediately asks Obama to name one friend of his that is a Republican. Of course, Obama stumbles over his words and fails to name the conservative friends he holds so dear. This comes just weeks after OReilly highlighted the many reasons Obama has failed the United States as a president. He argued that there are many things Obama could not conquer in his eight years in office that he hopes Trump will have a better hand on. First, targeted tax cuts for business, OReilly began. While at the same time, phasing out deductions that drain tax receives to the government. Mr. Trump is an expert at that and he will understand that in order to rebuild the military and roads, bridges, et cetera, you need cash. Also persuading corporations to bring the profits they are hoarding overseas back to invest in America would be a huge economic stimulator that would expand the economy and create well-paying jobs, OReilly continued. If corporations would commit billions to expansion, the financial markets will go wild. And the USA would take on tremendous economic momentum. To be polite, President Obama does not understand macro-economics and generally sees a private business as an opponent of social justice. Barack Obamas philosophy is to give folks stuff rather than setting up a robust private marketplace so they can earn their stuff, he added. Overseas, the Obama doctrine of containment through diplomacy has not worked and the pain has been immense. Millions of refugees are flooded into Europe, some of them terrorists. The suffering of poor people in Syria and Iraq is cruel, cruel, all because Barack Obama does not act aggressively against the Jihad. What do you think? Do you applaud OReilly for telling it like it is? 
2	Look What Just Happened To The Muslim Holy City Mecca On 9/11... Gods Judgement? [VIDEO] According to reports from Newsweek, a crane crash at the Grand Mosque in Mecca yesterday left up to 65 dead and 80 injured. The Saudi Civil Defense Directorate claims that strong winds caused the crash. The Crane belonged to the Bin Laden family, and rescue workers from the Civil Defense department and Saudi Red Crescent and Health Affairs are already on the scene. The annual pilgrimage to Mecca can bring more than 3 million people into the city at this time of year, and reports indicate that the mosque was significantly more crowded than usual on Friday. It is still unknown how many people were inside the building at the time of the incident. Social media is telling a different story of the eventclaiming that a lightning strike hit the crane. And others are claiming that this could be Gods judgment for the 9/11 attack, given that the incident happened on the 14th anniversary of that tragic day. What do you think? Is this a coincidence or something deeper? 
1	Despite intense unhappiness and an ever-widening emotional rift between them, devout Christian couple Linda and Benjamin Dollinger told reporters Monday that they have decided to stay married for the sake of their only true lord, God. 'We're afraid that if we get a divorce, He'll never forgive us,' said Benjamin, 37, who admitted that he and Linda had recently started arguing in their car with the radio on so that God wouldn't hear them. 'We try not to let on how bad things actually are, but I think that, at least on some level, He knows something is wrong.' Linda said that she and Benjamin plan to stay committed to their loveless marriage 'just until [they] die.' 
2	Kellyanne Conway Receives Amazing News Just In Time For The Holidays On Monday, the Electoral College officially cast their required votes from Donald Trump to be the next president. Kellyanne Conway made history by becoming the first female campaign manager in history to see her candidate make it to the White House. But the liberal media seems to be ignoring this completely. Although she didnt get the recognition she deserves, Conway received fantastic news this week when she was asked to be the grand marshal at a holiday parade in her home state. Conway returned to her native New Jersey to serve in Saturdays Christmas parade in Hammonton, where Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in the November election. She also received a key to the city. Conway was raised in Atco and graduated from St. Josephs High School in Hammonton in 1985. Before heading to college in Washington, D.C., Conway spent her modest summers working at Indian Brand Blueberry Farms. Today she has a highly successful career and four children who she cant wait to spend time with. Conway turned down the coveted position of White House Press Secretary for the Trump Administration, choosing instead to focus on her family. What do you think? Do you support Conway? Did she do an amazing job with Trumps campaign? 
2	Hillary Completely Turns On Our Nations Police For Killing Black People Recently, Hillary Clinton took to the stage and demanded that police stop killing African Americans. Americans everywhere were immediately frustrated that Hillary is choosing to perpetuate President Obamas anti-police rhetoric, which has led to an escalation of violence toward officers. Not to mention, the story that Clinton is telling is incredibly one-sided. Lets be real, rapper and produce Mr. Hopson tweeted. Black lives dont even matter to a lot of blacks. So how come all the sudden black lives matter when someone else kills us? That argument, while controversial, has been backed by some serious statistics. According to FBI Crime report: While only 6% of the U.S. population is identified as black and male, 57.9% of the persons legally killed by a private citizen in self-defense were black males. Lets be clear: officers who are out of line need to be investigated and prosecuted when necessary. But if were going to look at the death rates, its important to look at the complete issue. Ignoring statistics like this is criminal to anyone determined to solve this problem and improve the lives of the black community. 
2	Michelle Obamas News Health Plan Is Just Plain Creepy Clearly, when it comes to the health of Americans, Michelle Obama has some pretty extreme ideas. However, her latest idea is by far one of the oddest ideas weve heard from the Obamas so farand that is saying a lot. Recently, reports unveiled a plan from Michelles organization Lets Move to create talking water fountains. These fountains talk to people as they walk by. It also entertains the drinker as they are drinking from it, telling them the benefits of drinking water. According to reports, the fountain will start talking when a persons lips touch the water and while recite a series of phrases as long as the person is drinking. And while personally, we like to drink our water in silence, the organization feels that the words of encouragement will benefit people who are struggling to consume enough water per day. What do you think? Is Michelles plan absolutely ridiculous? 
3	Obama Making Good On Promise to Eliminate Free Speechselfnews Post Prior to the 2012 election,David Axerlrod, announced that Obama would push for aconstitutional amendmentto rollback free speech if he was re-elected. Obama is making good on that promise. Obamas promise to destroy free speech combined with the passage of the NDAA, constitutes a lethal cocktail for all freedom-loving Americans. The last of the Bill of Rights which will taken away in its totality is indeed the freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is the cornerstone of dissent, necessary civil disobedience and rebellion in the face of abject tyranny. Freedom of speech is the organizing principle for the people in response to its government. Without freedom of speech, there can only be tyranny. And where tyranny abounds, there is always unchecked abuse perpetrated against the citizens by the minions of the government. The government has a long of history of supporting attacks upon the First Amendment. John Adams was in support of the Alien and Sedition Acts which outright criminalized criticism of the government and its officials. History shows that Lincoln jailed protesters against the draft and the Civil War in general. President Wilson also jailed World War I era protesters. Franklin Roosevelt even took the unprecedented act of making a preemptive move against Americans, of Japanesebackground, byincarcerating them because they MIGHT pose a threat to the war effort in WWII. However, each of these incidents were standalone issues and ended as soon as the perceived crises had abated. What is going on in America in terms of an attack upon the First Amendment is unprecedented. The assaults upon First Amendment rights are not in response to a perceived crisis. The Obama administration attacks upon freedom of speech are not standalone events. And the scope of these attacks upon free speech are incremental and appearsto be aimedat eliminating all free speech, thus rendering the government and its officials immune from criticism. Two years ago, when Congress passed H.R. 347, entitled theFederal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act, it passed the House by a vote of 399-3 and hardly anyone noticed. Certainly, with this type of landslide vote, nobody in Congress seems to care about the FirstAmendment. H.R. 347 was designed to improve public groundsby moving all protesters elsewhere. The law claims it is merely an update to an old law, Section 1752 of Title 18 of the United States Code, that restricted areas around the president, vice president, or any others under the protection of the Secret Service. The original law was enacted in 1971 and amended in 2006. The law, in effect has not been fundamentally altered since its initial passage. However, what has significantly changed since 1971, are the types of events and individuals warranting Secret Service protection. Under the present law, any occasion that is officially defined as a National Special Security Event (NSSE) automatically warrants Secret Service protection. NSSEs can include college bowl games, major PGA golf tournaments, basketball championships,rockconcerts, and even the present Winter Olympics. The Super Bowl and the World Series have been declared a NSSE since 9/11. Further, it is the President who determines who is eligible for Secret Service protection under the NSSE provisions. This shields any and all public figures from legitimate protest. The net effect of H.R. 347 is to limit to any politician, public figure deemed by the President to be in some kind of danger. However, the Super Bowl, nor a rock concert constitutes government business. This is a clear abuse of power, but it does not stop with H.R. 347. Last springs revelations about the Justice Departmentsecretly seizing phone recordsat The Associated Press andobtaining a Fox News reporters email account have increased concerns closer to home. Close to my home, nearArizona State University hired Washington Times freelance reporter, Leonard Downie, who subsequently examined a range of Obama administration tactics that hinder government transparency. These include theunprecedented use of the Espionage Act in prosecuting media leaks, classifying government documents as secret when no harm could come from their release, increased government surveillance that jeopardizes the safety of news sources, Freedom of Information Act violations, and White House-produced content that cant substitute for independent, accountability journalism. David Sanger, chief Washington correspondent for The New York Times,saidthis is the most closed, control freak administration I have ever covered. Political dissent is protected under the First Amendment, as is political activity. The current administration is attempting to silence millions of Libertarians, Constitutionalists and Tea Partiers byattempting to passnew regulations which will destroy free speech rights. America, you need to pay close attention to this development. The IRS is trying to silence millions of Tea Partiers and third party candidates by destroying free speech rights. If these regulations are allowed to stand, Americans will be forever silenced. Please keep in mind that the following regulations only apply to third parties, grassroots groups and the Tea Party. These regulations will make it illegal to: 1. Mention a candidate up for re-election within 60 days of an election. That includes every single member of the House of Representatives. Effectively, you will not be able to petitionyourownelected representatives. 2. The aforementioned groups will not be allowed to register voters. Does this put anyone else in the mind of the old Jim Crow laws which were designed to prevent the registration of African-Americans. 3. Call for the election or defeat of a political candidate. This will effectively eliminate all recall provisions in State Constitutions. 4. Hold candidate forums so voters can decide who would best represent them In other words, primary election activities for third party candidates would be prohibited. This provision would cut the proverbial legs out from under any political party or movement. The IRS is trying to silence millions of American voters. Theyre trying to pass new regulations that will destroy our free speech rights and this constitutes a complete end run around Congress and ultimately the Constitution. I am calling for a massive campaign to protest this IRS action. You may send your comments to the IRS at thislink. There is a definitivereason why the Founding Fathers made the act of free speech the FIRST AMENDMENT to the Constitution. Without question, it is our most important right. When freedom of speech disappears from our political and social landscape, it is almost always a portend of very bad things to come. These events are the chest pains before the heart attack. We can be silent, like so many victims do, or we can take action in mass displays of civil disobedience. And all we have to do is to speak out.

2	REPORT: Michelle Obama Finalizing Divorce Papers This Month According to recent reports, Donald Trump is claiming that he has uncovered divorce papers belonging to theObamas. Allegedly, Trump is soon to claim that the documents show that Michelle and Barack were seriously considering separating. Trump started a fire in the media after he claimed that he would be making an announcement that would border on gigantic and possibly change the Presidential race. Although he has a questionable reputation when it comes to stating the facts, Trumps allegations are supported by rumors that have been circulating for years now. In a recent book called The Amateur, claims are made that Michelle Obama prepared divorce papers to separate in 2000, after his attempted to win a house seat in Chicago. Following a tremendous loss, Michelle allegedly felt that her husband was risking their stable and secure future. The book also claims that their marriage was so severely on the rocks that Obamas friends were concerned that he was suicidal. What do you think? Are the Obamas going to get a divorce? 
3	Researchers Offer Strange Answer to Anticipated Dengue Spikes Following VaccineHeather Callaghan There are no commercially available vaccines for the virus yet. But, theyve run into a big problem. Researchers watching vaccine development caution that there will be initial disease spikes with its use. Theres no argument about this observation. In fact, its admitted. But the explanation to ward off panic and ensure that people in other countries will take that future risk, is beyond a mental back flip. In a statement from Oregon State University, the idea is that disease spikes from the vaccine are natural; nothing to worry about: In fact, it will just be the natural result of complex interactions between less-than-perfect vaccine protection and routine fluctuations in the populations ofinsects who carry the diseases. Jan Medlock, an assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Oregon State University said: Our analysis suggests that if we develop and widely use a vaccine for dengue fever, there may later be spikes in the incidence of the disease that are two to three times higher than its normal level. We can explain why this will happen and show how, in the long run, vaccine use will clearly result in fewer cases of disease. Our concern is to warn people in advance about this issue, so that policy makers and the public dont freak out and lose faith in the vaccination programs. [emphasis added] This research, published in Epidemiology and Infection, was done by those at the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine and Clemson University, both of which supported the studies. Scientists used mathematical modeling to examine the quirks of infectious disease transmission that may lead to this quandary. The work was specific to dengue fever, but may also be relevant to other diseases for which vaccines are being sought, such as malaria, and in which the level of protection is less than total. Oregon State: The problem, if and when we develop and use a vaccine, is that it will provide some, but not complete protection, and it will interrupt the natural, fairly steady rate of infections among children, Medlock said. In this scenario, the beginning of a vaccination program will slow the numbers of children getting the disease for a while. But its expected that a dengue vaccine will not provide total protection against infection. Then, during a period when naturally fluctuating mosquito populations reach an unusually high level, a disproportionate number of children who are still vulnerable to infection and have never had the disease will become infected in a short period. They bemoan a loss of faith in the vaccination program. But their idea of a worse-case scenario is avoidance of the vaccine not the uptick in disease as a result. Some short-term spikes could even be as high as seven times the average rate, they said. Instead of solving the problem or innovating a new solution, they want people to push through the fear and get it eventually anyway, with hope of a dengue-less future. Medlock adds: In fact, we conclude in this analysis that over a 15-year period, a vaccination program will clearly reduce the number of overall infections. These significant spikes will mostly occur as the program is beginning. What we need to do is help people understand these forces so they anticipate them. Heres their other proposal: to literally vaccinate fewer people. This would cause higher numbers of people to get the disease in the long run but reduce the intensity of the spikes and the associated demands on a health care system. Isnt this getting a bit contradictory here? To ask for more faith during this crisis with responses like the above is surely asking a lot. A healthy person isnt sure if he will succumb to dengue from natures needle or by rolling up his sleeves for a future jab and neither are the researchers sure.

1	Returning to the field for the first time since fracturing his left ankle last season, Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter reportedly attempted to take one step on the grass Sunday and shattered the ankle in 148 different places. He kind of came down on it weird and the bones just burst into pieces, said Yankees manager Joe Girardi, confirming that Jeter suffered 38 compound fractures and had shards of bone jutting out everywhere. The sound of bones snapping and flesh tearing was so gruesome. Its really unfortunate, but honestly, we were surprised when Derek made it up the steps of the dugout. While the Yankees announced that Jeter will be placed on the 15-day disabled list, the team officials remain confident that the shortstop will be ready to return by opening day.

2	ALERT: Texas Defies Martial Law So Obama Does Something UNTHINKABLE Texas Governor Greg Abbott has stirred controversy after standing up against Operation Jade Helm 15, involving special operations units of the United States Military working with government and law enforcement in southwestern states. Abbott ordered the Texas State Guard to monitor the operation. I have no idea what hes thinking, Josh Earnest, White House press secretary told reporters. During the training operation, it is important that Texans known their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed, Abbott told the leader of the Texas State Guard. By monitoring the operation on a continual basis, the state guard will facilitate communications between my office and the commanders of the operation to ensure adequate measures are in place to protect Texans. Still, Earnest claims that there is nothing for Texans to worry about. The thing that I can say without having a lot of detailed knowledge about the particular exercise is that in no way will the constitutional rights or civil liberties of any American citizen be infringed upon while this exercise is being conducted, he declared. What do you think? Is Abbott justified in being concerned?

Im quite optimistic that for the foreseeable future, no other movie will even come close to topping the killer fucking battle scenes between those badass robots and crazy sea monster things, said Bernanke, who guaranteed that investors would not be wasting their money on the upcoming Guillermo del Toro action film, claiming that the awesome CGI effects were totally worth paying three extra measly bucks to see it in 3D. Have you seen the Hellboy movies? That guy comes up with totally crazy creatures. And you actually get to see goddamn robots, unlike those lame-ass Transformers movies. So much shit gets destroyed. Just a great popcorn flick. At press time, Wall Street continued to have unprecedented gains after Bernanke announced that the films star, Charlie Hunnam, has Next Big Thing written all over him.

1	Touting the over-the-counter products ability to effectively treat cold symptoms, pharmaceutical manufacturer Johnson & Johnson introduced Friday its new Sudafed 18-volt cordless Sinus Drill capable of providing immediate congestion relief. The Sinus Drill alleviates pain and discomfort by boring a small hole into the forehead or bridge of ones nose to release pressure, said Sudafed product manager Kelly Arrington, adding that the Sinus Drill, which comes with a set of four 1/8-inch to 1/2-inch carbide tip bits to accommodate a variety of bone densities, also clears inflamed nasal passageways by loosening mucus. For adults, we suggest drilling two holes every four to six hours. For children, just one hole is recommended, although for best results you can try coating the bit in honey to help lubricate its entry into the skull. For symptoms that continue to persist after one week, Arrington recommended Sudafeds Extra-Strength Sinus Jackhammer.

3	Doctor That Said Dont Vaccinate Targeted for InvestigationHeather Callaghan But they arent the highest authority. If they were, it wouldnt matter what they say. All would be Gospel. Or, people could simply choose which book they want themselves to adhere. What happens, however, when one doesnt get with the program? They must now lose the ability to guide patients and the public Proof of this could not be more obvious then in the cases of not only Dr. Sherri Tenpenny who was forced to cancel her Australian tour after the loving, caring pro-vaccine camp resorted to threats of violence but also, Dr. Jack Wolfson, the Paleo cardiologist who was recently vocal about not vaccinating children. In a very obvious and full-throttle move, the Arizona Medical Board is now investigating the doctor for what he said. At the same time, there are calls from experts to have such doctors licenses revoked because somehow, they are creating harm. When has a doctors right to not use vaccines ever been negotiable? Since when is expressing opinion grounds for having a medical license revoked? Look at the aggressive way CNN handles this. No prizes for guessing the media bias: This also means the doctor has the right to refuse using the product, just as they are not forced into using one medicine for all ailments, or surgery for headaches. No right to refuse for the one who went to med school? Big red flag. Gaslighting the public and placing blame on the possible spreaders of disease and using more force in revoking health freedom, will not bode well even if millions of lemmings come forth to squawk in unison. This egregious and outrageous campaign of mass hysterical proportions is in the measure gauge phase, set for things to come. Part of it includes making examples of doctors and nurses forced to wear scarlet letters masks if they dont play along. If they succeed in that, they can scare other doctors and nurses into acquiescence. No matter what, you cant be allowed to realize your own power or be anything other than a downloader of their message. If your doctor empowers you toward healing, theyll get squashed! Hunted. Revoked. Humiliated. Shamed. Falsely accused. An ancient recipe with modern tools. Dr. Sherri Tenpenny and Dr. Jack Wolfson are indeed modern day targets for an old fashioned witch hunt or else, why would words be a problem? The first casualty is expression for them, for you, for all the victims of deception or downloaded, doled out beliefs. No, no, we cant have that Recent posts byHeather Callaghan:

Since the controversial HB2 law went into effect, it has been met with outrage from the LGBT community and activists. The Obama administration gave North Carolina a deadline; either reverse or amend HB2 this week or risk losing federal education fundingwhich could be up to 2 billion dollars. Many Americans view the move by the Justice Department as bullying tactics. Lawmakers have decided to sue the Obama administration, clearly refusing to give into their tactics. White House press secretary has called HB2 a mean-spirited law. Attorney General Loretta Lynch is expected to announce the Justice Department will counter-sue N.C. of its bathroom law.

Groberg was in Afghanistan, fighting for his country, and when the enemy sent out a distraction in the form of 5 motorcycles, a man appeared from around the corner. Groberg immediately took action when he saw this suicide bomber and ran towards the man, throwing himself on top of the explosion. Groberg suffered serious nerve damage, hearing loss, and lost over 50% of his calf muscle. This happened back in 2012, and Groberg has been in rehab ever since.

1	Saying that hes wanted to do something a little more personal for some time now, director Michael Bay, known for such big-budget action films as Transformers and Armageddon, announced Tuesday the start of production on What Are The Odds?, a quirky romantic comedy about two unlikely explosions who fall in love. According to Bay, who also wrote the script for the film, the rom-com centers around a type-A helicopter blast who thinks it has it all figured out when a free-spirited diesel truck explosion unexpectedly enters its life and shakes everything up. Its really a nice little story because, on paper, these massive fireballs know they are wrong for each other, but they also have this undeniable connection they cant ignore, said Bay, adding that hed actually been thinking about making a pared-down film about the small, everyday interactions between detonations since studying film in college. This movie asks common, everyday questions like, How does a jet-fueled explosion find love in this day and age? and Can a high-octane blast really settle down? Or will it always chase any cheap-thrill oil tanker explosion any chance it gets? And the movies funny, too, Bay added. When a big misunderstanding leads to one explosion blowing up the Eiffel Tower and the other destroying the Empire State Building, well, lets just say audiences are going to get a kick out of that scene. From the fireballs memorable meet-cute, when the two flaming eruptions accidentally bump into each other after one wave of fire blows through the Holland Tunnel and the other detonates when a 16-wheeler careens over a highway overpass, to how they initially fall in love after razing a New York caf in a fiery inferno, Bay said that What Are The Odds? is, at its core, a love story. While Bay didnt want to give too much of the plot away, the director said that even though the explosions combustible materials couldnt be more differentjet fuel is lighter than diesel and has anti-microbial agents, he notedboth ultimately share a common desire to settle down and one day blow up the United Nations building. And, according to a smiling Bay, this is a film where dreams and desires definitely come true. You know, the more you live, the more you understand that an explosion, whether its a mushroom cloud pluming over Alcatraz or a fireball from a detonated extraterrestrial robot, only wants one thing: another explosion to share its life with, the Pearl Harbor director told reporters. I think I try to find that connection in all my films, but this movie gives me a chance to tell that story in a much more intimate way. Though shooting has just begun on the project, Bay said his lead pair of proximate pyrotechnics have the most chemistry of any two explosions hes ever had the privilege of working with. Bay remarked that the intimacy they share will certainly help during a particularly sexy scene when both fireballs intertwine with one another and blaze up an elevator shaft, and when the two have a major fight and burn Los Angeles to the ground. The cast is reportedly rounded out by the helicopter explosions best friend, a quirky fertilizer plant explosion, and the truck explosions father played by a very funny James Brolin. There is definitely the typical rom-com staples in this movie, but the film has a lot of depth and tells a story about relationships that I think moviegoers will really connect with, Bay said. Buildings come crashing to the ground, airports go up in flames, the Brooklyn Bridge gets incinerated, thousands of cars get blown up, and Mt. Rushmore gets turned into dust. Its a departure, for sure, he added, but I think it will be interesting for audiences to see this side of me. According to studio sources, the budget for What Are The Odds? is $250 million. 
3	Dow Brings Back An Agent Orange Ingredient for New GM PlantsSayer Ji, Contributor Dow AgroSciences (a subsidiary of Dow Chemicals) recently announced their development of genetically-engineered corn, soybean, and cotton plants metabolically resistant to the herbicide 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), a major ingredient in Agent Orange. What this means for our future is that, if approved for use, vast regions of our country will soon be sprayed with a chemical that has been linked to over 400,000 birth defects in Vietnam. How did we end up here? History is repeating itself before our eyes. Dow Chemicals and Monsanto, joined at the karmic hip, both manufactured Agent Orange for use in Vietnam, and both are notorious for minimizing the adverse health effects associated with exposure to the agent. Neither corporation learned from its mistakes, largely because the US government underwrote the risk of using the chemical, and therefore shielded them from the bulk of the legal and financial fallout. But this lack of culpability has now set up the conditions for a reliving of the horrors of systemic herbicide exposure, only this time on American soil, with Monsanto choosing glyphosate (also a birth-defect causing chemical), and Dow Chemical sticking with its old time favorite. The two corporations are now pitched in a heated battle for dominance, as Monsantos once global hegemony over genetically engineered staple crops like soy and corn began to falter, in the following four ways: 2) Insects began to develop resistance to Monsantos Bt gene, which was engineered into their plants as a natural insecticide, conferring theoretical resistance to Bt-sensitive pests. 3) Research on glyphosate, the major active ingredient in Roundup, which has been used at the rate of 80,000 tons in the US in 2007 alone, began to accumulate, linking it to dozens of serious adverse health. 4) Glyphosate was found to contaminate our air, food and groundwater. Given these fatal flaws in Monsantos once impenetrable armor, Dow AgroScience is positioning its new GE plants as a next-generation solution to the problems of glyphosate and Bt resistance. However, by engineering what amounts to Agent Orange-resistance into their new and improved crops the potential environmental and health fallout to exposed areas is nothing less than horrific. Do we need to view pictures of the victims of Agent Orange to be reminded of how toxic the ingredients in this herbicide are? (Warning: the images are graphic). Instead of learning from Monsantos colossal mistakes (which happens when you play geneticist-as-God and use a broad spectrum poison to kill all but your chosen plants) Dow AgroSciences solution is to multiply the problem by a factor of three, creating the first-ever, three-gene, herbicide-tolerant staple crops. While Dow AgroScience claims that 2,4 D resistance will not present the same problem that Roundup resistance did for Monsanto, the science to support these marketing claims is not on their side. In a recent article published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States, researchers reviewed Dow Chemicals own published research on 2,4 D resistant crops,and found it highly misleading and inaccurate. They noted: In their recent article, we feel that Wright et al. (1) [Dow AgroSciences researcher] misrepresented the potential for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)resistant weeds in 2,4-Dresistant cropping systems and exaggerated the sustainability of their approach to addressing glyphosate-resistant weed problems in agriculture. They also noted: We were surprised that Wright et al. (1) stated that only very few 2,4-Dresistant weed species have evolved without quoting a specific number. We checked the database that they used to support this claim (2) and were alarmed to learn that, globally, 28 species across 16 plant families have already evolved resistance to the synthetic auxin herbicides, the mode of action to which 2,4-D belongs. Of these, 16 are known to be resistant to 2,4-D specifically (for comparison, 21 species are resistant to glyphosate globally). Furthermore, the claim that 2,4-D resistance is unlikely to evolve because of the complex and essential functions that auxin plays in plants is unsubstantiated. In a nutshell, 2,4 D and 2,4 D resistant crops are not a solution to the underlying problem of herbicide resistance in genetically engineered crops. In the same way that we have created the monster of antibiotic-resistance super-bugs like MRSA (methillicin-resistant staphylococcus aureus), continually developing more and more toxic chemicals to combat a problem that can not be solved with them, Nature will ultimately survive the manmade systems that seek to dominate her modes of production; the question is whether we will survive ourselves, if we continue down this path much longer.

3	Disturbing Forced Vaccine Push in The Andy Griffith ShowHeather Callaghan Sheriff Andy Taylor, played by Andy Griffith, is a beloved figure more so now with the unprecedented rash of police brutality. It is his quality of standing up for the citizens of Mayberry and their rights that creates the everymans hero. He vividly contrasts with the frantic Barney Fife, who is always trying to wield a loaded gun, spy on citizens and usher in a dictatorial Big Brother police state in the tiny, quiet town. Yet, what happens when there is a glaring inconsistency? Do you feel your stomach tighten up when you see the upholder of rights going to great lengths to circumvent them? In the episode below, Andy will make sure, by any means, that a country bumpkin by the name of Rafe Hollister gets the tetanus vaccine he doesnt want. Rafe is considered the leader of the bumpkins, and if he gets one, they all will follow his lead. It is actually Andy Griffith himself who plays out the leader to a relaxed audience who wants to see him get the girl and finish the job of doing whats right. He runs over Hollister using multiple tactics so that he can please an attractive county nurse who just doesnt know what she can do to force the backwards man to do whats good for him. Andy is the hero to figure out the way to get Hollister to submit for the good of.Hollister? Just who is this episode trying to convince, anyway? What would citizens in 1962 have done if Sheriffs and public health officers had come to their door to force injections on them? Readers, if you remember watching this episode that year, I would love to know what it was like for you to see it. Even more disturbing is watching Andys behavioral-psychology tactics blossom throughout the episode. Whereas the shows charm often relied on Andys gracious social diplomacy, this time he uses that ability to turn it against Rafes will, thereby betraying him for a nurses kiss. The nurse promised her supervisor shed have 100% cooperation on the shots and doesnt want to look like a fool. Sounds like they really care about Rafes health. Quote: With a fellow like Rafe, you dont just walk up and say let me give you a tetanus shot. [Andy laughs] You hafta kinda make him trust ya first. Gain his confidence. Well ya sneak up on him is whatcha ya do. While the nurse keeps trying to use blunt authority and shot records, Andy prefers to sell the obviously uneducated Rafe on the idea by telling him hes been cheated out of healthcare. Force is still force, however, and playing on someones ignorance doesnt change that. While Andy works his magic, the nurse gets the injection needle readyaim!.but Rafe will have none of it. He adamantly refuses this should have been the point where Andy and the nurse turn around and leave, but they dont. Instead, they continue to needle him until they step over his will. Barney steps in to offer ridiculous force, so that the viewer sees that in the end, gentle coercion is the way to get someone to do what they do not want. Barney offers to help the nurse try again and says, Andys too soft. Now Rafe Hollisters like a child and hes gotta be treated like one. You dont beg a child to do something, you tell him. Nice thing to say about the guy you get your food from. Barney goes to make him take the shot but gets a few shots aimed at him in return. Rafe gets arrested for shooting at folks who were intruding on his property to force him to get a shot. In jail, hes told that no ones going to force him to take a shot against his will. This is when we get a conspicuous public health announcement from the nurse who explains the dire health need for the life-saving vaccine. And dont you care about your wife and children? In the end, Andy successfully deploys reverse psychology mixed with overblown death scares and sad music to get Rafe to run for the vaccine. Readers only need to briefly research tetanus and the vaccine and its history to see if it was really the public health scare necessary to justify pushing the jab on the town.Today, it is included in the DPT vaccine. I dont want to die! exclaims Rafe. The public health service announcement gets more ridiculous from there. Andy physically holds Barney down for the shot. Thats entertainment? Even though Rafe, in the next season, will woo the towns elite with his singing voice and challenge stereotypes against poor country folk in this episode he has been cast as the dumb, stubborn, backwards-and-barefoot country bumpkin whos too imbecilic to know whats good for him. I dont think I need to spell out any more underlying messages here it is no accident that a beloved TV show would choose a coerced medical procedure for its main plotline just a sprinkling that will pass in order to enjoy the next one. While being entertained, the underlying message sticks for a lifetime. One that says get with the times you dont want to be a stupid, backwards, anti-science/medicine outcast do ya? Hold out your arm! The County Nurse is from season 2, episode 24. If this YouTube video ever becomes unavailable, you can watch The Andy Griffith Show currently on Netflix streaming.

1	Orioles designated hitter Jim Thome was forced to leave in the fourth inning of Sundays game against the Boston Red Sox after complaining about tightness in his pants. Something just didnt feel right and I could barely walk, said Thome, who caused concern for teammates and coaches as he grimaced while gingerly ambling off the field. It really pinched in the thighs and restricted movement in my legs. It even hurt to sit. I hope this doesnt keep me out of the lineup for too long. The trainers tried to help me stretch out the fabric but it was still awfully stiff. Thome, who has suffered from chronic trouseritis for much of his career, received good news Monday when the MRI revealed that the 42-year-old did not tear his pants.

They attempted to remove the 9/11 cross from the September 11 Museum, they tried to ban the motto In God We Trust, and now they are speaking out against an Air Force decision to overturn a ruling that So help me God be optional at the end of the oath of enlistment. An airmans career will be coming to an end unless he recognizes God in his oath of reenlistment, Allen West shared on his website. Monica Miller, an attorney for Appiginani Humanist Legal Center in Washington, calls the decision unbelievable. While were amused by Millers reaction, were more relieved that the military can now focus on some more important issues. 
2	BREAKING: Watch Hillary Clinton Get Caught In Massive Lie On Live TV Representative Trey Gowdy, chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, recently called Hillary Clinton out for being a liar after she claimed on CNN that she never had a subpoena. Following the claim, Gowdy released a subpoena issued on March 4. The committee has issued several subpoenas, but I have not sought to make them public, Gowdy stated. I would not make this one public now, but after Secretary Clinton falsely claimed the committee did not subpoena her, I have no choice in order to correct the inaccuracy. Gowdy went on to claim that his committee immediately subpoenaed Clinton personally after learning the full extent of her unusual email arrangement with herself and would have done so earlier if the State Department or Clinton had been forthcoming that State did not maintain custody of her records and only Secretary Clinton herself had her records when Congress first requested them. Despite these efforts, Clinton was more than happy to lie to interviewers, accusing them of making so many assumptions about her private emails. Ive never had a subpoena, Clinton argued. Theres nothing, again. Lets take a deep breath here. Everything I did was permitted by law and regulation. What do you think of Clintons email records? Is she hiding something? 
3	Government Agency Classifies Journalists with TerroristsDerrick Broze The Guardian reportedon the program which monitored emails to and from journalists working for media organizations in the U.S. and the UK. In one single day, in less than 10 minutes, the GCHQ collected 70,000 emails, including emails of journalists with the BBC, Reuters, the Guardian, the New York Times, the Sun, NBC, and the Washington Post. The emails were collected through the GCHQ accessing the fiber-optic cables known as the backbone of the internet. The communications were then shared with staff on the agencies intranet. Even more disturbing is a security assessment which listed investigative journalists as a potential threat to security. The document was shared among intelligence agencies promoting the idea that the activities of journalists were as much of a threat as foreign intelligence, hackers, and criminals. The agencies were specifically concerned with investigate journalists who specialise in defence-related exposs either for profit or what they deem to be of the public interest. Security assessments released by the GCHQ also list journalists between terrorism and hackers, in some cases listing terrorists as a lower priority than investigative journalists. Terrorism is seen as a moderate threat compared to the work and tactics of investigative journalists. The documents warn journalists and reporters may take aformal approach or an informal approach, possibly with off-duty personnel, in their attempts to gain official information to which they are not entitled. The Guardian reports that senior editors and lawyers in the UK are demanding the introduction of a freedom of expression law as fears over growing police surveillance granted by the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (Ripa). The fight for press freedom is not exclusive to the UK, however. Journalists in the US face monitoring by a host of federal agencies, including the NSA. It is also important to remember that President Obama has continuously persecuted whistleblowers and built a reputation around a lack of transparency and unfriendly relations to the press. In 2014the Columbia Journalism Review reportedon the U.S. dropping 13 spots in a global index on freedom.Delphine Halgand, the US Director for Reporters Without Borders, said 2013 was marked by Chelsea Mannings 35-year sentence and the pursuit of Edward Snowden and journalists such as James Risen. During the summer of 2014 thirty-eightjournalistssent aletter to President Obamacalling for more transparency from the White House. The groups accused the President of censorship and apolitically-driven suppression of the news. Recent research has indicated the problem is getting worse throughout the nation, particularly at the federal level, wroteDavid Cuillier, SPJs President and the letters author. Journalists are reporting that most federal agencies prohibit their employees from communicating with the press unless the bosses have public relations staffers sitting in on the conversations. In October 2013 the Committee to Protect Journalist released a report titledLeak investigations and surveillance in post-9/11 America. The report covers the Obama Administrations attacks on the free press and implementation of surveillance measures that threaten free and independent journalism. Most recently,USA Today Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page stated that the Obama Administration was more restrictive and dangerous than any other administration. It is clear that governments around the world are working to restrict press freedoms and consider those who work to expose the crimes of governments as threats. Totalitarian regimes throughout history have used political assassinations and censorship to silence critics. The United States, and the United Kingdom in 2015 are no different than oppressive regimes of the past. Derrick Broze writes for TheAntiMedia.org, where this first appeared.

3	Oh, the irony! Smart grid control software maker gets hackedMadison Ruppert, Contributor The smart grid system, which companies like Telvent (which is owned by Schneider Electric) are involved in, is currently being pushed by corporate-sponsored studies as well as major legislative efforts. In a letter written to their customers, Telvent revealed that they realized their network had been breached on September 10, 2012. The network wasnt only breached; the hackers also were able to install malicious software on the companys network. According to KrebsOnSecurity, which first reported the breach and implicated Chinese hackers in the attack, the attacker(s) were able to steal project files related to one of its core offerings OASyS SCADA [Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition] a product that helps energy firms mesh older IT assets with more advanced smart grid technologies. KrebsOnSecurity stated that Telvent is still investigating the attack but in a precautionary move they disconnected their data links between the affected parts of their networks and clients. Although we do not have any reason to believe that the intruder(s) acquired any information that would enable them to gain access to a customer system or that any of the compromised computers have been connected to a customer system, as a further precautionary measure, we indefinitely terminated any customer system access by Telvent, the letter added. Telvents OASyS DNA system is supposed to integrate the corporate network of a utility company with the networks of control systems that manage the actual distribution of electricity. Such a breach is no minor issue, especially since this is the type of technology legislators and corporations are pushing towards. Telvent claims that their system is the hub of a real-time telemetry and control network for the utility grid, and they claim the system plays a central role in Smart Grid self-healing network architecture and improves overall grid safety and security. One must wonder if they will continue to claim it improves overall grid safety and security after such a major breach. This is also quite serious because Telvents OASyS DNA system is also used in oil and gas pipeline systems in North America along with some water system networks according to Dale Peterson, the founder and CEO of Digital Bond, a security firm specializing in securing industrial control systems. The breach raises concerns that hackers could embed malware in project files to infect the machines of program developers or other key people involved in a project, explains Threat Level. This fact is quite noteworthy because we now know that the now-infamous Stuxnet spread itself by infecting project files in an industrial control system made by Siemens. According to Peterson, this method is quite a powerful way to infect the systems of customers since the project files are passed from vendor to customer with full rights to modify anything and everything in the customers system through those project files. In addition, an attacker could leverage the infected project files to get insight into the operations of a target. This could enable them to identify vulnerabilities so they can design more devastating attacks on critical infrastructure systems on the future. We are aware of a security breach of our corporate network that has affected some customer files, said Telvent spokesman Martin Hannah in a telephone call with Wired. Were working directly with our customers, and they are taking recommended actions with the support of our Telvent teams, said Hannah. And Telvent is actively working with law enforcement, with security specialists and with customers to ensure that this breach has been contained. However, Hannah would not delve into if hackers had actually downloaded project files or altered them in any way. This is hardly surprising since Patrick Miller, the president and CEO of EnergySec, a non-profit group focused on improving the security of energy companies, pointed out that project files reveal highly sensitive information about a specific customers network and operations. Almost all of them will give you some details about the architecture and, depending on the nature of the project, it may go deeper, Miller said to Threat Level. To make matters even worse, project files can enable hackers to identify the key players in a given project and thus conduct additional highly-targeted attacks in the future. Miller also stated that project files could be manipulated in order to sabotage entire systems. If youre going to do a sophisticated attack, you get the project file and study it and decide how you want to modify the pieces of the operation, said Peterson. Then you modify the project file and load it, and theyre not running what they think theyre running. Peterson said that companies with good security should have a system already in place to log access to project files and track changes made to project files but most companies simply dont. Interestingly, a mere two days after Telvent discovered the hack, they announced a newly formed partnership with U.S.-based computer security firm Industrial Defender. The partnership is reportedly aimed at integrating Industrial Defenders Automated Systems Manager (ASM) with their own system in order to expand its cybersecurity capabilities for critical infrastructure. Honestly, it would be hard to make this whole situation more ironic if you tried. Unsurprisingly, Industrial Defender did not responds to any of the questions posed about the breach at Telvent or the odd timing of their partnership announcement. According to Miller, copycat hackers will likely now recognize the potential value of targeting industrial control system vendors and thus increase their focus on other vendors in the future if theyre not already doing so. If I were a vendor and knew this had happened to Telvent, I should be concerned, Am I next? asked Miller. It will be interesting to see how the dialogue around smart grids continues now that we have a clear case showing just how dangerous and vulnerable a centralized smart grid would be.

1	Area couple Tom and Becky Witthauser credited the successful resolution of their ongoing marital conflicts to their mutual hatred of their marriage counselor Monday, describing him as the 'jag-off whose prissy, ineffectual demeanor brought us closer than we've been in years.' The Witthausers enjoy a newfound closeness, thanks to their hatred of therapist Roger Verbicki (below). The Witthausers, married eight years, began visiting Dr. Roger Verbicki, 42, a psychologist and accredited couples counselor, in May after months of strife threatened to end their union. Holding hands and gazing lovingly at each other, they described their first fateful meeting with 'the insufferable' Verbicki. 'At the time, we could barely make eye contact,' Tom said. 'But about halfway through the first session, we started casting these sideways glances, because we just hated this guy. We could both feel it.' 'After our first session, I told Becky, 'That guy is so unlikeable, like the way he asked us to call him Dr. Roger,'' Tom said. 'And I said, I hated him too!' Becky said, finishing Tom's sentence. 'He was such a putz, like he's Dr. Phil or something. Our buddy. Gonna help us through this. What a loser.' The Witthausers said they can barely maintain their composure during their weekly meetings, due to Verbicki's various mannerisms and affectations. His nasal voice, sallow complexion, stained teeth, elbow-patched corduroy blazers, and affinity for herbal tea are among the traits cited by the Witthausers. Singled out for particular ridicule was Verbicki's tendency to rest his face against his thumb and index finger, and scratch his lower lip. Therapist Roger Verbicki. 'I just want to beat the guy up,' Tom said. 'And I've really learned to appreciate Tom for that,' Becky said. Tom demonstrated his imitation of Dr. Verbicki, which Becky described as 'adorably mean.' 'Well, if done in the proper manner, I think it would be very beneficial,' said Tom, lampooning Verbicki's frequent use of the phrase 'if done in the proper manner' and mispronunciation of the word 'beneficial.' The couple laughed and embraced each other. The Witthausers reported that they started communicating with each other soon after their therapy sessions began, if only to express their revulsion toward their counselor. By spending time together to complain about Verbicki's habits, the couple's romance was rekindled. 'We spent hours walking beside the lake, or drinking wine and listening to music, holding hands, and complaining about the way Dr. Roger's mouth hangs open, or how he taps his knees every time he gets up out of his chair,' Becky said, adding that the mutual sentiments helped the couple realize how much they still enjoyed each other's company and how indispensable they were to each other. 'I can't imagine trashing Dr. Roger with any other person, really,' Tom said.

2	BREAKING: What Happened At Hillarys ER Visit Just Leaked... Trump Was Right Youve probably already seen the video of Hillary Clinton collapsing at the 9/11 memorial last week. Now, new information is released that could give more insight into the lies shes trying to feed the American public. According to reports, Clinton was planning to go to an emergency room after he collapse, but decided it was more important to keep the details of her health a secret. Secret Service protocol mandated that she be taken to a state-designated Level I Trauma Center, but one of her staffers decided this wouldnt look too good for her campaign. Originally, Clinton claimed she left the memorial early because she felt overheated but they later changed this story. Health professionals came forward with claims that Hillary had pneumonia. As soon as she got into the vehicle, she was feeling fine, campaign spokesman Glen Caplin told reporters. Based on an assessment of her condition and after having conferred with her physician, the staff and the Secret Service thought it was appropriate. On Monday, Clinton claimed she kept her diagnosis secret because she didnt think it was going to be that big of a deal. What do you think of these new reports?

'I hate to admit it, but they made me a scapegoat for the overall lack of leadership and inability to make in-game adjustments,' Brown said. 'It didn't seem to matter how hard I worked designing ineffective plays or putting the other team's inferior talent in a position to win, because they were going to make me the fall guy.' Brown told reporters that executives in the Cavaliers front office should do some soul-searching and evaluate how their own poor performances led to the hiring of such a shitty-ass coach in the first place.

2	Obama Caught In MASSIVE Lie About ISIS According to recent reports, the Defense Departments inspector general is currently investigating whether intelligence reports about the progress of the United States campaign against ISIS have been altered to be more optimistic. The issue was first raised by the New York Times, when they reported that at least one member of the Defense Intelligence Agency had alerted authorities that officials at U.S. Central Command were reworking intelligence assessments intended for policymakers. Now, an investigation has reportedly been launched into the matter. At this time, it is unknown which assessments were altered or when, but the source did confirm that the investigation is focused on military officials. Under federal law, intelligence officials have the ability to bring claims of wrongdoing to the inspector general. United States officials have confirmed that both House and Senate Intelligence Committees have been advised of the claims. What do you think of these claims? 
1	In an unprecedented display of international cooperation from the Middle Eastern nation, Iran reportedly pledged to end the countrys burgeoning nuclear weapons program in exchange for detailed schematics for the construction of an atomic bomb. In the spirit of compromise, the nation of Iran promises that, should a Western nation supply us with blueprints for the design and assembly of a fission bomb, we will immediately put a stop to our nuclear initiative, said Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, calling the terms of this proposed agreement fair, equitable, and well within reason. Of course, well also need detonators and a launching mechanism, as well as the expert guidance of the worlds top physicists and engineers. But once we have that, our nuclear weapons program will be a thing of the past. You have my word on that. At press time, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry had persuaded Ahmadinejad to accept a more reasonable offer of $50 million in nuclear research funding and 200 kilograms of weapons-grade plutonium. 
3	Has The Quest For Hi-Tech Become a Form of Psychosis?Bernie Suarez One of the greatest deceptions, and now an arguably new mental infirmity, is the idea that we (humanity) need more and more technology in our lives. We are all being told and led to believe that whatever machines we have now are not enough and never will be. We are led to believe that there must be a way to make it better, faster, stronger or more effective. There is much logic to this argument which I can appreciate. After all, who doesnt want something to become better? Why would someone not want something to work better? Better is good, right? Anything that is made to work better and more improved, one would think, is naturally the best option. But is this really true? No it is not and heres why. Nowhere in nature do we see such desperate pushing for improvement. Only humans seem to have the weakness and defect of not ever being satisfied. Nowhere in the animal kingdom does this irrational urge to make things better and better and better, even far and beyond the point where the usefulness of the machine is adequate and nearly perfect. In fact, even within humanity there are few if any behaviors that when pursued continuously and obsessively beyond the point where its needed is not considered an obsession or disorder of some kind. Example: If one only lives to make money and cares not about anything else, one can reasonably observe that this is a disorder. Or if someone only seeks love to the point of not earning money or taking care of responsibilities, that too would be perceived as perhaps a form of disorder or imbalance. The obsessive non-stop irrational quest for newer and newer technology, however, is looked upon as good by society regardless of how much damage it does to humanity. There seems to never be an end to the quest for technology. Technology is now becoming one of the greatest obstacles preventing humanity from thriving. We are natural creatures, we are part of nature and we are supposed to contribute to the flow of nature not fight against it. Technology is created by the human mind, only this technology is not being guided by the laws of nature, ethics, morality, good will, health goals or spiritual enhancement. The medical industry tries to sell us the uses of technology and how it can cure, diagnose or fight diseases, but no one considers that many of these diseases were created by technology to begin with. It takes technology to insert 10 teaspoons of sugar in a Pepsi Cola can, technology is responsible for the dangerous carcinogens in our environment and it takes technology to build the early phase of a robot designed to control if not destroy humanity in the future. From mind control, to surveillance, to human extinction with drones and other weapons of mass destruction, the obsession with technology has become a major threat to humanity. Given the state we are in, it is becoming more difficult to excuse the irrational love and desperate quest for more and more technology. This new psychosis finds itself predominantly in the circles of government and mega corporations as companies like Google continue to search and research for more and more technology that will make the new world order and the global prison bullet proof to opposition. You get the feeling Google, NASA, Microsoft, Apple, NSA and many other organizations are simply not on our side. They, and many other technology entities are working hard to set you up for enslavement. From cars that now have GPS and remote control, to all the new smart phones that destroy your privacy, to megastores keeping track of your shopping habits, none of these applications are improving our mental, spiritual, and holistic lives. As we chronicle the road to modern-day tyranny, technology is at the center of it all. None of this would be possible without an unusual amount of energy being applied to this cause. That unusual amount of energy can only come from a mind that is functioning abnormally. These are the rules of nature. I do not believe this technology quest psychosis that has overwhelmed us in the last century will end well. I do not believe there is much good that will come out of this sick state of mind. In a perfect world we would harness the technology in a good way and advance helpful technology only. Many have hopes for this, (as do I) but unfortunately the bogeymonsters have the majority of the technology, the keys to the laboratory, and the psychopaths willing to pay the scientists and engineers to brainstorm more and more ways to enslave humanity. As a result of this technological addiction some are rising to focus on how to advance the technology for good. And yes, I agree, overall, technology has a good side to it and some good has come out of this. Unfortunately, this small amount of good neither justifies the quest nor nullifies the bad. The questions we have to ask are when will the quest stop? Is it possible for this technology obsession to stop? Where is the line drawn and who draws it? Is there anything we can learn from history about this topic? Are there any examples of natural history that we can draw from to assure ourselves that this experiment wont end in a disastrous way? Can nature as a whole tolerate the actions of a species that draws no lines on where to stop because a small element within the species is paying for the progression of its personal ambitions? Is this modern-day scenario a possible resemblance to what may have happened to the so-called lost city of Atlantis thousands of years ago as documented by Plato and others? The technology psychosis is on a wild ride at the expense of humanity; and the lust for more of it, I believe, is a reflection of an illness. Take a minute and consider the issue and ask yourself, what are we doing? Humanity is not naturally designed to commune and harmonize with machines that emit dangerous electromagnetic waves and impulses. No, this is not or ever has been natural. Humans were naturally designed to harmonize with nature not machines. The truth is that we had better consider this issue before humanity becomes extinct. We are already on the verge of extinction. Do the math: The list goes on and on. Its time to focus our attention on what I believe is another expression of the control systems psychosis, that being the obsession and need to continue and continue with technology advancement. This psychosis almost certainly guarantees the destruction of humanity. Unless a miracle happens, we have no chance at stopping this mentally diseased mindset. Stopping the control systems technology obsession would have to come from within the control system and that doesnt seem very probable any time soon. Ask yourself, who in our military will call off the weather modification programs and shred the paperwork? That is how serious our problem is. Since there is almost no way of stopping this road we are on, and since our only hope seems to be the rise of counter-technology, let us step back and realize what weve gotten ourselves into. No one is talking about this mass technology obsession psychosis from a psychological standpoint but will that still be the case if and when we kill ourselves off? Ultimately this is just another symptom being expressed by the psychiatric psychopath patients that many of us refer to as government, the control system, the Illuminati, the new world order, the global elite and other names. This control system is the actual predominant expression of psychosis in humanity. A topic I will cover in details later, including the very serious police psychosis which has swept the nation and is affecting the majority of police in America. The days of attributing psychosis to individual people, only, has to come to an end, and we must see what is wrong and identify the various harnessed mass psychosis that very much exists within our midst.

3	New Campaign Exposes Hypocrite Nanny Bloombergs Anti-Gun AgendaLily Dane Now the National Rifle Association is firing back with a round of ads of their own. The Kim ad is part of the NRAs Meet the Real Michael Bloomberg campaign. NRA spokesman Jennifer Baker explained the purpose of the campaign: MeetBloomberg.comexposes the truth about Nanny Bs agenda and explains that he is now targeting women especially mothers via fear tactics. Remember, his group Silly Moms Demand Action has tried to force companies like Kroger to ban guns in their stores, with no success. Theyve also made fools of themselves by making ridiculous claims about open carry groups attempting to intimidate them. Is it really a surprise that the narcissistic, I-know-whats-best-for-you Bloomberg is targeting females? He has a long history of degrading and harassing women: Nice. But hey, Nanny B knows more than the rest of us, right? Sometimes, our freedoms HAVE to be infringed upon, because we dont know what is in our best interest. Bloomberg is an elitist control freak who has accomplished nearly NOTHING to help reduce gun violence, despite investing millions for his crusade. And, he has armed bodyguards to protect him. When asked about this astounding hypocrisy,Erika Soto Lamb, who is a spokesperson for Everytown for Gun Safety, replied with this: Or, could it be that Nanny B thinks HIS life is worth protecting, but those of the common people are not? 
2	George Soros Makes Huge Move To Boycott Israel Amid the recent state of affairs, it has become increasingly clear that the left seems to have problems with Israel. According to some liberals, Israel is a practitioner of colonialism and are actively attempting to oppress others. Now, George Soros and other left-wing activists have started to speak out against Israel. According to WZ, Soros has decided to sell his stock in SodaStream, and Israeli soda product. The action is his feeble attempt to stop supporting a company that sustains the Israeli occupation of Palestine. According to a spokesman from the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, the Soros decision came after pressure from partners in the regions. What do you think? Should America be supporting Israel? 
2	Michelle Obama Exposed Spending Millions Of Tax Dollars On THIS The countdown until the Obamas are officially out of the White House is on, and its a good thing, because their lavish spending habits dont appear to be slowing down any time soon. When the White House was questioned about the cost of Michelle Obamas trip with her mother and daughters to Italy and England, scheduled for next week, the chief of staff did not have a good answer. I dont have anything I can give you on that, Tina Tchen concluded. Its no surprise that the White House is keeping details under wraps. We can only imagine the tens of thousands of dollars this is costing taxpayers. 
1	Nearly 20 years after launching its first nationwide recycling program, the Department of Sanitation unveiled a new environmental initiative Monday that urges citizens to separate perfectly good stuff, such as old toasters and empty picture frames, from the rest of their weekly trash. Officials said they expected the new program to eliminate hundreds of tons of totally usable and barely scratched waste over the next year. 'For far too long, Americans have been throwing out working lamps, expensive coasters, and those nice wooden shelves along with their regular trash,' Sanitation Secretary Frank DiPietro told reporters at a press conference. 'This wasteful practice not only threatens our environment, but it also forces certain individuals who, say, need a new ottoman, to rummage through piles and piles of dirty garbage.' 'Just look at this coffee table, for instance,' added DiPietro. 'It's not even all that cracked.' As part of the program, the department will mail out a 12-page pamphlet detailing more than 200 perfectly fine items for the nation's citizens to keep separate from their trash, including chairs that have at least three legs, stacks of old National Geographic magazines, couches with no 'major stains,' ashtraysespecially the big ceramic onesand 'whatever else you may have around the house that could be used as a TV stand.' Citizens will also receive a new specially designed garbage bin, which can be used for totally salvageable frying pans, rechargeable batteries, and speakers that still sort of work if you blast them high enough. According to DiPietro, practically new items should be placed at the end of one's driveway, several feet from bags of ordinary trash, and preferably with signs labeled 'Only used a few times' and 'Just needs some new wiring.' DiPietro went on to say that the perfectly good garbage will be picked up on Sunday and Tuesday nights, or whenever the sanitation department happens to be passing by and spots a blender they think they can fix. 'Each and every person can make a difference when it comes to helping the environment,' said Shelley Manning, a sanitation operations coordinator. 'Especially if that person has one of those Dustbuster machines they're going to throw awayyou know, the kind that picks up bread crumbs and then you can empty the canister when it gets full? Oh, and some sturdy sconces. If somebody has those, they would also be helping out the environment a ton.' An internal study conducted by the department suggests that the new program may reduce landfills by 25 percent, decrease greenhouse gas emissions by 43 percent, and lessen the chances of having to go out and buy an overpriced mattress by nearly 60 percent. In addition, the reportwhich was published on the back of some perfectly fine dot-matrix printer paper found next to a Dumpsterreveals that for every dented filing cabinet claimed by the new program, an estimated $45 in nonrenewable cash is saved. 'By 2010, we could see a resounding change in dozens of cities across the country,' said Joseph Henderson, a Boston-area sanitation truck driver. 'And in a number of unfinished basements as well. Big empty basements that could really use some spare paint and, maybe, like, a little armchair in the corner.' Reaction to the new 'Reduce, ReuseHey, You Gonna Get Rid of That?' program has so far been mixed, with some citizens involved in early trials already complaining that the ecologically friendly initiative is too confusing. 'How am I supposed to keep track of all this?' said Chicago resident Joanna Keyes, who is required to sort out her garbage into 17 separate piles, including three individual stacks for things that might be good for tying up larger stuff, smaller objects perfect for desks or maybe a table, and those long metal tubes that are just right for hanging clothes on. 'All I wanted to do was throw away an air-hockey table my kids hardly touched.' While it is too early to gauge the success of the new program, DiPietro said that if anyone has a van or truck the department could use to help move a couple of giant mirrors they found, that would be 'really great.' 
2	Students Can No Longer Say God Bless America Remember how our country was founded on principals of religious freedom and expression? Apparently the American Civil Liberties Union doesnt. According to recent reports, a New Jersey elementary school has just been banned from saying God bless America of their daily recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. The ACLU was quick to bully Haddon Heights Elementary School, threatening them with an expensive legal battle. The school boards attorney reportedly received a letter claiming that the recitation of the phrase is unconstitutional. It never, to us, invoked any type of religious intentions, Principal Sam Sassano argued, claiming that the tradition began after the attacks on 9/11. It was basically a patriotic gesture that the boys and girls were doing. This is not okay. Organizations are doing everything they can to criminalize Christian expression, and theyre virtually eliminating the ability to show heartfelt support for our troops. We wont even get into the attacks on Old Glory. What do you think? What would you do if this happened at your childs school? 
1	In the wake of last weekends highly controversial comments from Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO), top Republican officials condemned the congressmans statements Monday, calling them a black mark on the partys otherwise flawless record on womens rights issues. Throughout our history, whether its been our position on birth control, abortion, or equal pay for equal work, Republicans have always stood together with women, listening to their needs and fighting for issues that are are important to them. That is why we were stunned that someone from our own party could have made such insensitive remarks or expressed such uninformed opinions about women, said Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus, calling Akins comments an outlier, especially when one considers the huge, progressive stridesboth personally and professionallythe GOP has helped women make over the years. We apologize for Congressman Akin. And we want the nations women to know that they will continue to have no greater ally than the the Republican Party. Priebus added that while there was certainly no excuse for Akins comments, after 150 years without a single insensitive remark against women, perhaps the GOP was due. 
1	Acknowledging that, all things considered, he was pretty happy with his life, a local black rhinoceros told reporters Monday that if he had one wish, it would be that his distinctive horn was not capable of rendering human beings immortal. Look, Im not typically one for complaining, but I will admit its kind of a shame that my horn, when extracted from my face, ground up, and ingested, immediately cures any human illness, said the critically endangered animal, lamenting the fact that his species defining facial feature remains the most potent and effective treatment for cancer, fever, arthritis, mental illness, and dozens of other diseases that afflict mankind. Im not blaming people for coveting my horn, given that it grants them eternal life; Im just saying that in a perfect world Id much prefer that my horn was just a thick protein outgrowth with no verifiable medicinal properties whatsoever. The rhinoceros conceded, however, that his horn looked pretty cool when fashioned into a small knife handle. 
1	Eighty-five-year-old Lithuanian avant-garde filmmaker Jonas Mekas, director of more than 50 movies including Zefiro Torna and the five-hour diary film As I Was Moving Ahead, Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses Of Beauty, was again overlooked by the MTV Movie Awards Sunday. Jonas Mekas This marks the 17th straight year in which Mekas, known for his signature single-frame style and a penchant for interrupting scenes with several seconds of black space, has failed to join the pantheon of such past winners as Lindsay Lohan, Jon Heder, and Chewbacca. 'It is a travesty that Mekas' stark vision of elegiac melancholia has not been rewarded with the coveted Golden Popcorn statue,' Boston University film studies professor Ray Carney said. 'His [1997] film Letter From NowhereLaiskas Is Niekur No. 1 should have easily walked away with Best On-Screen Duo, or Best Kiss, or at least Best Ass.' While Mekas expressed regret at the selection committee's refusal to recognize his work, he said he was moved after winning the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Lifetime Achievement Award in March. 
1	Citing the nearly 1,500 deaths that occurred in the United States last year as a result of kaleidoscoping while driving, New Jersey governor Chris Christie signed legislation Friday banning the practice. 'If you need to see complex geometric patterns made by colorful beads and glass shifting in front of your eyes while you rotate a cylinder, pull over to the side of the road first or, better yet, wait until you reach your destination,' Christie said after signing the bill known as Lisa's Law, named for a teen killed when a kaleidoscoping driver crossed the center line and struck her car in 2009. 'Studies have shown that kaleidoscoping while operating a motor vehicle is the equivalent of driving under the influence of four alcoholic beverages and two tabs of LSD. It simply isn't safe.' Lobbyists for the kaleidoscope industry maintain their product is totally safe for drivers if they use the hands-free option. 
3	SWAT Training Drill During Marysville School Shooting?Marysville shooting occurs less than 2 weeks before Washington voters decide on new gun control measures Doesnt there always seem to be funny business with these alleged school shootings? The latest is the Marysville, Washington active shooter event taking place today. This post isnt to discuss the details of the ongoing event, but rather to point out that it appears the Marysville Police were scheduled to run a SWAT training exercise yesterday or perhaps today too. We cant know for sure because they scraped all references to it from the Internet. Major props to Lori Price of LegitGov for catching this: When Googling the SWAT drill in Marysville, the official school district website is the first result: However, when you click on this link, the announcement has been disappeared and replaced by the following: Students who attend MPHS campus are being relocated to the Shoultes Community Church at the corner of 116th and 51st Street. Buses will take students home from there. Those parents in the area wanting to pick up their child will need to go to the church location and sign out their child out with school administrator or law enforcement. All after-school activities across the district are canceled today. We may be dealing with yet another vicious false flag by the authorities to justify gun control and an increased police state. Please add any evidence you can find to the comment section below. UPDATE 1:There are controversial gun control measures on the ballot in Washington state to be voted on in less than 2 weeks http://seattle.cbslocal.com/2014/10/10/rival-gun-measures-on-ballot-in-washington/ UPDATE 2: A high school around 65 miles north of Marysville held an active shooter exercise involving multiple agencies yesterday as well http://www.bellinghamherald.com/2014/10/22/3928022/police-drill-to-be-held-thursday.html 
2	Airlines Refuse To Fly This Dying Child For Treatment, Then Trump Shocks The World By Doing THIS Andrew Ten, a 3 year old kid with an unknown respiratory disease, needed treatment immediately. The problem was that doctors in California couldnt treat him, and he needed to see a specialist in New York. When Ten attempted to arrange his flight to New York, he was denied by every airline. They told him it was too risky to fly him with his oxygen tank, breathing mask, and adrenaline syringe. Desperate for help, Andrews family sent out of a message for Donald Trump. Luckily, he heard of their story and sent his plane right away. Donald Trump is a miracle, just a miracle, said Feigy Ten. Mr. Trump did not hesitate when we called him up. He said, Yes, Ill send my plane right out. Andrew Ten went on to get his treatment in New York, all thanks to Donald Trump. The media loves to focus on his bad qualities. Its about time his great side has gotten publicity. Do you support Donald Trump? 
3	9/11 Patriotism Psychosis Dominates NFL Opening Day - Incomprehensible Distortion Of RealityBy Bernie Suarez This list could go on seemingly forever as the unsolved issues with 9/11 go on and on. Humanity is crying for justice once and for all but unfortunately that justice seems nowhere in sight. As I discussed some time back one of the reasons for this is that the Pentagon is regularly pouring money into the sports leagues to promote the US military and patriotism, whether its college sports or the pro leagues like Major League Baseball (MLB), the NBA or NFL. And so on this anniversary of 9/11 the very Pentagon squarely at the center of the attack on their own building on 9/11 and the same DOD deeply connected to the orchestration of the Operation Northwoods-style 9/11 seems to be pouring out the money again as players and teams around the NFL are doing all kinds of little things to commemorate 9/11 but in a way that not only does not demand answers but instead ONLY focuses of paying tribute to the heroes. The much more important notion of actually solving 9/11, asking any tough questions, demanding real answers or even paying attention to the unanswered questions of the family members of those who lost loved ones is not even mentioned. In fact, in some cases the entire event is one big fun opportunity to market items. On Sunday, he and fellow receiver Victor Cruz will be wearing meaningful pairs as the Giants play on the anniversary of 9/11: Shoe company Kickasso designed the special footwear. Heres what owner Troy Cole told ESPN: Its a special cleat for a couple reasons. I mean opening day is on 9/11. And Odell wanted to pay tribute to the heroes of 9/11, and not toward the tragedy aspect, with the falling building and the heroes all around kind of helping and saving people. That is why its kind of special and going to be pretty cool. But the hypocrisy and in-your-face psyop doesnt end there. Barack Obama and 9/11 co-conspirator George Bush himself will chime in at a league level in psyop ceremonies that will involve every NFL team. All in the name of diverting everyones attention to worshiping the very heroes who Bush and his administration murdered on that day when they blew up the WTC towers. And for good measure theyre even throwing in a little typical American sports US military worship! Before each of the 13 games, video messages from President Barack Obama and his predecessor, George W. Bush, will be shown. Each club will have special guests on the field, including first responders, community volunteers, hometown heroes and military members, for pregame activities and the playing of the national anthem. Vice President Joe Biden will join 120 first responders in holding the American flag during the anthem at Philadelphia. Bush will toss the coin in Dallas, accompanied on the field by Laura Bush and two NYPD officers who responded to the attacks. All coaching staffs will be given 9/11 lapel pins, and a special 9/11 decal will be placed on players helmets. The salutes will be synchronized during afternoon games Sunday. As if the propaganda flying all over the place in the NFL this weekend is not enough, just to rub it in even further, they are also doing damage control with the Colin Kaepernick recent backfiring. Since the recent failure the mainstream media propaganda machine sustained when a two-week campaign to demonize San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick for not standing up during the playing of the National Anthem actually backfired, we now see them going into damage control this weekend putting out stories about how Shaquille ONeal is now saying I would never do that. To each his own, Shaq said. I dont really have a say on it, but I would never do that. My father was a military man, and you know, he protected this country. Uncles are in law enforcement, you know, they go out and work hard every day. For anyone not familiar with the story, for about two weeks now the media has been attacking Kaepernick after he took a stand against the violent police state by not standing up during the playing of the National Anthem. Kaepernick has since been attacked every single day by the media, the local police union, and the media even reported how some fans were burning his jersey. Hoping the propaganda would catch on further the media recently suffered a major setback when it was reported that Kaepernicks jersey is suddenly the top selling jersey in the league and other players in the league decided they would join his protest of the National Anthem. Obviously this is not what the mainstream media had planned, so on this propaganda weekend this is why they are throwing in this damage control story about Shaquille ONeal making these comments disagreeing with Kaepernick, a story which is completely unrelated to 9/11 but it reaffirms the patriotism the league is selling to its fans as a smokescreen to the 9//11 crimes and to reiterate the 9/11 official story. Unfortunately this is the degree to which the Pentagon is pouring money into these sports leagues. The Pentagon needs to keep the young men (especially) and women brainwashed about 9/11 lest they actually wake up and realize the Pentagon was at the center of perpetrating the event and they need to keep up the military worship to keep recruitment going. Americans are by far and without question the most brainwashed human beings on planet earth as they worship the very terrorists who have murdered and funded the murder of millions of innocent people around the globe with their military occupations and regime change strategies all for the purposes of their global domination plans and the coming global order. Sports, as proven this weekend, is once again the cornerstone of this mass brainwashing as sports zombies root for their favorite team (symbolically) alongside the very terrorists who murder, rape, and torture the innocent in the name of American might. Lets remember that often THE greatest victims are the very US military people in uniform being worshiped. As most of them will eventually find out once they get out of the military, veterans are later treated like criminals and terrorists. Many war related veterans will be diagnosed with mental disorders and tagged as unfit to own a gun. No country turns their back on their own veterans like the US. In the end the ONLY winners here is the very ruling elite who create these wars and the very ruling elite that planned and executed 9/11 and ultimately this is the biggest tragedy of this weekends 9/11 psyop ceremonies. This is a sad story to watch but it is up to us to keep the flames of truth and the torch of freedom and free speech burning by exposing this mass hypocrisy and propaganda staged by the Pentagon, the mainstream and the powers that be in these sports leagues. Its been 15 years of lies and millions have died because of 9/11 not just the heroes the Bush administration blew up in the WTC towers and their own employees they blew up with their cruise missile into at the Pentagon. Its also the millions of people terrorized by their moderate rebels/al-Nusra/ISIS/Muslim brotherhood, etc. proxy armies that regularly switch their names, have overlapping allegiance and are funded, trained, armed and supplied by the US. The whole thing is an ugly story that wont end until we find a way to stop the US military-Pentagon war machine and the intelligence-mainstream media psyop machine. Until we can accomplish this the most effective thing we can do is keep sharing the truth with others so that others can see what is truly happening for themselves. 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. .this opportunity to sell the 9/11 official story. like this one : and this one. Good one, Croco Dile. Theres also the govts released image of Flight 77s entry into the Pentagon with the planes cloaking device turned on. 911 signaled the end of the constitution and the beginning of endless perpetual death brought on by the Usurped States industrial military complex that spews endless resources and takes away our young people to die in some forgotten battle. 
2	He Poured Vinegar In His Dogs Ear... When I Saw Why, I Wanted To Do It Too [VIDEO] As mans best friend, your dog deserves only the best. From the food, to long walks, to hygienemaking that your dog has what he needs is a top priority. Thats why we couldnt wait to share this tip for cleaning your dogs ears using something you probably already have in the house. Vinegar can clear the wax produced in the dogs ears and eliminate possible bacteria or mites that could reside and thrive in this moist environment, one vet shared. Vinegar can be employed as a regular ear cleaner and applied on a weekly basis when performing the grooming of the dog, but may also be used when the dog has various infections. The acetic acid can restore the normal pH in the ears if there are bacterial or fungal infections. Watch the video below to learn more! Have you tried this trick? 
1	Longtime fans of Associate Justice Antonin Scalia were rewarded Monday when the U.S. Supreme Court released to the public archival footage of the jurists pivotal 1986 audition for a seat on the nations highest court. According to legal scholars, the previously unseen video, which features a fresh-faced 50-year-old Scalia sporting a shock of flowing jet-black hair and energetically riffing on the framers original intent, provides an early glimpse of the developing talents of the up-and-coming judge, who would eventually emerge as one of the nations preeminent interpreters of constitutional law. He was still pretty green then, but even so, you could tell he had a lot of raw talenthe absolutely killed with this prepared bit he did on the Commerce Clause, said retired justice John Paul Stevens, who in the tape can be heard off-camera playing the role of a dissenting judge as Scalia is tasked with analyzing the constitutional underpinnings of Roe v. Wade. Watching it now, his take on the Second Amendment seems really rough, but you can see how he would eventually develop that early concept into his famous District of Columbia v. Heller majority opinion. There was something special there, even if he stumbled a little while citing key provisions from the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Stevens added. Of course, at the time he was only a couple decades out of law school. He was a little wild, thats for sure, but you could tell he was ambitious. I remember thinking, Man, this guy is the most determined statutory textualist Ive ever seen. Recorded before an audience of high-ranking officials that included all nine members of the Burger Court, Attorney General Ed Meese, and senior White House staff, the 30-minute video shows Scalia being put through the paces of the Supreme Courts legendarily difficult auditioning process, which consists of rigorous mock hearings and jurisprudence drills, as well as a cold read from a randomly chosen amicus curiae brief, all performed on the institutions famed courtroom floor. Though his aggressive style of oral argument was still unpolished at the time, and there were no openings currently available on the court, Scalia was reportedly told his name would be kept in mind in the event a spot opened up. Ultimately, experts have said, the tryout opened doors for the fledgling jurist by allowing him to showcase his now-trademark originalism, noting in particular a segment of the tape in which he delivers what onlookers described as a memorable five-minute, extemporaneous oration on the constitutional illegitimacy of gay rights and the Miranda rule. Id previously been out with our scouts to see him judge at the D.C. Circuit once or twice, said former Supreme Court clerk H. Geoffrey Moulton, referring to the court of appeals that has famously served as a talent incubator for the federal judiciary, providing many future justicesincluding judicial legends John Roberts, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and the popular Fred M. Vinsonwith a place to hone their skills. He was a little wild, thats for sure, but you could tell he was ambitious. I remember thinking, Man, this guy is the most determined statutory textualist Ive ever seen. So, we decided to bring him in for an audition to see what he could do, Moulton continued. Some of my colleagues felt he was still too wet behind the ears, but I was interested to find out how hed perform on a bigger stage. A few months later, Scalia would get that chance when the Supreme Court needed a new justice and the U.S. Senate unanimously approved his nomination. When told by reporters that his audition tape had been released, Scalia admitted that he himself hadnt been very impressed with his performance at the time, noting in particular that he bombed his interpretation of the state action doctrine. Oh, wow, they dug up that old video? said a chuckling Scalia, who recalled that he was so nervous during his tryout he practically sweat through [his] robes. I can only imagine what people in that room were thinking when this Italian kid from Queens came in there quoting those clichd old Oliver Wendell Holmes opinions and waving his gavel around. But hey, I got the gig. Court watchers expect the Scalia video will prove far more popular than the release last summer of Associate Justice Clarence Thomas audition tape, in which the then-42-year-old judge spent a full half hour staring into the camera in complete silence.

3	RFID Monitoring and DNA Profiles Work Together to Manifest Our Brave New WorldSusanne Posel, Contributor Principal Wendy Reyes of Jones Middle School, explains: Its going to give us the opportunity to track our students in the building. They may have been in the nurses office, or the counselors office, or vice principals office, but they were markedly absent from the classroom because they werent sitting in the class. It will help us have a more accurate account of our attendance. Schools being the intended beta-test ground for social conditioning, is using RFID chips to track students as cattle is monitored on a ranch; impeding on their privacy and dignity. RFID technology is furthered by corporations like Proteus Biomedical that have developed the microchip that is activated by human stomach acids, embeds into the lining of the stomach and remotely sends information collected through sensors about the environment. These transmission can be syphoned to the internet, a doctors office via computer or any intercepting entity. Called smart pills, the bio-tech corporations Novartis are creatingmicrochipping that will assist in organ transplants and anti-rejection drugs as well as using human clinical trials to test safety measures. How will the pharmaceutical corporations explain away the fact that electronic capacitors are toxic to the human body and swallowing them on a regular basis will cause serious complications? Russian-based software called Voice Grid Nationwill be used by law enforcement to record and analyze US voices. Mathematical algorithms will file massive amounts of data that can be translated to use on surveillance operations in the domestic US. Furthermore, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is endeavoring to collect the DNA of all children to be storedin case of a future arrest or circumstance wherein the use of their DNA would be pertinent or necessary for involvement in criminal activity and conviction. DHS estimates that 1 million people are subjectto this intrusive collection because of incarceration and non-criminal reasons. Children who are caught in the criminal system have their DNA stored along with adult offenders, according to the Council for Responsible Genetics. Jennifer Lynch of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) asserts: Collecting DNA from anyone detained by the government for any number of non-criminal reasons especially juveniles seems to be yet another step on the slippery slope of collecting DNA from everyone in the United States, no matter their status. The US Congress passed the Katie Sepich Enhanced DNA Collection Act of 2010that expanded the collection of DNA in the name of protecting children and enhancing federal criminal databases. This works in tandem with the DNA Initiativewhich provides funding, training and assistance to ensure that forensic DNA reaches its full potential to solve crimes, protect the innocent and identify missing persons. DNA collection is justifiedfor the purposes of obtaining a medical history and predisposition to disease. These samples then become part of the warrantless collections that are mingled in with criminal profiles to create genetic databases on all American citizens. An estimated 10 millionDNA samples stored in CODIS , a massive DNA database, are collected on the local state and federal levels and provided to law enforcement. This database will be utilized for pre-crime purposes and have been sanctioned by federal courts. After birth, infants in hospitals have their blood takenunder the guise of screening for diseases; however collections where genetic information have been formed over the decades on nearly every American. Under the Rapid DNA initiative, a collection is made easy by use of a Q-tip and the suspects saliva. The technology is praised as being a replacementto fingerprinting and as the future of forensic analyses. As DNA collecting continues, the use of RFID chipping facilitates the monitoring and movements of American citizens. Beginning with children, the US government is working to control the most important aspects of American society. The generations who grow up in a control grid will not question their enslavement. They will trust law enforcement in a fear-filled respect and hope that they will not be taken under pre-crime circumstances into the prisons. They will cower at the prospect of their DNA being used against them. These two in tandem will serve to keep future generations in line and avoid massive uprisings as is seen in our current social climate. These controls are sold as making our world safer or better, yet they go unnoticed for what they really are. These are the final chapters being written in the systematic and planned-implosion of our free society. Susanne Posel is the Chief Editor of Occupy Corporatism.

3	Police State Targets Dissidents: Government To Impose Extreme Disruption Orders On IndividualsMac Slavo Their attempts to control the agenda and conversation have repeatedly been met with protests, both online and off, as traditional mainstream audiences migrate by the millions to alternative media and citizen journalism. But this obvious threat to the establishments status quo wont be allowed to go on much longer. A recent interview with the head of Englands Ministry of Home Security, the British counterpart of Americas Department of Homeland Security, shows just how dangerous open thought and free speech are. Home SecretaryTheresa May explainswhat the freedom-loving people of the United Kingdom can come to expect in the very near future if their online commentary is deemed to be hatred or extremist thought by the government. And this, as youll see below, isnt just about the UK, which has often been used as a Petri dish for global regulators who want to see what does or doesnt work on a smaller scale before introducing their policies and legalese in the United States. The police would also be given new powers to apply to a court to impose extreme disruption orders on individuals, using the same criteria. This could result in those targeted being stopped from taking part in public protests, from being present at all in certain public locations, from associating with named people, from using of conventional broadcast media and from obtaining any position of authority in an institution where they would have influence over vulnerable individuals or children. Breach of the restrictions which would be time limited would be a criminal offence. (BBC) An interview of Theresa May discussing how these new policies will keep Brits safe and secure shows the Secretary repeating the same talking points over and over in defense of her position. When questioned about whether innocent people just speaking their minds could get caught up in the extremist web, May goes to her default answer: What we are looking at is a situation where believe we need to take powers necessary to be able to deal with those people who are preaching hatred on our streets and that is an extremism which can lead others into violent acts. Of course not all extremists are violent and not all violence comes out of that extremism. But there is a link. There is a thread between this. And I believe we need to be able to deal with that if we are going to do the job we want to do, which is keeping people safe and secure. Unless of course you consider that a bi-partisan Congressional panel is now looking to impose similar restrictions on free speech right here in the good ol USA: A key Democrat on the Federal Election Commission called for burdensome new rules on Internet-based campaigning, prompting the Republican chairman to warn that Democrats want to regulate online political sites and even news media like the Drudge Report. Ravels statement suggests that she would regulate right-leaning groups like America Rising that posts anti-Democrat YouTube videos on its website. FEC Chairman Lee E. Goodman, a Republican, said if regulation extends that far, then anybody who writes a political blog, runs a politically active news site or even chat room could be regulated. He added that funny internet campaigns like Obama Girl, and Jib Jab would also face regulations. (Washington Examiner) Make no mistake. Such regulatory and legislative policy would not only target conservative web sites. Every single American citizen would be subject to its rules. Want to post a video with political undertones? Banned. Did you mention a political candidates name in your social media post? Banned. Did you send an email to friends and family promoting a particular idea that runs contrary to the traditionally accepted government policy? Banned. Are you wearing a T-shirt that upsets the politically correct crowd? Banned. And not just banned. In the United Kingdom you would face criminal repercussions. In the United States, as noted in the Patriot Act and the National Defense Authorization Acts, you could literally be swept up by militarized government SWAT teams and held indefinitely without charge or trial. A person engages in domestic terrorism if they do an act dangerous to human life that is a violation of the criminal laws of a state or the United States, if the act appears to be intended to:(i) intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping. Additionally, the acts have to occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States and if they do not, may be regarded as international terrorism. Source:USA Patriot Act We can see by the broad language how easily one can be accused of intimidation or coercion. In the end it really just boils down to be a matter of interpretation, and you could bet your bottom dollar that Federal prosecutors and secret terrorism courts will ensure that you fall well within the Patriot Act should you step out of line. In a recent piece penned by Paul Joseph Watson we can see these new regulations already taking shapethrough a redefining of terms such as suspicious activity. Purchasing train tickets with cash, exiting a train before or after other passengers, or appearing calm or nervous are all examples of behavior that Amtrak employees have been told to report as suspicious activity. A document entitledGuidelines for Amtrak Customer Service Employees, which was obtained by the ACLU after an FOIA request, lists a number of different behaviors that are indicative of criminal activity and should immediately be reported to law enforcement personnel by Amtrak ticket agents. Are you calm when purchasing a ticket? That could mean youre a terrorist. What about nervous? Do you look at little nervous? Yup, that probably makes you a terrorist, too. This is what the free people of the United States, the United Kingdom and the rest of the world are facing from entrenched elite financial, economic and geo-political organizations who mean to control every aspect of our lives. And be assured, theyre not war-gaming civil unrest scenarios and stockpiling billions of rounds of ammunitionjust so they can play target practice. Many Americans see whats coming and are taking steps to prepare for a completely different world. But most dont even have a clue. Your views and ideas make you an enemy of the state. In fact, the United Nations Charter on Human Rights addresses people like you, and despite the fact that our founders forbade international treaties for this very purpose, our government is a long-time proponent of these ideals and policies. The Charter talks a big game with, among other things, freedom of expression, the right to live peacefully, and protections to ensure you cant be detained indefinitely without trial until, that is, you reach Article 29, Section 3: These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations. So, as long as you tow the party line you can enjoy your freedom. For those that dont, one day soon these international and domesticlegislative implements will give them the pretext to come looking for you, as well as those who, as Theresa May stated, have a thread that might be connected to you.

3	When Is a Coup not One?Stephen Lendman It isnt one when its our coup, a good cause coup, said Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins. Western diplomats are scrambling to characterize it otherwise. Coups are called military interventions with good intent. Saying they reflect good v. evil struggles doesnt wash. Merriam-Webster calls them a violent decisive exercise of force in politics; especially the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group. The Oxford Dictionaries defines them as sudden, violent, and illegal seizure(s) of power from a government. According to Wikipedia: A coup or putsch is the sudden deposition of a government, usually by a small group of the existing state establishment typically the military to depose the extant government and replace it with another body, civil or military. A coup is considered successful when the usurpers establish their dominance. A coup is a coup is a coup. Claiming otherwise doesnt wash. Diktat power rules Egypt. Tanks patrol streets. Demonstrators were shot and killed. Many others were injured. Numerous arrests were made. Martial law was declared. Egypts constitution was suspended. Morsis stripped of power. He and his presidential team are under house arrest. Theyre held at a military intelligence facility. Warrants were issued for hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood members. Egyptian Foreign Minister Kamel Amr called John Kerry. He claimed Morsi wasnt toppled by military coup. Definitions are important. They matter. More on that below. The American side is a strategic partner for Egypt and the welfare of the Egypt is important to them, said Amr. Hes a career diplomat. On Tuesday, he resigned. Hell stay on until a interim technocratic government is named. I hope that they read the situation in the right way, that this is not a military coup in any way, he added. This was actually the overwhelming will of the people. Kerry said Egypt remains a strategic ally. Saying so assures business as usual. Amr briefed other foreign ministers. He spoke to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Definitely what happened was not a military coup, he claimed. I know that last night and today some people are saying this. Of course, I can understand. But what happened, definitely, definitely, was not a military coup. There is no role, no political role whatsoever, for the military. This is the total opposite of a military coup. He stressed transitioning to new leadership. He lied claiming coup authority doesnt rule. Egypts Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) holds total power. Political leaders serve at their pleasure. Generals have final say. Robert Fisk asked When is a military coup not a military coup? When it happens in Egypt, apparently. Quelle surprise. For the first time in the history of the world, a coup is not a coup. The army take over, deposes and imprisons the democratically elected president, suspends the constitution, arrests the usual suspects, closes down television stations and masses their armor in the streets of the capital. But the word coup does not and cannot cross the lips of the Blessed Barack Obama. Nor does the hopeless UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon dare to utter such an offensive word. Is it because Egyptians demanded one? Maybe its because Obama fears acknowledgment force(s) the US to impose sanctions on a strategically important ally. Around a $1.5 billion in annual aids at stake. US law prohibits funding coup detat governments. More on that below. Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice once called democracy messy. Obama claims Egypts on track for democracy. Maybe he means US-style. Its fake. Its in name only. Its illusory, not real. Paul Craig Roberts calls lawlessness the new normal. It reflects how America and key allies are governed. Diktat power rules. Laws are made to be broken. Freedoms a four-letter word. Its fast disappearing. Tyrannys the law of the land. Puppet leaders serve US interests. Sovereigntys quaint and out of date. Neocolonialism replaced it. What Washington says goes. Imperial priorities alone matter. Stand by then for the first US delegation to visit the country which has suffered the coup-that-wasnt, said Fisk. And youll know whether they believe there was a coup or not by the chaps they visit on their arrival in Cairo: the army, of course. Financial Times chief foreign affairs commentator Gideon Rachman asked When is a coup not a coup? Obama cant summon the C word. His lips move. He wont say what he knows is so. If it looks like one, it is. Egypt isnt ready for prime time. Good v. evil doesnt explain whats ongoing. Events there show that complexity, confusion and moral compromise cannot, unfortunately, be avoided in international affairs, said Rachman. Sweeping reality under the rug cant hide it. The New York Times headlined A Coup? Or Something Else? $1.5 Billion in US Aid Is on the Line. By all accounts, the generals removed the democratically elected president, put him in detention, arrested his allies and suspended the Constitution, said The Times. Army vehicles and soldiers in riot gear roamed the streets, while jet fighters roared overhead. But was it a military coup detat? For the White House and the new Egyptian government, that is the $1.5 billion question. Obama lied saying: I have directed the relevant departments and agencies to review the implications under US law for our assistance to the government of Egypt. US law requires doing so. According to the 2006 Foreign Operations, Export Financing and Related Programs Appropriations Act, none of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available pursuant to this Act shall be obligated or expended to finance directly any assistance to the government of any country whose duly elected head of government is deposed by military coup or decree. Other US laws are relevant. The 1961 Foreign Assistance Act (FAA) prohibits aiding governments engaged: in a consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights, including torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment, prolonged detention without charges, causing the disappearance of persons by the abduction and clandestine detention of those persons, or other flagrant denial of the right to life, liberty, and the security of person, unless such assistance will directly benefit the needy people in such country. The Leahy Law provision of the 2001 Foreign Operations Appropriations Act (FOAA) (Sec. 8092 of PL 106-259) states: None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to support any training program involving a unit of the security forces of a foreign country if the Secretary of Defense has received credible information from the Department of State that a member of such unit has committed a gross violation of human rights, unless all necessary corrective steps have been taken. FOAA prohibits funding foreign security forces involved in gross human rights violations. Its proscribed unless effective measures (are taken) to bring the responsible members of the security forces unit to justice. Egypts record is longstanding. Its consistent. It commits appalling human rights abuses. Washington rewards its crimes. Geopolitical priorities matter more. Theyre more important than international, constitutional and US statute laws. They exist in name only. Theyre willfully violated. Aid goes to nations deserving none. Israel has an appalling human rights record. It gets more aid than most other nations combined. It gets state-of-the-art weapons, munitions and technology. It gets more on request. It gets benefits afforded no other countries. It killing machine benefits. The same goes for Egypt. Its record is hugely repressive. Its a police state. Junta power rules. Democracys verboten. Elections are manipulated and controlled. People have no say. Elected officials know whos boss. Go along or be replaced is policy. On Friday, Egypts interim president Adly Mansour dissolved the Shura Council. Its Egypts upper house of parliament. Events continue fast moving. Troops used live fire against nonviolent demonstrators. Four deaths were reported. Muslim Brotherhood official Issam al-Aryani called on Freedom and Justice Party supporters to stay in the squares and protest. He urged noncooperation with Egypts raped government. Muslim Brotherhood members arent going gentle into that good night. Theyre not going quietly. They arent vanishing without a fight. Theyre outnumbered and outgunned.

3	Watch Out Alternative Media: LAX Shooter Paul Ciancia Branded a Conspiracy TheoristANYONE Not Believing the Government is About to be Demonized The demonization of free thinking individuals is about to begin. By branding Paul Ciancia a conspiracy theorist, all of us will come under scrutiny. Anyone who does not believe wholeheartedly in the crap the government tries to feed them on a daily basis will become a danger to society. It stands to reason that after a major public incidence of violence such as mass shootings or bombings, people want answers. Its right and proper that these cases are investigated and as many answers as possible are provided to the citizens of this country. Having said that, an alarming pattern is emerging. Some events are highlighted and get massive coverage on television, on the Internet and in the newspapers, but most incidents do not. Those that cant be spun by the government are given a couple of lines in the papers or a minute of airtime, and thats it. Done. Gone. Forgotten. The events that can be used by the government, get acres of print space and constant news coverage. In addition they always have a reason behind them that benefits the government in some way. Let me show you what I mean. In 2012 88 people were killed in mass shootings in the United States. Sixteen mass shootings with 88 deaths.(source) Heres the list: February 26, 2012: Multiple gunmen began firing into a nightclub in Jackson, Tennessee, killing one person and injuring 20 others. February 27, 2012: Three students at Chardon High School in rural Ohio were killed when a classmate opened fire. March 8, 2012: Two people were killed and seven wounded at a psychiatric hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania when a gunman entered the hospital with two semiautomatic handguns and began firing. March 31, 2012: A gunman opened fire on a crowd of mourners at a North Miami, Florida funeral home, killing two people and injuring 12 others. April 2, 2012: A 43-year-old former student at Oikos University in Oakland, California walked into his former school and killed seven people, execution-style. Three people were wounded. April 6, 2012: Two men went on a deadly shooting spree in Tulsa, Oklahoma shooting black men at random in an apparently racially motivated attack. Three men died, and two were wounded. May 29, 2012: A man in Seattle, Washington opened fire in a coffee shop killing five people and then himself. July 9, 2012: At a soccer tournament in Wilmington, Delaware, three people were killed, including a 16-year-old player and the event organizer when multiple gunmen began firing shots, apparently targeting the organizer. July 20, 2012: James Holmes enters a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises and opens fire with a semi-automatic weapon; twelve people are killed, and fifty-eight are wounded. August 5, 2012: A white supremacist and Army veteran shot six people to death inside a Sikh temple in suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin before killing himself. August 14, 2012: Three people were killed at Texas AM University when a 35-year-old man went on a shooting rampage; one of the dead was a police officer. September 27, 2012: A 36-year-old man who had just been laid off from Accent Signage Systems in Minneapolis, Minnesota entered his former workplace and shot five people to death and wounded three others before killing himself. October 21, 2012: 45-year-old Radcliffe Frankin Haughton shot three women to death, including his wife, Zina Haughton, and injured four others at a spa in Brookfield, Wisconsin before killing himself. December 11, 2012: A 22-year-old began shooting at random at a mall near Portland, Oregon killing two people and then himself. December 14, 2012: One man, and possibly more, murders a reported twenty-six people at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, including twenty children, before killing himself. 2013 is looking very similar, those cases that got/get airtime are the Christopher Dorner case back in February, the Boston Bombings in April, the Navy Yard shooting in September, and of course the incident at LAX. There are other cases that in total killed over 30 people (source) but they didnt have the required spin factor so they have not stayed in the news. All the cases that have made it big, news wise, have had a message from the government to us. These cases were chosen by the government to highlight the need for more gun control, more surveillance and tighter security. I believe that the evidence for these events was tailored. Tailored to suit the governments needs at the time. To give the public a reason for the measures that will be imposed to solve the problem. It was spun and nipped and tucked and most likely bears no resemblance to the original reasons behind the act. With the LAX shooting they have gone a step further. In addition to once again raising the issue of privately owned assault rifles, they have put terms like New World Order and fiat currency into the wider public domain. They are pre-conditioning the wider public in subjects usually confined to alternative media. The average Joe on the street is not familiar with these terms. But now the government itself has introduced them. They have publicly acknowledged them and linked them to the term conspiracy theorist. From Sky News US: A note allegedly found in the suspects bag said that he wanted to kill at least one transport officer with his AR-15 semi-automatic rifle and didnt care which one. Black, white, yellow, brown, I dont discriminate, the note read, according to a paraphrase by a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation. The suspects screed also mentioned fiat currency and NWO, possible references to the New World Order, a conspiracy theory that foresees a one-world government. (emphasis added) I will bet my last dollar that in the very near future alternative media will be mentioned. Alternative media sites will be accused of spreading these messages. We, the alternative media, both writers and readers are next on the list to be demonized. We are the next issue that the government needs to find a solution to. Like gun control et al, we have become a target. The government knows that the alternative media is growing. That more and more people are looking for answers that the mainstream does not provide. This cannot be allowed. It is dangerous to a government that sees itself as omnipotent. The revelations that will come out over the next few days will most likely say that Paul Ciancia frequented alternative media websites and that these sites had a bearing on his actions. Gone are the days when a man with a gun is just insane, vindictive or just plain bad and decides to shoot people. Now there always has to be a reason, and that reason always has to be one that will allow the government to ride in and rescue us. It will always be a reason that gives them justification for exercising more control over our lives and this time the reason could well be us, the alternative media.

3	Oregon Army National Guard and others plan to launch drones from public airportMadison Ruppert, Contributor This is hardly surprising, especially given that we already know that the U.S. military is operating drones domestically and sharing intelligence with law enforcement (also see below video), Predator drones are going to soon be operating over North Dakota, and drones have already been openly used to assist law enforcement. Furthermore, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has embraced small surveillance drones and is going to begin testing in Oklahoma, the Pentagon already identified 110 potential drone bases in the U.S. and a new drone training facility is being built in Florida. Now another facility can be added to the list with the National Guard using the airport to train the 23-troop platoon. City officials are optimistic the new high-tech industry could bring jobs to Pendleton and fill properties on airport land, according to the East Oregonian. This type of excuse is actually quite typical when defending drones and is regularly used by those who would like to gloss over the legitimate privacy concerns, as the aviation industry so desperately does. On top of the Guard flying drones out of the airport, the AP reports that the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Department and others like Oregon State University could use the facility as well. The department could use drones to spot fires, track salmon migration, locate lost hunters and hikers and gather crop moisture information, according to Fish and Wildlife commissioner Carter Kerns, who, according to AP, volunteered to research how UAVs could benefit the city. The possibility for economic development for [Pendleton, Oregon], I think, would be measured in the millions rather than the hundreds of thousands, Kerns, a retired FBI agent, said to AP. (It would be) the best thing thats happened to Pendleton in my lifetime, and I was born here. However, as AP notes, the Guard already flies four out of five of their drones housed at the Guards Boardman station. Obtaining FAA clearance to fly out of Eastern Oregon Regional Airport would just give the Guard the opportunity to fly even more often. Of course, it would also open the door to much more drone use, as noted above. Even if FAA clearance is obtained, AP reports that the Guard platoon would continue to conduct training in Boardman, such as night flights since they would not be allowed to carry out night flights at the airport. Allen Kenitzer, a spokesman for the FAA, unsurprisingly declined to comment on drones. While the Guard platoons drones reportedly are not allowed to fly over densely populated areas, there is little to nothing actually stopping them from doing so. AP did not report the actual model of the drones flown by this Guard platoon but from the following description one can conclude what it likely is. [The drones] are shaped like airplanes, weigh 375 pounds, are 12 feet long and have a 13 foot wingspan, the AP reports. This appears to be AAI Corporations RQ-7A/B Shadow models which are very roughly shaped like planes. In this case, specifically the 200 family of drones (not including the re-wing model), which have a length of 11.2 ft, a wingspan of 14 ft, and a gross weight of 375 pounds. As far as I can tell, this is the only family of drones with the exact figure of 375 pounds, even though that figure is gross weight. Did I forget anything or miss any errors?

2	BREAKING: US Citizens Arrested For Protesting Arrival Of Bus Full Of Illegals After finding out that buses full of illegal immigrants were planned to be dropped off in their town, a group of Murrieta, CA residents spent their holiday attempting to hold down the fort. Their desire was to do what the government has not: take action and stop people from entering illegally. It was not the first time the residents had acted to deter illegal immigrants from invading their town. Almost as soon as the protest began, law enforcement had already increased their presence in hopes of keeping the situation under control Turns out that means arrested citizens attempting to stand up for their rights and their country, using their free speech granted by the First Amendment. Meanwhile, those entering our country illegally are being given food and shelter. Makes sense, right? 
1	With holiday traffic down almost 4 percent compared to last year and business continuing to decline, US Airways announced Monday that it would allow VIP customers to bring bombs on board its flights for a one-time $100 million fee. 'At US Airways, we want to show the world that we're willing to go the distance for customers our competitors repeatedly ignore,' a press release read in part. 'Your enrollment fee grants you full access to our prestigious Bomber's Club at participating airports, early boarding with choice of seat, the option to bring aboard knives and guns for a small additional surcharge, and allowance for an extra carry-on, which can of course be used for your bomb.' The airline noted that an additional $50 million dollar deposit was required and would not be refunded in the event of a detonation. 
2	Obama Does Shameful Things To Our Troops You Will Be Disgusted As evidenced by many photographs, President Obama appears to have a blatant disrespect for our country, our military, and our veterans. Time and time again he has been caught engaging in some highly inappropriate behavior, unlike any President has exhibited before. In fact, one site recently compared photos of President Obama directly to those of President Bush. In contrast to Bush, Obama has repeatedly neglected to Salute or marines appropriately, or stand with his hand over his heart during the national anthem. Hes often shown with his legs up on the desk in the White House office, or even sitting on top of it. And there are countless photos of President Obama on vacation or playing gold when he should be attending to a national tragedy. Such was the case in August of 2014 when Obama decided to play golf rather than attend the funeral of Major General Harold Greene. What do you think of Obama? Is he an embarrassment to our country? 
3	Building a New North American Partnership for the FutureDana Gabriel Throughout the years, the incremental steps towards a North American Union have been used to further chip away at the sovereignty of all three NAFTA countries. The CFR-sponsored Independent Task Force on North America, co-chaired by retired General David Petraeus and former president of the World Bank Robert Zoellick, recently released their report, North America: Time for a New Focus. The Task Force maintained that, Now is the moment for the United States to break free from old foreign policy biases to recognize that a stronger, more dynamic, resilient continental base will increase U.S. power globally. They explained that, If the three North American countries deepen their integration and cooperation, they have the potential to again shape world affairs for generations to come. The Task Force also described how, Recent developments have created opportunities for the North American countries to build on past work and to advance their partnership to a new stage. The move by Mexico to open up its energy sector to private investment, along with increased oil and natural gas production in Canada and the U.S. are some of the driving forces behind the renewed push for deeper North American integration. The Task Force report highlighted the need to expand the North American energy relationship. This includes developing a regional energy strategy and strengthening continental energy infrastructure. The approval of Keystone XL pipeline, which would link Canadas oil sands to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries was also at the top of Task Force to-do list. They acknowledged that, delays have damaged U.S.-Canada relations and have the potential to slow, at the very least, greater North American energy integration. As part of efforts to move beyond the dispute, both countries have signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Energy Cooperation in areas such as research, regulation and trade. In an example of the importance that energy issues could play in the upcoming 2016 election, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a possible candidate for the Republican presidential nomination gave a speech in September, where he detailed North Americas Energy Opportunity. Not surprisingly, the majority of his policy ideas were in sync with the CFRs Task Force recommendations. The 2014 North American Leaders Summit also identified energy as a trilateral priority. In a joint statement, the leaders announced that the energy ministers from all three countries will meet later this year, to discuss opportunities to promote common strategies on energy efficiency, infrastructure, innovation, renewable energy, unconventional energy sources, energy trade, and responsible resource development, including the development of relevant technical studies. To help build on the trilateral energy meetings, the Task Force suggested, the creation of a North American Energy Council to provide advice to federal policymakers and highlight issues that the three independent legislative branches could address. The councils responsibilities would include, identifying improvements to the safety and security of cross-border energy infrastructure; areas for cooperation on environmental and safety standards; energy-efficient technologies and practices; and barriers to collaboration. Although it has since been disbanded, the North American Energy Working Group has already laid some of the groundwork with regards to trilateral energy integration. In order to further establish an overall continental agenda, the Task Force argued for the restructuring of the U.S. federal government by, creating new North American offices within the National Security Council staff and U.S. State Department. This includes, designating a senior U.S. official as the North American champion who will press for consistent policies across agencies and topics. The Task Force also encouraged, greater U.S. congressional engagement with the Mexican congress and Canadian parliament. In addition, they proposed that, the U.S. government support interactions and possible cooperation among governors, premiers, mayors, legislators, and other officials. Throughout the report, the Task Force emphasized that, The goal should be trilateral where possible, bilateral where necessary. While they praised the progress that separate U.S.-Canada and U.S.-Mexico initiatives have made, they also pointed out that the continued reliance on some of these bilateral efforts has in many ways, inhibited the development of a broader vision of North America. When it comes to North American regulatory issues, they are currently being managed through two separate bilateral bodies, the U.S.-Mexico High-Level Regulatory Cooperation Council (HLRCC) and the U.S.-Canada Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC). As part of efforts to foster trilateral regulatory alignment, the Task Force recommended that, each council identify particular regulatory topics that are candidates for mutual recognition or harmonization. The councils could also explore continental cooperation in creating new regulations. Canadian and Mexican observers should be able to attend the meetings of the other country and the United States. In August, the U.S. and Canada released the RCC Joint Forward Plan, which builds on the initial 2011 Joint Action Plan. Not only does it deepen cooperation in new areas, but it sets the stage for regulatory departments and agencies in both countries to essentially become permanent bedfellows. The new regulatory plan also noted that, As part of the 2014 North American Leaders Summit commitments, representatives from the Mexican Government will be invited to observe the government-to-government and stakeholder sessions. This also applies to Canadian officials being able sit in on the HLRCC meetings. The NAFTA partners are taking steps to promote trilateral regulatory convergence. As far as border security goes, North America operates within the confines of two bilateral frameworks, the U.S.-Canada Beyond the Border agreement, as well as the U.S.-Mexico Twenty-First Century Border Management initiative. The Task Force stressed that, Bilateral security efforts can often make it easier to solve problems and develop border management models. However, by emphasizing the differences between the U.S.-Canadian and the U.S.-Mexican security relationships, rather than the commonalities, the United States forgoes advantages of a continental approach. Instead, the Task Force favored, working toward a long-term goal of a unified security strategy for North America. This process could begin by expanding bilateral security programs to include Mexico. U.S.-Canadian programs could be incorporated into the U.S.-Mexico Twenty-First Century Border Management initiative. At the Third Annual Beyond the Border Executive Steering Committee, An observer from the Mexican Foreign Ministry was present in line with the commitment of the North American Leaders Summit to have observers attend the respective meetings of the Mexico-U.S. 21st Century Border Meeting and the BTB Executive Steering Committee. This is part of efforts to link the two bilateral border arrangements and to see if lessons can be applied from one initiative to the other. With goal of better protecting North America from outside threats, the Task Force has called on the U.S. to, shift from border-centric security toward a strategy of combining perimeter protection with security in depth through the use of intelligence, risk assessment, shared capabilities, and joint actions throughout the region. The report went on to say, To gain the full benefits of continental integration, the North American partners need to face common threats together. Terrorists, criminal and narcotics organizations, cyberattacks, and disease pose dangers to all three. Some of these security issues are being addressed through the Meeting of North American Defense Ministers, but the Task Force is pushing for more bilateral security initiatives to be expanded trilaterally. To advance shared continental perimeter security, they proposed that Mexico also be included, in the U.S.-Canada Shiprider program, which permits joint cross-border law enforcement operations in the maritime environment, and the Integrated Border Enforcement Teams (IBETs), which are U.S. and Canadian multiagency law enforcement groups that focus on cross-border criminal activity. Many of the Task Force recommendations would further lay the foundation for a fully integrated North American security perimeter. In a letter following the recent attacks in Canada, the co-chairs of the CFR Task Force, David Petraeus and Robert Zoellick offered their sympathy and support. They referred to themselves as North Americans and stated how, The tragic events in Canada further underscore the importance of the partnership between our three countries. During his visit to Canada, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry also expressed his condolences and pledged to further strengthen both countries security relationship in the fight against terrorism. At a joint press conference with Foreign Minister John Baird, Secretary Kerry pointed out that the U.S. and Canada would, continue to intensify our law enforcement, border security and intelligence sharing. Now might be the perfect opportunity for both countries to finally unveil the Next Generation pilot project, which was scheduled to be launched back in 2012. The joint policing initiative is a component of the Beyond the Border Action Plan and would allow teams of cross-designated officers to operate on both sides of the border in areas such as intelligence and criminal investigations. According to an RCMP memo, it has been delayed due to a U.S. request that its agents be exempt from Canadian law, which has raised serious concerns regarding sovereignty and police accountability. The bilateral program is part of the process of further acclimating joint law enforcement operations in North America. The Conservative government is using the recent attacks in Canada to further erode democratic freedoms. They have introduced new draconian anti-terrorism laws that would expand police surveillance powers. The door has also been opened for even deeper North American integration in the areas of border security, counter-terrorism and law enforcement, which could require further merging security and intelligence sharing practices with the Department of Homeland Security. An increased continental approach to security could serve to bind North America into a single foreign policy entity.

3	Obamacare Hidden Panel of Unelected Officials Beyond Congressional ControlSusanne Posel, Contributor The Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) is comprised of doctors and patient advocates would be nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), a.k.a. Obamacare, requires that the Secretary of Health and Human Services (SHHS) implement the proposal. Denying its execution would necessitate the House, Senate and President agree on an alternate plan. The IPABs plan would become law without Congressional approval, oversight, or even be subject to a presidential veto. Once this proposal is submitted, it is law. The IPAB was the brain child of the Commonwealth Fund ; a private foundation that targets societys most vulnerable, including low-income people, the uninsured, minority Americans, young children, and elderly adults. The IPAB will be enabled to declare: Policies regarding healthcare to Congress Congress, having the power to accept the IPABs recommendations can either act on them or let the SHHS do so. The IPAB, an independent panel, is likening to those in the United Nations (UN); where organizations have oversight panels that decide the direction of the organization and empower it. The only governing body the IPAB will have to answer to is itself. The legislative window for repeals extends to 2017. The Congressional Research Service has falsely interpreted this clause of complete control. Failure to repeal in Congress by 2017 results in absolute power given to the IPAB by 2020 with no ability of Congress to change that fact. Any law the IPAB writes becomes effectual regardless of any member of the US governments rejection of it and the over-reaching power extends to the Secretary of Health and Human Services who becomes an executive of the IPAB. Furthermore, the IPAB would become as powerful as the executive branch of our government, with the right to appropriate funds within the SHHS own department. All the while the IPAB is protected from Congressional oversight and interference. This authoritarian policy is a first step toward encompassing dictatorship; a plateau that Obama has been teetering on for quite some time. His implementation of UN agendas and policies as evidenced in his executive orders and legislation signed and supported display on obvious trend toward removing the Constitutional rights of our American Republic and replace them with a cleared path toward integration of one world government. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	In addition to providing background and analysis of the artwork on display, the audio guide for the Surrealists exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago reminded visitors this week how much richer of an experience they were receiving than was everyone else, sources confirmed. Dali was heavily influenced by Freuds The Interpretation Of Dreams and often wrote down his dreams in a notebook, a fact that those passing through this exhibit without an audio guide are woefully unaware of, the recording reportedly said before inviting listeners to turn their attention to a nearby Marcel Duchamp work whose nuances would only truly be understood by those listening to the prerecorded narration. And if you look to your left, you will notice a number of attendees who are appreciating Yves Tanguys The Rapidity Of Sleep far less than you are. Their lack of a portable audio deviceand therefore insight into the prominent political movements during the period or the importance of Andre Bretons artist collectiverenders them incapable of grasping the true brilliance behind Tanguys post-war output. Sources added that the museums members received a special audio track that mentioned no art at all and instead provided wearers with an 80-minute continuous stream of praise. 
2	BREAKING: 7 States Just Announced That Their Soldiers Will No Longer Be Unarmed Following the shooting in Chattanooga, TN, seven U.S. states have come forward to announce that their military personnel will no longer be unarmed. These states include: Arkansas, Indiana, Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas. It has become clear that our military personnel must have the ability to defend themselves against these type of attacks, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott told reporters. They need to be safe and they need to be armed, Florida Gov. Rick Scott added. As commander-in-chief of the Indiana National Guard, I will not permit our citizen-soldiers to remain unable to defend themselves and our citizens at facilities in our state, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence concluded. Arkansas Gov. Hutchinson also added that he was directing a general to arm full-time personnel as he deems necessary at military installations. What do you think? Should all of our men and women in uniform be armed? 
1	Nearly 14 months after he said 'I do' to his new wife Karen, attorney Robert Diehl, 36, told reporters that he finally feels ready to return to the dating world. 'For a long time, I wasn't there yet,' Diehl said Monday. 'After the wedding, all I wanted was to be alone with my wife. I couldn't even look at another woman without comparing her to Karen. But now, I'm finally ready to take a deep breath and throw myself back into the dating pool.' Diehl began dating Karen Gurnett in June 2000, and they married on Aug. 16, 2003. Although it has been more than 14 months since Diehl has been with a woman other than Gurnett, he expressed confidence that he'll be able to 'get back out there and mix it up.' 'Sure, it's going to be rough for a while,' Diehl said. 'But I can't let fear hold me back. I know that once I'm back in the saddle, it'll feel perfectly natural.' In addition to the emotional difficulties associated with starting to date again, Diehl said his marital responsibilities leave him with little free time. 'This past year has been an incredible drain on my time, energy, and emotions,' Diehl said. 'Now that Karen and I have unwrapped all the gifts, opened a joint checking account, and bought a house, I finally have some time to focus on meon what I want. And what I want right now is hot, attachment-free sex with young, good-looking women.' Diehl said his wife's recent decision to travel to Atlanta led him to ask himself what he was waiting for. 'I have two choiceseither ask that cute girl from my gym for a date, or sit at home feeling sorry for myself while Karen's out of town on business next weekend,' Diehl said. 'I'm through with wallowing in my own misery.' Diehl credits his male friends with providing the support he needed to motivate himself to get out and date again. 'My buddies have been great,' Diehl said. 'I was feeling like I had nothing to offer a woman, being married and all. But my friends encouraged me to ditch the negative attitude. I'm still young, and, according to the guys, nothing attracts pussy like a young, successful guy with a wedding ring.' Joel Brentmacher, who served as best man at Diehl's wedding, said it was hard to watch his friend endure such a difficult time. 'Rob used to be such a ladies' man,' Brentmacher said. 'It had to be a huge blow to him when his single life ended. We hated to see him closing himself off to all the other women in Birmingham and the surrounding counties just because he found a wife. But we gave him time and didn't pressure him. We knew he had to come back on the scene when he felt he was ready.' Although Diehl expressed excitement about dating again, he said he plans to 'play it smart.' 'There are so many good-looking women out there. I'd love to spend my lunch hour in a hotel room with all of them,' Diehl said. 'If I were 18 again, I might try. But I'm more mature now, and I have some experience under my belt. I'm going to ease into things. The best course of action is to take this thing one mistress at a time.' Diehl said his wife, whom he 'will always love with all [his] heart,' will be in his thoughts as he ventures out into the dating world. 'Over these past few months, I've had time to do some really serious thinking about Karen,' Diehl said. 'I think I have it all straight in my mind as to how I'll be able to cheat on her without her catching me.' 'I have to take the whole thing slow, though,' Diehl added. 'I don't want to get hurt, and Karen would kill me if she ever found out.' 
1	Hoping to get out more and expose himself to new things, pathetic man Eric Mayhew, 48, is considering taking some sort of sad little class somewhere, the longtime office worker said Monday. 'Ever since the divorce eight years ago, I haven't really had much to do in the evenings,' Mayhew, who is childless, told reporters. 'I was thinking of maybe something with computers or something. It might be a way to meet some new people.' Though he is uncertain what he wants to study, Mayhew confirmed that enrolling in any course at all would be a nice way to break up his usual after-work routine of eating dinner during the local news, flipping around from channel to channel without ever really watching any program from start to finish, and falling asleep on the couch. 'I could sit in on some college classes,' said Mayhew, finishing his third beer of the night. 'Would they let me do that? In college I used to do things all the time. Maybe it'd be like that again. You never know until you try.' 'Or a comedy class might be interesting,' he continued. 'I know they have those improv classes people can take.' He then remained silent for a few moments before picking up a Learning Annex brochure that sat alone on a narrow coffee table. Flipping through it, he revealed various listings lightly circled in red pencil. 'This one seems like it could be good,' said Mayhew, pointing to a seminar entitled 'Dare to Live Without Limits.' 'It's only a few hundred dollars to sign up, and I could swing that. Then again, it really doesn't sound much like my personality.' 'This pamphlet is from last fall, anyway,' he added. 'I should see if I can find a more recent one.' Mayhew has failed to commit to several other vague ideas that have flitted across his mind in recent years, including the possibility of taking courses in bicycle repair, gardening, pottery, 'How to Quit Smoking in 30 Days,' bird-watching, model shipbuilding, and Tai Chi. 'I don't think I'd do too well in a martial arts class, because I'm not very competitive, and I've never been any good at contact sports,' said Mayhew, his eyes downcast as he scratched the back of his head. 'But Tai Chi is basically just standing in one place and swinging your arms around, right? I could do that.' 'They also have something at the Y where they have you bouncing up and down on some kind of large inflatable ball,' he continued. 'Which sounds kind of fun.' Although Mayhew has continued to express interest in a variety of adult-education opportunities, it remains unclear whether he will ever summon the will to attend a class. Sources close to the pathetic man were not available for comment, as none particularly close to him exist.

2	Charlie Daniels SLAMS Congress For Funding Syrian Refugee Program Earlier this week, Congress passed an omnibus spending bill that is allowing $1.1 trillion to be spent in fulfilling Obamas agenda. This includes the Syrian Refugee program, where visas will be given to 300,000 Syrian refugees. Charlie Daniels has taken to Twitter in outrage over the passing of this bill. He is specifically mad at the Republicans that supported the bill. Two parties! I dont think so. We have the democrats and the others who are just along for the ride. Gutless bunch of losers. The Republicans have joined forces with the Democrats to make Obama a dictator Talk about contempt of congress. This is downright unacceptable. We agree with Daniels. The Republicans messed up big time. Do you think the immigration of Syrian Refugees will end poorly?

And while we often hear stories of children crossing the border, its important to remember that human trafficking is still a huge apart of the problem. Recently, a group of human traffickers were attempting to cross the border over the Rio Grande when they were intercepted by Texas authorities. Watch the video below from Fox News to see just what happens to the would-be illegal immigrants: While we are all overwhelmed with the crisis at the border, it is important to recognize these small victories. Until our government decides to take action, they may be all we have. 
2	Outrage After What Obama Just Did With His Daughter Sasha While it might be too late to turn things around for his daughter Malia, it seems the President Obama is desperately trying to instill values in his youngest daughter, Sasha. According to reports, Sasha Obama has been working a summer job at a restaurant in Marthas Vineyard. The 15-year-old has reportedly been spending four hours a day working at a seafood restaurant, waiting tables and working the cash register. This week, Obama took a break from the golf course to join his daughter on his shift and help her serve up food to customers. This may seem like a nice gesture, but the fact is Obama has some more important things to tend to. Were ready for a real president to be in the White House. 
1	Saying the forecast method had an extremely high degree of accuracy, political statistician Nate Silver announced Monday he had projected the results of Super Tuesdays presidential primary elections using a microscopic U.S. electorate he had grown in a petri dish. By growing a colony of 146 million micrometer-tall Americans in the FiveThirtyEight lab and subjecting them to a variety of electoral variables, Ive been able to predict the outcomes of all 13 primaries and caucuses that will be contested on Super Tuesday, wrote Silver in a post on his website, explaining that he had been careful to cultivate the voter population in a nutrient-rich agar medium so it was demographically identical to that of the United States, just at 1/2,000,000th the size. At that scale, election cycles progress approximately 4,000 times faster than in our environment, which allowed me to run hundreds of iterations of Super Tuesday on the microscopic electorate, varying such factors as last-minute political endorsements and the temperature in various regions on voting day with each individual test. This has yielded a high level of certainty about how Americans will vote tomorrow, and I can say that in 91 percent of all scenarios, microscopic Donald Trump had a very big day. Silver added that, based on his experiment, there was a roughly 3 percent chance that the Super Tuesday results would polarize the electorate to such a degree that they would begin attacking one another and attempting to feast on the others stores of sugar. 
3	What If We Adopted A System Where The Banks Did Not Create Our Money?Michael Snyder, Contributor The paper suggests that the world would be much better off if we adopted a system where the banks did not create our money. So instead of a system where more money is only created when more debt is created, we would have a system of debt-free money that is created directly by national governments. There have been others that have suggested such a system before, but to have an IMF research paper actually recommend that such a system be adopted is a very big deal. At the moment, the world is experiencing the biggest debt crisis in human history, and this proposal is being described as a radical solution that could potentially remedy some of our largest financial problems. Unfortunately, apologists for the current system are already viciously attacking this new IMF paper, and of course the big banks would throw a major fit if such a system was ever to be seriously contemplated. That is why it is imperative that we educate people about how money really works. One of the fundamental problems with our current financial system is that it is based on debt. Just take a look at the United States. The way our system works today, the vast majority of all money is created either when we borrow money or the government borrows money. Therefore, the creation of more money creates more debt. Under such a system, it should not be surprising that the total amount of debt in the United States is more than 30 times larger than it was just 40 years ago. At the height of the Great Depression a number of leading U.S. economists advanced a proposal for monetary reform that became known as the Chicago Plan. It envisaged the separation of the monetary and credit functions of the banking system, by requiring 100% reserve backing for deposits. Irving Fisher (1936) claimed the following advantages for this plan: (1) Much better control of a major source of business cycle fluctuations, sudden increases and contractions of bank credit and of the supply of bank-created money. (2) Complete elimination of bank runs. (3) Dramatic reduction of the (net) public debt. (4) Dramatic reduction of private debt, as money creation no longer requires simultaneous debt creation. We study these claims by embedding a comprehensive and carefully calibrated model of the banking system in a DSGE model of the U.S. economy. We find support for all four of Fishers claims. Why should banks be allowed to create money? That is a very good question. Why should sovereign governments ever have to borrow money from anyone? That is another very good question. Our current system is designed to enrich the bankers and get everyone else into debt. Taking the creation of money away from the bankers would have some tremendous advantages. A recent article by renowned financial journalist Ambrose Evans-Pritchard described some of these benefits One could slash private debt by 100pc of GDP, boost growth, stabilize prices, and dethrone bankers all at the same time. It could be done cleanly and painlessly, by legislative command, far more quickly than anybody imagined. The conjuring trick is to replace our system of private bank-created money roughly 97pc of the money supply with state-created money. We return to the historical norm, before Charles II placed control of the money supply in private hands with the English Free Coinage Act of 1666. Specifically, it means an assault on fractional reserve banking. If lenders are forced to put up 100pc reserve backing for deposits, they lose the exorbitant privilege of creating money out of thin air. The nation regains sovereign control over the money supply. There are no more banks runs, and fewer boom-bust credit cycles. So why dont we go to such a system immediately? Well, the transition to such a system would undoubtedly be a major shock to the global financial system, and most people try to avoid significant short-term pain even if there are tremendous long-term benefits. More importantly, however, is that the bankers have a tremendous amount of power in our society today, and they would move heaven and earth to keep a debt-free monetary system from ever being implemented. You see, the influence of the bankers is not just limited to the big banks. Our largest financial institutions (and the people who own them) also have large ownership stakes in the vast majority of the big Fortune 500 corporations. In essence, the big banks are at the very pinnacle of the establishment in the United States and in almost every other major country in the western world. And the vast majority of all political campaigns are funded by the establishment. It takes an enormous amount of money to win campaigns these days, and most politicians are extremely hesitant to bite the hands of those that feed them. So dont expect any changes to happen overnight. One proposal that has actually been put forward in Congress is to cancel all of the government debt that the Federal Reserve is currently holding. Right now, the Fed is holding more than 1.6 trillion dollars of U.S. government debt But the establishment would be horrified if such a thing happened, so I wouldnt anticipate it happening any time soon. Hopefully we can get the American people (along with people all over the globe) educated about these things so that we can start to get millions of people pushing for change. A debt-free monetary system is superior to a debt-based monetary system in so many ways. For example, if the U.S. government directly spent debt-free money into circulation, it could conceivably never need to borrow a single dollar ever again. If the government wanted to spend more money than it brought in, it would simply print it up and spend it. Of course the big danger with that would be inflation. That is why it would be imperative for there to be a hard cap on what the government could spend. For example, you could set the cap on spending by the federal government at 20 percent of GDP. That way we would never end up looking like the Weimar Republic. And the current federal debt could be paid down a little at a time using newly created debt-free dollars. This would have to be done slowly to keep inflation under control, but it could be done. That way we would not hand a 16 trillion dollar debt to our children and our grandchildren. We created this mess so we should clean it up. Theoretically you could also do away with the federal income tax if you wanted to. Personally, I would like to see the federal government be funded to a large degree by tariffs on foreign goods. That would also have the side benefit of bringing millions of jobs back into the United States. Our system of income tax collection is just so incredibly inefficient. It costs us mind boggling amounts of time and money. Just consider the following stats from one of my previous articles 1 The U.S. tax code is now 3.8 million words long. If you took all of William Shakespeares works and collected them together, the entire collection would only be about 900,000 words long. 2 According to the National Taxpayers Union, U.S. taxpayers spend more than 7.6 billion hours complying with federal tax requirements. Imagine what our society would look like if all that time was spent on more economically profitable activities. 3 75 years ago, the instructions for Form 1040 were two pages long. Today, they are 189 pages long. 4 There have been 4,428 changes to the tax code over the last decade. It is incredibly costly to change tax software, tax manuals and tax instruction booklets for all of those changes. 5 According to the National Taxpayers Union, the IRS currently has 1,999 different publications, forms, and instruction sheets that you can download from the IRS website. 6 Our tax system has become so complicated that it is almost impossible to file your taxes correctly. For example, back in 1998 Money Magazine had 46 different tax professionals complete a tax return for a hypothetical household. All 46 of them came up with a different result. 7 In 2009, PC World had five of the most popular tax preparation software websites prepare a tax return for a hypothetical household. All five of them came up with a different result. 8 The IRS spends $2.45 for every $100 that it collects in taxes. For long stretches of our history the United States did not have any income tax, and during those times we thrived. It is entirely conceivable that we could return to such a system. At this point, the wealthy have become absolute masters at hiding their wealth from taxation. According to the IMF, a total of 18 trillion dollars is currently being hidden in offshore banks. What we are doing right now produces very inequitable results and it is not working. In many ways, inflation would be a much fairer tax than the income tax because inflation taxes each dollar equally. Nobody would be able to cheat the system. But if people really love the IRS and the federal income tax, we could keep them under a debt-free money system. I just happen to think that the IRS and the federal income tax are both really bad ideas that have never served the interests of the American people. In any event, hopefully you can see that there is a much broader range of solutions to our problems than the two major political parties have been presenting to us. We do not have to allow the banks to create our money. The federal government does not have to go into more debt. We dont actually need the Federal Reserve. There are alternatives to the federal income tax and the IRS. Yes, it is very true that no system would be perfect. But clearly the path that we are on is only going to lead to disaster. U.S. government finances are a complete and total nightmare, and this mountain of debt that we have accumulated is going to absolutely destroy us if we allow it to. So somebody out there should be proposing a fundamental change in direction for our financial system. Unfortunately, our politicians are just proposing more of the same, and we all know where that is going to lead. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse.

1	Spanning nearly half of a city block as they rallied to support the freedoms of unscrupulous citizens, the nations 30 fraudulent voters reportedly marched on Washington, D.C. Sunday to restore the Voting Rights Act. It is crucial for our great nation to protect the rights of every single citizen who wants to vote more than once, Miami resident Tanya Bruton said to the assembled mass of more than two dozen Americans who were protesting policies that have made voting under a false name far more difficult. The erosion of these rights is the only thing keeping .000001 percent of Americans from heading to polling places and stuffing ballot boxes. We will not stop fighting until these restrictions are lifted. At press time, sources confirmed that the chants of the nations entire fraudulent voter population were drowned out by a large group of eighth graders on a field trip. 
1	AL-SHATI, GAZA STRIPSaying he hardly recognized some of the makeshift buildings and piles of rubble he played in as a child, Gaza native Ramzy Abu-Dhubah told reporters Tuesday he was struck by how much the refugee camp he grew up in has changed over the years. As he walked through his old stomping grounds in Al-Shati, a 0.3-square-mile camp currently home to 87,000 displaced Palestinians, the 36-year-old remarked how the whole area seemed more bustling and crowded to him now than it did when he was a boy. So many of the spots where I used to hang out are gone, and theyve all been replaced by new homesI guess this place has really been growing, Abu-Dhubah said as he pointed out a demolished concrete structure filled with improvised mud-brick shelters that had not been there when he left Gaza in 1999. This used to be an empty lot where Id play soccer, but theres got to be a few dozen families that have moved in here now. They put in one of those big ration-distribution centers, too. My buddy Ibrahim was telling me thats where pretty much everyone goes to eat these days. Its so surreal to think about these young kids today still being crammed into the same little rooms, doing all the things my classmates and I did way back when. Oh, man, it looks like they even knocked down the old U.N. health clinic I used to go to as a kid, he continued. Thats really too bad. Reminiscing about the camp where he spent the first 21 years of his life, Abu-Dhubah observed that, while many of the cramped, narrow alleyways and contaminated water wells were just as he remembered them, there were a lot more Red Cross and Red Crescent triage stations than he recalled. At one point, he acknowledged getting lost amid the wreckage-strewn streets, saying he couldnt get over how many people had put up new tents in the past few years. My old school is still here, but I almost didnt recognize it with the north wall completely caved in like that, Abu-Dhubah said. Its so surreal to think about these young kids today still being crammed into the same little rooms, doing all the things my classmates and I did way back when: sitting in the dark through power outages, playing in the open sewer at recess, dodging artillery shells and mortar blasts, burning trash. He added, I guess some things never do change, you know? Abu-Dhubah paused a moment before he continued, admitting that the flood of memories from his youth had made him a bit emotional. Later, he showed reporters the 144-square-foot concrete room where he grew up, noting that his once quiet and unassuming side street was now cluttered with new residents and shrapnel. Ive seen a lot of familiar faces since Ive been backits amazing how many of the same families are still around after all these years, Abu-Dhubah said. My friends always used to talk about how theyd get out of here, but most of them never did. Sure, Bashirs in an Israeli prison these days, and I heard Ahmad and his kids have been gone since that IDF attack in 2014, but pretty much all the rest are still in the camp, and theyve got families of their own now. My grandma has been here, what, 67 years now? he continued. Shes not going anywhere.Abu-Dhubah says the main street of his childhood refugee camp looks completely different now with all its new missile craters. 
2	Public School Forces Students To Write Essay Bashing George W. Bush According to recent reports, one sixth grade teacher took a comparative essay assignment a little too far, and is finding themselves deep in hot water. Reportedly, the teacher asked students to write an essay that compared President Bush to Hitler. The school, located in Washington D.C., has been known for assignments that relate to politics. However, this assignment was more controversial than most, especially since it required students to explain why Bush and Hitler were alike. It is absurd to compare the presidency of President Bush to the Holocaust, but students were given a textbook to learn about the role of power in Hitlers reign. They were also asked to take a look at the role of power during Bushs presidency. What do you think of this assignment? Would you let your child write this paper? 
2	BREAKING: Articles Of Impeachment For Barack Hussein Obama Have Been Delivered Well, it looks like President Obama may actually be held accountable for his actions, thanks to the recent Articles of Impeachment drafted by Michael Connelly. Still, some wonder whether Obama can actually be impeached, given that he probably illegally obtained his position in the White House in the first place. Although Mr. Obama may have succeeded in gaining physical access to the office-space a legitimate President of the United States occupies in the White House, he never acquired legal access to the Office of President because not being a natural born Citizen, he was never constitutionally eligible, writes Dr. Viera in his article Thought Must Precede Action. Still, should someone argue the need for a formal process of impeachment, Connellys articles are a step in the right direction. As a respected lawyer, Connelly makes some strong and fact-based arguments that makes it clear that leaving Obama in the White House another day would be a big mistake. What do you think? Is it time we kicked Obama out of the White House for good? 
3	Cloned Beef: A Rockefeller StoryDoes anybody really know whats for dinner? What interests are creating these brave new foods, anyway? A dangerous trend is cementing into place, where GMO foods, aspartame added to milk and cloned meat can all enter the marketplace without being labeled or even officially announced to the public. And while a major controversy has erupted over labeling genetically modified food staples, commonly mixed in with a wide array of foods, we are told that cloned beef may not even be identifiable or distinguishable, and may already be in our food supply. Are we eating cloned meat? (Ask Rockefeller) The FDA gave assurances in 2008 that it is totally safe; but if any risks are identified, how will the public even know whats on the end of its fork? The FDA lifted what was already only a voluntary ban on these cloned meats, so it may well have already entered the market unlabeled. Even more disconcerting are a few of the major ties found in the history of breeding cattle, chickens and other livestock in this country. The grandson of John D. Rockefeller was Skull Bones initiate class of 1928 John Rockefeller Prentice a pioneer of artificial insemination whose firm revolutionized the breeders market from a regional-only stud basis to the capability to sire genetically superior cattle nationally and worldwide with ease both for beef and dairy production through the possibilities afforded by freezing bull semen. The advances made at Mount Hope provided the foundation for John Rockefeller Prentices work in cattle breeding. His company American Breeders Service (ABS), founded in 1941, became a giant in the industry, and very much on thecutting edge of artificial insemination and, eventually, cloning. By 1953, it was the first to produce a living calf in the U.S. from frozen semen. Prentice sold the company to W.R. Grace amid failing health ahead of his death in 1972. By 1988, ABS Global Inc. became the first firm to clone bulls from a split embryo, and later, by 1997 achieved a major breakthrough, cloning the first cow from a single somatic cell, then under ownership by Protein Genetics, Inc. Today they have been absorbed by Genus, plc. and are part of a major biotech enterprise servicing 3 million beef and dairy cows produced with ABS semen each year in 70 countries all over the world. Whats really in your food? And who defines what food is anyway? A clone of a clone of a clone? It should be noted at the time ABS announced they had unveiled a new stem-cell based technique for cloning cows back in 1997, many leaders in the biotech industry called it a giant leap toward approval for cloning humans. The Sun Sentinel reported: The apparent ease with which the ABS technique can convert specialized cells into stem cells not only improves the commercial viability of cloning, it also may remove some of the ethical barriers that led the commission to advise against human cloning, Charo said. When the presidential commission recommended against human cloning, it did so because we saw the Scottish technique as being too unsafe now to try on human babies, she said. If stem-cell cloning eliminates those safety problems, it moves us forward more quickly to the point at which human cloning is at least safe. [emphasis added] As reported in 1997 news articles, the major incentive for ABS Global or any cloning firm is to increase beef production. In turn, it is hope that cloned animals can aid in increased production through genetic improvement, for more beef and diary products per head, through of course, genetic modification. Further, as Deseret News reported back in 1997, some hope to add genes for the production of drugs so-called pharming for pharmaceutical drugs and components using cloned cattle as a viable vector for this production: Clones, produced without sexual reproduction, are exact genetic duplicates of another animal. Cloned cattle would be useful because they could be genetically manipulated to produce impressive amounts of milk or beef. [] Cloning might also allow the insertion of genes that would cause a sheep or cow to produce drugs or other valuable substances in its milk. Are any genetically-modified beef products on the market today? Are we eating cloned beef? Without labeling or any sort of public declaration to confirm or refute this, but rather a laissez faire attitude from the leading federal regulatory agencies, those questions are very difficult to answer. Many who follow the issue closely say it is only a matter of time, if not already too late.

3	Indoor Test Animals Prove the Need for SunlightHeather Callaghan But a report from the American Journal of Veterinary Research is highlighting the very real health problems that occur while living with a lack of sunlight for animals and humans. In rabbits (test subjects or pets), low vitamin D levels lead to cardiovascular issues, weak immune systems and poor dental health similar to humans. Test rabbits growing up in a lab fare worse; vitamin D deficiency is even skewing test results. Lead researcher, Mark Mitchell said: He said: He warns that this problem is undermining research testing and wants to see pets and subjects have a better life. Fortunately, they discovered that regular exposure to artificial UVB light for just two weeks doubled the rabbits serum vitamin D levels. What can the sun do for you? Recently, more scientists have come forward emphasizing sunlight to prevent heart disease. It is a metabolism in the body that is not duplicated by supplements. They also find it reduces death from all causes, and they stress that it outweighs any risk because it leads to longer life. If extended hours in the sun has you worried about exposure and sunburn, you might enjoy making your own sunscreen without the chemicals that accompany store-bought sunscreen lotions. Interestingly, adding vegetables and fruits (like grapes) to your diet provides the perfect internal sunscreen while still allowing the good rays. Adding clean animal fats and removing hydrogenated oils can do the same thing!

1	The steady, back-and-forth motions of a 1979 Ford Econoline van sent 'a clear message' to local resident Paul Dunne Monday, discouraging him from knocking. 'I needed a jump-start for my car, and the closest vehicle was this van,' Dunne said. 'I was about to knock on the back window, but when I noticed that the van was clearly rocking, I didn't bother.' Dunne instead received assistance from an adjacent, non-rocking vehicle. 
1	BURBANK, CADays after doctors at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center told him he had less than two months to live, sitcom writer Joey Kaplan expressed regret that he never accomplished all he could have in his series. Kaplan ponders his loss from the bed of his Burbank hospice. 'I had so many plans for my show, so many dream sequences yet to fulfill,' said Kaplan, co-creator and executive producer of the CBS sitcom Still Standing, which focuses on the domestic life of Chicago father Bill Miller, his wife Judy, and children Brian and Lauren. 'But it was always the same thing: 'I'll do it next season.'' Though Kaplan, who has advanced lymphoma, made it through 82 episodes of the show, a fixture on CBS's Monday-night lineup, he still laments the fact that he will never get to take his sitcom family to Florida for a Disney vacation episode, watch Brian reach adulthood and get his first apartment in what he assumed was an upscale loft but is actually a condemned property, or witness Judy giving birth to a healthy baby boy while stuck in an elevator. 'It hurts to think of all the half-hours wasted on routine plots,' said an emotional Kaplan. 'All the class reunions, forgotten anniversaries, new neighbors, bouts of amnesia, living-room weddings, surprise inheritances from distant relatives that end up being worthless, and blind dates disrupted by the meddlesome dad that I'm going to miss out on when I'm gone.' Added Kaplan, 'It's tragic to know I'll never hear the sound of canned laughter again.' Kaplan says he has lately found comfort in favorite passages from his series bible. 'I take solace in the words and one-liners of Jess, the ribald Mexican delivery guy whom I now wish could have been a larger presence in my show,' Kaplan said. 'I never got the chance to tell him how important he was to the series.' According to caretakers at his Burbank hospice, Kaplan spends much of his time watching videos of his sitcom family and friends. 'Joey wishes he'd gotten to know his characters more, especially the kids,' said patient-care coordinator Rosalba Cruz. 'We all try to tell him that we're sure he did everything he could for them, and that they're all better off for being created by him.' 'Look at little Brian here,' Kaplan said, watching the show's nerdy overachieving son take his very first steps on-screen through a swinging kitchen door. 'I'll never forget the first thing he said: 'Dad, what do you do to impress a girl?' As I recall, Bill's response had something to do with belching.' Kaplan tearfully rued living 'episode to episode' rather than focusing on the big series picture. 'My characters made lots of friendslike the kindly old man at the senior center who turned out to be Santa Clausbut they never kept in touch with them for more than one show,' he said. 'And why did I make Bill so self-absorbed and childish? Sometimes I wish I could reach into that TV and shake the living daylights out of him. That's a beautiful, beautiful family he has, but all he ever thinks about is beer and sports.' Still Standing co-creator Diane Burroughs has promised to carry on with the show, starting with a 'very special' episode based on Kaplan's terminal illness. 'Bill misunderstands a doctor's diagnosis and thinks he's going to die, so he goes on a mad spree,' Burroughs said. 'Long story short, he maxes out the credit card and breaks his leg skydiving. This is for you, Joey.' Kaplan said he just hopes the children he and Burroughs created will someday grow up to have children of their own during a flash-forward fantasy episode.

1	Teleporting via wormhole from points across all of space and time, thousands of parallel world leaders have arrived in Washington, D.C. for this years interdimensional summit, sources reported Wednesday. Organizers confirmed President Obama has greeted heads of state from more than 2,000 alternative realities, a gathering of leaders that includes 139 different versions of himself, a parallel U.S. president Mitt Romney, a pulsing being of pure electrostatic energy, Earth-7491s King Lyndon B. Johnson IV, and a hooded group of unspeaking figures known only as the Council. The annual talks are expected to focus once again on brokering trade agreements among the parallel worlds, as well as officially admitting the governments of Neo-Pangea and the Corporate States of America, LLC into the group, and confronting the Roman Empires continued tyranny across much of the infinite set of possible world histories. The Washington summit marks the third annual interdimensional gathering of parallel world leaders, following last years summit in Stalingrad and the 2014 summit held in a boundless expanse of undifferentiated grayness. Though we hail from vastly different cultures, political systems, and laws of physics, today we gather together to address the most pressing challenges of the multiverse head-on, said Supreme Leader Michael Dukakis, president for life of the Pan-American Peoples Republic, giving the summits opening address. We must work together to fight the spread of hyperspatial neuro-pox, address the plight of refugees fleeing those universes that are rapidly contracting to a single point, and find ways to manage our respective Israeli-Palestinian conflicts. Dukakis later added, Id like to extend a special hello to those joining us by video conference, an accommodation weve provided to those distinguished leaders who could not be here in person because they cannot exist in fewer than 27 dimensions. According to sources, the tensest moment of the talks so far came about when a conjoined symbiotic entity composed of three Chancellor Angela Merkels arose and called for severing diplomatic relations with Earth-214X1, whose lengthy list of human rights abuses allegedly includes institutional discrimination and often brutal violence against left-handed peoples. The proposal reportedly led to heated debate among the delegates, with several representatives storming out of the proceedings either in protest or to be resupplied with life-sustaining strontium. In a smaller breakout session held later in the day, however, representatives from Adams, D.C. reportedly achieved a major diplomatic victory after convincing recalcitrant delegates from New Tehran to submit to periodic third-party inspections of their telepathic weapons program. On the agenda for later this week, high-ranking officials will discuss the future of the General Treaty of the Known Cosmological Expanse, which has been in effect since interdimensional standard year 10,494,385, but in recent eons has been violated repeatedly by the sentient bubbles of probability that inhabit Earth-4201(i2). Sources said the assembled leaders may vote as early as Saturday on whether to impose Bayesian statistical sanctions on the beings. The worlds represented here have engaged in their fair share of feuds in the past, between different ethnic groups, within the various digitized clone populations, and, of course, along mammal-reptile lines, said a fetal diplomat known only as Riley from within his computer-controlled amniotic mech-sac. But we always seem to find common ground. Most recently, we worked together to liberate millions from beneath the draconian boot heel of the Swiss. The Washington summit marks the third annual interdimensional gathering of parallel world leaders, following last years summit in Stalingrad and the 2014 summit held in a boundless expanse of undifferentiated grayness. The key moment of the proceedings is likely to arrive tomorrow, according to experts, when President Obama is scheduled to come face-to-face with the 18-foot-tall half-human, half-prawn Galactic Overlord Obama. Political analysts have stated that if the president offers to shake one of the 26 hands of his crustaceanoid counterpart, it could signal a willingness to negotiate, but he may well avoid the handshake, fearing the gesture could be mistakenly interpreted as a sign that he tacitly accepts the overlords trafficking in mind-slaves from the Hyades cluster. A number of experts, however, have criticized the summit, arguing that it brings together only representatives from the largest superpower universes and neglects the innumerable other realities of the broader multiverse, providing little more than a photo op for those members of the elite group who appear in the visible spectrum. The interdimensional summit has been accused of failing to address the most pervasive problems in the totality of existence, and thats a fair criticism, said 21st-term U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt. I agree that weve come up short on many important issues. Honestly, Im just hoping this time around we finally find the collective will to stand up to Vladimir Putin. Especially before he evolves from his larval form into a far more dangerous full-grown adult, he added. 
1	During the cool-down lap that followed 'Curlin's' victory celebration immediately after the supposed three-year-old won the Belmont Stakes, loud arguing could be heard coming from inside the horse costume as veteran sprinters Carl Lewis and Michael Johnson discussed which man would pose as the rear of the 5-to-3 favorite in the upcoming Belmont stakes. 'Man, I was the damn butt-end this time. It's no picnic running behind your washed-up ass, you know? Next time I get to be out front and you get to be whupped on the shoulders,' said a voice presumed to be that of world-record holder Johnson. 'Hell no, man, no way I'm pushing no slow little dude all the way around Belmont, you hear me? We won with me in front and we're winning with me in front next month, so you best just get used to it back there,' said a voice sounding much like that of Olympic legend Lewis. Although it seems unlikely jockey Robby Alborado could have avoided hearing the argument occurring within his 'colt,' witnesses say Alborado merely stared unblinkingly ahead through the exchange, squirming slightly. 
1	Unable to picture where in the Grand Realm the destroyed fortress was in relation to the dreaded desert of Quiltar, a fully grown adult man referred to the map on the opening pages of the fantasy novel The Tower Of Astalon Friday to determine the location of the ruined castle of Arnoth, accounts confirmed. Oh, so its just east of the Shrouded Moors, sources overheard the 36-year-old man, who reportedly has a college degree and holds down an office job, mutter to himself as he carefully studied the books illustrated map, conferring between the detailed legend and inset of the former Perrigoth stronghold that was razed by the Rynn-Thak Horde. I didnt realize it was so close to the Outlands and the Calbram Gate. I wonder if thats considered Tsylar territory? At press time, the father of two could be seen poring over the books comprehensive family tree depicting the lineage of the quarreling Azalak and Sarridian clans, confirming the relationship between the dark conjurer Landon and Lady Erroweigh. 
3	Local Cops Following Big Brothers Lead, Getting Cell Phone Location Data Without a WarrantEFF It looks like local law enforcement agencies are taking their lead from the federal government, who has been using cell location data obtained without a search warrant for years. In another case, the government hasappealedto the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to reverse the decision of a magistrate judge who we supported in anamicus brief that required the government to obtain a search warrant in order to obtain cell tracking information. A magistrate judge in Massachusetts (PDF), and a district court judge in Maryland (PDF) have recently reached the opposite conclusion, ruling that the government didnt need a search warrant to obtain cell location data. To civil liberties organizations like us and the ACLU, the privacy implications of obtaining this data without a search warrant are obvious and troubling. But it seems that at least one law enforcement agency recognized the likely public outrage too.The New York Times reports that the Iowa City Police Department warned officers in a training manual not to mention to the public or the media the use of cellphone technology or equipment used to locate the targeted subject, and even to keep them out of police reports. But the story doesnt just end with location data. Because once the police find the phone theyve been tracking, its getting easier (and more frequent)for them to search the contents of the phone without a warrant, and to obtain reams of your personal data in minutes. A video demonstration posted online byMicro Systemation, a Swedish mobile forensics company that sells its devices to law enforcement agencies, demonstratedhow easily police can crack a cell phones security and suck all of the data out in seconds. Unsurprisingly, once the videowentviral last week, itwas pulled from YouTube. And as weve noted before, recent court decisions have allowed the police to search an arrested persons cell phone incident to arrest without a warrant, or any reason to believe they will find anything incriminating on it. The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals is the latest court to authorize this practice, issuing a decision (PDF) in February finding no Fourth Amendment violation in a warrantless search of a cell phone of an arrested person. The police have now been armed to turn any pretextual arrest say, an Occupy Wall Street arrest for disorderly conduct into a cell phone fishing expedition, getting access to your calendar, contacts, emails, text messages, voicemails and reading and web browsing history. All this gloom and doom can be fixed in two ways. First, courts need to recognize that the Fourth Amendment prohibits pervasive and sustained government surveillance unless the police get a search warrant. For centuries, the governments biggest limitation was technological; it was difficult if not impossible to follow a person for days at a time. But with surveillance tools becoming smaller and cheaper, its easier for the government to use surveillance information from our own cars to investigate mundane, non-violent crimes. The Fourth Amendment needs to keep up with the changes in technology in order for its longstanding privacy protections to have meaning. Second, Congress needs to step up and update our electronic privacy laws. The law that governs cell phone location data the Electronic Communications Privacy Act(ECPA) is more than 25 years old, enacted in a time where cell phones were far from ubiquitous. The law has been unable to keep up with the rapid technological changes that have occurred since 1986, and the conflicting court opinions on the constitutionality of warrantless cell phone location tracking noted above is the end result. Its time for Congress to reexamine the law and bring it in line with our expectations of privacy today. You can do your part by getting informed and checking out the ACLUs location data map to figure out whether the cops where you live use location tracking data. Regardless of whether or not you live in a state where the cops track, you can tell Congress that its time to fix our broken and ancient technology laws by signing our action alert, and taking a stand to protect our locational privacy from the prying eyes of the government. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	Marine Steps In When Thug Attacks Cop [VIDEO] At a time when respect for law enforcement is at an all-time low, stories like this serve as a glimmer of hope for those who risk their lives to ensure our safety. When Scott Perkins, a Marine veteran, drove by a Texas cop getting beaten by a thug on the side of the road, he knew he had to take action. The two-tour veteran yelled Freeze! at the suspect, pointing his concealed gun at him. 32-year-old Kenton Desean Fryer quickly released the officer and fled the scene. He was eventually caught and charged with aggravated assault of a public servant, taking an officers weapon, evading arrest or detention with a vehicle and driving while under the influence with a child under 15. Im alive today because of him, 23-year-old Bastrop Deputy Dylan Dorris told reporters. What he did to step in and help me out until assistance got theretheres no words to explain it. At that point, you dont even think about your own life or anything else, Perkins commented, referencing the values he learned in the Marine Corps. All youre trying to do is stop the situation from anybody else getting injured. In this day and time, a lot of times people would just drive by and keep goingto see someone that will stop and help is special, the officer concluded. Fryers bond has now been set at $50,000.

'This car's price isn't inflated by sturdy, impact-resistant steel, is it?' Menden asked the salesman. 'Safety's important, but I don't want to blow a fortune on luxuries.' Menden, who always drives during outings with wife Cheryl, also passed on the optional passenger-side airbag. 
2	Police Arrest ISIS Terrorist Mohammad Uddin After Fleeing Syria For THIS Ridiculous Reason A 29-year-old British man named Mohammad Uddin, who recently traveled to Syria to join ISIS, returned to the UK. He went to Syria to join the terrorist group ISIS in November of 2014, but returned to the UK a year later. The reason he came back? Bland food, he said, and doing absolute jack. Also, he thought that it was too cold there. The most ironic part? When he first traveled to Syria to join ISIS, the man nicknamed himself Superman. Some Super hero. Too cold for you, Mohammad? Mohammad had bragged to a friend in the UK about how easy it is to cross the border between Turkey and Syria. He messaged him, saying: Lol bro, its soo easy to get in man, especially during the day, alhamdulillah, we walked in, no running bro. Dont worry inshallah, dont stress about getting in here. Its p*** easy. One week later, Uddin was detained by Turkish officials attempting to cross the border, and shipped back to the UK. There he was arrested for preparing acts of terrorism, and has subsequently been sentenced to 7 years in prison. Whats hard to really understand is how can Syria be too cold for you, and you choose to go back to London where the winter cold can reach -10 degrees?! It looks like now, Mohammad will get to enjoy more cold weather, bland food and doing absolutely jack in a British prison. 
2	Ben Carson And Donald Trump Make History, This Is Going To Change Everything After weeks of speculation, its finally official. Dr. Ben Carson has just accepted President-elect Donald Trumps invitation to be the leader of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The choice is a victory for those who originally supported Carson for the presidency. Ben Carson has a brilliant mind and is passionate about strengthening communities and families within those communities, Trump said of his decision. We have talked at length about my urban renewal agenda and our message of economic revival, very much including our inner cities. Ben shares my optimism about the future of our country and is part of ensuring that this is a Presidency representing all Americans, he continued. He is a tough competitor and never gives up. After Trump issued his statement, Carson confirmed with Fox News that he had accepted it. After serious discussions with the Trump transition team, I feel I can make a significant contribution particularly to making our inner cities great for everyone, Carson wrote in his statement. We have much work to do in strengthening every aspect of our nation and ensuring that both our physical infrastructure and our spiritual infrastructure is solid. An announcement is forthcoming about my role in helping to make America great again. What do you think? Is Ben Carson a good choice for this position? 
2	She Took 43 Wooden Pallets, Sanded, Stacked And Painted Them. What She Made Will Make Any Backyard Awesome This project is honestly one of the most worthwhile ones weve ever posted. Spring is just on the horizon. What does that mean? The temperature will start to go up, people will start wearing shorts and t-shirts, and outdoor activities will be back in season. That means barbecues and other gatherings outside will abound! And this DIY project offers an awesome way to improve your backyard immensely through the addition of a patio. All it takes are wooden pallets, which can be relatively cheap and abundant. From the imgur album, redheadfox explained how she and her husband made such a cool outdoor patio out of 43 wooden pallets: First they sanded down 43 raw pallets to make them smooth to the touch. In the sanding, they removed dirt. Then they painted all of the pallets with primer and a coat of white paint, which they used a painting gun for. While they were drying, the laid out a 19 x 13 foot rectangle of geotextile fabric to serve as the base of their patio over the grass. Then, with some extra pallets, they even made some benches to complete the patio! Check out the video belowthis is definitely a must-do DIY project for Spring! 
3	They called me a conspiracy theorist on the CBS 6 News Report on ChemtrailsFlow of Wisdom Radio Related selfnews Post Articles: Well, duh. He is one. Watch that Holmberg guy just lie like its nothing. He knows the truth. Mr Anthony made a significant error by using the word chemtrails in his attempt to expose climate engineering, which is the popular, over-used, non-science term for Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering (SAG); I say error, b/c the word chemtrails is heavily associated and entangled with the weaponized phrase conspiracy theorist which the MSM, the Matrix, the authorities, the Establishment, TPTB (pick your IDer) ALWAYS use to great effect to discredit the whistleblower and to dissuade others from any further inquiry Geoengineering and advanced, weaponized weather modification technologies EXIST and are FULLY operational in the skies above our heads and have been for DECADES. 
2	Obama Reveals Post Presidency Plans This Is Sickening According to recent reports, President Obama and his family are planning an extended trip to New York. Reports indicate that the first family is considering living in New York when they leave the White House. They want New York, plain and simple, a source close to the Obamas told Sneed. Its not an unusual decision. The Clintons moved to New York after Bill Clinton left the presidency. Its a happening place. As you might imagine, this is not welcome news for New Yorkers. They love the vibe in New York and dont plan to have their main residence in Chicago, a second source confirmed. Is Chicago not big enough anymore? Im told the Obamas feel New York is the right place to be for the next phase of their lives. I dont think the emotional tie to Chicago is what it once was. Perhaps not sophisticated enough. What do you think of the Obamas rumored move? Are they too sophisticated for Chicago? 
2	Tucker Carlson Obliterates Meryl Streep For Her Disgusting Speech Like many of us, Fox News host Tucker Carlson was disgusted by actress Meryl Streeps decision to use her stage time at the Golden Globes to disrespect our countrys 45th President. In the past, Carlson has been very blunt about his dislike of the liberals who run Hollywoodand this was no exception. They cant accept the election results for the same reason their business model is crumbling and Hollywood wont exist in its present form in 20 years, Carlson claimed. Hollywood is going out of business because they dont understand the country they are selling a product to. Theyre completely out of touch because theyre rich and entitled. Tucker then focused in on Streep, specifically. Here you have a rich and entitled person describing herself as an outside, an outcast. Look, she doesnt like Trumpthats totally finelots of people dont, he added. Youre allowed to feel that way, but what I was so struck by is she was telling a crowd exactly what they wanted to hear. She was saying things that are totally uncontroversial within the context she was speaking. Thats the least courageous thing you can do. Carlson didnt stop there. To be in a room full of rich Hollywood liberals and say liberal thingsI mean, it would be really interesting, and cool by the way, if she were to stand up and say something they disagreed withIt just annoys me, he concluded. What do you think? Do you agree with Carlson? Was Streeps decision absolutely tasteless?

3	Good News: Jury Nullification is Interfering With Marijuana ConvictionsLily Dane In his NY Times piece titled Jurors Need to Know That They Can Say No, Paul Butler explained the history and purpose of nullification: Ed Forchion is also known as NJ Weedman. Hes a medical marijuana patient who was diagnosed with bone cancer 13 years ago. A New Jersey state trooper pulled Forchion over for a minor traffic violation in 2010. That stop escalated into a search of his vehicle, during which police found more than a pound of marijuana and a large amount of cash. Forchion faced up to 10 years in prison for possession with intent to distribute, but he took a unique approach to his jury trial: he represented himself in court, and argued not only for his innocence but also against the morality of the law itself. Here, he shares his story with Reason TV: In 2012, 59-year-old New Hampshire resident Doug Darrell was arrested after a National Guard helicopter flying over his home found he was growing 15 marijuana plants in his backyard. At Darrells trial, jurors nullified the case against him. His case was unusual during the trial, the judge, per request from defense attorney Mark Sisti, notified the jury of their nullification power by reading them the following: Last June, New Hampshire passed a bill that explicitly allows defense attorneys to tell jurors about jury nullification. But many courts still do not inform juries of the right to nullify, and some say prosecutors will weed out potential jurors who reveal that they are aware of that right, per the Informed Jury Association: Jury nullification works, and its exactly why the prohibition of alcohol was overturned years ago. If you are summoned for jury duty and would like to know how to jury nullification works, Steve Silverman of Flex Your Rights explains the process here.

1	Reflecting on the repeated drubbings they have doled out since the process began six months ago, advisers for Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio confirmed Wednesday they are secretly enjoying totally destroying him during their practice debates. Campaign staffers, who admitted to privately referring to the Florida senator as a human punching bag, acknowledged the immense level of satisfaction they derive from dominating Rubio when standing in as his Republican opponents, be it by systematically dismantling his every argument, exposing his limited knowledge of labor relations and environmental policy, or simply outshining him as an orator. Getting up there and completely embarrassing him in front of the rest of the campaign leadership is easily the best part of my day, said senior strategist Grant Hutchinson, admitting that he would always fondly remember their first mock debate, when he immediately wiped the smug look of self-assurance off Rubios face with a single barbed question. Last week, I challenged him to name one reason why we should trade with Saudi Arabia but not Cuba, and he started fumbling over his words and grasping at straws. I made it quite clear that he didnt know what the hell he was talking about, and he just had to stand there quietly and take it. God, it felt so damn good, he added. While originally hoping to help Rubio polish his speaking points and delivery ahead of the nationally televised events, aides said they now attend practice sessions largely to watch the candidate become visibly frustrated at their well-articulated counterarguments on subjects ranging from U.S. oil importation to health care. Advisers confirmed that the most difficult part of their job is simply keeping a straight face when Rubio flashes his deer-in-the-headlights look each time his ignorance of a particular topic is revealed or he begins to lose his train of thought. Saying the brutal 90-minute sessions always end too soon, staff members conceded that they frequently go out for dinner together afterwards for a chance to share laughs about the days exchanges and relive the abuse they forced Rubio to endure. Campaign sources confirmed they also use their outings to trade tips on how best to badger and antagonize the candidate, reportedly egging one another on to humiliate him in upcoming exercises by taking advantage of his overeagerness and inability to think on his feet. I can tell all the practice is starting to wear on him, especially after I twisted the knife on reproductive rights during yesterdays prep session, said staffer Aaron Merchant, who giddily recalled how he left the overwhelmed candidate sighing and stammering for at least 20 seconds following a question on paid maternity leave. Eventually, I decided I should lay off him for a while to help build his confidence back up. I stopped rebutting each of his statements and correcting his factual errors, and after a few minutes he really started to look comfortable. Which made it that much sweeter when I hit him with a pointed one-liner about his inconsistent position on national security spending and cut him right back down again, he added, smiling. You shouldve seen it; he went as white as a sheet! Using Wednesdays Republican primary debate in Colorado as an excuse, campaign members told reporters theyve recently been running Rubio through two, sometimes three mock debates a day, solely for the additional opportunities to watch him squirm. Sources added that there is often considerable infighting among staff members over who will have the chance to stand in as Rubios opponent each morning, as well as daily side bets regarding how long it will take before the candidate begins nervously sweating through his shirt. A couple days ago, we had to cancel a debate prep session after a campaign stop in New Hampshire went long, which was really disappointing for us, said staffer Lisa Wilson, noting how Rubio, on the other hand, appeared visibly relieved and upbeat for the remainder of that day. Wed really been looking forward to raking him over the coals for the immigration bill he sponsored, but we couldnt. We made sure to schedule a double session the next day though, and, boy, did we ever tear him to shreds. Honest to God, there was a point there where I thought he might start crying. At this point, were working as hard as we can around the clock to help him win the nomination, she added. That way, we can lay into him even harder ahead of the general election debates.

The footage shows Higgins backed by a group of law enforcement officers and community officials. He tells the gang members that they are being hunted for armed robbery and murder. Higgins then addresses one of the gang members specifically by name, looking dead into the camera. Darren Carter, you think men like these are afraid of an uneducated, 125 pound punk like you, thats never won a fair fight in your life and holds your gun sideways? Higgins asks. Young man, Ill meet you on solid group anytime, light or heavy, makes no difference to me. You wont walk away. Look at you! Higgins continues. Men like us, son, we do dumbbell presses with weights bigger than you. Higgins then encourages members of the community to stand up and take a stand. And for those who will use this message to create false racial division in our country, take a close look behind me, Higgins concludes. Standing next to every cop is a leader of our black community. This is not about race, its about right versus wrong. Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

On Saturday, college football broke a record with the most in-person watched game in history. 156,9990 people attended the event. The Tennessee Volunteers played Virginia Tech at Bristol Motor Speedway on the night before the 15th anniversary of the 9-11 terror attacks. Event planners decided to make this the most pro-America game weve ever seen. Some believe this may have been a stand against NFL players who have decided not to stand during the national anthem. Others thing it was simply designed to honor those who lost their lives in the tragic attacks a decade and a half ago. 150,000 people standing and singing the nation anthem. Not one idiot sitting or knelling. #BattleatBristol #America, one Twitter user commented. This is a stark contrast to the protests weve been seeing. It is reportedly that the entire Seattle Seahawks team may sit during the national anthem. And the NFL has threatened to fine any players that wears apparel honoring the victims of the 9-11 attacks. What do you think? Is this a refreshing demonstration of pride in our country? Do we need more games like this? 
1	BA:LTIMOREWidely hailed as his franchise's best prospect in years, catcher Matt Wieters fulfilled all expectations last Friday with his first major-league at bat, leading the Baltimore Orioles to their first World Series championship since 1983. 'It's an incredible feelingI'm happy I've lived up to everyone's expectations,' said Wieters, who has also retroactively led the Orioles to three division titles and a pennant in the last five years. 'Just to step in there in a May game against the Tigers and come back to the dugout with a World Series trophy, an MVP award, and three Gold Gloves? I haven't felt this good since I was voted to the All-Star Game as a sophomore in high school.' Wieters became the first rookie to win back-to-back world championships in his second at bat before grounding out in the fifth.

'As Arizona Cardinals, there is nothing we prepare for more than these at-first-glance-big-but-truly-unimportant-in-the-greater-scheme-of-things games,' head coach Ken Whisenhunt said in a press conference earlier this week. 'We need to get out there, play physical, and execute, though if we don't it probably won't be the worst thing in the world. I can already see one or two games after this one that are more important, and that's not even counting the playoffs, which we're pretty much guaranteed to make at this point.' Whisenhunt added that playing in the worst division in football makes it hard to estimate his team's chances against the Giants but 'certainly has its compensations.' 
3	Doctor Offers Vaccines to Starving ChildrenMissy Fluegge Instead, he plans to implement a mobile short message service (SMS) to send text messages to parents to remind them to vaccinate their children, in a nation where beans have become a luxury rather than a daily staple, and farmers must sell their eggs and vegetables to provide for their families. [1] In 2009, some of the worlds richest countries agreed to provide $20 billion in aid to Guatemala to improve food security by teaching people how to employ sustainable agriculture methods, a measure which is desperately needed to lift this struggling nation out of poverty. President Barack Obama stated that the purpose of aid must be to create the conditions where its no longer needed, to help people become self-sufficient, provide for their families and lift their standards of living. [2] The Struggles Many People Face in Guatemala This tropical Central American country is bordered by Mexico, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, the Pacific Ocean, and the Caribbean Sea. It has a population of 12.7 million people. The country is ranked among the top five biodiversity hotspots in the world. [3] Guatemalas people face high levels of serious socioeconomic ills, including income disparity, malnutrition, illiteracy, infant mortality, infrastructure concerns, and corruption. The countrys poorest citizens live in rural areas like peasants, while the wealthiest people live in luxurious, country-club style neighborhoods. Statistics from Guatemalas own government state that seventy percent of its native population lives in poverty. [4] Guatemalas thirteen million citizens face the sixth worst rate of malnutrition in the world, with malnutrition rates in some areas of the country reaching ninety percent. Despite having a prosperous lower middle class, the countrys wealth is disproportionately divided to the extreme, with almost half of the nations children living with chronic malnutrition. Forty percent of citizens here survive on less than $1 per day. [6] According to a 2007 report by the U.S. Agency for International Development, at Guatemalas current slow rate of progress, it would take 83 years to put an end to stunting among the countrys indigenous populations. The list of grave problems that affect the Guatemalan people is longer than just malnutrition and poverty. Over sixty percent of indigenous women are illiterate, despite the Latin American region boasting an very impressive overall literacy rate of 85 percent. Like education, clean water and electricity are in very short supply, if they exist at all, in many villages. Finally, while the country continues to slowly recover from a thirty-year civil war, its government still struggles with corruption, poor law enforcement, and a lack of support for the poor. Important Steps to Create Change The government of Guatemala has made efforts to address poverty-related issues, but the food supplements they offer to growth-stunted babies are merely a small bandage on a very deep wound. The director of the nations food security and nutrition agency, Juan Aguilar, identified the need for basic infrastructure improvements in villages, so the government created an initiative to do just that, but its budget is too small to effectively address such huge needs. Aguilar stated, that if he had more funding to help his fellow citizens, there is no doubt I would put it into water and sanitation. [7] With knowledge of these sad statistics, government leaders from around the world, including leaders in Guatemala itself, have identified a list of the most effective ways to improve the lives of people who live in poverty, in a nation with a healthy gross domestic product and good economy. They did not mention a system to provide text messages to parents telling them to vaccinate their children. The Man and His Misguided Mission Dr. Edwin Asturias, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics in the pediatric infectious disease department at the University of Colorado, is the leader of the text message initiative. He works for Childrens Hospital in Colorado, and he is also Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at the Colorado School of Public Health. Since 1998, he has studied vaccine research and policy in Guatemala and other parts of Latin America. His list of accomplishments is lengthy and impressive, including positions on the Guatemalan National Committee for Immunization Practices, the Poliovirus Contention Commission, and the Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety, as well as other vaccination groups. [8] Dr. Asturias has been a proponent of providing new vaccines to poverty-stricken people in the poorest parts of the world, including vaccines for tuberculosis, group b streptococcus, malaria, dengue fever, and encephalitis. [9] He has three goals for the text message plan: to improve timely immunizations, increase vaccine acceptance, and provide a tool for reporting of side effects. Here is What is Wrong With This Doctors Plan My first concern is that this doctor may have conflicts of interest which are influencing him to promote vaccines instead of promoting clean water initiatives, sustainable farming methods, or education and training for people of all ages. Interestingly, Dr. Asturias reported having conducted vaccine research studies sponsored by Sanofi Pasteur and Crucell, serving on data safety monitoring boards for Inviragen, Sanofi Pasteur, and PATH, and acting as a consultant to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. [10] Furthermore, the vaccines he has promoted are ineffective. According to Pediatric News, Frequent boosting may be necessary for several years after the three-dose series is given. In studies in African infants and children, the protective effect has been sustained for only about 18 months. Finally, I am concerned about how appropriate follow-up will be conducted on these children who will be vaccinated. Their impaired immune systems put them at increased risk for suffering adverse reactions following vaccination. If Dr. Asturias plan to send text messages to parents to boost vaccination rates is implemented, what will happen to the children who might suffer an adverse reaction at traveling vaccination clinics? While approximately 54 percent of the population has access to health care services, most of the countrys doctors are centered in Guatemala City. Who would help distant children recover from the devastating effects of a vaccine injury? Earlier this year, we reported extensively about this exact scenario, when dozens of children were paralyzed after receiving the MenAfriVac five-in-one vaccine in a rural African village, after a team of vaccinators brought the vaccine to the remote village. One week passed before a doctor reached the area, and the latest reports showed that the children are still suffering from epilepsy and paralysis. [11 ] Solutions That Would Make a Positive Difference Education, training, and financial assistance should be offered to the citizens of this impoverished nation before any text messages or vaccines are pushed on parents and their children. While diseases are certainly a problem in Guatemala, poverty is by far the biggest social and health concern, especially for babies and children. As I stated earlier, poverty affects sixty to ninety percent of children there. The CDC reported on its own website that many diseases in Guatemala cannot be prevented by vaccine, and must be prevented by sound behavioral choices, such as eating and drinking safely and reducing your exposure to germs. [12] While Guatemala does indeed have the highest rate of malaria in Central America, vaccination is not the answer to this problem. A group named LEPRA Health in Action has discovered a much better way to help the people of Guatemala successfully battle malaria. [13] Their group boasted an impressive 95 percent reduction in malaria cases. After just four years of their efforts, many communities reported zero cases of malaria! In contrast, according to Dr. Asturias, the malaria vaccine he recommends only achieved a 56 percent reduction in the incidence of malaria in babies and young children, and that success rate required three doses. So, why was the program implemented by LEPRA Health in Action so effective at reducing the incidence of malaria? What was their secret ingredient to success? It wasnt formaldehyde, aluminum, mercury, or bovine serum, which are common vaccine ingredients. LERPA Health in Action used education to achieve success. They trained government health workers and birth attendants, who in turn trained other community members, how to collect and test blood, clean mosquito breeding areas, and properly care for the environment. There are now four hundred birth attendants trained to look for signs of malaria in pregnant women and young children, the groups most vulnerable to this disease. Governments elsewhere in Latin America have been able to do much more for their poor. Brazil, for example, has even worse income inequality, but it has had tremendous success with a program called Bolsa Familia which gives money directly to the needy via ATM machines. According to one study, the level of income disparity has been reduced by 17 percent in just five years. The investment? A mere $12 a month is given to participating families, making a measurable difference in their standard of living. [13] Guatemalas neighbors, Honduras and El Salvador, have also engaged in sustainedand so far successfulgovernment efforts to reduce hunger. Conclusion The effects of chronic malnutrition on the children and the economy of Guatemala are being turned into statistics by researchers, but common sense tells us what we already know: there will be lifelong impairments to the citizens and the collective people of this country. Dr. Asturias plan may appear to be sound and noble when you read the headline in the mainstream media. However, when you consider the most pressing needs faced by the citizens of Guatemala, including lack of food, lack of clean water, and lack of education, vaccines (even if you are among the shrinking group of people who still believe in their safety and efficacy) wouldnt belong at the top of anyones list to help this nation provide for its neediest people. Many mothers in this country lack the ability to read. Fathers lack the ability to provide food for their children. Childrens basic needs for clean water and nutritious food are unmet, leaving their weakened immune systems unable to tolerate the toxic chemicals contained in vaccines. This text message initiative is not going to provide the help that poor families need. There are better ways to address income disparity and lack of basic infrastructure than using text messages to remind poverty-stricken people to get vaccinated. What would you choose, if it were up to you to help the people of Guatemala cure one of their most serious problems? Would you choose the vaccine, which requires three doses to achieve a 56 percent success rate, and likely has related side effects and serious adverse events? Or would you choose education and training, perhaps using a program that has already boasted a 95 percent reduction in the incidence of malaria in just two years?

3	Canadian Deposits As Safe As Cypriot DepositsJeff Berwick The Government proposes to implement a bail-in regime for systemically important banks.This regime will be designed to ensure that, in the unlikely event that a systemically important bank depletes its capital, the bank can be recapitalized and returned to viability through the very rapid conversion of certain bank liabilities into regulatory capital. This will reduce risks for taxpayers. The Government will consult stakeholders on how best to implement a bail-in regime in Canada. Implementation timelines will allow for a smooth transition for affected institutions, investors and other market participants. Those bank liabilities that will be allowed to be converted into regulatory capital? Those include customer accounts. Apparently bailing out banks with tax money is too 2012. Now bail ins with customer money are all the rage. The report says in the unlikely event that one of the banks becomes non-viable. How do you think not having to worry about losses will affect the bankers attitude toward risk, however? Wed say that this government-guaranteed ability to raid deposits will make the banks act more recklessly and also guarantee that the deposits will raided. The big banks in Canada will get to take on enormous risks in pursuit of greater profits for themselves without having to worry about their losses. After all, any losses will now be covered by the bank customers money that they put in their with the crazy notion that it would be safe from theft. Personally, I cannot understand how anyone in Canada, the US or anywhere in the Western World could think even for a second that their money is safe in a bank, especially these days as The End Of The Monetary System As We Know It (TEOTMSAWKI) is forcing the governments and banks to show their true colors and just outright take peoples money. They arent even bothering to hide their larceny with inflation or borrowing anymore. The banks are the first line in the government-corporate offensive against individuals. Keeping your money in the bank at this point is like giving the keys to your house to a family of kleptomaniacs with pyromaniac tendencies. Dont be surprised if all your stuff ends up getting swiped and your house is burned to ground. Also, due to recent legislative reform, Canadian securities held by those with domicile in Canada can no longer be traded in accounts held in other parts of the world. Non-Canadian banks have been sending letters to their Canadian customers to inform them that they must sell or transfer any Canadian securities held in their accounts by an April 5 deadline. Canadians cant even transact with an offshore broker who isnt registered in their specific PROVINCE. Even US slaves are a bit freer in this regard as they only have to file with the SEC. Of course, the best of all worlds is to unslave yourself entirely by getting a passport in a freer country so you can let go of your US or Canadian slave card. The barriers for doing business outside their nation-states borders will only increase for Americans and Canadians. We believe that there will be a lot more slaves from the Western World fleeing out of their currencies into Bitcoin. Europeans, particularly the Spanish, are leading the way, but Americans and Canadians will be forced to start running too. You can also be part of the vanguard who is using technology to avoid the government-banking-fiat currency system altogether by switching from fiat currency accounts to the decentralized digital currency realm with Bitcoin. If you must have a bank account, dont keep it in one of the kleptomaniac banks of the Western World. Instead get the account in a safer, less indebted country.

2	Rory Ends Silence With Heartbreaking News About Joey, They Need Our Prayers Now More Than Ever Joey and Rory took a hiatus from the media this weekend. It was for a good reason. Joey has been saying her goodbyes; she is done fighting. Rory said that Joeys pain has increased significantly and she is slowing becoming less attentive. This entire weekend has been spent with family and friends. Joey is accepting death with grace and is an inspiration to all. Joey said that she has done all she has set out to do, the biggest thing being seeing Indianas second birthday. Rory went to his blog to inform their fans about Joeys condition. The saddest and most touching thing happened this weekend. Joey said goodbye to her daughter Indiana. Rory posted, And so I set our little Indy on Joeys lap and we all cried with my wife as she told her how much her mama loved her and, you be a big girl for your papa and that mama will be watching over you. And then she pulled Indiana up and she kissed her. One last kiss. That quote made me break down. Rory has also admitted that Joey has been sleeping now for the past few days. Her body is shutting down and I am deeply saddened. They are giving Joey a few more days, maybe. Before Joey began to sleep Rory prepared a slideshow of Joey and her family. He set the video to their amazing song, In The Time That You Gave Me. The video is absolutely beautiful. Will send your prayers to the Feek family?

1	The Department of Health and Human Services issued a series of guidelines Monday designed to help parents curtail their children's boundless imaginations, which child-safety advocates say have the potential to rival motor vehicle accidents and congenital diseases as a leading cause of disability and death among youths ages 3 to 14. Jill Tyn, 4, perilously close to danger. 'Defuse the ticking time-bomb known as your child's imagination before it explodes and destroys her completely,' said child-safety expert Kenneth McMillan, who advised the HHS in composing the guidelines. 'New data shows a disturbing correlation between serious accidents and the ability of children to envision a world full of exciting possibility.' The guidelines, titled 'Boundless Imagination, Boundless Hazards: Ways To Keep Your Kids Safe From A World Of Wonder,' are posted on the HHS website, and will also be available in brochure form in pediatricians' offices across the country. According to McMillan, children can suffer broken bones, head trauma, and even fatal injuries from unsupervised exposure to childlike awe. 'If your children are allowed to unlock their imaginations, anything from a backyard swing set to a child's own bedroom can be transformed into a dangerous undersea castle or dragon's lair,' McMillan said. 'But by encouraging your kids to think linearly and literally, and constantly reminding them they can never be anything but human children with no extraordinary characteristics, you can better ensure that they will lead prolonged lives.' Although the exact number of child fatalities connected to an active imagination is unknown, experts say the danger is very real. According to a 2006 estimate, children who regularly engage in imagination are 10 times more likely to suffer injuries such as skinned knees from mythical quests, or bruises and serious falls from the peak of Bookcase Mountain. One of the HHS recommendations emphasizes increased communication between parents and children about the truths behind outlandish fantasies. 'Speak with your children about the absolute impossibility of time travel, magical powers, and animals and toys that talk when adults are not around,' reads one excerpt. 'If this fails to quell their imaginations, encourage them to stare at household objects and think clearly and objectively about their actual, physical characteristics.' The HHS also discourages aimless playtime activities that lack a rigid, repetitive structure: 'Opt instead for safe activities like untying knots, sticking and unsticking two pieces of Velcro, drawing straight lines of successively longer lengths, and quietly humming a single note for two to three hours.' But even these relatively safe activities can become imaginative, experts warn, without proper precautions. 'Do not let children know that, for example, sailors and pirates untie knots,' McMillan said. Although no cure has yet been developed for childhood imagination, preventative measures can deter children from potentially hazardous bouts of make-believe. 'Many of the suggestions are really quite simple, like breaking down cardboard boxes or sewing cushions to couches so they cannot be converted into forts or playhouses,' McMillan said. 'Blank pieces of paper, which can inspire non-reality-based drawings, should be discarded unless they are used in one of our recommended diagonal folding and unfolding activities. And all loose sticks left lying in the yard should be carefully labeled 'Not a Sword.'' Unfortunately, removing everything from a child's field of view that could stimulate his active young mind is extremely time-consuming, and infeasible as a long-term solution, McMillan acknowledges. 'To truly protect your children, you must go to great lengths to completely eliminate their curiosity, crush their spirit of amazement, and eradicate their childlike glee. Watch for the danger signs: faraway expressions, giggle fits, and a general air of carefree contentment.' Added McMillan: 'Remember, if you see a single sparkle of excitement in their eyes, you haven't done enough.'

1	Former NBA superstar and Hall of Fame center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar confirmed Monday he had finished writing a horror screenplay about a terrifying giant hook that comes from the sky and kills millions of people. 'So at the start, life is normal, but then this massive razor-sharp hook suddenly appears in the sky and starts murdering people, and everyone's in awe of it, but no one can do anything because it's unstoppable,' said Abdul-Jabbar, the NBA's all-time scoring leader, who told reporters he has spent the past six years working on the script. 'People try to put up their arms to block it, but the huge hook arches way high up in the sky and then comes back down and decapitates all of them.' According to Abdul-Jabbar, the huge scary hook escaped from a mental institution in the sky. 
1	Got to the Con and I decided I should bury the hatchet and end my feud with CNN and go and check out their Fancy Grill. I can't hold a grudge forever and besides I could use a bite. Now get this: when I tried to enter I was told the Grill was for CNN employees ONLY. So much for the time-honored brotherhood of the Press! Chet Huntley must be rolling in his grave. Just look at this photo I've never seen ANY of these people on CNN. There must be a secret code to get in. I'm going to do a little legwork and see what I can dig up about this. I bet that CNN ice cream is delicious. LATE UPDATE: August 26, 2008 6:27PM I THINK I'VE SPOTTED PAULA ZAHN ON THE CNN FANCY GRILL PATIO! I could only see her from behind: I yelled 'Paula!' a number of times but she didn't turn around. Maybe some friendly readers out there with keener eyes than mine can tell me if they think that's her or not. Her hair looks longer, but a lot of time has passed since Ted Turner and his thugs canned poor Paula and so perhaps she is growing it out. I think it works for her--she always had good grooming sense. Let's hope negotiations are under way to bring back 'Paula Zahn Now.' No word yet on the secret Grill password. I hope they don't run out of ice cream. See Kelly's Editorial Cartoons Here 
2	Photos Now Exposed To The Public Are HUMILIATING Michelle Obama... We have all heard stories of the failure of Michelle Obamas signature Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act and its negative impacts on public schools. But if failure is the story, #ThanksMichelleObama is the hashtag. Students around the country are speaking out against Michelles program by posting photographs of the lunches they are currently receiving from their schools. And the movement of children posting mystery lunches that make us queasy to even think about is continue to grow. I first thought it had to be a mistake or the kids were messing around. And then when he told me thats all we got, its just a little shocking, claims one parent of a high school student in Texas. Unfortunately, the federal government has little hope of taking action, and the 33-page guide that the U.S. Department of Agriculture published to help guide schools on nutrition is steadily being ignored. Numerous schools have made the decision to move away from the program together. What do you think of #ThanksMichelleObama? 
3	Israeli Commanders on TrialStephen Lendman Accountability so far is wishful thinking. Hope springs eternal. In May 2012, Turkey issued arrest warrants. Four former senior IDF officers were named. They include Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi, military intelligence head Amos Yadlin, naval commander Eliezer Marom, and air force intelligence head Avishai Levi. Theyre accused of ordering the May 31, 2010 Mavi Marmara massacre. Israeli commandos attacked the vessel preemptively. They did so in international waters. Nine Turkish nationals were assassinated. Dozens more were injured. Everyone on board was terrorized. Israel planned it that way. High crimes were committed. A 144-page indictment said so. They were premeditated. They were against unarmed, nonviolent activists. They were delivering vital humanitarian aid to besieged Gazans. Turkish/Israeli relations became strained. Ankara demanded an apology and compensation for families of victims. Israel never says its sorry. It refused and stonewalled. Rogue states operate that way. Turkeys trial is largely symbolic. Proceedings began last November. Istanbul Prosecutor Mehmet Akif Ekinci seeks 10 consecutive life sentences. Its for nine deaths plus another victim in coma. Charges include voluntary manslaughter, attempted voluntary manslaughter, intentional injury, incitement to assault with a deadly weapon, robbery, abduction or confiscation of maritime vessels, property damage, false arrest, and mistreatment of prisoners. Hundreds of complainants were invited to testify. Conclusions from an internal Turkish investigation accused Israel of banditry, piracy, and state-sponsored terrorism. Israel is guilty as charged. Clear evidence proves it. More on that below. On February 21, the Jerusalem Post headlined Turkey resumes Gaza flotilla trial for four ex-IDF heads,saying: Israel dismisses proceedings as politically motivated. An unnamed legal official called it a show trial. Last years proceedings focused on murder charges. Current ones address mistreatment, sexual harassment, property theft, and violations of press freedom. Citizens of 37 countries are involved. Hundreds demand justice. On February 26, Mondoweiss contributor James Marc Leas headlined Years of impunity for Israeli leaders may draw to a close in Turkish flotilla trial. Uneditied raw video is damning. Its authentic. It points fingers the right way. Videographer Iara Lee took it. It provides over an hour of minute-by-minute documented evidence. It shows Israeli soldiers firing weapons at the ship at least 5 minutes and 30 seconds before other Israeli soldiers are seen rappelling down to the ship from a helicopter. In other words, it was premeditated. Its well before anyone on board had time to react. Israeli officials lied. They claimed boarding commandos acted in self-defense. They initiated attacks guns blazing. They singled out targeted victims. They murdered them in cold blood. They did so at point blank range. Footage showed in court was formally released at a UN June 10, 2010 press conference. Gunfire began at 36:08 on the film. (I)t appears to be coming from an Israeli Zodiac boat. (It was) alongside the Mavi Marmara. The first explosive device is at 36:13. Over the next few minutes, gunfire and explosions are heard. At 36:39, closeups show Israeli soldiers on the Zodiac firing at unarmed civilians. Video shows flashes from guns and an Israeli soldier with a rifle aimed up at the ship. From 36:08 37:17, lots of firing and explosions are heard. At 37:40, the first helicopter sound is heard. At 38:24, red dripping on the walls is seen, and someone keeps saying blood. At 39:12, (s)omeone else says I think they are using paintball looking stuff. It is not live ammunition. From 39:40 40:15, audible helicopter sound gets louder. At 40:28, its visible. At 41:58, six or seven commandos are seen rappelling down along two different ropes. At 42:29, the helicopter lifts away. At 42:40, passenger noise level rises. At 42:49, 43:18, and 43: 35, gunfire is heard. At 43:29, wounded are seen carried away. At 44:18, Kevin, an American, shows a booklet obtained from one of the Israeli soldiers. It shows pictures of activists on board Israel wanted to kill. They knew in advance who to target. (F)ootage shows Israeli soldiers firing weapons and shooting explosive devices beginning at least 5 minutes and 30 seconds before other Israeli soldiers came rappelling down their rope from (their) helicopter. These facts contradict Israels self-defense claim. It doesnt wash. Clear evidence proves otherwise. So do numerous victim testimonies. Israeli released footage was fake. It was staged. It doesnt wash. It was filmed in advance on a Mavi Marmara replica. It showed passengers attacking soldiers. Clear evidence shows Israeli commandos committed cold-blooded murder. If Turkish authorities are serious, theyll find IDF commanders guilty of high crimes. Doing so will set a precedent. Its high time that happened.

1	Sequestered in his parents' basement for the past 18 months, mad sabermetrician Gary Neeman emerged Wednesday after achieving the perfect combination of objective knowledge and functional predictors of future performance, successfully assembling the ideal baseball player's 2006 season statistics. 'The VORP of Ty Cobb, the win shares of Barry Bonds, the equivalent average of Ted WilliamsI have created the mathematical representation of the ultimate run-producing machine!' said Neeman, holding the sacred Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract above his head and invoking the isolated power of Babe Ruth. 'I will soon share this creation with the entire baseball world, as long as I can find an overhead projector in time for the annual SABR Convention in Seattle this June!' Neeman's earlier attempts to produce the perfect player's statistics failed, as each of his first eight results was identical to Albert Pujols' 2005 batting line. 
1	Intrepid selfnews journalists saw their hard work pay off this week after an investigative report months in the making exposed fraudulent Milwaukee eBay seller Jake Noonan for unloading shoddy imitation Pulitzer Prize medals on unsuspecting, well-intentioned customers of the popular online auction site. 'Bringing down this prolific charlatan, who has been duping good Americans out of their hard-earned moneyit feels good,' said a source from The selfnews editorial board, which assigned reporters to set up eBay accounts and purchase more than $1,500 worth of the 'bullshit' awards Noonan had advertised with photos of real Pulitzer medals pulled from the Internet. 'After anxiously receiving the merchandise, we knew we had to inform the police and the Pulitzer Board and expose this creep. I mean, have you seen these pieces of crap? They wouldn't fool anybody.' The source added that he felt a certain degree of pride in protecting consumers who were hoping maybe to put the medals up in their offices or in glass cases they had purchased specially for the fake awards.

1	Mobilizing from various corners of the seating area to form a unified front, an unlikely team of allies at Logan International Airport rallied together at gate B32 to take on the American Airlines boarding agent, sources reported Friday. If were allowed two carry-ons I dont get why were being told to check one of our bags under the plane, said irate 39-year-old mother of two Maddie Cerano, the leader of the newly formed alliance of Boarding Group 3 members, flanked by a diverse array of compatriots that included a Northeastern University sophomore, a businessman en route to a professional conference, and an older couple. The whole reason we brought carry-ons is so we dont have to go through baggage claim. This is ridiculous. At press time, a self-interested member of the alliance had reportedly betrayed his comrades by agreeing to take a gate check tag, affixing it to his suitcase, and then quietly ripping it off halfway down the jet bridge before boarding the plane.

When Ann Coulter appeared on the show to promote her new book, she was able to handle the two hosts perfectly. Coulters new book addresses race-baiting in the United States, and sparked a heated debate with host Whoopi Goldberg. Of course, Goldberg went straight to calling Coulter racist. Even as Goldberg begins to curse at her, Coulter keeps a level head. Watch the video below and tell us what you think of Coulters classy behavior. 
3	Artificial Intelligence and Biotech: Striking a Technological Balance of PowerBy Tony Cartalucci Tens of thousands of lives were extinguished in the blink of an eye and Japan, already a defeated nation, submitted absolutely to US hegemony which would prevail both over Japan and most of Asia for nearly a century onward. Images: The atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This is what uncontested military superiority or an imbalance of technological and military power looks like. What will similar disparity in artificial intelligence or biotechnology lead to? Since the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the US has used its immense economic disparity over the last seven decades to build a conventional army and employ various methods of overtly and covertly attacking, undermining, and even overthrowing the political and socioeconomic orders of targeted nations worldwide in its bid to take, hold, and expand global hegemony. It has used its domination of the media to sell wars, manipulate public perception, and project its socioeconomic, cultural, and military will to the far reaches of the planet. With the advent of the Internet and social media, its domination over both allowed it to plunge the entire Middle East and North Africa (MENA) into chaos and eventually war in 2011 during the so-called Arab Spring, a fact the New York Times in an article titled, U.S. Groups Helped Nurture Arab Uprisings, would later admit. With each form of tactical and technological disparity manifesting itself in military aggression, subjugation, exploitation, and immeasurable injustice, attempts to diminish that disparity have helped strike a balance of power. Image: Russian mobile nuclear missiles and the reason why the United States never used nuclear weapons again. The development of nuclear weapons by the Soviets, then later China, India, and Pakistan as well as several European powers, helped strike a balance of power within which no nation dared strike another with such weapons again. Asymmetrical warfare and increasingly sophisticated and prolific anti-tank and anti-air weaponry have allowed nations to raise the cost of US military adventures abroad to the point where direct military intervention has become all but impossible for the US (and other nations as well). The alternative media has brought to an end what was almost total domination by the Western media over global public perception and it has done so not only with the emergence of effective state-run media beyond the West, but also through the efforts of thousands of individuals and independent networks worldwide. In other words, novelty provides those who pioneer and monopolize any given tactic or technology with an initial and significant advantage, but the democratization (widespread distribution) of these tactics and technologies minimizes this disparity and creates a balance of power that makes it difficult for any one party to take advantage of or dominate another. Perhaps the most frightening impending disparities humanity now faces are those in the fields of biotechnology and artificial intelligence. Image: South Africas Rodeplaat Research Laboratories, where genocidal scientists under Project Coast sought to weaponize vaccines to sterilize, even eradicate the nations black population. The sequencing of the human genome has given rise to the practice of gene therapy the ability to overwrite parts of an individuals genetic code. In other words, genetic code can now be introduced into living patients that show cells in the body how to find and eradicate cancer, how to rebuild heart muscles, or how to properly produce insulin in the case of patients suffering from diabetes. But if code can be introduced so precisely to do great good, it can also be introduced to do great harm. Vaccines laced with vectors delivering the genetic equivalent of malware could potentially, and very subtly, reduce fertility, diminish intelligence, and even manipulate gene expression associated with human behavior. The prospect of using the concepts behind gene therapy for biological weapons was mentioned in the Neo-Conservative Project for the New American Centurys (PNAC) 2000 report titled, Rebuilding Americas Defenses (.pdf). The chilling report stated (emphasis added): The proliferation of ballistic and cruise missiles and long-range unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) will make it much easier to project military power around the globe. Munitions themselves will become increasingly accurate, while new methods of attack electronic, non-lethal, biological will be more widely available. (p.71 of .pdf) It also stated: 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 finally: 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) By democratizing this technology, we ensure that the tools used to create and defend against biological warfare that can target specific geneotypes are in the hands of not only people who seek to do so already, but also in vastly more hands that seek to detect, prevent, or counter such abuses. Democratizing this technology also ensures that the people who need it most get it, rather than remain subjected to the whims and interests of a handful of corporations who seek profits over people and purpose. Work toward democratizing biotechnology is being undertaken by both institutions and individuals alike, around the world through opensource biotech tools, and community DIYbio labs. Nations are also working to build up their biotech infrastructure, both as a component to their healthcare systems and economy, and as a component of national security. Artificial intelligence, long before we must worry about sentient machines and what they may or may not decide to do with a vastly inferior humanity, is already being used in highly specialized applications ranging from automatically extracting intelligence from the millions of photos uploaded to Facebook daily, to gaming the stock market, to managing the UKs National Health Service (NHS), to automatically managing utility grids. While many uses of AI are benign, the fact that so few institutions are engaged in high-level AI research and applications invites immense disparity and abuse. While AI applications today do not constitute a sentient being superior to humans in every conceivable way, they do constitute very focused algorithms that are vastly superior to any human performing the same specific task. Googles DeepMind subsidiary, and their AI AlphaGo was able to learn and then outplay the worlds best Go player. Other developers are creating AI platforms that can learn through trial and error how to play various video games before eventually mastering them with super-human reflexes and strategies. Applied to games, they are quaint. Applied to warfare and they are terrifying. The high-speed, ultra-deadly nature of the first Gulf War in which the technological disparity between the US and Iraqi forces left the fourth largest military on Earth in ruination and retreat will be tame in comparison if and when machine learning is applied to real-world military operations. The increasing use of drones and automation, and the eventual combination of the two, will create a network an AI simply needs to plug into and direct, either entirely or temporarily, to grant its operators a super-human advantage over their unprepared opponents. And such contests need not be waged on conventional battlefields. Cyber and information warfare may also present a tempting battlefield upon which to deploy AI. Targeting the IT infrastructure of an opposing nation, or mass manipulating public perception with increasingly convincing AI bots working ceaselessly to create the illusion of persuasive consensus, could overwhelm unprepared opponents. Just like DeepMinds AlphaGo left its human opponent utterly, hopelessly defeated, so, too, would any military wielding a militarized AI algorithm. However, the ability to multiply force through the use of artificial intelligence is only an advantage if those it is being used against lack similar capabilities. Artificial intelligence is not just a component of Facebook or Googles business strategy US policymakers admit that AI, as well as companies like Facebook and Google themselves, constitute an integral part of creating, maintaining, and projecting American power globally. Nations must not look upon AI as a novelty or an economic asset, but also as a central component to national security. Nations depending on Facebook and Google to prop up their IT infrastructure rather than brewing their own national alternatives are akin to nations during the age of empires inviting British gunboats into their harbors. Artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and other forms of emerging technology must be viewed by each nation, state, community, and individual not as a mere novelty or potential industry, but also as a potential means to grant those who develop and monopolize it economic, political, and even military superiority history has taught us they most certainly will abuse. Just like the citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki could never have fathomed the destructive power of the atomic weapons used against them, let alone anticipate they personally would fall victims to such weapons, we too allow ourselves to tempt fate by waiting for the first biological or AI strike before establishing a deterrence through a balance of power. We are increasingly connected and empowered by the Internet and other forms of technology already being democratized. We know about emerging technology and we can easily find ways to either raise awareness regarding these issues or directly involve ourselves in the actual process of democratizing this technology. We can and we must, lest we languish under the mushroom clouds and in all-consuming fire ignorance, unpreparedness, and technological disparity invites.

1	ELLENDALE, NDDickey County Fair livestock judge Bernard Hodelnutt called a heifer named Bessany 'the sort of near-divine creation that inspired Zeus Himself to appear in the form of an amorous bull.' 'In all my years of cattle judging, I have never beheld such bovine perfection,' said Hodelnutt, 52, who first encountered the 2-year-old Brown Swiss at the fairground's stock pavilion Sunday. 'My fellow judges and I agree that we are unworthy of assaying such transcendent cowflesh. Our paltry ribbons and trinkets make meager tribute to this demigoddess, who should assume her place beside mighty Taurus in the heavens.' After viewing the animal, Hodelnutt and the other judges cast their rating books and badges into a vat of boiling funnel cakes and cut out their own eyes lest they be fouled by the sight of less graceful beasts. 
1	Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson, Jr. urged leaders of all African nations receiving U.S. aid to 'hold off' on cashing their humanitarian aid checks until after April 17, when the U.S. government is expecting 'a whole bunch of money to come in' from 2006 tax returns. 'I know the checks we sent are dated for the 11th, and I'm pretty sure they'll clear anyway, but to be on the safe side, please wait until the 19th or 20th,' said Paulson on Tuesday, adding that the U.S. is experiencing an 'extremely minor' cash flow problem at present. 'The Rand Corporation told us they would hold our check for $7.8 billion until the end of the month, so unless they're being dicks about that, all this probably isn't even a big deal. But you never know.' Paulson added that the Treasury Department 'was as caught off guard as anyone' by the fact that tax day is not on April 15 this year. 
2	This Obnoxious Welfare Woman Brags About Stealing Your Money And Why Shell Never Work Katerina Sisarova, a mother of 11 children and grandmother to the same, has been receiving public criticism after she publicly disclosed how wonderful her life has been since they started to receive welfare. Katerina told reporters that when she first moved to the UK from Solvakia, she found life very difficult, but now that she gets welfare, life is just peachy. We have a good life here, Sisarova told reporters, We have everything that we want here. We didnt have flats like this in Slovakia. We didnt have electricity or radiators. We didnt have anything England give me house, give me doctor, school, benefit. England good. Thank you so much England. Thank you very much. Sisarova and her very large family currently receive about 24,000 pounds annually. Now, the job centre has threatened to cut off her benefits because she has been so happy, shes stopped looking for work. Its not fair to suspend money like this, Sisarova told reporters, Is it right to do that? No! Every time I go to sign on, they come up with somethingall the time. I am so cross! What do you think? Are people like Sisarova abusing the system?

1	As a local FedEx Kinko's became the nerve center of a desperate search for missing 9-year-old Haley Bonhomme, branch manager Thomas Pyle expressed a 'deep personal investment' in the tragedy. The 35-year-old copy-store veteran remains eager to facilitate the girl's frantic parents' bulk-orders of hundreds of flyers, posters, and notices, he said. Pyle says 'whether or not there's a funeral service, the family can count on great service' from his staff. 'Along with everyone else, I hope and pray that little Haley eventually turns up safe and sound,' Pyle said. 'I also want to assure the Bonhomme family that everyone on our friendly, helpful staff will be more than happy to advise them on any additional paper stock, color, and, as time drags on, bulk-purchasing and large-format presentation options. Whatever we can do to help.' Following Haley's disappearance during a family outing at Byrd Park Tuesday, her parents, Robert and Susan Bonhomme, have printed more than 500 flyers, about 220 of which have been distributed. 'Since Haley went missing, the outpouring of concern from family members and the community at large has deeply affected all of us here at FedEx Kinko's,' Pyle said, adding that the store's copiers have been 'humming like never before' as the search reaches the 72-hour mark. 'It seems like Bob, Sue, or one of their friends comes in here every few hours like clockwork, cranking out a hundred more crisp, clear, high-quality copies.' Pyle himself has pitched in to aid the search effort by recommending a higher-grade paper stock that could be stapled to telephone poles and better withstand the elements. 'They were going to choose cheap, lightweight paper that would just turn to pulp if there was a sudden rain shower,' Pyle said. 'I recommended the saffron color, too, so they'd stand out. It means an extra four cents per copy, but money should be the farthest thing from people's minds when a little girl is missing.' Pyle also suggested that the Bonhommes allow the staff to make copies, saying that, while it's a few dollars more, the family 'should really be out there searching.' While Pyle called the family's original hand-printed flyer 'simple and poignant,' he steered them toward a more professional desktop-publishing approach, introducing a wide array of font and graphic choices. 'This crisis has become the town's, as well as FedEx Kinko's, number-one priority,' Pyle said. 'That's why the Bonhommes need something that pops and grabs the attention of passersby: bolder, sans-serif fonts, and bigger size. Plus, we usually only laminate business cards, but a little-known fact is that we can laminate anything up to 18 by 24 inches.' Pyle also informed the distraught parents that the store's computer stations could be used for checking e-mail and the Internet for possible leads and tips about their daughter at very competitive rates. 'With our full WiFi capability, FedEx Kinko's is ideal for lost-child-reporting technology access,' Pyle said. 'And, God forbid it comes to this, our overnight shipping services would at least guarantee the speedy arrival of a ransom payment.' Pyle said the crisis will not only bring FedEx Kinkos and the family closer, but could bring in new customers as well. 'Everyone involved in this search is seeing why we're the clear choice for emergencies great and small,' said Pyle. 'And with 24-hour service, FedEx Kinko's will always be there for you.' 'As much as we all want to see her found, I have to admit that this synergy is a win-win for both of us,' he added. 'Our flyers are helping them raise awareness of their daughter's disappearance, while at the same time generating word-of-mouth buzz about our excellent printing and copying options. Having said that, my heart goes out to them at this difficult time.' Pyle added that, even in a worst-case scenario, he hoped the Bonhommes would still turn to FedEx Kinko's. 'They've certainly earned a discount on a beautiful 7' x 2' color banner which can read 'Welcome Home, Haley' just as easily as 'Farewell, Sweet Angel,'' Pyle said.

3	Technocratic Fiat Implosions and the Battle Over GoldSusanne Posel, Contributor When mark-to-market practices were installed in 2009, it led to a short-term market recovery, which presented a false positive as banking institutions no longer had to provide capital to promote long-term financial stability. In the Euro-Zone, banks can now conduct business as sovereign debt becomes the only path that can be taken by countries being affected by the technocratic takeover. Under the guise of creating jobs, Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank, is buying back mortgage-backed securities. At a steady $85 billion per month, Bernanke is quickly becoming the biggest landowner in the United States. This plot is turning Federal Reserve fiat into hard assets at an alarming rate, as the technocrats implode fiat currencies across the globe. As the multinational corporations have moved domestic US manufacturing offshore, our nation has been severely deindustrialized. Because of the North American Free Trade Act combined with QE3, the central bankers can drive up food costs to astronomical levels while acquiring commodities futures on the stock market to profit from this planned implosion. The result of the actions of BRICs nations is the systematic death of the petrodollar, and the US dollar as the global reserve currency. Without money laundered from OPEC to the US Treasury, there is less financial backing for the Zionist funding for war in the Middle East. To further punish BRICs nations for circumventing the technocrats, the New York Department of Financial Services announced that the Standard Chartered Bank, housed in the UK, would have their operations suspended because of $250 billion that were transacted to Iran, as US regulators use financial terrorism against this Middle Eastern nation. In October, President Obama signed an executive order that claims governmental authority to steal money out of customer bank accounts of those judged to have assisted Iran with certain transactions that would facilitate their ability to economize on their petroleum resources. And this agenda is hidden within the EO that redirects attention to the sanctions imposed by the US and UK. Obama has empowered himself, Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, and Timothy Geithner as Secretary of the US Treasury to use authority imbued to them by the President that the US government would impose any amount of sanctions on Iran for the sake of bringing the nation to its economic knees. This includes prohibition of: With the US dollar failing, the only out by the technocrats is to further implode the fiat so that a new global currency can be introduced. The Institute of International Finance (IIF), a group of technocrats that represent 420 banking cartels and financing houses have joined the cry for a one world currency. In May, The UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) issued a report proposing that the current system of world currencies and capital rules that govern the worlds economy need to be altered in order to stabilize our economic crisis. UNCTAD wants to see the BRICs countries, known as the non-aligned nations, considered surplus nations, cut their imbalances, thereby taking the financial burden off of the UK and US as upholding the global reserve currency. A global monetary system that replaces the US dollar as the global reserve currency will accomplish this goal. The UN proposes a complete overhaul. In the report Adapting the International Monetary System to Face 21st Century Challenges, they call for: more intense debate on and reforms to the international monetary system imply that the current system is unable to respond appropriately and adequately to challenges that have appeared, or have become more acute, in recent years. This paper focuses on four such challenges: ensuring an orderly exit from global imbalances, facilitating more complementary adjustments between surplus and deficit countries without recessionary impacts, better supporting international trade by reducing currency volatility and better providing development and climate finance. After describing them, it proposes reforms to enable the international monetary system to better respond to these challenges. They recommend movement toward a global currency that will replace all current currencies. Revaluation will be accessed and the worth of money would redistribute with oversight of the IMF, WTO and ultimately the United Nations. Political realities and last years precedent suggest the potential that Congress fails to reach agreement in addressing the fiscal cliff is greater than what most investors seem to believe based on our client conversations. Knowing that there is a big push in the financial world for acquiring hard assets, George Soros has sold his stock in CitiGroup, JPMorgan Chase, and Goldman Sachs and is buying a reported $130 million worth of gold. According to the World Gold Council, the central bankers are also amassing massive amounts of gold to the tune of 157.5 metric tons in 2012. Susanne Posel is the Chief Editor of Occupy Corporatism.

3	US Jazz musicians were drafted into CIAs MKULTRAJon Rappoport During the 1940s and 50s, it was common knowledge that musicians who were busted for drug use were shipped, or volunteered to go, to Lexington, Kentucky. Lex was the first Narcotics Farm and US Health Dept. drug treatment hospital in the US. According to diverse sources, heres a partial list of the reported hundreds of jazz musicians who went to Lex: Red Rodney, Sonny Rollins, Chet Baker, Sonny Stitt, Howard McGhee, Elvin Jones, Zoot Sims, Lee Morgan, Tadd Dameron, Stan Levey, Jackie McLean. Its also reported that Ray Charles was there, and William Burroughs, Peter Lorre, and Sammy Davis, Jr. It was supposed to be a rehab center. A place for drying out. But it was something else too. Lex was used by the CIA as one of its MKULTRA centers for experimentation on inmates. The doctor in charge of this mind control program was Harris Isbell. Ironically, Isbell was, at the same time, a member of the FDAs Advisory Committee on the Abuse of Depressant and Stimulant Drugs. Isbell gave LSD and other psychedelics to inmates at Lex. MKULTRA was a CIA program whose goal was to control mindsin part through the use of drugs. Isbell worked at Lex from the 1940s through 1963. It is reported that in one experiment, Isbell gave LSD to 7 inmates for 77 consecutive days. At 4 times the normal dosage. That is a chemical hammer of incredible proportions. To induce inmates to join this drug experiment, they were offered the drug of their choice, which in many cases was heroin. So at a facility dedicated to drying out and rehabbing addicts, addicts were subjected to MKULTRA experiments and THEN a re-establishment of their former habit. Apparently as many as 800 different drugs were sent to Isbell by the CIA or CIA fronts to use on patients at Lex. Two of the fronts? The US Navy and the US National Institute of Mental Health. In another MKULTRA experiment at Lex, nine men were strapped down on tables. They were injected with psilocybin. Lights were beamed at their eyesa typical mind control component. During Isbells tenure, no one knows how many separate experiments he ran on the inmates. No one knows what other mind-control programming he attempted to insert along with the drugs. As I say, Lex was the main stop for drying out for NY jazz musicians. How many of them were taken into these MKULTRA programs? As Martin Lee explains in his book, Acid Dreams, It became an open secretthat if the [heroin] supply got tight [on the street], you could always commit yourself to Lexington, where heroin and morphine were doled out as payment if you volunteered for Isbells whacky drug experiments. (Small wonder Lexington had a return rate of 90%.) A June 15, 1999, Counterpunch article by Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair, CIAs Sidney Gottlieb: Pusher, Assassin Pimp US Official Poisoner Dies, contains these quotes on Dr. Isbell: Gottlieb also funded the experiments of Dr. Harris Isbell. Isbell ran the Center for Addiction Research in Lexington, Kentucky. Passing through Isbells center was a captive group of human guinea pigs in the form of a steady stream of black heroin addicts. More than 800 different chemical compounds were shipped from Gottlieb to Lexington for testing on Isbells patients. Perhaps the most infamous experiment came when Isbell gave LSD to seven black men for seventy-seven straight days. Isbells research notes indicates that he gave the men quadruple the normal dosages. The doctor marveled at the mens apparent tolerance to these remarkable amounts of LSD. Isbell wrote in his notes that this type of behavior is to be expected in patients of this type. In other Gottlieb-funded experiment at the Center, Isbell had nine black males strapped to tables, injected them with psylocybin, inserted rectal thermometers, had lights shown in their eyes to measure pupil dilation and had their joints whacked to test neural reactions.

1	Eliciting repeated waves of laughter and making sure to include everyone in her lively conversations, local aunt Gina Coleman, a childless and infertile woman, is really hamming it up at the kids table this Thanksgiving, sources have confirmed. I just feel like Im one of the gang with you guys! said the woman physically incapable of conceiving, as the children giggled along with their aunt whose permanently depleted ovarian reserves guarantee that her womb will remain a desolate and barren wasteland until her death. Trust me, its much more fun down here; the other table is just a bunch of fuddy-duddies. Now, whos getting this last crescent roll? Following dinner, the woman whose body lacks all of the prerequisite conditions to create life had reportedly agreed to join her nieces and nephews for a round of Wii bowling in the basement. 
1	Despite the urgings of friends and coworkers, Eileen MacKay and Doug Traschel refuse to lower their standards enough to date each other. Doug Traschel 'I just don't find Eileen very attractive,' the short, paunchy 39-year-old told friend Wayne Russo while bowling Monday. 'She's fine as a friend, but as far as anything more, she just doesn't do it for me.' MacKay, 40, who hasn't been on a date in almost two years, also reported having no romantic feelings for Traschel. 'Everyone keeps saying that Doug and I seem really well-matched and would totally hit it off. That's all well and good, and he seems like a perfectly nice guy, but I feel like I could do a little better.' Traschel, a fulfillment manager at Muskegon Piping & Tubing, met MacKay a year ago when she was hired by the company as a customer-service representative. Coworkers almost immediately began pointing out to Traschel and MacKay all the things the two had in common, including their mutual interest in Mexican cooking, popular fiction, and old movies. 'Whenever Doug would go off about some old Humphrey Bogart movie, everyone in the room would be like, 'Here he goes again.' That is, until Eileen started working here,' coworker Georgia Gullickson said. 'It turns out, she's seen all those black-and-white movies, too. It's like they were made for each other.' Eileen MacKay Many others expected romance to blossom between MacKay and Traschel, as well, based on the fact that both are Stephen King fans, nature lovers, and horribly lonely. 'Doug's always joking about how he'd better find a wife before he loses any more of his hair,' delivery driver Larry Stordahl said. 'Well, let's get going, Doug. What's wrong with Eileen?' According to Traschel, many things are wrong with her. 'I'm no Tom Cruise, but I try to put forth a neat appearance,' Traschel said. 'Eileen, on the other hand, doesn't seem to care at all about looking nice for work. And she's always talking about her dogs as if they're her children. I seriously doubt I could ever date a woman like that.' MacKay, who called Traschel's mustache 'kind of ridiculous-looking,' said she finds him too talkative. 'Doug just goes on and on, assuming that everybody's interested in what he has to say,' MacKay said. 'People call me a motor mouth, but he makes me look like one of those mutes at the circus! Also, he's way too negative for me: I'm a very positive person, and I can't stand being around people who never have anything nice to say about people.' Both MacKay and Traschel said they'd rather spend a quiet night at home cooking enchiladas and watching The African Queen than go out with someone with whom they're so obviously incompatible. 'Just yesterday, [Eileen] was in the office breakroom, going off about how The Rainmaker is John Grisham's best book, when anyone with half a brain knows it's A Time To Kill,' Traschel said. 'Can you believe that? She'd better not be getting any funny ideas about the two of us getting together.' Fortunately for Traschel, MacKay is so uninterested in dating him that she becomes offended whenever the possibility is raised. 'I admit, it'd be nice to have someone,' MacKay said. 'But I'm not about to settle just so I don't have to spend another Saturday night alone. I'm not ready to scrape the bottom of the barrel just yet.' Traschel also said he is 'not so desperate that [he'd] date just anyone.' 'Peter Grantham in promotions got divorced last year, but no one's trying to set him up with Eileen,' Traschel said. 'That's because Peter's tall and good-looking. But short little me, I make a perfect match for Eileen, right? Well, forget it.' 'Besides, I've got my eye on a certain someone named Rachel,' continued Traschel, referring to Muskegon Piping & Tubing's 26-year-old receptionist Rachel Nygard. 'I'm thinking of asking her out for a drink after work sometime.' MacKay expressed similar interest in going out with Grantham.

1	In a time-honored annual ritual, thousands of high-school seniors across the nation are cramming for final exams, trying on their graduation gowns, and preparing to break up with their longtime sweethearts. Jeff Reidel and Amy Pocoroba, one of the nation's soon-to-break-up couples. 'Amy is an amazing girl,' said Lancaster (OH) High School senior Jeff Reidel, who next week is planning to break up with Amy Pocoroba, his girlfriend of three and a half years. 'I know we swore we'd be together forever, but, like me, she's got a lot of exciting opportunities ahead of her, and it just wouldn't be fair to her to keep her tied down.' Brianna Milbank, 17, a senior at Eisenhower High School in Prescott, AZ, said she plans to break up with boyfriend Chris Keegan in mid-July. 'We've already got plans for a July 4 camping trip that I'm really excited about, so I definitely want to wait until after that,' Milbank said. 'Chris is such an incredible guy, and these last two years have been amazing. But I just don't think I can give him what he needs right now.' As the seniors take one last look around the halls where they spent the past four years, they are also pausing to take one last look at the significant others they are about to dump. 'Amanda has the most beautiful eyes,' said Trevor Hillegas of girlfriend Amanda Lum. 'I can't tell you how many times I've gazed into them, thinking they were the only ones I'd ever want to look into. But that was before I visited UCSanta Cruz. The chicks there are so hot, it's not even funny.' Hillegas said he has not closed the door on the possibility of getting back together with Lum, noting that he would still be open to the idea of the occasional hook-up with her while home during college breaks. For most high-school seniors, graduation is the time when they cast off the remnants of childhood while accepting the challenges of adulthood. So, too, must they cast off the adolescent relationships forged by convenience, geographic proximity, and limited social opportunity. A break-up note written from Omro (WI) High School senior Ronny Peltz to girlfriend Rachel Wohle. 'Jenny [Sykes] is the most beautiful girl in this school,' said Brent Decker, a senior at Lake Winola (PA) High School. 'But our school has only 220 students, and Penn State has, like, 40,000. There's no way she'd be the most beautiful on that campus.' Meanwhile, those slated to receive the dumpings remain confident that their relationships will endure. 'I love Zach so much,' said Batavia (NY) High School senior Lisa Bracken, whose boyfriend, Zach Renfro, is joining the Navy after graduation. 'He says he loves me, too, and that he'll try to get stationed near Boston where I'm going to college. I'm sure it'll all work out in the end.' Bracken added that she has not ruled out the possibility of getting pregnant with Renfro's child. As yearbooks are passed around, signed with promises of remembrance and enduring friendship, so, too, do the seniors promise never to forget what they shared with their future ex-soulmates. 'No matter what happens, Jeff and I will always be close,' said Christine Foulks, a Phoenix-area senior who plans to 'break the news' to boyfriend Jeff Vanderploeg after their June 22 prom. 'I just hope he doesn't expect me to give him his varsity jacket back. Or his Dave Matthews CDs.' Standing in stark contrast to the seniors are the nation's high-school juniors, who expressed horror over their elders' willingness to turn their backs on true love. 'There's no way that's ever going to happen to us,' said Mindy Ostrove, 16, a junior at Tallahassee Central High School. 'Matt and I are forever. Nobody else could ever understand me like he does. Nobody.' 
3	Confirmed Again: Statin Drugs Calcify The Coronary ArteriesSayer Ji, Contributor Coronary artery disease is one of the primary risk factors for heart attack and cardiac mortality, and calcification marks the end-stage of atherosclerosis, the gradual plaque-driven narrowing of the arteries, as the lumen (opening of the artery) can no longer compensate for the obstructive build-up of plaque by expanding, once the calcification process has taken place. Statins are increasingly recognized to have profound cardiotoxic properties, despite their widespread use in the prevention and treatment of heart disease. Unfortunately, cardiotoxicity is only the tip of a massive iceberg of statin-induced poisoning. There are over 300 known adverse health effects of statin drugs in the biomedical literature.

2	Donald Trump Announces Who His Vice President Will Be According to recent reports, GOP frontrunner Donald Trump has just announced who he intends to make his Vice President if he secures the Republican nomination. Trump has been one of the most controversial candidates we have seen to date, but has quickly gained the support of Americans who are relieved to see a politician who is not trying to tiptoe around issues. Analysts have argued that in order for Trump to have a true shot at the presidency, he will need a more level-headed Vice President by his side. Earlier this week, Trump revealed that if he is in the official running for president, he will likely name Texas Senator Ted Cruz as his Vice Presidential pick. Ted Cruz is now agreeing with me 100 percent, Trump recently said, according to a source called Lifezette. While his fellow candidates have been attacking Trump, Cruz has been noticeably light on Trump. It would appear that they see eye to eye on many issues. And the pair teamed up in September in an attempt to stop the Iran deal from going through. Trump also was quick to dismiss rumors that he would name Marco Rubio as his vice President. Rubio is not going to be the one, Trump concluded. Its not going to be Rubio. Rubio is very, very weak on immigrationa member of the Gang of Eight. What do you think? Would Trump and Cruz make a great pair in the White House? 
2	U.S Senate Makes Massive Move To Take Down Obama In Huge Act Of Defiance According to recent reports, the Senate unanimously passed a resolution that will allow Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak in front of a joint session of Congress. The resolution promises that the U.S. will strongly support Israels right to defend itself from threats to its very survival. The Senate warmly welcomes the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, on his visit to the United States, which provides a timely opportunity to reinforce the United States-Israel relationship, the resolution reads. While this is definitely a step in the right direction, we cant imagine that President Obama is all too pleased about it. Obama has said that he will not meet with Netanyahu during his visit, and his administration has expressed fear that the Prime Ministers speech will interfere with their plans of friendship for Iran and the Muslim nations. In fact, many Democrats are expected to boycott his speech all together. What do you think? Are you happy the Senate is standing up for the countrys best interests even when our President refuses to? 
1	After stints on Temptation Island, The Bachelor, and For Love Or Money, 23-year-old bartender/model Angela Langdon announced Monday that she refuses to date anyone who's not courting her in a front of a national TV audience. 'Unless there's the promise of a million-dollar payday, a romantic evening in the tropics, or a humiliating rejection in front of all of America, I'm not interested,' Langdon told potential suitors. 'Come with cameras, or don't come at all.' Langdon also expressed a preference for network shows over those in syndication. 
3	On Indefinite Detention: The Tyranny ContinuesRon Paul Supporters of the one amendment that passed on this matter were hoping no one would notice that it did absolutely nothing. The amendment essentially stated that those entitled to habeas corpus protections are hereby granted habeas corpus protections. Thanks for nothing! As Steve Vladeck, of American Universitys law school, wrote of this amendment: [T]he Gohmert Amendment does nothing whatsoever to address the central objections. [I]t merely provides by statute a remedy that is already available to individuals detained within the United States; and says nothing about the circumstances in which individuals might actually be subject to military detention when arrested within the territory of United States. Anyone within the United States who was subject to military detention before the FY2013 NDAA would be subject to it afterwards, as well Actually, the amendment in question makes matters worse, as it states that anyone detained on US soil has the right to file a writ of habeas corpus within 30 days of arrest. In fact, persons detained on US soil already have the right to file a habeas petition immediately upon arrest! The term person is key in our amendment, as our Founders did not make a distinction between citizens and non-citizens when determining who was entitled to Constitutional protections. As the father of the Constitution James Madison wrote, [I]t does not follow, because aliens are not parties to the Constitution, as citizens are parties to it, that whilst they actually conform to it, they have no right to its protection. We should not forget that our Article III court system is a strength not a weakness. The right to face our accuser, the protections against hearsay evidence, the right to a jury trial these are designed to protect the innocent and to determine and then punish guilt. And they have been quite successful thus far. Currently there are more than 300 individuals who have been tried and convicted of terrorism-related charges serving lengthy terms in US federal prisons. Each of the six individuals tried in US civilian courts for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center are serving hundreds of years in prison, for example. Last week was discouraging and disappointing to those of us who value our Constitution. That the US government asserts the legal authority to pick up Americans within the United States and hold them indefinitely and secretly without a trial should be incredibly disturbing to all of us. Americans should check how their representative voted. Politicians should not be allowed to get away with undermining our liberties in this manner. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	Sources deep within Hawaiian Punch's secret military compound near Oahu revealed Monday that the fruit juice superpower has developed a devastating new weapon in the fight against thirst: the Very Berry Bomb, a 500-megaton, Fruitonium-powered device capable of refreshing a city the size of Houston. The Berry Bomb, a Fruitonium-powered device capable of refreshing a city the size of Houston, is expected to shift the Thirst War balance of power toward the Hawaiians. 'If the device actually works,' said Frederick Buttle, Harvard University professor of political science, 'it could decisively shift the Thirst War balance of power in favor of the Hawaiians.' Test detonations in the Nevada desert have demonstrated the bomb's awesome power. Bright red mushroom clouds reaching heights of up to 1,500 feet have erupted on military testing grounds throughout the state, showering tropical berry excitement throughout the hot, arid region. Troops exposed to the bomb's fallout reportedly emerged from clouds of dust in a festive mood, wearing flowered shirts and leis, and in some cases having formed conga lines. 'Clearly, any area struck by this bomb would not return to normal for decades,' Buttle said. 'We are likely talking about a non-stop luau, day and night, for generations to come.' Added Buttle: 'To be shielded from the super-fruity effects of the bomb, you would need a shelter with five-foot-thick, steel walls, ideally buried some 20 feet underground, and even then residual tropicality would seep into the surrounding soil and contaminate you upon exiting.' 'The secret to the bomb's intense fruity taste is the countless varieties of berries used,' explained Heinrich Wolfe, a well-known expert on fruit-flavored beverages. 'Strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Boysenberries, loganberries, blackberries and even huckleberries.' In addition to the awesomely fruit-a-rooty taste concentrated into each bomb, the use of 10 percent fruit juice guarantees an overwhelming taste sensation for the population upon which the bomb is dropped. 'Kool-Aid, with its zero percent real fruit juice, can not even dream of competing with Hawaiian Punch now,' Wolfe said. 'Hawaiian Punch's enemies must kneel before Punchy or be quenched with one mighty blow. 'Come on and go Hawaiian' is no longer a mere suggestionit is a genuine threat.' The announcement of the new Hawaiian Punch bomb has sent Kool-Aid military leaders, with their badly outdated arsenal of Rock-a-dile Red Missiles, scrambling to develop new weapons technologies. Among the plans for the once-dominant beverage power: a $100 million Tropical Tango Missile, described by one top Pentagon official as 'MX Mango-riffic.' Despite its awesome power, one technical disadvantage to the bomb revolves around the difficulty in getting a hostile nation to say it would like a nice Hawaiian Punch, a necessity before the bomb can be dropped. 'Punchy,' Hawaiian Punch's Thirst-Quencher in Chief, has reportedly been trying to get Kool-Aid leaders to say it for weeks. Kool-Aid leaders, however, have steadfastly refused to do so, threatening to summon their dreaded anthropomorphic pitcher if pressure does not relent. Manufactured in 48-ounce cans, the bomb is also expected to be produced in a handy eight-ounce lunch-box size for use in precision refreshing of smaller areas. 
2	Jim Acosta Pays Big Time For What He Did To Trump... Its All Over This week, conservatives applauded Donald Trump for taking a stand against CNN reporter Jim Acosta by telling him his organization is fake news during a press conference. For the previous 24 hours, CNN had been reporting on a fake news story Buzzfeed published. The story alleged that Trump had made secret financial deals with Russia and had salacious encounters with prostitutes. Not surprisingly, the President-elect had finally had enough of their corruption. On Thursday, TMZ interview former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, asking him what he thought of Acostas behavior at the press conference. The reporter was an idiot, Gingrich responded. Trump pointed out he was an idiot. Most people in the country thought he was an idiot. I thought from Trumps standpoint it was fine. But Gingrich didnt stop there. Im hoping Spicer will simply ban Acosta for 60 days, like hockey where you bench somebody, he concluded. Acosta needs to be benched for a couple of weeks. Watch the clip below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Gingrich? 
1	Embattled seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong held a press conference this morning to sternly reiterate that during his career he passed every easy-to-mask, ineffective doping test he was ever given. Let me be entirely clear about this: I, like the hundreds of obviously juiced cyclists who also passed them, never failed one of those shitty tests that you can basically learn how to beat by reading Internet message boards, Armstrong said. I repeat: Those testswhich were easily defeated by such simple means as, say, injecting a chemical masking agent, re-transfusing blood, or creating a urine sample out of toilet water and a drop of yellow food coloringalways said I was clean. And anyone who says otherwise is a slanderer. Armstrong concluded the press conference by challenging his accusers, saying he would retake any of his previously defeated doping tests anytime, anywhere. 
2	Public Schools No Longer Allowed To Discipline Black or Brown Students According to recent studies, research revealed that more black and Hispanic students get suspended from school than white students. This is likely due to the fact that statistically, black and Hispanic children are more likely to come from broken homes, where they are been raised by a single parent. Children who grow up in difficult homes are more likely to act outand consequently, get suspended from school more frequently. Of course, liberals view this as an injustice, and yet another sign of racism. Now, theyre calling for something unbelievable: an increase in the suspension of white students. Funny they should be calling for this, rather than addressing the behavior that led to suspension in the first place. An investigation is currently taking place by the U.S. Department of Educations Office of Civil Rights. They are investigating the factors supporting the study. Still, a school in Minneapolis is implementing a new policy designed to close the gap between the two groups, with a goal to suspend the same number of white students as they do minority students. Additionally, they are implementing measures to review actions of minorities before suspending them. Another factor that they seem to be ignoring is that in this particular school, only 33.8 of the students are white. That alone could explain the disparity in numbers. What do you think of the new flawed policy? 
2	Harry Reids Response To Getting Fired Is Pathetic [VIDEO] After Republicans took control of the Senate, and the GOP won a greater majority of the house, Senator Harry Reid made the decision to speak out. As usual, that turned out to be a mistake for him. Reid will remain the Senate Majority Leader for a few months, until the new Senate is sworn in and Senator Mitch McConnell will take his place. Early last week, Reid congratulated McConnell on his new position. Id like to congratulate Senator McConnell, who will be the new Senate majority leader, Reid told the press. The message from voters is clear: they want us to work together. I look forward to working with Sen. McConnell to get things done for the middle class. Lets get one thing clear: the public is not voting for the parties to work together. We succumbed to the historic inevitability of a midterm of an incumbent presidents second-term election, a Senate aide told reporters, confirming that Democrats in general were misunderstanding the action of the voters. The markets at an all-time high. Unemployment is under 6 percent. The economy, despite a lot of frustrations, is humming along. I dont have any other explanation than history. What do you think of the comments from the Democratic party? Are they in denial? 
1	Shortly after engine failure forced him to take a 'Did Not Finish' at the Kobalt Tools 500 Sunday, disappointed but athletic NASCAR driver Carl Edwards climbed onto his Roush Racing No. 99 Office Depot Ford Fusion car and performed a slow, melancholy backflip off the hood. 'I don't know what happenedeverything was going smoothly until smoke started pouring out the back,' Edwards said while sullenly rotating on his horizontal axis above the Atlanta Motor Speedway at approximately 15 seconds per revolution. 'Wheeeeeeeeeee.' Edwards proceeded to congratulate race winner Kyle Busch, sign autographs for fans, and conduct a 30-minute press conference while flipping somberly through the air. 
2	What The White House Just Said About The Jailed Marine Will Make You Sick If it appears that we have been reporting the story of Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi for months, its because he have. Yet, he remains held in a Mexican jail, where he has been facing PTSD and fighting some serious health issues. While the president refuses to take action, there is hope that the Marine will soon be released. According to reports, a House subcommittee recently held a hearing addressing Tahmooressis incarceration. My colleagues at the State Department are very focused on this issue, Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters. And so, Id refer you to them for their efforts to work with the Mexican government. When asked about the direct phone call between Obama and President Nieto, Earnest claimed, I dont believe it has happenedand thats because this is an issue that is being handled through the State Department and through existing channels at the State Department. For some, however, that answer is not good enough. Shame on President Obama for not making a 30-second telephone call to the president of Mexico and getting this thing settled a long time ago, claimed California Rep. Dana Rohrabacher. What do you think? Is the State Department stepping up where the White House should be? 
1	A two-handed slam dunk by an openly homosexual man set off a chain of events this week that culminated in the legalization of gay marriage in nine states, including Mississippi and Alabama. 'When I saw that dunk, I was like, 'Whoa!'' said Alabama state Sen. Hinton Mitchem, adding that his office was flooded with calls and e-mails from constituents demanding legal recognition of same-sex marriages following the slam. 'A guy with nasty moves like that should be entitled to the same fundamental rights as the rest of us.' On Thursday, the New York State Senate passed a resolution declaring that it would take a pretty sweet roundhouse kick from a gay mixed martial arts champion before it would allow homosexuals to marry. 
3	Free Speech Just Died: A Cop Ticketed a Street Preacher Because Its Illegal to Offend SomeoneBy Melissa Dykes Younger generations are being brainwashed that the only thing more dangerous than our Second Amendment is our First. They are being socially engineered to believe that it is literally a crime for anyone to offend them. They are being taught that they can run to a police officer and tattle like a bratty five year old if someone hurts their feelings and that the offender will actually suffer legitimate criminal prosecution for such a high crime. The rest of us who havent been sucked into the progressive education system that promotes trigger warnings, make believe microaggressions, and magical safe spaces know this isnt how reality works. Theres no such whimsical fairy land where everyone holds hands and sings Kumbaya on every point and not a single person gets their feelings hurt ever. In fact, if such a world existed, not only would it be dreadfully dull but eventually feelings would cease to exist, because people would forget how to have them. But I digress THIS TIME when a sorority girl got offended and ran to a campus cop because a street preacher was spouting his religious views against promiscuous and homosexual sex, not even technically on a college campus but within earshot of it, the cop actually did it. He ticketed the man FOR OFFENDING SOMEONE. You need to watch this. The guy did not even cuss. The words he was cited for using were anus and penis, both names of body parts. And, amazingly, the officer not only told the man his job was to protect college students from being offended, but that it is illegal to offend someone because free speech doesnt matter. The cop was serious, too. He even reiterated why he was ticketing the street preacher to what appeared to be his supervisor and that cop seemed in total agreement that its okay to ticket someone for disorderly conduct for the crime of offending someone. In a follow-up video, the guy shows off his ticket which says he offended a sorority girl, as if offending a sorority girl is a real crime in America that someone can be ticketed for. The whole reason the First Amendment free speech clause exists is to protect speech that might offend someone. Theres no need to protect inoffensive speech. That should be obvious enough, but apparently it has to be explicitly stated in modern America. Yep. This is modern America, and what you just saw isnt a spoof or a joke. It really happened. After a phone call from a lawyer, the ticket was rescinded and an apology made, complete with promises the officer was going to receive training. We are talking about a police officer who has the right to ticket people and arrest them and who was out doing so for NON-EXISTENT CRIMES. Shouldnt he and all his cohorts in the video above have already had that training before he was set loose to protect college students and punish their offenders? Sadly, its not even a surprise that American police officers these days are not taught about the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Its not shocking anymore to see a cop fail so hard at the law hes supposed to be upholding. The most shocking thing in this video isnt even in the video but what happened before the camera began rolling. Whats shocking is that we have young adults walking around in AMERICA thinking that its a perfectly normal and acceptable thing to do to run and tell a cop when they have been offended. And in this case that young woman is going to continue to believe that, considering the cop vindicated her complaint by upholding a law that doesnt exist in this country on her behalf. The college students of today have been brainwashed with a politically correct agenda that has left them unable to take a joke. Watching Triumph the Insult Comic Dog at a college campus would normally be funny if it wasnt so horribly painful to see the students pained reactions to his politically incorrect sense of humor: Comedians like Jerry Seinfeld have publicly announced they avoid doing shows at colleges because theyre so politically correct, they dont even know what words mean anymore. I hear that all the time, Seinfeld said. I dont play colleges, but I hear a lot of people tell me, Dont go near colleges. Theyre so PC. Ill give you an example: My daughters 14. My wife says to her, Well, you know, in the next couple years, I think maybe youre going to want to be hanging around the city more on the weekends, so you can see boys. You know what my daughter says? She says, Thats sexist. They just want to use these words: Thats racist; Thats sexist; Thats prejudice. They dont know what theyre talking about. Hes right. They dont know what theyre talking about. Case in point: when the attacks went down in Paris, it happened during the protests about what were they about again? A poop Swastika of unknown origin near the campus and some racially-charged remarks someone said? Lets just generally say the campus-wide protests about whatever at Mizzou. Some of the college students there were Tweeting to whine about the events in Paris taking their spotlight and how what was going on at their campus was also terrorism, while reports of what everyone else would consider actual terrorism were coming out of France. Thats because there was no terrorist attack at Mizzou. Get a dictionary, please (while they still exist). Such a reaction is understandable, if grimly hilarious, Breitbarts Milo Yiannopoulos wrote. These kids been raised by indulgent parents, instructed by professors racked with middle-class white guilt who secretly hate themselves and western culture, and promoted by a sympathetic media which bends over backwards to put them in the best light and paper over their tantrums. But its all part of an agenda to silence any opposition to the system. What were seeing happen to younger generations in our society is like reading a page out of Orwells 1984: By 2050earlier, probablyall real knowledge of Oldspeak will have disappeared. The whole literature of the past will have been destroyed. Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Byrontheyll exist only in Newspeak versions, not merely changed into something different, but actually contradictory of what they used to be The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinkingnot needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness. By killing words and making them meaningless by destroying the literature and rewriting the dictionary so its doubleplusgood, whats really happening is the narrowing of the range of thought. The youth have been raised without any real critical thinking skills. They have been trained not to question anything. They have been educated to not know what words really mean. Meanwhile, words have been weaponized and demonized. More Orwell: Dont you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten. We are currently at the thought crime stage. Pronouns are the latest on the chopping block. Campus professors across the country are literally banning words like husband, wife, mom, and dad from their classrooms as a part of their communication policy because these arent inclusive enough, whatever that means. Forget that, biologically we are mammals born with either female parts or male parts which is simply a physical reality that has nothing whatsoever to do with what our brains think about what gender we identify with. But I digress again Eh, lets go with it. While were being dehumanized as we move through the technological automation of society and eventual androgynous hive mind Borg, the individual must be destroyed to get with the program. Traditional roles and values must go. Were seeing this push everywhere. Heres a magazine cover I passed in the grocery store last week: Really??? Just bringing up the fact that this is ridiculous and/or insane will, in the current climate, offend someone no doubt. (Guess its a good thing Im not talking about it out loud near University of Texas campus in Austin.) Recently a young woman on Twitter was arguing that it is wrong to use he or she when you talk about a baby or a toddler. Apparently you should call babies babyself and toddlerself instead of him or her now. Why? Because the baby isnt old enough to figure out which gender babyself wants to identify with yet bae (@lanadelcunt) October 14, 2015 I wish I made that up just now, but I didnt. Wait until hate speech and antisocial behavior laws make their way over here. Its only a matter of time. Melissa Dykes (formerly Melton) is a co-founder of TruthstreamMedia.com. She is an experienced researcher, graphic artist and investigative journalist with a passion for liberty and a dedication to truth. Her aim is to expose the New World Order for what it is a prison for the human soul from which we must break free. You cant fix this type of stupid. These cops are in a cloud of ignorance so thick that they should not have badges. This is more than stupid. Its creating a society willing to cannibalize citizens who are patriotic, conservative, support the Constitution, are against abortion, for traditional marriage and all Christians. I agree with the cop. The guy was clearly there to disrupt. I couldnt take the narrative so I skipped around a lot, but I think the guy talking to the cop and filming was the preacher. I work with a lot of cops and that cop and the other girl cop seemed very cool. Even the narrator had to use the word technically all of the time. The guy was there because thats where the campus was. And that sort of preaching turns most people off. Its not that they have been brainwashed. If you shout at people, they tend to withdraw. This type of argument helps destroy any intelligent voice of resistance to oppressive government. The guy was NOT on campus property so therefore the rent-a-cop had NO right to say anything to anyone. We need more Andy..and less Barney. They dont hire cops for their intelligence or ability to reason. They want robo-cop drones who, when told to shoot or arrest citizens will do so, accept the tin medal (with honor) and recite on cue just doin my job sir! Hilarious!! I dont know about everyone else, but I always get a great laugh from activist post!.. All the articles are normally comedy gold.. Sucks that I cant rewind life and watch some of this stuff more than once! I used to see this type of stuff on the daily, but since I left my last job because no one ever wanted to do anything to fix the problems, I dont see it as much. Well at least my generation offers much promise of future blunders of extinctive proportions.. at least if I do die, It will be from lmao.. keep up the good work, and never forget, dont do anything different, just complain until everything is broken. 
2	50 Military Intel Chiefs Expose Obama For THIS, He Is Finished According to recent reports, more than 50 intelligence analysts from the U.S. militarys Central Command have issued formal complaints regarding their reports on ISIS and Al-Qaeda being altered by senior officials. Its being called a revolt by intelligence pros who are paid to give their honest assessment of the ISIS warbut are instead seeing their reports turned into happy talk, the Daily Beast Reports. Officials at the Pentagon are now inspecting the claims. The initial complaint was filed with the Defense Department by two senior analysts at CENTCOM, who claim that the altered reports had been briefed to President Obama. What do you think? Are you ready for a new administration in the White House? 
3	Mother Arrested for Letting 7-Year-Old Play in ParkBy Joshua Krause The playground was only a few hundred feet away, and could be seen from her front porch. The local news interviewed the mother, as well the coddling, self-righteous police chief who threatened to take her daughter to the Department of Health and Human Services. Video below As Infowars noted, this is just one example of an alarming trend in America. It should be abundantly clear now, that the government wont rest until theyve successfully raised a generation of helpless kids, wholl only recognize the nanny state as their guardian. freaking ridiculous!! Some moron called 911 because a 7 year old was playing by herself in a park?! Some zombie drone empty headed sheep that has bought into the panic non sense peddled by the media, the the cops cant just ask the kid where she lives? Un freaking believable. its from infowars.for god sake. Just another dis-information outlet that hopes to propagandize your sentiments. Seven is too young to be left alone in a park. she was 15 feet from the porch? HELLO ? what planet are you on At 7 i took the mini bus to the park alone The playground was only a few hundred feet away, and could be seen from her front porch. There is no indication the mother was on the porch watching. And a playground may be a few hundred feet so she was perhaps a football field away from her house.no indication she was being watched. She could have been molested or kidnapped before mom noticed. If your parents were careless with you, that is no defense of this mother. In complete agreement with you dale. Obviously if the cops dont have something better to do than pick up kids playing in the park half a block from their homes, we need a LOT fewer cops. The police got a call. What are they suppose to do, leave the unsupervised little girl there? And it was farther than just half a block away. What we need today is more parental supervision not fewer cops. More sensationalized headlines from the alt media. The mother was not arrested for letting her little 7 year old daughter play in the park. She was arrested for letting her little 7 year old daughter play in the park ALONE (unsupervised). Why not tell the complete truth in the headlines? This is like the one where the headline said that a guy was stopped by police for driving a classic car when in fact he was stopped because the classic car was thought to be stolen. The playground was only a few hundred feet away, and could be seen from her front porch. What good is that if you are inside your house like the mother was and not even watching. And you cant really see the park good from her front porch because of the big tree. The mother did not even know her daughter was taken. Luckily it was not by a child molester. And then the mother states that the neighbors usually are watching the children. Well I guess it was just this one time that they were not watching. A 7 year old is too young to be left alone, out of sight and unsupervised for that length of time. Some people on YouTube are saying well when I was young which was about 30 or 40 years ago that was then this is today. Many people used to leave their doors unlocked too back then, but not today if they are smart. And the police chief was not coddling, self-righteous as this biased article states. She got arrested because someone snitched on her and because she was not a helicopter mom taking her child from event to event and scheduling play dates. Modern child rearing is all about constant control and total lack of freedom. Children need to be taught responsibility and get dirty and maybe even hurt once in awhile to help in growth and development, but I am afraid those days are over as we watch the America we once knew, dying before our eyes. I would guess the same people arguing a 7 yr old who is in a park several hundred feet from her home, unwatched, is perfectly same are the ones who argue that each home must have a gun because the world is so unsafe, you need a weapon to protect your family If I saw a 7 yr old alone in a park, I would begin to try to find the parents and if I could not, I would notify authorities as this is NOT safe in many neighborhoods. I dont think it is safe to leave a 7 yr old alone IN THE HOUSE for any extended time (say to run to the store). A 7 yr old is totally helpless and cannot be left alone in a park hundreds of feet from the house with no one watching. you know , this is maine, not sf deloras park? You are over reacting. Last year, Maine had 1,700 violent crimes, 24 murders, and 450 rapes, and over 900 assaults. The rape rate (which would be a primary concern with an unwatched 7 yr old in a public park) is the same as the US overall. http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/me/crime/ In 2014, Maine had 19,200 reported cases of child abuse. maine.gov The Portland Press Herald reported: (6/2014) After years of decline, the number of confirmed cases of the physical abuse of children in Maine has climbed dramatically in recent years much higher than the national averageConfirmed cases of the physical abuse of children in Maine rose by 58 percent from 2011 to 2013, a reversal of a decline, both in Maine and nationally, over the previous two decadesThe increase in Maine cases was even greater for children younger than 5. Those cases climbed from 241 reported in 2011 to 424 last year, a 78 percent increase, according to data provided by the state Department of Health and Human ServicesThe number of cases involving serious abuse also has risen, according to child safety advocates and state . So contrary to your assumption that Maine is much safer than the rest of the nation, the evidence is that physical abuse of children is higher than the national average. Thinking unwatched young children are safe, based on false assumptions is dangerous and puts them at risk. This evidence is not sensationalized headlines but confirmed cases. 7 years old left alone and unsupervised in public parks are prey for child molesters and any parent who allows this should be held accountable. 
1	Citing his desire for a slightly less hectic schedule that would allow him a little free time during his senior year, local student Matt Reynolds, 17, reportedly decided this week to quit a club that would have set his application apart from others and secured his admission to his dream college. Ive still got French club and the academic decathlon, not to mention writing for our student newspaper, but I thought it might be nice to have Tuesday and Thursday afternoons off this year, so I dropped debate, said Reynolds, whose note to the clubs faculty advisor saying that he would no longer be attending meetings had, in essence, made the admissions officers rejection decision for them. It was always a lot of extra work, including a bunch of weekend competitions, and I guess Id rather spend some time hanging out with my friends before I head off to [an undesirable second-choice] college. At press time, Reynolds had just cost himself $14,000 in future scholarship money by opting to take Advanced Biology over the AP-level course. 
1	Sen. Dikembe Mutombo (R-CO) showed that he is still one of the most dominant big men in Congress Thursday, blocking a record 16 bills in one legislative session. The 7-foot-2 senator, who broke the record previously held by Sen. Shawn Bradley (D-NJ), Rep. Arvydas Sabonis (D-OR), and current Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), batted away legislation left and right, sometimes swatting bills so hard that they were sent flying all the way back to committee. Mutombo punctuated his final block, a clean rejection of the Criminal Justice Reinvestment Act, with his signature finger wag. 'He stuffed the new jobs bill right back in Harry Reid's face,' Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) told reporters. 'And then when Reid tried to put the bill back up for consideration, Sen. Mutombo blocked it a second and then a third time. That's when I knew he had a chance at the record.' 'He just completely dominates the Senate floor,' McCain added. His biggest rejection came 20 minutes into the first half of the session when 5-foot-10 Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) had his Peace Corps Improvement and Expansion Act emphatically slapped away by a leaping Mutombo. Following the rejection, Mutombo glared at Dodd from the Senate podium and said, 'Get that weak-ass legislation out of my house,' in a yell that was reportedly heard in the top rows of the Senate Chamber. 'You don't mind giving up the blocks record to a talent like Mutombo,' said Sen. McConnell, who is still considered the Republican floor leader. 'Some say he's too centrist, and he may take that position at times, but the fact is he can get stuff struck down like nobody's business.' Mutombo, who has been called a 'force' by his Republican colleagues and is a key player in their legislative game plan, had a career-best nine blocks during the first half of Thursday's session. He easily rejected several appropriations bills, barely even getting off the Senate floor on two of them. For his 10th block of the day, he also got a piece of the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act. 'He's like a brick wall out there,' a visibly tired and sweaty Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) told reporters. 'Sen. Mutombo's arms are so long that if legislation is introduced anywhere in his vicinity, he's probably going to knock it away. There's no way we are going to get health care through with Mutombo out there.' 'You can try and alter your legislation or fake him out by attaching a rider to a bill, but in the end he's just too big,' Kerry continued. 'And fast. He's got surprisingly quick footwork.' Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo started his political career as a city councilman in Denver, quickly gaining a reputation as an elected official focused on getting that stuff out of here. Campaigning on a platform of defense, defense, defense, the popular Mutombo was elected to the State Legislature in 2002 and then to the U.S. Senate in 2006. According to Senate sources, the rookie lawmaker came out of nowhere to stuff Ted Kennedy's Vaccine Access and Supply Act 'so far down the late senator's throat' that he easily won the respect of his Republican colleagues. 'He reminds me of myself out there, just rejecting stuff left and right,' said former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN), who retired in 2007. 'Even when he gets called an obstructionist, or for goaltending, he's established psychological dominance and made his point: You don't come through his part of the floor.' Though many Democratic senators have called Mutombo's legislative style extremely partisan, one-dimensional, and completely unfair, some of his colleagues across the aisle have praised Mutombo's willingness to assist them in getting their legislation through Congress. 'The thing about Mutombo is that, for a big man, he can actually pass bills really well,' Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) said in reference to their bipartisan work on the Trade Act of 2007 and the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008. 'Because he's so tall, he sees the perimeter of the entire Senate floor and knows when a senator from the left or right might offer some weak-side help.' 'Reminds me of a young Bill Bradley,' Baucus added. Such praise from Democratic lawmakers is rare, however, with many saying that Sen. Mutombo is directly responsible for the gridlock currently facing Washington. 'Sometimes I get the impression that he'll block something just because it's introduced by a Democrat or, quite frankly, just because he's taller than the rest of us,' Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) told reporters. 'Why else would he reject a resolution supporting stability in Sudan?' Specter went on to express concern for the future of his party, saying that the only hope for getting meaningful legislation passed through Congress is to make sure Rep. Greg Ostertag (D-UT) is elected to the Senate during November's midterm election. 
1	Following Rick Santorum's announcement Tuesday that he would end his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, candidate Newt Gingrich called upon frontrunner Mitt Romney to drop out of the race so the former House speaker could concentrate on the general election. 'While I respect my challenger's right to fight through to the bitter end, the time has now come to unite behind one man so we can take back the White House in November,' said Gingrich, addressing a crowd of 35 supporters at the Raleigh County Public Library. 'My opponent should be congratulated on running a fine campaign. But I need him to swallow his pride, come back to reality, and tell all Republicans to throw their support behind Newt Gingrich as the next president of the United States.' Gingrich noted that Romney's withdrawal would bolster Gingrich's fundraising efforts as he seeks to eliminate some of the $4.5 million in debt he has amassed thus far in his victorious campaign. 
3	Black Tuesday Redux? Media Predicted Economic Collapse for March 4, 2014Melissa Melton To add to that, lets recall an article that appeared in The Washington Times back on October 29, 2012 entitled, MEANS: U.S. economy on schedule to crash March 4, 2014: Those wild and crazy Mayans put down their marker that the end of the world would occur on Dec. 21, 2012 about two months from now. There is, of course, some small chance that they might be right. On the other hand, there is a very large probability that the real end of the world will occur around March 4, 2014. The doomsday clock will ring then because the U.S. economy may fully crash around that date, which will, in turn, bring down all world economies and all hope of any recovery for the foreseeable future certainly over the course of most of our lifetimes. Interest rates will skyrocket, businesses will fail, unemployment will go to record levels, material and food shortages will be rampant, and there could be major social unrest. Any wishful thinking that America is in a recovery and that things are getting better is an illusion. The Washington Times wasnt the only one, either. Back in 2010, the Mail Online ran a story after a Cambridge professor said that, based on history, a cataclysmic event of international significance would rock the world in 2014: In the last 500 years there has been a cataclysmic Great Event of international significance at the start of each century, he claims. Occurring in the middle of the second decade of each century, they include events which sparked wars, religious conflict and brought peace. So it would appear were due for something big More recently, renowned trends forecaster of more than 25 years Gerald Celente has predicted that the worlds economies will begin to spiral into a deathspin this spring as well, although he isnt certain of a specific date. People the world over are sick and tired of their corrupt governments he notes, and here in America, we are a much poorer nation that people realize: Nearly half of the requests for emergency assistance to stave off hunger or homelessness come from people with full-time jobs, Celente notes. Nearly 90 percent of the jobs that have been created in the recovery are part time or dont pay a living wage. The fast food strikes seen in 2013 are the tip of the iceberg, he adds, with more to come as people struggle in what he terms our plantation economy. These days, he adds, many of those working poor have college educations. Kids get out of college with $60,000 to $70,000 in debt and wind up working at Whole Foods, he says. This is certainly true based on the stats published in the Huffington Posts Everyone In America Is Even More Broke Than You Think last November: -If you make more than $10,000, you earn more than 24.2% of Americans, or 37 million people. -If you make more than $15,000 (roughly the annual salary of a minimum-wage employee working 40 hours per week), you earn more than 32.2% of Americans. -If you make more than $30,000, you earn more than 53.2% of Americans. -If you make more than $50,000, you earn more than 73.4% of Americans. -If you make more than $100,000, you earn more than 92.6% of Americans. -You are officially in the top 1% of American wage earners if you earn more than $250,000. -The 894 people that earn more than $20 million make more than 99.99989% of Americans, and are compensated a cumulative $37,009,979,568 per year. *Based on the 153.6 million American wage-earners, as defined by the Social Security Administration. If making $30,000 a year puts you above more than half of the wage earning Americans in this country, and the federal poverty line is $27,010, then that means more than half of the country is right around or below poverty. And the wage gap continues to grow Meanwhile the Federal Reserve has announced its going to taper off in buying up the $85 million a month in bonds and mortgage-backed securities its been purchasing since the 2008 crisis to help stabilize the nations economywhile China, owner of over $1 trillion in U.S. debt is dumping it with impeccable timing. Global unrest is certainly being stoked all over the place, unrest which has been continually building for years now. But the media is largely controlled. Is the intention to incite panic? Recently a run on the banks in Kazakhstan was instigated easily enough simply through social media. One thing is certain: our financial system is anything but sustainable. Our economy has been artificially propped up for so long now anyway If the powers-that-shouldnt-be wanted people to run on the banks to bring a fake end to our fake money, it wouldnt take much to get them to do it.

1	Batrice Berceau, the planet's last literate person, died Monday, marking the end of an era. Berceau, widely renowned in her native France and around the world for her remarkable ability to decipher coded inscriptions of symbols printed on paper, was 98 years old. Above: France's Batrice Berceau, seen last year deciphering a complex system of ancient coded symbols contained in a bound paper volume <br>known as a 'book.' 'Batrice's death has officially ushered in the Post-Literate Age,' said Roland Habusch, head of Harvard University's Department of Sound Bites and Pictograms. 'No longer will we as a species have access to the information stored in the bound paper volumes known to Batrice and our ancestors as 'books.'' Those who knew Berceau claimed that the elderly eccentric did not own a television, could not operate an ordinary fax-modem and neither left nor received a single voice-mail message in her entire life. Berceau, authorities said, died late Monday after being struck by a car at an intersection near her Rouen home. Police attributed the accident to her inability to interpret the glowing red hand pictograph at the intersection's crosswalk, which replaced the 'written' message of 'Don't Walk' on most crosswalks in the early '80s. 'She just wasn't cut out for the modern era,' said Berceau's granddaughter, Los Angeles-area video-game design consultant Lisa Hamilton. 'But she was a wonderful woman. She always kept in touch, even though we were so far away, and she even sent us a card every week. I never had any idea what all those shapes drawn on them were supposed to mean, but the fronts of the cards always had such pretty pictures of France.' Described by friends and neighbors as a kind, quiet woman who often sat staring at indecipherable rows of symbols for hours at a time, Berceau dedicated her last few years to the preservation of so-called 'classic' works, translating them into modern, non-written formats for future generations to enjoy. MTV vice-president of project development Hal Mirsch, who worked closely with Berceau in her final days, said: 'We are saddened by the death of this venerable, longtime 'reader,' even if we're still not quite clear what that word means. We are especially grateful for her pivotal translation work on our newest animated series, Albert Camus' The Stranger. The tale of a mysterious costumed hero outsider who travels from town to town battling the Xenophons with his turntable-based DJ powers, The Stranger will rock your way this fall.' 'Without Batrice's help,' Mirsch said, 'we never would have been aware of this 'Stranger' character and its tremendous potential as a licensed property, and we never would have been able to bring Mr. Camus' vision to the small screen.' Following Berceau's death, the New York publishing industry announced the closing of its last print-based publisher, The Batrice Berceau Press, which for over 40 years specialized in books that Batrice Berceau might enjoy. Also hurt by Berceau's death is the Batrice Berceau Book-Of-The-Month Club, a division of Time-Warner. 'Sadly, we no longer have a market for all the 'books' for which we have reprint rights,' said Henry McGrew, president of the mail-order club which, prior to Berceau's husband's death in 1991, was known as the Franois And Batrice Berceau Book-Of-The-Month Club. McGrew noted that the club's sales plummeted to an all-time low of two books last year, due largely to Berceau's increasingly poor eyesight. With Berceau's passing, the world's many repositories of symbol-inscribed paper volumes, known as 'libraries,' have been temporarily closed. Authorities have already begun the arduous task of converting the libraries' printed materialsonce considered precious storehouses of human knowledge and cultureback into valuable wood pulp. The libraries are expected to complete the transition to all-audio-visual format and reopen by spring 1998. Persons wishing to express sympathies to the Berceau family are encouraged to send flowers, song-o-grams, videotapes, and CD-ROM and voice-mail messages in care of this newspaper, or e-mail them to www.B-Br-sO.com. 
2	What Obama Just Said In Support Of The Ferguson Rioters Is Causing Outrage During a recent press conference, Obama made a statement in support of protestors in Ferguson, Missouri that upset the American public. According to Obama, the black community is only exercising their Constitutional right to protest. Police have clashed with people protesting, Obama said, in possibly the most obvious statement of the century. The Department of Justice is also consulting with local authorities about ways that they can maintain public safety without restricting the right of peaceful protest and while avoiding unnecessary escalation. I made clear to the Attorney General that we should do what is necessary to help determine exactly what happened and to see that justice is done. While we are fully in support of freedom of speech, violent protests and looting can hardly be deemed Constitutional. And some Americans find it less-than-comforting that Eric Holder was designated by Obama to play the white night in this case. Both Obama and Holder are known for their skewed racial agendas. Of course, its important to remember how this started. We lost a young man, Michael Brown, in heartbreaking, tragic circumstances, Obama told the audience. He was 18-years-old. His family will never hold Michael in their arms again. When something like this happens, the local authorities, including the police, have the responsibility to be open and transparent about how they are investigating that death and how they are protecting the people in their communities. He continued on to criticize police for using excessive force against peaceful protests, and throw[ing] protestors in jail for lawfully exercising their rights. While most Americans disagree with that statement, I think weve learned that Obama has a flexible definition of the word lawful. What do you think? Is Obama biased in this situation? Should he be protecting our country instead? 
1	Former 21 Jump Street and Booker star Richard Grieco accidentally gave his star power to charity Monday, when a truck collecting for Goodwill Industries of Southern California made off with his charisma. 'I just told the driver to help himself to whatever was in the garage,' said the 36-year-old Grieco, star of 1991's If Looks Could Kill. 'I had no idea my star power was in there.' Grieco attempted to buy back his celebrity magnetism at the La Brea Avenue Goodwill store several hours later, only to be told that Jorge Reyes of East Los Angeles had purchased it for $4. 
2	Americans Claiming Sarah Palin Is Racist For Attacking Michelle Obama Once again Sarah Palin is at the heart of controversythis time for a few choice passages in her new book America by Heart. In the book, the former governor of Alaska gives some sharp criticisms of First Lady Michelle Obama. In one passage, Palin addresses the Presidents tendency to use racism as an excuse for his unpopularity claiming that Obama seems to believe that Americaat least America as it currently existsis a fundamentally unjust and unequal country. In another passage, she comments on similar comments made from the First Lady, She said during the 2008 campaign that she never felt proud of her country until her husband started winning elections. In retrospect, I guess this shouldnt surprise us, since both of them spent almost two decades in the pews of the Reverend Jeremiah Wrights church, listening to his rants against America and white people. She continues to discuss the couples apparent lack of pride in America, asking, Havent they met anybody in uniform yet? Palin then describes the own pride she feels when she sees a young man or young woman standing for our country. Palin is not all negative though. She does acknowledge that our country has been making progressno thanks to the Obamas, but because people are frustrated and hungry for change. What do you think? Is Palin being criticized for telling the blatant truth? 
2	Michelle Obamas Dark Past Reveals Itself Once Again Well it turns out that Michelle Obama might be to blame for her daughter Malias rebellious behavior. Turns out, Michelle was a bit of a problem child herself, and the apple doesnt fall far from the tree. According to recent interviews, Michelles difficult streak began when she was only a decade old. I was going through my cursing stage, the First Lady admitted in her biography. I didnt realize until my camp counselor at the end came up and said, You know, you would have been the best camper in your age group, but you curse so much. Although most would point the finger at Malia, Michelles mother Marion Robinson claims that Sasha is more like her difficult mother. This isnt the first time weve heard about Michelles tumultuous past. Before she was the first lady, Michelle once dated Patti LaBelles son. Her own freshman year roommate at Princeton had to move because she didnt want to put up with her. What do you think? Are you ready for the Obamas to be out of the White House for good?

2	Congress Just Bypassed Obama, They Will Not Let Him Get Away With This Throughout his presidency, Barack Obama has ruined our relationship with Israelessentially putting the nail in the coffin on Friday when he allowed the United Nations to condemn the West Bank settlers. Now, Congress is moving to cut off all U.S. funding to the United Nations after Obama threw out our countrys right to veto. Fox News reported that Congress is also considering expelling all Palestinian diplomats from the U.S. and distancing our country from the other nations that voted in favor of the measure. Congress is also trying to freeze funds to prevent Obama from taking any more action against Israel before he leaves the White House. The disgraceful anti-Israel resolution passed by the UNSC was apparently only the opening salvo in the Obama administrations final assault on Israel, said Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas), who has been clear in his intentions to work with the Trump administration to rebuild our damaged relationship, said in a statement. President Obama, Secretary Kerry, Ambassador Power, and their colleagues should remember that the United States Congress reconvenes on January 3rd, and under the Constitution we control the taxpayer funds they would use for their anti-Israel initiatives. Senior congressional officials working on the initiatives have said lawmakers on both sides of the spectrum are furious at Obamas decision. One senior congressional aide even declared, Enough is enough. A new administration will arrive on January 20th, but in the intervening weeks Congress has an important role mitigating the damage President Obama can do in his final hours, the source said. Why on earth would we throw good taxpayer dollars after bad in support of the UN, which has proven itself again and again utterly unable to encourage any positive progress? Just take Syria if they were doing anything over the last five years, it should have been working out a fair and equitable adjudication of the Syrian war. Instead, theyve proven themselves utterly uselessin fact theyve probably made a gut-wrenching catastrophe worse, the source concluded. Theres no reason to think this action will turn out any more favorably. 
2	What Bill Clinton Was Just Caught Doing Could Kill Hillarys Campaign In her run against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton has criticized him for his proposal of building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to help protect our country. Time and time again, she has insisted that there are more important issues to focus on. Once again this is in direct conflict with Clintons past. Apparently, the former Secretary of State does not remember that she and her husband Bill once worked together to build a border fence. Recently, former Clinton staffer Dick Morris kindly reminded Americans that former President Bill Clinton built a 325-mile fence along the border between California and Mexico in 1993 with Hillarys strong support. In 2005, then-Sen. Clinton claimed she was against illegal immigration, suggesting that the United States needed to come up with a system to keep track of what theyre doing in this country. In 2006, she voted for the Secure Fence Act of 2006. In 2008, when running against Sen. Barack Obama, she said some things that sound pretty close to what Trump is saying today. And she already admitted early this year that she had vote numerous times to spend money on a barrier. Watch the clip below: And now watch this one: It appears that Hillary Clintons hypocrisy has no end. She is perfectly content criticizing Republicans for proposing measures that she supported for more than a decade. Just because you dont say wall doesnt mean youre not talking about a wall. What do you think of these new reports? 
2	CNN Instantly Cuts To Commercial After Black Trump Fan Says THIS 1 Thing Throughout his campaign, the mainstream media has struggled to cover Donald Trump. When things dont go according to plan, they are not quite sure how to reactand the result it priceless. On Friday, the media proved just how far they will go to silence minority supporters of Trumpwho obviously dont fit in to the tale their weaving. During the segment, CNN host Don Lemon was interviewing Omarosa Manigault, a famous contestant on The Apprentice and a supporter of Donald Trump, and Kellyanne Conway, president of one of the political action committees backing Ted Cruz. Lemon was ready to grill Omaroasa about Trumps recent attack on Cruzs wife, and her support of Trump in general. Lemon quickly called the Twitter war over the top and pointed his finger at Trump. I dont think we should start there, Omarosa told the CNN host. I think that we should start with the fact that super PAC associated with Cruz started to attack Donald Trumps wife No, no,no, Lemon interrupted. Im not going to let you do that, Im not gonna let you do that. Omarosa, stop! Cut the mic! Lemon demanded. Were not doing that! I want everyone on this panel to answer the question directly. Then I will You can ask questions, but you cant answer them, Don, Omarosa pushed back. OK, well be right back, Lemon fired. Well be right back. What do you think of Lemons unprofessional reaction? 
2	Youll Never Believe How The Pentagon Is Bowing Down To Shariah Law According to recent reports from Islamist Watch, the Pentagon is set to start allowing uniform exceptions for soldiers who practice Islam and follow Sharia Law. According to one Pentagon source, the uniform regulations are intended to reduce both the instances and perception of discrimination among those whose religious expressions are less familiar to the command. Perhaps the biggest argument against the change is that it proves that the Pentagon is distracted from focusing on the real issue, and is completely ignoring an already existing threat of foreign and domestic infiltrators. What do you think? Should the Pentagon be upholding restrictions, rather than changing their rules to support Sharia Law? 
3	NIH-Funded Project Sterilizes Rats in NYC SubwayThe National Institutes of Health (NIH) is spending nearly half a million dollars in taxpayer funds to test a chemosterilant rat bait for the Metropolitan Transit Authority. As part of this pilot project, Dr. Loretta Mayer and her company Senestech received $462,836 from the NIH to test the product ContraPest on the NYC subway systems brown rat population. The bait contains 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (VCD), commonly used in tires, polyesters and plastics. According to blogger Anastasia Bodnar, VCD basically degrades ovaries, similar to how the ovaries degrade during menopause. Although mainstream media outlets like The New York Times reported on this story back in March, the NIH funding was curiously not mentioned. In the NIH project information description, check out the first aim listed for Mayers research: Aim 1 is focused on establishing the safety parameters of our technology, including exclusion of non-target species and impact on the environment. Scientists have used rats in laboratory testing since the 18th century as homologous animal models for medical and psychological testing because rats will display the same disease symptoms and causes and would be able to receive the same treatment options as humans who have the same ailments. In that light, aim one of this research is more than a bit alarming, considering that the exclusion of non-target species and impact on the environment have heavy ramifications when it comes to chemical sterilants being released in an urban setting. As blogger Bodnar asks: What if the tablets dissolve and release VCD into the water that is then used by locals for drinking and cooking? What if children or adults are not properly educated about the bait stations and then eat the bait? According to The New York Times, Mayer says the product does not pose a danger to humans; and if a pregnant woman ate the chemical sterilant bait, she would simply get fat because of the ingredients. Pregnant women are typically advised to worry about everything they put in their mouths for potentially harmful effects on their unborn babies. Seems pretty hard to believe the only negative side effect for a pregnant woman ingesting a chemical used in tires, polyesters and plastics and which basically disintegrates ovaries is gaining a few pounds. That doesnt sound super dangerous at all. At the same time, the substance sterilizes female rats and causes pregnant female rats female pups to be born sterile as well. And The New York Times quoting of Mayer quoting Einstein at the end of their article does not give much comfort to anyone on this point: In the words of Albert Einstein, Dr. Mayer said, if we knew what we were doing, they wouldnt call it research. Gee. Great. Senestech touts a similar product dubbed ChemSpay, another permanent sterilant meant to replace surgical spaying and neutering for peoples pet dogs and cats. The products page claims: The same endocrine protein and steroid hormones and follicle populations as well as follicular maturation and atresia are conserved across mammalian species. And in cats and dogs follicular maturation and elimination via atresia and apoptosis occurs by the same stages as observed in rodents. So again, the same hormones and proteins are conserved across mammalian species and the same stages of follicular maturation and elimination are observed in rodents as in cats and dogs? So these chemicals work to permanently sterilize all these mammals, but somehow when it comes to humans, theres nothing at all to worry about? In light of the vast amount of contraceptive vaccine research that has been going on all over the world for decades coinciding with the millions of dollars being thrown at the imaginary population problem by various billionaires and their philanthropic organizations, finding out the U.S. government is currently funding the open testing of permanent oral sterilants in the New York Subway is further confirmation that population control is alive and well and rats arent the only guinea pigs, so to speak.

2	Body Cam Footage Shows Cops Shooting Down Charging Man With Knife [VIDEO] According to recent reports, two New Hampshire police officers may be able to avoid prison after body camera footage leaked to the public. Not too long ago, two Haverhill police officers came under scrutiny after shooting a killing a man on Route 302. However, Attorney General Joseph Foster just issued a 14-page report that concludes that the shooting was legally justified. He cited the 43 second video as evidence. The footage reportedly shows the interaction between the officers and the deceased Etsy-Lennon, who was suffering from a self-inflicted stab wound to the chest. He then reportedly attempted to drive his SUV over the Bath Bridge near the intersection of routes 112 and 302. When Jarvis and Collins arrived at the scene, they repeatedly told Etsy-Lennon to stop advancing on them. He was reportedly armed with a knife. Collins immediately took out his electric stun gun, but resorted to his .45 caliber handgun when Etsy-Lennon continued to approach them. Each of the officers reportedly fired five rounds, striking Etsy-Lennon a total of six times. He was later pronounced dead at Cottage Hospital in Woodsville. What do you think of the incident? Do you support the officers rights to defend themselves? 
2	President Obama Bans The Use Of Guns In All Films, TV, And Video Games Shortly after making an appearance on national television to push his gun control, it appears that President Obama is leaning toward censorship as well. It seems he wont stop until hes completely destroyed the Constitution. New rumors indicate that President Obama recently issued an Executive Order to ban the use of guns in Hollywood films, television shows and video games. Although the source is not confirmed, rumors indicate that the White House has called for Hollywood to be a gun-free zone. We are on a very slippery slope when anyone denies the right of screen writers to use guns in scripts and the right of actors to keep and bear arms while on screen, the American Screen Writers Association has been quoted as saying. What do you think? Is this taking things way to far? Does Obama need to stop acting like a dictator and start protecting our freedoms?

2	Obama Is Livid After Video Of Donald Trump Calling Him Insane Goes Viral [VIDEO] Donald Trump is not afraid to speak his mind when it comes to disagreeing with President Obamas policies, and particularly when it comes to the Syrian refugee crisis. Refugees are pouring in to our great country from Syria, Trump began in a video he released on Facebook. We dont even know who they are. They could be ISIS, they could be anybody. Whats our president doing? Is he insane? The video quickly went viral, gaining more than 45,000 likes in an hour. We cant wait for the next election! one user wrote. Impeach Obama now! Of course, Trumps sentiment aligns with that of the 26 states who have put their foot down to say that they will not be accepting Syrian refugees. The acts of terror committed over the weekend are a tragic reminder to the world that evil exists and takes the form of terrorists who seek to destroy the basic freedoms we will always fight to preserve, Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley said in a statement. I will not place Alabamians at even the slightest possible risk of an attack on our people. What do you think? Do you support Trump and Bentley? Is Obama insane for wanting to follow through with his plans for refugees? 
1	Saying he had wanted to talk about the subject for years but feared it would damage his career, beloved entertainer Dick Van Dyke confessed Wednesday to being the infamous Zodiac Killer, the serial murderer who terrorized Northern California more than four decades ago. The 87-year-old actor, singer, comedian, and dancer, best known for his pioneering TV career and roles in films like Mary Poppins and Bye Bye Birdie, spoke at length with reporters about the ghoulish Bay Area execution-style murders, marveling at the fact that he was never caught. I am the Zodiac, said Van Dyke, using the pseudonym of the man who claimed to have killed 37 people and once dared authorities to find him as he continued to collect slaves for the afterlife. The murders, the taunting calls to the police, the letters, the cryptograms sent to local newspapersthat was all me. I just assumed someone would put the pieces together at some point, but I never got credit for any of it. Shaking his head, he added, All those books about the Zodiac Killer, and not one mentions the eyewitness accounts of the murderer as a gangly, loose-limbed man with a toothy grin and a spring in his step who would whistle as he approached his victims, arms akimbo. While only the first of the notorious cryptograms he coerced newspapers into publishing in 1969 was ever solved, Van Dyke confirmed that his identity would have been revealed had his later clues been deciphered, noting that one of the encrypted messages begins with the words HI I AM DICK VAN DYKE FROM TV AND FILM I AM THE ZODIAC KILLER. In addition, the four-time Emmy Award winner said he was shocked that fans never made any connection between the murders and an old running gag from The Dick Van Dyke Show, a joke in which his character would grow exasperated and shout at co-star Mary Tyler Moore that he sure could stand to blow off steam by heading down to Lovers Lane and slitting the throats of a couple teenagers right now. There was brief time when I thought Julie Andrews was on to me, Van Dyke said as he recalled the filming of Mary Poppins, which reportedly coincided with his earliest murders. One time she found me in my dressing room caked in sweat and muttering to myself about the thrill of hunting humans, and I could tell it made her uncomfortable. Ive got to hand it to her, thoughright after that she went out there and nailed Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious in one take. But thats the kind of professional Julie was, he continued. She never let stuff like that affect her performance. According to Van Dyke, he soon found himself juggling two full-time occupations. He would commute regularly between Los Angeles and the Bay Area, commit cold-blooded murder, send greeting cards to the San Francisco Chronicle signed with the Zodiac Killers trademark crossed circle, and then return home in the nick of time to appear in his next big feature film. The iconic serial killer and 2013 SAG Lifetime Achievement Award winner said there were times he slipped up, and noted that if viewers look closely at certain scenes from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, they can see the claw marks on his neck from a young woman who had fought back before he had a chance to shoot her repeatedly in the chest. Van Dyke went on to tell reporters that by the mid-1970s he had grown tired of the hectic pace and, having experienced runaway success in his lifes two greatest endeavors, decided to slow things down a bit. Even now, though, Ill occasionally take a part in a movie, and I plan to keep killing people as long as I can, he said. The truth is, Im really good at it. I killed three people yesterday. And I hope to kill more today. 
3	Disproportionate State Surveillance - A Violation of PrivacyThis is the fourth in a series of posts mapping global surveillance challenges discussed at EFFs State Surveillance and Human Rights Camp in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This article has been co-written with Elonnai Hickok Centre for Internet and Society India, and a speaker at EFFs Camp. States around the world are faced daily with the challenge of protecting their populations from potential and real threats. To detect and respond to them, many governments surveil communication networks, physical movements, and transactional records. Though surveillance by its nature compromises individual privacy, there are exceptional situations where state surveillance is justified. Yet, if state surveillance is unnecessary or overreaching, with weak legal safeguards and a failure to follow due process, it can become disproportionate to the threatinfringing on peoples privacy rights. Internationally, regulations concerning government surveillance of communications vary in approach and effectiveness, often with very weak or nonexistent legal safeguards. Some countries have strong regulations for the surveillance of communications, yet these regulations may be largely ineffective or unenforceable in practice. Other countries have no legal safeguards or legal standards differing vastly according to the type of communication data targeted. This is why, EFF organized at the end of last year a State Surveillance and Human Rights Camp in Brazil to build upon this discussion and focused on how states are facilitating unnecessary and disproportionate surveillance of communications in ways that lead to privacy violations. State-Mandated Identity Verification In 2012 the Constitutional Court in South Korea declared that countrys real-name identification system unconstitutional. The system had mandated that any online portal with more than 100,000 daily users had to verify the identity of their users.1 This meant that the individual has to provide their real name before posting comments online. The legal challenge to this system was raised by Peoples Solidarity for Participatory Democracy (PSPD)s Public Law Center and Korean Progressive NetworkJinbonet among others. The user information shared with the police most commonly has been used by the government to monitor the anti-governmental sentiments of ordinary people. All this has gone on because the government, the legislature, and civil society have not clearly understood the privacy implications of turning over identifying information of individuals. The decision by the South Korean Constitutional Court to declare the real identification system unconstitutional was a win for user privacy because it clearly showed that blanket mandates for the disclosure of identifying information, and the subsequent sharing of that data without judicial authorization, are a disproportionate measure that violates the rights of individuals.2 States Restrict Encryption and Demand Backdoors Some States are seeking to block, ban, or discourage the use of strong encryption and other privacy-enhancing tools by requiring assistance in decrypting information. In India service providers are required to ensure that bulk encryption is not deployed. Additionally, no individual or entity can employ encryption with a key longer than 40 bits. If the encryption equipments is higher than this limit, the individual or entity will need prior written permission from the Department of Telecommunications and must deposit the decryption keys with the Department.3 The limitation on encryption in India means that technically any encrypted material over 40 bits would be accessible by the State. Ironically, the Reserve Bank of Indiaissued security recommendations that banks should use strong encryption as higher as 128-bit for securing browser.4 In the United States, under the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, telecommunication carriers are required to provide decryption assistance only if they already possess the keys (and in many communications system designs, theres no reason carriers should need to possess the keys at all). In 2011, the US Government proposed a bill that would place new restrictions on domestic development or use of cryptography, privacy software, and encryption features on devices. The bill has not been adopted. Allowing only low levels of encryption and requiring service providers to assist in the decryption of communications, facilitates surveillance by enabling States easier access to data and preventing individuals from using crypto tools to protect their personal communications. States Establish Blanket Interception Facilities In Colombia, telecommunications network and service providers carrying out business within the national territory must implement and ensure that interception facilities are available at all times to state agencies as prescribed by law. This is to enable authorized state agencies to intercept communications at any point of time. In addition to providing interception facilities, service providers must also retain subscriber data for a period of five years, and provide information such as subscriber identity, invoicing address, type of connection on request, and geographic location of terminals when requested. Though Colombia has put in place regulations for the surveillance of communications, these regulations allow for broad surveillance and do not afford the individual clear rights in challenging the same. The examples above demonstrate that, although State surveillance of communications can be justified in exceptional instances, it leads to the violation of individual privacy when implemented without adequate legal safeguards. Clearly there is a need for international principles articulating critical and necessary components of due process for the surveillance of communications. Those strong legal safeguards are necessary not only in countries that dont have laws in place, but also in countries where laws are lacking and fail to adequately protect privacy. Last year, EFF organized the State Surveillance and Human Rights Camp to discuss a set of International Principles on State Surveillance of Communications, a global effort led by EFF and Privacy International, to define, articulate, and promote legal standards to protect individual privacy when the state carries out surveillance of communications.

3	On the Fringe of the Dominant Financial WorldJustin OConnell, Contributor CNN referred to Bitcoin as sketchy and in so doing used a technique of identifying anything outside the purview of official transactions as black market, gray market or otherwise shady. The press outlet whittles Bitcoins userbase down to Iranians, hit men, drug dealers and others who prefer to be paid in an untraceable currency. Flip that statement on its head, and what is it Bitcoin users prefer? A banking system in which every little thing they do is not scrutinized and reported. Bitcoin is swiftly becoming a legitimate instrument on the fringe of the dominant financial world, as people the world over turn to the system for its practicality and convenienceand, lets face it, security. Youre not going to get much of that from the Western-based financial system, and thats no lie. According to the FDIC website: From December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012, all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are fully insured, regardless of the account balance and the ownership capacity of the funds. This coverage is available to all depositors, including consumers, businesses, and government entities. The unlimited coverage is separate from, and in addition to, the insurance coverage provided for a depositors other accounts held at an FDIC-insured bank. A noninterest-bearing transaction account is a deposit account where: interest is neither accrued nor paid; depositors are permitted to make an unlimited number of transfers and withdrawals; and the bank does not reserve the right to require advance notice of an intended withdrawal. A noninterest-bearing transaction account also includes all deposits placed in an Interest on Lawyers Trust Account (IOLTA) or its equivalent. Note: Money Market Deposit Accounts (MMDAs) and Negotiable Order of Withdrawal (NOW) accounts are not eligible for this temporary unlimited insurance coverage, regardless of the interest rate, even if no interest is paid. For more information see FDIC Frequently Asked Questions on the Dodd-Frank Act at www.fdic.gov/deposit/deposits. Simultaneously, Bitcoin is threatening major profit centers for both the banks and payment operators like Visa and MasterCard. CNN does not just imply criminals and rogue nation-states will use the Bitcoin network to launder money, but that that is essentially Bitcoins only purpose. The press outlet admits that passing money and making transactions outside of normal pay channels has serious repercussions for the financial industry. CNN understands the advantages at least vaguely of Bitcoin, such as that the network is free and can be used by anyone to send/receive payment 24/7, but hopes the average ignorant and easily led viewer will fail to see the usefulness in Bitcoin so as to keep them within the dominant financial system paradigm. As the press outlet writes: But just because the Bitcoin network is free to use doesnt mean its the best way to move wealth. Indeed, it is by far the riskiest way to send money as it is only as good as its medium of exchange Bitcoins. Unlike currency backed by the full faith and credit of sovereign nations, Bitcoins are backed up by, well, nothing, leaving it open to wild swings on the international currency market. Since Bitcoins are still a virtual currency, buyers and sellers take on massive exchange rate risk moving money to and from their Bitcoin accounts. In the two years its been around, the Bitcoin has been valued as high as $30 to as low as $2. A wild swing occurred last summer when security concerns cause people to dump their Bitcoin en masse. Casual observers wrote off Bitcoin and moved on, but it has slowly and steadily regained its value, last trading at around $14 per Bitcoin. Bitcoin is now at the $18 handle. It poses a threat to Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal. While holding value for long periods of time in Bitcoin carries risks, the transaction ease makes the system a more attractive medium than any dominant financial system option. Its a way to pay for things in an extremely convenient manner. Moreover, it doesnt matter if youre paying for a fraction of a bitcoin or millions of dollars worth of them. Whats the use of any fiat currency after that? Other than, of course, national security. One thing Bitcoin does not totally replace is gold and silver stored internationally. In our short lifetimes, there is scant chance for a technology no matter how positively revolutionary to supersede objects that have been held as money for centuries across civilizations. That is my opinion. Others disagree. Like gold and silver, bitcoins can be internationalized. But, bitcoins cannot be held in the analog world like gold and silver coin can. Thats why they are not a one-size-fits-all option for the committed rebel when it comes to freeing his or her money. However, both bitcoins and internationally stored gold and silver can go a long way towards safeguarding your hard-earned labor in something other than fiat currencies. One of the best arguments in favor of internationally storing gold and silver is the diversification of risk, and the ability to hold tangible assets that only stand to appreciate in value as G20 nation-states lead the way in open currency devaluation. What better way to further diversify your internationally stored gold and silver with a digitally trade-able medium? No more waiting for bankers to initiate wire transfers. You do it yourself. Of course, with freedom comes responsibility. Not only can TDV help you acquire precious metals at some of the lowest retail prices in the nation, the team can also assist in storing your metals overseas, while at the same time setting you up with second passports.

3	Britain, France, Germany and Israel Lie for ObamaStephen Lendman Its likely shortly after Congress reconvenes on September 9. So-called token strikes conceal planned shock and awe. Tomahawk cruise missiles usually carry 1,000 lb. warheads. Hundreds may be launched over several days. Doing so will cause extensive destruction. Perhaps thousands will die. Many more will be injured. If damage assessment is insufficient, more strikes will follow. Bombs away is longstanding US policy. Americas a killing machine. Its history is bloodstained. More lawless aggression is imminent. Its based on lies. John Kerry replicated Colin Powells moment three times. He lied repeatedly. So-called evidence he claimed about Assad using chemical weapons is fabricated. None exists. Its baseless. Its fake. Its manufactured out of whole cloth. No evidence links Syria to chemical weapons use. None!! Claiming otherwise reflects Obamas rage for war. Britain, France, Germany and Israel are imperial partners. Lies are contagious. Theyre spreading their own. On September 1, the Express UK headlined Senior Syrian military chiefs tell captain: fire chemicals or be shot, saying: British intelligence chiefs have intercepted radio messages in which senior Syrian military chiefs are heard ordering the use of chemical weapons. The unnamed RAF officer lied, saying: The commander of the artillery battery told the regional commander that he would not comply and there was a heated exchange. He was told in direct language that unless the order was carried out, he would be shot. A total of 27 chemical artillery shells were then fired at the suburb in a 14-minute period. The conversation was monitored and recorded by British officers based at the remote mountain-top RAF Troodos Signals Intelligence listening post in Cyprus and within minutes details of the conversation had been relayed to GCHQ, Whitehall and the Pentagon, said the Express. On September 2,AFP headlined French intel says massive use of chemical weapons by Syria regime, saying: A French intelligence report released Monday said there was massive use of chemical agents in an August 21 attack in Syria and that only the regime could have been responsible. AFPs report followed French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault saying: Syria launched an attack on some suburbs of Damascus held by units of the opposition, combining conventional means with the massive use of chemical agents. John Kerry claimed 1,429 killed. French intelligence had counted at least 281, said AFP. Actual numbers are unknown. Theyre likely many fewer than higher estimates. So is the cause of death. Natural News editor Mike Adams headlined Bombshell: Syrias chemical weapons turn out to be sodium fluoride used in the US water supply and sold at Wal-Mart. He called the chemical weapons narrative claimed by Kerry and others an outlandish hoax. He cited the London Independents report about Britain providing Syria with two chemicals able to produce nerve gas. What are they, asked Adams? You wont believe me when I tell you. They are: sodium fluoride and potassium fluoride. The Independents headline describes nerve gas chemicals and the subhead (calls them) sodium fluoride and potassium fluoride. According to Adams, so-called toxic chemicals evidence is nothing more than hair samples of people who drank sodium fluoride. Tests done on Syrian citizens using ICP-MS (instrumentation) would not be able to distinguish between sodium fluoride and sarin exposure in terms of the detection of elemental fluorine. Sarins chemical formulation includes fluorine, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and phosphorous. Four elements occur naturally. Fluorine doesnt. Its used in sodium fluoride. ICP-MS testing can intentionally blur evidence, said Adams. Doing so can make sodium fluoride appear like sarin signatures. Thats precisely what Kerry claimed. He faked so-called evidence to fit policy. So did US allies their way. On September 3, Russia Today headlined German intelligence concludes sarin gas used on Assads orders reports, saying: Germanys BND claims enough evidence to conclude (Assad) ordered suspected chemical attack in Syria, Germanys Der Spiegel reports, quoting the results of a secret security briefing. Der Spiegel headlined Syria crisis: BND captures evidence of use of poison gas by Assad regime. The German intelligence is certain that (Assads) responsible for the poison gas attack in Syria. Even though there is no definitive proof, (there are) many clues. A wiretapped telephone call from the BND could be decisive. BND president Gerhard Schindler cited a lack of clear evidence. He lied claiming only Syrias government has the ability to produce sarin and launch it using rockets. BNDs analysis is consistent with the findings presented by the United States, said Der Spiegel. Schindler lied saying insurgents were not in a position to carry out such a concerted attack. US officials reported only in abstract, he said. He admitted Germany has no definitive proof. It wont participate in Americas attack. Its targeting Assad its own way. It claims its own fake evidence. So-called intercepted communications dont exist. Claiming otherwise is a convenient canard. Germany can claim whatever it wishes. So can Washington, Britain, France and Israel. On September 1, Haaretz headlined Report: Syrians used chemical weapons repeatedly against rebels, saying: An unnamed senior Israeli official said that, so far, small quantities of chemical weapons have been used in all cases, and in low dosages. At the same time, he said: Neither Israel nor the United States has intelligence information directly connecting Assad or his close associates to the attack on August 21. However, there is no doubt that there has been use of chemical weapons by elements in the Syrian army. Evidence consists largely of so-called intercepted communications. They dont exist. Theyre fake. No verifiable evidence corroborates them. Assad strongly denies using chemical weapons any time throughout months of conflict. Hes done it publicly. FrancesLe Figaro interviewed him. It headlined Assads warning to France. Le Figaros George Malbrunot asked him to prove a negative. Can you prove to us that your army did not use chemical weapons on 21 August in the Damascus suburb, during attacks that killed more than a thousand people, as you are accused of by Barack Obama and Francois Hollande, he asked? Assad: It is for those who are making the accusations to provide the proof. We have challenged the United States and France to put forward a single proof. Obama and Hollande have been unable to do so, even to their own people. Supposing our army wishes to use weapons of mass destruction. Is it possible that it would do so in a zone where it is located and where (our) soldiers were wounded by these arms, as United Nations inspectors have noted during visits to hospitals where they were treated? Where is the logic, he asked? Assad called the region a powder key, and today the flame is coming very near. The fuse is getting shorter. Everyone will lose when the powder keg explodes. Chaos and extremism will spread. There is a risk of regional war. Whoever contributes to the terrorists financial or military strengthening is the enemy of the Syrian people. Whoever works against the interests of Syria and its citizens is an enemy. Assad called Obama weak, saying: If (he) was strong, he would have said publicly: We have no evidence of the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian State. He would have said publicly: The only way to proceed is through UN investigations. We therefore refer everything to the Security Council. But Obama is weak because he is facing pressure from within the United States. Its too late for dialoguing with insurgents, he said. We are fighting terrorists. Eighty to 90 per cent of those we are fighting belong to Al Qaeda. They are not interested in reform or in politics. The only way to deal with them is to annihilate them. Only then will we be able to talk about political measures. On September 3, Itar Tass headlined Russian attack warning system fixes launch of two ballistic missiles in Mediterranean Sea targeting coastline, saying: According to Moscows Defense Ministry: The launch of two ballistic missiles was fixed at 10:16am Moscow time on Tuesday by a combat unit of the missile attack warning system in Armavir. The flight trajectory of these bodies went through the central part of the Mediterranean towards Eastern part of the Mediterranean coastline. Syrias Moscow embassy reported no air alerts or explosions in Damascus. Britains Defense Ministry said its aware of the fact that ballistic missiles were launched, but (it had) nothing to do with it. Israel said it launched two rockets as test targets for its missile defense systems. Washington participated in the joint exercise. Both countries initially denied involvement. The timing of whatever happened is suspect. It raises disturbing red flags. Potentially it ups the stakes. Will Israel partner with Obamas war? Its already very much involved. It remains to be seen how much more. Sergey Vershinin heads Russias MFA Department for Middle East and North Africa affairs. Hes Moscows Middle East Peace Process special envoy. The (Syrian) situation is hard and emergency, he said. A real threat of the use of force exists. Our position is decisive (and) unacceptable of this method. The use of force will yield only a reverse effect. It coming. Its virtually certain. Obama demands it. So do most Democrats. Hardline Republican hawks want much more than what Obama suggests is coming. Media scoundrels support war. On September 2, The New York Times headlined Debating the Case for Force, saying: President Obama made the right decision to seek Congressional authorization for his announced plan to order unilateral military strikes against Syria for using chemical weapons. According to Times editors, Assad has to be deterred from gassing his people again. The Security Council failed to act. It is appalling that Russia and China have not been the focus of international outrage and pressure. The Arab League toughened its position. It remains as feckless as ever. Its secretary general said there should be no military action without a green light from the United Nations. On September 1, Wall Street Journal editors headlined Leading from Behind Congress, saying: Seeking congressional authorization will go down as one of the stranger gambles, if not abdications, in Commander in Chief history. For days his aides had been saying the President has the Constitutional power to act alone in response to Syrias use of chemical weapons, and that he planned to do so. By comparison, George W. Bush on Iraq looks like Metternich. Obamas announced intervention wont end war or depose Assad. He put Americas role as a global power on the line. The worlds rogues would be further emboldened and look for more weaknesses to exploit. Iran would conclude it can march to a nuclear weapon with impunity. Israel, Japan, the Gulf states and other American friends would have to recalculate their reliance on US power and will. These are the stakes that Mr. Obama has so recklessly put before Congress. Journal editors want all-out war on Syria. They urge congressional authorization. Its not to save (Obama) from embarrassment. Its to rescue American credibility and strategic interests from this most feckless of Presidents. Times and Journal editors arent alone. Americas media largely support war. Theyre in lockstep with lawlessness. Theyre mindless of the potential consequences. World peace hangs by a thread. Attacking Syria means regional conflict. It bears repeating. It risks WW III. 
3	Scandal Hits CyprusStephen Lendman Depositors may lose much more than initially thought. Minimally its around 40% of their money. It may be double that amount or more. Potentially its everything. In return, theyll get unsecured IOUs (promises to pay). Theyll be converted to bank shares. They may end up worthless. Small depositors arent safe. If enough money isnt raised, theyre vulnerable. Once thought safe bank accounts are being looted. It gets worse. Friends of President Nicos Anastasiades got advance word. Cypriot newspaper Haravgi said A. Loutsios Sons Ltd wired 21 million euros to London. It did so on March 12 and 13. It was days before capital controls were imposed. Loutsios Sons is co-owned by the husband of Anastasiades daughter. The company denied Haravgis report. Anastasiades said it attempt(ed) to defame companies or people linked to my family. Its nothing but an attempt to distract people from the liability of those who led the country to a state of bankruptcy. On March 22, Londons Daily Mail headlined Cypriot president warned his friends to move money abroad before financial crisis hit: Leader under fire as he faces just FOUR DAYS to save country from collapse. Cypriot president Nikos Anastasiades warned close friends of the financial crisis about to engulf his country so they could move their money abroad, it was claimed on Friday. The respected Cypriot newspaper Filelftheros made the allegation which was picked up eagerly by German media. The Cyprus newspaper did not say how much money was moved abroad but quoted sources saying the president knew about the possible closure of the banks and tipped off close friends who were able to move vast sums abroad. Italian media said the 4.5 billion euros left the island in the week before the crisis. On March 25, Reuters headlined INSIGHT Money fled Cyprus as president fumbled bailout, saying: .(L)arge amounts of euros fled (Cyprus) before and after Cypriot lawmakers stunned Europe by rejecting a levy on all bank deposits. No one knows exactly how much money has left Cyprus banks, or where it has gone. Minimally it was many millions. Perhaps it was much more. Insiders got advance word. They took full advantage. Others werent as lucky. On March 31, AFP said Cypriot politicians had loans written off by the islands three biggest banks, two of them at the heart of the financial meltdown. Lawmaker Mavrides, meanwhile, confirmed that a committee appointed by President Nicos Anastasiades would investigate a list published by Greek media of Cypriot politicians who allegedly had loans forgiven. The Bank of Cyprus, Laiki and Hellenic Bank reportedly forgave millions of euros in loans over the past five years to lawmakers, companies and local company authorities, newspapers in Greece said. The allegations would likely be discussed in parliament next week, Mavrides added. Expect more whitewash and coverup than revelations. Whats reported is likely true. Politicians often get special favors. Advance word let privileged insiders shift money offshore. They did so in time. On March 31, the Financial Times headlined Scramble to find Cypriot cash escape route, saying: The hunts on. In recent weeks, at least three people tried fleeing with more than 200,000 euros in cash on their person. They were caught. Funds were confiscated. Limassol police stepped up security. At issue is stopping people trying to get funds offshore by boat. Unidentified Cypriots called Russian businessman Sergei Tyulenev. They did so the day capital controls were imposed. They offered help to shift more than one million euros from Laiki Bank to Hellenic Bank. Its relatively safer. He explained a catch. Hed have to pay 200,000 euros up front. He refused. Eurocrats raised concerns. Politically connected depositors moved cash out in time. Others got funds out after banks closed. An unidentified Eurocrat said: There are some dubious capital outflows out of Cyprus as we speak. Im sure its the friends, and the friends are not only Russians. Before crisis erupted, many foreign depositors exited. They smelled trouble. They moved funds offshore in time. The handwritings been on the wall for months. In February alone, about 18% of Cypriot deposits moved to other Eurozone countries. Central Bank of Cyprus figures confirm it. Since last June, Cypriot deposits fell 41%. Hours before capital controls were imposed, large sums exited Laiki Bank and Bank of Cyprus. On March 31, The New York Times headlined As Banks in Cyprus Falter, Other Tax Havens Step In, saying: (F)inancial centers across Europe and beyond are promoting their own skills at keeping money hidden and safe. A Malta law firm said: We are aware of the economic problems facing Cyprus at the moment. We would like to propose an avenue of action for your consideration: offering corporate relocation to Malta. Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Cayman Islands, Dubai, Singapore, and other tax havens made similar offers. Swiss-based Gonthier Group emailed Cypriot firms working with foreigners. It suggested they offer clients an investment vehicle which is extremely low-profile, not classified as a bank account or trust and thus very much under the radar of national fiscal authorities. Turkey controls northern Cyprus. Its promoting its own banks. It does so as a safer alternative. Nicholas Papadopoulos heads parliaments finance and budgetary affairs committee. We are being thrown to the wolves, and now the wolves have responded, he said. Limassol lawyer Andreas Marangos said Cypriot banking is finished. At stake is the islands main industry and tens of thousands of jobs. Expect unemployment to soar. Protracted Depression looks certain. An entire economy is being destroyed. Cypriot economics Nobel laureate Christopher Pissarides is right saying when the IMF gets involved, theres always blood on the ground. On March 31, Cyprus Mail accused President Anastasiades of failing to introduce an honest, reality-based, political discourse. He said what people wanted to hear. He sounded like his predecessor. Hes not up to the challenge. He panders to privileged Cypriots. He offers false hopes and breaks promises. He hasnt prepared Cypriots for hard times. They need to know they have a leader who is aware of the crushing difficulties we face, but he has a plan to help the country get back on its feet eventually. Hes got none. Cyprus future remains hugely challenged. For most Cypriots, its bleak. Today Cyprus. Tomorrow Euroland. FTs Wolfgang Munchau says Economics will catch up with the euro. (A)t what point (is it) economically rational for a country to leave the eurozone? Its an imperfect banking union. Public and private sector debts are unsustainable in troubled countries. Theyre better off going it alone. Insured depositors in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece arent safe. For sure, Cypriot ones arent. Its logically irrational for any Spanish saver to keep even small amounts of savings in the Spanish banking system. There is no way that the Spanish state can guarantee the system without defaulting itself. Spains best chance is exiting the Eurozone. The same goes for Greece, Italy and Portugal. Economics may not be the main driver. Politics may trump economics. Long term, you cannot operate a monetary union in the face of economic logic. One size fits all Eurozone rules dont work. Imposing them reflects financial tyranny. Surrendering monetary and fiscal control assures trouble. Cyprus virus is spreading. Ordinary people will be harmed most. Insured savings arent safe. Euroland looks most vulnerable. Take the money and run is policy. Depositor haircuts are authorized. Canada did the same thing. Its a short leap to America. Theyre coming. Expect them.

2	Shocking Video Footage Of Dead American Bodies, Obama Cracks Joke Amid Discussing Murdered Americans It is clear to all of us here at Americannews.com that Obama does not care for the tragic loss of American life that was lost. Obama discussed the murdered Americans for only a brief moment, then commenced with telling jokes. Well let Rush Limbaugh take it from here: RUSH: Heres President Obama, by the way, Wilmington, Delaware, port of Wilmington, he spoke about the downed Malaysian Airlines passenger jet in Ukraine. Listen to the profundity here of the opening line. Are you ready? Just listen. Its about 27 seconds, but just listen. I mean, this is raw intelligence. OBAMA: It looks like it may be a terrible tragedy. Right now were working to determine whether there were American citizens on board. That is our first priority, and Ive directed my national security team to stay in close contact with the Ukrainian government. The United States will offer any assistance we can to help determine what happened and why. And as a country, our thoughts and prayers are with all the families of the passengers wherever they call home. UPDATE: Sorry the video has been removed. RUSH: It looks like it may be a terrible tragedy. Maybe not. We dont know yet. Depends. I mean, well, I dont know. Average tragedy, mediocre? May not be a tragedy at all depending on why and how? (interruption) No, its not a question of Tea Party people on the plane. Did the Tea Party bring it down, thats the question. He goes out there and says, It looks like it may be a terrible tragedy, and then he goes perfunctory for the rest of the 25 seconds and then he started telling jokes and going lighthearted and yuk-yuk about why he was in Wilmington, Delaware, in the first place. So it was clear that his statement on the jet was a perfunctory thing. It looks like it may be a terrible tragedy. The United States will offer any assistance we can to help determine what happened and why. And as a country, our thoughts and prayers are with all the families of the passengers wherever they call home, and bam! He was off. So much so that even that paragon of journalistic talent Piers Morgan has tweeted his abject shock and dismay that Obama would be so cavalier about this. If this was designed to provoke Obama into taking some sort of action, I do not think I mean, he did say, It looks like it might be a terrible tragedy, and then later on (paraphrased), Hey, its great to be here in Delaware, the state that gave us Joe Biden, who just said yesterday that we didnt change anything here in the first term. Ha-ha. Har-har. Isnt that great? Everybody just loves old Joe. 
1	Though area graphic designer Derek Sills says he plays devil's advocate to help his friends better understand opinions different from their own, sources close to Sills claim he takes on the dissenting role merely to be an asshole. 'Now, I don't actually believe this or anything but, for the sake of argument, let's say your girlfriend is just dating you for your money,' Sills said at a party last Saturday, after asking a group of friends to consider that the telephone may have been a 'stupid invention.' 'Just playing devil's advocate here, guys, but perhaps slavery is the reason African Americans are so successful in sports these days.' According to sources, Sills 'crossed the line' when he asked if their friend Jamie's mother might have deserved to die.

1	Calling the situation dangerous and a rescue operation very risky, authorities have confirmed they will now lower a rescue chip into a seven-layer dip to save a broken Tostito that got caught in the party spread approximately 45 seconds ago. According to sources, the rescue snacka restaurant-style corn chip with high-grade scooping capabilitieswill be carefully lowered into the unstable dip, whereupon it will attempt to hook underneath the stranded chip, lift the bisected snack out of the multi-layered food mixture, and bring it to safety. Sources confirm that its a daring rescue operation that represents the last, best hope for the trapped chip. Click to enlarge. What were looking at here is a worst-case scenario. The initial chip is so embedded in the dip that it cant be extricated by conventional means, said the 28-year-old leader of the emergency operation, Jason Larkin, who reportedly was present when the initial chip fractured in two, leaving its lower half helplessly submerged in a composite of salsa, refried beans, and ground beef. If everything goes as planned, and its a big if at this point, well be able to make sure both of these chips get out of there okay. Look, it could have been a combination of factors, including a lack of hand support, or maybe the chip was one of the flimsier ones, or maybe it was just a freak accident, Larkin continued, trying to explain the cause of the disaster. But we can answer those questions later. Now we just have to focus on going in there and getting it out. According to Larkin, the key to a successful operation is finding a secure entry point into the dip, preferably one with as little sour cream as possible. Larkin said that while olives and shredded lettuce are certainly obstructions, they present little danger in terms of snapping the rescue chip in half. We have to be meticulous about this, because the last thing we want is to lose the emergency tortilla, said Larkin, adding that it would be a major setback for the entire operation. Id say right now, we have a 50/50 chance of success. And I would ask that everybody please say a prayer for this chips safe return. According to Larkin, catastrophe struck at approximately 4 p.m. after the initial chip made its ill-advised descent into the heart of a glass serving container of seven-layer dip. Larkin said that the most likely cause of the incident was that while the corn chip easily penetrated the surface layers of olives and shredded cheese, it probably encountered significant resistance while attempting to make its way through the more unforgiving tier of guacamole, which ultimately proved too viscous to surmount. Last known file photo of the wounded chip. Sources claimed the accumulated toppings combined with the pace of the scoop created far too much torque, causing the chip to abruptly sever in two. Time is definitely not on our side here, said Larkin, who noted that the submerged chip segment is only getting soggier by the minute. The isolated chip is currently holding up pretty well, given the circumstances, but its slowly absorbing more and more of the salsa, and there are a couple of smaller chip fragments in the immediate area. These factors will make it increasingly difficult for this second chip to get everything out of there cleanly. Though the leader of the rescue operation said he was confident that, if performed correctly, the complex extraction would result in both chips emerging from the dip safe and sound, he said he blamed himself for allowing such a risky situation to develop. Unfortunately, Ive had experience with this kind of thing before, and I hold myself personally responsible, said Larkin, who admitted that he never should have sent the initial chip in so deep in the first place. Im truly sorry for getting everyone into this mess. At press time, witnesses confirmed that the rescue chip had snapped in half upon attempting to navigate a particularly dense pocket of dip, forcing Larkin to pursue a last-ditch effort of extracting both chips by deploying of a pair of rescue fingertips. 
2	BREAKING: Hillary Announces Massive Hunting Ban... Say Goodbye To Your Favorite Pastime With less than a handful of days to go before the election, Hillary Clinton has already started planning the things she intends to do as president. Spoiler alert: they are good for your second amendment rights. According to recent reports, rap artist Steven Henry recently asked Clinton if she had seen his music video, Gone Hunting, which shows his family on a hunting trip. Clinton responded by commenting that hunting in general needs to change in this country. She argued that there arent enough laws in place to protect animals, and essentially deemed hunting evil. The reports indicate Clinton confirmed she would endorse the confiscation of firearms for this purpose. What do you think? Does Clinton need to be kept far away from the White House? 
3	Perfecting the TechnowarTony Cartalucci, Contributor In all likelihood the US inability to win reflects a failure to balance the weakening of armed resistance to occupation with the propping up of a suitable proxy government. And when fighters are taking up weapons simply to see off foreign invaders something Afghans have been doing perpetually throughout their history it would seem that the US, despite all its military prowess, would need to impossibly scour every crack and crevice to eradicate every man capable of picking up arms and fighting. If this sounds like a familiar narrative, its because the United States fought a similar war in Southeast Asia spanning Laos and Vietnam. Gibson points out the obvious flaws of using a production process approach towoard war. Soldiers motivated to meet quotas for body counts will fabricate numbers, or worse yet, take innocent life in an increasingly desperate and degenerate bid to survive (missed quotas meant more time spent out in the field). Officers likewise will make tactically fatal decisions in pursuit of meeting these irrational quotas in their sycophantic bid to climb up the military hierarchy. The vector sum is a war not based on the just cause of national defense, nor driven by actual achievable strategic objectives, but a war motivated by opportunistic interests attempting to profit from the rules set by policy from the soldiers on the ground seeking the payment of survival, to the officers managing the conflict seeking advancement, to the corporations and their representatives at the top seeking profits and geopolitical corporate-financier hegemony. In this way, the war can take on a life of its own, a dangerous tropism. The Vietnam and Afghan Wars were never wars of national defense. They were military adventures sold to the public as necessary for national defense. In reality, each in turn was a response to shifting geopolitical spheres of influence and the ruling elites desire to dominate them. In Vietnam, the goal was to reassert Western influence over the Vietnamese who were setting a dangerous anti-imperialist precedent for the world. In Afghanistan, the goal appears to be a means of projecting US power against Iran, Pakistan, and even up to the gates of China itself. It has served as a point of geopolitical leverage, destabilization, reordering, and chaos in a region that may have otherwise moved forward together, shaping a multipolar global order that checked or negated the hegemony of Wall Street and London. Image: The Fortune 500s newly launched lobbying front, Defending Defense. It, in reality, is designed to defend only the bottom line of the military industrial complex and the immense, unwarranted power it has procured and projects globally. It too has taken on a life of its own, with profiteers and opportunists seeking its preservation, even expansion to justify increasing bottom lines. For example, Defending Defense is a lobbying front assembled by the American Enterprise Institute a think-tank with Fortune 500 interests fully represented upon its board of trustees, advisory council, and national council. The lobbying effort not only cites current wars the US is fighting, but cites future potential wars that require yet more money to be shifted from productive peaceful progress, to the pursuit of hegemonic megalomania because it is not just about war profits, it is about the power derived in the pursuit of global preeminence. The goal of propping up a proxy government in Vietnam failed, leaving millions dead, with Americans bled dry both literally and financially in the process. The military industrial complex, however, came out only stronger. These leaders have learned the perfect balance of war profiteering, managing public perception, and eliminating political dissent. They have learned that the war must be fought against the people at home just as vigorously as it is fought abroad. On the battlefield, they have mastered the art of motivating officers seeking promotions; willing to say, do, or believe anything in order to proceed up the next rung. Theyve managed to push soldiers just enough to keep them in line and on mission, but not too much to where widespread meaningful dissent forms. And as Dr. Gibson pointed out in his 1987 interview, in the production process of war, soldiers are easily replaced, so with todays repeated tours of duty, we see merely the system maximizing return on investment. Indeed, our leaders have learned much from Vietnam. They are on their way to perfecting the technowar.

2	Bin Laden Alive And Well In Bahamas Says National Security Agent According to reports, National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden has just come forward with claims that he possessed some classified information proving that Osama Bin Laden is still alive. Snowden currently lives as a fugitive in Russia after leaking documents about the NSAs surveillance programs. Now, he has come forward with previously unreported allegations about the famous terrorist, Obama Bin Laden during an interview with the Moscow Tribune. To top that off, Snowden claims that Bin Laden is living a lavish lifestyle in the Bahamas and receiving regular payments from the CIA. I have documents showing that Bin Laden is still on the CIAs payroll, Snowden claims. He is still receiving more than $100,000 a month, which is being transferred through some front businesses and organization, directly to his Nassau bank account. I am not certain where he is now, but in 2013, he was living quietly in his villa with five of his wives and many children. Of course, Obama tells us that the terrorist leader was killed by the United States Navy SEALs on May 2, 2011. According to Snowden, he is still alive in a luxurious Nassau suburb. Snowden argues that the CIA orchestrated the fake death of the former leader of Al Qaeda, while he was actually transported with his family in an undisclosed location in the Bahamas. Osama Bin Laden was one of the CIAs most efficient operatives for a long time, the whistleblower claims. What kind of message would it send their other operatives if they were to let the SEALs kill him? They organized his fake death with the collaboration of the Pakistani Secret services, and he simply abandoned his cover. Since everyone believes he is dead, nobodys looking for him, so it was pretty easy to disappear. Without the beard and the military jacket, nobody recognizes him. In the past, Snowden has been called a hero, a whistleblower, a dissident, a patriot and a traitor. What do you think? 
2	BREAKING: What Michelle Obama Was Just Caught Doing Will Make You FURIOUS For years now, Michelle Obama has been criticized for her impeccable tendency to spend our hard-earned tax dollars on her own vacations. Now, with just a few months left in office for her husband, Michelle has announced plans to go on numerous vacations. She will be traveling to Liberia, Morocco and Spain at the end of the month with her daughters and her mother. The trip will span several days. Michelle claims that the trips are part of an effort to teach girls and young women about the importance of education and help girls stay in school. But we can already foresee our money going down the drain on fancy hotels, security, private jets and shopping sprees. While in Liberia, Michelle plans to visit a Peace Corps training facility and meet with Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the first woman elected to lead an African nation. The following day, she will be in Morocco with actresses Meryl Streep and Freida Pinto. That trio will also participate in a panel about the educational challenges for girls in the area. Finally, Michelle will close her trip by traveling to Spain, where she will be spending time with Queen Letizia Ortiz Rocaslano. According to reports, the trip is expected to cost $300,000 in flights alone. With all expenses included, we will likely be in the millions. What do you think of these reports? Are you ready for the Obamas to be out of the White House for good? 
2	Black TV Host Erupts In Front Of Obama For Being A Hypocrite Ever since Donald Trump officially became our nations President-elect, liberals have been claiming that Trump supporters are committing hate crimes against minorities all over America. They have little evidence to support their claimsunlike the hate crime committed by anti-Trump protesters that was caught on camera and live-streamed on social media. Of course, the mainstream media has not been reporting on the incident. Now, two popular black YouTube stars are calling out Barack Obama and his Department of Justice for turning a blind eye to this disgusting hate crime. This week, reports surfaced that a group of black teenagers in Chicago kidnapped a white homeless man and brutally assaulted him during a Facebook live session, chanting things like F*ck Donald Trump and F*ck white people! Led by Brittany Herring, the gang gagged, beat, and cut the terrified man while he begged for his life. At the end of the 30-minute attack, they forced him to drink toilet water. Despite the fact that this is clearly a disgusting hate crime, the media has refused to address it. Diamond and Silk are not going to sit back silently while Obama ignores this crime. We would like to know where is the DOJ, @TheRevAl, the Civil Rights Movement and @CornellWBrooks to do his Sit In. #HateCrime, the women wrote on Twitter. There is no question if the victim of this crime was a black Hillary Clinton supporter, it would be all over the news. 
1	Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush was aghast to learn Monday that the position of U.S. president, the highest office in the land and most powerful in the free world, pays just $200,000 a year. A distraught George W. Bush, moments after learning of the salary that potentially awaits him. 'That's it?' asked Bush, struggling to comprehend the figure reported to him by aides. 'A measly couple hundred grand a year? Not per month, even? Because I've already spent more than $60 million to get this job. I'll have to be president for 300 years just to break even.' 'I guess I just assumed that a job like that would have a much bigger salary,' continued Bush, shaking his head. 'You know, something like $120 million. That's what my friend Vance Coffman makes as CEO of Lockheed Martin, and that's just an aerospace firm, not a whole country.' Bush was further disturbed to learn that the salary is not bolstered by incentive clauses. 'Don't I maybe get a 2 percent commission on any increase in the GNP? No? And there's no bonus for, say, brokering a Mideast peace accord or vetoing a certain number of bills?' Bush asked. 'Well, at least the salary's tax-free, right?' Told that the position's only benefits are free room and board, unlimited non-personal use of federal vehicles, and comprehensive health care through the Navy, Bush threw up his hands and walked out of the Bush 2000 war room. 'And they wonder why they can't get anyone decent for that job,' Bush told campaign manager Karl Rove during a hallway tirade. 'For Christ's sake, a McDonald's manager probably makes that much a year.' After calling his father, former president George Bush, to confirm the $200,000 figure, Bush held an emergency strategy session with his top advisers to determine a course of action. 'I can't believe this,' Bush told his staff. 'I spent 10 years running my dad's oil company at $14 million a year. Now they tell me that, for running the U.S.which, you realize, includes my dad's oil company, as well as lots of other profitable businessesI'd receive a lousy $200,000. Before taxes. If you ask me, the American people are getting away with highway robbery here.' Bush asked foreign policy advisor Condoleeza Rice if, once elected, he could legislate himself a raise. The answer came as yet another disappointment for the candidate. 'According to Condoleeza, I can't just vote myself more money,' Bush later told Rove. 'She says only Congress can do that, because of that whole ratification thing you told me about. Or maybe it was because of checks and balancesI forget exactly what she said. Anyway, I can't do it. And, apparently, charging other nations for military intervention is just not done, either.' Though he is 'pretty sure' he won't drop out of the race, Bush said massive corporate restructuring is needed to make the presidential post attractive to top executives such as himself. 'I guess I'll stay in the race and take the job if I get it. But, regardless, something's got to be done about this situation,' Bush said. 'Aren't there some agencies we could cut to clear some room under the salary cap for the president? What does the Department of the Interior do? That could probably go. Housing and Urban Development, too. We could probably sell some congressional skyboxes. That's what we did to get Nolan [Ryan] when I was running the [Texas] Rangers.' 'I know my dad made a bundle off the Gulf War,' Bush continued. 'But I guess it wasn't through the job. I'll have to ask him just exactly how he did it. Maybe something like that would work again.'

2	Thug Threatens To Kill Trump, Gets Triple Helping Of Brutal Justice [VIDEO] Last month, an aspiring rapper from Baton Rouge, Louisiana uploaded videos of himself threatening presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. In the footage, he was shown waving several different guns. I really want to go to war with Donald Trump because Donald Trump tryna take food stamps away from my momma and that all (expletive) she got, Demarcus Davis (also known as Maine Musik) said in one of his disgusting videos. According to a local station, when authorities learned about the videos, they noticed that the makes and models of the firearms being shown matched those of guns stolen from the Meaux Guns Ammo shop during a robbery last year. Investigating Davis further, officers found a picture of him holding a Ruger pistol on his Facebook page, which confirmed that he was in possession of the stolen guns. Davis third strike came when he ran a stop sign and authorities found him in possession of drugs at a traffic stop. The wannabe rapper was immediately arrested and charged with three counts of a felon in possession of a firearm, one count of illegal possession of a stolen firearm and one count of possession of Schedule V drugs. What do you think? Did this guy get exactly what he deserves for threatening Trump? 
2	What Obama Just Did To Americans Should Make You VERY Afraid According to recent reports, the Pentagon has been deploying drones to spy over U.S. territory for non-military missions for the past decade. Though rare, these flights are lawful. The report, which comes from a Pentagon inspector general and was made public under a Freedom of Information Act request, claims that these type of missions have occurred fewer than 20 times between 2006 and 2015. The report also notes that the Pentagon takes the use of military drones very seriously. The Pentagon has publicly posted a partial list of the drone mission that have flown in non-military airspace over the United States. There were nine missions between 2001 and 2016, which largely consist with search and rescue missions for floods, fires or National Guard exercises. Sometimes, new technology changes so rapidly that existing law no longer fits what people think it appropriate, Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst for the ACLU told reporters. Its important to remember that the Americna people do find this to be a very, very sensitive topic. The report, which was officially completed in March of 2015, claims that the Pentagon established an interim guidance in 2006 governing when and whether an unmanned aircraft could be used domestically. The policy allowed spy drones to be used for homeland defense purposes in the U.S. and to assist civil authorities. The policy also argued that the any use of these drones had to be approved by the Secretary of Defense. The appetite to use them in the domestic environment to collect airborne imagery continues to grow, as does Congressional and media interest in their deployment, a military law review article notes. Shortly before the report was completed, the Pentagon issued a new policy governing the use of spy drones and requiring the defense secretary to approve all domestic spy drone operations. Unless permitted by law and approved by the secretary, drones may not conduct surveillance on U.S. persons. What do you think of this new report?

1	The Food and Drug Administration announced Friday that it has approved an increase in the recommended dosage of acetaminophen for children who can hack it. 'Our research shows there is a growing number of 2-year-olds out there who are fully able to keep their shit together and hang with the big boys,' FDA commissioner Margaret Hamburg said. 'Just because some toddlers evidently can't walk the walk doesn't mean that other children should be forced to settle for some pussy little 320 milligrams dose when they could easily handle 960 milligrams if it came down to it. 'The three-fold increase of the previously recommended dosage reportedly came about after an FDA researcher accidentally gave her nephew more than she should have and he was totally fine. 
3	Hundreds flock to public meeting to debate restart of potentially dangerous San Onofre reactorMadison Ruppert, Contributor A report published earlier this year revealed that there is a distinct possibility of even disasters occurring in the future which are significantly larger than the radioactive leaks discovered earlier this year which were later reviewed by a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Augmented Inspection Team. The relatively massive group that showed up to the public meeting was characterized by The Orange County Register as a sometimes-boisterous crowd and included plant operator Southern California Edison, anti-nuclear activists, a union representative for San Onofre workers and state utility and energy regulators. The meeting was preceded by a demonstration outside the St. Regis Monarch Beach Hotel during which some activists called for a more thorough review of Southern California Edisons plan to restart one of the two reactors at the San Onofre nuclear power station and others called for a complete shutdown of the plant. Last week the NRC received a proposal from Edison in which they sought to restart the Unit 2 reactor at 70 percent capacity. [Edison] expected to eliminate the vibrations among steam generator tubes believed to have caused the problems that have kept the plant closed, according to the Register. However, as the above-linked report reveals, the problems are far too critical to treat in a less-than-serious manner. No plans to restart or even repair Unit 3 have been handed over to the NRC by Edison as of yet. Let me be clear, said Gene Stone, an activist out of San Clemente, according to the Register. We stand for decommissioning this old nuclear plant as soon as possible, before ratepayers or taxpayers spend any more money to repair it. However, the Register makes a point of stating that a comment in support of continuing the review to restart the reactor was met with loud applause from supporters in the audience. Thats hardly surprising seeing as the large crowd included a large contingent of Southern California Edison employees bused by the company to the site. In other words, the company stuffed the audience with their own employees who have a quite clear ulterior motive behind their support for the plant restart. The Los Angeles Times, similarly, painted the issue as one which should not be of legitimate concern in writing that the original steam generator tube problem released only a minuscule amount of radioactive steam. Some of those in attendance, along with the environmental group Friends of the Earth, called on the NRC to hold an evidentiary hearing to review the plants safety. No decision was made during the public meeting. That seems to me a dangerous experiment to perform for all of us who live close to San Onofre when you already have the precedent that one of the identically designed steam generators has failed, pointed out panelist Donald Mosier, a professor at Scripps Research Institute and a Del Mar City Council member, according to the Times. Interestingly, both the Register and the Times quoted one of the panel members, Richard McPherson, characterizing him as a nuclear industry veteran and someone who worked in the nuclear industry since 1963, respectively. The Times and the Register both called him a Laguna Niguel resident. In reality, Richard McPherson is the Executive Vice President of DownRange Global Solutions, a corporation which, according to their official website, is located in Vail, Arizona. McPherson personally confirmed in an email response to End the Lie that he is the same individual listed on DownRange Globals website and quoted by the Times and Register. It is unclear why neither news outlet properly identified him. DownRange Globals website calls McPherson a retired Naval Nuclear Engineering Officer, a title repeated in an article McPherson penned for National Defense Magazine. According to their official website, DownRange Global, among other things, works in various sectors including nuclear, nuclear security, small modular reactors, risk management, project design review and more. Clearly, McPherson, like the Edison employees, has an ulterior motive, which makes his statements questionable. We need to get this power plant back online as quickly as we can, McPherson said, according to the Times. Its a technical problem, the people involved know how to fix it. We need to get on with fixing it and get our electricity back. We need to get the steam generators back so we can enjoy many more years of secure and stable energy provided by this nuclear power plant, said McPherson, according to the Register. The Times points out that at some points the public meeting became quite chaotic with some in the audience screaming Shut up! while others cheered on a women who asked, Is there a safe level of radiation? When a union representative got up to speak on behalf of employees, crowd members shouted Whats your question?! reports the Times. While no final decision was reached, the NRC regional administrator, Elmo Collins, promised more public meetings and a thorough review before any decision is made regarding restarting the plant. Ultimately, Collins admitted, the NRC will decide if they carry out the full evidentiary hearing process, meaning that the public reallydoesnthave a say in the matter.

3	Are The Real Enemies In Syria Or Washington?Brandon Smith The definition of what makes an enemy may vary from person to person. But I would say that, generally, an enemy is one who has an active ability to do irreparable harm to you or your essential values. He is motivated by destruction, the destruction of all that you hold dear. He is capable and unrelenting. He is a legitimate threat. He will not compromise. He will not waver. He will do anything to wound you. He will not stop. He is possessed. Americans have spent the better part of a century being told who their enemies are with very little explanation or substantiation. We have blindly rallied around our patriotic prerogative without knowing the root cause of the conflict or the nature of the target we are told to annihilate. We have been suckered into war after war, conjured by international interests in order to lure us into accepting greater centralization and concentrated globalism. As a culture, Im sorry to say, we have been used. We are a tool of unmitigated doom. We are the loaded gun in the hand of the devil. This paradigm has done irreparable harm to our standing in the eyes of the peoples of the world. But until recently, it has done very little harm to us as a society. We have allowed ourselves to be used like a bloody club, but we have not yet felt the true pain or the true cost. We have been insulated from consequence. However, this comfortable situation is quickly coming to an end. When one applies the above definition of the enemy to Syria, one comes away with very little satisfaction. The Syrian government poses absolutely no immediate threat to the United States. In fact, the civil war that now rages within its borders has been completely fabricated by our own government. The insurgency has been funded, armed, trained and ultimately directed by the U.S. intelligence community. Without U.S. subversion, the civil war in Syria would not exist. I point back to the core issue. That is to say, I would examine who pose a legitimate threat to our country and our principles. The Syrian government under Bashar Assad clearly has no capability to threaten our freedom, our economic stability, our social stability, or our defensive capabilities. There is, though, a group of people out there who do, in fact, pose a significant threat to the American way of life on every conceivable level. These people do not live on the other side of the world. They do not wear foreign garb or speak another language. Most of them do not have pigmented skin or Asian features. They look just like you and I, and they live in Washington D.C. If the so-called debate over a possible military strike in Syria has done anything, it has certainly brought the American publics true enemies frothing to the surface like so much sewage. Men who posed as liberal proponents of peace not long ago now salivate over the prospect of bloodshed. Men who once posed as fiscal conservatives now clamor for more Federal funding to drive the U.S. war machine. Men who claimed to represent the citizenry now ignore all calls for reason by the public in the pursuit of global dominance. I have warned of the considerable dangers of a war in Syria for years long before most people knew or cared about the Assad regime. Being in this position has allowed me to view the escalating crisis with a considerable amount of objectivity. In the midst of so much chaos and confusion, if you know who stands to gain and who stands to lose, the progression of events becomes transparent, and the strategy of the actual enemy emerges. So what have I observed so far? If you want to know who has malicious intent toward our Constitutional values, simply move your eyes away from the Mideast and focus on our own capital. The ill will toward liberty held by the leadership of both the Democratic and Republican parties is obvious in the Congressional support of the banker bailouts, the Patriot Acts, the National Defense Authorization Act, the Presidents domestic assassination directives, the hands-off approach to National Security Agency mass surveillance, etc. But even beyond these litmus tests, the Syrian debate has unveiled numerous enemies of the American people within our own government. The catastrophe inherent in a Syrian strike is at least partially known to most of the public. We are fully aware that there will be blowback from any new strike in the Mideast (limited or unlimited), economically as well as internationally. So if the average American with little political experience understands the consequences of such an action, the average politician should be more than educated on the dangers. Any representative who blatantly ignores the calamity ahead is either very stupid or has an agenda. I find it fascinating that politicians and bureaucrats from both sides of the aisle are now coming out of the woodwork to cheerlead alongside each other for war and the state. For those who are predominantly preoccupied with Barack Obama as the source of all our ills, I would gladly point out that Republican leader and House Speaker John Boehner has also thrown his support behind a Syrian strike, even before the U.N. investigative report on Syrian chemical weapons use has been released. In the meantime, self-proclaimed Republican stalwarts like John McCain (R-Ariz.) have argued that Obamas limited strike response is not enough. This is the same man, by the way, who has been instrumental in the monetary and military support of Al Qaeda in Syria. McCain has recently called for avid pursuit of the new Russian proposal for chemical disarmament in Syria, not because he wants to find a peaceful solution to the situation, but because he believes the deal can be used as a bargaining chip to convince Congress to VOTE FOR military force, in order to keep pressure on Assad. Secretary of State John Kerry, who not long ago ran for President on the platform of being an anti-war Democrat, now regularly begs the American people to back further war based on the same dubious evidence for which he once criticized the George W. Bush Administration. In fact, Kerry has made it clear that even if Congress votes no against a strike, he believes Obama has the right to set one in motion anyway. Senator Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.), the man who openly admits in mainstream interviews that he believes the President has the right to indefinitely detain or assassinate American citizens without trial or oversight, has loudly indicated his support for a war on Syria. His criticisms parallel McCains in that he believes the Obama Administration should have attacked without Congressional approval or should commit to an all-out military shift into the region. That is to say, he believes the goal of the White House should be invasion and regime change, not just disarmament. Graham consistently fear mongers in the mainstream media, often warning that without a hard, immediate strike against Syria, catastrophe will befall Israel, and chemical andnuclear weapons will rain on America. All I have to say to Graham is, if chemical or nuclear weapons are used against the American people, it will be because the establishment ALLOWED it to happen just as it has allowed numerous attacks in the past to occur in order to facilitate pretext for a larger war. (The Gulf of Tonkin is a fitting example considering the many similarities between the Syrian debacle and Vietnam, the only difference being that this time the establishment is throwing its support on the side of the insurgency, rather than the prevailing government). For those out there in the movement who are hoping for reason and logic to prevail during a Congressional debate on the Syrian issue, I would suggest that they do not hold their breath. This vote was decided before Obama ever allowed it to go to the Hill. The vote has been cast. The debate is a sideshow designed to make the American people feel as if their system of government still functions as it should. Remember, no Congress in the history of the United States has ever refused the request of a President to make war. The more than 150 Congressmen who demanded a vote on the Syrian crisis did so because they wanted to be included in the process, not because they necessarily opposed a war. That leaves nearly 300 representatives who had NO PROBLEM whatsoever with Obama attacking Syria unilaterally without any checks or balances. The Senate panel that initiated the voting process on the strike plan passed the initiative 10-7. I have no doubt that Obama has the votes to confirm the use of force, even with all the talk of uncertainty in evidence or planning. The Russian offer of organizing chemical disarmament has barely made a dent in the White Houses war rhetoric, as was evident in Barack Obamas address to the nation yesterday. When asked in an interview with NBC if he has made up his mind whether or not he will forge ahead with military action if Congress votes his proposal down, Obama stated: Its fair to say that I havent decided Putting on the airs of a Roman Emperor, Obamas thumb remains in the neutral position over the gladiator pit of Syria, but as he clearly points out, he can give the thumbs down anytime he chooses. If anything, the White House and the elitist machine are simply using the next few weeks (the approximate time being discussed for chemical disarmament) to establish further precedent, or conjure new atrocities, in order to garner a minimal public backing for violent action in the region. And, lets not forget our friendly enemies in the mainstream media. The MSM is in rare form the past week, fabricating numerous arguments as to why the average American just doesnt get the Syrian situation. The latest disinformation campaigns seem to be revolving around generating alternative motivations for a strike Obamas red line was crossed and we must strike in order to save face amongst our allies. A refusal to strike Syria will embolden Iran and lead them to use their own WMDs in terrorist acts (WMDs which are still not proven to exist). And my favorite argument: That refusing to strike would mean abandoning the Syrian rebelsin their war on Assad. You know, the same rebels permeated with psychopathic Al Qaeda operatives that our government trained and funded. The mainstream media steamroller is barreling forward, searching for ANY talking point that will hook the American populace into rationalizing an attack. I have to say, I dont think Ive ever seen so many pencil-necked weaklings call for so much blood. The strategy seems to be an attempt to shift Americas attention away from the alleged chemical attack alone, and discombobulate us with multiple sales pitches of death in case Congressional support turns sour (which I doubt). But lets say Obama does not get his Congressional approval; as stated earlier his office has asserted on numerous occasions that he has the authority to trigger war regardless. A no vote in Washington means nothing today due to war powers granted after 9/11. The probable scenario, though, is the most common scenario. Congress will likely authorize the use of limited military force without directly declaring war on the Assad regime. This is exactly what Congress did in the wake of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. There was no evidence of an Al Qaeda support structure and no evidence of weapons of mass destruction, but war exploded nonetheless. Congress gave Bush a blank check to do whatever he saw fit, and I believe Congress will do the same for Obama. America is being set up to look like the bad guy or the fool, but why? Our political leadership is devoted to the ideology of globalization, not sovereignty or U.S prosperity. A Syrian strike places the United States in tremendous peril, the likes of which have not been seen since the Cuban missile crisis. Syria itself is a vacuum of suffocating calamity; a black hole swirling in a void of economic and sociological interdependency. Where the United States enters, so follows Iran, so follows Israel, so follows Saudi Arabia, so follows Lebanon, so follows Jordan, so follows Egypt, so follows Russia, so follows China and on and on. In my analysis of Syria over the years, I have exposed this domino effect of war as well as the possible calamities of an economic chain reaction. Escalating conflict in Syria will eventually lead to the end of the dollars world reserve status and the collapse of the U.S. financial system. Knowing that this is the ultimate result of a strike in the region, many people would ask WHYthe White House and so many prominent figures in Congress would be so hell-bent on setting such wheels in motion. I would stand back from the chaos and ask what I always ask: Who gains the most from the disaster? The demise of American currency dominance and the degradation of the American spirit do indeed benefit a select few. For the most part, central banks and globalists have taken a hands-off approach to the Syrian debacle. Perhaps thats because doing so makes it easier for them to survey the inevitable collapse from a distance and swoop in later as our saviors, ready to rebuild the world according to their own ideals. Having a debased and desperate U.S. populace certainly makes the transition to total globalization and centralization much easier. My original query was: Who is the real enemy? No matter what happens in the coming months and years, never forget that question. Who poses the greatest threat to our freedom: Syria or the political ghouls trying to convince us to decimate Syria? Who claims the power to take everything we have? Who claims the power to take our liberty and our lives at a whim? Who claims the power to kill innocents in our name? Who disregards the checks and balances of Constitutionalism at every turn? Who truly threatens our future and the future of our children? Do not be distracted by stories of foreign monsters far away when the real monsters lurk so quietly under your bed. Even if we can find a successful strategy to pressure Congress into avoiding a Syrian conflict, I say remain vigilant. America is one global hiccup away from oblivion. And if this is what the establishment wants, they will find a way to make it happen. The threat of continuous U.S. catastrophe will only end when the poison is removed from our very veins, and that process of purification begins with the removal of the criminal political structures and banking structures in Washington.

2	Hillary Clinton Just Accidentally Posted This Picture Online, And Now Shes Scrambling To Get It Taken Down [SEE PHOTO] Hillary Clinton has had a rough week, with her approval ratings dropping to an embarrassing low. Now, Kathleen Willey has just launched an anti-Clinton website. Willey claims that she is a survivor of a sexual assault by Bill Clinton. Now, she claims that she launched the website to prevent another Clinton from taking a place in the White House ever again. Still, that wasnt all Hillary had to endure this week. The presidential hopeful had a social media flop today when she posted a picture on her Twitter account that backfired. The picture went viral as Twitter users provided alternate captions for the photograph. Clearly, Hillarys attempt at being cool is failing miserably. What do you think? Should Hillary just give up now? 
1	In what political insiders are calling one of the weirdest campaign gaffes in history, Republican presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty shaved every single hair off his body this weekend while campaigning in Iowa. Pawlenty, after what critics are calling a 'bafflingly bad' choice. The bizarre misstep by the former Minnesota governor, who is currently in the midst of a nine-city speaking tour across the crucial early-primary state, has left media pundits and political strategists baffled, with all of them agreeing that shearing the hair from his head, face, arms, legs, and torso has jeopardized Pawlenty's bid for the presidency. 'This was a massive and, frankly, confusing miscalculation by Gov. Pawlenty,' Republican campaign strategist Matthew Dowd said. 'Every candidate attempts to distinguish himself from the field and gain an edge with voters, and unfortunately for the governor, he seems to have come to the conclusion that shaving every inch of himself clean and leaving his body bald and smooth all over would help him better connect with Americans. I just really don't think he thought this one through.' The former Minnesota governor, moments before driving away on an antique three-wheeled motorcycle. 'To be honest, I'm sort of at a loss here,' Dowd added. 'But this will certainly cost him with undecided voters, that's for sure.' Public reaction to Pawlenty's slip-up has thus far been overwhelmingly negative. A Rasmussen poll conducted Sunday found that 89 percent of Americans wanted to know why Tim Pawlenty had shaved the hair off every part of his body, one-third of likely voters had no idea why a person would do that, and 9 in 10 citizens said they had absolutely no interest in seeing a man with no body hair in the White House. In addition, countless citizens have argued that Pawlenty's shaved body has distracted the nation from discussing the real issues facing Americans. 'When I saw Mr. Pawlenty last week, I think he talked for a long time about family values and maybe balancing the budget, but all I could focus on was how freaky and kind of gross he looked,' said 44-year-old Kevin Rios, who attended Friday's town-hall-style meeting with Pawlenty in Denison, IA. 'Have you ever been stared at by a guy with no eyelashes? It's the creepiest thing.' While the exact rationale behind Pawlenty's full-body hair removal remains unknown, the two-term governor has made his newly shorn look a focal feature of his campaign, having appeared at a series of voter meet-and-greets over the weekend wearing short-sleeve shirts and shorts that prominently displayed his soft, fleshy, and completely hairless limbs. 'We believe he's trying to send some sort of message to the electorate, but honestly we have no idea what that message is,' said veteran political analyst Kevin Phillips, who stated that it was 'hard to imagine' how a candidate could make such a large and admittedly strange blunder in today's era of tightly run campaign machines and focus groups. 'Maybe it's something about the importance of cleanliness or nutrition, orI have no clue.' In the wake of widespread criticism and general puzzlement from voters, Pawlenty has seemingly attempted to compensate by making a number of other image shifts that have only served to make him appear odder, including wearing a full-length beaver pelt jacket to a rally in Cedar Rapids, and plugging his hollowed-out earlobes with four-inch stainless-steel ear gauges. Sources have also confirmed that Pawlenty paused in the middle of several recent policy speeches to apply lotion liberally to his bald forearms, calves, and head. When contacted for comment, Pawlenty staffers attempted to downplay critics' assertions that the governor had effectively torpedoed his campaign, arguing that he was still a viable candidate committed to serving the American people. 'This campaign is not about who has hair on their body and who hasn'tit's about real issues affecting the American people,' campaign manager Nick Ayers said. 'Gov. Pawlenty is a bold and decisive conservative leader, and we're confident voters will be able to look past any recent superficial changes in his appearance and recognize that.' Despite the largely negative reaction to his recent behavior, a completely hairless Pawlenty continued to outpoll fellow Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich by a four-to-one margin. 
3	Catastrophic: Hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer warns of EMPImminent: Only a matter of time until entire electric grid destroyed by natural or man-made event Billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Singer is warning investors and more broadly, lawmakers and leaders about the potential destructive power of an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, which could be triggered by solar events or artificially, via blasts in the atmosphere. According to Singer, research shows that no other incident, including a nuclear bomb, has the potential for such wide-scale devastation, coupled with the relative likelihood of occurring. While a nuke would primarily impact on the location of a such (such a city), an EMP could occur globally or across large-scale regions, wreaking havoc on the entire electric grid and devices. CNBC reported: The Center for Security Policy, along with other officials, have similarly warned: Government agencies, such as NASA and Homeland Security, have taken some preliminary steps towards preparing for an EMP attack regardless of the potential for natural of man made causes but the public at large remains cripplingly unaware of the dangers present to modern life, and its reliance on all things electronic, digital and, thus, transient. We reported in August 2013 on then Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitanos claim that a collapse of the grid was an imminent if not when scenario unsettling, whatever ones read on the looming government agendas at work. What You Can Do: Preparing for the Worst The prolific writer Michael Snyder, warning that an impending EMP event that could bring down the entire grid is only a matter of time, outlined some steps that individuals can take to prepare, protect their devices, and plan for adjustments to life off the grid, which could take months or even years to repair in some areas. In short, consider your own reliance on electronic banking, credit/debit cards, ATMs, heating, lights, Internet/TV/radio, phones, ATMs, gas/fuel, and government/commerce at large. With this in mind, hedge your preparation for emergencies with as much physical currency, food, fuel, candles, water as you can reasonably store/save up, as one would for other emergencies. Also, with some planning, you can create Faraday cages and bags to shield electronics (perhaps backup units and parts) from damage. You can convert such common objects as metal trash cans into safe storage areas, but it must be done in advance.

1	Indianapolis Colts head coach Jim Caldwell told reporters Thursday he has decided to start 13-year veteran and 11-time Pro Bowler Peyton Manning at quarterback for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the New York Jets. 'After much deliberation, we believe that Peyton's four MVP awards and one Super Bowl ring give us the best chance to win,' said Caldwell, adding that Manning being a first-ballot Hall of Famer 'factored somewhat' into his final decision. 'Curtis Painter is a promising young player, but at the end of the day, you have to ask yourself, 'Do I go with the guy who has 28 career pass attempts or with the fastest player in NFL history to reach 1,000 completions, 2,000 completions, 3,000 completions, and 4,000 completions?'' Caldwell concluded the press conference by stressing that it's 'always week-to-week,' but Manning would likely be the frontrunner to start a divisional matchup should he lead the team to victory Saturday. 
2	Obama Is Furious: Gun Policy Falls Flat After American Patriots Do THIS Americans across the country have just done something incredible in the fight against Obamas gun policy. It has been reported that gun sales have gone up for six consecutive months. People arent taking lightly to Obama trying to strip away our rights. The FBI reported that there were a record number of background checks this October. This is highly correlated with gun sales. The FBI has processed 18 million background checks this year. Americans are refusing to back down. This is a straight F**k you to Obama. Do you think every American should be able to own a gun? 
1	During Mondays pregame broadcast, TNT basketball analyst and NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley confirmed that there have been only three straight players in the history of the league: himself and two of his former Phoenix Suns teammates. 'So there was me, obviously, Kevin Johnson, and I'm pretty sure Dan Majerle was mostly straight,' said Barkley, adding that Wilt Chamberlain had sex with at least twice as many men as women. 'George Mikan, Michael Jordan, Jerry West, the entire Detroit Pistons roster under Chuck Daley, Chuck Daley, James Worthy, which is a no-brainer once you meet the guy, Derrick Coleman, and everyone elseall card-carrying friends of Dorothy. Ill say this, if you want to see gay in all its glory, enter an NBA locker room. There is no more gay-friendly place on earth. Barkley's controversial statement comes on the heels of another incident just two days earlier, when Kevin McHale, upon being asked about Joakim Noah's use of an antigay slur, responded by passionately kissing TNT commentator Kenny Smith until the channel broke to commercial. 
3	Dispatches From a Dissident -- Articles From the Infowarselfnews Post Brandon is known for his detailed research in the area of Codex Alimentarius, which was the subject of his first book. His second book, 7 Real Conspiracies presented the documented facts about the overall global agenda of control. In Five Sense Solutions he outlined practical, real-world strategies for maintaining personal freedom and for restoring the Republic. Now Brandon has issued acollection of more than 50 articles spanning from 2002 to mid-2011, which offers a key insight into the evolution of both a writer and an activist. The collection begins with Turbevilles very first published article speaking out against the USA PATRIOT Act, and continues to his more recent work published with alternative media outlets such Infowars and selfnews Post. This collection contains a wide range of concepts dealing with the financial collapse, healthcare, war, natural health, world government, civil liberties, and many other topics. Turbevilles work is supported by his trademark heavy research and citation while always keeping the big picture in clear view. It has been said before that the majority of modern warfare is fought with information. This new book is a collection of dispatches from that war.Articles From the Infowar contains 395 pages of concise documentation and analysis, which makes it the perfect tool to help wake-up friends and family, as well as your local leaders and politicians. It also serves as a reminder to those who are awake of how fast the full-spectrum control grid has advanced, and how important it is that we work even harder to oppose all that it represents. It has never been truer that all it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing. Weare convinced that those with good intentions will be moved to action by Dispatches From a Dissident. 
3	Government Shutdown? 36 Facts Which Prove That Almost Everything Is Still RunningMichael Snyder Yes, the Obama administration has been making a big show of taking down government websites and blocking off the World War II Memorial, but overall business in Washington D.C. is being conducted pretty much as usual. It turns out that the definition of essential personnel has expanded so much over the years that almost everyone is considered essential at this point. In fact, this shutdown is such a non-event that even referring to it as a partial government shutdown would really be overstating what is actually happening. The following are 36 facts which prove that almost everything is still running during this government shutdown #2 Approximately 1,350,000 essential federal employees will continue to work during this government shutdown. #3 Overall, 63 percent of the federal workforce will continue to work during this government shutdown. #5 U.S. military personnel will remain on duty and will continue to get paid. #6 Social Security recipients will continue to get their benefits. #7 Medicare recipients will continue to get their benefits. #8 Medicaid recipients will continue to get their benefits. #9 Food stamp recipients will continue to get their benefits. #10 Those on unemployment will continue to get their benefits. #11 Federal retirees will continue to get their pensions. #12 The federal school lunch program has enough money to go through at least the end of this month. #13 Public schools all over the country will continue to stay open. #14 Almost all federal law enforcement officials will continue working. #15 The Federal Reserve will remain completely functional. #16 The Supreme Court will continue to operate normally and federal courts have enough money to keep going for at least two weeks. #17 TSA employees will continue to molest travelers at our airports. #18 Air traffic controllers will continue to monitor traffic at our airports. #19 Hopelessly outmanned border patrol agents will continue to try to stem the tide of illegal immigration. #20 Visas and passports will continue to be issued by the State Department. #21 The Veterans Administration will continue to offer substandard medical services, and it will be able to continue processing benefit payments at least for now. #22 The Obama administration apparently has plenty of money to spend on closing open-air memorials that are usually open to the public 24 hours a day. #23 The Department of Defense announced the awarding of 94 new contracts worth a combined total of more than 5 billion dollars on September 30th the day right before the government shutdown. #24 The government shutdown has not prevented the new two billion dollar NSA spy center from opening up. #25 Federal prisons will continue to operate normally. #26 Amtrak trains will continue to run. #27 The Patent and Trademark Office will be open. #28 The Consumer Product Safety Commission will continue to issue product recalls if the products create an immediate threat to the safety of human life. #29 The National Weather Service and the National Hurricane Center will continue to track weather patterns. #30 If the federal government needs to respond to a natural disaster, this shutdown will not affect that. #31 NASA will continue to support the Mars Rover and the two American astronauts up on the International Space Station. #32 All city employees of the D.C. government have been deemed essential and will continue to go to work. #33 Even though the Obamacare exchanges are not working properly, people will still be able to access them. #34 The IRS will continue to collect taxes, but it will be suspending punitive audits of conservative organizations. #35 Barack Obama will continue to get paid for the full duration of this shutdown. #36 The U.S. Congress will continue to get paid for the full duration of this shutdown. Of course not everything is operating normally during this government shutdown. Government parks are closed. The EPA and the Department of Energy have almost totally closed up shop. But overall, most Americans are not going to notice much of a difference. And perhaps now is a good time for the American people to evaluate whether or not they actually need a gigantic federal government that wastes enormous mountains of our money. For example, our federal government recently spent $98,670 to construct a single outhouse in Alaska. That is more than a lot of Americans pay for their entire houses. For many more examples like this, please see my previous article entitled The Waste List: 66 Crazy Ways That The U.S. Government Is Wasting Your Hard-Earned Money. It is about time that Washington D.C. started experiencing some of the belt-tightening that the rest of the country has been going through. For far too long, the fatcats in D.C. have been living in an alternate reality where they have been able to live the high life at our expense. A recent blog post by Daniel Greenfield discussed how this shutdown is going to affect the alternate reality that the Obamas have been living in The government shutdown has forced Obama to make do with only a quarter of his 1,701 person staff. That would leave 436 vital employees. The 90 people who look after his living quarters would be slashed to 15 to provide minimum maintenance and support. Buckingham Palace, which is twelve times the size of the White House and has its own clockmaker, only has an 800 person staff. King Harald V of Norway and his court make do with 152 staffers. King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden gets by with 203. On Twitter, Michelle Obama announced that she is unable to Tweet on her own without the aid of all of her sixteen assistants; many of whom take home six figure salaries. There are more directors, associate directors and deputy associate directors on Michelle Obamas staff than there were in George Washingtons entire administration. Presidents have fought wars and made peace, explored and annexed vast territories and built a nation out of a handful of colonies with fewer senior staffers than are needed to handle Michelle Obamas Twitter account. Oh the humanity! Will Michelle Obama ever tweet again? And how will the White House continue to function without at least one projectionist on duty at the White House 24 hours a day? No wonder Barack Obama is so upset about this shutdown. In the end, this shutdown could turn out to be very good for America. We have a government that is wildly out of control and that desperately needs to be reigned in. During the Obama administration, federal debt held by the public has risen by 90 percent, and overall federal government spending has risen by a whopping 317 percent since 1990. So is it really a bad thing that the federal government has been forced to cut back for a little while? This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

3	Is the SEC Obtaining Emails Without a Warrant?Mark M. Jaycox But now it appears that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the civil agency in charge of protecting investors and ensuring orderly markets, may be doing the same exact thing: it is trying to use ECPA to force service providers to hand over email without a warrant, in direct violation of the Fourth Amendment. EFF and the Digital Due Process Coalition, a diverse coalition of privacy advocates and major companies, are fighting hard to push a common sense reform to ECPA. The law, passed in the 1980s before the existence of webmail, has been used to argue that emails older than 180 days may be accessed without a warrant based on probable cause. Instead, the agencies send a mere subpoena, which means that the agency does not have to involve a judge or show that the emails will provide evidence of a crime. Just because your emails are on your computer, must not mean they have any less protection than if they were printed on your desk. Many other agencies disagree with the SECs approach and recognize the Fourth Amendment covers all private communicationswhether paper or electronic. Its time for the SEC to update its practices so that its inline with the courts, public opinion, and with other agencies. Its also time for the White House to send a clear message to all of its executive agencies. Remember, the SEC consists of five presidentially appointed commissioners. Since November, the White House has failed to respond to a White House Petition demanding ECPA reform. The White House must pronounce loud and clear that it supports HR 1852, The Email Privacy Act,and that government agencies like the SEC should not be using ECPA as a run-around to the Fourth Amendment. Many courts, including the Sixth Circuit in United States v. Warshak, have already ruled that emails and other private communications are protected by the Fourth Amendment. Congress, through members such as Senators Patrick Leahy and Ron Wyden; and Representatives Kevin Yoder, Tom Graves, and Jared Polis, are pushing common sense reforms to ECPA like HR 1852 The Email Privacy Act. The bills are slowly making its way through Congress, but we can speed them up. Tell your Representative now to support HR 1852 so that we dont leave email privacy laws stuck in the 1980s.

1	Promising viewers a glimpse into a shocking alternate reality, the History Channel is set to debut Monday its newest show, Life Without History, which theorizes a world in which the cable channel had never been created. This exciting program takes viewers back to 1995 as our parent company, A&E, decides to focus its resources on existing projects rather than launch a new network, and then follows the development of an unusual nonfiction television landscape completely different than the one we have come to know, executive producer Janet Harper said of the six-part primetime event, which includes interviews with historical experts and employs computer simulations to explore what shows viewers might have watched instead. Well delve into fascinating questions, like how would individuals have spent their Thursday nights in a world without Pawn Stars and Pawnography? What, if anything, would entertain war buffs with no Patton 360 or Battlefield Detectives? And whether the compelling stories of men who drive trucks across frozen Arctic lakes would have ever been told to a television audience. Harper said she didnt want to give away any of the shows secrets, but noted that Swamp People would have found a way to exist whether there was a History Channel or not. 
2	WATCH: Hillary Clinton Nearly Passes Out When Asked About NYC Bombing... Shes Drugged [VIDEO] This weekend, a bomb went off in the Chelsea District of New York City, leaving more than two dozen Americans injured. Another explosive device in the form of a pressure cooker was discovered by police just blocks away. Hillary Clinton commented on the matter, speaking to reporters on her plane. The video was extremely disturbing, as it looked as though the Democratic nominee was going to pass out. Clintons health has been in question for months now, but concerns escalated last week when footage was released of her stumbling outside of the 9/11 memorial. Watch the interview below and tell us what you think. Liz Kreutz (@ABCLiz) September 18, 2016 
2	Heres The Horrific Thing That This Mother Makes Her 1 Year Old Eat. It Made Her Cry Out In Pain When I was a kid, my parents always encouraged me to try knew things. How are you going to learn whether you like it if you never try? Because of their urging me to explore, I tried Indian food, sushi (even though I thought I hated fish) and plenty others. Its good to urge your kids to try new foods, but one mother may have gone too far. This little girl did not have a positive experience when she tried this food, a hot jalapeno pepper. She even drops it on the floor, and the mom picks it back up for her! The 16 month old girl breaks into tears, in what this mother must have assumed would come across as a cute video. What do you think? In my opinion, this crosses the line from experimenting with new things to bordering on child abuse. This girl had no idea what she was getting into when she took a bite of that pepper, but her mother did. I frankly dont find it all that funny. But if you think its all in good fun, let me know why in the comments section!

This reality is all around us, but the full impact yet appreciated is that the cloud of computing is not increasing business employment for the main street economy. For more bad news look at the results from the Associated Press analysis of employment data from 20 countries in, Can smart machines take your job? Middle class jobs increasingly being replaced by technology, which found that almost all the jobs disappearing are in industries that pay middle-class wages, ranging from $38,000 to $68,000. Jobs that form the backbone of the middle class in developed countries in Europe, North America and Asia. The article then goes on to cite that more information now crosses the Internet every second than the entire Internet stored 20 years ago. Other examples note that: Soon to come are pilotless airliners joining the several Japanese rail lines already run by themselves. Add the smart utility meter deployment and soon the employee reader, banished to a wax museum, becomes just another sign of so called progress. Missing in all this corporate excitement for slashing payroll is the indisputable fact that the general standard of living is dropping like a rock for the average family. Couple this deadly trend with the unnerving prospects forecast by Bob Lord in, Our First Trillionaire: Only a Matter of Time Technological development coupled with favorable political treatment is regularly the formula for massive accumulation of fortune. However, the horrendous social distortions that inexorably follow such distortions in income, much less the fact that the disappearance in living wage employment of the masses cannot be ignored without fundamental political upheaval. Once innovated technology of a Henry Ford raised the living standards and was a benefit for society. Todays objective is to remove or eliminate the middle class as the gap in meaningful employment widens. Added leisure time has no significance if spent playing games on an IPAD, while living off welfare government programs. Brynjolfsson and McAfees breakdown is a chilling look at a bleak future and the goodbye kiss to a populist beneficial economy.

2	What Spoiled Child Malia Got For Her 16th Birthday Has Americans Outraged We have all seen first-hand how entitled the Obama family can be, and it appears this attitude is being passed on to the first children. For Malias 16th birthday, Obama decided to splurge on a new car. Keep in mind she doesnt even have her license yet. Although many people are keeping silent on the issue, due in large part to the Obamas desire to keep their daughters out of the spotlight. Still, its hard to ignore the first daughters shiny new toy when DC law declares that you have to be at least 17 years old to have a license. The decision, like many as of late, seems to be irrational. What do you think? Why is Obama giving his daughter a car when she cant drive? 
2	Justice Served To Liberal Protesters After They Do THIS To The American Flag A Black Lives Matter demonstation was going on in Chicago when things got a little out of hand. A protester decided it would be a good idea to climb the flagpole outside of the police station and rip down the American flag. It was then replaced with a flag that said Unapologetically Black. Soon after, a police officer took down the flag. Dozens of protesters were arrested at the scene, and Old Glory was promptly replaced back to where it should be. Should it be a crime to disrespect the American flag? Comment below.

3	Ongoing: SC Sheriffs Dept Violates Posse Comitatus With Special Forces Joint DrillBy Brandon Turbeville On May 8, it was reported by WLTX that the Richland County Sheriffs Department will be conducting drills in conjunction with the 3rd Special Forces Group out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The exercises will take place at late-night and pre-dawn and will run from May 8 until May 15. Citizens have now been informed that Sheriffs Department and Military vehicles will be traveling in the Lower Richland County community near Eastover and Hopkins as well as Elgin near Screaming Eagle Road. The vehicles will also be traveling in the North Richland County area near Monticello Rd. The Sheriffs Department has announced that residents in these areas may hear explosives being detonated and ordinance being set off as well as shots being fired. Sheriff Leon Lott stated that the departments Special Response Team, a SWAT-like team formulation that is becoming ever popular in South Carolina Sheriffs Departments, with the 3rd Special Forces Group. Lott announced that the Sheriffs department will provide simulated scenarios for the military and added that Richland County an ideal location for training that cannot be replicated at Fort Bragg. There were no elaborations as to what these scenarios might be or what the training will involve. This is perhaps because the last time the Richland County Sheriffs Office conducted training with Special Forces, it was simulating and training to raid farm houses and engaging in domestic raids as well as to set up checkpoints and chopper insertion. See my article Local Police Train With Special Forces To Raid Farm Houses, Conduct Domestic Raids. It is worth nothing that the drills will be taking place in the exact same location as last years drills. With this in mind, and taking into consideration not only the increasing number of military and joint military/law enforcement drills taking place over recent years practicing the round up, disarming, and relocation of American citizens as well as the ongoing Jade Helm exercises taking place across the country, it is highly likely that these drills are of the same category. After all, the last time they were conducted, they apparently contained a number of these elements. The fact that the police and military are engaging in joint drill exercises in violation of Posse Comitatus and a long-standing American tradition of separation between domestic policing and military activity is concerning enough. However, if they are training for domestic operations such as raiding American farm houses, setting up domestic checkpoints, and conducting other related raids on the home-front should be terrifying to every single American that desires to keep what little shred of freedom they have left. Unfortunately, it has become abundantly clear that the American military and indeed the Richland County Sheriffs Department see the American people and the people of South Carolina as the enemy.

1	Utterly overwhelmed by the thought of the planets surface containing such an unfathomable amount of the natural course obstacles, pro golfer Bubba Watson expressed both shock and fear Friday upon learning that approximately two-thirds of Earth is covered in water hazards. Its actually disturbing to think about water hazards making up over 70 percent of the world, a wide-eyed Watson told reporters, noting with visible anxiety that the Pacific Ocean alone is over 60 million square miles of water hazard. Think about ityou can look out from the edge of the rough and see nothing but a huge water hazard for thousands and thousands of miles. And some of the water hazards are so deep that no golf balls have ever even sunk all the way to the bottom. God, its just staggering. Sources later confirmed that Watson was equally stunned after finding out that over 25 percent of the African continent is a single massive sand trap. 
3	Navy Enlists Public To See Something, Say Something If Drones Are Spotted Near BasesBy Joe Wright After kick starting a global drone arms race, the proliferation of drones in the United States all the way down to the hobby level is becoming a severe nuisance for the government. This has led to a range of proposed local legislation aiming to require owners to buy insurance, get license plates, and be subjected to GPS tracking in some cases. As it stands at the federal level, the FAA has in fact imposed mandatory drone registration, with the following guidelines stated on their website: Anyone who owns a small unmanned aircraft that weighs more than 0.55 lbs. (250g) and less than 55 lbs. (25kg) must register with the Federal Aviation Administrations UAS registry before they fly outdoors. People who do not register could face civil and criminal penalties. The owner must be: (Source) The civil and criminal penalties referred to above could be up to 3 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. If that doesnt seem like enough of an overreach, civil liberties advocates were outraged to learn that the registration information including very specific personal identifiers would be available online. Regardless, full tracking appears not to have gone into effect, based upon recent events at a naval base. The current concern is centered over Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor, located in Washington state, where military personnel have identified several unauthorized small drone flights in recent months. The first of these that was acknowledged publicly appears to have occurred in February, when Military.com reported that a drone was spotted near the base at night. According to a local resident who was subsequently interviewed by the military, the sighting raised particular concern: It could be a hoax, but worst-case scenario, it could be clandestine, a foreign government, a cell, [Al] Starcevich said. The creepy thing is theyre only doing it at night. What are you going to see at night unless you have an infrared camera? (Source) Since then, the sightings have continued to the point where the Navy put out a special message this past Friday after the most recent incident which enlists the public to take specific measures after a sighting: Please call the Regional Dispatch Center at 360-396-4444. Provide the operator with the following information: (Source) This might seem harmless, and even patriotic to some, but it really is no different than an airborne version of the citizen snitch program known as See Something, Say Something. History tends to show that anytime citizens are turned into the eyes and ears of the State, bad things follow. However, even that is not the most disturbing part of all this. The naval base in question is one of the most potentially lethal in the world. Again, from Military.com emphasis added: Bangor is home to eight of the Navys 14 ballistic-missile submarines. Each can carry up to 24 missiles with multiple nuclear warheads. And they need to put out a call to drone spotters from the local community to keep nuclear warheads safe?? Our tax dollars are truly well spent. Meanwhile, people continue to be charged with criminal mischief for downing drones over their own property. Whats more, a lot of drones are dangerous stories are breathlessly reported without confirmation. In fact, the drone that allegedly collided with a British Airways flight last month made headlines around the globe but turned out to be a rogue plastic bag. What is your opinion? Is it possible that the governments concern over hobby drones is just another example of imposing more order out of chaos in the name of National Security? Or perhaps even laying the groundwork for the next false flag? Hat tip: ZenGardner.com Joe Wrights articles can be found at selfnewsPost.com.

Total Information Awareness is a one way street. I live along the US Mexican border. Recently ultralights have become the preferred way of smuggling drugs, and I am now sure that drones will become the preference. Having lived and worked on Air Force bases where there were nuclear weapons, the biggest concern shouldnt be one of privacy or ratting out the hobbyist who illegally probes a secured, nuclear weapons site with a drone, but nuclear security, particularly when one considers the very potent threat of terrorists infiltrating a site where such weapons are stored. Consider the possible intent of either destroying this line of defense, or stealing the weapons to use on a destructive scale that is unimaginable. Hobby-based drones have already spawned lawsuits purporting to have been used as a means of violating another individuals privacy. And this is a valid concern. But what about a terrorist with the appropriate design skills to build a scaled model RC aircraft using one of the small, jet turbines now available? These miniature aircraft are extremely fast, almost completely invisible on radar and could be rigged to carry explosives or incendiary devices that could harm not only military personnel and civilians but put our national security at grave risk. Perhaps one of the more favorable characteristics of these multi-prop drones, is that their propellers are very noisy- like a swarm of giant bumble bees. They can be heard from a long way off. Have a look at the hobby as it exists today. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7-lUBm-Guw 
1	Just weeks after the centennial of the birth of pioneering minimalist playwright Samuel Beckett, archivists analyzing papers from his Paris estate uncovered a small stack of blank paper that scholars are calling 'the latest example of the late Irish-born writer's genius.' O'Donoghue shows off what could easily be the play's whimsically tragic opening scene. The 23 blank pages, which literary experts presume is a two-act play composed sometime between 1973 and 1975, are already being heralded as one of the most ambitious works by the Nobel Prize-winning author of Waiting For Godot, and a natural progression from his earlier works, including 1969's Breath, a 30-second play with no characters, and 1972's Not I, in which the only illuminated part of the stage is a floating mouth. 'In what was surely a conscious decision by Mr. Beckett, the white, uniform, non-ruled pages, which symbolize the starkness and emptiness of life, were left unbound, unmarked, and untouched,' said Trinity College professor of Irish literature Fintan O'Donoghue. 'And, as if to further exemplify the anonymity and facelessness of 20th-century man, they were found, of all places, between other sheets of paper.' 'I can only conclude that we have stumbled upon something quite remarkable,' O'Donoghue added. According to literary critic Eric Matheson, who praised the work for 'the bare-bones structure and bleak repetition of what can only be described as 'nothingness,'' the play represents somewhat of a departure from the works of Beckett's 'middle period.' But, he said, it 'might as well be Samuel Beckett at his finest.' 'It does feature certain classic Beckett elements, such as sparse stage directions, a mysterious quality of anonymity, a slow building of tension with no promise of relief, and an austere portrayal of the human condition,' Matheson said. 'But Beckett's traditional intimation of an unrelenting will to live, the possibility of escape from the vacuous indifference that surrounds usthat's missing. Were that his vision, I suspect he would have used perforated paper.' Scholars theorize that the 23-page play might have been intended to be titled Five Conversations, Entropolis, or Stop. In addition, an 81-page document, also blank, was found, which, for all intents and purposes, could be an earlier draft of the work. 'I suspect this was a nascent stream-of-consciousness attempt,' O'Donoghue said of the blank sheets of paper, which were found scattered among Beckett's personal effects and took a Beckett scholar four painstaking days to put into the correct order. 'In his final version, Beckett used his trademark style of 'paring down' to really get at the core of what he was trying to not say.' Some historians, however, contend that the play could have been the work of one of Beckett's protgs. 'Even though the central theme and wicked sense of humor of this piece would lead one to believe that this could conceivably be a vintage Beckett play, in reality, it could just as easily have been the product of [Beckett's close friend] Rick Cluchey,' biographer Neal Gleason said. 'And if it was Beckett, it's not outside the realm of possibility that, given his sharp wit, it was just intended as a joke. If Beckett were alive today, he might insist that it's not even a play at all. It could be a novella, or a screenplay.' Enthusiasts still maintain that the 'nuances, subtleties, and allusions to his previous works' are all unmistakably Beckett. They also claim to have found notes and ideas for this play in the margins of Beckett's earlier works. There are already plans to stage the play during the intermission of an upcoming production of Waiting For Godot. 
1	The life of Vincent Canby, the longtime New York Times senior film critic who died last week at 76, is being called 'an overlong, poorly paced mess' by filmmakers. 'Mr. Canby's life builds glacially, taking an excruciating 21,549,600 minutes to reach the part in which he finally begins writing for the Times,' said director Roland Joffe, whose 1986 film The Mission was panned by Canby as 'a singularly lumpy sort of movie.' 'The life then completely falls apart in its final third, with Canby retiring in the most anticlimactic manner possible before an inevitable death scene as awash in bathos as any you're likely to see.'

2	Chelsea Clinton Stops In Iowa To Campaign, Gets Instantly Humiliated Chelsea Clinton recently made an appearance at the Orpheum Theater, where she defended her motherto a crowd of 125 people. Not exactly the type of audience Donald Trump pulls in. According to reports, Chelsea Clinton told those in attendance that she doesnt want to live in a country with the demeaning speak that Trump allegedly brings to the table. None of that is the country that I want to live in and its certainly not the country that I want my children, our children, and our grandchildren to grow up in, Clinton commented. Looks like Clinton may need to pack up and leave the country. The average poll in Iowa shows Trump leading Hillary by 5% and outside the margin of error for the polls collectively. 
3	Thailand: Protesters to Refocus Movementselfnews Post The Shutdown Bangkok campaignwas designed to coordinate pressure on the regime of US-backed dictator Thaksin Shinawatra and his proxy political machine headed by his own sister, Yingluck Shinawatra. Elections held on February 2, 2014were successfully boycotted by over half the populationin an unprecedented display of unified national defiance by the Thai people. Since the elections, the regime has responded with an expanding campaign of armed terror that has left many dead, and many more horribly maimed, mainly from grenade attacks and gunfire launched by professional mercenaries, pro-regime thugs, and elements of the police loyal to the regime.Among the dead have been children. Image: Occupy Bangkok has exposed and hobbled the Wall Street-backed regime of Thaksin Shinawatra. With the February 2, 2014 sham-elections an abject failure, the campaign has been a success. The protest leaders are now consolidating stages into one single location from which they can concentrate their efforts to ease the Thaksin regime into permanent collapse. Consolidating Stages Before the city-spanning Shutdown Bangkok campaign began, there was a single demonstration site including two stages at and near Bangkoks Democracy Monument.It was announced yesterday eveningthat beginning on March 3, all of the stages that have been set up for Shutdown Bangkok will be consolidated once again, this time at Lumpini Park, near the Silom business district accessible by Lumpini MRT station and Sala Daeng BTS station. Security for a single site will also be easier to manage. In the wake of growing terrorism employed by the regime, and the regimes Western backers feigning ignorance over who is behind the escalating violence despite overt admissions from the regime and its supporters weeks ago published inthe US State Department-linked TIME Magazine. As Thailands anti-government protests enter their fourth day, observers say prospects for violent confrontation are increasing, with reports of government supporters stockpiling weapons in case of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatras ouster. According to the Bangkok Post, radical members of the Red Shirts diehard champions of Yingluck and her notorious brother Thaksin Shinawatra are readying a cache of arms in case the 46-year-old premier is forced from office by either military or judicial intervention. The paper quoted a Red Shirt source as saying There are strong anti-coup and anti-court sentiments among the red-shirt mavericks who are familiar and experienced with weapon use. Whats Next? For protest leaders, the next step is to simply wait for the regime to continue unraveling. It has lost vast amounts of support,even among rural rice farmerswho have turned against the regime in the wake of the disastrous rice subsidy program that have left thousands of farmers unpaid, destitute, and desperate, and the nations rice industry crumbling. For the protesters themselves, organizing smaller direct action committees to develop and implement local solutions addressing a wide range of issues, from education to economics, and even helping the victims of the regime including the farmers would be a good way to continue undermining the regime as well as move constructively toward a different paradigm beyond elections, corrupt politicians, and endless, futile political bickering. The regime is expected to continue employing violence and terrorism against growing dissent. It, along with its Western backers, have continuously peddled the narrative of a coming civil war. As pointed out many times before, this is not even remotely possible. Instead, the regime will use widespread terrorism and propaganda to appear as such, to make increasing violence appear to be a peoples movement rather than state-sanctioned brutality. Recently, the regimes deputy secretary-general to the prime minister and red-shirt leader Suporn Attawong claimed he was assembling a 600,000-strong pro-government Democracy Protection Volunteers Group, as reported by the Bangkok Posts article, Red shirt hardliner seeks 600,000 men. With the regime failing utterly to fill even a single stadium in Bangkok to counter massive and prolonged anti-regime protests, the prospect of assembling an able-bodied army of 600,000 men is slim to none. The regimes ludicrous posturing heralds increasingly desperate moves as it attempts to cling to power. However, the protests are growing, well led, determined, and highly motivated. Their patience and prudence has and will continue to work against the regime with the regimes attempts to strike back only expediting its fall.

1	SEATTLE (UPI)A hot recording by what listeners describe as a hip new alternative band was discovered yesterday by the staff of a local radio station, exciting numerous area music listeners. 'The new one-word, one-syllable band, known to its growing legions of fans as KISS, uses out-of-this- world make-up to parody rock's excess.', 'The devil guy' The recording in question, Double Platinum, by an unknown group identified only by the one-word, monosyllabic name KISS, was rushed to a nearby stereo where it underwent intense listening and scru-tiny by knowledgeable disc jockeys, many of whom have subscriptions to hip, al-ternative music magazines like Alternative Press, Spin, Op-tion and Rolling Stone. The recording was found by DJ Josh Negler while rummaging through K-ALTs vast library of recordings for his Alternative A.M. radio show. Negler, 27, has been an intense fan and expert on alternative rock for over 18 months. The CD player was down, so I had to find some vinyl, Negler says. I never thought Id uncover such an unknown treasure, which I knew was alternative right away, as soon as I saw the silvery reflective packaging. While none of the station staff was able to exactly categorize the new and innovative sound of the double-album set, it was described as heavy, kind of like Nine Inch Nails, with hard power-chord guitars like Pearl Jam and an almost industrial high-tempo rhythm like Tool or Filter. Songs such as Strutter, Deuce and Detroit Rock City were positively identified as alternative. Yeah, they dont sound anything like Hole, Beck, Bush, Spore, Sponge, Tad, Ride, Clutch, Scrawl, Slint, Schtum, Lync, Gren, Seam, Dis, Dig, Mule, Gaunt, Az, Hum or Pram, but the band does have a one word, monosyllabic, name like Hole, Beck, Bush, Spore, Sponge, Tad, Ride, Clutch, Scrawl, Slint, Schtum, Lync, Gren, Seam, Dis, Dig, Mule, Gaunt, Az, Hum and Pram, music writer Jordan Kohan says. So they gotta be alternative like Hole, Beck, Bush, Spore, Sponge, Tad, Ride, Clutch, Scrawl, Slint, Schtum, Lync, Gren, Seam, Dis, Dig, Mule, Gaunt, Az, Hum and Pram. So impressed was Negler with KISSs raw talent that he is considering asking KISS to play at the K-ALTs Punka-palooza 1996, an all-ages benefit that has highlighted the best in new and unsigned bands with one-word, monosyllabic names since 1993. Further evidence of KISSs alternative stature was offered by rock critic Howard Frankel, who points to the bands use of theatrics and costumes. Much like seminal no-wavers the Resi-dents and Devo, KISSs gestalt is a deconstructivist take on the extravagance and excess of rock and roll and the insanity of stardom, Frankel explains. By encompassing a per-sonae in the guise of the exact rock establishment they are mocking, via the use of absurd amplification and standard verse/chorus/verse arrangements, their worldview only be-comes more salient and biting. Furthermore, Frankel ex-plained that the bands choice of the antiquated vinyl format (or LP) gives the disc a retro sensibility matching the 70s nostalgia sound prevalent in many tracks. In fact, KISS has so marvelously captured the retro look and feel that one can almost imagine the record being released 20 years ago, Frankel says. Excitement escalated af-ter DJ Heather Luken stumbled across a series of solo recordings re-leased by the members of the banda pattern remarkably similar to a series of albums released by the Melvins, a seminal Seattle band in the late 80s. Ones by the star guy, anothers by the cat guy, anothers by the rock guy and anothers by that devil guy, Luken says. I like the cat guy. 
3	The Rational Market Mytharmageddon without nukes One of the myths of economics is that markets are rational. Theories are based on this assumption, and the belief that markets are rational fuels the argument against regulation. The market response to the Federal Reserves June 19 statement that it will taper off its bond purchases if its forecast comes true is unequivocal proof that markets are irrational. The Federal Reserves statement that it currently anticipates that it would be appropriate to moderate the monthly pace of purchases [of bonds] later this year depends on a very big if. The if is the correctness of the Feds forecast of moderate economic growth and employment gains. The Fed has not stopped purchasing $85 billion of bonds each month. So nothing real has changed. Indeed, there was no new information in the Feds statement. It has been known for some time that, according to the Fed, its bond purchases will gradually cease. In response to this repeat of old information, the stock and bond markets sold off in a major way on June 19-20. This market response to the Feds statement indicates that the Feds forecast is unlikely to come true. Low interest rates and a high stock market are totally dependent on the liquidity that the Fed is injecting by printing $1,000 billion per year. If this liquidity is not injected, what will sustain the markets? If the markets crash and interest rates rise, how can the Fed expect recovery? In other words, the participants in the stock and bond markets know that the markets are bubbles created by the printing press. There is no real basis for the high stock and bond prices. The prices are an artificial reality created by the printing press. Rational markets would take into account the printing press element and would price stocks and bonds at a much lower level. Zero real interest rates mean that there are no risks. But how can there be no risk in Treasury bonds when the debt is growing faster than the economy? I suspect that the reason the Fed made the announcement, which seems to be derailing the Feds forecast of recovery on which the announcement depends, is to relieve pressure on the US dollar. For several years the Fed has been printing 1,000 billion new dollars each year. There is no demand for these dollars. So far these dollars have inflated stock and bond prices instead of consumer prices. But the implication for the dollars price or exchange value in currency markets is clear. The supply is increasing faster than the demand. If the dollar falters, the Fed would lose control. Rising import prices would soon drive domestic inflation and interest rates far higher than the Feds targets. Washington has succeeded in getting Japan and the EU to print yen and euros in order to eliminate the likelihood of flight to other large currency alternatives to the dollar. Smaller countries have also had to print in order to protect their export markets. With so many countries printing money, the Feds statement implying that the US might stop printing makes the dollar look good, and, indeed, the dollar rose on the currency exchange markets. Having neutralized the alternative currency threat to the dollar, the Fed and its agents, the bullion banks, the banks too big to fail, are still at work against the gold and silver threats to the dollar. Massive short selling of gold began at the beginning of April. Again on June 20 massive shorts of gold were sold at a time of day chosen to maximize the price decline. Only those who intend to drive down the price would sell in this way. Since QE began, the Fed has deprived retirees of interest income and has forced retirees to spend down their capital in order to pay living expenses. Judging from the initial market response, the Feds latest policy announcement is adversely impacting bond, stock and real estate investors, and the manipulation of the bullion markets continues to wreak destruction on wealth stored in the only known safe haven. How can a recovery happen when the Fed is destroying wealth? The Feds irrational behavior could be seen as rational if the assumption is that the Feds intent is not to save the economy but to save the banks. As the Fed is committed to saving the banks too big to fail, it is likely that the banks know of the Feds announcements in advance. With inside information, the banks know precisely when to short the stock, bond, and bullion markets. The banks make billions from the inside information. The billions made help to restore the banks balance sheets. Guy Lawsons book, Octopus (2012), shows that front-running on the basis of inside information has always been the source of financial fortunes. In order to save the banks, the Fed now supplies the inside information. How is this going to play out? I suspect that the recovery, although officially a weak one, does not really exist. However, thanks to statistical artifacts that understate inflation and unemployment and overstate GDP growth, the Fed and the markets think that a recovery of sorts is in process and that the unprecedented money printing by the Fed will succeed in shifting the economy into high gear. No such thing is likely to happen. Instead, as 2013 progresses, a further downturn will become visible through the orchestrated statistics. This time the Fed will have to get the printed money past the banks and into the economy, and inflation will explode. The dollar will collapse, and import pricesas globalism has turned the US into an import-dependent economywill turn high inflation into hyperinflation. Disruptions in food and energy deliveries will become widespread, and a depreciated currency will cease to be used as a means of exchange. I wouldnt bet my life on this prediction, but I think it is as likely as the Feds prediction of a full recovery that allows the Fed to terminate its bond purchases and money printing by June 2014. Americans, who have been on top of the world since the late 1940s, are not prepared for the adjustments that they are likely to have to make. And neither is their government.

What is not being acknowledged is the fact that black Americans are not the only ones facing discrimination and violence. In 2001, the race riots in Cincinnati resulted in the death of 100 white people. African Americans and members of the Black Panther party stormed the street and pulled white men and women out of their cars to beat them. The actions were done in the name of a black man who was shot by a white police officer. 14 years later, were seeing history repeat itself. What do you think? Does the media need to stop telling a one-sided story when it comes to race in America? 
1	National Hockey League commissioner Gary Bettman announced yesterday that the NHL has offered actor/comedian Will Ferrell $350 to write, direct, and star in a sports comedy about the game of hockey. 'We deliberated long and hard about spending our entire promotions budget on a single venture, but I think investing in Mr. Ferrell is a wise choice,' Bettman told reporters, adding that an 80-minute Will Ferrell hockey movie can give the league more visibility than an 82-game season ever could. 'If Mr. Ferrell chooses to take on this project, he will have complete creative control and all the league's resources at his disposalzambonis, hockey sticks, Wayne Gretzkywhatever he needs to make a funny movie about hockey. The movie doesn't even necessarily have to be about hockey, just so long as there is some hockey in it.' Former Saturday Night Live cast member Ferrell reportedly made $20 million for his last film. 
2	US Marine With No Legs DESTROYS Colin Kaepernick... Leaves Him Speechless This week, 49ers Quarterback Colin Kaepernick made headlines when he refused to stand for the National Anthem at a preseason game with the Green Bay Packers. Instead of honoring our country and those who fight to protect our freedoms, Kaepernick decided to give a half-hearted nod to the Black Lives Matter movement. Kaepernick sparked outrage when he claimed he was not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. Kaepernick argued that there were people in the streets and cops getting away with murder. This is coming from an $126 million player who claims he is oppressed. Kaepernicks position was quickly brought into perspective when someone posted a photograph of a U.S. Marine standing proudly, as tall as he could from his wheel chair. This powerful image says more than Kaepernicks ridiculous attempt ever will. Do you agree? 
2	Welfare Leeches In THIS State Just Got Some Devastating News According to recent reports, Massachusetts just took some major steps to prevent welfare fraud by implementing a pilot program that will use fingerprints and other biometric identifiers to verify recipients. The initiative was sparked by Republican Brad Jones in an effort to save the states millions of dollars by stopping people from collecting benefits they dont deserve. Welfare fraud in Massachusetts has been at an all-time high. A recent audit revealed that millions of dollars have been given in questionable benefits. In fact, some checks have been cut to deceased people. More than $2.39 million was distributed to recipients for more than six to 27 months after they died. Welfare fraud isnt a small crime. It holds a sentence of 10 years of prison and requires a repayment of all fraudulent benefits. A lot of people need it and some people take advantage, Evelyn Valley 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 new measure? 
2	Trey Gowdy Just Found Evidence That Is Actually Going To Put Comey Away For Good Congressman Trey Gowdy is clearly tired of watching top-ranking government officials like Hillary Clinton get away with criminal behavior. And hes determined to make a change. On Sunday, he held another hearing, questioning FBI Director James Comey. I have seen the get-out-of-jail-free cards, Gowdy commented. What I dont see is the jail. Usually you strike immunity to further a prosecution. There is no prosecution. Its just five get-out-of-jail-free cards. In a recent hearing, Comey was quick to shoot down accusations against the government agency. You can call us wrong, but dont call us weasels, he argued. We are not weasels. We are honest people andwhether or not you agree with the result, this was done the way you want it to be done. Michael Reagan, son of Former President Ronald Reagan, provided the public with some insight as to what happens when top-ranking intelligence officials lie on the record. His career, for all intents and purposes, hes put the bad or black mark on it, Reagan argued. Hes lost a lot of support within the FBI, both from those who are retired and those inside, and I would not be surprised if youre going to see some retirements at the highest level of the FBI going forward to show their disgust with Comey. What do you think? Is Comeys career on the line? 
2	Pope Francis Attacks Welfare Abusers: They Shouldnt Eat Pope Francis has caused quite the stir after he praised the value of hard work, and criticized those who refuse to do their part and instead choose to freeload off society. Francis cited Saint Paul, claiming anyone unwilling to work should not eat adding that being called a hard worker is the utmost compliment for any serious, honest person. Work is needed to support ones family, raise children and ensure a decent life to loved ones, Francis claimed, arguing that the habit of hard work is learned in the home. Children with parents who contribute to the common good will be the best off, he argued. A lack of work is bad for the spirit, Francis went on, claiming that work expresses the dignity of being created in the image of God. That is why it is said that work is sacred. What do you think of Francis arguments? 
1	During his final day of work at R&C Media on Friday, consultant Carlton Davies told coworkers it was 'an honor' to have worked with such a gifted and talented group of people, even though he's spent the past two weeks literally counting the hours until he could get the fuck out of there and never, ever come back. 'I've learned so much from each and every one of you,' said Davies, who for six months has told family and friends he's been 'dying to leave that shithole of a company' and who, at exactly 5 p.m., peeled out of the office parking lot as the Kings song 'Switching To Glide' blared from his car stereo. 'It's truly been an honor.' While eating a piece of goodbye cake in the office break room, Davies' boss Laura Marcus described his departure as an immense loss for the company, knowing full well she would replace him with an intern who would do the same work at half the cost. 
1	Upon receiving his second straight MVP award on Monday, Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash accused the NBA of 'being out to make a fool of [him].' 'Listen, it was kind of funny the first time. I mean, I can take a joke. My family was quite embarrassed, but that's beside the point,' Nash told those gathered at the ceremony. 'But this is just getting ridiculous. Look, I get itI'm short, white, and Canadian. Ha ha, real fuckin' funny. You sick bastards. Did Amare Stoudemire put you up to this?' When asked about the chances of him winning a third MVP award in as many years, Nash emitted a terse laugh while glaring at the reporters and drumming his fingers on the podium.

3	Marked: Schools Assess Students Threat Level From Kindergarten Up in PreCrime SocietyBy Mac Slavo By now, everybody knows that the NSA and a host of other alphabet agencies are spying on Americans, collecting virtually every piece of communications data they exchange, regardless of whether or not they are doing anything wrong. But what are they doing with it? Apart from its value in consumer and marketing fields, the data is used to create threat assessments and put a black mark on the record of anyone who the authorities deem troublesome that will follow them throughout their career, and make it harder for individuals to get a job, qualify for a loan, travel, or enjoy the rights of a (now once) free society. MassPrivateI reports: [] Every student is given a THREAT ASSESSMENT by police and school administrators! Schools and police are using V-STAG to assess a threat level: The war on terror is out of control! Watch out that kindergarten kid could be a threat! This program and others like it have been developed at the federal level, with FBI involvement, and coordinated across local, state and private organizations. The idea, unfortunately, is to implement this watch-and-flag surveillance grid across the system at every level, and with every institution that people must participate in. Hey, if it works for prisoners, it would be great for a once free society. The intent of schools to nurture children and help them to learn and grow into responsible adults has been subverted by an intrusive and paranoid surveillance system that considers every mistake to be a warning of crimes and misdeeds to come. And by treating everyone as a criminal before they even do anything, it probably creates a self-fulfilling prophecy. The Safe School Initiative was implemented through the Secret Services National Threat Assessment Center and the Department of Educations Safe and Drug-Free Schools Program. Every student is being PROFILED and given a risk assessment rating, according to the Secret Services article titled Evaluating Risk For Targeted Violence In Schools: Comparing Risk Assessment, Threat Assessment and Other Approaches. Whats really being said is police and school administrators can put your kid(s) into mental health counseling which will follow them throughout their adult lives! Oddly there isnt any mention of the school-to-prison pipeline! Meanwhile, this system is designed to expand throughout a students life and merge with other emerging threat assessment systems that follow adults in the general population as well. This training will address the critical intersection between compliance with federal laws to address sexual and intimate partner violence, and the role that threat assessment can play in effectively addressing these issues. In adulthood, police departments and private employers are now also using threat assessment scores to profile and target against individuals who have raised red flags. Think its just those have committed crimes and demonstrated what bad people they can be? Think again. Dissidents, outspoken critics, competitors and opponents will all get flagged as the system is abused by its controllers and used to hammer down any nail that dares to stick up. This system will create a society of compliance and fearful people, not a free society free of crime and trouble. Whether or not this system can actually prevent crime remains unproven, but its ability to tarnish the record of individuals and place entire populations under preemptive suspicion is certainand likely dangerous. You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com. inflict a battery of 184 poisonous vaccine injections, mix with hearty multi-year doses of psychotropic drugs and mind-numbing Common Core mumbo jumbo.and computer monitoring of what each kid eats of their government lunches, etc. how could anything possibly go wrong with this picture? The Government knows that, and will be right on top of any ripples amongst the benighted young sheeple. Parents really have their work cut out for them here, and they will be rewarded by a CPS/Homeland Security visit from which the kids will be kidnaped into a life of rape and other nightmares. The classroom to prison pipeline is set up to enslave and profit off of even more Americans. Just bypass school and check your children into jails, thats what the slave owners in government want. Joe Namath was voted by his teachers to be the most likely to fail. For those who lord their degrees just remember that Doctors kill an approximate 280,000 a year by medical malpractice, they main another 800,000 and they prescribe the wrong psychiatric medicines to another 500,000 who commit suicides. Yet liberals complain about 13,480 deaths by gun violence. Meanwhile deaths by drunken driving have been surpassed by deaths caused by cell phone use while driving. At what point in all of this assessment should any of us place their values above out own? When has the government or the school board proven themselves lately? Kill, kill, kill! Die, die, die! I guess Im a threat. OMG! I have awakened on the wrong planet!! Stop the world I want to get off!! Threat Level Indicators: Green Docile citizen/ easy to manipulate 
2	Trump Leaks Huge Secret About Hillary Her Campaign Is Over Hillary has been caught lying and believing in most ridiculous things. However, this secret is one for the record books. Trump recently brought to attention something Hillary once said. And she admits to the claim. He told the world that she believes in aliens. She even said she wonders what process those aliens use to elect their officials. This is absurd. After all the media criticism of Trump and Carson recently, Hillary is getting it the worst. Twitter has been absolutely destroying her over the past few days. Hillary is sick in the mind. She is not fit to be president. Should Hillary be sent to prison for her past crimes so that she is taken out of the running for president? 
3	The Extravagant Hypocrisy of Obamas Foreign Policy MandarinsJames F. Tracy The documents overall thesis is that US resources must be directed at correcting the humanitarian situation (p. 11) in Syria by concentrating on the defeat of ISIS with the removal of Assad as a more long term U.S. objective (p. 3). A cunning piece of propaganda, the papers faulty reasoning is exceeded only by its blatant manipulation of recent history, both of which serve to support the larger geopolitical objective of replacing the moderate, democratically-elected Bashar Al Assad government with an entity more responsive to Western decrees. The Obama administrations policy is that President Assad must go, the document concludes, and there is good reason for it. There is no question that Assad is largely responsible for the bloodshed and hardship that his people have endured over the past three years, as repression sparked the first uprising and then degenerated into a vicious civil war. He has committed war crimes, including the use of chemical weapons on his own people, and created the largest refugee crisis in the history of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (p. 33). In reality, the Syrian people have experienced relentless and brutal assault by US, Saudi, and Qatari-backed paramilitary death squads since early 2011. With this in mind, it is perhaps fitting that the Center for American Progress policy analysts were joined at their September 12 presentation by none other than Robert Stephen Ford. Ford served as US ambassador to Damascus from 2011 to 2014 and is presently a Senior Fellow at the Middle East Institute. As Reagan administration emissary to Honduras in the early 1980s, Negroponte orchestrated the Contra-led cross border death squad incursions into neighboring Nicaragua that resulted in the deaths of 50,000. He was thus the Bush administrations logical choice to oversee the brutal death squad option introduced in Iraq during that countrys US occupation. played a key role in implementing the Pentagons Iraq Salvador Option. The latter consisted in supporting Iraqi death squads and paramilitary forces modeled on the experience of Central America. Perhaps unsurprisingly, none of the journalists gathered at the September 12 event saw fit to call Ford out on his earlier roles alongside Negroponte in Iraq, or as US ambassador to Syria in the immediate prelude to the latter countrys dislocation. The Center for American Progress Supporting the Syrian Opposition, coupled with its rollout in the company of the principal architect behind Syrias strategic destabilization, is emblematic of the deception, hypocrisy, and contempt the Obama administration and its immediate predecessor approach the American public with. Much like what is routinely presented by US officials as well-conceived procedures, the reports main purpose is to provide a scholarly and humanitarian gloss to what, if truth be told, is a murderous, destructive, and anti-democratic foreign policy requiring forthright propaganda and subterfuge to appear halfway palatable.

2	They Stepped Out Onto The Dance Floor, But Watch Very Closely What Happened Next We would be hard-pressed to pick a song more fitting for President Donald Trump than Frank Sinatras iconic My Way. Trump chose the song for his first dance with First Lady Melania Trump. After a remarkable day, that included a swearing-in ceremony, lunch with lawmakers, parade and several executive orders, President Obama wrapped up his Inauguration by dancing with Melania at three inaugural balls. Melania looked absolutely stunning in an ivory Herve Pierre gown. While Erin Boheme, Nickie Conley and Jason Eskridge performed the song, the president sang along to the lyrics, mouthing, I did it my way. Later, Vice President Mike Pence and his wife Karen joined the first couple on stage, followed by their adult children. Finally, the first couple ended their evening by dropping by the Liberty and Freedom Balls at the Washington Convention Center, where President Trump danced with Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Catherine Campbell. Melania danced with Army Staff Sgt Jose A. Medina. What do you think of Trumps song choice? 
2	BREAKING: Obama Moves To Suspend Election In Order To Save Hillary Chances Last Friday, the Clinton campaign was hit with a major bombshell with FBI Director James Comey announced he would be reopening the investigation into Hillary Clintons use of a personal email server as Secretary of State. Now, rumors are circulating that the Democratic presidential nominee is considering dropping out of the race. Others are speculating that Barack Obama will suspend the election until Americans have more information. Reports indicate Clinton may be forced out of the race if the FBI is able to find something fast enough. That would force Democrats to pick a new candidate, and would push back the election accordingly. USA News reported that Akhil Reed Amar, a Yale Law School professor, deemed Obama delaying the election until January 20 as a real possibility. If that were to happen, the Speaker of the House could serve as president until an election could pick a real president for the remainder of the term. With Clinton promising to further Obamas agenda, we wouldnt put it past him to try to delay the election for as long as possible. He has already demonstrated his desperation to keep Donald Trum out of the White House. What do you think? Is this terrible news for the American people? 
3	Explosive: Monsanto Knowingly Poisoned Workers Causing Devastating Birth DefectsAnthony Gucciardi The farmers are now suing not only Monsanto on behalf of their children, but many big tobacco giants as well. The birth defects that the farmers say occurred as a result are many, and includecerebral palsy, Down syndrome,psychomotor retardation, missing fingers, and blindness. The farmers come from small family-owned farms inMisiones Province and sell their tobacco to many United States distributors. The family farmers say that major tobacco companies like thePhilip Morris company asked them to use Monsantos herbicides and pesticides, assuring them that the products were safe. Through asserting that the toxic chemicals were safe, the farmers state in their claim that the tobacco companies wrongfully caused the parental and infant plaintiffs to be exposed to those chemicals and substances which they both knew, or should have known, would cause the infant offspring of the parental plaintiffs to be born with devastating birth defects. The majority of the farmers in the area used Monsantos Roundup, an herbicide with the active ingredientglyphosate that has shown to be killing human kidney cells. Whats more, the farmers say that the tobacco companies pushed Monsantos Roundup on the farmers despite a lack of protective equipment. Most shocking, the farmers were ordered to discard leftover herbicides and pesticides in locations in which they leached directly into the water supply. With Monsantos Roundup already known to be contaminating the groundwater, this comes as a serious threat to pure water supplies. The farmers end their landmark case with an explanation as to why the tobacco companies allowed Monsantos herbicides and pesticides to be unloaded on the small family farms in such vastquantitiesand purchased in excessive amounts. In their claim, the farmers state that the tobacco companies were motivated by a desire for unwarranted economic gain and profit, with zero regard for the farmers and their infant children many of which are now suffering from severe birth defects from Monsantos products.

1	Former relief pitcher Rich 'Goose' Gossage was admitted into the Baseball Hall of Fame Sunday after correctly answering the requisite three baseball history questions, ranging from 'Which major-league player broke the MLB's color barrier?' to 'Yankee Stadium was nicknamed 'The House That Ruth Built' in honor of which Yankee slugger?' 'I got lucky with this year's questions,' said Gossage, who in 2002 came within one correct answer of making it into the Hall of Fame only to incorrectly guess 'Rickey Henderson' on his final question. 'The first two answers that year were Rickey Henderson, so I just assumed the last one would be, too. They like to play mind games with you, which is why I was hesitant to answer 'Goose Gossage' on the final question this year.' Mark McGwire once again failed to make it into Cooperstown after failing to name every major-league player born in Iowa. 
1	With muttered chants of Do you like The Hunger Games? Im friends with your dad from work, and Cool backpack, the nations pedophiles marched Monday upon Washington, D.C. grammar school Heatherton Elementary. The march, which consisted of over one million pedophiles from across the nation who approached the school in hooded jackets, sidled up in late-90s-model sedans, and peered out from trees adjacent to the schools playground, reportedly began at 7:15 a.m., at which time a diverse crowd of child-lovers began creeping up on the nations capital from all sides. Look, were just going for a stroll, okay? Were allowed to be here, a semi-balding man wearing sunglasses and dressed in an Arizona State sweatshirt told reporters, glancing furtively in both directions. I dont see any harm in that. If you want me to go, Ill go, the man added, rolling up a Captain America comic book and putting it into his L.L. Bean backpack. No problem here, all right? Discreetly waving king-size candy bars, foil packs of Yu-Gi-Oh! trading cards, and Nintendo DS systems, the pedophiles reportedly made their way toward the school along a route that passed by several landmarks highly significant to their community, pausing at the parking lot of a local Toys R Us, the house of third-grader Jimmy Hatchell, and the National Zoo. The group arrived at Heatherton Elementary on schedule at 11:35 a.m., when students at the school are let out for recess. Many of the pedophiles proceeded to gather by a chain-link fence to leer at an ongoing game of freeze tag. Im just out for some fresh air, one pedophile told reporters, burying his face in a newspaper as a police car rolled past. I needed to get out of the house, you know? Beautiful in D.C. this time of year, he added. When asked for their demands, the majority of pederasts cagily wiped sweat from their foreheads, while some said their nephewuh, sure, [their] nephew goes to this school. Many issued no statement and darted away from reporters immediately after being questioned. One individual flatly stated, I want to have sex with a child. Were basically just out here to enjoy a pleasant morning walkthats all, stuttered a Michigan-area pedophile as he peeked through a cypress bush to watch a group of 7-year-old boys wrestling in a pile of leaves. Angels. Just absolutely darling little angels. Hey, did you write that down? continued the man before abruptly pausing, noticing that he was being recorded, and then scurrying back in the opposite direction. Though the pedophiles faced significant opposition from school chaperones, teachers, and court orders, the marchers nonetheless persevered, with nearly 3,000 individuals working up the courage to take a few steps past the fence surrounding the playground while uttering cries of Now those are some cool light-up shoes! and How would you like to come over to my house and meet Spider-Man? Its public propertywere not doing anything illegal, said the coalitions apparent leader, a man in a black tracksuit who had positioned himself exactly 500 feet away from the school. Im just a regular guy: I like sleepovers, cool video games, ice cream parlors, andhey, listen, whatever youre thinking about me, youre wrong. Though the gathering was largely peaceful, sources confirmed one minor incident in which a fourth-grader sent a dodge ball careening into the woods where over 300,000 pedophiles had assembled. The sexual predators reportedly suffered some minor injuries as they hurried into the underbrush and got cut up pretty bad by burrs in order to avoid confrontation with an approaching teacher. 
2	15 Year Old Boy Stabbed To Death By Muslim Refugee For Protecting Young Girl From Sex Attack According to recent reports, the Swedish media has been working to censor the murder of a student by a Muslim refugee. Reports indicate that a Lithuanian student, Arminas Pileckas, was murdered during the first day back at school by a Syrian refugee, after being bullied the previous semester. It is believed that this was a pre-meditated murder, and that he had been planning and researching the attack since last fall, when the victim had intervened during the assault of a female classmate. Of course, the victims father expressed his outrage that he had not been approached for interviews by the Swedish press following the death of his son. Meanwhile, the media was knocking down the door to interview the father of the killer. Everything is being kept hidden, the victims father commented on the Swedish media. The murder is being practically ignored across the rest of Europe, Pileckas added. And when it is being covered, it is being told from a sympathetic viewpoint of the father of the murderer. He was hard-working, cheerful and had a lot of Swedish friends, Pileckas has said, discounting rumors of bullying. All loved himthe Swedish press writes that Arminas assaulted the student, but that is not the caseour son saw that boy take the girl. He stopped him and they got into a fight. What do you think of the claims? 
2	Bernie Sanders Turns On Obama, Calls For Justice Dept. To Take Him Down For THIS Bernie Sanders is clearly out of his mind, proposing a Socialist America in his platform. However, whats even crazier is the fact that he has just turned on Obama, and he doesnt even seem to realize it. Recently, Sanders sent out a tweet targeting those who knew about the contaminated water crisis in Michigan, but didnt do anything about it. Gov. Snyder must resign immediately and the Justice Department must hold everyone accountable who knew about this crisis and did nothing. It seems that Sanders doesnt even realize that Obama has been aware of this for months before it was brought to light. So he is either asking for the takedown of Obama, or is uninformed. The latter is unacceptable for a presidential candidate. Do you think Obama is guilty and should be held accountable by the Justice Dept?

2	Female Students Forced To Wear Burqas For Ridiculous Reason According to recent reports, an online public school curriculum called CSCOPE has come under criticism for allegedly having Islamic and anti-American bias. CSCOPE is a curriculum management system that is used in 80 percent of Texas classrooms. There have been reports of multiple lessons that reveal a strong pro-Islamic agenda, although representatives of the program are commenting that content has been taken out of context. In other interviews, they have claimed that lessons have since been taken down. Still, one source reports that in Lumberton, Texas, a group of high school girls were forced to wear burqas as part of a study of Islam. One student even quoted her teacher as saying we are going to work to change your perception of Islam. Reportedly, the lesson ended with students writing a paper about Egypt. One student described the assignment as being asked to demonstrate how Egypt was a good country until democracy took over, and that things were finally corrected when the Muslim Brotherhood came into power. What do you think of these reports? Would you let your student write this paper?

1	A first date that 'actually seemed to be going pretty well' came to a screeching halt Saturday, when area resident Kyle Richman stepped into Melinda Tulle's Christ-packed apartment. The apartment which ended Richman's date 'in about two seconds flat.' 'Immediately upon walking into the living room, I spotted that framed Last Supper hanging above the couch,' said Richman, 32, speaking from the safety of his own non-Jesus-themed apartment. 'It took me about half a second to realize that it just wasn't going to happen for the two of us.' Richman expressed regret that the evening turned sour, but also relief that he 'found out when [he] did.' 'It was only our first date, but I'd been thinking I might have actually found someone nice for a change,' Richman said. 'But when I saw all those Jesus eyes staring down at me, I realized I'd made a mistakea big mistake.' Among the other Christian decorative items Richman encountered were rosary beads, a St. Peter statuette, several glass angels arranged on an end table, and a gruesomely detailed Christ-on-the-crucifix painting casually placed above the television. Excusing himself to the bathroom to collect his thoughts, Richman found a Virgin Mary night light and a heavily highlighted book titled Living Your Faith. 'The book sealed it,' Richman said. 'She wasn't just a Christian; she was one who actually 'lived her faith.' There was no way to make it work between us.' Just minutes prior, an excited Richman had been driving Tulle home as the two energetically discussed music. Melinda Tulle inside St. Bernard's Catholic Church, which she is obviously way into. 'All of Melinda's favorite bands were ones I'd never even heard ofFootprints, Garden's Edge, Everybodyduck, Concrete Jesusso I figured they must be some of those alternative bands I don't know anything about,' Richman said. 'When she asked me if I wanted to stop up to her apartment and borrow some CDs, I said sure. I was like, wow, this date must be going even better than I thought if she's asking me up to her place.' Even after seeing the Jesus-laden apartment, Richman said he still clung to the faint hope that the religious items belonged to a roommate. Tulle confirmed, however, that the Jesus stuff did belong to her and was not there for any kitsch value. 'My faith is very important to me,' Tulle told Richman. 'It makes me feel at home to know the Lord's presence is near. Please, sit down. I'll get you something to drink.' Said Richman: 'I honestly never saw it coming. I mean, she was wearing a cross around her neck, but I figured it didn't mean much. Lots of Christians wear those, not just Christian Christians.' The pair met on Mar. 12 when Tulle came into the Eastgate Mall B. Dalton where Richman works to buy a book for her niece. The purchase led to a brief conversation between Richman and Tulle about their own favorite childhood books, and he asked her out to dinner. Richman reported that the date began well. He and Tulle enjoyed dinner at a local Italian restaurant, enthusiastically discussing their shared love of dogs, camping, and The Wizard Of Oz, and then stopped by a nearby ice-cream shop for sundaes. 'It was going great: She was laughing at all my jokes and said I had 'wonderfully deep' eyes,' Richman said. 'At one point, I suggested that we go to a dance bar, but she said she didn't really like dancing. Now I see it's probably not so much that she doesn't like dancing but is against dancing. And when she said most movies and TV shows are awful these days, she didn't mean lame or dumb, but sinful.' The evening ended approximately 10 minutes after Richman entered the apartment, when Tulle mentioned she was going to church the following morning. 'Before she could get a chance to invite me, I said I thought I left my car door unlocked and got the hell out of there,' Richman said. 'The worst part is, I can't even just avoid her because I have all these CDs I have to return. Christ.' 
1	Actress Bianca Astor, 22, was excited to be cast in the role of a woman who suffers from anorexia nervosa for a filmed public-service announcement Monday. Astor at a recent casting call. 'I can't believe it!' Astor said upon receiving the call from her agent. 'I honestly didn't think I was going to get the part. I'm pretty thin, but I didn't think I was eating-disorder thin. I guess I am!' The spot for the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders is part of a campaign designed to raise the public's awareness of eating disorders. According to ANAD statistics, 1 in 100 adolescent girls suffers from anorexia. 'The cool thing is that I'll be helping to make a difference,' Astor said. 'Besides appearing in the TV ads, I'll also be on billboards and the sides of buses. Everyone in the country will see me as the super-skinny girl.' 'This will look really good on my rsum,' Astor added. 'I tried to pick glossies that were flattering, but this will definitely help drive home the point that I can play thin.' Astor has struggled to get her acting career off the ground ever since she moved to New York four years ago. She has modeled sporadically and worked as an extra on several daytime soap operas, and also appeared in two commercials, portraying Smiling Woman #4 in a Gap ad and a fungicidal-cream user for Lamisil. The anorexia spot marks her first starring role and the first to highlight her extreme boniness. 'I was really nervous when I went in for the audition,' Astor said. 'When I got to the waiting room, I thought, 'I'll never be able to compete with all these girls.' I was checking out their hips, and mine were definitely wider than a couple women's. But I guess that in the end, I was the one with the right combination of talent and physique.' Astor said she doesn't suffer from an eating disorder, but is lucky enough to have been born with a slight build. 'I've just always been thin, ever since junior high,' Astor said. 'I'm blessed with a fast metabolism. Plus, I work out at the gym for three hours a day. And I'm careful to watch what I eat. And I dye my hair because my agent said it makes my face look more defined.' Astor's agent, Allied Arts' Debra Fayhill, said she's proud of her 5'8', 101-pound client. 'I'm so excited for her,' Fayhill said. 'I called her up and told her that the producers thought she was perfect for the role of Gretchen, the wholesome 20-ish woman who's starving herself to death. I've never heard anyone scream so loud.' Continued Fayhill: 'Not many actresses get a chance to have this sort of impact on young girls. Hopefully, she'll really make a big difference in girls' lives, and stick in casting agents' minds when they need a beautiful, hollow-eyed wraith.' Although few PSA actresses have gone on to great success, Fayhill said she is optimistic. 'Look at Rachael Leigh Cook,' Fayhill said. 'She starred in the 1998 'Frying Pan' anti-drug spot from Margeotes, Fertitta + Partners, and she went on to play skinny women in the movies. Bianca is on the same track.' Astor is already practicing her line for the role. According to the script, her ad will open with a close-up on a 'frail, emaciated hand.' The hand will reach across a restaurant table toward a piece of bread. The camera will pull out to reveal Gretchen sitting in a restaurant with a friend. Gretchen will change her mind and drop the piece of bread. The friend will ask what's wrong, and Gretchen will say, 'Nothing.' The word will echo eerily as the scene fades out to reveal a grave. 'Emaciated,' Astor said, smiling and examining her hand held at arm's length. After she was selected for the role, Astor called her friends to celebrate with a night on the town. 'Bianca was all, 'Do you really think I'm thin enough to play an anorexic?'' friend Fiona Lin said. 'All of us kept saying 'Yes, totally.' She shouldn't doubt herself. She looks fantastic. Out of all of us, she so has the most visible rib cage.' Not all of Astor's friends say she's thin enough for the part. 'Bianca's thinner than most of us, but she's not very proportional,' friend and fellow actress Tia Rialto said. 'Personally, I'd buy her as a bulimic, but never an anorexic. Have you seen the flab under that girl's arms? Ugh.' 
1	Gil Woller, a marketing manager at Hartley Automated Systems, expressed bafflement Monday upon discovering the message 'Gazebo Convoresolve/Tues (!?)' in the June 22 space in his daily planner. Woller sits near the cryptic-note-bearing planner. 'I was flipping through my planner for a phone number I wrote down a while back, and this mysterious gazebo-convo-Tuesday message turned up,' the 42-year-old Woller said. 'I had absolutely no clue what it meant. I scanned the next several Tuesdays to see if there were any notes regarding the resolution of a gazebo convowhatever that isbut there was nothing. I haven't been able to think about anything else since.' Woller, who has no regular contact with gazebos, either professionally or personally, said he has read the message aloud countless times, hoping that doing so might jog his memory. 'Convo... convo...,' Woller said. 'Conversation? Convention? Convocation? Convoy? It's got to be convention. But I haven't been at a convention since last fall, and it had nothing to do with gazebos.' Woller's confusion and dismay over the note has been exacerbated by the presence of a small, unchecked box beside it, suggesting that the task, whatever it is, remains uncompleted. 'Somewhere, a gazebo convo happened that I missed or am going to miss,' Woller said. 'I could kick myself, if only I knew what I need to kick myself for.' Directly adjacent to the note, in the page's margin, is a small doodle of a fish and a series of interconnected diamonds. Woller said he has carefully analyzed the drawings for clues that may help him solve the riddle. 'The fish leads me to believe that the gazebo could be near a lake or river. Or possibly a seafood restaurant,' Woller said. 'Or it could just be a random doodle. I don't know.' After a frustrating day in which he completed little work, Woller continued his investigation at home Monday evening. 'I asked my wife Judy if she knew anything about a gazebo,' Woller said. 'She said she recalled sitting in one two summers ago when we took the kids to that resort in the Poconos. But then she thought about it a little more and said it was actually more of a screened-in porch. Either way, I doubt that's got anything to do with this.' According to noted therapist Dr. Eli Wasserbaum, Woller's obsession with the cryptic gazebo-convo message is understandable. 'It is only natural that something like this would cause Gil to experience a great deal of cognitive dissonance,' Wasserbaum said. 'We all need to feel like the things we do in life have a purpose and aren't merely a series of empty, forgettable exercises devoid of cause or effect. But how can a person feel a sense of purpose when he doesn't even know what he did?' Bolting awake at 4 a.m. Tuesday, Woller theorized that 'Gazebo' could be the name of a business and resolved to pore over the yellow pages first thing in the morning. 
2	Everyone Who Changed Their Facebook Profile Picture To Rainbows Just Got DUPED Following the legalization of gay marriage and the beginning of pride weekend, many liberal social media users decided to change their Facebook profile picture to include a rainbow filter. Now, its been revealed that this little feature may have actually been a form of psychological testing used to analyze users. The Celebrate Pride tool may have been a quick way to reveal some serious information. This is probably a Facebook experiment! MIT network scientist Cesar Hidalgo wrote on Facebook after changing his picture. The question is, how long will it take for people to change their profile pictures back to normal. Using the filtering tool, Facebook was able to get insight on how to best influence their users in mass. This was not the first time the social network has used a system like this. In 2013, they published a study for which they asked users to change their profile picture to a red equals sign. Of course, Facebook is denying claims that this is anything beyond a declaration of support for the gay community. One spokesman commented that the tool is not an experiment or testeveryone sees the same thing. Its extremely understandable that many people are upset that their behavior may have been manipulated for purely scientific purposes without their consent, behavioral scientist Suzy Moat told reporters, although she acknowledged that many businesses conduct research on how to influence human behavior. What do you think? Was this all a social experiment for Facebook? 
3	Heartbreaking Police Kill Dog Story is Breaking the Internet TooBy Amanda Warren Will this be the last straw to bring accountability for police indiscriminately killing the canine family members of its citizenry? Will people finally become outraged and say enough is enough? Basic story: An officer claims his life was threatened by a dog coming out of a window after he went into the yard of the wrong house for a burglary call. The claim is that he knocked and was dutifully checking things out by an open window when a growling dog charged him and latched onto his leg. The problem: it doesnt add up. Witness accounts, bullet casings and more completely contradict both the officer account and the chiefs extreme adherence to defending an officer who may have shot a dog just because.Owner Igor Vukobratovic came back from a trip to the mall to find his dog in the process of dying after it was shot at four times and hit twice (in the chest and back) by Officer Kyle Ferreira in the late afternoon of April 29. First, a gallery and timeline demonstrating the power of the Internet. Justice for Otto is a page set up to show what happened to Otto, the friendly German Shepard, a family dog that was not trained for attack. A posting on Reddit goes viral. From Imgur: The police story does not remotely add up. Otto had never attacked anyone in his life. He was not aggressive. But he would have immediately heard a person enter his yard and would instantly come out to greet them. Witness statements indicate the Officer was not in the yard for more than a few seconds before firing his gun, meaning he could not have observed an open window as cause to draw his weapon. Witnesses did not observe a struggle. He was simply startled and fired four shots at a dog who would have only sniffed him. According to Truthvoice, an officer told them: The chief thinks theres a social media conspiracy to make up stories to smear them. He gives the dog could have killed lines. No one at the department is being disciplined, admitting responsibility or legitimately investigating (themselves). The family (and the Internet) is not letting it go they openly state that the department is lying and launched their own investigation. See how the department story cant possibly add up? A friend writes: The family is seeking legal action.It could have easily been kids playing in any of the neighboring yards, a friendsaid. Its alarming to see that kind of recklessness with a firearm. While some police carry on with unnecessary canine executions, they forget that emotional connection is a bond that normal people share with each other and it still translates on the Internet. Pretty soon, people will have nothing left to lose and will not worry themselves whether contemptuous officers feared for their lives or not they will see through that facade VisitJustice for Otto please share this story or the ones that were linked to above.

1	His voice slowing during his response to a question about immigration as he struggled to comprehend what was happening to him, a visibly terrified Jeb Bush reportedly began to vanish from the visible spectrum while on stage at Tuesday nights Republican debate. Securing our nations borders has to be the first priority in ourourohoh, God. Whatwhats going on? said Bush, who, upon noticing that he was growing fainter, raised his translucent hands in front of his face in apparent disbelief, staring through them in horror for several seconds before frantically launching into the rest of his platform. Uh, we need more surveillance along the border, better enforcement of immigration laws that are already on the books, immigrants should have to learn English, uh, we gotta crack down on sanctuary cities, oh and also we must protect the Second Amendment, repeal Obamacare, lower taxes, and, andno, no, no! Noooooo! At press time, a CNN set technician had hurried onto the stage and wheeled Bushs podium away as the dim remaining silhouette of the candidate faded from sight forever.

'We're proud to announce that the entire Northern Hemisphere should be slathered 10 feet deep in candy-apple red Latex Semi-Gloss by year's end,' Sherwin-Williams CEO Christopher Connor said. 'And we are fully confident that the rest of the globe can be completed well before the giant space bucket runs out of paint.' For the more difficult second-phase painting of the Earth's underside, workmen equipped with spray hoses will be suspended by cables from the equator. 
3	German Officials Call to Change Constitution After Munich Shooting; Military On Streets, Gun ControlBy Brandon Turbeville Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Hermann is now pushing for going so far as to revise the German Constitution so that limits placed on using the military domestically can be removed, allowing the German military to be used inside Germany for large-scale terrorist situations. The limits on Germanys military were put in place after World War II and in response to Germanys experience with the Nazi regime with all its excesses, totalitarianism, violence, and genocide. Hermann stated that Germany is an absolutely stable democracy and, as such, Germans should be perfectly fine with having their military deployed on German streets. Baden-Wurttembergs Interior Minister also hinted at the possibility of changing the German Constitution in a manner similar to Hermann. Social Democrats and Greens have criticized the statements as opportunism. Likewise, Germans are now hearing arguments that Germanys already oppressive gun laws should be tightened even more, thus restricting an already highly restricted populations access to firearms and a means to defend themselves from crime and the possibility of a tyrannical government, both concepts Germans should be quite familiar with. Still, Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel stated that even stricter laws are needed in regard to gun ownership and access to weapons, saying to Funke Media Group that we need to do everything further possible to curb the access to deadly weapons and strictly control them. How can it be that an unstable, or possibly even mentally ill, 18-year-old comes into possession of a firearm? he asked. The question was not asked of Gabriel how it could be that a government, which demands its citizens be unarmed and defenseless on the promise that their government will keep them safe, has allowed the country to turn in to a hot spot for mass shootings, stabbings, and other forms of terrorist attacks. There was, of course, little doubt that communo-fascist elements of the German government would immediately begin to seize upon the crisis real or engineered by intelligence agencies in order to push for greater totalitarian control over the German people. Regardless of the nature of the attacks, it is clear that the German government is not letting it go to waste.

Make sure to not forget to have Israel provide your nations security! They just showed themselves to be behind the terrorism plaguing the German people. Of course all these false flags are about more power and control by the state who wants the population completely defenseless from they the state who are the real terrorists. Exactly. People dont stop to realize how much of these acts are committed by the very people who are selling themselves as protection. I believe that is why we are seeing this huge spike in occurrences. Only theory, but it appears they want everyone so scared to death they beg for the police state to protect them. Look at what happened with the nine eleven attacks. All of our defense agencies , nsa, fbi, cia, norad, military, and more completely failed to stop a few men with box cutters from this, attacking us worse than anyone in recent history. No one questions, how could this huge apparatus completely fail at this and yet is rewarded with more money and control. Germany is a US colony. The US is a CIA colony. The CIA is an Israeli colony. Israel is a Mossad colony. Mossad is a Zio-Terroist org. The first question that everyone needs to ask after one of these shooter/truck/axe/knife/etc. events, whether false flag or not, and which should be foremost in the words of reporters is this HOW DID OUR PAID FOR SECURITY FAIL TO PROTECT? The police and military are the very most expensive part of the Society we live in, and they are failing to protect citizens, citizens whose rights to self defense have been severely diminished. The most basic human right is self defense and the defense of our family. If that is eliminated and the paid for security is inept and worthless, then the leadership which instituted these changes is inept and worthless. These German leaders have not admitted they failed, and that is their first mistake. They failed, and what do we do to those who fail? Before a fascist regime is allowed to alter the balance of all social life, the leaders must be fired. We need leaders who succeed. Who wants a bunch of losers in office who cannot protect the citizens they allegedly represent? Sure is strange, the more we pay them and the bigger they get the more we are attacked!!! I assume the EU is colony of US too and globalist want it trashed into a third world dump, which is being implemented now at high speed. EU neo Marxist leaders want Shiria law to control the stupid masses using jihadists to crack down on the infidels. The EU is about to become a caliphate probably merging with Turkey and middle east Muslim countries. And are controlled by Reptillians/Archons. Basically the whole planet is an IsraHELL colony and this is no joke. Or better to say the jokes on us. Better hurry up and make these changes, cant put off economic collapse much longer! Prelude to martial law Always be a true light that is shininginthedark.c Inanimate objects sure are getting a bad rep. They are going to disarm Americans one way or the other. They are putting a lot of international focus on you guys atm. Here in Australia they have already succeeded in disarming us. We are good to go lol They succeeded because Australians gave up without a fight. It is definitely not going to happen that way in America. The more they try to stop the flow, the faster people lock and load. Were good to go! LOL Yep you are right there! It didnt concern me much at the time but they came down very hard. I wasnt a truth seeker then but I woke up soon enough. We have a slave mentality that still exists from our ancestors to this day. Its frustrating and I get laughed at A LOT! No one believes anything you try to tell them but they will soon. Im glad you guys will fight and Im depending on it. Keep up the fight USA! to Brett..You too can defy your government. The Aussies are very capable of fighting and shaking off whatever spell their government has on them. All western nations need revolutions to bring their nations back to tradition and reality. I agree with you. I will fight; its that or slavery. Im pretty sure they know who I am by now All nations need a revolution at the ballot box to bring back tradition and reality. Brett, We as in Americans as in North America but not Canada are definitely NOT the Americans our Forefathers were. If we were we would not be in this pickle were in right now. British Invasion? First I heard of it or are you talking about the War of 1812? That war of course was started by the Americans thinking they could invade and control British North America. They were dissuaded when the Canucks burnt the White House down! That has been on the globalists agenda for years, disarming American citizens. The reason Japan didnt invade mainland USA in WWII is because there is a rifle behind every blade of grass. We know the govt is coming for us. If Trump loses, theyre coming fast furious. Americas civil war will inspire the world, itll be WWIII, except its the ppl vs tyranic govt, not ppl vs ppl Good stuff, Thomas. Go in hard, mate! These shooter false flags make me want to purchase more guns and roses. They already have strong gun control Which proposed law will have muzzies turning in their jihad guns? We already know their sharia law supersedes all man made laws. just like here in the US, their government will simply remove any remaining firearms from law abiding citizens trying to protect themselves This writer is definitely barking up the wrong tree! Germanys gun laws need tweaking if a mentally disturbed 18 year old can get hold of a gun. That is just plain common sense to everyone except an American psycho. Do you really believe that Germany wants to emulate the blatant degeneracy of America in this regard? Please, even an idiot would know the answer to that question. What has to happen in Germany, is to deal with unprecedented mass refugee migration. Now that is a real problem that must be solved as soon as possible. I have the answer and that answer is youre an idiot. Well thank you, coming from a typical American psycho, that is definitely a compliment! Be proud of what you are. Even though in your case you are an idiot. Did you just get released from a mental institution, or did you escape? Are you talking to yourself? You must be because youre talking crazy. Please explain then why Brazil..now having the people disarmedthe death toll has SKYROCKETED. Then also explain why Switzerland, whos people are demanded to be fully armed have the LOWEST gun violence in the WORLD. Also please explain why all these lone gunman attacks have taken place in gun free zones. I expect a well documented explanation with linksso hop to it Archie! Havent you heard of favelas? The answer to your question is quite simple. Switzerland is one of the most egalitarian, economically wealth nations on Earth. I would suggest that its whole population is middle class and doing well. Brazil has a huge underclass of poor people who live from day to day and hand to mouth. Not only do they have a major problem being left out of Brazils economic miracle but they also have a problem with the impossibility of ever moving up the ladder in society. If they are born in a favela, that is where they will die. If you think this kind of unfair economic treatment doesnt create crime and violence, then you are dead wrong, pun intended! Ahhhhh, now I understand where you are coming from. SO the wealthy who can either hire armed guards to protect themselves or do it themselves..such as prostititions and the banking families and their hired thugs can have the ability to protect themselvesbut the poor and marginalized..well, they can just be murdered by the police or the paid for mercenaries funded by the CIA and Mossad and MI6, etc, etc. Thank you for clarifying how you think for me. Much appreciated. Your muddied and foolish comments are ridiculous and have nothing at all to do with what I said! Germany already have Gun control and even if he was to apply for a gun, he would have been turned down. He got his weapon illegally. Thats funny, because Americans are using Europe, Germany, France Sweden, England in particular, as prime examples of how screwed you all are. How soft fluffy your people have become. If we keep going the way of the weak Europeans, well be taken over by foreign entities who will dictate our laws to us, like your overlords, the EU. Well keep our guns, thanks Overlords, the EU? I hope youre kidding. The only Overlord I know of which has definitely worked over Europe is the US! Forced euthanasia is coming for the stupid Germans. Any MEN left in Germany? How about France? How about the entire festering, Criminal EU? The festering criminal EU is lead by the festering, criminal US! No. What Germany is afraid of is that their citizenry with access to guns will have had enough of their traitorous government and attack them as well as Muslims. Germany, like the US government, would rather have their people helpless than to do what needs to be done and that is kill and/or deport Muslims. The US government is the same liar that the German government is. Both want their citizenry disarmed for the same reasons. They are afraid of them. Yes they are and they use terrorism as the reason. If they enforced the laws of their nations already in place they could fight terrorism and beat it. The governments are using the terrorists threat to consolidate rule over their citizens. Germans used to be real men now they are quivering women bowing before the might of radical Islam. That was in the 20s, 30s, 40s and maybe into the 50s. Germany has been emasculated by the zionist government that controls it. Kind of like what has happened to America. Really? Did you not see the video of a gang of Extremist Muslim thugs attempt to physically attack a German woman out with her boyfriend one night. Her boyfriend, on his own, wiped the sidewalk with at least five of the creepy cowards. Yep, desperate morons trying everything to start WW3, war means power and money for them, not for us, idiots, of course. Are we sure Hitler lost the war? Sure looks like he won to me. Really! Watch The Greatest Story Never Told which is a 6 hour documentary about just that. Well he sure won in Ukraine, thanks to Victoria Nuland and the rank American state Department! Countrys should refuse refugees and leave their citizens rights unfettered. Gun control doesnt work. Only for murdring dictators as history has shown Im waiting for them to say that Naziism should be just fine with the people too. Keep telling the people what they like, but dont ask them. BS!

3	Bioterrorism Homemade in the USACatherine J Frompovich, Contributor Plum Island houses research facilities that dabble in all classes of Frankenstein-like experiments, viruses, bioweapons research, and possibly even different life forms. In July 2008 a creature dubbed the Montauk Monster [1] washed up on the Long Island shoreline, followed later by a couple more. A coincidence? According to those supposedly in the know, PAIDC is in violation of the Geneva Convention. Plum Islands apparent grotesqueif not surrealagenda got started under the auspices of Nazi scientist Eric Traub, who worked for Adolph Hitler in the germ warfare lab under Heinrich Himmler, one of the most powerful men in Nazi Germany and one of the persons most directly responsible for the Holocaust. [2] Traub was brought to the U.S. under Operation Paper Clip. [3] In 1951 Traub took over operations at Plum Island and became known as the godfather of Plum Island. Traubs specialty was infecting mosquitoes and wood ticks with viruses! Some folks, like Randy Sykes, believe Lyme disease originated on Plum Island. Sykes even found a patent pertaining to infecting ticks with viruses. Undoubtedly more disturbing is the fact that Mr. Sykes found government documents in 2005 listing anthrax and Lyme disease as bioterrorism. Even though PAIDC started out under the U.S. Army, after 9-11 it was taken over by Homeland Security, who wants to move PAIDC operations to a university campus in Manhattan, Kansas, in the middle of the country and the farming heartland. The story is told how workers used duct tape on doors of bio-containment areas one time during an incident to prevent escape of organisms at Plum Island. Is that all they could do is use duct tape? Duct tape! Also, building a new PAIDC in Tornado Alley is equivalent to building nuclear power plants on fault lines, as has happened in California and Japan. Supposedly, learned scientists, physicians, and academics are running the bioweapons research projects. You cant prove it by me. Taking a HIGH RISK bioweapons research center currently two miles at sea and placing it smack dab in the middle of the USA is nothing short of ludicrous, unless they know something they are not telling. Apparently, and according to former Congressman Ron Paul, the U.S. government tells lies. Interestingly, Dr. Roger Breeze, chief scientist in the PAIDC biological weapons program also in charge of the lab, said something very sensitive, I think, in his interview with former Governor Jesse Ventura, which you will hear near the end of this stunning 43 minute video: Dr. Breeze seemingly lets a cat out of the bag when he says that PAIDC employees can take infectious diseases off Plum Island; that employees inhale viruses, which trap in the backs of their throats. Hmmm. Is there any wonder why we have so many strange viruses anymore? Or, could it be because there are over thirteen hundred (1300) germ labs across the USA. Pandemics 101, 202, 303, and 404 in the makingcant you just see it? Is that the real reason for so many vaccinations being mandated tooman-made pandemics? I think such a movie could be fascinating and also become an instantaneous box office hit, since pop culture seems to have a fetish for the macabre, plus we could get to know more about what our tax dollars are paying for that apparently either can harm, terrorize, or kill us.

1	Thinking back on a far simpler time, local man Andrew Espenales, 34, wistfully told reporters Wednesday that he is still able to recall an era when the billboard on the southbound side of Interstate 610 advertised the 2013 action comedy Red 2. Man, it feels like it was only yesterday I was looking up at that all-star ensemble cast, said Espenales, smiling as he took a stroll down memory lane to a time when the billboard, currently featuring a Smartwater advertisement, promoted the Bruce Willishelmed sequel with the tagline The Best Never Rest. I can close my eyes and picture it now, clear as day. Youd drive by and see that red background, the large text, and Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Helen Mirren striding confidently toward you. I must have looked up at that old Red 2 sign dozens of times, and then one day, just like that, it was a Nike ad featuring J.J. Watt. Boy, times sure do change. Espenales confirmed that the former summer blockbusters domestic release date, July 19, would forever be etched in his memory.

It seems we wont have that debate because politicians in Washington, including both Obama and Romney, agree that raising the interest on student loans will be an enormous burden that threatens the economic recovery. In other words, keep the bubble going to win middle-class votes and avoid any pain. In either case, students are already suffering from having to paying back massive principal balances because the cost of attending college has increased 439 percent from 1982 to 2007, and even more since then. Meanwhile, during that same period, median family income only rose 147 percent. All of these numbers seem to ensure that all recent grads face a lifetime of debt servitude, especially since student loans cannot be canceled in bankruptcy. Through no fault of their own, students have been lulled into believing that they must attend college to be successful. This myth is the engine of the college bubble, while cheap, easy, low-interest money from the government has been the fuel that has caused the cost to soar far beyond the rate of inflation. An increase in interest payments would be even more catastrophic for already over-burdened college graduates. Yet, unfortunately, it may be just what is needed to slow down the growth of the bubble and save a few young people from the prison of debt. As such, it is just one more of the many reasons not to attend college. Read more articles by Eric Blair here. 
1	Saying he was confused about the full extent of its purpose as well as its overall benefit, local man Jacob Ferris, 25, nonetheless surmised today that the oblong rock located in girlfriend Sarah Milsteins shower caddy must somehow factor into her bathing routine, sources confirmed. I guess at some point while shes showering, she rubs a rock on her body, said Ferris, expressing what he claimed was the only possible conclusion about the light-gray rock in his girlfriends bathroom. I mean, it looks sort of nice, so she could just have it there for decoration or something. But its usually right near all the other soaps and her loofah, so I think its probably something she actually uses while under the water. I really dont know how it all works, Ferris added. All I know is that in between Sarah getting into the shower and getting out, theres a rock involved. Ferris, who said he was unable to determine exactly when in the showering process the rock first comes into play, told reporters he is equally clueless about what part of the body the rock is used on. In addition, Ferris said he occasionally inspects the roughly 3-ounce object when hes in Milsteins shower, and told reporters that the rock is nearly always wet and is occasionally moved to slightly different spots within the bathtub, leading him to believe that his girlfriend uses it fairly regularly. He also noted his girlfriends bathing time never seems particularly longer than the average persons considering she has added a rock into the mix. Ferris added that all attempts to incorporate the rock into his own shower routine have ultimately been unsuccessful. I tried rubbing it on my skin once, and it hurt, Ferris said, concluding that pouring soap and water directly onto the rock neither made it softer nor easier on his skin. I could maybe see how it could get some dirt off of your body, but it seems too painful to work. Her skin usually looks nice though, so maybe Im wrong. There is a chance it could be a hair thing, Ferris continued. Maybe she rubs the rock in her hair? I dont know. Ferris confirmed he has considered numerous reasons for why his girlfriend uses the rock in the shower, including that she has some type of skin condition, that the rock is some sort of weird tradition her family has, or that everyone uses rocks in the shower and he has been out of the loop the entire time. It could be for cleaning the bathtub, said Ferris, adding he once suspected the rock was a device for making the bathroom smell nice, but then noticed it had no discernible smell whatsoever. Like every few weekends she scrubs the tub with this rock? I guess I could see Sarah doing that. While Ferris said he is mostly certain that the rock was initially purchased at a home goods store of some kind, he was not able to completely rule out the possibility it was just a rock that his girlfriend found on the ground and decided to put in her shower. I wonder if I should put a rock in my shower for when shes over here, said Ferris, who said he once tried to locate a rock at a Bed Bath & Beyond, but left after not wanting to walk up to a sales clerk and ask them where they kept their shower rocks. Or I could just tell her to leave a rock at my place if she wants. Im probably not going to do that, Ferris added. At press time, a visibly perplexed Ferris had seen the rock sitting in Milsteins trashcan and then looked in the shower to see another rock sitting in its place. 
1	According to a study published Thursday in the Journal Of Marriage And Family that assessed factors contributing to lasting and happy relationships, the practice of carving names into public property prolongs the time a couple is together by 30 years or more. Controlling for race, age, gender, and income, researchers found that partners who had carved their names into park benches, outdoor art installations, city landmarks, and other structures intended for the enjoyment of the general population remained together an average of three decades longer than couples who did not engrave their names into such property. While numerous factors play a part in a relationships longevitycompatibility of personalities, empathy, and respect, among othersonly one criterion all but guaranteed a healthy union that lasted for multiple decades, and that was the use of a knife or other sharp object to carve the pairs names into wood, concrete, or glass at a public location, said lead researcher Jans Kingman, who later noted the estimated 9 million happily married couples in the United States whose names are carved into desks at libraries. We found that these couples not only experience higher levels of sexual satisfaction and intimacy, they also demonstrate an intense devotion to one another and a deep mutual understanding that were not observed in couples whose names were never inscribed into property designated for public use. According to our research, no one who has carved their names into public property has ever once been cheated on, he added. These couples stay dedicated to each other no matter what. As part of their research, Kingmans team reportedly conducted a nationwide survey of couples who had been together for 40 years or more, finding that 95 percent of respondents had indelibly marked their names into public spaces in large capital letters. Additionally, the survey found that those partners who had surrounded their names with a large outline of a heart or had included the words Luv or 4ever, described even higher levels of mutual contentment, with these subjects unanimously reporting an intense attraction to their partner that had not wavered since the moment they completed their etching. However, in romantic relationships where couples had not used a Swiss Army knife, their car keys, or an old pen to scrape their names into rocks along public park trails or into the window of a city bus or subway car, levels of dissatisfaction and, ultimately, dissolutions of partnerships rose dramatically. If a couple carves their names into a location of significant cultural or religious value, such as an ancient ruin or a site on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, our data show that they will be together even longer and have an even deeper emotional and physical connection, said Kingman, explaining that every couple they studied who had carved their names into some portion of a World Heritage Site had died simultaneously in each others arms in their 90s after a lifetime of marital bliss. We found that this phenomenon also applies to the size and visibility of the names themselves. Bigger, deeper, and darker carvings featuring full names are shown to prolong relationships upwards of 50 years longer than the national average, while tinier etchings that are composed of just initials and a plus sign extend a relationship by only a decade and a half. The more visible and structurally damaging to the piece of property, the greater the positive effect the carving will have on ones relationship, he continued. According to Kingman, couples who were experiencing rough patches in their relationships were able to rid themselves of all of their interpersonal problems simply by eluding security at a place of public importance and marking the site permanently with a carving consisting of their names and anniversary date. However, researchers emphasized that couples only receive the positive relationship benefits if their carvings are permanent, noting that those who simply drew their names in the sand at the beach or wrote their names on a door frame in pencil actually experienced 10 fewer months in a happy, committed relationship than the average couple. Ill never forget the moment I knew my husband and I would be together forever: We were at Navajo Point at the Grand Canyon, and when no one was looking, Larry pulled out his pocket knife and scratched our names right into the wall of the Desert View Watchtower, Cincinnati resident Beverly Hanley, 67, said of her marriage of 44 years. When I looked at that big heart with LARRY & BEV-BEV in the middle and an arrow through it, and I saw it way up high in the center of a beam where everyone would notice it, I knew our love was eternal. Some people say that love fades with time, Hanley continued, but the romance and the burning passion between Larry and me is just the same now as it was that very day. Maybe even stronger. Researchers added that their findings represent the most significant discovery in the field of social relations since a 2009 study that confirmed fraternity brothers who painted a big rock with their organizations Greek letters formed unbreakable bonds and were always there for one another in times of need for the rest of their lives. 
3	IARPA: US Government Spies on Us Through Vimeo and YouTubeSusanne Posel, Contributor Right now Google and YouTube assist corporations in mining for information on internet users by tracking what videos they watch. From there, a profile is derived from preferences. The move toward utilizing computers to collect and decipher information is being seen across the intelligence community. On the US-Mexican border, developments are moving toward using computers to track border-crossers, film them with video cameras, and use software programs to analyze the data. The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) is a US governmental research agency that: Shares information with other US Intelligence Communities (IC) Lisa Porter, former head of NASA, directs projects at IARPA on everything from cyberspace to biometrics. This agency is modeled after Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Located at the University of Marylands Center for Advanced Study of Language, IARPA opens a new chapter in the nations capacity to address its security challenges, both those that are known today and those that are sure to come. The Universitys education and research programs will serve IARPA extremely well, says C. Dan Mote, Jr., president of the University of Maryland (UM). Members of the Senate and House Select Committees on Intelligence like Senator Barbara Mikulski and Congressman Dutch Rupperberger were integral in placing IARPA at UM. Congressman Steny Hoyerexplained: IARPA represents a revolutionary effort to enhance our intelligence capabilities through new technologies. The decision to headquarter IARPA at the University of Maryland speaks volumes about the quality of this world-class institution and its placement at the forefront of groundbreaking technological research. IARPA was designed to aligngovernment, academia and the private sector to develop technologies to improve national and economic security. The agency will conduct military research outside military labs; like the development of the Internet and the Global Positioning System (GPS). With the use of sponsorship of research at universities, national laboratories and other organizations, IARPA is touted as the place to invent really cool spy gear. IARPA is currently involved in a project to utilize data from YouTube and Vimeo to better get to know the citizens of America. Under the Finder program, they are researching where videos on the internet are viewed from by simply analyzing images from the video. In conjunction, IARPAs Aladdin projectis researching specific events of interest that could locate a person by inputting into a computer that persons name and a brief description. Under the guise of spotting would-be bombers, a lost purse or missing child, IARPAs projects are working with various US government agencies to track suspicious persons before they commit their crimes. The US government is mining information from the videos we post online to create detailed profiles as an encompassing intelligence resource that will not only destroy all privacy of internet users, but eventually restrict the information we are allowed to see under the guise of national security.

3	Illegal immigrant used stolen ID to work as airport security supervisor for 20 yearsMadison Ruppert, Contributor Bimbo Olumuyiwa Oyewole, a Nigerian immigrant, lived under the name Jerry Thomas for around 20 years and somehow was not only able to hold a job but hold a job supervising security officers at a relatively large airport. The real Jerry Thomas was reportedly murdered in 1992 in Queens, New York, yet somehow Oyewole was able to pass both state and federal background checks in order to hold his position supervising 30 security guards at Newark Liberty International Airport. Oyewole, a 54-year-old, was arrested at his home in Elizabeth on Monday after the New York Port Authority Police received an anonymous tip. Most recently, Oyewole worked for the contractor FJC Security Services, although he had worked under several other contractors at the airport as well. FJC Security Services has had a contract with Newark airport since 2003 and they say that they carried out a background check not on Oyewole not only with the New Jersey state police but also the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which is a child agency of the behemoth Department of Homeland Security. In all cases, he passed the background checks, said FJC spokesman Michael McKeon. During his time with FJC, he had nothing in his record or his performance to indicate a cause for concern or a reason to question the state police and federal governments background checks, McKeon added. According to NorthJersey.com, Oyewole even presented his fingerprints, but since neither Thomas nor Oyewole had ever been fingerprinted by police, this raised no red flags, although one security expert said this is highly unusual. The series of coincidences boggles the mind, Charles Slepian, founder of Foreseeable Risk Analysis Center, said referring to the strange fact that neither man had fingerprints in any state or federal databases. This is an example of what can happen when you dont screen your personnel very well, Slepian added. His fingerprints got matched up to the other mans identity, said Anthony L. Bucci, a spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Patrol. CBP gave Oyewole the clearance required to work in inspection areas where the screening of international passengers takes place. FJC Security has a $145 million contract with the Port Authority to provide security services at over 12 major facilities where they supplement the Port Authoritys armed police. This case very well might spark a massive effort to re-check every single security guard. Our [the Port Authoritys] leadership called and spoke with FJC Security today and will meet with them in the coming days to take every legally permissible step to recheck their security personnel on a regular basis and to protect our customers, employees and facilities, said Steve Coleman, a Port Authority spokesman. Officials believe that Oyewole was using the stolen identity in order to continue to stay in the United States, which he clearly succeeded in doing. Currently, Oyewole is awaiting the filing of additional charges and is awaiting arraignment at the Superior Court in Essex County. A spokeswoman for the state Attorney General said that their office is handling the prosecution while refusing to provide any additional details on the case. The TSA said in a statement that they are reviewing the procedures the Port Authority uses to validate the documents of employees and contractors, although considering that TSA allowed employers to hire individuals without background checks to work in airports, I doubt much will be done. They might make some token changes in order to make themselves look good in response to this incident, but a major overhaul is doubtful given that they couldnt care less about security. Oyewole, using his fake identity, was able to pass the mandatory training and fingerprinting under the Security Officer Registration Act. Under this act, candidates are disqualified if they have been convicted of any drug-related crimes or a fourth-degree offense of any other nature. According to an anonymous airport employee who reportedly knew Oyewole as Thomas, Oyewole supervised the security guards who guarded the TSA security checkpoints after passenger gates closed at night and before the opened in the morning. The guards supervised by Oyewole also were responsible for inspecting incoming delivery vehicles for unauthorized cargo, according to the unnamed employee who spoke to the Associated Press. Clearly, this is far from a low-level position, and if we were actually facing a terrorist threat, this would mean a massive security breach had taken place. A recently released report from the Department of Homeland Securitys Office of Inspector General concluded that a mere 42 percent of reported security breaches between January 2010 and May 2011 led to any corrective action whatsoever. The Star-Ledger produced a graphic detailing just a handful of the security breaches at Newark airport from January 2011 to February 2011. These include: If the United States really was besieged by terrorists, as the government would like us to believe by claiming that just about everything is an indicator of possible terrorist activity, then certainly we would see actual terrorist attacks occurring given the massive holes in security. However, the only alleged terrorist attacks we see are all directly linked to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (see below video for the most recent instance) or as in the latest case, the Central Intelligence Agency. Hopefully this will help serve as a wake-up call to the American people and help them realize that the entire war on terror is a fraud designed to rob the United States blind while justifying the complete eradication of our most essential rights in the name of security.

2	Rape Epidemic By Refugees In Finland Runs Out Of Control Obama likes to promise that American people that Syrian refugees pose no risk to their safety. Thats interesting, given the escalation of violence weve seen in countries throughout the world who have opened their doors to the Muslim migrants. Finland, for example, has just been deemed one of the least safe countries in Europe for women. According to their local newspaper, that is all because of the Muslim influx. There has been a dramatic increase of crimes committed by those supposedly seeking asylum. It is happening to such a degree that Finland was forced to devote an entire column of their newspaper to the issue of rape. Sexual violence against women is on the mind of many residents there, who fear for the safety of their women. The Finnish media escalated these fears when they highly-publicized the incidents of rape committed by asylum seekers in order to build awareness. This epidemic is evidenced in the numbers. Were seeing reports of rapes that have more than doubled since 2000. What do you think? Does the safety of the American people come first?

2	OUTRAGE: Georgia Man Fired In California Due To Southern Accent According to recent reports, 36-year-old Georgian Dennis Townsen was recently fired from his job at the New Though Textile Institute (NTTI) in California for what is being called discriminatory and unlawful reasons. Reports claim that Townsen was a hardworking employee at his job, with a spotless record. He was offered many jobs around the country, but decided on NTTI. His coworkers describe him as, An individual who was not only pleasant and friendly, but consistently professional. Now, Townsen has written an open letter to Jack Phillips, the owner responsible for the termination. He has sent the letter to several California news stations and nearly hundreds of media outlets. It wasnt until 6 months ago that the workplace harassment began, Townsen writes. A new department manager, Jack Phillips, was brought on board after our previous manager had retired. From day one I could tell Phillips didnt like me. I wasnt sure if I had unknowingly offended him or why he treated me so much more poorly then all of the other employees in our department. He was always making condescending remarks towards me and the harassment only continued to get worse and worse. Townsen goes on to describe that the focus of the harassment was surrounding the fact that he was born in the south, and Phillips was an avid (and vocal) Obama supporter. According to Townsen, Phillips began to pick on his heritage, and specifically his accent, telling Townsen that he needed to learn proper English. I do believe I was made a target and subsequently fired for having a southern accent, Dennis concludes in his letter. What do you think? Is this just wrong?

3	The Fed Is The Great DeceiverPaul Craig Roberts and Dave Kranzler From November 2013 through January 2014 Belgium with a GDP of $480 billion purchased $141.2 billion of US Treasury bonds. Somehow Belgium came up with enough money to allocate during a 3-month period 29 percent of its annual GDP to the purchase of US Treasury bonds. Certainly Belgium did not have a budget surplus of $141.2 billion. Was Belgium running a trade surplus during a 3-month period equal to 29 percent of Belgium GDP? No, Belgiums trade and current accounts are in deficit. Did Belgiums central bank print $141.2 billion worth of euros in order to make the purchase? No, Belgium is a member of the euro system, and its central bank cannot increase the money supply. So where did the $141.2 billion come from? There is only one source. The money came from the US Federal Reserve, and the purchase was laundered through Belgium in order to hide the fact that actual Federal Reserve bond purchases during November 2013 through January 2014 were $112 billion per month. Why did the Federal Reserve have to purchase so many bonds above the announced amounts and why did the Fed have to launder and hide the purchase? Some country or countries, unknown at this time, for reasons we do not know dumped $104 billion in Treasuries in one week. Another curious aspect of the sale and purchase laundered through Belgium is that the sale was not executed and cleared via the Feds own National Book-Entry System (NBES), which was designed to facilitate the sale and ownership transfer of securities for Fed custodial customers. Instead, The foreign owner(s) of the Treasuries removed them from the Federal Reserves custodial holdings and sold them through the Euroclear securities clearing system, which is based in Brussels, Belgium. We do not know why or who. We know that there was a withdrawal, a sale, a drop in the Federal Reserves Securities held in Custody for Foreign Official and International Accounts, an inexplicable rise in Belgiums holdings, and then the bonds reappear in the Federal Reserves custodial accounts. What are the reasons for this deception by the Federal Reserve? The Fed realized that its policy of Quantitative Easing initiated in order to support the balance sheets of banks too big to fail and to lower the Treasurys borrowing cost was putting pressure on the US dollars value. Tapering was a way of reassuring holders of dollars and dollar-denominated financial instruments that the Fed was going to reduce and eventually end the printing of new dollars with which to support financial markets. The image of foreign governments bailing out of Treasuries could unsettle the markets that the Fed was attempting to soothe by tapering. A hundred billion dollar sale of US Treasuries is a big sale. If the seller was a big holder of Treasuries, the sale could signal the bond market that a big holder might be selling Treasuries in large chunks. The Fed would want to keep the fact and identity of such a seller secret in order to avoid a stampede out of Treasuries. Such a stampede would raise interest rates, collapse US financial markets, and raise the cost of financing the US debt. To avoid the rise in interest rates, the Fed would have to accept the risk to the dollar of purchasing all the bonds. This would be a no-win situation for the Fed, because a large increase in QE would unsettle the market for US dollars. Washingtons power ultimately rests on the dollar as world reserve currency. This privilege, attained at Bretton Woods following World War 2, allows the US to pay its bills by issuing debt. The world currency role also gives the US the power to cut countries out of the international payments system and to impose sanctions. As impelled as the Fed is to protect the large banks that sit on the board of directors of the NY Fed, the Fed has to protect the dollar. That the Fed believed that it could not buy the bonds outright but needed to disguise its purchase by laundering it through Belgium suggests that the Fed is concerned that the world is losing confidence in the dollar. If the world loses confidence in the dollar, the cost of living in the US would rise sharply as the dollar drops in value. Economic hardship and poverty would worsen. Political instability would rise. If the dollar lost substantial value, the dollar would lose its reserve currency status. Washington would not be able to issue new debt or new dollars in order to pay its bills. Its wars and hundreds of overseas military bases could not be financed. The withdrawal from unsustainable empire would begin. The rest of the world would see this as the silver lining in the collapse of the international monetary system brought on by the hubris and arrogance of Washington.

3	Portland Surrenders to Adding Toxic Fluoride in Drinking WaterLisa Garber Mayor Sam Adams betrayed his populacewhich has repeatedly voted down fluoridationand joined others in the pockets of the fluoride industry. In defense of his newfound alliance, Mayor Adams claims that he grew up drinking fluoridated water in his hometown of Newport, Oregonhence his pearly whites. A Foundation of Lies Mayor Adams, however, has been caught in a lie: the City of Newports Public Works page and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention claim that Newport doesnt, in fact, fluoridate its water. Either the mayor is sorely misinformed or hes resorted to lying for lobbyistsnot an uncommon practice, sadly. His healthy teeth may (if they are indeed healthy) may owe their welfare to adequate levels of vitamin A and D as well as good brushing and flossing practices. Fluoride in Drinking Water Hurts the Brain, Causes Cancer Research by the Cochrane Oral Health Group, in fact, shows that ingesting fluoride does next to nothing for dental health. Meanwhile, a major Harvard study published in a federal government journal found that even at levels as low as 1 ppm (the American standard), fluoride lowers IQ and negatively affects brain development. Communities are attempting to end water fluoridation, mainstream news is acknowledging its negative effects, and even a number of professional dentists have recognized the dangers of fluoride, and spoken out against its use and distribution. So why is Portland adding toxic fluoride in drinking water? On the five-member City Council, Amanda Fritz and Dan Saltzman oppose fluoridation while Randy Leonard, Nick Fish, and now Sam Adams are in favor for it. No date has been set for the vote on the issue. If you wish to be heard, contact the latter three council members here. Additional Sources: West Virginia Rural Health Research Center Explore More: 
1	Local restaurant manager Brad Conner signed up for a PumpkinZonia.com membership Monday, attracted by the irresistible lure of 10 completely free, no-strings-attached Prismatic Pumpkin Points, which he can spend as he sees fit. 'It's official,' Conner told reporters. 'I'm one of the thousands who have made PumpkinZonia their new Internet home. A week ago, I hadn't even heard of the place, but today I address you as a bona fide member of the Pumpkin Public.' According to Conner, he first discovered PumpkinZonia last Tuesday, when he was surfing the web and a Flash game inside a banner advertisement invited him to test his skills hurling pumpkins at an animation of musician Kanye West. Conner determined that he must have performed well at the task, because before he knew it, he was being offered 10 free Prismatic Pumpkin Points to be paid directly to his PumpkinZonia account upon activation of his free membership. 'I remember thinking, 'Wow, finally some good luck: free membership and free points all at the same time,'' said Conner, who within five minutes had joined the site and collected his points. 'It was too good to pass up.' Upon logging in, Conner was dazzled by the wide range of features available to PumpkinZonia members, especially the communications network, which allows him to meet with friends in a fully functional chat room and send messages to any members who have 'yessed' him on his Pumpkin Pad. 'It supports different emoticons and everything,' Conner said. 'And if that weren't enough, I can give my friends Pumpkin Pokes to let them know I'm online. I can even send what they call 'Virtual Gifts,' anything from Pumpkin Pies to Jack-o'-Lanterns, all for a very reasonable number of Pumpkin Points.' 'And I would have missed out on it all if I hadn't been offered those free points,' he added. In addition to his online windfall, Conner named a host of other benefits he received for joining, including a free Pumpkin Point Piggy Bank to keep his wealth safe from Pumpkin Prowlers; a virtual one-story house on an acre of PumpkinZonia real estate; up to three free rides per day on the Pumpkin train to any destination in the Upper Patch; and the ability to customize his in-game avatar. 'My avatar looks like me if my head were a pumpkin, and there's all these free clothes to select from,' Conner said. 'But if I want customized hats or shoes, they cost Platinum Pumpkin Points.' Acknowledging that he may well be the luckiest member in the history of the young site, Conner said he recently learned that his in-good-standing membership status grants him countless chances to earn still more points. 'PumpkinZonia has all these business partners who want to help go-getters like me load up on points,' he said. 'All I have to do is take a survey, sign up for a promotional offer, or, simplest of all, type in my cell phone number. That keeps the good news coming, because then more great offers get sent directly to my phone before anyone else even knows about them.' Added Conner, 'I can't believe everybody in the world isn't doing this.' Conner confirmed he has not yet decided how to spend his points, but said that he might splurge on a Giggling Gourd, which he would be able to display on his in-game lawn, where all his neighbors can to see it. Alternatively, he has considered converting them into Purple Points to spend at the arcade. 'I really like the PumpkInvaders game,' he said. 'But what's really exciting is, I can do anything I want with the points. At least until next month, when they expire.' Conner is reportedly also excited about opportunities for promotion and improved status within the PumpkinZonia community, which increase the more he participates. He was unable to suppress a smile when noting that, although he has been a member for less than a week, he is already a level 3 Pumpkin Patron. 'The higher your level, the more Pumpkin Kash you're eligible to win in the daily lottery, just by signing in,' said Conner, explaining that Pumpkin Kash is a PumpkinZonia currency distinct from Pumpkin Points, and is exchangeable for an entirely different range of online services and products. 'You can use Kash to get PumpSkins for your favorite web browser, to put up billboards in downtown PumpkinZonia, or even to buy a Platinum-Plus membership, which gets you access to more activities and a lot fewer ads.' 'And best of all, even more points!' he continued. 'I can be Platinum for a whole month if I manage to rack up P-10,000 in Pumpkin Kash, or pay $40.' Conner explained that he can also acquire vast sums of points by simply encouraging his friends and family to join him as registered PumpkinZonia members, a process he discovered was easy once he allowed the site access to his directory of e-mail contacts. According to Conner, if he succeeds in getting 12 Pumpkin Pals to sign up, he'll earn 400 Prismatic Points. So far he has one friend on board and is 'waiting to hear back from 20 or 30 more.'

2	George W. Bush Criticizes Obama About War With Islamic State In a recent event held by Jewish Donors, former President George W. Bush made some harsh comments about President Barack Obama, telling attendees that he is being nave about Iran as it pertains to the pending nuclear deal and losing the war against the Islamic State. One attendee who was present at the Republican Jewish Coalition was quick to recap Bushs controversial remarks. The former president has been relatively tame when it comes to publicly criticizing Obama or his policies. He has made it clear that he does not want to re-enter the political arena. But he did not hold back from arguing that Obama is placing the United States in retreat around the world. Further, Bush was quick to comment on the manipulative leader of Irans new president, Hassan Rouhani. Hes smooth, Bush reportedly commented. And youve got to ask yourself, is there a new policy or did they just change the spokesman? You think the Middle East is chaotic now? Bush continued. Imagine what it looks like for our grandchildren. Thats how Americans should view the deal. Bush defends his own administrations handling of terrorist threats, noting that terrorist Khalid Sheikh-Mohammed, the man responsible for the death of reporter Daniel Pearl, was capture on his watch. In order to be an effective presidentwhen you say something you have to mean it, Bush concluded. What do you think? Was G.W. Bush a way better president than Obama will ever be? 
3	Biometrics On Steroids How the Police State is Going to Use Your Tattoos Against YouBy Claire Bernish As privacy watchdog Electronic Frontier Foundation reported, in 2104 and 2015, the FBI partnered with the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST yes, that NIST, responsible for the hotly contended report on the World Trade Center and 9/11) to ramp up tattoo identification technology. Biometrics companies and other researchers received a giant database of prisoner tattoos and were asked to run five experiments to show how well their algorithms could match tattoos under various circumstances, EFF explained. Some tests involved matching different photos of the same persons tattoo. Other experiments sought to match similar tattoos on different people based on their characteristics such as a crucifix, Minnie Mouse, and Chinese calligraphy. These tests pose serious concerns for privacy, free expression, religious freedom, and the right of association. While, in the past, tattoo identification has served such beneficial purposes as identifying murder victims and suspects or locating missing people, furthering the technology to include interpretation of tattoo symbols poses multiple inherent risks. That isnt the only area for the technology to go horribly wrong, either. As EFF pointed out, if someone refuses to produce ID or otherwise identify themselves to law enforcement, an officer could take a picture and using tattoo recognition, could be identified pulling up the persons prior arrest and other records. Though NIST offered the identification of a robbery suspect as an example of potential benefit the technology offers, anyone caught on camera, whether acting nefariously or not, could be subject to identification. As with mass domestic surveillance, this creates a generalized guilty before proven innocent atmosphere and possibly another avenue to apply the DHS adage, if youre doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear. Those who value the natural human right to go about their business anonymously, however which should encompass every human on the planet will beg to differ. Virtually every law enforcement agency in the U.S. now tracks our every move via cell phones, but facial recognition technology and now tattoo identification tech are making moot the need for a device to track people anywhere they go. Three companies in the challenge reported 90 percent accuracy in their algorithms detecting tattoos. But MorphoTraks version detected a tattoo in an image with 96.3 percent accuracy and could track the same tattoo through different images over time with a startling accuracy of 99.4 percent. But it only gets creepier from there. MorphoTrak also managed to identify through matching, with 94.6 accuracy, tattoos where only a portion could be seen in a photo where part was covered by clothing, or where the design had been embellished after the original picture. Further methods for tattoo identification using, for example, an artists sketch derived from witness descriptions, which could then be run through a database, is also being developed. Of paramount concern to privacy advocates are subjective interpretations of tattooed images, particularly as stigmatized and politicized as some symbols can be especially with such technology in the hands of various government agencies. Imagine an individuals political ideology or religion tattooed in symbols whether or not the individual is a true enemy of the State, the ruling government would be free to interpret those symbols as it pleases. Of course, this doesnt even approach the idea of tattoos for the sake of irony or satire or if someone gets a tattoo in the honest belief its symbol means something other than its traditional meaning or, if the tattooed symbol simply appealed to someone for artistic or design reasons. As EFF explained: One of the most worrisome applications of tattoo recognition technology is its potential ability to reveal connections or shared beliefs among a population. For example, rather than matching a particular tattoo of a crucifix with an individual, police could run the image of a crucifix through a database to produce a long set of individuals with similar cross tattoos. This essentially means police would be able to create lists of people based on their religion, politics, or other affiliations as expressed by their tattoos. This type of tattoo matching could sweep of fans of the same bands or members of the same labor union or military unit. This application has a high likelihood of generating false positives matching someone whose tattoo may be visually similar, but not actually symbolically similar. That could result in people being improperly associated with groups, such as gangs, with which they have no actual affiliation. What a convenient way to pad the governments notoriously inaccurate and highly-controversial terrorist watch list. Recently, a report indicated the FBI intends to closely guard all information concerning its secretive biometrics database and its safe to assume once tattoo recognition technology is fully developed, tattoos will also find a place in that accumulated list. While this aspect of the technology might be a long way from reality, its development continues in earnest. In the meantime, the privacy watchdog has launched a counter-campaign, because, as it states, the research program is so fraught with problems that EFF believes the only solution is for the government to suspend the project immediately. At a minimum, scientists must stop using any tattoo images obtained coercively from prison and jail inmates and tattoos that contain personal information or religious or political symbolism. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. They were talking about this 6 or so years ago. This caught my eye due to the fact the tat I had 40 years ago was suddenly on the Watch Dog List and today would of been reported by law!! WTF has happened to my America??? All i know is that the elite are terrified of us, we should use this against them and take back our sovereignty. 
1	Shopping for brand-name merchandise at everyday low prices became easier for the greater Albany area Saturday, as the new Westvale Mall opened for business with the help of Richard Dean Anderson, TV's 'MacGyver.' Westvale Mall, visited on opening day by celebrity Richard Dean Anderson (inset). 'Mr. Anderson, we welcome you to Albany and take great pride in presenting you with this golden key to the Westvale Mall,' said Albany deputy mayor Brenda DeLisle at the opening ceremony, which drew an estimated 45 local residents eager for a glimpse of the star. 'It gives me great pleasure to be a part of this momentous occasion,' said the scissors-wielding Anderson at the emotional peak of the three-minute ceremony. 'I'd rather be shopping than defusing bombs and scaling buildings, that's for sure!' 'Well, thank you all for coming. I hereby open Westvale Mall,' added Anderson, who played the role of maverick gadgetry expert MacGyver in the action/adventure series of the same name on ABC from 1985 to 1992. He then severed the yellow plastic ribbon stretching across the mall's main entrance and stood aside as the crowd rushed into the new complex. 'It was wonderful of Mr. Dean Anderson to help open a new mall out here,' area resident Paul Davis said. 'I think the drive to get here is a little shorter than to the CenterPoint Mall, so that will be good.' 'Also,' he added, 'I hear the mall is going to have a Radio Shack. I'm definitely for that.' Local retiree Helen Coyne, among the first to walk through a tinted glass door held open by Anderson, was also thankful for the star's contribution to the city. 'I don't watch so much television these days, except for my shopping shows,' Coyne said. 'But Richard D. Anderson was very handsome, and I'm sure his show will be very funny when it comes on.' The formal ribbon-cutting ceremony was followed by a 'Richard Dean Anderson look-alike contest' held in front of the new Earring Tree inside the mall. 'That was pretty cool seeing MacGyver,' said area plumber Steve Framisch, who won a $20 J.C. Penney gift certificate by placing second among the three contestants. The contest, which simply involved Anderson standing in a line with the other three men, was judged by Lauren Ziegler, 1999's Miss Teen Linn County. 'It said on the poster that [Anderson] was on General Hospital, so I asked him about that,' Ziegler said. 'But it turns out he was on back in the '70s. I was like, 'No wonder I don't remember you. I wasn't even born then!'' After the contest, Albany Chamber of Commerce President Wallace Crimmon made it 'his personal business' to ensure Anderson's comfort and happiness for the remainder of his several-hour stay in Albany. Crimmon urged the visiting celebrity to order whatever he wanted from any restaurant in the food court 'on the house.' Then, hovering over Anderson as he drank an Orange Julius drink, he offered him a choice of 'Albany: We're Going Places' souvenir T-shirts from the 'Made In Oregon' kiosk. In return, Anderson gave Crimmon, who later described the accomplished actor as 'awe-inspiring,' his agent's card in case he could be of assistance again in the future. 'As much as I enjoy my many acting projects, I also love having opportunities to come out and meet my public,' Anderson said as he quickly signed an autograph for a developmentally disabled mall patron. 'It's very rewarding to participate in an exciting event for the shopping community of Alberta.' 'I could stay here for a week, if I didn't have a boat show to do in Lincoln City tomorrow,' Anderson added. 'By the way, what time is it?' 
1	In an effort to boost the economy and promote job growth, representatives from the newly revived Works Progress Administration announced Thursday their plan to dismantle, piece by piece, the 3.25 million cubic yards of concrete forming the Hoover Dam, and then immediately rebuild it. 'This is a vital initiative,' said WPA director Ted Doogan, who was appointed last week. 'Systematically tearing down such a massive edifice will create at least 25,000 jobs over the next five years. And then reassembling it, using all the same pieces in the exact same configuration, will employ another 25,000 workers. America is back.' Other public works projects currently underway include the bulldozing of libraries, the burning of national forests, and the defacing of public murals, which will be followed by a massive plan to rebuild libraries, revive national forests, and repaint public murals.

3	Fast and Furious 2.0 CIA Weapons Destined for Syria Stolen Used to Murder AmericansBy Justin Gardner As part of its effort to foment regime change in Syria, the CIA has been buying Kalashnikov assault rifles, mortars and rocket-propelled grenades in Eastern Europe for delivery to moderate Syrian rebels. However, its been revealed that truckloads of these weapons are being systematically stolen en route to the rebels. The stolen weapons were then sold on the black market in Jordan at bazaars in Maan, Sahab, and in the Jordan Valley. Those involved in the theft scheme, worth millions of dollars, used the profits to purchase expensive SUVs, electronics, and other luxury goods. It is also believed that some of the stolen weapons were used to kill two Americans and three others at a police training facility shooting in Amman in November. The thefts were purportedly being done by Jordanian intelligence officers acting as intermediaries between the CIA and Syrian rebels, including senior officials who covered up the dealings for lower level officers. The idea that American officials knew absolutely nothing about the lucrative scheme is questionable, especially considering that some of the weapons were destined for a classified CIA-run rebel training program in Jordan that began in 2013. Basic accounting of inventory should have alerted officials early on that something was awry, but the lure of black market money is a powerful force. It takes many people and many bribes to carry off repeated weapons theft of this magnitude. Jordans minister of state for media affairs insists that none of their intelligence officers were involved and that Weapons of our security institutions are concretely tracked, with the highest discipline. But these are empty words, as Jordanian officials have already described how logistics officersrelying on cover provided by senior officerswere involved in the actual siphoning of weapons and delivery to large arms markets in Jordan. Several dozen officers, including a lieutenant colonel, were arrested, then released and fired from the intelligence service. Two heads of the service, called the General Intelligence Directorate (GID), have been sent to prison for theft, embezzlement, money laundering and bank fraud totaling hundreds of millions of dollars. Clearly, the GID is no stranger to criminal behavior. The CIA has been cultivating its relationship with the (GID) for decades, beginning in the 1950s with payments to King Hussein for permission to set up intelligence operations on Jordanian soil. As part of the deal, the CIA helped the monarchy squash threats to its reign. The Jordanian kingdom has tried to maintain complete secrecy about the CIA rebel training program, which is also funded by Saudi Arabia and has trained thousands of rebels over the past three years. It was launched to try and gain control of a chaotic situation in which Arab countries were funneling arms into Syria for various rebel groups with little coordination. The news of this massive siphoning of weapons into the black market is another sad chapter in the decades of U.S. meddling in the Middle East. Time and time again, the CIA has armed rebels to fight the governments it deems undesirable. The CIA nurtured the mujaheddin in Afghanistan in the 1980s to fight off communist Russia, but that misadventure brought us al-Qaida. The U.S. latched onto the Salafist sect in Syria to fight against Assad and destabilize the region, ultimately leading to the creation of the murderous Islamic State. The efforts to train and equip rebels in Syria have led to the absurd situation where CIA-armed militias have fought Pentagon-armed militias between the Turkish border and the war-ravaged city of Aleppo. The U.S. military machine and its friends in the military-industrial complex show no sign of letting up. By continuing these shadow operations, they are pumping weapons into the death trade of the Middle East and aggravating the pain and misery that has plagued the region for decades. The latest CIA weapons scandal has not only fueled the Jordanian arms black marketwhich most likely supplies some of the ISIS fighters carrying out brutal murdersbut also supports the black market in Eastern Europe where the weapons were procured. The U.S. has even threatened to bringman-portable air-defense systems (MANPADs) into the mix for Syrian rebels to take down fighter jets, which has the potential to escalate tensions with Russia and turn a civil war into something much worse. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Are you blind??? Obama is arming the Sunni Army.These weapons are not going to the Forest Service.or the IRS. Are you blind?? Obama is making his own personal army. Sunni Muslims. Guns for drugs its the CIA way.

In the process of bombing Mosul, Iraq, the Air Force destroyed millions of dollars controlled by ISIS. They used two 2,000 pound bombs to destroy the cash house. This is so awesome. This makes us proud to be American. Do you think Obama should continue air strikes against ISIS?

When my agent called yesterday and told me You got Sasha, I couldnt believe it, said Watkins, the 12-year-old replacing identical twin actresses Ashley and Jamie Richards, who have played the role to mostly positive reviews since 2011. Im really excited about the opportunity to take Sasha in a new direction. The nation should expect her to become a little moodier as she enters her teenage years. She might even be getting into a little more trouble than what people are used to seeing. Sources confirmed Watkins has already visited the White House wardrobe department and been outfitted with lace-up platform boots, a black velvet cloak, and additional goth attire. 
2	Escaped Sex Slaves Form Elite Unit In Killing 100s Of ISIS Militants And Plans To Do THIS Next ISIS has captured 1000s of women to be turned into sex slaves. These girls originally came from Yazidis, where 2000 of them were captured by ISIS militants. Even more would have been captured if they didnt jump off the edge of the mountaintop, preferring death over ISIS. Many of these women were able to escape from the clutches of ISIS. Now they have formed an elite female unit called Force of the Sun Ladies, with the sole purpose of destroying ISIS. So far, they have 123 women, and hundreds more are waiting to join. The unit has been fighting and killing ISIS militants since November of 2015, and their next task is the recapture of Mosul, the second largest city in Iraq. They plan to cut out all supply routes and starve them out, since they cant receive any packages from the air. These women are so brave. Do you think the U.S. should back them up? 
1	WASHINGTON, DCThe avian influenza virus, a mutant flu strain that has claimed the lives of 31 people in Eastern Asia since it was first observed passing from birds to humans in 1997, has the nation's foremost alarmists extremely agitated. Representatives from the Alarmist Council. 'Right now, the bird flu is just a blip in the newspapers, but if the avian influenza virus undergoes antigenic shift with a human influenza virus, the resulting subtype could be highly contagious and highly lethal in humans,' Matthew Wexler, the president of the National Alarmist Council and one of the nation's leading fear mongers, said Monday. 'My professional opinion, and more importantly, my personal belief, is that this is a cause for great national alarm.' Wexler's sentiments were unanimously upheld by members of the alarmist community. 'The bird flu could cause a global influenza pandemic similar to the Spanish Flu that killed more than 20 million people in 1918,' medical alarmist Dr. Preston Douglas said. 'Many experts also believe a major global flu outbreak to be imminent, if notGod forbidalready underway. Why, recent observation and documentation has recorded at least one case of human-to-human transmission of a rare strain of the avian influenza virus. If this one case is proof that the animal virus is mutating into a contagious, lethal human virus, then the entire world is basically doomed. Doomed!' Douglas is best known for his brilliant alarmist analyses of flesh-eating bacteria, Ebola, and SARSall of which he successfully developed into topics of major international trepidation. Bird flu was first identified as a strain of infectious influenza in Italy in the early 1900s. Of the 15 subtypes, only subtypes H5 and H7 are known to be capable of crossing the species barrier from birds to humans. The first human outbreak, which occurred in Hong Kong in 1997, killed four people. Since then, the bird flu has remained a relatively minor virus, killing fewer individuals than common-cold variants. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have issued neither an epidemic warning nor a public-health alert in connection with bird flu. According to leading alarmists, the CDC's lack of immediate concern is a cause for alarm. 'So, basically, the CDC doesn't have the first inkling of what to do about a potentially explosive form of flu that infects ducks and chickens,' said Fox News Science, Health, and Epidemics Commentator Marylinne Kent. 'Given the popularity of these two birds as a food source among Asians, and the fact that we have no idea how many undocumented Asians have settled illegally in our nation, the potential for danger is extremely high.' 'I urge you all to think of your families,' Kent added. Harold Jefferson, a founding member of the American National Citizen's Institute for Alarm, read from a prepared statement Tuesday. 'We have to face the facts: This isn't just a rapacious killer that could be incubating anywhere within our borders and for which there is no known cure,' Jefferson said. 'It is also an indicator of the profound indifference of millions of American citizens. Mark my words: People who aren't scared now will look pretty stupid if it turns out that they should have been.' Jefferson added: 'The bird flu could someday claim as many lives as Mad Cow Disease.' Ruth Herrin, the New York Post's veteran panic expert, has relied heavily on information provided by alarmists in the scientific community. 'Listen, I'm no disease expert,' Herrin said. 'But I know that people should be warned about global devastation any time a devastation scenario can be extrapolated from an actual news report. And for the 16th consecutive month, that time is now.' None of the nation's 15,000 certified alarmists have offered a strategy to deal with a possible outbreak. 'Listen, finding cures is not my job,' Wexler said. 'I just report the facts as best and as briefly as I can. Then I interpret them in what I, as an alarmist, believe to be the most effective fashion. And if what I perceive here is realnamely, a looming epidemic and an atmosphere of apathy and fatalism in the U. S. medical communitythen we are facing Armageddon.' 
1	Suppressing their feelings about the doomed couple, guests at Saturday's wedding of Jerome Sykes, 23, and Madeline Pirone, 26, pretended the marriage was a good thing. Sykes and Pirone after their secretly disapproved-of wedding. 'Madeline looked so beautiful today,' said mother of the groom Betsy Sykes, who once threatened to disown her son if he married 'that manipulative bitch.' 'She looked positively radiant. They're going to give me such beautiful grandchildren one day.' Willfully ignoring the eight months of screaming, pleading, and threats that marked the couple's courtship, both families were outwardly positive about what they secretly called a 'horrible disaster waiting to happen.' 'Jerome and Madeline said they were in love and wanted to spend the rest of their lives together,' said Dorothy Pirone, the bride's mother, who reacted to the October 2000 announcement of the engagement by throwing a porcelain cookie jar at Sykes' head. 'It's so wonderful to see a young couple so in love.' Despite near-constant fighting and two breakups during their eight months of dating, Sykes, a part-time worker at Federal Express, and Pirone, a hair stylist at Supercuts, say their relationship was meant to be. 'Nobody in my family liked me going out with Maddy,' Sykes said. 'Everyone said she wasn't good enough for me, that she treats me like shit. But I don't care what they say: She's the love of my life and nobody can keep us apart.' Pirone agreed, saying that their families' disapproval of the relationship brought her and Sykes closer together. 'Everyone in Jerry's family said I was just dating him on the rebound after I broke up with Mike [Harrison],' said Pirone, straightening the same wedding gown worn years earlier by her mother, who reluctantly agreed to let Madeline wear it. 'So we felt like we had to see each other in secret, just like in that movie Romeo And Juliet, until Jerry was just like, 'Screw this, let's just get married and nobody will be able to tell us what to do.'' Friends of the bride and groom masked their true feelings throughout the reception, peppering their conversation with comments like, 'Yes, we're very happy for the both of them,' and 'No, really, we're very happy.' 'When Jerome's high-school shop teacher, Mr. Kyzlowski, came through the receiving line, he said it looked like Jerome had really grown up in the last few years,' said Patricia Sykes, the groom's mother. 'And I guess I had to agreehe technically is a man now.' Pirone's maternal grandmother, Mary Ellen O'Rourke, who after every meeting with Sykes said she '[doesn't] like that boy,' was especially impressed with the wedding. 'The flowers were so beautiful,' O'Rourke said. 'Very pretty flowers.' 'I told Madeline I was totally jealous of her,' said maid of honor Roxanne David, who in March repeatedly warned Pirone that Sykes was sleeping with one of their friends. 'I told her she looked so beautiful, and that Jerry is going to make her the happiest woman on the planet. What else was I supposed to say?' Not everyone paid lip service to the couple's prospects. 'If those two last more than a year, I'll sell my dentures,' said Maria Van Kamp, 58, the harpist at the reception. 'I've played a lot of weddings, and I can usually tell who's going to make it. Usually, if the groom is drunk and hitting on a bridesmaid, and the bride threatens to call off the wedding twice during the rehearsal dinner, it's a pretty good sign that they're not going the distance.' Added Van Kamp: 'They make a cute couple, though.' 
1	Throngs of religious faithful from across the U.S. are making pilgrimages to Abilene following Monday's discovery of a miracle highway overpass that periodically emits a stream of urine. 'I was just driving under the overpass, when, all of a sudden, a golden stream of liquid fell upon my windshield from above,' said motorist Gail Silva. 'I knew then and there that my life had deeper meaning.' The stretch of highway has since been closed for several miles in both directions to accommodate the thousands of spiritual seekers who have journeyed to the overpass in hopes of being anointed with what many believe to be the micturition of Christ. 
3	Junk Food is Addicting and Killing PeopleStephanie Relfe The evils of junk food are even worse than most people know. The following is Chapter 27 from my book Youre not Fat, Youre Toxic, which explains how the growing obesity epidemic, along with increasing diseases such as diabetes, is caused by toxins (like those in junk food from supermarkets, as well as from fast food), NOT by calories, which is what the corporations would like us to believe: TOXIC FOOD #14, JUNK FOOD = JUNK BODY Fast food is part of junk food, but its not the only source of it, because supermarkets are full of junk food. Since so many people know that junk food is fattening and unhealthy, one would think that all fast food outlets would have closed down by now. However, since so many people still give their money to junk food companies, and because junk food is a major cause of obesity, I thought I would include information on it, not because its high in calories, but because it is so toxic, in the hope that this will encourage you to never give them another dollar of your money, until they change their ways. Fast food does not have to be so toxic and fattening. Why do people keep eating fast food when obviously everyone wants to be slim, so that they can look and feel great? Why do we have to have organizations like Overeaters Anonymous for people who believe, as they say on the website, Our symptoms may vary, but we share a common bond: we are powerless over food and our lives are unmanageable (1). Its because junk food works like drugs. That is, junk food is addictive. People who cant control their eating are not addicted to food. Its just that the particular foods that they eat are addictive. When these people make the switch to a diet made of vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds and legumes, with a few other foods such as organic eggs and millet bread, they will see their hunger and cravings go down. The junk food companies know this, but they dont care, because it makes them rich. I like to think of them as a part of the Food Mafia. They are little more than drug pushers. To make matters worse, companies such as McDonalds add emotional addiction to the chemical addiction. Why else do they continue to sell so-called Happy meals to children, and advertise on childrens programs, if not to addict people at a young age and keep them customers for life? Other methods used include free toys, selling toys in toy stores that are designed by them, and providing play centers. Every time you think of McDonalds, they want you to have feelings that are based on happy, fun times. Since most people dont think about where their feelings come from, these people will have false urges to eat McDonalds to relive those feelings, until they recognize and refuse those urges. In the brilliant documentary Forks over Knives, Dr. Terry Mason MD, Commissioner of Health for the City of Chicago, tells us that unfortunately, its often poor people who eat fast food. This is particularly sad when you work out that fast food these days is expensive, especially if you work out how much actual nutrition you get dollar for dollar. Five dollars buys one fast food hamburger, or a large amount of nutritious lentils and carrots. Dr. Mason says that unfortunately poor people are poor in everything, not just money, but they are also poor in health and poor in their choices. If you eat any junk food, or smoke cigarettes, realize that you are a slave to the multinational companies. They are living off your work and your body so that they can be rich. And, of course, they are killing you while they do it. I was shocked with what I saw on a TV show run by a doctor, that was meant to be about health. This same doctor had done some good work previously telling people to avoid GMOs, and therefore to not eat any dairy that was not organic. But on this particular show, the doctor asked two other doctors to go and find a healthy fast food meal. (Is that possible?) Strangely, only three fast food outfits were chosen for this task; McDonalds, Dominos Pizza and Subway. Nothing else was considered. I wonder if those companies paid for the privilege, just as most authors have to pay tens of thousands of dollars to appear on all the top talk shows? The overweight heart surgeon picked chicken McNuggets. That was unbelievable! There are few things as toxic as McDonalds chicken McNuggets. First of all, there is little chicken in them. They are 56% corn, mostly GMO corn (3), and the chickens are also fed GMOs and other toxic stuff, including their own manure. Then the McNuggets are super heated in toxic oils, so that they are full of trans fats and AGEs. Worst of all, there are a massive total of 38 ingredients, including tertiary butylhydroquinone, a lighter fluid (4). Are chicken McNuggets really food? Moral of this story: Keep an eye on who is benefiting financially when watching any so-called health show. The other doctor chose pizza with pepperoni. Pepperoni is embalmed meat. And this piece came just after a part where the doctor had restaurant insiders admit that pizzas have sugar added to them. If you ever eat any fast food at all, please watch the fabulous movie Super Size Me. While its mostly about McDonalds, many of the lessons learned in this movie apply to all fast food outlets. Even if you have seen this documentary, you may have missed some of the more important points, as I did on first viewing the movie. So I will outline some of them here. In the documentary Morgan Spurlock, writer and director, begins with a court case where two overweight girls, one 14 years old, 410 and 170 lb and the other 19 years old, 56 and 270 lb, sued McDonalds in 2002, for making them fat. The girls ended up losing the court case. But, just in case something like this happened again, in 2004 congress passed the cheeseburger bill which made it illegal for people to sue food companies for making them obese. You see, Congress currently works to protect corporations, not you. The judge said the lawsuit was frivolous because the dangers of eating its food is universally known. Yet, despite this, McDonalds has 30,000 outlets in over 100 countries. 46 million people are served daily, even in hospitals! No wonder obesity is global. The judge further said that if the plaintiffs could show that McDonalds intend for people to eat McDonalds every meal of every day, and that doing so would be reasonably dangerous, they may be able to state a claim. So Morgan decided to go on a diet of nothing but McDonalds food and drink, three times a day, for one month. During the month, he ate everything on the menu. In addition, since most Americans dont get any exercise, he got very little exercise as well. This was ground breaking research because it was being done on a real human in a real-life situation, not just a few rats in a lab. And the research was independent of any large organization that might interfere with the conclusions. Morgan definitely showed that, for him, it was very dangerous. First he visited three medical professionals, including a cardiologist and General Practitioner, as well as an exercise physiologist. His blood pressure was normal and his blood tests were excellent. His general health was determined to be outstanding. The doctors thought that the McDonalds diet would be no big deal. The cardiologist thought that his triglycerides would go up but nothing else would change. The MD thought his cholesterol and weight would probably go up. They were all in for a massive shock, because it did not occur to any of them how bad this diet would be for him, or that it would prove to be incredibly toxic. In fact, it became so toxic that it became life-threatening! Here are some of the results for Morgan after only 30 days: At day 14, two different liver enzymes skyrocketed. One enzyme went from 21 to 130, the other went from 20 to 290. The massive increase in liver enzyme activity showed that the diet was highly toxic. The MD said after just day 14, If someone was doing this with alcohol, they could theoretically wipe out their liver. (Note: If you dont have a functioning liver, you are not going to get rid of fat, assuming you stay alive). At day 21 the MD said after a blood test, For the first time were seeing uric acid elevated. The danger of this is gout and kidney stones. (Note: Gout, a very painful disease of the past is now on the rise). The results for your liver are obscene beyond anything I would have thought.My advice to you, as a physician, is that youve got to stop. Youre pickling your liver. And youre kicking it while its downIf you were an alcoholic, Id say, You are going to die. I guess the doctor did not want to say the obvious on video: That means that McDonalds can kill you. Despite this warning, and feeling chest pains and depressed and moody most of the time, which was unusual for him, Morgan completed the 30-day McDonalds diet. Perhaps most importantly of all for anyone who wants to get thin, he noticed that he got hungry soon after eating. Whereas, when you go on a wheat-free, soy-free, whole-foods plant-based diet, with lots of raw plant food, you will notice that you seldom get hungry. The more totally raw meals you have, the less hungry you will get. In just 30 days, Morgan ate 30 lb of sugar from the food alone, not counting drinks. Thats one pound a day, because nearly everything on the menu has sugar added to it, even the salads. You see, sugar is addictive, and cheap, so that makes good financial sense. During the month, Morgan craved the food more and more, and got massive headaches when he did not eat it. Those are signs of addiction. After the McDonalds diet, Morgan went on a vegan diet to detox (5). It took 8 weeks for his cholesterol and liver to go back to normal. Then he gave up being vegan. It took him 5 months to lose 20 pounds, and another 8 months to lose the last 5 pounds. It was truly amazing and sad that after this fantastic documentary came out, it barely made a difference to any fast food outlets, except that they made a little effort to appear as though they were offering healthier food, by adding a few salads with toxic dressing, but they did little if anything to alter the basic toxic menu items. We have to break the addiction to junk food. Addictive food is high in calories and toxins. Unfortunately, there are two kinds of addiction that we get from fast food. TWO KINDS OF ADDICTION FROM JUNK FOOD Dr. Neal Barnard MD, of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, has this to say (6), Dr. Barnard further explains This chemical addiction is so bad, that scientists found that rats fed nothing but junk food from the supermarket (bacon, sausage, cheese cake etc.) for long enough, not only got obese they voluntarily starved themselves when later offered nothing but healthy food (7). We need to make new laws where addictive food is concerned. As Pediatric Endocrinologist Dr. Robert Lustig says, free speech does not work with addictive substances, especially where children are concerned (8). 2. Emotional addiction You can bet that the junk food companies have something similar. Thats why junk food companies spend so much on advertising to children. They want you to have commands in your brain to eat their food, combined with good feelings from childhood, buried in your mind. For example, the average American child sees a whopping 10,000 ads per year for things to eat and drink. 95% of these ads are for fast food, candy, soft drinks and cereals, none of which are nutritious. Dont go thinking its just McDonalds, either. All junk food and pre-packaged food is contributing to fat gain, because of the toxins and excess calories which they contain. Any food outlet which does not give you a list of all their ingredients is suspect. I am not talking about a chart that says how many calories or grams of fat are in the food, but what is in the food. In fact, even with the list of ingredients, you still dont get to know the quantity of each ingredient. Listen to a quote from the lawsuit against McDonalds: DONT LISTEN TO THE MOUTHPIECES FOR THE CORPORATIONS It broke my heart to watch a young, very overweight 14-year-old girl say about Subway, in Super Size Me, after listening to a speech by Jared; The only solution? Telling people that eating a whole lot of baked wheat and meat will work for them? This is terrible. So many people have big guts from the many toxins in wheat, and whatever else they add to the bread that makes it so fluffy. However, pictures of Jared in 2009 show the weight coming back on (11). That was no surprise to me, since he said he had caffeine and diet drinks, and anyone who lives off a diet of food that is not prepared at home will end up getting toxic, and therefore putting on weight, in the long run. (See my chapter Health is like a bank account). Please, anytime you hear anyone saying that they lost weight from eating a particular brand of food, ask yourself how much money that person makes from telling you that. MOST SCHOOL FOOD IS JUNK FOOD Who profits from junk food? Super Size Me shows an example of one such company, Sodexho, which serves 400 school districts, as well as prisoners. There is one public school in the USA where this is not the case. The Appleton Central High School, Wisconsin, used to have children who were out of control. Children even brought weapons to school. But in 1997. a private group called Natural Ovens installed a healthy lunch program. Fast-food burgers, fries, candy and sodas were replaced with fresh fruit and salads, baked rather than fried meat and whole grain bread and good drinking water arrived. The teachers saw a major change in the children. As reported in a newsletter called Pure Facts, Grades are up, truancy is no longer a problem, arguments are rare, and teachers are able to spend their time teaching. And while they did not mention it, you can bet that these children are not going to have weight problems as serious as those where junk food is the norm. Surprisingly, the cost is about the same. So why arent all schools doing this? Paul Stitt MS, Founder of Natural Ovens Bakery, explains: What a great scam! Get taxpayers to pay for their companies to addict children to their cheap, toxic and fattening junk food, for the rest of the childrens lives! It sure beats advertising. If only accurate muscle testing was taught in all schools. I have found that when I show children, especially small children, how junk food is weakening, rather than just bad for them, they become very committed to not consuming that product any more. Some children like being bad, but no child wants to be weak. (Please see Chapter 12 on kinesiology and muscle testing, for more information). The food industry is an enormous business in the United States. It therefore employs very well-paid lobbyists, who work with the government to make you eat more of their product. I strongly believe that one of the best ways to counteract the effects of the wrong messages we are being sent from big corporations and government, as well as from the addictive toxins in our food, is for each and every person to learn how to do accurate muscle testing of food. Even children as young as 12 years old or less can learn how to do this. Children as young as six years old can be muscle tested. When a person has experienced for themselves how just thinking of a toxic food makes their arms and legs go weak, their brain often finds the extra willpower that is needed to take personal responsibility, and to eat and drink only healthy food instead. Remember, wild animals keep slim by eating the food that nature designed them to eat. Thats what you need to do. You are a herbivore. Eat plants. That is, fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds and legumes, as unprocessed as possible. And also have as much raw food as possible. People need to learn new ways of shopping and preparing food. Please see my shopping list in this book. Learn how to prepare food by going to the Internet and searching for a vegan and/or raw recipe for the food you bought. The recipes in this book will give you a good place to start. And boycott the Food Mafia whenever you can.

3	Report: Russian Marines Battle ISIS In Syria, IS Possesses Satellite Imagery Of BaseBy Brandon Turbeville According to Russian news website, Segodnia, ISIS militants attempted to ambush the Russian soldiers stationed at the base but were fought off by the Russian marines, with a number of ISIS fighters being killed and some captured. Russian military activity has been increasing at the airbase near Latakia over recent days with the arrival of new and advanced Russian fighter jets, according to reports. Combat between Russian forces and ISIS militants marks a drastic increase in the level of conflict in Syria, adding an even greater international aspect to it as well. With Russia now openly providing the Assad government with missiles, missile defense systems, advisers, helicopters, satellite imagery, and fighter jets (particularly those being flown by Russian pilots), the Russians now stand directly in opposition to the United States pilots, jet fighters, and special forces operatives on the ground in Syria supporting the death squads (even if the official U.S. line is publicly opposed to ISIS and supportive of moderate cannibals). Thus, we now have the growing potential for direct military confrontation between the two major world powers, both of them armed with nuclear weapons. The United States has supported terrorists in Syria since the very beginning of the conflict while the Russians have provided tangential but growing support for the secular government of Bashar al-Assad. The fact that Russians are now engaged in combat in Syria now greatly increases the likelihood that the two opposing superpowers may accidentally or even intentionally find themselves in direct conflict with one another in Syria. Yet, while the Russian marines fighting off ISIS attacks is news enough, perhaps the most important revelation is that, according to Segodnia, the ISIS fighters apparently had detailed plans of the base as well as clear satellite imagery of the military installations located there. The question then becomes, how did ISIS, a terrorist organization which has yet to launch its own satellites into orbit, acquire such sensitive and important material? If the Segodnia report is to be believed, and with the United States, NATO, Israel, and the GCC, having supported the death squads in Syria, it seems we may have some idea of where they were able to procure satellite images.

In an interview, Sibel Edmonds described her encounters with affluent Russian tourists she encountered this summer in Turkey. She said they were convinced by the Russian media that ISIS is an overwhelming terror threat. No mention by these tourists ISIS is a CIA construct. Thus Russia is playing the same game with ISIS the western globalists are of using this intelligence-created terror group to support the security state and fear based control. The tea leaves tell us most likely one of the major goals behind the creation of ISIS is to foster a widespread view of the need for a global military force to combat this artificially created terror threat. Other goals obviously include (1) chaos and destruction in the middle east to create new regional body or bodies (New Middle East Project), and (2) fan the flames of a global boogeyman to rationalize a global prison planet with 1984-style 24/7 monitoring and surveillance (with China leading the way). Expect a likely MSM blizzard of statesmanship and dramatic posturing in the weeks and months to come reassuring the sheeple their leaders in the Matrix are strong and wise and should be trusted. Perhaps but then, as I said above, I am losing my skepticism of Putin. He may be a real enemy of the money-changers. Why did he publicly call for IMF intervention in Ukraine? Putin has said the rise of regional governments is a necessary step for the creation of bricks building the new economic order. He was behind the false flags in Russia blamed on Chechens and no doubt ordered the radioactive polonium poisoning of whistle blower Alexander Litvinenko. Under Putins reign, it was apparently Russian intelligence that made sure the entire Polish executive branch was finished off when their plane was taken down following their rejection of IMF dictates. Consider what we learned from Antony Sutton: the international banksters effectively created the Soviets and continued to support them with technology even during the Vietnam war when the Soviets were supplying the Vietnamese with weapons and other forms of aid. Theres no way TPTB engineered Russias deep capture long ago and then let it slip away. Russia is NWO, implementing Agenda 21, Smart Grid and Smart Cities, its also economically interdependent with the west. The BRICS bank system is intimately tied to the IMF. We are being played on the international stage just as we are on the domestic one. As I said, I am beginning to lose my skepticism His indebtedness to the Master Race banksters is as troubling as his former KGB status and the other problems you properly observe. I am not ready to canonize him, but I am beginning to believe he is going through a Christian conversion of heart, his own Road to Emmaus. I will be cautious while we keep watch Pardon me sir but I have worked with the architects of the BRICS since it was the 4 powers + 1 agreement and I will be able to prove and debate that it is explicitly anti-IMF policy from what weve seen post JFK. The west tried to state that the BRICS is not needed due to the IMF. Putin and China essentially retorted with any country that has listened to IMF constitutionality has gone through massive depopulation and economic decline. Putin called for IMF intervention because the west overthrew the government of Ukraine that allied with the BRICS. As a result he stated for them to take over and actually help the Ukranians then. Just like he is doing with ISIS, he is calling the west out. Until you call the paid US terrorist regime Isis by its real name of Daesh you are sort of bating against the wall. Like a retarded msm pawn. ISISrael .. is the true name. Carolingian please for the love of everything holy before you call other people retarded realize that your own comment is factually incorrect. No, they do not call themselves DAESH. Im sorry you heard some Arab call them Daesh and now you think it the real name. Its not. Its a deragotory term used to describe them by Arabs which is an acronym of one of their group names. People like you who think they know what is going on, are rude, make fun of others, but are actually quite factually incorrect in their views are part of what is wrong with America. Please stop being a baby boomer and deflate that ego of yours before it gets you in trouble. You dont want to look this stupid in real life in front of someone. To see the global Technocracy endgame, one must put aside rhetoric (as with domestic politics) and look at how the elites are connected and what they are proposing in white papers and think tanks that is not for public consumption. There is an N-dimensional chess aspect few have the time or resources to research. The few alt media types with the intellect and wherewithall able to investigate this conundrum are people like James Corbett and the blogger Ken who posts on redefininggod(dot)com. For instance, a few months ago Ken found that an IMF Executive Director is also a Vice President of the BRICS bank. He also posted a UN document stating the BRICS bank is a DREAM COME TRUE (i.e. for Rockefeller, Rothschild, et al.) There are also documents written in years past from the likes of IMF / BIS strategists discussing the desirability of a BRICS-like banking consortium being formed. The is classic HEGELIAN DIALECTIC. It doesnt make sense that Putin is only now getting around to military intervention in Syria. If he truly was resisting the NWO agenda and not another puppet he would have used Russias military might to CRUSH ISIS at the very beginning. As the former head of the KGB and with access to vast amounts of international intelligence as the Russian head of state, he had to know the west was setting up another Operation Cyclone and merely using Syria as a staging grounds. But if ISIS hadnt become a horror and Syria a tragedy, Russian intervention would have made them a pariah. Now, they are roundly applauded (except by neocons). Clinton was supposedly a three-dimensional chess player. Putin is four-dimensional. Obama checkers ;) Putin let Obama blunder about into disaster, and is coming in at just the right time. You havent fully grasped the importance of what Antony Sutton taught us. If we cant see we are being manipulated with elaborate theatrical displays of aggression (strategy of tension, Hegelian dialectics), then dangerous blind spots will form. This blind spot is precisely why apparently no alt media writers were able to predict very early on that the Syria confrontation was set up to be primarily a staging grounds for a bigger version of Operation Cyclone. I personally saw this coming and believe it would have been easy enough for others to see the same except for massive smoke being blown by the MSM and controlled op. The game is Orwellian (1984s superstates meme) creating faux rivals to control the masses. Its classic and it works on most people. BTW, Obama is merely a puppet. The international banksters are the controllers, of all sides now. Read Suttons works. Give me a link for the guy and Ill look into it. I often predict things myself. The day Glass-Steagall was repealed, with cheers by Clinton and Both parties, I predicted the oncoming financial disaster in my newsletter. Took ten years to unfold, but if I saw it why didnt Rhodes scholar Bill see it? Is that Antony or Anthony? Antony isnt as common. Great catch on the Glass-Steagall act repeal, my head was buried in science text books at the time. BTW, it was Trilateralist and top banking henchman Larry Summers along with Rubin who spearheaded the repeal. Professor Antony Sutton, an academic and fellow at Stanfords Hoover Institute, coincidentally, wrote the definitive book examining the rise of the Trilateralists (in the Carter admin), titled Trilateralists Over Washington. Sutton wrote this with his younger protege Patrick Wood. Wood is sounding the alarm on Technocracy and explaining how the global system is forming. Back to Summers, it was Summers who went to Russia after its economy imploded in the mid-90s to oversee the privatization process thus creating a neofeudal globalist system (Deep Capture) with most of the capital in the hands of 8 internationalist oligarchs. Sutton did extensive heavily documented research showing how the US/western plutocrats financed and aided the rise of Hitler and the Russian communists. He also wrote a book on the Skull and Bones crowd, how they used the dialectic in the US. In the link, he is being interviewed by Dr. Stanley Monteith (an orthopedic surgeon). Monteith was a powerhouse in his own right, passed away last year. This just scratches the surface youtube(dot)com/watch?v=j3vZNSAi-QM Some of Suttons most books are: Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution; Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler; Wall Street and FDR; Americas Secret Establishment an Introduction to the Order of Skull and Bones; and The Best Enemies Money Can Buy. youtube.com/watch?v=j3vZNSAi-QM Heres one more link. Its the always brilliant James Corbett using Suttons research framework to make a very convincing case that the rise of China has been a global elite NWO project. These examples illustrate an extremely old and consistently successful modus operandi. Not a pariah, rather a hero for helping Syria early on in the conflict quickly and decisively routing out a particularly barbaric and blood thirsty group of terrorists with links to our supposed nemesis, Al Qaeda, responsible for 9/11 (as the fairy tale goes). It would have been a cakewalk. Why didnt they do it? From the Matrix world of international rules, Russia was obliged and welcomed to act if Syria merely requested its assistance. The applause is Kabuki theater, as you probably know as an selfnews Post reader that the neocons and neoliberals are working the same endgame paradigm global totalitarian technocracy with constant biometric surveillance and monitoring. Its the same good cop vs bad cop show on the geopolitical stage. ISIS was designed to prop up the security state, defense spending, fear based control memes, and to manufacture consent for world government and a global military and police force. CMRedwood, it is all actually very simple and straight forward. The mighty military complex sustained by the stupid American Russia have been completely in the grip of this rapacious parasite since 1917 and sure it would be difficult to tear that thing out their system but Putin does appear to be much I wholeheartedly agree the apex globalists captured the US and built it up as a military hegemon to achieve their long term agenda and that is world government run by the international banksters. Carefully analyzing statements from Putin and the style of US mainstream media coverage of Putin, it is clear he is participating in elaborate geopolitical theater designed by those same rapacious parasites who have IQs substantially higher than the worlds leaders. There is a good reason controlled opposition alt media (like Jones) is pushing the new cold war meme hard and that is TPTB are eager to create scapegoats for the consumption of the American public to excuse the coming transition to a global currency. The end of the nation state model is a priority paradigm being slowly rolled out. Thats why the WSJ recently floated a trial balloon column by Peggy Noonan describing a powerful mover and shaker asserting the United States could very well be carved up in the not too distant future. The Rothschild owned The Economist ran an article in June on the fragility of Russia and it likely fracturing. As well, another article described the massive corruption and instability in China (an absolute NWO technocracy) that will result in its fracturing. The Agenda 21 prison planet model is gearing up and China is well ahead of the US with Russia adopting Smart Grid and building Smart Cities under Agenda 21 guidelines. The only ones who will save us from the apex globalist will be fully awakened activists working together. There is much you arent aware of. Well, there is complexity and apparent chaos in the unravelling You may be right that Putin is just another sock puppet in I agree that Putin will not be the saviour against this malignancy. Malignancy is a very apt term. Problem is, its wrapped up in a glossy techno mask that offers convenience, security, entertainment, and seductive narratives. Not many can see it for what it is. A good dose of Bolshevik history quickly washes off the Putin was a lieutenant colonel in the KGB and was active in East Germany, where Putin and his colleagues were reduced mainly to collecting press clippings, thus contributing to the mountains of useless information produced by the KGB. Former agents estimate they spent three-quarters of their time writing reports. Putins biggest success in his stay in Dresden appears to have been in[contacting] a U.S. Army Sergeant, who sold them an unclassified Manual for 800 marks. He resigned during the KGB coup which ousted the Communist leadership and has since called communism a blind alley. Since he never had a high position in the KGB and resigned 24 years ago, it is unlikely that his role has any significance in todays environment. Since he was elected in 2000, the GDP has tripled (the current decline of 6% after a rise of 300% in 15 years must be seen in that context) and wages have doubled. Russia today, without dispute, is more prosperous and democratic than ever in its history. All progress is relative. Please note that Dale Ruff trolls selfnews Post to aggressively shout down skeptics of the Establishments position on climate change. He thinks mandatory vaccinations are fine and criticizes skeptics of official vaccine scientism. He also harasses threads on Geoengineering, saying there is no such thing as a chemtrail, we are all delusional. He believes the UN blueprint for human rights (which emphasizes collectivism over individual liberties) is perfect and he never ever criticizes the globalist Rockefellers but the globalist Kochs are fair game (see the dialectic here?). Notice how he attacks generally held understandings of Putins past that are not recorded in the official academic record but he COMPLETELY ignores the far more important work done by Sutton. Just as not many Americans know about Antony Suttons critically important research, few will dig even deeper to understand the Deep State here or anywhere else. Using Dales logic, we all should accept the official fairy tale of 9/11 because the experts in almighty government and academia dont challenge the Big Lies. Anyone who sides with this domineering, ever more Well, Washington DC is officially stooge valley. The place where a corporate bill can be introduced and it can only be viewed in a secret chamber! Or a bill is to be voted on by the cluster of sociopathic imbeciles and they are not allowed to see what the bill is all about! Any normal person would cringe to be associated with this bunch of suited simians. Youre absolutely correct about the TPP, what a travesty and a nightmare. The increasing totalitarian stance on vaccines is also terrifying, we are getting slammed from all sides. Im a medical scientist by profession and I have witnessed group think and institutional blindness but never imagined we would get to the point, in my lifetime, where people in this country are going to be forcibly injected or else! BTW, a lot of people in congress know what the endgame is, they arent really that dumb, thats a persistent psy op. As for Dale, all I can do to thwart professional level disinfo is to share insights that in the end make the attempted disinfo backfire. Sometimes it works and others pass on the knowledge thats how I learned most of what I know from light bearers I encountered 12 years ago when I fully woke up. Not that it matters much, but I should clarify that Dale does not argue against 9/11 truth per se, what little he admits to is there are questionable aspects. If he didnt say that, he would be badgered and lose all credibility because he knows that our litmus test. What I meant was when Dale argues for the Establishment position, he uses an appeal to authority and scientific consensus or expert elitism as though good old common sense cant figure out 2 + 2 does not equal 5. Look how many people swallowed the JFK assassination magic bullet story in the Warren Commission report. Most people will believe anything the authorities or experts tell them. Boggles my mind. It should be seen as pretty obvious that Putin called for IMF intervention, simply because BRICS was not going to be a device used by the west to launder money out of the Ukraine. The only thing more absurd than the BRICS getting involved in the Ukraine would be for the BRICS to bail out Greece. They might as well just give their money to the IMF Troika and friends. Brandon Smith has posted a couple of articles on selfnews Post explaining Russias long held ties with the international banking mafia to include the IMF. Smith provided additional evidence Russias rulers have been ideologically supportive of the NWO. It is understood both the Bank of China and Bank of Russia are Rothschild controlled central banks. Zhou Xiaochuan, the head of BofC is a member of the influential Rockefeller central banking organization Group of 30. Rockefeller = Rothschild. If you only skim the surface of geopolitics and dont consider historical perspective or follow the money and bedfellows, youll never see the big picture. corbettreport (dot) com/episode-297-china-and-the-new-world-order/ Doesnt Rothschild own banks in all countries in the world, except 3: North Korea, Cuba, Iran? Good point, thanks. AFAIK, the only exception is North Korea at this point. Ive come across newer lists of Rothschild controlled banks (presumably via BIS direct and indirect involvement) include Iran and Cuba. This makes sense given major political and economic shifts of Iran and Cuba towards the globalization model over the last 7 years or so. By 2008, Iran was overtly privatizing public assets and opened the door to multinational investment in the country, openly courting big globalist institutions. President Rouhani was no doubt pre-selected for office (the way our presidential candidates are) owing to his emphasis on moving Iran further into the global neoliberal economic model to include the implementation IMF economic reform guidelines. Check out Rothschilds cunning use of trust funds and intermediary companies to disguise ownership and involvement in business. Youre right, Syria has long been a shining example of stability, secular government, inclusiveness, and cultural modernity. Compared to the barbarisms common in Saudi Arabia and other socially backward countries, Libya was a model developing country, even Iraq was more evolved. Thus, TPTB fan the flames of extremism to do their dirty work. Meanwhile, in Saudi Arabia obedient princes are working behind the scenes to liberalize KSA one tiny mouse step at a time. A good example being the inclusion of women in governmental policy boards that were formerly all male. Saudi Arabia took the lead in 2011 to begin the formation of the Gulf Cooperation Council, the first regional government system that seeks to harmonize laws and culture, and develop a common currency (not unlike the Euro, or the proposed Amero). This is staging for the final build out of the NWO paradigm. Would rather have BRICS own Greece and establish military bases there than the EU. BRICS = IMF = BIS = Rothschild and Rockefeller NWO. The last thing we need is any more NWO military bases. All that is evil is comes from Putin. The evidence is that it is repeated endlessly. All that is centralized totalitarian control starts at the top of the pyramid of power international banksters. Now why would a disinfo agent likely connected to the SPLC take an interest in a minor thread on geopolitical tyranny? Perhaps the same reason this same agent sees fit to bash critics of geoengineering, vaccinations, and the Establishments climate change paradigm. Yes, you endlessly take on the mantra that only the robed priests of official scientism can speak the truth. When challenged why these same priests sanction Big Lies on false flag attacks and Big Pharma poisons using the cover of expert opinions you suddenly go silent. Why the inconsistency? TPTB will only lie to us about some things and not others. Is that right? Yes, you endlessly take on the mantra that only the robed priests of official scientism can speak the truth. When challenged why these same priests sanction Big Lies on false flag attacks an d Big Pharma poisons using the cover of expert opinions you suddenly go silent. Why the inconsistency? TPTB will only lie to us about some things and not others. Is that right? When it comes to global warming,there is a 99% consensus, based o n empirical data, of scientist(calling them robed priests is propaganda rhetoric) from 180 nations and no logical reason why they would all lie. In addition, the Koch funded Berkeley Earth Project, meant to expose the fakery in the data, found instead that it was solid. When it comes to GMO and glyphosate, there is a clear case of Monsanto and biotech controlling the research (ie funding friendly research and conducting an progaganda attack on unfriendly research, as well as a large element of independent research which demonstates the toxicity of GMO food production technniques. So, yes, I make a distinction between science which is controlled by corporate (profit) interests and independent scientific studies. With global warming, there is ZERO scientific research which refutes the fact of empirical data which proves the earth is warming, nor is there any other logical explanation than human activity. So I reject your loaded rhetoric and either/or logic. The 10,000 climate scientists from over 150 nations all have secure professions and there is zero evidence that any of them are frauds. The GMO research picture is quite different, with Monsanto having a revolving door with the USDA and a huge propaganda machine to attack the research by independent scientists which exposes the dangers of glypohosate, etc. As a well-educated person with highly developed critical thinking skills, I feel very competent to make such distinctions. The fact that in some cases, such as biotech, that the industry has tried (but not succeeded) to control the research does not demonsrtate that in other areas that scientists are controlled by corporations or some nefarious government agenda (this would have to apply to all nations on earth). There were dishonest scientists who worked for tobacco to back up claims that tobacco was harmless, but, as happens in science, the honest science finally won out. With GMOs,the reliable independent research is winning out as more and more nations reject the claim that GMO production is harmless. Over several centuries, the attempts to exploit science to promote fraudulent claims have all lost, whether in Soviet genetics or US tobacco studies. Science is self-correcting, so that when it does err, it is corrected not by political leaders or committees but by other scientists, seeking to make a name by pointing out bad science. This system, which is controlled by no one and run by the worlds scientists themselves, has always corrected itself. We know today that since 1977, Exxon studies had concluded that global warming was real and that it was being caused by burning fossil fuels. A decade later, they began to spend millions (like the Koch brothers and other oligarchs) to create public confusion to block regulation. So we have a choice: we can reject corporate claims (including corporate denunciations of independent studies) and corporate propaganda..or we put our trust in science, fully aware that sometimes science goes awry but equally aware that it always corrects itself. Your use of loaded rhetoric suggests to me that you have replaced rational thought and critical thinking with language designed to influence otherwise known as propaganda. You conflate TPTB with the10,000 independent climate scientists from over 150 nations. I suggest you have zero evidence for that equation. Sometimes the government lies; sometimes it does not. Thats where I stand, with the independent scientists who have exposed the dangers of GMO food produition methods and with the independent scientists who unanimously agree there is indisputable empirical evidence for global warming. You make reasonable points, however, you still do not admit to the problem of group think among tightly knit professionals. If sheer numbers were the deciding factor of legitimacy, then the vote earlier this year by 96% of the members of the American Institute of Architects to REJECT a resolution supporting a new investigation into the collapse of WTC Bldg 7 would force us to conclude that NISTs bizarre and elaborate rationalizations that small office fires and debris from the trade towers brought down WTC 7 at near free fall speed in perfect symmetry into its own footprint must be correct. Nothing to see here, move on. Buildings are that fragile and 3892 architects dont give a ___ to find out why doesnt strike you as cognitive dissonance? You must know the more educated a person is the more elaborate their rationalizations. Moreover, I would argue a direct comparison of climate science and GMOs is an apples to oranges scenario given the extreme sub specialization of climate science compared to wide ranging interested parties in genetic engineering able to understand the basics of the technology and potential risks to health and the environment. Less compartmentalization translates into lower tendencies to fall into group think. I dealt with what you call group think (which in the case of science is not really appropriate since it implies lack of critical thinking) by noting how science, even when perverted by government and/or corporate interests (ideological/profits) is self-correcting. There are no cases in many centuries where science did not find its perversions exposed by other scientists and corrected. The process continues. The issue is not sheer numbers but an acceptance of empirical data. There is within scientific method a democratic element, which means the self-correction of science is ruled not by state bureaus or even scientific committees but by the process of peer-review pre and post publication, and the incentive of young scientists to find flaws in accepted ideas. Democracy in the end assumes that numbers do matter, but not mere numbers but overwhelming consensus of experts who spend their lives doing peer-reviewed research. The vote of architects on 9/11 is not an apt analogy. Architects are not scientists; they do not undergo peer-review, and they are almost all employed by corporations, whose interest is not objective knowledge but profits. I personally do not accept the official narrative about any aspect of 9/11 but that is not a courageous stand since the 9/11 Commission itself has documented that the government lied to them. In addition, there are thousands of engineers and architects and scientists who refute the conclusions of the government and the American Institute of Architects. As I said, science is not ruled by committees or institutes but by peer-review of experts. You apples/oranges argument regarding climate science and GMOs makes no sense to me. What counts, always is the existence of independent research based on empirical evidence, no matter in what field. I would also suggest that genetics is probably as much or more specialized than climate science. That is not the issue: the only issue is independent research. In the case of climate science, all climate scientists accept global warming as a fact and over 97% accept there is no other logical explanation than human activity. The 3% who dissent simply say they are not certain human activity is the cause, while they also accept the empirical fact that the earth is warming. Your premise of compartmentalization as a tendency to create group think collapses for two reasons: 1) lack of evidence that climate science is so specialized that a simple question based on empirical data such as Is the Earth Warming cannot be anwered. It can and it has. 2) The assumption that when scientists who do research in a field find they consistently reach the same conclusion are guilty of group think. Scientific consensus of independent researchers who have done their own studies is the opposite of group think, which implies a mindless conformity. The consensus of physicists on the universal force of gravity or of climate scientists on the indisputable factual proof of global warming is not mindless conformity or a result of peer pressure. If anything, scientists are very competitive and seek out opportunities to find flaws in established theories rather than to fit in as tho they were mindless robots. I reject your argument based on the fact that in every case, science has corrected itself when wrong and the lack of any evidence that climate scientists are frauds, sell-outs, or conformists. If you have evidence, you should present it. I cannot accept your logic that specialization leads to group think. Science is the least groupthink enterprise on earth. Young scientist can make their careers by revealing flaws in the theories of established scientists, and this is a dynamic which, along with peer-review, forms the process of constant self-correction which explains why science has itself, without outside control, corrected itself for many centuries. Physics and structural engineering are foundational to modern day architectural design. NIST is most definitely a scientific institution. Fourteen years after 9/11 there has still been no scientific self correction to the absurd official story for the collapse of the three WTC buildings, particularly WTC 7. You are mistaken to think it takes a highly specialized education in genetics to comprehend the potential hazards of genetically engineered organisms. Anyone with the equivalent knowledge of an undergraduate degree in biology is literate enough to research and understand the inherent dangers. Regardless of formal education, a well read person who takes the time to acquire some basic background knowledge can get up to speed too. You still cling to a scientific elitism approach that fits neatly into Technocracy ideology, with climate change and mandatory vaccinations being two cornerstones. Club of Rome? Even if AGW is a significant or dominant variable in climate change, why should the further centralization of fascist power be the solution? Sure, a shift towards a local balancing of resources and ending the banksters hyperconsumption model is the way to go, with complete transparency and BOTTOM UP control, not top down, the model Catherine Austin Fitts attempted to create before she was shut down by TPTB. If we werent deliberately dumbed down and pitted against each other domestically and internationally (Sutton was indeed brilliant), wed already be there. Frankly, with your education and the amount of time you seem to have, I cant imagine why you would want to harass anti-government corruption types on selfnews Post rather than spearheading a rebellion against fascist power grabs such as the TPP. The only logical conclusion is you support the NWO / Global Technocracy. Reducing greenhouse emissions is hardly fascist. You are deluded Clearly, you did not look at the Berkeley Earth Project, which proved all the govt data on climate is accurate. Hold tight to your propaganda, friend. Germany didnt want to impose economic sanctions on Russia: Germans are thankful to Russian people who allowed the reunification of two Germanies! Germans do not want more wars! But, US and Croatia havent learned their lessons from own own history. Now, the US destroy sistematically all countries that are prosperious! Libya was the most prosperious country in Africa where millions of Black Africans where able to work and send money homes; Libya nourrished the half of Africa and was a most important stability element; Iraq was the most prosperious country in the region thanks to its oil; Yugoslavia was the most prosperous country with the original economic system where the wealth was shared among workes it worked and people lived like kings. The secret war against Germany has been started : Accurate observations BUT a word of caution: 1 Timothy 6:10 Desire of money is evil. But possession of it (like Putin does in spades) is not. If acquired by noble means and if not used to manipulate people. Money is used as a tool by some to get people to do things they wouldnt normally do wars, prostitution, stealing, selling nefarious goods such as drugs, work 8 hours every day. The need for money gets people to betray their own values. Its really nothing less than modern day slavery. Money, to some, is a harsh slave master; to others its a god. The irony is, nobody ever has enough even the richest man on the planet. Very true and why absolute control is the next Big Fix for TPTB. Hence, the rise of the Orwellian police state that monitors and tracks our every move with the ultimate goal of micromanaging all aspects of our lives. Its extremely dehumanizing and we are largely bringing it upon ourselves by going along with their seductive paradigms. According to all anti-Russian propaganda media, Putin has stolen 200 billion from the Russian people (whose wages have doubled under his leadership),making him the richest man on earth. The Russian people, who support him by 85% (the highest in the world) and who in 2012 became for the first time citizens of a high income nation, are too stupid to believe the anti-Russian propaganda media. With a salary of just over $150,000 a year, its hard to figure how he accumulated 200 billion, but the evidence is overwhelming: all anti-Putin propaganda media confirm he is the richest man on earth. Dale is a Harvard educated political science wonk and he cant fathom how the global elite (including Putin) can acquire far more money off the books working as minions for the International Bankster Mafia? How do you think Dale explains the black budget and the over 8 TRILLION missing from the Pentagons budget? Two dimensional geopolitics is for the hopelessly naive and professional disinfo. Pipeline Yeah, I know about the geopolitical importance of the pipelines. I believe the big global mafia players already negotiated this aspect. Theres a fair amount of western and Russian economic integration that has been growing rapidly the past few years to include mutual ownership investment in large oil and gas companies the globalist term interdependence. Weve been waiting for long time. Soon, it will be over. He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. In view of his former KGB status, I have long been skeptical of Putin, but I am beginning to lose my skepticism. I now see him as the consummate insider who goes off the reservation taking all his insider knowledge enabling him to stay one step ahead of the NWO/JWO. Could this be why the tribe struggles to vilify Putin? Remember Saul? He was a much earlier tribal insider who went off the reservation to became St. Paul ruining the tribes earlier plans. judaism101.proboards dot com Kabuki theater, not unlike the Bushes and Clintons, RINOs and DINOs. BTW, Corbett produced a brilliant podcast on how the global elite built up China (China and the NWO). He explained how the offspring of the Chinese Communist revolutionaries, so called Eight Immortals, went on to become the fabulously wealthy and powerful princes of the new economy. I understand the same phenomenon has taken place in Russia whereby the children of the top ranking Soviet era communist leaders have become extremely wealthy and powerful. Coincidence? What are the odds? corbettreport (dot) com/episode-297-china-and-the-new-world-order/ Indeed, through the centuries, one of the most profitable tricks of the Master Race has been the instigation of conflict. As I said, I have long been a skeptic of the theatre played out on the phony political landscape. I am well-aware that Satan has many accomplices and many tricks. I am not pushing for Putins canonization, but I am allowing for the possibility that Gods graces are working in Putin. Neither you nor I have the charism of reading hearts, minds, or souls, so let us together keep watch of Putin and other potential and real threats on the world stage. Data is always welcome. Well, Armageddon was supposed to start in the Middle East. Our leaders are certainly working hard on that. No man left behind will be difficult to follow when the SF man is gone in a flash. As for sat maps misdirection n misinfo intelligence. Probably supplied by putin himself after adequate photoshop touch ups. The russian images are equal to ours so theyre aware of how to disguise equipment from FLIR heat signatures. We fabricate equip parameters also. As a goof in security field on an occasion of joviality we heated up a room to 110F to see if the human signature would be detected by the alarm sensors beam breaking x2 or more. The sensors were blind and didnt alarm. LOL As for glass break hi freq sensors the pros duc tape the glass before breaking theyve even taped styrofoam to the windows and it muffled the hifreq audio parameter the device is listening for. Those are just minor players with limited budgets think about what a state player can do. The Russians may be lying. But after WMDs and Kuwaiti incubator babies, I trust the NY Times and WaPo even less. YIKES.someone needs to answer for this how did ISIS, a terrorist organization which has yet to launch its own satellites into orbit, acquire such sensitive and important material? How does a landlocked organization in a desert get endless supplies and ammunition? Its a Logistical Miracle of Allah ;) Interesting article. You have a point about not really knowing who is who and what is what. We are forced to rely on various media outlets which set the meme. My source for my reference to Daesh from the Boston Globe. The OCTOBER 09, 2014 article headline which read: Words matter in ISIS war, so use Daesh Interesting in the UK article you reference they say not to use the word. Its almost as if somebody wants to keep us all ~confused. Youre probably right. Isis is, of course, an ancient Mesopotamian Goddess. Shh, Dont tell the Islamists that ;) Are we becoming the bad guys , or just stupid ? I think annex is a Western MSM canard. It was a free plebiscite (same as Scotland) by a Russian majority terrified of the KIev Nazis who raised Kill Russians flags. And unlike Kiev, not one person was killed. Crummy annexation when no one was shot, IMHO. Not just an ally, Syria is a satellite of Russia. Theres no way Russia would have not helped Syria route out the jihadists when they first appeared. It would have been an easy task and lauded on the international stage as a decisive battle against terrorism. Instead, this situation was allowed to metastasize and become more dangerous when a consortium of western and middle eastern globalist minions and Israel(!), led the by CIA, of course, worked TOGETHER to arm, train, fund, provide MASH-units style health care and recruits to the jihadists being groomed to become ISIS. Yet not ONE word about this shameful development from Syrian and Russian officials to the international press. Eventually the alt media began a steady deconstruction and then the Establishment narrative changed again to rationalize aiding moderate Al Qaeda jihadists. That would be logical if the world operated the way talking heads on television tells us it does. How could the global elite do their dirty work if the average person knew what they were up to behind the curtain? They love the Hegelian dialectic.

3	Is This a Joke? British Police Push for Ban on Pointy KnivesJoshua Krause Except its not a joke anymore. You only need to take a look at the headlines in Britain to witness the absurdity of knife control at its best. The new Save a Life Surrender Your Knife program is in full swing and police are telling us that they have joined forces with an already growing trend in the United Kingdom to banpointy knives. Lancashire Policetell us that an amnesty program began at the end of August, and more than 800 knives have been handed in across the county including swords, machetes and commando knives. The amnesty was extended for a further week owing to its success, Lancashire Police representatives explained. The Lancashire department explains that their officers have now given their backing to a national initiative designed to raise awareness of knife crime and encourage the surrender of dangerous weapons. In spite ofthe amnesty ending this week, police tell us thatpeople can continue to hand in any knife at any police station with a front counter as well being able to drop them into the designated bins. In the United States, the gun buyback program is a classic example of a nanny state successfully cowing members of the population into giving up their weapons. Only a completely lobotomized population would stand in line all day for the privilege of being disarmed by the local police. Never in my wildest dreams would I have guessed that someday a similar program would be used to collect knives as well. Unfortunately, the absurdity of the situation doesnt end there. Weve been delighted with the response so far, but our communities have told us that they want an end to knife crime and that they want to work with us to make that happen. A call from the British Medical Journal was published several years ago, arguing that many assaults are committed impulsively, prompted by alcohol and drugs, and a kitchen knife often makes an all too available weapon, according to the BBC. Knife crime? Is that what theyre calling it? You cant just refer to it as a violent crime, or a crime of passion. Apparently knives are special and scary. I had no idea that there was such a big difference between being murdered with a knife and being murdered with a cricket bat, or a crowbar. What if in another 20 years, theyre asking you to turn in all blunt objects that are capable of bludgeoning someone? After that theyll ask you to turn in your shoelaces so you dont hang yourself. I imagine most people wouldnt want to live in a world where literally everything can be dangerous, therefore, everything is illegal. If you think Im exaggerating, take a look at the Facebook page for the Lancashire Police Department. They subtly hint at their true intentions. While projects encouraging the surrender of knives are not a single solution to violence, they have an important role to play in inspiring communities to get behind education and preventative measures. You cant laugh about it. Its not a joke anymore. There is no longer any limit to what can be controlled and regulated. Most people would have laughed hysterically if you told them there would be calls for knife control someday. And not just butterfly knives and switchblades, but apparently, anything that is pointy. Researchers consulted 10 top chefs from around the UK, and found such knives have little practical value in the kitchen. None of the chefs felt such knives were essential, since the point of a short blade was just as useful when a sharp end was needed. I just I dont know what to say. Should I laugh or should I cry? OK Britain, we need to talk. Lets call it an intervention. I know Americans arent perfect, and sometimes people from other countries with different perspectives can look at our culture and tell us hey, what youre doing there is pretty bad. The rampant prescription drug abuse, the overflowing prisons, the income inequality all that stuff. We certainly have problems, and sometimes it takes someone from the outside to look at it and tell us how bad it is. But in this case, I think we know what were talking about. Youve got a serious problem. Youre no longer trying to make people safer. Youre building a prison around them, and youre out of control. Once you ran out of guns to confiscate, you started taking away the cutlery. Are you insane? Do you have some impulsive desire to be disarmed? Do your people feel the need to embrace weakness and collectivism? Whatever it is, I hope you find help soon. Because as an American looking at this from the outside, you look and sound completely mad. I know theres still a lot of awesome freedom loving Brits out there.

2	He Saw This In The Distance, Did A Double Take, Then RAN For His Life This man experienced something that most would overlook and subsequently die from. He was in Hungary, and saw fog approaching. Most would think nothing of it. However, the temperature is so cold that the fog freezes everything it comes into contact with. If a human gets caught it in, they instantly freeze to death. Fog isnt very common in Hungary, but when it comes, it is a force to be reckoned with. If you ever see fog in an extremely cold place, run. Or you might not live to tell the tale. Have you ever seen anything like this? 
2	Muslim Woman Finally Agrees To Remove Burka In Court Room, Jude Delivers BRUTAL Justice To Her Face According to recent reports from Mad World News, a woman who accused a man of a racist and Islamophobic attack got into it with the judge after she refused to remove her face covering in court. When she finally agreed to remove her veil, the judge gave her some very bad news. Amira Behari, 43, told the court that the accused and had called her an a**hole, adding you dont belong here. She could not comply with German law by removing her face covering because of her faith. I have a god at the end of the world who will see me right at the end, she commented. I will not do this. In accordance with the law, Judge Thomas Mueller told Behari in a Munich courtroom that if she didnt remove the veil, she would be fined and could serve prison. When she refused, Mueller claimed that he had no choice but to acquit the accused. Muellers decision enraged Behari and her supporters in the crowd. Prosecutors demanded a retrial, and won the right to another hearing. This time, Behari appeared in front of a female judge. Again, she refused to remove her veil. Thats when Judge Claudia Bauer gave her the same optionremove her veil so that she could confirm her identity or withdraw her face. Finally, she removed her face covering and allowed the court to see her face. But she didnt get the news she was hoping for. Judge Bauer told Behari that her evidence was insufficient, and that the man she accused of racism was going to be acquitted once more. What do you think of this story? Did Behari get what she deserved for refusing to comply with the law? 
2	What Michelle Obama Did For The Iranian New Year Will Make You ABSOLUTELY Sick [VIDEO] Recently, the White House made the controversial decision to organize a party to celebrate Nowruz, the Iranian New Year. The incident begs the question, why isnt the White House organizing parties for Christian or Jewish holidays? Its clear that President Obama has placed a special emphasis on anything Muslim-related, making sure to always call out their contributions to American history. And lets not forget his statement that Islam has contributed to the character of our country, and Muslim Americans, and their good works, have helped to build our nation. Now the President is engaged in controversial negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran, determined to make a deal on their nuclear weapons development. And his wife is supporting him by throwing parties. Reports indicate that Michelle hosted a Nowruz celebration to mark the official start of the holiday, claiming that the Iranian New Year is just one of the traditions that make us who we are as a country. What do you think of the celebration? Watch the video below and tell us your thoughts! 
1	In a humiliating incident that all parties involved said they would never get over, Peter Miklewski, 15, confirmed he came home from school early Monday and accidentally walked in on seven members of his family masturbating in the living room. Aaagh! Get out of here, goddammit! shouted Peters parents, David and Jessica; his sister, Virginia; his older brother, Caleb; and his grandmother Emily, while his younger brother, Mark, and his aunt Fay reportedly scrambled to turn off the pornographic video they had been watching. Why the hell dont you knock? Sources said that after leaving the room, Peter sighed, concluded his family members were simply at those ages, and decided never to discuss the incident with them. 
2	Justice Served To Liberal Teacher That Forced Young Students To Give Up Christianity Jordan Wooley, a 7th grade student at West Memorial Junior High School in Texas came forward with disturbing news. Her 7th grade teacher had repeatedly been discouraging religion. The teacher told them that God isnt real, and that if they didnt agree with her they would get in trouble. Many other students were upset by this, but only one was able to step up to the sadistic teacher. Were thankful that she was brave enough to do this. The school put out a statement saying that they do not support what the teacher had done. They tried to avoid some of the blame by saying it was an assignment meant to engage critical thinking skills. We call bull sh*t on that. Here is a video of Jordan Wooley testifying. We are waiting on the decision of the court. Do you think that the teacher should be fired for this? 
2	RACISM: Black Panther Promises To Kill All White Babies Many people have started to speak out in frustration against the double standard that exists in todays society regarding racism. The video above shows a black man making some pretty extreme statements about white people, and yet the video has not been receiving nearly as much criticism as if the roles were reversed. The fact that people claim that racism against the white population in American doesnt exist is just ignorant. Awareness on the issue is perhaps lowered because the mainstream media continues to remain silent on the issue. The fact is, racism goes both ways. What do you think of this disgusting video? 
2	North Korea Launches Satellite Over Super Bowl Just two days after North Korea launched a satellite that traveled over the Super Bowl, a top American intelligence official has revealed that the nation has restarted their plutonium reactor. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told reporters at BBC that North Korea may be very close to recovering nuclear weapons grade material. We further assess that North Korea has been operating the reactor long enough so that it could begin to recover plutonium from the reactors spent fuel within a matter of weeks to months, Clapper commented. 9 years ago, in 2007, North Korea suspended their nuclear weapons program in exchange for an aid package. Activity picked up once more in 2013 and in January of this year, when North Korea began successfully conducting underground nuclear tests. Clapper also believes that North Korea is taking steps towards developing their intercontinental ballistic missile capability. If thats true, it could mean that the real reason behind their satellite launch on Sunday was for a ballistic missile test. What do you think? Is this a threat that should be taken very seriously? 
3	Dont Get Fooled Again? Ooops! Too LateAnd Now, For Your Entertainment, The Ever Popular Duet, Wrack And Ruin! The ruination of this country took place in 1913 with the passage of the Federal Reserve Act. People bitching and moaning about Obama destroying America are simply delusional. Do you actually think Romney would have done anything to help the American people? Do you really think Obama is now, or has ever been, in charge? This ostensible election was decided long ago. The voters really had nothing to do with it. The American people are played like a fiddle by those who call the tune. Personally, I would rather have seen Jill Stein and the Green Party take over, but such scenarios are mere fantasy in neofascist America. What were getting is another four years of stealthy neofascism, as opposed to the republican, in your face variety, which is what a Romney administration would have most likely meant. Arent You Getting Tired Of Reruns? What we had with this election was just a slightly muted replay of 08. The money masters, once again, put the worst possible candidates they could come up with on the republican ticket so they wouldnt really need to tamper with the voting too much. Once America is reduced to the status of a third world country, with most of the population turned into homeless climate refugees, they can be herded into the labour camps. Those who protest or are too old or infirm to be useful can be exterminated and the rest penned up like a bunch of Palestinians in the Gaza strip. If, by some chance, the timetable needs to be adjusted four years from now, another set of marionettes will be chosen for a rerun of that ever popular reality show The Amazing Presidential Race!. Silver Tongued And Slick Obama is obviously a top-notch pitchman for the elite. Theyre betting he can keep the populace under control until theyre ready to administer the coup de grce; and hes betting the wealth, safety and security theyve guaranteed him and his family will be delivered. And whilst the people slip back into the slumber of ignorant complacency, their enslavement will be completed, outside their deadened awareness; if not within the next four years, then very soon thereafter. You Can Run But It would be nice to get the hell out of Dodge, but Canada is being besieged by the same capitalist profit machine that has destroyed America and much of Earth. Its only a matter of time before it succumbs. At this point, theres really no safe haven to flee to. Just my opinion. Consummatum est.

3	Agenda 21 Chapter 8 The Final CoupJulie Beal the plan is brilliant. You reduce the number from 7+ billion by at least 33% without firing one shot. You simply privatize all natural resources and then price access so that the bottom third of the globes population cannot afford it. And so, they die; it will be the biggest die-off of the Anthropocene epoch. From Papua New Guinea to Croatia, from Bolivia to Ghana, from Canada to Central America, from Scotland to Nigeria, from Australia to America, forests, water rights, mineral rights, arable land, national parks, and much more is being privatized with the usual outcomes: degradation, displacement of indigenous populations, higher costs, lack of access to necessary resources starvation, death, social unrest and rebellion (Natural Capital and the Real End Game, Sandy Krolick) There arent enough people talking about this. It casts a whole new light on the TPP, on the reasons for war, possible near-term changes to corporation tax, and economic failure in general, and boggles the mind when it comes to geoengineering. Whilst we can only speculate on these connections, one things for sure monocultures for biomass-products, GMOs, vaccines, pharmaceuticals, and nuclear energy will play a huge role, as they are now deemed to be renewable and/or socially responsible. A circular economy which controls production and consumption is the ultimate aim, and this entails deep surveillance and prescriptive living for what will be called a steady-state system. The system is being implemented by measuring the new capital assets, which are created by pricing people, nature. From these new concepts, alternative currencies are forming weve already got carbon credits, and social credits, and the Club of Rome (and CoR member, Bernard Lietaer), for instance, have proposed Wellness Tokens. George Soros is one of the many New Economists who are promoting community currencies. Its time to open our eyes to all Agenda 21 entails: theres a lot more to it than most activists think. The communitarian ideals of smart growth and sustainable development are but one part of a much bigger movement aiming for global sustainability by privatizing the commons. This is achieved by measuring and pricing what are called ecosystem services, or the benefits accrued from the earth, and from people. It involves putting monetary values on aspects of nature, and the services it provides (such as pollination), as well as pricing the productivity and overall conformity of human beings (see the U.N. plan to increase Global Happiness). Apart from the usual built capital, i.e. goods and infrastructure, that normally make up the accounts of a company, and which are being restricted due to the fear of scarcity, four new types of self-perpetuating capital are now required to be priced, and accounted for. This new system of accountancy has been advanced for many years, and the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) has devised a framework which is to be implemented globally. Specifically, there are five alternative forms of capital considered in the framework: manufactured capital accounts for machines the organisation uses to produce its goods or services; natural capital such as air, water and land; human capital covering not only peoples skills and experience, but also motivations or rewards to innovate; intellectual capital taking in the intangibles providing competitive advantage; and social capital defined as the community stakeholders which enhance individual and collective wellbeing, which supports the business model.(Source) The process of ecosystem accounting is generally made up of well-intentioned environmentalists, but led and paid for by trans-national corporations (TNCs), including Monsanto, Syngenta, Novartis, BP, Shell, Alcoa, General Motors, and Coca-Cola.(Source) Its unlikely that these corporations would be considered at all sustainable by the environmentalists they are funding. Several corporations, such as Bayer, have also partnered with the U.N. to advance the protocol of Agenda 21. Since the inception of the protocol, at the Earth Summit in 1992, unsustainable businesses have been busy greening themselves. In the 90s, corporate governance became the hot topic, leading to the promotion of business ethics, and seeding the idea that corporations care about the consequences of their actions. Small changes were made to how companies were run, so that they could promote themselves as doing the right thing. All of the top companies now have a team who deal with the image of the firm in terms of its corporate social responsibility (CSR). Although the focus has been on carbon-reduction, the social aspect has become increasingly hyped. Being socially responsible is said to mean showing consideration for the well-being of all shareholders (i.e. the people you interact with, or all those affected by the operations of a business) and usually manifests as donating to social causes, or getting company employees to do volunteer work for a charity. There has been a concurrent rise in social investment, such that philanthro-capitalism is now mainstream. The City of London Corporation promotes itself as conforming to the green and caring new world order in much the same way as the other major players: The City Corporation has been active in the Social Action area for many years. We call this activity Supporting Society. We already have a proud record of promoting volunteering, environmental management, philanthropy and other forms of social responsibility such as local recruitment and responsible procurement to City businesses, workers, residents and our own staff. Commenting on the rise of social investment, Mark Boleat,Policy Chairman at the City of London Corporation, noted there is now a fast-increasing demand for risk and growth capital, and recommends applying tax reliefs to social investment. Earlier this year, he said: A recent report by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) found that demand in the social investment market in England could reach 1bn by 2016, five times what it is today the demand for capital in the social sector could grow at a rate of 38% per annum. Since the Fortune 500 gave birth to, and raised, their corporate images to the new green standard, there have been many changes to company law around the world to enforce corporate commitments to being carbon-neutral, and socially responsible. There has also been a huge increase in businesses which help both the public and the private sector to achieve these commitments, such that now the sustainability industry is booming. Over the years, then, it has become de rigour to try to be green. The concept of sustainable development has taken on many layers of meaning, and has become so normalised, that practitioners who use the term have never even heard of Agenda 21. Town planners laugh in the faces of opponents of the agenda, because they believe strongly in what they do. After all, the science is settled most of the world has already been delphied, having been besieged with visioning by the media for many years. Think icecaps melting and cute polar bears. So most people accept the sustainability agenda without question, and need no further nudging. They are not conscious of steering the agenda themselves, nor of the consequences. Take, for instance, Lisa Duncan, who is a Chevron Environmental Specialist, and has become a volunteer with United Ways Earn It! Keep It! Save It! free tax preparation program. Lisa says, The feeling around Chevron is that we live and work in the area and should be part of improving the community.I wanted to help people, and I wanted it to be interesting.(Source) Another major mistake is to presume that anyone who says they care about the environment, and pays them to work to save the world must be genuine. However, the sudden growth of social giving, and claims of carbon-neutrality, by the corporatocracy are not mirrored at the grassroots level. More to the point, those funding the eco-social technocratic smart world order are some of the most unsustainable/non-ecofriendly industries you could think of. Their keenness is so ripe, you can just smell their expectation of the profits they would reap. So, if youre going to say a word to anyone about Agenda 21, youve really got to tell them that, first and foremost, its about creating assets from nature and people. It is a system that will increase zoning and smart growth. The plan is so huge, so ambitious, and so nearly ready and it encompasses EVERY vileness of the New World Order we deplore. Take drones, for instance. They would be used to spy on people to ensure compliance with the new regime, e.g. gathering evidence of anyone damaging an asset, such as marring a pretty view in an eco-tourist hotspot, or walking on soil in a protected area. Take smart meters these will be but one mechanism to enforce allocation of individual energy allowances, in the steady-state system. Take GMOs and vaccines they are part of the caring faade of the NWO, as they are already being marketed as socially and environmentally responsible the NewSpeak rationale for global law. Take national sovereignty, political ideology, the ability to choose where and who you want to be all of these are subsumed by the New Economy, which is a global database of assets and liabilities, comprised of measurements of natural, built and human capital. The right to give birth, access to water, food, clean air, a home, a gun, and possibly even the right to life all will come under the laws associated with ownership of resources, and the aim of the communitarian steady-state system: R2P to avoid running out, to protect what they say we have, and to always leave enough for future generations. I hope, for all our sakes, that people will wake up to this, and obstruct it. No one can confer the responsibility to do so, but it sure would be good. Think about the wars being waged its not just central banks and the expansion of development/extraction in the Third World that the elites want. They need EVERY country to abide by the new system, because it can only be said to work if ALL production, and ALL consumption, is tallied and priced, so that quantum computers can claim to run global simulations of the ups and downs of the bio-economy. The idea is that we have to balance consumption with production, on a global scale, to maintain an ecological and psychological equilibrium, using the steady-state economic paradigm. It involves collecting a huge amount of data, on all of us. It is also open to endless abuses from the manipulation of data and statistics, such as by re-defining what constitutes scarcity, abundance, value. For this, the system needs data from all parts of the world. Non-compliance would be deemed akin to eco-terrorism! The number of power-brokers playing the game of Global Monopoly is being reduced. The countries which are not yet following the laws of Agenda 21 need to be made to comply. Iran, Iraq, Russia, China, Egypt, Afghanistan, and Israel have already joined the sustainability-club. Now the elites need to convince North Korea and Syria, and more of the African nations, such as Somalia, to conform. Widespread bombing may no longer be the choice method of control, since this damages profitable natural capital assets. Cyber-war and targeted drone strikes are much cleaner, less damaging to the environment and this is worth much MUCH more to them than the (unproductive) people they kill. The earth is being sold off: incorporated. And so are we. Because part of the plan involves measuring our happiness, which they call well-being, and so the countries which have the fittest, strongest, well-fed, schooled and happy conformists will be the ones who secure higher measures of GDP. This plan to go beyond GDP measuring the worth of the earth, and the people will lead to the commodification of these new assets, which will then be tradeable, just like carbon. Over time, they come to function as currencies. A good starting point to try and wrap your head around some of the basic concepts is a child-friendly guide, published by Peace Child International,the U.N.s Youth Movement, called Introduction to Sustainable Devleopment. It describes in simple terms the new economy being shaped by Agenda 21 (including Happiness Economics), and illustrates how lovely it all sounds. Even the oceans are being sold off or rather, the services they are deemed to provide, such as the profits gained from fishery, and ecotourism. Besides the Green Economy, investment in the services provided by the oceans is growing. In February, this Blue Economy was given a boost by a new public-private partnership, launched with an investment of $1.5bn by World Banks Global Partnership for Oceans at The Economists World Oceans Summit. The system requires a constant stream of data from sensors like bioMEMS, and satellites,such as the Artificial Intelligence for Ecosystem Services (ARIES) technology.

2	HAPPENING NOW: Sheriffs Deputy Killed And Two Others Injured In Shooting In Colorado President Barack Obamas silence on the matter of police violence in this country is deafening. Over the past few months, weve seen an escalation in crime and violence against officers like never beforeand Obama is doing very little about it. According to recent reports, Park County sheriffs deputies arrived at a Colorado residence to serve an eviction notice. The interaction quickly turned ugly when the tenant opened fire on the three deputies as they approached the house. One officer was killed in the incident, and the two others sustained injuries. Its a dark day, Susan Medina, a police spokeswoman told reporters. Investigators have not yet announced a motive behind the shootings, and it is possible there is not one. Bomb squad technicians were called to the scene after the shooting out of an abundance of caution. Because the town is located in a very rural area of the state, the assistance of outside federal agencies is not entirely unusual. Whether or not the officers were directly targeted for their uniforms is unknown at the moment, but this does underscore the risks that American law enforcement takes everyday to keep us safe. What do you think? Is it time for our officers to start getting the respect they deserve? 
2	12 Year Old Completely Demolishes Obama About Shooting In SC... Epic [VIDEO] CJ Pearson first made a name for himself when he questioned President Obama about whether he truly loved America. Now, the young man is back to discuss the tragic shootings in South Carolina. The shooting of 9 innocent churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina was a senseless tragedy but leave it up to our President to politicize and discount the deaths of so many, Pearson writes. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you support Pearson in his views? 
2	White People Outraged After President Says All White People Should Go Back To England Recently, one president gave a speech that has people around the world outraged. According to reports, Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe shocked his audience when he told them that, all white people should go back to England. What is the problem? He continued. We now have aeroplanes which can take them back quicker than the ships used by their ancestors. Zimbabwe was once part of the British Empire, but gained its independence from Rhodesia in 1980. Mugabe has historically been seen as a hero in his country for taking land back from white framers and giving it to black citizens. Because of his actions, he has also faced international scrutiny. During the same speech, Mugabe told the crowd that President Obama is afraid of him. What do you think of Mugabes speech? 
3	The Number Of Volcanic Eruptions Is Increasing And That Could Lead To An Extremely Cold WinterMichael Snyder According to Volcano Discovery, a whopping 34 volcanoes are erupting around the globe right now. This is sending a massive amount of dust and ash into the upper atmosphere, and it may explain why many parts of the planet are experiencing strangely cold weather at the moment. If this trend continues, we could potentially be facing years of crop failures and widespread famines all over the world. And what we have witnessed already may just be the beginning. There are several more very large volcanoes around the globe that scientists are extremely concerned about right now. For example, just check out what is going onin the Philippines In a bulletin issued at 10:00 pm, PHIVOLCS observed 39 rockfall events from 5:00 am to 8:00 pm on September 15, symptoms of the build-up of magma at the summit dome. At least 32 low frequency volcanic earthquakes were also recorded, indicating magma intrusion or volcanic gas activity. PHIVOLCS-DOST raised the alert status of Mayon Volcano from Alert Level 2 to Alert Level 3 which is equivalent to a Critical Alert in the agencys 5-level alert system. This means that the volcano is exhibiting relatively high unrest, magma is at the crater, and that an eruption is possible within weeks. But of even greater concern is Bardarbunga. It is the largest volcano system in Iceland, and a major eruption could potentially beabsolutely catastrophic Scientists are taking the latest rumblings seriously: roughly 8000 years ago, after all, the volcanic leviathan let rip with the largest eruption of the past 10,000 years. It is very difficult to predict exactly what will happen with an eruption, says Monash University vulcanologistProfessor Ray Cas, who is president of the International Association for Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth. Scientists tell us that over the last 10,000 yearsBardarbunga has produced more lava than any other volcano on the planet. If we witness a full scale eruption at Bardarbunga, the cancellation of a few thousand flights may be the smallest of our concerns. The truth is that we might be looking at the coldest winter that any of us have ever seen in the northern hemisphere. But dont just take my word for it. The following is from a British newspaper article entitled Icelandic volcano could trigger Britains coldest winter EVER this year Tiny pieces of debris act as billions of shields reflecting the suns light away from earth meaning winter temperatures could plunge LOWER THAN EVER before while summer will be devoid of sunshine. The first effect could be a bitterly cold winter to arrive in weeks with thermometers plunging into minus figures and not rising long before next summer. If this did happen, there is nothing that we could do to change it. We would just have to deal with it. This is a kind of climate change that everyone can agree on. It is well known that volcanic eruptions can substantially lower global temperatures. In fact, some global warming theorists are already blaming increased volcanic activityfor why temperatures have not been rising in recent years But if Bardarbunga fully erupts, we could be looking at something a lot worse than a little global cooling. We could potentially be facing winters that never seem to end. It has happened before in recorded history many times. The following list comes fromWikipedia Most recently, the 1991 explosion of Mount Pinatubo, a stratovolcano in the Philippines, cooled global temperatures for about 23 years. In 1883, the explosion of Krakatoa (Krakatau) created volcanic winter-like conditions. The four years following the explosion were unusually cold, and the winter of 1887-1888 included powerful blizzards. Record snowfalls were recorded worldwide. The 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora, a stratovolcano in Indonesia, occasioned mid-summer frosts in New York State and June snowfalls in New England and Newfoundland and Labrador in what came to be known as the Year Without a Summer of 1816. A paper written by Benjamin Franklin in 1783 blamed the unusually cool summer of 1783 on volcanic dust coming from Iceland, where the eruption of Laki volcano had released enormous amounts of sulfur dioxide, resulting in the death of much of the islands livestock and a catastrophic famine which killed a quarter of the Icelandic population. Northern hemisphere temperatures dropped by about 1C in the year following the Laki eruption. In 1600, the Huaynaputina in Peru erupted. Tree ring studies show that 1601 was cold. Russia had its worst famine in 1601-1603. From 1600 to 1602, Switzerland, Latvia and Estonia had exceptionally cold winters. The wine harvest was late in 1601 in France, and in Peru and Germany, wine production collapsed. Peach trees bloomed late in China, and Lake Suwa in Japan froze early. The possibility of volcanic eruptions substantially cooling our weather is the biggest climate threat that we are facing by far. Without warm summers and plenty of sunshine, our crops will not succeed. And global food supplies are already stretched to the limit. Just this week we learned that one out of every nine people in the world does not have enough food to eat. What would happen if global food production was cut by 10 or 20 percent for a few years? So keep an eye on Bardarbunga and the other major volcanoes around the planet that are rumbling right now. They may just play a major role in our immediate future.

2	What The Obama Daughters Are Doing This Weekend Will Make You FURIOUS According to recent reports, Obama and his two daughters, Sasha and Malia, are spending a lavish weekend in New York, where they will be partying with some of the citys wealthiest families. Obama and more than two dozen wealthy Democrats are going to be meeting in George and Nitzi Logothetis brownstone, where they plan to raise millions of dollars in donations. Obama recently appointed Logothetis to the board of a charity called My Brothers Keeper, an organization designed to help young black men live successful lives. Logothetis was born in London, but originally comes from a wealthy Greek family. His familys shipping business has earned them a fortune of more than $1 billion. He has been a vocal supporter of Obamas immigration reform plans and several more of his controversial policies. Its no surprise, then, that the Obamas have kept them close. Donors like these will help to fuel their lavish lifestyles and agendas once theyre out of the White House for good. What do you think of the Obamas plans for the weekend? 
3	As Prices Drop, Gold Sales Explode at US MintBy Joshua Krause But now its not so easy to make that claim. The US Mint has made another incredible announcement. Their gold has been flying off the shelves lately, and they havent sold this much since April of 2013, which totaled 210,000 ounces. When Reuters mentioned this fact on Wednesday, the mint had sold 110,000 ounces. Just two days later ZeroHedge mentioned that their sales had grown to 143,000 ounces for July. At this rate, their gold sales may match their previous record by the end of the month. And all of this happened on a day when the gold price reached another 5year low. Supposedly lower demand is driving the price down, but theres clearly an increasing demand for the physical metal. When something as simple as supply and demand doesnt add up, its time to question the legitimacy of the forces responsible for setting the price. 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. Dont be surprised to see gold go as low as $900. Some sources suggest as low as $600. Dont blow your wad too soon. Expect it to lower further. It wont stay down for long though. After all this dipping, the next expectation is for it to shoot up again. Good post. Harry Dent and Associates claim Ag@$300 and Si @ $7.00 as we collapse. Soon to recover. 
3	There Already Is A Government Health Care System In America And It Is The Medical Version Of HellMichael Snyder Injured military veterans and those who live on Indian reservations are some of the most vulnerable members of our society, and the government is doing an absolutely nightmarish job of taking care of them. Theoretically, the government should be able to provide at least a basic level of care for these people, but as you will see this is simply not happening. Why? The bottom line is that the federal government is completely and utterly incompetent. This has been demonstrated once again in recent months by the launch of Obamacare. What a train wreck that has been. But we shouldnt be surprised. When it comes to health care, the U.S. government cant seem to get anything right. CJ Jackson, a Purple Heart recipient and 101st Airborne medic, was severely wounded during a battle in Afghanistan when an enemy rocket-propelled grenade hit a wall a couple of feet from him, sending debris into his arm and leg. He said he waited over a year to see a doctor at the Jackson VA despite being considered critically injured. And once a vet is finally able to see a doctor and have surgery scheduled, those surgeries are often conducted in facilities that are beyond disgusting. The following is what one orthopedic surgeon recently told CNBC Occasionally wed find pieces of bone on equipment, hetold CNBC. What it really shows is that no one is really taking the time or care to clean the instruments. His story was backed up by Dr. Phyllis Hollenbeck, who still works at the hospital. She testified on Sept. 9 about problems at the Jackson center. Essentially everything that happens in primary care at the Jackson VA can be included under the umbrella of being unethical, illegal, heartbreaking, and life threatening for the veterans, and everything in the care of the veterans starts in primary care. Of course this is not the first investigation that discovered these kinds of conditions at VA hospitals. A few years ago, ABC News also conducted an investigation of conditions at VA facilities across the United States. What ABC News discovered was absolutely staggering. The following are just a few of the things that they found during the course of their investigation Is this how the federal government should be treating the men and women that have shed blood fighting for our country? Unfortunately, it appears that the mistreatment of our military veterans has gotten even worse since Barack Obama took power. For much more on all of this, please see my previous article entitled 25 Signs That Military Veterans Are Being Treated Like Absolute Trash Under The Obama Administration. The funny thing is that many of the people that run these VA facilities are greatly rewarded for their hard work. For example,CNBC discovered that those running the VA facility in Jackson, Mississippi described above are receiving huge bonuses The director of the Jackson VA, Joe Battle, received a $6,500 bonus last year on top of his $165,000 salary, and Rica Lewis-Payton, the network director of the South Central Health Care Network, which includes Jackson, got almost $36,000 in bonuses last year, on top of her $180,000 salary. Are you disgusted yet? You should be. And we see the exact same thing happening in government-run health care facilities on Indian reservations. By treaty, the U.S. government is required to provide health care on Indian reservations. But the level of health care being provided is of extremely low quality and the programs are very underfunded. In fact, things are so bad that the following expression is very commonly heard on Indian reservations across America Dont get sick after June. Why would they say that? Well, because in the fall and winter the waits to see a doctor and the rationing of care get particularly bad. If you get seriously ill, you might end up dying before you ever get the care that you need. Posted below is avideo news report featuring Judge Andrew Napolitano about the horrific state of government-run health care on Indian reservations In light of all of this, should we have more government interference in the health care system or less?

1	After learning about the importance of zinc mining to residents in the crucial swing state of Missouri, presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama both expressed their irritation Monday over being forced to adopt a position on the issue in order to please voters. 'I'll tell you what I think about zinc miningI don't,' an exasperated Obama told reporters, adding that he would reluctantly research the subject after finishing the 'million other things' he had to do. 'What's McCain's stance on it? I guess I'll be for it, unless he's for it, in which case I'll be against it. Either way I don't care.' McCain had an identical reaction when informed that he would have to take a stance on health care, the economy, and education. 
1	Describing the murder charges brought against a white South Carolina police officer who was filmed shooting an unarmed black man as an encouraging step in the right direction, the American populace reported Wednesday they were hopeful that future victims of police abuse would have an equally random chance of receiving justice. The number of law enforcement officers who have shot unarmed civilians and gone free over the past year has been extremely discouraging, but the fact that this policeman was arrested so swiftly shows that there can be justice for victims so long as a bystander is nearby, has a camera phone on them, captures the whole interaction, and several dozen other circumstances play out in the precise sequence, said North Charleston, SC resident Jenine Williams, echoing the sentiments of millions of Americans who told reporters they have faith that, as long as a fair-minded eyewitness happens to be passing by at the exact right time; has the inclination to stop and film; an unobstructed view; enough battery life and memory on their phone; a steady hand; the forethought to start filming an interaction with the police before it escalates into violence; is close enough to get detailed footage, but far enough away to avoid being shot themselves or seen by the officer and potentially having their phone confiscated; and it is daytime, then justice would certainly be served. I have a 17-year-old son who I worry about every day when he heads out into our neighborhood. But now I can take heart knowing that if, God forbid, he were ever in a situation like this, there would be a tiny fraction of a chance that every single element would fall into place and my family would receive the fair and just legal outcome we deserve. The nation added that they were also hopeful the situation would change the behavior of police officers by making them look around to see if anyone was filming them before they moved from excessive to lethal force. 
1	Reasoning that he has earned some much-needed rest and relaxation, overworked Cuyahoga County prosecutor Brian Gorman told reporters Thursday that he is thinking of taking on a police brutality case as a nice little vacation. Honestly, Ive had a pretty grueling caseload over the past few months, so Im looking forward to just kicking back, throwing together some halfhearted spiel about the broad powers of police, and letting the grand jury spit out an acquittal, said Gorman, adding that, without any real pressure to secure an indictment, hell be able to take his foot off the gas at work for a few weeks and recharge his batteries during the proceedings to determine whether there is enough evidence to bring charges against a police officer accused of killing a suspect. Dont get me wrong, Ive still got to show up and establish that Ive been building a case, but nobody is really going to ride me too hard on this. I did one of these a year ago, so it should be the same dog and pony show where I roll out whatever evidence the department handed over and let the jury ruminate on all the gaping holes in the case I was unable to fully address. Then theyll say theres no probable cause and I get to go home. Despite looking forward to the case, Gorman told reporters that he expects to be completely swamped with work prosecuting protesters arrested in the days following the acquittal. 
1	FAIRFIELD, MEHaving seen more students than she can remember come into her office with complaints of nausea and vomiting over the years, Fairfield High School nurse Sarah Bromti told reporters Wednesday shes getting to the point where she can identify morning sickness without much trouble. Ive been at this for a while now, so when a freshman or sophomore walks in during first period with that look on her face, I have a pretty good idea whats going on, said Bromti, noting that most of the time, shes already pulled a teen pregnancy pamphlet out of her desk drawer before the student has even started listing her symptoms. You see enough queasy ones and eventually you can just pick out which arent the flu or food poisoning. If a girl comes in here a month or two after the annual ski trip, thats what it is nine times out of 10. At press time, Bromti had cut her time with reporters short because a pale-looking 15-year-old cheerleader was approaching her desk. 
2	BREAKING: Judge Rules Against Obama... It Is Finally Happening According to recent reports from Western Journalism, U.S. District Judge Amit P. Metha argued that the White House acted in bath faith in calling to release global warming records. The Washington Times reports that this year alone, there have been three separate cases in which a judge has granted legal discovery in open-record cases. The most recent case involved the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. In this case, the Competitive Enterprise Institute was asking for the release of all documents in which Director John C. Holdren accused global warming of being responsible for colder winter weather. Some scientists who were studying the climate had serious disagreements with Holdrens findings. Staff members of the OSTP originally claimed to be able to find only 11 pages of documents. Later, they came forward to admit that they had located 47 pages. They clearly attempted to withhold the documents by claiming they were protected from release because they were only seen within the administration. Both of these impressions turned out to be mistake, Judge Mehta responded. At some point, the governments inconsistent representations about the scope and completeness of its searches must give way to the truth-seeking function of the adversarial process, including the tools available through discovery. The case has crossed that threshold. What do you think? Do we need the Obama administration out of the White House immediately? 
1	Employees at Trustwell Insurance expressed shock and embarrassment Monday upon noticing that senior sales associate Mark Hansel had a visibly flaccid penis just sitting there underneath his khaki pants and was making absolutely zero effort to conceal it from his colleagues. It was like, Christ, we can totally tell that your limp penis is right there behind a layer of fabric, Mark, and you dont even have the decency to cover yourself up? accounts analyst Alexis Crawford told reporters, adding that she forced herself to look away out of politeness after seeing Hansels completely unerect penis just hanging there, concealed beneath his khakis. His flaccid genitals were practically staring us all in the face, covered in nothing but his khaki pants, and presumably a pair of boxers or briefs of some kind. And yet Mark didnt try to sit down or block our view with a file folder or anything. I mean, good Lord, I didnt come to work to see a peep show. At press time, numerous office sources were considering reporting Hansels actions to corporate as an act of sexual harassment. 
1	Garbed in unwashed robes and wearing a long, gray, wispy beard, former president George W. Bush returned to the United States this morning after spending four years on a spiritual journey in the Himalayas. Sources said Bush, who hasnt been seen in America since abandoning his Crawford, TX ranch and Secret Service detail at the end of his presidency, appeared on the shore in Jacksonville, FL, emerging from what appeared to be a crude self-built wooden boat and exhibiting a gentle, placid countenance as he addressed surprised onlookers. Nearly four years have passed since I embarked on my search for the answers to life's mysteries, and now the complex passages of time have returned me here once more, to my homeland, said the bedraggled yet serenely smiling 43rd president of the United States, accompanied by a young monk named Dawa whom he met during his two years studying in a Tibetan monastery, and by a mountain goat he reportedly adopted as a spiritual companion. I return to my home enlightened by the wisdom of 10,000 lifetimes, so that I might guide all idle souls along the oft secluded path of generosity, truth, and righteousness. A file photo of Bush while he was living a nomadic existence in the Himalayas. I am but a gently falling leaf, buoyed by mountain winds, the 66-year-old former Texas governor continued. To see the way forward is to be connected to your own reality and be one with your consciousnesscomplete and pure, unburdened and without want.' By his own account, Bush trekked across the Tibetan countryside for several months before deciding to devote his life to the study and teaching of transcendental meditation, later spending a year in seclusion during which he scaled Himalayan peaks while guided only by the loudly whispering wind and harsh, merciless snow. Sources reported the famed Republican is missing three toes from frostbite he suffered during his travels before mastering the ability to raise and lower his body temperature at will. Throughout the makeshift press conference, the former president refused to respond to the name George Bush, repeatedly reminding onlookers that he now preferred to be called Gomtesh, a moniker reportedly bestowed upon him by members of the monastery after he passed through to another realm of being. My presidency, my wife, my daughters, and my name are all elements of a plane of existence that my fully realized soul no longer comprehends, said Bush, describing the vows of renunciation he took upon entering the monastery, which required him to disown all vestiges of his former life. Now I, Gomtesh, am a truer being, forgiven the sins of my past life and devoted to a life beyond the material world. Bush then closed his eyes and drew a deep breath, hushing bystanders who attempted to speak by telling them to experience for a moment the expression of the universe. While several of the onlookers on site for Bushs arrival were vocally critical of the former presidents administration, they admitted they were nonetheless impressed by his seeming connectedness to a higher spiritual force. I cant say I ever agreed with the guy when he was in office, but he really seems be on some higher spiritual plane now, Jacksonville resident Sean Davis said. When someone asked him about his views on the upcoming election, he talked for 30 minutes about how power is but a raw diamond, precious when handled by an expert cutter yet, in the wrong hands, often impure and corrupting. Or something like that. It was beautiful. Even being in his presence just feltilluminating, Davis added. Though the former president remained relatively elusive while commenting on his eight years in office and discussing his political legacy, when asked about the thousands of casualties in the Iraq War, he reminded those gathered that dying was not the end of lifes journey, but merely a new state of existence. We are all eternal beings waiting to accept the true nature of death, which, in many ways, is merely a new beginning for the human soul, Bush said. And, you know, just to clarify, we know those soldiers did not die in vain because that would be saying that invading Iraq was the wrong decision, and I dont believe that it was. When youre the commander in chief of the most powerful nation on earth, sometimes you have to make difficult choices, and not everyones going to like those choices, but Id like to see anyone else here make the call, because, Ill tell you first hand, its a tough one. People who criticize the decision now speak with the benefit of a hindsight none of us had when our country was being attacked. The fact is, Saddam Hussein was a bad guy, and I think anyone would have made the same call I did, even if there were never any weapons of mass destruction. I would do it all again if I had to. Aw, dammit, Bush added after a pause. Well, folks, it appears my journey is not yet complete. The former president and his companions then reboarded their vessel and drifted back out to sea. 
1	Noting that the regular outings have improved the physical health and well-being of the aging couple, the children of Robert and Patricia Doyle told reporters Friday that their elderly parents were staying active by frequently attending their friends funerals. Its a nice excuse for them to get out of the house every few days, and Mom and Dad always seem to be more energetic whenever they head to one of their friends memorial services, said daughter Alison Doyle, adding that the opportunities to converse with their remaining acquaintances at open-casket viewings were also helping to keep her parents minds sharp and alert well into their 70s. I used to worry that theyd just be sitting around at this age, but theyre out there all the time meeting up with old friends at cemeteries and funeral homes. Honestly, my only concern now is that they might push themselves too hard. Sometimes its a pretty long walk for them all the way from the car to the gravesite and back, especially if theyre doing that two, three times a week. Doyle, however, expressed concern that many of the benefits of her parents activity might be counteracted by the unhealthy cake and pastries served at their friends wakes. 
1	Long considered among the nations premier zoos, northern Californias Redding Wildlife Park has continued to earn praise from visitors and industry observers alike for its progressive commitment to housing all of its animals in their natural destroyed habitats, sources reported this week. The cutting-edge zoological park, which houses some 3,000 animals from more than 500 species within its grimy and litter-strewn enclosures, reportedly spends tens of millions of dollars each year to maintain a vast variety of polluted and decimated habitats that closely replicate living conditions in the outside world. Our zoo is dedicated to providing every one of our animals with surroundings that mimic their natural homes as closely as possible, which is why weve built dozens of modern habitats that contain the precise types of discarded plastic and styrofoam packaging, acidified water sources, and industrial byproducts they typically encounter in the wild, zoo director Michael LaForge said of the facilitys trailblazing enclosures, which occupy more than 100 acres of largely drought-ravaged and eroded land abutting a chemical processing plant. In the past year alone, weve spent over $20 million to systematically contaminate dozens of exhibits for our animals, from our freshwater pond tainted with hydraulic fracturing runoff to our temperate woodlands that we reduce in size every month through systematic deforestation. The rainforest enclosure inhabited by our jaguars and howler monkeys, for example, is one of the most faithfully reproduced habitats in our park, LaForge said while gesturing to an area of desiccated trees and scorched brown underbrush. We are 100 percent committed to ensuring that these animals live exactly as they would if they were being constantly harassed and displaced by commercial farmers and loggers in the Amazon Basin. Employees said that since the first fetid, pesticide-laden exhibit was constructed in 2003, trustees have invested large sums of money in researching and developing the most realistic habitats, implementing solutions ranging from pumping smog into the air of the Indian elephant pen to introducing devastating invasive species such as cane toads and Burmese pythons into the parks Caribbean and Everglades habitats. Sources confirmed that the zoos state-of-the-art polar bear exhibit features a million-gallon water tank with a single gradually receding platform in the middle, while its adjacent sea lion habitat includes a massive patch of floating refuse that includes the latest medical waste and old tires. In each of the exhibits, staff said, the foul condition of the water and vegetation is closely monitored by dedicated teams of researchers who ensure that the animals remain constantly stressed and malnourished. One thing well do with our Asiatic cats is deny them sustenance for extended periods of time so they can experience what its like to have their natural food source depleted by habitat loss, said zoo official Joe Firer, noting that the park currently has all five of its Bengal tigers compete for a small portion of meat that other zoos would normally allot for one of the animals. When theyre finally too weak to stand, well throw in a few pieces of beef for them to viciously fight over, just like their cousins in the few remaining natural areas in south Asia that havent been fully eradicated by urbanization. When you see the sallow, hopeless look in their eyes as they spend another fruitless day hunting for food, you know youve done your job, Firer added. Ensuring each animal is as miserable as it would be in the wild is our ultimate goal. Visitors to the wildlife park said that the staffs commitment to environmental realism is particularly impressive considering the enormous challenge of emulating decades worth of ecological destruction, with sources noting that employees are constantly working to ensure the zoos animals are burdened with accurate levels of fertilizer runoff, noise pollution, and occasional poaching. After seeing the ailing and distressed animals with their own eyes, many visitors reported feeling inspired to support the zoos mission. When I go to Redding, Im always motivated to help out by making a donation of a plastic shopping bag or some old batteries that the staff can dump into the animals food and drinking water, patron Joanna Mills told reporters, saying that shes considered volunteering certain weekends to pitch in with the zoos simulated oil spills. And whenever Im near an outdoor enclosure, I always toss an empty water bottle right at the rhinos or the families of orangutans. Its not ideal for them to be taken out of their natural environments, so the least we can do is make them feel as threatened and encroached-upon as possible, she added. Then itll feel like home. 
3	What Are You Holding On To?Dan and Sheila Gendron, Contributors We strive, we sacrifice health, family, and well-being for the opportunity to be a better slave. I understand that there are those of you who truly love the system and would hate to see it go. Its not my intention to say you are wrong in your pursuit of happiness. But if you find that you are not fulfilled by spending money you make from being employed by working in a cubicle (or any job you hate), then, really, what are you hanging onto and why? You need only look at hurricane Sandy (not to mention Katrina) to see what chaos it caused. How many thousands of people are still suffering without power (because non-union workers are being turned away) and still without shelter, food or water (because the FEMA office is closed due to weather). Wheres your implied benefit now??? Many people have chosen to leave the system behind and try to achieve the self-sufficient lifestyle. Even amongst them, there are varying levels of commitment. It seems that those called preppers anticipate the need to be prepared for unforeseen catastrophes war, earthquakes, bad weather, economic collapse, pole shift, planet X, et al in the belief that somehow at the end of the tunnel everything will return to the way it was back in the 1950s; an idyllic, red-white-and-blue America. Personally, we are getting ready to shut everything down very soon, so I wont mince words in our opinion, there is virtually no hope for civilization as we know it today to recover from a total collapse in the span of a few years. A few generations would be more like it. A survivalist is preparing now to be self-sufficient as a permanent lifestyle, whereas a preppper tries to buy enough supplies to carry him or her over the hump, most of whom we have spoken with assuming 6 to 24 months will do it. We dont have to go back as far as Egypt and Typhon 3500 years ago to see how long it takes to recover from a collapse. There is plenty of history to show us, including a thousand-year period after the fall of the Roman Empire (commonly known as the Dark Ages) before the Renaissance came along and people were ready to learn new habits (like hygiene, reading and science). Look up the collapse of the Argentine Peso in 1999 still in chaos 13 years later with no real relief in sight. So, in our view, if in the recent past we can document what a complete collapse looks like, then the belief that any American collapse scenario would involve getting back to normal any time soon after it, is not based on solid ground. We strongly suggest, whether you are considering being a prepper, a survivalist or not sure what you want at this point, that at an absolute minimum you begin as a dedicated prepper. Good preppers always have storage foods, supplies, a bug-out bag and such. That is a good place for anyone to start. But look beyond that for your survival. Social Security payments, welfare, food stamps, disability entitlements, pensions, etc., etc., can be swept out from under you in the blink of an eye, and you will find that you have been holding on to thin air, like that from which our current monetary system itself is created. The only things you can truly hang on to are your own abilities, your own intuition, your own physical labor and enough self-love to know that you deserve to live a fulfilling, comfortable and secure life of your own choosing without harm to anyone else. If you think that not everyone can do that, youre right. Only those who choose to do so, can.

3	How Crazy Survivalists Make The World A Better PlaceBrandon Smith, Contributor I will not deny, Montana has indeed become a hotbed of survivalism and Constitutionalism, or what the Southern Poverty Law Center would call extremism and domestic terrorism. I lived in Pittsburgh for years while writing for Neithercorp and Alt-Market and rarely ran into like minded individuals aware of the tenuous status of our society. Within days of moving to Montana, I was being recognized by complete strangers in supermarkets excited to discuss the inner workings of Keynesian monetary corruption, precious metals investment, and Alinsky disinformation tactics. YeahI knowits weird. After living for a while in the Redoubt, you begin to forget that there are still many people in this country that are utterly oblivious to the epic dangers around them, as well as painfully helpless in knowing what to do when those dangers land on their doorsteps. Speaking with the newspaper reporter, and my experiences at Paulfest in Tampa, Florida, reminded me that the world has yet to be reminded of the value of survivalism. There is still a gap, a disconnect, a psychological twitch of the masses, and it compels me to explain, yet again, what they are missing. I had thought about using parables like the ancient Greek story of Cassandra, who was given the gift of foresight and prophecy, but also stricken with a curse which prevented anyone from believing her dire warnings. Or the story of Noah, who was given an omen, a vision of catastrophe, and directed by God on how to save a remnant of life, while knowing that most of the people around him would perish. And what about Galileo, who simply tried to point out the scientific operations of the universe in which we exist, only to be ostracized by his church and government. In these modern times, however, many find it increasingly difficult to relate to mythology, bible lore, or even historical precedence. Luckily, there is always cinema Human beings hold within them a natural mechanism, a moral dynamo that compels them to alert others to the dangers they see silhouette on the horizon. Every survivalist today has at one time or another felt the overwhelming weight of responsibility that comes with knowing; not believing, but KNOWING the future. The film Take Shelter illustrates the internal and external dilemmas of the survivalist in a way that is striking, beautiful, and affirming. Prophetic dreams and spoken messages from the heavens are not necessarily required to understand the dilemmas our nation faces in the new millennium. It does not take a psychic to see the mathematical certainty of dollar devaluation and loss of world reserve status. The degradation of our civil liberties in the name of state security. The formation of unaccountable supranational bodies which are quickly encroaching upon our individual sovereignty. In fact, a person would have to be mentally blind, deaf, and dumb to NOT grasp what is happening right under their noses. Sadly, this is where a majority of the American populace lives. Even at Paulfest, a convention and congregation of what I consider some of the most awake and socially aware people on the planet, I discovered that at least half of those in attendance had a minimal sense of urgency as far as a true national crisis was concerned, clinging to the assumption that they had yet more time to stab at top down solutions and political tap dancing that continually falls short of what is necessary to restore liberty. It is difficult to retain ones composure in the face of the astounding absurdity of normalcy bias. The idea that todays comforts will continue on tomorrow and forever is a powerful one. To break such apathy requires steadfast resolve. Sometimes, only startling and terrifying events are enough to rattle the mindless masses. Sometimes, you just have to let the chips fall where they may, speak the truth to the best of your ability, and let the herd sort out the rest in their own good time, whatever there is left of it. What we see as a forgone conclusion, what we passionately fight to expose, in their minds often translates into belligerence and a frightening subversion of their joyous naivety: As we invade their perfect world with the dreadful facts of life, their subconscious reflex is to regard us as a tangible threat. The first reaction is always to laugh. Ridicule without substance is the primary defense of the ignorant. But, what if you dont go away? What if your arguments are too precise? What if there is too much clarity to your position? What if you have a whole movement of people behind you? What if you are a force to be reckoned with, and cannot be refuted or dissuaded? What if logic dictates the admission that you are right, and they are wrong? Then arises fury It is not uncommon for the truth tellers of an era to be labeled the enemies of society. To be held as criminals, traitors, and terrorists. In fact, the establishment has in the past two decades made every effort to paint survivalists as the boogeymen of our age; unstable and unpredictable wild-men hell bent on destruction in the name of some hallucinatory ideology. Using generalizations, false associations, and outright lies, corrupt governments seek to fool the citizenry into viewing survivalists as a fringe element and a dark underbelly of their otherwise serene state sponsored existence. In contrast, I would like to point out to the non-prepper populace the advantages of having some of us loony survivalists around. Rarely in the mainstream are we ever presented with the utility of survival proponents, and how they actually serve the interests of the greater good to quote a phrase often used by drooling collectivists and statists who desperately try to defame the prepper subculture Advantage #1: Survivalists Have Their Own Stuff They Dont Need Your Stuff Survivalists have their own stuff, which means, they will likely not feel compelled to take your stuff, if, that is, you have any stuff worth having. In the midst of a calamity, being surrounded by preppers is one of the best insurance policies a person could acquire. Think about it; would you rather have me as a neighbor, with my guns, ammo, food supply, off-grid solar power and water, and anti-establishment angst, or, would you rather have some superficial sickly fake friendly suburban yuppie with a Mercedes, an overpriced boat, a $100,000-plus debt obligation, a repressed inferiority complex, a vicious department store-addicted trophy wife, three spoiled crusty children with a vocabulary of 80 words or less, and an empty pantry? In a crisis, who is the real threat? Come on! Advantage #2: Survivalists Keep To Themselves Your Business Is Your Own Have you ever lived in the metro areas of California, New York, or Illinois? Ever notice how disgustingly nosy many people tend to become in the more socialist minded regions of America? Neighborhood administrations that cite you for tall grass. Permits on top of permits. Sneers when you smoke a cigarette, even outdoors. Environmental restrictions bordering on the insane. City governments telling you what you are allowed to eat and drink and how much. Its so enraging it makes you want to wrench someones head off their neck and crush their skull like a giant zit. Survivalists respect privacy. Grow a garden on your front lawn. Smoke your cigarettes (or whatever). Drink your damned 2 liter mega-gulp. Let your kids play with the water hose for hours, or open a lemonade stand. Dont worry; the authorities will never be told, because we dont care. Advantage #3: Survivalists Are Handy Ever have that one friend, or neighbor, or family member who just seems to have all the right answers when it comes to gardening, or solar power, or repairing that hunting rifle? Who knows all the best camping and fishing spots? Who always seems to be willing to go out of his way to help you set up a good emergency kit in case of that next hurricane, flood, tornado, earthquake, etc? You may very well be working with a survivalist and not even know it. Advantage #4: Survivalists Insulate A Region The more survivalists there are in a particular area, the more likely you are to get through a disaster, whether you have prepared for it or not. A network of survival communities offers an enormous variety of skills, an alternative economy and barter system to tap into, safety from harm during a major implosion or socially unstable times, and the ingenuity required to rebuild after the disaster. Let me put it this way: who is more likely to return your environment to a livable state? Groups of survivalists with the know-how and the desire because they actually LIVE in the region? Or, a faceless government bureaucracy like FEMA with no meaningful ties to the community in which you live? Advantage #5: Survivalists Cook Up A MeanBarbecue Show me a survivalist that doesnt grill like an artist. I defy you! Advantage #6: Survivalists Stand Their Ground When It Counts If you ever need someone to back you up in a terrible situation, you cant do much better than a survivalist. They are used to adversity. In fact, many of us deliberately put ourselves through strenuous training environments in order to learn where we will falter. We make a point to uncover our own weaknesses and improve upon them. Our current comfort obsessed society is almost devoid of this characteristic. Finding a single person who will not let you down is a gift. Finding an entire movement of such people is a miracle. Dont let it go to waste Advantage #7: Survivalists Are Time Capsules For Liberty Every culture needs watchmen. Not government paid watchmen who seek out power, but citizen volunteers who shun power. Without such watchmen, fundamental principles can be lost or destroyed, and the people of a nation are apt to forget where they came from, and what made them successful in the first place. Though the masses have a tendency to be lured away from the legacy of freedom which once served them towards the twisted ideologies of tyrants and collectivists, in the long run they always return, searching for the almost forgotten abundances of liberty. When the people go searching for freedom once again, the survivalists, the enduring watchmen, will be waiting to greet them. Advantage #8: Survivalists Are Not Afraid To Remind Society Of Its Mistakes It is easy to be apathetic to the criminality of government. It is easy to cocoon ones self inside his own little life, within the minor dramas of his family and of his job. It is easy to turn away from the big picture and hope that the monsters of the world sort themselves out, or overlook us entirely. Unfortunately, this is not how human history has ever been resolved. The worst problems never disappear on their own. Survivalists understand this and are willing to take personal risks in order to uncover the nature of the beast for anyone willing to listen. They understand that their best chance of survival is to preempt a disaster before it ever occurs. The value of this to the longevity of our species cannot be calculated. Without those who can overcome the fears created by conformity, mankind is lost. Our very future depends upon the principles of survivalism, which teaches us to embrace our individuality, love the individualism within others, stand unyielding in the face of oppression, and fight to our dying breath to see that the best in all of us is one day fully realized.

1	Concerned handlers for Pope John Paul II announced Monday that, in recent weeks, the 78-year-old Catholic leader has 'just been blessing everything in sight.' Above: The aging Pope John Paul II, who observers say has been 'consecrating random objects like there's no tomorrow.' The frail pope has been confined to bed ever since his Jan. 28 return from North America. 'We are, of course, very concerned for His Holiness' mental condition,' said chief papal physician Giuseppe Clementi, standing by the pope's bedside, surrounded by dozens of newly consecrated pill bottles, urine-specimen cups and orthopedic slippers. 'Pretty much anything you hold up in front of his face these days, he blesses.' Vatican handlers said they first noticed signs of papal deterioration on Jan. 26, as he deplaned at St. Louis' Lambert International Airport upon his arrival in the U.S. After descending the airplane staircase and kissing the runway, as is papal tradition, the pope broke free of his handlers and blessed a luggage cart, a podium, a Life photographer's camera, the plane's left-side landing gear, three TWA flight attendants, and two of the Swiss Guard who were attempting to release his grip on the landing struts and subdue him. Upon realizing that he was being physically restrained, the pope worked his papal-signet-ring-bearing right hand free and blessed the entire aircraft, which now resides in its own special five-story grotto under St. Peter's Basilica. The pope's blessing rampage also necessitated the construction a 40,000-square-foot reliquary for the storage of thousands of now-holy items. Housed in the structure are such hallowed objects as the Blessed Vacuum Cleaner Of St. Matthew, the Consecrated Ball Of Crumpled-Up Paper, and the Sacred Zagnut Bar Of Christ, which the pope discovered and blessed during his recent U.S. visit. Above: Pope John Paul II sanctifies a Cheetos bag. The only artifacts not stored in the reliquary are those of medical necessity, which have been left in the pope's room. These include the Most Holy Intravenous Saline Drip, Maria The Day Nurse Of The Blessed Virgin, and the Electroencephalogram and Electrocardiogram Of St. Peter and St. Paul. 'That which the Vicar of Christ has sanctified becomes a holy object and must be used for no other purpose,' Clementi said. 'Therefore, it is unthinkable to commit the mortal sin of sacrilege by, for instance, either restraining the pope from the consecration of his strained beets or emptying the bedpans once he has filled and blessed them.' Though concerned about the pope's erratic behavior, Vatican staffers did not admit to a loss of morale. 'The pope's condition may be somewhat disconcerting to those of us charged with his care, but it is no doubt God's will,' said papal drool-bib acolyte Thomassini Moretti, a nine-year veteran of Vatican spoon-feedings. 'I have seen many mysterious things in the service of the Lamb of God, and I must trust that my wristwatch, lunch sack and right leg have become holy artifacts as part of some divine plan that I was not meant to comprehend.' Moretti said he first noticed changes in the pope in May 1996, when he held a much-publicized public baptism of pigeons and stray dogs in Rome's Trevi Fountain. Later that year, he made headlines again when he announced the excommunication of Big Boy and released a controversial papal bull condemning 'picnic apes.' 
2	Watch The Queen Humiliate Obama In Front Of The Entire Royal Family [VIDEO] This is not the first time weve seen President Obama humiliated by a world leader, but this is probably one of the most blatant. In a video from a 2011 dinner at Buckingham Palace, Obama attempted to toast the Queen of England with a quote from Shakespeare. However, when he raises his glass, he receives little return from the Queen. His face says it allhes completely humiliated. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Has Obama clearly lost respect as a leader throughout the world? 
2	Chris Wallace Tried To Bait Ben Carson By Calling Him A Prop For Black Voters, Immediately Gets A Response He Didnt Expect In a recent interview with Dr. Ben Carson, Fox News host Chris Wallace pitched an insulting, questionably racist question to the former presidential candidate because he is a black Donald Trump supporter. Over the weekend, Trump and Carson made an appearance at a black congregation in Carsons hometown of Detroit. Do you worry that youre being used as a prop for black voters and that supporting Donald Trump will end up hurting your credibility in the black community? Wallace asked, after noting that some Latinos for Trump dropped out of the campaign after his immigration speech. Its not about me, Carson responded. Its about our nation. He then pointed out that Trump is not saying anything more controversial than what former President Bill Clinton said in his 1995 State of the Union address. Donald Trump is changing that narrative and is really starting to talk about this in a very serious way, Carson said earlier in the segment. And whats going to be accomplished is something that many in the Democratic Party fear and that is an alternative. Carson then went on to argue that Democratic leadership has failed American cities, like Detroit. Theyve been in charge of our cities for a long time. If our inner cities are weak and are not prospering, how can our entire nation prosper? he questioned. The city I grew up in, Detroit, was once the most prosperous city in the United States, some people say in the world. From there it went to the largest bankruptcythat was not a coincidence. And we see that in our large cities across the nation under Democratic control. Watch the interview below and tell us what you think. Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com 
3	Obama Floats The Idea of Mandatory VotingBrandon Turbeville Obama cited Australia and other countries with such laws as an example of ways in which the idea could be implemented. Of course, in Australia, citizens who do not vote are subject to fines and even imprisonment but that is no matter to Obama since fining and imprisoning individuals for refusing to become part of the hive, purchasing private products, etc. has been a hallmark of his administration since day one. Funny enough, Obama suggested that one of the answers to the corrupting influence of money over American elections was not to end the practice of following horrendous rulings like Citizens United or to impose more regulations on political campaigns and donations, or even public funding of elections. No, Obamas answer to the fact that Congress and the President are all available to the highest bidder is to force the American people to vote for them whether they like it or not. It would be transformative if everybody voted, Obama said. That would counteract [campaign] money more than anything. If everybody voted, then it would completely change the political map in this country. While the President did not officially announce the start of an initiative to begin mandatory voting, he promoted the idea vociferously, even ludicrously claiming that compulsory voting may end up being a better strategy in the short run than any other possible policy. After complaining that Democrats had been defeated in last years elections, which Obama attributed to his claim that Democrats tend to stay home more than Republicans he stated, The people who tend not to vote are young, theyre lower income, theyre skewed more heavily towards immigrant groups and minority groups. And theyre the folks who are scratching and climbing to get into the middle class and theyre working hard. Theres a reason why some folks try to keep them away from the polls. We should want to get them into the polls. In other words, Obama stated that he wants to ensure that his base, duped by propaganda, phony promises, and hope and change comes out for future elections by any means necessary. But there is much more to this issue than a sore loser whining and conniving for his party to win future elections. It is about control. In the midterm 2014 elections, voter turnout was at its lowest levels since World War II. This is partly because Americans have grown vastly more apathetic over the years but also in large part because most Americans have figured out that both parties are exactly the same. A large portion of the American population is well aware that Democrats and Republicans despite putting on a good show on the campaign trail are bought and paid for by the same interests. They understand that electing either of the two selected puppets will have exactly the same effect on their lives as it would have if they had reversed their vote in the opposite direction. By forcing Americans to go to the polls and commit the meaningless gesture of pushing a button and choosing between CFR member A and CFR member B, the play will legitimize itself by producing an audience. The buttons pushed are irrelevant, however. The goal is to continue passing so many laws and policies that compel the average citizen to do something they do not want to do or have no interest in doing until each individual is forced to ask permission for even the most inane activities. Pushing buttons on a screen may seem like no big deal at first but the power of the State, the Corporation, bank, and secret society is growing day by day. The police state is already here to enforce every whim of any of the aforementioned parties. All they need is permission to do so.

1	Trying unsuccessfully to ignore the child as he grasped his genitals between his thumb and index finger, wincing sources reported Wednesday that local boy Jacob Faldonna, 2, was really yanking on his penis hard. Oh boy, the incredibly uncomfortable sources reportedly thought to themselves as they tried to carry on a normal conversation despite the toddler tugging firmly at his penis and then releasing it, giving it pull after pull, over and over again. God, hes still doing it. At press time, sources confirmed the child had momentarily heeded his fathers stern admonishment that We dont do that before grabbing his foreskin and stretching it out as far as it would go. 
1	Merrily describing the contrast in stature as a giant next to a leprechaun, members of the Copeland family Friday reportedly took the deepest delight in the nearly 9-inch height difference between Linda Copeland, 43, and her 14-year-old son, Alex. Will you look at that beanpole? He just towers over her! said Diane Copeland, whose jubilant observations of her sister and eldest nephew elicited laughter and claps of joy from grandparents, aunts, uncles, and younger siblings at a recent family gathering. Hows the weather up there, bud? My God, just look at those two! Can you believe little ol Linda made that thing? At press time, the family went silent as Diane joyfully pointed out the height difference between Alex and his father. 
2	BREAKING: Texas Makes Major Announcement Towards Seceding From The Union Throughout Obamas presidency, Texas has been known to take a stand against his policies. Now, the state is making major moves that could indicate a secession from the union. Texas was an independent country for nine years in the mid-1800s. That period shaped an independent mind state that has left Texas with the nickname The Lone Star Republic. Now, the state legislature has just announced that their gold holdings are going to be kept within their own borders. Thats $650 million that will be kept within Texas, in a move intended to protect the states economic viability. The gold will need to be moved back into the state from Manhattan. Just moving it would be pretty expensive and, unless Texas is anticipating withdrawing from the Union, which I suspect is some peoples want, I dont see what advantage it is, Edwin Truman from the Peterson Institute for International Economics told reporters. 
2	Teen Girl Beaten By Blacks For Being Too Blonde In Apparent Hate Crime A new video has surfaced showing what appears to be yet another violent hate crime. The clip shows a teenage girl getting jumped and beaten simply because she is blonde. According to LiveLeak, the 13-year-old girl was walking home from school minding her own business, when she was attacked by Mayora Ortiz, a 16-year-old girl. Although Ortiz did not know the victim, she decided to launch the attack when she saw that she blonde. She needs to take the beat, [she] was the only blonde in school! Ortiz allegedly told witnesses after the incident took place. The video was extraordinarily difficult to watch, but the results are even more heartbreaking. The young girl was shortly after admitted to the hospital, where she discovered she may have lost hearing in one ear. Watch the video below and tell us your thoughts. UPDATE: Sorry the video has been removed. 
1	Though intended to cheer up family members, the unflagging optimism of 4-year-old Shelby Cooper has served only to exacerbate the financial stress her parents have experienced since her father lost his job two years ago, sources reported Monday. It used to make me smile when shed say, Dont worry! Youll get a million dollars! said Ken Cooper, admitting he has since grown to dread his daughters good-luck nose kisses. But now when she crawls onto my lap and tells me I shouldnt be sad because Im the strongest Daddy in the whole world, it just makes me feel like an even bigger failure. At press time, Shelby was coloring a picture of her mother, who when reached for comment said drawings of her leaving the hospital on a rainbow only made her worry more about how the family would pay for her cancer treatments. 
3	20 Items to Kick Start Your Food Storage PlanGaye Levy No matter how many times I write about food, there is always something new to consider or a new and different way to present the same old information in a more useful manner. With that in mind, today I would like to share a method for getting started with your food storage program in an easy, step by step, and cost effective manner. To be truthful, my initial goal with this article was to respond to readers who were just getting started and wanted a shopping list of things to buy for their food storage pantry. I also wanted to compile a checklist that more experienced preppers could use to compare what they had to what they needed. My goal can pretty much be summed up by saying that I wanted to write about getting started with food storage the easy way. No frills, no fluff just a common sense list of food items to get you started. With that goal in mind, let me say this: this is not a list of items intended for deep storage. Nor is it a list of items packaged so that they have a 25 year shelf life. (And in reality, do you really need your stored food to last that long?) I am also not going to list items that might be foreign to your palate, difficult to find, or too costly to absorb into your weekly shopping budget. What you are going to get is a list of 20 items that can easily be purchased at your local grocery store, warehouse club and surprisingly, even online at Amazon. They can be purchased in one shot, all at once, or you can pick up one item from the list each week over a period of twenty weeks. The choice is yours. All I ask is that you consider getting each of the items on the list and that you also consider getting started sooner rather than later. I promise you that this will be easy. I am going to include quantities that require no extra thought, no calculator and no formula for determining servings or overall quantities. Like I said. This is going to be EASY! 1. 20 pounds of Rice. As boring as it may sound, rice is one of the backbones of every food storage plan. It is filling, nutritious and with the use of varied seasonings and condiments, highly adaptable in a variety of tasty meals. The choice of white, brown or a combination of the two is up to you. White rice has a longer shelf life but brown rice has more nutritional benefits. In my own household, I like to combine the two along with some Jasmine, Basmati and Calrose sticky rice. 2. 20 pounds of Pinto Beans. Like rice, beans are the backbone to every food storage plan. You may substitute white, kidney or other types of dried beans but honestly, pintos are one of the least expensive dried beans and in my opinion, one of the tastiest. Need help cooking beans? when you are done here be sure to read Survival Woman Learns to Cook Dried Beans and you should too and Respect for the Lowly Pinto Bean. 3. 20 cans of Vegetables. Green beans, peas, corn and canned tomatoes are good choices. Let your taste and budget guide you. Buy what you currently eat and enjoy. 4. 20 cans of Fruit. Peaches, pears, pineapple, fruit cocktail again, this is your choice. Fruits add a nice sweetness to life and these days we all could use more of that. 5. 20 cans of Meat. Chicken, tuna, shrimp, salmon, Vienna sausages, beef stew and yes, even the ubiquitous Spam will satisfy this requirement. Did you know that you can even purchase canned roast beef? Again, let your taste and budget guide you there is lots to choose from. 6. 4 pounds Oats. Remember when you were little and Mom warmed your tummy with a nice comforting bowl of oatmeal? That is what we are talking about here. A bowl of oatmeal topped with canned fruit can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner. 7. 2 large jars of Peanut Butter. Peanut butter is an excellent source of protein, with plenty of calories for energy and sustenance. Besides, who can resist the taste of a gooey spoonful of luscious peanut butter? 8. 2 large jars of Tang or other powdered drink mix. The only requirement here is get something you like and something fortified with Vitamin C. I am not going to preach and tell you to avoid artificial sweeteners. If Crystal Lite works for you in normal times, go for it. 9. 5 pounds of Powdered Milk. Milk is a great source of protein and other nutrients. In addition it is filling and can be used to top your oatmeal cereal or stirred into your coffee as a flavor enhancer. 10. 5 pounds of Salt. It goes without saying that salt is an essential for survival plus it has a lot of uses other than as an enhancement for food. That said, our bodies need salt to survive. Read more about salt in the article Reasons You Need Salt in the Prepper Pantry. 11. 10 pounds of Pancake Mix. An all in one pancake mix (such as Krusteaz) only requires the addition of water to make up a batch of batter. As with oatmeal, a big plate of pancakes, perhaps with some honey or jam, will make a satisfying meal that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner. 12. 2 pounds of Honey and 2 large jars of Jam. We all need some sweetness in our life, even with Mother Nature or life deals us a blow. I choose honey and jam over sugar but at the end of the day, you can make a substitution or simply mix and match. 13. 10 pounds of Pasta. Pasta is familiar and easy to fix. Pasta is a dense form of wheat but so much easier to deal with when you are first starting out. Besides, it is a fabulous comfort food. 14. 10 cans or jars of Spaghetti Sauce. Cheap yet satisfying, canned pasta sauce on a bed of pasta creates a satisfying meal that can be put together in minutes. 15. 20 cans of Soup or Broth. The beauty of canned soups and canned broth is that they are a budget friendly. Soups are an all-in-one meal solution. All you need is a can opener and a spoon and you have a meal ready to go. For an extra satisfying meal, try using a can of soup as part of the cooking water for your rice. Yummy! 16. One large jug of Oil. Choose olive oil, coconut oil or some other cooking oil, but definitely get some. Oil is essential for good health, fueling our energy stores and providing support for fat-soluble vitamins and nutrients as they work their way through our system. Not only that, but a bit of fat in your diet adds flavor and makes you feel satisfied when you are done eating. 17. Spices and Condiments. Adding some spices and condiments to your food storage pantry will allow you to vary the taste of your storage foods, thus mitigating some of the boredom that is likely to occur over time. The exact mix of spices and condiments is up to you but some suggestions include garlic, chili, Tabasco (hot sauce), salsa, oregano, thyme and black pepper. 18. 5 pounds of Coffee or 100 Tea Bags. There are those that will say that life without coffee is not life at all. Whole bean (assuming you have a hand grinder), ground or instant take your choice. Or substitute tea. Green tea and many herbal teas are quite therapeutic so if you like tea, this may be a good way to go. 19. 2 large bags of Hard Candies. Hard candy can go a long way toward making an unpleasant situation bearable. Butterscotch drops, peppermints and even lemon drops are good. Have fun with this and pick up a couple of bags of your favorites! 20. Mini LED Flashlight and Extra Batteries. Okay, this is a cheater item. It is not food but it is all important and so it will not hurt to stash a miniature flashlight or two along with the edibles in your food storage pantry. My top pick of the moment in the Blocklite. This thing just goes and goes and goes plus, it does not take up any storage space. BUT THERE IS NO WHEAT AND NO FLOUR ON THIS LIST! So you noticed! There are no wheat berries or other whole grains (other than oats/oatmeal) on this list and there is also no flour. While there is a place for these items in a long term storage plan, I consider them part of the second phase of food storage. The truth is that many preppers would not have a clue as to what to do with wheat, so why push the envelope? The same goes with flour. To make flour usable, you also need yeast and baking powder plus the skill and know-how to bake. Not only that, you most likely will need an outdoor oven of sorts especially if the grid is down post disaster. That, and more, will come later, but for now, while covering the basics, it is much simpler and far more practical to stick with easy to cook foods that can be combined into interesting meals without the need for much experience other than opening a can or a package. THE FINAL WORD As you read though this list, I hope you can visualize the number and variety of meals that can be made by mixing and matching the items listed in the kick-start plan. How about some rice, salsa and canned chicken cooked into a casserole in your cast iron skillet? Or pancakes topped with canned peaches and honey? Then there are pinto beans, combined with rice and corn and topped with a bit of Tabasco for a fiesta-style meal. Well okay, perhaps these are not gourmet delights but with the added condiments, they will taste good and be as healthy as you can expect food to be when fresh meats and produce or unavailable. Is this a complete list of everything you will need to be fully prepared food-wise? Heck no. Are the quantities adequate to feed a family for a month, three months or longer? Perhaps a month but not much longer. Truthfully, for long term storage you need more food and more variety as well as some packaging methods (Mylar bags or buckets plus oxygen absorbers) to insure that your will food stay viable and pest free for years to come. But for now we are more focused on either getting started our rounding out our basic survival pantry. And for that, these 20 items will do just fine. Enjoy your next adventure through common sense and thoughtful preparation! linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	5-Year-Old Boy Threatened with Suspension For Making Lego Gun At SchoolYoutube Joseph Cardosa, 5 years old, was participating in an after-school program at Hyannis West Elementary School on Cape Cod when school officials say he created a gun out of LEGOs, reports Fox25 Boston. The boys parents told the station that the school issued Joseph an official warning, and said a second warning would lead to suspension. 
1	Retail giant Wal-Mart has announced in recent weeks that, effective immediately, it is cutting as many as 13,000 of what it somehow has the audacity to refer to as 'jobs' from its corporate payroll. According to Wal-Mart representatives, the, for lack of a better word, positions will be cut from the company's underperforming Sam's Club division. Analysts reported that Monday's layoffs marked one of the largest so-called downsizings of what can hardly even be termed employment in the company's history. CEO Mike Duke 'Obviously, it is a sad day whenever we have to let go of any of the people we have dehumanized so thoroughly that we can barely muster the will to describe them as employees,' Wal-Mart CEO Mike Duke told reporters. 'However, this is a business, and we must do what we can to stay competitive while still paying our existing workforce what we actually refer to with a straight face as wages.' Sources inside the company confirmed that roughly 1,200 people will be forced to leave what one might very charitably characterize as their careers in the neon-lit dungeon known as the membership recruitment office. In addition, another 10,000 worn husks of human beings will be relieved of what it literally induces pain to say are their job responsibilities handing out free in-store samples to customers. 'We tried to solve the problem by cutting what is hard for me in good conscience to even call benefits,' Duke said. 'We even tried negotiating with what we would probably refer to as the workers' union if, in fact, they even had such a thing. But ultimately, our only feasible option, financially, was to make what I'm going to just lie and call a very hard decision and let go some of the faceless drones that I condescendingly refer to in public as members of our 'corporate family.'' 'There's no way I can actually say what I am about to say without literally inducing deep, hearty peals of unbelieving laughter from anyone within earshot,' he added. 'But all those laid off should still hold their heads up high.' Thousands of what it just feels really, really wrong to describe as anything other than wage slaves have responded to the layoffs with strong objections. 'It doesn't seem fair, after all the time I put in with this abusive prison state regarded for some reason as a company,' said former membership recruiter Robert Weldon, 46. 'Obviously, this is going to severely reduce the overall quality of the unceasingly grim reminder of financial hardships that I call my life.' Although many experts have deemed these layoffs an unfortunate reflection of the economic climate, instead of what they actually are, which is a borderline fucking human rights violation, a number of prominent analysts said current market trends show that Wal-Mart may soon recover from its current woes, as if anyone with an ounce of human decency even gives a shit. 'Clearly, this move signals what I'm coldly and unemotionally going to describe as a change in Wal-Mart's current business strategy, and statistics show that it may pay off for them in the long run,' economist and author Jeffrey Fields said. 'And as for the poor, exploited creatures whom I shall skirt the issue and refer to simply as workers, I'm sure they will be back on their feet in what no honest observer of the facts could possibly describe as no time.' Added Fields, 'This is, after all, what we still somehow have the nerve to call America.' 
1	Amid mounting evidence of White House ties to Enron, President Bush attempted to distance himself from yet another failing Texas energy company Monday. 'I have had no business dealings with this particular company,' Bush said. 'Why would anyone associate me with a Houston-based energy giant that's mismanaged itself into the ground?' Bush added that his oil company was already almost bankrupt when he took it over, and that it was not his decision to trade away Sammy Sosa. 
3	A Third of Americans Will Have Only One Choice on Their Obamacare Plan Next YearBy Melissa Dykes Now, it is collapsing by design. Sadly, this was the plan all along to completely socialize health care after the collapse of competition in this new government-backed monopoly market that represents approximately one-sixth of the entire U.S. economy. A stinking scam to take the whole thing over and our health with it. But really this is going to hurt a lot of Americans. As CNBC reports: One-third of the United States may have just a single insurer to pick from on Obamacare marketplaces in 2017, an analysis released Friday suggests. Seven entire states are projected to have just one carrier in 2017: Alaska, Alabama, Kansas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Wyoming, according to research by the Avalere consultancy. The findings reflect the effect of announcements this summer that three major insurers Aetna, UnitedHealth and Humana will sharply reduce the number of areas where they will sell individual health plans in 2017 due to financial losses on those plans, as well as the failures of most Obamacare co-op insurance plans. Is one choice really a choice at all? This is going to make it much more difficult on everyone especially the Middle Class, who not only face stagnant wages and skyrocketing living costs, but now must find a way to cope with sharply increasing insurance premiums as well. And unlike the wealthy who can afford to pay, or the poor who get subsidies and compensation from the government, no one is there to keep these struggling Americans caught in the middle afloat. In fact, the whole plan hinges on millions and millions of average people paying into this, then getting sick, then desperately needing medical coverage. All this makes President Obama a liar, a cheat and, to be frank a real asshole. And who knows what the hell this vague and open-for-abuse statement means: Congress and the administration can choose to stabilize these markets and re-establish competition but only through a consensus process that brings in a broader swath of the uninsured, Mendelson said. I mean, seriously, we were all forced into buying crappy health care plans or else forced to pay an exorbitant tax penalty. And what did we get for it besides completely screwed? 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! From Mrs. Dykes: Sadly, this was the plan all along to completely socialize health care From the CNBC article she cites: One-third of the United States may have just a single insurer to pick from on Obamacare marketplaces in 2017, an analysis released Friday suggests. Such forced patronage is not socialism per se, but a hybrid of privatized health-care and government provided health care that combines the worst features of both systems. Real socialized medical care, as seen in the social democracies of Europe doesnt force the purchasing of private medical care but rather taxes citizens and provides free care. The American system does no such thing, but rather facilitates corporate monopoly as a form of crony capitalism. One can rebuke or deride socialized medicine, but at least get the terminology correct when discussing Obama-care, rather than misleading readers by calling the ACA socialized health care. Socialized the American Way ? Yes, the American Way is the Public Private Partnership otherwise known as Fascism. The U.S. should foot the bill for healthcare for all of its people, All it would take is the Fed making a few extra keystrokes to conjure up the trillions of dollars in Notes that could be thrown onto the pile of debt the American people will never pay anyway. In the meantime well just have to pay a little bit of interest, oh wait, with NIRP, theyll even pay us to borrow the money. While theyre at it they might as well take a few seconds to print up some Basic Minimum Income spending cash too, and hey while youre at it, add a bunch of zeros to it so we can all be billionaires like Soros, Gates, Trump and the Clintons. Id prefer something along these lines: ever notice that most of the people that are on assistance are fat from over eating. Not ALWAYS from overeating but by not having the correct nutritional foods because junk food is more calories, but less nutrition, at a cheaper price. Fresh Produce has gone up at LEAST 20% in price while junk food has gone down in the same time period. When you only get so much a month to feed your family, many times nutrition goes out the window for quantity, not quality makes since. Im disabled after paying into the system as a home health aide for 25 years and only get $118 in food stamps for myself. The nearest grocery store is 6 blocks away and I have to use a power chair to get there BUT the prices there for produce is higher than a cats back at Halloween and lets not even talk about the meat prices!!! Canned goods are almost as bad and the only thing really cheap to get is junk food, Totinos Pizza or the Banquet TV dinners Move back to where you came from and pay 60% taxes for that band aid. Socialism doesnt work they have the worst outcomes the lowest input and the worst dental care. They might be less obese but only because they have no money left to eat on. Where I come from already has dysfunctional and extremely expensive medical services. Shall I give you a hint as to where that is? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/126e701b49d43e019abbbdc28289b924129bedec332564c69c39643e6089b1bf.jpg Mussolini defined Fascism as a merger between the state and corporations. Obamacare was a scam created for 2 reasons. 1) To steal the hard-earning money of Americans in order to enrich private insurance companies; 2) to prevent states from implementing state run Medicaid programs that save taxpayers billions but which private insurance companies big pharma couldnt profit from. Obamacare is not socialized medicine. Socialized medicine was what the Soviets had. No co-pays, no deductibles, alternative care such as chiropractics and biofeedback, etcActually the Libyans had it too along with free housing, education, and utilities, a good reason why we bombed Libya like Yugoslavia out of existence. Im sorry Madame Author, but it is people like you with a discredited ideology that is hurting Americans. Even your use of the word socialize creates a prejudice against single payer healthcare. Guess what, your lies, innuendo and faulty reasoning are not going to win over any converts. It is totally shameful that the US, which constantly crows about being number 1, should have millions dying for lack of healthcare, because it is much too expensive for ordinary people to absorb. Did you know for instance that American women are dying in childbirth at a rate that exceeds that of some third world countries? I suggest you get another job, being a paid shill for venal insurance companies is immoral and unethical! The real question is: Why are health care costs so high in the first place? Look into that one and get back to me. Without even doing any investigation, the reasons that I have heard referenced relating to your question have to do with the US governments acquiescence to big pharma and big insurance companies to allow them to charge the highest prices for their products. Certainly the Bush League agreed to allow big pharma to charge full rates for meds under Medicare. Also big insurance adds approximately a 30% premium for its administration of medical insurance claims (this is a cost that single payer systems to not have). And you suppose that same government will administer socialized (it is socialized because the money has to come from somewhere and that somewhere is forced taxation of the people) health care any better than it is now? We can always hope cant we? First though the US has to start walking away from Fascism. That is, government has to separate itself from the military/industrial and other corporate complex. It has to be free to do what is best for the American people without having to fight American corporations to do it. Other First Word nations have managed to reduce their costs to a percentage of American wasted healthcare dollars and still cover everyone! If others can do it, so could the US. It just requires the desire to do so. The UNITED STATES is a corporation. It can never be free from corporate control because it is owned by the IMF which is owned by the Vatican, the origniator of corporation. In fact, all governments are now corporations. They dont care about you or your health. In fact they are actively trying to reduce the population for easier control. Health care systems in other countries are not as solvant as you have been led to believe. Fact facts, until we find a way to rid the world of the NWO crowd, nothing will work as promised. Trump will fix it and fix it fast 
3	Zika Zone Turns Into Ghost Town as Planes Spray Neurotoxic Insecticide Over ResidentsBy Joseph Jankowski The slowdown in pedestrian traffic coincides with the intensified effort by the state of Florida to combat the mosquitoes which carry the Zika virus by blanketing the town of Wynwood with insecticide. Its actually been pretty much a ghost town, an eclectic plant shop owner in the area, who was only able to make one sale on an otherwise busy Saturday,told CBS Miami. Yesenia Candelario at Marine Layer told CBS that it was a very slow, quiet weekend in the trendy, artsy enclave. Theres a bunch of restaurants here and now we have new shops. So we have a lot of people come in for brunch and tourists who wanna see the murals and shop around, Candelario explained. But its not like that due to the Zika virus. Last week the state of Florida started a campaign to kill off theAedes species of mosquito by spraying an insecticide called Naled over a 10-mile radius surrounding the Wynwood area. At least 15 people in the citys Wynwood area are believed to have been infected with the virus through mosquito bites. According to Cornell University, the organophosphate chemical Naled ismoderately to highly toxic by ingestion, inhalation and dermal absorption. From Cornell.edu: In laboratory tests, Naled exposure caused increased aggressiveness and a deterioration of memory and learning. It was also shown to interfere with prenatal brain development and has a cancerous byproduct. From the No Spray Coalition: Naleds breakdown product DICHLORVOS (another organophosphate insecticide) interferes with prenatal brain development. In laboratory animals, exposure for just 3 days during pregnancy when the brain is growing quickly reduced brain size 15 percent. DICHLORVOS also causes cancer, according to the International Agency for Research on Carcinogens. In laboratory tests, it caused leukemia and pancreatic cancer. Two independent studies have shown that children exposed to household no-pest strips containing dichlorvos have a higher incidence of brain cancer than unexposed children. Aerial applications of naled can drift up to one-half mile. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, naled is moderately to highly toxic to birds and fish. It also reduced egg production and hatching success in tests with birds and reduced growth in tests with juvenile fish. convulsions, paralysis, and death. When looking at footage of the aerial spraying occurring over Wynwood, and the fact that the insecticide can drift a half mile, it is absolutely no wonder why tourists and locals would be discouraged from going outside in the area. Why risk being sprayed with or exposed to a toxic chemical that could negatively affect you neurologically? It is also interesting to note that the Zika hysteria has been fueled by the supposed fact that the virus causesmicrocephaly, a birth defect that causes an infants head to be significantly smaller than the heads of other children of the same age and sex. It could be extremely risky and potentially counterproductive to fight the Zika spreading mosquitoeswith Naled considering the lab tests that showreduced brain size of 15 percent in animals exposed to the chemical.

They should hang! those pesky minorities just wont stop breeding govt gotta do sumthin, cause we need room for more different minorities we dont like the ones weve already imported Im sure the water supply will be targeted for maximum effect. Zika, WestNile and H1n1 oh my. Whatever shall we do. Another hoax that the alphabets dreamed up. SoooScarrrry. Boogie mans to the left of me boogie mans to the right of me here I am stuck in the middle with my pipe and beer. Oh my. Yeah, I cant keep track of what Im supposed to be terrified of from day to day. Good thing thats what the government is for, because I cant think for myself. Boy theres a lot of stupid people running cities, states, and the feds. I wonder how many bought stocks in these chemical companies before spending millions of taxpayers dollars? YOU are the insects they are spraying! Zika has been around for 70 years, its just cold symptoms, not deadly. The small heads are the cause of a vaccine. or pesticide Do you think these planes will be spraying over Bill Gatess mansions or any of the .001 %. Its not zika that is killing people and making them deadly ill. Its the damn chemicals,most made by Monsanto. This is a setup by obama. they didnt have an e-bola outbreak in Africa until bill gates released it from his research facilities in Africa now we have zika virus was unknown until bill gates started releasing them from his facilities and now they want to release them un purpose and allow the chemical companies to produce more vaccines loaded with heavy metal preservatives Bill and Melinda Gates really want to kill you and 95% of the planet population. Its in Bills DNA, his father was head of Planned Parenthood at one time. The introduction of GMO food, which would sicken all the nations was a premeditation from its very begin. Just follow the timing of events related to the development of herbicide glyphosate, which is an artificial replacement for a glycine, a human inhibiting neurotransmitter, known in ~30ies to feed special inducible types of cancer. This chemical was patented in 70ies, and in 80-90ies ~90% of all GMO crops were deliberately designed in order to make them resistant to it, so that most of the main feed crops, their plants would become dependent on this carcinogen, antibiotic and metal chelator. The huge pressure to spread the OXT513A I agree. The masses are under attack by deception and war of all facets. Unfortunately, the obvious has not entered most peoples radar. It does show that there are no good nations, and some very vile ones run by the depraved. All bodily systems are under attack, and by sheer stupidity, the web of life is too. Law has been inverted to serve the few connected families so trial has become irrelevant. Here in the US, politicians, think tanks, secret societies, military and others need to be turned inside out starting at the local level. The federalist mentality should be kicked out and central government replaced by the states back to the articles of confederation. The Federalist Party was voted out of existence once before. It needs to be done again. Both parties have been complicit since the beginning. The ZIKA topic goes way beyond politics, it touches the fundamental principles of life on this planet and how it can be affected, by science, which in large is still an ideology, not the description of reality. The politics is in fact detrimental in all this. Take for example the safety statements from FDA files assessing the dangers of Oxitec GMO mosquitos, quote: More generally, in the case of birds eating mosquitoes (and humans Thank you for your reply. Nightmares that are not fathomable for most look like our new reality. Transgenesis is truly evil beyond understanding. Most of it is not approved or has no organization that is responsible. Universities, research corporations and government entities, with the blessing of our governments may make the planet uninhabitable. The USDAs Generally Recognized as Safe is as big a lie. There is no oversight. The FDA is just as ugly, and as you point out, this will end up in our own DNA as well as other living things. Mutagens are available in many different forms and are being applied literally everywhere on the planet and firmament. Your government just proving that they are dying to kill you. It is somewhat surprising to me that the vast majority of people fail to realize that government, local, state and federal see you,the people as their enemy. 
1	Kenneth Fresh, 34, son of original Pillsbury doughboy Marv 'Poppin'' Fresh, was killed Monday when a startled housewife beat him to death with a broom. 'I was sweeping the kitchen floor and lamenting our family's usual humdrum breakfast biscuits when I heard a strange, high-pitched voice directly behind me,' said a shaken Debbie Combs, 44. 'All he could say was 'Try my new flaky Cres' before my instincts took over and I pounded him with all my might.' Rescue workers frantically poked Fresh for nearly 20 minutes in an effort to revive the doughboy, but were unsuccessful. 
1	Though he was once confused by the number of frail, seemingly mentally unstable people concentrated around the Houston and Broadway area of Manhattan, local man Paul Nichols, 38, told reporters Monday that as soon as he figured out there was a methadone clinic nearby, that pretty much explained everything. Oh, I get it now, said Nichols, who, during his walk to work, used to wonder why he would regularly see comatose-looking individuals holding cigarettes and murmuring to themselves. Makes sense. After learning of the methadone clinic, Nichols reportedly told his coworkers, who then nodded and said they thought that might be what was going on there. 
3	We Can Secure Syrias Borders, But How Do We Eliminate The Ideology Of Terrorism?Op-Ed by Afraa Dagher Perhaps the bomber was a moderate terrorist, or maybe he was one of those who were part of the conciliation, a newly placated person who has been assimilated back to Syrian society! The terrorist parked his car bomb on the side of the road in Zahraa suburb. He then detonated the bomb by remote control. As usual, people rushed and gathered to watch this bombing. But, the terrorist had other plans for them. He blew himself up amidst the people staring at the car bomb. He was wearing an explosive belt. This suburb has been targeted more than 60 times since the beginning of this so-called Arab Spring. The general demographic of residents in this site is mostly Alawite. However, that doesnt mean you are going to see only Alawite there. Syrians move from side to side all Syrians from all religions. This bombing claimed the lives of more than 24 persons. At least those are the numbers we have at this moment. Among the names of martyrs, whom we could identify, we saw Christian names as well. Many other bodies were impossible to be identified! Only shreds were left. Many other wounded persons are now in critical condition too, with the numbers of injured over a hundred. Such bombings used to take place in Syrian provinces, conveniently before any peace talks such as the one to be held in Geneva in the coming days. This is just a sampling of the nature of the moderate opposition who we are going to negotiate with. In addition, I must criticize some of those who are in important positions in this province. After any conciliation with these rebels, there must be a real attempt to clean the area of explosive devices. There must also be an attempt to determine who is really assimilated back into Syrian society and who retains their Takfiri mentality. Of course, I dont blame the Provincial leadership for everything. After all, how can we see what is in the minds of these people? It is easier to secure your border with your state enemy like Turkey, Israel and (unfortunately) with Lebanon and Jordan where the terrorists are coming from than to change the minds of those among us who harbor terrorist allegiances and who believe suicide bombings are the road to Paradise. This jihadist mentality is the new land mine, and the ground in which it is planted is the mind of the rebels. Perhaps, at some point, you will have your chance to meet them in person in your own corner of the world, only they will be going by the name of refugees instead of rebels. Perhaps these individuals are waiting in their own sleeper cells right now. We trust our government. However, we also love our people too. To live a life full of bombing is nothing short of horror. As for the Geneva peace talks What kind of peace could you think to bring to the Syrian people when the leaders of these terrorist groups have been tapped to represent Syria by a kingdom of Wahhabites? If Saudi Arabia is choosing the head of the opposition to meet with government representatives, what chance do you think the Syrian people will have at peace? Afraa Dagher is a political analyst currently residing in Syria. She has made numerous media appearances commenting on the current state of affairs inside Syria as well as the nature of the current crisis. She has appeared on RT, PRESS TV, and is a regular guest on selfnews Post writer Brandon Turbevilles Truth on the Tracks radio program. Her website is www.SyrianaAfrona.wordpress.com. Syria is being targeted by Rupert Murdoch, Jacob Rothschild, Benny Netanyahu and Robert Rubin. If Syrians want peace, they are going to have to make a deal with these gentlemen first. Rupert Murdoch is an opportunistic propagandist who makes his money by selling advertising opportunities. He will propagate anything that attracts eyes for sale. The terrorism will stop when people are placated by the termination of their occupation by foreigners looking for a place to expend weapons and military equipment, so that more can be sold to the mercenaries and others that stir up the discord. A pretty good start would be for the US and its NATO allies to stop arming, financing and protecting terrorists. After that maybe quit staging false flags to start unconstitutional wars and destroy nations that are minding their own business and murdering millions of their innocent citizens. That actually would pretty much take care of it. 
1	Coworkers having a drink Friday at the Blue Shamrock Pub reported feeling disgusted with themselves for laughingand in some cases even cracking upat a remark made by an obnoxious member of the group whose behavior up to that point had been worthy of scorn and dismay. 'Why did that jerk have to go and say something so goddamn hilarious?' said a crestfallen Dennis Gladstone, who shook his head as he acknowledged that the comment had caused him to chuckle audibly, thereby validating the total prick. 'Now that we've all laughed it up with that asshole, he'll probably want to come out drinking with us all the time.' According to reporters, Gladstone then paused, giggled to himself, and said, 'Fuck me!' 
1	Whether hes bragging about his newfound appreciation for life or arrogantly refusing to take anything for granted, local man Daniel Oretsky, 38, has been acting insufferably cocky since winning his two-year battle with non-Hodgkins lymphoma, sources confirmed Tuesday. Oretsky, who cant even go five minutes without rubbing everyones face in his gratitude for being alive, has reportedly taken every possible opportunity to pat himself on the back for being cancer-free for the first time since 2013. Since beating cancer, I feel like I have a new lease on life, boasted Oretsky during yet another of his unbelievably self-aggrandizing stories about having a normal white blood cell count. I feel great, and my energy and appetite are backeven just doing mundane things like taking a walk or doing the dishes have this added significance now that Im healthy. Mainly, Im going to focus on making the most of whatever time I have left on earth, the self-centered showboat continued, once again subjecting everyone within earshot to another one of his overbearing, obnoxious vows not to waste the second chance hes been given. When you get through something like this, it really changes your perspective. You understand whats truly important in life. Not content to gloat and strut about in front of just those in his immediate vicinity, the haughty, self-important prick says he plans to seek out the biggest audience he can get by starting a blog to advise and comfort others who are currently going through the same ordeal he went through. Since returning to work last week, the pretentious blowhard has reportedly not been shy about discussing what he vainly refers to as his journey. Sources confirmed that, when asked, the egomaniac wont hesitate to drone on about himself endlessly, talking about how he lost nearly 80 pounds during treatment or how he is just so humbled by the support of his loved ones, barely letting anyone else get a word in edgewise. At my lowest, it was tough going, for sure, the out-of-control narcissist said, implying in so many words that everyone should bow down to his greatness for dealing with months of radiation treatments, chemotherapy, and daily medications. But I would think of my family and how I wasnt done spending time with them yet. Thats what got me through. Not content to gloat and strut about in front of just those in his immediate vicinity, the haughty, self-important prick says he plans to seek out the biggest audience he can get by starting a blog to advise and comfort others who are currently going through the same ordeal he went through. Additionally, Oretsky, who at one point was given a 50-50 chance of survival, has wasted no time ramming his new life goals straight down everyones throats. Pompously citing his clean bill of health, the smug fuck is said to be incredibly adept at bringing any conversation back around to his selfish plans to travel to Europe, learn another language, and still be around to see his children graduate from college. If this experience has taught me one thing, its that we have to live our lives without regret, said Oretsky, who amazingly was still able to speak, given how far he was up his own ass. Because one day when you least expect it, it could all be taken away. We only have this one life, Mr. Look-At-Me-I-Beat-Cancer added, flashing his trademark shit-eating grin. We have to make the most of it. At press time, the unbearable asshole was asking friends, coworkers, and loved ones to sponsor him for an upcoming cancer walk as though it were a foregone conclusion theyd agree.

3	NDAA lawsuit update: press conference held after appeals court hearingMadison Ruppert, Contributor For those who are not aware of the issue at stake, it is one of the most essential rights: the right to due process which is completely removed by the indefinite detention provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (NDAA). Unfortunately, the 2013 version of the NDAA just made the indefinite detention situation worse. Previously, a federal judge found the indefinite detention provisions of the NDAA to be unconstitutional. While this was a major victory for Americans, the decision was essentially overturned by a higher court pending appeal. Now the plaintiffs in the Hedges v. Obama case are arguing their case in the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, where the first hearing was held on Wednesday. A brief statement was posted here and a call to action from Chris Hedges can be seen here. Check out the highlights from the press conference below. Did I forget anything or miss any errors?

3	White House Study Finds Guns Save Lives: Consistently Lower Injury Rates Among Gun Using Crime VictimsMac Slavo Citing the Sandy Hook mass shooting last year, democrats on the hill have claimed that we must restrict gun ownership and strip the Second Amendment for the safety of our children and the general public. But a new report commissioned by the White House titled Priorities for Research to Reduce the Threat of Firearm-related Violence suggests what many self defense gun proponents have been saying for years. The report, ordered under one of President Obamas 23 Executive Orders signed in the wake of the Sandy Hook incident, asked the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the National Research Council and other federal agencies to identify the most pressing problems in firearms violence. To the surprise of the authors and those who would no doubt have used the report to further restrict access to personal defense firearms, the study found that gun ownership actually saves lives and those who have a firearm at their disposal improve their chances of survival and reduce their chance of injury in the event they are confronted by a violent criminal: Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year The estimate of 3 million defensive uses per year is based on an extrapolation from a small number of responses taken from more than 19 national surveys. The former estimate of 108,000 is difficult to interpret because respondents were not asked specifically about defensive gun use. Full Study available at the National Academy of Sciences Via: Blacklisted News / Story Leak Consider that 3 million people use a gun to defend themselves from harm every year. This means that over 8,000 Americans every day act with potentially deadly force to prevent injury or death to themselves or a family member. In addition to overwhelming evidence that owning a gun reduces your chances of injury when attacked, regardless of whether you fire your gun or not, the new report proves that there has been a decades long obfuscation of national statistics that have been used to determine the importance of guns in self defense. Up until this study became available, anti-gun politicians often cited figures that indicated that just 108,000 people a year used guns in self defense. The new study suggests that those numbers were off by over 2500%. The new White House report coupled with evidence from Australia, Britain and Canadashows that reduction of personal gun ownership is a road to more violence, injury and death. The President commissioned this study in the hopes of finding a reason to take more guns from law abiding Americans. What it found, however, is that the answer to gun violence in America is arming more Americans.

1	Parenting magazine released its annual list of the best and worst places to raise a child this week, once again naming the Mariana Trenchan undersea chasm located 36,000 feet beneath the western Pacific Oceanas the least desirable location for rearing children. The periodicals staff reportedly selected amongst thousands of locations, weighing a diverse range of criteria such living costs, air quality, and local amenities, categories for which the pitch-black, silt-covered abyss unanimously received an F rating. In all categories, the Mariana Trench consistently got our lowest marks as a good place to start a family, the 14-page article read in part. The school system is nonexistent, the nearest playground is 300 nautical miles away, and at over 15,000 pounds per square inch, the hydrostatic pressure is enough to crush a child in less than a second. While the area does contain a low crime rate, that benefit is quickly negated by the Mariana Trenchs lack of a police department, not to mention fire, sanitation, highway, or public works departments, the article continued. The Mariana Trench, with zero acres of community parkland, a median household income of $000,000.00, and an unemployment rate of 100 percent, has held its spot as Parentings worst place to raise a child for seven consecutive years now, thanks largely to its un-family-friendly freezing temperatures and high concentration of exothermic bacteria. According to the magazine, competition for the worst spot in the rankings was particularly fierce this year, with the Mariana Trench competing with locations as far-ranging as Mt. Everest, an industrial slaughterhouse, an iceberg drifting in the Arctic, St. Louis, and the cone of Hawaiis Mauna Loa volcano. In composing our rankings, we found that, compared to somewhere like Sunnyvale, CAa town in which we would highly recommend parents raise their childrenthe Mariana Trench lacks many of the conveniences such as walking trails or shopping outlets that would be attractive to a family, the magazines editor, Samuel Norton, explained. While you could conceivably go hiking with your kids in the [crescent-shaped oceanic valley] Challenger Deep or sign them up for swim team, you would still have to somehow get over the perpetual darkness that constantly cloaks the trench in all directions. And if youre looking for a decent pediatrician, youre going to have your work cut out for you, Norton added. The magazines editors found that with no community centers, golf courses, neighborhood gardens, or social outlets of any sort to speak of, there was little if anything to distract a mother or father from the extremely stressful lifestyle that would be typical of raising a family 5,269 fathoms beneath the sea. Parenting also criticized the housing market in the Mariana Trench, emphasizing that the cost of building and maintaining a state-of-the-art titanium-reinforced bathysphere capable of withstanding the locations volcanic heat vents and constant earthquakes would be a minimum of roughly $20 millionan investment they said was far out of the range of most families. In terms of commuting options alone, the Mariana Trench would prove a real nightmare for any working parent, Norton remarked, going on to call the locations utter lack of public transportation simply unacceptable. I mean, to even reach the trench in the first place, you would need to acquire an extremely sophisticated diving bell, convince your family to stow themselves one or two at a time along with all of their possessions, and then plunge 6.85 miles down into a dark, undersea chasm devoid of any sense of community, or any warm-blooded life whatsoever. At that point, you have to ask yourself, Is this really whats best for my child? Norton added. Ultimately, the magazines staff urged parents to consider their family first when choosing whether or not to live in the Mariana Trench. The obstacles your child will face in their first years of school are already going to be enormous, Norton said. Having to contend with the challenge of having their head literally implode when exposed to their hometowns atmosphere can only make things worse.

1	A major contest between two high-quality teams in a major sport is scheduled to take place in the immediate future, multiple media sources reported earlier this week. 'No doubt about itthis is the biggest game since the championship, and it might be the biggest one we see until the playoffs,' a respected analyst for a major sports news organization said Monday, echoing the words of analysts at most major newspapers and magazines, sports television show hosts, and radio personalities. 'This will be one for the ages, one to watch, one to talk about at work the next day, a classic battle of high-flying talent versus hard-nosed grit. I can't even begin to guess at a score.' Although tickets have been sold out since they went on sale during the exhibition season, fans are divided on whether they are expecting an upset or a blowout. 
2	Hollywood Turns On Oprah After She Expresses Change Of Heart About Trump On Friday, celebrities turned their outrage on Oprah Winfreyfurious that she tweeted about the White House meeting between President-elect Donald Trump and President Barack Obama, claiming it gave her hope. I just saw President-elect Trump with President Obama in the White House, and it gave me hope, Winfrey told Entertainment Tonight in an interview. To hear President-elect Trump say that he had respect for President Obama, it felt that he had reached a moment where he was actually humbled by the experience. To hear President Obama say that he has renewed confidence in the peaceful transition, I think everybody can take a deep breath. On Thursday, she tweeted a screenshot of her television screen with the caption Everybody, take a deep breath! #HopeLives! Winfreys positive outlook was met with instant outrage from her fans and Hollywood counterparts, who expected her to be on their side. President-elect Trump has been the subject of violent protests since he was elected last Tuesday. What do you think? Are you tired of liberals attacking anyone willing to give Trump a chance? He will be a great leader for this country. Oprah Winfrey (@Oprah) November 10, 2016 
2	Sheriff Clark Takes An Epic Stand For Our Police: Obama Is A Liar Recently, Sheriff David Clarke made a controversial appearance on CNN with Don Lemon to discuss the recent shootings of officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. During the conversation, Lemon mentioned that President Obama has reportedly put out data claiming that police officers were more aggressive towards black males than white males. The president has been lying about it, Clarke commented. Clarke claims that he predicted the shooting of police officers in America a few years ago. Ive been watching this for two years. Ive predicted this, Clarke claimed. This anti-police rhetoric sweeping the country has turned out some hateful things inside of people that are now playing themselves out on the American police officer. Clarke also targeted the Black Lives Matter movement, stating that he doesnt believe their message has anything to do with peace and unity. Thats what they said to me, Lemon argued. Yeah I believe them. Are there protests over the deaths of the cops in Baton Rouge? Clarke questioned. Any riots or protests over the police officers in Dallas, Texas? My message has been clear from day one, two years ago, Clarke concluded. This anti-cop sentiment from this hateful ideology called Black Lives Matter has fueled this rage against the American police officer. Watch the full segment below and tell us what you think. Do you applaud Clarke for speaking his mind? 
3	The Mainstream Media has always been a Propaganda Tool of the EstablishmentSteven MacMillan The mainstream media has long been used as of tool of a dominant minority who use communication systems to influence and control the masses through techniques which are now perfected today. As George Orwell, the former BBC propagandist during the Second World War and author of the infamous 1984 stated: Propaganda has evolved over centuries to take the form of a more subtle and sophisticated art than in previous ages. In 1965, Konrad Kellen crystallised the nature of modern propaganda in the introduction to a book titled Propaganda: The Formation of Mens Attitudes by French sociologist and philosopher, Jacques Ellul: The media in America has become increasingly centralised in recent years, with 90% of the media in 2012 being controlled by just 6 corporations; News-Corp, Disney, Time Warner, Viacom, CBS and Comcast, compared to 50 companies in 1983. News-Corp and Time Warner are both affiliate corporate members at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) along with the news site Bloomberg. The British sister organisation of the CFR, the Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA), also has a concentration of media companies as part of the institute. The majority of the mainstream British press all publicly belong to the RIIA, including; ITN, the BBC, the Guardian, the Economist, the Daily Mail, the Telegraph, as well as Reuters and CBS News. Governments have used the mainstream media to control the perceptions of viewers through a technique the US military calls perception management. In 2008, The New York Times published an article titled Behind TV Analysts, Pentagons hidden hand. The article details a Pentagon operation which used a team of former military officers who were briefed by White House, State Department and Justice Department officials to appear as analysts on mainstream radio and TV, in an campaign to inculcate Pentagon talking points and memes in addition to engineering a positive flow of news concerning the US governments actions. The irony is striking considering the New York Times is by no means immune from this practice and has been accused by a former employee of being a propaganda megaphone for those who run the world, but the article still demonstrates the power of the state in influencing public discourse. The Pentagon operates as one arm of the US Ministry of Truth which manipulates and often coordinates mainstream news coverage of politically sensitive issues. Ellul quantifies how a modern state employs technicians of influence to conduct propaganda operations in order to utilise the mass media correctly: Jimmy Carters National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski is a major advisor to the ruling elite and an expert on the techniques which are used to control vast populations. A CFR member along with his daughter Mika Brzezinski who also hosts MSNBCs morning show Z. Brzezinski explains in his 1970 book Between Two Ages how the mass media can be used to court the masses: Brzezinski proceeds in Between Two Ages to discuss the possible emergence of a scientific elite ruling over a highly controlled society through the exploitation of the mass media and by using the latest modern techniques for influencing public behaviour: Sources: Jacques Ellul, Propaganda: The Formation of Mens Attitudes (Introduction by Konrad Kellen) (1965) Zbigniew Brzezinski, Between Two Ages: Americas Role in the Technetronic Era (1970) Additional Reading: Steven MacMillan is a Scottish researcher and writer who founded The Analyst Report, where this article first appeared. Propaganda is everywhere. Not long ago I saw a person I know, a newly qualified teacher, post on Facebook a rant about one of the British lefts current hate figures, Conservative Education Minister Michael Gove. 
2	List Of Celebrities Who Will Leave The Country If Donald Trump Is Elected Many Americans have started to debate what they will do in the off-chance that Hillary Clinton is elected president, and were faced once again with four years of what is sure to be corrupted, illogical leadership. Its hard to believe that some liberals believe that Hillary would be a better leader than the Republican candidates, but they do. And some are even threatening to leave the country if Donald Trump is elected. If the GOP frontrunner does win, here are some of the celebrities that have promised to leave the country: Rose ODonnell What do you think? Is this absolutely ridiculous? If these people were determined to leave the country under failing leadership, they should have left eight years ago. 
2	Donald Trump EXPOSES The Pope After Speech... Youll Love This [VIDEO] The liberal media has embraced Pope Francis with open arms during his visit to the United Statesprobably because everything he is saying mysteriously aligns with Obamas agenda. Presidential hopeful and legendary businessman Trump, however, is having none of it. I think his words are beautiful and I respect the Pope and I like the Pope very much, Trump claimed in an interview with CNN. I will say this: we have a country that is going through tremendous problems. We owe $19 trillion. So No. 1 we cant afford this process. Trump also addressed the Popes comments on climate change. He went on to insist that he is not a believer himself. Its called weather changes and you have storms and you have rain and you have beautiful days, he commented. What do you think? Do you support Trump? 
1	CINCINNATIOut-of-the-loop moron Karen Lenz stunned everyone within earshot Monday when she said Brittany Murphy was still dating Jeff Kwatinetz. 'Isn't Brittany Murphy that teen star who's engaged to that agent?' said Lenz, who has apparently been in a coma since May 2004, when Kwatinetz and Murphy split. Sources close to the dumbbell said she's so retarded, she wasn't even aware that Murphy attended a guest screening of the film Bad Education last month, escorted by an anonymous hunk of arm candy. 
3	Appeals court rules drivers can be detained indefinitely for paying tolls with large denomination billsMadison Ruppert, Contributor The ruling (PDF courtesy of The Newspaper) came down in the U.S. Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit, on September 19, 2012 in the case of Chandler v. FDOT (Florida Department of Transportation). The chandler family, consisting of Joel Deborah and Robert Chandler, filed the lawsuit last year in which they argue that they were effectively being held hostage by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the private contractor in charge of the states toll road, Faneuil, Inc. The FDOT policies at the time dictated that any driver who paid with a $50 bill, or, as The Newspaper reports, occasionally even $5 bills, was not to be given permission to proceed until the toll collector completed a s-called Bill Detection Report. These reports include data about the drivers vehicle and details obtained from their drivers license as well. Obviously these reports completely nullify the privacy protection offered by opting to pay with cash instead of installing a SunPass transponder on their vehicle which records their travels for later retrieval. Many of those who chose to pay cash did so to avoid the privacy implications of installing a SunPass transponder that recorded their driving habits, reports The Newspaper. It is hardly surprising to learn that these same drivers who opted to use cash for privacy reasons were unwilling to provide their personal information to the toll collector. The drivers were then essentially forced to give the toll collector their private information because the barrier in the toll booth would not be raised until the driver complied with the Bill Detection Report. The drivers would then be in quite a pickle since FDOT policy does not allow anyone to exit the vehicle. Similarly, backing up is illegal and usually a physical impossibility due to the presence of other vehicles. Thankfully, the FDOT reportedly dropped the Bill Detection Reports in 2010 but nothing is stopping them from reinstating it, especially after this supportive court decision. The Eleventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals three-judge panel determined that these clear detentions of motorists was not significant enough to be considered a constitutional violation, which is hardly surprising given that the U.S. Attorney General himself considers secret reviews of classified evidence due process. When the judicial systems top figures are this clearly warped and divorced from the reality of the impact of their unconstitutional decisions, I am in no way astounded to see lower courts acting in similarly insane ways. The fact that a person is not free to leave on his own terms at a given moment, however, does not, by itself, mean that the person has been seized within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment, wrote the court in their ruling. In Florida, a persons right and liberty to use a highway is not absolute; it may be regulated in the public interest through reasonable and reasonably executed regulations, they added. This ruling is much more insidious than it seems at first glance since the court is not only saying you have no absolute right to use what was once public property, but they are also saying that a private corporation can set regulations for the use of the road. The judges found it was reasonable for Faneuil to set regulations for use of the road including the types of acceptable payment, The Newspaper reported. The court ruled that drivers were beholden to the companys seemingly arbitrary regulations since they implicitly agreed to them when they chose to use the toll road in the first place. Florida seems to be on the forefront of toll road privatization with one completed, eleven underway and one underway which is shared with another state (according to a 2009 report). While some private toll roads are constructed as such, others are privatized through long-term highway lease agreements on existing highways, according to the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) Education Funds 2009 report linked above. This factor was completely ignored by the court which chose to focus on the Chandlers and their supposed culpability for using bills with large denominations. The Chandlers have not alleged that they were forced to pay their tolls with large-denomination bills, thereby subjecting themselves to whatever delay was caused by completion of the Bill Detection Report, the ruling stated. They chose to pay their toll with large-denomination bills. Nor have they alleged that they asked to withdraw the large report-triggering bill in favor of a smaller delay-free bill and were denied that opportunity. The court threw out the lawsuit entirely and in doing so established what, in my opinion, is a quite dangerous precedent.

3	Is Humanity Declaring Checkmate On The New World Order?Bernie Suarez As humanity exponentially wakes up to the plans of the global elite (those in power, the ruling class, the Illuminati or whatever you want to call them), when will it officially become common knowledge that, yes, we are in trouble as a species unless and until we put a working system in place that holds all politicians, government and private corporations accountable for their actions? This expected new level of accountability is the mass awakening and official paradigm shift we have all been waiting for and I suggest that we are mighty close to at this point in history. As the secluded and secretive government elite continue to struggle to push their global agenda only to run into increasing mass opposition, those at the very top of the control structure are no double worried that their time is up. They must know how humanity works as do we. Humanity generates thoughts which we share with each other. Governments are nothing more that organized thoughts and agreements among a set of people who also have logistical control and means to enforce their agreements (laws and statutes). Thankfully, grassroots movements, humanitarian efforts, and passionate displays of moral human consciousness also have a life of their own and ultimately have shown to have never-ending effects on humanity throughout history. With no clear justification for the atrocities that the U.S. Empire and the new world order has brought on the world, the global elite stand alone, hoping that humanity simply doesnt wake up politically to their agenda. We, the truth seekers of our time, are here to destroy that hope; the hope that the globalist had, that their Bilderberg meetings would remain secret. Yes that hope. The hope that the global elite had, to keep the masses believing their constant lies and their constant false flag operations in order to keep everyone in fear. That hope is now dwindling to nothing as humanity wakes up. The globalists were hoping the 9/11 truth movement was going to go away; instead it grew into aworldwide phenomenon with more and more people waking up to the easy (9/11 was an inside job proving) 9/11 science every day. Then there was the hope that the global elite had to keep the NSA spying a secret, and that hope was shattered by Edward Snowden as the world now is fully awakened to this evil agenda of spying, recording, and filing mass records into fusion center databases. We are all now well aware of the drone killing programs paid for and approved by the Obama administration; the power grab to suppress free-speech even at the Internet level; the push to take guns and gun rights away; the implementation of a global climate religion carbon tax and international environmental laws to subvert and trivialize individual, local, and national sovereignty; the militarization of police nationwide including in states and towns with little to no crime. We are now aware of how evil Obamacare is and how it will be used to force the globalist style control grid on all forms of human activity here in the United States. People everywhere are going into their own shock and awe seeing and understanding what Obamacare is really all about. selfnewss nationwide are working on solutions to these now very clear problems, solutions to disempower the federal government and return the power back to the people. America has experienced this before, we were all due for a tough challenge; we all knew from history that freedom is not free and that the only people in the world who deserve freedom are those willing to fight for it. I now hear the wake-up call nationwide. I see and hear the voices of freedom that make me feel like I should be doing more. More than ever before people are wondering what they can do to make a difference. This is a good sign for America and for our future. We may not see it yet, and the road ahead may still look dark. We all expect things to get worse before they get better. Deep down, however, many of us are now realizing this is the cycle we were waiting for. Things must get worse in order for more people to wake up. This is the reality we must all see before we truly realize we are all in control and where this is going. With that said, I believe humanity arguably may be declaring checkmate on the globalist elite. They are losing and we are winning the battle of information. We must prevail and we will prevail. We have the historic facts on our side and, more importantly, we have a source of human energy and a natural form of human conscious progression on our side that cannot be reversed. Viewed holistically, this battle between freedom and fascism, controlling governments versus the people, good versus evil, and love versus hate seems to be the story of our lives and perhaps the central purpose of our journey on earth. The ruling class uses slavery, labor, intimidation, fear, coercion, and forcefulness to convert the existence of other humans into wealth. The wealth is then used to maintain this control. The rest of humanity on the other hand just wants to be free from this control. When simplified to its most elementary form it is and will not be very difficult for most humans to see this rational and to recruit their cooperation in a plan that involves creating a solution for the human race. Who doesnt want this? Unfortunately for the global elite, they are the only ones in this planet who dont want this and because of this they will eventually stand alone in their quest for full control. A good chess player often knows several steps before the end of the game if he/she has the game clinched. In chess they call it checkmate. In this game of life we can call it anything we want. The most important thing is the concept which is now very clear to me. Looking back many years from now I believe many of us will be honored and thankful to have lived in times where we faced a historic and unprecedented real-time battle for freedom. This quest for freedom will be looked back upon as the driving force of our generation and to some like me, a candle of fire that lights our way. 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	Radical Muslim Group Threatens More Terror Attacks Unless These FOX News Anchors Fired It looks like Charlie Hebdo was just the start of demands for censorship when it comes to anyone who speaks negatively about Islam of the Prophet Muhammad. According to report reports, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has just demanded that Fox drop Islamophobes from their programming. Although the group seemed focused mainly on guests appearing on the show, they did not limit their focus to that group alone. Doing what leftist/Marxists/fascists do, they label anyone that is an opposition to them, wrote Pamela Geller, an author. If you dont believe that Islam is a religion of peace or you might speak against something relative to Islamic, like say, oh I dont know, terrorism or workplace beheadings, instantly you are labeled an Islamophobe. And CAIR wants you silenced, she concluded, remind readers that CAIR has been designated a terrorist organization. What do you think? Should guests and TV personalities be allowed to share their opinions with the public? 
3	Nearly 80-Year-Old Grandma With Cupcakes Brutalized by School CopAmanda Warren The damage she incurred on her frail, 5 foot, 110 pound body is repulsively unspeakable. The two pepper sprayings, throw down, and beating did more than just dislocate her shoulder and has cost her $180,000 in medical bills. No one in their right mind would expect the victim of a violent attack to pay for it in modern day America why in this case? Apparently, the newest trend in police state brutality involves school cops As always, there are programmed squabblers on social media offering justification for her just desserts saying that because of a court order, she gets a beating. Completely asinine response to dangerously asinine behavior. They have watched TV for so long that they dont remember the reality of issues being resolved without life-altering brutalization by Daddy Police State. She was brutally and unjustifiably attacked as the very first recourse this writer hopes she forwards every medical bill to the school and hiring department for the rest of her life. It is uncertain where the officer got the idea that there was a restraining order against Mary there wasnt, although the grandchildrens parents were in the middle of divorce proceedings. Regardless how could even a restraining order precipitate such brutalization against an unarmed, tiny old lady? Recently fromAmanda Warren:

3	How THEY Got ControlCatherine J. Frompovich The above paragraph, along with hundreds of similar philosophical ideas, comes from a document that had its conception after the end of World War II, and which was to become the playbook for what United States of America citizens apparently are experiencing today. This is what it was and is all about: In conclusion, the objective of economic research, as conducted by the magnates of capital (banking) and the industries of commodities (goods) and services, is the establishment of an economy which is totally predictable and manipulatable. [1] Energy Section [Emphasis added] The last word manipulatable apparently is referring to the economy being capable of being manipulated. If nothing more, that paragraph sets the guidelines for the economic downturn the USA has experienced and from which it seems not to be recovering, nor will it ever recover, if the controllers and other worthy few have their say and way. Now, doesnt it all make sense? Oh, how we have been played like a fiddle thats never had the tune up it so badly needs! The quality of education given to the lower class must be of the poorest sort, so that the meat of ignorance isolating the the [sic] inferior class from the superior class is and remains incomprehensible to the inferior class. With such an initial handicap, even bright lower class individuals have little if any hope of extricating themselves from their assigned lot in life. This form of slavery is essential to maintaining some measure of social order, peace, and tranquility for the ruling upper class. [Emphasis added] How many U.S. citizens realize that they have been programmed from pre-school or kindergarten to be living in slavery so that the ruling upper class can have some measure of social order, peace, and tranquility? Who ever heard of such elitist class action warfare? Maybe in Germany in the late 1930s. Under the subtitle of Descriptive Introduction of the Silent Weapon, we find how they planned to implement their Quiet War with this: It [the war] shoots situations, instead of bullets; propelled by data processing, instead of chemical reaction (explosion); originating from bits of data, instead of grains of gunpowder; from a computer, instead of a gun; operated by a computer programmer, instead of marksman; under the orders of a banking magnate, instead of a military general. Unabashedly, they acknowledge the game plan using data processing, the computer, and the banksters (banking magnate). So much for all the technology everyone bought into that has us so enthralled, we dont know which end is up, i.e., to answer a cell phone or voice mail; send a tweet or finger a text message using phonics instead of words. See how dumb weve become. In talking about all the technology, they say this about their silent, secret weapon(s): The public cannot comprehend this weapon, and therefore cannot believe that they are being attached [sic] and subdued by a weapon. [Emphasis added] That, dear readers, is the critical issue everyone must recognize, realize, understand, and decide how to react to, and what action you will take. If the above doesnt gore your bull, then this ought to smack your donkey: When a silent weapon is applied gradually to the public, the public adjusts/adapts to its presence and learns to tolerate its encroachment on their lives until the pressure (psychological via economic) becomes too great and they crack up. Silent weapon applied gradually learn to tolerate its encroachment pressure becomes too great they [we] crack up! Now, isnt that whats going on in virtually every segment of society in which we have been living for the last two to three decades, especially terroristic fears? Then we have the periodic traumatic events that galvanize us into an untenable state of fear so that we will gladly respond to what has been termed the Hegelian Dialectic problem-reaction-solution the very method the controllers have instituted to enforce the Quiet War and empower themselves to take away our human and civil rights. Consider the flack thats going on about the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights as outdated documents. How those very tenets of governance and jurisprudence that have guided the USA and its society since its inception have now been cast aside and even trampled upon by none other than those who should know better. Recall the events of 9-11, especially Building 7 self-imploding with no airplane hitting it. [2] Recall how Watertown, Massachusetts, was turned into a closed police state looking for a lone gunman. Wasnt that the perfect drill that may have been undertaken to comply with? The solution of todays problems requires an approach which is ruthlessly candid, with no agonizing over religious, moral, or cultural values. [1] Security Section How about the NSA surveillance tech and equipment attached to buildings, utility poles, or whatever in order to create a gulag [1a] of sorts in Seattle, Washington and Las Vegas, Nevada. Here is why you should care: What the controllers are counting on was the discovery by Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1743-1812) of the Rothschild banking family. What Mr. Rothschild had discovered was the basic principle of power, influence, and control over people as applied to economics. That principle is when you assume the appearance of power, people soon give it to you. [1] Mr. Rothschilds Energy Discovery Are U.S. citizens unwittingly guilty of acquiescing to the above Rothschild principle? When will we wake up and get out from under that spell of black magic? What Rothschilds real discovery was about was that he could induce people (inductance, with people corresponding to a magnetic field) into surrendering their real wealth in exchange for a promise of greater wealth (instead of real compensation). Rothschild, in essence, invented a philosophers stone [3] regarding monetary matters that banksters, money lenders, and Federal Banks use to create wealth and manipulate disparity for the rest of us. Mr. Rothschild had discovered that currency gave him the power to rearrange the economic structure to his own advantage,,[sic] to shift economic inductance to those economic positions which would encourage the greatest economic instability and oscillation. Readers, please read the above statement again. Thats whats been going on for longer than we have been led to believe, by banksters and, particularly, by the Federal Reserve Bank System,[4] Im inclined to think. As if thats not enough to get your juices running, under the Quiet War section termed The Economic Model, we find this confirmation: The Harvard Economic Research Project (1948-) was an extension of World War II Operations Research. Its purpose was to discover the science of controlling an economy; at first the American economy, and then the world economy. It was felt that with sufficient mathematical foundation and data, it would be nearly as easy to predict and control the trend of an economy as to predict and control the trajectory of a projectile. Such as [sic] proven to be the case. Moreover, the economy has been transformed into a guided missile on target. [Emphasis added] So, theres the apparent answer to whats going on with the U.S. economy, the European Union economic problems, and probably whats on the financial radar screen for Japan and China, two of the worlds most prolific economies. China is the worlds second largest economy after the USA. Japan is the third largest economy in the world. Fukushima just may ruin Japans economy if there are more radioactive problems that TEPCO cant deal with and the government of Japan has to step in and take over. Maybe thats why the Japanese government is letting TEPCO handle the cleanup? Now that weve learned that the economy is part of the silent weapon technology in the Quiet War, do you think there will ever be a peace armistice? With the real estate bubble burst in 2007-09 that helped lead to the never-ending recession; the stock market crash of 1929 and subsequent hits in 1987, 2000, and 2008; it would appear that we are due for another financial hit or projectile of some sort, if the Quiet War is to remain on target. Could the next silent weapon come from the insurance world, e.g., sticker shock that healthcare insurance consumers are experiencing? With five million healthcare insurance policy cancellations rendered and replacement policies that will cost anywhere from double to quadruple premiums, doesnt that sound like healthcare insurance is a targeted projectile in the Quiet War? What projectiles can we, the citizens, send back? Complaints, more and louder complaints to members of Congress, Letters to the Editors of newspapers and, of course, to the White House. Comments can be telephoned to the White House switchboard at 202-456-1111. As this writer sees it, voters have been asleep at their voting booth levers. We need to wake up and not be ingrained in party politics. We need to see the overall picture of whats going on rather than salute a partys candidate. They did that in Germany in the 1930s and look what that got them. We did that in 2008 and 2012 and look what its gotten us! We can no longer take the party line as truth. Look what the Democrats were able to pull off with regard to the Affordable Care Act. Its anything but affordable. Voters have to become educatedand real fastotherwise, the controllers will win the Quiet War. Human dignity and human compassion cannot allow that to happen in the USA, in the European Union, nor anywhere. What will you do?

2	BREAKING: Obama May Finally Being Going To Prison Judge Andrew Hanen has been battling President Barack Obama for months now after he issued his controversial executive amnesty order. Now, Hanen has issued an order of his own that will force top officials from the Department of Homeland Security to appear in Brownsville, Texas. The confrontation started when Hanen issued an injunction ordering the Obama administration to cease issuing work permits to illegal immigrants. The Obama administration blatantly ignored this issue. Each individual Defendant must attend and be prepared to show why he or she should not be held in contempt of Court, Hanen told reporters. In addition to the individual Defendants, the Government shall bring all relevant witnesses on this topic as the Court will not continue this matter to a later date. This means that Obama could be called in to testify in court first-hand. Meanwhile, his administration claims s that the violations were an accident. Still, Hanen has called the violations unacceptable and unprofessional. What do you think? Do you support Hanen holding the administration accountable? 
1	Pastor Bob Snowdon, of Holy Christ Almighty Lutheran Church in Nashua, is a man of deep religious and moral convictions. He derives great satisfaction from his various parish dutiesreciting the liturgy, giving holy communion, and performing the sacrament of baptism. But nothing delights him quite like his favorite activity of all: fucking Emily Snowdon, his holy-wedded wife of 19 years. Pastor Bob Snowdon. 'The Holy Bible sanctifies the bond between a man and a woman in matrimony as a sacred union,' Snowdon said. 'And there is nothing so smiled upon by our Lord than the love and caring that is shared when a man fucks his lawfully wedded bride. Just thinking about it makes me want to zip home for a few minutes and fuck Emily right now.' According to the 53-year-old 'Pastor Bob,' even though he typically fucks his wife twice each morning, he still very much looks forward to fucking her again when he gets home. 'After a long, hard day of worshiping in the house of our Lord, tending to the emotional needs of my parishioners, and visiting the sick and elderly so that they too might know in their hearts the light of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,' Snowdon said, 'there is nothing in this world I enjoy more than coming home and fucking the red out of my wife's hair. I love to give it to her any way she wants it, as hard as she can take it. My favorite is when she climbs on top and jerks her hips up and down on me as she fucks.' What's more, it seems that Emily enjoys the fucking almost as much as her husband. 'I've got to admit it,' she said, 'I love to get fucked.' Emily stressed, however, that the sort of wild fucking in which she and her husband regularly partake is only acceptable when performed within the confines of a church-sanctioned marriage. 'I am saddened, deeply saddened, when I hear of the young girls of today, engaging in sexual activities such as heavy petting or necking before they are wedlock-bound,' she said. 'It is so sad to see the beauty and purity of the act of fucking despoiled by this sort of premarital impropriety. If only these young girls would wait until they have taken the marriage vows and then, and only then, start fucking like there was no tomorrow.' According to Snowdon, some of his favorite places to fuck his wife include the pantry, shower, woodshed, basement laundry-room area, living-room sofa, and even, he added with a sly wink, the bedroom. 'All of our children are grown now and have families of their own, God bless them,' he said, 'so we can pretty much fuck anywhere we please in the whole darn house.' So enamored is he of his wife-fucking hobby, Snowdon said he would recommend fucking to just about anyone. 'So long as the fucking is done within the sacred bond of matrimony, I say, 'Fuck away.'' Snowdon said. 'But if you're not married, please, whatever you do, don't fuck anybody. An eternity of sin and punishment await those who fuck without church sanction.' Though fucking has been a lifelong interest for Snowdon, he stressed that he had faithfully abstained from sex and resisted the intense urge to fuck women until his bond with Emily was formally cemented with marital vows before the eyes of God 19 years ago. 'Naturally, before my marriage, I wanted to fuck other women: Sally Lindemier, my senior-year prom date; Susan Helgstrom, the receptionist at my parents' church; even Sheila Bernhauser, my old Bible-study teacher. I would have gladly fucked any one of those lovely, God-fearing women. Yet I knew that my fuck-urges were impure and sinful, and that it was my duty as a Christian to resist them until the day of my wedding to my beloved Emily.' 'But once I was married, my lust became sanctified in my heart and in the eyes of the Lord,' he said. 'And, from that day forth, I began fucking the holy heck out of my wife whenever and wherever I could, as often as possible. It is a practice I continue to this day.' 'Emily is a good, kind, Christian woman,' Snowdon added. 'But let there be no mistake: She is also one furious fuck-mama, as well.' Pastor Bob and his wife both stressed that, of course, abortion is a terrible sin, as is homosexuality, group sex, anal sex, oral sex, phone sex, pornography, and all forms of contraception. 
2	Youll Never Believe What Malia Obama Was Caught Doing At A Rave Well, it appears that rumors that Malia Obama is a wild child continue to spike. Recently, she was seen raging with her friends at Lollapalooza in Chicago. Given that she was constantly surrounded by Secret Service, the first daughter had trouble disappearing into the drunken crowd. She was followed around the festival by bulky men, who made it clear that they were guarding Obamas daughter. As many know, Lollapalooza is a music festival that is infamous for underage drinking and drug use. Last year alone, there were 10 felony drug arrests and as many as 250 ambulance runs for drug and alcohol related incidents. Sounds like a great place for a 16-year-old, doesnt it? What do you think? Is Obama as bad at parenting as he is at foreign policy? 
2	Liberals Are FURIOUS After Baltimore Sheriff Said THIS About The Riots As the riots continue in Baltimore, many leaders are coming forward with their varying and controversial opinions on the event. Now, Sheriff David A. Clarke has come forward with a theory that liberal policies have created a permanent underclass. Like Baltimore, like Ferguson, like New York and many other areas where failed liberal government policies have led to high unemployment, chronic poverty, failing schools, Clarke told reporters. This is what besets the Baltimore area. Ninety percent of the homicide victims in the Baltimore area are black as are ninety percent of the suspects. Thats a bigger problem than Freddie Gray. 
3	Protests Across America: Will Obama Step Down?Brandon Turbeville In short, anger, protests, riots and other forms of violence have engulfed cities all across the United States. Years of authoritarianism, a stagnant economy, and police brutality among many other issues are coming to a head, regardless of what one thinks about the methods or even the merits of some of the protesters/rioters. Flashback to 2011, shortly after death squad operations funded by NATO, the GCC and Israel began in earnest inside Syria. According to Western media, these operatives who were killing Syrians indiscriminately in the streets, implementing Sharia law, and beheading civilians were peaceful protesters. Such widespread chaos in the streets of Syrian cities was used as a justification by Western leaders such as Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and British Prime Minister David Cameron to call for Assad to step down. According to these leaders, peaceful protests across Syria were enough to warrant calls for Assad to step down as President of the country. Such civil unrest was reason enough to demand that Assad face the reality of the complete rejection of his regime by the Syrian people. So with the massive civil unrest taking place all across the United States in 2014, one must ask the question, is the logical response to demand that U.S. President Barack Obama step down? If mass protests in Syria are enough to demand that Assad has lost his legitimacy, then why are mass protests across the United States not enough to demand that Obama has lost his own legitimacy? Indeed, while Assad was facing down terrorists funded by foreign powers for the purposes of destroying his country (slower and more tepid than many Syrians would have preferred), headlines accusing him of brutality, oppression, killing his own people, and crimes against humanity, abounded in the Western press. Considering the history of police brutality in the United States, particularly the skyrocketing increase in police aggression and murder of American citizens, as well as the response to the subsequent protests, one can only imagine the headlines if the shoe was on the other foot. While mainstream outlets in the United States were quick to call for Assad to step down, where are the headlines reading Years of Human Rights Violations Reach Tipping Point In U.S., International Community: Obama Has Lost Legitimacy, Obama Kills His Own, Authoritarian U.S. Regime Faces American Spring? With the response of militarized police forces to the riots and even the legitimately peaceful demonstrations using non-lethal weapons, rubber bullets, and tear gas, one wonders where the mainstream press headlines of U.S. Cracks Down On Peaceful Protesters, Military Cracks Down On Civilians, and Obama Uses Chemical Weapons on Civilians, might be. In addition, such wide-scale protests come right as the U.S. Senates torture report is released, a report that admits that not only was the CIA torturing on a massive scale but that it did so with the complicity and direction of the White House. Although the focus of the blame is placed on the shoulders of George Bush and Dick Cheney, only a fool would believe that the United States has not continued its practice of systematic torture under the Obama administration. In fact, while kept much more quiet in the mainstream news, Obamas administration has been implicated in the continuation of torture techniques on a number of occasions. Needless to say, we will not hold our breath for such headlines as those mentioned above to appear in the mainstream press. At least not in terms of the police brutality epidemic in the United States and the legitimacy of an American president. Such statements are only reserved for the targets of American imperialism.

1	Though the stock market remains shaky and consumer spending has reached a standstill, the U.S. economy is apparently still robust enough to produce nearly half a dozen television shows about cake. 'This flies in the face of basic economic theory,' University of Chicago economist John Holloway said Friday, referring to such programs as Ace Of Cakes, Cake Boss, and Last Cake Standing. 'Despite the worst recession in a generation, these shows somehow make enough money to pay for sets, celebrity hosts, producers, camera crewsnot to mention the cakes themselvesall so people can see a dessert that looks like a Dr. Seuss character.' Holloway made it clear, however, that no known mathematical model has yet been able to explain why in the hell anyone would watch those Real Housewives Of Whatever shows. 
3	Secret Homeland Report Warns Solar Storm Could Leave 100 Million Without PowerMac Slavo Homeland Security conducted a study assessing the risks with these extreme solar events (as well as manmade EMPs). Via Free Beacon DHS Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) stated in an internal 2012 fact sheet outlining its response plan for severe space weather that the actual impact and damage from a future solar storm is not known. [] The report outlines the scenario for a major coronal mass ejection from the Sun that will first be detected by U.S. satellites. The magnetic band reaches the earth within 24 to 72 hours, affecting up to 100 million people. The largest such storms, called G-5s, would cause transformers and transmission lines to be severely damaged. The storms last from hours to a day but can disrupt electric power grid operations, GPS satellites, aircraft operations, manned space flight, satellite operations, natural gas distribution pipelines, and undersea communications cables. Though acknowledging they lack sufficient information about what exactly might happen, it is clear enough what kind of damage and disruption of service it might pose for the infrastructure that everyone depends upon. Major solar events happened in 1859 with the Carrington Event and in 1921 with huge magnetic storm. The federal government and the utility companies both admit that another event of this magnitude would take down the existing power grid and could affect some 100 million people, likely damaging many other services as well. Former CIA official Peter Pry warned that a large solar flare could have catastrophic consequences for civilization. We are running out of time to prepare, Pry said, noting that NASA reported in July that Earth narrowly missed a second Carrington Event. While the grid might be repaired within in hours and days for most, as many as 10 million could face prolonged life without electricity. It could be literally months and possibly even years before the power is restored. Are you even remotely prepared for that kind of event? The government is admittedly NOT prepared and has no way to feasibly take care of that many people during a mass disruption event: How would the government deal with 10 million, or many more, Americans without power for two months, or even longer? [] An analysis of the space weather impacts indicates that the greatest challenge will be to provide life-saving and life-sustaining resources for large numbers of people that experience long-term power outage from damage to the U.S. electrical grid, the FEMA document, dated March 1, 2012, states. The FEMA fact sheet noted the findings of a 2010 study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the agency that monitors sun storms, warning that an extreme solar storm could leave 130 million people without power for years, and destroy or damage more than 300 hard-to-replace electrical grid transformers. Even more worryingly is the government secrecy and failure to adequately prepare the public for an event that could happen at any time, and is considered overdue. The report was released only after Mark Sauter, a security adviser and published author on Homeland Security, filed a FOIA request: Sauter said FEMAs more-than-200-page response plan for dealing with a solar storm was blacked out from the released documents. This makes one wonder why FEMA is refusing to release the governments space weather response plan, he said. Sauter questioned whether the government is taking the threat of a major solar storm seriously, or is just going through an obligatory bureaucratic exercise that in reality reflects DHS/FEMA crossing its fingers and hoping that such a plan will never need to be used. Though it should be strongly noted, it should come as no surprise that the federal government cannot and will not be able to take care of everyone during a massive power outage, and especially not during an extended breakdown of society, services and infrastructure. Many preppers have been hedging for this cataclysm for some time, and have known that extreme solar events pose a significant threat that, again, may prove to be a question of when not if. Daisy Luther outlines several important areas to consider when preparing to survive potentially prolonged power outages and disruptions to services. Going off-grid requires significant planning, investment and a reorientation of mindset but it can be done. Have you planned for: Off-grid Water If you havent located water sources near your home, its time to break out the topographical maps of your area and find them! A low-tech water plan might include some or all of the following: Off-grid Shelter and Warmth Homes these days arent built to function without a connection to the power grid. If you arent fortunate enough to live in an older home that was designed for off-grid living, look at some ways to take your home back a century or so. A secondary heating system is vital in most climates. Off-grid Food Not only do you need access to food, but you also need a way to cook it and a way to keep your refrigerated and frozen items from spoiling. Off-grid Sanitation and Hygiene How will you keep clean and deal with human waste in the event of a long-term emergency? Off-grid Lighting The world is a scary place when its dark, and most of us have forgotten how dark TRUE dark really is, due to light pollution and the proximity of neighbors. Here are some lighting solutions for an off grid world: Renewable power is practical power. One exception to my no-generators rule is renewable power. If you can afford a solar set up for your home, then very little would change about your day-to-day life, aside from you being one of the few people with power. You dont have to go totally solar to have power for a few important items. Assuming you have electronics in working order, they can be powered with solar, wind, or water. Most of us cant afford an entire set up but these are some options to consider: Recommended Resources: You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com, where this first appeared. 
2	Welfare Couple Caught... Stole 23 Million In Massive Food Stamp Scam According to recent reports, a married couple in Arizona were just sentenced for a $2.3 million food stamp scam. Bernard (44) and Monica (33) Lee-Uh were the co-owners of Nicben African Caribbean Market in Glendale, AZ. The pair were accused of fraudulently charging the Supplement Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) for cash. After doing so, they would split the money with the food stamp recipient. The couple managed to rack up an astounding $2.3 million in charges between November 2010 and March 2014. Food stamp sales at the market totaled $75,000 in June of 2010, while surrounding stores remained steady at around $3,000 to $5,000. Finally, the scam was revealed by a witness who made undercover purchases at the store. Bernard Lee-Uh was sentence to four years in prison for his crimes, while his wife Monica must serve two years probation. What do you think of the charges? Is the couple being let off too easy? 
2	England Carries Out First Christian Patrol In Islamic Hotspot [VIDEO] President Obama has done everything he can to persuade the American public that Muslims are the victims in this country. So footage like this cant make him too happy. For some time, Soeren Kern, a writer for the Gatestone Institute, has been documenting the rise of no-go zones for non-Muslims in both France and the UK. The problem of no-go zones is well documented, but multiculturalists and their politically correct supporters vehemently deny that they exist, Kern wrote in a recent report. Some are now engaged in a concerted campaign to discredit and even silence those who draw attention to the issuesoften by deliberately mischaracterizing the term no-go zone. It should be noted that Obama is among those who deny the existence of these areas. Extremist Muslim preacherssometimes referred to as the Tower Hamlets Talibanhave issued death threats t women who refuse to wear Islamic veils, Kern continued. Neighborhood streets have been plastered with posters declaring, You are entering a Sharia controlled zone. Islamic rules enforced. And street advertising deemed offensive to Muslims has been vandalized or blacked out with spray paint. To support his argument, Kern pointed to video evidence of groups of angry Muslims taking to the streets of London to harass citizens who do not pray to Allah. Now, Kerns movement has caught fire, and a group of British patriots have decided to take a stand against the attack on traditional Western values and culture. In a video released by Britain First, the groups leader and 25 other members of the group carried white crosses and attempted to pass out newspapers in Bury Park on the streets of Luton. This is a British town and were proud to be British, Fransen commented. Moments later, a group of Muslim men begin to verbally assault the group. Watch the footage below and tell us what you think. How can Obama deny this? 
3	Increasing Your Odds of SurvivalDave Hodges Only a small percentage of the people are prepared for what is about to happen. Just what does it take to be prepared? How much of this and how much of that are questions that many preppers ask. Unfortunately, most Americans are not asking any questions at all. Most of these ignorant people will be among the first to die. There are two major types of crises which could come to our country. We could get lucky and have a soft landing, which will be catastrophic, but survivable. The other possibility is that we will be looking at a complete collapse of everything and this country could become a very dangerous place in which to live. This article examines strategies for dealing with a complete breakdown of our society. Economic Collapse With $200 trillion dollars of unfunded liabilities and corresponding amount in personal debt, it is not a matter of if, but when the economic collapse is coming. Are you prepared for what could be visited upon you and your family at a moments notice, or do you still trust Big Brother to meet your needs? Here are some things that you and your family might consider stocking up on in order to survive. Most people can survive for a number of weeks without food, but without water you will die in just a few days. Subsequently, where would you procure water if your taps run dry? If you do not have a plan, this would most likely be the cause of death. Do you have an abundant supply of clean water near your home? Do you have the ability to boil water if you needed to purify it? Gathering water is your number one concern. Do you have a swimming pool? If you are one of the few that has a swimming pool, you need to be able to defend the water because your house will be a target. Water purification tablets are critical because the water you have access to in a crisis, may not be suitable for drinking. So you may find that water purification tablets and a water filter will prove immeasurably important. Food Most families could not last longer than a month on what they have in their house right now. When the economic collapse comes, how long could you survive on what you have? You need to start growing food right now. Having your own garden, both in and out of your house is critically important, for if you dont, when your family runs out of food, you will suddenly find yourselves competing with the desperate mobs of hungry people who are looting the stores and roaming the streets looking for victims in order to steal their food. Begin to store food, now! Store seeds and plants now. Seeds will be the first item to disappear. So, begin to gather them now. Of course, if you are hungry, the government would be happy to take you to a safe refuge, a FEMA Camp. The question is, will you come out alive? Avoid Roads Like the Plague Highways will become death traps as they will be targeted by bad guys, many of who will don military and police uniforms in order lure in unsuspecting people. To a starving and thirsty gang, there is not a better target than a passenger vehicle, a truck or, better yet, an RV loaded down with stored food and ammunition. If you have a bug out location, plan to leave the very moment that the event happens and get to where you want to be within 72 hours. Once the trouble starts, do not attempt to travel. The government, and the gangsters are equally dangerous during this time. Military strategy documents all advise that when governments fail, roads are to be avoided at all costs. Should You Expatriate? This is a very controversial question. The world, not just the United States will experience systemic failure. However, America carries a special bulls-eye on its collective back. Why? Well, when President George W. Bush said that they hate us for our freedoms, he was half right. The NWO which is using the government to strip America of its civil liberties in the name of fighting terrorists funded by the CIA, do indeed hate us for our freedoms. Therefore, I expect the accompanying political crackdown to be much more severe in America than anywhere else. If expatriation is an option, you better be where you need to be within that 72-hour window, or you are not getting there. My favorite countries that I have considered expatriation to are Norway and Costa Rica. However, you would be far better off owning a cabin in a remote area, stocked with hidden food, water, guns and lots of ammunition, than attempting to get to a foreign land. If you come up short on these options, hunker down in your neighborhood. However, you better have a network of like-minded people for community defense against the marauding hordes that will be roaming the streets looking for food and water. And just dont own a gun, learn how to use it and maintain it. Prepare Three Day Bug Out Bags It is possible that you may have to flee your home in order to stay alive. Surviving the first three days in these cases is the first critical challenge. Prepare a bug out bag for each family member and store it in an accessible place. Some of the items a bug out bag should contain are sleeping bags, flashlights with extra batteries, guns and ammo, knives, forks, spoons, weather-appropriate clothing, toiletries, change of underwear and other clothes, bottled water, snacks, water purification device and tablets, small pot for boiling water, backpacker mini-cook stove with fuel, towel, ability to make fire, flashlight with extra batteries, a first aid kit and medication, fishing line, small fishing hooks, a compass, and your critical papers (ID, birth certificates and bank account books and bank statements. Prearranged Meeting Place If you are in your normal 8-5 routine, have a preset place to meet your family. Make sure you coach your children that under no circumstances are they get on a school bus that will take them to safety. Schools across America annually practice bus evacuation drills. The problem that I have with these drills is that they never tell the public, or even school authorities what kind of places they will take your children. In a major Denver disaster drill, a couple of years ago, they took busloads of children to Invesco field where the Denver Broncos play football. Does anyone remember the Louisiana Superdome after Hurricane Katrina? And of course, the bus could always head to a FEMA Camp as well. I have coached my son on how to drop out of line to the bus and where to hide until I come and get him. You should practice reuniting both in a vehicle and on foot. I keep a bug out survival bag in my car. Paranoid? Look at the economic numbers that I listed at the top of this article and ask yourself: paranoid, or prepared? Leave the City If you are convinced as I am that the collapse is on the near horizon, you should have a bug out location outside of a major metropolitan area and once you see the signs, dont wait to act, go right away. If you cannot get out of the city, you need to give your home a ransacked look and feel. Throw old clothes and wrappers along with dresser drawers out on the front lawn. Barricade your doors. If you can afford it, by special awnings, now, to go over your windows to prevent easy access. Again, if you are departing the city, stay off of the main roads as much as possible. Network and travel in a caravan if possible. Sanitation In the third world, the leading cause of death is typically dysentery as water mixes with sewage. In cities, sewers and subsequently toilets will be backing up. If one does not bury excrement properly this too can lead to serious diseases. You will need portable toilets, lots of toilet paper, and bleach to scrub clean the messes. In major cities, trash disposal will become a major problem as well. It will attract dangerous animals. The disease component will expand exponentially after a week. In these cases, trash should be burned. Store Medicines This may be the most difficult aspect of preparation because a lot of life-saving medication (e.g. diabetes, heart pills, asthma inhalers, etc.) are controlled by prescription. First, one should immediately learn about natural remedies and stock up on these products. Secondly, if you can take a tiny bit less of your meds today, without endangering yourself, begin doing so. Ignore the expiration on your medication labels. Medications far outlast the posted dates as Big Pharma wants you to keep coming back. Finally, consider a series of smuggling shopping sprees to Mexico or to Canada. Empty out old pill bottles and fill them with over-the-counter medications that you can purchase with medication that matches the labels on the pill boxes. Most immigration officials are not going to challenge something so trivial that appears to be legitimate. Of course, you will have to be judicious in the amount you smuggle back. Keep in mind it is a crime to bring back foreign medication to our country. Oh, I forgot to mention that America is the only country in the world which does not allow its citizens to purchase foreign drugs. Isnt it nice that your government does such a good job of protecting Big Pharmas monopoly? Conclusion If society experiences a meltdown, the odds for survival are not good. For example, Congressman Trent Franks (AZ) produced a video which showed that in the event of an EMP attack, 90% of the people would be dead within two years. Estimates call for a 50% mortality rate in the event of a total economic breakdown. If civil war accompanies a breakdown, the casualty estimates would be impossible to gauge. Either way, the odds are stacked against survival. Preparation does not guarantee survival, but if one does not prepare, they are sealing their own fate.

1	Noted author, social critic, and political gadfly Christopher Hitchens was once again the focus of controversy Monday, when he was forcibly removed from Happy Trails trailer park following a drunken confrontation with Noreen Bodell, 39, his common-law wife of 14 years. Responding to a domestic-disturbance call, police arrived at the couple's double-wide trailer at approximately 2:15 p.m. to find Hitchens and Bodell throwing dishes at each other. When the officers attempted to remove Hitchens from the premises, the leftist intellectual became physically and verbally abusive toward the officers, calling them 'shitkickers,' 'bitches,' and 'effete liberal apologists for the atrocities of late-stage capitalism.' An inebriated Hitchens is forcibly removed from the Happy Trails trailer park. Having consumed what sources described as 'a substantial amount of single-malt scotch,' Hitchens then burst into tears, yelling, 'That woman never understood me for who I am. I want to talk to [Harper's editor Lewis] Lapham. Lapham's the only one who understands me.' Charged with disturbing the peace, Hitchens was taken to the Sparta police station at 3 p.m. and released four hours later. Little is known about Bodell, a heavy-set blonde who has been known to use several different surnames. According to sources familiar with the couple, the incident marks the third time in as many weeks that police have been forced to intervene in their volatile relationship. 'We're down at the old Hitchens place probably twice a month at least,' said Sgt. Wilson Vernon, the first of three officers to arrive at the scene. 'Once his blood's up, old Hitch can get meaner than a three-legged coon hound. From what the neighbors told us about this latest incident, Noreen was all worked up, accusing him of drinking and womanizing. He was angry with her refusal to acknowledge that there is ample evidence to make a case for prosecuting Henry Kissinger as a war criminal. She just kept shouting, 'No, there ain't!'' Police were initially summoned when neighbors reported hearing shouting and a loud crash, followed by a rambling polemic on Kissinger's alleged covert approval of Indonesia's illegal invasion of East Timor in 1975. Though the belligerent Hitchens required three officers to subdue him, police do not consider the incident serious, calling it 'business as usual' and describing Hitchens as a 'hot-tempered but essentially harmless provocateur for the Far Left.' 'Hitch is an all-right guy once he sobers up,' Vernon said. 'He just gets a little wound-up sometimes, like when his woman stays out all night down at Smokey Joe's Tavern, or he has a deadline looming for his Vanity Fair column.' Hitchens' run-ins with the law have not been restricted to Sparta city limits. In May 2002, he was arrested for drunkenly singing 1930s union songs while driving a stolen riding lawnmower through the streets of Boston, where he was attending an international women's-rights conference. Hitchens accused police of 'atavistic, morally reprehensible Stalinist scare tactics' before being bailed out by conference organizers the following morning. Sgt. Ed Poole of Boston's 11th Precinct said there was no love lost between Hitchens and his arresting officers. 'Word got around the station that this guy wrote a whole book claiming that Mother Teresa was a stooge of right-wing dictators,' Poole recalled. 'Supposedly, he said her hypocritical approach to charity for the poor of Calcutta, as well as her steadfast advocacy of the Catholic Church's doctrine prohibiting birth control, made her an essentially immoral individual undeserving of the mantle of sainthood. Well, a lot of the boys here are Irish-Catholic born and raised, and they don't take too kindly to people speaking ill of nuns.' Town officials in Sparta, where Hitchens has maintained an on-again, off-again residence for two decades, admit that he may be 'a handful' at times, but they insist he is not a danger to himself or others. 'If I know Hitch, by the end of the week, he and Noreen'll be back together, cuddlin' and kissin', just as happy as two crawdads in a pond,' Sparta Police Chief Buck Perkins said. 'We don't get a lot of ultra-progressive agitators 'round these parts, but Hitch is okay. Plus, he earned a lot of points with the townsfolk for his vocal criticism of the anti-war movement. Even though he was attacking the war opponents from the left, folks around here don't necessarily understand the implications of that, so he's an all-right Joe in their book.' Added Perkins: 'So long as Hitch can learn to keep his mouth shut about Christianity being symptomatic of the 'savage and ignorant prehistory of our species' and whatnot, I'm sure he'll cause no trouble that a few cups of black coffee and a night in the drunk tank can't solve.'

2	BREAKING: Tom Selleck Hit With Devastating News... He Needs Your Support Over the past few years, actor Tom Selleck has become an outspoken conservative. Of course, the liberal media is now out to get him, reporting that he is facing accusations of hydrant water on his 60-acre ranch in California. The accusations are serious, as they come in the middle of the California drought. Selleck and his wife Jillie Mack are being accused of dispatching a truck to a nearby valley to retrieve gallons of water on more than a dozen occasions. The Calleguas Municipal Water District has invested $25,000 on a private investigator to get some answers. Now, they have filed a lawsuit against Selleck that claims that the Sellecks continued to retrieve water even after being served with a cease and desist. It also alleges that Selleck hired a commercial water truck to make seven trips to a hydrant near a construction site. The Water District is now asking for $21,685.55 for the PI they hired, as well as legal fee and an injunction. What do you think? Is the liberal media clearly out to paint Selleck as a villain? 
2	Obama Caught Red Handed In MASSIVE Lie About His Past The American public was less than shocked when we found out that President Barack Obamas illegal uncle Omar was granted amnesty by a judge working for Eric Holder. A few years ago, Omar, a 21-year fugitive from a Federal deportation order, was arrested for a DUI in Boston. The Obama administration was quick to claim that the president had never met his family member, and was unaware that he was living in the country illegally. That story was ripped to shreds when Omar testified under oath that he had met his nephew. In fact, he claims that Obama stayed with him for almost a month in the 1980s, and would frequently visit him while he was in law school. Now, it appears that Obama is finally coming clean about the incident (after Omars landlord supported the testimony, of course). The president did stay with him for a brief period of time until his apartment was ready, White House spokesman Eric Schultz told reporters. After that, they saw each other once every few months, but after law school they fell out of touch. What do you think? Is the entire Obama family made up of liars? 
3	Is Democracy Americas Deadliest Export?Gary Corseri If I were president, I could stop terrorist attacks [on us] in a few days. Permanently. I would first apologize to all the widows and the orphans, the impoverished and the tortured, and all the many millions of other victims of American imperialism. I would then announce that Americas global interventions have come to an end. And I would inform Israel that it is no longer the 51st state of the union but a foreign country. I would then reduce the military budget by at least 90% and use the savings to pay reparations to the victims. Thats what Id do on my first three days in the White House. On the fourth day, Id be assassinated. Unfortunately, Blum never made it to the White House! But, fortunately, for those who have read his books or follow his Anti-Empire Reports on the Web, he was not assassinated! And now he has collected his reports and essays of the last dozen years or so into a 352-page volume that will not only stand the test of time, but will help to define this disillusioned, morose, violent and unraveling Age. Americas Deadliest is divided into 21 chapters and an introductionand theres something to underline or memorize on every page! Sometimes its just one of Blums irrepressible quips, and sometimes its a matter of searing American foreign or domestic policy that clarifies that Bushwhackian question of yore: Why do they hate us? Blums style is common sense raised to its highest level. The wonder of Americas Deadliest is that it covers so much of the sodden, bloody ground of Americas march across our post-Second-World-War world, yet tells the story with such deftness and grace-under-fire that the reader is enticednot moralized, not unquestioningly badgered, but enticed to consider our globe from a promontory of higher understanding. Some of the themes Blum covers (and often eviscerates) include: 1) Why they hate us; 2) America means well; 3) We cannot permit a successful alternative to the capitalist model to develop anywhere in the world; 4) We will use whatever means necessaryincluding, lies, deception, sabotage, bribery, torture and warto achieve the above idea. Along the way, we get glimpses of Blums experientially rich life. A note About the Author tells us that, He left the State Department in 1967, abandoning his aspiration of becoming a Foreign Service Officer because of his opposition to what the US was doing in Vietnam. He then became a founder and editor of the Washington Free Press, the first alternative newspaper in the capital. In his chapter on Patriotism, Blum relates how, after a talk, he was asked: Do you love America? He responded with what we may take for his credo: I dont love any country. Im a citizen of the world. I love certain principles, like human rights, civil liberties, meaningful democracy, an economy which puts people before profits. Americas Deadliest is a book of wisdom and wit that ponders how this world became so unbearably cruel, corrupt, unjust, and stupid? In a pointillistic approach, sowing aphoristic seeds for thought, Blum enumerates instances of that cruelty, often with wry, pained commentary. War can be seen as Americas religion, he tells us. Reflecting on Obamas octupling Bushs number of drones used to assassinate, collaterally kill and terrorize, he affirms: Obama is one of the worst things that has ever happened to the American left. And, he avers, Capitalism is the theory that the worst people, acting from their worst motives, will somehow produce the most good. And then turns around and reminds uslest we forgethow the mass media have invaded our lives, with memes about patriotism, democracy, God, the good life: Can it be imagined that an American president would openly implore Americas young people to fight a foreign war to defend capitalism? he wonders. The word itself has largely gone out of fashion. The approved references now are to the market economy, free market, free enterprise, or private enterprise. Cynthia McKinney writes that the book is coruscating, eye-opening, and essential. Oliver Stone calls it a fireball of terse information. Like Howard Zinn, Ralph Nader, Paul Craig Roberts, Cindy Sheehan and Bradley Manning, Blum is committed to setting the historical record straight. His book is dangerous. Steadfast, immutable truths one has taken for grantedoften since childhoodare exposed as hollow baubles to entertain the un/mis/and dis-informed. One such Blumism recollects Lt. General Ricardo Sanchezs account of a videotape with a very undiplomatic Secretary of State, Colin Powell, and cowboy George Bush: `Weve got to smash somebodys ass quickly, Powell said. `We must have a brute demonstration of power. Then Bush spoke: `Kick ass! If somebody tries to stop the march to democracy, we will seek them out and kill them! Stay strong! Kill them! We are going to wipe them out! Blums intellectual resources are as keen as anyones writing today. He also adds an ample measure of humanity to his trenchant critiques. He juxtaposes the noble rhetoric of our professed values with the mordant facts of our deeds. The cognitive dissonance makes for a memorable, very unpretty picture of how an immensely privileged people lost themselves, while gorging on junk food, junk politics, junk economics, junk education, junk media. Like an Isaiah, a Jeremiah, he lambastes his ownus!flaying layers of hypocrisy and betrayals while seeking to reveal the core values of human dignity, empathy and moral rectitude.

2	U.S. State Passes Law Forcing Welfare Recipients To Do THIS Before They Can Receive Food Stamps According to recent reports, Wisconsin is gearing up to pass a law that will require welfare recipients to pass drug tests before obtaining benefits. Our 2015-17 Budget puts in place drug screening, testing and treatment mechanisms to strengthen Wisconsins workforce, Governor Scott Walker claimed, endorsing the plan in the beginning of September. Individuals seeking public assistance benefits in work-based programs are better prepared and qualified to work. Not surprisingly, liberals are already pushing back on the plan. Democratic Rep. Gwen Moore told the press that the law is tightening the noose, literally, around African-Americans. And they call conservatives racist! Of course, Moores comments didnt go over well either. I dont see any reason to apologize, Moore responded. If anything, [Walker] should apologize for his deliberate efforts during his tenure as governor to increase the misery index among African-Americans. What do you think? Do you support the law passing? 
2	Muslims Are Furious After These Two States Team Up To Take THIS Epic Stand Against Shariah Law According to recent reports, Georgia and South Carolina are the most recent states to initiate protections that would prevent Islamic law from having an influence in American courtrooms. While it is unclear whether Shariah law has ever affected any cases in the past, bills are moving through legislatures and are seen as a preventive measure. The bills do not specifically target Shariah law, but rather aims to stop foreign law from affecting the justice system in the U.S. The bill (H. 3521) was introduced in Charleston by Representative Chip Limehouse, who claims that foreign law should never violate someones constitutional rights. Limehouse cited claims from the Center for Security Policy that 146 cases in 32 states had Shariah law brought up in proceedings. In Georgia, HB 171 was introduced, making it just one of several dozen states to introduce similar bills to their justice systems. Critics of the bills argue that they fight a non-existent problem, and are discriminatory against Muslim culture. Supporters claim that this bills is intended only to solidify the American justice system. What do you think? Do you support South Carolina and Georgia taking action now before this becomes a major problem?

This Could Be A Threat To National Security According to recent reports, Michelle Obama is anxious to file for divorce against President Obama, who could be unfaithful. If she does move forward with legal proceedings, our President could be facing a $100 million case. Michelles reached the point where she doesnt care much about keeping up appearances, a source close to the First Lady told reporters. Michelles been pushed to her wits endand shes been in secret talks with her divorce lawyer! According to the same source, Michelle had initially agreed to stall the proceedings until January 2017. She reportedly changed her mind after the family vacation in 2015 took a turn for the worse. Shes sick of him drooling over beautiful women, and she cant take any more rumors about him cheating, the source concluded. What do you think? Is Obama setting a terrible example for American families? 
2	State Approves Resolution That Requires Residents To Compensate Blacks For Slavery According to recent reports, a group of commissioners from Dallas just passed a Juneteenth resolution that commemorated the day slaves in Texas earned their freedom. The resolution reportedly also claims that black people should be receiving reparations for slavery. Breitbart recently reported that Commissioner John Wiley Price authored the resolution. It included a long list of injustices endured by blacks, from slavery to Jim Crow to predatory lending practices. Then, in its final paragraph, it declared that the suffering of African-Americans should be satisfied with monetary and substantial reparations. Reports indicate that Price wrote the resolution after he read an article outlining why American should pay reparations to black people. The resolution passed. An hour later, the commissioners complained that they had not seen the language in the bill. What do you think? Are black Americans owed reparations for events that occurred more than a century ago?

1	For the fifth straight year, Jordan McCabe will return home for the holidays and spend the night before Thanksgiving running into every smug and unlikable asshole he ever went to high school with, the 26-year-old reported Monday. The trip back home, scheduled for later this week, will reportedly bring McCabe face-to-face with an endless string of pricks from his past, each of whom he will have to engage in awkward conversation, and generally pretend to be happy about seeing again. 'They're all going to be there,' said McCabe, purchasing an Amtrak train ticket for Rochester, NY. 'Every last one of them, just as shitty and conceited and phony as ever.' 'I can't believe I'm going to see all those assholes again,' McCabe continued. Though he will initially intend to stay at home with his parents, grandparents, and other relatives, McCabe told reporters that after spending approximately five hours in their company, he will grow antsy, borrow his father's car, and drive to nearby Marleybone Pub. There, McCabe expects to bump into at least five insufferable assholes in the first three minutes. 'Guaranteed Ricky Cook will be there,' said McCabe, adding that there isn't much else to do in his hometown. 'And probably Vanessa Torres, and that dickhead Michael Schmidt. Yeah, Schimdt will definitely be there. Probably be hammered, too.' At Marleybone, McCabe will be required to partake in a number of unpleasant activities, including making small talk with several assholes who used to openly mock him during high school, and reminiscing about the 'good old days' of which he was never a part. While the consumption of alcohol will initially make the evening more tolerable, McCabe is ultimately expected to leave the bar after realizing he has just as little in common with all these assholes as he did when he was 15. 'Katie Reynolds will probably come up and give me a big hug like we're the best of friends, even though she never once talked to me during school, and pretty much acted like I was invisible the whole time,' McCabe said. 'Boy, I can't wait to hug that bitch again.' After leaving Marleybone, the 26-year-old predicts he will patronize Bud Murphy's Tavern, a favorite haunt for locals, where an even greater number of assholes are expected to congregate in even higher densities. Assholes such as Craig Horble, Kyle Davis, Vinny Iagosa, Brittany Pipitone, Justin Smigowski, Nick Casey, and Nick's asshole brother, Dennis. According to McCabe, all the assholes in attendance will look the same except for being 10 to 20 pounds heavier, and possibly sporting a new beard or goatee. However, that same old shit-eating grin will still be on all their faces, McCabe reported. If previous years are any indication, assholes who live in the area will not be the only ones out the night before Thanksgiving. Like McCabe, who since graduation has moved to New York, many Marshall High School alumni are expected to return from their new homes all across the country. 'I bet Bill Harding is going to show up and talk about his big lawyer job in San Francisco,' McCabe said. 'I can see it now: 'You know, hours are a real bitch. Money's good, though.' I've known that guy since fifth grade. He's always been an asshole.' Early reports indicate that the mingling of assholes will likely trigger a fight between the hours of 1 a.m. and 2 a.m., with a scuffle expected moments after two giant assholes argue over who rushed for more touchdowns during senior year. McCabe said that he usually tries to avoid any involvement in these fights, but nonetheless anticipates an elbow to his forehead or at the very least a spilled drink on his pants. '[Wayne] Maldonado just loves to run his mouth, especially when it comes to talking shit about people's girlfriends,' McCabe continued. 'He used to be kind of scary when we were all in school, but the guy is almost 30 now. I feel kind of bad for him.' Though he remains anxious about the inevitable fracas, McCabe explained that those experiences are usually counterbalanced with more pleasurable events, such as finding out which assholes now have kids. 'I heard Marissa Feely got knocked up this year,' he said. 'What is that? The third time?' The 26-year-old is not the only one dreading the upcoming week. Several Marshall High School alumni have expressed similar misgivings about running into former classmates on the night before Thanksgiving. 'I can't believe McCabe is coming back,' said local resident Ricky Cook. 'That guy's such a fuckin' asshole.' 
1	Following his lavish wedding over the weekend to financial company president Mellody Hobson, a self-conscious George Lucas is reportedly still too embarrassed to tell his new wife exactly what he does for a living, and continues to just say hes employed in the digital media industry, sources confirmed Tuesday. Oh, I just do a lot of web stuff, you know, in the digital tech kind of realmits not really all that interesting, the visibly uncomfortable screenwriter and film director reportedly told Hobson during their wedding reception, before noting that Steven Spielberg, Samuel L. Jackson, and others in attendance were fans of his work with computers. No, I dont know who Han Solo is. Someone asked you about him? Hmm, I have no idea. Must be some guy who worked at my data-tech company way back. What about your work, though? I love hearing about that. Hows that going? According to sources, Lucas informed his new wife that Skywalker Ranch, where the two were wed, was named for the propertys previous owner, Carl Skywalker, and was still full of a bunch of that guys old junk. 
2	US Soldier Interrupts Praying Muslims With National Anthem On The Guitar After Major General Harold Greene, a high-ranking commander, was murdered during an insider attack at the beginning of this year, President Obama decided to go golfing instead of paying the man the honor he so deserved at his funeral. Greene was the highest ranking officer to be killed in a combat zone since the Vietnam War. According to recent reports, a quarter of the Afghan security forces are Taliban and Al-Qaeda fighters that have infiltrated the army. This is the same army that the United States has been arming and training. Amid this, and several other scandals, and as or borders remain upon to attacks from the Souththere are still a few brief, shining moments that we can be proud of. Such is the case in this video, of a US soldier in Afghanistan doing his own rendition of the National Anthem as the flag was raised. Apparently, the performance took place during the Muslim call to prayer. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	TULSA, OKUniversity of Tulsa sophomore Ben Stoll was gracious enough to sleep with third-year law student Rosie Andriessen Monday. 'Rosie had been acting insecure and needy all evening, so I figured I'd help her out a bit,' said Stoll, who met Andriessen last year through common friends. 'She probably thinks she's too chubby. It must be a big boost for her to have sex with a guy like me.' Stoll decided not to call Andriessen the next day, nor to return any calls she might make, so as not to get her hopes up. 
1	An Elvis Costello CD belonging to area resident Jonathan Wagner, 24, has entered the final stage of de facto ownership by friend Doug Alland, sources reported Tuesday. 'For the first four or five days, I kept Jon's copy of Blood & Chocolate alone on top of my CD player,' Alland, 23, said. 'Then, for about a week and a half, I had it next to a stack of my own CDs that I'd been listening to.' Alland said he then worked the album into the adjacent stack, eventually filing it away in his own CD shelf, where it will remain permanently, unless Wagner specifically asks for it back. 'I'm way more into that album than Jon is, anyway,' said Alland, defending the gradual acquisition. 'He barely ever even played it.' In 1997, Alland made news for a spectacular nine-stage acquisition of Down By Law on videocassette. 
1	In what is being hailed as a triumph for dependent cinema, Sony Pictures' A Perfect Alibi, a $90 million Mel Gibson-Cameron Diaz thriller, topped the weekend box office with an impressive $39 million take. 'This just shows what can be accomplished when you've got a major studio's backing and distribution,' executive producer Don Murray said Monday. 'Contrary to what some in the movie business would have you believe, there is a place for big, non-character-driven pictures.' Murray said he hopes the film's success serves as an inspiration to established, bankable actors and directors. 
1	WASHINGTON, DCCalling the unregulated flow of information 'the single greatest threat to the emotional comfort and well-being of the American people,' Congress passed the long-discussed Freedom From Information Act Monday. Congressional Focus The legislationa response to widespread public demand to know less about the realities of the world around itguarantees citizens protection from unpleasant information and imposes tough new restrictions on facts that federal authorities deem potentially damaging to the public's overall peace of mind. 'What good does it do people to know that, for example, migratory killer bees are due to arrive in Los Angeles this spring?' said Sen. Daniel Coats (R-IN), a key proponent of the bill. 'I don't want to know that a majority of adult males have had more than one homosexual experience, do you? I also have no interest in knowing how widespread mercury poisoning is; the statistics on gun ownership among inner-city youths under the age of 10; and the number of Kazakhstani nuclear warheads currently unaccounted for. Each day, more and more disturbing information encroaches upon the comfortable, illusory worldviews our country's middle- and upper-middle class citizens have constructed for themselves. It is up to this nation's elected officials to stem the tide.' Passage of the new legislative package is being greeted with widespread approval. 'With all the problems and stress of modern life already taxing people's emotional resources to the limit, the last thing we need is a lot of depressing information dragging everybody down even more,' said Greg Hill, an Edina, MN, lawyer and longtime advocate of federally imposed information limits. 'People need to be shielded from the realities of the horrible world if they're to have any chance of getting through life in a pleasant manner.' Fellow anti-information crusader and Deerfield, IL, homemaker Jane Gernbaum agreed. 'I don't want to specifically mention some of the offensive facts I've accidentally exposed myself to, but believe me, they were pretty harsh,' she said from her upscale suburban home. 'It's about time the government put a stop to them.' Much of the impetus for the broad-based information reductions came from parents' groups, which have long been concerned about the harmful effects facts may have on children. 'Kids have curious minds and are eager to learn,' said Francine Walters of the What About The Children? Foundation. 'This makes them susceptible to harmful information-exposure. It's about time Congress finally did something to protect them.' The recent mass slaughter of ethnic Albanians by Serbian forces is just one of the many horrors from which Americans will be shielded with Monday's passage of the Freedom From Information Act. Last month, the calls for information safeguards for children grew louder, due largely to the highly publicized case of El Paso, TX, sixth-grader Jeff Paulsen, who accessed information about the neighboring border city of Juarez, Mexico, from a Harper's magazine in his school library. According to attorneys for the Paulsen family, which owns controlling stock in several textile factories in Juarez, the boy had previously believed the city to be a thriving border town that enjoyed positive economic relations with the U.S. Severely traumatized after discovering that Juarez is actually a deathscape of unimaginable poverty, with one of the highest murder rates in the world, Paulsen became sullen and withdrawn. 'He kept saying, 'What's the point of going to soccer practice when all those Mexican boys and girls are dying?'' said his mother, Carole Paulsen. 'The entire season was a complete wash. He may not even make the team next year.' Children are not the only ones in need of protection: According to an ABC News poll conducted last week, three in five U.S. adults claim to have a 'strong personal fear' of information. Among the facts cited as 'too scary to think about': the number of microscopic creatures living in the average person's hair; the likelihood of a future outbreak of a worldwide 'superflu' pandemic; and the percentage of U.S. families in which father-daughter incest is never reported to authorities, continuing year after year in secrecy. Ironically, while access to information about such subjects will be heavily restricted by the federal government, polls indicate that Americans are most afraid of information regarding the federal government itself. 'I was so content in my belief that President Carter screwed up the hostage-rescue attempt, and that Reagan came in to free the hostages his first day in office,' said Frank Sims, junior partner in a Roanoke, VA, consulting firm and a racquetball enthusiast. 'It wasn't until 1992 that I learned that the Carter attempt was actually sabotaged by the same shadow-government operatives that backed Reagan's election and illegal arms-for-hostages trades. I can't tell you how much that bummed me out.' Under the new act, Americans will be protected from information about the Iran hostage crisis, as well as all other government blunders and/or questionable activities, including the U.S. Army's decades-long Tuskegee syphilis experiments on black veterans; the number of times NORAD has been at DefCon 1 due to human or computer error; and the government's longtime support of Indonesian president Suharto, a dictator responsible for one million deaths in East Timor. 
1	After preventing likely Obama supporter Carmen Ruiz from registering to vote on Monday, Republican elections officer Donald Tobin admitted that he doubts the vote he suppressed would actually have made a difference come Election Day. Obamas going to win here no matter who I disenfranchise, so whats the point? said Tobin, adding that if he lived in a true swing state like Florida or Ohio, his vote suppression might actually count for something. Honestly, whats it say about our electoral system when, even if I exercise my right to turn an elderly or enfeebled U.S. citizen away because he doesnt have a drivers license, it basically means nothing. Thats not democracy. Though he was clearly disappointed, Tobin decided he would place an I Suppressed a Vote Today sticker on his jacket collar, anyway. 
1	Immediately following his eight-hour meeting Wednesday with the owners and coaches of the Tennessee Titans, star free-agent quarterback Peyton Manning initiated talks with the Dolphins over whether their host city would make a good retirement spot, sources close to the team said. 'Peyton called this morning, and I stressed how great Miami would be for him. We've cut some major distractions from our roster, re-signed top defensive personneland I'm willing to design the offense so its keyed on him,' said newly hired coach Joe Philbin, who spent most of the 45-minute call answering Manning's questions about local deep-sea fishing, South Beach nightlife, and the possibility of building a second house in the Keys. 'I was particularly excited to learn that, if he comes to Miami, either right away or in four or five years, he plans on settling down here for good.' Manning is also scheduled to contact the Denver Broncos this week to discuss the possible long-term outlook of skiing conditions. 
1	As expected, Wednesday night's ESPN awards culminated in a win for the recreational competitive activity 'Sports' in the Best Thing category, soundly beating perennial runners-up Girls, Food and Beverages, and Consumer Electronics for the 11th consecutive year and 18th year overall. 'It was really great to hand the award over to Sports, which as you know has only lost once, to Steak with Mashed Potatoes in 2000,' said George Bodenheimer, president of ESPN Inc, who went on to add that being a 'Sports' fan himself was one of the main reasons he agreed to produce the ESPYs. 'Of course, that was a bad year for sports, and a really good one for steak.' Sports could not attend the award ceremony in person, but arranged for former professional basketball player Michael Jordan to accept the trophy because of his strong, 40-year relationship with sports. 
2	Two U.S. Military Aircrafts Taken Down Resulting In 12 American Deaths Earlier this week, two U.S. Military aircrafts collided with each other off the coast of Hawaii. 12 Marines were on board, and crews are currently out looking for any survivors. The cause of the collision is currently unknown, but things like these dont just happen. Personnel from the U.S. Coast Guard, Navy, and Honolulu Fire Department looked for survivors seven miles offshore in increasingly poor weather conditions.

2	Obama Caves To Muslims In A Way You Wont Believe Recently, a group of Oklahoma Muslims received praise from the Obama administration as they brought an end to the yearly pilgrimage to mecca in a communal celebration of Eid Ul-Adha. According to reports, President Barack Obama sent a special message to the group thanking them for their service. Reports also indicate that the message was delivered to the mosque that beheading suspect Alton Nolen was a member of. Reportedly, an official from Washington D.C. flew in to Oklahoma to deliver the message to the congregation. Your service is a powerful example of the powerful roots of the Abrahamic faiths, and how our communities can come together in shared peace with dignity and sense of justice, President Obama told the group. Leaders of the group have been receiving threats following the beheading involving one of their members. The leader of the prayer said, the Muslim faith has been called a cancer that needs to be cut off from the American society. Obviously, Obamas message was intended to welcome the Muslim faith in American society. What do you think of Obamas special delivery? 
1	Local pharmacist Ed Raschi, 52, admitted Monday that he is occasionally bitter that his son Brandon has everything he never had growing up. Ed Raschi and his son Brandon. Despite taking pride in the fact that he has been able to provide a better life for his 17-year-old son, Raschi said he sometimes catches himself feeling jealousy and resentment. 'Sometimes, I'll hear Brandon taking a shower, and I'll think, 'Hope you appreciate that shower,'' Raschi said. 'I usually feel guilty after I think things like that, because a father's supposed to want only the best for his kids. But deep down inside, part of me resents the fact that when I was his age, I had to go down to the YMCA to shower because my father was too drunk too fix anything.' Continued Raschi: 'When I see those fancy soaps Brandon uses, it makes me think of the caustic industrial soap they had at the Y. He really doesn't know what it's like to go without certain things or use industrial lye soap on your private parts.' To escape economically depressed Mayetta, KS, in 1971, Raschi enlisted in the Armya path he more often than not hopes Brandon, 17, will be able to avoid. 'Brandon is very fortunate; he gets to go to college next year,' Raschi said. 'He'll be able to just go to college and dink around for a while, sow some wild oats and 'find himself.' I never got to do that. Instead, I spent 10 months waist deep in rice paddies, waiting for the Viet Cong to strike at any second. After seeing the horrors I saw in 'Nam, you don't waste your time when you get back. But, thank God, Brandon doesn't have to look at life that way. Must be nice.' Raschi is alternately happy and resentful that his son won't face the difficult life lessons he did at an early age. 'I'm glad Brandon has had a better go of it than me,' Raschi said. 'He's never known what it's like to work three jobs while putting yourself through school. As a father, it makes me feel good to know he'll never have to unload boxes at a cannery in the morning, scrub toilets in the university buildings all afternoon, then drive a cab until sun-up with only a scratchy AM radio for company. Then again, that really stinks that I had to do it but he doesn't.' Brandon has also not had to learn the value of a dollar. 'Brandon is a great kid, and he gets good grades, but when I see him fritter away his allowance on Big Macs and rap CDs, I get a little upset,' Raschi said. 'When I was his age, every dollar I earned went toward food for my brothers and sisters, or paying the electric bill. I didn't get to spend it on a Game Cube. I mean, those games look pretty fun, but damn if I ever get to play them.' Though Raschi's envy doesn't make him love his son any less, he does wish that he had had the sort of nurturing, comfortable upbringing Brandon enjoys. 'Both my parents were emotionally distant and had violent tempers,' Raschi said. 'Brandon, on the other hand, has warm, loving parents who look out for him. He should be thankful every day that he has a devoted mother and father. The lucky bastard.' 
1	In an effort to reassure a weary American public, President Obama said Friday that his decision to authorize airstrikes to protect Iraqi Kurds and besieged Yazidi minorities was not the beginning of a slippery slope toward other humanitarian interventions. Many are concerned that these strikes could lead to responding in a compassionate, principled manner to a host of other crises in the world, but I cannot and will not permit that to happen, the president said at a press conference, emphasizing that the strike would not deteriorate into involvement on behalf of other oppressed peoples anywhere else on the globe. As commander-in-chief, I can assure the American people that this is a limited-scale mission of mercy that will in no way take us down the road to stepping in on behalf of other persecuted groups. Nobody wants that. At press time, polls suggested that the U.S. populace was divided on the airstrikes, and even supporters worried that humanitarian interventions had a way of getting out of hand.

According to recent reports, Russia just sent the worlds largest submarine, equipped with 200 nuclear weapons, to demolish the terrorist organization. Dmitri Donskoy (TK-208) is the worlds largest submarine. The beast just set sail for the Mediterranean, and is en route to the Syrian coast, according to military and intelligence sources. Debkafile reports that there are 20 Bulava (NATO-code SS-N-30) intercontinental ballistic missiles and an estimated 200 nuclear warheads on board. Each missile carries 6-10 MIRV and has a range of approximately 10,000km. In laymans terms, its not looking good for ISIS. The decision to introduce a nuclear force opposite Syrian shores is a move by President Vladimir Putin that raises the stakes to a potential air and sea confrontation with U.S. forces in the Middle East.

3	A Federal Judge Just Shamed the DEA for Fabricating Sham Cases to Justify War on DrugsBy Justin Gardner After 9/11, among the many travesties of the Patriot Act was a little-known section that gave the DEA powerful new abilities, under the guise of narco-terrorism. The agency says that these new pursuits are promoting national security, and it uses the purported success to lobby Congress for more funding. However, according to ProPublica, these narco-terrorism cases are merely staging threats, not stopping them. Many targets of the DEA have no actual involvement in terrorist groups and are the hapless victims of entrapment. A federal court recently showed the reality of this when it threw out a conviction because the DEA relied on a known fabricator. This Afghan informant, identified during trial only as Qari, formed almost the entire basis of the DEAs case against alleged narco-terrorist Haji Bagcho. In a 24-page ruling, issued last Friday, Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle vacated the narco-terrorism count against Bagcho, saying the government violated the defendants right to due process by failing to turn over favorable impeachment evidence. She wrote, Evidence that the DEAs Kabul office was told that Qari had been deemed a liar by another government agency, yet it still elected to use him as a witness would serve to undermine the reliability of the governments investigation and its sources. Qari was paid $45,000 by the DEA for acting as a confidential informantwhile the usual income in Afghanistan was less than $600. A previous court had already designated Qari a fabricator and/or information peddler, and that other agency mentioned in Huvelles ruling had deemed his information unrealistic and sensational. The DEA pleaded ignorance in using Qari, saying its failure was due to discrepancies in the spelling of Qaris name. Only a month ago, ProPublica and the New Yorker examined some 37 narco-terrorism cases highlighted by the DEA and found that a disturbing number of them also unraveled. In most of the cases, the only evidence of a link between drugs and terrorism entered into evidence was provided by the DEA, which used paid informants to lure targets into staged narco-terrorism conspiracies. The case of Harouna Tour and Idriss Abdelrahman provides another example. The DEA launched an elaborate scheme to entrap the two smugglers in a narco-terrorism plot, involving fabricated tales of thousands of FARC fighters ready to collaborate against the U.S. This was the first narco-terrorism case brought against al Qaida, and DEA was hoping to make a big show. As the Malians case proceeded, however, its aws became apparent. The defendants emerged as more hapless than hardened, childhood friends who believed that the DEAs informants were going to make them rich. They were lying to us. And we were lying to them, Tour told me from prison. Judge Barbara Jones, who oversaw the nal phases of the case, said, There was no actual involvement by the defendants or the undercovers in the activities of either al-Qaida or the FARC. Another judge saw as many problems with the statute as with the merits of the case. Congress has passed a law that attempts to bind the world, he said to me. These sting operations, better known as entrapment, are a favorite tool of law enforcementfrom local police departments to the FBI to the DEA in Afghanistan. Besides being a waste of taxpayer money, they are a morally reprehensible way for the state to carry out its dirty drug war. Even judges are not buying it anymore. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com Our whole government is nothing more than a pool of corruption. The American peoples money is wasted from one end to the other. The mob could do a better job of running the government. Ive always thought wed do way better selecting our politicians at random. The ol grandma down the street could do more good than any politician/puppet. Yes, yes, yes! But that would be real representative government now, wouldnt it? And Pelosi never meant to drain the swamp either. If the judge didnt throw the offenders in jail for their lies then he really didnt do anything now did he?

The accelerator on the passenger side is just a precaution should a student driver turn out to be a dickless wuss whos afraid of really gunning it, said Dennison, explaining that the pedal is an important failsafe that can be deployed whenever some candy-ass teenager tries to limp onto the interstate at 55 miles an hour like a little bitch. As an instructor, you want to avoid any unnecessary interference, but when youve got some pantywaist behind the wheel who doesnt have the stones to pass on the shoulder, sometimes youve got to sack up, drop the hammer, and show that little nancy how its done.

2	Obama Is FURIOUS After Military Official Takes THIS Massive Stand Against Him According to recent reports, an intelligence briefing from last week by the Pentagons Joint Staff revealed that ISIS terrorists have been crossing European borders mostly unimpeded. The briefing also outline both the legal and illegal ways that terrorists cross borders, and claimed that European security measures have done little to stop ISIS terrorists. According to the brief, the influx of Syrian refugees is too significant for counter-terrorism efforts. That has major impacts on the United States as well, as some of those Syrian refugees resettle in America. That ties directly to security efforts here, one official told reporters. Despite these reports, Obama insists on stubbornly moving forward with his plan to let Syrian refugees into our country, claiming that they pose no security threat to Americans. This is absolutely ludicrous, especially given that one of the terrorists involved in the Paris attacks was reportedly a fake Syrian passport from when ISIS took over the city of Raqqa. What do you think? Does Obama need to be kicked out of the White House before he endangers our country further? 
1	Sportsmen throughout the region donned camouflage and readied their rifles and bows Monday, heralding the official opening of New Hampshire's 2011 leaf-hunting season. In what has become a time-honored autumn ritual, foliage hunters reportedly entered the state's wooded areas to match their skills against maple, oak, and poplar leaves that have fallen from trees. 'Nothing makes you feel more alive than the sweat on your brow as you take down a freshly sprawled pile of red maple leaves,' said 58-year-old hunter Lyle Inman, showing reporters the mounted taxidermy busts of leaves hanging on a wall in his home. 'The adrenaline rush of being face-to-face with a leaf in its native environment is simply unparalleled.' 'This is an American tradition,' Inman added. 'It's man against nature.' State game officials confirmed that for the next three weeks it will be open season on the fallen leaves of silver maples, cottonwoods, all oak varieties, flowering dogwoods, shagbark hickories, sycamores over 10 feet, larches, and hackberries. As usual, New Hampshire's state tree will be fair game for one weekend only, during the annual Great White Birch Hunt, in which each participant is limited to one leaf per $20 permit. Hunters all across the nation proudly display their fresh kills every year. The Granite State's forest canopies have turned exceptionally vivid shades of gold, sienna, amber, and russet this year, reportedly drawing in hunters from all over the Northeast who hope to return home with a prize leaf strapped to the hood of their car. 'I brought my son out this year so he could have a chance to bag his first leaf,' said Dan Hardin of Leominster, MA, who was teaching his 12-year-old son how to cut open a sweet-birch leaf and clean it. 'Hopefully we can kill enough to freeze and last us through the winter. You can pickle and jar them, too. Folks around here have been doing that for generations.' Over the years, hunters said, their strategies for stalking leaves have grown more sophisticated and they've found new ways to get closer to piles undetected, often by cloaking themselves with spray-on bark scents or blowing into a 'leaf call' device that mimics rustling noises. Nonetheless, experienced marksmen said the only way to guarantee a clean leaf kill is with a straight shot to the midrib or petiole. 'You've got to stay focused, tread lightly, and, most importantly, think like a leaf,' said skilled huntsman Ernie Richards, 43, a native of Amherst, NH. 'Sometimes I'll track a leaf for a full day before making my move. It's all about keeping one step ahead of your quarry and anticipating where it will go next. Then you go in for the kill.' A leaf hunter with his prey. 'This one's just a young budno older than two months, I'd say,' continued Richards, holding up a shotgun-grazed young oak leaf he soon released back into the wild. 'If you look over there you'll see an older one. That boy's a five-pointer at least.' While vegetation rights groups have long protested the sport, leaf-hunting enthusiasts have been quick to defend the practice as both an inalienable right and a method necessary to curb the rapid growth of organic debris on forest floors. Walter Hastings, a retiree who lives on Lake Winnipesaukee, said his front yard is overrun by leaves almost every fall. When the problem arose again this year, he invested in a crossbow. 'I'm not much of a hunter myself, but if I didn't shoot some of these elm leaves each day, they'd be all over my grass,' he said. 'There's a reason God gave us dominion over such things. We've got to take them down a notch or else they get out of control.' Several hunters told reporters they see leaf season as a call to return to the wilderness, a yearly rite that hearkens backs to a time when people everywhere lived off the land and its leaves. 'It's not just about outmaneuvering a pile of leaves,' said Paul Garrison, 33, who is planning a hunting trip with friends this weekend. 'This is about sitting out in a field with a couple of guys, smelling the charred red pine needles over a fire, and drinking some beers while taking in the natural beauty around you.' 'It's a simpler way of life,' Garrison continued. 'I'm sure the guys who go pollen-trapping would tell you the same thing.'

Not to mention the failing programs she has attempted to integrate into public school systems. Frustrated American psychiatrist, Ablow decided to call the First Ladys bluff on the show Outnumbered claiming that she could drop a few pounds. The comment was made during a discussion about Michelles unhealthy eating habits and her affection for fried foods. How well could she be eating? Ablow asked. She needs to drop a few. Lets be honest.

The source, who remains confidential, told investigators that Gray was banging against the walls of the transport van throughout the ride. However, the prisoner was in a separate section than Gray and could not see him. Another source maintains that Gray was shackled [while in the van] because he was irate and angry. Still, the attorney for the Gray family maintains that their son did not injure himself. We disagree with any implication that Freddie Gray severed his own spinal cord, attorney Jason Downs told the Washington Post. We question the accuracy of the police reports weve seen thus far, including the police report that says Mr. Gray was arrested without force or incident. What do you think? Is there more to this story that the media isnt telling us?

Get out of my way, college boys, let Carl goddamn Lewis show you how it's done.' Lewis proceeded to light a cigarette on the Olympic torch, sprint toward the long-jump runway, trip over the platform, and fall face-first into the sand pit, where he lay motionless for two hours, his sobs eventually subsiding to a gentle snoring. 
2	BREAKING: Huma Abedin Engulfed By Massive Sex Scandal... This Could Ruin Hillarys Campaign On Monday, top Clinton aide Huma Abedin announced her separation from her husband and former congressman Antony Weiner. The announcement followed a bombshell report from the New York Post on Sunday that Weiner had been caught, once again, sending an explicit picture online. The photograph reportedly showed a bulge in his white, Jockey-brand boxer briefs and his son cuddled up to his left, wrapped in a light green blanket. The 51-year-old allegedly sent the image via a Twitter direct message to a 40-something divorcee who he has been sexting with for nearly two years. You do realize you can see you[r] Weiner in that pic? the woman replied to the picture. Weiner played innocent, but the woman quickly called him out. Whatever, she replied. You did it on purpose. The two then expressed the need to be careful and laugh about the fact that Weiner could have accidentally posted the picture publicly. This is not the first time the two have communicated in this manner. The former congressman also reportedly wrote messages of masturbating as he thought about her, describing the woman as his literally a fantasy chick. After long and painful consideration and work on my marriage, I have made the decision to separate from my husband, Abedin said in a statement about the separation. Anthony and I remain devoted to doing what is best for our son, who is the light of our life. During this difficult time, I ask for respect for our privacy. What do you think of these reports? Could this do serious damage to Clintons campaign?

'When we started, we were all really excited about the concept,' the chain's CEO, Carl Rasmussen, said. 'You could walk in the store, plunk down 10 grand and walk out with anything you saw on the shelves. We carried everything from pillowcases to staplers to toy rifles for the kids. Unfortunately, the public just never seemed to respond.' When pressed for the reasons for the chain's failure, Rasmussen was unsure: 'It's hard to say. Perhaps we didn't do a good enough job marketing ourselves.' Rasmussen said he would eventually like to open a 'more upscale shop, perhaps in the five to seven million dollar range,' to fill the space housing Everything's $10,000, located in the Wheeling Plaza strip mall between Pat's Laundromat and Arby's. 
2	Top General Warns America In 2014, President Barack Obama claimed that the war in Afghanistan was over, and called for an end to all United States and NATO combat operations. Now, were seeing the same behavior as it pertains to the Islamic State Group, who he has claimed in contained. We dont know why the president feels compelled to deceive the American public, but we do know that leaders throughout the country are tired of his lies. Now, a top U.S. commander in Afghanistan is coming forward to call Obama on his bluff. Gen. John Campbell, the commander of all U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, claims that the Islamic State group has been growing rapidly and continues to express a desire to strike against the U.S. They dont have the capability right now to attack Europe, or attack the homeland, the United States, but thats what they want to do, theyve said thats what they want to do, Campbell told the Associated Press in an interview. The Islamic State group affiliate goes by the name Islamic State-Khorasan Province. A new report out of the Pentagon claims that IS-KP has progressed from its initial exploratory phase to a point where they are openly fighting the Taliban for the establishment of a safe haven, and are becoming more operationally active. Campbells warning was also echoed by the chairman of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, who just returned from a trip to the region. Its definitely growing, Rep. Robert Pittenger told reporters. It started out as a small colony, down in the southeastern border, but theyre definitely growing in the region. Their presence poses a threat to the United States. Theyre clearly focused on attacking U.S. interests. Its a very conflicted and very challenging situation. I think if we left, it would all collapse, Pittenger continued. No different than what happened in Iraq. What do you think? Are you tired of Obama deceiving the American public? 
3	World Gold Reserves May Run out in 20 YearsJoshua Krause In fact, this next year might be just as hard on gold as it was last year. There are signs that the Fed might decide to raise interest rates soon, which would in turn increase the value of the dollar even more. Granted, the dollar is still standing on shaky ground. With dozens of nations rushing to join Chinas new international investment bank (many of them US allies) the long-term prognosis for the dollar is not good. The world is fed up with having to use the predatory petrodollar for all their transactions, and theyre doing everything they can to insulate themselves from its inevitable demise. But in the meantime the dollar appears to be enjoying its last hurrah, and those who are selling their gold arent looking at the long-term trends. There are two very important forces bearing down on the gold/dollar relationship. One is the global move to ditch the dollar described above. The other is the increasing scarcity of gold, and the rising costs of its production. Recently, Goldman Sachs came out with a new prediction for the gold mining industry. With new gold discoveries on the decline, it appears that there may only be about 20 years worth of known reserves left to mine, and that gold production may hit its peak this year. Of course, this analysis is meaningless in a vacuum: if the known reserves of gold plunge in the coming decade, no matter how many gold futures and GLD short sales are conducted by the BIS, the price will have to go up, and it will go up high enough to where a new surge of gold miners will come online and find thousands of new tons of gold reserves around the globe. Unless they dont, and Goldman is correct that peak gold may have arrived. This will be even more true if over the coming years the long overdue fiat economic panic finally washes over the globe, and a revulsion toward central bank policies forces a scramble into gold whose value (if not price since fiat currencies will be redundant) soars. One thing is for sure, the cost of mining gold has been keeping pace with its demand for the past decade, and the desire to abandon fiat currencies has been growing. If these factors combine with a peak gold scenario, it could completely derail the whole paper gold market and send prices to unimaginable levels. But for now, I would take a cautious stance on buying gold. While the dollar is still reaping the benefits of its final rally, the price of gold might still lose ground. Just keep your eyes peeled for that final drop in price before the world ditches the dollar, and youll stand to make a pretty penny.

2	U.S. Marine Fired For Refusing To Remove Bible Verse [SEE DETAILS] According to recent reports, a U.S. Marine was just convicted for refusing to remove a Bible verse on her computer desktop. The screen read No weapon formed against me shall prosper. The military determined that the line could easily be seen as contrary to good order and discipline. Sterling, the Marine, was convicted at a court-martial at Camp Lejune in North Carolina. She reportedly refused to obey the orders to remove the verse. This refusal has now left her unemployed, a process that will be extraordinarily difficult given her charge of bad conduct and dishonorable discharge. If the government can order a Marine not to display a Bible verse, they could try and order her not to get a religious tattoo, or go to church on Sunday, Michael Berry, an attorney for the Liberty Institute, claimed in a statement. Restricting a Marines free exercise of religion is blatantly unconstitutional. This incident is just one of many attempts by the government to restrict the expression of faith among our men and women in uniform.

'Whether it is breaded with matzo, served as shwarma, or covered in tikka masala sauce, chicken is the one meat upon which all faiths can agree,' said spokesman Jerome Maliszewski, addressing an assembly of rabbis, mullahs, and shamans. 'Let this friendly exchange of recipes be the first tentative step toward everlasting peace.' Attendees at the combination summit and potluck dinner labeled it a qualified success, regretting the altercation that broke out between factions with differing views on skewer length. 
1	Nearly a month after Barack Obama was elected the 44th president of the United States, the nation's economy is still going strong in its efforts to secure him the highest office in the land. Through its trifecta of moribund housing prices, a wildly fluctuating stock market, and an unprecedented credit crisis, the U.S. economy helped propel Obama past rival John McCain in polls leading up to the Nov. 4 electiona helpful boost the nation's financial system has since supplemented with the imminent collapse of the Big Three auto manufacturers and looming fears of a long-term depression. 'Thanks to the disastrous efforts of our economy, Obama would be virtually unbeatable were he to run again in December or January,' CNN political analyst Pat Harris said. 'According to the most recent data, Obama's edge continues to grow among those who just lost their jobs and have no idea how they're going to feed their children, as well as among citizens who are freezing to death on the streets at this very moment.' The outspoken U.S. economy, which has already been campaigning for months in Iceland and South America, reportedly plans to spend the next 10 to 15 years spreading its message to every single country on the globe. 
1	Bemoaning the burdensome expectations regularly placed upon him by his family, friends, coworkers, and even strangers, local 38-year-old Howard Ridley expressed discomfort Tuesday with the number of situations in which he is asked to think, feel, or actand sometimes do all three. I swear, everywhere I go, people expect me to take some matter or another into consideration, display some sort of emotion in response, and perhaps even do something about it, Ridley said in a press statement blasting what he described as the near-daily requests that he assess a situation before him and then react to it in a rational, or at least socially appropriate, manner. Im sick of it. Everyone needs to back off, give me some space, and let me respond to the outside world if and when Im ready to do so. Ridley added that if he were to cave in to the incessant demands on his behavior, the next thing you know, people would be pressuring him to actually talk and move. 
3	Biofarms to Integrate Vaccines, Pharmaceuticals into GMO Biopharmaceutical CropsAnthony Gucciardi Contaminating 500,000 bushels of soy with their biopharmaceutical corn that contained pharmaceutical and vaccine components associated with deadly diseases, the company was slapped with a minor $500,000 fine by the USDA (the same government organization that gives Monsantos crops special speed approval and ignores the companys blatant disregard for its regulations). As it turns out, the pharmaceutical crops were actually mixed in with traditional crops and unknowing farmers had already planted the crops for human consumption. The USDA claims, however, that the crops were confiscated. After receiving the fine and some press coverage on the subject, ProdiGene decided not to apologize but to expand their mission. The company, in combination with estimates by Dow AgroSciences, stated that they sought to reach $200 billion in biopharmaceutical crops within 10 years (as of 2004). Furthermore, they estimated that 10% of the corn in the United States will be biopharmaceutical in nature. In other words, it could contain hidden nano-scale vaccinations, antibiotics, anti-depressants, or any form of pharmaceutical drug. One California based company has even created a spermicidal corn to be used as a mass contraceptive. In an AlterNet piece covering the issue entitled Spermicidal Breakfast Cereal, author Carmelo Ruiz-Marrero asks: The existence of such technology brings the fight against GMOs to an entirely new level. Outside of the known effects such as recent links to tumors, DNA damage, and other complications, GMO crops on your dinner table could soon contain pharmaceutical drugs like statins in an effort of mass medicating the public. Such an effort would likely be used in conjunction with others to fight against those who choose to opt out of vaccinations, delivering the vaccine through the food supply. It may sound absurd, and it is, but is not a new notion. Researchers previously designed a method in which mosquitoes could be flying vaccine carriers to inject large numbers of individuals with vaccinations without their knowledge of consent. As one spokesman for a major ecology organization explained: One single mistake from a biotechnology company and well be having someone elses prescription medicine for breakfast in our cereal, said Larry Bohlen from Friends of the Earth, an international ecology organization. The information ties in with the recent news revealing that Monsanto now owns a monumental gene silencing technology for pharmaceutical use in humans. The king biotechnology company even forged a recent alliance with Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to get the initiative started. After all, Monsanto would not lose an opportunity to conquer a large portion of the massive $200 billion biopharmaceutical crop market. Other corporations are looking to get a chunk too, with the molecularfarming.com website acting a hub for farmers willing to lease their land for biopharmaceutical experiments across the globe. Touting a net worth of $80 billion in the coming years, investors are continually looking to get their hands on biopharmaceutical growing operations to churn out drug-containing GMO crops for mass consumption and mass profits. So far, theyve garnered contracts as far as Zimbabwe to continue their operations. Just like regular GMOs, DDT, and cigarettes, experts are concerned that the real effects of biopharmaceutical growth may not be recognized until decades later. What will have to happen before the Department of Agriculture takes seriously the fact that millions of people almost ended up consuming experimental drugs and chemicals? asks Brandon Keim, of the Council for Responsible Genetics in reference to the ProdiGene scandal. A few sensational deaths? Maybe an increase in debilitating disorders which will only be noticeable some decades later, when its already too late? If the public grows more aware of GMO dangers with the grassroots support and potential passing of Prop 37, however, biopharmaceutical farms may never see mainstream success.

3	Are Smartphones Becoming a Substitute for Thinking?Alex Pietrowski A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo asked just that same question and conducted three studies with a total of 600 participants. The study categorized the subjects by measuring their cognitive style, ranging from intuitive to analytical, and it also evaluated verbal and numerical skills. The study also analyzed the participants device usage habits. What the researchers found was that the convenience of smartphones is making us less likely to use our own brainpower. This effect was more noticeable in intuitive thinkers, which are defined as personas that rely on instincts to make decisions. This type of person seems to be becoming lazier when it comes to thinking about a problem or question, and more often turns to the smartphones search engine for answers. They may look up information that they actually know or could easily learn, but are unwilling to make the effort to actually think about it. ~ Gordon Pennycook, co-lead author of the study, and a PhD candidate in the Department of Psychology at Waterloo. Decades of research has revealed that humans are eager to avoid expending effort when problem-solving and it seems likely that people will increasingly use their smartphones as an extended mind.~ Nathaniel Barr, the other lead author of the paper, and a postdoctoral researcher at Waterloo. The other type of thinker, identified by the researchers as the analytical thinker with stronger cognitive skills and who is less likely to go with a gut feeling when solving problems or seeking answers, showed a greater eagerness to think without using the Internet for information. Our research provides support for an association between heavy smartphone use and lowered intelligence, said Pennycook. Whether smartphones actually decrease intelligence is still an open question that requires future research. Our reliance on smart phones and other devices will likely only continue to rise, said Barr.Its important to understand how smartphones affect and relate to human psychology before these technologies are so fully ingrained that its hard to recall what life was like without them. We may already be at that point. The researchers did not find any correlation between cognitive abilities and heavy use of social media and entertainment apps. An important point they did make is that avoiding using our own minds to problem-solve might have adverse consequences for aging. The body is not the only part of you that needs exercise. Perhaps next time youre working on remembering a random fact or are faced with a problem, think about it a little bit more and let your brain do some heavy lifting before pulling out your smartphone.

3	Montreal To Ban New Restaurants To Protect Existing Eateries!By Dan Dicks Visit PressForTruth.ca A great example of how the existing power structure thinks it can legislate away unpleasant reality. The problem is that the market always strikes back such as people eating in more, traveling out of the affected area to eat, bandit restaurants, etc. The restaurateurs that got this passed will get a lot of unpleasant surprises. The language police, now the restaurant police (maybe). Payola works in Quebec though. IMO considering the magnitude of whats really going on in this insane world of war, slavery, pedophilia corruption etc etc by the lunatics in charge of the asylumthis is pure pap unworthy of even a footnote in a purportedly alternative site in a world gone mad. 
1	In an effort to escape the intense media scrutiny surrounding her recently exposed liaison with former CIA director David Petraeus, Paula Broadwell is reportedly crashing on the Petraeus familys couch until the uproar blows over. Holly [Petraeus] has been the most gracious hostess throughout this whole ordeal, Broadwell said of the woman whom she once spent hours interviewing while having an affair with her husband and writing his biography. I wouldnt blame her if the arrangement has left her feeling a little put outhouseguests can be a pretty big inconveniencebut shes been really sweet about it. She gave me a couple of Davids old Army uniforms to sleep in and some fleece blankets from the closet. At press time, sources confirmed Broadwells offer to help Holly Petraeus do the dishes had been politely rebuffed. 
1	Officials announced today that, as of this morning, every last person in the entire nation has successfully paired off with their respective romantic partner and is enjoying a fulfilling relationship, with the exception of all the losers. Everyone in the United States who is in any way attractive or desirable is now happily coupled with a significant other, said Census Bureau deputy director Nancy Potok, noting that the whole of the American populace, minus the losers, officially completed the coupling process at 11:30 a.m. today, when Atlanta residents Keri Fowler and Curtis Jones decided to start seeing each other exclusively. The remaining single people out there have been deemed entirely unappealing by all potential mates. If youre not in a relationship now, you never will be. Our research has confirmed that some people in this world simply dont deserve love. Potok added that there was zero possibility of the single losers being able to pair off with other single losers, due to the fact that theyre all such total losers. 
2	Bill Cosby Caught On Camera Raping Teenager In Playboy Mansion Just last week, 24-year-old Chloe Goins came forward with accusations that Bill Cosby raped her at the Playboy Mansion when she was just 18 years old. Of course, the story made headlines. Goins case differs from the other claims being made against Cosby, because her lawyers claims that the rape was captured on security cameras, and the statute of limitations has not yet run out against the young model. Now, Goins just met with the LAPD to give them an official statement. Goins claimed that Cosby spiked her drink at a Playboy party and led her upstairs. She then claims that she woke up naked in drug-induced haze to Cosby licking her toes with his pants off. The LAPD is hoping to access any tapes of the incident, but so far, they have been unsuccessful in obtaining them. Spencer Kuvin, Goins lawyer, claims that his client is determined to press charges despite being very afraid of a powerful, influential man who clearly took advantage of her in a situation. What do you think of the new claims? 
1	After being away for nearly two millennia, Jesus Christ triumphantly returned Monday to pick up some of His old belongings. 'I realize this isn't exactly how the world's Christians were imagining it, but I left a really comfortable pair of sandals in Galilee, and I wanted them back,' said Christ, who died for our sins. 'Also, I'm pretty sure I lent [Apostle] Simon Peter my best goblet at the Last Supper.' This marks Christ's first return since 76 A.D., when he thought he'd forgotten to turn off his coffee pot. 
1	Seahawks wide receiver Terrell Owens announced Friday that he was still struggling to decide which of the team's three quarterbacks to undermine this season, claiming that Matt Flynn, Russell Wilson, and Tarvaris Jackson were all potential candidates for unfair criticism and personal attacks. 'I'm torn, because Russell is a rookie, so I thought I would be able to publicly blame him for a poor offensive performance, but he's doing great,' said Owens, who wouldn't rule out openly insinuating that one of the quarterbacks was secretly gay. 'Matt's obviously more experienced than Russell, and he'd be perfect for unjust accusations that he's not getting me the ball enough and is favoring other receivers. On the other hand, let's not forget about Tarvaris, eitherhe already knows this offense so well that I could easily question the level of his conditioning in front of reporters.' Owens also confirmed that he was still weighing which team to sign a short-term contract with once he is released by the Seahawks midway through the season. 
2	The Truth Behind Operation Jade Helm Just Got Blown Wide Open [VIDEO] Operation Jade Helm has become one of the most controversial military exercises weve seen this year. Set to take place from July 2015 to September 2015, members from all branches of the U.S. military are set to launch a Special operations exercise. Jade Helm is noticeably larger than most of the exercises weve seen in the past, with nearly 1,200 troops participating, including Green Berets, Navy SRALS, and Air Force special operations troops. The nature of warfare is always changing and U.S. Army Special Operations Commands mission is to make certain the Armys various Special Operations forces are trained, equipped and organized to successfully conduct worldwide special operations in support of our nations interests, Lt. Col. Mark Lastoria, command spokesman, said in a statement. Training exercise Jade Helm is going to assist our Special Operations Soldiers and leadership in refining the skills needed against an ever changing foreign threat. Those participating are set to operate undercover among the publicsomething that some fear could be the beginning of a larger plan for martial law. In particular, there are questions about the regions selected for the operation, especially with states like Texas and Utah being labeled hostile. What do you think? Is there more to Jade Helm than were being told? 
1	After six months of attempting to conceive of having children, local couple Beth and Nathan Jablonski told reporters Monday that they are still no closer to implanting the notion. 'We try almost every night,' said a visibly frustrated Nathan, whose underdeveloped sense of responsibility, coupled with Beth's less-than-fertile imagination, is partly to blame for the Jablonskis' current situation. 'But time after time, the whole idea is suddenly aborted before it has a chance to grow.' The couple said that they are considering adopting a new life philosophy, but, due to Beth's blackened, withered ovaries, the point remains irrelevant. 
2	BREAKING: Ivanka Trump Berated By Furious Liberal On Plane, Immediately Gets Hit With Devastating Justice Ivanka Trump got quite a scare this week when she was attacked by a liberal lawyer onboard a JetBlue flight to Palm Beach, Florida. Daily Mail reported that the 35-year-old had just boarded the flight with her children when she was attacked by a man with a child in his arms. Your father is ruining the country, Dan Goldstein, a lawyer from Brooklyn, told reporters. Why is she on our flight? She should be flying private. Ivanka kept her cool and swiftly ignored the man, distracting her children with crayons and trying to diffuse the situation. The crew stepped in to escort Goldstein from the plane. His husband, Matthew Lasner, later to took to Twitter to criticize JetBlue officials for acting unfairly. My husband expressed his displeasure in a calm tone, JetBlue staff overheard, and they kicked us off the plane, Lasner wrote. Hours before, however, he posted: Ivanka and Jared at JFK T5, flying commercial. My husband chasing them down to harass them. #banalityofevil. Lasner also snapped a photo of Ivanka. He then quickly deleted all of the tweets. JetBlue defended their actions by releasing the following statement: 
1	Watching him pore over case files Monday morning from his office at Chester County Courthouse, youd never know that Sam Morris, known affectionately as Sammy by his coworkers and former handlers, has only spent five weeks as the districts top prosecutor. But Morris, Chester Countys newly elected district attorney, clearly knows what hes doing. Over a long career in law enforcement, Morris has patrolled crime-plagued streets, chased down criminals, and worked on some of the courts toughest cases. Now hes putting his expertise to use in the D.A.s office, a natural position for a man who, through hard work and dedication, worked his way up through the ranks from police dog. It doesnt surprise me at all that Sammy got electedhe was a great friend, a great coworker, and an even greater police dog, said state police commissioner Kevin Engles, who handled Morris during his early days in the force. From the moment he bounded through the door of the K-9 training academy, we knew we had something special. He wasnt just a physically powerful dog, but he was also smart as a whip. He had a great instinct for police work and could detect scents that werent even on the radar of other K-9 officers. When I saw Sammy at the courthouse the other day arguing passionately in front of a jury, I said to myself, Thats the same intensity he used to help us find the Posner girl 10 years ago, Engles added. A file photo of Morris from his time in the West Chester County K-9 unit. Members of the West Chester County Police Dept. recalled that from his earliest days patrolling the streets, Morris ambitions were high. The scruffy officer seemed to always have a paw in five divisions at once, learning everything he could about criminal justice while simultaneously taking night courses at the local community college in the hopes of one day attending law school. In the meantime, as a police dog on the beat in and around West Chester, Morris helped officers bust open some of their biggest cases. In a career highlight for Morris, the lightning-quick patrol dog, then only 3 years old, chased down two serial robbers who had broken onto private property and detained them using the bark and circle technique, helping police identify one of the biggest theft rings in recent memory. Morris, however, continued to eye the highest office in the districts legal department. He rose through the ranks of the WCPD and eventually became a patrolman and then a detective. After a brief reassignment serving as a mounted horse for the Department of Public Safety, Morris was accepted at Villanova School of Law, earned a 3.8 GPA, and was hired as an assistant district attorney. Most police dogs are content to stay where they aredo a couple years in drug enforcement, visit a couple elementary schools, then retire by age 7, said longtime friend Barry Kiernan, a veteran policeman who has worked alongside dozens of K-9 officers. But Sammy was different. He didnt want to spend his best years sniffing purses and barking at perps. He wanted to really reform our criminal justice system, and thats something he can do as district attorney. Hes a good boy, added Kiernan. A real good boy. But Morris rise to the top wasnt without its sacrifices. According to close friends, he almost opted out of the D.A. race to spend more time with his wife and children. Morris was married two years ago, and in addition to his 8-month-old twins, Noah and Madison, also has three older childrenCoco, Smokey, and Martinifrom a previous relationship. After receiving support from his family and dozens of past and current police dogs, however, Morris decided to throw his hat into the ring, and was elected to the D.A.s office in a landslide victory. Seeing Sammy expertly question witnesses in front of a grand jury, youd never know he started out as a police dog, former partner Sgt. Jean Kerwood told reporters. The way he meticulously conducts investigations and presents his evidence for judges, its hard to imagine this is the same prosecutor who used to bust criminals by chasing them into back alleyways and biting them in the legs. But its just a testament to how far Sammy has come since his years as a K-9.' Sammy already had the speed, agility, and heightened olfactory sense to be an excellent law officer, but it took dedication and a ton of hard work to become a D.A., Kerwood continued. To be honest, I still dont know how he did it. 
1	According to reports, the American people are currently rubbing their hands in anticipation for whatever vile, disgusting garbage the internet will eventually puke up across a variety of news outlets, blogs, social media networks, and comment sections today. Man oh man, I literally cannot wait to see what foul shit the web smears across my computer screen, said Massachusetts resident Andrew Renzi, 29, before eagerly checking out the latest despicable offal and sludge Facebook, Twitter, CNN.com, and Reddit had recently coughed up. Whats it gonna be? A horrid slideshow spewed from the pits of internet hell designed to appeal to the basest form of human intelligence? A poisonous stream of racist comment threads? Either way, I just love how you can always count on the net to deliver a rancid, steaming plate of feces fresh to your browser every morning. At press time, Renzi had breathlessly clicked on a link to a story about Elvis connection to Michael Jacksons death. 
3	Were Stingray Surveillance Planes Listening to Baltimore Protesters?By Derrick Broze So Shayne decided to ask the Internet what they thought, tweeting, Anyone know who has been flying the light plane in circles above the city for the last few nights? A former employee with the American Civil Liberties Union happened to see the tweet and was able to identify the plane, a Cessna 182T, and its exact flight path and registered owner, NG Research, based in Bristow, Va. The former ACLU employee contacted the ACLU in Maryland, who then passed it on to the national ACLU. In response to the revelations, the ACLU has now filed a Freedom of Information request with the FBI, DEA, and U.S. Marshals Service seeking information about these flights. They also filed a FOIA request with the FAA to attempt to obtain the flight plans. selfnewss and civil liberties advocates fear that the authorities may have been making use of emerging technologies, in an attempt to not only monitor the protests for potential violence, but to actually spy on activists conversations. This would not be that difficult, after all. In late 2014, the Wall Street Journal revealed the existence of a cell-phone monitoring program being operated by the U.S. Marshals Service using small planes. The program involved the Marshals using Cessna planes mounted with cell-site simulators, also known as Stingrays. (For more information check out this Guide to Stingray Technology.) The so-called Dirtboxes (DRT) are supposed to be used for criminal investigations, but the ACLU says they can collect data from tens of thousands of people on each flight. The Electronic Frontier Foundation filed a FOIA request with the Department of Justice and FBI but has yet to receive any additional information. The EFF has now filed suit against the DOJ and FBI. In early March of 2015, it was also revealed that the CIA has been working with the Marshals on the program. Over the last ten years, the U.S. Marshals Technical Operations Group worked with the CIAs Office of Technical Collection to develop the technology. The agencies have spent more than $1 million developing the technology. The Washington Post writes about another mass surveillance technique that uses aircraft. Known as Wide-Area Surveillance, it involves high-resolution cameras installed on planes to monitor entire cities. The Post writes: An unnamed government official told the Post that the flights were part of an operation being handled by the FBI at the request of local police. The official said the planes were using infrared cameras to monitor movements of people in the vicinity. Government officials denied using cell site simulators, or DRT boxes to monitor cell phone communications. Jay Stanley, Senior Policy Analyst with the ACLUs Speech, Privacy and Technology Project, says the authorities might not have been monitoring communications but rather, legitimately looking for dangerous situations. Still, he cautions, We as a society are going to need to grapple with what kinds of rules are needed for such devices. We need to strike the right balance between the needs of law enforcement and the need to protect the privacy of individuals and prevent our country from becoming a surveillance society.

2	Trump Vows To Put The Christ Back In Christmas In the past few years, the phrase Merry Christmas has been demonized by liberal throughout the country. In an attempt to be politically correct, they argue that we should say Happy Holidays. GOP frontrunner Donald Trump wont have any of that nonsense. I go out of my way to use the word Christmas, Trump said in an interview with Yellowhammer Radio. Theres an assault on anything having to do with Christianity. They dont want to use the word Christmas anymore at department stores. Theres always lawsuits and unfortunately a lot of those lawsuits are won by the other side. I will assault that, Trump concluded. I will go so strongly against so many things, when they take away the word Christmas. Listen to the interview below and tell us what you think. 
1	STAGE 6Saying the slightly raised, throbbing red patch of skin has been bothering him for quite some time, local video game boss Overlord told reporters Wednesday he was thinking he should get the big glowing weak spot on his back checked out. I was hoping the spot would eventually just go away, but recently it started flashing white when anything touches it, said Overlord, adding that whenever the radiant area is aggravated, he becomes paralyzed for several seconds, during which time he cannot retract his segmented limbs or move the projectile-spitting skull-faces at the end of his appendages. I thought trying to move up and down in a fixed cycle would help, but it turns out that just makes it worse. If it doesnt go away in a couple days, Im definitely going to the doctor. Im getting worried about how often I vomit armor-plated slugs. Overlord added that his habit of staying inside a dark, musty cave made of bones all day probably wasnt doing his health any favors, either. 
2	CNN Host Fareed Zakai Calls For Jihad Rape Of White Women According to recent reports, CNN host of Foreign Affairs Fareed Zakaria is facing serious backlash after calling for the rape of white females by Islamic minority groups. This call to action came shortly after gloating about the rise in premature deaths of white males in an article he wrote for The Washington Post. The white race is rightfully failing because it is a foolish, arrogant, and self-absorbed ethnicity that has racism infused into its very genes, Zakaria wrote. While the sharp incline of the death rate of white males is a good start, the solution to the white question will not be reached until there is a sharp decline in the population of white females as well. Much more needs to be done in this regard if this country is ever to advance from its ignorant backwardness towards being an inhabitable nation. Thankfully, the Prophet Muhammad has given us a foolproof way to speed up the decline of a vanquished nation by treating their women as our sex slaves, he continued. They may try and fight the unstoppable tide, but their resistance will grow only weaker as the white race loses its ability to keep its head above water. We may yet see some final convulsions before white Middle America is decreased to a manageable number where it can be more easily controlled, Zakaria concluded. The blog post was taken down within hours, after Zakaria received almost immediate backlash. Still, CNN officials have done nothing to punish him for his actions. What do you think? Should CNN fire Zakaria for his outrageous views? 
2	Obama Bans 89 Year Old Veteran From Returning To The U.S. To See His Son According to recent reports, a World War II veteran was recently denied reentry into the United States after overstaying his 90-day visa. 89-year-old John Oliver lives alone in an assisted living facility in the U.K. He applied for a green card in hopes of reconnecting with his son Robert and his fiance in the U.S. His green card application was denied, due to Oliver overstaying his leave when he was with his dying wife. His wife was put into hospice care and John made the decision to stay by her side, even if that meant violating his 90-day limit. As soon as Betty die, John headed back to the U.K., but the damage had already been done. John is currently banned from entering the United States for 10 years. Meanwhile, Obama plans to bring 100,000 Syrian refugees into our country. Is there something seriously wrong with this picture? 
3	Riots and Labor Strikes Rock GreeceLate last night the Greek government approved several austerity measures that include increased taxes and pension cuts. As a part of the agreement, they will receive a 900 million euro loan to temporarily shore up their economy, while they discuss the possibility of accepting a three-year, 85 billion euro loan. Contrary to previous claims that their banks may be closed for another month, the emergency loan will have banks opened by next week (or so they say anyway). In response, thousands of citizens took to the streets of Athens to protest the debate last night, many whom started to smash storefronts and burn cars. It was the first major riot to be reported since the Syriza government was elected, and police report that 50 people were arrested. Civil servants have since protested the agreement with a 24-hour strike that disrupted transportation, medical care, and other services across the country. Several government officials have also resigned over the agreement, and the Syriza party may be ousted in the next election. (See how the financial crisis could cause a civil war in Greece).

1	Though they were written off at the beginning of the season, the underdog New York Yankees refuse to succumb to their obvious lack of money and talent and have managed to put together a six-game winning streak to remain in contention with the far superior Boston Red Sox. 'What you are seeing right now from the Yankees is pure heart, because honestly, that's all this team's really got,' said ESPN columnist Buster Olney, adding that the team's unwillingness to quit a battle that is basically unwinnable should serve as an inspiration. 'They have a shortstop who can barely field a ground ball, a pitcher who is close to 50, and catcher who has never really been that good at baseball. If they keep this up, we could be witnessing the makings of a modern-day miracle.' According to Olney, although the Yankees' recent success is a welcome change, their struggles should be an sign to Commissioner Bud Selig that revenue sharing in the major leagues is not working. 
1	After a three-year absence spent wallowing in guilt for killing several hundred Louisiana residents and leaving the city in shambles, Hurricane Katrina returned to New Orleans Tuesday to beg the Crescent City for forgiveness, destroying everything in its path and killing hundreds. 'I've had a long time to think about what I've done to you all, and I realize now that it was wrong,' Hurricane Katrina reportedly told residents. 'I knew I shouldn't have been coming in so fast, but I guess I didn't know my own strength. A lot of people have blamed the levees, but if I'm truly honest, I knew they wouldn't hold. It was stupid of me, and for that, I apologize.' 'Can you ever forgive me?' continued Hurricane Katrina, wiping out the city's electrical grid with its devastating force. According to witnesses, the extremely remorseful 120-mile-wide storm was initially sighted off the Louisiana coast nervously rotating in circles and emitting long sighs that reached 115 mph. After several abandoned attempts to head inland, Hurricane Katrina reportedly gained enough strength and confidence to journey to the center of New Orleans to deliver a statement acknowledging its shame. By this time, however, the catastrophic power of Hurricane Katrina's bumbling apology was too much for the barely repaired levees, which shattered before the storm could even begin enumerating its many regrets. The crestfallen weather system then lurched across the city, inadvertently overturning cars, ripping the roofs off of homes, and violently snapping the neck of every resident it attempted to hug. Upon finally recognizing the destruction it was causing after it demolished a nearby church, Hurricane Katrina attempted to help rebuild the flattened structure, only to have it repeatedly collapse, killing everyone inside. 'Oh, not again. I'm such a klutz,' said the hurricane, accidentally razing an entire block of the historic French Quarter as it nervously backed away from the church rubble it had swept into a pile. 'Sorry! Sorry, guys.' Sources confirmed that, in addition to making the heartfelt, impassioned apology, Hurricane Katrina expressed hope that it and the people of New Orleans could continue to work on their relationship and possibly one day become friends. 'Please don't run away,' said Hurricane Katrina, addressing residents fleeing from a press conference in the now destroyed Superdome. 'It's not what you think. I'm not here to hurt you. Oh, jeez. Don't blow away!' Despite delivering a disastrous 'practice apology' to the people of Cuba a day earlier, the hurricane said it felt compelled to speak to the citizens of New Orleans in person, rather than mailing a card or sending good friend Hurricane Rita to do the apologizing. 'I want people to look me right in the eye and know that I'm very sorry for what I've done.' Hurricane Katrina said. 'And for that. Oops, and that as well.' As a peace offering, Hurricane Katrina reportedly brought an oil tanker to give to the people of New Orleans. But after the screams had subsided and no one came forth to receive the 10,000-ton gift, the storm left the cargo ship in the middle of the highway 'in case anyone wants it later.' According to a poll of evacuees, while a minority of those surviving the hurricane's return visit say they believe the storm is truly sorry for what it has done, 60 percent believe the effort was too little too late, another 25 percent believe it will take more than just words to undo the damage, and the remaining 15 percent are missing or in critical condition. 'To be honest, I never thought I'd see Katrina again,' resident Tom Andrews said while clinging to a piece of driftwood in the floodwaters. 'I sort of wish it had stayed away. At this point, it's only making things worse.' Though the hurricane admitted the apology was not received nearly as well as expected, the cataclysmic weather event remains convinced that its upcoming visit to the poor people by the waterfront will go more smoothly. 'They'll accept me, I just know they will,' said Hurricane Katrina, adding that it also wanted to track down all the small children it displaced in 2005 to see how they have grown. 'Those people have been put through so much, I'm sure they'll understand.' Hurricane Katrina was last seen wandering off toward the Gulf of Mexico, mumbling something about coming back later to see how the city looks once everyone is done rebuilding.

1	The arrival of a royal-blue Global Armless Task Chair at Allstate Insurance Monday marked an extremely mundane 'dream come true' for human-resources aide Patty Keely. 'I so love my life,' said a giddy Keely, 31, without a shred of irony. 'I've been wanting a chair with wheels for so long, but I never thought [office manager] Don [Frissel] would get me one. Now my chair won't make that horrible scraping sound every time I stand up to file something. Yes!' Now that she has a new desk chair, Keely said she fantasizes about one day buying a Chevrolet Cavalier or visiting her cousin in Branson, MO. 
2	Colin Powell Was Just Caught Red Handed Doing This From Hillarys Hacked Emails According to recently released emails, former Secretary of State and retired four-star general Colin Powell called Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump a national disgrace and international pariah. He then went on to argue that Hillarys mafia was trying to drag him into the Clinton email scandal. Powell made the remarks about Trump this summer in an email to Emily Miller, a journalist who once worked under him as a deputy press secretary at the State Department. In the email, Powell argued that Trump was in the process of destroying himself, no need for the Dems to attack him. The email was released as part of a hack that was confirmed by an aide to Powell on Wednesday. Around 30,000 emails were given to DCLeaks.com by unnamed hackers, The Daily Caller reported. Some believe the hackers have ties to Russian intelligence services. In another email, Powell told Miller the whole birther movement was racist. Thats what the 99% believe, he wrote. When Trump couldnt keep that up he said he also wanted to see if the certificate noted that he was a Muslim. Powells emails also revealed his frustration with Clinton, and their attempt to pin the email scandal on him. The Clinton campaign has repeatedly cited Powells use of a private email in defending the nominee. The media isnt fooled and she is getting crucified, Powell commented in his emails. The differences are profound and they know it. Earlier this month, Rep. Elijah Cummings told a very different story when he released a 2009 email Powell sent to Clinton two days after she was sworn in as Secretary of State. Be very careful, Powell reportedly warned Clinton. I got around it all by not saying much and not using systems that captured the data. What do you think of Powells leaked emails? It looks like he is about to be targeted by Republicans and Democrats alike. 
1	Issuing a nationwide high alert and urging all Americans to be prepared for the worst, Department of Homeland Security acting Secretary Rand Beers announced today the serious and imminent threat of a possible new Eagles reunion album in the coming weeks or months. According to alarming chatter weve intercepted between Don Henley and Glenn Frey in recent days, the two songwriters may already be kicking a few ideas around and just riffing and seeing where it takes us, developments that traditionally suggest the high probability of another potential Eagles reunion album scenario in the near future, Beers told reporters, adding that the DHS has also received high-level intelligence verifying that known record producer Bill Szymczyk recently booked studio time at The Doghouse recording facility in Los Angeles. We are taking these threats very seriously and would like all citizens to be prepared for the possibility of a 70-minute new Eagles studio album, with a potential eight extra minutes of bonus cuts and acoustic live tracks. Experts say satellite imagery recently taken of Eagles agent/manager Irving Azoffs mansion in Beverly Hills indicates that, in addition to Henley and Frey, longtime bassist Timothy B. Schmidt is reportedly on standby and at the ready to record with the band, or possibly tour, with dire reports suggesting the 66-year-old musician may even share a songwriting credit on a forthcoming ballad entitled Desert Rose. While Beers reiterated that he was not at liberty to divulge certain details of the alleged eighth Eagles studio album, he was able to issue a clear warning that the possible record may feature strong country and soft-rock inflections, sun-dappled harmonies, some sort of long, allegorical track called Cruel Fortune or The End Times about sinful excess in the City of Angels or how weve ruined the environment or something, and one potentially disastrous attempt at hard rock with an extended slide guitar solo and lyrics about a hard livin mama with a mighty soft smile. Worse yet, department officials say, is the presence of an unknown number of Eagles fans already living and working inside the nations borders who would serve to support such an action on the part of the band. Should another Eagles albumor even, God forbid, a double albumbe released to the public at large, it could potentially affect millions of Americans, and the devastation would easily rival the 2007 Wal-Mart exclusive release of Long Road Out Of Eden and the 1994 live comeback album Hell Freezes Over, the previous two occasions on which the band has struck, Secretary Beers said. At this juncture, we can only advise the American people to be aware of a heightened risk. In the meantime, we will continue to monitor all available sources for any recent signs of a smug Glenn Frey interview with CNNs Piers Morgan about how the band may just have enough bullets left for one last showdown before we hang up our spurs. At press time, DHS officials noted that the only potentially reassuring news concerning the planned Eagles reunion album is that lead guitarist Joe Walsh would almost certainly be involved. 
2	Jill Stein Learns Her Fate After Demanding Recount... Ever since Donald Trump broke the hearts of liberals by winning the presidential election, Green Party candidate Jill Stein has been raising money in an attempt to keep him out of the White House. Stein used this money to demand a recount in the states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. This week, Hillary Clinton offered her support in the efforts. Unfortunately for all those who invested, Stein overlooked the fact that she must actually prove that voter fraud was probable.

3	Minnesota Law Bans Cancer-Causing Formaldehyde in Childrens Products, Stays in VaccinesJeffry John Aufderheide According to section 325F.175 of HF458, products containing formaldehyde are banned from being sold starting August 1st, 2014, for manufacturers and August 1st, 2015, for retailers. [1] Finally, an answer to one of the many toxic ingredients being injected into your child? Not so fast. At first blush, it appears Minnesota is addressing at least one of the many toxic chemicals found in vaccines. However, a carefully crafted paragraph creates a loophole for excluding vaccines from this ban. The Pharmaceutical Loophole So, how is formaldehyde banned in toys and clothes but permitted to still be in vaccines? The new Minnesota state law exempts vaccines through this passage in a section entitled [325F.174] DEFINITIONS. It reads: (c) Childrens product means a product primarily designed or intended by a manufacturer to be physically applied to or introduced into a childs body, including any article used as a component of such a product and excluding a food, beverage, dietary supplement, pharmaceutical product or biologic, childrens toys that are covered by the ASTM International F963 standard for Toy Safety, or a medical device as defined in the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, United States Code, title 21, section 321(h), as amended through February 15, 2013. [1] (emphasis mine) You may be asking, Why is there formaldehyde in vaccines? The very short answer is this chemical has been used for over half a century in the vaccine manufacturing process. It was originally used as an attempt to inactivate the poliovirus in the first vaccines produced by Jonas Salk in the late 1940s and early 1950s. [2] Formaldehyde did not inactivate all viruses in the vaccine. Do more research on the polio vaccine contamination with the cancer causing monkey virus, SV40. To see how many vaccines contain this cancer-causing chemical today, lets take a look at the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia website. The formaldehyde content of vaccines licensed for use in the United States (quantity per dose converted from mg to mcg): [3] Trade Name / Quantity (per dose) Get a closer look at the vaccine schedule to see how much formaldehyde will be injected into your child. What Do The Experts Say? There seem to be conflicting views as to how safe formaldehyde really is. On the one hand, research on the Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) website cautions us by saying, Formaldehyde can damage cells by binding to DNA and thereby forming formaldehyde-DNA adducts; this process may interfere with accurate DNA replication and lead to mutations and cancerous tumors. [4] (emphasis mine) This should be extremely concerning for you because within every vaccine product insert is the following passage: This vaccine has not been evaluated for its carcinogenic [cancer-causing] or mutagenic potentials or impairment of fertility. Personally, I take this as a very serious warning, especially since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would be the ones making this evaluation. The other side of the argument made by the FDA justifies formaldehyde in vaccines by stating, The amount of formaldehyde present in some infant vaccines is so small compared to the concentration that occurs naturally in the body that it does not pose a safety concern, according to a study using a mathematical model developed by scientists at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). [5] (emphasis mine) Did you catch it? Please remember this point: The assumption being made is based on a mathematical model. FDA experts should be ready to meet higher standards, in my opinion. Maybe that is why the FDA plays hot potato when answering the question? Here are 7 basic questions I think parents should be asking at this point: Here is the fatal flaw. The pharmaceutical literature cautions arrogant scientists from making large assumptions with harmless ingredients and children. Pharmaceutical products may contain, in addition to the active or therapeutic agent(s), a variety of other ingredients, termed inactive or inert, which are categorized as excipients or additives (flavorings, sweeteners, preservatives, stabilizers, diluents, lubricants, etc.). The words inert or inactive may be misnomers for some excipients because some have been shown to cause adverse effects. Neonates and young children are at risk for such effects because they may not be able to metabolize or eliminate an ingredient in a pharmaceutical product in the same manner as an adult. (pp. 344) (emphasis mine) Swarbrick, James and Boylan, James C. Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Technology. Vol. 11. 1995. New York: Marcel Dekker, Inc. Are you sure there isnt a hidden agenda? Get the full list of vaccine ingredients being injected into your child right now by clicking on this link. If legislatures are concerned with your children wearing clothes or playing with toys containing formaldehyde, why give pharmaceutical products that are injected a free pass? At the end of the day, government officials do not know your childs name or face. They care about keeping their jobs and making sure they uphold the policies put in place. The simple truth is this: Vaccine manufacturers are protected by law if your child suffers from an adverse reaction. Lastly, as a starting reference point, I recommend you read an older but brutally honest review of what happens when formaldehyde is injected into animals by Martin H. Fischer entitled The Toxic Effects of Formaldehyde and Formalin.

3	European Banks Have Their Worst Two Day Stretch EVER As The Global Financial Crisis IntensifiesBy Michael Snyder But of course the biggest news on Monday was what happened to European banks. The Brexit vote has caused financial carnage for those institutions unlike anything that we have ever seen before. Just check out this chart from Zero Hedge I knew that things would be bad if the UK voted to leave the European Union, but I didnt know that they would be this bad. Prior to all of this, a whole bunch of too big to fail banks all over Europe were already in the process of imploding, and now this chaotic financial environment may push several of them into full-blown collapse mode simultaneously. Just consider the following commentaryfrom Wolf Richter These bank stocks got crushed on Friday. And they got crushed again today. Italian banks have been reduced to penny stocks. Spanish banks are getting closer. Commerzbank, Germanys second largest bank, and still partially owned by the German government as a consequence of the last bailout, is well on the way. One institution that I have been warning about for months is German banking giant Deutsche Bank. On Monday, their stock fell another 5.77 percent to a fresh all-time closing low of 13.87. I have been convinced that Deutsche Bank is going to zero for a long time, but these days it seems in quite a hurry to get there. Of course Deutsche Bank is far from alone. The following are other too big to fail European banks that have lost at least one-fifth of their value over the past two trading days This is what a full-blown financial crisis looks like, and U.S. bankshave been getting hit very hard, too The Brexit contagion is spreading as USD liquidity and counterparty risk in the interconnected global financial system has reached US banks with Goldman at 3 year lows and BofA and Citi plunging over 12%. This happens just two days after the Fed released its latest stress test results finding that none of the 33 banks tested would need additional capital in case of a severe financial crisis. That conclusion may be tested soon. Meanwhile, the British pound continues to get absolutely pummeled. As I write this, the GBP/USD is down to 1.32, and some are now warning that the British pound may hit parity with the U.S. dollar by the end of the year. One of the reasons why I expect the British pound to continue to tumble is because the global elite have to show the British people that they made the wrong decision, and they need to scare off any other countries that would consider holding similar votes. So it was no surprise that the elite had two of their major credit rating agenciesdowngrade the UK on Monday Two major rating agencies downgraded the United Kingdoms credit rating on Monday. SP Global Ratings lowered the UK to AA from AAA, with a negative outlook. And, Fitch cut its rating to AA from AA+, with a negative outlook as well. And as I mentioned yesterday,Bank of America and Goldman Sachs have already projected that the UK economy is heading into recession. As much economic and financial pain as possible will be inflicted upon the British people, and meanwhile they will be bombarded by mainstream news stories telling them that they made a stupid decision. Hopefully the British people will stand strong and will not give in to the pressure. But of course it isnt just the British people that will be feeling the pain. The Brexit vote has sent shockwaves all over the planet, and global investors are losing tremendous amounts of money. For instance, here in the United States approximately 1.3 trillion dollars of stock market wealth has been wiped out so far Brexit isnt just a European problem after all. The United Kingdoms decision to quit the European Union is costing U.S. investors a pretty penny. U.S.-based companies in the broad Russell 3000, including online advertising company Alphabet (GOOGL), software maker Microsoft (MSFT) and global bank JPMorgan Chase (JPM), have suffered a collective loss of $1.3 trillion since Fridays shocker from the United Kingdom, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from SP Global Market Intelligence. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. It is very rare for global financial markets to crash for three days in a row, but it could happen. More likely, however, is that we will see some kind of temporary bounce as long as some really negative event doesnt hit the news. But let there be no doubt about what has just happened. The collapse of Lehman Brothers was the trigger event that really accelerated the crisis of 2008, and now it appears as though the Brexit vote will be the trigger event that greatly accelerates the crisis of 2016. Global investors had already lost trillions over the past 12 months, and a full-blown financial implosion was going to happen no matter how the vote turned out, but thanks to British voters the fun and games have arrived early. Unfortunately, only a very small fraction of the population understands just how bad things are going to get in the months ahead 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. The finacial markets are taking a hit along with the zentral (zionists controlled) banks. The entire fractal zentral banking system the world over collapses. Start a more humane money system without usury. Along with the collapse a thousand years of peace. 
3	Google Glass privacy concerns continue to be raised, this time by CongressMadison Ruppert Since the technology was introduced, Google Glass has been incredibly controversial, even leading former Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff to speak out against the technology. Many venues have preemptively banned Glass including a Seattle bar, casinos and strip clubs in Las Vegas and the entire state of West Virginia is trying to ban wearing Glass while driving, according to the Independent. Respect our customers privacy as wed expect them to respect yours, stated Seattles Five Point Caf, becoming the first to ban Glass, according to Reuters. Some movie theaters may also join the trend. Yet Google figures have been quick to dismiss any and all concerns. Criticisms are inevitably from people who are afraid of change or who have not figured out that there will be an adaptation of society to it, Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt said during a talk at Harvard Universitys Kennedy School of Government in April. Never mind the fact that Glass can easily be hacked and turned into a pervasive surveillance device. Thats just being afraid of change. One of the questions posed by members of Congress in their letter concerned facial recognition capabilities. However, most readers are likely aware of the fact that the technology could indeed be rolled out silently or indeed built into the device without Google admitting it. After all, were talking about the same company that knowingly stole private data from unsecured wireless networks with their Street View cars. Even though Google was clearly guilty of massive invasions of privacy on a scale previously unimaginable, the FCC cleared the company of wrongdoing and contradicted a federal judge in doing so. In March of this year, a report indicated that Google was going to pay $7 million to 30 states to settle an investigation into their Wi-Fi spying but such a sum for Google is nothing. When Google can get out of an antitrust probe and investigations into theft of highly personal data with less than a slap on the wrist, why would we trust them to be honest about Glass? Privacy and Google simply dont mix. Google and the U.S. government, however, mix quite well. The members of Congress point to Googles horrific privacy track record and ask, we would like to know how Google plans to prevent Google Glass from unintentionally collecting data about the user/non-user without consent? Some of the many other important questions asked include: We request your responses to the above questions no later than Friday, June 14, 2013, the members of Congress stated. At a Google Glass event at the Google I/O conference, some of the questions were indirectly addressed. Privacy was top of mind as we designed the product, Steve Lee, the product director for Glass, said. Youll know when someone with Glass is paying attention to you. If youre looking at Glass, youre looking up, Lee said, referring to the fact that the Glass display located right above the eye, according to ABC News. We are thinking very carefully about how we design Glass because new technology always raises new issues, Google said in a statement. Our Glass Explorer program, which reaches people from all walks of life, will ensure that our users become active participants in shaping the future of this technology. The future of the technology may not be all that bright. There are state wiretap laws that require consent of a user before they are recorded. Users may violate state wiretap laws while using Glass, Brad Shear, a Washington-area attorney and blogger, told ABC news. It will be interesting to see if the members of Congress will publish Googles specific answers to their probing and quite appropriate questions and concerns. How the story actually put anyone in danger, even if the AP is lying about getting the story cleared by the government, is unclear.

2	Obama Attacks Korie Robertson After She SLAMS Him On Live TV [VIDEO] Duck Dynasty star Korie Robertson made headlines this week when she made controversial comments about Barack Obamas lack of dedication to his faith. Weve turned away from God, commented Robertson. Weve said to God, basically, No thank you. I think we know better. And its showing in the way that our young people are growing up and the respect that our young people have for authority, and the way that people are acting towards each other. She went on to criticize todays politicians, claiming that weve excused [them] for way too long. Weve not held them up to be people of character, people of good values, people wed want our children to be, she argued. I dont think they really have handled faith. I think that theyve shied away from it and I think that we are seeing the results of that. When we shy awaywhen we turn away from Godwe do see the results of that. Finally, Robertson concluded that it is time for us to have a president who loves God and honors him and has the values that he tell us [are] right. What do you think? Do you agree with Robertson? 
3	A Quadrillion Yen And Counting The Japanese Debt Bomb Could Set Off Global Panic At Any MomentMichael Snyder Realistically, there are only two ways out of this overwhelming debt trap for the Japanese. Either they default or they try to inflate the debt away. At this point, the Japanese have chosen to try to inflate the debt away. They have initiated the greatest quantitative easing experiment that a major industrialized nation has attempted since the days of the Weimar Republic. Over the next two years, the Bank of Japan plans to zap60 trillion yen into existence out of thin air and use it to buy government bonds. By the time this program is over, the monetary base in Japan will have approximately doubled. But authorities in Japan are desperate. They know that the Japanese debt bomb could set off global panic at any time, and they are trying to find a way out that will not cause too much pain. Unfortunately, the only way that this bizarre quantitative easing program will work is if investors in Japanese bonds act very, very irrationally. You see, the only way that Japan has been able to pile up this much debt in the first place is because they have been able to borrow gigantic piles of money at super low interest rates. Right now, the yield on 10-year Japanese bonds is sitting at an absurdly low 0.76%. But even with such ridiculously low interest rates, the central government of Japan is still spending about half of all tax revenue on debt service. But now that the Japanese government has announced that it plans to double the monetary base, it would be extremely irrational for investors not to demand higher rates on Japanese government debt. After all, why would you want to loan money to the Japanese government for less than one percent a year when the purchasing power of your money could potentially be halved over the next two years? Amazingly, this is exactly what the Japanese government is counting on. They are counting on being able to wildly print up money and monetize debt, but also keep yields on Japanese bonds at insanely low levels at the same time. For the moment, it is actually working. Investors in Japanese bonds are behaving very, very irrationally. But if that changes at some point, we could potentially be looking at the greatest Asian economic crisis of all time. And there are some very sharp minds out there that believe that is exactly what is going to happen. For example, the founder of Hayman Capital Management, Kyle Bass, has been sounding the alarm about Japan for a long time. He correctly predicted the subprime mortgage meltdown, and in the process he made hundreds of millions of dollars for his clients. Now he believes that the next major crash is going to be in Japan. According to Bass, the bond bubble in Japan is so large that once it begins to implode fear is going to start spreading like wildfire Remember, Japanese banks in general have 900% of their tangible assets invested in JGBs that are the most negatively convex instrument you can put into a portfolio. Assume for instance that a bank holds a 10 year bond yielding 80 basis points. A 100 basis point move will cost the JGB investor about 10 years of expected interest payments. Think about the psychology of all the players and financial implications if rates do move 100 basis points. Think about the solvency of a nation which currently spends 50% of its central government tax revenues on debt service, half of which earns the lowest yields of any country in the world. You cant look at this as a simple question. You need to think about this as a multivariate equation. You have to think about the incentives and the fears of all the participants. And you need to think about the fiscal sustainability of the government. If rates even rise by a full percentage point, it could start a stampede toward the exits that nobody in the entire world would be able to control I ran a survey of 1,009 Japanese investors where we asked: If rates were to move up 100 basis points, would that engender more confidence and make you want to buy more JGBs? or, Would you take your money elsewhere, even if it were hamstringing your governments ability to operate? 8 9% of respondents that said that they would buy more bonds and almost 80% said they would run, not walk the other way. For much more on this, you can watch a video of Kyle Bass discussing why Japan is doomed right here. And of course Japan is not the only debt bomb that could potentially go off over in Asia. As I mentioned in another article, the major problem over in China is the level of private debt In China, the big problem is the absolutely stunning growth of private domestic debt. According to a recent World Bank report, the total amount of credit in China has risen from 9 trillion dollars in 2008 to 23 trillion dollars today. That increase is roughly equivalent to the entire U.S. commercial banking system. There is simply way, way too much debt in our world today. Never before has there been so much red ink all over the planet at the same time. Many in the mainstream media insist that this party can go on indefinitely. But that is what they said about the housing bubble too. Sadly, the truth is that every financial bubble eventually bursts, and this global debt bubble will be no exception. I hope that you are getting prepared while you still can. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

2	Norway Is Offering Money To Send Muslims Back To Their Country Of Origin This is just absurd. According to reports from the U.K. Independent, Norway has just started offering refugees thousands of dollars to convince them to voluntarily go back home. While this seems outlandish, Katinka Hartmann, the head of the immigration departments return unit, confirms that there are already incentives in place. Hartmann claims that the asylum process already takes months or years to undergo, and family is a huge draw to return. They thought they would have the opportunity to work or take an educationand maybe even to get their family to Norway, Hartmann told reporters. Many cannot wait (for the asylum process to run its course). They have family at home who expect them to be able to help. This policy makes no sense whatsoever, but it does speak to the desperation that is being felt through the world. This should be a sign to Obama. Europe is in a refugee crisis, and America isnt far behind. 
2	BREAKING: Massive Development In Trump Inauguration Drops... This Is Will Be One For The Books Thanks to an extraordinarily liberal entertainment industry, Donald Trumps team has had a difficult time convincing any singers to perform at his inauguration. Many believed that doing so would put their careers at risk. Fortunately, music legend Marie Osmond came to the president-elects defense this weeksaying she would perform at the inauguration if she was asked to. Marie and Donny has, in fact, performed at multiple inaugurations in the past, including Ronald Reagans in 1981. Marie said the famous sibling duo would be happy to do so again. I think when it comes to our country we need to unite, she told Yahoo Finance. I think we should all support our president, whether were happy or sad. This is America. Marie then noted that her eight children are all over the political spectrum, but she ensures they never feel divided based on their political views. I think an inauguration should be a time to unite, it really should, she added. Maries comments came shortly after singer Rebecca Ferguson pulled out of the January 20th event, citing disagreements with the Trump team over song choices. At this point, Jackie Evancho and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir are the only vocal acts that have been confirmed for the inauguration. They will be joined by the Rockettes as well as the Talladega Marching Tornadoes. In contrast, Barack Obama has seduced liberals in Hollywood with his many parties. He secured music legends like Aretha Franklin and Bruce Springsteen at his inaugurations. We applaud Marie Osmond for taking a stand and supporting our next president. He deserves our respect. Do you agree? 
2	Obama Creates His Own New Holiday... Demands American Parents Celebrate THIS President Obama likes to claim that he is a Christian. In reality, he seems to be set on stripping Christians of any form of religious expression. He is too concerned with being politically correct to honor traditional American values. Now, Obamas Department of Education has just ordered that American schools dedicate a week to learning about illegal immigrants. The Conservative Tribune reported that the White House just released a document claiming that they should do what they can to make illegal immigrant children feel more welcome. Included in the suggestions was the idea of Undocumented Week. The document then went on to claim that 65,000 illegal immigrants graduate from American high schools each year. While the stat was meant to encourage participation in the program, it has outraged many. Guess who is paying for the education of these students and families? Meanwhile, American students are being asked to sacrifice Christmas and Halloween. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous? 
1	Despite the sense of importance virtually all people place on the details of their day-to-day lives, a new report out this week from the Pew Research Center found that only three in every 10 million things that happen actually matter. For example, in the entire 20th century, the only events that really made any difference of any kind were the Holocaust, the invention of the atom bomb, civil rights, and at most one or two other things, the report read in part. Meanwhile, our research found that how much caffeine you drink, your kids soccer game, what time the supermarket closes, where you go on vacation, weekend box-office returns, who shot JFK, and your taste in design do not matter in any way, regardless of your level of interest in them. In fact, the last thing that actually mattered at all was 9/11. Pressed for comment, Pew researchers acknowledged that their new report was not among the .00003 percent of things that matter. 
2	According To Obama If You Are A Man, And You Dont Vote For Hillary, You Are A Sexist In an infuriating speech, President Barack Obama actually tried to convince his audience that the people who dont like Hillary Clinton are sexist. Hillary has been employing this strategy for some time now, accusing Republicans of having divisive politics. But were hard-pressed to think of anything more divisive than asserting that anyone who disagrees with your political opinion is sexist. To the guys out there, I want to be honest, you know theres a reason why there hasnt been a woman president before, Obama began. I want every man out there whos voting to kind of look inside yourself and ask yourselfif youre having problems with this stuff, how much of it is that were just not used to it? he questioned. When men are ambitious, its just taken for granted, he concluded. Well, of course, they should be ambitious. When women are ambitious, Why? That theme, I think, will continue throughout her presidency, and its contributed to this notion that somehow she is hiding something. Only Obama would be clueless enough to ignore the fact that many people dont like Clinton because she has proven herself to be a compulsive liar and criminal. What do you think of Obamas comments? Are you ready to have him out of the White House once and for all? 
2	Major News Organization: We Have Absolute Proof Obama Indonesian Citizen And Registered Muslim Recently, a former college classmate of Barack Obama wrote a column saying The Obama Scandal is at Columbia, claims that he recently received a call from a reporter with absolute proof that Obama became an Indonesian citizen. Rumors of the citizenship have been circulating since 2008, after a school record showing that Obama attended school in Indonesia and registered as a Muslim first appeared. A blog appeared on An American Expat that documented that Obama was registered January 1, 1968, under the name Barry Soetoro. Soetoro was listed as being born in Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4, 1961. According to Wayne Allyn Root, he received a call from an investigative reporter from Breitbart.com asking about Obamas past and for more evidence on the incident. Root claims that the reporter has absolute proof that Obama was adopted by his mothers husband and became an Indonesian citizen at some point. School documents allegedly recorded Barrys father as L. Soetoro Ma, and a worker in the director generals office in the TNI Topography division of the Indonesian army. In 2008, it was reported that Obamas attendance to the school had been revealed through a photograph taken by Tatan Syuflana, and Indonesian AP reporter and photographer. The photo showed Obamas registration card, which was confirmed authentic. At the time, a major media investigation should have taken place. At the time Obama was allegedly registered, Indonesian law required instruction in Islam. It was mandatory in all Indonesian educational institutions, and all students were required to take four lessons a week, elevating the study of the religion to the most important subject in the school curriculum. In an interview with New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, Obama was questioned about his Islamic education. During the interview, Obama admitted that he once got in trouble for making faces during Quran study classes in his elementary school in Indonesia. He then went on to recite the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer. There was also an Indonesian citizenship law in effect when Obama was there, which claims that a child who is under 5 years of age and who is adopted by a citizen, acquires citizenship themselves. What do you think? Does Obamas past need to be investigated NOW? 
1	Local man and casual baseball fan Leon Markham confirmed to reporters Wednesday that he has definitely heard the name of baseball player Andre Ethier. 'Andrew Ethier, yeah. Shortstop for the Phillies, right?' Markham said of the Dodgers outfielder. 'He's good at hitting. Or maybe he's known for his defense? He's fast, I think. Sounds fast. You know, I might actually be thinking of Rafael Furcal.' Markham then imitated a batting stance and asked reporters, 'Which one is the guy that does this?' 
1	NEW YORKSkier Bode Miller, the outspoken defending World Cup champion and American gold-medal favorite who was quoted on 60 Minutes as saying that skiing drunk was not easy, expanded on those statements in a press conference Wednesday. 'When theres as much powder up your nose as there is under your skis, those slalom gates come at you a lot quicker than one every secondbut with enough Vicodin, you really dont care if you catch one across your nose,' said Miller, who laughed and made skiing motions with his hands as he delivered his rapid-fire 20-minute, four-sentence-long statement. 'And let me tell you, its even worse when the acid makes it seem like the gates are all laughing at you with a million tiny mouths.' Miller added that the sensory distortion of powerful drug cocktails were often ameliorated by skiing with a nude woman 'positioned on your shoulders so as to block your view, if you know what I mean,' but that he preferred lighter, more supple underage women for that purpose. 
1	Trailing in the final seconds of last Sunday's game against New England, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, 30, stunned the Patriots by throwing a big-boy touchdown to clinch a victory. 'I did it! I did it!' a jubilant Manning said after the win, adding several times that he threw the big-boy touchdown all by himself 'without help from anybody in the whole wide world.' 'Did you see me? Did you see me throw the ball to my friend in the touchdown?'

2	BREAKING: Doctors Reveal What Obama Has Been Hiding About His Health According to recent reports, President Obama is showing signs that he could be hiding a serious illness. In 2008, President Obama refused to release his medical records during the election processsomething that many candidates have willingly done in the past. Instead, he released a one-page letter from his family doctor. Reports indicate that Obama could be refusing the release because he doesnt want the American public to have knowledge of the impacts his long-term smoking have had on his health. Others speculate that he could also be hiding previous drug abuse. One thing we know for sure is that Obama has had several hospital visits while in office. Other signs of an illness include serious weight fluctuation and rapid aging. What do you think? Does Obama continue to hide the facts from the American public? 
1	Concluding it was the best way to ensure she remains comfortable during her twilight years, the British Royal Family recently placed Queen Elizabeth II into a local nursing home, sources confirmed Wednesday. Members of the Royal Family are in agreement that they simply do not have the time or resources to personally provide Her Majesty with the type of constant care she needs and deserves at this point, said a Buckingham Palace spokesman, adding that the family had selected a facility within the city of London in order to make monthly visits from her children and grandchildren feasible. The Queen has never wanted to be a burden, and with this arrangement she will be surrounded by others at a similar stage in their lives. While the accommodations are perhaps not what she is accustomed to, she will no doubt enjoy the many organized activities, such as movie night and occasional excursions to the shopping mall. At press time, Prince Charles was assuring his irate mother that she would be put in a private room as soon as one was available. 
2	Jessie Jackson Gets Hit Hard With Truth Brick After Making The Most Ridiculous Demand To The White House Ever The Reverend Jesse Jackson has a reputation for agitating the public and strengthening to divide between our citizens. Now, hes getting involved in our countrys political affairs. Jackson just made the shocking demand for President Barack Obama to pardon Hillary Clinton before he leaves office and turns the presidency over to Donald Trump. This is a shocking request, given that that FBI called Clintons handling of private information careless. Secretary Clinton has not been legally accused, indicted, tried or convicted of anything, Jackson argued. President Obama should follow President Fords example and offer a preemptive full pardon. Jackson then went on to claim that students are growing up in an America that is in an identity crisis. These demonstrations are born out of fear. Fear that the Klan will ride again. Fear that violence (against minorities) is coming back. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. FOX Friends (@foxandfriends) November 17, 2016 
1	On the heels of eliminating the United Kingdom in their highly anticipated Tuesday afternoon matchup, Italy has joined Japan to become the first two nations in the G8 Finals, sources confirmed. Italy certainly looked nervy in their opener, but they shook off the rust and managed to bounce back and advance at Frances expense, said G8 analyst Nicolas Vermijl, adding that the Italians havent been to the final round since the 2006 summit in St. Petersburg. The biggest surprise thus far is undoubtedly Japan, though. Nobody expected them to get this far, but they came in hot and rode that momentum all the way to the final, upsetting clear favorites Russia and last years winners, Germany. They could very well go the distance. Vermijl also noted that the United States had another disappointing showing at the G8, having been knocked out during the group stage for the third year running. 
2	Obama Is Livid After Council of Foreign Relations Takes HUGE Stand Him Richard Haas is the president of the council on Foreign Relations. On Monday, he made an announcement saying that they have heard and talked about the rumors circulating about Obama. The New York Times claimed that Obama had fabricated intel on the Islamic State. He has announced that they are investigating the situation, and will crack down on Obama with full force when they find the truth. Haas said, The principle requirement of intelligence analysts is to speak truth to power. Its not to make them comfortable, its to make them smart and aware. Haas also cracked down on Obama for his weak stance against ISIS. Do you agree that Obama is incapable of handling ISIS? 
3	Brexit: Global Trigger Event, Fake Out Or Something Else?By Brandon Smith I would point out that under normal global economic conditions, the Brexit really shouldnt matter much to anyone outside of the U.K. If the EU was fiscally stable, if its banks were solvent and its national debts well in hand, if the EU was actually a practical and successful supranational body, then the damage done by a British vote to leave the union would be minimal. Of course, this is not the case. As many other independent economic analysts and I have been outlining for years, the European Union is on the verge of economic breakdown. Look at it this way if financial turmoil in a tiny member state like Greece can cause widespread doubts about the EUs stability, then there is something fundamentally volatile about the entire structure. The Brexit matters greatly to the future of the EU because, theoretically, if one of its most prominent members says adios, then other members may do the same. As it stands now, the EU cannot afford to have even one member, economically large or small, drop out of the system. The Brexit matters to the rest of the world including the U.S. because of the brilliantly-destructive program of interdependency and globalism that has shaped our financial house for decades. Interdependency leads to extreme economic weakness because no piece of the global system has the tools to survive without the other pieces; and on top of this, when one part of the machine goes down, ALL the other parts are affected. It is a truly horrible and seemingly idiotic system; but not so idiotic if you accept the reality that it is deliberately engineered to fail. When you examine the fiscal foundations of every major economy in the world today, what you find is a financial shell game. The fundamentals tell us the truth; with global exports and imports in decline, global shipping of raw materials in decline, manufacturing in decline, retail in decline, employment in decline, real unemployment numbers including those people no longer counted by the Labor Department skyrocketing and the number of people on welfare and food stamps skyrocketing. In reality, the global economy is one massive thin-skinned bubble searching for a sharp object to impale itself on. The Brexit may very well be that sharp object. Before I go into the various details surrounding Thursdays vote, I want to state that I am in full support of the British movement to leave the European Union. The reasoning behind a successful Brexit is solid. The European Unions rabid socialist tendencies have created a doom scenario for all those shackled to the supranational body. Forced multiculturalism and cultural Marxism has opened a floodgate of Islamic refugees which hold ideological beliefs completely incompatible with Western principles and heritage while at the same time introducing a massive vampiric drain on the prevailing social welfare systems. The EUs governing body is a mostly faceless and unaccountable bureaucracy that hands down legal dictates from on high while the general population of the member states have little or no input. The European Central Banks monetary policies support failed financial institutions and fraudulent markets while siphoning tax dollars from stronger and more successful nations in order to feed the debt addictions of weaker countries. The very philosophical engine behind the EU is one of collectivism; it is a system that requires a hive mentality in order to function. Only a fool would WANT to participate in such a political and financial farce. That said, I think we need to take stock of certain underlying realities. First, as mentioned earlier, the EU, like most other economies today, is an interdependent structure and is thus designed to fail. The EU is not the golden goose for globalists, it is just another appendage that can be sacrificed or rearranged in order to achieve greater goals. The EU is a means to an end, it is not the ultimate prize. The ultimate prize for globalists would be a system like the EU with a single currency and a single monetary authority, but this new system would erase all sovereign borders and install a single governmental authority as well. What does this mean? It means that the failure of the EU does not necessarily mean a failure for the internationalists. For groups of globalists that promote an ideology of Fabian Socialism, a breakdown of the EU, whether partial or total, can be used as leverage for a larger and more centralized global power structure in the long term. Mark my words, when the system comes crashing down (whether after the Brexit or after another trigger event), internationalists will say that the EU failed not because it was centralized, but because it was not centralized ENOUGH. Even though I support the Brexit movement based on the principle that supranational unions are a heinous affliction upon free individuals and nations, I have no illusions that a successful Brexit vote will actually harm the globalists. In fact, they may very well desire the U.K. to leave the EU. Why? As noted, the global economy is on the verge of implosion. The ONLY elements of the system that are not yet crashing are stock markets. This is because stock markets do not in any way reflect the fundamentals of the economy, they only reflect investor perceptions of the economy. Perceptions can be manipulated for a time, and public psychology can be subdued by false optimism and lies. It can take years for a population to psychologically accept the idea that they are in the midst of a recession or depression. Therefore, it can take years for stock markets to finally reflect the legitimate dangers within the economy. Central banks at the behest of globalist institutions like the International Monetary Fund and the Bank For International Settlements have spent incredible amounts of capital and energy managing public perception. Through subversive monetary policies, they have weakened national economies to the point of collapse, and this collapse is meant to create enough chaos to inspire the masses through fear to support greater centralization. While certain banking institutions may fall, the bankers themselves have no intention of taking any blame for this collapse. If you examine modern history (the past century), you will find in the aftermath of every crisis that globalist organizations have consistently blamed nationalism and sovereignty while promoting socialism and centralization as the most civilized solution. That is to say, globalists create widespread war and financial terror, blame conservative ideals such as sovereignty, then argue that such ideals must be eradicated for the greater good of the greater number. We have to be honest in our exploration of the Brexit event and admit that in this case the globalists win either way. If the Brexit succeeds, the globalists can allow the market systems they have been inflating for years to finally crash. They can then then blame those dastardly far-Right extremists in the U.K. for triggering a domino effect within the global financial system, conveniently scapegoating British conservatives, moderates and sovereigns for a breakdown that was going to happen eventually anyway. Their solution will once again be to argue for the end of barbaric conservative principles and install complete centralization and socialism as the cure. If the Brexit fails, or if it is a controlled fake out, they can artificially boost markets for perhaps another month while distracting the public away from the negative fundamentals yet again. We should also not overlook the possibility that the referendum vote may be rigged one way or the other. Current polls indicate a tie between the Leave crowd and the Remain crowd. Any vote this close is the easiest kind of vote to rig a few percentage points to either side. I believe the Brexit vote may be allowed to succeed, heres why 1) Elites including George Soros have suddenly decided to dive into the market to place bets on the negative side. Dumping large portions of their stock holdings, shorting equities and buying up gold and gold mining shares. Soros has been preparing his portfolio for a successful Brexit vote while at the same time publicly warning of the supposed dire consequences if the referendum passes. The last time Soros put this much capital into the markets was in 2007, just before the crash of 2008. 2) The IMF and the BIS have been warning since late 2015 (for six to eight months) that a global economic downturn is on the way in 2016. We saw considerable volatility at the beginning of this year, and markets are due for another shock. The last time the BIS and IMF were so adamant about an impending crash was in late 2007, just before the 2008 market plunge. 3) While the Federal Reserve has not yet implemented a second rate hike (I still believe they could use a rate hike this year to stab markets in the back if necessary), Janet Yellen pulled a maneuver which was almost as upsetting to investors. After the Fed policy meeting last week, markets were moderately exuberant and stocks were rising, then, Yellen opened her mouth and blamed the Brexit for the rate hike delay. Here is what the Fed has done: By delaying the second hike for another month, and then blaming the Brexit vote as a primary reason, they have created a bit of a paradox. If the Brexit vote passes, the Fed is asserting that they may not hike rates for a while, giving market investors the impression that the global economic recovery is not all that it is cracked up to be. If the Brexit vote fails, then the Fed MUST hike rates in July, otherwise, they lose all credibility. I believe Yellens claim that the Brexit vote was the cause of the hike delay was highly deliberate. It has triggered what may become a growing firestorm in equities and commodities. From the point of view of investors, if the Brexit passes, then all hell breaks loose. If the Brexit fails, then the Fed will hike rates and once again, all hell breaks loose. Or, the Fed refuses to hike rates even though its number one scapegoat is out of the picture, it loses all credibility, and all hell breaks loose. Its a lose/lose/lose scenario for the investment world, which is probably why global markets plunged after Yellens remarks. Investors have been relying on the predictability of central bank intervention for so long that now when ANY uncertainty arises, they run for the hedges. The Fed decision to blame the Brexit for their rate hike delay could indicate foreknowledge of a successful Brexit vote. 4) The recent murder of British lawmaker Jo Cox is perhaps the weirdest piece in the puzzle of the Brexit. For one thing, it makes no sense for a pro-Brexit nationalist (Thomas Mair) to attack and kill a pro-EU lawmaker when the polls for the Leave group were clearly ahead. One could simply argue that the guy was nuts, but Im rather suspicious of a lone gunman, and his insanity has yet to be proven. I see no reason for this man, insane or not, to be angry enough to kill while the Brexit side was winning in all the polls. If someone was using him as a weapon only to discredit the Brexit vote or sway the public towards staying in the EU, you would think that they would have initiated the murder closer to the day of the referendum when it would have the most effect. The information-flooded public has days to digest new data and forget Jo Cox. My theory? Thomas Mair has handlers or he is just a mentally disturbed patsy, and his purpose is indeed to paint the Brexit movement as angry or crazy. But this does not necessarily mean the intent behind the assassination of Jo Cox was to break the back of the Brexit movement. Rather, the goal may only be to perpetuate a longer-term narrative that conservatives in general are a destructive element of society. We kill, were racists, we have an archaic mindset that prevents progress, we divide supranational unions, we even destroy global economies. Were storybook monsters. Even the cultural Marxists at the Southern Poverty Law Center somehow produced documents allegedly linking Mair (a veritable unknown) to Neo-Nazi groups in 1999. Wherever the SPLC is involved, the official story is always skewed. The murder of Jo Cox has had a minimal effect on Brexit polling numbers. In the end, the elites may find Thomas Mair more useful as a mascot for the Brexit AFTER the vote, rather than before the vote. So now the Brexit movement, which is conservative in spirit, is labeled a divisive and hateful group, and if the referendum is triumphant, they will also be called economic saboteurs. There is also the possibility that the Brexit is yet another fake out. We have seen many of them over the past few years. So many in fact that a lot of analysts in the Liberty Movement have grown pretty cynical, as if the system could be propped up forever. The issue is always, of course, one of timing. All fundamentals indicate that the global economy is going down regardless of what central banks and international financiers do in the long run. The only question is whether or not they feel it is time to pull the plug on one of the last remaining bubbles (stocks). A successful Brexit could be a perfect scapegoat for the next leg down in the economy, or it could be a perfect placebo to boost markets for a short time if it fails. In either case, I have no doubt that the outcome has already been decided. You can read more from Brandon Smith at his site Alt-Market.com.

2	DISGUSTING BLM Thug Attacks Police Horse, Watch What Happens Immediately After [VIDEO] The disrespect of law enforcement throughout the world is at an all-time highbut its good to see justice being servedone way or another. During the Queens University homecoming in Kingston, Ontario recently, a young blond woman demonstrated her ignorance by running up behind a policy horse mounted by an officer and smacking the horse on its rear. Of course, as common sense would have it, the horse immediately kicked the woman to the ground, face first. Fortunately, somebody caught the whole thing on tape. This is 40-seconds of must-watch justice. According to authorities, three people were arrested and charged with assaulting a police horse. The condition of the woman who was kicked isnt known, but the footage does show her popping up from the ground and running away holding her face in pain. 
3	Why the FDA should be charged with murderJon Rappoport At the FDA, which is, in fact, killing Americans at that rate, no one has ever felt the need to step forward and speak up. Lets shift the venue and ask the same question. If you were a medical reporter for a major media outlet in the US, and you knew the above fact, wouldnt you make it a priority to say something, write something, do something? Im talking about people like Sanjay Gupta (CNN, CBS), Gina Kolata (NY Times), Tim Johnson (ABC News), and Thomas Maugh II (LA Times). And with that, lets go to the smoking guns. The citation is: BMJ June 7, 2012 (BMJ 2012:344:e3989). Author, Jeanne Lenzer. (See http://www.bmj.com/content/344/bmj.e3989) Lenzer refers to a report by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices: It calculated that in 2011 prescription drugs were associated with two to four million people in the US experiencing serious, disabling, or fatal injuries, including 128,000 deaths. The report called this one of the most significant perils to humans resulting from human activity. And here is the final dagger. The report was compiled by outside researchers who went into the FDAs own database of serious adverse [medical-drug] events. Previously, I have documented that the FDA knows; because the FDA has a page on its own website that admits 100,000 people are killed every year by medical drugs, and two million more people are severely injured by the drugs. (Search engine FDA Why Learn About Adverse Drug Reactions or click here to be taken directly to the FDA page in question). And for the past five years or so, I have been writing about and citing a published report by the late Dr. Barbara Starfield that indicates 106,000 people in the US are killed by medical drugs every year. Until her death in 2011, Dr. Starfield worked at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. Her report, Is US health really the best in the world?, was published in the Journal of American Medical Association on July 26, 2000. Since the Department of Homeland Security is working its way into every nook and corner of American life, hyper-extending its mandate to protect all of us from everything, why shouldnt I go along with Janet Napolitanos advice: see something, say something. This is what I see and this is what Im saying. Maybe DHS would like to investigate the FDA as a terrorist organization. How many smoking guns do we need before a sitting president shuts down the FDA buildings, fumigates the place, and prosecutes very large numbers of FDA employees? Do we need 100,000 smoking guns every year? Do we need relatives of the people whove all died in the span of merely a year, from the poisonous effects of FDA-approved medical drugs, to bring their corpses to the doors of FDA headquarters? And let me ask another question. If instead of drugs like warfarin, dabigatran, levofloxacin, carboplatin, and lisinopril (the five leading killers in the FDA database), the 100,000 deaths per year were led by gingko, ginseng, vitamin D, niacin, and raw milk, what do you think would happen? Ill tell you what would happen. SEALS, Delta Force, SWAT teams, snipers, predator drones, tanks, and infantry would be attacking every health-food store in America. The resulting fatalities would be written off as necessary collateral damage in the fight to keep America safe and healthy. All those phony stories in the press, reported dutifully by so-called medical reporters? The stories about maybe-could-be-possible-miracle breakthroughs just over the horizon of state-of-the-art medical research? Those stories are there to obscure the very, very hard facts of medically-caused death on the ground. The buck stops at the FDA. Except in the real world, it doesnt. Which tells you something about the so-called real world and how much of it is composed of propaganda. Here is the situation. No medical drug in the US can be released for public use unless and until the FDA says it is safe and effective. Thats the rule. The FDA is spitting out drug approvals month after month and year after year, and the drugs are routinely killing 100,000 people a year and maiming two million more, which adds up to a million deaths per decade and 20 million maimings per decade. The FDA and the federal government are doing nothing about it, even though they know whats going on. This is mass murder. Not accidental death. Murder. A holocaust.

3	Long Buried Texas Fertilizer Plant Explosion Conspiracy Re-Emerges From Shadows Of Boston BombingBy Bernie Suarez Meanwhile in Waco Texas 2 days later, on the evening of April 17th, a fertilizer plant caught fire and was being consumed in flames when some 22 minutes later a mighty suspicious massive explosion took place; an explosion captured nicely on camera by nearby residents that was so loud and so bright that many have suspected it was some sort of missile strike. Sounds crazy? You decide: Now lets listen in to what Nevada governor candidate at the time, David Lory VanDerBeek, had to say about this. The governor candidate breaks down some of the features of this evidence very nicely showing you the trajectory of the energy being provided by the missile. After seeing this video no one should wonder why he had no chance at winning the governor race. The plant was owned by Adair Grain Inc. a family owned food plant which also goes by or is closely associated with Texas Grain Inc. a competitor of Monsanto who had filed a lawsuit against Monsanto accusing Monsanto of artificially inflating the price of their Roundup herbicide. This additional explosion to this day is highly suspicious; and now that the mainstream media is briefly covering this story its a good time to examine this event a bit more closely. According to mainstream media sources the federal government investigators claim the factory was an explosion waiting to happen: The source of the explosion was ammonium nitrate stored in a wooden container at the plant, investigators have said. The ammonium nitrate detonated with the force of approximately 15,000 pounds to 20,000 pounds (6,800 kg to 9,100 kg) of TNT, according to federal officials. But if we examine the explosion claim we must take into consideration that the Adair Grain fertilizer plant reported to the EPA a very different picture: West Fertilizer Co. reported having as much as 54,000 pounds of anhydrous ammonia on hand in an emergency planning report required of facilities that use toxic or hazardous chemicals. But the report, reviewed Wednesday night by The Dallas Morning News, stated no under fire or explosive risks. The worst possible scenario, the report said, would be a 10-minute release of ammonia gas that would kill or injure no one. The second worst possibility projected was a leak from a broken hose used to transfer the product, again causing no injuries. The plan says the facility did not have any other dangerous chemicals on hand. It says that the plan was on file with the local fire department and that the company had implemented proper safety rules. ATF Chief investigator Rob Elder recently announced: The fire has been ruled as an incendiary. This means this fire was a criminal act. Elder then says that numerous pieces of evidence were taken into account including, witnesses, images and video footage. But was the video evidence really taken into account? Even more intriguing, Mr Elder has announced a $50,000 award for information leading to the capture of the arsonist, so if anyone wants to take him on please do. I cant help but to be reminded of the 1933 Reichstag fire false flag in Germany and how a patsy of choice was afterward chosen and executed in the period that followed. Lets consider some additional ironies and peculiar accounts surrounding this explosion. According to the reported investigation conclusions: The explosion damaged an area measuring roughly the size of 37 city blocks, Elder said, and left a crater 93 feet (28 metres) wide by 12 feet (3.7 metres) deep. The ammonium nitrate detonated with the force of approximately 15,000 pounds to 20,000 pounds (6,800 kg to 9,100 kg) of TNT, according to federal officials. This conjures up memories of the government claims that on 9/11 WTC 7 was packed with diesel fuel tanks which they would then use in an attempt to sell the theory that office fires alone could destroy the building in the controlled demolition manner in which it was destroyed. The problem with looking at the entire story, looking at all the evidence and then listening to the government investigation statements (or lack thereof) is that the whole story doesnt fit like it should, and that alone should lead us to wonder, was the fertilizer plant purposely struck with a sophisticated military missile to send Texas Grain Inc. a message? Can Ammonium Nitrate alone cause such a wide and deep crater in the damaged area? And is the quality, direction and trajectory of the explosion consistent with an explosion originating from the plant as the government would have you believe? Suspicions run high that this was not only a classic military style (think 9/11 Pentagon style) attack on the plant but, specifically, this may have involved a new Advanced Hypersonic Weapon (AHW) developed by the Army in 2011 seen here. The video below explains this possibility more in-depth. Again, you decide. When analyzing this lets keep in mind that conspiracies are now the norm and today it is well within reason for any critical thinker to suspect government conspiracy as a reasonable possible explanation. It is also incumbent upon us to consider all evidence including the irony of this story being buried at the height of the Boston bombing event. That they are just now briefly talking about this explosion after 3 years of hiding the story is suspicious in itself. The multiple video analyses above demonstrating reasonable probability of a sophisticated military style missile strike should matter to everyone. If true, this constitutes another blatant murderous act of violence of our government against its own people potentially on behalf of its global organized crime cartel partner Monsanto who is known to work with Blackwater/XE. Now that investigators are officially ruling this event as a criminal act it will be very interesting to see if they produce a patsy of their choice in the future (Reichstag fire style) to throw off anyone suspicious of government activity in this crime. It sure does seem like a criminal act to my eyes, and as usual no one in the mainstream media or the usual pre-selected government investigative body is looking for or even suspecting that the plant was ultimately pulverized by a missile strike. We all know that government investigative bodies never even look for possibilities that imply that the State is involved in the crime. So this phony search including their phony $50,000 reward will never lead to any real justice. Dont think for a moment the ruling class wouldnt commit a crime like this to protect their interest and send a message. These are ultimately the same people who funded the attacks in Iraq on April 15, 2013 and organized the Boston bombing event on the same day. In order for truth seekers to remain vigilant and to stay on top of government crimes and conspiracies they need to take events like this seriously and do their own research. Its not about being paranoid, its about believing your own eyes and ears, looking for patterns, exercising critical thinking, and maintaining a clear overall awareness of the big picture.

I was just talking about this the other day, oddly enough. I always thought it was a missile, maybe if it was some futuristic hypersonic type, it would explain the lack of witnesses seeing a drone or helicopter or the missile itself possibly? I have to disagree with the Reichstag fire being a false flag. The Reds at the time were a vicious communist group committing many terrorist acts. The NWO have many weapons Monsanto being one of their beloved fascist corporations. there should be something of the missile left? ATF excavated dirt for weeks to remove traces of the depleted uranium. CSB was blocked from investigating by ATF. Check it out. Heres what I have found after researching this topic. ONE of the mini-nukes that was to be planted in the sub-basement area of one of the world trade center towers was stored in this very same fertilizer plant after coming into the country through the port in Texas. Every nuclear device leaves a very unique and distinct chemical signature anywhere they are stored. Every one of them can be identified from this footprint as very detailed records are kept for every nuclear pit. The one responsible for the tragedy on 911 HAD to eliminate the fertilizer plant to cover their tracks. You see, they miscalculated the American people we havent accepted their BS story about 19 radical muslims taking over airliners and defying the laws of physics, thermodynamics, and common sense.. We know better.. and we are still figuring it all out. My ex wife and I paused the initial news story of this explosion. There was a tomahawk cruise missile shot into this plant. After conducting 400 interviews and lab work on evidence, investigators determined someone started the fire on purpose, officials from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said. Nuff sed. Scap goat reply. 
2	BREAKING: NY Times Groping Victim Comes Clean, This Dirty Liar Made The Whole.... Donald Trump faced many hurdles this week on the campaign trail. This was escalated when The New York Times printed a story in which many women accused the GOP presidential nominee of sexual assault. Just a few days later, one of the women has already been exposed as a liar. Heres an excerpt from the story, where Jessica Leeds, 74, claims to have been groped by Trump during a flight: At that moment, sitting at home in Manhattan, Jessica Leeds, 74, felt he was lying to her face. I wanted to punch the screen, she said in an interview in her apartment. More than three decades ago, when she was a traveling businesswoman at a paper company, Ms. Leeds said, she sat beside Mr. Trump in the first-class cabin of a flight to New York. They had never met before. About 45 minutes after takeoff, she recalled, Mr. Trump lifted the armrest and began to touch her. According to Ms. Leeds, Mr. Trump grabbed her breasts and tried to put his hand up her skirt. He was like an octopus, she said. His hands were everywhere. She fled to the back of the plane. It was an assault, she said. It didnt take long for a Twitter user to point out that Leeds story was taken almost word-for-word from Velvet Underground. Whoa. Like an octopus line is from a song and previous famous news story. New blog from NYT is a hoax! pic.twitter.com/tjwn0fD2r9

1	NEW YORKAttorney Dina H. Berman of Oliva, Berman & Chase said Tuesday that he has used the same letter of recommendation for eight consecutive interns. 'Unless someone is a complete fuck-up, I can pretty much pull up the letter and just change the names and dates,' Berman said. 'They're all 'enterprising and enthusiastic with a lot of great ideas and an asset to any team' to me.' Berman finished the letter with the standard offer to answer any questions about the intern, but did not correct the transposed digits in her phone number. 
2	Black Student Violently Threatens And Attacks Teacher, This Is What Happens When You Have No Police [VIDEO] The media is in an uproar over the misrepresented video of a police officer attacking a black female student in a classroom. The lesser-told story, however, is what happens in schools if security and police are not present. The following footage was posted online by a group of U.S. high school students, who were amused by abusing and intimidating one of their teachers. The clip shows one student throwing things at the teacher, cussing at her, and even threatening her with a chair. Watch the disturbing video below. What do you think? Is this why we need to be able to defend ourselves in schools?

3	The Government Is Researching How To Use Technology To Change Your Religious BeliefsMichael Snyder We would probably know very little about the development of this technology if a whistleblower had not recently come forward. The following is a YouTube video in which investigative reporter Ben Swann interviews this whistleblower and explains what the U.S. government is actually trying to do That video should chill you to the core. And apparently this kind of technology already exists. It is called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and it can reportedly alter your most cherished beliefs. The following is a short excerpt from Ben Swanns interview with the whistleblower that worked on this project Whistleblower: Yes, it started out in the psychiatry field when people were depressed and when youre depressed certain parts of your brain are not functioning correctly. So they created this technology, which is basically a big magnet, and you put it on their brain and it turns off that part of the brain thats bad or wrong and it would help them with their depression for several weeks to a month and theyd go back and do it again. So this technology has been around for ten or fifteen years. Ben: So its very high tech propaganda, what were talking about. Whistleblower: High tech and validated propaganda, yes. So if theyre able to turn off a part of the brain and get rid of that master narrative that will make you not believe in a particular statement, they would have validated this propaganda. So if they turn off portion X, they know that the propaganda is going to work and the individual is going to believe whatever is being told to them. Once the U.S. government starts using this technology on people, will there be any limit on who they can use it on? As Ben Swann noted, the label extremist can be applied to almost any kind of religious belief After all, arent extremist Muslims dangerous? Extremist Christians? See the problem with the question is who gets to define extremist? Who decides if religious beliefs are inherently dangerous? And if we believe that government should have the power to control how the extremist thinks wouldnt they have the authority to decide how and what we all think? Dont be tempted to think that this cant happen. Just this weekFox News reported that the American Family Association, a very mainstream evangelical Christian organization, was classified as a domestic hate group during a U.S. Army briefing Several dozen U.S. Army active duty and reserve troops were told last week that the American Family Association, a well-respected Christian ministry, should be classified as a domestic hate group because the group advocates for traditional family values. The briefing was held at Camp Shelby in Mississippi and listed the AFA alongside domestic hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan, Neo-Nazis, the Black Panthers and the Nation of Islam. And this is hardly an isolated incident. In a previous article entitled 72 Types Of Americans That Are Considered Potential Terrorists In Official Government Documents, I listed a whole bunch of different types of Christians that are considered to be extremists in U.S. government documents. And this attitude of animosity toward Christians is manifesting itself in a multitude of ways all over the country. In fact, according tothe new Religious Hostility Survey, the number of incidents of hostility toward Christians in the United States is growing at a very frightening pace Hostility against Christian Americans is growing at an alarming rate, according to a new survey from the Family Research Council and Liberty Institute. The Liberty Institutes Jeff Mateer noted that while last years survey was based on 600 cases, this survey that were releasing right now is almost 1,200. So weve almost doubled in just one year. One such case involved college student named Audrey Jarvis, who was asked twice to remove her cross, or at least hide it, at a student orientation. My supervisor came up to me out of nowhere and asked me to remove my cross necklace because he thought it would be offensive to incoming freshmen, she recalled. Will we eventually get to the point where evangelical Christianity is looked down upon so much in this nation that it is considered acceptable for the government to use technology to wipe away the religious beliefs of extremist Christians? Once upon a time, it would have been insane to even suggest such a thing. But now the technology is being developed and mainstream evangelical Christians are being labeled as extremists and potential terrorists in official U.S. government documents. It is frightening to think about where all of this might end up. So what do you think about all of this?

2	Warren Buffet Is So Positive Who Will Be Our Next President He Put Money On It According to billionaire investor Warren Buffet, it is so clear that Hillary will run for and become president in 2016, that he is willing to put money on it. In a recent interview, Buffet predicted that Hillary will announce her run for presidency as late as possible. While Buffet seemed confident in this statement, he did not have an opinion on who would go on to win the nomination for the Republican party. He also stated that his prediction about who will receive a nomination for the Republican party will not be based on the greatest chance of winning, or whether they could do the best job as Americas next leader. Instead, he stated that the candidate will likely be the one who raises the most money. What do you think of Buffets prediction for the election? 
3	Department of Justice: drone strikes on American citizens are legal because Obama and Holder said soMadison Ruppert While this might seem absurd to the point that it seems like it should be published in the Onion, it is quite unfortunately true. The Attorney Generals statement last month that the use of remotely piloted aircraft and the targeting of Anwar Al-Aulaqi were subject to exceptionally rigorous interagency legal review and determined to be lawful along with the Presidents statement that those actions were legal only support the conclusion that those actions were lawful, and certainly were not clearly established to be unconstitutional in 2011, stated a court filing signed by Paul Warner, a trial lawyer in the Department of Justices Criminal Division, according to Ryan J. Reilly of the Huffington Post. This came in response to a lawsuit, al-Aulaqi v. Panetta, filed by both the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) on behalf of the estates of three of the American citizens who have been killed in U.S. drone strikes. The lawsuit alleges that the U.S. governments killing of Anwar al-Awlaki (also spelled Aulaqi), his 16-year-old son Abdulrahman al-Awlaki and Samir Khan was unconstitutional because they were not given the due process demanded by the Constitution. Of course, in the past Attorney General Eric Holder has claimed that the Obama administrations secret reviews of classified evidence count as due process and they claim that the letter from Holder to members of Congress and Obamas speech on national security didnt change their legal position. The government claims that they deserve qualified immunity because the plaintiffs failed to allege the violation of any clearly established constitutional rights. The government claims that the statements from Obama and Holder are holly consistent with Defendants showing that Anwar Al-Aulaqis due process rights were not violated. When the legal basis for the targeted killings was challenged in court previously, a federal judge ruled that the Obama administration could simply claim they had a legal basis while never explaining it. Furthermore, in the Justice Departments leaked whitepaper on the targeted killing of Americans, anything resembling due process was glaringly absent. Most astounding of all is that the Obama administration argued in their filing that the judicial branch is ill-suited to evaluate the many military, intelligence, and foreign policy considerations behind the choice to kill the American citizens. The government added that because 16-year-old Abdulrahman al-Awlaki and Khan were not specifically targeted by the government, as is their claim, the plaintiffs cannot claim that they were subjected to an unconstitutional process. The fact that the government is now claiming that the judicial branch simply cant evaluate the killing of Americans shouldnt be all that surprising given the aforementioned federal judges decision. After all, that judge didnt even read the legal memo supposedly outlining the governments legal basis for killing Americans.

3	All of Americas Wars Begin with False Flags (and WWIII Will Too)By Melissa Dykes This D.C. think tank jerk off blatantly admitted all of Americas wars have traditionally begun with false flag events, and they know they will need another one to get the war with Iran started that theyve been working on for so long. This video is a few years old now, but its more relevant today with whats going on in the Middle East than ever. Whatever happens over there, just know how absolutely manufactured all of it is. Melissa Dykes (formerly Melton) is a co-founder of TruthstreamMedia.com. She is an experienced researcher, graphic artist and investigative journalist with a passion for liberty and a dedication to truth. Her aim is to expose the New World Order for what it is a prison for the human soul from which we must break free. Id like to believe that the next time a war breaks out will be when these A-holes climb down from their ivory towers and go put their own lives on the line in the theater, as they like to call war zones. Instead of using the rest of us for their entertainment, they should have to go out and be their own entertainment. They call it a theater because congress is a stage of actors that puppet for the elite. I loath this guy hes the epitome of the Tribe for me. Is this the shape-shifter type of thing we hear about? 
1	At a well-attended rally in front of his new Ground Zero headquarters Monday, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani officially announced his plan to run for president of 9/11. 'My fellow citizens of 9/11, today I will make you a promise,' said Giuliani during his 18-minute announcement speech in front of a charred and torn American flag. 'As president of 9/11, I will usher in a bold new 9/11 for all.' Giuliani at a campaign stop near Washington. If elected, Giuliani would inherit the duties of current 9/11 President George W. Bush, including making grim facial expressions, seeing the world's conflicts in terms of good and evil, and carrying a bullhorn at all state functions. 'Let us all remember how we felt on that day, with the world watching our every move, waiting on our every word,' said Giuliani, flanked by several firefighters, ex-New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, and Judith Nathan, his third wife. 'With a campaign built on traditional 9/11 values, and with the help of every citizen who believes in the 9/11 dream, I want to make 9/11 great again.' According to Washingtonbased political analyst Gregory Hammond, Giuliani's candidacy 'should not be underestimated.' 'Sure, he has no foreign or national policy experience, and both his personal life and political career are riddled with scandal,' said Hammond. 'But in the key area of having been on TV on 9/11, the other candidates simply cannot match him. And as we saw in 2004, that's what matters most to voters in this post-9/11 world.' After his downtown Manhattan announcement, Giuliani held an afternoon rally near the Pentagon. In the early evening, he flew to a field outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where he hosted a $5,000-a-plate fundraising dinner in a tent decorated with clouds of ash, streaming sheets of singed office paper, and small piles of authentic rubble from the World Trade Center site. Among the policy planks listed on his website are his Cleaner Air Act, which would severely limit the levels of smoke and harmful gases allowed to pour from 747s flying into 110-story office buildings, guaranteed health insurance covering burns caused by shards of burning metal, and his 'No Child Left Behind In A Smoldering Skyscraper' initiative. Giuliani supporters praised the candidate for his 'early and unwavering commitment' to 9/11. 'People talk about Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, but did either of them happen to be mayor of New York in September 2001?' Bedford, NH resident Helen Rolfe said. 'Guiliani was. To me, that speaks volumes about this man.' Still from an early 'Giuliani For 9/11' ad now running in New Hampshire. Though his campaign apparatus is not yet fully operational, Giuliani's 'mobile campaign units'refurbished fire trucks decorated with banners, balloons, and bloodstains, whose droning sirens continuously blare Giuliani's official campaign songhave already begun canvassing towns in Iowa and New Hampshire. Giuliani's pro-9/11 message seems to be resonating with potential voters. Said Ames, IA voter Alan Benoit: 'I remember seeing Rudolph Giuliani's face, on television, saying reassuring things during a highly emotional moment filled with fear and confusion. He's got my vote.' With more than a year until the primariesunless Giuliani's court-filed request to hold New York's primary on the second Tuesday in September is approvedGiuliani said it is too early to discuss potential running mates, though he refused to rule out the possibility of naming a twisted, half-melted aluminum beam, an FDNY ball cap, or even John McCain. Giuliani, however, called rumors that he had met with a large shard of glass from the wreckage of the Pentagon 'patently untrue.' 'Letting 9/11 fall into the hands of the Democrats in 2008 would be nothing short of a national tragedy,' Giuliani said. 'Ever since 9/11 was founded that fateful day on 9/11, 9/11 has stood for one thing: 9/11.' 
2	Ann Coulter Risks Everything To Bring Down Hillary Clinton... She Needs Our Support Recently, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton attempted to explain to the world why she comes off as cold and heartless. Apparently, she is a victim who was forced to stand up to bullies. I was taking a law school admissions test in a big classroom at Harvard. My friend and I were some of the only women in the room. I was feeling nervous. I was a senior in college. I wasnt sure how well Id do, Hillary confessed. And while were waiting for the exam to start, a group of men began to yell things like: You dont need to be here. And Theres plenty else you can do. It turned into a real pile on. One of them even said: If you take my spot, Ill get drafted, and Ill go to Vietnam, and Ill die. And they werent kidding around. It was intense. It got very personal, she continued. But I couldnt respond. I couldnt afford to get distracted because I didnt want to mess up the test. So I just kept looking down, hoping that the proctor would walk in the room. I know that I can be perceived as aloof or cold or unemotional. But I had to learn as a young woman to control my emotions. And thats a hard path to walk. Of course, not everyone bought into Hillarys sob story. Ann Coulter, for example, was happy to tear it apart. The problem with this corny story that only 20-year-old girls would believe is: Hillary graduated from Wellesley in 1969, Coulter commented. Remember? Thats when she gave that speech insulting the first black senator since Reconstruction. So her senior year began in autumn, 1968. She says she was a senior during this harrowing experience, which is when the LSAT is normally taken. But the LBJ administration ended all graduate school deferments on February 16, 1968, except for medical, dental and divinity students, when Hillary was still a junior in college. Perhaps it was that bump on her head that has her confused on dates. Or the trauma of that gunfire she ducked landing in Sarajevo. What do you think of Ann Coulters response? 
2	Dolly Parton Goes Public Again, TRASHES Hillary With 6 Brutal Words About Being A Criminal Dolly Parton is one of Americas great singing and songwriting talents, and until recently was a big Hillary Clinton supporter. She had stated how inspired she was that a woman might serve as our President for the first time. She said, Were doing good. We got a woman that could go in the White House, so weve certainly come a long way in that respect. Recently, however, she came to realize that Hillary would be the worst person to be this kind of pioneer. Dolly now understands shes as corrupt as they come. In a recent interview, Dolly went even so far as to say that Hillary is nuts and said that her campaign has been just crazy. Dolly said that people need to stop being fooled by Hillary and her criminal acts and her ties to terrorism. Commented Dolly harshly, Lets talk about what we really need taking care of us. I think people just want to have a feeling of security. Its just like political terrorism right now. Echoing Trumps Make America Great Again slogan, Dolly added, Weve got room for improvement. Do you agree with Dolly? 
3	Google Validates Putting Robotic Intelligence in Every HomeNicholas West These major purchases indicate that Google is poised to automate the concept of Smart Homes to a far greater degree than has been possible before. According to leading tech site,Gigaom, the robot invasion is about to begin in earnest as we move on to an expanded landscape interconnected and managed by an Internet of Things. Until this point, the Smart Home has been largely conceptual due to the need for manual implementation by the end user. However, Google aims to introduce robotic intelligence in such a way that ease of use will be immensely expanded. It is this level of automated convenience that will be required for full adoption by the non-tech inclined. We often think of robots only in the humanoid sense and indeed Google has invested in that element as well, as they seek to bring autonomy from the assembly line to delivery. But, as Gigaomexplains, robots and their attendant intelligence can be any size and in any form, so long as they maintain a key feature. This mission to add intelligence embedded in physical objects can also be seen in the other companies that Google has scooped up as of late: What we are witnessing is Google consolidating the companies that are central to building the architecture of this new Internet. In early 2012 David Petraeus spoke to the CIA venture capital firm In-Q-Tel. He stated rather matter of factly that that an internet of things was already taking shape. Its not only the elective consumer gadgets like smartphones and whatever new video game system is being introduced. It will be all appliances and every object that can be given sensors to collect information and connect to the overall Smart Grid and beyond. In other words, before you determine what you might need from the objects around you, they already have made that decision, stored the data, reported it for analysis and wait only for further instructions from the ruling algorithm. We should also keep in mind that this technology is not happening in a vacuum; it is supported by a political/corporate will to keep alive the concept of man-made global warming as a core reason for governmental concern for the energy consumption of its citizens. That governmental interest, in fact, could be seen as the real ruling algorithm. An announcement from libertarian site Personal Liberty Digest is titled, Obama Administration Seeks Volunteers Who Want Government To Score Their Home Energy Consumption where they state: This world is being built, and with Google now manning the helm of the ship of state we can expect a much faster and coordinated roll-out. Moreover, since this technology is being subsumed into Googles holdings, it offers them a way to further integrate all platforms. This raises obvious privacy concerns about how data will be collected, stored, and shared and for what purpose(s). As tech writer Stacey Higgenbotham notes, a visit to the Nest Blogs FAQ sectionseeking answers about the potential coordination between Nest and Googles products did very little to alleviate her concerns over privacy and the use of her personal data. As a society, we already have embraced our smart gadgets to a dangerous degree, as is admitted to within the concerns posted above. Every privacy violation that has been revealed continues to warn us that we are putting too much trust in this technology and the companies delivering these products. We must stop voluntarily complying with a system that will eventually eradicate our ability to live a life free from surveillance and control. Here are two tweets from readers of The Verge which further encapsulate the challenges we face: Here are some other companies to keep an eye on as the Internet of Things continues its roll-out and Google continues to invest. If anyone would like to contribute to researching these companies and spreading the word, please contact us here, and we will consider publishing your article. Other sources: Further reading: 
2	Trump Stops Immediately, Refuses To Take Off Before Doing This [VIDEO] Throughout his presidency, President Barack Obama has made it very clear that honoring our men and women in uniform is not his priority. Already, on the campaign trail, we can see that Republican nominee Donald Trump would be a very different kind of leader. After his visit to Michigan last week, Trump refused to immediately board his plane. Instead, he took the time out of his busy schedule to greet and shake the hands of a line of police officers. What do you think? Is this the kind of president we need right now? 
1	A study released Monday by neurologists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has concluded that human beings display their highest range of cognitive capabilities when attempting to retrieve an object accidentally dropped into the narrow space between car seats. The groundbreaking research paper revealed that most individuals are able to perform extremely complex and otherwise unattainable feats of spatial awareness, tactile sensitivity, and problem solving when faced with reclaiming an item lost within the cramped slot between two automobile seats, or between either the driver or passenger seat and the vehicles center console. While the average person only draws on about 10 percent of their maximum neural capabilities when engaging in most day-to-day challenges, our research showed that the same individual, when attempting to recover a cell phone or parking stub that has slid deep into the crack between car seats, uses nearly his or her entire brain, said professor of neuroscience and the studys lead author James DiCarlo, noting that test subjects utilized the uppermost limits of their perceptive, deliberative, and rational faculties when considering how to regain a wallet or sunglasses lying just beyond reach. In fact, the instant that our subjects lost an item to one of a cars various crevasses, they immediately called up a battery of sensory sensitivities, planning abilities, and motor skills that the brain is, according to our studies, only able to unlock in these very scenarios. What we observed under these conditions represents the very pinnacle of the human brains vast potential, DiCarlo added. As documented in the study, individuals who were faced with the recovery of a lost credit card or tube of chapstick were able to engage their full capacity for logic and critical thinking, most especially in those situations in which they were just barely able to graze the article with their fingertips while understanding that any improper move would only drive the item down farther into the gap. While test subjects reportedly demonstrated a far-greater-than-average capacity for strategic foresight when attempting to pincer an object between their middle and index fingers, researchers noted that cognitive facilities truly reached their peak during situations in which one opted to twist his or her arm beneath the seat and come at the lost item from below. According to the study, advanced neuroimaging revealed that tens of trillions of synapses were firing in the cortexes of those attempting to extricate a roll of mints from the area around the metal tracks that hold a cars seat in place, with the entire brain lighting up with activity when the subject employed an ice scraper as an extension of his or her arm or moved the seat backward in an effort to gain greater access to the difficult-to-reach object. When our test subjects engaged in extended, purposeful maneuvers in order to retrieve a pen or ones last quarter for a toll booth, our MRI machines detected a surge of brain activity that we did not even know the organ was capable of producing, DiCarlo said, noting that the mental processes observed under these circumstances eclipsed by leaps and bounds the cerebral functions seen when a subject studied for an examination, solved a complex math problem, or played a game of chess. In addition, we found that when an individual climbed into the backseat, lay down on the floorboard, and blocked out all other sensory stimulation while carefully fishing for a grocery list, the volume of active neurons recorded in this scenario charted higher than anything I or my colleagues had ever seen. If we could somehow harness the cognitive power on display in such circumstances, theres no telling what the human race could accomplish, the neuroscientist continued. Though DiCarlo stated that his groups findings were impressive, he emphasized that the remarkable neural capabilities observed in this study only narrowly surpassed the findings of previous research into the brain activity of those maneuvering a couch up a stairwell, unlocking and opening ones front door while both arms are laden with heavy grocery bags, and attempting to snake the dislodged drawstring on a pair of sweatpants back through the opening. 
3	If You Were Chief Of CIA Consciousness OpsBy Jon Rappoport Who knows where it started? With the Egyptian pyramid builders? The Sumerians? In the modern era, the fervor has reached a high point. Physicists, biologists, and chemists are relentless in their pursuit of consciousness as a function of the brain. It has to be the brain. All those synapses and neurons and chemicalsand underneath them, the atoms and the sub-atomic particlessomehow these tiny particles conspire to produce consciousness and awareness. Yet these same scientists deny that a sub-atomic particle carries any trace of awareness. The particles flow. They obey laws. Thats all. So the experts are painted into a corner. They then speculate: Well, you see, the increased ability to process information, the complexity of structurenaturally, this implies consciousness. No it doesnt. A Ferrari is complex. So is the Empire State Building. So is the IBMs best computer. And? Where is the consciousness? You, sitting there right now, reading these wordsyou understand the words; you KNOW youre reading them; youre not just processing information. YOU ARE CONSCIOUS. If a physicist wants to say that you, knowing youre reading, are just a phenomenon of atoms in motion, let him try, let him explain. Let him do more than bloviate. Imagine you were the chief of a CIA section called Consciousness Covert Ops. What would you try to do, given that your motive, as always, is control? You would try to convince the population that consciousness isnt free and wide-ranging and powerful and independent. You would try to narrow the popular belief about consciousness. What better way than to focus on the brain as the seat of all awareness? The brain functions according to laws. Were discovering more and more about those laws. We can determine when the brain is malfunctioning. Were learning how to correct those malfunctions. Indeed. Youre spinning narrative about the brain as if it were a car that has to visit the shop. Thats what you want. You want to make people believe their brains need fixes, because, after all, you come out of the long tradition of CIA MKULTRA mind control. When the brain comes into the shop, you can try to reprogram it. You can experiment. You can apply the latest technology. You can attempt to insert controls. You can place monitors in the brain, in order to observe it in real time. At a more basic, yes, philosophic level, you want to eliminate any sort of movement claiming that consciousness is separate from the brain. You want to snuff that idea out. Its counter-productive, to say the least. It could give rise to a renaissance of an old outmoded notion called: freedom. What could be more free, more independent, more unique, more creative than individual consciousness that has a non-material basis? You want to do everything you can to equate consciousness with the brain and, thus, the modern idea of the computer. Yes, the computer. Perfect. Consciousness is a computer operating at a very high level. All computers can be improved. All computers can malfunction. They can be repaired. And then, the ultimate coup: Consciousness? A very old idea that, in light of the progress of technology, has no merit. Its really information processing. The brain handles that. The brain is a computer. Were learning how to build a better brain Youre shifting the focus of the old 1950s MKULTRA program, which mainly involved drugs and hypnosis, to a new arena. Youre coming at the territory inside the skull from a number of angles. Youre the next generation of Brave New World. And right across town, the Pentagon and its research branch, DARPA, is deeply involved in a number of allied research projects. For example, the cortical modem, a little piece of equipment that costs about $10. The gist? Insert proteins into neurons, and then beam photons into those proteins, thus creating image displays that bypass the normal channels of perception. Virtual reality with no headset. The project is still in its early stages, but the direction is clear: give the user an image display beyond his ability to choose. Its touted as an overlay. The person, walking down the street, can still see the street, but he can also see what you give him, what you insert into his visual cortex. Of course, as the technology advances, you could take things further: block out physical reality and immerse the person in the virtual. DARPAs enthusiasm about this project, as usual, exceeds its current grasp, but its determination to succeed is quite genuine. And the money is there. Think about this. Which way is a bright college student going to go? He can study ancient philosophy, in the least popular department on campus. He can read the Vedanta, and plow through its explications of consciousness. Or he can study biology and physics, and then try to land an entry job with the Pentagon, where he can fiddle with the human brain for fun and profit. This student has been thoroughly immersed in computers since he could crawl. He understands what they do and how they work. Hes been taught, over and over, that the human brain (consciousness) is a computer. So what path will he take? Over and above everything Im pointing out in this article, there is a human capacity called imagination. Its the wild card in the deck. Its the greatest wild card ever known. It is, in fact, the cutting edge of consciousness. It invents new realities. It releases gigantic amounts of buried energy. And its entirely an individual proposition. I built my second collection, Exit From The Matrix, on that basis: the liberation and expansion of imagination. Not just in theory, but in practice. There are dozens of imagination techniques to work with. Brain=computer=consciousness is the greatest covert op on the planet. Its supported with major money and labs and journals and armies of psychiatrists and neurological professionals and physicists and the military. And the op is completely false, because, again, the very scientists who push it are saying the brain is composed of sub-atomic particles THAT CONTAIN ZERO CONSCIOUSNESS. Think about that. Theyre saying consciousness arises out of particles that have no consciousness. (To read about Jons mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed, click here.)

1	Following his coverage of the presidents State of the Union address Tuesday night, Washington Post senior reporter Ed Karl, 66, said hes just going to hope he liveblogged the speech correctly, sources confirmed. The page is pretty long, so I think I did enough postshow many posts are these things supposed to have again? Karl, a reporter and political correspondent for the national newspaper since 1971, said to colleagues as he scrolled over a 300-word entry entitled #SOTU 2013: Best Ways to Watch. I tried to put a bunch of photos and updates on there, plus some tweets and jiffs or whatever. I dont know. Looks like a liveblog to me. At press time, editors had commended Karl on his work and encouraged him to link to it on his Facebook page. 
1	With the NHL preseason heading toward its conclusion, players, coaches, and managers wondered aloud Monday why they were even bothering with exhibition games. 'Don't we have eight months of games to play to get the rust knocked off?' Commissioner Gary Bettman said. 'Its not like any of these games are any good until the playoffs, anyway.' An official statement from the league office declared, in part, that the exasperation with the preseason had nothing to do with the total October attendance figure of 137. 
1	Saying its been his dream for as long as he can remember, local man Richard Jensen, 37, told reporters this week that he wants nothing more than to raise his family in the kind of place where white people greet each other on the street with a smile and a friendly word. Ive always imagined my kids growing up in a nice little town where white people arent in too much of a hurry to say hello to other white people, the insurance broker and father of two said of his hopes to someday move to a quiet community whose white residents still take the time to ask how one anothers white families are getting along. Maybe Im old-fashioned, but I love the idea of stopping to chat with anyone you happen to meet, whether its your white mailman, your white grocer, or even a white person youve never met before. Thats my idea of a perfect neighborhood right there, he continued. As he described at length his desire to buy a home in a small town in which everybody knows their white neighbors names, Jensen told reporters he aspires to put down roots among the kind of friendly white people who arent afraid to walk up to each other and introduce themselves. He said he looks forward to living in an area where white children can ride their bikes to school, white parents exchange the latest news at youth hockey games, and each year, the towns whites gather to watch the local production of A Christmas Carol. According to the Ohio native, he wants his family to enjoy a peaceful life in which white people dont bother locking their front doors and every white man, white woman, and white child goes to sleep at night feeling safe and secure. I suppose its corny, but the older I get, the more I long for that ideal town with ball fields and picket fences and relaxing evening strolls down tree-lined streets past friendly white neighbors, said Jensen, who lamented that during his time living in the city hes never really felt like part of a close-knit white community. I want to be able to sit on my front porch with a glass of lemonade knowing that I live in a place where white folks look out for each other. Thats where Im most comfortable. Sadly, there just arent a lot of places like that in this country anymore, he added. 
1	According to entertainment industry insiders, Columbia Pictures' 1995 courtroom thriller, The Witness, will soon be made into noted fiction writer John Grisham. The story of a blind boy who hears a racially charged murder take place in a Washington, DC coffee shop, The Witness will become a six-foot-one, 190-pound, best-selling lawyer-turned-author with a penchant for writing gripping page-turners set in the legal world. 'We believe this recent box-office smash will make a great Oxford, Mississippi-based author,' said David Rudner, Columbia Pictures' spokesperson. 'The gripping dialogue and nail-biting trial scenes should have people who meet Grisham on the edge of their seats.' The Witness: The Human Being is due out in July of '97. 
1	In one of the few public appearances since his 1986 death, the reanimated corpse of actor-comedian Scatman Crothers held a press conference Monday to decry telemarketing offers which are misleading or downright fraudulent. Zombie Corpse Of Scatman Crothers Speaks Out Against Telemarketing Scams 'Consumers were bilked out of almost $300 million last year by bogus phone solicitors,' said the rotting, ant-infested carcass of Crothers, who appeared in such films as The Shining and Zapped! 'Consumers need to be more aware of the methods and tricks of these scam artistsespecially the elderly, the most frequent targets of telephone fraud.' Pausing momentarily to stuff his entrails back into his stomach cavity, Crothers recounted the sad story of Coral Gables, FL, retiree Edna Kalter, who was swindled out of her life savings of $19,000 by a phony sweepstakes offer. 'Like many Americans of her generation, Edna was extremely trusting of these friendly-sounding phone solicitorsa fact that they counted on and exploited.' 'Any phone notification that you have won a contest you never entered should send up a serious red flag,' Crothers said. Speaking in a raspy shadow of a voice that, even in life, was famously husky and gravelly, the onetime voice behind cartoon superpooch Hong Kong Phooey urged consumers to use extreme caution when approached by phone solicitors. 'Never purchase anything over the phone unless you: a) initiate the call yourself; b) know who you are talking to; and c) believe the seller to be reputable,' Crothers said. Another sign that you are dealing with a con artist, the lurching, blue-gray cadaver of the veteran funnyman said, is when a phone solicitor pressures you to make a quick decision. 'Ask for a name, address, and phone number where you can reach the caller later, after you've considered the situation,' the putrefied, festering Crothers said. 'And ask for the complete offer in writing. If they stall or make excuses in any way whatsoever, don't worry about seeming rude. Just say, 'No, thank you,' and hang up.' 'And don't be afraid to ask for a financial report if a caller requests a charitable donation,' said Crothers, his left arm falling off. 'Reputable charities will always be happy to send you this information if you ask.' His flesh sliding off his skull as he spoke, the popular character actor then gave his 'absolute, most important' piece of advice: 'Never, ever, under any circumstances should you give your credit-card number over the phone. People have lost their entire bank accounts making that mistake.' Crothers then made a plea for live brains. 
1	Injury-plagued fireball reliever Joel Zumaya informed reporters Monday that his new $800,000 contract with the Twins obligates him to throw one last beautifully self-destructive pitch that will finally annihilate his arm forever. 'I've undergone dozens of surgeries and months of painstaking rehab to get my arm in good enough shape to pitch again, so that pitch is going to be absolutely incredible,' said Zumaya, whose single-pitch contract is laden with incentives for velocity, accuracy, and the horrifying sound his elbow makes when it implodes from the torque. 'Bones will splinter, arteries will be spouting in all directions, ligaments will twang through the air like snapped guitar strings, and when the shock and disgust finally subside, they'll look at the radar gun and see '235 mph.'' Zumaya then broke his wrist clicking a pen. 
3	A Greek Tragedy Playing Out TodayBy Catherine J. Frompovich Little did the Greek people think that they would be living a very real life, true Greek tragedy that has unfolded with uncanny drama: Banks closed for a week, maybe longer; 60 Euros as a daily ATM allowance; all while probably becoming a poster child for what may be the eventual undoing of the European Union. How so? Well, other EU countries apparently also find themselves in similar bankster-influenced straits: Spain, Italy, and even the UK [8,9]. Germany and France are offering ideas to save Greece, plus the European Union. However, Austria, a country with excellent and vibrant financial health, is pondering leaving the EU because it doesnt want to be forced to finance any more rat holes, which the EU compact apparently has facilitated. Years ago, before the EU was designed and implemented, every European country did rather well on its own. I think I can attest to that, as I traveled in Europe numerous times before the EU was formed. However, when globalization ideas and practices took over to form compacts like the European Union, a special monetary systemthe Euro () had to be put in place. A similar system is planned in the New World Order playbook for the three North American countries with that new money to be called the Amero[1]. Needless to say, we see the New World Order, so often touted as a conspiracy theory, unfolding before our eyes. Sweden and much of Scandinavia operate as a cashless trading society. Spain [2] and Italy [3] have their financial problems too! Lets not forget Cyprus, Ireland and Portugal! However, the Greeks seem to have decided they have had enough of financial slavery, not relishing a possible 30 percent bank accounts haircut [4], so they did something that other countries maybe ought to consider doing. The Greeks generated a parliamentary report titled The Truth Committee on Public Debt, a 64 page document issued by the Hellenic Parliament. According to the Reports Executive Summary, some very interesting issues are spotlighted, such as in Chapter 8, Assessment of the debts as regards illegitimacy, we find this: Chapter 8 concludes that the Greek public debt as of June 2015 is unsustainable, since Greece is currently unable to service its debt without seriously impairing its capacity to fulfill its basic human rights obligations. Furthermore, for each creditor, the report provides evidence of indicative cases of illegal, illegitimate and odious debts. Debt to the IMF should be considered illegal since its concession breached the IMFs own statutes, and its conditions breached the Greek Constitution, international customary law, and treaties to which Greece is a party. It is also illegitimate, since conditions included policy prescriptions that infringed human rights obligations. Finally, it is odious since the IMF knew that the imposed measures were undemocratic, ineffective, and would lead to serious violations of socio-economic rights. An interesting opinion, Id venture to say, could be this: Can the Reports critical assessment be considered an important and unsuspected discernment of banksters and financiers ultimate Modus Operandi? Furthermore, as a natural follow-up question: Does that sort of MO operate in financial transactions at the International Monetary Fund and filter into the World Bank and the U.S. Federal Reserve? There are 188 countries [6] in the International Monetary Fund. Guess whos the Managing Director of the IMF? Christine Lagarde! She gave a most unusualalmost occulttalk about the magic number 7 early in 2014. [5] In the IMFs 70-year history, no country has ever defaulted on the IMF! Chapter 9, Legal foundations for repudiation and suspension of the Greek sovereign debt, reverberates with: Several legal arguments permit a State to unilaterally repudiate its illegal, odious, and illegitimate debt. In the Greek case, such a unilateral act may be based on the following arguments: the bad faith of the creditors that pushed Greece to violate national law and international obligations related to human rights; preeminence of human rights over agreements such as those signed by previous governments with creditors or the Troika; coercion; unfair terms flagrantly violating Greek sovereignty and violating the Constitution; and finally, the right recognized in international law for a State to take countermeasures against illegal acts by its creditors, which purposefully damage its fiscal sovereignty, oblige it to assume odious, illegal and illegitimate debt, violate economic self-determination and fundamental human rights. [.] In response to those who impose unjust measures, the Greek people might invoke what Thucydides mentioned about the constitution of the Athenian people: As for the name, it is called a democracy, for the administration is run with a view to the interests of the many, not of the few (Pericles Funeral Oration, in the speech from Thucydides History of the Peloponnesian War). The Greeks are digging in, and rightfully so. Consider what Iceland did with their bankster problem. Iceland Imprisoned Its Bankers And Let Banks Go Bust: What Happened Next in 3 Charts. Iceland, basically, feels it can go it alone, and its economy is rebounding. [7] That should be a great lesson for Greece and all countries that feel oppressed by banksters. When will the USA come to that conclusion? But a question much closer to the U.S. homeland possibly could be: Can the Greek financial tragedy be considered some sort of natural entropy thats endemic to a predatory banking system?

Here is that video: https://youtu.be/ofNdWTHcIeQ From a Independent article link posted on selfnews Post, a new IMF report is recommending Greece be allowed a 20 year grace period before any debt repayments are made with the final payment 2055. By then, of course, even IF todays currency system were in place the value of such debt in the current paradigm of heavy debasement (mounting debt, QE, negative interest rates, etc.) would be miniscule. This strategy dovetails with the pope making a special call for a [debt] jubilee a few months ago. Seems like the plan is to hyperinflate / debase national currencies to oblivion and as nations re-align and restructure one-by-one they will be all led into the same corral. The hand wringing about whether Greece will exit the EU and asking if other nations follow appears to be theater and distraction, as the end game moves have already been decided. This has all been anticipated and planned. The new memes emerging out of the mainstream media are the international banks are in charge and effectively managing the crises having built firewalls to stop any contagion. This is a big makeover from 2008. Sadly, most will have forgotten or blocked out the lessons of the bailouts and what led up to them, viewing Greece as exhibit A of what could happen if restructuring and sacrifices are resisted. They will certainly try to maintain but much is out of their slimy hands. TPTB want and need the system to implode on certain levels to bring on the reset (Lagardes term). As the saying goes, never underestimate your enemy. Most people still dont understand they financed and built up nemeses and created the world wars. Almost nothing in society is organic, its a Matrix of lies. What is out of their slimy hands are independent minds, not enough of these yet. Throw em all in jail all the way up the chain to the central banks including the unfederal baloney bank of the satanic symbols. Education followed by informed activism is KEY to affecting the outcome. Turn on as many people as possible to Aaron Russos classic documentary America Freedom to Fascism followed up by James Corbetts excellent Century of Enslavement. https://www.corbettreport (dot) com/federalreserve/

1	Jerry Sanduskys lawyers told reporters Tuesday that the former Penn State assistant football coach is desperately hoping the judge has a heart and will take it easy on him while delivering his sentence for 45 counts of child sexual abuse. This is a first-time offender who has always been active in the community and has shown great behavior during this whole trial, said defense attorney Joe Amendola, adding that Sandusky hopes to be released after serving a couple years so he can get back to his wife, his children, and all his young friends whom he misses very much. Were talking about a man who founded an entire foundation for at-risk youths out of the goodness of his heart. This is a good man, and I dont think anybody would argue that he doesnt deserve a little mercy. Regardless of the outcome, the defense reportedly intends to file an appeal after sentencing on the grounds that it was far too difficult to prove Sanduskys innocence given the timing of the trial and their client admitting to being attracted to children on national television. 
2	What Obama Just Did For Illegal Immigrants Will Make You Absolutely FURIOUS A new report has just revealed that President Barack paid Baptist Children and Family Services (BCFS) $182,129,786 last year to provide basic shelter care to more than 2,000 unaccompanied alien children for more than one quarter. As if thats not bad enough, wait until you hear exactly where that money went. Included in the bills were compensation for employees, medical supplies including lice shampoo and pregnancy tests, and more than $20,000 for cable television. An additional $180,000 was spent on items like multicultural crayons (and item that the Obama administration calls educational). The illegal immigrants were also fed three meals a day and two snacks, amounting to $75 taxpayer dollars per day per illegal. Lets keep in mind that the average American teenager costs $71.70 per week to feed. The projects end date is September of next year, meaning that the surge will continue right up until Obama is out of office. What do you think? Is this even more reason to boot Obama out of office NOW?

3	Activist Rocker Seeks Crowdfunding for New AlbumExtraordinarily talented musician with a message, Jordan Page, wants you to be a producer on his next album. Visit his IndieGoGo page here. Jordan Page is an independent, national touring artist whose music has inspired a whole generation of liberty minded, politically conscious people from all walks of life. Jordans songs are a call to action, to arms, and to take part in the 2nd American revolution. As a prominent voice in the Liberty Movement, Jordan has shared the stage with iconic Congressman Ron Paul 15 times and has toured relentlessly for 6 years spreading the message of personal liberty, sound money, non-interventionist foreign policy, and has become a major anti-war voice in the modern peace movement. Jordan Pages albums reflect the realities of a world torn by imperialism and war, eroding freedoms, and a sleeping populace. His songs are a full assault on the concerted effort to dumb down society, and they expose many truths hidden from view of the masses, while breaking the spell of apathy with information disguised as rock n roll. This is a campaign to finance his next album. Anyone who owns his previous albums, Liberty, and Revolution EP know how powerful his music is and how dedicated he is to combating injustice through this medium. Being an independent artist is not always a path paved with gold, and this time around Jordan is calling on his fans and the whole patriot community to rally for him and create a truly grassroots-funded record. This next album is a major evolution for Jordan; politically, musically, and philosophically. Listeners will hear hard rock songs like The Boiling Man, and The Great Culling, homages to the unfolding plans of the NWO, as well as acoustic protest ballads like Number Seven, which asks the listener to consider that all warfare is based on deception, so to what depth has the world been deceived by the events on 9/11/01? Expect to hear killer crossover songs with guest appearances by liberty movement hip hop all stars Frank Castle from Heistclick and Payday Monsanto. As with any Jordan Page record, no two songs sound the same, and there will be a variety of influences as Jordan explores multiple genres with his own style of poetry; beautiful and terrifying all at once. Most people tell Jordan that once they listen to his albums, the discs never leave the CD player in their car, or they have to listen to certain songs every day to get the motivation they need to keep up the good fight. This album is taking Jordans music to the next level and every contribution will directly impact Jordans ability to continue his mission to educate and mobilize public resistance to tyranny through music. Watch the two excellent music videos below for a sample of Jordan Pages past work: Become a producer of this album to help spread real music with the message of peace and freedom.

1	As the 2012 NFL playoffs begin, coaches across the league find themselves in agreement on one fundamental aspect of the game: Punting the ball sucks, because the other team gains possession of the ball. 'I was glad we only had to punt about 50 times this season, because punting is really, really shitty,' New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton told reporters, adding that he is typically unhappy whenever he sends the punting team out, and happy when he doesn't have to. 'Having the ball is better than not having the ball. And if you punt, not only does it mean you don't have the ball anymoreit means you didn't score, which sucks.' 'It also sucks because your opponent now has the ball, which means they can score,' Payton added. 'I hate that.' According to coaches, punting 'mainly blows' because it ruins their team's chances of scoring a touchdown, an aspect of the game 100 percent of NFL coaches said they really love. 'Scoring touchdowns is the best,' Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey said. 'You usually get seven points, which can really help in terms of beating your opponent. But you can't get that number of points when you punt unless something really weird happens.' 'Overall, I prefer when my team scores a touchdown a lot more than when another team scores a touchdown,' he continued. In a league-wide poll, head coaches from all 32 teams were asked if they enjoyed punting, and to describe how much enjoyment it made them feel. All 32 answered 'no' to the first question, and either 'none at all' or 'very little' to the second. Only two respondents answered 'very little' instead of 'none at all': Cowboys coach Jason Garrett, who admitted he may have been confused by the question, and Denver coach John Fox, who said he took some comfort in the fact that punting meant he was voluntarily relinquishing possession of the ball and that his quarterback, Tim Tebow, hadn't done anything stupid with it. 'I've found that, throughout the course of a football game, having the ball is really important and good,' said Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, widely regarded as the league's greatest football mind. 'Given that the idea behind punting is to willingly and knowingly give the ball away, one would not expect it to be a very popular thing to do. Understood?' Many head coaches also discussed how, when their teams do not have the ball, most of their energy and concentration is devoted to getting the ball back, thinking of what they would do if they did have the ball, and hoping that, when they do get the ball back, they can score and not have to punt. 'You have to give the ball away after you score by kicking it off, and no one likes that, but that's different from punting,' Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said. 'For one thing, you're in a good mood because you just scored. And you can't score more than one touchdown each time you have the ballthat's the rule. So you have to kick the ball away, but it's sort of okay, since you can't really do anything else.' 'Wouldn't it be awesome to score on a kickoff, though?' Tomlin added. 'You can, you know, but it's very hard.' The poll found 100 percent of coaches agreed punting late in games is particularly bad, because then you might not ever get the ball back; 100 percent also said punting in the playoffs is worse than punting in the regular season, because being able to score during playoff games is 'really important,' mostly because if you don't have the ball, you might not score as many points as the other team, might be eliminated from the playoffs, and therefore might be unable to play any more football games. In addition, 100 percent said they hated their puntersplayers whose sole job is to punt the ball awayvery, very much. However, 100 percent of coaches agreed being punted to was 'pretty great.' 'I really like making the other team punt, because that means we did something right and they did something wrong,' Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said. 'And even better, now we have the ball. If I had the choice, I would want to have the ball all the time and never give it away.' When asked if they shared Coughlin's opinions, NFL head coaches said, 'Yes.'

1	In what sports fans across the nation are calling uncannily perfect timing, both the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League apparently opened their respective regular seasons Monday, just 20 hours after the conclusion of Sunday's exciting Super Bowl. 'I was watching highlights of the Giants' victory parade on ESPN, and I saw on the sports ticker that the Toronto Raptors upset the [Miami] Heat, and I was like, 'Oh, basketball already?'' Brad Saunders, 34, told reporters, adding that even though the Heat had suffered a 9-36 preseason, Saunders believes the team will start playing better now that everything officially counts. 'And I'm not that big of a hockey fan, but I read something somewhere about how the NHL played their All-Star game already, and I think having it before the season opener was a pretty interesting idea.' Saunders echoed the sentiments of millions by adding that he would be tuning in to both sports until they conclude on Feb. 14, when MLB pitchers and catchers report to spring training. 
1	Twenty-four-year-old security guard Ian Moran told reporters Tuesday that he would gladly lay down his life to protect the members of Coldplay during their upcoming show at the Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre. 'I hope it doesn't come to that, but if [lead singer] Chris [Martin] is in danger, it's my job to take a bullet for him if I have to,' said Moran, who has been struck in the head by beer bottles on three separate occasions while protecting Good Charlotte, Ozzy Osbourne, and Sheryl Crow, respectively. 'A secure Coldplay concert is bigger than just one man.' Coworkers said Moran started taking his responsibilities very seriously after a 2006 show at which he was unable to prevent overzealous fans from stealing Tim McGraw's cowboy hat, an incident for which he has never forgiven himself. 
3	House to vote on CISPA next week despite being horribly flawed after secret committee markupMadison Ruppert Unfortunately this is precisely the same situation we were presented with almost a year ago when it was similarly dangerous. Of course CISPA still enjoys massive corporate support as it did last year, according to the International Business Times. Today Michelle Richardson, Legislative Counsel for the American Civil Liberties Unions Washington Legislative Office pointed out that while CISPAs sponsors and corporate backers claim that all privacy and civil liberties problems have been solved, this is nowhere near the truth. During the markup process, only three of the four major categories of problems with CISPA were addressed, according to the ACLU. The fix for the potential of widespread sharing of information under CISPA offered by Rep. Jan Schakowsky failed. The limiting of the personal information that can be shared under CISPA offered by Rep. Adam Schiff also failed. While a partial fix for the unlimited immunity offered for hack backs under CISPA was offered by Rep. Jim Langevin, it still leaves a lot to be desired. The only real major problem solved was the lack of protections offered for information after it is shared under CISPA. This was fixed to a large degree by solutions offered by Reps. Jim Himes and Terri Sewell. Two provisions in the managers amendment actually removed protections added to CISPA last year, according to the ACLU. First, Rep. Justin Amashs (R-Mich.) ban on collecting library, tax, gun, and other records was reversed so that these records are collected pursuant to the privacy and minimization procedures that will apply to all records under the new draft, Richardson writes. Second, the government is no longer banned from affirmatively searching through the information collected through CISPA, so long as it does so for an authorized purpose, according to the ACLU. The simple fact is that the new CISPA is far too much like the old CISPA, to the point where there is no real meaningful distinction between the two. As such, some 34 civil liberties groups, including the ACLU and Electronic Frontier Foundation, penned a letter in March expressing their opposition to the bill. Even after the markup, the ACLU states that they continue to stand against this overbroad privacy-eviscerating bill. We will support floor amendments to fix the remaining problems and will be looking for your support, the ACLU states. Currently, the Obama administration has hinted that they cannot fully support the bill as is, but have not actually threatened a veto as they did in the past. We continue to believe that information sharing improvements are essential to effective legislation, but they must include privacy and civil liberties protections, reinforce the roles of civilian and intelligence agencies, and include targeted liability protections, the National Security Council said, according to the Hill. The council added that they are seeking to continue to work with the House on CISPA, but a deadline of next Tuesday for members to file amendments to the bill has been set by the House Rules Committee. The committee will also meet Tuesday to approve rule for the bill; once a rule is approved, the House will be able to consider the bill on the floor as early as the next day, according to the Hill. Since the House is expected to vote on the bill next week, there is little time left to contact members of Congress. Please take a few minutes of your day to contact your Congressional representatives to tell them to vote no on CISPA until the aforementioned problems are actually resolved. The ACLU is also encouraging Americans to tell Obama to veto CISPA, though it seems that any promise from the Obama administration is just about completely and totally worthless at this point. If CISPA is signed into law as is, the very little privacy protections enjoyed by Americans online will be completely eliminated. Did I forget anything or miss any errors?

3	The Establishment Strikes BackYoutube 
1	NFL spokesman Greg Aiello announced Monday that, after years of deliberation, NFL team owners will vote on the proposed construction of a second football stadium in order to ease current difficulties with scheduling and overcrowding. 'With 16 games every week and thousands of fans in attendance at each game, you can imagine the wear and tear NFL Field has taken over the past 90 years,' Aiello told reporters, adding that parking alone is 'a huge problem.' 'A new stadium could provide state-of-the-art facilities for players, as well as finally allowing teams to practice by themselves instead of conducting massive workouts where every team is on the field at once. Not to mention it would give our workers a lot more time to repaint the end zones between games.' Aiello later explained the NFL hoped to one day have stadiums in 'host cities' across the country, but admitted that was probably decades away. 
2	Obama Is Livid After State Of Florida Takes Massive Stand Against Him Florida lawmakers are petitioning to get the governor to refuse admission of all Syrian Refugees. Two governors have already announced they will accept no refugees, and a chain reaction has begun. Senator Don Gaetz and Representative Matt Gaetz wrote a formal letter to Governor Scott, and its seeming likely that he will follow through. With almost 3 states down, only 47 more to go before we will be satisfied. Should all 50 states refuse access to Syrian Refugees and defy Obamas wishes? 
3	In Defense of Kelly Thomas: Protesters Arrested After Police Acquittal in Torture-KillingBy Joe Wright In August, 2011 Rady Ananda reported that the family of Kelly Thomas had refused an offer of $900,000 not to pursue civil action, such was the presumption of likely guilt for those involved. Protesters have been gathering since the murder and their numbers are swelling in light of this latest travesty. However, when a crowd of more than 200 assembled yesterday in Fullerton, police moved in and made in excess of 12 arrests. While some arrests seem to be legitimate, the rest were taken into custody after simply refusing to leave the (public) protest site. The video below details the pursuit of justice where the traditional justice system has failed thus far. Kelly Thomas didnt deserve what he was subjected to; and an outraged public certainly deserves a far better police force than currently exists in Fullerton, CA. Note to future protesters please respect the wishes of Kellys family who would like to see the size of Kellys Army continue to grow, but they urge you to demonstrate your power through positive political action. You can raise awareness about this case and intelligently demand that changes be made inside the Fullerton PD without to resorting to the violence you are protesting against. And by all means keep your cameras ready to document any other episodes of police brutality, so that the world can identify the criminals masquerading as real police. Full transcript with additional research links: Police in Fullerton, Calif. arrested more than a dozen people Saturday protesting the acquittal of two former police officers charged with the beating death of a homeless man. KTTV reports more than 200 showed up to protest last Mondays acquittal. A woman at Saturdays protest was arrested for assaulting a TV news photographer after this altercation was caught on camera. According to KABC, police started asking protestors to leave after the assault. Police said they did try to accommodate protestors. Back in July 2011, security cameras captured the officers beating Kelly Thomas a mentally ill, homeless man. He died in the hospital five days later and the video sparked nationwide outrage, especially after the officers were acquitted. (Via KNBC) But his father told KCAL the violence and vandalism are not what the protests are all about. THOMAS: Same thing happened in Anaheim, but its not indicative of who Kellys army is. Were not out here to cause problems but bring awareness for the travesty of this verdict from the jury in the murder of my son. After the acquittal in a state court, Thomas father also said he plans to file a civil suit. CBS adds the FBI is investigating the death to see if the police officers might have broken federal laws. Now, we should add both officers were fired in 2012, but the department never said why or whether that was related to Kellys beating death. And while the two former officers have had almost a week to let the verdict set in, one of them is looking to get his job back. (emphasis added) The Orange County Register notes former Corporal Jay Cicinelli could pursue legal action if thats what it takes to get back to work after more than a year after being let go. As for Saturdays protest, KABC reports Fullerton police are looking at surveillance footage and say even more arrests could come in the near future. Recently from Joe Wright: 
2	New DNA Evidence Revealed Is Shutting Up Darren Wilson Critics By now, we all know the result of the Michael Brown case. But lesser known is the evidence that the grand jury released with their ruling to support their decision, knowing that it would be highly scrutinized. According to reports, numerous DNA samples taken from Darren Wilsons police vehicle at the scene of the shooting holds some very important clues in his support. A sample taken from the interior left door handle was reportedly consistent with being a mixture of two or more individualsThis profile can be separated into a major male contributor profile and one or more minor contributors. The reports also concluded that Michael Brown is the source of the major male contributor profile. Due to the limited genetic information available from the minor component the presence of absence of P.O. Wilson cannot be determined. The evidence supports Darren Wilsons account of the struggle. What do you think? Did the grand jury make the right decision in the Brown case?

1	While he is widely favored to win the Republican nomination for president next year, Mitt Romney told reporters Monday that deep down, what he truly wants is to actually establish a real, authentic connection with at least one voter before his campaign ends. Romney says he wants just one person out there to appear the slightest bit excited about him. The anguished former Massachusetts governor, who conceded many in his party will recognize him as their most electable candidate and vote for him only by default, said victory in the primaries will mean nothing to him if he remains incapable of energizing a single member of the American electorate. 'I'm getting a lot of support just by virtue of being the Republican in the race most likely to beat Obama, and that's good, I guess,' Romney said. 'But I suppose I was hoping for a stronger, more emotional reaction from people. When this whole thing is over, all I really want is for one person to truly, earnestly believe in meto look me in the eye as if to say, 'I'm with you, Mitt. You are great, and I am excited about you as a person and as a leader.'' 'There's got to be at least one, single individual out there who really, really wants me to be president, right?' he added. 'Right?' Romney, an unsuccessful candidate for the 2008 Republican nomination, said that in recent months his town hall appearances and campaign rallies have served as constant distressing reminders of his inability to spark genuine enthusiasm among voters or form any kind of meaningful bond whatsoever. 'Sure, some people cheer and wave signs, but it all seems so mechanical, like they're just going through the motions,' Romney said. 'Have you ever seen anyone at a Mitt Romney rally with tears streaming down their face? No, of course not. Has anyone ever spontaneously started a spirited 'Mitt, Mitt, Mitt' chant that I could spend a solid minute basking in before finally beginning my speech? No way. In fact, it's hard to even imagine it. Why is that? What am I doing wrong? I mean, I say inspirational stuff, don't I?' 'I'm not asking for people to faint or go into hysterics or anything, but would it be too much for just one person to respond intensely and personally to who I am and what I stand for?' continued Romney, adding that he would even be thrilled to have a voter shout at him in anger, because then he would at least be able to say he had actually moved someone. 'Frankly, I don't even care who it isan elderly woman, a child, a mentally-ill person who just happens to be wandering through the rally. I am wide-open here.' Sources confirmed Romney has directed his staff to conduct a nationwide door-to-door search to find at least one individual excited by his bid for the presidency, a massive undertaking he initiated upon realizing his own aides and volunteer workers had only joined his campaign after failing to find a more inspiring candidate to rally around. For his part, the presidential hopeful said he was making a concerted effort to maximize the potential for a meaningful moment in all public appearances. 'Now, when I give a speech, I make eye- contact with just one person the whole time, trying to convince them I understand and share their hopes and their fears,' said Romney, who has reportedly asked that his speechwriters redouble their efforts to craft soaring turns of phrase and convincing words of empathy. 'I hold all my handshakes a little longer, squeeze them a little tighter. I'm even saluting little kids. If one of them ever salutes me back, I'm counting it as a deep, heartfelt connection.' 'Still, I can't say I blame anyone,' Romney added with a sigh. 'I look in the mirror every day, and I don't feel all that inspired, either.' 
1	After 19 months of struggle in Iraq, U.S. military officials conceded a loss to Iraqi insurgents Monday, but said America can be proud of finishing 'a very strong second.' Casey (left) and Lt. Gen. John Abizaid shake hands with an enlisted soldier after the war. 'We went out there, gave it our all, and fought a really good fight,' said Gen. George W. Casey, the top U.S. commander in Iraq. 'America's got nothing to be ashamed of. We outperformed Great Britain, Poland, and a lot of the other top-notch nations, but Iraq just wouldn't stay down for the count. It may have come down to them simply wanting it more.' American tanks and infantry surged out to an impressive early lead in March 2003, scoring major points by capturing Baghdad early in the faceoff. The stage seemed set for a second American victory in as many clashes with Iraq, with commentators and generals alike declaring the contest all but decided with the fall of Tikrit in April 2003. 'In spite of jumping out to an early lead and having the better-trained, better-equipped team, I'm afraid we still came up short in the end,' Casey said. 'Sometimes, the underdog just pulls one out on you. But there's no reason for the guys who were out in the field to feel any shame over this one. They played through pain and injury and never questioned the strategy, even when we started losing ground.' 'The troops were great out there,' Casey continued. 'It's not their fault the guys with the clipboards just couldn't put this one away.' Casey said that, although the U.S. military did not win, it did set records for kills, yardage gained, palaces overrun, defensive stops, and military bases stolen. 'The Americans can be proud of the numbers,' Casey said. 'All things considered, there was some very impressive maneuvering out there. We kept the folks at home on the edge of their seats, that's for sure.' PFC Brian Walters was part of a squad defending Fallujah for the past three months. 'We're looking at an opponent who just keeps coming at you until the echo of the whistle,' Walters said. 'I gotta hand it to them, they weren't gonna roll over. We were just out there playing not to lose.' Former civil administrator of Iraq L. Paul Bremer said the U.S. troops performed admirably, adding that overconfidence may have been a factor. 'After that strong start, I really thought that we were going to take it home,' Bremer said. 'I'd say we can chalk this loss up to a combination of Iraq's home-field advantage and a poor second-half U.S. game plan.' U.S. offensive captain John Baptiste of the 656th Infantry said that his fellow troops 'were solid to the end,' adding that he was disappointed in U.S. leaders' decision to call the game so early. 'The chief should never come out at halftime and call it 'Mission Accomplished,'' Baptiste said. 'You never say that until the clock runs out. My guys did their best, but we've gotta remember that everyone plays to the final gun.' Loyal fans of the U.S. are still coming to terms with the loss, a rarity for an organization that won undisputed world championships in the '10s and '40s, but has not always played its best on hostile ground in recent years. Iraqi insurgents celebrate their victory in front of a burning Humvee. 'What kind of a defense was that in the final quarter of 2003?' said retired Air Force colonel Charles Carruthers, now a professor at the Army War College at West Point. 'The field generals all thought they had Iraq on the ropes, but no one told the Iraqis, who just kept nickel-and-diming them to death. In the end, our guys were getting absolutely shelled out there. You can't blame the men for that. That's underestimating the opposition.' Added Carruthers: 'You'd think they hadn't even scouted their opponent beforehand, let alone beaten them soundly the last time they squared off. Someone should lose his job over this.' Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld refused to take questions from reporters, saying that 'Monday-morning quarterbacking never solved anything.' 'Injuries and a shallow bench were major factors,' Rumsfeld said, speaking to angry team boosters in Washington. 'We've lost about 75 guys every month for the past year.' 'But remember that this was just one war,' Rumsfeld added. 'We'll get 'em next time.' 
2	Juan Williams Meets Kellyannes Boot After Making Disgusting Comment About Her Parenting Following the 2016 election, liberals have reached an all-time low, attacking the Trump family and everyone who has been associated with them. That was evidenced once again when Juan Williams attempted to attack former Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, who has just accepted a job as a strategist for Trump when he assumes the White House. Juan Williams made the disgusting claim that Conway is being a bad mother for taking the job. Its funny, we were talking with Juan Williams earlier, and he was questioning, Well, Kellyanne has four kids. Hows she going to do it? Maria Bartiromo told Conway in a recent appearance on Fox. Conway was quick to point out the bigotry in his statement. I would say that I dont play a lot of golf and I dont have a mistress, so I have a lot of time that a lot of these other men dont, Conway fired back. I see people on the weekend spending an awful lot of time on their golf games and thats their right, but the kids will be with me, we live in the same house, and they come first. Everyone has to do whats best for their family and thats why I didnt jump immediately on a position that was offered to me early in the transition because theres a lot to weigh, she continued. My children are 12, 12, 8 and 7, but I certainly hope too that we continue the conversation as a nation about the balance that many men and women face. What do you think? Is this a brilliant response on Conways part?

3	Americas Outrageous Ultimatum: Syria as the Libya of the LevantBy Tony Cartalucci Yet despite all of this, according to the Associate Press (AP) in their article, Kerry warns Assad to start transition by Aug. 1 or else, the United States fully expects Damascus to concede to a political transition engineered by Washington, leaving the nation in the hands of verified terrorists linked directly to the political and militant forces currently laying waste to Libya and those nations that put them into power. The article reports: Secretary of State John Kerry warned Syrias government and its backers in Moscow and Tehran on Tuesday that they face an August deadline for starting a political transition to move President Bashar Assad out, or they risk the consequences of a new U.S. approach toward ending the 5-year-old civil war. AP would also claim: its unlikely that the Obama administration, so long opposed to an active American combat role in Syria, would significantly boost its presence beyond the 300 special forces it has authorized thus far in the heart of a U.S. presidential election season. More feasible might be U.S. allies like Saudi Arabia giving the rebels new weapons to fight Assad, such as portable surface-to-air missiles. Again, the US is making demands of Syrias government and its backers in Moscow while it is openly allied with Saudi Arabia who is admittedly backing US State Department-listed foreign terrorist organizations including the Al Nusra Front quite literally Al Qaeda in Syria and Iraq. This point has inconveniently surfaced even across the Wests own media, including the Independent in an article titled, Turkey and Saudi Arabia alarm the West by backing Islamist extremists the Americans had bombed in Syria. In it states that: Turkey and Saudi Arabia are actively supporting a hardline coalition of Islamist rebels against Bashar al-Assads regime that includes al-Qaedas affiliate in Syria, in a move that has alarmed Western governments. The two countries are focusing their backing for the Syrian rebels on the combined Jaish al-Fatah, or the Army of Conquest, a command structure for jihadist groups in Syria that includes Jabhat al-Nusra, an extremist rival to Isis which shares many of its aspirations for a fundamentalist caliphate. Despite superficial attempts to portray Al Nusra at arms length from Saudi Arabia, and thus from Saudi Arabias closest and most valuable ally, Washington, the inseparable nature of those the US and Saudi Arabia are supporting and those they claim not to support is documented fact. Considering the verified nature of the so-called opposition in Syria and the verifiable nature of what US foreign policy has done to Libya leaving it to this day in the hands of state-sponsored terrorist organizations including the notorious Islamic State or ISIS what the US is essentially demanding of Syria and its allies is capitulation to Al Qaeda. It is a surreal full-circle US foreign policy has made, from first creating Al Qaeda in the late 1980s jointly with Saudi Arabia and elements within the Pakistani government, then claiming to have been struck egregiously by the terrorist organization on September 11, 2001 triggering over a decade of very profitable war, before finally arriving in Libya and Syria beginning in 2011 where once again US politicians found themselves standing shoulder-to-shoulder with literal commanders of Al Qaeda and its affiliates, waging proxies wars against their collective enemies. Indeed, US Senator John McCain would find himself in a Libya utterly devastated by NATO at the end of 2011, shaking hands with the commander of US State Department-listed foreign terrorist organization, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) literally Al Qaeda in Libya. The LIFG commander, Abdelhakim Belhadj, had at one point been arrested by the US before being handed over to the Libyan government and imprisoned for his terrorism. Syria is undoubtedly being overrun by heavily armed and extremely dangerous terrorists backed by foreign powers. These are terrorists that have proven already in Libya, that upon coming to power, they will first carry out genocide against their ethnic and political enemies, then transform Syria into a devastated wasteland and springboard for terrorism and proxy war elsewhere in the region likely Iran and then southern Russia.Syrias only clear course of action is to resist and defeat these terrorist factions and restore order within the nations boundaries. It must do this by interdicting terrorists and their supplies along the Turkish-Syrian border in the north, and the Jordanian-Syrian border in the south. It is abundantly clear that the terrorists operating within Syria cannot sustain their fighting capacity without significant and constant logistical support from their foreign sponsors beyond Syrias borders. This fact alone, undermines the legitimacy of the so-called uprising and civil war in Syria that upon closer examination is clearly a proxy invasion. The US itself, in its own military manuals (MCWP 3-35.3) regarding combat operations, states in reference to defeating terrorism that: In countering this threat, [it should be determined] whether it is internally or externally directed terrorism. Terrorism rooted externally must be severed from its roots. Against internal terrorism, [attempts should be made] to penetrate the infrastructure and destroy the leadership of the terrorist groups. The US has already boasted of having struck hard at the leadership of various terrorist groups in Syria it claims to be at war with, yet these groups appear unfazed. This is precisely because the terrorism is being direct externally, from Turkey and Jordan where the US itself has based its forces for its ongoing Syrian operations. The clear and obvious course of action for the US is to identify the roots of this externally directed terrorism and sever them. However, the US refuses to do this. Instead, even as it continues its feigned war against terrorism in Syria, it is doubling down on support for its proxies, including Turkey, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, who in turn, are harboring, arming, funding, training, and directly supporting the very terrorist groups the US claims to be fighting. US Secretary of State John Kerry threatens a new approach by the US in Syria, if Syria does not capitulate to what is essentially the end of its existence as a functioning nation-state. The new approach is likely simply the continuation of existing plans to incrementally invade and occupy Syrian territory, particularly in the east through the infiltration of Iraq-based Kurds operating under US proxy Masoud Barzani, as well as to trigger a cross-border incident north of Aleppo by using their ISIS proxies to attack Turkish targets reminisced of staged attacks Ankara had planned earlier during the war to justify the invasion and occupation of northern Syria. Warning the world of the success Americas previous political transitions have wrought in Libya or Iraq, and raising awareness of the current nature of US-Saudi support for Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups in Syria today, is essential in undermining the legitimacy and authority upon which the US is attempting to base its demands directed at Damascus. The demands are illegitimate and the authority they are made with constitutes not principles nor rule of law, but naked and unjust aggression that must be resisted today lest it succeed and set a precedent for further acts of injustice against other nations tomorrow. Tony Cartalucci, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook. A desperate need for war, calls for desperate measures to provoke one. Terrorism literally by definition. Thus sprach Kerrystein. Take out SAUDI OIL FIELDS, TURKISH AIR FORCE CARPET BOMB ISIS/NUSRA ALONG ALL BORDERS. .How the United States presumes to possess the authority. is never explained by US Secretary of State John Kerry Its about LIBERATION ! LOL Lurch and his minions puppeting the world. It was begun by GHWBush with Israeli and Saudi entourage. When I see her drooping eyes casting about, I think of a hungry Succubus looking for yet another male soul the likes of Gadhafi to kill/consume for the heinous crime of creating a gold-based currency rather than sink his nation/people into the Central Bank Abyss. Watching the game and anxiously looking for whom the Kardashians are bedding this week. Theres a price to pay for a nation allowing itself to crawl into bed w/The Synagogue. 
3	CDC whistleblowers confession: his personal safety is still an issueJon Rappoport Thompsons official statement was released through his Cincinnati attorney, Rick Morgan. The key piece in Thompsons statement is: 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. My concern has been the decision to omit relevant findings in a particular study for a particular sub group for a particular vaccine. There have always been recognized risks for vaccination and I believe it is the responsibility of the CDC to properly convey the risks associated with receipt of those vaccines. Everything else in Thompsons statement is backfill and back-pedaling and legal positioning and self-protection. But this part, this is big. Within Thompsons community of researchers and the general world of medical research and publishing, people know what it means. It means major fraud. Thompson, a co-author of the 2004 study, published in the prestigious journal Pediatrics, is admitting to egregious fraud. Cooking the data. (Here are the authors and the name and reference number of the study in question: DeStefano F, Bhasin TK, Thompson WW, Yeargin-Allsopp M, Boyle C. Age at first measles-mumps-rubella vaccination in children with autism and school-matched control subjects: a population-based study in metropolitan atlanta. Pediatrics. 2004;3:259266. The link to this study is here.) In particular, omitting data which showed that African-American male babies who received the MMR vaccine were at a 340% increased risk of autism. Omitting the data concealed this alarming fact from African-American families; and it also skewed the overall conclusion of the study, in order to exonerate the toxic MMR vaccine and give it a free pass. You would be hard-pressed to find a researcher of Thompsons reputation and position who has ever come out and confessed: My colleagues and I committed fraud; we published the fraud; we stood by the fraud for 10 years. Scandal. Major scandal. It directly indicts Thompsons co-authors of the 2004 study, including the lead author, Frank DeStefano, who is also a CDC executive in charge of vaccine safety issues. Now add to that: concealing the dangers of the MMR vaccine for ten years has resulted in untold numbers of cases of autism that could have been prevented. Damaged lives of children. Damaged families. Again, this is not someone coming in from the outside to criticize a published study. This is one of the co-authors of the study. Thompson was there in 2004. He knows what happened. He participated, along with his colleagues, in a cover-up. His co-authors are all recognized figures in the world of vaccine research: DeStefano; Tanya Karapurkar-Bhasin; Marshalyn Yeargin-Allsop; and Coleen Boyle. They have all defended the safety of vaccines in other studies, which are now thrown into doubt. As in: dominoes falling. Add these factors up and you get: front-page news. You get a retraction of the 2004 study by Pediatrics, the journal that published it. You get at least a cosmetic investigation of CDC practices by an outside special prosecutor. You at least get a cosmetic Congressional hearing. You get statements from Thompsons co-authors. (So far, only Frank DeStefano has commented publicly, to reporter Sharyl Attkisson. His stuttering remarks are so garbled and nonsensical, they belong in a bad parody of science-speak.) What have we gotten as a result of whistleblower Thompsons confession? From official sources: nothing of note. Zero. From the mainstream press: nothing. Barely a whisper of coverage. As I reported the other day, CNN ran a piece in which they called on co-author-of-fraud, DeStefano himself, to comment on the fraud, as if he were an outside objective expert. Thats quite a piece of journalism. DeStefano promptly invented a yarn about autism developing in utero, thus proving that vaccines couldnt be responsible for autism. William Thompson still has his job at the CDC. He has his lawyer, Rick Morgan. He undoubtedly has more knowledge and leads concerning fraud and lying about vaccines at the CDC. Now we come to the issue of Thompsons personal safety. Apparently, there are people who take him seriously when he writes in his August 27 confession: My colleagues and supervisors at the CDC have been entirely professional since this matter became public. In fact, I received a performance-based award after this story came out. I have experienced no pressure or retaliation and certainly was not escorted from the building, as some have stated. Thompsons colleagues and supervisors at the CDC have been entirely professional because theyre in a box. Thompsons name is out there. Even before his name was out there, his anonymous audio confession was available online, and Dr. Brian Hooker, to whom he confessed, and Andrew Wakefield knew who he was. In fact, many people knew the title of the fraudulent 2004 study, and anyone could read the names of the authors and figure out the identity of the whistleblower. Thompson was actually getting protection from online alternative media. Making it more difficult for the CDC to take punitive action against him. And what about Thompsons claim that he received a performance-based honorary CDC award since the story came out? An award based on what? His exposure of fraud at the CDC? You mean someone took an old photo of Thompson and typed under it, Good work, Bill? If this award referred to other work Thompson did before the scandal blew up, it was given to him, rather than canceled, for appearances sake only. As if to say: The CDC welcomes internal criticism from its own employees. If you believe that, I have condos for sale on Jupiter. Thompson claims he was not escorted from the campus at the CDC, once the scandal began to blow up. I wrote that he was escorted off the scene. I consider the source on this reliable. I relayed this information to another source close to Thompson, who said he hadnt heard that, but that Thompson had a problem with security guards at the CDC campus. There are actually people who believe Thompson has sailed through this whole scandal, so far, with nary a single problem at his workplace, the CDC, and that the CDC is a peachy keen place for employees and is eager to correct its own mistakes. Its all very professional and wonderful, and when an internal whistleblower confesses to a very serious crime of fraud, the boys and girls gather around a table and say, Gee, Bill, show us exactly where an error was made in this study, so we can examine it. We just want to get things right. If that were true, why was William Thompson hiding in the shadows for 10 years? Why did he only come out when his identity was revealed by others? Yes, revealed by others. Here are Thompsons own words on that subject, from his August 27th public statement: nor was I given any choice regarding whether my name would be made public or my voice would be put on the Internet. Thompson is admitting he was outed. This is very much like saying, I would have stayed anonymous forever, if I hadnt been dragged into the light. Now, look at yet another remark Thompson made in his public confession, and decide whether this is sheer PR, written to assuage his employers at the CDC and protect himself from blowback and harm: I would never suggest that any parent avoid vaccinating children of any race. Really, Bill? Let me get this straight. You buried data which showed a 340% increased risk of autism, in African-American male babies, after they received the MMR vaccinebut African-American parents should continue to submit their babies to the MMR vaccine. Right? Because of Thompsons claim that he and the CDC are on the same page, others have concluded that Thompson is in no danger. The professionals are working out the scientific problems and all is well. How nave. How incredibly nave. The CDC is a PR agency for the pharmaceutical cartel. That is its real function. You can bet CDC executives are keeping their pharmaceutical betters in the loop on The Thompson Affair. Hundreds of billions of vaccine dollars are at stake. Thompson knows, by going public, he has done something no researcher is supposed to do. Hes cast grave suspicion on his co-authors and on the CDC, to whom hes taken an oath of silence. Hes broken that oath. Violating omerta carries consequences. William Thompson is claiming he wont talk to reporters. That was also part of his August 27th statement. Well see if he holds to this promise. He and his lawyer may discover talking to reporters is his only option. For the sake of protection. If Thompson comes out, hed better insist on a live, uncensored, uncut video interviewdone simultaneously in front of several different crews, uploaded in real time to dozens of sites, whereupon it can travel around the world in a matter of seconds. And his security had better be excellent. If he plans to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

3	Profile of a Police StateStephen Lendman, Contributor Homeland repression is policy. Police state laws target resisters. Elections are farcical, rigged, and illegitimate. People have no say. Corporate-controlled electronic voting machines decide for them. Money power is firmly in charge. Democracy is illusory, not real. Corporate/party boss-run Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) members exclude alternative voices. Money power operates secretly with no public oversight. A sham process repeats each electoral cycle. Alternative party presidential candidates risk arrest for showing up to watch debates. Participation is out of the question. On October 16, Green Party presidential and vice presidential candidates learned firsthand. Jill Stein and Cheri Honkala were arrested, detained, and held handcuffed uncomfortably to metal chairs for hours in a remote police warehouse. They were charged with obstructing traffic. None at the time was visible. Thats how tyranny works. Challenging authority risks prison or worse. Many are tortured and abused. Some end up dead. Obama appointed himself judge, jury and executioner. He decides who lives or dies. Romney wont change a thing. No matter who wins, expect police state America to be more repressive than ever post-election. If presidential challengers can be arrested and abused, what chance have ordinary people. Step out of line and expect the worst. Stein learned firsthand a second time. Her web site explained. In east Texas, she was arrested and handcuffed for bringing food, Halloween candy, and supplies. She was detained in Wood County jail. Authorities charged her with criminal trespassing. She and others were involved. They were not warned of imminent arrests; and the arresting officers did not self-identify as police. Stein said shes willing to face arrest in support of blocking KXL. Its a controversial 1,661-mile Alberta, Canada to Port Arthur, TX pipeline. Earlier, hundreds of environmental activists protested in front of the White House against it. If completed, itll carry toxic tar sands oil from Western Canada to refineries on Americas Gulf coast. Itll pass through environmentally sensitive areas in six states. They include waterways and the Ogallala Aquifer. Its one of the worlds largest. In America, it supplies about 30% of the nations irrigation ground water. Its also used for human consumption. Friends of the Earth says Keystone XL will carry one of the worlds dirtiest fuels: tar sands oil. Moreover, its route could devastate ecosystems and pollute water sources, and would jeopardize public health. If completed, itll double Americas dirty tar sands oil supply. At the same time, environmental toxicity will increase exponentially. No matter the stakes, Big Oil wants it. So do Republicans and many Democrats. Obama once again conceded. TransCanada Corporation is building it. Its spill-prone construction record assures trouble. It promised its Keystone I pipeline would leak once every seven years. In year one, it leaked 12 times or once a month on average. It was unprecedented in US pipeline history. TarSandsBlockade.org asks Why Oppose KXL? For many reasons, it states. NASA scientist James Hansen calls it a fuse to the largest carbon bomb on the planet. All pipelines spill. Avoidance is impossible. Large-scale environmental damage is too great a price to pay. TransCanada said up to 700,000 gallons of tar sands crude could leak without detection. In other words, safeguards are weak and ineffective. Pipeline construction abuses eminent domain. TransCanada intimidated landowners along its route to contractually accede to its demands. In addition, the company fraudulently steals land from private citizens through eminent domain. Water contamination is certain. The Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer (CWA) is threatened. In March 2011, water resources environmental engineer/consultant Lawrence Dunbar said CWA spillage would be environmentally disastrous. Human and natural resources would be impacted. Release of enough tar sands contaminants would make affected water resources unfit for human consumption. CWA is one of the greatest assets of the East-Central region of Texas. It provides water for agriculture, industry, and human consumption and use. Its far too valuable to contaminate. KXL assures it. Remediation would be hard to impossible to achieve. According to Cornell Universitys Global Labor Institute, KXL will also destroy more jobs than it creates. Its September 2011 Pipe Dreams? report said job creation claims lack credibility. At best up to 4,650 temporary ones will be created. In two years or less theyll be gone. KXL will not be a major source of US jobs, nor will it play any substantial role at all in putting Americans back to work. Moreover, diverting tar sands oil now supplying Midwest refineries, so it can be sold at higher prices to the Gulf Coast and export markets (means) Midwest (consumers) could be paying 10 to 20 cents more per gallon for gasoline and diesel fuel. Doing so will adversely impact other spending and cost jobs. KXL will also have a chilling effect on green investments and green jobs creation. Thus far, green economic spending generated 2.7 million jobs in the US and could generate many more. In addition, Tar Sands oil and energy independence really do not belong in the same sentence. Cornell, the Natural Resources Defense Council and other independent assessments say KXL assures higher gas prices. Exporting tar sands oil wont reduce US dependence on foreign supplies. Prioritizing exports is planned. At issue is selling at the highest possible price. KXL violates tribal sovereignty. The Indigenous Environmental Networks Mother Earth Accord supports and urges opposition to tar sands development. At issue is preserving the integrity of US and Canadian First Nations and tribal lands. TransCanada wont disclose an analysis of chemical dilutants used to facilitate transporting tar sands oil through KXL. At issue are human and environmentally destructive substances. The Pipeline Hazardous Material Safety Administration told Congress that pipeline regulations werent crafted with tar sands oil in mind. Theyre woefully inadequate and require strengthening. At a time of deregulatory extremism, dont expect it. The State Department, not EPA, conducted KXLs Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Hillary Clinton has close ties to TransCanada lobbyist Paul Elliot. He was one of her main 2008 presidential campaign officials. EIS analysis was rigged. Its methodology lacked credibility. Results claimed minimal environmental contamination risk. KXLs southern area Gulf Coast Project failed to conduct its own environmental assessment. Issues related to the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer, wildfires, droughts, and others werent examined. Even independent presidential candidates challenging a system this corrupt, venal and dysfunctional risk arrest, abuse, and possible imprisonment. On November 6, consider your options.

3	Are Checkpoint Officers Learning The Constitution?YouTube Hat Tip: Before Its News 
3	Your Cells, Their Proteins and SuperfoodsHeather Callaghan Whats cellular protein got to do with it? A whole lot! Turns out, you can influence it with food. In order to drum up more money for research and drugs, researchers also kind of have to admit the power of food. Below, Id like to show two recent, similar but unrelated studies about how cells deal with protein production and disease. One of them demonstrates a type of protective protein and how nutrients from superfoods influence it to keep watch over cells. With all of this information one can see some patterns: a tipping point that leads to disease manifestation, either a clogging of or lack of protein at the cellular level, and how nutrient dense foods play a role in rebalancing the cell. From Study Number #1 Cells put off protein production during times of [cellular] stress High error rate on production line triggers slowdown Living cells are like miniature factories, responsible for the production of more than 25,000 different proteins with very specific 3-D shapes. And just as an overwhelmed assembly line can begin making mistakes, a stressed cell can end up producing misshapen proteins that are unfolded or misfolded. Now Duke University researchers in North Carolina and Singapore have shown that the cell recognizes the buildup of these misfolded proteins and responds by reshuffling its workload, much like a stressed out employee might temporarily move papers from an overflowing inbox into a junk drawer. The study, which appears Sept. 11, 2014 in Cell, could lend insight into diseases that result from misfolded proteins piling up, such as Alzheimers disease, ALS, Huntingtons disease, Parkinsons disease, and type 2 diabetes. Christopher V. Nicchitta, Ph.D said: The general architecture and workflow of these cellular factories has been understood for decades. First, DNAs master blueprint, which is locked tightly in the nucleus of each cell, is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA). Then this working copy travels to the ribosomes standing on the surface of a larger accordion-shaped structure called the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The ribosomes on the ER are tiny assembly lines that translate the mRNAs into proteins. When a cell gets stressed, either by overheating or starvation, its proteins no longer fold properly. These unfolded proteins can set off an alarm called the unfolded protein response or UPR to slow down the assembly line and clean up the improperly folded products. Nicchitta wondered if the stress response might also employ other tactics to deal with the problem. The researchers found that when the cells were stressed, they quickly moved mRNAs from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cytosol. Once the stress was resolved, the mRNAs went back to their spots on the production floor of the endoplasmic reticulum. Nicchitta said: From Study #2 New superfoods could help key protein keep bodies healthy A new generation of new superfoods that tackle heart disease and diabetes could be developed following research into a protein that helps keep cells in our bodies healthy. Researchers at the University of Warwick (UK) found that the protein, called Nrf2, continually moves in and out of the nuclei of human cells to sense the cells health and vitality. When Nrf2 is exposed to threats to the cells health it oscillates faster and activates an increase in the cells defence mechanism, including raising the levels of antioxidant. The researchers, from the Universitys Warwick Medical School, successfully increased the speed of Nrf2s movement by artificially introducing health beneficial substances potential components of new superfoods. The beneficial substances comprise broccoli-derived sulforaphane and quercetin, which is found in high-levels in onions. [helpful for immunity and fighting allergies] Published by Antioxidants and Redox Signalling, the research investigated the ways in which compounds in fruit and vegetables keep humans healthy. The research team are the first to record the continual movement cycle of Nrf2, which sees the protein oscillate in and out of the cell nucleus once every 129 minutes. When stimulated by a health beneficial vegetable-derived substance Nrf2s cycle sped up to 80 minutes. Professor Paul Thornalley said: *End excerpts* The researchers in study number one wanted more answers and appeared to be interested in ways to artificially manipulate the cell for future use in medicine. The second studys researchers, while supporting the role of nutrient dense foods, wanted to develop nutraceuticals, drugs and newer, engineered foods. Dr. Terry Wahls used studies, and scaled the doses of superfoods given to mice to a human of her weight and size in order to reverse her MS. Im hoping that by having this information one can see not only the magnificence of cells vs. disease, but that the body is actually equipped to heal with the right tools before succumbing to and becoming dependent to the intended methods presented by the researchers.

3	What Will Follow the Death of the Petrodollar?Dave Hodges The winds of change are blowing across our once great land of opportunity. America is merely a shell of what it once was. We do not need economic prognosticators or fortune tellers to predict what lies ahead. Ray Charles could see what lies ahead. The globalists are making their move. At the present moment, the bankers are gobbling up as many hard assets inside the United States as possible. There is a race against the clock, because the economic bomb planted by Wall Street in 2008 is set to go off and the currency is on the verge of collapsing. Consequently, a desperate America will be forced into wars of conquest to preserve what little bit is left of its economic destiny. The United States has debt, crushing debt, which makes the former Weimar Republic look solvent by comparison. Unfortunately, the United States abandoned the gold standard a long time ago. What then keeps our economy from degenerating into a trading and bartering society resulting from a collapsed dollar? Despite the economic pain associated with the enormous debt caused by the Wall Street contrived Ponzi schemes associated with the now infamous derivatives, Americas economy has proven to be very resilient. However, if the artificial global dollar demand, made possible by the Petrodollar system, were ever to crumble, our days of economic dominance would abruptly end and the resulting economic chaos would be followed by the need to impose martial law on a starving public. Again, tens of millions of Americans will die in this scenario. Further desperate and out of money, WWIII looms in the future. The following clip explains why we attacked Iraq and Libya and how this fits into to todays Petrodollar crisis. The invasion of Syria is underway. Iran is next. Challenging the Petrodollar and the Roots For WWIII Unfortunately for every man, woman and child in America, that day of economic reckoning is quickly approaching. China has commenced buying Iranian oil in gold. India has followed suit, as have the Russians. The days of the Petrodollar are numbered and, therefore, so is the only source of backing of our dollar. Have you and your family prepared for the collapse of the dollar and ultimately the collapse of society? Like most Americans who have awakened from their slumber, I came to realize that the Federal Reserve Board is responsible for most of the evil perpetrated in the world and I personally loathe the organization. It is hard not to cheer the fact that the days of Federal Reserve Board dominance may be coming to an abrupt end. Yet, I would advise against popping the corks on the champagne bottles because, like it or not, Americas economic fortunes are tied to the health of the dollar and our precious dollar has come down with a terminal economic case of the Asian flu. If the Federal Reserve crashes and burns, so will everything that you have ever worked for. If the Federal Reserve collapses over this impending crisis, the resulting economic holocaust will make the United States unrecognizable within a very short time and your personal fortunes will sink right along with these notorious robber barons who are feverishly involved in stealing as many home mortgages as possible through schemes like the robosigners of MERS. The Federal Reserve, the same people who perpetrated the MERS fraud, is also involved in buying up mortgage backed securities to the tune of $40 billion per month, each and every month, in an attempt to garner the lions share of the housing industry. The Federal Reserve is preparing to install feudalism following the currency collapse. How would you like to rent your own house from the bankers that are preparing to steal it from you? This is exactly what has been set into motion. If you didnt hear, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals made it legal for the banks to steal your deposits. The banks and government of Cyprus (is there a difference?) are preparing to steal depositors money which is a beta test for the big prize: personal United States banking accounts. Dont think for a moment that these events are not contrived by the bankers to get as much as they can, of the publics assets, in as short of time as possible in this time of crisis. The banksters clearly know what is coming and they are in the process of stealing your assets in order to soften the blow of a collapsing dollar, and their Golden Parachute will be awarded to them courtesy of your hard-earned assets. Surely, there must be something that can be done to avert this coming train wreck? Cant the United States simply employ economic sanctions and force Iran to its knees? Without the cooperation of Russia, China and India, economic sanctions and an oil embargo will not be effective and, subsequently, the United States cannot force Iranians back to the negotiating table over the oil issue. The situation is somewhat reminiscent with happened in the lead-up to the 2003 Gulf War when Iraq tried its hand at circumventing the Petrodollar system with under-the-table deals with France and Germany in which the Euro would be used to purchase oil. Saddam Hussein underestimated the Federal Reserve Boards reach and paid for this miscalculation with his life because he did not have the support of powerful military allies. Iran is quite a different matter as they have friends, very dangerous friends who mean America harm. If the United States seeks to reverse the trend which seeks the abandonment of the Petrodollar system, war seems to be the only option left to the bankers. Logic would seem to dictate that the military option will be employed and, therefore, it should be a simple matter to ratchet up the rhetoric and seize the Iranian oil fields and force capitulation. Subsequently,shouldntthe United States dust off an old familiar game plan and create a false flag event, similar to the Gulf of Tonkin? Undoubtedly, this is what the Federal Reserve desires in a last ditch effort to save the Petrodollar system. However, an act of war needs a pretext. Therefore, we can count on the fact that a series of false flag attacks will be utilized by Federal Reserve friends at the CIA in order to justify the coming war with Iran. I predict that we will see previously unimaginable false flag attacks which will be falsely pinned on Iranian-based terrorism. This is when the National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order comes into play and Obama will conscript people and resources in a last ditch effort to save the Petrodollar in World War III The Globalist Plan Unveiled Interestingly, the globalists have left clues which clearly signal their intentions, as well as a fair amount of their game plan. In order to inflict maximum casualties for the desired emotional reaction from the American people, namely fear and submission, malls and sports stadiums are conspicuously effective targets for imaginary terrorists, especially when one considers that theSimon Property Group, the largest owner of malls in North America, as well as all of the professional sports leagues have just entered into a See Something, Say Something partnershipwith the Department of Homeland Security. When one considers the massive purchase made by DHS of 7.5 million pounds of ammonium nitrate, which was used to blow up the Oklahoma City Federal Building, it does not take much foresight or skill in dot-connecting to see where this scenario is heading. For the unaware, the false flag strategy has already become operational as Libyan Ambassador Stevens death was merely the first of these false flag attacks which will be used to chart a course for war against Iran and its neighbor, Syria. And why is Syria being destabilized? Because it is the doorway which is needed to attack Russia with medium- and long-range weapons. Creating the pretext for fighting a war, and then successfully selling the American public on the need to fight the war, is one thing. However, winning the war, is quite another. How serious are the Chinese and Russians at standing up to the imperialistic United States? Considering that both Chinese President Hu and Major General Zhang Zhaozhong have threatened the United States with nuclear war if they invade either Iran or Syria. The prudent opinion says that this is the newest version of the Axis of Evils line in the sand. China, India and Russia have pinned their economic futures on the fact that they are divorcing themselves from the debt-ridden dollar and are charting a new economic course with gold as the baseline. They are not going to back down. Legitimate Threats of War To put muscle behind the collective defiance to the Petrodollar system, China brags that it can place 100 million men on the battlefield. Russia maintains over 1300 nuclear missiles and India joined the nuclear weapons fraternity a long time ago. As you read these words, you may be wondering if the conflict would escalate into a nuclear confrontation. I have a hard time imagining a situation in which the losing side would not resort to the use of tactical nuclear weapons as a best-case scenario. Ask yourself, if your country was faced with economic and military obliteration at the prospect of losing World War III, what would the losing side gain by keeping their nuclear missiles sitting quietly in their respective bunkers? The Federal Reserve Is Positioning to Weather the Coming Storm Is the Federal Reserve-controlled United States government really insane enough to launch such a dangerous and potentially catastrophic war? The better question is, what do they have to lose? In the past, the Fed has created fortunes through OPM, other peoples money. They will employ the same strategy in WWW III, as the Federal Reserve will prosecute this war with your money and risk your adult children to carry out their last-ditch fanatical mission designed to save the Federal Reserve. Formerly, India was purchasing 12 billion dollars per year for the privilege to purchase oil and we loved India all the way to the bank. Unfortunately, India has joined the revolt against the Petrodollar by starting to buy Irans oil with gold. And the situation has even worsened as it appears that China has begun to monetize gold which could spell the end of the fiat currencies in the United States and the EU. The Petrodollar is doomed and so is our way of life unless America can make the Iranians capitulate and stick to the antiquated Petrodollar system. Must We Sleep With the Federal Reserve? I never thought I would be on the same side of an issue as I am with the Federal Reserve because the alternatives are not pleasant. On one hand, we can enter a dangerous war which threatens our very existence. On the other hand, we face an economic holocaust of epic proportions. And even if we are lucky enough to survive the coming war with our economy intact, the American people face the prospects of runaway inflationary effects of QE3 which has no monetary or time limits. Of course, we could have developed alternative energy sources for which the world would have been beating a path to our door, but that would not have suited the oil-dominated Federal Reserve. There is one other possibility, debt repudiation. Over 90% of the debt of modern sovereign nations is derived from the failed banking scams in which the globalists have coerced national governments to assume their debts inside of their national budgets. Therefore, short of capitulation to the globalists, the simple answer seems to be to repudiate the debt owed to these gangsters consisting of all mortgages, all credit card debts and all student loans. All debts must be written off and let the Wall Street cards fall where they may. Conclusion Meanwhile, the chess pieces are being placed on the game board in preparation for WWIII.If we, as a country submit to the will of the bankers, tens of millions of us will die. Many think we can change course by changing our elected officials. I wish that were true and I continue to pay lip service to this end. However, I believe, as do many of you do, that this is a fools errand. The American people need to draw a line in the sand because the stakes have never been higher. More on our options in Part Two.

3	Europe Proposes Confiscating Gold, Cash, Bitcoin, And Prepaid Cards To Fight Terrorist FinancingBy Claire Bernish These confiscations and strictures around personal wealth would be part of the European Unions action plan against terrorist financing, proposed following the terrorist attacks on Paris in November 2015 except the impetus to apply the measures came when a truck plowed through a bustling Christmas market in Berlin on December 19, killing 12 people and injuring scores more. It appears the Commission surreptitiously proposed tighter controls on cash and precious metals after the market attack but in just before the holidays possibly to avoid an acrimonious backlash. Reuters reports: Under the new proposals, customs officials in European Union states can step up checks on cash and prepaid payment cards sent by post or in freight shipments. But travelers to Europe wont avoid the clamp down, as the report continues: Authorities will also be able to seize cash or precious metals carried by suspect individuals entering the EU. People carrying more than 10,000 euros [slightly over $10,450] in cash already have to declare this at customs when entering the EU. The new rules would allow authorities to seize money below that threshold where there are suspicions of criminal activity, the EU executive commission said in a note. (emphasis added) Officials from the European Union claimed terrorists executed recent attacks with small budgets sometimes financed by criminal organizations located elsewhere thus the perfect justification to restrict cash and precious metals presented itself with the attack in Berlin. According to Reuters, the European Commission is debating whether to implement an EU-specific terrorist finance tracking programme to mirror one already in place between the EU and the United States, which, Reuters notes, has long been opposed by EU lawmakers and privacy campaigners because it allows widespread checks on consumers bank transfers. Interesting, the U.S. Department of Treasury upon implementation of the American terrorist financial tracking plan wrote what seems, in retrospect, as if it were trying to convince itself of the plans merit, stating: This is exactly the kind of program that Americans want and expect from their government to prevent further terrorist attacks. But the Commission didnt stop there. Also proposed are common rules among the 28 member nations to freeze terrorists financial resources and confiscating the financial assets of anyone even thought to be associated with criminals. But the European Commissions plans get even darker from there, because despite the ostensible targeting of terrorists and criminals its proposals leave innocent citizens at risk of being unjustly accused and losing significant personal wealth. To wit, anyone who wishes to make a payment of 150.00 [$156.85] or more using a prepaid card will be forced to show identification in order to complete the transaction. Reuters explains the plans complement previous proposals following the Paris attacks seeking to tighten controls on virtual currencies such as bitcoin, and prepaid cards, which French authorities said were used to fund the bombings. Another proposal proffered in this putative fight against terrorism criminalizes money laundering for the first time particularly in regard to virtual currency and the EU will study whether bitcoin should be more strictly regulated. Note the undertones in these proposals say nothing of first identifying individual criminals or terrorist cells, and proceeding to address only their finances rather, the proposals cover everyone, all citizens intimating the true targets are the assets of ordinary Europeans, whether intentionally or as a casualty of the repressive measures. There are clear signs that in a very convoluted way, possession of gold for investment purposes will be made illegal, Zero Hedge warned. Expect capital controls to follow. While any one of this group of proposals would make advocates of personal liberty cringe, every one of the 28 member nations has backed the plan it now awaits approval from the European Parliament. In the future, all EU member states will recognize the seizure of terrorists assets or the freezing of accounts in every EU country, asserted EU Justice Commissioner Vera Jourova, according to Deutsche-Welle. Accounts will be frozen within 48 hours of notice being given, Jourova explained, adding, Loopholes must be closed. Overbearing and unusually restrictive, it hasnt been made clear by any officials whether the proposed measures would be effective at shutting down terrorist networks or even preventing a single attack. Yet gold, precious metals, cash, bitcoin, prepaid cards over basically $150, and bank accounts, particularly if you are unusually wealthy, could now be seized by the State at a moments notice and without warning if the government has so much as an inkling youre up to no good. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Fighting terrorism- thats a good one! An oldie but a goodie. The best way to prevent terrorism is by not arming and funding them in the first place. Better yet, dont destroy these peoples countries (see Iraq, Libya, Syria) as that often leads people to become terrorists in the first place. Could their REAL reason be to impoverish everyone a la Agenda 21? We cant have people having non electronic money. They have this and they are outside of the control of the banks. Given the enormous credit bubble that is soon to pop we dont want the sheeple to be able to protect their wealth. No. We want them in dire poverty so we can squeeze them mercilessly because they are helpless to fight back. Dont believe me? Read their own writings!! Or we could simply expel Islam and all of its Death Cultists Americans have been allowing illegal and unconscionable Forfeitures for decades. I believe that New Mexico may be one of the only States to make an effort to stop the illegality and abuse of Forfeitures. 90% of Forfeitures end up in the hands of Law Enforcement, and 90% of those monies cannot be accounted for. The point being that whatever the EU or any other country is doing to confiscate, it has been done in the US for decades and Americans have just sat on their thumbs deliberately indifferent to the very same outrage. Americans are such freedom fighters and always boasting about their right to bear arms but in reality they are utter and abject cowards. All talk, no substance. Im surprised they voted Trump in. As for the EU, it will collapse sooner rather than later and all the unelected commissars will be lynched randomly and at the peoples pleasure when they least expect it. History is always repeating itself, ALWAYS! Well said. And, that includes all of the so called Pro-Gun, Pro-2nd Amendment groups raising money for themselves. There are plenty of cases they could support that relate directly to the right of self defense and the right of open carry, but they are too greedy and covetous to spend any money actually supporting the few brave souls who have been sacrificed to the anti-gun zealots. I was always of the understanding that robbers wore masks, but it would appeare that this is no longer required they just change their profession to politicians. L.OL. This is The hunt for cash or indirect taxation if you wish. The usury fiat money paradigm is in its death throes and the western governments know it, theyre cash strapped. Interest rates at near zero for a decade and even negative for some institutional investors. Fear of increasing these as the debt repayment on government borrowing would become un- serviceable. Meanwhile, pension funds etc are in danger of becoming insolvent due to lack of return. No-one knows when the crash and burn will happen, but were nearer the end game than the start and when it does start, it will contagion geometrically. That no one may buy or sell, save he that had the Mark. Those in authority to do so then would do better to seize the assets of the national governments financing, arming, training and otherwise abetting terrorism. As in the pseudo war n drugs the biggest culprits are the entities yelling the loudest, bankers and the states they operate. This is just the creeping incrementalism of globalism and a return to feudalism under modern technologies. A Brave New World with Orwellian controls. Excuse do you really believe they are concerned about terror. Bitcoin and other pre paid means, could be used to by pass the banks, when they crash the currency and make it worthless, forcing you to be in planted with the micro chip, so that is why they are attacking this see right through their little game and are many steps ahead of them. The only way to stop terror is first get out of their country, stop providing them with weapons. Look at the shameful mess that has been created in Iraq, Libya, The planet is run by mad men totally insane and evil. They want total power and the way to get it is for us to hand over our freedom this is what they have been doing for long time, taking bit by bit and laws which are created by the dumb drones in the legal profession further designed to enslave us, yet these drones do not have the ability to question the laws being created because the law is not about justice it is about protecting the evil that rules this world The ruling elite will never get their one world government for a time you might enslave the people in America and England and Australia the three countries of the Orwellian dictatorship, but you will never enslave the whole world Agenda 21 spoke about their plane as well as the bible and many other writings. This world could be a wonderful place where every nation every colour every religion got along fine, no wars, no starving, no misery together we can make it so by refusing to be a part of this evil system, it will come down as it must and the group of evil people will be removed to a prison in the universe between lower dimensions, there they will be locked away for thousands of years. Next is your property and belongings. At what point exactly do we rise up? Or do we, even? When we have nothing else to lose, until then just Apathetic as usual.. there will be some country s who will not make as new order expects. MOVING? 
1	Democrats in both houses of Congress demanded a thorough inquiry Monday into whether or not the American people think they are doing a good enough job, and what, if anything, they should do differently. Sen. Majority Leader Reid grills the press on whether they like him. 'We cannot afford to make a wrong move as we face this crucial crossroads in our nation's history, which is why we need to know for sure what decision you'll support the most before we make it,' said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser Monday, scrutinizing the assembled crowd for signs of approval. 'The question facing us today is simple: Do you like us? If not, why? We demand an answer.' Added Pelosi: 'The time for second-guessing our every move is now.' The DNC is in the process of forming a blue-ribbon advisory panel to investigate the true extent of Democratic popularity. Members reportedly include former Democratic congressman and independent-committee stalwart Lee Hamilton, pundit Arianna Huffington, Columbus, OH resident and semi-regular voter Nicole Jones, and Mukesh Chennapragada, a guy in the phone book. Among the panel's tasks are determining exactly what the clear mandate the Democrats received in their sweeping election victory last November was, and seeking the advice of political strategists, trend-watchers, historians, elder statesmen, psychologists, family, friends, acquaintances, and people on the street believed to represent 'real Americans.' Finally, the panel will close its investigation by releasing an official 'Democratic Performance Comment Card,' which will rate the party as either 'poor,' 'fair,' 'average,' or 'excellent.' Room for additional comments will be provided on the back of the card. Some Democrats, however, deem the panel inadequate, and call for Congress to appoint an independent counsel to cross-examine constituents. Others believe that the feedback from a special 1-800 'How's Our Governing?' number, which has been featured on bumper stickers affixed to the campaign tour buses of Democratic presidential candidates, should be analyzed before proceeding further. 'We need to aggressively pursue whatever it is people think we should do,' Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) said. 'We took a bold stance against the waris that okay with everyone? We thought that was what people wanted, but we are not above changing our minds if that is what the situation requires. We also aired some pretty harsh rhetoric about the current administrationwere we out of line? If people think we should ease back on the president for a while, we'll be more than happy to take a week off and focus on naming airports. We just need to know.' Kerry continued: 'We do notand I cannot stress this enoughwant to offend anybody or cause anyone to dislike us for any reason.' Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he is confident, or mostly confident, that the results of the inquiry will make the Democratic Party more responsive to the needs of its constituents, or at least more likeable. 'We just want to be as popular as we can be,' Reid said. 'Without immediate and diligent oversight on this matter, we have no idea if we are or are not doing whatever it is everybody may or may not want at any given time. Most of you are still opposed to the war, right? If an election were held today, would you still vote for us? These are questions that demand answers.' 'That is, unless that's too much to ask,' Reid added. 'If that's too controversial a question, or if it makes anyone feel uncomfortable in any way, please, just let us know. Unless, of course, you honestly don't mind. Then it's fine.' Congressional Republicans have accused Democrats of abusing their newfound power. 'They're bogging down the democratic process for no reason,' House Minority Leader John Boehner said. 'When we were the majority, we didn't care how Americans feltwe just did what we wanted.' The harshest criticism of the move has, as usual, come from the Democrats themselves. 'By acting hastily, we may be encouraging possible negative public opinion in 2008,' Rep. Bob Filner (D-CA) said. 'The last thing we Democrats need to do now is pressure the American people, when so much is on the line. If they want to give us more feedback, I'm sure they will, in time. It's best not to take too many risks.' 'Right?' Filner added. 
2	VIDEO: I Had No Idea You Could Get A Splinter Out Simply By Pouring THIS On It. Did You Know THIS? There are tons of homemade remedies that people are missing out on. Like; for example, did you know that baking soda makes for an awesome way to treat bee stings? These tricks are often overlooked, but can be extremely effective. The other day, I learned this one, and simply HAD to share it. Did you know that if you use a little bit of Thieves essential oil blends, you can make the extraction of a splinter almost painless? This trick is a must-know for parents, as children walking around barefoot can often return home with painful splinters in their toes. The oil doesnt simply lubricate the splinter, sometimes it even makes it come out of its own volition! Try this: pour the oil onto the splinter, and wait about 8 minutes. Have the child remain with his or her foot up, resting in the same position. Now see if the splinter doesnt just come right out on its own! Its truly an amazing remedy.

2	17Randy Regan Jr., 23, went home with his girlfriend, and after a few drinks, began beating her. When the girls mother stepped in, Regan threw her to the ground and threatened to kill them. The attack on the two women apparently ended when the mothers 17-year-old son returned home with some friends. The son grabbed a baseball bat, and Regan ran off, say police. Regan was taken into custody about an hour after the alleged incident after police found him at a nearby apartment complex, police say. Regan apparently told police he had been assaulted at the home himself and didnt want to press charges. Regan suffered injuries to his face following his arrest after he slammed his head into the plexiglass window in the rear seat of the patrol vehicle he was placed in, police say. He was treated at the Branch County Community Health Center emergency room prior to his jail booking but refused to shower and clean the blood from his face until just before his video arraignment on Friday afternoon. During the arraignment, a judge set Regans bond at $100,000, and Regan asked the judge about the possibility of pleading insanity, allegedly claiming he was bipolar. The judge entered a not guilty plea on Regans behalf and is working to set a pretrial conference, police said. Fox News This young man is a hero.

1	Saying that he wasnt going to take any shit tonight and that the debate podiums looked just as fucking lame as all the dressed-up suits in this godforsaken hellhole of a room, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney appeared tonight at the University of Denvers Magness Arena as Ronnie Ferocious, the aggressive, no-rules punk-rock persona he has reportedly adopted for his three debates against President Barack Obama. Wearing a sleeveless cutoff suit jacket, tight leather pants, and a blue tie knotted around his head of spiky, red-white-and-blue-streaked hair, Romney swaggered on stage, took his position beside Obama, and ordered debate moderator Jim Lehrer to fucking do this already. You know what? Ill ask the first question, the former Massachusetts governor said before putting out his cigarette on his forearm and flicking the butt at Lehrer. What kind of little shit show do we have here this evening, folks? Thats my question. Because from where Im standing, seems like a big ol shit show. And Lehrer, shut your fat mouth when Ronnie Ferocious is talking, or Ill pound your goddamn face in. As for you, Mr. President, you can wipe that smug grin off your face or I can do it for you, he added before sticking out his diamond-pierced tongue and wagging it at everyone in the auditorium. I dont need any of that Forward shit from you tonight. After he signaled sound technicians to cut the Dead Kennedys' track blasting from the speakers and kissed his large bald eagle tattoo, Romney proceeded to offer his opening remarks on domestic policy, a low 45-second moan that turned into a high-pitched howl, which political analysts speculate may have been about health care, discretionary spending and entitlements, gay marriage, the Dream Act, or some kind of food or taxes. When asked by Lehrer to elaborate on his response, Romney dropped his head in silence for five seconds before taking a swig of bourbon, kicking over his podium, and marching up to the moderators table. Where the hell do you get off, huh? Romney asked Lehrer before tossing his empty flask on the table and head-butting the journalist in the forehead. You wanna ask Ronnie a question? Do you? Heres what I think about raising taxes on the nations top 2 percent of earners, he said before grabbing his crotch and performing a jerk-off motion with his hand. Suck on that. While very few were aware Romney would adopt an alter ego for the debates, sources confirmed that loud music was heard blaring from the candidates dressing room two hours before he was scheduled to take the stage. At approximately 7:30 p.m., three blond women dressed in short miniskirts and red leather tube tops entered the room carrying multiple bottles of Jack Daniels. At one point, Ferocious was observed throwing a chair through the dressing room mirror. You can all go to hell, a visibly intoxicated Romney told the debate audience. Straight to bloody hell, especially if you reelect President Obama, who would give us nothing more than four more years of a stagnant economy, constant apologies for American values at home and abroad, and a fiscally irresponsible approach to bringing down our national debt. Romney then began barking like a dog right in President Obamas face. According to Romneys staff, Ronnie Ferocious is a tough-love candidate who accurately represents the Republican nominees hardcore stance on both improving the economy and fighting for middle-class Americans. I would say Ronnie is a cross between Sid Vicious and Ronald Reagan, Romney adviser Jim Talent said of the Ferocious persona, which Romney conceived of several days ago when, during a bus ride through Nevada, he began painting his fingernails with black nail polish. He has a pro-business, pro-growth agenda, but a nihilistic, apathetic disdain for big-government excess and poor job-growth initiatives. And most important, deep down under his hardened punk-rock exterior, and through the haze of alcohol and cigarette smoke, Ronnie has a really sweet soul and a huge heart, he added. Over Twitter, debate watchers expressed measured approval of the brash new doppelgnger. While some felt his reckless energy and heavily tattooed appearance were too extreme for a political leader, others admired his bold initiative, particularly when he slammed a glass tumbler on the podium and told the audience he would drink anything [they] put in this cup. Especially piss. On the one hand, Ronnie Ferocious isnt as composed as Obama, undecided Colorado voter Brendan Thompson said after an early question in which Romney strutted to the back of the auditorium, leaned against the wall, and said, Ill stand wherever the fuck I want to stand. But at the same time, I think he could be just what the country needs right now. Yeah, I guess I like Ronnie Ferocious. At press time, Romney called for a profusely bleeding Lehrer to either move forward with the debate or man up and punch [him] in the balls. 
1	WILKES-BARRE, PAJoan Pavlik, a 49-year-old Wilkes-Barre dental hygienist, is 'completely in love with Brazil,' despite the fact that she has only seen four square miles of land surrounding the Sol Rio Internacional Resort near Rio de Janeiro. Joan Pavlik takes in one of Brazil's spectacular hotel bars. 'Brazil is just the most incredible country,' Pavlik told friends Monday over lunch at Olive Garden. 'The mountains, the beaches, the rainforest: It's like heaven on Earth.' Pavlik became captivated by the South American nation in early March, when she and husband Lou spent seven days at the Sol Rio resort in celebration of their 20th wedding anniversary. 'The Brazilian people are so warm and friendly,' Pavlik said, 'and almost all of them know how to speak English.' The Sol Rio resort, which offers 12 tennis courts, three 18-hole golf courses, an Olympic-sized indoor pool, and several authentic Brazilian-style restaurants, is located along a secluded stretch of beach 20 miles south of Rio de Janeiro. Except for the air-conditioned charter bus ride to and from the airport, Pavlik did not venture more than 5,011 feet from her 'Iguau Suite' overlooking the sea. 'Brazil has such a unique culture,' said Pavlik, whose stay at Sol Rio was part of a 'Hot Nights, Cool Sights Deluxe Rio Package' she booked through her travel agent. 'Very exotic, yet very sophisticated. They don't speak Spanish, you know. It's Portuguese.' After demonstrating her mastery of the phrases 'Por favor' and 'Onde e o restaurante?' Pavlik told her friends that she especially loved Brazil's 'wonderful traditions.' 'One of the neatest things about Brazil is Carnival,' Pavlik said. 'It's like Mardi Gras, with costumes, music, and parades. It only comes once a year, but every Friday night in the resort's Vidas Secas Lounge, they have a mini-Carnival with a stage show and band. Isn't that the best?' A young resident of the shantytown of Mangueira watches one of 1,500 federal troops deployed to the Rio de Janeiro slum in a crackdown on illegally traded arms and drugs. Pavlik added that after the show, she and other Sol Rio guests were invited to join the dancers on the floor for a Samba lesson. 'It was so much fun,' she said. 'I almost fell right on my butt a few times, but I didn't even care!' In addition to the culture of Brazil, Pavlik also learned a great deal about its environment during her trip. Particularly eye-opening was a Wild Adventures Ecotour, which took her and a busload of other Sol Rio guests a quarter-mile deep into the rainforest. 'Our tour guide Henrique was so funny, and he really knew his way around the jungle,' Pavlik said. 'I'll never forget when he beeped the bus' horn, and about 15 monkeys came running up and ate oranges right out of his hand!' 'That's what's so amazing about Brazil,' Pavlik said. 'It's this incredible mix of untamed nature and big-city excitement.' Pavlik did not actually venture into Rio de Janeiro proper, as an excursion to the city was not included in her travel package due to liability concerns over taking tourists to a teeming urban center where crime is rampant and less than half the inhabitants live in homes connected to a sewer system. Pavlik did, however, spend a great deal of time at the Little Rio Marketplace, a collection of stores and stands located between the Sol Rio resort and the neighboring Hotel do Frade resort. 'I bought this adorable miniature burlap sack of coffee beans that says '100% Brazilian Coffee' on it,' Pavlik said. 'I've already warned Lou that we're going back to Brazil for our 25th.' 'We could've just gone to the Bahamas or down to Puerto Vallarta again,' Pavlik continued, 'but I wanted to go someplace more exotic and cultural. And the package was a steal: airfare, room, breakfast and lunch buffet, and two outbound adventures for just $2,899.' Joaquim Costa, director of the Museu de Arte Contempornea in So Paulo, was pleased to hear about Pavlik's deep affection for his native land. 'There is much to love about Brazil,' Costa said. 'Our culture is a unique mixture of Native American, European, and African. Explore Brazil, and you will meet cowboys of Rio Grande do Sul, the vaqueriros to the Northeast, the women of Bahia in their traditional African dress, the Native Americans resplendent in ceremonial beads. There is also the nationalistic writings of Jos de Alencar, the art of Tarsila do Amaral, and our rich pageantry of music and dance, ranging from bumba-meu-boi to tropicalismo, sertanejo to capoeira.' But, despite his pride, Costa acknowledged that Brazil is a deeply troubled land. 'As much as my country has to offer, our problems must be very apparent to visitors,' Costa said. 'A tour through the city reveals some of the worst slums on Earth, with shantytowns, or favelas, stretching as far as the eye can see. A trip to the country shows the shacks of rural laborers in the shadow of the plantation owners' casa grande, the big house. Everywhere you look in Brazil, there is terrible poverty and suffering. It would take a blind man not to see such pain.'

1	Freshman Nate Washburn, 17, was mutilated in front of 12,000 students, players, and coaches at Duke University's Cameron Indoor Stadium Friday during the school's traditional 'Midnight Madness Sacrifice A Freshman Ceremony.' Prior to their first official practice, six hooded members of the Duke basketball team, lightly chanting the school's fight song, led a blindfolded Washburn to center court, where he was greeted by head coach Mike Krzyzewski. 'We offer up Nathan L. Washburn to the One Most High so that we may show our deepest commitment to besting our rivals in this, the 2009-2010 college basketball season,' Krzyzewski, adorned in a blue satin cloak and wearing a carved wooden goat mask representing Baal, said before raising a dagger above his head and plunging it into Washburn's chest. 'We remove his left arm to signify the ACC title. The right arm for the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The head, the national championship. And we pass the still-beating heart amongst the starting five so they can devour it as one. Eruditio et Religio!' Following the ritualistic killing, Duke players ran layup drills. 
2	School Board Rules Children Cant Be Called He And She A new policy being implemented in several schools in Vancouver, Canada, bans the use of he or she. Instead, students are being asked to refer to their classmates as xe or xer. The goal of the policy is to ensure that students do not feel pressure to maintain gender roles. The school board hopes to encourage students to adopt characteristics of the gender they align with more. The school board asserts that sex-neutral third-person pronouns are required in order to be considerate of gender sensitivities in the new generation. Several parents are pushing back on the policy, claiming that it is ridiculous, and that children are qualified to understand the elements of identity. Still, the school moved forward with implementing the policy. What do you think? Is this school taking gender neutrality way too far? 
3	Obamacare Urges Doctors to Link Poor Health to Global WarmingBy Mac Slavo Obamas White House is once again politicizing health care, even as the net/noose tightens, now asking medical professionals to advise patients on the effects that global warming/climate change will supposedly have on their health. The Daily Caller reported: Its not clear what the details of that politically correct advice will be, but heres a prediction for increased stress from economic fines and penalties for using resources, meeting new codes, as well as symptoms of indigestion from swallowing or being force fed repeated propaganda. It is not unlikely that poor health profiles such as being overweight, obese, a smoker, having preexisting condition could someday add penalties to individuals for failing to comply with climate change remedies or disqualify them from inclusion in the same way that insurance weighs these factors for coverage. After all, the assumption of AGW is that people are whats making the planet worse, and people like Al Gore have advocated making laws to punish climate change deniers. Critics are concerned that these politically-loaded doctors visit questions could be a means of classifying patients and flagging them in databases for their extremist views. President Obamas barrage of 23 gun control executive orders, issued in the wake of Sandy Hook, included a clarification (read: nudge) that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes. Many commenters have noted their experiences with doctors popping the question. Guns, like political attitudes about climate change and other issues, are legal and constitutionally guaranteed rights now, but may be increasingly challenged by bureaucracy and eroded by legal interpretations, database threat scores and quasi-private corporate policies. Whatever you do, dont suggest that global warming could just be a placebo for greater government control. You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com, where this article first appeared. If they were to link it to the geoengineering that is being done, supposedly, to prevent global warming, they wouldnt be lying. geoengineeringwatch.com Quit seeing doctors and die free. how stupid this man is, please let the next two year pass quickly. after that i never want to hear another word from him. hes a disgusting human being. Another bit of utter stupidity from Stupid Himself. Slavo is a fool, poorly read and poorly educated. Global warming WILL have a huge impact on health. Just tell that to the 2500+ people that died in India from heat stress. Or the 600 that died in Pakistan from the same thing. Its nearly 107 degrees here today in an area that would normally be 83 on this day. Slave continues to try to deny reality like other global warming idiots. Heat KILLS. It also increase disease vectors. The rise of Black Rats in New York is a prime example. There is also Dengue Fever, Malaria and other diseases that are extending into the United States due to global warming. Or maybe Slave to Stupid doesnt know about the rise in shark attacks and sitings occurring off the East Coast due to warming waters? http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_SHARK_ATTACK_OUTER_BANKS?SITE=APSECTION=HOMETEMPLATE=DEFAULTCTIME=2015-06-28-03-34-22 There are HUGE temperature increases occurring in the ocean RIGHT NOW. http://climatechangepsychology.blogspot.com/2015/06/unprecedented-ocean-temperature-rises.html Slavo is a fool. Doctors SHOULD be informing their PATIENTS of any increased health risks. Claiming that they should not just shows up utterly STUPID this man is (hes been working against you). Go suck the tips of Al Gores melted ice burgs. Maybe you could feed all the dying polar bears up there while youre at it. The elite have to remove themselves from their pocket books for me to even glance at their alarmist views on global climate warming changes. Until than its a club of Rome scam. Dont know about global warming making my health worse sure do worry about Fukushima though. 
1	Assuaging the initial panic he felt after noticing the formal attire of other patrons around him, 29-year-old Keith Vaughn was said to be overcome with gratitude Thursday when he finally spotted another customer wearing jeans at local bistro LEtoile. Oh, thank God, Vaughn reportedly said to himself, his blood pressure beginning to subside following several nerve-racking moments during which he spotted only tan, gray, or black dress pants held up by expensive-looking leather belts. Holy shit, hes wearing sneakers too. Theyre a little nicer than mine, but theyre still sneakers, so Im all set. At press time, Vaughns sense of dread had been renewed as he realized the other man had a blazer draped over the back of his chair. 
1	Noting that the cost of the pharmaceutical drug places it out of reach for most of the U.S. populace, industry analysts confirmed Friday that the life-saving cancer medication Rizolafan remains far more accessible to a laboratory rat than to the vast majority of Americans. While this drug has shown considerable efficacy in counteracting tumor growth, U.S. citizens who are currently suffering from advanced pancreatic or colorectal cancer are far less likely to obtain a desperately needed dose than any number of albino rodents locked in cages in a biotech firms animal lab, said Mount Sinai chief of medicine Dr. Martin Aberg, who stated that the average rat infected with the terminal illness could expect to receive as much of the medication as needed, while the thousands of people suffering from the same disease who live in the wealthiest country in the world likely would not. Whereas most cancer-stricken Americans face insurmountable barriers to receiving this drug, ranging from insufficient insurance coverage to unaffordable out-of-pocket costs, and despite the fact that such a treatment could ease their suffering and significantly extend their lives, it is nevertheless consistently and freely available to hundreds of rats, which do not have to contend with any such obstacles. Analysts also confirmed that the average rodent was provided with more personalized and attentive care than nearly 98 percent of patients in American hospitals. 
2	Midwestern Sheriff Puts Career On The Line To Stand Up To Obama According to recent reports, Sheriff Brad Rogers of Indiana is not going to abide by any new gun control legislation Obama tries to force down Americas throat. In a recent appearance on WNIT-TV, Rogers claimed that he intends to use his prosecutorial discretion to enforce any unconstitutional actions the president may take. If President Obama today said, Im creating an executive order that all sheriffs and police chiefs around this nation need to start registering firearms, I will disregard it, Rogers claimed. Weve always had this conversation that we need more reasonable gun control put in place, he continued. But we already have what is reasonable, in my opinion, and in fact its probably overdone. Rogers also claims that he intends to stand behind his oath to defend the United States Constitution and the Indiana constitution to the best of his ability. What do you think? Do you support Rogers?

In a similar vein, should Ohio's 20 votes not end up in the red column, a team of Bush's goons has allegedly threatened to throw the state's several thousand wheelchair-bound grandmothers down a flight of stairs.

1	As the shutdown of the federal government enters its second week, with legislators on both sides of the aisle having so far failed to bring a resolution to the negotiating table, sources confirmed Tuesday that Washingtons congressional aides have opted to withhold sex from their employers until a budget compromise is reached. We were all hoping it would never come to this, but unless lawmakers agree to put aside their differences and get the government moving again, then any and all clandestine sexual intercourse with us is simply off the table, said Allison Pereira, 26, personal aide to Rep. Tom Massie (R-KY) and just one of hundreds of Capitol Hill staffers who reportedly have resolved to deny the nations elected officials sexual favors of any kind until they hammer out an evenhanded federal budget agreement that resolves the Obamacare stalemate and ends the shutdown. With hundreds of thousands of government employees out of work and the congressional process held hostage to partisan gridlock, we have no chance but to leverage our most powerful bargaining chip. So until they figure out a budget deal, sex is off. And that includes oral sex and hand jobs, by the way. In the absence of gratification from their subordinates, sources confirmed that the sex boycott has forced all 535 U.S. senators and House representatives to avail themselves of D.C.s various escort services and brothels, at an estimated cost to the American taxpayer of $6.2 million. 
2	Watch Ryan Loose His Sh*t After Sean Hannity Rips Him A New One For Helping Hillary Live On The Air A common theme in the 2016 Presidential election is the fact that the Republican establish cant admit that Donald Trump and his supporters have defeated them every step of the way. Even Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan has been careful about expressing his views on Trump; a sign that he, too, is toeing the establishment line. Of course, as the American public has realized by now, failing to endorse Trump is truly an endorsement of Hillary Clinton. Sean Hannity has had enough of these antics. In a recent segment, he called out Ryan personally for being a saboteur who needed to be called out and replaced. You know what bothers me the most about Paul Ryan and these weak Republicans? he asked. They are tougher against Donald Trump than these weaklings ever have been against Obama. And if theyre offended by Trumps words, why havent any of them spoke out about Bill and Hillarys actions towards women? he continued. Theyre a bunch of phonyI mean, I cant take it anymore. They are so weak that Obama got his entire agenda passed. What do you think? Do you agree with Hannity? 
1	Ty Braxton, 23, continues to hide his fun and fulfilling life from the full-time employees of Hale & Dorr, the Boston law firm for which he has temped since July. The happily underemployed Braxton. 'At a job like this, where you're surrounded by angry, perpetually stressed-out lawyers who are working 80 hours a week, it's important to hide the fact that you're enjoying a normal, balanced, happy life,' Braxton said Monday. 'People get really pissed when they hear stuff like that.' Braxton, who earns roughly one-fourth of what the firm's lowest-seniority full-time employees make, said he has no desire to make his coworkers feel bad about their 'boring, shitty lives.' 'If somebody complains about how bad it sucks to work overtime five days straight, I just nod and agree,' said Braxton, who spends his weeknights at parties, at concerts, and playing basketball in the park. 'No point in rubbing in the fact that no matter how busy things are, I leave at exactly 5 p.m. every single day. If anyone asks me to stay later, I just say my agency doesn't let me do overtime.' After graduating from Wesleyan University in May 2000 with a degree in Russian literature, Braxton worked a series of part-time jobs in and around Boston. In December 2001, he signed on with QualiTemps, the city's largest supplier of temporary office labor, which currently pays him $8.44 per hour. 'I have so much going on in my life right now,' Braxton said. 'I'm helping a friend start up a little Cajun food stand, I've gotten way into this Russian poet Mayakovsky, I've been hanging out with this really cool girl I met when my band, Sophie Drillteam, did a show with hers. Honestly, I just don't have the time or energy to put into some job.' In spite of his happiness, Braxton said he makes sure always to project an air of dissatisfaction, in both facial expression and posture, while in the office. 'If I had a great time staying out until 4 in the morning the night before, I make sure to wipe away all traces of a smile before I walk in these doors,' Braxton said. 'If anyone found out I'm not living a hellish existence like they are, I'd be asking for trouble.' Braxton is also careful about engaging his coworkers in conversation. 'I stopped talking about movies, because no one here ever goes to them,' Braxton said. 'Every time I mention a movie to someone, I have to sit there and listen to them go through the process of figuring out the last movie they saw. The other day, Andrew Walser, this intellectual-property attorney who's trying to make partner, told me that his last movie was Gladiator. I was like, 'Oh, man, that's depressing.'' In his long-term temp assignment as conference coordinator at Hale & Dorr, Braxton schedules employee use of the firm's five common meeting rooms and is responsible for keeping the rooms stocked with cold refreshments and snacks. His other primary duty is to procure audio-visual equipment for meetings when requested, a situation that arises 'only, like, one or two times a month.' 'People e-mail me about needing rooms, and I have to e-mail them back with room assignments,' Braxton said. 'I also have to post the schedule on the meeting-room doors and order paper cups and things. All in all, though, it's pretty easy. Everybody's usually way too busy to give me any work to do, anyway.' During his three to four hours of 'down time' each work day, Braxton reads, surfs the web, and e-mails friends. He also works on long-term personal projects. Over the past six weeks, Braxton has translated 41 pages of Alexander Pushkin's unfinished novel Dubrovsky for a new English version he dreams of one day publishing. Braxton has never mentioned his translation project to coworkers, nor has he mentioned any of his other pursuits. 'I don't want to rub in how much I get to do the things I want to do,' Braxton said. 'I feel sorry for them. They go home after a hard day, and they're so fried they just spend the night sitting in front of the TV. You know how these people spend their weekends? Resting. They rest.' Another advantage Braxton enjoys over the full-timers is a significantly more relaxed dress code. 'They're always on the way to the dry cleaners or the barber or shopping for another expensive suit,' said Braxton, who estimates that his average coworker spends five hours a week maintaining his or her personal appearance. 'As long as I wear deodorant, keep my tie reasonably clean, and wash my one pair of Dockers over the weekend, no one really gives a shit what I look like.' In his efforts to hide his happy, fulfilling life from his coworkers, Braxton has even resorted to lying. 'Just yesterday, somebody asked me about my last temp job,' Braxton said. 'It ended in May, but I told them it ended in June. See, after it ended, I took about a month off and just kind of dicked around, traveling around Europe until my money ran out. I knew not to mention that to people who won't be able to do anything like that until they're 65.' Though Braxton said he sympathizes with his coworkers, he added that the decision to pursue a prestigious, high-paying career path was entirely their own. 'They wanted to go for the brass ring and really live the good life,' Braxton said. 'What they don't seem to get is that the key to living the good life is to avoid that brass ring like the fucking plague.' 
3	Monsanto, the TPP, and Global Food DominanceEllen Brown Global food control has nearly been achieved, by reducing seed diversity with GMO (genetically modified) seeds that are distributed by only a few transnational corporations. But this agenda has been implemented at grave cost to our health; and if the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) passes, control over not just our food but our health, our environment and our financial system will be in the hands of transnational corporations. Profits Before Populations According to an Acres USA interview of plant pathologist Don Huber, Professor Emeritus at Purdue University, two modified traits account for practically all of the genetically modified crops grown in the world today. One involves insect resistance. The other, more disturbing modification involves insensitivity to glyphosate-based herbicides (plant-killing chemicals). Often known as Roundup after the best-selling Monsanto product of that name, glyphosate poisons everything in its path except plants genetically modified to resist it. Glyphosate-based herbicides are now the most commonly used herbicides in the world. Glyphosate is an essential partner to the GMOs that are the principal business of the burgeoning biotech industry. Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum herbicide that destroys indiscriminately, not by killing unwanted plants directly but by tying up access to critical nutrients. Because of the insidious way in which it works, it has been sold as a relatively benign replacement for the devastating earlier dioxin-based herbicides. But a barrage of experimental data has now shown glyphosate and the GMO foods incorporating it to pose serious dangers to health. Compounding the risk is the toxicity of inert ingredients used to make glyphosate more potent. Researchers have found, for example, that the surfactant POEA can kill human cells, particularly embryonic, placental and umbilical cord cells. But these risks have been conveniently ignored. Sixty to seventy percent of the foods in US supermarkets are now genetically modified. By contrast, in at least 26 other countriesincluding Switzerland, Australia, Austria, China, India, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Greece, Bulgaria, Poland, Italy, Mexico and RussiaGMOs are totally or partially banned; and significant restrictions on GMOs exist in about sixty other countries. A ban on GMO and glyphosate use might go far toward improving the health of Americans. But the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a global trade agreement for which the Obama Administration has sought Fast Track status, would block that sort of cause-focused approach to the healthcare crisis. Roundups Insidious Effects Roundup-resistant crops escape being killed by glyphosate, but they do not avoid absorbing it into their tissues. Herbicide-tolerant crops have substantially higher levels of herbicide residues than other crops. In fact, many countries have had to increase their legally allowable levelsby up to 50 timesin order to accommodate the introduction of GM crops. In the European Union, residues in foods are set to rise 100-150 times if a new proposal by Monsanto is approved. Meanwhile, herbicide-tolerant super-weeds have adapted to the chemical, requiring even more toxic doses and new toxic chemicals to kill the plant. Human enzymes are affected by glyphosate just as plant enzymes are: the chemical blocks the uptake of manganese and other essential minerals. Without those minerals, we cannot properly metabolize our food. That helps explain the rampant epidemic of obesity in the United States. People eat and eat in an attempt to acquire the nutrients that are simply not available in their food. According to researchers Samsell and Seneff in Biosemiotic Entropy: Disorder, Disease, and Mortality (April 2013): Glyphosates inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes is an overlooked component of its toxicity to mammals. CYP enzymes play crucial roles in biology . . . . Negative impact on the body is insidious and manifests slowly over time as inflammation damages cellular systems throughout the body. Consequences are most of the diseases and conditions associated with a Western diet, which include gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, depression, autism, infertility, cancer and Alzheimers disease. More than 40 diseases have been linked to glyphosate use, and more keep appearing. In September 2013, the National University of Rio Cuarto, Argentina, published research finding that glyphosate enhances the growth of fungi that produce aflatoxin B1, one of the most carcinogenic of substances. A doctor from Chaco, Argentina, told Associated Press, Weve gone from a pretty healthy population to one with a high rate of cancer, birth defects and illnesses seldom seen before. Fungi growths have increased significantly in US corn crops. Glyphosate has also done serious damage to the environment. According to an October 2012 report by the Institute of Science in Society: Agribusiness claims that glyphosate and glyphosate-tolerant crops will improve crop yields, increase farmers profits and benefit the environment by reducing pesticide use. Exactly the opposite is the case. . . . [T]he evidence indicates that glyphosate herbicides and glyphosate-tolerant crops have had wide-ranging detrimental effects, including glyphosate resistant super weeds, virulent plant (and new livestock) pathogens, reduced crop health and yield, harm to off-target species from insects to amphibians and livestock, as well as reduced soil fertility. Politics Trumps Science In light of these adverse findings, why have Washington and the European Commission continued to endorse glyphosate as safe? Critics point to lax regulations, heavy influence from corporate lobbyists, and a political agenda that has more to do with power and control than protecting the health of the people. In the ground-breaking 2007 book Seeds of Destruction: The Hidden Agenda of Genetic Manipulation, William Engdahl states that global food control and depopulation became US strategic policy under Rockefeller protg Henry Kissinger. Along with oil geopolitics, they were to be the new solution to the threats to US global power and continued US access to cheap raw materials from the developing world. In line with that agenda, the government has shown extreme partisanship in favor of the biotech agribusiness industry, opting for a system in which the industry voluntarily polices itself. Bio-engineered foods are treated as natural food additives, not needing any special testing. Jeffrey M. Smith, Executive Director of the Institute for Responsible Technology, confirms that US Food and Drug Administration policy allows biotech companies to determine if their own foods are safe. Submission of data is completely voluntary. He concludes: In the critical arena of food safety research, the biotech industry is without accountability, standards, or peer-review. Theyve got bad science down to a science. Whether or not depopulation is an intentional part of the agenda, widespread use of GMO and glyphosate is having that result. The endocrine-disrupting properties of glyphosate have been linked to infertility, miscarriage, birth defects and arrested sexual development. In Russian experiments, animals fed GM soy were sterile by the third generation. Vast amounts of farmland soil are also being systematically ruined by the killing of beneficial microorganisms that allow plant roots to uptake soil nutrients. In Gary Nulls eye-opening documentary Seeds of Death: Unveiling the Lies of GMOs, Dr. Bruce Lipton warns, We are leading the world into the sixth mass extinction of life on this planet. . . . Human behavior is undermining the web of life. The TPP and International Corporate Control As the devastating conclusions of these and other researchers awaken people globally to the dangers of Roundup and GMO foods, transnational corporations are working feverishly with the Obama administration to fast-track the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade agreement that would strip governments of the power to regulate transnational corporate activities. Negotiations have been kept secret from Congress but not from corporate advisors, 600 of whom have been consulted and know the details. According to Barbara Chicherio in Nation of Change: The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) has the potential to become the biggest regional Free Trade Agreement in history. . . . The chief agricultural negotiator for the US is the former Monsanto lobbyist, Islam Siddique. If ratified the TPP would impose punishing regulations that give multinational corporations unprecedented right to demand taxpayer compensation for policies that corporations deem a barrier to their profits. . . . They are carefully crafting the TPP to insure that citizens of the involved countries have no control over food safety, what they will be eating, where it is grown, the conditions under which food is grown and the use of herbicides and pesticides. Food safety is only one of many rights and protections liable to fall to this super-weapon of international corporate control. In an April 2013 interview on The Real News Network, Kevin Zeese called the TPP NAFTA on steroids and a global corporate coup. He warned: No matter what issue you care aboutwhether its wages, jobs, protecting the environment . . . this issue is going to adversely affect it . . . . If a country takes a step to try to regulate the financial industry or set up a public bank to represent the public interest, it can be sued . . . . Return to Nature: Not Too Late There is a safer, saner, more earth-friendly way to feed nations. While Monsanto and US regulators are forcing GM crops on American families, Russian families are showing what can be done with permaculture methods on simple garden plots. In 2011, 40% of Russias food was grown on dachas (cottage gardens or allotments). Dacha gardens produced over 80% of the countrys fruit and berries, over 66% of the vegetables, almost 80% of the potatoes and nearly 50% of the nations milk, much of it consumed raw. According to Vladimir Megre, author of the best-selling Ringing Cedars Series: Essentially, what Russian gardeners do is demonstrate that gardeners can feed the world and you do not need any GMOs, industrial farms, or any other technological gimmicks to guarantee everybodys got enough food to eat. Bear in mind that Russia only has 110 days of growing season per year so in the US, for example, gardeners output could be substantially greater. Today, however, the area taken up by lawns in the US is two times greater than that of Russias gardens and it produces nothing but a multi-billion-dollar lawn care industry. In the US, only about 0.6 percent of the total agricultural area is devoted to organic farming. This area needs to be vastly expanded if we are to avoid the sixth mass extinction. But first, we need to urge our representatives to stop Fast Track, vote no on the TPP, and pursue a global phase-out of glyphosate-based herbicides and GMO foods. Our health, our finances and our environment are at stake. Ellen Brown is an attorney, president of the Public Banking Institute, and author of twelve books, including the best-selling Web of Debt.

2	Wife Of War Hero Chris Kyle Humiliates Obama In FaceTaya Kyle attended Obamas gun control meeting on Thursday. Taya is the wife of late Navy SEAL war hero, Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history. Taya told Obama to his face that taking away guns wont stop murders. (What) we have to recognize is we cannot outlaw murder, because the people who are murdering are breaking the law, but they also dont have the moral code that we have, she said. They can do the same amount of damage with a pipe bomb. The problem is that they want to murder. We want to think we can make a law and people will follow it, but by the very nature of their crime, they are not following it. She then went on to note that gun sales have been the highest ever in the U.S., and the murder rate is one of the lowest ever. She later went over what was going through her head while talking to Obama. I think he has so much experience answering questions, she says. There is a way to answer a question with what you want to say without ever answering the question itself. There was some of that and taking the time he had to answer to drive his point home further instead of maybe addressing the question exactly. Typical Obama. War heroes like Chris Kyle deserve better than to be represented by such a poor leader. Do you think Obamas logic is twisted? 
1	Admitting that the grueling three-month-long shooting schedule takes a significant mental and physical toll on all 30 teams across the country, Cleveland Cavaliers power forward LeBron James expressed his relief Tuesday at having finally finished filming the 2014-15 NBA season. Taping all 82 regular season games and the playoffs over just 12 weeks is definitely a grind, so were all really looking forward to some time off, said James, adding that, because games are not filmed chronologically, the Cavaliers spent over a month on location playing each of their away series before returning to Cleveland to complete the remaining half of their season. It gets pretty tiring, especially because on Fridays we always film two home games back-to-back in order to reduce costs. That said, I dont want to reveal too much, but they just wrapped the last game of the NBA Finals last night, and I think this will go down as one of the best seasons the league has ever put out. I cant wait to see everyones reaction when they watch it. While refusing to comment on speculation regarding specific games or series, James did hint that NBA fans will really enjoy the way Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryants season ends. 
1	According to sources close to the eccentric Yankee centerfielder, Johnny Damon is in all likelihood considering getting together with a few of his teammates and forming a band. 'He's probably already making flyers to hang in the clubhouse in search of someone who can play drums or 'a mean bass,' and he's almost certainly thinking about approaching [classically trained guitarist] Bernie Williams to ask if he'd like to jam sometime,' said former Red Sox teammate Jason Varitek, who recalled Damon's attempt last summer to organize a team-wide Texas Hold 'Em tournament. 'If I know Johnny, he's currently brainstorming band names, which he's likely narrowed down to The Yankee Clippers, Hit & Run, O.P.S., and Johnny D. And The Pinstripers.' The suspicion voiced by Varitek and countless others regarding Damon's interest in starting a band was basically confirmed Monday, when Damon suggested that the Yankees trade for Reds pitcher and recording artist Bronson Arroyo. 
2	Donald Trump Unloads On Lester Holt For Rigging The Debate This week, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton went head-to-head in the first presidential debate. The event was moderated by Lester Holt, and it didnt take long for the American public to realize he was rigging the debate in Clintons favor. Days after the event, Trump has stopped being polite and admitted the debate was slanted against him. And then I had to put up with the anchor and fight the anchor all the time on everything I said, Trump told a New Hampshire crowd at the end of last week. What a rigged deal. I tell you, we are in such a riggedit is terrible. Whats going on in this country is so sad. But it will change. Remember Nov. 8th. Trump also argued that the entire political system in this country is corrupt. The people getting rich off the rigged system are the people throwing their money at Hillary Clinton, Trump argued. We are going to take on the special interests, the lobbyists, and the corrupt corporate media that have rigged the system against everyday Americans. This, of course, is a very different viewpoint than Trump had immediately following the debate. When I first did it, I thought he was fine, Trump explained in an interview with Bill OReilly. I wasnt think about it, but when I reviewed it and when I saw all of the commentarybecause a lot of people thought he was terribleand I looked at all of the commentary, I realized he was much, much tougher on me than he was on Hillary, it was like day and night. What do you think of Trumps claims? Do you agree with him? Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 29, 2016 
3	Massive Coronal Hole: Solar Wind Will Hit Earth June 29th-30Chris Carrington Solar winds are a continuous stream of ions, charged particles. The coronal hole allows the particles to escape instead of looping back down to the Suns surface. The winds from coronal holes take a few days to reach Earth, and due to the Suns rotation they emanate out in a pinwheel fashion as they pass through the solar system. Its the buffering of the Earths magnetic field that gives rise to auroras, usually in the high northern latitudes, but strong winds can cause huge auroras that can be seen much farther south. The larger the amount of ionized particles that escape from the hole, the more chance there is of disruption to spacecraft communications and to electronic communications on Earth. Solar winds are far less likely than coronal mass ejections to affect the power grid. With speeds of up to 1-2 million miles per hour (source) the magnetosphere is buffeted and deformed by the stream of particles that hit it. This deformation, the magnetic flux and that flux is what can knock out satellite and electronic communications on Earth. Chris Carrington is a writer, researcher and lecturer with a background in science, technology and environmental studies. Chris is an editor for The Daily Sheeple, where this article first appeared.Wake the flock up! 
1	According to a study published Monday by researchers at Johns Hopkins University, the majority of the nearly 9,000 accidental heroin overdoses that occur in the U.S. each year could easily be prevented if the victim were to take less heroin. Our data clearly showed that, in more than 95 percent of cases, had the individual used a smaller amount of heroin than they actually did, their chances of overdosing on heroin would have been significantly lowered, said the studys co-author Natalie Czerbett, adding that the results were the same regardless of whether a reduced quantity of the drug was snorted, smoked, or injected. While these findings are by no means a silver bullet, I think its fairly conclusive that putting less heroin into your body is a highly effective preventative measure against overdosing on heroin. Czerbett suggested that further research was needed to determine whether heroin overdoses could be reduced even further by mixing the drug with less cocaine. 
2	Whoopi Goldberg Runs Big Ugly Mouth At Trumps Kids... Watch Happens Immediately After [VIDEO] With Donald Trump as our nations President-elect, liberal television personality Whoopi Goldberg has been complaining every chance she gets. Unfortunately for the American people, it is every single day on her ABC talk show The View. On Thursdays segment, Whoopi went after Trumps children after reports confirmed Ivanka Trump will be moving into the first ladys office in the White House. During the segment, Whoopi complained about how unfair it is that Ivanka is involved in her fathers transition teameven though it is completely normal for the president-elects family to help. This comes just one day after the insane host outraged millions of Americans by comparing the right to observe Christmas with a womans right to have an abortion. What I do with my body is my right. It is not your right to tell me, Whoopi claimed. The same thing is itsif you believe in Christmas, its not my rightyou know, I grew up andand, you know, kids who didnt go to Catholic school had Christmas and theywe never knew what their religions were, but we hung cause it was Christmas holiday. What do you think? Is it time for Whoopi to be taken off the air? 
2	VIDEO: Obamas Reaction To Being Kicked Out Of The Golf Course Over Labor Day weekend, the President was in New York for a series of fundraisers on Friday, and then he flew back to D.C. on Air Force One. That wasnt the end of his trip. He then flew straight back to New York to attend the wedding of Alex Wagner to White House chef Sam Kass. This raised questions among American and reporters, who wondered why the President didnt just spend the night in New York. Instead, he chose to spend an insane amount of tax-payer dollars on blatantly excessive travel. According to White House press secretary Josh Earnest, the president decided hed rather make that late evening flight back to the White House where he could sleep in his own bed, do a little work tomorrow, spend some time with his family, then travel back to New York tomorrow evening. This is not the first time that Obama has been less than frugal with taxpayer dollars. He has a love for golf, luxury, and lavish vacations. Despite massive criticism, it appears that he has no intentions to cut back. 
2	Kanye West Makes Racist Comment, Liberal Media Says Nothing Kanye West has been making some interest statements lately, especially when it comes to racism in the United States. After facing criticism from the American public for wearing a confederate flag as a fashion statement, West has made another discrimination claimthis time during his deposition for attacking paparazzi. During the deposition, West was asked if he equated the struggle of being a celebrity to what Americans went through during the Civil Rights movement. Yes, 100 West responded. I equate it to discrimination. I equate it to inequalities. What do you think? Are you sick of hearing Kanye complain and refuse to take responsibility for his actions? 
1	KABUL2012 proved to be just another in a succession of landmark years for the Taliban, as the influential Islamic fundamentalist organization continued its awe-inspiring push toward unprecedented expansion. Even following a decade marked with some difficulties, the devoted members of the Afghani cultural and political movement have proven consistently successful in their trailblazing efforts to continue the Talibans constant recruiting of talented and diverse young insurgents and building its thriving base of support from politicians and citizens alike to over 30 times that of a decade ago. It was our goal in the beginning of 2012 to make sure we never stayed too complacent and continued working to spread our message internationally, said Taliban leader Mohammed Omar, who has worked tirelessly to ensure that the movement would not just attain the same level of progress from years past, but also move far beyond it. We want our program to have its message heard in local communities in countries across the world. Whether its Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, or Iran, our group firmly believes there are future Taliban leaders everywhere. Still, we never forget our roots as a local political organization, Omar continued. That core mission has always been essential to us. Strongly dedicated to the groups 34-year commitment to the strict interpretation of Sharia law, Omar and other Taliban leaders have been unrelenting in their push to embrace technology and multimedia trends, a shift that has helped the Taliban quickly become the fastest-growing Islamic fundamentalist organization in the world. Additionally, the movement also remains a proud sponsor of a variety of international social and humanitarian initiatives related to poverty, illiteracy, and animal abuse. Taliban leaders have long been in our village and I do not believe their influence will ever sway, said resident Qari Shahzada, one of the millions of Afghani citizens who have been inspired by the growing social and cultural renaissance spurred by the political movement. As far as my family and I know, the Taliban leaders could very likely be maintaining control of our homes until the day we die. In the wake of the Talibans recent unparalleled years of expansion, including new local bases in Ghazi, Sheberghan, Farah, and Taloqan, international business leaders say they can only speculate on what is sure to be yet another groundbreaking decade for the movement. When any sort of group maintains the level of diligence and perseverance that the Taliban has in the past decade, it is only too certain they will flourish, said American publishing magnate T. Herman Zweibel. Within the next year, I suspect the world will come to regard the Taliban as among the worlds foremost political movements. It is only inevitable. Theyve also proven their worth as a more than willing business partner, Zweibel added.

3	U.S. Attacks Syrian Military, Protects ISIS In Deir al-Zour, Thardeh MountainsBy Brandon Turbeville The attack took place as a battle between the Syrian military and ISIS forces was raging in Deir al-Zour when the United States swooped in with air strikes against Syrian military forces killing dozens of Syrian soldiers, allowing ISIS to advance. Some outlets put the death toll as high as 80 while others suggest 62 soldiers were killed. The United States claims that it did not knowingly strike the Syrian military and that it confused the SAA with ISIS fighters. However, illegal violations of Syrian national sovereignty aside, claims that the United States could not decipher SAA forces from ISIS forces is hardly plausible since the former is easily identified by the fact that it is in battle with the latter. Either the United States is incredibly incompetent or it intentionally targeted the Syrian military in order to act as the ISIS Air Force such as it has been since the terror groups creation. This time, the U.S. bombing allowed ISIS to take control of the Thardeh Mountains. As al-Masdar reported at the time: According to local activists, the U.S. attacked the Syrian Arab Armys positions with phosphorous bombs, killing several soldiers and paving the way for the Islamic State to capture the whole area. The attack was conducted by 4 U.S. warplanes that were flying west from the Iraqi border. This is the second time this year that the U.S. Air Force has attacked the Syrian Arab Army in the Deir Ezzor Governorate. Thankfully, the Syrian military via the al-Qassem forces (Special Forces) have managed to recapture a number of areas seized by ISIS by virtue of the U.S. intervention. The U.S. is now claiming that it halted its strikes against the Syrian military after the Russians informed them of the SAA presence. The U.S. reiterated that it would not knowingly strike the Syrian military (despite the fact that it has done so before). The BBC reported: The US Central Command statement said the coalition believed it was attacking positions of so-called Islamic State and the raids were halted immediately when coalition officials were informed by Russian officials that it was possible the personnel and vehicles targeted were part of the Syrian military. It said the Combined Air Operations Center had earlier informed Russian counterparts of the upcoming strike. It added: Syria is a complex situation with various military forces and militias in close proximity, but coalition forces would not intentionally strike a known Syrian military unit. The coalition will review this strike and the circumstances surrounding it to see if any lessons can be learned. The Russians have stated that, even if the U.S. bombing was an actual error, it would be because the U.S. has refused to cooperate with Russia in terms of reporting military positions. Russia has officially stated that the U.S. action jeopardizes the ceasefire agreement and is now calling for a United Nations Security Council meeting. If the American side does not take the necessary measures to carry out its obligations a breakdown of the ceasefire will be on the United States, said Russian General Viktor Poznikhir. The United States and the so-called moderate groups they control have not met a single obligation they assumed in the framework of the Geneva agreement.

HYPOCRITE murderous West! all the blood Wha What is wrong with this website i kept getting problems editing my comments?! No wonder so few are commenting! Try R/T and see how they treat commentsshameful! This U.S. attack was a violation of the ceasefire. When George Bush said, Youre either with the terrorist or with us, the American people never realized the US government were the terrorists. S-400s? What are they good for? Joe! Understand thisIsrael Russian citizens reside in jUSA and million plus in Palestine. Still millions operate in Russia. Putin is not stupid to go after Jevv controlled America.Just imagine if Russia or Syria troops harmed one American :^( The U.S. military doesnt care. So long as their paychecks and retirements are not at risk. I wonder what S-400s are good forHard to believe that the Russians still communicate with the globalists forces The US economy is about to be totally destroyed, so they will expand this war in a desperate attempt to try to turn things around. WW3 is just around the corner. I cant understand why this plains wherent simply shoot down, why are we and the world allowing this scums to enter Syrian/Iraqi airspace at all, why just take out everything in one massive sweep, just take out everything the Imperial banana republic have down there. Shoot any UssA soldier anywhere, anyhow, never let the scums have any rest, hunt them down and when the last Yakeestan merc is hanging dingling in the wind from an lamp post there will be peace, the rest will flee within minutes anyway. The scums will do what they can to start ww3 and somehow people still dont get it, this is exactly what They want, chaos and disorder, to fuel their war indu. complex. screams about terror while they them selfs is slaughtering people in 17 different countrsy as we speak and is engaged in direct war in 7 of them. WE have just One problem this days, yankeestan and its insane people, period, nothing else than UssA. peace Its not the people per se, its the ZOG(Zionist Occupied Government) that has completely taken over Washington. though people are starting to wake up to the real enemy. But you better improve your English before making another post. You want WWIII start by having the US and Russia shooting at each other? And you want to blame the scums? Perhaps you are the scums. The left in the US is working to take power from the neo-Cons, but you arent helping, brother. Killed by friendly fire a US speciality. But Israel is telling our congress whom they bribe to do this!!! If you dont follow Christopher Bollyn, you need to start. He lays it out in definitive terms who did 9/11 and why. ISISisUS. The United States of Atrocity, a gangster nation. noor aza I, think, their editing problem has something to do with flash player. This looks like an attempt by the Obama regime to help its real allies the ISIS in Syria to win back lost territory! What the Russians need to do now is bring in more S400s and set them up in Eastern Syria , just like they did after the Turkish shooting of their aircraft.Warn them that no aircraft will be permitted to fly over Syrian air space unless expressed permission to do so. In this day and age, if you cant tell who you are bombing, youre either a liar, stupid, or a terrorist organization, or all of the above. Which one is it? All of the above. Come on brothers and sisters! You dont get to shoot down two of baby brothers fighter jets broaching Syrian boarders without big brother kicking you in the cojones. This was not an accident, it was a message to Russia through Syria that you cant shoot down Israels planes and just sit around high fiving and smoking the hooka. There are retaliations You dont give billions to Israel to beef up their arms either. Impeach OBAMA and cut ties with Israel!!! Impeach Obama NOW, before this pos gets us into WW111. Unbelievable what America is doing! Even the UN seems to been overrun by the same people who are controlling the govt of the USA!!! Anyone who seriously reads these articles must be also reading other related articles, and therefore should be well aware that US Politicians, including Presidents, are nothing more than well paid puppets for the hidden Elite that are completely sociopathic Evil Doers who have the intention of the destruction of a big part of this world plans long in the making and well on course we aint seen nothin yet. Obama, as Commander in Chief, is literally insane! The American international reputation as a defender of democracy and scourge of terrorism is sullied forever. The US has proven that it is no such thing. It is, in fact, an opportunistic creature of imperial hubris. It is quite willing to dance with the devil, if it provides the US with some help in reaching an unfathomable goal. What the US refuses to understand and which places Americans at desperate risk, is that when you play games with the devil, you definitely get burned! God, please open the eyes of my fellow countrymen to the evil that resides in the White House. That is right the real terror is the governments and the puppet masters behind them, You can not fool people who have worked it out. There is a power elite of the most evil you could imagine this vile elite group are demanding a New World Order not an order of good and freedom, but an order of enslavement that is what they want. A one world government headed by the anti Christ. This is coming and a lot of humanity will be trapped in it .You can tot fool me or many other people with open minds that the misery on this planet can not be solved, this misery was created these sick monsters want death They are so evil and so dumb that they do not realise that they are finished. Yes they will manage to get the Anti Christ in power and I suspect he will come out of either the middle east or Rome or may be the EU But the Devils power will be short lived and he will be thrown into the universal prison where all evil low life go, as for the scum that has created this misery through their puppets, their fate is sealed. They are going to be erased from the book of life no doubt God will destroy them delete them or they will go into a one dimensional world for a very long time. We know the governments are the puppets and they all lie to us, it is the so called political leaders, leaders what a laugh. It is these puppets who y the control of their puppet maters have created the misery on this planet. If you want your freedom back first all political leader especially those of the blood line should be removed out of power and thrown in a mental hospital where they belong. THEN WE PLACE IN POWER INTELLIGENT GOOD PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT IN POWER FOR SELF GAIN, BUT THERE TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT, FOR ALL HUMANITY AND THIS WILL HAPPEN.T he CIA Mi5 Mi6 Mossad are there to protect the Elite of the most sickening vile evil. One should note that the US forces were tracking Daesh a significant Maybe the US was tracking Daesh to accidentally drop supplies to them when the SAA showed up. obama at work. He is starting to ease out of the cover more every day.A muslim terrorist st its worst. I heard isis attacked the Syrian troops right after we bombed them but I cannot find this info. Anyone have a reference on that? It would show that the US and isis are in cohorts. 
2	What Michelle Obama Was Just Caught Doing With Her Daughters Will Make You FURIOUS On Tuesday, People magazine reports that first lady Michelle Obama traveled to Africa Monday with her mother and two daughters, Sasha and Malia. Im traveling with my mother and my two daughters, the first lady joked when asked about the trip. This is the special girl-power unit of the Obama household. We left the president behind because hes a boy. Michelle went on to claim that the reason for the trip, which includes stops in Morocco and Liberia, is to promote the Let Girls Learn initiative. The goal of the program is to assist young girls in obtaining a quality education. The first lady also reportedly met with several Liberian government officials prior to her meeting with President Ellen Jonson Sirleaf. I want you to keep fighting and stay in school, Obama told the girls in attendance. Im here to shine a big, bright light on you. Kosar, a Political Insider contributor, had a very different view of the trip. In his article, Kosar notes that Sasha and Malia Obama have been enrolled in a private school, costing a whopping $70,000 per year in tuition. Malia also plans to take a year off before attending Harvard University at a cost of $59,950 per year. This trip to Morocco will accomplish nothing, while taxpayers will receive a bill for millions of dollars in airfare, security, hotels, designer clothes and upscale restaurants, Kosar commented. This is simply the Obama family using their final opportunity to take an extended free vacation while still in power. Outrageous! Do you agree with Kosar? Do you agree that the Obamas need to be stopped? 
3	Congress Shouldnt Debate Copyright in a Reality-Free ZoneParker Higgins Copyright reform advocates were quick to proclaim that the document, authored by RSC policy staffer Derek Khanna, marked a watershed moment that suggested rational copyright policy might be possible post-SOPA. But if the document signaled a moment of clarity, it was a short-lived. Within 24 hours, the RSC had retracted the report, stating that it had been published without adequate review. Its hard to imagine that the RSC hadnt also been subject to pressure from the legacy content lobby. After all, those same lobbyists seem to have an allergic reaction to evidence-based discussions of what is fundamentally an economic policy. So what were the controversial opinions that had to be silenced before legislators might seriously debate them? Turns out they werent all that controversial. The report simply debunks some of the central tenets of Hollywoods copyright philosophy. For example, the report challenges the suggestion that copyright is intended primarily to compensate the rightsholder and not to benefit the public by pointing to that radical document, the U.S. Constitution (you know, the part that grants Congress the power to promote the progress of science and the useful arts.) The brief also refers to the expansive view of copyrights negative effects on archiving and access to knowledge. These problems have been documented extensively by academics, who have noted the reduced number of books available from the 20th century, and how that can deprive us of our cultural history. The reports suggests that copyright laws can discourage innovation and business in value-added industries, which has been well-documented in the music space and which we can see in practice in cases over companies like Aereo or Kaleidescape. The reports economic criticism of unreasonably long copyright terms echo a brief filed in the Supreme Court [pdf] a decade ago by over a dozen prominent economists. It doesnt require an economics Ph.D to understand the problem, though: given the facts, common sense would be enough. But common sense has been sadly lacking in DC debates about copyright law, and so has real data and thoughtful analysis. Instead, we see continuing reliance on content industry-funded reports using dubious methods to show hundreds of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars purportedly lost to piracy. Even though the Government Accountability Office has rejected those studies, they are still cited by industry representatives when pushing for new laws. The effort to shut out reality and careful analysis extends outside of the U.S. as well. Last year, for example, the Swiss government released a report weighing economic and statistical arguments regarding the impact of file-sharing and determined that, despite Hollywood fear-mongering, it was not worth ratcheting up its copyright law to address that impact. For that, Switzerland was summarily added to this years Congressional International Anti-Piracy Caucus watch-list. In explaining the addition, the Caucus described changes it wanted to see in Swiss law no matter that these Switzerland had already examined these very proposals and rejected them based on real evidence. The copyright lobby seeks to maintain the distortion zone around copyright policy in any number of ways. Sometimes its by excluding many stakeholders from the policymaking process, as we saw with ACTA, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), or even the six strikes graduated response agreement. Sometimes its by discrediting unprecedented grassroots actions like Januarys SOPA protests as dangerous and gimmicks. But it always has the effect of making a real discussion seem impossible. Its time to end the misinformation. EFF welcomes an informed discussion about copyright policy in the United States and around the world. There are issues on which reasonable people can disagree, and in those cases we need to find a consensus. But we wont get far with that discussion until all concerned and especially members of Congress insist on leaving the Hollywood-sponsored distortion zone.

2	Support Gay Marriage Or Leave My Class Teacher Tells Student According to recent reports, a Marquette University professor has come under fire after allegedly telling her students that they are not allowed to discuss gay marriage because it offends the LGBT community. The issue arose after one student wanted to apply ethical theories on all modern political debates. We had a discussion on all of themexcept gay rights, the student told reporters. She erased that line from the board and said, We all agree on this. Are you saying if I dont agree with gays not being allowed to get married that Im homophobic? the student asked his professor, Cheryl Abbate. Abbate responded that in the classroom, that opinion would be considered homophobic. When the student argued for his freedom of speech rights as an American citizen, he was told, You dont have a right in this class. In this class homophobic comments, racist comments, sexist comments will not be tolerated, Abbate told the student. If you dont like it, you are more than free to drop this class. Thats exactly what this student did. What do you think of this professors decision to censor students? 
1	Less than 24 hours after being promoted to staff sergeant within the corruption-plagued Saratoga Police Department, decorated canine unit dog Chips was implicated by fellow officers Friday in a long series of felony misconduct charges, a development that has cleared all members of the force previously accused of the crimes. 'It's really heartbreaking to see a good dog you admire and respect go down like this,' recently exonerated narcotics detective Charles Mitchell said of the 82-pound German shepherd, who had previously been commended for bravery on eight separate occasions and is now being held on counts ranging from harassment and evidence tampering to shooting an unarmed citizen during an investigation. 'I felt really conflicted about turning evidence on him, but he was somehow able to steal 18 pounds of marijuana from a bust we worked together and then hide it in my garage, so what was I supposed to do?' Other absolved officers added that Chips' arrest is especially difficult for the precinct after last month's suicide of police horse Ranger, who hung himself from a beam in his stable while under investigation for defrauding the department's pension fund of tens of thousands of dollars. 
1	Sitting on a rock atop the powerful, churning rapids, a grizzly bear reportedly caught Michael Phelps in its jaws Tuesday as the sexually mature Olympian leaped out of the water while swimming upstream to spawn. The grizzly was waiting patiently and just snatched Phelps right out of the air when he launched from the waterit was so majestic, said eyewitness Robert Simon, adding that the massive bear gorged on the protein-rich 18-time Olympic gold medal winner. Phelps managed to wriggle free for a second and was flopping around like crazy, but the grizzly stunned him smashing his body against the rocks. And then the bear just ripped open Phelps belly with its claws. At press time, the grizzlys two cubs were fighting over the last few scraps of the 64 competitive swimmer. 
1	The American people announced plans Monday to put on the Olympics, turn the volume down to a barely audible level, and leave the broadcast on in the background as they attend to washing dishes, sorting recycling, paying bills, preparing and eating meals, napping, and other quotidian activities in various areas of the house. 'I'll support our athletes just as long as their events don't interrupt the flow of my daily life,' said Allentown, PA resident Joann Kirkland, who recently declined a plastic Olympic cup from her local McDonald's. 'I do intend to stand in front of the television for a few minutes on my way to the computer when the diving competition comes on, clicking my tongue and saying 'too bad' when the U.S. competitor fails to win the gold.' Many Americans also stated that, if their televisions had a picture-in-picture feature, the Olympics would be the perfect thing to put in the smaller window. 
1	Following an intrusive line of questioning during an interrogation Sunday, CIA agent Martin Crenshaw reportedly apologized profusely to suspected enemy combatant Faisal Ishaq for bringing up the admittedly touchy matter of his connection to al-Qaeda cells in Yemen. Oh, jeez, Im so sorrythat was way out of line, a mortified Crenshaw said to Ishaq moments after posing an uncomfortable question regarding the detainees known ties to terrorist leaders, stating that he was fully aware of what a sensitive topic that was and acknowledging that it was not really any of [his] business. Gosh, I wasnt thinking at all when I said that, and I feel just terrible about putting you on the spot there. Please accept my apologies and lets just forget I ever said that. What do you say we just start this over, okay? In a further show of contrition, Crenshaw offered to lower the electrical current passing through Ishaqs testicles. 
1	A conversation with his boss set Latham, Towson & Green marketing executive Alex Henkel back an hour Monday. 'Jesus, I'm gonna be here until midnight,' Henkel, 31, said after the time-consuming chat. 'I've got tons of work to do today, and the last thing I needed was to have some bullshit pow-wow with [supervisor] Bill [Svoboda].' Svoboda called for the unproductive, 60-minute meeting to 'go over some general strategies and just make sure we're on the same page about things.' 
2	Michelle Obamas Staff Comes Forward, Releases Alarming Details About First Lady Well it appears that the public school lunch room isnt the only thing that First Lady Michelle Obama is terrorizing. According to staffers, her own husband, and a variety of other sourcesthe first lady is just plain mean. According to former staffer Reid Cherlin, Michelles office is a miserable place to work. According to Cherlin, Michelle is more obsessed with discussing fashion that what is happening in the world. Similar comments have come from Scott Goodstein, who worked on the 2008 Obama campaign and told reporters that he got yelled at by Michelle for creating ringtones. Although those behind the scenes have slowly been coming forward, there have been some public displays that reveal the First Ladys colors as well. For instance, in a speech in 2013, Michelle told the audience One of the things that I dont do well is [deal with hecklers]. Do you understand me? Listen to me or you can take the mic, but Im leaving. You all decide. You have one choice. Shes also been caught on camera rolling her eyes and disrespecting her peers. And she has a particular distaste for the woman that flock toward Obama claiming, I want to tell these women, Back off. Get a life. Its just embarrassing. What do you think? Is Michelle an embarrassing first lady? 
1	St. Luke's Lutheran Church was rocked by scandal Tuesday, when Rev. Bob Tillich, the church's pastor of 12 years, was arrested on suspicion of boring as many as 23 children within the congregation. 'Reverend Bob always seemed like the sweetest man,' parishioner Vera Crandall said following the arrest. 'When my son said he made him watch three 1975 filmstrips about the suffering of Job, I was shocked.' In the wake of the arrest, seven former Sunday-school students, dating as far back as 1989, have stepped forward with charges that Tillich subjected them to inappropriately tedious parables. 
1	In his fourth year of eligibility, eight-time Pro Bowler Cris Carter, who scored 130 receiving touchdowns on 1,101 receptions over the course of his career, finally entered the Hall of Fame on Thursday by paying $21 for a ticket. Carter was inducted by ticket seller Jennifer Mahoney, 26, who did not choose to speak on the occasion aside from saying 'Welcome to the Pro Football Hall of Fame,' thanking Carter for his $21, and directing him to the entrance. Carter, who played in Philadelphia, Minnesota, and Miami, spending the most productive years of his career in a Vikings uniform, chose to enter the Hall in street clothes. Carter was admitted with 643 others Thursday, including insurance salesman Rodney Whitford, 37, and bicycle mechanic Sophie Mancini, 22, who also paid the required amount for a ticket. 'Thank you,' Carter told the group of employees at the front entrance upon receiving his change. Thank you very much. Carter, who is fourth on the all-time receiving touchdown list, has thus far been denied admission to the Hall on five previous occasions, four times between 2008 and 2011, when selection committee voters decided not to induct him, and an additional time last month when he arrived at the Hall an hour after closing time. The newly enshrined Carter celebrated the honor by touring the Lamar Hunt Super Bowl Gallery with other paying customers, watching a retrospective on the 1958 NFL championship in the GameDay Stadium Theater, and purchasing a replica Hall of Fame bust in the gift shop. Carter was also surrounded by throngs of football fans, some of them wearing Adrian Peterson Vikings jerseys. 'This is unbelievable, a visibly stunned Carter said as he stood in front of the bronze bust of Redskins great Art Monkthe wideout who was inducted during Carters first year of eligibility and trails Carter in career touchdowns, receiving yards, and total receptions. Literally unbelievable. Its actually kind of crazy that this is real and Im not dreaming. Dammit, an emotional Carter added after catching a glimpse of Steve Largents Hall of Fame bust. I didnt want to cry, but now here I am crying like a baby. Many football analysts said that while they agreed Carter should be in the Hall of Fame just like anyone else who can afford a ticket, they disagreed with the admission process. 'For a player of Carter's stature to have had to wait this long is outrageous, Sports Illustrated football columnist Peter King said. 'Surely there should be some sort of special express line for former players. And there is just something wrong when a legend like Carter isnt at least given a 15 percent discount on tickets. But after all that, at long last, he actually got in, King added. Carter agreed, saying that while the past four years have been a bit of an ordeal, hes just happy to have been let into the Hall. 'It's wonderful to finally be here in Canton, alongside other greats such as Jerome Bettis, whom I just saw in the gift shop, and Andre Reed, whom I saw at the Canton Applebee's last night,' Carter said in a brief statement during which he also thanked his family for waiting patiently for him at a nearby outlet mall. 'I just want to say real fast, for the record, that I have 65 more touchdown catches than Michael Irvin. And 68 more than Shannon Sharpe, he continued. Okay, thank you. Get me the hell out of here. 
3	There Cometh the Time to Swallow the Red PillBernie Suarez Even those that look to a higher power for guidance make a choice to follow their said lord, savior or guru. You can choose to not follow a certain teaching or guideline. These choices as we will see, indirectly contribute to a subtle energy that is all around us called the zeitgeist. This is the spirit of our times and general trend of thought relative to the times. This zeitgeist on the other hand is a function of the total summary of all the information that is available to the world. This includes both truth and lies, information and disinformation. All information available in the world, combined with the natural energy that is in us all drives consciousness and thus heavily influences the meaning of the zeitgeist. The zeitgeist we speak about is (more directly) a reflection of the many paradigms that are in circulation. The paradigms are models of individual belief systems. A person has a paradigm they hold onto, which is a pattern of belief or a fixed arrangement of cognitive thought pattern. This pattern of belief or paradigm is often shared by more than just one person likely a group of other individuals who hold a similar paradigm. As for the paradigms, they are ultimately influenced by the world around you. The world around you consists of what you see and hear; what stimuli and what environment you are subjected to. This immediate world is (especially in todays Western world) heavily influenced by government. Government has mastered every form of propaganda in the form of entertainment, advertising, and media to influence (and many will argue CONTROL) the stimuli you are subjected to and thus to influence and control your belief system or paradigm. Big government control systems do this in hopes of casting a strong influence on the zeitgeist of our times in order to easily push their agendas. Orwell forgot that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. He also left out that for EVERYTHING there is a time and a season. Humanity will be and is enslaved for some time, but that time will break. Weve discussed before that the awakening process can be seen as a mathematical equation that predicts that in due time things will change as a function of mass awareness. We are seeing this mass awareness all around us every day. People are rising up against big government control and striking back with information and focused efforts to push truth into the public light. Given what we now know about the current spread of information, the direction of the modern day zeitgeist, the gifts that all humans have of intuition and desire to thrive; and given what we know about history and the history of oppressive government control systems, we must refer back to ancient wisdom. The wisdom that reminds us that for everything there is a time and a season. So with that piece of ancient wisdom in mind I want to say: There cometh a time to swallow the red pill. That time is now. The red pill is a symbolic item that represents the (inevitable) change in paradigm from the old paradigm. People world-wide are inevitably waking up and we can see that all around us. This waking up process is the vindication that many of us are waiting for. The awakening of the 800 pound gorilla in the room, the giant that is humanity. This giant has limitless power and is already breathing much heavier. Feel the energy of humanity breathing consciously on the new world order plans and every single criminal involved in this. They know their time is coming as do we. Hopefully we will see that day, but for now we can hang on to ancient wisdom as one of our assurances in this long journey. Have you swallowed the red pill yet? By comparison the Blue pill represents the pleasure of blissful ignorance. The red pill on the other hand, represents the truthful, harsh, difficult to confront reality. Morpheus (From the movie: The Matrix) said it better than any way I can put it: The time has come to face reality to avoid an incompatible irreversible disconnection from reality. Most will eventually choose the red pill. Some say mathematically speaking there are some who will never wake up. Will you be one of those or will you give in to the zeitgeist? 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	Michelle Rushes Off To ANOTHER Vacation, Find Out If Shes Coming To Where You Live Well it looks as though First Lady Michelle Obama is off again on another adventure. According to recent reports, shell soon be on her way to California, where she will visit Malia. Although Michelle will be flying into Los Angeles to host a DNC fundraising event, her primary focus is to visit 16-year-old Malia, who has been working on the sets of CBS television shows for the past month or so for an internship. Malia was last spotted on the set of Extant, starring actress Halle Berry. Looks like it will be a quick trip, though, as the Obamas will be taking off for their annual trip to Marthas Vineyard in the first weeks of August. What do you think? Would you rather use your tax dollars to pay for your own vacations, instead of the presidential familys? 
3	Does Silk Road Creator Ross Ulbricht Deserve Life in Prison?By ReasonTV Winter sat down with Reason TVs Zach Weissmueller to talk about his film, which chronicles the rise and fall of the online black market Silk Road and the life of its founder, Ulbricht. When the banksters are executed for their crimes, Ill give this notion a passing glance and then set him free. 
3	Personal Finance: The Betrayal of Form over SubstanceBy Susan Boskey Though Ive tried to help people see the forest for the trees regarding the truth about money, most ignore my message due to what I believe are societys demands of peer pressure. Unlike big corporate businesses, I lack the marketing budget that might encourage people to consider that what I am saying may, in fact, be for their benefit. So those with the biggest marketing budgets win the day. The problem as I see it is that most people have no idea of the degree to which they are manipulated emotionally by the marketing schemes of big corporations, the banking industry, in particular. Millions of people being marketed to, unwittingly buy-in to thinking about their life and money in a prescribed way per a calculated and very expensive marketing campaign; one launched by a bank to convince you of their version of financial reality, how you should think about money and what you should do. The commercial hooks cast to catch you are almost always emotionally-laced and subliminal. They prey on the normal and natural human needs to be loved, appreciated and respected personally, socially and at work. If you buy-in to their marketing suggestions of what will give you the emotional rewards you seek, you just might end up as a customer for life! Think: Chase Banks Chase Freedom campaign. Like the story of the Emperors New Clothes, were somehow supposed to just agree and never admit that the emperor is butt naked. However, this sort of going along to get along is exactly what will get you in deep trouble with your finances and eventually betray you like a cheating spouse. In this case, you are led down the primrose path of happy consumerism and easy credit to a life of debt-enslavement. All along, you thought you had done everything the way you were supposed to. But, alas, you learned the hard way. Commerce and humans are like apples and oranges. Commerce has the corporate mandate of a profitable bottom line if to stay in existence. You are their potential revenue unit. Yet humans are non-commercial flesh and blood entities and have the innate ability to discern the Emperors New Clothes if they so choose. With such discernment, the dust on your spectacles falls away and you are able to see manipulation for what it is. Your awareness provides an even greater range of choices than those prescribed by those who would benefit at your expense. Additionally, such discernment might interest you to advance your financial IQ, and also to learn the peoples (not the banking industrys) approach to wealth building and management. Please note: I am NOT saying that spending money and all that it can buy is bad. The nature of business is that it will always seek new and repeat customers. But it is virtually impossible for commerce to deliver on any of its subliminal messages of emotional and personal fulfillment in the long-term. What I AM saying is that it seems to me that most people, when it comes to responding to what is important in life, have given over the critical-thinking ability of their mind to the world of commerce with often disastrous results. Susan Boskey is author of the book, The Quality Life Plan: 7 Steps to Uncommon Financial Security. This book not only exposes the bottom-line of why more and more families need credit each month just to make ends meet, but also provides practical and transformational strategies, tactics and templates. By their use, you can reverse the downward trend of credit and debt while learning how to establish a long-term, debt-free lifestyle; one allowing you to genuinely build wealth despite the challenges of todays economic environment. To learn more or to purchase the book, visit her website at http://TheQualityLifePlan.com I have often mused that soldiers will spend years living away from friends and loved ones in dreadful and dangerous conditions, when a few hours of reading or documentary-watching could teach them what a crock war was and they should stay home. This essay from Susan Boskey has made me realize for the first time that debt and consumerism are driven by the same type of passive ignorance that lets young men and women go to war when its against their best interests. As an example, film director Adam Curtis made a four-hour documentary called The Century of the Self (viewable online for free) that explains in detail how we came to have the modern consumerism/debt driven society that manipulates human emotions to feed corporate profits. Watching it can teach a person how theyre being manipulated and teach them to avoid the consumerism/debt trap. But how many people will sit still for a four-hour documentary? Yet the same people who wont spend four hours learning to avoid the trap will work the equivalent of half a day, four hours, EACH WEEK ten percent of their income to pay interest on needless debt. Ive long said that if you think you cant afford to pay cash for something, you definitely cant afford to buy it on credit, which will be the purchase price PLUS INTEREST. As a result, Im 100% debt free, have been for most of my life, and can see now at my age that my entire life savings could have easily been eaten up over my lifetime by interest payments. The root of every problem in this reality is viewer-based. What was made perfect, was then convincingly portrayed as inadequate. Legend though its simplistic Beaty was abundant, cunning men spoke persuasively enough to change that by honing in on the fundamental deprivations we humans feel. After long enough time of men coming and going, living then dying, it is understandable then that we have forgotten, that we are but sojourners in this world. Especially with all the building men have constructed for future generations to marvel at, and then attempt to surpass, one could come to believe that our lives continue simply as a way to aqcuire more possessions before death. A thought I shutter at, if only men knew how ownership is a two way street. In order to own one must have put in some significant time dependent relatively to the item one owns and how humanity currently values it. Though we are sojourners, even possessions can slow us down, some to the point of death. We are not naturally mortal, but only the unnatural which kills men. We are our own worst enemies at times, and technology is currently the nuke poised to transform the world back into a slave like planet. 
1	The eight remaining justices of the Supreme Court met in chambers Monday to feast on the living flesh of retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, enacting an ancient tradition that began when the first chief justice of the Supreme Court retired and was summarily consumed in 1795. The Supreme Court, which has ritually eaten Sandra Day O'Connor (front row, second from right). Although the most important cannibalistic ceremony in American jurisprudence is closed to outsiders, some details of the ritual are inscribed within the High Court Scrolls. The scrolls, written in human blood and stored in the Justice Library Reading Room, have been studied by only a handful of legal scholars. 'Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist almost certainly consumed the greater part of O'Connor's brain and heart prior to the ritual feeding, in a rite believed to grant him the knowledge, wisdom, and courage of the devoured,' said American University law professor Donald Hewett. 'Any portions of O'Connor's brain and heart that Rehnquist refused would have been consumed by the remaining justices within minutes, as they chanted passages from her seminal opinions.' Hewett said the first woman appointed to the Supreme Court was gutted, strung up, and 'drained into stone goblets from which her blood was sipped like wine.' 'This quaffing of blood is traditionally accompanied by much singing and drumming,' Hewett said. If the ritual was performed in accordance with the court scrolls, O'Connor's body was then laid upon a traditional brass bier and borne up a five-story marble staircase to a consecrated inner sanctum, where clerks skewered the raw meat on wooden spits. Late into the evening, the Supreme Court justices feasted on the renowned federalist by torchlight. 'The ceremony is said to be quite moving,' said Zachary Katz, editor of the Yale Law Review. 'By consuming O'Connor's mortal body, the other justices seek a communion with her transcendent qualitiesher respect for the discretion of the court, her pragmatism, and her refusal to commit to abstract legal principles.' O'Connor has been prepared for the ritual since January 2005, when Chief Justice Rehnquist sprinkled her desk with the ashes of a virgin law clerk and pronounced, 'Receptum, receptum, receptum.' Tuesday evening, Rehnquist emerged from the 17-foot-tall, 13-ton bronze sliding doors of the Supreme Court building's west entrance and addressed those who had gathered in the oval pavilion. 'Hear us, Justice,' said Rehnquist, wearing a necklace of human bones and an elaborate headdress adorned with yak horns. 'In the abiding name of Jurisprudence we consumed her; in the eternal name of Law was she eaten; and as her flesh does become our flesh, so her wisdom shall become our wisdom, yea, through all time everlasting.' According to legal scholars, O'Connor's skin will be tanned and sewn into a ceremonial cloak, to be worn by the youngest justice, Clarence Thomas, as he lights the pyre upon which members of O'Connor's senior staff are burned alive. 
3	Smart Meters Transmit EMFs and RFs That Cause Non-Thermal Health EffectsBy Catherine J. Frompovich Recently in Pennsylvania, the ad hoc consumers group PASMAPennsylvania Smart Meter Awarenessissued a Press Release about the scientific and medical proof confirming adverse health effects from electromagnetic frequencies, which smart meters produce and use to operate. Those health effects are called Non-thermal health effects from microwave technology. Suggestion: Check out all your smart devices to see how much they output in the way of EMFs and RFs. That testing can be done by using a hand-held device that looks something like a Cornet ED 78S RF/LF Electrosmog Meter (hand held) shown on this website. Below is the PASMA Press Release, which is self-explanatory, and should explain more about EMFs/RFs and microwaves adversely affecting human health that readers really ought to know. By the way, pets are affected too! Literally, thousands of primary literature studies show the existence of non-thermal health effects from microwaves and other lower frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs), but current safety standards only recognize decades-old studies produced for radar known as thermal effects. When will state regulatory commissions require utility companies to bring EMF/RF safety studies and research up to date to scientifically reflect health problems precipitated by cell phones and towers, Wi-Fi, and AMI Smart Meters being retrofitted by electric, natural gas and water utility companies? According to Martin L. Pall, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Sciences, Washington State University, in his paper How to Approach the Challenge of Minimizing Non-Thermal Health Effects of Microwave Radiation from Electrical Devices published in the September 2015 issue of International Journal of Innovative Research in Engineering Management (pp.71-76), there are four important factors that make the biological activity of EMFs unpredictable in terms of intensity and unpredictable in general. In Table 1 of Dr. Palls published paper, he lists NON-THERMAL or Biological Effects from EMFs/RFs along with the apparent mechanisms that produce: Oxidative stress; Single strand breaks in cellular DNA; Double strand breaks in cellular DNA; Cancer; Breakdown of Blood Brain Barrier; Male and Female Infertility; Therapeutic Effects; Depression, diverse neuropsychiatric symptoms; Melatonin depletion, sleep disruption; Cataract formation; Tachycardia, arrhythmia sometimes leading to sudden cardiac arrestall from EMF/RF exposure. Dr. Pall concludes that Non-Thermal Health Effects of EMFs have been documented for over 40 years. PASMA, on the other hand, questions vested corporate interests supplying microwave technologies (cell phones, towers, Wi-Fi, Smart Meters, etc.) deliberately misinforming state regulatory agencies and consumers; producing only decades-old studies; and that electromagnetic frequencies are safe. PASMA believes there is legal standing for class action lawsuits to be filed against utility companies, including many states public utility commissions, especially in Pennsylvania where PA House of Representatives Consumer Affairs Chairman Robert Godshall refuses to bring Opt-Out bills for Smart Meters to the floor for a vote for over three years, thereby depriving Pennsylvanians of their constitutional right to redress for being made to live in fear and/or health-compromising/damaging conditions by PA PUC agency regulations interpretation of what the PA legislature passed into law (non-mandatory Smart Meters for utilities with 100,000 customers), particularly those customers and consumers whose health have been damaged by Smart Meters or whose dwellings have been damaged or destroyed by AMI Smart Meter fires. A recent meter RF/EMF pulse test by PASMA using a hand-held pulse-measuring device, verified that a PECO-installed AMI Smart Meter emits high EMFs every fifteen (15) seconds of every minute of every hour of every day of every month of every year. How much dirty electricity is that sending into homes and human bodies? Who will be responsible for the health problems they cause? 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. Her work has been published in national and airline magazines since the early 1980s. Catherine authored numerous books on health issues along with co-authoring papers and monographs with physicians, nurses, and holistic healthcare professionals. She has been a consumer healthcare researcher 35 years and counting. Catherines latest book, published October 4, 2013, is Vaccination Voodoo, What YOU Dont Know About Vaccines, available on Amazon.com. Her 2012 book A Cancer Answer, Holistic BREAST Cancer Management, A Guide to Effective Non-Toxic Treatments, is available on Amazon.com and as a Kindle eBook. Two of Catherines more recent books on Amazon.com are Our Chemical Lives And The Hijacking Of Our DNA, A Probe Into Whats Probably Making Us Sick (2009) and Lord, How Can I Make It Through Grieving My Loss, An Inspirational Guide Through the Grieving Process (2008) There should be class action suits against all of these utility companies within the USA and Canada to start and they should be accountable for the health/death they have caused. These corporations lied about the effects citing they were safe when they werent and this is FRAUD and they should be made to un-install all of their grid at their own expense and put up something that is safe like the free energy technology that has been suppressed for the past 100 years. This free energy should be rolled out with the backing of the governments and give the people what they deserve and not be held hostage for energy when it should be free and it is NOT the property of these lying Elites to do as they please. People make these people accountable and to start these class action law suits is a beginning, If our governments would only look out for the people instead of the corporations: This is another crime: Our governments should be back the PEOPLE NOT THE CORPORATIONS. Do we have faschism or what?????? Faschism? Shurely shum mishtake? alexandrahahahaha, youre an a $$ hole. Any way for these THIEVES called CITY LIGHT and other groujps of power generators will use any way to get what you use for power any way they can withoutl using employhees (( whcih cost money )) to get the power consumption you use /. /////////////////////////// get off the gridmakes life easier Minute after minute I have said it before and say it again EMF is not a problem; we have been living in an ocean of EMF for well over one half century and life span has increased over that period. GMOs are a problem; Fukushima is a problem, real big problem; CO2 emissions are an issue/problem EMF is not a problem. So you know more than the studies that prove that EMF IS DEFINITELY a problem? Youre either a paid troll or a complete weirdo. I just understand science you do not. 
2	Liberals Viciously Attack Sadie Robertson After She Says THIS Duck Dynasty star Sadie Robertson has become a hero and role model among young girls for her ability to stick to her morals and values even in her fame. I think the key to that is recognizing that its not all about me, its truly not, Robertson told reporters. God gave me this and this is all about God. Sadie is now designing her own clothes and has just published her own book. She has two million people following her on her personal Instagram account. And yet, she remains humble. I think if I would have come into this saying all of these followers are for me and these fans are for me, then it wouldve been really difficult, Sadie admitted in an interview. I think I wouldve gotten lost in it all. But coming into it with the mindset of all these followers are for God, all of this fame is for God, its not about making me famous. Sadie also expressed her relief that she doesnt feel the need to give in to the publics demands. Whenever you try to be someone that youre not, thats really hard, she concluded. You can really get confused and honestly, its so crazy. So Im thankful that I had a family that showed me that before I had to deal with it. What do you think? Do you support Sadie as a role model? 
3	This Is What a Currency Collapse Looks Like: Shopping Frenzy in RussiaMac Slavo Its a scenario weve seen repeated throughout history when a nations currency was threatened with destruction and its one we may soon witness in America should confidence in the dollar as the worlds reserve currency ever be lost. This is what a currency collapselooks like: It is a real panic, saidKirill Rogov, an independent political and economic analyst who is often critical of the Putin administration. The ruble is being devalued by 5 or 6 percent every day, and nobody knows how to stop it. The ruble has lost 50 percent of its value since the beginning of the year. Russian consumers afraid of losing their savings, as happened in a financial crisis in 1998, flooded stores, rushing to dump rubles that seemed to shrink in worth by the minute. Source: New York Times I dont need this car, he said with a shrug. He already owns two Porsches and a Land Rover. But, he figured the prices will soon go up and the ruble will probably go down. We are headed for a crisis, he said. [] Electronics stores were packed late into the evening as shoppers scooped up iPhones and iPads at prices over $100 lower than what they cost in the United States. Apples Russian website halted online sales due to extreme fluctuations in the value of the ruble while we review pricing. [] We came here because we have a problem. We have a lot of rubles which are losing value every second and we were too late to buy dollars at good price. We came here because prices on cars will increase tomorrow, Katya said. Source: ABC News Whats happening in Russia with the collapse of the Ruble is that merchants are being forced to raise their prices on goods every day. If the slide in the Ruble continues that could turn to hourly adjustments as was seen in Zimbabwe when their dollar crashed. Its a scenario that closelymimics the Argentine hyperinflation of the early 2000s. As noted by author Fernando Ferfal Aguirre in his first-hand account The Modern Survival Manual: Surviving The Economic Collapse, when the countrys currency collapsed citizens had no choice but to spend their money immediately on anything they could get their hands on. Failure to do so would cut their purchasing power in half within a matter of hours. Ferfal explains: The banks had closed, and no one knew how much the paper currency was going to be worth tomorrow, or even in the next couple of hours. I vividly remember being at the local Home Depot (called Easy in Argentina), and buying a few tools. The clerks would run around like crazy, replacing the old prices with the new ones, which sometimes changed within the same hour. It was depressing to see a price and notice that after peeling it off, the old price was still there. There was no time for the clerks to remove them. There would be a five layer sandwich of ever increasing prices that were maybe just a couple of days old. After a few months, people found that they were in a very delicate position. Many were without a job, and those who had a job were paid in a currency where the value was dropping by the hour. Sometimes you had the problem of reaching the cash register and finding out that the price had already changed. Excerpted From:The Modern Survival Manual: Surviving The Economic Collapse This isnt some theoretical forecast of what might happen during a currency crisis. This is how it was for peoplein Argentina in 2001-2002. People didnt believe it was happening at first and figured their government would save them. Of course, government officials saved themselves and their rich cohorts, but left the people with nothing. Eventually the banks shut down, ATMs ran out of money and cash became scarce. As Ferfal recollects, the economy quickly turned into a barter system where currency became physical assets like gold, silver, food, real estate and cars. Russia is yet another warning sign of whats to come for the United States. The timeline for the collapse of the U.S. dollar is unclear. But that it will happen is an inevitable fact of life. And given the current national debt, long-term liabilities, economic malaise and deteriorating wages, it is only a matter of time. When that time comesit is in your best interests to already positioned for it.You need to answer the question: What is money when the system collapses? The answer, when you think about it, is pretty simple. When currencybecomes worthless, physical assets will become money. In her book The Preppers Blueprint Tess Pennington outlines some key assets that will still have value both for your use and as barter should your dollars become worthless. Things like foods that last a lifetime, precious metals, fuel, clothing, footwear and firearms will be essential. Beyond that are other consumables that we take for granted today but will be worth a great deal should the currency collapse and stores run out of offerings. Cigarettes, alcohol, lighters, hygiene products, over the counter medicines, antibiotics and as Ferfal noted, hardware tools, are all worthwhile investments that will pay off in the future. While most Americans refuse to even contemplate the possibility of something like this happening in the United States, history has proven that every fiat paper currency ever invented has eventually fallen. We can pretend that this time is different, but wed only be deluding ourselves. Confidence is a very fragile thing and given the economic, financial and monetary troubles we face, it wouldnt take a whole lot to crush the world as we have come to know it. When it starts it will happen fast. Be prepared for it or face the horrific consequences that will follow.

3	Turns Out, Organic Farming Can Save the World from Global Warming, Climate ChangeOrganic farming can reverse the agriculture ecosystem from a carbon source to a carbon sink. Nothing in this article is meant to argue any of the nuances surrounding climate change/global warming. None. Of. The nuances. In fact, a handful of Chinese researchers went with the current climate change premise and discovered pleasant results that can put many fears aside. If going on the basis that greenhouse gas emissions are devastating the Earth, and that 35% of them come from agriculture; then were actually creating more problems by allowing Big Biotech, GMOs and exponential pesticide/chemical fertilizer use to spread unchecked. Based on this premise, these methods create more carbon release. Interestingly, organic farming turns that carbon source into a carbon sink, which means it absorbs more carbon than it releases. From Science China Press: To mitigate GHG emissions and retain soil fertility, organic agriculture might be a wise choice for decreasing the intensive use of synthetic fertilizers, protecting environments, and further improving crop yields. Recent research showed that replacing chemical fertilizer with organic manure significantly decreased the emission of GHGs. Organic farming can reverse the agriculture ecosystem from a carbon source to a carbon sink. To explore the potential of farmlands acting as a carbon sink without yield losses, Jiang Gaoming, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Botany, conducted an experiment on a temperate eco-farm in eastern rural China. Crop residues were applied to cattle feed and the composted cattle manure was returned to cropland with a winter wheat and maize rotation. Crop yield and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were carefully calculated according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories 2006. The end results? This study showed that replacing chemical fertilizer with organic manure significantly decreased the emission of GHGs. Yields of wheat and corn also increased as the soil fertility was improved by the application of cattle manure. Totally replacing chemical fertilizerwith organic manure decreased GHG emissions, which reversed the agriculture ecosystem from a carbon source (+ 2.7 t CO2-eq. hm-2 yr-1) to a carbon sink (- 8.8 t CO2-eq. hm-2 yr-1). A previous study from China placed synthetic nitrogen fertilizer as a big culprit for GHG. Although they acknowledge its usefulness in agriculture, they also acknowledge the eco-side effects as well as their primary role as the worlds biggest purveyor of N fertilizer. When the study above used nothing but chemical fertilizer, researchers found much less yield, more GHG as well as degradation of soil quality. They find that making full use of crop residues as forage for cattle, collecting and composting cattle manure, and replacing part of the chemical fertilizer input with organic manure have been successfully shown to be ideal choices to reduce energy waste and cut GHG emissions without crop yield losses. Also see: Study Quantifies Market Value of Natures Farming Services With hope, this study dissipates insidious and malicious attempts by psychopaths to further acceptance of unnatural depopulation plans. Its time to do away with psychopathic and false Malthusian theories which pave the way for untold suffering and incredible austerity. If there were an actual population problem, it would be remedied by raising living standards, using better food production techniques and allowing for its access not by suppression (which tends to explode population). Dont believe the psychopaths no one needs to be thrown from the boat. The likes of Monsanto and DuPont love to use scarcity to scare people into acquiescence, claiming that they are the hunger saviors of the world. Not only has the opposite been shown by them in the last 20 years, but their methods are actually destroying those resources that they bank on being so rare. What if the world knew the truth?

As the man ran off, Office Hartnett got out of his car and chased him, nailing him with multiple shots. The 30-year-old thug, after further investigation, was found to have pledged his allegiance to ISIS. Obama wants people to be defenseless in these types of situations. Hes insane. Please pray for this officers swift recovery. Is Officer Hartnett a true American hero? 
2	Watch: Footage Of US Airstrikes Against ISIS In Syria Released Recent footage has surfaced of the first U.S. airstrikes against ISIS, and according to Al Arabiya, approximately 120 terrorists have already been killed. While previous strikes had solely focused on halting the terror group from its takeover of Iraq, these recent attacks by the anti-ISIS coalition aircraft struck targets near the groups capital in Northern Syria. They were not carried out with the permission of the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad. Although, th group had insisted that strikes without consent would be considered an act of war. Still, Syrian officials are saying that they were informed of the strikes ahead of time. The United States Air Force partnered with several Sunni Muslim Arab states for the operation. Participants included Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Qatar. According to reports, the Qataris reportedly participated only in a supporting role. UPDATE: Sorry the video has been removed. 
2	Group Of Muslims Invade Florida Church And Do Something HORRIBLE It appears that the threats from Islamic extremists are far from over. According to recent reports, a storage building attached to a Christian church is Florida was recently set on fire, but not before the phrase Allah Akbar and threats like We see u were spray-painted on the building with a swastika. Police and firefighters responded to a fire alarm that went off early Monday morning at the New Shiloh Christian Church. The churchs sprinkler system helped to contain the fire, preventing the 125,000-sq-ft building from burning down entirely. Police are now investigating the incident as a case of arson and vandalism, but many believe that it should be charged as a hate crime. Allahu Akbar is an Arabic phrase meaning God is great. It has been associated with many terrorist attacks in the past. To find something like that in 2015 in unbelievable, Bishop Jacquelyn Gordon told reporters. Its just disturbing. What do you think? Are Christians now being directly targeted by terrorists? Are you sick of instances like this one being overlooked by the media? 
2	Nation Outraged Over What Obama Family Is Doing For Christmas Once again, the Obamas are heading off to Hawaii for their annual Christmas vacation at the expense of hardworking taxpayers. According to the Hawaii Reporter, there are familiar signs that the Obamas will be appearing in the close knit beachside community of Oahu. Although no official dates have been released, residents expect the presidential family to arrive sometime around December 20, after Malia and Sasha start their break from school. According to reports, Honolulu police have already begun conducting roadside drills to prepare for the presidents arrival, and Secret Service agents have been performing security checks around Oahu. Of course local residents have been informed that their holidays will likely be interrupted by the visit, and the waterways will be completely closed to the public for two weeks. Kailua Bay will also be closed. What do you think? Should we be bending over backwards to accommodate a vacation were already paying for?

Maximilian Kriegleder and Raymond Oung worked with Professor Raffaello DAndrea at his research lab to develop the small hexagonal pods that assemble into flying rafts. (Source) For now, the Distributed Flight Array appears somewhat limited, but with an ongoing investment in self-replication and self-assembly, the skys the limit. Here is another good example of self-assembling flying robots with some background about how this trend in Spatially Targeted Communication and Self-Assembly is developing: However, one would be remiss not to point out the darker side of military applications.

2	6 Officers Killed In The Week Following Beyonces Performance Its been one week since Beyonce delivered her controversial anti-law enforcement performance at Super Bowl 50. In the seven days since, six police officers throughout the country have been killed in the line of duty. Of course, President Obama has remained silent on the matter. Thats his lens on how he sees our heroes and our protectors, Sheriff Paul Babeu of Arizona told Fox News. Thats who he is. Anti-cop sentiment in this country is at an all-time high, as is violence against our officers. The situation has not been helped by the constant criticism and questioning of law enforcement by Democratic leaders and candidates. Cops have been painted as enemies in the battle for racial equality in the country. It is not acceptable in this country when unarmed black people get dragged out of cars or get shot, candidate Bernie Sanders said on the campaign trail in August. Fortunately, GOP candidates like Donald Trump have consistently defending those who risk their lives to ensure our safety. The police are absolutely mistreated and misunderstood, and if there is an incident, where its an accident done purposelywhich is a horror, and you should really take very strong actionor if it is a mistake, its on your newscasts all night, all week, all month, and it never ends, Trump said during a recent debate in New Hampshire. What do you think? Does the blatant hate speech towards officers in this country need to end? 
3	When The Insane Run The AsylumIn individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule. Friedrich Nietzsche Nietzsche was right. If you sat beside Ben Bernanke in his Washington Nationals box seats while he slurped on his ice cream cone and you had a general conversation with him, he probably wouldnt come across as being insane. That was a nice home run, hed say. Youd nod. But it is people like Bernanke who believe in collectivist systems and top-down economics who are insane. He believes that an economy should be overseen and manipulated, Soviet Union-style, by a few white men, preferably with beards, in a secretive boardroom. Here begins the real tragedy of the commons. Often, those who believe that we need these types of systems are not the best and the brightest. Even if they were, there still is no way to do it any better than without the top-down system. And for decades the kind of people who think they can have gravitated to the rings of power, gathering mostly in high-priced lower education colleges and universities where they are taught by prior collectivists over decades things that are truly totally insane. The fallacy of GDP has been thoroughly and unarguably refuted by many from the school of Austrian economics; a school I just call real economics. As Frank Shostack put it: We can thus conclude that the GDP framework is an empty abstraction devoid of any link to the real world. Notwithstanding this, the GDP framework is in big demand by governments and central bank officials since it provides justification for their interference with businesses. It also provides an illusory frame of reference to assess the performance of government officials. People like Bernanke, and probably 99% of people involved in the financial markets also believe that the increase in prices in an economy can be best gauged by things like the US governments Consumer Price Index (CPI). This, too, has been easily debunked for decades. You cannot add up the prices of everything in an economy and come to a number that makes any useful sense whatsoever. Try adding up the price of everything in an economy, I dare you. How do you add up the price of a particular haircut, an apple, a new Samsung Galaxy Note II and a buggy whip? You can already see some of the problems. What if hairstyles change (its been known to happen)? The Galaxy Note II didnt even exist a year ago, and while buggy whips used to be something of import, it isnt really all the rave with the kids nowadays. And, besides that, once you have added up all these numbers, what do you divide it by to come to anything that makes sense? Would you add up the cost of those four things and then divide by four? Assuming for a moment we even knew what the average price of those products were, what would the number be? A hundred and fifteen? Only to insane people does that number mean anything. Yet according to Ben Bernanke there isnt any inflation (he calls inflation a rise in prices). Tell that to people buying gasoline in the US where the average price per gallon has doubled in the last eight years. But then again, the Keynesians have been wrong at almost every turn. Just look at Ben Bernanke on the housing bubble. Or even Keynes himself versus the father of Austrian economics, Ludwig von Mises on the market crash of 1929. Yet since the grand majority of people involved in the financial world all went to Keynesian economics-based lower learning institutions, those of us who dont think collectively, who dont believe that government and central banks are a power of good for the economy, look crazy. After all, if almost all the big players in todays fascist financial world dont agree with us and the lemmings on CNBC dont agree with us, and theyve got fancy diplomas showing their deep indoctrination in Keynesian economics, then we must be wrong. [Editors Note: TDV Senior Analyst had already predicted the latest drought in gold and the gold stocks, as had Vin Maru of TDV Golden Trader] The same could have been said about the Soviet Apparatchick in the 1980s. Many a Soviet mother likely upbraided her child for even questioning the status quo. But if that child didnt listen to his mother and grew up to get most of his assets outside of the Soviet Union and outside of the Soviet Ruble, and even got himself outside of the Soviet Union before the collapse, he would have looked like a genius. But until the collapse hell always look crazy to most. WELL STAY OUR COURSE Despite being deemed the crazy ones well stay our course. Our position in gold and silver has certainly shown, in hard truth, that we have been and are on the right track. While it is possible it may take until 2014 to see massive returns, I submit that I am not so crazy for believing so. Whether you believe the coming collapse will take the form of the 1930s collapse or the 1970s inflationary collapse, in both cases, gold stocks were the best performing assets during both periods.

2	Major Restaurant Chain Blasts Gun Owners: Leave Your Firearms At Home The next time you walk into a Panera Bread, youd better leave your firearm at home. According to recent reports, the national restaurant chain has declare that, barring law enforcement officers, they ask that no one bring their guns into any Panera location. The chain issued its statement at the beginning of the week, claiming that although the company respects the rights of Americans, it is working on an initiative called Panera Warmth. The name refers to the environment they are attempting to create for their guests. And apparently, that environment is anti-second amendment. The copy is just one of a string of corporations that have asked customers to leave their weapons behind when entering the store. Chipotle asked the same of its customers in 2013, and Target and Starbucks have offered similar sentiments. The company, which brings is $2.4 billion dollars, has not yet faced any protests following its announcement. Panera CEO Ron Shaich told an NBC news reporter that Panera will follow state and local laws regarding firearms. Reportedly, the chain wont ask employees to enforce the policy. What do you think of Paneras new policy?

Pamela Geller noted that approximately 7,000 migrants have run off from the Brandenburg shelters. They are relocating on their own to relatives to Germany or abroad, with Mexico and America suspected as the main destinations. Several hundred refugees have been disappearing each week. This is only a fraction of the fears that Conservatives had for the refugee program, and they seem to be realizing. Of course, the primary question at hand is where the migrants intend to hide. What do you think? Are you sick of Obama putting out country at risk? 
2	Teen Fights To Keep Pledge Of Allegiance At Public School Weve seen this same issue come up time and time again. Atheists throughout the country are attacking the pledge of allegiance, demanding that Under God needs to be removed. Now, one atheist family is actually suing their school district because they claim that the recitation abuses their atheist creeds. The Matawan-Aberdeen Regional School District has since sparked a heated debate. According to one Christian girl named Samantha Jones, the phrase Under God protects everybodyin spite of their religious beliefs. The proclamation, she claims, reinforces the idea that our rights are not granted by the Government but are instead given to us from a higher power. People in this country are forgetting that the United States was founded on Christian values. Watch the conversation between Samantha and Fox News host Neil Cavuto and tell us what you think.

3	Government Disregards Data on People Killed In High Speed Police ChasesBy Amanda Warren USA Today reports on another aspect that often goes forgotten when it comes to safety and law enforcement. How frequently do people get injured or die when police go on high-speed pursuits? Is the frequency increasing? Decreasing? Is it being taken seriously or for granted? The USA Today investigation believes that the number of traffic deaths caused by police high-speed pursuits is weakly tracked by an off-shoot of the Department of Transportation and under-reported potentially by thousands. They found: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration overlooked at least 101motor-vehicle deaths in 2013that were related to a police chase, according to a USA TODAY review of police reports and internal documents, court records, police-car videos and news accounts based on police statements. NHTSAs count of 322 chase-related deaths in 2013 the most recent year for which itsrecords are publicly available understates the total by at least 31%, the investigation shows. NHTSAsundercountsuggests that the actualnumber of people killed in police chases since 1979 could be more than15,000 far more than the 11,506 chase-related deaths found in the agencyspublicrecords and that chases result in a death much more frequently than studies have stated. Incredible. There could be more, because USA Today found this data by searching Internet and news databases. They found that about one-fourth of people who died during high-speed pursuits were innocent bystanders, and another one-fourth were passengers in the cars of those that were fleeing police. When there is talk of people shirking their duties under the law as a public servant lets not forget this egregious defiance of the law by the government.

1	Local resident Paula Sizemore, 29, who has consistently dominated her 28-year-old boyfriend Sam Leach during the entirety of their two years together, told reporters Monday that the couple's relationship should in no way be considered a power struggle. 'The key to success in any loving partnership is communication and mutual respect,' said Sizemore, who routinely ignores Leach when she's not interested in what he is saying and often mentions his shortcomings in front of the couple's friends. 'With Sam and I, there's never any petty bickering or one-upmanship. In fact, I don't think we've had an argument in months, not since I made him get rid of that god-awful [1978 Dodge Charger] he was always working on.' At press time, Leach was unavailable for comment, as Sizemore had cut him off before he could speak. 
2	Trump Under Fire After Revealing What He Plans On Doing To Captured Terrorists Trump has just announced that he will be bringing back waterboarding once he is elected, as a way of interrogating captured terrorists. Waterboarding involves covering the face of a man or woman with a towel, and repeatedly pouring water over their face. It essentially imitates the feeling the drowning. Liberals are outraged that he would even consider bringing this back. However, this is sometimes the only way to get a terrorist to talk. It can save the lives of many Americans. These people that are captured deserve worse than this. They deserve worse than death. Do you support Trumps extreme stance against terrorists? 
3	Congress and the Justice Depts Dangerous Attempts to Define Journalist Threaten to Exclude BloggersMorgan Weiland On July 12, the Justice Department released its new guidelines on investigations involving the news media in the wake of the fallout from the leak scandals involving the monitoring of APand Fox News reporters. While the guidelines certainly provide much-needed protections for establishment journalists, as independent journalist Marcy Wheeler explained, the DOJs interpretation of who is a member[] of the news media is dramatically narrower than the definition provided in the Privacy Protection Act and effectively excludes bloggers and freelancers from protection. This limiting definition is causing alarm among bloggers like Glenn Reynolds on the right as well. While the DOJs effort to limit the scope of who can be recognized as a journalist is problematic, it doesnt have teeth. Guidelines are, well, guidelines. But the report is part of a broader legislative effort in Washington to simultaneously offer protection for the press while narrowing the scope of who is afforded it. Importantly, Congress introduced federal shield bills in Mayboth ironically named the Free Flow of Information Act of 2013that arguably would exclude bloggers, freelancers, and other non-salaried journalists from protection because they are not included within the bills narrow definition of who qualifies as a journalist. If these billssupport for which the White House reaffirmed in its DOJ reportpass without change, Congress effectively will create two tiers of journalists: the institutional press licensed by the government, and everyone else. Thats a pretty flimsy shield if what we are really trying to protect is the free flow of information. Not-So-Free Flow of Information Acts Both the House (H.R. 1962) and Senate (S. 987) bills use the euphemistic phrase covered person as a stand-in for journalist. In defining covered person, the bills effectively describe an individual working for a mainstream news organization and threaten to exclude bloggers. The requirement of doing journalism for money and on a consistent basis, coupled with the suggestion that such activities happen within a larger journalistic organization, paints a picture of a New York Times correspondentand arguably excludes bloggers, freelancers, and other non-salaried individuals who practice the craft of journalism and need the most protection. Dj Vu: Sen. Schumers 2009 Shield Bill Amendment Excluding Bloggers, Freelancers Congress hostility to bloggers and independent journalists is nothing new. Indeed, EFF documented and fought against Sen. Charles Schumers (D-N.Y.) 2009 amendment to a similar federal shield bill that explicitly exempted bloggers and others from protections. Clearly, Congress wasnt listening. Though the prior legislation died after WikiLeaksin conjunction with the New York Times and othersstarted publishing a trove of State Department cables in late 2010, Congress has revived both the good and bad. This time around, anti-blogger language is baked into the bills text. Sen. Schumer has re-introduced the Senate version with the restrictive definition of journalist, along with a large national security exception that would render the bill meaningless in the cases where a reporters privilege is needed the most. Win-Win Legislative Fix: Define Journalism, Not Journalist So whats the solution? Congress should link shield law protections to the practice of journalism as opposed to the profession. Not only does this fix ensure that bloggers and freelancers are not categorically denied access to the protections to which they should be entitled under the law, but also it addresses lawmakers concerns, recently voiced by Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) in a June 26 op-ed, that in the absence of a legal definition of journalist anyone can claim to be one, thereby diluting the law by stretching it beyond any relevant boundaries. We can have a line in the sand; it simply needs to be one that is meaningfully tied to what journalism actually isa point that Wheeler eloquently makes in endorsing a similar solution. Plus this interpretation has the weight of precedent: EFF successfully argued in Apple v. Does in 2006 that the goal of a shield law is to protect the free flow of information, not the people we historically think of as journalists. And as EFF has explained, many federal courtsuse a test to determine if a state-level reporters privilege applies that turns on the practice of journalism, asking Fortunately, the bills currently moving through Congress have really good language defining journalism. Consider the Houses definition: If we dropped the bills definitions of covered person and relied instead on the House bills definition of journalism, then wed be well on our way to strong shield laws that protect the practice of journalism, regardless of what label we attach to the person doing it. Why We Need to Broaden the Proposed Shield Now Congress is moving forward with these anti-blogger bills: the Senate Judiciary Committee is slated to markup the bill later this month, the House has referred its bill to two Judiciary Subcommittees, and the White House reiterated its support for the bills in the DOJ report. Further, legacy media organizations like the Society for Professional Journalists and the Newspaper Association of America have voiced strong support for the bills passage. Sending a clear message ensuring that bloggers are in fact journalists and that their work is journalism is even more important now than it was when Congress considered a federal shield law in 2009 because recent district-level decisions have denied this basic reality of contemporary journalism. Most prominently, in a ruling from October 2011, a federal district judge in Oregon suggested that bloggers not affiliated with a major media organization dont fall under the protection of the states shield law. Such state-level narrowing of the scope of who a journalist is cannot be allowed to set the trend for the entire country. 
3	The Punishment for Ignoring Obamacare Penalty Might Surprise YouJoshua Krause However, for all its bluster and intimidating language, the Affordable Care Act might not have any teeth. Recently, a tax expert writing for Forbes noticed that Obamacare, while far-reaching and burdensome in terms of what it demands from the American people, offers little to no repercussions for anyone who would be tempted to avoid it. It seems that when the bill was first being drafted and it came time to outline the penalties for failing to comply, somebody got cold feet. Nobody has a clue whats really going to happen. You see, when the Act became news in 2010, rumors were flying about what would happen if you didnt pay the penalty. It was politically tricky. The consequences needed to be enough to make you want to conform with the Act but not so onerous that Congress would be loathe to vote for it. The final language in the Act declared that the penalty shall be paid upon notice and demand which sounds really intimidating. The language went on to note that the penalty would be collected in the same manner as an assessable penalty under subchapter B of chapter 68 which also sounds pretty serious especially since subchapter B references some pretty nasty penalties for otherwise not complying with other sections of the Tax Code. So what would the penalty for noncompliance be? Jail time? Nope. The language in the Act specifically rules out jail time, saying at Section 500A(g)(2)(A): In the case of any failure by a taxpayer to timely pay any penalty imposed by this section, such taxpayer shall not be subject to any criminal prosecution or penalty with respect to such failure. Well thats good news for anyone who wants to take a principled stand against Obamacare. At least you wont be thrown in jail, though Im sure there will still be some horrendous consequences for noncompliance, right? Nope. Thats not allowed under the Act. At 500A(g)(2)(B)(i), the Treasury cannot file notice of lien with respect to any property of a taxpayer by reason of any failure to pay the penalty imposed by this section. So, no liens. Then, clearly there will be levies or seizures on your wages and account, right? Nope. Not that either. Under 500A(g)(2)(B)(ii), the Treasury cannot levy on any such property with respect to such failure. To recap then, by law, you have to pay the penalty. But if you dont, you wont go to jail, you wont be liened and you wont be levied for collection. Well thats interesting to say the least. The author found that the only thing that the IRS can do to you, is seize part of your tax refund, should you refuse to comply. And even then its hard to say what theyre planning to do. The IRS has only said that they have the ability to garnish your refund. Theyve yet to say whether or not theyll go through with it (garnishing a refund is easy enough though, so I assume they will). Now Im no tax expert, so Im reluctant to offer this article up as advice. For this year, it may be wise to pay up, just to be safe. But obviously there will be plenty of people who wont pay. If they dont face repercussions, they may be unwittingly paving the way for a massive noncompliance movement.

3	Could You Imagine? Greek Banks May Be Closed for a MonthToprevent widespread bank runs and to keep money from leaving the country, the Greek government instated numerous capital controls to keep the lid on their economy, such as placing a daily withdrawal limit of 60 Euros. When they first created these mandates earlier this month, they were only supposed to be in place for a short period of time. But now it looks like the Greeks may be facing a long-term banking crisis. Keep this in mind for when Americas debt crisis finally blows up. You dont own the money in your bank. It belongs to the bank, and its insured and regulated by the government, who are bought and paid for by the banks with the money you put in their accounts. When the system falls apart, youve got to see the writing on the wall and get your money out early. Once the crisis starts, your savings will be handed over to the authorities, and rationed out at their leisure. (see how much debt the world owes).

We either live in and relate to Reality OR we will do anything to avoid Reality and have elevated this practice (avoiding Reality) to a Scientific Art. Interesting thought. If only it were that simple. Since the day they were born they have been vaccinated, fluoridated, medicated, indoctrinated, investigated, incriminated, incarcerated before they are finally cremated. Personally I am not keeping as much money as I used to, in the bank not that there has been that much to begin with!! It seems like what happens in Europe will drift to the US in the not distant future!! So with that said maybe some folks might want to invest in a home safe??? 
2	Crowd Boos Obama During Wrestling Match Throughout his presidency, Barack Obama had prided himself on being one of the most popular presidents in United States history. As hip as he might think he is, his approval ratings tell a very different story. After years of deception, the American public is hitting their breaking point. Conservatives throughout the nation are tired of Obamas ego, which frequently encourages him to act more like a dictator than a president. Watch the clip below, showing a cocky Obama appearing on an episode of WWE Raw. He doesnt get the reception he is hoping for, and is even booed by a stadium of patriotic Americans. It is clear that Obama no longer has the respect of the American people, and he is quickly losing respect overseas as well. What do you think? Do we need a new leader in the White House immediately? 
1	After the fourth such interruption of the night forced him to pause Thursdays Republican presidential debate, frustrated moderator Chris Wallace sternly reminded attendees to refrain from any John Kasich chants while other candidates were speaking. Please, ladies and gentlemen, lets keep this debate respectful, said Wallace over the din of the effusive crowd, admonishing audience members for cutting into Chris Christies time by erupting into loud impromptu chants of Ka-Sich! Ka-Sich! Ka-Sich! I dont want to have to call security, but if you continue to chant loudly and hiss at the other participants, I will have each person in the audience removed. Aw, for Christs sake, not again. At press time, half the crowd was shouting John while the other half responded with Kasich. 
2	Muslims Everywhere Are FURIOUS After Local Patriots Take Massive Stand Against Shariah Law According to recent reports, a Muslim woman in Manchester was just asked to leave a schools parent night for wearing a headscarf. The college claimed that the decision was made for safety and security reasons. Reports indicate that Maroon Rafique was prevented from entering Manchester College by security staff, who told her that there was a ban on any kind of face covering. Rafique was wearing a full veil. When she offered to sit in a part of the room where she would not be seen, security still refused. Im born in this country and British. Why should what I wear offend anyone? Rafique asked reporters. All I wanted was to find out the information to help my son go to university. The school is standing by their actions and their policy. At all times we need to be able to identify all individuals easily in order to maintain safety and security and therefore we ask that faces are clearly visible while indoors, a spokesman claimed. Our dress code is reviewed through our quality improvement group and we will take this situation into account at the next review. Still, several Muslim rights groups are unhappy with the decision. What do you think? Was Manchester College justified in enforcing their policies? 
1	Team doctors announced that Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara was cleared to return to the ice for the third period of tonight's game with the Calgary Flames after he used the 15-minute intermission to rehabilitate from a fractured skull and broken leg he received during the first period of play. 'He's a tough kid,' said team physician Dr. Thomas Gill, adding that Chara will forego wearing a brace that would hold together his snapped femur so that his mobility is not impeded. 'Because his head is so swollen, he probably won't be able to fit into a helmet, but he prefers it that way.' Chara didn't miss one shift during the third period, tallying one assist and an empty-net goal. 
2	ALERT: Obama Bans Bibles And Christmas Cards For Our Troops, But Allows THIS? According to recent reports, the United States military has ordered troops serving in Muslim countries overseas to observe the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. As if that werent disturbing enough, the orders come at a time when regulations banning any sign of Christianity are at an all time high. The order appeared in a statement on a U.S. Central Command website, but has since disappeared. The site reportedly said that soldiers are expected to be familiar with host-nation customs and courtesies to help facilitate a long-lasting mutual respect with local communities. It also stated that U.S. military members serving in countries that observe Ramadan are required to adhere to certain practices while outside U.S. installations. Ramadan is a countrywide religious celebration, Capt. Dan Sickles, host nation officer in-charge claimed. Members should not make light of local customs and should also expect that during daylight hours host nation customer service will be abbreviated and less accommodating. What do you think? Is this absolutely disturbing? 
3	Elected and Above the Law: Bill Would Exempt Lawmakers from Prosecution of Nearly Any CrimesMac Slavo Granted, most of the political class is already de facto above the law to begin with. But now, a lawmaker in Oklahoma has introduced a bill to officially give most lawmakers, judges, appointees and holders of high office immunity from prosecution. The bill proposes to strip away the ability of a local level prosecutor, such as a district attorney, from being able to bring charges against anyone holding a government position. The text reads: Under the legislation, only an Attorney General would be able to bring charges against such a person, who would effectively live in a separate class of citizens who are above the law. So long as they are in office, any public offense would not be considered a punishable crime. As Counter Current News reported, this has at least one local prosecutor up in arms over the abuse of power: The only justification offered for this outrageous and odious piece of legislation (for how can one make a law exempting ones self and peers from the law?) is to combat politically-motivated malicious prosecution, as in the case of former Texas Governor Rick Perry, who is being prosecuted for abuse-of-power (or how the irony twists round-and-round in this case). So, to prevent abuse-of-power in frivolously prosecuting elected or appointed officials for alleged abuse-of-power, these officials should have immunity from the law to begin with? And corruption already runs rampant in the halls of Congress, both on the state and federal level. If Oklahoma adopted this law, it would likely only be a matter of time before other states do so as well. Washington would be on this yesterday, if possible. This would absolutely cement the culture of corruption in politics, giving carte blanche for all sorts of behavior and all manner of deals involving conflicts of interest. The politicians could do almost anything and so long as they tow the party line (of the two-headed, single party system), they would operate under total immunity. But as for everyone else, not so much, of course. The little people will continue to get the squeeze, facing prosecution and significant financial penalties for even petty crimes and misdemeanors, as well as imposed mandatory insurance policies, increased taxes and much more, generally laid upon these taxpayers by appointed and elected officials doing favors for their corporate lobbyist partners-in-crime. Thats why the U.S. has the largest prison population in the world, with more than 2 million people behind bars. Thats why the U.S. has a guilty-until-proven-innocent system in place, with more than 72 government-sanctioned non-criminal reasons to suspect some of being a potential terrorist. Thats why the U.S. operates under a nightmare scenario where civil asset forfeit seizure laws have been used to steal peoples homes and property, even when they have not been charged with a crime. This is how the other side lives. While it is true that there are plenty of bad guys committing some awfully heinous crimes, it is also true that there are far too many laws in a country that was once founded on freedom, but is now swallowed up in bureaucracy resulting in prisons filled with offenders whove committed non-violent crimes, victimless crimes and even petty and sometimes bizarre offenses. And there are plenty of corrupt officials enforcing this system, but many of the judges and LEOs dont even agree with the laws they are enforcing and sentences they are handing out (some of which are mandatory under statute). Those same judges and LEOs would be powerless to arrest the politicians who made these laws even if it were clear that laws were broken and abuses occurred. Even if they wanted to, not that Im holding my breath. Enter the trump card an entire deck of get-out-of-jail-free cards. What do you think about that? You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com, where this first appeared. 
2	Hillary Slammed With Felony Charges There Is No Way Around THIS Former Secretary of State potential presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has come under fire for her use of a private email account and server to conduct government business during her time in the White House. The action is more than a lapse in judgmentin fact it might be a blatant violation of the Federal Records Act, requiring all government and public business and documents to be stored, held, and accessible by the government. Hillary also demonstrated a lack of common sense when she decided to use an unsecured Blackberry to conduct State Department business while overseas. The action clearly compromised the security of her conversations and the government as a whole. Now, retired Lt. General and former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency Mike Flynn has come forward to claim that it is very likely that Hillarys server was compromised by China and Russia, and potentially even Iran and North Korea. What do you think? Does Hillary deserve to be behind bars instead of campaigning behind the podium? Should she be punished for her carelessness? 
2	Angry Muslims Attack Clint Eastwood And Make THIS Unthinkable Demand According to recent reports, a Muslim group has just come forward to demand that Clint Eastwood and Bradley Cooper stand up and speak out against American Sniper. The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) claims that Americans have been making anti-Islam comments in association with the film. The group reportedly feels that they are being put in danger. ADC takes these threats seriously and is reaching out to you in an effort to help reduce the hateful rhetoric, the group wrote in an open letter to both Eastwood and Cooper. It is our opinion that you could play a significant role in assisting us in alleviating the danger we are facing. I am asking if you are willing to make a statement against the violent rhetoric being exhibited. The statement should make it clear that we cannot tolerate hate and bigotry here in America. It seems ridiculous that an organization would hold a movie responsible for discrimination. Perhaps the sentiment in America has less to do with a feature film and more to do with current eventssayIslamic terrorism? What do you think of the request? 
1	Texas Christian University has been invited to join the Big East athletic conference, an opportunity that would grant them higher visibility and prestige, as long as they 'bring some of those hot Texas girls along,' Commissioner John Marinatto said Monday. 'We are happy to welcome the Horned Frogs to the Big East, as they represent a fine sporting tradition, and also we could really use some new girls around here,' Marinatto told the assembled reporters at a press conference. 'Boston College had those cute little Catholic girls, but they left when the Eagles went to the ACC, and we could really use some nice Texas-cowgirl trim. Frankly, West Virginia doesn't give it up as much as you'd think, even though they'll do just about anything once you get them liquored up.' TCU athletic director Chris Del Conte said he was happy to hook the Big East up, explaining that the conference's automatic BCS bowl bid was more than compensation for Syracuse girls being 'totally flat.' 
2	California School Announces Transgender Bathrooms For Kindergarteners According to reports, a California elementary school has just eliminated gender-specific bathrooms in an effort to protect children who do not identify as male or female. Miraloma Elementary School in San Francisco recently announced that their Kindergarten and first grade students will share bathrooms, and older children will have gender-neutral bathrooms as well. While the bathrooms will have separate stalls, they can be occupied by either gender. Theres no need to make them gender-specific anymore, Principal Sam Bass told reporters. We changed the signs, we changed the way we teach our students that we dont have boys and girls restrooms, we have restrooms. The announcement was in alignment with California law, which allows students to use whichever bathroom belongs to the gender they identify with. So far, no parents have complained about the measure. In fact, some parents have even praised the decision. Parents like Jae, who has a transgender son enrolled in the school, is happy that he can choose whichever bathroom he likes. What do you think? Is this just wrong? 
2	Al Sharpton Is Getting Fired After Something Amazing Happened According to recent reports, Al Sharpton was fired from MSNBC after a $20 billion racial discrimination lawsuit was brought against him. The Hollywood Reporter reports that even though the FCC has not yet ruled on the proposed merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable, the National Association of African-American Owned Media has just filed a lawsuit claiming at least $20 billion in damages. The group claims that the two giants discriminate against black-owned media. The group first made headlines when they filed a similar suit against ATT and DirecTV in December. Now, the plaintiff is targeting Comcast and TWC, as well as several African-American advocacy groups, including MSNBC host Al Sharpton. The group claims that these parties are all facilitating discrimination. Rumors have sparked of Sharpton losing his prime TV show as a result. What do you think of the lawsuit? UPDATE Aug 27: MSNBC is putting their morning talk show host, Al Sharpton, out to pasturehis show will now air on Sunday mornings at 8:00am. Thats quite the demotion: his show previously aired at 6pm on weekdaysits now moving from five shows a week to just one show a week, and now at a time where hardly anyone is watching TV. Sharpton has been a controversial choice for MSNBC almost since the onset. He has a long history not as a media pundit, but as a racial agitator. In recent months, MSNBC has faltered in the ratings. A number of shows have been axed, and a number of once-promising pundits have been fired or demotedand, clearly, Sharpton is on his way out as well. -LibertyNewsNow 
1	Entertaining outlandish delusions of actually getting in a solid eight hours of sleep, 29-year-old Josh Briner is honestly under the impression that he will be going to bed early, sources confirmed Thursday. I made sure I had no plans tonight so that I can just turn in at 10 and get some serious rest, said the poor, naive fool who despite having a laptop next to his bed, four different shows he needs to catch up on, and a proclivity for wasting hours at a time on social media sites is genuinely convinced that he will be asleep at a reasonable hour. Itll be nice to wake up feeling refreshed for once. At press time, Briner reportedly said fuck it, resumed watching Sherlock on Netflix, and vowed that tomorrow hed definitely be in bed by 9. 
1	Members of the New York Yankee organization's literary-review board are calling Play Ball!, the newly released semi-autobiographical children's book authored by catcher Jorge Posada, a 'heartwarming tale about learning the game and making new friends' and 'a means used by the writer in a blatant attempt to further his anti-Yankee-management agenda.' 'Passages like the one on page six, in which young Jorge's Little League coach 'Mr. Joe' starts batting Jorge lower and lower in the lineup just because his knees have been bothering him, and the character's accusations on page eight that 'Mr. Joe is just playing favorites with his son D.J. and the new kid from Arizona who doesn't like playing catch with me' seem to reveal a feeling of discontent that would probably be better dealt with by speaking to Yankee staff and personnel in person,' said board director Lee Mazzilli. 'Particularly troubling and transparent is page 12, where the team's sponsor, a shipbuilding-company owner referred to only as 'The Big Boss,' refuses to pay Jorge millions of dollars to stay on the team 'when it comes time for him to leave.'' Posada would not comment on the implications of the story's conclusion, in which young Jorge asks his parents to move 'so [he] can play baseball with the kids across town.' 
3	Mainstream Media Finally Admits to Massive Gold ManipulationJoshua Krause If there was no funny business going on, then there would be no reason to buy physical gold. Doing so is basically a middle finger to the banks, and can be your way of telling the manipulators that you arent playing their game. If anything, this market rigging has been solely responsible for the growth of the gold movement. And make no mistake, it is a political movement, just as much as it is a financial movement. With the price being kept artificially low, everyone who knows about this manipulation, also knows that they are getting a great deal when they buy precious metals. They know what its really worth, and realize that in the long term, the manipulation cant last forever. Unfortunately (or fortunately if youve already bought gold), the mainstream media has done nothing to inform the public of these market shenanigans. They have long derided gold investors by calling them conspiracy theorists, and claiming that gold is nothing more than a bubble. However, it appears that the media is finally coming around to the idea that these markets are rigged, for reasons that I can only speculate. I cant fathom why their corporate handlers would allow these talking heads to fess up to the true nature of precious metals. Perhaps after buying gold at artificially low prices for so long, they are going to make a windfall by hyping up its manipulation, thus bringing the price back up. Take a look at this CNBC report, and decide for yourself. 
2	Clint Eastwood Sends Trump A Request To Take Down Hillary Clinton Client Eastwood, a prominent Libertarian, has just made public his feelings about the presidential candidates. He started out vague, not targeting any candidates in particular. I think theres quite a few of them who are really good people, he said. He then narrowed his opinion to a couple candidates. First, he advocated his support of Donald Trump. I think people are looking for somebody who is outspoken and who isnt afraid. And he seems to have kind of a fearless attitude. He also went on to compliment Ben Carson. I like Ben Carson because he is kind of a common sense guy. Finally, he reiterated his distaste for Hillary and his desire for either Trump or Carson to win over her. To be realistic, Trump is the one of the two that has a real chance of beating Hillary. And we must say, the odds are in his favor. Will you vote Trump for president in 2016? 
2	Woman Has Been Milking Welfare For 12 Years, Her Thoughts On Getting A Job Are Sickening [VIDEO] It seems like every day we hear another story about someone abusing the welfare system. 30-year-old Kiara from Baltimore, Maryland is just another example of what can happen when someone feels entitled to receive services. Kiara has been on welfare for 12 years, since she turned 18. Since that time, she has made no effort to get off of public services. When she was asked in a documentary about getting her job, her response was simple: Im comfortable with it and I feel like I dont need to look for one [a job] because I get a check from the government every month. Kiara is also the mother of four children. She was living in government housing until she was kicked out because she didnt report that her boyfriend was living with her. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Are people like Kiara what is wrong with our country? 
2	BREAKING: Country Puts An END To The Madness, Deports 50k Muslims... Watch What Happens According to some shocking new reports, Austria is planning to deport 50,000 failed asylum seekers within the next four years. This comes just one after Vienna MPs approved a bill toughening admission policies for migrants. I think 50,000 is realistic [in terms of a number to deport], Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz stated. But at the same time, it is clear that many of the refugees who have come to us will stay here. We therefore need to stop the influx. The federal government will reportedly offer up to $544 in return assistance to any migrants who leave voluntarily within three months after their applications are rejected. The country is also considering using military aircrafts to assist in deportations, Interior Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner said in a statement Vienna has also increased the countries they are deeming safe to send asylum seekers back to. Those areas now include Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Georgia, Mongolia and Ghana. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	Though Federal Microvehicular Safety Administration officials stress that it is still too early to draw definitive conclusions, a family dog is widely regarded as the probable cause of the miniature chuck-wagon disaster that shocked the nation last Wednesday. The wreckage from last week's fatal miniature chuck-wagon crash in a San Jose, CA, kitchen. Investigators have ruled out driver error and now believe the disaster to be dog-related. According to an FMSA report released Monday, the crashwhich resulted in the deaths of the chuck wagon's miniature driver and four passengers, as well as the loss of more than one pound of hearty 'Chuck Wagon'-brand gravy-flavored dog-food cargo and a team of four miniature draft horsesis 'in all likelihood' attributable to the presence of one or more pet dogs in the kitchen at the time of the accident. 'Preliminary studies of the chuck-wagon wreckage, combined with analysis of data recovered from the miniscule carriage's 'black box,' strongly suggest that, unknown to chuck-wagon traffic-controllers monitoring the wagon's progress, the kitchen was occupied by at least one pet animal, probably a dog, which pursued and overtook the chuck wagon in the final moments before it vanished from radar screens,' FMSA chief Vincent Renaldo said. In the 48 hours immediately following the disaster, safety investigators examined a wide variety of on-site evidence. The chuck wagon's original fuselage, scattered across an approximate four-tile area of linoleum in the 'breakfast nook' region of the kitchen, was painstakingly reassembled by FMSA investigators in an attempt to better understand the events leading up to the crash. The rebuilt chuck wagon's key structural elementsparticularly the glue-fastened wooden dowels used as tiny spokes in the load-bearing miniature wagon wheels; the itsy-bitsy swing-axle steering rack; and the teensy-weensy whip used to make the miniature horsies accelerate in times of dangerwere then subjected to a battery of stress tests in an effort to determine whether equipment failure or driver error was to blame. Scruffers While the tests are still not complete, FMSA officials say the discovery of a two-inch 'bite radius' breaching the chuck wagon's hull along the right side indicates severe canine mastication, strongly supporting the dog-attack hypothesis. 'The old saw about how 'The great taste of Chuck Wagon stops dogs in their tracks' has taken on grim new overtones in light of these findings,' Renaldo said. Though Chuck Wagon Transit Authority officials insist that proper safety procedures were followed during the chuck wagon's fateful final voyage, a number of dog-food-industry whistleblowers are coming forward in the wake of the crash, insisting that such a tragedy was inevitable given the CWTA's longtime failure to address serious driver-safety issues. 'This sort of thing happens all the time,' said former miniature-chuck-wagon driver Randall 'Tex' West, who claims he was fired by Chuck Wagon Transit after refusing to do any more kitchen runs until the dog problem was addressed. 'I can't tell you how many times a chuck wagon will tear through a kitchen, hell-bent for leather, hootin' and hollerin' to beat the devil, with a happy, hungry hound right on his tail, just inches behind.' Continued West: 'A lot of these drivers consider it kind of a 'macho' thing to see how close they can cut it before zipping under the kitchen counter into the dog-food bag at the last minute, leaving the puzzled mutt wondering where all them tasty treats disappeared to. Sure, it seems kind of funny at first, the way the dog looks around and blinks, like it can't figure out where that old chuck wagon up and went all of a sudden. But when something like this happens, it's a damn shame.' Two-inch-tall wagon-driver Roy 'Speedy' Sanders agreed, but noted that thrill-seeking drivers are not the only reason for the increased risk of accidents. According to Sanders, ever-increasing dog-food delivery quotas leave drivers with no choice but to speed. 'It's impossible to pull off the typical dog-food-delivery schedule and meet federal safety standards at the same time,' Sanders said. 'Every day, in kitchens across the U.S., drivers run their teams at full gallop through routes that traffic-control knows damn well are dog-occupied. But the traffic controllers look the other way, because, if they didn't, delivery quotas would never be met. Drivers whip their teams up to full speed and chance it, hoping either to outrun or out-maneuver the dog, figuring they can always pivot at the last minute and send the animal sliding across the linoleum if it gets too close. That way, management is happy, and they get to keep their jobs.' Though Chuck Wagon Transit authorities have cooperated with investigators, the group's official position remains that last Wednesday's crash was an isolated incident that is in no way symptomatic of a larger safety problem. FMSA investigators, however, are not so certain. 'The kitchen in question is a well-established nap-zone for a mid-sized mutt named Scruffers, and we have solid evidence demonstrating that the driver regularly made a practice of exceeding his wagon's per-axle cargo limit by as much as 20 to 30 bite-sized chunks,' FMSA special investigator Richard Sobell said. 'Dogs like Scruffers can't corner as well as chuck wagons on your basic no-wax kitchen-tile surfacing; their greater mass gives them more inertia, making it harder for them to turn, especially if they're running at a full sprint.' 'Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, your skilled miniature-wagon-handler can pull it off,' said Sobell, looking out over the crash site. 'But that hundredth time? That's the one these hot-shot drivers need to start seriously thinking about.' 
1	LINCOLN, NEControversy engulfed the fast-food industry Monday with the decision by Denny's to formally discipline Lincoln-area fry cook Raymond Ortiz for an alleged scheduling-policy violation. Embattled fry cook Raymond Ortiz. According to Denny's director of public relations Donald Bleiden, Ortiz committed his third major violation in less than 60 days when, on July 20, he failed to arrive on time for his scheduled shift at Denny's Store #794 at Highway 23 and Pflaum Road, showing up more than 27 minutes late after being personally telephoned by the assistant manager on duty. Company policy, Bleiden explained, 'dictates in no uncertain terms' that such a violation will result in a written warning, to be permanently included in Ortiz's personnel file, as well as 'punitive reductions in preferred-scheduling privileges over the course of the subsequent four weeks.' Ortiz will also have a demerit added to his six-month evaluation form. Though the embattled Ortiz has accepted the disciplinary action upon advice from counsel, he vehemently maintains his innocence. 'I was totally cleared of having to work that weekend,' Ortiz said. 'I totally switched with Gus a full week before, so I could have off to go to my friend Doug's barbecue at his dad's cabin. I even worked the extra shift I traded for already, but that fucker Gus just blew it off and took off to go rock-climbing or some shit without even telling his roommates where he'd be.' Said Ortiz attorney Blake Whitcomb: 'It is Gus who should face these charges, not my client.' Denny's officials insist that Ortiz's shift-trade was invalid, explaining that employees are not allowed to switch schedules without prior approval by a manager or assistant manager. The Ortiz camp claims the trade was approved by assistant manager Darryl Klembroke, who failed to enter it into the shift log and is, therefore, responsible for the shift change not being recorded on the official schedule. The situation was further complicated Tuesday when Klembroke, a key figure in the dispute, unexpectedly quit without notice. Allegedly telling the entire day crew to 'go fuck yourselves' and declaring that he hopes to 'never see the inside of another cocksucking Denny's again as long as I fucking live,' Klembroke is believed to have moved to Cleveland, where his sister lives. He left no forwarding address or phone number, and is unwilling to confirm or deny Ortiz's story. 'I had that shift covered, dammit,' said Ortiz with a defeated sigh. 'I reminded that bastard Klembroke to change it on the official schedule three fucking times, and he never fucking did it. Now, I get the blame.' Added Ortiz: 'This whole place is bullshit. I oughta just go back to Arby's where I was appreciated.' Despite the questions surrounding the disciplinary action, many are lauding the 'get-tough' stance adopted by Denny's, a chain some food-service-industry observers say has been 'soft on insubordination' for far too long. 'It's about time somebody in the Denny's corporate-leadership hierarchy did something to address this worsening problem,' said Frank Hobart, a longtime advocate of stiffer penalties for fast-food employees who violate company policy. 'The recent annals of fast food are a veritable Ledger Of Shame, rife with examples of unconscionable disregard for proper procedure. Sadly, the vast percentage of these incidents go unpunished by managers and assistant managers at the regional level who are, unfortunately, more concerned with 'not rocking the boat' than with maintaining proper kitchen-team discipline.' Decrying many crew chiefs' unwillingness to enforce even the most basic of regulations, Hobart added, 'Sadly, nowadays, even an adage as time-honored as, 'If there's time to lean, there's time to clean' has become just so much empty rhetoric.' Other, equally adamant voices disagree, however, saying that what is happening to Ortiz is nothing short of a miscarriage of justice. 'Sure, he can still try to get the disciplinary action removed from his file, but the Denny's appeal process is notoriously slow and inefficient,' said Thom Winningham, chairman of Citizens For Ortiz, a national legal-defense fund dedicated to aiding the fry cook. 'My heart goes out to the workers on America's fast-food front lines. Our boys in uniform face blistering heat, incompetent middle management and worse in their efforts to provide the rest of us with a fast, tasty, affordable meal. And, in most cases, they barely get minimum wage. In our society, it's always the ones who have never flipped a burger in their lives who are the first to complain that they could do it so much better. I say Ortiz's tragedy is our own.' 
1	Less than five months after graduating from Bayshore High School, 18-year-old Henry Doyle returned to his lowly alma mater Monday a wise and conquering college freshman. Henry Doyle freely roams the halls of Bayshore High&#8212;a privilege he would have needed a pass for just last spring. 'I'm back, Bayshore High,' Doyle announced as he pulled his mother's Toyota Camry slowly into the parking lot normally reserved for faculty, emerging with a knowing grin. 'Bet you never thought you'd see the likes of me again!' After pausing to behold any students who might have taken notice of his momentous arrival, Doyle determined that many were too intimidated to say hello or even look in his general direction, so he marched indoors. According to sources, the Nova Southeastern University freshman spent the next two hours striding like a Roman general through the halls of his former school, smiling at distracted teachers, nodding at confused members of the janitorial staff, and leaning back against the school's trophy case for nearly 25 minutes. 'Some of the kids who don't know who I am will probably just think I'm some hip, young teacher,' the returning hero said as he was repeatedly pushed aside by a crowd of students rushing to get to class. 'And I bet those who do know me will be shocked at how much taller and more mature I look. Some of them might even flip out.' 'For one thing, I didn't have this bad boy back then,' added Doyle, tracing his finger along a finely bearded jawline. The first of many stops made by Doyle during his exultant tour of Bayshore High was the school's main office, where in his younger days he had helped sort the faculty mail. After waiting several minutes for Ms. Karpman, the school secretary, to get off the phone, and being mistaken for another student by the name of 'Frank,' Doyle was warmly welcomed back by the receptionist, who was struck silent by his confidence and charm. 'Did you see her face?' Doyle asked reporters. 'She almost had a heart attack when I explained to her who I was.' Following a brief excursion to the cafeteria, where he lamented the meager options available to those 'still in high school,' and wondered how 'kids not yet in college' could eat so early in the day, the towering freshman reportedly decided to visit his favorite former teacher. Doyle said he eagerly anticipated seeing Mrs. Shelton, who had wished him luck in his yearbook and invited him to drop by if he was ever in the neighborhood. Striding up to her as she entered her third-period class, Doyle had just begun explaining the advantages of a college-caliber syllabus over a standard high school course outline when the bell rang. 'I thought she might ask me to sit in, but she just sort of waved goodbye and started class,' Doyle said. 'I knew I'd probably be way too distracting to those kids, so I decided to just hang out in the hall until she was done.' It was during this period of waiting, sources reported, that Doyle encountered seniors Greg Hollis and Vanessa Pope, both of whom were in his trigonometry class the previous year. 'They were pretty taken aback,' Doyle said. 'I bet they thought I'd be too stuck-up to visit this place or to talk to people like them. Probably the last thing they ever expected was for me to offer my e-mail so that we could hang out the next time I'm around.' Hollis and Pope confirmed that their former classmate had taken time from his glorious homecoming to offer them words of encouragement. 'It was a little weird,' Hollis said. 'We never really talked before. He said I probably remembered him without the beard, so I said yeah, that was it. I didn't even know he graduated. I thought he was our age.' With the guidance counselor he had hoped to visit away on vacation, and a couple of large 10th-graders giving him a hard time, Doyle said the moment had come for him to once again take his leave of Bayshore High. 'I'll head over to McDonald's, I think,' Doyle told reporters with a quick nod. 'Some of the guys I used to hang out with might be there. Plus, I don't think I can handle all this attention for much longer. Best to just leave everyone wanting more.'

Please Send Your Prayers Fox News host Megyn Kelly has been busy preparing to moderate the GOP debates this week, but it appears her attention maybe should have been elsewhere. According to reports from the Inquisitr, Kellys ratings have dropped significantly this week. Reports indicated that average viewers have dropped to 2.25 million from 2.5 million. While maintaining several million viewers this week is nothing to scoff at, the drop is still disconcertingespecially right before the debates. What do you think? Do you support Kelly? Is the drop in her ratings just a coincidence? 
2	Defense Secretary Goes Rogue, Leaks Precious Information About Obama [VIDEO] Recently Former Defense Secretaries Robert Gates, Leon Panetta, and Chuck Hagel criticized the Obama administrations operational micromanagement, and cautiousness and overcorrection, which makes it appear that the United States is hesitant to take action. They also highlighted the lack of understanding of the tremendous responsibility the United States has. The comments were made in interviews for the Rising Threats: Shrinking Military special that was broadcast on the Fox News Channel. It was the operational micromanagement that drove me nuts, Gates commented. Of, White House and NSC staffers calling senior commanders out in the field and asking them questions, of second-guessing commanders. Gates added that he told the combatant commandersIf you get calls from the White House staff, you get a call from the president, thats one thing. Thats totally okay. Thats the chain of command. But you get a call from one- some White House or National Security Council staffer, you tell them to call me instead, and then tell them, oh by the way, go to hell. And thats directly from the Secretary of Defense. Hagel also added that Obama is one of the most inexperienced presidents weve ever had and that he is surrounded by inexperienced advisors. Watch the full segment below and tell us what you think. 
2	Army Soldiers Brutally Attacked By BlackLivesMatter Thugs In Texas... No Media Outrage According to reports, two military vets were jumped last week by Black Lives Matter protesters. They are lucky to have survived. If any of yall believe in the Black Lives Matter Bulls**t you can visit me and my buddy in the hospitalwe got jumped for being prior military, Staff Sergeant Zach Coe Johnson posted on Facebook. The picture he posted along with the message was extremely disturbing. The U.S. Army National Guard staff claims he and one of his Army veteran friends were assaulted by BLM supporters in San Antonio, Texas. As I was getting my face stomped in and thrown through a window, they (all 4 of them) were yelling racial slurs saying how whites sucked and black lives were better, the second victim, Marc Stephen, said on Facebook. He went on to claim that San Antonio police were of little help. Ultimately, the two veterans had to Uber to the hospital. Johnson had to have 8 stitches in his face, and staples put in the back of his head. His nose and cheekbone were broken as well. Stephen reportedly had similar injuries and they are being treated at a VA hospital. Zach says he cannot remember any of the attack because I was knocked unconscious. He said his battle buddy was assaulted when he came out to check on him. Looks like BLM is going after Soldiers now, in San Antonio no less, Army Sergeant First Class Lupe Flores posted in support of the two men. SSG Johnson is one of the finest Soliders Ive had the privilege of working with. To my fellow Soldiers at home, stay vigilant and stick with your battle buddies when out and about. I hope you get better soon Zach Coe Johnson and they catch the a**h**** that did this. What do you think? Is this a new low for the Black Lives Matter protesters?

3	Syrian Rebel Eats Soldiers Heart: Paid For By The U.S. TaxpayerBrandon Turbeville The video can be seen here and it comes fresh on the heels of a pledge by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to provide $123 million in aid to the Syrian death squads and 40 million by the UK, all in the midst of a worldwide economic depression and the imposition of brutal austerity measures in both countries. However, while the footage is clearly shocking, it is only shocking in its savagery as an act in and of itself, not in the fact that Syrian rebels (aka death squads) are engaging in such brutal acts. Let us not forget that the death squads have been responsible for unspeakable atrocities against innocent people ever since the destabilization effort began. 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 childafter murdering his family in front of him. One can also view the videos of the death squad membersbeating and humiliating the famous elderly Yellow Man in Aleppo. As Tony Cartalucci of Land Destroyer Report has documented on numerous occasions, the plan to invade and destabilize Syria by using hordes of al-Qaeda terrorists and mercenaries has been in existence since at least 2007. Cartalucci writes, A 2007 New Yorker article written by renowned journalist Seymour Hersh revealed a plan under the Bush Administration to organize, arm, train, and deploy a regional army of terrorists, many with ties directly to Al Qaeda, in a bid to destabilize and overthrow both Syria and Iran. The plan consisted of US and Israeli backing, covertly funneled through Saudi proxies to conceal Washington and Tel Avivs role, in building the sectarian extremist front. According to Seymour Hershs 2007 article, The Redirection: Is the Administrations new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism?, Saudi Arabia, a more credible candidate for openly interfacing with the militants, openly admitted that it was a danger, but that they created it, and therefore could control it, in meetings with Washington.The plan called for not only setting up terrorist enclaves in nations neighboring Syria, including Lebanon, Jordan, and US-occupied Iraq, but also for building up the Muslim Brotherhood, both inside Syrias borders and beyond including in Egypt.[emphasis added] Nasr went on, The Saudis have considerable financial means, and have deep relations with the Muslim Brotherhood and the SalafisSunni extremists who view Shiites as apostates. The last time Iran was a threat, the Saudis were able to mobilize the worst kinds of Islamic radicals. Once you get them out of the box, you cant put them back. The Saudi royal family has been, by turns, both a sponsor and a target of Sunni extremists, who object to the corruption and decadence among the familys myriad princes. The princes are gambling that they will not be overthrown as long as they continue to support religious schools and charities linked to the extremists. The Administrations new strategy is heavily dependent on this bargain. Nasr compared the current situation to the period in which Al Qaeda first emerged. In the nineteen-eighties and the early nineties, the Saudi government offered to subsidize the covert American C.I.A. proxy war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. Hundreds of young Saudis were sent into the border areas of Pakistan, where they set up religious schools, training bases, and recruiting facilities. Then, as now, many of the operatives who were paid with Saudi money were Salafis. Among them, of course, were Osama bin Laden and his associates, who founded Al Qaeda, in 1988. This time, the U.S. government consultant told me, Bandar and other Saudis have assured the White House that they will keep a very close eye on the religious fundamentalists. Their message to us was Weve created this movement, and we can control it. Its not that we dont want the Salafis to throw bombs; its who they throw them atHezbollah, Moqtada al-Sadr, Iran, and at the Syrians, if they continue to work with Hezbollah and Iran. [emphasis added] Hersh continued by stating that the Israelis, the Saudis, and the Americans have developed a series of informal understandings about their new strategic direction. In addition to the security of Israel, the weakening of Hamas, and the countering of Shiite ascendance in the region, there was also a fourth goal of the three entities. Hersh wrote, Fourth, the Saudi government, with Washingtons approval, would provide funds and logistical aid to weaken the government of President Bashir Assad, of Syria. The Israelis believe that putting such pressure on the Assad government will make it more conciliatory and open to negotiations. Syria is a major conduit of arms to Hezbollah. The Saudi government is also at odds with the Syrians over the assassination of Rafik Hariri, the former Lebanese Prime Minister, in Beirut in 2005, for which it believes the Assad government was responsible. Hariri, a billionaire Sunni, was closely associated with the Saudi regime and with Prince Bandar. (A U.N. inquiry strongly suggested that the Syrians were involved, but offered no direct evidence; there are plans for another investigation, by an international tribunal.) Hersh also quoted Walid Jumblatt, leader of the Druze minority in Lebanon and adamant Assad opponent who stated to Hersh that he had actually traveled to Washington, D.C. to meet with then Vice President Dick Cheney regarding the possibility of weakening and destabilizing the Assad government in Syria. Hersh stated, 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. The Syrian Muslim Brotherhood, a branch of a radical Sunni movement founded in Egypt in 1928, engaged in more than a decade of violent opposition to the regime of Hafez Assad, Bashirs father. In 1982, the Brotherhood took control of the city of Hama; Assad bombarded the city for a week, killing between six thousand and twenty thousand people. Membership in the Brotherhood is punishable by death in Syria. The Brotherhood is also an avowed enemy of the U.S. and of Israel. Nevertheless, Jumblatt said, We told Cheney that the basic link between Iran and Lebanon is Syriaand to weaken Iran you need to open the door to effective Syrian opposition. There is evidence that the Administrations redirection strategy has already benefited the Brotherhood. The Syrian National Salvation Front is a coalition of opposition groups whose principal members are a faction led by Abdul Halim Khaddam, a former Syrian Vice-President who defected in 2005, and the Brotherhood. A former high-ranking C.I.A. officer told me, The Americans have provided both political and financial support. The Saudis are taking the lead with financial support, but there is American involvement. He said that Khaddam, who now lives in Paris, was getting money from Saudi Arabia, with the knowledge of the White House. (In 2005, a delegation of the Fronts members met with officials from the National Security Council, according to press reports.) A former White House official told me that the Saudis had provided members of the Front with travel documents. [emphasis added] Hersh also spoke with Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah leader, who told Hersh that he believed that the United States wished to cause the partitioning of both Lebanon and Syria. Hersh states that, In Syria, he [Nasrallah]said, the result would be to push the country into chaos and internal battles like in Iraq. The idea that Syria would be partitioned is an interesting concept to say the least since it echoes the typical geopolitical strategy of Micro States and Mini States espoused by Neo-Liberal members of the governing class such as Zbigniew Brzezinski. Yet, the ruling regime at the time of the writing of Hershs article and the interview conducted with Hassan Nasrallah was the Neo-Conservative regime of Bush/Cheney, a branch of the Anglo-American ruling class that typically expresses geopolitical strategy in the manifestation of hard power and ham-fisted warfare. The fact that the Brzezinski method of using puppet states, mercenaries, and religious fanatics against target states while leading from behind was being planned and orchestrated during a branch of the ruling elite that typically exhibits a different strategy is telling in that it shows both that the plan to partition Syria was developed long before the recent rebellion and that the plan crosses not only both political parties but also both factions of the ruling elite. In short, the existence of such a plan during the Bush/Cheney regime and the attempted implementation of the plan by the Obama regime shows that not only are political parties operated by the same (somewhat) hidden forces but even the hidden hand behind the hidden forces are themselves more centralized than what many informed political analysts would choose to believe. The Syrian partition issue is also interesting considering the fact that a potential false flag attack was discovered by German hackers involving the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian death squads to be blamed on the Assad government and accomplishing this goal. This attack would have then been followed by the entrance of ambulances emblazoned with the words Syrian Peoples Relief. Although the pretext would have been humanitarian aid, the ambulances would have been, in reality, nothing more than armored personnel carriers designed to create buffer zones in the border areas of Syria during the midst of a crisis and the panic that would have resulted. Yet Hershs information, which was published in 2007, was not the first mention of the Syrian destabilization being manufactured by Western powers. In 2005, for instance, writing about the possible options for defeating the then-powerful insurgency in Iraq, Michael Hirsh and John Barry of Newsweek wrote an article entitled, The Salvador Option: The Pentagon May Put Special -Forces-led assassination or kidnapping teams in Iraq,' where the writers acknowledged a plan by the Pentagon to install Special Forces hit teams or death squads made up of religious fanatics to engage in the policy of assassinations and outright terror. This strategy came to be known as The Salvador Option, after the methods used by the United States in El Salvador in the 1980s which resulted in the deaths of nearly 50,000 innocent civilians. With this in mind, Hirsh and Barry write tellingly of the plan to use such a strategy in Iraq and Syria. They state, [O]ne Pentagon proposal would send Special Forces teams to advise, support and possibly train Iraqi squads, most likely hand-picked Kurdish Peshmerga fighters and Shiite militiamen, to target Sunni insurgents and their sympathizers, even across the border into Syria, according to military insiders familiar with the discussions. It remains unclear, however, whether this would be a policy of assassination or so-called snatch operations, in which the targets are sent to secret facilities for interrogation. The current thinking is that while U.S. Special Forces would lead operations in, say, Syria, activities inside Iraq itself would be carried out by Iraqi paramilitaries. [emphasis added] It is interesting, then, that death squads would be invading and terrorizing the nation of Syria only six years later, attempting to accomplish some of the very goals set forward by the Anglo-Americans as indicated by the aforementioned reports. Yet, while the majority of the fighting (as well as the looting, beheading, torturing, and raping) is being undertaken by the death squads themselves, one also wonders just what hand actual intelligence agents have played in the foreign-backed destabilization. It is almost a certainty that the Western intelligence agencies that coordinated so much of the foreign insurgency would not leave the death squads, with their quality of intellect (or more accurately the lack thereof), alone to control the entirety of the operations themselves. The operation itself is much too important to be left in the hands of mere death squad operatives. It is for this reason that many have suspected for some time that the intelligence agencies and military special ops divisions have themselves been involved in the fighting; or, at the very least, the direct coordination inside Syria. Without a doubt, U.S. Ambassador Robert Ford has played a major role in the organizing of the Syrian death squads, alongside former CIA Director and U.S. General David Petraeus as I have documented in past articles such as Syria Under Attack By Globalist Death Squad Experts. In addition, serious questions have been raised regarding the role Norwegian General Robert Mood has played in the death squad organization. The question of direct intervention via actual intelligence agents as opposed to mere coordination, however, has been a murkier question. Yet, although harder to decipher in terms of hard evidence, such a suggestion is not entirely without evidence. After all, it was reported early on in the Syrian destabilization effort that 13 French military officers acting as mercenaries/death squad participants were captured by the Syrian government, all the while the mainstream Western media reported the events as peaceful protest and a grassroots level organic Syrian uprising against an oppressive regime. Around the same time, hacked emails obtained by Anonymous in December 2011 and released by WikiLeaks in steady drips ever since February 27, 2012, revealed that NATO troops, including those from the U.S., U.K, and France, were likely already operating inside Syria. The emails were obtained from the private U.S. intelligence firm, Stratfor, and were apparently sent by Stratfors Director of Analysis, Reva Bhalla (bhalla@stratfor.com) and contain discussion of a December confidential Pentagon meeting which was attended by senior analysts from the US Air Force, and representatives from its chief allies, France and the United Kingdom. Tellingly, the emails author stated that US officials said without saying that SOF [special operation forces] teams (presumably from the US, UK, France, Jordan and Turkey) are already on the ground, focused on recce [reconnaissance] missions and training opposition forces. Later in the email, it was stated that the idea hypothetically is to commit guerrilla attacks, assassination campaigns, try to break the back of the Alawite forces, elicit collapse from within. This should come as no surprise since Western troops and intelligence agents maintained a heavy presenceinside Libya during the destruction of that nation, increasing their presence as the destabilization and subsequent invasion succeeded. Regardless of the direct involvement of Western forces inside Syria, however, there is absolutely no doubt that the Syrian conflict is very much the result of Anglo-American treachery, control, and coordination. The entire invasion of secular Syria with religious fanatics, mercenaries, and maniacs was the brainchild of Western governments and Israel, the Mad Dog of the Middle East, along with the usual Gulf state feudal monarchies such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and others acting as proxies and puppets. Indeed, with the recent announcement of even more commitments to openly arm, aid, and assist the death squads, the idea that the Syrian destabilization was organized and is being controlled by Western governments is no longer up for debate. The only debate yet to be had is whether or not citizens of Western countries will continue to allow their governments to run roughshod over both their rights and the rights of sovereign people in foreign countries. Clearly, the continued assault on Syria is part of a major agenda that is slowly unfolding before our eyes. It would be wise for Americans and all other Western nations to get off of the Path to Persia before the mutual destruction of the world is the only thing left at the end of the road.

1	As he squinted and craned his neck in an effort to peer through the establishments front windows from the sidewalk across the street, local man Shane Peterson confided to reporters Friday that he was attempting to ascertain whether the cafe and bakery was actually closed without having to get too close. I think I can see a waitresses walking around, but they could just be cleaning before they lock up for the dayits hard to tell, said the man who was actively avoiding getting any closer than 40 feet from the eaterys entrance, while noting that though all of the lights remained on, he wasnt sure if they just left them on all the time, and adding that the last thing he wanted was to walk all the way to the front door just to pull on the handle and find it locked. Right now, its about 2:45, but I dont know if they normally stay open to 2 or 3 or what. I guess they could have closed early. Theres a sign on the door with the hours, but I cant see it from here. Maybe Ill just wait to see if someone goes in. At press time, a restaurant employee had apparently noticed Peterson, causing him to hastily avert his gaze and walk around the corner. 
3	Police State FAIL 72 DHS Employees on Terror Watch List, TSA Misses Almost EverythingBy John Vibes Congressman Stephen Lynch stated in his recent interview that he backed a recent bill to change the screening process for refugees because he and other representatives did not trust the Department Of Homeland Security to be in charge of the operation. According to Lynch, an Inspector Generals report conducted back in August showed that there were a large number of people on both the US terror watchlist and the DHS payroll. In the interview, Lynch said, Back in August, we did an investigationthe inspector General didof the Department of Homeland Security, and they had 72 individuals that were on the terrorist watch list that were actually working at the Department of Homeland Security. The director had to resign because of that. He also pointed out that they did a review of DHS screening in airports and found them to have a 95% failure rate. Then we went further and did an eight-airport investigation. We had staffers go into eight different airports to test the department of homeland security screening process at major airports. They had a 95 percent failure rate. We had folksthis was a testing exercise, so we had folks going in there with guns on their ankles, and other weapons on their persons, and there was a 95 percent failure rate. I have very low confidence based on empirical data that weve got on the Department of Homeland Security. I think we desperately need another set of eyeballs looking at the vetting process, he added. Later in the interview, Lynch suggested that the entire TSA screening process may be scrapped entirely. I think we have very low-paid TSA and DHS workers, I think theres a huge turnover there, when you talk to the people at the airport who are actually working there. When Bush created this system, I think it was 700,000 employees, he basically stripped away their right to join a union. Theyre trying to use low-wage employees there, I heard from a TSA employee last week who was leaving, and he said theres just no room for advancement there, theyre just stuck. I think morale is part of it, and the whole screening process is being revisited now after the inspector generals report, Lynch said. The fact that there are people working for the DHS who are on the terror watch-list is not necessarily as scary as it sounds, considering the fact that the list itself is a farce, withover a millions names of mostly innocent people, according to the ACLU. However, this does point to the gross incompetence of the agency, andhighlights the facade that is national security.

That act, which became Public Law 414, established both the law and the intent of Congress regarding the immigration of Aliens to the US and remains in effect today. Among the many issues it covers, one in particular, found in Chapter 2 Section 212, is the prohibition of entry to the US if the Alien belongs to an organization seeking to overthrow the government of the United States by force, violence, or other unconstitutional means. This, by its very definition, rules out Islamic immigration to the United States, but this law is being ignored by the White House.Islamic immigration to the US would be prohibited under this law because the Koran, Sharia Law and the Hadith all require complete submission to Islam, which is antithetical to the US government, the Constitution, and to the Republic. All Muslims who attest that the Koran is their lifes guiding principal subscribe to submission to Islam and its form of government. Now the political correct crowd would say that Islamists cannot be prohibited from entering the US because Islam is a religion. Whether it is a religion is immaterial because the law states that Aliens who are affiliated with any organization that advocates the overthrow of our government are prohibited 
1	Household sources confirmed that local football fan James Clemons became irate earlier this afternoon upon seeing a 15-yard penalty called on a hit that resulted in the ball carrier being carted off the field on a stretcher. Thats such bullshit! Clemons reportedly shouted at the television, as the huddled members of the training staff assessed the motionless and unresponsive player before immobilizing his neck and securing the rest of his body to the plank. Im fucking sick of these ticky-tack flags. Guys penalized for making a play. Its ridiculous. It completely changes the momentum of the fucking game. At press time, Clemons was reportedly screaming for the officials to throw a flag after a linebacker made light contact with the helmet of his quarterback.

'In Philadelphia, they'll tell you that if Harry Kalas said it, it must be true,' Kalas' distinctive voice can be heard saying over a montage of great Kalas moments, including his first day as a Phillies broadcaster and both Phillies World Series victories. 'His honeyed old-leather-and-bourbon baritone was spring and summer to generations of baseball fans. We'll miss his voice, but not as much as we'll miss the man. So, one last time, we say: Long drive...watch that baby...outta here. Home run, Harry Kalas.' The Phillies declined comment on the video itself, saying only that choosing Kalas to narrate the labor of love was a 'no-brainer' and that no other voice would do Kalas' legend justice. 
2	What The Cheesecake Factory Did To These Policemen Will Make You Want Boycott Them RIGHT NOW According to recent reports, The Cheesecake Factory at the Tacoma Washington Mall kicked 6 police officers out of their restaurant on Tuesday, after the general manager told the officers firearms were not allowed in the restauranteven for uniformed police officers. Miriam Nichols, one of the six disrespected officers, took to social media to share her story. I am local law enforcement and 5 co-workers and I were told to leave by the general manager, Will, of your Tacoma Mall location because 3 of us were wearing our badge, gun and were visibly identifiable as on-duty law enforcement. We were told the guns are not allowed whether you are law enforcement or not, they are not welcome, Nichols wrote on The Cheesecake Factorys page. Everyone in our party was extremely upset at the lack of support we received at this location. One of our group members informed her husband immediately contacted the establishment and was eventually routed to Will, who told him that corporate has a strict no gun policy and that no person carrying a firearm, to include on duty law enforcement, were not welcome to eat there. When we walked in, no one in our group saw any sign that said no firearms allowed. The Cheesecake Factory replied to Nichols Facebook post with the following: Miriam, our policy is to allow uniformed and identified law enforcement officials to possess their service weapons on our premises. To the extent that there was a miscommunication of our policy, we sincerely apologize. A general manager should be fully aware of all company policies including firearms on the premises. Its clear that Will used his authority on actual authority as a power move or a protest. Cheesecake Factory advertises to be a gun-free zone. 
2	Hillary Clinton Panicking After Damning Footage Surfaces... See It Before It Gets Deleted [VIDEO] A newly surfaced video from 1979 has put Hillary Clinton in hot water. The footage shows her whining that image and reality do not align for her. A lot of people have images that are in no way related to reality, she commented. Some people may think Im too conservative, too this or too that. I can only hope that whatever image that people might have of either me or Bill they will hold in abeyance until they have an opportunity to meet with us or talk with us. The interview was partially centered around the fact that Hillary had not yet taken her husbands last name, but instead was holding fast to Rodham. Hillary claimed that she made the choice because she did not want to mix professional activities with his political activities. One cannot live ones life based on what somebody elses image of you might be, she commented. I suppose that there have been many wives of politicians who may have had serious problems personally, because they were worried about the image that they had and as to whether or not that would hurt their husband. All one can do is live the life that God gave you, and just do the best you can. If somebody likes you or doesnt like you, thats in many ways something that you have no control over. Watch the full interview below and tell us what you think? 
1	With the harsh economic climate making it harder than ever to juggle the costs of two households, a report released Friday by the National Center for Health Statistics has found that more Americans are waiting until later in life to start a secret second family. According to our data, married men with kids are increasingly likely to put off taking on a mistress in another state, setting her up in a place, and fathering additional children with her, at least until they become more established in their careers, said NCHS director Charles J. Rothwell, noting that wage stagnation has made it more difficult for workers to command a salary sufficient to cover the mortgage on a second suburban home and fund two separate trips to Disney World each year. Its not uncommon these days for men to wait until theyre well into middle age before they start to live a secret double life. When youre supporting six children spread across a thousand miles, you spend a lot of money just shuttling back and forth between both families under the pretense of business travel, let alone paying for double the Christmases and birthdays. The study also found that, due to economic pressures, an increasing number of married men are electing not to start a secret second family at all, opting instead to lead a quieter life of routine adultery. 
2	BREAKING: Obama Admin Makes Terrifying Announcement, This Is Their Worst Move Yet Vice President Joe Biden surprised the country this week when he announced that the White House expects Guantanamo Bay to be closed by the time Barack Obama leaves office in mid-January. The decision to close the facility has been met with disapproval of many security experts. That is my hope and expectation, Biden told a news conference in Sweden. The White House has been trying to close the facility for years now, but Congress has managed to stall the process. Bidens announcement comes just weeks after Obama made headlines for releasing 15 prisoners from the facility and sending them to the United Arab Emirates. The transfer marked the largest single release of detainees, and was criticized by GOP lawmakers for being reckless. The Pentagon confirms there are 61 detainees still in Guantanamo at this time. The unclassified report I secured from the Department of Defense demonstrates that these detainees just released are among the worst terrorists who could jeopardize our national security and the lives of our troops, Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire said in a statement. It is reckless for the administration to continue to release terrorists like these to fulfill a misguided campaign promise to empty and close Guantanamo. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has also expressed his support for keeping Guantanamo Bay open, arguing that this country needs a very safe place to keep terrorists. What do you think of Bidens announcement? 
1	Citing exhaustive use of the word breaking to preface media coverage of todays ongoing manhunt for one of the alleged Boston Marathon bombers, The selfnews is now questioning whether the word breaking has lost all its meaning. According to sources, the word breaking has been used over 4,000 times across a variety of media platforms in the past 24 hours and has been repeatedly used to categorize news items related to the Boston Marathon bomber suspect that are not, in fact, substantively different from earlier reports, and thus not truly breaking by any traditional definition of that term. Acknowledging that 700 separate breaking news bulletins have been published since the beginning of this breaking news article, The selfnews continues to wonder whether this word can ever be taken seriously again.

While they were under arrest Carpenter heard his dog get shot and watched it die as he was in handcuffs. The officer said the dog attacked him, but at least one eyewitness from the city paper said that never happened and that the officer was seen playing with the dog before shooting it for no reason. Before the shooting, Thierbach had asked if the dog would bite. He was told no and that the dog was friendly, but he shot Arzy a few seconds later. They are raising funds to fight the injustice and have, like many hundreds of others traumatized this way, have set up a justice page for Arzy. A petition to dismiss Brian Thierbach has amassed thousands of signatures. But the story doesnt end there. The officer soon began claiming that supporters of justice for Arzy were issuing death threats to him. The claim of the officer is, of course, unsubstantiated. Given the track record of the Sulphur, LA police department, however, one is not tempted to give him the benefit of the doubt. A common theme I see when this happens, based on Facebook justice pages Ive subscribed to, are reports of the officer claiming that supporters of the dog owner called in death threats. In the age of traceable and recorded phone lines, how likely is that? Without apology, here are a few more reasons I question the death threat claims: We do not condone violence or threats of violence, but heres why I have no sympathy if that actually took placeThis is the real question we need to ask. If people are supposedly making threats on the officers life, why is this not a reason for he and the department to pause and reflect on his unacceptable actions and change? It never is. Instead, they make themselves out to be the victim. Like the cop who casually pepper-sprayed handcuffed Occupy demonstrators and then won a sizable settlement in court for emotional distress to him. Or one of the cops who killed Kelly Thomas and then uploaded a sympathy picture of his boo-boo after using those limbs to beat Thomas to death both cops found not guilty. They might get a promotion for irrecoverably injuring the innocent. In addition to that absurdity, some officers are only removed from their position for their own safety. Sometimes they move to a different department to kill again. If you think this is a lack of training issue, please consider the new trend sweeping departments in California using live injured animals for target practice! I have not read about even one officer apologizing for taking a life they and in most cases, their supervisors truly believe that no wrong has taken place. They even act baffled or emotionally devoid at the owners reaction to watching their companion die. He might as in this case and in others actgratified.

1	Touting itself as 'the only channel with a terror-alert system designed to meet the specific needs of central Tennessee,' Fox News affiliate WMFB-TV Channel 11 debuted its terror-alert van Monday. The WMFB TerrorFirst! van. 'The team you trust to keep you informed is working to keep the greater Murfreesboro areaand your familysafe from Muslim extremists,' said station manager Carl Bogert, unveiling the TerrorFirst! van at a press conference held in the 'Terrorist No Zone' in the back parking lot. 'When terrorism threatens the people of central Tennessee, Fox 11 is there first. Watch Channel 11 for up-to-the-minute coverage of where, when, and how the enemies of freedom are coming to get you.' Painted red, white, and blue, the TerrorFirst! van is the first mobile unit devoted to monitoring terrorist threats on a local level. The van is equipped with live satellite feeds to and from the Fox News channel, a fax machine prepared to receive alerts from the Department of Homeland Security in Washington, an English-Arabic phrase book for translating any intercepted al-Qaeda correspondence, and a field-issue anthrax-detection kit. 'In a minute's notice, the van can be completely prepped, on the road, and speeding toward any site of terrorist activity within the WMFB broadcast area,' Bogert said. 'Assuming two attacks don't happen concurrently, of course.' According to Bogert, the TerrorFirst! van features a rooftop satellite dish, a diesel-powered generator in case terrorists take down the Tennessee power grid, emergency snow chains for use in the event of a nuclear winter, a supply of promotional 'Fox 11 News...Looking Out For You' T-shirts and bumper stickers, and a gun rack. The van is outfitted with several state-of-the-art monitoring systems, as well. 'TerrorDoppler can detect a dirty-bomb detonation of any significant magnitude from up to 40 miles away,' Bogert said. 'The van can transmit a map of contaminated areas to the station for broadcast. That way, Fox 11 viewers gain valuable minutestime which could be used to plan escape routes, call loved ones, and gather survival supplies.' The TerrorFirst! van patrols the streets. A Fox 11 News promotional spot features footage of the van driving down Murfreesboro thoroughfares while flashing its trademark Terror Alert Warning Light, which informs Murfreesboro citizens of the current Homeland Security Advisory System terror-threat level. The images of the van are juxtaposed with grainy, black-and-white footage of a terroristactually WMFB production assistant Fred Fromme clad in a towel and bathrobelingering in doorways and back alleys. The commercial ends with a message from Fox 11 anchor Bob Herlihy: 'When terror strikes, don't get left behind. Stay ahead of the game with Fox 11.' Although the only criminal activity the van has uncovered thus far was the illegal dumping of several quarts of used motor oil into the sewer, response from Fox 11 viewers has been overwhelmingly positive. 'When it comes to keeping me and my loved ones safe, Fox 11 is 'on the case!'' said Murfreesboro resident Ed Nelson, expressing his enthusiasm about the new van to a Channel 11 camera crew. 'Seeing the Fox News terror-alert van parked in front of the credit union or driving through the Piggly Wiggly parking lot makes me feel secure.' Nelson, who will appear in an upcoming local Channel 11 advertisement, waved his index finger and added: 'Fox 11 News is number one in central Tennessee!' Bogert ended the conference with some tough words for terrorists. 'Terrorists better think twice before targeting the good citizens of the greater Murfreesboro area,' Bogert said. 'Terrorists, if you're watching, I have one thing to say to you: If you attack, the Fox 11 News team will be on the scene just minutes later.' Though Channel 11 currently has the only anti-terrorism news van in the country, plans are underway to use the concept at Fox affiliates nationwide. 
1	Concerned moviegoing citizens across the nation issued an urgent appeal to Hollywood studios this week to make more films in which a guy is shot multiple times in the chest and then, later on, is revealed to have been wearing a bulletproof vest the whole time. There need to be a lot more movies where the main guy gets shot a bunch and we think hes dead, but after a little while he gets back up because hes actually still alive, said Little Rock, AR resident Sarah Greene, echoing the sentiments of millions of Americans as she further stipulated that the individual must at some point rip open his shirt to show the audience the vest and the flattened bullets embedded within it. And the movies better show somebody holding the guys head in their lap and crying because they think hes been killed. Or they should have a part where, after the guys been shot, he lifts his gun up out of nowhere and shoots the guy who shot himright before that guy is about to shoot someone else. The nations movie viewers also demanded more ending scenes in which the action subsides for a moment before a good guy shoots a bad guy we thought was already dead even though he really wasnt. 
1	For the third time in as many weeks, South Natick's local raccoon population took the blame Monday for the actions of 37-year-old sales manager Louis O'Halloran. 'Goddamn raccoons,' said neighbor Jim Tunney, 50, as he cleaned up the debris scattered across his yard the morning after O'Halloran accidentally sideswiped his garbage bins while trying to change radio stations in the car. 'I had to buy these plastic cans because they wrecked my good aluminum ones last month. This is really starting to get out of hand.' The upending of Tunney's trash receptacles is only the most recent example of raccoons being held responsible for property damage actually caused by O'Halloran. This month alone the nocturnal creatures have been faulted for a hole O'Halloran's wife discovered in the wall of their garagethe result of a clumsily handled cinder blockand next-door neighbor Thomas Fallon's felled downspout, which was in fact brought down by O'Halloran's basketball after a poorly aimed jumpshot. These incidents do not include the toppling of 64-year-old Linda Dagan's birdfeeder, which varying reports have blamed on red squirrels and teenagers. 'Those raccoons are smart little buggers, I'll give them that,' said Pete Ulster, 46, whose home O'Halloran house-sat last August while Ulster was on vacation. 'I still can't figure out how they got into my shed and knocked over all those paint cans. It took me a whole weekend just to clean it up.' 'And they sure did a number on my flower pots,' added Ulster, referring to the mess O'Halloran made as he fled in panic from the shed. 'If I ever get my hands on those critters, I'll choke the life out of them.' Since adolescence, the lumbering and ungainly O'Halloran has been an unacknowledged source of calamity wherever he has lived, his awkward gaffes resulting in an unknown number of false accusations made against pets, the weather, and God. Although he continues to wreak havoc, the 37-year-old remains free from suspicion, and has done little to assuage the anger those on his block feel toward the local raccoon population. He has only come close to defending the innocent mammals once, when a neighbor mentioned last month that she believed raccoons had destroyed her flower garden, and O'Halloran nervously replied, 'Or dogs. Could've been dogs.' Though raccoons often become a nuisance in places where their habitat intersects with that of humans, Kate Yewell of the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife said the amount of destruction attributed to the species in O'Halloran's neighborhood was not realistic. 'The wild animal population in the area is relatively sparse, and if anything, the few raccoons there are beneficial to the local ecosystem,' Yewell said. 'Also, raccoons have rarely been known to knock down power lines with a poorly maneuvered backhoe, thereby causing a blackout that lasts for days.' Still, area residents continue to pin such catastrophes on the small mammals, with some even attempting to kill the suspected offenders. 'Good luck trying to catch those crafty bastards,' said Orin Ditmus, whose prized cherry trees have been ravaged by O'Halloran for the past two summers. 'I started putting traps out last June, but the only thing I ever caught was poor Louis [O'Halloran] from down the block.' 
3	Does your Bottled Water Contain Nicotine? How about Pharmaceuticals?Case Adams Research published last year determined that commercial bottled water in Spain had over 50 pharmaceutically-active chemicals in it, as well as the highly addictive drug nicotine. Is your (or your childrens) bottled water polluted with addictive chemicals? It looks like it very well may be. And were not talking about nicotine-supplemented water meant to help wean smokers off of nicotine. Were talking the kind of bottled water people drink to avoid the pollutants found in municipal drinking water supplies. Researchers from the School of Public Health, Immunology and Medical Microbiology of Spains Rey Juan Carlos University analyzed ten brand of commercially available bottled waters. The researchers were surprised to learn that the bottled water contained 58 active pharmaceuticals, and five of the ten brands contained significant amounts of nicotine. The nicotine content of these five brands ranged from 7 nanograms per liter to 15 ng/L. The researchers admitted that these levels were low. However, they added: Despite the low nicotine concentration measured, the presence of this compound in bottled water still raises concern. Health risk assessment researchers have postulated that the risk to adult healthy humans from oral intake of nicotine at low levels is negligible. However, no studies have been conducted to assess the human health risk of vulnerable populations such as pregnant women and newborns. This population is the target of advertising on the purity and quality characteristics of bottled mineral water. In the UK for example, the British Geological Survey analyzed and tested ground water and drinking water supplies and also found nicotine along with caffeine and a variety of pharmaceuticals such as carbamazepine and triclosan. And many bottled waters are merely municipal tap water, sometimes run through a filtration unit. However, these filtration systems are typically designed to remove macro-pollutants such as lead and arsenic, but they may not filter out micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals and nicotine. Learn about water filtration, hydration, pollution and therapeutic uses for water. Studies finding pharmaceuticals in drinking water began to be published in the last decade. These were no fluke, however. And newer studies are confirming a growing problem among the worlds drinking water supplies. For example, this year research from the Czech Republics Department of Water Hygiene at the National Institute of Public Health collected samples from 92 drinking water supplies, feeding half of Czech population. They found the highest levels of pharmaceuticals to be ibuprofen, carbamazepine, naproxen, and diclofenac. These concentrations ranged from 0.5 to 20.7 nanograms per liter. Another recent study from Serbias University of Novi Sad Medical School found trace levels of several antibiotics among their drinking water supplies. Most municipal water treatment facilities do not filter out pharmaceuticals or other microtoxin metabolites from pesticides and other chemicals. New oxidation-driven systems are being tested, but these are not online in most municipalities. Micro-filtration units are also a possibility. A study last year from Germanys Free University Berlin found that the psychoactive drugs primidone and phenobarbital were found in drinking water supplies. Oxazepam and others were found in wastewater streams likely soon to be in the drinking water supplies. Another study from Spain this from the Pharmacy Department of the University of Valencia found numerous pharmaceuticals among the regions ground water and drinking water supplies. They found 94% of the sediment and 80% of farming soils were polluted with carbamazepine, acetaminophen and others. They also found much of the drinking water supplies, pharmaceuticals were present at levels as high as 112 nanograms per liter. Soils contained lower concentrations, 15 nanograms per liter. The researchers also pointed out high levels of fluoroquinolones and ibuprofen are threatening fish and otherwise contaminating the environment. Meanwhile, last fall Polish researchers found the presence of beta-blockers and beta-agonists among their waterways. And researchers from Australias University of Queensland studied waterways and water supplies close by hospitals. They found 57 different pharmaceuticals among these waterways, including many antibiotics which entered into the system from hospitals and residential areas alike. Researchers from the Netherlands found 12 pharmaceuticals in the drinking water supplies, as well as seven transformation products (metabolites that form other toxins). Swedish researchers tested four waterways in the Montreal, Canada region between 2007 and 2009. They found significant levels of caffeine and a number of pharmaceuticals drugs including carbamazepine, naproxen, gemfibrozil, and trimethoprim. They also found progesterone, estrone, and estradiol, along with the herbicide triazine with atrazine, deethylatrazine, deisopropylatrazine, simazine, and cyanazine. Researchers from the U.S. Geological Surveys California Water Science Center analyzed ground water supplies that feed numerous drinking water systems throughout California. They found pharmaceuticals affecting two to three percent of the 1231 ground water systems tested. However, in this study only 14 pharmaceutical compounds were tested for, out of hundreds possible. And out of these 14 tested, seven were found in concentrations that were equal or greater to detection limits. These seven included acetaminophen, caffeine, carbamazepine, the highly addictive codeine, the caffeine metabolite p-xanthine, and the antibiotics sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. The samples also contained various pesticides, VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and others. The research found that ground water supplies in the Los Angeles area were much more likely to contain pharmaceuticals, and contain higher levels of them. It should be noted that several brands of commercial bottled waters (and many other foods and beverages containing water) are packaged in the Los Angeles area.

1	Scientists at Hallmark Cards' Center for the Research and Development of Sentiments announced Monday that they had discovered three previously unknown emotions that can be experienced by human beings and captured on a folded piece of card stock. <p><b>Exploring The Human Psyche</b></p><p>Dr. Susan McMurrough has spent years analyzing the deep, unexamined feelings of thousands of test subjects in order to discover new, marketable emotions.</p> 'These new Hallmark-brand feelings will fill a void that has too long persisted in the consumable pleasantries market,' said Hallmark president and CEO Don Hall, Jr., speaking to reporters in front of a watercolor backdrop of tulips beside a pond. 'They will add a whole new level of complexity and nuance to the way we humans relate to one another, and will fill in any gaps left by our 'Thinking of You' and 'Just Because' categories.' The first emotion the project successfully isolated was 'requiapathy,' the combination of relief and guilt that comes with the sudden realization that you no longer miss a dead loved one. That discovery quickly led to the uncovering of 'seprudity,' the feeling of appreciating a coworker's dedication without fully understanding his or her job function, and 'trepatiousness,' a synthesis of rage and jealousy, though more muted and often accompanied by a sensation of weighlessness. '[Trepatiousness] appears to be a very rare emotion, almost exclusively experienced while in a dream state,' said principal investigator Dr. Susan McMurrough, a leader in the field of keepsake science best known for her work on the revolutionary 'Blank Inside' line of cards. 'The only way to activate it during waking hours, in fact, is with a combination of reds, oranges, and drowsy beagles in top hats.' The three emotions represent the latest discovery in the center's ongoing Emotions Mapping Project, a $42.4 million effort to identify and codify all of the mental and physiological states generated within the human psyche that are not currently covered by Hallmark's extensive line of greeting cards and collectible ornaments. A prototype of one of the new cards, which will be available at Hallmark stores in time for Father's Day. In 2002, McMurrough monitored the MRI activity of nearly 10,000 test subjects between the ages of 25 and 40 as they described all emotions they had experienced in the past six months and rated each for its intensity, duration, and whether it would be conveyable to others by mail. To identify targets of further study, McMurrough's team referenced that data against a matrix of all possible combinations of the neurotransmitters that catalyze human emotion. 'Until now, millions of people worldwide were forced to express their sincere and heartfelt requiapathy, seprudity, and trepatiousness with clumsy words and gestures,' Hall said. 'Our colorful and succinct messages will spare them countless hours of inconvenience and potential misunderstandings.' After a second group of Hallmark scientists successfully replicated the initial study's results, the sentiments were immediately submitted to the U.S. Patent Office and rushed to Hallmark headquarters, where writers, illustrators, and graphic designers interpreted the new emotions in warm, concise verse; inoffensive, ingratiating humor; and reassuring pastel watercolors. 'This research is not only groundbreakingit's inspirational,' said Mallory Jefson, a writer for Hallmark's Best Wishes department, who added that the emotions have led them to creative heights not reached since Secretaries Day became Administrative Professionals Day in 2000. In a single day of brainstorming, Jefson and her colleagues developed 15 seprudity-based card concepts that incorporated cats in sunglasses, and 22 new coffee mugs featuring the tart-tongued, post-menopausal character Maxine expressing requiapathy. The Hallmark laboratories have been at the forefront of the greeting card sciences since the '40s. Their work has led to the creation of eight federally recognized holidays, the specification of a time frame in which someone ought to get well, and over a dozen flower and cursive-font combinations that, sales figures show, have effectively conveyed the complex emotional and psychological states of an estimated 185 million Americans. 
2	BREAKING: Congress Moves To Impeach Obama After THIS... His Career Is Over It is no secret that President Barack Obama bending and breaking the law in order to fuel his own agenda. Now, Americans everywhere are sick of his willingness to violate the Constitution in order to act unilaterally. Now, Republican Representative Ted Yoho of Florida is taking a major stand against Obama, introducing a bill that defines what would constitute a high crime and misdemeanor by the president that could lead to his or her impeachment. Among others, Yohos bill lists a variety of impeachable offenses ranging from issuing executive orders that infringe upon the powers of Congress to misusing federal agencies to advance a partisan political agenda. What do you think? Should Obama already be facing impeachment? Do you support Yohos bill?

2	BREAKING: Rick Perry Uniting Americans For Rebellion Against Obama Given all the recent controversy that President Obama has been at or near the center of, it is no surprise that Americans have started to question his judgment as leader of our country. Doubt also stems from his apparent unwillingness to represent the majority of Americans, especially when it comes to issues like the immigration crisis and deportation. Or, for instance, when the vast majority of American citizens support voter identification laws, but the attorney general sues to overturn them. Now, Rick Perry is claiming that he has the answer. Jefferson was right when he said a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, the Perry said recently to a conservative audience. He went on to call for action, a war of sorts that will be fought on the battlefield of ideas. According to Perry, the precedent that was set by the American Revolution still stands, giving us the right to fight against a power-hungry oppressive ruler. What do you think? Is it time for Americans to get a little rebellious, as Perry claims?

1	Saying that the 10-year-old was so freaking lucky, sources in Mrs. Burnetts homeroom class confirmed Monday that local 5th-grader Adam Samuels got a PlayStation 4 for Christmas and Star Wars Battlefront, too. Oh man, Adams parents totally got him a PS4, Battlefront, and two controllers, said fellow student Spencer Grant, who told reporters that Samuels had already fought a huge battle on Hoth against a bunch of people from different countries and stuff. He has to share it with his little brother though. Plus, his mom only lets him play for a couple hours a day. His grandpa is gonna buy him Batman: Arkham Knight if he gets all As and Bs on his report card. At press time, several classroom sources disputed Samuels claim that he blew up an AT-AT with a single shot from a bowcaster. 
1	Shock and disbelief were the prevailing reactions Monday, when pizza-delivery guy Lyle Kelso, 24, reported to roommates that at around 2 or 3 a.m., he personally witnessed, like, five or six dudes suddenly jump out of freakin' nowhere and just start totally whaling on this one guy. Lyle Kelso points out the site of Monday's seriously freaky dude-whaling. 'That is majorly messed-up,' roommate 'Thatches' Moynihan said. 'You hear about that sort of shit on the news, but you never think it's going to happen right in front of somebody you know who'll later come home and totally tell you all about it. When Lyle told us, I was like, 'Whoa, dude. That's harsh.' We all were. It sounded like some seriously wigged-out shit, from what Lyle was saying.' According to Moynihan, he and three other roommates were sitting around, just kicking back and watching TV, when Kelso burst into the room and breathlessly announced that 'you guys are not gonna fucking believe what the fuck I just saw by the Dumpsters behind Papa Luigi's [Pizza].' After a dramatic pause, the visibly agitated Kelso said, 'I just saw some poor fucker completely get his ass beat down by a bunch of seriously pissed-off dudes,' prompting responses ranging from 'No way, man!' to 'Holy shit, dude!' According to this one guy who heard the story from a buddy of one of the roommates at a house party the next night, the scene supposedly went down something like this: Toward the end of his shift, Kelso sneaked out to the alleyway between Papa Luigi's and Fat Pete's Subs to fire up a big ol' jay. While smoking up, Kelso heard the sound of squealing tires from the parking lot behind Papa Luigi's. Fearing that it was the cops about to bust his ass, he peered around the corner to check out what the fuck was up. Kelso said he saw a black van, identified only by an airbrushed painting of a barbarian chick on the side and an enormous 'Ozzy' sticker in the back window, suddenly pull up from out of nowhere, right next to some dude who was about to get in his car. Without warning, the guy who heard the story from a buddy of one of the roommates said, five or six huge-ass motherfuckers who totally looked like bodybuilders or something jumped out of the van, cornered the unidentified victim, and basically just commenced to whaling on his ass. Kelso describes the whaling. 'I would've tried to help, but there was no way I was messing with those fuckers. Uh-uh, no sir,' Kelso reportedly told roommates. 'I may have been baked, but I ain't stupid.' After several minutes of some seriously painful ass-kicking, the big, mean-looking dudes reportedly hopped back inside the van and bolted as suddenly as they'd appeared. Before Kelso could approach the poor fucker who'd gotten whaled on, the dude limped to his car and bolted, leaving the stunned Kelso standing there wondering what the holy hell had just fucking happened and 'feeling like [his] mind was totally friggin' blown.' Though the identity of the whaled-upon dude remains unknown, numerous theories exist regarding who the fuck he was. Among the theories are that he was Some Poor Sap Who Never Knew What Hit Him, A Guy Who Just Happened To Be In The Wrong Place At The Way-Wrong Freaking Time, or Somebody Who Obviously Must Have Fucked With The Wrong People. Supporters of each theory, however, agree that, whoever the hell the guy was, he probably ain't exactly having the best day right about now, wherever the hell he is. The attack has raised serious safety and crime-prevention concerns among the roommates. 'After that shit Lyle told us he saw, I ain't goin' anywhere without a baseball bat in the car, I'm telling you that right the fuck now,' said Matt Mendham, 22. 'It's like, do I want to get my ass pounded by a bunch of monster dudes? No, I don't think so.' Added Mendham: 'It's too bad my friend Chad's brother wasn't there, because he totally knows t'ai chi and shit.' Despite the strong reaction to the guy-whaling incident among Kelso roommates and associates, some are questioning the validity of his claims. 'Kelso's always making shit up,' said Dan Soderlund, a longtime coworker of Kelso's at Papa Luigi's. 'He smokes a few bowls, and the next thing you know, it's, 'Dude! The freakiest thing just happened!' It's like, 'Yeah, yeah, keep talking, Lyle.' That guy is so full of it sometimes. Believe me, I've heard it all before, man.' 
3	Study Reveals Concerns About Future Global Crop Yield Projectionsselfnews Post Yields of these crops have recently decreased or plateaued. Future projections that would ensure global food security are typically based on a constant increase in yield, a trend that this research now suggests may not be possible. Estimates of future global food production and its ability to meet the dietary needs of a population expected to grow from 7 billion to 9 billion by 2050 have been based largely on projections of historical trends. Past trends have, however, been dominated by the rapid adoption of new technologies some of which were one-time innovations which allowed for an increase in crop production. As a result, projections of future yields have been optimistic perhaps too much so, indicates the findings of UNL scientists Kenneth Cassman and Patricio Grassini, of the agronomy and horticulture department, and Kent Eskridge of the statistics department. The Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources scientists calculate that this decrease or stagnation in yield gain affects 33 percent of major rice-producing countries and 27 percent of major wheat-producing countries. In China, for example, the increase in crop yields in wheat has remained constant, and rate of corn yield increase has decreased by 64 percent for the period 2010-2011 relative to the years 2002-2003 despite a large increase in investment in agricultural research and development, education and infrastructure for both crops. This suggests that return on these investments is steadily declining in terms of impact on raising crop yields. The authors report that sustaining further yield gain likely would require fine tuning of many different factors in the production of crops. But this is often difficult to achieve in farmers fields and the associated marginal costs, labour requirements, risks and environmental impacts may outweigh the benefits.

3	Declassified 9/11 Report Portrays US-Saudis as Partners in CrimeBy Tony Cartalucci While the US would go on to invade Afghanistan and Iraq predicated on the 9/11 attacks, it should be noted that all of the alleged hijackers were either Saudis or Persian Gulf citizens, or connected to terrorist organizations supported by Persian Gulf states. The Western media has attempted to downplay the impact of the documents release, claiming that subsequent investigations found the many of the allegations in the document without basis even as the US and Saudi Arabia today openly arm and fund terrorists in Syria. Many mistakenly believe on one hand terrorism is simply an inevitable clash of civilizations between Islam and the West, while others maintain it is the predictable backlash to flawed or unjust Western foreign policy. In reality, it is neither. It is meticulously engineered violence used as a tool for achieving geopolitical objectives around the world from overthrowing governments and justifying military interventions, to creating paralyzing fear and hysteria at home to garner support for a growing domestic police state and a large military footprint overseas. In essence, it is a highly conductive medium through which modern-day empire can spread. This can clearly be seen through the use of terrorism today. Some 14 years after the September 11, 2001 attacks, and as memories begin to fade, the US finds itself partnered with Saudi Arabia once again, arming and funding terrorists to fight their proxy wars in Libya, Syria, Iraq, and beyond, just as they did in the 1980s when they jointly created Al Qaeda to begin with. As the pendulum of geopolitical necessity swings from needing heavily armed, fanatical proxy forces to fight abroad, to needing a pretext at home to initiate large-scale military interventions overseas, these terrorist organizations are characterized by Western politicians and the media in a similarly shifting manner. During the 1980s Al Qaeda was portrayed as freedom fighters. In 2001 when the United States sought to use full-scale military force to rearrange the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia, Al Qaeda was transformed into a villain. The 2001 terrorist attacks allowed the US to justify over a decade of globe-spanning war that it otherwise would have been unable to wage. The 28 pages now declassified depicts a tangled web of connections between the Saudi government, Saudi intelligence agencies, the Bin Laden family, and the hijackers most of whom were Saudi citizens themselves. The report states: While in the United States, some of the September 11 hijackers were in contact with, and received support or assistance from, individuals who may be connected to the Saudi Government. There is information, primarily from FBI sources, that at least two of those individuals were alleged by some to be Saudi intelligence officers. The report also reveals that the suspected Saudi intelligence officers worked for companies that had ties to both the Saudi government, and Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden (spelled: Usama Bin Ladin throughout the report). And not only did various Saudi intelligence officers have connections to the alleged hijackers, several are revealed to have known each other as well. Mentioned also is Osama Bin Ladens half-brother, Abdullah Bin Ladin, claimed to have worked for the Saudi Embassy in Washington D.C. as an administration officer, revealing once again the incestuous ties between the Bin Ladin family, the Saudi government, and through equity firm the Carlyle Group the Bush family and other political and business leaders in the United States. The report also mentions that despite the many apparent links, and attempts by the FBI to investigate them further, many suspects were inexplicably able to leave the United States and return to Saudi Arabia. The report also referred to mosques either directly funded by the Saudi government in which various aspects of terrorism were thought to be coordinated, or mosques in which associates of the hijackers met frequently or operated out of. This illustrates precisely how the US-Saudi terror enterprise keeps its ranks full through a global network of centers masquerading as mosques, protected by law enforcement and intelligence organizations linked to the West, allowing for both the recruitment and radicalization of terrorists, as well as the planning and financing of terrorism itself. The US and Saudi Arabia helped create Al Qaeda and for years used the organization to wage proxy war around the world. Its actions on 9/11 then helped set the stage for a decade of war in which the US toppled governments, occupied nations, while conducting covert warfare against others, expanding US hegemony across the globe, and dividing and destroying nations allied to its rivals in Beijing and Moscow. It is very clear that Saudi Arabia played a role in the 9/11 attacks, as well as in terrorism of all kinds around the world before and after the attacks. Clearly the FBI and the CIA both were aware of Saudi Arabias role. It is also clear that efforts were made to protect valuable Saudi assets by spiriting them out of the country as dutiful agents attempted to do their jobs by investigating them further. Those who spirited Saudi agents and officials out of the country, protecting them from further investigation regarding their role in 9/11, are likely linked to those Americans who helped their Saudi counterparts organize and carry out the attacks. And while some FBI and CIA agents attempted to do their job, one comment toward the end of the 28 pages reveals that perhaps agents were not as aware as they should have been regarding the nature of Al Qaeda and its relationship to Saudi Arabia. The report quotes a former FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge, saying: Basically [redacted]. They were not a country identified by the State Department as a state sponsor of terrorism. And the theme or the common modus operandi that we saw in San Diego was that if there were [redacted] there, their primary objective was to monitor dissidents in the interest of protecting the royal family. So they were not viewed as an inimical threat to national security. The agents conclusion is based entirely on the assumption that the State Departments terrorist designations are meaningful and accurate. If such designations are not accurate, then the FBI would have neglected to fully investigate suspects who were indeed very much an inimical threat to national security. Today, Al Qaeda and the self-proclaimed Islamic State (ISIS) are likewise portrayed as enemies of Saudi Arabia. This is despite clear evidence showing both terrorist organizations and their affiliates in Iraq and Syria, are armed and funded by, as well as working in the direct interests of Riyadh as well as Washington. When terrorist attacks do unfold in Saudi Arabia, despite being portrayed as attacks aimed at Riyadh itself, they are often instead aimed at Shiaa targets throughout the country. Shiaa in Saudi Arabia, unlike Al Qaeda and ISIS, do represent a threat to Riyadh not predicated on fanatical extremism but instead upon self-defense against the brutality and injustice of the Saudi political system which specifically targets Shiaa. It appears that some agents, despite laboring under faulty assumptions, did attempt to do their jobs, while others appear to have been protecting suspects very likely tied to the 9/11 attacks, and possibly even tied to the attacks themselves. Together, through incompetence and collusion, the attacks unfolded, and the rest as they say is history. While the Western media now claims that many of the declassified reports allegations have been found to be without basis, the heavy redaction throughout the report leads one to believe that Saudi Arabia and the various tentacles of its security apparatus reaching into the United States are still being covered up by complicit American agents and interests. Additionally, despite the very troubling implications of the reports contents, it should be noted that in the aftermath of 9/11 the US, along with Europe, continued supplying Saudi Arabia with billions of dollars worth of military weapons while politically supporting Riyadh during its own brush with the Arab Spring in 2011. Today, despite evidence of Saudi Arabias arming and funding of designated terrorist organizations including Al Nusra, the US and Europe continue lending military and political support to Riyadh nonetheless. Saudi Arabia didnt victimize the United States on 9/11, nor trick Washington. Riyadh and Washington are partners in crime, at times in lockstep, at other times posing as adversaries when maximum plausible deniability is desired. Despite attempts to claim Saudi Arabia is blameless in the 9/11 attacks, the hijackers were undoubtedly Saudis, inspired by indoctrination that originated in Saudi-funded networks, allegedly approached and assisted by Saudi intelligence agents, and representative of terrorist organizations Riyadh to this day still arms, funds, and uses to wage it and Americas proxy wars with. The report is not really a revelation, but instead another piece of evidence that affirms the US and Saudi Arabia are collaborators in terrorism, not partners fighting it. Those who depend on either in a true fight against global terrorism, should be prepared for perpetual failure. Image Credit: TheAntiMedia.org Tony Cartalucci, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook. Why the omission of the Israelis, The Saudis close ally and partner in crime? So if the Sauds were involved the U.S. attacks all others. I see several folks here have trouble reading, comprehending, extrapolating, und so weiter.

This Is Murder [VIDEO] The parents of two teens arrested in a sniper attack on Columbia, PA police are blaming the Black Lives Matter movement for inciting a war on police. The two boys are in jail after opening fire on a group of police officers. Marquell Rentas, 17, and his cousin Trenton Nace, 18, were arrested on Friday after officers were under fire for 45 minutes. They had responded to an emergency call from an anonymous source, who reported they had heard gunshots in the area. Fortunately, no officers were shot or injured in the incident. Police were able to gain access to the house and make a full arrest of the two boys. Marquell took responsibility for the attack, telling them, Im the one who did it, Im the one who shot. My cousin didnt do it. He later told officers: I was shooting at you. F*** you, police. Now, both parents have claimed (in separate interviews) that this is the fault of the BLM movement and similar calls for violence toward law enforcement officials. They are in jail for doing what Black Lives Matter wanted them to do: shoot at cops, Marquells mother said in a statement. The truth is that these are two punk kids following the orders of an irresponsible organization and now theyre gonna pay for it. Of course, BLM supporters deny these allegations. But weve seen first-hand footage of these cries for violence. Things like pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon and dead cops now are frequently chanted at protests. Open and veiled threats are prominent. What do you think of these claims? 
1	The web-browser history on Allen and Christine Pollard's home iMac computer provides a comprehensive chronicle of the couple's deepest frustrations and desires, sources reported Monday. Allen and Christine Pollard's recent hits. 'By simply opening Allen and Christine's Internet Explorer history folder, we find their innermost longings laid bare,' said Dr. Terrence Kimble, dean of psychology at the University of California at Berkeley. 'From emotionally stunted, sexually frustrated Allen's frequent visits to porn and Camaro sites to childless Christine's frequent visits to baby-clothes sites, it's all right there.' According to Kimble, the Pollards' browser history, which logs the 200 most recent hits by users of the computer, 'offers a glimpse into an entire universe of unvoiced pain and disappointment.' 'As the Pollards enter their late 30s, all the dissatisfaction they hide from the world and, in most cases, each other can be easily found under the menu heading 'Go,'' Kimble said. 'Because he knows Christine loves living in suburbia, Allen never talks to her about his dream of roughing it in a cabin in the Rockies. He just spends hours surfing the REI and Patagonia sites, filling his virtual shopping cart with lanterns and sleeping bags, then logs out without purchasing anything.' 'Likewise,' Kimble continued, 'although Christine tells her friends that she and Allen have decided they aren't ready to have children, her www.babynames.com bookmark tells a different story.' The unfulfilled desire to procreate is by no means Christine's only source of unhappiness, Kimble said. 'While she maintains a cheery and fun-loving front, it is obvious that Christine has deep-seated self-esteem issues,' Kimble said. 'She is all but addicted to online quizzes like Redbook's 'Does Your Wardrobe Give Away Your Age?' and Cosmo's 'Are You A Bore In Bed?' With her high-school cheerleading days far behind her, Christine has yet to find a new identity with which she is comfortable.' By carefully examining the history log, it's even possible to reconstruct Allen and Christine's respective thought processes. 'Let's look at Christine's time online last night,' said Kimble, pointing to an opened history folder on the computer screen. 'She starts at the Godiva gourmet chocolates online gift catalog at 7:35 p.m. Then it's on to eDiets.com at 7:43 p.m. and the Nordic Track web site at 7:45. I'm guessing she clicked on a banner ad at eDiets to get there. Then it's on to 'Liposuction FAQs' at 7:52. Next is a page titled, 'Sexy Swimwear Sale: Dare To Be Bare.' Then, at 8:06 p.m., it's back to the Godiva chocolates secure-server online order form.' Allen and Christine Pollard. Christine admitted she keeps the details of her Internet surfing from her spouse. 'I don't mention this to Allen, because he would just say I'm being too self-critical, but I wish my nose weren't so big,' Christine said. 'I tried some of the de-emphasizing makeup tricks on the Maybelline site, but it's clear that what I really need to do is see a professional. Plasticsurgery.com says the procedure only takes six hours and is totally safe.' While Christine's browser history exposes her insecurities about her appearance, Allen's web-surfing patterns reveal his career dissatisfaction. 'It's obvious that Allen wants to quit his dead-end job at the bank and become an author,' said Kimble, pointing to a list of Allen's web links to iUniverse.com and NextGreatAmericanNovel.com. 'An author who works out of his cabin in the mountain, that is.' Despite doing so on a daily basis, the Pollards are oblivious to the fact that they pour their innermost frustrations into their blueberry iMac. 'We both really enjoy going online,' Allen said. 'It's just a great way to waste time and have a little fun.' 
3	Home Remedies for HeadachesNaomi Woods If youre someone who regularly experiences headaches, you may find it difficult to resist grabbing an over-the-counter pain reliever. Before becoming overly dependent on these pharmaceuticals, you should consider using natural solutions. These could successfully alleviate the pain without ingesting pharmaceutical drugs that can cause adverse side-effects. Here are some home remedies for headaches. For the first and easiest solution, try increasing water consumption. This type of pain can be caused by constricted blood vessels which prevent proper blood circulation and results to throbbing and pain. Water can resolve dehydration and improve blood circulation. In addition to guzzling down water once you begin to feel a headache, increase overall water consumption on a daily basis. Interestingly, peppermint oil can also help in reducing headache pains. The same effect can also be achieved by using lavender oil. It is the combination of the soothing scents and environment-feel that allows you to relax and eventually lose the intense pain. To achieve faster results, you can also rub or gently massage your head and the areas surrounding the painful area. The stimulation will allow better blood circulation as well. If your headache is caused by sinusitis, grab a pot and boil some ginger. Inhaling the vapor could be enough to help. In addition to relieving pain from headaches, ginger has also been shown to be a cancer fighter.

2	WATCH: Hillary Worker Flees After Trump Fan Catches What Shes Doing Over the past few years, liberals have steadily denied any participation in voter fraud. But its hard to argue with video evidence. According to recent reports, new footage exposed another instance of Democrat voter fraud, this time in Las Vegas. The video shows a nonpartisan voter registration worker giving voters some very bias information. The clipboard the woman is carrying featured a large picture of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump inside the classic red circle with a slash symbol. Under the picture was the phrase Stand up to Trump. The handful of flyers on her clipboard also featured the campaign logo of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, and directed voters to follow a link for more information about her campaign. When the man behind the camera confronted her about her partisanship, the woman quickly hopped into her vehicle and fled the scene. As she drives away, you can see that she has a California license plate and is clearly from out of state. This is in direct conflict with the Nevada Revised Statutes governing voter registration agencies and works. More specifically, it is in violation with NRS 293.5045, which states that any person who works for a voter registration agency shall note: (a) Seek to influence an applicants political preference or party registration; or (b) Display a political preference or party allegiance in a place where it can be seen by an applicant. Violation of the statute is a felony, which is punishable by a term of probation, four years in prison, and a fine of up to $5,000. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Does this woman need to be punished for her crimes? 
1	Fashion consultant and Project Runway host Tim Gunn surprised the Washington Wizards Monday by unexpectedly arriving at the Verizon Center locker room and offering to help Wizards players shop for less repulsive uniforms. 'I happened to see the Wizards on television, and I couldn't believe the players were out in public wearing such garish jerseys and shorts,' said Tim Gunn, who was born and raised in Washington, D.C. 'That antique-gold color is just appalling, and frankly, the unbalanced black and white bands above the names look frumpy. Furthermore, the black star details running along the sides are very unflattering.' 'No wonder the team is 7-26 this season,' added Gunn, claiming he felt obligated to assist the 'fashion-challenged' team. 'It's just shameful for professional basketball players to be dressed in outfits that fail to accentuate their strength, sleekness, and athletic qualities.' While the majority of the Wizards were initially reluctant when asked to discard their old uniforms, 6-foot-9 power forward Antawn Jamison admitted that with Gunn's guidance he felt confident enough to wear bolder colors. Jamison also said he learned that the silhouette of his former uniform did not highlight his wide shoulders. 'Tim let us know that thinner shoulder straps would give us a sophisticated yet powerful look,' Jamison said. 'Sometimes the process of finding the perfect uniform was difficult, but I'm glad we didn't settle. Now I feel like I can throw an elbow at anyone when I'm down in the paint.' Gunn, who brought the Wizards to upscale boutiques, department stores, and NBA fashion designers, repeatedly stressed that their uniforms needed to be comfortable whether they were driving to the hoop, attempting a windmill jam, or coming off the bench during garbage time of a home game. Watching video footage of himself with Gunn, center Andray Blatche admitted that he was embarrassed when the chief creative officer for Liz Claiborne revealed that the material of his jersey was bunching up in the back when he jumped for rebounds. 'In the process of finding out about a number of ways to be more stylish, I also became aware of how poorly my garments used to fit,' said Blatche. 'Tim was right when he said that, to get to the NBA Finals, we need to dress like we're going to the NBA Finals.' 'Thankfully, I found out that the top I was wearing was too long, which deemphasized the contours of my waist,' Blatche added. Although point guard Gilbert Arenas is recovering from knee surgery and hasn't played this season, Gunn was reportedly very proud of the all-star's sartorial effort. According to Gunn, Arenas was an indispensable leader who encouraged the team to try on numerous uniforms and choose colors that best complemented their build. In addition, Gunn said Arenas helped his teammates accessorize their outfits with matching headbands, shooting sleeves, and knee braces. 'Gilbert has come so far,' said Gunn, wiping away a tear with his pocket square. 'When I told him I wasn't crazy about the length of his shorts, I could not believe how receptive he was about letting me raise the hemline. Now, just look at themthey are simply gorgeous.' To the astonishment of the Wizards, Gunn rewarded the players with an unexpected visit to fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi's New York studio. The Wizards, thrilled to try on Mizrahi's newest line of gowns, were beside themselves when the designer offered to let them keep the evening dresses they were wearing for the gala during the NBA's upcoming all-star weekend.

2	Two Scandals Come Down On Hillarys Head That Will Derail Her Campaign According to shocking new reports from Newsweek writer Rory Ross, it appears that when it comes to Clinton scandals, weve only just seen the tip of the iceberg. Ross recently reported that Victor Pinchuk, Ukrainian oligarch, has courted the Clintons for nearly a decade. He was confirmed to be the largest individual contributor to the Clinton Foundation. This is suspicious in light of a series of shipments from Interpipe to Iran including railway parts and products suspected to be used for oil and has. Both the rail and oil and gas sectors are sanctioned by the United States, and Interpipe may be charged penalties. During the time of the violation, the Secretary of State was in charge of monitoring this list. The State Department has taken no public action against Pinchuk or his company. And thats no surprise, given the relationship he has with the family. Between 2009 and 2013 alone, the Clinton Foundation received at least $8.6 million from the Victor Pinchuk Foundation, whose fortune stems from a pipe-making company. In 2008, Mr. Pinchuk made a five-year, $29 million commitment to the Clinton Global Initiative, in order to fund a program to train future Ukrainian leaders and professionals to modernize Ukraine. What do you think of the suspicious reports? Is Hillary Clinton clearly corrupt? Does she belong far away from the White House? 
3	Globalized TortureStephen Lendman Guantanamo operates lawlessly. Its Americas public face. Its the tip of the iceberg. More on that below. Gitmo detainees gave few ways to resist. Refusing food challenges injustice. Around 130 havent eaten in over two months. Theyre hunger striking for justice. Russia Today reports regularly on whats happening. On April 12, it headlined Day of Action to Close Guantanamo: US Cities protest Obamas inaction. selfnewss and people of conscience rallied in New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles, and other US cities. Media scoundrels ignored them. They turn a blind eye to Guantanamo atrocities. They support imperial lawlessness. Protesters wore orange jump suits. Some had on black hoods. They did so to attract attention. Two dozen human rights organization signed an open letter to Obama. In part it said: The situation is the predictable result of continuing to hold prisoners indefinitely without charge for more than 11 years. We urge you to begin working to transfer the remaining detained men to their home countries or other countries for resettlement, or to charge them in a court that comports with fair trial standards. The Center for Constitutional Rights calls Guantanamo a notorious example of US lawlessness. Straightaway in office, Obama promised to close Guantanamo. He lied. Hes a serial liar. Gitmo remains open. Its one of many US torture prisons. They operate globally. They do so lawlessly. Torture is official US policy. George Bush approved it. Obama operates the same. On September 17, 2001, Bush signed a secret finding. It authorized the CIA to capture, kill or interrogate Al-Qaeda leaders. It established a secret global network. It operates extrajudicially. On November 13, 2001, Bush issued Military Order Number 1. It was a watershed coup detat action. It determined that an extraordinary emergency exists for national defense purposes, that this emergency constitutes an urgent and compelling government interest and that issuance of this order is necessary to meet the emergency. It authorized the capture, kidnapping, or otherwise arrest of non-citizens anywhere in the world. It did so based on unproved international terrorism allegations. It approved holding detainees indefinitely without charge, evidence or due process rights. The order later applied to US citizens. Secret military commissions were authorized. Habeas rights and judicial fairness are denied. Torture obtained evidence is used. Appeals were ruled out. International, constitutional and US statute laws dont apply. Secret memos followed. Torture was officially authorized. War on terror priorities override rule of law protections. George Bush got complete discretion in the exercise of his authority in conducting operations against hostile forces. Obama operates the same way. He takes full advantage. Horrendous crimes of war and against humanity continue. Dont expect media scoundrels to explain. On February 5, the Open Society Foundations (OSF) published a report titled Globalizing Torture: CIA Secret Detention and Extraordinary Rendition. Its the story the CIA doesnt want you to (know of or) talk about. Snatching people off the streets is policy. So is hanging people from the ceiling (and) freezing (them) to death on a concrete floor. This is the story of how the United States used its position to cajole, persuade, and strong-arm 54 other countries to take part in the CIAs post-9/11 campaign of secret detention and torture. Post-9/11, the gloves came off. Black sites were established. Suspected terrorists were lawlessly abducted. Extraordinary rendition followed. Torture became official policy. It remains so. On September 16, 2001, Dick Cheney said: We have to work, sort of on the dark side, if you will. Weve got to spend time in the shadows in the intelligence world. A lot of what needs to be done here will have to be done quietly, without any discussion, using sources and methods that are available to our intelligence agencies, if were going to be successful. Thats the world these folks operate in, and so its going to be vital for us to use any means at our disposal, basically, to achieve our objective. Rule of law principles no longer applied. They still dont. Anything goes became policy. CIA black sites were established. Enhanced interrogation techniques became code language for torture and other forms of abuse. Suspects were snatched and disappeared. Foreign governments are complicit. The full scale and scope of (their) participation as well as the number of victims remains unknown. Its largely because of extreme secrecy. Washington refuses to admit involvement. Nor do participating foreign governments. OSFs report provides comprehensive documentation of whats known. It identified 136 victims. It named 54 complicit countries. They include Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Djibouti, Egypt, Ethiopia, Finland, Gambia, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Iceland, Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Libya, Lithuania, Macedonia, Malawi, Malaysia, Mauritania, Morocco, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Syria, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan, Yemen and Zimbabwe. They host CIA prisons on their territories. They permit indefinite detention, interrogations, torture and other forms of abuse. They assist in capturing and transporting detainees. They allow use of their domestic airspace. They provide intelligence information. Torture is illegal at all times, under all circumstances, with no allowed exceptions. Its morally and ethically repugnant. Its ineffective. No reliable information is gained. Detainees say anything to stop pain. Its used against them. Its done so illegally. Its used to justify Americas war on terror. It continues without end. Investigations arent conducted. Crimes of war and against humanity go unpunished. Canada is the only country to issue an apology. It did so reluctantly. It pertained to Maher Arar. He was abducted and extraordinarily renditioned to Syria. He was held uncharged. He was brutally tortured. He committed no crime. Syria later said he was completely innocent. Canada publicly cleared him. He received millions in compensation for his ordeal. He filed suit under the Torture Victims Protection Act: Arar v. Ashcroft et al. He charged Attorney General John Ashcroft, FBI Director Robert Mueller, then Homeland Security head Tom Ridge, and various US immigration officials with violating his due process right. The Center for Constitutional Rights represented him. Washington invoked the State Secrets Privilege. It filed a motion to dismiss. The US District Court for the Eastern District of New York did so on national security grounds. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld it. The US Supreme Court declined to hear the case. Justice remains denied. The Obama administration continues to withhold documents relating to the CIA Office of Inspector General investigations into extraordinary rendition and secret detention. They continue lawlessly. Despite efforts to conceal information, it continue(s) to find its way into the public domain. Victims rights in America are denied. Challenging complicit governments are being heard in courts around the world. The European Court of Human Rights ruled that Macedonias involvement violated Khaled el-Masris rights under the European Convention on Human Rights. His ill-treatment amounted to torture. Italys highest court upheld convictions of US and complicit Italian officials. It did so for their involvement in extraordinarily renditioning Abu Omar to Egypt. The UN Convention against Torture prohibits refoulement. It pertains to expelling, returning, or extraditing a person to another country where there are substantial grounds to believe he (or she) would be in danger of being tortured. A former CIA agent once said: If you want a serious interrogation, you send a prisoner to Jordan. If you want them tortured, you send them to Syria. If you want someone to disappear, you send them to Egypt. Many other countries operate the same way. They include America, Western allies, Israel, and other Middle East nations. They operate extrajudicially, unchecked and unaccountably. Other legal challenges continue. Theyre ongoing against Poland, Lithuania, Romania, Italy, Djibouti, Egypt, Hong Kong and Britain. America bears most responsibility. Its the worlds leading human rights abuser. Its out-of-control and unaccountable. Justice delayed is denied. Its long overdue.

According to Liberty Writers News, the president-elect just declared that all officials working his campaign, on his transition team, and on his cabinet will be banned from working as DC lobbyists for 5 years, to prevent them from using their connections for improper self-gain. But thats not all. The news source also reports that anyone who wants to work for Trump is required to immediately end all of their current connections to lobbying groupsor be fired immediately. This proposal has long-time Senators and lobbying groups panicking. Mitch McConnel refused to acknowledge the ban when he was pressured by reporters. The National Institute for Lobbying and Ethics also tried to intimidate Trump. This will have a chilling effect on his hiring, no doubt, it argued. What do you think? Do you support Trumps plans to drain the swamp of Washington?

3	Cash Is No Longer King: The Phasing Out of Physical Money Has BegunBy Shaun Bradley The war on cash isnt going to be waged overnight, and showdowns will continue in any country where citizens turn to alternatives like precious metals or decentralized cryptocurrencies. Although this transition may feel like a natural progression into the digital age, the real motivation to go cashless is downright sinister. The unprecedented collusion between governments and central banks that occurred in 2008 led to bailouts, zero percent interest rates and quantitative easing on a scale never before seen in history. Those decisions, which were made under duress and in closed-door meetings, set the stage for this inevitable demise of paper money. Sacrificing the stability of national currencies has been used as a way prop upfailing private institutions around the globe. By kicking the can down the road yet another time, bureaucrats and bankers sealed the fate of the financial system as we know it. A currency war has been declared, ensuring that the U.S. dollar, euro, yen and many other state currencies are linked in a suicide pact. Printing money and endlessly expanding debt are policies that will erode the underlying value of every dollar in peoples wallets, as well as digital funds in their bank accounts. This new war operates in the shadows of the publics ignorance, slowly undermining social and economic stability through inflation and other consequences of central control. As the Federal Reserve leads the rest of the worlds central banks down the rabbit hole, the vortex its creating will affect everyone in the globalized economy. Peter Schiff, president of Euro-Pacific Capital, has written several books on the state of the financial system. His focus is on the long-term consequences of years of government and central bank manipulation of fiat currencies: If you want a glimpse 0f how this story ends, all you have to do is look at Venezuela, where the government has destroyed the value of the bolivar (and U.S. intervention has further exacerbated the problem). Desperation has overcome the country, leading women to go as far as selling their own hairjust to get by. While crime and murder rates have spiked to all-time highs, the most dangerous threat to Venezuelans has been extensive government planning. The money they work for and save is now so valueless its weighedinstead of counted. The stacks of bills have to be carried around inbackpacks, and the scene is reminiscent of the hyperinflation Weimar Germany experienced in the 1920s. Few Western nations have ever experienced a currency crisis before, meaning many are blind to the inevitable consequences that come from the unending stimulus weve seen since 2008. In order to keep this kind of chaos from spreading like a contagion to the rest of the world, representatives are willing to do anything necessary, but thiscomes at a cost. Instead of having to worry about carrying around wheelbarrows full of money, the fear in a cashless society will likely stem from bank customers restricted access to funds. With no physical way for consumers to take possession of their wealth, the banking interests will decide how much is available. The level of trust most people still have in the current system is astonishing. Even after decades of incompetence, manipulation, and irresponsibility, the public still grasps to government and the established order like a child learning how to swim. The responsibility that comes with independence has intimidated the entire population into leaving the decisions up to so-called experts. It just so happens that those trusted policymakers have an agenda to strip you and future generations of prosperity. Some of the few hopes in this war against centralization are peer-to-peer technologies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. These innovative platforms have the potential to open up markets that circumvent state-controlled Ponzi schemes. The future development of crypto-assets has massive potential, but being co-opted is a real danger. The greatest threat to individual freedom is financial dependence, and as long as your wealth is under someone elses control, it can never be completely secure. Unfortunately, private blockchains are becoming increasingly popular, creating trojan horses for those just learning about the technology (in contrast, Bitcoins transaction ledger is public) . Without the decentralized aspect of a financial network, it is just a giant tracking database that can be easily compromised like any other. The World Economic Forum released a report on the future of financial infrastructure. Giancarlo Bruno, Head of Financial Services Industries at WEFstated: Rather than to stay at the margins of the finance industry, blockchain will become the beating heart of it. It will help build innovative solutions across the industry, becoming ever more integrated into the structure of financial services, as mainframes, messaging services, and electronic trading did before it. The list of countries who are exploring integrating blockchain technology into their central banking system is extensive. Just to name a few; Singapore,Ukraine, France, Finland and many others are in the process of researching and testing out options. For those who appreciate more tangible wealth, diversifying into hard assets like gold and silver is a great first step. Its not about becoming a millionaire or getting rich quickly, but rather, using precious metals as vehicles for investment in the long-term. Regardless of what events unfold over the decades to come, the wealth preserved in physical form is more secure than any other asset. Forty years ago it was possible to save your money in the bank and accumulate interest over time, but that opportunity no longer exists. Those who fail to adapt to this new financial twilight zone will likely find themselves living as slaves to debt for years. Control and confidence are two of the most important things in the system we live in. Once these digital spider webs have been put into place, the ability for an individual to maintain privacy or anonymity will all but disappear. Only through understanding the subversive actions being taken can people protect themselves from having to put their future in someone elses hands. The cash that allows free transactions without tax burdens or state scrutiny wont be around much longer. There will be many rationalizations for a cashless society in the years to come, but without fixing this broken financial system first, this will only ensure that despotism gains an even sturdier foothold.

As long as there is cash you can protect your wealth to some extent. You can maintain the ability to buy goods and services you need. You are not totally at the mercy of the banks. THAT is the last thing they want. Of course the swamp unholy bipeds wish to track your every move and eve though there will be no need for minters or printers they will most certainly charge unChristian USURY.

3	10 Things Making Up the Anatomy of a False Flag DiseaseBy Paul A. Philips So, here are 10 common repetitive patterns making up the anatomy of a false flag disease. Through unquestioning blind acceptance, going into agreement with the general consensus through mass media spin the sheep-like public immediately assume that the official authoritative view regarding the disease outbreak is correct. Those not readily accepting the official view, able to think for themselves, through questioning suspect that a deception may be at work. For starters, something to immediately arouse suspicion at least at the early stages of the scare is the fact that these diseases have existed before and had only produced temporary mild feverish, flu-like symptoms. So why the sudden epidemic outbreak of a so-called deadly virus? As with other false flag diseases, the Zika deadly virus claim was found by independent investigative journalists such as Jon Rappoport to have a number of unfounded assertions, irreconcilable errors and contradictions. The first stage when proving that a particular virus is responsible for an epidemic is to show its presence in every case or prove overwhelmingly by percentage. But in the realm of a false flag disease this doesnt happen. With, for example, the recent Zika pandemic outbreak in Brazil it was discovered that there were 404 cases, not the suspected 4783: Then only 17 of these 404 claimed cases could confirm the Zika virus! But the Brazilian authorities ignored this and just went on to falsely claim that Zika was responsible for microcephaly (children born with abnormally small heads due to incomplete brain development). Wasnt this a case of bad science/bad lies; the Emperor has no clothes..? Then there was the case of the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Heres some good armor for your false flag/false claims detection kit. Beware of 2 unreliable and untrustworthy tests: The PCR (Polymerise Chain Reaction) and antibody tests. As with other diseases these tests were used to falsely claim that Ebola was responsible for the 2014 outbreak. The PCR test is prone to misidentification and contamination errors as it relies on growing such a tiny amount of viral fragment sample and can only produce qualitative results not quantitative, meaning that it cannot indicate whether or not a person has enough virus in them to get sick. The antibody test if carried out correctly (as this test is frequently prone to errors) has the same problems in that it can only produce qualitative results. It can only tell if the person tested has antibodies for the specific virus. This would at least indicate that the person had at one time contracted the virus. However, it cannot tell whether or not the person presently has enough of the virus to get sick or have any virus in them at all! Thus in both cases highly questionable results have been used to indicate sickness and disease. Furthering the above, lists of symptoms that are used to diagnose the disease have been known to be very broad, as for example, in the case of SARS. A person may be diagnosed with SARS but because the lists of symptoms to confirm the disease are so broad then they could have other unrelated illnesses such as a heavy cold. The same situation has occurred with the swine flu and other so-called deadly outbreaks. Unfounded assertions, irreconcilable errors and contradictions continue to exist in the form of the official claim that the false flag disease has only one condition and is linked to only one cause, in spite of evidence to the contrary. For example, the one condition, AIDS, has been linked (and indeed still is) to the one cause HIV virus. How can this be the case when: A) Any virus, such as the common cold, would affect 50% males and 50% females, as with AIDS in Africa. So how can the one cause HIV virus be used to explain AIDS when the affected ratio in the USA is 85% males and 15% females?? B) Taking the case of Africa. The umbrella term AIDS includes many illnesses. However, instead of taking into account that these illnesses are all poverty related (poor sanitation, malnutrition, dysentery, parasitic infection, etc.), people have been programmed to accept that AIDS in Africa is simply all down to one virus, HIV. The USAs 85% males and 15% females AIDS ratio can be explained in terms of drug taking history: This is the same ratio for drug addiction. In other words, whether itsin the USA or Africa, through a number of different circumstancesAIDSis the result of a failed immune system, but these multiplecausative factors are ignored. It continues on a lack of evidence or false scientific data, assumption and guesswork. People challenging the official view could be met with invalidation or even ridicule from those ignorant of the truth. The faked deadly disease is one of a number of false bogeymen like fake terrorism, designed by the powers that be to keep us in a constant state of fear. Then, to add to the theatre of illusion, common in false flags, there are crisis actors as in the case of Ebola. Once again, false justification and ignorance continues. Anyone from the outside looking in would write this off as complete madness had they not worked out the ulterior motive behind the false flag disease which is: Yes, those hoary old chestnuts of power, profit and political gain reveal the truth behind the reason for a false flag disease. Its the classic problem, reaction, solution scenario. Problem: The powers that be secretly manufacture and orchestrate a fake disease. Reaction: Predictably, believing the official line that a disease is at work, people affected demand help and want treatment. Solution: The authorities, health authorities such as the WHO, corporations like Big Pharma with approval from corrupt politicians and the mainstream media see that those affected are given questionable help. Questionable medicines such as vaccinations (which in some cases had just happened to be in the developmental stages just before the outbreak!) and expensive invasive drugs that make huge profits from sales while a ton of revenue goes to Big Government With a solution like this it doesnt take a genius to see why the powers that be had secretly created the problem to begin with. Further The fake disease helps advance hidden agendas such as a population reduction using a deadly virus cover as an excuse to implement birth control The fake disease scenario has been used as a convenient cover up for hiding a number of inconvenient truths, as in the case of the Zika virus: The Mayo Clinic has stated that a number of genetic and environmental factors could cause microcephaly. Instead of looking at the high numbers of poisonous vaccines, pesticides like glyphosate, metolachlor and atrazine deliberately sprayed in Brazil which can cause microcephaly, where theres a lack of sanitation, malnutrition the authorities have blamed it on the Zika virus (remember, one condition = one cause). Conveniently, this ignores the evil biotech and agricultural corporations with their poisons and allows them to continue to profiteer and exploit those suffering in misery and distress; as, for instance in the case of receiving ongoing funding for the development of GM mosquitoes to deal with the problem. Its quite simple, if you poison the populace with the above, as in the case of pregnant mothers, then terrible things can happen: Neurotoxins from the poisons can get into the mother and affect the developing foetal brain and cause microcephaly In spite of all the claims, how the bogeyman disease is going to take countless lives by the hour, sweeping epidemically nothing ever comes of it. The mass media cover soon drops and then in time people forget about the disease. The same old movie script will keep repeating itself over and over until people finally wake up, deconstruct these false flags by recognising their repetitive deceptions; then, through public outrage, demand that certain actions be taken and certain changes be made to get justice. Faked diseases or other false flags, will their constant repetitiveness be the perpetrators downfall? Will the perpetrators false flags finally get worked out, having served as catalysts for a massive public wake-up call? Please spread this piece (or other similar pieces) far and wide. You can read more from Paul A. Philips at his site NewParadigm.ws this is a nice link shared by a friend This is awesome! Definitely a must share! Thank you Proving that the who and cdc are bought from the top down. It would be more accurate to call the general category Psy-Ops rather than False Flags false flags are just one category of Psy Ops. Like 9/11 and man-made global warming: all lies. Same sh*t, different toilet. Here is working list of the things that make up a media false flag purely done to keep you terrorized about doing anything you might like to ALL DISEASES ARE FALSE FLAG..THEY ARE CONCOCTED UP TO HURT CITIZENS Yes its called one of two things: The Germ Theory of disease Heres a different take on the flawed germ theory (in this case Zika, the flying virus): Live Viruses Are Always Dead: The term live virus means only those created from living tissue cultures in vitro (within the laboratory) since trillions of them result from live tissue. But herein lies the point: even though some laboratory cultures are kept alive, there is massive cell turnover in the process, and it is from these dying cells that viruses are obtained. They are always dead and inactive because they have no metabolism or life, except being molecules of DNA and protein. Since viruses are not alive, they cannot act in any of the ways as ascribed to them by medical authorities except as a functional unit of our normal genetic material inside the cells nucleus or the mitochondrian nucleus within the cell. Upon cellular death, mitochondria are broken down by lysosomes but not always completely, due to their highly protective double membrane sheath. And here is where this explanation gets interesting. According to Guytons Textbook of Medical Physiology, a virus is said to be a minute bit of genetic material (called a genome) which is literally about a billionth the size of a cell. The genome is surrounded by a capsid covering that is usually a double lipid protein sheath and is actually composed of two unit membranes (almost identical to the cell membrane) which, incidentally, is the very structure of the mitochondrian nucleus. Photos of viruses revealed through electron microscopes show their membranes to be rough and jagged, sometimes only pan of one layer and sometimes one layer and a portion of the second, which is consistent with the self-digesting action of lysosomes when their job of breaking down cellular waste is partial and incomplete. As such, this description of a virus is virtually identical with the description of the remaining genomes of the cells mitochondria as well. At one point, viruses were once living matter and some physiology texts hypothesise that they are the debris of spent cells. Lysosomes that disintegrate the spent cell often fail to break up these viruses surrounded by the double-lipid coat membrane. It is surprising that researchers fail to recognise these for what they apparently are namely, spent mitochondrian generic material, particularly fragments of RNA and DNA. Viruses Are Not Micro-organisms Even though medical authorities mistakenly attribute to this dead cellular debris the powers of life and malevolence, microbiologists acknowledge that viruses are dead bits of DNA in a protein-lipid membrane coat, although failing to understand its source. These so-called viruses are merely lifeless fragments of mitochondrial generic debris. Because of this, viruses cannot cause disease unless they accumulate as filth and pollute our cells, tissues and circulation upon cellular death. Viruses, then, are dead genomes from disintegrated cells whose cellular membrane is not completely broken down by cellular lysosomes. Photos of alleged viruses injecting themselves into a cell actually show the cell literally engulfing the virus or proteinaceous debris. A dent, called invagination, then forms and the organic matter is surrounded by cellular substance which closes off, forming an impromptu stomach, and the virus disappears. The stomach then fills with powerful lysosome enzymes which digest the organic material, breaking it down into amino acids and fatty acids for recycling or elimination. This process is a normal feature of cell physiology called phagocytosis (literally, cell-eating) the routine process of cellular ingestion and enzymatic digestion of bacteria, dead tissue debris and other errant cells. Viruses are merely inert organic material totally devoid of all life qualities and are never seen to act. Photographs purporting to show viruses in action are outright frauds: what is actually shown is an ordinary physiological process of phagocytosis which occurs countless times daily within the body. http://www.mednat.org/ExposingTheMythOfTheGermTheory.pdf Get the solutions to your problems here . we sell cannabis oil , medical marijuana strains , wax and edibles , visit our website : 420cannabisplug dot com Buy our medical marijuana strains available on deck on stock .

2	Mayor Tries To Ban Guns But This Sheriff Sets Him Straight In 30 Seconds Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel is a close friend of President Barack Obama, and was once his Chief of Staff. Now, hes displaying just the kind of company Obama keeps. At a Memorial Day event scheduled to honor our fallen soldiers, the mayor decided to talk about gun laws. Way to bring up controversial politics rather than to take the opportunity to thank and pay tribute to the men and women in uniform who fight for our freedoms every day. Sheriff David Clarke did not take kindly to Emmanuels disrespectful actions, and decided to speak out against him. His defense of the second amendment almost cost him his job, but he took it upon himself to defend the rights of the American people. What do you think? Does Obama need to be out of the White House immediately? Should he take his friends with him? 
1	Hoping to build on the momentum from his victory in the Ohio Republican primary last night, presidential candidate John Kasich reportedly spent much of Wednesday trying to locate other states where he is a beloved multi-term governor. Given our campaigns tremendous success in Ohio, Ive instructed my top staffers to focus all their efforts on identifying additional states where I am currently a widely popular governor, or have been in the past, the candidate told reporters, adding that several aides were currently placing calls to every statehouse in the country to determine whether Kasich is a sitting governor anywhere else. We want to move forward with the strategy thats worked for us, and that means campaigning hard in states where my current constituents live. Ive proved that I can win big in areas where Im the governor, and now its time to take that approach nationwide. Kasich went on to admit that he was still playing catch-up after his earlier strategy of trying to find states with a sizable moderate Republican base had proved unsuccessful. 
1	The Committee of College Basketball Nets, a social responsibility coalition consisting of 31 basketball nets from all NCAA Division I conferences, used the University of Kansas' 75-68 victory over the University of Memphis Monday as a platform to further their cause of preventing celebrating players and coaches from savagely cutting down basketball nets. 'As we speak, another two nets have been lost,' basketball net ACC told reporters during a press conference, adding that though it understands the importance of tradition, the cutting down of college basketball nets with scissors is 'an inherently barbaric practice that has no place in civilized society.' 'Those nets that were cut tonight had futures. They might have gone on to be with a family in a backyard or driveway somewheremaybe they could have even gone pro. But instead they were cut down in their prime. Please, on behalf of all of us, stop.' When asked if the net had any other causes it wanted to champion, it responded, 'Other then wanting people to stop cutting basketball nets? No.' 
3	United States Accused of Planting Avian Flu in Recent H7N9 OutbreakJanet C. Phelan The last few years have seen several false alarms on the pandemic front. Neither the bird flu of 2004 nor the swine flu of 2009-2010 ended up being of much concern, although agencies from the WHO on down certainly created quite a flurry around both of these flu bugs. H7N9 has already shown itself to have a high mortality rate, higher in fact than the Spanish flu of 1918, which caused 50 million deaths worldwide. The latest figures show H7N9 as having a mortality rate of 21- 24%. Out of 131 reported cases, thirty-one have died and most remain on the critical list. The bug has already jumped from Mainland China to Taiwan and a number of articles on H7N9 have nervously published the flight paths out of China to the rest of the world, which show how quickly an infected person or persons could create a global pandemic. Already, there are questions as to whether H7N9 has mutated and is now transmissible from human to human. Of those who have been documented as infected with this flu, several are family members of others who have been infected. As quoted in Quartz on April 18, The Chinese National Health and Family Planning Commission said on Thursday it could not rule out human-to-human transmission in the case of a Shanghai familytwo brothers, at least one of whom has the virus, and their 87-year-old father, who was the first confirmed H7N9 fatality. A husband and wife in Shanghai also both contracted H7N9. (Source) H7N9 is made up of four strains, which have been delineated as coming from a migratory bird in East Asia, a duck from the Yangtze River Delta and then subsequently mixed with poultry. Its novel gene sequence is already considered to have enabled it to adapt to human hosts. H7N9 is considered to be resistant to the popular flu countermeasure, Tamiflu. After Chinese PLA Colonel Dai Xu posted a scathing attack on the United States, accusing the primary global power of releasing H7N9 as a bioweapon on the mainland of China, the U.S. was quick to respond, denying the allegations. However, Dai Xus accusation, posted on the Chinese microblog Sina Weibu, brings up an inconvenient fact. The United States has already been documented as violating the international biological weapons treaty, known as the BWC and has launched a covert program of offensive biological warfare research. Should the U.S. intend to launch a global pandemic for the purposes of population reduction and/or genocide, what better mechanism than to plant a bug in a faraway country, to obscure the genesis of the initiating event and to make this appear as if this were out of the U.S.s control and jurisdiction? The fact that several selective delivery systems for biological/chemical warfare have already been documented within the borders of the United States adds credence to the perception that a flu planted in another country could be used as a cover for a selective devastation of certain demographic groups within the First World. The declaration of a global pandemic gives the WHO the power to mandate vaccinations, overriding sovereign national law concerning the right of refusal. Vaccines, imposter pharmaceuticals, the double line water system any and all of these mechanisms could be used to launch a bio/chem attack under the cover of a global pandemic. Speaking under conditions of anonymity in a recent interview, a well-connected U.S. microbiologist stated that he believed that the United States was launching a covert program of biological warfare which would selectively impact designated target groups. He also stated concerns as to H7N9 being one of the tools which could be used to accomplish a genocidal agenda. China, he also pointed out, has possibly the largest depository of rare earth minerals in the world. You cant get at them with all these billions of people living right on top of them, he said. A number of insiders, including Dr. Daniel Gerstein of the Department of Homeland Security, former Senators Bill Talent and Bob Graham of the Weapons of Mass Destruction Center in Washington, D.C. and vaccine manufacturer, Dr. J. Joseph Kim of Inovio Pharmaceuticals, have stated that a major global pandemic is likely to take place before the end of 2013.

1	Expressing frustration while viewing the Mystic Aquariums stingray exhibit with his family, local dad Jeff Palmer told reporters Wednesday that he didnt shell out $100 of his hard-earned cash just to listen to a lecture about the ecosystem. I paid good money to see some fish and big sharks with my kids, not hear a guy spout off about this coral species thats going extinct, said Palmer, adding that he had expected the marine expert talking about rising ocean temperatures to instead hold up a stingray that visitors could touch or, at the very least, feed it some type of fish that they could all watch it eat. Come on, I didnt drive all the way out here just to have some boring scientist list off a whole bunch of endangered species. Cant I just watch the seals swimming around in the tank without another stupid speech about shrinking habitats? At press time, Palmer was growing pretty goddamn sick of getting raked over the coals every time he tapped on the aquariums glass to get the attention of the sharks. 
2	Al Sharpton Demands That Kid Rock Ditch The Confederate Flag, So He Does THIS Instead [VIDEO] According to recent reports, Al Sharptons National Action Network (NAN) has taken on an attack against rock star Kid Rock, demanding that he stop using the Confederate battle flag. Kid Rock has been known to use the flag in both his personal life and performances, and the NAN is demanding that he either stops or face a national boycott and protest movement. Shortly after the announcement, Fox News Megyn Kelly decided to speak up, covering the debate with radio host Dana Loesh. She had with her a statement from Kid Rock himself. Watch the video below and tell us what you think of Kid Rocks response.

1	South African golfer Ernie Els followed an errant golf ball into the scrub woods of the Dove Mountain course rough Wednesday during the Accenture Match Play tournament and has now been missing for over 36 hours, PGA officials have announced. 'Els went too long on the fifth hole and struck his ball into a dense stand of sage, creosote tree, and saguaro cactus from which both Els and his ball have yet to emerge,' the PGA's Ana Laird told reporters, struggling to be heard over the drone of rescue helicopters combing the brush. 'We are unsure if Els was carrying water, matches, or any of the survival equipment the PGA recommends our golfers take into the rough as a matter of routine, but we stress that he will not be in danger until 96 hours have passed, and will only be assessed a three-stroke penalty.' Though no sign of Els has been found, rescuers investigating circling buzzards over the sand trap on the par 4 dogleg-right sixth hole fairway have found what they believe to be the desiccated remains of John Daly. 
1	WASHINGTON, DCA red-faced Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) admitted Monday that, as part of last week's $397 billion spending bill, Congress accidentally allocated $121 million to the National Endowment for the Arts. Above: Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) and Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) react to the inadvertent $121 million arts endowment. 'We approved what?' said Frist upon learning of the inadvertent arts funding. 'I don't recall putting my name on anything like that. Any funding of the arts was purely accidental. I repeat, any financial support of artists, musicians, or writers on my part was done unwittingly and unknowingly.' 'That bill was more than 3,000 pages, single-spaced,' Frist added. 'It's pretty easy to miss something.' The 2003-04 budget bill, which passed 338-83 in the House and 76-20 in the Senate, boosted defense spending by $98 billion and pledged $27 billion in tax breaks to oil companies and other energy concerns. It also unintentionally allocated more than $120 million to 'award financial assistance for projects, productions, workshops, or programs that will encourage public knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of the arts.' 'That wording was confusing,' Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) said. 'I did not fully understand what that meant. I assumed it had something to do with scientific or military research, so I voted for it. I'm sure I wasn't the only one to misinterpret that.' On Capitol Hill, countless legislators expressed embarrassment over voting for the bill, admitting that the arts funding simply slipped by them. 'I don't know how this could have happened,' Rep. Gil Gutknecht (R-MN) said. 'I thought I read the thing pretty carefully, but toward the bottom of page 117, those four words are right there in black and white: American Jazz Masters Fellowship.' Making the blow even more severe is the fact that the NEA will have the power to determine how the funds are distributed. 'As I understand it, not only will the government provide money for paintings and poems, it will have little say over how that money is used,' Gutknecht said. 'This means some limp-wristed NEA member will decide what qualifies as art rather than Congress or the president. Remind me never to skim a bill again, no matter how long it is.' Above: The new home of the Boogabong Players, an avant-garde Stowe, VT, puppet-theater troupe. Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) spoke out in defense of his embarrassed colleagues. 'In those final, frantic days of House-Senate bargaining, money was flying everywhere,' Bayh said. '$3.1 billion to subsidize cattle ranchers here, $1.5 billion to help states revamp their electoral systems there. I can see how, in all that chaos, $185,000 for the Dance Theater of Harlem could get overlooked.' Many citizens do not excuse the lawmakers' negligence. 'These congressmen must be held accountable,' said Ronald Drake, a Lincoln, NE, hardware-store owner. 'My hard-earned tax dollars will be supporting repertory theaters and art galleriesplaces no decent, hard-working American would ever set foot in. And then there's the museums I always hear about on the news, with the dirty photos and whatnot.' Some senators tried to defuse criticism by playing up the 'many wonderful parts' of the bill. 'We need to keep this in perspective,' Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE) said. 'Let's try to focus on the $390 million that will go toward mineral drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, rather than the $15,000 that may wind up going to some guy who wants to put on a Shakespeare play.' Added Hagel: 'I can't be everywhere at once. It was [bipartisan Budget Committee member and Republican Colorado Rep. Tom] Tancredo's job to look out for things like this.' While Rep. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) introduced the line item that grants the NEA chairperson the power to award literature fellowships, she said she never expected it to be approved. 'I always throw some doomed things in there so we have something to take out,' Stabenow said. 'This time, I put the arts funding in to distract everyone from the section allocating money for school-breakfast programs in low-income districts. Live and learn.' Dana Gioia, the internationally acclaimed poet, critic, and educator who was recently named NEA chairman, was 'as shocked as anyone' by the financial windfall. 'I can't wait to start making calls,' Gioia said. 'There's a Latina artist in Los Angeles who makes these amazing multimedia collages that combine the religious iconography of her strict Catholic upbringing with photographs of horse vaginas.' 
2	Thug Protestors Try To Wreck Fallen Soldiers Funeral So Patriotic Bikers Do THIS [VIDEO] In this viral video, a group of protestors are taught a serious lesson when they attempt to ruin an Army rangers funeral. According to Westboro Baptist Church, God Hates America and is Killing Our Troops In His Wrath. The craziest part is that the fringe group is pretending to be of Christian faith. The group was expected to make an appearance at 1:15 p.m. on the day of the funeral, but they never showed up. Still, counter terrorists surrounded the event, lining the street with signs and American flags. Several biker groups from around the Pacific Northwest also showed up in support of the fallen soldier. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
2	BREAKING: Another Clinton Associate Found Dead... Body Count Rises This post is not written as fact. Were simply highlighting a series of eerie coincidences. Its up to you to draw your own conclusions. Recently, the release of several reports and documents has raised questions about whether or not the Clintons would resort to violence to obtain and stay in power. Thats because 46 people close to the Clintons have lost their lives during their rise to political powerincluding 8 personal bodyguards to the family. What is questionable is the fact that many of the victims have had inside dirt on the familyand would have done major damage to their reputations had they gotten the chance to speak out. Mary Mahoney, a former White House intern, is a perfect example of this. Mahoney was murdered at a Starbucks she was managing in 1997. She was a major leader in the 1992-1995 campaignat a time when many of the other interns were reportedly being harassed by Clinton. As such, she could have been a major witness in the Clinton impeachment trial. It doesnt stop with Mahoney, though. There have also been a series of suicides of people close to the Clintons. This includes Vicent Foster, a White House Counselmen who died in 1993 in what police report was suicide by gunshot. Of course, there was no gun found at the scene. Foster was investigating the Clintons finances at the time, and had called Clinton hours before his death. Later, it was revealed that Fosters suicide note was a forgery. What do you think of these mysterious coincidences? 
3	When Did Peaceful Protests Become Anti-Government Rallies?Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. First Amendment in the Bill of Rights. I love my children more than anything in the world, as Im sure all of the parents reading this can relate. Its a strange way to start a post about free speech and word manipulation, but I assure you its relevant. The recent story of a couple kidnapping their own children from a court-appointed custodian after having their parental rights stripped has jarred me to the core. This could easily be me, or you. What did the parents do that was so awful that they lost permanent parental rights of their boys? ABC reports: According to earlier information, the couple lost custody of the two boys after attending an anti-government rally in Louisiana. The father was charged with possession of drugs (pot) in the presence of the children. (my emphasis and additions). VIDEO BELOW: What really shocked me in this story was the use of anti-government rally in place of peaceful protest. Arent all protests for redress of grievances anti-government? I realized that this was done very deliberately, and not the first time Ive seen this subtle tactic used to bastardize the First Amendment right to free speech. In fact, it is now frequently used in place of demonstrations or protests in news headlines everywhere. Google anti-government rally and have fun scrolling. It seems that when the establishment dislikes the message of a given demonstration they call it an anti-government rally ever-so-slightly invoking thoughts of Klan rallies and all the emotional triggers that come with it. Just like how all pro-Second Amendment demonstrations are referred to as gun rallies. Compare this rhetoric of the Arab Spring or Uprising, or Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. Anti-government rally was NEVER used by the establishment to describe those protests. So when it is used, its negative connotation is clearly being used for a purpose. But for what? To change the definition of peaceful protesters to something more insidious? Or to soil free speech altogether? Or both? The right to peaceably assemble has already become criminalized. People protesting too close to public buildings in America are now felons thanks to the passage of HR 347, theFederal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011, or Trespass Act. It seems that was the beginning of demonizing protests as anti-government. In a free society there is nothing wrong with protesting the governments actions, or even in the term anti-government. Yet, since the war-on-terror-industrial complex seems to have run out of Islamic villains to demonize, detain indefinitely, torture, or drone bomb, a new enemy had to be invented to keep the money flowing and civil liberties suppressed. The US Justice Department and Homeland Security have been cleverly, deliberately, and methodically swapping in the anti-government label for terrorist. Without ever really defining what anti-government means, they both officially state that anti-government Americans are now the biggest threat in the war on terror. A Fusion Center in Arkansas, which coordinates anti-terror activity between the DHS and local law enforcement, recently announced that they dont spy on all Americans without a warrant, just the ones on the anti-government list. How comforting, since the label is conveniently broad enough that potentially anyone who complains about the government, a policy, or a politician could be on the anti-government watch list. This is nearly anyone whos even remotely paying attention by the way. And it seems these poor parents in the story above made it to this dreaded list. Now they have been pushed to extreme measures by a ridiculously intrusive government that would have your kids, too, if they caught you with weed at an anti-prohibition rally. I dont know about you, but Im not sure I would have the willpower not to tie up the custodian and kidnap my own children if I was an actor in this made-for-TV movie. Im radically opposed to the policy that led to these children being stripped from their parents, which must make me anti-government. Im disgusted that marijuana, a perfectly safe and helpful plant, remains illegal while alcohol freely flows. Strike two for being anti-government. And I despise that my own government spies on me, suppresses my free speech rights, and lumps me in with violent extremists. Strike three. Add me to your list. Ill see you at the next rally.

2	BREAKING: Trump Drops Bombshell, Shocks Supporters Everywhere As Donald Trumps campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway played an important role in securing his victory over Hillary Clinton. Now, it appears Trump is prepared to reward her dedication in a major way. In an interview on Fox News, Conway revealed that she has been offered a big position in the Trump administration. On Tuesday, host Sean Hannity asked Conway to comment on Gov. Mitt Romneys involvement in the cabinet and asked whether she would be playing a role in the White House. Can you comment on both of those things? Hannity asked. Because a lot of people think you deserve a big position, like me. Well, thank you, thats very kind, Conway replied. Ive been offered a big position. But Sean, the fact is that Im here to support the President-elect and the vice President-elect, both men whom I know and admire greatly, however they need me right now in the transition. I told them as recently as an hour ago, Dont worry about me, all of that will come together. Conway joined the Trump campaign in August, and became the first woman to lead a successful U.S. presidential campaign. Many believe she is a strong candidate for the position of White House press secretary. But in terms of Governor Romney, I think the secretary of state position is such that, and all the Cabinet positions, you have to be qualified and capable, number one, Conway commented. Number two, you have to be loyal to what President-elect Trump has said his vision of the world and his agenda is for the first 100 days or so. Hannity then reminded Conway of Romneys past words about Trump during the campaign, when he called Trump a huckster. I mean, remember that speech he gave, it was horrible, just awful, Hannity commented. Well, I just want to say generally, apart from Governor Romney, that there were a lot of NeverTrumpers who were Never Trump up until the last moment, Conway replied. Go read their Twitter feeds. Go pull the tape of what they were saying on TV cameras and in print in different places. She continued, They didnt think he would win and they wanted to pile on. Instead of helping the nominee of their party they piled on. And in terms of a diverse Cabinet, Im all for diversity but I think maybe one NeverTrumper is enough, so lets not get two, three, five in there. That would be my polite suggestion. Conway went on to confirm that there are a number of candidates in line for the position Romney is being considered for. She also discussed redefining the role of Secretary of State after Clinton and Kerry. You dont need to go fly around the world to be an effective Secretary of State. Kissinger and Schultz, they stuck closer to home serving the president, Conway added. That would be my model. What do you think? Should Conway play a role in the Trump Administration? 
1	CHICAGOJohn Brinker, a New York technological consultant trapped in the O'Hare International Airport for two hours Monday, struggled to communicate with fellow travelers, none of whom spoke business. 'Should Mynex reach efficient levels, their high-volume production of microanalyzers will offset tariff and transportation costs and place Sysmet in a competitive position against local producers and distributors,' Brinker said to a vacationing English speaker from Boise, ID who shrugged apologetically. 'A 25 percent growth rate is the motivation for manufacturing in the NICs.' Brinker was later seen blinking uncomprehendingly at a bus-stop sign while awaiting his company limousine. 
3	An Experiment in Mind-Controlled AssassinationNicholas West The video below presents an interesting experiment involving involving techniques that might have been used upon those believed to have been actual government-designed, mind-controlled killers, such as Robert Kennedys killer Sirhan Sirhan. As you will see, the evidence appears to be sufficient enough to continue exploring the very real possibility that the lone nuts we have seen paraded over the decades have been part of a sinister plan to create patsies that can be used to further various agendas of wider social control. In the wake of recent events such as The Batman Shooter James Holmes and the documented FBI false flag patsies employed to further the War on Terror, it would be wise to keep an open mind about what dark science in collusion with tyrannical government has been working on, and where those who have been funding such experimentation are aiming to lead us.

3	Colorado Cannabis Industry Contributes More to Economy Than All Other Industries: ReportBy Justin Gardner Using a new Marijuana Impact Model they say is the first to accurately characterize how this industry impacts the overall state economy, the researchers confirmed the astounding positive impact that legalization has brought upon Colorado. Legal cannabis activities generated an output of $2.39 billion in 2015, with almost $1 billion in sales for the year. The sales represent a 42.4 percent increase from the previous year, translating into a staggering 112 metric tons of buds and 132 metric tons of flower-equivalent products (edibles, concentrates, etc.). Cannabis now ranks number six in terms of product sales, following closely behind cigarette sales. It beats gold mining by a large margin, and even performing arts and sports venues as well as all non-grain crop farming. However, the real impact is seen when put in terms of output and employment per dollar spent, where spending in the cannabis industry outperforms all private industries in Colorado including coal and other mining, oil and gas, casinos, business services, general manufacturing and retail trade (incl. alcohol). Each dollar spent on retail cannabis generates $2.40 in state output, while cannabis manufacturing follows with $2.34 and cannabis cultivation comes in at a close $2.13. Combining the three, cannabis is generating far more than any other entity, including federal government spending. Much of this has to do with the fact that the Colorado cannabis industry operates almost entirely within the state, due to continuing prohibition in other states. There is equally impressive news in the jobs sector, where legal cannabis created more than 18,000 jobs in a year. Legalization of marijuana created 18,005 fulltime equivalent (FTE) jobs in 2015. Among those jobs, 12,591 were employees directly involved with the marijuana business either in stores and dispensaries, cultivations, or infused product manufacturing operations. The remaining 5,414 full-time equivalent positions were generated by intermediate input purchases made by the cannabis industry for general business goods and services, and through general spending by marijuana industry employees and proprietors. Security guards comprise a significant portion of these indirect jobs, due in large part to the fact that the industry is still being forced to operate on a cash basis because of asinine banking prohibitions by the federal government and the Federal Reserve. This isnt stopping entrepreneurs and other productive individuals from taking advantage of the new, wildly popular market. Legal cannabis is having profound effects in many other industries, including commercial real estate, construction, and a raft of business services. The cannabis industry itself is growing at a faster pace than any other sector, at an astonishing 42.4 percent. Colorados general economic growth is at 3.5 percent and the U.S. average is 1.75 percent. The growth analysis found a very interesting result that supports a primary argument for ending prohibition. 36.2 percent of the economic growth was the result of the disappearance of the black market. When people are free to indulge in the personal behavior of ingesting a substance as they can with alcohol they will naturally choose to do so through the legal market, even if it means having to pay exorbitant taxes. And Colorado is gladly raking in this tax revenue. In 2015, marijuana taxes were the second largest revenue source among excise products in the state (e.g., tobacco, alcohol, and gaming). Combined marijuana excise and sales tax revenues were $63.4 million in 2014, and $121.2 million in 2015. 5 For 2015, they were 14 percent larger than casino/gaming revenues, 6 about 5 percent less than lottery revenues, and almost three times larger than alcohol revenues. The huge increase in tax revenue is primarily caused by the rapid increase in recreational use sales since legalization in 2014, and the fact that recreational products are taxed at a much higher rate than medical cannabis products. Interestingly, the report noted that a significant portion of the cannabis industry growth is coming from visitors who go to Colorado on cannabis vacations, rather than some other reason like skiing or hiking. This visitor demand segment is poised to grow from 14 metric tons in 2015, to 55.1 metric tons by 2020, based upon these new, sole-purpose visitors choosing Colorado as a marijuana destination. If there is one negative aspect to the report, it is that small cannabusinesses are struggling to stay alive as the industry becomes dominated by larger companies. While some of this is the natural result of competition, it appears that many of them are being regulated out of business by the state. Private industry owners purport that consolidation is not being caused purely by price competition, but instead by high compliance costs. For example, the owner of one of Colorados largest retailers recently stated that many small operations are unable to properly comply with the states complex regulations, leading them to exit the market. There lies the hidden barb of legalization. Theres no question that ending prohibition is the right thing to do, but government tends to place needless, cumbersome burdens on free enterprise which favors larger conglomerates and smothers the little guy. This ultimately leads to less competition and the tendency for monopolies to develop, which makes it easier for government to siphon their taxes. All in all, though, the analysis by the Marijuana Policy Group is heartening, and it shows other states how incredibly beneficial it is when people regain freedom and a new market is born. The report is especially timely, as nine states will be voting in less than a week to expand legal access to cannabis through recreational and medicinal means. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Image Credit: Pixabay.com It is interesting how that the legalization of marijuana (code for control of the market) has brought all of those cash transactions that used to be done in secret, now are controlled and taxed for more revenue for the government. Its not so much the legalization of the herb, as it is the illegalization of the unregulated distribution of one the most useful plants that grows out of the ground, for REVENUE. I graduated the eighth grade Why is the USA anti-capitalist? Answer: electing Republicans and Democrats to office instead of independent forward thinking intelligent people. Dump the two-party system vote smart instead of stupid, end the war to grow the green and watch the economy turn around in one season. Follow the Iceland example and have states generate public banks as oppose to the criminal private system now operating. Any state can print their own money and dissovle any criminal corporate charter. Nullify, nullify, nullify!!! Paul you kaint be referring to the Colorado governor Chickenlooper, ya know the one that drank from the Animas river to prove it was safe to drink, even though it had turned into yellow water, idiocracy of the ahem leaders. So Gweneth, Ive noted that you live in CO. Other than the money aspect, what overall effects have you noted with regard to people in general? Im asking about the vibe and societal effects you might have noted. TX OS, there are so many other factors. For instance the Chickenlooper refuses to do or say anything about the knock out gangs. So I stay away from the downtown Denver. 
3	LAPD launches investigation into death of woman allegedly kicked in genitals by officerMadison Ruppert, Contributor This is one of the relatively infrequent situations where the so-called dash cams in police cars have resulted in an atrocity being exposed which might otherwise never be known by the public, somewhat like the case early this year involving the beating of a 66-year-old man for no apparent reason. Unfortunately, in that case, the officer responsible was only held accountable for attempting to turn off the camera in order to cover up his actions. Thankfully, it appears that this case will result in a more thorough investigation. According to the Los Angeles Times, at least five LAPD officers are currently under investigation over the incident which occurred in South Los Angeles. Police officials confirmed that the officers stomped on her genital area in addition to the use of additional force by others to take her into custody. LAPD Commander Bob Green was contacted by the Los Angeles Times and confirmed that while one officer was attempting to get Thomas into the patrol car, a threat to kick Thomas in the genitals was issued and soon after the officer followed through on the threat. This incident, quite unfortunately, is not isolated. In fact, the case of the death of Thomas emerged just a day after LAPD Chief Charlie Beck announced he was transferring a captain from his command after a separate videotaped incident in which officers were shown slamming a handcuffed woman to the ground, according to the Times. According to CBS Los Angeles, the officers involved in the arrest of Thomas have been removed from field duty by Beck. I take all in-custody death investigations very seriously, said Beck in a statement. I am confident we will get to the truth no matter where that leads us. According to an official account released by the LAPD the day after the incident, the altercation with Thomas occurred early in the morning of July 22 after Thomas left her 3-year-old and 12-year-old children at the LAPDs Southeast Area station. According to Green, Thomas attempted to surrender custody of her children to the police because she was a drug addict and thus felt she could not care for them. Officers then began searching for Thomas and discovered her at her home, questioned her and then attempted to arrest her on suspicion of child endangerment, according to the official account. The official account then states that Thomas began actively resisting arrest and one of the officers swept her legs out from under her, bringing her to the ground. Two other officers then placed Thomas hands behind her back and handcuffed her, attempting to lead her to a patrol car. According to the official version of the story, a supervising sergeant was observing these actions. As Thomas continued to struggle, the LAPDs account states that two more officers got involved and because she was a large woman according to Green, they used what is called a hobble restraint device (essentially an adjustable strap) to immobilize her ankles and give the officers greater control. According to the official account, Thomas was then placed in the back of the police car. Unsurprisingly, this account completely leaves out the highly questionable actions, which were confirmed by Green, of a female officer at the scene. The LAPDs version of the story goes on to say that officers immediately notified paramedics of the situation although it is not certain if the officers on the scenes attempted to resuscitate Thomas. It is also unclear how much time elapsed before paramedics arrived at the scene. Regardless of the attempts to resuscitate Thomas or the time elapsed between the incident and the arrival of the paramedics, we now know that Thomas died shortly after being transported to a hospital. One witness, 55-year-old Gerald McCrary, said he was interviewed by police twice but they never mentioned that Thomas was dead. McCrarys version of events clearly paints Thomas as the aggressor since he claims that Thomas somehow broke the plastic handcuffs she was restrained with, after which she was secured with metal handcuffs. They were talking to her, asking her to calm down, that everything will be alright, McCrary said. McCrary then said that Thomas told police, My heart hurts. I cant walk anymore. He reported that two officers escorted her down the apartment complexs stairs, one on each of Thomas arms. McCrary said he eventually followed after them and saw Thomas in a patrol car shaking her head against the back seat. However, there seems to be some quite sizeable and strange gaps in McCrarys recollection of the events since the Times reports only his memory of her in the back seat of a patrol car and then after an indeterminate period of time he allegedly saw her sprawled out on the sidewalk without a blouse. Paramedics had just arrived. It is unclear if the Times is just leaving out some of his account of the events or if his memory actually has this seemingly gaping hole. McCrary happens to have a live-in caregiver, Charmaine Hood, who also said she witnessed the incident. I didnt see them try to harm her in any shape or fashion, said Hood. I seen them protect her from hurting herself. Beck stated that he is looking into if Thomas was under the influence of any substances or suffering from a medical condition which could be related to her death before passing judgment on the officers involved. The LAPD is now reportedly conducting both criminal and administrative investigations into what the officers did that day. The incident involving Jordan occurred on August 21st and began when Jordan was pulled over at a Del Taco restaurant in Tujunga, reportedly because she was holding a cell phone while driving. Jordan, standing at 5-foot 4-inches tall, exited her car and then allegedly failed to comply with officers commands to return to her vehicle. The male police officers then slammed her to the ground and placed her in handcuffs according to police. While Jordan was cuffed, she was led to the patrol car and just moments later was slammed yet again, apparently with even more force. The officer responsible was much larger than Jordan and the video appears to show the officers actually high-fiving each other after Jordan was slammed a second time and left quite clearly injured. According to Beck, Hiltner, a 34-year veteran of the LAPD, was severely deficient in his response to the incident since he failed to even notify his superiors and remove the two officers responsible from field duties. Beck said that he ordered the footage of the incident to be shown when officers begin their shifts at roll call. Hopefully the severity of these two recent incidents, as well as the relatively extensive coverage they are receiving, will spur the LAPD to actually hold these officers responsible for their actions just like any other person would be. Unfortunately, based on past precedent, Im not all too confident that this will come to pass just yet.

3	18 L.A. County Sheriffs Deputies Taken into CustodyMelissa Melton At a press conference, U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte Jr. said, The pattern of activity alleged in the obstruction of justice case shows how some members of the Sheriffs Department considered themselves to be above the law: Instead of cooperating with a federal investigation to ensure that corrupt law enforcement officers would be brought to justice, the defendants in this case are accused of taking affirmative steps designed to ensure that the federal government would not shine light on illegal conduct that violated basic constitutional rights. (source) Four grand jury indictments include charges of unjustified detainments and beatings of not only jail inmates but jail visitors as well. One victim allegedly suffered a broken arm and dislocated shoulder that left him permanently disabled. According to the allegations, some of the deputies would have others file false reports to cover up their assaults. Deputies were also charged with obstructing a federal investigation, as the FBI has been investigating excessive use of force reported in L.A. county jails since 2011. The probe apparently culminated in some of the deputies actually attempting to hide an FBI informant, falsifying records to make it appear the informant had been released before they booked the man back in under a fake name. Two sergeants also reportedly attempted to intimidate an FBI agent at her home into giving them information on the case. For example: The deputy who admitted to a relationship with a teenage girl was also fired from the Santa Clara County Sheriffs Department after he was accused of using excessive force on prisoners and harassed inmates. Even so, David McDonald said he was surprised when the L.A. County sheriffs department hired him as a jail guard. How can you put me back in the jails when I already had a problem there? McDonald told the Los Angeles Times. McDonalds problems followed him to his new job, where hes been disciplined for using physical force with an inmate. (source) Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca has not been charged with anything and has denied that the new string of arrests hint at a larger issue within his department. There is no institutional problem within the Sheriffs Department when it comes to correcting itself, he said. This pattern of what appears to be widespread, institutionalized corruption falls in line with a report released by The National Institute of Ethics predicting that bad hiring practices at law enforcement agencies across the country starting in the 90s were spelling out the nations doom by giving uniforms to shoddy applicants who would have never been allowed to be cops even a decade earlier.

2	BREAKING: Trump Children Make Heart Breaking Announcement... Please Send Your Prayers In the past few months, the mainstream media has invested a significant amount of energy making Donald Trump and his family look as corrupt as possible. They have relentlessly targeted both the President-elect and his children. Now its being revealed that Eric Trump and his wife Lara have donated a remarkable $20 million to help sick children. The donations were made to St. Jude Childrens Hospital, an organization devoted to helping children with rare or incurable diseases. Eric Trump recently described St. Judes as national treasure. In a recently released video, Eric was visibly moved when he visited the hospital and saw all the incredible work that was being done. He decided he had to be involved in a worthy cause. Eric told reporters he was proud to be a part of such an important organization. With healthy children of his own, Eric said he strives to help others less fortunatein this case, he is determined to help find a solution for pediatric cancer. This just goes to show the type of children that Donald Trump has raised. The Trump family is caring, smart, and humblenot matter what the mainstream media will try to tell you. What do you think? Do you support the Trump family? 
2	Mayor Vows To Continue Burkini Ban, If You Dont Want To Live The Way We Do, Dont Come Eight years ago, the French targeted Brigitte Bardot for offending Islam. She has been on trial five time for insulting Muslims and inciting racial hatred. I am fed up with being under the thumb of this population which is destroying us, destroying our country, Bardot wrote. The comment, though controversial, was pretty accurate. Frances death toll has been steadily rising at the hand of Islamic terrorism. This month, France has come under fire for their burkini ban, but many believe this is a step in the right direction. Now, Daniel Greenfield has come forward to defend the ban. His piece is worth reading: The media has found its latest civil rights cause. Its not the plight of Christians in Muslim countries who are being blocked from coming here as refugees because Obamas refugee policy favors Muslims. Obama brought over 2,000 Syrians here in July. Only 15 of them were Christians. 
1	With the Affordable Care Act now making it possible for a greater number of Americans to purchase medical coverage, the nation looked back this week and fondly recalled a simpler time when its health care system was broken beyond any hope of repair. Describing a more innocent period in the countrys historybefore opponents of the act temporarily shut down the government, and before the disastrous rollout of the new insurance exchanges led to widespread public exasperationcitizens shared with reporters their warm memories of what they called a bygone golden era. Back then, if you couldnt afford health insurance and got really sick, you went bankrupt, plain and simple, said Dominique Otis, a Modesto, CA mother of three. They didnt have this whole mess of lower-cost options, or all these subsidies you might or might not qualify for based on your income. People didnt have to deal with any of those headaches. They just went ahead and died of preventable causes. Those were the good old days, ya know? she added with a sigh. According to nostalgic sources, there was a time when Americans who lost their jobs and the benefits that came with them simply went without insurance, and that was that. During this halcyon age there was reportedly no way anyone who was out of work could afford health care, and if people had a serious preexisting condition, they knew for certain they would never again qualify for decent coverage. Harkening back to that less complicated past, citizens noted, for example, how parents who had no way to pay for their newborn babys much-needed surgery never even bothered getting their hopes up, but simply accepted that their child would never have a first birthday party. As they spoke with reporters, many Americans reminisced about the comfort they once took in the predictable dysfunction of this status quo. When I had esophageal cancer and needed $180,000 worth of treatments not covered by my health plan, I knew immediately Id lose my house, said 58-year-old Tobias Czwerda of Braintree, MA, who smiled as he flipped through snapshots of the Christmas he and his family spent in a homeless shelter. Yes, sir, things were simpler then. You knew in advance that no matter how much you argued with your insurance company, in the end it would always come down to the same two options: pay or die. Call me old-fashioned, but there was something reassuring in that, he added. In a Gallup poll conducted this month, 72 percent of respondents agreed that even though the health care system had consistently screwed them over in the old days, at least they had known exactly where they stood. In addition, 65 percent said that while the most expensive illnesses were effectively a death sentence back then, there had been a certain peace of mind in knowing that if you ever got that sick, you would soon be gone and not have to worry about the hospital bills. Furthermore, 89 percent of Americans confirmed they had taken some small solace in the fact that if they needed money for a life-saving operation, they could always tape a photocopied image of themselves to a collection jar, place it in a local supermarket checkout line, and hope for the best. Remember when you couldnt afford to see a doctor and so you just waited and waited and waited until you absolutely couldnt wait any longer, and then you went to the emergency room, where they did too little too late and charged you tens of thousands of dollars for it? Waukesha, WI resident Keith Donaldson said. I guess those days are gone forever. Except for the tens of millions of Americans who will remain uninsured even under Obamacare, of course, he continued. Theyre still fucked. 
1	With hundreds of thousands of onlookers assembled on the National Mall to celebrate Monday's inauguration, defeated Republican candidate Mitt Romney reportedly rushed out onto the stage to make one last frantic bid for the presidency. 'My fellow Americans, I come to you at this late hour to plead with you to reconsider my candidacy for president of this great nation,' a panting Romney said as multiple Secret Service agents attempted to physically drag the former Massachusetts governor away from the podium. 'Please, if you'll just give me a second chanceWait! No! Get your hands off me!

1	Two weeks into the new school year, North Platte High School janitor Stan McCurdy's fond memories of his summer as a human being looked upon with dignity and respect have all but slipped away, sources reported Friday. 'Now it almost seems like a dream, back in June when I was treated like a real person with the same feelings, worries, and aspirations as anyone else,' the man, who for the next nine months will be addressed as 'McDirty,' said as he bent over to scrub a hardened chunk of feces off the wall of the boys restroom and tried to ignore the group of 14-year-olds who openly pointed at him and laughed. 'Sometimes it's hard to believe that for three solid months I was surrounded by people who would make eye contact with me, say hello, and smile. Kind smiles, toono sniggering grins. It was the briefest of experiences, but for a while there, I was Stan McCurdy, person.' McCurdy told reporters he keeps a picture of his family's Fourth of July barbecue in his locker to remind him of his time as an actual valued member of the human race. 
1	Football has a lot of confusing rules. I have been watching football for many years and I still don't understand them. What happened at that part at the end of the first half? There was that weird play and the refs made some call but I didn't understand it. At the time there was a kid outside shouting about something. There are a lot of kids at my condo development, I don't know why. I think there are more kids in the world in general. Anyway the kid was shouting and throwing what look to be a pie tin up into the branches of a tree. There was a shirt up there, I think his shirt was blown into the tree or else someone threw it up there. I told him to be quiet and then I missed them talking about the play. So what happened. Good for Auburn for winning. I thought they would have lost. No one can ever take your title away from you, although they can say Cam Newton was a cheater and your defense was garbage and you probably just got lucky and wouldn't stand a chance in a seven-game series. But you're still probably pretty happy, I guess. 
2	Welfare Couple Get Arrested After Living The Lavish Life On A Yacht According to recent reports, authorities in Florida have just arrested a Minnesota couple who have fueled a lavish lifestyle with more than $160,000 in government-funded dollars dedicated to helping the poor. Court documents allege that Andrea and Colin Chisholm fraudulently obtained food stamps, Medicaid and other benefits despite owning a $1.2 million yacht, driving a luxury vehicle, and having more than $2.5 million in various bank accounts. The Chisolms are being held in a Broward County jail. Authorities in the Bahamas recognized the couple and identified that their visas had expired. They transported the moochers back to Florida on a boat. As if that werent bad enough, the couple was reportedly posing as Scottish aristocrats. Meanwhile, the claimed residency in Minnesota to receive benefits. What do you think? Do people like this disgrace the system? What should their punishment be? 
1	At a campaign stop Monday, former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum asked a crowd assembled in the parking lot of a Hy-Vee supermarket if he was still running for president. 'America, I have only one question for you,' said Santorum, who later wondered aloud if he might be mistaking himself for former Utah governor Jon Huntsman. 'Am I, Rick Santorum, still a candidate for president of the United States? I think I am, but then again, I may have dropped out months ago because nobody really pays attention to me or cares about what I have to say. It's like I'm here but I'm not here. Anyway, just let me know if I'm still up for the nomination. Thanks!' Santorum's question has drawn comparisons to one put forth by fellow candidate Herman Cain, who in a recent speech asked his supporters why he was running for president.

1	Fussy Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy defiantly refused to stand on the nonorganic dirt in Turner Field Friday, complaining to coaches and teammates that the disgusting mixture of clay, silt, and sand was full of harmful additives and chemicals. 'Yuck, no way I'm taking even one step on that gross stuff,' said Hardy, who reportedly did not budge from his seat in the dugout. 'It's not good for you to stand around in anything but pure, natural infield dirt with USDA organic certification. All that synthetic loam, processed sediment, and artificial brown coloring will make you sick or give you foot cancer.' As of press time, J.J. Hardy had agreed to stand on several raw-cotton pads placed over the infield dirt. 
2	Famous Actor, Devout Christian Has A Message For Atheists That Is Causing National Controversy As we all know, one of the major rights set forth in the Constitution is the ability to practice the freedom of religion. The government is banned from interfering with that right, or choosing an official religion. However, it appears that atheists have decided to take this notion to extremes, attacking displays of religious belief wherever possible. Most recently, they demanded that a small town high school football program stop praying before games. They attacked one Governor for tweeting a Bible verse. And they have tried to have the phrase In God We Trust almost completely eliminated from use. Now, actor Kevin Sorbo has decided to speak out against the atheists, and the abnormal effort they put in to having religion almost completely removed from the public. Theyre offended by something they dont believe in, Sorbo claimed. Well it offends about 90 percent of people of the country that they have to take nativity scenes down, but apparently, the majority doesnt have a voice in this country anymore. What do you think? Do you agree with Sorbo? Have atheist organizations gone completely overboard? 
3	European meeting to be held to raise awareness of the eugenic current of European societyMadison Ruppert, Contributor Population control has become a major issue in recent years due to major fears surrounding a growing world population especially amongst some of the most impoverished nations, as evidenced by a UK-funded program in India. Currently, the highest court in Europe is considering a complaint from a woman who claims that she was not given a prenatal screening which would have revealed her daughters Down syndrome and thus allow her to choose to abort her child. This Thursday the roundtable discussion hosted by PACE will be held with European associations of individuals with Down syndrome in response to the case currently being considered by the European Court of Human Rights. There have been many heated statements on the subject, with some saying that the real topic surrounds how European society defines humanity. Thus, the campaign Stop Eugenics Now has been created, along with a declaration entitled Eugenics is not a human right. The case this campaign is speaking out against involves a woman from Latvia who gave birth to her daughter in June of 2002, just to find out she had Down syndrome. One of the groups participating in the case, the European Center for Law and Justice (ECLJ) which is associated with the American Center for Law and Justice is also helping organize Thursdays meeting. In addition, the ECLJ is acting as an interviewer in the court case and seems to be on the more critical end of the spectrum. For instance, Gregor Puppinck, the director of the ECLJ, which based out of Stasbourg, said that the meeting to be held on Thursday is intended to raise the awareness of institutions about the eugenic current of European society. This is the first time that so many organizations, dedicated to persons with Down syndrome and disabilities, have mobilized at the European level to denounce eugenics and discrimination, he added. As evidence of the eugenic current of European society Puppinck pointed to 96% ofunborn babies diagnosed with Down syndrome being aborted, although he didnt cite a source for this statistic, nor did CNS News. Another critic, Italian legislator Luca Volonte, said that there are plans to submit a resolution to the PACE which would restate that nations are obligated toward protect people with disabilities. Under European and international law, States have an obligation to protect the life and health of every person, in particular people with disabilities, said Puppinck. In response to Kruzmanes complaint, the ECLJ submitted a written statement to the European Court of Human Rights asking, Does the Convention guarantee a right to eugenics for parents, and in particular to the procedure of prenatal screening-elimination of sick or disabled fetuses? If so, does the State have a positive obligation in this regard? People with disabilities, like other categories of people in other times, today have an obligation to demonstrate their humanity in order to enjoy the protection of human rights, Puppinck said. Faced with this, we must work, not only to humanize our view of disability, but also to rehumanize human rights, because there is a tendency to develop a very abstract and disembodied idea of man, an idea which may finally prove inhuman, as demonstrated by the consecration of a right to eugenics, Puppinck concluded.

2	Steve Harvey Kept A Secret From His Wife Of 9 Years. When He Reveals The Truth, She Breaks Down And... What Steve Harvey did for his wife of nine years on Mothers Day is so incredible, we had to share. Harvey invited his wife Marjorie Bridges for a week-long stint on his hit talk show. She thought she was there to honor mothers everywhere, but did not anticipate that her husband was about to make a moving on-air tribute he wrote and prepared for her. From the moment I saw you, when you walked into that comedy club that night, and the first thing I said to you ever was I dont know who you are, lady. But Im gonna marry you one day. Harvey goes on to explain just how much she means to him and his student, from helping their son become an A student to reigniting his passion or music, it is clear that Bridges is a remarkable mother. Steven has been very open about the fact that Marjorie is responsible for making him a better man and transforming his life. He has been married three times and has seven children. Marjorie has three children of her own. 
2	BREAKING: Police Chief Announces He Is Going To Enforce Shariah Law Upon His Citizens Over the past few years, Dearborn has become the center of Muslim America, with 40 percent of the citys population being of Arab descent. Its also become a prime example of just what can happen if Shariah Law is introduced into the United States. For the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, the Dearborn police chief just announced that he will be enforcing a curfew on all residents. The celebration requires Muslims to fast from sunrise to sunset, and Chief Ron Haddad (a Muslim himself) has sent a message to parents saying that children should not be out of the house from 10 PM to 6 AM. When we find them in curfew violation we take them home the first time, Haddad told reporters. And the second time, we give them a ticket. What do you think of Haddads rules? 
2	Trey Gowdy Rips Hillary A New One After New Information About Deleted Emails Is Exposed Trey Gowdy has never liked Hillary Clinton, but now he is pissed. Trey Gowdy revealed to Fox News that Hillary did not just innocently delete her emails, she put them through an application called Bleach Bit that ensures they can never be recovered. You dont use Bleach Bit for yoga emails, or for brides maids emails. When youre using Bleach Bit, it is something you really do not want the world to see, says Gowdy. The reporter asked Gowdy about yet another Hillary Clinton scandal. The Clinton Foundation has been under attack, yet people have been saying this is smoke but not fire. Trey responded Its arson. Its pyromania. Its not smoke. Even listening to her talk about the Clinton Foundation. I couldnt help but go back and remember the press conference she gave on her emails where every single thing she said proved to be false. He continued, Thats the interesting thing about credibility and believability, you cant just keep it in one compartment. When you are a habitual, serial liar in this facet of life, it tends to make people not believe you in other facets of life. Check out the video below. 
2	It Looks Like Obamas Face Could Be Added To Mt. Rushmore This is just ridiculous. According to recent reports, a campaign has been launched by Obama supporters to put President Barack Obamas face on Mount Rushmore. Of course, the liberal community is thrilled. According to Liberty Briefing, the idea was proposed by Obamas former debut chief-of-staff, Jim Messina. The suggestion was quickly picked up by the liberal community and soon had its own Facebook page. This is further proof the liberals are too set on idolizing Obama to realize that hes actively destroying this country. To name him among the presidents of Mount Rushmore, who have a true legacy leadership position in our country, is absurd. What do you think? Do we need to make sure this never happens? 
2	Brave KEarlier this week, K-9 Officer Jethro sacrificed his life in order to save his partner, Officer Ryan Davis. Jethro passed away on Sunday, taking 3 bullets from an armed attacker. There is no doubt in my mind that I am here because of what he did, said Davis. The man responsible was shot in the leg and is going to make a full recovery. Too bad he didnt take on to the head. Officer Davis stayed with Jethro on Saturday and Sunday while the brave K-9 fought for his life. He was a fighter, said Davis Davis described these two days as the worst of his life, worse than any he served in the Marines or on the force. This is incredibly sad, and downright disgusting. Does the suspect deserve the death penalty for killing and K-9 Officer? 
3	10 Reasons Why Obamacare Is Going to Ruin Your Medical Care and Your LifeElizabeth Lee Vliet, M.D Health insurance exchanges are the basket of qualified insurance policies that meet the new healthcare law requirements for expanded coverage. These may be set up by the states (many are refusing to do so, due to high cost and fear of bankrupting the state) or the federal government. The Exchanges are supposed to be fully operational by October 1, 2013, but it is questionable whether they will actually be in place by that deadline. The individual mandate requires that individuals purchase health insurance that meets the new, expanded federal requirements. Individuals who do not comply face a financial penalty. Individuals who fall below minimum income levels will be eligible for taxpayer-funded subsidies to buy health insurance. Selective EnforcementWhy delay one component of Obamacare and not the others? More specifically, why delay the employer mandate but not the individual mandate? To answer that question, we must first understand this fact: Obama wants a single-payer healthcare system in the US. This is not a secret: These quotes are not taken out of context. Anyone who has been paying attention knows that transitioning to a single-payer system has been Obamas and his cohorts ultimate goal all along: Here, Rep. Schakowsky is suggesting that the public option will lead to their desired goal of a single-payer healthcare system. Single-payer proponents no longer use this term, since the public has clearly and consistently opposed it. The public option has been renamed Medicaid expansion, which serves the public-relations purpose of confusing the public and avoiding calling taxpayer-funded healthcare single payer. Hacker nicely sums up the underlying goals of Obamacare: not to increase competition or patient choice, but to drive people out of private insurance as a stepping stone to a government-run, single-payer system. Stepping Stone to Single-PayerKnowingObama and his cohorts goals, the purpose behind the delay of the employer mandate seems clearer: to hurry the transition time away from employer-based health insurance and to a single-payer system. This represents a doubling of the number of workers forced to get health insurance on the exchanges. Now that businesses will not be required to offer health insurance until 2015, workers and their dependents will be eligible for taxpayer-funded subsidies to purchase health insurance on the exchanges. This will cost taxpayers an estimated $60 billion dollars in 2014 alone to cover the increased costs of subsidiesand the loss of revenue from employer penalties. This $60 billion figure is before we take into account the liar subsidies that will invariably occur now that the administration has quietly removed eligibility verification for taxpayer-funded subsidies. It is set up for disaster, much like the liar loans that helped topple the mortgage industry when people were not required to verify their income to qualify for a mortgage. Remember, by enacting the dual mandates, Obamacare ostensibly was designed to ensure that its costs were borne by businesses, not taxpayers. But when the president decided to enforce only certain portions of the healthcare law and delay others, he shifted the cost of health insurance onto the backs of taxpayers. This is all on top of the burdensome costs Obamacare has already created. Various studies have projected that private insurance premiums will rise between 20 to 60% in 2014, and some as much as 100%. How long will the private-insurance market survive with such exploding costs? People will not be able to afford such massive premium increases. That seems to be the point: drive up costs and drive everyone into the arms of government-controlled medical care. Jeff Smith from Seattle summed it up nicely in a Wall Street Journal letter on June 12: If you are denied treatment, you have no appeal of IPAB decisions; you are simply out of luck, and possibly out of life. This is a radical departure from the appeals process required for all private health insurance plans. Further, the IPAB is accountable only to President Obama, and cannot be overridden by Congress or the courts. IPAB is designed to have the final word on your health. The bottom line is that Americans are losing more and more of their medical freedom. By 2015, so many workers will be trapped in the government-run health insurance exchanges that there will be no going back to the private plans we have today. At this rate, single-payer proponents will drive private insurance companies out of business, which has been their intention all along. Americans need to become far more proactive about taking charge of their health. The healthier you are, the less vulnerable you are to our degrading healthcare system. Its also wise to consider proactively planning for medical treatment options outside the US. Dr. Vliet will share her thoughts on what Obamacare will do to medical freedom and privacyand the steps Americans can take now to preserve bothat the upcoming Casey Research Summit 3 Days with Casey, October 4-6 in Tucson, Arizona.

3	Total War in Yemen Totally Ignored by Western MediaBy Tony Cartalucci Landing at the port city of Aden on Yemens southern tip, it is reported that an armor brigade consisting of between 1,000 3,000 troops primarily from the UAE are now moving north, their ultimate destination Sanaa, the capital of Yemen. Columns of the UAEs French-built Leclerc main battle tanks were seen moving out of the port city though their numbers are difficult to establish. Reports claiming that the UAE unit is brigade-sized might indicate as many as 100 tanks involved a third of the UAEs total armored force. The bold move comes after months of frustrating failures for the two Arabian regimes. Their Yemeni proxies loyalists of the ousted president Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi have proven all but useless in fighting Houthi fighters across most of Yemen despite air superiority provided to them by their Arabian allies. And while it appears the well-equipped Arab forces are able to concentrate firepower, overwhelming Houthi fighters in pitched battles, the ability for Saudi, UAE, and Al Qaeda forces to actually hold territory they move through is questionable at best. The Roman Empire throughout much of its reign was feared as invincible. After suffering several major defeats, the veneer of invincibility began to peel and along with it crumbled inevitably their empire. Likewise, Western hegemony has been propped up by the illusion of military superiority on the battlefield. By carefully picking its battles and avoiding critical defeats, the West, and the US in particular, has maintained this illusion of military invincibility As the US moves against nations with larger, better equipped and trained armies, it has elected to use proxies to fight on its behalf. Thus, any humiliating defeat could be compartmentalized. However, by most accounts the war in Yemen is not only a proxy war between Iran and the Persian Gulf monarchies, it is one of several such conflicts raging regionally that constitutes a wider proxy war between the US and its regional allies on one side, and Iran, Syria, Russia, and even China on the other. With the presence of Western main battle tanks in Yemen attempting to move north, the opportunity now presents itself to punch holes through this illusion of Western invincibility. Yemen as the graveyard for an alleged brigade of French-built Leclerc main battle tanks would be one such hole. It would also set the UAEs extraterritorial military ambitions back, if not overturn them entirely, and finally, would leave whatever fighting was left in Yemen to the Saudis who have thus far proven incompetent. Perhaps this is one of the many reasons the Western media has decided not to cover the events unfolding in Yemen. One might ask how in the context of international law it is possible for unelected absolute autocracies like Saudi Arabia and the UAE to intervene militarily in Yemen with naval blockades, aerial bombardments, and now an overt ground invasion including armor columns to restore an ousted regime. This is done with seemingly little concern from the United Nations and with the enthusiastic support both politically and militarily of the United States. The answer to this question becomes more confounding still when considering Western condemnation of Russia for any attempt to support or defend the ousted government of Ukraine, a nation now overrun by NATO-backed Neo-Nazi militias who in turn are backing a criminal regime in Kiev which includes foreigners assigned to cabinet positions and even as governors. Saudi and UAE military aggression in Yemen makes it increasingly difficult for the West to maintain the illusion of moral superiority regarding Ukraine. Russias relative restraint when compared to US-backed aggression on the Arabian Peninsula exposes once again the pervasive hypocrisy consuming Western legitimacy. This may be yet another reason the Western media refuses to cover the events unfolding in Yemen. After NATOs attempt to invoke the responsibility to protect (R2P) as justification for the destruction of Libya, it became clear that NATO was merely hiding behind the principles of humanitarian concern, not upholding them. And while it may be difficult to believe, there are still those across the Western media and policy think-tanks attempting to use R2P to justify further military aggression against nations like Syria. However, R2P is conveniently absent amid what little talk of Yemen that does take place in the Western media. US-backed blockades and months of aerial bombardments have tipped Yemen toward a humanitarian catastrophe. Not only does both the UN and the West fail to demand an end to the bombings and blockades, the West has continued to underwrite Saudi Arabia and the UAEs military adventure in Yemen. The carnage and injustice visited upon Yemen serves as yet another stark example of how the West and its institutions, including the United Nations, are the greatest dangers to global peace and stability, using the pretext of defending such ideals as a means to instead undo them. Considering this, we discover yet another potential reason the Western medias coverage of Yemen is muted. It remains to be seen how the Houthi fighters react to the ground invasion of Yemen by Emirati troops. Dealing severe losses to the UAEs armor while continuing to weather aerial bombardment may see the stalling or even the withdrawal of this latest incursion. Not unlike the 2006 Lebanon War where Hezbollah fighters expertly used terrain to negate Israeli advantages in airpower and armor, forcing an early end to the fighting, the Houthis may yet answer this latest move by US-backed proxies operating in Yemen. Perhaps this possibility above all, is why the Western media would rather the general public knew little of what was going on in Yemen. It would represent yet another conventional Western-equipped proxy army defeated by irregular forces in yet another failed campaign fought in the interests of Wall Street and Washington. While the Western media refuses to cover the events unfolding in Yemen with the attention and honesty they deserve, the conflict is nonetheless pivotal, and may determine the outcome of other proxy wars raging across the Middle East and North Africa, and even beyond.

1	Randall Konerko, a 39-year-old database administrator looking for a new job in the field, was relieved to learn Monday that a letter of recommendation from his former employer makes no reference to the Dec. 11 balls-copying incident that led to his dismissal. 'Whew, that's a relief,' said Konerko after an interview with Luminant Worldwide. 'I was sure Mr. Alland would mention that whole thing, but, mercifully, he didn't.' Konerko has made a promise to himself never to engage in testicular Xeroxing, even if it's 2 a.m. and the office seems empty.

Hey, hows it going? said the indifferent 32-year-old elder brother as he dutifully cycled through a short list of generic topics of conversation with his equally detached 29-year-old sister with whom he shares no mutual interests and little affection. Mom said you were starting a new job. Do you like it? At press time, the siblings were explaining to each other how busy they both were, but this was nice and they should definitely talk again soon. 
3	Why Labeling Websites As Russian Propaganda is DangerousBy Vin Armani Read selfnews Post Admits To Being Russian Propaganda Vin Armani is the host of The Vin Armani Show on selfnews Post, TV Star of Gigolos on Showtime, Author, DJ, and Agorist Entrepreneur. Follow Vin on Twitter and subscribe on YouTube. Get the weekly podcast on iTunes or Stitcher. Thanks for the alternative reportage. The problem with fake news is who gets to be the authority making the accusations. The truth is that what is labeled news is actually old by the time the people on the street become aware of it. The other problem with trying to be an activist like myself in reacting to the wrongs and trying to right them is that I am working in an environment in which I am disenfranchised. The media in general is not solution orientated, it is just reportage. Take Fukushima for example we are years down the road and covered several times over with the radiation, the fact that we know from the media that we are receiving lies about the problem of contamination does nothing to help me get the radioactivity out of my body. The main stream media is scripted and edited by the corporate intelligence agency. The alternative media is a crap shoot as far as discerning who is giving credible reportage especially if the source has a political agenda on top of their reportage eg. Prison Planet. In my estimation PP is not unbiased if it intends to back political candidates like Trump. I no longer have faith in PP because it lost its critical edge. To me to be truly alternative the reportage has to be without a claim for backing politicians whose main function is to make capitalism look good. Google is paying 97$ per hour! Work for few hours and have longer with friends family! !mj160d: Eunuch News, eh? The A.P. needs a backup plan should the main internet search engines, owned by the establishment, deny the public access to this site. Censorship is likely coming in some form and is already here on sites such as FB, Twits and Reddit. I see Riveros site Whats Really Happening has posted where they can be found on line if they are taken down or become inaccessible through the usual ways such as google etc.. If one looks at what happened to James Tracys Memory Hole Blog the message becomes as clear as the writing on the wall. 
3	Western Military Monitors Turn Up in Eastern UkraineTony Cartalucci The observers who include four Germans and citizens of the Czech Republic, Denmark, Poland and Sweden were sent under the Vienna Document on military transparency and included no OSCE monitors, according to the Vienna-based organization. They were accompanied by Ukrainian military officers. That the team members, all drawn from NATO member states, are not actual OSCE monitors, raises doubts over the legitimacy of their mission. NATO has decisively sided with the unelected regime currently occupying Kiev. The objectivity therefore of monitors drawn from NATO states presents an immense conflict of interest. Just as other international organizations, including the United Nations itself, are used by the West as cover for covert extraterritorial operations, it appears that the OSCE Vienna Document on military transparency has been abused in an effort to support Kievs unelected regime and its on going armed operations in the east of Ukraine. While the West attempts to use the capture of these so-called international monitors to their rhetorical advantage, the propaganda value is minimal. Had these been real monitors carrying out an objective assessment within the mandate of the Vienna Document on military transparency, the backlash from across the West would have been enormous. It is clear, however, that these monitors were most likely using the Vienna Document as cover for a NATO intelligence assessment. Leading the rather muted propaganda campaign is the US State Departments Voice of America, which stated in their article, Captured European Monitors in Ukraine say They are Well, that: With armed rebels watching as they spoke, the leader of the monitors from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, German Colonel Axel Schneider, assured reporters in Slovyansk they were in good health. Voice of Americas rhetoric, calling NATO officers European monitors, strains credibility. Calling anti-fascist eastern Ukrainians pro-Russia insurgents also presents a factual discrepancy an insurgent being defined as a person who fights against an established government or authority, and the regime currently occupying Kiev being neither an established government nor an authority. One must wonder how the Western media would react had it been Russian military monitors captured in Kiev claiming they were operating under the auspices of the OSCE Vienna Document. Irrevocable Damage to Wests International Institutions Just as the West has done with institutions and organizations like the United Nations in nations like Iraq, Libya, and Syria, their use of the OSCE as cover for military officers belonging to the overtly biased NATO alliance undermines utterly any perceived impartiality or objectivity of the OSCEs mission in Ukraine, or overall. The abuse of these so-called international institutions openly being leveraged by Western special interests endangers any legitimate work taking place within them, thus hindering possible avenues to peacefully resolve the current conflict in Ukraine. And even as the captured Western officers themselves attempt to defuse tensions regarding their presence in eastern Ukraine and their subsequent capture, the West has mobilized its media machine to further raise tensions and the possibility of a less than peaceful resolution. Reports from Reuters and updates from the US State Departments Voice of America continue to portray the captured NATO officers as monitors, with Reuters in an article titled, Open arms and smile fail to protect German colonel in Ukraine, claiming: The irrelevant side-note is meant to humanize the NATO officers and further demonize their captors. Reuters fails to define just what Schneider and his team were doing in eastern Ukraine, claiming only that they were doing verification work. The opacity of the mission and the refusal of the respective governments from which the teams members are drawn, to explain their presence and objectives in Ukraine, only further adds to suspicions that they were indeed only using the OSCE as cover for a more insidious agenda. A genuine OSCE monitoring mission to Ukraine, considering the broad membership of the OSCEwhich includes the Russian Federation, might include members from nations backing not only the unelected regime in Kiev, but also those backing anti-fascist Ukrainians in the eastern and southern regions of the country. That all the team members for the mission originated from NATO countries, many of which have in fact arrayed military assets against both eastern Ukrainians and neighboring Russia in recent weeks, indicates not only an immense conflict of interest, but obvious resulting improprieties. And while the OSCE does indeed include the Russian Federation within its membership, its partnership with NATO appears to take precedence. On the OSCEs official website,a page describing its partnership with NATOstates: Of NATOs military intervention in Kosovo it would claim: It would stand to reason that the OSCEs inclusion of Russia among its membership is a symbolic gesture, and the organization itself is but another appendage of NATO and therefore an extension of its regional and global agenda. It is, if anything, reprising its role as facilitator of NATO vis--vis Russia, just as it had done in Kosovo.

Hint: It doesnt look good. First and foremost, Sanders is firmly against American capitalism. It is immoral and wrong that the top 1/10 of 1% in this country own almost as much wealth as the bottom 90%, Sanders claimed during the debate. We should look at countries like Denmark, Sweden and Norway, he continued. What do you think? Do we need a leader for AMERICA who believes in American values? 
1	Expressing their frustration with the casting for the new Fantastic Four film, comic book fans across the country were reportedly adamant Monday that the superhero the Human Torch should be played by an actor who is actually engulfed in flames. They should have stayed true to the original comics and selected an actor whose entire body is on fire, said longtime Fantastic Four fan Barry Reich, criticizing filmmakers for casting Michael B. Jordan, who, unlike the comic book version of the Human Torch, is not enveloped from head to toe in flames. Hollywood screwed up big time. It makes no sense for Susan Storms younger brother, Johnny, to be played by a non-ignited man. Since 1963, the Human Torch has always been able to generate powerful streams of flames and fireballs, and to ignore that is insulting to Fantastic Four creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Comic book fans, however, reportedly commended Fantastic Four director Josh Tranks bold choice to cast a hyper-intelligent actor with multiple scientific doctorates and an elastic body as Mister Fantastic. 
2	BREAKING: Hosts Of ClintonThe general election debates are getting closer each day, and the independent Commission on Presidential Debates has informed hosting venues on notice that flexibility is required with their stage setup. The directive from the commission is intended to ensure the venues are prepared to place a third lectern on the stage for the debates, just in case a third party candidate passed the required threshold to be included in the event. With (former Gov.) Gary Johnson polling in some places more than double digits, they might have, some of our production people may have said, Just in case, you need to plan out what that might look like, Mike McCurry, co-chair of the Commission on Presidential Debates and former Bill Clinton White House press secretary, told reporters. We wont know the number of invitations we extend until mid-September. In order for a third-party candidate to be included in the debates, he or she must appear on the ballot in enough states to have a mathematical chance at winning the presidency. They are also required to be polling at or above 15 percent in an average of five national polls. Currently, Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson is polling around 9 percent, and Green Party nominee Jill Stein is sitting at round 4 percent. The co-chair of the commission, Frank Fahrenkopf, has suggested the commission may be flexible if one of them gets close to the 15-percent cutoff point. If someone came in and lets say he was at 14.5 percent and the margin of error in five polls was 3 points, we are going to have to sit down and look at it, Fahrenkopf said. But right now that person would not be included. What do you think of these reports? 
2	Welfare Woman, Too Fat To Work, Turns Down Weight Loss Surgery For Infuriating Reason According to recent reports, Jodie Sinclair, a 28-year-old woman weighing nearly 400 pounds, brought in over $112,000 last year in benefits because shes too fat to work. Sinclair reportedly lives off of disability benefits, in a rent-free home in England. Sinclair claims that she has been unable to maintain a job because she is overweight. Never mind that she has been offered government-funded weight loss surgery, which she refused. Im not going under the knife for anyone because I dont think Im doing anything wrong, Sinclair told reporters. Doctors keep on shouting at me to lose weight but I dont even eat that much. My cooked breakfasts are my treat. My mum would come over every day and we would have sausage, bacon, beans and toast but the dietician had a go at me for that. She said whats the point in me coming here if you wont try? so I told her not to come again. I wasnt going to give up my breakfasts. Meanwhile, Jodie continues to live off benefits, despite pressing recommendations from her doctors. None of them understand that I have a condition thats make me this weight, Sinclair told reports. They dont believe me that I dont eat too much so I had to get my own mobility scooterthe NHS wouldnt provide one. My boyfriend bought it for me so I can get out. What do you think of Jodies attitude? Is she a prime example of what is wrong with the benefits system? 
3	Shielding the People From Independent JournalismDevon Douglas-Bowers A Shield Law is a law which provides statutory protection for the reporters privilege legal rules which protect journalists against the government requiring them to reveal confidential sources or other information.[1] Generally, this is a positive occurrence as journalists are much more able to conduct their work and bring information to public light if they do not need to worry about having to reveal their sources. While Shield Laws have occurred in the past, they have only been on the state level. This currently proposed Shield Law is the first one to reach the federal level and the main goal is to protect journalists from having to reveal confidential sources in federal cases.[2] However, there are certain instances in which journalists will have to reveal sources, such as (1) The party seeking disclosure has exhausted all reasonable alternative sources of the information; (2) The requested information is essential to resolving the matter; (3) Disclosure of the requested information would not be contrary to the public interest; and (4) In criminal cases, if the requesting party is the federal government, the government must show that there are reasonable grounds to believe that a crime has occurred.[3] While overall it may seem like a good bill, there are a number of problems with this Shield Law, officially known as the Free Flow of Information Act of 2013. For starters, this law would allow the government to seize reporters records without notifying them for 45 days a period of time that could be renewed by a judge 45 additional days if investigators convince a judge pre-notification would pose a clear and substantial threat to the integrity of a criminal investigation.[4] This power of seizing records without notifying reporters was used most recently in regards to the Associated Press, when the federal government seized their phone records in May of last year, with the government only saying that they were needed for investigation of an unspecified criminal matter.[5] Oh yes! What transparency and accountability! Infringing upon the First Amendment rights of reporters and then only giving what is essentially a BS, purposefully vague explanation. Yet in this current bill, not only can the government continue to engage in the above behavior, but they are also defining who is and who is not a journalist. Initially, the bill defined a journalist as a person who has a primary intent to investigate events and procure material in order to inform the public by regularly gathering information through interviews and observations and added the stipulation that The person also must intend to report on the news at the start of obtaining any protected information and must plan to publish that news.[9] This seems to be rather fine as it would include mainstream and independent journalists. However, the situation became problematic when in September 2013, an amendment to the bill was proposed that- lets just say- more clearly defined who and who was not a journalist. Kevin Gostolza of Firedoglake discussed this amendment last year and it would be appropriate to quote him now at some length: Now, lets begin to take those paragraphs apart and analyze them, bit by bit. In the first paragraph, the law defines a journalist as an employee, independent contractor, or agent of an entity or service that disseminates news or information and then goes on to define the many mediums by which the news can be disseminated. Some of this language seems to be problematic. What exactly do they mean by independent contractor? Do they mean a freelancer? Do they mean someone like myself who researches and writes independently? In the next paragraph, it adds a caveat to the definition of journalist, stating that the individual in question must also have the primary intent to investigate events and procure material in order to disseminate to the public news or information concerning local, national, or international events or other matters of public interest. Well, how do you prove that this is ones primary intent? Do you just have to state as such? And what do they even mean by the term primary intent? Isnt the main goal of most if not all journalists to disseminate news to the public? The final paragraph offers an alternative if one is not with a mainstream source by stating that they are covered if they had experience in journalism and had substantially contributed, as an author, editor, photographer, or producer, to a significant number of articles, stories, programs, or publications in the past twenty years. Does this mean that contributing to sites such as Truthout and Alternet could qualify one as a journalist under this law? Apparently, in an earlier version of the bill, the law defined journalists so narrowly that it excludes bloggers, citizen reporters and even some freelancers,[11] and thus the amendment was added. However, this amendment seems to leave more questions than answers. In addition to this, many supporters of this bill have been using some rather bellicose language. For example, Senator Dianne Feinstein has been quoted as saying that real journalists draw salaries[12] and stating that the First Amendment is a privilege,[13] which is rather worrying. On top of all these other problems, former U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey, has written that this bill would give judges too much power to decide on their own whether the disclosure of the information would be contrary to the public interest and thus not protected.[14] This means the issue of deciding whether or not information that is being withheld by journalists, say, sources for example, violates the public interest in the form of national security would be decided by judges. If the judges do decide that the information being withheld does violate the public interest, then the journalist would be forced to hand over that information. While judges do from time to time uphold the rights of the people, they seem to have often sided with the national security state as of recent. For example in 2010, a federal appeals court ruled that former prisoners of the C.I.A. could not sue over their alleged torture in overseas prisons because such a lawsuit might expose secret government information,[15] last year, the US Supreme Court decided to allow the National Security Agencys surveillance of domestic telephone communication records to continue.[16] This year it was reported that the US Supreme Court rejected [the Center for Constitutional Rights] lawsuit against Bush-era warrantless surveillance, which guarantees that the federal courts will never address a fundamental question: Was the warrantless surveillance program the NSA carried out on President Bushs orders legal?[17] Thus, it seems that the situation of on whose side the courts would rule in a case regarding national security is rather iffy. This is made all the more strenuous by the fact that if a case were to make it up all the way to the Supreme Court and they ruled in favor of the US government, it has the potential to set a precedent which could only be overturned by an entirely new Supreme Court case. As of now, there are conflicting reports about whether or not Chuck Shumer (D.-N.Y.) has the votes to pass the bill in the Senate, with Schumer saying he does and Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) saying he doesnt.[19] However, if it does pass, there is no doubt about it going into law as Obama has already voiced his support for it.[20] By essentially giving the government the power to define what a journalist is, it has the potential to hurt independent media when it is needed now more than ever. The mainstream media consistently sits on stories to please the US government. It was reported in 2006 that the New York Times made a decision to [withhold] a story about the Bush administrations program of illegal domestic spying until after the 2004 election.[21] More recently, the US media reported again and again that the Syrian government had used chemical weapons in Ghouta and that the UN report confirmed it[22], when in reality, the question is still up in the air as new information has come to light that puts the official narrative in doubt.[23] We need independent alternatives to the mainstream media like Corbett Report, Citizen Radio, and Black Agenda Report to allow people to get a glimpse behind the wall of misinformation that permeates much of the mainstream and get an idea of what is truly going on in the world. If this law gives the government the power to define who a journalist is, we may just lose that.

1	Moments after triumphantly pushing his tassel to the left side of his cap and erupting into applause with his classmates, a jubilant date rapist three rows in front of you reportedly tossed his mortarboard into the air in glee Wednesday, numerous sources confirmed. Woohoo! shouted the new graduate who sexually assaulted a sophomore female acquaintance in her dorm following a house party in November 2013, had his crime kept out of the public eye by top-ranking university authorities, and subsequently completed his college degree in the standard four years. Class of 14 rules! Yeah! At press time, sources reported that the proud alum, who has a history of forcing young women into unwanted sexual situations without their consent, was beaming as he posed for pictures with professors and college officials. 
2	Sheriff David Clarke CRUSHES Black Lives Matter, And Then Something Truly Horrible Happens Infamous Trump supporter Sheriff David Clarke has been in hot water with the black community lately after speaking out against Black Lives Matter. According to reports, the University of New Haven invited Sheriff Clarke to speak to them, but revoked the offer wen Clarke talked badly about protesters. The school had the audacity to cancel his appearance. This is just more evidence that colleges are becoming intensely politically correct. Its absurd that it has gotten to the point where a black man can not exercise his right to free speech to criticize the BLM movement. Clarke addressed the situation in an article, called Predominantly white college disinvites black man to show they care about minorities. The University is aware that some people, including current students and alumni, are upset that Sheriff David Clarkes invitation to speak at the Markle Symposium was rescinded, the college wrote in a statement. As an institution of higher learning, we fully support free speech and value the marketplace of ideas. Unfortunately, circumstances did not permit Sheriff Clarkes attendance at this years symposium, and we respect the resulting divergent reactions among the University community. 
3	Shock Report: U.S. Military Misplaced Samples of Black Plague and Other Deadly PathogensBy Mac Slavo Well dont look now, but the DoD is out warning that the army might have also mishandled samples of the black plague which isnt known to be dangerous unless you count the time it wiped out 60% of Europes entire population. Heres more from CNN: The U.S. Department of Defense is looking into possible mishandling of bubonic plague and equine encephalitis samples at its laboratories, a Pentagon spokesman said Thursday. The new inquiry is part of an investigation into the mishandling of anthrax at Department of Defense labs, Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said. The department hasnt determined whether samples containing plague bacteria and specimens of the deadly virus were shipped from its labs, Cook said. The latest investigation started after CDC inspectors found a sample of the plague in a freezer outside of a containment area on August 17 at the Edgewood Chemical Biological Center in Maryland, Cook said. Investigators are working to determine whether the sample posed an infectious threat, Cook said. Army tests found it was not infectious. Thats the scientific work thats being done at this particular time, determining exactly what happened there, and whether or not there was mislabeling, he said. Yersinia pestis, the same type of bacterium that was responsible for the plague pandemic that wiped out 60% of the European population between the 14th and 17th centuries, maintains a foothold in the United States and around the globe in rodents and the fleas that live on them. Today, the infections are treatable with antibiotics if theyre caught early enough. Since 1970, there have been anywhere from a few to a few dozen cases of plague every year in the United States, most of them occurring in Western states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Yes, only a few to a few dozen cases of plague per year, but that bubonic dearth is nothing the US military cant fix with a few mislabed samples and a FedEx account. For their part, Fred Upton (chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee) and Frank Pallone (ranking Democrat) are incredulous: Anthrax being mishandled is disconcerting enough, but now the mishandling also includes [the] plague. Via Zero Hedge Last month The Preppers Blueprint author Tess Pennington reported that the Centers for Disease Control put U.S. doctors on alert for Bubonic Plague as cases began popping up from Georgia to California. In a world where we have been told by officials that there is no threat of such a virus ever grabbing hold and wiping out our population, we wondered, how could such a thing happen in modern times? How can a plague from the Middle Ages still be killing people? We may now have our answer. You see, when you leave a deadly pathogen once responsible for killing off 60% of an entire continent in a freezer with TV dinners, there is a distinct possibility that it could be released into the wild. While we understand that the recent outbreak of Plague could have occurred as a result of natural means, an accidental or purposeful release cannot be ruled out. The government would never release a deadly pathogen on a population, unless of course you consider that this is exactly what we did when we dropped Bubonic plague infected fleas on North Korea. But theyre the enemy, so that doesnt count. Wed never kill our own people, though. Not intentionally, right? Human Experimentation An Overview on Cold War Era Programs 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. One particular experiment involved spraying thousands of unsuspecting Americans with radiological particles: It is now confirmed that during the Cold War, the United States Army conducted experiments on St. Louis, Missouri residents, which at the time they claimed were for the purposes of protecting the population. Sociologist Lisa Martino-Taylor filed multiple Freedom of Information requests and obtained documents from the US Army that confirmed her worst fears: Some 10,000 people in St. Louis had been sprayed day and night with radioactive particles in the 1950s and 60s. Keep in mind that this is not conspiracy theory. These citations are from official government documents. Though most of the experiments documented are from the Cold War era, the key takeaway is that to government scientists and military personnel we are all just guinea pigs. Whether the latest string of Bubonic Plague infections is the result of natural causes or government carelessness we may never know. What we do know is that there is a distinct possibility that the American people are actively a part of yet another experiment for the greater good.

You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com If any of these killers should accidentally get released lets hope it is at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Soon and exclusively there for justice ! Yup Displace ALL the Personnel responsible for the safety of the Samples all the way UP.There are enough, Privately run for profit, Jails. That wont happen for they wont find out who is at fault, they if they do, they will bury the info. That is what they did at NIH when someone caught committing fraud, they covered it updid not want it to hit the media for it might jeopardize Congressional funding! AS KILLARY WOULD SAY WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE Just goes to show how the American people are so ignorant, now are government is using biological warfare to kill us off. Why do you think cancer is so widespread. Its funny, Ive been telling people for years that something is in the air, causing people to die or feel tired all the time. Now its really happening. Wake up America! Nothing the DOD does shocks me any more. I doubt this was an accident. It was probably an accident that this was discovered. It was probably supposed to be sprayed all over the country with them chemtrails. Look at how OFFICIAL incompetence was highly rewarded on 9/11! And now we also have the incompetence of the Iran nuclear deal by this terrorist-loving admin and the cowardly Republican leaders who refuse to do anything to halt it! when are government officials going to be held responsible for their actions since all the regular working class are prosecuted if they screw up or do wrong but people like hillary , obama and the corrupt washington eleit get a free pass This incompetence reminds me of the dangerous pathogens (smallpox, etc) that were improperly stored in a cold room at the NIH and found several times when they were cleaning out. I worked at the NIH, and this really is no surprise; too many visiting foreign scientists (not abiding by US policy) and much fed employee turnover which leads to the incompetency. The policies of US lab requirements vs policies in other countries is not the always the same; I remember years ago that a foreign scientist disposed of radioactive material in the trash can rather than dispose correctlyreason why radiation scans/reports required every day. Both of the current incidents were in federal complexes in Edgewood and Bethesda, Maryland, under Obama administration! THE MOSTEST OF INCOMPETENCE, MAYBE OBUMMER COULD PUT KILLARY IN CHARGE OF IT-,ALAS BABYLON agencies that deal with those such things ought to be in DC or Chicago (the neighborhood of obama and bill ayers) so if they escape, no great loss Can anyone explain to me why DoD would have these pathagens? The military needs these because why? And shouldnt CDC have these instead of the military? Time to move to Idaho. Americans, know, 1 year after the fact, it fits the entire big picture of the Syrians migrating to this country, it wont be their fault , the disease will be on them and they wont even know it, the people of Syria are not vaccinated ,every one who has taken in a foreign exchange student , has to take them to get vaccinated the people in this country know that, all of your democrats know that , just like ebola, that is 7 diseases make ebola. Ben Carson has nothing to do with the incompetency and lack of security on Obamas agenda. Obama could not care less about national security and protecting the people of the US; he is more interested in dismantling and degrading the US. Where does Ben Carson fit in with Obamas disturbed agenda? Since the Muslims have infiltrated our government, there is no telling where this went. My only hope is that Obama gets the first dose of each.no one deserves it more. Smells like Valerie Jarrett, born in Iran and with muslim and communist family affiliations. does anyone with two brains cells to rub together believe for one millisecond that this rash of mistakes were by accident? just like the bankers who caused the financial collapse no one has been held accountable or will ever be. Nope, not any more than I believe it happened on 9/11. De-population agenda you said it , who has control of it , WE ARE FROM THE GOVNT AN WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU. LOL LOL LOL Misplace !! ? STOLEN. !! Military too busy banishing Christianity, and catering to nasty liberal conduct. no it is they allow potentchel people that are sleepers or terrorists in the making and those in charged not doing there job just drawing money PERIOD 
1	DETROIT (Nov. 4)The Detroit Department of Transportation announced Monday that it attempted to honor the memory of civil-rights pioneer and hometown hero Rosa Parks by naming a new downtown bus depot after her. 'We believe that the Rosa Parks Transit Center is a fitting tribute to a woman who came to epitomize courage and principle,' Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick said at the depots groundbreaking. 'Although, come to think of it, no one wants to have their name associated with a grimy bus depot, much less spend five minutes there.' A contrite City Council is expected to propose a simple statue in the downtown area after more careful consideration. 
2	Michelle Obama Picks A Fight With Melania Trump, Learns Instantly That Was A Huge Mistake Last Thursday, Donald and Melania Trump flew to the White House to meet with Barack and Michelle Obama. With the current and future First Ladies side by side, it was clear that Melania blew Michelle out of the water. Melania showed up to the White House dressed in a double-breasted black coat, a black skirt, and high-fashion Christian Louboutin pumps. She was the picture of elegance as she arrived for her private meeting with Michelle and Jill Biden. Some sources have noted that Michelle was so enraged about the fact that Trump won, she refused to appear on camera at all. Nobody will know for sure if she treated Melania with the respect she deserves. In fact, Michelle was so resistant to play nice with the Trumps the media was forced to cancel the customary photo of the two couples. The Obamas canceled a photo-op of the current and future first couples outside the south entrance of the White House, The Wall Street Journal reported. In the first visit to the White House after the 2008 election, Mr. Obama and first lady Michelle Obama posed for the cameras alongside President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush. The decision not to participate in this tradition illustrates how bitter the campaign was, particularly for Mrs. Obama who delivered some of the most emotional arguments against electing Mr. Trump. Michelles behavior is absolutely unacceptable for a first lady. Were sure Laura wasnt thrilled to be posing with the Obamas eight years ago. What do you think? Are you excited to have Michelle and her antics out of the White House once and for all? 
3	The American Dream, Brought to You by Edward BernaysBy Melissa Dykes The concept of The American Dream, what seems like a relic of the Cold War, is hammered into our heads from childhood and constantly thrown in our faces by politicians even today. Its always defined as this grand idea that the game is not in any way rigged; oh no, it is instead beat into us Americans from the time we are very little that with a little elbow grease, any of us can be anything we want to be in this country, regardless of what circumstances we find ourselves born in simply because well this is America. Its so trite, its kinda hard to even make myself type that. For clarification, heres what Wikipedia says: The American Dream is a national ethos of the United States, a set of ideals in which freedom includes the opportunity for prosperity and success, and an upward social mobility for the family and children, achieved through hard work in a society with few barriers. But these days we arent talking about basic ideas of personal success that allow people to be free and with few barriers. No one seems to remember what freedom is anymore around here anyway, and personal success has been warped into a prison sentence for most. Freedom has long ago been replaced by a prison with invisible walls. Most people today equate The Modern American Dream with the ability to receive higher education (usually by going to college) so they can get a good paying job to buy a nice big house filled with nice stuff, a fancy car, and have the ability to go on vacation once or twice a year. In other words, rising the ranks in America to achieve that dream ultimately equals consumerism, complete with lots and lots of debt. For most young people who dont have wealthy parents, what it really means is attempting to get all the scholarships you can throughout high school because otherwise you and your parents will be stuck shouldering a automatically life-killing amount of student loan debt right off the bat just to get through college. College tuition is always rising here. Americas loan debt is over 1.2 TRILLION dollars these days, and economists like to speculate all the time on whether or not this will be the next bubble to burst. So, just to get your feet in The American Dream door today, youve got to pay to play. Once these early 20-somethings graduate from college (again, many already drowning in debt), they get thoughtlessly tossed in a pool of applicants who are all just as qualified as they are to get the few measly good jobs that are left, considering that many of the jobs that people used to rely on in post-war America to fulfill that dream have been shipped off to China or Mexico or India. Our unemployment numbers are fudged because so many people who have fallen completely out of the workforce and given up looking for a job arent even counted. Nearly 100 million adults who can otherwise work simply arent in this country because they have no options. Labor force participation is at a near-40-year low. Next time you go out to eat, ask your waiter or waitress how many college degrees he or she has. Sometimes its two, but slinging plates was the only option available to make ends meet because that degree that costed tens of thousands to get are a dime a dozen to employers. And thats how many young adults begin their road to The American Dream we are still told is possible for everyone to achieve these days. Meanwhile, the wealth gap has grown so wide in this country, its a joke to even refer to it as a gap anymore. (Perhaps wealth chasm would be more appropriate.) And it isnt just here. We live in a world where just 67 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion people in the world. Its mind-blowing. Headlines like Panicked Super Rich Buying Boltholes with Private Airstrips to Escape if Poor Rise Up come out all the time. Theres something very wrong, and everyone knows it. Here in America, a mere 10 percent of Americans own 91 percent of the nations stocks and mutual funds, and those people are the same ones essentially running everything. America is admittedly an oligarchy. A new study has confirmed that, The preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy. Your opinion only matters in politics if you are in the top ten percent. Corruption is legal in America. Political influence is a commodity. The game is rigged. The rules are made up (by the elite) and the points dont matter. Meanwhile, back to the reality the rest of us face. Four out of five Americans are barely making ends meet each month. The number of people receiving food stamp benefits over 47 million is at a historic high, to the benefit of big banks like JP Morgan Chase and megacompanies like Walmart. The Middle Class has been systematically decimated. Hardly anyone is buying a house anymore; were becoming a nation of renters with Wall Street as our landlord. If the average person wanted to get that house and car and vacation, most would have to take out a loan, another loan, and a few credit cards with ridiculous interest rates no one can afford. Driving down whats left of Americas middle class streets, it is impossible not to look upon the nicely manicured lawns and wonder how much debt the people inside have taken on just to make their American Dream a (fleeting) reality. Our economy is based on indoctrinating children to unrealistic expectations and usury debt slavery and suffering. No matter how rigged the game is, children continue to be raised brainwashed with The American Dream generation after generation. Out of curiosity, and because the whole thing sounds like such a Bernaysian concept of bullshittery to begin with, I looked into where the concept of The American Dream comes from. When did it start? Who first started pulling this one on the public? According to a lesson plan for teachers on the official Library of Congress website (featuring a picture of the Statue of Liberty for extra emphasis), the American Dream was first defined in 1931 by James Truslow Adams in his book The Epic of America as that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position. (p.214-215) Wait, what? Not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely? Oh really. If that is what we are teaching kids in our public schools in America, its the exact opposite of the reality they come to understand. Why is that? Well, Edward Bernays, nephew of Sigmund Freud and father of Public Relations who literally wrote the book on propaganda and never met a government agency or megacorporation whose agenda he couldnt be paid to advance, immediately came to mind when contrasting the concept of The American Dream today against the reality We the People currently face. For a little background on Bernays, lets start with the defining statement of his 1928 book Propaganda: The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. With that, it becomes pretty obvious what role socially engineering the American masses with this concept of The American Dream would play in churning out that smoothly functioning society Bernays talked about. And as it turns out Edward Bernays hijacked The American Dream and weaponized it for the U.S. government after World War II: At the end of World War II, Harry Truman had a dilemma on his hands. The economy had come back from The Great Depression during the war and he wanted the economy to continue to grow during peace time as well. So he conferred with experts including Bernays to come up with a plan to cause it to happen. The plan the marketers created was called The American Dream. The dream involved the breadwinner (typically the man) to be working in a job that he didnt really love and to work longer and longer hours to climb the corporate ladder in order to make the money his family would need to create the high consumerism lifestyle required to keep the economy growing in peacetime. Consumers were being influenced to buy more things and companies were being encouraged to produce more products that nobody really needed in order to keep the economy going well. See where this is going, yet? Well, its going here: But no matter how many hours the man worked there still wasnt enough money to purchase all of this stuff. So naturally, consumer debt began to skyrocket. Personal credit cards emerged. Society experienced a conformance crisis during the 1950s that in actuality began the hijacking of our happiness due to manufactured consent, using the tactics ofyou guessed itEdward Bernays. The marketing version of the American Dream was a complete contradiction to the countrys original American dream, which had the pursuit of happiness as its alchemical goalpersonal freedom, social responsibility, and the common good. But the 1950s convolution that still holds America and much of the world in its grip is excessive consumerism. So excessive consumerism became the definition of happiness. And there you have it. The pursuit of happiness and freedom that was once The American Dream was transformed into a nightmare of lifelong debt slavery and filling ones life with things we dont need merely to keep the American machine going. Consider that the next time you hear the insulting phrase ooze out of another bought-and-paid for politicians mouth in one of his b.s. speeches.

The Bible tells us that the WHOLE world will be deceived by Satan. It also says that we are not fighting flesh and blood, but evil in high places. My family tells me that they dont want to hear any more doom and gloom reports and when I mention the Bible they disappear. We are seeing the great falling away spoken of in the Bible. People in the US keep thinking that the next election will change things. Excuse me, but a leopard cant change its spots. The government has sold out the people for a hundred years already and its NOT going to change now. Our churches dont teach the truth that is written in the Bible and a majority of Christians believe that they will be raptured out of here before it all hits the fan. Oh yah? Like the Christians in the Mideast that are being slaughtered by ISIS? Our government (in cahoots with the UN) is bringing in thousands of Muslim refugees and putting them in cities all over the US. Last year they brought in thousands of illegals and secretly put them all over the US. Foreign troops are training on our soil (against the Constitution) and our President has made many statements siding with Muslims over the American people. My family has tried to prepare for the inevitable financial collapse of the US, but it wont make any difference if the government declares Martial Law. People say that the government will have to take their guns from their cold dead hands and that is exactly what will happen. The Bible explicitly states that Satan will win for a SHORT time and millions will be martyred for their belief in God and the testimony of Jesus IF they wont take the mark of the beast. The persecution of Christians has already begun with these gay marriage rulings by the Supreme Court. Our Supreme Court no longer upholds the law of the land so the people have no recourse. I pray every day that God will hide my family and I away from the face of Satan (Revelation 12) during Satans reign over the world and also from all the natural disasters that are set to hit the world. Call it pessimistic or paranoid or whatever you want, but Im awake and see the signs. I believe what the Bible says over the propaganda that Satan has used to deceive the world. Our trials are just beginning! Your observations are on target. Man alone cannot turn the world from its satanic course, yet I still have a duty to my neighbor to love him/her enough to warn of the risks to both their bodies and their eternal souls. 
2	Heres The Video Obama Never Wanted Anyone To See... Lets Make It Go Viral [WATCH] For years, President Barack Obama has faced plummeting approval ratings. With videos like this one, exposing how corrupt Obama truly is, its easy to see why he is not Americas favorite. The footage was released as Obama has been launching his last-ditch effort to strip Donald Trump of his presidency. Last weekend, he spoke out encouraging our troops to disobey Trump if they dont agree with him when he takes power. CNS News reported that Obama appeared at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida to talk about the foundation that we will leave for the next administration. Obama continued to describe the militarys fight as one against violent extremism, and actually asked the soldiers to rise up against Trump if they feel he is pushing ill-considered policies. Each of us hasthe universal right to speak your minds and to protest against authorities; to live in a society thats open and free; that can criticize our president without retribution, Obama commented. So rather than offer false promises that we can eliminate terrorism by dropping more bombs or deploying more and more troops or fencing ourselves off from the rest of the world. Obama then went on to blame the terrorism weve seen throughout his presidency on the Second Amendment and global warming, claiming global warming plays a major role in the conflict in the Middle East because it is increasing competition for food and water. What do you think of Obamas comments? Are you ready for him to be out of the White House? 
3	One Groups Viral Meme Campaign Taught the Internet that Taxation is TheftBy John Vibes Hundreds of memes, some that are funny, and some that dont even make sense, relating to the taxation is theft theme have littered the Internet in recent weeks; and while some people may be getting tired of them, they are having an incredible impact in raising awareness about the idea. In fact, a quick look at Google search data shows that the last month has seen a massive spike in online interest in the term and that Web searches for the term are at an all-time high. If you are confused by the term taxation is theft, just think of the government as people without any special privileges. If an average person takes money from someone under the threat of force it is called robbery, but if the government does it is considered legal and moral, and is called taxation. No one actually ever agreed to this arrangement; it has been forced on millions of people against their will, and a long list of justifications have been created to convince people that they are not being stolen from. Since the government is allowed to extract money from its citizens at the barrel of a gun, this guarantees that they will have funding for any kind of project they want, even if those projects are unpopular with taxpayers. This is because the public has no choice but to pay taxes; therefore, they have no say in how their money is used and are typically forced into paying for their own oppression, and the slaughtering of their neighbors. Sure, there are some social welfare programs that do benefit some people, but the money that these projects cost are a tiny fraction of the money that is actually received from taxation. Most of the money that is brought in through taxes is used for bureaucratic budgets, collection enforcement, and the gluttony of federal and state governments. So, while a portion of the revenue is being used for beneficial projects, a majority of the money is still being wasted or used for nefarious means. Some researchers have described this as a thief giving you five dollars, while at the same time taking a hundred dollars from your back pocket. There is an unbelievable amount of fear directed at this concept because for so long, our civilizations have been propelled by violence instead of rationality. Immediately upon hearing about these ideas of doing away with coercive taxation, many people who are new to the idea will immediately scoff, if taxes were not collected under threat of force then no one will pay them and there will be chaos and the poor will die in the streets. This statement shows that taxation isnt working for the average person. Therefore, ideas about the consent of the governed and the social contract are complete fallacies. If someone explicitly states that people wouldnt pay taxes if they werent mandatory, they are then admitting that tax revenue is not used to benefit the public and that no one would pay if they didnt have a gun to their head. When a need arises in a community, people naturally come together and take care of what needs to be done; they dont need someone with a gun in their face telling them how to do it. For our species to have any chance on this earth, we must start thinking about more peaceful ways of going about things, and stop justifying the use of violence in all circumstances, even soft-core violence like legislation, taxation, and indoctrination. These two got married and didnt ask government for permission.The Free Thought Project.com (Y)#TaxationIsTheft Posted by The Free Thought Project.com on Thursday, March 24, 2016 John Vibes writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared.

After people are forced to write checks at the end of the year for thousands of dollars to uncle sam the sheep will awaken. Even making it a monthly bill would help. It might even be better to make it a monthly bill to remind everybody on a regular basis how much they are paying Probably wouldnt get past the 3rd month before revolution broke out. .. sounds like a great idea! You people are still handing them money? No one actually ever agreed to this arrangement; it has been forced on millions of people against their will. Uh, really? Article I of the Constitution gives the Congress the power to levy taxes, and the 16th Amendment allows Congress to tax income. Seems that both of these provisions were ratified by a majority of the States by their legislative, representative bodies. Time to do your homework. I love the way these statist boot-lickers always say it seems when presenting an argument. It seems I have to put these leg irons on your ankles and this collar around your neck because it seems I have the right to do that. Or so it seems. Obviously, I did. And your homework gets an F. You couldnt be more wrong. The 16th Amendment skipped ratification and went right to enforcement. It was never properly ratified because the States would simply never vote for something that stupid. Your promotion of illegal statutes that never became law because the American people werent stupid back then makes you a collaborator in these crimes. If I show up at your house with a document I say was ratified and tell you to turn over your payroll money, wouldnt that just be clever robbery? Yet do it every week of the month for a couple of years and pretty soon people might forget I just made that up out of thin air. The Sixteenth Amendment DID NOT skip ratification. It was proposed by Congress in June 1909 and did not go into effect until February 1913, two and a half years later, after being ratified by the requisite 3/4 of the states. There are a lot of kooky theories about why the Amendment isnt valid, but because the States would simply never vote for something that stupid is quite novel. Here is a list of the states and the dates on which their state legislatures ratified the Amendment. Apparently they were just that stupid. All of them. Im not promoting anything. Im just citing history. Well-documented history. SMH Time for you to migrate out, shill. Fifty years ago would have been a lot better. Were the Founders perfect with their first attempt at setting up a nation based on Individual Sovereignty? NO. Regardless of the seemingly approving posture of the Founders allowances (and the Congress of 1916), does it change the nature of TAX = THEFT? No it does not, JMax Yikes, I didnt realize I had fallen into the loony bin. Adios, machaca! its great to filter out the folks who love slavery.. You speak Spanish. Thats convenient because Donald Trump will be shipping your kind to Cuba. Enjoy. So is the first amendment wrong too? How about the 2nd, 3rd, 4th? The real problem is that the money we pay to the ir s from theft goes to a Puerto Rico Trust run and owned, privately just like the fed and run by and for the benefit of the imf, vatican, crown and fed. Get the idea? You can turn taxation in an income by offsetting future tax liabilities based on present(or past) income against future earnings with a tradeable tax credit. Now, we can create a carbon tax and force everyone to pay increased prices for consumable goods while forming a market for tradeable financial securities that enrich major corporations, politicians and Wall Street but somehow it is impossible to do the same for ordinary working class people? There is simply no way to allow ordinary people to benefit from a tax credit scheme? How about a Meritocracy where time spent performing labor or services for charities are credited against your future tax liabilities by the I.R.S. and Treasury Department? How about a tradeable security being issued by government valued at fixed base(1/2) but tradeable upwards to full income levels(BLS median wage) which corporations can purchase as an offset against their tax liability? at a market price. Totally impossible to gainfully employee every American using a valuation-as-instrument that actually doesnt exist until they work but in fact allows them to either earn an income(tradeable security) or offset a future liability giving them a higher income once employed.just impossible to do anything in America right? Zero interest from members of Congress, the media or Hollywood-types in this ideaand idea that makes people AND Wall Street wealthier. Imagine that. Our country is a fraud. We Need a Totally new system Im glad your working on one. Maybe try to make your bits fit into the bits that come from other peoples. Bartering works well. Im all for cutting out the middle man. We will see a lot more of it when we become a cashless society. Coming soon to a town near you. Large scale bartering was amazingly effective at getting Germany out of the Great Depression. They did stuff like directly swap machine tools for grain without the middle man, not even money. an interesting thing occurred the last few years, the US government has repeatedly and openly admitted on the record, that they have aided what they term as moderate rebels in Syria. This makes the US government a terrorist organization according to their own laws and admissions and definitions! Paying/giving the US gvt any money would make you a FELON! as you would be AIDING TERRORISTS AND TERRORISM! Interesting, no?? and accurate. Taxation based on property value is theft. At $10 per hour, that is 40,000 hours work you did for your slave master(s). Are you insane? And I dont care if you are worth $100 per hour which would illustrate you have a superior intellect to most. But it also proves HOW DAMNED STUPID YOU ARE TO FORK OVER THAT MUCH CASH (or you 4,000 hours) TO PARASITES WHO OWN YOU. I believe it is God who said in His 8th Commandment. THOU SHALT NOT STEAL or at least thats what Moses reported He said.. Taxation is nothing more than the continuation of the Primitive and Arrogant medieval confiscation mechanism behind a Militaristic Intimidation Structure. Nothing has changed. The king and his entourage has only been replaced by another assortment of psychopaths and sociopaths in the socio-political control apex. Taxation is the Root of all Evil. And Bernie Sanders wants to raise taxes to somewhere around 75-80%. Ive even heard him say hed like it at 90%. Anyone for having 90% of your paycheck stolen? I figured with that title, youd mention which group. 
1	At a press conference Monday, Jaguars quarterback and East Carolina University alum David Garrard indicated through certain statements to reporters that 'East Carolina' is one of the 50 United States. 'I can say without hesitation that it is definitely my favorite of all the Carolinas,' said the former ECU Pirate, who, when pressed, identified the imaginary commonwealth's capital as Greenville and its state bird as the red-necked grebe. 'There's just this enormous sense of state pride over there that I felt as soon as came across the North Carolina border. And it's a progressive state, too: Did you know Obama carried East Carolina?' Garrard later told reporters that if he had to choose one state to live in, it would be between Western Kentucky and Ball State. 
3	Is The Virginia Shooting Hoax Blowing Up in the MSMs Face?By Joe Wright Actually, this is an even bigger warning to the billionaire philanthropists who back aggressive gun control initiatives and are likely backing these staged events. Youve hired horrible actors. Youre going to get busted unless you back off. But, alas, we know your allegiance to the UN Small Arms Treatyrequiresyou to push forward despite a growing number who know your game. The latest reporter shooting hoax in Virginia is getting so easily torn apart by the conspiracy research community that the medias emotional staging of actors is becoming absurd. The latest discovery is thatAlison Parkers alleged fianc Chris Hurst, who has only eight social media photos of him with Alison, is probably just her TV boyfriend. A guy named Daniel Wulz has been outed by facial recognition as her real-world boyfriend. Some of the medias photos of Alisonare taken directly from Wulzs Facebook account, which is now curiously unavailable. Not surprisingly, Daniel Wulz,is also filmmaker. His YouTube channel described as The combined efforts of our work featuring Independent Films, Concert Videos and Film trailers. A video posted to his YouTube channel has the description Something I made when I was still learning film. Kinda crappy but whatever. Video below: Wulz posted a creepy new video to his YouTube channel today after a 7-month break, a shirtless rendition of a song For Alison. When will the media interview this guy who was so clearly a huge part of her life? Many have already pointed out the acting background of the supposed father of the victim Alison Parker, Andy Parker. Perhaps its a coincidence that his background readied him for appearing everyday on TV since and including the same day his daughter was allegedly murdered. From the description to a recentDutchsinse video: While playing the banker, Andy Parker is also simultaneously doing Broadway plays and TV commercials reaching back multiple years. To top it off, hes also a former politician ! Hes real jack of all trades it would seem. Pictures of Andy Parkers latest performance as the lead star in Les Miserables! See screenshots from his 2013 performances here. All of these alleged mass shootings are immediately capitalized on by fake family members to call for more gun control. The media and the lawmakers are either completely in on the fraud or theyre being played like fools. When will they wake up? UPDATE: Another amazing compilation of the crisis actors working on this hoax. Good job. But the guys FB page is still there. How many guns do you think you will need to shoot down 1,000 drones if the government decides to actually come for you ? You gun nuts are in the dark so badly, its pitiful. If youre worried about your protection, you better learn how to build self-replicating drones. Stop wasting your time watching vids like this and other propaganda that wastes your time directing attention towards guns. Guns will not save you, idiots, they will do nothing against the future of weaponry. OOOOOOKAY SHEEPLE what ever you say go back to sleep nothing here for you lol, guns will save us from the likes of morons like you! Self-replicating drones? You watch too much tv scooter. Worry about self replicating drones but give up your guns. If this guy is not a government spook doing disinfo then he must be one of those sheeple the government thinks is dumb enough to buy hoaxes like this one. Kiss my azz. Well this response shouldnt surprise anyone. Kens response surprised me. I said nothing about guns. I mentioned the relationship. So Ken can kiss my azz. Funny, a bunch of guys with AK-47s manage to keep beating the best army in the world. Because these wars are not meant to be won, just sustained. Like the US sustained them against the Chinese Communists and North Koreans? And the North Vietnamese? Who were armed with? Like the Soviets against the Afghans? You think they were just trying to sustain a war for their Military Industrial Complex? Granted the war industrialists of world empires like to sustain wars as long as possible, but at some point things get out of hand. Politicos dont like having to stand before their constituents and explain all the body bags AND losing. Makes funding hard to justify for the next one. In a sense, John_Smith makes a serious point: the AK-47 is one of the scariest weapons ever devised. Made in over two dozen countries they are ubiquitous, havent changed much in nearly 70 years, you can train a 15 year old to use one in about as many minutes, and they are virtually indestructible (wars are being fought with rifles made literally over half a century ago, which still work). Youve got jungles, deserts and forests where potentially there is one behind every tree, rock, and dune. One poking out of every third world window. We going to drone them all? Sure, you can kill a killer bee with a BB. Try taking on a hive with a Crossman air rifle. The AK-47 was designed after the excellent late war German Sturmgewehr StG 44. Well, it helps if you kidnap Hugo Schmeisser after the war and suddenly come up the AK-47, the first and last rifle Mikhail Kalashnikov ever designed. My admiration is for the design of the rifle, its serviceability, and its ease of manufacture and maintenance. I wouldnt quibble over whether installing a rotating bolt in a Sturmgewehr (originally a tilting bolt design) makes it a whole new design, but I suspect having the historically talented original designer of the StG 44 imprisoned in his Russian weapons factory might have given Kalashnikov a leg up in the reverse-engineering process. In a firefight, would I trade an AK for a Sturmgewehr? Depends on how much ammo I had. In a battle against people armed primarily with AK-47s Id take the weapon I could confiscate 7.62 x 39mm ammunition off of. For pride of ownership Id take the original German version (also theyre worth a fortune to anyone who knows the history, as obviously you do). Youre right; we should start lobbying efforts to legalize AA guns and Stinger shoulder-fired rockets. I mean afterall, if the Department of Defense is willing to give these weapons to radical Islamists in Libya and Syria, surely they would be willing allow We the People to purchase these weapons. U must have read the federalist papers. The people in order to preserve their liberty are sworn to defend the constitution and any dictator that tries to overthrow it. It was also mandated that the public be as well armed as the MIC. I have the design mine for a rail gun that I will eventually build. Thats a gun that uses a like magnetism projectile. The projectile is repelled by like magnets at incredible velocity thereby relying on kinetic energy as the destructive force. Its all about polarity charge between the rail (a barrel) and the fixed polarity of the projectile. Think of it as shooting dimes at 5000 fps. Anticipated problem is the mechanical ability of the hardware to keep up with the rejection projection of the dimes firing. An uzi would be slow compared to this action. Then downrange accuracy is another issue but at this speed and quantity who cares. Send those drones Ill even stamp my logo on the dimes. At this kenetic release of energy it will be hard to find anything but very small pieces. Think gravity vid. yea theyve been in production for over 10years now. Private sector has been building them and the U.S. Navy has a giant one on a few war ships with a range of over 200 miles. How many guns do you think you will need to shoot down 1,000 drones? One with at least 1000 rounds, duh. Only if youre a real good shot. On the other hand, how many guns does it take to shoot down an enemy drone operator? Because, if the shooting starts here at home, I, for one, wouldnt want to have Combat Drone Operator, American Theater on my resume. I wouldnt want to be a sheriff or chief of police or local military recruiter who didnt side with the Oath Keepers or the community, either. If they start using the internment camps to house dissenters, I wouldnt want to man a guard tower or walk the wall with roaming groups of armed militia somewhere outside the gates. Most of dont want to see it come to that, that the American government starts a shooting war with its own people, employing our own military and local police forces against us. But the fact is there are many more of us than there are of them. And however much some politicians might want to deny military vets their 2nd Amendment rights, there are many here who would happily lend them a spare. Thats why theyll try and use troops from other countries. But then well see Chinese and Russians everywhere, and the people will rise u against them too! Ahhh, but then you see why TPTB want to legalize drone warfare for the country itself and call it security and protection allow local law enforcement to use armed drones too. Suddenly, there are thousands of armed drones patrolling Interstates and cities, determining who is a threat and who is not. Japanese Emperor Hirohito said, during WWII that invading the US would be futile as there is a rifle behind every blade of grass. Well, now they can send in thousands upon thousands of unmanned, satellite controlled, armed drones. Awesome! (no to mention the AI gaining sentience).. More likely UN troops, as I doubt Putin is feeling all that kindly toward the US, and even Obama (or whatever name is) or our current front runners wouldnt be mad enough to let the Chinese in. If its going to happen Id actually prefer UN peacekeepers; they wear those cute baby blue helmets which show up so well in the woods. Also, UN member countries each carry their favorite brand of rifle, which in the majority of cases is the AK, firing 7.62 x 39mmI wouldnt have to go shopping for more ammo when the SHTF. And then there is the UNs wonderful track record of coordinating so well with assorted national military and mercenary groups like Blackwater. Its been a cluster f**k just about everywhere they go, including Haiti (a small, starving, unarmed, disillusioned country UN troops still have trouble controlling). What I like best about bringing in UN peacekeepers is that they come in all flavors (have trouble communicating even amongst themselves) so whatever particular prejudice any given American patriot may have against any particular member nation, there would be plenty of choices for everyone, plenty of reason to rise up against the whole gang of them. UN troops on US soil would have even my grandmother rising up out of her grave to start feeding rounds into a magazine clip. The rifle behind every blade of grass is probably apocryphal, attributed to Admiral Yamamoto advising Hirohito but more likely WWII propaganda. Effective propaganda, as it is still quoted, and it still has a certain ring of truth. For those trolls here and elsewhere on the Internet who go on about typical American couch potatoes lacking the will to fight, I know a few patriots of whom the blade of grass meme WOULD most certainly be true, and I know OF a great many more. And they each probably know a few more, and so on. Would I lend a spare weapon to a patriotic neighbor? In doing so I will have doubled my strength. Im sure Im not alone in performing this simple calculus. The actual number of gun OWNERS is not the same as the number of potential gun USERS. FB page is now Denim Dan,,,,,, and he is an actor and film maker also. someone should consider how much he was paid Why do they make it so obvious? Sickening to the point of laughable. Especially since the gun never ejected the spent cartridge as he was shooting. actually you can see the spent cartridges fall in the video. Actually no casings were ejected. I take it you have no idea how a Glock works. You need SOMETHING in there to make the slide go back between shots. While it may have been blanks, there were still shells in it. It was a prop gun. Called a non-gun in the trade. They use electric squibs, which produce flash and noise but the slide doesnt move and brass doesnt eject. Can you show me one to alleviate my doubt? I have a Glock. I know what they look like very well. Sure they were. YOu just cant see them because the video isnt fast enough to film them. Cmon man. And 911, Sandy Hoax, and the Boston Bombing Drill played out exactly how they said they did right? 22,000 suicides by gun last year in U.S. 11,000 registered murders by gun do you all really think they need to set something up to go off about gun control ? You are all in it so deep, of course guns kill, and the U.S. has more guns than anyone. There is no need to hire actors or to make a hoax, this is an every day reality in the U.S. Okay, Arizona, please, maybe you can shed some light on the topic of future weaponry. What good will your guns do you when there are thousands of drones with guns ? Please do enlighten. Ill take that one, Ken. Answer me why soldiers still carry bayonets and combat knives into a machine gun fight? Or, why even carry a gun when the enemy has rockets? Or why use rockets when the enemy has bombs? Why have a military at all when there are nukes, biological warfare agents, and who knows what all? Why, in fact, are you here advising patriots to throw down their weapons and raise their hands because the enemy has drone technology? Construction sites are using drone technology, Ken. Hobbyists are using drone technology. My mother is in a nursing home, when they take her out for her daily constitutional, shes probably playing with drone technology. Kids in basements all over the world are building anti-drone devices full of scrap shrapnel (patriots all). The Viet Cong successfully fought the US military to a standstill. We had Hueys, fighter jets, napalm, warships, RPGs, massive bombs, Agent Orange, C-Rats, jungle camos, and toilet paper. All technology, all of which the VC lacked. Still they won. Who the heck ARE you, Ken? A paid disinfo agent, or some half-educated kid up past his bedtime? If you wanna kill yourself, and dont have a gun around, you will find a way to do it dumbass! The only every day reality in America were guns are involved is black on black crime over a 10 buck piece of crack. Now, go back to your mommas basement, and leave us big pant folk alone. Dont forget to mention white on white crime over a peice of meth.or the massacre white people do at movie theaters and churches white on white crimemassacre white people do Do you breathe from your mouth? (Do you be breathin from yo mouf?) I own my own house -business- and life in general thank you. You ought to wake up to the 21st century though, my friend, black on black crime doesnt even get registered in the ghettos but that is the least of anyones worry. The real worry is having adults who think they will be able to make a difference against the future of weaponry with a damn gun. Please. Try again. Maybe go to school become a tech programmer ? Maybe start playing with tech that actually will help you survive. If youre not about to educate yourself on modern tech, and to pursue endeavors in fields unrelated to simple fire arms then you are insignificant. Hey Ken why are you so against people having a gun? What if I was a programmer, knew machine code and all hey I can program a drone! But I also want to be armed for non-drone, non-technology fighting? You know, like a hand gun? You anti-gun nuts are all the same. Maybe go to school become a tech programmer Thats what they told everyone in the late 1990s too, it did not work out for them then wont work for anyone now. Tech is dead. Apple watch a completed failure, HP laying off 55000 because computer sales have collapsed. If 10,000 of those murders were black-on-black crime, then that means America has one of the lowest murder rates on the entire planet per 100,000 people, no contest whatsoever. Goes to show you more guns, less crime. Your loss of personal freedom is another every day reality pal! Your ignorance is dumbfounding. Your guns will do absolutely nothing but make you feel better. I dont give a damn about feeling protected. The future of weaponry will crush whatever dusty arsenal of machine guns you have stocked. Hey, Ken, fyi There are currently all kinds of available ammunition for rifle calibers like the .308WIN and .300 WIN MAG, etc. etc, that can penetrate their best level 3 kevlar. I am sorry but they arent invincible. You really think the government can destroy everyone? Even people in the military arent all going to kill US citizens. Picked on in school police may want to be a part. But, no, some of us have grown up with guns and dont see them the way you do. Imagine that. For over 30 years Ive been within yards of a gun and Ive never been shot or shot anyone. And Ive shot literally many thousands of rounds. Well thanks for clearing that up for us Ken. I suppose now the only left for us to do, if we follow your logic is to, all turn our guns in, Right? Get back into your troll hole. Rudy, well see how much your guns help you when the drones come flying in. Why dont you focus on answering that for me what good will your guns do against modern tech ? PLEASE someone with a shred of intelligence what is your plan against modern tech ? Too deep? And you dont question bizarre anomalies like the same kid being killed in two school shootings on two different continents? Noah Ponzer = Huzaifa Huxaifa, the same exact photographs used in official and media accounts for both victims. (What a coincidence Ponzers supposed mother is a UN gun restriction proponent.) But then, you probably never took the time to research Sandy Hook or deconstruct the absurd photographs of the Boston bombing scene. Theres good reason to question high profile incidents, esp. after 9/11. Wake up. globalresearch (dot) ca/sandy-hook-victim-photo-used-to-memorialize-pakistani-school-massacre/5422691 You guys are so deep down the rabbit hole. Do you EVER google whatever your fave conspiracy theory is + DEBUNKED? Or do you just choose the hits that affirm you bias? So you like caves and shadows? Its easy to swallow the twisted logic on debunking sites when youre too lazy to put 2 + 2 together. So what do the esteemed debunking sites have to say about the same kid being murdered in both the Sandy Hook and Pakistan school shootings? Did you ever wonder how a weak small framed Lanza could carry the incredibly heavy load of firepower he would have needed and shot off rounds more efficiently than most well trained professionals ever could? Kinda sounds like a fairy tale, huh? But dont take my word, take the word experts like Halbig. Analyze it yourself instead of swallowing specious arguments from fools and disinfo agents. In the age of modern day narcissism, why wouldnt she advertise whos shes sleeping with down to the minute? Dirt bag ^^^ please try to get the fathers appearance on ac360 : I didnt want to be a media star This is Batman. Alison and I are in Gotham. Come get us Joker. Wow! Youre really grieving, arent you?? Some obvious questions: Why would you select a black, gay man who is an rabid Obama supporter to be your gun man? A man who had a LBGT rainbow flag? Do you want to highlight black on white violence? How does that support the narrative? To further divide us. Its a two-fer: a black, gay man committing violence against white people. No one is trying to take your guns away. WTF is wrong with you people? I do not like being lied to. Then why do we need a UN small arms treaty? Oh yeah, youre right! The UN is going to come take your guns away. You better stockpile some ammo before the New World Order takes hold! Seriously though, youre wasting your valuable life worrying about someone taking your guns away when youll probably never need a gun in the first place. I guess everybody needs a hobby You should read a book about the communist infiltration in the U.S. since the early 1900s, and what their goals are. Will it be an open casket funeral? Lets take a look. Hank- I predict two closed casket funerals, followed by two cremations. The NY Time did a story today. They said both victims were shot in the head. It will be a closed casket. The AP did a story yesterday, that showed up on the AOL feed, that said there was going to be an open-casket memorial for Ward for family and, of course, friends, employees at the station. Of course, its a closed gathering, and its just a story that the AP ran, no real proof of anything. There was no mention of Alison. private ceremony, no press only family and close friendssurprize ? Why should the press be invited? Why should the public? Umm because reporters are seen as public figures doofus. It only makes sense to make it a public funeral. Even more so in a small town like Moneta. and all their friends are press.. Nahhhh father already said BOTH victims will be CREMATED! Its absolutely ridiculous. Lol you know its illegal to fake your own death, they are reporters they would know this why would they fake it and become criminals? Better yet, lets place bets on it! Operation Northwoods said FUNERALS WITH MOCK VICTIMS to gain public support for bombing Cuba. I think they made it so obvious because they wanted to see the percentage of people that caught it and who was stupid enough to fall for it. This is basically telling anyone with any critical thinking skills to stick it and that they can do whatever they want. My opinion anyway. I often think that too. My view is they are so bored that they just lay it out there so obvious. Data collection for Santas list? That ship sailed long long ago in a galaxy far far away Notice that the moderator here wont allow my link which debunks this conspiracy whacko garbage. Wulz Facebook profile is still there, replete with profile and cover pics of him with her. You people are sick. I would bet that Wulz is still in the picture, and is possibly with Allison at this moment. The putative boyfriend, Andy Parker? Robbie Parker? coincidence? Ken u dont need to worry about military drones comin for you. Likely scenario if the gov started that BS theyd lose every sat uplink sat transponder thats guarded or not they are very fragile. Thats the 4G system youre responding on with a comment. Long rifle rounds can reach out and take out cameras from a long range. China even has tested a lo tek weap hi explosive satellite surrounded by pellets (buck shot) that is detonated in orbit. Again we are talkin about kenitic energy in 0 gravity. Then everyone is deaf, dumb, blind per satellite until vandenberg starts re launching new ones. This weapon doesnt discriminate about who owns that satellite. Dont tell me about altitude either thats a discretionary ignition. The shooter was the one actually murdered, and the video of the shooting was staged to be the background story to make the real victim look like the murderer committing suicide. Im left doubting in the video if anyone is really being shot, and am not sure if they are alive or dead now, but probably still alive with new identities having got away with murder. This is not a state sponsored false flag but a murder pretending to be an official false flag. Parker, huh? I have to wonder if they are related to Robbie Parker of Sandy Hook fame/infamy. Looks like a white person did the shooting, look at the skin color of the hand holding the gun. explain this moral depravity angle im all ears. Put a suit on Donald and he would fit in any of the alphabet agencies, he is just doing his job. Spoken like a true government traitor trying to conceal the truth. So, you allow the comments from name-callers and paid trolls to stand, but censor mine? Shame on you! Vester Lee Flanagan (the shooter) CHANGED CLOTHES during the Roanoake Well, I was willing to believe that this Virginia shooting incident really did occur as portrayed, but the two different shirts on the alleged shooter pretty much settles it for me. It was just another staged hoax to push for more gun control. From now on we can never automatically assume that anything like this seen on television is real. These people are shameless and so desperate to get rid of guns that they are willing to go to any lengths to do it. These people are shameless and so desperate to get rid of guns that they are willing to go to any lengths to do it. Even take the Mark of the Beast By Physically Helping (Mark in the Hand) the NWO Beast take control. Televisionthey are telling us their vision Ive found it! This article is so sad. If it wasnt for the lives lost it would be laughable but access to guns and irresponsible gun owners are no laughing matter. This articleis disgusting. Musta hita nerve with this one.Look at all the trolls! You should see the trolls on this one LiveLeak thread related to this! They dispatch trolls to these threads. And think about it: what would someone who believes the official story be doing hanging around threads that debunk the official story? That makes zero sense. My favorite troll response was I live 3 miles from this location, its realproving completely that the entire planet is full of mouth breathing, wide eyed, morons and idiots. Scam, scam, scam.Her real boyfriend, Daniel Wulz is and actor also. His Facebook page has changed to denim dan and he has blocked all but 1 picture.. This whole story is so fishy you can smell it in Iraq. I would like to start a fund to pay for a private detective to examine the actors involved here and the easily findable evidence about all of the fakery involved. You know why the Medial Elite and the US Government want a race war? Divide and conquer, weapons confiscation, because the only thing they fear are WE THE PEOPLE realizing the crap they have been doing to us for decades. Then us coming together to deal with them. Think about it, the Elite is like a grain of pepper ordering a 1000 pound bag of salt to change its flavor. Nice sleuthing. My browser wont open the wide shut website. The Google description for the website says Balderson produces documentaries. Eyes Wide Shut, thats apt. In a Disqus recorded web comment Balderson says there is no such thing as a crisis actor, its baaad conspiracy theory. One hoax after the other. The sad thing is many people believe TV news. Turn off your TV sets, its enemy propaganda. We dont have a legitimate government, and we havent had one for a long time. Yes, The Hoaxes are coming sooner sooner. The Economy is near collapse before people find out their 401Ks Pensions are gone, the Politicians The Too Big Too Jail need to get the weapons away from the American People, before they come after them. Isnt that what Hitler did? I cancelled my cable subscription and all TV signal to my home in 2005. Its a hypnosis machine, not just a propaganda platform. It hypnotizes people into believing the propaganda. trouble is, the elderly and the very young all believe this. ALL of it has that off feel. Excepting maby the Columbine shootings. Sandy Hook??? No sirreee. Do you bother to read A.P. articles on police brutality, GMOs, geoengineering, fascism, government spying, illegal wars, etc? The BS being thrown at us is EPIC. With a long history of deception and exploitation, why is it a waste of time to scrutinize what we are being force fed every day? Those Iraqis are a lot tougher than the football-watching couch potatoes in America (who think theyre tough just because they watch football on TV). Something like 84 million Americans legally own firearms (in many cases more than one weapon), to which family, friends, and neighbors might be granted access in a crisis. We dont all watch football, in fact many of us dont have TVs or even couches. What we do have is firepower. In the youtube video (now gone) there were 3 or 4 shots fired with the news gal screaming after each shot. How do you scream when youre getting shot in the head? Oh wellyesterdays newsgot the cop shooting in Texas nowanother nutty black guy (probably on prescribed drugs youll never hear about)to distract us away from what appears to be a badly staged gun control false flag. I wonder if theres a false flag actor identity protection program? So you think the guy was a crack shot and every bullet hit. Is it possible she screamed UNTIL she was shot in the head? The father gets a Gene Rosen award NEVER EVER EVER do the families of the victims EVER cry! Sandy Hook families were laughing and giggling, Alisons dad is another actor against guns, the shooter was photographed in two different shirts? He shot in a blue and white checkered shirt, then moments later seen dressed in all black??? What a farce! Patsy Ramsey was a better actor! But not by much. You can NOT understate Gene Rosens accomplishments. Emmy nominee. Rotten Tomatos most accomplished actor ever. Mr. I dont need no stinking lines. Altho the ME was very good too. They slowed the video down and it shows Alison LOOKING at the shooter right before he shot. Here was a disgruntled employee just inches away and she ignores him? Oh Jesus.. This is Just Soo Freakin Obvious!! These Actors are the Worst!! Jesus is our only hope.come soon The really puzzling part is WHY? Why go to all the trouble to stage this so they can pass antigun legislation when Americans have proven they will not use their guns to defend there rights against tyranny anyway? Owning a gun is the only right we have left because it is the least threatening to their power. When the Public finds out that their 401K Pension funds have Bernie Madoff Statements the money is an illusion THEY WILL BE FIGHTING MAD the Politicians Too Big Too Jail Know it. I would really like to believe that. But the majority of the public depends on government and will continue to do so no matter what. Working, productive people have always been screwed by the government. Or.maybe they just want our energy focused in one direction while they are doing something in the other direction. A very good possibility. Relevance ? Unless you live someplace other than a rich first world nation ? Btw, anyone who doubts self-replicating robotics is completely in the dark. It is fun poking and prodding you gun nuts, however. My main point is a point that can not be beaten, no matter the next pistol holding patriot who tries technology is overtaking your means to take over the government. You will use your gun one day yes but it will be to take your own lives once you realize how powerless you really are against modern day tech. Do yourselves a favor and stop cheerleading guns cheer lead modern forms of tech that can actually make an impact. Otherwise, set aside a bullet with your initials on it. I have no idea of Kens origin, but he makes a valid point (drone suggestions aside). Best paraphrased, Never bring a gun to a sound cannon fight. There is an enormous arsenal of directed energy weapons, sound cannons, EMF brain fry weapons and much more. Technology exists to see through the thickest walls of a home, (build a cling wrap cube to hide inside to remain invisible to them), and things we dont even know about. Mentioned above is just offence; not addressed is the defence technology of vehicles, body armour, shields, etc. His comment about bullets with your initials is deplorable, but he is correct- guns are loosing relevance as a means of defence. A valid scenario is an armoured, manned, weaponized vehicle crawling down a street. Using barrier penetration tech, armour piercing incendiary rounds and a list of homes containing patriot/terrorists, they take out the homes like ducks on a pond. That said, there IS a push to remove guns from the hands of Americans, and if guns WERE irrelevant, then why the effort? The answer is found in mitigation. Fewer guns equal less resistance.not resistance with a chance of success; simply LESS resistance, and so a quicker implementation of full control. One good EMP strike in our AO and the old fashioned weapon is good to go! One good technicalogic advance simply begets anotherits the nature of the beast. Happy hunting It looks like the brainwashing did work. They brainwashed themselves. Holder should be in prison for Fast Furious They didnt lose the first one against the British. That boyfriend is sure a cold fish.hes not sad. People who believe this was a hoax are all tools. We hope their family members get shot in the head so they can feel the pain they keep causing by these ridiculous stories. Hmm, maybe I dont want to be an actor. Because the first shot didnt get her in the head. THINK! Didnt hit her at all. Watch the video shot by the shooter. She ran away just fine, and her screams never changed tone. people dont instantly die once they have been shot! My favorite is must of bin. Everybody needs to re-watch Wag the Dog again. Classic film Doubt, what rests on a wooden platform, are amplified when looking at the feet of the cameraman. Before his death he decided to put white socks on the knees? You will agree, its pretty weird to pull them on the knees when you are killed. How long should a black wear gloves to make his skin so pale? The color of the inner and outer parts of the palm are identical. With blacks this does not happen camera STANDS and facing the body it could not shot last photo You insane conspiracy theorists sicken me, these families are greaving the loss of their loved ones and you bottom feeders are calling it fake. To believe your moronic and irresponsible and hateful theory you would have to think these people would quit their careers and disappear off the face of the earth, with full police cooperationi know maybe the illuminati had faces cut off dead people and put on the hoaxing reporter and camera man..lunatics You disgusting conspiracy lunatics, i am guessing this is not the first time someone has called you crazy but you go ahead and keep listening to the voices in your head These people are simply out of their minds You should see her interview. She is actually pretty fine and even the witness thinks this is fake. That should tell you something. Ok, a pretty good case has been put forward that this was a hoax. But where has Alison and the camera man gone to? Have they been paid off and left the country? Facial surgery to hide their identity? The disinformation program is complete, when everything the public knows is false: (MSM) they modify time stamps as they like they command even TIME In the shot from the camera that hit the floor and kept rolling, it looks like the gunman has a watch on his right wrist and a couple of rings on his left hand. I dont care what anybody says, the hand with the gun looks far too white to be this black guy. Of course well never get to see the pics the cops took, or the items from the morgue on his property sheet that they always do, itemizing everything on the body. Id be interested if the body in the morgue, Bryce Williams, had the watch and rings on. Im new to all this conspiracy stuff, but Im intrigued. I want to know though.these people that supposedly die, like alison parkerwere do they go if they arent really dead? And are their family and friends in on it? Like how can this Daniel get away with posting pics of them together when she was supposed to be in a white hot romance with Hurst?? Please can anyone answer these? I want to believe! Despite the obviousness of these staged events, when the Orwellian-named Net Neutrality goes into effect beginning in 2016 I worry that real news sources will be steadily eliminated, and especially the enlightening comments section. Already, many mainstream articles dont allow comments. So will official idiocy stand, completely unchallenged? Why attack anyone whos aware enough and cares enough to comment? And by his name I assume its just the written version of broken english. TV preachers like Mike Murdoch, that steal from ignorant people, are better actors than these crisis actors, like the gay boyfriend or grieving dad! You bin a Petty fool four long? Is that your simple brain could com up with? Seriously, what percentage of people you have discussed this hoax shooting with agrees that it is a staged hoax? I live in Florida on the Space Coast. Nine out of ten people I discuss it with think Im nuts. They are going to end up losing the support of people who might agree with them with these stunts. On its best day an electro magnetic pulse will not stop a 7.62 x 39 millimeter round, nor a 30. 30 or a.357 bear stopper. An EMP may, however, shut off your TV set. OTOH, so could a full metal jacketed bullet. I suggest people load up. Things might get a bit weird, you might not know whats going on, with your TV off and all. Im not sure how this would work.I know the Ward family personally and our community is heartsick that Adam has died. Are you saying these 2 people arent dead? Or just that their deaths are being used as a gun control goal? I know that this administration will use ANY chance they have to promote gun control, but I also know the Ward family is grieving.I do not know the Parker family. Your blood argument is very poor. None of those GIF are close up shots(they are actually very far away) except one and that one has shaky came issue where you cant even get a clear view of the guys face. You should see her interview. She is actually pretty fine and even the witness thinks this is fake. 
1	Following a speech tomorrow afternoon in support of Senate hopeful Richard Blumenthal, top Democratic Party member Barack Obama is expected to take advantage of a brief lull in his hectic schedule to govern the United States of America, sources reported Thursday. 'Barack should have a little bit of free time in the car when we travel between the get-out-the-vote rally in East Hartford and the fundraising dinner for [Connecticut gubernatorial candidate] Dan Malloy,' said Obama aide Lisa McMaster, admitting that most of the business of being leader of the free world would have to wait for the few days between the end of the midterm election cycle and the start of the 2010 presidential campaign. 'Those 15 or so minutes should allow him to skim the past weeks national security briefings, sign a few pieces of legislation, and shoot a 45-second call to South Korean prime minister Kim Hwang-sik to hammer out a free-trade pact.' McMaster added that if everything goes perfectly, Obama might have a moment between the dinner's salad and entre courses to authorize a missile strike on suspected al-Qaeda sites in Yemen. 
1	Twelve San Diego Zoo visitors and two employees were brutally sedated Monday, when laid-off zoologist Dr. Brian Vermeer, 41, returned to his former place of work armed with a tranquilizer gun and began firing into a crowd. 'It was kind of horrible,' said Maria Christopher, 44, who witnessed the tranquilizing spree. 'People were gently falling asleep over the course of 20 to 30 seconds everywhere.' The spree ended when Vermeer turned his gun on himself, knocking himself out for half an hour. 
1	Wiping blood from his hands as he spoke with reporters Monday, U.S. ambassador to Cambodia William E. Todd said that if memory served, the thing he just did is almost certainly covered under the provisions of diplomatic immunity. While I would need to consult the exact wording of the 1961 Vienna Convention again to confirm, Im fairly confident that if you examine sovereign treaty law youll find that what I just did a few minutes ago cannot be defined as a prosecutable action, said the disheveled diplomat before changing his soiled shirt, washing his face and torso, and hoisting a full garbage bag into the trunk of his car. Of course, in the rare event of a civil suit, the State Department may waive immunity, but persecution isnt taken in the vast majority of cases. That is my understanding, at least. The ambassador went on to tell reporters that, as far as he knew, even if they wanted to stop him, they couldnt. 
2	BREAKING: Hillary Clinton Reportedly To Be Indicted This past weekend, a writer for the Huffington post reported that the FBI will pursue a criminal indictment against Hillary Clinton. The piece was called Hillary Clinton to be Indicted on Federal Racketeering Charges. It was quickly taken down after it went viral. The article was originally written by scientist Frank Hugenard, who claims he had his account disabled without explanation by Huffington Post editors and his article was deleted. Hugenard claimed that he had sources in the FBI who say the agency is preparing to recommend racketeering charges against Hillary. The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is a United States Federal Law passed in 1970 that was designed to provide a tool for law enforcement agencies to fight organized crime, Hugenard wrote. Rico allows prosecution and punishment for alleged racketeering activity that has been executed as part of an ongoing criminal enterprise. Bribery, counterfeiting, money laundering, embezzlement, illegal gambling, kidnapping, murder, drug trafficking, slavery and other business practices can be considered racketeering. According to Hugenard, James Coney and the FBI will present a recommendation to Loretta Lynch, Attorney General of the Department of Justice, that includes a cogent argument that the Clinton Foundation is an ongoing criminal enterprise engaged in money laundering and soliciting bribes in exchange for political, policy and legislative favors to individuals, corporations and even governments both foreign and domestic. Huffington Post Politics senior editor Sam Stein claims he does not know why the post was removed, and reporters should direct their questions to a blog editor. What do you think of this report? Is Hugenard being censored? 
2	Michelle Throws Tantrum After She Doesnt Get Her Way: This is Unacceptable Once again, First Lady Michelle Obama has been criticizing Republicans for wanting to pull back on her school lunch restrictions, which have been rather extremely implemented in public schools. This is unacceptable, Michelle reportedly said, Its unacceptable to me not just as first lady, but also as a mother. Is this the way a First Lady should be acting? Weve seen again and again, Michelle will throw a temper tantrum if she doesnt get what she wants, but hey, thats just fine with us. She even took a few stabs at Republicans, stating, the last thing we can afford to do right now is pay politics with our kids healthnow is not the time to roll back everything we have worked for. Is Michelle Obama a hypocrite? What do you think about Michelles comments? 
2	U.S. Ally Is Under Fire For Torturing ISIS Prisoners 6 ISIS terrorists have been captured by Kurdish forces, assisted by the U.S. This happened in October, and since then, the Kurdish have been accused of torturing these terrorists for information. These 6 terrorists witnessed the death of American Delta Force Master Sergeant Joshua Wheeler, killed in combat with ISIS. Obama has come down hard on the Kurdish. Its contrary to Americas traditions. Obama wants to shut down Guantanamo Bay. He is taking this country in the wrong direction. Do you think Obama is spineless?

2	Liberals And Muslims Are LIVID After Donald Trump Calls For Mass Shut Down Of Mosques Donald Trump seems to hop from one controversy to anotherprobably because he is not afraid to speak his mindsomething the White House is not used to in a president. Recently, Trump claimed that the United States should shut down mosques where some bad things are happening. He then appeared on Fox News Hannity to elaborate on his position, and what he would do if he were president. Nobody wants to say this and nobody wants to shut down religious institutions or anything, but you know, you understand it, Trump claimed. A lot of people understand it. Were going to have no choice. Trump then went on to claim that bad things are happening in America a lot faster than our president understands because he doesnt understand anything. Of course, Trump was referring to Obamas plan to house 10,000 Syrian refugees in our country this year alone. We take everybody, Trump commented. We dont know where they come from, we dont know what their crime record is. It could be wonderful. It could be a disaster. While his comments have liberal Americans up in arms, Trumps views on Americas border security have earned him the vote of many concerned Americansespecially as it pertains to ISIS. What do you think? Do you support Trump or is he taking things too far? 
3	Report: Cost of Incarceration Outweighs the BenefitsReport Concludes the U.S. Should Significantly Reduce Rate of Incarceration Given the minimal impact of long prison sentences on crime prevention and the negative social consequences and burdensome financial costs of U.S. incarceration rates, which have more than quadrupled in the last four decades, the nation should revise current criminal justice policies to significantly reduce imprisonment rates, says a new report from the National Research Council. A comprehensive review of data led the committee that wrote the report to conclude that the costs of the current rate of incarceration outweigh the benefits. The committee recommended that federal and state policymakers re-examine policies requiring mandatory and long sentences, as well as take steps to improve prison conditions and to reduce unnecessary harm to the families and communities of those incarcerated. In addition, it recommended a reconsideration of drug crime policy, given the apparently low effectiveness of a heightened enforcement strategy that resulted in a tenfold increase in the incarceration rate for drug offenses from 1980 to 2010 twice the rate for other crimes. We are concerned that the United States is past the point where the number of people in prison can be justified by social benefits, said committee chair Jeremy Travis, president of John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City. We need to embark on a national conversation to rethink the role of prison in society. A criminal justice system that makes less use of incarceration can better achieve its aims than a harsher, more punitive system. There are common-sense, practical steps we can take to move in this direction. The unprecedented and internationally unique rise in U.S. state and federal prison populations, from 200,000 inmates in 1973 to 1.5 million in 2009, occurred because of policy decisions such as mandatory sentencing, long sentences for violent and repeat offenses, and intensified criminalization of drug-related activity. Stricter sentencing policies were formed initially during a period of rising crime and social change; however, over the four decades when incarceration rates rose steadily, crime rates fluctuated. Another major consequence of high rates of incarceration is their considerable fiscal burden on society, the report says. Allocations for corrections have outpaced budget increases for nearly all other key government services, including education, transportation, and public assistance. State spending on corrections is the third highest category of general fund expenditures in most states today, ranked only behind Medicaid and education. Estimating incarcerations impact on crime is challenging, and studies on this topic have produced divergent findings. However, the report concludes that the increase in incarceration may have caused a decrease in crime, but the magnitude of the reduction is highly uncertain and the results of most studies suggest it was unlikely to have been large. In addition, the deterrent effect of increases in lengthy prison sentences is modest at best. Because recidivism rates decline significantly with age, lengthy sentences are an inefficient approach to preventing crime, unless they can specifically target high-rate or extremely dangerous offenders. People who live in poor and minority communities have always had substantially higher rates of prison admission and return than other groups. Consequently, the effects of harsh penal policies in the past 40 years have fallen most heavily on blacks and Hispanics, especially the poorest, the report says. In 2010, the imprisonment rate for blacks was 4.6 times that for whites. This exceeds racial differences for many other common social indicators, from wealth and employment to infant mortality. Incarceration correlates with negative social and economic outcomes for former prisoners and their families, and it is concentrated in communities already severely disadvantaged and least capable of absorbing additional adversities. From 1980 to 2000, the number of children with incarcerated fathers increased from about 350,000 to 2.1 million about 3 percent of all U.S. children. Further, men with a criminal record often experience reduced earnings and employment after prison, and housing insecurity and behavioral problems in children are hardships strongly related to fathers incarceration, according to the report. When ex-inmates return to their communities, their lives often continue to be characterized by violence, joblessness, substance abuse, family breakdown, and neighborhood disadvantage, said committee vice chair Bruce Western, professor of sociology, Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Professor of Criminal Justice, and the director of the Malcolm Wiener Center for Social Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. It can be challenging to draw strong causal conclusions from this research, but its clear that incarceration is now a facet of the complex combination of negative conditions that characterize high-poverty communities in U.S. cities. Prisons are part of a poverty trap, with many paths leading in, but few leading out. The report notes that deciding whether incarceration is justified requires an analysis of social costs versus benefits. This equation should weigh the importance of recognizing the harm experienced by crime victims, appropriately addressing those harms, and reinforcing societys disapproval of criminal behavior. However, the committee stressed that future policy decisions should not only be based on empirical evidence but also should follow these four guiding principles, which have been notably absent from recent policy debates on the proper use of prisons: The committee did not conduct an exhaustive review of literature on the effectiveness of alternatives to incarceration, crime prevention strategies, or victim assistance programs. In a supplementary statement to the report, one committee member questioned some of the reports conclusions regarding the effect of incarceration rates on crime prevention and underlying causes of high incarceration rates. However, he concurred with the reports recommendations, which he noted are important and ripe for consideration by the public and policymakers.

'I just got this T-shirt that's got a picture of Charles Manson with the swastika on his forehead,' Lindblad said. 'It's so fuckin' sick. I always wear a sweatshirt over it when my parents are aroundthey'd totally kill me if they saw it.'

1	While standing among the somber attendees who were gathered in lower Manhattan this morning to commemorate the 12th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, sources confirmed former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani briefly panicked after suddenly realizing he had been smiling widely throughout the entire ceremony. Oh, Jesus, has my face been like this the entire time? Giuliani reportedly said under his breath while stifling his large grin as the names of the victims were read out loud to friends and relatives convened at the National September 11 Memorial. I think Ive been smiling through at least 1,000 names or so. All right, Rudy. Just look extra somber for the rest of this thing and youll be fine. Remember: sad. Really sad. While a childrens choir solemnly sang the national anthem, the former mayor once again caught himself beaming from ear to ear after remembering himself being cheered at Yankee Stadium. 
3	Canada Approves GM Fish Eggs, Environmental ThreatHeather Callaghan They find Canadas approval of commercial production of genetically modified Atlantic salmon eggs is an alarming decision that sets up Canada to be the source of global environmental risk. The Environment Canada approval, published on November 23 in theCanada Gazette, is the first government approval for the company AquaBounty. The company has asked for approval of the GM Atlantic salmon for human consumption in the United States, based on a plan to produce the GM fish eggs in Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada and ship them to Panama for grow-out and processing. The PEI facility already produces GM salmon eggs for research, which are shipped to the companys Panama location for further research and development. If fully approved for production and consumption, the GM salmon would be the first GM food animal in the world. Just last week, on November 21, an environmental group in Panama filed a complaint alleging that AquaBountys research and development of the GM fish, using eggs sent from PEI, was not in compliance with national and international environmental regulations. Leo Broderick of the PEI group called Islanders Say No to Frankenfish said: Were devastated that Prince Edward Island is now officially the home of the Frankenfish. We dont want our Island to be the source of this dangerous living pollution. We are extremely disappointed and alarmed that our government has approved the production of GM fish eggs. GM salmon egg production in Canada endangers the future of wild Atlantic salmon around the world. Its simply crazy that the worlds first GM fish eggs are now going to be coming from Canada. Its unacceptable that this incredibly important decision was made in total secrecy and without any public consultation. The Canadian Biotechnology Action Network has repeatedly asked Environment Canada, the Minister of the Environment, and AquaBounty to say if an assessment for approval of the GM fish eggs was underway. All parties refused to answer this question for public disclosure. This isnt the international image we want for our beautiful Island, said Broderick. For more information on the timeline and background of AquaBountys GM salmon, check outwww.cban.ca/fish Source: The Canadian Biotechnology Action Network (CBAN) is a campaign coalition of 17 groups including farmer associations, environmental groups, regional coalitions of grassroots groups, and international development organizations, all of which have various concerns about genetic engineering in food and farming. www.cban.ca/fish Facebook page Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist.

1	With just one game remaining in the NFL season, the field of championship contenders has been trimmed considerably. Over the next two weeks, we wrap up this season's pro-football coverage with continuing Super Bowl dispatches from Detroit. Turn to selfnews Sports for complete reports on sport's greatest spectacle, staged this year in one of America's most urban cities. selfnews Sports will be updating its Super Bowl XL coverage daily during the week, with an entirely new selfnews Sports page every Thursday as always. Report: Colts Poised For Biggest Upset In Super Bowl History DETROITCoaches, front-office executives, and players around the NFL all agree that an Indianapolis victory in Detroit next Sunday would result in the greatest underdog story in Super Bowl history, if not in all of sports. 'After losing to Pittsburgh in the second round of the playoffs, for the Colts to come into Detroit and beat themas well as the Seahawks, their nominal opponentthat would almost certainly be the comeback of the century,' said Bills general manager Marv Levy. 'No one would ever dare say that Manning or Dungy couldn't win the big one after that. Yes, it's a long shotthe longestbut with the Steelers and Seattle concentrating on beating each other, Indy is perfectly poised to come from literally out of nowhere to complete their all-time greatest triumph.' At press time, no member of the Colts would comment on the possibility of a Super Bowl victory, further fueling speculation of a colossal upset in the making. Bill Cowher's Jaw Arrives In Detroit Four Days Ahead Of Rest Of Steelers DETROITWhile the Steelers will not officially arrive in Detroit until Monday afternoon, Coach Bill Cowher's jaw made the short trip from Pittsburgh a few days early, arriving in Detroit Wednesday night with a small team of assistants to lay groundwork for the team's arrival and acclimate itself to Ford Field. 'Although it and Coach Cowher are inseparable on the sidelines, the jaw habitually travels ahead of him,' said Steelers communications liaison Tom Becker. 'We're used to it entering rooms 10 minutes before him, and believe me, just seeing the jaw coming irons out most problems. The jaw will just get things ready in Detroit while Bill spends time preparing with the team.' The jaw is unable to speak to the press without Cowher for reasons partially having to do with Steeler team policy, but it did make a point of jutting firmly and politely towards reporters upon arriving at its hotel. Shannon Sharpe Says Roethlisberger, Bettis, Cowher, Ward, Polamalu, Porter, Haggans, Logan, Staley, Kreider, And Place-Kicker Jeff Reed All Crucial To Steeler Victory DETROITAccording to NFL Today analyst Shannon Sharpe, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, halfback Jerome Bettis, and head coach Bill Cowher, as well as left tackle Trai Essex, defensive end Shaun Nua, centers Jeff Hartings and Chukky Okobi, outside linebacker Clark Haggans, assistant head coach Russ Grimm, and nose tackle Casey Hampton will all be key players in the Steelers' offensive and defensive attack in Super Bowl XL. 'If the Steelers want any shot at winning, they have to rely on the core of their offense, defense, special teams, and coaching staffincluding but not limited to wide receiver Lee Mays, right guard Chris Kemoeatu, punter Chris Gardocki, and conditioning coach Chet Fuhrmanto perform their given roles on this squad to the best of their abilities,' Sharpe said during his 'Difference-Makers To Watch Out For' segment. 'And let's not forget about Kirschke, Reed, Starks, Warren, Staley, Smith, Taylor, Logan, Batch, Frazier, Keisel, and Faneca. Any or all of these guys could have an effect on the outcome of this game.' Sharpe added, however, that top-notch performances by Seahawks X-factors Alexander, Hasselbeck, Dyson, Boulware, Babineaux, Hutchinson, Hackett, Mili, Wallace, Strong, Pruitt, Locklear, Koutouvides, and Jurevicious could potentially neutralize the Steelers' attack. Neither Team Concerned About Taking Super Bowl Crowd Out Of Game DETROITAlthough both teams are obviously being tight-lipped regarding the details of their game-day strategy, coaching staffs for both the Seahawks and Steelers admitted that they are not overly concerned about taking the Super Bowl crowd out of the game. 'Come onwith over 17,000 tickets given away by the NFL to its corporate partners, about 24,000 distributed among the sponsors and boosters of the other 30 NFL teams, and 3,400 tickets given to the city of Detroit itselfwhatever that meansit's not like a lot of them care what happens on the field,' said a Seahawks assistant who asked not to be named. 'Their team's fans get as many tickets as our fans, and there's a pathetic 1,000-ticket fan lottery,' but aside from that, if someone on the field does something good, people will clap. Honestly, I'll stick to worrying about Joey Porter.' An unscientific poll of ticket holders seemed to reinforce the unnamed assistant's comments, with 73 percent of those questioned mentioning 'Quality Of The National Anthem' as their primary area of interest. Steelers, Seahawks To Take Part In Rehearsal Super Bowl This Sunday DETROITPlayers and coaches on the Seahawks and Steelers have been notified that they must be present and in full uniform at Ford Field this Sunday, Jan. 29 for a full-length Super Bowl game rehearsal, which will be closed off to the media and general public. 'We want to do a complete run-through this weekend to get the guys adjusted to running the show in this stadium, account for any unforeseen problems with, say, the Ford Field lighting or the timing of certain complicated plays, and just generally make sure that everything goes smoothly and according to plan on the big day,' said NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue. 'We're going to do a dry run of the whole four-hour script to identify problems early, run each play at least once, and prepare some alternate scenarios to have ready in case the audience begins to lose interest.' All players have also been asked to bring five ideas for a group brainstorm to help punch up the storyline for their matchup. 
3	US Government Can Legally Access Your Facebook Data And Now We Know HowBy Alice Salles According to Facebooks Global Government Requests Report, governments requests for Facebook account data rose 27 percent in the first half of 2016. Facebooks official announcement explained that requests for user data went from 46,710 in the last half of 2015 to 59,229 in the first half of 2016. At least 56 percent of these requests, Facebook added, contained a non-disclosure order that prohibited us from notifying the user. Law enforcement agencies from across the globe, Facebook continued, often send restriction requests demanding Facebook remove content from its forums. Fortunately, these requests dropped substantially this year, from 55,827 in the last half of 2015 to 9,663 in 2016 an 87 percent drop. Most of the 2015 requests revolved around French content restrictions of a single image from the November 13, 2015 terrorist attacks. Additionally, Facebook used its report to disclose for the first time what the company does when law enforcement agencies request snapshots of a user account that might be relevant to law enforcement for undisclosed reasons. These preservation requests, as they are known, are requests to preserve data pending receipt of formal legal process. They are often processed by the social media website as snapshots, which are preserved temporarily. According to Facebook, the company does not disclose any of the preserved records unless and until we receive formal and valid legal process. In the first half of 2016, Facebook received 38,675 preservation requests regarding 67,129 accounts, a staggering number of requests. Further, Facebook insisted it does not give law enforcement any back doors to user information. Adding that requests are only fulfilled if they meet legal requirements or legal sufficiency, as Facebook puts it, they claim to apply a rigorous approach to every government request [they] receive to protect the information of the people who use [their] services, the company added. But this rigorous approach is not rigorous enough if reforms designed to avoid privacy overreach in America simply dont go far enough. Take the USA Freedom Act, for instance. The 2015 law was once supported by libertarian-leaning congressmen like Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI). Later, however, Amash criticized the bill after changes giving government more power were adopted. Mentioning the new rule by name, Facebook added that as a result of transparency reforms introduced this year by the USA Freedom Act, our report also contains additional information concerning National Security Letters (NSLs). NSLs are extraordinary search procedures that give the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) the power to compel the disclosure of customer records held by banks, telephone companies, Internet Service Providers, and others. They are extraordinary because detailed information can be surrendered without proper oversight, an issue that has led to countless cases of abuse. While NSLs are still being implemented, the gag order related to the procedure has changed. Now, the government goes to court to justify the gag order only if an NSL recipient notifies the FBI of its desire for judicial review in the first place. While the government bears the burden of immediately going to court and proving its necessity, NSLs give the FBI the power to bypass this important step. Explaining that the government lifted a gag requirement on one NSL issued in the second half of 2015, the company decided to publish it. Its unclear sure how many other NSLs Facebook has received. Facebook may promise to apply a rigorous approach to every government request that comes its way, but rigor may only be practiced within the boundaries of U.S. law. If the law fails to protect the users privacy by allowing agencies to use extraordinary procedures, your data is never protected, no matter how well-meaning companies like Facebook claim to be. According to Facebook, other government requests concerning imminent risk of serious injury or death are also granted on a regular basis. At least 3,016 of these requests were made in the first half of 2016. They targeted 4,192 accounts. Search warrants were produced in only 13,742 cases of request for data while only 781 others were backed by court orders.

The government can hack anything people do online and alter it, and isnt afraid to prove it either. My Facebook account never existed cuz I never signed up!! Id be careful if I were you. This probably puts you under extreme suspicion as a domestic extremist according to the FBI Paranoid Fantasy Play Book. Yes indeed. I must be up to something!! . no matter how well-meaning companies like Facebook claim to be. What LaLa planet is this statement coming from? Can we stop pretending Facebook is anything but a data collecting arm of the government? Its not like we havent known this for about ten years now. Fakebook was censoring me 8 years ago. It took almost 2 years to get out that web. Easy to get in, next to impossible to get out. Same with screwtube! Except they just kept locking me out of my channels.

3	Obama Admin Denies Saying No Boots on the Ground in Syria After Saying It 16 TimesBy Claire Bernish Setting aside his oft-parroted no-boots-on-the-ground imperative, President Obama announced Monday the U.S. would be quintupling the number of special forces troops deployed to Syria to fight Daesh (the so-called Islamic State). In fact, the announcement was made later on the same day Obama claimed to have ruled out the deployment of ground troops. Though this reneging on stated foreign policy has become somewhat par for the course, State Department spokesman John Kirby not only missed the hypocritical move, he flatly and bafflingly denied the Obama administrations repeated claim there would be no boots on the ground. In fact, instead of taking responsibility for initiating military maneuvers the public might find displeasing, the Obama administration has developed an apparent affinity for nitpicking semantics. In a press conference, this farcical denial of reality reached stupefying proportions when Kirby was asked by an Associated Press reporter about this stark reversal of policy. All emphasis has been added to highlight the absurdities. Im just curious if this is, like, part of some kind of devious grand strategy to say one thing and then do the complete opposite of it, the reporter queried. Pressing the point, the reporter expounded, For months and months and months, the mantra from the President and everyone else in the Administration has been no boots on the ground, and now That is not true, Kirby interrupted. What?! the reporter exclaimed apparently as baffled as the rest of the press, heard murmuring in similar disbelief around the room. Its just not true, Kirby persisted, appearing almost smug, leaning on the podium. Its just not true. Of course, it is true and Kirbys semantic gymnastics to justify such a brazen lie added an Orwellian twist to the already Kafkaesque press conference. And that truth is written in black and white even on the White House website, at least as far back as August 2013, when Obama stated: [I]n no event are we considering any kind of military action that would involve boots on the ground; that would involve a long-term campaign. On August 31, 2013, Obama asserted from the Rose Garden: After careful deliberation, I have decided that the United States should take military action against Syrian regime targets We would not put boots on the ground. Then, on September 10, 2013 once again, as found in print on the White House site he reiterated: First, many of you have asked, wont this put us on a slippery slope to another war? My answer is simple: I will not put American boots on the ground in Syria. On September 3, 2013, he again said: [The U.S. involvement in Syria] does not involve boots on the ground. September 9, 2013, brought the same statement from the president, in an interview with PBS Newshour: Tomorrow, Ill speak to the American people. Ill explain this is not Iraq; this is not Afghanistan; this is not even Libya. Were talking about not boots on the ground. Again, Obama repeated on September 7, 2014, as the Intercept noted: In Syria, the boots on the ground have to be Syrian. Though after the last statement, Obamas characterization of no boots on the ground began a subtle shift in language evidencing mission creep he sustained the narrative troops would not be deployed on the ground. At the White House on February 11, 2015, reported USA Today, Obama remarked: The resolution weve submitted today does not call for the deployment of U.S. ground combat forces to Iraq or Syria. Its arguable the United States populace could handle an honest statement outlining policy many may not agree with such as the deployment of boots on the ground if the plan were forthrightly presented. But for Obama and other officials to repeatedly claim as much, and to then have the State Department act as if the people, themselves, have collectively lost their minds when pointing out the mendacious gaffe, is downright laughable if not profoundly insulting. It has become clear the United States mission to fight Daesh with the secondary goal to oust Syrian President Bashar al-Assad will involve boots on the ground. But its questionable whether the Obama administration with ever manage to admit to as much.

Yep, full on Orwell at this point. The truth is more likely to be the exact opposite of what they tell us. Remember the Obamacare working group that said mandatory insurance laws meant more freedom for the American people? Hi blue.Looks like Orwell wrote the playbook-as-novel. Most of our required reading in school was programming us to create the future and here we are, watching it all play out as we create it in real time. Its not just the Lying Kirbys, were all dreaming this into being. The only way to shut it down is to stop creating it and create something else. All of us. I wish people would wake up to the fact we are all part of this, all responsible. The Bible functions the same way, using our beliefs to create Armageddon by telling us we are all sinners and deserving our fate, so we bring it on simply by believing it. Ha! Looks like I grabbed the podium from Silly Kirby Derby there for a second! Hey OldeSoul, good to see you around! Yes, absolutely spot on, the whole thing is predictive programming, you name it education, entertainment, religion, technology, art, yada, yada. I especially liked your description of what its like to realize weve been given the slow IV drip of propaganda conditioning all of our lives. You probably know Orwell and Huxley ran in the same elitist circles. I didnt know until a year or two ago that Huxley moved to Hollywood and was paid handsomely to write screenplays. He also was a key player in MK Ultra and was behind the recruitment of Tim Leary assisting the CIA in its creation of the psychedelic counter culture fusing it to cybernetics. Rabbit hole doesnt do it justice, ya think? Abyss? You got me with Kirby Derby. Hows the MT ranch scene going? Gotta love spring! Yes, it was most upsetting to learn all our heroes were cabal cowboys. Most of what you wrote I learned some time ago and it still pisses me off that it was all contrived: Elvis, Leary, Charles Manson (a clever CIA murder plot to put the final knife through the heart of the hippie movement) and rock-n-roll was scripted along with everything else. But you know what? I still love to listen to it, screw them. When I get a mild case of anarchy going, I listen to Crosby Stills, Hendrix, etc. just to remember what that felt like to be righteous. It was all for naught of course, but it was a fun psycho-naut while it lasted. MT is beautiful in the spring, thanks for asking. Getting ready for my annual mountain bike ride on the Going to the Sun Road in Glacier tomorrow a.m.. Its a 15 mile uphill grind through scenery that will knock your pants off, then a race downhill through avalanche and bear territory, followed by a cold beer on the river in the hot sun. Life is good. if you can stay healthy enough to live it fit and proper. See the teeny weeny people by the snow drift, right above the waterfall? Kind of puts life in perspective. I hope you are having some fun in whatever way floats your life raft. Elvis too, OMG! LOL My mom had a thing for him for awhile. Geez! I love Hendrix, Voodoo Child is out of this world as is SRVs version. I love Zeppelin too, esp. Pages performances and even though I know their history I still need a LZ fix once in awhile. Pink Floyd? I hope their tunes werent corrupted by the establishment. A lot of their lyrics speak to the awake masses and Gilmour is such a master. When I was in college the grunge bands were big but not exciting. I saw the Huxley Hollywood description on Wiki, hat tip to Jan Irvin et al from Gnostic Media for using FOIA requests to nail the MK Ultra link, worked out ~ 2 years ago. Youre a deep diving thinker OldeSoul, another indigo? Have fun on the Sun Road trip, sounds like the perfect combination of yin and yang, and a cold microbrew at the end of the course. Awesome! What a gorgeous pic, thanks, reminds me of images of people scaling the face of The Diamond on Longs Peak, a favorite area of mine to hike. Yeah, perspective is always good! Hey I complimented and thanked some pine trees today., felt like I was in Lord of The Rings. Gotta practice! Hi OldeSoul, replying below to your last comment, 3rd attempt finally went through using same wording. I went back and shortened my two replies waiting for approval. Apologies for any confusion. You may not get this either, who knows? I got this but dont see your longer reply anywhere. Ill check back later. Now its been deleted, as were the two edits saying thanks for the link. Strange, nothing controversial in my original reply, mostly a thank you. Ah. So Im guessing Mr. Mathis hits a lot of home runs out of the controller ballpark. Whenever my comments get banned for no obvious reason its usually because I got a little too close to the truth. Apparently they dont realize that tells us exactly what path to follow. Ive always gone by the notion that we are a lot smarter than a herd of reptiles and they keep proving me right. Speaking of black choppers busy elsewhere. I had one hovering over my house not long ago. My buddy is a fireman/EMR/SAR and since he works with all the rescue choppers in the area and had never seen this one before, he called in to central dispatch asking what was going on. The dispatcher told him they were looking for a guy who had escaped with a time machine. Huh? So they are real, they are spooky, and they have nothing to do but follow every paranoid thought they have like bloodhounds. I agree about the various clues of what to follow and picking up on the frames. Miles is a very good writer and his views resonate. I read his paper on A Beautiful Mind and John Nash intriguing for me on countless levels given my neuroscience understanding of schizophrenia; academic level readings on fMRI studies of neuroeconomics, a branch of economics merged with psychology designed to explore the biochemistry and brain architecture behind Game Theory; and a long held fascination with Kaczynskis story. I think Teds tale was best unwound in the documentary The Net, The Unabomber, LSD, and The Internet (available on youtube). You may already know that Kaczynski appears to have flipped when subjected to MK Ultra experiments at Harvard and then went on to figure out what kind of cage was being built for humanity. I also read Miles excellent analysis of a British television series with Stephen Hawking and his Brave New World. What a load of BS Hawking is trying to shill! Sounds like a parody or Sat. Night Live skit. The absurdity always amazes me. Miles made a few small errors though and coincidentally one had to do with Huxley, who Miles believes, along with Orwell, had good intentions and was trying to warn humanity. Great reads, I appreciate the tip! To return the favor Ill direct you to redefininggod (dot) com, an interesting site to explore published by a blogger by the first name Ken. He started analyzing the bankster cabal doing remarkable work and then branched out into some far out ruminations much of it is good food for thought. I was pretty sure youd sink your teeth into a few of Miles many topics. Ive been picking my way through them going on two years now. I am also fascinated by John Nash, Stephen Hawking and the Unibomber looks like we share a mutual interest in crazy geniuses. Miles, in fact, is probably a crazy genius. If you get a chance, look at his art. Hes also some kind of math wizard and has a whole slew of writings about math fakery, etc. although I avoid math at all costs so I havent delved into that part of his head. It appears the common thread throughout his essays is how the CIA enlists and uses people with all types of talent, intellect, and skills to further their nefarious plans. Yep, I know Ken at Redefining God, were old buddies. Hes a very good dot connector although he has a few notable blind spots. I remember in particular a long time ago he got very upset about David Icke, said he agreed with everything David said except the lizards. I thought this was pretty funny at the time since how can a person be right about everything except for the one thing that holds all the other things in place? I think a lot of people have reluctantly climbed onto Ickes Flying Space Lizards bandwagon over the years, perhaps even Ken! I will check in with him and see how hes doing. Thanks for that! Im probably closer to Kens view on lizards since we dont have good tangible evidence. Plus Im always mindful of TPTBs use of fear based control and layered narratives to create confusion. Like Armageddon, aliens would be a good way to get a large segment of the population to sit on their hands why fight it? Intelligence infused narrative on aliens = Mind job that was always my gut feeling. Cathy OBriens Trance-Formation of America described a psy op of lizard alien holograms used to brainwash and intimidate. When the pope makes a public statement he will welcome aliens and baptize them, you know something is up! LOL Nothing surprises me anymore, one way or the other but there are a lot of people who we need on our side who will dismiss easily proven conspiracies such as geoengineering, vaccines, NWO technocracy, 9/11, etc. if were insistent on more nebulous issues. Anyway, fantastic you know Ken! Hes having personal issues with SOTT and ZH as you can see from his most recent post. I dont go to SOTT but do scan ZH often and theyve been downright egregious with their disinfo lately and a lot of the smart folks who used to call them out dont seem to be around, here too. We both know the art of the infowar involves attrition, wearing people down. Hey, pass along my heartfelt thanks to Ken. See ya on the bright side of the moon, Olde Soul. I really love to hear your take on things. Youre a very deep thinker. I used to think of myself that way, always probing for the concealed meaning in everything, overly analytical, using my prodigious curiosity or so I thought of it, to seek the truth of things. Through the practice of shamanism and animal communication, I learned to let go and let the truth seek me. In other words, relax and let the truth reveal itself. Then (and only then) can you live it. This actually works. Then you get to a place where youve uncovered all the dirt of the world, the pedo-creeps and corruption and lies, you are able to release the idea that you have some control on these things, which you dont because they are not yours. You cannot fight the matrix, you have to leave it. Then you are freed to create a different reality. I think this is the part of the journey you have not reached yet, but Im sure you will once you have come to that fork in the road. I think the reason I kind of like the idea of the FSLs is due to gnosticism where they are first described. This is where Icke and John Lamb Lash discovered them, and then you start looking at archeological, mythological and ancient writings and the stupid creatures pop up everywhere. I had several personal experiences with them myself, as did my very grounded twin flame, so I no longer labor wondering whether they are fabricated or not. Instead, I realize how ridiculously easy they are to beat. Nike gave us that clue: just say no, and they go. No fear reaction is necessary, its that easy. Its the people who say to them,Yes, give me everything I want and Ill do what you want who control the world. Really and truly, they only the control their world, not yours, not mine. We are powerful beings, blue. We have unlimited abilities to do things we are taught are impossible. We can create magic every day and spread all that magic around to others in your life. At first people think youve lost your mind, but if you remain firmly grounded to Gaia, she is the truth, and soon they come to realize you have found your soul and they long to find theirs too. This is how we change the world, one lost soul at a time. Thank you for sharing that and I largely concur in terms of learning and teaching how to move away from it. My general take is we can do both personal growth and broad teaching. Perhaps like Zen, I have an inner voice that reminds me why I am here, a place and time I would not have chosen if not to help make the shift for others in a unique way. As for aliens, I know there is a psy op component found in bogus alt media venues (e.g. S. Stone, even Thrive) and mainstream (Ancient Aliens beautifully debunked) that fits the agenda. I also believe we are hardwired to re-create our archetype fears, whether its cultural mythology (Joseph Campbell), nightmares and daymares (me as a young child deconstructing organized religion) or some form of art (the role of the Id in The Forbidden Planet). As a long time student of the many branches of evolution I fully acknowledge our 3-layered brain which includes the ancient reptilian vertebrate base. This has to be something thats deeply recognized going back to the earliest humans. Who knows? Ive discussed this at great length with someone who could also be considered my twin flame and he has had several experiences with these beings in conscious altered states, one was recreating birthing patterns for hours in a float tank. He says he doesnt know if these beings are real and with degrees in psychology understands the slippery slopes the mind can wander on to these images came to him after he became aware of the ideas of Icke, etc. I am very open to a greater understanding and thanks again your perspective. I agree, there is definitely a huge psyop component with aliens, disclosure, etc. Steven Greer, who even looks reptilian, shapeshifts his way through lectures for instance. Then there is Carol Rosin and her descriptions of Werner Von Brauns list of the psyops they had planned for us way back when, Im sure youve heard her talk on this, its Wake Up 101. Then we have the Corey Goode/David Wilcock tag team its almost laughable at times and you have to stand back and ask WTF am I looking at? It smells like another globalist problem/reaction/solution script for sure, but I think they are only stealing the thunder from the many multidimensional beings around us, all while using their technology and pretending it was all invented by humans, while scaring people about a potential alien invasion, even though theyve been telling us aliens dont exist. Thats a lot of opposing spinning plates to hold in the air at once and I dont theyre doing a very good job of it. Throw in manipulated genetic evolution and you have hybrid humans (us) which makes a lot more sense than descending (always loved that derogatory term) from apes via a missing link that isnt really missing and never was. Interesting that we both have twin flames isnt it? Like him, the times I was approached by the FSLs were in altered states, what would be more accurately called vulnerable states. Each time I shooed them away like the pests they are and I could hear them laughing hysterically as they flew off, sounding like a bad laugh track from an old sitcom. The laughing was a huge clue for me- they are losers, cannot create a single thing themselves, and need humans to do all their creative labor. (This was all covered by the gnostics.) I have zero regard for them and Im always aware of keeping my vibration high enough that they do not approach me again. Which reminds me, the other day I was meditating and talking to my guides and one of them revealed, You really want to know the truth of things? You volunteered to be a contestant in a virtual reality matrix game, think Survivor Earth. This particular game is called Free Will. Youre doing great so far! Are they real? One must first answer the question- What is real in a virtual reality matrix? Feel free to answer that one! anything.zero.zip.nada. Yeah, except I didnt need George Carlin to tell me that. I believe nothing my government tells me I think the quote is how right he was . by no boots he ment boots. you dont get it yet right. the opposite is right This man is mk ultra brain washed . His brain does not live in our collective reality Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. On three noble ideals be ever intent: David Icke coined this as the surreptitious totalitarian-tip-toe as a fascistic/ militaristic ingress by the 0.001% NWO $$$ billionaire/trillionaire parasities Like I said, Glass slippers, a fairy story from the chief fairy, no boots on the ground!

OMG I just checked the status of my explanation to your reply. It seems its still pending. lets see what ultimately happens to it. Perhaps the other commenter was correct in his labeling of selfnews Post? Perhaps the shill rag Raw Story has an affiliation? We will have our answer in a few hours/days, no? then it will be time for unsubscribing en mass. The comment had NO foul language, is historically correct and has active links to corroborating sites. I know it is an old saying but. How do you tell when the effing POS in the WH and his islamic diseased advisors are lying? Their lips are moving. Surely we understand Obamas position by now. It is quite clear that he advocates for the destruction of ISIL, but not for an involvement in a Syrian civil war. While we keep hearing no boots on the ground being thrown around by those challenged by Myopia, in the end, what other way would eventuate the defeat of ISIL at their last stronghold? Do you expect Obama to order the complete annihilation of an entire city and surrounds? If you have an educated brain, may i suggest you use it more wisely. Satisfy your own paranoia.. does a narrative that denies what it would have been like with a USA v Syria v Russia civil war just happen to suit you? Well, it turns out Obama was right, wasnt he! I see you buddy! 
3	Liberty, Freedom, and the Attack On the USS LibertyRand Clifford One might say that liberty is the freedom to obey the rules. Folks taken to task for social improprieties sometimes say: Hey, its a free country. People who might know better if politics didnt stink them up often say: America is spreading freedom and democracy. Benjamin Franklin knew better, but that didnt stop him from saying that people willing to give up freedom to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one. Land of the free, home of the brave. In his speech to the Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775, Patrick Henry concluded with, Give me Liberty, or Give me Death! So lets go from here with the term, liberty. The worlds most sophisticated intelligence ship, the USS Liberty was a $40,000,000 Signals Intelligence platform (SIGNIT) with a crew of 294. About 6 am local time, an Israeli reconnaissance plane spotted the USS Liberty just outside Israeli coastal radar. Throughout the day, more Israeli reconnaissance planes flew out and orbited the ship at least eight times altogether. Meanwhile, the flight officer who originally spotted the ship teamed with an air-naval liaison officer at Israeli air force headquarters, and they consulted Janes Fighting Ships. At 11:00 am they identified the ship as the USS Liberty. At 2 pm Israeli fighter jets attacked the USS Liberty, initially targeting the command bridge, communications antennas, and the four .50 caliber machine guns placed to repel boarders. After those fighters spent their ordnance, consecutive new waves engaged, adding napalm to the rocket and 30 mm cannon fire. Intense radio jamming contributed to stifling the Libertys calls for help to the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean. Thirty-five minutes into the air attack, fighters disengaged. Three Israeli torpedo boats closed in for a surface attack, launching five torpedoesone struck the Liberty opposite its research spaces. The torpedo boats then moved up and down port and starboard, raking the ship with cannon and machine gun fire, targeting anyone who came above decks, destroying firefighting equipment and life rafts. The Libertys defenseless crew eventually patched different systems together and got a distress message through to the Sixth Fleet. The USS Saratoga and USS America both launched fighters to aid the Liberty; the message for them to destroy the attackers upon arrival was sent clear (not encrypted). The torpedo boats suddenly broke off their attack and began radioing the USS Liberty, asking if she needed assistance. An Israeli naval officer notified the US Naval Attach at the embassy in Tel Aviv, and apologized for Israeli forces mistakenly attacking an American ship. Then for the first and only time in our history, rescue aircraft were recalled before arriving at the attack site. So, 17 miles off the coast of Gaza, after eight hours of aerial surveillance, Israel attacked the USS Liberty for two hours, killing 34 and wounding 173. Besides the torpedo and napalm damage, 861 holes the size of a mans hand and larger were counted, plus thousands of .50 caliber machine gun holes. The SIGINT platform was so damaged the ship never again sailed on a mission. The USS Liberty was sold as scrap for $102,666.66. Israel freely acknowledged that the ship was American, had remained in international waters; and claimed they never made positive identification before attacking. Secretary of State Dean Rusk sent a letter to the Ambassador of Israel stating that we expected them to take disciplinary measures as required by international lawand that was it. There were no disciplinary measuresat least not in Israel. Closing off the affair was a rushed and phony American inquiry into the attack, plus threats to surviving crew members of court-martial, imprisonment, or worse if they exposed the truth. Perpetual pressure from the pro-Israel lobby in our country has kept this the only serious naval incident never to be investigated by Congress. The only oneand to this day no surviving crewman has been allowed to officially and publicly testify about the attack. Richard Helms, CIA Director in 1967, later wrote in his memoirs, there could be no doubt that the Israelis knew exactly what they were doing in attacking the Liberty. In 2005, a request was issued to the Secretary of the Army, as Executive Agent for the Secretary of Defense, regarding investigation of war crimes committed against U.S. Military personnel, on behalf of the USS Liberty Veterans Association, Inc. High-level intrigues trumped the request, kept the top-secret lid welded over the truth. What happened to the USS Liberty seems an excellent metaphor for what is happening to the liberty of Americans. Though torpedoed by the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012), the Constitution still floats. Will it be sold as scrap, like the USS Liberty? The NDAA torpedo, with its warhead of provisions regarding indefinite military detention of anyone, without charge, nearly blew away the Bill of Rights. A green light for government to disappear American citizens? Sure, suspicion of some kind of connection with a terrorist group is a requirement for being disappeared, but the suspicion can be anything, even nothing but a whimeven nothing at all. Evidence? We dont need no stinkin evidence! The bottom line of the NDAA, beneath all the specific and carefully-worded incoherence: If there is something the government does not like about a citizen, whatever rights they mightve still had are gone. But just when it seemed the Constitution might sink in terms of protecting citizens from corporate government out of control, good news floats from the courts, blocking the NDAAfor now at least, pointing toward future missions? With such extensive damage, perhaps the only hope for the USS Constitution is dry dock, massive repairs, and further protection by the courts. Meanwhile, Congress and the Obama administration keep circling the remains.

2	Donald Trumps Past Comes Back To Haunt Him, This Could Be The End Ever since Donald Trump took the lead of the GOP polls, liberals and Republicans alike have been trying anything to take him down. In the most recent attack, a New York Times story from 1927 resurfaced, suggesting that Fred Trump (Donalds father) was arrested during a Ku Klux Klan riot. The article lists Fred as one of several taken into custody during a free-for-all between police and 1,000 klansman. The article was first discovered by Boing Boing , who clarified that the article does not necessarily indicate that Trumps father was a member of the organization. Rather, Fred was arrested in the near-riot of the parade but was quickly discharged. It is likely he was simply a common bystander. The incident occurred years before Fred became a self-made millionaire. Trump has denied the incident, calling the story ridiculous. He was never arrested, Trump claimed. He has nothing to do with this. This never happened. Its a completely false, ridiculous story, Trump continued. Thinkif it had, he would never have been able to get licenses in New York for anything associated with his business, with construction. This is just bizarre and untrue. What do you think? Could the name in the story just be a coincidence, or is Trump hiding something? 
3	36 Signs The Media Is Lying To You About How Radiation From Fukushima Is Affecting The West CoastMichael Snyder #1 Independent researchers have measured alarmingly high levels of radiation on the beaches of the west coast. For example, the video posted below was taken on December 23rd, 2013 at Pacifica State Beach. As you can see inthis video, radiation levels near the water are up to five times higher than normal background radiation #2 According to Oceanus Magazine, the total amount of cesium-137 that has been released into the Pacific Ocean from Fukushima is 10,000 to 100,000 times greater than the amount released into the oceans by the Chernobyl disaster or by the atmospheric nuclear weapons tests of the 1960s. #4 71 U.S. sailors who assisted with the initial Fukushima relief efforts have developed serious diseases such as testicular cancer, thyroid cancer, Leukemia, unremitting gynecological bleeding and brain tumors since that time as a result of exposure to radiation coming from Fukushima. #5 Something is causing starfish all along the west coast of the United States to literally disintegrate into piles of white goo #6 Bald eagles are dying in unprecedented numbers in Utah, and nobody can figure out why this is happening #7 Huge numbers of dead birds are dropping dead and washing up along the coastlines of Alaska. It is being reported that many of the carcases of the dead birds are broken open and bleeding. #8 The recent deaths of thousands of birds in Oregon is absolutely baffling scientists. #9 Something is causing large numbers of seals and walruses up in Alaska to lose hair and develop oozing sores. #10 Substantial numbers of polar bears along the coast of Alaska are suffering from fur loss and open sores. #11 There is an epidemic of sea lion deaths along the California coastline. #12 The population of sockeye salmon along the coastlines of Alaska is at ahistoric low. #13 Something is causing Pacific herringto bleed from their gills, bellies and eyeballs. #14 Dangerous levels of cesium-137 have been discovered in mushrooms and berries grown along the west coast. #15 According to an absolutely shocking report put out by the National Academy of Sciences, it has been proven that Pacific Bluefin tuna have transported radioactive material across the entire North Pacific Ocean #16 Something seems to be causing a substantial spike in the death rate forkiller whales living off of the coast of British Columbia. #17 Experts have found very high levels of cesium-137 in plankton living in the waters of the Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and the west coast. #18 One test in California found that 15 out of 15 Bluefin tuna were contaminated with radiation from Fukushima. #19 Back in 2012, the Vancouver Sun reported that cesium-137 was being found in a very high percentage of the fish that Japan was selling to Canada #20 An EU-funded study concluded that Fukushima released up to 210 quadrillion becquerels of cesium-137 into the atmosphere. #21 One very experienced Australian adventurer has stated that he felt as though the ocean itself was dead as he journeyed from Japan to San Francisco recently #22 It is being projected that the radioactivity of coastal waters off the U.S. west coast could double over the next five to six years. #23 The deputy chairman of Russias State Duma Committee for Natural Resources, Maxim Shingarkin, says that seafood captured off the northwest coast of the United States is so radioactive that it represents a danger for mankind #24 According to one recent scientific report, radiation from Fukushima could affect our seafood for many generations and ultimately kill more than a million people #25 The Japanese government has estimated that approximately 300 tons of highly radioactive water is pouring into the Pacific Ocean from the destroyed Fukushima nuclear facility every single day. #26 A senior researcher of marine chemistry at the Japan Meteorological Agencys Meteorological Research Institute says that 30 billion becquerels of radioactive cesium and 30 billion becquerels of radioactive strontium are being released into the Pacific Ocean from Fukushima every single day. #27 According to Tepco, a total of somewhere between 20 trillion and 40 trillion becquerels of radioactive tritium have gotten into the Pacific Ocean since the Fukushima disaster first began. #28 According to a professor at Tokyo University, 3 gigabecquerels of cesium-137 are flowing into the port at Fukushima Daiichi every single day. #29 It is being projected that significant levels of cesium-137 will reach every corner of the Pacific Ocean by the year 2020. #30 It has been estimated that the entire Pacific Ocean will soon have cesium levels 5 to 10 times higher than what we witnessed during the era of heavy atomic bomb testing in the Pacific many decades ago. #31 The immense amount of radioactive material being released into the Pacific Ocean from Fukushima has caused environmental activist Joe Martino to issue the following warning #32 The Iodine-131, Cesium-137 and Strontium-90 that are constantly being released from Fukushima are going to affect the health of those living in the northern hemisphere for a very, very long time. Just consider what Harvey Wasserman had to say about this #33 Outdoor radiation levels at Fukushima recently hit a new all-time high. #34 According to the Wall Street Journal, it is being projected that the cleanup of Fukushima could take up to 40 years to complete. #35 Yale Professor Charles Perrow is warning that if the cleanup of Fukushima is not handled with 100% precision that humanity could be threatened for thousands of years #36 There are very alarming reports that new unexplained plumes of radioactive steam are rising at Fukushima. Japanese officials are not able to get inside and see what is causing these plumes. Some are speculating that the crisis at Fukushima just got a whole lot worse. The following is from a recent Ecologist article If a full-blown meltdown does happen at Fukushima, it would be an environmental disaster unlike anything that we have ever seen before in human history. As we enter 2014, we are entering a time when the world is becoming increasingly unstable. The global economy is being shaken, political corruption is seemingly everywhere, evidence of advanced social decay is all around us and the earth itself is starting to groan and crack with increasingly regularity. But the mainstream media continues to insist that everything is going to be just fine. That is one of the reasons why I wrote my new novel. The American people deserve to hear the truth and be warned about the great challenges that are rapidly approaching. In the end, millions upon millions of people could end up getting seriously ill as a result of all of this radiation coming from Fukushima. Most of them will never even know why they have gotten sick. It would be hard to overstate just how serious all of this is. But you wont hear about this from the mainstream media. Their story is that everything is okay and they are sticking to it. So what do you think? Please feel free to share your thoughts by posting a comment below About the author: Michael T.

3	Multiple Chemical Sensitivity: Victims of a Toxic CivilizationDaisy Luther Sometimes even worse than having a mysterious illness is the fact that no one in the medical profession believes that you have this illness. Or, still worse than that, they dont believe that the illness even exists. Imagine being desperately ill and having your doctor tell you that its all in your head. Imagine being so incredibly ill that you are wasting away in front of your familys eyes, and having your physician prescribe you psychiatric medications. Imagine that in your search for answers, you spend every penny you have and you still dont have a diagnosis. Imagine being poisoned by your food, your air, your dentist, and the very medications that are supposed to be helping you. Imagine being a victim of an instant-food, good-smelling, clean-looking toxic society. A devastating condition called Multiple Chemical Sensitivity is unrecognized by the American Medical Association. Victims suffer from an array of symptoms including nausea, fatigue, dizziness, headaches, mental disorientation, inflammation, skin rashes, joint joint pain, gastrointestinal problems and respiratory problems. Conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, atypical connective tissue disease after silicone breast implants, chronic hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), drug-induced autoantibodies/hepatitis (liver toxicity), illness while living near a toxic waste dump site, dental amalgam disease, MTBE (methyl-tert-butyl ether, a gasoline additive)-associated symptoms, [and] inflammation of the lungs caused by diesel exhaust particles are related to, or overlap with MCS. (source) MCS is the result of such a vast chemical overload that a persons bodily functions begin to shut down. Because it is not recognized by the medical profession, research is limited. Since the answer is the avoidance of chemicals instead of the introduction of more chemicals (pills) Big Pharma has a vested interest in keeping this a non-diagnosis. According to Dr. Mercola, many of the chemicals that we are exposed to on a daily basis never leave our bodies, but accumulate in fat and bone marrow. He writes: The sheer number of toxic chemicals that you are exposed to on a daily basis is truly staggering. With some 100,000 different chemicals being used throughout the world, and 1,500 or so more being added each year all without any major oversight or testing for safety until after the fact is it any wonder that youre not as healthy as you should be? The number of toxic chemicals is so large, addressing them all would be an impossible mission, but I believe being an informed and vigilant consumer CAN help you keep your toxic load as low as possible, even if it may be impossible to cut your exposure to zero. After all, theyre everywhere; in your air, water, soil, food supply, and in a vast majority of the personal care, household and yard products you use on a regular basis. Today, theyre even in the circuitry boards of the electronics you surround yourself with. Some of the sources of toxins you have control over. Others, you dont. (Click HERE to read Dr. Mercolas tips on avoiding chemical overload) Recently I wrote an article called The Great American Genocide, in which I discussed how the toxins we are exposed to on a daily basis are making us sick, setting up our children for infertility, and inevitably bringing us to an early death. I received an email from a victim of these toxins who has lost everything. I am republishing here (with permission) because its time that we, as a society, stop putting our fingers in our ears and singing Lalalalala in an effort to drown out the stories from victims like this. My name is Kim and I have had direct horrible life trauma due to environment and chemical poisoning because of what is being done in this country. About 11 years ago I was eating a burger from McDonald and cracked a back molar on a piece of bone in the burger, that tooth had previously been fixed with an amalgam (mercury) filling. Well after it broke it didnt really hurt and I didnt have insurance so I never got it fixed. About a year later I starting having what I was told was panic attacks and anxiety issues (I much later found out that was not the issue). After about 5 years of dealing with progressively worse anxiety it got to the point where I would randomly feel so ill I couldnt even leave the house. Finally in February of 2010 I woke up one day and felt like someone punched me in the stomach. It was so horrible and I just couldnt shake the pain I saw my doctor multiple times and they told me it was all anxiety related. I realized after about two weeks of being so sick I could barely move with constant panic attacks that it would get worse every time I ate. So I immediately switch to something that would not upset my stomach like yogurt and bread. I ate just that for months all the while my doctors were telling me it was all in my head and there was nothing wrong with my stomach. Over the last 3 years my diet varied slightly but as things got worse I was basically limited to a diet of white rice and chicken noodle soup (without the chicken) for the last two years. I saw 28 doctors in this time period who diagnosed me with all kinds of issues (all of them stemming from the root cause but no one able to tell me what that was) Not only was I actually having allergic reactions to food, not panic attacks, but I started having them to touching things and smells as well. In January of this year I finally found a doctor that knew a little bit about what was going on with me and put me on many supplements which have helped a lot. Right before I found that doctor I spent 4 days in the hospital because I couldnt breathe (especially while trying to have a BM) and after they checked my heart they told me I was fine and to leave the hospital. When I begged the doctor not to make me leave because I knew I would die the doctor told me to go see a psychologist because there was nothing wrong with me. Just this last Thursday I finally found an alternative medicine doctor/integrated medicine doctor that gave me all the answers I was looking for. After some tests I found out a few things: It will probably take years to rebuild my stomach, fix my teeth, clean all the mercury out of my body, and eliminate all the toxins, etc but at least now I know what is going on and Im on the right track. Unfortunately, my out of pocket medical costs have bankrupted my family literally since we were just evicted and are now living in a hotel with two of our four daughters. With that said I have made it my personal mission to destroy everyone and everything that contributed to this issue from the bad food we so unknowingly consume, the products we use daily that are filled with cancer causing agents and other harmful products, the western medicine doctors that trying to treat all symptoms with a pill instead of fixing the root cause of the issue, etc. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences defines MCS: The preferred medical term is Idiopathic Environmental Intolerance (IEI), which can be defined as a chronic, recurring disease caused by a persons inability to tolerate an environmental chemical or class of foreign chemicals. The site lists the following criteria for a diagnosis: To avoid being poisoned is to be labeled a kook, the one at office parties and family events who brings their own food, the target of sighs and eye rolls. It is being the one who makes her own soap and cleaning products. It is being that person who avoids so many of the things that are part of everyday life in America that she becomes an outcast. We, in the civilized world, seem to be intent on being complicit in our own demise, paying our hard-earned money to inhale toxins and pollutants, to consume chemical concoctions instead of food, and to slather poison on our bodies to be introduced into our systems through the pores in our skin. Whether you believe this is deliberate depopulation or careless disregard in the pursuit of the almighty dollar, there is little question that we are all victims of a toxic civilization. This is our future, and no amount of cognitive dissonance, no loudly stated refusal to believe it, will make it go away. Credit: Thank you, Kim, for sharing you story.

1	Beloved veteran actor Tom Bosley, star of Happy Days and Father Dowling Mysteries, was appointed U.S. Secretary of Naps Tuesday. 'I think the American people can be comfortable with Mr. Bosley's solid record on napping,' President Clinton said. 'He will serve our nation's napping interests well.' Bosley's platform includes a 20-minute snooze at his desk during daylight hours, an occasional dozing-off toward the end of the day, and prolonged weekend lie-downs at home in the early evening hours, when, Bosley said, 'I tend to get really sleepy.' 
3	Al Qaeda Terrorists Pass US Special Forces, CIA Agents on Way to SyriaTony Cartalucci NATO is the chief executor of the so-called War on Terror, started in 2001 after Al Qaeda terrorists allegedly flew four passenger planes into various targets on Americas east coast, including the World Trade Towers and the Pentagon. Nearly 3,000 people died in a single day. The invasion of Afghanistan promptly followed based on the pretense that it was harboring members of Al Qaeda. The invasion and nearly decade-long occupation of Iraq followed shortly thereafter. Yet despite all of this, Turkey, a NATO member since the early 1950s, appears to be guilty of the very crime Afghanistan was allegedly invaded and to this day still occupied for, harboring Al Qaeda terrorists. An army of Al Qaeda is (and has been for nearly 3 years) using southern Turkey as a safe-haven and staging ground for the invasion of Syria disingenuously portrayed by the Western media as a civil war. Worst of all, these terrorists, literally carrying Al Qaedas banner into battle, are passing CIA outposts, US, British, and French special operations training camps, and through Western-funded refugee camps, on their way to commit a wide array of atrocities along and within Syrias borders. This defies all explanations except one the War on Terror is a fraud, and the very terrorists thousands of Western troops have died chasing across the planet, have been armed, funded, trained, propped up, and reconstituted by the West itself as a perpetual excuse to engage in global aggression, occupation, and wars of immense profit in both terms of wealth and geopolitical power. Hundreds of al-Qaeda recruits are being kept in safe houses in southern Turkey, before being smuggled over the border to wage jihad in Syria, The Daily Telegraph has learned. The network of hideouts is enabling a steady flow of foreign fighters including Britons to join the countrys civil war, according to some of the volunteers involved. These foreign jihadists have now largely eclipsed the moderate wing of the rebel Free Syrian Army, which is supported by the West. Al-Qaedas ability to use Turkish territory will raise questions about the role the Nato member is playing in Syrias civil war. Turkey has backed the rebels from the beginning and its government has been assumed to share the Wests concerns about al-Qaeda. But experts say there are growing fears over whether the Turkish authorities may have lost control of the movement of new al-Qaeda recruits or may even be turning a blind eye. Of course, the Telegraph is plainly deceiving its readers. The use of Al Qaeda as a militant proxy against Syria is not an unpredictable and unfortunate result of the ongoing Syrian conflict, but instead a well-documented Western plan exposed as early as 2007 by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Seymour Hersh in his article, The Redirection, which 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. Clearly, the only thing NATO, Turkey, and the Western press have lost control of, is the narrative used to deceive the public. The New York Times in their March 2013 article titled, Arms Airlift to Syria Rebels Expands, With C.I.A. Aid, admits that: With help from the C.I.A., Arab governments and Turkey have sharply increased their military aid to Syrias opposition fighters in recent months, expanding a secret airlift of arms and equipment for the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad, according to air traffic data, interviews with officials in several countries and the accounts of rebel commanders. The airlift, which began on a small scale in early 2012 and continued intermittently through last fall, expanded into a steady and much heavier flow late last year, the data shows. It has grown to include more than 160 military cargo flights by Jordanian, Saudi and Qatari military-style cargo planes landing at Esenboga Airport near Ankara, and, to a lesser degree, at other Turkish and Jordanian airports. The New York Times piece attempts to spin Americas role in arming militants in Syria. The Times continues by stating: The American government became involved, the former American official said, in part because there was a sense that other states would arm the rebels anyhow. The C.I.A. role in facilitating the shipments, he said, gave the United States a degree of influence over the process, including trying to steer weapons away from Islamist groups and persuading donors to withhold portable antiaircraft missiles that might be used in future terrorist attacks on civilian aircraft. Just like the Telegraph, the Times is overtly lying to its readers. So-called Islamists constitute the summation of armed aggression against the Syrian government specifically because the plans outlined by Hersh in 2007 are now being executed by the CIA, within NATO-member Turkeys territory, along the Turkish-Syrian border. Western Special Forces are Training Al Qaeda Terrorists In addition to the CIA, Western special forces are also operating along and within Syrias borders. A June 2013 LA Times article titled, U.S. has secretly provided arms training to Syria rebels since 2012, admitted: CIA agents and special operations troops have trained the rebels in anti-tank and antiaircraft weaponry in Jordan and Turkey. The LA Times continued: CIA operatives and U.S. special operations troops have been secretly training Syrian rebels with anti-tank and antiaircraft weapons since late last year, months before President Obama approved plans to begin directly arming them, according to U.S. officials and rebel commanders. The covert U.S. training at bases in Jordan and Turkey, along with Obamas decision this month to supply arms and ammunition to the rebels, has raised hope among the beleaguered Syrian opposition that Washington ultimately will provide heavier weapons as well. So far, the rebels say they lack the weapons they need to regain the offensive in the countrys bitter civil war. Al Qaedas Al Nusra front has established itself on Syrias battlefields allegedly because of its martial prowess, in contrast to the bumbling moderates allegedly trained by US special forces. How is it possible that the West, along with their regional partners, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar, are arming, funding, and admittedly training armies of moderates, and yet Al Qaeda has still managed to prevail? Who is arming, funding, and training them? The answer is simple there were never any meaningful moderates despite ham-handed attempts by the Western media to insist otherwise, and the West is intentionally assisting Al Qaeda, just as was planned in 2007. Thousands of Western troops have died, and are still dying in the so-called War on Terror. Many more have been maimed and/or psychologically effected. Evidence suggests that there was no lapse between US backing of Al Qaeda in the 1980s in Afghanistan and today and that even as US troops fought on in Iraq, the West and its partners in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Israel were arming and funneling terrorists into the country to fuel sectarian violence designed specifically to set up the strategic assets necessary for a covert/proxy war versus Iran, Syria, and Lebanon. Tony Cartaluccis articles have appeared on many alternative media websites, including his own at 
2	Obama Offers Different Theory On Killing Of Muslim Students In North Carolina You Will Be Disgusted According to reports, President Obama finally spoke out about the murder of three Muslim students at a condominium complex in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The three students were shot to death by their neighbor Craig Stephen Hicks, over what police believe to be a dispute over a parking lot. Despite the conclusions drawn by authorities, Obama recently suggested that the motive may have been a hate crime instead. No one in the United States of America should ever be targeted because of who they are, what they look like, or how they worship, Obama claimed in his speech on Friday. Michelle and I offer our condolences to the victims loved ones. As we saw with the overwhelming presence at the funeral of these young Americans, we are all one American family. Obamas comments aligned with accusations from the Muslim-American community who claim that the crime was more likely one motivated by a hatred of Islam. All honest Americans, theyre all herewhite and black, and all colors and shapes. So lets stand upreal and honestand see what these three children were martyred about, Mohammad Yousif Abu-Salha, the father of two of the victims told reporters. It was not about a parking spot. Surrounding neighbors have told investigators that Hicks was an angry man who has gotten into previous disputes over parking. Now, he is being charged with three counts of first degree murder. Authorities are investigating whether the murders should be charged as a hate crime. What do you think? 
1	HUNTSVILLE, ALIn the seven months since she got herself knocked up, graphic designer Amy Glennon, 27, has been walking around the Calendarz, Inc. office acting like the Queen of Sheba just because she's pregnant, coworker Stephen DeGrassio announced Monday. Glennon opens a bunch of baby crap at the baby shower everyone had to go to. 'Amy thinks she's Big Miss Important,' DeGrassio said Monday. 'She's behaving like a total priss. It's like, 'Ooh, look at me! I'm pregnant! I'm gonna have a baby!' Hey, calm down. People have babies all the time.' DeGrassio and Glennon have worked together at Calendarz for three years. In spite of the proximity of their workstations, the two have found few common interests. According to DeGrassio, Glennon's way of 'walking around like she's a member of the founding board of Calendarz' ever since she got pregnant has not brought the two any closer together. 'Amy goes on and on about food now,' DeGrassio said. 'She's all hung up on folic acid or something. I told her, 'Hey, if you lose this one, it's not like you can't make another one.' C'mon, it's a joke. Lighten up.' DeGrassio also expressed annoyance over the special treatment Glennon has received ever since she proved her ability to lay on her back and get nailed. 'Last week, she asked me to get some food out of the fridge for her,' DeGrassio said. 'She said she didn't want to have to bend down to dig in the bottom drawer. Please! When I sprained my ankle, I didn't have people wait on me hand and foot. Christ, what a joke.' Glennon has updated coworkers on every stage of her pregnancy and provided them with full reports on each of her visits to the obstetrician, because that's exactly the sort of thing people are interested in hearing about when they're trying to sell some goddamn calendars. 'So she had an ultrasound,' DeGrassio said. 'Big whoop. It's a non-invasive medical procedure. I could get one if I wanted, and I'm not even a lady. It's just a black-and-white smear, and she's got it pinned up there like it's a goddamned Sears Christmas portrait.' Of course, Glennon had a baby shower last week and everyone in the office was invitedhow gracious of her. 'Her friends sold the baby shower so hard,' DeGrassio said. 'They were all like, 'We play games and open presents'as if I don't know what a shower is. I'll tell you what it is: four hours of chattering and cooing over stuff from Target. I always give the same gift when I go to one: a pair of overalls. But everyone acts like it's the Bicentennial fireworks display.' As the blessed event approaches, DeGrassio admitted that he's having a hard time playing along when Her Royal Highness makes him feel the baby. 'Every time that thing moves, Amy freaks out,' DeGrassio said. 'She came up to me the other day, grabbed my hand, and put it on her stomach. She kept asking me if I could feel it kick. Does the baby get to feel me kick? I'm sorry, that was too much, but this is making me crazy.' DeGrassio said that, while he understands why the pregnancy might be exciting for Glennon, he looks forward to the day when the baby is finally born, already. 'Her due date is April 23, and it can't come fast enough,' DeGrassio said. 'Of course, once the damn kid finally pops out, I'll have to sit through all the stories about breastfeeding and its first steps. I guess the only way I'm ever going to get a word in edgewise at this office is if I knock up some skank.' 
1	MOSCOW (Sept. 3)In response to the ongoing hostage situation at a middle school in the town of Beslan in North Ossetia, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin firmly reiterated his nation's hard-line policy against terrorists and their hostages Tuesday. Russian troops prepare to storm the school. 'Russia does not tolerate terrorism,' Putin announced at a press conference. 'We deal with terrorists swiftly and completely. This is a warning to terrorists, hostages, rescue workers, bystanders...all those involved in terrorist activities: You will be shown no mercy.' The situation in the southern Russian town of Beslan began Wednesday when armed multinational terrorists stormed a small school on the first day of classes, taking more than 1,200 teachers, children, and parents hostage. Now, on the third day of the conflict, Russian security forces await the command to terminate the standoff. 'The Russian government will not accede to the terrorists' demands, nor will it be swayed by hostage pleas for mercy,' Putin said. 'Without the parents and children as hostages, the terrorists would be powerless. Anyone who assists terrorist monstersin any capacityis an enemy to the Russian people and will be treated as such.' Putin first publicly announced the country's anti-terrorist stance in October 2002, when 40 Chechen terrorists seized a crowded Moscow theater, taking more than 700 hostages and demanding the withdrawal of Russian forces from Chechnya. In accordance with Russia's zero-tolerance policy, government forces from Russia's elite Spetsnaz commando unit of the Federal Security Service pumped an aerosol anaesthetic into the theater, killing all of the terrorists and 128 of the hostages. 'The Moscow theater crisis was a perfect example of my willingness to do everything necessary to battle terrorists,' Putin said. 'As prime minister, my first job is to keep the Russian people safe. Terrorists want to destroy Russia, but we will not let them. Make no mistake: Terroristsand those who happen to be near themwill meet with a swift, terrible end.' Although Russian laws limit press coverage of terrorist incidents, citizens who do know about the ongoing crisis have applauded Putin's hardline stance. 'To ensure the stability of our country, we need to take a firm stance against terrorists,' said Tamara Dmitriyevna, a professor at Rostov State University. 'Yes, we can play intellectual games and draw parallels between Putin and Stalin, but any citizen who is not currently being held hostage will tell you that there is an openness and an honesty in Russia that never existed before. Citizens are not being killed secretly anymore.' Although many international leaders have criticized the Russian government's position, President Bush released a statement commending Putin for his leadership in the war on terror. 'The enemies of freedom have no friend in Vladimir Putin,' Bush's statement read. 'He goes to any means necessary to protect his people and make the world a safer place. As the world knows, you are either with us or with the terrorists. God help those who are with the terrorists.' 
1	Saying he could barely recall anything about the inescapable aloneness of individual existence, recent liberal arts graduate Jonathan Snyder confirmed Monday that he had already forgotten roughly 90 percent of the human condition. Ive only been out of college for a year and a half, but Im having a really tough time remembering the first thing about humanitys desire for deeper meaning and purpose in all pursuits, said Snyder, who has not once plumbed the depths of mankinds capacity for both good and evil since receiving his degree. When I first graduated, I could easily explore how the ultimate mysteries surrounding life and the inevitability of death torment humankind across its myriad endeavors. But I guess thats the sort of skill you lose if you arent using it constantly. Snyder went on to add that his liberal arts education wasnt totally wasted, as he consistently remembers that God doesnt exist. 
3	Research: Gulf Shrimp Widely Contaminated With CarcinogensSayer Ji, Contributor Since the event, both the mainstream media and the government have acted as if the oil disappeared, and that no significant health risks remain for the millions still consuming contaminated seafood from the Gulf.* Now, a new study published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives has revealed that the 2010 BP Gulf oil disaster resulted in widespread contamination of Gulf Coast seafood with toxic components from crude oil.1 In fact, levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in shrimp were found to exceed the FDAs established thresholds for allowable levels [levels of concern (LOCs)] for pregnant women in up to 53% of Gulf shrimp sampled. PAHs are well-known carcinogens and developmental toxicants, which is why the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is obligated to set risk criteria and thresholds for allowable levels of exposure to them.** The authors discovered a glaring discrepancy between the FDA Gulf seafood risk assessment (FDA 2010a) and the FDAs own prior practice with risk assessment guidelines produced by other authoritative entities. The FDAs risk assessment was found to be seriously flawed because of the following six questionable assumptions: The questionable assumptions include six main issues: a) high consumer body weight,b) low estimates of seafood consumption, c) failure to include a cancer risk assessment for naphthalene, d) failure to adjust for early-life susceptibility to PAHs, e) short exposure duration, and f) high cancer risk benchmarks. Taken together, these flaws illustrate a failure to incorporate the substantial body of evidence on the increased vulnerability of subpopulations to contaminants, such as PAHs, in seafood. Their final conclusion was as follows Environmental risk assessment requires the use of scientifically founded assumptions and appropriate default estimates about the exposed population, the intensity and duration of exposure, and the doseresponse relationship. The risk assessment methods used by the FDA to set safe exposure levels for Gulf Coast seafood after the oil spill do not incorporate current best practices and do not protect vulnerable populations. The FDAs conclusions about risks from Gulf seafood should be interpreted with caution in coastal populations with higher rates of seafood consumption and in vulnerable populations such as children, small adults, and pregnant women. Our analysis demonstrates that a revised approach, using standard risk assessment methods, results in significantly lower acceptable levels of PAHs in seafood and identifies populations that could be at risk from contaminants in Gulf Coast seafood. Health advisories targeted at high-end consumers would better protect vulnerable populations such as pregnant women, women who may become pregnant, and children. Our approach did not address infant exposure to PAHs via maternal seafood consumption and lactational transfer. The NRC (2008) found up to 50-fold interindividual variability in cancer risk and recommends incorporation of estimates of uncertainty, as well as population risk distributions, into future risk assessments. Improved public health protection from contaminants in food will require reforming FDA risk assessment practices. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that the FDAs conclusion that there are no significant risks to Gulf populations from oil spillrelated contaminants in seafood are incorrect, and reckless when it comes to the health of the most vulnerable populations. With reports now surfacing in mainstream media outlets on the appearance of eyeless shrimp and mutant fish, this latest finding probably only scratches the surface of a health problem in the Gulf titanic in proportions. 1 Seafood contamination after the BP Gulf oil spill and risks to vulnerable populations: a critique of the FDA risk assessment.Environ Health Perspect. 2012 Feb ;120(2):157-61.

2	Disturbing Video Shows Woman Dragged Screaming Into Subway By Refugees [VIDEO] As President Obama continues to deny that refugees pose little threat to American citizens, were seeing violence escalate around the world at their hands. Were all for lending a hand when it makes sense, but now is not the time, and attacks like these cannot be ignored. Recently, Pamela Geller posted this bone-chilling video with the following message: I have not independently confirmed that this is Cologne but my source is good. The fact is with the enemedia and quisling politicians providing cover for these savages, we have to do the reporting ourselves. Citizen journalism. It is crucial in the war in the information battle-space. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. We arent willing to turn a blind eye, are you? 
1	Uttering an audible sigh of frustration as he noticed the franchises name in the classified ad, unemployed Detroit resident Chris Segel, 34, reportedly expressed disappointment Friday upon realizing the job opening hed been considering was with the Lions. Aw man, I was actually excited about this, but just when I got my hopes up I saw its for the goddamn Lions, said Segel, who dejectedly confirmed after scanning the listing a second time that the facilities management position was definitely at Ford Field with the Detroit Lions. I mean, I guess Im applying anyway because its a job and I need one, but Christ, this market really is fucking brutal if this shit is all thats left right now. At press time, sources reported Segel was eagerly looking into a possible job opportunity with Detroits sanitation department. 
3	More Alleged Moderates Join ISIS/Al-Qaeda - Bring TOW Missiles With ThemBrandon Turbeville Harakat Hazm, propagandized to the American public as the face of the moderate rebellion in Syria has been the recipient of a large quantity of American weapons in the past including TOW anti-tank rockets and other arms. According to mainstream outlets like the Daily Beast, Harakat Hazm was one of the few terrorist organizations actually trusted by the White House, hence the heavy amount of weaponry provided to them by the Pentagon. As funding for the death squad forces began to dry up, the story goes, the beleaguered fighters were forced to join ISIS in order to stay alive in their fight against the secular government of Bashar al-Assad and their alleged fight against al-Nusra (ISIS/al-Qaeda). The truth, however, is that Harakat Hazm is nothing more than another branch of the jihadist extremists such as ISIS, al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, and the FSA. Even more so, Hazm functions more as a funnel of weapons provided by the West at taxpayer expense to the very terrorist organizations that the Western public is constantly propagandized to fear. Since Hazm is represented to the public as moderates, they are able to act as the public face of the rebellion, while the true recipients of weaponry go to their intended target ISIS, et al. It is thus important to remember the Washington Post article from 2014 entitled, U.S. Backed Syria Rebels Routed By Fighters Linked To al-Qaeda, where the US news agency attempted to describe how al-Nusra fighters were able to capture large amounts of weaponry from Harakat Hazm in the village of Khan Subbul in November of last year. The Washington Post reported that, Among the groups whose bases were overrun in the assault was Harakat Hazm, the biggest recipient of U.S. assistance offered under a small-scale, covert CIA program launched this year, including the first deliveries of U.S.-made TOW antitank missiles. The groups headquarters outside the village of Khan Subbul was seized by Jabhat al-Nusra overnight Saturday, after rebel fighters there surrendered their weapons and fled without a fight, according to residents in the area. [] Harakat Hazm, whose name means Steadfastness Movement, had also received small arms and ammunition alongside non-lethal aid in the form of vehicles, food and uniforms from the United States and its European and Persian Gulf Arab allies grouped as the Friends of Syria alliance. Scores of its fighters had received U.S. training in Qatar under the covert program, but it was also not possible to confirm whether any of those fighters had defected to the al-Qaeda affiliate. While it is certainly true that, because of the mentally deranged nature of the fundamentalist terrorists belonging to these various groups, there are a number of violent conflicts that take place between them as they vie for power or quibble over disagreements in religious minutia, it is also true that the implied apocalyptic battle between Nusra and Harakat Hazm presented by mainstream outlets like the Washington Post never actually took place. As one can read from the passages quoted above, the so-called moderates who just happened (another convenient coincidence) to be the same so-called moderates who were the biggest recipients of U.S. assistance were allegedly confronted by Nusra and surrendered their weapons and fled without a fight. In other words, the U.S. provided these groups with a massive amount of assistance that was subsequently given to al-Nusra. While the mainstream media will present this as the result of a complicated battle situation, the truth is that it was nothing more than a conduit to provide arms to terrorist organizations whose public relations skills may not be as developed as the US State Department would hope. Lastly, it must be pointed out that Harakat Hazm should not be considered the biggest recipient of U.S. aid, since Harakat Hazm is simply one division of the whole that has been receiving billions of dollars of U.S. aid and equipment as well as other relevant assistance since at least 2010. In the end, the alleged al-Nusra/Harakat Hazm battle, when correctly understood in its proper context, should be viewed as nothing more than a carefully constructed cover story for the re-arming of Al-Nusra and other relevant Western-backed death squad forces. Thus, with the recent disbanding of Harakat Hazm and the blending with al-Qaeda/ISIS forces, al-Qaeda/ISIS forces are now the beneficiaries of fresh new batches of relatively sophisticated weaponry and TOW anti-tank missiles. It is thus very likely that Harakat Hazm has only ever existed for the purposes of plausible deniability on the part of NATO and the United States as they continue to arm, direct, and facilitate cannibals and caliphs running rampant across Syria and Iraq.

2	Chris Kyles Urgent Message About Obama Just Surfaced A new video of the American sniper Chris Kyle has surfaced, of the hero warning about Obama. The footage is taken just before his death in 2013. I dont know exactly what hes doing, but I know hes definitely against the Second Amendment, and hes trying to ban everything, Kyle states, referring to Obamas gun control efforts. Good luck. Because Ive talked to a bunch of the cops and the Secret Service guys. Theyre not going to dare go to anyones house [to confiscate weapons], especially if they know they have guns. They dont want to be knocking on doors. Thats just opening the door so you can start taking more of our rights, the former Navy Seal continues. It was started by our Founding Fathers, and they had the same weapons the military did. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is Chris Kyle spot-on in his assertions?

3	Time to Pay Attention In the Last 48 Hours, Humanity Just Moved to the Brink of World WarBy Claire Bernish Indeed, though a few analysts still dismissively liken the tensions to so much blustery rhetoric, a growing number contend obstinate U.S. posturing about Russian aggression hasnt been taken so lightly by President Vladimir Putin and his rapidly amassing allies. Additionally, it now seems the U.S. has backed its incessant finger-pointing with the subtle language necessary to undertake what could best, if ironically, be termed a defensive first strike. While full-scale nuclear war might indeed be an outside possibility at this early date, the specter of full military engagement is quickly materializing on several fronts. To understand how we arrived so near this precipice, a series of events and statements over the previous month should be considered contextually with those of the last two days. After officially accusing the Russian government on Friday of attempting to influence the presidential election by hacking into and leaking documents from the Democratic National Committee servers which, despite fast efforts to save face, undoubtedly tarnished the reputations of party members and nominee Hillary Clinton President Obama offered an alarming statement Tuesday giving that accusation sharp teeth. There are a range of responses that are available to the president and he will consider a response that is proportional, White House spokesman Josh Earnest, quoted by Reuters, told media aboard Air Force One. It is certainly possible that the president can choose response options that we never announce. Speculation on an unnamed option largely centered around some form of cyber response, given the original accusation of hacking however, it must be noted, two years ago the Obama administration deemed hacking an act of cyberterrorism and an utmost security priority terrorism being of critical relevance given the ongoing war against it. Notably, U.S. officials have previously asserted cyber attacks, in some cases, could elicit a military response. Without unassailable proof the Russian government hacked the DNC, any putative response by the U.S. proportional or not, cyber-oriented or not would inherently be an aggressive first strike. Given the dispute over definitive evidence tracing the hack to Russia, any follow-through could conceivably be considered an act of war and/or terrorism. As such, an actual response of any nature has been posited unlikely however, in consideration of last weeks belligerent remarks by U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, downplaying the potential for a response could be foolhardy. The strategic resolve of our nation, the United States, is being challenged and our alliances tested in ways that we havent faced in many, many decades, Milley told attendees of an annual meeting of the Association of the United States Army. I want to be clear to those who wish to do us harm the United States military despite all of our challenges, despite our [operational] tempo, despite everything we have been doing we will stop you and we will beat you harder than you have ever been beaten before. Make no mistake about that. Milley went on to note Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran have revised their own doctrines and are rapidly modernizing their military today to avoid our strengths in hopes of defeating us at some point in the future. Quoting an unnamed senior Russian official, Milley advised Russia can now fight a conventional war in Europe and win. Whether or not Russian military would wind up fighting in Europe could be an entirely moot issue, as NATO has been amassing thousands of troops in Eastern Europe under the premise of protecting nervous nations from possible invasion. That assemblage of troops has been cited by Russia as posing an aggressive nuclear threat which officials from the U.S. and its allies have laughed off as absurd. Across the Atlantic, were refreshing NATOs nuclear playbook to better integrate conventional and nuclear deterrence, to ensure we plan and train like wed fight, and to deter Russia from thinking it can benefit from nuclear use in a conflict with NATO, U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter stated September 29. Russian Foreign Ministry officials responded by reiterating the perception of American aggression, as quoted by the Washington Post, Carters statement means that if Russia comes under attack from U.S. allies, the Americans will be ready to back it and threaten to use their nuclear weapons against us. We would like to think that Washington understands the meaning of such statements and their possible consequences for international security and stability. On Tuesday, a startlingly broad recommendation published in Znak, Russian state officials and government workers were advised to immediately pull family members from study abroad programs or any other endeavors in Europe to return to the motherland. Translated by Zero Hedge and cited by Znak, political analyst Stanislav Belkovsky albeit noting the controversy of the recommendation said, in part, this is all part of a package of measures to prepare the elites for some big war even if it is rather conditional Also on Tuesday, Putin abruptly canceled a planned trip to Paris over the unraveling situation in Syria. Russia also issued two altogether unambiguous admonitions last Thursday, stating continued U.S. endeavors in Syria could lead to all-out war. I would like to caution Washingtons colleagues to carefully consider the possible consequences of such plans, said Russian Major General Igor Konashenkov in a statement, adding, I remind U.S. strategists that air cover for the Russian military bases in Tartus and Hmeymim includes S-400 and S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems, the range of which may come as a surprise to any unidentified flying objects. Observers rightly focused on the latter portion of the previous statement as a warning to the United States that Russia would not hesitate to strike first, ask no questions later since it would be justified in defending ally Syrian President Bashar al-Assads troops in a sovereign nation by request. However, the second warning after the U.S. bombing of Assads troops in mid-September flared contention constitutes, in actuality, the greater portent. Konashenkov, as Underground Reporter noted, made clear Russia has a number of servicemen and aid workers in several communities in Aleppo, and that any strikes on territories controlled by the Syrian government will create a clear threat to Russian citizens. Dropping all pretenses, he added, I am warning anyone, that after the U.S.-led coalition jets bombed positions of the Syrian government forces on September 17 in Deir ez-Zor, we will take all necessary measures to prevent other American mistakes against the Russian military or other military facilities in the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic. China, which had originally intimated support for Russia over the U.S. quest to oust Assad, has fomented its alliance in recent days. According to one analyst, there is no question that there is correlation, coherence and coordination between Russia and China on the Syrian issue. Russia has similarly indicated it would back China over the intricate territorial dispute in the South and East China Seas, particularly in defense against meddling by the United States and its ally South Korea who will shortly deploy the U.S. Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) amid contention from both rival nations, as well as its citizenry. Although THAAD ostensibly could only be deployed in a defensive capacity, China and Russia criticize its proximity to the Chinese border as an act of direct aggression. On Tuesday the two nations announced plans to hold their second joint anti-missiles drill in 2017. According to a nationalist outlet cited by Reuters, Chinese Major Gen. Cai Jun stated, The United States blind development of anti-missile systems that exceed demand and its search for absolute unilateral military superiority inevitably damage global strategic equilibrium and gravely harm major powers strategic trust. * * * One article could not do justice to the multi-fronted, labyrinthine conflict as it now stands, but with the current situation described by some as more dangerous than even the Cuban Missile Crisis which nearly drew the U.S. into the first nuclear war it would perhaps be advisable to focus on swiftly-unfolding international news rather than exhaustively debating lesser-evilism. As former Soviet Union leader and Nobel Prize-winner Mikhail Gorbachev cautioned Monday, I think the world has reached a dangerous point. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Thanks to Obama/Hillary foreign policy. Obama/Hillary = Satan This pos activists post blocks Free speech. Bathhouses Barry and lesbian Clinton Merkel are filthy treasonous scumbags and all their disgusting puke supporters. If war against the bankster military hegemon was looming then why did Obama transfer control over internet protocols to ICANN, Hillary back the transfer of classified military tech to Russias Skolkovo along with other cutting edge tech from Silicon Valley, and the banksters OK the addition of the yuan to the IMF SDR = the gestating proto-global currency?? Russia can now fight a conventional war in Europe and win. Absolutely nuts and absurd brinkmanship rhetoric given Russian billionaire oligarchs have their wealth and family members ensconced in the west, living in the lap of luxury. Not only that, but Russia and the rest of the world are in no financial shape to wage war. Russia has nearly spent all of its wealth fund and in a year or so is expected to have to dip into pensions and other national social funds to meet its budget. Au contraire, war has a way of rehydrating dry national treasuries, at least while the war is being fought, .afterwards? Afterwards true, big caveat. Yes, I understand and you have a pointexcept the new economic system being created by the usual suspects is not capitalism, its resource based with all the resources under the deep capture of multinational corporations and international bodies such as the UN. I realize you dont agree with using an internationalist lens. Although, in my experience the more information I have sourced and verified the clearer this paradigm becomes and I ALWAYS use a falsifiable approach to data gathering as it is part of my professional training i.e. I deliberately look for solid information that will counter my theses. BTW, there are some economists who say the notion that wars bring economies out of recessions or depressions are lopsided, mistaken, or misconceptions. Its always a shell game, anyway. Oh, with the lying crooked media were stuck with these days its much more important tocreate tall tales about and try to discredit Trump as much as possible as opposed to telling the citizenry about something asunimportant as the criminal warmongering neocons trying to start a war with Russia over Syria. Heres something else the ethically challenged lying mainstream media has blown. Trump by a landslide in November Over a US election? Are you serious? I dont think theyre playing, I think the elites really want a world war. Sorry Im fed up with the negative lets stop it! Youll have to kill the elites to do that. World war III will help them to fulfill multiple agendas and solidify power. If people were smart, theyd take out the elites would have done so already. Being stuck in a world war will drain everyones resources, kill many, many people, and mean everyone left will be weaker and less able to fight the elites. Martial law will also be in place all over the damn world! Perhaps weve waited to long on this, but it seems most didnt seem to think of going after the elites directly. This is going to be a mess if it does come to a world war Lying trash no solution !! An 82 year old pundit ponders: Were a WW3 to break out, only one power group might benefit. Should missiles start flying back and forth, the populations of Russia and the US would be most effected, and who might that benefit, you may ask? Well, International Zionism, thats who, as they have an agenda of world domination, first through economic control, and then much later, after a reduction in world population by dictatorship and slavery through a New World Order. The only real obstructions to this NWO move are Russia and the remaining sane, conservative, sovereign minority in the US. The folks in power in the US have been mulling over various ways to disenfranchise (castrate) these folks, but always face the problem of the 100,000,000+ gun owners. A nuclear false flag, followed by Martial Law is, Im reasonably certain, one possibility. WW3 would seem like over-kill to coin a phrase. Perhaps a false flag pandemic, with mandatory vaccination, and some sort of martial control might also be in the works. I see probings in some of these directions. Needless to say stock up on Hoppes, ammo, and good cleaning rags, as it disappears quickly. More than just Syria, Crimea, etc US became crazy after Putin, China and the BRICS when they try to move away from the Dollar Putin would have no problem launching preemptive nukes with zero warning. Obama might well want to leave office with the U.S. a smoking ruin. Be fearless and pure; never waver in your determination or your dedication to the spiritual life. Give freely. Be self-controlled, sincere, truthful, loving, and full of the desire to serveLearn to be detached and to take joy in renunciation. Do not get angry or harm any living creature, but be compassionate and gentle; show good will to all. Cultivate vigor, patience, will, purity; avoid malice and pride. Then, you will achieve your destiny. The latent Power underlying the whole system is LOVE, hence in His Love we exist, and we can only conclude that our home is in His Heart, since Love is an emanation of the heart not of the mind. It precludes all doubt that man, seeking admission into the Heart of God, must retire to the inner chamber of his own heart and, after entering into the innermost sanctuary, where none can enter but himself in the utter Stillness he may make obedience to God and feel the warm response from the Great Heart of His Being and perchance hear the Voice of the Father of his being, which would sound very small and still in the quietness of his sanctuary. The unethical MSM is actually trying to pull the U.S. into a confrontation with Russia AND China by saying whatever kind of things are necessary do that. We have Mr. Obama, (and most of the left) denigrating our military by dismissing its generals, allowing queers to serve in its ranks doing everything it can to besmirch its integrity and fighting ability. We have 98% of our Air Force on an island in Syrias territory, we dont even have enough pilots to fly these planes, we have Mr. Biden shooing his mouth off about our own cyber attack of Russia and moving out national readiness to DEFCON 3. Thats all in the NEWS! What more warning does an enemy need to take us out? Were supporting ISIS in Syria and even letting them come onto American soil through a non-vetting process.This is absurd! Syria means nothing to us! Lets get ISIS outta there and join with the Russians or whom ever to do so! Folks we are rapidly becoming the evil empire that Ronald Regan warned us about! Let us STOP this stupidity NOW! There will always be places to pick a fight but our military is in no position to do it at this point. And, for gods, sake, lets not tell the enemy what were gonna do! Let us build up and modernize our military to the point where we can take on ALL comers and have a change of actually winning. If were going to do something, dont announce it to the world first! Let us do it, not apologize and move on with nation building. Neither Hil-liar-ly nor Obama are the people to do that. Mr. Trump is! So, lets get this election over, MR. Trump in the oval office and these other pretenders outta the picture! 
1	Following the return of the NFLs regular officials, several smug replacement referees told reporters Tuesday about the abundance of missed calls last week, noting that since their dismissal not a single flag has been thrown for intentional midfield zone hands, personal clock interference, or roughing the line of scrimmage. People complained about us, but at least we knew the difference between personal punt conduct and fair coverage below the waist, said former umpire Bob Shoulders, adding that the narrow stripes on the referees shirts violated the NFLs minimum width requirement for lines on uniforms. I cant tell you how many times this weekend I saw international groundling called when there was a blatant eligible gunner wedge downfield on the touch-off, which should negate that penalty. And not once did I see a team receive an automatic out-of-bounds for failing to clear a path for the non-ball-carrier, Shoulders continued. Numerous other replacement referees pointed out that over three weeks of officiating they had a flawless record when it came to measuring point contact, and that not a single complaint had been filed about illegal hands breaking the plane of a defenseless fifth down. There had to be at least four or five reverse encroachment infractions missed in the Monday night game alone, said replacement head linesman Lynn Lawhorn, who reportedly turned off the Lions-Vikings game Sunday in disgust after noticing an unsportsmanlike shift go uncalled on the very first play. And to think people were all on our case because we marked a few hut down lines off by a hash yard or two. These other guys look like they completely forgot how to officialate, Lawhorn added. According to a poll of replacement refs, nearly 75 percent had no regrets about their turnover-time enforcement, while another 20 percent said that if they did anything wrong, it was ruling too strictly on ineligible face-mask substitutions. The vast majority surveyed claimed they did a far better job than last weeks officials at monitoring whether teams had too many players huddled around the Gatorade. Its just a little unfair is all, said former referee Jerry Frump, his voice seeming to register an air of superiority. We get vilified for maybe being a little too quick to throw our shoe at an offsize kickler or visiting the replay booth to see if the defense had too many fans in section 18, but then these guys come out hardly paying any attention whatsoever to turf thickness and nobody says a thing. Nearly all the replacement refs expressed some interest in banding together to make the NFL aware of how many penalties arent being called, but as of press time, they had failed to confer with one another before making a call to the league. 
2	What Hillary Clinton Just Said About The Paris Attacks Proves She Will Destroy America In the wake of the tragic events in Paris this past weekend, Obama and Hillary Clinton continue to prove their ignorance. Hillary recently claimed that we arent at war with Islam, but only with extremism. She has no understanding that the two go hand in hand. I think that you can talk about Islamists who clearly are also jihadists, she commented. But I think its not particularly helpful. She then suggested that the United States make Muslim countries part of our coalition. If they hear people running for president who basically shortcut it to say we are somehow against Isla, that was one of the real contributionsdespite all the other problems that George W. Bush made after 9/11when he basically said after going to a mosque in Washington, we are not at war with Islam or Muslims, she continued. We are at war with violent extremism. What do you think? Do we need a president who doesnt have their head in the clouds? 
2	Obama Is Furious After Sarah Palin Publicly Humiliates Him In THIS Epic Way Lately, it seems that the Obama administration has been set on controlling the way we view many traditionally American symbols. The most prominent of this is the flag. Most recently, the Obama administration made the controversial decision to raise the flag of a communist nation in the halls of the State Department. In fact, it seems that the administration is willing to honor almost everything except for the fallen military heroes who lost their lives in last weeks shooting in Chattanooga. Its interesting the Obama has not paid tribute he did after the shootings in Colorado and Connecticut. He hasnt even bothered to lower the flags. What do you think? Should we demand that the president pay tribute if he wont do it on his own? Is Obama the worst president weve had yet? 
1	Philip Morris, the largest manufacturer of tobacco products in the United States, released the first in a series of television commercials yesterday urging parents to take the time to educate their hipper, better looking, and more rebellious children about the dangers of smoking. 'If your child is idolized by other kids, always gets the girls, and has no patience or respect for authority figures, please talk to him immediately about cigarettes,' said the ad's narrator over a montage of Hollywood stars apparently smoking after intercourse. 'Parents need to keep an eye on their charismatic and persuasive children, who are at the highest risk of smoking at an earlier age, when it's most respected by their peers.' According to Philip Morris' new print-ad campaign running in Maxim and Sports Illustrated, it is unnecessary for parents to discuss the dangers of cigarettes with lame children who like board games, science, and their parents. 
3	Virtual life in the future MatrixJon Rappoport But it barely scratches the surface of the potential of the technology. The addiction of the viewer is a mere shadow of what it will be when he can live, for an hour a day, inside the news, selectively inhabit the environments, and experience what a non-human simulated anchor knows. That will no longer be television. It will be a full-on tactile ride in the river. The pixels of the virtual anchor will be built from the ground up, imbued with an inner sense of utter conviction, just as the perfect android is programmed to believe in the psyop called reality. Viewers will feel all the artificial emotions of this anchor, as they experience what he synthetically experiences. What about rebellion against the Virtual? Lets start here. The lid on rebellion is sealed through the distribution of pleasure. Force works, but in the long run pleasure is the greater method of control. Science fiction novels describe futures in which citizens access virtual experience to an extraordinary degree. The video games and holograms of today are stone wheels bumping along a dirt road by contrast. You want to be a star among star athletes? You can inhabit the mind and body of one. You can play the game as he does. You can live inside his body. You can feel what he feels, move as he moves, catch the overdrive of his extra reserve of adrenaline. You want to struggle to the top of Mt. Everest? Youre plugged in. Youre there in the cutting wind and snow, you feel the oxygen running out, hear the ice cracking, strain to peer through the fog, inch your way forward with every quantum of effort a human can musterand finallyyou arrive in triumph. Youre there, at the roof of the world. While youre in your crackerbox apartment. You want to sit in a richly embroidered carriage, as slaves carry you through the cacophonic sights, sounds, and smells of a crowded marketplace in Bombay, all the way to an emerald palace, where you suddenly find yourself in the dim high-ceilinged bedroom of the most famous and beautiful creature on Earth Pleasure. A million different ways. Todays technocrats strive and search to build the ultimate immersion event. Living in a time when this is possible, the overwhelming number of people will opt for pleasure, regardless of what happening in the outside world, regardless of who is running the world or how. Because they believe they are on this earth to choose pleasure over pain. Thats the pragmatic goal. Everything else is secondary. Theyll no longer need to imagine the life they want. They can choose from a full deck of virtual threads and live this one or that one in the blink of a connection. The actual planet and what it offers will become merely the default interlude between expertly simulated excursions. Eventually, some people will be able to enter these holo-experiences in a boiled down fashion. Theyll bathe in a ten-second trailer and absorb all the sensation and feeling in a flash. When they come back, they may not remember what took place, but theyll still bask in the afterglow. No thought required. Pleasure wins over pain. Thats how the formula will be presented to the mind. Choose one or the other. Nothing else exists. No principles, no basic freedoms. The familiar scene in a thousand TV shows and movies, where the suspect is arrested, and then the cops offer him an immunity deal to roll over on his bosses? On the level of the nervous system, this is the deal that is struck: Gain immunity from pain and confusion by the simple act of rolling over on yourself and choosing pleasure as your single ambition. This is what Pavlov was after in his experiments. The conditioned-reflex human. The missing piece he needed was the humans assent to a meal of pleasure as his sole and overwhelming choice. After that, everything follows. In his masterful 1986 novel, Count Zero, William Gibson describes an immersion in virtual life: And here is a brief exchange from Aldous Huxleys 1932 novel, Brave New World: The joys of endless shopping, buying, and consuming are merely an introduction to a far more extensive pleasure dome of the future, in which the notion that there is anything else becomes absurd. From an unfinished novel of mine, The Magician Awakes, here is a State medical doctor instructing his patient: The dynamics of mind control in a pleasure-oriented society are built on channeling pleasure and making it more absorbing. The shrinkage, as mentioned above, doesnt have to be radical because people have already brought it on themselves. Theyve glued themselves solidly to the five senses. Past and present US military experiments, using electromagnetic stimulation, to create soldiers who can function at high levels over an extended period on very little sleep, are just the rough beginnings of a technology that will be applied to civilian life. What is the best antidote to the addiction to virtual experience? The designers of the dystopian future are enlisting a small fragment of a human beings imagination to put him in an externally fashioned simulation. Give us just a bit of your imagination, and well do the rest for you. Whats called the suspension of disbelief in the theater is an imaginative act on the part of the audience: Yes, whats on the stage is real. Yes, Im here and Im involved. This is a clue to the titanic force that inherently exists in every human. Already, in 2013, we see it massively sacrificed on the altar of entertainment. They give us drama and we buy it. As opposed to inventing realities ourselves, full-bore. Imagination creates reality. The only question is: whose? Reality in modern civilization is a straight psyop. It surrounds us, even though the technology, by future standards, is primitive. The hook has been sunk; it needs to be removed. The psyop says: Experience THIS; feel it; then ask yourself whether you have the power to invent a more convincing world; the answer is no, isnt it; so just sit back, relax, and take it all in; you cant approach what we can do for you. The stakes are high. If you believe you cant exceed the power of the Reality Manufacturing Company, if you keep postponing the day when you become the artist beyond and against the System, then youre already prepped for the simulacra of the virtual future. The world is largely populated by the IS PEOPLE. These are the humans who accept and surrender, on many levels, to what already exists, without realizing that it comes to them as a package.

3	DC City Council Okays Marijuana DecriminalizationPhillip Smith But even after the mayor signs off, the measure will not become law until Congress has completed a required legislative review. That process could last into the summer. The Marijuana Possession Decriminalization Amendment Act of 2014 (Council Bill 20-409) removes the threat of arrests for the possession of less than an ounce and replaces it with a $25 fine, the lowest fine in any state that has decriminalized. In setting the fine so low, council members cited homelessness in the District and high poverty rates in areas of the city that have seen the highest numbers of arrests. Police still can, however, seize your marijuana and whatever you used to smoke it. And public use of marijuana remains a criminal misdemeanor punishable by up to 60 days in jail. This is a big step forward for our nations capital, as well as our nation as a whole. Clearly, marijuana prohibitions days are numbered in the United States, said Dan Riffle, director of federal policies for the Marijuana Policy Project, which supported the bill. We should not be saddling people with criminal records simply for using a substance that is less harmful than alcohol, Riffle said. Law enforcement resources should be used to address serious crimes, not to arrest and prosecute adults for possessing small amounts of marijuana. Neither the District nor any of the states can afford to continue criminalizing adults for marijuana possession. Council members heard the publics demand that marijuana arrests end and have passed model legislation that is one of the strongest marijuana decriminalization laws in the whole country, Smith continued. Mayor Vincent Gray should sign and ensure this bill goes to Congress for its review without delay. With every day that passes, more District residents lives are irrevocably harmed with these senseless marijuana possession arrests. Passage of the decrim bill is by no means the end of pot politics in the District this year. Two other marijuana-related bills are still before the council, one (Council Bill 20-467) that would seal marijuana arrest and conviction records and one (Council Bill 20-466) that legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana commerce for adults. And looming over the legislative activity is the DC marijuana legalization initiative, which is awaiting approval for signature-gathering from the Board of Elections.

2	Islam Is A Cult, Not A Religion, Country Outright Bans Islam In a very controversial decision, Angolan authorities have decided to ban Islam, which they reportedly consider a cult rather than a religion. Reports indicate that authorities see what Muslims are doing to people outside of their religion, particular in Africa, and are taking appropriate steps to prevent the same from happening in Angola. As a first step, Angolan authorities decided to destroy the mosque Zango, located in the urban district of Viana. The governor of Luanda Bento announced in a local radio spot that radical Muslims are not welcome in Angola. He also promised that the government is ready to take action where needed, including preventing the legalization of mosques. Regarding Islam, the legalization process has not been approved by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, Rosa Cruz e Silva, the Minister of Culture, told reporters. Therefore, all mosques would be closed until further notice. The closing of mosques has been made a priority by the government, in fact. The only two mosques in Luanda have already received a warning. 95% of Angolas population is Christian, with a quarter belonging to Protestant churches founded during the colonial period. This action is reportedly based on a desire to guard against the rise of the Wahhabi ideology, which is already creating havoc and destruction in Africa and throughout the world. What do you think of Angolas decision?

According to reports, Vonderrit D. Myers was shot by the police officer on Wednesday. While authorities report that Myers was shooting at the officer, a few witnesses claim that the teen was unarmed and therefore was racially profiled. Over 1,000 people have joined in on rallies scheduled in St. Louis to protest the series of shootings, resulting in nearly 8 arrests. Officers were also forced to used pepper spray to defend against demonstrators. Meanwhile, investigations into both incidents are underway. What do you think? Do you believe authorities that Myers had a gun and was shooting?

1	With the military's 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy set to be repealed, millions of closeted soldiers are rushing to get in their last ever sessions of extra-hot surreptitious sex, sources reported Monday. 'Ending 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' is a major step forward for the rights of all gay soldiers,' said a high-ranking officer who wished to remain anonymous. 'That said, there's nothing quite like the thrill of approaching a fellow soldier under the cover of night, undressing frantically behind an Abrams tank, and engaging in wild, forbidden intercourse knowing full well that you'll be kicked out of the military if you're caught. God. What a rush.' The high-ranking officer then quickly excused himself, claiming that he desperately needed to go check up on 'something inside those barracks.' 
1	Stressing that the small bit of housecleaning still needs to be addressed, Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez reportedly reminded his players Wednesday that he will be throwing out all unclaimed steroids left in the locker room refrigerator by the end of the day on Friday. Just wanted to let you guys know that any solution vials, tablet bottles, and topicals that are still left on the fridge shelves will be discarded at the end of the week, Gonzalez wrote in an email to the team obtained by reporters, adding that if players do not pick up their performance-enhancing drugs by then, he will assume they no longer want them. Some of these bottles of Winstrol have been sitting in there untouched for weeks, and were starting to run out of space. I want to get it all cleaned up before our next road trip so were not coming back to a mess. Please label such items or let me know if you still want them. Gonzalez reportedly concluded the message by stating that he expects whoever spilled testosterone cream all over the refrigerators bottom drawer to clean up after themselves.

3	Futurama Pimps Out Young Audience to MonsantoDaisy Luther One way to reach such a group would be through a fast-paced funny bit of light entertainment geared towards a slightly geeky, intelligent, and witty teen and young adult audience. A simple animated television program. Take the show Futurama, for example. Aired at different points on Fox, the Cartoon Network, and Comedy Central, this show is from the creators of the iconic pop culture hit, The Simpsons. Often messages that are destined to change our perceptions are subliminal. Not so with the recent episode,Leela and theGenestalk. (Aired on Aug 7, 2013) Subtlety is NOT really what theyre going for here. Synopsis: After a rare condition causes Leela to grow tentacles, she stumbles upon a secret genetic engineering facility. In this particular episode, the major character is Leela. She contracts a horrible genetic condition called squidification that causes her to erupt with tentacles all over her body. There is no cure her only option is to live with the tentacles or to have repeated surgeries (very expensive ones) that provide temporary freedom from the tentacles, although they will soon grow back. Or it could be one giant advertisement for the biotech industry, portraying them as heroes and the saviors of mankind and planet earth. Here are a few references let me know if these sound familiar: Momsanto: A floating genetic-engineering facility. It floats because if it were on the surface its experiments would be illegal. (source) Collasus: Because Mom considers ordinary beans tiny and pathetic, Momsanto spliced elephant D.N.A. into their chromosomes for added heft. Thanks to Leelas D.N.A. sample, the beanstalks started to have suction cups to keep them from collapsing. This unlocked a cheap, abundant source of nutrition for the worlds starving masses, which should make Mom a much richer woman. (source) Earth: (One world government, military and currency) Earths government is a planet-wide democracy Although frequently invaded by Alien forces, Earth seems to be a military power to be reckoned with Zapp Brannigan is responsible for protecting the world from various alien invasions as well as expanding Earths territorial claims. Much like American money, Earthican currency depicts presidents. (source) In the episode, Leela and the Genestalk, Leela is very much against genetic modifications and DNA experiments. She even tries to destroy the facility. In the end, wrapping things up in a warm and fuzzy fable-style ending, she changes her mind when she discovers that her squidification can actually be cured byyou guessed itgenetic engineering. Because Leelas tentacles and the DNA thereof have helped to modify the giant beanstalks that Mom is creating to feed the world, Mom rewards her by curing her squidification. Well, gee. Maybe genetic engineering isnt so bad after all. Its pretty clear that the makers of Futurama have sold out and Monsanto was the highest bidder. Selling out is the compromising of integrity, morality, or principles in exchange for personal gain, such as money. (source) I wonder what the going rate is to have a subtle brainwashing message inserted into an entire episode of a popular TV show viewed by a couple million people these days? This isnt the first time Monsanto got airtime on the show. In the episode called The Butterjunk Effect the butterfly derby contests were held at the Monsanto Yokel Dome and Monsanto is the sponsor of the Goofy Gophers Revue at Luna Park. Television is a very effective medium to change perceptions because of the very way it works on the human brain. Melissa Melton of Truthstream Media wrote: Type television and low vibrational energy into a search engine, and itll quickly return the fact that watching a lot of TV is like undressing your mind and submerging it into a bath of negative energy. TV effectively numbs the left side of your brain and renders you helpless to your right brain which is incapable of decoding and critically analyzing the information being presented to you. Essentially, you go on auto-pilot. Thus, everyone is put into a hypnotic state that author Wes Moore says, produces highly functional, mobile bio-survival robots. Theres a reason he dubbed television an opiate of the masses. TV programs us. We tune in, drop out and stop asking questions. Some of Krugmans more interesting conclusions from his 1969 TV brainwave research include: Your brain on TV, ladies and gentlemen. Its a basic form of mind control. (source) Meltons article provides links to an alarming amount of research that has been done for just this purpose to change the perspective of the audience. To brainwash you, to control your perceptions and to provide your opinions for you. (Check it out HERE its an absolute must-read!) Monsanto already deploys social media warriors to attack those who criticize them. They have created a propaganda website to provide GMO Answers. This company that wants to appear so benevolent hired an army of deadly mercenaries and is rumored to have even purchased the security company itself. With this in mind, is it any surprise that the most vilified company in the world today might use popular entertainment as a tool for targeting young people in the hopes of enhancing their tarnished corporate reputation?

1	The mysterious Candlelight Vigilante, a rogue mourner known for appearing alone in parks and town squares, lighting a single candle, and commemorating loss on his own terms, made his first public statement Tuesday night, speaking to reporters from a pay phone. Sometimes, when the system fails to grieve properly, a man has to take mourning into his own hands, said the notorious one-man memorializer, a stoic gravitas entering his voice as he broke a long-held moment of silence. I commemorate where others dont. If theres a church, synagogue, or hospital parking lot in need of a public outpouring of respectful concern, Ill be there. Nobodynot a community organizer or local pastortells me when to pay solemn tribute. At press time, witnesses reported the Candlelight Vigilante had appeared suddenly along the shoulder of a highway, removed an elaborate floral display from a military duffel, and placed it along the roadside before quickly disappearing back into the shadows. 
1	Ashamed CEO Myron Ullman III admitted to shareholders of the JCPenney Corporation Thursday that in the past year the company has sold only two fleece jackets and a single Scattergories game. 'While the jackets were purchased together as part of an end-of-winter buy-one-get-one-free deal, we still count that as two units sold,' said Ullman, noting the new figures corrected earlier sales projections, which had to be revised when a towel set believed to have been purchased at a Tulsa, OK location turned out merely to have been obscured by a stack of Levi's. 'This news may be disappointing, but with three Champion sweatshirts sold already this fall, fiscal 2012 is on track to be a year of substantial growth.' Ullman said things could have been worse, as an attempted return of the Scattergories game proved unsuccessful when the already-opened product was deemed ineligible for refund. 
3	Phoenix: Writing ContestAre Lian Do I write about my boyfriends and my drive across the country to catch David in Phoenix, after my boyfriend said to me, its a spiritual journey, we HAVE to see him? Or about how we hung around the parking lot on break, wondering how a man could speak for ten hours straight without taking a breath, referencing notes or taking a sip of water. How his giddy little wife was undoubtedly either a testament to true love or to mans momentary weakness, Or how, afterwards, through my extensive notes, I was able to relay much of what David had said to those around us who were evolved enough to hear, or despite his financial state, of the stack of books my boyfriend bought to give to those who might be open enough to hear, or of how many tines weve thought or said how David must be one of the bravest men alive? Evolved enough. Its a ridiculous state to be in, having to figure out who might be receptive to the tome that could, if they allowed it, change their concept of humanity, save his life, and possibly his very soul. How difficult it is to face that choice, and more ridiculous still, to be forced to make it. For my boyfriend, who had intended to hand those books out to everyone he knew, in the end, knew that in certain cases it would fall upon deaf ears, and so gave the volumes to a doormans boyfriend, a childs partner anyone who showed signs of being open enough to see. Speakers of truth have faced ridicule, ostracism, derision, the loss of their loved ones as well as their esteem, gained reputations of lunatics or of being broken records. Those on the firing line have lost jobs, careers, families, finances, their lives, and worst of all, hope. The list of sacrifice is long, and while I dont pretend to know David nor to be as great as him, I feel as if those engaged in this fight are perhaps part of the same otherworldly family who have come down here at this time to do what they can to help and gain front seats for the coming show. Perhaps Speakers of Truth come from similar planets and will meet once again over there, laughing to one another while saying, Now that wasnt so hard, was it? Except for David, wholl be drinking his head off and laughing like a hyena, saying, damn straight, that was difficult. You couldnt give me a red cent to do it again But he would do it, and each would do it again in his own way, because somewhere along the line those like David chose light over dark, the difficult path over the easy one, the way of sacrifice over earthly reward. There have been others before, societies even, whove faced annihilation for standing up for the true way, for that path is never easy. There is a congregation of sorts going on these days, a meeting place in the here and now, as if spiritually those in this field and I use the term very broadly to include those dedicated to spreading the truth at any cost know that something big is coming down, and theyve all decided to get their front row seats to it. Its an avalanche created by David and those like him the John the Baptists whove sounded the gong loud and long, hollering until their teeth have nearly fallen out and its now coming to fruition. Humanity is and will rise to the occasion, will bring about its own evolutionary change and bring down the monster, from those pawns of darkness who hide within institutional walls crying, its only my job, to the vile, hegemonic creatures who feed upon humanitys soul. Justice is never apparent on the surface, and it will likely seem some have suffered needlessly without their just reward. But the reward is in having done the job well and to the best of ones abilities, and with this comes the kingdom. With it comes also, perhaps, the final breaking of the bonds suffered by humanity. So back to that Phoenix trip when my boyfriend said I had to come, and when upon hearing David talk we indeed we felt like we had come home, we knew we had encountered someone brave enough, brilliant enough, and outspoken enough to make us feel we were no longer alone. We were no longer outcast among those who remained clutching the treadmill, running fast while stumbling, blind to all but the TV to which theyd fastened their entire existence, and we knew then that the projects we had been pursuing for virtually our entire lives, our callings, and our beliefs, all had purpose and the potential to bring about change. For David gave us validation. He also gave us information, hope and the strength to sally forth because we knew then, in Phoenix, that whatever happened, we were not alone. God Bless you, David, and all those who speak out.

2	Sheriff Warns American Gun Holders To Prepare Themselves According to recent reports, one sheriff in Brevard County, Florida has called on responsible gun owners to be mentally and physically prepared to take action in neutralizing terror suspects. Sheriff Wayne Ivey took to Facebook to call on residents who can legal carry firearms, urging them to be prepared to respond to threats until police can arrive on scene. Let there be no mistake in what Im about to say, Ivey told viewers. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. If you are a person who is legally licensed to carry a firearm, now is a time more than ever to realize that you and you alone very well might be the first line of defense for you and your family. Iveys call to action comes at a time when Obama has been more aggressive than ever in pushing his gun control agenda. Were sure hes not happy about this. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you support Iveys message? 
1	The pink-frosted single-candle cupcake used in the second place-winning slam-dunk contest routine of Timberwolves guard Gerald Green has been inducted into the National Cupcake Hall of Fame by unanimous vote, the Cupcake Hall of Fame committee announced Tuesday. 'We are proud that our favorite confection has once again appeared in the national spotlight and made us proud,' said NCHOF Director of Selection and nationally recognized pastry chef Meg Charleton. 'It has earned its place among such moist, delicious luminaries as the cupcake that went into space with John Glenn, the cupcake that flew with the crew of the Enola Gay over Hiroshima, and the cupcake Lincoln was eating that fateful night at the Ford's Theatre.' Green himself will give the presenter's speech at the ceremony in March, provided he has not already eaten the cupcake. 
3	ISIS: Region-wide Genocide Portended in 2007 Now Fully RealizedDead American Journalist the Latest Ploy to Cover-up Regional Genocide Years in the Making American journalist James Wright Foley was allegedly brutally murdered on video by terrorists of the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq (ISIS). The development would at first appear to portray a terrorist organization openly declaring itself an enemy of the West; but, in reality, it is the latest attempt by the West itself to cover up the true genesis of the current region-wide catastrophe of its own creation now unfolding in the Middle East. As early as 2007, the stage was being set for the regional genocide now unfolding from Syria and Lebanon along the Mediterranean to northern Iraq. The sudden appearance of the Islamic State of Syria and Iraq, otherwise known as ISIS, betrays years of its rise and the central part it played in Western-backed violence seeking to overthrow the government of Syria starting in 2011 amid the cover of the so-called Arab Spring. While the Free Syrian Army brand was created and used to obfuscate the hardcore, sectarian extremism that pervaded mercenary forces raised against Damascus, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had warned starting in 2011 that it was neither a pro-democratic uprising, nor a moderate, secular rebellion but rather hordes of foreign-backed terrorists with ties to Al Qaeda. The US State Department itself would admit that Al Qaedas Syrian franchise, Jabhat al-Nusra (an offshoot of ISIS), was among the most prominent armed militant groups fighting the Syrian government, beginning in 2011 onward. The US State Departments official press statement titled, Terrorist Designations of the al-Nusrah Front as an Alias for al-Qaida in Iraq, stated explicitly that: It was clear that the nationwide, extensive operations of al-Nusra were more than an apparition instead they constituted the true nature of the armed conflict ravaging Syria an armed enterprise that was clearly state-sponsored and the realization of long-laid plans by the West to reorder the region through chaos. Rise of ISIS Portended in 2007 But even before 2011, analysts and journalists warned of an impending regional sectarian war being intentionally engineered by the United States, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and other regional partners. The goal was to undermine and overthrow the government of Iran by first using covert violence to eliminate its arc of influence from Baghdad to Damascus, and of course in Lebanon. Veteran journalist and Pulitzer Prize-winner Seymour Hersh warned in a prophetic 2007 New Yorker article titled, The Redirection Is the Administrations new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism? that (emphasis added): Also in Hershs 2007 article, was mentioned ongoing support by the US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel to the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood for the purpose of creating the networks necessary to execute the coming violence that would be unleashed in 2011. He reported (emphasis added): Both the Arab Spring cover, and the networks of armed extremists were being built simultaneously in 2007, and unleashed in earnest in 2011 amid a regional political conflagration. Hersh would also touch upon the coming sectarian nature of the Wests designs, noting that even former CIA officers knew it would be precisely the Iranian arc of influence that would end up protecting religious minorities from the legions of terror the West was preparing to unleash. Hersh reported: It would be difficult for anyone today to read Hershs 2007 report and interpret as anything less than a verbatim outline of what the West had planned and now, since 2011, fully executed. It would also be difficult to claim that the regional presence of ISIS is not the full realization of the conflict Hersh warned the world of in 2007. ISIS Multinational Military Force the Product of Years of Western State-Sponsorship It is confirmed that since 2011, the United States, Turkey, France, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar have been heavily arming terrorists along both Syrias border with Turkey in the north and with Jordan in the south. While official speeches from behind podiums have expressed a reluctance to assist militants fighting in Syria, the presence of the militants are entirely a product of foreign backing. In the Telegraphs 2013 article titled, US and Europe in major airlift of arms to Syrian rebels through Zagreb, it is reported: Additionally, The New York Times in its article, Arms Airlift to Syria Rebels Expands, With C.I.A. Aid, admits that: The US State Department had also announced it was sending hundreds of millions of dollars more in aid, equipment and even armored vehicles to militants operating in Syria, along with demands of its allies to match the funding to reach a goal of over a billion dollars. The NYT would report in their article, Kerry Says U.S. Will Double Aid to Rebels in Syria, that: The US has also admitted that it was officially arming and equipping terrorists inside of Syria. The Washington Posts article, U.S. weapons reaching Syrian rebels, reported: More recently, scores of Toyota Hilux pick-up trucks were delivered to terrorists along the Turkish-Syrian border, which would later be seen among ISIS convoys invading northern Iraq. In a PRI report titled, This one Toyota pickup truck is at the top of the shopping list for the Free Syrian Army and the Taliban, it stated: It is clear that ISIS did not materialize from sand dunes in Iraqs northern region, nor are they procuring immense armories of weaponry by picking Kalashnikovs from date trees. They are the visible materialization of years of material support openly reported by the Western media allegedly sent to moderate rebels who do not exist. If they did exist, there has been no plausible explanation to account for how ISIS has managed to procure more weapons, cash, fighters, and influence throughout the region than moderates receiving backing from the combined resources of the US, Europe, Turkey, the Saudis, Qataris, and Jordanians. Maintaining Plausible Deniability The logical conclusion to be drawn by those observing the last 3 years of immense funding, weapon deliveries, political, diplomatic, and even military training for terrorists fighting in Syria and now in Iraq, is that there were never any moderates to begin with. It was, as veteran journalist Seymour Hersh had warned in 2007, always sectarian extremists ideologically aligned with Al Qaeda that the West had planned to utilize against its enemies in the Middle East. To deflect the general public from ever arriving at this obvious conclusion, a myriad of public relations ploys have been designed to portray ISIS not as the armed fist of Western hegemony in the Middle East, but a villain not only beyond its control, but posing as a direct threat to the West itself. Token bombing in northern Iraq and the arming of Kurds served dual purposes. The bombings made it appear that the US was fighting, not backing ISIS, while arming the Kurds helped further Balkanize Iraq as part of the classic hegemonic stratagem of divide and conquer. More recently, in what is obvious propaganda, American journalist James Wright Foley was allegedly abducted, then murdered on video by ISIS terrorists. Throughout the video, before the alleged execution, a mans voice, apparently the masked individual about to carry out the execution, speaks with a British accent, condemning the United States, threatening US President Barack Obama, and promising retaliation against the West. Regardless of the veracity of the events portrayed in the video, the fact that it was created in the first place indicates a need by the West and those directly handling, arming, and funding ISIS activities both in Syria and in Iraq, to create distance between the West and the ISIS mercenaries executing their foreign policy in their long-planned regional sectarian bloodbath. Videos like those featuring Foley, splashed sensationally across the front pages of Western websites and newspapers when US casualties in wars gone bad are otherwise buried, indicate a concerted propaganda campaign aimed at manipulating public perception, not honest, responsible reportage. The predictable reaction of Americans is to recoil at ISIS barbarism, despite similar barbarism being carried out for years in Syria and Iraq by Western-backed terrorists. With the apparent death of Foley, the US has created in the minds of many, plausible deniability regarding its well-documented role in the premeditated creation and continued perpetuation of ISIS. For Western special interests willing to lie to invade and occupy Iraq at the cost of over a million lives, including thousands of Americans, what would one more murdered American mean in an attempt to continue advancing its destructive, misanthropic agenda? It should be remembered that Western designs in the Middle East are but one stage of a greater agenda. The reordering of the Middle East with immense standing armies of terrorists answering to Western dictates, will be used to move against Russia in the Caucasus region, and against China within and along the boundaries of Xinjiang province.

2	VIDEO: Gun Battle Breaks Out Between Border Rancher And Illegal It is shocking that even with the threat of Americas southern border being crossed by Islamic State terrorists, the federal government has still neglected to take any serious action. Of course, terrorists arent all we have to worry about. The more immediate threat are the undocumented immigrants now living in our countrymany of which have violent criminal records. According to recent reports, Arizona farmer Greg Hudson was recently involved in a shoot out with a Mexican national who threatened both his family and his hired hand. The Pinal County Sheriffs deputies later identified the immigrant as Victor Colozo. Reportedly, Colozo showed the hand a gun before turning to leave and saying, Ill be back. Kyle Wormly told Hudson what had happened while he was working. Hudson did not waste any time. He went inside and grabbed his 12-gauge shotgun, following Colozo to make sure he left the property. Colozo say Hudson approaching and began firing at him. Hudson returned fire. Before anyone was seriously hurt, deputies arrived on the scene and took Colozo into custody. I dont want it to happen again, but I know Ill be prepared next time with different ammo, Hudson told reporters. Watch the video below and tell us what you think of the incident. UPDATE: Sorry the video has been removed. 
2	Donald Trump Goes Head To Head With Fox News Calls For National... Donald Trump has been clashing with Fox News ever since the first Republican debate, when he got into a heated interaction with host Megyn Kelly. After the event, Trump called Kelly out for targeting himand her career has been suffering ever since. It didnt take long for her to receive backlash from Trump supporters. More than 50,000 people signed a petition demanding that she never host a debate again. Even fellow Fox News co-anchors turned on her, calling her actions inexcusable. The feud quickly lost fire when Trump decided to stop investing his energy in it. It didnt take long for him to become the target once more, however. On Tuesday, Trump retweeted out his followers, asking them to stop watching the network: @glendabelle_11: @FoxNews Fox has become a supporter of Liberals! They are Not supporting the GOP candidates- especially Trump! Quit watching! The post has already received thousands of retweets. What do you think? Could this be the end of Fox News, or is Trump damaging his shot at the presidency? 
3	The Legal and Illegal Drug Cultures in the USABy Catherine J. Frompovich The chart below drives home three high-profile killers: Drug-induced, Motor vehicle, and Firearms Deaths. Not surprising to me, at least, is that deaths due to firearms are the least of the three mentioned in 2013, whereas drug-induced drug deaths top out as the highest! Motor vehicle deaths are in the middle. (U) Chart 1. Number of Drug Induced Deaths Compared to the Number of Motor Vehicle and Firearm Deaths, 2004 2013 Logically and statistically, shouldnt there be a demand to do away with both controlled prescription drugs and motor vehicles (since they kill more people), in view of the fact that the feds and politicians are calling for firearms disarmament in the USA? Let me state for the record that I am not a gun person, but I do respect the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. After all, if the number one killer in the DEA study is drugsincluding controlled prescription drugs being responsible for 15 percent of drug threatsshouldnt Big Pharma be called on the carpet about how they market, advertise, and dispense (physician samples) addictive pharmaceutical drugs? In 2013 there were 38 percent more drug deaths than firearms deaths! Then again, something else needs to be factored in, questioned and investigated by authorities: Of those firearms deaths, how many shooters were on, or coming off of, controlled prescription drugs, e.g., SSRIs or mood-altering prescription drugs? [5,6,7] Coincidentally in 2013, controlled prescription drug threats came in close to 28 percent! (U) Chart 2. Percentage of NDTS Respondents Reporting the Greatest Drug Threat, 2007 2015 CPDs=Controlled Prescription Drugs Heroin, according to the DEA report, is now the number one drug threat! On page 13 of the 2015 National Drug Threat Assessment Summary produced by the U.S. Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), theres a listing of metropolitan areas where controlled prescription drugs are ranked according to moderate or high availability. The cities/locales are listed alphabetically, so its easy to learn how readers regions rank. The Percentage of Drug Threats chart indicates the five greatest drug threats. Interestingly, controlled prescription drugs (CPDs) account for 15 percent, whereas marijuana comes in at approximately 6 or 7 percent. The biggest threat is from heroin (38 percent) which, factually, may be a substitute drug of choice due to addiction to CPDs which addicts, who no longer can afford to purchase prescription sources, resort to using. Just the other day I heard a radio news report (KYW Philadelphia, PA) that stated those who get hooked on CPDs, and no longer can afford to purchase them, can find and purchase heroin for as little as $10 a pop! What does that tell us about the role that pharmaceuticals carelessly play in establishing an illegal drug culture? The chart below, which appears on page 32 of the DEA report, indicates how numerous heroin addicts get started by using either heroin or opioid Rx drugs. Currently, the trend is Prescription Opioids. As prescription opioids availability and use rose, heroin habits declined. Again, what does that point to about Big Pharma products contributing to an illegal drug culture? (U) Chart 16. Percentage of the Total Heroin-Dependent Sample that Used Heroin or a Prescription Opioid as Their First Opioid of Abuse In the United States there are two very profitable drug cultures: an illegal one [cartels and pushers] and legal pharmaceuticals, i.e., MDs issuing legal scripts for controlled substances. However, the illegal drug culture finds itself being sought out and prosecuted, whereas the legal pharma pushers seem to be exempt. Why not? since MDs have licenses and prescription pads that, unfortunately, can do a lot of harm. What I think government officials, and society in general, need to be questioningplus investigatingis this: How do Big Pharma incentives to physicians for prescribing their controlled, toxic drugs program and participate in the distribution, sales and uses of legal/illegal pharmaceutical drugs? Before the industrys chief lobbying group, Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, in 2002 pulled the plug, the open use of gifts and money to influence doctors was considered standard practice. [1] Pharmaceutical companies certainly know how to merchandise their poisons! Pharmaceuticals really are chemical poisons, controlled by prescriptions, due to the fact they are industry-made, patented, dangerous chemicals. So now, how does Big Pharma accomplish a work-around? Doctors Hired as Paid Speakers Today, if a drug company wishes to get a doctor to write more prescriptions, it will simply ask him or her to become a speaker or, as its known in the trade, a thought leader. Tens of thousands of U.S. physicians are paid to spread the word about Big Pharmas favored pills. [.] But a recent investigation by ProPublica, a non-profit corporation that produces investigative journalism in the public interest, found on company payrolls hundreds of doctors accused of professional misconduct and disciplined by state boards or one that lacked credentials as researchers or specialists. [1] In the April 2014 article Should drug firms make payments to doctors? this appeared: Prescribe enough drugs and as detailed in 1974 Senate hearings a doctor could accumulate points to exchange for a wide range of consumer desirables colour [sic] TVs, watches, microwave ovens, lawnmowers, golf clubs. [2] [.] In the decades that followed, the pharmaceutical industry grew and the stakes got bigger. As more information about doctors prescribing habits became available, more money was spent trying to influence them. [2] A 61-page report, Financial Conflicts of Interest in Medicine (January 2014), states that This possibility [financial relationships with doctors] has not gone unnoticed by legislators. Beginning in 2014, the Physician Payments Sunshine Act took effect, when drug and medical device manufacturers will be required to publicly report payments to physicians and teaching hospitals (Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services, 2013). A presumption underlying this legislation is that transfers from the medical industry create conflicts of interest for providers that, in turn, influence their behavior. This paper evaluates that presumption. One of the possibilities for payments to physicians by Big Pharma is that drug companies convince physicians that certain drugs are better than others, when in reality they are not. [3] In that reports Conclusion, it states in part: Using data from twelve drug companies, more than 330,000 physicians and nearly one billion prescriptions, we find that when a drug company pays a doctor he is more likely to prescribe that companys drug. [4] One billion prescriptions and only twelve drug companies! That represents a script for close to one-seventh of the worlds population. Physicians receive perks from Big Pharma, which should be illegal and considered similar to the insurance industrys rebating that was regulated and outlawed [8]. Big Pharma and the medical profession need to be bridled more strictly, and statutorily, because of their influences on the availability of controlled prescription drugs impacting pharma-junkie addicts, and prescriptions can be acquired from licensed health professionals rather very easily.

It took well over a decade for me to find a physician who took my pain seriously and treated it appropriately. There was no valid or ethical reason for those 10+ years of suffering. I would have *loved* to have known where to have found just one of these pill-pushing doctors this article infers are all over the place. I am here to tell you that these guys simply dont exist. I can also tell you that a significant portion of these heroin users are pain patients who either could not obtain satisfactory treatment the right way, or who were dismissed from pain management (you can, in fact, follow all the rules and still end up with a dismissal notice in your hand). Some were likely unable to even have had the resources to jump through all if the hoops that the medical system holds up. I have a background in correctional nursing, and I have seen more people with substance issues than I can count. They told me their stories, and any of us can end up in their shoes. The idiotic War on Drugs has become a de facto War on Pain Patients, as well as the physicians who treat them. Doctors are scared to death to treat us. Many, the majority even, have simply stopped. Period. Those who have the stones to continue are left with no choice but to constantly be suspicious of their own patients. If I want to continue to be a productive member of society and stay on my pain meds (without which I would be essentially bedfast), I have no choice but to sign a pain contract. I must continuously prove that I am not only forsaking illegal substances, but also that I am taking my prescribed meds by way of random (and expensive) urine testing. In theory, I could be required to drop everything and appear at my clinic (60 miles away!) to submit a sample on demand. Fortunately, the demand for my pee has not become that extremeyet. I cannot fill my script at any pharmacy other than the one on my contract. I cannot accept any opioid medication from any other practitioner for any reason. Should I be involved in an accident, the ER would have to contact my pain doc before giving me anything. All because I want to be up, working, and enjoying life. It absolutely makes my blood boil to see articles like this, that are clearly written by people with no direct experience only an agenda. The crackdown on physicians regarding the prescribing of opioid pain meds has had the unintended consequence of fueling the illegal heroin trade. On the street, why pay $25-$30 for a 30 mg Roxicet pill when the same cash will by a far greater amount of heroin. As the pain meds become scarce/more expensive on the street, the user will turn to smack as a substitute. It is a sad situation, as those folks that really need those meds, now have great difficulty or cannot even obtain them. Everyone should know that there is a natural substance that can be used for both pain and previous addictions. People who have lost everything have found comfort with Kratom. Kratom is a natural vein from a leaf that has been used for centuries. Theres different colors which are beneficial to different problems. I use Red Vein for pain but theres more and Kratom can help. 
3	Boston Marathon Bombing: Who Do They Plan To Blame?You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that its an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before. Rahm Emanuel, former White House Chief Of Staff to Barack Obama While many people might immediately dismiss the concept, any student of true and unadulterated history has to eventually admit this fact: Governments exploit crisis. Sometimes, they merely take advantage of the ensuing chaos and aftermath of a disaster they had nothing to do with directly. Other times, they create those disasters themselves in order to engineer social and political opportunity. In regard to the recent bombing of the Boston Marathon, which killed three people and injured at least 140, I have asked Who do they plan to blame? The unaware and nave will state that They will blame the true culprit behind the attack, of course! Unfortunately, in the past couple decades I have seen numerous terrorist attacks where the blame was NOT placed on the true culprit, or, the blame was extended to totally uninvolved groups and organizations in order to politicize the event. Governments (especially our government) squeeze each man-made disaster like a ripe papaya until every drop of sweet advantage can be collected. They use our fear and confusion as license to attack a predetermined list of targets that may or may not have had anything to do with the original event. They tell the story in a way that suits their end-line interests, and the last thing they are concerned with is helping the public to understand. In the end, what average citizens see as an authoritative analysis on the facts from their loving leaders is in reality nothing more than an exercise in fantasy. Now, the thought of persons and institutions within our government being malicious enough to create a terrorist event to be used to manipulate the public towards a certain end tends to bring out furious denial in some Americans. This is because those people with weak characters and an even weaker sense of identity tend to attach their egos to the collective. They live vicariously through the group, or the nation state, so that the States accomplishments and trials become THEIR accomplishments and trails. To accuse the state of criminality is to accuse them of criminality. Vincenzo Vinciguerra, a far-right terrorist linked to Gladio and currently serving a life-sentence for the car bomb murder of three policemen stated during sworn testimony on Gladio in March of 2001: 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. This is the political logic that lies behind all the massacres and the bombings which remain unpunished, because the state cannot convict itself or declare itself responsible for what happened The strategy used by NATO was clear terrorize the common population, target as many innocents as possible in places where they felt most comfortable and at ease, and drive the citizenry into the waiting arms of the establishment. The tactic creates the cancerous spread of public tension because the sense of distance from violence is removed. An attack could literally happen anytime, anywhere. A predetermined scapegoat enemy is then presented, completing the circle and galvanizing the people in the direction the establishment desires. The methods used in Europe to demonize left-wing political movements could just as easily be used to demonize what some call right-wing political movements here in the U.S. Lets look at some of the facts surrounding the Boston incident so far: Boston authorities and witnesses on the scene admit that bomb sniffing dogs and roof spotters were employed before the race even began. The local bomb squad was also coincidentally running a controlled explosion drill only one mile away from the attack: (source) Participants at the race were told repeatedly not to worry, and that a training exercise was taking place. In nearly every major terror attack since 9/11, from the U.S., to the UK and Spain, the government was running training exercises and drills fitting the EXACT description of the threat that then suddenly occurred in real life on the same day. Perhaps it is only an overtly reoccurring negative serendipity, but in my view, if the authorities are running a training exercise for a bombing in your town, it might be best to run for the hills before their little war-game becomes real yet again. Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis also stated that authorities were not aware of any specific threats to the marathon before it began, which means that they are not presenting any claims that they had reason to believe a bombing might take place: (source) So, just to clarify, the Boston police on the suggestion ofsomeone, decided to run bomb squad training, bomb sniffing dogs, and rooftop spotters on the exact same day that the Boston Marathon happened to be bombedjust because? I would add to this conundrum another question With all those bomb sniffing dogs present, and with multiple devices now found on the scene, how did they not find at least one of the explosive packages before people were killed? Those dogs need to be fired, I suppose Along with the immediate strangeness of the attack, the timing is also rather perfect for the establishment. April 15th is tax day across the nation, and Tax Protest Day sponsored annually by Tea Party organizations across the country also just happened to fall on the 15th this year. On top of this, in Massachusetts, Patriots Day (a civic holiday celebrating the battles of Lexington and Concord) is held on the third Monday of April every year, which just happened to be the 15th this year. Oath Keepers, a constitutional organization often wrongly attacked as a domestic extremist group by the DHS and SPLC, just happened to have a large pro-freedom rally scheduled for the 19th of April at Lexington Green in Massachusetts. Are we starting to get the picture here? With the Senate in the midst of the most blatant attack on our 2nd Amendment rights in history following the passage of the absurdly fascist NDAA and the White Houses unwillingness to remove American citizens as potential targets for executive ordered assassination, and with multiple states now implementing draconian gun restrictions and even confiscations, public opinion is quickly moving against the Federal Government. Wouldnt it be beneficial for their agenda if it turned out that the Boston Marathon Bombing was executed by a group of pro-gun anti-income tax anti-government domestic terrorists, or maybe just Constitutionalists and Liberty Movement activists that are labeled as such? Wouldnt that be a big turn-off for those on the fence but shifting towards gun rights and constitutionalism? Wouldnt it be great for the DHS and the SPLC if all their anti-Constitutionalist propaganda was suddenly proven correct? Maybe the TSA could even suggest roving street checkpoints and random searches so that such a calamity never happens again. No suspects have yet been named in the marathon attacks, and none have claimed responsibility, so perhaps I am jumping to conclusions. Perhaps well find out those dastardly North Koreans were behind it all, or maybe those devious Iranians. However, I cant shake off that smell of a setup lurking in the musty sickly statist air, and the mainstream media is already suggesting right-wing involvement (why dont they ever suggest left-wing extremism as a possibility?). As I have said many times before, during any crisis, always look at who benefited the most from the event. Look at who had something to gain, rather than the first scapegoats they throw in front of you. Some terror attacks are real, and some are proven as staged, but never forget that government power structures do not see these tragedies as tragedies; rather, they see them as gifts; precious openings that create vulnerabilities in the psyche of the citizenry. They WILL exploit these vulnerabilities to further their own agenda, and they WILL exploit the Boston Marathon Bombing to demoralize and marginalize their political enemies. Count on it.

2	American Aid Worker Executed By ISIS Recently, the parents of Kayla Mueller, the Arizona woman who was taken hostage by ISIS nearly two years ago, confirmed that their daughter died at the hands of the terror group. We are heartbroken to share that weve received confirmation that Kayla Jean Mueller has lost her life, Carl and Marsha Mueller of Prescott said in a statement. Fox News reported on the incident. Kayla was a compassionate and devoted humanitarian. She dedicated the whole of her young life to helping those in need of freedom, justice, and peace. The heartbreaking story made its way around the internet. No matter how long it takes, the United States will find and bring to justice and terrorists who are responsible for Kaylas captivity and death, President Obama responded in a statement. On this day, we take comfort in the fact that the future belongs not to those who destroy, but rather to the irrepressible force of human goodness that Kayla Mueller shall forever represent. 
3	US Govt Forces Snowdens Encrypted Email Service to Shut Downselfnews Post Shortly after it was revealed that Snowden used Lavabit, the U.S. government pressured them to close down after ten years of service. Lavabits owner, Ladar Levison, received a court order to turn over all users private email data. He refused, and said he would not become complicit in crimes against the American people. Levison claims he was given two choices: cooperate with authorities or be shut down. He bravely said goodbye to his business and livelihood in protest of the digital police state. Here is the full letter to users regarding the shutdown: My Fellow Users, I have been forced to make a difficult decision: to become complicit in crimes against the American people or walk away from nearly ten years of hard work by shutting down Lavabit. After significant soul searching, I have decided to suspend operations. I wish that I could legally share with you the events that led to my decision. I cannot. I feel you deserve to know whats going onthe first amendment is supposed to guarantee me the freedom to speak out in situations like this. Unfortunately, Congress has passed laws that say otherwise. As things currently stand, I cannot share my experiences over the last six weeks, even though I have twice made the appropriate requests. Whats going to happen now? Weve already started preparing the paperwork needed to continue to fight for the Constitution in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. A favorable decision would allow me resurrect Lavabit as an American company. Sincerely, Ladar Levison Defending the constitution is expensive! Help us by donating to the Lavabit Legal Defense Fund here. Its as if privacy has been criminalized without anyone knowing it, and the government is doing its very best to snuff it out.

2	BREAKING: George H. W. Bush Turns On GOP Announces SICKENING Admission Former President George H.W. Bush outraged conservatives everywhere this week when he announced he will be voting for Hillary Clinton instead of Donald Trump come November. The shocking endorsement was first announced on Facebook by Kathleen Hartington Kennedy Townsend, daughter of Robert F. Kennedy and former lieutenant governor of Maryland. The President told me hes voting for Hillary! she commented on a photo of herself and Bush, posted to her private account. When reporters reached out to Townsend to clarify her statements, she simply replied, thats what he said. Reporters from Breitbart also reached out to the Bush family for comments. A spokesperson for the elder Bush didnt deny the report, but insisted that the former president would keep his preference for president private, Breitbart reported. While disappointing, this is not entirely out of left field. The 92 year old former president and his son George W. Bush have both refused to endorse Trump through the election. Many have attributed this to the fact that Jeb Bush lost to the business mogul in the primaries. The Bushes arent the only Republicans who still refuse to support Trump as the presidential nominee. Both Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz have refused to publicly support the legendary businessman, though they have stopped short of voting for Clinton. What do you think of Bushs decision? 
1	It was learned Monday that Ted Moseley, a 34-year-old De Kalb-area construction worker, hauls ass 10, 12 hours a day for his sonofabitch boss, and for what? The report, to be published in full in Thursday's New York Times, will tell you what: so his skank old lady can spend his hard-earned $6.75 an hour on a $450 vacuum cleaner, and to pay for the neighbor's mailbox that his snot-nosed kid busted. Why Moseley puts up with this shit could not be adequately explained by the report. 
3	Want Cash? ATMs to Demand Biometric Verification: Smartphone and Eye Scan To Dispense MoneyBy Mac Slavo While that remains to be seen in total, it is clear that a digital matrix of computer-based spending, surveillance and control is taking over more and more of our lives. Now that system wants to scan your iris and even talk with your smartphone in order to allow you to access your own hard-earned money. Sadly, this eerie new world order scenario is closer to reality than ever before. While cash will still be around for now, it is about to become more tightly controlled than ever before. Most banks are now limiting withdrawals and flagging customers with large cash requests as suspicious to law enforcement or federal agencies. Meanwhile, he next generation of ATMs while still spitting out bills will focus more on technological verification of patrons, and even biometric verification. With growing concerns over digital security and authentication, privacy is all but dead. NBC News reports on the surprising changes that could be fast approaching the cash machine you frequent around the corner or down the street: No card reader, no PIN pad, no touch-screen display how you bank at your ATM could drastically change in the not-so-distant future. Citigroup is testing an automated teller machine made by Canton, Ohio-based Diebold that relies on your smartphone and perhaps an eye scan to dispense your cash. Diebolds so-called Irving system works like this: Lets say you want to get $100 from your ATM. Instead of taking your bank card with you, you schedule your withdrawal ahead of time on your phone via your banks mobile app. When you walk up to the screenless machine, it identifies you in one of several ways: Near Field Communication (NFC, the same type of technology used in Apple Pays mobile payment service), QR Code (for Quick Response Code, a machine-readable bar code thats been used extensively in Japan) or biometrics (scanning your iris, a technique thats considered far more fail-safe than fingerprints as a form of ID).The machine then spits out the cash and you go on your merry way. Diebold said the entire transaction could be completed in less than 10 seconds. The new system is more secure than traditional ATMs, in part because you wouldnt need a card and wouldnt have to punch in a PIN, the company said. [] Our latest concepts embody a new era of banking and put the user experience at the top of the pyramid to connect consumers with their money when and how they see fit, Frank Natoli, Diebold executive vice president, self-service technology, said in a press release. While Diebold has been in the ATM machine business for many years, it is hardly reassuring that the big banks will be teaming up with the company know for its voting fraud scandals to keep your money secure from meddling. What could possibly go wrong? Moreover, the more entangled and dependent our system of commerce becomes on technology, the worse it will be if/when the grid collapses. While it is already true that ATMs wont be available in the event of a massive power outage, the requirement for not only ATMs, but smartphones and other devices to all work seems to invite trouble and further complications. ATMs already represent sharp fees and tight control of cash the price is high and the amount per day is strictly limited though its distribution happens at a nearly infinite number of points. Banks see cash as a problem because it can be freely exchanged on the black and grey markets, stuffed under the mattress and used without direct surveillance. Moreover, cash is an instrument that allows customers to circumvent their institution and fees, and keeps them from leveraging that balance many times over. This new era may have many conveniences, but the near-total electronic control of currency will put a handful of institutions in control of the economy, and will make history as the most invasive and authoritarian form of money ever created. Already, things are only shades away from the Mark of the Beast system so many have warned against and watched for the masses will be somewhere between cogs in the machine and slaves to the system. Image Credit You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com Ill be participating in Biometric Verification on the 12TH of NEVER. As with so many other aspects of life in our society today, the key word here is CONTROL. Me too, I havent belonged to a bank for 35 years. Credit Unions are the best. Besides, banks if they could they would charge you to use the bathroom. They charge for everything else though. Im surprised they are still in business. Why are credit units better than banks? Credit unions are co-operatives, non-profits owned by their members. OK. So what does that do for my finances? It will usually give you better interest rates on loans, lower or NO fees for the numerous things banks charge for and you OWN a portion of the CU so you have a say in how it is run! Try telling Bank of America how to run its operations if they even listen to you, they will be laughing their rear ends off!! CUs elect officers from among their members, giving you much more input into how its run. Youre generally treated much better at a credit union, youre not some mindless customer, youre a MEMBER with a VOTE and the employees at the credit union should recognize that status difference! Much higher interest rates on savings and checking accounts and more favorable rates on loans are two. Thats because CUs are in business to provide benefit to the members since they are non-profit not to enhance the bottom line as for profit corporate banks. No monthly charge, Which one are you with? How do I find one? How are they about paying interest on saving accounts, borrowing money. University Federal Credit Union ATX, they have sister banks around the USA. It will be , total control, all forms of cash will be monitored , banks credit unions. Oh, the inter-net will be monitored 24/7 as if it isnt now, supposedly it isnt now. Even your phones at home, cell phones are being monitored now. When the cameras are everywhere yo will finally be in total control of UNCLE SAM, your friendly KGB of the U.S. of Russia. What do you think the tracking wires in new bills are for?? So they can tell how much money youre carrying and where you keep it. Buy gold and silver. The tracking wires in bills enable detection if you are carrying over 10K in cash when leaving the USA without declaring the fact. If so, it is subject to confiscation. Yep, thats why Im headed off-grid (early retirement) People worry about a DNA data base, this is even better, no relatives to be confused with when the brown shirts come for you, your eye scan is even more individual than a fingerprint. See my remark above. Tell me what happens with your money in America,if you live overseas? I dont know. What happens with my money in America, if I live overseas? Take it with you Kiss it good bye! The government will come up with some excuse to confiscate the money of everyone that doesnt live in the country. Only probable exception, military and government workers. tnetcenter,I pray your wrong about this but your probably right.As for the military being an exception Im afraid that I seriously doubt that,with the way.He feels about Americas military and vets. The mark of the beast is right around the corner so get ready. The Bible is the truth; it says that in order to buy or to sell you must have this mark. People are not considering those that cannot afford the smartphone or even putting money in the bank; what will these individuals be able to purchase with; their souls? yep sell your soul to the Devil, Ill die first. Before I surrender. Give me Liberty or Give me Death No truer words were ever spoken. The people need to tell the Banks NO dont try it, or we walk out and you shut down your Bank. Why do you thing the Obama admin and liberals are pushing so hard to persecute and marginalize Christians?? So when they go to implement the mark of the beast, theyll just dismiss the complaints and protests from the Christian community as nonsense from a bunch of luddites. True born again Christians will be raptured out before the mark of the beast is implemented. They complain that not everyone can afford an ID to vote (right?), then expect everyone getting government checks (disability, SS, etc.) to have a bank account for mandatory automatic deposit. Also, toll roads are going cashless. PA solicited input through targeted surveys before they were going to decide to go cashless, and I gave them a lot of legitimate concerns. For example, the collected data had no retention expiration date, and also hackers might steal our data from their less-than-secure government database. No one contacted me or wrote a response..and about 6 months later I read in the paper that the gov. had voted to make tolls electronic-only. There is still the barter system. Get your silver and gold coins out. Price of a loaf of bread; silver dime, price of a nice new car 15 oz. of gold. The black and gray markets will survive, but will not use the dollar. I will require that I am handed the cash by a teller, just to make the bank hire a real live person. Only if you have money to barter with. Instead try trading brawn/brains. You may survive??? I definitely think that this will eventually be the Mark of the beast, a chip in the hand or forehead, then you dont even need a smartphone, in fact we might even communicate with each other with these microchips. As far as the actual Mark, I believe from scripture, that we will absolutely know that it is the Mark of the Beast, we will absolutely have to make a choice, and if we dont get it, we will have our heads cut off. Makes one wonder if it wont have something to do with radical Islam, doesnt it? Just watch and pray. The Jews at the time of Christ thought they knew what the Messiah would look and act like, and they totally missed it (I realize theres more to that story than just wrong expectations). The enemy is so subtle, and the beast system may slide into ID control with voluntary biometrics. I suppose the dead (pun intended) giveaway will be when they want to imbed the mark on a hand or forehead. But read that passage in Revelation carefully! It also says or the number of his name, meaning that participation in the beast system includes taking the mark OR letting them use the number of your name. The One World government wont have time to chip the whole world before Jesus puts an end to their scheme. is this the start of the Mark of the beast ? What many dont see from this article and is almost universally implemented today is that it also requires you to have a smart phone (a.k.a., government tracking device) with you. The vast majority of sheeple are already enslaved to the government via the convenience of having instant communications to any place on the globe from any place on the globe. I do not now, nor will I ever, own a cellular telephone. The primary reason is that I dont believe that you have a right to disturb me 24/7 anywhere I happen to be located. The second is that I have known from the inception of cellular technology that every 10 seconds your cell phone announces your identity and location to whomever In the late 1980s early 1990s I worked for GTE in their cellular division as an IT expert. I was on the team that developed a program for a trucking company to track their fleet location in real time. The writing was on the wall for me way back then that the probability of abuse by law enforcement and government was 100%, Every few seconds your telephone (including dumb phones) broadcasts its ESN/MID combination (Electronic Serial Number/ Mobile ID) that is picked up by any cell site in range and is relayed to the validation service that makes certain you dont owe the company money. This happens whether it is on or off. The only way to disable this feature is to remove the battery and have the telephone stored in a metal box. How do you think that a call from London finds your telephone in Boise and rings to tell you that you have a call? A few years after I left their employ, there was a minor brouhaha in Atlanta when it leaked out that the police department was tracking cell phones traveling down I-75. Their excuse was so that they could determine traffic patterns and set speed limits to keep things rolling. However, word also leaked out that they were timing individual signals for speed and had begun stopping cars they determined were speeding. Big Brother keeping you safe. I do a fair amount of international travel. I dont have a cell phone and border patrol didnt believe it during one crossing and detained me for six hours until I could produce one (George Bush declared that it was legal for Homeland Security to confiscate any electronic device at the border and clone it). I dont carry anything across the border. I backup my laptop and store the file on a foreign server. I then buy a new computer and download and restore when I arrive at my destination (its encrypted). One time they tried to strong-arm me into revealing my account and password, but the Supreme Court said a few years ago that they dont have that right at the moment. all passports now have RFID chips embedded in the binding in the fold. You can be detected at 75 feet by anyone with an RFID transceiver. Unfortunately, when I received my last passport, it accidentally went through a set of metal rollers that crushed the glass chip. Since it still has its bar code, it is a legal passport, it just cant be read at a distance or tracked. Very shortly, having problems accessing your money through an ATM will become the least of your problems. A wise post, thank you. Boy, I hope that metal-roller thingee doesnt happen to MY new passport that would be sad. These banks really want to loose all their customers. Diebold who is behind the electronic voting machines fraud, is in on this as well. Look up their history working with murdering profiteers. American needs to opt out of this nonsense. A private pass code needs to replace the social security numbers. These codes also shouldnt be linked to your personal information. This way they can track a bunch of ghosts codes and have no way to coerce, blackmail, kidnap, harass, or wrongly imprison dissenters etc. Yes something so simple I agree, but one problem is even SS cards are not to be used for IDs ever. Yet all business get away with it. And soon they would require you to use YOUR SECRET PASS This is a police state and unfortunately unless your top rich of this country there is nothing you can do about it. Follow the money always. The poor can not afford to run anywhere. It always takes money.Period. Wait til REAL ID is implemented: nationalized drivers licenses. It is good in some ways , less chance of a stolen card being used by a felon making sure the owner of the card is using it no one else. It does bring up other problems but minor in comparison to the 1st 2. The problem is that while they are making withdrawls BIG BROTHER is keeping a big eye on you, what you spend, how you spend it, locations, deposits times of each. We are heading into a govt against the people country anymore. None of this was voted on , nor were we asked if we wanted this. You are all now apart of a country that is like the ones we dont want to be, controlled watched by big brother, 25 years from now we wont have any freedoms anymore. A lot of this will be caused by the great influx of all the illegals, countries that we are accepting in large quantities from the arab countries who will be flooding this country soon. Have you ever noticed that we arent asked about anything anymore, no polls even when we do have a poll the govt doesnt care, it yells POLICE STATE, now doesnt it. Again think about 25 years into the future. WE are ALREADY there! Its just going to get worse as long as liberals and RINOS have control of the legislature! Ill put my money in a bank that doesnt do that. I wonder if the govt will require all banks to do it. Your naive, do research I have noticed a lot of big businesses are requiring employees to go direct deposit or use debit card specifically for that company. I work for a multi million dollar auto parts store they quit giving paper checks the only way you can get paid is by using the card service like ours, global cash card or direct deposit to your checking. Just another way for them to keep track Yes Jo you are correct. Most companys now , doesnt matter if private or public, or gov or professional, they are all turning to direct deposit. And your right it is all about control.Our gov is complete out of control. Rand Paul and Ted Cruz are on the filibusterer right now to try and stop the so called debt deal. I am mountain and its 2100 hrs or (9;00 PM) for those of you that dont know 24 hour clock. Its turning into a scary world out there and its amazing to me how some just dont see it. Blinded by stupidity I suppose. Yes you are correct again, some are just blind/deaf/dumb. I guess that will never change. At least a few are still waking up. Lets hope/pray that they wake up soon enough and for the right reasons. Bless you Jo and bless America. Fxcking sick isnt it jo? I refuse to get an iPhone just so I can get cash out of a machine. I also dont want to have to rely on a smartphone to do that either!! Cards with NFC and/or chips in them are a major scam!! Those cards are supposedly even more secure than the magnetic stripe cards BS!!! NOBODY can read my card (magnetic stripe tech) in my wallet by walking close by me. NOBODY can use my card w/o the pin number! This has NOTHING to do with security and everything to do with control over you and your money! Absolutely, you are correct. As a retired banker with one of the largest banks, I can assure you that requiring SS number to open an account was required *decades* before the Patriot Act. Among other things, it enables checking your credit report before opening an account, plus reporting income to IRS, etc., etc. The banks are already working for irs. Last year I sold my car that I had owned for 5 years when I deposited the check, wells fargo gave me the third degree. They accused me of being in business of buying selling cars. I dont recommend wells fart-go bank. Many Government buildings have required Palm print and Iris verification for a while. in America, if we want to get cashWE WILL GET CASH!!!!! this is America, and it is owned BY THE PEOPLE, not the governmentthey can NOT do this without the permission of the PEOPLEAND THEY WONT GET ITAMERICA, LOVE IT OR GET THE FK OUT Have you studied history? Tyrants with militaries and power do what they want. On rare occassion, the people stop them. Of course, we must always try, even if the odds are against us. have you studied history?? there has NEVER been a nation like ours, tyrants in other countries only got away with it because the people were tricked into being dis-armed, and in those nations the government and military are one in the samehere in America, the people own and rule this country, that includes our military, because we are our militarythe American people are the largest army in the worldNOTHING WILL BE TAKEN FROM US UNLESS WE ALLOW ITPERIOD to put users experience at the top of the pyramid? B.S.!!! This about control! I already have great experience at the ATM! F#ck this banking system! I dont even own a smart phone nor do I want one! Cool! When millions of people get eye cancer from the scanners, they can sue the banks for billions! Excellent post, and very informative. Thank you. Im wondering when America is going to say enough and put a stop to this crap. And that includes the marxist administration in the WH. Are we actually going to stand by and allow this bunch of criminals continue on their path? If we dont stop them, there will never be another election. obananas dream from his father is to completely control America and the only way he can do that is to declare Martial Law BEFORE the next election and he has us, lock, stock and barrel! After that, there will be all sorts of controlling crap being instituted, right down to the prophesied number on our person. Its just a matter of time before Diebold will be inventing a chip for that! 
2	1000 Mosques Shut Down After War Grade Weapons Discovered Stashed In January, we reported that the French government was working to shut down several mosques because of the weaponry that was being discovered in them. Now, reports from the New American confirm that several of these mosques have been raided, and have in fact revealed a staggering number of weapons and ammunition. Authorities first conducted a raid on a mosque in Lagny-sur-Marne, just 18 miles east of Paris. During that first raid alone, authorities uncovered 334 weapons and a large quantity of 7.62mm Kalashnikov ammunition. They also discovered ISIS propaganda videos. This confirms rumors that mosques are being used as recruitment centers from Islamic extremism. Police reportedly turned up recordings of chants glorifying the martyrs of jihad linked to the terrorist organization Jabhat al-Nusra. Jabhat al-Nusra is believed to be the Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda. The chants were also found among teaching materials for youth in a private religious school for boys. Now, the French are believed to be in the works of shutting down over 100 mosques. Meanwhile, Obama sits idly by, denying that Islam poses any sort of threat to the American people.

2	U.S. Airstrikes Blowup Millions Of ISISs Money According to recent reports, an airstrike conducted by the United States just successfully obliterated an ISIS warehouse in Mosul. The location served as the storage facility for what amounts to millions of dollars in cash to finance ISIS operations, a senior U.S. defense official told Fox News. The storage facility was reportedly hit by two 2,000-pound bombs. While it is unknown exactly how much money was in the facility at the time, it is estimated to be in the millions. This is not the first time the United States has hit cash facilities either. ISIS has taken measures to insure that oil isnt their only source of money being used to fuel their efforts. The Financial Times recently reported that even if coalition airstrikes were successful in taking down oil production, which nets the group an estimated $450 million a year, tax collection is raking in nearly as much. The groups zakat tax, which is a form of almsgiving in Islam, is helping to keep the caliphate economy going. Zakat requires Muslims to give portions of their income to those who are fighting for a holy cause. ISIS is believed to be collecting between 2.5 and 10 percent of incomes, resulting in millions of dollars each year. What do you think? Is this one small step toward taking down the terrorist organization? 
2	Obama Caught In Treasonous Act So Top US Generals Move For His Immediate Arrest According to recent reports, Retired U.S. Major General Paul E. Vallely has just come forward to demand that President Obama be arrested for treason. In a controversial radio interview, Vallely claimed that Obamas ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and his involvement in Benghazi are enough to land him in prison. The general also pointed out that only high ranking members of the military have the ability to hold Obama accountable for his actions. We know hes a radical Islamic sympathizer, claimed Vallely, the head of the Citizen Commission on Benghazi. He sympathizes with the Muslim Brotherhood. Vallely also claimed that his organization could list more than a dozen examples of treason by the president. He has no heart. He is a loser, Vallely concluded, regarding Obamas failure to defeat ISIS. I think hes a coward, and he does not want to engage. What do you think of Vallelys comments? Does Obama belong in prison? 
3	Horrific Animal Cruelty Video Prompts Tyson Foods to Cancel ContractBy Joe Wright This is exactly the reason why so-called Ag-Gag bills must be opposed. If one isnt concerned about the welfare of the animals, then one still should be concerned about the health violations that easily could go on undetected if left completely in the dark. Rather than pretend such atrocities dont exist, one Duke professor suggested just the opposite approach: Purdy acknowledges that fairness and safety are real issues. So is transparency, he writes, and that is why we should require confined-feeding operations and slaughterhouses to install webcams at key stages of their operations. List the URLs to the video on the packaging. There would be no need for human intrusion into dangerous sites. No tricky angles or scary edits by activists. Just the visual facts. If the operators felt their work misrepresented, they could add cameras to give an even fuller picture. (source) After all, this isnt the first time that Tyson Foods and its associates have come under fire. This undercover video from 2007 showed the torture of birds destined for KFC. Beyond that, it showed workers urinating on the conveyor belt as birds were headed on for processing. And this is, of course, beyond what is considered by many to already be hellish conditions imposed upon factory animals subjected to lives inside the walls, crates and cages of Tysons many farms. This new video is yet one more piece of evidence that demonstrates why transparency is so vital for animal welfare, and why we have a right to know what goes on behind the closed doors of factory farms that can impact our health. Until factory farms are willing to police themselves and properly investigate their operations, then animal rights activists and insiders should not be prosecuted for documenting these obvious crimes. The full video transcript is posted below with additional research links: Tyson Foods has terminated its contract with an Oklahoma pig farm after video was released of workers abusing the animals. We want to warn you, the images are disturbing. The video, released by animal rights group Mercy For Animals, mostly consists of West Coast Farms employees kicking, hitting and throwing pigs.The more graphic sections show them gouging pigs eyes, slamming baby pigs into concrete, and one worker even throws a bowling ball at an animals head.NBC, which had obtained the video, showed it to Tyson Foods, and the company immediately cut ties with the farm. A spokesperson for Tyson said: Were extremely disappointed by the mistreatment shown in the video and will not tolerate this kind of animal mishandling. [We] will take possession of the animals remaining on the farm. (Via NBC) The owner of West Coast Farms told the outlet hes already fired the workers seen in the video. (Via KNWA) But that might not be enough. Mercy For Animals has called for criminal charges to be filed against the farm. Animal welfare advocate Temple Grandin compared this incident to the infamous Westland/Hallmark abuse. That case forced the largest meat recall in U.S. history and a $500 million settlement.

2	WARNING: Raw Video Of Black Thugs Robbing Female Reporter Covering The Baltimore Protests Although the media is claiming that the Baltimore riots are mostly peaceful, this now-viral footage says otherwise. The Baltimore riots are centered on the death of a 25-year-old black man named Freddie Gray, who died while in police custody. Of course, the media is focused on the loss of that life rather than the violence that is spinning out of control as a result. Watch the clip below of a female reporter on site being attacked and robbed. Does this look like peaceful protesting to you? 
2	Hundreds Of Illegal Immigrants Found Dead In South Texas, But Heres What Caused It Recently, after a Honduran immigrant was found dead on a South Texas ranch, Channel 5 News ran a shocking special report called Paying the Price. In the news segment, human rights activist Eddie Canales commented that the victim was just one of hundred that die in the brush of South Texas. Many more go missing, but gaining access to search fields from landowners can be quite an undertaking. Now, South Texas landowners are speaking out, claiming that they cannot be held responsible for the deaths. We just think the landowner shouldnt take the blame on this, Susan Kibbe, the director of the South Texas Property Rights Association told reporters. Somehow, the U.S. is blamed for their deaths, or ranchers are blamed for their deaths or others are blamed for their deaths. They know when they come into the country illegally, theyre taking this chance, Kibbe concluded. What do you think? Is this even more reason to secure the border?

3	Activists Accused of Releasing Mink Indicted as TerroristsHeather Callaghan Author Will Potter of Green is the New Red site just reported that two animal activists have just been indicted as federal terrorists for allegedly releasing 2,000 mink from a Midwest fur farm. You may recall his recent TEDx talk we posted, on the topic of severe punishments for peaceful protest now considered eco-terrorism. He often informs people of the consequences resulting from the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) as well as the influx of ag-gag laws. Tyler Lang and Kevin Olliff were charged with two counts of violating AETA and, therefore, committing animal enterprise terrorism. Olliff is still in an Illinois jail serving 30 months for having bolt cutters in his car last year. He refused to have police search the vehicle, but while Lang and Olliff were in separate squad cars, police went up with a drug-sniffing dog and, of course, he smelled something. (Not drugs.) They were arrested for burglary tools a felony, and bail was set in the hundreds of thousands. Apparently, there were fur-farm raids in the area, but eventually they werent charged with anything illegal. Its just that FBI presence in the court and additional charge threats compelled them to accept plea deals. It was the reputation of being animal rights extremists that added the pressure. An officer was overheard on the squad radio telling another that Olliff was on the terrorist watch list. Lang was released in November. On Thursday, however, in Los Angeles, Lang arrived at a Veggie Grill restaurant to prepare a fundraiser for an animal rights group he volunteers for the Bunny Alliance. Annnndddthis is where FBI agents decided to arrest him. The government set Langs bond at $30,000, whereas pre-trial services had recommended $10,000. Get this: he wasnt thrown in jail, but he was considered flight risk (as in fleeing prosecution) because of his extreme activism. Prosecution said: He has plans to travel the country for what he calls non-profit work, but what the government calls violent civil disobedience. Potter writes: Arguably, Los Angeles courts have incredibly high amounts set for bail for just about any crime. Frankly, the amounts are up and down, all over the map. But to shine some perspective in the seriousness of Langs bond, it was set for the same amount as assault with a deadly weapon (non-firearm) and throwing something at a car with intention to cause serious injury. And its higher than stealing from someone, sexual battery, inflicting great bodily injury and contacting a minor intending to commit sexual offense with prior conviction. Yet, bails regarding the trapping/hunting of wildlife fall into infractions for a few hundred dollars bail, with the exception of taking an endangered mammal $5,000. (source) So, allegedly setting critters free is far worse than capturing them. And those are all misdemeanor charges were talking about felonies now. But of course, there are property rights to consider. Just think though, not your petty property rights law enforcement doesnt just set peoples pets free, it shoots them dead on a daily basis no, these are corporate property infringements. Corporations who can now feel terrorized. Were in the federal terrorist felony ballgame now. No more petty crimes it must carry the weight of terrorism and the punishment must meet the weight. When a crime isnt specifically on the bond list, it is set according to a potential prison term which means he could very well be looking at 5 years in prison or more, because various other charges are usually added. However, what are the usual implications of terrorism? Even an FBI agent outside the courtroom for the bail hearing had to assure someone on the phone:No, he is being charged with damaging property. Not damaging animalsthey are against that. See? Its hard to believe this is the face of terrorism. Yet, they heavily watch peaceful protesters, awaiting the next terrorist act.

3	Obama Says New Gun Control Executive Orders Are Well Within My Legal AuthorityBy Melissa Dykes Obama, via Reuters: The good news is .. these are not only recommendations that are well within my legal authority and the executive branch, but theyre also ones that the overwhelming majority of the American people, including gun owners, support, Obama said during a meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch and other advisers. The new gun control measures are likely to be announced sometime this week. Wonder if another perfectly timed mass shooting will accompany them. Even though the stock market fell today, stocks in gun manufacturers like Smith Wesson rose against the news. Pro gun control president Obama is perhaps the best gun salesmen in America, it seems. Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan released a statement blasting the president: While we dont yet know the details of the plan, the president is at minimum subverting the legislative branch, and potentially overturning its will. His proposals to restrict gun rights were debated by the United States Senate, and they were rejected. No president should be able to reverse legislative failure by executive fiat, not even incrementally. The American people deserve a president who will respect their constitutional rights all of them. This is a dangerous level of executive overreach, and the country will not stand for it. (source) Thats great and all, but Paul Ryan doesnt even sort of have a backbone, so this statement, while absolutely true, pretty much means zip. In the meantime, the president will simply continue to chip away at the 2nd Amendment as much as he can before his final year is up, just as he has repeatedly threatened to do. Related 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! Its gods will. And besides you werent really using those weapons of individual destruction for any sacred purpose. Merry christmas and a scary new year to all; signed your loving leader, the king of drones the grand serial killer, B. O. If not for Americans being armed and the internet Obamas handlers are working on both. Mr. Obama is afraid of civil war in US. The civil war willi be only podspined Obama also said that he was a Constitutional Law Professor, this is a demonstrable lie. Obama was a University Lecturer, a position that is below the status of an ADJUNCT Professor. This was a part-time position, with no benefits, no tenure track, and no expectation that Obama would get any scholarly books or articles published. Obamas claim that he was a law professor is like a Dental Hygienist claiming they were a dentist, it is laughable, pathetic, and fundamentally dishonest. But so it everything Obama does. Obama is not legally the U.S. President and has no legal authority for any executive orders, legislation, etc. Just ask Hillary, the original birther. Well, here it is. The beginning of full-scale CONFISCATION. Someone should have asked if HE is willing to step out the the W.H. without armed protection. But, we all know what the real and true intention of this Communist is. That statement alone is enough for me. So if it is well within his legal authority. Why did he have to pull all the HOAX shootings then? Just sayn. What an idiot. Go back under your rock. 
3	Washington Leads World Into LawlessnessPaul Craig Roberts US government officials routinely criticize other governments for being undemocratic and for violating human rights. Yet, no other country except Israel sends bombs, missiles, and drones into sovereign countries to murder civilian populations. The torture prisons of Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, and CIA secret rendition sites are the contributions of the Bush/Obama regimes to human rights. Washington violates the human rights of its own citizens. Washington has suspended the civil liberties guaranteed in the US Constitution and declared its intention to detain US citizens indefinitely without due process of law. President Obama has announced that he, at his discretion, can murder US citizens whom he regards as a threat to the US. Congress did not respond to these extraordinary announcements with impeachment proceedings. There was no uproar from the federal courts, law schools, or bar associations. Glenn Greenwald reports that the Department of Homeland Security harasses journalists who refuse to be presstitutes, and we have seen videos of the brutal police oppression of peaceful OWS protestors. Chris Floyddescribes the torture-perverts who rule the US. Now Washington is forcing as much of the world as it can to overthrow international treaties and international law. Washington has issued a ukase that its word alone is international law. Any country, except those who receive Washingtons dispensation, that engages in trade with Iran or purchases Irans oil will be sanctioned by the US. These countries will be cut off from US markets, and their banking systems will not be able to use banks that process international payments. In other words, Washingtons sanctions against Iran apply not to Iran but to countries that defy Washington and meet their energy needs with Iranian oil. Washingtons dispensations, however, are arbitrary. Dispensations have not been granted to China, India, Turkey, and South Korea. India and China are the largest importers of Iranian oil, and Turkey and South Korea are among the top ten importers. Before looking at possible unintended consequences of Washingtons vendetta against Iran, what is Washingtons case against Iran? Frankly, Washington has no case. It is the hoax of weapons of mass destruction all over again. Iran, unlike Israel, signed the non-proliferation treaty. All countries that sign the treaty have the right to nuclear energy. Washington claims that Iran is violating the treaty by developing a nuclear weapon. There is no evidence whatsoever for Washingtons assertion. Washingtons own 16 intelligence agencies are unanimous that Iran has had no nuclear weapons program since 2003. Moreover, the International Atomic Energy Agencys weapons inspectors are in Iran and have reported consistently that there is no diversion of nuclear material from the energy program to a weapons program. On the rare occasion when Washington is reminded of the facts, Washington makes a different case. Washington asserts that Irans rights under the non-proliferation treaty notwithstanding, Iran cannot have a nuclear energy program, because Iran would then have learned enough to be able at some future time to make a bomb. The worlds hegemon has unilaterally decided that the possibility that Iran might one day decide to make a nuke is too great a risk to take. It is better, Washington says, to drive up the oil price, disrupt the world economy, violate international law, and risk a major war than to have to worry that a future Iranian government will make a nuclear weapon. This is the Jeremy Bentham tyrannical approach to law that was repudiated by the Anglo-American legal system. It is difficult to characterize Washingtons position as one of good judgment. Moreover,Washington has never explained the huge risk Washington sees in the possibility of an Iranian nuke. Why is this risk so much greater than the risk associated with Soviet nukes or with the nukes of the US, Russia, China, Israel, Pakistan, India, and North Korea today? Iran is a relatively small country. It does not have Washingtons world hegemonic ambitions. Unlike Washington, Iran is not at war with a half dozen countries. Why is Washington destroying Americas reputation as a country that respects law and risking a major war and economic dislocation over some possible future development, the probability of which is unknown? There is no good answer to this question. Lacking evidence for a case against Iran, Washington and Israel have substituted demonization. The lie has been established as truth that the current president of Iran intends to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. This lie has succeeded as propaganda even though numerous language experts have proven that the intention attributed to the Iranian president by American-Israeli propaganda is a gross mistranslation of what the president of Iran said. Once again, for Washington and its presstitutes, facts do not count. The agenda is all that counts, and any lie will be used to advance the agenda. Washingtons sanctions could end up biting Washington harder than they bite Iran. What will Washington do if India, China, Turkey and South Korea do not succumb to Washingtons threats? According to recent news reports, India and China are not inclined to inconvenience themselves and to harm their economic development in order to support Washingtons vendetta against Iran. Having watched Chinas rapid rise and having observed North Koreas immunity to American attack, South Korea might be wondering how much longer it intends to remain Washingtons puppet state. Turkey, where the civilian and somewhat Islamist government has managed to become independent of the US- controlled Turkish military, appears to be slowly coming to the realization that Washington and NATO have Turkey in a service role in which Turkey is Washingtons agent against its own kind. The Turkish government appears to be reassessing the benefits of being Washingtons pawn. What Turkey and South Korea decide is basically a decision whether the countries will be independent countries or be subsumed within Washingtons empire. The success of the American-Israeli assault on Irans independence depends on India and China. If India and China give the bird to Washington, what can Washington do? Absolutely nothing. What if Washington, drowning in its gigantic hubris, announced sanctions against India and China? Wal-Marts shelves would be empty, and Americas largest retailer would be hammering on the White House door. Apple Computer and innumerable powerful US corporations, which have offshored their production for the American market to China, would see their profits evaporate. Together with their Wall Street allies, these powerful corporations would assault the fool in the White House with more force than the Red Army. The Chinese trade surplus would cease to flow into US Treasury debt. The offshored-to-India back office operations of banks, credit card companies, and customer service departments of utilities throughout the US would cease to function. In America, chaos would reign. Such are the rewards to the Empire of globalism. The White House moron and the neoconservative and Israeli warmongers who urge him on to more wars do not understand that the US is no longer an independent country. America is owned by offshoring corporations and the foreign countries in which the corporations have located their production for US markets. Sanctions on China and India (and South Korea) mean sanctions on US corporations. Sanctions on Turkey mean sanctions on a NATO ally. Do China, India, South Korea and Turkey realize that they hold the winning cards? Do they understand that they can give the bird to the American Empire and bring it down in collapse, or are they brainwashed like Europe and the rest of the world that the powerful Americans cannot be resisted? Will China and India exercise their power over the US, or will the two countries fudge the issue and adopt a pose that saves face for Washington while they continue to purchase Iranian oil? The answer to this question is: how much will Washington pay China and India in secret concessions, such as eviction of the US from the South China Sea, for their pretense that China and India acknowledge Washingtons dictatorial powers over the rest of the world? Without concession to China and India, Washington is likely to be ignored while it watches its power evaporate. A country that cannot produce industrial and manufactured goods, but can only print debt instruments and money is not a powerful country. It is a washed-up two-bit punk that can continue to strut around until the proverbial boy says: the Emperor has no clothes.

2	FBI Stops Obamas Syrian Refugee Terrorists Right In Their Tracks President Obama has lost even more respect for his approach to Syrian refugees after the FBI arrested two men on charges of terrorism. Aws Mohammed Younis Al-Jayab and Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan were arrest in California and Houston, respectively. Both of these men were refugees in their early twenties who were originally from Iraq. It did not take long for them to turn into 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, Texas Gov. Greg Abott, who has been vocal on the issue since the beginning, said in a statement. Ted Cruz has also chimed in, demanding that all of the refugees currently settled in America be re-vetted. While I commend the FBI for their hard work, these arrests heighten my concern that our refugee program is susceptible to exploitation by terrorist, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul commented. There is expected to be an increase in the backlash against Obama following these attacks. This is exactly the type of security breach that Americans everywhere fearedand its coming to fruition. What do you think? Should we deny entrance to Syrian Refugees until we determine a successful way to vet them? 
3	Quelle Surprise: NSA Spies on EuropeStephen Lendman Spying domestically isnt for national security. Nor is monitoring allies. Its about control. Its for economic advantage. Its to be one up on foreign competitors. Its for information used advantageously in trade, political, and military relations. On June 30, Londons Guardian headlined New NSA leaks show how US is bugging its European allies. Exclusive: Edward Snowden papers reveal 38 targets including EU, France, Italy. Berlin accuses Washington of cold war tactics. One document includes 38 embassies and missions. It calls them targets. Extraordinary spying methods are used. Bugs are planted in electronic communications gear. They monitor cable transmissions. They do so with specialised antennae. Targets include EU nations, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, India and Turkey. China, Russia, Iran, and numerous other countries are spied on intensively. One bugging method is codenamed Dropmire. According to a 2007 document, its implanted on the Cryptofax at the EU embassy, DC. It refers to a bug placed in a commercially available encrypted fax machine used at the mission. (Its) used to send cables back to foreign affairs ministries in European capitals. NSA spying disclosures long pre-date Snowdens revelations. He connected important dots. He provided additional information. He made millions aware globally. Previously they didnt know. Americas allies and enemies do. Perhaps they now know more. Maybe they criticized privately. Likely they were silent. They do the same things. It is beyond imagination that our friends in the US view Europeans as the enemy, she stressed. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius added: These acts, if confirmed, would be completely unacceptable. We expect the American authorities to answer the legitimate concerns raised by these press revelations as quickly as possible. German and French officials are too sophisticated not to know this. Going public perhaps hides prior knowledge. An old maxim says Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Machiavellis believed to have said it. In the Godfather trilogy, Michael Coreleone said Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will always be victorious. NSA bugs the EUs Brussels-based Justice Lipsius building. It hosts summit and ministerial meetings. Buggings handled from nearby NATO headquarters. Washingtons very much in charge. Another covert operation copies everything on targeted computer hard drive(s). Bugging the EUs UN headquarters mission is codenamed Perdido. Documents Snowden revealed show a floor plan. Data collection methods include implants (bugs) inside electronic devices. EUs Washingtons location is bugged. Multiple operations target 90 embassy staff members. America has 16 intelligence agencies. They all do these type things. Its no surprise. Its what spy operations do. NSA spying against Frances UN mission is codenamed Blackfoot. Targeting its Washington embassy is called Wabash. NSA codenames Italian Washington embassy operations Bruneau and Hemlock. An accompanying Guardian article headlined Key US-EU trade pact under threat after more NSA spying allegations. If consummated, its worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Whether or not it suffered a setback isnt known. Rhetoric differs from policy. Expect public outrage to subside. Its used to demand concessions. Perhaps some will be forthcoming. Germany is Europes economic powerhouse. It has the most to gain or lose. The stakes for France and other major EU nations are high. Washington and Brussels begin high-level trade talks next week. US spying revelations overshadow them. An unnamed senior Brussels official said: Obviously we will need to see what is the impact on the trade talks. Another senior official said whats known may hamper EU/US trade relations. Senior European Commission official Robert Madelin said EU trade negotiators always assumed their communications were monitored. It would be naive not to. An unnamed EU official added: Theres a certain schadenfreude here that were important enough to be spied on. This was bound to come out one day. And I wouldnt be surprised if some of our member states were not doing the same to the Americans. EU nations spy on each other. Doing so is universal. At issue is what nations are more skilled than others? Which ones do it more intensively? Washington likely tops all others and then some. Friend and foe nations spy on America. Washington does the same thing in return. Cloak and dagger operations arent new. Theyre longstanding. They existed throughout recorded history. All sorts of ways are used. Todays state-of-the-art technology makes it easier. Perhaps with tongue in cheek, a European Commission spokesman said: We have immediately been in contact with the US authorities in Washington and in Brussels and have confronted them with the press reports. They have told us they are checking on the accuracy of the information released yesterday and will come back to us. Luxembourgs Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn called reports disgusting. She wants guarantees Washington will stop. She wants it from top US officials. She knows nothing she says will deter it. Martin Schulz heads the European parliament. He replicated other EU comments made, saying: I am deeply worried and shocked about the allegations of US authorities spying on EU offices. If the allegations prove to be true, it would be an extremely serious matter which will have a severe impact on EU-US relations. On behalf of the European parliament, I demand full clarification and require further information speedily from the US authorities with regard to these allegations. Dutch MEP Marietje Schaake wants John Kerry in Brussels to explain. She calls it essential for the transatlantic alliance. Snowdens documents revealed that NSA taps half a billion phone calls, emails, and text messages a month in Germany alone. We can attack the signals of most foreign third-class partners, and we do it, one passage read. Every day on average, NSA monitors 20 million German phone connections and 10 million Internet datasets. Some days, up to 60 million phone connections are recorded. German Green Party MEP Jan Philipp Albrecht wants a debate on surveillance measures as a whole looking at underlying technical agreements. I think what we can do as European politicians now is to protect the rights of citizens and their rights to control their own personal data. He addressed Washington calling Germany a third class partner, adding: Doing so is destroying trust, and to rebuild that (America) will need to take real action on legislation. At the same time, declassified US intelligence reports and European parliament documents show at least six EU nations share personal communications with NSA. Britain, Denmark, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain and Italy have formal agreements to do so. They say EU countries have had second and third party status under decades-old signal intelligence (Sigint) agreements. Theyre obligated to transmit data. Experts believe it now includes cell phone and Internet communications. Nations are categorized by level of trust. Americas called a first party. Perhaps now that will change. Its never been trustworthy anytime. Today it goes without saying. Second party countries include Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Germany, France and others are classified third parties. Data sharing was agreed under a 1955 UK/US pact. It provides an intelligence-sharing legal framework. It stipulates: In accordance with these arrangements, each party will continue to make available to the other, continuously, and without request, all raw traffic, COMINT (communications intelligence) end-product and technical material acquired or produced, and all pertinent information concerning its activities, priorities and facilities. It includes incorporating similar agreements with third party countries. Its if America and Britain agree to do so. Each third party country was codenamed. Denmarks called Dynamo. Germanys Richter. NSA used these agreements strategically during the Cold War. According to former NSA director General Michael Hayden: The changes made to FISA in 2008 were far more dramatic far more far-reaching than anything President Bush authorized me to do. In other words, NSA far exceeds whats authorized. Its clearer than ever now. Perhaps new information will explain more. NSAs a rogue power unto itself. Its Big Brother writ large. According to intelligence expert Simon Davies: Its clear that the European parliament must intervene at this point through a public inquiry. MEPs should put the interests of their citizens above party politics and create meaningful reforms. In 2001, a European parliament report explained covert data-sharing, stating: Germany and the United Kingdom are called upon to make the authorisation of further communications interception operations by US intelligence services on their territory conditional on their compliance with the ECHR (European Convention on Human Rights). On June 30, Der Spiegel headlined Growing Alarm: German Prosecutors to Review Allegations of US Spying, saying: Theyre looking into whether systematic data spying against the country conducted by Americas National Security Agency violated laws aimed at protecting German citizens. A Federal Prosecutorss Office spokeswoman said criminal complaints appear likely. One was filed in Giessen, Germany. Its against an unnamed perpetrator. According to documents Der Spiegel reviewed, NSA spying is far more pervasive than previously believed. Around 500 million German communications are monitored monthly. NSA classifies Germany as a target for spying. On June 30, the Financial Times said Brussels ordered facilities comprehensively swept for bugs. It did so following NSA spying revelations. From Brunei, John Kerry downplayed whats going on. All countries do it, he said. He left NSAs over-the-top lawlessness unaddressed. Spies R us defines it. Rule of law principles dont matter.

1	Upending more than two centuries of free-market theory, leading economists across the globe announced Thursday that the fundamental principles of capitalism had been 'irrefutably disproved' by the continued existence of the designer fruit-basket company Edible Arrangements. According to experts, the Connecticut-based franchise, which arranges skewered pieces of fruit into displays vaguely resembling floral bouquets, has defied all modern economic models, expanding continuously for the past decade despite its complete lack of any discernible consumer appeal. 'In theory, the market should have done away with Edible Arrangements long ago,' said American Economic Association president Orley Ashenfelter, who added that one of the crucial assumptions of capitalism is the idea that businesses producing undesired goods or services will fail. 'That's how it's supposed to work. Yet somehow, despite offering no product of any worth whatsoever, this company not only makes payroll every week, but also generates strong profits.' 'It's mind-boggling,' Ashenfelter continued. 'I honestly have never even heard the name Edible Arrangements mentioned in conversation before. Seriously, has anyone?' Economists say the contents of this basket disprove everything contained in the writings of Adam Smith. Upon examining the so-called Edible Arrangements paradox, economists worldwide have abandoned many of the ideas that have dominated economic thought since the time of Adam Smith, arguing that the forces of supply and demand are powerless to explain the company's 45-piece line of officially licensed NASCAR-themed fruit bouquets. 'To understand this enigma, we must discard the nave notion that free-market prices reflect what consumers are willing to pay,' Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz said. 'Otherwise, how else are we to rationalize the phenomenon of a human being willingly spending 84 bucks on 18 green apple wedges and a Mylar balloon?' An unofficial survey conducted by Stiglitz found that not one of the AEA's 18,000 members had ever purchased or received an Edible Arrangement or knew of anyone who had, indicating that the franchise was operating in 'some advanced realm of economics' in which the so-called profit motive no longer applied. Even many of the nation's staunchest neoliberal economists, who have long advocated laissez-faire policies, acknowledged that the ideas of F.A. Hayek, Ludwig von Mises, and Milton Friedman cannot account for how Edible Arrangements operates from more than 1,000 locations in 13 countries, including Hong Kong, Italy, India, and Kuwait. 'Clearly the invisible hand has led us astray when it allows for the continued existence of a store that manufactures 'Sympathy Blossoms' of chocolate-dipped orange slices for funerals and wakes,' said N. Gregory Mankiw, a former economic adviser to George W. Bush. 'And when people are buying 3,000 'Orange You Gonna Feel Better Soon?' bouquets a day, the idea of consumers as 'rational actors' goes out the window pretty fast.' Harboring doubts that such a business could generate $200 million in annual revenue, the Department of Commerce last year launched an investigation into whether Edible Arrangements served as a front for some sort of illicit trade. Internal reports reveal agents uncovered nothing illegal, and were instead 'absolutely stunned' to find real, functioning storefronts with paid employees, computers for tracking actual orders, and stockrooms packed with honeydew melon balls and pineapple slices cut into the shape of butterflies. 'It defies all logic,' Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said of the company's gift bouquets. 'These things are like six pounds of cantaloupewho could possibly eat that much? And they're already cut up, so you have to eat them quick or throw the whole thing out. For Christ's sake, Americans don't even eat fruit.' In spite of lingering bewilderment at the company's success, economists have reportedly pledged to work together to develop a new and more encompassing theory of global markets 'Right now, we just have to accept the fact that Edible Arrangements exists and is, somehow, a part of our current economic reality,' said Ashenfelter, while perusing the company's online store. 'Besides, my mom's birthday is coming up and, now that I'm seeing these, I think she might really like this one with the teddy bear on it.' 
1	The addition of walnuts significantly improved an area chicken salad Monday, resulting in a more enjoyable taste experience for its eaters. The salad, made by Gladys Peldsen for a dinner party, was described by one guest as markedly improved by the inclusion of the walnuts. The impact of the walnuts did not surprise Herbert Fremmit of the U.S. Walnut Awareness Center in Washington, DC. Walnuts add crunchiness to the otherwise soft texture of a chicken salad. Peldsen was reportedly pleased by the added zest. 
3	The Group Is AllJon Rappoport More and more, education is entraining children to think of themselves as part of a group. This is one basic way to cut off the consciousness of being an individual and what it really means. The government, the State, has now become the beneficent leader of The Group, and if you need confirmation, just ask any politician. Hell give you a sound bite or two. People enmeshed in the current culture dont realize that, as recently as 25 years ago, the promotion of America as One Group played like a faint tune in the far distance. Now, its being urged by the State with wall-to-wall rhetoric straight out of some cheesy TV church; and the pastor-hustler is taking in contributions with one hand while doling out bribes with the other. Only hes got militarized police all over the land and an awesome surveillance apparatus to back him up. But he loves you. He really cares. And suckers from Maine to Chula Vista are buying in. Count on the brief appearance of some messianic figure in the Presidential Primaries who will try to out-Obama, Obama, if only as a keynote speaker at a convention. Behind the freebies and the were all in this together lurks, however, the same monolithic State, obsessed with control. Domination. The Individual is the target. The objective? Convincing people that conceiving of themselves as distinct from the herd is a delusional, outmoded, cruel, psychotic, hopeless act. Youre against The Group. You dont care about humanity. You reject the force that is trying to bring aid to everyone everywhere: that force is government. This is part of the con. The hustlers larger role involves strolling up to his mark and purring in his ear, making promises, offering sympathy. Its ancient. Its all about we and us and everybody and humanity and the people. Its syrup poured on the innocent and the confused. The Left argues that the mega-corporations are in charge. The Right argues its government. AsRobert Anton Wilson once wrote: Theyre both right. The Corporate State, looked at from any angle, is in the business of reducing the individual to undifferentiated mush. The technocratic wet dream of hooking 10 billion brains to a super-computer, and thus giving birth to enlightened consciousness, is the pseudoscientific version of a collective utopia. The right answers to all questions are fed back down a pipeline into every mind. But it turns out there is the right to be wrong, which is to say, the individual has the freedom to dissent from any and all groups. He can think, and act on what he thinks, without consulting a manual. He can perceive reality on his own terms.He can go further and invent realities. He can oppose the mob and the machine. If none of this ignites a spark in his mind, he can lie down and wait for the steamroller. Somehow, the most diehard advocates of the State ignore American foreign policy: war, wholesale destruction. They studiously develop amnesia on that front. They dont bother trying to probe the personality of a government that professes to solve the problems of 300 million people at home, when that government pursues perpetual war abroad. when he [the independent individual] merges his person into an organizational structure, a new creature replaces autonomous man, unhindered by the limitations of individual morality, freed of humane inhibition, mindful only of the sanctions of authority. (Stanley Milgram, Obedience to Authority, 1974) Yes, inside The Group, authority takes over, and its prescriptions replace ethics. We are not talking about mere instinctive conformity it is, after all, a perennial failing of mankind. What we are talking about is a rationalized conformity an open, articulate philosophy which holds that group values are not only expedient but right and good as well. (William H Whyte, Jr.) Replacing individual values with group values invokes a formula: the greatest good for the greatest number of people. This is magnetically attractive for the young on two counts. One, it seems to involve a simple rational calculation. And two, it spreads the good around like jam to everyone. Of course, its a total con. Who decides what the greatest good is, in any given situation? And who enforces it with laws and guns and courts and prisons? If she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weakInsteadshe did not know whythey had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes. (George Orwell, Animal Farm, 1945) The Group does not move forward, it devolves. It reverts back to primitive impulses, while justifying its so-called principles as instruments of the highest order. One egg, one embryo, one adultnormality. But a bokanovskified egg will bud, will proliferate, will divide. From eight to ninety-six buds, and every bud will grow into a perfectly formed embryo, and every embryo into a full-sized adult. Making ninety-six human beings grow where only one grew before. Progress Ninety-six identical twins working ninety-six identical machines! The voice was almost tremulous with enthusiasm. You really know where you are. For the first time in history. He quoted the planetary motto. Community, Identity, Stability. Grand words. If we could bokanovskify indefinitely the whole problem would be solved. (Aldous Huxley, Brave New World, 1932) Yes, the perfect Group. Humans made in hatcheries, according to plan. Group identity replacing individual identity. The All of the All. Why bother with individual achievement? Why bother with thoughts that separate one person from another? Why-cant-we-just-get-along becomes: why cant we all think the same thoughts? We can, with enough generations of programming. With synthetic production lines in birth-hatcheries. Greatest good for the greatest number becomes a different kind of number. For those who dont want to take things that far, there are less radical versions of The Collective Glob in the propaganda mall. From the mystical to the political, there is a whole range of messages. They all include the word we. For some reason, I never signed up for that we. Maybe you didnt either. This article is for you.

3	U.S. House Oversight Committee: Stingray Surveillance Violates ConstitutionBy Derrick Broze On Monday, theU.S. HouseOversight and Government Reform Committee released a new report that calls for improved oversight and guidelines for law enforcement use of cell site simulators, sometimes known as Stingrays. Stingray is the brand name of a popular cell-site simulator manufactured by the Harris Corporation. The Electronic Frontier Foundation describes Stingrays 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 cell phone 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. This allows the officer whois in possession of the Stingrayto knowwho, when, and to where you are calling, the precise location of every device within the range, and with the latest models, capture the content of your conversations. As the use of Stingrays has grown quickly in the last five years, the public has largely remained in the dark as investigative journalists work to expose the technology. The issue has finally become mainstream with the latest report from the House Oversight Committee. The report, Law Enforcement Use of Cell-Site Simulation Technologies: Privacy Concerns and Recommendations, notes that the U.S. Department of Justice has 310 cell site simulators spread across several agencies, including the FBI and U.S. Marshals Service. The DOJ spent more than $71 million cell site simulator technology and upgrades between 2010 and 2014. According to the report The Department of Homeland Security has 124 cell-site simulators. The committee also called on state and local officials to adopt policies similar to those recently enacted by the Department of Justice. In addition, the committee recommend that law enforcement be more forthcoming with judges when they requestapproval for the use of the devices. Congress should establish a legal framework that governs government agencies, commercial entities, and private citizens access to and use of geolocation data, including geolocation data obtained by the use of a cell-site simulator, reads the report, written by Reps. Jason Chaffetz, Utah Republican, and Elijah E. Cummings, Maryland Democrat. The committee also called attention to the likely unconstitutionality of the use of Stingray surveillance, especially in light of the fact that most law enforcement agencies do not typically acquire warrants before using the devices. While law enforcement agencies should be able to utilize technology as a tool to help officers be safe and accomplish their missions, absent proper oversight and safeguards, the domestic use of cell-site simulators may well infringe upon the constitutional rights of citizens to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, as well as the right to free association, the committee wrote. The report also notes that, according to a 1997 DOJ guidance bulletin, the DOJ believes thatit does not appear that there are constitutional or statutory constraints on the warrantless use of such a device. Another issue the committee looked at involves the use of non-disclosure agreements. Both the Harris Corp. and the 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, are not allowed to speak on the details of their arrangements. Due to this secrecy, very little has been known about how exactly the Stingrays work. The committees report stated that the NDAsshould be replaced with agreements that require clarity and candor to the court whenever a cell-site simulator has been used by law enforcement in a criminal investigation. The issue is likely to make its way to the Supreme Court for a final decision on whether or not Stingray surveillance requires. In June selfnews Post reported thatthe U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit has ruled that police can legally gather cell site location information (CSLI) without judicial approval via a search warrant. The 4th Circuit made the ruling based on rules implemented before the growth of cellphones and computers which allow law enforcement to collect business or third party records without a court order. The rules were originally intended to govern banking transactions and phone calls made by a traditional landline. While the public waits for the politicians and legal scholars to figure out if the State has a right to intercept your communications, it is up to every individual to pursuetechnologies that protect our freedom and privacy. We must also support technologies that can combat and deter the invasive use of spy tools. Without privacy there can be no freedom. We are watching the very rapid erosion of our privacy. Whether the concept survives into the next generation depends on the actions we each take today.

2	BREAKING: Lib Mayor Bill De Blasio Pays Big Time... This Is Justice Mayor Bill de Blasio has been a disaster in his years as mayor of New York City. His relationship with the biggest city in America has gotten so bad that NYPD officers were turning their backs to him at a funeral. Now, it appears he could be facing criminal indictment. Breitbart reports that two separate grand juries in Manhattan, one federal and one state, have started hearing testimonies relating to criminal investigations into de Blasios campaign fundraising. Suspicions have been raised of possible pay-to-play violations. These grand jury actions represent the strongest indication yet that indictments are on their way, the New York Times reports. The federal investigation was launched by Manhattan U.S. Attorney Prett Bharara, who is examining whether de Blasio or his aides conducted political favors for donors in exchange for contributions to his 2013 mayoral campaign. These two investigations are part of five that were brought upon de Blasio and his staff dealing with fundraising by the mayor and organizations that are affiliated with his office. What do you think? Are New Yorkers better off without this criminal? 
3	Did Marco Rubio Steal the Minnesota Primary?By Derrick Broze An anonymous poster on Medium has released a controversial, and possibly damning report, which details a number of unexplained phenomena related to the Super Tuesday Minnesota primary results. Simple summary, Ive found evidence that I believe points to rigged machines casting votes according to numbers decided before polls even opened, which gave Rubio his win. I really hope Im wrong, and can post that this was all a mistake. Read on for details, the author writes. Much of the details of this particular theory require knowledge of computer programming that might be beyond comprehension for the average person but please push through and read this story. If there is yet more evidence that elections in America can be rigged or altered in some way we must work to expose it. First, our writer points out that the Minnesota Republican Party released the results of the primary as a PDF which contained the phrase Operation Malayan Water Monitor. Certain corners of the Internet have speculated that this phrase could have been code for Marco Wins Minnesota, as presidential candidate Marco Rubio defeated Donald Trump in Minnesota despite Trump being the predicted winner. R. Stassen-Berger (@RachelSB) March 2, 2016 This incident alone is not enough to indicate any wrongdoing but the situation gets even more odd. As the author points out, a Google search of Operation Malayan Water Monitor shows a PDF that does link back to the Minnesota Primary results. The author continues with some more interesting details: Now, some of you may be asking me why the hell Im making a big deal out of election results posted on a partys website. After all, thats basically the point of Super Tuesday, and it was my question, too. Until I noticed that the WordPress URL contained the string /2016/02/. That means that these files, including the 92% turnout one, were all uploaded in February. Super Tuesday is on the first day of March. Another example of timing not matching up is the fact that the Minnesota GOP website shows the Preliminary Results posted as of February 29, 2016, a full day before the results were supposed to come in. Now, some of you may be thinking, Well, perhaps the Minnesota GOP created the file in February to be prepared for the results. It does make sense that the web page would be built and ready ahead of the March 1st primary instead of the actual day, but this situation keeps getting weirder. I should note that the rest of the authors piece delves into speculation and theory but even without the hard evidence needed to make a case in a court of law, we can absolutely draw some conclusions based on the available information. The author writes, So, back on MN GOPs website, theres an embedded YouTube video explaining how to caucus. Pretty basic stuff, but theres something in the background thats important. The email address in the video is steve@hotmail.com. The author does a good job of establishing that the email address is in fact in use and has been for at least three years. This is where it gets interesting. Steve at hotmail dot com posted a question on a forum ran by a company called KoreLogic. KoreLogic, the company running this forum, is a well known cyber-security contractor, and no unfamiliar name to me, I watch talks where their researchers present and Ive seen their name on paper, the author wrote. The author was able to find a presentation given by KoreLogic. KoreLogic has worked closely with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). DARPA is well known for investing in and creating covert intelligence gathering technologies, as well as the next generation of war weapons. As the slides from the presentation show, KoreLogic is totally capable of hacking and exploiting computer programs like the ones used for counting votes. This slide actually lists Diebold voting machines under servers that have been compromised. The author continues, Now, I dont know how many caucuses use machines or how the votes are counted, or how many steps it takes to get from a caucus ballot to a computerized result, but I assume theres a machine somewhere along the way. My primary cause for concern here is that Minnesotas secretary of state asked for new voting machines this year, and Diebold likely picked up the contract. Perhaps there are too many what-ifs and speculation for you to believe in Operation Malayan Water Monitor, but at the least this story reminds us how vulnerable electronic voting is to hacking and manipulation. Minnesota is running voting machines that are capable of being exploited by hacking firms like KoreLogic, as well as any other independent actor with the skills. This should be a reminder to all Americans that not only is the political system corrupt beyond repair or reform, but the entire process of voting for a president is likely a highly orchestrated charade.

Uh-huh, Im sure all the, seen better tans on a snowman, Minnesotans, voted for Can you imagine PUTIN walks into a meeting with Rubio? Rubio stands STARING at Putins HANDS! Putin refuses to shake hands with the little PENIS MEASURING Rubio?! No one will want to MEET IN PRIVATE with him/her. Rubio will turn America into a laughingstock. Rubio pulling out a tape measure at every meeting!!!!!!!! http://SmartestManOnEarth.Ca/nofraudballot says vote counting fraud is easily prevented with serial-numbered ballots. Cant cheat if we can all check our votes are right! Me thinks Marko has an obsession. Is Marco Rubio really an elf those little pointy lopsided ears sure makes me wonder and we all know how mischievous elves are. There is nothing little about those ears.he looks like he could be on Star Trek If true, damn sad and damn maddening. Americans have no right to complain at all since theyre allowing their election s do be done using electronic voting machines. little Marco, the South Beach bubble-bath boy only knows how to do the macarena sans shirt. The guys like Singer can contact his mossad buddies to do this black-op almost without detection. I have recently reiterated that, I am not a fan of Trump Rubio, Cruz, The Clintons, Romney, Bloomberg and the Vatican Papa, to name only a few, make the Keystone Cops look like rocket scientists I love the smell of idiots imploding in the morning But Im still not a fan of Trump Go figure You know when Obama brought his Obama care in , I thought something was wrong when it was voted in without anyone reading it. At that time my insurance was 220.00 a month. Now its 480.00 a month and going up and so I am canceled my insurance and paid a fine of 1600.00 this year., and all taxes got raised , voted in back in 2012 and takes affect in 2016. All these taxes ( Obama care and the other tax increases all happening with jobs disappearing to Mexico and China.) Now we are paying to bring refugees here who will all end up being supported by are welfare system and our taxes. Now we have the self appointed darling of the republican party Romney sticking his nose in the game. Im very discusted with the whole dam bunch including Paul Ryan for not using the power of the purse strings to hold Obama back. No guts !! Trump is pretty strong when your consider they are all shooting at him at one time and hes still fighting them off. That says hes a strong leader. The more they hate him, the more I like him. Well said He received a 1 million dollar loan from his dad, for which he repaid. He did not inherent $200 million. Trumps father died from Phemonia in 1999. Trump inherrited a sizable portion of his dads wealth which at the time was estimated at 250 to 300 million dollars. Trump has other siblings, nieces, nephews, children, etc. any inheritance would have been split. Rubio is a used car salesman and he has a pumpkin head with big ears. He should be able to fly with out boarding a place. Special interest have him in their pockets. No pumpkin head for me.. !!! I wont surprise me!,.MarcoThe Gizzard Rubio, is trying to win any way possible!,even if they have to cheat!!,.America Vote for Donald Trump!!,..Let;s teach the Crooked DemocRats and the Crooked RINOd a lesson they will never Forget!!,..Landslide win for Donald Trump!!, If you think or believe elections are fair you need help I was at a MN caucus. The votes were done with paper ballots. Trump didnt win in my caucus and Rubio won in my daughters caucus. If there was computer fraud, it must have happened after results went to party HQ. 
2	Simon Cowell Shocks America By Donating Massive Amount To Israeli Military During the recent conflict between Israel Defense forces and Hamas, celebrities have been noticeably vocal in speaking up. From Joan Rivers to Howard Stern, celebrities are weighing in with surprisingly insightful commentary, criticizing the pro-Palestinian bias weve been seeing in the liberal media. The latest to speak out is Simon Cowell, who generously donated more than $150,000 to the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces at a recent fundraiser. His actions are not going unnoticedespecially by the left. His Twitter account is now being bombarded with nasty comments, speaking out against his actions and against Israel. Some are even claiming that he has blood on his hands for his donation, and making crude claims that he gave the money in order to impress his Jewish girlfriend. Cowell is not alone in his support of Israel. Celebrities like Scarlett Johansson, Robert De Niro, John Voight, and Jay Leno have also spoke out in support of Israel. What do you think? Do you agree with Cowell? 
2	Trey Gowdy FIRES Obama With Brutal Truth About His Presidency Conservatives throughout the country are sick of the President Barack Obamas corruptiona legacy that, fortunately, will not be carried on by Hillary Clinton. Its a good thing we have Congressman Trey Gowdy on our side, refusing to cave into pressure. Recently, Gowdy stood up with a national advocacy group for veterans and brutally criticized Obama for his neglect of the VA healthcare system and for the way his government retaliated against whistleblowers within the VA and IRS. I dont like bullies, Gowdy commented, standing with Concerned Veterans for America. Government against whistleblowers is an unequal fight. Free speech is the ability to speak truth to power without consequences. With very few limitations, you have the right to say what you want to say, Gowdy continued. But as a responsible citizen, I have to use that right judiciously. There are people in the media who are professional and there are some who have lost all pretense of objectivity. Finally, Gowdy closed with this powerful statement, Constitutional equilibrium is out of whack. I wish my colleagues would just read the document and not confuse it with the Declaration of Independence or a poem by Robert Frost. What do you think? Do you agree with Gowdy? 
3	The End of Entropy: A Look at Our Entropic World and the Evidence Supporting How We Could Change ThisAmaterasu Solar Every time we add our labor to a product or perform a service we expend energy and increase the overall entropy of the environment. Every time we exchange money for a product or a service, the legal tender we use represents payment for previous energy that we expend. Money, after all, is nothing more than stored energy credits. In fact, because of our limited available energy and the money system developed to account for it, it is clear why we have a power elite, as well as poverty and exploitation. Rifkin explains (p. 57): Energy is the basis of human culture, just as it is the basis of life. Therefore, power in every society ultimately belongs to whoever controls the exosomatic [external] instruments that are used to transform, exchange, and discard energy. Class divisions, exploitations, privilege, and poverty are all determined by how a societys energy flow line is set up. Those who control the exosomatic instruments control the energy flow line. They determine how the work in society will be divided up and how the economic rewards will be allocated among various groups and constituencies. Given this, it becomes clear that if such an infinite, available, negentropic source of energy were to be introduced, power over others would give way to individual autonomous power over self but no others. This can be seen as a major shift in consciousness on this planet. This all sounds hypothetical, a waste of time to contemplate even, to the average individual who has been told that we are stuck with the many entropic sources of energy we presently use (which also are sources we have to pay for). Where is this miracle source? they might ask. And here is where I bring up the Dark Energy that is now heralded all over science shows about physics and cosmology. This energy, which has been called radiant energy and cosmic rays (Tesla), orgone (Wilhelm Reich), Zero Point Energy, and many others, is pervading space. It is within you and within me, around all of us, and is present anywhere we go. Interestingly, though we are told of this energy (usually as Dark Energy), no mainstream media (MSM) outlet has asked the most logical question: Can we extract this energy in usable form? In fact, back in the 1950s, the science of electrogravitics was being discussed openly in the aerospace literature, an industry that was studying electrogravitics at all the major players: Martin, Convair, Lear, Raytheon, Sperry, and many others. The discussion vanished in the latter part of that decade; it just wasnt discussed anymore, despite the fact that so many companies had been drawn into the electrogravitics arena. Reports were that, They want it secret for now. Electrogravitics could draw on this energy and create overunity free energy, in other words. So why was this a threat? The reasons for these occurrences that the media never ask if we can draw on the Dark Energy, that electrogravitics became highly classified become clear when we look at the fact that those presently in power would have to give up their power over others (having already power over themselves). From the perspective of those few, they would lose. Such an energy source would represent, at least, a virtually infinite source that is available to all. Any attribution of a negentropic aspect comes from reports from a number of sources suggesting that cold, not heat, is the defining characteristic of drawing on this source. These reports and the surrounding research and data have surely been suppressed at least to the extent of not reporting on it and never, ever asking whether we can get something usable from Dark Energy. It would be a nave position at best to expect the present power elite to ignore and not suppress and disparage any efforts to develop this source in usable form. And, so, it would appear that we have had methods of extracting usable forms of energy from the Dark Energy pool, called the plenum (opposite of vacuum, from a root which means empty plenum means full) for at least 100 years (Tesla seems to have developed such methods). And we might conclude that the power elite wish to remain in their place of power over others, else they would have released the means to extract usable energy to the public. (There is strong evidence of suppression of many free energy devices, from hydrogen-from-water devices through magnetic devices, as well as the Plenum Energy methods.) The question now becomes, what would happen if we had this energy available to all of us? The answer depends on how we, as a planetary society, approach the matter. Since were examining society, it helps to understand that it moves and emerges in fractal expressions from a relatively small seed set of parameters. Up until now, the fractal seeds of all societies in history have included scarcity of energy (which is reflected in the scarcity of goods and money), and thus we see emerging greed, conspiracy, poverty, power elite, wage slavery and many other ills. If we look for a seed that gives an overarching structure for a societys development in the advent of having such a source of energy available, and take advantage of what media we can to raise awareness to the tipping point of the goals and precepts we define, the society that fractalizes out of that seed will be strong, healthy, and unrestrictive provided the seed is geared to that end. The key things that must be addressed are: If we seed our society with a code of conduct, calling to the fore the three Laws which are: This sets one parameter of the seed to ethics. If we insist that all farming be organic in its true sense, and not some trumped-up legal definition our food will grow ever better. If we insist that mining is done with a conscious awareness for retaining beauty and structure, our impact will be small and reparable. If we insist that manufacturing be done such that it is free of pollutants, our planet will remain healthy and abundant. If we are using the Plenum Energy, the energy we use will be clean (and fracture drilling, oil pumping, coal mining, rain forest clearing and other nasty behaviors and consequences associated with petrofuels will be eliminated). If we set this parameter of the seed with the drive to be thoughtful of our planet, our planet will thrive. If we demand open-source in all technology, we remove fears of machines taking over. Code can be looked at, published on the Web and better code will be worked out by those whose bliss it is to program things. A distrust of proprietary code (or any other hidden thing) should be promoted. Such a setting in this parameter of the seed will bring forth the best we can create. By creating robots to do all the necessary work no one (or not enough people) wants to, we release ourselves to do what we enjoy we are released from slavery, having cast it off onto our machines. This seed parameter is one only now available to humanity. Never before in our history have we had the option to create mechanical slaves for every dirty job. Therefore, it, along with the addition of a negentropic energy source, will provide a frame for unique emergence, a new societal framework, a new consciousness. With a central website, in forum style, to address major issues divided into local sections, regional sections and global sections, with votes at a certain level elevating the problems and solutions to the next level to be voted on by a greater number we can collectively coordinate to solve the issues of this planet. Social responsibility will be seen as spending 15 minutes a day (or more) reviewing the issues on this site. This seed parameter will see an emergence of human unity as a race and as a planet. Setting a focus of fulfilling ones own bliss, exchanging the work ethic for a Betterment Ethic, will see very much happier people, and far better results of efforts made a job is done far better by someone who loves to do it than by one who feels compelled against their main desire. No job will be required to live well, but any job one wants to do is open to be done. I quote again from Rifkins Entropy (p. 210) to illustrate the differences between the scarcity paradigm and the new abundance paradigm, as it relates to work: [T]he authoritarian structure of the workplace robs the individual worker of a chance to join in a community with his fellows to make decisions and develop his talents. Unable to join with others to explore his potential and creativity, the individual is forced to retreat into a shell in which he has neither meaningful rights nor responsibilities at his work. All he is left with is a job, a place to make money, and a degrading environment to which he must submit, eight hours of every day. Thus we can see how a seed parameter of encouraging one to follow ones bliss since in this new paradigm one can uplifts each one of us and increases the value of consciousness in society. Having described the seed, how might it be expected to manifest? One of the first products that is likely to be seen are power boxes, which will be sold, initially. These would be units that had a mechanism to draw on the Plenum Energy and outlets to plug in our air conditioners, stoves, heaters, refrigerators, freezers, and so forth. This would allow us to move anywhere and bring our comfort items with us. We could go camping and still have our amenities, and many will. Eventually these items will each have their own units within. As the cost of energy is removed from the production line at every stage, things will become less and less expensive, and at some point, will be given freely. Other observables will include: From this list, it is clear that many issues we now face will be solved. Wealth will be measured in richness of character, rather than in deposits to a bank account. And we will spend our time doing what we like to do, being with the people we like and share interests with. Inventions, rather than being suppressed, will flourish, and the Star Trek universe may be within our grasp, with things like transporters and replicators emerging. And though this is not a solution to every issue arising from human interaction we will always have our personal disagreements the overall health of society, and the individuals within that society, will skyrocket. Yes, we may still argue with others over the smaller issues in our lives, and some may choose to behave violently, but the numbers of occurrences will drop to a level we would consider statistically insignificant. Definitely a vast improvement over what we see today. When you consider what I present here, ask yourself these questions: Does this threaten a pet vision passing laws, say, to solve a problem you see, or a view of striking it rich that you have of your future? Does this scare you? Do you look for reasons that it wont work? (All you envision as barrier issues are scarcity paradigm views). Then ask yourself why working towards what I present here wont solve the issue you want to solve; why you wouldnt be rich in what I show to you; why it wouldnt fulfill your idea of heaven; why you are afraid; and/or why you look for reasons it wont work rather than apply the proactive will to make this happen. If we each choose to create this, since we have all it would take, consciously co-creating towards this goal, what I present would happen. It would take enough of us reaching a tipping point before it would all be downhill, and you may choose your future behavior. Speak for abundance, or reduce the chances that this will ever happen by keeping silent. In closing, I recommend any who work for someone else and also are privy to information (such as methods of extracting usable energy from the plenum) give strong consideration to coming forth with what is known. In the end, you and all of us will be better off and even todays power elite will retain their lifestyle, if not their power over us.

3	Gates and WHO Partner to Create the Global Vaccine Action PlanSusanne Posel, Contributor The Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP) is pushing governments worldwide with the power of the UN to back them to coerce the increase of global vaccinations through strategic programs. The DVC is comprised of stakeholders from the global health community. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) have also partnered with the WHO and DVC to support GVAP. The BMGF released astatement on the GVAP saying that they are excited to be part of this incredible opportunity to continue their efforts to eradicate polio in Nigeria, Pakistan, and Afghanistan and fund vaccination campaigns with the support of international partners. The details of GVAP include delivery of vaccines to DVC between 2011 2020 with aims to administer these immunizations to underdeveloped nations like Africa and India. The initiative will attempt to exceed the UNsMillennium Development Goal (MDG) that immunization . . . should be recognized as a core component of the human right to health, the plan says. The plans mission is to extend, by 2020 and beyond, the full benefit of immunization to all people. WHO and DVC want to build relationships with pharmaceutical manufacturers to research and develop new vaccines for diseases that are not treatable through immunization. By 2015, all underdeveloped nations will be admonished by the UN to introduce one or more underutilized vaccines, which will be licensed and disbursed by WHO and DVC to low- or middle-income countries by 2020. Misleading statistics are being purveyed as empirical data that give unfounded explanations and rhetoric over routine vaccination and new vaccine development. WHO is depending on vaccination surveys (which are inherently flawed) to rationalize their claim that 82% of the poorest countries need to have DTP3 administered which encompasses the majority of the population. WHO and the UN decide amongst world leaders as to which nations will be the focus of vaccinations. These nations are Africa, India and some parts of Asia, where the UN has identified the population growth to be expanding too quickly. Daniel Berman, deputy director of the Campaign for Access to Essential Medicines at the Mdecins Sans Frontires, in Switzerland, said that the plan focuses primarily on new vaccines, when he feels that routine vaccination is a more effective course of action. Berman believes vaccines administered by inhalation, skin patches or orally can improve the immunization coverage. While new storage procedures may alleviate the need for cold storage, less logistical challenges will be placed on healthcare workers. Berman added that local production of vaccines could have a positive effect on emerging, middle-income countries as well as lower the cost of vaccine technologies. Through corporatism, pharmaceutical corporations could relocate facilities to Africa and India for technology production and transfer, as well as give access to licenses. Simon Wright, director of Child Survival at Save the Children UK is pleased with the plan by WHO and DVC. Wright says that this initiative will provide a strong focus on building health systems to reach those children who were still not vaccinated. linkwithin_text=Related Articles:

2	$44 Million Obama Family Purchase Has Americans In Complete Outrage Throughout their time in the White House, the Obamas have made it clear that they put their needs above those of Americans. Whether its making unilateral decisions without approval of Congress, enforcing their dietary restrictions on public schools at the cost of students, skipping military funerals for golf, or traveling on taxpayer dollarsthe Obamas seem to have no problem taking what they want. So just how much do they want? According to the Daily Mail, the Obamas have spent nearly $44,351,777.12 on vacationsand the majority of that cost falls on American taxpayers. As of March of last year, President Obama had officially spent more time traveling internationally than any other president. As the Daily Mail notes, he took 31 trips since 2009, costing taxpayers millions of dollars. In 2010 alone, he flew on Air Force One a whopping 172 times, when simply flying to Chicago costs around $180,000 per hour. And dont even get us started on the lavish family vacations to Hawaii. What do you think? Are you sick of Obama acting like royalty? 
2	What Obama Did After Islamic Terrorist Attack In Ohio Will Make You Sick The United States suffered yet another terrorist attack on Monday, when an ISIS-supporter went on a rage-fueled stabbing spree at Ohio State University, wounding nine people before police shot and killed him. Of course, Obama wasted no time urging the American people not to blame Islam for the attack, Web Daily reports. Our response to this situation matters, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest reportedly said during a press briefing. If we respond to this situation by casting aspersions on millions of people that adhere to a particular religion or if we increase our suspicion of people who practice a particular religion, we are more likely going to contribute to acts of violence than we are to prevent them. Earnest added that even though there is evidence the attacker drew inspiration from ISIS, authorities are still investigating his motives. Earnests comments came shortly after law enforcement officials concluded the attacker was likely inspired by ISIS. He also posted a suspicious message to Facebook before the attack. By Allah, we will not let you sleep unless you give peace to the Muslims. You will not celebrate or enjoy any holiday, he wrote in the disturbing post. Btw, every single Muslim who disapproves of my actions is a sleeper cell, waiting for a signal. I am warning you Oh America. That sounds like this has something to do with Islam to usbut of course, Obama is more worried about protecting extremists than the people of this country. What do you think of Obamas response? 
2	Hillary Clintons Campaign Comes Crashing Down After She Was Caught In Front Of The Whole World Doing... According to reports, officials in Washington claim that the Obama administration has just discovered yet another chain of emails that Hillary Clinton failed to turn over to investigators, though she claims she had produced the full record of work-related correspondence. The discovery adds some serious questions to the case. The American public is wondering what the former Secretary of State is hiding from the public, and some believe the emails are sure to contain clues to Benghazi. The discovered messages were exchanged with form top Gen. David Petraeus, before Clinton entered office. While officials claim the messages pertain mostly to personnel matters, they are an indication that Hillary is still unwilling to come forward with the whole truth. The State Department recently informed the House Select Committee on Benghazi that they intend to deliver 925 new emails relating to the incident in Libya. What do you think? Does Hillary need to be kept as far away from the White House as possible?

1	With the summer tourist season now in full gear, officials at Yellowstone National Park expressed a growing sense of concern and agitation Monday about a competing 3,500-square-mile nature reserve that recently opened directly across the street from their own park. According to its detractors, the newly built Yello-Stone Natural Park, draped in strings of multicolored pennant flags and identified by a flashy hand-painted sign, is blatantly attempting to capitalize on the older location's long-established reputation by offering similar flora, fauna, and geothermal features at a cut-rate price. 'That place is absolutely shameless,' Yellowstone superintendent Dan Wenk said. 'We've been delivering breathtaking natural splendor to the public for 139 years, and all of a sudden some out-of-town businessmen slap together a few ecosystems and truck in 3,000 head of bisonare we supposed to believe that's some sort of coincidence?' Some of the numerous features of Yello-Stone Natural Park. 'Just look at that volcanically active caldera the size of Rhode Island they have over there,' Wenk added. 'They completely ripped us off.' Already reeling from budget cuts, the National Park Service acknowledged its new competitor posed a grave threat. Yello-Stone's owners have reportedly installed dozens of modern high-flow geysers, conveniently situated their most impressive ravines just 40 feet from the parking lot, and offered enticing daily promotions, such as 'Pet a Bighorn Sheep Day' and geode giveaways for children under 12. However, Yellowstone's corps of rangers has taken aim at some of the new park's most heavily advertised features, casting doubt on its claim of possessing the World's Largest Boulder and arguing that its so-called Tomb of Lewis and Clark was 'not even close' to being historically accurate. Dismissing these slick attractions and marketing strategies as mere ploys to mask 'shoddy' natural features, Yellowstone chief ranger Tim Reid said many of the rival park's waterfalls were off-kilter, its single grizzly bear appeared mangy and in ill health, and its so-called Flat Rock Plateau was actually just a vacant lot. 'The aurora borealis they have over there isn't half as majestic as ours, and the vistas from their windswept escarpments hardly induce a sense of wonderment,' Reid said. 'Sure, they let people Segway up the mountain passes over there, but it's all meant to distract you from the fact that they simply can't deliver the same pristine natural grandeur.' 'For Christ's sake, they put in palm trees in an old-growth subalpine forest system,' Reid added. 'I can't even believe people are falling for that crap.' When contacted, Yello-Stone's principal owner Rick Zeller, whose park in Northern Arizona is credited with driving the Grand Canyon into bankruptcy in 2007, stated that he was simply exercising his right as an entrepreneur. 'It's a free country. You can build a park wherever you want,' Zeller said. 'We're just giving the people what they wanthigh- elevation alpine lakes, face-painting for the kids from a real Indian, a Continental Divide that'll knock your socks offand we guarantee you'll see a bald eagle or you get a free soft drink on us. You can't beat that.' Hoping to highlight the long history of its nature reserve and minimize visitor confusion, the NPS has reportedly instructed rangers to begin using the name Original Yellowstone Park. In addition, park officials have begun updating signs, brochures, and websites to include the slogan 'Since 1872.' Nonetheless, recent attendance figures reveal that, whether accidentally or intentionally, an increasing number of tourists are visiting the newer park. 'I'd been looking forward to coming here for a long time, but to be honest, I found it pretty underwhelming,' 38-year-old father of two Jeff Danaher said of Yello-Stone. 'The girls really liked tossing pennies into the hot springs and riding the mule deer, but the lodges were kind of shabby and the rangers could only provide a history of the area back to 1992.' 'At least it was great to finally see Old Reliable in person,' Danaher added. 'I had no idea that it spouted every hour on the hour and erupted in sync with classic rock hits each night at 7:30.'

He went out of his way to announce that Islam should not be linked to the terrorist attacks in Paris. He will not accept the fact that these attacks are carried out in the name of Allah. He is not worried about ISIS, and wants to continue to let all people into the US. He also announced that he will not be changing his ISIS strategy in the aftermath of Paris. He believes that ISIS is contained and does not need special attention. Obama sticking up for Muslims. This is nothing new. Should Obama be impeached for putting our country in danger? 
1	After suffering a concussion that sidelined him against the Jacksonville Jaguars last weekend, the Carolina Panthers announced Thursday that All-Pro linebacker Luke Kuechly has undergone a quick brain arthroscopy in order to clean up his cerebral cortex. Earlier today, we successfully scoped Lukes brain and removed some buildup of tissue that had been accumulating in there, said team doctor Donald Randolph, explaining that several small incisions were made in Kuechlys forehead to allow surgeons to go into his cerebrum and remove loose tissue and bone fragments, as well as shave away the worn areas of his frontal and temporal lobes. There was actually quite a bit of fluid inside Lukes skull that had to be drained, and hopefully that will alleviate some discomfort. And as long as he continually ices it for the next 24 to 48 hours, the swelling in his head should be gone by Sunday. Randolph stressed, however, that the surgery was a temporary solution aimed at pain management and recommended that Kuechly undergo a more invasive procedure in the offseason to replace his torn brain stem.

3	Mystery Military Men in Boston Were Part of WMD Response TeamUpdated with video footage showing their reaction to the bomb. After much speculation around the mysterious military contractor types with black backpacks in the bomb zone of the Boston Marathon before and after the explosions took place, it has been revealed that they were part of an elite government WMD response team. There are two CSTs that are engaged out there (in Boston) in theresponse In fact, one of the first images that I saw was the Massachusetts CST was actually right there,saidWisconsin CST commander Lt. Col. David W. May on April 16th. Steve Watson of Infowars reports, CSTs are The National Guards full-time response force for emergencies or terrorist events involving weapons of mass destruction, toxic chemicals, or natural disasters. CSTs are routinely pre-staged at large public events to help mitigate risks and assist civilian authorities. CST units were originally organized under the 10 FEMA regions but now operate in every US state and territory: The keyword response force seems an odd name for units that were clearly working the Boston Marathon prior to bombs going off. According to a report from Global Security Newswire, New Yorks CST was sent to Boston before the marathon: Yet, another reportcontradicts that and says NY 24th WMD-CST showed up only after the bombing. The 24th National Guard WMD-CST team has done exceptional job, not just in New York, but also in Boston where they were on the ground responding to the horrific attack on the marathon, said US Rep. Michael Grimm (R-C-Bay Ridge-Staten Island) of the unit who went to Boston after the bombing. So what is the official version? Were they there before the event or dispatched after the bombing? Regardless, its clear from the photos that this team was in place prior to the event and their role in responding to WMD attacks would seem to explain the radiation detector one of them was carrying after the bomb exploded: This confusion can be that this member may have received training from The Craft whose unofficial motto is Violence does solve problems, according to their website. Now that we know who these mystery men are, it still seems odd that they were lurking in the shadows of a sporting event that happened to experience a terror attack. And it does appear that a backpack carried by one of these agents was the one implicated to have delivered the bomb: Yet, this recently released footage seems to show the same CST guy, still wearing his backpack after the first bomb goes off, running toward the bomb area to be a first responder. As soon as the bomb goes off, these guys seem to jump into action and move bravely toward the explosion while the crowd seeks to scurry away. Again, he still has his backpack on. They come into view at the 5-second mark from the left side of the screen. One thing is certain, the CST was deployed prior to the normally peaceful event and they happened to be at the exact right place (the finish line) at the exact right time (just before the bombs went off).

There is no doubt that the topic was controversial, but perhaps the most shocking part of the video is an interaction that David has with the member of the MSA. The member then went on to reveal the intention of her visit to the meeting. The students statements are both racist and harmful. Watch the video below and tell us what you think: 
3	You Can Now Be Put in Jail For Taking A Screenshot With Your PhoneBy Michaela Whitton But like anything on the Web, quick fingers can screenshot anything. Reassurances from Snapchat that senders will be notified if the app detects a screen grab offer little consolation to users. As a result, British authorities have taken things a step further by issuing a severe warning to those thinking of saving the sexy snaps (authorities have also attempted to force apps with encryption capabilities, like Snapchat, to share private data them with them). The Independent reports that users caught screen-grabbing images and sharing them without the owners consent could be sued and face jail time. Under U.K. copyright law, it is illegal to copy an image and make it available to the public without consent. The original owner can sue anyone who does this for copyright infringement. In addition, those caught saving and sharing raunchy snaps could be looking at a much more serious crime. Those convicted of violating Section 33 of the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015 which deems it an offence to disclose private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress could face up to two years behind bars. According to a Channel 4 News investigation, Generation Sex, the sharing of explicit pictures has become normal teenage behaviour in the U.K. I get asked for naked picturesat least two or three times a week, one 15-year-old girl said. Jon Brown of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) said the investigation uncovered a very regular and normal consumption of hardcore adult pornography by 13-16 year olds. He said the sharing of explicit sexual imagery via photos and video clips is now extremely normal, adding, I think its important to recognise what was previously regarded as unusual, concerning, or sensationalist, now has in fact become the norm. While the U.K. governments crackdown may be a step forward in punishing those guilty of sharing other peoples messages without their consent, what about those that go undetected among the billions shared each day? As a cautionary measure, it would be wise for users to think twice before sending images they wouldnt want everyone to see.

If you spot a typo, email edits@theantimedia.org. Fck the evil government! They are terrorists and murderers! 1. If the photograph is shared by the person who took it, with other Snapchat users, the person can not have a reasonable expectation of privacy, as they ARE SHARING IT. Simply by sharing it, they are giving permission for it to be reproduced. They are NOT just sharing it with other Snapchat users. Before it is shared with ANYONE, it is being shared with the Snapchat service itself. It is already being shared with other entities than the intended recipient. 2. Sharing sexties is not against the law. In the UK, even with the existence of Section 33 of the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015. You cannot charge someone under that act, because someone who willingly is looking at sexually explicit images is NOT suffering distress. Sure, if someone shares an image sent to only one person, with the intent of doing damage to the reputation of the author of the image, or causing stress, yes, they can be charged. But simply sharing something that has already been shared publicly cannot land one behind bars. Anyone uploading personal sexual images should expect them to get leaked anyway. This is the internet for crying out loud. Any court would agree. Unless it were something like a court in Iran or Saudi Arabia. Nice sum up prophet. I have never used snapchat or the doodle but these young uns (apparently) get caught up in the sexting partthey just dont realize that these pics will be around for ever, certainly not anything to be sent to jail over. Simply more gubberment spreading more control and fear. Abundant,yes,normal,no. If a 13 yo is sending nasty pics, something went wrong in her life and she needs help,not protection from any consequences of what shes doing. If an adult can be charged for even accidently seeing a naked pic of a minor on the net, said kid should at least face fines for lewdness.pass a law stating only 18 and up are allowed to post their filth anywhere in the net. THE JEALOUSY IS SO RAMPANT THE BUTTHURT SCREAMS FOUL PLAY IN POLITICS OMFG GET SUM BALLS AND LEARN HOW TO TALK TO WOMEN INSTEAD OF CRACKING DOWN ON PEOPLE WHO ENJOY THE SENSUAL NATURE OF WOMANKIND OMFG WE ARE ADORING OF HER FIGURE HER SOUL AND FEMININE ESSENCE!!

1	BOSTONFollowing three trips to the confessional in recent months, Paul McMullen has a backlog of 20 recitations of the rosary, the 32-year-old Catholic reported Monday. 'Father O'Riordan gave me three rosaries last time, five the time before, and I still had 12 left over from last month,' McMullan said. 'I tried doing the 'Hail Marys' and the 'Our Fathers' on my way to work, but I kept losing my place during the Sorrowful Mysteries.' McMullan said he plans to stop going to confession for a few months so he can catch up. 
3	Seven Volcanoes In Six Different Countries: Your Questions AnsweredChris Carrington This is bulls*%t, the volcanoes are just doing what volcanoes do. Its not bullshit, but you are correct that its what volcanoes do. Volcanoes are vents, when the pressure builds up the volcanoes release a mixture of steam and gases, and sometimes rocks and molten rock, lava, to relieve the pressure build up. According to the Smithsonian Institute there are some 1511 active volcanoes on the planet. Active is defined as a volcano that has erupted at some point during the last 10,000 years. The Smithsonian states that on average there are 60 eruptions a year, but that between 45 and 75 would be considered within normal parameters. Today, at this moment 34 volcanoes are actively erupting. The Smithsonian state that up to 20 volcanoes erupting on a given day would be within the normal parameters. The reason the daily figure is such a large proportion of the yearly figure is simply because some volcanoes are always erupting, Stromboli and Kilauea are good examples of this, though there are others included in the daily count. So, based on the Smithsonian figures we are well above the daily amount of expected eruptions. It was having seven distinct and not constantly erupting volcanoes erupting within hours of each other that grabbed my attention yesterday. Yes and no. Volcanoes spew out a massive amount of gases, many of them on the global warming hit list so yes, they contribute to the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere BUT, this is more than offset by the cooling effect of the gases, ash and particulate matter which lowers the mean global temperature. You can read about various volcanic gaseshere. The Mayans said it would end in fire They also mentioned floods, and I think they got the date wrong. I am not familiar with all the Mayan prophesies so I think I should stick to the bits of science I understand. Its the End Times, its Gods will I cant comment on that. You need a tinfoil hat, everythings a conspiracy? Im not saying that, not at all, though Evan Pugh Professor Richard Alley of Penn State did once say in a televised lecture that if volcanoes communicated they could take over the world. His work in ice core analysis has provided much of the information we currently have about how volcanoes have affected our climate in the past. What was the biggest eruption of all time? The Siberian Traps eruption some 250 million years ago . In recorded history the largest eruption was Tambora in 1815. Is this uptick in activity anything to do with comet Ison? In my opinion no, but Im not an astrophysicist, actually Im not any kind of scientist so what I should say is I dont know. Ison is continuing its nose-dive towards the Sun. I dont think there is enough solid matter left for it to influence volcanic activity at such a distance. There would be no gravitational effects for example. As an aside did you see this shot of Isons tail? Its so long it would cover the distance between the earth and the Moon 21 times over. (source) An increasing number of scientists are starting to look at the influence that activity on the Sun plays on the Earths geological processes and climate. Many now agree that the number of sunspots can affect climate on Earth, but no conclusions have yet been reached on if they can also have an effect on volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Research in the Earths orbital cycles and the effect they have on crustal processes is further advanced than the sunspot/geology research. These orbital cycles move us closer, or further away from the Sun depending on where we are in the cycle so it looks like the Sun itself could have an effect on geological processes in its own right. They are called Milankovich cycles and although they were described more than a century ago their existence was only finally confirmed in 1976. you can read more about them here. Pole shift is the cause There is no evidence that terrestrial pole shift has ever occurred. The drifting and coming together of the continents is well documented, as is their drifting apart again over a period of millions of years. Terrestrial pole shift where the continents physically move suddenly and violently is not evidenced anywhere in the geologic record at this point. Magnetic pole shift does occur, has always occurred, and will continue to do so. This is evidenced in the geologic record. Science has not yet found a connection between magnetic pole shift and volcanic eruptions but thats not saying they wont do so in the future. You are an alarmist, a few minor volcanoes erupting will not affect anything. You think? Well thats your right. In my opinion there is nothing alarming about pointing out that volcanic activity has increased and continues to increase. As stated above the Pinatubo eruption in 1992 reduced global temperatures for years. It doesnt have to be one large eruption to do that, enough small ones will have the same effect. Our climate moves in cycles, always has and always will, and at this point we are in a cooling cycle. Add to that the research that points to sunspot activity causing cooling, and then add on the cooling caused by vulcanism and the result is a distinct possibility of a more profound cooling than might have otherwise been expected. The government says nothing, warns of nothing, so we have to research and read and find out for ourselves. Many people dont physically have the time to find out for themselves, they are too busy working every hour God sends to feed their families. Thats where alternative news websites come in. Now, if Im wrong, and we get all toastywarmgreat, fantastic, I hate the cold. If, however, this is a trend thats set to continue then sharing what I believe to be correct information is not just the right thing to do, its something I feel obligated to do.

1	Noting the degree to which he likes to say rhyming words as a type of music, sources confirmed this week that a hip-hop man very much enjoys creating musical rapping sounds with his mouth and recording said sounds for the purpose of commercial release. He is a very good hip-hop man, he frequently performs the rhythmic rapping of words, and it is clear that he finds it enjoyable to use his mouth as a sort of word-rhyming instrument, said Tyler Bodris, an admirer of the hip-hop man. His musical rap noises are of a high quality, he is a successful rapping person, and he is my favorite of the various hip-hop men and women. Sources also confirmed that the hip-hop man sounds like he is talking but is in fact making mouth-based rapping noises in what can only be described as an accompaniment, in a sense, to a drumming man, or rather the simulation of a drumming man. 
1	Reiterating the movie theaters longstanding policy, employees at Barton Creek Cinema confirmed Thursday that customers are strictly prohibited from bringing in their own films. If anyone is caught sneaking outside movies into our theater, they will be politely asked to leave, said general manager Joel Armstrong, noting that ushers had been instructed to look for any 35mm film canisters, reel-to-reel projectors, or surround sound speaker systems that ticket holders might be attempting to conceal on their person and carry into the theater. Showing movies is actually how we make a lot of our money here, so in order to keep providing our clientele with a top-quality viewing experience, its important that customers watch only those movies that we are offering. That is why we ask all patrons to kindly leave their full-length documentary features and action films at home. Armstrong added that if customers are intent on viewing their own motion pictures, they must finish them up in the parking lot before entering the building. 
2	Obamas Latest Executive Order Will Have You Trembling With Anger Last week, the nation mourned the lives of ten Christian college students who were killed in a senseless mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Oregon. Rather than confronting the hate crime, Obama used the opportunity to push his anti-gun agenda. Now, it turns out that Obama is gearing up for yet another executive order. The president has frequently pushed his team to consider a range of executive actions that could more effectively keep guns out of the hands of criminals and others who shouldnt have access to them, Josh Earnest claimed at the beginning of the week. Thats something that is ongoing here. The statement came after presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton confessed that she intends to take executive action against guns if she is voted president. The measure she proposes would expand background checks on gun buyers. I dont have anything to announce at this point, Earnest continued. But we certainly welcome the kind of debate that Secretary Clinton is continuing. Earnest also went on to confess that Obama is doing what he can to address gun violence.

1	Although first lady Laura Bush 'very much appreciated' the wedding anniversary card she recently received from President Bush, she said she 'harbored suspicions' that its inscription is the work of one of the commander in chief's speechwriters. 'Make no mistake, my beloved spouse: This marriage has been an enduring achievement that will continue to make significant strides well into the 21st century,' the pastel-colored document read. 'As a president and a husband, I pledge to you that I will not cut and run from the greatest wife in the world. I believe marriage is between one man and one woman, and, make no mistake, I would marry you all over again.' Mrs. Bush has placed the card on the Roosevelt Library fireplace mantle next to the card her husband sent on her last birthday, which urged renewed cooperation, defined life as beginning at 50, and had puppies on it. 
2	Ted Cruz Goes In Front Of Camera And SLAMS Obama For All Of America To See [VIDEO] After being blatantly insulted by President Obama over his refugee plan, presidential candidate Ted Cruz is taking a stand. Clearly, he is not afraid to call the President on his bluff, and the video is going viral. I find it pretty remarkable that President Obama has chosen two days in a row to attack me directly, Cruz begins. He called me offensive. The day before, he called me un-American. Cruz also went on to claim that Obama was attacking everyone else in this country who believes that we should not be bringing in tens of thousands of Syrian Muslim refugees. Let me suggest something Mr. President, Cruz challenges, you can do it overseas, you can do it in Turkey, you can do it in foreign countries. But I would encourage you Mr. President, come back and insult me to my face. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is this a debate youre dying to see? 
2	Chuck Norris Destroys Liberals Who Think The Flag Is Offensive As you may have heard, Liberals recently made the claim that the American flag is offensive, and there have been several stories regarding people being asked to take the flag down. Recently, celebrity Chuck Norris decided to speak out on the matter on social media: Am I missing something? Do you remember the days when Americans not only used to be proud to fly Old Glory but frowned upon neighbors who did not? These flag-flying travesties wouldnt be so tragic if they werent becoming so prevalent and symptomatic of an America gone awry from its original mission and founders intent. So, for this July 4, I say we not only fly Old Glory proud and high but also remind our families, friends, co-workers and neighbors exactly why we do. And what about those who oppose Old Glorys posting? Take your orders and never forget the words of Gen. Douglas MacArthur: I see that the old flagpole still stands. Have our troops hoist the colors to its peak, and let no enemy ever haul them down. Then dont hesitate for a moment to place your hand over your heart and say loud and proud for all to hear: I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. What do you think? Did Chuck Norris sum it up perfectly? Are you tired of hearing Liberals deem everything offensive?

Responding to the recent rash of jitterbugging, British taxation without representation, and talk of the Teapot Dome scandal, the deceased leader called on all citizens to 'join me and Bess in saving up scrap iron for the war so our boys over there can drive the Spanish back.' Truman also urged citizens to use caution when using whale-blubber-burning oil lamps. 
2	Monica Crowley Leaves Fans Devastated But For Good Reason... Are You Proud Of Her Monica Crowley has been a fantastic addition to Fox News, but now it appears she is moving on to bigger and better things. According to recent reports, Crowley has been invited to become the deputy national security adviser in the Trump administration. I am deeply honored, humbled and grateful to be asked by the President-elect to join the extraordinary national security team he is assembling, Crowley commented of the honor. Upon hearing the news, Fox terminated her contract. It is clear Crowley is passionate about the future. With vision, courage and moral clarity, he is committed fully to re-establishing Americas singular place in the world, Crowley added. He is also committed to selecting the best people for the jobs of keeping the American people safe and the country secure. It will be a great privilege to serve with them. Crowley has been vocal in her criticisms of President Obama and his inability to acknowledge radical Islamic terrorism. Now, she will be in a prime position to make a difference where it really counts. Crowley began her political career as a foreign policy assistant to Richard Nixon. What do you think? Will she be a great addition to Trumps team? 
1	In response to a 184-page papal encyclical that urges immediate action to address the environmental and social consequences of global warming, a coalition of frustrated Republican leaders issued statements Thursday arguing that Pope Francis should leave scientific matters to scientists who deny climate change. Frankly, its not really anyones place to make declarations about climate science or global temperature changes unless theyre a scientific expert who has spent years rejecting the concept of climate change, said former Florida governor Jeb Bush, who added that the pope had neither studied climate science nor ever been among the 3 percent of researchers who stand in opposition to the overwhelmingly dominant position held by the scientific community on climate change, so he had no business speaking on the subject. Personally, I would never trust anyone as an authority on climate change unless they had done years of research and published papers claiming there isnt enough conclusive evidence yet. The pope should just stick to theology and let the several dozen scientists who support the scientifically disproven point of view on global warming do the talking. Bush also told reporters that Pope Francis was unqualified to issue policy recommendations of any kind unless he had personally accepted money from the fossil fuel industry.

2	The New York Times Accidentally Reveals Obamas Resignation Recently, the New York Times came under fire after they sent out a tweet reading, Live video: Obama resignation press conference here [link]. Dont get too excited, though. While the tweet had some people anxiously clicking to see the president resign, the NYT actually meant to tell their readers about the press conference surrounding Attorney General Eric Holders resignation. Moments later, they sent out a follow-up tweet stating: Correction: Live video: Watch Obama announces Attorney General resignation press conference here [link]. And while the correction tweet still made very little since, it also was too little too late. Their previous tweet had already made its rounds on the social media platform.

1	CINCINNATIA 737 traveling from Cincinnati to Salt Lake City was lost with all passengers and crew Monday when cash-strapped Delta Airlines, the aircraft's operator, canceled Flight 1060 en route. Delta Flight 1060, which was forced to land in an Indiana cornfield after being canceled mid-flight. According to a statement from Delta, the midair cancellation was made as part of the company's plan to cut continental service by 25 percent and emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy with an economically viable business strategy. 'Delta Airlines regrets any inconvenience to our valued customers,' the statement read in part. 'Unfortunately, in today's uncertain economy, service interruptions and cancellations are inevitable.' Air-traffic-control personnel reported that Flight 1060 was at cruising altitude when Delta cancelled the flight. According to the aircraft's black-box flight recorder, the crew announced the cancellation over the intercom, instructed passengers to gather their luggage from overhead bins for disembarking, then shut down all aircraft systems. At 9:46 a.m. Central time, Flight 1060's tracking designation vanished from air-traffic-control radar screens. Approximately 15 minutes later, the aircraft crashed in a cornfield outside Tipton, IN, killing all onboard. While Delta officials are blaming the cancellation on financial troubles, other problems, such as high fuel costs and bad weather, have caused delays and lost profits for airlines in recent months. Passengers at San Diego International Airport await news of more midair cancellations. 'Airlines have been compensating for recent shortfalls by canceling flights, as well as overbooking,' airline-industry observer Gerard Mendez said. 'These things never fail to irritate customersespecially when they're done in midairbut unfortunately, the airline industry is a business like any other, and as it becomes increasingly competitive, these sorts of frustrations are taking place more and more.' In May, Delta officials made an adjustment for an overbooked flight by bumping six passengers from Flight 400 somewhere over the Allegheney Mountains. Delta Airlines spokesperson Clarice Waddell said that, in cases of cancellation and overbooking, the airline does everything it can to accommodate its customers' travel plans. Said Waddell: 'When we're forced to bump passengers from a moving airplane, we always offer meal vouchers or SkyMiles credits.' Consolidating flights is another controversial cost-cutting measure used by Delta in recent months. Delta's last attempt to consolidate flights in midair, in December 2005, resulted in the total destruction of two 747s, which exploded in a large fireball approximately 35,000 feet over central Arizona. Although the loss of these planes was recoupable as a tax deduction for the airline, Waddell stressed that Delta nonetheless regretted any unfortunate repercussions the decision may have had on the company's top prioritythe customer.

If you werent already convinced that this is true, after reading this article and watching this video, you will be. Ben and his dog, Denali, had been together since the beginning. They had been through everything together. They had a once in a lifetime chemistry and were inseparable. However, one day Ben was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. He was bedridden in the hospital, and things werent looking so good. Denali refused to leave his side. He wouldnt even leave the hospital room until Ben finally recovered and was sent home. Just months later, their worlds were shattered once again. This time, Denali was diagnosed with cancer. Ben refused to leave Denalis side. He was there, day and night. He decided to make a film in a tribute to his life. One morning, Denali woke up, and Ben knew that this would be his last day. Denali gave him a look that said, thank you for this great life, and later on that day, he passed away. There is nothing like the bond between a man and his dog. It is truly special. Watch the tribute in the video below, it will melt your heart. 
2	New Law Proposed That Will Require Low Income Mothers To Do THIS According to recent reports, Representative Kim Hammer of Arkansas has just proposed a bill that would offer a contraception incentive to low-income single mothers participating in the states Medicaid program. The bill, HB 1868, calls for the state to pay for contraception for unmarried mothers of one child who are participating in Medicaid. Women would grant permission to have a surgically implanted device, like and IUD or Norplant, which would last for five years. The plan is designed to reduce the number of children that eventually become the burden of taxpayers. Often young people make decisions and they get a sense that they dont want to make that decision again for awhile, Hammer told Arkansas News. We need to give them a little bit of a breather to think about their life decisions that are affecting us as taxpayers. Hammer has often come under fire from Democrats and liberals for being a pro-life support, and the bill comes just weeks after former Republican Senator Russell Pearce resigned. Before doing so, he vowed he would make female recipients of Medicaid get Norplant, birth-control implants, or tubal litigations. This is just one of many efforts attempted at placing a cap on the number of children born to low-income mothers. These bills have seen push back from Democrats in the past, and many are expecting the same for this new proposal.

3	U.S. Control of the Internet Is About to be Given Away to Oppressive GovernmentsBy Joshua Krause IANA is a department with the Department of Commerce, and is responsible for allocating global IP addresses and managing the global Domain Name System. Its probably the closest thing the Internet has to a central authority. However, its not going to be American for much longer. In 2014 the Department of Commerce decided to give IANA away to international authorities, and since then IANA has been slowly transitioning out of the control of our government. Beginning on October 1st of this year, it will be under the full control of Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a non-profit corporation with representatives from 111 different countries. The problem with this, is that the US government cant hand over federal property without the approval of Congress, which they dont have in this case. More importantly, opponents of this move fear that once the Internet is no longer under US control, oppressive countries like China will be able to exert more control over the Internet. Theyll be able to pressure US Internet companies to aid in censoring large swaths of the Internet. 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. Image Credit I am heartbroken at the complete and total destruction of the US in only 7 short years. I honestly dont know if there is any hope? I dont even know what can be done as it appears everything is corrupted? Im not even sure Donald Trump can bring it back. Everything of tangible relevance/value has been taken or given away from the US. Now all it has is its third world economy, the military, the Hollywood propaganda globalist machine and the militarized police forces to crush the soon to be desperate citizens. At its core its a deeply totalitarian and painful situation. What a horrifying and sad end to a great nation. the complete and total destruction of the US in only 7 short years. I hate Obama too but are you saying the Bush years were better? Im not even sure Donald Trump can bring it back. The same Trump that robs his shareholders and cant actually get a loan from a US bank anymore because his credit is so bad? and who has so far refused to release his tax returns. Getting Trumps taxes is meaningless. He funded his own primary run, and no one owns him. All presidential candidates in history have had to make public their tax returns as a matter of transparency The IRS is holding Trumps tax returns hostage to make him look bad. No reason they cant expedite an audit for a Presidential candidate unless the current administration doesnt want them to. Im heartbroken too, but Noam has a good point, its been a long time coming. Lots of big inflection points to bring us to our knees such as the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, engineered wars, assassination of JFK, 9/11, Patriot Acts, etc. We can still stand up if a lot more people get a clue, and soon! Theres no end to the learned helplessness conditioning going on. Were far more powerful conscious beings than weve been brainwashed to believe. Believe people! Blue is telling you the truth! Thanks, Brett. Did you happen to see the Soros Got Hacked, Can You Guess What We Found New World Next Week podcast posted yesterday on A.P.? See whats at the 4:59 time mark (blue579)? Well, at least someone is paying attention. Cheers, mate. Trump will fix it and fix it fast. quoted from the Donald at the Wings over the Rockies hanger circa a few weeks ago. All things political move toward the finalization of THE BEAST SYSTEM and a One World Governing body overseen by a single individual: the anti-Christ. We are in the prelude to those end times. There is no hope outside of Jesus and being protected by our heavenly Father. No president can save us, no laws can save us, no fancy weapons, supplies, and other trinket junk will save us. YOU CANNOT EVEN SAVE YOURSELF. It is wise to prepare, but at the end of the day, you need to know that everything goes according to Gods plans. (whether you like them or not!) Once the Internet becomes CLOSED DOWN to all unapproved traffic, then the REAL deceptions and false narratives will begin to make you believe whatever they want you to believe, You will no longer have a choice between the red pill or blue pill. You will have one choice, the BLUE PILL, and you will wake up believing whatever it is they want you to believe because there will be no counter-narrative to it. Every truther out there you currently scoff, mock, and jeer at will disappear. You will not hear anything else that makes you uncomfortable with your skewed worldviews. Trolls will disappear because there will be just one voice and trolls that rail against the established narrative will have SWAT teams murder them at their keyboards. There will be no more Internet bullying because the NWO wants emotional babies to govern where appeals to emotion is good enough and appeals to reason are nonexistent. You will be able to PURCHASE things via Internet and pay your bills online, but past that, you will only receive info that has been vetted as SAFE by the powers that be. (those powers that be are all psychopathic Satanists) I agree; except that I believe in the power of prayer, and that we should pray and put our trust in God. At the same time, we must be able to discriminate between what is true and what is false. We can pray for discernment, and we still have our conscienceunless we just accept whatever we are told. Congress? What congress? petitions ? Please post if you see any You know, after years of Bush and then Obama I could care less about Trumps taxes! We just need America fixed and since the politicians are always too busy re-running for congress So why not Trump, arent we in a And, maybe the American people will win, finally! There is lots of conspiracy and there is lots of speculation and if the internet were trust worthy it would not mean a thing because you can disconnect it.I can live without it can you? WHY was the Internet given away? WHY did America allow this anti-American, Muslim enemy of Freedom and LIberty give away the Internet to American enemies? WHY? 
3	Police Introduce Restraining Bags in Escalation of War Against the Mentally IllBy Isaac Davis Earlier this year the New York Police Department (NYPD), an organization of some 34,000 uniformed officers and an annual budget surpassing $5 billion, introduced a new crime fighting device, the restraining bag, or as it is sometimes affectionately called, the burrito. It is essentially a full-body sized duffel bag that officers can stuff a perpetrator into and cart him off to jail like a piece of luggage. Manufactured by DeSantis Gunhide, a division of HELGEN Industries Inc., the EDP bag, which is an acronym for emotionally disturbed person, retails from $750 to $899 and has already been used hundreds of times in 2016 by the NYPD.As reported by Gothamist, the EDP bag was used 122 times in a 110-day periodbetween January and April of 2016, with one very disturbing incident being caught on video by a concerned bystander. The man restrained in the bag in the video posted in March allegedly failed to pay his subway fare, the Times reports, and hes said to have became violent when officers tried to arrest him, flailing his arms, kicking, and spitting. He allegedly struck one officer in the head with his elbow and injured another. He now faces charges for felony assault, among othersbut his lawyer, Andrew Miller, says thats completely backwards. The idea, as were told, is that the bag will protect police officers from seriously disturbed people, but apparently the definition of emotionally disturbed is so loose that it includes the most basic hopeless efforts of resisting arrest or actively protesting treatment by police, even for crimes as trivial as failure to pay for the subway. Use of such restraint traumatizes a person in emotional distress and exacerbates the condition and experience of the crisis for the individual. It is a dehumanizing tactic, and promotes stigma against people with mental health issues. Carla Rabinowitz, of Community Access In reality, however, this is yet another abuse in the long and growing list of dehumanizing measuresbeing usedby American law enforcement in the pursuit of exacting total government control over any beings who inhabit the physical space known as the United States of America. And people with mental health problems do have greater reason to be afraid of police as it is shockingly common for officers to use deadly force against the deaf, the autistic, the deranged, or the out of control, even when contacted by family members who are seeking help in resolving non-violent conflict. According to the website Cops Plus: New York officers are familiar with the unfortunate routine of bringing in an emotionally-disturbed person (EDP) to the psychiatric emergency room or temporarily to a holding cell. With these incidents in mind, DeSantis has developed the EDP Bag to specifically meet the needs of professionals in Emergency Service Units. The bag is a modern straightjacket reinvented, securing EDPs from the scene of an incident and safely transporting them to a hospital for appropriate care if they pose a danger to themselves or others. The durable bag features seven carry handles for an even weight distribution. Crafted from strengthened, porous materials, the bag allows for bodily fluids to pass. DeSantis bag is easy to clean and disinfect after each use. Instead of re-thinking brutal tactics or increasing accountability for officers likeDaniel Pantaleo who choked New Yorker Eric Garner, a father of six, to death for illegally selling cigarettes on the street, the NYPD is doubling down on its intent to control people at all costs, even though the result will undoubtedly be a greater rift between citizens and police. If people in the mental health community find out that their fate is to be put in a body bag, they will fight even harder to not get into a body bag. Carla Rabinowitz, of Community Access The roots of the problem lie in training, lack of accountability, militarization, hiring practices, a culture of brotherhood and a general shift in consciousness of local, state, and national government, and new devices and tactics like these are only a symptom of these problems.

A lot of folks appear to be moving in the direction youve so elequently expressed. As long as cops remain immune from brutality, harm and abuse, they will continue to accelerate the use of such inhumane systems and devices. Presently, cops can use these killing devices without any judge signing off on the use thereof. Cops make all of these decisions in situ, and their actions are ignored because none of the leadership in this country can imagine that they or their own families and friends would be treated like this. Since the cops are already stunning these folks, whats the point of hamstringing and oppressing people like this other than to send a clear signal to every other American that you are next. THEY ARE THE SCUM THAT BELONGS IN THE BAG. Its difficult to fight when you have corporations (and those who earn a living through them) who are all too eager to capitalize by helping tyrants. This is psychopathic, my god. a better solution is training of course. Orwe could just put the police in protective bubbles so the whiny little whimps dont have to be scared of their own freaking shadows. The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act and the brain initiative are the worst scams ever perpetrated on the American people. Former U. S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin Warns: Biochips Hazardous to Your Health: Warning, biochips may cause behavioral changes and high suicide rates. State Attorney Generals are to revoke the licenses of doctors and dentists that implant chips in patients. Chip used illegally for GPS, tracking, organized crime, communication and torture. Virginia state police have been implanting citizens without their knowledge and consent for years and they are dying! Check out William and Marys site to see the torture enabled by the biochip and the Active Denial System. See Terrorism and Mental Health by Amin Gadit or A Note on Uberveillance by MG Katina Michael or Safeguards in a World of Ambient Intelligence by Springer or Mind Control, Microchip Implants and Cybernetics. Check out the audio spotlight by Holosonics. The truth is the biochip works like a sim card. It received pulsed modulated laser beams and millimeter wave which it converts into electromagnetic waves that your brain interprets into digital images and sound. It then takes what your brain sees and hears and converts electromagnetic waves into digital and acoustic waves that a computer translates into audio and video. In other words, it allows law enforcement to see what you see, hear what you hear and communicate directly with your brain. Former Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) director and now Google Executive, Regina E. Dugan, has unveiled a super small, ingestible microchip that we can all be expected to swallow by 2017. A means of authentication, she calls it, also called an electronic tattoo, which The ARRA authorizes payments to the states in an effort to encourage Medicaid Providers to adopt and use certified EHR technology aka biochips. ARRA will match Medicaid $5 for every $1 a state provides. Hospitals are paid $2 million to create crisis stabilization wards (Gitmos) where state police torture people even unto death. They stopped my heart 90 times in 6 hours. Virginia Beach EMTs were called to the scene. Mary E. Schloendorff, v. The Society of New York Hospital 105 N. E. 92, 93 (N. Y. 1914) Justice Cardozo states, every human being of adult years and sound mind has a right to determine what shall be done with his own body; and a surgeon who performs an operation without his patients consent, commits an assault, for which he is liable in damages. (Pratt v Davis, 224 Ill. 300; Mohr v Williams, 95 Minn. 261.) This case precedent requires police to falsely arrest you or kidnap you and call you a mental health patient in order to force the implant on you. You can also be forced to have a biochip if you have an infectious disease like Eboli or Aids. Coalition of Justice vs the City of Hampton, VA settled a case out of court for $500,000 and removal of the biochip. Torture is punishable by $1,000 per day up to $2 million; Medical battery is worth $2.05 million. They told my family it was the brain initiative. I checked with the oversight board, and it is not! Mark Warner told me it was research with the Active Denial System by the College of William and Mary, the USAF, and state and local law enforcement. It is called IBEX and it is excruciating. I have had 3 surgeries at the site of the implant and need another. It causes cancer! Ive been tortured for 8 years by Virginia law enforcement. Thousands of innocent Virginians are being tortured and murdered by criminal cops. Please help us get the word out to end these heinous atrocities. The pain is 24/7. The VA DCJS sent me a letter stating cops can get keys to anyones home and steal anything they please. The governor knows and takes his cut. Senator Kaine said the FBI is not involved so he cant help. Check out Virginias Casual Disregard for the Constitution at forbes dot com. Check out Richard Cains case. They are torturing infants and children. The active denial system comes in rifle form and can murder without leaving a mark. I have had two heart attacks and am blessed to be alive.

2	BREAKING: Bill Cosby Makes Massive Admission About Previous Accusations According to recent reports, Bill Cosby has testified that he purchased Quaaludes to give to young women before having sex with them. The admission was originally made in 2005, according to testimony documents obtained by the Huffington Post. The report from the Huffington Post is as follows: The AP had gone to court to compel the release of the documents; Cosbys lawyers had objected on the grounds that it would embarrass their client. The 77-year-old comedian was testifying under oath in a lawsuit filed by a former Temple University employee. He testified he gave her three half-pills of Benadryl. Cosby settled that sexual-abuse lawsuit for undisclosed terms in 2006. His lawyers in the Philadelphia case did not immediately return phone calls Monday. The report is a bombshell after more than two dozen women have now come forward to accuse Cosby of sexual harassment and rape. The incidents span more than 40 years. What do you think? Is Cosby guilty? 
1	According to reports from Tuesdays presidential debate at Hofstra University, every member of the town hall audience has a spouse who is battling late-stage cancer, the treatment for which they cannot afford because all of them have lost their health insurance within the past year. My name is Marjorie Cochran, and my husband Robert was diagnosed with stage IV lymphoma just days after being dropped by his HMO, said an audience member, who, like the individuals seated to her left, right, front, and back, has been laid off from her job, is worried she wont be able to afford to send her daughter to college, owns a home that has gone into foreclosure, lives in a school district that has enacted painful budget cuts, and has a child currently serving in Afghanistan. My question to you is, how can I afford the life-saving procedures and medication my husband needs, considering Im just barely able to keep my small business afloat in this terrible economic climate? Thank you. Cochran, along with every other attendee at the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex, then nodded in solemn agreement when a woman asked a follow-up question about how the candidates expected her to support her young child with special needs on a single salary. 
3	Community Gardening: The Plot Against HungerChristina Sarich Not only do community gardens draw people to together from various backgrounds regarding their age, race, culture and social class, they also grow more than food the involvement in social community usually leads to long term relationships among people that might not ordinarily network. The seeds of change are planted in the ground, but also through fostering new generations of mindful individuals. Like the guerrilla gardener, Ron Finley of LA says, if children plant kale, they eat kale. I recently spent an entire Saturday afternoon at one of my local community gardens, one of a dozen or more scattered throughout the city proper and one of literally a hundred or more spread throughout nearby suburbs. In the United States, there are currently over 18,000 community gardens, and the number is growing. I was surprised to learn the other benefits of community gardening that werent so apparent upon first glance. Community gardening reduces crime rates. Take one community in North Philadelphia that was once full of vacant, rundown buildings and plagued with crime, drugs, trash and derelict people as much as derelict infrastructure. A group of women decided to build the Las Parcelas Cummunity Garden and Kitchen. Not only did it improve crime rates, it caused a ripple effect and people started taking care of their own properties, looking out for one another and completely transformed their neighborhood. Community gardening provides organic food to some people who might not otherwise be able to afford it. At the community garden I volunteered at, I found out that entire immigrant families supplemented their food bills with organic produce from their family plots, about 5-foot by 7-foot of soil, made to grow everything from spinach to onions, winter squash, kale, turnips, edible flowers, and so on. They even grew enough to give extra to their neighbors. They learned organic gardening skills, complete with water catchment, companion gardening and other skills. Community gardens plant crops that arent always available in grocery stores, and keep heirloom seeds (i.e., non-GMO) growing strong for a steady organic seed supply. Community gardens give elders in the community a voice for their knowledge and expertise in areas we have often forgotten due to urban living. Community gardens teach younger generations the importance of sustainability and being sovereign. If you can grow your own food, it wont matter so much that Monsanto is trying to poison you. Eating locally grown organic vegetables reduces seasonal allergies and asthma because individuals are exposed to the pollen from their area, thus increasing their immunity to local flowering plants and trees. Many studies prove that people who raise kids in community gardens eat more healthfully. In an age where obesity is even now affecting children, this makes a huge difference in the overall health of a society, as well as lowers health care costs. Being in green spaces has proven to reduce stress. Community gardens provide a place to compost many items that would normally end up in landfills, like paper cups, paper towels, leaves, grass clippings, food scraps, etc. Putting these organic wastes back in the soil make the use of fertilizers unnecessary. Community gardens reduce air pollution. In many cases, it is cheaper to maintain a community garden with a volunteer staff than it is to maintain a park. Property values increase with community gardens. Not only did I shut down my active thoughts, but a form of meditation ensued when I dug in the dirt, planted seeds, and hauled soil back and forth in a wheelbarrow. I felt inspired while I was gardening, knowing that the mulch I put down for eggplant would soon yield a crop for many peoples dinner tables. I even went home with some fresh sage, rosemary, and basil that would have easily cost me $30 or more at my local Whole Foods Market. That was just the cherry on top of a perfect day. I met grandmothers and children who were passionate about gardening. I learned about how to make compost tea and lay down newspapers to prevent weeds. Im definitely going back. I got a great workout, and my mind felt refreshed after several hours of digging in the ground. While I have gardened off and on over the years depending on where I lived, even growing some vegetables in patio containers, Ive come to realize that community gardening is my new love. There is so much more to learn. You can check out the American Community Gardening Association if you live in the US, and there are similar websites throughout the world. If you dont have a community garden in your community, think of starting one.

2	Tim McGraw Would Risk His Whole Career For THIS One Thing, I Never Expected This Tim McGraw is a super star. There is no question about that. He has been a top artist for years and has even acted in an award winning film. He has built his career and is almost at the pinnacle. That doesnt me he wouldnt give all of it up. Is he crazy for even thinking about giving up this amazing career? No, he is the furthest thing away from crazy. The one thing that he truly loves is the thing that he would give his entire career for. That one thing is the most important thing to him and many Americans. That one thing that he loves so much is his beautiful family. He has three daughters with his wife Faith Hill. The couple has been a power couple from the very moment they met. They both had amazing careers but when they married they made one thing clear. Family would always come first. Nothing else mattered other than being with family and supporting the family. Both superstars said that nothing else mattered. They would schedule their family time and then everything else would have to form around it. They even said that they would give up music for their family. This is the most touching thing I have heard in a while. They truly love each other and they love their family dearly. McGraw has admitted to drinking too much in his past but he is now the epitome of health. He wants to be with his family as long as he possible can. His health has put him in a better mindset and he is even happier now than he has ever been in his entire life. This is all because he has put family first. Do you put your family first? 
2	School Bans Girls From Expressing Christianity, But Then Supreme Court Does THIS Recently, a school in Texas cracked down on a group of cheerleaders for expressing their Christian faith. They had chosen to write Bible verses on the posters. One said, I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. The girls went to court to correct this illegal restriction of rights. On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the girls. At a time when religious liberty is under assault nationwide, this ruling is a welcome reminder that the Constitution protects people of faithand a welcome rebuke to government agencies that try to play games with our rights, Babin said Many prominent figures have given their public support for these girls, including Gov. Greg Abott, Congressman Brian Babin (quoted above), and Attorney General Ken Paxton. Religious liberty, deemed by our nations founders as the First Freedom, is the foundation upon which our society has been built, Paxton said. We fully support these girls. Every student should have the right to express their faith! Do you agree? 
2	BREAKING: New Republican Controlled Senate Starts Impeachment Process Over the past few years, President Obama has watched his approval rates tumble. Many speculate that his lawless behavior would have already gotten him kicked out of the White House, had he not had the Democratic majority behind him in the House and Senate. Now that Republicans have regained the minority standing, conservatives are pushing for Obama to finally face consequences for his actions and be impeached. Still, some argue that keeping Obama in the White House until the end of his term could actually favorable to Republicans. Some believe that impeaching him will hinder the chances of a Republican victory in the 2016 elections, while allowing him to continue to destroy his reputation and that of those around him will put a shadow on another Democratic president. Its safe to say that if Obama stays in power for two more years, Hilary Clinton will find it very difficult to win the presidency based on anything other than the fact that she is a woman. Still, can we really tolerate another two years with Obama in the White House, watching him destroy America before our eyes? What do you think the Republican Senate should do? 
2	BREAKING: Hillarys Likely VP Pick Is Revealed According to some disturbing new reports, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is likely Hillary Clintons choice for Vice Presidents. The reports were released after Senator Harry Reid, D-Nev., spoke out against a Democratic U.S. senator being chosen to run as Clintons vice presidential running mate. If we have a Republican governor in any of those states, the answer is not only no, but hell no, Reid said. I would do whatever I can and I think most of my Democratic colleagues here would say the same thing. If Warren is in fact named as Clintons running mate, Republican Gov. Charlie Baker will have to name a successor to the formers Senator seat if they win the election in November. Reid claims this would jeopardize the Democrats chances of regaining control over the Senate. Matt Viser of The Globe commented that Reids focus on Massachusetts indicates that Warren is a preferred choice for running mate. Reid commissioned a review by Washington election law attorney Marc Elias (who is also the general counsel to the Clinton campaign, and had advised Warren on legal matters in the past), Viser wrote. The review only focused on Massachusetts, and Reid did not conduct such a follow-up review on any other state. What do you think of this new information? 
2	BREAKING: TRUMP MAKES MASSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT INAUGURATION... ITS TIME President-elect Donald Trump is officially getting sworn into office next week and its time to get to work. Trump will spend inauguration day attending balls and taking the oath of officebut hes almost made some big promises in what he has deemed his Day One agenda. These promises have set the tone for his presidency. Of course, incoming presidents have often overpromised for their first day in office. President Obama, for example, promised to shut down Guantanamo Bay in his first year as president. It remains open to this day, but it does have fewer inmates. Here is what Trump has promised to take care of the moment he walks through the door, as listed by Fox News: Immigration Trump has pledged to suspend immigration from terror-ridden regions until we can better vet these incomers. His proposal also involves immediately suspend[ing] the Syrian refugee resettlement program. He has also pledged to eliminate every unconstitutional executive order, with specific reference to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA). Trump says he intends to ask Congress to pass Kates Law to prevent criminal aliens convicted of illegal reentry to receive strong mandatory minimum sentences. He claims he will deport the approximately 2 million criminal immigrants already living in the country on day one as well. Of course, his most famous campaign promises has been to build a wall on the southern border. Trump has claimed that on his first day, we will begin working on an impenetrable, physical, tall, power, beautiful southern border wall. Regulation and Trade In September, Trump said he intends to direct every agency in government to begin identifying all wasteful job-killing regulations and to allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward. Hes also vowed to issue an immediate notification that his administration intends to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership. ObamaCare Trumps website says he will ask Congress to immediately deliver a full repeal of ObamaCare. Though Congress already has this in the works, a full repeal will likely come after January 20. Defense Trump says he will convene a Day One meeting of his generals and instruct them to submit a plan for defeating ISIS within a month. He also intends to protect American infrastructure from cyber attacks. Ethics Trump has notoriously promised to drain the swamp, saying he wants to propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress, place a hiring freeze on federal employees, impose a five-year ban on executive officials becoming lobbyists and ban foreign lobbyists from raising money for American elections. Its going to be a very busy first day, Trump has acknowledged. 
1	Following reports today that a new tip has prompted a renewed FBI search for the body of Jimmy Hoffa, the U.S. populace admitted they are, and have pretty much always been, a little bored whenever the whole thing with the former Teamsters president comes up. Im sorry, why are we supposed to care about this, again? asked St. Paul, MN resident Richard Lott, 36, echoing the thoughts of millions of Americans who say they have no discernible interest in the nearly 40-year-old case of the missing labor union leader and assume anyone who did have any interest in the subject died a long time ago. Every couple of years theyre checking out a different parking lot for this guys bodyI dont get it. It doesnt seem like a big, fascinating mystery to me. So someone did a great job hiding a body. Good for them. The U.S. populace admitted it was still more than willing to hear any news whatsoever about the Zodiac Killer. 
1	With the NBA lockout having already resulted in the cancellation of many games this fall, ESPN.com and Grantland columnist Bill Simmons is somehow managing to churn out upwards of 3,000 words per week on the NBA by continuing to write about the long-completed 2010 season. 'Nov. 22 of last year, Thunder vs. Timberwolves, what many may have excused as an early season flirtation between two young squads, but this was more than that: It was yet another example of why Kevin Durant is trade-your-entire-team-to-get-this-guy good,' Simmons wrote Tuesday in a post titled 'The Greatest Season Ever? (Part Nine).' 'I said it last season, I said it in the playoffs, I said it in the offseason, I said it in the NFL preseason, and I'm saying it now: Durant is as smooth and calculating as Omar from The Wire, and I watch recordings of him just as often.' Over the past three weeks, Simmons has mentioned last year's NBA season on more than 800 occasions, including 287 times in his account of attending a Los Angeles Kings hockey game. 
2	Texas Governor Just Declared Chris Kyle Day... Good! Recently, Texas Governor Greg Abbott publicly declared February 2nd as Chris Kyle Day, a day designed to honor the Texan who went on to become the American Sniper. Kyle was credited with 150 highly operative sniper kills during his multiple tours of duty in Iraq, as well as a in his time as a Navy Seal. Kyle was tragically shot and killed on the 2nd just two years ago, after he was trying to help a fellow veteran suffering from PTSD. Kyle was honored with a memorial service in the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Taya Kyle, his widow, was later honored by AmericanSnipers.org with a donation of $62,000 to her family. Chris Kyle was the public face of an anonymous breed of American warrior who are handed the hardest missions and assume the largest risks, claimed Former Governor Rick Perry. Chris was among the very best at what he did, and he saved countless American lives in the process. Our state and our nation suffered a profound loss with his passing. I am honored to have known Chris and to have called him my friend. Anita and I send our deepest condolences to his wife, Taya, his children and the thousands of service members that were his extended family. What do you think? Was Kyle an American hero? 
1	Saying he could no longer stand idly by while a vital part of American culture is lost forever, activist and Broadway producer Mel Brooks has founded a private nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the word 'schmuck.' An emotional Brooks stopped short of kvetching at a schmuck fundraiser Monday. 'Schmuck is dying,' a sober Brooks said during a 2,000-person rally held in his hometown of Williamsburg, Brooklyn Monday. 'For many of us, saying 'schmuck' is a way of life. Yet when I walk down the street and see people behaving in foolish, pathetic, or otherwise schmucky ways, I hear only the words 'prick' and 'douche bag.' I just shake my head and think, 'I don't want to live in a world like this.'' The nonprofit, Schmucks For Schmuck, has compiled schmuck-related data from the past 80 years and conducted its own independent research on contemporary 'schmuck' usage. According to Brooks, the statistics are frightening: Utterances of the word 'schmuck' have declined every year since its peak in 1951, and in 2006, the word was spoken a mere 28 times17 of these times by Brooks himself. The study indicates that today, when faced with a situation in which one can use a targeted or self-deprecating insult to convey a general feeling of disgust, people are 50 times more likely to use the word 'jerk' than 'schmuck,' 100 times more likely to use 'dick,' and 15,000 times more likely to use 'fucking asshole.' Perhaps more startling, only 23 percent of men know what schmuck means, and only 1.2 percent of these men are under the age of 78. If such trends continue, Brooks estimates that by 2011, such lesser-used terms as 'imbecile,' 'dummy,' 'schlub,' and 'contemptible ne'er-do-well' will all surpass schmuck, which is projected to completely disappear by the year 2020 or whenever Brooks dies. 'We must save this word!' Brooks said to thunderous applause as those in attendance began chanting 'Schmuck! Schmuck! Schmuck!' 'How will we be able to charmingly describe someone who acts in an inappropriate manner? Especially given the tragic loss of the word 'schmegeggie' in 2001. So I urge you: Tonight, when you get home, please, call up your family, your friends, your loved ones, and tell them they're a bunch of schmucks.' Hundreds turned out at a Boca Raton, FL demonstration to show their support for the dying word. 'I've never told anyone this before,' Brooks added, choking back tears, 'but my father was a schmuck.' The foundation has already raised more than $20 million, thanks to donations from supporters such as Jackie Mason, Albert Brooks, the Schtupp Institute, Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI), and the Henny Youngman Endowment for the Preservation of Schmekel. The money will go toward projects aimed at reintegrating 'schmuck' into the English lexicon, including billboards and flyers plastered with the word 'schmuck,' the upcoming 5K Schlep for Schmuck Awareness, and a new Mel Brooks film. 'The world cannot afford to lose this valuable and versatile word,' Brooks told reporters during a charity auction in Manhattan's Upper West Side Tuesday, where attendees bid for the chance to have a private lunch with Brooks and repeatedly call him a schmuck. 'You can be a poor schmuck, a lazy schmuck, a dumb schmuck, or just a plain old schmuck. A group of people can be collectively referred to as schmucks. You can call someone a schmuck, and you can be called a schmuck. You can even call yourself a schmuck.' 'Plus, it's just so fun to say,' Brooks added. 'Schmuck.' Many of the foundation's volunteers say they share Brooks' passion for the word 'schmuck,' as well as his outrage that it is slowly disappearing from everyday use. They claim that if they do not act now, the trend could create a snowball effect. 'Today it's schmuck, tomorrow it might be toochis,' said SFS volunteer Harry Steinbergmann, 82. 'What's next, schlemiel? Putz? Schlimazel?' Steinbergmann went on to classify this scenario as farcockteh. Brooks will be appearing at Brooklyn's Francis Scott Key Junior High on Nov. 12 to give an informal lecture about his experiences using the word 'schmuck,' and build grassroots support among a key group of young Americans by explaining that 'schmuck' is a Yiddish term for the foreskin on the head of a penis. In addition, he has hinted at the possibility of a reunion with longtime comedy partner Gene Wilder, during which the two will call each other schmucks.

2	Look What Sickening Thing Obama Did As His Last Act As President Thursday was Barack Hussein Obamas last full day in office, and while youd think he wouldnt be able to do too much damage on the final day he proved us all wrong. It was reported that Obama commuted thesentences of 330 federal inmates convicted of drug crimes on Thursday, bring the total of commutations during his presidency to a staggering 1,715, far more than any other president in U.S. history. Throughout his time in office, Obama freed 568 convicts who were serving life sentences. He wanted to do it. He wanted the opportunity to look at as many as he could to provide relief, saidNeil Eggleston, Obamas White House counsel. He saw the injustice of the sentences that were imposed in many situations, and he has a strong view that people deserve as second chance. 
3	The U.S. And EU Will Collapse Regardless Of Economic ContagionBy Brandon Smith It is most important to remember the fundamentals. Greece will default on its debts. Period. There is no way around it. Maybe Greece makes a deal today, maybe it makes a deal tomorrow; but eventually, the countrys ability to stretch out its resources in order to meet its exponential liabilities will end. It is inevitable, and no last-minute deal is going to change the math at the core of it all. Why are so many economists so worried about a little country like Greece? Its all due to a great lie: a dishonest narrative being perpetuated by the establishment that if Greece falls, defaults or leaves the EU, this could trigger a domino effect of other nations hitting a debt wall and following suit. The lie embedded in this narrative is the claim that Greece will cause a contagion through the act of default. Lets be clear there is no contagion. Multiple countries within the EU have developed their own debt problems in spite of Greece over the past couple of decades, not because of Greece. Each of these countries, from Italy, to Spain, to Portugal, etc. has its OWN sovereign debt disasters to deal with caused by its own fiscal irresponsibility. The only legitimate reason for a so-called contagion is the fact that these countries have been forced into socialist interdependency through the EU structure. Never forget this: The EU is in trouble not because of Greece, but because of forced supranational interdependency. The EU by all rights should not exist, nor should any centralized supranational single currency system. I would also point out that globalist institutions like the International Monetary Fund are highly motivated to initiate disaster in the EU, despite some peoples assumptions that the EU is some kind of representative model of globalization. Its not. If this were the case, then the IMF would not be stiffing Greece on debt aid while continuing to help Ukraine despite Ukraines similar inability to pay. Why would the globalists want a partial breakup of the EU? What would they gain from such an event? Thats easy; they gain crisis, chaos and an opportunity to present a false dialectic. Europe is not at all representative of what globalists really want in terms of economic and political structure, no matter what many people assume. It is a, rather, a kind of facsimile; a half measure. When Europe hits the bottom of the financial abyss and the bewildered public begins asking what the hell happened, the elites will be there with an immediate explanation. They will claim that it was not the EUs interdependency that was the problem. Instead, they will assert that the EU was actually not centralized ENOUGH. They will claim that in order for a supranational economy and currency to work, we must also have supranational governance. In other words, the system failed because it needs to be stabilized by global government. The Fabian socialists will argue that it was the barbaric and outdated institution of national sovereignty that caused the full-spectrum crisis. They will completely gloss over the negative effects of an interdependent economic system and the fact that a lack of redundancy leaves cultures simpering and impotent. Were all one big human village after all, so we should accept the idea that we all succeed or fail together. Free markets and individual innovation apparently have nothing to do with a thriving economic structure. What we really need is a hive mind amalgamation that turns us all into easily replaceable parts in a massive rumbling lawnmower that chews up our heritage, history and principles for the sake of some arbitrary greater good and the promise of alchemical floating cities in the sky where no one has to work anymore. The fall of the EU is a means to an end for globalists. There is almost no nation or institution they will not sacrifice if that sacrifice can be exploited to further their goal of total global political and economic dominance. They dont just want a completely centralized system; they want all of us to BEG them to put that system in place. They want the masses to think it was all our idea. This is the most pervasive and effective form of slavery, when the slaves are manipulated into demanding their own enslavement. When the slaves are fooled into believing their enslavement is something to be proud of a badge of honor in service of the collective, if you will. The fall of the U.S. will be no different in this regard. We do not necessarily have a supranational structure like the EU. So our narrative for collapse will be slightly different, and the engineered lesson we are meant to learn will be carefully crafted. You see, Americans are meant to play the role of the spoiled imperialists who are finally getting what we deserve, an economic punch in our tender parts. We are the new Rome, bread and circuses and all. And when the U.S. comes crashing down like Europe, the Fabians will be there yet again to admonish the greed inherent in national sovereignty and the destructive aspirations of power that must be squelched by a more evenhanded global political system. I dont really know how many people out there realize this, but we are meant to play the bad guys in the global theater being put on by the elites. Americans are the villains, the rest of the world plays the role of innocent victim, and globalist centers like the IMF and the BIS are meant to play the heroes, coming to the rescue of humanity when all appears lost. Our debt generation by far outmatches that of the whole of EU nations combined, a fact I outlined in Part 3 of my series One Last Look At The Real Economy Before It Implodes. Unlike Greece, though, the U.S. has the direct option to print fiat at will in order to prolong punishment for our massive debt spending. However, as we have seen with recent market reactions to the very notion of an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve in September, such an event will trigger extensive outflows from stock markets and herald the end of the new normal. Again, why would the banksters do this? Why not keep interest rates at a constant near zero? It is not as if there is any public pressure to raise rates; in fact, its quite the opposite. Why is the Fed ignoring the hundreds of signals showing that the U.S. is in a recession and pushing ahead with discussion of interest rate hikes despite what one might logically conclude would be in the Feds best interest? The Fed knows that the only things propping up American markets are free money and blind faith by the public that banks and government will act to stop any pain or economic suffering, should such a potential for crisis arise. When the free money is gone and that faith disappears, then we will have an epic catastrophe on our hands. The globalists within the Fed know this, and they want this at least , they want a controlled version of this. The elites NEED the fall of the current U.S. system exactly because this will make way for the rise of what they often term the great economic reset. This reset is the next stage in the plan for total global economic centralization. This is not about contagion. There is no such thing. It is an excuse, a scapegoat designed to distract from the real problem. This is about a concerted effort over the past several decades by internationalists to maneuver Western cultures into a position of vulnerability. When people are weak and frightened, they become malleable. Social changes you would have never thought possible today become very possible tomorrow in the midst of a crisis. I believe we are now seeing the onset of the next great crisis, and the fundamentals of economy support my view. When the entire European system hangs by the thread of Greek debt and the entire U.S. system hangs by the thread of near zero interest rates and blind market faith, something is about to shatter. There is no going back from such a condition. There is only the path forward, and the path forward is not pleasant or comfortable and it cannot be ignored. We cannot forget that crisis is in itself a distraction as well. Whatever pain we do feel tomorrow, or the next day, or the next decade, remember who it was that caused it all: the international banks and their globalist political counterparts. No matter what happens, never be willing to accept a centralized system. No matter how reasonable or rational it might sound amid the terror of fiscal uncertainty, never give the beast what it wants. Refuse to conform to the dialectic. This is the only chance we have left to get back to true prosperity. Once we cross the line into the realm of worldwide institutionalized interdependency, we will never know prosperity or freedom again.

Not long after the democratic dogma had gained a firm foothold, organized coalitions emerged from the mass electorate and joined the elites in looting the public treasury, and, as a consequence, in the late nineteenth century the so-called welfare state began to take shape. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpcfZzx8xY0 When written in Chinese, the word crisis is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity. John F. Kennedy So lets see this engineered crisis as an opportunity to reflect on the craziness of our materialistic consumerism and change that. Not only the bankers/globalists/elitists are to blame. They just gave us what we wanted. If the peoples of this earth werent interested in their powerplay and wouldnt have fallen for their seduction of materialism and consumerism, their play would have ended long ago. Confiscate WDC benefits and any pensions for the greater good of real Americans. Most of the evil committed throughout history has come from attempts to use authority to accomplish good things. Now that our bought off corrupt Congress has given Obama a Kingship with fast-tracking the TPP, TISA, and TTIP the U.S. is on its way to Corporate Global Governance. See TPP agreement videos on youtube, or search articles. Its not about contagion, excellent point. The international bankers could quickly isolate and repair the Greek financial situation but they choose to keep the tension cranked at maximum load. You also have to wonder if the globalists are mentally exhausting the public with endless stories of debt crises to create a numbing acceptance of a more forthright program of DEBT MONETIZATION, to include debt forgiveness. Is it a coincidence the pope called for a [debt] jubilee and in the US proposals were recently floated to re-allow the discharge of student loan debt in bankruptcy? Recall that during the worst of the recession bankster minions were making speeches telling students it was their moral obligation to pay back their loans. That was the overt message, however, generous policy changes were made making allowances for the unemployed and low income debtors to suspend or drastically lower their payments. It could be what we are observing is a globalist strategy of debasement through various and seemingly disparate paths to get the entire world on the lowest common denominator monetary platform. Basically very good stuff here, Brandon; vey worthwhile commentary. Just one caveat: What is going on, on the Dark side, is a reverse image of the next stage of development for humanity, into the Light. Which is about consciousness-raising as well as physical exchange and wellbeing. I am saying that worldwide institutionalized interdependency is not a bad thing per se. Just in the wrong hands, and for the wrong reasons. One could say that God moves in mysterious ways, sometimes. Until one understands that there are laws at work. hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!! SPOT ONBrandon, SPOT ON!!! the head of Ali Baba surmised. The beast is ravenous and will never show mercy. So long as the banking institute belongs to the gold collar scum satanist. I question the sincerity and integrity of anyone advocating the end of the problems they write of when they are making a living from it. How does this make sense? I am beginning to believe they all (so called alternative news) are part of the same control. Whatever works for the betterment of mankind is infiltrated and masks are adopted for appearance. Brandon Smith may be currently making his living writing about this, but thats because its the most important thing to write about at this crucial point in history. Whos to say Mr. Smith wouldnt be much happier, and just as skilled, writing about humanitys rebirth into a sustainable and just civilization that rewards hard work and innovation instead of reckless financial gambling and fraud? Good article. Worth reposting. This has been going on for a long time. The banker orchestrated financial panic of 1907 was used as an argument why the federal Reserve Bank was needed. The Global depression of the 1930s led to fascism, socialism and the events of World War II and the ensuing New World Order. http://www.amazon.com/Secret-History-New-World-Order-ebook/dp/B00LAECCJM/ 
2	BREAKING: Air Force Official Risks Everything To Warn America About Upcoming Terrorist Attack On America This is absolutely terrifying. Just days after the deadly terrorist attacks in Brussels, an official Air Force briefing warned that there is a strong potential threat for Americas enemies to attempt to shut down its electrical supply for months either with a physical terror attack or an electromagnetic pulse explosion. The Washington Examiner read the briefing, and reported that Air Force officials worry that determined adversaries like North Korea and ISIS have a motive I undermining Americas power supply. Experts have suggested that North Korea, for example, is testing missiles to launch a nuclear weapon from a ship off the U.S. coast into the atmosphere where an explosion could shut off electricity for months through an atmospheric EMP explosion, the paper wrote. This seems plausible, given that North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has been experimenting with nuclear weapons for some time nowand has never shied away from threatening the US. Air Force officials also warned that there are other elements that could easily take out the United States power supply. The power grids aging infrastructure, a pattern of increasingly extreme and unpredictable storms and catastrophic earthquakes were also cited as events that could potentially leave America without power for months at a time. Officials also spoke about a growing number of cyberattacks on the grid. What do you think of these reports? 
2	BREAKING: Officer Wilson Breaks Silence, Makes Stunning Announcement After months of silence, Officer Darren Wilson, the Ferguson police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown, has come forward with his first public statement about the incident. According to Wilson, he acted out of fear for his life, as he was pinned in his vehicle. The New York Times reports that forensic analysis has shown that the gun was in fact fire twice in Wilsons car. According to the officer, Brown grabbed for the gun and was shot in the arm. The second shot did not make contact. Browns blood was found on the gun, the interior panel of the car, and on Wilsons uniform. Wilson claims that he was emerging from his vehicle when Brown aggressively shove him back inside. It wasnt until he was being assaulted that he grabbed his fun from his holster. Although this is his first public appearance, Wilson did appear in front of a St. Louis grand jury in September. Legal experts report that Wilson made the voluntary decision to testify although it was not required by law. Most speculate that he hoped his testimony would speak to his state of mind at the time of the incident. If the officer truly perceived imminent danger, Wilson would have been justified to use lethal force to defend himself. The real questions becomes why Wilson made the decision to get out of his vehicle and fire repeatedly at Brown. What do you think about the incident? Do you support Wilson?

From blocking roads to getting increasingly violent, these gatherings are getting out of hand, and its clear that officers have had enough. According to reports, Trump spoke to a crowd of about 6,000 in San Diego, California the other day. Not surprisingly, the protests being held out of the event quickly got out of hand. Thats when police officers were forced to get physical, and this fight cant be missed. Watch the footage below and tell us what you think. Phillip Molnar (@PhillipMolnar) May 27, 2016 
2	The Hidden Oscar Is Impossible To Find In This Sea Of CBeing a fan of Star Wars made me really enjoy this one. It was extremely entertaining to sit here and look through a lot of C-3POs. He is one of my favorite characters ever and it was a pleasure to look at a 100 of his emotionless faces. It is hilarious to imagine all of the robotic things that he is saying. I have done a lot of these search and find images and this one is my favorite by far. Can you find the hidden Oscar? Have you had a hard time finding this one? Its okay I did too. It was a really fun one and I was extremely entertained. It took me about 10 seconds to find the Oscar but I enjoyed all 10 seconds of it. There are some really hard ones that are not fun, but this hard one was very fun. Star Wars is one of my favorite movies and so I was excited to see this one. I gave this to a friend to try and it took him about 35 seconds. I laughed as he struggled. If it is taking you a long time you should look towards the bottom of the page. You may find the hidden Oscar there. I started at the top left so it took me longer than expected. I promise you that it is near the bottom right. He is just as emotionless as C-3PO and I laughed when I found him. Were you a fan of Star Wars when it came out? The new one was amazing but did not have my favorite character. How long did it take you? 
3	Will Obama Confiscate Guns and Gold?Wendy McElroy The prospect of gun confiscation is fueling discussion of FDRs 1933 nationalization of gold ownership, which resembled Hugo Chavezs nationalization of Venezuelan gold mines in 2011. FDR did so by executive order; Chavez did so by decree. If guns in America are also nationalized, then the 1933 gold grab may have insights on how the state could proceed and how American public may react. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 1933 GOLD HEIST Roosevelt was inaugurated as President on March 4th, 1933. He immediately moved to outlaw the private ownership of gold. He proceeded in several steps. On March 6th, FDR issued Proclamation 2039 that declared a bank holiday in order to halt heavy and unwarranted withdrawals of gold and currency from our banking institutions for the purpose of hoarding; that is, to cease redeeming money for gold or releasing client-held gold from its vaults. FDR blamed the severe drain on the Nations stocks of gold on foreign speculation and individual hoarding, which were causing a national emergency. The President assumed the power to investigate, regulate or prohibit the so-called wrongful use of gold. Americans violating the Proclamation or the regulations produced under its authority would be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned for not more than ten years, or both. On April 5th, FDR signed Executive Order 6102 that prohibited the ownership, called hoarding, of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificatesby individuals, partnerships, associations and corporations. (There were minor exceptions such as jewelry.) Gold-holders had until the end of April to surrender gold to the Federal Reserve. They were reimbursed in currency worth $20.67, which had been the gold price per troy ounce since the late 1800s. On January 30th, 1934, the Gold Reserve Act required the Federal Reserve to surrender its gold and gold certificates to the US Treasury. It also arbitrarily changed the price of gold from $20.67 to $35. This caused a 69% devaluation of the dollar. Otherwise stated, the government increased the value of its gold by 41%. The process: a declaration of absolute Presidential authority; Congressional affirmation; an executive order of implementation; and, an arbitrary devaluation of the dollar to increase governments wealth. Remember that Obama models himself on FDR [A good reason to get your larger gold holdings out of Dodge and beyond his reach while you can. Ed.]. Obama actively pursues a path of regulation through executive orders. For example, a January 16th, 2013 Forbes headline reads, Here Are The 23 Executive Orders On Gun Safety Signed Today By The President. Obama also favors rule through policies imposed by massive and unaccountable federal agencies of which there are close to 70; their counterparts in FDRs time were called Alphabet Agencies. Congressional approval is rarely required. Executive power has swelled since FDRs days and Congress has been largely reduced to a funding role. As for devaluing the dollar, what else can you call the incessant increase in the currency supply? The increase enriches government because it is first to spend the new dollars before they can devalue through circulation. The main element missing from the FDR procedure is the executive order that provides implementation. But how will the American people respond? A PASSIVE PEOPLE NO MORE? FDR was able to confiscate private gold for a combination of reasons. A major one was the cooperation of banks under the Federal Reserve. But what of the multitudes who directly surrendered their wealth? (In 1933, gold still circulated as currency and private ownership was widespread.) One reason was fear of punishment. Another was patriotism. The Austrian economist Thomas Woods explained yet another reason. The paper currency [$20.67] they were receiving in exchange for the gold had always been redeemable in gold in the past. It was only later that they realized they werent getting that gold back, and that the paper dollars they were being given in exchange would be devalued. In short, they were duped. Todays gold-holding public is not so nave or patriotic. Gold is not a circulating currency and those who buy it do so knowing that government is devaluing every dollar through inflation. Moreover, they know history. Will Obama move to confiscate gold? No one knows. If he does, I expect it will not start as a direct confiscation from individuals. It would probably begin through steps toward nationalizing private retirement accounts such as IRAs. This could happen in one of two ways: require accounts to hold some percentage of government security, especially Treasury bonds; or, have a government agency manage the accounts. On the Austrian economic LewRockwell site (August 21st, 2010), Ron Holland (contributing editor to the Swiss Mountain Vision Newsletter and Swiss Confidential) wrote: Just as with thenationalization of Healthcare, the tremendous amount of funds in private retirement plans and IRA accounts are also being targeted to meet future revenue needs. Bills have just been introduced in both the House and Senate to create the new Auto IRA accounts which will at first be voluntary but later will become mandatory like Social Security and I expect the early 3% employee after tax contribution levels to eventually rise to 10 to 15% of compensation rising even more than Social Security has increased over the years.The Auto IRA is the first step to replace our private system with a forced, government controlled Social Security type program. In addition they will force much of your retirement funds into buying junk treasury bonds along with the Federal Reserve when the dollar/national debt crisis hits as billions of retirement funds become the buyer of last resort (Auto IRA bills remain in both the House and the Senate, a glaring sign that you should get into a self-directed IRA while theres still time.) The relevance of such pension reform to gold is twofold: many retirement funds contain a considerable amount of gold in some form; and, the state control would set a precedent. Direct confiscation from individuals would be more problematic, and not merely because of its comparative anonymity. Direct confiscation returns us to guns. Given the personality of the typical gold bug and the simmering state of society, Obama must know that gun confiscation is a political prerequisite of a direct gold grab. On February 13th, the UK Market Oracle predicted for 2013, The collection programs for guns will be eclipsed by collection of private pension funds and perhaps gold itself. Guns and gold are blurring. Wendy McElroy is a renowned individualist anarchist and individualist feminist. She was a co-founder along with Carl Watner and George H.

1	Reports surfaced Tuesday that the New Yorkbased Fox News Channel has obtained a tape which purportedly features another cryptic video message from U.S. vice president and known extremist Dick Cheney, widely regarded as the most feared man in America. Cheney calls on Americans around the world to join the fight in Iraq. 'We have analyzed the tape, and the voice on it matches up with earlier recordings of the vice president,' said CIA spokesman George Little, who claimed the tape may contain valuable clues regarding the location of the elusive Cheney, who was last sighted in late 2005 along the border of Maryland and Virginia. 'Though more specific details on his whereabouts have yet to emerge, we do know two things,' Little added. 'Dick Cheney is still alive, and he is out there somewhere.' The tape, which is 18 minutes in length, contains grainy footage of what appears to be the vice president standing in front of a featureless brown background. Despite a history of heart problems, Cheney seems to be in good health, though he does appear agitated. Analysts said his hair is grayer than in previous tapes, and his hairline has receded by a half inch. He appears to be wearing the exact same suit he wore in his most recent video in 2004. Federal law enforcement agencies track Cheney's movements by satellite. Though Cheney makes no specific threats in the tape, he does issue vague warnings that the United States will soon face a large-scale attack. 'The possibility of a nuclear attack is very real,' Cheney says in his speech, which he addresses to the 'people of America.' 'It could happen tomorrow, it could happen a week from now, it could happen next year. It is not a matter of if, but when.' Cheney warns that, no matter what security measures the United States takes, the terrorists will remain determined to bring death and destruction to American soil. He goes on to insist that he will never give in, claiming that the country should be prepared for 'decades of war.' 'Praise be to God,' adds Cheney, concluding his message. Cheney reportedly makes reference to President Bush and the Iraq War, alludes to the 9/11 attacks 27 times, and warns eerily about Americans 'making the wrong choice' in November. He also mentions current presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama by name, indicating that the tape was made recently and dispelling the rumor that Cheney died of a heart attack four years ago. 'We are closer than ever to finding the U.S. No. 2,' FBI spokesman David Hart said. 'Taking into account his last known whereabouts and the fact that his health condition makes it difficult for him to travel, we can say with a high degree of certainty that the vice president is still somewhere within our borders.' 'God help us all,' he added. A number of experts suggest that Cheney has taken refuge in a D.C. war room, while some claim he is hiding out in an underground bunker beneath NORAD headquarters. Others speculate that Cheney crossed into Virginia two years ago and has been roaming the remote foothills of the Appalachian backwoods. In a press conference yesterday, President Bush told reporters that he is prepared to do anything in his power to hunt down the vice president. 'This is our top priority,' Bush said. 'Before I make any further decisions regarding the situation in Iraq, the economy, or anything else, it is absolutely imperative that I find Dick Cheney.' Some conspiracy theorists, however, have begun to question the tape's authenticity. 'That video's a fake,' said Bethesda, MD citizen Blake Bresler. 'This Cheney looks fatter, and his lip snarl is on the wrong side. Also, if you look closely, those aren't Cheney's real glasses.' Whether or not the tape is legitimate, a growing number of citizens say the fact that Cheney is still on the loose can be traced back to failures by the Clinton White House. 'The only reason that this madman is still out there is because the previous administration messed up,' said Richmond, VA resident Curt Meredith. 'Bill Clinton should have killed him when he had the chance.' 
1	The Federal Aviation Administration stated Wednesday that, according to all available evidence, airplanes are just as afraid of carrying sportscaster John Madden as he is of traveling on them. 'Airliners have a not unreasonable fear that, were John Madden to board them, it would increase their chances of crashing,' said FAA administrator Robert A. Sturgell, reading from the report. 'While looking at John Madden, planes often express a sense of inadequacy and a heightened fear of losing control. Our studies have not found, however, that planes have any more reason to be afraid of John Madden than they do of any other grossly overweight celebrity.' To help reduce planes' fears, Boeing has enrolled their fleet of commercial airliners in an education program about the realities of John Madden, which will explain exactly how he works, the meaning of the various sounds he generates, and why he may vibrate or gurgle when under way. 
2	Something Dramatic Happened After Norway Started Deporting Muslims Not long ago, Norway made the controversial decision to begin deporting Muslims with ties to radical groups. Despite the campaign being deemed racist, violent crime in the country has dropped nearly 30 percent. Still, liberals claim that the program unfairly targets the religion, and are calling for the end of the program. The sentiment is one heard frequently in the United States as well, although racism has nothing to do with religion. Still, its clear that the United States would rather allow anyone into the country rather than cause controversyno matter what the cost. One Norwegian authority claims that 824 people were deported in October, a record-breaking number. He attributes the change to portfolio priorities which have made it easier to deport people back to both Nigeria and Afghanistan. It should be noted that the majority of the deportees had either entered the country illegally or committed crimes. What do you think of Norways policy? Should the United States be doing something similar?

3	NATO Loses Plane Violating Syrian AirspaceNATO attempts to use own act of war to justify escalation also, NATO-backed terrorists murder/kidnap journalists with absolute impunity setting dangerous precedent. Once again the Western press preys on the ignorance of the population as a whole, freely admitting that a Turkish jet entered Syrian airspace (later confirmed here) but was a mile into international waters by the time it was shot down. Image: A Turkish F-4 manufactured by the US and last used in major combat operations in Iraq to destroy air defenses, Syria had every right to fire on this aircraft as it entered Syrian airspace. Even if claims by Turkey are true that it had retreated to a mile over international waters when it was destroyed, that would mean it was over international waters for a mere 2 seconds. This means whatever ordnance Syria used was already fired and airborne in Syrian airspace before the aircraft departed. The F-4 fighter jet, the newest of which are already around 30 years old, has a top speed of mach 2.2, or 1,600 mph/2,500 kph. That means in one minute it can travel 26 miles or nearly one mile ever 2 seconds. Turkey, acutely aware of the immense tensions it itself has cultivated with neighboring Syria, exercised reckless abandon by traveling so closely to Syrian airspace. What readers may also be unaware of is the role US-built F-4s play in scouting out and neutralizing air defense systems. Designated wild weasels, F-4s had been extensively used in the opening phases of war against Iraq in 1991, flying 2,596 sorties, firing more than 1,000 air-to-ground missiles, and destroying more than 200 targets in a campaign aimed at destroying Iraqi air defenses. Perhaps hoping the average reader is profoundly ignorant to how speeds, trajectories, and weapons of modern warfare work, the press has attempted to portray the downing of the F-4 as a provocative act carried out entirely over international waters. In reality, Turkeys jet was fired upon in Syrian airspace, by its own account, as it was supposedly in international space for only one or two seconds before finally being struck. Syria claims the entire event took place over Syrian waters a claim NATO has been unable to refute with anything more substantial than mere rhetoric. Act of War Turkey has been admittedly harboring, arming, and supporting terrorists within its borders to destabilize neighboring Syria, according to US policy makers. Turkey has also made multiple threats against Syria, threatening partial invasion and conducting blockades. When a Turkish fighter crossed into Syrian airspace, Syria had every right to believe it was merely the next stage of military escalation implemented by NATO through its member-state Turkey. Compounding Turkeys provocative violation of Syrias airspace, at the loss of one of its fighters, it with NATOs explicit backing, is trying to escalate an already unjustified posture of war and aggression against Syria. The United Nations has been characteristically mute over these brazen violations of world peace as the West pursues openly a campaign to overthrow the government of Syria and replace it with a suitable proxy regime of its own preference. Irony Turkey has been fighting its own internal war against its population one that has stretched from 1984 and has cost over 40,000 lives dwarfing UN estimates based solely on activist hearsay. Turkeys campaign against its own Kurdish minority has involved rolling armored columns over them, strafing them from the air with warplanes, and even chasing them into Iraqi territory with partial invasions and bombing campaigns sanctioned by the then occupying US military. Turkey a NATO member since 1952 is a serial violator of human rights within itsown borders and a violator of the sovereignty of its regional neighbors. For it and its NATO collaborators to pose as the rational forces of stability in the region is a true spectacle of Orwellian absurdity. Murdering/Kidnapping Journalists Had Syrian President Bashar al-Assads forces kidnapped and murdered journalists sympathetic to the Wests narrative relentless accusations of crimes against humanity and referrals to the Wests myriad of international institutions and self-proclaimed international arbiters would have followed. However, the killers are instead NATO-backed terrorists, if not NATO operatives themselves, who have raided a TV station, murdered employees and kidnapped others in an attack celebrated rather than condemned by the Western press as one of the boldest attacks yet on a symbol of the authoritarian state (Reuters). Despite the rhetoric emanating from the West in regard to Syrias deterioration, the fact that statements released by both Russia and Syria are intentionally being distorted, as well as events on the ground themselves being endlessly misrepresented, indicates such rhetoric aims more at psychologically attacking the Syrian people, rather than actually encapsulating actual events as they unfold. Similar psychological ploys had been used against Libya to great effect where otherwise outgunned and disorganized fighters were handed victory by a demoralized and divided Libyan government. In Syria, Unity Perseveranceis Key Imperialisms favorite trick throughout time has been to purposefully mire a targeted nation in internal strife to weaken it before preying on, and ruling over both sides. This can be seen encapsulated in the following ancient Chinese stratagem: When a country is beset by internal conflicts, when disease and famine ravage the population, when corruption and crime are rampant, then it will be unable to deal with an outside threat. This is the time to attack. The 36 Strategies, #5 Loot a Burning House While it would likewise suit Syrian President Bashar al-Assads opponents, it is particularly important for those who have made the decision to stand by Syrias ruling government to stay the course of restoring order and pursuing political solutions. NATO is systematically destabilizing Syria, sowing the ground for an easy victory if and when more overt military intervention is attempted. The West has gone too far; the credibility of its institutions and their operational capacity are waning by the day, and it has no choice but to continue pushing forward in hopes that all before it lack the fortitude to stand up and fight. The West will not stop until either Syria is divided and destroyed, or the West itself crumbles in the midst of its untenable imperial conquest. Defection, capitulation, and failure are not options. Libya has proven that surrendering to the will of the West ensures not stability and survival, but ensured perpetual violence, destabilization, and chaos. Syrias fate will be that of Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, or worse if it falls. Unity is Syrias only option. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	Trans Pacific Partnership: Corporate Escape From AccountabilityPaul Craig Roberts, Contributor The TPP has been called a one-percenter power tool. The agreement essentially abolishes the accountability of foreign corporations to governments of countries with which they trade. Indeed, the agreement makes governments accountable to corporations for costs imposed by regulations, including health, safety and environmental regulations. The agreement gives corporations the right to make governments pay them for the cost of complying with the regulations of government. One wonders how long environmental, labor, and financial regulation can survive when the costs of compliance are imposed on the taxpayers of countries and not on the economic activity that results in spillover effects such as pollution. Many will interpret the TPP as another big step toward the establishment of global government in the New World Order. However, what the TPP actually does is to remove corporations or the spillover effects of their activities from the reach of government. As the TPP does not transfer to corporations the power to govern countries, it is difficult to see how it leads to global government. The real result is global privilege of the corporate class as a class immune to government regulation. One of the provisions allows corporations to avoid the courts and laws of countries by creating a private tribunal that corporations can use to sue governments for the costs of complying with regulation. Essentially, the laws of countries that apply to corporations are supplanted by decisions of a private tribunal of corporate lawyers. What are we to make of the TPP? It is perhaps too early to have all the answers. However, I can offer some ways of thinking about it. I doubt that the TPP is a New World Order takeover. If anything, the TPP reduces the scope of global government by exempting corporations from government control. Also, global government, unless it is government by the American Empire, is inconsistent with the neoconservatives insistence on US hegemony over the world. Powerful US ideological, private, and government interest groups have no intention of losing the power that they have acquired by being rolled into some New World Order unless the New World Order is a euphemism for American Empire. In the criticisms of the TPP, much emphasis is placed on the costs that corporations of foreign members of the agreement can impose on the US. However, US corporations gain the same privileges over those countries, as the agreement gives every countrys corporations immunity to the other countries laws. It could be the case that US corporations believe that their penetration of the other countries will greatly exceed the activities in the US of Brunei, New Zealand, Peru, et al. However, once Japan, Canada, China and others join TPP, the prospect of American firms getting more out of the agreement than foreign firms disappears, unless from the US perspective the definition of foreign firm includes US corporations that offshore the production of the goods and services that they market in the US. If this is the case, then US offshoring firms would be exempt not only from the laws and courts of foreign countries, but also exempt from the laws and courts of the US. This point is possibly moot as the agreement requires all governments that are parties to the TPP to harmonize their laws so that the new corporate privileges are equally reflected in every country. To avoid discriminatory law against a countrys own corporations that do not engage in foreign trade, harmonization could mean that domestic corporations would be granted the same privileges as foreign investors. If not, domestic firms might acquire the privileges by setting up a foreign subsidiary consisting of an office. As the TPP is clearly an agreement being pushed by US corporations, the implication is that US corporations see it as being to their relative advantage. However, it is unclear what this advantage is. Alternatively, TPP is a strategy for securing exemption from regulation under the guise of being a trade agreement. Another explanation, judging from the unusual collection of the initial parties to the agreement, is that the agreement is part of Washingtons strategy of encircling China with military bases, as the US has done to Russia. One would have thought that an agreement of such path-breaking nature would have begun with Japan, S. Korea, and Philippines. However, these countries are already part of Chinas encirclement. Brunei, Singapore, New Zealand, and especially Vietnam would be valuable additions. Are the special privileges that Washington is offering these countries part of the bribe to become de facto outposts of American Empire? Yet another explanation is that Ron Kirk is caught up in the deregulatory mindset that began with the repeal of Glass-Steagall and financial deregulation. If financial markets know best and are self-regulating, requiring no government interference, then so also are other markets and businesses. Free market economists view regulations as takings. The argument is that regulations take corporate propertyprofits, for example, by making corporations comply with health, safety, and environmental regulationjust as government takes private property when it builds or widens a road. Therefore, corporations should be compensated for takings that result from regulation. As the argument goes, if government wants corporations to protect the environment, the government should pay the corporations for the cost of doing so. This argument gets rid of external costs or social costscosts that corporations impose on others and future generations by the pollution and exhaustion of natural resources, for example. The argument turns social costs into compensation for takings. The TPP is likely serving many agendas. As we learn more, the motives behind the TPP will become clearer. From my perspective as an economist and former member of government, the problem with Ron Kirks TPP is that the agreement is constructed to serve private, not public interests. Kirk is a public official charged with serving and protecting the public interest. Yet, he has conspired in secret with private interests to produce a document that exempts private corporations from public accountability. There is a paradox here. While financial corporations and now all corporations are being made independent of government, US citizens have lost the protection of law and are now subject to being detained indefinitely or murdered without due process of law. Corporations gain an unimaginable freedom while citizens lose all freedom and the rights that define their freedom. Similarly, foreign countries, which as members of TPP can be exempt from US law, are subject to pre-emptive US violation of their air space and borders by drones and troops sent in to assassinate some suspected terrorist, but which also kill citizens of those countries who are merely going about their normal business. Perhaps one way to understand TPP is that the US government is now extending its own right to be lawless to corporations. Just as the US government today is only answerable to itself, the TPP makes corporations answerable only to themselves.

3	Is The Syria Ceasefire Actually A Good Thing?By Brandon Turbeville The ceasefire deal, brokered between Russia and the United States, is made up of a number different facets. First, Russia is required to pressure the Syrian government to stop its military combat activities against what is considered moderate US-backed rebels. On the other side, if the ceasefire holds for at least seven days, the United States is supposed to join Russia in military operations against Jobhat al-Nusra (Jobhat Fatah al-Sham). The U.S. will also have to be more clear which rebels are moderate cannibals and which ones are extremist cannibals and, as John Kerry admitted, it will require some sharing of information with the Russians. This requires halting all attacks, including aerial bombardments, and any attempts to gain additional territory at the expense of the parties to the cessation. It requires unimpeded and sustained humanitarian access to all of the besieged and hard-to-reach areas, including Aleppo, said US Secretary of State John Kerry. Kerry also stated that the agreement would prevent the Syrian military from flying combat operations against moderate rebels and anywhere the opposition publicly deemed legitimate by the United States is present. He called this provision the bedrock of the agreement and stated that That should put an end to the barrel bombs, an end to the indiscriminate bombing of civilian neighborhoods. The ceasefire plan is supposed to take effect on a nationwide basis. But is the ceasefire plan really something that will benefit the Syrian people? Certainly, the quieting of rifles and artillery are good for many civilians in the short term but it may also be incredibly destructive for all civilians in the long run. Short-term peace may quiet the battlefield for now but, in the end, if this ceasefire is the gateway to a political transition that sees Western-backed foreign terrorists assume power-sharing positions in the government, ushering in tyrannical Sharia law and pro-Western free-market globalism then Syria, in the long term, will be the worse for it. It should also be noted that, as John Kerry stated, this new agreement is going to create a de facto No Fly Zone over the entire country. While the agreement admittedly contains no enforcement mechanism for breaking the terms, it will undoubtedly provide the West a pretense for military action or further involvement if airstrikes are carried out by the Syrian government. Even if the SAA launches airstrikes in response to a breaking of the ceasefire by ISIS or other US-backed terrorists, the Western media will no doubt leap to paint the narrative that the Syrian government is the violating party and thus some type of justification for further American action. Nevertheless, these ceasefire agreements have the most convenient timing it is scarcely believable that there is even the slightest amount of legitimacy to them. Indeed, every time the Syrian military is poised to make important gains and monumental victories over the terrorists, the United States, France, UK, or the UN rush in with pleas for ceasefires and peace plans. Now, with the Syrian military having fully encircled Aleppo again, with the manpower and armaments of the terrorists lower than ever, as well as strategic victories by the SAA all over the country, it is time for the US to rush in to save their terrorist pets. Few can deny that the proposed truces are very convenient in their timing from the point of view of NATO strategists. As Tony Cartalucci of Land Destroyer writes, It is curious because talks of truces were completely absent just as recently as 2011, when both organizations, the UN and NATO, backed hordes of terrorists sweeping across Libya, committing abhorrent atrocities including the systematic, genocidal extermination of Libyas black communities. Indeed, NATO and UN peace treaties only seem to appear when the NATO terrorist proxies encounter serious trouble on the battlefield. While peace is no doubt to be desired in Syria, Western powers should not be allowed to use the concept as a weapon against the Syrian government or the Syrian people. The United States, UK, France, NATO, and the UN do not want peace. They want a reprieve for their proxy forces. Syria, Iran, Hezbollah, and Russia should all know this very well and should thus not be tempted to enter into agreements and deals with a country and an alliance that has demonstrated time and time again that they are neither willing or capable of maintaining their end of the bargain. If the terrorist rebels encircled in Aleppo and embattled throughout the rest of the country want peace, they should have the option of unconditional surrender. Amnesty, upon surrender, could also be discussed at the pleasure of the Syrian government. Otherwise, the encirclement should continue and the liberation of Aleppo must necessarily follow. Assad must not go. NATO and its terrorist proxies must go. Fake peace agreements and politically based truces are no longer acceptable and they are no longer credible in the eyes of any informed observer. Only true and total peace, stability, and reconstruction are acceptable options for Syria.

3	Indiana House Committee Approves Anti-Drone Bill by a 6-1 Voteselfnews Post Introduced by Rep. Eric Allan Koch (R-65), House Bill 1009 (HB1009) Prohibits the use of unmanned aerial vehicles and tracking devices to conduct warrantless searches, with very limited exceptions. HB1009 was referred to the State House Committee on Courts and Criminal Code where a hearing was held this morning. After a short discussion, the bill passed by a vote of 6-1. Voting yes were committee chair, Rep. Jud McMillin (R-68), along with Reps. Pierce, McNamara, Harman, Mahan and Rhoads. The lone no vote was cast by Rep. DeLaney (D-86). The legislation does include some narrow exceptions to the warrant requirement to allay the fears of law enforcement officials who did not want to be hamstrung in emergency situations when a drones use might spell life or death. Even so, the bill also sets strict standards governing the use of a drone when authorized. It also prohibits the placement of cameras or electronic surveillance equipment on private property to conduct warrantless searches. Evidence obtained in violation of the act would be inadmissable as evidence in an administrative or judicial proceeding. Tenth Amendment Center national outreach director Amanda Bowers noted that Indiana could join a growing chorus of states putting strict limited on drones. Already, a number of states have passed similar bills into law, and we are expecting more in the coming weeks and months, she said. From California to Washington State, and from New York to Missouri, legislators and the general public from left to right want to see a dangerous future stopped before it happens. Bills were signed into law in 2013 in Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Last earlier this month, the South Carolina House passed a similar bill by a vote of 100-0. HB1009 is expected to move to the full State House for a debate and vote. If it passes by a majority, it will be sent to the Senate, where it will need to pass out of committee before the Senate can vote to concur.

3	Even The US Government Will Abandon The DollarJeff Berwick They wont realize the geopolitical winds which are now blowing. Off in their own lala land, the average American will be focused on sports, celebrities, what the right amount of stealing (taxes) in society is, gay rights, which foreign countries we should bomb next, the first woman president, and so on and so forth, while their livelihoods are sacrificed in the name of the US government. They will wake up one morning, and their prospects will be gloomier than they are now. Dont think such a thing happens? This exact thing just happened in the Ukraine. Devastation. People wake up one morning and suddenly everything they had worked so hard for is gone. Oh, but thats Ukraine! you might say. Not here in the US. Well, when you realize that a lot of the policies now being instituted in Ukraine were supported by the US government and the International Monetary Fund, which is largely funded by the US government, then maybe, just maybe you will start to see things differently. If not, I understand. Public schools are not kind institutions to reason. If thats not reason enough just consider the growing police state. Jim Rogers recently discussed with Yahoo! Finance how all Western governments are bankrupt, which we cover regularly, stating There is no sound currency anymoreTheres no paper money in 2014 and 2015 thats going to be worth much of anything. For the first time in recorded history we have all major banks and central governments around the world printing huge amounts of money, Rogers said. This has never happened in world history and so the world is floating on an artificial ocean of lots and lots of printed money, said Rogers. The debt is going higher and higher. The money printing is going higher and higher. Weve had 50 or 60 years of success in America, he said. Youve got to pay the price someday whether you like it or not. The longer you delay the day of reckoning, the worse the day of reckoning is going to be. This is not going to be fun. THE SOLUTION Abolish the Federal Reserve, Rogers stated. The world has gotten along quite famously and well without central banks for most of world history. America has had three central banks in our history, the first two disappeared, he said. This ones going to disappear too because they keep taking on huge amounts of debt they keep leveraging up the balance sheet they keep making mistake after mistake theyre printing money, its going to self-destruct before its overWed be better off with no central bank than this central bank. EVERY LAST PENNY Its no wonder why the IRS, Social Security and Treasury are going after hardworking ordinary Americans. The government is flat-out broke! They must simply get their hands on as much cash as possible, as quickly as possible, to delay the inevitable US dollar abandonment and inevitable collapse. We reported last week how the Bureau of Land Management invaded Nevada in order to ready the land to be passed onto the Chinese. As you see, the US government is in so much debt, it is selling off parcels of land to creditors. But before it does that, it will have to go to war with the American people Many government officials have confirmed the standoff there is not over and Ron Paul has warned against a WACO-style siege. The feds are so desperate they are pondering taxing employee perks like free food at lavish cafeterias, laundry and even yoga. We here at The Dollar Vigilante know this information can be overwhelming. The sad thing is, we are not being hyperbolic. We cannot underscore in a daily blog the severity of the situation in which we find ourselves. CONCLUSION Something big is going on behind the scenes. Bankers are committing suicide or being murdered, and the finance minister of Canada just died. We are turning a corner and all of the debts and money printing is going to have a massive effect possibly as soon as this year, as Jim Rogers notes. Precious metals have been in a consolidation period for years now, and TDV anticipated this and told our premium readers to go long cash, but now I personally am turning hyperbullish on precious metals, precious metals stocks and aggressive on shorting the overall stock market and I will write more about this in the April issue of TDV. (For more information on our subscriber area, click here.) Capital controls have been ratcheted up across the entire world. Weve been covering the slow progression here, and with Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act coming into full effect July 1st, 2014, we believe we are in the final months when Americans can easily get their money outside of the US. If you have assets in the US, youre on the precipice of being too late! You should be running, not walking, to the lifeboats. Remember, even the US government will be forced to abandon the dollar.

2	Liberals Terrified After Seeing Trumps Poll Numbers Sky Rocketing Within This Group According to reports, the recent scandal of the DNC email leak is continuing to brew. Polls have shown that Trump is benefitting from it, having a boost in the polls. Trump also seems to have gotten a boost in a few more groups, including the LGBT community. The Washington Examiner recently reported that New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker is alarmed by polls suggesting Trump is seeing support from the gay community. Thats terrifying, he told reporters after the Democratic National Convention. Donald Trump probably picked one of the most anti-gay vice presidential candidates weve had in a long time. According to Booker, Gov. Mike Pence has been at the forefront of efforts to alienate members of the LGBT community. The New Jersey senator went on to argue why he believes the Democratic Party is the bests for the gay community. Clearly we are the party of civil rights, workers rights, womens rights and definitely gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender rights, Booker commented. We wonder if Booker realizes Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton has been given breathing room to grow and expand throughout the Middle East. Democrats have consistently avoided addressing the concerns about radical Muslim terrorism. 
3	Another Senior DNC Staffer Gone Following Emails Leak by WikiLeaksBy Amando Flavio Before senator Bernie Sanders left the Democratic Party, he said the publication by WikiLeaks showed a corrupt DNC that cannot be trusted anymore. The Vermont senator then called for a total overhaul of the DNC. At the time Sanders called for a completely new DNC, the then-chairperson of the body, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, had resigned. Many other junior officials of the DNC also laterresigned. In fact, the revelation by WikiLeaks angered many supporters of Sanders, who have since said they will not vote Clinton inbecause she cheated the contest to become the nominee of the party. Therefore, in an attempt to try and convince these outraged supporters that the DNC is credible, the committee busily worked behind the scenes to clear all those implicated in the WikiLeaks leak, to probably get some votes for Clinton. Although he lost, Sanders pulled over 12 million votes during the contest with Clinton. Political commentators say if many of those who voted for Sanders refuse to vote for Mrs Clinton in the November presidential polls, she will lose the contest to Donald Trump. The latest news displaysanother DNC top official being made to step down from the committee. According to Politico, the DNCs finance director, Jordan Kaplan, is leaving the committee as a result of his involvement in the emails leaked by WikiLeaks. Politico claimed that an official of the DNC pleading anonymity, disclosed the departure of Kaplan to it. Politico quoted this unnamed official as saying that Kaplan has decided to return to his consulting business full time. The official was quoted further, saying although Kaplan will not be in charge of the DNCs finance, he will continue to manage the DNCs finance events featuring the president and first lady. For the time being, it is said Rachel Rauscher will replace Kaplan as the DNCs finance director. Observers say Kaplans departure has been left too late. Some believe it will not repair the damage suffered by the party, as many supporters of Sanders have taken their decision already. When Politico revealed that Kaplan is leaving the DNC, WikiLeaks tweeted to inform its audience that what it published is eating up the DNC and the entire Democratic Party. WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) August 21, 2016 Kaplan has been a close associate of President Barack Obama for a long time. He reportedly worked for Obama in 2004, during his Illinois senate campaign. When Obama decided to contest for the presidential elections in 2008, Kaplan is said to be one of the first people to start raising money for the campaign, which Obama successfully defeated Clinton, going ahead to win the presidential elections.

You have permission to republish this article under aCreative Commonslicense with attribution to the author andAnonHQ.com The thing to see are the emails that the DNC wrote internally, the ones describing how to treat their political base, blacks and Hispanics! Its a complete joke! Everyone should see that they only want to prop them up to vote, otherwise, they are of no use! Groups like these arent the only ones who get lip service only. The GOP has its own base they routinely ignore once they are elected. These people who have resigned from the DNC are the patsies. They might have actually agreed with what they were told to do, but the fact remains they reported to other higher ups. They think getting rid of a few of people who implemented the policies will make us trust them. They think wrong. Bernies right. They all need to go and start over. If most Americans get their news from CNN or FOX then I can understand why they all vote like sheep. They say they are a news media but most is more about the entertainment industry gossip and full of adds to pay for the gossip or straight out of the state dept. that can never give a straight yes or no and more a no comment like every item has a confidential clause attached. Just look at the BS where they are unable to say which of their supported rebels are separate from the supported terrorists after 6 months of trying. 
3	Sweet Suicide: Sugar Deadlier than Drugs and Just as AddictiveHeather Callaghan It used to be thought that our bodies could evolve and adapt with the extra poundage of sugar consumed each year. But come 150lbs yearly on average consumed by each person I think weve proven that theory false. Its been said that 1-2 teaspoons of sugar in various forms can change your entire physiology in just seconds. Mood swings can come from the sugar but probably mainly from the intense insulin spikes and dips. The first part of this video shows an almost cruel experiment on childrens reactions to eating sugar cubes later it talks about opioid effects, like drug withdrawals in rats including chattering teeth, high pitched crying, shakes, anxiety and brain chemistry changes. Sugar consumption is implicated in chronic inflammation, chronic fatigue, immune suppression, feeding cancer, heart disease, and obesity yeah, I would say thats pretty deadly! From one pre-diabetic sugar-addict to another, here are some resources: Having a hard time quitting cold turkey? Me too. Just like with tobacco,cravings are often exacerbated by malnutrition and deficiencies. Leaving a vacuum by quitting is a sure way to dive back in. ALSO since Candida Yeast uses sugar as food, the cravings might actually be coming from the yeast. Starving Candida and the cravings becomes more difficult. Ease yourself in and add the nutrition with Dr. Joel Fuhrmans Eat for Health series of two books, one for diet and recipes, the other to gear up the mind. They are so gentle. If youre ever at a garage sale or old book shop, look for The Carbohydrate Addicts Diet by Doctors Rachael and Richard Heller. They were both obese, tired and riddled with cravings when they discovered that if they just push carbs into dinner time only, within a 60-minute period, they could reset the whacked-out insulin cycle. The way they described the theory was that a certain set of people carb addicts have a leaky insulin valve that starts running the second a simple carb is eaten. They used the method to lose all the weight, cut cravings and fix mood swings and to help people who werent making progress in Overeaters Anonymous (OA). Please, please ignore the parts and recipes that promote using artificial sweeteners those are neurotoxins and there are natural alternatives available that wont spike insulin. The video goes into marketing tactics while compelling, I think the real trouble comes from the cravings, Candida, difficulty withdrawing, and the grotesque, vast prevalence in grocery store foods. Until cravings and diabetic tendency is corrected, its best to avoid fruit, honey and grains, especially if these trigger reactions. Many naturopaths can help to stave off or reverse diabetes, eradicate Candida, and curb cravings its best to do research, ask questions and find one in your area. A host of issues begin in the gut be good to it. The naturopath can help with that too.

2	Michelle Obama Was Just Publicly Humiliated In This Incredible Way Michelle Obama received bad news this week when she discovered that her Lets Move! campaign may actually be doing more harm than good. While we knew that her plan was almost certainly failing, we had no idea that it was this bad. According to The Week, recent studies have shown that people who are aware of the fact that they are overweight are more likely to put on additional pounds than those who dont realize that they have a problem. The study was originally published in the International Journal of Obesity, in a study that looked at 14,000 British and American adults over the course of a decade. The study discovered consistent evidence that perceiving oneself as being overweight was associated with increased weight gain. This suggests that is not a good strategy, Dr. Traci Mann of the University of Minnesota commented, referencing Michelles efforts. What do you think? Is Michelle Obama a bigger failure than her husband? 
2	AE Tells Duck Dynasty To Cut Jesus From Prayers To Avoid Offending Muslims Recently, in an interview with Sports Spectrum magazine, Duck Dynasty reality stars Willie and Phil Robertson made the shocking claim that editors had censored their use of the name Jesus. Reportedly, the action was taken to spare Muslim sensitivities. Robertson called the incident spiritual warfare. Read his statement below and tell us what you think: When we prayed, we said, in Jesus name, amen. I dont have a verse that says you must always use pray in the name of Jesus, but its a very good idea, I think. So they would have me say, Thank you, Oh Lord, for the food, thank you for the leavens, amen. So I said, Why would you cut out in Jesus name? And they said, Well, those editors are probably doing that, they think, you know, it might offend some of the Muslims, you know. I said, Lets see now. What year is it? They said, What? I said What year is it? They said, Well, its 2012. I said 2012, AD, Anno Domini, the year of Our Lord. I said, You Hollywood cats, youre counting timeI would think, if weve all decided in America to count time by just one of them, Jesus of GalileeI dont think it hurts to throw his name in there from time to time, your calendar is based on it. They said, We never thought about that. I said, Duh! I said, Gimme a break! So I notice now that every once in a while, they leave it in there. But you have to remember, spiritual warfare. You have people with no, what do they say, no moral compass. It aint there. So what I tell people is be patient. Just be patient. Were working on it. Were working on it. We just have to do it. Theyre the ones who own the network.People have to understand, people of God have to understand, just be patient. You dont turn that ship quickly. Lot of depravity, a lot of heat, and a lot of the Evil One, he is entrenched in the United States, so youre not going to turn it

Have no fear, America! The Steel Horse Cavalry is coming! Bikers 4 Trump wrote on their Twitter feed. They then rode into Cleveland to protect convention-goers from the thousands of protesters. The group estimates that as many as 10,000 from all over the country will arrive in Cleveland to take part in forming a human wall between demonstrators and the venue. Though Cleveland has been relatively peaceful thus far, there is no certainty what the future may hold.

1	Citing his dramatically reduced level of influence and his separation from old acquaintances in Washington, former president George W. Bush complained Monday that he has had trouble finding decent cocaine since leaving office in 2009. I had some real good hookups in D.C., but the shit down here is just terrible, Bush said from his ranch in Crawford, TX, noting that while he could previously count on the White House kitchen staff or top aides for the good stuff, he now has to drive half an hour to Waco and waste his money on junk cut with Benzo. I just dont get as high, you know? Sucks, because I could really use some good coke right now. Its commencement season, and God knows how many speeches Im gonna have to get through. Bush added that while hes disappointed with the powder in Texas, he has to admit the whiskey and pot are fantastic. 
1	At a ceremony held in the Hilton Hotel banquet hall Wednesday evening, noted local asshole Mark Thorton, 54, was recognized by his asshole peers in the business community with an award honoring his illustrious career of distinguished asshole conduct. What a tremendous honor this is, the beaming prick said during his acceptance speech, after thanking all the huge pieces of shit and unrepentant dicks with whom he has engaged in asshole business over the years. I have always believed in working hard. And for members of my own field to take notice and acknowledge my accomplishments, it makes this award all the more special. There have been so many achievements over the years that Im proud of, but your recognition tonight ranks high among them, the godawful fucker continued. This truly means so much to me. The black-tie ceremony, an annual custom within the local asshole community, was reportedly attended by over 1,000 prominent dicks, some 350 festering mounds of human waste, and 75 unbearable brownnosers, many of whom lauded Thorton for his deep and lasting influence in the field of being a selfish, amoral sack of shit. Thorton, who is regularly featured in Forbes magazines list of the nations top 20 heartless fucks, has spent nearly 30 years at the forefront of the asshole game. His legacy includes such accomplishments as ruining the lives of countless honest individuals, exploiting legal gray areas for personal gain, and systematically fucking over anyone who has placed the slightest semblance of trust in him, all of which, ceremony organizers noted, made him the overwhelming choice for recognition as this years biggest prick. We looked at a robust pool of potential recipients, but ultimately the choice was obvious, said event director and fellow asshole Aaron Fitzpatrick, explaining that among the great many greasy little fuckers that were considered, Thorton was unquestionably the most influential and utterly detestable. Mark is certainly one of the top leaders in our industry. If theres anyone who deserves this honor, its him. Hes just incredible at what he does. Honestly, its a wonder we didnt honor him sooner, added Fitzpatrick, who, like every other individual who attended the ceremony, is reportedly just a pile of shit. A living, breathing pile of shit, sources confirmed. According to several of those in attendance, a large photograph of the self-satisfied slimeball with his big shit-eating grin was projected onscreen throughout the ceremony. Additionally, one of the revered assholes business partners is said to have spoken at length in celebration of Thortons long career of making ethically hollow decisions, which reportedly ranged from using hostile takeovers to lay off thousands of blue-collar workers, to knowingly securing an annual bonus that is more than 30 times that of his secretarys yearly wage, to just generally being an unapologetic dick right to peoples faces. You just have to respect everything Mark has done, said the keynote speaker, Tim Greene, one of the massive, antagonistic dickwads and selfish fucking sons of bitches who works alongside Thorton at his financial firm, Enterprise Ventures. Hes a trailblazer, a go-getter, and, to many heremyself includeda mentor. Without Marks executive fellowship program, many of us wouldnt even be here, Greene continued, referring to a program that allows aspiring shitheads to shadow Thorton for a week in order to better emulate his unabashed greed and deceptiveness. Theres no question that were all indebted to him for that. Most of us here can only dream of having even half the impact hes had. Hes that good. Later in the evening, when the morally vacant fuck took the stage to accept his solid gold award, the conference hall is said to have echoed with nauseating laughter and obnoxious applause, as the slimy prick reeled off a number of asshole jokes and several fucking insufferable anecdotes about the asshole fucking details of his asshole life. If I can credit my success to one thing, its that [Im a feckless, egotistical sociopath who believes he is God], said Thorton, concluding his speech with some supreme, grade-A asshole self-congratulation. This has been a wonderful day for me, and Id like to offer my deepest thanks to all of you [soulless, vile wastes of human flesh] for this honor. And I look forward to continuing to [ruthlessly destroy whomever or whatever I can in the name of my own self-aggrandizement] for many more years to come, he added. After a standing ovation from the nearly 1,500 steaming heaps of dogshit in attendance, the asshole thanked his frigid bitch wife and entitled prick sons, both of whom will inherit the enormous estate he amassed through the lucrative practice of absolutely shitting all over the virtues of decency and fairness. The smug fuck, sources concluded. 
2	Obama Thought He Could Get This Through Before His Term Was Up Barack Obama has always been a man of many secrets. Throughout his presidency, he managed to keep many of his personal recordsbut it was only a matter of time before they surfaced. According to reports from Mr. Conservative, the Americans for Freedom of Information have just gotten their hands on Obamas college records from his freshman year at Occidental College. The records show Obama registered as an Indonesian student and receiving financial aid under the name of Barry Soetoro. The icing on the cake? The scholarship was only given to foreign students. The most likely conclusion to draw here is that Obama manipulated the system for financial assistance. What do you think? Are you ready for this man to be out of the White House once and for all? 
3	DARPA Unveils Plans For Worlds First Flotilla of Killer Robot Warships Within 5 Years - Sea HunterBy Nicholas West While the global drone arms race heats up across the planet, filling the sky with automated weapons of war, it makes perfect sense that the seas would soon follow. Amid cries of restraint from members of the scientific community and academia, as well as those within the field of robotics, the U.S. military is forging ahead with the development of a 132-foot stalker warship that might soon patrol the worlds oceans in search of enemies. This is an inflection point, Deputy U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Work said in an interview, adding he hoped such ships might find a place in the western Pacific in as few as five years. This is the first time weve ever had a totally robotic, trans-oceanic-capable ship. (emphasis added) (Source: Reuters U.S. military christens self-driving Sea Hunter warship) Although mainstream media might playfully compare it to a sea-bound version of Googles self-driving car, DARPA describes it as follows: DARPAs Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel (ACTUV) program has designed, developed and constructed an entirely new class of ocean-going vesselone intended to traverse thousands of kilometers over the open seas for months at a time, all without a single crew member aboard. Deputy U.S. Defense Secretary, Robert Work, is once again out on the campaign trail stumping for a future filled with these unmanned systems that will ensure U.S. dominance within the battlespace, as he likes to call planet Earth. I recently covered Works sit-down meeting with the Washington Post, where he implored the world to understand that the U.S. is playing catch-up to the rogue nations of the world who supposedly are showing signs of mastering this emerging technology. Hence, they are forcing the hand of the U.S. to become more creative in its approach to future war planning. As I pointed out in Pentagon Warns of Killer Robot Threat (From Other Countries Of Course), this notion is pure and admitted propaganda. In reality, prior to becoming Deputy U.S. Defense Secretary on April 30th, 2014, Robert Work co-authored a 44-page paper in January of that same year entitled Preparing for War in the Robotic Age (.pdf) when he was still CEO at the Center for a New American Security. The very first sentence of the Executive Summary states in no uncertain terms who has kicked off this race to develop automated weapons: Over the past several decades, the United States has been an aggressive first mover in a war-fighting regime centered on guided munitions and integrated battle networks. These innovations have allowed U.S. forces to operate relatively uncontested in space, in the air, and on and under the sea, and to dominate conventional force-on-force land combat. For a variety of reasons the geopolitics of rising powers, the global diffusion of technology and counter-reactions by its adversaries chief among them the preeminence enjoyed by the United States in this regime is starting to erode. Its an amazing document for which this first sentence barely does justice for what is revealed throughout. So, once again we are given a DARPA press release of sorts that covers a program supposedly in development. But this is not even the first time that drone boats with the ability to patrol, and attack, enemies have been covered in establishment media. CNN reported in 2014 that the U.S. Navy could swarm foes with robot boats. The U.S. Navy is getting ready to swarm its adversaries. The Office of Naval Research over the weekend released video of tests conducted in August that showed five drone boats swarming a vessel that posed a threat to a Navy ship. The U.S. Navy is unleashing a new era in advanced ship protection, the service says in the video. Controlled by what the Navy calls Control Architecture for Robotic Agent Command and Sensing (CARACaS), a sensor and software kit that is transferable among small vessels, a fleet of more than a dozen small unmanned boats cruise along the James River in Virginia, setting up a protective screen on a Navy research ship. When a threatening vessel is detected, five boats break off to confront it. Robert Work would know this, as he also was the Undersecretary of the Navy from 2009-2013. All of this is to say that the Sea Hunter project, specifically, might be new; but the concept is most certainly not, nor is the spokesperson for this initiative part of a group of humble public servants just trying to figure things out as Work has intimated in past interviews. Naturally well never really know how far advanced the current state of robotic warfare is, but at least we are being publicly offered the blueprints for what we can expect. According to Secretary Work, this single robotic warship prototype will only kick-start what he envisions as oceans filled with unmanned craft: I would like to see unmanned flotillas operating in the western Pacific and the Persian Gulf within five years, he said, comparing the protype [sic] ship to early drone aircraft. At the very least, unless costs are significantly reduced, this appears to be another outrageously expensive military expenditure. Reuters reports a price tag of $20 million per warship and operating costs of up to $20,000 per day. This announcement should be further viewed as merely one part of a much, much wider desire to see a full matrix of war where all systems on land, in the air, and below the surface will communicate and orchestrate missions absent human input. In fact, a possible practice run of this wider concept has been scheduled for October off the Scottish Coast as the allies line up for the largest demonstration to date Unmanned Warrior 2016. At this point, all we are left with are the assurances from Robert Work that the Sea Hunter will not be armed, its merely a patrol boat hoping, I suppose, that people have not read about previous military strategies. Theres no reason to be afraid of a ship like this, Work told reporters at the ceremony. Watch this video, check the documents, consider history, and decide for yourself.

The Washington Post is a virtual arm of the CIA and has been for a very long time. Brzezinski said years ago nation states have become obsolete the drones and ships are to control the serfs, not an arms race. No matter how far reaching it may sound to some people, we definitely have to consider that as a real possibility. I was reading the article thinking I sure wish the government would learn to mind their own business, then, I read your comment and realized that they are minding their own business as they perceive it. Im just looking up from the bottom of the food chain. Your point is well taken and I realize war has been a preferred tool for social engineering. However, most people tend to forget the banksters are psychopath control freaks who control all nations and are extremely close to completing the build up of their totalitarian world government techno surveillance system of control such that a major war would be counterproductive at this point undermining their infrastructure, risking loss of control on a number of fronts. IMO, thats exactly why they engineered the global war on terror, to create a global nemesis they can use in a highly targeted manner. They can also use their control over the global economic system also in a very precise manner. Thats all they need to finish the job. Getting the public to believe we are facing showdowns with nations X,Y, and Z provides cover for their true agenda and estimates are we only have 3 to 5 years before the new system goes fully live electronically monitoring and analyzing everything we do 24/7, chipped or virtually chipped via biometrics and RFID IDs and cards. All part of the global robot army. They are making humans obsolete so they can exterminate us through autonomous killer robots. These robots are no doubt part of this plan or their successors will be. Skynet, Seanet, Mindnet You got humanitys balls in a vice grip here ya freekin psychos!

2	The Pentagon Takes Down Trey Gowdy For Going After Hillary... Please Send Your Support In the past few months, the media has been focused on the presidential debates. While the rest of the world was distracted, Trey Gowdy was hard at work trying to uncover the truth about the terror attacks in Benghazi, Libya. Clinton supporters have criticized the House Selection Committee on Benghazi for not completing its mission in the two years they have been investigating. Gowdy has pushed back on those claims, arguing that the White Houses lack of cooperation has delayed the investigation immensely. Gowdy also wrote a scathing letter to Defense Secretary Ash Carter, alleging that the Pentagon chief and one of his top lieutenants, 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. It will not prevent this Committee from interviewing all witnesses who can help us write the final, definitive accounting of what happened before, during and after the attacks that killed four Americans in Benghazi and injured others. It will just prolong the investigation. What do you think? Do you applaud Gowdy for refusing to back down in his fight for justice? 
2	Firefighters Refuse To Stay Silent, Put It All On The Line For Trump Throughout his campaign, President-elect Donald Trump earned a reputation as the law and order candidate. With promises to protect those who work each day to keep our country safe, its no wonder that he won the support of police officers and firefighters by a landslide. This was on full display yesterday morning, as Trump was preparing to leave New Yorks La Guardia airport to head to Washington D.C. for meetings with President Barack Obama and congressional leaders in the White House. According to reports, as Trumps plane taxied toward the runway, it traveled underneath an arch of cascading water shot into the air by a pair of Port Authority fire trucks. Other firefighters were spotted waving at the plane as it passed. The tradition of a water cannon salute is typically reserved for ceremonial purposes. Historically, it has been used at airports to mark important occasions like the retirement of senior pilots and air traffic controllers. It is an immense display of respect. Vice President-elect Mike Pence received a similar salute on his own plane, which followed Trumps to D.C. What do you think? Are you ready for Trump to be in the White House?

Reportedly, the students were out of a designated free speech zone. Because the students were on a sidewalk close to a residence hall, they were approached repeatedly by school administrators asking them to move. One university official told the students that the public institution had a free speech zone which amounted to less than 1 percent of the campus. This is the only area where students are allowed to pass out pamphlets. Watch the videos below and tell us what you think.

2	Obama Compares Himself To Great American Presidents By now, we all know that President Obama has a bit of an ego (and yes, were aware that is an understatement). However, recent statements show that his perception of his presidency may be even more grandiose than anyone could have imagined. In fact, when he was discussing the recent exchange of Taliban prisoners, Obama even compared himself to some of the most adored presidents in history. In his conversations with Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, Obama claimed that exchanges are simply what happens at the end of wars. He continued on to claim, That was true for George Washington, that was true for Abraham Lincoln, that was true for FDR. Thats been true of every combat situation, that at some point, you make sure that you try to get your folks back. And thats the right thing to do. While there is some truth in theory to Obamas remarks, the War on Terror can hardly be compared to the Civil War. By aligning himself with American heroes, Obama is trying to distract from the fact that he recent actions broke the law. What do you think? Should Obama be considered a great president?

3	Propaganda Explained: Who is the Wests Lead MH17 Investigator?By Ulson Gunnar While Russia has provided all documented evidence it possesses since the incident first occurred, data including recordings and radar readouts from NATO and Ukraine have been suspiciously withheld. Instead of presenting documented evidence, the United States and its partners in NATO have worked tirelessly to stand up innuendo and baseless accusations in its place. Perhaps understanding that appealing to the emotions of the general public rather than their intelligence and reasoning seemed a better strategy to achieve the swaying of global opinion against Russia. And perhaps a lack of actual evidence, or perhaps the existence of self-incriminating evidence has forced the United States and its collaborators to opt for this alternate tack. While Russia drew upon its intelligence community and military assets to acquire and analyze information regarding the MH17 tragedy, the United States and NATO, despite their immense resources have turned instead to literally the most unqualified individual within their borders to lead its own unofficial investigation. Since the US and NATO have clearly decided to try Russia in the court of public opinion, it is only suitable that the investigation unfolds there as well. Meet Detective Couch Potato Leading American and NATO efforts to manage public perception regarding MH17 is professional couch-potato Eliot Higgins. Previously a laid-off government worker living in the United Kingdom, Higgins began blogging from home under the pen name Brown Moses. His work was not entirely malicious at first. By applying objectivity and serving as a resource compiling vast amounts of information regarding the conflict in Syria he acquired a large following. His work apparently caught the attention of corporate and state media operations, and in particular, the London Guardian. It was his association there and an apparent financial arrangement was struck alleviating his unemployment and causing Higgins to cash in his objectivity to use his somewhat unique brand of citizen journalism as a sort of Trojan Horse. The established media of the US, UK and much of Europe has consistently betrayed and subsequently lost the trust of the public. By cultivating alternative journalists to repeat mainstream lies disguised as alternative commentary, it is hoped that lost ground in manipulating the general public can be gained back. Despite Higgins complete lack of forensic, military, geopolitical and academic background he is endlessly deferred to and given column space throughout the largest Western papers, magazines and online journals. Finding Facts Between the Cushions When in August of 2013 chemical weapons were used in an attack near the Syrian capital of Damascus, the United States and its European allies immediately blamed the Syrian government. With unprecedented speed, the decision to topple the Syrian government through direct military intervention was made. Yet just as fast as the US declared its intents, its pretext for war was dismissed by a skeptical public. When it came time to produce evidence, it was withheld (and is to this day) under the excuse that revealing it would compromise how it was gathered and thus jeopardize future operations. Higgins, in tandem with hired defense contractor Dan Kaszeta, were tasked with building a body of lies inside the void left by the United States official refusal to release what they claimed they knew about the attacks. When award-winning journalist Seymour Hersh released his own report on the attack, the closest, most accurate and most credible account to date of what actually happened along the outskirts of Damascus during the summer of 2013, Higgins and his supporters throughout the establishment media shamelessly wrote Hersh off as old fashioned and out of touch. Unlike Higgins, however, Hershs report was based on intelligence and security professionals working in the United States government and their reports drawn from some of the best information available not compilations of YouTube videos, Google Maps, dubious e-mail conversations with unverified anonymous individuals and amateur photographic forensics. Is Reading Stains on the Sofa Really Analysis? Higgins attention now follows wherever the Western media needs it most. Lately that has been in eastern Ukraine. He has been the star non-witness cum non-expert regarding all matters Ukraine and in particular, MH17. Since the United States and the rest of NATO refuses to release what evidence they claim they have (again), it has been up to Higgins and the growing mainstream media circus surrounding him to once again fill the void. This explains why Higgins consistently only finds faults with Russias side of the story. At one point Higgins accused Russia of using Photoshop to doctor satellite images it provided to better illustrate the state of the battlefield when MH17 was downed. German paper Spiegel consulted a real expert to refute Higgins and his Bellingcat research groups accusations. When Jens Kriese, a researcher and professional image forensics expert, was asked what his thoughts were on Higgins use of the analysis tool FotoForensic.com, he responded by saying: [FotoForensic.coms] founder Neal Krawetz also distanced himself from Bellingcats conclusions on Twitter. He described it as a good example of how to not do image analysis. What Bellingcat is doing is nothing more than reading tea leaves. Error Level Analysis is a method used by hobbyists. Of course, the practice of reading tea leaves is based part on fraud, part on superstition, using ones fears, ignorance and insecurities to gain advantage over them either socially or financially or both by claiming to hold exclusive insight into what otherwise random tea leaves are telling one about their future fortunes. And that is precisely what Higgins and his dubious methods are all about. He is compiling otherwise random and/or irrelevant facts and interpreting them under the guise of being an expert knowing that the general public lacks the experience or expertise to know whether he is being truthful or not. Russias evidence can and should be examined and scrutinized. But those that accuse Russia of downing MH17 are not even underpinning these accusations with their own evidence, but, instead, resort to the intentional misinterpretation of circumstances, events and evidence presented by others to suit an already predetermined conclusion. Like Syria in regards to claims Damascus was behind the deadly 2013 chemical attack, or before that in Iraq where the United States claimed the government in Baghdad maintained a dangerous arsenal of weapons of mass destruction, the US is again convicting its enemies of crimes with a suspicious lack of evidence. When the United States and Europe find their media, the voice representing their collective civilization across the rest of the globe, deferring to an unemployed couch potato to bolster baseless lies through the blatant, intentional and systematic abuse of research and analysis, new lows have been plumbed that only reflects further on the depravity and intellectual destitution the once champions of science and reason have arrived at. Ulson Gunnar, a New York-based geopolitical analyst and writer especially for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook. You may want to change this: While Russia has provided all documented evidence it possesses since the incident first occurred, to, While Russia has told us that they have provided all documented evidence it possesses since the incident first occurred Pssst!

1	Completely embarrassing themselves in a pitiful display of collective ineptitude, a group of five female friends who gathered for happy hour Monday reportedly failed in their sole duty of providing a recommendation for a good gynecologist when asked for one by a new acquaintance who had recently moved to the area. Yeah, I cant really think of anyone, said local woman Mary Goertz, echoing the sentiment of the four other total fuckups who, instead of completing the simple task of producing the name and location of a dependable womens health specialist in their city, completely shit the bed and floundered around like useless imbeciles. I think my coworker has a decent one. Maybe you should check online reviews or something. At press time, a group of female friends at a nearby table who had overheard the conversation put the total failures in their place by serving up a really great gynecologist in two fucking seconds. 
3	Groups call for video evidence to be made public in case of unarmed man shot 10 times by police officerMadison Ruppert Early Saturday morning Randall Kerrick, a Charlotte police officer, was charged with voluntary manslaughter in the shooting of Jonathan Ferrell and is expected to be arraigned Tuesday. Kerrick reportedly fired on Ferrell 10 times, striking him 10 times, according to a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department statement issued Monday. Leaders of local civil rights organizations called for increased police oversight by citizens along with the release of critical footage, according to NBC News. The incident that led to Ferrells killing began around 2:30 a.m. Saturday when he began knocking on the door of a womans home in suburban Charlotte. The woman dialed 911, ignorant of the fact that Ferrell was apparently attempting to get help after he crashed his car in the woods nearby. Three police officers responded to the call. Ferrell ran towards the officers as they exited their vehicles, leading to one officer unsuccessfully attempting to fire his Taser at Ferrell before Kerrick opened fire. Kerrick fired on Ferrell, killing him on the spot. Police did not discover Ferrells car until later in the morning. It was a pretty serious accident, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Rodney Monroe said to CNN affiliate WSOC. Speaking of the killing of Ferrell, who was African American, Kojo Nantambu, president of the Charlotte chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), said it was not an anomaly. Any day in this country, an African-American man can be killed for no reason by the people who are supposed to be protecting him, Nantambu said. Thats not an anomaly in this country. Kerrick reportedly worked as an animal control officer in Charlotte in 2010 and was promoted to police recruit in 2011. He was reportedly suspended for a day in 2012 but a police spokesman would not give reporters more information about why he was suspended. Clearly this is someone who did not have the necessary intelligence, discernment or compassion to walk the streets of Charlotte with a handgun, let alone a badge, Chris Chestnut, the Ferrell familys attorney, said. The North Carolina chapter of the ACLU and others called on Charlotte to bolster their citizens review board, a body which is tasked with investigating complaints against police but has never ruled against the police department, according to NBC. The ACLU has also called on the police department to release all of the video footage recorded during the police response. Last month, Charlotte police began a new program testing cameras placed on the bodies of officers instead of on the dashboards of squad cars. If the footage is turned over, it could give a great deal of insight into the event. Kerrick turned himself in on Saturday afternoon and was released on $50,000 bond on Sunday. He was originally slated to be arraigned on Monday but it was changed to Tuesday without explanation. While the family is reportedly going to consider legal options after a thorough review of the case, Ferrells mother said she is praying for Kerrick. You took a piece out of my heart that never can be put back, she said. But I forgive you. Interestingly, the Associated Press ran with the first part of the quote from Ferrells mother Georgia but chose not to print the fact that she said she forgave his killer until much later in the story. I truly forgive him. I pray for him. And I pray that he gets off the police force, she said, according to the AP. Ferrell, who played football at Florida AM University would be 25 next month and was engaged. He moved to Charlotte in 2012 to be with his fiance.

1	Citing the need to measure student achievement as its top priority, the U.S. Department of Education launched a new initiative Thursday to replace the nations entire K-12 curriculum with a single standardized test. According to government officials, the four-hour-long Universal Education Assessment will be used in every public school across the country, will contain identical questions for every student based on material appropriate for kindergarten through 12th grade, and will permanently take the place of more traditional methods such as classroom instruction and homework assignments. By administering one uniform test to our nations 50 million students, we can ensure that every child is evaluated by the exact same standard, regardless of background, age, or grade level, said Education Secretary Arne Duncan, explaining that students will be able to take the test at any time between age 5 and 18. Its absolutely crucial for us to know where our kids stand, and eliminating the teaching model will provide us with the most affordable and efficient means of measuring student proficiency. By doing away with the overly complex program of full-length school days and lessons stretched out over 13 academic years, we can concentrate on increasing the reliability of our data and determine just how each student stacks up. There is no better way to ensure consistency in Americas schools, Duncan added. The new test will reportedly cover all topics formerly taught in K-12 classrooms, including algebra, World War I, cursive penmanship, pre-algebra, state capitals, biology, letters of the alphabet, environmental science, civics, French, Newtonian mechanics, parts of speech, and the Cold War. Sources said students will also be expected to demonstrate their knowledge of 19th-century American pioneer life, photosynthesis, and telling time. By doing away with the overly complex program of full-length school days and lessons stretched out over 13 academic years, we can concentrate on increasing the reliability of our data and determine just how each student stacks up, said Patrick Herlihy, an education researcher who helped design the test. This is the best, most comprehensive way yet of holding our schools accountable. This initiative also has the potential to help level the playing field, Herlihy continued. Kids in Mississippi, for example, will have literally the exact same educational opportunities as kids in Massachusetts. Officials confirmed the test will consist mostly of multiple-choice questions, though it will also include an essay section in which students will be able to choose from one of several prompts, ranging from Describe the American system of federalism, to If I could be any animal in the world, I would be a, to Write a book report on Lois Lowrys The Giver. Jeff Escudero, a 10-year-old from Winamac, IN who plans to take the test and hopefully complete his primary and secondary education next month, admitted to reporters that the new standardized exam was a source of stress for him. Theres a lot riding on this, Escudero said. Still, I think Im pretty set. I just have to learn the periodic table, be able to explain what triangular trade is, and remember that it goes egg, larva, pupa, butterfly. Itll be hard answering all those questions about Richard III and the New Deal, but at least Ive already got the numbers up to 20 totally memorized. And once Im done with the test, I wont have to go to school anymore. Officials said the initiative would also focus on improving teacher performance by tying teachers salaries to the test scores of the students they hand the assessment to.

1	Describing the discovery as the most flawless specimen ever unearthed, a team of geologists working in northern Colorado announced Friday they had excavated a fully intact rock. This stunning find provides an illuminating glimpse into what rocks may have looked like in their complete form millions of years ago, said lead geologist James Powell, adding that the extremely well-preserved rock offers unprecedented insight into the physical structure, shape, and characteristics of early rocks in ways that incomplete stone fragments and shards never could. Previously, reconstructing a whole rock from small remnant pieces was difficult, and we never had a complete specimen. Wed invariably end up with several missing parts, and we could only speculate about what might have filled them. But now, we can safely say that these empty spaces were most likely filled with other bits of rock. It looks nothing like we could possibly imagine. Powell added that further research was necessary to determine if a geological link existed between rocks, pebbles, and boulders.

1	Having endured weeks of pointed criticism over their aggressive questions, research-based analyses, and recent tendency to reference the candidates' actual records, America's political journalists vowed Monday to return to their long-standing tradition of lobbing meaningless questions and admiring remarks at this year's presidential and vice presidential nominees. 'On behalf of the entire American media, I would like to apologize to the free world for our unwelcome and inappropriate forays into public accountability and accurate reporting,' said Leonard Downie, Jr., executive editor of The Washington Post. 'We don't know what got into us. One minute we're printing Obama's iTunes playlist, but the next minute we're checking the veracity of McCain's negative campaign ads. That's not what political journalism is supposed to be about, and we are sorry.' Further reports indicate that all television news outlets will immediately cease their unnecessary vetting of the vice presidential candidates, and plans have been announced to replace the upcoming debates with an optional, multiple-choice mail-in questionnaire.

3	Collectivists Hate Individuality, Tribalism And Fast And Furious 7?By Brandon Smith Some would say that it is a simple matter of good versus evil. I dont necessarily disagree, but good and evil are not defined methodologies; rather, they are inherent archetypes facts born in the minds and hearts of all men. Its a gift of comprehension from something greater than ourselves. They are felt, rather than defined, and attempts by institutions (religious, scientific, legal or otherwise) to force morality away from intuitive reason and into a realm of artificial hierarchical and mathematical standards tend to lead only to even more imbalance, destruction, innocent deaths and general immorality. There have been many nightmare regimes throughout history that have claimed to understand and obey moral laws and standards while at the same time having no personal or spiritual connection to those standards. In other words, some of the most heinous acts of immorality are often stamped with the approval of supposedly moral social and governmental institutions. This is why a person who calls himself a moral Christian, a moral Muslim, a moral atheist, a moral legislator, a moral conservative, a moral liberal, a moral social justice warrior, etc. is not necessarily a person who ultimately acts with moral conviction. It is not enough for one to memorize and follow the code of a belief system or legal system blindly. One must also understand the tenets of inborn natural law and of the human soul that make those codes meaningful (if they have retained any meaning), or he will eventually fall prey to the vicious calamities of dogma and the collective shadow. If I were to examine the core methodologies that are at odds in our society today, I would have to say that the whole fight comes down not only to good versus evil, but to collectivism versus individualism. The same demands of understanding also apply to this dichotomy. Nearly all human beings naturally gravitate toward social structures. This is not under debate. The best of us seek to work with others for the betterment of our own position in terms of survival and success, but also the betterment of our species as a whole, if possible. Beyond this, people often find solace and a sense of epiphany when discovering connections to others; the act of recognition and shared experience that is in itself a religious experience. This is what I would call community, as opposed to collectivism. Collectivism is a bastardization and manipulation of the inherent desire most people have to build connections to those around them. It takes the concept of community to the extreme end of the spectrum, and in the process, removes all that was originally good about it. In a collectivist system, individualism becomes a threat and a detriment to the functionality of society. In a community, individualism is seen as a valuable resource that brings a diversity of ideas, skills and unique views, making the group stronger. Collectivism believes the hive mind is more efficient. Community believes voluntary action and individual achievement makes society healthier in the long run. Our culture in general today is being bombarded with messages that aggrandize collectivism and stigmatize community and individualism. This is not by mere chance; it is in fact a program of indoctrination. I came across a rather strange and in some ways hilarious example of this while sifting through the propaganda platform known as Reuters. As most liberty movement activists are well aware, Reuters is a longtime haven for Fabian socialists who despise honest reporting (to them media is a means of controlling the populace, not informing it) and who consistently inject concepts of collectivist (i.e., globalist) ideology into their articles. The Reuters opinion piece linked here and written by Lynn Stuart Parramore presents itself as a kind of social examination of film and its reflection of the decline of American civilization. Rather oddly, the film chosen as a litmus test was Fast And Furious 7. Yes, thats right. The Fast and Furious franchise apparently contains social commentary so disturbing to Reuters contributing cultural theorists that they felt compelled to write a short thesis on it. First, I would like to point out that when I first read the article the original title was Fast decline of postwar America furious desire to cling to family. It appears that Reuters has since amended the title to stand out a little less as a collectivist expose. Just to be clear, I have no interest in discussing the content of the Furious 7 film. My commentary will focus not on the film but on Reuters commentary regarding the filmif that makes sense to you. So what about the newest Furious film has the collectivists so concerned? As the article states, something alarming lurks at the heart of Furious 7. The films depiction of America as an economically wounded nation in which good men cannot find a means to make an honest and adequate living doesnt seem to bother them as much as the response of the main characters to such circumstances. The article almost revels in the postwar degradation of American living standards, outlining how fiscal decline has led to the disruption of the American family and posits that the golden era of the 1950s economic boom is a relic, erased by the rise of a severe haves and have-nots division in the American class sphere. This is, of course, a decidedly simplistic view that appeals more to Marxists than to anyone with true knowledge of the breakdown of the U.S. Reuters takes issue with Furious 7 because of what it refers to as the 1950s fantasy the narrative it clings to, in which the heroes long for a return to the middle-class dream, turning away from the corrupt structure of the system and reverting to the tribalism of families and posses. The myth of the posse, they state, ignores the interconnectedness of the broader society and the idea of a common culture of citizenship recedes into the background, as does faith in a society based on shared principles of justice. I find this conclusion rather fascinating in its collectivist bias. We are led to believe by Parramores article that it is the Ayn Randian code of contemporary economics and market efficiency that has led America astray. To put it simply, the free market did this to us. This is the great lie promoted ad nauseam by collectivists today collectivists who would like to divert blame for economic failure on more individualistic market ideals. The reality is that America has NOT supported free market methods for at least a century. The advent of parasitic central banking as an economic core in the Federal Reserve and constant government intervention and regulation that have only destroyed small business rather than kept large businesses in check has caused the very negative financial environment that Parramore at least recognizes as the source of our ills. Corporations themselves exist only because of government regulatory license, after all, but you wont ever catch Reuters criticizing that. It was collectivism and the rise of the statist model that bled America dry, not free-market methods that have not existed in this country for more than 100 years. The delusion that free markets are the problem was the same delusion that helped bring down Occupy Wall Street; the movement failed in part because its foundational philosophy was built on disinformation that rang false with otherwise sympathetic people. So an action movie presents a competing model to collectivism, because collectivism has always been the problem, despite what Reuters has to say. That model is a return to classic human community in the form of family and tribalism where regular individuals matter, a point the Reuters article subtly mocks as a fantasy. But here we find the collectivists using the kind of rhetoric one would come to expect from social Marxists. The article continues: When the personal posse replaces civic spirit, and the us-against-them mentality prevails, monsters can breed This is what is now happening in many corners of the world, where neglected groups have formed posses positively bloodthirsty in their quest to assert that they matter on the global stage to show they are not just victims of a rigged game Im not exactly sure what bloodthirsty groups Parramore is referring to as posses, but I suspect this is a reference to the rise of ISIS, among others. And here we find the Fabian socialist-style propaganda at play. You see, the Fabian ideology is the driving force behind globalization the same globalization that triggered the vast downward slide in American prosperity; the same globalization that has generated anger and dissension among the downtrodden and poverty-stricken; the same globalization that has created artificial economic interdependency among nations and the domino effect of fiscal crisis around the globe; and the same globalization that has led to the predominance of covert agencies, covert agencies which have been funding bloodthirsty posses like ISIS for decades. And the source philosophy behind globalization has always been collectivism the interconnectedness of broader society that Parramore proclaims as lost in the pages of the Furious 7 screenplay. Parramore ends with a stark warning to us all: a return to tribal instincts and the letting go of the broader common bonds and the welfare of the greater human family has a dark side. It is ultimately a dangerous road to travel. Those of us who support the idea of localized community (i.e., tribalism) and the value of the individual over the arbitrary collective are, supposedly, playing with fire; and we should be scared, very scared. We would not want to be labeled as bloodthirsty monsters hell-bent on disturbing the tranquility of the greater human family. Oh, boy. When I read this kind of agenda-based garbage, I am reminded of the insanity of slightly more open social Marxists, such as feminists, who have through dishonorable tactics conjured an atmosphere of collective and legal pressure designed not to present a better argument, but to make all opposing arguments a sin against the group. That is to say, social Marxists do not have a better argument, so their only option is to make rational counterarguments socially taboo or even illegal. If you want to know where social Marxism (collectivism) is headed, this is it: the labeling of individualistic philosophies as dangerous thought crimes and tribal communities as time bombs waiting to explode in the face of the wider global village. They desperately hope to conquer the world by dictating not only national boundaries and civil liberties, but the very moral code by which society and individuals function. They wish to bypass natural law with fear, fear that the collective will find you abhorrent and barbaric if you do not believe exactly as they believe. Individualism will one day be the new misogyny. Think of it this way: If an undoubtedly forgettable movie like Furious 7 cant even portray a fictional step away from the abyss of collectivist cultism without a prophecy of doom from Reuters, then is anyone really safe from these lunatics?

3	Tunisian Terrorists Are Now Confirmed Members of Syrian Death SquadsBrandon Turbeville As reported by Salma Bouzid of Tusnisia Live, the Tunisian television show, Attasiaa Massaa, recently featured a clip of a young Tunisian man named Abou Zayd Attounssi who claims that he recently returned to Tunisia after fighting for eight months alongside the inappropriately named Syrian rebels. Further supporting the fundamentalist nature of the majority of the members of the NATO death squads (aka rebels) operating in Syria, Attounssi stated that his initial reason for traveling to Syria to engage in murder, plunder, and torture against innocent people was because he felt his religion required him to engage in jihad against the enemy. Although it was apparently not the killing that turned Attounssi off from the death squad movement, he nevertheless became disillusioned with it because, most of the fighters within the Free Syrian army are fighting for the spoils of war and the foreign aid they supposedly get. Also featured on the show was the father of Hamza Rjeb, another former death squad member who is now disabled. Rjebs father claimed that the Tunisian government should take full responsibility for his sons situation and for allowing groups in the country to brainwash his son. While any occasion of violence is seized upon by the Western media to propagandize the alleged evils of the Assad regime and promote the position of the Syrian death squads, it has become increasingly obvious that rule by death squads is in direct contradiction to the desires of the Syrian people. In addition, it has also become clear that the rebel movement is nothing more than mercenaries at best and al-Qaeda fanatics at worst. In reality, the death squads are made up of both elements consisting almost entirely of foreigners who are aided, equipped, trained, and directed by Western intelligence agencies with funds and weapons funneled in through Gulf state feudal monarchies like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain as well as moral support by Tunisia. Likewise, states like Turkey and Jordan play key roles in the direction of the Syrian death squads by virtue of funneling weapons through the borders and providing intelligence and military strategies. With each passing day, the narrative propagated by NATO forces, Western media, and the U.S. State Department becomes more readily transparent and openly fabricated. Even while Secretary of State and Skull and Bones member John Kerrycontinues to play the fraudulent story that Syrian death squads are actually peaceful protesters demanding democracy, the death squads themselves are doing everything in their power to declare their fanaticism and impose strict Sharia law upon any and all who are unfortunate enough (also see here) to find themselves under their control. Despite numerous propaganda pushes, even their Western directors could not stop the death squads from announcing their loyalty to the al-Nusra front and, hence, al-Qaeda. Thus, the claim that Tunisian fighters are operating inside Syria as jihadists and mercenaries is by no means surprising. Indeed, such a claim merely stands as one more example of the true nature of the so-called rebels and the allegiances of Western powers. Read other articles by Brandon Turbeville here.

3	How to Make Butter Coffee For FocusHeather Callaghan Therefore, it should be no surprise that research is turning ideas on both coffee and butter. Again, process matters. The point is not to feel guilty about your morning routine or what you choose to consume. If you want to have a decadent, yet energizing kick to your morning, this simple change might be it. Hint: its not what you think its similar to a latte, but better. A lot of us have experienced the focus-factor of butter. It can help with sugar cravings and vitamin utilization as well. Butter from grassfed cows is simply divine for its taste, texture andfat! Not the weight-gaining or artery clogging variety. Likewise, coffee is now heavily researched for its benefits. Yet, like butter, the processing should be watched. It also gives many people a crash and the jitters. Combining the two holds a nice surprise. The butter prevents a quick caffeine spike and extends the energy boost. It can prevent the acid feel in the stomach, help with focus, prevent jitters and also precludes the desire for more and more cups of coffee during the day. There is not oily or greasy film in it the blending process turns it into a creamy consistency. What you need: Basic directions: Butter coffee has arisen to Internet fame from marketing guru and biohacker, David Asprey at Bulletproof Executive. He sells upgraded beans that are naturally processed and reportedly have lower myotoxins. They are considerably pricey, though you might also consider Costa Rican beans. He sells other products meant for this coffee at his website. Ill let him show you the rest of his method: I have not been able to find grassfed unsalted butter in my stores, but I tried the next best thing cream from raw milk (grassfed cows). I used the same directions. I had better focus, no jitters, less unhealthy cravings and did not need more than one cup (an amazing feat!) It is worth a try and the worst that could happen is a wasted cup. Have you tried it? Read more: Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist.

According to reports, the large group of Muslims began praying outside of a church during Ramadan, clearly disrespecting the fact that it was a Christian place of worship. As a result, the church began to ring its bell, which ended up drowning out the noise of the Islamic chants entirely. By the end of the video, the Muslim group is literally screaming out. Watch it below and tell us what you think. 
2	Bruce Willis Sends Beautiful Christmas Message To The Troops [VIDEO] Hollywood is a notoriously liberal place, and actors who speak out for their conservative beliefs are often putting their careers at risk to do so Bruce Willis has proven that he will not shy away from whats important to him. Several years ago, he took the time to join a USO tour to experience first-hand what U.S. military troops experience during the holiday season. Recently, Willis released a YouTube video that reminded the American people that our troops need our support during this time of year. Willis noted that it is especially difficult to be away from friends and family during Christmas. Now is the time [our troops] need us most. In support of our troops and military families stationed around the world; thank you, Willis said in the video. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. Willis then ended him message with God bless and Merry Christmas. What do you think? Do we need more people like Willis speaking out in support of our troops? 
2	BREAKING: Border Patrol Revolts, Issues Stunning Demand About Donald J Trump According to recent reports, the Republican Party in Colorado has decided against holding a GOP primary, awarding its delegates to Sen. Ted Cruz insteadwithout a popular vote. Now, the National Border Patrol Council, which has already endorsed Trump, has issued a statement to Breitbart demanding that the state of Colorado hold a primary to determined how the states delegates are bound at this months Republican National Convention in Cleveland. The statement by the council represents more than 17,000 Border Patrol members, and was published just one day after the Colorado state convention gave Cruz all of the states pledged delegates. In our March 30 endorsement statement of Donald J. Trump, we, the National Border Patrol Council, called upon the American people to stand with border agents in support of Mr. Trump and his pledge to end illegal immigration, the statement read. We fully expected that the will of the American electorate, whatever they decided in this primary, would be upheld. It is not clear that voters are being disenfranchised in order to protect established interests. By cancelling the election in Colorado, the Republican Party has found a brand new away to disenfranchise voters who want secure borders and safe communities, the statement continued. Once again, the will of the publicwho have pleaded for immigration enforcementis being overridden by special interests and agendas. We see the same thing happening across the country, where delegates won by Mr. Trumpthrough a popular recorded votehave made secret arrangements to support other candidates, thwarting the will of the millions of voters they collectively are supposed to represent. This is insidious. I am calling today on the Republican Party to promise free, fair and open elections in America, the statement concluded. What do you think of the statement? 
2	Darren Wilson Just Received Some Very Good News... This Could Be Huge Only a few weeks after Officer Darren Wilson and the shooting of Michael Brown, the fundraising began As an anonymous woman collected $500,000 in donations which was formed to help Wilson with his legal battles. The woman created Wristbands and t-shirts with the slogan I Am Darren Wilson, sold to supporters thus boosting the fundraiser. The woman states that, at the rate the donations are being received, the amount raised could potentially double in coming weeks. The woman has chosen to remain anonymous due to ongoing Internet threats, following the re-launch of the campaign and in the aftermath of the grand jury decision not to indict Wilson in the shooting of Michael Brown. Darren Wilson has gained and is gaining many supporter that know, what is happening to him is not fair and sympathize with him, knowing he will be targeted by the race rioters and anyone of color. 
1	Texans placekicker Kris Brown used a three-hour practice Thursday to work on placekicking, sources reported. 'Just did about 30 minutes of placekicking, so now I'm gonna take a break and then do a little more placekicking,' Brown was overheard saying to no one in particular. 'Placed the ball a bunch. Kicked it a bunch. Think I'm good with placekicking for the day.' Brown reportedly startled his wife that night by wondering briefly if he had forgotten to practice placekicking that day. 
2	Islamic Man Demands He Wear Muslim Outfit To Court, NoWhen Sami Osmakac, a suspected Islamic terrorist, decided to make demands of the court, he was shut down immediately by the judge. It appears that the man, responsible for planning a series of attacks in Florida, thought that he was above the rules of the courtroom. Osmakacs most recent demand was to be able to wear traditional Arab clothing during the trial. Of course, he expected the court to provide the clothing, given that his family would not pay for it. Although the judge previously granted Osmakacs request not to stand when the judge or jury entered the courtroom, this latest request went a little too far. What do you think? Did the court make the right decision by refusing to provide Osmakac with clothing from taxpayer dollars? 
1	Coach Milt Brundage, physical-education teacher at Hutchinson Middle School, derives pleasure from forcing pre-adolescents to dance on command, it was revealed Monday. 'Oh, to make the children dance,' the 58-year-old Brundage said. 'To play 'Alley Cat' for hours on end, sternly admonishing those who fall behind so that they must speed themselves, it is my greatest joy in life.' Brundage has warned students in his second-period gym class that he will extend their social-dance unit another two weeks if they do not begin to show an acceptable level of enthusiasm. 'Dance! Dance for my amusement!' he told the gawky, forlorn seventh-graders. 
2	BREAKING: Trump Makes First Major Decision As President The Second Amendment has been hanging by a thread ever since Barack Obama took office nearly eight years ago. If Hillary Clinton had won the election, she would have pushed forward Obamas mission to destroy our rights. Thats why many gun owners were thrilled last Tuesday, when Donald Trump became our countrys official president-elect. Breitbart recently reported that when Trump takes office, he will immediately implement a national reciprocity law for licensed concealed carriers across the country. This will force states to recognize concealed carry permits. With a Republican-controlled House and Senate, the bill will almost surely pass. Conservative Tribune notes that national reciprocity was one of the top priorities laid out in Trumps policy proposals on strengthening and protecting gun rights. The right to self-defense doesnt stop at the end of your driveway, Trumps policy paper stated. Thats why I have a concealed carry permit and why tens of millions of Americans do too. That permit should be valid in all 50 states. Trump then went on to argue that this step is common sense, given that a drivers license works in every state. Of course, liberals are outraged about the proposal. They have been trying to strip us of our rights for years now. What do you think? Do you support Trumps proposal? 
3	Three warning signs that a financial crash is imminentJames Smith But hearing the same wailing for years does no one any good unless you can see the threat. Seeing a threat makes it personal. It makes it in your face where you MUST deal with it. Our ancestors could see the tracks of a beast, and knew that danger was near. How near? They couldnt know unless they saw the creature. Welcome to our financial beast. Its right in front of you. These three warning signs are brand new to the news, but weve told you in the past to be ready and how to prepare for it. 1. Billionaires are dumping stocks. Dumping is different from selling. When a car or blender is shot, we dump it. If it had any value, we would sell the item hoping to make a profit. The car or blending becomes a non-performing asset, and needs to be gotten rid of. Dumping means that the losses are acceptable and the only purpose is that there is no hope of making a profit over the long term. And he is not the only one doing the massive unload. John Paulson has sold 14 million shares of JPMorgan Chase, and 100% of his stock in Family Dollar and Sara Lee. George Spooky dude Soros has sold almost 100% of his bank stocks, such as JPMorgan Chase (what are they doing that people are selling their stock?), Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup. In total, over 1 million shares of financial organizations have been sold by Soros. That alone should tell volumes of the tome of The Great Crash of 2014. But wait, theres more! 2) Stock Market at its lowest new year opening since 2008 The Dow Jones Industrial Average had its worst day since November 7, falling 135 points, and the week ending 3 January, was lower than the weeks opening. While not the best prognostic tool, the last time the new year opening was a stinker was in 2008. And we all know what happened that year. 3) The Bubble Burst that makes 2008 look safe United-ICAP chief market technician Walter Zimmerman recently sent a note to his clients outlining a small gain in the market, about 4% or around 17,150 before the dam breaks. His words of advice: His examination of the current forecasts shows some serious trouble in 2016, where the DJIA will fall about 65% to 72%, somewhere in the 4650 to 5770 range. This is territory that hasnt been seen since late-1995 to mid-1996. Zimmermans words arent alone in the wilderness. As we reported earlier, Stan Harley, Ed Carlson, and Tom DeMark haveforecast massive stock losses in the first half of January 2014. And there is Peter Boockvar, the managing director and chief market analyst at the Lindsey Group, who on Thursday predicted the SP 500 could drop 15% to 20% in 2014 and finish the year between 1550 and 1600. There you have it. The three warning signs that a financial crash is imminent. Taken individually they are meaningless. But taken as a PART of the WHOLE picture and you can gain a sense of why the crash happened. It doesnt matter that China nukes the US, even though weve been warned that Russia will do it; its the event that has to be prepared for. Are you prepared? Why not? Simply stocking up on food will get you weeks ahead of the unprepared. Stocking up on ammunition and a few guns will get you months ahead of the unprepared. Prep like your life depends on it. Because it does. This article first appeared at Prepper Podcast Radio Network. James is a father of four and grandfather to four. He and his wife of almost 30 years have been prepping since 2003.

1	After keeping the tab open for almost three hours, local man Nathan Marsten decided this afternoon he could probably shut down the MC Lyte Wikipedia page on his web browser. I looked her up earlier because I got that Cha Cha Cha song stuck in my head, but I feel like theres really no need to keep it open at this point, said Marsten, who learned from his scanning of the page that Lytes two older brothers are also hip-hop artists, and that they collaborated on some of her records. If worse comes to worst, itll still be in my browser history. Or I could just Google her name again. Itll literally take three seconds. At press time, it remains unclear as to why Marsten has opted to keep the Wikipedia page on Tripoli open. 
3	The Troubling Truth Behind the Ebola OutbreakTony Cartalucci Since the outbreak of the deadly strain of Zaire Ebola in Guinea in February, around 90 people have died as the disease has travelled to neighbouring Sierra Leone, Liberia and Mali. The outbreak has sent shock waves through communities who know little of the disease or how it is transmitted. The cases in Mali have added to fears that it is spreading through West Africa. The Guardian also reported that Mdecins Sans Frontires (MSF), also known in English as Doctors Without Borders, had established treatment centers in Guinea, one of which came under attack as locals accused the foreign aid group of bringing the disease into the country. Also under fire is the government of Guinea itself, which has proved incapable of handling the crisis. This latest outbreak, which has yet to be contained and is being considered by Doctors Without Borders as an unprecedented epidemic, illustrates several troubling truths about global health care, emergency response to outbreaks, and the perception many have of a West subjecting the developing world to a medical tyranny. In 2012, when Doctors Without Borders concluded its response to an Ebola outbreak in Uganda, it claimed in its post, MSF Concludes Emergency Ebola Response in Uganda, that: The Doctors Without Borders/Mdecins Sans Frontires (MSF) emergency response to an outbreak of Ebola in Uganda has come to an end. The MSF team handed over the Ebola treatment center it set up in Ugandas western Kibaale district to the Ugandan Ministry of Health (MoH). As part of a preparation plan for future outbreaks, MSF also restored a treatment unit in Mulago hospital, located in Kampala, Ugandas capital. Uganda has developed the capacity to respond to Ebola emergencies, said MSF emergency coordinator Olimpia de la Rosa. We can rely on the capability of Ministry of Health staff to take over and manage Ebola cases with all safety guarantees. One must wonder then, if MSF and other global health agencies can train Ugandan medical staff and hand over responsibilities to prevent a future outbreak to the government of Uganda, why havent similar provisions been undertaken in nations like Guinea, Liberia, Mali, and Sierra Leone. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Ebola outbreaks occur primarily in remote villages in Central and West Africa, near tropical rainforests. Why then have nations in Central and West Africa not been prepared for such outbreaks particularly when the many of the nations that back MSF are already heavily involved in the internal affairs of many of these nations? France alone has expended hundreds of millions of euros during its ongoing military operations in Mali, reported by France 24 in 2013 to be costing the European nation approximately 2.7 million euros a day. Money spent on costly military operations designed to project Western hegemony across Northern and Western Africa, an extension of the Wests intervention in Libya, would lead one to believe that funds should also be available to prevent unprecedented epidemics of deadly diseases like Ebola, but apparently the same preparations made in Uganda have been neglected in French-occupied Mali, as well as other Ebola-prone nations. While the West poses as chief arbiter of humanity and through its international organizations, intervening when crises strike, its failure to prepare other nations prone to Ebola outbreaks with a management formula already perfected in Uganda at the very least shakes public confidence and trust. When it intervenes in these very nations for geopolitical ambitions under the pretenses of democracy, development, and human rights but utterly fails to address the dire needs of the very people it claims to be rushing to the aid of, such confidence and trust is only further shaken. Distrust Leads to Suspicion While MSF and the government of Guinea claim mobs that attacked MSF workers were simply panicking, there exists troubling truths regarding the West and their use of chemical and biological agents for both experiments and as part of advancing their geopolitical ambitions that may have led to real genuine fears among locals that the Ebola outbreak was intentional. The devastation left in the wake of Agent Orange used during the Vietnam War, and the ongoing tragedy unfolding as a result from Americas use of depleted uranium in Iraq are two extreme examples of how the West subjected entire populations to mutagenic agents that have sown horrific birth defects, fatal degenerative conditions, and maladies that will reverberate down through generations to come. Of particular concern is the role that supposedly neutral international agencies played in attempting to cover up these atrocities. The Guardians article, How the World Health Organisation covered up Iraqs nuclear nightmare, illustrates how the WHOs conclusions were manipulated by politicized science, and offers the world a cautionary tale of how organizations like the UN and WHO cannot be entrusted to oversee issues of human health, our environment, or anything else upon which humanitys existence hinges. Beyond Agent Orange and depleted uranium, the UN and US stand accused of hundreds of thousands of forced sterilizations in Peru from 1995 to 1997. There was also the NBC News report titled, U.S. apologizes for Guatemala STD experiments, that stated: U.S. government medical researchers intentionally infected hundreds of people in Guatemala, including institutionalized mental patients, with gonorrhea and syphilis without their knowledge or permission more than 60 years ago. Many of those infected were encouraged to pass the infection onto others as part of the study. About one third of those who were infected never got adequate treatment. More troubling still are the words from Western policy makers and politicians themselves. The prospect of using genospecific bioweapons was mentioned in the Neo-Conservative Project for a New American Centurys (PNAC) 2000 report titled, Rebuilding Americas Defenses (.pdf) which stated: The proliferation of ballistic and cruise missiles and long-range unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) will make it much easier to project military power around the globe. 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) When Western policy makers regard forms of biological warfare that can target specific genotypes as politically useful tools, and with their proven track record of using chemical and biological agents on populations in both experiments and during protracted conflicts, it is not mere panic that creates the anger that led to violence aimed at MSF workers in Guinea. Those None Can Trust, Can Help No One Whether the latest outbreak of Ebola is part of some conspiracy or not may never be known. The central issue is the lack of trust Western agencies have when they attempt to respond to a crisis. Wrought not from irrational fears but from decades of abuse, atrocities, and exploitation, this lack of trust has rendered much of what the West does beyond its borders today increasingly impotent, and even at times counterproductive. Those in the MSF that are truly attempting to help are unable to because of the misdeeds of those in the Western governments that back the organization. When MSF played a central role in aiding and abetting terrorists operating in Syria, including propping up fabrications regarding the August 2013 chemical weapons attack in Damascus, it only further undermined the trust and confidence required to allow genuine members and affiliates of their organization to do their jobs elsewhere around the world. And if the West fails in its function as sole arbiter of humanity, what then should nations around the world do? That answer is quite simple.They must subscribe to a multipolar world with multipolar agencies that collaborate and cooperate rather than exist in constant and precarious dependence on the West and their international organizations. For the nations of North and Western Africa that face potential Ebola outbreaks or for nations across Asia facing similar fears regarding severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), they themselves must find international partners, not to depend on in a time of crisis, but to train and prepare them nations health workers to be self-sufficient and capable of handling outbreaks before they occur. Part of what some perceive as the Wests medical tyranny, is its creation of circumstances in which subject nations constantly rely on them for aid, expertise, and assistance. Such dependence is contrary to national sovereignty and endangers the freedom and security of individuals within that nation. In Guinea, the governments inability to handle the crisis has allowed it to grow to dangerous proportions, while necessitating the inclusion of foreign agencies the public simply doesnt trust. It is an indictment against so-called international health organizations, including WHO, and the many Western-backed agencies that work in the field on its behalf. Nations must begin taking responsibility themselves for dealing with outbreaks, and partner nations should guide them in doing so, not holding their hand each time a crisis develops. The latest outbreak of Ebola across Western Africa illustrates how sorely ill-suited the Wests international agencies are in protecting the global population, and how the global population would be better served by finding ways to protect themselves.

1	Amid recent accusations of HGH use and resurfacing sexual assault allegations from his time in college, Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning fondly recalled when the most damaging aspect of his legacy was that he had not won a Super Bowl, sources confirmed Monday. You know, I really miss when the biggest hit to my personal and professional reputation was failing to deliver a championship with the Colts, said Manning, adding that he now longs for past ridicule that focused exclusively on below-par performances in the playoffs against lower-seeded AFC teams. Those really were the days, when comparisons to Dan Marino and Charles Barkley were my biggest source of embarrassment, and when the absolute worst things anyone could say about me were that I choke in big games and cant handle playing in cold weather. Man, what I would give to just go back to that. Manning added that he took for granted all the years when simply winning a football game was enough to prove that people were wrong about him. 
2	You Wont Believe What They Just Confirmed At Trumps Inauguration... Its Happening Because Hollywood and the entertainment industry leans so heavily liberal, Donald Trump has had a difficult time convincing anyone to perform at his inauguration on January 20. Many performers are fearful that appearing at the event will end their careerswhich are controlled by some of the most liberal people in this country. Now, the Trump campaign has gotten great news. The Radio City Rockettes and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir have agreed to perform at the event. The Rockettes are a wonderful group who have been a part of American culture for decades, almost 100 years, and they represent many women from around the country and theyre really whats best about America, Boris Epshteyn commented in a statement. James L. Dolan, executive chairman of the Madison Square Garden Co., also expressed excitement about the ladies appearing at the event. The Radio City Rockettes, an original American brand, have performed at Radio City Music Hall since 1925 and, as treasured American icons, have taken part in some of the nations most illustrious events such as Super Bowl halftime shows, Macys Thanksgiving Day parades and presidential inaugurations, including in 2011 and 2005, Dolan commented. We are honored that the Rockettes have again been asked to perform at the upcoming inauguration. Epshteyn also combated rumors by insisting Trump has had a ton of great performers, entertainers, and just Americans, reaching out, wanting to be a part. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir has also performed at inaugurations in the past, for Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon and George H.W. Bush. They also performed in the parades of the Bushes and Ronald Reagan. Singing the music of America is one of the things we do best, choir president Ron Jarrett told reporters. We are honored to be able to serve our country by providing music for the inauguration of our next president. What do you think? Do you applaud these two groups for doing the right thing and standing behind our countrys choice for president? 
3	CIA Whistleblower John Kiriakou Help Action Day: May 9thCatherine J. Frompovich From what Ive been able to gather from reports on the Web and what John shares with me in his letters, John apparently experiences deliberate harassment at the hands of prison officials and/or guards. In his April 30th letter to me, John says The above harassment made my heart sink to think that humans would be deliberately mean to other humans. What apparently is going on, in my opinion, is to make Johns experience an example for potential whistleblowers to understand what life will be like if you choose to do the right thing and report wrongdoing, especially against the U.S. federal government or its agencies. In my next letter to John, I will try to lift his spirits and enclose a printout of this selfnews Post blog because he does not have access to the Internet. Ive sent him photocopies of various blogs about him published on the net, which he appreciates. John also appreciates those who are trying to help him get: a) relief from harassment, and b) immediate removal to a halfway house near his family. The plan of action is a blitz on all members of Congress in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives asking each Congressperson to contact the Bureau of Prisons to move John Kiriakou (#79637-083) immediately into a halfway house near his family. Heres Firedoglakes plan of action: Step 1: Find Congressional local offices near you: Step 2: Download / print our information packet to leave with office staff. Step 3: Look over our talking points so you know what to say: For more information and talking points, check out the white paper which contains a lot more information about his case. Step 4: Report back and let Firedoglake.com know whose office you visited and how it went. Unable to visit a congressional office? Call the Bureau of Prisons and ask them to move John immediately Donate to file FOIA requests for John If you have any questions about the day, please dont hesitate to contact Brian at brian@firedoglake.com The above plan of action should be relatively easy to carry out, even if you only are able to send an email, fax, or make a phone call. Every little effort will contribute to the total sum of getting John what is due him: Under Bureau of Prison guidelines, John was eligible for halfway house release on May 1. Hes running a little late on a release date, Id say. Thanks for whatever readers can do. I will tell John that you have been supportive. Personally, I appreciate your kindness in reading this blog and helping out. Thanks!

1	Despite devoting countless resources toward rectifying the issue, Chinese government officials announced Monday that the country has struggled to recruit hackers fast enough to keep pace with vulnerabilities in U.S. security systems. With new weaknesses in U.S. networks popping up every day, we simply dont have the manpower to effectively exploit every single loophole in their security protocols, said security minister Liu Xiang, who confirmed that the thousands of Chinese computer experts employed to expose flaws in American data systems are just no match for the United States increasingly ineffective digital safeguards. We cant keep track of all of the glaring deficiencies in their firewall protections, let alone hire and train enough hackers to attack each one. And now, theyre failing to address them at a rate that shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon. The gaps in the State Department security systems alone take up almost half my workforce. At press time, Liu confirmed that an inadequate labor pool had forced China to outsource some of its hacker work to Russia.

The accident took place while she was at the range on vacation, and of course, liberals took the opportunity to bash second amendment rights. However, others joined the conversation as well, including left wing talk show host Geraldo Rivera. Like I always say, the second amendment, the provision that gives every American the right to keep and bear arms, is blind and stupid, Rivera announced, calling for tougher gun laws. He went on to claim that the NRA perpetuates gun hysteria in our country, making firearms more accessible to children. To build the emotional sentiment of the case, he referred to his own nine-year-old daughter. What do you think of Riveras comments? Do you stand behind second amendment rights?

Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ben Carson are likely to get Secret Service protection, Fox News has learned. The development comes after an aide to Carson met with the U.S. Secret Services Dignitary Protection Division to request protection for the candidate as threats against him have grown, according to a source familiar with the conversation. The source said the request is likely to be approved this week, as is Secret Service protection for Trump. The source told Fox News that a representative for Trumps campaign also made contact with the Secret Service on Friday. Fox News These candidates definitely need support. We cant have anything happen to our next President. Do you guys think Trump deserves protection? 
2	Donald Trump ERADICATES Race Baiters In Brutal 10 Word Message [VIDEO] In a recent interview with Fox News, Donald Trump stirred controversy when he decided to address the Black Lives Matter movement. These are people who are unfit to run for office, Trump said of the protest leaders. Theyre trouble, I think theyre looking for trouble. I looked at a couple of the people that were interview from the group. I saw them with hate last week coming down the street, talking about cops and police and what should be done to them, and thats not good. Its a disgrace that theyre getting away with it, Trump continued. I think its disgraceful the way that theyre being catered to by the Democrats. The fact is all lives matter, the presidential hopeful concluded. That includes black, and it includes white, and it includes everybody else. Democrats are afraid to even say that. Theyre apologizing because they say white lives mater. What do you think? Do you agree with Trumps comments even though hes going to get hell for this? 
1	Sitting by himself behind a computer desk in an otherwise empty rented office space, former Virginia governor and current Republican presidential candidate Jim Gilmore reportedly answered a phone call Sunday by raising his voice to a high-pitched vocal register and asking the caller to hold while he transferred them to Mr. Gilmore. Just one minute, please, said Gilmore in a feminine falsetto before approximating the sound of an electronic beep with his voice and then holding still for several moments. I apologize for the wait; Mr. Gilmore is a very busy man. Weve been completely backed up all morning. If I cant get in touch with him, would it be okay to have him returnoh, wait, youre in luck, here he is. One second. Hello, this is Jim. At press time, Gilmore was explaining to the person on the other end of the line that the law office of Cafferty & Sullivan had moved out of the building several weeks ago and was now located over on Union Street. 
1	As the saying goes, you cant keep a good man down. Or, in this case, a good rat! Despite pesticides, traps, flooding, a constant lack of food and the universal hatred of almost all other life forms, Tootho the Rat just refuses to die! Will this toothsome rodent eat and do absolutely anything to survive? You bet he will! Tootho, a wild, disease-ridden 2-year-old rat from the urban hellhole known as subterranean Manhattan, has been impressing everyone from subway patrons to municipal sewage workers with his unflappable determination. Tootho may be a flea-covered vermin with a 30-foot tapeworm in his lower digestive tract, but when it comes to making it through one more day in the city he loves, he has a look in his eyes that seems to say, I demand more food sources. Weve seen him do just about everything: eat garbage, swim through raw human fecal matter, eat other rats, says Jake Dones, a trash disposal worker. I once even saw him eat the eyes out of a dead wino. Fellow city employee Karl Pzcyszny was equally impressed with the loathsome rodents tremendous will to live. Weve thrown everything weve got against himpoison gas bombs, death powder capsules, hidden steel traps, trained attack terriersbut he still shows up every day, ready to eat, Pzcyszny says. Ellen Burgess, a single mother and head of a homeless family of four, adds: You know what we saw Tootho eat the other day? Youre not going to believe it, but he ate a shoe! But what exactly is it that drives Tootho the Rat, giving him the stamina and tenacity to keep on keepin on day in and day out, never ceasing in his quest for survival? According to Clark Newman, head of New Yorks De-partment of Sanitation, the answer may be simpler than it seems. The way we see it, Tootho is motivated largely by an instinctive urge to seek out a food supply, produce offspring, and succeed in the process we know as natural selection, he says. To the best of my knowledge, humans are motivated exactly the same way. But how long can he keep it up? He might end up chewing rubber matting, building nests out of medical waste, and impregnating female rats at an explosive rate well into the 21st century! Hes that determined. These vagabond shoes are leaving today! Ill make a brand new start of it in ol New York! Tootho said at a press conference. The Big Apple! The Great White Way! I can see those neon lights on Broadway, baby! Its NYC for me, sweetheart! There aint no city like New York City! Kiss me! Kiss me! If I can make it there, Ill make it anywhere! Im headin straight to the top, mama! Straight to the top! Watch me hitch my wagon to a star! After bowing repeatedly and blowing kisses to the assembled press, Tootho then scurried into a sewer pipe, where he proceeded to tear the rubber sealant off a septic tank run-off valve, gnawing vigorously at its coarse black surface while being drenched in sickening, poisonous effluvient. 
1	While acknowledging concerns that men vastly outnumber women in key creative positions in Hollywood, a coalition of female writers, producers, and directors told reporters Wednesday they have absolutely no problem at all being underrepresented behind the scenes of NBCs The Blacklist. It is high time that women made significant strides forward in film and television, but that said, were totally fine not making any of those strides on a show where James Spader regularly wears a fedora and is supposed to be the worlds greatest criminal mastermind, said coalition spokeswoman Gina Erickson, adding that the ongoing movement for equality in the industry could still make progress even if men wrote most of the dialogue spoken by actresses in a drama that rests on the concept that Spader has compiled a list of the worlds most dangerous criminals and demands to lead FBI efforts to catch them. If the unique perspectives of women in modern society arent fully articulated on a dramatic TV series in which the lead female character is an FBI profiler who fails to realize her own husband is a secret assassin, that is, in all honestly, completely acceptable to us. The coalition later issued a broader statement indicating that, upon further review, they would in fact be okay with not being represented behind the scenes of NBCs entire current programming lineup. 
2	Popular Fox News Host To Be FIRED For Saying THIS Live On Air [VIDEO] This Sunday, this nation mourned the loss of three more police officers after a devastating and racially-motivated shooting in Baton Rouge. Following the attack, Fox News host Shep Smith interviewed former Gov. Bobby Jindal, and the conversation got out of hand quickly. During the segment, Jindal continually used the phrase all lives matter during the interview. Though many have embraced the phrase to combat the one-sided Black Lives Matter movement, Smith was quick to criticize Jindal for using it. Governor, you know that phrase you just used is one that is seen by many as derogator, right? Smith asked Jindal. I just wonder why it is that you used that phrase when theres a certain segment of the population that believes its a real dig on them. Jindal continued to use the phrase, refusing to give in to Smith. But Smith still pushed back. I dont understand whygovernor why do you say that? Smith continued. I mean, its certainly a given that thats the case because every life matters, on every level, but you know thats a very, very divisive phrase that a lot of people hear and become really upset about and I just wonder why you keep using it. Smiths stance quickly backfired, with many patriots expressing their frustration that he had sided with Obama. Watch the segment below and tell us what you think. 
3	Is DHS Preparing an Oklahoma City Style False Flag Before November Elections?Susanne Posel, Contributor When creating a makeshift terrorist bomb ammonium nitrate is an integral ingredient. The DHS was given oversight of procurement of ammonium nitrate after Congress requestedthey regulate the sale and transfer of ammonium nitrate by an ammonium nitrate facilityto prevent the misappropriation or use of ammonium nitrate in an act of terrorism. The Ammonium Nitrate Security Programfocuses on preventing a terrorist attack by use of ammonium nitrate in a home-made bomb by requiring that its sale and those that purchase it be registered with the DHS. Purchasers are screened against the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB). In the solicitation, the DHS did not specify information that a corporation seeking to reply with a bid would need. In addition, DHS is requesting that high-density ammonium nitrate and RDX (the required booster) be delivered to an undisclosed government facility in downtown Atlantic City, NJ. The Pentagon has come before Congress with a warningthat domestic terrorist attacks may increase with the use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in the US. They are asking Congress to lay aside Posse Comitatus (PCA) in an effort to increase their use of military on the streets of America. CitingJames Holmes apartment and use of home-made bombs, Army Lt. Gen. Michael Barbero told Congress that the threat from both homegrown terrorists and global threat networks is real and presents a significant security challenge for the United States and our international partners. In India, an estimated 3,500 tons of ammonium nitrate simply goes missingfrom Indian ports without a clue from local law enforcement as to where or who has stolen the explosive component which is preferred when making homemade bombs. Ammonium nitrate was used in conjunction with nitromethane racing fuel (which is essentially jet fuel) when the 7,000 pound truck bombwas created for the Oklahoma City bombing. In this instance, domestic terrorist, Timothy McVeigh, was blamed for the bombing that was a false flag attack on American citizens in the name of gun control. Back in 2010, Mark Penn who worked as an influential advisor to former President Clinton told Chris Matthews on Hardball that President Clinton reconnected through Oklahoma, right? And the president right now seems removed. It wasnt until that speech [after the bombing] that [Clinton] really clicked with the American public. Obama needs a similar defining moment. Robert Shapiro, writing for the Financial Times said a similar comment: The bottom line here is that Americans dont believe in President Obamas leadership. He has to find some way between now and November of demonstrating that he is a leader who can command confidence and, short of a 9/11 event or an Oklahoma City bombing, I cant think of how he could do that. In 2011, the DHS surprisingly stepped back from conducting intelligence and analysis of home-grown extremism By orders of the Obama administration, based on an intelligence report on Rightwing Extremism, the threat proposed by law enforcement by domestic terrorists has fallen on deaf ears. According to the report, the failing economy combined with Obamas re-election could create violent radicalization. Terms like white supremacist have come to light as a possible direction of domestic terror incidents. Mike Sena, intelligence official for the National Fusion Center Association believes that focusing on extremists is lacking in the DHS and must be more of a focal point. One of the biggest proponents of having the DHS look deeper into other types of terrorist groups is the Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). In the recent Sikh shooting, Wade Michael Page was touted as a frustrated neo-Nazi white supremacist by the SPLC. The SPLC statesthat Page, supposed front man for a white supremacist rock band, also attempted to purchase goods from the neo-Nazi National Alliance, then Americas most important hate group. The Batman and Sikh shootings are connected in ways that point to covert operations that go beyond the rescinding of our 2nd Amendment. James Holmes had IEDs, homemade bombs, while Wade Michael Page was a white supremacist. Both of these issues are being brought up in Senate committee meetings by members of DHS, the Pentagon and other federal agencies wherein they are being used to set the stage for something . . . . The MSM are disseminating the propaganda needed to place in the social meme that domestic terrorists who are part of extremist groups and are building homemade bombs are the next Bogeyman. From the Obama administration to DHS to the false flag shootings something much bigger is coming and right now we are being prepared for it.

'We've struggled to survive under hockey for decades, so we realize it's not a realistic sport for a professional league,' said Commissioner Gary Bettman, adding that the NHL is making 'every effort' to work toward a suitable sport to play for the long term. 'With an untenable infrastructure of cold arenas and so many franchises rooted in Canadian cities, it's impossible to switch sports right now, but I promise the NHL will get out of hockey as soon as it is feasible.' Bettman refused to comment on what sport the league might go to next, but bantered happily for half an hour with a reporter who asked about volleyball.

3	Heres a Summary Of the Engineered US Election Chaos With a Positive PerspectiveBy Bernie Suarez The first point I want to emphasize as I did in several articles of the past month or so is that no one should be mistaken, in America we are smack in the middle of an engineered chaos. Thats right. Political chaos that was planned and desired by the ruling elite. Nothing going on now is by coincidence. If anyone thinks the revelations, leaks, surprises, shocking news, infighting, controversies, division, accusations and political clashes of the past months is spontaneous and coincidental then you are far too naive to comprehend what we are about to discuss. Please try to see how politics in the year 2016 with all the technology available, the global agendas of the elite, the opportunity to control resources and the trillions of dollars at stake is indeed all by design. The ruling elite can and thus WILL always try to steer humanity in the direction of their liking. This basic reality of the ruling elite pulling the strings at the highest level is the fundamental basis to understanding how the world works today. For everyone else who understands this, lets move on. Engineered chaos and the orchestration of division, strife and clashes of ideology leading to civil unrest and ultimately the fracturing of nation-states is the standard mechanism by which the US empire has exerted its domination over nation-states, especially since the creation of the CIA in 1947. This is how the US overthrows governments. The most important thing we need to understand is that chaos and civil unrest is engineered and it is usually based on the following factors: This is all we need to understand in order to recognize the engineered election season chaos and unrest weve all experienced and witnessed here in America over the past few months. Now lets apply these rules to the reality we face today in the US. I (we) are all part of this discontent. In this current example we (truth seekers, Republicans, Trump supporters, Bernie Sanders supporters, even some Democrats, anyone not completely brainwashed with Hillary propaganda) have watched as Hillary Clinton and her supporting criminal DNC, mainstream media and long list of players both domestically and globally have committed unspeakable crimes and blatantly gotten away with it. Corruption has exploded and propaganda and lies have been used to cover it up or ignore these crimes. Theres your legitimate gripe. Again, were not talking about JUST Hillary, were talking Bill Clinton, Bush Junior, Cheney, Soros and so on. Were talking almost the entire mainstream media, Obama and his conspirators and many more. The legitimacy of many of our concerns are overwhelming. The reality is that the revelations of the Clinton crimes and all the corruption and evil being officially revealed by all the sources (WikiLeaks, Project Veritas, FBI. etc.) is welcomed and to be taken serious. Theres your legitimate reason for chaos and civil unrest and I (we) are part of it. The concerns of criminality is very real for most Americans and exposing this criminality must be done. This is appealing to all of us. The controllers know this. They (the ruling elite) have to base a perceived organic chaos in America on real issues and real concerns. Because of this, naturally many of us want to see these revelations and calls for justice and accountability come to fruition. This by definition is what a revolution looks like. We embrace it, again, because its based on real issues that need real attention. This is appealing even to me and many others. This appeal is part of the engineering of the chaos and civil unrest. The one thing the masses cannot do is tell the ruling elite how to think. We (humanity) dont sit in on their (CFR and Bilderberg) meetings. We can only respond to the reality that unfolds before us with the wisdom we have which is obtained from the knowledge and understanding we gain over time. The knowledge and understanding comes from staying on top of current events, researching things on your own, thinking critically on your own, being awakened and eager to follow truth. In order to dwell in this truth-seeking mode and build your knowledge, understanding and wisdom you must by default truly understand that mainstream media is all lies and deceit controlled and operated by the elite for the purposes of controlling the beliefs of the masses. So while you are packing your brain with knowledge and following truth, realize that the ruling elite have their own plans and their own paradigm. This reality will never change. Throughout history we have seen empires come and go. Those who thirst for power will always exists and it is the wise person who learns to navigate life knowing that these control freaks exist. This is how we know for sure that the ruling WILL manipulate the end result of this election season for their benefit. More than ever, we (truth seekers) need to be alert and aware of this reality. At no point will we be able to say its over now, we can live in peace. No way. Do not be fooled. Freedom must constantly be fought for. Governments will always be corrupt. That doesnt mean we stop trying either. In the best-case scenario we might see a lot of people charged and convicted for their crimes against humanity, the Constitution, America and the world. In the best-case scenario things will get a tiny bit better for a season. Well take the good while it lasts. We shouldnt pin our hopes on a leader (whoever it may be) to lead us from the top-down. The mark of a true revolution is one where we the people begin to realize that all these leaders that want to rule humanity from the top-down are useless to us. Eventually humanity will see that we dont need them any more. Humanity will someday soon be ready to move on to a new paradigm. One of self-sustaining existence which takes advantage of technology, new levels of self-awareness, new strategies and models for survival and economic growth and true sustainability. Sustainability of the principles of truth, justice, freedom and liberty. So as this election season winds down and America awaits the big surprise which may include orchestrated revolts, terrorism or worse, lets think ahead and consider what is it that we all REALLY want. Is it really all about electing or selecting a leader to lead us? What if humanity is ready to think outside the box? For now it appears we have an opportunity to see some of the scum politicians who have betrayed humanity and America be taken down. Were all left wondering, will this happen now, this week, very soon? And, how will that play into the elections (selection)? Finally, believe it or not, despite all the craziness going on I am thankful for this version of engineered chaos since indeed it has an appeal to some of us. We are actually hearing rumors of the possible arrest of some of the elites, and if you ask me its music to my ears. Of course Ill believe it when I see it, and for what its worth Ill take the engineered chaos and see where it takes us. I believe somehow it gets us closer to wherever it is we are going. Either way, as Ive said before, paradigm shift IS here. What we do with it is up to us. And being rooted in reality and truth is all we need to make the right decisions moving forward. That to me is good news and that is why I welcome all the events that are unfolding, for better or for worse.

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. Next move? Theirs will be the software rig as explained by Bev Harris. The real question is: WHAT IS YOUR (plural) NEXT MOVE? More whining and victimization-toleration? That is exactly what they going to do. This beta male society will whimper a bit then go back to munching their grass allotment like good little Boobus Americanus sheep. As US Citizen, USMC Veteran and member, National Council of Gray Panthers Networks, my votes with Bernie: i.e, in tradition of forbears who lived in and tended this land for centuries before immigrants (pilgrims) arrival, he is aligned with what we heard as the Message from The Great Spirit- and earlier with Eph. 6:12; Put on the whole Armor of God, for our struggle is not with mortal beings but principalities powers of Evil! Sounds exactly like the The Proverbial Beast! Somewhere between the HillBillary Foundation and the George Soros NGOs mayhem will pursue and, of course, a good boogie man (the big bad bear). You never explain the reason they would engineer this chaos. Wouldnt they want a complacent and sheep-like population? 
1	Top-ranking government officials in Jerusalem confirmed Tuesday that Israel would exercise its longstanding, constitutionally granted veto power over American policy if U.S. lawmakers confirmed retired congressman Chuck Hagel as the United States next Secretary of Defense. In light of Mr. Hagels worrying remarks on Israeli-Palestinian relations and questionable classification of Israeli interests as the Jewish lobby, we consider him a highly inappropriate choice for Defense Secretary who stands far out of line with our national priorities, and therefore we are prepared to swiftly and resolutely use our official veto power over this U.S. action, said Israeli government spokesperson Mark Regev of the legal maneuver that the small Middle Eastern nation has employed to block U.S. Cabinet nominees, U.S. legislation, U.S. international relations, and U.S. domestic policy over 1,400 times in its 64-year history. Because congress does not possess the necessary nine-tenths majority to override an Israeli veto, theyll have no choice but to head back to the drawing board and provide a Defense Secretary whom we find more suitable. Sources confirmed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had sent the White House a list of three individuals the Israeli leader considered appropriate to head the American military from which U.S. President Barack Obama could choose.

1	Eugenia Stollis' delight over an unannounced visit from grandson Toby Rourke soon soured Monday when the 76-year-old grandmother began to suspect that he was only there to complete a class assignment. Stollis' grandson, Toby, almost certainly milks her for information about Pearl Harbor. 'At first we talked about baseball and his new cousin Cody, but when he started asking me about my childhood and what my parents were like, I knew something was going on,' Stollis said. 'He wasnt coming over for gingersnaps and quality time with his grandma. The boys got some homework thing. I just know it.' According to Stollis, before she could even set a can of orange soda on the kitchen table, the 10-year-old began asking her detailed questions about life on the farm where she grew up, whether she spoke any Norwegian, how her family fared without indoor plumbing, and her favorite childhood radio programs. 'I'm as sure as gum that he's got some kind of history or social studies paper to write,' Stollis said. Stollis then recalled that her daughter, Carolyn Rourke, had told her in June that her son was taking summer classes to make up for a poor second-semester academic performance. 'Does he think I was born yesterday?' Stollis said. Stollis said that Rourke rarely visits her except during family gatherings, and that the only thing he'd previously shown interest in was 'that skateboard of his,' and certainly not her life story. 'I've been through this with the other grandchildren,' said Stollis. 'They all wanted to know about my older brother Ken, who died in World War II. Some of them were more interested in my mother who had polio. I guess it depends on what class they were taking at the time. But if Toby thinks he can sneak all the information out of me, he's got another thing coming.' Added Stollis, 'And if Toby expects I'll tell him which beach Ken died storming, he's got a lot to learn about his old grandma. I don't mind telling stories, but I'm not going to do the research for him, too.' Stollis also cited Rourke's 'smiling and eager' attitude and backpack full of library books as further evidence of his true motives. 'Why does he need to know what my husband did for a living before he died in 1983?' Stollis said. 'What kind of classes are these?' Over the course of the nearly two-hour visit, Stollis grew increasingly upset at the prospect of being used by her fourth grandchild. 'I finally made up a story about how I was tired and needed to lie down,' Stollis said. 'I didn't even give him a jar of my homemade raspberry preserves that he likes so much. Even so, he seemed very pleased with himself, and I'll tell you, I didn't care for that that one bit.' Stollis also turned down Rourke's repeated attempts to pose with him for a photo, assuming it would only be used as a visual aid or poster as part of the report. After Rourke left, Stollis said that she began to worry that sensitive and personal details of her life would be revealed in a public forum. 'I don't want my old letters to FDR to appear in the school newspaper or the whole life story of my late husband, God rest his soul, to be paraded all over town for any old body to see,' Stollis said. 'Some things should stay in the family.' Stollis said she would be more careful not to get 'hoodwinked' on future visits from her grandson. 'I cherish my grandchildren,' Stollis said. 'But I didn't spend three years riveting bomber planes to have them weasel information out of me just so they can pad their report cards.' 
3	Electronic Warfare: 2 + 2 = 5By Michael T. Winter Firearms and their steroidal offspring; bombs, canons, missiles, bazookas and such sufficed for centuries as a perfectly efficient way of meting death. These deaths were unavoidable as there existed no recourse to armed conflict and brute force resolution. If control is the goal, then guns were the way to see that happen. Its been this way for quite a few hundreds of years. There are heads of state throughout history that seem to have no other goal than to kill their fellow human beings. These psychopathic individuals are well known. What makes them tick is another subject altogether, and is addressed in great detail by Andrew M. Lobaczewskis definitive treatise on the subject, Political Ponerology- a Science on the Nature of Evil Adjusted for Political Purposes [2]. However, not all despots energetically seek to kill their countrys citizens, but do so rather as a consequence of objection to their designs. For the most part, though, nefarious rulers, dictators, khans, kings, emperors, sultans, presidents and a host of other titled leaders primarily seek to control a country, region or continent both the people in it and the resources in, on and under the land. In most cases the primary objective of a tyrannical government is to exercise absolute control over the conquered and/or subjugated populace, with the most telling benefit being the subsequent revenue stream generated by lopsided trade agreements and myriad forms of taxes imposed on businesses and individuals. Investigate the Federal Reserve, the populace debt collateral and income taxes. [3] It takes a true psychopath to want to kill the golden gooseus! Corpses dont pay taxes, after all. Unfortunately, if humanity is a carriage, then the man driving with the whip is content to lighten the carriages load to the tune of a 93% reduction, from seven billion people to five hundred million. The man with the whip is an allegorical agglomeration of the * 1/1000th of the 1%; the real wealth here on earth. (Thats still a lot of people. There are seven billion people on earth. Do the math. Just kidding . . . thats still seven thousand people.) The next time you flip to TNT (Turner Network Television) remember Ted Turners words [3.5], A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal. One might have a hunch all those near and dear to him wont be in his wished-upon reduction group but we are. Ted Turner wants us dead . . . how charming. Terrifyingly, he is not alone in his assessment. This conviction is shared by other immensely powerful people in thatrarefiedpercentile. [4]Before the advent of harnessed electricity, invasion and conquering was accomplished through brute force, accompanied by the old fashioned brick and mortar weapons of war weve come to know and loathe. This method of war is going the way of the Dodo. Human ingenuity and the diligent efforts of mad scientists (can you call people who spend their days devising ever more efficient ways to kill their fellow men anything but mad?) have produced an entirely new class of weapons to unleash on peaceful, protesting people everywhere. Enter electronic warfare. There are electromagnetic weapons currently being deployed against various citizens of the world. We know them as microwave cannons, or directed energy beams. Theyve been around for decades. At Greenham Common in England, a 30,000 strong group of women camping outside an army base in protest to the deployment of nuclear-tipped US cruise missiles learned first-hand about these electromagnetic weapons. [5] One day in the summer of 1984, more than 2,000 British troops suddenly pulled back, leaving the fence unguarded. Peace mom Kim Besley recalls that as curious women approached the gate, they started experiencing odd health effects: swollen tongues, changed heartbeats, immobility, feelings of terror, and pains in the upper body. Besley found her 30-year-old daughter too ill to stand. Other symptoms typical of electromagnetic exposure included skin burns, severe headaches, drowsiness, post-menopausal menstrual bleeding and menstruation at abnormal times. Even earlier, in 1962 Moscow, US embassy staff experienced similar symptoms as the result of directed weak pulse microwaves emanating from Soviet intelligence agencies, whilst being monitored by interested CIA operatives. This is reported to have been part of Project Phoenix, an operation within the larger US government program SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) [5], [6]. The electronic warfare (EW) arsenal is not limited to microwave and directed energy beams. On our own soil, used by our own government against peacefulprotesters, sound cannons were deployed to disperse crowds at the Occupy Wall Street movement in November, 2011. [7] The manufacturer [8] insists it is a communication device. They claim the Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) provides military personnel with a powerful, penetrating warning tone that can be followed by clear voice broadcasts in host nation languages to warn and shape the behavior of potential threats. (Emphasis added) The specs indicate the LRAD employs directed sound technology to move the security engagement envelope from 50 meters (164 feet), without LRAD, to in excess of 3000 meters (1.86 miles), with LRAD, by emitting a directed, focused 110db sound that causes nausea, headaches, and yes, hearing loss. It has been compared to listening to a power saw at close range. Its ability to disperse a crowd has been proven publicly, courtesy of the crowd at Occupy Wall Street, itself an elite sponsored controlled opposition initiative. The globalists will go to any lengths to keep the publics wrath focused on anyone or anything but the central banking apparatus; the wellspring of their power, the means by which they enslave nations and place unborn generations in debt. In this instance, they threw the Wall Street banksters under the bus. Those useless, money grubbing, soul selling Wall Street louts are fodder for the globalists furnace, and they dont even know it. Sad. One can only hope they awaken. Indeed, they will when the party grinds to a halt and UN blue helmets are stationed at the corner of Wall Street and Nassau. These examples serve to illustrate there are a wide range of electronic weapons at the disposal of those that would do us harm, and these mentioned are only the ones we know about. Its been well established that military science is decades ahead of industrial science. This holds true in weaponry as well as the medical, energy and physics fields. Further, the above examples highlight the fact that a weapon does not necessarily have to kill to be effective.One thing to be sure of if there is a way to improve something, someone will be busy trying to do just that. Electronic Weapons are of course constantly being tested and improved upon. Given the vast array of data and potential applications residing in such an enormous field of science, the function of the device itself can be altered to a desired effect. The electronic weaponry referenced above is a miners pickaxe to the jewelers ball peen found in mood modifying frequency weapons in evidence today. In the good old days of maces and archers, an enemys back could be broken, but there was no way to break the mind. If the mind itself could be conditioned to accept subjugation and defeat, then half the battle is done ere the first arrows fletched. We have arrived at that very point in our weaponry evolution. While not quoting Sun Tzu directly, a safe distillation of his philosophy as regards war would be that the greatest victory is that in which no fighting takes place the globalists do study the masters. This is their goal; to get us, the useless eaters (as they have termed us), to accede to their domination with nary a peep. How do they accomplish such a feat? The answer to that can be found in Orwells 1984. OBrien wanted Winston Smith to believe that 2 + 2 = 5. It was not enough for Winston to say it he had to believe it. And so the globalists want the same out of us. They want us to believe that psychotropic pharmaceuticals are the key to happiness and chemtrails are going to save us from global warming, that GMO corn is the answer to world poverty. Would we fight against that which we believe to be good and true?Lets call this EW-Second Generation. This new generation is a hellish union of neuroscience and electronic weaponry, spawning a new method of mind control OBrien would be impressed with psychotronic weapons. In the Iraq war, US forces deployed innocuous sounding Poppers throughout Baghdad. These two-foot high domes placed strategically in and around Baghdad emitted invisible, damaging electromagnetic frequency beams across the entire electromagnetic spectrum [9]; the end goal and effective result being to selectively alter moods, behavior and bodily processes [5]. They were very effective on Iraqi citizens, but given the indiscriminate nature of the weapon itself, the poppers also affected US forces. Suicides, desertions and episodes of homicidal rage manifested on both sides of the conflict. That military program is a boondoggle in its own right, but at the end of the day, its just another disastrous, fatal program gone wrong in the US government. Other than the personal tragedy of lost lives, this is barely newsworthy, and sadly, more the norm than not. The physical science behind psychotronic weapons (think Matt Damons Will Hunting scribbling insanely complex equations on an oversized blackboard) is far beyond the average intellect, this one included. Therefore, a need exists to simplify. Any high school biology student knows that the human body is a self-contained electrical unit. The movie The Matrix, for all its fantastical imaginations, illustrated clearly and accurately that we run on electrical impulses. Where there is electricity, there is an electromagnetic frequency being generated. What photosynthesis is to plant leaves, so is frequency generation to electricity one cannot exist without the other. Our brain is a self-contained multi-frequency processor, and like most things on this planet, can be altered by design. [11] The brain is a computer, and like a computer it has a clock frequency that all thoughts, your existence, are centered around. This is a little basic because your brain in reality has multiple simultaneous clock frequencies which interact with each other and serve different purposes for biological function, whereas a microprocessor normally has only one central clock that everything in it synchronizes with. For example, your visual cortex may process at a different frequency than the section of your brain which regulates your heart beat. Feelings and thoughts will run at another frequency. Because your brain is an ultra-parallel computer, it can accomplish a lot while using frequencies that are far lower than would be practical in a microprocessor and these frequencies are in the ELF (extended low frequency) range. The fact that your brain operates on frequencies leaves it susceptible to manipulation via electronic means. Since different moods are reflected by different frequencies, it is possible to electronically force people to be relaxed when they should be angry, laugh when they should be appalled, and give loyalty when they should rebel. There is no longer a need, as in The Manchurian Candidate, to strap a subject into a chair and bombard the recipient with images and disorienting drugs until their minds are a base soup waiting on spice. The EW weapons unleashed upon us on a daily basis are far more subtle. The mind, it is well known, operates on a conscious and subconscious level. The conscious mind sees and hears at one level; it operates on its own frequency. The subconscious mind operates at a different frequency, therefore seeing images that our conscious mind doesnt. This is not lost upon the globalists. One constant with them is that if an opportunity presents itself enabling them to exploit and control people, they will do all in their considerable power to turn whatever it is into a device or operation for just that purpose. Endeavors in EW began decades ago. Sometimes the globalists reveal more than they should. (But then warning us of what is to come is their M.O. Its key in their ability to carry the burden of their sins. Those globalists do the darndest things!). In the early 70s, globalist brainiac strategist, Zbigniew Brzezinski, summed up their intentions quite candidly[10], In the technotronic society the trend would seem to be towards the aggregation of the individual support of millions of uncoordinated citizens, easily within the reach [Insert-read television] of magnetic and attractive personalities effectively exploiting the latest communications techniques to manipulate emotions and control reason. The way to send or implant a thought is to insert it into a television show at a speed far greater than the conscious mind can record, but not too fast for the subconscious mind. In the beginning, messages were inserted at 1/25th of a second. The machine capable of this was called a tachistoscope. These (suggestive mind control) subliminal insertion frames were discovered and made public. A flurry of front page headlines and congressional laws were passed and the matter went bye-bye. Regards the discoverer of the shenanigans,[11] For a large consideration and a new Mercedes convertible, the aggrieved scientist who discovered the technique by accident, agreed to a cover story that the tachistoscope was only used for one experimental film run, involving subliminal prompts to buy Coke and popcorn, but was not terrible successful. The Mercedes convertible [gifted to him for his complicity] was involved in a high speed accident and fireball just two months later. There were no survivors. Caught red-handed, it was back to the drawing board. [11] Covert development proceeded along two parallel but independent tracks, with the first focusing on blending low light images into an existing film or commercial. This was fast, and it was also a master stroke in its own right. The low light system was ready for trials in less than six months, and the effects were startling. Essentially, while the conscious mind was viewing and inwardly digesting the main film or commercial content, the subconscious mind was picking up the low light subliminal messages, which fell just below the threshold of normal vision. Where the older tachistoscope was jerky and only partly efficient, the new low light system proved to be a control revolution. The low light images were a complete film within a film running at normal speed, and thus able to properly educate those citizens not entirely in accord with One World Government views. The critical test was whether or not the low light technique could be uncovered if a copy of the film fell into the wrong hands. Exhaustive trials proved that it could not. Despite the most sophisticated ultraviolet analysis known to man, the embedded low light images could not be detected at all, because they were comprised of exactly the same color spectrum as the film itself. So, low light was dramatically effective, relatively cheap to engineer, and easy to transport and use without fear of security breaches. This low light system is still in use today, and is still dramatically effective. If we can be led to believe that 2 + 2 = 5, without our quite being aware of it, then the majority masses will indeed, for example, raise little fuss over the poisonous chemtrails hosing our atmosphere 24/7. (Doh! It happens now and where is the real outcry? YouTube? Right . . . Somethings worrrkiiinnng!). So, knowing this is happening and that we have no control over avoiding it, only one option presents itself, and is best conveyed by John Denver, [12] Blow up your TV, throw away your paper, go to the country, build you a home. Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches, try and find Jesus on your own. Notes: * Authors completely uneducated, pie in the sky, lark on a wing guesstimate. This figure represents the heads of the families, and does not include the multitude of their extended family, nor the favored minions that helped the reality of world tyranny blossom.

However many support staff are required to adequately care for and provide manual labor to however many people are left after the population reduction plan is fully implemented is anyones guess. To deny such a plan is in place is to deny a great and ever growing body of evidence pointing to precisely this fact. If that is the case, then you are still in the First Pasture of Perception.

2	Pope Francis Makes Disturbing Announcement During Congressional Speech [VIDEO] The American public had high hopes for what the Popes visit to the United States would bring. Unfortunately, since Pope Francis arrived all he seems to be doing is pushing Obamas ridiculous agendas. He recently decided to lecture Americans about immigration and other controversial issues like abortion, gay marriage, and the harboring of refugees. When the stranger in our midst appeals to us, we must not repeat the sins and errors of the past, Pope Francis pleaded. We must resolve now to live as nobly and as justly as possible, as we educate new generations not to turn their back on our neighbors and everything around us. If we want security, let us give security; if we want life, let us give life; if we want opportunities, let us provide opportunities, he continued. The yardstick we use for others will be the yardstick which time will use for us. That may sound noble enoughuntil Pope Francis decided to bring politics and refugees into the conversation. We must not be taken aback by their numbers, but rather view them as persons, seeing their faces and listening to their stories, trying to respond as best we can to their situation, he concluded, adding that immigrants are traveling north to find a better life for themselves and for their loved ones. Of course, he makes no mention of the crimes these people are committing or the damage they have done to our economy. What do you think?

Tomanovich immediately received backlash from his neighbors after he first hung the flag and noose, which only propelled his actions forward. Another noose was hung on a tree near his store Roberts Discount Tree Service, shortly thereafter. Its a tree that is easily climbable, claims Nicole Behrendt, one of Tomanovichs neighbors. Any kid could climb the tree and hang himself. Some, however, are more upset about the racial implications of the display rather than the danger it may pose. A hundred and fifty years after Abraham Lincolns death, we are still going through these kind of atrocities, Mary Greer told reporters. A hangmans noose and a Confederate flag? When Tomanovich was approached by reporters for comment, he quickly dodged the cameras. Reporters were able to interview a long time employee, who claims that he stands behind Tomanovichs actions whole heartedly. Tomanovichs wife, Lindy, has also shown support for his actions, claiming that the display is not intended to have racial undertones at all. Robert has a friend that died in that way, and thats in memory of his friend, Lindy told reporters. Theres no crime in hanging a noose. What do you think of Tomanovichs actions?

2	Illegals Are Now Going To Be Granted Citizenship In The United States According to a recent poll conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute, many Americans are still not seeing the importance of having a sealed and secure border. The poll indicates that 62% of Americans believe that illegal immigrants should be given citizenship. Contrastingly, only 19% feel that they should be deported. On top of those shocking numbers, 15% feel that they should be allowed to become legal residents. Though the weight of this poll comes from the Democratic population, the survey did reveal a similar sentiment coming from the Republican side. 51% of young republicans think that immigrants strengthen their standard of living, and want them to be welcomed into our country. While the campaigns of the leading Republican presidential candidates have been fueled by antipathy toward immigrants, these views are not reflective of the general publics mindset and may not resonate among younger Republicans and white evangelical Protestants, Dr. Robert P Jones, CEO of the Public Religion Research Institute told reporters. While these younger voters are less of a factor in the primary season, Republican candidates will need their support in the general election, Jones continued. Ted Cruz and Donald Trump have both been vocal with their intentions to strengthen border control, especially after the attacks in Brussels. 45% of people have agreed with Cruzs proposal to empower law enforcement to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized, 51% agree with Trumps proposal to ban all Muslims from entering the U.S. altogether.

According to the group, military funerals are the best place to protest because it gives them the most media attention. Like the majority of America, Snyder finds this opportunistic disrespect disgusting, and has since dedicated his life to taking down the group.

Matthew Halleck, Edsons neighbor, is a young father and a registered firearm carrier. He complies with all state regulations. So you can imagine his surprise when he Edson saw a picture of himself walking his daughter to school with the caption, This man carries a loaded gun around your children every day. Edson, who had both taken and posted the picture, went on to notify the police about Hallecks actions. Of course, police told her that he had every right to carry a gun. Since we dont have a way to stop him, we felt it was important to notify the neighborhood and the parents that there is an armed man in their presence, Edson told reporters of her sign. Still, Halleck is standing firmly behind his second amendment rights. If it heightens the awareness for folks out there that are confident enough, and see the changes in the world to add an extra layer of protection, I encourage people to do it, Halleck said of carrying a gun. What do you think? Do you support Halleck and his Constitutional rights? 
3	Amendment to NDAA Would Give Military Clandestine Operation Authority in Cyberspaceselfnews Post The prospect of clandestine military actions online against whichever targets any one of the military agencies deems appropriate will officially complete the goal of full spectrum dominance. The current text of the NDAA reads as follows: (a) AFFIRMATION.Congress affirms that the Secretary of Defense is authorized to conduct military activities in cyberspace. (b) AUTHORITY DESCRIBED.The authority referred to in subsection (a) includes the authority to carry out a clandestine operation in cyberspace (2) to defend against a cyber attack against an asset of the Department of Defense. Masnick rightly points to the key word clandestine within the above text. This is nothing short of an open admission that the military is taking full control over both the supposed safety of the infrastructure as well as manipulation of that infrastructure and the data that moves across it. In July of last year, the Pentagon announced their strategy to treat cyberspace as an operational domain in their Department of Defense Strategy for Operating in Cyberspace (PDF) where they claim that Hackers and foreign governments are increasingly able to launch sophisticated intrusions into the networks and systems that control critical civilian infrastructure. Perhaps worst of all is that this amendment is an open handover of power by Congress to let the Defense Department do whatever it wishes with minimal or no oversight, capitulating to the directives DoD has already given to Congress regarding war in the real world. A response by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in June of last year to a question by Sen. McCain made clear his view thatBarack Obama should work jointly with DoDwithin a military dictatorship framework, with a philosophy of extralegal measures taken by the president when needed by the military: Congress would seem to agree wholeheartedly with this assessment by amending Section 954 of the National Defense Authorization Act and ushering into cyberspace an even wider philosophy of military supremacy over what used to be a Constitutional Republic.

1	Hoping to encourage more busy professionals to visit Americas scenic natural areas, the Department of Interior announced this week the opening of Pinnacles National Park Express, the first federally designated preserve geared specifically toward business travelers. Its nice to finally have a simple, clean expanse of unspoiled nature where I can just pop in, enjoy looking at a couple of endangered condors, grab a quick breakfast and the days paper by a windswept escarpment, and then be on my way, said Julia Miles, a Seattle-based businesswoman and a member of the National Park Services Majesty Points reward program, which offers frequent guests perks that include exclusive access to panoramic vistas and complimentary Wi-Fi anywhere within the parks mountainous shrubland ecosystem. When Im traveling for work and visiting a national park, I want to be able to put together my presentation by a cascading waterfall, or use the business center in Bear Gulch Cave to sit in on a conference call. The cardio room overlooking the breathtaking rock formations is a nice touch, too. According to officials, the Interior Department hopes to further cater to business travelers next year by opening Denali National Park and Convention Center, a pristine subarctic protected area featuring more than 4.7 million acres of conference space. 
1	The people of Iraq celebrated the passage of their new constitution Monday, in a formal ceremony that included a stirring speech by Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, a series of explosions that left 77 dead, and a traditional dance performed by Iraqi schoolchildren. Iraqi leaders pose with the constitution after its historic signing. After many weeks of squabbling and protracted negotiations between Kurds, Sunnis, and Shiites, the historic document was declared the law of the land and destroyed late Monday afternoon, in what Talabani characterized as 'a vital step toward restoring law and order in this war-torn nation.' A car bomb killing 12 U.S. servicemen and 26 Iraqi civilians briefly interrupted the speech. 'Today in Iraq, the voice of the people was heard loud and clear,' Talabani said as U.S. fighter jets launched a retaliatory air strike overhead. 'It is moving to see so many Iraqis getting involved in the political process.' While Iraqi officials acknowledge that the path toward unified peace will be a long one, many expressed cautious optimism over Iraq's burgeoning democracy. Minister of Justice Abd al-Husayn Shandal, whose severed arm remains fixed, pen in hand, to the giant cedar signing table destroyed by a nail bomb, described the constitution as 'a powerful symbol of Iraqi peace and freedom.' 'The impressive 64 percent voter turnout for the democratic referendum, only marginally surpassed by the turnout for the ensuing riots, was a very positive achievement,' Shandal said. 'Iraq is well on its way to the peace and tranquility all democracies inherently enjoy.' When the ceremony ended, U.S. military personnel were dispatched to the historic scene, both to rescue stray pieces of the original document and to tend to Iraqi civilians critically injured during the hand-to-hand combat and small-arms fire that took place following the document's ratification. 'We were unable to recover the original document from the debris,' U.S. Army Maj. Jason Brock said. 'However, charred, tattered remnants indicate that Iraq has established a four-year parliament, which marks its full emergence as a democratic Western ally.' Brock added: 'I think there was also something in there about 'tending to the concerns of women's rights,' but I'm not 100 percent sure, because that part was soaked in blood.' Extant pieces of the original document, found under severed limbs and dusty rubble, indicate that the constitution includes inspiring phrases such as 'principles of equality,' 'free from sectarianism, racism, and discrimination,' and 'looking with confidence to a peaceful future.' Talabani said he was 'heartened' by the ratification, adding that, although the physical document was destroyed in the violent events following its signing, the 'principles and ideals set forth will persevere.' A large portion of the eloquent preamble, which vowed that the Iraqi people would learn from the mistakes of the past, was discovered seared onto a slab of smoldering flesh atop an ambulance which had been catapulted through the entrance of the convention center by a minibus explosion. 
1	Despite assuming that he had lost every last possible ounce of hope long ago, area office-supply coordinator Bob Dempsey, 31, was surprised to discover Monday that he did, in fact, possess one tiny additional shred of hope, which he subsequently lost. Bob Dempsey, 31, ponders the unlikely but theoretically possible future loss of still more hope. 'Contrary to the belief of coworkers, neighbors, distant relatives, and Mr. Dempsey himself, this so-called 'hopeless' man actually still had one infinitesimally small shred of hope, which he became aware of in the process of losing said last shred of hope,' said noted therapist Dr. Eli Wasserbaum. 'Oddly, it was only during that fleeting moment in which he was losing this additional micro-hope that he was able to realize that the hope had ever existed at all.' 'Unravelling this singular psychological event makes for a tremendous challenge for the trained therapist,' said Wasserbaum, who is attempting to reconstruct the basics of the incident, believed to be the least epiphanic moment of self-discovery in the annals of modern medicine. 'In fact, some might even say a challenge so daunting as to be hopeless.' Dempsey's discovery and subsequent loss of the hope is believed to have begun at approximately 8 a.m. Monday, when he noticed a letter in his mailboxwhich he checks every two to three weeks, usually finding nothingfrom a German address unfamiliar to him. Unable to open the letter at the time because he was on his way to work, he left it behind to read later. At some point during his workday, which consists primarily of sitting at a desk, staring into space, and occasionally placing a checkmark in boxes next to such words as 'staplers' or 'paperclips,' he realized that the name on the return address was that of an old college friend who had moved to Germany years before and told Dempsey that 'maybe you'll hear from me again sometime.' 'Apparently, though he had long since forgotten about the friend, there remained in Dempsey some residual, subconscious awareness that there was a tiny chance, however microscopically small, that he would one day hear from this person again,' Wasserbaum said. 'He must have realized this at some point during the day and experienced a slight sensation of excitement, looking forward to going home and reading the letter.' Upon returning to his squalid one-room flat that evening, however, Dempsey discovered that the letter was actually a notice from German authorities informing him that the friend had died in a fire and asking assistance in locating his relatives. The only reason Dempsey was sent the letter, sources said, was that his name was the only legible words from a charred college yearbook unearthed in the ash and rubble of the tragic blaze. Prior to Monday, Dempsey had not experienced any loss of hope in more than three years. According to Wasserbaum, a majority of Dempsey's hope-losses hit him in successive ramrod batterings between the ages of 18 and 24. By the time he had reached his late 20s, Dempsey had lost enough of his remaining hope to be considered officially hopeless. Nevertheless, he forged ahead with his few tiny remaining shreds of hopetoo insignificant to be considered hope to the average personuntil a final devastating blow depleted his hope reserves in February 1997. 'There have just been so many times he's lost hope over the years,' Wasserbaum said. 'There was the night of his senior prom, when his date and then-best friend drunkenly made out in front of dozens of classmates before openly mocking him in a group sing-along along with the rest of the senior class. This is just one of a lifetime of incidents. There was the time his recently discovered biological mother, for whom he had searched for years, told him, 'I have no son' at her own wedding, the first time they met. And one can safely assume that his rejection as 'unsuitable for conversion' by a pair of Mormon missionaries he attempted to befriend after they randomly knocked on his door must have cost him a significant amount of what precious little hope he had left. But this latest loss is one not even he could have anticipated, as he was unaware that he had any hope remaining at all.' Incredibly, even greater pain may still lie ahead for Dempsey. Experts fear that the German-letter incident may lead to the discovery of other Lilliputian bits of undiscovered hope, all of which are certain to be ultimately lost. 'If this poor, miserable wretch can finally lose every last ounce of hope, then at least his life will be relatively bearable, inasmuch as he will have nothing more to lose,' Wasserbaum said. 'However, as long as there is even the slightest chance, no matter how astronomical the odds, that he has more undiscovered hope left inside him somewhere, he will always have the inevitable loss of that hope hanging over him like a dank cloud of black soul-sludge, waiting to devour him in a pit of churning agony.' 'Of course, maybe this was the last time, after all, and he is completely hopeless for good,' said Wasserbaum. 'But even that scenario constitutes a form of hope, making his overall prospects of eventually finding a stable, hope-free existence a distant hope at best.' 
2	Liberal Gasbag Geraldo Just Got Hit With Fired For Doing THIS As a broadcaster on the Fox News Channel, Geraldo Rivera has come under fire time and time again. Now, hes just lost his talk-radio show at WABC. Rivera took to Facebook to rant about the incident, claiming that the officials at Cumulus Media do not intend to honor the handshake deal I made with the ousted company chief John Dickey, an agreement to extend my current contract for a year. Rivera also claimed that the decision to revoke the deal was especially upsetting coming in the wake of [his] emotionally charged and highly rated coverage of the Paris massacre and frantic efforts by authorities to bring the perpetrators to justice. As if using a terrorist attack to defend your ratings isnt enough, it turns out that Geraldos claims arent even wholly true. We offered Geraldo a new renewal commensurate with the value of his show, which he regretfully chose not to accept, Chad Lopez, the Marketing Manager for Cumulus told reporters. We wish him the best. Geraldo also claimed that his conflict will be easily resolved via the courts. His rant was not positively received on social media. Using Paris as a bargaining tool is about as classy as exploiting your daughters terror fears on national television, one commenter wrote. Pathetic. What do you think? Do you agree with the decision to drop Geraldo? Is he extraordinarily unprofessional? 
1	Calling it the perfect place for someone like me, outspoken former Lakers forward Metta World Peace announced Monday that he had agreed to a two-year deal with the New York Post. I know the Post has been wanting a player like this for a long time, and frankly, Metta couldnt be more excited about the role he will play in their paper, said Marc Cornstein, World Peaces agent, who told reporters that his client would shine in the tabloids controversial headlines and sensationalist articles. As much as the Post may prefer the Ron Artest of old, I think both sides understand that Metta may be a little older but still has plenty to contribute to New York newsstands. Details of the deal have yet to be made public, but many are speculating World Peace could yield nearly as much ink as Tim Tebow drew last year, depending on whether he reaches any of the outburst, tirade, or physical violence incentives built into his contract. 
3	National Emergency: Congress Attempts to Address Lead PoisoningBy Derrick Broze Members of Congress want the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to lower the federal standard for lead in drinking water in an effort to protect the public from dangerous health effects. More than sixty members of Congress signed a letter asking the EPA to lower the threshold for taking action on water contamination. Theletter wassigned by 59 Democrats and two Republicans. Currently water systems exceed the lead standard, also known as the action level when more than 10% of water samples show lead levels above 15 parts per billion. The letter asks the EPA to align with the World Health Organizations guidelines for lead contamination by reducing the action level to 10 parts per billion. There is lead in the water supplyThe threshold needs to be lowered so we dont put children at risk like were now putting children at risk, U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. told USA Today. This is a health issue in the United States. The letter notes that the current lead action level was developed in 1991 based on the practical feasibility at that time of reducing lead through controlling corrosion. Lead has been linked to a number of health problems, causing lowered IQ, and behavioral and developmental problems in babies and children. Although the action level is not a health based standard, the lawmakers hope that a lowered standard could trigger public notification and other actions to reduce the publics exposure to lead drinking water contamination. A previous USA Today investigation found lead contamination in nearly 2,000 public water systems across the United States between 2012 and 2015. The USA Today investigation was not the only study to find dangerous amounts of lead in public drinking water. The Free Thought Project recently reported on a study from theNatural Resources Defense Council: 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. Both the NRDC and USA Today studies complement another recent investigation conducted by researchers with Quest Diagnostics in St. Louis, Missouri. Researchers examined more than 5.2 million blood lead level test results for infants and children under 6 years of age over a six-year period ending in April 2015, Reuters reports. They found 3.1 percent of boys and 2.8 percent of girls had blood lead levels exceeding what the CDC considers safe. Six regions contained unsafe blood lead levels in more than 14 percent of kids, including Syracuse, Buffalo and Poughkeepsie in New York; Oil City and York in Pennsylvania; and Cincinnati, Ohio. The study authors noted that all of these high lead regions were oldindustrialcities. Much of the focus on lead poisoning comes after the disastrous situation in Flint, Michigan, where residents have been dealing with water laced with high amounts of lead for the last two years. In fact, a State of Emergency was declared in Flint due to the lead poisoning and a dangerous increase in Legionnaires Disease in January. Unsurprisingly, President Obama, federal officials, and local government agents have continued to downplay the danger of high amounts of lead in the public drinking water. Obama even went so far to mockingly drink water that was supposedly from Flint, telling residents that it was safe to drink as long as it had been filtered. One wonders if President Obama will drink another glass of the tainted water now that Congress is bringing attention to the issue and study after study confirm the danger of high amounts of lead. I wouldnt hold my breath. And I wouldnt drink the water either. Derrick Broze is an investigative journalist and liberty activist.

So the government websites estimate 73.6 million children in USA in 2015. Using the same percentage by extrapolation that would be 4,342,400 children lead poisoned. 95% of which are fully vaccinated with Hg, Al formaldehyde. 66% of which have fluorosis lowered IQ [over 50 worldwide studies now available] from the fluoridated water they must drink bathe in 100% of those tested in USA still have DDT, Scotchguard glyphosate in their systems [even though the first two are no longer used for decades]. Keep in mind all these metals,halogens, poisons are cumulative synergistic. Any wonder we have so many mental emotional physical ailments everybody is a permanent patient? Of course they want it in the water they want to poison the human race and keep us sickly . it is like everything else they only address it but do nothing about it, any poison that is the tops in population reduction, will never go out of fashion. Makes for a great sound biteThe gubbers in the east will never assist the commoner that sends feeds them (unconstitutional taxes). 
3	White Helmet Save Aleppo Protest Proves How Easy it is to Dress Up Actors as War VictimsBy Tony Cartalucci Above Image: This is not Aleppo, Syria, but rather the streets of Europe where a recent save Aleppo protest was staged. Actors posing in fake dust and blood proved just how easy it is for anyone to create war victims anytime, anywhere. The stalling talks between international powers on Syria with Russia ramping up its air raid campaign has ignited worldwide protests calling for an end to the horror in Aleppo. Protestors in Turkey, France, Netherlands, America and Canada took to the streets opposing Bashar al-Assads and Russias crimes in Aleppo, carrying posters that read Stop bombing Aleppo and Save Aleppo. Al Arabiyas ironic hand-wringing over Syria as Riyadh devastates Yemen with its own aerial bombardment and ground incursion, attempts to portray eastern Aleppo as a horrific cauldron where more than 250,000 civilians are trapped without food or clean water. And while undoubtedly war is raging in eastern Aleppo, it should be noted that the vast majority of Aleppos population 1.75 million in fact live in the government-controlled majority of Aleppo. But despite this reality, the West and its allies including Saudi Arabia have attempted to use their sway over international public opinion to exaggerate Syrian security operations and fabricate a humanitarian catastrophe to serve as yet another pretext for wider Western intervention. Central to this appeal to public opinion has been the so-called White Helmets, also referred to as the Syrian Civil Defence despite the nation of Syria already having a legitimate, professional civil defense force. Posing as an impartial rescue force, the White Helmets are transparently auxiliaries serving exclusively side-by-side armed militants including US State Department, UN, and EU designated foreign terrorist organizations. Their primary function is not rescuing anyone, but to manage a public relations campaign aimed at swaying public and political opinion, leveraging humanitarian sympathy worldwide. Their primary means of doing this is publishing photos and videos of their members wearing elaborate, matching uniforms and driving brand new ambulances pulling dust and blood covered victims from rubble allegedly brought down upon them by Syrian and Russian airstrikes. The veracity of their photos, videos, and many claims have never been independently verified, and in many cases, evidence suggests that much of what they present to the public across their extensive, well-funded social media presence has been fabricated. The recent coordinated save Aleppo protests held across Europe and North America, perhaps revealed just how transparently fabricated and fictional the White Helmets work really is. During one protest, photos retweeted by the official White Helmets Twitter account showed actors dressed up as war victims, covered in fake dust and blood, appearing almost indistinguishable from the alleged victims the White Helmets regularly save in Syria. The protest, staged in European streets far from the Syrian conflict, even included children likewise covered in fake dust and blood cradled in the arms of adults, posing with despondent looks upon their faces. Also part of the staged scene were actors dressed like the White Helmets themselves. Image: The only difference between admittedly staged scenes in European streets during a recent save Aleppo protest, and the daily output of the Western created and funded White Helmets acting troupe in Syria is that in Syria, the devastation of war provides a much more convincing set for the actors to perform on. While the acting troupe that organized this protest may have thought they were cleverly bringing the conflict to the streets of Europe to invoke global sympathy for their cause, what they really proved was just how easy it really is for the White Helmets to create war victims anytime, anywhere. In Syria, where years of US-backed violence has left many parts of the country devastated, such staged scenes playing out with the devastation of war as a backdrop become all the much more convincing. With White Helmet videos heavily edited before reaching the public, they are able to create tragic scenes of war, anytime, anywhere even in the streets of Europe thousands of miles away from where Syrian and Russian warplanes are operating. Their primary goal and that of the special interests funding them tens of millions of dollars, is to manipulate the hearts and minds of the global public in support of Western-backed armed militants not save lives nor bring peace to Syria. Tony Cartaluccis articles have appeared on many alternative media websites, including his own at Land Destroyer Report, where this article first appeared, Alternative Thai News Network and LocalOrg. Fortunately, many people are on to this fakery. Great piece, thanks. ive read there are 300 million in employ of george soros thats alot people to pool from to do about anything Theres endless fakery but also a lot real suffering too. Gotta at least give these activists credit for caring enough to stage a protest over the inhumanity of it all even if they dont understand the forces behind it or the endgame(s). Most people only give it a passing thought,. Tony just wrote an article titled how to create a terrorist state, where he passed on a video of an execution. I commented on how I thought it was fake, and now this article. Kinda the same-o-same-o stuff the great and ubiquitous boob tube shows over and over. White Helmetkinda catchy. Maybe the IDF can be called White Phosphorous. We know about Soros financing insurrection wherever it works for him. The problem is we are not the entire voting populace and the Dems are counting on low info voters who look at the last Hillary ad before going to vote. Very good.

3	Modern Cars Can Be Hacked -- Boats and Planes Next?Nicholas West Dr. Kathleen Fisher spoke in 2012 about DARPAs High-Assurance Cyber Military Systems (HACMS) program, making it clear that all modern cars could be vulnerable to hacking and solutions need to be found. Additional concerns are now being raised about the role GPS systems could play in making it possible to hack boats, planes and other GPS-reliant systems. GPS tracking and positioning technology was brought to us by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Apparently, DARPA has done such a good job thoroughly embedding GPS into military applications, as well as permitting it to trickle down to civilian devices, that it has permeated nearly all of modern life. As stated by Arati Prabhakar, head of DARPA, sometimes a capability is so powerful that our reliance on it, in itself, becomes a vulnerability. About a year ago, Todd Humphreys and his team from the University of Texas called GPS navigation into serious question. Using just a few simple pieces of equipment, a roughly $3,000 investment dwarfed by what cyber-criminals often invest in hardware, they were able to steer a small drone badly off course. It was a blunt instrument, just capable of messing with the drones sense of direction and, potentially, sending it careening into the ground. The demonstration was so worrying that Humphreys soon found himself testifying before Congress, and sitting in meetings with everyone from the FAA to the Pentagon. The same hole used to exploit GPS to down the drone still exists, and Humphreys team has upped their game by further improving their capability to interfere with GPS: This week, they boarded a 210-foot super-yacht by the name of White Rose of the Drachs and used the exact same techniqueto leave its captain and crew stunned and helpless. All you have to do is introduce a signal stronger than the one generated by these satellites. With just a laptop, a small antenna, and a GPS spoofing device, the team fed a stronger signal to the yachts steering system than the genuine one, incoming from actual GPS satellites This is an insidious form of attack because the ships navigation technology will continue to report that the ship is both on course and precisely where it is supposed to be even if neither of those things is true The team was able to steer the ship to port or starboard at will, and the crew was totally unaware that anything was wrong. Captain Andrew Schofield told Fox News he was gobsmacked, when he found out what had been done to his ship, as was the entire deck team. His $80 million baby could have easily been run into a sandbar or reef This spoofing attack undermines the trust these professionals put in their navigation systems. Even slightly interfering with a large amount of sea traffic could hamper trading ports, and potentially throw a wrench into large-scale economies. The threat extends to any type of transportation that uses GPS, which of course includes planes. The same type of attack could be used to steer a plane, or planes, off course, causing mid-air collisions or worse. However, at least with boats and planes there is a possible human override. Not so with unmanned systems. In fact, drones already have been revealed as open to hackingand viruses, as Dr. Kathleen Fisher also confirmed in the video above,but apparently Congress is not sufficiently concerned to thwart theentrance of drones to American skies by 2015. Beyond drones, what about GPS-directed munitions? These are the scenarios that become worrisome at a whole different level. The world has apparently become so dependent on GPS, that mega defense contractor, Raytheon, offers the following infographic Imagine The World Without GPS to illustrate the comprehensive concern: 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) [Source] The official DARPA press release entitled, Extreme Miniaturization: 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 have marked the world is severely compromised. And, naturally, it is that waste of money that requires us to throw more money into the solution, even as they supposedly could not have envisioned the threat from the beginning. 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 on the cheap are to be believed, this would not be a smart announcement to make. It is almost certain that we will be increasingly subjected to potential scenarios designed to convince us that every bad actor from North Korea to Anonymous to any common low-rent terrorist is set to bring down planes, the economy, and whatever else will get us to welcome the latest round of ubiquitous surveillance and tracking technology.

3	What is the CDC whistleblowers strategy now?Jon Rappoport Congressman Bill Posey has many (thousands?) of pages of vaccine documents Thompson has sent him. Poseys (qualified?) staff are going through them now. Posey doesnt, however, have a great deal of clout in the House. Can he gain support for a hearing? If it occurs, it could take place after the first of the year. Earlier, say November, would be a bad time for garnering much press attention. I would be happy to write the conclusions of a hearing right now: On the subject of the 2004 MMR-vaccine study, about which co-author Thompson has admitted fraud: Reasonable scientists can agree and disagree on research methods. The other co-authors of the 2004 study disagree with Dr. Thompsons views. They believe the data were analyzed fairly. The omitted data lacked usefulness and reliability, for purposes of the study. On the general subject of vaccines causing autism: The studies have already been done. Despite some misguided objections, the conclusion is clear. There is no vaccine-autism connection. End of hearing. For that reason, waiting and hoping and planning for a day in the sun is an ineffective strategy. Unlesswhistleblower Thompson is ready to take the stand and assert, with great conviction, that a whole array of fraud at the CDC exists, with respect to vaccine research. Hell have to name names and make very serious accusations and present himself as a highly knowledgeable insider. No wishy-washy nonsense. No hedging his bets. No remote balanced posturing of the typical scientist. So far, I see no signs that Thompson is prepared to put the CDC, where he still works, through the ringer. The one possible advantage of a hearing? Many revealing documents can be entered into the record, and attorneys can draw on them to file a class-action suit, on behalf of parents of autistic, vaccine-damaged children, against the CDC. However, as Ive written before, why wait? Why dont Brian Hooker, Congressman Posey, Andrew Wakefield, and possibly others dump all their Thompson documents online now? If those docs are truly explosive, put them out there. In case you havent noticed, the whole whistleblower story is losing momentum. Forget the mainstream media blackout, which continues. Even alternative news sites are moving on. And why shouldnt they? They have nothing new to report. Do you really think a hearing is going to spur mainstream news networks to characterize the Thompson affair as a major scandal? Closer to home, Thompsons strategy is opaque. Hes retained the services of a well-known whistleblower lawyer, Rick Morgan. Morgan specializes in qui tam filings. Qui tam is a process by which an employee of a government contractor exposes misdeeds of his own company, thereby saving the government money that has been wasted. The employee can gain 15-30% of the assessed damages. But the law is cloudy when the qui tam whistleblower is an employee of the government, not a company: A much maligned and controversial group are former and current federal employees who file qui tam actions. The Act, as amended in 1986, does not exclude federal employees from being a relator [quit tam filer]. However, when a federal employee does file a qui tam action, it results in considerable controversy and numerous court challenges as to whether the employee, due to his or her responsibilities, are obligated to disclose the fraud. The courts have been mixed on whether a federal employee has standing under The Act, but, generally, rule against the relator, and the Justice Department remains hostile toward this type of relator. Concerns have been raised as to whether a federal employee filing an action presents a type of conflict of interest. (The Bauman and Rasor Group, a whistleblower advocacy and assistance organization) Perhaps Thompsons lawyer has put together an innovative strategy for a qui tam filing, and is using the threat of such action as a barrier against the CDC punishing his client. The lawyer isnt talking and neither is Thompson. As Ive detailed in past articles, it appears that Thompson has enough insider knowledge to send a highly destructive torpedo into the center of the CDC. He and the CDC are playing nice with each other. On the surface. However, the entire vaccine establishment, including the CDC, understands that Thompson represents a distinct threat. From their point of view, he has to be neutralized, discredited, or eliminated. Publicly, Thompson is assuring one and all that he has no intention of attacking the hand that feeds him. So what kind of witness would he make in front of a Congressional hearing? Would he echo remarks he made on phone callswhich, he alleges, were recorded without his knowledge or permissionduring which he launched a passionate attack on vaccines containing mercury? Or would he retreat to his public positionreasonable scientists can agree and disagree, questions about vaccines remain to be explored, and one subset of data from one study was wrongly omitted. Which Thompson would show up in front of a Congressional committee? Im not betting on the phone-call Thompson.

2	County In Georgia Just Took THIS Massive Stand For The Confederate Flag According to recent reports, officials in Marion County, Georgia just voted unanimously to return the Confederate flag to the government offices in Ocala. The flag was removed at the end of last week and replaced with a flag with the Marion County seal, following the Charleston shooting massacre that resulted in the death of nine black men and women. Ever since the tragic incident took place, the Confederate flag has come under fire, with liberals painting it as a symbol of hatred and racism. Southerners have stood by the flag, claiming that it is part of their history and represents only Southern pride. Amidst the controversy, Marion Countys interim county administrator, Bill Kauffman, consulted with county Commission Chairman Stan McClain and the pair decided to remove the flag. Within minutes of the vote, the flag was returned. What do you think of Marion Countys decision to stand behind the flag? 
3	U.S. Judiciary Ethics Spotlighted by Newly Introduced Congressional BillCatherine J. Frompovich According to the Complaint of Judicial Misconduct, both justices apparently violated Canon 4(c) of the Code of Conduct because a judge should not personally participate in fund-raising activities, solicit funds for any organization, or use or permit the use of the prestige of judicial office for that purpose. [3] Perhaps such conduct by judges may have been overlooked in the past; however, in these unusual days of near all-time low ratings for any political body in authority within the Capitol Beltway, Congresswoman Slaughter just may want to raise the accountability bar. And, there may be no better government institution to start with than the judicial system. The Gallup Poll taken in July 2013 found the U.S. Supreme Court approval rating is near an all-time low, i.e., 46 percent. Sad, isnt that? She also introduced a bill into the Congressional hopper, H.R.2902 Supreme Court Ethics Act of 2013 that is to apply a code of ethics to Justices who sit on the Supreme Court of the United States, being mindful of their preeminence in the Federal judiciary. [7] Apparently, other members of Congress also are hearing drumbeats foreboding Election Day doom. H.R. 2902 currently has 58 cosponsors. That bill still can work its way around Congress for another year. It will be interesting to see how many cosponsors it finally winds up with. Maybe readers would like to ask your members of Congress to cosponsor H.R. 2902. Heres how to contact any member of Congress. http://www.contactingthecongress.org/ In addition to all the above, Congresswoman Slaughter has a petition to Hold Justice Clarence Thomas Accountable for Defying the Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges, which you also may want to sign. When I checked last, the petition had over 140,000 signatures! What is that saying? Taxpayers, consumers, citizens finally are getting a sense of whats going on in Washington, DC, and they want accountability. Lets hope it doesnt stop with the judiciary, as there is great need for accountability at all levels of the current government and administration. Wouldnt you agree? Congresswoman Slaughter isnt barking up just any old tree; shes barking up the judiciarys trees! There is a Code of Conduct for United States Judges [8] that clearly itemizes what is expected from judges. The trouble is, similar to whats going on in most of Washingtons inner circles anymore, everyone thinks he or she is above the law, ethics, and transparency. That apparent lawless ideology at very high levels now is hearing checkmate. In the board game of chess, checkmate refers to the players king piece being attacked directly by the opposing side, threatened, and the game usually is over if the king piece cannot make a legal move. Its going to be interesting to see how this game plays out, and if there will be other accountability games taken up, especially if Congress has the intestinal fortitude to use its oversight powers and not cave to intimidation, lobbying forces, or media controllers. Congress can do it! The U.S. Constitution empowers Congress! However, there are two questions that need to be asked: You can redeem yourselves. Just listen to We, the People!

2	Family Research Council Watchmen Speak On Threat Of Radical Islam [VIDEO] According to recent reports, Brigitte Gabriel, president and founder of ACT for America, recently spoke out at the Family Research Councils Watchmen on the Wall event. The topic for discussion was the current threat of radical Islam. During her speech, Gabriel revealed some shocking information about the Muslim Brotherhoods plan for the destruction of the United States and all Western civilization. We already know that the Muslim Brotherhood has created numerous organizations throughout the world. These organizations include al Qaeda, Hamas, and several other organizations that are currently operating in the United States. What do you think? Does the Brotherhood need to be stopped? Are they a criminal group? 
3	Vermont Senate Overwhelmingly Votes for GMO LabelingHeather Callaghan Senate President Pro Tempore John Campbell, D-Windsor said: On Tuesday, the Vermont Senate cast its votes for a bill that would require GMO labels on food products. Campbell and other bill supporters believe the bill is legally airtight. Nevertheless, they carved out a fund for legalities, such as if food producers who are sure to dislike the bill decide to sue. A vote of 26-2, however, demonstrates a great desire from the Senate and its constituents for labels bearing GMO knowledge, beginning in July 2016. Other states like Connecticut and Maine passed laws; but, similar to Vermont, are delaying implementing until more states join in to allow time and protection from being sued. In case you were wondering why labeling efforts take so long once they pass. When Sen. David Zuckerman, P/D-Chittenden introduced the bill on the floor, he noted questionable safety of GMO foods because the FDA relies on testing done by biotech companies and food producers not independent, impartial sources. The two opposing voters mainly expressed concerns of legal expenses, noting the time they had trouble after requiring milk labels telling consumers about bovine growth hormones. Senators on the fence were persuaded by Vermont residents who expressed a desire to have more food transparency and flooded them with emails and calls. Consumer polls and surveys have shown that the majority of Americans would rather have GMOs listed on the label, than not. Also a concern, is that 60 other countries have either enacted GMO bans or labeling laws and GMOs appear in the vast majority of store foods, as they dominate North American soy, corn and canola crops. Some farmers were upset because they view the label as pointless, saying, This labeling bill will not tell them anything other than GMO something. But also view it as a way to alarm consumers, fail to educate them and claim the nutritional value is the same. Well, Sen. Joe Benning, R-Caledonia, took that same argument and turned it on its head, saying a label can inform people how many carbohydrates there are without declaring that they are evil. He added: And hed be right if you consider the amount of people who wish to exclude GMOs for allergenic, immune system and inflammation concerns. Since independent testing of patented crops is nearly impossible to gain permission to do, groups like the Institute for Responsible Technology have demonstrated information from doctors and dietitians reporting disease reversal for their patients who completely remove GMOs from their diets. State initiatives like these and around 20 others may fall prey to a new federal bill just introduced, that could banish all state efforts to label GMOs. The Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2014 is being called the DARK Act by opponents because it would ban state measures to label and defer to the FDA who relies solely on the word of Big Biotech.

1	Twenty-six years after Ronald Reagan first set his controversial fiscal policies into motion, the deceased president's massive tax cuts for the ultrarich at last trickled all the way down to deliver their bounty, in the form of a $10 bonus, to Hazelwood, MO car-wash attendant Frank Kellener. The late President Ronald Reagan clearly had people like present-day car wash attendant Frank Kellener in mind when articulating his 'trickle-down' economic theory in the early 1980s. 'Back when Reagan was in charge, I didn't think much of him,' Kellener, 57, said, holding up two five-dollar bills nearly three decades in the making. 'But who would have thought that in 2007 I'd have this extra $10 in my pocket? He may not have lived to see it, but I'm sure President Reagan is up in heaven smiling down on me right now.' Leading economists say Kellener's unexpected windfall provides the first irrefutable proof of the effectiveness of Reagan's so-called supply-side economics, and shows that the former president had 'incredible, far-reaching foresight.' 'When the tax burden on the upper income brackets is lifted, the rich and not-rich alike all benefit,' said Arthur Laffer, who was a former member of Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board. 'Eventually.' Frank Kellener The $10 began its long journey into Kellener's wallet in 1983, when a beefed-up national defense budget of $210 billion enabled the military to purchase advanced warhead-delivery systems from aerospace manufacturer Lockheed. Buoyed by a multimillion-dollar bonus, then-CEO Martin Lawler bought a house on a 5,000-acre plot in Montana. When a forest fire destroyed his home in 1986, Lawler took the federal relief check and invested it in a savings and loan run by a Virginia man named Michael Webber. After Webber's firm collapsed in 1989, and he was indicted on fraud and conspiracy charges, he retained the services of high- powered law firm Rabin & Levy for his defense. After six years and $7 million in legal fees, Webber received only a $250,000 fine, and the defense team went out to celebrate at a Washington, D.C.-area restaurant called Di Forenza. During dinner, lawyer Peter Smith overheard several investment bankers at an adjoining table discussing a hot Internet start-up that was about to go public. Smith took a portion of his earnings from the Webber case and bought several hundred shares in Gadgets.com, quadrupling his investment before selling them four months later. Gadgets.com's two founders used the sudden influx of investment capital to outfit their office with modern Danish furniture, in a sale brokered by the New York gallery Modern Now! in 1998. After the ensuing dot-com bust, Modern Now! was forced out of business, and Sotheby's auction house was put in charge of liquidating its inventory. The commission from that auction enabled auctioneer Mary Schafer to retire to the Ozark region of Missouri in 2006. Last month, while passing through Hazelwood, she took her Audi to Marlin Car Wash, where Kellener was one of the employees who tended to her car. She was so satisfied with the job that she left a $50 tip, which the manager divided among the people working that day. 'This money didn't just affect one life,' Laffer said. 'It affected five.' Prior to joining Marlin Car Wash in 2005, Kellener worked for nearly two decades at a local Ford assembly plant that is now defunct. Before that, he was employed by the FAA as an air traffic controller until his union went on strike and Reagan fired him, along with nearly 13,000 others. This is the largest tip he has received in his professional life. 'I thought Reaganomics was nothing more than a mirage that allowed President Reagan to reward his wealthy support base,' Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA) said. 'But two generations later I am seeing Reaganomics in action, and I like what I see. It just took a little longer than I thought it was supposed to.' The tip has not gone unnoticed by the economic team in the current administration. 'Had Mr. Kellener received that money in 1981, like the Democrats wanted, it would only be worth $4.24 today because of inflation,' Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson, Jr. said during an official announcement of the economic policy's success at a press conference Monday. 'Instead, Kellener has a solid $10 to spend right here and now. The system works, and our current president intends to keep making it work.' Kellener, who has cared for his schizophrenic sister ever since her federally funded mental institution was closed in 1984, said that he plans to donate the full $10 to the Republican presidential candidate who best embodies Reagan's legacy. 
3	Were All Bradley ManningStephen Lendman Post-9/11, its been on the chopping block for elimination. Convicting Manning of anything compromises what is too important to lose. He deserves praise, not prosecution. His fate is ours. Thats whats fundamentally at stake. Everyone stands to win or lose with him. In his February plea statement, he said he wanted to spark a domestic debate on the role of the military and our foreign policy in general as it related to Iraq and Afghanistan. Americans have a right to know the true costs of war, he stressed. He called war logs given WikiLeaks some of the most important documents of our time. He chose ones he believed wouldnt cause harm to the United States. Washingtons obsessed with capturing and killing people, he said. He was sickened by the Collateral Murder video he saw. US helicopter pilots gunned down innocent civilians. They murdered anyone trying to help them. Manning called doing so bloodlust. He exposed lawlessness. He reflects justifiable resistance. Francis Boyle calls it our Nuremberg moment US government officials are the outlaws, he says. Marjorie Cohn calls Mannings heroism uncommon courage. He fulfilled his legal duty to report war crimes, she said. Enshrined in the US Army Subject Schedule No. 27-1 is the obligation to report all violations of the law of war. FMs paragraph 498 says any person, military or civilian, who commits a crime under international law is responsible for it and may be punished. Paragraph 499 defines a war crime. Every violation of the law of war is a war crime, it states. Paragraph 500 refers to a conspiracy, attempts to commit it, and complicity with respect to international crimes. Paragraph 509 denies the defense of superior orders in the commission of a crime. Paragraph 510 denies the defense of an act of state to absolve them. These provisions apply to all US military and civilian personnel. No ones exempt throughout the military and civilian chain of command up to where the buck stops. Under the Constitutions Supremacy Clause (Article VI, paragraph 2), all international laws and treaties are the supreme Law of the Land. Failure to uphold it defines lawlessness. Howard Zinn called dissent the highest form of patriotism. So is exposing crimes too grave to ignore. Crimes of war, against humanity and genocide demand disclosure. Manning was legally obligated to reveal them. He acted legally and responsibly. Prosecuting him for doing so mocks rule of law justice. It makes it a four-letter word. Manning faces 22 charges. He pleaded guilty to 10 lesser ones. He denied 12 greater ones. Most serious is aiding the enemy. Doing so is treason. Its a capital offense. Its separate from the main accusation against him. Hes charged with leaking classified information to people unauthorized to receive it. The ACLU says doing so raises enormous problems. Convicting him under these circumstances would be unconstitutional. At issue is posting alleged intelligence information online. Prosecutors say doing so aids Al Qaeda. They dont claim Manning did so intentionally or intended to. They claim he indirectly did because documents he supplied appeared on WikiLeaks web site. Anyone can access it. So can Al Qaeda. Manning, they say, knew that. They charged him with violating Article 104 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). It states that any person who gives intelligence to or communicates or corresponds with or holds any intercourse with the enemy, either directly or indirectly; shall suffer death or such other punishment as a court-martial or military commission may direct. Article 104 isnt limited to sensitive or classified information. It prohibits all unauthorized communications or contacts with the enemy direct or indirect. The implications of the governments argument are breathtaking, says ACLU. Everyone is potentially vulnerable. Included are whistleblowers, journalists doing their job, sources they use, editors they report to, lawyers they consult, others advising them, anti-war activists, bloggers, and anyone challenging government policies. Free expression, the press and other fundamental freedoms are threatened. At perhaps the most perilous time in world history, exposing vital truths becomes more urgent than ever. Suppressing them by intimidation and prosecutions prevents doing so. Sunshine is the best disinfectant. Fundamental freedoms are threatened. Post-9/11, theyve been gravely compromised. Mannings trial reflects Washingtons attempt to eviscerate them further. Free expression is fundamental. Without it all other rights are endangered. Obamas waging war to destroy it. Hes targeted more whistleblowers than all his predecessors combined. Hes done so throughout his tenure. He acts without justification. He governs lawlessly, repressively and secretly. Openness and transparency are verboten. Secrecy defines his administration. It reflects Mannings trial. The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) challenged it. On April 17, it headlined Press and Public Denied Access to Documents in Bradley Manning Case, saying: Today, the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (CAAF) rejected claims in a lawsuit by the Center for Constitutional Rights challenging government secrecy around Mannings court martial. CCR sued on behalf of journalists. At issue is the publics right to know. They challenged the fact that important legal matters in the pre-trial proceedings have been argued and decided in secret. The court rejected the claims on the grounds that military appellate courts lack jurisdiction to address the scope of public access until a trial is over and the sentence has been issued. The decision was 3-to-2, issued over two vigorous dissents. CCR senior attorney Shayana Kadidal argued the case. Todays decision flies in the face of decades of First Amendment rulings in the federal courts that hold that openness affects outcome that the accuracy of court proceedings depends on their being open, she said. Bradley Mannings trial will now take place under conditions where journalists and the public will be unable as a practical matter to follow what is going on in the courtroom. That ensures that any verdict will be fundamentally unfair, and will generate needless appeals afterwards if he is convicted. Dissenting judges said this decision leaves collateral appeal to (civilian) courts as the sole mechanism to vindicate the right to a public trial beyond the initial good judgment of the military judge. This is unworkable and cannot reflect congressional design or presidential intent. On May 22, CCR headlined Constitutional Rights Attorneys, Media Challenge Secrecy of Manning Court Martial in Civilian Court. CCR filed a complaint and motion for preliminary injunction. It did so in Baltimore federal district court. It challenged government secrecy. Maintaining it spurns the publics right to know. CCRs Kadidal called civilian courts the last option. If this lawsuit fails, she said, secrecy will triumph over openness. Journalists and others wont have access they deserve. On Mannings trial day one (June 3), CCR reported Still no meaningful access. Denying it makes proceedings farcical. Unsurprisingly, the court has refused to set aside two dedicated seats for the crowd-sourced stenographers the public and press have raised the funds to pay. Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) campaigned for permission. FPF said trial judge Colonel Denise Lind granted the right to stenographically transcribe the trial from the media room. However, no press passes were issued. The military media desk stonewalled FPFs request. On June 3, one FPF stenographer got access. A borrowed press pass was used. Transcribing proceedings requires full access. Two stenographers are needed. The process is too grueling for one. All the opinions that had been released via FOIA a few weeks ago have now inexplicably been taken down from the site. The publics right to full disclosure is seriously compromised. Obama wants proceedings as opaque and inaccessible as possible. The Reporters Committee on Freedom of the Press will be filing an amicus brief this week in the new Center for Constitutional Rights federal case challenging the publics lack of meaningful access to the trial and trial documents. Oral argument in that case will be in two weeks, on June 17. From the day Manning was arrested, the entire process against him has been fundamentally flawed and illegitimate. It reflects the worst of police state justice. Mannings fate is sealed. Obamas crush(ing) him. At issue is intimidating and terrorizing anyone daring to reveal information that Washington wants kept secret. CCR president emeritus Michael Ratner believes Mannings trial will last 12 16 weeks. Much will go on secretly. Prosecutors plan on about 150 witnesses. Twenty-eight will give secret testimony 24 partly, four completely. Doing so is outrageous. According to Ratner, theyll discuss uploaded WikiLeaks documents. Theyll include information Manning provided. Theyre available online. Anyone can access them. Washington considers them classified and secret. They wont be openly discussed or shown in court. Its part of prosecutorial secrecy. It mocks judicial fairness. Ratner calls Mannings trial one of the most punitive in US history. Its one of the most secret. Its one of the most unfair. Its unconscionable. Imagine, said Ratner, war criminals remain unaccountable. Truth-telling is on trial. Manning should be honored, not prosecuted. Justice is egregiously denied. Convicting him will be used against Julian Assange. Washington wants him extradited to America. Reports suggest a sealed indictment awaits him. If hes brought here, hell be imprisoned and never heard from again, said Ratner. Secrecy prevents judicial fairness. It flouts democratic principles. America never was beautiful. Its never been a democracy. For sure its not one now. Mannings trial represents the worst of police state justice. It reflects deplorable deplorable judicial unfairness. It reveals tyranny up close and personal. It shows what everyones up against. Theres no place to hide. A Final Comment His opening statement stressed Mannings humanism. Hes not your typical soldier, he said. He wore customized dog tags that read humanist. He strove to help his unit, wanting everyone to come safely every day, but he wanted the locals to go home safely every day too. He wanted to make a difference and tried. He believed information too important to conceal should be made public. He felt obligated to do so. Exposing wrongdoing is fundamental. Doing the right thing is its own reward. Testimonies began after lunch. Many more trial days remain. Pre-trial, Obama pronounced Manning guilty by accusation. He said so publicly. He sealed Mannings fate. What military or civilian judge would dare overrule the president and commander in chief? Whod have the chutzpah to do so? How harsh the verdict will be remains to be seen. Prosecutors ruled out the death penalty. Decades in prison or life seems likely. By August or September well know. America reaches for new depths. Responsible officials deserve eternal hell. They deserve a lower level Dante forgot. Nations that punish their best lose all legitimacy. Doing so shows what were all up against.

3	US Policy Vs. Syria Indicative of Exhausted LegitimacyTony Cartalucci The Obama administration will provide food and medicine to Syrian rebel fighters, Secretary of State John F. Kerry said Thursday, announcing a cautious U.S. foray into front-line battlefield support that falls far short of the heavy weapons or high-tech gear the rebels seek. The stakes are really high, and we cant risk letting this country in the heart of the Middle East be destroyed by vicious autocrats or hijacked by the extremists, Kerry said following discussions among a group of Western and Arab nations that are funding, and in some cases arming, the fighters. The United States will, for the first time, send supplies through the rebels central military headquarters, with U.S. advisers supervising the distribution of food rations and medical supplies, U.S. officials said. The shift is intended to give the U.S.-backed Syrian Opposition Coalition greater say over the aid, but it is also a test of the rebels ability to keep donated supplies out of the hands of extremists in their midst. The Washington Post report is a verified lie. US assistance, cash, weapons, and covert military support had been ongoing in Syria since 2007 in other words before the current conflict even began. And the US has been providing this support not for moderates, but specifically and intentionally for the ideological foundation of Al Qaeda itself, the sectarian extremist Muslim Brotherhood, since the Bush administration. Outright admissions by administration officials, Saudi and Lebanese officials working in tandem with the US, and US intelligence agents have outlined a criminal conspiracy that has now transcended two presidencies and provided the clearest example yet of the corporate-financier driven continuity of agenda that truly guides Western foreign policy. This criminal conspiracy has also incurred a staggering list of egregious crimes against humanity, crimes we are reminded of daily by the very interests responsible for them, including the 70,000 alleged dead in the Syrian conflict so far. Secretary John Kerrys Narrative is a Verified Lie Pulitizer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh, in his 2007 New Yorker report titled, The Redirection: Is the Administrations new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism? stated explicitly that: 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. Hershs report would also include: the Saudi government, with Washingtons approval, would provide funds and logistical aid to weaken the government of President Bashir Assad, of Syria. The Israelis believe that putting such pressure on the Assad government will make it more conciliatory and open to negotiations. Hersh also reported that a supporter of the Lebanese pro-US-Saudi Hariri faction had met Dick Cheney in Washington and relayed personally the importance of using the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria in any move against the ruling government: [Walid] 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. The article would continue by explaining how already in 2007 US and Saudi backing had begun benefiting the Brotherhood: There is evidence that the Administrations redirection strategy has already benefitted the Brotherhood. The Syrian National Salvation Front is a coalition of opposition groups whose principal members are a faction led by Abdul Halim Khaddam, a former Syrian Vice-President who defected in 2005, and the Brotherhood. A former high-ranking C.I.A. officer told me, The Americans have provided both political and financial support. The Saudis are taking the lead with financial support, but there is American involvement. He said that Khaddam, who now lives in Paris, was getting money from Saudi Arabia, with the knowledge of the White House. (In 2005, a delegation of the Fronts members met with officials from the National Security Council, according to press reports.) A former White House official told me that the Saudis had provided members of the Front with travel documents. At one point in Hershs report, it is even admitted that officials from US ally Saudi Arabia admitted to controlling the religious fundamentalists. The report states specifically: [Saudi Arabias] Bandar and other Saudis have assured the White House that they will keep a very close eye on the religious fundamentalists. Their message to us was Weve created this movement, and we can control it. Its not that we dont want the Salafis to throw bombs; itswho theythrow them atHezbollah, Moqtada al-Sadr, Iran, and at the Syrians, if they continue to work with Hezbollah and Iran. While Kerry, as did Clinton before him, and others throughout the Western establishment attempt to portray the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood, and its armed front, Al Qaeda, in Syria as an unforeseeable, unfortunate consequence of an equally unforeseeable, unfortunate conflict it is clear that in 2007, such consequences were essential elements of a premeditated conflict the West had poured cash, weapons, and logistics into the creation of, along with its partners in the Middle East, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. Also in 2007, the Wall Street Journal would publish a report titled, To Check Syria, U.S. Explores Bond With Muslim Brothers. In this report, it was revealed that even in 2007, Syrian opposition groups were being created from whole-cloth by the US State Department and paraded around in front of Syrias embassies in the West. The article begins with one such protest, stating: On a humid afternoon in late May, about 100 supporters of Syrias largest exile opposition group, the National Salvation Front, gathered outside Damascuss embassy here to protest Syrian President Bashar Assads rule. The participants shouted anti-Assad slogans and raised banners proclaiming: Change the Regime Now. Later in the article, it would be revealed that the National Salvation Front (NSF) was in contact with the US State Department and that a Washington-based consulting firm in fact assisted the NSF in organizing the rally: In the weeks before the presidential election, the State Departments Middle East Partnership Initiative, which promotes regional democracy, and NSF members met to talk about publicizing Syrias lack of democracy and low voter turnout, participants say. A Washington-based consulting firm, CO Resources Inc., assisted the NSF in its planning for the May 26 anti-Assad rally at the Syrian embassy, providing media and political contacts. State Department officials stress they provided no financial or technical support to the protestors. And while the Wall Street Journal then, just as the US State Department and the Western media houses are now portraying the Syrian opposition as representing a wide range of interests across Syrian society, it was admitted then, just as it is plainly obvious now, that the sectarian extremist Muslim Brotherhood was in fact at the very center of the uprising: One of the NSFs most influential members is the Syrian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood the decades-old political movement active across the Middle East whose leaders have inspired the terrorist groups Hamas and al Qaeda. Its Syrian offshoot says it has renounced armed struggle in favor of democratic reform. Absurdity of Kerrys Narrative Only Outdone by Proposed Solution The goal of the new money is to counter the increasingly effective network of services provided by militants. Unfortunately, the so-called Syrian Opposition Coalition handcrafted by the US, and founded in Doha, Qatar, is led by an extremist, Mouaz al-Khatib, who openly embraces Al Qaedas al-Nusra front in Syria, credited with some of the most heinous atrocities committed during the 2 year conflict, as well as systematic abuse, oppression, and subjugation in all areas along Syrias border with NATO-member Turkey it controls. In late 2012, al-Khatib demanded that the US reverse its decision to list al-Nusra as a foreign terrorist organization. Reuters quoted al-Khatib as saying: The decision to consider a party that is fighting the regime as a terrorist party needs to be reviewed. We might disagree with some parties and their ideas and their political and ideological vision. But we affirm that all the guns of the rebels are aimed at overthrowing the tyrannical criminal regime. The more recent Washington Post article, in fact, reaffirms al-Khatibs support for extremists groups, stating: Coalition chairman Mouaz al-Khatib angrily appealed for a humanitarian corridor to the besieged city of Homs and said the rebels are tired of Western complaints about extremists in their ranks. He argued that the real enemy is the Assad regime but said too many outsiders are worried only about the length of a beard of a fighter. No terrorists in the world have such a savage nature as those in the regime, Khatib said in Arabic. The Syrian opposition leaders finger-jabbing anger was in marked contrast to Kerrys clipped and measured tone. Kerry looked at Khatib without expression as the Syrian spoke. And yet this US-created opposition movement, run by a leader openly embracing and defending Al Qaeda, will be the recipient of some $60 million in non-lethal aid and training to allegedly undermine Al Qaeda. The Washington Post indicated that France and the UK were even considering sending armored vehicles to the openly pro-Al Qaeda front. The face-value absurdity of current Western foreign policy in the wake of a decade-long War on Terror that has left it bankrupt, thousands of its soldiers dead, tens of thousands more maimed or mentally ill, is perhaps so profoundly acute, it is hoped it is easier to instead believe US Secretary of State John Kerrys repeated lies. And astonishingly, even as French soldiers die fighting militants in Mali armed, trained, and funded by NATOs similar intervention in Libya in 2011, and allegedly still funded and armed by US, UK, and French ally Qatar theWashington Post article indicates France will be eagerly making the same mistake in Syria, and will be further assisting terrorists there, including the training of rebel forces outside Syria. Nations existing outside the Wests unraveling international enterprise would do best to continue resisting, and increasingly condemning the overt state-sponsorship of terrorism that is destroying Syria. For the rest of us, we must identify the corporate-financier interests driving this agenda interests we most likely patronize on a daily basis, and both boycott and permanently replace them to erode the unwarranted influence they have used to both plan and execute this assault on Syrias people. 
1	As baseball continues to die a slow, strangled death across the country, many are correctly wondering if women's gymnastics has finally taken its rightful place atop the athletic consciousness of the nation. 'As I was watching a baseball contest between my favorite team and its top rival, I felt a persistent emptiness that only lifted when I changed the channel to the delicate grace and power of Cheng Fei's uneven bars routine,' said American resident Brian Johnson, bedecked in a Chinese women's gymnastics warm-up jacket and Cheng Fei replica jersey. Added Eastern American city resident Fred Smith, 'Baseball is the national pastime of a dying nation. Now when there is a bright, sunny summer day, the only thing I desire is to take my son into the gymnasium to watch Deng Linlin take some practice vaults or get He Kexin's signature on a rosin bag. I have already burned by childhood mitt and my collection of bats. Baseball is a fleeting memory.' The entire country is also steadfastly agreed that Shawn Johnson is an ungainly lumbering musk ox and American women's gymnastics remains worthless. 
2	FBI Investigation Of Hillary Reveals Worse Than Imagined, The Amount Of Blood On Her Hands... A few weeks ago, the FBI announced that they would be launching a full on investigation of Hillary Clinton in regards to the email scandal she has been wrapped up in for what seems an eternity. It turns out they have uncovered explicit evidence that she not only gave up secret information, but that some of the information related to human source information. It was determined that Hillary had sent information that revealed the identity of an undercover CIA agent. Taken from Red State: Based on the timing and other details, the email chain likely refers to either an October 2009 Times story that identified Afghan national Ahmed Wali Karzai, the half-brother of then-Afghan president Hamid Karzai, as a person who received regular payments from the Central Intelligence Agency or an August 2010 Times story that identified Karzai aide Mohammed Zia Salehi as being on the CIA payroll. Ahmed Wali Karzai was murdered during a 2011 shoot-out, a killing later claimed by the Taliban. This is unbelievable. We knew Hillary had blood on her hands, but thinking and seeing hard facts are two different things. Do you think Hillary should be sent to prison for life?

2	BREAKING: Has Megyn Kelly Been Sent To The Psychiatric Ward? Recently, a story went viral on the internet: Fox News Anchor Megyn Kelly Admitted into the Psychiatric Ward. The story, originally released by Newslo, has been liked over 12,000 times on Facebook. Quickly, it has made its way to other sources around the internet. The story claims that Kelly insisted that Santa Claus is white, and that he should never be depicted as another race. Because of these claims, doctors were said to have examined the anchor, determining that she is suffering from bizarre delusions and obsessiveness. As it turns out, Kelly did insist that Santa Claus is Caucasian. She was not, however, admitted into a psychiatric ward for it. What do you think? Do you support Megyn Kelly? 
3	Assault on GoldPaul Craig Roberts When gold prices hit $1,917.50 an ounce on August 23, 2011, a gain of more than $500 an ounce in less than 8 months, capping a rise over a decade from $272 at the end of December 2000, the Federal Reserve panicked. With the US dollar losing value so rapidly compared to the world standard for money, the Federal Reserves policy of printing $1 trillion annually in order to support the impaired balance sheets of banks and to finance the federal deficit was placed in danger. Who could believe the dollars exchange rate in relation to other currencies when the dollar was collapsing in value in relation to gold and silver. Intelligent people could see that the US government could not afford the long and numerous wars that the neoconservatives were engineering or the loss of tax base and consumer income from offshoring millions of US middle class jobs for the sake of executive bonuses and shareholder capital gains. They could see what was in the cards, and began exiting the dollar for gold and silver. When gold topped $1,900, Washington put out the story that gold was a bubble. The presstitute media fell in line with Washingtons propaganda. Gold looking a bit bubbly declared CNN Money on August 23, 2011. The Federal Reserve used its dependent banks too big to fail to short the precious metals markets. By selling naked shorts in the paper bullion market against the rising demand for physical possession, the Federal Reserve was able to drive the price of gold down to $1,750 and keep it more or less capped there until recently, when a concerted effort on April 2-3, 2013, drove gold down to $1,557 and silver, which had approached $50 per ounce in 2011, down to $27. The Federal Reserve began its April Fools assault on gold by sending the word to brokerage houses, which quickly went out to clients, that hedge funds and other large investors were going to unload their gold positions and that clients should get out of the precious metal market prior to these sales. As this inside information was the governments own strategy, individuals cannot be prosecuted for acting on it. By this operation, the Federal Reserve, a totally corrupt entity, was able to combine individual flight with institutional flight. Bullion prices took a big hit, and bullishness departed from the gold and silver markets. The flow of dollars into bullion, which threatened to become a torrent, was stopped. For now it seems that the Fed has succeeded in creating wariness among Americans about the virtues of gold and silver, and thus the Federal Reserve has extended the time that it can print money to keep the house of cards standing. This time could be short or it could last a couple of years. However, for the Russians and Chinese, whose central banks have more dollars than they any longer want, and for the 1.3 billion Indians in India, the low dollar price for gold that the Federal Reserve has engineered is an opportunity. They see the opportunity that the Federal Reserve has given them to purchase gold at $350-$400 an ounce less than two years ago as a gift. The Federal Reserves attack on bullion is an act of desperation that, when widely recognized, will doom its policy. As I have explained previously, the orchestrated move against gold and silver is to protect the exchange value of the US dollar. If bullion were not a threat, the government would not be attacking it. The Federal Reserve is creating $1 trillion new dollars per year, but the world is moving away from the use of the dollar for international payments and, thus, as reserve currency. The result is an increase in supply and a decrease in demand. This means a falling exchange value of the dollar, domestic inflation from rising import prices, and a rising interest rate and collapsing bond, stock and real estate markets. The Federal Reserves orchestration against bullion cannot ultimately succeed. It is designed to gain time for the Federal Reserve to be able to continue financing the federal budget deficit by printing money and also to keep interest rates low and debt prices high in order to support the banks balance sheets. When the Federal Reserve can no longer print due to dollar decline which printing would make worse, US bank deposits and pensions could be grabbed in order to finance the federal budget deficit for couple of more years. Anything to stave off the final catastrophe. By its obvious and concerted attack on gold and silver, the US government could not give any clearer warning that trouble is approaching. The values of the dollar and of financial assets denominated in dollars are in doubt. Those who believe in government and those who believe in deregulation will be proved equally wrong. The United States of America is past its zenith. As I predicted early in the 21st century, in 20 years the US will be a third world country. We are halfway there.

2	Lindsey Graham Betrays Trump Right Before The Inauguration With Infuriating Demand Lindsey Graham may call himself a Republican, but make no mistakehe intends to backstab Donald Trump at every turn. For weeks now, Barack Obama and the media have been pushing the theory that Russia interfered with the voting process in our election to help Trump win. Now, Graham is scolding everyone who applauded WikiLeaks for releasing information about Hillary Clinton. To my Republican friends who are gleeful, youre making a huge mistake, Graham commented. When WikiLeaks released information during the Bush years about the Iraq War, that was embarrassing to the administrationthat put our troops at riskmost Democrats condemned it, some celebrated it. Most Republicans are condemning what Russia did and to those who are gleeful, youre a political hack. Youre not a Republican and youre not a patriot. When one party is compromised, all of us are compromised, he continued. And heres what Im going to do with Senator McCain: we will introduce sanctions that are bipartisan, that go beyond the sanctions today against Russia, that will hit them in the financial sector and the energy sector, where theyre the weakest. And were going to give President Trump an opportunity to make Russia pay a price for interfering in our election so it will deter others in the future, Graham concluded, before challenging Trump with, I hope you will take advantage of it. What do you think? Is Graham way out of line here or do you agree with him? 
1	U.S. Bureau of Departmental Operations secretary Helen Lastrom, 38, is slated to personalize her workplace, a six-foot square cubicle delineated by three grayish-brown office dividers, in the Bureaus Minneapolis office this week. Her plans include the adornment of the divider, desk and computer monitors outer edges with items intended to brighten the workplace and remind her of friends, good times and family, or just to make her laugh. I enjoy humor, Lastrom said. Lastrom was hired by the Bureau last week after passing civil service test 12E, which increased her rating class and qualified her for one-level caste promotion. Her previous position was with the City Office of Management and Operations Systems. In many ways, her new job will be similar, but Lastrom intends to adorn her workspace differently. Im really excited about this new job, because I think Im going to put my crazy little Mexican puppet with the bobbing head to the left of my phone. According to Lastrom, at her previous job, the Mexican puppet had been situated at the right of her phone. I got this when my girlfriend Pam and I went to Mexico after graduating from correspondence school, she said. We had so much fun in Mexico. I hope I get to go again some day. Lastrom is also slated to hang several humorous posters on her wall, including one depicting her favorite cartoon character, Cathy, tearing her hair out and yelling, I hate Mondays! I can relate to that poster so much, Lastrom said. I look at that poster and its like, I swear thats me. If Lastrom passes her three-month probationary period and is secured for a six-month employment contract at full pay and limited benefits, she indends to personalize her workspace even more. Right now money is really tight. But Id love to buy a little plant, even though Im nowhere near a window. I just love plants. Lastrom also plans to put some word-balloon stickers on some photos she took at her friend Marys wedding and tape them to her desktop. Those photos are so funny, she said. Mary can be such a riot. Lastrom is expected to put a Far Side appointment calendar on her desk within the week. The Far Side is completely off the wall, just like me, Lastrom said. All my friends say Im crazy and really different, just like that cartoon. The television show Saturday Night Live will also provide humor for Lastroms divider walla greeting card featuring Deep Thoughts, by Jack Handey is reportedly in the works. Lastrom also plans to pin up photos of her 3-year-old son, Peter, as well as drawings he made. He is just the most important thing in my life, Lastrom said. I wish I could spend more time with him. Lastrom said she believes anyone who comes into her workspace is destined to be entertained by the decor, which she said perfectly reflects her unique personality. Said Lastrom: Whether its somebody from shipping coming to get a purchase order approved or a packing slip verified, or whether its my boss coming in here to put me through a performance review, they should enjoy their visit. 
2	Muslim NBA Player Refuses To Stand For National Anthem For THIS Disgusting Reason According to recent reports, Dion Waiters, an NBA player for the Cleveland Cavaliers, was noticeably absent while the national anthem was being sun before a game against the Utah Jazz. Waiters claims that he was absent because he is Muslim, and is acting in accordance with his religious beliefs. Religion aside, many fell that it is disturbing that Waiters would shirk the American tradition. Waiters informed the Northeast Ohio Media Group that he has been given special permission to excuse himself prior to the singing. Its because of my religion, Waiters told NEOMG. Thats why I stayed in the locker room. What do you think of Waiters actions? Should he be forced to participate? 
3	The Latest Food Crisis: Food InsecurityKaren De Coster, Contributor A little more than 17 percent of Franklin County residents met the governments definition of food insecure in 2010, which means they didnt always know whether they could put a decent meal on the table. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says the national food-insecurity rate remained relatively unchanged in 2010 at 16.1percent or nearly 49 million people. The notion of food insecurity is a creation of government. Tis the same old story obese Americans are hungry, and they need more food. The story is that children are hungry, rural people are hungry, the seniors are hungry (I thought they ate dog food?), and thus, more public assistance programs are needed. Here is a photo the organization uses to display hungry Americans. These people, like a majority of the poster children for hunger, are fat and undernourished on processed foods and fast foods that are scarcely fit for human consumption. The solution, then, is to give the governments Corporate State-Big Food-Big Agra partners that have played a major role in expanding the obesity crisis such as ConAgra Foods, Kelloggs, Kraft Foods, Nestles, PepsiCo, and General Mills more market power through government redistribution programs to intensify the problem. Surely this crisis of nutritional deprivation hunger can be eradicated through more Lucky Charms, Kraft Mac Cheese, Doritos and Cheetos, frozen waffles, Chef Boyardee ravioli, and 10 for $10 Banquet frozen dinners. Both ConAgra Foods and General Mills are experiencing the pains of commodity inflation and lowering forecasts for 2012 profits. Meanwhile, all of the Big Food powers are poised to grow their market share for snacks, one of the fastest-growing segments for Big Food-Big Agra. An executive for PepsiCo stated: Were maniacally focused about gaining share in all of these segments in 2012. Part of that strategy involves the giganta corporations lobbying for and sponsoring government redistribution programs and quasi-government charity organizations that use government redistribution schemes and taxpayer loot to help grow their market share and product popularity among the segment of people who are most easily fooled and hooked those who are poor, uneducated, and dependent. linkwithin_text=Related Articles:

2	Bernie Sanders Slams Trump For Being Racist, So Trump Responds With THIS Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders tackled the issues of race at a CNN town hall meeting, just days before the South Carolina Democratic primarywhich has a significant number of African-American voters. We have been dealing in the last seven years with an unprecedented level of obstructionism against President Obama, Sanders told the audience. This comes after Clinton accused Sanders of not being sufficiently supportive of the President. Clinton also chimed in the conversation, claiming that there are racial barriers that we need to be honest about. She then went on to ask a group of African-American women in the audience who had supposedly lost their children to police action and random gun violence to stand and be recognized. We have serious challenges and I think it is important for people, and particularly for white people, to be honest about those, Clinton told the audience. Otherwise, we are never going to be the nation we should be, we are never going to overcome our legacy. Lets just take a moment to acknowledge the irony of Hillary Clinton talking about honesty. Clearly, she was attempting to reach African-American voters. Meanwhile, she was busy side-stepping questions about her numerous contributors on Wall Street. We have spent a lot of time talking with voters in the last week about the barriers they felt did impede their getting ahead, Clinton argued. In a similar vein, Bernie spoke of the wonderful people he has met on the trail. If I ever let those people down, it would be a terrible, terrible thing, Bernie concluded. What do you think? Would both of these candidates be a disaster for our country, despite what they say?

The official proposal for the operation calls for a release of the the Dox on the CEOs any and all executives of Goldman Sachs, AIG, Wells Fargo, Chase, Merrill Lynch, and any other guilty party. The goal of Operation Wall Street is to spread the personal information of those responsible for the crimes to the people who have lost their homes and had their lives destroyed. According to links that began appearing on Twitter on March 2nd, Anonymous has already released 4.6 gigabytes of data providing the personal information of Wall Street CEOs and other high level executives. Last week the group calling themselves the Anonymous Intelligence Agency, or Par:AnoIA, released 14 gigabytes of information implicating Bank of America and others in a massive Internet spying operation. Anonymous claims the data dump proves that Bank of America contracted at least one private intelligence firm to spy on numerous private citizens including hackers and social activists. It is no longer tolerable that these men and women get to live in luxury and lawlessness while innocent people are pushed into poverty and people who fight for freedom are prosecuted and demonized. They must be stopped OPERATION WALL STREET, must be launched.

She was voted above Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie and civil rights activist Rosa Parks. She left her biggest impact as the conservative Prime Minister of Britain. She stressed the deregulation and saved the economy, handling the out of control inflation and rising the low wage level. Thatcher continued to be a central figure in Conservative politics until her passing on April 8, 2013. RIP Margaret Thatcher. You were an incredible woman. Is Margaret Thatcher a greater role model for women around the world? 
2	Lieutenant Prevents Obama From Closing Guantanamo Bay For years now, President Obama has been doing everything he can to shut down Guantanamo Bayin spite of Congress disapproval. In the past few months, he has been working even harder to ensure that this happens before he is out of power. There are currently fewer than 100 detainees left, and the number is dropping quickly. The military has now gone public with its decision to stand against Obama on this mattersomething that could interfere with Obamas plan to bypass Congress. Current law prohibits the use of funds to transfer, release or assist in the transfer or release of detainees of Guantanamo Bay to or within the United States, and prohibits the construction, modification or acquisition of any facility within the United States to house any Guantanamo detainee, Let. Gen William Mayville Jr. commented on this issue. The Joint staff will not take any action contrary to those restrictions. What do you think? Do you support Guantanamo Bay staying open? 
3	Obamacare Mandate: 15-Year-Old Girls Receive Free Sterilizations Without Parental ConsentAnthony Gucciardi After being finalized by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius earlier this year, the mandate allows for girls as young as 15 years old to go against parental wishes (or just not tell them) and receive sterilizations covered by their health care plan. In fact, the teenage girls can still receive the procedure even if the parents openly object. The bill states more specifically that all health care plans throughout the United States must provide 100% full coverage, without any cost-sharing, for not only all forms of sterilizations but all forms of contraceptives approved by the FDA for women with reproductive capacity. In other words, any woman with the ability to reproduce. Considering the rate puberty is rapidly accelerating in the United States, this age is very much up for debate. Girls as young as 8 are now giving birth, meaning that this law could apply to these young women who are literally fit to reproduce. On average, however, the term would apply to girls around the age of 12, which is now the generally accepted age as to when girls begin to menstruate. The consent form even allows for the possibility of a third party signer acting as an interpreter for those who are impaired or cannot speak English. The form, which the 15 year old girls are given to sign before receiving their sterilizations, reads: I understand that the sterilization must be considered permanent and not reversible, says this consent form. I have decided that I do not want to become pregnant, bear children or father children. The regulation is highly similar to previous legislation mandates such as the California bill that allowed girls as young as 12 to receive the Gardasil shot without any parental consent. It also is in the same vein as the ruthless Eugenics campaigns of the 20th century that are openly admitted. In what started out as voluntary sterilizations, the U.S. government forcibly sterilized over 60,000 people between 1929 and 1974. States like North Carolina have considered paying the families of victims in monetary compensation to make up for the government-enforced sterilization program. Explore More:

1	With less than two years remaining in his second term, Bill Clinton publicly chastised First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton Monday for failing to provide him with a male child to assume the presidency upon his leaving office. President Clinton lashes out against wife Hillary (right), who has jeopardized the Clinton presidential line with her inability to birth a male heir. 'As my tenure as president enters its twilight, my wish for a male heir remains unfulfilled,' Clinton told reporters at a White House press conference. 'Unless my wife Hillary bears me a son in the next 17 months, the glorious eight-year reign of the Clintons will come to an end.' 'Hillary, I rebuke you and your unfruitful womb,' Clinton said. 'The House Of Clinton must not be allowed to fall.' Hillary Clinton, who has been under heavy pressure to produce male issue for years, bore the president a daughter in 1980. Subsequent daughters have been catapulted into a swamp. In a CNN interview last year, Hillary insisted that she has made every effort to comply with Clinton's demands, following a strict daily regimen of prayer, horseback riding, and great amounts of beef. 'I assure you, I have done everything in my power to fulfill the president's wishes,' the First Lady told CNN Crossfire Sunday co-host Bob Beckel. 'There is no deliberate attempt on my part to end the Clinton bloodline.' According to an Aug. 15 New York Times report, a number of top Clinton Administration officials, including Defense Secretary William Cohen and White House Chief Of Staff Erskine Bowles, have urged the president to divorce Hillary and marry a younger, more fertile woman. Both Cohen and Bowles declined comment on the report. Hillary Clinton Rumors that the First Lady is assembling a legal team to prevent a decree of death remain unconfirmed as of press time. Meanwhile, Clinton has offered to confer a cabinet post upon the doctor who can solve the problem, and is said to be consulting the Archbishop of Washington five times a week. In addition to its lack of an heir, the House of Clinton has faced other troubles of late. Recent attempts to marry off daughter Chelsea to a wealthy American auto-manufacturing baron in hopes of strengthening the house have proven unsuccessful. On Aug. 5, the president was openly mocked on national television by one of his subjects. And in the past five months, three Clintons have died of hemophilia. While beheading the First Lady has never been discussed in official circles, Beltway insiders say Clinton may be keeping the option open. 'Hillary will face greater and greater pressure in the coming months unless she births a boy child,' said Roll Call editor and nationally syndicated columnist Morton Kondracke. 'This is a man who does not want his sigil to gather dust.' 
3	Russia Prepares for War, Plans to Move Thermonuclear ICBMs to BorderBy Kurt Nimmo The westernmost strategic missile force division in the Tver region will soon begin to be rearmed with the missile system Yars. It will be a sixth strategic missile division where the newest mobile ground-based missile complexes will replace the intercontinental ballistic missile Topol, Sergey Karakayev, the commander of Russias Strategic Missile Force told the news agency. The Russians claim the deployment is in response to NATO installing a US anti-missile system in Eastern Europe in violation of previous Russian-US arms treaties. The United States has made the outrageous claim its missile system is designed to respond to threats from Iran. Now, after the deployment of those anti-missile system elements, well be forced to think about neutralizing developing threats to Russias security, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in May. Putin added that the US anti-missile systems currently in place in Romania and soon in Poland can be easily repurposed to fire short- and mid-range missiles. Russia announced it would modernize a launch detection system in response to the threat along its border. It has also discussed stationing its state-of-the art Iskander missiles at its westernmost Baltic outpost of Kaliningrad which borders NATO members Poland and Lithuania. The Iskander travels at hypersonic speed and is capable of evading anti-ballistic missiles. In addition to missiles and nuclear warheads, NATO and Russia have engaged in massive war games this year. NATOs Anakonda 2016 exercise involved more than 30,000 troops, about half of them Americans, and thousands of combat vehicles from 24 nations. The huge exercise simulated battle maneuvers across Poland. A simultaneous naval exercise, BALTOPS 16, simulated high-end maritime warfighting in the Baltic Sea. Exercises were conducted in the waters near Kaliningrad, the Russian enclave between Poland and Lithuania. The maritime exercise represented a clear provocation. All of thisthe aggressive exercises, the NATO buildup, the added US troop deploymentsreflects a new and dangerous strategic outlook in Washington. Whereas previously the strategic focus had been on terrorism and counterinsurgency, it has now shifted to conventional warfare among the major powers, Michael T. Klare wrote for The Nation in July. Washington might intend the military buildup as pressure on President Putin to reduce Russian opposition to Washingtons unilateralism. However, it reminds some outspoken Russians such as Vladimir Zhirinovsky of Hitlers troops on Russias border in 1941, notes Paul Craig Roberts. To make the crisis clear for my readers and for all peoples, Washington is surrounding Russia with nuclear missile sites that can be silently converted from ABMs to first strike nuclear missiles that can reach Russian targets in a mere few minutes. Washington attempted to disguise this first strike capability with the explanation that the missiles were there to protect against an Iranian ICBM attack on Europe. This explanation was given by the US government despite the fact that everyone knows that Iran has neither ICBMs nor nuclear weapons, he writes on his website. Roberts, a former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy and associate editor of the Wall Street Journal, is not optimistic about what such frenzied military activity portends. He believes it is futile for Americans to plan for retirement. The crazed American government drowning in its own hubris has set us on a course to nuclear war. Can America produce a leader who can reverse course? Hillary Clinton will undoubtedly continue along this suicidal path. Donald Trump has said repeatedly he will not confront Russia. However, he has announced if elected the United States will expand its already massively inflated military budget. 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. If Soros wants war, Hillary will obey. Unfortunately Mme. Clinton is a warmonger and Trump is a belligerent, hubristic blowhard. Great choice Americas so called democracy has given the country! More war talk and avoiding the top of the pyramid, Roberts has questionable judgement and loyalties given he enthusiastically endorsed Obama for POTUS, despite Obamas clear ties to the banksters, establishment cronies, a favorite of Brzezinski, was a Marxist student of Alinksy, and received financial support from Goldman Sachs. Before the endorsement, Roberts penned countless essays on 9/11 as blowback (not false flag), the hopelessness of resisting given the ignorance of Americans, and endless limited hangouts. Yet, the former Assistant US Secretary of Treasury serving the Bankers continues to be quoted as an analyst. ?? Not being reported here is news this week of Putin reincarnating the KGB by centralizing the intelligence and military commands serving domestic (internal surveillance) and national security issues (international threats). The west and the east are both working to centralize policing power hence the plan for an EU military force. They use each other and engineered terrorism as public rationales.

2	Highschool Tells Students They Are Not Aloud To Pray Because Of THIS High school student Chase Windebank stirred quite the controversy when the young Christian decided to use his free time to gather some of his Christian friends, and with the permission of the choir teacher, use his empty room for praying and Bible study. After just a few weeks, nearly 90 students from Pine Creek High School in Colorado Springs were attending the events. That was until Windebank was called into the assistant principals office. Apparently, the meetings he had been holding, called seminar time were being deemed illegal. Windebank was told that he could no longer pray with his fellow students during free time because of the separation of church and state, claims Jeremy Tedesco, a lawyer for Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). He was told that he could pray before the school day begins or after the school day ends but he could not do it during the school day. Windebank worked with the ADF to write a letter to the schools administration, claiming that the new policy was both unconstitutional and invalid. Shockingly, the school pushed back on the letter, and their own return wrote that because of the separation of church and state and because they regarded the Seminar period as instructional time, they were banning students discussion of issues of the day from a religious perspective during the open time of Seminar period. Students were told that, according to state law and district policy, they could meet during non-instructional time before or after school, Nanette Anderson, a spokeswoman for the school confirmed. This time is counted as academic time toward the minimum hours of instruction that schools are required by state law, and therefore, must be used for academic purposes. Now the issue has escalated, and the ADF has officially filed a lawsuit seeking to end the discrimination. The claims are tied to the First Amendments freedom of speech, freedom of association, and free exercise of religion. It also alleges that the schools policy gives unlimited power of suppression and censorship of speech to school officials. Far from being unconstitutional, religious speech is expressly protected by the First Amendment, claims ADF attorney Matt Sharp. Public schools have no business stopping students from praying together during their free time. What do you think? Do you support the students voluntarily gathering during Seminar time? 
1	In a hotel ballroom eight miles outside Zimbabwe's capital city, representatives from the world's 175 least powerful nations met this week to discuss how everythingfrom political unrest, to insurmountable debt, to bloody social strifecan't get any worse. The world's least-influential nations gathered together to outline the upcoming year of widespread drought and famine. The annual summit, held in a different embattled and deeply troubled country each year, is aimed at addressing a wide range of issues currently facing the world's most helpless leaders. According to organizers, this year's G-175 will focus primarily on the challenges of global inequality, most notably how much of it there is, and how almost nothing can be done about it. 'We have gathered here this evening to address the utter hopelessness we all face,' said Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasina, who presided over the four-day conference. 'Whether stricken by crippling inflation, devastating war, or horrific spells of famine, it is time for us to come together as one and agree that pretty much everything is in the toilet.' Added Hasina, 'Now then, all those in favor of sighing loudly and looking around in desperation for some kind of answer, please say aye.' Three of the G-175 leaders (above) were violently deposed during the week-long summit. The dignitaries, who traveled from all across the world, arrived early Thursday morning to tackle a week's worth of possible resolutions. Items on the schedule included a motion to sit in hopeless resignation as the terrifying spread of hepatitis claimed the lives of millions, as well as a multilateral treaty, signed by all present, to shake their heads in defeat and disgust at rising poverty rates. Three hours of official cursing at G-20 nations and their inherent wealth and greed followed. 'Our people are starving,' said Tanzanian minister of agriculture Steven M. Wasira, contributing to a heated debate over whether all nations involved were completely screwed or absolutely fucked. 'We cannot grow anything in the north because of the drought, and flooding in the south has stopped us from harvesting what little food we do have. I come here today to ask that you please help the poor citizens of my' Wasira's plea ended abruptly when the Days Inn ballroom the summit was using had to be cleared for a 5 p.m wedding reception. According to G-175 attendees, the international conference had a more productive second day. A series of seminars, including 'Coping With Being Ignored By The U.N.,' 'The Welcome Respite Of Impending Death,' and 'At Least We Haven't Been Swallowed Whole By The Earth Yet,' provided frantic world leaders with some unviable solutions. In addition, representatives from nations lacking in the most basic of daily amenities found hope Friday when a motion to steal soap, shampoo, and hand towels from their hotel rooms was successfully ratified. The summit has also seen some setbacks. Military coups in several G-175 countries, including two in Thailand, delayed a number of panel discussions Saturday. And on Sunday, a meeting about burning dung as an alternative energy source was postponed when a Belarusian representative attempted to take control of the summit in an armed insurrection before being shot and killed Despite the low profile of this year's meeting, hundreds of protestors gathered in front of the hotel, overturning cars, setting fires, and throwing tear gas into the streets. Though it was later determined that two-thirds of those on hand were actually fighting in an unrelated civil war, G-175 leaders did not escape without their share of criticism. 'From what I can see, the member nations have gathered here to indulge in a lot of backslapping,' G-175 protestor Baakir Ha-zaru said. 'They devoted an entire day to discussing how we are powerless to stop the spread of AIDS. Well, what about discussing how we are powerless to stop the spread of typhoid fever, or even malaria for that matter? This is simply unacceptable.' On the final day of the summit, G-175 leaders voted unanimously that Iceland, which had previously been thought to be faring quite well, was actually doomed to failure like all the others. Before the closing remarks could bring the meeting to a formal end, the facilities had to be evacuated due to a carbon monoxide leak. 'We've made real progress over these past few days,' Papua New Guinea's representative Beida Enuma said. 'For instance, we realized that, while members of the G-20 are suffering under the weight of a crushing global recession, we haven't noticed it at all. So, in a way, things are actually sort of looking up.' 
3	NSA and GCHQ crack encryption; consider ordinary Americans adversariesMadison Ruppert In the latest top secret documents revealed by Edward Snowden, it is also revealed that the agencies consider ordinary citizens adversaries. Some of the most noteworthy aspects of the latest documents, reported on by The Guardian, Pro Publica and The New York Times include: It should hardly be surprising that our intelligence agencies seek ways to counteract our adversaries use of encryption, the response states. However, the document clearly refers to the general consumer as an adversary. These design changes make the systems in question exploitable through Sigint [signals intelligence] collection [] with foreknowledge of the modification, the document states. To the consumer and other adversaries, however, the systems security remains intact. Unsurprisingly, the response claims that the reports endanger national security by giving a road map [] to our adversaries. Meanwhile, the response nonsensically claims that the reports were also not news. Still the response claims that the stories reveal specific and classified details about how we conduct this critical intelligence activity. Anything that yesterdays disclosures add to the ongoing public debate is outweighed by the road map they give to our adversaries about the specific techniques we are using to try to intercept their communications in our attempts to keep America and our allies safe and to provide our leaders with the information they need to make difficult and critical national security decisions. The Director of National Intelligence has made similar claims in the past, calling the reports about the NSAs activities reckless disclosures. Interestingly, The Guardian noted that the three news outlets were asked not to publish their pieces by intelligence officials. While they decided to publish the stories, The Guardian revealed that they did indeed withhold some information. The three organizations removed some specific facts but decided to publish the story because of the value of a public debate about government actions that weaken the most powerful tools for protecting the privacy of internet users in the US and worldwide, The Guardian stated.

1	Hornets small forward Peja Stojakovic entertained his teammates Tuesday with his heartwarming tale of growing up in war-torn Croatia and waking up one Christmas morning to find a brand new regulation human head under the tree. 'Of course my parents could not afford it, but I didn't know that, and I could not contain myself as I unwrapped the bow and immediately started scuffing up the face with sandpaper so I could get a better grip,' said Stojakovic, recalling the pride he felt when he showed his father that he could grip the head with one hand. 'I can still remember the sound that the head would make when it went through the coiled razor-wire net. My mother, she used to get angry because I was bouncing the head in the house all the time, but she always encouraged me to work on my head-handling skills.' Stojakovic said that he eventually lost the old headwhich by then had become discolored and lost most of its skinwhen it landed in the yard of a neighbor who refused to give it back. 
1	Weeks after stepping out in London with musician Tom Odell, sources confirmed that country crooner Taylor Swift has split with the British heartthrob and is now dating U.S. senator Joseph R. McCarthy (R-WI). Taylor and Tail Gunner Joe were seen canoodling at a diner in his hometown of Appleton, and we can confirm that the two are officially an item, Popsugar.com blogger Michelle Lee said of the blossoming romance between the 23-year-old pop star and the fiery anti-communist crusader, nicknaming the couple McSwift. Taylor really admires Joes patriotism and loves the way hes so committed to his causes. Hes just an unpretentious Midwestern guy from Wisconsin, and thats exactly what she needs right now. At press time, sources reported that Taylor and McCarthy had been spotted cozying up in the back of a hearing at the State Department. 
3	Cops Say Family Thanked Them For Beating and Arresting Them In Their Own HomeNick Bernabe The only problem with this official story is that its basically completely fabricated. Police saw two men, Luis and Diego Lobaton, smoking cigarettes suspiciously before reentering their own home and place of business to which they had their own keys for. This is when the cops decided that the two men deserved something that they would later be thankful for: thugs with badges forcefully entering their residence, beating, then arresting the brothers, and traumatizing their mother and 3-year-old brother. But where this story really goes off the rails, according to Voice of San Diego, are the discrepancies between the police report and video footage from the stores surveillance camera: Police say Luis, 21, took a fighters stance and that Luis attempted twice to hit one of the officers. Lobaton does not appear to swing or lunge at the officers in the video and actually appears to be backpedaling when an officer rushes inside and begins striking him, says the Voice report. Police say Diego, 20, tried to lock the door to stop officers from going inside. This never happens on the video. Police say the boys mother, Hedy Julca, tried to pull the door shut when one of the officers attempted to talk to Luis. The video shows Julca opening the door, another officer holding it open, and the cops entering the store. Watch the surveillance videos below: (skip to 7:00 minutes in both videos to see what really happened) As you can see, the beating took place in the presence of an infant and an elderly woman,Hedi Julca who was later charged for a crime in the incident. Police were clearly the aggressors against these innocent people who were literally minding their own business. Thankfully, charges were eventually dropped against both her and her sons, and the family is now suing the San Diego Police Department for misconduct. Despite the public outcry following this incident, San Diego police once again followed one of the brothers into the same store, telling their mother he was acting suspicious. The San Diego police department has come under major scrutiny as of late. San Diego law enforcement (including border patrol, Sheriffs etc) have killed over 200 people since records of victims of state violence began being kept, according to UAPTSD.org. San Diegos police chief recently stepped down amid corruption and misconduct in his force. His replacement, Shelley Zimmerman, has been attempting to ease fears by implementing police reforms. One of these reforms was the implementation of body cameras for all San Diego police. The cops involved in this incident were conveniently not wearing their cameras at the time, according to witnesses. Nick Bernabe writes for TheAntiMedia.org, where this article first appeared.

It is high time to review the policies regarding the criteria used in the police selection process; it is painfully obvious that the present ones are not working. The median IQ is 100; the test is designed so that people with the median IQ will score right around 100. Police forces, however, will not hire any candidate with a 100 IQ or above; so they policy is actually to hire the subnormal. Cops lie? Damn we all know that, its part of the job. They testi-lie.

1	As the Super Bowl approaches, veterans returning to football's most high-pressure event have been doing their best to prepare their teammates for the mental stresses, unique physical demands, and quasi-supernatural nightmarish manifestations that only those who have played in the NFL's championship game before have experienced. 'There's really no way to describe it,' said Steelers linebacker James Harrison, whose 100-yard Super Bowl XLIII interception return through clouds of whirling razors and past millions of grasping prehensile tongues to score a crucial touchdown is the longest play in the game's history. 'The second you walk out for the national anthem, the crowd is roaring, there's more TV cameras than you've ever seen, the turf becomes an undulating field of red-hot pustulant nipples, there's the flyover Until you've been there, you can't really know what it's like.' Added Harrison, 'And during the second quarter, when you start having hallucinations of your teammates having sex with historical figures, well, nothing can prepare you for that.' Players with Super Bowl experience have been telling newcomers that, as soon as their planes touch down in Texas, they will enter a realm unlike any they have ever known. Charles Woodson, one of only two men on the Green Bay roster to have played in the title game, told reporters he will attempt to ensure the Packers are ready for everything from the first practice to the moment they run down the dimly lit throbbing pink tunnel to take the field. According to Woodson, if rookies can get through the tunnel without the leeches vomiting blood on them, they will be off to a good start, but he said that's only a fraction of the panic they may face during the coin toss when the referee spontaneously bursts into flames and the two-headed coin begins arguing with itself. 'We just came through the NFC Championship against our biggest rivals, and these guys may think they're ready for what's coming,' said Woodson, who had eight tackles and an interception in his first trip to the Super Bowl with the Raiders, but wound up watching the loss from the bench when a gash on his injured left big toe transmogrified into a lamprey-like mouth in the third quarter and attempted to eat his right foot. 'But they haven't been there. They have no idea. The atmosphere is far more intense than anything they've ever seen.' 'And I'm not just talking about the acid fog,' Woodson added. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said he struggled during his first Super Bowl because, while he had heard that the game was like no other, and that moaning whispers would somehow infiltrate the earpiece inside his helmet, he had not realized they would be as horrifying as they were or would know so much about the unspeakable sins of his ancestors. 'That's the Super Bowl for you,' Roethlisberger said. 'It's certainly not just another football game with four 15 minute quarters and a halftime.' Players who have been to a Super Bowl agreed that no amount of preparation is ever enough to counter the overwhelming fan expectations or the sight of one's own flesh melting like candle wax and recasting itself into the horrifying shapes of monstrous boars and extradimensional lobsters. 'You wonder why it took me so long to get a ring?' said former Denver Broncos QB John Elway, who lost three times on the NFL's biggest stage before winning twice in Super Bowls XXXII and XXXIII. 'It wasn't just that the NFC was so much better in the 1980s. It's simply hard to perform after you've had microphones in your face all week, microphones that turn into moist blood-drinking penises when you look away for just a second and then become just microphones again when you look back.' The veterans are reportedly trying to convey the creeping tension as best they can. At one early meet-and-greet between the two teams, Steelers safety Troy Polamalu, a two-time Super Bowl veteran, attempted to give young Packer linebacker Clay Matthews some advice on dealing with the 24-hour onslaught of Media Week and the usual third-quarter inversion of the rules of sane reality. 'He just laughed and said that, yeah, he'd heard about the pits of suppurating human offal that erupt between the 40 yard lines, but weren't the field conditions bad for everybody?' Polamalu said. 'And I was like, man. That was me in Super Bowl XL. But I learned. God help me, I learned.' While no two Super Bowls are alike in either the flow of the game or the way in which the rational world seems to become perverted, experience does seem to help those who make it back. 'My second Super Bowl was a lot better,' Roethlisberger said. 'You're never really quite used to it, of course. You can't be and still call yourself human. But in Super Bowl XLIII against the Cardinals, I tried to remember what the game was like the first time, so I wouldn't be overwhelmed. Sure enough, on the first snap of the game, the football turned into a woman's head that wrapped a thorny tongue around my wrist, where it began to dissolve my flesh, but it was all somehowfamiliar.' Roethlisberger finished the game with a touchdown, completed 70 percent of his passes, and earned a respectable 93.2 quarterback rating. He said the jagged dark welt on his wrist only hurts when he wakes up from 'certain dreams.' 
1	Responding to widespread criticism from an increasing majority of Americans who find the teams moniker offensive, Washington Redskins officials announced Wednesday that they were legally granted the right to use the name by the 1807 Treaty of Blackwater Creek. What critics fail to understand is that the Redskins name was originally approved by Native American tribes in an effort to make peace with early settlers, said franchise owner Daniel Snyder, explaining that the 19th-century Iroquois gave their blessing to use the Redskins logo in exchange for bolts of cloth, copper kettles, and various food supplies. Our teams identity is not only a source of pride for our players, coaches, and fans, but also symbolizes a promise we made over two centuries ago at Fort Elmsley. To abandon it now would simply dishonor all the distinguished Native American elders who came together at Blackwater Creek and helped forge that great and historic concord. Snyder added that the treaty also contained a provision in which all Native American tribes agreed that no future U.S. government agency could ever revoke the Washington Redskins trademark protection. 
1	Describing the precaution as a financially prudent decision for all households, a panel of the nations top economists recommended Wednesday that Americans set aside money from each paycheck so they will be ready in the event Dire Straits reunites for a tour. We suggest placing a small percentage of your earnings into a separate account to ensure you have adequate savings should Dire Straits unexpectedly announce a string of North American concert dates to promote a new greatest-hits double album, said Princeton University economics professor Julia Bridges, adding that at any moment, an unforeseen reconciliation between singer-guitarist Mark Knopfler and bassist John Illsley could precipitate a reunion that would leave millions scrambling to cover the cost of presale tickets. While this year saw the 30th anniversary of Brothers In Arms pass by uneventfully, that still doesnt rule out the possibility of the bands first tour since 1992 suddenly hitting arenas in major cities across the United States. Sadly, many Americans would struggle to afford decent seats if Dire Straits played a show in their town today, let alone purchase basic merchandise such as commemorative reunion hats and T-shirts. This would leave them at risk of missing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the classic Sultans Of Swing guitar solo up close and in person. Bridges advised that, at the very least, Americans keep a small pool of emergency reserves on hand should Cheap Trick or REO Speedwagon come to their local fairgrounds.

1	The 15-billion-year-old universe came to a surprise-twist end Tuesday, when God woke up next to actress Suzanne Pleshette. 'What a crazy dream I just had,' God said to Pleshette at the conclusion of the popular, long-running universe. 'I was the Creator of all things, I had this crazy Son who was always getting arrested and wouldn't get a haircut, and My children were always hurting and killing each other in My name.' Pleshette reassured God that He had imagined the whole thing and urged the beleaguered, well-intentioned deity to go back to sleep. 
2	Bergdahls Platoon Leader Releases Shocking Facts About Night Bergdahl Left When the news broke that Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl was released from captivity after being held by the Taliban-affiliated Haqqani network, Americans rejoiced. That was before, however, the true facts broke in the case. Like, for instance, the details of the exchange of five prisoners from Guantanamo Bay. Or rumors that Bergdahl had actually deserted his post and denounced citizenship prior to his capture. In an interview with Fox News, Bergdahls former sergeant Justin Gerleve spoke out against him, claiming, I believe he was a deserter. He left his fellow soldiers, leadership, and his country behind when he left, Gerleve continued. It cannot be forgotten that a number of United States soldiers died in search of Bergdahl, which make the rumors even more tragic. Another sergeant, Evan Buetow, also made statements to CNN claiming that Bergdahl purposely sought the Taliban. If Buetows statements are true, the government just went to shocking lengths to help someone who was aiding the enemy. The White House is defending their actions among the rumors, claiming that Bergdahls release was a moral imperative, regardless of the circumstances of his capture. 
2	Her Funeral Was This Week, But The Unbelievable Thing Joey Left Behind Will Restore Your Faith Joey Feek passed away on March 4th of last week. Her funeral service was March 8th. The funeral service was completely planned by her and her amazing husband. Joey had specific requests for her funeral. She wanted to be buried in a wooden casket that was handcrafted by a tree on the farm. The casket was to be made by their long time farm hand. She also wanted the song After Youre Gone to be played. The song was played during a presentation put together to celebrate Joeys life. Their close friends, the Gaithers, made the presentation. The service went exactly as planned and the entire thing was beautiful. Rory wrote on his blog When it came my time to speak, I walked up on the stage and stood looking at my wifes sweet picture and words were not enough to let her know how much she meant to me how much she still means to me, Rory wrote. And when my time was through and I thought I couldnt cry anymore tears they played a video celebrating Joeys life that our friends Daniel and Gabe made. And my tears were replaced by smiles and laughter and joy and more tears. It was so beautiful. Joey planned her entire funeral and left behind amazing photos. She was present the entire day, and she could be felt as she was lowered to the ground. God was watching over. He provided us with amazing clarity into the reasons that he took her from Rory. God needed show that true love and family will bring you peace. Those things are what will bring you happiness before death. Joey left behind a beautiful family, and her faith. She is up with God singing her Hymns album. Do you love Joey? 
2	BREAKING: Bill Clinton To Be Charged For Rape... He Cant Hide From This According to some shocking new reports, the nurse who found Juanita Broaddrick in her hotel room immediately after former President Bill Clinton allegedly raped her has broken her silence on the evening. The story is extraordinarily disturbing. Norma Rogers worked for Broaddrick 38 years ago as a nurse while Broaddrick was a nursing home administrator. At the time, Broaddrick was also volunteering for Bill Clintons 1978 gubernatorial campaign. Rogers said she traveled to Little Rock for a convention with Broaddrick, where they shared a room at the Camelot Hotel. She was crying, Rogers recalled of the evening in question in a recent interview with Breitbart. The thing I think I remember most is that her mouth was all swollen up. It was cutHer pantyhose were all ripped. Rogers claims she drove Broaddrick home after the incident. I think we stopped at least twice to get ice, she continued. I would go up and get fresh ice and put it on her mouth because she was trying to keep her face from bruising and looking like something bad had happened to her, you know. It was crazy. The whole situation was just crazy. Looking back on the incident, Roger says it was clear that Broaddrick was in a state of shock. I think she blamed herself, she explained. She felt bad for what had happened because she felt like, you know, Why was I not smart enough to figure this out and keep something like this from happen? Broaddrick also asked Rogers to keep the story confidential. I have no respect for him at all, Rogers said of Clinton What do you think? Does this man and his wife need to be kept far away from the White House? 
1	Television viewer Michael Grigg was stunned to learn Monday that Lovin' Spoonful frontman John Sebastian, not Randy Newman, composed and sang the Welcome Back, Kotter theme song. 'Seriously? John Sebastian?' Grigg said upon being informed by friend Brian Richards while watching the popular '70s sitcom on Nick At Nite. 'God, I would have bet money that it was Randy Newman. Especially with the piano and everything.' Added an incredulous Grigg: 'You have to admit, it sounds a lot more like 'Short People' than 'Do You Believe In Magic?'' 
1	Green Bay Packers front-office officials have informed three-time MVP Brett Favre they can wait for his decision on whether or not he's planning to retire for 'as long as it fucking takes.' 'This is a big decision for Brett Favre, and we can't deny that he's the heart and soul of our team, the most important Packer, the most important person in all of America, and the center of the whole entire universe,' Packer general manager Ted Thompson said Tuesday. 'It's not like we have to make any major decisions that all hinge on whether or not he's returning, after all. We'll just ride around on our lawn tractors on our farm in Mississippi while we wait for him to make up his goddamn mind.' Favre would not say when he might announce his decision, admitting that he was 'too much in awe of what Mr. Brilliant Genius Thompson did with the 4-12 Packers last year' to commit one way or the other.

'It's pointed right at my facial genitalia. This is so embarrassing.' At press time, irritated Zoraxian military personnel were hard at work building a giant megalaser designed to incinerate the source planet of the irritation. 
2	Massachusetts Implements GENIUS Program To Stop Welfare Abuse, More States To Follow Massachusetts has been experiencing severe problems with welfare fraud. They are losing millions because people who dont actually need benefits are taking them from the government. $2.39 million alone went to recipients who had been dead between 6 and 27 months. Republican Brad Jones took charge of the program to begin fingerprinting recipients so that those who dont deserve them, dont receive them. They are hoping to get the system in place as soon as possible, and other states are soon to follow. The bill passed 158-0 in the house, and is waiting for Senate approval. A lot of people need it and some people take advantage. I think fingerprinting and drug testing too, anything they can do to get those people out who abuse the system, said a random resident that was being interviewed. This could be very effective. Do you think it should be implemented in every state?

This quote came out of a conversation that centered around republicans disgust for the 2016 candidates. The full quote was, People are not going to say, No, I hate all the candidates and were going to say that we have a terrible field and well lose to the most corrupt woman in the history of the world. What are they supposed to say? Im not excited? Do you support Andre Tantaros? Is Hillary the most corrupt woman in the world? 
3	Saudi Arabia Prepared And Willing To Send Troops To SyriaBy Brandon Turbeville With the United States put somewhat in check by the Russians, however, there remains very little else available to NATO other than to risk a direct military conflict with Russia or to find new proxy forces to do the dirty work of the empire. The West, apparently, has found a way to combine both strategies i.e. the possibility of igniting a third world war and the raising of a proxy army to do much of the fighting. Enter Saudi Arabia. On Thursday, Saudi Arabia announced that the kingdom would be willing to send its troops to Syria in an effort to fight ISIS. Of course, Saudi Arabia has been one of the staunchest allies of ISIS and other terror groups fighting against the Syrian government since the beginning of the crisis so it is not reasonable to belief that any military action taken by the KSA will be directed at anything other than the Syrian government. Clearly, Saudi Arabia is prepared to invade Syria at the behest of NATO since its recent military foray into Yemen has demonstrated that the only targets KSA is capable of taking out are institutes for the blind and schools of young children. Other than that, the KSA has been given a thorough whipping in Yemen by rebels who are vastly outgunned and outnumbered. KSA is only doing damage on the war front because it is targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure and thus rendering the entire country back to the Stone Age, a time in history for which the Saudis have a particular fondness. The U.S., of course, is welcoming the Saudi blunder. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter has even publicly stated that the Saudi announcement is very welcome and will allow the U.S. to accelerate its fight against ISIS. Not all officials are impressed by the Saudi threats, however, with Iranian commander of the Revolutionary Guards Maj. Gen. Ali Jafari mocking the KSA. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem, however, stopped well short of a joke when addressing the Saudi threats. Any ground intervention in Syria, without the consent of the Syrian government, will be considered an aggression that should be resisted by every Syrian citizen. I regret to say that they will return home in wooden coffins, he said. Muallem also stated that the idea of Saudi troops invading Syria might seem far-fetched, but that with the crazy Saudi leadership nothing is far-fetched. Indeed, the Saudi leadership has demonstrated its insanity time after time. For the sake of all, however, we hope the KSA returns to its senses.

The Saudis, wont, unless they are in reserve Ha ha ha.those uniforms will make them sitting ducks Look closely at the religious orientation of leading Saudi sheiks; it is not Islam. They are allied with George H. W. Bush, who turned over the USA to Israel. Bush and the Saudi bin Laden family formed the Carlyle Group. MH 370 disappeared with 4 of the scientific technicians aboard owning 80% of the super ICs they were taking to China. With their disappearance ownership of the chips fell to GHWBush and the Carlyle Group. Meanwhile, technicians traced MH 370 to Diego Garcia, the secretive island, airport and submarine facility that is operated by the USNavy, but controlled by the NSA/CIA. Meanwhile, Obama and NATO are pushing Germanys Merkel to provide more support to NATO, backing the attack on Assad and Syria, while patriotic Germans and Europeans want to ditch Merkel ASAP or sooner. Merkel has provided Erdogan with several billion Euros of the German Folk, from whom she keeps her agreements with Erdogan very secret. Saudi Arabia , Bahrain, Kuaite, Jordan and Israel are all British Crown Protectorates. Heres what sounds to me like a lot of fun. Saudi Arabia invades Syria and Russia slaughters every one of the Saudi troops. Russia roasted up 600 ISIS mercs with one cruise missile fired from one of their ships. So, maybe they can clean house on Saudi Arabia as well. Make popcorn. This will be good. The turks and saudis will find themselves running for their lives once the S-400s destroy ANY nato aircraft in range. It will be a slaughter. 
3	Counter-Surveillance Success Stories to Inspire Digital Rights AdvocatesKimberly Carlson Since 2008, a coalition of European organizations has met annually under the banner of Freedom Not Fear to fight against online spying, and to challenge the hyperbolic rhetoric of fear that permeates the security and privacy debate. The Freedom Not Fear movement emerged from widespread outrage to the European Unions 2006 Mandatory Data Retention Directive. Since its origins, Freedom Not Fears message has been: fundamental rights like privacy, free expression, due process, and democratic participation are jeopardized when reactionary, fear-driven surveillance systems penetrate our societies. EFF is joining this years Freedom Not Fear campaign by featuring a collection of Counter-Surveillance Success Stories from activists who worked (and continue to work) tirelessly to protect our fundamental rights. These counter-surveillance success stories will be a part of a toolkit provided to the digital rights advocates in Latin America that EFFs International Rights Director Katitza Rodriguez will be collaborating with as she continues her six-month tour of the region this fall. Throughout the trip, she and the other activists will share best practices on how to combat growing surveillance trends in their respective countries and work to create and promote privacy-enhancing solutions. As part of this project, weve identified some of the best strategies for challenging overreaching proposals that threaten to erode civil liberties. Visit ourCounter-Surveillance Success Stories collection to read the case studies that illustrate how digital freedom activists around the world have successfully challenged surveillance practices and proposals. We hope to see this list of examples continue to grow. Please visit EFF for the latest news in digital privacy. 
1	A powerful, enduring grudge was ruined for local resident Roger Chilton Saturday following a profoundly earnest plea for forgiveness from longtime friend Peter Scotto. 'I was looking forward to harboring this bitter resentment for at least another decade, goddamnit, and now he's taken that away from me,' a deflated Chilton lamented, recalling how Scotto had selfishly revealed his innermost vulnerabilities during the deeply emotional apology. 'The worst part is, he was completely and unequivocally remorseful, the bastard.' Chilton told reporters he was so upset over having to give up the grudge that he vowed never to forgive Scotto for such a brave and honest act.

This Is Sickening President Barack Obama has stood behind Hillary Clinton through every step of the FBI investigation into her use of a private email server as his Secretary of State. He has turned a blind eye to her many crimes and has encouraged investigators to let her off the hook. Just when Americans thought he couldnt get any more corrupt, video footage has surfaced of Obama calling on illegal immigrants to vote today. The clip below shows just how far Obama is willing to go to push his own agendaan agenda that Clinton has promised to protect and push forward. His comments, like his entire administration, are lawless. This is outrageous. Do you agree?

'Now, each time a customer uses the word 'bank' in either its spoken or written form, 75 cents will be automatically deducted from his or her account,' said Kenneth Nordland, 54, president of the American Banking Association. 'For instance, if you say, 'I bank with Bank of America,' that would cost you $1.50.' Nordland added that customers wishing to avoid the penalty are encouraged to use the alternate phrase 'financial institution.'

'I mentioned to Pete that I'd be visiting family in Pennsylvania over the weekend, and he says, 'You oughta pick up some chicks there, 'cause they only gotta be 16,'' coworker Geoff Richardson said. 'Then he says, 'South Carolina's the best: 15.' I mean, that's seriously creepy.'

1	selfnews News Network To Broadcast Planet's Final Moments NEW YORK, NY (September 29, 2011) - With a giant asteroid expected to hit Earth on October 4th, the selfnews News Network has announced it will continue broadcasting until the moment the planet is destroyed. 'We are very excited to cover the annihilation of Earth,' said selfnews News Network anchor Brooke Alvarez. 'You can count on us to be your number one end-of-humanity news source.' While most other cable news outlets will be shutting down so their staff can spend their final hours with their loved ones, the selfnews News Network's 'Loyalty Contract' which all employees must sign means the network will be able to stay on-air even as the asteroid slams into the planet, incinerating us all in a wave of fire. 'We are expecting our ratings to go through the roof,' said selfnews Programming Director Harris Zweibel. 'Advertising rates have been tripled for when the asteroid enters our atmosphere, as that is when viewership is expected to peak. From a business perspective, the end of the world will be very good for us.' The selfnews News Network is preparing to make their coverage of the apocalypse a must-see television event. Correspondents will be standing by around the world to give live reports on humanity's final moments, a countdown clock will keep viewers constantly updated on how many minutes they have left to live, and Washington pundits will debate the political implications of the destruction of all life as we know it. Viewers who are not sobbing uncontrollably or cowering in their basements can take part in the coverage, sending their Tweets, Facebook messages, and UReport videos to the selfnews News Network's interactive website. 'The goal is to keep viewers watching right up until their eyeballs are melted out of their heads and the skin is blasted off their skeletons in the horrendous shockwave,' says Ms. Alvarez. 'If there are any particles of your flesh left floating in the vacuum of space after the asteroid hits, rest assured they will be very well-informed particles.' The second season of selfnews News Network premieres October 4th on IFC at 10pm / 9 Central. 
2	Youll Never Believe Which State Just Gave In To Shariah Law According to recent reports, an Islamic Tribunal of four attorneys who are claiming to be judges are now issuing rulings on civil disputes in Dallas, Texas. Taher El-badawi, one of the judges, recently told Breitbart that they are spreading Shariah law to all who will accept it. Some Texas are even using the religious law to solve family and business matters. While participation in the tribunal in voluntary, a married couple cannot be considered divorced by the Islamic community unless its granted by the tribunal, El-badawi told reporters. He went on to claim a monopoly on civil law. Of course, he went on to admit that women are unequal to men under Islamic law and do not have the same rights as their husbands, but if anyone is unsatisfied with the rulings, the can then go to the Texas civil courts. The courts of the United States of America are costly and consist of ineffective lawyers, the tribunal says of the American justice system. Discontent with the legal system leads many Muslims in America to postpone justice in this world and opt for an audience on the Day of Judgment. What do you think of the new Islamic Tribunal? 
3	Theres a 50% Chance a Robot Will Take Your Job in the Next 20 YearsBy Jake Anderson According to a CNN report, the Bank of England is preparing for automation to shed 80 million American jobs and 15 million British jobs within the next 10 to 20 years. This is approximately 50% of the U.S. and British workforce. Forbes has put the number at 45%. The workers who will be replaced first are toll booth operators, cashiers, marketers, customer service reps, factory workers, financial middlemen,journalists, lawyers, and phone workers. These jobs will soon be supplanted by automated services made possible by AI, 3D printing, robotics, nanotechnology, and even biotechnology. Sourcing a study from Oxford University, Yahoo Tech adds even more jobs to the endangered list, including paralegals, loan officers, receptionists, salespeople, security guards, fast food cooks, and even bartenders. We are approaching the time when machines will be able to outperform humans at almost any task, says Moshe Vardi, a computer science professor at Rice University in Texas. Society needs to confront this question before it is upon us: if machines are capable of doing almost any work humans can do, what will humans do? The transformation is already underway, and the World Economic Forum(WEF) believes five million jobs will be gone by 2020, irrevocably terminated by what they call the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The jobs most at risk in the immediate present, the WEF says, are administrative and routine white-collar office functions, though eventually advances in AI will provide corporations with the option of outsourcing virtually any job to automated services and entities. What can humans do? The WEF recommends upskilling. At least one analyst is more optimistic on the issue. J.P. Gownder of Forrester, a Boston-based tech research firm, says robots will replace some jobs, but will also create new ones. The new jobs, Gownder believes, will be training the robots.

Once they are trained jobs cease existing, robot will train robot. good point. as if, we need to worry about losing jobs.!! Hey heres an idea replace all of CONgres w/ robots couldnt be any less representative or worthless. even better point.!! Wonder if all those brain trust techies making the decision to replace workers with robots have figure out how those laid off workers will have any money to buy anything those robots make. You will be supplied with free moneyat least in the short term. EU countries have already discussed taxing robotic labor based on the number of human jobs replaced. Then using that money to provide for the unemployed. Eventually (and inevitably) robots will replace all human jobs. Advancements in AI are all that is necessary. Computers/robotics will become so good, no one would ever hire a human.it will come to that. And.if thats not enoughanother change.we simply have robots build robots.giving us essentially unlimited labor. Note that we also send those robots to other planets for resources. And they will eliminate the 6.5 billion humans, except for the elitist owners and they will have their Elysium fields. I do home repair/ remodeling and a lot of other service based work. No robot is going to replace what I do. There are way too many things and variables for a machine to do. If you are worried about this move into a field that robots cant do. Not easy to do, but far from impossible. And its better to make the move now that later when it will be forced on you. Or just keep the cruse control set on auto till your job goes away and wonder (and complain) how it happened to you. Most service-based jobs are very likely resistant to automation, look into starting your own service-based income stream.

2	Female Terrorist Gets Run Over By Car After Trying To Stab A Man According to recent reports, a female Palestinian terrorist just attempted to kill Israeli pedestrians in a knife attack. Fortunately, a driver who witnessed the incident made a quick move and was able to run the woman over with his car. The incident was one of a series of attacks that happened on Sunday in the West Bank town of Samaria. The woman began attacking Israelis in the morning in Brigade Square. Her actions were put to a stop by Gershon Mesika, the former head of an Israeli settlement group called the Samaria Regional Council. Mesika was driving nearby when he spotted the woman, and he made a split-second decision to take action. I heard someone shout terrorist and run toward a girl from Har Bracha, wielding a knife, Mesika said in an interview with Army Radio. I made a quick decision: I veered to the right and slammed into her. The terrorist was initially described as in serious condition, but was later pronounced dead. The attacks also robbed the lives of several Americans, including an 18-year-old from Boston and a 76-year-old peace activist. What do you think of the incident? CULTURE 
1	A CBS/New York Times poll released Tuesday revealed that while an overwhelming majority of Americans are 'more than happy' with the two screwdriver heads currently available to them, 64 percent would be willing to entertain the idea of using a third type. 'Well, I've never had a problem with my Phillips or my flathead, but if the question is would I reject a new screwdriver head outright without even trying it first, then the answer is no, I don't think I would,' said Tulsa, OK resident Joe Reynolds, adding that when it comes to new ways to tighten and fasten screws, he remains 'skeptical but open-minded.' 'Now, if the third type of screwdriver head didn't work as well as the two I'm currently accustomed to, then that would be a different story; if that were the case, then I would not be inclined to use it.' Despite the poll results, numerous hardware manufacturers have confirmed they currently have no plans to manufacture or release a third screwdriver head.

This is the first time the group has openly threatened direct attacks on American soil. According to reports, the U.S.-led coalition has been engaging in a variety of strikes over the past week, including attacks on mobile oil refineries and vehicles, virtually destroying ISIS targets in Syria. Despite the attacks, the group has become more defiant and vocal. Meanwhile, the US and allies are continuing operations in Syria and Iraq. We know that our bases are known because theyre tracking us with radars and satellites, so we had backup locations, an ISIS commander said, according to a CNN report. Even if coalition attacks impeded ISIS, theyre not enough to stop ISIS mission of fortifying an Islamic state across Sunni parts of Syria and Iraq.

Heres my bottom line: America must always lead on the worlds stage, the President emphatically concluded, to a completely silent crowd. Ordinarily, the comment would have caused an eruption of applause, but it appears that West Point wasnt impressed. We cant say were very surprised, especially since his approval rating is at an all-time low of 32%. CNN Host Jim Clancy criticized for his message, claiming that it was not really a great speech to give at the U.S. Military Academy. He went on to claim that it was a philosophical speech rather than a commander-in-chief speaking to his troops speech. He went on to call the reception icy.

2	BREAKING: Electors Move To Overturn Election And Take Presidency Back From Trump According to a disturbing new report, a lawsuit by two Democratic members of the Electoral College is heading to federal court in Colorado on Monday. Polly Baca and Robert Nemanich are hoping to stop Donald Trump from making it to the White House. U.S. District Court Judge Wiley Daniel, who was appointed by Bill Clinton in 1995, is set to preside over the hearing. The two electors are suing to overturn a Colorado law that demands they support the winner of their statewide popular voteHillary Clintonduring the general election last month. Baca and Nemanich are part of a group of nine electors lobbying Republicans behind an alternative Republican candidate to Trump. Theyre hoping that by overturning Colorados law, they will undermine similar laws in 28 other statesparticularly those where Republican electors have already expressed concerns about Trump. The 538 members of the Electoral College are scheduled to meet on December 19 in their respective state capitals to cast the vote for president. Liberals have been circulating a petition demanding that many of the electors either throw away their votes or cast them for Hillary.

'Obviously, I'm thrilled to have this deal, and the 50-cents-per-assist clause was completely unexpected,' said Donovan, counting on his fingers how much money he'd made in the past week. 'Plus, Grandpa Frank gives me a silver dollar from his milk jug every time I visit, so if I save up, I might be able to buy a bicycle by this summer.' As for last year's controversy surrounding the ice cream sundae Donovan was promised if he had fun and showed good sportsmanship, the star forward said that was all put aside after his grandma offered a signing bonus of his favorite meat loaf dinner. 
3	SMART Technology: How its Gotcha in the Thieves CrosshairsBy Catherine J. Frompovich Fox News recently produced an online article, Hacking into your home: TVs, refrigerators could be portal to most sensitive info that should scare the living daylights out of any person who values safety in his or her home. According to Fox News, Televisions and refrigerators arent the only concern. Any appliance that connects to the Internet cable box, thermostat, dishwasher, clothes dryer, coffee maker, smart water meter, toaster, oven, clock radio, garage door opener, security alarms, Insulin pumps, pacemakers, door locks, thermostat or lights can be compromised. If they are linked to your home network, they can be a portal to your most sensitive information. [CJF emphasis added] Did you know that Dear readers, SMART METERS are the very means by which everything in your house is/will be connected to the Grid! Also, they are the means by which information inside your house can/will be broadcast LIVE via radio waves to anyone who can hack into them! That is every petty hackers dream come true. Whom do you have to blame for that breach of safety and security? Answer: Your state legislative body, which apparently was lobbied hard enough by utilities to get smart meter legislation on the books in your state. Dont they need to hear from you about how much you like that someone literally has inside access into your lifestyle, plus when you are home or not? There ought to be a law against that! Demand it! Figuratively, smart meters are comparable to leaving the front door key on top of the door mat, and mandated by state laws! David Knight of Proofpoint says, Adam Levin of Credit.com and Identity Theft 911 suggests a national conversation about how widespread such monitoring has become and safeguards that should be put into place to ensure privacy and security in the homes of all Americans. This writer suggests that smart meters be done away with since they are the prime means of surveillance, broadcast and connection with the Internet grid; are harmful to consumers health, personal safety, and place in jeopardy, personal identity and home theft, along with other risks and problems like smart meter hot sockets, fires and explosions. Smart Meters, when it comes down to brass tacks, really ought to be banned. Furthermore, some smart legislator ought to introduce a smart bill that would make utility companies responsible for all thefts that occur within houses that have smart meters retrofitted.

That escalated this week when he decided to blatantly insult his colleague Sean Hannity. When the opinion people say things and then later we get facts that are different, and I report those, everybody would love for there to be a war going on here, Shep commented. But its not like that. Everybodys got a job to do, he continued. Hannity is trying to get conservatives elected. And he wants you to listen to him and believe what he believes. And Im disseminating fact, he remarked. Its really apples and teaspoons. What we do is so different. Hes an entertaining guy who has an audience that he serves, and I deliver the news. His is probably easierhe knows what he thinks and just sticks with it. This stuff changes all the time. Shep may be talking tough, but the truth is the joke is on him. His career will never advance beyond Fox News, which is quickly going down the drain after Ailes departure. Hannitys future will only go up from here if Trump wins the election. 
2	They Told This Quarterback Not To Talk About God, So He Does THIS Instead According to recent reports, high school quarterback Dante Turo was recently punished by a referee for raising his finger to show his appreciation to God during a game. When your score touchdowns, when you make big plays, its easy to become proud, Geno, Dantes father, told reporters. Its east to take credit for yourself. I dont want my son to get caught up in that. Geno went on to explain that he encourages his son to thank God for his gifts. God gives us the ability and the talent, Geno continued. As Christians, we want to be sure to give that back immediately. Geno sees the incident as just another attack on Christianity in our country. I think people have forgotten that we settled in this land to flee religious persecution, he said. Were supposed to have religious freedom here. But it seems like instead of religious freedom we are being persecuted for our beliefs. Dante confirmed that he does not intend to change his actions in future games. What do you think? Do you support the Turos and their dedication to their faith? 
3	Free Range Parents Cleared: CPS Declares Kids Playing Outside Alone is Not NeglectBy selfnews Post The generation that grew up as latchkey kids is now being called free range parents if they let their children play outside unattended. And theyre being charged with neglect. Today its being reported thatCPS has cleared parents Danielle and Sasha Meitiv of a second case of neglect. They were cleared of wrongdoing in their first case less than a month ago. No harm ever befell the children except when they were kidnapped by overzealous authorities and kept away from their loving parents. Due to the outrage caused by this case, the Maryland Department of Human Resources was forced to issue a new statewide policy stating children walking or playing outside alone is not neglect and does not warrant the intervention unless the children are in danger or at risk. why live in america, it is a nazi country now, leave america and find a another place to live, my suggestion, go south way south If there were really any place that was a better place to live, but there is not. All of those places limit the right to arms, which means the people are under total control of the government with almost no chance of being able to do anything against a tyrannical state. All are more socialist that the US. There is really no escape. We need to make plans to make our stand here. If the US falls, this will truly be a prison planet. They need to lower our taxes and get rid of free range government workers with nothing to do. The only things we have to fear are: politicians, Nanny Land, and Big Brother. Forced em to use common sense huh?? Imagine what goes through the minds of the kids. Theyll carry this with them for the rest of their lives: being snatched off the streets by Authorities and held in strange institutional surroundings without any rational explanation. You can bet when the time comes to stand up and be counted theyll maintain a very low, very paranoid profile. I and nearly every child I knew growing up was free range. Im sure we all turned out terrible, but I dont imagine having adult supervision every minute of the day wouldve done much more than make us all completely neurotic (the grown-ups, as well).

The arenas public address announcer later declared there would be exciting 'playoff' T-shirt cannon parties in the next few weeks, but sources said hockey-playing men are expected to ruin those too. 
1	According to an alarming report released Friday by the United Nations, nearly 40 million acres of personal space were lost around the world in 2015, with data showing these vitally important yet extremely vulnerable regions are being wiped out at the fastest rate on record. During the last calendar year, the steady encroachment of humans led to a reduction in personal space of about eight percent worldwide, which works out to a loss of more than a square foot for every man, woman, and child on earth, said the reports lead author, Irene Anderson, who noted that personal space has shrunk by more than half since the mid-1900s. We must act quickly and decisively to protect our current personal boundaries if theres any hope of preserving what little personal space we still have left. If we do not drastically change our behavior, its very possible that future generations might grow up in a world where a comfortable buffer zone between them and others simply doesnt exist. The U.N. report warned that the worldwide loss of personal space was rapidly approaching a critical tipping point, placing the global population at extreme risk of catastrophic crowding and jostling. 
2	Obama Campaign Donor and Acquaintance Charged with Manslaughter Well, it appears that the Obama administration is not yet finished with the recent onslaught of controversies. It appears that a major Obama donor was just charged with manslaughter. As if that wasnt enough, hes also being charged with bribing a group of medical professionals, bringing in millions of dollars in the process. According to recent reports, Kareem Ahmed, the CEO of Landmark Medical Management, is accused of developing topical cream formulas based on the profitability of the ingredients and brining doctors who treated workers compensation patients to prescribe them. In the process, Ahmed dished out nearly $25 million dollars worth of bribes. He is also being associated with false insurance claims that resulted in significant kickbacks for the doctors involved. Charges for manslaughter against Ahmed claim that he did unlawfully and without malice kill Andrew G. (a minor) in the commission of a lawful act which might produce death, in an unlawful manner and without due caution and circumspection. Ahmed has donated approximately $1 million to pro-Obama initiatives.

3	Here Comes the Pain: Detroit To Significantly Cut Vested Pensions For RetireesMac Slavo Government employees may currently enjoy higher salaries and benefits than the private sector, but they have been given a false sense of security. Whether you are a police officer, fireman, school teacher, or utility worker, you could have serious problems down the road. Chances are that every major metropolitan area in the country is heavily in the red. This means that the jobs and retirement futures of millions of people are under threat. [The only] option will be for ex-Federal governments to start reducing benefits and firing workers. Just two years on were seeing the warnings manifest in the real world. Once again, we focus the microscope on Detroit, which to those paying attention, is Americas canary in the coal mine signaling whats to come for the rest of the country. With the threat of a city bankruptcy looming, Detroit city workers and retirees are pushing back against the state-appointed emergency manager, filing lawsuits to limit his options and refusing to accept demands to keep details of their discussions secret. One lawsuit, filed in Ingham County Circuit Court in the state capital Lansing, seeks to stop Governor Rick Snyder from allowing the emergency manager, Kevyn Orr, to file Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy. That lawsuitclaims Orrs plan to significantly cut vested pensions would violate strong protections in the Michigan constitution for retirement benefits of public-sector workers. In his June 14 proposal to creditors, Orr listed pensions as unsecured debt of the city. Payment on pensions, retiree healthcare and $641 million of general obligation bonds all would be made from the citys proceeds from $2 billion of notes Orr plans to sell as part of his restructuring plan. The plan, if enacted, would be expected to result in significant cuts in pension payments. Although the city currently lists $643.7 million in unfunded pension liabilities, Orr in his report said the number is closer to $3.5 billion if more realistic assumptions are taken into account. Pensions generally are considered off limits in bankruptcies, Nicholson said. Its very, very rare for any entity to go after peoples pensions because it puts people in the poor house, he said. The push back from labor groups is a new front in a growing resistance to Orrs efforts. Notice that everyone assumes the unfunded liabilities are $640 million, but in reality, once you start looking at the numbers, the city owes five times as much $3.5 billion! Thats a significant miscalculation. Its very simple to figure out what happens here using basic arithmetic. Labor unions and city employees can sue the city to their hearts content. This will not change the facts: Theres no money. See, this is the problem at its root. The unions bargained in bad faith, either knowing factually or being in possession of enough information to know that what they were asking for couldnt be provided. It was fiscally impossible given the projected increase in cost over the retiree lifetimes. They didnt care and they bludgeoned the city and its people into approving these contracts anyway. The problem is that the only remaining options are to take some fraction of the original amount which can actually be paid or get nothing. And the longer they wait and the harder they push the closer to zero their recovery becomes, as the cost of litigation takes from the recovery and in addition the city continues to decay and will keep doing so until it is fiscally restored to a sound foundation with its taxes and spending brought both into balance and to a competitive level. Kevyn Orr doesnt have to concede anything. He holds the whip hand in that the city is a wasting asset and the longer the unions keep screwing around and screaming the less they get. Karl Denningers Market Ticker This is a nationwide problem. If you are a government employee, a labor union member, or even a retiree from the private sector, you had better be looking for ways to protect your current retirement portfolio or find yourself a new source of income, because that money youve been promised is going to be wiped out. The pain is coming and millions of Americans will end up in the poor house as a result. BET ON IT: Weve discussed the coming wave of State and local defaults, and it appears that the end game is close Eventually, the Federal government will hit its (real) debt ceiling as well. That will happen when no one else but The Federal Reserve will buy the US Treasurys debt issues, at which point the retirement accounts, 401ks, savings and dollar denominated assets of every American will be completely and utterly destroyed. No worries, right? Because they told you that YOUR retirement account is perfectly safe and those investments youve spent your entire life acquiring are in good hands. Do you really want to keep pretending this isnt happening? Mac Slavos many articles can be found on his site SHTFplan.com, where this article first appeared. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	Supreme Court Justice Slams Police For Shoot First, Think Later MentalityBy Carey Wedler The 2010 case involved Israel Leijas Jr., who had had been stopped by a Tulia, Texas, officer and informed he was wanted on a previously issued warrant. Leijas sped away, commencing a chase that reached speeds from 85 to over 100 miles per hour. As the chase began, the initial officer warned that Leijas might be intoxicated. Leijas reportedly called police multiple times from his cell phone during the chase to warn officers he had a gun and would fire at them if they attempted to capture him. Though officers planned to put spikes on the road at three different locations in an attempt to halt Leijas vehicle, Texas Department of Public Safety State Trooper Chad Mullenix wanted to shoot directly at the car to stop it. When he radioed his superior, Robert Byrd, to ask for permission, he was told to stand by until the car passed over spikes situated near an overpass where Mullenix was located. Byrd wanted to see if the spikes would effectively stop the vehicle before taking further action. Moments before the car reached the spikes, however, Mullenix began firing at the vehicle in direct defiance of Byrds orders. The car skidded into the spikes and flipped two and a half times. Though Leijas was killed in the vehicle, authorities determined he had not been killed by the crash, but by Mullenixs bullets. The officer shot six times, hitting Leijas in the upper body four times. Leijas family sued, arguing Mullenix used excessive force in violation of the Fourth Amendment. Mullenix argued he was entitled to the qualified immunity often granted to public officials when they act in the line of duty. Though Mullenix initially prevailed after several court battles, in 2014, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the prior ruling. Instead, it decided Mullenix was not entitled to immunity because the immediacy of the risk Leija posed was disputable. On Monday, the Supreme Court overturned that decision, finding Mullenix entitled to immunity and therefore exonerated of his charges. In its unsigned per curiam ruling, the court said, The doctrine of police immunity protects all but the plainly incompetent or those who knowingly violate the law, NBC reported, noting the court added its previous rulings have never said that the use of deadly force during a dangerous car chase is automatically a constitutional violation. That conclusion was likely all but decided before the case even reached the Supreme Court. The court ruled onMullenix v. Luna using only written briefings. It never heard verbal arguments or conducted a trial, which indicates a sign that a majority of the justices considered the issue so clear cut that further briefing and courtroom argument were unnecessary, NBC explained. Only one justice, Sonia Sotomayor, objected to the opinion and in doing so, indicted a philosophy that permeates police conduct in the United States. She first noted that Mullenix fired six rounds in the dark at a car traveling 85 miles per hour. He did so without any training in that tactic, against the wait order of his superior officers, and less than a second before the car hit spike strips deployed to stop it. She argued that had the majority on the court correctly interpreted the case, they would have been left with no choice but to conclude that Mullenix ignored the longstanding and well-settled Fourth Amendment rule that there must be a governmental interest not just in seizing a suspect, but in the level of force used to effectuate that seizure. Sotomayor concluded: By sanctioning a shoot first, think later approach to policing, the Court renders protections of the Fourth Amendment hollow. In spite of her captivating dissent, the Supreme Court ruling signals an ominous future for further police brutality cases brought before the nations highest court.

If he hadnt been ordered to stand down, I wouldnt have much issue with this, plus I dont think the cop is in any way prosecutable in the first place, how this one made it to the supreme court is beyond me. If Leijas hadnt called in to say he had a gun and he wasnt going 100, different story. Would prefer the officer had followed orders and not been an adrenaline charged violent maniac, but too late for that. Yes, just one more reason why EVERYBODY should derail the entire legal system by exposing the fraud that it is based upon! The next time someone goes into a courtroom, what would happen if they were to present the so-called judge with a legally binding affidavit that at no time at all would they commit nor allow others to commit any kind of fraud? You see, the entire legal system is nothing but a fraud, so they would have to just dismiss the case! What judge, if he or she was really honest and unbiased, would refuse to sign such a document?? ONLY the criminals running a scam will not guarantee you that youre not going to be cheated and back up that promise with some kind of iron clad proof or recourse for you. They will move on to easier pickings every time. Randy But Isnt that affidavit or contract also only enforceable thru that same legal system? See how it is Oh good friggin grief!! Of COURSE it wouldnt get even one inch in the criminal legal system!! But thats not the point at all, cant you see that? The whole point is to get them between the rock of do they make a promise in the courtroom that they cannot possibly keep because the ENTIRE legal system is nothing but a fraud, and the hard place of admitting that they DO intend to commit fraud upon you!! Its sort of like if someone asks you to answer yes or no to the question Do you still beat your wife?. If you say yes, then you are admitting to currently being a wife beater, and if you answer no, then you are admitting that you used to beat your wife. Either way, you will lose status in the eyes of many people for beating your wife. Unless you subscribe to certain religions where men are required to beat their wife into submission. So you have to say (if its true that is) I have never struck my wife at any time, or something like that. Randy Okay, A) I was being facetious with my reply because I didnt realize your idea was like some super serious plan, B) youre idea is f*cking retarded. The when did you stop beating your wife thing is called the loaded question fallacy. Youre presuming the person is guilty. So your master plan is to get them to sign a document BASED on a logical fallacy which apparently you dont even know to call it that. Really? Thats enough right there to just say forget it. Because thats stupid. But, since you decided to insult me Ill continue tearing down your absolutely ridiculous, non-starter of a terrible infantile idea to shreds. Just because. How about procedure. Have you researched this? At what point should you submit it? And so on. You cant just invent a document and force a judge to sign it or throw the case out. It just doesnt work that way. You have no power to do that. Doesnt matter what it says it asks, thats insane. I dont know how else to put it. You have zero power to force the judge to sign an autograph much less a document. Then, finally, theres the fact that every judge, and lawyer too, they ALREADY have to expressly promise that they wont commit fraud, or any crime, in the course of their duties. Like a witness swears an oath, they more or less take an oath to even attain their positions. I believe theres an extra layer of oaths for a judge. If they do commit fraud, they get disbarred. If its bad enough, and its proven, they go to jail. Think of the one in Pennsylvania, taking kickbacks from a private prison. Many many years. But wait, how does a criminal go to jail if the entire system is based on fraud? No, it may not work very well, in fact it barely works at all for us non-millionaires. But the system is BASED on being a neutral arbiter of facts- tacitly speaking, fraud-free. And if the other side or the judge DOES commit fraud, you have to prove it anyway, even IF they signed your dumb document. Making it irrelevant, on top of useless, on top of nonsensical, on top of duplicative. And as far as being in the matrix, wow- Im not defending the system, Im just aware of how it actually works. You, however, might want to get out of the fantasy world where you can overcome this system and all the power it has with a piece of paper and a loaded question. Yeah, well DUH!! Of course its a loaded question, thats the whole point of it. Its loaded because its easy for anyone who is willing to look, to see the facts for themselves, that the legal system operators are all criminals ripping people off! And they ARE all guilty of committing fraud upon the court! Ever heard of that legal phrase before? Look it up sometime. Youre either a lieyer, some kind of shill/troll or an apologist for the totally corrupted legal system. Maybe all four! You need to read my treatise The Scam of the Legal System sometime, or The Holes in the Legal System. WHERE is the logical fallacy? Have you ever read The Seven Elements of Jurisdiction? How about the definition of the words contract or fraud in a law dictionary? And if youre really in the mood for an education in law, read The Maxims of Law sometime. My deceased friend Kent told me several years ago about a lieyer he had known, who won every single case he ever took on by just getting them dismissed! How did he do it? All hed do is see which maxims of law were being violated, point them out to the so-called judge, and that would be that! But Im sure youll say thats impossible, without explaining why. Let me tell you this right now, the legal system CANNOT and MUST NOT be exposed as violating its own rules, regulations and procedures. If it does, then their fraud is exposed and it stands completely naked. From WHERE does our obligation to be defrauded come from?? If we have no obligation to endure someones fraud, then we are IMMUNE from it. Savvy? From where do you get that crap about the maggots in the legal system having already promised that they will not commit fraud? Talk about total delusions! Ever read section 14 of the Corpus Juris Secondum, where it talks about the relationship between the attorney and the client? Yeah, tell me that theres no fraud at all going on there, Bub. These so-called judges NEVER swear a proper oath of office, so theyre committing fraud before they hear even their very first case! The system is NOT based upon some noble, but false idea of being a neutral arbiter of facts! If it was, inconvenient evidence would never be suppressed at trial. Jury nullification would be a perfectly acceptable means for people to be found innocent, Mr. Perry Mason wannabe. I dont have to prove fraud was committed except by merely showing that it happened! Again, your ignorance of the meaning of the word fraud shows just how little you really do know about law. Think about this now; ANY alleged contract can be vacated for fraud, threat, duress, coercion, mistake, illegality, impossibility, insanity, immorality or minority of age. If even just ONE of the five essential elements of a contract are violated, to any degree at all, then the whole thing is void ab initio. Randy shoot first, think later (we should say nerver) is a US mentality. See what dummy Obombomb do! Dont get to excited. If it had been a fed shed have ruled the other way. 
2	Obamas Classmate Comes Forward With Massive Accusations Against Suicide Bomber Obama [VIDEO] According to recent reports, Obamas former classmate from Columbia University has come forward with some interesting information about our President. Root claims that Obama was taught about the Cloward-Piven plan, designed to destroy capitalism by overwhelming the system with spending, entitlements, regulations and debt. According to Root, the plan has serious consequences, including economy comes to a halt, full-time jobs are killed, businesses fail in record numbers, the middle class is murdered financially, the debt implodes and the economy is overwhelmed. Root believes that one of the most dangerous threats to America is Obama and his perspectives. In fact, he believes that Obama wants people under duress so that they can view the government as a savior. Ultimately, Root believes that Obama intends to create a socialist state. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is Obama a serious threat to America?

3	DDT: A Possible Alzheimers and Autism ConnectionCatherine J Frompovich After reading that list, what thoughts come to mind? If you are like most folks, you probably are thinking, toxic chemicals and maybe you would not be wrong. Here are some facts about each: Saccharine, which previously was considered a potential health hazard, as of December 14, 2010, no longer is. Hmmm. I wonder why? Aspartame is surrounded in controversyincluding that its considered the most dangerous thing added to many foods today. Agent Orange was the chemical sprayed during the Vietnam War that damaged the health of U.S. troops along with contaminating Vietnamese citizens and their environment. See Agent Orange-attributed Vietnamese birth defect victims here. BST and what it doesthat affects milk and its production. Roundup, the worlds number one selling herbicide with the chemical glyphosate has been attributed to causing pre- and post-natal toxicity in Wistar rat studies. Organochlorines include DDT, DDD, Chlordane, Aldrin, Dieldrin, Endrin, Heptachlor epoxide, PCBs, and Dioxin, which I discuss in detail 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. At present, there is a comment period [Docket #APHIS-2013-0042] open from January 10 to February 24, 2014 for the public to give opinions/comments to USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack as to why the Dow petition for approval of its GM seeds should or not be granted. Please consider this from the Pesticide Action Network (PAN): Noted agricultural scientist Charles Benbrook projects that widespread planting of Dows Enlist corn alone could trigger as much as a 25-fold increase in use of 2,4-D, from an estimated 4.2 million pounds at present to over 100 million pounds by 2019. The Pesticide Action Network has an online petition readers may want to check out and sign if so inclined to not want to eat non-labeled, DDT-resistant corn and soy in addition to the non-labeled glyphosate-resistant soy and bt-corn that already saturate food markets and processed foods. PANs online petition is here. I signed! However, there is something that no one apparently is talking about with regard to DDT. That something seemingly is that there is an apparent connection between DDT and Alzheimer Disease! A recent study published in JAMA Neurology indicates that Alzheimers may be associated with probable environmental risk factors from exposure to a byproduct of the pesticide DDT. [2] Ironically, DDT had been banned in the USA since 1972, but now its up for approval to be sprayed on 2,4-D-resistant GM-food crops! What are they thinking? Still, that presents another reason to grow and/or purchase certified organically-grown food. However, such certification may be considered dubious because of herbicide/pesticide aerial spray drift and chemtrail toxinsoverhead descending along with toxic rain. But, organic still is the way to go because it eliminates most of the toxic man-made chemicals used in industrial agriculture, conventional farming, and animal husbandry. To recognize chemtrails, compare the difference between a legitimate airplane exhaust contrail and a deliberately sprayed chemtrail in the photo below. Jason R. Richardson, PhD, co-authored several studies relating to Alzheimer Disease and pesticides levels that readers may want to check out here. On the other hand, readers may want to consider something else associated with chemical exposure and pollution. Recently, science has been finding a dramatic connection between chemical toxicity and Autism Spectrum Disorders. See this, this, and this. So, if autism is being associated with pollution (from chemicals) exposure, then shouldnt government health agencies and professional medical societies be doing something about pressuring makers and purveyors of toxic chemicals and chemtrail sprayers to clean up their act? Can you imagine how many new jobs could be created if chemical companies were to implement reverse engineering to clean up the environment? Mr. President, theres an idea for you. However, as it stands because of USDAs probable 2,4-D ruling-in-the-making, pregnant women will be exposed to more toxic chemicals via the food they eatespecially when it is GM-grown; from FDA-approved vaccines they are being prodded into taking while pregnant, which contain numerous toxins including neurotoxins, that can cross the placenta into the growing fetus and maybe even induce miscarriages, and has been documented in the CDCs VAERS reportsand the Gary Goldman, PhD, study here. Before I end this, Id like to remind readers that toxic chemical effects are increased multi-fold when they co-exist with other exacerbating features such as vaccine chemicals that are injected directly into a persons body and, ultimately, the bloodstream. Some ingredients in vaccines are designed to transport man-made toxic chemicals across the blood brain barrier into the brain, which should not occur according to Nature. Combine those neurotoxic effects with toxins in the environment, food, water, and what are the results we can expect? Alzheimers and Autism Spectrum Disorder, among other problems. Thats not a difficult nor farfetched stretch to make since science now is saying that chemical pollution contributes to both neurological afflictions. Unequivocally, vaccines contain toxic chemicals. Chapter 2 in my book Vaccination Voodoo, What YOU Dont Know About Vaccines tells it like it is: Loads of chemicals! For the life of me, I cannot figure out why medical doctors cant understand the pseudo-scientific hype they are willing to accept about vaccines, and then wonder why there is so much autism and other childhood health anomalies. I contend the medical profession contributes to that increase by swallowing hook, line, and sinker, the unimaginable quack science that toxic chemicals injected into pregnant mothers, newborns, infants, and toddlers cannot create brain anomalies, autoimmune disorders, and even death. But then, brain anomalies are occurring at both ends of the age spectrum: infants and senior citizens. Unquestionably, demographics support that younger age health horrors are concomitant with and seemingly rise proportionately with the increased vaccine schedules mandated by the U.S. CDC/FDA. See the Miller and Goldman 2011 study Infant mortality rates regressed against number of vaccine doses routinely given: Is there a biochemical or synergistic toxicity? What is it they arent getting, and why? As an afterthought, Id like to share with readers the review my book Vaccination Voodoo received January 30th from Natural News staff reporter, L.J. Devon.

1	Aspiring to provide a boost for the beaten down nation, members of the Germany national soccer team expressed hope Tuesday that a victory over Brazil in the World Cup semifinals will help lift up their countrymen following reports that their current unemployment rate sits at 5 percent. A win today would mean so much to Germany during tough times like these, said midfielder Thomas Muller, confirming that a strong showing on the pitch has the potential to offer a much-needed escape, if only for one afternoon, to a country currently facing the bitter reality of ranking behind four other nations on the Human Development Index. We know that we cant change the fact that our average countrymans life expectancy is 80.89 years, or that were still waiting on a high-speed rail line to connect Hanau and Gelnhausen. But maybe, in some small way, we can use this game today to remind everyone that it is still a great thing to be a German. Muller added that he and the team intend on praying before the game for the growing segment of the German population reportedly dissatisfied with their universal health care. 
3	NSA at work: Do you have a secret social profile?Jon Rappoport NSA may have built an extensive social profile on you. The NY Times reports (9/28): NSA Gathers Data on Social Connections of US Citizens. Its a long piece, and its pinned to the idea that the NSA can track US residents who are connected to foreign citizens of interest. Presumably this means the foreign citizens are suspected terrorists. Well, not necessarily. No. As is often the case with the NY Times, the real nuggets are buried down deep in the story. So Ive dug them out and assembled them more cogently. In other words, Ive re-edited the Times piece to make things clearer. Youre welcome. Do NSAs foreign targets have to be suspected terrorists? To get on the radar, qualifications could include anything from ties to terrorism, weapons proliferation or international drug smuggling to[being] foreign politicians, business figures or activists. Boom. Get the picture? NSA is spying on foreign politicians, business people, and activists. Thats a broad population. And of course, activists could be stumping for a wide variety of causes, including the right to privacy from snoopers. By implication, that means NSA could shape a social profile of any American with serious or casual ties to these politicians, business people, and activists. So much for believing NSA would only target Americans with connections to foreign terror suspects. Thats a fairy tale for the masses. Well, emails and phone records, right? Sure. Is that it? Not by a long shot. bank codes, insurance information, Facebook profile, passenger manifests, voter registration rolls and GPS location information [where you are right now], as well as proprietary records and unspecified tax data. The NSA states they have a profile template of 164 relationship typesusing queries like travelsWith, hasFather, sentForumMessage, employs. Translation: NSA builds a social profile of a person by spying to obtain info on 164 categories of activity, behavior, and status of that target. How do you like it? You could be an acquaintance of a businessman in France. The NSA has targeted him, and theyve come across you in the processso they access all the data and records mentioned above, to come at you on 164 vectors. To put the cherry on the cake, your phone and email logsallow [NSA] analysts toacquire clues to religious or political affiliationsregular calls to a psychiatrists office, late-night messages to an extramarital partner Blackmail, anyone? Yes, you say, this is horrible, but NSAs spying activity only covers a relatively few Americans. Wrong. Lets go to another quote from the Times article: An NSA program called Mainway in 2011 was taking in 700 million phone records per day. In August 2011, it began receiving an additional 1.1 billion cellphone records daily from an unnamed American service provider under Section 702 of the 2008 FISA Amendments Act, which allows for the collection of the data of Americans if at least one end of the communication is believed to be foreign And thats not enough. No. the agency [NSA] is pouring money and manpower into creating a metadata repository capable of taking in 20 billion record events daily and making them available to NSA analysts within 60 minutes. One subject the Times article didnt cover: what happens when the NSA assembles a profile on an American who has casual ties to, say, a European businessman? Are they going to stop there? What about that Americans social connections here in the US? The American knows the cousin of a lawyer whos speaking out against government surveillance. That cousin knows the mother of a child who was suspended from school for displaying the picture of a gun on his computer Obviously, NSA wants the ability to spy on everybody all the time. But dont worry. Keith Alexander, the head of NSA, assures us that everything the Agency is doing is legal, above-board, and necessary to keep us safe. By safe, he means: NSA will spy on us 24/7 so the information can be used to create one huge system of tracking and control. Control of life. Regulated life. Algorithms that determine the shape of the dystopia we are entering.

Now, things are taking an ugly turn as Obama is trying to shut the militia down once and for all. In what seems to be a move of vengeance, the Bureau of Land Management was just caught on camera doing an uncontrolled burn in Price Glenn, Oregon. Footage shows livestock being burned alive, and when ranchers try to interfere, they are threatened with arrest. Basically, the BLM were burning the ranchers grass, Ammon Bundy told reporters. I want you to understand that this video was filmed less than two weeks from the day the Hammonds were sentenced for starting a fire themselves. Last night, nobodys around, they lit the fire right here, close to everybodys houses, the narrator tells viewers. Were going to have a hell of a lot of fire come evening. What do you think? Do you support the militia standing up for our rights? Is what Obama doing criminal? Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	Saying she had proven herself to be a formidable contender worthy of respect, GOP leaders announced Thursday that Carly Fiorina had been officially promoted to a male candidate after her strong showing in last nights primary debate. Given her steady rise in the polls and her consistent performance on the national stage, we have determined that Ms. Fiorinas skills as a speaker and compelling ideas about foreign and domestic policy merit her recognition as male, said Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus, adding that the former Hewlett-Packard CEO had impressed GOP officials with her breadth of knowledge, her confidence, and her ability to doggedly attack both Democrats and her primary opponents, and therefore deserved to have the label of female removed entirely. We are pleased to be able to offer Ms. Fiorina the increased respect and media coverage that come with being a male candidate. Allow me to be the first to congratulate him and say that he has certainly earned it. Priebus added that the committee was still reviewing Marco Rubios performance, but was strongly considering promoting him to white.

Christians everywhere are applauding the latest announcement from the inauguration committeesix prominent religious figures will speak at the eventincluding Franklin Graham. Cardinal Timothy Dolan will reportedly start the ceremony, followed with reads and invocations from pastor Paula White and Rev. Samuel Rodriguez of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference. Franklin Graham was an early supporter of Trump. I dont have any scientific information, I dont have a stack of emails to read to you, Graham recently said. But I have an opinion. I believe it was God. God showed up. He answered the prayers of hundreds of thousands of people across this land who have been praying for this country. Tom Barrack, the chairman of the Presidential Inaugural Committee, also commented on the faith leaders who will be appearing at the ceremony. Since the first inaugural ceremony, our leaders have paid tribute to the blessings of liberty that have been bestowed upon our country and its people, Barrack commented. I am pleased to announce that a diverse set of faith leaders will offer readings and prayers at the swearing-in of President-elect Trump and honor the vital role religious faith plays in our multicultural, vibrant nation. What do you think of Trumps line-up? 
3	After The March Against Monsanto, Momentum Favors The PeopleJefferey Jaxen Years of brave activism and mobilized populations of unhappy mothers, disenfranchised farmers, and educated consumers have brought us to this point. Surging forward comes the real work with instant rewards. Led by the recent examples of Mike Adams Forensic Food Lab and the continuous work of the Food Babes army going mainstream, it is clear that companies fear our voice and will instantly comply to the peoples wishes. How do we keep the heat on Monsanto? The companys actions have shown us that their plan will move forward at all costs. So it is up to us to take the reigns and destroy their market share by voting with our dollars. You money is your megaphone, your soapbox, and your most important vote. This is a fact cemented in the pages of historys empty political promises and arrogant corporate attitudes. We have always been taught throughout life that change would require a struggle. Yet, regaining your right to be healthy, eat healthy, and live absent from the constant assault of weaponized food is perhaps the most energizing struggle you could engage in. Plus its a real community builder! Know Your Farmer Most independent farmers these days struggle to make a living unless the are subsidized byMonsanto, Dow, et al. That is why supporting those farmers that choose to go it alone and use organic methods and non-GM seed is now vital. Learn who those individuals/families are and support them. Now is the time. Evey dollar in their pocket is one taken directly from the GMO machine. Grow your own This is the best option and truly gives a win-win. By growing your own you will know where your food is coming from, that its organic, non-gmo, and free. All are luxuries that are slipping through the hands of everyone on this planet. For the non-gardeners, gather neighbors and utilize the monocropping technique. This is accomplished by having each participant grow one crop. You can see in a neighborhood of ten participants there would be greater variety and more yield than any one individual could do alone. In addition, you only have to specialize in learning to grow and harvest one type of plant. Keep The Social Media Heat We have won the hearts and minds of the people. While plowing through this tipping point, its important to keep circulating information via all social media platforms. When petitions become large enough, the right people listen. Since our wishes have continually fallen upon the deaf, unempathetic ears of Monsanto and the man who calls himself president, its time to start focusing on smaller targets. Individual companies and suppliers can be affected. Subway, Whole Foods, McDonalds, Jell-O etc. have all recently witnessed this first hand. Pressure put on them via social media, petitions, and emails to remove GMO in large numbers will serve to disrupt profit margins, take over board meetings, and steer internal policy. In a beautiful twist of fate, those companies then join our sounding board pointed at Monsanto et al. Do you think Monsanto could ignore scores of large corporations terminating business with it because they find themselves no longer profitable from a simple social media campaign or collective movement to boycott GMOs? Game over! You can read more from Jefferey Jaxen at his site where this first appeared.

Though these guys are struggling to perform with a system that is barely functional at this point, its a testament to their resiliency and heart that theyll be suiting up for us this year, NCAA president Mark Emmert told reporters, emphasizing that the players are prepared to give it their all despite telltale symptoms of a fractured athletic association further compounded by a totally unstable compensation structure. Given the severity of the situation, a lot of people dont think these guys should even be taking the field in the first place, but Im confident that theyll be able to play through it. Obviously at some point were going to have to just go in there and completely rebuild it. The good news, at least, is that the damage cant possibly get any worse. Emmert added that in the event that playing with a broken NCAA system leads to any career-ending injuries, the athletes are easily replaceable. 
1	Claiming that such incidents can really mess with your head if youre not careful, Federal Aviation Administration officials on Monday urged Lee Kang-kook, the Asiana Airlines pilot who crash-landed a commercial airliner at San Francisco International Airport last weekend, to get back out there and start flying again. The more you dwell on this one crash, the more youll start second-guessing yourself, so the best thing to do right now is to just put last Saturday behind you, get back into the cockpit, and find your wings again, bud, FAA head Michael Huerta told Kang-kook, stressing that for the sake of his confidence, right now would be the absolute worst time to quit. You think every pilot is perfect at flying these Boeing 777s right away? You just have to accept that these crashes are part and parcel of the learning process and not let one bad landing get in your head. Youll only get better with more practice. After all, how are you ever going to get better if you quit now, ya big goof? Huerta added that it would be a real shame for Kang-kook to give up now, since he is still only 11 flights away from getting his license to fly 777 aircrafts. 
1	According to law enforcement personnel and dozens of distraught eyewitnesses, packs of savage, ferocious House Republicans are currently running loose through the nations capital, causing mayhem and bloodshed on a mass scale following the departure of their longtime caretaker, John Boehner. The crazed and vicious GOP representatives, who are said to be howling wildly and wearing the tattered remains of business attire, reportedly worked themselves into a frenzy after Boehner failed to attend to them earlier today and subsequently broke free from the House chamber. Sources confirmed that the elected officials have since carved a trail of chaos and destruction through the city, attacking civilians along the National Mall, running amok through Metro tunnels, overturning cars, and storming numerous federal office buildings. Hundreds are believed dead. At this time, we can confirm that we have captured Representatives Steve King, Mark Meadows, and Don Young, but the other 243 escaped congressmen remain at large and should be considered extremely dangerous, said D.C. police chief Cathy Lanier amid piles of wreckage and large pools of blood in the Capitol rotunda, explaining that the carnage began on the House floor when an agitated member of the Freedom Caucus picked up an American flag stand and drove it through the heart of Rep. Dave Reichert (R-WA), who had voted earlier this week in favor of a compromise budget deal. We understand the pandemonium erupted immediately after the caretakers resignation became effective, causing the horde of frenzied representatives to rip the House chambers door off its hinges and pour down the Capitol steps and out into the city. I cannot emphasize enough that without vigilant caretaking, these representatives can become unstable and violent at a moments notice, she continued. Until authorities are able to safely tranquilize and net them, we recommend all residents seek shelter indoors. Because Boehner was reportedly all that maintained order among the wild bands of House Republicans, Beltway insiders said his absence all but ensured that anarchy, derangement, and fervent bloodlust would reign over the legislative bodys majority caucus. Indeed, shortly after the lawmakers convened this morning, a visibly raving Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy allegedly began jumping up and down on the rostrum, riling up his GOP colleagues, while House Sergeant at Arms Paul D. Irving, unable to gain a handle on the situation, was said to have been trampled to death when members decided to bolt for the exits. Onlookers confirmed traffic has been completely stalled on K Street by an ongoing confrontation between a potentially rabid Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-SC) and a blood-spattered Rep. Bill Flores (R-TX), both of whom have spent the past several hours bearing their teeth, snarling, and wildly charging at each other in a brutal attempt to establish dominance. Additionally, widespread blackouts in the D.C. area were reported after a manic Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) gnawed through a power line and electrocuted herself. Its absolutely terrifying; I saw Representative Jeb Hensarling wandering down the middle of Constitution Avenue dragging a lifeless congressional page behind him, said D.C. resident Harold Peters, who added that he nearly took pity on a bruised, visibly shell-shocked, and completely naked Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) he had seen muttering to himself and rocking back and forth in the fetal position beside a bonfire of historical documents outside the National Archives. And I dont think Ill ever be able to erase from my mind the horrible screams that [Treasury Secretary] Jacob Lew made when he got cornered by the Oversight and Government Reform Committee behind the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. By the time [Rep.] Jason Chaffetz started throwing him around like a rag doll, there was nothing we could do. Those poor moderates in their pack didnt stand a chance, either, he added, noting the recent discovery of various severed body parts belonging to Reps. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), Peter King (R-NY), and Charlie Dent (R-PA) floating in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Many D.C. residents said they are too frightened to leave their homes, citing in particular a delirious Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR), who was said to have hissed at passersby as he shredded pages of gun control legislation in Dupont Circle, and the failed attempts by local police to use a signed authorization for the Keystone XL pipeline to coax a torch-wielding Policy Committee Chairman Luke Messer (R-IN) down from the roof of the Energy Department building, where he continues to hold several hostages, his hair matted in dirt and excrement. Furthermore, eyewitness accounts indicate a berserk Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) has spent the past 20 minutes repeatedly running at full speed into the locked entrance of Planned Parenthoods D.C. headquarters, apparently attempting to break down its doors. Our law enforcement professionals will restore order to our streets and neighborhoods as soon as possible, but, clearly, our city needs to have a plan in place to ensure this never happens again, Washington mayor Muriel Bowser told reporters at a hastily convened press conference at her executive office, the sounds of civilians shrieking, National Guard helicopters, and occasional gunfire audible behind her. As much as Id like to believe the next caretaker of the House will be able to hold things together, its entirely possible theyll rip him to shreds within just a few months time and well be right back where we are now. She added: Lets be honest. That guy has no chance. 
2	VIDEO: Idiot Terrorist Stands To Close To Mortar, Accidentally Blows Himself Up Sometimes, fate does its job and gives people what they really deserve. Such is the case in this video that shows a terrorist meeting his maker while he attempts to launch bombs at an infidel in the distance. Unfortunately for him, he finds that big weapons arent meant to be messed with. Now, after firing off the first few shots at his enemy, one mortar fails to go the distance before detonating. As a result, a huge explosion takes place. Although we cant see it in the video, were pretty sure this terrorist got what was coming to him. UPDATE: Sorry the video has been removed. 
1	The war-torn West African nation of Angola, for decades wracked by violent power struggles among rival factions, was cast into further political turmoil Monday when a 40-pound anti-personnel land mine seized power and declared itself president for life. 'Today represents the dawn of a glorious new era for our nation,' said the landmine, which rose to power with the backing of Angola's estimated 40 million subterranean explosive devices. 'For too many years, we have been ignored by Angola's leaders, denied representation despite the fact that we outnumber the humans by a margin of four to one.' The new leader punctuated its remarks with periodic detonations, which blew off the legs of numerous nearby orphans. Though many Angolans are skeptical about having a non-sentient, man-made object designed to maim people as their leader, support for the mine appears to be growing. 'Killing and maiming thousands of innocent people has always been a crucial part of being president of Angola,' said Xassengue villager Biaro Opala, one of the nation's 3,000,000+ amputees. 'Who is better qualified for this task than a land mine?' 'This land mine will do at least as good a job governing Angola as our previous leaders,' triple-amputee Kwala N'ele said. 'It will also blow people's limbs and genitals off.' According to political observers, the land mine's ascent to power will likely pave the way for future non-human leaders in Angola. 'This land mine will open doors for other large but politically underrepresented African-Angolan groups, such as rocket-propelled grenade launchers and AK-47 assault rifles,' Yale University African Studies professor Ralph Langwell said. Langwell praised the land mine as a canny leader that may at last bring unity to a shattered nation. 'Waiting until now to seize power was a shrewd move on the part of this mine,' Langwell said. 'Using all of the innate skills typically possessed by land mines, it was smart enough to lay low for years, waiting until the Angolan political climate was just as volatile as the mine itself, and thenbang!take everyone by surprise.' 'The timing is right for a land-mine presidency,' he added. 'This is a leader people will think twice before walking all over.' 
2	Terrorist Blows Himself Up Trying To Launch Mortar [VIDEO] Every once in a while, we see a true moment of justice, where someone gets exactly what they have coming to them. And those moments are worth sharing. Such is the case with this footage, which shows on Muslim terrorist accidentally blowing himself up in an attempt to operate a mortar. There is no question that if fate hadnt intervened, this man probably would have done irreparable damage to innocent victims. Luckily, as karma would have it, he only ended up harming himself. Other victims havent been so lucky, but we can all share in moments like these. One way or another, these people will pay for their crimes. 
2	VIDEO: US Army Sgt. Veteran Is Reunited With His BombThis is incredible. There is nothing like seeing a dog owner be reunited with his dog. Not to mention they are both patriots to our country. US Army Sgt. Jason Bos spent 5 years with MWD Cila M389, the bomb-sniffing chocolate lab he called Cici. Jason and Cici bonded in Iraq as she helped sniff out roadside bombs and hidden weapons. Two years ago, Jason had to leave the army due to an injury and he was especially bummed because he thought he would never see Cici again. Then, Jason saw a Facebook post mentioning that Cici was retiring. When the pups kennel master contacted Jason to see if he was interested in adopting her, Jason couldnt say yes fast enough. When Cici flew to OHare airport in Chicago, Jason worried that she might not remember him, it had been two years after all. BarkPost Watch this video of Jason Bos being reunited with his dog. It will make your day. Do you think a dog and his owner share a special relationship unlike any other?

3	AIPAC Wants War on IranStephen Lendman, Contributor Virtually no one in Congress confronts it. Doing so is a career-ender. It has enormous influence over US Middle East policies affecting Israel, including war and peace. It disseminates disinformation, lies and hate. It viciously attacks opponents. It calls Iran the worlds leading state sponsor of terrorism and is racing toward a nuclear weapons capability. It manufactures threats to promote fear. It wants the Islamic Republic destroyed. It targets other regional states. It wants unchallenged Israeli regional dominance. James Petrassays its sole purpose is to ensure Israels unchallenged military and political power over a huge region from North Africa to the Persian Gulf. Its annual meeting is the most outrageous public display of Zionist-Jewish power as it shapes US foreign policy. It threatens to drag the US into another major war in the Middle East this time against Iran. Doing so is lawless, madness, and self-destructive. Its web site says While the World Talks, Iran Enriches; More Pressure Needed. A litany of disinformation and lies followed. The international community must dramatically increase pressure. Iran is believed to have carried out experiments on nuclear explosives. Satellite images indicate Iran has been working to cleanse (a suspect) site by removing buildings and soil. Irans nuclear capabilities have advanced. It fuel stockpile approaches nuclear weapons production capability. America must make clear that it will act to prevent Iran from achieving the capability to build a nuclear weapon at a time of its choosing. Contain(ing) a nuclear Iran is inadequate. US policy must reject any possibility of Tehran developing nuclear weapons. All options must be considered, including military action. Economic sanctions must be accelerated and crippling. Washington should do whatever it takes to prevent a nuclear Iran. AIPAC is a destructive, malevolent, evil force. Its heading Washington for war. Waging one on Iran assures losers, not winners. Israel may self-destruct in the process. Catastrophe will affect the region. America wont escape harm. War on Iran may go nuclear. Weapons of mass destruction may be used against a nonbelligerent state. The potential economic and human consequences are staggering. At issue is either stopping this madness or be consumed by it. Nuclear war leaves no middle ground. General Omar Bradley said the only way to win an atomic war is to make certain it never starts. It may be closer than most imagine. Congressional and administration sentiment reject containment. Preventing an Iranian nuclear capability is prioritized. Doing so heads America closer to war. Timing alone is unknown. In mid-August, Foreign Policy featured a debate of sorts.David Rothkopf headlined The Drums of August. Hes Foreign Policys CEO and Editor-at Large. Earlier he served as Kissinger Associates managing director and US Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade Policy. Israel is not bluffing, he said. The punch line about a boy crying wolf is that the wolf shows up. Reasons for attacking Iran are clearly growing more compelling for Israeli leaders. A litany of canards followed, including: Diplomacy isnt working. Sanctions alone arent enough. Irans nuclear program is accelerating. Its advancing closer to weapons capability. Tehran threatens to destroy Israel. It murder(ed) five Israeli tourists in Bulgaria. (Its) hard for Americans to grasp (its) existential threat. Failure to confront Iran is imprudent. He implies might equals right as the bottom red line. Stephen Walts view differs. He headlined Another reason the US shouldnt go to war with Iran, saying: Washington should avoid war. Its not in Americas interest. Diplomacy should be prioritized, not conflict. Policy makers mustnt get buffaloed into a war by Israel. He urges reengaging Iran directly. It makes so much sense, he stresses, even though AIPAC and other hardliners reject it. Together with Netanyahu, theyre heading America for war. Theyre paint(ing) the United States into a corner. Why is simple. Israel cant go it alone. It lacks enough power. It cant sufficiently damage Irans nuclear facilities without US help. Israel understands. Its pushing Washington into a war it shouldnt wage. Notions about closing windows, red lines, zones of immunity, and other rhetoric are political ploys to stifle diplomacy, strengthen sanctions, and pressure Washington to use force. Israel needs America for its heavy lifting. Netanyahu/Barak war talk is bluff, but one can scarcely blame Israel for employing a tactic that keeps working so well. Its our fault we keep falling for it. Walts argument falls short. Vital issues too important to ignore werent discussed. No evidence suggests an Iranian nuclear program. Nations with them dont lob them at each other or non-nuclear states. Aggressive war is lawless. Iran threatens no one. It urges peace, not war. It wants a nuclear free Middle East. Claiming an alleged nuclear threat is red herring cover for regime change. Attacking Iran may go nuclear. Doing so assures mass casualties. Israel will be affected like Iran. So will America, other regional nations, and Western ones. Anytime war is waged, its hell. Potential nuclear war is madness and self-destructive. Netanyahu and Barak allegedly set a September 25 deadline. Obamas got until then to commit to military action or Israel will go it alone. Israels US ambassador Michael Oren said Israel will attack even if destroying Irans nuclear facilities entirely isnt possible. Diplomacy hasnt succeeded, he said. Weve come to a very critical juncture where important decisions do have to be made. He added it wont be in the too far distant future. Oren also raised the bogus issue of an alleged Syrian chemical weapons threat. He suggested dealing with it might have to be prioritized. Earlier, Israel threatened to attack Syrian facilities where chemical weapons are stored. Doing so increases the likelihood of full-scale war. Israel is spoiling for a fight. Ideally it wants Washington to do its heavy lifting. Either way, it wants regional rivals removed. War is its final solution. A Final Comment Last March, Occupy AIPAC said AIPAC wants war with Iran. We dont! Its open letter to Congress said AIPAC is on the warpath this time with Iran. They say the US should be willing to attack Iran or support an Israeli attack. AIPAC pushed our government into the catastrophic war in Iraq by exaggerating Saddam Husseins threat and lying about weapons of mass destruction. Now they are repeating history, with AIPAC lobbyists vastly exaggerating Irans nuclear threat and eschewing negotiations. AIPAC continues to lobby for policies that prohibit a just peace for Israelis and Palestinians and support violations of international law. AIPACs views do not represent the values and interests of the majority of the American people who voted for you, who pay the taxes that fund our government, and whose family members serve in the U.S. military. The majority of Americans do not want another war in the Middle East and the US cant afford a war during the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. The Iraq war left thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis dead. We implore you not to repeat this tragic mistake. Say no to AIPAC, no to war with Iran and yes to diplomacy. Wars dont solve problems. They create them. War with Syria and/or Iran may cross a line too potentially catastrophic to risk. Priority one is stopping leaders willing to chance it.

Another 17 were injured. The three suspects have been on the loose. One of them has been identified as Syed Farook. Update: police have found the suspects and hundreds of shots were fired. One officer was injured. Two of the suspects were killed in the shootout. The other was taken into custody. We need to prevent tragedies like this from happening. It was only a week ago that the Colorado shooting happened. Should Americans arm themselves for protection? 
3	Government Agencies Battle Over Adverse Impact of Cell Tower Radiation on WildlifeKevin Samson However, there is also mounting evidence that these dangers extend to wildlife as cell towers are becoming more prevalent, deeper into previously non-explored areas. This potential threat to wildlife appears to be such that it has sparked an attack by the Department of the Interior against the FCC for what they claim are outdated standards. As youll read below, the FCCs current criteria is 30 years out of date. But in terms of sensitivity (not to mention the physical interaction with the towers), birds might be a much better indicator of the overall environmental impact. In the letter offered by the Department of the Interior to the FCC, they note the following information as evidence of why we should be concerned. The DOI letter concludes with their own 19 source list of research that backs up their concerns. It remains to be seen if, or how, the FCC will respond to this information. Whether or not one is ultimately concerned with the fate of birds, this just further illustrates how technology gets rolled out without proper long-term studies and considerations being offered. It is such short-term thinking that has resulted in the prevalence ofsmart meters and genetically modified organisms (GMO). We, as activists, are now placed in the difficult position of trying to undo massive industries with ever-growing resources. In this case, however, its a pretty good indication of how potentially harmful cell tower radiation is when one government agency openly attacks another and issues a reminder about their proper responsibilities for health and the environment. In lieu of bringing government agencies and reckless corporate entities fully to heel, we would do well to study how we can protect our own bodies at least from the effects of living in an electromagnetic soup. While some look to holistic methods, there are some interesting high-tech solutions to help thwart the high-tech invasion. Dylan Charles recently featured some positive developments from Teslas Innovational Technologies in Australia. If you have your own research or sources about solutions to the expanding threat of electromagnetic radiation, please leave your thoughts in the comment section. Full Department of Interior letter and report is available here. Hat Tip: Recently by Kevin Samson: 
2	VIDEO: Ferguson Rioters Rip Two Military Heroes To Pieces It is no secret that the riots in Ferguson have taken a violent turn for the worse. Mobs have flooded the streets following the shooting of unarmed teenager Mike Brown. Still, the lengths that the black community is willing to go are starting to shock American people. No to long ago, an incident left two veterans critically injured. In fact, one of the veterans who was injured may need surgery on his brain because of the severity of the demonstration. There is reason to believe that the mob who attacked him were racially motivated. The attack took place at a restaurant, while the former Iraq and Afghanistan soldier sat enjoying a meal. Now, he is in critical condition, fighting for his life instead of our country. The worst part is the lack of action from authorities to stop the action, and Americans are wondering if Obama will ever step up to the plate and get involved.

'Oh my God! Are you serious? Are you freakin' serious? I better go work on my out patterns,' said Saints wide receiver Marques Colston, who asked his equally excited teammates if they knew where the representative from Canton might be sitting during the game. 'It's the Hall of Fame, guys! The Hall of freakin' Fame!' Upon hearing the news, Colts quarterback Peyton Manning reportedly rushed to the team bathroom and began throwing up.

Full year sales growth of nearly 43% was driven in large part by our increased MP production. Demand remains strong across our product portfolio While we significantly increased our production capacity in fiscal 2013, we remained capacity constrained as we have in the past five quarters. We plan to continue intelligently increasing capacity in fiscal 2014. Sales for the quarter rose 37.6% year-over-year. Gross margins in the high 30s continue to expand He may be destroying the broader economy and impoverishing America, but we cant deny that President Barrack Obama is without a doubt the greatest gun salesman of all time. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	Exploring Our False RealityBy TruthstreamMedia Reality is this ridiculously stupid video. Sorry.but what would you expect in a technologic-advancing world. Every step is just that.a step to a new age. This video was a waste time because the auther does not recognize that technology is just an infatuation all brought to you by interface softwarenothing more. There is still is no substitute for taste, eating, sex, loving, caring, physical and mental stimulation and so on. The premise of this video is ridiculous.there is plenty of reality. Its just the age of infatuation (with tech) and the continuing american dream or pursuit of instantaneous gratification, selfishness and gluttony. Nothing could be more real than what people have become, and their loss of critical thinking and rationalizing. These tech toys are just that.toys that you eventually get tired of and move on to something else. Maybe its generational, or maybe not but regardless mother nature and survival will always present us with the reality of life. Ignore it at your peril. Technology may be hypnotizing folks, but just have one of them lose their precious i-phone and theyll be back to reality in an instant. Its just a distraction.an infatuation these toys. Nobody is allowed to escape to a virtual reality. You must deal with reality or die. I got rid of my cell phone almost 10 years ago and I have not missed it at all. I got rid of my TV 5 years ago and havent missed it either. I go online on my computer to see what truth I can find about the news of the day, but I find I have to take that with a grain of salt. I live in reality and interact with people, trying to stay in reality. Kudos Igcamp. I have a basic flip phone and thats it. Everyone in my family idolizes the new smartphones and they pay big bucks for that pleasures (well over $2000/year). Reality is a bitch and will be so for the haves in our society that believe they can never be affected by the economy or mother nature. Hyperinflation is coming and Ive read that its now far off. One author seems to believe that living expenses will quadruple (4 times !!). Yowser. And if you think you are safe in your paid=off house, think again. Your house value will be inflated also, and taxes will incur based on the inflated price. Thus, you will be paying 4 times in taxes, at least. You can thank the puppet government, the federal reserve and other international organizations (UN, BIS, IMF, etc) for this looming future. Everything is by design. That includes all the BS you see in the news including Syria, ISIS, Ukraine, planes missing, shootings, etc. There are lunatics in charge. Let;s hope we can identify them and deal with them before they destroy us all. Did you try to say something, or you were just condemning the authors? What do you get when you combine the former head of DARPA with the worlds largest corporation. Total control of a population planning. (this is two years past) this dovetails perfectly with Googles stated 10 yr. vision Googles IPO, a decade ago this And CEO Larry Page is determined to Pages vision is that Googles The companys driverless cars will chauffeur people People wont even have to bother leaving their homes, which will be made more comfortable and enjoyable Robots will handle tedious chores and other jobs, Internet-connected eyewear and watches will supplement Googles big bets are fueled by 
1	Stressing the need for immediate action to curb the increasingly worrying trend, the NFL released a new study Tuesday highlighting the severe long-term damage caused by concussion research. While there is already considerable evidence of consequences in the short term, our findings have conclusively shown that the lingering effects of a concussion study are not only incredibly harmful, but can last for months, if not years, league commissioner Roger Goodell told reporters at a press conference, pointing to an alarming statistic showing that the number of medical research papers on traumatic brain injuries has drastically increased over the past decade, with no signs of slowing down. Perhaps most troubling is the fact that the lasting impact, much of which is still not yet fully understood, becomes increasingly pronounced and serious with every subsequent concussion study. We simply cannot afford to let this issue persist, and concussion reports are entirely preventable as long as everyone is aware of the significant threats they pose. While admitting that these new revelations are indeed highly troubling, Goodell did express optimism over similar findings suggesting that the effects of concussion research are at least not necessarily permanent. 
3	Congress Votes To Fight ISIS By Funding ISIS To Fight AssadBrandon Turbeville Then, on Thursday September 19, the U.S. Senate followed suit by approving the plan as well. The support for the plan in the Senate was, as expected, bipartisan with members such as Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, John McCain, John Boehner, and Lindsey Graham voting Yes on the bill. The Obama administration reiterated that it was neither asking for permission nor for a new authorization to use military force. The White House asserts that it has all the authority it needs to achieve its goals under the authorizations to use military force that were approved after the 9/11 attacks and in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Essentially, as Obama stated in his address to the American people on September 10, the consultation of Congress was a mere formality. The plan to aid the moderate rebels fighting against Assad and engage in airstrikes against the secular government was going ahead regardless of the decision by Congress. Much like the decision to invade Afghanistan and Iraq as well as passing the PATRIOT ACT, and other Constitution-shredding legislation, Congress was convinced to support the plan both because their handlers directed them to do so or because the risk of revealing themselves as completely irrelevant was too damaging to undertake. Yet, while the amendment was sold to the American people and even members of Congress as Obamas plan to detect and degrade ISIS, the reality is that the plan is nothing more than a plan to detect and destroy the Syrian government to benefit of ISIS and other fundamentalist groups that the United States has created, funded, trained, and directed since the very beginning of the Syrian crisis. Even Congressman Justin Amash was able to recognize the fact that this new amendment was a clever disguise for a war on the secular government of Syria with no options off the table, including the use of ground troops. In his own statement announcing his opposition to the amendment, Amash stated, Todays amendment ostensibly is aimed at destroying ISISyet youd hardly know it from reading the amendments text. The world has witnessed with horror the evil of ISIS: the public beheading of innocents, the killing of Christians, Muslims, and others. The amendments focusarming groups fighting the Assad government in Syriahas little to do with defeating ISIS. The mission that the amendment advances plainly isnt the defeat of ISIS; its the defeat of Assad. [] The Obama administration has tried to rally support for U.S. involvement in the Syrian civil war by implying that our help would be at arms length. The amendment Congress will vote on broadly authorizes assistance to groups in Syria. It does not specify what types of weapons our government will give the groups. It does not prohibit boots on the ground. (The amendment is silent on the presidents power to order our troops to fight in the civil war; it states only that Congress doesnt provide specific statutory authorization for such escalation.) It does not state the financial cost of the war. [] If the Syrian groups that are appropriately vetted (the amendments language) succeed and oust Assad, what would result? Would the groups assemble a coalition government of anti-Assad fighters, and would that coalition include ISIS? What would happen to the Alawites and Christians who stood with Assad? To what extent would the U.S. government be obligated to occupy Syria to rebuild the government? If each of the groups went its own way, would Syrias territory be broken apart, and if so, would ISIS control one of the resulting countries? While Amash was correct to suggest that Congress should have opposed the amendment and that the amendment was actually a plan for an assault against the Syrian government as well as the fact that that anarchy, chaos, and unspeakable violence will reign supreme in Syria if the appropriately vetted groups managed to gain control of the country, Amash does miss part of the point. The truth is not that we dont know much about the groups we are funding in Syria. The truth is that we know full well that they are ISIS/Al-Qaeda terrorists, with only an occasional name change and branch off due to Western political motives or internal squabbling. That has been and still is the whole point. There never were any moderates to support in Syria to begin with. There Are No Moderate Syrian Rebels As Tony Cartalucci wrote in his article, In Syria, There Are No Moderates, . . . . . there were never, nor are there any moderates operating in Syria. The West has intentionally armed and funded Al Qaeda and other sectarian extremists since as early as 2007 in preparation for an engineered sectarian bloodbath serving US-Saudi-Israeli interests. This latest bid to portray the terrorists operating along and within Syrias borders as divided along extremists/moderate lines is a ploy to justify the continued flow of Western cash and arms into Syria to perpetuate the conflict, as well as create conditions along Syrias borders with which Western partners, Israel, Jordan, and Turkey, can justify direct military intervention. Indeed, even the New York Times has been forced to admit that there are, as Cartalucci expertly argues in his article, no moderates in the ranks of the Syrian death squads. As Ben Hubbard wrote in April, 2013, In Syrias largest city, Aleppo, rebels aligned with Al Qaeda control the power plant, run the bakeries and head a court that applies Islamic law. Elsewhere, they have seized government oil fields, put employees back to work and now profit from the crude they produce. Across Syria, rebel-held areas are dotted with Islamic courts staffed by lawyers and clerics, and by fighting brigades led by extremists. Even the Supreme Military Council, the umbrella rebel organization whose formation the West had hoped would sideline radical groups, is stocked with commanders who want to infuse Islamic law into a future Syrian government. Nowhere in rebel-controlled Syria is there a secular fighting force to speak of. [emphasis added] Even one of the FSA commanders, Bassel Idriss, recently admitted to openly collaborating with ISIS and al-Nusra, revealing yet another example of the fact that the moderate rebels are not moderate at all. In an interview with the Daily Star of Lebanon, Idriss stated We are collaborating with the Islamic State and the Nusra Front by attacking the Syrian Armys gatherings in . . . Qalamoun . . . . Lets face it: The Nusra Front is the biggest power present right now in Qalamoun and we as FSA would collaborate on any mission they launch as long as it coincides with our values. Idriss also admitted that many FSA fighters had pledged allegiance to ISIS. He said, [ISIS] wanted to enhance its presence in the Western Qalamoun area. After the fall of Yabroud and the FSAs retreat into the hills [around Arsal], many units pledged allegiance [to ISIS]. Abu Fidaa, a retired Syrian Army Colonel who is now a part of the Revolutionary Council in the Qalamoun, corroborated Idrisss statements by saying that A very large number of FSA members [in Arsal] have joined ISIS and Nusra. In the end, people want to eat, they want to live, and the Islamic State has everything. Not only the FSA, but also the Syrian Revolutionary Front has also openly admitted to working with Nusra and al-Qaeda. The leader of the SRF, Jamaal Maarouf admitted that his brigades coordinate with Nusra and al-Qaeda regularly. ISIS Is Controlled By The U.S. And NATO 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, Beginning in 2011 and actually even as early as 2007 the United States has been arming, funding, and supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and a myriad of armed terrorist organizations to overthrow the government of Syria, fight Hezbollah in Lebanon, and undermine the power and influence of Iran, which of course includes any other government or group in the MENA region friendly toward Tehran. Billions in cash have been funneled into the hands of terrorist groups including Al Nusra, Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), and what is now being called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria or ISIS. One can see clearly by any map of ISIS held territory that it butts up directly against Turkeys borders with defined corridors ISIS uses to invade southward this is because it is precisely from NATO territory this terrorist scourge originated. ISIS was harbored on NATO territory, armed and funded by US CIA agents with cash and weapons brought in from the Saudis, Qataris, and NATO members themselves. The non-lethal aid the US and British sent including the vehicles we now see ISIS driving around in. They didnt take this gear from moderates. There were never any moderates to begin with. The deadly sectarian genocide we now see unfolding was long ago predicted by those in the Pentagon current and former officials interviewed in 2007 by Pulitzer Prize-winning veteran journalist Seymour Hersh. Hershs 9-page 2007 report, The Redirection states explicitly: 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. Extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam and are sympathetic to Al Qaeda is a verbatim definition of what ISIS is today. Clearly the words of Hersh were as prophetic as they were factually informed, grounded in the reality of a regional conflict already engineered and taking shape as early as 2007. Hershs report would also forewarn the sectarian nature of the coming conflict, and in particular mention the regions Christians who were admittedly being protected by Hezbollah. 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, In actuality, ISIS is the product of a joint NATO-GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council] conspiracy stretching back as far as 2007 where US-Saudi policymakers sought to ignite a region-wide sectarian war to purge the Middle East of Irans arch of influence stretching from its borders, across Syria and Iraq, and as far west as Lebanon and the coast of the Mediterranean. ISIS has been harbored, trained, armed, and extensively funded by a coalition of NATO and Persian Gulf states within Turkeys (NATO territory) borders and has launched invasions into northern Syria with, at times, both Turkish artillery and air cover. The most recent example of this was the cross-border invasion by Al Qaeda into Kasab village, Latikia province in northwest Syria. 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. ISIS Attack On Taqba Airbase The Precursor To A NATO Attack On Syria Keeping in mind that ISIS is controlled and directed by NATO and Western intelligence, the fact that the death squads have recently focused on the Taqba Airbase in Raqqa province is significant. Particularly when viewed in context of the recent debate taking place in front of the American public by the Obama administration on whether or not to engage in targeted airstrikes inside Syria. For those who may not see the pattern while the United States and NATO deliberated engaging in targeted airstrikes in Syria and the Syrian government subsequently states its opposition to those attacks and its intentions to shoot down the planes delivering those strikes if they do not coordinate with the Syrian government, death squads have effectively eliminated the air defense capability of the Syrian government in the east of the country. After all, the Pentagon even stated that one of the biggest threats to an airstrike operation in Syria is the Syrian governments air defenses. Thanks to ISIS, those air defenses no longer exist in the east of Syria. This was the end game of the ISIS battle to take over Taqba from the start eliminate air defenses so that the NATO powers can launch airstrikes against the Syrian military and thus freeing up a launching pad for the terrorists to conduct attacks even deeper into Syria. Even as the U.S. House was debating whether or not to pass token legislation to passively allow the Obama administration to perpetrate yet another foreign war against a sovereign nation that poses no threat to the United States, rabid warmonger John McCain was grilling Secretary of State John Kerry in what amounted to nothing more than some mildly entertaining D.C. theatre. McCain grilled Kerry on the reason why the United States is not engaging in airstrikes against Assads air defenses as well as a full-scale ground invasion. Attempting to somehow paint Assad as worse than ISIS, McCain stated, I think at least we owe the Free Syrian Army, negate the air attacks that they will be subjected to when they finish their training and equipping, and go into the fight. So why is it that we wont at least news release Bashar al Assads air activity which has slaughtered thousands and thousands and thousands, 192,000 dead, 3 million refugees, and were not going to do anything about Assads air capabilities? And finally, ISIL first, thats what youre telling these young men who really view Assad as the one who has slaughtered their family members. Not ISIL. As bad as ISIL is. McCains position is not surprising considering the fact that he apparently has a close relationship with al-Qaeda, ISIS, and its affiliates. After all, it was McCain who was photographed in a meeting with Salem Idriss, the leader of the Free Syrian Army and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the head of Al-Qaeda in Iraq and ISIS. Remember also that McCain was photographed cavorting around with Abu Bakr, the moderate rebel who was seen cutting out a Syrian soldiers heart and eating it for the camera. It is important to remember that the so-called leader of ISIS is Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. As Voltaire Net describes Baghdadi, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is an Iraqi who joined Al-Qaeda to fight against President Saddam Hussein. During the U.S. invasion, he distinguished himself by engaging in several actions against Shiites and Christians (including the taking of the Baghdad Cathedral) and by ushering in an Islamist reign of terror (he presided over an Islamic court which sentenced many Iraqis to be slaughtered in public). After the departure of Paul Bremer III, al-Baghdadi was arrested and incarcerated at Camp Bucca from 2005 to 2009. This period saw the dissolution of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, whose fighters merged into a group of tribal resistance, the Islamic Emirate of Iraq. On 16 May 2010, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was named emir of the IEI, which was in the process of disintegration. After the departure of U.S. troops, he staged operations against the government al-Maliki, accused of being at the service of Iran. In 2013, after vowing allegiance to Al-Qaeda, he took off with his group to continue the jihad in Syria, rebaptizing it Islamic Emirate of Iraq and the Levant. In doing so, he challenged the privileges that Ayman al-Zawahiri had previously granted, on behalf of Al-Qaeda, to the Al-Nusra Front in Syria, which was originally nothing more than an extension of the ISI. Regardless, false assumptions surrounding the true leadership of ISIS would be called into question in January of 2014 when Al-Arabiya, a Saudi-owned and operated news agency, published an article as well as a video of an interrogation of an ISIS fighter who had been captured while operating inside Syria. When asked why ISIS was following the movement of the Free Syrian Army and who had given him the orders to do so, the fighter stated that he did not know why he was ordered to monitor the FSAs movement but that the orders had come from Abu Faisal, also known as Prince Abdul Rachman al-Faisal of the Saudi Royal Family. An excerpt from the relevant section of the interrogation reads as follows: Interrogator: Why do you (ISIS) monitor the movement of the Free Syrian Army? ISIS Detainee: I dont know exactly why but we received orders from ISIS command. Interrogator: Who among ISIS gave the orders? ISIS Detainee: Prince Abdul Rachman al-Faisal, who is also known as Abu Faisal. Such revelations, of course, will only be shocking news to those who have been unaware of the levels to which the Saudis have been involved with the funding, training, and directing of death squad forces deployed in Syria. Indeed, the Saudis have even openly admitted to the Russian government that they do, in fact, a number of varied terrorist organizations across the world. Even tired mainstream media organizations such as Newsweek (aka The Daily Beast) can no longer ignore the facts surrounding the Saudis involvement with the organization of terrorist groups across the world. Note also that Voltaire Net describes al-Nusra, a documented al-Qaeda connected group, as merely an extension of the IEI (Islamic Emirate of Iraq) which itself was nothing more than a version of Al-Qaeda In Iraq. Thus, from Al-Qaeda in Iraq, came the IEI, which then became the Islamic Emirate of Iraq and the Levant. IEIL then became ISIS/ISIL which is now often referred to as IS. In other words, Nusra=Al-Qaeda-IEI=IEIL=ISIL=ISIS=IS. With the information presented above regarding the nature of the Free Syrian Army and the so-called moderate rebels, it would be entirely fair to add these moderate groups to the list as well. Although too lengthy of a study to be presented in this article, it is important to point out that al-Qaeda is entirely a creation of the West, created for the purpose of drawing the Soviets into Afghanistan in the 1970s and a host of other geopolitical goals in the middle east and around the world, 9/11 being the most memorable instance of Western intelligence al-Qaeda mobilization.[1] While the White Houses recent plan to detect and degrade ISIS is simply more of the same rhetoric covering the fact that NATO has been funding, arming, training, and directing ISIS and related organizations for the purpose of overthrowing Assad.

1	As the Hoosiers enter the NCAA Tournament for the first time in four years, many commentators are speculating that the 2012 Indiana men's basketball team could be this year's UConn, or at least this year's Arizona, or potentially even a hybrid of 2003's Marquette team and the 1987 Providence squad, both of which made surprise runs to the Final Four. 'IU is getting hot at the right time, much like Connecticut last year, but they also have a dominating freshman like Arizona had. Then again, Marquette also had freshman Dwyane Wade in 2003, and Tom Crean also coached that team, so maybe that is the better comparison, especially if you pair elements of that team with the 1987 Providence Friars,' ESPN analyst Jay Bilas said Saturday, stopping to backtrack several times during the segment to recount which teams Indiana does and does not remind him of. 'Ultimately, I see this team making a nice run to the Sweet 16, but bouncing out there, which incidentally enough is exactly what the 1994 Hoosiers did, so I might change my answer. Yeah, that's itthis Indiana team strikes me as most similar to the '94 Indiana team. And maybe a little like Michigan State from two years ago, now that I think about it.' After more than 15 minutes, two commercial breaks, and the rolling of a whiteboard into the studio to help parse through several dozen teams from multiple eras, the College GameDay crew agreed that come tournament time, Indiana should appear most reminiscent of the Indiana basketball team that played in the Big 10 Tournament on Friday. 
3	NY Rep Wants to Criminalize 3D-Printed WeaponsAmanda Warren After his staff stumbled on the footage, Israel decided he would renew the Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988 and then add a ban on the manufacturing, ownership, or transport of both 3D printed firearms and high-capacity magazines. Actually, hed been eyeing the renewal for awhile and you may have been hearing about it along with recent 3D capabilities. The recent video is among the very first to showcase a successful demonstration of automatic firing using a prototype printed 30-round magazine for an AR-15. Approximately 86 rounds are fired at various speeds in the following video posted January 12th, 2013. I thought it had gone viral but it only has around 200K hits that means many still havent seen this amazing milestone. Some companies like the non-profit firearms group Defense Distributed even offer their blueprints for free as their name suggests. As of a few days ago, over 2,200 blueprints were downloaded they are the Home of the Wiki Weapon. An interview with DD founder Cody Wilson last week emphasized what a gamechanger this working model is. Along with laws like Steve Israels, a patent is reportedly in the works to hoard control of this technology. Cant have individuals successfully decentralizing, cant have free market or relief from a burdened economy. JG Vibes who often reports on 3D printing, compared it to the traditional case of the candlemaker trying to prevent the discovery of electric light. Heres a head-scratcher: Israel acknowledges that the law is difficult to enforce (seriously, can we say SWAT raid increases and Orwellian surveillance?) but wants to ensure everyone that this law isnt aimed at owners of 3D printers. Huh? Were not going to solve every problem No law can do that. What were trying to do is deal with a very specific problem, which is the lone wolf who uses a 3D printer to make a plastic weapon in his home that can be brought onto a plane or into a secure environment. Not aimed at owners but at aimed at the lone wolf who uses one meaning anyone who uses one or pays for a print. This law would have far reach because whats to say anyone possessing any type of 3D printer couldnt print guns and magazines? This could clamp the field of 3D printing but, of course, not for elites who want to keep the capability to produce 3D military weapons and drones to themselves. This is, however, not bad news. It is to be expected that lawmakers and corporations will clamp such innovations to keep defense technology out of the hands of individuals. But to positively reframe this story, lets keep in mind that at this point, 3D printed guns render gun control moot and the possibilities for countless 3D goods are still on the horizon.

Kim Yo-jong will be covering for her brother while he faces his recent medical conditions, making all of the important decisions in his place. Still, some suspect that Jong-un may be absent for another reason. There are rumors that the dictator may have been killed. Still, officials claim that Kim Jong-un is facing health issues due to his excessive weight gain, which led him to injuring both of is ankles during a tour of North Koreas military facilities. In any case, Kim Yo-jong has taken over North Korean affairs, even though Jong-un actually does have another brother. His brother is considered to be irresponsible, but some have questions as to whether anyone in the family will exhibit true leadership. What do you think of the change in power?

2	Obama Gives Public Thanks To Muslims For Building The Very Fabric Of Our Nation Since he first took office, there have been questions about President Obamas true faith. While he claims to be Christian, many believe that his true loyalty lies with Islam. He did nothing to quell these suspicions when the White House posted a thank you from Obama to Muslims for building the very fabric of our nation. The statement was released in celebration of Eid-al-Fitr, the holiday that marks the end of Ramadan and the fasting period. Obamas preposterous claim indicates that Islam helped to make America what it is today. In the United States, Eid also reminds us of the many achievements and contributions of Muslim Americans to building the very fabric of our nation and strengthening the core of our democracy, the statement reads. What do you think of Obamas comments? Do you believe that he is a Christian?

3	Why The System Is Set For Tyranny: The High-Tech Collectivist StateBy Aaron Dykes Mathematics and other related fields have got all that behavior down to a somewhat exact science. The use of algorithms and feedback mechanisms to track behavior has allowed the social scientist to manage people en masse, in often very subtle yet deeply meaningful ways. Here, Stafford Beer explains a concept outlined by Ross Ashby about the natural order and tendencies of systems including some obvious pitfalls that are being played out today: Stafford Beer explains the Law of Requisite Variety, also called Ashbys Law in honor of W.Ross Ashby his cybernetician friend. Beers ponders on the dangers of the inability to foresee the consequences of the variety explosion due to come in the future as everybody wants more and more autonomy. Ashbys Law of Requisite Variety: Only Variety Absorbs Variety. In political and social terms, this means there must be enough inputs for members to give their feedback in order for the system to correct to a state that is more fair and democratic and inclusive, etc. Using automation and goal directing to manage and control all sectors of society, or the entire machine itself, cybernetics creates a closed loop for corrective action that is automated, and in which man has little direct input. When there is not a proper balance of power, and there are not meaningful channels of communication for dissent, and the exercise of liberty, then tyranny is inevitable. When the system is not properly configured, the injustice of the power of the state becomes even greater. The same is true for economics, where the draconian policies of controlling and manipulating, especially through tightening, of the monetary supply and the price of business already has created a rigged game. Today, though, high-speed, automatic trades based on complex computer algorithms dominate the marketplace and create an arena that is programmed to let insiders win at the expense of everyone else. It is an entirely different sense of order out of chaos which indeed has been anticipated and modeled by mathematicians and computer engineers for more than half a century. Stafford Beer was a leading cybernetician from the UK who was invited to run the Chilean government using cybernetic machine communiques during the short-lived reign of President Salvador Allende. After being elected openly and fairly in 1970, Allende was removed by a CIA coup on September 11, 1973 plotted with then-National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger. Allende was a Marxist and socialist who nationalized industry and collectivized social interaction with government. In a video address explaining how cybernetics works in government, Beer expresses his genuine respect for Allende and his policies, and obviously felt he was sincere. He believed a just government was being erected even in the hands of a machine. Many of these sentiments are well placed. In the first video (above), Beer makes clear that self-sufficient and free people is the goal, and indeed it should be. In the end, Stafford Beer only had a couple of short years, and the promise of political progress flawed or not was cut short and went unfulfilled (though Beer continued his work in the UK and other Latin American countries). The New Yorker wrote a thorough piece on Stafford Beers project in cybernetic socialism: The consultant, Stafford Beer, had been brought in by Chiles top planners to help guide the country down what Salvador Allende, its democratically elected Marxist leader, was calling the Chilean road to socialism. Beer was a leading theorist of cyberneticsa discipline born of midcentury efforts to understand the role of communication in controlling social, biological, and technical systems. Chiles government had a lot to control: Allende, who took office in November of 1970, had swiftly nationalized the countrys key industries, and he promised worker participation in the planning process. Beers mission was to deliver a hypermodern information system that would make this possible, and so bring socialism into the computer age. The system he devised had a gleaming, sci-fi name: Project Cybersyn. Beer was an unlikely savior for socialism. He had served as an executive with United Steel [] He had a lavish life style [] To convince workers that cybernetics in the service of the command economy could offer the best of socialism, a certain amount of reassurance was in order. In addition to folk music, there were plans for cybernetic-themed murals in the factories, and for instructional cartoons and movies. Mistrust remained. Chile Run by Computer, a January, 1973, headline in the Observer announced, shaping the reception of Beers plan in Britain. At the center of Project Cybersyn (for cybernetics synergy) was the Operations Room, where cybernetically sound decisions about the economy were to be made. Those seated in the op room would review critical highlightshelpfully summarized with up and down arrowsfrom a real-time feed of factory data from around the country. The prototype op room was built in downtown Santiago, in the interior courtyard of a building occupied by the national telecom company. It was a hexagonal space, thirty-three feet in diameter, accommodating seven white fibreglass swivel chairs with orange cushions and, on the walls, futuristic screens. Tables and paper were banned. Beer was building the future, and it had to look like the future. One wall was reserved for Project Cyberfolk, an ambitious effort to track the real-time happiness of the entire Chilean nation in response to decisions made in the op room. Beer built a device that would enable the countrys citizens, from their living rooms, to move a pointer on a voltmeter-like dial that indicated moods ranging from extreme unhappiness to complete bliss. The plan was to connect these devices to a networkit would ride on the existing TV networksso that the total national happiness at any moment in time could be determined. The algedonic meter, as the device was called (from the Greek algos, pain, and hedone, pleasure), would measure only raw pleasure-or-pain reactions to show whether government policies were working. Beer took the metaphor of the body politic seriously in crafting his cybernetics model for Chile as a means of managing an entire country and even had a control room with Star Trek-inspired chairs. However, a genius mind working among the game makers of our world cannot be so naive as to think that a pure democracy can be operated cheerfully by a cybernetic government. Once the powers are created to control the masses, and force everyone (or even most) onto a centrally-controlled, automated system, the abuse of rights is inevitable. The system is geared towards goals for the greater good in a collectivist society and individual needs are routinely seen as noise in the signal, and interference with the goal. Vaccine mandates, forced quarantines, mandatory education, federal income tax, social security, health care systems, and more have been forced onto society without meaningful choice, and with tremendous levels of propaganda from establishment media outlets. And that is when the system is operating in neutral. In the wrong hands, Stafford Beers system could make police states, austerity and a firm iron grip operate at the height of efficiency. This was seen in pre-cybernetics days with Stalin, who ruled ruthlessly and absolutely (and who notoriously demanded Soviet cybernetics be rejected on grounds of being imperialist). After his death, it took over Soviet management. During the height of cybernetics, it was East German Stasi who used cybernetics to direct a hyper-efficient surveillance state model that repressed absolutely everyone, induced fear of arousing suspicion and compelling neighbors and family members to snitch out their close companions for crimes against the state. Whether in a flourishing modern technological democracy or a tight-sealed super state, cybernetics ultimately results in computeriz[ing] our political decision-making leaving individuality and human freedom more and more on the margins. Historian Carroll Quigley foresaw the dehumanizing effects of technology in the management of society and properly warned that it would strip freedom down to narrow confines where a few options exist, but only those which are compatible and acceptable to the system itself. On p. 866 in Tragedy and Hope, he sums up the problem of collectivism which is happening already in the United States where political candidates, the economy and a vast bureaucracy of social services had reduced man to a number hardly the goal of a free society: In effect, average Americans have been reduced to mere serfs, and will be increasingly shown it as technology takes over everything. Only non-compliance with the system, and disengagement from the machine that runs it, can result in greater freedom. Everything else is organized tyranny and there may well be many positive trade-offs and conveniences but engaging the system means handing over an equal amount of control.

2	Trump Delivers Epically Bad News For Obama Administration... Good Riddance Just before Christmas, President-elect Donald Trump dropped a bombshell on Obamas administration by firing every U.S. ambassador appointed by the current president, effective Inauguration Day. On Thursday, The New York Times reported that the State Department sent out a notice on December 23 explaining to the ambassadors that they will be out of the job. Liberals are predictably outraged about the announcement, though a senior Trump official has confirmed there is no ill-will behind the move. Instead, the notice was meant to ensure that Obamas political appointees leave their positions on schedule just as thousands of other government employees must do. The official also noted that this directive should not come as a surprise to the ambassadors. Past administrations have often fired all of the previous presidents political ambassadors. These people are typically major donors who are nominated by close friends of the current president. Career diplomats, on the other hand, are typically permitted to remain at their posts. One thing is clear: Trump intends to purge the entire government and start fresh, without anyone tied to Obama. 
3	New Call of Duty video game reveals villain as leader of the 99% in new trailerJ.G. Vibes It has become blatantly clear that a political message is being sent by the ruling class to the rest of us using these video games and other media. Im not saying that there is something wrong with video games; we all need time to relax every now and then and if thats how you decide to do it that is great. However, this specific series and others like it that glorify war and demonize activists are highly suspect and can now quite confidently be identified as outright propaganda. Just this week a gaming website even compared the the villain to Julian Assange saying The games main villain is Raul Menendez, described as the idolized'. Messiah of the 99%a Julian Assange-like character whos old, experienced, and hellbent on starting a global insurrection against the status quo. He hands Sgt. Frank Woods, the protagonist of the first game, a necklace at the end of the trailer which symbolizes a connection between the two characters. You can take a look at the trailer for yourself below: Even if you dont believe the subliminal and chemical implications of surrounding yourself with this media as I discussed in my article last year, you must at least admit that this storyline is crafted from the perspective of the ruling class where activists should be shot at with elaborate weapons, while it is noble to fight for the aristocracy. It is possible that this is the result of the ruling class controlling the media, or maybe it can just be chalked up to the mainstream political narrative being so deeply entrenched in the minds of the programmers, although I highly doubt its that simple. Regardless of the cause, we should take this as another example where mainstream art and culture reflects the desires of the ruling class. This is extremely dangerous because art and media has such a profound impact on the minds of those who come in contact with it. In so many ways our opinions and outlooks are formed and manipulated by the information that we consume, especially if one has not trained themselves to think critically. Luckily this kind of propaganda is highly ineffective if you are aware of it and are able to critically assess what your being exposed to.

3	This Man Cracked Teslas Secrets So the Internet Had Him KilledBy Bill Murray Jim has been electrifying the world for over 50 years. His lifetime of experience has produced dozens of patents, inventions and now a truly remarkable discovery that can fundamentally change the way that human beings use energy forever. After The Free Thought Projects initial story about Jim Murray, there was speculation about the authenticity of his work, and our subsequent coverage of it. Conspiracy theories sprung up within hours of the piece being first posted on social media. People said that Jim would be killed by the government or by a rogue energy corporation that would never allow Jims work to see the light a day. However, it was the weirdest and most morbid theory that seemed to be the most popular. The underground sewers of the interwebz drudged up an obituary of another man named James Murray who had recently died. The internet warriors claimed that since the man was from Oklahoma and had worked for an electric company, it had to be the same Jim Murray. Therefore, our website had published a lie. Since we had set up a GoFundMe for Jim to raise money to publish his next book, it meant that our crowdfunding efforts were actually a scam and a money grab. Thinking nothing of this because spoiler alert Jim is alive and well, I continued my daily routine of news hunting and meme making for The Free Thought Project. I waited until Jim returned home from his workday before I said anything to him about it. I caught him before he could get his keys in the front door. Hey, Jim! Youre alive, I said in a shocked and sarcastic tone. He turned to me and gave me a look, which I interpreted as, What the hell are you talking about? I am standing right in front of you. I then informed him of the internet rumors, and we had quite a laugh. I invited him over to my home and we celebrated the publishing of his article with dinner. We had no idea that the fodder being hurled around on social media would manifest into something that would impact our efforts to assist Jim and help him with his endeavor to write and publish, Genius Never Dies A tell-all book of Jims fascinating life and discoveries. Feeling quite proud that Jims article was well received by the vast majority of the internet, I continued my life as usual. About 48 hours after a celebratory dinner with my neighbor, I went to the crowdfunding website to see the donations Jim had received. The page was gone. Where did it go? A collective effort to diagnose and cure the problem ensued. We discovered that the crowdfunding page had been removed because of the number of complaints received from the internet users who were duped into believing Jim had already passed away. Unsure of what the final outcome of the situation might be, and thinking the worst, I regretfully notified my neighbor. Jim was unfazed. Ill find a way to write the book, regardless, Jim exclaimed with seemingly no disappointment. I, on the other hand, was furious. Its difficult for me to be hard on the people who ask tough questions. I consider myself to be a conspiracy theorist. Who isnt anymore? The term conspiracy theorist was coined by the US Government to condemn citizens who questioned the official narrative of the JFK assassination. A few weeks ago, declassified documents revealed that the CIA admitted to having a hand in the assassination cover-up. However, in the case of Jim Murray, the conspiracy theorists shot inside the proverbial tent. They hindered the ability of Jim to gain funds that would be used to directly help expose a huge puzzle piece of the big picture. This illustrates the importance that we must all individually place on ascertaining the truth for ourselves. It is imperative that we ensure that our research is accurate. The momentum from the initial article was fading, and our efforts looked to be on the brink of futility. We waited days for his donation campaign to be put back up. Luckily, after some back and forth via email, GoFundMe finally delivered, put the page back up and restored the funds. Since the fate of Jims crowdfunding campaign was unknown for so long, we had no choice but to devise a backup plan. Even though the donation page was restored, we continued with plan B. We had to vindicate Jim Murrays good name and silence the voices that claimed that Jim was pushing up daisies in Tulsa, OK. After Jims initial article proved to be so popular, I was put in touch with fellow journalist and activist, Derrick Broze, who writes for websites TheAntiMedia.org and TheConsciousResistance.com. Mr. Broze wanted to interview Jim and clarify some of the same things we wanted to. Derrick also had recently organized an event and invited us to come to Houston and attend. Being it that Jim and I both live in Oklahoma City, Houston wasnt so far away, so we took Derrick up on his offer. After arriving in Houston, Jim and I settled in a hotel and met up with other members of The Free Thought Project team that were invited to Houston for Derricks event. Whenever you go anywhere with Jim Murray, you never know what might happen. Strange things seem to follow this man around. To be more specific, strange coincidences. Coincidences that make you wonder that coincidences may not even be coincidences. Around Jim, it seems like everything is planned to happen just the way it is supposed to. Some might call it a continual manifestation of fate. The morning after we arrived, while I was still asleep, Jim went to the hotel gym to get some exercise and then proceeded to the complimentary breakfast. Seem normal? Just wait. While on the elevator, making his way to the continental feast, Jim struck up a conversation with a woman. They exited the elevatorand continued walking and talking. Jim didnt know it at the time, but he wasnt following the lady to the free breakfast. It was breakfast alright, but it was a private breakfast that was set up at the hotel for NASA medical staff and scientists. The woman was already pleasantly surprised by the intellectual conversation she was having with Jim, so naturally, she invited him to stay. While Jim had his fill of the morning meal, more NASA employees began surrounding his table as he was speaking with the kind woman. It turned into a lecture, of course. Jim spoke of Tesla, and some other topics. One of the NASA doctors took notes. However, it wasnt all a one-sided conversation. Jim admittedly learned from his new acquaintances the effects of microgravity on the human body. When the breakfast was nearing its end, Jim was approached by a NASA employee who said to him, I hope you realize that this meeting was not coincidence. Jim responded and told the man that he didnt believe in coincidences. They both shared a smile. After Jims coincidental NASA breakfast, he and I enjoyed Derrick Brozes event, For The Community Ten music and arts festival, sponsored by Brozes group, The Houston Free Thinkers. It was truly an amazing spectacle of which we all enjoyed. The bands were incredibly talented, and the art was just as satisfying to the eyes as the music was to the ears. Our weekend concluded the next morning when Jim and Derrick finally collaborated for the below eye-opening interview. Here is the link to Jims reinstated Go Fund Me, after they realized he isnt dead.

2	BREAKING: 1 Hillary Email Showed Terrorists How To Kill Amb. Chris Stevens According to recent reports, an email released on Monday pertaining to the Benghazi investigation from Hillary Clintons private email server has the former Secretary of State in some serious hot water. The message reportedly detailed the location of murdered Ambassador Chris Stevens, and it is very possible that terrorists could have intercepted the message. Breitbart reports that the April 10, 2011 email from State Department employee Timmy Davis was forwarded to the server by Clintons aide, Huma Abedin. The situation in Ajdabiyah has worsened to the point where Stevens is considering departure from Benghazi, the email reads. The envoys delegation is currently doing a phased checkout (paying the hotel bills, moving some comms to the boat, etc). He will monitor the situation to see if it deteriorates further, but no decision has been made on departure. He will wait 2-3 more hours, then revisit the decision on departure. This is just one of several emails that show that Stevens location was readily available to anyone who wanted to hack into Hillarys email. One email, on April 24, even told the exact time that Ambassador Stevens would be having a meeting. What do you think? Is this absolutely unacceptable? 
1	Making flippant remarks about the game such as 'BASKETBALL GAME HAPPENING NOW' and 'WHO REALLY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT ANY OF THIS?' the Detroit Pistons' JumboTron has reportedly stopped trying to pretend to care about the team this season. 'SOMEONE IS ON DEFENSE AND SOMEONE IS ON OFFENSE,' the on-screen text said during the second quarter of Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. 'FANS! GET UP ON YOUR FEET! THEN WALK OUT OF HERE AND GO DO SOMETHING WORTHWHILE WITH YOUR NIGHT.' After showing some highlights from the 2004 championship team, the JumboTron said, 'THIS IS JUST DEPRESSING,' and then turned itself off completely at halftime, only to return in the game's closing minutes to show a couple of funny dog videos from YouTube. 
3	A Single Piece of Radioactive Food Is Comparable to Hundreds of X-RaysAnthony Gucciardi Furthermore, research conducted by a prominent doctor also draws a relationship between radioactive food and the occurrence of birth defects. Prestigious physician, geneticist, and professor Dr. Wladimir Wertelecki conducted research back in 2010 regarding the relationship between contaminated food and birth defects. Now, years later, the professor is speaking out over the serious impact of the Chernobyl and the Fukushima-Daiichi disasters. To illustrate this radioactive food issue, Werteleckis report statesthat, One mushroom eaten in affected areas may deliver as much radiation as hundreds of chest x-rays. Whats more, Wertelecki is highlighting concerns over how officials are essentially treating citizens like idiots and withholding the true extent to which the disasters could be affecting the health of the globe. It is not the scale of a nuclear accident itself that makes a human disaster it is the response by officials afterward and the public panic produced. The public should not be treated as idiots and told only the good half of the story, as is often done by official agencies. People have the right to know, the need to believe those who are in charge. Fukushima radiation levels have already been confirmed to exceed 2 1/2 times the amount officials had originally admitted to, and a surprisingly large amount of the radioactive cesium is now known to have deposited into the Pacific. Seafood, milk, meat products, and many other items are now subject to the extreme contamination risk posed by Fukushima, and the risk is very real to adults and children alike.

2	Muslim Congressman Caught Dumping Money In Something Disgusting You Will Be Livid According to recent reports, Representative Keith Ellison has taken it upon himself to travel to Somalia to help terror-sympathizing constituents in Minnesota donate to radical Islamic terrorists. It sounds extreme, but these transfers happen under the guise of helping American Somalis support friends and family back home. What is not reported is that fact that this money often ends up in the hands of jihadists. I told my constituency I would come here and work for the United States and Somalia relationship, and I am doing that in todays visit, Ellison claimed at a news conference in Mogadishu. Of course, his actions do nothing of the kind. In fact, it puts the Somali government in a worse situation. This is not the first time Ellison has taken controversial actions when it comes to foreign relations. In 2008, he accepted a $13,350 donation from the Muslim American Society, a group that Steven Emerson, director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism is the de facto arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States. What do you think of Ellisons actions?

2	Atheist Group Sues To Remove Under God From Pledge Of Allegiance In Aberdeen, NJ, a family is suing the Matawan-Aberdeen Regional School District for having the words under God in the Pledge of Allegiance. According to USA Today, the lawsuit was filed by the American Humanist Association, a secular activist group, on behalf of parents who are choosing to remain anonymous. Both the organization and the family argue that mentioning God in the Pledge of Allegiance constitutes discrimination again atheists. They are also claiming it is against the New Jersey constitution. Its not the place of state governments to take a position on god-belief, said Roy Speckhardt, the executive director of the AHA, in an interview with Religion News Service, The current pledge practice marginalizes atheist and humanist kids as something less than ideal patriots, merely because they dont believe the nation is under God. Contrastingly, the school districts lawyer claims that the officials are following state law, which requires daily recitation of the pledge. Students are not required to participate. All we are doing is abiding by requirements of state law, said attorney David Rubin, We and approximately 590 other school districts in the state. If the group whos brought this lawsuit questions the wisdom of that policy or the legality of it, we believe their arguments are much better directed to the state Legislature whos imposed this requirement on us, rather than suing an individual school district on this matter. The AHA lawsuit also questions the history surrounding the recitation. What do you think? Should one family stop the school district from reciting the pledge to our country? 
2	Trey Gowdy Announces Full Blown Resurrection Of Investigation Now That Elections Are Over... She Is Finished Hillary Clinton may not be our president, but that doesnt mean Trey Gowdy plans to let her off the hook for her crimes. Gowdy was easily reelected to Congress this week, despite the efforts of Democrats to give him the boot. With his position secured, hes focusing his attention on making sure Clinton sees justice. There is sufficient evidence, both direct and circumstantial, upon which a jury could conclude an intent to violate the law, Gowdy commented. This evidence includes concealment of evidence, destruction of evidence, and false exculpatory statementsall of which fall under the general heading of consciousness of guilt. It would appear the investigation is back to the status quo ante, which means Director Comey believes Secretary Clinton was indeed extremely careless in her handling of classified material, he added. Yet, there is insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt Secretary Clinton had a specific intent to violate a statute which specifically provides for the lower sector standard of gross negligence, Gowdy concluded. Do you support Gowdy for continuing to hold Clinton responsible for her crimes? 
2	MAJOR Retailer Now Giving Into The Demands Of Shariah Law Well it appears another major retailer in the United States is being forced to support the demands of Muslims practicing Sharia law. The national chain has received immense pressure to begin selling Halal-certified meat. The Walmart, located near the University of Miami campus, has already started to accommodate the request. I appreciated the students bringing this interest to our attention, the stores manager, Elijah Woodard, told reporters. I am pleased to announce that we have sat a Halal meat section in the store. The move to demand the section from Walmart was organized by Tareq Hasan Khan, a professor at the university and supporter of the Muslim Student Association. Khan went so far as to demand that the meat be purchased from specific companies. Now, the group is attempting to force the university to adopt the same policy. 
3	New Gallup Poll Number 1 Problem Facing Americans Today is the U.S. GovernmentBy Matt Agorist In 2015, for the second straight year, the largest problem Americans have faced is the United States Government. Over the past two years, Americans have watched the federal government help to create and fund ISIS in Syria, completely trash the privacy of its citizens, beat, kidnap, cage, and kill people for a plant, and continue to bury generations of unborn children and their grandchildren under an infinitely massive mountain of debt to pay for it all. According to the poll, Americans think the Government is the largest problem at 16%, followed by the Economy at 13%, and then Unemployment and Immigration, which are tied at 8%. Ironically, all of the top issues Americans claim to face, happen to be controlled or at least heavily influenced by government. The word immigration would not even exist if not for the imaginary lines drawn on a map by governments. It would simply be referred to as moving. According to Gallup,there was less consensus in 2015 on any single problem as the nations biggest, largely because Americans concern about the economy and unemployment subsided, while no other issue replaced them. It seems that the government-created problems are becoming so numerous that its hard to nail down just onewhich is likely why the number one problem is simply government. As seen below, in the Gallups annual averages since 2001, there always tends to be a single polarizing issueuntil now. This Gallup poll tends to corroborate another recent poll conducted by the Pew Research Centerthat found more than one-quarter of all registered voters say they think of government as the enemy. In the Pew poll, their findings suggested that 57 percent of voters feel frustrated with the government while 22%feel angry, and 18% feel basically content. The Pew poll also found that the majority, around 3 in 4 Americans, actually figured out that the federal government isrun by a few big interests, while nearly two-thirds say thegovernment is almost always wasteful and inefficient. Government atrocities that have previously only affected a small number of people have now become so commonplace that they are considered the norm. It is no longer conspiracy theoryto find out that the government is spying on innocent civilians through many different means. Also, it is now well known that the government is not afraid of killing civilians who get in its way, not excluding bombing innocent doctors inside hospitals. As more and more people feel the wrath of their almighty state, the 18% will become 30%, the 30% will become 60%, and so on until the paradigm of politicians feeding off of the citizens is finally brought to a halt. To end this police state, we have to educate our fellow Americans about its immoral nature. Only through a lesser ignorance will Americans wake up to the atrocities being carried out against them by their supposedprotectors. The Free Thought Project has a running list of articles that pose solutions to the myriad of problems that arise when criminals run the show. Please take a look through our #Solutions section to find out more, and share this article with your friends and family to help open their eyes to the immoral nature of the police state. Matt Agorist writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com John 9: Like any disease which invades the body and consumes resources with no return the Government has become a cancer. Americans are Americas number 1 problem. Government is just the tool that catches all the flack. What we are witnessing in these days are the consequences of building a nation with so many errors, from the dealings with native Americans, to the black slaves and the whole 3/5 a person thing, the Chinese Americans, Japanese americans, etc.. Also lets not forget the imperial conquest the government began once they had abused those peoples for its infrastructure. The American empire can no longer stand under the sins it brought upon itself. Communities are rife with distrust, and violence. The money is just a tattered promise with no intent to be fufilled. The political environment is that of men who would prefer its citizenry dead than to revert to limited powers. I still dont believe that the possibility of better is lost, but it will not come from an American empire. Neither will it come from any empire that has benefitted from Americas existence. The people have to start anew, they have to enlighten themselves, and cast off this system. Once that happens progress can be made. It can not be violent in nature when they exodus or else they will just end up in similar position, imprisoned by a government. Unfortunately, Americans love the fruits of their corrupt government. It is because of this love for those rotten fruits that they have become sickly. Every politicians problem is that there is nothing that can be done constructive for our country that is not destructive of government. I keep hoping for some one who will introduce a bill to defund geo-engineering/climate-engineering; institute a flat tax or some ratio of flat tax and national sales tax; disolve the Department of Agriculture, disolve the Department of Education; etc.; Nationalize the Federal Reserve Bank. Do you suppose that anyone in the Senate or House of Representatives has any vision of a truly constitutional government? The key question for all candidates is how much government can you shut down and how many congressional benefits can you remove? Another good question: Do you believe debt calls for austerity? 
1	Inciting further speculation that Virginia governor Tim Kaine would be named Sen. Barack Obama's running mate, snickering reports from the Kaine household have indicated that the 50-year-old father of three has the experience and leadership qualities necessary to become vice presidentassuming the position is vice president of being a total dork. 'Oh, sure, yeah, [Kaine] is definitely ready to fill out the ticket by appealing to white blue-collar workers and Latinos,' said Tim Kaine expert and daughter Annella Kaine, 13. 'Not! He'll probably be like, 'Vote for me and I'll make everyone go to bed early. Derr, derr, derr.'' For now, no official decision has been announced regarding the Democratic ticket, and Kaine's children continue to maintain that nothing short of a high-level cabinet position will convince them to allow their dad to talk to any of their friends. 
3	Industrys Own Words: 6 Admissions Of In-Home Surveillance Using Smart MetersJosh del Sol Its always a drag to find out when a friend is saying one thing to your face, and another to your back. As uncovered in our film Take Back Your Power, the way in which most utilities are now delivering the lies and propaganda with your individual rights, security, and potentially health on the line is elevating the trait of two-faced to a completely new level. Its important to note that the first 4 of these references have to do with the smart meters / grid infrastructure capabilities as of this time. According to the sum of my research over the past 3 years, the plan involves achieving a greater and greater level of granularity and extraction of in-home data over time see #5 and #6 below as examples (as well as my article on Googles Nest acquisition). So as far as privacy and surveillance go, according to utilities own documentation and writings, smart meters are effectively a trojan horse. 1) US Congressional Research Service report, Smart Meter Data: Privacy and Cybersecurity (February 2012) I support todays decision because it adopts reasonable privacy and security rules and expandsconsumer and third-party access to electricity usage and pricing information. I hope this decision stimulates market interest. Source:http://smartenergyportal.net/article/california-commission-adopts-rules-protect-privacy-and-security-customer-electricity-usage-d 4) SF Chronicle article, California Utilities Yield Energy Use Data (July 2013) The vast majority of those disclosures 4,062 were made by one utility, San Diego Gas and Electric Co. In 4,000 of those cases, the information was subpoenaed by government agencies. New digital smart meters being installed throughout the state can measure a homes energy use hour by hour, showing when residents leave for work, go to sleep or travel on vacation. Older analog meters, which measured cumulative energy use over the course of a month, couldnt do that. Before smart meters, what happened inside houses couldnt be revealed unless there was a police officer inside with a warrant, Ozer said.

If we did, we were naive. Plainly, there is a corporate intention to effectively colonize your home. However, there is also a rising awareness, and resistance, as new solutions are uncovered. The first step is to remove your consent, in writing. The following is actually written into the California Civil Code. Not only do these provide a strong clue at how the corporatocracy functions (and gets away with what it does), but they also outline a basis for remedy: (notes in parentheses, italics) 1619. A contract is either express or implied. (If you didnt say no, you said yes.) 3515. He who consents to an act is not wronged by it. (The way they do business is in writing. If you didnt send them a letter or notice to remove your consent, you have agreed to their terms, and thus have agreed to a reduction in rights.) 3521. He who takes the benefit must bear the burden. (Utilities and their executives and many public servants are taking the benefit. They must, according to their law, accept the liability for all harm if the liability is enforced.) 3523. For every wrong there is a remedy. (We are not bound into something which would have us be as slaves, if we do not want to be.) 3527.

1	Citing the 26-year-olds relentless attitude and utter refusal to ever give in, New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan told reporters Thursday that the team has been amazed by newly acquired wide receiver Percy Harvins willingness to fight inside the huddle. Hes only been with us for a few days, but Percy hasnt been afraid to get in there and fight tooth and nail before every snap, said Ryan, adding that his coaching staff has been blown away by the former Seahawks stars intensity and aggression whenever coming up against his teammates on offense. No matter what the circumstance, you can always count on Percy to be incredibly physical and really get in the faces of the quarterback and offensive linemen after a play has been called. The guy just wont quithes an absolute monster out there. Ryan went on to express his pity for the Jets players who will face Harvin this Sunday, stressing that the receiver will be ruthless on every single down until taking himself out of the game midway through the fourth quarter. 
2	James Comey Faces Devastating Fate After Closing The Doors On Clinton Investigation FBI Director James Comey outraged the nation this week when he announced that he would not be changing his decision that Hilary Clinton should not be charged for her use of a personal email server. She may not be our president, but she still needs to be held accountable for her actions. Republicans and Democrats alike are angry with Comey for his handling of the case, and pressure is one for him to explain his actions over the last two weeks. The reopening of the case raised serious questions, and its second closing sparked even more. On Sunday, Senator Al Franken called for Comey to stand before the Senate Judiciary Committee. He was backed up by fellow Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein. I think there should be hearings, and Im certain there will be hearings in the Judiciary Committee on this matter, Franken said on CNN. We will have hearings. Im sure that FBI Director Comey will be before us. I think he should be able to answer questions about this, and he should be able to control the FBI. I believe the Justice Department needs to take a look at its procedures to prevent similar actions that could influence future elections, Feinstein commented. What do you think? Should Comey be fired? 
3	Global Elites Are Getting Ready To Blame You For The Coming Financial CrashBy Brandon Smith As I pointed out in my pre-Brexit referendum article, Brexit: Global Trigger Event, Fake Out Or Something Else? the story being scripted by the globalists is one of the failures and crimes of conservative movements. I predicted that the Brexit would pass based on this language used by international financiers and elites leading up to the vote. The vast majority of analysts in the mainstream and in the alternative media refused to acknowledge the possibility that a successful Brexit actually works in FAVOR of the globalists, because it provides them a perfect scapegoat for a financial crisis that has been broiling for years and is now ready to burst into flames. I find still that many people will not dare to consider the idea that a successful conservative resurgence is actually part of the plan for globalist institutions. Many argue that the elites just dont have that kind of pervasive control over the system, or that I am attributing too much power and ability to them. I find this argument rather naive but also interesting, because many of the people who claim the elites do not have such influence were also the same people who argued before the Brexit that the elites would never allow the U.K. referendum to pass. So, do they have extensive influence, or dont they? This kind of selective blindness to the game being played prevents a whole host of otherwise intelligent people from grasping reality. These folks need to finally admit to themselves that they were half right; the globalists would not allow the passage of the Brexit, UNLESS, a successful Brexit actually works in their favor. In my post-Brexit analysis I said that the meme of bumbling and destructive conservatives and populists would continue into the U.S. election, and so far it would seem this is exactly the case. In numerous mainstream articles globalists have been openly telling us exactly what is about to happen. I find that the same naivety that developed during the Brexit campaign has also developed around the Trump campaign. Too many in the liberty movement will not entertain the idea that a Trump win is in the cards. Yet, the elites are using the same language in reference to the Trump campaign that they used before and after the Brexit. Bloombergs latest report on the annual meetings of the IMF and World Bank showcase numerous warnings by the elites: The global economy has benefited tremendously from globalization and technological change, the IMFs top advisory panel said in a communique released on Saturday after meeting in Washington. However, the outlook is increasingly threatened by inward-looking policies, including protectionism, and stalled reforms. The IMF warned in its latest economic outlook that rising political tensions over open markets and free trade could undermine a recovery already lacking a growth engine. In a rebuke to those advocating a turn away from trade, the members of the IMF panel redoubled their commitment to maintain economic openness and reinvigorate global trade as a critical means to boost global growth. Barrons reiterates the predictive programming, insinuating that a loss of faith in globalism and the financial elites will lead to disaster. Leaders gathered at the International Monetary Fund/World Bank annual meeting didnt mention Donald Trump by name this week, but they warned the anti-trade and populist movements fueling his presidential campaign, as well as Brexit, could further slow already anemic economic growth. Populist movements have not fallen on deaf ears, with German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble noting during a panel on the global economy that: More and more, people dont trust their elites. They dont trust their economic leaders, and they dont trust their political leaders. Globalists are telling us what is about to happen. I continue to hold to the position I always have that Donald Trump is going to be ALLOWED into the White House, and that this will be a prelude to economic crisis. The stage is being set for a grand finale to our ongoing financial collapse. The great villain behind the whole disaster will be revealed, and we will be told that the villain is us. By us I mean conservative movements in general, though, the mainstream media and globalist spokesmen refer to us more often today as populists, or maybe deplorables. Those people who think this brand of conspiracy is too far fetched because it requires an inordinate level of political and economic control have not really thought the situation through. Fact central banks and international financiers have already created the conditions necessary for economic instability. Fact these same elites have staved off a larger or more immediate collapse over the past eight years through the use of fiat stimulus measures, market rigging and the manipulation of public perception. Fact the elites can easily initiate an immediate collapse if they wish by simply refusing to prop up the system any longer. Fact the elites have showcased the ability to stifle conservative movements in the past through interference and co-option (Tea Party, anyone?). Fact they can also give conservative movements an opportunity to gain momentum by removing some of this interference. The truth is, at this point globalists do not need expansive or intricate control over the system in order to cause a crisis or to place conservatives in the historical hot seat. All they have to do is step aside and let the train wreck happen. And, of course, they have to position themselves as prognosticators and saviors once the crisis event occurs. The argument also arises that people would never take the bait; that the masses will not be fooled by the banking cabal into scapegoating conservatives for a crash the elites created. One can only hope. However, possession is nine-tenths of the law in the minds of many, and the mainstream has already conditioned the public with the notion that the mere presence of anti-globalist conservatives in positions of political authority will negatively affect market psychology. Of course, this notion relies on the admission of certain truths. For example, the globalists would have to admit that the fiscal system they have held together is so tenuous and fraudulent that it depends solely on false public perception and false investor assumptions. In order to blame conservatives for the destruction of the global economy, the elites will have to tell the truth about the frailty of the system before they can lie about who broke it. This may not matter. When people are facing national or international calamity with the potential to hurt them personally, critical thinking and logic tend to go out the window. There is also the power of distraction to occupy the minds of the masses while a crisis is taking shape, and what could be more distracting than the Trump vs. Clinton U.S. election? I have to say, I dont think I have ever witnessed or seen a historical accounting of an election more psychotic than the election of 2016. It is truly the most divisive event in over a century, and this is why I consistently compare it to the Brexit referendum. The tone is very much the same, with citizens on the Left side of the political spectrum being lured into rallying in support of globalism as if it is a prerequisite to peace and harmony, while citizens on the Right side of the spectrum are portrayed as knuckle-dragging isolationist barbarians hell-bent on urinating in the punch bowl and ruining everyones global prosperity party. Brexit supporters were painted as older, selfish, potentially racist and out of touch with the changing times. Brexit opponents were painted as young, educated and victimized by older generations taking away the supposed future benefits of globalism. Trump supporters are labeled as older, mostly white-centric, uneducated and fearful of the changing times. They just dont get that its 2016. Trump opponents are elevated as the academic and worldly class battling to prevent another Hitler. During the lead up to the U.K. referendum, polls indicated a wide margin in favor of the anti-Brexit crowd and the assumption by almost everyone was that the Brexit would fail. The lead-up to the U.S. election is also rife with polls indicating in most cases a margin of victory for Clinton over Trump. Of course, only a complete idiot would take polling numbers seriously in light of what happened during the Brexit. The Brexit campaign witnessed what appeared to some to be an unrecoverable black swan event the killing of British MP Jo Cox. Almost everyone claimed that the murder of Cox by an apparently pro-Brexit assailant meant that the Brexit was doomed (I actually argued that the murder would be forgotten in a week and that the Brexit would pass anyway). The Trump campaign has witnessed its own kind of black swan event with the release of recordings from eleven years ago in which Trump is heard making lewd remarks about women. It is surprising to me how many conservatives (let alone liberals) have been declaring Trumps candidacy effectively over due to the scandal. These people are dupes. Once again, I argue that the Trump tapes will be forgotten in a week and that they have no bearing whatsoever on the election. They are nothing more than bread and circus. Beyond the fact that really, almost no one cares what Trump said a decade ago, I argue that this election has already been decided. I argue that the globalists want Trump in office, just as they wanted the passage of the Brexit. I argue that they need conservative movements to feel as though we have won, so that they can pull the rug out from under us in the near future. I argue that we are being set up. Again, the elites are openly telling us what is about to happen. They are telling us that if populists (conservatives) gain political power, the system will effectively collapse. To what extent is hard to say, but lets assume that the situation will be ugly enough to influence the masses to reconsider the ideal of globalism as a possible solution. The elites are fond of the Hegelian dialectic and the philosophy of order out of chaos, after all. The only way to counter this developing lie is for liberty champions to first accept the idea that our political victories might be ultimately meaningless and that we are being allowed to take charge of a ship that is already sinking. Only then can we distance ourselves from an exponential fiscal disaster by distancing ourselves from the narrative. Perhaps I am wrong, and in November we see a dismal Trump performance and a Clinton victory. But if we see a surprise Trump election win, just as we saw a surprise Brexit win, then it may be time to consider that the surface of this situation is not what it appears.

That in this case is portions of the history of Free Trade. Britain used Free Trade to force China to legalize the opium trade. This forced China to be flooded with opium which addicted their people in order that Britain took silver traded for labor in processing cotton goods. It was Britain that furthered mono-agriculture in setting up colonies, each with only one trade valued good, crippling the Fair Market Fair Trade. London, England is now the world financial center. It is this center in conjunction with Rockefellers IMF World bank which report to Bank of International Settlements. These are the crooks responsible and accountable. Rockefellers has patents on the Zika virus and as well might also have stake in Bayer, the company which brought us the Spanish Flu. There was no flu actually, it was a result from poor to no labeling on Bayers new wonder panacea, aspirin, which caused fatalities from toxic dosing. These crooks need hung in public to ensure they serve as an example of the evils the world is no longer willing to tolerate. Now THAT would be some entertainment worthy of the masses Im in favor of the guillotine. Its a very effective deterrent against elitism. The guy from Naturalnews said, if hillary wins, the markets will be blamed and thus usher in communism with government in total control. Doesnt matter which puppet gets in, the aim is techno neofeudal Marxism run by bankster fascists. I dont understand the apparent oxymoron of Marxism/(neo)feudalism. An authoritarian system of redistribution and rationing decided by a strong central authority ~ Marxism. Neofeudal because the plan calls for a small managerial class = technocrats, next multinational corporations, and top of the pyramid controlling it all bankers, royals, superclass. Besides structure, another feudal aspect is the long term agenda is to end private property as we know it. Global Technocracy involves eventual deep capture of ALL the resources and land nicely illustrated in Spiro Skouras 12 min youtube report on UN and multinational takeover of the oceans and seas. Link below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=josKPWSGpY4 Scary clip I was wondering what all the fuss was about over Chinas artificial island building and the US claim to be the rightful authority to police these areas. I still dont see the Marxist component of this agenda though, given that what were experiencing now, and for some time, is a redistribution to the top of the pyramid, while any social safety networks are being dismantled, all the while jobs are disappearing and the population is getting sicker and sicker. Since China signed the treaty too, I wonder if the reporting on the S. China Seas was designed to make the treaty appear to be a necessity as a way to mediate disputes. Also, at height of the intense reporting I poked around to get a sense of how the Chinese govt / press were playing it and discovered it was very different from western alt media. Chinas censors on the net were out in force to quell angry denunciations and their media and youth leagues were strongly admonishing the public to not protest the controversy, harshly criticizing the small group that smashed their iPhones in front of a Kentucky Fried Chicken saying such actions were anti government extremism and foolish in an age of global economic interdependence as boycotting American products would only hurt Chinese workers. Its as though Chinas rulers want to keep anti-globalism in check while balancing nationalism rhetoric for other needs. The Marxist component is not here yet, its waiting in the wings, thats one objective of the interconnecting links of tracking and monitoring individuals in real timeBrzezinskis Technotronic Era:and the foundation of the old Technocracy movement in the US in the 1930s when they didnt have advanced enough technology for their proposed system. Last week I came across some unsettling information on big social changes in China and Russia that hint at this global communist-esque redistribution This year I came to realize that both China and Russia are simultaneously engaged in massive crackdowns on mild dissent (and even non dissent such as human rights and labor advocacy). A puzzle. Then this past week I stumbled on information that, over the past decade or so, the govts of China and Russia have been promoting a strong resurgence in the popularity of Mao and Stalin, respectively. To the point of deification in China with some people praying daily to their Mao statues which Mao was completely against when he was alive, btw = very odd. Also in China there is a growing zeitgeist that the people need to return to communism to redistribute wealth, as the wealth disparity in China is worse than the west, including the US. It so happens that the nation with the highest wealth disparity is Russia, so much so economists say it should be in its own special category. Putin recently said the USSR should have never been dismantled! When his statement ruffled a lot feathers in Russia he clarified his view saying he meant that the USSR should have been reformed instead of dismantled because the breakup was too painful. At the same time, it was being reported in Europe that Putin is re-creating the KGB, that is, a powerfully centralized intelligence force and there was even talk of possibly using the same name used during the Stalin era. Sorry, Veri Tas, thats a lot of info to give you for this little point I wanted to make that I think these two big nations are being prepared for Global Technocracy, which is just as totalitarian as the Mao and Stalin eras. Its also the end of capitalism. I find a lot of loose threads and try to link them to what I understand is coming. Yes, the top of the pyramid is grabbing all the resources to own and control with the notion that we will be allowed use of the land, homes, access to food, energy, etc. as they deem necessary. The aware ideologically left establishment is going along because they are being told it will be the end to global hunger, homelessness, and environmental destruction (thus the term sustainable). Sorry Im too tired at the moment to look this name and quote up, but a high level IPCC official publicly admitted about a year ago that IPCC environmental policies were not really about protecting the environment, they are designed to create a new economic system. Another one: Christiana Figueres head of UN FCCC This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution. Hope that helps clarify my comment. A lot of info, sorry! Cheers, blue Much to ponder. Thank you. Youre very welcome. Also thanks for the Spiro Skouras reference; it brought me to the Newsbud site, one I hadnt come across. Glad you found it. Sibel Edmonds is a smart dedicated woman, her website is boilingfrogs.com.

1	According to sources, a new trailer released Thursday for the upcoming film RoboCop revealed that the movies main character seems to be some kind of futuristic robotic policeman or law enforcement officer. The filmand I could be wrongseems to posit a narrative world in which a half-machine, half-man is apparently an active member of the police force and is charged with upholding the law as though he were a human member of the police force, said 32-year-old Macon, GA resident Jeffrey Albertson, adding that while the trailer was somewhat ambiguous, he believes RoboCop will, by and large, focus primarily on the actions of a singular robotic cop and not a police force comprised of many robotic cops. I would assume, based on what Ive seen, that because he is a robot policeman, if you will, and because he has the benefits of robotic technology, he will therefore be carrying out some of the films more difficult police missions. Again, this is purely conjecture at this point. Albertson said he would just have to wait for the movie to come out to see if the human and robotic elements of the characters identity come into conflict with one another, especially during the films quieter, more emotional scenes. 
2	Obama Looks Impeachment In The Face After Congressman Makes MASSIVE Move Against Him According to recent reports, Rep. Ted Yoho of Florida is preparing to introduce a resolution setting forth the Houses definition of high crimes and misdemeanors. The legislation is intended to challenge Obamas actions, citing 11 different instances in which Obama made decisions that fit the Constitutions standards of high crimes and misdemeanors. The legislation would break down what this statement means, listing failing to take care that the laws be faithfully executed through signing statements or systematic policies of non-enforcement and substituting executive agreements for treaties as too potential crimes that would be impeachable offenses. The resolution has been called the single most significant action taken by a Republican towards impeachment to date. What do you think? Do you support Yoho? Are you ready to see Obama face consequences for his actions?

One of their best jokes involved Obama and the Democrats, who lost the Senate majority on Tuesday. As we stand here and celebrate and have a good time, we realize that people around the world are worried, Underwood began. Yeah, answered Paisley. You cant turn on the TV, or open up a newspaper, or click on a website without being reminded about the epidemic were all facing. And I dont think Im out of line saying that this condition has hit Nashville the hardest. Thats right, Brad, Underwood joined back in. And of course were talking about The joke refers to Swift releasing a new pop album, moving away from her country roots. The pair went on to continue to make jabs at Obama and the Democratic party. The crowd clearly enjoyed the show, but it appears that some Democrats may have been less-than-pleased. 
2	Obama Refuses To Secure The U.S. Mexican Border So ISIS Does THIS It is no secret that the U.S.-Mexico border has been left open, and residence in the United States has been up for grabs for the large numbers of people crossing. This is an issue for more than our economyit is a major threat to our national security. ISIS highlighted that fact when they recently took to Twitter to claim that they intend to cross into the United States from the south. The Texas law department discovered the message, and reported it to the Texas Department of Public Safety to issue d this warning: A review of ISIS social media messaging shows that militants are expressing an increased interest in the notion that they could clandestinely infiltrate the southwest border of US, for terror attack Social media account holders believed to be ISIS militants and propagandists have called for unspecified border operations, or they have sought to raise awareness that illegal entry through Mexico is a viable option The identities of persons operating these accounts cannot be independently verified; however the accounts were selected for monitoring based on several indications that they have been used by actual ISIS militants for propaganda purposes and collectively reach tens of thousands of followers One account was verified as belonging to an individual located in Mosul, Iraq. Agents across a number of Homeland Security, Justice and Defense agencies have all been placed on alert and instructed to aggressively work all possible leads and sources concerning this imminent terrorist threat, Judicial Watch added. The post is not the only threat that has been made by Jihadists in association with our inadequate border security. What do you think? Do we need to protect our country NOW?

2	Obama Is Livid After MSNBC Host Chris Hayes Turns Against Him Obama has just made yet another horrible mistake. In his most recent visit to Paris, he decided it was a good time to talk about the Colorado Shooting and gun policy. He said, I say this every time weve got one of these mass shootings. This just doesnt happen in other countries. He announced this just two weeks after the ISIS attack in Paris which resulted in 130 deaths. Not to mention the massacre that occurred in January which resulted in the death of another 11. MSNBC host Chris Hayes cracked down on Obama. He said Obama messed up big time. When the host of MSNBC turns against Obama, you know he really messed up. Should Obama be impeached before he digs America into an even deeper hole?

Just moments after the comment was made, it was reiterated on her Twitter account to 5 million followers. Of course, thats probably not the best claim to make when you are facing criminal charges yourself That includes you, Hillary, one Twitter follower commented. That goes for you also, Hillary you committed a crime you failed to protect classified information, another added. 
3	FBIs History of Handing Terror Suspects Live ExplosivesTony Cartalucci During the alleged plot, undercover FBI agents posed as accomplices who supplied Ferdaus with one remote-controlled plane, C4 explosives, and small arms that he allegedly envisioned using in a simultaneous ground assault in Washington. However, the public was never in danger from the explosive devices, which were controlled by undercover FBI employees, the FBI said. Ferdaus was arrested in Framingham, near Boston, immediately after putting the newly delivered weapons into a storage container, the FBI said. Authorities described Ferdaus as a physics graduate from Northeastern University who followed al-Qaeda and was committed to violent jihad since early last year. In November 2010, a similar plot was engineered, then disrupted, also by the FBI this time in Portland, Oregon. The so-called Christmas Tree Bomber attempted to remote detonate a van he believed was filled with explosives, provided by the FBI, before being arrested during a Christmas tree lighting ceremony at Pioneer Courthouse Square. The FBIs official statement regarding the incident revealed that FBI agents had handled, even detonated live explosives with the entrapped suspect at Lincoln County Park in the lead up to the final failed bombing. According to the affidavit, on November 4, 2010, Mohamud and the undercover FBI operatives traveled to a remote location in Lincoln County, Ore., where they detonated a bomb concealed in a backpack as a trial run for the upcoming attack. Afterwards, on the drive back to Corvallis, undercover FBI operatives questioned Mohamud as to whether he was capable of looking at the bodies of those who would be killed in the upcoming attack in Portland. According to the affidavit, Mohamud responded, I want whoever is attending that event to leave, to leave either dead or injured. Upon returning to Corvallis that same day, the affidavit alleges that Mohamud recorded a video of himself with the undercover FBI operatives in which he read a written statement that offered a rationale for his bomb attack. On Nov. 18, 2010, undercover FBI operatives picked up Mohamud to travel to Portland in order to finalize the details of the attack. Earlier this evening, Mohamud was arrested after he attempted to remotely detonate what he believed to be explosives in a van that was parked near the Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland, the affidavit alleges. Another similar operation was carried out by the FBI in February 2012, where yet another otherwise incapable patsy was provided with live explosives in the lead up to what was ultimately a failed suicide bombing at the US Capitol. USA Today reported in their article, FBI foils alleged suicide bomb attack on U.S. Capitol, that (emphasis added): According to a counterterrorism official, El Khalifi expressed interest in killing at least 30 people and considered targeting a building in Alexandria and a restaurant, synagogue and a place where military personnel gather in Washington before he settled on the Capitol after canvassing that area a couple of times, the Associated Press writes. During the year-long investigation, El Khalifi detonated explosives at a quarry in the capital region with undercover operatives. He is not believed to be affiliated with al-Qaeda, officials said. The frightening trend of the FBI cultivating otherwise incapable terror suspects, providing them with and detonating real explosives, before giving them inert or controlled devices to carry out attacks on public targets where mass casualties are averted only at the last possible moment, sets the stage for at the very least, incredible potential for catastrophic blunders, and at worst, false flag attacks. Has the FBI ever presided over sting operations that were actually carried out? The answer is yes. The FBI in fact was presiding over the terrorists who carried out the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The role of the FBI leading up to the deadly attack would most likely have gone unreported had an FBI informant not taped his conversations with FBI agents after growing suspicious during the uncover operation. The New York Times in their article, Tapes Depict Proposal to Thwart Bomb Used in Trade Center Blast, reported: Law-enforcement officials were told that terrorists were building a bomb that was eventually used to blow up the World Trade Center, and they planned to thwart the plotters by secretly substituting harmless powder for the explosives, an informer said after the blast. The informer was to have helped the plotters build the bomb and supply the fake powder, but the plan was called off by an F.B.I. supervisor who had other ideas about how the informer, Emad A. Salem, should be used, the informer said. The account, which is given in the transcript of hundreds of hours of tape recordings Mr. Salem secretly made of his talks with law-enforcement agents, portrays the authorities as in a far better position than previously known to foil the Feb. 26 bombing of New York Citys tallest towers. The explosion left six people dead, more than 1,000 injured and damages in excess of half a billion dollars. What takes shape is an FBI at the center of perpetuating Americas terror menace, not at the forefront of fighting it. With every attack foiled or carried out involving FBI uncover operatives revealed only after successful stings or in the case of the World Trade Center bombings, an inconvenient witness stepping forward and revealing the FBIs role, the first and foremost suspect considered after any bombing on US soil should be the FBI itself. Recent explosions at the Boston Marathon have left two dead and many more injured. While the public waits to find out who will be blamed and the role, if any, the FBI played in the lead up to the explosions, it would be best to keep in mind the insidious and/or incompetent role the FBI has played during similar events, some of which have occurred recently and in close proximity to the latest explosions. Already some across the Western media are attempting to draw parallels to the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York and Washington despite the fact that the US is now deliberately funding and arming Al Qaeda in Syria, as well as openly supporting previously listed terrorist organization, Mujahedeen e-Khalq (MEK), in Iran. Vigilance must be kept against Western governments eager to both exploit and perpetuate terrorism and tragedy as well as manufacture it when necessary.

1	Americans across the country admitted Monday that although they desperately wanted corporate lawyer Alex Saunders, 28, to be a huge creep, Christ, he's actually a super fucking nice guy. 'I wanted to hate him, because he's so confident and has perfect hair and this handsome face you want to punch in, but, shit, he's just really awesome and friendly,' said Houston resident Craig Diedrich, echoing the disappointment of 300 million other Americans. 'Turns out he's also really great to his girlfriend. And even though she's so fucking gorgeous that she seems unapproachable, she's really nice, too. Goddamn it.' The majority of the nation said that after talking to Saunders for five minutes they wanted to buy him a drink, but the successful lawyer had reportedly disappeared, only to return a few minutes later with a whole goddamned round of drinks for everyone. 
2	A Family Tragedy Put EVERYTHING Into Perspective, Now George Strait FINALLY Reveals The Secret Hes Kept For Years Losing a child is the hardest thing any human being could ever have to deal with. It is easily the most heartbreaking catastrophe in life. Unfortunately, people lose their children all the time. George Strait knows this pain all too much. George lost a daughter when she was only 13. This loss devastated his entire family. No one knew how to feel or what to say. The family eventually moved on but George says he thinks of his daughter every single day when he wakes up. She was one of the loves of his life. When the Sandy Hook school shootings happened George immediately felt sorrow. He knew how each and every one of the parents was feeling. Each report brought back every memory he had of his daughter. The first thing he did was call his son on the phone. His son felt exactly what George was feeling. The two of them immediately began talking about their lost family member. The call would change them both. Each left their emotions out in the open and what came of it blew us all away. George and his son decided to write a song about their feelings. The song displays every emotion a human would feel if they were to lose a child. It is the most touching song that I have heard in a very long time. He wrote the song but did not fell comfortable with recording it. Then his manager read the lyrics and encouraged the country star to record it. The song is gorgeous and represents all of the emotions that the parents felt during those troubled times. Will you listen to the song? 
1	With rumors swirling about Osama bin Laden's possible death from typhoid fever in Pakistan, Hamida al-Attas, the al-Qaeda leader's mother, said she is 'worried sick' about her son and wished that he would send 'some sort of sign' that he is alive. Al-Hattas just wants to know her son is okay. 'I can't sleep at night not knowing where he is,' said al-Attas, clutching a framed eighth-grade school portrait of bin Laden in the living room of her Jeddah home. 'He could be dead in a ditch somewhere and I would have no idea,' al-Attas added. The fact that al-Qaeda has not staged a major attack in over a year, coupled with the new rumors of bin Laden's death, have increased al-Attas's anxiety over the whereabouts and welfare of her son. 'It's like he disappeared off the face of the earth,' al-Attas said. 'All I ever see of him is the occasional grainy videotape, and he looks so skinny, I'd hardly recognize my own son if it weren't verified by the CIA. I just hope he's taking care of himself.' Saying 'it's a mother's right' to know her child's whereabouts, al-Attas admitted the only time her mind is put at ease is when her son occasionlly checks in with acts of terror such as the Bali nightclub bombing, the Madrid train bombings, and last year's London subway attacks. 'I wish [Osama] would understand the pain he causes me, the worry,' al-Attas said. 'Doesn't he know that his actions can affect others?' 'For his dear mother's sake, I wish he'd carry out an attack,' al-Attas continued. 'Just so I know he's all right.' Instead, al-Attas said she is left to torment herself with dozens of conceivable scenarios of bin Laden's fate. 'What if an elite group of Delta Force assassins ambushed him in a remote Pakistani mountain pass?' said al-Attas, wringing her hands at her kitchen table. 'What if some unscrupulous local informant revealed his hidden location? What if he slept in one of those dirty hotel comforters I saw on the news that are covered in germs? No mother should have to go through this with her son.' Even if bin Laden is alive, his 'neglectful' appearance gives al-Attas no less reason to worry about his state. 'If I know my Osama, his [cave] is a shambles,' said al-Attas, who noted that his beard was 'getting a little out of hand' in the last photos she saw of him, and that his fatigues and Afghan-style headdress 'didn't look warm enough.' 'When he's on his own, he doesn't look after himself properly. I can't tell you how many times his father and I have gotten on him about that. But I guess he's always been stubborn.' 'It's only because I love him so much,' she added. Bin Laden Admitting that bin Laden was no longer 'the nice boy who'd come home from al-Thager Model School all eager to tell me about his day,' al-Attas said she regretted the fact that he has not been a part of the extended family in so long. 'Since he never gets to the yearly reunions, I bet he doesn't even know that his 14th half-sister [Iftikar] just had a baby,' al-Attas said. 'His younger cousins would love to spend some time with him, but they wouldn't even know what he looked like if it wasn't for all those propaganda posters.' Although al-Attas said she realizes bin Laden is busy, and understands his line of work requires focus and constant travel, the fretful mother said, 'I just wish he would pick up a phone every once in a while' between meetings to let her know he is all right. 'My friends tell me that he's a big boy, and that he can take care of himself,' al-Attas said. 'But it's all I can do not to rush out and scour the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan myself.' 'He could be Allah knows where doing Allah knows what,' she added. Al-Attas has even contemplated releasing a videotape of her own urging bin Laden to let her know he's alive, and to tell her whether he is wearing the mukluks she sent him in 2002. But whatever trouble he may be in, al-Attas said she hoped bin Laden knew that he would 'always be my baby' and that 'he can always come home.' 'I can't imagine a world without him,' al-Attas added. 
3	Israeli troops destroy four Palestinian homes and 52 electricity pylonsMadison Ruppert, Contributor These activities are hardly surprising given that the state of Israel recently spat in the face of the international community by refusing to cooperate with a probe conducted by the United Nations Human Rights Council and banning them from entering to investigate illegal settlements. Furthermore, in the past Israel has simply moved to retroactively claim that illegal settlements were somehow legal, even though the private Palestinian lands were looted from their owners. At 4:00 am (0100 GMT) army tractors demolished four homes and 52 electricity pylons in the al-Makhrureh area of Beit Jalla, Mazen al-Azzeh, coordinator of the Popular Campaign to Fight Settlements in Bethlehem, said to AFP. Al-Azzeh said that they were doing this to connect two illegal Israeli settlements which are currently 10 kilometers, or six miles, apart from each other. The AFP correspondent reported that this demolition left the residents in the area without any electricity, which could have many negative impacts on the quality of life of these besieged peoples. This is a mostly a Christian area, al-Azzeh stated, adding, As the world celebrates Easter, this is the Israeli governments gift to the Palestinian Christian community. This tragic incident also comes as Israel has announced even more illegal settlements in Jerusalem (East al-Quds). Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat announced that of now they have vowed to build almost 200 new homes in a new neighborhood called Kidmat Zion, built on land purchased by Irving Moskowitz, an American millionaire. A spokesman for the civil administration, which is the military unit responsible for building issues in what is known as Area C claimed that he knew nothing of the demolitions. Area C is the segment of the West Bank, spanning around 60 percent of the whole of the West Bank, which is under the control of the Israeli military and civilians. Israeli demolitions of Palestinian homes in Area C and the annexed Arab east Jerusalem is a tragically common practice. The usual go-to claim is that the buildings were built without the required permits, although this hardly justifies the complete demolition of homes of people who already live in a state of constant attack. Palestinians say that it is nearly impossible for them to obtain the required permits and permission to build in these areas. Many human rights groups and prominent international institutions, including the United Nations, have condemned these actions and called on Israel to end the demolition of Palestinian homes, citing the extensive human suffering that they cause. It will be interesting to see if the United Nations does anything as these crimes continue and they are rebuffed by Israel in their attempts to investigate the settlement activity. Of course, the United States will likely do absolutely nothing. Perhaps if the publicity is bad enough, they will issue a meaningless statement, but I cant imagine them doing anything more based on historical precedent.

1	TUPELO, MSThe Blessed Mother Mary said Monday that devout Catholic Anthony Montero is simply praying to her as a way to get to her Son, Jesus Christ. 'People exploit me for my connections, worshipping me as a way to get closer to Jesus,' said the Holy Virgin, bathed in a golden light and attended by seraphim. 'How would Anthony feel if I called upon him in the guise of friendship, but simply wanted his cousin to do some plumbing work for me? It's just rude.' Our Lady added that, if Montero wants to reach Jesus so badly, maybe he should 'grow a pair and pray to Him directly.' 
3	Does the FDA Think Youre Stupid?Chris Wood, Senior Analyst It sure seems so. The Food and Drug Administration, which bills itself as the oldest comprehensive consumer protection agency in the US federal government, probably stirs up more emotion among citizens than any other federal agency (save perhaps for the IRS). For good reason. The range of activities into which the FDA is mandated to poke its supervisory fingers is vast and includes most prominently the regulation of most types of foods, dietary supplements, medical devices, human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other biological products, and cosmetics. And this time its really gone too far. On November 22, 2013, the FDA sent a warning letter to the well-known consumer genomics company 23andMe, ordering it to immediately discontinue marketing its only product. For those of you who are not familiar with 23andMe, the company provides a DNA Spit Kit and Personal Genome Service (PGS) that supposedly reports on 240+ health conditions and traits and helps clients track their ancestral lineage. Basically, you send a saliva sample in via the Spit Kit, and the company analyzes the sample using a DNA sequencing machine. So what were talking about here with 23andMe is information, not a medical device. Its your personal genetic information. And the FDA wants to put the kibosh on one of the only companies providing this service inexpensivelyyou get your Spit Kit and readout for just $99to consumers. This is really a first amendment issue, and the FDA should not be in the business of regulating freedom of speech and information. But considering what the FDA thinks of your intelligence, Im not surprised theyre trying to reach this far. Consider some of the language from the FDAs warning letter to 23andMe. For instance, if the BRCA-related risk assessment for breast or ovarian cancer reports a false positive, it could lead a patient to undergo prophylactic surgery, chemoprevention, intensive screening, or other morbidity-inducing actions, while a false negative could result in a failure to recognize an actual risk that may exist. Really? You think that if a woman receives news from a $99 test that she may be at a higher risk for breast cancer due to a genetic mutation that shes going to run out and somehow acquire chemo drugs and start dosing herself, or that shes going to go to some back-alley clinic to have her breasts lopped off? Not to be crude or make light of a very serious situation and condition, but the FDAs implication is insulting, to say the least. What would actually happen in the real world is that shed go to a doctor to get herself checked out, perhaps sooner rather than later, which isnt a bad thing even if the 23andMe test showed a false positive. Now, if the test showed a positive for the mutation and she is in fact positivewhich would have to be confirmed by a separate test from a doctor anyway before a mastectomyit is her right to undergo such surgery whether or not it is determined to be medically necessary. This is precisely what Angelina Jolie recently did. The false negative argument is maybe a little more plausible, but despite what the FDA might believe, people who are proactive enough about their genetic makeup to seek out a service like the PGS from 23andMe are smart. They know that no test is foolproof or 100% accurate. People receive false negative tests from federally regulated labs and physicians all the time. Its unfortunate, but thats the way these things work. You dont see anybody making a stink that these tests shouldnt be run just because theres a small chance of delivering a patient a false negative result. In response to the FDAs warning letter, 23andMe has stopped all TV, radio, and online advertising for its PGS, although the service is still being sold on the website. The situation is still unfolding, so whether or not the FDA decides that the company is now in compliance because its no longer marketing the PGS remains to be seen. It could determine that just having the website active is a form of marketing, which could be the nail in the coffin for the company. Well have to see. According to the FDA, 23andMe had 15 working days (starting November 22) to notify it of the specific actions the company has taken to address all of the issues raised in the letter. As expected, an additional consequence of the FDAs warning letter is a class action lawsuit that was filed just five days after the letter was sent. The lawsuit alleges that the test results are meaningless, and that 23andMe uses false and misleading advertising to promote its services to US consumers. The lawsuit seeks at least $5 million under various California state laws and estimates tens or hundreds of thousands of US customers are entitled to damages from the company. Look, I get that many of you probably think the FDA had every right to do what it did. And Ill admit that its actions probably were legally justified, since 23andMes advertising campaign did seem to market the PGS for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, which falls under the FDAs purview. I also understand why detractors of consumer genomics companies think the FDA should shut down 23andMe and all its peers/competitorsbecause people engaging the services of these companies dont get the full picture, and whats going on is much more complex. Only part of a persons DNA is tested, and how to properly interpret the results is still uncertain, since many factors other than a mutation in isolation contribute to disease. But when do we ever get the full picture? Even a readout of our entire genome is only a small part of the story. A key takeaway from whats known as the ENCODE Project is that much of what was previously thought of as junk DNA actually performs regulatory functionswhich can be thought of as regions that act like switches attached to a particular gene that determine whether or not theyll be expressed. There are millions of such regions throughout the genome, and theyre linked to each other (and to the protein-coding genes) in an extremely complicated hierarchical network. Whats more, the linear ordering of the genome provides a further source of confusion: the three-dimensional folding of the chromosomes inside the nucleus allows promoter regions to maintain a close connection to genes that apparently lie far away on the linear sequence. This explains why so much biochemical activity can be found even deep in the deserts of the alleged junk DNA. Many of these promoter regions manifest themselves in the cell as functional RNA moleculestypes of RNA that are an end product in themselves, rather than merely an intermediate step on the way to becoming a protein, and that play a key role in switching genes on and off. In truth, we never get the full story, no matter whom we turn to, and theres nothing wrong with bits and pieces of information to help us make decisions along the way (or just to satisfy our curious nature). And thats really the whole point here. I dont really care if what the FDA did was technically legal or that some people think it makes sense in order to keep others from harming themselves in some way. What matters is that this ultimately boils down to informationpersonal genetic information. And whether 23andMe does a good job of providing that or not, its our right to seek out such a service and use it if we so desire.

2	McDonalds Just Took An Took An Epic Stand In THIS Unbelievable Way According to recent reports, McDonalds, Pizza Hut, and KFC have banded together in a stand against pressure to give in to Shariah Law. Political Insider reported that these three restaurant chains have turned down a request to serve Islam-approved meat in their establishments. Mufti Muhammad Arshad, and Imam in Hong Kong, reportedly contacted the chains, asserting that it would be a shrewd business move to use Halal meats. Its disappointing that we could not convince the companies, Arshad told reporters. It doesnt have to be Hong Kong-wide. In the main areas, like Central, Wan Chai, Tsim Sha Tsui, the New Territories and at the airport, it would be a great service. The companies have to realize there is a need for this and that it is good business for them. What do you think? Did these companies make a better business move by turning down Arshads demands? 
1	Rodney Granger, 46, a Phoenix-area father of three, drops frequent hints about his wife Sandy's sexual proclivities, his creeped-out children announced Monday. Rodney and Sandy Granger with their three grossed-out children. 'Yesterday, we passed a sign on this supermarket loading dock that said 'Deliveries In The Rear.' Dad jabbed Mom, and they both started to laugh,' said Andrew, the couple's 13-year-old son. 'I acted like I didn't get it, but I got it all right. Apparently, Mom does, too.' According to Andrew's sister Erin, 11, the remark was far from atypical. 'On weekends, Dad and I sometimes go to the park to shoot hoops,' Erin said. 'Last Saturday, Dad told me to go without him, saying, 'Your mom needs me to take care of some things at home.' Then he smiled in this really weird way. I did not need to know that.' Erin said she believes her father is unaware that she, Andrew, and even 8-year-old Rachel are able to pick up on much of his thinly veiled sexual innuendo. 'I didn't used to get what Dad was saying, but now I'm catching on more and more,' Erin said. 'I'm starting to miss those days when I didn't know what Dad meant by, 'Your mother doesn't get tired very easily,' or 'It's time to do some drilling.' Blech.' As the oldest child, Andrew said he better understands his father's comments than his sisters do. As a result, he tries to protect them. 'Sometimes, Rachel will ask me what Dad meant by some strange comment, like 'It's seed-planting time,'' Andrew said. 'I'll say, 'He was talking about putting some tulips in the garden.' I can't let her know what sort of shit is going on in her own house.' Still, little Rachel is beginning to catch on to the racy double talk. 'On Mom's birthday, Dad told her she'd get her other present later,' Rachel said. 'Well, I know what that meant. That meant some sort of sex or something. Eww, nasty.' 'They're always kissing in front of us, even Frenching,' Andrew said. 'How disgusting is that?' Last week, on family board-game night, Rachel expressed her disgust with the open displays of affection. Her protestations, however, fell on deaf ears: Her father kissed her mother throughout the Pictionary contest, saying that he couldn't resist because she is 'the best kisser in town.' Granger then added, 'Just ask your Uncle Kyle,' provoking playful slaps from Sandy. The Uncle Kyle remark, Erin explained, was an allusion to events of many years ago. 'I heard the story about how Dad stole Mom from his brother Kyle, who went on one date with her a long, long time ago, before Mom and Dad were ever married,' Erin said. 'But now I have to imagine Mom making out with Uncle Kyle. God, I want to puke.' Equally nauseous is Andrew. 'I spend a lot of time at my friend Danny's house, and his parents never touch each other at all,' Andrew said. 'Why are Mom and Dad still chasing each other around the table and tackling each other in piles of leaves on the front lawn? It completely makes me want to barf. If I grow up warped, it's so their fault.' 
2	Surprising Celebrity Joins Forces With Trump... And Its Not Rosie On Wednesday night, President-Elect Donald Trump shocked the nation by holding an impromptu press conference with boxing promoter Don King after the two attended a dinner party in Palm Beach, Florida. According to Daily Mail, King spent the night visiting Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate when they appeared on the front steps to take questions from reporters. King was spotted carrying a dozen flags, including those of the US and Israel. He was also wearing two large diamond necklaces, one with a pendant of Star of David and the other with the star spangled banner. During the press conference, Trump dismissed his controversial interactions with Barack Obama, saying he had a very, very good talk with the current president. We talked about it and smiled about it and nobody is ver going to know because we are never going to be going against each other, Trump noted. While standing next to Trump, King called for peace in the Middle East and added how he wanted everyone to come together as one unit and make things happen. What do you think of this interaction? 
3	Its Official! City Of Philadelphia Effectively Ends Veteran HomelessnessBy Amanda Froelich Since August 2013, reports Philadelphia News, 1,390 Philadelphia veterans have been connected to permanent housing. Only 15 remain on the street, and thats their choice as they dont want to be housed,says the citys mayor. At a recent City Hall news conference, Mayor Nutter addressed the remaining veterans living on the streets: I have a message for each of you who are still out there. We honor your service and your sacrifices. You deserve a home. We wont give up on you. The Philadelphia effort was led by Philly Vets Home, a coalition of local government agencies, nonprofit groups and the local Veterans Administration (VA) Hospital in the city. A program was developed that moved veterans into emergency housing within just a few days of becoming or being identified as homeless similar to a successful program implemented in the state of Virginia. Veterans were then moved into transitional housing within 47 days and into a permanent home within 105. U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro told city leaders: You have actually done it. You have effectively ended veteran homelessness. The thing is that we cant stop our work until every single veteran has a place to call home in the United States. More positive news is on the horizon. Since 2013, states, counties, and cities across the nation have stepped up efforts to find every vet a permanent home and, in effect, have reduced veteran homelessness by one-third! Earlier this year, New Orleans, Louisiana, became the first city in the United States to eliminate veteran homelessness. And Virginia became the first state to reach the same goal on Veterans Day, November 11th. What are your thoughts? Comment below and share this news! This article (Its Official! City Of Philadelphia Effectively Ends Veteran Homelessness) 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 This is awesome. As anti-war as I am (I even have a bumper sticker that says Im already against the next war,) and as much as I want very low taxes and a much more free economy and more civil liberties (Oh yes, Im one of them thar crazy libertarians and support Ron Paul totally and Rand to a point), we ***OWE*** our veterans. We do not take proper care of the veterans we have but go on making more of them. To provide housing is as important as providing medical care to them. It doesnt have to be fancy. Those mini-houses would fill the bill, or small apartments, or spartan hotel rooms. A roof over the head, heat for winter and A/C if needed for summer. ***BUT*** and knowing a bit about the nature of government, it *MUST* be *VOLUNTARY,* i.e. made available, making sure they know its there for them at any time, but no strings and no attempts to talk them into anything. You have a good point. Have you heard of Agenda 21? Look it up. Its intentions are not honorable, but they provide something that could be of help here..housing! Not only have I heard of Agenda 21 but I dont like a single thing about it that I know so far. I have a blog (google me and see my most recent essay on education) and hope to write an essay on Agenda 21/New World Order. As for new homes being built, my question is *by* whom? By the government? Yes then Id wonder exactly for whom? By the private sector? Then I think that our economy is distorted so badly due to bad monetary policy that the private sector believes there will be demand for this housing and a profit can be made from it. It might not even be finished when they realize it was a bad move, or, if finished, units might stand empty for years. I suspect that they will believe that what they are doing is good for them and the economy. But if there is nothing or very little left. Those with the skills will probably not be around to accomplish their goals. Power doesnt always omit stupidity. Nobody who has a sound mind likes it! This was discussed in the mid-90s as a possible solution to reduce traffic by providing a complete housing and shopping center for the residents there. What it really is is the place where when they want to move people to the internment camps, they have them in segments to collect them and move them there. Where I live they have built a huge number of such buildings and are still doing it right now! Now you know why so many people are losing their one family homes. Its not just the money thing! If you are not an American you see the US vets as part of the former problems of the world. What is so great about idiots who put on a uniform to oppress and tyrannize the rest of the world? Thats true but it is the big guys who make the decisions who are to blame for that. This article was about the little guys, the guys in the trenches who *thought* they were fighting to preserve our freedom, but were really fighting for the big guys in the establishment. (Freedom??? What freedom???We have ***ZERO*** freedom thanks to Bush/Obama!) True enough, for the most part, but at what point does I was just following orders no longer act as a valid excuse? Although its difficult to oppose authority it is mighty difficult, and those fighting these endless, illegal wars of expansion have to learn to listen to their own conscience instead of orders. Whether we (the little guys veterans, non-veterans, doesnt matter) follow orders or not, killing is still killing, murder is still murder, and when young men and women are sent out to murder other people that have no issue with us, somethings gotta give. Thats correct, Mike. Just following orders is not any excuse for wrongdoing. I really dont know the answer. We simply have to end all these wars, close down overseas bases, bring the troops home. Read _Healing Our World_ by Mary Ruwart, 2015 edition. We simply need to see them as guys who answered the call, believing (and being led to believe) that their country would do the right thing and take care of them when they lost their limbs, their sanity and, in many cases, their families. No matter what you think about Americas foreign policy, they deserve to have the government fulfill their end of the bargain. Is that hard to understand? Youre full of sh!t. and youre a mindless troll. As a US veteran, I actually agree with GIVVO6_B. Ive been saying we need to close down ALL of our overseas bases for years. Bring our soldiers home, where they belong, to protect our borders instead of other peoples borders. Good idea, but we (the US gov) still need to help the vets, no matter their reasons for going to war or what they did during the war. We wouldnt have the freedoms we have (and used too have) if it werent for vets fighting for our country. We (the US) owe them! Your vets are useless and never win wars. You are only on the winning side when allied to real soldiers like the Red Army which won WW2 or the former British Empire that won WW1. Great protection you got by invading Vietnam and getting your butts kicked by a nation of 15 million North Vietnamese. Now Afghanistan is falling again to the Taliban and it is the Syrian Arab army aided by Iran which will destroy ISIS. My vets? What country are you from? The world owes your vets megadeath as that is what they hand out to the civilians of the Middle East, Afghanistan, South East Asia, South America and everywhere the morons go. End the USA and all its evils and set the world free. You sound like I terrorist. Maybe someone should report you. You sound like one of the real terrorists. A country founded by terrorists and working to a constitution written by traitors, slave owners and Indian killers. The same country that continually murders millions on every continent and backs the Pharisees and enemies of Christ. I bet your are merely an arrogant Septic. Youre full of hate. I feel sorry for you. I certainly hate the murderous and arrogant clowns of the USA and look forward to the whole world using Vietnam as a pattern and put all you arrogant and ignorant big heads in their place. You didnt answer my question. What country are you in? Absolutely right. Close the bases and go home. The US is protected by the Atlantic and the Pacific with friendly countries to the north and south. America has enough natural resources to live the so-called American dream which you have turned into a nightmare by being bankrupt and immoral. Im a US Vet, too, and I agree with shutting down the bases and bringing our troops home. I just dont agree with you blaming our Vets for that not happening. Its our stinking Govt thats to blame. Interesting! We dont house homeless children or Seniors, those most vulnerable but we house grown men who fought in wars abroad. Know why? Because they know how to shoot guns. Theyre capable of revolution. So you have to buy them off. Thank you Eric Shinseki This a wonderful improvement over what our country usually gives to vets. I hope its real and continues. They deserve more than we can ever repay. Thanks to all who made this happen. Vets, not vets. Maybe they ended homelessness for veterans the same way polio was eradicated. You know, redefining it. I was thinking along similar lines; maybe theyve eradicated homelessness among the veterans because they eliminated the problem the homeless veterans themselves. Im a veteran, and I was homeless, but long before I joined the service. I dont trust the government, not even local. Peace. lol.Right on that, try telling the facts to a pro vax nut job, they are violent, angry, and cant even cite one doctor or study from the thousands that they say prove them right. If man obeys the voice of the body, which is the carnal earthly being, he builds unto death; for in the flesh there can be no continued conscious existence. If he obeys the voice of the divine spark within, then does he build the great temple, the temple not made with hands, which is eternal. If we have so many homeless veterans in these united States, why is it that its taken this long to get one city and one State to activate such a program. Why arent the rest willing to do the same thing around this country. We send our men and women to fight across the woirld and allegedly thank them for their service. I get a number of handshakes and I also give a lot as well. But its not just those who are able to move on. We have many, just in my city of Stanton. Ive not asked specifically about veterans; more in general for so many individuals without homes in various crevises around town. I tend to believe quite a few are veterans of diferent wars. If we honor our men and women on Veterans Day, then we should consider those in the streets as well. There is no separation when you are in combat. One works as part of a team. Then why is it that we dont do the same at home? Are we hypocrits by this division? Can something be done about this? Yes, but communities need to participate with everyone doing some part to deal with this problem. Oh, and putting them in one of the internment camps isnt the solution. It compounds the problem even more. Any suggestions? You vote for them and are as arrogant as your government, so I look forward to your demise. Wrong. I dont vote for any of them because our votes dont count anymore, if they ever did. Theyre appointed by the powers that be. Google it. As much as I dislike your accusations, I dont wish for YOUR demise. I hope you have a long and happy life. However, you have major issues. Seek professional help. The US military should get help for their issues about being a bunch of psychopaths. Those who are found sane need to be incarcerated for life as mass murderers and being merely hit men for the greedy thieves of Wall Street. . The rest of the world only owes your veterans a bullet in the head as pay back. 
2	AE May Cancel Duck Dynasty After Shocking Lies About The Cast Revealed According to recent reports, fans are quite upset with the Duck Dynasty family after they decided to ditch an autograph-signing event in April. Now, many are beginning to question whether the TV familys reputation for being down-to-earth is a bunch of lies. Some recent facts surrounding the family do not help the way the shafted fans are feeling, either. Recently, a picture was released to the media that revealed that the Robertson men did not have their signature beards until it became a part of their brand. When the family began to rise to fame, they decided to take on the look. Also there have been some very questionable reports about Phil Robertsons behavior. For one thing, some claim that Robertson spent the vast majority of his 20a high on various drugs. Now, he claims to be a man of God. That does not erase his history of infidelity and drug use, however, or the fact that he once assaulted a couple during a bar fight and sent them straight to the hospital. And, the virtuous man also separately from MissKay for three months early in their marriage. The controversy does not stop there. Phils mother was left off the show after suffering a mental breakdown and being diagnosed as a manic-depressive. Uncle Si has been known to struggle with alcohol abuse, and has another son name Scott who reportedly has been suicidal for the majority of his life. What do you think? Do these facts change your feelings about the Robertson family, or do you still stand behind them? 
1	In a moving and beautiful ceremony held atop Lower Manhattan's gleaming, 120-story-tall Freedom Tower, the nation commemorated the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks by raising a glass to the stable democracy of Afghanistan and to a decade of unprecedented peace and prosperity across the globe. As a brilliant cascade of red, white, and blue fireworks lit up the skyscraper's observation deck, those in attendance reflected on the horrible tragedy that improbably, and stirringly, gave way to a harmonized Middle East and one of the most triumphant and fruitful eras in the history of the great American republic. 'A decade ago, 3,000 of our citizens perished in a senseless attack on American soil, and as I stand here today atop this magnificent edifice, celebrating the thriving republic of Afghanistan and all our allies in the now wholly stable Muslim world, it's clear the U.S. has not only risen from the ashes, it has flourished,' said former U.S. president and master of ceremonies George W. Bush, who was widely applauded after 9/11 for respecting the rights of citizens at home and abroad while combating terrorism through largely peaceful means. 'These last 10 years could have been divisive, turbulent, sad, hopeless, and grotesque. But instead, they were the exact opposite of those things. And for that we must all feel both blessed and truly proud.' Afghanistan, which has served as a beacon of harmony and progress in the Middle East ever since the U.S. militarys brief intervention in 2001. 'May we always know a tranquility as real and lasting as this!' added Bush, raising his glass high as the families of 9/11 victims and various Muslims from around the world held hands in a swaying circle around him. 'To us! To all of us!' The Freedom Tower's annual 9/11 ceremony, which has taken place every year since the architectural masterpiece's swift completion in 2004, was founded to honor the victims of the terrorist act committed by al-Qaeda, a militant Islamist group that was eradicated following the swift capture of their leader, Osama bin Laden, three months after Sept. 11, 2001. As always, members of the multiple mosques nearby were welcomed to the ceremony with open arms, and Afghan foreign-exchange students arrived bearing gifts of flowers from their grateful nation, a reminder to many in attendance that the course of history after that crucial day could have taken a drastically different turn. 'It's truly scary to think of all the myriad ways we, as a nation, could have gone astray in the months and years following 9/11,' said retired Gen. Tommy Franks, on hand to look back on his revered role in America's successful half-year intervention in Afghanistan. 'But fortunately, we concentrated our efforts not on swaggering aggression, fear-stoking, preemptive strikes, or an overinvestment in defense, but on restoring our reputation around the globe, fostering good relations with Muslims, and keeping our economy strong and robust.' 'Of course, the tragedy of 9/11 could have been avoided entirely if there had been any warnings whatsoever from the intelligence community that such a thing was going to happen,' Franks added. 'Unfortunately, as we later learned, there were none.' In attendance at the tasteful ceremony were hundreds of U.S. service members currently stationed at home awaiting orders of any imminent threats, respectful and nonpartisan members of the national news media, and trusted foreign allies such as Venezuelan president Hugo Chvez, the second female president of Afghanistan, Malalai Joya, and Iranian president Mir-Hossein Mousavi. Former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who retired quietly from the political scene in 2002, was also on hand, opting as always not to give a speech, saying that such a gesture would be 'a selfish exploitation of the events of that tragic day.' Following the last of many toasts, attendees gathered in the Freedom Tower's Dick Cheney Memorial Auditorium to watch journalist Daniel Pearl's special retrospective on the successful 2002 prosecution of all known terror suspects through fair and legal trials. Former president Bush concluded the ceremony with a few short words. 'To think, what could have been merely a grim, pathetic reminder of our own pain and subsequent failure has instead been reclaimed by this great nation as a reminder of our success, our resiliency, and our core American values of decency and love,' said Bush, who departed later that night for a climate change conference in China. 'Thank God we had the courage, intelligence, and foresight to react the way we did after the worst day in American history.' 'And thank God we didn't make a huge mistake by needlessly invading a country like Iraq,' Bush added. 'If we had, I guarantee you none of us would be standing here today.' 
2	Obama Is FURIOUS After Special Ops Take MASSIVE Stand Against Him According to recent reports, top U.S. special operations commanders are meeting in Tampa for a special ops forum, and have just announced that they are building forces for a fight with the Islamic Stateno matter what Obama says. Were patient, Lt. Gen Bradley Heithold, head of Air Force Special Operations Command told reporters. Many special ops officers and troops claim that they want to start fighting ISIS now. Were doing everything through cellphones, one special operator claims. In fact, many officers at the forum believe that Mosul and Ramadi would still be standing if U.S. military advisers had been with Iraqi forces on the front-lines. The major takeaway from the event so far is that special ops leaders are letting Obama know that his failure to allow U.S. military personnel to engage with ISIS is only going to lead to more advances. What do you think? Does Obama need to step down from the White House and let a leader take his place? 
1	Overcome with a mixture of distaste at the almost certain future and a wistful sense at the way things could and should have been, baseball fans across America took time to address veteran Reds superstar Ken Griffey Jr. yesterday in order to let him know that they sincerely wish that Griffey, and not Barry Bonds, was on the verge of hitting his record-breaking 756th home run. 'Don't take this the wrong way, Mr. Griffey, because the last thing we as a nation want is for you to think you've disappointed us by not breaking this record,' the country's message, which was read to a quiet and humble Griffey by retired Seattle, WAarea mechanical engineer and lifelong baseball fan Robert Colgrave, began. 'America knows you did everything you could, and we couldn't be more proud of you. In fact, that's the whole pointwe think you're a man who is actually worthy of this record.' 'Believe us, if life was as fair as baseball, you'd have 760 homers right now,' said Colgrave, pausing as if momentarily overcome. 'More, even. And you'd still be chalking them up. You're a natural talent. God's gift to the baseball diamond. It's just Damn bad luck, is all. Bad luck and trouble.' The likeable but injury-plagued Griffey currently stands eighth on the all-time home-run list with 574, only nine back from Mark McGwire in seventh. However, America insists that without the bizarre injuries that plagued his career, Griffey would have had a legitimate shot at hitting 756. 'I mean, when a guy misses out on the Rookie of the Year because he slips and hurts his wrist in the shower Where's the sense in that?' America said. 'Being denied the single-season home run record in 1994 because of the baseball strike? Not fair. It's amazing that with every bad hand you've been dealt that you haven't packed it in and called it a day. Frankly, you're an inspirationunlike some players this nation could name.' The nation then went out of its way to praise Griffey for the many great moments and high points of Griffey's career, claiming it had 'always meant to do so but never seemed to find the right moment.' Special attention was paid to Griffey's decision to play for his father's old team, wearing his father's No. 30, in the city of his youth; his decision to wear Jackie Robinson's No. 42 on Jackie Robinson Day, and to encourage other players to do so; and his appearance on The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air. Throughout the address, the nation emphasized the humility, grace, and joy with which Griffey embraced the national pastime. They talked about buying his batting gloves and signature baseball cleats as children, imitating his stance and perfect home-run swing in batting cages, and how they would ask their father's to hit long fly balls so they could make 'Griffey-esque' catches in centerfield. They talked about his 1989 Upper Deck rookie card, and how, instead of going down in value with every hamstring injury, it should have skyrocketed in price with his 800th, maybe 900th home run. They talked about the guy who made wearing baseball caps backwards cool. And they talked about the elation they felt when Griffey became the first one to ever hit the Camden Yards Warehouse during a monstrous shot in 1993's Home Run Derby. 'I would be proud to have Ken Griffey Jr. break my home-run record,' current record-holder and Hall of Fame legend Hank Aaron said upon being told of the nation's statement. 'I would most certainly attend any game in which he had a chance of doing so. And I would come down from the stands and hug him fiercely after he crossed the plate and had been congratulated by his teammates. I really don't think I'd be able to help myself.' 'Hell, I'll probably attend the game he's playing in when my record is broken in any case,' Aaron added. Baseball commissioner Bud Selig, responding to overwhelming demand, has confirmed that an asterisk will be placed next to Griffey's name in the record books in order to indicate that, in a perfect world where dignity is always rewarded, cheaters never triumph, and people always get what they really deserve, Griffey would have hit one more home run than Barry Bonds' career total. 
1	Warning that those who go on such weekend outings do so at their own peril, a study released Friday by researchers at Washington State University found that more than four in five couples who walk around exploring new neighborhoods never make it back home. Our evidence suggests that the vast majority of couples who decide to take an afternoon stroll through a part of town theyve never visited before simply vanish without a trace, said the reports author, Monica Briggins, noting that barely 15 percent of couples who decide to check out a cute little area they read about online or a new tapas bar on the other side of the city actually end up returning safe and unharmed to their residences. Of course, of that 84 percent who wind up being listed in missing persons reports, only about half their bodies are ever located and recovered. We found that the remaining half of couples who wanted to take advantage of the nice weather and finally visit a citys up-and-coming arts district are simply never seen or heard from again. The report follows on the heels of a recent study that found that 71 percent of couples who go jogging together become completely lost and must resort to cannibalism. 
3	Cannabis Extract Fights Incurable Form of LeukemiaSayer Ji There are plenty of anecdotal reports of the successful use of cannabis in treating cancer, but few cases occur under conventional medical supervision, and virtually none make it into a peer-reviewed biomedical journal as a case report. Remarkably, however, just such a case was reported in Case Reports in Oncology last year, and involved a 14-year-old girl diagnosed with a form of cancer of the white blood cells known as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Despite a high remission rate for ALL after 5 year of 94% in children and 30-40% in adults using conventional combination chemotherapy, this particular child was diagnosed with a very aggressive (i.e. conventional treatment resistant) form of ALL (positive for the Philadelphia chromosome mutation). After undergoing a protracted series of unsuccessful conventional treatments over the course of 34 months including a bone marrow transplant, aggressive chemotherapy and radiation therapy the girls case was pronounced incurable, with the patients hematologist/oncologist stating that she suffers from terminal malignant disease, expecting her condition to progress rapidly towards death. With Rick Simpsons assistance, the family used cannabis oil extract for the next 78 days, with regular monitoring of the blast cell count, the primary indicator of the malignant progression of the disease process. The figure below shows the successful suppression of the blast cells using cannabis extract. Clearly, the cannabis extract was effective at inhibiting the uncontrolled proliferation of the girls leukemia, without the highly toxic side effects of conventional treatment. Sadly, however, on day 78, the 14-year-old passed away as a consequence of bleeding associated with bowel perforation, and ultimately the lasting adverse effects of the original 34 months of aggressive treatment she had underwent previous to cannabis. In the discussion portion of the case report, the authors noted, The study authors believe this therapy should be viewed as polytherapy, owing to the fact that a wide range of cannabinoids have been found within resinous extract, which demonstrate a variety of anti-cancer properties, e.g. anti-angiogenic, anti-proliferative, etc. They further acknowledged the potential for the profound superiority of cannabinoid therapy to conventional treatments: For those looking for additional research on the anti-cancer and related health properties of cannabinoids, use our database on cannabis or download our cannabis research pdf.

1	Surpassing their anxieties regarding public speaking, mass shootings, and natural disasters, Americans single greatest concern, according to the latest results of the Chapman Survey On American Fears released Friday, is that their waitress will forget about them. More than 70 percent of the individuals we surveyed listed having their waitress set down some glasses of water, promise to come back and take their order when theyre ready, and then never return to their table as their number one fear in life, said sociologist Christopher Bader, adding that the majority of the 1,500 poll respondents said they experience a deep and persistent worry that their server will continue attending to other patrons, but never make her way back to them, at least once per week. For millions of Americans, the fear that they might find themselves stuck at a table or booth as their waitress disappears into the kitchen forever, leaving them to helplessly grow hungrier and hungrier without their appetizers, can become completely overwhelming, leading to debilitating feelings of helplessness and negative changes in mood. The poll determined that Americans second-most common fear was that their waitress would take their order, but then a shift change would occur without her ever conveying the information to the next server. 
1	In one of the deadliest acts of cinematic terrorism in recent years, the Palestinian Liberation Organization claimed responsibility Monday for the bombing of the Touchstone Pictures comedy Krippendorfs Tribe. 'To protest the continued Jewish occupation of our homeland, we have engineered the bombing of this film, creating singularly unappealing promotional ads and posters; giving it a formulaic script filled with tired, unfunny gags; and devoting more than 45 minutes of screen time to a naked, body-painted Richard Dreyfuss,' a PLO statement said of the bombing, which claimed the jobs of three Touchstone executives. 'Return Palestine to its rightful owners, or we shall mastermind a three-hour Steve Guttenberg/Shelley Long romantic comedy such that the world has never seen.' 
2	Mother Discovers Her Son Is Race Rioting, So She Does Something UNTHINKABLE [VIDEO] A new video from the Baltimore race riots has gone viral, and its not what you may think. The violence that has broken out in response to Grays death has been criticized immensely. What started as a peaceful protest has quickly turned in to the throwing of bricks and bottles at police officers, vandalizing of vehicles, and the destruction of local business. We are all disappointment by the actions of these thugs who are causing so much harm, but nobody is more disappointed than this mother, who catches her son in the middle of a violent riot. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Did this mom do the right thing? 
1	Eleven-year-old Dan Weisz, reportedly his mother's precious sweetheart, viciously ridiculed an overweight classmate for 30 minutes straight this morning on the Middlebury Elementary School playground. 'You couldn't ask for a more loving, well-behaved boy,' Donna Weisz said of the son who is the apple of her eye and whose tireless mockery of another boys body type during recess continued with such ruthless intensity that it appeared to be unimpeded by anything even approximating a human conscience. 'Every day with him is such a special gift. His father and I feel truly blessed.' By press time, mother's little angel had systematically broken down any remaining sense of self-worth his overweight classmate may have previously possessed.

2	Brown Family Responds To Grand Jury Decision: Burn This B*tch Down! [VIDEO] An Outrageous response to the decision the grand jury made, stepfather Louis Head makes outlandish remarks after briefly consoling the mother of the deceased 18 year old Michael Brown. He screams on to the protesters lets burn this b*tch down, lets burn this mother f*cker down. What transpired after was shocking and frightful, setting fire to a row of businesses, burning police cars and other vehicles in the area. The fires were so immense that firefighters could not reach them all, Monday night the family released a written statement that read, in part; We respectfully ask that you please keep your protests peaceful. Answering violence with violence is not the appropriate reaction. Lets not just make noise, lets make a difference. St. Louis Alderman Antonio French commented, I think he was expressing a sentiment that a lot of folks in that crowd felt and when he said those words, the mood did change and things got a little bit out of control, French said. There is such anger and emotion around this case. The family understands we all have a responsibility to protect the community, nobody is going to condone violence, Crump said. An attorney for the Brown family, Benjamin Crump tried to excuse the stepfathers contemptible reaction to the grand jurys decision, stating; God forbid your child was killed and then they get that just devastating announcement in the manner it was announced, and somebody put a camera in your face, he said. What would be your immediate reaction? Though Crump clearly states violence will not be condoned, Louis Head seems to disagree and has taken matters into his own hands. Lets hope these violent riots subside and can get back to what was a community without buildings on fire. 
2	The Racist Reason Jenny McCarthy Was Fired From The View Will Have You Outraged In a recent appearance on Good Day NY, former co-host of the view Jenny McCarthy revealed the shocking reason she believes that she was let go from the television show. According to McCarthy, she simply wasnt diverse enough for the cast. Although there is yet to be evidence to support her claims, the action does seem very plausible. The popular talk show also released Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who had a similar makeup to McCarthy: blonde, beautiful, Conservative and white. Luckily, after being released, Hasselbeck landed an even bigger gig at Fox News. What do you think? Is McCarthy telling the truth about why she was fired? 
2	BREAKING: Dan Rather Pays Big For Attacking Donald Trump In Scathing Rant, Proves That He Is... In the wake of the presidential election this year, we have seen a host of dramatic responses, but Dan Rathers latest Facebook post might just take the cake. Now is a time when none of us can afford to remain seated or silent, Rather wrote in the deranged message. He argued that Americans only have two ridiculous choices: to be on the side of neo-Nazis or to support democracy. This is not about tax policy, health care, or educationeven though all those and more are so important, Rather argued, targeting Trumps plan of action directly. This is about racism, bigotry, intimidation and the specter of corruption. Read Rathers unbelievable call to action below and tell us what you think. Has he lost his mind? Now is a time when none of us can afford to remain seated or silent. We must all stand up to be counted. History will demand to know which side were you on. This is not a question of politics or party or even policy. This is a question about the very fundamentals of our beautiful experiment in a pluralistic democracy ruled by law. When I see neo-Nazis raise their hands in terrifying solute, in public, in our nations capital, I shudder in horror. When I see that action mildly rebuked by a boilerplate statement from the President-elect whom these bigots have praised, the anger in me grows. And when I see some in a pliant press turn that mild statement into what they call a denunciation I cannot hold back any longer. Our Declaration of Independence bequeaths us our cherished foundational principle: 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. These truths may be self-evident but they are not self-replicating. Each generation has to renew these vows. This nation was founded as an opposite pole to the capriciousness of an authoritarian monarch. We set up institutions like a free press and an independent court system to protect our fragile rights. We have survived through bloody spasms of a Civil War and a Civil Rights Movement to extend more of these rights to more of our citizens. But the direction of our ship of state has not always been one of progress. We interned Japanese Americans, Red Baited during the McCarthy era, and more. I feel the rip tide of regression once again swelling under my feet. But I intend to remain standing. In normal times of a transition in our presidency between an incoming and outgoing administration of differing political parties, there is a certain amount of fretting on one side and gloating on the other. And the press usually takes a stance that the new administration at least deserves to have a chance to get started a honeymoon period. But these are not normal times. This is not about tax policy, health care, or education even though all those and more are so important. This is about racism, bigotry, intimidation and the specter of corruption. But as I stand I do not despair, because I believe the vast majority of Americans stand with me. To all those in Congress of both political parties, to all those in the press, to religious and civic leaders around the country. your voices must be heard. I hope that the President-elect can learn to rise above this and see the dangers that are brewing. If he does and speaks forcibly, and with action, we should be ready to welcome his voice. But of course I am deeply worried that his selections of advisors and cabinet posts suggests otherwise. To all of you I say, stay vigilant. The great Martin Luther King, Jr. knew that even as a minority, there was strength in numbers in fighting tyranny. Holding hands and marching forward, raising your voice above the din of complacency, can move mountains. And in this case, I believe there is a vast majority who wants to see this nation continue in tolerance and freedom. But it will require speaking. Engage in your civic government. Flood newsrooms or TV networks with your calls if you feel they are slipping into the normalization of extremism. Donate your time and money to causes that will fight to protect our liberties. We are a great nation. We have survived deep challenges in our past. We can and will do so again. But we cannot be afraid to speak and act to ensure the future we want for our children and grandchildren. 
3	DARPA Wants Portable Brain Recorders In Every Classroom in AmericaJulie Beal Having EEGs in every classroom in America, say DARPA, would allow teachers to devise lesson plans using the devices to help children learn about the biology of the brain and sensory systems, by using these brain-to-computer interfaces (BCIs): Students could record their own brain activity and download the data to their iPad. The Agency also claims the devices could be worn by average citizens, which would crowd-source huge amounts of EEG data that could be analysed to advance the understanding of neuroscience. Apart from a multitude of military and medical applications, say DARPA, Many commercial entities would have interest in a low-cost, portable, and easy-to-use EEG. Potential marketplace applications exist in neuro-marketing, gaming, politics, and many other fields. It also seems DARPA want students to use the EEG devices for more than just biology lessons, as the solicitation mentions the devices could be used to, modulate student feedback based on brain state, which would mean students being kitted out with these devices much or all of the time, as education morphs into isolated interactions with digital tutor or electronic learning systems. Students in the future are expected to have their own personal learning experiences, with avatar tutors, interactive games, and tailored courses. Computer analysis of individual student achievement is said to improve the learning process; such as in Arizona, where students were continually monitored in their learning, then their personal data, including Facebook activity, was tracked and analysed, and a computer algorithm decided which courses they should take, and how their learning should be structured. EEG data could be added to this profile to allow the computer to understand the student a whole lot better. A portable brain recording device can already be bought by Joe Public, for about $100 to $400 a piece. It is a BCI, consisting of a wireless headset which sends EEG data to a smartphone or computer, which is then analysed using an app. The companies currently marketing these devices includeNeurosky, Myndplay, and Emotiv. The devices can read, learn, and understand the neural patterns of the user, allowing them to control things on a computer, such as games, and even movies, by the power of their thought alone. The devices are also being used by people who are into the quantified self movement, because they can detect emotional and mental states, decision-making processes, intention, and some physical movements, such as blinking, and the data recorded by the device can be combined with data from other body sensors, so they can understand themselves better, and improve their health. The Neurosky device is being marketed as a way to help autistic children, and even as a safety feature. This is the most troubling claim saying the device can detect if youre about to fall asleep, and can interact with your smart car to stop you having a crash because anything that is said to make us safer can end up being deemed mandatory in the future (like wearing a seatbelt). The idea that all of us should be kitted out with sensors such as these, for our safety, is highly prevalent amongst those promoting self-enhancement. The EU, for instance, endorses the idea of us all having our own personal Guardian Angel (worn as a patch), for all of our lives because they make us safer. (This is part of the FuturICT Flagship Project, and their other projects are well worth checking out! Watch this video on Guardian Angels from 1:48 to 5:02 to see how all pervasive body-sensors are expected to become!) Even if there were no tyranny intended, the desires of the Producers are enough to turn us all into slaves. The Producers feed the consumers in a perpetual cycle thats all the world is now, just one Big Business. And the Producers need to understand the consumers, so they know what to produce, what to give them, and how to manipulate them into wanting what they have to offer. So advertisers are engaged in neuromarketing, and futurists are sure we will all have our own personalised consumer bubble to live in soon. Our consumption patterns, and our reactions to various products and services, could be continually monitored by brain- and body-sensors, and the advertising targeted at us will be tailored to fit our personal profile. Political parties are already aiming their campaigns at people whose profiles seem sympathetic to their ideals. Data itself is considered a new asset class, as it has high financial value. Personal EEG devices generally start out as military endeavours, or are planned as medical aids, but after that theres money to be made by marketing them to the whole wide world, with a wealth of a extra benefits to be had, especially the acquisition of highly actionable data, such as EEG recordings. Such data will become even more significant if the United Nations manages to implement natural capital accounting, as this involves measuring Global Happiness, which is best done by analysing EEG records. Mission creep is the scourge of the age. Neurosky say their main business is supplying the chips needed to make brain-to-computer interfaces possible, and the company is looking to increase its business with other companies wanting to incorporate BCI capabilities into their products. Neuroskys future will include augmenting the EEG device with sensors that measure, galvanic skin response (GSR), muscle electromyography (EMG), heartbeat electrocardiography (ECG or EKG), retinal electrooculography (EOG), blood oximetry and other biosensor areas. All of these physiological variables are also used as biometric identifiers, and as a way to profile personality. Neurosky assert their product is unidirectional, i.e. it sends signals to the computer/app, but cannot receive signals back. However, for many years, neuroscience has been assessing the efficacy of stimulating the brain, such as with pulses of microwave energy, so as to influence mood, intelligence, and even movement. This research goes back to Delgado, who used surgically implanted electrodes, but nothing so crude is needed now. A wireless computer-to-brain interface (CBI) has now been developed, which enables signals to be targeted at an individuals brain, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation. Results have even been achieved with the development of a brain-to-brain interface (BBI) through the computer interface, the experimenter was able to move the tail of a rat by mind alone. With all this in mind, just how far will DARPA get with their solicitation? Four small businesses have been granted nearly$100,000 each to develop the portable brain recording device and app but will any of them manage to make one without requiring a proprietary interface or dongle, for as little as $30? Lets hope not. This article first appeared at Get Mind Smart Julie Beal is a UK-based independent researcher who has been studying the globalist agenda for more than 20 years.

2	BREAKING: Wisconsin Government REFUSES To Back Down Against BLM Protesters This week, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke requested mobilization of the National Guard to help put an end to Black Lives Matter protests. Now, it appears that Gov. Scott Walker has delivered. Clarkes call to action came as violence among protesters escalated. Businesses were being burnt to the ground, police cars were being lit on fire, and looting was prevalent. One officer was even struck in the head with a brick in an act of vandalism. USA Today reports Gov. Scott Walker activated the National Guard on Sunday to assist the Milwaukee Police Department. Sheriff Clarke reached out after conferring with Mayor Tom Barett and Major Gen. Donald Dunbar. The development came as a sense of calm and order returned to the neighborhood. By mid-morning on Sunday the path of destruction was replaced by community members attempting to clean up trash and rebuild what was destroyed the night before. 
1	LOS ANGELESObservers speculate that former Saved By The Bell star Mark-Paul Gosselaar ('Zack') wrote his own Internet Movie Database entry. 'The large amount of trivia available on Gosselaar is telling,' celebrity-syntax analyst Will Purdy said. 'But the comprehensive details of his Dutch heritage, the meticulous account of his daily routine on the Saved By The Bell set, and the multiple pages dedicated to his struggle with a Net-surfing addiction leave little doubt.' Purdy noted that further evidence can be found on Gosselaar's 17-page Wikipedia entry. 
3	White House Raises Petition Threshold from 25K to 100K Signaturesselfnews Post Apparently, too many complaints (petitions) are reaching the previous threshold too quickly for them to respond adequately. The White House writes: As weve seen overall use skyrocket, more petitions are crossing the threshold and doing so much more quickly. In the first 10 months of 2012, it took an average of 18 days for a new petition to cross the 25,000-signature threshold. In the last two months of the year, that average time was cut in half to just 9 days, and most petitions that crossed the threshold collected 25,000 signatures within five days of their creation. More than 60 percent of the petitions to cross threshold in all of 2012 did so in the last two months of the year. Turns out that good problem is only getting better, so were making another adjustment to ensure were able to continue to give the most popular ideas the time they deserve. The White House included a nifty infographic to illustrate the announcement: linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	Officials Reveal The Truth About Cecil The Lion, Heres What The Animal Rights Group Dont Want You To Know For the past week, the liberal media has told the story of Cecil the Lion, the popular lion in Zimbabwe who was shot and killed by Minnesota dentist Dr. Walter Palmer, a big game hunter. Palmer reportedly shot Cecil earlier this month, but the news just broke this week. Ever since, hes be bombarded with death threats, and has even been forced to close his dental practice. What lion? Information Minister Prisca Mupfumira replied to reporters who asked him about the killing. His response was reflective of the underlying story here: Americans are making a bigger deal about the death than the natives of Zimbabwe. Are you saying that all this noise is about a dead lion? he continued. Lions are killed all the time in this country, added another native. What is so special about this one? The truth is, big game hunting is a big part of the economy in the African nation. Palmer reportedly paid $50,000 to hunt the lion. What do you think of the death of Cecil? Is the media taking this overboard? 
2	AntiRobert DeNiro made headlines this election season for going into an expletive rant about Donald Trump. At one point, he even threatened to leave the United States if Trump became president. Now, the Mayor of Italy is offering him asylum if he moves forward with his plans. This past Sunday, the Mayor of Ferazzano, in the Italian region of Molise, that he would welcome the actor with open arms if he really wanted to leave the U.S. If, after the disappointment of Trumps election, he wants to take refuge here, we would be honored to welcome him, he commented. To welcome someone like DeNiro would be an amazing promotion for us on the international stage. This is the right place in which to forget the electoral defeat (of Hillary Clinton) and avoid having to beat up Trump. DeNiros biological grandparents are from Italy, making it the perfect place to go if he decides to stay true to his word. In a recent interview, DeNiro complained that now that Trump is president, he can no long punch him in the face. But DeNiro didnt stop there. Hes an idiot. Hes an embarrassment to this country. It makes me so angry that this country has gotten to this point that this fool, this bozo, has wound up where he has. He talks how he wants to punch people in the face? Well, Id like to punch him in the face. This is somebody that we want for president? I dont think so. What I care about is the direction of this country, and what Im very, very worried about is that it might go in the wrong direction with someone like Donald Trump. 
1	While reading in a wet, tattered copy of the New York Post about musician Lou Reeds death as she waited in line for methadone outside the Bellevue Offsite Clinic in New Yorks East Village this morning, homeless transvestite heroin addict Cookie Williams confirmed to reporters that today was going to be an especially rough day for her. Even by the standard of how a day usually goes for me, I think today is now officially shaping up to be a doozy, said Williams, 38, adding that hearing the news of the rock legend and Velvet Underground founders death at age 71 was pretty much the last thing [she] needed after waking up to infected blister pains this morning. Granted, if you take away Lou Reeds death, were still looking at a real motherfucker of a day for me, no question. But this sure as hell aint helping. Williams later told reporters that, given the news, she was just going to take it easy today and nod off in Tompkins Square Park for 11 hours straight. 
1	Explaining that it is still a relatively young nation and not ready for a permanent trade partner, the U.S. announced Monday that it plans to slow down its relationship with Uruguay. 'Don't get me wrong, Uruguay is great,' President Bush said. 'It's just that things have been moving along a little too quickly ever since we signed that bilateral tariff-reduction pact in March. They were always calling up about a treaty or an aid package and, well, it just got to be a little too much.' Bush said the U.S. would love to remain 'just allies' with Uruguay while pursuing relations with other nations. 
3	Russia Is Dominated By Global Banks, TooBrandon Smith Unfortunately, even the most vigilant of Americans can sometimes be led astray by a clever ruse, and I believe this is taking place today in the Liberty Movements perception of the rising tensions between Russia and the West. In my article Ukraine Crisis: Just Another Globalist-Engineered Powder Keg, I outlined the history of false paradigms and engineered conflicts between numerous nations, including how these conflicts are exploited by global money interests to consolidate and centralize social and political power. The birth of communist Russia, in particular, was directly funded by Western banks and supported with arms and military aid from the U.S. government itself. These sorts of startling facts are not taught in schools and universities exactly because the continued dominance of the money elite relies on continued misrepresentations of legitimate history. Many in the Liberty Movement have studied and are well aware of the central banking cabal and its stranglehold on the U.S. and Europe. But strangely, some people refuse to acknowledge the substantial possibility that global bankers are also in control of Russia and are playing both sides of the burgeoning economic war. Russia is just as much a tool of the global elite today as it was after the Bolshevik Revolution, and Vladimir Putin is just as much a socialist puppet as Barack Obama. Lets start from the beginning of the rebirth of Russia as a regional federation in the 1990s after the fall of the Warsaw Pact. Mikhail Gorbachev, the leader largely credited with the ultimate dismantling of the Soviet Union and the rise of the new Russia, has long been a proponent of the New World Order (his words) and centralized global government. In an address entitled Perspectives On Global Change to the students of Lafayette College in Easton, Penn., Gorbachev argued that such a solution was necessary to safeguard freedom. He continued: When asked in 1995 by San Francisco Weekly what Gorbachev meant by the phrase New World Order, Jim Garrison, the executive director of the Gorbachev Foundation stated, bluntly that Gorbachev wanted nothing less than global government. Take note that it has now been almost 20 years since Garrisons assertion and the motions towards a global currency are picking up great speed. Gorbachev saw global government being achieved through international organizations like the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. But, is this vision of the New World Order limited only to Gorbachev and his inner circle? At the Gorbachev-led State of the World Forum in 1995, Council On Foreign Relations member Zbigniew Brzezinski had this to say: In Zbigniew K. Brzezinskis book Between Two Ages: Americas Role In The Technetronic Era, he elaborates on the ideology behind what brand of government the New World Order would be: Brzezinski seems to be in total agreement with Gorbachev, but why should anyone care what Brzezinski thinks about the future of American sovereignty? Perhaps its because he is a close and influential foreign policy adviser to Obama. So we have now established that political interests on both sides since the 1990s have called for a New World Order and global government taking a decidedly socialist or Marxist form. Some people might applaud this kind of future, or they might despise it; but the fact remains that this plan is indeed being openly promoted and implemented by government officials and elitists in the East and the West. It is undeniable. From its very inception, the new Russia was designed to become a catalyst for global governance, but global governance by whom? As they say, always follow the money. Russia is more beholden to international bankers than perhaps any nation on the planet. After the collapse of the Russian economy and the dissolution of the old Soviet Union, the country was in dire straits. From 1992 to 1996, the IMF intervened in the Russian economy, offering more than $22 billion in aid (officially). This first loan package was presented as a failure when Russia defaulted on its debts, and loans from the IMF restarted through the late 90s until this very day. Many people are aware of the IMF involvement in Russia, but few know about the scandal surrounding where those IMF funds specifically went. In 1999, information was made public on the diversion of IMF cash into the coffers of Russian corporate elites, politicians, and even mobsters. This money was supposed to go toward the rebuilding of Russian infrastructure and economy. Instead, the aristocracy and criminal underworld were receiving a large cut of the funds. The money was diverted and laundered through the Bank of New York, an institution founded in 1784 by none other than internationalist agent and central bank promoter Alexander Hamilton. The bank changed ownership through merger in 2007 and is now called The Bank Of New York Mellon. The IMFs first response to the scandal was to divert blame, stating that it had no control over the cash once it was in the hands of the Central Bank of Russia (CBR). After continued revelations on funds being misused or disappearing altogether, the IMF commissioned PricewaterhouseCoopers to audit the CBR. The results of that audit have never been made public. However, in 1999 the Russian government admitted that it had hidden more than $50 billion offshore in a subsidiary bank in the Channel Islands. Part of this money came from IMF bailouts. The former chairman of the CBR, Sergey Dubinin, insisted that the IMF was fully aware of who the funds were going to. Numerous officials from the chief state auditor to the minister of internal security to the prosecutor general of Russia had come forward with information that corroborated evidence that IMF money was being distributed to the wrong people. The chairman of the Duma Committee on Security stated that some of the IMF loans never made it to Russia. Rather, the money was pumped into the secret foreign accounts of Russias highest officials. Despite all of the admissions and evidence, IMF auditors refused to cite any corruption or malfeasance during their investigations. One would think that they would do everything in their power to find out where their funds went and why. The reason for the cover-up is obvious: The IMF knew exactly who the money was going to. The first bailouts of Russia were designed to buy the cooperation of the Russian political and corporate elite and ensure that the future direction of the nation would follow the globalist plan. Fast-forward to the present. Putin continues the subversive relationship between Russia and the IMF. In 2009, Putin called for the creation of a super reserve currency under the control of the IMF and using the IMFs Special Drawing Rights basket as a foundation. Why would Putin, a supposedly anti-globalist nationalist leader, want the IMF, a supposedly U.S.-controlled institution, to be the global purveyor and overlord of the world economy? Its because the IMF is not a U.S.-controlled institution; it is a banker-controlled institution. And Putin is a globalist, not a nationalist. The recent break of Crimea from Ukraine and secession to Russia was partly instigated by the vast concessions required by the IMF if loans to Ukraine were to move forward. One of these concessions included the handing over of Ukrainian gas pipelines to Americas Chevron. Crimean leaders accused Kiev politicians of selling out Ukraine to the global bankers. However, it was actually Russias finance minister and Putin who first pushed for the IMF bailout of Ukraine. It was, in fact, Putin who wanted Ukraine to sell out to Western financiers. Russias central bank is also a member of the Bank of International Settlements, the good-old-boys club of the international banking world. The BIS was founded in 1930 and served as the focal point of globalization until after World War II, when evidence arose that the organization had helped the Nazis by funding the German war machine, laundering money for Gestapo officials and hiding funds looted from Europe by the Third Reich. Due to the scandal, the BIS took a back seat to the IMF and World Bank; but it still exists today. Carroll Quigley, Council on Foreign Relations member, elitist insider and mentor to Bill Clinton, had this to say about the BIS in his book Tragedy And Hope: Putin has been elevated to heroic status in much of the mainstream media over the years. TIME magazine, a long-running globalist publication, recently published a front-page article with this tagline: Americas weak and waffling. Russias rich and resurgent and its leader doesnt care what anybody thinks of him. This cover was used by TIME in every country in which it is distributed, except the United States. The Times of Britain named Putin Man Of The Year in 2013. In Liberty Movement circles, Putin worship has been growing to disturbing levels. I would say at least half of our movement truly believes Putin and Russia to be a guiding light in the fight against globalization and the New World Order. Unfortunately, many people look for heroes to save them when they should be looking to themselves. Putins nomination for a Nobel Peace Prize for his intervention in the Syrian crisis is celebrated by many freedom fighters here in America, when, in reality, the Obama Administrations failure to achieve a war footing in the region had nothing to do with the actions of Russia. Remember, Russia and the U.S. are nothing but false champions dueling in a fake gladiator match paid for by the IMF. The war against Syria was thwarted because the elites were unable to garner enough public support from the American people to make the action viable. Every engineered war needs a gullible percentage of the population to give it momentum. Why didnt they get their following from the public? It was because of the tireless efforts of the alternative media. It was the Liberty Movement that exposed the lies behind the Syrian insurgency; the consulate attack in Benghazi, Libya; the CIAs involvement with al-Qaida in Damascus, etc. It is the Liberty Movement that deserves the credit for disrupting the globalist plan to use Syria as a trigger event for a false confrontation between the U.S. and Russia. Yet many are cheering the elitist puppet Putin while he takes credit for our accomplishments. The most frightening aspect of the false paradigm between East and West is the potential it creates for the co-option of liberty proponents here in America. If we allow ourselves to be suckered into cheerleading for Russia, or any controlled government for that matter, then we have lost. We will be swallowed up in the tides of war, while supporting false prophets and artificial protagonists. Our mission, the mission for a truly free and sovereign America, will be lost in the confusion and chaos of the global chess game. It is time to accept that the fate of this country and perhaps the future of human freedom rest solely on the shoulders of the resistance here at home. There is no nation out there in the ether of central banking that is going to help us. The sooner we come to terms with the reality that we are on our own, the stronger we will be when the fight begins.

2	What Allen West Wrote About The Live TV Shooting Is Going Viral, Demolishes Liberals Within hours of the Allison Parker and Adam Ward shooting, the liberal media was already using it as a tool to push gun control. Well, conservative Allen West was having none of it. Read the post he put on his Facebook page below: May God bless the families and welcome the souls of Allison Parker and Adam Ward. Its always best to just sit back and assess the situation and in this case, its telling what you dont hear. There is no indignation and statements emanating from President Obama, as with Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, or Charleston SCalbeit his spokesperson alluded to gun violence. Sadly, Obama, Earnest, and Clinton say nothing about gun violence in Chicago or Baltimore. And the shooter self-identified as a gay black man. So shall we demand that the gay rainbow flag not be displayed a la the mania over the Confederate flag? Or is this a reflection on the entire gay and black community a la the condemnation or our law enforcement officers? You see, the difference between liberal progressives and conservatives is that the former seeks out collective punishment and blame. Conservatives realize that the blame lies with the individual, no one else, and certainly not an inanimate object. And, all lives matter. What do you think of Wests comments? 
2	STALK THEM, KILL THEM Farrakhan Says, Calling For 10,000 Volunteers To KILL WHITES Louis Farrakhan, a leader from the Nation of Islam, recently met with the local leaders of the upcoming Million Man March at the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Washington D.C. At first, Farrakhan maintained that it was time to pull down the American flag. That quickly escalated, however, when he started discussing that it was the time to kill whites. Death is sweeter than watching us slaughter each other to the joy of a 400 year old enemy, he addressed the crowd. Death is sweet. The Quran teaches persecution is worse than slaughter10,000 in the midst of the million 10,000 fearless men who say death is sweeter than continued life under tyranny. Farrakhan then quoted the Quran, which calls for retaliation when slaves are oppressed. So if the federal government will not intercede in our affairs, then we must rise up and kill those who kill us, his chilling call for action sounded. Stalk them and kill them and let them feel the pain of death that we are feeling. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Should the government be taking this threat seriously? 
3	Border Control Measures Using License Plate Tracking Halted by Activists in Utah (Updated)Joe Wright Despite protections afforded under the U.S. Constitution, the federal DEA has been trying to initiate a blanket sweep of all license plates traveling along Interstates 15 and 70 in Utah, with the intent to store the information in a centralized database. Furthermore, as noted by the ACLU which attended a recent hearing about the rollout, this federal agency is employing a scanning technology called ALPR to collect data from unspecified other sources and sharing it with over ten thousand law enforcement agencies around the nation. The deployment of any personal data collection technology by a federal agency carries with it additional responsibilities under the Privacy Act of 1974. For now, it appears that the DEA will be adhering to those guidelines after local resistance to the new initiative. Or, are they merely planning an end-run once they think people have forgotten about the issue? The Privacy Act of 1974 requires any federal agency engaged in the collection of personal data to disclose to the American people exactly what will be collected, how it will be stored, and whether that information will be shared. It makes this quite clear under conditions of disclosure: No agency shall disclose any record which is contained in a system of records by any means of communication to any person, or to another agency, except pursuant to a written request by, or with the prior written consent of, the individual to whom the record pertains. The DEA desires to sidestep the requirements of the Privacy Act altogether by arguing that no personal data is being collected, only the tag of the vehicle. This argument is clearly grasping at straws, as it implies that the car must have registered itself, as well as having the capability to drive itself. A license plate contains a vast amount of personal information about who exactly is responsible for that vehicle, regardless of who is driving it at the time. Moreover, people have a right to privacy under the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, as well as additional rights pertaining to data collection afforded by the Privacy Act. Regardless, the ACLU has noted that: we were not able to find a Privacy Act notice anywhere in the Federal Register in which the DEA describes any collection of license plate data. (The tworecent DEA Privacy Act notices we found do not mention the practice.) [source] The truth of the matter is that the DEA has been working closely with the Department of Homeland Security for some time, and has implemented license plate readers at border checkpoints and key corridors in California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas. However, in addition to reading license plates, the ACLU refers to testimony where Justice Dept. officials point to the ability to take photos of drivers and compare all data collected with various databases in order to ascertain true identity. Until now, this has been justified by what the ACLU has labeled the Constitution-Free Zone; a 100-mile swath that encircles the country and includes 2/3 of the U.S. population. State resistance to this type of federal intrusion has been extremely limited. However, in the case of this section of highway through Utah along I-15 (clearly inland), the Beaver CountySheriffseems to be listening to the public outcry over privacy violations and has decided to halt the plan immediately, while the Washington Country Sheriff has requested additional information. (Source) This is certainly positive news, as it demonstrates the power of activism and the ability to get results at the local level. However, we need to be ever vigilant against duplicitous federal agencies. As we have seen with the Secure Communities biometrics program, whatbegan as a border control operation is now present in nearly 30 states, while ICE outright lied about the scope and intent of the program. Unmanned drones began by patrolling the borders of Mexico and Canada and now are embraced by Congress to fly throughout America under FAA control. We were told first that this would never happen in America, then on a limited scale, but we now learn that there are110 potential drone bases inside the United States. But the drones would not be weaponized we were told, yet that, too, is now being discussed openly, while warrantless surveillance and cooperation with local law enforcement continues to spread. DNA collection has been in use by the DEA and Federal Marshals along the border, but is now being proposed for anyone fingerprinted anywhere, including children. This is the very nature of incrementalism, and why it is important to immediately resist any discussion that offers the potential for the federal government to expand as they see fit. It is important to note that with all of these technologies, their use has rapidly expanded from apprehending dangerous criminals to simply anyone and everyone included in the ever-widening dragnet of total surveillance. Under the guise of public safety i.e. catching criminals, finding missing children, deporting illegal aliens, combating gun and drug trafficking federal authorities continue to get their way and invade the lives of everydayAmericansby using fear to trump the wider (and more proven) danger of an out-of-control federal government that continues to misapply the technology and direct it toward average, innocent Americans. It is the federal government itself where these anti-crime technologies should be directed, as every new revelation about their involvement in drug and weapons trafficking, child kidnapping, and worse, proves that on average they are infested with many more dangerous criminals than the public they target. Local sheriffs are receiving a heavy dose of federal propaganda, as well as some nice funding and new tech, which often results in comments like the following from Beaver Country Sheriff, Cameron Noel: It is to capture criminals only, it doesnt violate any normal citizens rights. It is just a shame the citizens lose out. All we wanted it for was to pick up hardened criminals off the freeway. Those of us who have been studying, cataloging and observing the incremental nature of federal control beg to differ. And we will continue pressing our officials to uphold what we know to be our absolute right to freedom. When we do this with conviction, we force even the brainwashed such as the Beaver County Sheriff to utter the following frustratedconcession: Read other articles by Joe Wright HERE You can support this information by voting on Reddit HERE. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	European Commission Single Supervisory MechanismJames Hall, Contributor The European Commission recently announces and lays ground for banking union. A new proposal would see the European Central Bank (ECB) gaining new powers to monitor the performance of the 6 000 or so banks in the eurozone. The arrangement would be known as the single supervisory mechanism. The ECB would take over tasks such as authorizing banks and other credit institutions, ensuring they have enough (liquid) capital to continue operating even when sustaining losses and monitoring the activities of financial conglomerates. If a bank breaches or is at risk of breaching capital requirements, the ECB would be able to ask the bank to take corrective action. National supervisors would meanwhile continue to carry out day-to-day checks. A single rulebook on capital requirements, standardized deposit protection schemes and new recovery and resolution provisions all proposed earlier in the year would complete the banking union. It is also understood the ECB will have the power to wind up banks; remove bank licenses; and force recapitalization programs when it think its necessary, according to the documents. The ECB will also be empowered to enter into administrative arrangements with regulators outside the eurozone or act and negotiate on behalf of all members in talks on global financial regulation. The City of London has never been a keen supporter of European governance. Britain opposes ECB as head of Banking Union illustrates push back. Britain is pushing for changes to a proposed euro zone banking union to dilute the power of the European Central Bank, EU officials said, potentially hampering efforts to build the infrastructure urgently needed to underpin the euro. Britain intends to propose a system that would give countries outside the banking union the possibility of blocking those within the project from clubbing together to shape EU-wide regulations, said EU officials, speaking on condition of anonymity. The concern is that the Bank of England can find itself outvoted by the ECB on aspects of rule making, said one official. Britain will not join the banking union. Another report in, Britain pushing to dilute powers of ECB in banking union, reveals the concerns about a diminished influence of the British financial houses. Britains finance minister, George Osborne, fears the ECB will use its authority to impose EU-wide regulation that would favor countries with the euro and put Londons financial centre, using sterling, at a disadvantage. It seems unlikely that the ECB would ride roughshod over the wishes of the Bank of England, but that is what the British Treasury is worried about, said the first official. They want safeguards to make sure that doesnt happen. Britain and all other members of the European Union must give the green light to the banking union before it can go ahead, an approval that could be delayed or withheld if Londons concerns are not addressed. Empowering the European Central Bank regulatory authority over every country as part of the broad EU coalition requires surrender of even more national sovereignty. Since the initial pronouncement for a single supervisory mechanism, acceptance for a new European Central Bank Headquarters in Frankfurt Germany has shown caution. In the article, Germanys Merkel, Swedens Reinfeldt: Banking Union Must Be Done Right, even Angela Merkel told reporters, Quality is more important than speed. Mr. Reinfeldt said Sweden wasnt fundamentally opposed to banking union, but added: We dont think suggestions on the table now are ready. It would be better to get it right than rush it through. He also said that although Sweden isnt in the euro zone, Sweden must have influence over decisions taken that could have an impact on his countrys banks. If we take part, we want to have influence. And we do not find in the current proposal that we have that, Mr. Reinfeldt said. Germany having lost two military world wars, wants to win the financial conflict for dominance of Europe. However, is the relative prosperity of the German economy healthy enough to carry the burden of the bankrupt sister nations on the continent? While the prospects of a single supervisory mechanism are profoundly disturbing, the forecast of globalized integration into a one-world economy is even worse. At stake is a total elimination of the national identity and home rule. Essentially the will of the people demonstrated by numerous referendums, have sought to limit the centralization overreach of the European Commission. Now that the power grab of the European Central Bank is in motion, the communal interests of Europeans needs to reflect disgust for the administrative technocrats that seek to impose their will across national borders. It seems the lessons of centuries are so soon forgotten, when the illusory and outlandish nightmare, that a centralized banking cartel is the best form for political government. On one level, its almost funny to call offering dollars at a cheaper rate to foreign banks coordinated action. Its only coordinated in the sense that the Federal Reserve is printing the dollars and the European Central Bank and other central banks put the greenbacks in the virtual vaults of mangled commercial banks that are drowning in European debt. See story on Fed action. The central banks are the problem, not the solution; and the only way to regain economic prosperity and political independence is to repudiate the illicit debt extortion.

3	TISA: Yet Another Leaked Treaty Youve Never Heard Of Makes Secret Rules for the InternetBy Jeremy Malcolm Although it is the least well-known of those agreements, it is the broadest in terms of membership. As far as we know, it presently includes twenty countries plus Europe (but notably excluding the major emerging world economies of the BRICS bloc), who, with disdainful levity, have adopted the mantle the Really Good Friends of Services. Like its sister agreements, TISA will enact global rules that impact the Internet, bypassing the transparency and accountability of national parliaments. The only difference is that its focus is on services, not goods. In our previous analysis, we focused our attention on two points from the leaked text. The first was a provision that would prohibit democratically-elected parliaments from enacting limits on the free flow of information to protect the privacy of their citizenslimits that, we argued, should be debated publicly, not behind closed doors. The second was text on net neutrality, that would lock in a particular set of global rules on net neutrality, including an open-ended exception for reasonable network management that could become a loophole for exploitation. Those provisions remain in the new leaked draft. But the latest leak has revealed more. The agreement would also prohibit countries from enacting free and open source software mandates. Although software used for critical infrastructure is already carved out from this prohibition (and so is software that is not mass market software, whatever that means), there are other circumstances in which a country might legitimately require suppliers to disclose their source code. For example, one step that might be considered to improve the dire state of security of consumer routers might be to require that they be supplied with source code, so that their security could be more broadly reviewed, and third parties could contribute patches for critical vulnerabilities. Although that may sound radical, this is already required for many routers because they are based on software covered by the GNU General Public License. TISA would prohibit any such national initiative. As in the TPP, and expanding on the earlier leaked draft, TISA also includes a prohibition on laws that require service providers to host data locally, which some countries have used to protect sensitive personal information, such as health data, from being snooped upon on foreign soil. There are arguments for and against such laws, and it is inappropriate that a secretive international agreement such as TISA should preempt these important debates. The agreement would also require countries to introduce anti-spam laws. Although spam is bad, that doesnt necessarily make anti-spam laws good. In practice such laws have generally been ineffective at best, and ripe for abuse at worst. As such, we believe that it would be a legitimate choice for a country to decide not to tackle this blight through legislationa choice that TISA would remove from them. These examples only scratch the surface of TISA, yet they are enough to demonstrate a common problem that also affects the TPP and TTIPthat they are locking in a very specific rules for the Internet that the member countries may regret later. Locking in national laws through international law is something to be done sparingly. If it is done at all, then it should be through a transparent process that allows for users to have a voicea process at least as open as that by which WIPO concluded the Marrakesh Treaty for the Blind. What we have here is the very antithesis of that. The closed-door TISA negotiations are designed to set some very technologically-specific rules in stonerules that will bind signatory countries for decades to come. Users and other stakeholders are completely excised from this process, and even our democratically elected representatives are being kept in the dark. Activism around TISA is still very diffuse and limited, but theres one campaign that you can help us fight now, and its the same action that were taking to battle the TPPits opposing the Fast Track bill. The U.S. administration is relying on Fast Track not only to streamline its accession to the TPP, but its future ratification of TISA as well. Even if youre on the fence about the TPP, TISA is a further reason for you to call on your representative to oppose Fast Track today. Take Action Here.

3	Smart Cities are the Next Phase in the 21st Century Surveillance GridBy Steven MacMillan Most readers are now familiar with the predatory surveillance practices of agencies such as the NSA and GCHQ, which high-level NSA whistleblower William Binney describes as totalitarian in nature, adding that the goal of the NSA is to set up the way and means to control the population. Yet many people may not be aware of the next phase in the 21st century surveillance grid; the smarter city. Promoted by some as a low-cost and efficient way of managing the workings of a city, others see the surveillance implications of such initiatives as chilling to say the least. Smart cities are broadly defined as digitally connected urban areas filled with ubiquitous sensors, monitors and meters, which collect data on every aspect of the city from energy usage to transport patterns. This data is then analysed and used by city planners to improve decision making. Today, more than half the worlds population lives in urban areas a trend that is set to accelerate into the future meaning the smart city concept is going to affect the lives of billions of people around the world. India is at the forefront of this push as it plans to build 100 smart cities in the coming years, with Singapore set to become the worlds first smart nation. Smart cities are not just confined to Asia, however, as Glasgow (where Im writing from), Rio de Janeiro, New Orleans and Cape Town are just a handful of cities involved in IBMs smarter cities challenge. Privacy in a Smart City The global move towards a smarter planet is a worrying prospect for many who are concerned with the growing erosion of privacy in the modern world. Can privacy exist in a smart city where every corner and crevice of the urban environment is fitted with digital sensors collecting data on every movement of the city 24 hours a day? Furthermore, many of the supporters and proponents of smart initiatives are multinational corporations and notorious foundations, including IBM, Siemens, Cisco and the Rockefeller Foundation. The notion of corporate giants managing a smarter planet becomes even more troubling when you consider the history of companies such as IBM, which played a pivotal role in the holocaust and worked closely with Nazi Germany. Given IBMs dark history, should we trust it with the power to regulate and manage numerous cities around the world? In an article for AlterNet titled: The Terrifying Smart City of the Future, Allegra Kirkland details some of the more disturbing aspects of a smarter planet: The surveillance implications of these sorts of mass data-generating civic projects are unnerving, to say the least. Urban designer and author Adam Greenfield wrote on his blog Speedbird that this centralized governing model is disturbingly consonant with the exercise of authoritarianism. To further complicate matters, the vast majority of smart-city technology is designed by IT-systems giants like IBM and Siemens. In places like Songdo, which was the brainchild of Cisco Systems, corporate entities become responsible for designing and maintaining the basic functions of urban life. Private corporations are the ones measuring and controlling these mountains of data, and that they dont have the same accountability to the public that government does. The Age of Big Data and Predictive Policing The amount of data generated in recent years has skyrocketed, with IBM CEO Ginni Rometty noting in a 2013 speech that 90% of all the data ever known to man has been created in the last two years. With this trend only set to continue into the future, the race is now on to develop systems to accurately predict the behaviour of entire populations through scanning copious volumes of data for behavioural patterns. In Australia, the federal crime commission is now using big data systems to analyse patterns of behaviour in a quest to predict criminal activities before they occur. It seems the world is moving closer to the themes in the 1950s science fiction story by Philip K. Dick and the later film adaptation of the work, The Minority Report. It is not just Australia, however, that is engaged in such activities, as the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has a division called the Real-Time Analysis and Critical Response Division (RACR). The RACR uses cutting-edge algorithmic systems and analytics in an attempt to predict future crime. British police in Kent have also been using a precrime software program called Predpol for two years, which analyses crimes based on date, place and category of offence, in order to assist police in making decisions on patrol routes. The ethical and moral questions of the move towards predictive policing are obvious, leading many to fear a potential tyranny of the algorithm in the future. With big data being used in the field of law enforcement to surveil and attempt to predict criminal behaviour, you can be assured that intelligence agencies and corporations will be using big data in the futuristic smart city to monitor and predict the behaviour of the citys population. Crystal Ball Software Back in 2010, we got a glimpse into the intentions of the CIA and Google when they funded a start-up company called Recorded Future, an organisation that claimed to have technology that could predict the future through collecting data from the internet. Recorded Future attempts to scan the entire web looking for patterns and analyzing information on a global scale; with the companies CEO Christopher Ahlberg revealing that the software scans 8 billion data points, [from] 600, 000 sources each week. As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to expand in size and scope producing even more data, demand for companies such as Recorded Future by intelligence agencies and corporations will continue to increase. Techopedia defines the IoT as a computing concept that describes a future where everyday physical objects will be connected to the Internet and be able to identify themselves to other devices. The number of devices connected to the internet has exploded in recent years, a trend that Cisco details in a 2011 report: In 2003, there were approximately 6.3 billion people living on the planet and 500 million devices connected to the Internet Explosive growth of smartphones and tablet PCs brought the number of devices connected to the Internet to 12.5 billion in 2010 Cisco IBSG predicts there will be 25 billion devices connected to the Internet by 2015 and 50 billion by 2020. Many have voiced privacy concerns over the idea of the internet being embedded in everything considering the fact that government agencies and corporate entities have been illegally collecting vast swaths of personnel information from the internet for years. As Michael Snyder writes in a recent article, could an IoT create a dystopian nightmare where everyone and everything will be constantly monitored and tracked by the government? We are truly entering a Brave New World, where science fiction is becoming reality. But what input will the people of the world have in the creation of this Brave New World, and what role will representative government play?

2	Liberals Are Attacking Donald Trump, So He Responds With THIS... EPIC Throughout his presidential campaign, Donald Trump has unapologetically spoken his mind. His straightforward nature has earned him both supporters and enemiesand its not quite sure where head of Fox News Roger Ailes falls on that list. Recently, Ailes demanded an apology from Trump after he went after Megyn Kelly. Donald Trump rarely apologizes, although in this case, he should, Ailes said, referring to a Twitter rant that he called unacceptable and disturbing. I do not think Megyn Kelly is a quality journalist, Trump responded. I think her questioning of me, despite all of the polls saying I won the debate, was very unfair. Hopefully in the future I will be proven wrong and she will be able to elevate her standards to a level of professionalism that a network such as Fox deserves. Trumps comments come amid backlash from his statement that Megyn had blood coming out of herwherever during the debate. This is just one of many times that Trump has stood firmly behind his beliefs despite widespread criticism. People say, He wont apologize for anything, Trump said, addressing comments. Well, I was right on illegal immigration. McCain blew it because hes done a poor job of taking care of the veterans. And then the third element so far, you had Megyn Kelly, and I think youve seen what happened with that. I feel quite confident in my position. At the same time, I believe in apologizing. But to apologize for me is very difficult. I definitely would apologize if I were wrong on something. What do you think? Do you support Trump? 
2	BREAKING: Clintons Mistress Comes Forward Says THIS About HillaryYou Will Be Shocked Gennifer Flowers first made headlines during Bill Clintons 1992 Presidential campaign when she confessed that she had a 12 year affair with him. Now, shes back again and speaking out with details about the Clintons marriage. What they have is very strong, Flowers told reporters. It obviously worked for them, but Ive never considered theirs a traditional marriage. Reporters then asked Gennifer about rumors of the affair between Hillary and her female aide Huma Abedin, wife of Anthony Wiener. I dont know Huma or the Weiners, Gennifer confessed. I just know what Bill told me and that was that he was aware that Hillary was bisexual and he didnt care. He should know. He said Hillary had eaten more p***y than he had. Gennifer also told reporters that she believes that Hillary only stuck around after Bills affairs because she saw presidency in the future. What do you think? Do we need to keep Hillary out of the White House? 
3	Puerto Rico Deals Horrendous Blow to Wall Street Suspends All Payments On Public DebtBy Matt Agorist Since 2000, Wall Street has conned the Puerto Rican government into a massive black hole of debt. After Puerto Rico handed them control of their federal bond sales, Wall Street executives tacked on hundreds of millions in fees for their services, greasing the skids for the islands financial dismay. Along with suspending debt payments, the legislation suspended payment on all general obligation bonds which happen to be guaranteed by the islands constitution. As Bloomberg previously reported: Unlike the bonds of most states and municipalities, Puerto Ricos are exempt from local, state and federal taxes everywhere in the U.S. As a result, they are held by about half of open-end muni funds. The competitive advantage made it easy for Puerto Rico to double its debt in 10 years by selling bonds to plug annual budget deficits and pay for operating expenses the same combination that brought New York City to the brink of bankruptcy in the 1970s. As a result of the predatory lending tactics of Wall Street, coupled with the irresponsible nature of the state, Puerto Ricos national bank is now prepped for receivership if necessary, according to the measure. The Federal Reserve of New York has a long-standing relationship with Puerto Rico which has undoubtedly led to the territorys fiscal woes. In 2014, the Fed issued a warning to the Puerto Rican government telling them to grow the economy (i.e. take on more Fed debt) or watch their economy crumble. According to the Federal Reserves report: The Island appears to face two alternatives: either manage its own economic adjustment and put the Commonwealth on a secure fiscal basis, or wait for outmigration and the discipline of the market to force an even more painful adjustment, particularly for those unable or unwilling to leave the Island. Thus, the demanding choices Puerto Rico makes today will affect its long-run economic prospects and the future livelihood of its residents. A better future for Puerto Rico requires decisive leadership today. It seems that refusing to take on more debt has created a terminal condition for Puerto Ricos economy as the GDP remains stagnant, interest rates on their debt skyrocket, and citizens are fleeing the island at record rates. As the Legislature met to discuss restructuring a $5 billion portion of the islands debt, the Government Development Bank balked at the deal, noting that Wall Street has gotten them to where they are today. It is exactly the type of Wall Street solution that led us to the precipice we are now looking over, they said. According to the Pew Research Center, 84,000 people left for the mainland U.S. last year. The unpayable mountain of debt and the resultant chaos in Puerto Rico is but the canary in the coal mine for the fiscal situation soon to be faced by other states who have long practiced the same heavily irresponsible borrowing practices. In the short time that it will take most people to read this article, the US national debt will increase by $3,000,000. As it stands currently, the United States national debt is approaching $20,000,000,000,000 a number now symbolic of the mathematical certainty that is the Wests financial collapse.

2	Comments From THIS Duck Dynasty Star Could Get The Show Taken Off The Air Duck Dynastys Phil Robertson is never out of the controversial spotlight for long. This time, the patriarch is under fire for comments he made about atheists at an annual prayer breakfast in Florida. Two guys break into an atheists home, Robertson began, describing a hypothetical situation. He has a little atheist wife and two little atheist daughters. Two guys break into his home and tie him up in a chair and gag him. And then they take his two daughters in front of him and rape both of them and then shoot em and they take his wife and then decapitate her head off in front of him. And they can look at him and say Isnt it great that I dont have to worry about being judged? Isnt it great that theres nothing wrong with this? Theres no right or wrong, now is there dude? The controversial scenario led Robertson to his main point. Wouldnt it be something if there was something wrong with this? But youre the one who says there is no God, theres no right, theres no wrong, so were just having fun. Were sick in the head, have a nice day, Robertson closed the story. If it happened to them, Phil concluded. They probably would say, Something about this just aint right. What do you think of the story? Did Phil go too far or was he simply illustrating his point? 
2	Obamas America: Brawl Breaks Out At Welfare Office For Outrageous Reason [VIDEO] President Barack Obama and his liberal supporters continue to claim that they can eliminate societies long-term problems. All we need to agree to is government intervention. Of course, one of their top priorities is income equality, which many believe indicates signs of a desire for wealth redistributions. According to Obama, those who have too much should give some of what they have to those who do not have enough. Through continuing to support Americans on welfare, Obama has only increased a mentality of entitlement in America. His agenda? These people dependent on the government are sure to become Democratic voters. Recently, a brawl at a welfare office was caught on video. The footage is making its way around the internet, as a perfect demonstration of what can happen when entitled people get exactly what they want from the government. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. UPDATE: Our apologies, the video has since been deleted due to its graphic nature. 
2	Jimmy Johns Takes Epic Stand For Christianity, Please Show Them Your Support In the eight years that Barack Obama has been our president, weve seen a growing resentment toward Christians in this country. Christians have been told not to say Merry Christmas so that they dont offend those of other religions. Donald Trump has made it clear he will not tolerate this kind of discrimination. Now it seems this message is already being embraced by businesses throughout the country. Reddit user jrosen94 shared an awesome sandwich wrap from Jimmy Johns this week with a Merry Christmas sticker across it. The post received more than 6,000 upvotes. Another Reddit user, barefootoutside, also made a comment about the return of Merry Christmas. A cashier told me and very Lebanese mother Goodbye and Merry Christmas! And my mother looks at me and says: See? Its because of Trump that people are saying Merry Christmas again!

2	Renowned Attorney Just Drafted Articles Of Impeachment For Obama Nationwide, those frustrated with President Obamas continuous disregard of the law have been calling for his impeachment. Now, a top Washington attorney is starting to draft the articles. In order for the impeachment to come to fruition, it would need both the support of the public, and for Republicans to take the Senate in November. The combination has Democrats shaking. Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy is hoping to move the case forward, outlining the case for impeachment in his new book called Faithless Execution. The book both makes a legal case for impeachment, and then outlines what McCarthy views as a plan to build a foundation in Washington. You have to make the public case that the president has to be removed, claimed McCarthy, Im trying to make it. McCarthy hopes that the exercise of building the case and unfolding the administrations pervasive lawlessness could pressure the president to reverse course and adhere to the law. According to McCarthy, even if the political case for ousting the president is futile, spotlighting presidential lawlessness could create the political and electoral conditions in which Congress could more effectively counter President Obamas lawlessness. Here are the seven reasons McCarthy has listed for impeachment: REFUSAL TO EXECUTE LAWS FAITHFULLY Willful disregard for congressionally enacted, constitutionally valid law, while dictating policy by executive fiat. Including multiple unilaterally decreed amendments to the Affordable Care Act in direct contravention of the law passed by Congress. USURPING CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY Unilaterally instigating an undeclared, unauthorized, and unprovoked war in Libya, resulting in thousands of deaths, the killing of a head of state, and the empowerment of anti-America jihadists. DERELICTION OF DUTY AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF The grossly inadequate security for government personnel in Benghazi, leading to the murder of four American citizens, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya. FRAUD ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE Deliberately misled the American people in the enactment and implementation of Obamacare, and on scandals from Fast Furious and the IRS harassment of conservative groups to the Benghazi massacre. FAILURE TO EXECUTE LAWS FAITHFULLY: IMMIGRATION Granting amnesty through executive edict and refusing to enforce existing immigration laws. FAILURE TO EXECUTE LAWS FAITHFULLY: DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE The systematic politicization of a Department of Justice that has covered up the Fast Furious scandal, denied Americans equal protection of the laws, encouraged violations of law, and stonewalled Congress. UNDERMINING THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE The selective targeting of political opponents for harassment and abuse by the Internal Revenue Service, while restricting freedom of speech and conscience. What do you think? Should Obama be impeached? 
1	An area medical supply firm unveiled plans yesterday to waste both money and employees time via the internet. By entering cyberspace, we can reduce worker productivity and increase expenses exorbitantly at the same time, said Stanley Habert, CEO of Syrus Industries. The company has already seen results: Employees waste up to 50 percent more time than before, accountant Steve Piersall said. All the more exciting is that this is costing us, in terms of modem purchases and web-server time, upwards of $80,000 per week. Syrus may also go on-line with a website. 
2	Taliban Claim They Will Kidnap More Americans Following ObamaWell that didnt take long. Shortly after President Obama single-handedly decided to negotiate with terrorists, the Taliban are threatening to kidnap more Americans. Not long ago, President Obama announced to America that he was releasing 5 terrorists from the Guantanamo Bay detention center in exchange for Bowe Bergdahl, who was believed to be held prisoner. Later, it was revealed that Berghal willingly abandoned his post, and even left a letter denouncing his citizenship from the United States (a claim which the President, for obvious reasons, is denying). Now, according to a report by TIME a Taliban commander close to the negotiations over the release of U.S. Army Sgt. Bow Bergdahl told TIME Thursday that the deal made to secure Bergdahls release has made it more appealing for fighters to capture American soldiers and other high-value targets. According to the article, the commander told reporters, Its better to kidnap one person like Bergdahl than kidnapping hundreds of useless people. It has encouraged our people. Now everybody will work hard to capture such an important bird. What do you think? Did Obama make a huge mistake?

2	Clinton Mistress Says Bill Used To Cross Dress And 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? 
3	Lasers and Electronic Warfare To Be Used in New World of Drones and Anti-DronesBy Nicholas West The proliferation of commercial drones, in particular, is expected to present new challenges to an increasingly crowded sky. Among commercial and military drones is the potential for swarms of micro-drones that can be hidden in plain sight at least to the naked eye. However, drones are never hidden from the electromagnetic spectrum. A UK defense firm announced that it is working on a comprehensive defense shield that aims to control the electromagnetic spectrum electronic warfare. It will not only identify drones that are a threat either to populations or critical infrastructure such as nuclear facilities, military installations, and seats of government, but also will have the ability to hijack the aircraft and remove it from the area. Selex ES is calling its system Falcon Shield, highlighted in a recent press release: Easy to make, cheap to buy, simple to fly and hard to detect, commercially available drones are one of the most quickly evolving technological threats to both military and civilian environments. In response to this threat, Finmeccanica Selex ES has introduced Falcon Shield, which can provide users with a rapidly deployable, scalable and modular system to detect, disrupt, deny and defeat the potential threat. Source As is the case with nearly all press releases of this type, the bulk of it reads as a sales pitch to its potential military customers, obviously touting its many technical solutions-based elements. However, it does indicate the general direction of drone warfare. As nation after nation becomes wired for war and neutralizes then surpasses each other, new methods must be developed to maintain military supremacy. This is the nature of military conflict and one of the prime reasons why the world seems to have new security threats each and every day. It becomes one endless problem-reaction-solution loop that only serves to benefit those who are invested in each of the three components. At the same time this solution is presented which really only elevates all threats to a new level a counter measure is already in development. The latest cloaking technology is expected to render drones completely invisible not only to the naked eye, but also in the electromagnetic spectrum: By scattering the electromagnetic radiation in the visible, infrared or radar spectrum, such metamaterial will be able to render a coated object undetectable in these wave frequencies, by forcing light or radar waves to bypass the object surface through the coating, which effectively cloaks the object. Source A German company, Rheinmetall Defense Electronics, is also developing an anti-drone system that involves four mounted lasers which are intended to be operated as a sea-based defense apparatus that eliminates targets at the speed of light. It is lovingly referred to by the company as HEL on wheels High Energy Laser. The sky should get interesting as earlier this week I wrote about an announcement from General Atomics that they were no more than two years from attaching laser systems TO their drones. See both videos below to get an idea of what the future of war might look like. Evidently it continues to be a great time to be in the business of war.

3	A Possible View from a Galactic Being In Favor of Human Evolution: Writing ContestLarissa The time is fast approaching for the shift for those on Earth to awaken to the presence of multi- dimensional universe. For the moment the majority think their three-dimensional world is all there is. The cosmic sun is intensifying its rays of knowledge and we must have enough volunteers in place to help through the time of chaos which may ensue (or not, as the future is not set). Those volunteers who arrived after the atomic bombing of Japan have been continually subjected to our rivals attack a desperate attempt to keep humans enslaved. One tactic has been the dissemination of drugs this has been a great temptation because the frequency of planet earth is such that operating in the body is most unpleasant (an understatement!) and the drugs appear to bring some relief. Taking these drugs have disrupted our signals and created disharmony. Another tactic has been to encourage indiscriminate sex and break down the family system as well as create imbalance between male and female. The beings from the sixties call themselves the Love generation. So there is an understanding that love energy is primary in creation principle. Our adversaries have been feeding off emotions of humans the ones of violence and fear and continual blood sacrifices of wars. If only the humans could understand that through their emotions they can be guided to truth. Emotions are connected to the spiritual body, which in turn communicates with multi-dimensionality. We are continually sending information to help them understand the importance of releasing rational mind and paying attention to intuition. Humanity in general is ignorant of the psychological manipulation upon it which has resulted in enslavement. They have no idea there is a reality outside the third dimension. May our intrepid volunteers help them to evolve to take their place in our galactic brotherhood! We bring greetings and gratitude to our brother David Icke, who has so tirelessly worked to help humanity take the next step in evolution. 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.

3	Discovery of Another Major Problem with Modern BreadHeather Callaghan Many trending diets have cut grains altogether; others say thats throwing the baby out with the bathwater. While Paleo cuts out the whole food group, organizations like Weston A. Price recommend avoiding all refined products and using traditional methods of fermentation and soaking. Books like Wheat Belly and Grain Brain aptly scrutinized the genetic engineering and other issues via radiation that mutates the product willy-nilly. Its true, most of todays grain products bear decreasing resemblance to our great-grandfathers food. Still others point to the pesticides involved as the real culprit for ill health. And then there are added dough conditioners and bromides which block the uptake of iodine to the thyroid. But most people find it difficult to remove one of Americas favorite staples. Is there a way to enjoy bread real bread today? One wheat-breeder says yes. Tom Philpottof Mother Jones reports: Stephen Jones, a wheat breeder at Washington State University, suspects that weve been scapegoating the grain when we should be blaming the oven. Before I explain why, let me make clear that Jones is no apologist for Big Wheat. Back in 2003, the industry-dominated Washington Grain Commission threatened to stop funding his program after he refused to work with genetically modified varieties owned by the agrichemical giant BASF. He eschews conventional breedingwhich he believes is all about generating bland strains tailored to the needs of corporate producersfor his own method, which prioritizes flavor. Even so, Jones doesnt buy the notion that the modern breeding he shuns is causing bad reactions to bread. Its not wheat itself, he says, pointing to a 2013 study by the US Department of Agriculture that found no evidence of increasing levels of gluten in wheat over the decades. Rather, Jones believes that the true problem with bread is how we make it. In commercial bakeries, rising time has been winnowed from hours or even days down to mere minutes, thanks to fast-acting yeasts and additives. By contrast, the team in Jones laboratory, located in a rural stretch along Puget Sound, lets dough rise for as long as 12 hoursand theyve found that the longer it rises, the less potent the gluten that remains in the finished bread. [emphasis added, HC] While Jones, being a wheat-breeder, supports the actual wheat, which may or may not be irradiated/sprayed with pesticides by not using the additives and letting the dough do its thing, the more the bread resembles original bread. Jones told Philpott of the gratuitous amounts of gluten that are added to modern commercial bread on top of the amounts present in the finished, rush-baked product. Truly unnatural amounts. He says to look for vital wheat gluten among other gluten additives on the label. Allegedly, the nations vital gluten intake per capita has tripled in nearly 40 years. Jones firmly believes it is the baking process causing the problems, not the wheat what do you think? For what its worth Philpott became a believer in Jones method when he made a slow-fermented whole-wheat bread with one of Jones sourdough starters. Afterward, he did not feel bloated, but instead felt great. The good news if you wish to continue eating bread? You can make your own traditional bread let the dough do its business. Speaking of business, more bakeries are falling back on traditional methods as a way to streamline the process for bread with few ingredients, without adding the gluten-free junk additives. You can opt to buy from these bakeries for convenience. Hopefully, they remember to tell you to freeze what you arent using a testament to their traditional, natural state they get moldy fast!

2	Muslim Demands Restaurant Remove Bacon Sign And Then THIS Happens You Will Be Outraged Weve seen it before: American businesses are being censored in an attempt to avoid being deemed Islamophobic. The United States Constitution tells us that restaurants should be allowed to display advertisements that mention bacon. This is America, after all. However, when Sneakers Bistro in Vermont put up a sign reading Yield for Sneakers Bacon they received complaints from the Muslim community. Given the large number of Muslim families in Winooski, as well as many others who do not eat pork for a variety of reasons, it seems unnecessary for this insensitive business sign to be at the citys main crosswalk, the Muslim woman wrote in a public complaint. When the owner of Sneakers Bistro heard of the complaint, he took down the sign immediately. In a Facebook post, he cited safety concerns as the reason for doing so. He received almost immediate backlash from supporters of the restaurant, who did not agree with his decision to comply with the ridiculous demands. What do you think? Do businesses need to stop being bullied by the Muslim community?

3	Popular Show Breaking the Set Listed As One Of The Justifications For Russia PunishmentBy Jay Syrmopoulos The report is sorely lacking in any hard evidence, providing nothing new to support their dubious politicized claims of Russia hacking the election, and instead devoting a majority of the report to speculative claims about Russian motives and criticism of the Russian television station RT. As Daniel McAdams of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity succinctly noted: Whats the $80-plus billion dollar per year US Intelligence Communitys big beef with RT? One of its big complaints is that RT undermined US democracy when it broadcast, hosted, and advertised third-party candidate debates We are to believe that Russia undermined our political system by giving voice to official yet minor US political parties? Democracy is undermined when the democratic process is highlighted? The Intelligence Community report also blamed two RT programs, Breaking the Set and Truthseeker for undermining Americans confidence in US electoral processes. One problem: these programs have not been on television for more than a year. RT is guilty of undermining US democracy, found the report, because an RT reporter traveled to the Ecuadorian embassy in London to interview Wikileaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange, who has received asylum there since 2012. Presumably this report was prepared before conservative Fox News personality Sean Hannity did the exact same thing this past weekor Hannity is going to have some explaining to do. Abby Martin, former host of Breaking the Set, took to social media shortly after the report was released to express the absolute absurdity of the claims in the report, noting that the show had actually ended 2 years ago significantly prior to the DNC and GOP presidential candidates even being nominated let alone affecting the election results. Taking the IC report to task, McAdams went on to note: The Kremlin funds RT to the tune of $190 million per year, states the report, and its audience keeps growing. The report does not mention that the US government spends vastly more $780 millionfor 2017 on its worldwide propaganda effort through the government-funded Broadcasting Board of Governors. Do what we say but not what we do RT is on the US Intelligence Communitys bad list because, Some of RTs hosts have compared the United States toImperial Rome. Is this really such a shock to the delicate American viewer? According to a recent surveyconducted by the Charles Koch Institute, most Americans oppose Washingtons interventionist foreign policy. Are the Kochs also on the Kremlin payroll? And RT is evil because it points out that the neocon project to import jihadists into Syria to overthrow that secular government was not such a great idea. Writes the Intelligence Report: RT is a leading media voiceopposingWestern intervention in the Syrian conflict. The one thing that can be ascertained from this report is that there is scant evidence to directly implicate Russia in doing anything different than what the U.S. does in elections across the globe, including Russia, on a regular basis. The report attempts to bolster the IC assessment by noting that the conclusions are reached with high confidence the same high confidence that was given in 2002 on the IC report about suspected Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and we all know how that turned out. The report is severely lacking in any hard evidence, and extremely rife with speculative judgments, such as the following: We assess Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential election. Russias goals were to undermine public faith in the US democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency. We further assess Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump. We have high confidence in these judgments. We also assess Putin and the Russian Government aspired to help President-elect Trumps election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him. All three agencies agree with this judgment. But do all three agencies actually agree with this assessment? While it appears at first glance as if the intel agencies are in agreement, upon closer inspection it becomes obvious that there is disagreement in the IC, as the report notes that while the CIA and FB have high confidence in this judgment; (the) NSA has moderate confidence. So, what do these distinctions of high or moderate confidence mean? High confidence generally indicates judgments based on high-quality information, and/or the nature of the issue makes it possible to render a solid judgment. However, high confidence judgments still carry a risk of being wrong. Moderate confidence generally means credibly sourced and plausible information, but not of sufficient quality or corroboration to warrant a higher level of confidence. Interesting, the one agency that based their assessment strictly upon hard evidence, and not speculation, only gave a nod of moderate confidence, which certainly does not embolden confidence in this highly politicized report. In fact, William Binney, one of the architects of the NSAs current domestic spying apparatus, has publicly stated that the NSA should have solid irrefutable evidence of Russian hacking if it were to actually exist leading him to suspect that the information was not hacked, but rather taken on a thumb drive from someone on the inside and then leaked. The true insanity contained within this report is that it essentially lays blame on Russia for influencing the election by accusing them of allowing Americans to see truthful information. Only in some type of strange Orwellian paradigm can a government claim that people having access to actual factual information about political candidates is a threat to democracy. Ironically, what is taking place is extremely similar to events that unfolded in Russia during their 2012 election cycle. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) was forced out of Russia amid accusations of undermining Russian sovereignty and attempting to influence their internal election politics. Of course, when USAID was kicked out over these allegations the U.S. loudly cried foul, as they claimed the organization was simply promoting Western democratic values to strengthen the Russian democracy. Senior Russian officials claimed that some of the agencys programs, such as some human rights groups and election monitoring, worked to undermine Russias sovereignty, according to the state news agency RIA Novosti. On election night in Moscow in March 2012, Vladimir Putin capped off his victory speech with a comment directed at foreign influence in Russian elections when he said: We showed that no one can impose anything on us no one, nothing! We showed that our people can distinguish between the desire for renewal and political provocation that has but one goal: to destroy Russias statehood and usurp power. Prior to that, in December, he had blamed U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for giving a signal to Russians protesting his rule to turn out for street demonstrations. So there you have it. Essentially, during the 2016 U.S. election cycle, the Russians operated in a similar manner to what the U.S. did in Russia during their 2012 elections. Perhaps the lesson is that whats good for the goose is good for the gander meaning that if we choose to meddle in the internal presidential politics of other states, then the U.S. should expect that same favor to be returned. To feign indignation over claimed interference, when operating in virtually the same manner, is disingenuous and exposes a true lack of legitimacy and leadership of which the American people have largely tired. With virtually the whole of U.S. military posture over the past 65+ years directed at planning for and mitigating a potential global conflict with the Soviet Union/Russia, there are extremely powerful and entrenched bureaucratic interests that essentially refuse to accept a new paradigm between the Cold War foes. Make no mistake that what you are seeing is not a legitimate concern to the fabric of our democratic system, but rather a contrived problem, meant to propagandize the American public into accepting a continuation of the Cold War by ratcheting up tensions with Russia with an intention of creating conditions that wont allow Trump to proceed with a rapprochement with Russia, as he has stated he plans to do. For all intents and purposes, this exercise in American propaganda is actually a manifestation of the deep state/military industrial complex attempting to wrestle control back from the American people after they elected a highly divisive President that ran on a platform of peace with Russia.

3	Wal-Marts Worst Stock Crash In 27 Years Is Another Sign That The Economy Is Rapidly Falling ApartBy Michael Snyder Wal-Mart Stores Inc. suffered its worst stock decline in more than 27 years after predicting a drop in annual profit, underscoring the giant retailers struggles to reignite growth. Earnings will decrease 6 percent to 12 percent in fiscal 2017, which ends in January of that year, the Bentonville, Arkansas-based company said at its investor day on Wednesday. Analysts had estimated a gain of 4 percent on average, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. If it was just Wal-Mart that was having trouble, that would be bad enough. But the truth is that signs that the U.S. economy has entered another major downturn are popping up all around us. Just consider the following list of economic indicatorsthat Graham Summers recently put out The Fed has now kept interest rates at zero for 81 months. This is the longest period in the history of the Feds existence, lasting longer than even the 1938-1942 period of ZIRP. And the US economy is moving back into recession. Consider that 1) Industrial production fell five months straight in the first half of 2015. This has never happened outside of a recession. 2) Merchant Wholesalers Sales are in recession territory. 3) The Empire Manufacturing Survey is in recession territory. 4) All four of the Feds September Purchasing Manager Index (PMI) readings (Philadelphia, New York, Richmond, and Kansas City) came in at readings of sub-zero. This usually happens when you are already 4-5 months into a recession. (H/T Bill Hester) Another huge red flag is the fact that month after month fewer products are being shipped around the country compared to last year. If less stuff is being shipped around by truck, rail and air, is it a sign that the economy is getting better or is it a sign that the economy is getting worse? The answer, of course, is self-evident. With that in mind, please read the following excerpt which comes from a recent article by Wolf Richter It has been crummy all year: With the exception of January and February, theshipping volume has been lower year-over-year every month! The index is broad. It tracks data from shippers, no matter what carrier they choose, whether truck, rail, or air, and includes carriers like FedEx and UPS. Evidence keeps piling up in the most unpleasant manner that something isnt quite right in the real economy. The world is now in an inexplicable slowdown inexplicable for central bankers whove cut interest rates to zero or below zero years ago, and whore still dousing some economies with QE even as governments are running up big deficits. And yet, despite seven years of this huge monetary and fiscal stimulus, the global economy is deteriorating. Okay, so is there anyone out there that still believes that the U.S. economy is in good shape? The Obama administration will probably not admit it for a very long time, but the truth is that the numbers very clearly tell us that we are in a recession. Anybody out there, whether an expert or just someone you happen to know, that tells you that everything is just fine is either completely ignorant or they are purposely lying to you. And just like in 2008, state and local governments are starting to get into tremendous financial trouble as the real economy sputters. For example, the governor of Illinois has told reporters thatwe are out of money now and that pension fund payments will be delayed as a result Illinois will delay payments to its pension fund as a prolonged budget impasse causes a cash shortage, Comptroller Leslie Geissler Munger said. The spending standoff between Republican Governor Bruce Rauner and Democratic legislative leaders has extended into its fourth month with no signs of ending. Munger said her office will postpone a $560 million retirement-fund payment next month, and may make the December contribution late. This decision is choosing the least of a number of bad options, Munger told reporters in Chicago on Wednesday. For all intents and purposes, we are out of money now. When these sorts of things started happening in 2008, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and the Bush administration went into full-blown denial mode. They kept telling all of us not to worry and that everything would be okay, and that just made things worse in the end. The same thing is happening now. The Obama administration and the mainstream media keep talking about an economic recovery even in the face of numbers such as I have discussed in this article. Perhaps things are going well for you personally at the moment, and that is great. But now is not the time to buy lots of new toys. Nor is it the time to accumulate more debt. Instead, now is a time to position yourself for a period of difficulty that could stretch on for years. The next recession is here, and it is going to grow progressively worse. The wise will take heed and make preparations, but the foolish will just keep on doing what they have been doing until it is far too late. 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. .the foolish will just keep on doing what they have been doing. 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.

Singhs religion requires male adherents to wear a turban and let their beards grow naturally. I am proud to serve my country as an officer and I look forward to being able to continue serving without having to give up my religious beliefs, Singh told reporters. Now the Pentagon just needs to make Cpt. Singhs exemption permanent, Eric Baxter of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty told reporters. In fact, it should explain why it is using the beard ban to discriminate against any Sikh American. The decision is rubbing conservatives the wrong way, given that the administration has not even made allowances for Christian men and women in uniform. There is no question that religious minorities seem to be given preference over Christians. What do you think of the decision? Are you tired of double standards?

2	Controversial Dixie Chicks Are In The News AGAIN, You May Never Forgive Them For THIS The Dixie Chicks cant seem to shy away from controversy. Their big mouths and political opinions have defined their career. Their music is actually very enjoyable and defines the combination of bluegrass/folk/country. This does not make up for their opinions that millions of Americans disagree with. Many have boycotted the country trio and they have every right to do so. The trio is scheduled for a world tour and their music will spread even further than before. A young star has just announced that she wants to emulate the career of the Dixie Chicks. Emily Ann Roberts got second place in season 9 of The Voice. Jordan Smith won that year but Emily is looking to further her career. Emily performed with her idol Ricky Skaggs while on the show. She loved every minute of the performance but she does not want to follow Ricky Skaggs. She wants to represent what the Dixie Chicks are about. She loves their country sound with bluegrass instrumentals and lyrics. She wants her music to emulate theirs. I understand her love for their music, but I only see this going one place. I see her making the same mistakes of the famous country trio. She will shoot up to stardom due to her country charm and upbeat songs. Everyone will adore her, but then she will feel too comfortable with her audience. She will make the mistake of thinking her audience agrees with her o n everything. She will be wrong and her fans will abandon her. I do not want this to happen to Emily. Her career is just beginning and to make a mistake like this will end it too son. Emily make the music you want to, but emulate better role models.

3	Syria Ravaged By Outbreaks Of Disease: Typhoid, Cholera, Measles And TuberculosisChris Carrington The WHO says outbreaks of diseases carried in water specifically hepatitis, typhoid, cholera and dysentery are inevitable, given the severe disruption to Syrias health system. Cases of diarrhea and hepatitis-A have more than doubled since January. There have also been outbreaks of measles and typhoid. According to the WHO, at least 35% of the countrys public hospitals are out of service, and in some areas, up to 70% of the health workforce has fled. Almost 4.25 million Syrians who have had to leave their homes are living in overcrowded, unsanitary conditions, with concerns about the provision of safe drinking water and safe sanitation. All the risk factors that enhance the transmission of communicable diseases in emergencies are present in the current crisis in Syria and its neighboring countries, said Dr Jaouad Mahjour, director of the department for communicable diseases at the WHOs regional office for the Eastern Mediterranean. We are anticipating a number of public health risks from water-borne diseases, specifically hepatitis, typhoid, cholera and dysentery. Given the scale of population movement both inside Syria and across borders, together with deteriorating environmental health conditions, outbreaks are inevitable. The WHO says cases of measles have reappeared in Syria, due to problems running national vaccination campaigns. There have also been reports of measles, tuberculosis and cutaneous leishmaniasis a disease carried by insects among displaced Syrians in Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq and Turkey. Jordan had previously reported zero cases of measles for three years, and was planning to officially declare that it was measles-free, said Dr Mahjour. The situation will deteriorate if prevention and control measures are not scaled up soon. Medical facilities are often actually targeted during conflict as a way of depriving the enemy of medical assistance. Inevitably this hits civilians even harder than the military who are far more mobile and often have doctors in their ranks. ANY collapse situation, natural or man-made leads to the kind of problems Syria is now facing. Katrina, Haiti and the Indonesian quake were all followed by outbreaks of disease, as were the Kosovo and Bosnia conflicts.

3	Americas Largest Police Union Pushes for Hate Crime Laws to Include CopsCassius Methyl They are pushing for crimes against police to be considered hate crimes in the eyes of the law. Right now, its a hate crime if you attack someone solely because of the color of their skin, but it ought to be a hate crime if you attack someone solely because of the color of their uniform as well, said the executive director of the National Fraternal Order of Police, Jim Pasco. The president of the group also said Enough is enough! Its time for Congress to do something to protect the men and women who protect us. Theres just one problem a person cannot control the color of their skin. A voluntary choice to wear a uniform and become a cop is completely different from something a person has no control over. This is something that well have to consider, said White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest. It doesnt look like the state cares about this request. A hate crime is defined as a criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offenders bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnic origin or sexual orientation. by the federal government. A hate crime tends to involve race, or things about a person or group of people that they have no control over, something that inherently defines them. Being a police officer is not an ethnic background, religion, or disability; it is a conscious choice to become a cop and enforce the laws of the state, disregarding whether those enforced laws are immoral or not. Therefore, how can it possibly be a hate crime when someone does something to a cop? Its every individual officers choice to be in that line of work. When an individual becomes a cop, they are knowingly joining a profession that many people simply do not like for various many times justified reasons. Unless statism is truly a religion, police should not be considered a target under hate crime laws. Cassius Methyl writes for TheAntiMedia.org, where this first appeared.

3	The Federal EEOC Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Sues Hospital Over Employees REFUSING Flu Shots: Alleges RELIGIOUS DiscriminationBy Catherine J. Frompovich Whats the basis for the legal action in federal court in Erie, Pennsylvania? Alleged discrimination of religious rights for the firing of six hospital employees who refused flu vaccine shots! Ironically, the suit was filed against Saint Vincent Hospital founded by the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Northwestern Pennsylvania who, in my humble opinion, should have known better than discharge their employees. (Source) Not knowing all the facts in each respective employees case, Id venture to say that the hospital also could be charged with violation of the American with Disabilities Act Amendments Act, depending upon which of the prongs in that act was/were involved and can apply. If there were added health issues involved, such as allergies to vaccine toxins that also can impact religious rights violations or being a cancer survivor, or another prong(s) per the ADAAA, then the feds have an even more potent case against the employer, I believe. I would encourage all employees being mandated to take flu vaccines against their rights to Informed Consent and depriving them of their philosophical or religious exemptions to take note of this court case and bring it to the attention of your legal team and your employer too. Below is important information regarding the ADAAAs prongs, which are the defining criteria in employment discrimination and, which I contend, also can be applied to other healthcare/damaging situations since theres definitive differentiation established in federal law that now canand shouldbe applied to persons who suffer with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) and/or, especially, Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) from exposure to Wi-Fi at work or school, both of which have been defined by the World Health Organization as valid health issues. Section 1630.2(J) Substantially Limits Indeed, Congress anticipated that the first and second prongs of the definition of disability would be used only by people who are affirmatively seeking reasonable accommodations * * *and that [a]ny individual who has been discriminated against because of an impairmentshort of being granted a reasonable accommodation * * *should be bringing a claim under the third prong of the definition which will require no showing with regard to the severity of his or her impairment. [1] Regarding Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) health issues, heres a short video that will give readers enough information to stand your human rights ground and take legal action, in my opinion, if you cite the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act. Jeromy Johnson, TEDx Talk Berkeley Wireless Wakeup Call February 6, 2016 [EMF/EHS expert] Here is the article about the law suit and the six employees who refused the flu vaccine that caused the feds to sue the employer alleging discrimination of religious rights regarding forced vaccinations.

1	Touting it as perhaps their most daring yet nuanced field to date, the NCAA's hip, trendsetting counter-committee released its bracket of 64 obscure alternative tournament teams Monday. 'While the mainstream selection committee has, as usual, been droning on and on about Duke and Kansas, not a single one of those unimaginative sheep has paid any attention to what our three-seed Bethune-Cookman brings to the table, or is even the least bit aware of the hypnotic qualities of our at-large bid, TexasPan American,' said 28-year-old chairman Michael Ley, reminding reporters that the counter-committee was seeding quirky and distinctive Gonzaga way before anybody else had even heard of them. 'Somebody might look at our No. 1-overall Radford's 5-24 record and say they don't belong in a postseason tournament, but a record is exactly the kind of thing the majority of America would hold against a basketball team. We really probed deeper into their wonderfully idiosyncratic body of work, and we liked what we found.' When asked why the counter-committee didn't choose to expand its field to 68, as the traditional NCAA tournament has, several members laughed, shook their heads, and said that 'if you have to ask, you clearly don't get it in the first place.'

Will You Stand By Her Throughout Donald Trumps campaign, many Americans speculated (and hoped) that his daughter, Ivanka, would play a major role in his administration. Sadly, she confirmed that she had no intention of leaving her businesses for the White House. Fortunately, it appears she will still have great influenceparticularly in Trumps first year. Though Melania Trump has been welcomed with open arms, she has made the decision not to be present during the first year of her husbands president. Instead, she will stay behind in New York City so Barron can finish up his school year. Now, the New York Times has reported that Ivanka will be playing the role of First Lady in 2017. Ivanka and her husband have been spotted house hunting in Washington DC. She is also rumored to be distancing herself from the businesses (if only temporarily). She has taken a leave of absence from the Trump organization. America is very excited about the prospect of Ivanka having a hand in White House affairs. People love her and she has already embraced the role of being the most prominent future first daughter in history. Trumps two sons will be taking over the responsibility of his real estate businesses. What do you think? Will Ivanka do a great job by her fathers side? 
2	U.S. Pilots Go Over Obamas Head With Airstrikes Killing ISIS Leader This week, a Pentagon spokesman confirmed that a U.S. airstrike last month killed Hafiz Sayed Khan, the head of the Islamic States branch in Afghanistan. Khan was killed in the end of July when U.S. and Afghan Special Forces conducted operations against the terror group in southern Nangarhar province, Deputy Secretary Gordon Trowbridge said in his statement. Khans death comes as part of a major effort and partnership to take down the Islamic State, which has become a growing threat in Afghanistan this year. Khan is a former Pakistani Taliban member, and became head of the regions Islamic State branch in 2015, pledging allegiance to the groups leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Trowbridge confirmed Khan was known to directly participate in attacks against the U.S. and coalition forces. His network terrorized Afghans. The Afghan branch uses Nangarhar to train, equip, disseminate and control fighter pipelines, providing IS commanders with a continuous supply of fighters Khans death affects recruiting efforts and will disrupt their operations in Afghanistan and the region, Trowbridge claimed. Afghan Ambassador to Pakistan Omar Zakhilwal also commented on the attacks, confirming the strike also killed several senior Islamic State commanders and fighters. This is the second time in two years that Khan was believed to be killed by a drone. A claim surfaced last year from Afghan intelligence agents, but the report of his death was never confirmed. Additionally, this is the second reported death of a high-profile extremist in the region in four months. Mullah Akhtar Mansour, the Afghan Taliban leader, was killed in May.

3	Ohio House Passes Bill to Close Federal Asset Forfeiture LoopholeBy Mike Maharrey Rep. Rob McColley (R-Napoleon) and Rep. Tom Brinkman Jr. (R-Cincinnati), along with 17 cosponsors, introduced HB347 last fall. The legislation would require a criminal conviction before proceeding with asset forfeiture in the majority of cases. The bill also almost completely closes a 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. It will now move to the Senate for further consideration. According to the Institute of Justice, Ohio already has pretty good asset forfeiture laws compared to many states. It requires a higher standard than most and does not funnel forfeiture proceeds back to local law enforcement agencies. But police and prosecutors regularly circumvent these requirements using a loophole to simply transfer assets to the feds. Ohio state and local law enforcement agencies raked in more than $80 million this way between 2000 and 2008. HB347 closes this loophole allowing prosecutors to bypass more stringent state asset forfeiture laws by passing cases off to the federal government under its Equitable Sharing forfeiture program. The proposed law would specifically prohibit this practice in most cases. In other words the legislation does not attempt to interfere with federally initiated forfeiture, but bans state and local police from passing off their cases to federal jurisdiction in most cases. 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. Late last December 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 have regularly utilized this loophole. As the Tenth Amendment Center previously reported the federal government has 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. As originally filed, HB347 would have completely eliminated civil asset forfeiture and required a conviction in all cases. The House Judiciary Committee amended the bill. It would now allow civil asset forfeiture in cases against any person who is alleged to have received, retained, possessed, or disposed of proceeds, in an amount exceeding $25,000, knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that the proceeds were allegedly derived from the commission of a drug abuse offense, a theft offense, or the offense of trafficking in persons. All other cases would require a criminal conviction before prosecutors could proceed with forfeiture proceedings. The bill now moves to the Senate, where it will first need to pass out of committee before the full Senate can consider it.

3	Somebody Should Start The Stuff Costs Too Much PartyMichael Snyder, Contributor I feel like I am in the middle of some bizarre movie entitled The Incredible Shrinking Dollar. Sadly, I am far from alone. There are millions upon millions of American families that are seeing their expenses continue to rise even as their paychecks remain the same. But neither Barack Obama nor Mitt Romney seems very concerned about inflation. In fact, the Federal Reserve, QE3 and Ben Bernanke were not even mentioned in any of the three presidential debates. So I think that somebody should start the Stuff Costs Too Much Party. Inflation is a tax which is destroying the value of each dollar that we hold a little bit more every single day, and the American people deserve to know the truth about what is going on. In this day and age, it simply does not pay to put money into long-term savings. When you finally pull your money out it will have far less purchasing power than it originally did. Way back in 1950, you could buy a first-class stamp for just 3 cents and you could buy a gallon of gasoline for about 27 cents. Wouldnt it be great if you could still get a gallon of gasoline for 27 cents? A recent article by Benny Johnson detailed how the prices of many of the things that we buy on a regular basis absolutely soared between 2002 and 2012. Just check out these price increases Eggs: 73% So what will the next ten years bring? Unfortunately, we are already being told that it looks like inflation is going to start accelerating. A recent CNBC article started this way That is not what millions of struggling American families need to hear right about now. Their bills just keep going up but their paychecks are not keeping pace. Have you noticed that almost everything that we spend money on just keeps rising year after year? Has your paycheck tripled? Electricity bills in this country have risen faster than the overall rate of inflation for five years in a row. Winter is a really bad time for power bills. Millions of struggling families will set their thermostats very low this winter and yet will still be slammed with absolutely outrageous bills. Of course just about every type of insurance is going up faster than the overall rate of inflation. Have you gotten a price increase notice in the mail lately? I have. The price of health insurance in particular has soared in recent years. Health insurance premiums increased faster than the overall rate of inflation in 2011 and that is happening once again in 2012. All of these price increases are pushing many American families to the breaking point. But Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke insists that there is very little inflation right now, and he has government statistics to back his assertions up. Of course the way that the government calculates inflation has changed more than 20 times since 1978, but Bernanke never mentions that. According to John Williams of shadowstats.com, if inflation was measured exactly the same way that it was back in 1990, the official inflation rate would be about 5 percent right now. The American Institute for Economic Research says that inflation is even high than that. According to them, the real rate of inflation was about 8 percent last year. Meanwhile, household incomes are actually going down all over America. Even though we are supposedly in the midst of an economic recovery, median household income has declined for four years in a row. Overall, median household income has declined by more than $4000 over the past four years. Incomes are going down and prices just keep on rising. So how are families adjusting? Well, many of them are spending less. One survey found that 62 percent of all middle class Americans have had to reduce household spending over the past year. Others are going into increasing amounts of debt in an attempt to survive from month to month. So you might want to use your extra dollars right now. They are never going to be more valuable than they are today, and in the event of a major disaster they might lose value very, very rapidly. Unfortunately, millions of American families dont have any extra money at all. Many of them have been slowly worn down by this economy and are now just desperately trying to survive. The following is what one reader shared in a comment following one of my recent articles Dont think that it cant happen to you. What would you do if you suddenly lost your job and could not find another one? Would you be able to survive? Just because you are living a middle class lifestyle today does not mean that you will be in the same position a year from now. The truth is that everything in your life can change in a single day. The following is from a comment that one of my readers named Kimberly left recently The U.S. economy has never even come close to recovering from the last economic downturn. If you doubt this, just read this article. Now the next economic crisis is rapidly approaching us. If you think that the economic pain and suffering in this country are bad now, just wait. We havent seen anything yet. Things are going to get much, much worse. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse.

1	Hip-hop artist Marshall Mathers, a.k.a. Eminem, said he was left wholly terrified today after meeting his daughter Hailies new boyfriend Justin Denham, an 18-year-old who was reportedly raised on the rappers music. Saying he could barely fathom the thought of Hailie, 17, with a man who ever enjoyed listening to, or was inspired by, his often misogynistic and violent lyrics, Eminem, 40, claimed he was disturbed from the second Denham said he was a huge fan of all of the rappers seven albums. Justin said I was his favorite artist when he was growing up, and now he wants to go out with my little girl, said Eminem, telling reporters he didnt even want to imagine what Denhams views on relationships could possibly entail given his self-professed love of albums that include songs about mutilating women. Honestly, I dont really know what Im supposed to do here. How am I supposed to let Hailie go out with a guy who says I was a huge influence on him and all of his friends? I mean, this guys probably listened to my song Kim, Eminem continued. I rapped about cutting my wifes throat and then driving around with her in my trunk in that song. Jesus. Citing lyrics where he discussed raping a woman with an umbrella to make her pussy wider, the visibly shaken multi-platinum artist said he cant imagine sitting by while his oldest daughter spends time alone with a man whose worldview could have been even slightly influenced by any of his songs. Eminem added that while Hailie has repeatedly claimed Justin is a good guy who treats her well, he seriously doubts anyone who likes the song Kill You, where he brutally describes killing a woman and hiding her in a closet, could ever be a decent person. His favorite song is Supermana track where I said I was going to put anthrax on a girls tampon and slap her until she cant stand, said Eminem, adding he could only imagine the types of drugs and alcohol songs like Purple Pills and Crack A Bottle had led him to do. He better not think he can get away with all this stuff with Hailie. Or maybe he does. I mean, this is a guy who was listening to me rap about beating women ever since he was just a kid. And his parents let him listen to it? Eminem continued. What kind of house was that? I dont even want to think about what kind of people they are. Eminem went on to say he was even further dismayed when Denham said he also grew up listening to artists such as Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Ludacris, and told reporters he could only imagine the sorts of relationship lessons he pulled out of music like Bitches Aint Shit and Move Bitch. At this point, I suppose it would be ideal for Hailie to date someone who never listened to any one of my songs, ever, said Eminem. Why cant she find someone who listened to music that wasnt about having sex with prostitutes and then painting a room red with their blood? Jesus, Eminem added, I have to go find my daughter right now. 
1	Despite his advanced age, near-complete physical decay, and constant bouts of renal failure, area cat Socrates vehemently refuses to die, sources reported Tuesday. Socrates 'He's a sweet old guy, and he's been through a lot,' said Brian Pressman, 33, who received the cat as a birthday present during middle school. 'But no matter how weak he seems or how many times he's diagnosed with something fatal, he just keeps bouncing back. Every single time.' Added Pressman, with a sigh, 'He sure is a persistent one.' In the past week alone, Pressman has taken Socrates to visit the veterinarian three times, missing a half day of work on Monday to treat the stubborn cat for a nagging eye infection. Once there, however, the veterinarian discovered that Socrates had developed ulcers and would require special medication that will likely lengthen the 19-year-old feline's life for another unknown period of time. The seemingly indestructible Socrates is currently on five separate prescriptions at a monthly cost of $224. Modern medicine helps keep Socrates alive for God knows how much longer. 'We came to peace with the fact that Socrates might pass away when we found that tumor on his head last Christmas,' said wife Emily Pressman, 31, whose 2-year-old son David has thus far been unable to kill the cat despite his playful but relentless physical abuse. 'And then again in April when he fell off the table and hurt his leg. Frankly, I figured it would only be a matter of time after that, but he's still here. Still kicking.' 'We never could have imagined that he'd live this long,' she added. 'Not in a million years.' Socrates, who apparently rejects the very concept of mortality, sleeps an estimated 20 hours a day and hasn't had a solid bowel movement in more than a year, Pressman told reporters. Moreover, the cat requires a twice-daily subcutaneous saline and electrolyte injection to manage the severe kidney problems that began three years ago. The couple takes turns completing this humiliating, time-consuming task, and must also perform the animal's morning feeding ritualwhich requires a special food for older cats to be ground up and watered down so Socrates' feeble teeth and digestive tracts can better handle it. 'Just like clockwork, Socrates and I are up bright and early every morning at six when he starts howling and howling,' Emily Pressman said. 'Sometimes it's more like 5:30 if he's having one of his vomiting spells. Of course, that's assuming he hasn't woken us up already with those deep, mournful moans. But once I force-feed him his hyperthyroid pills and clean up the mess, he's usually pretty quiet for the rest of the day. I tend to forget he's even around.' Of all the occasions in the past few years when Socrates has somehow managed to escape death's cold embrace, none was more harrowing, the Pressmans said, than the summer of 2004, when a weak and anguished Socrates was rushed to the hospital with the deadly feline virus panleukopenia. 'He was in such pain that we were hoping and praying that Socrates would go to a better place,' Brian Pressman said. 'That was over five years ago. Luckily, the doctors figured out a treatment that only cost $2,700, and here we are today. Alive and well. Five years later. It's a miracle, all right.' 'I honestly don't know what I'd do without him,' Pressman added. 'Besides not have a cat anymore.'

2	Drunken Liberal PISSES On Wounded Vets American Flag [VIDEO] The University of Florida has come forward to apologize on behalf of a group of students who were caught on tape harassing a group of wounded veterans on an educational retreat to Panama City Beach. Linda Cope, the founder of the Warrior Beach Retreat, has also come forward to call the behavior of the group of students disgusting. Theyre a total disgrace for our military, Cope told reporters at WJHG. They were urinating on the American flag and throwing things off of the balconies. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do these students need to face some serious consequences? 
3	The Next US President Will Be.....the Fortune 500. Why no matter who you vote for, nothing will ever change. President George Bush, President Barack Obama, and presidential hopeful Mitt Romney all work for the exact same handful of corporate-financier interests. While they vary in how they dress up their methods of carrying out what is essentially a singular agenda, there is glaring continuity from one administration to the next in a process analogous to a corporate spokesman presenting the agenda of the board of directors. Changing spokesmen doesnt change the agenda of the board of directors. While the corporate media focuses on non-issues, and political pundits accentuate petty political rivalries between the left and the right, a look deeper into presidential cabinets and the authors of domestic and foreign policy reveals just how accurate this analogy is and who sits on the board of directors. George Bushs cabinet consisted of representatives from FedEx, Boeing, the Council on Foreign Relations, big-oils Belfer Center at Harvard, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), Circuit City, Verizon, Cerberus Capital Management, Goldman Sachs, and the RAND Corporation, among many others. Image: The Henry Jackson Society is just one of many Neo-Conservative think-tanks, featuring many of the same people and of course, the same corporate sponsors. Each think-tank puts on a different public face and focuses on different areas of specialty despite harboring the same experts and corporate sponsors. Image: A visual representation of some of the Brookings Institutions corporate sponsors. Brookings is by no means an exception, but rather represents the incestuous relationship between US foreign and domestic policy making and the Fortune 500 found in every major think-tank. Elected US representatives charged with legislative duties, merely rubber stamp the papers and policies drawn up in these think-tanks. Obamas cabinet likewise features representatives from JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, the Council on Foreign Relations, Fortune 500 representatives Covington Burling, Citigroup, Freddie Mac, and defense contractor Honeywell. Like Bushs cabinet, foreign policy is not penned by Obama sitting behind his desk in the Oval Office, but rather by the very same think-tanks that directed Bushs presidency including the Council on Foreign Relations, RAND Corporation, the Brookings Institution, the International Crisis Group, and the Chatham House. There are also a myriad of smaller groups consisting of many of the same members and corporate sponsors, but who specialize in certain areas of interest. Image: A visual representation of current US President Barack Obamas cabinets corporate-financier ties past and present. As can be plainly seen, many of the same corporate-financier interests represented in Obamas administration were also represented in Bushs administration. And with Mitt Romney, the likely Republican candidate running for president against Obama in 2012, we see already his foreign policy advisers, Michael Chertoff, Eliot Cohen, Paula Dobrainsky, Eric Edelman, and Robert Kagan, represent the exact same people and corporate-funded think-tanks devising strategy under both President Bush and President Obama. While Presidents Bush and Obama attempted to portray the Wests global military expansion as a series of spontaneous crises, in reality, since at least as early as 1991, the nations of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Somalia, and many others that previously fell under the Soviet Unions sphere of influence, were slated either for political destabilization and overthrow, or overt military intervention. While the public was fed various narratives explaining why Bush conducted two wars within the greater global War on Terror, and why Obama eagerly expanded these wars while starting new ones in Libya and now Syria, in reality we are seeing continuity of agenda, dictated by corporate-financier elite, rubber stamped by our elected representatives, and peddled to us by our leaders, who in reality are nothing more than spokesmen for the collective interests of the Fortune 500. Image: The International Crisis Groups corporate sponsors reveal a pattern of mega-multinationals intertwined with not only creating and directing US, and even European foreign policy, but in carrying it out. ICG trustee Kofi Annan is in Syria now carrying out a ploy to buy time for NATO-backed terrorists so they can be rearmed, reorganized, and redeployed against the Syrian government for another Western-backed attempt at regime change all done under the guise of promoting peace. No matter who you vote for in 2012 until we change the balance of power currently tipped in favor of the Fortune 500, fed daily by our money, time, energy, and attention, nothing will change but the rhetoric with which this singular agenda is sold to the public. Romney would continue exactly where Obama left off, just as Obama continued exactly where Bush left off. And even during the presidencies of Bill Clinton and Bush Sr., it was the same agenda meted out by the same corporate-financier interests that have been driving American, and increasingly Western destiny, since US Marine General Smedley Butler wrote War is a Racket in 1935. A clear pattern should be apparent. The influence of corporate-financiers transcends more than presidencies, but contaminates all aspects of modern society including what is often called non-governmental organizations or NGOs. Modern NGOs are entirely funded and centrally directed by Fortune 500 corporations to carry their neo-imperial agenda to the four corners of the globe under the guise of the very best of intentions. The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), for instance, portends to be supporting freedom around the world. A quick look at their board of directors reveals they are in fact drawn from big-oil, big-banking, and defense contracting boards of directors, Neo-Conservative warmongering think-tanks, corporate lobbyists, and US State Department functionaries, past and present. Image: A visual representation of the National Endowment for Democracys corporate-financier ties. It is not freedom they are interested in supporting around the world, but rather the interests of the corporations and institutions their board of directors represents. NED was central in funding, training, and directing mobs of protesters across the Arab World during the 2011 US-engineered Arab Spring, only to see US proxies put into power where these mobs successfully toppled governments or led to violence and foreign military intervention that successfully implemented regime change. Tunisia and Libya both have overt, long-time associates of the West now in power, while similar proxies are fighting to take power in Egypt as well as battling for control over Syria. It then becomes obvious that it is not freedom NED is supporting worldwide, but rather the corporate-financier hegemony of the Fortune 500. The solution is to identify and undermine the very source of power driving these world-spanning corporate-financier interests. One needs not travel further in search of this source of power than their own bathroom mirror. It is we the people, who on a daily basis, feed this monolithic corporate-financier machine of domination, exploitation, and destruction. And we need not do more than simply withdraw the time, money, energy, and attention we pay into this machine on a daily basis. We can begin by eliminating from our lives entirely the unnecessary amenities we purchase from this machine. This includes junk-food like that peddled by Pepsi Co., Coca-Cola, and the mega-chain restaurants, cafes, and fast food outlets spanning the world. We can then begin devising local alternatives to replace these amenities, and eventually the necessities. We need not live a life of austerity or of want in the wake of deciding to boycott entirely the Fortune 500. We can leverage education, technology, and ingenuity to devise alternatives that not only match, but exceed the quality and comfort provided to us by these mega-multinationals. While the system wants you to vote in their elections, you would be better served to instead vote with your wallet, time, energy, and attention. Dont be drawn into the establishments circular debates, distractions, and especially the charade of predetermined elections. Regardless of who wins, Obama or Romney, the Fortune 500 will have a professional spokesman to present their collective agenda to the public under the guise of democracy. America, and the West in general, is run by the Fortune 500, they are were your last president or prime minister, they will be your next president or prime minister. If this dissatisfies you boycott them and put them out of business. Tony Cartaluccis articles have appeared on many alternative media websites, including his own at Land Destroyer Report.

2	Pastor Refuses To Back Down To Politically Correct Preaching, And Then THIS Happened To him Germany used to be a place full of religious history, originally home of the Reformation. Now, Germany is a place where teaching the scripture can come with some hefty social consequences. Pastor Olaf Latzel of Germany knows firsthand what can come when you speak out just a little too boldly. And Christian teaching Bremen is actually being painted as being bigoted. Latzel has been attacked by the media for what he claims is preaching the Gospel in a clear way. I think it is my duty to do this preaching in this way for our Lord, he told reporters. Watch this video below and tell us what you think. Do you support Latzel? 
1	Hurley's Pub bartender Don O'Hagan once again refused to acknowledge Henry Wells' status as a regular patron, the disappointed customer reported Tuesday. 'I've been coming here for nearly two years, and I don't get so much as a nod of recognition when I sit down,' said Wells, who estimated he's ordered a Bushmills with a splash of water from O'Hagan nearly 500 times. 'I don't expect this place to be like Cheers, I just think that I deserve be treated like a human being, is all.' Wells said he seriously considered not leaving a tip on his next round. 
2	Initiation Of Armed Prohibited Persons Systems Begins In California According to recent reports, California has just launched the Armed Prohibited Persons system, a program that may be one of the most unconstitutional ones weve seen yet The program is designed to disarm dangerous felons and people with serious mental illnesses, but has since been modified to include anyone who has committed a felony, as well as anyone who as needed a psychiatrist or taken drugs. As if that werent enough, the legislation may also extend to anyone who has been involved in a domestic dispute and will put anyone who has been convicted of even a minor misdemeanor under review. The legislation has received obvious backlash from the conservative community. Should having a few rough years really strip you of your second amendment rights for life? Regardless of the backlash, weve seen the beginning of gun confiscation in California. Meanwhile, the state has also armed another 36 agents and 20,000 more officers to help to support the initiative. What do you think? Do we have to protect our second amendment rights before things get out of control? 
1	By all outward indications, Derek Nesbitt and his girlfriend of eight months, Shawna Morrero, never have sex, baffled roommate Max Wirsing reported Tuesday. Its pretty odd, frankly, that he and Shawna rarely hang out in his bedroom, and when they do, they never turn the music up loud, said Wirsing, pointing out that both he and his roommate have similar 9-to-5 work schedules, effectively ruling out the possibility that the couple has sex during the day. Whats more, my room is right next to his, and I havent once heard them go at it while Im trying to sleep. Bizarre. Wirsing later determined that Morrero and Nesbit could only be having sex during an 8-to-10-minute window on Monday and Thursday evenings, when Wirsing leaves the apartment to move his car to the opposite side of the street. 
3	The Potential Problems With Artificial IntelligenceBy Brian Berletic Human intelligence has allowed our species to diverge from evolutionary and natural environmental constraints, giving us mastery for better or worse over the planet and all other life upon it. We have done this through technology which includes the simplest forms of tool-making to the most complex machines we use to ply the seas, skies, and even outer space. Our natural, human intelligence has given rise to exponential technological progress; and, amid that progress, we have begun to create an artificial intelligence through computer science unconfined by natural evolution, biological limitations, and thus able to accelerate exponentially faster than our own intelligence has developed. An example of where AI is today is IBMs Watson computer. It was able to answer questions posed in natural language using four terabytes worth of content stored to memory and win a game of Jeopardy, an American TV quiz show. That might not sound like a big deal; but, essentially, it was posed a question, and was able to learn enough to answer it, which some could argue is the essence of intelligence. As systems surpass Watson and their ability to answer questions improves, it wont be long until the questions they are answering are questions we ourselves cannot answer. It will be at this point when AI will surpass human abilities and where real danger lies. But danger might lie even beforehand. An AI that is even marginally intelligent and useful, even if it is not on or above the same level as a human, can still benefit those who created it, giving them advantages over those who do not have access to it. There already is intelligent software being developed and deployed around the world by corporations to procure and leverage vast amounts of information that the average human being cannot. There are AI systems that play the stocks for investment companies, creating profits by subtly manipulating trading at a speed no human trader or investor could match. This gives rise to technologically enabled socioeconomic disparity that simply working harder or smarter just wont be able to even out. If these forms of AI are not opensource or accessible to at least a somewhat large population, the possibility of unwarranted power accumulating in the hands of those that do possess it increases greatly. There is also the increasing possibility of human beings directly augmenting their own intelligence with peripheral or integrated Artificial Intelligence. It may sound far-fetched, but remember that technology is expanding exponentially and that human-machine interfaces are increasingly showing up in tech headlines around the world. The famous US defense research imperative, DARPA, has already developed memory implants to expand human memory, while biomedical researchers have created implants that allow animals and people to control robotic appendages with only their brains. This means that not only is augmented/integrated intelligence and physical strength possible, it is inevitable. Human-human disparity means that, at a certain point when this technology is sufficiently matured, someone, or a group of people, somewhere, will exist with intelligence unmatched by unaltered human beings. They will become a technologically-conceived divergent species with capabilities we could no more match or even understand than a chimpanzee could when confronted with human intellect and technology. And because technology progresses exponentially, the speed at which an unfair advantage becomes an inconceivable and unbridgeable chasm will be so fast there will be nothing we could do to reverse this disparity once it manifests itself. But what about a machine itself that is capable of learning and eventually matches or exceeds human intelligence? Likewise, it will exhibit motivations, behaviors, and possess capabilities we not only could not match, but likely would be incapable of understanding. A machine with with an IQ of 500 or 1,000 versus humans who would not generally exceed 100-145 would be to us as we are to a single-celled organism. What would it do? How would it perceive us? Would it even notice or bother with us at all? Would the fact that we were able to create it, thus be capable of creating an equal to it that could pose a threat to it, warrant from its perspective the complete eradication of humanity? Could the likelihood of AI of this kind arising explain why, with our expanding knowledge of the galaxy, we have failed to find other intelligent species to communicate with? Could it be that the Fermi Paradox is solved by considering the possibility that when your intelligence exceeds natural constraints you are no longer interested (or even capable of) communicating with biological lifeforms? Or even interested in existing on the same plane of existence with them? These are all posed speculatively because we simply have no way of knowing. From what we understand of nature on Earth, there is an inherent need to dominate in order to control an organisms environment and ensure its own survival above that of all others. Whether such laws of nature are universal (meaning, beyond Earth if life exists elsewhere) is one question. Whether such laws could transcend biological life and into machines possessing superior artificial intelligence is another question. And even if it does transcend into artificial intelligence, how it manifests itself would still be unpredictable. Organisms with limited intelligence pursue self-preservation in a very selfish, short-sighted, and predictable manner. Under unnatural or adverse conditions, these instincts could even be counterproductive to self-preservation (overpopulation, depleting resources, etc). Human beings are capable of the former, but also of a latter more rational means of ensuring self-preservation. We can consider our inherent instincts and choose willfully to either avoid them when they become a detriment, or innovate to create the ideal conditions under which our inherent instincts would be conducive once again to our self-preservation. Would AI do something similar? Clearly, AI is not just another invention. It is the invention of a new form of existence, exceeding the fundamental intellectual parameters of those who have made it. Nothing like it has ever been done before by humanity and no suitable analogy exists with which to compare it. Once we create something superior to ourselves it would be irreversible. Our putting it into a cage would be as likely as a mouse putting a human in a cage. There would be no defense against it if it turned out unpredictable, and there is no way to predict what it will turn out to be. And at the same time, it is inevitable, because human curiosity and innovation will ensure that eventually, no matter what is done to try and prevent it, someone, somewhere will eventually create an artificial intelligence beyond our own. We can only hope that when the day comes, whatever we create will be uninterested in us and our plane of existence, and move on to something more fitting for its expanding abilities. We can also only hope that the process it takes going from as intelligent as humans to a superintelligence is one that happens quickly and minus the dystopian scenarios depicted by science fiction. As for AI within a comparable spectrum of human intelligence, we must make sure that it is not dominated by any one person or group of people. The temptation to abuse such power would be no different than existing forms of disparity already clearly being exploited and abused. Some may argue that isnt the case, but we argue because even as we endeavor to create a new form of intelligence, we still do not fully understand our own, nor the motivations and mechanisms that influence and utilize it. No matter what, the days when AI was a far-off topic of a science fiction future are over. With some experts predicting human-level AI appearing as early as 2029, and with AI already helping some amass power, wealth, and influence today, AI is now a topic of immediate concern that affects everyone. Remember. the military and PTB are 25-100 years ahead in technology. In 1995 DARPA released the internet to the public, yet held computing speeds then, which we only have use of now. Here is a look at how advanced AI technology is broken down into 9 chapters in the show notes. Bottom line is we are all now synthetic beings in Phase 1 mind control with beta testing in Phase 2 using randomly and not so randomly selected people to take over their minds and souls using AI technology, supercomputers, Geoengineering, HAARP and nano technology.truth be told. I dont think the problem is intelligence as it was defined in this article. The problem would be be the lack of morality. This is rubbish an mass, an machine cant be intellegent, reciting crapp(comon core) and stack it (webboting) based upon verbal sytaxes dont tell me jackshit, and this isnt intellegence, its just ordinary programming, but the bucket of transistores will allways do what its been told to do, period. Its vitually impossible with the present level of programing to make that bucket go Outside its core, witch is based upon human verbal syntaxes, says nothing about how this intellegence is derived, other than what I wrote above. I know the problem is stil fundamentall, and have something to do with how we think, and even there they are clueless, and I am not impressed. peace I seriously suggest you type in deep learning into YouTube and watch a few demonstrations and talks of what they are doing with them. The AIs use neural nets and are capable of learning. Your summary accurately describes the state of AI up until just very recently. Since when is has evolution been a dogma and not a theory? Somebody with an IQ of 130 has an unfair advantage over someone with am IQ of 70. Should he go for a lobotomy to even things out? Does this author happen to think that there is equality in this world? As one poster here states: its a matter of morals. Unless you sit at the table of a Fortune 500 corporation, youre going to be a victim of your own love of disparity. No someone shouldnt go for a lobotomy because they are smarter, but people who are less educated shouldnt try to become more educated? We shouldnt try to help out people who are at a disadvantage? Youd let a guy in a wheelchair struggle with a curb because its just natural things arent equal? It is a matter of morals try getting some. I used to experiment with AI as a computer programmer in the 1980s. The basic idea is to write programs that can modify the program based on future inputs. This self modifying program then has the ability to learn from these future inputs hence Artificial Intelligence. As the predictive SiFy writer Issiac Asimov stated robots must be programmed not to harm humans. However now DARPA is developing terminator type mechanical warriers whos basic purpose is to kill humans. Now, hopefully, these robots are properly programmed to recognized friend from foe and to not turn on their human leaders. However, the problem with AI software is that the programs are self modifying based on the mechanical sensory inputs and with microprocessors that work in the megacycle range the modifications can happen quite quickly. Herein lays the danger. Computers have no human type ethics or compassion and the original programs could rapidly change to where the terminator robots could concieveably turn on their masters. 
1	A run-of-the-mill medium-speed ground ball has been hit right up the middle in such textbook fashion that it is nearly impossible for anythinganything in the entire worldto go wrong before the shortstop can field it, ballpark sources report. The ground ball, which came off the upper barrel of the bat and instantly fell spinning to the turf, is being slowed by the evenly cut grass in a way that almost certainly ensures it will not take a bad hop, carom off a tuft of weeds, or spin off a clod of gravel when it crosses the base path, as it certainly must do before the shortstop can field it. 'Might as well not even watch this,' said the manager of the fielding team, turning his back on the action and walking into the dugout for a refreshing cup of water. 'That runner advancing to second will almost certainly get cut down in the double play that is about to happen, because that softly hit grounder is sure to land in the shortstop's glove with a solid, honest 'thwack.' I have no doubt about this whatsoever.' All available evidence suggests the manager's faith and confidence are well-placed. As the baseball rolled smoothly but not too rapidly through the grass, the shortstop took only one short lateral hopping stepthe sort of basic, everyday motion he was taught long before Little League and has executed with relaxed precision thousands of times until it has become an unconscious function of muscle memoryand then bent slightly at the knees to position himself perfectly in front of the advancing grounder. Due to the perfect form of the infielder and the almost archetypal nature of the situation, analysts and fans alike believe any sort of complication arising from the recovery of the ball is so unlikely as to be beyond consideration. 'I suppose the sun could get in the shortstop's eyes, or perhaps some dust, but really, that almost never happens,' said one fan, rising out of his seat. 'He's got this. Kids make this play. This is out three, automatic as it gets. I might as well start heading for the restroom now, since the inning is obviously just as good as over.' Although the mental state of the shortstop is difficult to discern, the likelihood of a sudden mental distraction is considered a low probability, as fielding ground balls is a large portion of the man's profession. While there is always the chance that the routine nature of the play itself may cause the shortstop's mind to drift somewhat, very little concentration will in fact be needed to field the rather ordinary ball. At press time, the infielder's eyes are clearly tracking the ever-so-slightly slowing ball, his glove held at the precise angle to field it perfectly, his other hand poised to cover the ball once it lands in the glove's webbing, his feet shoulder's-width apart, his weight held in tension by his slightly bent knees, his hips perpendicular to the ball, and there is nothing, not one single thing, that will prevent this utterly mundane ground ball from being fielded in the correct fashion. 
3	The lucrative future of CCTV: remote biometrics and behavioral suspect detectionMadison Ruppert, Contributor According to the Homeland Security Research Corp. (HSRC), this decade will see a fusion of several technologies including CCTV surveillance, so-called standoff biometrics (somewhat similar to the systems being developed by the military and the Department of Homeland Security) and human behavioral signatures or behavioral recognition systems. According to HSRC, this market could reach up to $3.2 billion by just 2016, although that figure includes the sales of systems, upgrades, and post-warranty services and repairs. These systems were created in order to break through some of the obstacles currently arising in the surveillance industry and the bottlenecks they experience in processing and responding to data. As of now, there is a lack of ability to respond to information from cameras in real time, but that is being changed through behavioral recognition and almost unbelievably fast facial recognition software. HSRC says that bringing all of these technologies together will bring opportunities for growth not just to the CCTV industry but also biometrics and IT systems manufacturers, security systems integrators and others in the field of Big Brother technology. In their report entitled CCTV Based Remote Biometric Behavioral Suspect Detection: Technologies Global Markets 2011-2016 HSRC lays out their case for the potential growth of the paranoid surveillance state in a whopping 161 pages featuring 104 figures and forecasts in 96 submarkets. Personally, I was not even aware of many of these submarkets, but given the rise of surveillance in the West, especially in the United States, it is hardly surprising that people would carve out a niche for themselves in order to get their share of the huge amount of American taxpayer dollars spent on useless gadgets. Other analysis and forecasting includes the end-user market like transportation security, border and perimeter security, critical infrastructure security, government funded projects and foreign markets including China, India, Saudi Arabia and the UK. Unfortunately, actually getting a copy of the entire PDF costs $4,450 for a single user, which is far beyond our resources here at End the Lie. This leaves us unable to conduct as thorough of an analysis and breakdown as wed like. That being said, it is clear that the surveillance industry is not going anywhere anytime soon, and as much as I would like this not to be the case, it seems almost inevitable with the paranoid culture we live in today.

2	Heres The Scandalous Picture Malia Sent To A Rapper That Has White House Panicking According to recent reports, the White House is currently investigating how a photo of Malia Obama made it to the Instagram page of a Brooklyn rap group. The controversial photo appears to be the 16-year-old first daughter wearing a white shirt with the logo of Pro Era written across it. According to rapper Joey Bada$$, the photo was obtained from a mutual friend between the group and Malia. Although the authenticity of the photo is still being verified, the White House is trying to find out how the image made its way to the internet. Of course, Michelle Obama cannot be happy about the leak, given that she has done everything she can to keep her daughters out of the media and off of social media. What do you think? Is it possible that Malia leaked the photo herself? 
3	Survival tips for the urbanite: Part 1 Nuclear RadiationRady Ananda In this vein, I finally started reading Mat Steins two survival books, When Technology Fails (2008) and When Disaster Strikes (2011). I also headed over to Jim Rawles Survival Blog and Mats website, whentechfails.com. Instead of a lone-wolf, Mad Max world which plays well on film, Stein reasonably argues that individual survival relies on a community of like-minded folks. So plan your survival migration or shelter with room for your core group. The essential wisdom from both books and most survival websites is to plan a strategically sound survival budget, taking into account the climate of where you expect to be after you hit the road. Few experts would call the US a failed or fragile state given to eco-migration, but most Americans already live in toxic zones, with our land, air and water being systematically poisoned by industry. New Orleans is only one of many areas suffering from hyper-industrialization and weather destruction. Locals call the corridor from here to Baton Rouge, Cancer Alley. Thanks to Corexit and the Macondo Blowout (among hundreds of other oil spills), Gulf seafood is unfit for human consumption, and anglers and beachcombers are suffering from a host of health issues including respiratory failure. Birds, turtles, dolphins, and other sea life are dying in mass numbers or are showing up deformed, while federal agencies insist all is well. My romantic notion of sticking my toes in the famous Mississippi after I got here was sullied by the strong industrial odor wafting from the river. It sickened both of us who walked the levy that day. All over the planet, giant multinational corporations are singly and jointly destroying the landbase for huge swaths of people, and New Orleans is no exception. Three major wars settled this area so that tens of thousands of oil wells could be built, right along with all the chemical and oil refineries, labs, agrochemical dumps, and the 25-year-oldWaterford nuclear plant, 20 miles outside the city. Because Fukushima radiated the Northern Hemisphere; because fracking releases rock-bound uranium that contaminates our local water table; and because Im in Cancer Alley just miles from Waterford, this first essay focuses on nuclear survival. Some nuclear survival tips are obvious. Dr John W. Gofman, a distinguished medical and nuclear scientist who worked on the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb estimated in 2001 that 75% of US women who develop breast cancer get it from medical radiation. Simply refuse such tests, including airport body scanners. When the US Supreme Court thwarted public will and handed Bush Florida, and thereby the presidency, we were led into 9/11 and nuclear war on the Middle East and Africa. Bob Koehler writes: Iraq Syndrome must include awareness of our toxic legacy, in particular the radioactive fallout resulting from exploding several thousand tons of depleted uranium munitions. Last year, the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health published a study of the devastated city of Fallujah, pointing out that, among much else, it is experiencing higher rates of cancer, leukemia and infant mortality than Hiroshima and Nagasaki did in 1945. And birth defects abound: Young women in Fallujah are terrified of having children, a group of British and Iraqi doctors reported. Industrial civilizations war on the environment is no less radioactive. The US hosts 25% of the worlds nuclear power plants, and even without incidents or accidents, they leak radiation into the local environment, as evidenced by the cancer clusters around nuke plants. Being in New Orleans, Im exposed daily to whatever is dumped in the Mississippi, including leaking radioactive particles from the several nuke plants that dot its length. Lest anyone believe health officials and nuclear energy proponents that the harm from Fukushima is minimal (and no longer poses a threat), all they need do is look at the Chernobyl casualties, where only one reactor was involved. Last year, researchers published their review of over 5,000 scientific articles and studies and concluded that a million people have succumbed to Chernobyl radiation. According to one source, the authors explain: Emissions from this one reactor exceeded a hundred-fold the radioactive contamination of the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. No citizen of any country can be assured that he or she can be protected from radioactive contamination. One nuclear reactor can pollute half the globe. Chernobyl fallout covers the entire Northern Hemisphere. Fukushima lost four reactors, with three in complete meltdown, but pro-nuke officials from the World Health Organization on down promise through lying teeth that this poses little to no threat to our health or the environment. As Chernobyl showed, in 30 years, we can expect many Northern Hemisphere survivors to sport tumors and other cancers resulting from radiation-damaged DNA. We can only pray for the unborn, from those healthy enough to reproduce. Expectedly, US officials also lied about the Three Mile Island nuclear disaster, while cancer rates jumped for those nearby. Richard Wilcox wrote an excellent article on all this that is well worth the read: Independent testing in Japan has revealed that fallout from the accident and ongoing accumulation has contaminated food supplies in the Northeast and Tokyo. From plutonium-laden fish, the most toxic substance known in the universe, to radioactive cesium in California tuna, Wilcox itemizes the destruction of our food supply. Radioactive fallout, of course, contaminates grazelands, meaning our milk and dairy products absorbed it, too. All of us have cause, right now, to ensure our water and food is clean and radiation-free. All of us have sound reason to become survivalists. Food and Water Disaster migrants and the homeless can both learn from prepper wisdom, since many of the same principles apply. Urban migration survival requires mental clarity and agility; you gotta think on your feet most of the time, despite being emotionally and physically exhausted, and perhaps even injured. You can expect the government to completely fail at providing social services, as we saw with Katrina, where authorities blocked food, water and boat rescue. Right now, Louisiana illegally withholds food stamps for the homeless, which by federal law must be provided within four days of applying for it. Instead, I was told by Ms. Melvisson that Louisiana wont give me food for a minimum of 17 days from the day I applied. The website is wrong, she says, when it promises food in four days. She also told me they outsource the magnetic cards to Texas. I have to presume the state doesnt want the work despite an 8.5% unemployment rate, which really means about 20% or more, especially in New Orleans proper with all its wandering musicians, artists and street performers. My own urban survival manual cant publicize some survival tricks that are quintessentially my divine right, but which may be considered illegal. Dr. John Glass, a sociology professor at Collin College outside Dallas, teaches experiential homelessness. He had this to say about urban poverty: I toured the urban slum, and I could see how if I had to raise my kids in this setting I would steal. I would do whatever I had to do to survive. I never had that experience before. Food market grazing is one survival method. Watertight, bug-proof containers are a must, with a good supply of mixed nuts and dried fruits, or any healthy foods that dont require refrigeration. Ive become a big fan of big bags of carrots. Another tip is to procure unfluoridated water that has been carbon filtered and run through reverse osmosis. At 30 cents a gallon from the local food co-op, I drink much less of this than I should, but at least Im getting some good water. My 3-gallon storage bottle is BPA-free, but not my 16-oz bottles. Maybe someone will donate so I can rectify that (though Id prefer a job). Preppers urge you to procure 5-gallon and larger water containers, but at 8 pounds a gallon, many women cant physically haul that much water a long distance. And, if youre on the move, haul weight is a survival factor that must be considered. Stein covers surviving a nuclear disaster in both books, but dedicates an entire chapter in When Disaster Strikes. The last section of the book dedicates a chapter to each of several specific disasters like tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, blizzards, and electromagnetic pulses. (In my next essay, Id like to focus on EMPs, natural or otherwise.) Radiation isnt released into the environment only via nukes. In an earlier piece, I reported that geologist Tracy Bankfound that fracking mobilizes rock-bound uranium, posing a further radiation risk to our groundwater. Because of some 65 hazardous chemicals used in fracking operations, former industry insider, James Northrup, calls it a dirty bomb. With 30 years of experience as an independent oil and gas producer, he explains: The volume of fluid in a hydrofrack can exceed three million gallons, or almost 24 million pounds of fluid, about the same weight as 7,500 automobiles. The fracking fluid contains chemicals that would be illegal to use in warfare under the rules of the Geneva Convention. This all adds up to a massive explosion of a dirty bomb underground. The book also provides drawings for foragers not only for edible plants, but medicinal ones, too, and recommends specific foraging books for your survival library. Hank Shaw, author of Hunt, Gather, Cook, agrees with Stein in recommending Samuel Thayer for his color photographs of plants. Thayer has written two foraging books: Natures Garden and The Foragers Harvest. Shaws top 3 (out of 11) recommendations all come from Euell Gibbons: Once you have access to a steady food and water supply, be sure its safe. Dr. Perlingieri suggests adding 2 tablespoons of raw apple cider vinegar to each gallon of water. Not only does this provide flavor, but it also aids in digestion. She also lists several immune-boosting foods, as long as they are not radioactive. See also Melissa Pattersons Supplements Shown to Help Prevent Effects of Radiation Fall-Out, andProtocols for Nuclear Contamination Master List. Hawaii organic growers suggest washing your fruits and vegetables in bentonite clay, and using Boron to capture radioactivity on our soils, gardens, orchards, etc. It also can be safely ingested by humans and animals. Boron will accept radiation and ionize it within our bodies, after which our bodies will safely [excrete] the boron and radioactivity. (Borax is also good at killing roaches, which are ubiquitous in the urban setting.) Hygiene No matter the cause of your sudden homelessness, the need for good hygiene closely follows the need for clean food and water. Steins books list the items needed in your First Aid kit, and provide an expanded version for long emergencies when you may not be able to return to your home. For urban migrant survival, friends recommend Street Smarts, though not published at a big house. Id like to read it, and see how much of what I do is mentioned. Like hygiene get it while you can when the facilities are clean, be extra careful when theyre not. In the summer, use fast drying shirts that you can easily wash and wear. In a hot climate, youll need a sweat rag for your face, one that you wash as often as feasible, because face- and clothes-washing is now a luxury dependent on the generosity of others. Youll also have to plan your wash for when you can hang things to dry. I use a 22 rag that I thoroughly wet and roll up, for draping around my neck. Its length allows me to also swab my face as needed. If injured, hygiene becomes the priority. I stepped in one of New Orleans foot-deep potholes and donated 5 square inches of skin to the city. I couldnt soap it until the library opened 12 hours later. The trick to no infection was the warm soapy scrub three times a day, though I also scored some prescription skin salve. The skin has already regenerated, while the bruised ankle is still healing. Prudence requires everyone to know the exits and have the knowledge and tools to get there. Preppers, at the minimum, are prudent. Once a month, urges Mat Stein, you and your family should read, study and discuss a single chapter on survival preparedness. Its also prudent not to jump in with your wallet wide open. Simple, inexpensive purchases can be made now, but long-term economical purchasing takes planning. Id do a hell of a lot better if I had raw milk, but Louisiana criminalized it, blocking me from its probiotic benefits. Big Pharma and Big Dairy sure get their share, simply by criminalizing the competition. Road Income Citing an uptick in survival sales, selfnews Post opened 2012 with its recommended articles on the topic. One suggests becoming economically independent of the system by monetizing your blog, becoming a picker (old junk, new street corner), or growing or making your own and selling it to local co-ops and other markets. AP itself came up with simple steps to be taken this year that include building economic independence, promising that, prosperity awaits for those who can properly analyze the landscape and seek new opportunities and alliances. Charge $10 an hour and a dollar a mile to be a taxi, if you must, and your shocks are good. The Submerged Roads project is ongoing seven years post-Katrina. Itll never end, though, because paving over swampland that endures an annual hurricane season ensures pothole proliferation. During recent flooding, a car drove thru 6 of water until the road collapsed, taking out his axle. One related tip is not to drive on flood-damaged roads, and another is to keep your spare car key in your wallet. The homeless, more than any other group, employs the axiom, reuse, recycle, restore, and if your body odor isnt too strong, you might even be able to resell some of the stuff. Study, Train and Practice Stein hammers at conventional survival wisdom: Read, study, train and practice. Whats between your ears, he says, is more important than your gear. We need to be as proficient at providing sustenance as the tribes whove lived sustainably for tens of thousands of years. Fat chance you can do that in the city, but there might be some gems in wildman Steve Brills Identifying and Harvesting Edible and Medicinal Plants in Wild and Not So Wild Places, which Stein recommends. A list of edible and medicinal urban plants can be found here. And heres a recipe for pigweed, which is proliferating in the south now that the plant developed resistance to Monsantos RoundUp. I wanna try it. I like how Stein organized When Disaster Strikes, in three concise sections, but prefer the older book, When Technology Fails, for a number of reasons. For one, its 100 pages longer. The book is also bigger (11.58 vs 96). Because its bigger, so are the pictures. If I ever have to have actually construct my own shelter, Ill be pulling out WTF instead of WDS. Climate and peak oil skeptics might choke on Steins reasons for disaster preparation, and anyone who knows anything about HAARP or weather modification wont find any reference to government-directed natural disasters. Regardless, Stein provides well-organized, detailed information on what a new prepper needs to know and do to survive catastrophe. My task for August is to identify and procure edible weeds. Id also like to try the solar water filtration gizmo, if I can find a clear plastic bottle that is BPA-free.

1	Cautioning that the initiative was being instituted on a trial basis only, Forrest Logistics CEO Wayne Gartner announced Thursday that the company had recently begun experimenting with valuing its employees. For the next three months, well be treating our workers as skilled professionals we appreciate having on our staff instead of as disposable laborers whose morale could not matter less to us, said Gartner, telling reporters that during this provisional period, management would be assessing the long-term viability of constructively addressing employee concerns and creating an overall positive work environment. This is completely new to us, obviously, but thats why were just testing it out. If need be, we can go back to essentially telling our workers that theyre lucky we hired them in the first place. At press time, the initiative had been canceled after estimates revealed it would cost the company upwards of $2,500 annually. 
1	An angry and visibly intoxicated Dalai Lama was arrested early this morning after assaulting a photographer outside the newly revamped Studio 54 discotheque in Manhattan. The Dalai Lama was arrested on assault and battery charges after punching and kicking a <I>New York Post</I> photographer outside Studio 54. Shouted the enraged Buddhist: 'You want to eat camera, picture boy?' Charged with assault and battery, the Buddhist leader, whose real name is Gejong Tenzin Gyatso, was released on $1,500 bail. The incident marked his third brush with the law in as many weeks. According to witnesses, the Precious Sovereign, 61, who had been drinking heavily all evening, punched and kicked New York Post photographer Mike Pallas several times after Pallas attempted to take his picture exiting the famed disco. 'As soon as he saw that camera, he just went off,' said bouncer Todd Gehr, who was guarding the exit at the time. 'I grabbed him by his saffron prayer robe and pulled him off [Pallas]. He tried chanting for a minute, but then more flashbulbs started popping, and he completely lost it again.' Witnesses say that instead of backing down, Pallas made the mistake of ridiculing the central belief of Lamaist Buddhismnamely that, through reincarnation, the same soul has occupied the bodies of 14 successive rulers. 'That did it,' Studio 54 patron Larry Hoffman said. According to Hoffman, the Dalai Lama then yanked Pallas' camera away and wielded it threateningly at him, shouting, 'You like picture? You want to eat camera, picture boy?' The Dalai Lama spent seven hours in a Queens, NY, jail cell before being released on $1,500 bail. Signs of trouble came hours earlier, when the 14th religious and temporal ruler of Tibet shouted repeated requests for 'Bush! I want to hear plenty more Bush!' When the club DJ responded by playing KC and the Sunshine Band's 'Shake Your Booty,' the monk threw a shotglass through the control booth and invited the DJ to 'step outside and kiss the five fingers of enlightenment.' In addition to the charges against him, the Dalai Lama was cited for resisting arrest. At first, he refused to give his real name, claiming to be 'the protector, the emanation and the presence on earth of Chen-re-zi,' the Buddhist personification of divine compassion. 'And if you not believe,' he added, 'you let me out of these cuffs and you get one-way ticket to Nirvana plenty quick.' When asked where he was born, he responded, 'In 1936 in Chhija Nangso, Tibet... and also in 1876 in Lhasa, Tibet... and also in Nai-tung, Tibet' before being gagged and taken away. Two weeks ago, the Tibetan leader was arrested for driving while intoxicated, though his lawyer maintained his client's high spirits were due solely to a 'very satisfying night of meditation.' Last Friday, he was stopped in his 1994 Lexus by a New Jersey state trooper for 'making gestures to a police official that had no connection with the Noble Eightfold Path.' Both times he was released on bail.

1	Despite their in-depth, seven-minute discussion on the pros and cons of hedge funds, neither Matthew Talbert, 27, nor Louis Dahlkemper, 29, has the slightest idea what the highly exclusive, unregulated private investment pools actually are. 'Yup, hedge funds, that's where the real money is,' said Dahlkemper, who is not only ignorant of financial concepts such as APR financing and the leave-a-penny, take-a-penny tray, but will also never come remotely close to achieving the minimum $1 million net worth required to invest in a hedge fund. 'What with the interest rates so high, the whole housing bubble, and 401ks the way they are, you can't go wrong with one of those.' Talbert, who has accumulated nearly $30,000 in credit card debt, agreed with Dahlkemper, saying that he would most likely get a hedge fund 'after [his] next paycheck matures.' 
3	Corporations vs. EntrepreneurshipBy James Hall An independent businessperson is a much different breed from the corporate ladder climber. Consider the 7 Reasons to Ditch the Corporate World for a Career at a Startup. If you have never been part of a small business and your only experience is with a corporatist organization, some of the above aspects may seem foreign if not outright dangerous. In order to help define the difference between the two mindsets, Jun Loayza founder of Future Delivery provides the following assessment in Corporate World vs Entrepreneurial Life. The corporate world is calling with nice cars, fancy lunches, and guaranteed paychecks if youre willing to put your dream company on hold and sit in a low-walled prison five days a week. If youre torn between stable income and the wish fulfillment of a bold new venture, listen up to someone whos had the pleasure and pain of living in both worlds. Work/Life balance vs Lifestyle Steady Income vs No Money Good Enough vs Better than All the Rest These headings compare the vast differences in thinking, temperament, objectives and goals. Start-up attempts usually begin with an idea for a product or service that is not currently available. Formulating a business plan and identifying a method to monetize a return is often overlooked, when the visionary is engaged with the excitement that a successful rollout could generate. A small business owner of a more established sector operation is more concerned with surviving competition, maintaining margins, expanding market share and gaining access to capital for growth and expenses. This difference from the dreamer turned practical, separates the emphasis both apply. So the similarities between the merchant and the innovative entrepreneur have far more in common than the style used by Corporate America Is Killing Your Start-up Dreams. The Inc. publication presents aspects of the corporate culture and how it works. Note the vast difference in the business model employed by corporations from the entrepreneur. While they preach company loyalty, corporatists actually exercise a pattern of expediency. Corporate America Creates a False Sense of Security The corporate climb is slow and at each rung youre reminded that there is so much still to do before reaching the next level Knowledge is power Mitigating risk is key You only live once Corporatism 101 presents background on the difference between corporatism and corporations. However, the blunt distinction in both prove to be light years different from an economy driven by creative and pioneering projects that advance, grow and create actual new wealth. Corporate mores seldom exhibit a passion to improve the economic well being of consumers, but frequently tap the consumerism of the customer to keep the engine of materialism as the life blood of business. Add to this aspect the financial sector of the corporate economy and the lack of any real competition is vividly demonstrated. There is little room for start-up financial ventures, when the source of capital access is mainly reserved to the largest of corporate companies. It is because of this reason that most plans fail. Money is a necessary ingredient to float a start-up. Finding an angel financier to raise the needed venture capital is usually reserved to seasoned business people. Nonetheless, for those brave souls who strike out on their own, the risks are substantial. What happens if you flop? Going back to a previous life may not be an option. Why Corporations Wont Hire An Entrepreneur defines the issue well. Corporations have become factories of mental models created over decades of controlling how and what people think through the influence of power and money. The attitudes have created cultures of we are in control and we pay you to follow the rules we make. These mental models were designed to build organizations where compliance and productivity of human labor determined profitability. Subsequently organizations were built around a hierarchy of control similar to the military where the strategy was to beat the enemy. This mental model is dependent on compliance. Compliance through control of resources via influence of power and money has proven to be limiting and costly. Basically, the dilemma is that forced compliance works better than free association in the trenches of economic dominance. The essential notion of a free market is an illusion. In the real world of goods and services the big box store, energy supplier, food processor and financial services are the realm of protective trade secrets. While it might be easy to analyze how a large retailer operates, it may not be as transparent on how that business maintains its dominance over their own market share. The entrepreneur is constantly fighting to get into the game. Carving out a small niche that flies under the corporate radar screen is the best chance to refine and expand a start-up. America was built by daring entrepreneurs long before the corporate system. Original article archived here James Hall is a reformed, former political operative.

Contact batr@batr.org Ive been making a living in the corporate world all my time (40+years) andThere is really no sense of camaraderie just folks that are forced to work together. Corporations take away the entrepreneurial spirit that made the U.S. successful. They perpetuate the ivy leagues silver spoon. they allow the beast to extort its fees. They want 40 hours or more per week what fascist bastard thought that up the French revolution was over less. Outlaw corporations and the U.S. would return to its roots as the most innovative country in the world. I used to patronize a small independently owned tool rental business. One day the owner admitted to me ruefully that he had spent most of his life working for a large corporation and that he regretted not getting out sooner. Not long after that I went there and the door was locked during business hours, and I learned from the neighboring business that the tool rental owner was dead of a heart attack. Take that as a warning dont let your life clock tick away doing something you hate, only to die wishing youd done something else. 
3	Americas Most Expensive Aircraft Carrier Doesnt Work ProperlyBy Joshua Krause According to a Defense Department memo that was obtained by Bloomberg, the ships arresting gear, which is designed to catch landing aircraft, cant be used more than 25 times without failing. The launching system cant be used more than 400 times without needing maintenance. Weapon elevators cant lift munitions, and the radar is problematic. If the USS Gerald R. Ford were deployed to combat, it would quickly live up to its namesake (i.e. it would put itself in danger on a regular basis.) So how much did this wonderful ship cost? So far its up to $12.9 billion, which is $2.9 billion over budget. Thats in addition to $4.7 billion spent on research and development. Once the ship is finally completed, whenever that may be, the US Navy plans to build two more. And once again, the military-industrial complex reaps billions of tax dollars, and delivers utter crap. Image Credit: Anthony Freda 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. Wasnt President Ford a dud too? If they were going to spend that much money on something that didnt work they should have named it after a black guy. The problem with the USA is they dont build anything anymore, thats right take a look at how much off shoring of jobs left the USA and where it is made now mostly in China.And China is putting out close to 10,000 engineers a year along with 1500 PHDs.Russias education system is three times advanced as US colleges and look at how advance both China and Russia are in military tech compared to the US and for a fraction of the cost and now that Russia and China are going to combine there military tech with each other there wont be a country on the planet that can come close to there advancement in military hardware. Both China and Russia have a missile that can go out in space and take out all of US military satellites in space. What would all that hardware be able to do if it can receive instruction.Useless! Do we have any more steel mills in America that provide the steel for our ships or are we using Chinese or other counties to provide it.There was a time in America when our manufacturing was tops in the world,but then we started closing steel mills, now they are after coal,and recycling is how we are to save America? Name the forrestal and no one will say a thing. Russia did the same when it kicked out the Bolsheviks who killed the Czar and family, screwed up the Soviet Union, and slaughtered millions and sent more to the Gulags. It took the Russian Christian leaders over 60 years, but they did it, and guess where the Bolshevik families went to? They were welcomed with open arms by the Rockefeller brothers. In appreciation of that gesture, the Bolsheviks murdered 2 of the brothers, and then set up their Think Tanks. Using the US as a base, they are now intent on dining on the fatted calf (USA), and destroying the planet (their Samson option). Think Fukushima was a natural disaster? Think 9/11 was a Saudi job? Think Aceh tsunami was a natural disaster? Think MH370 was pilot error? Think MH17 was a Russian shoot down? Think Hillary is a Democrat? I could go in and on Well, with your insightful/accurate/well thought out comment, I no longer need to feel so completely alone any longer. Who writes the contracts where we receive crap, but pay full price anyway? Perhaps they should change its name. It seems to be acting just like the president who couldnt walk and chew gum at the same time! 
3	The Thing About BubblesBy Jeff Fitchett In the 1600s, the Dutch experienced what is now called tulip mania. People flocked into buying tulip bulbs. The masses bid up the price of tulip bulbs to prices that were in some cases 10 times the income of a craftsman or worth more than acreage of property. The history of the South Sea Company is another example of an extreme bubble that occurred in the 1700s. England was deep in debt and had devised a plan to convert debt into equity of a newly created trading company: The South Sea Company. The idea was to create a company that would conduct trade in South America and use the profits to pay a dividend of 6% to shareholders. There was no reasonable prospect that trade would occur, but the company expanded rapidly and the share price moved significantly higher as a herd of people scrambled to buy shares. The bubble eventually popped and fortunes were lost. In the 1800s, Britain had passed hundreds of Parliamentary Acts to build railways. The masses bought the shares of railway companies and as the price moved higher so too did the number of people buying shares. Over a third of promised railway lines were never built and the bubble popped. In the late 1990s, the Internet was becoming much more accessible to the greater population. Financial pundits and tech gurus described the tech sector as the new economy. Investors swarmed into any stock that was considered technology related. Initial public offerings were hitting the markets at an unsustainable rate. The valuations of companies, that had no revenue, skyrocketed. Eventually panic occurred and stock prices collapsed as investors sold off worthless shares of soon-to-be bankrupt companies. The biggest bubble in human history is building right now. The first signs of this bubble occurred in the US mortgage market and it temporarily wrought havoc on the global economy in 2007 through into 2009. Instead of allowing the bubble to pop; central banks, cheered on by politicians and the media, printed money to keep the bubble from popping. In essence, the powers that be kicked the proverbial can down the road and have allowed the good times to continue for a bit longer. The bubble will pop and a depression will negatively impact our civilization. The thing about bubbles is that the general population moves in concert, embraces fiction and literally buys into an unsustainable set of circumstances. The psychology of people is very fascinating. Insanity can be defined as repeating the same action over and over and expecting a different outcome. Its interesting to note how people are corralled into joining the hype. In the early to mid 2000s there were many TV shows about flipping houses. All of a sudden, everyone was wanting to buy rental properties and fixer-uppers to flip. Mortgage standards declined in most countries and people who should not have qualified for getting a mortgage were granted access to mortgages. As you know, when the mortgage bubble popped; home prices collapsed in many countries. Today, if you can fog a mirror, you can be approved for car loans, credit cards and lines of credit. We are bombarded with commercials from lenders that state: No Credit Check, No Income Verification Contact Us For An Instant Loan. Globally, governments are taking the lead and going further into debt. Western culture has become a buy now and worry about the consequences later society. The most concerning aspect of this bubble is that our entire way of life is based on debt. After all, fiat currency is created through the issuance of debt. We have robbed the future in an effort to enjoy the present. When the good times end the piper will need to be paid. The unfortunate part for us is that it is impossible to pay back the mountain of debt that has been accumulated. Every country is dealing with too much debt within a system that has been corrupted to its core. We are about to be crushed under the weight of debt defaults and debt monetization. It doesnt matter if we experience extreme deflation or inflation. The effect on the average person will feel the exact same. Either way we will struggle to provide the basic necessities of life. Few people will be able to profit and succeed in a world that is mired in depression and adversity. The luxuries we enjoy today will seem like a pipe dream from a bygone era as life continues to grind down into the abyss of history.

A gift economy = all for FREE to all 7 billion people = no corruption possible = a man can not buy a man for a salary = working out of passion = creating sharing gifts instead profit = abundance to people I have actually been thinking something similar of late.

It seems that even though I believe the gift economy is a great idea switching to it will be devastating. Starting something that promises death and destruction is not my idea of the path to utopia.

1	By examining web-traffic data for left-leaning DailyKos.com, researchers have predicted that the mass suicide of 14 political bloggers will likely be discovered sometime in mid-December. 'After months of doing nothing but sit alone in our rooms at our computers, trying to get our message to the people, we lost the election anyway,' read the still-unread suicide pact posted Nov. 3. 'We'd rather be dead than live in a country as fucked up as this one.' The bodies will most likely be found by property managers, long-estranged parents, or neighbors returning copies of Joe Trippi's The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. 
1	Most educators view multiple-choice exams as an opportunity to couch the correct answer amidst three or four other plausible alternatives. Not so for Uniontown High School teacher Tom Campbell. Campbell, 47, who has taught freshman history at the school for the past 11 years, uses the popular test format not only to instruct but also to delight his students with his quirky sense of humor. 'What was the Great Awakening?' a question from one of Campbell's most recent tests reads. '(a) Coffee and a bagel, (b) The name given to FDR's evening radio addresses, (c) 'C'mon, Mom! Let me sleep five more minutes!' or (d) A dramatic religious revival in Anglo-American history.' Mr. Campbell's students quietly rule out the uproarious option (b): Porky Pig. 'The answer is D,' said Campbell, holding back a wry smile. 'Giving them the option of 'Coffee and a bagel.' Get it?' It's hard to imagine, but this life-of-the-classroom didn't always write his exams in such an amusing fashion. Campbell says that it wasn't until 2001the year he turned 40that he began to feel stifled by the standard, school-sanctioned exams and decided his tests would go in a more unorthodox direction. 'I'll never forget that first joke answer,' Campbell said. 'The question was 'Reconstruction can best be described as,' and I decided to make one of the choicesI think it was C'What will never happen to the school's broken-down auditorium.' All day long I was nervous the kids would think it was inappropriate, but when I heard a few giggles in the back of the classroom, I knew I had a gift for this kind of thing.' With humorous answers such as these, one might naturally assume that Mr. Campbell is also witty in his daily interactions with others, that he is perhaps considered to be a real jokester in his non-test-giving life. But according to his friends, fellow teachers, and members of his weekend choir group, that couldn't be further from the truth. 'Tom's a quiet guy,' Uniontown algebra teacher Gale Halfhill says. 'He keeps to himself mostly. He sometimes talks to the other teachers in the teacher's lounge, but I don't remember him ever saying anything comedic.' Campbell readily admits that his quiet demeanor and extreme shyness have changed little since he was a child. That timidity, however, is momentarily abandoned when Campbell sits down at night to write his multiple-choice examsa process Campbell describes as freeing, and the only time in his life he has felt the self-confidence to allow his true personality to shine through. 'You definitely have to take my tests to understand my sense of humor,' said Campbell, who, during his time as an educator, figures he has made more than 5,000 jokes, all of which were part of his exams. 'About four years ago, I made the mistake of telling one of the other teachers I used 'Billy Crystal' as an answer choice. He didn't quite get it, I think mainly because people just don't realize I can be a pretty wild and crazy guy, so to speak.' 'To even consider Billy Crystal as one of the men who rode with Paul Revere is really, really funny,' Campbell continued. 'See, he wasn't even born until the 20th century, so unless he can time-travel, it's utterly impossible for him to have even met Paul Revere, much less accompanied him on his epic ride.' According to Campbell, 'The kids in my class have come to expect not only to learn, but to laugh.' Another test answer that Campbell wrote is equally outrageous: Between what years did the Civil War take place? (a) 1861-1865, (b) 1862-1867, (c) 1863-1868, or (d) Put your pencils down and sing 'Happy Birthday' to Jimmy. 'There's nothing wrong with having a little fun sometimes,' Campbell said. But just because his tests usually consist of approximately 45 joke answers, that doesn't mean it takes Campbell less time to write the exams. Quite the contrary. Campbell explains that he can spend anywhere between two to five hours writing, rewriting, and punching-up his teststaking care to relate every joke answer in some way to the question. It's a sacrifice the seasoned educator says he is willing to make. 'I could easily just relax and give an exam with eight to 10 essay questions,' Campbell said. 'But I think that would be doing a disservice to my students.' Added Campbell: 'Also, with a multiple-choice test I get to make more jokes.' Thus far, it's clear his students appreciate the effort. 'Everyone loves Mr. Campbell's class,' says 14-year-old Tara Stern, who has consistently received high marks in history this year despite her calling herself 'not much of a studier.' 'His silly answers make it a lot easier to figure out the right ones.' 
3	Trade treaties, mega-corporations, and worldwide socialismBy Jon Rappoport The ever-emerging popular image of socialism: a humane government colossus controls the means of production for the benefit of the people; and share-the-wealth at all levels of society comes alive. This is political theory for children in a condition of arrested developmentfor example, college students and Hollywood actors who long for lunch at the White House. (The Underground, Jon Rappoport) I use the loaded word socialism in the headline, because its important to understand that Globalism is a form of socialism. That may not sit well with some people, because they believe in the socialism team and they think that team is against Globalism. Nothing could be further from the truth. Its about time they woke up. Globalism was born out of the triumphs of cutthroat capitalists like Rockefeller, and out of the triumphs of international bankers like Rothschild and Warburg. These men made a decision quite natural for them: By hook and by crook Ive acquired my fortune; now I want a monopoly; I want to cut out the competition; I want empire; therefore, I have to control governments; I want to make governments more powerful, so by controlling them I control society. What better way to make governments more powerful than by forming a long-term (criminal) collaboration with mega-corporations, including major banks? Governments plus giant corporations. Does that equal socialism? You can quibble and say the corporations are really in charge and therefore this arrangement isnt socialism. Call it oligarchy. Call it runaway capitalism or the corporate state. The collaboration among governments, mega-corporations, and bankers is the triangle. Its the engine of control. It grossly limits freedom. It claims, through propaganda, that its government wing is for the people. Thats utter nonsense, of course. Todays socialists believe government is the answer to the control of society by big money and big greed. Thats a delusion. The governments are on the side of big money. Socialists also like to say that governments are weak sisters in the pocket of the corporations, and therefore the governments must become stronger. Another dangerous fantasy. The last time I looked at America, for example, the government had an extensive military, a dizzying number of spying agencies, and a gigantic Justice Department that could make arrests and put criminals on trial. If thats weak, whats strong? Who are the major money men of Wall Street the US government has thrown in prison? Who are the mega-corporate thugs the government has sent away for life terms? The government is firmly in bed with the corporations. Committed. Purposefully. All the trade treatiesGATT, NAFTA, CAFTA, the TPP, etc.are basically instruments of the government-corporate collaboration. They strengthen the corporations and they strengthen the de facto global management system, which is government on a far larger scale. Securing monopoly requires controlling governments and making those governments more and more repressive, in order to put populations under control. It makes perfect sense, if youre a billionaire/ trillionaire sociopath. When I say Globalists controlling governments, Im talking about a partnership, and if one partner, equipped with armies, spies, and prosecutors, surrenders to the other partner, thats a form of extreme cowardice. Just one example: the current Globalist TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) negotiation is secret, as are the details of the treaty. But any legislator in any of the 12 member nations could step out of the shadows and communicate everything he knows about whats in the treatyif he wanted to. In the US, a senator might, at the extreme, spend a night in jail for violating Executive Branch regulations on classified data. He would also spark a much needed Constitutional crisis, and he would become a popular hero. But no; so far, no US Senator or Congressman has dared to spill all the beans. Voluntary surrender of power. Of course, when government surrenders its powers long enough (since roughly 1913 in the US), and when Globalists/Socialists are brought into one key government position after another, up to and including the Presidency, the corruption runs very, very deep. Does this sound like a benign State that wants to do everything it can to help the people? Does this sound like heraldic Socialism determined to build a peaceful and fair society? Right now, President Obama is running around in a panic, trying to put together enough Congressional votes to pass the TPP. Does that sound like a man who wants to rescue the American people from the mega-corporations? The so-called classic definition of socialism: government controls the means of production. Just change that a bit: government, in criminal collaboration with mega-corporations, controls the means of production. Split hairs if you want to; but its a distinction without a difference. George Bush the Elder (Globalist), who briefly served as the director of the CIA and a director of the Council on Foreign Relations (Rockefeller/Globalist powerhouse), ran for a second term in the White House against neophyte Bill Clinton (Globalist). Under ordinary circumstances, there was no way Bush could have lost. But it was Globalist vs. Globalist. A distinction without a difference. There are still hope-and-change people out there who wonder how their man, Obama, could be supporting Monsanto. They havent gotten the memo yet. Obama is a Globalist. Monsanto is a mega-corporation. GMO crops? Roundup? The health dangers of GMOs and pesticides? Irrelevant. None Dare Call It Conspiracy by Gary Allen, 1971: most of us believe socialism is what the socialists want us to believe it isa share-the wealth program Here in the reality of socialism you have a tiny oligarchial clique at the top, usually numbering no more than three percent of the total population, controlling the total wealth, total production and the very lives of the other ninety-seven percent. If one understands that socialism is not a share-the-wealth program, but is in reality a method to consolidate and control the wealth, then the seeming paradox of super-rich men promoting socialism becomes no paradox at all. Instead it becomes the logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs. In America, untold numbers of young college students are being conscripted into the illusion of government-as-savior. Matriculating on the basis of government student loans, having to go deep into debt to pay back those loans, these young people are already wards of the State. For them, the only question is: how can they minimize the interest on the loans? Otherwise, they see government and its support of politically correct behavior and speech as conditioning mechanisms leading to a better world. This is Pathetic Mind Control 101. As part of this political correctness, the students are taught to rail against big corporations, never realizing their adored Mommy-Daddy Government is an active partner in crime with the corporations. Reform government. Make government better. Make government more responsive to the people. This is like hoping to stage a conciliatory dialogue with a T-Rex in Jurassic Park. Socialismthe nightmare it representsis the premier vehicle for those super-rich men who have limitless political goals that add up to population control.

We tend to believe its the corporations in charge of the governments, and although this is true, corporations are owned by people and the wealthiest people on the planet own the majority of the most powerful corporations. Some have tried to figure out the web of ownership and power these people exert through global corporations. Its difficult to do since the super wealthy are able to hide what they own. It may be true that gains are privatized and losses are socialized, but it is a new form of fascism were seeing. Traditional socialism was able to provide some benefits to regular working folks and the poor. These things are systematically being taken away. If you look at the increased military actions and the installation of brutal police states, this is indicative of what the overlords think is around the corner. Corporations should go the way of the dinosaurthis whole thing about connection is absurd. the gold collar criminals want to control the wealth so they do not have to work. A bunch of soft handed bozos. All corrupt systems of governance are in reality a method to consolidate and control the wealth and remain so as long as real democratic institutions like a free press; broad, diverse education; unrigged voting machines; independent judiciary; anticorruption authority etc are in place and healthy. Governments plus giant corporations does not equal socialism. It is called fascism. Just like the National Socialists, Nazi for short Being an adult means you no longer need to be governed. Grow up. Anarchy means no rulers, not no government or governance. When people grow up they realise provision has to be made for the halt, the lame and the weak in all civilised societies worth the name. Perhaps you have a better solution than the one which has made the West so enviable to the rest of the world (doubtless faulted, frail and all too human) democratic socialism, such as is practiced in all advanced nations beyond feudal dictatorship level. 
2	Patriotic Bikers Come Together To Do Something Unprecedented For Donald Trump Liberals were shocked when Donald Trump became our nations President-elect. Rather than respecting the fact that our country is a democracy and Americans throughout the country had used their vote to elect our next leader, they took to the streets in protest to demand their candidate be President. Now, two million American bikers have been cruising through the country to keep protesters away from Trump. They will be working to keep rioters far away from the inaugurationa day that is meant to celebrate the next President and transition the responsibility of Commander in Chief. This is not good news for liberals who were planning to turn this day into chaos. It sounds like they are better off staying home and whining from the comfort of their living rooms. These bikers are surely nothing to mess withespecially in numbers that could comfortably fill a small city. What do you think? Do you admire these bikers for taking a stand to make sure our president gets the respect he deserves? 
3	Oregons Youngest Medical Cannabis Patient Is Now Cancer FreeArjun Walia The anti-tumor effects of cannabinoids and THC have been demonstrated for quite some time now. In the 1980s, cannabinoid receptors were discovered in the human brain, which made it obvious that our body has to synthesize something that binds to these receptors. Our bodies produce these compounds in our own endocannabinoid system, which is now known to be responsible for a number of biological functions. This is why the plant has such a wide therapeutic potential for multiple diseases, including cancer. Numerous studies have demonstrated time and time again the anti-tumor effects of cannabis. Studies have shown that cannabis completely kills cancer cells, and it has a great impact on rebuilding the immune system. Cannabis has the potential to replace a multitude of pharmaceutical drugs, and it remains a mystery as to why human trials are not underway. If youre looking for these studies, Ive put multiple links within the article for you to further your research. In the United States, there are only two approved treatments for cancer: radiation and chemotherapy. Scientists have discovered that chemotherapy fuels cancer growth and kills the patient more quickly, yet nothing has been changed. Both are extremely toxic to the human body. Thanks to a growing awareness with regards to cannabis, and its high rate of success with individuals choosing to use it as a cancer treatment, more people are starting to realize the healing power of this plant. Coupled with all of the success stories, are hundreds of scientific studies that prove cannabis kills cancer, its really becoming a no-brainer. Brave Mykalahad T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, its a very rare and aggressive form of childhood leukaemia. It accounts for 15-18% of childhood leukaemia cases. Her DNA was altered in some way, and it caused her bone marrow to start producing leukaemia white blood cells. She fell ill in May of 2012, and in July of 2012 doctors discovered a basketball-sized mass of lymphoblasts in her chest. Her mass was so large that she was not able to be sedated for risk of death from the pressure on her esophagus and heart. Click on her name above to visit her website, click HEREto visit herFacebook page to stay up to date with everything thats going on with her. So far, cannabis has helpedtremendously. For more CE articles on Cannabis and Cancer, click HERE. We also covered a story of a teenage girl that used cannabis to treat her leukaemia, doctors in Toronto published the case study. Click HEREto read more about that. Here is a summary of her treatment via her website (highlighted above): This protocol is used to treat low risk leukemia patients (Mykayla is technically intermediate risk). It is a 3-5 chemotherapy drug and steroid combination that is done in 5 rounds lasting 2.5-3 years. The first 4 rounds are very intense and last for 6-8 months. The last round is called maintenance, it is done mainly from home and is far less damaging then the first 4 rounds. Mykayla will begin maintenance chemotherapy in February of 2013. Mykayla began chemotherapy on July 16th 2012 (she began steroid treatment on July 14th 2012). Mykaylas Lymphoblast level was monitored daily for the first 8 days and weekly or twice weekly thereafter. Her lymphoblast level would go down after receiving chemotherapy but a few days after it would be back up and sometimes higher than before chemotherapy. The doctors were concerned. They spoke to us about the possibility of Mykayla having a bone marrow transplant due to the leukemia not going into remission with the chemotherapy. 95% of children with leukemia go into remission during the first 30 days of chemotherapy the majority of them go into remission just a few days after receiving chemotherapy for the first time. The oncologist did recommend cranial radiation in Mykaylas case as she is intermediate risk, t-cell phenotype, and had a very small amount of leukemia cells in her brain and spinal fluid. Using cranial radiation to treat leukemia is a topic that is already controversial between the different cancer research groups our family felt 100% confident in denying cranial radiation for Mykayla as she is in remission (it was for prophylactic/preventative reasons that it was recommended) and she has natural treatment methods that protect her from cancer and relapse. Once again we as parents feel that the balance between natural medicine and conventional medicine has been lost. We had a plan from the very beginning to combat Mykaylas cancer and chemotherapy naturally and that was to use cannabis in the form of very concentrated and potent oil, raw cannabis juice, and cannabis cooked into food. Cannabis has been known to kill cancer, protect the body from the damage of chemotherapy, relieve pain and nausea, and it is a neuroprotectant and antioxidant. In order to use this form of treatment Mykayla had to get a recommendation from another physician and a state medical marijuana license. This took us 10 days to complete Mykayla began cannabis therapy on July 24th 2012! Instantly she was able to eat again. That was the first benefit that we noticed. She was happier, she smiled and laughed constantly. We loved it! One week after we began the oil treatment Mykaylas physicians notified us that her leukemia had vanished from her bone marrow and blood! She was in remission. Never again will I fear cancer We found the answer! Mykayla is currently 6 months into the intense treatment part and has never used any pain relievers (not even Tylenol) and has only had to take anti-nausea medication a few times. There are other aspects of our lives that play a role in Mykaylas treatment. Diet is medicine. Cancer thrives in an acidic environment and is fed by sugar. We try our best to create a diet for Mykayla that is healthy, vegetarian (vegan if she will tolerate), organic, with no artificial additives, preservatives, or dyes. We also give her tons of alkali water. Although from time to time Mykayla just like any other kid slips on her diet she is NEVER allowed things such as soda pops and high fructose corn syrup. Supplements work wonders. Some important supplements that we have found helpful in the fight against cancer and chemotherapy are. Vitamin C, Green Tea extract, Milk Thistle, Beta Carotene, coconut oil, vitamin D, essiac tea, COQ10, selenium, omega 3, garlic, cannabis, and tons of fruits and vegetables. Positivity. Having a positive attitude and providing your child with a happy, bright, and loving home provides a better outside environment to fight cancer in. I believe strongly that the love and happiness that our family values dearly has to do with the success that we have seen Mykayla have while battling leukemia. Lymphoblasts are immature cells which typically differentiate to form mature lymphocytes. Normally lymphoblasts are found in the bone marrow only, but in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), lymphoblasts proliferate uncontrollably and are found in large numbers in the peripheral blood smear. July 30th 2012 was THE VERY LAST TIME THEY HAVE FOUND LYMPHOBLASTS IN MYKAYLAS BLOOD SMEAR!!!! The very next time we saw the oncologist they told us Mykayla was in remission. Some may say that cannabis does not cure cancer I am not saying the steroids and chemo didnt help but this right here shows something proof enough for me! Some say cannabis is inappropriate for children We say cancer is inappropriate for children. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=pubmedCmd=Retrievelist_uids=897352dopt=abstractplus Cannabinoids induce incomplete maturation of cultured human leukemia cells(full 1987) Gamma-irradiation enhances apoptosis induced by cannabidiol, a non-psychotropic cannabinoid, in cultured HL-60 myeloblastic leukemia cells.

3	Exposing The Global Elite with Bill Vander ZalmPress For Truth 
3	Flu Vaccines From Dogs?By Catherine J. Frompovich Bloomberg Businessweek and Bruce Einhorn produced a most interesting article on that topic which readers can access here. Einhorn points out vaccines havent been that profitable for many in the Big Pharma clan. I wonder why. Heres what he has to say about some of their downsizing: Theres an opening in the $5 billion market for seasonal flu vaccines, of which the U.S. consumes a third. Novartis sold its money-losing vaccine division to CSL for $275 million in 2014. Sanofi and Merck dissolved their flu vaccine joint venture in March. In June the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said AstraZenecas FluMist hadnt been a strong preventive measure for three years. (AstraZeneca has said its working with the CDC to resolve the matter.) Of the $5 billion flu vaccine market, the United States consumes one-third! If the current CDCs proposed rulemaking ever goes into effect [3], which would mean everyone would have to be vaccinated to the point of even carting someone off a plane, bus or street for being presumed exposed to a communicable disease, then the U.S. easily may consume 50 to 75 percentthereby guaranteeing Big Pharma has a profitable flu vaccine season every year. However, what kind of adverse reactions could there be from flu vaccines grown on dog kidney cells? What kind of mycoplasma could be in that dog kidney flu vaccine? Its interesting that Novartis sold its money-losing vaccine division to CSL, the innovative Australian vaccine maker who wants to introduce the dog kidney flu vaccine. Sanofi and Merck dissolved their flu vaccine joint venture in March! How about them apples! What does that tell you? For me, it says that flu vaccines are a dud in more ways than one, so its better to get out than subsidize a waning market product line. And who ever would have thought that the CDC would acknowledge AstraZenecas FluMist hadnt been a strong preventive measure for three years. With all the problems with flu vaccines, especially as reported by HRSA for Petitions Filed, Compensated and Dismissed, by Alleged Vaccine, Since the Beginning of VICP, 10/01/1988 through 10/03/2016 [1] Influenza vaccines had the following statistics: One of the most serious flu vaccine adverse reactions is Guillain-Barre syndrome, a paralyzing disorder in which the immune system attacks the nerves [4]. If readers arent aware, there are important issues you need to know before rolling up your or your childs sleeve to get a flu shot, or any vaccine: Some people should make sure its OK to get vaccinated. Ask your doctor first if: [2] The nasal spray vaccine contains weakened strains of live viruses. These people shouldnt take it: [2] Personally, I was taught that pregnant women should never take any vaccines or medications during pregnancy, not even an aspirin. Boy, have times changed! The Think Twice Global Vaccine Institute has this important information on Influenza (Flu) and Adverse Reaction Reports that you just may want to know about. The best way to prevent contracting the flu is to build up your immune system and eat a very healthful, fresh food, non-GMO diet.

Greg Palast single-handedly called out the 2000 Year Election Fraud. Took his unpublished articles, too hot for Americas censorship, and got an English media to publish the and his book. Not only did the State of Florida fraudulently put George Bush Jr. on the ticket, and so-called independent federal Elections Agency confirmed all of the election fraud found and reported on by Greg Palast!!! Thats why another fraudulent US Supreme Court decision was involved days after Florida failed to count its ballots. When the fix is in the fix is in. Not only would Hillary Clinton have lost California, she would have lost the presidential race, if the Fix wasnt working full time to save her. The Secretary of State of California (SOS), Alex Padilla, would not have mounted a fraud of this size without the full support of the Democrats and leading party officials, including Governor Jerry Brown. This is a monumental fraud on the people of California and the American people. That Bernie Saunders would endorse Hillary Clinton knowing he won California shows how deep the fix is in. The Clinton Crime Family has the goods on all the dirty politicians, and theyre all dirty. Trump is ignoring this What didnt I get. I asked questions, he replied. Answer: Greg Palasts insight and experience exposing the same corruption 16 years ago. You interviewed Palast as though he was a journalist taking on the California Secretary of State in this 2016 matter without recognizing or appreciating that Greg Palast has been here before and has extensive knowledge about election fraud and how it all works. Jeff, you did a wonderful job zoning in on this when mainstream media has ignored it. Because of you, I saw an effort made 5 hours later by Gov. Brown to cover some of this mess and pretend that about 25% of the uncounted votes were now counted. I gave Palast his due credit right at the start of the interview. I cant say I am 100% an expert on his bio thats why I asked him questions. Keep in mind I am a 1-person crew with pebbles of resources compared to what someone like Palast has to work with. The hanging chad nonsense. The system is rigged. 
2	Veteran Told To Remove American Flag Because Its UnTony Cumberworth, a 73-year-old veteran, was shocked when the homeowners association told him that he would be fined $50 a day for flying the American flag in his front yard. Its been there 20 years and nobody has ever said a word, Cumberworth told reporters at The Blaze. He was given four days to remove Old Glory. First it was ridiculous. Then I got insulted. I fought for this country. My son fought for this country. I do not understand them trying to take away my rights. After he received the order, Cumberworth researched the provisions of the HOA agreement, and found nothing indicating that he was breaking any rules by flying the flag. He quickly brought the issue into the limelight through the media. Shortly after the story went public, he received a letter from the HOA. Please disregard the code violation notice, the message read. It was sent to your home in error. We truly thank you for your service in Vietnam and your American flag can stay in your yard as long as you desire. What do you think of the incident? Was Cumberworth justified in standing up for his rights as an American patriot? 
2	Zoe Saldana Risks Her Entire Career To Defend Trump Against Hollywood, He Won Because We Got______ Liberal Hollywood celebrities have proven that they are completely delusional about this entire election process. Despite abundant evidence and an impending inauguration, they still cant seem to accept that Donald Trump will be our next president. In the past few weeks, famous actors like Meryl Streep and George Clooney have used their fame and time in the spotlight to publicly smear Trump. Of course, this only ends up alienating them from their fan bases. Now, level-headed actress Zoe Saldana has just offered an apology to Trump for Hollywoods behavior. We got cocky and became arrogant and we also became bullies, Saldana explained. We were trying to single out a man for all these things he was doing wrongand that created empathy in a big group of people in America that felt bad for him and that are believing in his promises. Saldana then shared just how this election has opened her eyes. Im learning from [Trumps victory] with a lot of humility, she added. Fellow actor Mark Wahlberg echoed Saldanas sentiments, saying, A lot of celebrities did, do, and shouldnt [talk about politics]. A lot of Hollywood is living in a bubble. You know, it just goes to show you that people arent listening to that anyway. They might buy your CD or watch your movie, but you dont put food on their table. You dont pay their bills. 
2	This Child Rapist Thought Jail Would Be Safe, But Karma Found Him Even Behind Prison Bars There seems to be no punishment great enough for those people who hurt children. Especially, those who hurt children in the most perverse and cruelest of ways, such as this guy. While there has yet to be a documented case of the death penalty being given to a person convicted of molestation, some think that a mere 25+ year prison sentence simply doesnt serve justice for the heinous crime committed. Prison time doesnt end well for these type of offendors. Recent reports say that a man who recently was jailed for some absolutely terrible crimes involving children was rape 20 times by inmates. After given stitches, the prisoners tore them open and raped him again. Do you think that he had it coming? Or do you feel bad for the man? Obviously, he is a terrible person, but some people seem to think that such a brutal rape is undeserved. What do you think? 
1	Shortly after 8 a.m. Tuesday, Landon Matthew Crowley, a 7-pound, 14-ounce baby boy and the future warlord who will rule over the charred remnants of what was once the state of Nebraska, was welcomed into the world at Omaha's Methodist Hospital, sources reported. Born to Jack and Monica Crowley of Bellevue, NE, the child is reported to be healthy and happy and unaware that he'll one day violently subdue dozens of warring, radiation-scarred factions under a brutal regime of torture and forced fealty the likes of which the Gamma Quadrant wasteland has never seen. According to Mr. Crowley, both mother and future mass-murdering tyrant are now resting at home and 'doing great.' 'I can't believe he's finally here, my beautiful baby boy,' said the boy's elated mother who, in 12 years' time, will be ruthlessly gunned down before her son's eyes by Prism Syndicate mech-infantry fighting in the gruesome Mineral Wars that will leave the former United States utterly demolished. 'I'm so happy.' 'He's my little miracle,' she added, holding the sleeping infant who will be imprisoned by Syndicate authorities as an agitator and undergo horrific neural and musculoskeletal experimentation, leaving him mechanically enhanced but still pained by the all-too-human memories of loss that will forever haunt him. According to the proud parents, their baby was born with a thick head of dark hair and 'sure is hungry for a tiny fellow.' The small child also will live to witness civil society collapse into murderous chaos over access to scarce sources of uncontaminated food and water, and will emerge from the bloody mayhem a feared and pitiless warrior-god. Additionally, the child is said to have his mother's eyes. 'We had a couple names in mind, but when we saw him we just knew he was Landonit just seems to fit,' said the father of the boy who will one day be known to all soldiers in the anti-Syndicate rebellion simply as The Overseer, a man as renowned for his innate power of mind and body as for his singular lack of pity. 'Now we finally feel like a real family.' 'It took a little while because the little guy just didn't want to come outhe's two weeks overdue,' added Mr. Crowley, oblivious that his child will slaughter thousands to impose his rule over the lawless hordes of Quadrant Gamma, Quadrant Epsilon, and the inhumanly barbarous Sioux City metro area. 'I guess he must be a little shy.' To celebrate the birth, the Crowley family hosted a gathering Saturday for friends and loved ones, most of whose scorched corpses will litter the area in two decades' time, eventually being processed into much-needed nutrients and carbon fuel by forces loyal to the child. Attendees were reportedly treated to cigars and a baby blue cake bearing Landon's name. 'Aw, what a handsome little man,' said grandmother Elaine Wojcik, cooing at the baby who, in 2038, will cement his sole supremacy over the gathered masses by gutting his most bitter rival while standing atop the fire-blackened hull of the Mutual of Omaha Building, screaming loudly and draping himself in entrails. 'He's such a cutie.' 'And just look at those itty-bitty toesies,' added Wojcik, who will mercifully be incinerated alive by the collapsing U.S. government's Population Control Brigades in just 10 years and never have to see the unfeeling monster her grandchild will become. 'They're just so cute you want to eat them right up.' Friends and family reportedly congratulated the happy couple on a beautiful, healthy first-born child, and took turns holding the infant who, despite his authority over nearly one-twentieth of North America, will secretly wish he had died alongside his parents so as to be spared the bleak and hyper-violent future that follows. The Crowleys expressed profound gratitude for their son, calling the soon-to-be despot of the war-blackened hellscape 'the greatest gift we've ever received.' 'He's our little angel,' said his mother, whose corpse the warlord will disinter and fruitlessly attempt to reanimate with cybernetic technology in a desperate effort to reconnect with his youth, revealing the only shred of humanity left in his otherwise cold and pitiless heart. 'We're just so blessed to have him.' 'Boy, he sure is fussy, though!' she added. 'But that's probably just a phase.' 
1	selfnewsSportsNetwork.com cedes space to guest blogger and pedophile Terry Parker to explain why the recent uniform changes at the Radbourne Academy are an insult to pedophiles everywhere: You may have heard the recent furor over the changes to the Radbourne Academy's Lady Wildcats uniforms. The fact that their sharp, crisp polo shirts have been replaced with loose t-shirt type jerseys. The switch from pleated skirts to bland, unflattering plain ones. The unforgivable elimination of argyle knee-high socks. Is this one change the end of a pedophile's world? I will admit that the answer is no. We will still be watching from behind chain-link fences, from the front seats of our station wagons, rubbing our penises through our sweatpants. The focus is and always should be on the girls and we understand that better than anyone. What must be said is that this is merely part of the problem, a systemic and ongoing exclusion of pedophiles from high school girls field hockey that, if left unchecked, could mean the end of this great and titillating sport. Fact: more and more practices are being held inside indoor sports bubbles. Were you aware of this? Holding practices indoors means less places for pedophiles to lurk, more security to get by, a higher percentage of snoopy parents looking over their shoulder and taking down license plate numbers. This is a hostile change targeted at the pedophile community. Fact: the season is being played later and later in the year, no longer starting in those warm, sweaty, sultry Indian summers of August and September. Instead they are being played out in frigid November and December, where bulky sweatshirts and flabby thermal shirts prevail. Thank god for form-fitting spandex Under Armor is all I will say about that. Did you know that pedophiles contribute over 75% of high school girls field hockey budgets? It's true. This long-struggling sport would be kidnapped, strangled and left dead in a ditch if it were not for the tireless efforts of pedophiles, donating dollar after dollar to their cause instead of buying things for their wife or still-too-young children. So please. Speak up. Pedophiles alone cannot change the tide of pedophile-unfriendly behavior at girl's field hockey and girl's diving and co-ed wrestling and boys fencing. Call up your school board and demand change, or else call, breathe heavily into the phone and emit a high-pitched cackle. Together we can make a difference. Together, we are all pedophiles. 
1	In an effort to improve quality and refreshment levels, the Environmental Protection Agency announced Tuesday that municipalities around the country will begin adding a combined 500 million squirts of fresh lemon to the U.S. water supply. Starting this week, water utility workers will infuse the nations drinking supply with enough lemon to ensure that the 30 billion gallons of water that citizens use daily has a crisp, invigorating taste, said EPA administrator Gina McCarthy, detailing a plan to add a bit of zest to the countrys potable water reserves by spritzing the juice contained in hundreds of millions of individual lemon wedges into reservoirs, wells, and freshwater lakes throughout all 50 states. We believe the hint of citrus will both taste great and leave citizens hands smelling nice and lemony whenever they wash them. For decades, Americans have been forced to make do with the bland, flavorless water coming out of their faucets, and we believe this latest effort will really liven things up. According to sources, the EPA hopes its new plan will be met more favorably than its decision last year to supplement the water supply with 350 million tons of whey protein powder to bulk up the nations muscle mass. 
2	BREAKING: Voters Turned Away From Republican Polls Because... This is absolutely outrageous. According to recent reports, voters in Apopka, Florida claimed they were turned away on Tuesday morning because their polling locations ran out of Republican ballots. The two major polling places are located at Errol Estate and World of Life Church. Long lines were visible from each location. Residents told reporters at News 6 that more ballots were retrieved about an hour after the shortage was reported, but many voters had to leave because of other commitments and ultimately missed out on their chance to vote. To top it off, some residents reported waiting up to two hours to vote at the church because of delays. This comes at the same time that technical issues were affecting several Orange County polling locations. Officials were forced to use backup paper registries to enroll voters in the Florida presidential primary, elections officials report. Orange County Supervisor of Elections Bill Cowles commented that technicians were sent to the locations to fix the issue, which was ultimately described as a connectivity problem. The problem reportedly caused delays, but no voters were turned away. What do you think of these reports? Should the vote be recast?

Are people really that naive? maybe should ask Santa Claus his opinion. The issue not being discussed which should be is that these networks were being Paid Big Bucks to disseminate, broadcast and publish fake news as well as eliminate real news. The money has been coming from the USUAL CORPORATE SUSPECTS, as advertisers, as well as directly from the White House and foreign governments!!! If I am correct Assad has a Ban against the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria.. Who are worse? The creators of lies, the propagators of lies, or the believers of lies which regurgitate the lies.

1	Across the nation, toys and other merchandise produced for the 20th-anniversary rerelease of E.T. are being foisted upon uninterested children. 'This is the alien spaceship, but it doesn't even have any guns or anything,' said Robbie Guyton, 6, attempting to make sense of toys bought for him by his mother, who fell in love with the heartwarming Steven Spielberg classic two decades ago as a 10-year-old girl. 'The E.T. monster is ever weirder: It's, like, all naked and shriveled, and it doesn't have any battle armor. It's not scary at all.' Guyton tried to figure out how to activate the death laser on the E.T. doll's finger, but was unable. 
2	What The Obamas Did On Valentines Day Will Make You Sick To Your Stomach... Its not surprising to hear that the Obama family spent their Valentines Day vacationing across the country. This seems to be their modus operandi these days. Unfortunately, the cost of these trips, nearing $2.3 million, became the burden of the American taxpayer. And that is in a single weekend. According to reports, the president spent Valentines Day at a private golf course in Palm Springs. Taking the long weekend off from presidency, Obama managed to play three rounds of golf. The trip followed political events Thursday night in San Francisco. Obama wished Michelle a happy Valentines Day during a weekly television address. They did not spent the holiday together, of course, because the First Lady and her daughters were too busy enjoying a lavish skiing trip in Aspen for the weekend. The Obamas attempted to keep this trip quiet to the public, but their cover was blown when a car accident shut down the road. Michelles ego got in the way, and she asked to be allowed to pass the accident while fellow Americans sat in traffic. What do you think? Are you sick of the Obamas acting like royalty and spending our tax dollars on vacations? 
2	Leaked Docs Show Ads Offering $15Hr Plus Travel To Fight Trump Supporters In the past few weeks, we have seen as escalation in the aggression toward Trump. It seems that his protesters are growing increasingly more nervous, and as a result, they are also getting more and more violent. Now, one Craigslist user captured two ads that offered to pay travel, room, board, clothing and $15.00 an hour to disrupt Trump rallies. The ad reads as follows: To Whom It May Concern: We will pay $15.00 an hour plus travel (including room and board), clothing, flags, signs etc. for individuals willing to disrupt Trump rallies throughout the U.S. If interested please leave your name and contact number. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous? Its ludicrous that these are the same people insisting that Trump is the angry, hateful one. These people are literally paying to limit freedom of speech. 
1	After months of attempting to indoctrinate his friend with the militant ideology of Islamic fundamentalism, local man Khalid Sayed, an Islamic extremist actively working to create a worldwide community of Muslim believers through violence and terrorism, said he has decided to give up radicalizing his dim-witted friend Omar Alibek. Calling the American-born Alibek pretty dense and slow on the uptake, Sayed told reporters that instructing the 27-year-old in the goals of global jihad and providing philosophical justification for carrying out terrorist attacks against innocent civilians in the West is pretty much a lost cause at this point. Ive tried over and over to convince Omar that Islam provides the one and only solution to all problems in this world and that the only way to establish a truly Muslim state is through religious oppression and acts of terror, but it just goes in one ear and out the other, said the frustrated extremist, noting that Alibek hasnt retained a single tenet of Sharia law in over six months of attempted radicalization. I gave him a Quran to memorize and he said hed definitely read it, but every time I ask him a question about infidels or apostates, he just kind of nods his head like he doesnt know what to say. Either he never cracked it open in the first place, or he didnt understand a word. I think hes just a big dumb idiot, Sayed continued. According to Sayed, he began trying to radicalize his friend six months ago after meeting the sales assistant through mutual friends and observing that he was quiet and impressionabletwo qualities he looks for in potential recruits. The fact that Alibek was also a little bit dumb was an even better sign, Sayed said, because he would be less likely to question his teachings and find logical fallacies in his arguments for killing large numbers of people in the name of Allah. Alibek, however, reportedly proved more of a challenge than Sayed had anticipated. In addition to forgetting key steps in praying toward Mecca, showing up late to scheduled meet-ups at a local Mosque, and spacing out during anti-American chants, Alibek completely misinterpreted propagandist messages and had to have basic terrorist tactics explained to him multiple times. According to Sayed, he could have radicalized 10 people in the time it took to teach Alibek one reason Americans deserve to die. I thought it would take three, maybe four weeks to turn him around and get him completely isolated from friends and family, cut him off from everything that once made him happy, have his thoughts consumed with hatred for America, and eventually get him to participate in plots to terrorize innocent civilians, said a visibly frustrated Sayed, noting that Alibek had continued hanging out with his buddies, playing video games, and going to movies throughout his radicalization. Sometimes Ill ask him, Omar, do you want to be a holy warrior? and hell look at me with this vacant expression and say, Uh-huh, but I can tell he doesnt know what Im talking about. I mean, I like Omar. Hes a good guy, and I generally like hanging out with him, Sayed continued, but hes a moron. At press time, Sayed had zeroed in on another individual, a lost, highly impressionable 19-year-old boy with no moral center and a broken family who the extremist said would be absolutely perfect. 
3	Do we have a medical Edward Snowden?Jon Rappoport As I get ready to post this article, I have a reply to a request I made to Florida Congressman Bill Posey. I asked for a statement regarding the growing charge that the CDC is covering up an autism-vaccine connection. Here is what Congressman Posey has to say on this subject: Congressman stonewalled. He asked the CDC for data and the CDC refused. Refusal = something to hide. Why else would the CDC ignore Poseys request? What right does the CDC have to conceal data about vaccines and autism? In my previous article today, I highlighted a secret CDC whistleblower, who has anonymously asserted that the CDC intentionally covered up the vaccine-autism connection for a decade. In the last few hours, Ive discovered a few facts about him. He is a research scientist. Surprisingly, he still works for the CDC. He is seriously considering coming forward soon, revealing his name, and speaking to the press. The CDC hasnt yet contacted him to explain himself, hasnt yet fired him or taken any action against him. But the CDC undoubtedly knows who he is. Its no mystery. From what this whistleblower has revealed so far, the CDC would easily be able to identify him. The whistleblower knows this. He has an attorney. Its not clear whether he can obtain whistleblower status and protection. I urge him to come forward, reveal his name, and talk. I urge him to tell everything he knows. The public needs to hear his evidence. And at this point, his best protection is disclosure. Stand up. Tell the whole truth. There are other researchers at the CDC who would be severely impacted by his disclosure. Like the whistleblower, they covered up the vaccine-autism connection. Unlike him, they havent admitted it. If this CDC scientist steps forward into the light, he could cause a firestorm. The CDC would immediately, of course, reject his claims. They would say something like this: Yes, its true that, ten years ago, we studied autism and the MMR vaccine, but the whole thrust and pattern of the data we compiled had to be considered, not just one piece. We did look at all the data, and we reached the correct conclusion. There is no evidence that the MMR vaccine causes autism. The CDC would count on their allies in the press to swallow this statement whole and treat the story as a minor blip on the radar. They would count on their allies to ignore what the whistleblower is actually saying: that in a CDC 2004 study, a whole raft of significant and damning data was thrown out and ignored, thus making it seem there was no vaccine-autism connection. Its also quite possible that the CDC will try to personally discredit the whistleblower, through character attacks. Is he ready for this? Will he stand up to it? He needs to come forward now, to allay any suspicion that he was prepped to release false information as if it were true, and then ensnare vaccine critics. In this vicious game, anything is possible. Half-admissions wont carry the day. Half-light and half-shadow wont work. If he can deliver the goods in person, for all to see, the resulting scandal would travel up into the highest reaches of the CDC, hitting executives who have served there for the past 10 years. It could move higher into the Department of Health and Human Services, and even the Congress and the White House, present and past. And then there are the vaccine manufacturers. They too would face very specific questions. Having written on these matters for many years, Im not under the delusion that major heavy hitters would do jail time. But once the match is lit, you never know what will happen. The CDC has insisted, time after time, that theyve proved vaccines have nothing to do with autism. But out in the land of the Web, there are thousands and thousands of people who know better and can speak and write the truth. Its up to him now. If as reported, he feels great shame and remorse for covering up the damning data and contributing to much human harm and damage, he has an option. He can pull himself together, say his name, say what he knows, down to the last detail, and say who at the CDC insisted that lies be told. He can burn down all those lies. He can break through and acquaint the public with what its like to hear the truth from a government-agency employee.

3	House Votes to Stop Medical Marijuana Raids in Legal StatesPhillip Smith Wow, things are changing fast. Efforts to pass similar amendments have never come close in previous yearsthe previous best was 165 yea votes in 2007but the amendment passed by 30 votes tonight. Tom Angell of Marijuana Majority is liking what hes seeing: This historic vote shows just how quickly marijuana reform has become a mainstream issue, he said. The last time a similar amendment came up it didnt come very close to passing but, since then, more states have passed medical marijuana laws and a couple have even legalized marijuana for all adults. More states are on this way later this year and in 2016, and its clear that more politicians are beginning to realize that the American people want the federal government to stop standing in the way. If any political observers werent aware that the end of the war on marijuana is nearing, they just found out. It aint a done deal just yet, though. If the Senate version of the bill doesnt contain similar language, it will be up to the House leadership to fight for the amendment (or not) in conference committee. Angell also makes another astute point. While we can grumble about the spate of what I call limited CBD medical marijuana bills, and how they are so extremely restrictive, they have also spread the medical marijuana meme to places where it hadnt thrived before, like the Deep South. And that could be paying off in congressional votes like this one. This years huge vote increase can largely be attributed to the fact that lawmakers only recently began hearing the moving stories of the many children whose severe seizures are only relieved by marijuana. Being able to list these CBD states in the amendment text meant that more members of Congress that represent these states voted yes than otherwise would have. Counting these states, 60 percent of the U.S. population lives in a place where state law disagrees with federal law. Phillip Smith writes for StopTheDrugWar.org where this report first appeared. 
2	Judge Orders Investigation Into Obamas Fake Social Security Number After years of suspicion, a Maryland judge has finally ruled that an investigation will take place into Obamas Social Security number. It looks like Obama may finally have to answer questions about the origin of his birth. Claims assert that President Barack Obama uses the Social Security number of Harrison Bounel, a man born in Connecticut. However, the Social Security Administration claims that it has misplaced all documents for the number in question. Finally, a judge has issued an order that requires the federal government to respond to claims of fraud. In fact, Judge Hollander has subpoenaed all documents from the Social Security Administration related to the SSN of both Bounel and Obama. Thanks to the ruling, individual employees of the Social Security Administration will be held responsible if the missing documents are not recovered. What do you think? Is this the chance to reveal the truth? 
3	Federal Report: The College Debt Bubble Is CollapsingMac Slavo But new data released by the Department of Education tell a different story. According to the report as many as 33% of American college grads with student loan debt are now in delinquent status on their repayments. About one-third of borrowers with federal student loans owned by the U.S. Department of Education are late on their payments, according tonew federal data. The figures, released by the Education Department on Thursday, are the first comprehensive look at the delinquency plaguing those who hold federal student loans. By the new metric, which the department has never used before, roughly 33 percent of borrowers weremore than five days lateon one of their federal student loans as of Dec. 31. (Since the department only released individual figures for its four largest contractors, rather than a total percentage, however, the actual figure may be a few percentage points higher or lower.) Previous measureshad put the delinquency rate much lower, masking the true amount of distress among borrowers trying to make good on their taxpayer-backed debts. There are currently 41 million Americans who collectively have about $1.1 Trillion in loans outstanding.That means about 13.5 million Americans are currently delinquent on roughly $350 billion in student loan debt. Several years ago we noted that as many as 85% of broke and jobless college graduates had no choice but to move back in with their parents after they graduated. That was in the midst of the worst recession since the 1930s, but the latest figures from the Department of Education suggest things are just as bad, if not worse, even though the government says our unemployment rate has dropped from 10% to 5.5% in that same time period. So where are the jobs? Well, according to a recent article from the Washington Post, officials at the Federal Reserve believe that our economy is at full employment. But as Michael Snyder noted this month, there are at least 10 reasons that show why the unemployment numbers are a massive lie: But what they are telling us simply does not match the cold, hard reality on the streets. And since the talking heads on television are proclaiming that we are nearly at full employment, that just makes millions upon millions of Americans that cant seem to find work no matter how hard they try feel even worse than they already do. If jobs are easy to get, then those that are chronically unemployment must have something wrong with them. That is the message that we are being given. If the mainstream media says that unemployment has gone way down, then anyone that is still unemployed must be really lazy, right? When you are unemployed for an extended period of time, it can really suck the life right out of you. It can be really tempting to believe that you are viewed as a failure by your family and friends. And for the government to lie to us like this just makes things even harder. If you are unemployed and cant find a job right now, I want you to understand that you are caught in the midst of a long-term downward economic spiral which is going to get a lot worse. When the government tells you that we are in a recovery, they are lying to you. And as things get more difficult for average Americans, so too will it become tougher for people to pay their expenses, including loan repayments on cars, credit cards, mortgages and student loans. The fact is, things are not going to get better for most people. Theyre going to get worse. As for the borrowed money held by college students and graduates that bubble is now exploding. Its a warning we published last year and we can now see it becoming reality: College tuition cannot rise indefinitely. Eventually something will cause the great college bubble to pop. Outstanding student loan debt isover $1.2 trillion. This is nearly 50% higher than outstanding credit card debt. The longer the status quo is kept, the bigger the bubble is going to get and thus the larger the crash will be. In the coming years student loan payments will get so high that itll be unmanageable even for the students that get the dream job that they were told their degree would award them. Massive defaults will occur and colleges will soon be worse off. Prices will need to be readjusted to maintain the maximum income when attendance levels crash. Professors will face pay cuts or layoffs, along with administration, maintenance, construction and anyone else working for or at a college or university. The consequences will be felt nationwide as the college loan scam falls apart. And it will be Americans who got duped by the promise of high paying dream jobs and financial stability who will pay the ultimate price.

3	Is the NSA Blackmail Inc. for the military industrial complex?Jon Rappoport The NSA is organized under the US Dept. of Defense. Imagine that you are a powerful player who straddles two worldsthe Dept. of Defense and the private sector where corporate defense-contractors live and flourish. Youve served many times in both arenas. Your name is Mr. Military Industrial Complex. Your mission is war. The reasons for war dont matter. Reasons can be invented at the drop of a hat. You want endless armed conflict. Thats how you make your money. Thats how you express your impulses. Thats your single obsession. Thats how you forward Empire. You dont have to justify what you do or consult your conscience. Those days, if they ever existed, are long past. Youre a war-monger and youre proud of it. Your basic challenge, on behalf of the military industrial complex, is working the political machinery in Washingtonthe Congress, the president, the two major Partiesin order to make war happen. One day, you look around and you say, I have a whole super-agency at my disposal. Its organized under the Dept. of Defense. It-called the NSA. It spies on everybody all the time. Well, the NSA is already doing that. So the question is: will you use that explosive information, that very private information gained through spying, to coerce these politicians to go to war when you want to go to war? Is the Pope Catholic? Of course youll use it. Youd be a complete fool not to. In fact, in the long run, this may well be the most important function of NSA. Yes. Given your overriding mission in life, it is the most important function of NSA. Its job number one. So youre going to make sure the resources of the NSA are tuned up quite effectively to extract the information you need. Its called blackmail. Its called extortion. Its beautiful. Its the natural use of the NSA, within the overall structure of the military industrial complex. There are always recalcitrant members of Congress and reluctant presidents who could use a push to go to war. These politicians, the overwhelming majority of them, are criminals. Lets face it. Theyre remarkably indifferent to human life. They cheat and lie and steal. They have private secrets. They commit acts that would, if exposed, embarrass them and destroy their pathetic careers. Theyre wonderfully fertile targets for spying and blackmail. You have the spear. The leading point that can penetrate those secrets. The NSA. The logic is perfect and complete. So you really have two enemies or targets. One, the foreign nation you intend to invade, and two, the politicians you need to convince to support that war. In light of your latter target, the politicians, these words of Sun Tzu (The Art of War) take on new meaning: Attack [your enemy] where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected. For example, in a Senators hotel suite, with video capability, while he is in the arms of a hooker. The general who wins the battle makes many calculations in his temple before the battle. For example, calculations focusing on politicians offshore bank accounts. In the era of kings and queens, the monarchs court was rife with intrigue and extortion. We labor under the misapprehension that this has all been cleared up and swept away in the time of open government. Nothing could be further from the truth. Only means and tools have changed. Relentless PR projected at the public makes a case for honest, honorable, and embattled politicians. Secondary layers of PR make the case that rabidly morbid partisanship infects political life. Both of these psyops are cover stories. The core truth is harsher. Politicians are, overwhelmingly, creatures who have decided whom to sell their souls to. Thats who they are. People of this stripe always wander off course in their private lives. The NSA is there to record the wanderings and compile the secrets. NSA is the elephant in the infested room called Washington. It remembers everything. War is war, and preparing to go to war is also war. The military industrial complex needs the NSA to close the deal. Spying, blackmail. This is how politicians arms are twisted and war is guaranteed. Things arent left to chance. It isnt, Maybe some day well go to war or maybe we wont. The military industrial complex sells death. Its backed up by the largest spying agency in the world, who has red-hot files on politicians scandalous private behavior. From Russ Tice, former intelligence analyst with 20 years of experience at NSA, the US Air Force, the Office of Naval Intelligence, and the Defense Intelligence Agency, in a June 2013 interview with Boiling Frogs: They [NSA] went after [spied on] and I know this because I had my hands literally on the paperwork for these sort of things they went after high-ranking military officers; they went after members of Congress, both Senate and the House, especially on the intelligence committees and on the armed services committees and some of the and judicial They went after lawyers and law firms. All kinds of heaps of lawyers and law firms. They went after judges. One of the judges is now sitting on the Supreme Court that I had his wiretap information in my hand. Two are former FISA court judges. They went after State Department officials. They went after people in the executive service that were part of the White House their own people. Heres the big one this was in summer of 2004, one of the papers that I held in my hand was to wiretap a bunch of numbers associated with a 40-something-year-old wannabe senator for Illinois. You wouldnt happen to know where that guy lives right now would you? Its a big white house in Washington, D.C. Thats who they went after, and thats the president of the United States now.

2	Obama Refuses To Investigate San Bern. Islamist Group Because Of Civil Liberties Obama refuses to crack down on radical Islamic terrorists. His pathetic solution of gun control is all he has to show for himself. Now he is refusing to investigate the Islamic group that the San Bernardino terrorist couple was a part of. He claims that he doesnt want to intrude on their civil liberties. In fact, the Department of Homeland Security has been accused of deleting records related to Islamist terrorists in order to protect their civil liberties. This is absurd. These terrorists civil liberties went right out the window when they killed 14 innocent Americans. Obama needs to grow a pair and do what is necessary to keep our country safe. Do you think this Islamic group should be monitored 24/7? 
2	Muslims Force Christian Man To Convert To Islam, Then Behead Him [VIDEO] According to recent reports, a Christian man who was captured by Muslims in Syria, was forced to declare the Shahadatan, stating that There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger. Just moments after complied, he was deemed an infidel and was beheaded. Now, Christians are working on the ground in Syria and Iraq in an attempt to save thousands of Christians from a similar fate. Sister Hatune Dogan has stepped up in support and has been awarded the Order of Merit by the German Government for her involvement. The brutal incident was originally caught on video, but the footage has since been deleted due to its graphic nature. Still, the story serves as enough of a call to action, to stand in support of Christians who are being persecuted every day in Syria. 
1	A saltless 'Superpretzel' is still hanging alone in a bulb-heated rack at Horizon Lanes, officials for the Odessa-area bowling alley reported Tuesday. 'Looks like there's just one left,' said Mack Klausner, snack-bar manager for the 12-lane alley. 'Guess nobody wants the one without salt.' The oversized soft pretzel, priced at 99 cents, has been rotating in the glass-enclosed case since Sept. 2, when it was sprayed with water and dipped in salt along with 17 other pretzels. 'All the salt fell off,' Klausner said. 'Maybe we should put some more on. 
1	The toy section of the Fleet Road Goodwill, with its heartbreaking assortment of soiled, broken, bargain-priced playthings, depressed an estimated 20 shoppers Tuesday. One of the Goodwill store's heartbreaking rejects. 'Look at this one,' said Spencer resident Bobbie Perrin, 43, gingerly picking up a grimy stuffed animal with her fingertips. 'Judging from the 'Kennel Kritters' tag, it must be a knock-off of one of those Pound Puppies from the '80s, only I'm pretty sure those had legs.' 'Oh my God, are those tomato-soup stains on its back?' asked Perrin, flinging the Kennel Kritter back into a large bin, where it landed between a plastic horse and a faded Parcheesi game board. 'I thought those were spots.' The bin, whose items were priced at 50 cents each, also contained a chewed rawhide dog bone, a Rubik's Cube with the stickers peeled off and sloppily reapplied, a broken laser-pointer key chain, a nude Skipper doll, a deflated Minnesota Vikings plastic football, a Ziploc bag containing five Teddy Ruxpin cassettes and a crayon, and a 'bendie' policeman with wires poking out of its joints. Perrin, who had come to the store looking for black pants for her daughter's waitress uniform, said she took a detour into the toy section seeking a small, impromptu gift for her neighbor's 4-year-old child. Instead, Perrin was confronted with a profoundly sad menagerie of unwanted toys. 'This is the kind of stuff you wouldn't pick up if it were lying on the side of the road,' Perrin said. 'Yet, somehow, it's being presented for sale as merchandise. I guess if you can't afford to buy your child a new Frisbee for $3, you can get a dirty 25-cent one here.' 'I'm going home to lie down,' Perrin added. 'I feel awful.' Perrin is not the only customer nearly brought to tears by the toys. Liza Robichaud, 22, who periodically visits the Goodwill store to shop for drinking glasses and vintage '80s T-shirts, passed through the section on her way to the bathroom. 'The toy area has its own distinct odor: sort of a musty, mildewy, plastic, sour-milk, baby-vomit, metallic, rotting-cloth smell,' Robichaud said. 'It isn't quite the smell of eviljust despair.' Scanning the shelves of misfit games and books, Robichaud sighed deeply. More filthy, unwanted misfits. 'I need to go wash my hands,' Robichaud said. 'I really shouldn't have touched that leaky Magic 8-Ball.' Corey Litt, a 21-year-old college student, was similarly shaken. 'This stuff's in such bad shape, it's hard to even enjoy it for the kitsch factor,' Litt said. 'I saw a can of Lincoln Logs over there and got excited. But when I opened it, there were only, like, three or four logs and a bunch of other crapa Tinkertoy wheel with gum stuck in the holes, about a dozen bent Uno cards, a pair of lens-less sunglasses, a couple jigsaw-puzzle pieces, a marble, and a bicycle reflector.' Making the toy section all the more depressing, experts say, is the high percentage of promotional toys from fast-food restaurants and cereal boxes. 'On the ladder of toy desirability, promotional toys are the lowest rung,' said Daniel Nestor, author of Bins Of Despair. 'They are the shoddiest and, by virtue of their promotional nature, most dated and disposable. A child who finds a McDonald's action figure of an Asian warrior at Goodwill is highly unlikely to recognize him as a character from Mulan, and it would take a movie-trivia whiz of the highest order to know that his name is Captain Li Shang. Removed from the context of the movie and the corresponding Happy Meal box, the toy becomes that much more pitiful and obsolete than its non-promotional counterpart.' Because the toys are in such poor shape when they arrive at Goodwill, there is little incentive for the store's staff to take good care of them. As a result, their condition worsens, leading to an endless degradation spiral: The dirtier the toys become, the less likely they are to be bought. In turn, the longer they remain in the store, the dirtier they become. 'Somehow, even the saggy-diapered 2-year-olds left to entertain themselves with the toys sense their lack of value,' Nestor said. 'They fling them around with abandon, banging them against each other with little fear of doing harm to the chipped alphabet blocks, sticky-film-covered Mega-Bloks, mascara-smeared Barbie heads, single miniature-doll shoes, and shards of colorful plastic that are vaguely Fisher Price in origin.' 'Then there are the stuffed animals,' Nestor said. 'Those things are just gross.' 
3	Medicare Semantics Can Cost Seniors Big BucksCatherine J Frompovich Brian Williams and Kate Snow bring attention to, and caution about, the use of certain words on hospital admission forms. The words involved, which make a huge difference as to who pays, are Inpatient and Under Observation. The Wall Street Journal wrote in its article Beware Medicares Observation Status this important information: Observation status can expose Medicare patients to unexpected expenses. As outpatients, their visits arent covered under Medicare Part A, which pays for hospital charges above a $1,184 deductible. Instead, outpatient services are billed under Medicare Part B, which requires patients to pay 20% of the cost and imposes no cap on their total expenditures. [1] [Thats why it is so important to have a Medicare supplemental insurance policy, which covers those costs. Otherwise, Medicare patients can be billed astronomically high rates for services that are not bargained for through Medicare agreements with providers.] Perhaps, it would be wise to discuss this Medicare quirk with family so in the event there comes a time when hospitalization is needed, everyone knows what to expect and how a Medicare subscriber should be admitted on hospital forms. The Under Observation rate of admissions in hospitals can range as high as 70 percent per hospital! That little Medicare surprise is something seniors need to know about. Maybe it wouldnt be a bad idea to talk about the Inpatient versus Under Observation payment plans with ones physician just so everyone is on the same page. However, Medicare seems to have the upper hand in deciding whether a patient was admitted correctly, even to reviewing hospital records at a later date. Be aware and keep accurate records. Under Observation apparently is equivalent to outpatient while in hospital. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) offers an 8-page information brochure, which Medicare subscribers are encouraged to print out and study. CMS defines Under Observation status this way: Observation care is a well-defined set of specific, clinically appropriate services, which include ongoing short-term treatment, assessment, and reassessment before a decision can be made regarding whether patients will require further treatment as hospital inpatients or if they are able to be discharged from the hospital.the purpose of observation is to determine the need for further treatment or for inpatient admission. Thus, a patient receiving observation services may improve and be released or be admitted as an inpatient. The Center for Medicare Advocacy, Inc. asks for help in ending the Observation Status because it can cost seniors megabucks. See this story: For Hospital Patients, Observation Status Can Prove Costly According to the Center for Medicare Advocacy, there is Legislation pending in Congress, the Improving Access to Medicare Coverage Act of 2013 (H.R. 1179/S.569) can end the problem of Observation Status. Contact your legislators now to support this critical legislation. [It is a petition readers may want to sign. I did.] On the web theres another site that discusses Coding QA: Outpatient vs. Inpatient vs. Observation Status Under the Medicare Payment Systems. More important information to digest!

1	Noting that he had spent a significant amount of time reflecting on the matter, sources confirmed Friday that 28-year-old local man Nathan Whalen, who has no real-life career goals whatsoever, knows exactly which job hed want in the Harry Potter universe. I definitely think I would be a wandmaker, because I like working with my hands and I consider myself a pretty good judge of character, said Whalen, who has reportedly bounced around a number of entry-level positions over the past several years without devoting any thought at all to his long-term career prospects. I used to want to be a potions master, but I think all those exact measurements would get kind of tedious after a while. Though, obviously, it would be great to have an office in the dungeon. At press time, the man who has no clue how to change the oil in his car was speaking at length about the differences between the Nimbus 2000 and Cleansweep Seven broomstick models. 
2	Obama Calls Trump A Racist... Learns Very Quickly That Was A HUGE Mistake For some time now, critics of Donald Trump have accused him of being a racist. Most recently, theyve targeted his comments about Judge Gonzalo Curiel, the Mexican-American federal judge presiding over the Trump University lawsuits. In a controversial statement, Trump said that Curiel should recuse himself from the cases because his immigration platform poses a fundamental conflict of interest. Of course, liberals jumped all over this. But what they failed to recognize was a previous matter, concerning the Department of Justice and Judge A. Ashley Tabaddor, who is of Iranian descent. The Justice Department grew concerned of what they deemed an appearance of impropriety after Tabaddor attended a 2012 White House meeting with other Iranian-Americans. Her superiors recommended that she recuse herself from future cases involving Iranian nationals. That recommendation later became an order. It is not an uncommon thing for parties to be asked to remove themselves from cases if there appears to be any conflict of interest or bias. Still, Tabaddor sued the Department of Justice, claiming the order violated her First Amendment rights. According to the judges lawsuit, no one has accused her of bias. Instead, Justice Department officials were concerned with the appearance of impropriety. They ultimately settled with Tabaddor in 2015 for $200,000 with a promise to review their recusal policies. This was a case of the DOJ forcing someone to recuse herself because of her race. In Trumps case, he is simply suggesting a change because of policy positions. What do you think? Is Trump justified in being concerned? 
1	Despite exhibiting what numerous acquaintances have described as a distinctly odd appearance, local man Daniel Hobson has somehow managed to look relatively normal in his Facebook profile picture, sources confirmed Wednesday. Dans definitely a weird-looking dude, but one look at his profile and youd actually think he was halfway, you know, not weird-looking, said coworker Carrie Wyatt, noting that the angle and lighting of Hobsons photograph have effectively negated the most bizarre of his telltale physical characteristics, including his bulging forehead, perpetually chapped lips, and prominent overbite. When you see him in person, it can actually be pretty unsettling. But here hes positioned in such a way that he looks like a perfectly normal, fully functioning human being. You can barely even tell he has a lazy eye. At press time, after having scanned the rest of Hobsons photos on the social media website, Wyatt had noticed that Hobson has adopted an identical pose for nearly every picture he has allowed to have been taken of him.

3	Character Traits And Skills That Are Hard To Find During A CrisisBy Brandon Smith Many Americans cannot yet relate to the concept of full-spectrum crisis, but most of us have at least experienced localized disasters. In order to understand what a national emergency might look like, one simply needs to examine the microcosm of localized disasters and then imagine the same exact problems but magnified 1,000 times. From my personal experience with local crises, I can say that the worst threat comes not from the event itself, but the ways in which people choose to deal with the event. That is to say, for smart, courageous and prepared people with the right traits and skills, there is no such thing as a crisis. For stupid people who overestimate their abilities or who let fear dominate their thinking, any crisis becomes an insurmountable moment of utter terror. The right people in the right place at the right time no crisis. The wrong people in the right place at the right time total destruction. Therefore, the key to surviving any crisis is to have the right people in place, and to be well away from the wrong people. The question is, who are the right people? How do we identify them? And, how do we examine ourselves and determine if we are ready or unready? Here are some of the increasingly rare character traits and skills that make a crisis manageable for any community. This is one of the hardest character qualities to find in people in a moment of crisis. Remember back to any crisis moments you have personally experienced and ask yourself how many people around you actually tried to solve the problem immediately, and how may stood around waiting for someone else to take the lead? During larger-scale disasters this frequently manifests as widespread apathy. Thousands or even millions of people milling around for someone in authority to tell them what they should do rather than taking measures themselves. I am not a big believer in leadership by dictation. The moment you give one or very few people the power to dictate the actions of entire groups, your society is already doomed. However, I am a believer in leadership by example because I have seen it work. Unfortunately, people who have the ability to lead by example are few and far between. Without people of this quality within your community, it is unlikely you will survive. Decisiveness wins the day. When I mention the ability to teach, I am not referring to people who we designate officially as teachers or people who call themselves teachers. Most teachers do not actually know how to teach anything. I am thoroughly convinced that the ability to to teach, to transfer knowledge in a way that people can easily understand and replicate, is an inborn skill a few people are gifted with it, most people are not. I have seen men and women with expert level knowledge in numerous fields of study who are bumbling buffoons when it comes to passing that knowledge on to others. This is because it is not enough to have mastered a skill set; you must also be able to read other people and figure out how they process information. You have to be highly intuitive to teach, and this is not something that can be learned, it is something that comes naturally. Finding great teachers during terrible times is the best way for a community to strengthen rather than weaken. It is also the only way that a society can rebuild after a collapse. Crisis scenarios sometimes require imaginative solutions in order for the threat to be removed. Thinking outside of the box means a person is unafraid to gamble, and also unafraid to enact measures which have no precedence in history. Thinking outside of the box is not guaranteed to work, but it is a desirable trait when predictable responses are likely to fail. An outside-the-box thinker is a kind of inventor he invents or engineers a mechanism that no one else could have conceived of because he does not see the crisis in front of him in linear terms; he does not see it as a situation he is trapped within. Rather, he sees the crisis as if outside the bubble looking from above. Many people have done this at least once in their lives; few people are able to do this on a regular basis. It is truly amazing how few people are able to recognize they are in the midst of an emergency or disaster and remain calm and collected. Keep in mind, people who are apathetic during a crisis are not remaining calm, they simply are too ignorant to understand the gravity of the situation. Remaining calm requires you to see the danger and to act accordingly without panic. Vetting people for such a character trait is pretty easy; just watch how they respond to smaller stress events. Do they run and hide every time literally or psychologically, or do they stand their ground and work out the problem? Do they let their emotions take full control, or do they manage them? Reactionaries can make any crisis far worse by their mere presence. Get rid of them, or teach them how to manage stress if you can. Sometimes a crisis is not a natural event but a man-made event, and the only way to stop the crisis is to eliminate the man or men responsible. This requires self-defense, and self-defense requires force. Sadly, when most people do direct force to stop an attack rather than cowering in fear they tend to do it haphazardly and without intelligent direction. They simply lash out in anger, and sometimes the wrong people get hurt in the process. This is kind of like using a shovel rather than a scalpel to scoop out a tumor. The ability to direct force intelligently requires not only a propensity for acting without permission, but also in some cases remaining patient. When action is taken, it must be done with precision and insight. Finding a person who appreciates this methodology is like finding a four leaf clover nowadays. Disasters are usually messy and horrifying affairs leading to grisly and macabre scenes. The key is to be able to process the sight of such carnage without being mentally broken by it, while also maintaining ones humanity. I call these people quiet professionals. People who think that dealing with the pain and death of others requires you to act like a robot have missed the point entirely and are not safe and functional people to have present in a crisis. Instead, it is vital that we continue to hold onto our empathy, but not let it disrupt our ability to take action to help those who are suffering. Anyone who simply shuts off all emotion is likely a sociopath, and while sociopaths do have a knack for functioning well in grisly jobs they also have a knack for putting other people at risk. Sociopaths are incapable of caring about others, while quiet professionals take responsibility for others despite the ugliness of the situation. This is not a quality that can be easily seen in other people. Situations that actually call for self-sacrifice usually occur only in the worst of times, and it is nearly impossible to know for certain how anyone, including ourselves, will act when that time comes. To be clear, self-sacrifice by itself is not a noble quality. There are people out there that long for martyrdom, but they do so in the name of personal glory rather than in the name of saving others. Not only should self-sacrifice be enacted only when it is certain to save lives and no other options are available, it should also only be enacted without selfish aspirations of promoting ones own legacy. Such an attitude invariably leads to disaster rather than redemption. It is vital that people have the ability to take initiative during a crisis and get things done. But, it is also vital for people to recognize when the person next to them is better qualified for a specific task. Leadership good leadership is about deferring responsibilities in a practical way. If you cannot do this then you are not a leader, you are an annoyance or an obstacle. I have seen far too many people in leadership positions sabotage their own efforts by refusing to hand over responsibility to those better suited to certain tasks. If you are a motivator, but not a teacher, then motivate your best teachers to teach rather than trying to take charge of both tasks and failing miserably. If you are not skilled in a particular area, then dont try to micro-manage people who are. Finding people who are doers is a fantastic thing, as long as they can refrain from overstepping their realm of ability and stepping on the toes of others. The worst possible scenario I can imagine is to have a community in which leadership is not shared according to expertise to some extent. Identify micro-managers and mini-tyrants early, or suffer the fate of a completely dysfunctional community in the face of unprecedented challenges. It is perhaps not coincidental that all of the above character qualities are growing rarer as our culture grows more and more unstable. The notion of preparedness for crisis revolves far too much around collecting supplies and menial skills and not enough around collecting people of excellent character. That is to say, true preparedness is about building up necessary supplies and talents, but it is also about organizing with uniquely qualified people. Ignoring the latter task is to set yourself up for inevitable failure.

1	Hoping to alleviate the controversy surrounding their allegedly racist name, representatives for the Washington Redskins announced Thursday that they will attempt to ease tensions with the nations outraged Native Americans by adding a bottle of liquor to the football teams official logo. We have heard the complaints from the Native American community about our logo, and we are making some key design changes so that we can at last put this matter behind us, franchise owner Dan Snyder told reporters at a press conference in which he unveiled the newest iteration of the teams emblem, which now features a 1.75-liter plastic jug of Black Velvet blended whiskey alongside the Redskins traditional Indian head profile. After years of contentious back-and-forth over the issue, we decided to come up with a logo that at last pays fitting tribute to this countrys proud native peoples. And we believe this is that logo. You redskins like-um the firewater, right? According to team sources, in a further attempt to mend relations with the Native American community, the Redskins have elected to donate thousands of smallpox-infested blankets to the nations Indian reservations. 
2	Judge Jeanine Joins Trey Gowdy Train To Take Down Hillary Clinton In Last Effort Before Election FBI Director James Comey may be willing to let Hillary Clinton off the hook for her many crimes, but Judge Jeanine Pirro has made it clear she is not going to let the Democratic presidential nominee walk away so easily. In a recent segment, Pirro targeted the Clinton Foundation. Its clear what their intent was, she began. Their intent was to hide. To set up the server so that she could operate, not only outside of the guidelines and the rules and the federal requirements, but that she could operate an organized criminal enterprise in the name of a 501(c)(3) charity. Pirro did not stop there. Its a RICOracketeering influencing corruption organization, Pirro commented. Like the mob. Shes a capo and you know they got the consigliere, who is Loretta Lynch at this point. This is just the most corrupted Department of Justice Ive ever seen, she concluded. And I thought Eric Holder was bad. Watch the full segment below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Pirro? Does this corruption need to be stopped?

I cant for the life of me think of what its called, but Im telling you, youd love it, said your mom, adding that the recently opened establishment, which she reported was done really nice inside, was located down over in that area where they built all those new shops. Everything we got was absolutely delicious. I ordered something that was a lot like that dish I like from the Italian place down the road, and your dads food came with this amazing sauce Id never heard of beforehey, honey?

1	Expressing a desire to 'slow things down and keep it casual,' Troy Lanier, 28, said Monday that his friendship with Scott Perotta, 27, is moving way too fast. Perotta (left) with Lanier, who wants to 'keep things casual.' '[Scott]'s a nice enough guy, but I've only known him for, like, five weeks, and he already acts like we're best friends,' said Lanier, a Glendale-area insurance adjuster. 'I wish I had stronger feelings for him, but I don't. I just don't know where I want this friendship to go, and I need the space to figure it all out.' Seen as a potentially good match based on their shared love of martial-arts films, Lanier and Perotta were introduced by a mutual friend in early January. 'The first night we hung out, we went to see Five Fingers Of Death at the revival theater,' Lanier said. 'It was nice, but things started accelerating much too quickly from there. He's always inviting me out to do stuff, and he calls me every time there's a Jackie Chan movie on TV. Within a few weeks of meeting Scott, I was talking to him more than Rob [Poehler], who's been my best friend since high school.' Lanier said he has been reluctant to give Perotta his e-mail address, fearing it will only accelerate the friendship. 'I just know he'd be e-mailing me every day,' Lanier said. 'He's always talking about these funny things he sees on the Internet. I've been thinking about setting up a special Yahoo! account and giving him that address with the caveat that I only check it once in a while, but that seems like an awful lot of effort to deal with someone I barely know.' According to Lanier, Perotta has also attempted to strengthen their bond through the disclosure of highly personal information. 'I know more about Scott than I do about people I've known for years,' Lanier said. 'He told me about how his mother was an alcoholic and how his uncle committed suicide in his garage. I try to steer the conversation back to neutral subjects, but try bringing up Sammo Hung movies after someone tells you his ex-girlfriend was sexually molested when she was 12.' Lanier has also taken exception to Perotta's habit of referring to him by nicknames. 'He's always calling me things like 'Laney' or 'Troy-Boy,'' Lanier said. 'My old high-school friends and I have nicknames for each other, but that's different. Until we've known each other a while, I'd prefer to be called Troyor, at worst, Lanier.' The final straw, Lanier said, came this past Sunday, when he received an unexpected gift from Perotta. 'He stopped by my house to borrow a CD, and my heart just dropped when he handed me a present,' Lanier said. 'It was a poster for They Call Me Bruce. I like the movie okay, but there's no way I'm putting it on my wall. That's the last thing I need, for Scott to come over and see some token of our everlasting friendship hanging over my bed.' Lanier said the situation might have been different had he met Perotta when he was in college. 'I was more open to meeting new people back then,' Lanier said. 'You live in the dorms, you meet people in classes, you go to parties, and so on. But I have so much more going on in my life now. Before I get too deep into a new friendship, I've got to make sure it's going to be worth the trouble to maintain.' Dr. Karen Franks, a Cornell University sociologist, said Lanier's predicament is not unusual. 'People make friends at different speeds,' Franks said. 'The key is to be honest and firm with people who try to take things too fast. Troy and Scott may end up being best friends someday, but until then, they should proceed at a rate comfortable for them both. If they don't, things will burn out, leaving one of them spending months awkwardly trying to get back his Jet Li DVDs.' 
3	Cops Who Write Bull$hit Tickets May Soon Face Prison TimeBy Jake Anderson In the city of Los Angeles alone, fine revenue has increased 50% since 2003 and is expected to reach $180 million by 2018. In recent years, many online social media movements have surged in response to this transparently fraudulent urban taxation, with many citizens demanding their local city governments take action against cops filling their ticket quotas. A new bill introduced by Representative Emanuel Cleaver of Missouri may soon push the movement forward. In the wake of the Department of Justice report regarding the police brutality and resulting riots in Ferguson, Missouri, Cleaver wants such unjust policing for profit tactics to be considered federal civil liberty violations. Calling the bill The Fair Justice Act, Cleaver wants any police officer charged with enforcing criminal or traffic laws for the sole purpose of raising revenue to face prison time for up to five years! The time has come to end the practice of using law enforcement as a cash register, a practice that has impacted too many Americans and has disproportionately affected minority and low-income communities, Representative Cleaver said. No American should have to face arbitrary police enforcement whose sole purpose is to raise revenue for a town, city, or state. This echoes President Barack Obamas comments following the release of the DOJ report on Ferguson. What we saw was that the Ferguson Police Department, in conjunction with the municipality, saw traffic stops, arrests, tickets as a revenue generator, as opposed to serving the community, the President said. And that it systematically was biased against African Americans. Do you think such a maneuver can withstand the grinding inequities of our legal system? Considering the recent difficulties in getting district attorneys to even prosecute cases of clear police brutality, its hard to be optimistic policing for profit tickets will be yielding disciplinary action any time soon. But perhaps lawmakers like Cleaver can at least help bring the issue into the limelight. This article (Cops Who Write Bull$hit Tickets May Soon Face Prison Time) is free and open source.

Yet tyrants still maintain power, not because people lack the physical ability to resist, but because through prolonged brainwashing they adopted the belief in authority, and as a result lack the mental ability to resist. As Stephen Biko put it : The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed. As long as the belief in authority remains, so will oppression. Do not be discouraged about any circumstances. Rather know that your core energy is the God who created all that is. You are the literal temple of God! Therefore, no situation is insurmountable. John 10: 10-14 Again this ancient nonsense ! Revelation 22:16 This is music to my ears. I have been an extortion victim a # of times. To hear of a pig in costume being locked up. I love it! Unless you injure a person, damage property or breach a contract you have done no wrong. I would like to suggest something to you fellow victims here in the brand-new oligarchy formerly called the U.S . For a few bucks a year you can lease a monitoring device that archives your speed/location etc. to your account with them. Insurance companies often require us to rent them to help them adjust the amount they extort from us while our legislators service them. They are smaller than a pack of cancer sticks and plug in under your dash. When, (not if), youre victimized, go home, log into your account, print out the data, shove it in the prosecutors mug then file a civil suit against the cop, D.A. and your benevolent leaders in town hall. Most newer vehicles have GPS, Wifi or both installed standard so that information is already logged for you without the extra expense. The factory installed spyware can be accessed, although not as easily as logging into any account, but should give you the same information. There is also a black box in vehicles since the early 90s that LEOs can access if needed. That means so can you. So I would suggest saving some money and research those options. Thank you for the clarification. These options you mention though. Would LEOs et al, knowing of their existence be able to subvert it? This means they can, (as we all know), take control of them and deny access or alter the information whereas with an added one, a person could return home, instantly access their account, print out the information and have it ready. I dont want to seem paranoid, but since 9/11 Ive seen a multitude of treacherous acts committed by our benevolent protectors. Ive watched an innocent man beaten for over 30 minutes by 6 cowards on tape until he later died then set free by the courts. Nothing can surprise me when it comes to the degree to which our police/government have been set against us. Well I dont know for certain if they can subvert the black box or not. I do know however that anything electronic can be hacked it has already been proven that it can be done to remotely control newer vehicles. I share your concerns about the gov and LEO not having or best interests in mind and your paranoia is well warrantied. However, I was just recommending a way to save a few $$ potentially. In any case, your advice/added information is appreciated. Its refreshing to have social discourse and sharing of ideas w/o attacking or being attacked with mindless vitriol. thank you. If anyone thinks they are going to give up $180 million a year, I have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell. Doesnt anyone get it yet? They (local, state and federal governments) are at war with the people. 
3	Worlds Most Intrusive Database To Go Live In DecemberMick Meaney The Data Sharing and Linking Service (DSLS), the worlds most intrusive database, is scheduled to go live in December and will begin logging and monitoring the name, dates of birth, genders and postcodes for everyone in Scotland, including health records, maternity details, mental health, cancer, GP and even dental notes. Education, childhood and parenting profiles will also be stored. Social care, housing and justice statistics, as well as information from the 2011 Scottish Census which includes financial and salary details, religious and sexual orientation, relationships and family life, will also be held in the database. There is also the suggestion that the system will contain DNA records. Ministers have lashed out at the plan saying it will turn millions of Scots into human guinea pigs at the expense of civil liberties. Nick Pickles, director of campaign group Big Brother Watch, called the system an identity card system without the piece of plastic. This is an unprecedented effort to open up our personal information to huge numbers of people across the public sector by joining up lots of separate databases to the point they might as well be one enormous database. We may live in tough times, but thats no justification to sell-out the privacy of Scots for a short term gain or in the hope that companies are going to pay for the chance to use the country as a massive research lab. Sadly many parts of the public sector have a dubious record when it comes to protecting this kind of information and Im afraid it is going to lead to some harrowing intrusions on peoples privacy. Mairi Clare Rodgers, director of media relations for Liberty, added: Plans to access highly personal details via a large, unwieldy centralised database raise major concerns these proposals fail to even mention consent and without proper safeguards theres a real risk data will be lost or misused. A Scottish Government spokeswoman said: The Data Sharing and Linkage Service will help by providing researchers with secure access to anonymous data. This government is committed to improving Scotlands public services. Over the past few years we have been working together with our partners to use data that already exists in a way that is efficient, safe and secure and is fully respectful of peoples privacy.

3	Americas Covert Re-Invasion of IraqTony Cartalucci The Wall Street Journal in its report, Iraqi Drama Catches U.S. Off Guard, stated: Despite drone flights collecting intelligence, and a 3-year ongoing CIA program (here, here, and here) all along the Turkish-Syrian border to monitor and arm moderate militants fighting the Syrian government, the US claims it was caught by surprise. If drones and CIA operatives operating in ISIS territory werent enough to detect the impending invasion, perhaps the CIA should have just picked up a newspaper. Indeed, the Lebanon Daily Start in March 2014 reported that ISIS openly withdrew its forces from Latakia and Idlib provinces in western Syria, and redeployed them in Syrias east along the Syrian-Iraqi border. The article titled, Al-Qaeda splinter group in Syria leaves two provinces: activists, stated explicitly that: The question remains, if a Lebanese newspaper knew ISIS was on the move eastward, why didnt the CIA? The obvious answer is the CIA did know, and is simply feigning ignorance at the expense of their reputation to bait its enemies into suspecting the agency of incompetency rather than complicity in the horrific terroristic swath ISIS is now carving through northern Iraq. Described extensively in the full New Eastern Outlook Journal (NEO) report, NATOs Terror Hordes in Iraq a Pretext for Syria Invasion, the United States, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, have funded and armed terrorists operating in Syria for the past 3 years to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars coincidentally the same amount that ISIS would require to gain primacy among militant groups fighting in Syria and to mobilize forces capable of crossing into Iraq and overwhelming Baghdads national defenses. Whats ISIS Doing in Iraq? The NEO report would also post Seymour Hershs 2007 article, The Redirection, documenting over the course of 9 pages US, Saudi, and Israeli intentions to create and deploy sectarian extremists region-wide to confront Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Hersh would note that these sectarian extremists were either tied to Al Qaeda, or Al Qaeda itself. The ISIS army moving toward Baghdad is the final manifestation of this conspiracy, a standing army operating with impunity, threatening to topple the Syrian government, purge pro-Iranian forces in Iraq, and even threatening Iran itself by building a bridge from Al Qaedas NATO safe havens in Turkey, across northern Iraq, and up to Irans borders directly. Labeled terrorists by the West, grants the West plausible deniability in its creation, deployment, and across the broad spectrum of atrocities it is now carrying out. It is a de facto re-invasion of Iraq by Western interests but this time without Western forces directly participating rather a proxy force the West is desperately attempting to disavow any knowledge of or any connection to. However, no other explanation can account for the size and prowess of ISIS beyond state sponsorship. And since ISIS is the clear benefactor of state sponsorship, the question is, which states are sponsoring it? With Iraq, Syria, and Iran along with Lebanese-based Hezbollah locked in armed struggle with ISIS and other Al Qaeda franchises across the region, the only blocs left are NATO and the GCC (Saudi Arabia and Qatar in particular). With the West declaring ISIS fully villainous in an attempt to intervene more directly in northern Iraq and eastern Syria, creating a long desired buffer zone within which to harbor, arm, and fund an even larger terrorist expeditionary force, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and others are offered an opportunity to preempt Western involvement and to crush the ISIS cornering and eliminating NATO-GCCs expeditionary force while scoring geopolitical points of vanquishing Washingtons latest villain. Joint Iraq-Iranian operations in the north and south of ISISs locations, and just along Turkeys borders could envelop and trap ISIS to then be whittled down and destroyed just as Syria has been doing to NATOs proxy terrorist forces within its own borders. Whatever the regional outcome may be, the fact is the West has re-invaded Iraq, with a force as brutal, if not worse than the shock and awe doctrine of 2003. Iraq faces another difficult occupation if it cannot summon a response from within, and among its allies abroad, to counter and crush this threat with utmost expediency.

1	The site of a complex, ever-shifting web of alliances among servers, line cooks, hostesses, dishwashers, and managers, the Sheridan Avenue Applebee's is a hotbed of Machiavellian political maneuvering, sources reported Monday. Byzantine machinations churn just out of view of restaurant patrons at this area Applebee's. 'A manager here should employ the strength of a lion and the cunning of a fox,' night manager Roy Mergens said. 'For example, I have curried the favor of the waitstaff by giving them 15-cent raises, simply by eliminating Jorge, the second dishwasher. This will not make me any friends in the kitchen, but it is far more important to keep the front-of-the-house staff happy.' Added Mergens: 'A successful manager is above morality, for the success of the Applebee's franchise is the supreme objective.' Mergens said he hopes that his cost-saving measures will earn him a recommendation for advancement to the executive-manager position at the soon-to-open Pflaum Road Applebee's. 'Prudence consists in knowing how to distinguish degrees of disadvantage and in accepting a lesser evil as a good,' assistant manager Cindy Baggett said. 'To wit: If I remain quiet about Roy's padding of his time card and his claiming credit for my Kahlua Mudslide collector's-mug idea, I am a shoo-in for his position when he leaves.' Baggett and Mergens are just two of 43 employees who take part in the swirling, Byzantine machinations that is life at Applebee's. Every day, hundreds of acts of devious strategizing take place behind the restaurant's placid, service-with-a-smile faade. Italian Statesman Niccol Machiavelli 'The visitor to the Sheridan Avenue Applebee's is none the wiser,' server Liz Schonert said. 'Sipping on their jumbo margaritas and munching on mozzarella sticks, they know nothing of the clandestine pacts that enable some to leave early on slow nights, others to overextend their free-meal benefits, and still others to steal from the walk-in cooler.' These alliances, Schonert said, also determine which forms of scheming, intrigue, and fraud go unreported. 'I have set up a mutually beneficial arrangement between the waitstaff and the bartender, wherein he does not tally a certain percentage of our drinks, and we share our table tips with him,' lead server Jenna Gordon said. 'We have taken great pains, however, to keep the scheme hidden from the hosting staff. In order to remain strong, we must do all that we can to escape the hatred of those who are stronger.' One of the most bitter intra-Applebee's rivalries is the one between the kitchen staff and the front-of-house staff. 'The hateful servers receive all the tips, yet still they castigate us over one missing buffalo-wings platter,' line cook Karl Krug said. 'But on the surface, I am still extremely pleasant to them, so that I do not lose my kitchen-manager position. The use of craft and deceit is acceptable to maintain authority and carry out the policies of a ruler. And my most important policy is that I don't work weekends and don't clean the grease trap.' But for all the intricate dealings, even the most powerful members of the Sheridan Avenue Applebee's crew must kneel before the ultimate authority of regional manager Bob Hundhausen. 'I keep the 22 Applebee's in my district under my thumb by periodically dropping in unannounced during dinner rush,' Hundhausen said. 'It is best for a leader to be both feared and loved. But since this usually cannot be done, it is safer to be feared.' 
2	Geraldo Says Something About The Ferguson Riots That Shocks The Nation Recently, Fox News TV host Geraldo Rivera found himself in some serious trouble after making some extreme comments regarding the controversy in Ferguson, Missouri. The white jurors will look at that convenience store surveillance tape, Rivera began. They will see Michael Brown menacing that clerk. The white jurors will put themselves in the shoes of that clerk. Theyll say, of course the officer responded the way he did he was menaced by a 6-foot 4-inch, 300-pound kid, 10 minutes fresh from a strong armed robbery. The officer was defending himself. The white jurors will put themselves in the white officers place. That may seem reasonable, but its Riverass next position that caused quite the reaction. The black jurors will see Michael Brown despite his flaws as the surrogate for every black youngster ever shot by a cop. Harris Faulker, news show host, decided to issue a rebuttal to Riveras opinion on his show Outnumbered, claiming that Rivera was oversimplifying the issue. What do you think of Riveras comments? 
2	Peyton Manning Was Told Not To Speak About Christianity, So He Does THIS instead Peyton Manning is a quarterback that some believe to be the best NFL quarterbacks of all time. That standing isnt the only controversial thing about the player, who has been repeatedly criticized for his devout Christian beliefs. After some time being kept silent about his religion, he has started to speak out more and more. And perhaps one of Mannings most powerful statements comes from his new book. Below is a passage from the text: For me generally it had always been the big four: faith, family, friends, and football. . . . as important as football is to me, it can never be higher than fourth. My faith has been number one since I was thirteen years old. Some players get more vocal about it . . . and some point to Heaven after scoring a touchdown and praise Godafter games. I have no problem with that. But I dont do it, and dont think it makes me any less a Christian. I just want my actions to speak louder, and I dont want to be more of a target for criticism. What do you think of Mannings statements? Do you support his beliefs?

2	Mike Browns Mother Arrested For Armed Robbery, Faces Felonies [VIDEO] Recently, Mike Browns mother Lesley McSpadden is fighting the media after it was revealed that she lead a group that actually beat and robbed vendors selling Justice for Michael Brown T-Shirts. According to reports, McSpadden led the group in mid-October. One of the vendors was McSpaddens former mother-in-law Pearlie Gordon, Michael Browns grandmother. She was hospitalized after being beaten with a pipe during the incident. Gordon claims that she was approached by McSpadden who yelled, You cant sell this s**t! Still, Gordon argued that unless she could product documentation stating that she had a patent on her sons name, she was going to continue to sell her merchandise. At the end of the struggle, $1,500 in merchandise and $400 in cash was stolen during the robbery. The case has been deemed felony armed robbery, meaning that McSpadden could be facing serious jail time if convicted. 
3	Eight Life Saving Actions for 2017By Julian Rose OK, so youre still with me, and eager to break out of whatever is holding you back. Good. So the first action to take is ask yourself Where do I need to go in my life? and What is holding me back from going there? Give yourself enough time to actually answer these two questions, because without good answers you cant get to action number two. In some cases you might already know where you want to go and you might also have an inkling of what it is that is holding you back. Fine. In this case your next task is to stop prevaricating and simply do it. The time for prevarication is long passed. You can go forwards or backwards, but not hang around in no mans land waiting for the rescue party to winch you out. Action number two is the starting point for a number of practical, pragmatic actions that you must take in order to come alive to a point where you can think clearly, feel good about yourself and get your house in order. Also to enable you to start your role as a member of the resistance. So, action number two concerns what you put in your stomach; from day to day, week to week, month to month and year to year. Food is absolutely fundamental to all our lives, but choosing the right food is equally fundamental to the nourishment of body, mind and spirit. Unless you are nourishing all three you arent moving forward towards the manifestation of your true destiny, nor are you going to be much use to the resistance. And its vital that you join-up with the minimum delay. So you have a choice: go to your closest farmers market, ecological farmer or natural foods store and purchase real food, ecologically grown and minimally processed, packaged and preserved. Make such food the basis of your eating needs from now on, because everything else is killing you. Or, and this is the second option, get involved with a local food cooperative, or similar, and start learning how to grow your own food. This has the advantage of earthing you, a survival factor necessary in this age of gizmo addicted virtual reality, which destroys the ability to be human and to act humanely. Thats youre starting point for all that follows. Leave the issue of a decent diet out and you will have no secure health foundation upon which to take the actions youll need to take in order to turn the tide on the 1% who are your chief oppressors. You will also have taken a deliberate action in supporting the restoration of nature and the environment, by acquiring food grown to a humane and environmentally benign formula. Excellent. Compare that with supporting your nearest dedicated globalist supermarket food and people killer. Taking action to help save the life force of this planet from terminal destruction at the hands of corporate killers, is a key component of your involvement in the resistance. It gets you out of the state of perpetual worrying about yourself, as though your life was the only thing that mattered. Your life does matter, but taking it to the point of obsession is called narcissism and its pretty much an epidemic in affluent and semi-affluent Western World right now. Its a fundamental reason why so little is done to redirect the evolution of this planet. Action number three involves kicking out as many as possible of the toxic elements that form part of your daily home life. For example: the phosphate-enriched washing powder; the sugary synthetic toothpaste; the excessive amount of plastic; the junk food snacks; the TV (mind killer); the Wi-Fi (mind/body killer); the mobile phone (mind/body killer); the microwave oven (mind/body killer); the Smart Meter (mind/body killer) the hard alcohol (mind/body killer). Im not going to produce a definitive list because you can find hundreds of books and websites that do this and Im assuming you wish to take control of your destiny and not have a nanny permanently on hand to change your nappies. Action number four: wake up your spirit! We are all spiritual beings. We all have our origins in this cosmic firmament. All our energies are shared with this amazing universe, from whence we came. But we are blocked. Sometimes by our own lack of motivation and sometimes by forces that wish to prevent our awakening. Usually elements of each of these. But its no use moaning about it and doing nothing to alleviate this crisis of human nature. Action number four involves getting onto the path of creative exigence and developing the intent to become that powerful and courageous being you really are. Now then, I hear you saying Yes, sure, but how on earth does one actually do this? And my reply is: no set formula. No instant fix. However, starting today provides something pretty close to an instant fix. So heres my advice: get your body moving! Run, dance, jump, swim, dig. But whichever you do, do it fully, boldly and enthusiastically. Get out into nature and rejoice that she still exists. Rejoice that you have a life at all that you are so blessed that you are so fortunate. After all you might have come back as a nematode and have a fair bit of work to do to achieve humanness! Give thanks to your Creator for having been given the opportunity to do something valuable on this planet; something creative in this life. Then, so as to go further and enhance the sense of coming alive, which should be getting underway by now if you are following my instruction, start to practice Hatha Yoga, because Hatha Yoga combines all the other activities mentioned above, in one. Clear a space in your now detoxified home for doing this yoga, and you will be amazed how revivified you will feel. How fresh every day seems; how energetic you are becoming. The combination of rhythmic stretching combined with deep breathing provides a powerful means of reconnecting with universal prana (energy). When I was a young man of 24, the commencement of regular sessions of Hatha Yoga opened up a great well of potential within me and also enabled me to see/feel where I wanted to go and how I wanted to get there. It led me directly into joining the resistance. After a gap of around thirty years, I started up again and have been doing one hour every morning for the past ten years. So this brings us to action number five. Now you are becoming increasingly conscious of the values that have turned your life around and how they contrast with your former lifestyle. This is a defining time. Truth is emerging as the goal to pursue in all facets of life, not just while doing yoga and meditation. In order to act on this new awareness, you need to harness your new-found clarity of vision to that which will bring the greatest good to the outside world. Taking actions that will directly counteract the control systems attempt to foster chaos, division, destruction and hate as ruling principles over humanity. This is the moment I declare: welcome to the resistance! The determination to embrace the way of justice and truth in all that matters is the resistance. One cannot become an aware human being until one recognizes the existence of the multi-pronged opposition which exists to humanitys awakening and emancipation. I speak of the forces of repression and centralized control whose web extends into all facets of society all aspects of the status quo. Once aware of this state and awake enough in yourself to recognize its symptoms, it is your duty (our duty) to go out into the world and give full support to counteracting the multifarious destructive deeds being perpetrated on a daily basis by these forces. It should be beyond obvious that they will continue their heinous activities so long as there are no attempts or entirely inadequate attempts to stop them. We are talking about forces that have their origin in a very small percentage of the population of this planet, but that have a multitude of blind followers. Coming forward to expose and block the criminal activities of these tyrants is your service to humanity. To the planet which has raised and nourished you. To your fellow citizens, and to your Creator. That special force which equipped you to be courageous in the face of opposition, but which so many feel inclined to deny. This is the action which will define you as being either a true human, or simply a tepid imitation. It is in this arena that so many good talkers fail to metamorphose into good walkers. So that, in the end, all the talk amounts to nothing. Empty and wasteful are the words that do not translate into deeds. I stress this, as up to now, this is the area of our greatest failing. No one who discovers his/her mental, spiritual and physical powers can turn their backs on the mass injustices of this world and hide themselves away in isolated enclaves. No, not even to pray and meditate for peace. The Resistance is a coming-together of compassionate individuals determined to form a block against the progress of all that undermines the health and vitality of nature, fellow humans, the environment, the animal kingdom and to the sanctity of life itself. Join it now, or remain part of the slide into slavery which guarantees continued support for the powers that be. Action number six also involves, as far as possible, freeing yourself from the system. For a start, giving up the nine-to-five job, unless it is specifically concerned with counteracting the suffering felt by millions unable to cope with the vicious, inhuman demands of a moribund status quo. Now is when you also take another significant step. That of dropping your familiar ties with those who are not prepared to take control of their destinies. This means giving up the easy socializing with family, friends and relations, and fully aligning yourself with the pull of your soul. It is simply not possible to maintain a split life any longer. This does not mean never visiting close family. Sharing love is, of course, never to be decried; but be careful, your new-found spirit energy can easily be stolen unless you watchfully maintain its centrality in all contacts and all realms of daily life. The Seventh Action in your master plan of human emancipation, is to start liberating yourself from all remaining forms of attachment to corporate and government providers. For example, energy corporations; banking institutions; health-care systems and overt reliance on the educational and legal system. You are unlikely to achieve all these in one go, but get started, because soon these institutions are going to fail; and now your actions are going to be about community. Communities forging new and innovative alternatives to the disastrous agenda in which so many remain trapped today. By now you will have ceased thinking it doesnt matter that you are supporting institutions that you know are destroying the planet and the lives of millions of living beings. You will have realized that every action you take is either promoting life or promoting death. Think carefully about it. This phase leads directly into Action Eight; what I call Building the Ark. Because we have to do this. Very soon it will be too late. These arks will be havens of sanity, peace and love amidst a rapidly unraveling state of conventional law and order; a moving into chaotic confusion of much of what we have become accustomed to over the past few decades, as imperfect as it has been. Building the ark is to come together with fellow souls and spirits so as to lay down the foundations of that which will endure and outlive the coming storm. This demands real courage, creativity and commitment. It is, in many respects, a quite brilliant challenge. It consists of putting a long-term stake in the ground. The ground that feels best suited to supporting the successful establishment of this life-saving initiative. It might be that the building of such an ark is already underway near you and that you join this initiative, lending your talents to those of others in growing an extended family of fellow entrepreneurs. But whichever way it happens, you need to be involved in building a way of life in which, at a very minimum, the community sets about growing its own food; running its own renewable energy supply, building its own pro-ecological shelters (if no other housing exists) and developing its own natural medicine dispensary. These are just the preliminary fundamentals. This will best be undertaken in a rural setting, but could be achieved in a village or small town community, using existing housing stock and other adaptable basic support systems. These arks are to be the chief life support systems for humanity within the near future. Certainly within two to three decades. Once established, they will open their doors to others in search of sanctuaries of love, humanity and good will. They will be the life-lines that connect through from a time of disintegration to the building of the World to Come. With enough concentration of positive spiritual energy, these arks will gain higher protection from wanton invaders and cunning parasites. They will become treasures, islands amongst a sea of crumbling icons symbolizing decades of obsessive materialism. Imagine what an honor it will be to be amongst those who helped pioneer this stepping stone to the rebirth of an emancipated, joyous existence. A veritable life-line whose fragile reality will hold the key to the future of humanity as a whole. You will be proud of becoming a beacon of light, guiding others through the passage of times of darkness. You will experience deep joy in witnessing the rising sun whose rays spread out to illuminate a whole new chapter in the evolution of this tribe we call mankind. And dont forget, if you want 2017 to be a decisive turning-point, you need to be both foot soldier of the resistance and a builder of the ark. Both. Yes, both. It can be done. It will be done. So now get on with it. New Years Greetings to one and all. Julian is a resistance front-liner, a builder of arks, pioneer of organic farming, writer and actor. He is President of The International Coalition to Protect the Polish Countryside. He is the author of two acclaimed titles: Changing Course for Life and In Defense of Life, details of which can be found on www.julianrose.info Image Credit 40 acres and a mule. Instead of yoga, you might try Chi Gong, Tai Chi Chuan, Daoist/Buddhist Meditation techniques both active and passive; they are more dynamic and will help to open the eight internal meridians of your being that have been made dormant. Realize your supernatural tools and make contact with your essence of mind. Commit to these actions as part of Daoist thought (Quantum Mechanics) which is pretty much the philosophy of the above article. Your mind is your weapon and you are creating a spiritual warrior by merging the body/mind/spirit into a harmonized unit. Realize that the physical and the spirit are not different by using your mind to assemble a different view point from which to operate. You are the creator, their is no external god separate from your higher Self. You chose to be here, your parents were merely a vehicle for your arrival. Love your life and the life that is all of the creating energy around and within you. You are already immortal, stop wasting your time claiming belief and be the god you are. Useful tip PW. However the warrior also goes into battle with that which is invading sacred territory. You think those who write their comments are passive? How would you know? Become healthier to prepare for the revolutionYES. No matter how limited our ability to acquire hard assets we can all do something to be stronger. Very honest yet encouraging article. Bravo! Great Points, all. I am curious to know whether the writer knows even 2 people who manifest the points he is making and are successfully manifesting this joyous existence while actively being part of the Resistance? Id also add, importantly, that there continues to be a genuine shortage of kindness, empathy and compassion toward others. We know that acts of kindness reduce stress and make one feel connected to Life. What is preventing conscious folks from acting with more kindness? Id also ask whether this writer is conscious of how many Warriors in the Resistance he calls for have been seriously destroyed and harmed by the heinous forces he describes, and how little has been done to protect them by the media and people in a position to be of assistance. We can remember the DNC worker who was murdered while waiting to meet the FBI during the summer of 2016, as well as many other whistleblowers snuffed out as they tried to expose wrongdoing. That these powerful Elite have groupies is no surprise, and that is a different consensus. So, congratulations for putting many important issues together, and please let us know if you know even 2 people who have effected these changes while remaining active in the Resistance. See Janus, Ha, ha, fair question. I do know such people, but certainly agree that they are thin on the ground. What is critical here, is nurturing into beng enough spirit power so that it can act as a shield against back stabbing, mind controling, or any such attempts to snuff ones life. It is tragic that so many whistle blowers have been killed. These are truly brave souls and deserve better. But their work never goes in vain. The ripples that they cause, spread and others take up the torch. Life is more powerful than death and those who give their lives in this way are rewarded in cosmic evolutionary terms. Thus awareness grows, incrementally. Kindness is a quality everyone should foster, but wisdom is often harsh and stern witness nature. Keep up the good work and sentiments. Yes, I am conscious of the spirit power, but in a world of zombies and groupies, it may be an overstatement to even say thin on the ground. The fear and apathy factors seem almost insurmountable. However, by printing articles such as you have, you may inspire and/or support even a small number, and that has inestimable value, perhaps in ways we cannot know. If you learn what books inspired Mao and Hitler, it may surprise you. On the other hand, look at what books inspired Dr. Sun yat-Sen!! 
3	Subprime auto loans crisisBy Michael Snyder According to Equifax, an astounding 23.5 percent of all new auto loans were made to subprime borrowers in 2015. At this point, there is a total of somewhere around $200 billion in subprime auto loans floating around out there, and many of these loans have been repackaged and sold to investors. I know all of this sounds a little too close for comfort to what happened with subprime mortgages the last time around. We never seem to learn from our mistakes, and a lot of investors are going to end up paying the price. Everything would be fine if the number of subprime borrowers not making their payments was extremely low. And that was true for a while, but now delinquency rates and default rates are rising to levels that we havent seen since the last recession. The following comes fromTIME magazine People, especially those with shaky credit, are having a tougher time than usual making their car payments. According to Bloomberg, almost 5% of subprime car loans that were bundled into securities and sold to investors are delinquent, and the default rate is even higher than that. (Depending on whos counting, delinquency is up to three or four months behind in payments; default is what happens after that). At just over 12% in January, the default rate jumped one entire percentage point in just a month. Both delinquency and default rates are now the highest theyve been since 2010, when the ripple effects of the recession still weighed heavily on many Americans finances. The chart below wasposted by David Stockman, and it shows how the delinquency rate for subprime borrowers has hit the highest level since 2009. In fact, we are not too far away from totally smashing through the previous highs that were set during the last crisis It is quite foolish to try to sell expensive cars to people with bad credit. This is especially true now that the economy is slowing down significantly in many areas. But people are greedy and they are going to do what they are going to do. The most disturbing thing to me is that many of these loans are being repackaged and sold off to investors as solid investments. The following description of what has been happening comes from Wolf Richter The business of repackaging these loans, including subprime and deep-subprime loans, into asset backed securities has also been booming. These ABSare structured with different tranches, so that the highest tranches the last ones to absorb any losses can be stamped with high credit ratings and offloaded to bond mutual funds designed for retail investors. Deep-subprime borrowers are high-risk. Typically they have credit scores below 550. To make it worth everyones while, they get stuffed into loans often with interest rates above 20%. To make payments even remotely possible atthese rates, terms are often stretched to 84 months. Borrowers are typically upside down in their vehicle: the negative equity of their trade-in, along with title, taxes, and license fees, and a hefty dealer profit arerolled into the loan. When the lender repossesses the vehicle, losses add up in a hurry. It almost makes you want to tear your hair out. This is exactly the kind of thing that caused so much chaos with subprime mortgages. When will we ever learn? Meanwhile, we continue to get even more numbers that indicate that a substantial economic slowdown has already begun We just got the clearest sign yet that something is wrong with the US economy. Markit Economics monthly flash services purchasing managers index, a preliminary reading on the sector, fell into contraction for the first time in over two years. The tentative February index was reported Wednesday at 49.8. Statistic after statistic is telling us that a new recession is already here. And of course some would argue that the last recession never actually ended. According to John Williams of shadowstats.com, the U.S. economy has continually been in contraction mode since 2005. If we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. All over the world, non-performing loans are starting to become a major problem, and already some financial institutions are starting to get tighter with credit. As credit conditions tighten up, this is going to cause economic activity to slow down even more. And as economic activity slows down, it is going to become even harder for ordinary people to make their debt payments. Deflationary forces are on the rise, and most global central banks are just about out of ammunition at this point. Everyone knew that the global debt bubble could not keep expanding much faster than the overall rate of economic growth forever. It was only a matter of time until the bubble burst. Now we can see signs of crisis popping up all around us, and things are only going to get worse in the months ahead Image Credit Michael Snyder is a writer, speaker and activist who writes and edits his own blogs The American Dream and Economic Collapse Blog.

In the USA if you lose your car, you are dead in the water. Your employment opportunities become negligible and you cant move to a better place. Glad I listened. Cars are cool but a bad investment unless you can keep it running your entire life.

3	12 Gold Bugs Bring Christmas CheerJeff Clark Its a tad puzzling that gold hasnt broken into new highs, despite enough catalysts to move a herd of stubborn mules. But thats the hand were dealt right now. We cant get up from the table until the game reaches its conclusion. Besides, I think the stall in prices is giving us one last window to buy before prices break permanently into higher levels for this cycle. At least thats how a number of prominent investors and institutions are viewing the price action right now. Heres a sampling of this years gold bugs and what theyve been doing about precious metals recently. Jim Rogers, billionaire and cofounder of the Soros Quantum Fund, publicly stated last month that he plans to sell federal debt and purchase more gold and silver. George Soros increased his investment in GLD by a whopping 49% last quarter, to 1.32 million shares. His stake is now worth over $221 million. Many investors dont realize that he also placed call options on GDX worth $9 million. The most logical explanation is that he thinks gold equities are undervalued and that theres big money to be made in them within a year. Brent Johnson, a San Francisco hedge-fund manager, believed in gold so much that he started his own gold fund, Santiago Capital, earlier this year. His latest video points out that there have been 278 global easing moves in the last 14 months. How does someone not own gold in that kind of environment? Don Coxe, a highly respected global commodities strategist, stated at the Denver Gold Forum that now is the best climate I have ever seen for an increase in gold prices. He told fund managers, mining analysts, and mining executives to prepare for significantly higher gold prices and thus higher gold-mining-stock valuations. The opportunities ahead are the best Ive seen. He thinks a new gold rush is ahead for gold stocks, and that a lustrous rally will occur within a year. Jeffrey Gundlach, cofounder of DoubleLine Capital, predicts that deeply indebted countries and companies will default sometime after 2013. Central banks may forestall these defaults by pumping even more money into the economy but at the risk of higher inflation in coming years. He recommends buying hard assets including gold, and also gold-mining firms because we consider them to be bargains. Rob McEwen, CEO of McEwen Mining and founder of Goldcorp, is buying precious metals because he believes gold will someday hit $5,000 and silver $200. Savneet Singh, a former investment analyst at Morgan Stanley, was frustrated with the options available to acquire physical gold in an allocated, whole-bar format outside the banking system. He started Gold Bullion International, the platform service used by the Hard Assets Alliance, a service that virtually does away with the need to buy GLD. This is only a handful of individual investors who have made recent news with their bullion buying. But institutions, governments, and others are participating, too Central Banks These data suggest in and of themselves that dips in the gold price are likely being bought and will continue to be bought by central banks. Theyre not exactly short-term traders. Remember, central banks were net sellers as recently as 2009, so this reversal will likely play out for years. India. I tire of the reports that proclaim something like, Indian buying dropped this month! Lets be clear about India and gold: Imports have more than doubled in three years (through 2011), and investment demand has climbed almost fivefold. And all this occurred while prices were rising and from a nation that already has a strong cultural predisposition towards the metal. Further, silver demand is taking off: sales have jumped 24% this year over last. There is some government interference, but no slump in demand in India. This trend will continue and may even strengthen when inflation begins making front-page headlines. Germany. A precious-metals group recently reported that Germans are increasingly buying gold because of fears about economic uncertainty, and that a third of citizens are now considering gold as part of their investments. There has been a significant increase in demand in recent months because of worry about actions taken by the European Central Bank and US Federal Reserve, as the two central banks seek to counter the euro zone crisis and slow US economic growth. Commercial Banks Eric Sprott recently wrote: If the Basel Committee decides to grant gold a favourable liquidity profile under its proposed Basel III framework, it will open the door for gold to compete with cash and government bonds on bank balance sheets and provide banks with an asset that actually has the chance to appreciate. Given that US Treasury bonds pay little to no yield today, if offered the choice between the liquidity trifecta of cash, government bonds or gold to meet Basel III liquidity requirements, why wouldnt a bank choose gold? Well be watching the news on this topic. We can all speculate about when the next leg up for gold will kick in, but the point for now is to take advantage of the weakness, like many of these gold bugs. When the price breaks out of its trading range, are you sure you wont wish youd bought a little more? I say give you and your loved ones a lasting Christmas gift and call your favorite bullion dealer. Now is a great time to give yourself another gift one that will make next years holiday season even brighter. Theres currently an anomaly in the metals market that can bring astute investors life-changing gains. Learn more about it and get started today. linkwithin_text=Related Articles:

North Korea has been threatening South Korea, the United States and our allies with the launch of a nuclear attack. Recent satellite footage has also shown suspicious activity at a nuclear facility in North Korea. China remains as North Koreas ally, though they did agree to enforce stricter sanctions on the country. Watch the full report below and tell us what you think.

1	Citing the pairs apparent lack of regular communication and a general sense they had grown apart, bridal party sources confirmed Friday that Lindsay Kirkpatricks maid of honor, Allison Weiler, isnt even all that good of friends with the bride, at least not since they were in college and even then you wouldnt have said they were best friends or anything. Alli? Really? Alli lives in Denver and they see each other like twice a year, said Jess, 27, a reportedly super-close friend of Kirkpatricks, who went on to add that, yes, Lindsay obviously has a solid friendship with Alli, especially since they studied abroad together in Barcelona, but in the years since they graduated Jess, Kate, and Linds have become extremely close, noting that all three just went to New Orleans for a friends weekend and Linds never even mentioned inviting Alli. Allis great, sure. And itll be so good to see her. But maid of honor? Am I missing something? I seriously dont even remember the last time Linds brought her up in conversation. Lindsay talks to Tina more than Alli. Bridal party sources added, I mean, Tina. 
2	Taya Kyle Addresses Gun Control Issue With Obama [VIDEO] Taya Kyle, American Sniper Chris Kyles widow, recently confronted President Barack Obama regarding the effectiveness of gun control legislation. I dont know that any of them would have been stopped by a background check, Kyle commented, regarding those who have committed mass shootings. So I think part of it we have to recognize is we cannot outlaw murder. Because the people who are murdering are breaking the law, but they also dont have the moral code that we have. So they can do the same amount of damage with a pipe bomb. The problem is that they want to murder. Kyle also went on to note that we were at the lowest murder rate in our country at the same time we are at an all time high for gun ownership. Why not celebrate were we are? Kyle asked the president. First of all, thanks to your husband for his service and thank you for your service. Because its extraordinary heroism that he and your family have shown, Obama responded. And Im very grateful for that. Number two, he continued, What you said about murder rates and violent crime generally is something we dont celebrate enough. The fact of the matter is that violent crime has been steadily declining across America for a pretty long time. And you wouldnt always know it from watching television. I challenge the notion that the reason for that is that there is more gun ownership, Obama commented. Because if you look at where the areas are with the highest gun ownership, those are the place that the crime hasnt dropped down that much. In the same way that we dont eliminate all traffic accidents but over the course of 20 years traffic accidents get lower, Obama concluded, thats the same thing we can do with gun ownership. What do you think? Are you glad Taya is challenging Obama on his ludicrous policies? 
2	Controversy After NFL Player Does Muslim Prayer In Game, See How The League Reacts Recently, Kansas City Chiefs player Husain Abdullah made headlines after he was penalized for performing a Muslim prayer on the field. After making a touchdown against the New England Patriots, the player took to both knees. Now, some critics are comparing the display to Tebowing, the action taken by Tim Tebow after he does something incredible on the field. Tebow has been openly Christian both on and off the field, and has often received criticism for it. Some are comparing him to Husain Abdullah, who is known for being an openly Muslim NFL player. In fact, Abdullah once missed an entire seasons so that he could make a pilgrimage to Mecca. But his public display was not well-received by the organization. His moment of prayer resulted in a flag being thrown for unsportsmanlike behavior. A 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty was given out as a result. The NFL was following a rule that prohibits players from engaging in any celebrations while on the ground. What do you think? Did Abdullah deserve to be penalized for his actions? 
3	What Bush Did With Iraq Obama Is Doing With Syria Says Russian MPArjun Walia Obama is fiercely moving towards war in Syria, just like Bush moved towards war in Iraq. Just like in Iraq, this war wont be legit and Obama will become Bushs clone, Pushkov wrote on his Twitter page on Sunday (3)(0) Iran has also warned against military intervention in Syria, voicing concerns that it would result in a conflict that would engulf the whole region. Iran foreign ministry spokesman, Abbas Araqchi has expressed that Iran is ready to defend Assad. They are strongly warning against any military attack in Syria, emphasizing that there will be consequences that would not be restricted to Syria, but for the whole region. Iran is an ally of Syria, and this comes as no surprise as the United States and Israel have attempted to manufacture an excuse for military intervention in Iran. Weve seen this in the past with the accusations of a nuclear weapons program being developed in Iran. Is it a coincidence that these countries are the only ones that do not have a Rothschild central bank? Im not denying the chemical attack in Syria, but I think its very important to be open to the possibility that the United States was privy to this information before it occurred, that they had a hand in creating the conflict necessary to justify a military intervention, and that they sacrificed the lives of so many as they have done before in order to move forward with their agendas. International media has reported this over and over again as a fact (1)(0), but corporate media has not even brought up that possibility, they are instead reporting the exact opposite. Four-star United States general Wesley Clark alluded to the fact that this was all planned. The Russian Foreign Ministry also called reports of chemical weapon use a provocation, adding that, according to its data, the materials accusing the Syrian government of the atrocity were prepared ahead of the alleged incident actually taking place. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Washington and its allies would be repeating past mistakes if they intervened in Syria(2). Its similar to the time when 9/11 was used to justify the intervention of Iraq. The same ones creating the problem are proposing the solution to push their agenda forward. Here is more info to suggest that the interventionists approved the attack before it happened, although news coming out of Russia is more credible, a primary source straight from the horses mouth. Syria has denied the use of chemical weapons on its own people, saying that this is a ridiculous accusation, citing that the Syrian government would never attack its own people. So where are these attacks coming from? How many people will have to lose their lives as a result of orchestrated events? Its time we stop believing the explanations that global corporate media feeds us on a daily basis. There is evidence to suggest that Syrian rebels manufactured chemical weapons outside of Damascus(1). Again I would like to reiterate that the Russian Foreign Ministry has told us that the chemical attack was prepared ahead of the alleged incident actually taking place, and that it was not orchestrated by the Syrian government. So what exactly are we witnessing here? We are witnessing alleged chemical attacks from the Syrian government on its own people. These accusations (again) come straight from Time Warner, Walt Disney, Viacom, News Corporation, CBS and NBC Universal basically the entire mass mainstream media. The major shareholders of these corporations are the same shareholders of big oil, big pharma and big food; so, ask yourself, who are you putting your trust in? All other sources around the world are providing proof and reporting that the Syrian government was not responsible for releasing the chemical weapon attack, and that the attack was instead manufactured from the same forces that want to intervene! Given everything thats happening in the Middle East, and the involvement of the US and Israel, I do not see how one can believe mainstream media outlet explanations for what is occurring. People in the Western world see people dying, and are shown horrific proof of that, but the explanation behind the whole phenomenon is manufactured, programmed into us and we tend to believe it without every questioning it. Military intervention in the Middle East comes right after a conflict that would justify such action. Creating a conflict to justify an action is exactly what the controlling elite do. They create an event, manufacture the consent of the masses and then push forward with their initially desired agenda. So many events are occurring on our planet, they continue to provide the chance for us to wake up and see what is really happening here. This whole concept of violence and war no longer serves us, and those that wish to continue creating it seem to continue pushing forward. The ultimate goal here is to create a possible World War III, similar to the way World War I and II were created so that the elite could benefit from it. If your source of information for conflict in the Middle East is mainstream media, you should truly consider looking elsewhere. None of what is happening in the Middle East is necessary and many desire for it to stop. The problem is that many people on the planet believe in different explanations for the conflict. There is no Israel, there is no Russia, there is no United States. There are only a handful of multinational corporations and financial institutions that collude to create events and then present them in a certain fashion in order to manipulate our perception. Its difficult to know what is actually happening, but its not difficult to know that it is part of an agenda that the elite have been planning for many years. Every day more people are starting to believe that politicians are just puppets that exist to serve the corporations and financial institutions that own the government. Are politicians like Obama really making the decisions? Or is he simply the one being used to push these decisions forward? One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If weve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. The bamboozle has captured us. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

3	Thanks To Obamacare, Employer-Based Health Insurance Is Becoming An Endangered SpeciesMichael Snyder If you go back to 1999, 64.1 percent of all Americans were covered by employment-based health insurance. That was pretty good. Today, only 54.9 percent of all Americans are covered by employment-based health insurance, and now thousands upon thousands of U.S. employers are considering reducing the scope of the health plans they offer to employees or eliminating them altogether due to Obamacare. If you are thinking that this sounds like a potential nightmare for millions of Americans families, you would be exactly right. There have already been widespread reports of companies dropping health insurance, but nobody knows for sure how widespread the carnage will be. According to Businessweek, the surveys that have been done up to this point have come up with widely varying results A Deloitte study last year suggested 10 percent of employers would stop offering group health plans. A widely criticized McKinsey report from 2011 put the number as high as one-third. The Congressional Budget Offices latest projections suggest 8 million fewer people will be covered by employer plans five years from now under the ACA than without it. Many of them will get policies through health insurance exchanges instead. The nations largest provider of security guards plans to discontinue its lowest-cost health plans and steer roughly 55,000 workers to new government-sponsored insurance exchanges for coverage next year, in the latest sign of the fraying ties between employment and health care. The U.S. arm of Swedens Securitas AB is among more than 1,200 employers that offer the kind of bare-bones health plans that must be phased out beginning Jan. 1 under the health-care law. Nearly four million people are enrolled in these so-called mini-med plans, which cap benefits to participants, sometimes at as little as $3,000 a year. The mini-meds go away and were not replacing them, said Jim McNulty, a spokesman for Securitass U.S. operation. Their option is to go to the exchanges. Other big employers, including Darden Restaurants Inc., Home Depot Inc. and Trader Joes Co., say they will stop offering health insurance to part-time workers, and will direct those employees to the state exchanges. Darden, Home Depot and Trader Joes previously offered mini-meds to their part timers. Speaking of Trader Joes, I wrote about how they are eliminating health coverage for part-time workersthe other day. Instead of providing health insurance for their part-time workers, Trader Joes will be writing them a check and pushing them on to the Obamacare exchanges Trader Joes, the grocer once lauded for providing health care coverage to its part-time workers, is about to push those employees off its plan. According toa memo obtained by the Huffington Post, the company will stop coveringemployees who work less than 30 hours per week. The change is set for the start of 2014.Instead of insurance, workers instead will get a check for $500 in January. And this is a huge reason why the shift from full-time work to part-time work in America has accelerated this year. Obamacare creates an incentive for companies to have more part-time workers and less full-time workers. In fact, almost all of the jobs that have been created by the U.S. economy in 2013 have been part-time jobs. But it is incredibly difficult to try to support a family on a part-time job. Sadly,the quality of our jobs continues to decline rapidly and only 47 percent of all adults have a full-time job in America today. This is only going to continue to get even worse under Obamacare. As a result of these trends, more Americans are going to be forced to go out and buy health insurance on the individual market. When they do, they are likely to be in for a really nasty surprise Andy and Amy Mangione of Louisville, Ky. and their two boys are just the kind of people who should be helped by ObamaCare. But they recently got a nasty surprise in the mail. When I saw the letter when I came home from work, Andy said, describing the large red wording on the envelope from his insurance carrier, (it said) your action required, benefit changes, act now. Of course I opened it immediately. It had stunning news. Insurance for the Mangiones and their two boys,which they bought on the individual market, was going to almost triple in 2014 from $333 a month to $965. The insurance carrier made it clear the increase was in order to be compliant with the new health care law. Are you ready to have your health insurance premiums potentially double or triple? In other cases, families are discovering that health insurance companies are simplycancelling their health insurance plans Across the country, insurers are sending out ObamaCare-induced health plan death notices to untold tens of thousands of other customers in the individual market. Twitter users are posting their ObamaCare cancellation notices and accompanying rate increases: Linda Deright posted her letter from Regency of Washington state: 63 percent jump, old policy of 15 yrs. cancelled. Karen J. Dugan wrote: Received same notice from Blue Shield CA for our small business. Driving into exchange and no info since online site is down. Chris Birk wrote: Got notice from BCBS that my current health plan is not ACA compliant. New plan 2x as costly for worse coverage. Small-business owner Villi Wilson posted his letter from HMSA Blue Cross Blue Shield canceling his individual plan and added: I thought Obama said if I like my health care plan I can keep my health care plan. In fact, this even happened to one member of Congress.U.S. Representative Cory Gardner had purchased health insurance on his own because he wanted to experience what his constituents were going through, and he recently got a letter informing him that his old plan had been discontinued After my current plan is discontinued, he wrote last week, the closest comparable plan through our current provider will cost over 100 percent more, going from roughly $650 a month to $1,480 per month. He now carries his ObamaCare cancellation notice with him as hardcore proof of the Democrats ultimate deception. Is this what Obama was talking about when he promised that we could keep our old health insurance plans if we were happy with them? In the end, millions upon millions of us are going to get pushed on to the Obamacare health insurance exchanges. We were promised that there would be lots of competition and that prices would be reasonable. Unfortunately, in some areas of the country it turns out that the exchanges are turning out to be monopolies where consumerswill only have one company to choose from Although seven insurance companies currently operate in North Carolina, under the new Obamacare exchanges, those options will dwindle down to one in the majority of counties, Ellmers said Thursday following the disclosure of figures by federal health officials showing that more than 60 percent of North Carolina counties will have only one insurance provider option under Obamacare: Blue Cross Blue Shield. The whole point of an online marketplace was to provide options, so North Carolinians could go online, compare prices, and choose plans from different companies. That is how competition is supposed to work!, Ellmers said. Beginning October 1 under Obamacare, Blue Cross Blue Shield will be the only health insurance provider serving the entire state of North Carolina in the new Obamacare exchanges, serving all 100 of the states counties. Its competitor Coventry Health Care, which is owned by Aetna, will only reach 39 counties. That leaves 61 counties, or 61 percent of all the states counties, in a Blue Cross Blue Shield-only zone. Not only that, but a lot of these exchanges are not even going to be ready to function properly on October 1st. For example, according to the Washington Post, the D.C. health marketplace is a complete and total mess at this point Just days away from launch, the District of Columbias health marketplace is announcing a pretty significant delay. While the D.C. Health Link will launch a Web site on October 1, shoppers will not have access to the their premium prices until mid-November. The delay comes after the District marketplace discovered a high error rate in calculating the tax credits that low- and middle-income people will use to purchase insurance on the marketplace. The insurance marketplaces, if working as plan, are supposed to spit out an estimate for a tax credit after a shopper enters in some basic information about where she lives and how much she earns. In the District, that wont happen next month. Instead, the eligibility determination will be made off-line by experts by early November. So who is going to benefit from this new system? Well, it turns out that the health insurance companies will greatly benefit. Health insurance companies helped write Obamacare, and their stock prices have absolutely soared since Obamacare was signed into law. If you doubt this, just check out the amazing charts in this article. Not that they were hurting under the old system either. They have been raking in gigantic mountains of cash for years while trying to provide as little health care as possible. For much more on this, please see my previous article entitled 50 Signs That The U.S. Health Care System Is A Gigantic Money Making Scam. For the rest of us, Obamacare is going to be even worse than the old system. A 2013 Health Care Survey that polled 200 top health care professionals discovered the following about what they believe Obamacare will bring 53 percent, Quality of health insurance policies will suffer. So Americans are going to pay more, get worse care, have more paperwork and a more complicated system, and they are likely to die younger too? Wow, that sounds like a great deal. Where do we sign up?

1	According to sources inside the seating booth section, a Whaler consumed during Monday's lunch-hour rush is 'not sitting too good' inside area man Don Turnbee. Don Turnbee composes himself moments after finishing his lunchtime Whaler, a processed fish-product sandwich distributed by Burger King. The 'Whaler,' a popular, processed fish-product sandwich distributed by the Burger King restaurant chain, was purchased by Turnbee at one of the fast-food giant's many convenient area locations. 'Urggh...' a visibly ill-at-ease Turnbee said, tenderly patting his distressed abdominal region. 'Urrp... Whoo, boy...' The sandwich, originally some form of aquatic life that was netted; chopped; flash-frozen into a rectanguloid; deep-fried and breaded in batter; shipped across America on trucks; and stored for several days, was finally microwaved to perfection before not sitting too good at its newest location within Turnbee. 'Man, oh man,' he added. 'I shouldn't have put on that extra tartar sauce.' The Whaler episode marks the 15th incident of mild gastrointestinal distress in Turnbee's recent dietary history. It comes on the heels of last weekend's media-dubbed 'Pizza Roll Sunday,' during which he felt slightly gassy and required several Rolaids tablets, as well as a 12-ounce of bottle of Kaopectate purchased at a late-night Conveni-Weenie Gas 'N' Snak, which Turnbee visited in an overcoat and pajamas. Though reports indicate that Turnbee also rented a videotaped copy of The Nutsy Goofheads at this time, the rental is considered by most sources to have 'little relevance' to his ongoing stomach upset difficulties. 'Oof, I'll tell ya,' Turnbee told reporters. Despite Turnbee's stomach distress, doctors say the Whaler incident is 'no cause for alarm.' 'This whole Whaler thing should blow over before you know it,' gastroenterologist Gary Muncie said. 'I've known the Turnbees for years, and if you ask me, what Don really needs is a little more exercise. Get the circulation moving, breathe a little fresh air. I'd say 15 to 20 minutes of light exercise would do wonders for him. Of course, scraping off a little of that mayo couldn't hurt, either.' Despite the optimistic medical prognosis, Turnbee is expected to experience slight discomfort well into tomorrow. Though his co-workers at Panama Bob's Office Supply Outlet Depot store are aware of Turnbee's condition, due to his repeated post-lunch exclamations of 'Sheesh!' and 'Whoah, nellie!' while shifting slightly in his work chair, most were not terribly concerned, feeling confident in his ability to weather the crisis. 'Don's a veteran eater,' said co-worker Stan Bluford. 'A couple of weeks of fried chicken, and he'll be right back on the horse.' 
1	Police were led on a reckless, high-speed pursuit past more than a dozen of downtown Philadelphia's most historically fascinating locations Tuesday, when an armed assailant hijacked a tour bus full of elderly retirees visiting from Cincinnati. 'The suspect took command of the vehicle at Chestnut Street, home to Philadelphia's famous Carpenter's Hall, where the First Continental Congress met, and then fled north in the southbound lane of Sixth Street towards the Liberty Bell,' said police commissioner Charles H. Ramsey, adding that the driver would have gotten a great view of Independence Hall at sunset had he had not careened off Walnut Street at 45 mph. 'He then led police past several Victorian homes, including Edgar Allen Poe's residence from 1838 to 1844, where he penned such classics as the 'The Pit and the Pendulum' and 'The Tell-Tale Heart.'' Police reports indicate the chase ended when the tour bus jumped a curb, slammed into a cheesesteak stand, and exploded in a ball of flames. 
3	Big Pharma Company Buys Patent Rights to Life-Saving Drug and Raises Price by 5,000 PercentBy Andrew Emett After purchasing the rights to a drug that prevents infections in people with weakened immune systems, including AIDS patients and cancer survivors undergoing chemotherapy, a pharmaceutical company has raised the price of the drug by 5,000%. Instead of paying $13.50 per pill, patients with life-threatening illnesses are now forced to pay $750 per pill. Led by a former hedge fund manager, Turing Pharmaceuticals was founded by Martin Shkreli after his first startup biotech company, Retrophin, ousted him last year amid accusations of stock impropriety. Shortly after founding Turing Pharmaceuticals, Shkreli secured the exclusive rights to sell Daraprim (pyrimethamine), which helps prevent malaria and treats toxoplasmosis. According to the CDC, toxoplasmosis isthe second most common foodborne disease andcan easily infect people whose immune systems have been weakened by AIDS, chemotherapy, or even pregnancy. Approximately 60 million people in the U.S. carry the Toxoplasma parasite. Exposure to the parasite can occur by eating undercooked meat, cooking with contaminated knives and boards, drinking unclean water, or contact with infected cat feces. A report from the Prime Institute at theUniversity of Minnesota found that the average cost of brand-name medications rose 13% in 2013. According to the report, new cancer drugs routinely cost over $100,000 a year, while a new hepatitis drug called Sovaldi costs $84,000 for only three months of treatment. Instead of directly addressing the inordinate price hike, Turing Pharmaceuticals sent out a press release on Friday acknowledging that some healthcare facilities have encountered challenges securing DARAPRIM (pyrimethamine) for patients diagnosed with toxoplasmosis. Our number one priority is to ensure that all patients diagnosed with toxoplasmosis have an efficient and affordable means to access Daraprim, stated Turings Chief Commercial Officer, Nancy Retzlaff. As soon as we learned that some hospitals and clinics were having trouble accessing the product, we developed an immediate corrective plan to ensure quick, efficient access for patients in need. The trouble patients have in accessing the product is due to the recent price gouge. Even patients whose insurance plans require them to cover20% of the cost still have to pay at least $150 per pill. Nowhere in the press release does Turing Pharmaceuticals justify raising the cost of the drug by 5,000%. Instead of displaying an ounce of compassion for patients with life-threatening diseases, pregnant mothers, and organ donor recipients, Martin Shkreli appears to be running Turing Pharmaceuticals like a reckless hedge fund manager. Besides acquiring the rights to Daraprim, Turing has also picked up a hypertension drug that Shkreli believes could treat autism. Turing is also reportedly working on a nasal spray containing oxytocin and ketamine for treating depression. Image Credit Andrew Emett writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com All crimes against humanity, including economic crimes against humanity, must be prosecuted. Normaly, we love profits and we even consider that making profit is a succes. Just prices, just wages, and the elimination of usury and swindling are not too much to ask. What is the motive to develop new things? I love the idea, but it seems fatally flawed. Google/Youtube: gift economy, gerrilla gardening, vertical gardening, raw vegan , vegetarian elite Soldiers sacrifice their lives not for profit but out of duty; athletes excel for glory. Scholars and artists do their best not for profits but for the intrinsic rewards that come with knowledge and creativity. The most celebrated individuals in history were not motivated by profits, from Jesus to Dr. King to Mother Teresa. The motive to develop new things is rooted in the same innate impulse which causes children to endless innovate in their play: creativity is its own reward. Forcing all human activity into the narrow mold of profit-making ignores the urges which motivate saints and poets, parents and teachers every day. Criminal Usury, the same old song. Assuming the inventor didnt sell the patent outright and as per the article only licensed exclusive rights to this manufacturer The inventor could have helped prevent this outrageous increase by: 1) offering ONLY a non-exclusive license (so he or she could license others to make and sell the drug, thus providing for competition) 2) putting end-user price increase restrictions on the manufacturers product, which if exceeded would either void the license entirely, or turn the exclusive license into a non-exclusive one. Or better yet, the legislator should not offer exclusive rights. How about a simple law mandating that the price of any drug cannot be more than 10% of the cost of production and delivery? It is unlikely a drug would not be produced if guaranteed a 10% profit, a number that could be adjusted if necessary. Drug companies exploit the research done by the NIH at public expense, the court system which guarantees property rights, and other aspects of the commons to make a profit. Where there is genuine competition, the market can set the price but where a monopoly exists (including cartels), the government has an obligation to prevent price gouging by setting reasonable but attractive limits on profits. Sounds good except setting limits on profits of a private company is communistic in nature. There needs to be a federal law restricting ALL corporations to a maximum 25% profit above overhead. Thats communism. Your point is, (if you have a defensible one)? A lot of good men died fighting against that evil scourge. We intend to keep it out of America. That looked more like totalitarian dictatorship under the guise communism. I would have cranked the price up by 10,000%. Why not make those losers who are desperate pay for their condition. Why cater to the sick and unhealthy. They are a drag on society. Morris Fishbein would be proud. Capitalism is a death culture. Profits from the distress or death of others feeds capitalist to demand more of the same. Who cares? For every petroleum based synthetic drug on the market there are ten natural substances that actually assist in repairing the body leading to the cure. 
2	AntiEarlier this week, Deport Racism, the amnesty-advocate group that released a video showing children yelling profanities at Donald Trump, just offered a $5,000 cash reward to anyone who insults Trump during Saturday Night Live. The group is specifically calling for an audience member to scream Trump is a racist. Its 2016, and Trump needs to hear that you cant win the White House without the brown vote, Santiago Cejudo, and organizer for the group, told reporters. Were hoping the $5,000 will help people on set or in the studio audience find the bravery to speak out loudly and help focus the national conversation on that we need to deport racism, not people. The group highlights a common misconception that opposition to illegal immigration is racism. In fact, it is a respect for the law and a dislike of crime. Keep this in mind: illegal immigrants are criminal by default. On top of that, they were responsible for more than a third of federal prison sentences last year. This isnt a problem that is made up by racists. Its reality. Does this group need to be punished for their actions?

After an ongoing battle with Donald Trump and media backlash for attacking a ten year older, its been revealed that Rosies own daughter refused to celebrate Christmas with her this year. Rosie posted a picture of herself celebrating Christmas with four of her five children online. Her 19-year-old daughter Chelsea was noticeably missing. Rosie did not mention that in her caption under the pictures of Parker, Blake, Vivienne and Dakota. But she didnt have to. Her daughters own social media posts told the store. Chelsea reportedly spent Christmas with her new husband Nicholas Alliegro, who posted a photo of themselves together last week. Throwback from last Christmas, its been a long crazy year and a lot has happened ups downs in-between lol but I love you Chelsea and theres NO one Id rather go through this crazy life with then you I will always have your back no matter what and theres nothing that could ever get in the way of that ever, he wrote. Chelsea responded to his post, also saying it has been filled with ups and downs. Chelsea and Nicholas reportedly got married this past July. Rosie learned of her daughters marriage when she called the hospital to check up on her and was informed they could only release the information to her husband. 
2	Sadie Robertson Makes MAJOR Announcement Amidst Scandal... She Needs Your Support Sadie Robertson has been known for her Christian values, and now she is speaking out about forgiveness, particularly when it comes to the Duggar family. If they can forgive him, it will all work out, Robertson told People magazine. Josh Duggar, the eldest son in the family, recently entered a long-term treatment facility after he was exposed as a member of Ashley Madison, the dating network for extramarital affairs. The family of 19 Kids and Counting was already facing with backlash after reports circulated of Josh molesting five minors, including several of his younger sisters. Sadie knows what its like for your family to be under the microscope, so shes sympathizes with the Duggars. They almost canceled Duck Dynasty whenever my grandpa said the things that he said, and that would have been, in my opinion, not a very good decision, because that was putting one mans words in all of our mouths, Robertson continued. Josh Duggar, thats not his whole family. His whole family didnt do that, Robertson continued. He made a mistakeIt honestly makes me really sad that theyre having to go through this. Its clear that the rest of the Duggar family has been relying on their faith to get them through these difficult times. Joshs parents have come forward to say that are deeply grieved by [their] sons decisions and actions. What do you think? Should we pray for the Duggars?

3	The troubling privacy implications of increasingly common eye tracking technologyMadison Ruppert While this technology can be used in applications related to advertising, it most troublingly can be used by law enforcement and intelligence agencies as is the case with the Department of Homeland Securitys Future Attribute Screening Technology. It can also be used by computer systems to detect when people are lying much more accurately than humans can, according to research. Both the Samsung Galaxy S4 and LG Optimus G Pro will reportedly feature basic eye tracking technology and eye tracking can be used for everything from marketing and usability to software and science, according to one company marketing eye tracking. Another company, Eye Tribe, even seeks to put an eye tracker in every smartphone with a focus on allowing the technology to be built into mobile devices for just a couple of dollars, according to Tekla Perry of IEEE Spectrum. Recently, the BBC reported on a new advertisement system created by researchers at Lancaster University which could track the eyes of shoppers and display ads based on what they look at. According to the researchers, the technology could be implemented in stores within five years. So whats the big deal? Why should anyone care? John Villasenor, an electrical engineer professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, has pinpointed some of the quite troubling privacy implications of eye tracking. Once the technology for eye-tracking is in place, it will glean information conveying not only what we read online, but also how we read it, Villasenor wrote for Future Tense. Did our eyes linger for a few seconds on an advertisement that, in the end, we decided not to click on? How do our eyes move as they take in the contents of a page? Villasenor continued. Are there certain words, phrases, or topics that we appear to prefer or avoid? In the future, will we be served online ads based not only on what weve shopped for, but also on the thoughts reflected in our eye movements? Villasenor further discusses the issues surrounding eye tracking in the video embedded below: Later in his article, Villasenor raised concerns around law enforcement and security applications. Researchers in the United States and the United Kingdom have mapped the correlation between blink rates, pupil dilation, and deception, Villasenor wrote. The Department of Homeland Security has been developing a pre-crime program aimed at identifying criminals before they act. The DHS program, known as Future Attribute Screening Technology, is designed to analyze images acquired at airport security checkpoints to measure eye movement, position, and gaze (as well as heart rate, respiration, and facial expression) to identify behavior deemed suspicious, he added. The picture only gets more troubling when one considers that simply taping over ones camera on a laptop or smartphone likely wont thwart eye tracking technology in the future. Indeed, as Villasenor pointed out, As evidenced by an Apple patent application, future display screens could include thousands of tiny imaging sensors built into the screen itself. That means that future devices could be unusable if the user attempted to completely block any and all eye tracking. A great deal of information can be learned about people by tracking their eye movement. Andrew Duchowski, of Clemson Universitys computer science department, wrote, eye movement data provide an unobtrusive, online measure of visual and cognitive information processing. According to Jay Stanley, the senior policy analyst for the American Civil Liberties Unions Speech, Privacy and Technology Project, we could see the technology become a standard part of an analytics toolbox plugged in to every surveillance camera fixed on the public. Eye tracking technology has or could be used to detect and analyze cognitive disorders, drug and alcohol use, mental and psychological illness, HIV/AIDS, lying, intelligence and even sexuality, according to Stanley. While Stanley notes that applying eye tracking technology on the general public via surveillance cameras is currently science fiction, it is clearly not far-future sci-fi. And regardless of how much of the above ever comes to pass, its yet another reminder of the huge wave of privacy-invading technology that is headed our way, and of our need to get ready for that, Stanley concludes. Similarly, Villasenor concludes, Today, when we read something online, our thoughts are still our own. We should enjoy it while it lasts. Given how rapidly this type of technology can advance when money is put into research and development, coupled with how quickly prices can decrease, a future where eye tracking technology is commonplace might not be all that far off.

3	Criticism Of Israel Treated as Hate Crime in CanadaBy Dan Dicks 
3	Zika: The Gene-Editing Fix That Will Blow You AwayBy Jon Rappoport Logic students used to learn: you can have a perfectly valid argument, even if your premises, your first assumptions are completely false. Well, if the argument is about politics, your conclusion will be insane. Implementing the conclusion will earn you praise as you destroy lives. What were talking about here is a species of mind control. (The Underground, Jon Rappoport) Whats the latest solution to the virus that causes nothing? Here we go. Punch line: MIT Technology Review, 2/8/16: We have the technology to destroy all Zika mosquitoes. A controversial genetic technology able to wipe out the mosquito carrying the Zika virus will be available within months, scientists say. The technology, called a gene drive, was demonstrated only last year in yeast cells, fruit flies, and a species of mosquito that transmits malaria. It uses the gene-snipping technology CRISPR to force a genetic change to spread through a population as it reproduces. Three U.S. labs that handle mosquitoes, two in California and one in Virginia, say they are already working toward a gene drive for Aedes aegypti, the type of mosquito blamed for spreading Zika. If deployed, the technology could theoretically drive the species to extinction. (emphasis added) We could have it easily within a year, says Anthony James, a molecular biologist at the University of California, Irvine. Any release of a gene drive in the wild would be hotly debated by ecologistsBut with Zika sowing fear across Latin America and beyond, the technology is likely to get a closer look. Four weeks ago we were trying to justify why we are doing this. Now theyre saying Get the lead out, says James. Its absolutely going to change the conversation. No kidding. Unforeseen consequences? Unpredicted results? Ecological domino effect? Transfer of genes from mosquitoes to humans? Dont be silly. All is well. Dont worry, be happy. Move straight ahead with your mouth shut and your eyes closed. In previous articles, Ive been reviewing the basics of covert ops, because Zika fits the bill. In this case, take a virus that causes nothing, falsely link it to a tragic condition (babies born with small heads and brain damage), and then slide in the real agendas. Ive already spelled out some of those plans, which are materializing in front of our eyes. Gene editing is a towering plan: technocrats dont like a specieswipe it out. Build up the threat with lies and obfuscations and false science and wall-to-wall propagandathen introduce the grand solution. Depopulation turns out to be easy. Just reconfigure genes. Snip-snip. The Zika virus isnt sowing fear, as the MIT Review claims. The World Health Organization is inventing that fear. In the 70 years since Zika was discovered, it has, at worst, caused mild transient illness. Now, suddenly, its supposed to be creating radical birth defects. Of course, the Brazilian researchers can only find a possible correlation between Zika and the birth defect in 17 cases. Seventeen. Maybe. But never mind. Wipe out all the mosquitoes that may be carrying Zika. Wipe out the whole species. And come to think of it, could a case be made that certain human populations are destructive and, well, superfluous? There are people who think so. They also think that, in the onrush of automation and AI, efficient robots could replace those useless populations. Face it. Despite all the warnings about viruses running out of control and wiping out half the world, the depopulation freaks just havent been able to put a dent in the global population. They hope, they pray, but no dice. However, they have been able to produce one result: planting fear of viruses in humans. Theyre adequate to that task. So wake up and smell the cover story. In order to destroy the imminent threat of viruses and save the human race, we must turn to cutting-edge technology: gene editing. Thats our ultimate hope. Destroy the village in order to save it. Here are the final paragraphs of the MIT article: But a gene drive [gene editing] can also make mosquito populations disappear. The simplest way to do that is to spread a genetic payload that leads to only male offspring. As the male-only instructions spread with each new generation, eventually there would be no females left, says Adelman. His lab discovered the Aedes aegypti gene that determines sex only last spring. The next step will be to link it to a gene drive. Kevin Esvelt, a gene-drive researcher at MITs Media Lab who has been outspoken about the need to proceed cautiously, also thinks Aedes aegypti eradication should be the goal, so long as the public is onboard and the safety of the idea proved. Technologically, we could probably do it in a couple of years, says Esvelt. Im sure well be able to do it before people can agree if we should. Did you get that last piece? The cautious scientist says: what the hell, lets eliminate a whole species if the public is onboard and we prove its safe. How to prove safety before launch? Hard to say. Basically, try it and then well know. Vote for the bill and then you can read whats in it. Allow a global explosion of GMO crops based on zero science about health and economic consequences, and see what happens. Expand the list of mandated vaccines for children from six to 60 and see what happens. Spray poisonous pesticides all over the planet and see what happens. Only cranks and conspiracists and rubes and yokels and Luddites and tree huggers and bitter clingers oppose the march of science. How about editing their genes? It would make things so much easier. Wipe out the mosquitoes. One small step for man, one giant step for mankind. Today, the mosquito, tomorrow the (fill in the blank). The mind plays tricks: Listen, were not talking about depopulation in general. Dont be silly. Were just going to wipe out one species of very troublesome insect thats wreaking havoc. Come on. Its just once. Well never do it again. Were not crazy. Were researchers. Just give us a chance. Please. We want to launch the experiment and watch it with joy. Thats what we do. Just once. Its our present under the Xmas tree. Why not? All you have to do is forget the giant clue thats clubbing you on the head: The virus theyre going to stop causes nothing. What are they counting on? Theyre counting on you not being able to believe the virus causes nothing. Theyre betting on that. Theyre betting youre in the trance they created.

Before it was banned, it saved millions of lives. But because of the ban, millions have died, and millions more will continue to die. DDT may appear to be a solution. What the truth in this case is though, there exists no problem. What Jon Rappoport is pointing out is that Brazilian medical teams could only _maybe_ link 17 cases of babies born defected to the virus _maybe_ carried by these mosquitoes. There is no definitive or empirical proof these babies had the mosquitoes as vectors for causing their defects. Theres a lot of , well, we can only guess here going on. So, using DDT fogging really is no solution. There is no problem. Ergo, there does _not_ need to be a solution. Toxicology has to consider a plethora of vectors. _Maybe_ these babies were born defected due to poverty adversely effecting their mothers diets? _Maybe_ the defects are from the presence of iron in the environment? _Maybe_, just _maybe_ it is random chance left ascribed to what a lot of Christians dub G*ds will? All in all, no one seems keen to offer a directly linked and empirical proof of cause. They can only guess. Life does that. Suggesting that is a problem, you may as well roll over and accept carbon taxing as well. I agree that Zika is a total sham, but malaria and other diseases continue to kill millions of people and DDT was a total success at stopping that. The psychos came up with all kinds of reasons to ban it, all proven false. So there are real problems out there with real solutions, but they will not be addressed because it doesnt fit the agenda of the Bankster Cartel. You have no idea what youre talking about and youre spreading lies. I remember VERY WELL when DDT was used and the results were catastrophic. Your idea is to kill the village in order to save it and that has never worked. While I can agree to two things you posit, I do not collude with your solution. I agree there in deed, in action very real problems and they have very real solutions. For example if we had the political will to do so, there exists no lack of food to continually and indefinitely feed everyone on the planet at least five pounds of food per day. There does not ever need to be any hunger on this planet, anyone who suggests their is a resource scarcity is selling you a load of dung. Problem: People on Earth starve daily. I agree that much is done against humanity by Bankers or if you prefer to get gritty about it, Khazar ( Look them up. Think youll realize if youre Caucasian you may trace linage back to Khazars who live/d around the Caucasus mountains.). See the above problem for one thing these folks do, they create the problem by telling the fib that food is scarce. They enslave political will to not free up labor, logistics, distribution to get food to people. I do not agree that DDT is a solution to this _seeming_ problem. I in fact do not see it as a problem. I see it as yet another shell game, fear mongering bit of propaganda. I do understand that yes, if there is means of control/s in place DDT can be used effectively and _maybe_ even safely. But I disagree that DDTs use here is warranted or merited. I dont know about the Khazars, but lots of peoples went through the Caucasus mountains, amoung them the Northern Tribes of Israel, and went on to populate Europe and America. I doubt that whoever the Khazars are that they are the only banksters that have brought such misery to the world. This has been going on since civilization itself in Mesopotamia beginning with the mystery religions which put such a strangle hold on the masses. But I do believe that if we got rid of the most dangerous religion of all government that there would be no starvation, because freedom of human action would automatically move the food where there is the most demand. But the fact is DDT saved MILLIONS of lives while it was being used and cost millions of lives, mostly in poor countries, where it is now banned. You should really listen to Stefan Molyneuxs video that I posted below. Yes, it is Gods will if God is Monsanto!!! The infamous toxic herbicide Glyphosate used on GMO and non-GMO crops causes birth defects! Brazil is the world 3rd largest grower and exporter of GMO corps. Glyphosate also causes infertility. Brazil has seen their birth rates drop from 6 children per woman to less than 2 children per woman, to the astonishment of health scientists world wide. Get rid of the corrupted governments paid by the international chemical industry and you will get rid of diseases! Outlaw GMO, outlaw Glyphosate, bankrupt Monsanto, grow organic! Vote with your dollars, shop at your local farmers market! Planning on doing even better. Hoping to soon move from where we live. Where we move will be a small homestead. We will grow our garden from heritage seed and use new gardening methods to garden smarter not harder. One such method I am given thought about is The Alaska Grow Bucket method. Anyone can look that up in any search engine. The basic plans and pictures on how to do it are freely available. Or, you can get the inventor to send you a kit. Another method Im thinking about is aqua-ponics. We can then raise Talapia / Perch fish for dinner, sell, trade. That method too is easily enough seen and comprehended via search engine search. Look up Growing Power and see how its done. Youll find at least several videos what demonstrate the basic concepts. Well also be far enough rurally that there is limited chance of bad cross pollination. Even so, may even garden in a structure called a walipini. This will let us grow cabbage, tomatoes, eggplant, all sorts of other yummy vegetables nearly all year round if not all year round. It will also supply protection against pollutions, insects to a degree ( planning on using beneficial ones ). Of course, our dogs will roam our little patch freely. I may even grow a few bramble berry patches here and there. Do no count to come looking out for us. Well see you clear enough. Huh?? DDT killed lots of people and very nearly drove many bird and other species to extinction. The golden eagle, condor and many songbirds were nearly extinct. DDT KILLS, it doesnt save lives. Yeah, dont worry your little warrior head about all those birds and animals that almost went extinct. We should bring back Agent Orange, too. Who needs trees and plants? OMG. I see youve been brainwashed by the over-population propaganda about DTT. Check out Stefan Molyneuxs video, The Truth about The Zika Virus Outbreak. Scroll down the comments and you will see the link to it. I have not been brainwashed. Molyneuxs anti-environmentalist stand fails to consider one very important fact: DDT does kill mosquitoes, along with everything else it touches, including people. Hes an idiot. Well if facts wont convince you, what do you call it if not brainwashing? I was studying biology in college when DDT was wreaking havoc on earth and Molyneaux was probably still wearing Pampers. Facts are watching things die in massive numbers with own eyes. Or you could get your facts fed to you by some guy on YouTube. I was studying biology in college when DDT Ya, okay. Since I am still working in eagle rehab to this day, I guess I dont know squat. There is quite a discussion on YouTube involving flat earth theory, go get some facts. Wow, working in eagle rehab. It so encouraging to see those eagles wanting to get off of that crystal meth and live a clean life! Perhaps you should try it yourself. And youre a flat earther too. Devastating what that meth does to people. I am not a flat earther, I was making a point about the kind of BS thats on YouTube, duh. Well you may think that because he put this on YouTube that its BS, but did you bother to check his source material? Didnt think so. So much for that college education. DDT: A Case Study in Scientific Fraud by J. Gordon Edwards, Professor Emeritus of Entomology at San Jose State University in San Jose, California from the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, Fall, 2004, based in part on his 34-page manuscript discussing fraud in acid rain, ozone holes, ultraviolet radiation, carbon dioxide, global warming, and pesticides, particularly DDT. Today, the greatest killer and disabler is malaria, which kills a person every 30 seconds. By the 1960s, DDT had brought malaria near to extinction. To only a few chemicals does man owe as great a debt as to DDT. In little more than two decades, DDT has prevented 500 million human deaths, due to malaria, that otherwise would have been inevitable, said the National Academy of Sciences. Oh BTW, your brilliant researcher, Mr. Molymouth, says, Snow kills bacteria. This is not only untrue but it serves to demonstrate how FOS he is. Look for yourself. In the little search box you have on your computer, type in Bacteria that live in snow, wherein you discover how stupid your YouTube Dude really is. Once again, you misdirect as if that is my argument and then once again attack YouTube, as if I care. The real research on DDT proves it has saved millions of lives, and the propaganda was based on faulty research that has long ago been exposed. Once again, Mr. I Cant Tell The Difference Between a Bird and a Rock Band, DDT kills everything, including the humans you pretend to care about so ardently. Your sole source of information on this topic comes from a man who cant tell a snowflake from lint. His sources are 100% a mainstream media trying very hard to convince the world that this problem comes from mosquitoes when it does not. That is the real propaganda here and if you think spraying DDT all over the world is the answer, then youre just as screwed up as Mr. Snow Kills Bacteria. Geesh, the stupidity is incredible. Actually his sources are National Academy of Sciences and the late J. Gordon Edwards, Professor Emeritus of Entomology at San Jose State University. Hahaha is San Jose State a brainwashing university? I bet all those nice scientists at the NAS also studied biology like I did. All brainwashed too, no doubt. Regardless, since you obviously didnt go to college, you cannot understand what they do and the findings they make, and must rely on Mr. Snow Kills Bacteria to tell you what to believe. This is the twisty conundrum the uneducated person faces when blasting someone who actually goes to college. Perhaps youve learned your lesson and will be more polite from now on. Your twisting and assumptions does nothing for your argument. I never said that San Jose State is a brainwashing university but that J. Gordon Edwards, was a Professor Emeritus of Entomology there. Do you have a reading comprehension problem? And you assume I dont have a college degree, which I do, but I was able to think for myself and question what I was taught rather than just accept everything said there as if it were fact. Nevertheless, the National Academy of Sciences and J. Gordon Edwards, Professor Emeritus of Entomology at San Jose State University are pretty good sources. You should read what they have to say about DDT. You are the one with the reading (and logic) compression problem. You claimed because I went to college I was brainwashed. That was insult #1. Then you cite another college as a source. Are some colleges brainwashing colleges? Or all of them? This is called a fallacy. Putting that aside, my position is that most colleges (including their vaulted Emeritusae) today are nothing but corporate mouthpieces, paid to say whatever someone pays them to say. Instead, I trust my eyes. When DDT was being sprayed all over tarnation, birds were unable to produce viable egg shells and the eggs fell apart. Once DDT was banned, birds were able to make eggs again and now we have eagles, not the rock band. Perhaps you dont care about birds but there is this notion called The canary in the coal mine which means that birds let us know the condition of the earth. It doesnt seem to have occurred to you that Ex-Professor Edwards might have been paid to refute the earlier tests in order to forward the notion that DDT should be unbanned and put back into the food chain by the corporate behemoth that still holds the patent, in order to save people, when its patently clear they are trying very hard to kill people. My position is that all chemicals are harmful to life in some fashion, so advocating that the prior DDT studies were flawed and the new studies are real is, how shall I put this. stupid. When someone says something like snow kills bacteria thats your BIG CLUE they are full of bullsheet. All the education in the world does not trump intuition and logic. The argument was that DDT saved millions of lives and whatever damage it caused was well worth the price and that damage was far less than what was claimed. And Im saying there is no argument because the entities bringing the argument are interested only in profit motive not saving people. There is a global eugenics program going on, perhaps youre not aware of it. It places profit over human lives. Its real and it is happening all around the world. Putting DDT back on the safe list would signal the eventual end of all life on earth. If this is your idea of a good idea, you should take your rightful place in the line up of genocidal maniacs. Animal life is just as important as human life, and the phrase well worth the price is the precise language used by the psychopaths who insist price determines value. You are on the wrong side of this issue, Mr. Warrior, and your karma will not be worth the price. Give it up and stop spreading this BS around like you have a clue what youre talking about. And the purpose of the Zika psy op comes into view. Im a heckuva lot more worried about the solution than the so-called problem, as should everyone. There is no way there wont be unintended consequences of attempting to wipe out a species of ANY kind. Of this I am sure. I also have the feeling that vaccines and any other considerations are secondary to the extermination via gene editing agenda. Thats an opinion. There may be more revelations to come, or multiple agendas may be equal, concurrent, and possibly all under one over-arching umbrella program. You could argue that last proposition exists almost by default. Great reporting on this, THANK YOU J. Rappaport, selfnews Post, and any other outlet that carries this series. Jon R, this article actually doesnt make any sense, sorry. What would they gain on extinction of mosquitos? No, they have something else in mind! I bet there will be a world wide mandatory vaccination of women of child bearing age and the vaccine will be tainted, just like the free vaccines B Gates Foundation gave to countries in Africa, which made the vaccinated women to automatically abort every fetus for 10 years. World depopulation agenda. It does make sense if youre insane, and they definitely do have something in mind. They would be using the pesky mosquito as a test because no one likes mosquitoes, no one speaks up for them, even though they are an integral part of the food chain for many species. After theyve run their death test on mosquitoes, they can move on to spiders, rats, snakes, sharks, and other species that people find annoying. They have to start small and work their way up the food chain until one day there wont be a food chain. Thats the end game, wipe out everything in existence and engineer all new stuff because humans can do it better than nature, especially once weve traded in our pesky brains for computers. Singularity extinction. Exactly. Did you make that up or did you read it somewhere? It kind of come into my mind. Ive read of the singularity a little. Not enough to know more than the basics. Seems eugenics ultimately seeks a final solution and that would only logically be extinction. The trans-humanists seem keen on pushing toward singularity, add in a eugenic solution = singularity extinction. I see robotic mosquitoes in our near future, equipped with injectable genetically altering nano-bots. Yay! Go team! I have read a bit of this myself, not too much though because I dont want to give it more attention than it deserves. The statement I made came just from my knowing things, and along with that I know that some people will willingly choose to couple with AI because being bionic will be the next cool. What they wont realize is that this technology will start out affordable but will soon become extremely expensive and only the rich will be able to afford it. Non-elites sucked into it will be the slave class, that road is already being laid out and paved by smart technology. Those who choose to remain fully organic beings will either be eliminated or choose to ascend by a different evolutionary path, but there will exist a transhuman dimension on earth in the future because those who develop it and those who choose it will create it with their intentions. I can see it as a sword of Damocles type of situation. There are benefits to appropriately using technology, any technology. There are also detractions in using technology, any technology. One also needs to consider who decides what is appropriate or not? How is that decided? At what point does use of technology become abusive of others? A lot of various aspects to consider. With great power follows great responsibility, an Ubuntu Linux reminds me when I use the sudo program to do admin work on the computer. Ergo, its difficult to forget. Even the technology itself reminds us. Not exactly fearful, nor exactly welcoming robotic overlords here. Not a Luddite nor am I some Shadow Run decker either. Guess my kind of folks will be the first to be herded to the death camps, were too adaptable to control otherwise. So much for the spiel that mediocrity was a safe bet. *chuckles* Hahaha yes, I also bought the mediocrity safe bet BS! As much as the sound of AI appalls me, people are going to choose it on a soul level, as is their right. Its quite possible the singularity will occur on a major timeline split, or perhaps the singularity will create the timeline. An interesting novel on these lines is The Bone Clocks, by David Mitchell. One of the characters is AI. I see elsewhere you are going to buy a homestead. I have such a place now and I hope that dream comes true for you. Its a wonderful life and I highly recommend it on all levels. Helpful advice: always make room for sunflowers. They attract lots of birds and bees to your garden, and you can use the dried seedheads to feed birds all winter. ok they can edit genes in the mosquito. Imagine what they could put in a vaccine. AMA,WHO,CDC not your buddy. President Barack Obama is asking Congress for $1.8 billion to develop the gene drive, prop up Puerto Rico after defaulting on banksters, and fund obie-care with 1.48 billion going to the Department of Health and Human Services. An easy task considering the 5.4 billion Congress allocated to ebola.. another false flag. 
1	Faced with several tough factors, the nation has once again been hit hard, sources reported Tuesday. 'It is unclear whether the American people will ever fully recover from this blow,' said Dr. Gerald Davidson, an expert. 'The country is still reeling from November's massive slump, as well as widespread skyrocketing in 2006. And let's not forget that staggering 13.9 percent rate.' Davidson concluded that the only circumstance that could somewhat alleviate the dire situation is a boost. 
2	White House Erupts Into Panic Mode Of Donald Trump Releases THIS Statement About Obama Even after the GOP debates, Trump is still confidently the leader of the GOP race. In fact, his numbers are on the rise, with nearly 25% of the vote. Now, Trump is speaking out more than ever about our countrys failed leadership. I think he has done a very poor job as president, Trump told reporters of President Obama, claiming that he has done absolutely nothing for the black community. He went on to say the following: We have $18 trillion in debt and (its) going up rapidly. We dont have victories anymore. China is killing us on trade; Mexico is killing us at the border and also on trade. I think that he has set a very poor standard. I think that he has set a very low bar. And I think that its a shame for the African-American people. And by the way, he has done nothing for African-American people. You look at whats going on with their income levels, their youth. I thought he would be a great cheerleader for this country. I thought that he would have done a great job for the Africa-American citizens of this country. He has done nothing. They are worse now than just about ever. Here you have a black president who has done very poorly for the African-Americans of this country. I think I will win the African-American vote and I think I will win the Hispanic vote. And if you see the latest polls that have come out youll see that. What do you think of Trumps comments? Do you see him getting the minority vote? 
1	Saying that the organization feels compelled to light a fire under its struggling quarterback, Chicago Bears general manager Phil Emery told reporters Wednesday that he is hoping to motivate Jay Cutler by offering him even more guaranteed money from his seven-year, $126 million contract. Were willing to do whatever it takes to push Jay to improve his performance on the field, so if a guaranteed $54 million isnt getting the best out of him, then well just have to go up to $70 million, said Emery, adding that increasing Cutlers promised earnings will hopefully incentivize the veteran passer to consistently play at the peak of his abilities and eventually lead the team to a Super Bowl. All options are on the table at this point, whether we need to restructure his current contract or just scrap it altogether and offer a new 10-year deal with $90 million guaranteed. We just want to make sure were doing everything in our power to keep Jay focused on his game and driven to succeed. At press time, sources close to the Bears front office confirmed that the team will be cutting Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery, Matt Forte, and Jared Allen in order to clear enough cap space for Cutlers new salary. 
3	Entrepreneur Takes Activism to New Level, Spends $15K Bailing People Out of Jail for Drug OffensesBy John Vibes Im not doing this for political reasons. These are people who are in jail because they cant come up with $100 or $200 in bail bond money. These arent serious criminals its folks who got caught with a small bag of marijuana or who were hungry and stole some food from the store, Wilson said. Surprisingly, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart is actually supporting Wilsons plan. Working with Wilson, the Sheriff has provided him with a list of the inmates who have the best chance of success on the outside. If I let you sit there you dont have a chance to get a good education, get a job, or start your life over, Wilson said. I cant police them. All I can do is do a good deed and hope for the best. Im trusting that theyll make the right decision and understanding the situation, he said. If we can save one out of a thousand, then its worth it, he added. In addition to getting them out of prison, Wilson will also be donating $200 cash to each inmate to help them get back on their feet. I want to bail out some of the men, white, Black and Asian. Some are there because they cannot pay a $50, $100 bond. Some are in jail because they stole food or may have had a fight. I have been giving money away to churches, but now I am paying bail bond money for non-violent people. I am hoping to get as many out of jail until 2017, and we will urge them to get a GED or if they are having substance abuse problems to seek rehab intervention, Wilson said. Next, Wilson plans on raising$200,000 for veterans and seniors to help pay their utility bills.

Wonder why our multi-million/ billionaires, especially those w/ political image to maintain, havent engaged in similar acts of compassion?? Because they dont really care like Wilson does. I say good on him for being a decent human being. Funny how its those with less whore more likely to understand and want to help. But Wilsons one of those who break the generalisation and if more were like him the world could be so much better. Are you talking about the unholy ones that want us all sick and dying those billionaires. holding people on bail is illegal Put your money into busting the oath of office violators and those who break Constitutional law? Great idea, but if we started jailing all the corrupt politicos and LEOs wed need to build hundreds of new prisons or put them in the new FEMA camps. Simple, outsource it to China? What a great story! Of course they are supporting it!!! $$$MONEY$$$$$ 
2	Jessie Ventura Just Got SLAMMED With Some Very Bad News Jesse Ventura gained notoriety after bringing a lawsuit against Chris Kyles estate, and ultimately walking away with $1.8 million. It appears that he wont be on his high horse for long, as reports indicate that Taya Kyle has just filed an appeal to reverse the verdict. In fact, experts believe that she has a very good chance of winning in the retrial. John Borger, Kyles attorney, has argued that Ventura did not succeed in proving that Chriss account of their bar fight was material falsity or actual malice. Without proving one of the two, the scene did not legally meet the requirements of defamation. A properly instructed jury would not have rendered a verdict in Venturas favor, Borger argued, pointing to Judge Robert Kyle for failing to instruct the jury properly. What do you think? Do you support Kyle in standing up for her husbands estate? Would she ever lose to a jury?

3	More Deadly Force? Controversial Training Program For New Mexico PoliceLily Dane Incidents have occurred with enough frequency in the state to trigger a Department of Justice investigation that launched in 2012 and is still ongoing. The states police forces have become infamous for shooting at minivans full of kids and for their penchant for Roswellian anal-probing of suspects. Yet, the man who designs the training programs for the states police departments doesnt see a problem. In fact, he has instituted a curriculum that puts LESS restraint on officers in deciding when to use deadly force. Jack Jones is the director of the Law Enforcement Academy. The New Mexican reports that he has been granted full control over the design of the basic training program: In September, the states eight-member Law Enforcement Academy Board, which is appointed by the governor and chaired by the attorney general, voted unanimously to change the New Mexico Administrative Code to give complete control over the curriculum to Jones. Greg Williams, an Albuquerque attorney and president-elect of the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government, said before the board voted on the change, it had a process that included public involvement. What they did was to change the process so that the public could not be involved, he said. It would be out of the ordinary for one person to write [the curriculum] without other people having input, said Thomas J. Aveni, director of the Police Policy Studies Council, a New Hampshire-based group that studies use of force by law enforcement. And Phillip Gallegos, a former academy instructor, called the rule change a dangerous precedent. Now you have one person that is making the selection, and who is to say that person knows what a curriculum is supposed to be like, Gallegos said. Last July, Gallegos was fired for insubordination after he refused to teach new cadets some of the firearms training Jones wanted to implement: The statement that he made to us [instructors] in a [January 2013] meeting was, No, I want you guys teaching these guys how to make a car stop with a bullet. Gallegos said, This is the thing why are you shooting at a car? You should be shooting at the individual that is shooting at you. Jones tried to justify that part of the training like this: We want them to see that if theres a threat thats inside a vehicle and they need to shoot at it, what happens to that round. Theyre wearing a gun and a badge protecting you [the public] against the violence. Dont you think they should be prepared for the most violent encounter that they can come up against? Say what? Way to skirt around the question, Jones! Williams said that because of the high number of police shootings, the public deserves to know how officers are being trained. He added that the training documents cant be lawfully withheld unless there is an ongoing criminal investigation or some other exception. The New Mexican filed a request under the Inspection of Public Records Act for a copy of the academys new curriculum. Jones wasnt having it. He said he doesnt plan to release it because criminals could use the tactics taught to cadets against them. Ill burn them before you get them, he told The New Mexican. Jones says officers need to be prepared for violence and justifies training officers to use more force because there are so many bad guys out there: Evil has come to the state of New Mexico, evil has come to the Southwest, evil has come to the United States. I agree with Jones opinion that evil has arrived in New Mexico, but I doubt we agree on the source. Lily Dane is a staff writer for The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared.

2	BREAKING: Obama Just Gave Himself A HUGE Pay Raise... FOREVER According to recent reports, the Congressional Research Service reports that for requests for both 2016 and 2017 fiscal years, Obamas proposed federal budget would expand funding by as much of $25,000. To top it off, Obama is proposing an 18% hike in expenditures for former Presidents The move is part of the the Former Presidents Act, which was enacted in 1958 to provide living former presidents with a pension, office staff and support, funds for travel, Secret Service protection, and mailing privileges. It is also provides benefits for presidential spouses (hint hint, Michelle Obama). At the moment, former presidents are awarded with a pension equal to the salary of cabinet secretaries, which totaled $203,700 for the 2015 calendar year. Those who oppose the act are concerned that it financially supports former presidents who are not struggling. Instead, these former leaders are profiting from books they are writing or appearing at speaking engagements. Take Bill Clinton for instance, who earned $132 million for delivering paid speeches between February 2001 and March 2015, according to an analysis from CNN. Republicans in the House and Senate have worked hard to push legislation that would cap annual pensions for former presidents at $200,000. The bill also proposes that the pension be cut by a dollar for every dollar the former president earns over $400,000 in the private sector Its pretty simple, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, who introduced the bill in the House, told ABC News. You want a retirement and pension, its there. But if youre going to go out and make enormous sums of money, then you dont need taxpayer subsidies. The House approved the measure in January with bipartisan support. Of course, Obama doesnt abide by common sense.

3	9/11 Museum Set to Open at Ground Zero Will Educate Future GenerationsMelissa Melton The National September 11 Memorial Museum will display tributes to each of the nearly 3,000 victims, and a large collection of artifacts from the attacks. A three-part exhibition will recreate the official story of that morning, complete with an exploration of what supposedly led up to the attacks that day. In a controversial move, it has also just been announced that approximately 8,000 remains of unidentified 9/11 victims will be moved to the museum as well, and DNA identification efforts will continue there. Access to these remains will be restricted to victim families and medical examiner personnel only. The museum will be open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Anyone who is not a rescue worker or child under six years old will be charged a $24 entrance fee. That private funding reportedly includes a $63 million operating budget for 2014. Multiple times the website mentions that not only will the museum serve as a memorial for the 9/11 victims, but it will educate future generations on the official story of what happened on the morning of September 11, 2001. The museum directors message begins with, The National September 11 Memorial Museum are being built to honor memory and in doing so to educate for a better future. It would appear the museum will serve as yet another memorial to the governments official story in much the same way Dealey Plazas 6th Floor Museum at the book depository in Dallas, Texas where JFK was assassinated preserves the governments magic bullet theory. Potential visitors should wonder whether or not the new 9/11 museum will host a section illustrating the miracles of that day. Not just the miracle of the human spirit, of those who gave their lives to save others from a horror many everyday citizens could have never foreseen, but of the other miracles dotting the governments official story. The miracle, for example, of the only time in recorded history that steel and iron structures melted and collapsed in on themselves from a building fire supposedly caused by a plane crashing into a few of the floors, but somehow a paper passport could float out of one of the hijackers pockets presumably while he was on one of those planes and that passport could later be found virtually intact and undamaged on the street below. The miracle of how a Boeing 757 was able to fly into the Pentagon at an angle that is, by multiple pilot accounts and computer recreations based on the official story, physically impossible, and over 250 pilots and aviation professionals have now gone on record to dispute these official stories. The miracle of how no Boeing 757 was ever found in the hole it supposedly left in the Pentagon, a hole not physically big enough for the plane that supposedly hit it, nor were any people or a plane found at the Shanksville, Pennsylvania crash site. The miracle of how World Trade Center building 7, a building which was never hit by a plane and only had pockets of isolated fires on a few floors, imploded in a free fall in near-perfect symmetry into its own footprint seven hours after the planes hit the WTC towers. The miracle of how a reporter at the BBC reported live on this building having already collapsed while standing in front of it onscreen before it collapsed. Will there be a section on all the rights Americans have lost in the wake of 9/11 in the name of the never ending War on Terror? A display on how the Constitution has been usurped? Will it come complete with artifacts as well, including thousands of naked body scans of humiliated Americans treated as guilty until proven innocent at our nations airports every day, or perhaps even a urostomy bag torn open during an enhanced patdown by the Transportation Security Administration because they just had to make sure a retired special education teacher and bladder cancer survivor on his way to a wedding in Orlando, Florida wasnt a terrorist? The museum is set to open May 21st. 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!

Youve called women you dont like fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals, Kelly attacked Trump during the debate. Only Rosie ODonnell, Trump interrupted. No it wasntfor the record, it was well beyond Rosie ODonnell, Kelly challenged. Your Twitter account has several disparaging comments about womens looks. You once told a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees. Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president? And how will you answer the charge when Hillary Clinton, who is likely to be the Democratic nominee, that you are part of the war on women? The big problem this country has is being politically correct, Trump answered.

1	Bob and Debra Mangurten expressed confusion and frustration Monday, when the restaurant Don Quixote turned out to be Spanish, not Mexican. The Spanish restaurant accidentally patronized by the taco-loving Mangurten (inset) and his wife. 'Where are the tacos?' Bob, a 33-year-old Scranton telephone repairman, asked waiter Pedro Cruz while scanning the menu. 'What kind of Mexican place doesn't have tacos?' Cruz politely explained to him that tacos were not on the menu because tacos are not indigenous to Spanish cuisine. 'Turns out, the place was Spanish, which, apparently, is different,' Debra later recalled. 'How the heck were we supposed to know that?' After ordering two Mountain Dews and requesting more time to look over the menu, the couple debated whether to stay or just pay for the drinks and find a Mexican restaurant. 'I had my heart set on tacos,' Bob said. 'But we were too hungry to get back in the car and drive all the way across town to Chi-Chi's, so we decided to stay put and make the best of things. Besides, Deb and I had agreed to try new things together, so I guess that counts.' Upon returning with the Mangurtens' soft drinks, Cruz suggested they start off with some tapas, which he described to the bewildered pair as 'Spanish-style appetizers.' 'Why don't they just have chips and salsa for the appetizer?' Bob asked. 'Instead, they have stuff like prosciutto and melon, and steamed mussels. That sounds like something you wouldn't eat on a dare.' 'I'm scared I'm going to order the wrong thing, and these prices don't exactly encourage experimentation,' Debra said. 'The way the restaurant looks on the outside, you'd never know it was the kind of place where you'd feel nervous ordering.' Mangurten, who 'really wanted some tacos,' eats herb-crusted sea bass with mashed yams. After studying the menu for nearly 25 minutes, Bob ordered sea bass and Debra ordered Paella Valenciana, chosen because she recalled hearing the term paella on an episode of Seinfeld. Fifteen minutes later, her entree, a mixture of seafood, chicken, sausage, rice, saffron, and assorted vegetables and spices, was brought out and served tableside directly from a sizzling pan. Reaction was lukewarm. 'It was fine, I suppose,' Debra said. 'It didn't hit the spot like some quesadillas would have, but we could have done worse.' 'I guess it doesn't matter at this point,' Debra continued. 'They got our money either way.' Though the words 'authentic Spanish cuisine' are printed on Don Quixote's door, Bob said the restaurant should make more of an effort to make its identity clear to patrons. 'When you walk into a place called Don Quixote and see all the crazy, colorful stuff on the wall, you figure it's a place to get normal Mexican food,' he said. 'Then, you open up the menu and you're like, what's with all this seafood? They should call it 'Don Quixote's Not-Mexican Restaurant,' so people will know exactly what they're getting. Or not getting.' Debra, who said she had been in the mood for a beef enchilada with mol sauce, agreed. 'I think it's just plain sneaky giving the place a Mexican name and making it look like a Mexican place. The least they could do is have a few things like chimichangas and burritos on the menu, for all the people who walk in here by accident. You shouldn't have to fool people to get them to eat at your restaurant. That's just bad business.' Ed Brulley, a longtime friend of the Mangurtens, said this is not the first time the pair has been duped by a restaurant. 'I took them to a great Szechuan place, and they were upset about it not having sweet-and-sour chicken or chow mein,' Brulley said. 'I told them that's Cantonese style, and that this was authentic Szechuan. They looked at me like I was from China. I don't think they realize different parts of a country have different styles of dishes. They certainly don't realize that countries that speak the same language don't always have the same food.' Added Brulley: 'God help them if they ever accidentally stumble into a Cuban joint.' 
1	On what is now known as 'Monday,' a team of MIT scientists unveiled 'time,' a revolutionary new event-sequencing protocol which organizes phenomena along a four-dimensional axis, preventing everything from taking place at once. 'No longer will the extinction of the dinosaurs, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and the Earth-Xabraxiq Pod Wars all collapse into a single point,' theoretical physicist Dr. Lawrence Chang said. 'With time, we can now contextualize each of the universe's infinite number of occurrences in its own spatial-temporal plane, creating order where there once was chaos.' Added Dr. Erno Toffel: 'Using time, one event can be positioned chronologically so as to be the cause of another. For example, a man's death may result in a gun being fired at him. Or the other way around. We're still working out some of the kinks.'

3	Texas schools to begin tracking students with IDs embedded with RFID chipsMadison Ruppert, Contributor If youre unfamiliar with this technology, a great primer on the subject has been written by Brent Daggett for End the Lie and I highly recommend you take a few minutes to explore some of the other applications of RFID, many of which are nothing short of disturbing. As is so often done when it comes to surveillance technology, this is being sold to us as something for our own good and the good of our children. This is identical to how the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is pushing their ludicrously unconstitutional license plate surveillance program I detail in the below video: The Northside Independent School District (NISD) of San Antonio, Texas has already approved the tracking devices and according to local news outlet KVUE, an ABC affiliate, two schools in the district will have the program in place next year. They characterize the RFID-equipped student IDs as somewhat like a GPS for teachers and administrators which will help them pinpoint the location of students around campus. Every parent wants us to know where their child is at school, claimed NISD spokesman Pascual Gonzalez. Growing up, my parents knew I was at school; they couldnt care less if I was in the bathroom, the library, a classroom or any other location. To me, Gonzalezs claim is so absurd that it is almost hard to believe that anyone would even attempt to use such a nonsensical argument. What parent cares what particular room their child is in? One legitimate concern might be if your child is ditching school, but an RFID isnt required for that, theres this crazy newfangled thing called attendance or roll which determines if students are present in class. If I had a child in a public school, I would be much more concerned about him or her being targeted by police, attacked and/or criminalized. The last of my concerns would be if my child was in the restroom at 11:18 AM or where in the cafeteria they were during lunch time. Any parent who desperately wants to know precisely where their child is at school during every minute of every day would, in my humble opinion, likely benefit from some professional counseling. Of course, this has nothing to do with parents or anything of the sort. Its going to give us the opportunity to track our students in the building, said Wendy Reyes, the principal at Jones Middle School, where 1,200 students are going to be tagged and monitored. NISD is going to begin the program by rolling it out to Jones Middle School and Jay High School, and if it is successful we could likely see it expanded significantly since it costs around $10 to $15 per ID. They may have been in the nurses office, or the counselors office, or vice principals office, but they were marked absent from the classroom because they werent sitting in the class, Reyes said. It will help us have a more accurate account of our attendance, she added. This is where it becomes clear what the real purpose is: money. According to KVUE, NISD loses $175,000 every day in state funding due to children who either are absent or tardy to class. Apparently, being able to monitor students who werent able to make it to first period could pay off greatly, potentially over $250,000 in state funding, according to district officials. Furthermore, they claim that they could obtain $1.2 million from Medicaid since they will also be monitoring the movements of the special-needs students. Another interesting aspect of their argument is the supposed convenient nature of the RFID-equipped cards. Not just locating a student, but also checking out books from the library, getting food out of the cafeteria, access to a computer lab, etcetera, Gonzalez stated. This is yet another common attempt to get people to accept invasions of privacy, as well as the classic incentivizing in which benefits are offered for those who agree to use the technology while those who refuse are barred from said benefits. While the district officials claim the chips implanted in student IDs will pay for themselves, the program will involve a start-up cost of over $500,000. It is unclear if that figure is for the entire district or just the pilot programs. Hilariously, KVUE even refers to the program as Big Brother in no uncertain terms whatsoever. But Big Brother has his limitations, because the tag can only track students within the walls of the buildings on campus, or on special-needs buses, writes Joe Conger. One would assume that they would be trying to distance this technology from the idea of Big Brother as much as possible, but oddly enough that is far from the case. It will be interesting to see if this is effective and if it will be implemented in more school districts around the nation, further teaching our children that they not only have to kowtow to police but also that they have to accept having their movements closely monitored by the so-called authorities.

2	Obamas Attorney General Threatens Conservatives With THIS Following the San Bernardino shootings, while American families mourn the loss of the 14 innocent victims, weve seen the Obama administration leverage the tragedy as an opportunity to push their own agendas. It started with President Obama. Just four hours after the terrorist attack to place, he was live on television discussing control. That same week, Loretta Lynch was pressing the urgency that Americans essentially be nice to Muslims despite fears. My message not just to the Muslim community but to all America is We cannot give in to the fear that these backlashes are really based on. Lynch said. Is it just us, or does the Obama Administration seem to be forgetting who the victims are here? 14 Christian and Jewish employees were slaughtered at a Christmas party in the name of Allah. Is the administration trying to blame the victims for this? Why is Attorney General Loretta Lynch warning the American public that the Justice Department will take action against people pushing anti-Muslim rhetoric? Why is she assuring that Muslim community that our government stands with you in this? Where is the same assurance to Christians? There have been three terrorist attacks since Paris, and the Administration is still denying the problem. If Obama refuses to take action, we need a leader who will. 
2	Obamas Rally Comes Crashing Down After Brave Patriots Storm The Stadium Doing THIS [VIDEO] Recently, protestors have been interrupting Hillary and Obamas rallies to remind Americans of something they seem to have forgotten as their attention has turned to Trump: Bill Clinton has been accused numerous times of committing sexual assault. Thats why protestors have been going to rallies to chant, Bill Clinton is a rapist! At a recent Obama rally, these chants were so dominant that he was forced to stop talking. The protestors were able to bring the rally to a halt before they were removed by security guards. You know what, heres the deal, try to get your own rally, Obama commented. You gotta get your own rally. If you cant get your own rally; dont come mess up somebody elses rally. Weve got work to do here. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
2	Everything Comes Crumbling Down For Michelle Obama Michelle Obama has aggressively tried to take over Americas school lunch programs. Unfortunately, her efforts have been one disaster after another. Now, a new study finds that children are wasting up to 56% more food thanks to her demands. University of Vermont researchers conducted a small study, capturing photos of students lunch trays as they picked food, left the lunch line, and then left their trays in the disposal area. The report concluded that children are putting more fruits and vegetables on their trays, but hardly consuming them. Food waste has increased to a whopping 56 percent. We saw this as a great opportunity to assess the policy change and ask a really important questions, which was, Does requiring a child to select a fruit or vegetable under the updated national school lunch program guidelines that came into effect in 2012 correspond with increased fruit and vegetable consumption? the lead study author Sarah Amin told reporters. The answer was clearly no. Unfortunately, students are wasting more than food. The school lunch program is costing schools millions of dollars. What do you think? Is Michelle as terrible of a leader as her husband? 
1	Saying his late father must be looking down at him and smiling, local Walgreens manager Lawrence Trow stated Wednesday that Dad would be proud of the eye-catching endcap display his son had arranged to call attention to the stores offering of Crest toothpaste. I really wish my dad were alive to see this, the misty-eyed 42-year-old said as he adjusted the topmost box in a tall stack of alternating Crest Pro-Health and Crest Tartar Protection tubes. He worked hard his whole life, and he always enjoyed seeing a job well done, you know? Ah, well. This ones for you, Dad. On the other hand, Trow added, he should perhaps be thankful his father never lived to see the hasty, shoddy work his son put into the Herbal Essences window display, which is total shit. 
1	According to a firm statement given Thursday by the institutions staff, this is the final offer that the Minnesota State Museum is going to make for the brown living room sofa used on the hit 1970s sitcom The Mary Tyler Moore Show. $30,000 is as high as were willing to gotake it or leave it, head curator Dennis Larson said in an attempt to settle four months of negotiations for the piece of furniture seen in the first five seasons of the program. Wed obviously love to have this on display; it would be a valuable addition to our collection, which already contains the fence from Grumpy Old Men and two Little House On The Prairie dresses. But turn this offer down and we walk. Larson added that under no circumstances would the museum take a bath like it did on Dennis Farinas Twins jersey from Little Big League. 
2	WATCH: Carly Fiorina Takes Nasty Spill Off Stage While Introducing Cruz [VIDEO] Carly Fiorina hasnt had much luck on the campaign trail. After introducing Ted Cruz and his family in Indiana the other night, Fiorina turned to welcome the candidate and appeared to step off the front edge of the platform. In a video that is going viral, you can watch as Heidi Cruz notices Fiorinas fall and reaches down to help her husbands selection for vice president. Ultimately, an unidentified man came to her assistance. Cruz seemed completely oblivious to the fall. He was too busy shaking hands to notice. Cruzs critics were quick to attack him for ignoring his running mates spill. Meanwhile, Fiorinas critics pointed out that this seems to be a common theme for the former HP CEO, who was speaking at the National Association of Women Business Owners in September when part of the stage collapsed around her. 
1	Holding onto their order forms and making last-minute adjustments to their outfits and hair, students at Blue Springs Senior High lined up by homeroom in the school gymnasium Monday to pose for their annual school oil portraits, sources reported. Its great to get out of class for a bit on oil portrait day, though it is kind of annoying to have to sit exactly how they tell you on that little stool and hold still and smile for five hours while they paint your image on a stretched canvas, said 10th grader Austin Burkhart, who confirmed that his mother had ordered the portrait vendors deluxe package, which includes a dozen wallet-sized oil paintings and two 8-by-10-inch portraits suitable for gilded framing, as well as Burkharts choice of a mottled blue or smoky gray backdrop. I hope it comes out okay. Last year I accidentally blinked and it completely ruined my oil painting. Sources noted that any student who was absent on school oil portrait day would be represented by a post-Impressionist still life of a bowl of fruit in the high schools yearbook.

1	Saying they didn't want to waste any more time dicking around, members of the U.S. Senate began Elena Kagan's Supreme Court confirmation hearing Monday by asking the solicitor general point-blank if she had the goods to join the nation's highest court. 'I got your master's thesis in front of me, I got some speeches you made while you were the dean of Harvard Law School, but Kagan, let's cut the shit: You gonna be able to bring it or not?' Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) asked the former Clinton policy adviser. 'Because the American people deserve a justice who won't crumble like a cupcake and run home to mommy when Second-Amendment-ruling time comes around.' After indicating that she was 'fucking born ready,' Kagan was confirmed in a unanimous 100-0 vote. 
3	We lost contact with the plane. Really?Jon Rappoport Some of these officials state contact with the plane was lost an hour after takeoff. You can probably remember similar statements about other doomed flights: lost contact. Wasnt that the case on 9/11? Lost contact appears to cover all available means of communication. Nothing on radar screens. Radio inoperative. No transponder signals picked up. In this day and age, with a blizzard of technology available to track and surveil, what is going on? Commercial jets have only one transponder? Isnt it possible to embed dozens of GPS-type devices at various points in the craft? And wouldnt those devices report a planes location, no matter how far it strayed off course? Even underwater? Isnt the US Navy able to keep tabs on its own submerged submarines? So either we are looking at an international scandal, in which modern tracking technology is not being fully applied to commercial planesor officials are lying when they say: lost contact. Attention, passengers. Before boarding this flight, you should realize only one transponder is being deployed. Although the device, plus radar, plus radio will help track your location, there are dozens of other devices we could use to make sure we know where you are. Unfortunately, the manufacturer has not yet installed them. Consult the 800 number on your ticket. Feel free to contact the manufacturer and make inquiries. If the NSA can simultaneously tap every phone in America, somehow I think they can track a giant jet, if they want to. Unless perhaps, these planes are still using a primitive communication apparatus from the 1950s.

2	ALERT: Muslims Are Storming THIS State Capital According to recent reports, a group of anti-Islamic protesters interfered with a rally of hundreds of American Muslims. The group was attempting to promote religious tolerance for Oklahoma Muslim Day at the Capitol when they were confronted by around two dozen anti-Islamic protesters. The group of Americans was inside meeting with lawmakers. The meeting was prompted by recent violence, and a growing resentment against the Muslim population. Meanwhile, the anti-Islamic group stood outside holding signs saying Islam equals Death. The Council on American-Islamic Relations claims that the goal of the event was to promote civic engagement among American Muslims, and encourage their participation in American governmental processes. They discussed racial profiling and the allowing Islam in public schools as a right of free speech. Of course, both proposals are met with strong resistance, especially by those that fear that there is already too strong of an influence by Islamic law in our government processes. According to a Fox News report, more than 70 percent of Oklahoma voters oppose Islamic law. What do you think of the debate? Does Shariah law go against fundamental American principles?

3	Town Passes Law to Use Cops to Combat Bullying by Going After the ParentsBy Matt Agorist Bullying can be problematic for many students and is most assuredly unacceptable. However, as long as there have been schools, there have been bullies. Unfortunately, bullying is inevitable. Adolescent quarrels are a frequent occurrence. As hormones rush in, children attempt to assert control over their environment as well as other children and the result can often manifest into a fight or bullying. Studies even show that bullies suffer from the same symptoms as their victims. In the past, if a fight were to break out at school, or a child would be caught bullying another child, the teachers, and in some cases, the students would rush in to stop it.In fact, studies show that bullying situations are resolved the majority of the time when a peer intervenes on behalf of the student being bullied. However, in modern-day police state USA, normal childhood behavior is now dealt with using police action. A new city ordinance in Shawano, Wisconsin now criminalizes the act of bullying. However, its not the child who will be punished, its their parents. It creates an avenue for us to work with parents to help find solutions, said Shawano Police Chief Mark Kohl. Police will work with the Shawano School District to identify bullies and notify parents, according to Kohl. Parents will then have 90 days to intervene. If they dont and their child continues to bully, they will be fined $366. If there is a second offense within one year, they will be fined $681, according to FOX 8. At this point theres no initial complaints or concerns out there, were just being proactive in working with the community to address this, Kohl said. The idea of the State turning bullying into a revenue-collection scheme is scandalous. Apparently schools find themselves powerless without using the threat of police violence to prevent bullying. While the idea of police violence soundsover the top, make no mistake about it failure to pay that $366 or $681 fine will end with police at your door, who are prepared to enact violence against you to force payment. Do schools not have the power to suspend or discipline students anymore? Fighting and bullying in school can certainly be problematic for many students, and it should not be tolerated. But the message that is sent by dealing with these issues using police violence is that only the State can be the bully. Instead of attempting to solve a problem with logic and reason, schools are now taking the easy road and turning to the barrel of a gun to force compliance. This is not only dangerous and lazy, but its entirely unnecessary. A study ofmore than 185,000 private and public school users from 2010 to 2014 revealed that bullying is largely a problem in the public school sector. Private schools, unlike public schools, have an incentive to create a safe and caring environment for their students, so they take a far more proactive approach to prevent bullying and it works. Without using police force, private schools are able to reduce bullying to levels far below that of public schools. Imagine that. What this move by the Shawano school district illustrates is the societal dependence on the State to solve matters that should be handled withoutgovernment. Being dependent upon the state to solve ones problems is a de facto dependency upon violence. The State represents violence in a concentrated and organized form. The individual has a soul, but as the State is a soulless machine, it can never be weaned from violence to which it owes its very existence. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi If you truly want a glimpse into the horrid effects of the police state on all school children, take a scroll through our archives, at this link. Until people wake up to the reality of relying on a system of violence to maintain order, we can expect this problem to get worse.

Agorist has been an independent journalist for over a decade and has been featured on mainstream networks around the world. Follow @MattAgorist Great idea. Get the heavily armed bullies to fight bullying. This is ridiculous. It is the schools responsibility to ensure that kids arent bullied, but they arent doing their job. My husband taught for 20 yrs in public school and said faculty never went after the bullies, not ever. Just DO YOUR JOB, school admins and then we dont need cops, guns or military equipment in schools. WRONG. It is parents responsibility to raise kids who a. dont bully AND b. Protect and defend those who are bullied. No different than walking by a man dying in the middle of the road or doing nothing when you hear a woman screaming rape. Stop passing the buck. It isnt school admins job to raise YOUR kids with morals, values and character. Nonsense. Obviously nobody you even know taught for 20 years. The school faculty CANNOT go after bullies parents would SUE! Even a hand laid on a kid means a lawsuit, you fool The issue isnt the bullies its the kids who do nothing to stop the bully! Teach your kids to defend and protect the innocent and weak! As usual America and this article has it WRONG. You clearly did not read the article. It does not advocate for using police to control bullying. @@@Matt Agorist: You clearly did not read the article. It does not advocate for using police to control bullying. Are you speaking about the article or the Wisconsin law? I see the reason why private schools have less of a bully problem than public schools is simply because it is a privilege to go there. Parents are PAYING out of their pockets for their child to be safe and obtain a better education. If a child is unruly and incapable of behaving, the school simply kicks them out. If they dont, the victims families pull their child out and enroll them in another private school. Public schools are a joke anymore. My child was a valedictorian at his public school and then spent an extra year in college to get caught up in his basic academics. Public schools have become baby-sitters and I feel for the teachers and staff. Their hands are so tied up that they cannot hardly get on to a student for misbehaving, let alone bullying. No different than walking by a man dying in the middle of the road or doing nothing when you hear a woman screaming rape. White knighting will get you nothingjail time of getting killed by the perp maybe..but nothing more. I Only we can bully! i dont think police should interfere in this kind of stuff, i say let them fight, then punish whoever started it. Fabulous, having the biggest bullies there are teaching kids how to not bully.ironic. 
3	Only In The World Of American Media Is Syria A Civil WarBy Brandon Turbeville As they are presented by the U.S. media, the Syrian people, like most other people across the world are completely dehumanized. In American media, Syrians are not human. They are numbers. 100 died today. 86 died the day before. Syrians are not mothers or sons. They are not fathers or little children, grandparents. They are blips on a screen and data in a spreadsheet. At least, this is how they are presented to an increasingly hardened American public, a nation that is becoming more and more desensitized to death, destruction, and degradation both at home and abroad. Having recently concluded a trip to the Middle East, I can safely say that the claims made by Western media are the opposite of the truth. While my visit centered in Lebanon, we had frequent opportunities to talk with ordinary Syrian citizens either visiting Lebanon or fleeing the ravages of the war in their home country. Indeed, Syrians and Syrian refugees were plentiful in Beirut and many would openly speak about the horrors visited upon them by the Wests proxy war and their trials outside Syria. What is so important about the fact that these Syrians were being interviewed in Lebanon is the unique benefit of talking with someone not living in their home country because one knows with relative certainty that the person speaking has nothing to lose or gain by giving a false perception of the government. After all, one of the frequent accusations leveled by the Western media is that, whenever one speaks to a Syrian actually living in Syria is that they are handicapped by that persons fear of retribution from the Syrian government. According to this train of thought, if a man criticized Assad in Syria, he might be subject to arrest and then, of course, torture, execution, and barrel bombs. But that is not the case in Lebanon. In Lebanon, even the most vocal anti-Assad Syrian can speak his mind and be safely out of Assads reach. Indeed, even out of ear shot by the Syrian government. A Syrian in Lebanon can speak his piece and do so safely in the knowledge that the alleged brutal dictator cannot reach him. That being said, out of all the Syrians I met and spoke to refugees and visitors, Muslim and Christian, male and female not one of them supported the rebels and all of them 100% fully supported their government and Bashar al-Assad. These individuals had nothing but hate for the terrorists and nothing but love for Assad and the Syrian government. This point needs to be stressed. These individuals were not under threat of a tyrant ready to arrest them if they spoke out against him. They were free of Assad. They could spit on his portrait if they wanted and there is nothing the Syrian government can do to them. Instead, they expressed an incredible amount of pride in their country, their government, and their President. So, with that in mind, if Assad and the Syrian government are barrel bombing their own citizens, committing genocide against the Syrian people, and killing civilians indiscriminately, and if Syrians are free to speak their mind about Assad in Lebanon, why couldnt I find one Syrian who wanted Assad to step down or for terrorists to bring them the freedom and democracy the West keeps yapping on about? Perhaps I was looking in the wrong places or perhaps the information coming from Western governments and their media mouthpieces are simply propaganda. Personally, Ill put my money on the latter. One striking aspect of Beirut in the context of the Syrian crisis is that one does not necessarily have to seek out the Syrians in order to speak to them. If one only wears a necklace, t-shirt, or bracelet with the Syrian flag, they will come to you. Any indication of solidarity with their country, especially exhibited by a Westerner (even better, an American) and a man who speaks only one word of English will stop whatever he is doing so that he can have a conversation with the foreigner, even if that conversation is done by body language, hand gestures, broken English, interpreters, or Google Translate alone. Others more skilled in the English language are willing to have long discussions about their experiences, their support for the government, and their hatred for the terrorists infecting their country. They would tell tales of watching people they knew killed in front of them and having lost family or very close friends at the hands of Americas moderates. Indeed, in Syria, as well as in the diaspora of the last 5 years, it seems impossible to speak with a single Syrian who has not lost someone close to them. The sheer magnitude of the crisis is unimaginable in scale, much in the way that the horrors inflicted upon the Syrian people by Americas democracy loving cannibals are beyond the comprehension of most Western audiences. But despite all the bloodshed, loss, and terror perpetrated on Syria by the United States, the Syrian spirit remains and the Syrian people remain some of the kindest, friendliest, and most hospitable people on the face of the earth. In addition, Syrians remain a seemingly highly informed audience despite the fact that their country has been crippled by warfare for the past five years and that they themselves have been turned into refugees. Knowledge not only of their own situation, but about the players behind it and the developments taking place in Europe and America is common and, while American audiences watch the 24 hours news cycle in utter befuddlement as to the events taking place in Syria, Syrians are profoundly aware of just who is responsible for the crisis their country is facing. While Americans chalk the crisis up to the they have been fighting for thousands of years line or accept the propaganda that Syria is facing a civil war, Syrians know that what they are facing is a proxy war against their government, against their very way of life, and against Russia. Syrians are fully aware of the fact that the terrorists beheading their way across the country are funded by Saudi Arabia, facilitated by Turkey and Israel, and trained by the United States. They are fully aware that there are no moderates fighting against the Syrian government and that the United States is responsible for creating the ISIS terror organization it is claiming to fight. All of this may come as a surprise to Americans but, in Syria, it is well known. With that in mind, it is an extraordinary thing that Syrians can welcome foreigners visiting their country with such patience and forgiveness. It is truly amazing that Syrian refugees struggling to survive in a foreign country is willing to sit with a citizen of the very country that destroyed his home and killed his family members, smoke hookah with him, and discuss his homeland. It is an unbelievable act of understanding and forgiveness for a man not to judge an American as the enemy and to separate the American people from their government. I was personally struck by the genuine kindness shown to me by people who have been given every legitimate reason to do otherwise. What the United States is doing to Syria is truly shameful and immoral but, despite the horrors the U.S. and NATO countries have visited upon Syria, the people have refused to give in. As Mark Twain said, Damascus has seen all that has ever occurred on earth, and still she lives. She has looked upon the dry bones of a thousand empires, and will see the tombs of a thousand more before she dies. Judging by the people I met, I am inclined to agree with him.

Correction!.lying media are SECOND worst people ever.they are well behind POLITICIANS who lie only when their lips move I disagree because the media makes it all possible. If the media was honest nobody would ever believe anything politicians say because the consumers of media would be properly informed. GAZOO is right! I think that they are mostly clueless morons. Thats the only way they get jobs these days straight out of journalism school. Naivety and subservience are characteristics that are called for if you want a media job. Yea, just the same characteristics as required to be a police officer minus the violent sadistic disposition. The MSM journalists are aiders and abetters of aggressive war which of course is illegal. Damascus is the oldest continuously inhabited city on earth. Several years ago, when the minaret of the Omayyad mosque was destroyed, American press blamed Assad, which is like saying Greeks blew up the Parthenon (which was a Christian church for more years than it was a pagan temple) just to spite the govt. When ancient Christian shrines in Aleppo were destroyed by the West and its overlords, no one lodged a bit of protest. These same forces obliterated the relics of the ancient Palmyrian Empire, which like the Byzantine Empire has all but disappeared form history books. The great people of Syria, who have lived in peace unless attacked by a certain expansionist neighbor which has stolen part of their land and water, and now their oil and gas, have no degenerated to the state of people in the West. While Americans live in poverty, they are without a Rothschild central bank and when they save their money, they get 11% interest on it, not taxes. Education is free, even medical school. Food is subsidizedno GMOs either. Family and hospitality is important; the elderly are respected and cared for, not shut in away Gulags as in the USA. The Syrian govt has no debt to the IMF or the FED. Have you checked the US debt lately? Who benefits from this situation? George Soros. All Wars are Bankers Wars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hfEBupAeo4 I tried to tell one of my fellow idiots about the death and destruction in Syria that we as Americans were paying for with our taxes. He told me Putin was killing children. I raised up and let him know in front of customers that we had murdered half a million Syrians so we could put in a pipeline. This kid turned beet red and was so mad he was shaking. He wanted to hit me and good thing he didnt. I rarely run into a fool like that anymore. Most everybody else I talk to listens. Many express horror with Uncle Scam for even considering a war with Russia. They dont know how close they are though. In 2011, president Assad of Syria was approached about running the Qatari pipeline through Syria. He had the audacity to say no! At his moment, he was a problem and was interfering with PROFITS and those who stood to lose money because of his refusal, demanded his removal and or death! SEE HILLARY CLINTON! Brandon Turbeville is correct in one sensethe American reporting is dishonest. He seems oblivious to the fact that the Syrian people view the Lebanese government as a puppet of Assad. Syrian Mukhaberat can be found in every town in Lebanon. No one would strongly state a criticism of Assad unless they were beyond caring about their own fate. I can assure you that NONE of my friends, family, neighborsor the hundred or so refugees in our city (whom we assist with virtually every aspect of life) loves Assad. No one recognizes ANY element of fighters as heroes. Our family is a religious and ethnic minority, that grew up in a mixed neighborhood of Aleppo, where everyone got along. Most of our friends are Arab Muslims, though none of us defines ourselves by religion or ethnicityexcept to share recipes that are specialties of our individual groups. We all visit one another, and bring gifts or food at our friends holy days. Our family home was bombed by the government; our family was saved by the Free Army evacuating our neighborhoodmoments before the bombs dropped. Not long after, my brother-in-law was kidnapped and held for ransom for 80 days by a small rebel group. They settled for a smaller (nominal) ransom, and he was released. There are no good guys. MOST Syrians in exile feel the same way. Dont fool yourself or lie to others. The Syrian people want freedom from a despotic regime, but fear replacing one dictator with another. So you would prefer the head choppers to Assads government? Assad may not be a saint. It is up to the Syrians to vote him out if you do not like him. As it turns out, the majority of Syrians support their president You are a 100% US GOV troll. You are now complicit in mass murder and warcrimes!. When I read this article tears come to my eyes.So compassionately written.May you have peace happiness soon. 
1	Retired post office branch manager Nancy Hollander, 97, died at her home of natural causes Tuesday, after spending her life completely unaware that she was one of the most talented musicians of the past century and possessed the untapped ability to become a world-class violin virtuoso. She is survived by two daughters, a son, six grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren, all of whom will forever remain oblivious to the national treasure Hollander would have become had she just picked up a violin even once. 'We're really going to miss Momshe was such a gentle, sensitive, perceptive person,' said Hollander's son, David, unknowingly outlining qualities that would have infused his mother's interpretation of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto with a singular, haunting beauty capable of moving the most jaded of souls. 'Even though she never drew attention to herself, Mom had such a strong, commanding presence.' 'I swear, she should have been an actress or something,' he added. Former colleagues at the U.S. Post Office branch where Hollander worked for 40 years also fondly remembered the unexploited musical genius who, had she ever taken in hand a freshly rosined bow, would have instead been fondly remembered by various musical luminaries and heads of state in a special three-hour tribute concert on PBS. What could have been Hollander's 70th birthday celebration, rather than dinner at a local seafood buffet. 'Nancy was the most gracious person I ever met,' said retired coworker Geraldine Hunter, 82, echoing nearly verbatim what Pope John Paul II would have said after inviting Hollander to play at the Vatican in 1989. 'She really lived every day to its fullest, and I don't think she could have been blessed with a better life.' Hunter also recalled Hollander's humility when being promoted to managerthe highlight of Hollander's professional life, as opposed to playing the Franck Sonata at Carnegie Hall accompanied by world-renowned pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy as Itzhak Perlman wept openly with sheer joy from the front row. According to sources, Hollander was very active in her church. Pastor Frank Davis said that she took the most joy in singing with the choir during holiday masses, an experience she would have found a hellish, atonal cacophony had she completed the highest level of ear-training at The Juilliard School, where she could have received a full scholarship based entirely on the strength of her student audition. 'To be honest, she didn't have the best singing voice in the world,' Davis said. 'But she really put her heart and soul into it, and she had an uncanny ability to sing any hymn all the way through perfectly after hearing it just once.' Davis also praised the potato salad Hollander brought to church picnics, heartbreakingly referring to it as 'world famous.' Perhaps most distraught by Hollander's passing were her great-grandchildren, who seemed to have some dim perception of being robbedalong with the rest of the worldof their great-grandmother's tour de force performances in rapt concert halls from Vienna to Tokyo. 'Grammy was really funny, like when she would play silly songs on the ukulele to make us laugh,' said Lilly, 6, referring to the instrument purchased for Hollander on her seventh birthday in 1920, her father having paused momentarily in the music store to consider a violin. 'I miss her a lot.' 'When I grow up, I want to play the ukulele just like Grammy,' Lilly added.

3	ISIS Fires American-Made Missiles At Syrian ArmyBrandon Turbeville Of course, the reality is that there is no such thing as moderate rebels in Syria. The truth is that the FSA, largely presented as moderate, is, in actuality, the same thing as Al-Qaeda, Al-Nusra, and ISIS. Regardless, the mainstream press and the governments that it represents continue to push the deception of moderates as well as the claim that NATO is opposed to ISIS. These claims, however, are becoming increasingly difficult to maintain as more and more evidence emerges from the Syrian front demonstrating them to be patently false. Such evidence involves reports producing evidence of ISIS possession of American military hardware and strong suspicion that the United States is providing direct guidance and assistance to the terrorist organization. For instance, in a report published by The Independent, entitled, How did Islamists receive American weapons? See the evidence from guided missile that exploded near Syrian front line, Robert Fisk writes that Syrias special forces troops are strung out across a pinnacle of hills here just north east of Lattakia on one of the countrys most dangerous front lines, under daily missile attack from reinforced rebel forces now supported by Isis. The officers, all of whom are paratroopers, speak of new tactics and upgraded weapons used against them since Isis seized the Iraqi city of Mosul and some of the radio traffic they listen to from their enemy is in the Chechen or Georgian languages. Intelligence reports speak of a unification of various rebel factions calling themselves the Legion of the Coast, a clear sign that the Isis-inspired rebels including Isis supporters themselves intend to strike westwards towards the Mediterranean, scarcely eight miles away. Its fair bet that a big battle is shaping up in these pine-covered mountains. [] The soldiers themselves talk of the thermal heat-seeking missiles fired at them with detailed knowledge, and agree that the mixture of Islamist groups above and to the east of them are carrying out daily probing attacks to test their defences. Intriguingly, their surveillance patrols are returning at dawn to report the sound of unidentified night-time aircraft flying into Syrian airspace from Turkey and then east, deep into Syria. The aircraft flying overhead at nighttime is obviously suspected to be American or at least NATO-operated flights, although the Syrian forces are unsure of exactly who the aircraft belongs to or even if the flights are actual planes or drones. Fisk continues with his description of the arms that ISIS militants have recently procured by writing, But their officers talk of the new TOW anti-armour weapons that have appeared in rebel hands. One officer showed me an Islamist website videotape of rebels firing a heat-seeking rocket at his own encampment just to the north of here at Qastel Maaf. The missile can be seen exploding but in fact disintegrated against concrete revetments around a tank. Most notably, Fisk recounts how parts of an ISIS-fired missile, which were brought in for evaluation by the Syrian Special Forces, actually contained damning proof that the weapons were American made. He writes, But when a corporal dragged a sack load of missile parts into a room in this Syrian hill-top fortress, it contained some fascinating evidence of the rebel armoury. Most missiles fragment into thousands of pieces on detonation but just over a month ago on 26 September a guided missile exploded deep beneath sand and earth and the fragments clearly show the name of its American arms manufacturer, circuit boards and the coding of the weapon. Part of the missile identifies the Eagle-Piche IND (Indiana) INC. company as the manufacturer and says, in English, that it is helium charged, adding rather ironically as it turns out the words: CAUTION CONTAINS 6400 PSIG He (high explosive), FEDERAL LAW FORBIDS TRANSPORATION IF REFILLED PENALTY UP TO $25,000 AND FIVE YEARS IMPRISONMENT (49 USC 1809). The Syrians do not know how this weapon which appears to have been manufactured as long ago as 1989 made its way from the US to the hands of their countrys Islamist rebels but it would not be difficult for the Americans to find out. Its full computer coding reads: DOT-E7694 NRC6400/11109/M1033 79294 ASSY 39317 MFR 54080. A battery tube from another missile fired on the fourth of last month carries an inscription indented in the metal: 132964 Battery thermal MFG DATE 12/90 LOT No (indecipherable numeral then 912 S/N 005959. These codes should make it easy for the Americans to identify the purchaser or receiver of the weapon, if they choose to do so. Fisk goes on to ask the pertinent question of How did the Islamists receive these American weapons? On the international arms market? Or from moderate rebels who were given American weapons and then sold them to the highest bidder? The answer, of course, is clear. ISIS received these weapons because the United States and NATO have been funding and arming ISIS from the very beginning. The U.S. has been arming the terrorists ever since 2010, when violence, shootings, and indiscriminate killings erupted in Syria (reported as peaceful protests in Western media). Before, during, and ever since, the United States and NATO have continued to support, train, arm, fund, and direct the death squads attempting to overthrow the Assad government. From covert CIA assistance to actual coordination from death squad experts like Robert Ford, the United States and NATO were directly responsible for the Syrian crisis. By supporting the rebels early on, NATO was, in fact, supporting ISIS, since ISIS is nothing more than the current name for what was already in place in Syria when NATO embarked on its destabilization campaign in 2010. Similar assistance was provided by Syrias neighbors and fellow Middle Eastern countries with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and a number of other Gulf State Feudal monarchies providing many of the terrorists and the money needed to pay and supply them. Jordan provided training grounds and logistics, Turkey provided the conduit and air support, and Israel provided air cover and intelligence. Such coordination and military support continues in 2014, with the U.S. now engaging in air strikes that are aimed not at ISIS but at Syrian infrastructure. In addition, many death squad fighters were recently re-armed by having arms passed from the United States to terrorist brigades that are presented as moderate by the mainstream media. These terrorists then immediately passed these arms to Jobhat al-Nusra. While the revelations that ISIS forces have access to as well as possession of U.S.-made missiles are by no means shocking revelations, they are yet one more puzzle piece fitting together the tangled web of deception that the United States and NATO have woven in their effort to overthrow Bashar Al-Assad and the secular Syrian government.

1	According to Capitol Hill sources, Rep. Bobby Schilling (R-IL) came to the painful realization this week that agribusiness lobbyist Stephen Fischer, who had been kind and generous toward him for months and had often met up with him for drinks after work, was not, in fact, his friend. 'Steve used to call all the time to catch up and ask about my family and chat about the genetically modified feedstock industry, but now, nothing,' said Schilling, who admitted he was still struggling to accept that all their 'good times' together at Washington steak houses and nightclubs had not been part of a sincere friendship. 'He was such a likable guysociable, funny, and he always somehow managed to find great seats to sold-out concerts.' 'I thought we were really tight,' Schilling added. 'But now I can't help but think he was just using me to get stricter seed-patent protections.' According to Schilling, the two first met at a Republican Party fundraiser last spring and 'hit it off' immediately. The congressman was surprised to discover Fischer seemed to share his interests in deep-sea fishing, soybean crop insurance, and Big Ten basketball, and recalled in particular how the lobbyist was impressed by Schilling's position on the House Agriculture Committee. From there, Schilling said, the high-paid employee of Cargill and Archer Daniels Midland began frequently taking him out to exclusive Washington restaurants and to his private luxury box at Baltimore Orioles games, leading Schilling to believe he had found a genuine, affable buddy. 'Sure, I found it unusual that Steve always asked me about the progress of alfalfa silage tax credits and would casually suggest potato-crop insect-management earmarks, but I never thought twice about it,' the congressman said. 'I just assumed he was curious about my work. Maybe it sounds nave, but when a guy does something really nice, like fly you out to Pebble Beach for 18 holes, you just assume he's your friend.' Schilling said any doubts he may have harbored about the friendship were assuaged by the lobbyist's endless generosity, as Fischer often presented him with 'thoughtful' gifts of single malt Scotch, once threw a $250-a-plate fundraiser for him, and always referred to him by warm, familiar nicknames like 'pal' and 'bud.' According to Schilling, it was not until after he sponsored multibillion-dollar switchgrass subsidies on Fischer's behalf that he finally recognized the lobbyist might have had ulterior motives all along. 'I pushed the Switchgrass Cultivation Act through because Steve had told me he was in a tough spot and I wanted to help out a friend,' said Schilling, referring to the highly unpopular bill that Fischer had claimed his industry desperately needed. 'I really put a lot on the line for Steve, but as soon as the legislation passed, he stopped calling. It's like he forgot I ever existed.' In the weeks since, Fischer reportedly claimed to be too busy to go out with the congressman and eventually stopped answering Schilling's calls altogether. Once he suspected manipulative behavior on Fischer's part, Schilling said he grew despondent, saddened that what he believed had been a promising friendship had vanished so suddenly and left him with nothing but a few boxes of ultra-premium cigars and $47,000 in campaign contributions. The crestfallen legislator said he now felt unsure who his true friends were, and had begun to question whether fellow congressmen, prominent donors, and even his constituents actually cared about him as a personor whether they all just wanted something from him. 'It really hurt when I found out Steve threw a catered party at [Washington bistro] Marcel's last week and didn't invite me,' Schilling said. 'Suddenly he meets all these people from the Department of Agriculture and the FDA and he doesn't want anything to do with me anymore.' 'I remember Steve used to always tell me we should go down to his cabin in Virginia for a fishing trip some weekend, but I guess that's never going to happen now,' added Schilling, sighing. 'God, I'm such an idiot!' Taking note of Schilling's malaise, several of his congressional colleagues have reportedly come forward in recent days to offer reassuring words and try to cheer him up. 'Bobby's a young freshman congressman, new to D.C., and it can be hard to make friends in this town,' said Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT), who admitted he made his own multibillion-dollar mistake with a Wall Street special interest in 1980. 'One day he'll form a good, long-lasting friendship with a health insurance corporation or oil company that truly appreciates him and supports him as much as he supports it. All of us eventually do.'

The mosque is directed by a man who pleaded guilty for raising support for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). The information was revealed after a Florida Family Association supporter happened to look at the wall behind the checkout line at a Sams Club in Florida. There, he saw a large photograph of the check made out to the Islamic Community of Tampa. Now, Sams Club is facing serious criticism for supporting Islam, and its Christian customers are threatening to boycott. What do you think? Are you going to stop shopping at Sams Club? 
3	Iraqis in Mosul Find US Missiles at Captured Islamic State BaseBy Kurt Nimmo, Blacklisted News The discovery did not warrant a headline on CNN or The New York Times. Several US-made missiles were found in al-Shoura region to the South of Mosul, reports Irans al-Alam News Network, citing a local source. The ISIL terrorists have sent US-made TOW anti-tank missiles to Tal Afar and it is quite evident that they are preparing for a long-term war, an Iraqi security official told an Arabic-language media outlet. In early 2015 Qasim al-Araji, the head of the Badr Organization in Iraq, told parliament he had evidence the US armed the Islamic State, according to a report carried by the Arabic language Almasalah. Iranian media and other sources claim US military aircraft dropped weapons in areas held by the Islamic State. The Iraqi intelligence sources reiterated that the US military planes have airdropped several aid cargoes for ISIL terrorists to help them resist the siege laid by the Iraqi army, security and popular forces, Iraqi intelligence claimed in December, 2014. What is important is that the US sends these weapons to only those that cooperate with the Pentagon and this indicates that the US plays a role in arming the ISIL. In January 2015 Iraqi MP Majid al-Ghraoui said American aircraft delivered weapons and equipment to ISIS southeast of Tikrit, located in Salahuddin province. The Iraqi Parliaments National Security and Defense Committee has access to the photos of both planes that are British and have crashed while they were carrying weapons for the ISIL, the leader of the committee Hakem al-Zameli said, according to the Arabic-language information center of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq. Last February Irans FARS News Agency reported the Iraq Army shot down two British planes delivering weapons to the Islamic State. Both the Islamic State and al-Nusra are in possession of US-made BGM 71E TOW anti-tank missiles. The London-based organization Conflict Armament Research (CAR) previously reported that ISIS fighters are using significant quantities of arms including M16 assault rifles marked property of the US government. CAR has documented a CIA-Saudi program begun in 2012 that has provided thousands of tons of weaponry to insurgents (jihadi mercenaries) in Syria. The weapons are shared with the Islamic State. Conflict Armament Research was able to trace the serial numbers of weapons recovered by Kurds battling ISIS in Eastern Syria back directly to the CIA-Saudi weapons airlift program, notes Brad Hoff for Levant Report. If Hillary Clinton is elected next week the restocking of the Islamic States arsenal and the war in Syria will continue. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton waived restrictions at the State Department on selling weapons to Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Qatar, all states that had donated to the Clinton Foundation. Saudi Arabia had chipped in at least $10 million, and Boeing added another $900,000 as Secretary Clinton made it her mission to get Saudi Arabia the planes with which it would attack Yemen, writes David Swanson. Clinton is well aware the Gulf Emirates arm and provide logistical assistance to the Islamic State. While this military/para-military operation is moving forward, we need to use our diplomatic and more traditional intelligence assets to bring pressure on the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups in the region, Clinton wrote in an email to John Podesta. Clinton did not mention Obamas secret authorization in 2013 that armed jihadis fighting to overthrow Bashar al-Assad in Syria. The deal allowed the Saudis to arm jihadis with US weapons. It also permitted the CIA to train the mercenaries on how to use the weapons, including anti-tank missiles, The New York Times reported. Kurt Nimmo is the editor of Another Day in the Empire. He is the former lead editor and writer of Infowars.com. As usual, the US is playing a dirty game and betraying all of us at the same time. Arming ISIL is beyond gross hypocrisy and deserves UN censure! I know for a fact Trump would stop that hideous stupidity immediately upon entering the oval office. Mme. Clinton, on the other hand. would double up on the armaments getting into the hands of these evil terrorists! That is the truth! And weve known about this for more than 3 years. Most informed people know that the U.S. has been supporting ISIS. The latest batch of Emails on Wiki Leaks prove that both Hillary and Obama have been financing ISIS. This was part of their regime change program in Syria. They wanted to keep it secret. But, the truth is coming out. Merchants of Death, Destruction, Disease and Misery dont deserve to be rewarded! 
2	Obama Not Welcome In Roseburg, Heres What Happened [VIDEO] According to recent reports, David Jaques, publisher of the Roseburg Beacon, has just told Breitbart News that President Obama will not be welcome in the town after he used the Oregon shooting to push his own agenda. Jaques also claims that officials of Douglas County will likely not embrace Obama with open arms. He concluded that a visit by the President would mean a campaign stop for an agenda to take away American citizens right to own firearms. Finally, Jaques applauded Sheriff John Hanlin, who spoke out against Obama by deciding to put the administration on notice that if you pass any laws, edicts or executive actions that are either unconstitutional or extra-constitutional, they will not be enforced in Douglas County. 
1	In an extremely brief press conference on the steps of City Hall, area psychopath Roland Walling, 46, announced Monday that he is on the lookout for potential victims in the unprovoked shootout that he expects will leave at least three dead and up to 10 wounded next Tuesday. 'I'm asking for the community's help in piecing together the details of Tuesday's pointless, bloody attack,' Walling said. 'There's no clear motivation for my horrendous act, so I'm having a good deal of difficulty developing a coherent plan of action.' While many details of the grisly shooting are still unknown, Walling said he will most likely walk into the post office on Tryon Street shortly after noon, draw a 9 mm semiautomatic handgun from beneath his jacket, and begin shooting at random. 'Right now, the community's involvement is essential,' Walling said. 'I have no solid leads for potential victims, so please contact me immediately if you can be a target for my insane outburst of rage, or if you know someone who might be willing to be shot.' Added Walling: 'I repeatanyone who can be in the vicinity of the Tryon Street post office between 12:15 and 12:18, please come forward.' Walling urged victims to call him at 659-4066, visit him at his dilapidated mobile home in Sugar Hill Park, or 'just swing by the post office Tuesday.' He added that volunteers who wish to remain anonymous should remove all identification from their pockets and destroy their dental records before approaching the scene of the forthcoming crime. Homicide detective Ryan Fowles of the Charlotte Police Department expects to be the first at the scene. 'It sounds like it will be like nothing I'll have ever seen in my 20 years in law enforcement,' Fowles said. 'It's going to be hard on all of us, largely because there will be no good reason why this will have had to have happened.' In spite of the inevitable confusion that will attend this sort of unimaginable tragedy, emergency response teams say they will do everything they can when the time comes. 'Next week's tragedy will no doubt remind me why I took this job,' said Memorial Hospital EMT Kim Paulkins. 'There will be no way we could have been prepared for it, but the important thing is that we all act professionally and do our jobs when the unthinkable happens. I'll just wish that, if someone has to die, I could have done something to have saved him or her. I'll just have to tell myself next week that I did everything I could.' Fowles said the families of those involved will be notified as soon as the victims are shot. Nonetheless, many potential victims have been reluctant to step forward and help the gunman. 'I'm sorry, but there's no way I'm getting involved in this upcoming shootout,' said Mindy Grant, who lives next door to the post office. 'That crazy man will just have to find someone else to kill. No, thank you. I know better.' Beth Kammerman, who has worked at the Tryon Street post office for 11 years, will leave a husband and two daughters behind if she is hit by one of Walling's bullets. 'I'm sure I won't be able to believe the things I see,' Kammerman said. 'I'll have to ask myself, 'Why did God allow this to happen?' Especially if there's children, who won't have done nothing to nobody.' Sidney Crawson said next week's shooting is exactly the kind of thing she has warned her fellow residents about. 'Everyone will say, 'It was so sudden, it came out of nowhere,'' Crawson said. 'The authorities should be able to see this coming, if you ask me. I'll have some hard questions to ask people next week, believe me. I just hope I'm lucky enough to be alive to say this after the fact.' Contacted at his home, Walling said he expects to be wounded by a shot fired by either a gun-carrying postal employee or an off-duty cop, but he believes he will manage to escape from the scene of the crime in a late-model Honda.

3	Thousands Of Companies Have Been Handing Over Your Personal Data To The NSAMichael Snyder When U.S. Representative Loretta Sanchez said that what Edward Snowden had revealed was just the tip of the iceberg, she wasnt kidding. The U.S. government is trying to collect as much information about everyone on the planet as it possibly can. And this incredibly powerful intelligence machine is not going to go away just because a few activists get upset about it. The United States government spends more than 80 billion dollars a year on intelligence programs. Those that have spent their careers constructing this monolithic intelligence apparatus are doing to defend it to the bitter end, as will the corporate partners in the private sector that rake in enormous profits thanks to big fat government contracts. But if the American people dont stand up and demand change now, it is going to be a signal to those doing the snooping that they can push the envelope even more because nobody is going to stop them. So why are thousands of companies handing over your personal data to the NSA? Well, according to Bloomberg they are getting things in return Thousands of technology, finance and manufacturing companies are working closely with U.S. national security agencies, providing sensitive information and in return receiving benefits that include access to classified intelligence, four people familiar with the process said. These programs, whose participants are known as trusted partners, extend far beyond what was revealed by Edward Snowden, a computer technician who did work for the National Security Agency. The role of private companies has come under intense scrutiny since his disclosure this month that the NSA is collecting millions of U.S. residents telephone records and the computer communications of foreigners from Google Inc (GOOG). and other Internet companies under court order. Makers of hardware and software, banks, Internet security providers, satellite telecommunications companies and many other companies also participate in the government programs. In some cases, the information gathered may be used not just to defend the nation but to help infiltrate computers of its adversaries. Along with the NSA, the Central Intelligence Agency (0112917D), the Federal Bureau of Investigation and branches of the U.S. military have agreements with such companies to gather data that might seem innocuous but could be highly useful in the hands of U.S. intelligence or cyber warfare units, according to the people, who have either worked for the government or are in companies that have these accords. We have become a surveillance society, and this is exactly the sort of thing that the Fourth Amendment was supposed to protect us against. The government is only supposed to invade our privacy and investigate us when there is probable cause to do so. But now the government is trying to collect as much information about all of us as it possibly can even though the vast majority of us will never be charged with any crime. There seems to be no limit when it comes to how much personal data the government wants to gather on all of us. As I have written about previously, the chief technology officer at the CIA says that they fundamentally try to collect everything and hang onto it forever. And this does not just apply to American citizens. The U.S. government is compiling data on everyone on the planet. And since such a high percentage of Internet traffic flows through U.S. networks and U.S. companies, that gives the U.S. intelligence community a tremendous home-field advantage. The following is from a recent piece authoredby Ronald Deibert, a professor of political science at the University of Toronto While cyberspace may be global, its infrastructure most definitely is not. For example, a huge proportion of global Internet traffic flows through networks controlled by the United States, simply because eight of 15 global tier 1 telecommunications companies are American companies like ATT, CenturyLink, XO Communications and, significantly, Verizon. The social media services that many of us take for granted are also mostly provided by giants headquartered in the United States, like Google, Facebook, Yahoo! and Twitter. All of these companies are subject to U.S. law, including the provisions of the U.S. Patriot Act, no matter where their services are offered or their servers located. Having the worlds Internet traffic routed through the U.S. and having those companies under its jurisdiction give U.S. national security agencies an enormous home-field advantage that few other countries enjoy. But what is really the point of all of this intelligence gathering? Is it to make us a little bit safer? If so, we are making a massive mistake. Benjamin Franklin once wrote the following: They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Are you willing to give up your Fourth Amendment rights in order to feel a little more safe? I hope not. The U.S. Constitution never guaranteed us safety. But it is supposed to guarantee our privacy. Fortunately, it appears that at this point public opinion is very much against all of the snooping that the government has been doing. According to the Guardian, most of the recent surveys that have been done are coming up with very consistent results Thursday, the Guardian released a poll conducted on Monday and Tuesday nights by Public Policy Polling looking at Americas reaction to the National Security Agency (NSA) controversy. The public appears to be reacting negatively to the revelations and it seems to be hurting President Obama. We found 50% of American voters believe the NSA should not be collecting telephone or internet records, compared to the 44% who think they should. The results hold even when respondents were told that the data the government is collecting is metadata (and not necessarily actual content of communications). These results are consistent with a CBS News poll, Fox News poll, and YouGov survey that showed only 38%, 32%, and 35% of Americans respectively approved of phone record collection in order to reduce the chance of a terrorist attack. A Gallup poll was consistent with these, showing only 37% approved monitoring of Americans phone and internet use. And Americans also seem to be very suspicious about what the government will do with our personal data once they have it. In fact, according to a new Rasmussen survey, 57 percent of Americans believe that the government will use the information that it collects to harass political opponents. And of course many of the recent scandals that have erupted this year involve the government harassing political opponents. We have seen this with the IRS scandal, and we have seen this with the spying on reporters scandal. Just this week it was reported that CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson has had her computers hacked repeatedly. If you are not familiar with Attkisson, she is the one reporter in the mainstream media that has been relentless when it has come to pursuing the Operation Fast and Furious and Benghazi stories. Now we are learning that a sophisticated intruder hacked into her computer on multiple occasionsin late 2012 CBS News announced Friday that correspondent Sharyl Attkissons computer was hacked by an unauthorized, external, unknown party on multiple occasions, confirming Attkissons previous revelation of the hacking. CBS News spokeswoman Sonya McNair said that a cybersecurity firm hired by CBS News has determined through forensic analysis that Attkissons computer was accessed by an unauthorized, external, unknown party on multiple occasions in late 2012. Evidence suggests this party performed all access remotely using Attkissons accounts. While no malicious code was found, forensic analysis revealed an intruder had executed commands that appeared to involve search and exfiltration of data. This party also used sophisticated methods to remove all possible indications of unauthorized activity, and alter system times to cause further confusion. CBS News is taking steps to identify the responsible party and their method of access. Meanwhile, in a desperate attempt to deflect attention away from all of these scandals, Barack Obama is starting a war with Syria. In this war, we are actually going to be helping al-Qaeda rebels that are beheading Christians to take over Syria. If you arent aware of the deep connection between al-Qaeda and the Syrian rebels, just read the recent USA Today article entitled Syrian rebels pledge loyalty to al-Qaeda or any of the dozens of other articles that you can find on the Internet that document this very clearly. And the sick thing is that a large number of Republicans are actually applauding Barack Obama for teaming up with al-Qaeda. Has it suddenly become conservative to help al-Qaeda? What in the world is going on? And you know what? The truth was that our troops were in position long before Barack Obama made his stunning announcement on Thursday. In fact, it has been confirmed that U.S. troops are already in Jordan along the Syrian border. And could this conflict with Syria actually set the stage for a much larger conflict? The Russians have been providing mortars, light artillery, antiaircraft guns, antitank weapons and ammunition to the Syrian government and they have loudly denounced the latest moves by the Obama administration. Yes, the Assad government is horrible, but what Obama is doing in Syria is a terrible, terrible mistake. If the U.S. takes down the Assad government, forces loyal to al-Qaeda and other radical jihadists are going to take over and we will have made Russia and China very angry. If the U.S. is unsuccessful in removing the Assad government, it will be considered a crushing defeat for the United States. Either way, we lose. So what do you think about all of this?

2	Obama Makes Absolutely Absurd Statement About Muslims Immigrants In America You Will Be FURIOUS Once again, President Obama is infuriating Americans by honoring Muslims at the expense of other religions and beliefs. This time, Obama spoke out while honoring the month of Ramadan with a dinner held at the White House. Throughout our history, Islam has contributed to the character of our country, and Muslim Americans, and their good works, have helped to build our nation, Obama told the audience. And weve seen the results. Weve seen those results in generations of Muslim immigrantsfarmers and factory workers, helping to lay the railroads and build our cities. Muslim innovators who helped build some of our highest skyscrapers and who helped to unlock the secrets of our universe. As if that statement werent enough, Obama goes on to quote the Koran. Whoever does an atoms weight of good, will see its results, the President quoted. When I look around the room tonight, beyond the communities you represent, I see all the profound good thats been accomplished. So all of us are seeing the results of your good workthe opportunities to create for your colleagues and your communities and for our country. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Does Obama clearly have a biased agenda? 
3	Not Even Police Were Told About This Active Shooter DrillBy Mac Slavo It isnt the first time that military, SWAT teams, FBI, police and Homeland Security officials have conducted large-scale emergency exercises inside cities and frightened the locals. Joint task force mock disasters, raids and response teams now routinely takeover local areas in order to prepare for martial law and a thorough police state, and people are often riled by the sounds of explosions, gunshots, helicopters and teams of men in black uniforms. But this time, even the local police werent told about the drill taking place even though it was happening within their own department. As NBC reported: Bystanders didnt take long to call police last month when they spotted a couple of suspicious men skulking around a New Jersey train station taking photos of security cameras. Port Authority cops turned on lights and sirens and rushed to the scene in hour traffic. According to an incident report obtained by the I-Team, the two men said they were testing the system. But what made this test different than the regular drills practiced is that none of the officers in the police department not even the supervisors knew it was a test. According to president of the Port Authority police union, the consequences could have been deadly. . The Port Authority spokesman said it is customary not to tell officers about active shooter drills in the terminals. Port Authority police in New Jersey were startled to respond to calls that led to an active shooter training scenario that ultimately involved their own security team running a test. This video breaks down the possible implications of this unannounced test which may seem paranoid to some, but it likely a routine part of managing crises in the public eye. A test in order to keep the public safe from these and other threats. But is it safe or is it just police state? It seems even the police are questioning these eerie training scenarios which seem to foretell a future full of crisis events and greater government controls: Its dangerous, said Paul Nunziato, president of the Port Authority Police Benevolent Association. What would this interview be right now if my guys hit somebody? What if some woman or a little child got killed? Its not the only time Port Authority officials have conducted security drills that the police union says posed risks to their officers and the public. On the day of the recent terrorist attacks in Brussels, Port Authority conducted a nine-minute active shooter drill at JFK airport. [Nunziato asked] Would you scare the crap out of every person in that terminal with cops running in, lights and sirens, with heavy weapons, thinking something was going on. To make matters worse, history shows that many real-life terror attacks took place during drills by government agencies, raising serious questions about the real motives and perpetrators behind some of the most well-known events in recent history. If the drill is that secret, what are they really hiding? And where is it that someone is planning to hit next?

The corruption has gone so far, your systems that you depend on for your very safety are the very ones threatening you. A PEOPLE DESERVE ANY REGIME THEY ENDURE. In a sane world, if drills and training like this are necessary, (but in a sane world the justice system WORKS so this wouldnt be needed) they are conducted AWAY from the population so no one gets hurt. Ive heard many negative comments about the stockholm syndrome being displayed by the sick people in europe tolerating the immigration invasion and subsequent crime wave, but we have the same problem here people so dimwitted they cant see their attacker right in front of them because the mind job has done its work in convincing them that this cant be an attacker because they have titles and badges. In the end this problem will take care of itself because nature demands people this stupid and cowardly are not meant to survive. Congress must make these illegal unannounced drills stop You mean the same congress who allows the executive branch to wage war without their approval? Yep, and the same Congress that voted to re-enact the heinous Patriot Act along with the Gestapo Homeland Security, TSA and FEMA, the nearly total loss of all of our citizens rights in the Bill of Rights. Think about this. What is motivating this? Nothing but the use of raw power to gain control. Power is taken, not given. Did you ever think we ought to take back our power )of the people, by the people, for the people) weve so foolishly ceded to Congress and the Executive branch? It could be done by simply refusing to obey civil disobedience is a very effective tool. Its hard to believe but real nonetheless, . . . response teams now routinely takeover local areas in order to prepare for martial law and a thorough police state . . . Bravo! This is what I keep saying! Refusing to obey by everyone is the only way. Yes they will resist and start shooting us on the streets. Well, some will because a lot law people are starting to wonder about things now. None the less, We need to totally overwhelm them and break every silly law possible. Ask yourself, what can they do? I would rather die fighting than live under some cockroaches plan for a NWO. And im sure they know that about me now You must be referring to a different Congress. Um, yeah, im sure they will listen to you, friend Just proves your safety is of no concern ABSOLUTELY. Great post This how false flags are brought to look real and paid for crisis actors and then the exciting hunt for perp as in the Boston marathon. BTW:Telmar stop the incessant posting I am 100% a believer in thc/cbd it is in love with our dna. but this is internet graffiti. What if these crisis actors all come out and tell the truth at some point? I have noticed the same actors doing multiple jobs! Why cant people see this for what it is? The boston flag was a good one. People already missing limbs used to let people think they had them blown off there and then. I saw a pic of one guy with his leg blown off laughing his head off. Honestly, other than people like us, im thinking they want us to see how far gone and stupid the public really are. Its like they are rubbing our faces in it If police shoot them it wont seem like a good idea 
1	Messages of support for GOP candidate Mike Brant have been flooding our inbox. Here's a small sampling: 'We don't need leaders who went to good schools or have experience in government or can name their own state's capitol. We need leaders like Mike Brant!' --Randi M., Jacksonville, FL 'As soon as Mike Brant said he wasn't a politician and will never agree to hold any office, I knew he was right for this country.' --Rudolph K., Houston 'In 2010, I voted for a former male model for senator. Mike Brant seems like he knows even less, so I'm definitely throwing my support behind him.' --Frank A., Boston, MA 'Mike Brant isn't going to give us 'politics as usual' because he doesn't even know what that would entail.' --Tammy W., Cleveland, OH 'Mark my words, Brant is going all the way to the White House! We'll make him president even if we have to handcuff him to the desk in the Oval Office!' --Jeannie, Aurora, CO 
3	Melinda Gates: Family Planning Means Sterilizing Women in Developing NationsSusanne Posel, Contributor Both governmental and private sector representatives will be in attendance; where not only will lucrative deals for provision of contraception will be made, but the BMGF will secure donated funds to bring their brand of depopulation to third world nations. The BMGF assert that by 2050 the global population is expected to grow to over 9 billion people and this isunacceptable to them . By applying pressure to social programs and resources, the BMGF want to use family planning as an investment for all national governments globally. Delegates at the LFPS will team up with non-governmental organizations like The White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood (WRA) wherein they have pledged to make sure policies and political leaders are properly swayed in the direction of support their campaign. The Department for International Development (DID) claims that as women die from unwated preganacy, those victims are prime candidates for their depopulation agenda. By simply controlling their ability to be fertile, the lives of countless women will be saved. Andrew Mitchell, aide to the DID said: It is a shocking fact that pregnancy can be a death sentence for many girls and women in the developing world. What is all the more devastating is that many of these pregnancies were unintended. BMGF have already been part of the UNs land grab efforts in Africa, and now have given donations in coerced acquisition of African dairy farms. An $8.5 million dollar grant was extended through governmental channels in support of the East Africa Dairy Development project (EADD). The NGOs associated with the UN in usurping lands from African farmers is also involved in the clever imitative with the BMGF to takeover profits and infrastructure of small dairy farms. These groups are Heifer International (HI), who received $8 million in fundingfrom BMGF, is in partnership with TechnoServe, The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), World Agroforestry Research Institute and Africa Breeders Services. In London, Gates has had her rhetoric prepared in response to the supposed controversy surrounding contraceptives. Speaking with CNN, Gates gave her diatribe on how she justifies her position as part of the global Elite who are actively seeking to depopulate the planet by 90%; starting in the third world nations. By supporting this effort, Gates believes she can prevent 40% of people who would otherwise have been born, there by justifying family planning as a scheme to make women healthier who have families are more successful and their communities are more prosperous. Simply put: the BMGF has classified unwanted pregnancies and they are focusing on eventually eliminating this number to reduce the worlds population. Africa, a big focus for the BMGF is being targeted along with Muslim nations. In Senegal, Gates explains the BMGF are investing in a pilot project to ensure that health clinics are always stocked with the full range of modern contraceptives, including implants, injectables and IUDs to make sure their depopulation agenda is secure. The more sterilized women in poorer nations, the faster the overall human population will decrease. BMGF has partnered with drug corporations like Shanghai Dahua Pharmaceuticalsin China to develop implantable fertility controls that will be used in over 20 developing countries to curb population growth. Gates has created a propaganda cartoon where the campaign to sterilize millions of women with Depo-Preovera is celebrated. She also remarked at a TEDxChange conferencethat Depo-Provera is best because it enables women to receive a shot behind their husbands backs. Gates says: Unfortunately this year a billion couples will have sex with one another . . . and Gates only contention is that sterilization by way of contraception would give them the right to decide whether or not to have a child. In the propaganda cartoon, the depiction of brown and black women as disfigured potatoes having much more fun because they have fewer children is not only offensive, but telling of how these global Elite view the people they purport to be saving. By preventing births, the film says that 600,000 people would not be born. Contraception as a first step in the global Elites plan to depopulation by appearing to help save lives of women could be quite effective. The racial slurs in this promotional video are offensive to even supporters of the BMGF, who saidthat it is condescending, inaccurate, and racist to imply that only dark-skinned people need our (white-skinned peoples) help, and loses all credibility the way it is. The future has no fathers, according to Gates. Only one child, only one woman. The focus of BMGF on third world nations is clear. They are the most densely populated areas of the world. Their governments are able to take more advantage of their citizens than in industrialized countries. And they are less educated as to the real dangers posed by these NGOs, the BMGF and makeshift medical clinics where surgical procedures to force sterilize their countrymen and women.

1	Saying that the program's flashing lights and rapid-fire question-and-answer rounds were unlike anything previously known to humanity, 24-year-old Adam Green told reporters Friday that he had found his parents watching an entirely undiscovered game show during his trip home Friday. I have no idea what that show wassome sort of timed competitionbut they seemed pretty into it, and Mom was even yelling out answers and commenting on all the prizes,' said Green, noting that his parents were eager to inform him how several earlier contestants had been ousted from the program during an elimination round, a seemingly involved process that, despite careful analysis, Green himself had no basis for understanding. It was impossible to tell if the show was new or if it was running in syndication. And I didn't catch the show's name, but I think it was something like Grab The Money or maybe Quizbusters. I know the host was named 'Alec,' but that's about it. Green noted that this was the most intriguing development since his discovery in 2013 that his parents each apparently possessed a never-before-documented brand of smartphone. 
2	Trump and Putin Form Public Alliance Against Obama And Terrorism Russian President Vladiimir Putin made a public announcement that he favors Donald Trump for president. At the same time he indirectly spoke of his disapproval of Obama. Trump responded to Putin with great enthusiasm. It is always a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond, the GOP presidential front-runner told supporters at a rally in Columbus, Ohio. I have always felt that Russia and the United States should be able to work well with each other towards defeating terrorism and restoring world peace, not to mention trade and all of the other benefits derived from mutual respect, he added. Trump and Putin seem to have two goals in mind. First, they want Obama out of the White House as soon as possible. That has been made abundantly clear. Second, it seems they will be teaming up once Trump is president to fight terrorism head on. Do you think this alliance is exactly what we need in order to fight terrorism? 
2	Muslim Refugees Viciously Attack Police... Obama Doesnt Want You To See This [VIDEO] At this point, it is absurd that President Obama is trying to convince the American people Muslim refugees do not pose a threat to our country. All one has to do to prove him wrong is look at what is already happening around the world. According to recent reports, 18 police officers in Macedonia were recently injured after coming into contact with a group of stranded migrants on the southern border of Greece. Two of the officers are facing hospitalizations. Reports indicate that violence broke out after a 24-year-old migrant was burned touching a high-voltage cable constructed on the border. The incident escalated tensions that were already brewing about the fence, and migrants began to violently hurl stones at the police officers who were monitoring the checkpoint. The fence was part of an effort by Macedonian officials to prevent illegal crossings and to channel migrants through an official checkpoint. The country has claimed that the intend to help migrants, and this is what they are getting for it. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is this a clear warning to Obama about the dangers that America faces if we move forward with his ridiculous plan? 
2	Things Take A Turn When Patriots Arm Themselves To Defend America From Muslims [VIDEO] Many Americans have had enough of Obamas ridiculous Syrian Refugee program. They have decided to take arms in defense of our country. The group calls itself the Bureau on American Islamic Relations, and they met outside of an Islamic Center of Irving to protest the Syrian Refugee plan. There is much controversy over whether taking arms is going over the top. We think this is exactly what we need to get our message across. No bullets have been fired, but Americans need their voices to be heard. Watch the video below for the more detailed story. Do you support these patriots who have American interests at heart? 
2	BREAKING: Trump Family Suffers Tragic Loss... Call For Supporters Prayers According to recent reports, the Trump family is mourning the loss of Milka Milisavljevic, the Serbian woman who nannied for the Trump children for over a decade. Milisavljevic passed away at the age of 85-years-old. Daily Mail reports that Milisavljevic died in the Serbian capital of Belgrade earlier this week after suffering from a short illness. Her funeral is set to be held on Saturday. She leaves behind her two sons and multiple grandchildrenall of whom live in the United States. Milisavljevic came to the United States from Serbia in the late 1970s and started working with the Trump family shortly after Donald Jr. was born. She stayed with the family for eight years, also watching over Ivanka and Eric. Milisavljevic took her job very seriously, and even kept a gun on her for the safety of the Trump children. She had gone to military school in her youth so was well prepared to handle any situation that might have arisen. After leaving the Trump family, Milisavljevic continued working in the United States until she moved back to the capital about 15 years. She continued her relationship with the Trump family, who in a letter of recommendation described her as hard working, caring, responsible and patient. After Trump was named the president-elect, Milisavljevic spoke out in favor of himwishing she could see the children just one more time. Will you send your prayers to Milisavljevics family and friends during this difficult time? 
1	Travelers on United Airlines were reportedly unsettled on Thursday after observing that the carrier was part of some sort of mysterious coalition of airlines known as the Star Alliance. What are they, some sort of galactic fighter force? Have we been recruited as footsoldiers for an impending interplanetary war? said traveler Bruce Cathcart, adding that he only wanted to visit his sister, not align himself with a secretive group that holds outposts in Tokyo, Frankfurt, and the Epsilon Indi star system. Who am I now allied against? Do we have enemies? Im just trying to fly to Atlanta here, not act as a pawn in some interstellar power scheme. At press time, Cathcart had gotten over his misgivings once a round of complimentary beverages was served.

2	Obama Threatens Blacks With This If They Dont Vote For Hillary... Disgusting On Saturday, President Barack Obama took the stage to speak to the Congressional Black Caucus, begging the black community to vote for Hillary Clinton in November. We have achieved historical turnout in 2008 and 2012, especially in the African-American community, he told the crowd. I will consider it a personal insult and an insult to my legacy if this community lets down its guard and fails to activate itself in this election. You want to give me a good-send off? Go vote. Clinton already holds a lead over Trump with black voters, nearing 80 percent. But that 80 percent wont do much if those voters are not enthusiastic enough to go vote for her. If you care about our legacy, realize everything we stand for is at stake, Obama commented. All the progress weve made is at stake in this election. My name may not be on the ballot, but our progress is on the ballot. Tolerance is on the ballot. Democracy is on the ballot. Justice is on the ballot. Good schools are on the ballot. Ending mass incarceration, thats on the ballot right now. And there is one candidate who will advance those things, and there is another candidate whose defining principle, the central theme of his candidacy is opposition to all that weve done. Theres no such thing as a vote that doesnt matter, it all matters. Clinton also issued a stern warning of what would happen under a Trump presidency, and once again promised to continue Obamas legacy. We need ideas not insults, real plans to help struggling Americans in communities that have been left out and left behind, not prejudice and paranoia, Clinton commented. We cant let Barack Obamas legacy fall into the hands of someone who doesnt understand, whos dangerous and divisive vision for our country will drag us backwards. Watch her full speech below as well. What do you think? Is this absolutely pathetic? 
3	If This Keeps Up, They Will Have To Start Putting Armed Guards On Food TrucksMichael Snyder Last month, it was coffee. J.M. Smucker, one of the largest coffee producers in the United States, announced that it planned to raise coffee prices by about 9 percent. And Starbucks has announced a bunch of price increases across the board on their coffee products. Of course we could all survive without chocolate and coffee, but as you will see below just about every food category is becoming more expensive. If this keeps up, could we eventually see armed guards in grocery stores and on food trucks? On Wednesday, Robert Wenzel of the Economic Policy Journal shared some new data that has just been released by the federal government about food inflation over the past year. Without a doubt, these numbers are quite startling According to the latest data released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, year-over-year gains in some food products at the producer level have been truly spectacular. Eggs for fresh use are up 33.9%. Unfortunately, paychecks for most American families are not going up at similar rates. I try to do all my local errands in one day and go up to the mall, said Helon Rapfogel of New Jersey. I used to go maybe twice or three times a week, and now I just go one day a week, if that much. And I try to consolidate things. Rapfogel said that higher costs for food and gas are hitting her overall budget. At the grocery store, meat, dairy and fruit prices are all up substantially. People are even paying more for lattes at their local coffee shops. And its not just foodgas prices have jumped sharply on geopolitical unrest, and at the moment theres no relief in sight. So why is all of this happening? Well, the truth is that a lot of factors have combined to produce something of a perfect storm. First of all, we should talk about Federal Reserve money printing. Since the last financial crisis, the Fed has been on an unprecedented money printing spree. This has dramatically pushed up the prices of stocks, commodities and just about everything else. It was naive to think that we wouldnt eventually see substantial food inflation as well. Just look at what quantitative easing has done to M1 since the last recession It is just basic economics. But according to Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen, there is absolutely no reason to be concerned. The following is a video of her telling the press her view on inflation that I shared in aprevious article But crazy Fed money printing is not the only reason why food prices are going up. The endless drought in the western half of the country is severely hurting food production as well. In addition, we are also dealing with the worst pork virus to ever hit the United States right now. Porcine epidemic diarrhea has already wiped out about 10 percent of the pig population in the U.S., and approximately 100,000 more are dying each week. As you saw above, pork prices are already up 28 percent over the past 12 months, and if a solution is not found to this virus the price increases are going to get much worse. Down in Florida, citrus growers are facing a horrific outbreak of citrus greening disease. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says that orange production in the U.S. will be down 18 percent compared to last year, and it is expected that this will be the worst crop in close to 30 years. Another plague known as the TR4 fungus has hit banana production. According toCNBC, this horrible fungus may eventually completely wipe out the variety of bananas that we eat today Banana lovers take note: The worlds supply of the fruit is under attack from a fungus strain that could wipe out the popular variety that Americans eat. Its a very serious situation, said Randy Ploetz, a professor of plant pathology at the University of Florida who in 1989 originally discovered a strain of Panama disease, called TR4, that may be growing into a serious threat to U.S. supplies of the fruit and Latin American producers. Theres nothing at this point that really keeps the fungus from spreading, he said in an interview with CNBC. While there are nearly 1,000 varieties of bananas, the most popular is the Cavendish, which accounts for 45 percent of the fruits global cropand the one Americans mostly find in their supermarkets. For decades, Americans have been able to go to the grocery stores and fill up their carts with massive amounts of very inexpensive food. But just because it has been that way for so many years does not mean that it will be that way in the future. Right now, there are 49 million Americans that are dealing with food insecurity, and that number will only get worse as food prices go even higher. It is getting to the point where it is not too hard to imagine desperate people holding up food trucks and robbing grocery stores in order to feed themselves and their families. Let us hope that we dont see anything like that any time soon, but we are moving in that direction. Just a few years ago, the notion that we could ever see armed guards on food trucks or in grocery stores in the United States was absolutely unthinkable. But now, it is not so crazy.

1	Responding to concerns about high injury rates on plays involving a football, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell introduced a possible rule change Friday that would eliminate balls from the game entirely. Footballs pose a significant safety hazard, and nothing is more important to the league than our players safety, said Goodell, who noted that footballs often hurtle through the air at more than 50 miles per hour before slamming violently into receivers and defenders. Under the new rules, the NFL would remain committed to preserving the parts of the sport that make it greatplayers would line up, run, block, and tackle as normal, but they would do so without the highly dangerous footballs we currently use. Goodell mentioned that the league is also considering a rule change that would reduce unsafe collisions by imposing a strict 3-mph on-field speed limit. 
1	In what Clinton Administration officials are calling 'a peoples mandate' for military action against Iraq, a Time/CNN poll released Monday found that 70 percent of Americans are in favor of watching U.S. air strikes against Iraq on TV. While an overwhelming percentage of Americans are 'very supportive' of televised prime-time bombings of Iraq, 91 percent 'strongly disapproved' of Thursday-night bombings, unless they were to take place during the half-hour between Seinfeld and ER. Additionally, 43 percent of those polled said the U.S. should bomb Iraq on PBSs NewsHour With Jim Lehrer 'only as a last resort.' Thirty-six percent said they would enjoy eating a nice, big meal while watching smart bombs fall on Iraqi targets, while 42 percent said they would prefer a light snack, ideally pretzels, and a beverage. Only 6 percent said they would prefer to watch the bombings with no food or drink at all. Said Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: 'Americans are clearly in support of President Clintons plan, so long as it is broadcast between 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. EST and features spectacular explosions.' 
1	According to local Christian Matthew Peete, a remarkable parallel exists between your current situation and events chronicled in The Bible. 'You know, when Job was being tormented by the Devil, he felt like giving up, the same as you,' Peete said. 'But Job had faith that God would deliver him, and He did. You need to have faith, because, just as God tested Job, the Lord is testing you with your wife's infidelity.' 
1	After reaching the 3,000-career-hits milestone last week, Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter told reporters Monday that he felt a great sense of relief that he could once again go back to not hitting the ball. Now that thats all over with, I can sit back, relax, let my average sink back down to just above .200, and watch everyone debate if I still belong in the starting lineup, Jeter said. I really dont feel any pressure to get on base for the rest of the season at all. Its nice. Jeter added that if he does happen to hit the ball, it will probably just be a weak groundout to the right side. 
1	Allowing the candidate to leave viewers with a final impression before the broadcast concluded, CNN moderator Jake Tapper reportedly gave Marco Rubio 90 seconds to deliver his campaigns closing statement at the end of Thursday nights Republican debate. We have reached the conclusion of our debate, and now, Senator Rubio, you will have 90 seconds to wrap up your campaign for president of the United States, said Tapper, advising the Florida senator to be concise and direct with his final words of the election cycle. This is your last chance to speak directly to the American people before exiting the national stage, so please utilize your time wisely. You may now begin. Tapper went on to assure John Kasich that he would have the same chance after Rubio was finished. 
3	Pakistans New Orwellian Cell Phone Policy: Register Fingerprints or Lose ServiceBy Josh Paniagua In what appears to be the hastiest gathering of biometric verification in history, millions of Pakistanis are forming massive lines outside of their mobile provider outlets waiting to register their fingerprints with their SIM card. Pakistani officials assert that it is just a measure to fight the ongoing terrorism they are facing from Islamist extremism which is persistent for many reasons in Pakistan. The initiative is particularly timely with recent memory of the attack carried out on a school by alleged Islamic militants that left 150 people dead. Ammar Jaffri, President of the Pakistan Information Security Association (PISA), has noted that cell phones are used to detonate bombs and extort people anonymously; and with the high number of unverified SIM cards (around 103 million at the beginning of the year), it makes suspect identification more difficult. So, essentially, the Pakistani government plans to fight terrorism and bring peace by ensuring every active SIM card in Pakistan has a verified identity behind it. As of their last report, about 53 million of the 103 million unverified SIM cards have been registered. Surely the Pakistani government cant honestly believe that this will work as if stolen cell phones, radios, and various ways to detonate a bomb werent a reality for the particularly motivated militant. It should also be considered that mobile service from Pakistan doesnt generally cover the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, which just so happens to be quite the popular haven for extremists. Residents in that area rely on Afghan networks for mobile service, making this motion not only impractical, but highly suspicious. In fact, Mr. Jaffri had this to say: Additionally, Jaffri believes that Pakistanis need to accept that when you buy a phone, the SIM card becomes part of you and privacy doesnt overrule government controlling the airwaves. All Pakistanis with mobile devices have until April 12th to register their fingerprints with their SIM card or lose mobile service; except, of course, for the militants at the border using Afghan service.

1	In what many record- industry insiders are calling a return to the band's mid-'80s prime, members of U2 announced Monday plans to stare in different directions. Guitarist The Edge said he will stand slightly behind lead singer Bono and stare off to his right, as if gazing purposefully into an uncertain, yet hopeful, future. Bassist Adam Clayton will stare downward, burdened by the weight of injustices all over the world. Drummer Larry Mullen Jr. will look up, as if searching for guidance from a higher power. Lead singer Bono has still not committed to a specific position, saying, 'That is a decision I can only make in the actual moment of artistic creation. But it'll be a different direction than the other three, you can count on that, brother!' The multi-directional staring is expected to take place atop a jagged, rocky peak. 
3	Russian Sanctions Expose Wests Global DisorderTony Cartalucci However, Bishop fails to indicate why Russia should or would accept responsibility for downing an aircraft when no evidence whatsoever even suggests such culpability. Canberra, Washington, London, and Brussels are citing dubious YouTube videos, Facebook, and other forms of social media, while Russia has provided radar and satellite pictures and has repeatedly called for and supported a proper, independent, impartial investigation into the incident. Since no such investigation has been concluded, Julie Bishop is not citing the conclusions of such a process, but merely repeating baseless accusations. These are the same variety of baseless, tenuous lies the West used to sell interventions in Iraq, Libya, and Syria that have devastated entire regions of the planet and left well over a million innocent human beings dead. This latest from Canberra is the continued leveraging and exploitation of human tragedy to advance a political agenda, notascertainthe truth or seek true justice. Australias latest comments represent the greater truth behind the Wests international agenda that it is global anarchy dressed upas global order the law of the jungle sporting the fig leaf of rule of law. Julie Bishop demands Russia take responsibility, but will she take responsibility for leveling baseless accusations against an entire nation? Defamatory accusations would be grounds for resignation at least in an administration guided by justice and truth. Each day now that Bishop retains her post is an indictment against the government of Australias utter lack of both.

2	Liberals Outraged Over AntiRecently, a London luxury apartment took a rather creative, albeit historically influenced, approach to keep the homeless from sleeping outside their buildings. They decided to deploy a series of inch-long spikes in their covered doorways, designed to make setting up camp impossible. Now, the action has sparked a debate on social media, and some liberals are outraged at the idea of treating the homeless like pigeons or vermin. On the other hand, some argue that the spikes may be justified. Twitter user Gavin Logan, for instance, claims that the spikes may be a last resort against someone who was aggressive and refused housing. After making the statement, Logan received serious criticism. He has since retracted his statement. The luxury apartments were not the first to use the spikes, and some argue that they are not designed for the homeless at all. The studs (outside a Tesco store) were put in place to try and stop people engaging in anti-social behavior like smoking or drinking outside our store, which can be intimidating for our customers, a Tesco spokesperson told reporters as a reference. What do you think? Are the spikes justified or are they wrong? 
2	Obama Hires Muslim Who Praised 9/11 Attacks And Puts Her U.S. Homeland Security Committee According to some shocking new reports, President Barack Obama has once again shown where his loyalties lie by placing a radical Muslim woman on a U.S. Homeland Security subcommittee. One of the new members of the Homeland Security Advisory Councils (HSAC) Subcommittee on Countering Violent Extremism is reportedly a 25-year-old Syrian immigrant who publicly praised the 9/11 attacks a positive good, and engaged in several racist attacks on white people on Twitter. The Daily Caller reports that Laila Alawa was hired by Barack Obama to join the DHS as part of an effort to prevent another 9/11. Thats an interesting choice considering that in September of 2014, Alawa commented that 9/11 changed the world for good and theres no other way to say it. I just hope we keep having open conversations about our differences. Alawa has also commented that she will never consider herself an actual American, even though she came to the U.S. as a 10-year-old girl. But I will always be Syrian, she commented. I will always be from Syria. I will always be of Syria. Just three years ago, she also said she cant stand anyone who believes that the U.S. is a great nation. I cant deal with people saying America is the best nation in the world, she tweeted. Be critical. Be conscious. Dont be idiots. She has also insulted white people by criticizing them for salty white tears when America was protesting bringing an undetermined number of Syrian refugees into the U.S. This doesnt exactly sound like a person I want in charge of my safety. What do you think? 
3	New Court Ruling Makes it Easier for Police to Track Your Cell PhoneHanni Fakhoury The case involved a 2010 law enforcement request to obtain 60 days of cell phone location records from two cell phone companies. The government wanted to identify which cell phone towers a particular phone number had connected to in order to place a suspect at the scene of a crime, and submitted a request under the Stored Communication Act (SCA) for access. The magistrate judge denied the request, understanding that records revealing your daily movements could show where you worship, what your medical conditions might be, and what political issues might interest you, not to mention who your friends and family are. It therefore rightfully ordered the government to apply for a search warrant supported by probable cause before accessing this sensitive data. Naturally unhappy with the magistrates conclusion, the government appealed first to the district court, which agreed with the magistrate, and then to the Fifth Circuit. Since there was no opposing party (the suspect wasnt informed of the surveillance and no criminal case was filed) we stepped in with the ACLU and other organizations, filing an amicus brief andparticipating at oral argument (WMA), urging the court to uphold the lower court opinions and rule a search warrant is needed in order to access cell tracking data since the data reveals extensive information about where a person goes and who they associate with. In a misguided 2-1 decision, the Fifth Circuit reversed the privacy-protective lower court opinions and instead ruled the government did not need a search warrant to access historical cell site records. Thats because the court focused not on what the data revealed a persons location over an extended period of time but rather on who owned and generated that data: the cell phone providers. In a compelling dissenting opinion, Judge Dennis noted that the constitutional issues were tricky ones and given the Supreme Courts reluctance to weigh in on the interplay between the Fourth Amendment and new technologies, the SCA should and could be interpreted to require a search warrant before police can access location data from a cell phone provider. Throughout the majority opinion is the misguided belief that a user understands and voluntarily chooses to reveal their location to the cell phone provider and ultimately the government through the users own free will. The court believed that your location is voluntarily turned over when the user makes a choice to get a phone, to select a particular service provider, and to make a call. But common sense and experience calls this premise into question. Just last week the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that police needed to get a warrant to track a person through their cell phone under under its state constitution. It noted a cell phone is an indispensable part of modern life and that people buy cell phones to communicate with others, to use the Internet but no one buys a cell phone to share detailed information about their whereabouts with the police. While a cell phone user may naturally understand that theyve given their location to the provider for a discrete and limited purpose to connect their phone call that is not the same as giving the government a detailed map of their movements. The New Jersey Supreme Court stated the obvious issue clearly: cell phones are not meant to serve as tracking devices to locate their owners wherever they may be. More generally the third party doctrine the idea you have no expectation of privacy in information turned over to third parties is dangerously eroding our Fourth Amendment protection at a time when cell phone companies and Internet service providers are stockpiling extensive personal information about all of us. Last year, Justice Sotomayor of the U.S. Supreme Court sounded the alarm in her concurring opinion in United States v. Jones writing the doctrine was ill suited to the digital age, in which people reveal a great deal of information about themselves to third parties in the course of carrying out mundane tasks. But courts have been reluctant to follow Justice Sotomayors cue in reexamining the doctrine. Its been up to state courts and legislatures to proactively protect peoples location privacy while federal courts are reluctant to act, relying on the third party doctrine to reject a search warrant requirement for the data. As more challenges to the constitutionality of cell site collection make their way through the federal courts, we hope judges will understand the only way to ensure our constitutional rights are protected is to find that the sensitive location information revealed by cell tracking deserves Fourth Amendment protection notwithstanding the fact the records are created and stored by cell phone providers. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	Ireland to Prosecute Top Banker Who Destroyed Their Economy Guess Where He Was HidingBy Claire Bernish David Drumm, former chief executive of Irish Anglo Bank from 2005 until 2008, had been arrested in Boston in October 2015, and originally attempted to fight extradition but he recently withdrew the objection and was returned to Ireland early on Monday. Drumm faces 33 charges in Ireland, which echoes Icelands unprecedented move to hold its bankers criminally accountable for their role in that countrys economic meltdown. Though Drumm predictably denied wrongdoing, his charges include fraud, forgery, misleading management reporting, unlawful lending, falsifying documents, and false accounting, linked to financial transactions prior to the collapse of Anglo, according to the Irish Times. RT News (@rtenews) March 14, 2016 Though prosecutors consider Drumm a flight risk after all, he seemed to be seeking safe haven inside the United States the court allowed the ex-banker to post bail under several conditions. Drumms passport is currently being held by the Garda (Garda Sochna, or Irish Police), and under the bail arrangement, he assured the court he would not apply for another and does not possess a U.S. passport. Seven of Drumms relatives offered to put their houses on the line as security for his bail, though the judge only required four names. As RT reported, Drumm is alleged to have participated in transactions totaling around 7 billion between Anglo and a second lending institution, Irish Life and Permanent. Anglo posted the worst corporate results in Irish history with losses of 17.5 billion for 2010. Drumm came to the United States in 2009, and reportedly refused to cooperate with an investigation. Prosecutors fear his capacity to marshal significant sums of money adds to the possibility Drumm could easily disappear. However, his solicitor argued that in order to better prepare his defense including sorting through the millions of documents and nearly 400 hours of phone conversations Drumm needed to remain out of prison. As the Times noted, two books of evidence will need to be heard by the court one of which entails bringing 120 witnesses to testify. The former banking executive has not yet entered a formal plea. He faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison if found guilty. Iceland, and now Ireland, have taken action to hold criminal bankers accountable for their direct role in the economic devastation which enveloped most of the world beginning in 2008 the exact opposite of what the US does. As of October, Icelands criminal bankers had been sentenced to a combined 74 years in prison with others awaiting trial. Then, the sale of one of its national banks meant a payout, albeit small, for every Icelandic citizen. The U.S. notoriously and controversially bailed out its banks essentially rewarding them, or at least, excusing them for the crisis they created. Drumm was ordered by the judge to remain in Ireland. Notably, according to RT, the Irish ex-banker has appealed a U.S. courts refusal to grant him bankruptcy on over 10 million of debt.

Your post is not showing here maybe it was too true to be permitted Its there now. Most of the criminal banksters are Tribe members and just hide in their criminal state of Israel which has no extradition of Tribe members permitted.

I wish there was, however, they will mow us down on the streets if need be. Thats how much they need to stay in control. I have NO DOUBT it will come to this.

2	City Fights Back After Public School Forces Non Islamic Students To Learn A Muslim Prayer According to recent reports, a public school in the Boston area of Massachusetts is attempting to stop Christian students from praying in school. Meanwhile, they are being asked to learn about the principles and core tenants of the religion of Islam. Now, its been revealed that they are also being forced to learn Islamic prayer. Seems a bit convoluted doesnt it? Shockingly, only a few parents from the school are speaking out. Others seem to be completely okay with the blatant of lack of justice and equality. Perhaps they dont realize that the Islamic prayer is actually a dedication to the religion? Now, its been revealed that Bostons Police Department has just promoted Haseeb Hosein to Captainmarking the first time a Muslim man has held the position. I want my guys to go into the schools and spend 30 minutes and read, Hosein has announced. In fact, one of his main priorities has been increasing the departments involvement in the public school system. What do you think? Is there a correlation between the two events? 
2	BLM Woman Who Demanded Trumps Assassination Gets Exactly What She Deserves According to reports, a woman name Kalen Rahim is facing some seriously backlash after tweeting: All you Worcester gangsters and what not. You clearly have a mission on Wednesday. Kill Donald Trump. A local blog, TurtleBoy Sports, posted an article about disrupting a scheduled Trump event in the area. The Donald was scheduled to speak to yet another standing-room only crowd, with another 3,000 outside who just couldnt fit, which prompted Rahims stupid assassination threat, and which ultimately got back to her employer, Explore Talent, who gave her the boot, firing her from her job, reports indicate. As if this werent idiotic enough, Rahim then went on to call the police to complain about being let go by her employer. When youve committed a federal crime, punishable by many years in prison, its probably not the smartest move to look to law enforcement for sympathy. Rahim had reportedly been involved in several Black Lives Matter protests in the past. What do you think of her tweet? Did she get what she deserved? 
1	Reluctant to transcend his station as a mere mortal and interfere with the vicissitudes of fortune, local lifeguard Blake Dunphy confided to reporters Tuesday that he found himself mentally shackled by the question of whether to save a swimmer currently thrashing for his life or allow destiny to take its course unfettered. Though this man sputters and flails before my eyes and the path to his salvation lies readily before me, the broader question remains: Who am I, a mere earthly being of flesh and blood, to determine whether my fellow man lives or dies? Dunphy mused, wondering if it was not, ultimately, the hand of fate that placed an inexperienced swimmer in the deep end in the first place. Surely a decision of such existential import rests solely on the shoulders of an all-knowing, all-seeing god, which I certainly cant in good conscience pretend to be. Furthermore, can it even be stated that Ior any being subject to divine decreeactually possess the free will to impel myself from this chair and rescue another, or are all such outcomes preordained by the stars themselves? At press time, Dunphy was saved from the burden of choice by a mid-afternoon shift change. 
3	Hillary Tells EU to Use MH17 Tragedy to Find Alternatives to Gazprom (dollar dumping gas giant)selfnews Post Moscow-based Gazprom is the largest producer of natural gas in the world and one of the globes largest companies. A few weeks back on June 26ththey announced that they would settle contracts with China using yuan or roubles instead of dollars. This move came about one month after Russia and China announced a record $400B gas deal. Thats a whole lot of dollars that wont be needed in the international economy. At the same time, many are now saying that the true reason for Israels brutal air-bombing and invasion of Gaza is to secure Palestinian gas reserves valued at $4B. In this context, it certainly looks like Western powers are making morally questionable moves to secure resources that are currently out of their control, a practice commonly known as expanding corporate empire by force. 
3	Hollande To Turkey, Russia - Stop Fighting And Do As Youre Told!By Brandon Turbeville Hollande stated that multiple, contradictory interventions carry the risk of a general inflammation. He added that Russia needs to be a player in negotiations, not a protagonist in the action and that it should join the alleged anti-ISIL coalition led by the U.S. Hollande has, of course, been fine with Turkey supporting ISIS and other Western-backed terrorists on its soil since the beginning of the Syrian crisis. Only when it comes to attacking Western-backed Kurds who are obviously being used to federalize Syria is Hollande willing to issue warnings to Turkey. The issue for Hollande is clearly not a violation of Syrian national sovereignty or international law, it is going beyond the marching orders given to Turkey by the NATO powers regarding a safe zone in Northern Syria that is the crime. As for Russia, (Hollandes misuse of the word protagonist notwithstanding), the message is simple stop fighting terrorism in Syria and do as youre told. Hollande is literally warning the Russians that they should stop their military operations and follow orders given by the U.S.-led coalition, the apparent arbiters of all that is just and legal in the world. While Hollande is likely to be taken as seriously by Erdogan as by Assad and every other national leader in the world, his statements nonetheless reveal a staggering level of bravado and arrogance for the President of a country teetering on the edge of obscurity and collapse. For its part, Turkey has refused to buckle to the public statements of the United States with Omer Celik stating that No one has the right to tell us which terrorist organization we can fight against. It is not likely that the addition of Hollande to the pile will make any further difference in the Turkish position. Despite the public disagreement, Turkey has sent every signal possible to announce that they intend to stick with the NATO line of destroying the secular government of Bashar al-Assad and replacing it with a government or governments beholden and favorable to Washington and the Anglo-American oligarchy. Obviously, a buffer zone and/or a no-fly zone, of course, is tantamount to war and an open military assault against the sovereign secular government of Syria because the implementation of such a zone would require airstrikes against Assads air defense systems. With the establishment of this buffer zone, a new staging ground will be opened that allows terrorists such as ISIS and others the ability to conduct attacks even deeper inside Syria. While one wishes for the best of all possible worlds the roll back of Western-backed terrorists and Kurdish fanaticism while, at the same time, seeing the Syrian government regain control over all of its territory we cannot wish away the facts. Amidst the tangled web of political and geopolitical interests at play in regards to this invasion, the fact is that neither the United States, the Kurdish militias, or the Turks have the best interest of Syria or the Syrian people at heart.

Given the amazing success of his domestic and foreign policies, Russia should listen to him? Hollande is bought and paid forThey have evidence on him as a Pedophile so he says whatever they tell him to say. heres a cynical reality. No matter what you do, or what you say.nothing will change with this ME dilemma. The game is being played for high stakes. Funny how none of the authors seem to discuss the benefit to Israel in all of these wars. Americans must be stupid.what percent of americans voting will vote for Hillary? Americans are just as guilty as the leaders perpetrating this horror on Syria because of their willingness to pay taxes for genocide and culture destruction in many parts of the world. Whats wrong with Americans? They cannot see how they are being fooled, or they just dont care? Which is it? I think both are the correct answer. The French are experts in creating a mess both at home and abroad, especially when it comes to international politics. French history is nothing more than a history of quarrels and revolutions. Napoleon I invaded Russia while Napoleon III invaded Crimea. I see that they are picking a new quarrel with Russia, when they should be doing their best to establish an economic and political relationship, especially with their current immigration and economic problems. French masses are unable to identify Charlie Hebdo, Paris Bataclan, Nice and Jaques Hamel murder as complete hoaxes and Hollandes justification for martial law. Liberty, fraternity, equality has become merde, merde, merde. Im sure Putin could offer far more relevant and succinct advice to this French dancing puppet. Hmmm.hes already been forced to stand the cost of the two cancelled Mistrale Helicopter Carriers subsequently dumped on Turkey. Then been made to expose his own people to False Flag Hebdo, Paris Nice fear-mongering terrorist exercises with mossad French Secret Service co-ordination. Anybody any ideas what else he can do to shoot himself in the foot. Bottom line is, these corrupt GANGS, nato, turkey, us and the Kurds, that are trying to sell themselves as legitimate governemnts, have become so twisted in their lies and corruption that are now fighting themselves. How can any respectful entity trust or believe anything these gangs say or do when they continually engage in lying, backstabbing, and double crossing each other and everyone else. This is where the whole planet needs to rise and rid themselves of these horrible violent parasites. 
2	ALERT: Army Vet Savagely Murdered, Obamas Response Is Disgraceful According to recent reports, and Army reservist was just found dead in a St. Louis alley. Family members claim he was going to look at a used car he saw on Craigslist when he was apparently shot. Robert Lovings Polk, 22, was found dead in an alley by workers from a nearby demolition company. The st. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that his remains were found behind a piece of drywall in a garage. It really did freak me out because we never knew when we removed that drywall that we would find a dead body there, worker Jerry Montaque told KTVI. It stunned me; I just had to get myself together and walk away for a minute. Polk was found lying face down, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt. It looks like he had been dragged there because there was a blood trail, Parker claimed. An autopsy is yet to reveal a time or confirm cause of death. What do you think? Is this absolutely tragic? Do our veterans deserve much more than this? 
1	The camping and concert grounds for Countryfest 2002, a week-long festival attended by more than 120,000 music fans, was mistaken for a refugee camp by passing Red Cross workers Tuesday. Refugees live in makeshift tents at Countryfest 2002. 'I was driving back from fire cleanup efforts in Colorado when the unmistakable stench of human offal hit me like a wall,' Red Cross volunteer Jim Montoya said. 'As we came over the hill, there it was: rows of crowded tents pitched on the mud, giant piles of rotting garbage, and security personnel roving the barbed-wire perimeter fence. I simply had to stop and intervene on behalf of the poor refugees in this overcrowded, impoverished settlement.' Using his Red Cross ID, Montoya was able to obtain a full-access Countryfest VIP wristband and move past the long lines of weary people in the paperwork-processing lines at the camp's front gates, their possessions piled in bags at their feet. 'This certainly is not the worst camp I've witnessed in my travels,' said Montoya, 44, who has participated in relief missions in Rwanda, Sudan, and India. 'But this being America, and given the fact that the camp has dubbed itself the 'Fun-In-The-Sun Country-Music Spectacular,' I would've expected them to have at least basic sanitation. Not so.' Despite the efforts of crews working around the clock, the festival's resources were severely stretched by Day Three. Event organizers installed 100 portable toilets on the grounds, but the number proved woefully inadequate. The makeshift toilets were not emptied as scheduled and leaky, overflowing units spilled human waste into ditches. Foot-pump handwashing units were emptied mere minutes after they were refilled, as campers carried the water in buckets back to their living quarters, where no fresh water was available. 'I pretty much know to avoid the bathrooms over on the stage end,' said festivalgoer Stacey Edwards as a mud-splattered, shirtless 2-year-old clung to her leg. 'If you're a guy and just have to pee, you're probably okay, but if you're a girl, you better pray you don't come into contact with anything while squatting over the hole.' Besides the lack of basic sanitation, Montoya found other refugee-camp staples at Countryfest, including severe food shortages, wildly inflated prices for basic goods, and a lack of health care, with sick or injured parties directed to drive into town. 'This is what happens when so many people are forced into such a small space,' Montoya said. 'Whatever the reasons, these individuals traded in their stable ranch-home existences for this. I simply could not turn a blind eye to this squalor, as the city government in Fairview apparently has.' Red Cross rescue worker Lauren Elson said the camp has some semblance of an organizational structure, with certain decisions made by individuals at the Shoney's-sponsored Countryfest Info-Tent. A crude communications system also exists, with edicts periodically broadcast live on 94.7 KTTS, Springfield's Hot Country Mix. Though a set of camp rules was posted near the Fat Jack's BBQ Ribs stand, lawlessness was still the norm. 'Impromptu settlements like this are always terribly disorganized because of how fast they grow,' Elson said. 'Just last month, this place wasn't even here. But word of mouth spreads, and more bodies than expected show up. In this case, rumors about a surprise visit by someone called 'Reba' fueled the fire.' While a language barrier prevented Elson from fully ascertaining the nature of the settlement, she determined that it was made up of displaced Americans, largely of European ethnic descent. 'I had a hard time understanding the refugees' almost indecipherable dialect, but I did glean some information,' Elson said. 'They call themselves 'country folk.' I should note that despite the downtrodden nature of their settlement, they are still very proud of their shared identity. They've traveled, in some cases hundreds of miles, to convene with their people here and celebrate their culture. The big draw, as I understand it, is the promised appearance of 33 of their tribe's most prominent music makers, including Travis Tritt, Kenny Chesney, and Martina McBride.' Elson said it is impossible for the average American to comprehend the 'utterly rudderless existence of these uprooted people.' 'Cross-state migrants and asylum seekers wander around listlessly in the heat of the full sun, trying desperately to attend to their most basic needs,' Elson said. 'People stand in line for hours for a small piece of roasted corn, while others desperately try to get any information they can about who is appearing on the Papa John's Bluegrass Side Stage that night.' Montoya said the crowds showed signs of thinning after Tuesday's appearance by Brooks & Dunn. Nevertheless, he said he will continue to help, vowing to get another 20,000 KDEB Fox-27 giveaway packages to the grounds by the end of the week. 'It seems to be letting up a little,' Montoya said, 'but there are still so many who need our help.' Bobbie Framm, a badly sunburned 19-year-old who journeyed to Countryfest from Joplin, MO, railed against the camp's inadequate provisions and unfair policies. 'The brochure said ice and firewood and all sorts of other stuff would be available, but everything is gone,' said Framm, who set up her tent in an overflow camping area behind a row of tattoo vendors. 'Then when we try to bring carry-ins into the concert, they bust us. We have rights, you know.' Other refugees complained about the oppressive tactics of the camp's armed guards. 'We had a big bonfire going, and at midnight, the cops came and made us put it out,' said Ryan Wilke, who traveled to the camp with his extended family, four generations of Wilkes squeezed into a 1991 Chevy S-10 pickup. 'On Friday night, my brother was climbing on that giant inflated Mid-Missouri Mortgage Co. cowboy hat, and they detained him in the security tent to sleep it off. What gives them the right?' In spite of the subhuman conditions, many refugees seemed not to notice, paying $6 for 16-ounce cups of Miller Lite at the KTTS party tent without raising an objection. 'People do what they have to do,' Montoya explained. 'If abject squalor is all around you, you adjust and that becomes normal. It's sad, but life must go on, even here at Countryfest.' For all the pain and suffering, Montoya noted that the camp was not without its good points. 'There's a beautiful sense of community here,' Montoya said. 'They sing and dance together. They sit around the fires at night and exchange stories of the trucks they have at home, or how much they drank the night before. It's a peculiar ritual, but it is clearly very much a vital, treasured part of their culture.' 
1	Explaining how their once-active discussion barely had the strength to continue on, sources confirmed Thursday that conversational lamprey Brian Kenney was slowly draining the life from acquaintance Josh Carringtons dinner party. According to sources, Kenney firmly latched himself onto each of the nights talking points and refused to let go until he sucked every ounce of energy from them, ultimately leaving each one too weakened and feeble to keep going. Despite their best efforts to shake off the conversational parasite and maintain a healthy discourse, guests confirmed that as soon as Kenney opened his mouth and dug into a topic, its vitality began quickly fading away, and it was only a matter of time before it wound up depleted and dead. After sapping the last bit of life from the dinner party, Kenney was reportedly seen trying to attach himself to a female guest in a desperate attempt to spawn. 
3	The Forced Depopulation of Americas Rural AreasBy Dave Hodges In Part One, I detailed how the Chinese government, under the direction of global corporations like Goldman Sachs, is instituting a mass relocation of its population from rural to urban. At the point of a gun, the Chinese military is forcibly removing one million Chinese farmers per month from their rural homes and forcing them into the massive ghost cities from which China has spent nearly $3 trillion to construct. The Chinese government, Hank Paulson and other globalists falsely claim that the mass relocation of Chinese farmers is necessary to fuel the Chinese economy. Yet, there are no jobs available to these Chinese farmers when they arrive in the ghost cities. Strong industry and the need to fill positions is what drew Americans into the cities during our industrial revolution, not the other way around as the globalists are claiming is the case in China. What we are witnessing in China is the beginning of the implementation of the Agenda 21 creation of massive megacities complete with stack-and-pack micro apartments. As in China, there is a decided plot to move American farmers off their land and into urban areas; this plot commenced nearly two decades ago and is currently picking up momentum. The American and Chinese methods for depopulating rural areas are different, but the net effect is exactly the same. Can you imagine if the US military, as is happening in China, were to forcibly relocate American farmers to urban areas under the threat of violence from the military? The US would witness the outbreak of widespread violence. Unlike the Chinese farmers who are being forced by gunpoint off their land. American farmers are being nudged off their land by market forces created by covert government policy. When both countries achieve virtual depopulation of the rural areas of their respective countries, only the government subsidized corporate farms will remain. Local communities and their individual citizens will lose total control over all food, which is a prescription for disaster. I will determine what and how much you may drink Mayor Bloomberg If you wonder why New York City Mayor Bloomberg and Michelle Obama have been trying to control the size of sodas, the amount of salt one can use and are dictating what school children will eat for lunch, the answer is that they are conditioning the American public that the government controls all food intake. The reasons for these new controls over diet will become painfully clear after reading the following paragraphs. I know that this will come as a shock to many reading this article because they did not learn of these events from FOX or CNN. However, in actuality, the process of moving the United States towards a complete Agenda 21-style of total urbanization has already commenced, and it began nearly 20 years ago. In 1994, the US became official participants in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which was a liberalized trade agreement between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. Under NAFTA, farmers income in all three countries has plummeted and millions of small farmers have lost their land, while agribusiness corporations (i.e. large government subsidized corporate farms) have reaped huge profits. NAFTA has had threedramatic effects on farmers in North America and all three effects further cause dense urbanization as outlined in Agenda 21 documents. The first notable effect of NAFTA is that it immediately bankrupted over three million farmers in northern Mexico and this group became the vanguard of millions of Mexicans illegally entering the US in search for subsistence work of any type. The second dramatic impact of NAFTA lies in the fact that it has had catastrophic consequences for US farmers, as a record number of small farmers have lost their farms and have gone through foreclosure while the government subsidized corporate farms have thrived. Since NAFTA, the average annual growth of the US trade deficit has been 45% higher. Since NAFTA took effect, about 170,000 small family farms have gone bankrupt which represents a decline of 21% of family farms in the US. The 21% of America small farmers who have been bankrupted since the advent of NAFTA, represents a higher percentage of displaced American farmers than what is happening with forced relocation of Chinese farmers to the ghost cities. And what happens to American small farmers who have lost their livelihood? They either work on their former competitors corporate farms as hired hands, or they relocate to urban areas in search of employment. If it is not the EPA enforcing its Agenda 21 wetlands regulations with devastating consequences on farmers, it is the FDA harassing farmers for pursuing time-honored farm-related industries such as the raw milk industry. Congress is plotting new attacks on the US farmer as I write these words. Even Amish farmers have felt the wrath of the federal government. Average, everyday Americans are being arrested for merely growing their own food. Whether it is China or the US, Agenda 21 urbanization policies are designed for the purpose of herding people into dense urban areas for reasons of control; and the primary method of control has to do with controlling food production. The Chinese government is working to control all food in order to control the people. On an ever-increasing basis, NAFTA is providing the US government with the exact same ability. Therefore, the third draconian impact of NAFTA is that it has led to even more nefarious free trade agreements which has led to the loss of control for local communities over their own food supply. Underlying the World Trade Organization, the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), and the Central American Free Trade Agreement, is the philosophy that all food (i.e. from basic grains, meat, fruits and vegetables) should be exclusively produced for international export. This is a drastic departure from the time-honored practice where each country produced the majority of food its citizens needed on local, small farms and only traded in certain products that could not be successfully grown locally. If anyone wonders where this is headed, we only have to look to Africa for the answer. The very first great wave of a NAFTA style of globalization in agriculture took place in Africa, Asia, and Latin America as global corporations forced local farmers to give up local food production, and shifted production to plantations using enslaved Indigenous and African labor to grow the luxury crops of coffee, sugar, bananas, and cocoa for export to the colonizing countries. The lesson here is, if the government controls the food, the government controls the people. The use of food by the U.S. government has been a matter of official U.S. governmental covert policy since 1974-1975. In December, 1974, National Security Council directed by Henry Kissinger completed a classified study entitled, National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests. The study was based upon the unproven claims that population growth in Lesser Developed Countries (LDC) constituted a serious risk to Americas national security. In November 1975 President Ford, based upon the tenets of NSSM 200 outlined a classified plan to forcibly reduce population growth in LDC countries through birth control, war and famine. Fords new national security adviser, Brent Scowcroft, in conjunction with CIA Director, George H. W. Bush, were tasked with implementing the plan and the secretaries of state, treasury, defense, and agriculture assisted in the implementation of these insane genocidal plans. NSSM 200 formally raised the question, Would food be considered an instrument of national power? Is the U.S. prepared to accept food rationing to help people who cant/wont control their population growth? Kissinger has answered these questions when he stated that he was predicting a series of contrived famines, created by mandatory programs and this would make exclusive reliance on birth control programs unnecessary in this modern day application of eugenics in a scheme that would allow Henry to have his cake and eat it too in that the world would finally be rid of the useless eaters! Third world population control, using food as one of the primary weapons, has long been a matter of official covert national policy and a portion of President Obamas Executive Order (EO 13603), National Defense Resources Preparedness is a continuation of that policy. Only now, the intended target are not the LDCs but, instead, the American people. With the stroke of his pen, Obama has total and absolute control over all food where his EO states: e) Food resources means all commodities and products, (simple, mixed, or compound), or complements to such commodities or products, that are capable of being ingested by either human beings or animals, irrespective of other uses to which such commodities or products may be put, at all stages of processing from the raw commodity to the products thereof in vendible form for human or animal consumption. Food resources also means potable water packaged in commercially marketable containers, all starches, sugars, vegetable and animal or marine fats and oils, seed, cotton, hemp, and flax fiber, but does not mean any such material after it loses its identity as an agricultural commodity or agricultural product. (f) Food resource facilities means plants, machinery, vehicles (including on farm), and other facilities required for the production, processing, distribution, and storage (including cold storage) of food resources, and for the domestic distribution of farm equipment and fertilizer NAFTA was merely the opening artillery bombardment against the American farmer and the ultimate depopulation of rural areas. The death of the American farmer will ultimately come at the hands of EO 13603 and I believe this will be fully implemented when Obama declares martial law. Do you think that you and your family are actually safe from the ravages of depopulating the rural areas through economic blackmail and ultimate starvation? Think again! Unless you presently live in the core inner city and occupy less than 500 square feet of living space, your government, as I write these words, is actively plotting to get you out of the suburbs and into densely populated urban areas. This will be fully exposed in Part three of this series. Part One This article is total lies. We purchased a small farm in 1961. The cost of machinarc and small farming has pushed most farmers out. The value of land for residential housing also caused many to sell farms that were unprofitable to developers. This is a crock of lies. As far as raw milk it should NEVER be sold to the public because of diseases.

'You know, the SAT is a flawed, inexact measure of one's abilities,' a grim-faced Cross told Stember. 'It measures what you know rather than what you're capable of doing.' Cross added that there are many essential real-life skills the SAT fails to gauge, like punching in on time and maintaining a clean uniform. 
3	Al-Qaeda Directs Free Syrian Army in Controlled Demolition of SyriaSusanne Posel, Contributor Al-Qaeda, the CIA-funded bogeyman, has been aiding and encouraging the Free Syrian Army (FSA); even insofar as recruiting more members to fuel the political transition of Assad out of power in his own country. The FSA are not just tied to al-Qaeda, the fake Islamic terrorist group, they ARE al-Qaeda. In a videoof members of the FSA, these men are brandishing AK-47s provided to them by the CIA and have al-Qaeda flags flying in the background. Members of FSA openly admit they are fighting for al-Qaeda. Abu Khuder, militant in the FSA explains: We have clear instructions from our [al-Qaeda] leadership that if the FSA need our help we should give it. We help them with IEDs and car bombs. Our main talent is in the bombing operations. Abu Thuha (a pseudonym) is an al-Qaeda operative who claimsthat we have experience now fighting the Americans, and more experience now with the Syrian revolution. Our big hope is to form a Syrian-Iraqi Islamic state for all Muslims, and then announce our war against Iran and Israel, and free Palestine. Al-Qaedas role in FSA is to provide more than leadership, but become psychologically entangled in these young minds so that their mission is not deterred at any cost. The use of religion and discipline are tactics that keep the men in line and ready to kill or be killed for the cause of the US government. Khuder says: al-Qaedasgoal is establishing an Islamic state and not a Syrian state. Those who fear the organization fear the implementation of Allahs jurisdiction. If you dont commit sins there is nothing to fear. While the ground troops are being coerced by al-Qaeda, NATO is becoming a more active presence in the convoluted mess of freedom fighters that seem to only have global Elite schemes in mind. The Obama administration is focusing on increasing aidto the Free Syrian Army and other oppositional factions to facilitate a forced regime change in Syria. Andrew Tabler, a Syria expert at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, admits that the US government [is] looking at the controlled demolition [of the Syrian government]. But like any controlled demolition, anything can go wrong. The Pentagon have been plotting and overseeing terrorist activitiesin Syria as the campaign for regime change marches on. Along with NATO and French Special Forces, the US government has been placing strategic measures to make sure terrorism is carried out in Syria. The globalists at the RAND Corporationadmit that al-Qaeda has conducted roughly two dozen attacks, primarily against Syrian security service targets. Virtually all have been suicide attacks and car bombings, and they have resulted in more than 200 deaths and 1,000 injuries. More propaganda surrounding the framing of Syria surfaced in Austrias Kronen Zeitung wherein a Photoshopped pictureof a supposed war torn Aleppo masked a man walking with his child in his arms. The picture was enhancedbecause the Syrian family in the photo merely fleeing a city ravaged by guns and mortars apparently isnt quite dramatic enough on its own. Meanwhile, the Turkish army is conducting staged tank exercises at the Syrian border where military is deployed. While the mainstream mediaclaim that none of the Turkish military forces will be added to the FSA and oppositional terrorists in Syria, more than 25 tanks were involved in practicing for war. Turkey, who is a NATO member, has been setting up areas for training camps for the CIA to create more members of FSA, provide intelligence and military weaponry before sending them over the border to assist in the regime change. Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish Prime Minister, has been working withthe US government in attempting to hand over Assad. The global Elite have decided that the US State Department and the Syrian National Council will control Syria. As of now, they are involved in a strategic divide-and-conquer mission. In the future, as Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State, has stated, the geopolitical objective is to turn fake humanitarian efforts by the UNs Kofi Annan while establishing international mandate that will end in the globalist control over this region. The false flag assertion of Syrian chemical weapons is giving the general public the necessary fuel to support the US/Israeli military attack of Syria. It is being kept secret from the general public with the assistance of the MSM that the murder of Syrian civilians is being committed by the FSA under the direction of the CIA; the scriptbeing played out to keep Assads armies under foot with little chance of turning defeat into victory.

1	Welcome news for America's much-maligned educational system arrived Monday, when a Department of Education study revealed that U.S. students rank first in the world in the field of TV jingle recall. 'This is tremendous,' U.S. Secretary of Education Richard Riley said. 'It finally proves that the youth of America can compete. Thanks to their hard work and years of dedicated television-watching, our children will have the edge in the highly competitive TV-jingle-based economy of the 21st century.' According to results of the five-year study, American students are twice as likely as students from such television-conscious countries as Germany and Japan to recall the melodies of TV jingles. On average, American students have four times as many jingles committed to memory as their foreign counterparts, and are, the study found, 10 times more likely to correctly identify the words, 'My kitty cat craves roast beef' as the first line of the second verse of the popular 1987-92 ad jingle for Crave-brand cat food. American students' TV-jingle retention is so high, in fact, that 89 percent of those tested were able to recall ad jingles that aired for only for a brief timeeven, in some cases, years before they were born. 'One 14-year-old correctly recalled the words, 'Kiss: That's the name / Kiss: They got the look of fame' from an ad for a line of Kiss action figures, despite the fact that the ad aired only between 1977 and 1980, several years before his birth,' Riley said. 'Such mastery is beyond anything we could have ever hoped.' With world television-viewing levels at an all-time high, jingle-recall ability will prove crucial in the economy of the next century. A third-grade class in Lexington, KY, prepares for the 1997 Jingle Aptitude Test. 'It doesn't look good for competing nations,' National Media Institute director Mitchell Forrester said. 'In the field of TV jingle recall, which is certain to be of vital importance in the emergent global info-age, America is clearly the world leader.' President Clinton was pleased to learn of the report. 'America's teachers can be very proud,' he said, 'knowing that their students have outdistanced all others in the memorization of such words as, 'Zestfully clean / Zestfully clean / You're not fully clean unless you're Zestfully clean.' Our educators can take great pride in the knowledge that every American child knows something that students from Asia and Europe do not: that their bologna has a first name, and how the name of that bologna is spelled.' American students scored particularly well on jingles connected to television shows. A whopping 98 percent of those tested, for example, were aware that crimefighting cartoon rock star Jem is truly outrageous, and 78 percent knew that the Jem figures are each sold separately. Even more impressive was U.S. students' awareness of products they do not even use yet. Ninety percent of American seven-year-olds, for example, knew that Gilette is the best a man can get, and that the Anheuser-Busch corporation is proud to be your Bud. News of the study has prompted some Japanese schools to add intensive TV-jingle drills to their curriculum. A majority of foreign countries, however, plan to continue to focus on fields in which they already excel, such as math and science, rather than attempt to challenge America's clear dominance of the TV jingle-recall field. 'Each nation has academic areas in which it excels, be it math, foreign language or history,' Riley said. 'When it comes to ad recognition and recall, the U.S. truly is 'the real thing.'' 
2	Hillary Supporting Thug Burns Flag, And Then Attacks Veteran [watch] Its ironic that anti-Trump supporters have targeted the Republican nominee for supposedly inciting hatred in this country, when their actions have become increasingly violent and destructive. There have been numerous flag burnings over the past few months. Fortunately, some of these tyrants are actually seeing justice. Take this Obama-supporter, for instance. Footage caught him trying to set the flag on fire, but things didnt end too well for him. Just seconds later, he was apprehended by police. What do you think? Do you applaud these officers for taking a firm approach to these criminals? 
3	UN Human Rights Council DuplicityStephen Lendman On May 5, Reuters headlined UN has testimony that Syrian rebels used sarin gas: investigator. Geneva-based UN human rights investigators have gathered testimony from casualties of Syrias civil war and medical staff indicating that rebel forces have used the nerve agent sarin, one of the lead investigators said on Sunday. The United Nations independent commission of inquiry on Syria has not yet seen evidence of government forces having used chemical weapons. On May 6, the UN News Centre headlined Syria: UN human rights Inquiry has no conclusive findings on use of chemical weapons. The International Commission of Inquiry on Syria (COI) issued a statement saying: It wishes to clarify that it has not reached conclusive findings as to the use of chemical weapons in Syria by any parties to the conflict. As a result, the Commission is not in a position to further comment on the allegations at this time. The Chair of the Commission of Inquiry, Paulo Sergio Pinheiro, reminds all parties to the conflict that the use of chemical weapons is prohibited in all circumstances under customary international humanitarian law. In line with its mandate, the Commission is currently investigating all allegations of violations of international law in the Syrian Arab Republic and will issue its findings to the Human Rights Council (HRC) on 3 June 2013, as mandated by resolution 22/24. Western pressure forced the retraction. COIs had no credibility since inception. Neither does HRC. More on that below. On August 22, 2011, HRC resolution S-17/1 established the COI. Its mandated to investigate all alleged human rights violations in Syria since March 2011. The Commission was also tasked to establish the facts and circumstances that may amount to such violations and of the crimes perpetrated and, where possible, to identify those responsible with a view of ensuring that perpetrators of violations, including those that may constitute crimes against humanity, are held accountable. On September 28, 2012, the Human Rights Council (HRC) adopted six resolutions in which it extended the COI. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay is the organizations chief human rights official. She works closely with the Human Rights Council. She long ago fell from grace. Shes an imperial tool. She suppresses truth. She ignores Western and Israeli human rights abuses. Shes in lockstep with Washingtons war on Syria. So is Paulo Sergio Pinheiro. More on him below. Pillays a former South African High Court judge. She also served on the International Tribunal for Rwanda (ICRT). From 1999 2003, she served as president. ICRT lacked credibility. It served imperial interests. It pointed fingers the wrong way. Guilty parties were absolved. Victims were prosecuted. While president, Pillay bore full responsibility. She serves Washingtons imperial agenda. She did so on the International Criminal Court. She served from 2003 2008. ICC targets victims Washington and other Western powers want charged with crimes of war, against humanity and genocide. Responsible major powers are absolved. Victims are guilty by accusation. Pillay went along. She advanced her career by doing so. Shes doing it again now. Shes waging war on Syria. She targets victims. Guilty parties are absolved. She wrongfully blames Assad for massive scale killing. Doing so turns truth on its head. Earlier she asked Where is the international community? Why arent (world leaders) acting to stop this slaughter. She favors intervention to do so. Shes complicit with Washingtons longstanding plan to ravage and destroy another country. So is Pinheiro. In September 2011, he was appointed COI chairman. His reports lack credibility. They suppress truth. They show contempt for justice. They bear testimony to his pro-Western bias. He repeatedly blames Assad for insurgent crimes. His mandate is facilitating Washingtons longstanding plan to oust him. On May 6, the Washington Post headlined US skeptical on reported use of chemical weapons by Syrian rebels, saying: They had seen no evidence to confirm the reports. The Obama administration has said it believes the Syrian government likely used the nerve agent sarin in recent months and has supported a UN investigation into the use of chemical agents in Syria, where the government of President Bashar al-Assad has alleged the illicit weapons were used by the opposition. During his May 6 press briefing, White House press secretary Jay Carney said: We are highly skeptical of suggestions that the opposition could have or did use chemical weapons. We find it highly likely that any chemical weapon use that has taken place in Syria was done by the Assad regime. And that remains our position. The fact of the matter is the terrible situation in Syria is the fault and responsibility of Bashar al-Assad. He has murdered tens of thousands of his own people. He has acted with impunity like a tyrant to hold on to power. And it is the rightful demand of the Syrian people that they be rid of this tyrant and that they have a say in their future. And we have worked with international partners as well as the Syrian opposition to help bring about that opportunity for the Syrian people. Asked about Israels weekend bombings, he said: Im not going to comment on any actions the Israelis may have taken. What I can tell you is that we are in close coordination as a matter of course with the Israelis, and continue to be. But Im not going to comment specifically on actions that the Israelis may or may not have taken. I would certainly refer those questions to the Israeli government. Asked what the administration plans to do next, he added: Well, you heard the President address this several times last week. It is essential that we continue to gather evidence, that we work with our partners as well as the opposition in the accumulation of evidence about the use of chemical weapons. But we are not waiting for United Nations action alone. We are working through other means to try to build on the evidence that we already have of chemical weapons use, to assert in a concrete and firm way the chain of custody, when chemical weapons were used, by whom, and the full consequences of that use. It is by definition a game-changer (if) chemical weapons (were) used. (T)he president made clear (its) a red line.(If) crossed (he said) he would take appropriate action. On May 6, Fairness Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) said: US suggestions that the Syrian government could have used chemical weapons have been treated as fact by some media outlets, and are helping to fuel the case for greater US military involvement. Those outlets include US broadcast and cable channels, as well as major publications. Former New York Times executive editor Bill Keller warned: Whatever we decide, getting Syria right starts with getting over Iraq. In other words, he claims, Syria wont become a similar catastrophe. Its well along toward one now. Keller promoted war on Iraq. He supported it once begun. Hes urging Obama to wage war on Syria. He and other Times editors back Washingtons imperial agenda. Rule of law principles and unconscionable carnage dont matter. FAIR commented on the mindset of many so-called pundits. (O)nce again (theyre) rallying in support of US military action based on sketchy reports about weapons of mass destruction. On May 6, Wall Street Journal editors marched in lockstep. They headlined The Non-Intervention War. The US failure to lead on Syria has resulted in a wider regional conflict. It threatens to damage US interests from the Levant to the Persian Gulf and perhaps even reach the homeland. Journal editors urge forceful US intervention. They favor imposing a no-fly zone and air strikes against Assads forces. They dont rule out the use of American and other ground troops to secure the chemical weapons. Invading Syria means replicating Washingtons war on Iraq. (T)he most important strategic goal continues to be to defeat Iran, Journal editors stress. On the one hand, they blame Obama for creating a wider regional conflict. At the same time, they urge one. On May 6, Mossad-connected DEBKAfile (DF) headlined IDF on war alert. Iran-Syrian-Hizballah war of attrition threatened. US set to act on Syria. Israels weekend airstrikes appear to be part of a tactical plan put together by the US, Israel, and two Sunni powers, Turkey and Qatar, to break up the Tehran-Damascus-Beirut radical bloc and eventually force Iran to give up its nuclear bomb aspirations. Washington is meanwhile expected to follow up on the Israeli operation in Syria by the end of May, early June, with operations ranging from US arms supplies to the Syrian rebels to demolishing Syrias air force facilities and missile sites by US air strikes from Turkey, Europe and Israel. Barak Obama used this tactic to overthrow Muammar Qaddafi in Libya two years ago. Since the Syrian rebels are being systematically ground down and falling apart under the crushing weight of the Syrian army backed by Iranian and Hizballah troops and Moscow, feeding the rebels more weapons may no longer avail. So this would be the less probable of the two options. On Sunday, Israel initiated its highest level of war alert. Wholl make the next move, asked DF. Michel Chossudovsky discussed The Syria Chemical Weapons Saga, saying: (T)he Pentagon not only provided chemical weapons to Al Nusra, an affiliated Al Qaeda terrorist organization, but also provided training to the rebels in the use of these weapons. And once these Al Qaeda rebels had been supplied and trained in the use of WMDs by military contractors hired by the Pentagon, the Syrian government would then be held responsible for using the WMDs against the Syrian people. This in turn would provide a justification for a humanitarian R2P intervention to protect and come to the rescue of the Syrian people. Believe it or not: that is the justification for waging a humanitarian war on Syria. What goes around, comes around. History repeats. Washington wants Assad ousted. Replacing him with subservient pro-Western puppet leadership is longstanding policy. It bears repeating. Syrias being systematically ravaged and destroyed. It appears just a matter of time before full-scale US-led intervention. Libya 2.0 looms.

3	Monsantos Congressional Cartel: List of Senators Who Betrayed Constituents in Favor of Biotech DollarsDaisy Luther Once upon a time, a system was designed in which the people elected delegates to go to Washington DC. These members of Congress had the specific duty of representing the wishes of their constituencies when laws were being voted upon. The success of last weekends March Against Monsanto should have made it very clear that a great many people wish to see, at the very least, labels on toxic GMO foods. The fact that this success was covered up by the media does NOT mean that the members of Congress were unaware of it just the opposite. Our success was frightening, and that is why it was covered up. Despite that, the day before the event, an amendment to the farm bill that would have allowed the individual states to pass laws protecting consumers from unlabeled GMOs was quietly shot down in the Senate with a vote of 71-27 against this right. The timing of this betrayal, right before a long weekend, goes along with the general modus operandi of sliding through things that will meet with objections from the public when they are otherwise distracted. The failure to pass this amendment was due in part to Monsanto mouthpiece Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), the chair of the Agriculture Committee. Stabenow, incidentally, received over three quarters of a million dollars from agribusiness interests ($739,926 to be exact) in agribusiness donations. Stabenow utilized the propaganda that is being dispersed by the likes of Monsanto and the Gates Foundation to argue her point: This puts Stabenow right up there on the list with Senator Roy Blunt (R- Mo), the inextricably-linked congressman from Monsantos home state of Missouri who slipped the rider in for the Monsanto Protection Act last March. But Stabenow and Blunt are not the only enemies. Monsanto is the number one donor in the agricultural lobby, having spent nearly 6 million dollars in 2012, ($5,970,000) as well as more than$925,000 directly to political candidates. ($541,854 as Monsanto, $384,890 as Scotts Miracle Gro, which is an agent for Monsantos Round-up). Any politician who took money from them and then voted in favor of them is equally guilty of betraying their offices and the trust placed in them by voters. There is simply no excuse for voting against the individual states rights to allow consumers to make informed choices about the food they purchase. The sponsor of the failed bill, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, said: The saying goes, The friend of my enemy is also my enemy. By this rationale, those who are in the back pocket of Monsanto are the enemies of those of us who demand proper oversight of the evil corporation through the checks and balances that are SUPPOSED to be in place to protect consumers. Therefore, it is patently clear that those in Congress who vote in favor of Monsanto are the enemy. Lets out the politicians who voted against the amendment last Friday that would have allowed the states to choose whether or not GMOs should be labeled. As long as these politicians are in office, GMOs will NOT be labeled at a national level, because these politicians will not allow legislation to pass that might harm the bottom line of their puppet-master, Monsanto. Real Farmacy put together a list of the US Senators who voted AGAINST our right to know what we are eating: Despite the vast campaign donations the politicians receive from special interest groups, the recent grassroots movements like Occupy Monsanto and March Against Monsanto have proven that activism works without the huge budget. Even though Monsanto has a kennel full of obedient pet congress members, we can defeat the biotech enemy by spreading information. Teaching the public about the dangers of consuming GMOs, the environmental and health tolls of Monsantos farming methods, and the unscrupulous business practices that are designed to put small farmers around the globe out of business, is our most powerful weapon. This is a call to action. Use the list above to make it clear that we will not stand idly by while our elected representatives betray us for the benefit of Monsanto.

1	U.S. Rep. Vinnie Abruzzo (I-NY), the greasy-haired, leather-jacketed legislator who joined Congress in January 1999, is fast earning a reputation as a man who makes up his own rules. 'Just yesterday, Vinnie introduced H.R. 4673, which would amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide for the establishment of medical security accounts for individuals who are 40 or older,' said Rep. Howard Coble (R-NC). 'When he did that, we were all like, 'Whoa, this guy's got his own set of laws he's making up here.' If we don't like it, I guess we could vote 'Nay,' but I don't know if that'd be such a good idea.' 
1	With shuttered windows, empty parking lots, and clearance sale banners dotting nearly every block, the community of Fort Myers, Florida has in recent years become a veritable wasteland of professional athletes failed side businesses, sources confirmed Thursday. Residents told reporters that defunct enterprises, ranging from a closed seafood restaurant owned by retired Miami Dolphins quarterback Jay Fiedler to a padlocked batting cage complex once operated by former Cincinnati Reds outfielder Eric Davis, have come to dominate the citys commercial district. Nowadays, you cant walk down the street without seeing a boarded-up nightclub, laundromat, or oil change place that doesnt represent some athletes doomed investment, said local man Charlie Stinson, 42, listing off an array of unsuccessful establishments that included a hair salon owned by professional tennis star Monica Seles and a southern BBQ restaurant founded by Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Fame fullback Franco Harris. On this block alone, there are three different bars, all of them closed, and all of them started by members of the Showtime Lakers. Youd think that James Worthy would have decided to invest his money elsewhere after seeing what happened to Mychals and The Rambis Hole, but you get the feeling that these guys didnt really think any of this through, Stinson added. Residents confirmed that the city of 62,000 has in recent years seen the opening and rapid closing of dozens of athlete-run ventures, including coffee shops, sushi bars, and go-kart tracks, nearly all of which have been mismanaged or neglected by a variety of current and retired sports figures. Specifically, sources pointed to such insolvent establishments as The Punchline, a comedy club bankrolled by former world heavyweight champion Riddick Bowe; a real estate office launched by Olympic swimmer Mark Spitz; and three-time Pro Bowler Tiki Barbers tropical-themed watering hole, The Tiki Lounge. Officials from the chamber of commerce confirmed that none of the operations remained in business for longer than six months, and all have left behind unoccupied strip mall units throughout the greater Fort Myers area. A community this size cant possibly support two mens clothing boutiques opened by both Shannon Sharpe and Sterling Sharpe, resident Eric McGill said. And poor Dusty Baker, he spent so much on TV commercials and print flyers, but you knew that his pool supply dealership would never get off the ground around here. Though lamenting the demise of these and other enterprises, observers said that they were not particularly surprised to see these ventures fail, noting athletes tendency to quickly lose interest in their fledgling projects and leave responsibility for the commercial undertakings in the hands of various relatives and associates with no business experience. I used to get pretty excited when I saw someone like Jimmy Connors or Pedro Martinez showing up for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at a new steakhouse or car wash, but they always jet out of town and their businesses never stay afloat for very long, said Fort Myers native Sherri Walsh, who pointed out the poor service and mediocre food at the numerous defunct crab shacks erected by members of the 1993 Chicago Cubs. Now, there are too many vacant storefronts to even keep track of. Prime Time Security. Yoga by Yaz. Sir Charles Gentlemans Club. All of them gone. And I could have sworn the city shut down Lenny Dykstras off-track betting parlor, but I still see him hanging around the back entrance all the time, so maybe its still up and running, Walsh continued. According to sources, the array of failed athletes businesses stands in stark contrast to the overwhelming success of former San Francisco Giants first baseman J.T. Snows software company, Snow-Tek, which is estimated to be worth nearly $85 billion. 
3	Prepare For Tough Times If Your Job Has Anything To Do With Real Estate Or MortgagesMichael Snyder Unfortunately, this is only the beginning. Mortgage rates closely mirror the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries; the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries has nearly doubled since early May. But it is still only sitting at about 3 percent right now. As I have written about previously, it has a ton of room to go up before it hits normal historical levels, and so do mortgage rates. As I noted the other day, some analysts believe that the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries is going to hit 7 percent eventually. If that happens, mortgage rates will be more than double what they are today. And we have already seen the average rate on a 30-year fixed rate mortgage go from 3.35 percent in May to 4.57 percent last week. If interest rates continue to rise we could be heading for a housing Armageddon that will make the last housing crash look like a Sunday picnic. The mini-housing bubble that we have been enjoying for the last couple of years is coming to an abrupt end. It doesnt matter what the mainstream media is telling you about a sustainable housing recovery. Just look at how the big mortgage lenders are behaving. They know the gig is up. According toBloomberg, Bank of America has just announced that they will be eliminating 2,100 mortgage-related jobs Bank of America Corp., the second-largest U.S. lender, will eliminate about 2,100 jobs and shutter 16 mortgage offices as rising interest rates weaken loan demand, said two people with direct knowledge of the plans. And Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase are also both eliminating thousands of mortgage-related jobs Mortgage lenders are paring staff as higher interest rates discourage refinancing and cast doubt on how long the housing market rebound will last. Wells Fargo Co., the biggest U.S. home lender, plans more than 2,300 job cuts, and JPMorgan Chase Co. may dismiss 15,000. Would they be doing this if they thought that brighter days were ahead? Of course not. In fact, Well Fargo just announced that it expects to make 30 percent fewer home loans this quarter because of rapidly rising interest rates. Its over folks. The mini-housing bubble that the mainstream media has been hyping so much is over. If your job has anything to do with real estate or mortgages, it is time to start thinking about a career change. This is especially true if your job is related to refinancing mortgages. All of the smart people have already refinanced. As rates continue to rise rapidly, the only ones that will be refinancing are really stupid people. According toZero Hedge, mortgage refinance activity has already dropped by a whopping 70 percent since early May. For the 16th of the last 18 weeks, mortgage refinance activity plunged (dropping 20% this week alone). Since early May, when the dreaded word Taper was first uttered, refis have collapsed over 70%. With mortgage servicers and providers large and small laying people off, it seems hard for even the most egregiously biased bull to still suggest that the housing recovery is sustainable. And this rise in interest rates is just getting started. The Federal Reserve has not even begun to taper yet. Once that starts happening, the consequences could bequite dramatic In early 1994, when the U.S. recovery gained strength, the Fed started a tightening cycle and bond markets crashed not only in the U.S. but also around the world, European Central Bank Executive Board member Joerg Asmussen said on Tuesday. If spillovers were large in 1994, we can expect them to be even larger today in an even more deeply interconnected world, he added in the text of a speech for delivery in Brussels. Of course when the Federal Reserve tapers their quantitative easing it wont really be tightening as much as it will be slowing down the pace at which they are recklessly creating tens of billions of dollars out of thin air. But the effect will be similar to what we saw back in 1994. As interest rates rise, it will become much more expensive to buy a home and much more difficult to sell a home. To give you an idea of how dramatically interest rates can affect housing affordability, I wanted to share some numbers from one of my previous articles A year ago, the 30 year rate was sitting at 3.66 percent. The monthly payment on a 30 year, $300,000 mortgage at that rate would be $1374.07. If the 30 year rate rises to 8 percent, the monthly payment on a 30 year, $300,000 mortgage at that rate would be $2201.29. Does 8 percent sound crazy to you? It shouldnt. 8 percent was considered to be normal back in the year 2000. Are you starting to get the picture? As interest rates go up, home prices will have to fall. Otherwise, nobody will be able to afford them. In the end, we could end up with tens of millions more homeowners that are substantially underwater on their mortgages. So who is to blame? The Federal Reserve of course. They created this bubble by forcing interest rates down to record low levels. At some point it was inevitable that interest rates would start reverting back to more normal levels, and that adjustment is going to be immensely painful for the U.S. economy. As we saw back in 2008 and 2009, when the housing industry suffers the entire economy suffers. So let us hope and pray that interest rates do not go any higher, but let us also start preparing for the very worst. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

3	Colorado Marijuana legalization has more projected votes than Obama and RomneyJ.G. Vibes People are beginning to understand that fundamental changes need to take place in society for any kind of peace or freedom to be achieved, and that those changes are not going to come from the top down, they can only come from the bottom up. However, there are some states where people have the ability to vote to repeal certain oppressive laws in regards to the drug war, and these measures are actually becoming more popular than the candidates themselves. In Colorado for example, an amendment to legalize marijuana has more support than both Obama and Romney. A University of Denver poll from last week found that 50 percent of likely voters plan to back the marijuana legalization initiative, with 47 percent planning to vote for Obama and 43 percent for Romney. In reality, a prohibition of any kind is a scam, and the drug war is a racket of many prohibitions. What the drug war actually accomplishes is the establishment of black markets and gangs, the erosion of personal liberties, the expansion of the prison system and prison population as well as a constant excuse for frivolous government spending. This hypothesis has been tested time and time again, anytime throughout history where a ruling power has prohibited the consumption or possession of any item whatsoever. Prohibitions of any kind should be opposed, for the reasons I have laid out in the past. However, marijuana is of a specific immediate importance though, because of its ability to heal sick people and create more environmentally friendly industrial products. It is also one of the safest drugs known to our species. J.G. Vibes is the author of an 87 chapter counter culture textbook called Alchemy of the Modern Renaissance and host of a show called Voluntary Hippie Radio.

'Matthew and Lorraine DeRoia, who wed one year ago after the kind of magical courtship you read about in fairytales, now live the kind of lives that are as exciting as an in-flight magazine, industry trade journal, or dental-health brochure,' said Larry Garber, who lives next door to the utterly-bored-with-each-other DeRoias.

2	Obama Is FURIOUS After Donald Trump Says What Everyone Is Thinking About Him Donald Trump is speaking out with his thoughts on the Syrian refugee crisis, and as usual, hes not holding back. This president doesnt have a clue or he does have a clue and he has evil intentionsI dont know, Trump told Howie Carr of Boston when asked about Obamas plan. I find that hard to believe; a lot of people think that. This isnt a question of refugees, Trump continued. This is a question of safety for our people for our country. This is a question of Trojan horse. This could be the ultimate Trojan horse where people are coming in under the guise that we are taking care of them and they end up blowing up big parts of our cities. Trump also claims that Obama is missing a sense of urgency when it comes to the attacks in Paris, and it almost seems that it isnt important to him. What do you think? Do you agree with Trump? Do we need a real leader in the White House who isnt afraid to take action?

3	Corntamination Edible GMO Hepatitis B Vaccines Coming Soon!Truthstream Media and Nutritional Anarchy Do you remember the biotech firm Prodigene? In a special investigative report, we followed the trail of biopharming, where science is using genetically engineered crops to grow pharmaceutical and vaccine components. Some of these treatments are developed to be eaten directly as food. One firm, Prodigene, was caught in a major scandal back in 2002 after experimental pharmaceuticals growing in open air field trials such as AIDS and Hepatitis B vaccines, and treatments for gastrointestinal diseases contaminated nearby food crops. Rather than rein in their potentially hazardous test crops, the USDA publicly supportive of biopharmaceutical potential actually helped Prodigene pay back damages with an interest-free loan and then went on to cover further research. However, the firm disappeared after a subsequent contamination violation led to a USDA decision barring them and their principals from receiving any future testing permits. But did Prodigene really stop its pharma-crop production? Melissa Melton followed its founder and lead research scientist through his work at a spinoff firm, where human trials are set to begin soon for a Hepatitis B vaccine grown in genetically modified corn. 
2	Patriot Confronts Hillary, DESTROYS Her To Her Face Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has stumbled her way through the elections thus far. Not only has she been under investigation throughout her campaign, she has also made some serious strategic errorsputting Sen. Bernie Sanders just slightly behind her. During a recent stop in West Virginia, a newly unemployed coal miner confronted Clinton about her comments of putting coal workers out of business to help the environment. Were going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business, Clinton commented back in March, in a bazaar attempt to get people to support her environmental plan. 39-year-old Bo Copley was joined by a large group of protesters at the event, who questioned how Clinton could even pretend to be friends of workers. How you could say you are going to put a lot of coal miners out of jobs and then come in here and ell us how youre going to be our friend? he asked. Those people out there dont see you as a friend. What I said was totally out of context from what I meant because I have been talking about helping coal country for a very long time, Clinton commented. What I was saying is that the way things are going now, we will continue to lose jobs. Thats what I meant to say. Of course, this is just a complete misrepresentation of the truth, but weve learned to expect this kind of manipulation from the former Secretary of State. What do you think? Does Clinton need to be kept far away from the White House?

According to recent reports, Cher went after Trump with a barrage of insults at an event in Provincetown, Massachusetts on Sunday, calling him a f***ing idiot. He doesnt mean we want to make America great again, she insisted, He means we want to make America straight and white. Cher then went on to add that Trump reminded her of Stalin and Hitler. [Clinton] is shy and shes not the greatest speaker in the world, Cher commented on the former Secretary of State. But this is what I believe and this is what I know. I know she will work every moment of every day. Following the event, Cher continued her attack on Trump calling him a racist, a misogynist, and a horrible person. What do you think of Chers comments?

'I was approached by a cousin who works at the GameStop on Wilshire Boulevard, and when he said there was an open sales clerk position, I had to take it,' said Kiffin, who then proudly placed a GameStop baseball cap on his head. 'I have been going to that GameStop for years. I know the people there. I know the customers. This is just an opportunity I couldn't pass up.' Before leaving the press conference, Kiffin told reporters that, while he is committed to GameStop, his heart will always belong to the Beverly Center Sunglass Hut. 
1	First of all: How dare all of us. It's very easy to pass judgement from our ivory pulpits with our platinum gavels. We see a team finish 7-9 and we immediately think that they are somehow undeserving of entry into a tournament meant to find the very best team in football. We shout and we moan and we complain and we scratch our fat bellies and fart. Well not to throw you under the bus, but I do NOT think that way. And I think it's a travesty that some people do. When the Seahawks entered the season, they did so with the understanding that whomever finished with the best record in NFC West would be allowed into the playoffs regardless of the quality of their club. If they actually had to be good, don't you think they would have gotten some better players, or tried harder? No, you didn't think. We feel that if we were 6'4' 280 lb Monster-Men, we would finish with a winning record or at least 8-8. We like to think we would decline an invite to the NFL playoff tournament if we finished with a 7-9 record, two more losses than wins. Well I have news for you: the Seahawks are being PAID to play those playoff games. It's their JOB. They HAVE to embarrass themselves in front of the country and get demolished by the Saints. Do you think they like it? Of course they don't. Think of this the next time you decide to bash the Blue and Bluish-Green: every single one of those Seahawks has a mother. Even if some of those mothers have died (I wasn't able to find information on each player's mother, but the odds are some of them are dead), these Seahawks still hurt and feel and cry and cry some more. Remember this the next time you're crying and shriveled up in a corner, because I know I will: deep down, inside, when we are at our most weak and pathetic, we are ALL Seattle Seahawks. Keep the faith, Seahawks. If I could name any of you, you know I'd be sending you a shout out right now. 
1	Bouncing back from a disappointing third-place finish in the Nevada caucuses, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz reportedly surged in the polls this week after having his head permanently sealed inside a 2-inch-thick iron mask. Cruz has found new life with voters and is currently riding a wave of popularity into Super Tuesdays primaries after his team made the shrewd strategic move to enclose the candidates head inside a 60-pound cylinder of wrought iron, said political commentator Leslie Morrison, noting that voters have responded extremely favorably to the Texas senators face being completely concealed from view and every one of his talking points rendered inaudible by the thick iron casing surrounding his face. Whether its the fear visible in his eyes through the thin slit in his mask, his muffled screams for help, or his repeated and entirely futile attempts to pry the riveted-shut metal covering off his head, people are finally seeing Cruz in a way that really resonates with them. The latest polls released Tuesday showed Cruz climbing another 10 points after the dehydrated, staggering candidate toppled over at a campaign rally and was too weak to lift his heavy, iron-encased head back up off the floor.

Tom Pierre, news director of Fox affiliate KABB-TV in San Antonio, was equally distraught. 'Yesterday, it was a pleasant 73 degrees,' Pierre said. 'How is a 92-year-old widow supposed to tragically perish in an unventilated tenement apartment with weather like that?' 
2	Heres How Allen West Is Orchestrating The Deportation Of All Muslims In America Recently, Former Florida Congressman Allen West came to the media with an idea on how to prevent Islamic extremism from harming America. Not surprisingly, his comments were not well received by the liberal public. In an interview with BlogTalkRadios REELTalk, West called for a crackdown on mosques that are recruiting Muslims for radicalization. In fact, West called for shutting down the mosques that recent terrorists have attended. The real thing that were going to have to do is the mosques and Islamic Centers where these individuals are attending when they commit these acts, we gotta shut em down, West told the reporters. We have to send a messageThat place of so-called worship, which is just proselytizing, you know, hate and violence, they have to be shut down. I think thats the only way we send a message into the Muslim communities here in Western Civilization that were not going to tolerate it. West clarified that he was not calling for the shutdown of all Islamic Centers, but rather just those that are known to be feeding violent jihadists into the public. We have to say, this is a zero-sum game, West concluded. Were not tolerating it. What do you think of Wests comments? 
2	Police Officer Takes Bullet To The Head After Saving Hostages In Wisconsin Shootout Just days ago Wisconsin had the misfortune of dealing with the most recent lunatic shooter. The shooter took multiple hostages and killed one innocent citizen in his rampage. This brave officer was part of the team that saved the hostages. Unfortunately, he didnt make it out unscathed. He took a bullet to the head, and lucky for him the helmet took the brunt of the hit. He is in the hospital recovering, and doctors say he will be OK. I would certainly anticipate if it can be shown that he is the one who fired the weapon that struck our officer that he would be criminally charged with attempted homicide, the Chief Officer said. As there seems to be multiple culprits, the officers are still figuring out who is responsible for what. Should the man responsible be sentenced to life in prison for shooting an officer? 
1	Citing the undeniable cogency of their thesis, local bar attendee Vince Deremo told reporters Friday that his group of friends currently chanting shots! in unison do, indeed, make a compelling point. Had they yelled shots a single timeor fewer than 10 timesI would likely be left only somewhat convinced, but the fact that they emphasize this point repeatedly and at length certainly gives their argument more weight, said Deremo, noting that his colleagues rhetoric was further supported when they began punctuating each vocalization of shots with an accompanying clap. And as their chanting grows progressively faster and louder, I find myself further drawn into their line of reasoning, to the point where I can see no flaw in the proposal as theyve presented it. I concur wholeheartedly with this conclusion: Shots! Im buying! Deremo added that he was satisfied with the results achieved by the group, and looked forward to discussing more ideas with them in the future. 
2	Michelle Obama Breaks The News... Its All Over Now Perhaps one of the most bizarre outcomes of the Trump victory has been a liberal push for Michelle Obama to run for president in 2020. Fortunately, one of Obamas top advisors has just revealed this disaster is unlikely to ever happen. David Axelrod was a key player in Obamas win in 2008. He recently addressed the idea that Michelle Obama is still eligible to run for president. People say to me all the time, Well, do you think she might run for office sometime? Axelrod said, before addressing the fact that Michelle has been on the campaign trail for Hillary. I would bet everything I own against that prospect. She is not someone who loves politics at all. And I dont think shes really out there as a political figure now. Shes out there because she feels passionately about the choice here. Axelrod went on to describe Michelle as being a reluctant conscript to politics. She is more interested in her own life and children, he added. I honestly think shes going to be very happy to get her life back when this is over and recede a little bit from the public, Axelrod concluded. Thats welcome news for all of us awaiting the upcoming departure of the Obamas from the White House. Eight years of the Obamas has been more than enough. Do you agree? 
3	Bernanke Joins Elite Think Tank at The Brookings InstitutionStephen Lendman Expect appointments to corporate boards. CEOs value his rainmaking services. On February 3, Brookings headlined Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to Join Economic Studies at Brookings. Hes a Distinguished Fellow in Residence. Hes affiliated with the Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy (HCFMP). On January 16, Brookings launched it. Its board of trustees vice chair Glenn Hutchins contributed $10 million in seed money. He co-founded the multi-billion dollar private equity firm Silver Lake Partners. Guess what type policies HCFMP will endorse. We are proud to welcome chairman Bernanke into the Brookings family, said president Strobe Talbot. Hes Clintons former deputy secretary of state. He was directly involved in some of his worst policies. Brookings agenda is brazenly imperial. Its pro-corporate. Its anti-populist. It feigns concern about inequality. It supports government of, by and for privileged elites alone. Expect Bernanke to fit right in. His Fed tenure was deplorable. He betrayed the public trust. His record attests to his wickedness. His agenda was ruthlessly anti-populist. He did more to thirdworldize America for profit than any of his predecessors. He handed Wall Street crooks multi-trillions of dollars. He facilitated the greatest wealth transfer in history. He created a protracted Main Street Depression. No end in sight looms. He referred to the Greenspan/Bernanke put. Hed eliminate immoral hazard. Its immoral behavior. Its outsized excess. Its grand theft. It bails out large investors. Doing so encourages imprudent risks. Winning is guaranteed. Regulatory checks are absent. Anything goes is policy. Things persist under the guise of saving the system, said Grantham. Money manipulators have things their way. Fed chairmen are tools of monied interests. They know who butters their bread. They return favors manyfold. Greenspan did from August 1987 through January 2006. Bernanke exceeded his worst policies. He did so from February 1, 2006 through January 31, 2014. Both chairmen qualify as maestros of misery. They created bubble financial conditions. Americas 1% profited hugely. They did so at the expense of most others. Virtually all global assets are overpriced. Bubble conditions exist. Grantham compared them to Einsteins definition of insanity. The madness of repeating the same mistakes. Expecting a different outcome doesnt work. Last spring, Grantham compared Fed policy to beating a donkey. He called it the 1% growing economy. (H)e keeps beating it until it either turns into a horse or drops dead from too much beating, said Grantham. Weve been conned. Were manipulated to believe debt is everything. In 1982, it was one-and-a-quarter times GDP. Its nearly triple that amount now. It has nothing to do with long-term growth. Its an accounting world. Its paper, said Grantham. The real world is the quantity and quality of your people, and the quality and quantity of capital spending. Are you building new machines? Are you being inventive? Are you educating a new generation properly? Were in this death grip that only paper things matter. Vital issues go unaddressed. Wealth keeps getting transferred from the poor to the rich. Interest rates are outrageously now. Theyre practically zero. Speculators benefit. Ordinary people lose out. Retirees are deprived of vital income. Financial interests are served at the expense of the real economy. During his tenure as Fed chairman, Bernanke handed speculators over $20 trillion. Most was practically interest free. They took full advantage. Money printing madness defines Fed policy. Helicopter Ben dropped none on Main Street. In 2002, his helicopter money speech said: It allows it to produce as many US dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost. Most circulating money is bank-generated credit. Its created out of thin air. Its when banks extend loans. When old ones are repaid faster than new ones, money supply shrinks. QE is supposed to reverse things. Things havent worked out this way. Key is where Fed money goes. Dropping it on Main Street stimulates economic growth. Handing it to Wall Street crooks parks it in their reserve accounts. Its not used for lending. Former Reagan budget director David Stockman said it stayed trapped in the canyons of Wall Street. He called it high grade monetary heroin. Its kill(ing) the patient. Its legalized bank robbery. Its recklessly out-of-control. It inflate(d) yet another unsustainable bubble. They all burst. No exceptions. This time isnt different. Money printing madness and bailouts reflect the single most shameful chapter in American financial history, said Stockman. Bernanke operated by Abraham Maslows maxim. (I)f the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail, he said. QE continues. Its slowing. Yellen can rev it up full bore any time. Its self-defeating. It contracts the money supply. Its by sucking up collateral needed to create credit. It constrains economic growth. It doesnt create jobs. It solely benefits Wall Street. Banksters made out like bandits. Speculators profited hugely. They did so at the expense of Main Street. Financial warfare rages. America and other societies are affected. Ordinary people are hurt most. Hard times keep getting harder. QE works when used constructively. Money injected responsibly into the economy creates growth. It creates jobs. When people have money they spend it. A virtuous cycle of prosperity follows. America once was sustainably prosperous. Today its in decline. Its heading for third world status. Its more kleptocracy than democracy. Money power in private hands assures trouble. Ellen Brown explained more. Up to 40% of everything we buy goes (for) interest. It goes to bankers, financiers and bondholders. A third or more of national wealth shifts from Main Street to Wall Street. Complicit politicians let it happen. They do so for generous benefits derived. Greed is the national pastime. So is looting America for profit. Most people think paying bills and credit card charges on time avoids interest charges. Not so, says Brown. Their costs pass on to consumers. Unwittingly they pay. Ordinary people make wealthy ones richer. They do so at their own expense. What better argument for public banking than that. Borrowing from public banks eliminates or greatly reduces interest rate charges. It works at federal, state and local levels. Public banks dont have to earn profits. Theyre not beholden to Wall Street or shareholders. Theyre self-sustaining. They can lend for their own needs. They can do it for businesses, farmers and consumers. The more loans roll over, the more debt-free money is created. If used productively for growth, its virtually inflation-free. As long as new money produces goods and services, price stability follows. Economies flourish. All boats are lifted. Millions of high-pay/good benefit jobs can be created. Homes become more affordable. Foreclosures end. So do out-of-control speculation, booms and busts. Private savings, pensions, and investments become secure. So do Social Security, Medicare and other vital social programs. They can be in perpetuity. Surpluses replace deficits. Sustained prosperity follows. Its not pie in the sky. It happened before. It can happen again. Good policies achieve good results. Bad ones wreck things for most people. Hard times get harder. Current conditions reflect Exhibit A. They didnt happen by accident. Bernankes Fed bears full responsibility. Economist Steve Keen commented on his legacy. It certainly wont be as he expected, said Keen. Hell likely be blamed for causing the Great Recession' He blamed his predecessors for causing the Great Depression. His finger-pointing doesnt get any more blatant than praising Milton Friedman on his 90th birthday. It was in 2002. I would like to say to Milton and Anna (Schwartz): Regarding the Great Depression. Youre right. We did it. Were very sorry. But thanks to you, we wont do it again. Hes done it and then some. The worst is yet to come. (I)f Ben had truly learned from both his analysis of the data and Milton and Anna (Schwartz), then youd think that surely he would have ensured that the rate of growth of M1 would never drop to or below zero, wouldnt you? Thats exactly what happened. Americas money supply is lower than when he became Fed chairman. He has no control over whether banks choose to make loans. Doing so increases money supply growth. Holding back shrinks it. So on Bens own theory of what caused the Great Depression, he could quite easily be found guilty, said Keen. Crisis conditions occurred on his watch. His policies were the very things he said the Fed got wrong in the late 1920s. He wrote his own legacy. It wont change now. Hes ideologically over-the-top. Hes responsible for more human wreckage than any of his predecessors. He caused epidemic levels of poverty, unemployment and deprivation. He engineered the greatest wealth heist in world history. He debauched the dollar. He created multiple market bubbles. He created worse crisis conditions than in 1929. Market analyst Yves Smith calls him Greenspan on steroids. Hell be remembered as the economy wrecker of last resort. Hes unapologetic. Debt pyramiding doesnt work. Money printing madness reflects grand theft. Accountability isnt Bernankes long suit. Hes off to greener pastures. Hes cashing in for services rendered. Hell be well rewarded for enriching Wall Street. Banksters take care of their own.

1	With a banana daiquiri in one hand and a jaw-dropping blonde in the other, Republican vice-presidential candidiate Jack Kemp yesterday unveiled his new 'poolside' economic plan. According to Republican vice-presidential candidate Jack Kemp, by hanging out and having a good time by the pool, wealthy Americans can help create more than five million new pool-cleaning jobs for the nation's lower class and generate an additional $15 billion in trickle-down fun. Kemp explained that by focusing on hanging out and having a good time by the pool, the nation's upper middle class can help create more than five million trickle-down jobs for lower-class Americans by the year 2000. 'Each rich person's pool needs to be cleaned, supervised and attended to by a squad of valets,' Kemp told a crowd of reporters and giggling model/actresses. 'Those are very real jobs. And that's not even taking into account all the masseurs, bartenders and leggy houseguests with expensive tastes who would also be necessary for a good pool.' Kemp added that by lowering taxes on such items as margaritas, suntan oil and Hawaiian shirts, the U.S. will generate more than $5 billion in pool-related federal revenue and increase the U.S. per-capita good-time index by more than 15 percent. 'The first order of any economic plan is to encourage spending,' Kemp said as his feet were massaged by a team of Hispanic servants. 'Enjoying a poolside lounge is a great way to do that. Mmmm... More pressure on the insteps, Carlos.' Republican Party insiders also point out the economic importance of getting a deep, dark, luscious tan. 'With a great tan, you look good, and when you look good you feel good,' party strategist Jeffrey Edwards said from his pool beside his Lake Tahoe cabin. 'And when you feel good, you feel like spending money. That's what's known as trickle-down fun.' When questioned as to whether poolside economics would apply to the nation's wintry northern regions, Kemp laughed, saying, 'What? You've never heard of an indoor pool?' At Kemp's order, the reporter who asked the question was then 'dunked' in the shallow end by a large group of bikini-clad, tittering 19-year-olds. Concluded Kemp: 'More refreshmentschop chop!'

A spokeswoman for New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said one of the officers was shot in the face and the other was shot in an arm. Doctors say that both officers are in stable condition. We are thankful that they will make a full recovery. This could have ended very differently. Please pray for these officers and their families, and send your thanks for the sacrifice they make every day. Do you think these men are heroes? 
1	Observing the positive result achieved by using his bat to smash a baseball into left field, Diamondbacks right fielder Justin Upton announced to teammates and coaches Monday that he had been motivated to study the hitting capacity of wood, the naturally occurring organic lignin-cellulose composite. 'I decided to acquire a number of books about wood from the library, and I was quite surprised to read that wood comes from trees or shrubs,' said Upton, who admitted that the new information had precipitated a personal paradigm shift in regard to his assumptions about baseball bats. 'While there is some knowledge I can acquire from reading, I believe it will eventually be necessary to perform a number of trials to test the interactions of kinetic energy, acceleration, wood, and ball in a controlled batting-cage environment.' In 2007, Upton conducted an experiment to determine the number of stitches on a baseball, but abandoned the endeavor when he concluded that baseballs were too curvy to establish a proper tally.

3	Ron Pauls Restore America Plan Smashes Federal TyrannyCassandra Anderson, Contributor The Department of the Interior has over 70,000 employees and receives more than $12 billion in taxpayer funds. Federally Owned Land When the federal government exerts power that is not specifically given to the feds in the Constitution, it is a violation of the Tenth Amendment and states rights. Here are a few examples of how the DOI has abused its power over federal land: The DOIs sub-agency, the US Geological Survey, appears to have fudged data that favors dumping in Yucca Mountain. Some drillers pay as little as $1.50/per acre. The DOI prevents drilling on most of the Outer Continental Shelf that could contribute to energy independence in America. One study shows that Alaska could be the 8th largest oil producer in the world if drilling were allowed on its shelf. Here are some examples of DOI oil scandals: The states and the people have been left to suffer the consequences of bad federal policies, corruption and disregard for safety. Monsanto Partnership It appears that Monsanto wields great influence in writing DOI manuals because Monsanto crops have been planted on wildlife refuges across 28 states. Ironically, the DOI is supposed to protect nature in the wildlife refuges, instead of actively promoting the contamination of nature. Monsantos presence on wildlife refuges is designed to instill confidence in their dangerous products here in the US and overseas. The Endangered Species Act Is a Tool of Tyranny The DOIs crackdown on land use that penalizes landowners and taxpayers has resulted in saving exactly ZERO endangered species (all of them have been de-listed for other reasons). Here is a short list of the DOIs corrupt use of the Endangered Species Act: While most of the politically-motivated abuse of the Endangered Species Act occurs in Western States, the DOI is expanding its lust for control in all 50 sates.

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! 
2	North Korea Threatens Nuclear Attack On THIS U.S. City At the beginning of the week, North Korea issued a threat warning of an indiscriminate pre-emptive nuclear strike of justice on Washington and Seoul. The warning was a response to the U.S. South Korean military drills. Threats like this are not unusual from North Korea, which has becoming increasingly more aggressive since Kim Jong Un took power in 2011. The threats have escalated this week after drills started. Pyongyang described them as invasion drills that will run through April. The National Defense Commission in North Korea has also threatened striks against targets in the South, U.S. bases in the Pacific and in the mainland, arguing that enemies are working with bloodshot eyes to infringe upn the dignity, sovereignty and vital rights of North Korea. If we push the buttons to annihilate the enemies even right now, all bases of provocations will be reduced to seas in flames and ashes in a moment, the chilling statement read. This is just one of many indications that world leaders are quickly losing respect for American under Obamas administration. It is clear that North Korea views the United States as a weak opponent. What do you think of these threats?

3	Soaring Mortgage Rates Are Going To Make It Far More Difficult To Buy Or Sell A HouseMichael Snyder If we actually did have free markets and they were behaving rationally, mortgage rates would be far, far higher. Well, now that the Fed has indicated that they are going to be starting to taper QE at some point, bond yields have skyrocketed and this is rapidly pushing up mortgage rates. According to Freddie Mac, we just witnessed the largest weekly increase in mortgage rates in 26 years. Sadly, this is only just the beginning. Unless the Federal Reserve intervenes, mortgage rates are going to continue to try to revert to normal. When mortgage rates go up, so do monthly payments. All of a sudden, families that could afford the monthly payments on a $300,000 mortgage are no longer able to do so. This is why when mortgage rates rise, it tends to push housing prices down. If rates continue to go up, it is going to become increasingly difficult to sell your house. Less people will be able to afford the monthly payments as rates rise. Many families will have to end up reducing their selling prices. The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rose from 3.93 percent last week to 4.46 percent this week; the highest it has been since the week of July 28, 2011. This represents the largest weekly increase for the 30-year fixed since the week ended April 17, 1987. A year ago, the 30-year rate was sitting at 3.66 percent. The monthly payment on a $300,000 mortgage at that rate would be $1374.07. Currently, the 30-year rate is sitting at 4.46 percent. The monthly payment on a $300,000 mortgage at that rate would be $1512.93. If the 30-year rate rises to 7 percent, the monthly payment on a $300,000 mortgage would be $1995.91. Does 7 percent sound crazy to you? It shouldnt. As the chart posted below demonstrates, a 7 percent mortgage was considered normal a decade ago And as they go up, they are going to absolutely crush any semblance of a housing recovery. Meanwhile, Americans continue to get poorer. This week we learned that real per capita disposable income plunged at an annualized rate of 9.21 percent in the first quarter of 2013. That is absolutely astounding. We havent seen anything like that since the darkest days of the last recession. If Americans do not have money to spend, that is going to hurt every industry including housing. And already we are seeing pain in the housing market. For example, the number of mortgage applications has fallen by 29 percent over the last eight weeks. And rising rates are also causing a lot of families to turn to adjustable rate mortgages. They played a major role in the last housing crash, and according toCNBC they are now making a comeback After hovering around record lows for the past few years, mortgage rates are rising dramatically. That has consumers not only shopping more but also considering adjustable rate mortgages, which offer lower rates and lower monthly payments. These ARMs, many requiring interest payments only, were popular during the latest housing boom but quickly fell out of favor when safer, fixed-rate loan rates fell to record lows. So what does all of this mean? It means that the tiny little mini-bubble that we have seen in housing this year is rapidly coming to an end. It also means that it is going to become far more difficult to buy or sell a house. Monthly payments are going to go up substantially, and many homeowners are going to find that they are not going to be able to sell their homes for what they had anticipated. If you are already in the process of buying a house, hopefully you locked in a really good rate while you could. Those record low mortgage rates sure were nice, and we will probably never see them again. Now we are headed for a very painful adjustment thanks to Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve. They should never have distorted the housing market so much, and now we are all going to suffer the consequences. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

3	How to Take Your Money Out Of The Bank Without Going To PrisonDave Hodges It is now widely known that the derivatives debt is over $1 quadrillion dollars and some of the rank and file in this country are concerned that their bank accounts, 401Ks, IRAs and pensions will be confiscated by desperate, tier two bankers, who are forestalling the inevitable currency collapse by stealing your money. The time to have taken your money out of the bank was yesterday. There is very little time before the IMFs plan to steal 10%, for starters, of all bank accounts in Europe.JPMorgan Chase is banning wire transfers from their bank to foreign banks to prevent American capital flight, which will surely happen as America wakes up to the desperate situation that the banks are in. The bank is also prohibiting any cash withdrawals of $50,000 or more. This past Friday, HSBC (America) followed suit. It is highly likely that all 5 megabanks will enact the same policies in the near future. Although most Americans are free to leave the country, it is becoming exceedingly difficult for Americans to take their money with them. Preparing for expatriation is a daunting task and I do not believe that most of us have the time or the ability to get our assets out of the country as well as make detailed plans and implement those plans in advance of the coming crash as we attempt to leave the country. Therefore, most of us are going to be forced to adopt an adaptation strategy. With all that is available to read on this topic, it is mind boggling regarding how few people are preparing to act to preserve what assets they have remaining by removing their money from the bank. Because you have put your money in the bank, you no longer own your money. Taking what was your money out of the bank is no longer a matter of walking up to your friendly teller with a withdrawal slip and the teller cheerfully honors your request and you calmly exit the bank with your money in tow. In fact, your teller is trained to look for certain indicators in any cash withdrawal of any significance. As you move to withdraw the bulk of your money, there are three federal banking laws that you should be cognizant of: Cash Transaction Report (CTR), a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) and structuring. CTRs Federal law requires that the bank file a report based upon any withdrawal or deposit of $10,000 or more on any single given day.The law was designed to put a damper on money laundering, sophisticated counterfeiting and other federal crimes. To remain in compliance with the law, financial institutions must obtain personal identification, information about the transaction and the social security number of the person conducting the transaction. Technically, there is no federal law prohibiting the use of large amounts of cash. However, a CTR must be filed in ALL cases of cash transaction regardless of the reason underlying the transaction. Before proceeding with the planed withdrawal of your money, I would strongly suggest that you read the following federal guidelines as it relates to CTRs as produced by theThe Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). All the federal regulations contained in this article are elucidated in this series of federal reports. Structuring and SAR There will undoubtedly be some geniuses whose math ability will tell them that all they have to do is to withdraw $9,999.99 and the bank and its protector, the federal government, will be none the wiser. It is not quite that simple. Here are a few examples of structuring violations that one should be aware of: 1. Joe has obtained $15,000 in cash from selling his truck. He knows that if he deposits $15,000 in cash, his financial institution will be required to file a CTR. Instead he deposits $7,500 in cash in the morning with one financial institution employee and comes back to the financial institution later in the day to another employee to deposit the remaining $7,500, hoping to evade the CTR reporting requirement. Joe should have used multiple accounts to conduct this transaction. 2. Sally needs $16,000 in cash to pay for supplies for her arts and crafts business. Sally cashes an $8,000 personal check at a financial institution on a Monday. She subsequently cashes another $8,000 personal check at the bank the following day. Sally is careful to have cashed the two checks on different days and structured the transactions in an attempt to evade the CTR reporting requirement. Sally should have made irregular deposits on staggered days. 3. A married couple, John and Jane, sell a vehicle for $12,000 in cash. To evade the CTR reporting requirement, John and Jane structure their transactions using different accounts. John deposits $8,000 of that money into his and Janes joint account in the morning. Later that day, Jane deposits $1,500 into the joint account, then $2,500 into her sisters account, which is later transferred to John and Janes joint account at the same bank. Again, John and Jane should have used multiple banks. The aggregate total of the three transactions totals more than the $10,000 threshold, therefore, a SAR would be filed by the bank and you would be the subject of a federal investigation as all three of the above cases clearly violate the federal banking laws related to structuring. It is a federal crime to break up transactions into smaller amounts for the purpose of evading the CTR reporting requirement. In these instances, the bank is required to file a SAR which serves to notify the federal government of an individuals attempt to structure deposits or withdrawals by circumventing the $10,000 reporting requirement. Structuring transactions to prevent a CTR from being reported can result in imprisonment for not more than five years and/or a fine of up to $250,000. If structuring involves more than $100,000 in a twelve month period or is performed while violating another law of the federal government, the penalty is doubled. Enforcement Much like the enforcement of our tax laws, the federal governments enforcement of its banking laws as it relates to CTRs, SARs and subsequent structuring is quite draconian. Civilian asset forfeiture laws come into play. The government can seize your bank accounts while it determines if a crime has been committed. The government can literally seize your assets in perpetuity without an order of the court. Of course, you could try and sue but you will be up against the deep pockets of the federal government and the case could take years. By the time your case is decided, the financial banking crisis that you are so desperately trying to avoid by withdrawing your money, could be over. So, proceed with caution. Withdrawing Your Money From the Bank The best way to avoid getting your money caught in the bank in the midst of a bank run would be to not let the lions share of your money ever cross the bank. The simplest way to accomplish this is to prevent any form of deposit from going automatically into your account, as much as it is possible. Secondly, you need to begin to pay cash for everything. Lets say that every 30 days, Bob cashes his check at the bank from his work worth $5,000 net pay. Bob leaves just enough in the bank to be able to conduct normal banking business. Bob walks out of the bank every month with the majority of the cash from his check. Bob should begin to pay cash for as much as he can, such as eating out, paying the electric bill (pay the bill in person), buying groceries, etc. When it becomes necessary to make a big ticket purchase, Bob could temporarily leave more in the bank to cover the writing of a check. You would also be wise to open multiple banking accounts ranging from the big five megabanks to your local credit unions. You could withdraw much smaller amounts until the sum total of your accounts is greatly diminished and is in your possession. To open the accounts, simply write a personal check from your home bank. Of course, in these cases, the bank could hold the check for 15-30 days. I cannot promise you that if you become the target of federal investigators, that you will not have your every financial move scrutinized and the feds will eventually discover the aggregate patterns of withdrawal. People who I interviewed told me that they believe that the federal government is in the process of getting the banking computers to talk to each other in a way that would reveal structuring, but that technology is not yet online. If you ever become the target of a federal investigation, do not under any circumstances allow yourself to be interviewed by federal officials without an attorney present. In many cases, people go to jail and pay huge fines, not because they have committed a federal crime, but because federal officials state that they have lied or misled them. And if you do not have an attorney present, it is your word versus the federal government. Conclusion In an upside-down world in which the banks legally own your money, getting your money away from these criminal banks has become an art form. I cannot promise you that you will be able to retrieve all of your assets; however, I can promise you that if you do not act, you will lose everything. Today and tomorrow (10/23 and 10/24) FEMA and DHS are engaged in part two of simulating a cyber terrorist attack upon the banking system. One thousand banks and all 50 governors are involved in this test. I would strongly suggest that you keep your gas tank filled and you have plenty of cash, food and ammunition on hand. I am not predicting a problem with this test, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Grid Ex II, November 13-14 Although personally, I think we have some time to prepare before the currency is collapsed, the dates which have me most concerned are November 13th and 14th which are the dates coinciding with Grid Ex II in which a simulated continental power grid failure will be rehearsed. This opens a whole can of worms. For example, once you have the bulk of your money out of the bank, what should you replace the cash with? What should you be buying in anticipation of the currency collapse which is looming? These topics and more will be the subject of the next article.

3	DARPA Announces Successful Live-Fire Test of EXACTO Smart BulletsBy selfnews Post A rather low-quality video of the 50-caliber round sought to demonstrate the potential for a state-of-the-art sniper system (that) combines a maneuverable bullet and a real-time guidance system to track and deliver the projectile to the target, allowing the bullet to change path during flight. Now DARPA is announcing that they have successfully completed its most successful round of live-fire tests to date. Perhaps most notably, even a novice shooter using the system for the first time was able to hit a moving target with the guidance system. The target hits are shown in the newest video. Program manager Jerome Dunn explains the significance, at least in technical terms: The continuous guidance of a small-caliber bullet to target seems to be tailor made for a robot army controlled by artificial intelligence. May we live in interesting times. Smart Bullets, an idea that was introduced in the 1980s, a movie called Runaway with tom selleck and gene simmons Ohhhhhh beat me to it There is no austerity for death dealers. A maneuverable bullet? Not without an outside source of energy acting upon the projectile. This is old news which is being recast because of Jade Helm-15, to try and scare the sh*t out the people. That bullet does not maneuver on its own, this is strictly an aiming device. As far as I know, there is no bullet created that can alter its course in mid flight, specifically because of how it exits the rifle. It spins and when a projectile spins there can be no added outside force which would be able to alter its course once it leaves the barrel. DARPA gives just enough information to allow the idiot pundits to make fools of themselves by embellishing the story with their own BS. DARPA is always releasing this type of information to make it look like they are spending our monies responsibly, but are wasting billions looking for that magic bullet, as it were. They have only created one item that is worthy of what we would have expected of a Star Wars technology, and that is the Vehicle Mounted Active Denial System (V-MADS) which uses microwaves to heat a persons skin such that theyll run away thus dispersing rioting crowds. But my friends it was considered too horrific to be used in Iraq, so DARPA sticks with exoskeleton robots and machines what can walk on all fours, most of which are useless in todays crowd control or war efforts. The only way I see this could be workable is if the bullet were able to alter its drag on one side or another, and, by continuing to adjust drag, find its way to the target. What if the target were able to run TOWARDS the bullet, though, I wonder? But I agree that this seems to be propaganda, not actuality. DARPA gives just enough information to allow the idiot pundits to make fools of themselves You have to admit, though, theyre getting extremely good with their CGI representations of reality. Exacto trade name is a copy right and or patent corporate name violation because its already in use. Exacto is a small hobby knife and blade manufacture. So send about 50 rounds of the smart bullet to me here along with everything else thats needed for its guidance to target success in various calibers and grains and I will be willing to overlook this violation and error on your part there at DARPA. Its very good post 
3	Laying the Foundations for Preemptive Nuclear War Against IranNile Bowie, Contributor As leaders in Tel Aviv assert that Israel may conduct military strikes against Iran before the US Presidential elections in November [2], Major General Hassan Firouzabadi of the Iranian Armed Forces reiterated Irans commitment to the full annihilation of the Zionist regime and the continual support of Palestinian autonomy [3]. Even if Tehran reaches an agreement with the IAEA, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak refused to rule out a military strike against Iranian facilities, demanding that Iran dismantle its uranium enrichment sites and use only imported fuel [4]. The new legislation targets Irans national oil and tanker firms and widens sanctions on Irans energy sector to any international joint venture where Tehran is a substantial partner or investor. As the US continually pressures Beijing to join its oil embargo, the Chinese Foreign Ministry remains vocally opposed to the new package of economic sanctions against Iran [8]. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich blasted the US for imposing new unilateral sanctions against Iran, describing the move as an irrational measure intended to the harm pace of negotiations [9]. India has remained adamant against expanding sanctions on Iran [10], as New Delhi and Tehran agree to increase annual bilateral trade two thirds to $25 billion by 2015, confirming their intent to bypass US sanctions by making payments for a significant portion of its oil purchases from Iran in rupees [11]. As further cooperation between the US and the Persian Gulf monarchies of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) remains evident through their unanimous support of Syrias armed opposition, Saudi Arabia remains a major beneficiary under the continued imposition of sanctions on Tehran from Washington. Japan and South Korea once accounted for 26% of Irans oil exports [12], now both Seoul [13] and Tokyo [14] have sought stable supplies of crude oil from Saudi Arabia. As South Africa turns to Saudi Arabia after halting business with Iran [15], the kingdoms crude output is at a thirty-year high [16], as shipments to the United States quietly rise to 25% [17]. As a result of sanctions on Iran, Christine Lagarde of the International Monetary Fund predicts that oil prices could spike as much as 30% and hover around $160 per barrel if Irans crude oil exports fell sharply [18]. As Iranian production hits a ten-year low as of March 2012, industry-wide fears of a recession-fueled fall in demand have prompted the reduction of total world oil production through the imposition of embargoes on Iranian oil; higher prices triggered by a supply squeeze from the sanctions work to further benefit international oil companies and producers like Saudi Arabia [19]. In March 2012, the US granted Japan and 10 EU nations a six-month reprieve to gradually cut their imports of Iranian oil, lest they be subjected to their own financial sanctions and cut off from the US financial system [20]. Under the 2012 US National Defense Authorization Act, Barack Obama can impose financial sanctions on foreign banks that carry out financial transactions with Irans central bank for the purchase of petroleum or petroleum products from Iran [21]. Given the fragile state of the European economy, the further implementation of financial sanctions on nations who fail to comply with the oil embargo on Iran is thoroughly unreasonable, with entirely negative implications for the European Union. Any further escalation of tensions with Iran would likely trigger inflated oil prices, which could further cripple the unstable economies of Greece and Portugal and potentially lead to those nations leaving the European Union. Despite Iranian Oil Minister Rostam Qassemi downplaying the negative effects of sanctions [22], inflation is soaring within Iran as the cost of food increases between 25% to 125%, with 60% of the population relying on cash subsidies handed out by Tehran [23]. Irans budget deficit for the 2011/2012 fiscal year is expected to be between $30 to $50 billion, as the Iranian rial continues to plunge after the imposition of the oil embargo, causing widespread panic buying of gold among the Iranian public [24]. As commodity prices in Iran continue to skyrocket, former Mossad director Efraim Halevy remarked, The rial is going down, its gone down by over 50 percent. Its almost impossible to describe the damage done, while former Israeli foreign minister Shlomo Ben-Ami forewarns, When a national currency loses 50% of its value in a matter of weeks, economic collapse is at hand. [25][26]. As Iran struggled to replace its client base following the imposition of US-led economic sanctions, Israeli Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz spoke before the Israeli cabinet predicting the collapse of the Iranian economy [27]. Haaretz reports the remarks of an unnamed senior official in the Israeli Foreign Ministry, These arent sanctions against Iran. Instead, they are sanctions imposed by the West to curb Israels attack plans, had Israel not spoken out about its intention to attack, none of this would be happening. The Iranians are frightened. You have to understand whats going on there in stores; citizens grab food off the shelves because they are worried about an impending attack. Inflation is soaring and the currency has lost half its value. All this attests to fear. [28] As the black market in Iran expands amid an increasing lack of public confidence in the rial, the role of the state is indirectly strengthened because smuggling imports requires strong connections within the regime, leaving the poor and lower middle class susceptible to poverty while the officials being targeted by sanctions themselves benefit from the embargo [29]. The fact that Obama administration chose to preemptively impose sanctions on Iran before the P5+1 meeting in Baghdad even took place indicates that the objective of US-Israeli policy toward Iran seeks not mutual agreement and reconciliation, but the further perpetuation of conflict to ensure that the question of Irans nuclear energy issue remains unsolved. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the scope for sanctions over Irans nuclear program had been exhausted and any additional measures were intended to provoke discontent in the Iranian population [30]. As the United States and its allies offer unflinching support to armed opposition groups under cover of democratic activism in non-acquiescent countries in the region, any popular revolution in Iran would unquestionably be supported and used to pressure the government from within, even using the opportunity to launch an armed opposition insurrection. An articled published in The New Yorker by Seymour M. Hersh entitled, Our Men in Iran?, documents how members of Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MEK), an Iranian dissident group and US State Department-listed terrorist organization, were trained in communications, cryptography, small-unit tactics and weaponry by the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) at a base in Nevada starting in 2005 [31]. JSOC instructed MEK operatives on how to penetrate major Iranian communications systems, allowing the group to intercept telephone calls and text messages inside Iran for the purpose of sharing them with American intelligence. The group has been implicated in the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists [32] and the planting of the Stuxnet malware that sabotaged Irans nuclear facility in Natanz [33]. MEK was founded in 1965 as a Marxist Islamic mass political movement aimed at agitating the monarchy of the US-backed Iranian Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The group initially sided with revolutionary clerics led by Ayatollah Khomeini following the 1979 Islamic Revolution, but eventually turned away from the regime during a power struggle that resulted in the group waging urban guerilla warfare against Irans Revolutionary Guards in 1981. The organization was later given refuge by Saddam Hussein and mounted attacks on Iran from within Iraqi territory, killing an estimated 17,000 Iranian nationals in the process [34]. MEK exists as the main component of the Paris-based National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), a coalition of democratic Iranian organizations, groups and personalities, calling itself a parliament-in-exile seeking to establish a democratic, secular and coalition government in Iran [35]. Following the toppling of Saddam Hussein, UN special representative in Iraq Martin Kobler organized efforts to relocate MEK insurgents to a former US military base near the Baghdad airport, with the full support of the US Embassy in Iraq and the State Department to avoid violent clashes between the MEK and the Shiite-led Iraqi government [36]. MEK has long received material assistance from Israel, who assisted the organization with broadcasting into Iran from their political base in Paris, while the MEK and NCRI have reportedly provided the United States with intelligence on Irans nuclear program. Despite the documented cases of atrocities committed by MEK forces, elder statesmen such as former NATO Supreme Allied Commander General Wesley K. Clark, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former 9/11 Commission Chairman Lee Hamilton were paid $20,000 to $30,000 per engagement to endorse the removal of the Mujahideen-e Khalq from the US State Departments list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations [37]. NBC News reports that Israel provided financing, training and arms to Mujahideen-e Khalq, who are responsible for killing five Iranian nuclear scientists since 2007 using motorcycle-borne assailants often attaching small magnetic bombs to the exterior of the victims cars [38]. A recent investigation by the US Treasury Department has indicated that Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization is financially sponsored by the Israeli regime and Saudi Arabia [39]. Upon launching a war against Iran, aggressor nations would likely utilize MEK forces as opposition insurgents and could even recognize the touted parliament-in-exile, the National Council of Resistance of Iran, as Irans legitimate representative, much like the how the Friends of Syria group has recognized the opposition Syrian National Council [40]. From her political base in Paris, exiled NCRI leader Maryam Rajavi is a strong candidate for Western support in contrast to internal opposition figures such as Mir-Hossein Mousavi, former Iranian Prime Minister turned political reformist and figurehead of the Green Movement demonstrations in 2009 following the victory of incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in elections widely perceived as a fraudulent [41]. Although Mousavi has advocated greater personal freedoms in Iran and the disbanding of religious police enforcers, he is a strong advocate of Irans nuclear energy program and would likely never yield the kind of acquiescence to Western policy that exiled figures such as Maryam Rajavi would uphold in exchange for political support and material assistance [42]. It is widely believed that Mousavi is currently held under house arrest without an arrest warrant, charge or trial [43]. While figures such as Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi publically renounce nuclear weapons [44], Iranian scientists claim to be enriching uranium to 20% to develop radiopharmaceuticals and industrial isotopes under the supervision of the IAEA inspectors [45]. On October 1, 2010, the IAEA proposed a deal according to which Iran would send 3.5% enriched uranium abroad and receive 20% enriched uranium from potential suppliers in return, namely France and the United States, who Tehran accused of stalling negotiations from the start [46]. Tehran was offered a deal at a time when its supplies of 20% enriched uranium were nearly depleted, however Iranian lawmakers rejected the deal after technical studies showed that it would only take two to three months for any country to further enrich the nuclear stockpile and turn it into metal nuclear plates for the Tehran Research Reactor, while suppliers had announced that they would not return fuel to Iran in any time less than seven months [47]. Iran has made efforts to ensure the transparency of its nuclear program by allowing IAEA probes to inspect Iranian sites such as the Parchin military complex where the agency has reported suspicious activities in the past [48]. The IAEAs recent discovery of traces of uranium enriched up to 27% at Irans Fordo enrichment plant sparked controversy, although the enrichment figure is still substantially below the 90% level needed to make the fissile core required in nuclear arms; officials conceded that the likely explanation for the increased level of enrichment was attributed to centrifuges initially over-enriching at the start as technicians adjusted their output [49]. It should be noted that former chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Hans Blix has challenged the IAEAs own reports on Irans nuclear activities, accusing the agency of relying on unverified intelligence from the US and Israel [50]; the IAEAs most recent report cited Tehrans progress toward enrichment technology with complete cooperation with the agency and confirms the non-weaponized status of Iranian nuclear activities [51]. Clinton Bastin, former director of US nuclear weapons production programs, has sent an open letter to President Obama regarding the status of Irans capacity to produce nuclear weapons [52]. Bastin reiterates, The ultimate product of Irans gas centrifuge facilities would be highly enriched uranium hexafluoride, a gas that cannot be used to make a weapon. Converting the gas to metal, fabricating components and assembling them with high explosives using dangerous and difficult technology that has never been used in Iran would take many years after a diversion of three tons of low enriched uranium gas from fully safeguarded inventories. The resulting weapon, if intended for delivery by missile, would have a yield equivalent to that of a kiloton of conventional high explosives [53]. The US-based Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) has recently released claims that Irans total production of enriched uranium over the past five years would be enough for at least five nuclear weapons stating, This total amount of 3.5 percent low enriched uranium hexafluoride, if further enriched to weapon grade, is enough to make over five nuclear weapons. [54] Bastins assessment of Irans nuclear program further emphasizes the impracticality of weaponizing the hexafluoride product of Tehrans gas-centrifuges, as the resulting deterrent would yield the equivalent explosive capacity equal to a kiloton of conventional explosives, producing a highly inefficient nuclear weapon. If Iran chose to produce nuclear weapons in this way, it would take several years to reach the 90% enrichment levels needed for a nuclear deterrent; Iran has complied with the IAEA and the United Nations on this issue and there is no substantial evidence indicating that Tehran has any intention of enriching uranium to 90% for the purpose of creating nuclear weapons. On March 23rd, 2012, Reuters released a special report entitled, Intel shows Iran nuclear threat not imminent, concluding that the United States, its European allies and even Israel agree that Tehran does not have a bomb, it has not decided to build one, and it is years away from having a deliverable nuclear warhead [55]. As the West continually implements an unyielding regime of sanctions against Iran when they themselves acknowledge the civilian nature of the Iranian nuclear program, the overwhelming motive behind their actions to pressure Iran into full-scale war on an unprecedented scale is self-evident. The United States has produced more than 70,000 nuclear weapons between 1951 and 1998 [56], while Israel possess a nuclear weapons stockpile ranging from 75 to 400 warheads [57]. While the hazardous ramifications of Irans nuclear development pervade public consciousness, the fact that US legal doctrine has worked to further blur the line between conventional and nuclear warfare remains rarely acknowledged. The March 2005 Doctrine for Joint Nuclear Operations released by the Joint Chiefs of Staff envisages contingency plans for an offensive first strike use of nuclear weapons against both Iran and North Korea, providing the legal mandate to carry out pre-emptive nuclear war, both in terms of military planning as well as defense procurement and production [58] The 2002 adoption of the Pentagons 2001 Nuclear Posture Review by the US Congress marked the cease of prohibition on low yield nuclear weapons and provided funding allocations to pursue the development of tactical nuclear weapons, such as bunker buster (earth penetrator) mini-nukes [59]. The revised Doctrine for Joint Nuclear Operations (March 2005) envisaged five scenarios where the use of nuclear weapons might be requested, namely, to attack adversary installations including weapons of mass destruction, deep, hardened bunkers containing chemical or biological weapons, or the command and control infrastructure required for the adversary to execute a WMD attack against the United States or its friends and allies and to counter potentially overwhelming adversary conventional forces. The doctrine further cites, Responsible security planning requires preparation for threats that are possible, though perhaps unlikely today. The lessons of military history remain clear: unpredictable, irrational conflicts occur. Military forces must prepare to counter weapons and capabilities that exist in the near term even if no immediate likely scenarios for war are at hand. To maximize deterrence of WMD use, it is essential US forces prepare to use nuclear weapons effectively and that US forces are determined to employ nuclear weapons if necessary to prevent or retaliate against WMD use [60]. The possibility of nuclear strikes against Iran pose staggeringly frightening implications for the human family, as the very nations crying foul about the danger of nuclear weapons have prepared the legal infrastructure to use them against others, preemptively. While trust towards the Iranian regime remains questionable among segments of the Iranian population and the international community, Tehran has complied with the IAEA and no evidence exists to implicate Iran with constructing a nuclear weapon. While the fiery rhetoric of Iranian and Israeli officials remains entirely counterproductive, Tel Aviv has shown the least initiative to constructively partake in diplomacy with Iran, as top Israeli officials refuse to even meet with US envoy to the P5+1, Wendy Sherman, who reportedly was sent to Tel Aviv to reaffirm our unshakable commitment to Israels security [61]. As Israel aggressively employs an apartheid policy domestically, nuclear-armed Tel Aviv boasts its right to strike Iran without consent from any other nation [62]. As our species approaches the increasingly dangerous crossroads of the 21st Century, nations such as Germany, Russia, India and China must utilize their collective influence and technology to mediate this impending security crisis in the Middle East. Although Iran has asserted its right to develop peaceful nuclear technology as a signatory to the nuclear non-Proliferation Treaty, its uranium-based fuel has wrought negative and inaccurate accusations regarding Tehrans intentions to weaponize. To ensure the further deflection of erroneous accusations, Iran can truly make an example of itself by phasing out uranium-based nuclear technology and shifting to a liquid fuel based on molten-fluoride salts used in Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor (LFTR) nuclear technology powered by thorium, an obscure, mildly radioactive metal produced as a waste product from the mining of rare earth minerals. Thorium is plentiful, easily accessible and energy dense, a metric ton produces as much energy as 200 tons of uranium, or 3,500,000 ton of coal [63]. Thorium-based reactors consume their own hazardous waste and would serve Irans internal needs far more effectively than its current technology. As a nuclear fuel, thorium is both cleaner and safer than uranium and produces benign alpha radiation, unable to even penetrate skin [64]. The governments of China [65] and India [66] have expressed great interest in further developing thorium molten-salt reactor technology. Iran holds 9% of the worlds oil reserves and 17% of its natural gas reserves; the abundant supply of fossil fuel resources has indirectly discouraged the pursuit of alternative renewable energy sources [67]. Iran has enormous potential as a producer of geothermal energy, particularly in the provinces of Azerbaijan and Tehran [68]. There is no shortage of solutions to the current problems faced by the international community in its efforts to oversee peaceful energy technology in Iran. China, Germany and India could share their growing technical expertise with Iran to develop energy solutions that can never be used as a pretext for external military strikes. No credible basis exists to warrant the implementation of economic sanctions against Iran, which are ostensibly in place to coax social unrest and collapse the Iranian economy. For all the belligerence exuded by the current Iranian regime, the unwavering aggressive it receives from outside forces does nothing to offer the people of Iran any tangible solutions to better themselves and their standard of living. Although the further application of sanctions will inevitably have damaging effects on Tehran, inflated oil price fluctuations have the potential to fracture the fledging austerity-states of the European Union. The failure of emerging markets to adhere to full embargoes on Iran once they come into effect would send a strong message to the architects of such disastrous policy. As nations such as China and Russia acknowledge the imbalanced nature of power in the Security Council and the aggressive stance of the United States and Israel, these nations can best utilize their power by offering technological and diplomatic solutions to avert the detrimental social, economic and spiritual consequences of war.

1	Abandoning his campaigns previous strategies for winning over undecided voters in advance of Novembers presidential election, Republican nominee Mitt Romney is just now telling people he grew up desperately poor in Memphis, sources confirmed Sunday. Addressing a rally in Colorado, Romney spoke a great deal about his humble birth on a farm on the outskirts of Memphis; about wheat farming; and about his parents, Rufus and Maybelle Romney, and their struggle to provide for six hungry children as they toiled away at low-paying, menial jobs. As you all know, I didnt grow up with much in the way of wealth, Romney said of his upbringing in an impoverished neighborhood in North Memphis. Back then, we didnt live in much more than a shack on the wrong side of the train tracks, and Mama and Daddy had three jobs apiece to keep us all fed. It fell on me of course to take care of the young ones, of which a few, God bless, are no longer with us. Ann and I, we know what its like to grow up with nothing, to wonder where your next meal is coming from, to have to choose between putting food on the table or coal in the fireplace, continued Romney, speaking of what he called his wifes rough childhood in Mobile, AL, where she was raised by a single mother. Brother, we know that pang of hunger and hopelessness all too well. Speaking for the greater part of an hour, Romney said he was particularly shaped by his father Rufus Romney, a strapping young man with tattered shoes like Swiss cheese who left early each day to work in the wheat fields outside Memphis. Returning at night with a tired look in his eyes, Romney said his father would gather his children around the table to share a can of tomato soup and dream of one day living in a big house on a hill, a dream Romney said later inspired him to pursue a career in business. At the same time, the former Massachusetts governor claimed his mother, Maybelle, would go off every morning in her crisp white uniform to work for the wealthy families over in Chickasaw Gardens. After Mama wiped the sleep from our eyes and smoothed our hair, she would go off to the big mansion, bring home scraps, said Romney, pausing as his voice filled with emotion. Every day it was something newa big yellow potato, sweet saltwater taffy, a creamy stick of butter. Sometimes Ms. Hartley would send home a bag of groceries too, and boy, that day never came too soon. The founder and former CEO of Bain Capital said that while times were tough, the children were often blessed with unexpected gifts from considerate neighbors, like small wooden toys or ruby red apples. But even when the day was not so bright, Romney said proudly, they were always grateful for what they had. Drugs took my brother Jimmy way too soon. Vietnam took Tommy. But even after Daddy left, we never complained, Romney told the crowd. In our hardscrabble Memphis neighborhood, thats just what life was. For us, it was the little things that mattered: sitting on the porch, Grandpappy playing his fiddle, Mama making buckwheat cakes in the kitchen. Simple as it was, it was all we knew, and all we needed. Romney then produced a harmonica from his hip pocket and played a stirring, lonesome melody. 
3	Court Scolds Maryland Cops for Stingray Use, Issues Landmark Decision on SurveillanceBy Lily Dane The Maryland Court of Special Appeals issued the opinion in a ruling that rebuked Baltimore Police for failing to disclose that they had used a device called a cell site simulator, often referred to as a stingray, to locate an attempted murder suspect, TheBaltimore Sun reports. In court testimony last April, a Baltimore detective revealed that the Baltimore Police Department had used Stingrays more than 4,300 times since 2007, repeatedly failing to notify courts of their use in criminal cases. The court rejected the state of Marylandsargument that anyone turning on a phone was voluntarily sharing their whereabouts with the police. And the 73-page opinion also harshly scolded Baltimore police for trying to conceal their use of Stingrays from the court. The panel of judges wrote: We conclude that people have a reasonable expectation that their cell phones will not be used as real-time tracking devices by law enforcement, and recognizing that the Fourth Amendment protects people and not simply areas that people have an objectively reasonable expectation of privacy in real-time cell phone location information. Stingrays are surveillance devices that act as a fake cell phone tower. They essentially allow the government to electronically search large areas for a particular cell phones signal gatheringdata on potentially thousands of innocent people along the way. As if this isnt invasive enough, police have attempted to use them while avoiding many of the traditional limitations set forth in the Constitution, like individualized warrants. Experts say that the impact of the appellate courts ruling will be far-reaching, since it is the first court of its kind in the country to rule on whether police must disclose their intent to a judge obtain a warrant to use devices like Stingrays. Dan Kobrin, an attorney with the public defenders office who argued the case before the court, said the impact is enormous and will hopefully curb abuse of this device and bring it out into the sunlight. Nathan Freed Wessler, a staff attorney who specializes in technology and privacy with the American Civil Liberties Union, said of the decision: The courts opinion is a resounding defense of Fourth Amendment rights in the digital age. The courts withering rebuke of secret and warrantless use of invasive cell phone tracking technology shows why it is so important for these kinds of privacy invasions to be subjected to judicial review. Other courts will be able to look to this opinion as they address rampant use of cell site simulators by police departments across the country. In 2014,awareness of the use of stingray technology grew when defense attorneys in Baltimore began to suspect and challenge the use of the device. In one case, a detective took the stand and refused to discuss the technology, and was nearly held in contempt by a judge. Last April, The Baltimore Sunpublished a non-disclosure agreement that the Baltimore Police Department signed in 2011 with the FBI and Harris Corporation, a leading manufacturer of Stingrays,in which local authorities agreed never to disclose use of a stingray device. The agreement required the department to conceal its use of Stingrays during pre-trial matters, in search warrants and related affidavits, in discovery, in response to court ordered disclosure or in testimony in any phase of civil or criminal trial, without the prior written approval of the FBI. Police departments across the country have been signing similaragreements, and prosecutors have even dropped criminal cases to avoid facing questions about Stingrays, The Intercept reports. In 2014, Harris Corporationwent so far as to petition the Federal Communications Commission to block a FOIA request for user manuals for some of the companys products. While the Maryland courts decision is a positive one that is a step in the right direction, Stingray devices are hardly the only surveillance method cops use to track us. In December, The Intercept published The Secret Surveillance Catalogue, a secret, internal U.S. government catalogue of dozens of cellphone surveillance devices used by the military and by intelligence agencies. The document, thick with previously undisclosed information, also offers rareinsight into the spying capabilities of federal law enforcement and local police inside the United States. Police departments also use another form of surveillance technology that hasnt received much publicity yet: automatic license plate readers. (I didnt know this existed until I was pulled over by a Maryland state trooper for driving on a suspended registration. My offense? Failing to get a car emissions test. Id moved to the state a year prior and had no idea I even needed such a thing.) Automatic license plate readers aremounted on police cars or on objects like road signs and bridges. They use small high-speed cameras to photograph thousands of plates per minute. The information captured by the readers including the license plate number, and the date, time, and location of every scan is collected and sometimes pooled into regional sharing systems. As a result, enormous databases of innocent motorists location information are growing rapidly. This information is often retained for years or even indefinitely, with few or no restrictions to protect privacy rights. Law enforcement agencies claim that surveillance devices help them keep us safe, but the ACLU says the gadgets are more commonly used to solve simple crimes. They also claim that the devices are intended to prevent terrorist attacks (in fact, many departments have bought them under the guise of that purpose), but to date, there hasnt been a single documented instance of that actually happening. No, the goal is control. It always has been, and it always will be. Bathtub falls and police officers kill more Americans than terrorism, yet weve been asked to sacrifice our most sacred rights for fear of falling victim to it.

3	National Economic Suicide: The U.S. Trade Deficit With China Just Hit A New Record HighMichael Snyder No, the truth is that this is happening because our economy is broken. Every month, we consume far more wealth than we produce. Because the outflow of money is far greater than the inflow, we have to go to major exporting nations and beg them to lend our dollars back to us so that we can pay our bills. Meanwhile, the quality of the jobs in this country continues to go down and our formerly great manufacturing cities are rotting and decaying. We are committing national economic suicide, and most Americans dont seem to care. Barack Obama is constantly hyping a manufacturing resurgence in America, but the numbers dont lie. In September, our manufactured goods trade deficit with the rest of the world soared to a new all-time record high of 69.16 billion dollars. For the year, we are nearly 12 percent ahead of last years record pace. When we buy far more things than we sell, we get poorer as a nation. How do you think that we ever got into a position of owing China more than a trillion dollars? We just kept buying far more from them than they bought from us, and their money just kept piling up. Now it has gotten to the point where our politicians literally beg them to lend our money back to us. They are the head and we are the tail. And we did this to ourselves. Once upon a time, the United States was the greatest manufacturing powerhouse that the world had ever seen. But now China manufactures more stuff than us and China also accounts for more total global trade (imports plus exports) than us. This should never have happened. Several decades ago, the Chinese economy was a complete joke. But decades of incredibly foolish decisions by our politicians have resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of manufacturing facilities, millions of good paying jobs and the destruction of vast stretches of our economic infrastructure. During the same time frame, gleaming new manufacturing facilities have gone up all over China. China is literally wiping the floor with us on the global economic stage and most Americans dont even understand what is happening. Here is more on the trade deficit numbers that were just released fromthe RealityChek Blog The China goods deficit of $35.56 billion blew past the old mark of $30.86 billion, set in July, by 15.23 percent. The new deficit also represented a 17.77 percent increase over the August level of $30.20 billion. U.S. goods exports to the still strongly growing Chinese economy fell on month in September from $9.63 billion to $9.33 billion (3.12 percent). U.S. merchandise imports from China jumped by 12.70 percent over August levels, from $39.83 billion to $44.89 billion itself an all-time high. The U.S. goods deficit with China this year is now so far running 5.62 percent ahead of 2014s record pace. The longstanding U.S. manufacturing trade shortfall shot up from $59.10 billion in August to $69.16 billion in September. This 17.02 percent jump resulted in a beat of the old record of $67.33 billion, also set in July, by 2.72 percent. And it isnt just cheap plastic trinkets that China is selling to us. In fact, their number one export to us is computer equipment. Meanwhile, one of our main exports to them is scrap and trash. For much more on how China is absolutely dominating us, please see my previous article entitled Not Just The Largest Economy Here Are 26 Other Ways China Has Surpassed America. Sadly, there are a couple of factors that will probably make our trade deficit with the rest of the world even worse in the months ahead. Number one, the currency war that I wrote about earlier this week will probably push the U.S. dollar even higher against the yen and the euro. You might think that a rising dollar sounds good, but the truth is that it will make our exports less competitive in the global marketplace. Nations such as Japan devalue their currencies so that they can sell more stuff to us. But that hurts our own domestic industries. And when our own domestic industries suffer, that means less jobs for American workers. Secondly, the collapse in the price of oil could have very serious implications for the shale oil industry. In recent years, the shale oil revolution has caused local economic booms in states such as Texas and North Dakota. But shale oil tends to be quite expensive to extract. As I write this, the price of U.S. oil has fallen to about 77 dollars a barrel. If it stays at that level or keeps going down, shale oil production in the United States will slow down dramatically. In other words, a lot of these shale oil boom towns could go bust very rapidly. If that happens, the amount of oil that we import will rise substantially and that will add to our overall trade deficit. But of course the biggest factor fueling our trade deficit is that the vast majority of Americans simply do not care that we are committing national economic suicide. When we buy products made in America, we support American businesses and American workers. When we buy products made overseas, we hurt American businesses, we kill American jobs and we make ourselves poorer as a nation. Of course there is nothing wrong with buying a foreign-made product once in a while. But this holiday season, most people will fill their shopping carts to the brim with foreign-made goods without even thinking twice about it. The next time that you go into a huge retail establishment such as Wal-Mart, start picking up products and look to see where they were made. I think that you will be shocked at how few of them are actually made inside the United States. When are Americans going to get sick and tired of making China wealthier at our expense? We are willing participants in the destruction of the U.S. economy, and yet only a small minority of people seem to care. What is it going to take for people to finally wake up?

1	According to a trend analysis conducted by leading sociologists, most Americans, rather than eating a series of meals with breaks in between, are now eating one continuous, uninterrupted meal throughout the day. What were seeing is that for the majority of citizens, the process of eating now begins the instant they awake in the morning and then continues ceaselessly through the entire day until the instant they go to sleep, sociologist Donald Sims told reporters Monday, noting that at no point during their waking hours are Americans not in some stage of consuming a food product. In other words, a meal will not end after a food item, or plate of food items, has been eaten, but will instead continue uninterrupted for the next 16 hours or so. Experts said a conventional American meal now starts around 6 or 7 a.m. and consists of several dozen eggs per eater, along with 2 to 3 pounds of bacon and/or sausage and a 5-pound bag of potatoes, all washed down with 12 to 20 cups of coffee. It then transitions around noon into the diners preferred varieties of sandwiches, soups, stews, cooked meats, macaroni and potato salads, chips, and french fries, as well as several 2-liter bottles of soda or, on weekends, a 24-pack of beer. By evening, sociologists confirmed, this continuous stretch of consumption, now known simply as Meal, is commonly eaten at or delivered by a restaurant, and ingested from early evening until bedtime, which today is defined as the hour at which the food runs out. Prominent sociologists say not a single activity performed by Americans is not also accompanied by eating. In the past, most Americans would break down their eating into distinct meals, delineated as breakfast, lunch, and dinner, said Sims, referring to the now antiquated morning, afternoon, and evening feeding times. That has of course been replaced by Meal. The advantage of this single feeding period is that it allows a person to simply continue eating no matter what time of day it is, without having to worry about stopping at any point, or for any reason. The trend is believed to have started in the American Midwest, before gradually spreading over the past decade to all regions of the country and finally becoming national orthodoxy, according to the sociologists 400-page, marinara-stained report. The trend analysis indicates that more conservative U.S. eaters will sometimes take a break of up to 30 minutes during Meal. Most commonly, that interval is devoted to acquiring more food, any cooking that may be necessary, and watching food-based television programming. Bathroom breaks, researchers noted, have not constituted a pause in Mealtime since the invention of the Rubbermaid Bathroom Snackn Barrel, now standard in most American homes. Asked if common human activities such as bathing, housecleaning, and sexual intercourse do not also provide interruptions from eating, sociologists answered, No. Whether they are at work, with friends, commuting, or even napping, most Americans have found there is no conceivable reason to cease the act of consuming food, sociologist Mark Brand said as he ladled a bowl of corn chowder into his mouth. Americans have prioritized their lives such that no other activity is deemed even remotely as important as eating, and in fact, many people have found that they can, with some adequacy, perform a variety of different tasks while simultaneously consuming food. Responding to the trend, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has revised its nutritional recommendations into a succinct set of guidelines built around the concept of Meal. The department recommends a well-balanced Meal consisting of many different kinds of food, eaten both continuously and as quickly as possible. It is recommended that Americans not leave the room for dessert, and that they then consume dessert anyway. In addition, the USDA has strongly cautioned that Mealtime conversation be avoided, as it can negatively impact ones ability to eat food. When reached for comment on this trend, Dayton, OH construction worker Frank Burnley offered his thoughts. Its [unintelligible], Burnley said. I eat [unintelligible]. 
3	White Helmets Show Solidarity With al-Qaeda - Hold Citizens Hostage In Damascus With No WaterBy Brandon Turbeville Shortly after the liberation of Aleppo, al-Qaeda fighters in the Barada Valley outside Damascus dumped diesel fuel into the water supply to the city on December 22. Obviously, this made the water supply impossible to consume and, on December 23, the Syrian military launched a campaign to retake the area and to restore the citys water supply. According to the Moon of Alabama website, photos were even posted online showing the water treatment plant rigged with explosives but those photos were, according to MOA, removed from the Internet. Despite hostilities, the Syrian government is ready to send teams to restore water to Damascus, the lack of which only punishes civilians and holds a vast number of people hostage under the possibility of thirst. Terrorists, however, are denying access to the site and, instead, are offering to allow teams access the facilities on the condition that the Syrian military and Hezbollah end their military siege of the city. In effect, the terrorists are holding the people of Damascus hostage for military gain. That terrorists would hold civilians hostage is not surprising. However, the White Helmets, who typically attempt to stay behind the scenes (although they have been exposed for doing much more than mere behind-the-scenes activity), have openly released a statement of solidarity with al-Qaeda in Barada and Damascus. Tweets released by civil groups and activists demanding an end to Syrian military operations around Damascus in exchange for drinking water to civilians bears a number of signatures from organizations, one of them being the White Helmets. As Moon Of Alabama wrote, The organizations who make an offer to lift the water blockade of Damascus obviously think they have the power to do so. They then must also be held responsible for keeping the blockade up. They must also have intimate relations with the al-Qaeda fighters who currently occupy the damaged water facilities. The U.S. and UK government created and paid White Helmets are impartially, neutrally and for all Syrians blocking the water supply to 5 million Syrians in Damascus. U.S. military and CIA officers run the operations rooms in Jordan and Turkey that direct the insurgency. This shut down is part of a wider, seemingly coordinated strategy to deprive all government held areas of utility supplies. Two days ago the Islamic State shut down a major water intake for Aleppo from the Euphrates. High voltage electricity masts of lines feeding Damascus have been destroyed and repair teams, unlike before, denied access. Gas supplies to parts of Damascus are also cut. Even after 14 days of water crisis in Damascus the western media are not reporting about the al-Qaeda blockade of water for 5 million Syrians. We can be sure that not a word will be written by them about this illegal hostages taking of millions of civilians in Damascus by their favorite propaganda organization White Helmets. The White Helmets are nothing more than a terrorist support group, a fact known to many within the alternative media for quite some time. However, this recent stunt should remove all doubt as to where the fake humanitarian organizations loyalties lie. If there was any doubt before, I suggest reading my previous articles on the group as well as Vanessa Beeleys excellent work on the same topic.

I have to say that Im surprised that nobody is putting two and two together regarding the White Helmets. Consider this: they have been and ARE actual al Nusra members ALL of them. Western MSM proffers the line that they are some kind of independent group with special training (and ever-pristine new uniforms, helmets and ambulances) whose full-time job is to run around and save people. Nobody is able to verify this or find a full-time or part-time White Helmet anywhere. Vanessa Beeley is not the first real journalist to report that nobody in Syria can say where any are or how to get in touch with them. Thats because they are actual al Nusra head-choppers that occasionally put on the uniforms and film video of themselves rescuing someone. The PR angle is (or at least was) not the primary motivation for creating the White Helmets. The White Helmet organization was created by western intel agencies to funnel the U.K. and U.S. millions allocated non-lethal aid directly to rebels and avoid having it diverted to other legitimate Syrian aid organizations, like the Syrian Arab Red Crescent or the (real) Syrian Civil Defense. Most of that aid is medical supplies and radios, which of course al Nusra uses for their own soldiers. The ambulances (never seen by any real Syrians) are only for show as well as the uniforms and helmets. Training for White Helmets is standard combat medic training, not rescue. They are the medics for al Nusra. When you heard about Russia bombing dozens of unmarked White Helmet aid stations in East Aleppo, it was kind of true. Every al Nusra command post IS and aid station with medical supplies only for head-choppers, though. All the radios, rechargers, computers, satellite phones and other non-lethal aid electronic gear is in those aid stations. Russia has good enough intelligence to know where legitimate civilian medical aid stations are and does not bomb them. They also know which ones are al Nusra command posts/aid stations with a handy box of white helmets, uniforms and a video camera handy. They bomb those and the White Helmets squealed on cue that they were being targeted. Of course they were, because their other full-time job is being an al Nusra head-chopper. Journalists like Vanessa Beeley have to have a pretty good idea that this is whats happening, but (to her credit) she cant report on something nobody will talk about and she cant see for herself. If you think about White Helmets actually being al Nusra militants, you can see how difficult it would be to expose them. Even civilians in rebel-held areas probably dont make the connection because they never see White Helmets and couldnt say whether they are the local al Nusra thugs (nor would they want to). And all our heads of government and media all go along with the fake outfit just like there fake news. 
1	The Raiders organization welcomed sixth-round draft choice Travis Goethel Wednesday and said the Arizona State linebacker would more than likely be asked to start as a Bay-area Realtor by the beginning of next season. 'We believe that the intelligence, instinct, and leadership Travis displayed on the college gridiron will be of immense help to him as he assists his clients in finding quality housing in the greater Oakland region,' a press release from the Raiders read in part. 'While he was a standout college linebacker, we believe he will adjust quickly to his new position once he realizes his future is in real estate.' Goethel claimed to be satisfied with the team's decision, saying it was far better than being asked to switch to car dealer, casino greeter, or long snapper. 
3	Glyphosate and Roundups Implications on Modern DiseasesAn interview with Stephanie Seneff, PhD:Co-author of Glyphosates Suppression of Cytochrome P450 Enzymes and Amino Acid Biosynthesis by the Gut Microbiome: Pathways to Modern Diseases. In April 2013, independent scientist Anthony Samsel and MIT scientist Stephanie Seneff published their mega studies analysis of glyphosate titled Glyphosates Suppression of Cytochrome P450 Enzymes and Amino Acid Biosynthesis by the Gut Microbiome: Pathways to Modern Diseases in the online journal, Entropy. With 286 peer-reviewed papers analyzed, Samsel and Seneff documented that glyphosateand the herbicide Roundup, in particularhas deleterious impact on disease causality in laboratory and farm animals, and humans. This is an interview with co-author Stephanie Seneff, of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass. Before we get into details, will you please tell us how glyphosate and Roundup came into being? Who owns it and how profitable a commodity is it for that corporation? Monsanto is the inventor of glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup. It was brought to market first in the U.S. in the mid 1970s, and it came out from under patent in 2000, making it far more attractive as an herbicide due to the reduced cost. Didnt Monsanto produce saccharine (1901?), DDT (1944), Agent Orange for the Vietnam War (1960s-1970s), Posilacbovine somatotropin (Bst) for dairy cows (1994), Roundup Ready soybeans (1996), Roundup Ready Cotton and Roundup Ready Canola (1997), Roundup Ready Corn (1998), and receive USDA authorization for planting Genuity Roundup Ready Alfalfa and Genuity Roundup Ready Sugarbeets in 2011? Yes. Monsanto has a long record of producing toxic chemicals. Some of Monsantos chemicals have been taken off the market because of environmental issues. Which are they? Well, of course DDT comes to mind. It was banned in 1972 in the US, due in part to the tireless campaigns of Rachel Carson, author of Silent Spring. Bovine growth hormone has not been taken off the market yet, but there is a great deal of public awareness of its problems, and many dairies have stopped using it to boost milk supplies from the cows, recognizing its adverse health effects for the cows as well as potential risk to the consumer. What do you think is the likelihood of that happening with glyphosate, since its apparent long-range health impacts are just becoming recognized, and they definitely are not favorable? It would be so wonderful if glyphosate were to be banned. I can dream that it might happen some day. Its absolutely clear to me that it should be banned, but public opinion is very far away from that point of view. Monsanto has worked very hard to promote the idea that glyphosate is nearly harmless to humans. So, its going to take a serious amount of reeducation, or some catastrophe like half the children born diagnosed on the autism spectrum, to turn that around. Its been on the market since 1975, and was first introduced into the US market. The US market today represents 25% of the total sales worldwide. In our paper we showed how the usage has gone up substantially in step with the increased penetration of GMO crops that are Roundup Ready. In 2001 an estimated total of 85 to 90 million pounds of it were used in the US alone, and this number more than doubled by 2007. I expect it may have doubled again since then, but we didnt find hard numbers on that. Glyphosate/Roundup is an organophosphate. Can you please explain what the problems are with that type of herbicide? Also, there is another organophosphate with an almost similar sounding name; it is glufosinate. Did you do any research on glufosinate? Technically, glyphosate is an organophosphonate, not quite the same as an organophosphate but close. Youre right that glyphosate and glufosinate are cousins with similar molecular structures and probably similar effects. We havent specifically studied glufosinate, but Id imagine its just as damaging as glyphosate. Glyphosate disrupts the shikimate pathway, which plants use to produce a set of essential aromatic amino acids. All microbes also have this pathway, and its essential for their well-being. So glyphosate would be expected to disrupt gut bacteria, and it has been shown to be the case in research studies on cows and chickens. What was the motivation to perform such an exhaustive study on glyphosate? I have been studying autism for many years, trying to understand the underlying physiological dysfunction that causes it and trying to identify potential environmental factors that could be causative. Its clear to me that autism has environmental causes, because genetic factors would not increase at such an alarming rate. The rate of autism in the US was one in 10,000 in 1970. Today it is one in fifty. And I anticipate that it will get much higher in the next ten years if we stay the course. I cant even begin to think about how that will impact our society. Last September, I had the privilege to hear Prof. Don Huber, a retired professor from Purdue University who is an expert on plant physiology, give a two-hour lecture on glyphosate and Roundup, and I nearly fell out of my chair, because it became clear to me that the factors I was seeing in association with autism could all be explained by the known physiological effects of glyphosate. I was lucky to hook up with Anthony Samsel, who is an expert on environmental toxins, and he taught me much more about glyphosate. We were able to synthesize a plausible story for how glyphosate exposure in both the mom and the child could lead to autism. But, in addition, we realized that it could also explain a host of other problems that are reaching epidemic proportions in this country, such as obesity, depression, gastrointestinal distress, and Alzheimers disease. In your paper you say that the European Union is being asked by industry to approve higher levels of glyphosate in food crops. Why such a proposal and can you discuss that a little? Id imagine that its simply that food was coming in from the US that was exceeding the limits that had been set. I think the limits are generally set somewhat arbitrarily based on what is measured in the food. Since most people think that glyphosate is nontoxic to humans, there does not seem to be too much concern raised when limits are jacked up by a factor of ten or even one hundred! Does that have anything to do with the supposed notion that glyphosate has a minimal toxicity effect in humans, which was based upon Monsantos safety/toxicity studies done for only 3 months on laboratory animals? Thats right. Didnt your research find that Professor Seralinis two-year study contradicted Monsantos 3-month studies? Will you please elaborate on that and the apparent implications? Yes. Seralinis research showed that glyphosate has devastating effects on the health of rats over the long term. Mammary tumors, kidney failure, liver cancer, etc. Glyphosate is insidious because its not immediately obvious that it has caused a problem. It slowly depletes certain vital nutrients until eventually you can become very sick. Can you explain why you contend that glyphosate is an environmental toxin that may be responsible for dysbiosis (what is that?) and sulfate depletion (what is that and its significance)? By examining the results of studies on microbes, plants and animals, one can extrapolate to what would likely happen to humans, and this leads to the conclusion that major biological systems would become disrupted (dysbiosis). Gut dysbiosis refers to an imbalance in gut bacteria such that there are too few beneficial bacteria and too many pathogenic forms. Our studies led us to predict that glyphosate would disrupt both sulfate transport (through competitive inhibition) and sulfate synthesis (by disrupting the enzyme responsible for sulfate synthesis). Sulfate plays a huge role (not sufficiently well acknowledged) in all the cells in the body for maintaining a healthy interface with the local environment and for cell-cell communication. And its also essential in neurotransmission. What led you to say that glyphosate may be the most significant environmental toxin contributing to autism? That requires a long answer! So many things line up between glyphosate and autism that I hardly know where to begin! Prior to even considering glyphosate, I had identified two key pathologies that co-occur on a regular basis with autism. These are disrupted gut bacteria and impaired sulfur metabolism. It turns out that glyphosate easily explains both of these, as we described in our paper. There are now three papers were aware of that show disrupted gut bacteria (overgrowth of pathogens and inflammatory gut) in chickens, cows, and pigs. The one on pigs just came out and was not available when we wrote our paper. Glyphosate has been shown to deplete methionine, an essential sulfur-containing amino acid which plays physiological roles related to both methylation and sulfate synthesis. Serotonin depletion is also associated with autism, as well as many other conditions that are prevalent today in the US, including Alzheimers, obesity, depression, suicide, and homicide (violent behavior). Plots showing autism rates in the US and Roundup usage on corn and soy crops show a remarkable correspondence. What are the key pathological biological effects of glyphosate that can explain or parallel the characteristic features of autism? As I said before, overgrowth of pathogens is an important one. This causes inflammatory gut, but also these pathogens release toxins that can get into the brain and cause neurological damage. More than this, glyphosate chelates essential minerals such as iron, zinc, copper, cobalt, molybdenum, manganese, etc. Some of these are very rare, but the body uses them in important ways, such that, when theyre depleted, major pathways get disrupted. Another really insidious effect is that it disrupts a class of enzymes called cytochrome P450 enzymes, also known as CYP enzymes. There are many different CYP enzymes in the liver that control things like cholesterol homeostasis, vitamin D activation, and, most significantly, detoxification of many different environmental toxins. For example, the liver depends on CYP enzymes to detoxify Tylenol, and an excess sensitivity to Tylenol has been implicated in autism. And CYP enzymes also detoxify pesticides (organophosphates), so these become more toxic in the presence of glyphosate. I think this might explain the bee colony die-off. Your research indicates that glyphosate contributes to or induces inflammatory bowel disease and a host of other diseases. Will you tell us about them? Also, arent bowel problems a prime health concern with autistic children? How many papers did you find regarding ASD children with bowel problems? Many people have studied the relationship between autism and inflammatory bowel disease, and it has become quite clear that theres a connection. Andrew Wakefield was among the first to recognize this connection. Hes the doctor who wrote the paper in Lancet on MMR and autism that was later retracted due to the influence of the vaccine industry. I would say that the inflammatory bowel disease introduces toxins into the brain that lead to a disruptions of normal maturation processes in the brain. The defective neural network leads to the autistic behavior patterns. I expect something similar is going on with Alzheimers disease and depression. Glyphosate is also a likely risk factor for certain cancers. I wonder a lot about breast cancer, which is very common among women in America today. Given Seralinis results on mammary tumors in rats, one has to wonder. What can you tell us about the gut microbiome of chickens that needs to be investigated further with regard to glyphosate in chicken feed? How does that impact eggs and chicken meat people eat as food? We found an article that talked about disrupted gut bacteria in chickens. Highly pathogenic strains of Salmonella and Clostridium were found to be highly resistant to glyphosate, whereas beneficial bacteria such as Enterococcus, Bacillus and Lactobacillus were found to be especially susceptible. I have no idea what this does to the meat and eggs derived from the chicken, but knowing this has convinced me to buy only organic chicken. According to your research, glyphosate disrupts the bodys ability to detoxify other environmental toxins and leads to synergistic enhancement of toxicity. Thats extremely problematic insofar as the etiology of inflammation, chronic disease patterns, and the formation of adducts which reprogram DNA. Will you please comment on that? Well, I imagine you might be referring to DNA getting bound to aluminum and then becoming resistant to clean-up by the immune cells. I have read papers theorizing that this is how the autoimmune disease ASIA could develop (Autoimmune Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants). The DNA would burst out of a cell that dies suddenly due to excess exposure to aluminum, and then, because it cant be broken down (bound to aluminum), it would be interpreted as being foreign and the body would develop an immune reaction to its own DNA. Glyphosate would interfere with the bodys ability to dispose of the aluminum, increasing the likelihood of this kind of reaction. Something most folks may not know is that glyphosates increasing toxic burden rates in humans may be impacting fertility, decreasing birth rates, and even contributing to the obesity epidemic. How can that be? Well, I mentioned before that obesity is one of the conditions associated with serotonin deficiency. The sole precursor of serotonin is an aromatic amino acid, tryptophan, whose synthesis glyphosate directly disrupts. This is well known. I think obesity is also a protective measure to allow the fat cells to sequester environmental toxins that cant be eliminated due to glyphosates disruption of both CYP enzymes and sulfur metabolism. Aromatase is a CYP enzyme that plays an important role in embryonic development, and glyphosate disrupts aromatase function. Glyphosate also likely interferes with the breakdown of retinoic acid, which could mess up the timing in embryonic development. Cholesterol sulfate plays an essential role in fertilization, and we argued in our paper that glyphosate would interfere with cholesterol sulfate synthesis through its effects on CYP enzymes. This also impacts autism. The obesity epidemic in this country began in 1975, coincident with the introduction of glyphosate into the food chain. And our slippage in infant mortality rates also began in 1975. Were now #46 behind Cuba and Guam in infant mortality, which is abysmal, considering how much we spend on health care. A major concern I have, as a retired natural nutritionist, is GM cooking oils, i.e., canola, soybean, corn, and cottonseed oils. Since chemicals naturally gravitate to and store in fats in plants, animals, and humansand oils are the fats in plant-base foodswhat chemical interactions occur when GM cooking oils are heated? Have any studies been done as to what carcinogens may be created, i.e., polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), when glyphosate residues are heated in deep fryers as in fast food restaurants? This sounds like something I need to study, because I was not aware of this. It is disturbing to think of heating glyphosate to high temperatures and what exactly that might do. I have no idea. I think its highly likely that these oils contain glyphosate, especially the GMO forms of them. My husband and I do not use any of these oils in our cooking. That leads to my asking about glyphosates adverse effects on gut microbiota. Please explain what microbiota are, how they are affected, and immune system interaction(s). It is becoming increasingly apparent that gut bacteria play many essential roles in the body. Researchers now speak of the gut microbiome an amazingly diverse set of genes representing all the different microbes, predominantly bacteria and yeast, which hang out in the gut. Its rather sobering to know that they outnumber our own cells by a factor of ten, and their collective genetic complexity is at least an order of magnitude higher than our own genetic complexity. We depend upon their well being in order to be well ourselves. When you eat glyphosate-laden foods, youre poisoning them every day, and you will pay a huge price for this in terms of not only your gut health but also your general health, because pathogens will be able to get past a leaky gut barrier and cause a systemic problem. You say that corn and soy crops have been shown to accumulate excess shikimate in response to glyphosate exposure. First of all, what is shikimate, and second, what does that do to animals and people eating such crops? Glyphosate blocks the pathway that converts shikimate into aromatic amino acids, so the shikimate piles up. It also gets diverted into phenolic compounds and ammonia. These can both be toxic to the body. Shikimate is listed as a Group 3 carcinogen, meaning that it might be carcinogenic, and it is certainly not recommended for general consumption. What I found rather startling is that glyphosate acts as a chelator of micronutrients, which means that plants then dont have quantitative and qualitative nutrient values (vitamins and minerals), in Roundup Ready crops that have glyphosate applications. So how can the U.S. FDA say that genetically modified crops are equivalent to conventional or heirloom crops? Would you please expound upon that, as I think that amounts to nutritional deficiencies similar to what happened in the early 1900s that required the introduction of enrichment, i.e., certain vitamins and minerals were added back to denatured, processed crops like wheat for bread making. Yes, I believe you are right. I do not understand how Monsanto gets by with claiming that there is no difference. A study done in Scotland by Pusztai on potatoes found striking differences between the GMO potatoes and non-GMO potatoes. A recent small study on GMO corn showed shocking levels of depletion of sulfur, calcium, magnesium and manganese, as well as a disturbing amount of formaldehyde showing up. The formaldehyde doesnt surprise me, because there are bacteria called Pseudomonas that can break down glyphosate, but they release formaldehyde as a by-product. Formaldehyde is a known neurotoxin. From my reading of your excellent paper, Ive come to the conclusion that amino acid profilesespecially methionine, an essential sulfur-containing amino acidin plant foods may be reduced thereby contributing to additional plant nutrition deficiencies. Am I correct? Please explain or elaborate on your answer. Yes, its logical that that would be the case. The plant gets depleted in amino acids and minerals by the glyphosate, and then you eat an inferior, nutrient-deficient food derived from the plant. Worse than that, you eat the glyphosate as well, and it interferes with your gut bacterias ability to supply you with essential amino acids. Its a double hit. Even greenhouse experiments demonstrated that glyphosate application to the root system decreased levels of calcium, magnesium, iron, and manganese in the seeds of plants. Thats dramatic and catastrophic, Id say. So, humans then will have less and less nutritional food values when eating GM crops. That on top of all the problems we have now with all the processed and junk foods masquerading as healthy eating according to those who mass produce them. Yes. The processed foods are basically pseudo-foods put together from chemicals. Its a ridiculous way to make food. I dont eat anything that has more than five ingredients. And if you dont recognize the things on the ingredient list, chances are you dont want to eat it. Are you aware that the Kosher Certification Program, Natural Food Certifiers has banned all GMO ingredients? NFC Director Rabbi Reuven Flamer says, Recent studies show that GMOs may cause various kinds of health problems from digestive disturbances to food allergies, and that GMOs require more herbicides, which is really the opposite reason why GMOs were touted to be so environmentally helpful in the first place. So, you see consumers are starting to take notice of the facts about GMOs and certain industries are responding to consumer concerns. I was not aware of that, but Im really happy to hear it. Ben and Jerrys Ice Cream also has made a commitment to no GMOs, and Whole Foods has promised to label all GMOs in their foods. These are great steps. Im not a political person, but I have become politically involved in trying to get my state, Massachusetts to pass a GMO labeling bill. It amazes me how hard it is to get any traction on what seems to me like a very simple issue. May 25, 2013 it is estimated that two million people around the globe participated in the March Against Monsanto. Whole Foods Natural Grocery Store chain will require mandatory GMO labeling on all food products by 2018. What does that tell you? Maybe were reaching the tipping point that Jeffrey Smith [Institute for Responsible Technology http://www.responsibletechnology.org/] likes to talk about? Heres an off-the-wall question, but someone has to ask it, I think. Since Monsanto claims ownership or royalties by farmers whose crops have been GMO-pollinated by wind or insects, thereby legally enforcing their patent rights, do people who eat genetically modified foods belong to Monsanto? Will Monsanto have any legal rights to them or their children, especially since Monsanto is so predatory and patent conscious? Furthermore, how can living organisms, which seeds and food are, be patented? Is there something sinister going on that people who eat GMO food arent recognizing? I am astonished at the kind of power Monsanto has been able to wield. Im sure youve heard about the recent contamination of wheat fields with GMO wheat that cut loose somehow from Monsantos research farms? I hope many countries refuse to buy our wheat, as it could really put pressure on the government to start to move in the other direction. Of course, Monsanto has the right, Id assume, to sue these farmers who are now unable to sell their wheat to Japan and South Korea. Monsanto can sue them for growing patented GMO wheat without having bought it from Monsanto. How absurd is this? Lastly, recently there was a study indicating that diabetes is the disease that makes people cranky and violent. Well, in your paper diabetes is one of the numerous diseases that can be attributed to glyphosates negative intervention on enzymatic pathways, especially cytochrome P450 enzymes, which impact hormones. Can all the craziness and violence we see in society today be attributable to an escalation of chemicals, especially ubiquitous glyphosate, that are biologically programming people to do crazy things? I absolutely believe this is the case. I was frustrated with all the school shootings where the focus is entirely on controlling who buys guns rather than addressing directly the issue of why do we live in a society where people are capable of committing such heinous crimes? Thank you, Dr. Seneff, for helping our readers understand more about genetically modified crops that are sprayed with glyphosate and how they apparently negatively impact our health and wellbeing, something most people may not be aware of. Thank you also for bringing to our attention the recently published article Glyphosate induces human breast cancer cells growth via estrogen receptors[1] by Thongprakaisang, S. etal, published in Food Chemical Toxicology June 8, 2013 wherein the Abstract states: And further animal studies are needed, they say. Well, Professor Gilles-Eric Seralini at the University of Caen and CRIIGEN [2] in France has been doing studies on laboratory animals given GMO feed for years now; his study results have been published; and no one seems to want to take the damning results seriously. Go figure! In closing, Id like to let readers in Hawaii know about Dr. Stephanie Seneffs Hawaiian speaking engagements about glyphosate, GMOs, and the paper she co-authored about how they impact human health. The Kokua Market Coop will be sponsoring Dr. Seneffs two speaking engagements: one in Honolulu and the other in the northern part of Oahu the evenings of July 23 and 24, 2013.

2	Kansas Overthrows... Takes Relentless Stand Against Obama Many states throughout the nation are standing up to welfare fraud, taking steps to ensure that benefits are only going to those who truly need them. The measures they are passing are controversialwith liberals everywhere insisting that we give out handouts left and right. Indiana is the latest state to add a requirement that recipients work to receive benefits. In one month alone, more than 18,000 people have lost their food stamps because they refused to follow the new set of laws set forth. The more than 48,000 people receiving benefits in Indiana were informed that they need to work at least 20 hours a week or take a training class to find a job. If recipients are unable to do so, they can also volunteer. The requirement applies only to recipients between 18 and 49. They are given three months to get the requirements set in place or lose their benefits. The 18,000 who lost their benefits blatantly refused to comply, but that doesnt stop Democrats from defending them.

'We're all into sports around here, but I would say we talk more about baseball than anything else,' said Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander, adding that he and his teammates follow baseball 'pretty closely.' 'I liked a lot of different stuff when I was younger, but since leaving college and starting a busy career, I've found I'm paying more attention to baseball than other sports.' Though many of the team's players are high-powered millionaires, sources said most decorate their lockers with simple bats, balls, and other types of baseball souvenirs, and wear baseball paraphernalia while they are working. 
3	Do Schumann Resonance Machines Really Work?By Ginny Silcox Lets talk about those Gaia songs. Lots of very smug people are spreading vast quantities of misinformation about the natural electromagnetic environment and its effect on the human body and mind. Back in the 60s, people were all excited about negative ion generators that could provide the wonderful feeling you get when you sit by a rushing waterfall. There is actually some solid science behind those effects, but keep in mind that when youre sitting by that waterfall, you are probably out in nature; far from power lines and airport radar installations. But if youre talking on your cell phone, its negative effects will overwhelm the health-giving effects of the waterfall. Negative ions actually can change the electrical potentials used by cells to keep out invaders and allow the transport of nutrients through. Of course, these effects primarily work on your lungs, but negative ion generators in the home use high voltages and the AC grid in the walls to produce those ions. So the negative effects can counteract the positive ones. Even those fascinating water mist machines use a focused high frequency sound to turn liquid water into water vapor, and the circuitry involved is exposing you to a sustained high frequency electrical signal. Thomas Valone, in his book Bioelectromagnetic Healing: A Rationale for Its Use, provides a very complete summary of the reactions of human cells to the presence of wideband electromagnetic signals. According to Valone, Much research has been done to show the profound EEG entrainment that the earths micropulsations (Schumann resonances) cause in the human body, as long as the person is isolated from stronger EMFs.[1] The book is fairly technical, but it contains a very comprehensive survey of the existing research and various devices that have been used for at least the last 100 years. During his experiments on high voltage, high frequency electricity, Tesla found that short-term exposure to the fields produced could be energizing and healing. When sensitive measuring equipment became available, scientists like Schumann became aware that the large sphere of atmosphere down to the surface of the earth resonates selectively to a composite mix of signals caused by lightning, seismic movements, ice cap changes, ocean currents, air movements, and other electrical phenomena like auroras and atomic bomb blasts. If youve ever played around with sound in a bare room, youve probably found that there is one pitch where the whole room vibrates loudlythats the resonant frequency of the room. The earths room is a sphere with inherent properties that alter the standard harmonic series, but it does resonate at a fundamental frequency of about 7.83 cycles a second (called the Schumann Resonance), with strong responses starting with a sub-harmonic at 2 Hz up to around 30 Hz (cycles per second). The question is: What sorts of signals are making the spherical cavity resound? Remember, resonance is a characteristic of a chamber it is NOT a particular type of wave, it ISNT a particular frequency, and its NOT a magic remedy for illness. The micropulsations are both electrical and magnetic, but they are NOT sound. A machine that claims to be able to create resonance can do little or nothing to change the native resonance of a room; regardless of whether were talking about sound waves or electromagnetic waves like light waves at any frequency. So what is it that could actually be produced by a Schumann Resonance machine? The composite of electrical fluctuations caused by lightning strikes, tectonic plate movements, and other natural phenomena excite the atmospheric cavity to resonate with electromagnetic pulsations that are found to be nearly simultaneous, and at about the same strength and frequency range everywhere within the chamber. The world that humans lived in before the 20th century was mainly filled with electromagnetic energy from natural sources. For most of our entire time on earth as a species, our cells have developed and thrived when exposed to this varying energy, so it might be important to understand how it differs from what were exposed to now. One of the most important things about this exposure comes from the random nature of natural electrical signals. The signals are wide band, meaning they contain a large variety of different frequencies, and they are short-term; meaning the exposure is not sustained at one frequency for any length of time. They are intermittent sometimes very strong, sometimes very weak, and they contain different pulse shapes depending on the source that created the original signal, and they always have an accompanying magnetic signal along with them. These signals are called micropulsations because theyre very small compared to the AC power fluctuations in your walls, or the output of your cellphone. If not overwhelmed by artificial sources, the natural signals are subtly exposing every living organism to the natural electrical and magnetic heartbeat of our planet. Its a matter of removing artificial interference, and thats not an easy task. Because no Schumann Resonance machine can hope to tailor the resonance of your room, it seems safe to say that the manufacturers are actually trying to replicate this beneficial signal. The output of the machine has to be a faithful reproduction of a very complex, multi-frequency, WEAK signal. To do anything else is to distort any one of a number of factors that may actually cause the output signal to become harmful. If you are looking at an alarm light on your car dashboard and somebody pulls up in front of you with their high beams blasting through the windshield, youll have trouble seeing that indicator light. The same is true for the real, though tiny, micropulsations of the natural earth signal. You cant possibly benefit from it if its being overwhelmed by powerful electrical fields in your house wiring, the fire station radio signal from the next block over, the airport radar a mile away, your cell phone sitting in your pocket, or the smart meter on the apartment next door. This brings up the subject of those active cancellation machines that supposedly detect the harmful EMFs in your space and then generate an equal but opposite field to neutralize the offending energy. To do this, a machine would have to have very sophisticated spectrum analysis programming and circuitry, and it would also require the ability to generate an equal and opposite extremely complex waveform with power exactly equal to the unwanted EMF noise and precisely 180 degrees out of phase with it. The cheapest computer-based spectrum analyzers start around $2000, and even then, their accuracy can be compromised by the quality of the sensors they use to pick up the signal. This technology is still adding electromagnetic energy to your space, and any lack of precision will have the possibility of causing an accidental alias signal that could be more harmful than the original EMFs were. Back to the Schumann Resonance machines the only possible way a little machine could generate a signal powerful enough to benefit you (IF, indeed, its capable of emulating the true earth signal), would be to first shield your Gaia room from all sources of electrical fields, including being able to turn off or shield the rooms AC circuits. Those of us who have worked in the field of electromagnetic compliance know how difficult it is to completely eliminate all unwanted signals. There are several companies selling shielding materials, shielding clothing, and the ridiculous diodes you hang around your neck that do nothing to shield or protect anything but the square inch of your neck directly under the pendant. Some of the shielding materials are really good, but you must be very careful about the seams, and if you go to the expense and trouble of creating an EMF safe space, you really should get someone to come in and survey the room for leaks. There are several questions remaining about the output of the Schumann Resonance machines. They cant produce or alter the electromagnetic resonance of the room, and their output is probably as variable as the wide array of products out there on the market. How in the world could the average person verify the machine is truly generating the composite, varying natural earth signal? Before doing anything that would add EMFs to my expensive shielded room, I would want real proof about the output signal. Any resonant chamber is sensitive to the frequencies entering it. When we speak of resonance, we generally are referring to the basic fundamental frequency that seems to self-amplify in response to the dimensions of the resonating cavity. However, that fundamental frequency is really only the beginning of the analysis, because the cavity will also respond to the harmonics of the fundamental meaning the basic Schumann resonant frequency of 7.83 Hz, also causes relatively strong responses at higher harmonics of the basic frequency. Electromagnetic energy is light, NOT sound, and though our eyes and ears cannot perceive anything beyond a very narrow frequency range, our entire bodies from the skeleton out, can pick up lower and higher vibrations. You may not think youre responding to that ambulance station radio signal down the block, but you might actually have symptoms like an upset stomach, or irritability, or depression, bad dreams, or even ringing in the ears. We are not trained to go looking for real reasons for influences on our health. We simply take a pill to make the symptoms go away. However, whatever is truly causing a set of symptoms may have long-term effects that result in really serious diseases like cancer. Some people are electromagnetically sensitive. Their bodies almost seem to develop allergies to the presence of EMFs around them, and people who intentionally develop acute perception of sound or light, like musicians and artists, seem especially vulnerable to certain EMF frequencies. I have a suspicion that psych wards might have many patients who are actually victims of EMF sensitivity. In conclusion, unless you are willing to invest in creating an EMF safe space, and are willing to truly investigate the output of a supposedly beneficial electromagnetic generator (Schumann Resonance machine), there might be a better solution to getting in touch with that tiny Gaia signal that restores us to balance and health. Sometimes, when Im hiking, I develop a powerful need to stop and just lie down. Most of my hiking places are around rocks with a high iron-content, and Im wondering if this is my body commanding me to get in touch with the real earth. No sleeping pad, just a simple prior inspection for anthills or cactus, and down I go for about 15 minutes of being glad nobody is around to see me. When I get up, Im refreshed and good to go for another couple of miles. You cant do this in very many places in the world anymore, but there are ways of grounding if you can get away from the electrical grid and shield your head and body. How about finding a waterfall in a forest, in a grotto protected by natural rock walls, disembowel the cell phone and night vision headset, light a campfire, look up at the stars, and become very, very quiet? You owe it to yourself to figure this out. Notes: [1] Valone PhD, Thomas (2015-06-29).Bioelectromagnetic Healing: A Rationale for Its Use (Kindle Locations 1652-1654). InstantPublisher.com.

Thank you for this informative article with the inexpensive but inspirational solution at the end! If we can ever get a responsible government in place, what we should do is firstly eliminate the power grid and its electromagnetic frequencies. The power grid will not be necessary if we have free energy devices in every home. If you dont know that free energy technologies currently exist, please do a little research and awaken from the New World Orders nightmare. Secondly, we need to make the frequencies generated by other EM sources more compatible with our bodies and brains.

2	Critics Want Megyn Kelly Removed From Fox After She Does THIS On Live TV On Wednesday, Fox News fans were shocked when host Megyn Kelly decided to cover the Republican National Convention wearing a bikini-like top. Viewers were quick to criticize Kelly on social media, claiming that her outfit was unprofessional and it was hard to take her seriously. On Thursday, Kelly showed up to the event in a form-fitting dress with one strap featuring a cut-out, baring part of her left shoulder. That outfit definitely covered more skin, but it wasnt exactly the choice youd expect from an anchor during a highly important event. Her choices were so questionable that some believe this was a strategic attempt to be let go from Fox. Kelly is rumored to have aspirations of being more mainstreamand the network isnt helping her in that regard. What do you think of Kellys outfit choice? Was this simply bad judgment or something more?

Kings majority owner Vivek Ranadive told ESPN.com that the move will allow fans to keep their wallets at home, thanks to what will eventually be a ticketless and cashless environment at the arena. This is a giant step forward for the young digital currency which has only five years of existence and is beginning to find its place inside the real world marketplace. The Kings announcement follows another great breakthrough for the currency as the major online retailer OverStock.com publicly stated that they are now accepting Bitcoin as payment. Just last March, the digital currency was trading for only $40 dollars. Without a doubt, Bitcoin enthusiasts are head over heels with excitement over the latest decisions by major players within the sports and retail industry to use the digital currency.

3	TPPs Intellectual Property section also boosts GMO and drug monopoliesRady Ananda On Nov. 13, WikiLeaks released the August version of a section of the TPP, the Intellectual Property chapter, which addresses not only traditional creative copyrights, but also genetic and pharmaceutical patents, as well as surgical procedures. The still-secret latest version will be negotiated in Salt Lake City, Utah from Nov. 19-24. A protest is planned for noon on Nov. 19 at the host site, the Grand America Hotel. The TPP forbids a member nation from passing any laws not consistent with the provisions of this Chapter. In the version provided by WikiLeaks, we see which nations propose or object to specific terms. None of these countries object to supplanting national laws with the TPP. Built on the 1994 TRIPS Agreement (Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights), the leaked chapter of the TPP came from the 19th Round of Negotiations at Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei, and also covers the prosecution of copyright or intellectual property infringements or violations, criminalizing such infringements and requiring imprisonment for what is now a civil matter. WikiLeaks Editor-in-Chief Julian Assange describes the terms as creating a patent prosecution highway. Thom Hartmanns read of the TPP IP chapter leads him to conclude, The provisions would stifle innovation, creativity, and information sharing, all under the guise of protecting intellectual property. While much ink has gone to the TPPs squashing of internet freedom, the IP chapter also threatens biological diversity by forcing 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. Assange characterizes the IP chapter as being all about extending the monopoly rights of companies like Monsanto. Yves Smith (Naked Capitalism) believes the TPP will not only kill the internet, but will also, literally, kill people, asserting, that statement is not an exaggeration: Even surgical procedures will now be patented, a move that will spike the cost and limit access to needed healthcare to those with the means to afford patented surgery. An earlier Naked Capitalism piece revealed that the lead negotiator from Chile abruptly resigned last May for the threat the TPP poses to national sovereignty. Rodrigo Contreras warns: Biological diversity goes directly to genetic patents, where Monsanto and other biotech companies tweak a plant that indigenous people have bred over thousands of years to its present day perfection, and then claim it as their own invention simply because they spliced a gene into it. Thats like me painting your house and calling it my own. By the way, if I happen to splash some paint on the neighbors grass, shell have to pay me for stealing my paint thats the state of judicial rulings on genetic contamination in the US. With biotech firms unable to prevent genetic contamination and the TPP fast-tracking patent approval, all food will become contaminated, and our bodily and environmental health will worsen with all the toxic chemicals requisite to GM crops. This is partly why the Chilean negotiators resignation is so important. Smith explains: Thats a pretty serious sacrifice to make, when objecting to mere trade rules. The trade generated by the 12 TPP nations, Assange says, accounts for 40% of the worlds economy. When coupled with the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), both agreements will control 60% of the global economy in ways that enhance monopoly control and impose the controversial GM-foods on member nations. The Chilean negotiator further warned that the TPP will also generate pressures from increasingly active social movements, who are not willing to grant a pass to governments that accept an outcome of the TPP negotiations that limits possibilities to increase the prosperity and well-being of our countries. One certainly hopes, anyway. My read of the IP chapter finds no mechanisms for individual citizens to assert personal sovereignty or reject any of the terms of these agreements. Its like we dont exist in the corporate mind, though 800 million people live in the TPP nations. Dave Johnson warns, if you dont have a seat at the table, you are on the table. The next round of TPP negotiations is set for Nov. 19-24 in Salt Lake City, Utah. People can join the Nov. 19 protestin Salt Lake City, as well as the global day of protest planned for December 3 against not only the TPP but also the WTO and all toxic trade agreements, as AP recently reported. Starting at about 24:50 in the video below, rapper Rene de Calle asks Assange about Wikileaks latest release: Current TPP members comprise the US, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, and Brunei (a tiny kingdom on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia). The TPP excludes China, which some believe is the raison dtre for the agreement so that the US gains economic dominance in Asia. But its much worse than that; the Trans-Pacific Partnership represents corporate domination over national and individual sovereignty, food sovereignty, creative freedom, healthcare access, and the environment, replacing laws passed by elected representatives with rules developed in secret by corporations unaccountable to the people impacted by them.

1	Reminiscing about past online promotions for goods and services as he perused the internet Wednesday, area man Walter Delray, 32, reportedly grew nostalgic for a time when the advertisements targeting him were not quite so sad. Back in the day, I used to get ads for vacation packages to Cancun or high-end digital cameras, but now when I go on Facebook, it seems like all the promoted posts in my news feed are for unscented cat litter, said Delray, wistfully recalling the halcyon days of his youth before the promotions based on his demographic and behavioral traits were for CPA certification programs and bathroom sink accessories. It would be kind of nice to see a few banner ads for Lollapalooza again. Frankly, it can be a little depressing when you go to a website and its covered in ads for 15 percent off wheel alignments. At press time, Delray reportedly sighed while clicking mute on a video ad about debt consolidation. 
2	Donald Trump Just Got Hit With Some Devastating News According to recent reports, presidential candidate Ben Carson is now on equal footing with GOP leader Donald Trumpdisrupting the lead the legendary businessman as maintained throughout the race so far. Carson gained support from the Republican primary, and he is now right behind Trump in the pick for the presidential nomination. The data comes from a New York Times/CBS News poll. Similar to Trump, Carson has capitalized on being an atypical candidate for the Republican party, with a mix of anti-establishment views and socially conservative perspectives. Experts believe this unique position has helped him to jump ahead in the poll. Republican voters favored Carson by 23 percent, a rise from 6 percent in the previous CBS News poll taken just before the primaries. Trump, on the other hand, sat at 27 percent after the primariesmarking just a 3 point gain. What do you think? If the election were tomorrow, would you vote for Trump, Carson, or another candidate? 
3	Silent Majority: 55% of Americans Want Independent to Run Against Trump, ClintonBy Carey Wedler Researchers for the poll, conducted among 997 registered voters via both home and mobile phones this month, reported that 58% of respondents are dissatisfied with the current group of Republican and Democratic candidates for President and that 55 percent believe there should be an independent ticket (it is unclear why 3 percent apparently dislike the current candidates but puzzlingly do not think there should be another option). In perhaps the most extreme finding of the analysis, a shocking 91% of voters under the age of 29 favor having an independent candidate on the ballot. Considering younger generations lack of party allegiance and disillusionment with the status quo, their disapproval of Clinton and Trump seems predictable but 91 percent constitutes near-total rejection. Tellingly, over 68 percent of participants in the poll were over the age of 50. Older generations are more likely to be attached to party identity, making their acceptance of other options a telling indicator of the populaces distaste for their current options. The United States has notoriously clung to the narrow two-party duopoly for most of its history even as the crafters of the Constitution, for all their staggering shortcomings, cautioned of the dangers of such myopic political representation and party allegiance. But considering the unpopularity of Trump and Clinton the former has a 55 percent unfavorability liking, the latter 56 percent Americans appear to be turning a corner on their perception of who deserves power in politics. In fact, 65 percent of poll respondents said they would be at least somewhat, pretty or very willing to support a candidate for President who is not Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton a stark difference from 2012, when Americans resisted deviation from the norm. A Gallup poll from that year highlighted the nations two-party rigidity. U.S. registered voters show limited support for third-party candidateswith the vast majority preferring Barack Obama or Mitt Romney, analysts reported just a few months before the 2012 general election. They concluded about 5% of Americans would vote for a third-party candidate that year. Just four years later, however, that figure has exploded. As the Data Testing report explains: In a ballot test against Clinton and Trump, a truly independent candidate starts off with 21% of the vote, already far greater than 2012s 5%. But this number increases to 29% in the Big Sky region, 30% in New England and 28% in the West region. Independents were even more willing to break away from the options theyve been given. Among voters with an unfavorable opinion of both Trump and Clinton, the independent actually wins the ballot test, researchers reported, noting that of the three options, 7 percent of respondents chose Clinton, 11 percent chose Trump, and a staggering 56 percent chose the unspecified third-party candidate. Though these ballot test findings are lower than the statistic that 65 percent would be open to breaking away from Clinton and Trump, the increase of third-party interest from 2012 remains palpably significant. It should be noted that Data Targeting is a GOP-affiliated political research firm, however, the results indicate little room for bias. In fact, they are paramount in an election where, as the analysis notes, Clinton and Trump provoke more animosity than enthusiasm. Perhaps highlighting lingering attachments to two-party thinking, Clintons highest unfavorability rating (78 percent) came from Republicans, while Trumps highest unfavorability rating (71 percent) came from Democrats. Regardless, it is undeniable Americans are fed up with the system at large. According to another recent poll, just over half believe elections are rigged. Interest in third-party options, like the Libertarian and Green parties, is also steadily growing. As Ron Paul, the outspoken former presidential candidate, whose 2012 campaign was undermined by the media and Republican establishment, recently said, Ive never bought into this idea that the lesser of two evils is a good idea and Americans increasingly agree. According to a Gallup poll released last year, 43 percent of Americans identify as independent the highest number in the history of the poll. Meanwhile, faith in mainstream media is also dwindling and it tends to dip even lower in election years, as Americans observe the perpetual circus acts performed by corporate outlets. With contentious power struggles raging both within the major parties and between them, Americans appear to be sobering up to the realities of party dominance and loyalty as they evolve beyond their crumbling political past. It might have taken a shameless war criminal and a repugnant demagogue to finally wake Americans from their two-party stupor, but its happening and its better late than never.

Pray tellas this is a rather ambiguous nebulous proclamation Independent WHO???as just another George Soros puppet. or Superman might just come save us all (lol) My thoughts too. The only good independent to run would be one who exposes the entire political sham for what it is e.g. the late great Aaron Russo or Larry McDonald. TPTB would never let him or her take office, but the necessary damage to the house of cards system would be done if they somehow managed to get onto a platform to megaphone the depths of the conspiracies to the world. Funny Gary Johnson will be on all 50 ballots and garnered the highest % of an independent in the last election ;but not even mentioned here. He has a strong record as New Mexico governor for 8 years. He also has a current federal lawsuit against the monopolies not allowing third parties into the general debates. I refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils out of fear. They both suck! Unfortunately he is a Libertarian. The guy who would sell off the public lands to the highest bidder who would then do what all capitalists do rape pillage and plunder til extinction so no thank you. Jill Stein for President! (if Bernie folds) How would you know what a capitalist does? There has not been a real capitalist society for longer than youve been alive, Lud. What are you using to compare against? Your own opinions of what capitalists do, or the false narrative put out by cultural Marxists that tries to smear anything that does not benefit their agenda of global misery. Real capitalist society Roman Empire. Real capitalist organization Mafia. Both based on the sociopathic exploitation of the many and the environment for the benefit of a few. Capitalism can work only if it has as its first priority a public benefit. This is the way it was in this country before the capitalists corrupted our politics and bought the law makers. Of course the uber narcissistic sociopath capitalist, Ayn Rand, described capitalism quite well. Rome was an oligarchy; the Mafia is crony capitalism. Ever see a Don offer work to someone not inside his system? Who gets the sweetheart deals if not the ones who are connected? That is not free market capitalism. Wrong. Read Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. It was a Republic not an oligarchy. At least you admit that the mafia is capitalism. There is no free market. That is a myth propagated by crony capitalists. You may want to read Das Kapital before you go making statements about cultural Marxism. You still have yet to admit you were wrong about the hillbilly thing in O. Capitalism does not mean that there are people above the laws. I completely agree that for capitalism to work the public interest has to come first. Thats how corporate charters worked to begin with in the usA becoming the USA . Some inequality in the application of law happens in all forms of government but happens constantly under fascism aka corporatism like what is in the us and growing or established in parts of europe. Mussolinis definition of fascism is basically corporations and government working together to further their own interests with little regard for the people the government claims to represent. If there was equality under the law in the us a lot of fairly wealthy people would be getting locked up where they should be instead of being leaders of industry and government. Thanks. Well said. Got that Pyra? What a farceI love how these propaganda pieces are already under way..Anyone with half a brain can see that this is the next angle that the elites in the MSM have been pushing..Mark Cuban,and this and that,and articles like this..It is quite clear that the people want Sanders and Trump..Its also clear that those who run the world do notLittle dissapointed to see this on a site that usually keeps it prop free.. Maybe the people dont want what Sanders and Trump represent, rather they want what they project and that is being establishment outsiders. Most people only understand politics on a very superficial level, they cant fathom multiple layers of deception and the grooming of controlled opposition. How can anyone claim people think or the majority of Americans based on the opinions of 997 people? Please. I studied statistics and polls for my masters degree 997 people is actually a good representative figure. Hahaha so of course youre an expert. I studied anthropology for my masters degree so that makes me an expert on human beings. No, it doesnt, it means diddly squat and I know it. if you have one, let us all see them, and get these two BUGS out of the way. I heart Ron Paul he should have been POTUS in the last go round but they shoved him out the door. USURY is THEFT. I cant believe we have been living under this system for as long as we have. The fed and money system is the greatest fraud that has been invented and accepted by the worlds population. It has destroyed so much in its path and its only getting started now. Its behind every evil on the planet and to think we have let it go on? I just cant get my head around it? Wrong! NOBODY 2015! Why do you NEED a president? Why do you NEED a US? America wants Donald Trump and these polls are layers and full of crappart of the Bush, Romney effete lying miscreants destroying America. The word scam does not even come close. In fact I cant think of a word to describe the fraud the fed and banking system is. I cant believe we have lived under this system for so long. I just can not get my head around it, friend This is BS info. Not all of us are non thinkers and just accept this crap info as truth. I hope the 55% of those surveyed whod choose an independent, away from the 2 wings of the same bird, will extrapolate to real change come election time. 
2	BREAKING: State Department Releases Urgent Message Warning Of Terrorist Attack In THIS City The State Department issued an urgent message on Saturday warning Americans of a potential terrorist attack in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad. This is based on classified intelligence and we have been told that the increased risk on attack will span the length of the holidays. Although Pakistan is always at risk of a terrorist attack, the State Dept. stressed that this warning is much more than a formality. The attack would likely take place at shopping centers and places of worship. The State Department message also advises private U.S. citizens to exercise particular caution during the holiday season and at holiday festivals or events. It also says to minimize the number and duration of trips to public markets, restaurants, hotels, places of worship and other locations in which large numbers of people congregate. Americans on social media are most confused about one thing: Why are there enough Americans in Pakistan to make such a public announcement? Vance W. Boyd said @FoxNews If they are dumb enough to be in Pakistan then screw em. We tend to agree. Do you think all Americans should get out of Pakistan? 
2	BREAKING: U.S. Gold Medalist Olympian Found Dead... Please Pray [VIDEO] This week, equestrians everywhere are mourning the loss of a gold medal winning show jumper who was killed on Wednesday when the horse she was riding on fell. The incident took place during a show in New Yorks Hudson Valley. Rebecca Weissbard was a 22-year-old from Manorville, Long Island. She died on the scene at Horse Shows in The Sun in Saugerties. Weissbard was reportedly on her second run through a 10-hurdle course when her horse, Remember Me, struck a cross pole on the first hurdle. She was thrown from her horse, which then crushed her. Authorities confirmed the equestrian died of blunt force trauma, and paramedics were unable to revive her. An hour before her tragic death, Weissbard won the first round of the show. The condition of the horse has not been reported. It is with great sadness that HITS informs the equestrian community of an accident involving a talented young athlete, HITS spokesman Emily Glass said in a statement. HITS extends its deepest sympathy to the athletes family and to the entire horse sport community who feels the impact of this significant loss. In 2013, Weissbard won a gold medal at the Maccabiah Games in Israel. She also helped her U.S. show jumping team win a silver medal. Please send your prayers to Weissbards family during this difficult time. 
1	Alvaro Rodriguez, the first winner of the new Guatemalan 'Scratch 'n' Win' national lottery, is now the proud owner of his own sewing machine, a 1945-model Singer XS-100. Alvaro Rodriguez, winner of the first-ever Guatemalan national lottery, will never have to hand-stitch his clothes again. Rodriguez, a 26-year-old fruit-crate stacker, was described as 'speechless and stunned' by lottery officials, who on Monday presented him with the luxurious, fully automated sewing device, as well as a gigantic oversized check for the machine's costa staggering nine American dollarson a surprise visit to Rodriguez's modest, bathtub-sized home. 'I can't believe it!' the ecstatic winner told reporters. 'I will be able to make my clothes in a fraction of the time. No more will I slave like a dog, hand-stitching my ponchos with needle and thread. From now on, I will live like a king.' Four lucky Guatemalans, including Rodriguez, scratched off the winning combination of 'U,' 'F' and 'C'the initials of the lottery's sponsor, the United Fruit Company. Rodriguez, however, was singled out as the sole winner when the other three were disqualified after being killed by death squads earlier in the week. The new 'Scratch The Flies Off The Dying Children' lotto game is being hailed as a success by sponsors and citizenry alike. 'Over 35 percent of the Guatemalan populace bought a ticket, far exceeding our highest hopes,' United Fruit Company spokesperson Donald Hamlinger said. 'I mean, that's almost as high as the country's infant mortality rate.' Added Hamlinger: 'Lots of people are asking, 'His own sewing machine? How long are you letting him rent it?' We want to make it clear to the people of Guatemala that he owns it. Mr. Rodriguez won his very own foot-pedaled, self-spooling sewing machine. Sure, it sounds too good to be true, but it is. The Guatemala Lottery makes dreams happen.' Despite the impressive lure of the once-in-a-lifetime luxury of a personal sewing machine, the new lottery has drawn criticism. Some feel that the cost of the lottery tickets, approximately one-seven-hundredth of an American cent, is prohibitively high. Others say the lottery offers such impossibly luxurious prizes that the Guatemalan poor will squander all their money on the game. 'How could anyone resist the chance to win a sewing machine that automatically sews the thread into the fabric?' said rural Guatemalan villager Inez Menchu. 'It is as if God Himself is tempting us with sweet nectar from heaven.' Despite the lottery's critics, many of whom have already been put to death by the government, Rodriguez had no complaints Monday as he sat down to enjoy his brand-new used sewing machine. 'I know in my heart I should just put the sewing machine in the bank, so that I may live comfortably off the interest for the rest of my life,' Rodriguez said. 'But I can do that tomorrow. Today, I am going to live it up. Today, I will sew myself some new clothes. I think I just may sew all day long!' As for his future plans, Rodriguez said he has no intention of quitting his job. 'I am not going to change just because I now have this deluxe sewing machine that no one else in the country has. I do not want my newfound status as one of Guatemala's super-rich to keep me from appreciating the good things in life that I have always enjoyed: three square meals a week, soles on the bottom of my feet, and over half my teeth. Even though I am a big sewing-machine owner guy now, I am still going to stay the same me my family has always known and loved.'

2	Donald Trump And Ted Cruz Team Up Do Something UNTHINKABLE, Liberals Are Furious Throughout his campaign, Donald Trump has been criticized for attacking those that question him, such as Fox News reporter Megyn Kelly. On the other hand, Trump has shown that he is not afraid to praise or even join forces with men he respectseven if that means making friends with the competition. Now, Trump has announced that he intends to team up with Texas Sen. and GOP candidate Ted Cruz to do something very big over the next two weeks in Washington. Trump went on to explain that he and Cruz are partnering to protest the totally incompetent nuclear deal with Iran. Trump has been one of the most vocal in his opposition against the deal, noting that Iran was going to receive about $150 billion in the agreement. You know what I would do? Trump asked reporters. I would not give them the money. Cruz campaign officials have confirmed the partnership, claiming that Cruz has invited Donald Trump to join him on the Capitol grounds for a rally to call on members of Congress to defeat the catastrophic deal that the Obama administration has struck with the Islamic Republic of Iran. What do you think? Do you support this partnership? 
2	James Woods Unleashes On Graham And McCain For Stabbing Conservatives In The Back James Woods is one of the most outspoken conservative actors in Hollywood. He has been very vocal throughout the election, posting funny memes and informative anti-Hillary pictures and statistics. After Donald Trump won the election, he took a hiatus from Twitter on a strike over their censorship of conservative views. He recently posted a status about Lindsay Graham and John McCain abandoning Trump and supporting Obamas war against Russia and their alleged interference in our election. Woods posted an article in The Hill, which said GOP Sens. John McCain (Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (S.C.)two vocal foreign policy hawkscalled the moves by the Obama administration long overdue but promised to push tougher sanctions next year. We intend to lead the effort in the new Congress to impose stronger sanctions on Russia, the two senators said in a joint statement. That clearly didnt sit well with Woods. Why dont these two spend the next eight years hanging with the Clintons on Soros yacht? Woods tweeted about the pair. Let the adults handle this Woods attacks didnt stop on Twitter. We wrote an article about them that said the following: How would one fight the good fight, however, against Twitters latest gambit? Deciding that thousands of their clients opinions are not to Twitters political taste, they banged their corporate noggins together and virtually silenced those voices by terminating the offending accounts permanently. No explanation. No appeal. No discussion. Big Brother has spoken. 
1	WASHINGTON, DCAt a press conference Monday, U.S. Secretary of Self-Help Edward Wiersma named best-selling author and noted empowerment expert Dr. Nancy Weeks, Ph.D., the new National Support Person. Self-Help Secretary Edward Wiersma and newly appointed National Support Person Dr. Nancy Weeks, who is there for all Americans. 'Whether struggling to overcome alcohol addiction, working to improve anger-management skills, or simply trying to build more fulfilling relationships, Americans should feel free to approach Nancy for guidance and support,' Wiersma said. 'U.S. citizens should think of her as their federally designated recovery resource.' Addressing the Washington press corps for the first time, Weeks expressed hope that Americans will feel comfortable coming to see her. 'As a breast-cancer survivor, I know how important it is to have someone there for you when you're going through rough times,' said Weeks, who spent more than 20 years under the tutelage of renowned hug therapist Dr. Leo Buscaglia. 'That's why I hope people won't be shy about seeking me out: When you're trying to beat depression, get over the loss of a loved one, or cope with menopause, knowing you're not alone can make all the difference.' Weeks said she plans to lobby Congress to allocate $420 million for national awareness-raising. She also called upon all Americans to be their own best friend. 'While I can certainly be of help, ultimately, it all comes down to self-respect, self-love,' said Weeks, author of Just Say Know: The 10-Week Path To Discovering You. 'Remember: Wherever you go, there you are.' Weeks said she generally goes to bed around midnight and urged U.S. citizens to call anytime up until then.

2	Muslim Father Kills 4 year Old Daughter For Forgetting To Cover Her Head While President Barack Obama likes to contend that Islam is a religion of peace. But many of the cultural customs associated with the religion represent a long history of misogyny and violence against women and children. And its no wonderwhen the Koran instructs to beat a woman if you fear disobedience from them. We have seen many manifestations of this over the past decade, and unfortunately, incidents happen far more than are even reported. And the victims are most often women and little girls. Recently, a four-year-old girl was killed by her own father in Uttar Pradesh after she failed to cover herself while eating lunch. One report indicates that her father slammed the child to the ground again and again, till she died. The report details that the girl was having her lunch when the shawl covering her head fell off. When she forgot to put it back up, her enraged father, Jafar Hassain, picked her up and flung her to the ground. Hussain later asked his wife to bury their daughter inside the house, but she instead reported the incident to authorities. What do you think? Does violence like this need to be stopped? 
2	Obama Refuses To Salute Soldier, What He Does Instead Will Make You Furious This video has been going viral across the internet. On the way to Europe, Obama boarded a plane with a Marine saluting at the front door. He seemed to forget to salute back, or maybe he just ignored him. Who knows? Its been a recurring problem for many people that Obama hasnt served in the military. Many Americans are sore about this fact, and this incident really makes things worse for Obama. After Obama forgot to salute, he shamefully walked back out of the plane and saluted the Marine. Watch the video: What do you think of this? Does Obama not care about our military? 
1	In a mandatory, nationwide health initiative many Americans are dreading, all U.S. citizens will be tested for scoliosis Friday. Testing begins early in a San Francisco junior-high-school gym. 'Though some people may think it's a laughing matter, scoliosis is no joke,' said Dr. David Krasnow of the Department of Health and Human Services, which is overseeing the testing. 'An untreated case will result in significant deformity of the spine. So we can either act like mature ladies and gentlemen and get through the screenings quickly, or goof off and make it harder for everyone.' The scoliosis checks, to be conducted in junior-high-school gymnasiums across the U.S., are intended to diagnose and prevent the degenerative condition, which produces an S- or C-shaped curvature in the spine. During the 30-second procedure, citizens will bend forward roughly 25 degrees while federal health workers look for any abnormal distension, such as a bulging rib or fullness in the lumbar area. If a citizen tests positive for scoliosis, he or she will be fitted for a custom brace designed to halt the progression of the curvature. Americans of both sexes will be asked to disrobe to the waist. Women will be permitted to keep their bras on. Krasnow stressed that the screenings are mandatory, and that every American is expected to show up at his or her designated auditorium. 'If you're sick or otherwise unavailable on Thursday, we'll be contacting you to reschedule,' Krasnow said. 'We'll also be on the lookout for forged parental notes excusing people from the test.' Though Dallas resident Julie Muldowney, 42, plans to comply, she questioned the screenings' necessity. 'I don't get it,' Muldowney said. 'I remember getting tested for scoliosis back in seventh or eighth grade. We had to step behind a screen in the girls' locker room, and the school nurse examined our backs for curvatures. It was incredibly unpleasant and embarrassing. Why do they need to check us again?' Also skeptical is Baltimore resident Eddie Woodson. Fitted with a cervico-thoraco-lumbo-sacral-orthosis brace after being diagnosed with scoliosis during the last nationwide screening in 1999, the 51-year-old landscaper said his range of motion has been severely restricted ever since. 'The doctor told me to wear this thing 23 hours a day, and I can only take it off to swim or play,' said Woodson, his head held upright by a neck ring anchored to the plastic, custom-molded device. 'When I asked him if I could take it off to work, he said no. This is ridiculous. I probably lived with this condition for years, and it never bothered me. You try lifting rolls of sod with this damn thing on.' Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson rejected such criticisms, insisting that the benefits of scoliosis screening far outweigh the inconvenience. 'I assure you, the government is not doing this just to be meanies,' Thompson said. 'As Americans get older and look back on these screenings, I am confident they'll come to understand just how important they really were. That goes for all of our programs.' Thompson was alluding to such unpopular HHS programs as the annual mandatory head-lice inspection, the hearing test, and 'Friday the Thir-teeth,' a dental-hygiene fair at which HHS officials dress in foam molar costumes to distribute toothbrushes and small red tablets which, when chewed, expose plaque on the teeth. Thompson said he believes a majority of Americans view the scoliosis test favorably, citing the example of Verona, WI, resident Alan Righetti. 'The scoliosis test is awesome,' said Righetti, 35. 'The last one was held in the school cafeteria, and there were partitions between the men and the women. But if you looked between the partitions, you could see the ladies in their bras.' Continued Righetti: 'The Scoliosis Man comic book they gave out was pretty lame, but at least it wasn't as dumb as that one we got from the suicide-awareness and prevention assembly. Me and my buddies down at the lumber yard still quote it, it's so stupid: 'Chad, do you want my portable cassette player? I don't want it anymore.' 'But, Ben, I don't get it. That's your most prized possession!' Yeah, we get itsuicidal people give their stuff away! How dumb is that?' The next mandatory HHS initiative is slated for October. Titled 'It's Perfectly Natural,' the program will address the topic of menstruation. 'We'll be giving out free Kotex sanitary napkins and tampons, and showing the 1973 film Donna, You're Not Alone,' Krasnow said. 'And if you men out there think you're exempt from attending, think again. We'll be holding a concurrent, men-only talk about what to expect from puberty. And let's refrain from the giggling, shall we?' 
2	BREAKING: Armed Patriots Gather To Attack Obama And Force Him Out Of The White House It appears that the American people are officially fed up with the current administrations actions when it comes to the border crisis, and many are starting to believe that their refusal to help border states may actually be intentional. Further, some Americans believe that Obama may actually be plotting to gain a bigger Democratic population. Now it appears that a group of Americans in Michigan are banding together to protest, and are even bringing their weapons along to show just how angry they are. We must act. We must save American and stand up to this invasion, Tamyra Murray, organizer of the protest, told Breitbart. We the people are standing up and saying we will not allow illegal immigration, Matt Krol said in the same report. What do you think? Is it wrong of the government to ignore Americans and leave the defense of our country up to the American public? 
1	As part of an effort to consolidate ties with the sovereign fiscal nation, U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke visited the cloud city-state of Econopolis on Friday to participate in ongoing diplomatic talks. Bernanke, who traveled in a luxury cable car to the opulent capital floating 20,000 feet above the earth's surface, was greeted upon arrival by President Cash Moneyton III, as well as a delegation of Econopolis representatives from the Ministry of Supply, the Bureau of Demand, the Agency of Goods, the Department of Services, and the Office of Consumption. 'Econopolis is the world leader in the exchange of currency and a shining beacon of commerce,' said Bernanke, admiring the hundreds of glass skyscrapers and the 125-story golden dollar-sign-shaped tower that dominate the skyline of the Ka-Ching financial district. 'This great monetary nation is a key strategic partner for the United States and crucial to its fiscal well-being.' 'America treasures this relationship and greatly benefits from its alliance with the world's No. 1 supplier of commodity, value, and profit,' Bernanke added. The Fed chief meeting with President Cash Moneyton III. In honor of the Fed chief's historic visit, President Moneyton III hosted an extravagant 11-course feast that featured local delicacies such as succulent sous-vide stock certificates; aged ticker tape served with fiddlehead ferns, ramps, and morels; safety deposit boxes filled with silver gravy; dumplings stuffed with braised shredded cash; countless savory and sweet pie charts; and an upside-down treasury bond cake. 'All of the banknotes are grown locally,' said Moneyton III, dipping a number nine into a fresh euro salsa and biting its stem. 'You must try the legal tenderloin. It just melts in your mouth. And those freshly minted coins are simply divine.' Econopolis, which gained independence in 1953, is an absolute moneyarchy first established in 1865, shortly after prospectors discovered the hovering territory was rich in cash deposits. Today, the country is the world's chief manufacturer of numbers, funds, and markets. During his visit, Bernanke was reportedly invited on an assembly-plant tour, where he saw workers weld together gleaming new number 44s with high-powered torches. In another part of the factory, the Fed chief encountered a scaffolding-covered number 1,234,987, which was surrounded by massive cranes equipped with large shovels to dump more digits into the partially built numeral. The tour of the cloud nation's industrial sector concluded with Bernanke accompanying local wealth inspectors as they evaluated a mill tasked with producing assets and manufacturing vast amounts of value. Sources confirmed Bernanke was also invited to the grand opening of the National Budgetarium, which houses a wide variety of fiscal flora and fauna, including more than 90 different species of decimal points, large lumbering equations, and flowering financial plans with gorgeous estimated-expenditure blossoms. 'Econopolis is filled with so many marvels, from the glittering canals flowing with liquid diamonds to the quaint financial market where locals sell the most elegant handcrafted rates,' Bernanke said. 'I even caught a glimpse of the last herd of wild accountants grazing on a patch of receipts.' Pledging solidarity with Econopolis, Bernanke paid tribute at the Vault of the Unknown Banker by laying a wreath woven from $100,000 in U.S. currency and containing bills of every denomination. 'This is an astonishing and fitting monument to all those who have anonymously served, invested, and transacted for the greater goods,' said Bernanke, wiping away tears while examining the memorial's columns, marble-carved renderings of rolled coins. 'It's just so very touching.' At press time, Bernanke announced that due to several conflicts he was forced to change his travel itinerary and cancel a stopover in the nation of Downturnijan. 
2	Alabama Chief Justice Tells Judge To Stop Issuing Gay Marriage Licenses According to reports from the Associated Press, Alabamas top justice just announced that state probate judges should not issue same-sex marriage licenses. That order comes in direct conflict with the Supreme Courts decision to legalize gay marriage last year. Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore of Alabama cited several conflicting rulings to back his decision, and argues that until they are resolved, the states gay marriage ban will remain in effect. Until further decision by the Alabama Supreme Court, the existing orders of the Alabama Supreme Court that Alabama probate judges have a ministerial duty not to issue any marriage license contrary to the Alabama Sanctity of Marriage Amendment or the Alabama Marriage Protection Act remain in full force and effect, he wrote in a statement. It is unclear whether judges in the state have been issuing licenses thus far. Moore argues that even though the United States Supreme Court invalidated anti-gay marriage laws, existing laws in Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee have sparked confusion and uncertaintyamong the probate judges of this State as to the effect on existing orders. Moore claims that the broader issue is which law the state will follow, and argues that the Alabama Supreme Court continues to deliberate on the matter. 
1	The picturesque city of Boulder once again placed first in American Living's annual tally of the nation's 20 best places to raise abducted children, taking top honors for the third consecutive year. 'With plenty of cultural amenities, unsurpassed recreational opportunities, and an inviting lack of neighborhood watch groups, Boulder is the ideal place to raise a captive family,' the magazine's editors wrote in a two-page feature spread. 'The city is large enough for new residents to quickly blend in, yet small enough that one could easily track down a child who manages to escape from the attic crawlspace in the dead of night.' Editors also lauded its many bike paths. 'Boulder is the perfect place for me and the girls,' said a local resident who asked that we refer to him only as Peter. 'Trust me, we've lived all over: Sacramento, Reno, Tucson, Dallas, Orlando, northern Mexico for a few weeks, Dallas again, even Alaska. Nowhere else comes close.' In addition to its No. 1 overall ranking, Boulder also placed in the top five in several individual categories of the American Living index, including median income, school quality, basement size, annual number of search warrants issued, and green space. 'Everyone here is so friendly,' said Mary Brown, who moved to the region last November with her common-law husband. 'They're quick to smile and say hello, but they never ask any prying questions, like why you have an Asian baby.' The city of 300,000, located in the foothills of the Rockies, also earned high marks for its stunning scenery and access to 'countless outdoor attractions and mountain getaways.' Millions of acres of protected wilderness can be found within a half hour's drive of the city center, allowing captors to take their children on overnight camping trips, weekend hikes, or longer excursions as needed until media coverage dies down. 'This is beautiful country out here,' said David Walker Janssen, a self-described preacher who has lived for years on the outskirts of Boulder. 'Rugged peaks on one side, endless golden plains on the otherGod truly chose this land. Just as He chose those flaxen-haired angels to be my rightful brides.' Aside from its natural beauty, Boulder also impressed American Living's editors with its 300 sunny days per year, its wealth of free cultural events, and the fact that building a soundproof backyard shed does not require filing any paperwork with city hall. 'The Boulder business community could not agree more strongly with American Living's assessment,' Northern Colorado Chamber of Commerce president Dan Warburton said. 'Everything you could possibly need to raise your kidnapped childrenample sunlight, nearby hardware stores with all the tools and rope you could ever ask for, coffee shops where you can sit for hours planning out your next move, even abandoned warehousesit's all right here. So come, discover Boulder.' While the community's nurturing environment has won the near unanimous praise of visitors and abductors alike, Boulder's most meaningful words of endorsement came from its young people. 'Boulder is great,' said 15-year-old Samantha Pritchard, who has lived in the area since April or May or maybe it was June 2007. 'I love living here in Boulder. Yup, I love living right here in Boulder, Colorado.' 'That's Boulder, Colorado,' she added.

1	Making good on a promise to curb juvenile crime, Congress passed legislation Monday making it illegal for anyone under 19 to commit murder. 'If you kill someone, your parents will be notified and you may even spend time in jail,' said Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-MS). Previously, murderers as young as 14, depending on state of residence, were considered to be acting within the law. President Clinton approved the bill, though he had recently threatened to veto it if youths between 16 and 19 were not granted certain killing privileges with parental consent.

But when the Reserve Casino Hotel donated two tickets so Cindy and her daughter Bri could attend a Broncos playoff game, she was grateful to have the opportunity to be cheering from the sidelines. Cindy and Bri tailgated before the game, wearing matching Manning jerseys. Its an honor because he is a really great guy and I am glad he got to do something for my mom, Bri told reporters. I am just proud to be here in the craziness, Cindy told reporters. I will yell as loud as I can. I dont know if I can beat the crowd thats there, but Ill try. Cindy held a sign reading: My last wish came true, now win! throughout the game. She was excited about the memories she would have with daughter. Cindy was diagnosed with cancer two years ago. She underwent chemotherapy, but recently found out the cancer had spread. She was given one month to live. Bri knew that her mothers wish was to meet Manning, so she posted it on Facebook hoping that the football star would take notice. The plan worked like a charm, and Cindy received a phone call from her hero, telling her that he was praying for her. She never asks for anything for herself, so I think she really deserves it, Becky Smith told reporters. I just want you to know that Im glad to hear youre such a big Broncos fan and supporter of mine, Manning said on the phone. And, I appreciate that and that you are in my thoughts and in my prayers. I know youre going through a tough fight right now, and you have a lot of people pulling for you and praying for you and you can add me to that list. What do you think?

3	10 Charts Which Show We Are Much Worse Off Than Just Before The Last Economic CrisisMichael Snyder If you go back to 2007, people were feeling really good about things. Houses were being flipped like crazy, the stock market was booming and unemployment was relatively low. But then the financial crisis of 2008 struck, and for a while it felt like the world was coming to an end. Of course it didnt come to an end it was just the first wave of our problems. The waves that come next are going to be the ones that really wipe us out. Unfortunately, because we have experienced a few years of relative stability, many Americans have become convinced that Barack Obama, Janet Yellen and the rest of the folks in Washington D.C. have fixed whatever problems caused the last crisis. Even though all of the numbers are screaming otherwise, there are millions upon millions of people out there that truly believe that everything is going to be okay somehow. We never seem to learn from the past, and when this next economic downturn strikes it is going to do an astonishing amount of damage because we are already in a significantly weakened state from the last one. For each of the charts that I am about to share with you, I want you to focus on the last shaded gray bar on each chart which represents the last recession. As you will see, our economic problems are significantly worse than they were just before the financial crisis of 2008. That means that we are far less equipped to handle a major economic crisis than we were the last time. #1 The National Debt Just prior to the last recession, the U.S. national debt was a bit above 9 trillion dollars. Since that time, it has nearly doubled. So does that make us better off or worse off? The answer, of course, is obvious. And even though Barack Obama promises that deficits are under control, more than a trillion dollars was added to the national debt in fiscal year 2014. What we are doing to future generations by burdening them with so much debt is beyond criminal. And so what does Barack Obama want to do now? He wants to ramp up government spending and increase the debt even faster. This is something that I covered in my previous article entitled Barack Obama Says That What America Really Needs Is Lots More Debt. Over the past 40 years, the total amount of debt in the United States has skyrocketed to astronomical heights. We have become a buy now, pay later society with devastating consequences. Back in 1975, our total debt level was sitting at about 2.5 trillion dollars. Just prior to the last recession, it was sitting at about 50 trillion dollars, and today we are rapidly closing in on 60 trillion dollars. When an economy is healthy, money tends to change hands and circulate through the system quite rapidly. So it makes sense that the velocity of money fell dramatically during the last recession. But why has it kept going down since then? Were you aware that the rate of homeownership in the United States has fallen to a 20 year low? Traditionally, owning a home has been a sign that you belong to the middle class. And the last recession was really rough on the middle class, so it makes sense that the rate of homeownership declined during that time frame. But why has it continued to steadily decline ever since? Barack Obama loves to tell us how the unemployment rate is going down. But as I will explain later in this article, this decline is primarily based on accounting tricks. Posted below is a chart of the civilian employment-population ratio. Just prior to the last recession, approximately 63 percent of the working age population of the United States was employed. During the recession, this ratio fell to below 59 percent and it stayed there for several years. Just recently it has peeked back above 59 percent, but we are still very, very far from where we used to be, and now the next economic downturn is rapidly approaching. So how can Obama get away with saying that the unemployment rate has gone down dramatically? Well, each month the government takes thousands upon thousands of long-term unemployed workers and decides that they have been unemployed for so long that they no longer qualify as part of the labor force. As a result, the labor force participation rate has fallen substantially since the end of the last recession If things are getting better, then why are so many men in their prime working years doing nothing at all? Just prior to the last recession, the inactivity rate for men in their prime working years was about 9 percent. Today it is just about 12 percent. Not only is a smaller percentage of Americans employed today than compared to just prior to the last recession, the quality of our jobs has gone down as well. This is one of the factors which has resulted in a stunning decline of real median household income. -39 percent of American workers make less than $20,000 a year. We all know people that are working part-time jobs because that is all that they can find in this economy. As the quality of our jobs continues to deteriorate, the numbers above are going to become even more dismal. #9 Inflation Even as our incomes have stagnated, the cost of living just continues to rise steadily. For example, the cost of food and beverages has gone up nearly 50 percent just since the year 2000. As the middle class shrinks and the number of Americans that cannot independently take care of themselves soars, dependence on the government is reaching unprecedented heights. For instance, the federal government is now spending about twice as much on food stamps as it was just prior to the last recession. How in the world can anyone dare to call this an economic recovery? To me, it is crystal clear that we are in much worse condition than we were just prior to the last economic crisis. And now things are setting up in textbook fashion for the next great economic crisis. Unfortunately, most Americans are totally clueless about what is going on and the vast majority are completely and totally unprepared for what is coming. Or could it be possible that I am wrong?

1	Saying that he always strives to set a strong example for his son to follow, local father Gary Dalton told reporters Tuesday that he has been carefully teaching his 9-year-old boy Zachary how to overreact with blind rage to completely irrelevant bullshit. Now that Zachs getting older, its important for me to show him how to deal with the minor inconveniences in life by blowing them totally out of proportion, said Dalton, noting that he frequently tries to demonstrate to his son the proper way to fly off the handle both at home and in public. Zach should know that small, trivial irritations, like misplaced keys or having to relight the pilot light in the basement, should trigger an unbridled anger inside him. And thats not something he can fully learn from his friends at school or by watching TVhe needs a father figure right there, blowing up in his face about never, ever messing with the DVR again for him to see exactly how its done. Its up to me as a parent to become unsettlingly irate over something as small as letting the screen door slam shut, so that Zach learns to never let even the most petty, negligible nuisance slide, Dalton added. Hes an observant kid and he really looks up to me, so Im sure hell catch on quickly. In an effort to help guide his sons development, Dalton explained that he consistently tries to embody the qualities of irritability, hostility, and bitterness in his daily life, emphasizing to his fourth-grade son the importance of letting his annoyance over an inconsequential matter develop into a lingering, biting resentment that makes others feel uncomfortable to be near him. In addition, the 42-year-old market researcher said that he has been making a concerted effort of late to show his boy how to obsess over such ultimately trifling things as a driver going too slow in the left lane or a person who is slightly holding up a line, and to interpret these incidents as if they were significant, deliberate personal slights. Dalton told reporters that he believes hes made significant headway with his son in recent weeks. In particular, the local father cited several very constructive instances in which he demonstrated how to absolutely flip out when someone asks him to pull the car over to use the bathroom; when to pound his fist on a table and mutter the phrases Goddammit and I dont need this in increasingly loud and aggressive tones; and the proper way to scowl, roll his eyes, and pantomime hurling his cell phone violently to the floor when his wife calls to tell him that something came up and hell have to drive the children to their soccer game. I always try to lead by example, but now, when some meaningless little thing doesnt go Zachs way, Ill help guide him through the process of treating it as if it were the end of the world, said Dalton, noting how his own father instructed him how to fly into a rage over barely anything at all when he was a child. Just last weekend, when a waitress brought him the wrong item, I laid out the process of having a public meltdown step-by-step, showing him exactly how to get irrationally livid, how to clench his teeth and curse under his breath, and then how to belittle a strangers intelligence in a loud, confrontational scene that causes others to look over in shock and disgust. I think it really made a strong impression on him. The local father told reporters that he was particularly looking forward to an upcoming family camping trip, claiming that a single explosive outburst in such close quarters would go a long way toward helping his son understand how to generalize a small frustration into a broad, unrestrained sense of anger that simmers for days and effectively ruins the whole familys entire weekend. Dalton reported, however, that he feels hes able to get through to his son most clearly when he and Zach spend time alone together. When its just me and Zach, I can really show him up-close how enraged he should become over the unimportant things in life, said Dalton, highlighting recent instructive one-on-one interactions in which he lashed out at his son for talking during a TV show and for touching the thermostat. My hope is that, one day, Zach will be able to show his own son how to completely freak out at the slightest provocation and then snap at his wife and children. These are important life skills Im passing down to Zach, which hell be able to use nearly every day as he gets older, Dalton continued. And I really look forward to watching him grow into the arbitrary, quick-to-anger man I know hes capable of becoming.

1	Running into the bathroom with armfuls of the fissile material after spotting several United Nations nuclear inspectors approaching for a surprise visit, panicked scientists at Irans Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant reportedly scrambled to flush more than 200 pounds of enriched uranium-235 down the toilet Monday. Uh, uh, just a minuteIm not feeling too well! the facilitys frantic and heavily perspiring chief physicist, Dr. Yadollah Kashani, reportedly shouted through the closed bathroom door in response to several knocks from the U.N. inspectors, as he and his colleagues hurriedly flushed the toilet over and over until it became clogged with nuclear fuel and began to overflow. Um. Ill be out in a sec! Oh, I shouldnt have eaten such spicy food! At press time, a close-mouthed, puffy-cheeked Kashani had sheepishly shuffled out of the bathroom and was answering each of the U.N. inspectors questions by shaking his head yes or no. 
3	Masters of Metal: China, the Rothschild Fix, and the New World CurrencyBy Rusticus As regular consumers of alternative media have likely noticed, Chinas voracious appetite for gold has been reported on ad nauseam in the wake of the 2008 Depression. Endless geopolitical and economic analysts have mused about the implications of Chinese gold accumulation, with most concluding (perhaps prematurely) that some form of gold-backed Yuan is on the horizon. Some extend this scenario further, optimistically declaring that the BRICS NDB (New Development Bank) and AIIB (Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank), led by China, will usher in a New Golden Era of progress and prosperity, spelling the end of the Western model of Central Banking tyranny. The reason for this transfer of precious metals from West to East by the Anglo-American Establishment, these pundits prognosticate, is a simple and tragic combination of incompetence and malfeasance. The aged and corrupt West must end, and in the wake of its destruction, the Phoenix of the East must rise. Does this narrative, however, have any basis in reality when viewed within the context of history? How have institutions traditionally defined as Globalists participated in satiating Chinas gold fever? Is the hand of the Red Shield, infamously and intimately involved in the metals market for over 200 years, at work, even in the East? And what, ultimately, do the answers to these questions spell for the BRICS Saviour meme? To begin answering these questions, we must analyze the history of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and the ignominious Precious Metals Fix that makes it all possible. The (Global) Fix Is In In 2010, the alternative finance community was set ablaze by the revelations of bullion trader turned whistleblower Andrew MacGuire, contending that JPMorgan and HSBC, operating as agents for the Federal Reserve, had suppressed the price of precious metals in an effort to silence the Canary in the Coal Mine amidst unprecedented money printing. By using managed selloffs via algorithmic trading bots, bullion banks drove down the price of electronic/paper metals certificates at the COMEX, effectively capping their price and ultimately driving them down to new 5-year lows. The Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) deemedMacGuires claims credible enough to warrant further investigation; led by Bart Chilton, the CFTCs probe into silver price manipulation ended in September of 2013 with the stunning declaration thatno illegal activity had occurred: Based upon the law and evidence as they exist at this time, there is not a viable basis to bring an enforcement action with respect to any firm or its employees related to our investigation of silver markets. CFTC Statement What many fail to realize is that the CFTCs conclusion istechnicallycorrect. JPMorgan and HSBC were not acting in violation of anylegalstructure; they were, in fact, merely implementing the dictates of the long-standing LBMA Metals Fix: The Opium Wars changed this nearly overnight. Beyond the engineered addiction and mercantile foothold the opium trade gave the East India Companyin China, it also made way for the wholesale looting of Chinas silver wealth: From China, the Company bought tea, silk and porcelain. The Chinese wanted silver in return. Over the next 100 years tea became a very popular drink in England, and there was a fear that too much silver was leaving the country to pay for it. To stop this happening, the Company became involved in a triangular trade by smuggling opium (a highly addictive and illegal drug) from India into China. The Company grew opium in India. They were looking for something that the Chinese would accept instead of silver, to pay for the goods they bought at Canton. Opium was a valued medicine which could deaden pain, assist sleep and reduce stress. But it was also seriously addictive and millions Chinese became dependent on the drug. British Library With China gutted of her material wealth, the Chinese silver standard came to an end in November of 1935, a mere decade before the implementation of the first truly Global Gold Standard, the Bretton Woods agreement. The path was set for a worldwide metals price-fixing mechanism, and the LBMA was more than happy to provide. Front-running the Bretton Woods agreement by decades, the LBMAs own gold fix run by N.M. Rothschild was officially established in 1919: The British analogue to the Council on Foreign Relations, Chatham House, seems to suggest the latter. Chatham House Rule and the Gold-Backed SDR Established in the wake of World War I at the Paris Peace Conference, the Royal Institute of International Affairs was created. Fulfilling the dream of the Last Will and Testament of Cecil Rhodes, the RIIA also birthed its more widely known American outpost, the Council on Foreign Relations. Its headquarters, Chatham House, have become the RIIAs colloquial moniker. The Chatham House Gold Taskforces premier publication, Gold and the International Monetary System, maintains the more typical Newspeak of Globalist documents with its somewhatreserved analysis; its most revealing passages, however, greatly reinforce the thesis already outlined herein. Is there any evidence to suggest that China desires inclusion into the SDR basket? Would they allow the West to use their gold as collateral against the SDR (or something akin to it) as a reserve currency as opposed to the Yuan? Enter stage East. Crouching PBOC, Hidden Bank for International Settlements Meet the latest actor in our twisted drama, Zhou Xiaochuan: Think he can pull it off? Unfortunately for those still steeped in the milieu of the BRICS Saviour Paradigm, I dont think he particularly wants to. He probably never has, as long before Xiaochuan began Chinas purchase of Rothschild fire sale gold via the LBMA, he joined the Board of Directors of the Bank for International Settlements. For readers not yet aware of the specific role the BIS has to play in the Rings Within Rings structure of the Anglo-American Establishment, it is referred to by Georgetown Professor, Globalist insider, and whistleblower Carroll Quigley as the apex of the powers of financial capitalism. The powers of financial capitalism had another 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 banksought 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. Professor Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope It is to this apex which Xiaochuan counts himself as a proud member of, and it is viathis apex which he published his official position on Chinese precious metals, the future of the Yuan, and the SDR. The title of this BIS paper? Reform The International Monetary System,andits vision for the future is virtually identical to that of Chatham House and the Anglo-American Establishment. Xiaochuans damning statements as head of the PBOC and BIS Board Member are not his first documented foray into international financial debauchery. Precious metals researcher and forensic historian Charles Savoie contends that Zhou Xiaochuan had participated in the wholesale liquidation of paper silver contracts at the behest of the LBMA. If true, this would have effectively lowered the price of silver from 2000-2004 in favor of the COMEX pricing mechanism. The Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA)pressed the LBMA on potential silver price manipulation via Chinese silver liquidation, much to the chagrin of Jeffrey Christian of the CPM Group, who referred to Chinas paper silver dumping asa myth.A masterful PR move in providing an alibi of sortsfor Xiaochuans silver manipulation, as the CPM Group is a 1986 spin-off of none other than the criminal banking syndicate known asGoldman Sachs. The same Goldman Sachs that, in 2003, coined the term BRICS and forecast the rise of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa in a paper entitled, Dreaming With BRICs: The Path to 2050.Bear in mind, this is a full four years before the BRICs even existed. But a similar American saying also comes to mind: Dont let the fox inside the hen house. In Closing Has the fog before the eyes of Free Humanity begun to dissipate? Hopefully enough to realize that the BRICS anti-hegemon are no friends of human autonomy. In viewing the BRICS NDBs recent appointments to upper management, the organizations participants are barely distinguishable from World Bank and IMF rosters,and while thecontrolled demolition of Chinas financial crisis just begins to emerge, so, too, will the pre-arranged monetary solution to the woes it shall create, as outlined throughout this article. An end to the Debt and Death paradigm will not come from national, supranational, or hierarchical structures, but from those seeking Freedom themselves. Unparalleled advancements in decentralization of trade and manufacturing. Truly local agricultural independence. Open-source software, not to mention news. Modern pioneers in liberty are already making great strides in these and many other fields, and it is from these men and women which hope springs eternal.

(www.statelesshomesteading.com) I wish I could say, I dont believe this article at all, but it actually puts a few of the pieces together to follow the Globalists end game puzzle. The Rothschilds and the Worlds banking cabal are evil to their core. Glad to know that THE LORD and FATHER is in charge and will exact his judgement in his time.. It is obvious the positions we are relying on to lead our societies in a healthy, honorable and HONEST manner have been infiltrated by the worst of us. We only have ourselves to blame for when this occurs it is OUR (the good men and women of the world) responsibility to remove the corrupt from these positions of power. Referencing the article, I have pondered the rise of different powers being another ploy to sustain the old greed in a new way. All of mankind is at a serious crossroads right now and what we collectively do in the next few years will determine our fate or fortune. The greed that drives current powers, no matter how convincing or intimidating, is a non sustainable form of government and is self defeating not to mention the lack of choice and consent OF the governed being a major problem in society. Small minds speak of things. Mediocre minds talk about people but great minds think of IDEAS. We have outgrown this form of oppression and need to take bold steps toward our true destiny. Our apathy and fear has allowed the parasites and oppressors to grow large and strong and it will take hard work and hard times to undo this, but I see no other way forward and I believe that they (the parasites) themselves see this as well. They have painted themselves in a corner and only have one tool and all problems look like nails to them. There is no future in this path, but we must not let fear cloud our minds for together we can do many great things. And so it begins. The Big Plan is admirably summarised here. http://redefininggod.com/understanding-the-nwo-strategy/ God bless all! Great blog. He always has a very keen eye on the banksters.

An end to the Debt and Death paradigm will not come from national, supranational, or hierarchical structures, but from those seeking Freedom themselves One minor step taken by myself, which seems in many ways to help. I am diligently opposed to handling currency directly. My wife suggests or attains direct deposits, and pays bills via debit card or automatic bill pay from the account. Actually loathe currency and/or money, or the idea it allegedly represents. Honestly see no need in it when if we all shared there are resources enough, and if not we could share in creating ways to ensure they were enough (meaning without genocides, sterilizations, ethnic cleanings, police brutality, war). Do not think, believe or feel Im correct. Merely expressing a bit of view through my eyes, take or leave it as you choose. Excellent research. TPTBs plan for a gold backed global currency first came onto my radar listening to a teleconference by Trilateralist expert Patrick Wood (in 2008, I believe). I dont recall what group he attributed the plan to, but they already had a working name (much like the Amero) for a gold backed global currency incorporating the French or Latin term for gold. If this was a Trilateralist connected group, then the odds are this was not simply the floating of a random proposal given the Trilateralists are less of a think tank and more of a hands on implementation-of-policy cabal. The road map is undeniable at this point. The SDR as the transitional global currency (also confirmed by Wood a number of years ago); followed by a gold backed global digital currency (a historical double think and classic bait and switch); eventually morphing into some kind of resource / energy based credit system in an uber micromanaged dystopia with shades hinted at in Chinas new social credit scoring system = cogs in the machine. I didnt go into this in the article, but we share the same hypothesis, Redwood. Some kind of energy credit scheme will be the Global Currencys final manifestation, but a basket of commodities and currencies with gold at its core seems to make the most sense in this Technocratic transition. Gold is a fixed store of the energy used to mine it. It could even be priced in the hydrocarbon units required to pull out every ounce, depending on who ultimately acquires the final pricing mechanism. I see no reason why the Rothschilds and their ilk would abandon this tool so late in the game, so Im left to assume the multinational Sustainable Developers will have their say in the SDR-esque system to come. Wish Id figured this out back in 2008, too heck, I wish Id known a lot of things about the world in 2008 that I now know! Patrick Wood is a fabulous researcher, makes one wonder what the alt-media sphere would look like today if he and Sutton were still the Dynamic Duo of olde. 
3	Tamiflu: A High Cost of Ineffectiveness?Catherine J. Frompovich As a result of the Cochrane Collaboration and British Medical Journal (BMJ) review published early in April 2014, there is no good evidence that the drugs prevented the spread of the virus between people, or any of its serious consequences, such as infections. It found Tamiflu increased the risk of psychiatric disturbances, renal problems, nausea, vomiting and headaches. [1] Two antiviral drugs were reviewed after four years of trying to get the full records of more than 24,000 research participants from 20 trials of Tamiflu made by Roche and 26 Relenza (made by GlaxoSmithKline) trials. According to The Boston Globe, They found that compared with a placebo, Tamiflu shortened the duration of flu symptoms by a little less than a day on average from 7 to 6.3 days but led to more side effects. These included nausea and vomiting and, in those who took the drugs for weeks to prevent the flu, headaches, kidney problems, and psychiatric conditions such as depression or confusion, according to the findings published Wednesday in the British Medical Journal. Relenza, which is inhaled, had a similar effect on shortening symptoms, with no increased risk of side effects. [2] Dr. Fiona Godlee, editor-in-chief of the BMJ who worked with the Cochrane group to procure full release of the manufacturers trial data, had this to say: This is a situation where the effectiveness of the drugs have been overplayed and the harms underplayed. [2] [CJF emphasis added] The unfortunate part about those two antiviral drugs reviewed is that governments worldwide bought Big Pharma propaganda, science, advertising, and branding information hook, line, and sinkerthat is, they went all out to stockpile them to the tune of billions of dollars. For example: The US spent $1.3 billion on its stockpile of antivirals, while Britain spent 424 million on Tamiflu alone. [1] Australia had spent on Tamiflu and Relenza, but the current value of the stockpile, which includes those drugs as well as other products, was $192 million. [1] USA Today, April 10th edition online, has this to say: Peter Doshi, an assistant professor of pharmaceutical health services research at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy and a co-author of the Cochrane review, says the team focused on the 20 trials because it was more interested in the more rigorous randomized, placebo-controlled research. Many of these 77 trials did not meet that criteria, he says. Im not interested in health scares, Doshi adds. What weve found here are statistically significant increases. Do I know absolutely for certain, without a shadow of a doubt, that Tamiflu is responsible for these (negative effects), based on the trial methodology? No. But what Im seeing here are clear reasons to be concerned and to look into it further. [3] Readers may want to make certain to view the embedded video and interview with Dr. Thomas Jefferson of the Cochrane Collaboration on the USA Today webpage. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/04/09/tamiflu-relenza-study/7478287/ Another of the reviewers, Chris Del Mar, Professor of Public Health at Bond University, Australia, had this to say: What we did thats unusual in this review is we didnt just rely on published data, we realised that this could be biased that the less good data were being withheld in some way. [1] Furthermore, in his paper The Tamiflu Saga Shows Why All Research Data Should Be Public, Professor Del Mar makes some important remarks regarding pharmaceuticals, the review process, and that often its a war of words with lots of public relations. Below are some of Del Mars sentiments. Probably the most remarkable statement Professor Del Mar made in his paper is this: The whole rigmarole has two implications. First, we still remain in some doubt about the effectiveness of Tamiflu for preventing influenza complications. This matters because it was the prime reason the world armed itself with warehouses of Tamiflu under the threat of pandemic influenza in 2009. Roche sold literally billions of dollars worth of Tamiflu for this singular reason. But has the world been sold a pup? Until the trials are openly released for scrutiny, its impossible for us, the world, the purchasers of this drug, to know. Second, the implications are far beyond just Tamiflu. Until recently, the world had adopted the randomised controlled trial as the benchmark test for treatments. But there are clearly some problems with this. One of these problems is the partial release of trial data (effected [sic] by selective publishing) that will help the sales of a commercial drug or device. We are concerned that this might have happened in this instance, even though the drug company in question had declared (several times, including originally in 2009) that it will provide all the data we need. [4] Professor Del Mar contends the above scientific sinfulness can be corrected by mandating that all clinical trials be registered. Theres a campaign to do just that; its called Alltrials http://www.alltrials.net/. What this writer would like to point out in view of the above information, is that selective publishing and other tricks are employed to get pharmaceuticals approved, especially vaccines which are sacred cows no one seems to want to investigate. Additionally, there is another sacred cow; its in the chemical industry specifically GMOs, genetically modified organisms, which have become food crops. Monsanto, Dow, Pioneer, Aventis, Mycogen, and Syngenta produce Bt-crops, in particular, that have been designated by the U.S. EPA as PESTICIDES! Humans and animals eat those crops and their byproducts as supposedly healthful food and/or food processing ingredients. Dont believe that? See this EPA listing PIP [Plant Incorporated Protectants / Pesticides] Registrations http://www.epa.gov/opp00001/biopesticides/pips/pip_list.htm Furthermore, theres an unanswered question regarding Bt-GMOs. Can or do humans grow Bacillus thuringiensis in their intestinal tracts after eating fresh Bt-corn-on-the-cob! Moreover, Professor Del Mar went on to say, Cochrane reviews are helpful to clinicians, especially when different trials on the same topic provide different answers. However, that does not hold true for the U.S. FDA, which, in this writers opinion, disregards most of what Cochrane reviews find and point out. FDA carelessly sticks with U.S. Big Pharmas fudged science, I contend. Tamiflu should be another wakeup call that, apparently, everyone in federal health agencies has tendencies to ignore. That has to be stopped by the U.S. Congress who has oversight over the FDA. Tamiflu and Neuropsychatric Disturbances in Adolescents The British Medical Journal published a paper with that title in June of 2007 wherein a report was made that Japanese health authorities had advised against prescribing oseltamivir (Tamiflu) to adolescents ages 10 to 19 years due to two 14-year-olds who jumped to their deaths with taking the antiviral drug. Furthermore, 52 other deaths, including 14 children or adolescents, also were associated with that same drug. I should note that Japan recently has gone on record as not recommending the HPV vaccines and that further investigation is needed before it can. Japan has invoked and used the Precautionary Principle [5] in both cases, something USA health agencies dismiss totally, in my opinion, as they consider vaccines as dogmatically safe. Other adverse effects from oseltamivir include: raised liver enzymes, hepatitis, serious skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome [6], and erythema multiforme [7]. Oseltamivir Side Effects According to the maker of Tamiflu, Genetech/Roche [8], heres important information to know about the antiviral drug, which readers ought to save. Note that changes in behavior, especially children, such as confusion, speech problems, shaky movements, seizures, hearing voices or seeing things that are not there (hallucinations) after taking Tamiflu need to be reported to your doctor immediately and stop taking the antiviral drug. Here is other important information for healthcare consumers to know about Tamiflu that indicate you may not be a candidate for taking Tamiflu: Pandemic Pandemonium Readers undoubtedly will recall that the 2009 Swine flu (H1N1) pandemic did not pan out; it was a dud, despite all the fear-mongering about it. According to Gretchen Michael of the U.S. Health and Human Services, heres the official HHS word in response to The Boston Globes inquiry: In future pandemic responses, HHS purchases of antiviral drugs and vaccines will be based on risk-benefit analyses using all product safety and efficacy and disease severity and transmission data available at that time. [2] Sounds like nothing new or an anticipated change as a result of the latest information from the Cochrane Collaborative and the BMJ. Just like I said earlier, FDA tends to disregard the Cochrane reviews. Whats a Person to Do? There are other resources for dealing with the flu bug. First and foremost, eat healthfully and get rid of all junk foods, sweets, candy, sodas, and starchy edibles from your dietary. Disease organisms latch on to and thrive in an acidic inner-body environment. The edibles just mentioned turn to an acidic ash when eaten/digested so thats a big clue about how to keep from catching colds and the flu. Second, know that there are homeopathic remedies that deal effectively with flu. Become acquainted with them and get in a fresh supply. Check out this resource and become acquainted. Third, consider Natures equivalent to Tamiflu: Elderberry extract. For starters, check out Elderberry Trumps Tamiflu for Flu Remedy. Another natural remedy is star anise that can be made into tea. According to National Geographic, star anise is used to make Tamiflu! Who knew? The eight-pointed seedpods are harvested and dried before Roches extraction process yields shikimic acid for Tamiflu. Just 2.2 pounds (1 kilogram) of acid is produced from every 66 pounds (30 kilograms) of pods, according to Roches Web site. [9] The antiviral drugs that were reviewed should be a wakeup call for every healthcare consumer, healthcare safety advocate, Big Pharma, its scientists and researchers, the U.S. HHS/CDC/FDA, and Congress. Vaccine safety advocates have been trying to warn everyone, but no one wants to listen and face the music that Big Pharma produces pseudoscience, which CDC and FDA gobble up like ice cream on a stick. The really sad part is that Congress goes along with it. The take-away lesson from all this is that healthcare consumers truly need to stop believing advertising and public relations campaigns in the media, including paid Pharma shills, and investigate the real science about anything you put into your body as food, water, medicine, vaccines, and recreational drugs. There are consequences.

2	Why Michelle Obama Was Kicked Out Of A Childrens Hospital [VIDEO] According to recent reports, a visit to St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital in Memphis has a group of American families outraged. The visit caused a disruption in hospital services, and a restriction on who may enter the facility to visit their sick or dying children. As if that wasnt bad enough, the First Ladys plane was delayed over an hour due to a maintenance issue, leaving many people waiting on her so that they could see their children. One mother, Katrina Deville, posted the following message on her Facebook page: Gotta love this!!! Farrah had an appointment to get a blood transfusion today at 1 pm well at 8 am we got a phone call telling us that the medicine/ER is going to be closed today so we have to reschedule her appointment to get a BLOOD TRANSFUSION because the 1st lady Michelle Obama along with secret service and media are here touring the hospital. I couldnt believe this but they also dont want us posting on our Social Network sites about whats going on. They did a complete renovation of the hospital for her arrival (I wonder who paid for all of thee new furniture, extra security, landscaping, and fancy food items they had in the cafe today)We were even told that if Farrah were able to come in today that only one of us would be able to go wit her. Farrahs mother was not alone in her complaints. Several other St. Judes parents took to social media to complain about the distressing incident. What do you think of Michelles visit? What would you have done if your child was in the hospital she was visiting? 
3	DARPAs new cheap robot is capable of changing apparent shape, color, temperature and moreMadison Ruppert, Contributor Along with the DARPA-funded miniature spy computer known as the Falling or Ballistically-launched Object that Makes Backdoors (F-BOMB), this robot very well could be produced for less than $100 per unit with costs going down even further over time. The robot, which is part of the Maximum Mobility and Manipulation (M3) program, is around the size of an average persons palm and can be seen in motion in the below video provided by DARPA: It utilizes microfluidic networks to create the astounding changes which even can be changed simultaneously in the visible and infrared a capability that organisms do not have. These strategies begin to imitate the functions, although not the anatomies, of color-changing animals, according to Science. The research is being performed at Harvard Universitys Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering under Drs. George Whitesides and Stephen Morin while the funding is coming from DARPA. The researchers have demonstrated that microfluidic channels can be used in soft robots for a range of functions from camouflage to display, actuation to fluid transport and temperature regulation. One of the most remarkable aspects of this technology is the incredibly low cost compared to the costs usually associated with robotics. The silicone-based robots utilize a manufacturing method which leverages the power of molds and the microfluidic channels are created by introducing many narrow channels into the mold. These channels allow various fluids as well as air to be pumped through the robot thus changing color, shape, temperature and even produce a glow through chemiluminescence. However, the most vital function of these small passages is the ability to create movement through the pneumatic pressurization and inflation of the channels in a coordinated fashion. DARPA is developing a suite of robots that draw inspiration from the ingenuity and efficiency of nature, said DARPA program manager for M3, Gill Pratt. For defense applications, ingenuity and efficiency are not enoughrobotic systems must also be cost effective. This novel robot is a significant advance towards achieving all three goals, Pratt added. At this point, what seems to be the biggest drawback to this technology is the relative slow speed of travel with a maximum of 67 meters per hour, or around 0.04163 miles per hour. DARPA has said that they will continue to focus on making the movements more smooth but they did state that the speed of the robots movement is secondary to the flexibility and ability to maneuver in tight spaces. As you can see in the above video, the researchers used a tethered option for the robot which has the power source and control system outside of the robot itself. Leaving the pumps and power source outside of the robot significantly reduces the size and weight of the robot but future iterations of the technology could very well have the equipment onboard the robot itself, making it an entirely self-contained system. Of course in an attempt to make it seem like this is a project which will somehow benefit us all instead of just the parasitic defense industry and the military, they claim that this technology could have medical applications as well. Aside from their potential tactical value, DARPA said soft robots with microfluidic channels could also have medical applications, writes Government Security News. The devices could simulate fluid vessels and muscle motion for realistic modeling or training, and may be used in prosthetic technology. Indeed, DARPA has worked on some quite impressive prosthetic technology in the past, but to think of DARPA as anything but a research and development arm of the Pentagon is clearly absurd. DARPA is and always will be tasked, first and foremost, with providing the military with some of the most unbelievable technology on Earth. I believe that any claims to the contrary are just a sorry attempt to justify the massive sustained expenditures devoted to the shadowy agency.

1	NBC play-by-play announcer Al Michaels interrupted the broadcast of the Steelers-Colts game Sunday to ask color commentator Cris Collinsworth if they could talk about something other than football for once. Cris, cant we just change the subject for once and have a real discussion about something that matters? said Michaels, adding that he was sick of dull topics such as dominant NFL teams or how the Steelers should use Rashard Mendenhall in short-yardage situations. I want to talk like normal men. Hows your wife? Whats your favorite piece of literature? Lets discuss remodeling projects, childhood memories, or the best weekend trips. After a short deliberation, Michaels and Collinsworth finally agreed to drop the subject of football and instead talk about the Kansas City Chiefs. 
1	Area pedophile Dwight Sanderson said Monday that his interest in getting to know and eventually meeting MySpace.com member 'Courtneee' has significantly declined after a closer read of the 'lame' hobbies and 'self-involved' blog entries on the 13-year-old's profile. Pedophile Dwight Sanderson plods through the tedious details of 13-year-old Courtneee's profile. According to Sanderson, 47, Courtneee's picture caught his eye while he was searching the Judson Middle School MySpace community and found her 'Gemini_diva' page. 'At first, she seemed like my type of girlinnocent-looking, single, and, best of all, she lives right nearby,' he said. Sanderson continued: 'Her profile seemed very enticing at first. She plays softball in the same park that I always hang around in. But right before I was going to leave her a private message, I decided to check out her latest blog post.' He said the 1,500-word entry 'droned on and on' about everything from dealing with her great-grandmother's death last year to hopes for her new job as class treasurer. 'I'm looking for a cell-phone number and a home address, not your life story,' he said. Though admittedly discouraged, Sanderson, who classifies himself as 'not very picky,' said he still hoped that Courtneee could play a small, fleeting part in his future. 'I'm an optimist, even though I've been burned by girls like Courtneee in the past. You think you know everything about themtheir dark secrets, their heroes, their class schedulebut they end up betraying your confidence and talking about your relationship behind your back to any authority figure who'll listen,' Sanderson said. Sanderson pointed out several other 'red flags' in Courtneee's profile, including 'pathetic, almost obsessive' blog entries about her ex-crush, the fact that her 'Interests and Personality' section mentions that she might want to have children someday, and her terrible taste in movies. 'I'm used to getting involved with younger, less mature women, but she's got the sense of humor of an 8-year-old,' Sanderson said. 'I can't bring myself to pretend to like 50 First Dates, even to establish a base of shared interests, build rapport, and eventually earn her complete trust.' 'Also, one of her friends left a recent comment accusing her of being a 'big-mouth who likes to spread rumors,'' Sanderson added. 'I can't tell you how big a turnoff that is for me.' According to Sanderson, the most discouraging revelation came when he viewed Courtneee's 'More Pics' section, in which she reportedly looks 'way older' than she does in her featured front-page photo. 'When I saw the other pictures, I was like, 'How old is this girl, 15?'' Sanderson said. 'In these pictures, she had braces, acne, noticeable breastsnothing like the baby-faced little girl she appeared to be on her main page. She probably hasn't updated that picture in a year and a half.' Though he made a legally binding promise to himself and law-enforcement officials that he would never pursue another relationship like this, Sanderson says he nonetheless plans to 'give it a shot.' 'Internet dating can be risky,' he said, 'but at my age, and their age, it's really the only way.' 
1	After taking the time to open and sort through all of their wedding gifts Thursday, newly married Chinese couple Li Zhang and Yue Xu were reportedly at a loss as to what they were supposed to do with the dozens of bottles of medicinal bear bile they received. I dont know what were going to do with all this bear bilethis is way more than two people could possibly use, said Yue, who confirmed that friends and family also left them with half a dozen deer penises, several gallons of turtle blood, and nearly 10 pounds of ox gallstones. And we said we wanted just one tiger claw, but we got five. We appreciate the thought, but only one of us has insomnia. As of press time, a cousin who missed the ceremony was reportedly arranging to send a crate of flying squirrel feces before the one-year grace period on wedding presents expired. 
3	As the Fantasy Dies: Panic Will EnsueMac Slavo Its often the case that, despite countless warnings from those considered to be fringe lunatics, the vast majority of the populace is blindsided by horrific, paradigm-altering events. The signs are almost always there, but people simply refuse to believe it can happen to them. It always happens somewhere else, and we get to watch it play out on television from the comfort of our living rooms. But, as financial guru and strategic investor Bill Fleckenstein points out in the following highly insightful interview with King World News, Americas fantasy of unlimited borrowing, consumption and confidence will soon be revealed for the sham that it really is. And when the masses realize what has happened that the government and Federal reserve are trapped and the great unwind finally begins it will lead to nothing short of widespread panic on a level never before seen. And this time, itll be right outside of our front doors. Right now, people continue to believe that the same idiots that created all of these problems, namely the central banks, are going to somehow get us out of it with the exact same policies that got us into it, only at a much higher (aggressive) level of pursuing those policies. Weve had so much artificial stimulus, and weve misallocated so much capital. And over the couple of decades weve been doing this weve kind of broken the economy and the financial system. So, I dont think you can worry about whats on the other side. We havent even gotten people to understand the charade that we have. [] The longer you keep pursuing insane policies, the more you pile (them) on top of each other, the worse it gets So, when the Fed cant print money and we have to deal with this, its going to be brutal. [] The fact of the matter is Americans, in the aggregate, dont see any reason to own metal. They believe in the lunatics at the Fed, and the rest of the Western world is that way (as well). Obviously Asia doesnt quite see it that way. But its understandable why the average American doesnt buy gold If they believe in a fantasy, why would they need it? As the fantasy dies, then they will understand the need to own gold. Via King World News: Full Interview As an investment adviser and strategist, Fleckenstein obviously focuses his dialogue on the financial and economic, and in this case the asset that would protect his investors from the disaster that is coming. This is not to say, however, that he is solely recommending gold as the only crisis-proof investment. Read between the lines and if you understand the need to own gold in this environment it means you also understand why precious metals will soar in value during a crisis. Likewise, you would no doubt understand that should gold and silver skyrocket in price, so too will other essential assets. When the US dollar is crushed by our foreign creditors and our government can no longer support the 100 million Americans dependent on electronic government benefits to put food on the table or keep a roof over their heads, it is then that the whole system as we have come to know it goes into meltdown, complete with panic, looting, and emergency intervention under the banner of martial law. Gold and silver are just one of numerous asset classes you should stockpile in your preparedness portfolio. A well-developed crisis plan should also include other key investments such as long-term food storage, home defense tools, arable land andbarterable trade skills. As those around you come to the realization that their world has been built on pillars of fantasy, commerce comes to a standstill and stability turns to pandemonium, those with the foresight to have insulated themselves from the worst will have, at the very least, a fighting chance. Prepare for panic. Its coming. Read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com where this first appeared. 
3	West Seeks to Perpetuate Syrian BloodbathFriends of Syria summit in Istanbul seeks means of rehabilitating, rearming, and redeploying hobbled terrorist proxies. Note: Much of this report is based on James Corbetts recent presentation, R2P or: How the Left Learned to Stop Worrying and Embrace Wars of Imperial Aggression. Even with violence ebbing across Syria as order is restored, Kofi Annan is still attempting to peddle a peace deal between the Syrian government and militants demanding Syrian troops be withdrawn from cities just recaptured from terrorist forces. And as Annan seeks a reprieve for remaining militant forces, the West is meeting in neighboring Turkey, devising a method to rearm and redeploy them in order to reignite and perpetuate the bloodshed they claim they are trying to prevent. More specifically, BBC reports in their article titled, Syria crisis debated at Istanbul talks, that ways are being explored to step up pressure on the Syrian regime and bolster the opposition. The report also makes mention of calls to arm the opposition. There is also funding being given by the West and the Arab League to literally pay terrorist to get back into the fight. Surely, placing pressure on a government that has just restored order across the country, while bolstering and arming the opposition will only trigger yet another round of bloodshed and violence. Indeed the entire premise of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine follows that if a nation is incapable of providing protection for its own population, it relinquishes its sovereignty to direct intervention by the international community. Should such a nation manage to restore order, however, the R2P doctrine along with the meddling it justifies and the window for regime change it opens no longer applies. Knowing this, and realizing the window for forcing regime change in Syria is closing, the West is actually seeking ways to perpetuate the bloodbath, not end it, until their objective of removing President Bashar al-Assad has been achieved revealing in incredible detail the insidious nature of the so-called humanitarian R2P model. Setting the Stage for R2P in Syria Years before unrest unfolded in Syria, the West had determined it would overthrow its government and replace it with a suitable client regime. In 2002, Syria was officially added to Americas Axis of Evil, and according to US Army General Wesley Clark during a 2007 speech, was one of many Arab regimes targeted for regime change. As early as 2001 R2P doctrine was being devised (.pdf) to use conditions of violent unrest as a pretext to intervene militarily in a any given nation, destroy it politically as well as literally, then rebuild a neo-liberal, globalist client state upon the rubble. As early as 2008, the US State Department began training armies of activists to then be sent back to their respective nations across the Arab World and induce violent unrest. In an April 2011 AFP report, Michael Posner, the assistant US Secretary of State for Human Rights and Labor, stated that the US government has budgeted $50 million in the last two years to develop new technologies to help activists protect themselves from arrest and prosecution by authoritarian governments. The report went on to explain that the US organized training sessions for 5,000 activists in different parts of the world. A session held in the Middle East about six weeks ago gathered activists from Tunisia, Egypt, Syria and Lebanon who returned to their countries with the aim of training their colleagues there, (emphasis added). Posner would add, They went back and theres a ripple effect. That ripple effect of course is the Arab Spring, and in Syrias case, the impetus for the current unrest threatening to unhinge the nation and invite in foreign intervention using the R2P model. R2P -DOA Despite years of preparing R2P to become an institutionalized mechanism for quickly justifying and executing regime change, almost immediately when it was first rolled out against Libya, it was met with resistance, skepticism, and criticism. Claims of peaceful protesters being brutalized by Qaddafis troops quickly collapsed as it became known these protesters were heavily armed terrorists hailing from the US State Department listed Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG). Instead of carrying placards as the corporate-media suggested, they were brandishing machines guns, driving tanks, and even at one point piloting fighter jets. Despite the obvious inconsistencies with the alleged narrative justifying R2P and the realities unfolding on the ground, the West through its military alliance NATO began its military intervention to protect civilians. NATOs military campaign from the beginning, however, did not protect civilians, but instead provided air support for rebel assaults, intelligence and special operations assistance to rebel military units, and carried the systematic targeting and destroying of Qaddafis political inner circle which included bombing the homes of Qaddafis family, killing his children and his grandchildren in NATO airstrikes. Toward the end of the campaign, NATO assisted rebels in besieging Libyan cities, including Bani Walid and Sirte. This included shutting off water, electricity, food, and aid and literally starving out city residence while NATO pounded them from the air until they capitulated. In the case of Sirte, the city fought until the bitter end leaving absolute desolation. Other cities targeted included Tawarga in which the entire population of 10,000 was either exterminated or permanently exiled. Clearly NATO made a cruel mockery out of the Responsibility to Protect doctrine, using it to visit catastrophic horrors upon the Libyan people, overturning a unifying national government, plunging the entire nation into division and chaos where now bands of genocidal racists roam the country carrying out horrific and systematic atrocities while other armed militias battle each other daily as the nation is carved up into competing fiefdoms. The government in Tripoli installed by NATO after the fall of Qaddafi is currently headed by BP, Shell, and Total-funded Petroleum Institute chairman Abdurrahim el-Keib. Before el-Keib even came to power, provisional rebel leaders had already begun pawning off national assets to French, Qatari, British, and American corporations. Syrias Turn Any doubt that R2P was a contrived geopolitical ploy designed solely to veil the hegemonic ambitions of globalist oligarchs was laid to rest in the rubble of Libyas grotesque dismemberment. And despite this doctrines legitimacy collapsing, it has been quickly arrayed against Syria next. As in Libya, Syrias protesters are in fact a mix of armed Syrian militants, foreign fighters, and terrorists provided a constant torrent of weapons and funding from NATO and its junior partners amongst the Arab League. The unrest purposefully stoked by the West to put R2P options on the table is coordinated with the corporate media which spins the chaos in a lopsided fashion, portraying the violence as the Syrian government callously slaughtering civilians. Such tactics have already been used and exposed during the Libyan war, and like R2P itself seem to be collapsing upon their tenuous foundations. And despite all of this, there are still calls for R2P in Syria. One article out of the Christian Science Monitor titled, Responsibility to protect: the moral imperative to intervene in Syria, sees lawyer and former USAID official James Rudolph lecture his audience as if talking to children about the need to intervene in Syria, as if the last year of NATO-facilitated atrocities in Libya didnt happen. We are brought right back to the beginning, with Western powers convening in Turkey faced with a Syrian government restoring order and taking R2P options off the table. The lies used to sell R2P to the public, the lies still being used by the likes of Rudolph in the Christian Science Monitor, begin to ring particularly hallow as the West lays out plans to purposefully prolong the bloody conflict in Syria. The corporate-financier funded US policy think-tank Brookings Institution in their Middle East Memo #21 Assessing Options for Regime Change (.pdf), literally says in reference to arming Syrian militants, alternatively, the United States might calculate that it is still worthwhile to pin down the Asad regime and bleed it, keeping a regional adversary weak, while avoiding the costs of direct intervention. The same Brookings Institution in another report titled Assessing Options for Regime Change would admit Kofi Annans mission to Syria is not to broker a peace deal, but rather to facilitate the establishment of safe havens from which the Wests campaign of destabilization can be continued: An alternative is for diplomatic efforts to focus first on how to end the violence and how to gain humanitarian access, as is being done under Annans leadership. This may lead to the creation of safe-havens and humanitarian corridors, which would have to be backed by limited military power. This would, of course, fall short of U.S. goals for Syria and could preserve Asad in power. From that starting point, however, it is possible that a broad coalition with the appropriate international mandate could add further coercive action to its efforts. page 4, Assessing Options for Regime Change, Brookings Institution. Not only is it obvious that Western leaders are currently plotting in Turkey to carry out Brookings directives, but also that these goals, as they did in Libya, run contra to any conceivable interpretation of the Responsibility to Protect doctrine. When we consider that the 2001 document, The Responsibility to Protect, published by the ad hoc International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS) consisted of members of the Fortune 500-funded International Crisis Group (Fidel Ramos, Cyril Ramaphosa), the Lowy Institute, the Council on Foreign Relations, and members of both Western governments and armed forces the decade-arcing plot to disguise a global blitzkrieg of naked military conquest as a series of humanitarian interventions becomes painfully clear. The very corporations behind the development of the R2P doctrine allowing for the vicious dismemberment of Libya, are the same corporations now plundering its wealth and preparing to role it into their global hegemonic empire. It seems Syria is next and the powers that be are not concerned that their fig leaf of legitimacy has been take into the wind. Beyond that, they eye the world Africa, South America, Southeast Asia, Russia and China and their peripheries unless we as individuals identify these corporations and find the resolve to boycott and permanently replace them. The power theyve used to wreak havoc across the planet is a direct result of we the people paying our monthly paychecks into their corporations and institutions. The key to undoing this unwarranted influence is to stop feeding this monster our money, time, energy, and attention.

1	Despite being on a panel to discuss his foundation's contributions to Parkinson's research, actor Michael J. Fox reluctantly fielded a question Sunday about how the hoverboard sequence in the film Back To The Future Part II was filmed. 'Um, well, we mostly used a system of pulleys to move us forward and back,' said Fox, who since being diagnosed with Parkinson's has worked tirelessly to find a cure for the degenerative disease. 'Anyway, much like the hoverboard got me where I wanted to go in Back To The Future, let's get back to what I was saying about translational research, which will get all of us where we want to go to in order to beat Parkinson's.' Fox was later asked if his new book Always Looking Up: The Adventures Of An Incurable Optimist had any further information about Griff's jet-propelled 'Pit Bull' hoverboard. 
3	The Bitter End Of The Savings AccountJeff Berwick Cyprus made headlines with what was called a bank bail-in in 2013 and Ireland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland and Italy have allstolenfunds from retirement accounts. The European Union has even said that it reserves the right to steal directly from European savers in the form of negative interest rates. All of this has been perfectly predictable in the march to The End Of The Monetary System As We Know It (TEOTMSAWKI). Its time now to add two more countries to that list: Australia and Belgium. AUSTRALIA STEALING DORMANT ACCOUNTS? In 2014 the Australian federal government has seized a record $360 million from bank accounts that have sat untouched for only three years, putting the concept of savings into new light. Some of the accounts were worth millions. Before a change in the law, the government had to wait seven years before stealing the money from accounts. This rule change has been a windfall for the government as it collected more money from January-May this year than it did in the past five decades combined. Between 1959 and 2012 the government had pilfered $330 million. We have grandparents who put money aside for their grandkids future and farmers who have set aside money for a rainy day, but it was transferred to the government, Mr Munchenberg told Fairfax Media. Australia is not the only nation beset by an out of control mafia (government), as we cover here daily in The Dollar Vigilante Blog. BELGIUM STEALING DIRECT FROM DEPOSITS In Belgium at the beginning of the month thousands of savers saw their accounts shaved by the government. An excerpt from a Belgian newspaper reads: Many people, however, say they never even made a gain on the fund. THE END OF THE SAVINGS ACCOUNT Remember the old saying, put your money away and forget about it. Well, dont do that! Cash-strapped governments all over the world are doing everything they can to push the default-can farther down the road and they have not shied away from stealing money directly from their own tax slaves. These recent events only underscore the truth that your money is not safe in the western markets and is prone to being stolen at any moment. The stories are too numerous too ignore. If your funds are in bank accounts in countries with bankrupt governments you have to make a change today, before it is too late. By opening up an offshore account and incorporating outside of the western world, you could be saving yourself from the ultimate nightmare: waking up to find your savings stolen by an egregious, dangerous government. And, even that is not being safe enough. A wise person would have a significant amount of their assets in hard assets that can not be counterfeited into worthlessness by central banks or stolen by thieving governments including precious metals and foreign real estate. And if you havent looked into bitcoin as a means to hold some of your funds outside of the statist financial system, with the ability to transfer anytime, anywhere, for free around the world sans government pirating, nows the time.The Dollar Vigilante (TDV) newsletter covers all these issues and how to internationalize your assets on a regular basis. Instead of wondering if youll be the next victim, take the measures you must in order to survive and prosper after the savings account is no more. Have any questions or comments?

3	Security Council Authorizes 300 Syrian MonitorsStephen Lendman, Contributor Russia pushed hard for compromise language. An initial US-urged EU draft was one-sided. A provision Moscow rejected involved invoking Article 41 of the UN Charter. It states: The Security Council may decide what measures not involving the use of armed force are to be employed to give effect to its decisions, and it may call upon the Members of the United Nations to apply such measures. These may include complete or partial interruption of economic relations and of rail, sea, air, postal, telegraphic, radio, and other means of communication, severance of diplomatic relations. Its a short leap to Article 42, stating: Should the Security Council consider that measures provided for in Article 41 would be inadequate or have proved to be inadequate, it may take such action by air, sea, or land forces as may be necessary to maintain or restore international peace and security. Such action may include demonstrations, blockade, and other operations by air, sea, or land forces of Members of the United Nations. Explicit language is excluded, but implies war. Washingtons itching for another one. Resolution 2043 isnt perfect. It falls short of full even-handedness. Provision 2 (c)alls upon the Syrian government to implement visibly its commitments in their entirety, as it agreed to do in the Preliminary Understanding and as stipulated in resolution 2042 (2012), to (a) cease troop movements towards population centres, (b) cease all use of heavy weapons in such centres, (c) complete pullback of military concentrations in and around population centres, as well as to withdraw its troops and heavy weapons from population centres to their barracks or temporary deployment places to facilitate a sustained cessation of violence. Provision 3 (c)alls upon all parties in Syria, including the opposition, immediately to cease all armed violence in all its forms. Note the difference between provision 2 and 3 language. The former is hardline and detailed. The latter seems almost an afterthought. It excludes Turkey providing border area safe havens. Free Syrian Army insurgents use them to stage cross-border attacks. They return to launch new ones. Daily, the process repeats. Provision 8 burdens Assad with full implementation responsibility. It calls on him to ensure the effective operation of UNSMIS by: facilitating the expeditious and unhindered deployment of its personnel and capabilities as required to fulfil its mandate; ensuring its full, unimpeded, and immediate freedom of movement and access as necessary to fulfil its mandate, underlining in this regard the need for the Syrian government and the United Nations to agree rapidly on appropriate air transportation assets for UNSMIS; allowing its unobstructed communications; and allowing it to freely and privately communicate with individuals throughout Syria without retaliation against any person as a result of interaction with UNSMIS. Provision 9 merely calls on the parties to guarantee the safety of UNSMIS personnel without prejudice to its freedom, but places the primary responsibility on Assad. Hes committed to comply with all provisions, but cant control insurgent behavior. Only Washington, key NATO partners, and regional allies can do it. They could end violence today and provide no need for monitors. They refuse because regime change plans depend on it. With or without monitors, expect it to continue. It makes Provision 14 more worrisome. Like SC Resolution 2042 authorizing deployment of an advance military observer team, it mandates consideration of unspecified further steps as appropriate. Doing so could provide wiggle room for war. Therein lies the problem. On April 19, the Christian Science Monitor headlined, Leon Panetta: US military planning for greater role in Syria conflict, saying: In testimony before the House Armed Services Committee, he said Pentagon officials are reviewing and planning for a range of additional measures that may be necessary to protect the Syrian people. Libyas model is considered a potential intervention template. He suggested employing similar steps in Syria. More must be done, he stressed. Make no mistake, he added. (O)ne way or another, this regime ultimately will meet its end. Syrian National Council (SNC) and Free Syrian Army members openly urge Western intervention. On April 21, an SNC statement said: We call anew on the U.N. Security Council to act with all urgency to intervene militarily to bring an end to the crimes committed by the bloody regime against the unarmed Syrian people. On April 19, Free Syrian Army leaders urged military intervention with or without UN authorization. On April 20, Todays Zaman headlined, Clinton urges tougher UN pressure on Syria, saying: Among other steps, she called for implementing UN Charters Chapter 7: Action with Respect to Threats to the Peace, Breaches of the Peace, and Acts of Aggression. Specifically, she wants tougher sanctions, an arms embargo, and other unspecified measures on Assad. She stopped short of endorsing military intervention, but suggested it, saying: We have to keep Assad off balance by leaving (all) options on the table. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon implied support, saying: Despite the governments agreement to cease all violence, we still see deeply troubling evidence that it continues. The past few days, in particular, have brought reports of renewed and escalating violence, including the shelling of civilian areas, grave abuses by government forces and attacks by armed groups. Assad gets blamed for insurgency violence. It continues daily. Monitors wont change things. Of concern is wholl choose them? Will they be independent or mostly pro-Western? Will their reports be even-handed, or what Washington wants to hear? Moroccan Colonel Ahmed Himmische heads them. Moroccos part of the Arab League anti-Assad coalition. Its monarchy replicates Bahrains. King Mohammed VI likely endorsed Himmisches appointment. How much say he has over other monitors remains to be seen, but his voice will be loudest. Sudanese General Mohammed Ahmed Mustafa al-Dabi headed the December/February observer team until Arab League officials suspended operations. Al-Dabis candor caused the pullout. He contested a Western-generated insurgency. His assessments werent what Washington wanted to hear. Himmische likely assures no repeat. Monitors may be compromised before arriving. One-sided reports may follow. Pressure will increase for tougher measures. Expect Western intervention to follow with or without UN authorization. Pretexts are easy to arrange. Any number of scenarios are possible. Invoking NATO Charter Articles 4 or 5 are possible. Article 4 calls for members to consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence, or security of any is threatened. Article 5 considers an armed attack (real or otherwise) against one or more members, an attack against all, and calls for collective self-defense. Turkey threatened to invoke it. Hillary Clinton suggested Article 4. War draws closer. Monitors may be an intermediary step. Washington and key ally plans may be in place. Whether Russia and/or China contest remains unknown. They have vital reasons for doing so. The worst ahead is possible. As developments unfold, future articles will assess them.

3	Your Cell Phone Makes You A Prisoner Of A Digital World Where Virtually Anyone Can Hack You And Track YouMichael Snyder, Contributor The truth is that by using a cell phone, you willingly make yourself a prisoner of a digital world where every move that you make and every conversation that you have is permanently recorded. But it is not just cell phone companies and government agencies that you have to worry about. As you will see at the end of this article, it is incredibly easy for any would-be stalker to hack you and track your every movement using your cell phone. In fact, many spyware programs allow hackers to listen to you through your cell phone even when your cell phone is turned off. Sadly, most cell phone users have absolutely no idea about any of this stuff. The next time that you get a notice from your cell phone company about changes to the privacy policy, you might want to play close attention. Your cell phone company might be about to sell off your most personal information to anyone that is willing to write a big enough check. The following is from a recent CNN article. Your phone company knows where you live, what websites you visit, what apps you download, what videos you like to watch, and even where you are. Now, some have begun selling that valuable information to the highest bidder. In mid-October, Verizon Wireless changed its privacy policy to allow the company to record customers location data and Web browsing history, combine it with other personal information like age and gender, aggregate it with millions of other customers data, and sell it on an anonymous basis. We just dont know. But we do know that local law enforcement agencies all over the country are increasingly using cell phone data to nail suspects, and often it is the cell phone companies that are the ones selling them the cell phone data that they need. According to a recent New York Times article, many local police departments are doing this without getting a warrant first. Law enforcement tracking of cellphones, once the province mainly of federal agents, has become a powerful and widely used surveillance tool for local police officials, with hundreds of departments, large and small, often using it aggressively with little or no court oversight. That same article says that cell phone companies have standard prices that they charge to local law enforcement officials for information that they request. Cell carriers, staffed with special law enforcement liaison teams, charge police departments from a few hundred dollars for locating a phone to more than $2,200 for a full-scale wiretap of a suspect. So if you are breaking the law, your cell phone may be used to gather evidence and to track you down. In the United States, cell phone companies are required by law to be able to pinpoint the locations of their customers to within 100 meters. So if you are a criminal, your cell phone could be leading the police right to you even as you are reading this article. Sometimes the police dont even use the cell phone companies. Recently, the Wall Street Journal ran an article that discussed the capabilities of the stingray devices that many local law enforcement agencies are using now. A stingray device acts like a cell phone tower and it can gather any information that a normal cell phone tower can. The following is how a recent Wired article described these stingrays. You make a call on your cellphone thinking the only thing standing between you and the recipient of your call is your carriers cellphone tower. In fact, that tower your phone is connecting to just might be a boobytrap set up by law enforcement to ensnare your phone signals and maybe even the content of your calls. So-called stingrays are one of the new high-tech tools that authorities are using to track and identify you. The devices, about the size of a suitcase, spoof a legitimate cellphone tower in order to trick nearby cellphones and other wireless communication devices into connecting to the tower, as they would to a real cellphone tower. The government maintains that the stingrays dont violate Fourth Amendment rights, since Americans dont have a legitimate expectation of privacy for data sent from their mobile phones and other wireless devices to a cell tower. Isnt that just great? The attitude that law enforcement agencies seem to have is that once we use a cell phone we are essentially willingly throwing our Fourth Amendment rights out the window. In some areas of the United States, police are physically extracting data from cell phones any time they want as well. According to the ACLU, state police in Michigan have been using extraction devices to download data from the cell phones of motorists that they pull over. This is taking place even if the motorists that are pulled over are not accused of doing anything wrong. The following is how an article posted on CNET News describes the capabilities of these extraction devices. The devices, sold by a company called Cellebrite, can download text messages, photos, video, and even GPS data from most brands of cell phones. The handheld machines have various interfaces to work with different models and can even bypass security passwords and access some information. Fortunately these extraction devices are being challenged in court. Let us hope that they will be banned. But what local law enforcement officials are doing pales in comparison to what federal agencies are doing. For example, the FBI claims that it can demand to see your cell phone data whenever it would like to. Not only that, the FBI has also been remotely activating the microphones on the cell phones of suspects that they want to listen to. This can be done even when the cell phone is turned off. The FBI appears to have begun using a novel form of electronic surveillance in criminal investigations: remotely activating a mobile phones microphone and using it to eavesdrop on nearby conversations. The technique is called a roving bug, and was approved by top U.S. Department of Justice officials for use against members of a New York organized crime family who were wary of conventional surveillance techniques such as tailing a suspect or wiretapping him. Could the FBI be listening to you right now? If there is a cell phone in the room they could be. It has been an open secret for a long time that for national security reasons the federal government monitors and records all cell phone calls that are made. In fact, the federal government is even trying to collect records for calls that have been made in the distant past. According to USA Today, the goal is to create a database of every call ever made. The National Security Agency has been secretly collecting the phone call records of tens of millions of Americans, using data provided by ATT, Verizon and BellSouth, people with direct knowledge of the arrangement told USA TODAY. In addition, the federal government has been constructing the largest data center in the history of the world out in the Utah desert. This data center will be used to house an almost unimaginable amount of digital data (including your cell phone calls). The following is how a recent Wired article described this new facility. 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. But isnt it illegal for the federal government to intercept our phone calls? Well, the cold, hard reality of the matter is that they use all kinds of loopholes and legal technicalities to get around that. For example, if a call is intercepted outside of the United States and then routed to a government building inside the United States that is considered to be okay. Of course that is a bunch of nonsense, but that is how they think. And it is very frightening thing for governments around the world to be able to monitor and track us like this. Increasingly, governments around the world are using cell phones to hunt down people that they do not like and haul them off to prison. For example, a recent Bloomberg article detailed how the Iranian government is aggressively using cell phones to crack down on dissidents. The Iranian officers who knocked out Saeid Pourheydars four front teeth also enlightened the opposition journalist. Held in Evin Prison for weeks following his arrest early last year for protesting, he says, he learned that he was not only fighting the regime, but also companies that armed Tehran with technology to monitor dissidents like him. Pourheydar, 30, says the power of this enemy became clear as intelligence officers brandished transcripts of his mobile phone calls, e-mails and text messages during his detention. About half the political prisoners he met in jail told him police had tracked their communications and movements through their cell phones, he says. Christians in Iran have learned that they must take the batteries entirely out of their cell phones before they gather for home church meetings. If they dont take the batteries out of their cell phones, there is a good chance that the secret police will show up and drag them off to prison. Most Americans dont need to worry about getting hauled off to prison for political or religious reasons at this point, but there is another aspect of cell phone security that could potentially affect all of us. Most Americans are completely unaware of what stalkers can potentially do if they are able to hack into a cell phone. For example, did you know that spyware can make it possible for a stalker to monitor where you are 24 hours a day and listen to everything that you say even when your cell phone is turned off? The following is from an article posted by WTHR. Spyware marketers claim you can tap into someones calls, read their text messages and track their movements anywhere, anytime. They say you can catch a cheating spouse, protect your children from an evil babysitter and hear what your boss is saying about you. And while youre spying on others, the Spyware companies say no one will ever know because its supposed to be completely invisible with absolutely no trace. Its real, and it is pretty creepy, said Rick Mislan, a former military intelligence officer who now teaches cyber forensics at Purdue Universitys Department of Computer and Information Technology. Mislan has examined thousands of cell phones inside Purdues Cyber Forensics Lab, and he says spy software can now make even the most high-tech cell phone vulnerable. For much more from WTHR about what stalkers can do to your cell phone, just check out this amazing video. It is one of the best news reports that I have ever seen. Are you starting to see how your cell phone makes you a prisoner of a digital world? The police can listen to you and track you any time that they want to. The federal government can listen to you and track you any time that they want to. Big corporations can buy all of the personal information that cell phones gather any time that they want to from certain cell phone companies. Stalkers can listen to you and track you 24 hours a day if they are able to hack in to your cell phone somehow. If you own a cell phone and you still want to have some privacy, then you need to take the battery completely out of the cell phone when you are not using it. Our world is becoming a much less private place, and we all need to be mindful of the changes that are happening. Unfortunately, as our world becomes even more interconnected and even more dependent on technology, the amount of privacy we all have is likely to continue to decrease. A digital Big Brother control grid is being constructed all around us, and in the future that control grid could potentially be used for very malevolent purposes. So let us be as wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Our world is changing, and not for the better. RELATED ACTIVIST POST ARTICLE: This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

The robots will be patrolling crowded public areas, providing surveillance and acting as information terminals for tourists. The man in charge of Dubais smart unit, Colonel Khalid Nasser Alrazooqi, suggested that the robots will eventually work without any human input, and believes they will be fully implemented by the end of the decade. However, the city may be establishing a dangerous precedent. The US Militarys UAV program was created with the intention of building surveillance aircraft, but quickly turned towards remote piloted war machines with offensive capabilities. Its only a matter of time before these robocops are programmed and equipped for urban pacification. After watching the governments of Libya and Egypt fall to revolution in recent years, perhaps theyre looking for a new way to protect their regime without the help of pesky humans.

2	MLKs Niece Takes Goes Up Against All Odds, Takes Unthinkable Stand For Donald Trump Democrats, who are still in disbelief that Hillary Clinton lost the election, are using the final days of Obamas presidency to undermine Donald Trump. After numerous failed attempts to keep Trump out of the White House, liberals are now trying to claim that hes not legitimate. I dont see this President-elect as a legitimate president, Rep. John Lewis, who once campaigned alongside Martin Luther King, said. I think the Russians participated in helping this man get elected. And they helped destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton. Now, Martin Luther Kings own niece, Alveda King, is giving Lewis a piece of her mind. The American left created a claque around [Congressman Lewis], requiring any serious discussion of the man to include a disclaimer as to his heroic status an infallibilityThis made him the perfect voice to go where no elected representative should go following the operation of the constitutional machinery for picking a president, Lifson wrote. As a Catholic commentator and a pro-life advocate, I asked Evangelist Alveda C. King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and a pro-life leader if she hops Mr. Trump will be a pro-life president. I just pray that all polar opposites learn to Agape Love, live and work together as brothers and sistersor perish as fools, King answered. While I voted for Mr. Trump, my confidence remains in God, for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Prayers for President-elect Trump, Congressman Lewis, and everyone including leaders. What do you think? Do you applaud King for speaking her mind? 
2	BREAKING: Hillary Clinton Was Just Hit With Some Devastating News On Wednesday morning, MSNBC reported on a new poll from Quinnipiac University, which shows Hillary Clinton with growing, negative favorability ratings in Iowa, Virginia, and Colorado. Mika Brzezinski, the co-host, seemed shocked by the numbers as she read the unfavorable ratings in some crucial swing states. The poll also shows that Clinton struggles when she faces leading GOP candidates. In Iowa, for instance, the former secretary of state would lose by a wide margin to Jeb Bush, Scott Walker and Marco Rubio. Those numbers are stunning, Joe Scarborough comments. If it wasnt for Donald Trump, the biggest story of the summer would be Hillary Clintons problems solidifying herself inside the party, Chuck Todd commented. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Are you surprised by Clintons poll numbers? 
3	No One Tried To Assassinate Donald Trump But Austyn Crites Shows Up In WikiLeaks 7 TimesBy Daisy Luther Although it doesnt appear that Austyn Crites was trying to assassinate Donald Trump, its very interesting that he does appear in the WikiLeaks dumpsnot once but SEVEN TIMES. Each of those leaks contains and Excel file, and Crites name and address in Reno is in each of those Excel files. Howeverthese arent the Podesta Emails. These are the Global Intelligence Files. On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered global intelligence company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopals Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfors web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods. Let me repeat that: The emails show Stratfors web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods. And the man who disrupted the Trump rally is in them. To find his name, you have to open the Excel files attached to each leak. Considering the insanity of this election cycle, who would actually be surprised if something like that were to happen? And given that insanity, its entirely reasonable that the Secret Service immediately hustled Trump off the stage until they could get to the bottom of what had occurred. Thankfully, it appears that this was not an assassination attempt. But Things arent as they first appeared. First off, no gun was found, even though two eyewitnesses claim to have seen one. Secondly, Crites didnt try to kill anyone. He was there, apparently, voicing his dissenting opinion and protesting Trump. He was quickly released by police after being questioned. Here are the original screenshots I took from Crites Facebook account: Crites original Facebook cover photo said across the bottom, Nevada Republicans Proudly Voting for Clinton. Due to privacy settings, there was nothing visible on the original page previous to Sept. 19 of this year. When I refreshed the page, it looked like this. Quick change, huh? Theres a reason I always take screen shots. A quick Twitter search showed a reporter from the BBC had spoken to Crites. James Cook posted the following Tweet: James Cook (@BBCJamesCook) November 6, 2016 His only public Facebook post said, Time to get out and vote yall!I understand that this election has people torn, but we must chose HOPE over HATE! His Facebook profile has since been taken down. The Project Veritas videos put Scott Foval and Doug Creamer in the spotlight, and both had FEC complaints filed against them due to their unscrupulous methods of helping the Clinton campaign. Breitbart.com reported on this particular quote from Scott Foval, where he explains bird-dogging: FOVAL: So one of the things we do is we stage very authentic grassroots protests right in their faces at their own events. Like, we infiltrate. And then we get it on tape. And then, when our guys get beat up Project Veritas: You mean authentic-seeming grassroots? FOVAL: No, authentic. PV: You mean FOVAL: Protesters. PV: So like progressive, what we saw in Madison. FOVAL: We train up our people, wherever they are, to and I work with a network of groups, we train them up on how to get themselves into a situation on tape, on camera, that we can use later. PV: So some of this, so I probably know your work. FOVAL: I know you do. Everybody does. But PV: You mean like a situation where its sort of like a FOVAL: You remember the Iowa State Fair thing where Scott Walker grabbed the sign out of the dudes hand and then the dude gets kind of roughed up right in front of the stage right there on camera? PV: Yeah. FOVAL: That was all us. The guy that got roughed up is my counterpart, who works for Bob [Creamer]. PV: And that was like, storyboarded? Him getting roughed up like that? FOVAL: We scenarioed it. PV: And so you, like leant yourselves to that situation and it happened. A self-fulfilling prophecy. FOVAL: We not only leant ourselves, we planted multiple people in that front area around him and in the back to make sure there wasnt just a action that happened up front, there was also a reaction that happened out back. So the cameras, when they saw it, saw double angles of stuff like, they saw what happened up front, and they saw the reaction of people out back. Gosh, is that sort of like an innocent guy with a sign getting beaten up because someone yelled gun? Because it kinda sounds like that. About 5 minutes after the incident, Trump gamely returned to the stage, where he graciously thanked the Secret Service agents and local police, then proceeded with his speech. He issued the following statement: I would like to thank the United States Secret Service and the law enforcement resources in Reno and the state of Nevada for their fast and professional response. I also want to thank the many thousands of people present for their unwavering and unbelievable support. Nothing will stop us we will make America great again! Donald J. Trump Daisy Luther is a freelance writer and editor. Her website, wherethis article first appeared, offers information on healthy prepping, including premium nutritional choices, general wellness and non-tech solutions. You can follow Daisy onFacebookandTwitter, and you can email her atdaisy@theorganicprepper.ca Thanks to WikiLeaks, Ive become a conspiracy theorist. Conspiracy theorist is a CIA term that came embedded with societal derision and a thick helping of paranoia. Think of yourself as a truth seeker. Welcome to a small but growing faction. A REALIST!! And to think you were in complete darkness before the workings of our governing system were exposed. citizen journalist, there are no more conspiracies this is truth, thanks mostly to Wikileaks. Conspiracy theories are true until proven otherwise. Gort klaatu barada nikto! O_o This is such BS. Wikileaks should be ashamed. Crites is on a mailing list to receive a book called The Next Decade by Stratfor. So is Random House. Are they informers, too? This kind of clown activity around an election such as this and YOUR wanting to ho hum it? Wow! You say wikileaks should be ashamed? You should be ashamed for being an idiot! Wikileaks is a hero exposing truth and the truth happens to be organized crime corruption by the dems. If Bush was president they would be exposing the war criminal he was. It is wonderful that some people will stick their necks out to get the truth out. You should be shaming the DNC for shafting Bernie, and the dem aholes that were creating hate and violence at Trumps rallies. You should be shaming Hillaroid for lying to us about the corrupt dealings she does for the wall street fat cats in private she said that herself! W T F! Are you really that FKN stupid that you shame the messenger and ignore the lies and corruption of the exposed? You miserable parasite maggot! betterboy, we are the majority. We want neither of these two pathological liars. We support all who expose the truth, risking long prison sentences. The truth is the enemy of the State. Joseph Goebbels. Hillaroid is a great example of a pathological liar Obola is another good example. Why do you say Trump is? Point out what he has been lying about. This is how Trumps thugs treat a dissident Republican. OOPS ! A peep from another Boobus Americanus that didnt see this Crites fellow holding the sign was mentioned BY name in the Wikileaks info dump SEVEN times? He was just on a mailing list for buying a stupid book, could happen to anyone. Maybe the publisher, Random House, should be on Wikileaks as well. Geez, the things people get excited about! People not getting excited instead of apathetic is why we are in such a societal melt down. Yes, we need more hatred, more anger, more theater and mass ritual, which worked so well for Hitler and all dictators. Between the politics of hate and the politics of apathy democracy: we should all be working together to end the oligarchy (in which we the people have NO power) and create a democratic republic. Historically, apathy is compatible with stability and prosperity (the Even Plato in the Republic banned theater for arousing irrational passions, which interfere with and overrule reason. In modern history, the great passion players have been Hitler and MUssolini. They were masters of whipping up a crowd, which Trump learned from Mein Kamph and Mussolini (whom he quoted favorably). We need a passion for truth and for ending war and exploitation, not a passion to deport 40 million or nuke ISIS (holed up in large cities with human shields), and Clinton is also, in a different, way a liar and with much blood on her hands. Reject corruption and lies and fascism and protest: any other vote is wasted or makes you a useful idiot. People get excited and interpret things wrongly everyday, they dont step back, investigate and get the facts before they go off kilter and make fools off themselves. Everyday I see too much misinformation spread everywhere by folks who just read headlines and make stupid statements based on that alone. Do read the Fake MSM Media ? He had no gun, no weapons. He had a sign. The mob attacked him, then the police.He was searched and released. Then Trumps son and campaign spokesman said it was an assassination attempt. This is classic false flag operations,something activist readers should be hip to. Its time to reject both liars. Protestuse your vote to say no to two pathological liars. Go take a break Dale you are on too many chat boards across the media using your brand of intellishit to be taken seriously? I mean you post like your lively hood depends on it? Disgusted, I am retired and spend my time researching and writing to help educate people like you. I am using my right to free speech, which seems to offend you. Every thing I said is a fact, which you call intellishit. You seem to hate free speech and the truth. Ill bet you are voting for Trump! Your weasel libel is typical of someone with no facts but much venom. Who pays you to troll those who come armed only with facts? I can tell Dale you do research albeit very selectively as your continuous use of buzz words parroted from from previous writers shows? Grammerly rates my use of words at 99% more extensive than other writers. We all share the same words: I see you using words I have seen before as well. You seek to silence me from too many chat boards across the media and now you ask to explain my views in a paragraph or two. You know my viewsyou are complaining I am sharing them too widely. You are not sincere, you are asking in bad faith, looking for an argument. If you are listenening, I urge you to read my views at opednews and Quora (where I have 95K readers). I note you ignore the evidence I present: cognitive dissonance. You cant handle the truth. If you really want to know, read my articlesoh, you did and want me to stop. Make up your mind! I can see right thru you. Dale , if you cant do it just say so? You dont have to hide behind accusations and the other babble to justify your refusal to put yourself out there. I do understand. Disgusting, I have answered and gave the sources. You are just begging for a fight. Sorry. Not interested. You know my viewsyou complained of them..you are a phony. Stop wasting time. If you want to know, go to opednews and Quora and read my views. Stop wasting time. Stop pretending. My views are an open book and I invite you read them. ( sigh ) Dale , apparently my attempts at getting to the root of your thought process is construed as Begging for a fight . I invite to read my deepest thought in my writing at opednews and Quora. Why wont you read the answers to your question? You are looking for opportunities to trash me. I am running toward you with sources where you get to the root of my thought process in great depth. You are running away from my invitation. No its Hitlerys camapign doing this thuggery. Hitlerys campaign yelling gun. You should be ashamed of yourself. Does your mommy know what you are doing? Were _all_ of the thugs who assaulted the protestor plants? If so, then does Trump have _any_ actual supporters? For being attacked, he didnt look too shaken up and not even a scratch on him. Reminds me of those people that fall to the ground and scream police brutality before an officer ever touches them This is what we all suspected and now we see it. Despicable. This sort of off-broadway production of contrived controversy and petty violence not only shows the desperation of the left, but a path down to Nazi-like tactics to come. (Oh, who am I kidding? The Leftist democrats have done this and worse for decades now. What a shocker!) A conspiracy that Trump, his mob of thugs, and the Secret Service were all in on. Got it. You got it all right. Totally got it wrong. I totally expect that from some people. Violent in the act of self-defense is not bad, it is often required and within ones civil rights. Look up the facts on the sign-toting perp. He admits to orchestrating these kinds of things for the LEFT! Sheesh! Then too there is the possibility that this all just happened, no staging, conspiracy or set up at all, and people are just always looking for the bad in everything. Maybe I just think that way because I dont care for either candidate and prefer to see the good in everyone. Hmmm, countless files about Trump on Wikileaks, over 50 pages. Did you read the article? It was most likely all staged by the left in an attempt to make it appear as if Trump was doing what you just accused him of doing. You played right into the hands of the dirty tricks liberals. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how cognitive closure works. Who will be vilified next for not supporting TrumP Probably the normal human beings, that go on with their lives, not being paid thousands of dollars for bird dogging, . Remember what Madelein Albright did say if you do not vote for HRC? Sorry, I make up my own mind and am not influenced by anyone elses opinions. I did not vote for Clinton or Trump, dislike and distrust (to put it mildly) them both. I only see Austyn Crites name come up in Wikileaks 5 times, another Crites name (Robert) comes up once and another hit is an .XL file email list and his name isnt even on it. Maybe people should investigate everything before they make assumptions. This whole election crap seems to be bringing out the worst in everyone, cant wait till its all over and done with. My immediate impression upon seeing Trump resisting; then finally; accepting his Secret Service escort off the stage was: Damm; he sure needs much Taller SS Agents assigned to him. If there was an actual firearms/assassination attempt; even his hunched over Parkinsons type of shuffle gait did not lower his frame enough for any agent to be able to take a bullet for him Not that they would really Want to; I would guess. I just watched the video 3 times; Trump doesnt resistbut we see what we want to see when we are brainwashed sheep. An innocent man was beaten up by Trump supporters and then the militarized police, some with assault weapons, tacked him and dragged him off. He was released with no charges. A man beaten supporters because he was exercising free speech peacefully was criminally assaulted for being against Trump. Then a dozen police and security, some with assault weapons, tackled him and took him into custody. He was totally innocent. Austyn Crites, was then immediately detained and led out by a throng of police officers, Secret Service agents and SWAT officers armed with assault rifles to a side room. Then team Trump exposed the game plan by lying about what had happened, justifying criminal assault. Mr. Trumps son, Donald Jr., and the Trump campaigns social media director, Dan Scavino, retweeted unsubstantiated claims that the commotion was an assassination attempt. Can you see whats happening here? No..ok. Trumps world: protesters are beaten and called assassins. And you like this. Then he defended the heckler with: I told you to be focused and youre not focused right now. Hold up. Everybody be quiet for a second! Youve got an older gentleman who is supporting his candidate, he explained. Hes not doing nothing, you dont have to worry about him. You dont have to worry about him. This is what I mean about not being focused. First of all, we live in a country that respects free speech. Second of all, it looks maybe like he maybe served in our military and we gotta respect that. Third of all, he was elderly and we gotta respect our elders. That is leadership. That is defending our rights. Trump then totally lied and said: Complaining about how the media always focuses on protesters at his rallies, Trump said Obama was talking to the protester, screaming at him, really screaming at him, adding that if I spoke the way Obama spoke to the protester, they would say, He became unhinged! He then reiterated his point, saying that Obama spent so much time screaming at this protester and, frankly, it was a disgrace. Go look at the Obama video: he does not scream at the heckler but at his own crowd and he defends the elderly Trump supporter. Trump is a pathological liar, and only a total fool cannot see it. I am not a Democrat; I did not vote for Obama, I would not vote for Clinton, but how shocking that fascism is coming to America with the false promise of Making America Great Again. Does anyone who has looked at the Obama video not see how dishonest Trump is, and how dishonest his son and spokesman in saying it was an assassination attempt after the innocent guy had been found harmless and released. The purpose of propaganda, as Trumps guru Hitler (Trump admits reading Mein ) Kampf) in which it is asserted that the masses are stupid (Hitler learned it from US PR inventer Bernay) and must be controlled with lies. The purpose of propaganda is not the truth but to win! Anything goes. How can you people be such sheep and witness such baldfaced lies. Clinton is a more subtle liar, but why not reject both? Protest: use your vote to protest two pathological liars. Or remain a sheep, as Donald wants:I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue in broad daylight and my supporters would still vote for me, he bragged. Wake up, sheep. Wake up and protest. Voting for a pathological liar is not a protest but a surrender. And then the famous Obama rejoinder: Fourth of all, dont boo. Vote! The moment stood in stark contrast to the sometimes vitriolic scenes at Trump rallies, where attendees have been dragged out and roughed up after protesting. Get him out of here, Trump said at one rally last November. Throw him out! It is not illegal to yell fire in a theater or yell gun at a rally, but you will be held accountable if someone is hurt due to your actions. That is the first Amendment. You can trash both candidates, but maybe you would watch Trumps rally in Penn. because there he exposes all the criminal activity of our government and the corrupt owned media. Dictators want to take the guns and good people dont. Trump has little to win by running for President he is doing it to go down in history as the #1 president of all times and to do that he must deliver on everything he has promised. That is good for us and bad for the corrupt that are milking our country to its death. Maybe there is no one that can fill the shoes for the president in your mind, but running in our corrupt environment against organized crime is an amazing feat by Trump. I dont know if someone rushed the stage or if it was incited on purpose. The dems do incite on purpose and we know that as a fact because the aholes were caught taking credit for it. So, wise up and vote for Trump. We will never get another to take on the corrupt until there is another 1776, but by that time no one will have weapons and technology will prevent anyone from going against the dictators. ..since 1969, for speech to break the law, it cant merely lead others to dangerous situations. It must directly encourage others to commit specific criminal actions of their own. The rally had dozens of security, some with assault weapons. Yelling gun when there was no gun and the man was holding a large sign, encouraged the police to to commit criminal actions fortunately not shooting (which would have been justified by the cry of Gun) but merely beating the guy to the floor, tho he posed no threat and broke no law. Thus the person yelling gun directly encouraged others (including armed swat team members) to commit specific criminal actions. The crime is not by the police, but the guy who falsely and with no evidence called Gun. We are lucky there was no shooting, which the false cry certainly provoked, but throwing a person on the ground is a criminal act, caused by the Gun provocateur. It certainly is a serious crime to tell a lie which puts a mans life at danger and causes him to be smashed to the floor and dragged off. Your logic is purely fascist, and that links to this being a fascist stunt, meant to cause panic. You are arguing that you can lie, and that lie can lead to violence against an innocent person, and that is no crime: it is. It is unconstitutional to restrict free speech. The law is about intent. You are making assumptions and talking like they are facts. You dont know if the guy that yelled gun had the intent to start a riot or if he really saw a gun or something that he thought was a gun. We dont have enough info to know the truth yet. Trump does not need stunts like that to have people attend. You were not there and your judgements are useless. Certain forms of speech are not protected speech, according to SC rulings. LIbel and incitements to violence are not protected. If you lie to cause a person to be harmed, physically, you are guilty of incitement to violence,a form of speech which is, by law, criminal. If you tell a lie about a teacher(that he is a pedophile) and it gets him fired, you are guilty of the crime of libel. The first criminal is Trump, whose speech has incited violence (He said, at his rallies, when someone was being slammed: Go ahead, rough him up. and I will pay your legal fees. This is an admission that he is inciting violence and knows it is criminal, since he offers to pay the fines. This is not protected speech, under the law. The next criminals are the group of his supporters who attacked the guy whose crime was holding up a sign (Republicans against Trump). All these acts (before gun was yelled out) were criminal assaults on an innocent man, a foreshadowing of violence against dissenters and protesters. The person who yelled gun, after a mob had attacked the guy, saw no gun. The guy was holding a large sign. He had no reason to yell gun other than to perhaps provoke a shooting by the heavily armed security (assault weapons), as an armed guy 50 ft from the stage could be shot with justification (of course, everyone was screened for weapons, so it was all but impossible to get one in,especially by a person carrying a large anti-Trump sign. I honor the security for not shooting and releasing the man quickly as totally innocent. A bit later,Trumps son and spokesman said there had been an assassination attempt, which lie Trump has refused to correct, as the likely purpose of this stunt was to confirm the paranoia of his supporters. Incitements to violence and libel have always been unprotected speech for obvious reasons: if you lie to hurt my reputation,you crush my freedom of speech. The First Amendment is not a suicide pact. Trump said rough him up and Ill pay your legal fees. But no one was hurt, so there was no damage. That was in response to solve the violence that was a setup by the dems. So, it was what you stated but it was in defense not offense. I already stated that you have the right to free speech but you will be held accountable for damage you cause and there are laws, but the constitution gives the right. Look at the media, there are laws that give them the ability to lie and spread propaganda with impunity. Things do get perverted. You make assumptions as if fact. I would hate to have you on a jury. There was no gun so no one saw a gun, period. Both democrats and republicans sometimes take things too far in support of their fav candidate, no one group is to blame, their are fanatic a-holes in both groups. Trump said Get him outta here and waited until there was a ruckus before he started to speak again. The entire thing was staged. If anyone thinks that Trumps decades long friendship with the Clintons and his lifelong devotion to the two party puppet show has recently changed, they really are easily programmed by the television programming. EVERYTHING THAT YOU SEE ON TELEVISION IS A FABRICATION. I REPEAT, A FABRICATION. If true, then this is not much of a recommendation for Trump. Paid provocateur, paid crisis actors, for the sake of mayhem brought to you by the George Sorryos NGO machine. This post illustrates how cognitive closure works. Conclusion first, evidence never. LIBs are ignorant. This guy is nothing but a fraudster, a Soros/DNC zombie, and has committed electoral and voter fraud. The left is 100% corrupt in every way. Wait a minute holding up a sign is voter fraud? in other local news it was mentioned he rushed toward the stage where Mr. Trump stood. If anyone does that in similar setting I can not imagine nobody will not do anything to stop anybody rushing toward the stage during any presentation. What is Mr. Innocent Crites thinking? Several times; and other related articles as well, O Genius. The whole assassination attempt was so badly staged by all involved, including Donald and his protectors who hustled him off the stage. Watch the video of the event again, folks, and tell me it isnt badly done theater by all involved including those on the stage. They expected this, its all a show, and a bad one. I increasingly find believable what I read to the effect that Donald an old friend of the Clintons was hired by Hilary to run against her but lose. I kept trying to figure out why a reasonably intelligent man would continually kill off votes from contingent after contingent of American voters. It mystified me, all the obnoxious, insulting things he has said, including references to his penis size (who says that on a campaign trail? Even a fifth grader knows that would be stupid.) It all indicates how hard he has tried to lose. He has repeatedly insulted Mexicans/Latinos (a huge voting block, nearly as large as native caucasians!), blacks (second largest minority voting block, at 12%), LGBTQs (7% of voters) Muslims, the parents of a heroic soldier who died defending America, and even repeatedly insulted and sexualized 51% of the American population (women). He even refused to disavow his endorsement by the KKK. He has been boorish in the extreme, presenting himself as someone with less impulse control than a two year old, someone you would never, ever want in charge of our nuclear arsenal. Whats a guy got to do to lose an election in this country? Apparently a lot! But Ive never seen a man apparently try harder. Observing all this, I more and more suspect that when the truth comes out we will discover Trump did this whole fierce stage show for money from the Clintons. Perhaps part of the 1.8 BILLION Hilary recently relayed to Qatar for unknown reasons? You forgot Trumps lies about Putin. Austyn Crites removed his facebook page the other night after the incident, now its back. There was a facebook page started by someone other than Austyn Crites yesterday, someone using his name. Facebook must have taken it down because it is gone today. All over the internet are stories by people who have not gotten the facts from reputable sources, they are repeating misinformation from other sources who probably only read the headlines. Its a shame that dumb crap like this can happen to anyone, next time it could be you or I. SMH! TRUTH SEEKERS are those who research, explore ideas, find proof and base decisions on FACTS. So. a Texas-based company that provides global intelligence services to clients such as Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, the US Department of Homeland Security, Face it hes one of the millions of true conservatives who cant stand Trump. Deal with it. Blah 
2	Juan Williams Learns His Fait Instantly After Making Pathetic Excuse For Killary, He Is Absolutely Finished It seems like an impossible task, but it appears the media has found a dumber person than Fox News Geraldo Rivera. Liberal moron Juan Williams from The Five has managed to take over the number one spot. In a recent attempt to defend Hillary Clinton, Williams ended up making Hillary look even more like a criminal. Juan was recently asked about the email leak revealing that Hillarys pay to play fraud charity accepted $12 million in bribe money from the Muslim King in Morocco. These funds were accepted in exchange for favors. Of course, Williams tried to argue that this was simply a donation and that she was trying to be a loyal soldier to the family foundation. The internet quickly mocked Juan. Juan belongs back at NPR, one Twitter user wrote. He is so dishonest. Watch the segment below and tell us what you think. Does Fox need to take this man off the air? 
2	Federal Judge Orders Obama To Court Over Unconstitutional Immigration Order According to recent reports from Fox News, a federal judge has just released a statement declaring the President Obamas executive actions taken regarding immigration unconstitutional. President Obamas unilateral legislative action violates the separation of powers provided for in the United States Constitution as well as the Take Care Claus, and therefore, is unconstitutional, the judge wrote. If Obamas policy is not overturned, it will be give amnesty to nearly 5 million legal immigrants living in the United Sates. The policy would also grant amnesty to those whose children are legal residents. Watch the video below and tell us what you think: Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com 
1	After years of eating regular Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, the Conroy family upgraded Monday to the higher-end Velveeta Shells & Cheese. 'We've finally arrived,' said wife Beverly Conroy while serving up a heaping bowl of the delicacy, made possible by husband Corey's 35-cent raise at the local tile factory. 'It's nothing but the finest processed instant foods for us from now on.' Pending sensible budgeting, the family hopes to move up from Hydrox cookies to Oreos by August. 
1	Citing that thus far it had been a cleanly played game in which both teams were playing excellent basketball on both ends of the court, NBA announcer Jon Barry said he could plausibly imagine a situation in which the outcome of the contest would be determined by a petty action antithetical to the spirit of basketball, a dispiriting event he would hate to witness. 'Not only would I hate to see it come down to that, but most important, basketball fans in this arena as well as those watching around the world deserve better,' said Barry, adding that if and when this type of thing happens, one has to question whether or not certain rules should be looked at more closely or possibly even changed. 'It would just be a real shame.' Commentators Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson agreed with Barry, stating that as a former coach and player respectively, they also hated when it came down to that, but grudgingly acknowledged it was just part of the game. 
2	BREAKING: Obama Is Trying To SCRUB This From The Internet For the last seven years, President Barack Obama has been turning a blind eye to any threats associated with Islam. It should come as no surprise, then, that violence at the hands of Islamic terrorists is at an all-time high in this country. Now, Right Wing News has just published a list that Obama cant ignore. The article outlined six deadly attacks that have taken place in this country since 9/11. Here they are: 1) Oklahoma Beheading: In September of 2012, Alton Nolen, a man who was trying to convert coworkers to Islam, killed a grandmother by beheading her with a knife. He injured another at a food factory where he worked prior to suspension. He was considered a lone wolf, though he had Jihadist images on his Facebook account. 
1	NEW YORKSaying it is time to 'get tough on hitters,' Acting Commissioner of Baseball Bud Selig announced Monday the adoption of a hard-line Three-Strikes-You're-Out' policy on all at-bats. 'The American people are sick and tired of the same batters coming to the plate and taking pitch after pitch,' said Selig after a day-long closed-door session of the Rules Committee of Major League Baseball. 'There comes a point where we have to draw the line and say, 'Okay, you've had your chance, and you blew it. You are doing harm to your team and to your fans, and you are going to spend the rest of your half-inning in the dugout.'' Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Mike Piazza swings and misses for the 31st time during a ninth-inning playoff at-bat last October. Under the new rule, Piazza would have been called out after the third strike. The strict new rule will replace the previous system, under which the number of opportunities a hitter had to put the ball in play was subject to the discretion of the umpires. Among the factors umpires had previously taken into account: difficulty of pitch thrown, degree of pressure from fans and teammates to get a hit, socio-economic condition of the batter, and whether or not he showed any remorse for previous failed at-bats. But according to the drafted formulation of the new rule, slated to go into effect at the start of the 1997 season, the third time a pitch is either swung at and missed, or is 'taken' but ruled to have 'passed through a region of space sufficiently proximate to the batter to render his lack of effort to make contact ipso facto athletic negligence,' he will automatically receive his sentence. Foul balls will also be ruled strikes, Selig explained, but will not be sufficient grounds for declaring a batter permanently out. 'Our purpose is not to arbitrarily punish,' Selig said. 'A foul-tip on a potential third-strike pitch still constitutes a mitigating circumstance, and any alleged pitching dominance must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.' According to Donald Fehr, head of the Baseball Players' Union, many players view the new policy as unfair. 'Selig's three-strikes policy takes a draconian, one-size-fits-all approach to punishment that is totally out of line with human nature and common sense,' Fehr said. 'You're telling me that if some nervous rookie shortstop just out of the minors goes to a full count, then takes a screwball that barely catches the outside corneryou're saying that kid deserves the same punishment as a hardcore veteran like Jose Canseco taking three huge cuts and not even coming close? Come on.' Another critic of the new plan was Doris Kearns Goodwin, professor of history at Harvard University and a long-time baseball fan. 'This is a simplistic, election-year solution to a problem that won't go away,' Goodwin said. 'People are all too eager to pass 'quickie' solutions like building more dugouts, but they aren't willing to devote the time, money and effort into eliminating the factors that cause strikes: poor coaching, the breakdown of the close-kint team unit by free agency, and a group of largely white umpires more interested in punishment than in ways of rehabilitating and re-integrating struggling young hitters back into baseball society.' But many players, particularly pitchers, expressed satisfication with the new three-strikes rule. 'It's about time,' Atlanta Braves ace Greg Maddux said. 'In fact, it's too lenient, if you ask me. When I throw the first pitch right down the middle and some punk like Barry Bonds swings and misses by five feet, I don't feel he deserves another chance, much less two. I know what these guys are like, believe me. They never change. They're gonna get right back in the batters box and do it all over again and keep wasting the ticketpayers' money.' 'These hitters have got to be punished,' said New York Yankees pitcher Jimmy Key. 'How else are they going to learn?' 
3	Lies, Damned Lies, and Global Warming StatisticsBy James Corbett Global warming is an empirical fact accepted by all climate scientists, and the only logical explanation is human activity (emissions of CO2 and methane). The worlds leading climate science deniers the Koch brothers, funded a study led by a leading climate skeptic (Dr. Muller) expecting to expose the fraud in government climate statistics. In fact, the study proved the opposite. Dr. Muller went on to write an op ed in the NYTimes announcing his conversion and the Koch brothers stopped openly funding anti-climate science propaganda and now do it with dark money. http://berkeleyearth.org/summary-of-findings/ reports on the findings of the study. Wikipedia reports on sponsors: Berkeley Earth has been funded by unrestricted educational grants totaling (as of December 2013) about $1,394,500.[3] Large donors include Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the Charles G. Koch Foundation, the Fund for Innovative Climate and Energy Research (FICER),[4] and the William K. Bowes, Jr. Foundation. The lead researcher was Richard A. Muller, founder and Scientific Director. Professor of Physics, UCB and Senior Scientist, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Muller is a member of the JASON Defense Advisory Group who has been critical of other climate temperature studies before this project. The other researches (see at Wikipedia) were all top experts in climate science, statistical analysis, etc. The Berkeley Earth study addressed scientific concerns raised by skeptics including urban heat island effect, poor station quality, and the risk of data selection bias. The teams initial conclusions are the following:[10][11][12][13] The urban heat island effect and poor station quality did not bias the results obtained from earlier studies carried out by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Hadley Centre and NASAs GISS Surface Temperature Analysis. The team found that the urban heat island effect is locally large and real, but does not contribute significantly to the average land temperature rise, as the planets urban regions amount to less than 1% of the land area. The study also found that while stations considered poor might be less accurate, they recorded the same average warming trend. Global temperatures closely matched previous studies from NASA GISS, NOAA and the Hadley Centre, that have found global warming trends. The Berkely Earth group estimates that over the past 50 years the land surface warmed by 0.911C, just 2% less than NOAAs estimate. The team scientific director stated that this confirms that these studies were done carefully and that potential biases identified by climate change sceptics did not seriously affect their conclusions. In an op-ed published in the New York Times on 28 July 2012, Muller announced further findings from the project. He said their analysis showed that average global land temperatures had increased by 2.5 F (1.4 C) in 250 years, with the increase in the last 50 years being 1.5 F (0.8 C), and it seemed likely that this increase was entirely due to human caused greenhouse gas emissions. His opening paragraph stated: Call me a converted skeptic. Three years ago I identified problems in previous climate studies that, in my mind, threw doubt on the very existence of global warming. Last year, following an intensive research effort involving a dozen scientists, I concluded that global warming was real and that the prior estimates of the rate of warming were correct. Im now going a step further: Humans are almost entirely the cause. [16] He said that their findings were stronger than those shown in the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report. Their analysis, set out in five scientific papers now being subjected to scrutiny by others, had used statistical methods which Robert Rohde had developed and had paid particular attention to overcoming issues that skeptics had questioned, including the urban heat island effect, poor station quality, data selection and data adjustment. In the fifth paper which they now made public, they fitted the shape of the record to various forcings including volcanoes, solar activity and sunspots. They found that the shape best matched the curve of the calculated greenhouse effect from human caused greenhouse gas emissions. Muller said he still found that much, if not most, of what is attributed to climate change is speculative, exaggerated or just plain wrong. Ive analyzed some of the most alarmist claims, and my skepticism about them hasnt changed.[16][10] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Earth Dr. Mullers full op ed can be found at the NYTimes. Endless tripe. It hasnt warmed for close to 20 years even though CO2 continued to go up. It is game overMother Nature wins! Latest data out of both the Japan Meteorological Agency and NASA confirms that global average temperature is now 1.25 degrees centigrade above the 1880s level, and more than a degree centigrade above the average for 1951-1980. Not only is global average temperature increasing but it is accelerating. If you consider the fact that humans have not lived on this planet at temperatures much above three degrees centigrade above pre-industrial levels you should be alarmed. like other animals we need food to survive and the crops we rely on cannot adapt quickly enough since the rate of change is too fast. Im alarmed at geoengineering. Its been going on for 60 to 70 years to one degree or another. Looking my skies overhead, the program is aggressive and reports of similar observations around the world confirm is it taking place on a global scale. The Little Ice Age ended in 1854 and it had been warming since then.ALL NATURAL! You have to go back to the Eeemian period (130,000 years ago ) to find temperatures as high as they are now. No, one doesnt have to go back that far at all. The Bronze Age Warming was warmer than the Roman Period Warming, which was warmer than the Medieval Warm Period, which was warmer than today. You really should stop parroting easily de-bunkable memes. I am not parroting a meme. Global average temperature was lower during the Roman and Bronze ages than it is now. You have to go back to the Eemian. This is not a meme. It is citing data. Big difference. If what i have said is easily debunkable then debunk it by doing a little bit more than saying it aint so. I see Koch propaganda has taken root in your thinking, even tho the research they funded (the Berkeley Earth Project) proved that govt stats are accurate. The last decade is the warmest in hundreds of years, and this summer, 5 continents plus the Artic had record heat waves. 90% of the worlds glaciers are melting. Its game over for your brain. Oil industry propaganda wins. Climate scientists point out the ten hottest years since records were kept happened since 1997, with 2014 being the hottest yet. Since 1800, the greenhouse gas CO2 has increased by 40%, being the highest level in 800,000 years. There is no way you can increase greenhouse gases by 40% without warming. Even Exxon which has spent tens of millions to brainwash the public found in 1977 that greenhouse gas emissions were warming the globe and would cause major problems. I know you wont accept the empirical evidence, but the beauty of science is that its facts are facts, whether you believe them or not. The tragedy is the longer we wait to reduce greenhouse gases, the more catastrophic weather will become. Its time for you to wake up, friend. Since human generated CO2 is less than 5% of the stunningly small amount already up there, 4 parts in 10,000, the only explanation for the fuss, is that AGW is a government sponsored scam. 4 parts in 10,000 of polonium 210 is tiny, but it is enough to kill you. Give it up! This year is very likely to be the hottest year on record worldwide, the World Meteorological Organisation has said. Man-made global warming and a strong El Nino phenomenon in the Pacific, which pushes up temperatures, mean 2015 has had the hottest January to October on record, with temperatures 1C above pre-industrial levels, preliminary estimates show. The years 2011 to 2015 have been the warmest five-year period on record, with extreme events such as heatwaves influenced by climate change, the UNs weather, water and climate body said. The WMO analysis of 2015, based on three independent datasets including one from the Met Office and University of East Anglias Climatic Research Unit, is released ahead of crucial climate talks in Paris to secure a new deal to curb rising temperatures. WMO secretary-general Michel Jarraud said: The state of the global climate in 2015 will make history for a number of reasons. Levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reached new highs and in the northern hemisphere spring 2015 the three-month global average concentration of CO2 crossed the 400 parts per million barrier for the first time. 2015 is likely to be the hottest year on record, with ocean surface temperatures at the highest level since measurements began. It is probable that the 1C threshold will be crossed. This is all bad news for the planet. Killing the messenger will not change the message. Not at all likely. You ignore empirical evidence which refutes your previous claims to make predictions about the future. That is one way to avoid dealing with reality. Your assumption is that solar activity is controlling climate change and that the 40% increase in greenhouse gases since 1800 is not. Actual climate scientists dismiss those assumptions. In most years there are colder temperatures for 1/3 of the earth and warmer in 2/3 with a net gain in heat. So pointing to a colder winter in the Northeastern US must be taken with record heat waves on all continents, melting glaciers (90% are melting, 10% are not). In addition the extreme weather caused by global warming will include more floods (North Carolina just had the worst in 1000 yrs) AND more drought (California), more snow, more rain, more violent hurricanes, etc. Like those who have predicted the earth would come to an end or Jesus would come down at a certain date, you have reacted to the empirical proof of your being wrong by claiming Well, it WILL be colder.. Unless you are a researcher in climate science, you have no basis to make such predictions. And since you have dismissed the empirical findings of the worlds climate scientists, you obviously are getting your information from sources with no scientific credibility, most likely secretly funded by those seeking to fool the public to stop regulation of greenhouse gas emissions such as Exxon (whose own research confirmed man-made global warming in 1977) and the Koch brothers. Having dumped lethal pollutants and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere for decades these wealthy oligarchs have shifted the cost (estimated by the World Bank to be over 2 trillion a year) of damage to human health (death and disease)and the environment (polluted water, soil, and air as well as extreme weather). This cost has been shifted to you in higher healthcare costs, lost wages, and higher taxesbut like the useful idiot you seem to be, you defend those who are making you pay for the harm they are doing to you. The Sun controls climate on Earth.not CO2 and Jesus has nothing to do with it. CO2 has no effect on climate and no one can prove that it does. So you dispute what all climate scientists affirm: that greenhouse gases warm the atmosphere? The proof is indisputable. Where did you get your PH.d in climate science and where can I access the research which proves CO2 has no effect on the climate. Scientificamerica reported: But the model (of solar effect on climate) did not exactly reproduce real-world conditions. Whereas sea-surface temperatures in the actual eastern Pacific typically decline by roughly 0.8 degree Celsius under a stronger sun, the model could only replicate about 0.6 degree C of cooling. Nor did the model predict changes where they actually occur on the planet. Other factors are likely at work, Meehl says, and even the best computer model can only begin to approximate the complexity of the actual climate. So: suns output constant; CO2 level up 40% since 1800 (beginning of mass burning of fossil fuels)..global warming. Thats what the scientist have discovered. Clearly, you have never had even one class in climate science and yet you are able to refute the findings of actual climate scientists. I find that hilarious! WATER VAPOUR is THE greenhouse gas and provides 95% of the effect. Water vapor and CO2 are in a positive feedback loop: the more CO2, the more evaporation and thus water vapor. They re-enforce each other,but you also ignore another critical fact: .even though water vapour is the greatest greenhouse gas, it is relatively short-lived. On the other hand, CO2 is removed from the air by natural geological-scale processes and these take a long time to work. Consequently CO2 stays in our atmosphere for years and even centuries. A small additional amount has a much more long-term effect. skepticalscience.com So even tho greenhouse gases like CO2 and methane, warm the atmosphere and thus create more atmospheric water vapor,thus warming the atmosphere even more, 5% of gases which can last for centuries have a much deeper influence,over time,than shortlived water vapor. You have confused a positive relationship for a distinction: more CO2 means more water vapor, and thus together,they work to raise the temperature. If we reduced CO2 and methane, there would be less water vapor and thus the two conditions would work together to reduce the temperature. The charts you site show that since the Industrial Revolution,with massive and increasing burning of fossil fuels and CO2 in the atmosphere, beginning about 1800, not has the CO2 level risen by 40% but temperatures have skyrocketed. Has climate changed in the past? Yes, no one denies that,but you can find no climate scientists who doubts that greenhouse gases like CO2 and methane not only increase moisture in the atmosphere but also create a greenhouse effect, heating the atmosphere. The charts you cite show exactly this correlation of CO2 in the atmosphere and global warming. Since 1800, both have risen sharply and continue to do so. That is indisputable fact, and the only logical explanation,given constant solar output since then, is that human caused greenhouse gases are driving global warming. I know you are a true denier,but facts are facts, whether you accept them or not. Stop with the pseudoscience! You defend a Globalist SCAM! Ottmar Endenhofer of the IPCC let the cat out of the bag in Nov. 2010 when he said that Climate Policy has almost nothing to do anymore with environmental protection. I am quoting actual climate scientists; you are repeating the propaganda lies of the fossil fuel industry. Exxon knew of climate change in 1981, email says but it funded deniers for 27 more years..ExxonMobil, the worlds biggest oil company, knew as early as 1981 of climate change seven years before it became a public issue, according to a newly discovered email from one of the firms own scientists. Despite this the firm spent millions over the next 27 years to promote climate denial. The email from Exxons in-house climate expert provides evidence the company was aware of the connection between fossil fuels and climate change, and the potential for carbon-cutting regulations that could hurt its bottom line, over a generation ago In the email Bernstein, a chemical engineer and climate expert who spent 30 years at Exxon and Mobil and was a lead author on two of the United Nations blockbuster IPCC climate science reports, said climate change first emerged on the companys radar in 1981. Exxon said on Wednesday that it now acknowledges the risk of climate change and does not fund climate change denial groups. But it did for 27 yrs after its own research proved climate change due to greenhouse gas emissions. The scam that Exxon,the Koch brothers, etc have practiced is to deny the empirical evidence their own research confirmed. Global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions is an scientific fact and a great danger. 90% of the worlds glacier are melting,the ocean is rising, and record heat waves and catastrophic extreme weather is a great threat and at a cost of trillions. To call the research of actual climate scientists in 180 nations pseudoscience while repeating the cynical lies of the Koch brothers and their shills is both comic and tragic. Your certainty is in inverse relationship to your knowledge and evidence. Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science. Charles Darwin, Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence. Once science has been established, once a scientific truth emerges from a consensus of experiments and observations, it is the way of the world, Tyson told Colbert. What Im saying is, when different experiments give you the same result, it is no longer subject to your opinion. Thats the good thing about science: Its true whether or not you believe in it. Thats why it works. You have not ever had even one class in climate science and yet you claim the overwhelming consensus of actual climate scientists is not science. Once science has been established, once a scientific truth emerges from a consensus of experiments and observations, it is the way of the world, Tyson told Colbert. What Im saying is, when different experiments give you the same result, it is no longer subject to your opinion. Thats the good thing about science: Its true whether or not you believe in it. Thats why it works. Neil DeGrasse You believe science is a lie; that is your right. What you are calling science is proven fraud. Only climate scientists are qualifed to prove a scientific fraud and they all accept global warming and the fact of greenhouse gas. Even the research of those who have funded the climate science is a fraud campaign confirms global warming,as I have detailed and documented. You are a classic case of You cant fix stupid. Your sole value is comic relief. No, not all accept the scam. The Earth WAS warming, but that stopped, and that is what the con-artists who call themselves climate scientists, continue to push on a gullible, but increasingly disinterested public. I think you should watch the video again, since you dont seem to understand what hes saying. Keep on repeating an untruth and a numbskull like you will eventually believe it. I maintain that the Kochs are globalists, including their father Fred who co-opted JBS and then made sure efforts to educate Americans about the elites plan for global government system fizzled out. David Koch was a member of the Earth Initiative, described by some as a sustainability Agenda 21 supporting organization. David is currently a member of the globalist Aspen Institute formerly headed by Club of Rome and UN superwonk Maurice Strong. David is also on the board of Trustees for Rockefeller University. William Koch is known to have at times donated millions more to Democrat politicians than to Republicans, to include environmental lefties. They work both sides. Having the Kochs fund some of the criticism against the establishments climate change religion is not only a good way to prop up the faux left vs right political paradigm and maintain a gatekeeper stonewalling on the larger global totalitarian energy-based economic system in the pipeline, it sets up a Fossil Fuel Industry STRAW MAN Target for litigation modeled after the tobacco industry lawsuits that set a legal precedent successfully winning damages against persons or organizations publicly going against officially accepted science. This strategy of a major lawsuit is actually being pursued now as a possible mode of attack to silence AGW critics. Its an escalation of the current attack on free speech with threats of fining and firing critics (e.g. the French meteorologist). The Koch Bros are absolutely beside the point, Prof. Friedrich Karl Ewart is just the latest expert to point out that NASA has been altering the land data making the past cooler and the present warmer. In fact, Earth has been cooling since 1940. But other agencies besides NASA confirm that the plant is now 1.25 degrees centigrade above 1880 levels. Check out the Japan Meteorological agency for a start. And if earth has been cooling since 1940 why is the Greenland ice sheet, west Antarctica ice sheet, California snow pack, the glaciers in Glacier National Park why are these all melting. you can fool some people with your anti-science nonsense but you cant fool nature. True or not, so what? Were not doing it. Nobody has been able to prove humans can change climate by how much CO2 they produce. Like you, they just point to naturally occurring changes, as if that were proof of something rather than a symptom. So youre saying that burning coal and oil and natural gas doesnt produce carbon dioxide? LMFAO. High school chemistry FAIL. Where did she say burning fossil fuels doesnt produce CO2? Reading comprehension fail? Thank you for answering for her. So you concede that burning these substances releases carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased from 280 parts per million in 1750 to 400ppm now. In that time global average temperature has increased by 1.45 degrees centigrade. Geological and ice core records demonstrate a clear relationship between CO2 levels and global average temperature. So youve made my case for me. Thanks. I didnt answer for her, I was questioning your assumption, a practice you seem to share with the heads of the IPCC. Climatologist Dr. Tim Ball points out: The pre-industrial CO2 level was marginally lower than current levels and likely within the error factor. Neither they, nor the present IPCC claims of 400 ppm are high relative to the geologic record. The entire output of computer climate models begins with the assumption that pre-industrial levels were measurably lower. Elimination of this assumption further undermines the claim that the warming in the industrial era period was due to human addition of CO2 to the atmosphere. Combine this with their assumption that CO2 causes temperature increase, when all records show the opposite, it is not surprising IPCC predictions of temperature increase are consistently wrong. 280 ppm is not marginally lower than 400ppm! I suppose 400ppm is not that high when compared to the Cretaceous (ended 65 Ma years ago). However, during the Cretaceous the equatorial regions were largely uninhabitable, sea levels were tens of metres higher and no humans (and very few mammals) were present on the planet. Its more nuanced than that, if I correctly understand Balls analyses with the limited time I have to invest at the moment, he is essentially making the case that the 280 estimate is just one calculation based on imprecise methods of data extrapolation and the margin of error is high enough that it is not possible to create an accurate model based on such imprecise figures. Margin of error is a bigger statistical factor than you appear to recognize. Using real life examples, he also explained how tremendously wide the variation in readings can be based on location and timing and this is using direct measurement not extrapolations from ice cores or other methods. The scientific process is typically not the fast slam dunk sure bet answer you seem to think it is, esp. with the most complex system ever studied. The IPCC heads and the globalists pulling their strings count on a certain level of public naivete. Ball makes more important points about lack of correlation between rising temps and CO2 in the geologic record, and the ocean as the major sink for CO2 absorption not being factored into the models. Theres more but Ill leave it at that. Having done scientific meta analyses myself, the IPCC methods appear to be grossly flawed to the point of fraudulence. But if pre-industrial levels of carbon dioxide have been underestimated by such a huge amount, what is there to say that Cretaceous levels of carbon dioxide (where humans and mammals could not survive) havent been overestimated by such a large margin? You cant have your cake and eta it also. As for IPCC I have some doubts but in the opposite direction. Data is usually several years out of date because of the peer review process and because of the political nature of the process important topics get left out. Methane for example, which is venting from the permafrost at the polar regions at a furious rate was hardly mentioned in the Fifth Assessment in 2013. As for geoengineering/chemtrails I dont dispute that this is going on but the effects of this would probably be to mask the amount of global warming through a process known as global dimming. Think about what you just wrote, even for a minute. If some group/government is trying to mask the alleged problem of global warming by poisoning the earth and its inhabitants by spraying toxic chemicals into our atmosphere, who granted them permission to do such a thing? Obviously, the only group(s) that could do such a thing would be unaccountable government entities, of one sort or another. Yet these same entities (or derivatives of the same) are also funding the fiction of AGW. Why would any thinking person believe anything they espouse? As I said in my original comment, it is all designed to achieve absolute control and they are very good at creating false opposition to thoroughly confuse or disparage anyone who might object to their ultimate goal. Finally, you ask who am I? I am an American who is still capable of independent thought. I see the problem of AGW as a ruse for further controls to be imposed on the public. There are countless mechanisms already in place by which we are controlled, yet we appear to be willing to believe more and more propaganda under the false hope it will be better for all of us to comply. Nothing could be further from the truth. There is plenty of evdience for AGW besides those who are behind chemtrails. In any event the people behind the chemtrails are not that bothered about AGW. I dont see any changes to economic life, do you? I keep hearing about taxes and so on, but where are they? Not that taxes would do anything to sort things out. At this point in time, I think reducing emissions is wishful thinking. You should look up a scientist called Tim garret. I believe a few years back he published a paper or two which pointed out that the collapse of industrial civilisation would cause a significant leap in warming 1C because the particulates and other matter in the atmosphere would fall out within a few days. thats whats likely to happen with the cessation of the chemtrails programme. A one degree centigrade or more jump in global average temperature putting us within reach of the highest temperatures ever experienced by humans or related species in two million years. you should look up geoengineeringwatch dot org. And I recommend a video on the Dailymotion dot com about global dimming. Im sorry to see you have lost your ability to reason, willfully believing the pablum that masquerades as science. One example A one degree centigrade or more jump in global average temperature putting us within reach of the highest temperatures ever experienced by humans or related species in two million years. What scientific support do you have for such a claim? Do you have verifiable records of temperature recordings for each year of the last 2 million years? Look, even in the last 20 years, the recordings have been intentionally manipulated. What makes you think that anything prior to recorded history (~ last 6,000 years) should be taken at face value? It is made up out of whole cloth, but as long as there are people like you willing to buy it, it will continue to be offered as truth. On the basis of what you have posted theres no way you can know anything outside your immediate sensory experience, and even then you cant rely on that because you might be hallucinating, so I think you are in the most unenviable position. As expected, I challenge you to offer scientific proof of what you claim and this is your response? Truly pathetic. If there was any real science for anything you claim, it would not be difficult to make a scientific argument, but as you have so convincingly demonstrated, you have nothing to offer. I have posted loads of data but you have just ignored it and, Moreover you have asked how anybody can believe anything outside their sensory experience. There is little further I can do for you. None of which is scientific. Your data is not proof of any causative effect from carbon dioxide, that is the crux of the issue. Just because someone with scientific credentials alleges AGW is true is not scientific proof of anything, At best, AGW is a working hypothesis, scientifically speaking; it is far from a proven fact. The idea that any scientist, who is true to his/her field of study, would portray AGW as fact just shows the lack of integrity in the publicly funded scientific community. I did try several times to reply to your point about chemtrails/geoengineering but my posts got blocked and deleted by selfnews Post, perhaps because I linked to a website run by man called Dane Wigington geoengineeringwatch dot org No. Im saying CO2 cant change climate. But youre not backing up your statements with any facts. Maybe you meant to respond to Dale or you didnt read my post? The Kochs are part of a psy op and that psy op is being used to not only fragment critical discussion, now its being used to legally silence AGW critics. I was responding to Dales tired use of the Koch boogeymen, which gets a lot of traction in Huff P, Alternet, The Nation, etc, and Europe. Arguing about the endless details of climate science or the politics while forgetting the Big Trap is exactly what TPTB are angling for. Good point about Ewart, though. Sorry about that. I see Koch Bros and my eyes roll up in my head. Why would CO2 be harmful; plants (our food supply) require it to survive. Thats the key point no one wants to admit. Meanwhile climate scientists, who have not been the recipient of various government grants on a global scale, have stated that we are entering a cooling period. Contrary to propaganda, the arctic, antarctic, and Greenland ice is actually increasing, not decreasing, and polar bear populations have actually increased since Al Gore issued his warning, although Fukushima radiation is gradually killing off all mammals and marine life in areas abutting the NE Pacific Ocean. Im surprised that anyone would be so gullible as to believe the idea that global warming (now known by the more encompassing term climate change) is scientific. Show me the actual science behind it, most of what is offered as scientific is pure conjecture based on questionable (man-made, i.e. artificial) climate models, which regularly fail to predict or come close to replicating actual climate observations. Thus, these models are the primary aspect of climate change that is man-made and the idea that we should believe them as scientific fact is sheer lunacy. Who benefits? Is it just Big Money interests? No, its anyone that gets a piece of the action that will be doled out by the controlling international body, whoever that is determined to be. The issue is control, just as 9/11 was designed to deceive Americans into relinquishing their freedoms so that it would be possible to implement more unconstitutional controls, the notion of climate change is designed to implement global controls on the worlds population. As with any issue involving control, there is no desire to actually solve the problem (if there was one in the first place), to the contrary, it is to perpetuate the problem so continuing and more restrictive actions will need to be taken. After all, what is the true nature of government? As George Washington is reported to have said, Government is not reason, it is not eloquence it is force. That observation about government is self-evident and to assume otherwise will only place our remaining freedoms in peril. No, it can be shown in the laboratory that carbon dioxide has heat trapping properties. It was first postulated by a Swedish chemist back in the 1800s and was demonstrated by US arms manufacturers when developing the first heat seeking missiles. The link between carbon dioxide levels and global temperatures can be demonstrated by the geological and ice core record. models are useful but if anything they have understated the seriousness of the situation. so we are looking at an ice free Arctic Ocean possibly next year when models forecast something like 2080. So what if carbon dioxide has heat trapping qualities, so does oxygen, nitrogen, and water vapor. And being the least prevalent (by far) of these four quantities in our atmosphere, I see a slight change in carbon dioxide levels as being inconsequential. Just because someones model says otherwise is proof of nothing, other than their model fails to replicate the observable atmospheric conditions. In a nutshell, their model is garbage and should be properly disposed of, just like we would handle any other refuse. An ice free Arctic Ocean how long are you and Al Gore going to push that canard on the general public? The trend in Arctic ice has not been declining, it has been increasing. If anything is happening, we are seeing cooling occurring and that is directly related to the cyclical nature of the heating and cooling of the sun. Laboratory experiments are typically only indicators of one variable out of countless in a complex system. Thats why its rarely the case that medical science in vitro or even animal models translate into treatment options for human beings. I consider the environment far more complex than the human body, which itself is such an incredibly complex system that researchers are highly compartmentalized in order to master just one tiny aspect. What of geoengineering? How can any models be even remotely accurate predictors if this important variable is omitted? Carbon dioxide makes up for less than one-half of one percent of our atmospherethink about that for a few minutes or, until you realize just how asinine the whole carbon dioxide AGW crap truly is. Can you believe that when global warming, and climate change where not working as buzzwords I heard a scientist trying to invoke climate pollution as another extortion catch phrase. You just cant make this stuff up. I agree, it is an answer looking for a problem, a problem that will sufficiently resonate with the public such that they demand action. If this wasnt such a serious example of collective brainwashing, it would be pathetic. As it is, it is truly sinister because nothing good will come out of any action or remedies that are imposed. It is a play for control, please do not think otherwise. This is about different statistics contradicting climate change or about statistics as a scientific tool? Show what you have or shoot down you website. Who is dji9424 and why is selfnews Post acting like the New York Times and deleting replies to his/her comments? Might you be the author of a Wales Forward Planning report using Agenda 21 Sustainability language and Regional Planning? If true, thats your prerogative but you have been led to or stumbled on an awake group of people who dont agree with the tyranny behind the system. That would also explain why you refuse to acknowledge geoengineering which epitomizes the hubris and arrogance of the scientific dictatorship (technocracy) that is behind Agenda 21 and whatever other incarnations it takes on. No, I am not the author of any such report. Anecdotal observations do nothing to prove the accuracy of AGW theories on climate change cause and effect. There is no human being on this planet who KNOWS what effect very small increases of CO2 have on the climate. The IPCC tells its scientists to start out with the assumption of AGW and then work backwards to find evidence to support the assumption, thats not science. How can climate change be accurately studied and modeled with geoengineering going on? Its the elephant you again refuse to address. geoengineeringwatch is run by a guy who worked for Bechtel and is disinformation on climate. Wiggington also pushes Methane Madness.hes not credible himself and he tried to smear Michael Murphy (saying he is a heroin addict,) of What In The World Are They Spraying and the follow up called Why In The World Are They Spraying, so he could take over the movement. Greenhouse gas in Science Expand The American Heritage Science Dictionary I did not cherry pick the above definition, yet even though it alludes to the working fiction of AGW, it does describe nitrogen, oxygen and water vapor as greenhouse gases. Clearly, if carbon dioxide was the only gas capable of absorbing infrared radiation from the sun, we would be in a world of hurt since it only makes up 0.04% of the earths atmosphere (400 parts per million). Moreover, if it was the only component of our atmosphere that could absorb infrared radiation, why wouldnt the temperature of Venus be much hotter than what can be explained by its closer proximity to the sun, since Venus atmosphere is 96.5% carbon dioxide? Every time I Fart, I am worried about The EPA fining me. The Methane, living Mammals put out, should be Regulated. They fooled you completely with lies and half truths, presented completely out of context, but, in a plausible manner. I like FACTS wayyymore! 
1	Coming together for the first time in generations, Palestinian and Israeli citizens were reportedly seen gathered at the West Bank today mocking President Obamas hopelessly naive speech proposing the possibility of a two-state solution. According to sources, members of both sides of the longstanding conflict united in fits of laughter and sarcastic applause at what they called an extremely impractical and actually pretty hilarious address. Give me a fucking break, said Palestinian citizen Hassan Tannous, 42, who, along with Israeli man Dov Eshel, rolled his eyes after Obama claimed that an independent Palestinian state is a viable and sustainable option. The guy really thinks were all going to work out this centuries-old war built on generations of religious and cultural resentment because he said some nice things about both sideswhat an idiot. Oh God, and he really looked like he actually believed everything he was saying, added Tannous, who peacefully joined hands with Israelis and Palestinians and came together to mock Obamas remarks. It really was pitiful, and sort of charming in a really simple-minded way. Following the address, sources said Israelis and Palestinians spent over two hours standing among one another, reportedly slapping each others backs and repeating their favorite parts of the American presidents gullible calls for both sides to negotiate and make hard choices about peace. Reports also confirmed that both sides exuded a hearty laugh after one of the Israelis mimicked a portion of Obamas speech in which he described a world where Jews and Muslims and Christians can live in peace and prosperity in this Holy Land. Sources confirmed that during this time not a single mortar shell was fired and not a single innocent civilian was shot. I think President Abbas and I can agree that the speech was one of the silliest things we have ever heard, said Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu, who was flanked by the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas. We have come together to announce that there is very little chance of a two-state solution and violence will probably persist, but we both strongly believe that the president was just absolutely adorable up there today. And together, we can make fun of the president much more effectively than if we were apart, he added. Sources reported that the unity between the Israelis and Palestinians continued well into the afternoon, when, after the laughter died down and eventually gave way to silence, three suicide bombers ignited their vests and sent everyone scattering back to their sides.

2	Check Who Promised 32 Billion To Sponsor Islam And Sharia Law In America According to recent reports, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, a senior member of the Saudi royal family, has announced that he will be giving away his entire $32 billion fortune to charity. This, in conjunction with past statements to promote Islam in the United States, is raising some red flags. Alwaleed Philanthropies statement indicates that the donation would aim to help build bridges to foster cultural understanding. Philanthropy is a personal responsibility, which I embarked upon more than three decades ago and is an intrinsic part of my Islamic faith, Prince Alwaleed commented. With this pledge, I am honoring my life-long commitment to what matters mosthelping to build a more peaceful, equitable and sustainable world for generations to come. Alwaleed is CEO of the Saudi investment conglomerate Kingdom Holding Company, which has large stakes in a variety of American companiesranging from Citigroup and Apple to General Motors. Investors Business Daily also notes that Alwaleed has significant ties to Muslim Brotherhood leaders. This is not the first time Alwaleed has invested millions. In 2005, he contributed $40 million to expand Islamic studies in the United States. $20 million of that went to Harvard, and the other half went to Georgetown University for a Muslim-Christian understanding program. What do you think of these donations?

Ron had owned the farm with a big pond in the backyard for years. It was a beautiful pond, shaped perfectly for swimming and complete with picnic tables, horseshoe pits, and citrus trees. One night, Ron felt inclined to go down and check on the swimming hole. It had been a while since he had walked his property. He grabbed a five-gallon bucket to bring some fresh fruit back to his house. When he drew nearer to the pond, he heard laughter. It didnt take him long to notice a group of women skinny-dipping in his pond. He let his presence be known right away. Were not coming out until you leave! one of the women shouted. I didnt come down here to watch you ladies swim naked, Ron frowned, before holding the bucket high over his head. Im here to feed the alligator.

3	Did Obama Know Too? IRS Officials Knew Patriots And Tea Party Groups Were Being Targeted 2 Years AgoMichael Snyder A report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration that is going to be released this week shows that the targeting of patriots and Tea Party groups began as early as March 2010, and that the head of the IRS tax-exempt organizations division was specifically told about this targeting in June 2011. But then the IRS lied to Congress five separate times between November 18th, 2011 and June 15th, 2012 about what was going on. IRS officials flat-out lied to Congress and adamantly denied that patriots and Tea Party groups had been specifically targeted. So should we believe the IRS now when they try to pin the blame on a few low-level employees in Cincinnati? And were Barack Obama or any members of his administration ever told about any of this? After all, patriot groups and Tea Party organizations were screaming bloody murder about this harassment at the time; and if the truth had come out before the election it could have been a massive embarrassment for the Obama campaign. Are we to believe that nobody inside the Obama campaign ever had any discussions about this? If Obama or those close to him did know what was going on, why didnt they ever do anything to stop it? According to Lois Lerner, the head of the IRS unit that oversees tax-exempt groups, any groups that had the words patriot or tea party in their names were specifically targeted for additional scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status. The demands that were made on some of these groups were extraordinary. Conservative groups complained during the election that they were being harassed by the IRS. They said the agency asked them an inordinate number of questions to justify their tax-exempt status, and 27 Tea Party groups joined with conservative lawyer Jay Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice to push back on the IRS. Kentucky 9/12 Project is one of the conservative organizations that joined with Sekulow to complain of government overreach. Its executive director, Eric Wilson, said his group applied for tax-exempt status in December 2010. He said the IRS responded with an 88-page questionnaire that sought all the organizations correspondence, the names of its members along with details of groups activity on Facebook and Twitter. In other instances, the level of information that was requested was beyond absurd Stephanie Scruggs, who works with The912Project and United in Action, said, for example the IRS demanded copies of every single post to every single organization website page, Twitter feed and Facebook feed. The IRS also requested contact information for family members of each board member. And yet another demand was for the name and contact for every person who ever had attended one of the groups meetings. And remember, this kind of scrutiny was only reserved for patriots and Tea Party groups. Obviously the intent was to harass, intimidate and damage those groups at a very politically sensitive time. It would have been one thing if the IRS had come out right away and had admitted the mistakes and had worked feverishly to fix them. But that did not happen. Even though the IRS knew exactly what was going on, IRS officials vehemently denied that targeting of patriot and Tea Party groups was taking place in response to five different congressional inquiries between November 18th, 2011 and June 15th, 2012. If the IRS had admitted the truth to Congress, it would have been extremely damaging to the Obama campaign. During that time period, the outcome of the election was very much up in the air, and so IRS officials may have played a role in altering the outcome of the election by blatantly lying to Congress. Several newspapers, includingUSA Today, have acquired excerpts of the report that is going to be released this week. These excerpts show that the IRS has known about this targeting of patriot and Tea Party groups for a very long time The timeline was part of a report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, which has been investigating the IRS treatment of Tea Party groups at the request of Congress. The report is expected to be critical of the IRS actions. Excerpts obtained by USA TODAY provide a timeline investigators compiled through e-mails and interviews with IRS officials. It shows that on June 29, 2011, IRS officials in Cincinnati told Lerner how they were handling applications for tax-exempt status for Tea Party groups. Certain groups, the briefing paper showed, were subjected by the IRS to further investigation based on politically loaded terms in the tax-exempt application file. Groups were singled out for enhanced scrutiny if: The words tea party, patriots, or 9/12 project appeared anywhere in the group name or case file; And you know what? A lot of those groups still have not had their applications approved. The delays and the harassment continue to this day. Needless to say, a lot of Republicans are extremely outraged by this revolting behavior by the IRS. For example, check out what Senator Susan Collins saidon Sunday Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) on Sunday called the Internal Revenue Services singling out of conservative groups for extra scrutiny absolutelychilling and called on President Obama to condemn the effort. This is truly outrageous and it contributes to the profound distrust that the American people have in government, Collins, a moderateRepublican,said on CNNs State of the Union. It is absolutely chilling that the IRS was singling out conservative groups for extra review, and I think its very disappointing that the president hasnt personally condemned this and spoken out. And of course many Tea Party groups are absolutely livid The IRS has demonstrated the most disturbing, illegal and outrageous abuse of government power, said Jenny Beth Martin, National Coordinator for Tea Party Patriots. This deliberate targeting and harassment of tea party groups reaches a new low in illegal government activity and overreach. It is suspicious that the activity of these low-level workers was unknown to IRS leadership at the time it occurred. President Obama must also apologize for his administration ignoring repeated complaints by these broad grassroots organizations of harassment by the IRS in 2012, and make concrete and transparent steps today to ensure this never happens again. We reject a simple apology that does nothing to alleviate the danger of this happening again. This is just another reason why the IRS needs to be shut down. The truth is that the greatest period of economic growth in U.S. history was during a time when there was no federal income tax. For much more on this, please see my previous article entitled 100 Years Old And Still Killing Us: America Was Much Better Off Before The Income Tax. But even if the IRS is shut down, this kind of harassment is going to keep happening because Democrats at the highest level continue to send signals that it is okay to demonize patriots and Tea Party groups. Just check out the following examples of this phenomenon from a recent article by Lloyd Marcus Democrat VP Biden said, Republicans want yall back (blacks) in chains. Democrat Rep. Andre Carson said the Tea Party movement would love to see black Americans hang from a tree. Democrat Alan Grayson said, Republicans want you to die quickly. Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters said, The tea party can go straight to hell. Think about that folks. Millions of Americans who oppose Obama ignoring the Constitution and cramming his socialist/progressive agenda down their throat have been told by a Democrat to go to hell. When top government officials use this kind of hateful language, of course their subordinates are going to feel free to apply extra scrutiny to patriots and Tea Party groups. And it seems absurd to suggest that nobody in the Obama administration knew about any of this. We now know that the head of the IRS unit that oversees tax-exempt groups knew that patriots and Tea Party groups were being specifically targeted. We also know that the IRS lied to Congress five times when they were specifically asked about this harassment. Without a doubt, members of the Obama administration and key players in the Obama campaign were aware of what Congress was asking the IRS. Did any of them ever look into these allegations to see if they were true? Once they looked into these things, did they report back to Obama? The inner circles of political campaigns tend to be obsessed with any potential threats that could derail their candidates. It is crazy to think that those close to Obama never talked about any of this or looked into it to see if it might be a significant problem for the campaign. One thing is for sure this goes a lot, lot higher than just a few low-level employees in Cincinnati. Lets hope that they get it. This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

3	Stunning Chart: Todays Stock Market is Eerily Reminiscent of 1929Mac Slavo The evidence suggests that we can expect devastating global economic changes in 2014 as a result of our national debt, further impoverishment of the working class, and massive new tax burdens resulting from President Obamas health care legislation. The fundamentals, by most accounts, are indicative of an economy on the cusp of atotal detonation within the next year. Now, with the prospect of an abysmal shopping season for retailers because of tapped out consumers, the first quarter of 2014 could cause serious problems in financial markets as a result of lackluster performance in corporate earnings. Whats more, the trajectory of our stock markets over the last eighteen months has been eerily reminiscent of markets back in 1929, right before the crash that led to a decades long depression in America. Is there a major financial crash in our near future? You must check out this stunning analogy between the current day Dow Jones Industrial Index compared with the time period 1928-1929 leading up to the memorable stock market crash The pattern of stock price movements looks VERY close to the lead-up to the 1929 top. A lead-up to just any old top is one thing, but the 1929 top was followed by a memorable decline, which makes it all the more worthy of our attention Ken stops short of predicting that stock markets will do the same thing this January as they did in 1929, but take a look at this amazing comparison and decide for yourself if its possible that this whole thing will break wide open on or around January 14th of 2014: You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com, where this first appeared. 
2	Verdict Reached In Boston Bomber Case And The Result Is... According to a recent court ruling, Boston Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been found guilty of all 30 counts against him. The terrorist is now eligible for the death penalty. The jury announced that they had reached a verdict on the second day of deliberations, and Tsarnaev was found guilty of several felony offenses, some of which are punishable by death. Now, the next phase of trial will determine exactly what consequences he will face for his charges, which range from conspiracy to use of a weapon of mass destruction. The same jury who found Tsarnaev guilty will be used in the next phase of deliberation. There is the potential to find him eligible for the death penalty on 17 of those counts against him. What do you think? Should Tsarnaev be punished to the full extent of the law?

According to recent reports, Michelle made the controversial decision to celebrate the Iranian New Year at the White House, bringing in both expensive food and entertainment. The celebration overlapped with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus address to Congress. The Conservative Tribune notes that the party also came just days after Republicans sent an open letter claiming that Obama does not have the power to make any deals without congressional approval. Still, the First Lady couldnt help herself from talking about new beginnings at the ceremony, referring to the nuclear arms deal. She even said that traditions like the Iranian New Year make us who we are as a country. What do you think? Has Michelle crossed the line? Does she need to be out of the White House will Obama today? 
2	Obama Announces Plans To Cancel Thanksgiving And Replace It with THIS In his last term as president, Barack Obama has proven that he is determined to destroy traditional American culture. Now, its being reported that the Administration may be planning to eliminate Thanksgiving and replacing it with Immigrants Day. Conservative activist Susan Payne overheard the plan while she was on a conference call led by Cecilia Munoz, director of the Domestic Policy Council. Munoz was once the legislative director for the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), a group that has historically attacked the traditional American holiday. The purpose of the conference call was to inform illegal immigration activists about the details of President Obamas amnesty plans, but the conversation quickly shifted to eliminating Thanksgiving. I was about ready to blow my top when I hear that, Payne commented. How can we make life better for an illegal alien? Payne claims the activists discussed. And basically, kicking the citizen out to the curb. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous? 
2	Trump Protestors Blocking The Roads Just Learned The Devastating Consequences They Could Face Republican state Rep. Keith Kempenich introduced HB 1203. Its shifting the burden of proof from the motor vehicle driver to the pedestrian, he said. Theyre not there for the protesters. Theyre (the protesters) intentionally putting themselves in danger. Liberals claiming it would make it legal to kill protesters by driving over them intentionally. But the law would only protect drivers who inadvertently hit someone. A driver who plows through a line of protesters on purpose, or hits a non-protesting pedestrian, will not be protected. If you stay off the roadway, this would never be an issue, Kempenich said. Those motorists are going about the lawful, legal exercise of their right to drive down the road Those people didnt ask to be in this. This bill puts the onus on somebody whos made a conscious decision to put themselves (sic) in harms way. You can protest all you want, but you cant protest up on a roadway. Its dangerous for everybody.

1	In a diagnosis that helps explain the confusing and contradictory aspects of the cosmos that have baffled philosophers, theologians, and other students of the human condition for millennia, God, creator of the universe and longtime deity to billions of followers, was found Monday to suffer from bipolar disorder. The Lord, found to be manic-depressive by Rev. Dr. Jurgens (left). Rev. Dr. J. Henry Jurgens, a practicing psychiatrist and doctor of divinity at Yale University Divinity School, announced the historic diagnosis at a press conference. 'I always knew there had to be some explanation,' Jurgens said. 'And, after several years of patient research and long sessions with God Almighty through the intercessionary medium of prayer, I was able to pinpoint the specific nature of His problem.' Bipolar, or manic-depressive, disorder is a condition that afflicts millions. Characterized by cycles of elation followed by bouts of profound depression and despair, the disorder can wreak havoc on both the sufferer and his or her loved ones, particularly if it goes undetected and untreated for an extended period. Though the condition is estimated to affect, in one form or another, 5 percent of the world's population, Monday marks the first time it has been diagnosed in a major deity. Evidence of God's manic-depression can be found throughout the Universe, from the white-hot explosiveness of quasars to the cold, lifeless vacuum of space. However, theologians note, humanity's exposure to God's affliction comes primarily through His confusing propensity to alternately reward and punish His creations with little rhyme or reason. 'Last week, I lost my dear husband Walter to the flood,' said housewife and devout churchgoer Elaine Froman of Davenport, IA. 'I asked myself, 'Why? Why would God do something like this, especially when He had just helped Walter overcome a long battle with colon cancer, and we were so happy that we finally had a chance to start our lives anew?'' New York attorney Ruth Kanner also gained firsthand knowledge of God's wild mood swings. 'Last Saturday, on a gorgeous spring afternoon, I was jogging in Central Park with my daughter. We were marveling at the beauty and majesty of nature, and I remember thinking what a wonderful world we live in. Then, out of nowhere, I heard the gunfire,' said Kanner, speaking from her hospital bed at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. 'All they took was a measly $17, and for that, the doctors say my daughter will never walk again. If only Our Holy Father didn't have those mental problems, my precious Katie might not be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life.' Jurgens stressed that God's earthly subjects need to understand that, because of His bipolar condition, He is not in control of His actions and does not realize how they affect others. 'What He needs from us is understanding and patience,' Jurgens said. 'To paraphrase the words of the Lord God Himself, 'Humans, forgive Him, for He knows not what He does.'' Taken on the same day, these photos offer evidence of God's mood disorder. While such drugs as Paxil, Prozac, and Zoloft have proven effective in the treatment of bipolar disorder among humans, there is no modern earthly medicine that can be prescribed for a deity as vast and complex as God. Jurgens is in the process of forming a support group, 'Living With A Bipolar Creator-Deity,' for all of humanity to 'get together and discuss their feelings about living in a universe run by an Omnipresent Loved One not fully in control of his emotions.' Jurgens said he believes God's essential condition is seasonal, as evidenced by the bursts of energy and elation associated with springtime and summer, followed by the decay and bleak despair of fall and winter. Sometimes, however, the condition cycles even faster. 'The average person with bipolar disorder may go through as many as 10 or 12 cycles of mania and subsequent depression in a lifetime. In severe cases, a sufferer may experience four or more per year, which is known as 'rapid cycling,'' Jurgens said. 'We believe God suffers from the even rarer 'ultra-rapid cycling,' which would account for the many documented cases in which He alternates between benevolence and rage toward humanity within a matter of seconds. For example, last week, He brought desperately needed, life-giving rain to southern Mali while simultaneously leveling Turkey with a devastating earthquake.' Further evidence of God's manic-depression can be found in the Bible, in which the erotomania of the Song of Songs sharply contrasts with the sadness and existential despair of the Book of Ecclesiastes. The Book of Job, Jurgens noted, marks the best example of His condition. The book begins with the bleak lamentations of Job and ends with a full-blown manic episode by God, complete with such classic bipolar symptoms as the illusion of omnipotence and delusions of grandeur. 'One of the major 'heresies' of Christian history is the Gnostic belief that the Creator, or 'demiurge,' of this troubled world is a blind, idiot god who is insane,' Jurgens said. 'This idea surfaces in many religious traditions around the globe. As it turns out, they were only half right: God has His problems like anyone else, but He is essentially trying His best. He just has a condition that makes His emotions fly out of control at times.' 'So it's up to us to make the best of God's emotional problems,' Jurgens continued. 'Thus, mankind is born to trouble, as surely as sparks fly upward.' 
2	BREAKING: This State Is Calling For Convention Of States To Stop Obama NOW According to recent reports, the state House of Arkansas just passed a Convention of States resolution which could mean some serious problems for President Obama. The resolution is designed to reign in a federal government that has become intrusive by way of a citizen-based movement. The ruling was based on a clause included in the Constitution, which allows for two-thirds of the states to come together to stop the government from getting out of control. Thanks to our Founding Fathers, states have the power to call together a convention with the ability to pass constitutional amendments. Now, the group, who is calling itself Citizens for Self-Governance just passed the resolution by a vote of 52 to 33. Arkansas is now the third state House in the legislative body to approve the resolution. What do you think of Convention of States? 
2	ISIS Threatens To Attack This City In America In New Terrifying Video [WATCH] Its a scary world were living in today. Just days after the terrorist attacks in Paris, ISIS has released a new video warning the world that what we saw in France is just the beginning. They also claim that they intend to target Washington, D.C. next. The threat was made by ISIS-affiliated group Wilayat Kirkuk from a province north of Baghdad. The video, which spans a terrifying 11 minutes, opens with clips about the Paris attacks. We say to the states that take part in the crusader campaign that, by God, you will have a day, God willing, like Frances and by God, as we struck France in the center of its abode in Paris, then we swear that we will strike America at its center in Washington, a translation from Reuters claims. Another man in the video also threatens Europe. I say to the European countries that we are comingcoming with booby traps and explosives, coming with explosive belts and silencers and you will be unable to stop us because today we are much stronger than before, he is shown saying. What do you think? Is this a serious threat to the safety of our nation? 
2	Clinton Witness Dies Because Of Heart Attack, Then Chilling REAL Cause Comes Out No matter what your political views are, the death toll of Clinton associates cannot be ignored. There is a clear path of destruction, and it starts with Bill and Hillary. According to recent reports, former head of the U.N. General Assembly John Ashe died Wednesday afternoon at his Dobbs Ferry home. Though a U.N. official originally said Ashe died from a heart attack, the Westchester County Medical Examiners office said in a statement that he had died from traumatic asphyxia with laryngeal cartilage fractures while lifting barbell on bench. Richard Johnson reported that Ashe was due in court Monday, along with his co-defendant, Chinese businessman Ng Lap Seng. Seng had been charged with smuggling $4.5 million into the U.S. since 2013, all the while claiming that the money was to buy art and casino chips. Ng is a familiar name. In a 1988 Senate report, he was identified as the source of hundreds of thousands of dollars illegally funneled to the Democrat National Committee, through Arkansas restaurant owner Charlie Trie. Lets recap: Arkansas, DNC, Clinton administration. During the trial, the prosecutors would have linked Ashe to the Clinton bagman Ng, a source told Johnson. It would have been very embarrassing. His death was conveniently timed. Of course, Ashes lawyer told Johnson, there is not one iota of evidence that it was homicide. The investigation remains open pending autopsy results. What do you think of these reports? Do the Clintons need to be kept far away from the White House? 
3	Americas Biggest Ally Now Has Special Thought Police Unit to Track Down Online TrollsBy Claire Bernish Expected to run for two years at a cost of $2.2 million (1.7 million) of which the Home Office will contribute $581,000 (450,000) the London Mayors Office for Policing And Crime (MOPAC) believes severely curtailing free speech is necessary due to the increasing role that online hate played in targeting individuals and communities. Online abusers, the Mayors Office said, operate behind a veil of anonymity, making conventional policing of hate difficult due to lack of skills and equipment so authorities have allotted the budget for the creation of a police-civilian alliance to report spewers of venom to police. By establishing this unit, explained a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police cited by the Business Standard of the Online Hate Crime Hub, we are sending a strong message to those who use online forums to spread hate that their actions will not be tolerated. The Metropolitan Police Service continues to have a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of hate crime. The Met encourages all victims of hate crime to report any incident to police and will make every effort to hold offenders to account and bring them to justice. To be perfectly clear, what authorities consider a worthy of reporting in this instance amounts to little more the vitriolic rhetoric criminal and non-criminal incidents a term so nebulous and subjective in nature, this extirpation project represents both a dangerous precedent and the slipperiest of slopes. Critics, justifiably alarmed at the prospect of thought police, have posited the program will not only nullify the free speech bastion the Internet represents, but could lead to arrests for online jokes or offensive posts or worse. Theres a risk of online vigilantism, where people who are offended by the least thing will have a licence to report it to police, cautioned Andrew Allison of the libertarian group, Freedom Association, the Daily Mail reported. If this recalls for you George Orwells government-loyal child Spies from the dystopian portent 1984, you wouldnt be far from the truth. In fact, in one example cited by the Daily Mail, a mother of two found herself the subject of a police inquiry after writing on friends Facebook post that she wanted to throw an egg at David Cameron. Yes, seriously. Desiring to toss an egg at a politician hardly seems relevant to fighting actual crimes of harm but as an illustration of the potential for offhand comments of no malintent to be perceived as criminal in nature, it handily does the job. And the non-threat of an egg isnt the only absurd example. A relative posted a photo to Facebook of three Siddiqui family members clad in camouflage during a paintballing expedition with the obviously jocular caption, ISIS training day but the family promptly received a visit from police officers. Police are becoming moral arbiters rather than dealing with real issues that threaten our security, asserted Frank Furedi, University of Kent professor emeritus of sociology. For Americans unnerved by the U.S. continued toying with legislation and court rulings designed to quell the fundamental right to free speech, the U.K. presents a case study in how quickly political correctness can run amok. Last year, laws aimed at combating malicious communication received a frightening update: Online trolls can now be jailed for up to two years. But trolls were already landing behind bars in record numbers. According to a report from the Telegraph, 694 people went to jail for online trolling in 2014 the rough equivalent of two each day and, worse, 70 juveniles were among the astonishing 1,501 people prosecuted under the law prior to both its update and the new thought police program. Whatever auspicious intent might underlie the creation of this civilian-police allied unit is utterly lost to its potential to damn innocent people guilty of nothing more than offending the thin-skinned among us to possible jail time. We want more police on the street, said Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron, not thought police. Online bullying is an increasingly serious problem but police should not be proactively seeking cases like these and turning themselves into chatroom moderators. With such measures, even if well-intentioned, there is a very real danger of undermining our very precious freedom of speech. A glaring omission of the Online Hate Crime Hubs statement of (purported) purpose is the lack of any tolerance education program for the perpetually offended the creation of which could foundationally fight the hate speech the Hub claims to desire obliterating. Its now very common to hear people say, Im rather offended by that. As if that gives them certain rights, said English comedian, actor, writer, and activist, Stephen Fry, in 2005. Its actually nothing more than a whine. I find that offensive. It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. I am offended by that. Well, so fucking what. As per government usual, the rush to apply superficial bandages to the problem of online hate speech provides the vehicle for far worse governmental intrusion into our private lives later on. Literally policing speech is the kissing cousin of policing thought when it seems the whole world just needs a lesson in the age-old adage you might know something about sticks and stones? Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Careful what you say about you know whoand we all know who is behind this. Was I being circumspect enough?

3	Its About Time: New Bill Requires Police to Report All Shootings Uses of ForceBy Claire Bernish Senators Cory Booker and Barbara Boxer unveiled the Police Reporting of Information, Data, and Evidence (PRIDE) Act that would require states to report every instance when a law enforcement officer is involved in a shooting or any other violent action that results bodily injury or death. Currently, the federal system for reporting such statistics is something of a farce, as police voluntarily report only justifiable homicides to the FBI.Even then, they are reported only if a person is killed in the commission of a felony. Boxer cites a Washington Post article from Saturday as one of the catalysts bringing about this legislation, which states more than two people per day, at least 385, have been fatally shot by police so far in 2015 twice what the federal government tallies for an entire decade. Even the Posts number is lowball, as independent sources listed at least 400 killed by police at the beginning of last month. The first step in fixing a problem is understanding the extent of the problem you have. Justice and accountability go hand in hand but without reliable data its difficult to hold people accountable or create effective policies that change the status quo, said Booker of the proposed law. Our legislation is vital to ensuring we have the data required to make good decisions and implement reform measures that are balanced, objective, and protect the lives of police officers and the public. All states would be required to report officersuse of force incidents to the Attorney General, with the following criteria considered the minimum information to be included: Included with the legislation is the possibility for grants to train law enforcement on use of force, emphasizing de-escalation and bias training. Too many members of the public and police officers are being killed, and we dont have reliable statistics to track these tragic incidents, Boxer explained. This bill will ensure that we know the full extent of the problem so we can save lives on all sides. The lack of a federal reporting system for police use of force up to this point is a contemptible absurdity when a life is lost every 7 hours for that very reason. Far from being a solution for police brutality, perhaps the PRIDE Act will function as a way to at least get a handle on the scope of the problem.

3	With Everyone Focused on Ferguson, Obama Quietly Passing 3,400 New Regulations Before ThanksgivingMelissa Melton Why, you might ask? Because the Obama administration has prepared, for the fifth time now, to oh-so-quietly release 3,415 brand spanking new regulations right before Thanksgiving while everyone just so happens to be totally distracted and focusing on the orchestrated civil disorder going on in Ferguson. Via The Daily Caller: The federal Unified Agenda is the Obama administrations regulatory road map, and it lays out thousands of regulations being finalized in the coming months. Under President Barack Obama, there has been a tradition of releasing the agenda late on Friday and right before a major holiday. Its become an unfortunate tradition of this administration and others to drop these regulatory agendas late on a Friday and right before a holiday, Matt Shudtz, executive director of the Center for Progressive Reform, told The Hill newspaper. The White Houses regulatory agenda for spring 2014 was released on the eve of the Memorial Day weekend, when millions of people set out on weekend getaways or family vacations. Its unfortunate because its an update on protections for Americans of all stripes,Shudtz told the Hill. It lays out the administrations plan and it deserves more attention. Nice, right? Apparently, this release comes new and improved with even more regulations than last time, and it even comes complete with the added bonus of having 189 rules which come with a nice fat price tag of $100 million. Its funny Once upon a time, throwing out an amount like a hundred million wouldve made some peoples eyeballs literally pop out of their heads. I can use the word literally in a figurative sense now without being incorrect, because apparently we live in such an Idiocracy society that the official definition of the word literally has been updated to include used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true. Im not even kidding. See? Anyway, who knows what evil will be lurking in those 3,415 new regulations. No, really. Who knows? Hardly anyone knows, because these regs will be slipped in under cover of concocted protests in Ferguson, a plate full of turkey and stuffing, and a football game. Melissa Melton is a writer, researcher, and analyst for The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared, 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.

3	The Central Bank Economic Confidence GameBy John Schroder I Am Not Crazy About Reality, But Its Still The Only Place To Get A Decent Meal Groucho Marx Interestingly enough, there is talk of eliminating all physical paper (and now plastic) so that the only remnant of what we consider to be money, or a representation of money, exists as an abstract thought in the form of digital or electronic numbers on a device screen. They want to make sure we cannot even touch it anymore. So what then gives us solace to even think a few digital indicators on some electronic device is safe and has value? Once again, confidence, and realize the three-letter word spelled using the first letters of that longer word. The problem for individual citizens and investors is twofold. First off, if all cash is eliminated and only remains in digital form then any and all opportunity of escaping the matrix, so to speak, is completely gone. They can impose negative interest rates and all kinds of financial mayhem and there is nothing you can do about it when there is no more physical form of currency. Secondly, they can really go hog wild with digital money creation, although truth be told they already have. In terms of US Dollars, the US Federal Reserve tells us there is US$1.4 Trillion worth of physical paper Federal Reserve Notes in existence as of June 2016. However, the US Dollar money supply has been expanded (digitally) by over US$6 Trillion since 2008 and is now estimated to now total in excess of US$10 Trillion. If you consider the fact that the US Federal Reserve has expanded their own balance sheet by US$4 Trillion due to so-called QE purchases (more than the actual existence of all physical paper money in the world) then you can understand how digital money creation has been utilized (created digitally out of thin air to purchase real assets, or claims on assets, such as financial securities). And if we look at this as a sort of leverage ratio, we can say the digital leverage is 10 times the actual amount of physical money or currency stock in existence. In theory, unlike some form of paper currency backed by gold or silver, fiat paper money can only or should only be expanded in tandem with GDP growth, otherwise you run the risk of devaluation vis--vis the value of the entire economy. And that is what in theory the fiat paper money represents, the value of the entire economy as a whole. And so here is another question for you. Have the European and US economies expanded, contracted or remained stagnant since 2008? And regardless of your answer, has the money supply indeed been expanded far and behind what that numerical answer is? If the currency is backed by a precious metal (and redeemable for same) then of course more of the physical metal must be acquired before any more paper or substitute representations of that underlying metal can be created. This is the complaint and restraint of using such a system. Even if the economy does grow and more currency in circulation is needed, this can only be done by expanding the gold or silver supply being held by whatever said central bank in their vaults. Regardless, there are many financial analysts and economic prognosticators that opine this current system or group of policies cannot go on forever and something has to give. After all, if it were really true that economic prosperity could be achieved by simply creating an infinite amount of currency (digital or otherwise) then the only thing any country would need is a printing press (or a good computer system). But alas that pesky thing known as reality comes back to haunt us. However, we have to admit that living in a fake world of virtual reality or digital fantasy is more fun than the real thing. And not only that, you get to have various lives in the make-believe world, what we would call a do-over when we were kids playing games whereby things did not go exactly as some would have liked. The real world of course has its restraints and constraints. In the real world one plus one still equals two, water is still wet and the sky blue (unless you live in China whereby the sky is a funky gray color). In terms of economics and finance, balance sheets matter in the real world as does profit and loss. In the digital world of avatars and electronic fantasy, everything and anything goes with no rules, no constraints. However, there is nothing wrong with physical paper or digital representations of the real economy or real tangible assets providing it is correct and honest. After all there certainly is a tremendous convenience using such a system in terms of trade settlements, making payments and so on. But, if for example, you have US$1 Trillion Dollars worth of gold or silver and issue US$2 Trillion worth of physical or digital representations, you have committed a fraud. Likewise, under a fiat system, if you create such same currency in excess of GDP growth or even the total value of the economy itself, that is also a form of fraud albeit one more difficult to prove because of the esoteric nature of calculating the value of an economy. The central banks of the developed world are of course focused on keeping the digitally induced economic fantasy alive. The idea and philosophy is that if equity and debt markets can be kept elevated then this alone will provide confidence (theres that word again) to the general public so they can believe the economy is actually sound. And so the theory goes, if the average citizen believes, they will continue to spend and borrow as if the future is so bright you need to wear sunglasses. US Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen has now gone so far as to suggest the US Central Bank directly buy stocks as has the central bank of Japan has been doing (hows that working out?). And none other than former director of the US Presidents National Economic Council and current Harvard University Professor Lawrence Summers concurs (but this also is a guy that wants to eliminate physical cash as well, so take that for what its worth). Saner and sounder minds think there will be a reckoning, adjustment or some kind of reset resulting from all this final fantasy adult play. A forced pulling of the plug on the play station box to use a metaphor. Some are predicting a coming new dual currency system in the US (a domestic US Dollar, which would be the proverbial bathroom tissue currency and another separate international US Dollar, which supposedly would be the real deal). Likewise we have heard rumblings about an EU split resulting in a new so-called Nordic Euro for the northern European nations (with presumably a separate Euro for the southern nations if not even a return to their previous domestic currencies). China and Russia are rumored to want some kind of gold backed trade settlement system to alleviate the risk of getting paid in monopoly money from another country and we would presume they want to see gold as the global central bank reserve and not another fiat currency. The Chinese currency was recently added to the IMF SDR basket, although no surprise there as everyone that has been watching this knew that it was coming. However, while an interesting change for the IMF SDR basket, we do not see any earth shattering changes to come out of it, at least on the individual consumer or national level. What is an SDR really? It is an index of other fiat currencies. It is not a currency used by individual citizens. So, we see this as nothing more than a symbolic recognition of Chinas growing importance in the world economy. Getting back to the idea of pumping up stock markets, stock indexes and bond markets, what are all these things really? Digital and or paper representations, nothing more. If you own 10,000 shares of Coca-Cola stock, is there a fleet of soda delivery trucks driving around with a sponsored-by signage on the side with your name printed on it? If the company were to declare bankruptcy, does such an event give you the right as supposed partial owner of the company to raid the warehouse and haul off US$200,000 worth of product? Of course not. Ownership of stocks and bonds, be it in paper or digital form is nothing more than a representative claim against the entity issuing such certificates or contracts. And we would argue artificially and falsely manipulating such digital markets do not reflect real world economic reality, not will they force the real world to confirm to the fantasy digital world (unless you decide to ingest LSD, magic mushrooms or peyote in which case you might experience your dog or cat speaking to you in flawless mandarin, a whole other level of psychosis altogether). In fact, there is a gross disconnect in the world today between what those paper or digital assets are supposed to represent and what is going on outside of the fantasy matrix the developed worlds central banks have helped create. Here is something about confidence, faith and trust (terms which are interchangeable for the sake of our discussion) that should be understood. It must be earned, constantly. Participants in the economy at all levels must be assured that markets and those charged with supervision are honest and truthful in what they are doing and what they are reporting. As we have already said, there is nothing wrong with digital, electronic of paper representations providing they reflect reality and are indeed honest representations of the underlying asset, commodity or whatever the case may be. Politicians and central bankers can assume the average citizen is a rube or just plain dumb, but lacking a doctorate degree does not mean a person lacks common sense. For these central bankers, we can only offer the follow advice: Overestimate your own supposed brilliance and cleverness and underestimate the average citizens ability to see through all the elfin magic at your own peril.

2	Greta Van Susterens Career Threatened By The Obama Administration Greta Van Susteren has been a journalist for CNN and Fox News channels since the 1990s. She has a reputation for being objective, and reporting only on stories that she finds to be truthful. She has been known to vet sources and facts herself. When she reported on the 9/11 Benghazi scandal, she chronicled the Obama administrations attempts to portray the attack as a conspiracy created by an American filmmakers anti-Islamic short film. As soon as it became clear that the incident was a terrorist attack, the administration started to withhold their information. Now Susteren is claiming that the Obama administration failed to invite Fox News to the State Department conference bridge, even as they alerted other news agencies. Fox News has also been repeatedly dodged in their mission to expose the Benghazi cover up. Susteren claims that someone at the Obama administration has also made clear threats to members of her staff, telling them that they would have their careers ended if they continued to investigate the Benghazi incident.

'We've got some exciting new doughnuts coming out, including a blue one that that makes the bat feel 0.1-oz. lighter for about 0.3 seconds longer,' said Santangeli, adding that a typical batting doughnut makes a bat feel lighter for 8.74 seconds. 'We're also working on a green model, a yellow model, a striped model, and even a purple one for softball. When it comes to doughnut-shaped weights and their important role in the heaviness-displacement paradigm, none of our competitors even come close.'

3	US Government Study: Humans are Security Threat to Oceans and our PlanetSusanne Posel, Contributor According to the study, We have identified a human-induced fingerprint in observed estimates of upper-ocean warming on multidecadal timescales. Computer model data from research from Australia, Japan, India and the US proves that the temperature of the oceans and its variable fluctuations are not a natural occurrence. Causational information fabricated by suppositional computer models from the worlds major oceans compared to climate alarmists computer models shows that there is an excess of man-made influence. The international team of researchers used for this study attributed only archrival computer models and assumed simulations and compared them to the supposed effects of fossil fuel emissions during the last century. The report states that When the global mean changes are included the anthropogenic fingerprint is of 1% which is an insignificant level. Yet, this statistic is being blown out of proportion to create frenzy over the earths victimization at the hands of humans. Although we performed a series of tests to account for the impact of various uncertainties, we found no evidence that simultaneous warming of the upper layers of all seven seas can be explained by natural climate variability alone. Humans have played a dominant role. The LLNL is a pseudo-outreach of the government; a national security laboratory that proposes deterrents to national security by using science and technology in the name of national interest. Their methods of interest include: The LLNL is dedicated to strengthening the United States security through development and application of world-class science and technology to: Support for national security and homeland security work also comes from the NNSA Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation, the Department of Homeland Security, various Department of Defense sponsors, and other federal agencies who sponsor activities, such as: Panetta spoke to the Environmental Defense Fund: The area of climate change has a dramatic impact on national security. Rising sea levels, severe droughts, the melting of the polar caps, the more frequent and devastating natural disasters all raise demand for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. George Soros disinfo corporation, Media Matters (MM), supports President Obamas global warming assertions and his war on affordable, clean energy. They claim that climate change poses a serious threat to our national security, and that transitioning to alternative energy will enhance military effectiveness. MM collected 15 military leaders that have agreed to assist Obama in pushing the lie of man-made climate change by saying that they believe it is a threat to national security. Even Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the UNs Intergovernmental panel on Climate Change (IPCC) retorts that if a successful action is not taken to stop climate change, it will become a national and international security threat. Pachauri said: If the impact of climate change is going to make regions of violence poorer, then they really provide a level of fertility for inciting disaffection, resentment against the prosperous world. Thats an indirect effect that can create the conditions for terrorism. Recommendations to the US were: Were likely to have problems with respect to water supplies in the US. We have to tell the people of the US. that this is something intimately connected with their present and their future. The cost of inaction is going to be far higher than action. And the cost of action is really not all that high. The US has made all kinds of sacrifices in the past and has always come out on top. The oceans are a big issue now that the UNs Earth Summit in Rio+20 is being held this month. Many climateactivistsare clamoring for the UN to put the ocean at the forefront of their concerns. Scientists at Yale University have put out a paper concerning the acidification of the oceans. Through decrying biodiversity preservation, Carl Safina, marine biologist and president of the Blue Ocean Institute, claim that the additional CO2 produced by man is making the ocean more acidic and this is vastly altering marine life. The result they predict is forced extinction of many marine species over the next several decades. Gleckler contends that multi-model ensembles gave them decades of data that reflects natural climate vulnerability. However, while ignoring real-world observations and solely basing their conclusion from computer models, the alarmist team was able to detect attribution of a human-caused climate change signal. The movement toward reversing climate change has more to do with over-reaching governmental and international control, and less to do with mitigation of the actual problem. While the US government, various globalist schools and the UN fear-monger the need for rules, regulations and controls over the people and sovereign nations, they fail to answer the problem with solutions. They simply continue to brow-beat the idea that man is responsible for the condition of the planet and their usurpation of control over the worlds population will stop the effects of global warming.

The card is believed to have belonged to Barack Obamabut the information listed holds some shocking information. According to the 1981 ID, Obama attended college in the United States under the name Barry Soetoro, the surname of his Indonesian stepfather. Even more shocking is the fact that the card is marked Foreign Student, something that simply would not happen if the president was born in the United Sates. Although many believe the card is a hoax, should it prove legitimate, we would have some serious questions for our dear president. What do you think? Is Obama lying about his true identity?

His mother, Eleanor Darragh, decided to put the rumor to rest by releasing both her and her sons birth certificates. Eleanor was born in Delaware on November 23, 1934, and her son, Ted Cruz, was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, on December 22, 1970. Cruz made it clear that his mother was never a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or registered voter. In order to become a citizen of Canada, one must live there for five years. His mother was never there for more than 3. Clearly, Ted Cruz is a legal citizen, and Trump is doing his best to stir up some trouble. Who has your vote, Trump or Cruz?

Reports indicate that this was the 8th consecutive game that 11-year-old Jeremy Burkholder, renowned throughout the league for his unorthodox and presumably uncomfortable basketball attire, has played wearing his No. 9 jersey, a pair of old Spalding basketball sneakers which many speculate were once his older brother's, and the same, worn pair of light-wash Levi Strauss blue jeans. Sources confirmed that Burkholder's teammates, and those players on the opposing team, all wore traditional basketball shorts. 'The first time Jeremy showed up in jeans, I naturally assumed he was wearing shorts underneath,' Burkholder's 10-year-old teammate Colby Oswald said, adding that Burkholder also wears the same jeans to the team's once-a-week practices. 'But he didn't take them off for warm-ups or before he got in the game. And he didn't just forget his shorts, either, because at halftime his mom didn't give him shorts to change into.' 'We all thought it was against the rules,' added Oswald, who later said that though he isn't exactly sure why, he would feel extremely uncomfortable asking Burkholder about his jeans. 'I asked my parents after a game once if it was because he's poor and they just shushed me and started looking around.' The overwhelming consensus amongst the league's players is that by even showing up to games wearing jeans, Burkholder is being 'weird,' 'stupid,' and 'gay.' Because players are traditionally dropped off in front of the YMCA, and the walk from the car to the gym is approximately 15 feet, most arrive at the court wearing just their winter coats and basketball shorts. If pants are ever worn, players strongly maintained, they are an athletic garment known as 'tear-aways,' which are never worn during games, can be removed via buttons running down the length of the pants, and are not made of denim. Though it is not known for sure whether or not Burkholder prefers jeans, or if Burkholder simply doesn't own shorts, his teammates intimated that it's the latter. 'He smells strange,' said teammate Eric Tremba, 12, who admitted he was basing his statement primarily on the fact that Burkholder wears jeans to play basketball. 'He's kind of retarded, too. In school he's always really quiet, and during recess he usually just kind of walks around the playground by himself.' Aside from a possibly deprived financial situation or a severe mental handicap, speculation surrounding Burkholder and his lack of shorts continues to increase among the league's players. Some believe that Burkholder has 'Russian' or similarly culturally incongrous parents who aren't aware of what basketball shorts are, while others claim that Burkholder's calves and shins were severely burned in a car accident. Most agree, however, that his odd attire is somehow related to the fact that Burkholder is not a very skilled basketball player. 'I don't think he knows what traveling is,' teammate Dale Ross said. 'When he gets in the games, he always just kind of stands under the hoop the entire time. So when he shoots the ball it either goes straight up and down, or it bangs the underneath part of the rim.' 'Most players who are good wear basketball shorts,' Ross added. 'Except for Greg [Davis]. He always has the newest [Air] Jordans and wears Nike wrist bands, but he sucks.' Those who know him emphasize that Burkholder's abnormal clothing isn't the 11 year old's only peculiarity. According to his teammates, Burkholder is dropped off at the YMCA games by a bearded man, who many believe is either his father or older brother, driving a rusty pickup truck. The barely glimpsed man does not attend the games, and the truck, which always contains various planks of wood covered by a blue tarp, is not seen again until the game's conclusion. In addition, when Burkholder is late for practices or games, the team's coach never bothers to ask why. Furthermore, despite an absent brother or father, and despite his limited playing time, Burkholder's cheering section is always the biggest of any player on the team, consisting of various vaguely identical people of both genders ranging in ages from 0 to 90. 'I think his aunts, uncles, and cousins come to the games,' said Jason Cuneo, 11, adding that Burkholder may have 'like 10 or 15' brothers and sisters. 'They are loud, and sometimes the younger ones yell for the coach to put Jeremy in.' Added Cuneo: 'Can't they see he's the only one not wearing shorts?' Though his teammates don't agree with Burkholder's choice of basketball uniform, all have unanimously said that they would rather be on Burkholder's team than the one with the kid who wears Rec Specs, or the one with the weird Jewish kid who plays the entire game wearing 'that stupid beanie on his head.' 
1	Expressing their growing frustration with the unacceptable wait experienced while looking from one electronic device to another, millions of Americans nationwide reportedly demanded a new form of media Wednesday to bridge the entertainment gap they endure while turning their heads from their laptops to their cell phones. According to reports from across the country, citizens are loudly calling for a device or program capable of keeping them captivated as they move their eyes from a computer screen to a smartphone screen, arguing that a new source of video and audio stimulation is vital to alleviating the excruciating boredom that currently accompanies this prolonged transition. Whenever I switch from my laptop to my iPhone, I hate how theres never anything good for me to look at in between, said 28-year-old Cincinnati resident Danielle Camp, echoing the sentiment of millions of people across the country who conveyed their dissatisfaction with the current lack of images and sounds capable of holding their attention during this period. It takes forever for me to go from checking my Facebook notifications on my computer to a text message on my phonewhat am I supposed to do during that time? Do you really expect me to just stare at a bunch of empty space? I just want something to scroll through or click on or swipe, Camp added. I cant keep looking at nothing. Men and women in all 50 states are reportedly insisting that the nations top engineers and tech companies begin immediately developing some kind of constantly updating content feed or colorful display that is capable of glowing, vibrating, or emitting a short jingle during those moments they turn their heads to one side or another, a period in which they are currently deprived of access to any source of media stimulus whatsoever. When contacted by reporters, Americans said they would be receptive to a backlit interface that displays blinking text, presents a slideshow of photographs, or makes a tinkling sound when touched. However, these individuals emphasized that they didnt particularly care what the specific nature of the new media display was or how it worked, provided it was capable of fully occupying the agonizing four-tenths of a second in which both their phone and laptop screens remain beyond their line of sight. Im open to anythingas long as I can look at it and have it light up and maybe flash an icon at me, said sales associate Kevin Broadbridge of San Francisco, noting that some level of interactivity or internet connectivity would be good, but not strictly essential. I really just want to be able to check the weather on my phone, tap whatever this new thing is a few times, and then go back to viewing a YouTube clip on my laptop without having to kill time looking at my pant leg or couch cushions or anything else thats in between. While most Americans said that a source of media to fill the empty area between their cell phones and laptops should be a top priority, a recent nationwide survey also revealed a widespread desire to bridge other unbearable entertainment gaps in citizens lives. Specifically, the poll found that 77 percent of respondents want an engaging animation to appear in their browser windows during the period it takes for a website to refresh, with a further 86 percent seeking a graphic or other feature to replace the seemingly interminable black screen that momentarily appears when they switch between two different television channels. Additionally, a full 95 percent of respondents insisted on the installation of an additional screen on the backs of their phones and tablets for those moments in which such devices are left resting face down. A lot of the time, Ill have to plug in my laptop or Kindle so I can keep using it, but the electrical outlet is just this white piece of plastic that doesnt move or give me badges or anything; there should be some display there that I can look at instead, said Elizabeth Cantanzaro of El Paso, TX. And when I look at my remote control for my TV, all the buttons just have a bunch of numbers on them. Who wants to see that? Those should all be screens too. But the screens shouldnt take any time to load, she added. I dont want to have to wait. I dont like that. At press time, Americans had upped their demands by calling for some type of media capable of providing them something to look at when they blink. 
1	According to family members, ever since area father Gerry DiCenzo purchased a 52-inch HD LCD television last month, he has refused to watch any program not broadcast in high-definition. 'Every time I walk into the room, he's like, 'Michael, sit down, you have to look at this picture,' but it's always something crappy, like golf or bowling or something,' said son Michael, 14, who noted that his father will often flip back and forth between CBS's high-definition station and its regular station to illustrate the difference, acting physically disgusted when the picture is not in HD. 'He always watches Happy Feet on HBO and says, 'Look how clear the pixels areyou can see the individual feathers on the penguins!' I don't even think he knows what the plot of the movie is.' DiCenzo, who now also only rents movies on Blu-Ray, proudly noted that Spider-Man 3 star Tobey Maguire 'has a bunch of moles on his face that you can't see in regular-def.'

1	Thousands of members of the slicked-back-hair community gathered in Hollywood Monday to protest the film industry's longtime trend of depicting men with slicked-back hair as untrustworthy, unlikeable antagonists. 'There have been 4,192 films in the past 10 years in which male characters with sleek or slicked-back hairstyles have been portrayed in a negative light,' said Ray Swartz, chairman of the National Organization of Men with Slicked-Back Hair. 'Even though men with this hairstyle comprise just 3 percent of the U.S. populace, they make up nearly 80 percent of all film and TV villains, bad guys, and just plain assholes. As a result, thousands of men who enjoy wetting their hair and then combing it straight back face a silent but pervasive form of discrimination every single day.' 'I'm just a man with slicked-back hair,' Swartz added. 'Does that make me a sleazeball?' According to statistics released by the organization, five out of every six characters with slicked-back hair are cast as the primary antagonist. Of this group, 29 percent are depicted as greedy and manipulative Wall Street sharks, 22 percent as cold, emotionless murderers, 19 percent as evil coaches or mentors, 12 percent as corrupt mafiosi, 8 percent as undead creatures who feast on human blood, and the remaining 10 percent fall into the general category of jerks/pricks/John Travolta. More alarming, Swartz said, is that certain subsets of slicked-back-hair Americans endure even worse prejudices. He cited men with slicked-back hair who also talk with cigarettes dangling out of their mouths, wear blue button-down shirts with white collars, or place toothpicks behind their right ears as the most victimized. 'Just because I have heavily gelled, jet-black, slicked-back hair does not mean I can't lead a normal, productive life,' Kettering, OH native Martin Sutulovich said. 'I'm not consumed by an insatiable thirst for power, I know nothing about the high-pressure world of real-estate speculation, and I have a wife and kids whom I love very much. The last thing I want to do is murder them, cut them up into tiny pieces, bag them up, and put them out with the trash, but when strangers look at me, that's all they think.' A recent study conducted by Swartz's group indicates that Americans who slick back their hair usually experience typical development, have life spans equal to those without slicked-back hair, and are no more likely to stoically torture people with medical instruments than the average dry-haired citizen. 'You always see crooked lawyers and politicians with slicked-back hair in the movies, but when was the last time you saw a computer programmer with slicked-back hair, a farmer who built a magical baseball field in a cornfield with slicked-back hair, or a man who defused a bomb at the last possible second to save thousands of innocent lives with slicked-back hair?' Swartz said. 'Never.' 'The closest thing we've ever gotten to a hero is Steven Seagal or that Spanish neighbor guy on Sanford And Son,' he added. 'And Seagal's hair is pulled back into a ponytail, so he doesn't even really count.' Swartz also pointed out that even females who appear in films with slicked-back hair often end up transforming into aliens who have sex with people and then kill them. 'I have naturally oily hair. If I leave it dry, it ends up messy by the end of the day, so I slick it back,' Doug Roessner of Brockton, MA said. 'I sell insurance for a living, so how am I supposed to get my clients to trust me when they all think I'm some money-hungry scumbag? And every time I tell my bosses that I'll 'take care of' a problem, they immediately assume I mean murdering someone. It's pathetic.' 'My son hasn't been the same around me since he watched D2: The Mighty Ducks last month,' said slicked-back-hair man Mick Romanini, referencing the film in which coach Gordon Bombay slicks back his hair when consumed by fame, then wears it dry again upon realizing the error of his ways. 'Is this what we want to teach our children about slicked-back hair?' Added Romanini, 'He should be able to do whatever he wants with his hair when he gets older and not worry that people are going to assume he's the kind of guy who would plot his best friend's death and then seduce the widow to get his hands on the insurance money.' In interviews, studio executives have countered the protests by citing a number of realistic and sympathetic characters with slicked-back hair, including James Bond, Superman, and Data from Star Trek. But Swartz rejects such claims. After closer examination, he said, Bond's hair is slicked 'more to the side than back,' Data is not a human being, and Superman has a distinct curl of hair that falls on his forehead, which his group considers a different hairstyle altogether. Hollywood is facing similar protests from groups such as the National Association of Maniacal Laughers, the American Mustache-Twirlers Coalition, and the Alliance of Gentlemen with Scars and Eye Patches. 
1	Today host Katie Couric noticeably winced at mention of the word 'vagina' during an interview with National Ovarian Cancer Foundation spokeswoman Janette Pruce Monday. 'I understand that it's important to raise awareness and promote early detection, which is why I was happy to have [Pruce] on the show,' a flustered Couric said after the interview. 'I just didn't expect her to come right out and say the 'V' word.' An intern on the show said that Couric hadn't appeared that uncomfortable since walking in on one of the Dixie Chicks breastfeeding. 
3	American Milk Banned in Europe Because it Does No Body GoodAnna Hunt, Contributor If milk does a body so much good, why is US-produced milk banned in Europe? It turns out that in 1994, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the use of recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH). rBGH in milk is believed to increase the risk of cancer. In an attempt to protect its citizens from genetically-modified milk, the Codex Alimentarius Commission, the U.N. Food Safety Agency representing 101 nations worldwide, has banned rBGH milk in the 101 nations that it represents. Canada is another country where rBGH milk is banned. The European Commission organized independent research to review the effect of rBGH on public health. Here is what they found: rBGH is another one of Monsantos genetically-engineered products that mimics the cows naturally-produced BGH hormone. Researchers throughout the world argue that consumption of excess IGF-1 hormone, which is also found in humans, may result in a higher risk of breast, colon and prostate cancer. Yet, in the US, Monsanto and the milk industry do not clearly label which milk comes from rBGH-treated cows. And the effect on humans is just one of the problems. The use of rBGH also has a serious effect on the animals. Heres a short 3-minute video about Monsantos deception regarding rBGH. If the idea of consuming hormone-filled, cancer-causing, Franken-milk doesnt turn you off of cows milk, at least the non-organic non-labeled brands, then perhaps some of the following facts will give you more food for thought: Yes, our bodies need calcium. But perhaps milk is not the best source, as weve been led to believe. Try eating more lettuce, kale, broccoli, almonds, oranges, flax seed, sesame seeds, dill, thyme and other dried herbs. For cereal, try almond or hemp milk instead of cows milk. Calcium from plant sources is more easily digested by our bodies than calcium from cows milk, because plants have a high magnesium content, and magnesium aids in the assimilation of calcium by the body. Decreasing your intake of cows milk will do your body good! Anna Hunt is a staff writer forWakingTimes.comand an entrepreneur with over a decade of experience in research and editorial writing.

2	HEARTBREAKING: Dying Marine Vet Sends One Last Message To Trump And Pence [VIDEO] Dr. Larry Lindsey was a former Marine combat photographer who later used his experience working for media outlets like Animal Planet, National Geographic, The Discovery Channel, Fox Sports Network, and more. He was also a firm supporter of Donald Trumpup until his very last breath. Lindsey left an emotional deathbed message to Trump, Pence and soon-to-be Secretary of Defense Mattis. The heartfelt video was recorded by family. Here is what Lindsey had to say: President Trump, Vice President Pence, and General Mattis I would like to say that the greatest honor of my life has been to wage this battle with you. I havent been prouder to be a Marine than anything Ive ever done in my life. Having a hand in some small way in fighting for my country has meant the world to me. There is no greater honor for me than to have great men like you leading this country back to its foundation and back to God. Mr. Trump, I have no doubt in my heart and in my mind that you will be perhaps the greatest president in the history of our country. Lindsey then pushed forward with emotional words for Pence and Mattis: Vice President Pence, I am so honored to call you my vice president. Youre an incredibly good man and probably the only vice president in 150 years to have any brains. And I appreciate that about you. Your candor and your honesty from both of you men is much needed in this day and time. It is you people here the good people of America for whom I cry, my loved ones and my friends, and the sacrifices they continue to make in this fight to restore our country. Dying is the easy part. Dying is the comforting part if you know who your God is and you know that he holds your hand. And I do. I praise God for a wonderful life. So many wonderful blessings that I have known and so many kind and loving people whom I have met during my fight for this country. I want you to know, each and every one of you that we have taken on a challenge that has only just begun. The real battle lies ahead. And General Mattis, I want to request sir, and that is, give em hell and Semper Fi. God Bless. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is this a true patriot? 
3	Hunger in AmericaStephen Lendman More below on growing hunger and deprivation. Its increasing in America at a time trillions of dollars go for warmaking, corporate handouts, and other benefits for rich elites. Giving thanks predated the republic. In 1621, Plymouth Pilgrims did so. They had nothing to do with originating the idea. Native Americans did. They gave thanks for annual fall harvests. They did it centuries before settlers arrived. On November 26, 1789, George Washington proclaimed the first national thanksgiving day. He called it a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favours of Almighty God. In 1863, Lincoln used the occasion to boost Union Army morale and patriotic fervor. He invite(d) (his) fellow citizens to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a day of thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens. He fervently implore(d) the interposition of the Almighty hand to heal the wounds of he nation and to restore it to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity, and union. Social inequality, moral degeneration, and police state lawlessness reflect todays reality. Constitutional rights dont matter. War on humanity persists. Corporate crooks go unpunished. Democracy is a convenient illusion. Powerful monied interests run things. Ordinary people are hugely deprived. Growing needs go unaddressed. Government officials able to make a difference dont care. Thanksgiving has many disturbing ironies. Presidents annually issue a pardon. It spares a preselected turkeys life. It does so by proclamation. This year two were spared. Its unclear precisely when the tradition began. Lincoln did so. Thanksgiving day 1963 was November 28. Kennedy was assassinated six days earlier. Before his death, he let one turkey live. Well just let this one grow, he said. Nixon began sending turkeys to a petting farm near Washington. He did so after a White House photo-op ceremony. No formal pardon was given. GHW Bush was the first president to do it. On November 14, 1989, he said a preselected turkey was granted a presidential pardon as of right now. Obama issued annual presidential pardons. On Wednesday, he spared two turkeys. The office of the presidency, the most powerful position in the world, brings with it many awesome and solemn responsibilities, he said. This is not one of them. Tomorrow, as we gather with our own friends and family, well count ourselves lucky that theres more to be thankful for than we can ever say and more to be hopeful for than we can ever imagine. A November 27 White House press release said in part: On Wednesday, November 27, 2013, President Obama will pardon the National Thanksgiving Turkey in a ceremony on the North Portico. The President will celebrate the 66th anniversary of the National Thanksgiving Turkey presentation, reflect upon the time-honored traditions of Thanksgiving, and wish American families a warm, safe, and healthy holiday. After the pardoning, the turkeys will be driven to George Washingtons Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens. The National Thanksgiving Turkey will be on display for visitors during Christmas at Mount Vernon, a traditional program through January 6. The turkeys will then travel to their permanent home at Morven Parks Turkey Hill, the historic turkey farm located at the home of former Virginia Governor Westmoreland Davis (1918-1922) in Leesburg, Virginia. Jaindls Turkey Farm in Orefield, Pennsylvania, gave President Obamas family two dressed turkeys that will be donated to a local area food bank. They need much more than that nationwide. Hunger in America is real. Millions are affected. Official numbers understate a growing crisis. Congress ignores it. Food stamps were cut when theyre most needed. Further cuts are planned. On December 31, millions will lose extended unemployment benefits unless Congress renews them. Both parties show little inclination to do so. Bipartisan complicity reflects indifference. On July 28, AP headlined Exclusive: Signs of Declining Economic Security, saying: Four out of 5 US adults struggle with joblessness, near poverty or reliance on welfare for at least parts of their lives. Its a disturbing sign of deteriorating economic security and an elusive American dream. Survey data exclusive to The Associated Press points to an increasingly globalized US economy, the widening gap between rich and poor, and loss of good-paying manufacturing jobs as reasons for the trend. Government data fall short of explaining things. Conditions are much worse than official reports. Most Americans struggle to get by. Impoverishment or close to it affect them. So do millions experiencing hunger. Franklin Roosevelt instituted the first Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). It began in May 1939. In 1941, he pledged freedom from want. On January 11, 1944, he delivered his last State of the Union address. He proposed a second bill of rights. This Republic had its beginning, and grew to its present strength, under the protection of certain inalienable political rights, he said. They were our rights to life and liberty. As our nation has grown in size and stature, however as our industrial economy expanded these political rights proved inadequate to assure us equality in the pursuit of happiness. His solution was economic bill of rights. He wanted one guaranteeing: Imagine if hed lived long enough to implement it. Imagine this type America today. Hunger, homelessness, unemployment and poverty wouldnt be major problems. State-sponsored class war exacerbates them. Growing millions need help. They face increasing hardships. Force-fed austerity harms Americas most disadvantaged. Their numbers are far greater than most people think. Half of US households are impoverished or bordering it. Growing millions struggle to get by. They havent enough to live on. Most households with one or more workers live from paycheck to paycheck. They have little or no savings. Theyre one missed pay day away from being unable to handle daily expenses. They risk hunger, homelessness and deep poverty. They live in the worlds richest country. It spurns its most disadvantaged. Doing so swells their numbers. They suffer out of sight and mind. Banks, other corporate favorites and super-rich elites are disproportionately favored. America was never beautiful. Its less so than ever today. Its dark side reflects reality. Obama is no Roosevelt. Hes polar opposite. Anti-populism defines his agenda. Transferring Americas wealth to its most well-off is official policy. He wants vital New Deal/Great Society programs eliminated. He wants them privatized en route to doing so. Throughout his tenure, he instituted numerous social benefit cuts. Hes got more in mind. Hes heading America toward third world status. He lies claiming otherwise. Hungry Americans dont matter. Half or more are children. Many attending schools with hot breakfasts or lunches may get their only decent daily meal. Most households receiving food stamps have at least one employed member. According to the Food Journal, they typically include a child, elderly person or a disable person, and a gross income of $744 a month. Average rents nationwide exceed $1,200 monthly. A tiny upscale Kansas City, MO 800 square-foot one bedroom apartment costs about $1,000 a month. Median rents in Americas least expensive cities range from $623 to $730 on average. Its a far cry from much cheaper earlier times. Households earning $700+ a month struggle from day to day to get by. They need help doing so. Washington provides increasingly less during hard times. Republicans and Democrats dont give a damn. Todays America is a let em eat cake society. Growing millions are on their own sink or swim. Protracted Main Street Depression era conditions persist. Things are getting worse, not better. Thanksgiving is no time for celebration. Not when hunger reflects daily reality for millions. Its been this way for years. Major media editors largely ignore it. On November 25, 2009, a New York Times editorial headlined,A Thanksgiving Toast, saying: Sitting down with friends and family today, there will be thanks for the steady currents, flowing out of the past, that have brought us to this table.And there will be prayerful thanks for the future. In November 2010, dismissive Washington Post editors headlined Thanksgivings unchanging appeal, saying: Were fortunate to be alive and fed and sheltered, and the proper response to our good fortune is not self-satisfaction but gratitude. Fact check Poverty, homelessness and hunger are at Depression era levels. Feeding America (FA) is Chicago-based. It calls itself the nations leading domestic hunger-relief charity. It serves the needy through a nationwide network of member food banks. In February 2010, it issued a report titled Hunger in America 2010. In 2014, it plans updating it. Conditions now are much worse. They were bad enough then. About 5.7 million Americans needed emergency food aid. It was over one-fourth more than in 2005. It said one in eight Americans are food insecure. Around 14 million children were affected. Its about 16 million now. They dont get enough food to eat. FA calls food insecurity a complex, multifaceted phenomenon that varies along a continuum of successive stages as it becomes more severe. Food secure households lets them accessenough food for an active, health life. (T)he existence of so many people without secure access to adequate nutritious food represents a serious national concern. More than one in three client households are experiencing very low food security or hunger a 54 percent increase compared to data FA compiled in a 2006 report. At the time, former FA CEO Vicki Escarra said: Clearly, the economic recession, resulting in dramatically increasing unemployment nationwide, has driven unprecedented, sharp increases in the need for emergency food assistance and enrollment in federal nutrition programs. Hunger in America 2010 exposes the absolutely tragic reality of just how many people in our nation dont have enough to eat. Millions of our clients are families with children finding themselves in need of food assistance for the very first time. Its morally reprehensible that we live in the wealthiest nation in the world where one in six people are struggling to make choices between food and other basic services. On November 27, FAs CEO Bob Aiken said in part: With the holiday season here and with many of us sitting down to a table full of food this Thanksgiving, its hard not to reflect on the 49 million people in our country who struggle with hunger. And its especially hard not to think of those families who earlier this month saw their SNAP benefits cut, further straining their food budgets. Weve seen throughout our network of food banks the impact that these cuts are already beginning to have with longer lines and an anticipated growth in need. Our food banks are stretched and charity alone cant make up for this cut to federal assistance. And with the possibility of further cuts to the program via the farm bill, there is real concern that the need for food will not be met. (W)e know hunger isnt seasonal its a year-round problem. Its our job to make sure that we shine a light on this issue all year, not just around the holidays. In 2012, FA said 49 million Americans were food insecure. It affected 17.6 million households. About seven million households experienced very low food security. Households with children reported a significantly higher rate than those without children, 20 percent compared to 11.0 percent. Food insecurity persists across America. Its in every county. It ranges from 2.4% in Slope County, ND to 35.2% in Holmes County, MS. Americas national average is 14.7%. Ten states are significantly higher: Hunger in the worlds richest country is intolerable. Its unconscionable. It persists. Its worsening. Its the shame of an uncaring nation. Families without enough to eat arent celebrating. Theyre struggling to find enough food to survive. Bipartisan complicity ignores them. Anti-populism is official policy. Harder than ever hard times persist. Failure to address it reflects Americas dark side. Equity and justice arent in its vocabulary. It bears repeating. Todays America is a let em eat cake society. Hard times keep getting harder.

Pleasant Grove Baptist Church in West Oakland received a letter from the city claiming that choir practice may constitute a public nuisance due to its impact to the use and quiet enjoyment of the surrounding communitys property. Still, the church intends to continue with their choir practice, and they plan to fight the citys action. What do you think? Is this yet another attack on Christianity? 
1	Saying he would be fine just taking a load off and eating in, rock icon David Bowie reportedly asked his wife, Somali supermodel and actress Iman, if they should just do lasagna for dinner again Monday. The 66-year-old singer-songwriter, musician, actor, and producer, who once reinvented himself as a gender-bending extraterrestrial rock star named Ziggy Stardust, as well as an emotionless Aryan superman named The Thin White Duke, then looked through the couples refigerator and, noted they still had a jar of Mario Batali pasta sauce and a pretty full box of lasagna noodles in the cupboard. Hon, it looks like we have most of the stuff we need for lasagna, should we just do that again? said the provocative pansexual front man who once called his ex-wife claiming that he had been kidnapped by a warlock and two witches. We could add some fresh basil, too. Im pretty sure theres some in the crisper drawer. Huh. Looks like this basil is about to go, added the man who at the height of his drug addiction sang a Christmas duet of The Little Drummer Boy with Bing Crosby. Im just going to use the dried stuff from the spice rack. David Bowie, left, and Iman shown here in this file photo. Sources confirmed the nine-time platinum recording artistwho claimed at one point in the 70s to have subsisted on a diet of red peppers, cocaine, and milkthen preheated the oven, started boiling a pot of water, and searched around inside the kitchen cabinets, at one point asking Iman if she had seen the good baking pan. In addition, Bowie, who allegedly had an affair with Rolling Stones lead vocalist Mick Jagger at the pinnacle of the glam rock era, suggested that the fridge needed a quick wipe down while grabbing a carrot, a cucumber, and a box of organic spinach to make a quick salad. Iman, one of the fashion worlds most legendary ethnic supermodels, noted philanthropist, and entrepreneur, reportedly ripped a page off of a notepad hanging on the refrigerator door and wrote Windex, aluminum foil, milk below a lengthy list of items. Uh-oh, were out of parm, said Iman, who once was referred to by Yves Saint-Laurent as his dream woman, to her husband, a larger-than-life rock superstar who once fully inhabited the persona of an alien messiah. Would you mind running out and getting some? Also, could you pick up the cool mint Listerine from CVS? And Dave, the drain in the upstairs bathroom is clogged, added one of the worlds most glamorous women. It was making this weird noise today. I heard it when I was cleaning out the tub. We need some more of that tub cleaner stuff, by the way. Bowie, whose cocaine-fueled paranoia once reportedly prompted him to draw protective pentagrams on every surface of his home, secured a chip clip onto a bag of Pirates Booty and tossed a rubber band he retrieved from the floor into the junk drawer. Sources confirmed the rock legend, recognized for mixing British mod, mime, and Japanese kabuki styles to bring art rock to a mainstream audience, pulled on a windbreaker, slipped on a pair of Asics sneakers, and reportedly spent several minutes considering his grocery list. Speculating that he would just stop off at Gourmet Garage and pick up a couple things on the way to CVS, the voracious bisexual who developed an abiding fascination with Third Reich iconography while living in Berlin with Iggy Pop, reportedly broke a dog treat in half, fed it to his pet, and rifled through a pile of mail. Hey, hon, DVR The Amazing Race now so we dont miss the opening, said the man who once hallucinated that witches wanted to steal his semen to produce a child to be slaughtered in a satanic sacrifice. And just text me if you need me to pick up anything else. Okay, love you, said the glamrock pioneer, noted for boldly reinventing himself countless times in the span of his life and career, as he opened the front door to his home. Back soon. 
3	Detroit Symbolizes Americas DeclineStephen Lendman It reflects population shifts and Depression conditions. Americas decline gets little attention. Since 1981, 42 US municipalities declared bankruptcy. Ten did so in the past four years. Expect more to follow. Hard times getting harder assures it. Detroit once symbolized industrial America. Might Motown resembles a ghost town. Its dying. It nears bankruptcy. Fifty years ago it was Americas fifth largest city. Its now 18th. In the last decade, half the population left. Its Americas ghetto. Its neighborhoods are in disrepair. Theyre decaying and dying. Half or more working aged residents have no jobs. Those with them have low-pay part-time or temp ones. They dont pay enough to live on. Poverty is extreme. Its increasing. Nearly two-thirds of Detroits children are impoverished. Theyre out of sight and mind. Dozens of schools were closed. More closures are planned. Teachers were fired. Kids arent educated. Nearly half the population is functionally illiterate. Public services are eroding en route to eliminating them altogether. One-third of Detroits 140 square miles lies vacant or derelict. Heavily blighted areas are increasing. Property crime is double the national average. Violent crime is triple. Many areas arent safe. Police are unapologetic. Go out at your own risk, they warn. In the last decade, half the force was laid off. So were hundreds of firefighters. More austerity cuts are planned. Its official policy. On March 1, Governor Rick Synder declared a financial emergency. Appointing a financial czar followed. He named bankruptcy attorney Kevin Orr. He works for Cleveland-based Jones Day. His past experience includes government service. In 1991, he was counsel for the FDICs Litigation Section. From summer 1991 mid-1995, he was assistant general counsel for the Resolution Trust Corporations Complex Litigation and Bankruptcy Section. From mid-1995 February 2000, he was in the US Justice Departments Executive Office for United States Trustees. From February 2000 January 2001, he served as Deputy Director. At Jones Day, hes involved in business restructuring and all aspects of bankruptcy. He played a lead role in Chryslers 2009 bankruptcy. Plants were closed. Jobs were lost. Wages were slashed. So were benefits. Strikes were banned. Detroits heading for the same abyss. Claiming no alternative is false. Its a Big Lie. Making the citys rich and corporations pay their fair share solves fiscal problems. Its true across America. Corrupt politicians complicit with corporate bosses want solutions imposed on the backs of ordinary people. They want them bearing the burden. Orrs now Detroits Emergency Financial Manager (EFM). His powers permit canceling union contracts, terminating pension obligations, cutting services, ending others, selling city assets at fire sale prices, and privatizing its operations. Mayor David Bing implemented deep spending cuts earlier. He fired thousands of workers. He outsourced vital services. Profiteers took full advantage. Bings got much more in mind. Orrs in charge. His job is radically restructuring Detroit. Expect the worst ahead. Hell do it on the backs of ordinary people. Hell fire city workers, cut wages and benefits, erode vital services, and end others. Hell hand over Detroit to bankers and other profiteers. Public resources will be plundered. Doing so assures greater crisis conditions. Unemployment will grow. Poverty will increase. Ordinary people will be left high and dry. Public anger followed Orrs appointment. Hes Black. Opponents call him an Uncle Tom. On March 14, they protested outside Cadillac Place. Its a landmark downtown office complex. Rainbow Push Coalitions Rev. David Bullock expressed outrage, saying: Theyre going to try to convince me that I should give up my right to vote, and put the city of Detroit in the hands of the same man who said he wasnt going to pass right-to-work. (Hes) the same man who took away the earned income tax credit.the same man (whos) taxing our pensions. Never, never! National Action Networks Rev. Charles Williams II said: Were not worried about no Kevin Orr. Uncle Toms aint nothing new. Weve had Uncle Toms for a long time. Tom Barrow is president of Citizens for Detroits Future. He said Michigans emergency manager law imposes diktat powers. It was created to oppress. It passed in mid-December. Its similar to Public Act 4. In November, voters rejected it by statewide referendum. Governor Snyder and legislators ignored them. They have no say. Draconian powers are authorized. They include appointing an EFM, undergoing bankruptcy, accepting state-imposed consent agreement terms, overruling locally elected officials, selling public assets, modifying or terminating contracts, ending pension obligations and more. Orr has diktat powers. What he says goes. Detroit residents are on their own. Theyre out of luck. Its been that way for years. Its worse now than ever. Neoliberal priorities let vital needs go begging. Money power in private hands assures it. Finance is a new form of warfare. Economies are strip-mined for profit. Communities are laid waste. Ordinary people are impoverished. Theyre left out on their own. Corrupt federal, state and local officials arrange things. They do so for greater power and self-enrichment. John McMurtry is a Progressive Radio News Hour regular. His Cancer Stage of Capitalism explains. Its new edition expands on what he wrote earlier. He discusses a money sequencing life-destroying system. Economies and communities are plundered for profit. Financial bosses are more powerful than standing armies. They take full advantage. Detroit is ground zero. It reflects whats wrong with America. It exposes predatory capitalisms failure. It represents the worst of whats coming. Ordinary people are out of luck. Greater pain and suffering will follow. Democracys nowhere in sight. Monied interests matter most. Americas criminal class is bipartisan. It conspires with Wall Street crooks. Its allied with other corporate favorites. Wealth, power and privilege alone matter. Ordinary people are marginalized and exploited. Theyre entirely left out. Their lives are wrecked. Theyre deprived of enough to live on. Theyre heading for neo-serfdom. Theyre on their own to fight back. The officials they elected are enemies. Preventing them from getting away with plundering America is top priority. Detroits a good place to start.

3	A Recession Within A RecessionBy Michael Snyder To make sure that the numbers for Q2 will look acceptable, the Bureau of Economic Analysis is about to change the way that it calculates GDP again. They are just going to keep seasonally adjusting the numbers until they get what they want. At this point, the government numbers are so full of assumptions and estimates that they dont really bear much resemblance to reality anyway. In fact, John Williams of shadowstats.com has calculated that if the government was actually using honest numbers that they would show that we have continually been in a recession since 2005. That is why I am referring to this as a recession within a recession. Most people can look around and see that economic conditions for most Americans are not good, and now they are about to get even worse. For quite a while I have been warning that another economic downturn was coming. Well, now we have official confirmation from the Obama administration that it is happening. The following is an excerpt from the statement that the Bureau of Economic Analysis releasedon Friday Real gross domestic product the value of the production of goods and services in the UnitedStates, adjusted for price changes decreased at an annual rate of 0.7 percent in the first quarter of2015, according to the second estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the fourthquarter, real GDP increased 2.2 percent. The GDP estimate released today is based on more complete source data than were available for the advance estimate issued last month. In the advance estimate, real GDP increased 0.2 percent. With the second estimate for the first quarter, imports increased more and private inventory investment increased less than previously estimated (for more information, see Revisions on page 3). The decrease in real GDP in the first quarter primarily reflected negative contributions from exports, nonresidential fixed investment, and state and local government spending that were partly offset by positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures (PCE), private inventory investment, and residential fixed investment. And actually, Q1 GDP would have been far worse if not for a very large inventory buildup. Without that inventory buildup, Q1 GDP would have been in the neighborhood of negative three percent according to Zero Hedge. Despite the happy face that most analysts are putting on these numbers, the truth is that they reveal some deeply troubling trends. One of the things that is driving this current downturn is the fact that our trade balance continues to get even worse. In other words, the gap between how much we buy from the rest of the world and how much we sell to the rest of the world is growing. During the first quarter, imports surged by 5.6 percent. That means that we are buying more from the rest of the planet than we did before. Unfortunately, during the first quarter of this year exports dropped by a staggering 7.6 percent. That means that the amount of stuff that we are selling to the rest of the planet is falling precipitously. When our trade deficit expands, we lose jobs, businesses and economic infrastructure at an even faster pace. This is why I write about trade issues so much. Our economy is being absolutely eviscerated, and the Obama administration is pushing another giant trade deal which will greatly accelerate this process. We are committing national economic suicide by running colossal trade deficits year after year. But instead of addressing our problems, our leaders just continue to conduct business as usual. And to make themselves look good, they just keep manipulating the numbers until they seem reasonable. As I mentioned above, the negative number for Q1 is causing a lot of consternation in Washington, so now the Bureau of Economic Analysis is going to modify the way that GDP is calculated once again. The following comes fromBloomberg The way some parts of U.S. gross domestic product are calculated are about to change in the wake of the debate over persistently depressed first-quarter growth. In a blog post published Friday, the Bureau of Economic Analysis listed a series of alterations it will make in seasonally adjusting data used to calculate economic growth. The changes will be implemented with the release of the initial second-quarter GDP estimate on July 30, the BEA said. Although the agency adjusts its figures for seasonal variations, growth in any given first quarter still tends to be weaker than in the remaining three, economists have found, a sign there may be some bias in the data. Its a phenomenon economists call residual seasonality. Why cant they just give us honest numbers? Meanwhile, we also learned on Friday that corporate profits declined again during the first quarter of 2015. This was the second quarter in a row that we have seen this happen. The following comes fromCNS News The BEA report also released data on corporate profits, which showed a decrease from the previous quarter. Profits from current production decreased $125.5 billion in the first quarter, compared with a decrease of $30.4 billion in the fourth, BEA said. Can you guess the last time that corporate profits declined for two quarters in a row? It was in 2008. So many of the exact same red flags that popped up seven years ago are popping up once again. I know that I must sound like a broken record, but right now there are more signals that another major economic downturn is approaching than there has been at any other time since I started The Economic Collapse Blog in 2009. Hopefully this summer will be relatively quiet, but I fully expect for events to start accelerating significantly during the second half of this year. So if you have things that you need to get done before the next crisis arrives, you better hurry up, because time is quickly running out.

2	Donald Trump Sheds Light On What He Really Thinks About Al Sharpton [VIDEO] Donald Trump has never shied away from expressing his true opinion on issues at handsomething he reinforced on a recent episode of Fox and Friends when he was asked about Al Sharptons role in stirring racial tensions. The conversation was in light of an escalation of violence against police officers. Trump was quick to call Sharpton a con man who repeatedly gets away with murder. I live in New York and I know Al Sharpton very well, Trump elaborated. Ive dealt with him many times over the years and he is a guy who I dont really believes what hes sayinghe pretends he cares deeply. Trump went on to criticize Sharpton for his actions following the execution of two NYPD officers in their patrol car. Just days after the tragedy took place, Sharpton held a press conference where he complained about the death threats he was receiving on a personal level. He argued that Sharpton was encouraging a very violent thing and adangerous thing for a lot of people. Watch Trumps full interview below and tell us what you think. Do you agree that Al Sharpton is a con man?

3	The Student Loan Delinquency Rate In The United States Has Hit A Brand New Record HighMichael Snyder The student loan debt bubble has been growing particularly rapidly in recent years. According to the Federal Reserve, the total amount of student loan debt has risen by 275 percent since 2003. That is a staggering figure. Millions upon millions of young college graduates are entering the real world only to discover that they are already financially crippled for decades to come by oppressive student loan debt burdens. Large numbers of young people are even putting off buying homes or getting married simply because of student loan debt. So why is this happening? Well, a big part of the problem is that the cost of college tuition has gotten wildly out of control. Since 1978, the cost of college tuition has risen even more rapidly then the cost of medical care has. Tuition costs at public universities have risen by 27 percent over the past five years, and there appears to be no end in sight. We keep encouraging our young people to take out all of the loans that are necessary to pay for college, because a college education is supposedly the key to their futures. But is that really the case? In fact, at this pointabout half of all college graduates are working jobs that do not even require a college degree. This is leading to mass disillusionment with the system. One survey found that 70% of all college graduates wish that they had spent more time preparing for the real world while they were still in college. And because so many of them cannot get decent jobs, more college graduates then ever are finding that they cannot pay back the huge student loans that they were encouraged to sign up for. The following is from a recentBloomberg article. Eleven percent of student loans were seriously delinquent at least 90 days past due in the third quarter of 2012, compared with 6 percent in the first quarter of 2003, according to the report by the U.S. Education Department. Almost 30 percent of 20- to 24-year-olds arent employed or in school, the study found. Everyone agrees that we are now dealing with an unprecedented student loan debt bubble, but none of our leaders seem to have any solutions. The two charts posted below come from a recent Zero Hedge article, and they are very illuminating. The first chart shows how the amount of student loan debt owned by the federal government has absolutely exploded in recent years, and the second chart shows how the percentage of student loan debt that is at least 90 days delinquent has risen to a brand new record high And things are about to get even worse. If Congress takes no action, the interest rate on federal student loans is going to double to 6.8 percent on July 1st. That rate increase would affect more than 7 million students. And debt burdens just continue to increase in size. In fact, according to one recent study, 70 per cent of the class of 2013 is graduating with college-related debt averaging $35,200 including federal, state and private loans, as well as debt owed to family and accumulated through credit cards. This is one reason why there is so much poverty among young adults in America today. As I mentioned in a previous article, families that have a head of household that is under the age of 30 have a poverty rate of 37 percent. For much more on the student loan debt bubble and how it is crippling an entire generation of Americans, please see my recent article entitled 29 Shocking Facts That Prove That College Education In America Is A Giant Money Making Scam. And of course delinquency rates remain very high on other forms of debt as well. For example, delinquency rates on home mortgages have typically been around 2 to 3 percent historically. But as you can see from the chart below, the delinquency rate on single-family residential mortgages is currently close to 10 percent Of course not. Things are good for those that have lots of money in the stock market (for now), but for the vast majority of Americans things continue to get worse. And we continue to forget the lessons that we should have learned from the financial crisis of 2008. Right now, we are seeing a resurgence of cash out financing. But this time, people are leveraging their inflated stock portfolios instead of their home equity. The following is from a CNN report The recent run-up in the market, financial advisers say, has led to a resurgence of the type of loan not seen since the end of the housing boom cash out financing. But this time, though, people arent tapping their inflated house for money. These days stock portfolios appear to be the well of choice. Financial planners say in recent months clients have taken out so-called margin loans to buy real estate, fund small business acquisitions, or to provide gap financing before a traditional loan could be secured from a bank. No one wants to be out of the market for 90 days, says Mark Brown, a financial planner for Brown Tedstron in Denver. People just dont want to sell right now. We are a nation that is absolutely addicted to debt. We know that it is wrong, but we just cant help ourselves. We are like the 900-pound man that recently died. He knew that he was eating himself to death, but he just couldnt stop. In the end, we are going to pay a great price for our gluttony. Everyone in the world can see that we are killing the greatest economy that ever existed, but we simply do not have the self-discipline to do anything about it.

I told my warbler friend whose buddy got bird flu recently, and he was like, Ken, relax, its not bird fluyou just ate some bad seeds, but still, Im kind of freaked out, said the concerned passer domesticus, adding that its pretty sure it is exhibiting at least a few of the major symptoms related to the treatment-resistant illness spreading throughout the Hunan province. As soon as I left the nest this morning, I felt like total shit. Five minutes later, Im puking all my seeds up. I dont even have any more seeds left to pukeIm just dry heaving from my beak now. The sparrow then told reporters it would try to get some thistle in its stomach and hope its condition doesnt get worse. 
1	The success of the MTV reality show Jersey Shore was a cultural phenomenon that could not be ignored in 2010, and no one was more synonymous with the media frenzy created by the program than its breakout star Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi. Yes, fucking Snooki. Please, just try to get through this story without thinking about the more-deserving peoplethere are, literally, millions of themwho should be occupying this spot instead. Snooki's profane antics and drunken fights drew in millions of viewers each week and propelled the 23-year-old to national fame, helping her to eclipseamong others it honestly would be too painful to bring upthe men and women behind the Large Hadron Collider, perhaps the most significant piece of experimental technology in centuries of scientific research, developed by people whose work in the field of physics this year forced us to entirely rethink the way we view the universe and, consequently, our very existence. Snooki got punched in the face on TV. In addition to appearing on countless talk shows this year, Snooki announced that she is currently writing a book entitled A Shore Thing. That's right! A book. Though the reader should be advised at this point to block out all the other books of actual importance released in 2010, such as the first new novel in nearly a decade from American master Jonathan Franzen, the memoirs of former president George W. Bush, or even another Stieg Larsson bestseller, which, though not the greatest piece of literature in the history of the world, at least features complete sentences and a plot structure. Just, please, don't think about those authors. Or, for that matter, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernankehell, even fucking Ryan Seacrest actually accomplished something in 2010. No, this article is about Snooki, and we're all just going to have to deal with it. As evidenced by this piece, Snooki has also dominated year-in-review lists nationwide, which, let's be honest, is as much the fault of readers as anyone else: those who continue to pay attention to this irrelevant, diminutive shrew in some weird attempt to feel better about themselves, thereby perpetuating this disgusting, cannibalistic media circus that you all purport to despise and yet continue to fuel. And to which we have to respond, or risk becoming irrelevant ourselves. Had we any faith in the American public being interested in a profile of Omar Hassan al-Bashir, who won the presidential election in Sudan as the genocide-wracked nation edged further toward a split; or award-winning Japanese architect Kazuyo Sejima; or really, almost any other living being doing almost anything else, we would be happy to oblige. So don't try to pin this whole thing on us, you fucker. We're right and you know it. But again, it's probably best to avoid thinking about it too much. It's just easier that way. Snooki, one of the most important people of 2010. Really.

I hope Jeb runs, Bush said, He would be a great president. Though, Bush says it is unknown whether his little brother, the former governor of Florida, will run yet. I have no clue of whats on his mind, Bush said, And well talk when hes ready. Jeb has not yet announced that he will be running, but he is already being viewed as a strong contender for the Republican nomination, and has been touring the country making speeches. I guarantee you, hes not looking at a poll to decided whether or not he wants to run, Bush commented, Its an internal thing. Hes checking his core. He knows what a run for presidency can do on family. What do you think? Would you vote for Jeb Bush? 
3	Working to DeathGeorge Ure and Gaye Levy, Contributors Sadly, for an increasing number of Americans, the idea of retirement at age 62 to a life rich with adventures and the once-held American dream of Golden Years has turned into cardboard, or worse. Weve identified a large number of factors which are in play and a discussion of each helps to put Working to Death into perspective. Lets address these in turn, starting with home improvement loans and HELOCs the once darlings of the financial services industry standing for Home Equity Lines of Credit. At their peak, during the go-go years of the 1990s and into beginning of the end of the housing bubble in 2007, the number of people borrowing home equity for current expenses, such as education, a new SUV, or to meet unexpected cash flow demands, skyrocketed. The problem was that most people never really paid the money back, so when the housing collapse began in earnest in 2008 (and arguably by the Case Shiller/SP Housing Index report, it continues even now with housing prices stuck at 2003 levels) hundreds of thousands faced bankruptcy. If you thought the housing collapse was done, wake up and think again. The US Attorney Legal Services web site reports an estimated 4-million delinquent mortgages are heading into foreclosure this year. Another factor not often addressed is the impact of a raging national divorce rate in the period. Depending on which source you want to consider, the divorce rate in the US jumped by between 25 and 50% between the 1950s and 1970s through 1980s levels. Thanks to court-sanctioned divorce settlements, many times a woman (especially in the 1980s) would have to refinance a family home in order to cash out the soon-to-be exs equity position. This means some increased pressure in home lending at the time, but in the follow-on period which were in now, plenty of single women from their late 50s to low 70s find that because of financial emergencies, low wages, and the pressures of parenting, they just havent been able to get the home paid off. With Social Security not keeping up with real inflation, this means thousands of aging women will have to stay in the workforce, or face the specter of losing their homes and having to move into either a very small condo, or worse: lose a lifetime of working for a paid-off home entirely by going into the rental market. And Then There is Social Security The governments stewardship of Social Security funds is another area of concern. According to the Social Security web site: The Social Security Trust Funds are the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) and the Disability Insurance (DI) Trust Funds. These funds are accounts managed by the Department of the Treasury. They serve two purposes: (1) they provide an accounting mechanism for tracking all income to and disbursements from the trust funds, and (2) they hold the accumulated assets. These accumulated assets provide automatic spending authority to pay benefits. The Social Security Act limits trust fund expenditures to benefits and administrative costs. Benefits to retired workers and their families, and to families of deceased workers, are paid from the OASI Trust Fund. Benefits to disabled workers and their families are paid from the DI Trust Fund. More than 98 percent of total disbursements in 2011 were for benefit payments. A Board of Trustees oversees the financial operations of the trust funds. The Board reports annually to the Congress on the financial status of the trust funds. By law, income to the trust funds must be invested, on a daily basis, in securities guaranteed as to both principal and interest by the Federal government. All securities held by the trust funds are special issues of the United States Treasury. Such securities are available only to the trust funds. In the past, the trust funds have held marketable Treasury securities, which are available to the general public. Unlike marketable securities, special issues can be redeemed at any time at face value. Marketable securities are subject to the forces of the open market and may suffer a loss, or enjoy a gain, if sold before maturity. Investment in special issues gives the trust funds the same flexibility as holding cash. Data on trust fund investments provide a breakdown by interest rate and trust fund for any month after 1989. Somewhere in here we could have a discussion about whether the government is really making money, in inflation-corrected terms. It would seem that the interest rate (1.85% in April of 2012) is much better than what a large bank offers to its depositors. On the day we checked, Bank of America was only paying 0.45% to its CD holders. What skews the whole equation, however, is monetary inflation (printing more money) which is happening at a fairly good clip most of the time and a fairly accurate reconstruction of the Federal Reserves M3 rate (which the Fed ever-so-conveniently stopped reporting to the public in the Alan Greenspan period) reveals that the Federal Reserves broad measure has been going up in recent weeks at about 5.0%. What most people dont realize is that by having a high inflation rate (the printing rate of the money) thats going up faster than the interest rate the government charges itself for interagency borrowing, the real purchasing power of the Social Security funds is falling behind the real rate of (money-printing) inflation. Now, is that slick, or what? Well, not if were ever expecting to get back a decent return on what we all poured in to social security, but thats another article. Sorry to mix both the short-term returns and the long-term federal money-dilution scheme into a single ball of wax, but there you have it. If you average out the first 99-years of the Federal Reserve, the money printing has average 3.24 percent per year over the period. Few bother to run out the numbers, but with the Fed M3 increasing at about 5% and Social Security interagency paper under earning less than 2%, well lets just say that Social Security Trust fund is not keeping even on. It may be doing better than most banks, but the money dilution machine is still problematic. Soaring healthcare costs is another concern, not so much because Medicaid doesnt work it does but it doesnt cover everything , and thats yet another consideration going into retirement, especially if theres a history of chronic, long sunset diseases like Alzheimers or a slow form of cancer in your genetic makeup. We could delve into this more, but to some extent the future of healthcare is in the hands of the US Supreme Court, so well let this one sit, but note in passing that its another problem people thinking of retirement have to deal with. For people who were doing well, the serial market declines, first in the 2001-2003 period, and more recently from the 2008 through 2009 period had a huge impact. A few people managed to also be led into the financial slaughterhouse by being caught with over-levered real estate, too, since that was one alternative some couples put money into thinking it would all work out. It hasnt and in our opinion, it wont. Bank Failures and More Weve all heard in the news about failures in the banking industry theyve been pretty well plastered all over the press and at the www.fdic.gov website. But what we dont hear hardly anything about is the goings on at the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, the government backstop to pension plans. The agency issued a press release way back in November of 2011 which included this somber note: Most private pensions are sound, said PBGC Director Joshua Gotbaum, but some are real sources of concern. We want to make sure they can restore themselves, and that PBGC has the resources to help. The exposure report provides projections on the future status of private pension plans and their effect on PBGCs financial status. The projection, as of Sept. 30, 2010, in PBGCs single employer program was for a deficit of $24 billion in 2020, an increase from the programs $21.6 billion deficit on that date. There is nothing good about that. Concerns About Some Multiemployer Plans For the multiemployer program, the deficit was projected in the same period to reach $9.4 billion up from $1.5 billion. Projections in the report show a nearly 30 percent chance that PBGCs multiemployer program will run out of money entirely within 20 years. As of FY 2010, the multiemployer program had $1.6 billion in assets to cover $3.1 billion in existing liabilities. Many multiemployer plans remain financially sound. Financial distress in the multiemployer program stems from funding shortfalls of a few large multiemployer plans. Unlike single-employer plans, PBGC does not acquire the assets of multiemployer plans, but instead must wait until they are completely insolvent before beginning to fund benefits. Computer simulations from the agencys Pension Insurance Modeling System project that the multiemployer program has a 6 percent chance of becoming insolvent by 2020, and a nearly 30 percent chance of insolvency by 2030. Single-Employer Program Projected Steady During Next Decade PBGC performed 5,000 simulations on the future of the single employer program, which has $78 billion in assets to cover $99 billion in pension benefits. The average projection showed an increase in future program deficits to $24 billion. None of the computer simulations projected the program to run out of money in the next 10 years. Sounds hopeful, but remember that many of the pension projections are based on government outlooks for the economy, which we have to red flag since they havent been horribly accurate lately, it seems. So what does it all come down to? In general, we could argue a number of factors are in play, but the most interesting one to us (since the two Gs live well under our incomes and live a more sedate strategic lifestyle than peers) is that most people blow retirement by not keeping their lifestyle under control. A 2010 paper by the Census Bureau (Can Americans Afford to Retire?) sums up the paradox this way: This seemingly paradoxical result can be explained by the fact maintaining pre-retirement standard of living might be more difficult for higher income groups. In addition, the top third includes people with median earnings of $100,000, which means that the households that fall into the top third category are not necessarily well-off (Munnell, et. Al., 2006). More importantly, we believe this result could very well be due to omission of housing from our calculation of wealth. Likewise, we believe that once we take housing into account in our calculations of replacement rates, this result will be drastically different. Or, it may not. The reason being that much of the paper wealth of once upper-income people has evaporated at a pretty good clip due to the declines in real estate which, though we keep hearing promises of green shoots and good times ahead, have been largely a mirage so far. That Census paper is a lot more optimistic than we are. An increasing number of Americans are growing skeptical, with one post noticing that Company(s) illegally underfunds their Pension FundKeeps the moneyClaims bankruptcyGovernment picks up the pension obligationCompany reorganizescuts wagesPublic pays for it all. Summing It All Up So no matter how much we made and thought we had saved until the house is paid off and a car for life is paid, too . . . and theres dough in the bank for taxes and excess medical not covered by Medicare . . . an increasing number of over 60s are getting a wee bit cranky about being worked to death. Now lucky for us the Two Gs we have met the requirement to have paid-up homes and a couple of paid-up cars for life. Still, we both put in work weeks of 40 hours or more. So yes, to us, retirement is just a myth. And yes again, working to death is the new reality.

2	Muslims Thought They Could Take Over This City, But Then Christians And Bikers Do THIS Not too long ago, a group of bikers known as Two Million Bikers to D.C. invaded Washington on September 11 to honor the victims of the 2001 attacks and to support Constitutional liberties. Nearly 2,000 motorcycle riders attended the event. A group of Christians recently confronted a group of about 25 Muslim protesters, who stood outside of the White House on 9/11. The members were part of what is being called the Million Muslim March. The group is reportedly standing up to discrimination. In the past 12 years since 9/11, the United States government has failed to protect and promote Constitutional liberties and human life, here and abroad, the American Muslim Political Action Committee said in a statement. We feel that accountability in government has been ignored and the time has arrived to collectively speak truth to power. AMPAC is now staging protests to raise attention for what they claim is discrimination against Muslims. Specifically, they are addressing criticism that has followed the 2001 attacks on September 11th. Muslim and non-Muslim alike were traumatized, but we as Muslims continue 12 years later to be victimized by being made the villains, the group said in a statement. These guys are basically exploiting an annual commemoration of an attack in which America lost over 3,000 lives to radical Islam, Dr. Zuhdi Jasser told reporters, Its part of this lobby of Islamist groups in America that believe America is to blame rather than taking ownership. What do you think of the organizations decision to protest on September 11? 
2	Congress Moves To Take Action After Finding THESE 9 Fabrications In Obamas Bio The media has been so focused on Ben Carson, and hasnt even bothered to pick up the story of Obama and the inconsistencies in his bio. Luckily Congress is looking to take action against his treasonous crimes. Here are 9 fabrications that have been found in Obamas bio. From IJ Review: 1. Obamas Staff Corrects WWII Story (New York Times) There you have it. Obama is a fraud and will be impeached by the time of the next election. Is Obama the worst president ever? 
1	In an effort to shorten the wait time for dialysis patients in need of a donor, the Department of Health and Human Services this week opened a new express transplant list to the public that matches candidates with either a kidney or any other organ at all. According to sources, the new system allows patients to select from a list of alternative organs, such as a heart, liver, or lung, that they would like to receive should a kidney be unavailable. By no longer restricting kidney patients to one specific donor organ, officials estimate that the average wait for transplant candidates will fall dramatically, from an average of three to five years to less than 24 hours. With over 100,000 people currently unable to find kidney transplants, this expedited list will ensure that each and every one of them receives at least some type of organ in a timely manner, said HHS Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell, adding that in some instances, patients have been ushered into surgery minutes after signing the registration form. The long wait puts unnecessary stress on those who are already sick, so we hope to alleviate that pressure by quickly locating and implanting whatever we can get our hands on. Getting a kidney is ideal, but a pancreas can be a precious gift, too, Burwell added. Whereas more than 4,000 people died annually while waiting for a transplant under the old system, the upgraded list has reportedly eliminated this problem completely, with every patient rapidly receiving a kidney or a more immediately obtainable organ. In addition to major organs, sources said the new protocols allow for kidneys to be replaced with tissue, such as nerve bundles or lumps of cartilage. The new list has reportedly drawn praise from patients, who have seen their anxiety vanish virtually overnight at the prospect of their diseased kidneys quickly being exchanged for more accessible body parts. I was so sick of leaving my fate up in the air using the old system, never knowing if Id get the transplant I needed in time, said 58-year-old diabetic Janet Martin, who selected an intestinal tract, a thymus gland, and 17 other potential backups for the kidney she has been waiting on since 2010. Now, I know theres a 100 percent chance Ill get a new organ, and theres a 5 percent chance itll be the one I really want. That certainty means so much, Martin added. I dont have to lie awake worryingIm getting a kidney or something else real soon. But despite the speedy access to transplant organs provided by the new list, critics have alleged that more affluent individuals are offered their preferred kidney alternatives, while less well-off patients are consistently presented with their least desired options. If I couldnt get a kidney, I would have been fine with a gallbladder, a cornea, a spleena whole bunch of things, said Christopher Corvese, 42, who suffers from a genetic condition that produces cysts in kidney tissue. I bet if I were a millionaire, Id probably get the heart valve I was really excited about. But, no, I got offered a face transplant, which was way, way at the bottom for me. Ill take it, of course, added Corvese. I mean, its better than nothing.

3	The Anthrax Files: US Forces Conducted Multiple Secret Anthrax Experiments in South KoreaBy Janet Phelan According to a recent report by a US/South Korea joint working group, a US military defense laboratory at Dugway Proving Grounds mailed anthrax to South Korea at least fifteen times prior to the previously acknowledged March, 2015 delivery. These other anthrax samples were delivered to Yongsan Garrison, in central South Korea, between 2009 and 2014. In addition, a 1-milliliter sample of the Yersinia pestis bacterium (which can cause the bubonic plague) was sent along with the anthrax to Osan. The United States has denied accusations that it lied in a May press release, which stated that: The laboratory biological defense training, part of the Joint United States Forces Korea Portal and Integrated Threat Recognition Program at Osan Air Base, has been halted pending further review This was the first time the training has been conducted. In an email reply to the Washington correspondent with Korean publication JoongAng Daily, Pentagon spokesman Bill Urban wrote: Following the inadvertent delivery of potentially live Bacillus anthracis, the 51st Fighter Wing at Osan Air Base correctly informed the public in the Osan area that the shipment supported the first Joint U.S. Forces Korea Portal and Integrated Threat Recognition programs training at that location. JoongAng went on to report that Urban suggested that the press release had been misunderstood and the intended meaning was that the first time training only referred to the first in Osan, not in all of South Korea. It has recently come to light that the Pentagon FedExed live anthrax to all fifty states and to nine foreign countries. The Department of Defense has declared that errors in the process of inactivating the anthrax resulted in the inadvertence wherein live anthrax was FedExed to foreign and domestic laboratories. The joint working group has refused to discuss the amount of the anthrax samples used in Yongsan, citing military secrets. The working groups conclusions are already under fire, with allegations being mounted that it relied too heavily on input from Washington. Under current regulations, the US does not need to inform the South Korean government if it sends inactive germs. Since the recent crisis involving live anthrax being sent to South Korea and elsewhere, recommendations are being considered to change this practice to include advisories to foreign countries that biological materials are being shipped in, and for what purpose. The US states that the anthrax sent to Osan was to be used to test protective gear. The US has consistently stated that North Korea maintains an offensive biological weapons program and is manufacturing weaponized anthrax and smallpox, among other agents, at a facility at Pyongyang. In response, the North Korean government has offered to throw open the doors of the Pyongyang plant and has invited the Americans in to check the facility, which North Korea states is a pesticide manufacturing plant. As reported in The Guardian, a spokesman for the North Korean National Defence Commission said, Come here right now, with all the 535 members of the House of Representatives and the Senate as well as the imbecile secretaries and deputy secretaries of the government who have made their voices hoarse screaming for new sanctions. A report from US Undersecretary of Defense Frank Kendall concerning the DoD review of the laboratory procedures which resulted in the purported failure to inactivate the anthrax has raised further questions. Kendall states that Dugway Proving Grounds has had a relatively high incidence (20%) of post-inactivation viability tests that showed unsuccessful inactivation, but failed to address all the root causes of this high incidence. (emphasis added) Kendall also makes a curious reference to an apparent intent behind the failure to inactivate anthrax at Dugway. He writes: I agree with the Review Committee that the combination of unique characteristics at DPG, to include high volume production, low sampling size, intentionally impure products, and more immediate post-inactivation viability testing are possible contributing factors.(emphasis added) The report by Kendall does not elaborate on why intentionally impure products might be utilized or manufactured at DPG. A former member of the military disagrees with the purported inadvertence of the live anthrax mailing. Speaking under terms of confidentiality, a source with former military connections had this to say about the USs biological weapons program: weaponizing bio chem materials is in full swing at government research labs (Dugway Tooele being one of the biggest as I witnessed back in the late 1980s). The obvious thing is that they could not have shipped out such quantities with the level of relevant ease if they were not in full swing. According to Department of Defense spokesperson, Adrian J.T. Rankine-Galloway, Major, U.S. Marine Corps, To date, there have been no joint working groups in addition to the Republic of Korea-United States Biological Defense Cooperation Joint Working Group. It would therefore appear that the other eight countries known to have received live anthrax from the US Japan, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Italy, Germany, Norway and Switzerland did not exhibit extensive concerns about the receipt of the active germ warfare agent. And really, whats the problem with a bio-bomb among friends, anyway? 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. Who needs bio-weapons when we have Fukushima? Just stand out in the rain, take a dip in the Pacific, have a steak from Wyoming or just breathe deep no matter where you are. Contradiction of contradiction equals confirmation. Dont forget- the US government also mailed anthrax to senators and members of the press back in September of 2001. Can you imagine that, the US government is still experimenting with biological warfare! Still, the media reports it is always some other scary group is wanting to use bio-war as a tool of terrorism! Now, which government is hypocritical in about every policy they implement? 
2	Obama Responds To Controversy Over What He Said About Muslims And Christians President Obama once again shocked the nation when he pointed to the Crusades and the Inquisition as examples of why Christians shouldnt judge Islam. Of course, he chose to give this controversial speech at the National Prayer Breakfast. And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ, Obama told the audience. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ. In fact, when White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz was questioned by the press, he responded that Obama believes that we need to be honest with ourselves and look inward, and hold ourselves accountable. Schultz claims that the comments stem from American values of equality, tolerance, fairness, civil rights, human rights, treating every human being with respect and decencyno matter their gender, their race, their faith, their sexual identity. The presidents comments this morning at the prayer breakfast are the most offensive Ive ever heard a president make in my lifetime, claimed Former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore. His opinion is one that was echoed by many Christians. He has offended every believing Christian in the United States. This goes further to the point that Mr. Obama does not believe in America or the values we all share. What do you think of Obamas comments? Are they anti-Christian and anti-American? 
3	Michigan Elementary School Confiscates Insensitive CupcakesDaisy Luther They have taken a little boys birthday cupcakes and confiscated those frosted harbingers of evil. Why? you may be asking yourself. Oh my gosh, were the cupcakes poisoned? Were there razor blades baked inside of them, fiendishly awaiting the opportunity to cut little mouths? No. Its WORSE. They had plastic green army guys on them. With plastic green GUNS. Can you imagine the fear the class must have felt when the container of cupcakes was opened and they saw all those GUNS aimed at them? Can you imagine the terror? Theres no time for a lockdown! Those cupcakes are IN THE CLASSROOM. They must have been simply paralyzed with fear. Principal Susan Wright released a statement to local media defending the decision. These are toys that were commonplace in the past, she wrote. However, some parents prohibit all guns as toys. In light of that difference, the school offered to replace the soldiers with another item and the soldiers were returned home with the student. Living in a democratic society entails respect for opposing opinions, she stated. In the climate of recent events in schools we walk a delicate balance in teaching non-violence in our buildings and trying to ensure a safe, peaceful atmosphere. Principal Wright explained in her statement that she meant no disrespect to the military. By not permitting toy soldiers on cupcakes at school, no disrespect for our military or for the brave men and women who defend our rights to have our differences was intended, she wrote. Our commitment is always to our children and creating a safe place for them to learn, grow and have respectful dialogues about their differences. (source) This incident follows closely after a boy was suspended for biting his Pop Tart in the shape of a gun. Stop and think for a moment the type of children we are creating with actions like this. Political correctness has run amok. That inanimate objects are scary. That generalizations like zero tolerance rules are more important than critically thinking about a situation. That guns are so evil anything that even represents a gun should be thrown away. That they should be fearful of anything outside a narrow set of liberal parameters. Although the principal of the school defended her position and discussed having respectful dialogues about differences, I dont really see any dialogue here. I see nothing but brainwashing. I see an action that caused a big hullabaloo about nothing on a little boys birthday. I see a media-driven agenda to create a generation of children who will never resist and who will accept anything that falls under the umbrella of being for their own safety. Schools are no longer about learning math, reading and history. Schools have become nothing more than indoctrination centers. They arent teaching children HOW to think. Theyre teaching them WHAT to think. Theyre teaching them to blindly accept authority and to allow themselves to be protected. What happens on the day these kids need to protect themselves and theres no benevolent principal around to take the army guys off the cupcakes? The schools are training a society of victims. Dont let your child be one of them. Daisy Luther is a freelance writer and editor.

1	With its combination of flickering fluorescent lights, seats facing a Delta security checkpoint, and day-old lo mein noodles sticking to its teal-colored tiled floors, Memphis Airport's Panda Express is now the the nation's most depressing place, sources confirmed Tuesday. 'We found listening to alternating English and Spanish safety announcements while eating orange chicken at 10 in the morning to have a soul-crushing quality unlike anywhere else in America,' said US News & World Report list editor Brian Kelly, adding that the chinese fast food restaurant became the nation's saddest location after overtaking a concession stand at a Flint, MI, dollar-movie theater. 'The Panda Express had been holding steady at number two for several years, but once they switched from red and yellow paper plates decorated with Chinese dragons to plain-white Styrofoam containers, that took it over the top.' Other locations that made this year's list were a Boca Raton, FL, burn ward, the House of Representatives, and wherever 34-year-old Fairfax, VA, resident Nate Clement happens to be. 
1	As an exhausted President Obama worked his way through a long and stressful week marked by his political opponents resounding victory in the midterm elections, sources within the White House confirmed that the commander-in-chief summoned presidential castrato Loreto Caffarelli into the Oval Office yesterday evening to soothe his fraying nerves. Dressed in silk flounces and gold filigree robes, the castrato, who since a childhood gelding procedure in 1982 has calmed five presidents with his angelic mezzo-soprano, was reportedly instructed to stand at the center of the rug bearing the presidential seal and await the request of the weary head of state, who was meeting with senior advisers. Sing me something from The Birth Of Flowers, Obama is reported to have said, massaging his temples as the castrated 39-year-old, known for his powerful treble voice, broke into an aria from the 17th-century opera. Ah, yes, beautiful. Beautiful. Its just magnificent, added Obama, who is said to have leaned back in his chair behind the Resolute desk, closing his eyes and letting out a slow sigh of relief as the presidential castrato, accompanied by lyre, delivered a performance sources described as otherworldly. Caffarelli garnered favor early in Obamas presidency with the exquisite, ethereal register of his voice, according to officials. He is often seen accompanying the nations chief executive to state dinners, Cabinet meetings, security briefings, 11th-hour budget negotiations, and high-powered talks with top diplomats, as well as family outings to Camp David and Marthas Vineyard. During lengthy international trips aboard Air Force One, the president is known to dismiss his aides and spend hours listening to the castrato in rapt silence. Reports indicate Obama even relied on the neutered singer during the difficult early morning hours of the 2011 raid on Osama bin Ladens compound, calling him down to the Situation Room to perform Schuberts Ave Maria on three separate occasions before rewarding him with a valuable American Buffalo gold bullion coin. According to historians, the White House castrato program dates back to 1798, when King Charles Emmanuel IV of Sardinia presented John Adams with the gift of famed 23-year-old castrato Bruto di Somma, commonly referred to by politicians and newspapers of the time as The Angel Voice Of Our Republic. The melodious eunuchs have reportedly served to relax and instill focus in American presidents ever since. John F. Kennedy is said to have installed risers in the Oval Office for a castrati trio in 1962, later confiding that without their poignant performances of Handels Lascia Chio Pianga and Scarlattis Sedecia oratorio, he would not have made it through the 13 days of the Cuban missile crisis without suffering a nervous breakdown. Presidential staffers have described the tones of Caffarellis voice echoing through the West Wing in the evening as haunting and unlike either woman or boy. He truly is our White House nightingale, said Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, who remarked that during a recent bout of presidential insomnia, the castrato was called to the bedside of Obama and the first lady, where he stood singing a selection of soothing Baroque cantatas and refilling a glass of wine on the nightstand. Ill never forget him being squeezed into the back of a crowded East Room to perform a Carissimi motet as the president signed the Affordable Care Act into law. It was clear to me then how important this elegant virtuoso had become to all of us, McDonough added. There wasnt a dry eye in the room. Former administration officials told reporters Caffarelli is housed in luxurious quarters below the White Houses Vermeil Room, where he engages in a rigorous training regimen: Each day, he rehearses the presidential canon of operatic classics, spending hours performing difficult trills and coloratura passages, and takes considerable time to press his cravats and meticulously maintain his collection of brocade waistcoats. The entirely beardless singer often practices in front of a mirror, sources said, so he can learn to avoid any unnecessary facial expressions that might displease the 44th president. Like previous presidents, Obama has become incredibly protective of his castrato during his time in office, said historian Bernard Sheckland, adding that the president has repeatedly rebuffed offers from Saudi prince Salman bin Abdulaziz to name his price for Caffarelli. But like others before him, Obama demands fierce loyalty in return. Youll recall that Nixon went through no fewer than seven presidential castrati. Their many performancesas well as their bitter, profanity-laced dismissals from serviceare of course preserved on his White House tapes. At press time, a missed note by Caffarelli had reportedly caused Obama to smash a dish from the Reagan state china service against the wall and angrily drive the castrato out the Oval Offices east doors. 
3	Al Qaeda Goes to Syria: How to Build an Emirate OvernightBy Ulson Gunnar With what money? With what political support? How do you pass the various borders between Pakistan and Syria to even arrive in your new emirate? Like a narrative of a Saturday morning cartoon, the New York Times article, Al Qaeda Turns to Syria, With a Plan to Challenge ISIS, asks us to suspend disbelief, reporting: Al Qaedas top leadership in Pakistan, badly weakened after a decade of C.I.A. drone strikes, has decided that the terror groups future lies in Syria and has secretly dispatched more than a dozen of its most seasoned veterans there, according to senior American and European intelligence and counterterrorism officials. The NYT also claims: The operatives have been told to start the process of creating an alternate headquarters in Syria and lay the groundwork for possibly establishing an emirate through Al Qaedas Syrian affiliate, the Nusra Front, to compete with the Islamic State, from which Nusra broke in 2013. This would be a significant shift for Al Qaeda and its affiliate, which have resisted creating an emirate, or formal sovereign state, until they deem conditions on the ground are ready. Such an entity could also pose a heightened terrorist threat to the United States and Europe. It is extraordinary that Al Qaeda can openly announce this, so openly it is covered in the New York Times, and that there is any chance of it actually taking place (assuming the Western World really is fighting a War on Terror). It is equally extraordinary that the New York Times would make such an announcement without enumerating just what this emirate entails or with what resources Al Qaeda had to implement it with. The NYT describes Al Qaedas emirate as a formal sovereign state, and little else. A formal sovereign state requires many things the New York Times failed to mention, among which are: Even for existing nation-states, getting all of this right is an immense challenge. Yet Al Qaeda and its Syrian franchise Al Nusra seem to have made great progress already laying such groundwork. For instance, Al Nusra has police, runs schools, has hospitals and clinics, obviously has an army, and clearly has no trouble finding money. The real question is, how have they managed to do this? This is a particularly easy question to answer if one reads between the lines of even US and European newspapers. For example, in its 2013 article titled, Islamist Rebels Create Dilemma on Syria Policy, the New York Times admits: Nusras hand is felt most strongly in Aleppo, where the group has set up camp in a former childrens hospital and has worked with other rebel groups to establish a Shariah Commission in the eye hospital next door to govern the citys rebel-held neighborhoods. The commission runs a police force and an Islamic court that hands down sentences that have included lashings, though not amputations or executions as some Shariah courts in other countries have done. Nusra fighters also control the power plant and distribute flour to keep the citys bakeries running. While the NYT attempts to claim this is all funded by stolen oil, it must be remembered that someone must buy that stolen oil. The Syrian government is not buying it, so who is? The answer is given by NYTs admission of Al Nusras strongest influence being in Aleppo, right across the border from Turkey who clearly is both buying stolen oil from Al Nusra (and the Islamic State) as well as subsidizing their occupation of Syria in many other ways. It is interesting that NYT mentions Al Nusras control over bakeries. Controlling bakeries and distributing bread to locals is one of the key activities prescribed by US strategy papers in winning over local populations. It should then be no surprise to find out who is providing these Al Nusra-controlled bakeries with a steady supply of flour, the United States. In the Washington Posts article, also published in 2013, U.S. feeds Syrians, but secretly, it is stated that: In the heart of rebel-held territory in Syrias northern province of Aleppo, a small group of intrepid Westerners is undertaking a mission of great stealth. Living anonymously in a small rural community, they travel daily in unmarked cars, braving airstrikes, shelling and the threat of kidnapping to deliver food and other aid to needy Syrians all of it paid for by the U.S. government. The Washington Post, in the same article, even admits that most of the residents believe the flour is from Al Nusra, since it is Al Nusra passing out the bread it is made from: The bakery is fully supplied with flour paid for by the United States. But [local resident] Waisi credited Jabhat al-Nusra a rebel group the United States has designated a terrorist organization because of its ties to al-Qaeda with providing flour to the region, though he admitted he wasnt sure where it comes from. Reading either the NYT article or the Washington Post piece separately would leave readers confused. Reading them together makes it clear that Al Nusras ability to create the groundwork for Al Qaedas upcoming emirate is owed entirely to the United States and its coalition allies, including Turkey. Jubhat Al Nusra, a US State Department listed foreign terrorist organization, is considered one of the largest and most influential forces on the battlefield in Syria fighting Damascus, second only to the self-proclaimed Islamic State. Stanford University in its report titled, Mapping Militant Organizations: Jabhat al-Nusra, admits that: Al-Nusra is one of the best-equipped rebel groups in Syria Second only to ISIS, al-Nusra attracts the most foreign fighters among rebel groups in the Syrian civil war. These fighters mostly come from the Middle East, but also from Chechnya and European states, with a smaller number from more distant countries like Australia and the United States. Considering the immense resources admitted by the United States, the European Union, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar pledged to rebel groups in Syria, an alarming question arises when considering how much better equipped and funded Al Nusra appears to be. Where precisely are they getting more funding to be so much better equipped than rebel groups the US and its allies are pouring billions of dollars into? How is Al Nusra able to acquire more resources than the combined efforts of America, Europe and the Persian Gulf? The answer is just as alarming. It is not a coincidence that the US has spent billions on training programs for rebel groups that do not exist and are not currently fighting on the Syrian battlefield. The money was truly spent, but not on rebels. Instead, the money, through Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar, has gone straight into Al Nusras war chests, armories and administrative budgets. The proof stares the world in the face each day with headlines of Al Nusras spanning exploits amid Syrias grinding war. And as much has even been admitted. Articles like the Independents, Turkey and Saudi Arabia alarm the West by backing Islamist extremists the Americans had bombed in Syria, the New York Times, U.S. Relies Heavily on Saudi Money to Support Syrian Rebels, and the BBCs, Arming Syrian rebels: Where the US went wrong, add up to paint a stark picture of a United States and the coalition of allies it leads, intentionally building up Al Nusra and sustaining its occupation and entrenchment in Syria. This groundwork, courtesy of the United States and its allies, is what Al Qaeda is building its emirate on. No explanation is ever given as to how the fictional character, Cobra Commander, could supply the cartoon battlefield of the popular American cartoon, G.I. Joe, each week with a new army of fully equipped villains. No explanation is needed because it is a cartoon. However, for the New York Times, a prominent American newspaper, to announce Al Qaedas plans to move to Syria but give no explanation as to how they are doing so politically or financially, is further evidence of just how inconvenient the truth actually is. Al Qaedas entire history since its inception in the 1980s to present day isa story of state-sponsored terrorism and proxy military campaigns. There is no possible means for Al Qaeda to have accomplished any of what it did without vast state-sponsorship behind it. And there is no possible way for it to do so today without vast state-sponsorship. This is why the New York Times refuses to ask difficult questions or quantify just what precisely is required to build Al Qaedas new emirate apparently overnight. Ulson Gunnar, a New York-based geopolitical analyst and writer especially for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook. The Global Elite propping up and shuffling around Al Qaeda and ISIS appears to be critical for creating a cover narrative to move forward fracturing middle eastern nations. Creating the large Kurdish homeland (a state nearly as large as many surrounding nations) will require large sections of territory taken out of Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. As well, Iraq is to be formally splintered into three sections. The Wall Street Journal floated the idea of fracturing the United States in a Peggy Noonan column last summer. More chaos! The CIA and MI-6 Created Al Qaeda originally to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan in the 1980s. Their membership was largely recruited from The Muslim Brotherhood in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Osama bin Laden was their paymaster, using Saudi money to hide the U.S. and U.K. involvement. Later Al Qaeda would be used against Russia in Chechnya and against Yugoavia in the 1990s and against Lybia in 2010, as documented in CIA: Crime Incorporated of America. The same Al Qaeda forces were then smuggled into Syria to destroy that nation. There they morphed into ISIS and Al Nusera. Dont believe that these groups are fighting each other or that there are moderate rebels. They take on different names to keep everyone confused. And of course, this article is correct. What an abomination! Doesnt the US know that if you dance with the devil you get burned? Very nice article, thanks Ulson. 
2	Obama Just Attacked Fox News Again So Heres How They Responded... Epic Almost anyone would agree that it is not a Presidents job to analyze and attack a news network, yet that seems to be exactly what President Obama is doing. In a recent interview, he criticized Fox News. Footage of his comments can be seen below: Shortly thereafter, James Rosen appeared on the network to respond to the President. Only one of two things can be true, he began. Either this largest of cable news audiences knows what President Obama knows, namely that Fox News is, as he frames it, is a slanted arm of the Republican party but still prefers to get its news from such a source, in which case we would assuredly be a center-right nation. Or, he continued, this largest of cables news audiences just hasnt caught on to what is so obvious to the president and his aides, isnt sophisticated enough to see what they see, in which case the White House is effectively insulting the intelligence of the American people. What do you think? Is Obama digging his own grave with his comments? 
1	A family of Mexican migrant workers was thrilled to find its picture on the cover of the Jan. 25 issue of The Economist, vegetable farmhand, factory laborer, and fruit picker Luis Moreno reported Monday. The issue that made the Morenos famous. 'Imagine my surprise when I walked past the newsstand and saw my own face on the cover of a magazinea very respected international publication, no less,' said Moreno, 34, speaking with the aid of a translator. 'I couldn't believe it. I opened the magazine and there we were again, right there under the headline, 'Hard Harvest: The Enduring Plight Of Migrant Workers In America.' I ran to my wife with a copy of the issue as fast as I could and said, 'Hey, Rosa, we're famous!' Ever since losing his job as a mechanic's assistant in Mexico City four years ago, Moreno, his wife Rosa, and their three young sons have roamed the American South and Midwest in search of seasonal labor. 'Judging by the scenery and the size of little Esteban, I am guessing the photo was taken in north Texas, shortly after the October harvest,' Moreno said. 'We were relocating from the lower Rio Grande valley to Iowa, where I can usually find winter work in the slaughterhouses or the pork-processing plants. How lucky we were to be on that particular road that day!' Continued Moreno: 'I do not specifically remember anyone taking my picture, but that is not surprising if we were in the middle of traveling. It gets very tiring, of course, and sometimes you do not pay attention to distractions.' Moreno praised The Economist's photo editor for choosing the cover image. 'The clothes we were wearing created a very interesting pastiche of colors, which is probably why he chose that particular shot,' Moreno said. 'Also, the photographer caught us at a moment when our expressions powerfully conveyed the great weariness we were feeling.' The seven-page cover story, which featured a second photo of the Moreno family inside the magazine, focused on George W. Bush and Mexican president Vicente Fox's long-running dispute over migrant workers and the legalization of undocumented Mexicans in the U.S. 'I was so excited,' Moreno said. 'I had a little money saved, enough for three copies. I sent one home to Mexico to my grandmother, I put one away to keep nice, and the other I used to show all of my friends.' Within hours of the issue hitting newsstands, Moreno said he began hearing from friends, coworkers, and relatives. Guillermo Nunez (left), Luis Moreno's best friend, shows off the issue. 'I call home to my mother in Oaxaca whenever I can, just to make sure everyone is okay, especially our little Juanita, who is too young to travel,' Moreno said. 'The first thing she says to me is, 'Your cousin Carlos called to say he saw you in The Economist. He says to call him right away. My son, the celebrity!'' Rosa said the cover story has made her and the rest of the Moreno clan the talk of the migrant-worker community. 'It's amazing how many people have seen it,' Rosa said. 'We were passing through Sebastian on the way to Progreso, and we stopped to visit some old friends from Mexico City who found work in a tannery. The first thing out of everyone's mouth was, 'Here comes the cover girl!' You should have seen me blush.' 'Our friend Miguel and his wife were teasing us, calling us 'undocumented migrants' like they did in the story,' Rosa added, 'but it was all in good fun.' Moreno, who read the article with the help of a translator, said he felt The Economist's assessment of migrant workers and their plight was 'evenhanded and intelligent.' 'Basically, the author of the article said migrant workers are net contributors to the economy of a country because they are disproportionately of working age, and the receiving country has not had to pay for their education,' Moreno said. 'And they pointed out that migration does not seem to increase unemployment among the native-born.' 'To be fair, it did say it may reduce their pay,' Rosa said. 'But I agree with Luis that it certainly was a fairer look at the subject than I have come to expect.' 'I've been treated badly by many people throughout my life,' added Rosa, lowering her eyes to the floor. Though he does not expect to appear on another magazine cover any time soon, Moreno expressed hope that one day his family will have the luck to be interviewed by a Ph.D candidate conducting research in one of the seasonal worker camps. 'It's amazing what a complex system of social ties we itinerant workers maintain, considering that we are always in motion and have only limited access to modern communications,' Moreno said. 'Don't you think that would make a fascinating subject for a dissertation?' 
3	Can Technology Liberate Us From The State?By Emily Pont We must be individuals practicing non-compliance. We must give them too many pieces to pick up. Julia Tourianski, BraveTheWorld Technology has undoubtedly revolutionised our daily, standard way of life with the development of the Internet opening up digital realms to a world which was once only touched upon in fiction. Limitless information is now instantly available at our fingertips, we can be constantly informed of events occurring across the globe and have the ability to connect with anyone in the world at any given time, in seconds. The revolution of the digital age allowed for the expression of information, ideas and passions on a worldwide scale like weve never seen before. This is the gift of the digital age, the most spectacular and revolutionary period of change the world has ever known. Jeffrey Tucker, A Beautiful Anarchy However, with all revolutions comes adversaries. In this case, those who will attempt to turn this progress and innovation against the individual. Those who will abuse this technology for the use of repressive regimes. Bending it to their will in order to collectivize and categorize us, contributing to the brutal annihilation of our basic human rights and personal freedom. These oppressors are government institutions and elite establishments. Operating for this very reason the eradication of our individual liberty and the expansion of their authority and power. As Edward Snowden revealed in 2013, the NSA, along with many other agencies such as the FBI and the CIA, are conducting mass surveillance programs to collect citizens data on a daily basis. Under the PRISM program, service providers including Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and YouTube have allowed the NSA to collect communications data for analysis. This, in turn, allows for compromise and the complete exploitation of our personal information, in the murky hands of corrupt organisations. And this is only one example of the many programs currently in process for the purpose of destroying privacy. To learn more about Snowdens revelations, visit EdwardSnowden.com. It is spine chilling to imagine the possibility that at this very moment all of our personal data, that we believed to be secure, can be viewed and recorded by complete strangers. This is the staggering reality. I think Edward Snowden articulates the thought of this for us all, I dont want to live in a world where everything I say, everything I do, everyone I talk to, every expression of creativity and love or friendship is recorded. Although situations are grave, great power is held by crooked establishments and that dirty conversation you had last night with your co-worker could currently be the subject of an NSA employees entertainment, circumstances are not hopeless. Individuals and groups dedicated to liberating the people and taking back our freedoms are developing the technology to fight back, to resist the force and coercion of the state, and to negate its existence within our society. Software and applications resisting government intervention are rapidly being developed The development of cryptocurrencies and the blockchain technology has undeniably evoked strong agitation within government powers regulating conventional currency. Digital currencies hold the capacity to completely undermine central authoritys monetary control. One of the most liberating aspect of cryptocurrencies, with the most prominent being Bitcoin, is the fact that they are decentralized- with no single institution or government controlling their usage and supply. This disengages government institutions from misusing these currency and prevents their intervention within trade. Individuals are in charge of their own money, keys, and wallets. And do not have to worry about their money in the hands of inevitable mismanagement by untrustworthy elites. Cryptocurrencies have also expressed that when privatized and outside of coercive regulation, control, and the violence of centralized institutions holding the monopoly on money, the ability for entrepreneurial innovation within the aspects of currency can flourish greatly. As in projects like the Dark Wallet, a wallet for cryptocurrencies which aims to go further than the basic privacy of standard wallets, to make transactions virtually untraceable, ensuring privacy, anonymity and individual liberty on a new level. This project and many aspects of cryptocurrencies are far from perfect, however the development of these types of technologies articulates the progress that is being made and the importance of protecting our liberty, freedom, and privacy from the corruption of state control. And when I realized that Bitcoin had the ability to undermine every government on the entire planets ability to rage war, I know I had to get involved and start promoting Bitcoin full-time. Roger Ver. On to other areas: The gun control debate is a long and arduous one, but as TJ Martinell stated in a recent selfnews Post article, the gun control battle is a choice between a police state and a free society. And it truly is. It comes down to the question: Do we want to be ruled by and at the mercy our oppressors, with the state expanding its systemic control and possessing our firearms? Or do we want to live in a free society? Where our individual freedoms are not being attacked, rather the individual is empowered. Giving people the ability to access firearms to protect themselves and others around them. An organisation at the heart of the resistance is Defense Distributed. Operating in Austin, Texas, Defense Distributed challenges state centralized regulation and authority by introducing firearms to the sphere of 3D printing. The corporation gained notoriety in 2013 after successfully firing the worlds first fully 3D printed pistol. The specifically chosen white plastic pistol, fittingly named The Liberator, symbolizes the unworldly nature of the 3D printable firearm, a world not comprehended by the state. A world of individual liberty. Since then the group has continued to fight for and protect our 1st and 2nd amendment rights. Defense Distributed describes its purposes as: to defend the human and civil rights to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by the United States Constitution and affirmed by the United States Supreme Court; to collaboratively produce, publish, and distribute to the public information and knowledge related to the digital manufacture of arms. The ideology behind Defense Distributed goes further than enforcing our amendment rights, its about putting the power of production in the peoples hands. Its about preventing government forces from furthering their control and management over firearms, and digital information regarding firearms, in the future. Its about decentralizing power. To those who wish to disarm and deny us the right to protect ourselves: come and take it. Governments, whose pupils we are, have naturally found nothing better to do than to school us in fear and horror of their destruction. But as governments in turn are the negation of individuals or of the people, it is reasonable that the latter, waking up to essential truths, should gradually come to feel a greater horror at its own annihilation than that of its masters. Anselme Bellegarrigue, An Anarchist Manifesto The Silk Road incorporated three major components advocating for our privacy and liberty, encryption, the Tor onion network and Bitcoin. Designed for the purpose of allowing free, voluntary trade, without the intervention of the state, Silk Road operated within the Tor network. An open, free software that helps defend against network surveillance and prevents your Internet connection and actions from being viewed by the state. The website symbolized the way in which technologies fighting against the coercion of the state can be implemented into practical systems. Silk Road expressed how trading networks, usually in the hands of elite powers, can operate successfully and with much less violence outside of the control of these powers and governments. These are just a few examples of the technologies that can liberate us from governmental control, and contribute to the negation of oppressive governance within society. The states tyrannical reign can be overcome. Its about persisting in the resistance of, and actively participating in denying the state the ability to hold coercive control over us. And if youre still feeling without hope, take faith in the words of Dread Pirate Roberts, the founderof the Silk Road: Some day, we could be a shining beacon of hope for the oppressed people of the world just as so many oppressed and violated souls have found refuge here already. Will it happen overnight? No. Will it happen in a lifetime? I dont know. Is it worth fighting for until my last breath? Of course. Once youve seen whats possible, how can you do otherwise? How can you plug yourself into the tax eating, life sucking, violent, sadistic, warmongering, oppressive machine ever again? How can you kneel when youve felt the power of your own legs? Felt them stretch and flex as you learn to walk and think as a free person? I would rather live my life in rags now than in golden chains.

Crypto currency is the ultimate fiat currency. If you dont physically hold it, you dont really own it Can we liberate block chain from the tight grip of top international bankster Larry Summers and his cohorts? Technology is a double edged sword and when we are grappling in the dark it can rip us apart. Technology has been and will remain your enemy. Can Technology Liberate Us From The State? Thats not even a hard question. AI wont (or shouldnt) retain biases in the face of contradictory evidence. That right there gets rid of partisan adherence to opinions. Plus, if the PIAAC studies show us anything, its that the average adult is woefully inadequate. cognitively speaking. Only 1% of adults in the OECD have the literacy and numeracy required to properly evaluate competing, complex narratives. And brains are actually very bad at overcoming biases there are all manner of cognitive shortcuts that we use to avoid having to re-process data for every decision. Heuristics (mental shortcuts) and informational inertia (refusal to look things up) should not be a part of any sensibly-constructed AI (and if such shortcomings were built-in to begin with, a goal-seeking AI would find a way to get rid of them because they produce sub-optimal results). Furthermore, human memory is actually very mutable its less a snapshot, and more like a series of impressionistic daubs. Think of the last conversation you had, where there was a point in contention that was a hard fact that you kinda knew. I had such a conversation today at lunch, where the question arose as to the proportion of owner-occupier mortgages that were interest-only. I had the number about 25% in my head; my mate thought it was much MUCH lower and that I must have been thinking of all mortgages, not owner-occupier. That made me second-guess my recollection, because I know that human memory is very mutable. Luckily I had my phone, so it took less than 15 seconds for me to find where I got the 25% number from. I was right, and that changed the tenor of the conversation from interest only is not as big a problem as you think to Actually, that number is kinda scary. A well-configured unsupervised learning machine would have almost-instantly confirmed the number and the source, and the second-guessing would simply not occur. (In fact the question would not have arisen, since if my mate was an AI he would have confirmed the number in the background). I long for a world where everyone can instantaneously absorb the sophomore mathematics required to understand the Arrow Impossibility Theorem: if 10% of adults genuinely grokked Arrow, democracy (and therefore the very notion of a legitimate State) would stand less of a chance than organised religion. I applaud the articles opening paragraph. So powerful and spot on. Information is useless to the uneducated person. They will continue to hear what they want to hear without a foundation of knowledge, systems with which to test new information. We had better start preparing for a world without the Grid. There are too many thousands of unprotected miles of it. People twelve thousand miles away with a lap top can send us back to 1875. And we dont have spare parts, nor are they made in this country. it will either enslaves to the point of becoming drones in a hive or free us, either way it will be exponential as time passes by, but i believe the state will always exist. What happens if the govt decides to shut down the internet and/or simply buy all the crypto currencies? 
1	The 1,080-foot, 300,000-ton oil tanker Shell Global Explorer, which sank off the coast of Newfoundland last month, will provide a welcome habitat for many diverse species of endangered marine life, Shell Oil Company executives announced with a straight face Tuesday. The new habitat, moments before sinking. 'In its new resting place, far beneath the surface of the North Atlantic, the Global Explorer is host to countless fish and an infinite variety of marine vegetation,' a press release from Shell read without a trace of irony. 'A ship that once helped run life above the waves now houses life beneath them.' The reading of the press release preceded public statements from Shell executives. 'We in the petroleum industry have long believed that we have a responsibility to protect and conserve the environment in our daily business operations,' said Shell CEO Steven L. Miller to reporters in the face of all available evidence. 'We view this commitment to projects that will conserve and protect the marine ecosystem as an important investment in our future.' 'At Shell, we're proud to provide a niche for the struggling denizens of our oceans,' said Shell vice-president of international shipping Dennis Gallsworthy, who apparently intended his words to be taken seriously. Somehow maintaining his composure despite being able to hear the things he was saying, Gallsworthy added, 'We have a strong commitment to protecting and preserving sea life.' On Sept. 27, radio messages from the tanker indicated it had suffered extensive damage to its hull following an explosion, which pierced its overloaded crude-oil tanks. By the time the ship slid to the bottom, Shell public-relations officials were touting its potential as an artificial habitat, often while looking straight into reporters' eyes. 'The many species of fish native to Newfoundland's Grand Banks have in recent years increasingly struggled to find feeding and breeding grounds,' Miller said, as if Shell were deeply concerned with these circumstances and not, in fact, partially at fault for them. 'We must take all available steps to help reestablish these species in their native waters.' Hoping to both deflect blame and take an opportunity for self-promotion, Miller took aim at the commercial fishing industry without so much as a smirk. 'The Global Explorer's new resting place will provide shelter for countless threatened, often over-harvested fish,' he said. 'At Shell, we're proud to use our multibillion-dollar, globe-spanning resources to aid a worthy environmental cause.' Not all press reaction has been positive. 'Once again, Shell has demonstrated its unique brand of environmentalism, this time to the life of our planet's oceans,' Mother Jones environmental reporter Neil Taylor said Tuesday. 'The sunken hulk of the Shell Global Explorer, which hauled billions of gallons of crude oil during its operational lifetime, will have an impact on aquatic life for hundreds of years to come.' Shell reacted quickly to these and other statements, working with mainstream news sources to tell its side of the story. 'Once again, Shell has demonstrated its unique brand of environmentalism, this time to the life of our planet's oceans,' read a full-page ad from Shell that will appear in Wednesday's edition of USA Today. 'The sunken hulk of the Shell Global Explorer, which hauled billions of gallons of crude oil during its operational lifetime, will have an impact on aquatic life for hundreds of years to come.' 'We're proud of what we've done for the planet,' Miller said, possibly truthfully. 'And believe me when I say that at Shell, we're committed to changing our world forever.' 
1	Just 15 minutes away from Dulles International Airport yesterday, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice reportedly shouted to herself, muttered an expletive under her breath, and made a sharp U-turn across four lanes of highway when she realized she had left her interpreter at home, Deputy Secretary of State John D. Negroponte confirmed. 'Secretary Rice has had a lot on her mind recently, and even though she left her interpreter out in an obvious place the night before her important visit to the Mideast, well, sometimes these things happen,' said Negroponte, who claimed that frustrating mistakes occur among high-ranking officials more than one would think. 'Good thing her toll-booth collector had a thick Pakistani accent.' Rice, reportedly driving at speeds exceeding 100 mph, called an assistant when she was 10 minutes away from her house and ordered him to have the interpreter ready as soon as she pulled into the driveway. 
3	Who Really Owns Your Home? Detroit Preparing to Foreclose on 142,000 Residents By 2016Joshua Krause It calls into question whether you even own your property in the first place. After all, do you really own it if you have to keep paying for it? It seems to closely resemble the medieval system of serfdom. The peasants didnt own the land they worked on. They had to pay a yearly fee for the right to work that land, which went towards the nobles and knights. It was protection money. So at least they had the benefit of protection from the warrior class in those societies. Can you say the same of your local police? I digress. In reality, you dont own your house or the land it sits on, even if its been paid in full. Thats another benefit those peasants have on us. They didnt have to pay some bank for decades, only to have their land taken from them when they didnt pay their yearly fee. They were never under the illusion that the land belonged to them. I doubt the people of Detroit have any illusions either. Theyre facing an unimaginable crises that threatens to put tens of thousands of residents on the streets. The city government is about to show us once and for all, who really owns the land. This year in Detroit, there have been 22,000 foreclosures on properties whose owners failed to pay property taxes three years in a row. Of those, 10,000 are estimated to be occupied, meaning this years foreclosures are set to oust about 27,000 Detroiters from their homes. Thats a large number in a dwindling city with fewer than 700,000 residents, but the figures are set to get even worse. In the next couple of months, Wayne Countys treasurer will be serving foreclosure notices on 110,000 more properties, 85,000 of which are in Detroit, according to its chief deputy treasurer David Szymanski. With half of those Detroit properties estimated to be occupied, this means a further 115,000 Detroiters might lose their homes next year. In a city supposedly trying to attract residents rather than lose them, this means a potential 142,000 Detroitersone-fifth of the citys populationwill be shown the door within the next year and a half. The city has yet to announce plans for accommodating those who get evicted. So theyre basically going to evict the bottom fifth of the city in one fell swoop. What kind of country do we live in, where a city can look their citizens in the eye and say Sorry, youre not good enough for us. You dont make enough money to live in the poorest city in America. Youre not rich enough to grace the bottom of the barrel. Theyre really prepared to throw their citizens out on the coldest and meanest streets of America, while their fiscally and morally bankrupt government spends 450 million dollars on a brand new hockey stadium. That is just wicked. Somehow I dont think this is going to end well for the city. I dont think theyre going to be able oust 142,000 of their poorest and most desperate residents. These people dont have anything left to lose, and there arent enough cops to evict them at gunpoint. If this comes to a head, then the residents of Detroit should prepare themselves for the next major American riot.

1	Saying that, hey, it beats nothing, Americans across the nation expressed gratitude today that Shellie Dean Zimmerman, the Florida woman accused of lying to police about husband George Zimmermans finances while he was imprisoned this year for the death of teenager Trayvon Martin, has been officially charged with perjury under state law. Look, no matter how anything else turned out, Shellie Dean Zimmerman has still been charged with the offense of lying to authorities, so, justice served, right? Maryland resident Abby Liptak told reporters on Monday, noting that while its unfortunate George Zimmerman was found innocent over the weekend of murdering an unarmed black teenager, shes at least glad his wife will be tried for a third-degree felony. So you thought you could get away with perjury, did you, Mrs. Zimmerman? Well, not so fast, Shellienot so fast! Liptak additionally told reporters that if Shellie Zimmerman is convicted on charges and gets even 12 or 13 months of probation, shell consider the Trayvon Martin case closed.

'After serious consideration and soul-searching, I've decided to support [no one gives a shit about you, your political beliefs, and certainly not who you think should be president of the United States],' said the short-lived media phenomenon, reading from a prepared statement that in a sense does not exist if no one agrees to read or listen to it. 'I [Just shut the fuck up now. We don't care. People are going to stop paying attention to you now and you are going to go away].' At press time, Donald Trump you've got to be kidding me, no way, nuh-uh, not even if he's announcing he invented a fucking time machine, I'm sorry, I just can't. 
3	Bank Forecloses On Elderly Woman Over $49 in Unpaid TaxesAnd the taxes were actually paid There are some stories that are so over the top as an example of the brazen disregard for human dignity that they defy imagination. But, we know that truth is stranger than fiction . . . and this latest event is certainly proof of that. Foreclosure fraud has become institutionalized within a corrupt banking structure; it began at the top withbanks such as BoA and has trickled down into nearly every community. For example, one couple had their home in Tampa foreclosed on even after they had paid off the full amount in cash. Countless others have been victims of mortgage payment modification schemes. However, the predatory nature of what is happening to 75-year-old Aron Ezilla Ridge in Travis County, Texas might in fact be what one news outlet is calling The Saddest Story You Have Ever Heard. This story involves a mortgage company, but it also has a scary link to property taxes that should raise questions about the very nature of home ownership. Back in 2010, at the peak of Foreclosure-Gate, a few members of the banking consortium went on record to deny theirresponsibility for creating a system that might have given mortgage holders a raw deal: Regardless, she had paid off her mortgage 20 years ago, but needed repairs for which she did not have the immediate cash. She entered into an agreement for a reverse mortgage of $39,000 with a nationwide mortgage lender called James B. Nutter Co. A reverse mortgage is geared toward those who are 62 years and older, and essentially serves as a revolving credit line with title still held by the homeowner rather than with the lender as it would for a typical mortgage. Instead of the borrower making payments, the lender pays the borrower with the promise that the loan is to be paid at the time of death or sale. It hasnt been so cut-and-dried for Ms. Ridge who is now the plaintiff in a case against James B. Nutter Co. after payment of her property taxes came into question. This confusion, which has every indication that it was created by an outside party, gave an opening for Nutter Co. to pounce via the acceleration clause. Ms. Ridges home officially went into foreclosure Jan. 30th, 2013. Unbeknownst to many older homeowners who take out reverse mortgages (especially those who have a 6th-grade reading level), an acceleration clause is there to ensure immediate payment. However, it is supposed to only be triggered upon the sale of the home, or death. Nutter Co. are invoking this due to supposedly unpaid taxes. Ironically, Financial Web defines this clause in the following way: Its hard to imagine this situation getting any more convoluted . . . but it does. Not only is the lender looking for immediate payment of the original loan of $39,000, the company seeks that amount, plus interest, fees, and subsequent attorneys fees that total more than the actual appraised value of her home. In essence, she couldnt even sell the home (or die) to pay off what is being demanded. Lets hope this sad story has a happier ending. Well keep you posted. Please use the comment section below to tell us if you, or someone you know has been faced with a similar predatory lender.

2	Congress Takes This MASSIVE Stand Against Obamas Refugee Plan To the dismay of Americans throughout the country, Obama is sticking to his Syrian refugee plan almost as if nothing happened this past weekend. Fortunately, Americans are taking it upon themselves to stand up for the security of our country. Our nation has always been welcoming, but we cannot let terrorists take advantage of our compassion, House Speaker Paul Ryan told reporters. This is a moment where its better to be safe than to be sorry. We shouldnt accept any Syrian refugees without complete assurance those we are welcoming intend us no harm, Ryan told House Republicans. Ryan spoke with a sense of urgency that could not be ignored, claiming that Congress needs to act now, before its too late. We want to work and act on this faster than that, Ryan said of the December 11 date that has been set by Republicans. Containing ISIS is not enough. Defeating ISIS is what is necessary and we do not have that comprehensive plan in place. Still, Democrats are shockingly in favor of accepting refugees, claiming that shutting the door of America completely to those who are seeking asylum or refuge is not our tradition. What do you think? Do you support Ryan? 
1	Following an evening of heavy drinking at local bar McGuires Tavern, 32-year-old Peter Larsen reportedly awoke with a hangover Wednesday and was horrified to discover he had made dozens of plans the previous night. Oh, God, I cant believe I said Id get lunch with Emily and told Scott that Id hang out next weekend, said Larsen, rubbing his temples and lamenting that he never should have let himself get so out of control and recklessly commit to numerous social obligations. I just hope I didnt say anything stupid to someone from work about how Id love to catch the new Fantastic Four with them when it comes out. Its bad enough that I kept going on and on to Jeff about going on a camping trip together in August. At press time, Larsen had reportedly resolved that in the future, he would stop drinking as soon as he noticed himself beginning to talk loudly about going in together on a beach house rental on Long Island.

Watch Closely [VIDEO] When Hillary Clinton appeared on the Steve Harvey Show a few months ago, she pretended to be shocked when the host showed his audience a photograph of her when she was just 12 years old. Oh boy, oh my goodness, Clinton exclaimed. In fact, Clinton feigned surprise several times throughout her interview. That was all an act, apparently. A newly-leaked memo has proven Clinton was fully briefed on all of Harveys questions before the interview. The Clinton campaign actually outlined almost every moment of the interview before Clinton appeared on the show. Aides Karen Finney and Betsaida Alcantara provided Clinton with a memo, explaining YOUR time at the studio will be divided into five segments. We pitched the show on having YOU and Steve discuss gun violence and faith, two issues YOU both care deeply about, the memo continued. We coordinated closely with the shows producers on the script and format of the show.

In addition to the Central Bank of Nigerias new cashless policy which aims at reducing the amount of paper money and coins circulating in the economy and encouraging more electronic transactions by adding a cash handling charge a new biometric program will require customers to sign up for a Bank Verification Number and present themselves at any branch for fingerprinting (all 10 fingers), facial image capture, and more. Some articles have also tossed around voice recognition and retina scans as well. All to revolutionize bankingfor peoples safety and security, of course. CBN Governor Lamido Sanusi launched the new biometric registration at the head office on behalf of the Bankers Committee in February. Punch quoted Sanusi as saying, We have launched the Bank Verification Number today, the timetable suggests that within 18 months, every customer would have been registered. This is a day that we would remember for many reasons, not for where we are but where we are likely to get from here. Nobody can steal this identity except he or she steals my fingers Apparently this guy hasnt seen a whole lot of science fiction films. The nation of India has instituted similar measures, recently rolling out a massive biometric identity system which aims to collect the iris and fingerprints of every single one of its over a billion citizens, linked to a 12-digit identity number. Never mind that iris scanners and fingerprint IDs have all been easily fooled. Someone has been reading a lot of the Bible lately, specifically Revelations. These types of measures are being rolled out in developing nations first, but dont worry, theyll make their way here soon enough. Eventually, no one will be able to buy or sell anything without giving up their biometrics to big brother and his database. U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo are already piloting voice recognition biometrics as I type this.

1	Mallory Pickens, a 13-year-old pro-life extremist attending todays March for Life event in the nations capital, was reportedly unaware that she had been impregnated the previous evening by a fellow member of her churchs anti-abortion organization. Right to choose? Thats a lie! Babies do not choose to die! chanted the sign-toting Lambs of Christ activist who is utterly ignorant of the fact that the semen of Kirk Tussle, a 13-year-old fellow church member and pro-life extremist, had completed the capacitation stage and resulted in a fertilized zygote following a fumbling sexual encounter at the Holiday Inn Express where their group had rented several adjoining rooms. Life from conception! No exception! At press time, sources close to Pickens predict that after discovering the pregnancy she will drop out of school, isolate herself from friends and family, and suffer crippling postpartum depression. 
1	With challenger Abdullah Abdullah dropping out of November's runoff election, Afghan president Hamid Karzai was effectively reelected to a second term last Monday, evidence, world observers said, that Afghanistan has become a shining beacon of democracy, theocracy, autocracy, and authoritarianism in an otherwise troubled region. 'This election has proved to the world that Afghanistan is capable of conducting free, barely free, and not-so-free elections in which some or all forms of government are embraced,' President Karzai said during a staged victory rally in front of his presidential palace. 'We saw democracy: having an election in which people line up to vote; despotism: having your associates harass and suppress those who intend to vote incorrectly; dictatorship: ordering a widespread media blackout to cover up any and all violent activity; and theocracy: the Taliban actually having more influence and legitimacy than me no matter how many times I am unfairly elected. ' Added Karzai, 'This a great day in Afghanistan for all 180 diametrically opposed forms of government.' From villagers in the most remote regions of the country to citizens in the poorest districts of Kabul, millions of Afghans lined up Aug. 20 so their voices could be heard, muffled, altered, and ignored. According to U.N. officials charged with overseeing the vote, the election was a progressive step for Afghanistan's women, who were able to participate in both the democratic and totalitarian process by casting their votes and then having them immediately discarded. De facto president Hamid Karzai pledges to illegitimately rule the country with an iron fist by the will of the people. Analysts also said this week that the sudden cancellation of November's runoff election further proved Afghanistan's commitment to either an autocratic or plutocratic political system, or perhaps a marionette system concealed behind a nominal, logocratic bureaucracy. 'Today I am very happy and proud to be an Afghan citizen whose vote fully counted in the 2009 presidential election,' Kabul resident Ajani Karmal told reporters while officials from Hamid Karzai's government, Taliban leaders, members of the opposition United National Front, al-Qaeda operatives, and nearly 160 tribal chiefs carrying various forms of weaponry looked on. 'Yes. Very, very happy.' While the election is being hailed as a testament to Afghanistan's devotion to autocratic, theocratic, and possibly even oligarchic ideals, it was not without its share of tragedy. On the day of the vote, Taliban insurgents fired more than 120 rockets in Kandahar alone, causing many Afghans to lose their lives in the name of whatever form of government they were or were not actively participating in. 'People have to realize that any burgeoning exilarchy, autocracy, or tyranny will, from time to time, experience setbacks,' Robert Carlisle, an international adviser to the Free and Fair Election Foundation of Afghanistan, told reporters. 'The same goes for a burgeoning feudalistic, fascist, or kratocratic society, which is another thing we've had here over the past several months. Actually, if one has ever studied consociationalism, there was a little bit of that, too.' Nonetheless, world leaders representing every form of government from democracy to autocracy collectively praised the Afghan election as a powerful symbol of the country's ongoing commitment to various principles of some kind or another. 'I would like to send my congratulations to President Karzai and the people of Afghanistan for showing that, even in the most dire of circumstances, democracy is capable of flourishing,' President Barack Obama said Monday. 'I'm glad we have an ally in Afghanistan.' Obama was not alone. 'I would like to send my congratulations to President Karzai and the people of Afghanistan for showing that, even in the most dire of circumstances, a dictatorship is capable of flourishing,' North Korean leader Kim Jong Il said Monday. 'I'm glad we have an ally in Afghanistan.'

Having a leader your country is embarrassed about is one thing, having a President no other leader respects is another. Obama likes to maintain that America is still strong, but his ignorance as it pertains to foreign policy is reflected in the disdain of world leaders. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is it time to get Obama out of the White House? 
1	While admitting hed been nervous at first about the seriousness of the felony he was committing, local kidnapper Milt Horton reported Wednesday that his abduction and ransoming of a 7-year-old boy could not be going any more smoothly. To be honest, everythings been happening just as I planned it, said Horton, explaining that he had muscled the second-grader into his van with no problems and that the boy had complied when instructed to shut the fuck up if he ever wanted to see his family again. Ive delivered the ransom note, the money is already on its way, and this whole thing should be over with by 7 p.m. at the latest. Piece of cake! I just wish Id known it would all go off without a hitch so I could have made some plans for the evening. Horton then laughed, adding that anyone who thinks kidnappings are riddled with complications has probably been watching too many cop movies. 
3	Open Source Revolution - 3 Ways Humanity Will Never Be The SameJefferey Jaxen There are many ways one can measure our conscious shift to date in this fast moving current from control to awake and empowered. Topping the list we see the words open source being magnified. Beginning as a term amongst the tech culture, the open source revolution has now shifted into high gear and is laying waste to once hidden agendas, disinformation, and suppression. Like nature reclaiming back alley streets and abandoned Detroit factories, it is a higher universal cycle that is serving to bring the false concrete reality to its very foundations. A quick look reveals the open source influence inspiring nearly every key area needed for humanity to release centralized, suffocating control. The students of humanity are ready and the open source teacher has appeared. Open Source Journalism One of the first self-proclaimed open source investigative journalists, James Corbetts talent also branches into documentary film making, pod-casting, and promoting the new generation. No longer is news and history taken at face value because a media outlet says so or because they are a self-proclaimed authority. Continuing to redefine the space is the essential work of Luke Rudkowski and We Are Change. Our generations upgraded version of Hunter S. Thompsons Gonzo Journalism, Lukes trademark is to courageously insert himself into the story and ask the hard questions, often in real-time/live-streaming. The results have been a legendary and sobering look at the often comical efforts The Powers That Be (were) take to hide their true nature and agendas. The work of Luke, James, and many others, are contributing to the decentralization of knowledge and news, undoubtedly leading to the fall of mainstream media currently in its twilight. In fact, the website analytics, viewership, and waning influence are all proof that the mainstream media is now laughably irrelevant. Open Source Natural Sciences After over a century of recorded suppression in the areas of science, physics, and medicine, the time is upon us for true investigation and unearthing. Open sourcing is providing a conscious look at the true principles and potential of the natural world with an undogmatic spirit. Leaders of note in these areas are the newly formed powerhouse The Campaign For Open Sciences (OpenSciences.org) which is providing a catalyst for honest scientific investigation. In addition, the grassroots website AetherForce.com has been keeping the flame of natural and etheric sciences alive. Its library of free, rare books from legendary thinkers such as Rudolf Steiner, Nikola Tesla, and Viktor Schauberger is serving to disseminate vital ideas in the minds of a new generation. Open Source Archeology Astonishingly, an area that has garnered little attention over the past decade are the discoveries that have rewritten our human history. What has been uncovered makes our most magical memories of childrens fairy tale books pale in comparison. First off, the work and discoveries of Michael Tellinger in Southern Africa have served to relink us with a human history more than 200,000 years ago. To add to the wonder, these uncovered civilizations of old left overwhelming evidence of advanced technology unable to be recreated today and are just now beginning to be understood. These ancient technologies all center around energy, frequency, and sound; ironically the very things suppressed researchers like Nikola Tesla, Royal A Rife, and Rudolph Steiner were persecuted for experimenting with and often perfecting. Next we have the continuing discoveries of Dr. Samir Osmanagichs Bosnian Pyramids.In Dr. Osmanagich, we have an archaeologist that has open sourced his site and findings for multidisciplinary groups of researchers and experts to study and experiment on. The results have included the measurement of electromagnetic energy emanating from the tops of the Bosnian Pyramids, powerful healing chambers underneath the pyramids still providing positive health effects to this day, and many other groundbreaking finds. Jefferey Jaxen is an open source researcher, writer director of Alternative Holistic health for the Flower of Life Center. On the front lines of many up and coming alternative health modalities working behind the scenes to bring them to the mainstream. Jeffereys mission in life is to teach empower others to heal themselves. Aside from serving as director of Alternative Holistic Health at The Flower of Life Center, Jefferey is also a compelling writer, active health researcher, and creative force.

3	Canadian Court to the Entire World: No Links For You!Maira Sutton The case, titled Equustek Solutions Inc. v. Jack, involved a trade secret fight between two Canadian companies. One sued the other for allegedly stealing the designs of some of their products and selling them on their website. The plaintiff claimed that Google facilitated access to this illegitimate online vendor through its search platform. Initially, Google voluntarily took down specific URLs that directed users to those products and ads under the local Google.ca domains, but the Court decided that was not enough. The judge ultimately ruled that Google must delete the entire domain from its search results, including all other local domains such as Google.go.uk and even the main site Google.com. Oddly, the judge in this case seemed unfazed by the wide-ranging implications of this order. Based upon the assumption that users would simply switch to other variants of the Google domain, she decided that for any blockage ruling to be effective, even within Canada, Google must block search results on all of its websites and that any other external impacts are a separate issue. But the court went even further, ordering Googlea company based outside its jurisdiction in Californiato censor the site worldwide. If left unchallenged, this could leading to a slippery slope of ever more countries feeling empowered to mandate global online censorship. If a Turkish court were to find that a certain protest site was illegal, would intermediary services like Google be forced to remove all references of the domain name from its site? Or if Ethiopia mandated the deletion of all sites referring to imprisoned journalist, Eskinder Nega, would online platforms be forced to comply with that order? Those are only a few examples of how such a precedent could dangerously expand. If courts become empowered to demand intermediary platforms remove and take down domains worldwide, that could be the end of online free expression as we know it. And if history has taught us anything, authorities are very good at creatively constructing legitimacy to shut down speech. This case alone is evidence of that: the judge mentioned that she was inspired by the recent EU rulings on the right to be forgotten, and felt that forcing global removals was just a way to keep up with the times. We can imagine how problematic this would be if it were applied to copyright infringement. There is already a history of cases in which government agencies have taken down entire domains over allegations of content piracy. The United States has been especially guilty of this. One of the most glaring cases involve Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), when it took down a Spanish sports streaming site, Rojadirecta. It is alarming that any government agency, anywhere in the world, would have the authority to unilaterally remove an entire website, especially when doing so may violate another countrys strong legal protections for the right to free expression. This kind of forceful takedown of domains is exactly the kind of sweeping censorship that what we fought against in the SOPA and PIPA bills defeated over two years ago. No matter what the charges are, there is no reasonable justification for intermediaries to block an entire website over content that only some of the pages contain. Thankfully, Google has indicated that it intends to appeal the decision to prevent this from becoming a dangerous new precedent. It is as important as ever that intermediaries, such as search engines, Internet service providers, and domain name registrars, be protected as neutral platforms. They are often attractive targets for those who want those services to help them remedy alleged wrongdoing. But dragging intermediaries into court as implicit facilitators of unlawful activity creates a wide range of negative, unintended consequences for the Internet. Just because a party has been wronged does not mean that they are entitled to any and all remedies. Going after intermediaries is an easy shortcut, but one with too many costly ramifications.

2	Married Students At THIS College Are Brutally Whipped For Not Complying With Sharia Law A married college couple, Nur Elita and Wahyudi Saputra, ages 20 and 23, were publicly whipped for not complying with Sharia Law. The caning took place in front of the Baiturrahumim Mosque where four other men, Asrul bin M Daud, 52, Khaidir bin Daud, 50, Yoserizal bin Dahyuzar, 45, and Mukhlis bin Ramli, 43, were also caned for gambling. Elitas caning was so brutal that she collapsed and had to be carried out by an ambulance and taken to the hospital. Bizpac Review Take these punishments as a lesson. What has been done by these convicts should not be taken as an example. And, I hope their canings in Meuraxa district today will be the last ever, said Deputy Mayor Zainal Arifin And to the public, I ask that you do not isolate those who have been convicted here today. And also, those who have been convicted are reminded not to repeat the same mistakes. This is absolutely horrifying. Although this happened in Indonesia, were not far from the point of this happening in America. Should America crack down before its too late? 
2	What Donald Trump Just Did Has Obama Absolutely FURIOUS According to recent reports, a House bill designed to punish cities that refuse to enforce federal immigration law just passed. In the lower chamber 241 to 179/ H.R. 3009 would force local law enforcement to notify Immigration and Customs Enforcement if they have an illegal immigrant is custody. Failure to do so would result in the loss of federal law grants. The bill was voted on across party lines. I think we can all agree that any state or locality must comply with the lawand they are required to coordinate and cooperate with the federal government, Representative Duncan Hunter of California stated. If an arrest is made, the federal government should be notified. The fact that San Francisco, Los Angeles and other cities disagree with the politics of federal enforcement doesnt mean they should receive a pass to subvert the lawAnd if they do, there needs to be consequencesand the way we impose those consequences is by hitting them where it hurts. In the pocketbook. The bill was passed following the random murder of 32-year-old Kate Steinle by an illegal immigrant. Opponents of the bill have called it the Donald Trump Act. Pelosi deemed the bill a wildly partisan, misguided bill that second-guesses the decisions of police chiefs around the country about how to best ensure public safety. Earlier, a separate and comparable legislation called the Protecting American Lives Act passed in the House. The act includes a five-year prison sentence for any deported illegal immigrant who returns to the United States. What do you think? Do you support the legislation?

The complaint was filed by a group that strongly opposes anything that could be construed as going against the separation of church and state. The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) demanded that the schools superintendent remove the religious portrait from the school, even though it has been hanging there for decades. We were notified and we responded to stay in compliance, the schools superintendent reporter. The schools lawyer admits that they were breaking the law by displaying the picture. We dont consider any constitutional violation to be petty and not worth going after, Ryan Jayne of the FFRF told reporters. What do you think? Is the FFRF taking things too far? 
2	Conservative Baseball Legend To Enter Senate Race Like many of us, baseball legend Curt Schilling has had enough of liberal Senator Elizabeth Warren. Now, hes pushing back against Warren in the best way possible. According to Daily Caller, Schilling has just announced plans to run in the 2018 Senate race in Massachusetts, in an attempt to steal the seat from Warren. Ive thought about it, and I think one of the things I would like to do is be one of the people responsible for getting Elizabeth Warren out of politics, Schilling told WRKO-AM on Monday. I think shes a nightmare. The left is holding her up as the second coming of Hillary Clinton, which Lord knows we dont need the first one. Schilling was clear that Massachusetts is the only state hed run for office in. Schillings comments couldnt be more accurate. The only thing worse than Hillary Clinton is a Hillary Clinton clone. What do you think of his announcement? Would you support Schilling as Senator?

Primarily, critics have pointed to Christian couples who are against same-sex marriage. The big debate is whether it should be lawful for small business owners to stand behind their beliefs. The prime example weve seen in the media is a bakery and whether it is lawful for them to refuse a cake for a same sex marriage. Now, Joshua Feuerstein is turning the tables on this argument. He recently called a bakery in Florida and asked them to bake a cake with the words We Do Not Support Gay Marriage written on it. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is there a serious double standard being revealed?

3	Meet the Latest CEO Price Gouging on Life-Saving MedicationsBy Justin Gardner The Internet may have experienced its biggest outrage ever last month, when pharma bro Martin Shkreli acquired exclusive rights to sell the drug Daraprim and proceeded to raise the price 5,000 percent. This is a life-saving medication for AIDS patients and cancer survivors undergoing chemotherapy, as it prevents infections in people with weakened immune systems. Being absent of decency and suffused with greed is a way of life in the government-backed Wall St. industry. Valeant Pharmaceuticals CEO Michael Pearson is the latest to demonstrate this. Rather than focusing on one drug as Shkreli did, the Wall St. darling is jacking up prices for a number of critical brand-name drugs. So far in 2015, Valeant raised prices an average of 66 percent, which is five times as much as its closest industry peers. Valeant quadrupled the price of Cuprimine overnight, a decades-old drug that treats an inherited disorder called Wilson disease. For one retired carpenter, whose life depends on the drug, it means that he will have to pay $1,800 out of pocket per month, instead of the $366 he used to pay. Valeant raised the price of Glumetza, a diabetes drug, 800 percent after acquiring the rights this year. Isuprel, which treats heart conditions, now costs eight times what it did last year. Mephyton, which helps blood clotting, went from $9.37 a tablet to $58.75. Edecrin, which treats kidney and liver disease, went from $470 a vial to $4,600. The company is not interested in research and development of new drugs, as are conventional pharmaceutical companies. Valeant just buys up existing drug companies and jacks up prices wherever possible, focusing mostly on older drugs that still have patent protection or have no generic competition. It is important to note that making a profit is not the issue at hand with the pharmaceutical companies hiking prices. The issue is that the prices are able to be hiked to such extremes because of government programs which grant these drug makers monopolies in their fields. Pharmaceutical companies use the force of the State to legislate their potential competition out of the market, thereby creating huge windfalls for themselves. Valeant says it has everyones best interests at heart, stating that it prices its treatments based on a range of factors, including clinical benefits and the value they bring to patients, physicians, payers, and society. Pearson says when products are sort of mispriced and theres an opportunity, we will act appropriately in terms of doing what I assume our shareholders would like us to do. They rely on the justification that patients will be shielded from skyrocketing expenses by insurance companies and government programs, displaying a willful ignorance of the bigger picture. But even if patients are often shielded, the costs are paid by insurers, hospitals and taxpayers and lead to higher premiums and co-payments for everyone, critics say. Jeffrey M. Rosner, the senior director for pharmacy sourcing and purchasing at the Cleveland Clinic, said that nine drugs with particularly egregious price increases had cost the hospital an additional $11.2 million annually, an increase of about 10 percent in drug costs for hospitalized patients. And Valeants products represented 80 percent of that additional cost, he said. Valeants actions amount to a raping of the system, burrowing into every crevice to squeeze out profit before the parts of the system can adjust. For instance, when Valeant jacks up the price of a drug, it could stimulate generic alternatives, but they would take years to get approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Even other pharma companies have distanced themselves Valeant and its brethren Turing, owned by Shkreli. The more conventional companies and their backers argue that research and development has a high risk of failure, so they deserve premium prices when a drug succeeds. They now are concerned that innovation will be undermined by a reaction to price increases imposed by companies like Turing and Valeant. Jacking up prices of old drugs, with no RD risk-taking, is just not right, Bruce Booth, a prominent life sciences venture capitalist, posted on Twitter Tuesday, adding that the practice hurts the industry innovators. While Valeant sucks the blood of American patients, hospitals, insurance companies, and government programs, it is officially based in Canada, which allows it to pay extremely low taxes. People who rely on Valeants drugs to avoid death and sickness must alter their lifestyles to cover the profits of Pearson and Wall St. investors. They scrimp on groceries and go back to work after retiring, their spouses takes second jobs, and they apply for financial assistance. Hillary Clinton feigned indignation at drug price gouging, and House Democrats were demanding that Valeant be subpoenaed for information on two drugs they acquired in February. But the posturing rings hollow when we consider that government helps create the problem. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com Out of pocket goes from $366 to $1800 (monthly!), because soulless POS investor, Valeant Pharmaceuticals CEO Michael Pearson can. The moral of the story, DO NOT depend or take PHARMACEUTICALS. This man is a bona-fide psychopath whose frontal lobes must be non existentas only his left brain is workingYes. the Corporation. is an invention still just an agreement between snakes (much like $$$) that states that it is has personhood ( $$$ is speech). that this malevolent CEO narcissist is there purely to increase the profits for his share holders (all total BS the greedy coveting troll troglodytes Goldman Ratbag Sacks P.O.S that they truly are) any other responsibilities are called Externalities that they are not responsible for!. altho they were responsible forkinda like a Grand Illusion Catch-22.gone are the good ol days of an emerging nation that still thought acted in terms of morals ethics humanitarian values that stood up for exposing the evils of men.Now this same evil its out there front center in-yer-face as something to be emulated by aspiring Winners attracting legions of power hungry misanthropes wielding there machiavellian powers mercilessly upon the most vulnerable suctioning everything they can steal from whoever they come in contact withThis man belongs in a mental asylum not making millions for being quite insane.

1	Southcentral Medical Supply office manager Wendell Sulley formally announced Monday that office copying is 'getting out of hand.' Office manager Wendell Sulley. 'After months of seeing the copy-machine, fax and print-station areas littered with copies of documents that are obviously for personal use, it was time to put my foot down,' the 42-year-old Sulley said. 'I've changed that second-floor toner cartridge twice in the past three weeks alone.' Added Sulley: 'Those cartridges cost $55 each.' Sulley's official decree came in the form of a notice in 40-point type posted above the office's two Xerox 5830 copiers and three Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 5000N printers. It read, 'Access to the copier is a privilege, not a right. From now on, restrict your usage to necessary, work-related items ONLY!' 'Unauthorized photocopying and laser-printing hurts all of us. This sort of white-collar crimeand it is a crime, folks, a form of theftcosts this company hundreds, maybe thousands, of dollars a year,' Sulley recently told a group of co-workers in the Southcentral break room. 'And who do you think ultimately pays for that? You, the employees, in the form of budget cutbacks and layoffs, that's who.' 'I've been very lenient about personal use of office equipment up until this point,' Sulley continued. 'Too lenient.' Sulley said that, for months, he had 'turned a blind eye' to employees' use of company equipment and paper to copy birthday-party invitations, Lands End order forms, and office football-pool sheets. Instead, he chose to focus on cracking down on non-work-related phone calls and Internet-surfing. But in recent weeks, Sulley said, workers had begun to copy personal items right in front of him, not even making an effort to disguise their illicit activities. 'Employees used to place an office memo over their personal copies or simply wait until I went to lunch,' Sulley said. 'But lately, right out in the open I've seen multiple copies of a recipe for 'Just Like Snickers' cookies, eBay bid-confirmation forms, a page of forwarded Hillary Clinton jokes, the Bad Golfer's Pledge Of Allegiance, the Schumacher Family quarterly newsletter, some Elton John song lyrics, and several maps of downtown Columbus, OH.' The last straw, however, came Friday, when Sulley discovered 40 copies of a sign reading, 'You Don't Have To Be Carzy [sic] To Work Here, But It Helps!' in the waste-paper basket by the first-floor Xerox machine. 'Those contraband copies were left right out in the open, as if to proudly advertise the breach of office policy they represented and encourage other employees to do the same,' said Bill Augustiniak, author of Your Job, Your Office: A Manager's Guide To Workplace Leadership. 'Sulley had no choice but to view this as a clear act of defiance and a hostile challenge to his status as office manager.' Still, many Southcentral employees deny any wrongdoing. 'I've use the copier for my own stuff once in a while, like, maybe to copy an order form from a Fingerhut catalog or some quilt patterns, but that's it,' said senior sales associate Donna Wilke. 'Besides, I don't think it's our department that's causing the problem. I always see people from payroll using our copier on their way to lunch.' Refusing to blame any specific department, Sulley insisted that the problem is company-wide. 'It's not just one person or group of peopleit's everyone,' Sulley said. 'And it's not just personal use that's hurting us: People are being wasteful in their work-related copying, too. I've seen people bring handouts to a meeting and end up throwing away 20 or 30 extra copies without a second thought.' With the company budgeting for a new $3,800 Hewlett-Packard Color LaserJet 4500 DN printer in early 2000, Sulley decided that now was the time to put his foot down. 'I hope everyone has the good sense to monitor their own use from now on,' Sulley said. 'I'd hate for it to come down to it, but if necessary, I won't hesitate to assign everyone a personal copier code.' Employees are well aware that Sulley does not make empty threats. Last year, he placed a lock on the office supply closet after three consecutive warnings about company-letterhead theft went unheeded, forcing everyone to go directly through him for all stationery, pens, staplers, note pads and Scotch tape. 
2	Man At Burger King Teaches Swift Lesson To Obnoxious Kid And Mom On Common Courtesy Weve all heard our fair share of babies and children throwing tantrums in restaurants. Many of us have been horrified by the public displays are own children have given. But very few of us have handled it like this man. He decided to share his story on reddit. One day, the man walked into a Burger King with a splitting headache, and was less than thrilled to see that there was a long line ahead of him. To make matters worse, a mom got in line behind him with her child, who was not in the best of moods. This kid was out of control, screaming, punching his mother throwing around a gameboy whenever something didnt go right in the game, thr11 writes. The mother didnt seem to pay any attention to him and his continued yelling of I want a f***ing PIE. After about 5 minutes of the line with these people behind me, I had gone from a headache to a full on migraine. I calmly turn and ask her nicely if she can please calm or quiet her child down, he continued. Immediately she gets up in my face telling me I cant tell her nothing about raising her child and to mind my own business. I nod and turn around, shes still yelling at the back of my head when the child cries out again how he wants a pie, the mother consoles him, calling him sweetie and ensuring theyll get pies for lunch because she loves him so much. When the man finally got to the front of the line, he was in full-on vengeance mode, and decided he wasnt going to let the child get his way. I order every pie they have left in addition to by burgers, he concluded. Turned out to be 23 pies in total, I take my order and walk towards the exit. Moments later I hear the woman yelling, what do you mean you dont have any pies left, who bought them all? What do you think? Is this reddit users actions hilarious or did he take things to far? 
2	She Supported The Death Of Texas Sheriff, See What Happened To Her Just 24 Hours Later One Twitter uses is getting slammed by the media after she wrote an extremely outrageous tweet using the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag. The Houston resident took to social media following the execution-style shooting of Sheriffs Deputy Darren Goforth. I cant believe so many people care about a dead cop and NO ONE has thought to ask what he did to deserve it. He had creepy perv eyes #BlackLivesMatter, Monica Foy wrote. The disgraceful tweet implies that Goforth deserved to be executed. As if that werent disgusting enough, the #BlackLivesMatter supporter went on to insult the way he looked. Foy deleted the tweet after she received backlash, but the damage had already been done. Fortunately, karma did its job. Foy was arrested less than 24 hours after her insulting rant. Apparently, she had a warrant out for her arrest on a charge of assault causing bodily harm. What do you think? Did Foy emulate exactly what is wrong with the Black Lives Matter movement? 
1	Hailing their contribution to the game as extraordinary and totally underrated, ESPN Monday Night Football commentator Jon Gruden was reportedly full of praise for every single blade of grass at Lambeau Field during tonights matchup between the Falcons and Packers. Now, thats a blade of grass right thereits not the biggest on the field, but it stands tall when it matters, and its got all the things you look for in a solid, reliable blade of grass, Gruden said of a 1.8-inch grass stem situated near the 15-yard line, raving that each of the roughly 61 million Kentucky bluegrass reeds collectively make up the best tandem of grass in the National Football League, no question. I love what Im seeing out theretough, no-nonsense, old-school blades of grass. People might say they just came up out of nowhere, but listen, its no surprise to anyone who saw how good those seedlings were looking back in September. And Ill tell you something else, theyve only gotten stronger since then. If I were the Packers, I would be very, very happy with where those sprouts are at right now. Gruden went on to say that the hash mark at Lambeau Fields 46-yard line possesses the same amazing qualities as the Los Angeles Coliseum goal line of the late 1980s. 
3	In Syria, Obama Fights Bushs WarsSyrian Opposition Signs Pro-War Neo-Con Letter to Obama. The letter covered by Foreign Policys article, Conservatives call on Obama to establish safe zones in Syria, not only parrots Fortune 500-funded Brookings Institutions report, Assessing Options for Regime Change, recently repeated almost verbatim by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, but was signed by co-conspirators in the invasion of Iraq including Elliott Abrams, Karl Rove, Paul Bremer, Robert Joseph, and Douglas Feith, along with advisors to the Mitt Romney, including Eric Edelman, Jamie Fly, Robert Kagan, and Stephen Rademaker, as well as Syrian National Council member, Radwah Ziadeh. Radwah Ziadeh, it should be remembered, is also a senior fellow of the US State Departments US Institute for Peace (USIP) which has just revealed it is behind training, coaching, and tutoring Syrias opposition leaders as well as preparing Syrias new constitution, currently being called a, transition strategy document. Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of the Neo-Cons letter is that it essentially calls for a no-fly zone: We urge you to take immediate steps, in close and continuing consultation with the Congress, to work with regional partners to establish air-patrolled safe zones covering already liberated areas within Syria, using military power not only to protect these zones from further aggression by the Assad regimes military and irregular forces, but also to neutralize the threat posed by the Syrian dictatorships chemical and biological weapons.Basically an amalgamation of every false pretext the United States has used to wage war upon its enemies in the last 20 years, and the dirty tricks used to inch Americans into another war, the letter reveals who is once again behind US foreign policy, and that warmongering, corporate-financier interests, not humanitarian concerns, seek to spend American blood and treasure in their pursuit of global hegemony. It has been covered extensively that the campaign against Syria began as early as 2007, during the Bush administration. With this list of signatories (at bottom), which also includes Paula Dobriansky, Max Boot, Eric Edelman, William Kristol, and Danielle Pletka, we literally have 2007s agenda coming full circle, and leaving us at the doorstep of war with Iran. In essence, our so-called Democratic, progressive-liberal President Obama, is fighting our so-called Republican Neo-Conservative former-President Bushs wars. Wars plural, because Libya was also on the long list of nations targeted by the Neo-Conservatives and was also the subject of a letter to President Obama (and one to House Republicans) urging him to intervene militarily which the US did. Video: Seven nations, five years US Army General Wesley Clark exposes in 2007 Neo-Conservative ambitions dating back to 2001, that involved the destruction of seven nations: Iraq, Syria Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. That Iraq, Libya, and Somalia have suffered direct military intervention by the United States, with Lebanon and Sudan having suffered and Syria now suffering covert destabilization, and open threats of war being made against Iran, there is no doubt that this plan is underway.That the Neo-Cons are literally articulating the next leg, in letters to the US president, indicates that they and the interests they represent, never left the drivers seat in 2008. Syria is not about its people rising up against a dictator. It is about neo-imperialists couchingtheir long-harbored dreams of global hegemony within the ideals of humanitarianism, democracy promotion, freedom and if that fails, fearmongering over terrorism and violence of their own design. They, the Neo-Cons and the corporate-financier interests they present, along with their willing helpers on both sides of the aisle, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, constitute the greatest threat to world peace not the government and people of Syria who have not once threatened the US and its people in any conceivable way, nor possesses the capacity to do so if they desired. And while the Wests megalomania may only be sated by defeat at the hands of their enemies abroad, we may yet reclaim our destiny at home by identifying, boycotting, and replacing the monolithic corporations and financial institutions that have so lent them the unwarranted influence with which they plague the world.

1	During a postgame press conference Sunday, Celtics star Paul Pierce told reporters that he does not like having the ball in his hands with time on the clock winding down, saying that the chance to make a buzzer-beater with the game on the line is not what he lives for. 'Oh God no, absolutely not,' Pierce said when asked if the thought of coming through in the clutch scenario fuels his competitive fire. 'When I first started playing basketball I never once dreamed of taking a last-second shot during any basketball game, not during the playoffs and certainly not during Game 7 of the NBA Finals. That's way too much pressure to put on any one individual. When it is do-or-die time, I would much rather pass the ball to one of my teammates and let that be on their head.' In the event that he has to take a last-second shot, Pierce said that he doesn't mind when he misses, adding that he takes no satisfaction in quieting the other team's crowd. 
2	Israel Bars Muslims From Entering Jerusalem According to recent reports, Israel just took steps forward in assuring that Jerusalems Old City bars entry to all Palestinian Muslims who arent registered as residents. The measure is meant to protect Jews from further attacks. The controversial move is a reaction to days of violent and deadly assaults on Jewish civilians. The situation escalated last week, with Muslim rioters attacking an Israeli ambulance transporting a Palestinian Muslim. The media has attacked Israel for their actions, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not caving in to pressures. In fact, he even threatened to demolish the family homes of any Palestinians who engaged in terrorist activity. What do you think? Do you support Israel taking action? 
3	Why You Should Still Be Paying Attention to Fukushima 5 Years LaterBy Claire Bernish Five years ago today, as Popular Mechanics summarized, the earth moved more than 20 meters over a 500-mile zone and the resulting earthquake released as much energy as a 45-megaton hydrogen bomb (to put this in perspective, this is 30,000 times more powerful as the bomb that leveled Hiroshima). It was the fourth-strongest earthquake recorded since 1900 and the strongest earthquake to strike Japan in recorded history. The quake shifted the Earths axis by somewhere between 4 and 10 inches, altering the length of a day by nearly 2 microseconds. This release of energy set off an epic tsunami, reaching a height of around 40 meters (140 feet) before making landfall on the Japanese coast, obliterating nearly every building in its path; more than a million buildings were destroyed or damaged. Perched on the coast, of course, was the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station, whose three functioning reactors, units 1, 2, and 3, were knocked offline by the quake as they were designed to do and were operating under power of backup diesel generators. A seawall, intended to shield the plant from just such a tsunami, proved to be as ineffectual as critics had previously warned. Seawater immediately inundated the emergency generators, knocking out the only source of power keeping necessary cool water circulating over the nuclear fuel rods. Though emergency crews scrambled in the ensuing chaos to find alternative means for cooling the reactors cores, it became clear their mission was one of containing the scope of the disaster rather than restoring the plant. Chemical reactions from the series of events caused pockets of hydrogen to build up in support buildings and for days after the initial disaster resulting in a number of explosions that were captured in dramatic video by surveillance aircraft. Government officials fumbled emergency procedures by many accounts there were delays and misinformation in abundance immediately following the catastrophe which arguably placed the health of the population in question. All told, the evacuation eventually comprised an area of 20 km (12 miles) surrounding the crippled nuclear plant. Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), which operated Fukushima, has conducted a notoriously botched cleanup and containment effort ever since. Five years have seen even the attempt to locate the missing fuel which heated to the point the rods melted through their containment vessels become a largely fruitless endeavor. In fact, its not at all clear where the highly radioactive fuel is located now. It is extremely difficult to access the inside of the nuclear plant, Naohiro Masuda, TEPCOs head of decommissioning, stated in an interview, Newsweek reported. The biggest obstacle is the radiation. Camera-laden, specialized robots each taking two years to develop sent inside the plant to locate the missing fuel have all become incapacitated once radiation interferes with their wiring. Water must be constantly pumped over the destroyed cores in an effort to keep them cool, but once used for that purpose, it must also be pumped out and cannot be reused. TEPCO hastily constructed storage tanks to hold this radioactive water waste, and though some improvements have been made to their design since the early days following the calamity, there are reports of constant leaks and seepages including into the sea. TEPCOs effort to contain radioactivity to the site, by manufacturing an underground wall of ice to prevent the inflow of groundwater, has been similarly futile. Though the first stages of the wall were completed in February, critics are concerned both with the amount of time the project has taken and whether it will ultimately pay off. The reactors continue to bleed radiation into the groundwater and thence into the Pacific Ocean, said former nuclear engineer, Artie Gunderson, according to Newsweek. When Tepco finally stops the groundwater, that will be the end of the beginning. Though the suggestion has been made to entomb the plant by encasing radioactive contaminants in a material like concrete as was the ultimate solution for Chernobyl officials believe Fukushimas location next to the Pacific would endanger the environment. So far, TEPCO and Japanese government officials have been unable to develop a clear plan of action for decommissioning Fukushima. Estimates vary for the length of time needed to effectively carry out the massive project, though they concur it will take decades.

If you spot a typo, email edits@theantimedia.org. Is HAARPs ability to make earthquakes even considered? A documented weakness in the containment and coincidentally one of the top 4 most powerful quakes ever hits it. The 1% love testing destructive technology on Japan, and I believe this is more of the same. Dickard, you are on the right track, see my comment above. See jimstones website Absolute rubbish. Look at his website and then good luck trying to figure out what it actually says. People who know nothing about Japan or nuclear power, or the history of the two in this region, might swallow that crap, but the absurdity that somehow the stuxnet virus was used to cause the meltdowns ignores: 1. The cause of the earthquake Doh! The switch gear and the pumps failed not the generators, the earthquake was minor,- you didnt even try to argue away my fact about there being no significant earthquake damage one of the reactors that supposedly blew up was disassembled at the time and Japan has always been a problem for your Tribe because their culture of Honor has proved impossible infiltrate and to corrupt. The immediate cause was the Japanese agreement to enrich uranium for Iran not your confusing bullshit. earthquake was minor What is your proof of this absurdity? Millions of people experienced the earthquake on that day, and the huge tremor that occurred a few minutes after the first, not to mention the dozens of smaller ones after that. You have written many statements on this page, but none of them are sourced other than Jim Stone CIA disinfo agent. You make a lot of BIG claims none of which are backed up with links or evidence. In other words, your arguments are worthless until you can either put up. I said, in context, that the earthquake was (relatively) minor I said it was less than a 7.0 which, compared to the 9.0 richter scale they claim, IS minor. Remember a single point increase on that scale is a ten times increase in energy released. So the claimed 9.0 earthquake would release 100 times the energy of a 7.0 (actually it was smaller than a 7.0 probably only about a 6.5) Only a lier or a fool takes a statement out of context. As to my sources, perhaps youd like to explain why the CIA would like to spread this particular Disinformation it seems to me that the CIA would be much more likely to suppress it (like you are attempting to do). I find your last sentence interesting: your arguments are worthless until you can either put up. you suddenly stop half way through perhaps finishing of with the normal ending of or shut up would make your goal too clear. Beware the shill, John! Noticed the increase lately? Yes, I suspect that I attract them. I often dont bother to call them out because it gives them the opportunity to play the youre paranoid and Im just an honest commentator card. Totally agree, John. Sounds like you have been on the front lines for a while, too. I wonder whats on our score card lol! Yes, Id be interested in that scoreboard if it exists. As for my experience, I started to learn debating internet style more than 20 years ago (Im an old bugger) on a section of the net called UseNet. It is very obscure these days but before the www existed it was a major part of the net. Originally there was only eMail and UseNet, both text only. UseNet was a system of bulletin boards where there was a huge number of sites that you could subscribe to on every conceivable subject or interest and anyone could read posts and reply or post new threads. Most were unmoderated it was very close to pure anarchy. Lots of fun was had. I found his site fairly easy to read . I dont know if Jim Stones site is still reliable last I looked he had stopped updating it he may be dead or in a dark cage somewhere. But his information is out there, you can still find it. It is sabotage that stops it updating it happened with me too but I logged on from a blogger and it was updated. Thanks for that info I was hoping he was OK. That is what I said when it happened. They dont care, and would obviously do their testing, and keep it an absolute secret if it was the cause. Total sociopaths are in control and its scary. Even if not for HARRP, GE was at fault for the reactor containment failures, and was not held responsible. Glad to see you have your tin-foil thinking cap on. Well, here we have the whole official story, thanks Clair. The problem is its completely false. It was actually a relatively minor earthquake less than a 7.0. You can confirm this by researching videos of the tsunami flooding onto the shore. Every video you will find that shows this happening shows the water flooding UNDAMAGED cities. Parking lots with the cars neatly lined up, suburbs of timber framed houses showing undamaged. If you can find it there is a video taken inside a news room close to the epicenter and one journalist doesnt even stop typing. They upped the earthquake to match the size of the tsunami. What a lie. I was there/here on 3/11 and it was no minor earthquake, I can tell you that, it was MASSIVE. So take your nonsense and peddle elsewhere. This is the retarded Jim Stone thesis (feces) being repeddled, blah. Yeah sure you were there. How did you survive? Have you seen the photos of the Kobe quake that was Much smaller yet totally devastated that city? Kobe killed thousands, the Fukushima earthquake killed virtually zero except for the tsunami. Im no fan of the Israelis, but this is a case of poisoning the well. The Israelis are evil for many reasons including using nuclear weapons as a form of blackmail against Europe (we will bomb you if you dont do as we say). The level of ignorance of your comments is astounding, no facts, a lot of absurd pronouncements. You claim the earthquake was minor when millions of people experienced it, and it was NOT minor, the opposite. What evidence does Jim Stone present in his convoluted page of garbage that is reliably sourced? None. Your admission of the conventional, political level evil of the Tribe doesnt give you any sort of pass to credibility everyone knows those things what you are trying to hide is a level of EVIL that goes off the human chart. These shills think we are so stupid we cant identify them! Never mess with a free thinking truther! Yey! Go us! lol Look, I am also a researcher and so-called conspiracy theorist, but your comment has no basis in fact, and wouldnt matter if it did. There is an existing dire problem now. It wouldnt matter either, if HAARP caused the earthquake that supposedly caused the Tsunami and subsequent reactor meltdowns. The only thing that matters now, is not eating fish caught in the Pacific, and not swimming or surfing in the Pacific, and not drinking any water processed from the Pacific, and not being in the rain over North America, and not breathing the air when there is a storm that originates from Japan. Why dont you just find a video showing a Japanese suburb that was devastated Before being hit by the tsunami before claiming it was caused by natural causes? The meltdowns were Not caused by the tsunami and the tsunami was Not caused by the earthquake. It was deliberate Sabotage. Im not saying such a video exists or even that the quake caused massive damage before the Tsunami (though there are videos from Tokyo, in office buildings which show the strength and severity of the earthquake, even in those earthquake proofed/reinforced buildings). Your first two paragraphs make no sense. Maybe you missed my meaning Im saying that you need to find such videos if you believe that the tsunami was caused by an earthquake but you cant because there was no 9.0 earthquake. The office buildings would have been destroyed by such an intense quake as they claim happened. Yet there was virtually no damage compared to the Kobe event which was much smaller. The numbers are a bit preposterous, Popular Mechanics was shifted to the left by enough to have become Less POPULAR. My geology degree remains firmly planted in reality. This is, however, absolutely the worst (known) reactor accident in the history of Nuclear Power and the radiation release will be never ending, (arguably) in that it will take hundreds of thousands of years for the radio-active elements to decay to a HALF-Potency, refereed to as half life. Though spread out, the radiation has, essentially, permanently harmed the Bio-Sphere. There is SOME hope, new developments that are related to cold fusion better referred to as LENR (Low Energy Nuclear Reactions) which are being suppressed in the normal way (ignoring it or ridicule) point to the possibility of speeding up the supposedly invariant rate of nuclear half-lifes. Revelations 11:8 ..God will destroy those who destroy the earth Wow, so there IS some good in that book. Pity the Tribe hasnt paid any attention to that bit. I sent you a follow up which was deleted. Interesting, youre not the only one, EddySachs also sent one, I saw it as a notification that an additional comment existed while I was answering another, so I clicked to download it, It was a funny comment about how I shouldnt bother about the shills and idiots. I wrote a reply but when I clicked post it gave me a big red message saying something like You can only reply to active messages I guess this confirms my opinion about this subject. Nice. I think we were lucky to get the exposure we did. It will be trigger words such as a certain book I mentioned Normally that is the cause thats why I use Tribe or Chosen Ones or sometimes Eskimos, but this post by Eddy didnt contain any that I noticed and it was not rejected automatically by a computer but initially got through, then was picked up within a few minutes presumably by a human. I suspect the subject of our discussion flagged it as dangerous and they didnt want it becoming too well noticed by the masses. Eddy is a well known and popular poster and his endorsement needed to be hidden to preserve the image of us as fringe loonies. BTW Im curious about the book you mentioned. Ad hominem attack. What evidence do you have other than Jim Stones piece of nonsense unsourced page that the Israelis were behind the Earthquake, or was there no earthquake now? If you cant explain your thesis simply then you are confused from the start. Start over and start using your brain. I am no fan of the Israelis, they are of the Synagogue of Satan. The truth is the truth though. Did you idiots on this page know that Japan exists in the Pacific Rim of FIre of seismic activity? Learn some basic geology before making moronic claims from the Jim Stone CIA disinfo site. Doh! You need to maintain consistency at least if you want to maintain your cover Rad Man. Nobody claimed there was no earthquake. That is an example of a Straw Man argument. And I doubt that Eddy has even seen the Jim Stone information, he was just commenting on the quality of the responses. I am led to concur that they used HAARP or a nuclear bomb down in the Mariana Trench or one close to Japanas this was a completely staged False Flag with the Israhell security contract that actually used a mini nuke (so-called Hydrogen explosion) at the same time their Stuxnet virus was loosed in the software the cooling generators were never able to deploy.as another Khazarian Mafia HIT!.for Japan potentially selling plutonium to Iran threatening to discontinue the tribute to the American Petro $$$+ it sent out a HUGE message to anyone else attempting to break from their hegemony (IMHO). actually Rad Man .I was commenting about someone else the juxtaposition inadvertently got You in the crosXhairs by mistake essentially out of context.sincerest apologies for the rise in blood pressure I think you are being too nice to this Rad Man dude. In my opinion he deserves no respect. To be impartial fair open.Ive never come across the Rad Man beforeIll have to reserve judgement until I read him fresh off the press in a new post. Thats good then I thought you had had interactions with him before and found him legitimate. My instincts tell me he shows many signs of being a damage control agent, doing his hasbara duties. I dont think we will hear from him again. my mistake see below Hey! They reinstated your post Eddy, maybe our mentioning it had some effect! Another big quakes due to happen beneath another Japanese reactor. Poor Japan. Thanks encyclopedia! 
1	According to a study published this week in the American Journal Of Obstetrics And Gynecology, an increasing number of men are choosing to be physically present while conceiving a child with their wives or partners. What were seeing is a much greater openness by men to play an active role on the day of conception, said Dr. Renee Price of the University of Pennsylvania, who co-authored the study. They feel its important to show their support during that special time when their sperm is released to fertilize the egg, and they want to be right by the womans side every step of the way. Fifty years ago it was considered the norm that the husband wasnt involved, but now the act of creating a new life is something many expectant fathers want to be a part of, Price added. According to the study, more and more men now express a desire to participate in the insemination process, seeing conception as a bonding moment that they can experience together with their wives instead of alone in another room. Additionally, the research documented a trend in recent decades toward conceiving at home, where couples are often more comfortable and can choose to have the process occur in a bathtub or other nontraditional setting. I have to say it was pretty intense; I felt a little uncomfortable with all the moaning, but once it really started happening it was one of the greatest moments of my life, said Ken Olafson, recalling that he was so overwhelmed with emotion after the act of conception that he could barely speak. I actually felt a little helpless, with her doing all the work and me just sitting there. But in the moment, I must say it was incredibly beautiful. We have a video of the whole thing, too, Olafson added. Its nice that we can go back and watch it again. The data, however, revealed that not all men are opting to be around for the act of conceiving a child. A minority of those surveyed said they were put off by the visually graphic nature of conception, preferring not to witness the sight of their partners frantically writhing around in bed. A lot of people say its magical, but I actually found it to be pretty awkward for the most part, first-time father Pete Karam said. My girlfriend was clearly uncomfortable, but everything I tried to do for her didnt seem to be working. For someone whod never done anything like this before, she was a real trooper, though. I know there were parts she didnt enjoy, but once it was over she seemed relieved. I agree that its something every man should experience at least once, he continued. But I dont think well be doing it again anytime soon. While many women initially expressed hesitation about their partners taking on a more active role in their childs conception, most confirmed that they appreciated the emotional support, comfort, and words of encouragement throughout the process. Im glad he was in there, said Houston resident Kelly Mitchell. Overall, it took a lot longer than I would have wanted and he didnt really know what to do, but having him around was really special. I couldnt have done it without him. 
2	ISIS Targets U.S. Planes While President Barack Obama pretends to have ISIS contained, homeland security experts are warning the American public that terrorists continue to target United States air travel. According to military experts, ramped up security measures have done little to deter terror groups from focusing on airplanes. Thats not surprising considering Obama fails to even acknowledge Islam as a threat. Secretary Jeh Johnson claims that we need to focus on improving airport security, especially when it comes to insider threats. Though we have reduced risks domestically, security breaches still remain. He also notes that homegrown terrorism is also a growing problem, with attacks like the one we saw in San Bernardino on the rise. Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com 
3	Top Cyber Cop Says Internet Way Overdue For Attackselfnews Post In the CBS interview, Henry claims state-sponsored actors like China and Russia are already infiltrating and causing damage to networks, yet he provides no proof of this. To date, all suspected attacks have been proven to be false alarms despite the media hype. Furthermore, it is the U.S. and Israel who are among the leaders in the rapid evolution of the offensive cyberwar arms race. This coincides with the ramp-up of cybersecurity legislation. Coincidentally, it is Lieberman who is interviewed for the video below. Lieberman has been at the forefront of proposed cyber tyranny, and alludes to a potential cyber 9/11 when he says that would-be cyber terrorists can do as much or more damage than the terrorists did on 9/11 by knocking out our power grid for weeks, by incapacitating all of our banks. Besides having absolutely no proof of anyone having this capacity with the exception of Israel and the U.S. who have proven themselves to be the leading state-sponsored cyber threats, backers of cyber security legislation have gotten caught using bogus figures in an attempt to bolster their case. Much as we saw with 9/11, and more recently in the Batman shooter case, anti-freedom legislation like gun control is always there on the shelf to be brought into reality under the right circumstances. The right circumstances for those who seek full-spectrumInternet control means that we should be on guard against a false flag to justify its implementation. At the end of the video, Henry states that time is short and businesses oppose government regulation, so Lieberman might not have the political will to get the legislation passed. Whats the next logical step if you seek more control against the peoples will? Be vigilant, be aware, and be prepared something is in the air.

3	Counter-economics: THIS is what a REAL revolution looks likeBy James Corbett 
3	Drone Detection Systems Provide Peace of MindJanet Phelan According to some pundits, that future has arrived. While drone attacks rage in Yemen, Pakistan and elsewhere, domestic use of drones in the United States and elsewhere is on the risesharply. The names of authorized drone users released by the Federal Aviation Administration reveals not only federal agencies such as Customs and Border Patrol and the FBI, but also features numerous local police agencies and colleges gracing the authorization list. At least one tribal entity is also included. Apparently, no one is immune from drone surveillance. None other than the chairman of the intelligence oversight committee in the US Senate, Dianne Feinstein, recently reported seeing a little drone peering through her window. In response to a spike in generalized and regrettably realistic paranoia, some US manufacturers are now offering personal drone protection systems. Gone are the days when hiring a bruiser with a bulge in his holster would be satisfactory insurance against unwanted intrusions. As electronic surveillance techniques continue to become more sophisticatedwith drones now high on the list of potential threatsthe spectre of drone surveillance has resulted in new technology to shield from these. There are options, as you may have intuited. Domestic Drone Countermeasures will fight fire with fire, or more accurately, deploys electronic detection systems to pick up transmissions from incoming drones. Domestic Drone Countermeasures offers a mesh system and detection grid. This is how it works: the basic Personal Drone Detection System comes with two detection sensor nodes as well as a Privacy Command Control Module. These three boxes create a network system that can identify and triangulate moving transmitters (i.e., drones). You can key into the system existing local transmitters (like your smart phone) and program the system to ignore these signals. If a signal then occurs which is not designated to be ignored, the Personal Drone Detection System will determine that signal to be hostile and will sound an alarm. According to the company, each sensor can detect an incoming drone within 50 feet in all directions. Additional sensor nodes can be acquired to increase the size of the mesh network. A company called DroneShield uses acoustic detection technology to determine the presence of drones. According to this company, Each DroneShield contains a database of common drone acoustic signatures so false alarms are reduced. Sound detection is accomplished in the following manner: a unique sound pattern or algorithm is first identified, then broken into minute digital slices using a technology called analog to digital conversion (ADC). From that point, it is fairly simple to determine if the sound detected fits the signature of a drone. If so, an alarm is then sounded. According to reports, the system can detect an incoming drone a half a mile away. DroneShield states: Our clients include executives concerned about paparazzi and harassment, corporations worried about intellectual property loss, prisons detecting contraband smuggling, airports and heliports, and US military and homeland security departments. DroneShield offers customized attention and states that it will come to your location to do a needs assessment. DroneShield also offers maintenance and update services, as the drones may become even harder to detect. As discussed recently on the DroneShield website, the new Bebop drone may not be detectable through a prior signature (called Parrot AR). DroneShield promises it is already at work on the Bebop acoustic signature. According to DroneShield founder John Franklin, eighteen countries have already placed orders for his Shield system. In addition, a French company, Orelia, has thrown its hat into the ring and is also offering drone detection systems. Their Drone Detector also works by analyzing the acoustic signature. It is not only the potential intrusion by governments that is driving the market for drone detection systems. According to recent news reports, drugs and weapons are being smuggled into prisons by civilian drones. The rich and famous are also now complaining that their privacy is being invaded by drone spying fans. On the lighter side, Dominos Pizza has used drones to deliver fresh, hot pizza to people dining in. And drones have also been used by some news reporters to capture a different angle on a breaking story. Civilian drones, once priced at about $1000 (camera included) are now available at a rock-bottom price of $50. Both Google and Facebook have acquired aerospace companies which are also involved in drone manufacturing. According to the press releases, these Internet giants are seeking to develop ways to use drones to bring the web to remote areas. Or maybe they are simply cementing their relationships with the NSA. Both Google and Facebook have been mentioned in NSA spying scandals which have highlighted their accommodation of spying on Internet users. The day is fast approaching when the old Spy vs. Spy paradigm may be replaced (or enhanced) with Drone vs. Drone. Those wishing simply to be left alone may end up barricading themselves behind an electronic net of detection and protection systems. Dystopian future? Looks like it is already here.

2	BREAKING: It Begins... The Election Might Be Stolen From Trump After Official Recount Initiates Ever since Donald Trump officially became our nations President-elect, liberals have been complaining about how unfair our election system is. After Hillary Clintons loss, liberals began demanding a recount in key battleground statesin hopes that they could steal the presidency from Trump, who clearly won the electoral vote. Now, Jill Steins presidential campaign has announced that it will file for recounts in three key states if it can raise enough money to do so. After a divisive and painful presidential race, reported hacks into voter and party databases and individual email accounts are causing many Americans to wonder if our election results are reliable, Stein said in a statement. Stein intends to request recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvaniastates that were critical to Trumps victory. The subject of recounts fist arose on Tuesday when New York Magazine reported that election security experts were urging Clintons campaign to contest the results. What do you think? Is this an extraordinarily hypocritical move for liberals, given that they criticized Trump for calling the election rigged? 
1	Expressing gratitude for helping her escape certain punishment, Malia Obama quietly thanked two Secret Service agents Thursday for taking the rap after she crashed a government vehicle into a White House barricade while returning from a late-night party. Thanks so much, you guys; I promise Ill be way more careful next time, whispered the presidents 16-year-old daughter, adding that she would have been totally screwed if the two agents hadnt stepped in to cover for her negligent behavior. If my parents knew I was out drinking, they wouldve freaked. I really hope my dad didnt get too mad and yell at you. Seriously, if you guys hadnt taken the blame for me I wouldve been grounded for, like, a month. At press time, Malia Obama was reiterating how grateful she was that the agents had also played off her boyfriends furtive visit last November as a security breach by a crazed White House intruder. 
1	Claiming that it is the humane thing to do, and that the planet is just going to suffer if kept alive any longer, members of the worlds scientific community recommended today that Earth be put down. We realize this isnt the easiest thing to hear, but weve run a number of tests and unfortunately theres really nothing more we can do for Earth at this point, said leading climatologist Dr. Robert Wyche of Colorado State Universitys Department of Atmospheric Science. Earths ecosystems have hung in there for a while, and you have to hand it to the old gal for staying alive this long, but at this point the chances of a recovery are, Im sorry to say, incredibly unlikely. It might be time to say goodbye. Earth is in a lot of pain, folks, Wyche continued. Time to think about sending it off peacefully, for its own sake. While admitting that the prospect of saying goodbye to the terrestrial planet is very difficult, Wyche explained to reporters that letting nature take its course would only prolong the inevitable. Wyche also stressed that if Earth is not put down, humanity would ultimately be responsible for its continuing care, which would be increasingly difficult as time goes on. Scientists reportedly also made several heartfelt assurances that the procedure would be quick and virtually painless. We understand that youve all become very attached to Earth over the years, and its hard to let go of something you love like this, but the fact is that no matter what, it simply wont be able to keep going for much longer, said Wyche, adding that there would be no guarantees regarding Earths already substandard quality of life if it is not put down in the immediate future. Look, at the end of the day, Earth is 4.5 billion years old and had a great life. The last thing you want to do is wait and draw this difficult ordeal out any further. Granted, this is a very tough decision, so if you need more time to think about it or discuss it amongst yourselves, thats totally understandable, Wyche added. But just be aware that the longer you wait, the more pain Earth will ultimately endure. Reportedly sensing some hesitancy on the part of humanity, Wyche then reiterated that very little can be done to prevent or counteract the myriad of maladies currently plaguing Earth, and that putting down the planet would in fact be the caring thing to do at this juncture. To be honest, there is a chance that had we taken more drastic steps earlier, Earth would have been able to survive for longermuch, much longer, even, Wyche said. But unfortunately, that is now a moot point. Right now, you should just cherish the good times you and Earth had together and give it a gentle and merciful send-off. Its your choice, though, Wyche added. So, you know, take your time. At press time, scientists had given humanity a few private moments to say goodbye before finally putting Earth out of its misery.

During a speech at a rally in Fort Dodge, Iowa, Trump claimed that he would bomb the s*** out of ISIS-controlled oil fields. ISIS is making a tremendous amount of money because they have certain oil camps, certain areas of oil that they took away, he continued. They have some in Syria, some in Iraq. I would bomb the s***t out of em. I would just bomb those suckers. Thats right. Id blow up the pipesId blow up every single inch. The crowd broke out into an enthusiastic applause. There would be nothing left, he concluded. What do you think? Is it time for a true leader in the White House? 
1	According to sources within the company, Netflix's board of directors held a tense series of meetings Friday to decide whether the 1996 fantasy-comedy Michael, starring actor John Travolta, should be included among the movies available through its instant-viewing program. Netflix, which debuted its Watch Instantly service in 2007, boasts a library of tens of thousands of titles, each of which requires at least 70 percent approval from the seven-member board before it is cleared for streaming. Reports indicated the final decision on whether to include the Nora Ephrondirected Michael, in which a vulgar, cigarette-smoking angel visits Earth, is still pending and has required numerous rounds of voting from the board. 'Michael would be an invaluable addition to our catalog, and I strongly recommend we act on this immediately,' chief content officer Ted Sarandos reportedly said moments after the 8 a.m. meeting was officially called to order. 'The film is a PG-rated romp with broad cross-generational appeal, and Travolta is a huge draw for the 45-to-60-year-old demographic, which we've really been struggling with lately.' 'Some may call it a risk, but frankly, Michael is a risk I'm willing to take,' Sarandos continued. 'We can't afford to wait around on this. We need to push it through today.' As with any new film under consideration by Netflix, executives held two back-to-back screenings of Michael: the first to get a general feel for the picture, and the second for critical analysis. They then discussed the movie in detail, carefully scrutinizing each scene and reviewing such criteria as story, acting quality, number of quotable lines of dialogue, and level of enjoyment upon subsequent viewings. Sources said that while the procedure to add a movie can be relatively straightforward, as with unanimously approved titles such as Iron Man 2 and, some films, like Never Been Kissed, Dante's Peak, and Rango, have been far more contentious, often resulting in fiery board room clashes and even threats to quit the company. 'The board quickly reached a favorable consensus on the bar scene where Michael dances to 'Chain Of Fools,'' said a source familiar with the proceedings, speaking on condition of anonymity. 'But there were bitter disagreements over the film's ending, in which Michael and Pansy dance together while time is frozen. [Board members] Jay [Hoag] and Ann [Mather] felt it was an excellent way to wrap things up, but others found it both corny and totally anticlimactic. That pretty much brought the meeting to a standstill.' Stretching late into the evening, the Michael meetings were reportedly punctuated by several executives storming out of the conference room following particularly fierce disputes over the quality of Andie MacDowell's performance, as well as by heated exchanges over the quirky casting of actor William Hurt as cynical tabloid journalist Frank Quinlan. 'Obviously, I can't get into all the specifics of what we're discussing in there,' said executive George Battle, speaking to reporters outside of Netflix headquarters during a short reprieve from the contentious talks. 'But I will say that if [company director] Rich [Barton] honestly thinks Andie MacDowell was better in Michael than she was in Short Cutsor even Multiplicity, for that matterthen he's out of his goddamn mind. And that you can quote me on.' At one point, sources said, frustrated board member Timothy Haley, known throughout the company as a strong Michael proponent, stood up and slammed his fists on the table, shouting that even questioning whether the film merited inclusion in the Watch Instantly program meant the company had 'lost the very ideals upon which it was founded.' At approximately 11 p.m., Netflix co-founder and CEO Reed Hastings reportedly made one last effort to sway the board to approve the move. 'Michael represents the next step for our company,' Hastings wrote in a company-wide e-mail obtained by reporters. 'The stockholders may not approve of the decision initially, but I'm willing to stake my whole career on its success. And if I go down for this one, then so be it. That's how strongly I feel.' 'I love the part when Michael brings the dog back to life after the truck accident, and then his wings fall off,' Hastings added. At press time, sources confirmed the board had narrowly passed the motion to introduce Michael into the Netflix streaming catalog, but remained deadlocked over the 1999 baseball-themed romantic drama For Love Of The Game. 
3	Syrias Bashar al-Assad Is More Evil Than Al Qaeda, ApparentlyBrit Dee, Contributor Al Qaedas presence in Syria has been fleetingly acknowledged by both the US and British governments and widely discussed in the alternative media, though the fact that fundamentalist terrorists are behind much of the violence in the country goes largely unmentioned in our leaders propagandistic tirades against Assad. This is unsurprising. It would be totally absurd to claim that Assad who ruled over a stable, secular and peaceful country prior to the chaos currently engulfing Syria is more tyrannical and dangerous than a terror network weve been fighting for well over a decade, and who stand accused of murdering 3000 people on 9/11. An open acknowledgment that the West is now supporting people who have killed US soldiers in Iraq, could be too much for even the most ill-informed and propagandised Fox News-watcher to stomach. Only a complete idiot would imagine that Al Qaeda are fighting for freedom and democracy for the people of Syria; and a story published in yesterdays London Guardian, filed from the Deir el-Zour province in Eastern Syria, clearly spells out their goal the establishment of a theocratic Islamic state. Khuder is quite open about the fact that he and his men are just one of a number of militant jihadi organisations operating in Syria, carrying out terrorism against Assads government with the goal of establishing an Islamic state and not a Syrian state. Foreign fighters from Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Jordan, he says, are amongst those carrying out many of the bombings and shootings. Assad has consistently accused foreign terrorists of being behind the violence in Syria an allegation conspicuously ignored by Western leaders. Khuder claims to be in close contact with the Free Syrian Army. He and his men meet them almost every day, he says, and have clear instructions from our [al-Qaida] leadership that if the FSA need our help we should give it. We help them with IEDs and car bombs. Our main talent is in the bombing operations. His men have a lot of experience from making bombs in Iraq and elsewhere, adds Khuder.A Free Syrian Army rebel, disgruntled at how Al Qaeda fighters have co-opted his revolutionary cause, describes his fundamentalist associates summary executions of Syrian government soldiers with pistol shots to the head, and how he fears they are trying to bring us back to the days of Iraq and we have seen what that achieved. The unnamed young revolutionary, a doctor from Shahail, says that Al Qaeda are stealing the revolution from us and, chillingly, that they are working for the day that comes after.

2	Al Sharpton Just Unveiled His Solution For Baltimore You Will Be FURIOUS According to recent reports, Al Sharpton is heading to Baltimore to meet with community leaders and plan a march. His announcement followed the funeral of Freddie Gray, after Baltimore broke out in violent riots. While community leaders are attempting to put out fires in the community, Sharpton is simply fanning the flames. His plans to organize a two-day march from Baltimore to Washington will do nothing but stir up more destruction and violence. The march will bring the case of Freddie Gray, Eric Garner, Walter Scott, Eric Harris to the new Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, Sharpton wrote in a press release. Ms. Lynch, in her new role that we all supported, must look and intervene in these cases. Justice delayed is justice denied. Lynch was sworn into the position at the beginning of the week, and on her first day, she met with President Obama to discuss the riots. In the days ahead, I intend to work with leaders throughout Baltimore to ensure that we can protect the security and civil rights of all residents, Lynch told reporters. And I will bring the full resources of the Department of Justice to bear in protecting those under threat, investigating wrongdoing, and securing an end to violence. Meanwhile, Sharpton is on the air talking about police brutality and racial discrimination. What do you think? Is Sharpton the ultimate instigator? 
2	Welfare Recipients Just Received The Worst News Of Their Life According to recent reports, Mayor Robert Macdonald of Lewiston, Maine has just proposed that the name of welfare recipients be public knowledge. Macdonald recently commented on the issue as follows: In Maine there is a website that lists the pension amounts received by everyone who is issued a monthly check by the State of Maine. No privacy here because this is being paid out by the State; accordingly, taxpayers have a right to know. Yet other recipients of state revenues are shielded. Yes, I am referring to those known as welfare recipients. Why are they treated differently than pensioners? The answer: our liberal, progressive legislators and their social-service allies have made them a victimized, protected class. Its none of your business how much of your money they get and spend. Who are you to question it? Just shut up and pay! What do you think? Do you support holding welfare recipients accountable by releasing their names to the public? Or is this a violation of their rights?

2	Clint Eastwood Makes Huge Announcement, He Needs Your Support According to recent reports, 84-year-old Clint Eastwood and his wife of 18 years, Dina Marie Eastwood, have just finalized their divorce. Reports indicate that a Monterey county Superior Court officially closed the marriage at the beginning of last week, and approved a judgment in the case. The judgment does not determine how the pair intends to divide their many assets. Dina Eastwood originally filed for divorce in October 2013, claiming irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. The former couple have one daughter together. The Eastwoods originally married in 1996, after Dina was assigned to interview the actor for a TV news station. It was Clints second marriage. What do you think? Do you support Eastwood? 
1	Paramount Pictures is rolling out the red carpet to shelve its latest comedy, The Munsters. 'Join us in welcoming this poorly realized film to the Paramount studio archives,' read a press release for the film, not coming to theaters any time soon. 'Based upon the mid-'60s TV show, this $45 million bad film was intended to capitalize upon the nostalgic appeal of the series, but became bogged down in rewrites and production delays, only to end up as an unwatchable career-ender.' The press release also described the casting of actor Larry Hagman in the role of Grandpa Munster as 'a stupid, stupid move.' 
2	What Obama Just Said About White People Will Make You FURIOUS [VIDEO] While speaking to a group of University of Chicago law school students recently, Barack Obama argued that Americas voting system is rooted in discrimination, with laws that are designed to unabashedly discourage Americans from voting. According to reports from Western Journalism, Obama reportedly told the scholars that mandatory voting would reduce some of the polarization that he believes exists in our system today. True to character, he was quick to bring race into the discussion. We really are the only advanced democracy on earth that systematically and purposefully makes it really hard for people to vote, Obama commented. There is no other country on Earth that does that. There is a legacy to that, that grows directly out of a history in which first propertied men, then white men, then white folks didnt want women, minorities, to participate in the political process and be able to empower themselves in that fashion. Thats the history. We should be a society in whichat this pointwe say, yeah, that history is not so good. That cant be right, he continued. There is no justification for that. You cant defend it. Maybe the single biggest change that we could make in our political process that would reduce some of the polarization, make people feel more invested and restore integrity to the system is just make sure everybody is voting. Australia has got mandatory voting. If you start getting 70 or 80 percent voting rates, thats transformative. Thats the essence of our democracy, he concluded. We cant help but wonder if Obama is referring to the large number of young liberals who neglect to vote.

3	12 Ways The Economy Is Already In Worse Shape Than It Was During The Depths Of The Last RecessionBy Michael Snyder In this article, I am going to share with you a bunch of charts and statistics that show that economic conditions are already substantially worse than they were during the last financial crisis in a whole bunch of different ways. Unfortunately, in our 48-hour news cycle world, a slow and steady decline does not produce many sexy headlines. Those of us that are news junkies (myself included) are always looking for things that will shock us. But if you stand back and take a broader view of things, what has been happening to the U.S. economy truly is quite shocking. The following are 12 ways that the U.S. economy is already in worse shape than it was during the depths of the last recession #1 Back in 2008, 18 percent of all Americans kids were living in poverty. This week, we learned that number has now risen to 22 percent Nearly a quarter of youngsters in the US (22 percent) or around 16.1 million individuals, were classed as living below the poverty line in 2013. This has soared from just 18 percent in 2008 during the height of the economic crisis, the Casey Foundations 2015 Kids Count Data Book reported. #2 In early 2008, the homeownership rate in the U.S. was hovering around 68 percent. Today, it has plunged below 64 percent. Incredibly, it has not been this low in more than 20 years. Just look at this chart the homeownership rate has continued to plummet throughout Obamas economic recovery #4 On the chart below, you can see that the U.S. national debt was sitting at about 9 trillion dollars when we entered the last recession. Since that time, the debt of the federal government has doubled. We are on the exact same path that Greece has gone down, and what you are looking at below is a recipe for national economic suicide #7 In a healthy economy, lots of new businesses are opening and not that many are being forced to shut down. But for each of the past six years, more businesses have closed in the United States than have opened. Prior to 2008, this had never happened before in all of U.S. history. #8 Barack Obama is constantly telling us about how unemployment is going down, but the truth is that the percentage of working age Americans that are either working or considered to be looking for work has steadily declined since the end of the last recession #11 Thanks to all of these factors, the middle class in America is dying. In 2008, 53 percent of all Americans considered themselves to be middle class. But by 2014, only 44 percent of all Americans still considered themselves to be middle class. When you take a look at our young people, the numbers become even more pronounced. In 2008, 25 percent of all Americans in the 18 to 29-year-old age bracket considered themselves to be lower class. But in 2014, an astounding 49 percent of all Americans in that age range considered themselves to be lower class. #12 This is something that I have covered before, but it bears repeating. The velocity of money is a very important indicator of the health of an economy. When an economy is functioning smoothly, people generally feel quite good about things and money flows freely through the system. I buy something from you, then you take that money and buy something from someone else, etc. But when an economy is in trouble, the velocity of money tends to go down. As you can see on the chart below, a drop in the velocity of money has been associated with every single recession since 1960. So why has the velocity of money continued to plummet since the end of the last recession? One is unfolding right now before our very eyes. But what most people really mean when they ask about these things is that they are wondering when the next great financial crisis will happen. And as I discussed yesterday, things are lining up in textbook fashion for one to happen in our very near future. Once the next great financial crisis does strike, all of the numbers that I just discussed above are going to get a whole lot worse. So as bad as things are now, the truth is that this is just the beginning of the pain.

1	According to a study published Monday by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, for every person who reads, listens to, or watches some form of media on the internet, there are approximately 2,000 individuals engaged in creating new online content. In terms of web-based entertainment, journalism, and personal opinion pieces, creators now outnumber consumers by a factor of several hundred thousand percentmeaning that for every one viewer, there are dozens of fully staffed companies churning out articles, videos, blogs, vlogs, and countless social media posts hoping to lure that person to click, said bureau commissioner Erica Groshen, adding that during each minute of online video streamed by a consumer, another whole lifetimes worth of video content is uploaded. Furthermore, our analysis found that the massive increase in internet usage over the past two decades was due almost entirely to people going online to publish text or images they themselves had produced and then repeatedly hitting the refresh button to see if anyone else has looked at their work. Reports later confirmed that the six people who worked on this article are the only ones currently reading it. 
1	Air traveler Lynn Paschal feels physically and mentally ready to fulfill the duties of an exit-row passenger should tragedy strike United Airlines Flight 234 en route to Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport, sources close to the 34-year-old confirmed Monday. The fully prepared Lynn Paschal. 'The last thing anyone wants is an emergency landing,' said Paschal, limbering up his forearms and checking his reach to the door handle. 'But in case we do, I'll do everything in my power to make sure everyone gets out quickly and safely.' In the unlikely event of an emergency landing, Paschal may be called upon to open the escape door with the help of the O'Hare-based United flight crew. 'I certainly hope there will be at least one crew member left alive to help me, but there's no guarantee of that,' Paschal said. 'I have to prepare for the possibility that I'm the surviving passengers' only hope.' Paschal noted that if need be, he could probably throw the door open himself, either by applying all his strength to the handle or by wrapping a seatbelt strap around it for leverage. In addition to opening the exit-row door, Paschal's emergency duties would include helping his fellow passengers exit the plane and slide down the inflatable chute. 'That's the price you pay for having a little extra leg room here in the exit row,' said Paschal, who stowed his carry-on bag in the overhead compartment so it wouldn't tangle the legs of escaping passengers. 'Right now, it's leg room, but when the plane is engulfed in flames or sinking like a stone 30,000 feet above central Tennessee, it could be the path to life. And that's a path I want clear.' 'Don't worry,' said Paschal, turning to the woman seated next to him. 'You're going to see your family again.' Paschal first learned of his exit-row responsibilities during the standard pre-flight safety video shown to passengers as Flight 234 prepared for takeoff. Paschal paid strict attention to the presentation, well aware that he could be unexpectedly called into service. 'When [chief flight attendant] Melinda [Garnock] directed my attention to the exit sign above my head, I was glad I made damn sure I had the procedure down,' said Paschal, scanning the plane for any elderly passengers who might need special assistance. 'Now, I'm basically a member of the crew. Until this plane lands, I'm no longer a civilian.' In addition to familiarizing himself with the large, clearly marked lever, Paschal made other preparations. After introducing himself to everyone in the immediate vicinity of seat 15E, he tucked the aircraft's crash card into the underside of his tray table for easy access. He also fixed his seat in its most upright position. 'Can't afford to relax on this flight,' Paschal said. 'No coffee, no soda. Got to stay ready. I might have to make my way around this bird in total darkness or even underwater.' Paschal's zeal has not gone unnoticed by United personnel. 'I asked him about six times to stop removing his seat cushion,' Garnock said. 'He said he was practicing using it as a flotation device. He only stopped when I assured him we wouldn't be crossing any oceans from Chicago to Atlanta. He kept looking over at me and giving me the thumbs-up.' 'He took me aside earlier and said he was pretty sure he could get everyone out himself, that if it came to it, I should save myself,' flight attendant Yvette Sanchez said. 'It took me a while to realize he was talking about helping people out of the plane in an emergency.' Added Sanchez: 'Apparently, the guy doesn't realize that in the unlikely event of a crash, we're all fucking dead.' 
3	Obama to Assad: Stop Bombing ISIS and Let Us Bomb CiviliansBrandon Turbeville Indeed, on November 26, a new report from the United Nations addressed the issue of civilian deaths at the hand of the American airstrikes, citing 50 dead civilians since the start of the air campaign. The report stated that The international coalition continued airstrikes against ISIL in Syria on a near-daily basis with reports of some 865 people killed, including 50 civilians, in Aleppo, Deir ez-Zor, Hasakeh, Idlib and Raqqa since strikes began. Of course, the figure of 50 dead civilians is obviously quite low. American airstrikes have been known to target residential neighborhoods filled with innocent civilians killing many in one fell swoop. In addition, the United States has appeared to have been targeting civilian areas since the beginning of the campaign. Apparently, the United Nations is using the same formula as Western media outlets in order to calculate the number of civilian deaths at the hands of the United States Air Force in Syria. In other words, as was the case in Vietnam, any dead human being (or anything that can be construed as a dead human being) is considered a dead death squad fighter but never a civilian. These manipulated figures are then reported back to a dazed and befuddled public who never think to question the numbers presented to them in the first place. While the real numbers of dead Syrians whose lives were lost at the hands of American airstrikes are much higher, these numbers are inconsequential to the directors of the campaign and the overall destabilization. These numbers are also quite acceptable to the humanitarian warriors and we are the world Westerners observing the death toll from far away. However, when the Syrian government the only legitimate force operating in Syria and the only legitimate power to combat the Western-backed death squads engages in airstrikes in the same exact location against ISIS (not civilians), the United States responds with condemnation, hysteria, and panicked claims of crimes against humanity and intentional targeting of civilians. The Syrian air campaign in Raqqa is alleged to have killed 95 people although the number of civilians vs the number of death squad operatives is, as of yet, unclear. The U.S. government, however, responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent Iraqis (and counting), well over a hundred thousand Syrians, thousands of Libyans, tens of thousands of Afghanis, and a smattering of other nationalities across the globe including Americans, responded that it was horrified by Assads continued slaughter and no value for human life. U.S. State Department spokesman Jen Psaki stated that We are horrified by the reports that the Assad regimes airstrikes yesterday in Raqqa, Syria killed dozens of civilians and demolished residential areas. The Assad regimes continued slaughter of Syrian civilians further exposes its callous disregard for human life. She continued to state that Weve been clear that Assad long ago lost all legitimacy to govern and that the Syrian regime must be held responsible for its brutality and atrocities against the Syrian people. Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi responded by stating that the accusations are an attempt by the US State Department to push the world to disregard terrorism crimes through directing incorrect accusations against the Syrian State in the interest of those terrorist organizations. Al-Zoubi also pointed out that the U.S. government was obtaining all of its information from terrorist organizations like the Islamic State group and Jabhat al-Nusra, al Qaedas Syrian affiliate. While, on one level, Psaki and her discredited State Department are doing nothing more than repeating the tired claims of Assads crimes against humanity while themselves perpetrating crimes against humanity, there is also the question of the no-fly zone desired by Western NATO powers that has seemed to stall over recent months. An attempt to portray Assad as using his Air Force to slaughter innocent civilians thus also stands as another pathetic attempt to drum up support and justification for the implementation of such a zone over Syria. Make no mistake, while the plans to implement a no-fly zone may have lost some steam temporarily, NATO has not given up on its goal of turning Syria into Libya on much the same roadmap. Any palatable excuse will do and, in the absence of a proper excuse, the apathy of the general public will suffice.

3	State Dept Estimates Almost 2 Years for FOIA Answers on American Reporter Murdered in Syria WarBy Baran Hines Serena Shim was an American citizen and a reporter for Irans Press TV who spent 3 years investigating Turkeys role in the Syrian proxy war including aid to Al Qaeda groups and the Islamic State. She was killed on October 19, 2014 near the Turkey-Syria border while reporting on the battle of Kobani, which received significant coverage from international news organizations. Two days before her death, Shim reported live on Press TVs international broadcast that Turkish intelligence services, Mill stihbarat Tekilat (MT) accused her of being a spy, and they were tracking her to arrest her for questioning. Shim also reported that she was hiring a lawyer to represent her and that she intended to answer the intelligence agencys questions. Serena Shim also reported during the October 17 broadcast that she had evidence of Islamic State terrorists receiving help in the form of vehicles with the logo of the United Nations World Food Program, allowing the terrorists to cross the Turkey-Syria border without problems. On October 19, the Turkish government then reported she was killed in a car crash which has been called suspicious by both journalists and government officials. WTF NEWS Shim and Irish were taken to two different hospitals separated by more than 25 miles after the alleged accident. Shim was first reported dead at the scene but eventually was said to die of heart failure after a heart attack almost an hour later. Her family suspects she was taken to a secret military facility nearby before going to the hospital. Shim had published multiple reports on Turkish military not fighting Al Qaeda and ISIS groups, while in many cases, allowing the terrorists to operate border crossings with Syria which were used to transport weapons and fighters. In a 2013 report called Turkeys Pivotal Role in Syrias Insurgency, Shim revealed that terrorist groups even had their own passport stamp for border crossings they controlled. She also published evidence that Al Qaeda groups were using refugee camps on the Turkey-Syria border to smuggle weapons and give fighters a home base.

So very sad, but the WTF was she doing there, seriously? Exactly. Stay home and stay alive. Its ridiculous to go to those countries. Let them sort their own crap out without us. By reporting on the situation there and giving her life, what was achieved? I could never understand the mentality of men who do this sort of thing but the women like her are absolutely insane! Do they see themselves as Hemingwayesque adventurers or martyrs for the gods of journalism? Their psychiatrists dont even know! 
2	Hillary Clintons Lesbian Mistress Comes Forward And Drops Career Ending Bombshell For years now, rumors have circulated that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is a lesbian. Now, more questions are coming to the surface just in time for her potential run in the upcoming 2016 presidential election. The rumors began in 2004, when a Washington Times columnist reviewed that Hillary and Bill have had a pact for decades. Their sexy, sexy pact is this: He gets to fool around with women and she gets to fool around with women (plus the occasional man). In his book The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, And How Far Shell Go To Become President, Edward Klein made the claim that Hillary was much more interested in lesbianism as a political statement than a sexual practiceHillary talked about it a lot, read lesbian literature, and embraced it as a revolutionary concept. Klein, however, concluded that though Hillary had experimented with lesbianism, she was exactly bisexual. Throughout her time in the political spotlight, Hillary has also been accused of being lesbian lovers with Human Abedin, her top aide. Hillary addressed these rumors by claiming that, people will say what they want to say. Hillary has always, as far as I know back to college, endorsed and embraced all things lesbian and gay, that is her history on this so that shouldnt be took shocking, American Family Association radio host Sandy Rios told America in 2013. She has played the role of wife and cookie-making mother, Im sorry but this is just the reality of things. What do you think? Is Hillary Clinton bisexual? Would she lie to America about her true beliefs just as Obama has? 
1	Marking the latest and most ambitious attempt to bring stability to the region, the United Nations announced Wednesday that every single person in the Middle East will receive his or her own sovereign nation as part of a historic 317,000,000-state solution. The broad and extensive compromise, which affects more than 3,000,000 square miles formerly occupied by the territories of Israel, the West Bank, Gaza, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Oman, Yemen, Egypt, and Jordan, will reportedly draw over 750,000,000 new borders in what experts claim will help drastically curb sectarian violence. Given the incredibly complex and volatile sociopolitical landscape throughout the Middle East, a 317,000,000-state solution is the only realistic means of achieving lasting peace, said U.N. Security Council president Eugne-Richard Gasana, noting that the treaty was reached after lengthy negotiations, which brought together each of the more than 300,000,000 independent factions. We are pleased to finally come to an agreement that will hopefully stabilize the entire region and adequately satisfy the demands of all parties. We are confident that with every man, woman, and child possessing his or her own autonomous area of sovereignty to run as he or she sees fit, we will avoid many of the conflicts that have plagued this part of the world for centuries and left countless dead, Gasana added. This is a bright new future for the Middle East. According to U.N. officials, the newly demarcated Middle East now consists of 8,000,000 independent Jewish states, 4,000,000 independent Palestinian states, 112,000,000 Shiite Islamic republics, 156,000,000 Sunni Islamic republics, and 19,000,000 Kurdish nations, as well as approximately 18,000,000 territories that include various Christian, Bah', Druze, Zoroastrian, and secular countries. According to reports, the treaty has largely been met with support from locals, with many praising the division of the region into nearly a third of a billion sovereign states as a practical and desperately needed solution after decades of ceaseless sectarian fighting. Frankly, giving every Middle Eastern citizen a country of his or her own is long overdue, 49-year-old Naseer Khalidi told reporters from his newly formed 400-square-foot independent state along the former West Bank, which is adjacent to nations populated by his wife and two children. After such a long history of violence and discord, we now have a region that is fairly and evenly divided among all religious factions, ethnic groups, and individual inhabitants. Finally, we can all live without oppression. The resolution, however, has not been without various complications, with the U.N. now struggling to accommodate its 317,000,183 member states, and the global economy still reportedly has yet to incorporate each of the 317,000,000 entirely new forms of currency. Reports also confirmed that several hundred of the new states in what was formerly northeast Saudi Arabia contain highly valuable oil reserves within their borders, with top officials in those nations having already received a number of diplomatic visits from the U.S. and Western Europe, sparking tensions with their tens of thousands of neighboring countries. While this idea may work in theory, this is simply another shortsighted plan that will only further strain tensions in the region, said 54-year-old former Syrian resident Ilyas al-Masry, adding that there have already been some hints of unrest between each of the 246 sovereign states within a 5,000-foot radius of his country. How can we have stability and peace when more than 300,000,000 nations are inhabiting lands they have absolutely no right to occupy? As long as everyone respects my borders, there will be no issues, al-Masry added. But I am prepared to use force if there are any attempts to destabilize or infringe upon my nation. At press time, reports confirmed the outbreak of more than 90,000,000 new wars across the region, with sources estimating the current death toll at approximately 700,000. 
1	Area girlfriend Caroline Nagler remains in stable condition at White Plains Hospital today, resting in a medically induced coma after suffering an apparent overdose of scented lotion, sources confirm. Responding to a frantic 911 call from her boyfriend, emergency personnel said they rushed to Naglers residence around 10 p.m. last night and discovered the 26-year-old unconscious in her bed and surrounded by dozens of empty bottles of daily moisturizers, anti-wrinkle treatments, and hydrating balms, suggesting an acute level of lotion toxicity. When we arrived, Ms. Naglers blood-lotion level was 0.45. Thats four times the lethal limit, said emergency responder Anne Jones, noting that in addition to finding high levels of Olay and Jergens in her system, doctors also discovered traces of harder oils like ylang-ylang and jojoba. Her lips were extremely glossyglossier than Ive ever seen. It took us hours to stabilize her shea-soaked skin before we could even begin wiping off the many herbal extracts and replenishing creams, not to mention bath and shower gels.' Were guessing that by the time her boyfriend found her, she had been inhaling cocoa butter and eucalyptus fumes for over 45 minutes, Jones continued. One more Buf-Puf of jasmine serum and it would have been too late. Doctors said that after Nagler arrived at the hospitals trauma ward, it was a race against time to save the young womans life, with teams of nurses working around the clock to neutralize the accumulated layers of almond butters, Moroccan oils, essential fruit extracts, and age-defying exfoliants that had left her skin dangerously supple. After first treating her arms and legs to remove the thick coat of honeysuckle and whipped vanilla gloss, emergency room staff vigorously scrubbed Nagler's body with gauze to reduce the buildup of vitamin E and hibiscus. Next, the medical team used a high-powered pump to suction the ultra-hydrating lotions from her face and hands, areas that had been exposed to critical periods of long-lasting moisturization. According to friends, Naglers overdose was the result of being a habitual lotion user whose addiction had, as of late, spiraled out of control. Caroline didnt do this to herself on purposeshe just didnt know her limit, distraught boyfriend Eric Klein told investigators, recalling that Nagler would often come home covered in a layer of lavender salve without acknowledging that she glistened brightly or smelled heavily of morning dew. Its a wonder she hasnt had an overdose yet; its a full-on addiction. She hides the bottles everywhereunderneath the sink, in the back of cabinets. I once saw her pull a small bottle of it out of her purse. She couldnt go 20 minutes without it. It was only a matter of time before she started mixing lotions, Klein continued. Every morning it was a cocktail of prescription-strength aloe-vera, rosewater, sunscreen, Wrinkle Revenge cream, and who knows what else. Emergency room doctors say that as lotions become more fragrant, more flirty, and more expensive, hospitals will continue to see cases of women overdosing from the products. In the past week alone, local hospitals treated more than 20 local girlfriends with injuries similar to Naglers, according to records. The mistake so many women make is thinking they can slather on a layer of cedarwood foam, wait a few minutes, and then start rubbing on some shiny body butter, said emergency physician Dr. Thomas Nguyen, noting that his own girlfriend had a close call last week when she applied more than 80 doses of Jurlique balancing spray, or pillow mist as its known in street slang. The rule of thumb is to use a quarter-sized dollop of lotion, wait an hour, then use more if necessary. Oiling up too quickly vastly increases the risk of internal organ failure, or worse. If you think you have a problem, please seek help immediately, he continued. Your life is worth more than having silky-smooth skin, no matter how soft and luxurious it might feel.

3	Terrorists Wage War on Each Other in Syria; New Round Of Propaganda BeginsBrandon Turbeville Indeed, the death squad fratricide now taking place within Syria is slowly but surely being turned into a false narrative of moderate versus extremist in the death squad camp which will possibly be used to bring the propaganda full circle and provide a representation of some of the death squads as democracy-loving freedom fighters who only want freedom from an oppressive government a representation which couldnt be further from the truth. The divide between various death squad groups has been developing for some time. However, on September 25, a statement was released by the notorious al-Qaeda affiliated ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) declaring war and victory over a fellow terrorist division of the FSA (Free Syrian Army), Liwa Asifat al Shamal. The statement which can be seen in its original form as posted on Twitter was subsequently translated and posted to LiveLeak. In it, ISIS states that On Wednesday, we purified the land from what is called Liwa Asifat al Shamal, which God wanted to expose them in front of everyone. The group went on to list eight examples of their treason before and now. ISIS also stated that, Likewise, the al-Qaeda affiliated Jobhat al-Nusra recently announced their rejection of the SNC (Syrian National Coalition), the pathetic and weak governing structure set up by the Anglo-Americans to replace Assad and act as a puppet government. As Kurt Nimmo writes, Indeed, 13 salafist death squad groups said in a joint statement on September 24, that The National Coalition and the proposed government under [recently chosen] Ahmad Tomeh does not represent us, nor do we recognise it. The groups also stated that These forces call on all military and civilian groups to unite in a clear Islamic context that is based on sharia[Islamic] law, making it the sole source of legislation. In addition, the groups comically call for unity while also demanding that Islamic Sharia law be applied in Syria. Jobhat al-Nusra, of course, is not only at odds with the SNC and the FSA. Indeed, Nusra was recently involved in battles with ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant), yet another extremist death squad organization. On Saturday, September 21, Nusra and ISIL fought each other in Hasaka province, leaving at least two people dead. ISIL, in turn, has also had violent confrontations with the FSA. In addition, ISIL has declared war on two other death squad organizations in the town of al-Bab, located in the Aleppo governate. Yet, while the divisions between the terrorist organizations in Syria are both a positive sign for the Syrian people and an example of how such extremism can even prevent mutual and temporary cooperation amongst fellow jihadists, the news of the increasing inter-death squad fighting is also a possible propaganda tool that will later be picked up by raving warmongers like John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Susan Rice, and John Kerry. This is because, now that the allegedly moderate terrorists of the FSA are fighting the extremist terrorists of ISIS, the warmongers who have been dogged with the fact that they themselves are the largest supporters of terrorism on the planet, are now able to claim that the FSA are indeed the good guys and that moderates do exist amongst the Syrian rebels. Anyone who observes the Syrian situation on even a limited basis clearly understands that the so-called rebels are nothing more than extremists, psychopaths, and religious fundamentalists. Unfortunately for warmongers like McCain and Kerry, this fact has proven slightly inconvenient for their public relations department. However, with the recent divisions amongst the death squads which is nothing more than extremists attacking other extremists politicians and pundits gripped in a permanent war psychosis such as McCain and Kerry could possibly seize on this opportunity to claim solidarity between American interests and the FSA. After all, these warmongers might attempt to claim that the FSA is opposed to both Assad and al-Qaeda, thus the FSA represent a truly reasonable and suitable force worthy of the support of the American people. Obviously, this would be a gross misinterpretation of the facts on the ground if there ever was one. Yet, such propaganda is already being seen among Western media with NPR describing the Yarmouk Brigade as the moderate wing of the rebel movement. Of course, if Yarmouk is considered moderate, then one should be terrified of anything considered extreme. The Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade in May, 2013, managed to kidnap four Filipino UN troops and hold them for ransom. Reports coming out of The Spectator in May 2013 also revealed that Yarmouk Brigade was notorious for stealing and looting the Syrian people in the territories they conquered and that, as one former rebel stated, One Facebook post about what theyre doing will get you killed. These are the rebels that NPR and the rest of the mainstream media would have the American public believe are moderates and freedom fighters. In reality, the FSA and its fighters are anything but moderate. As Tony Cartalucci wrote in his article, In Syria, There Are No Moderates, Indeed, even the New York Times has been forced to admit that there are, as Cartalucci expertly argues in his article, no moderates in the ranks of the Syrian death squads. As Ben Hubbard writes, In the end, while one can scarcely argue that the breakup and division amongst the Syrian deaths squads is a negative development, we must be on guard for an abrupt shift in propaganda narratives, especially as popular support for military action against Syria is at its lowest point and the political rug has been pulled out from under the White House. The propaganda narratives surrounding Syria on the part of the Anglo-Americans has always been absurd and there is no reason to expect any abrupt change in this regard.

2	Michelle Obama Now Banning This Popular Food Item As of recent, schools around the country have either been dropping or refusing to implement Michelle Obamas programs for school lunches. Recently, the second largest school district in Illinois decided to opt out of the program, after once again the students were refusing to eat their meals. The district joins nearly 1 million students, who have dropped out of the program in protest. In response, Michelle has vowed to fight until the bitter end in defenses of her regulations, and has started to make videos with sharp statements to those who oppose her rules and program. Perhaps the biggest source of frustration with the program lands on policies around snack foods. According to the federal regulations, snack foods must be at least 50% whole grain, low sugar, fat, and sodium, and less than 200 calories. We invite you to look in your pantry now. Find anything you want to eat? We didnt either. In addition to raised costs, the bans have also resulted in the loss of activities like bake sales, designed to raise money for the school. This leaves the district even more strapped for cash. Its clear that many are beginning to feel that the First Lady has taken things too far. I think weve gone too far, too fast, Diane Zipay, Director of Nutritional Service in Omaha, Nebraska told reporters. And I dont think its a real-world environment. We might have changed the school but we havent changed the child or our world. Now, people are wondering if the USDA even has the power to implement Michelles programs. According to the law, they should only be enforcing Congressional legislation. What do you think? Does Michelle need to back off? 
1	Financial services giant Visa held a press event Tuesday to introduce 'Visa Voice,' a new line of talking credit cards that urges shoppers to just go ahead and buy it if that's what they really want. 'Whenever you're near an item you're hesitant to purchase, Visa Voice offers words of encouragement, such as 'Come on, just go for it!' and 'Trust meyou're not gonna regret this,'' Visa president John Partridge said of the groundbreaking new payment product, which allows users to select between a calm, supportive female voice and a morally authoritative male voice. 'If you're still not convinced after 30 seconds, the card will begin whispering, 'You know you want it,' and repeat the phrase a bit louder each time until cardholders have received the verbal reassurance needed to just say, 'Fuck itI'm getting this.'' Partridge added that if customers exceed their credit limit, the card falls silent and quickly changes the subject. 
2	Black Cashier Makes Sickening Move Towards Cop... DISGUSTING If you want a picture into the disrespect our nations law enforcement is facing each day, just take a look at what happened to this officer when he approached the register at a local Walmart in St. Cloud, Florida. The officer was refused servicewith the cashier insisting she would not ring him up. The rude employee pointed to her skin coloras if that were a justified excuse for her actions. Another cashier saw the incident taking place and started laughing. Fortunately, Walmart took a stand against their ignorant employees. The St. Cloud police department lodged a formal complaint with the 13th Street Walmart. Central Florida news outlet WFTV first reported on the incidentwhich was later confirmed by the superstore. Many local residents were outraged at the story and took to social media to demand a statement from the company. This is an unfortunate situation, but we cannot comment on an active HR investigation, Walmarts corporate office told local reporters. They later reached out to the St. Cloud police department for a meeting. We take these things seriously and do not tolerate discrimination of any kind in our stores, Walmart commented in a second statement. We value the relationships we have with law enforcement agencies throughout the country and weve met with the St. Cloud Police Department to address their concerns. We want everyone to be treated with respect whether they are in our stores or anywhere in the community. The cashier who was involved in this situation no longer works in our store. What do you think of this incident? Do you applaud Walmart for doing the right thing and dumping this disrespectful employee? 
1	Inside the Montessori School of Dentistry, you won't find any old-fashioned cotton swabs, or so-called periodontal charts, or even any amalgam fillings. That's because at this alternative-learning institution, students are being encouraged to break away from medical tradition and discover their very own root canal procedures. 'At Montessori, we believe dentistry is more than just the medical practice of treating tooth and gum disorders,' school director Dr. Howard Bundt told reporters Tuesday. 'It's about fostering creativity. It's about promoting self-expression and individuality. It's about looking at a decayed and rotten nerve pulp and drawing your own unique conclusions.' 'In fact, here at Montessori, dentistry is whatever our students want it to be,' Bundt continued. Founded in 1981, and tailored after the teaching methods first developed by Italian-born educator Maria Montessori, the three-year academy offers a fresh and innovative approach to learning seldom found at more conventional schools of dentistry. Teachersor 'roving dental facilitators,' as they prefer to be calledcan be difficult to spot: They often choose to stay out of the way of their inquisitive pupils, and only make gentle suggestions as to how an infected root chamber should be drained. 'When performing a root canal, there's no such thing as right or wrong,' said Montessori educator Vanessa Perrin, who added that she doesn't so much teach her students how to treat an inflamed nerve, as lead them to an open mouth and then stand back. 'Sure, we could say to our students, 'The enamel here has completely eroded and needs to be addressed immediately.' But what's more satisfying, what's more dynamic, is to just let them slowly develop an 'impression' of why a patient might be screaming.' 'We try to encourage our students to work with their patients in order to determine a successful course of action,' Perrin added. 'That's one of the many reasons why we don't believe in using any anesthesia during surgical procedures.' According to administrators, the Montessori School of Dentistry strives to present an alternative to the dogmatic structure of other schools. In addition to being able to set their own curriculum, students at the private institution can take a break during long and involved operations if they grow bored or feel uninspired. The confining and antiseptic atmosphere of tradition is absent even from the classrooms themselves, relaxing environments that are sometimes filled with comfortable, overstuffed sofas rather than dentist chairs. 'If a student is installing a crown, and feels midway through as though he or she would benefit more from, say, seeing where a tooth implant might lead, they can do that here,' said Montessori professor Donald Scheneke, who told reporters that he sees the dentist office as a place for exploration and expression, not rules. 'In here, there's no such thing as 'absentmindedly drilling through to the lower gum' or 'mistakenly pulling out the wrong maxillary lateral incisor.' I can't tell you the number of times I've seen people give up on the entire dentistry profession just because they were terrible at filling cavities.' Recent graduates from the small, independent school agree. 'Thanks to my professors at Montessori, I feel like I can handle any professional challenge that comes my way,' Dr. David Greenblatt, DDS, said as a syringe filled with Novocaine dripped slowly into the back of a patient's throat and down into his lungs. 'Or, at the very least, accept that it's not the end of the world if I can't.'

1	In a surprising casting decision that has drawn criticism from numerous members of local community theater The Old Mill Players, sources confirmed Wednesday that the role of Blanche DuBois in the companys upcoming production of Tennessee Williams A Streetcar Named Desire has been given to none other than Kathy fucking Hamilton. Reports indicated that, yes, you heard that correctly: The 41-year-old real estate agent and mother of three has, for some insane reason, been selected to portray what is, hands down, the 2014 seasons most challenging dramatic role. Thats right, accounts confirmed, were all supposed to sit back and believe that the woman whose past credits include Myrtle Mae Simmons in Harvey, Aunt Eller in Oklahoma!, and a handful of other bit parts is now poised to emerge from the wings and bear the full weight of the summer calendars most highly anticipated production, as if thats not going to take some kind of goddamn miracle. I mean, Jesus, sources added. When I heard they picked Kathy, I immediately thought, Youve got to be kidding me, said Old Mill set designer Ron Aiken, 51, who noted that while Hamilton is a serviceable ensemble member, director Gary Wheeler has completely lost his senses if he thinks she has what it takes to do justice to one of American theatres most iconic and complex heroines. Could I see her as Eunice? Sure, why not? Kathy projects her voice, shes passable in character roles, shes got Stellas boozy upstairs neighbor written all over her. But Blanche? An aging Southern belle whose refined air masks a fragile, desperate inner self? Come on, dont make me laugh. This is the same woman who flubs every other line and can never figure out what to do with her hands in any given scene, and you expect me to believe that she can carry a three-act? Aiken continued. Id pay good money to see that, but Im not holding my breath. Having beaten out seasoned Old Mill heavyweights Joanne Ludlow, Grace Pliner, and Joyce Pahr for the coveted spot, sources expressed their continued astonishment that Hamilton managed to walk away from last weeks casting call with anything more than a three-line role, let alone top fucking billing. Specifically, reports indicate that Hamilton simply doesnt have the chops to handle a part like this, especially given her demonstrated difficulty getting her blocking down, her tendency to jump her cues, and, most crucially, the fact that her loud, maudlin overacting would make Tennessee Williams roll over in his goddamn grave. Furthermore, Old Mill insiders speculated that Hamilton must have blown that audition out of the water, which is difficult to believe if you saw her chewing the scenery in Our Town last fall, a train wreck of a production that should have taught Gary once and for all that you dont hand out marquee roles to supporting-cast talent. Sources went on to add that if theyre being totally honest, Hamilton doesnt exactly fit the characters body type either. Can you honestly picture Kathy sharing the stage with Rick [Lesser]? said Old Mill ensemble member Linda Cohen, 47, clarifying that Hamilton isnt necessarily unattractive, but that at a big-boned 59, she doesnt exactly present the unique mixture of Dixie elegance and delicate vulnerability that ticket holders will expect to see come opening night. Just look at the two of themtheres no chemistry there. Plus, the audience has to believe that Blanche is physically intimidated by Stanley, which just isnt going to work when you have Kathy Hamilton plodding around up there. No offense, but no ones throwing her across the room any time soon. Im sorry, but she just isnt going to be able to sell this one, Cohen added. Listen, if I wanted unconventional casting choices, Id go to Theater With A Twist. Emphasizing that this is Streetcar, for Christs sake, numerous Old Mill ensemble members acknowledged that Hamilton had in the past showed promise in Cabaret and Hello, Dolly!, but noted that the actresss singing and dancing abilities would not be called upon in her latest role because last time sources checked, there are no musical numbers in Streetcar. Moreover, several players questioned just what Hamilton thinks shes doing tackling Southern Gothic in the first place. Although, according to reports, if youre going to throw Kathy Hamilton up there you might as well turn the poker scene into a big glitzy dance number, because God knows choreographys the one thing shes halfway decent at. Hell, sources added, why not have her serenade Mitch after their date while shes at it? Unbelievable, sources repeated. Fucking unbelievable. Here we goits Picnic all over again, Aiken said, referring to last springs debacle in which Marsha Horowitz singlehandedly scuttled a production of the William Inge drama when she was miscast as Miss Rosemary. Marsha wasnt even the lead, but she dragged down that whole production anywayand she actually had some talent. Now weve got Kathy Hamilton ready to do the same thing to Streetcar in just eight weeks. Look, Kathy is an okay actress, but shes kidding herself if she thinks shes spotlight material, Aiken continued. If I were her, I would gracefully drop out of this one and start gearing up for the Chicago auditions, but we all know thats not happening. God, what a disaster. At press time, sources noted that they sure as shit werent looking forward to seeing what Peekskill Daily Voice arts writer Roger Quinn would have to say about this one. 
3	Chemtrails Are Happening All Over The World According to Former British Columbia PremierArjun Walia Bill is well aware that programs beyond the control of government is a reality. Governments are deliberately kept in the dark on projects conducted by defense intelligence agencies and many of these agencies hire private contractors and corporations to assist them. Because they hire private contractors, there is absolutely no oversight from Congress. The CIA and NASA are now backing the National Academy of Sciences in regards to Geoengineering projects(0)(5). Geoengineering projects are any attempt to alter the way the planet or its weather systems operate. Its a response to what has been labelled as the global warming phenomenon. It is complete climate control and the manipulation of it (1)(2)(3)(4). Geoengineering might soon be labelled under national security, in which case techniques and methods used will be kept classified without the public knowing what is transpiring. Geoengineering has been a topic of interest for multiple universities across the planet. Theyve even started to develop specific programs for geoengineering, like Oxford University recently did(6). As mentioned earlier, the fact that the CIA is now involved means that all geoengineering techniques could be kept classified. This is a disturbing thought. One of the proposed techniques for combating global warming is spraying light-reflecting aerosols into the atmosphere. Here are some words from the Former premiere, Bill Vander Zalm, who is extremely concerned about geoengineering projects taking place without the public knowing. I believe its been going on for sometime, but to what extent and how much the government knows about it, I dont know. Chemtrails are happening all over the world, just exactly whos engineering all of this I dont know and thats exactly what im trying to find out. Governments do things without asking, and we find out about it when its too late. If they dont give me the information, then Ill take it further. The Aluminium and Barium is very light, it stays in the air and they say it reflects the sunlight back into space, they say they are hoping to combat global warming with it. Unlike contrails, chemtrails spread and stay in the air for a very long time. What goes up comes down, if we inhale the stuff, perhaps thats why we have so many problems with alzheimers, autism and MS. I have asked municipalities to pass a resolution that if there is any program geared toward climate change, and if anything is sprayed in the air it is done with public consent. Somebody needs to be out there speaking out about these things(7) What is he hinting at? These are pretty alarming statements given the reputation of this man. Does he know more? Im glad to see more and more people with a voice in the mainstream world speaking up. This is alarming, because at the same time multiple scientists all over the planet seem to agree that what we label as man-made global warming is in fact not as well understood as we think it is. The founder of the weather channel strongly agrees thatman-made global warming isnt real. Scientists have even suggested that global warming has stopped and planetary temperatures have actually been cooling. From my research, Ive personally concluded that temperature changes are a result of the natural cyclical nature of planet Earth. I do believe pollution is a great cause for concern, that it impacts health and damages our environment and its critical systems. However, I do not believe that it is connected to warming the planet. I believe that global warming is another crisis manufactured in order to propose a solution that fits an agenda the elite have been playing out for years. The problem has been labeled as global warming, and the proposed solution is geoengineering. Some corporations and elitist groups thrive of off planetary conflict. There has been a lot of evidence to suggest that many world events and causes for concern are created by the elite, so they can then propose the solution. One example (out of many) was 9/11; create a false flag terrorist attack in order to justify the invasion of Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries, even though they were not involved with anything having to do with 9/11. Could global warming be another problem proposed by elitist groups in order to propose the solution of geoengineering? Could this link to chemtrails? What is the real agenda behind chemtrails? I highly recommend these two videos if you would like to look further into the phenomenon: What in the World are They Spraying? Why in the World are They Spraying?

I used to think that chemtrails were sprayed in order to the gentech-seeds of Monsanto (gmos). So there will be a time that farmers can only use those seeds becaurse the original seeds wont grow in the poisened earth. People have no choise to eat something else. Third generation of laboratory animals fed with GM food had become infertile. Much later I learned chemtrails has something to do with weather modification, which suprised me at the time. Now I understand that the true reasons of spraying is notknown.This is worst of all possible reasons, I think.

It did appear, at that time, that the hospital was not backing down. Even though reports said law enforcement and child protective services werent on the search, those parties had been out at the Hershbergers residence throughout the past few months. The Hershberger family had been through a medical nightmare this Summer and Fall that began when Andy and Annas 10-year-old daughter Sarah received chemo for leukemia, unwittingly a part of a secret research experiment. After the experimental chemo made her too ill to function, the parents opted for natural protocols with the support of two court rulings. Thats when the big guns rolled out with another judge ruling forced chemo and assigning Ms. Maria Schimer as hospital guardian. They were basing their appeals on an obscure Ohio mandate regarding child abuse. Sarah made acomplete recovery in October using the natural treatment, yet the hospital kept up the smear campaign and did not appear to let go of the mandate. So the Hershbergers stayed out of the country until recently and when they returned they still avoided their home even though theyve been separated from their other children this whole time. They report: We made it clear to our opponents that they were in for a protracted battle over fundamental principles and constitutional rights; and that on each, they were on the wrong side, said Maurice Thompson, Executive Director of the 1851 Center. When announcing their representation of the Hershbergers in November, they cited Ohio Constitutional amendments and Supreme Court cases in support of recognizing the parents authority and releasing the family from forced medical treatment. Donations for Sarahs health fund do not go to hospital bills or legal fees. They are to help her stay naturally healthy and to help the family with their return.

The group claims that if the University has not met their demands in seven days, they will resort to physical violence. Of course, the list of demands ends with this threat from Senior Shayla Scales: Without action, alternatively, we will be forced to engage as an entire community in ways to implement the changes we request. We will allow the university seven days to end negotiations and come to conclusions on our seven demands. If negotiations are not complete we will be forced to do more, beginning to increase valiantly our activism for social progress and take physical actions on the University of Michigans campus. What do you think of the demands? 
2	Staffer Losing Her Job Over What She Said About Obamas Daughters Elizabeth Lauten, a previous media director for the Republican National Committee got herself in a lot of trouble earlier this week, when she bashed First Daughters Malia and Sasha Obama on Facebook. Lauten decided to go on a rant on social media criticizing Obamas 16-year-old and 13-year-old daughters. Right after Barack Obamas annual turkey pardoning, for their attire and conduct. Dear Sasha and Malia, she wrote I get youre both in those awful teen years, but youre a part of the First Family, try showing a little class. At least respect the part you play. Writing act like being in the White House matters to you Adding the girls should dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar. After continuous requests for Lauten to be fired, on Saturday she issued an apology stating after many hours of prayer, talking to my parents, and re-reading my words online I can see more clearly just how hurtful my words were adding judgmental feelings truly have no place in my heart. It is unclear how these events will affect her career, and if people will truly forgive Lauten for her judgmental post. 
2	JK Rowling Supports Muslims In An ABSOLUTELY Sickening Way Author J.K. Rowling made headlines after publicly shaming News of the Worlds Rupert Murdoch for his tweets about Muslims following the terrorist attacks at Charlie Hebdo. Maybe most Moslems peaceful, but until they recognize and destroy their growing jihadist cancer they must be held responsible, Murdoch wrote on his account. Big jihadist danger looming everywhere from Philippines to Africa to Europe to U.S. Political correctness makes for denial and hypocrisy. I was born Christian, the Harry Potter author responded. If that makes Rupert Murdoch my responsibility, Ill auto-excommunicate. Rowlings tweet was met with both support and criticism. She also reached out to several people supporting Murdoch, with references to Harry Potter. Dumbledore wouldnt have been a Muslim terror apologist just saying #darktimeslayaheadharry, Rowling tweeted. What do you think of the authors comments? 
3	Only Audit the Military Has Passed in 20 Years Was Exposed As FraudulentBy Carey Wedler According to Reuters, the military has never passed an audit due to a toxic mix of outdated accounting methods, bureaucracy, and excessive waste. Perhaps that is why the company hired the auditing firm, Grant Thornton, to investigate their finances: the partner overseeing the Marine Corps audit, Tracey Greene, had worked with Daniel Blairthe DoDs Deputy Inspector Generalat the Government Accountability Office throughout the 1990s (Grant Thornton had already been suspected of sub-par quality audits with the Navy before receiving the Marine Corps commission). According to a DoD Inspector General spokeswoman, the Inspector Generals Office of Professional Responsibility looked into this possible conflict of interest in 2013. It found there was none and the contract between the DoD, and Grant Thornton was actually extended. The audit was declared clean, only to be retracted in March of this year. The degree of negligence in the 2013 audit was so severe that Grant Thornton cleared expenses and transactions without so much as requesting the pertinent receipts or documentation. When Cecilia Ball, who worked at the Inspector Generals office, was hired to review Grant Thorntons work, she raised concerns about the integrity of the audit. At the end of December 2013, she presented her skepticism of the report to her superior, Edward Blair (no relation to Daniel Blair). Nevertheless, Daniel Blair urged acceptance of the Grant Thornton audit, claiming: The level of documentation in GTs work papers could be better. Some may even interpret this as a violation of audit standards. In spite of this admission, he argued that the amount of documentation needed was not fixed but rather, a matter of professional judgment. Edward Blair pushed back, arguing that The bottom line is GT did not adequately document or support their conclusion (about the Marine Corps). Ball pushed Daniel Blairs office for more evidence to support Grant Thorntons conclusion. She never received it, so when she heard that the audit was officially cleared in December of 2013, she asked to be reassigned. By October of 2014, the Inspector Generals quality control chief, Ashton Coleman Jr., raised doubts about the accuracy of the report in an analysis commissioned by Jon Rymer, the DoDs chief inspector general. As Reuters summarized, Without naming names, Coleman found that senior management at the inspector generals office had improperly shared confidential audit-related documents with Grant Thornton. Reuters further detailed that The Coleman report said Grant Thornton used the work papers to improperly pressure the inspector generals team to alter the audit documents to reflect the firms conclusions. Coleman said in the report that this could be perceived as exerting undue influence on the audit team, which could lead a third party to conclude that there is an impairment of independence. Though Rymer declined to be interviewed for the article, he said in an email statement that With nearly 100 auditors from the OIG and Grant Thornton participating, it is not surprising there were disagreements. He said he saw nothing that convinced [him] that there was an improper or inappropriate impairment of independence by those involved. The statement came in spite of the fact that the Inspector Generals office declared in March that it retracted its seal of approval on the Grant Thornton report because of new information that cast doubt on the reliability of the audit. In spite of state claims that no misconduct occurred in the audit, past behavior of the military shows there is a strong tendency of the government to waste and misallocate resources. It has lost hundreds of millions of dollars worth of equipment, had it destroyed, used astronomical sums of money on Viagra, spent taxpayer dollars on gambling and escorts, and just this month went $370 million over budget for a single aircraft carrier. It is no surprise that the military is unable to prove its accountability to taxpayers. Unfortunately, the revelations about Grant Thornton and the Marine Corps are yet another example of government shirking responsibility by relying on questionable conflicts of interest and deception.

2	Republican Controlled Senate Just Did Something Pissing Off Muslims Everywhere Recently, Alabama voters had to decide on a weighty decision: whether or not they would leave the open door to one day facing a foreign code of laws. Alabama voters made the decision to amend their Constitution to ban the consideration of foreign codes of law in American court rooms. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) told their Facebook community to denounce the amendment, calling it virulently racist and motivated by outright hostility towards Muslims. The amendment reads as follows: Called: The American and Alabama Laws for Alabama Courts Amendments Amendment 1 relates to the application of foreign law during the legal process involving an Alabama citizen. Foreign laws 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. That doesnt sound racist to us. What do you think? Did the voters of Alabama make the right choice in protecting themselves against Sharia Law, or any other foreign set of laws, within the state? 
1	Seeking to quicken the games pace by not cuddling up before every snap, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers confirmed that his team plans to run a no-cuddle offense on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Its true the cuddle gets everyone on the same page and makes them feel safe and warm, but it takes quite a long time, said Rodgers, explaining that cuddling is more useful in hostile away stadiums where players often become scared or upset. You also have to remember that when we cuddle, the defense gets a cuddle of its own where they get to snuggle up, catch their breath, and give each other affectionate kisses on the neck. Going no-cuddle puts them on their heels instead. Rodgers then added that he would still make an effort to give his running backs and receivers plenty of reassuring touches throughout the game. 
2	Laura Bush Was Near Death, But With The Help Of God She Survived This Horrific Tragedy Laura Bush reshaped the entire role of the first lady. She was a trendsetter with education, and she was extremely dedicated to spreading knowledge across the nation. She was the perfect wife to George, and will continue that until the day she dies. Laura has openly come out and said despite the hardships that they have been through, she will stick by Georges side forever. Laura Bush suffered a horrible tragedy in 1963. She was just 17 years old when she was put into the hospital after a horrific car crash that killed the other driver. Just two days after her 17th birthday she ran stop sign and t-boned another vehicle. The driver of the other car was Michael Douglas, a fellow student at SMU. Michael was killed on impact, but Laura was rushed to the hospital. Laura was in critical condition for two days, but then became stable. Her entire family began to pray for a quick recovery, and God answered. Laura was given her life back, but the tragedy changed her forever. It made her more thoughtful, and allowed her to realize how fragile life really is. Laura became one of the best first ladies ever, and she is an amazing woman. Do you love Laura?

'This place sucks. We have to share lockers, and the latches on the bathroom stalls don't work so you have to hold the door shut,' said Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), adding that the House majority locker room has nice carpeting, leather furniture, places to hang their suits, and a Jacuzzi. 'Plus, the floors are always wet, and it smells like piss. Who's pissing everywhere?' House Democrats also reported finding a dirty pair of Champion shorts belonging to Rep.

2	Muslims Pissed After Woman Covers Koran In Bacon And Burned It [VIDEO] Recently, an American woman named Ann Barnhardt spurred instant controversy when she posted a video of herself burning the Koran. In the video, Barnhardt begins to read certain passages of an Arabic Koran, which she has bookmarked with bacon. After reading each passage, she proceeds to rip each page out of the book and burn it individually. Allah is an evil son of a bi***, so he can go to tell, Barnhardt says just a few minutes into the video. Allahs true identity is Satan. Barnhardt concludes the video by lighting the entire book on fire and saying: Backing down is not what Christianity is aboutYou can come after me boys, you can come after me. I have no problem laying down my life for my fellow Americans, my fellow human beings, and for the church. The video received international views, and Muslims around the word instantly started speaking out against Barnhart. Now, Barnhardt is a vulnerable target for ISIS and other Islamic extremist groups. Even those in support of Barnhardts general message feel that she may have gone too far. What do you think of Barnhardts video? Watch the video below and tell us your opinion! 
3	Russia Grants Snowden One-Year AsylumStephen Lendman Putin was clear and unequivocal. He wont extradite him. No treaty obligation exists. Official requests dont matter. Snowdens initial ordeal ended. A greater one awaits. Hes able to travel freely. On August 1, Itar Tass headlined Edward Snowden gets asylum and leaves Sheremetyevo transit zone, saying: Hes formally in Russias territory. Earlier, a source close to the matter reported this information explaining that the customs officers received the required papers from Federal Migration Service giving Snowden the right to stay in Russia. He added that the former CIA employee currently has all the necessary documents to legally stay in Russia. He cannot be deported to the United States, even if the country makes an official request, a source in the Russian law enforcement agencies told Itar-Tass on Thursday. The granting of temporary asylum protects Snowden from deportation, because under the law a person, who was granted temporary asylum, cannot be returned against his will to the country, a citizen of which he is, or to the place of his permanent residence. On August 1, Russia Today headlined Snowden granted 1-year asylum in Russia, leaves airport. His legal representative, Anatoly Kucherena said: I have just handed over to him papers from the Russian Immigration Service. They are what he needs to leave the transit zone. I have just seen him off. He has left for a secure location. Security is a very serious matter for him. Kucherena told Reuters: He is the most wanted man on planet Earth. What do you think he is going to do? He has to think about his personal security. I cannot tell you where he is going. I put him in a taxi 15 to 20 minutes ago and gave him his certificate on getting refugee status in the Russian Federation. He can live wherever he wants in Russia. Its his personal choice. He left accompanied by WikiLeaks representative Sarah Harrison. She twittered saying: We would like to thank the Russian people and all those others who have helped to protect Mr. Snowden. We have won the battle now the war. Hes granted temporary asylum through at least through July 31, 2014. He can extend it annually on request. Doing so lets him stay in Russia permanently. He can make a new life there if he chooses. Hes got plenty of time to decide. He wont be sent back to America. At 15:30 Moscow time (11:30 GMT), he left Sheremetyevo Airport transit zone limbo. According to Kucherena, his locations secret. It wont be made public. He is the most wanted person on earth and his security will be a priority, he said. He will deal with personal security issues and lodging himself. I will just consult him as his lawyer. Hes Americas public enemy number one. Safetys his main concern. Hes got good reason to worry. Hes a wanted man. He knows how NSA operates. He knows the system. Itll try every way to monitor him. Hell do his best to stay out of its dragnet. Whether he succeeds remains to be seen. Washington has human intelligence everywhere. CIA agents infest Russia. Theyll search him out. Theyll learn where hes staying. Theyll monitor his every move. Theyll likely watch but not touch. At least for now. What happens later remains to be seen. Snowden acted responsibly. He connected important dots for millions. He exposed lawless NSA spying. He did so courageously. He sacrificed financial security and personal safety. He did so saying: You cant come up against the worlds most powerful intelligence agencies and not accept the risk. I understand that I will be made to suffer for my actions, and that the return of this information to the public marks my end. Theres no saving me. The only thing I fear is the harmful effects on my family, who I wont be able to help any more. Thats what keeps me up at night. He doesnt expect to see home again. Returning assures arrest, harsh treatment, prosecution, police state injustice, and longterm hard time. At the same time, he acted out of high ethical and moral principles. I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded, he said. That is not something I am willing to support or live under. I dont want to live in a world where theres no privacy, and therefore no room for intellectual exploration and creativity. I have no intention of hiding who I am because I know I have done nothing wrong. I had been looking for leaders, but I realized that leadership is about being the first to act. There are more important things than money. If I were motivated by money, I could have sold these documents to any number of countries and gotten very rich. The great fear that I have regarding the outcome for America of these disclosures is that nothing will change. People wont be willing to take the risks necessary to stand up and fight to change things. And in the months ahead, the years ahead, its only going to get worse. Snowdens currently in seclusion. Eventually hell talk to the press. He needs quiet time to decompress, settle in, and decide whats next. He need permanent quarters, work, and a new life. He needs to learn a new language and customs. He needs trusted associates. He needs protection. Americas long arm wont rest. As long as hes free, hes a wanted man. He understands. He took the risk. He acted responsibly. Doing the right thing is its own reward. Millions thank him for it. How his status affects US-Russia relations remains to be seen. Theyre less than cordial. Theyll unlikely deteriorate further. Greater major issues remain unresolved. Snowdens minor by comparison. Hes a thorn, nonetheless, in bilateral relations.

3	All-Time Darwin Award: The Nuclear IndustryRady Ananda When Ike okayed nuclear power, they screwed the pooch, says political cartoonist Mike DiBari. Ikes military-industrial complex wrote our death sentence when the US authorized the development of nuclear energy: humanity will not survive this technology, nor will most other species. In 2000 alone, civilian reactors produced enough plutonium to make more than 34,000 nuclear bombs, writes Smith. [1] This is what the nuclear energy industry is about producing plutonium, tritium and other ingredients for nuclear bombs. [2] One isotope of plutonium has a half-life of 24,000 years. Thats twice as long as the latest interglacial in which Homo sapiens developed agriculture, and thus modern civilization. Another P-239 has a 250,000-year half-life. Thats longer than Homo sapiens has been around. But then we have uranium-238 with a 4.5 billion-year half-life, the lifespan of Planet Earth. Tritium has a half life of 12 years; strontium 29 years, cesium 30 years, and on for the hundreds of hot particles (radioactive isotopes) created by fission. They can split atoms but cant put Humpty back together again. Low-Level Radiation Weakens, Sickens and Mutates the Biosphere Nuke heads would have us believe that low-level radiation is harmless. Smith cites several media headlines and official reports asserting just that, despite thousands of studies refuting it. Gayle Greene, author of Alice Stewart and the Secrets of Radiation, notes: Nuclear proponents cite background radiation to argue that low-dose radiation is relatively harmless, asserting that were daily exposed to background radiation and survive. But this argument misses the fact that background radiation is from an external source and so is a more finite exposure than radioactive substances ingested or inhaled, which go on irradiating tissues, giving very high doses to small volumes of cells, as Helen Caldicott says. [4] In fact, radiation causes three types of damage. We all know about the burn from direct, physical impact. In addition to those immediately killed when the Fukushima disaster unfolded, a year later researchers Joseph Mangano and Janette Sherman reported excess deaths in the US from the Fukushima fallout as high as 22,000 most of them children under one year of age. [5] Fukushimas hot wind that blew east was found not only in California produce but also in Vermonts bovine milk. Nuclear expert Arnie Gunderson estimated that for every ten hot particles being inhaled by the average Tokyo resident, six were being inhaled by the average Seattle resident. [6] Radioactive waste and fallout generated by the creation and use of nuclear energy is killing and altering humans and other life forms, and this radiation will be here long after primates sigh their last breath. In the Foreword to Nuclear Roulette, Jerry Mander and Ernest Callenbach call the propaganda that nuclear waste can be safely sequestered for 250,000 years an assertion bordering on the insane. Nuclear energys poison is eternal, and humans have only been around for 150-200,000 years were not likely to be around another 250K to watch over our radioactive waste. To promote such energy is madness as mad as the government of an island subject to volcanoes and tsunamis deciding to build dozens of nuclear power plants. Low-level radiation can and does kill us. One study Smith cites uses data from the National Cancer Institute and the Centers for Disease Control which shows that two-thirds of all breast cancer occurred among those who live within 100 miles of US nuclear plants. [8] Greene describes a German study which reports that children who lived less than 5 km from a plant were more than twice as likely to develop leukemia as children who lived more than 5 km away. Joseph Mangano showed that the highest cluster of thyroid cancer in the US occurs in a 90-mile radius of 16 nuclear reactors. [9] In fact, thousands of studies over the past 60 years show harm from radiation. Not only do cancer rates increase, but the entire organism is compromised as seen by the high rates of congenital birth defects, compromised immune systems, rapid aging and organ failure among those populations near nuclear blasts and plants. Dr. Wertelecki extensively studied the effects of radiation released by the 1986 Chernobyl meltdown, focusing on birth defects instead of cancer. He found increased rates of congenital birth defects like spina bifida (malformed spinal cord), conjoined twins, and microcephaly (reduced head size). [10] The region where most of these birth defects appear, Polissia in Rivne Province, Ukraine, hosts a unique ethnic group which has continuously occupied the land for thousands of years. They rely completely on wild and locally-produced foods, all of which are radioactive, reports Wertelecki. Because the soils happen to be humus-poor, he told Dr. Helen Caldicott in a recent interview, plants absorb about 20 times as much radiation as the same plants growing, lets say, 50 miles away where the soils are richer in humus and other minerals. [7] These Ukrainians have been ingesting radioactive food, air and water for the past 26 years, and their children show it in the marked increase of birth defects and general failure to thrive. Wertelecki showed not only mutagenic effects passed on generationally, but also teratogenic effects even three generations later. In other words, Chernobyl fallout is still causing birth defects in an otherwise normal, healthy fetus. We can expect the same health consequences in Japan and in the US where most of the Fukushima radiation has settled. Werteleckis findings comport with what Alexey Yablokov, et al. reported in their landmark 2009 book, Chernobyl: Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment. Not only did these researchers find that nearly a million people died from that single nuclear reactor explosion (not the mere 4,000 claimed by the World Health Organization), but they also find increased general morbidity, impairment and disability, as well as accelerated aging and nonmalignant diseases among todays population. [11] Global Research notes that While Chernobyl was an enormous unprecedented disaster, it only occurred at one reactor and rapidly melted down. Once cooled, it was able to be covered with a concrete sarcophagus This is not so with Fukushima where three reactors fully melted down and a fourth was severely damaged. [12] Chernobyls single reactor meltdown 26 years ago continues contaminating the northern hemisphere today with radiation, and the situation continues to worsen. Chernobyl radioactive contamination has adversely affected all biological as well as nonliving components of the environment: the atmosphere, surface and ground waters, and soil. Yablokov concluded that the public and environmental health consequences from Chernobyl are only increasing, not decreasing in severity. [13] Dr Helen Caldicott explains this is due to biomagnification that process whereby poisons accumulate up the food chain. [14] Human Insanity a Darwinian Failure I have become Death, the destroyer of worlds. Robert Oppenheimer, quoting the Bhagavad Gt, on witnessing the first atomic bomb test, 1945 [15] Which brings us to the Darwin Awards, where humans applaud those who remove themselves from our gene pool, saving the rest of us from their stupidity. Only this time, those brilliant scientists who split the atom are taking out humanity, and most other life forms on Planet Earth. The development of nuclear technology is a true Darwinian failure our weakest link, our suicidally destructive genes. And they, or their progeny, or that portion of humanity promoting nuclear power, still contribute to our gene pool, to our collective demise, to the planets 6th Great Extinction. What amazes me most about the Manhattan Project is that before that first atomic test, Oppenheimer admits that they did not know if the sky would ignite and destroy the biosphere, but they went ahead and exploded the bomb anyway. [16] Its one thing to climb inside a barrel to see if you can survive the drop at Niagara Falls, because youre only risking your own life and, if you do die, you help humanity by removing your suicide genes from the genome. What Oppenheimer and the US government did was risk not only all of humanity, but the entire planet. And those sick pups are consciously and deliberately irradiating the Middle East with depleted uranium weaponry. [17] The moral depravity of such an act is on par with the decision to develop an energy source certain to wipe out the biosphere just from its waste alone. That governments around the world have fostered this suicidal, ecocidal technology exemplifies pathocracy. We are truly ruled by true psychopathy. [18] The development and use of nuclear power gets the all-time Darwin Award for Homo sapiens. Viable Alternatives? Smiths section on alternatives is a frightening digression from his prior discussion on governmental lies, cover-ups and captivity by nuclear profits. Here, we find the Smart Grid being promoted, right along with biofuels both of which have incurred the wrath of privacy advocates and environmentalists. Though his entire book shows the complete failure of a federally regulated nuclear power program, he suggests that a nationalized grid that is government-run as a public utility might better serve the country. Just as with the nuclear industry, the grid would be contracted out to private corporations with the skills and infrastructure to run it. The US Government would regulate the grid, and all the issues raised in his chapter, The Regulatory-Industrial Complex, would plague a nationalized Smart Grid. He objects to: a balkanized grid bankrolled by private industry and guarded by proprietary smart meters. But, the grid should be regionalized and Smith promotes localization and decentralization, except not this time. Among the benefits of energy independence, a regionalized electric grid is far less vulnerable to massive, cascading disruptions than a nationalized one. Denmark has built small, combined heat and power stations that are thermodynamically more efficient than conventional power plants, which service only cities or localities. They boast 95% efficiency as compared to a typical plant in Britain which may boast 33% efficiency. [19] Along these lines, Smith reports that in 2006, for the first time in history, micropower which embraces small renewables, cogeneration, and other efficiencies outperformed nuclear reactors, producing one-sixth of all the worlds electricity Renewable energy can contribute substantially to energy demands, as Germany, Denmark and other nations have shown, but it cannot replace dig-it-up-and-burn-it fuel under current consumption rates in modern industrial society. Instead, and this Smith does promote, we need to power down use less and use it more efficiently. We must reject, however, his promotion of biofuels to complement the energy supply, because they are an abomination of nature. Genetically modified crops are the preferred source for biofuels, with all their attendant toxic chemicals linked to a host of human and environmental health problems, including the global pollinator die-off (which may kill us long before radiation finishes the job), and to mutagenic effects like sterilization, spontaneous abortion and growing links to diabetes, allergies, and other health disorders, as well as unavoidable genetic contamination of natural crops. Also, they require land that would otherwise be used for food and natural habitat, so its a net eco-loss to convert food crops or forests and prairies to GM biofuel plantations. [20] [21] [22] Smith is absolutely correct to assert that, Our long term survival in the twenty-first century depends not on consumption but on social solidarity, cooperation, sharing, resourcefulness, knowledge, and health. His message is, lets try to do what we can right now to become and stay healthy, as a species, as a planet. On that we also agree.

2	Mexican American Thugs Burn Flag, And Then THIS Happened [VIDEO] Two Mexican-American men have come under fire (no pun intended) after lighting the flag on fire to express their frustration with what was happening in this countrybut it is not what it seems. These two men were actually Donald Trump supporters, and they were taking a stand against protesters burning the American flag in California. One of the men is shown wearing a Make America Great Again t-shirt, and the other is wearing an American flag designed shirt. This is about America, the America people, and our flag, the men declared in the short clip. They go on to explain that they are firmly behind Trump. Thats when they set the Mexican flag on fire.

1	Telling reporters that he cant help but feel a little hurt, 52-year-old local father Trevor Jackson expressed his surprise and disappointment Sunday that his lawn didnt bother to get him anything for Fathers Day this year. Its not like I expect a big production on Fathers Day or anything, but I guess I thought my lawn would get me some sort of little presenta card, at the very least, said Jackson, adding that as the day went on, he slowly realized he wouldnt be receiving any kind of gift at all from the grass in his front yard. I care for it, I buy it anything it needs, I spend every weekend with it, and on the one day thats supposed to be about me, I dont even get so much as a Happy Fathers Day greeting. I mean, would it kill my lawn to show me just a little appreciation once a year? Despite his initial frustration, Jackson later confirmed that taking care of his lawn is its own reward, and he was happy to simply have a quiet Sunday afternoon together with the patch of fertilized grass.

2	Burqa Clad Muslim Refugee Attacks Police Officer In the past year, the media has focused in on a story of police discrimination against minorities. Unfortunately, weve seen a few examples of incidents like these this year, and those incidents are inexcusable. But they are not an excuse to disobey the law or disrespect our officers. President Obama does not seem to be emphasizing that second point enough. Take this recent video which has gone viral on social media for instance. Footage caught this woman wearing a burqa attempting to play the race card to get herself out of a traffic violation. She was pulled over for a traffic violation and when she didnt get her way, she had the nerve to tell the cop that hell be sorry. According to reports, Carnita Matthews was pulled over for a random breath test and received a citation for not properly displaying her provisional license as required by law. Furious, Matthews decided to file a false complaint against the cop, claiming that she was targeted only because she was wearing a burqa. In her report, the Muslim woman also complained that the officer tried to forcibly remove her veil. She did not know that the entire encounter has been filmed. And thanks to the dashcam, the tables quickly turned. Matthews was sent to prison for six months for filing a false complaint against the officer. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
3	The medical cartel is king in a globalist worldJon Rappoport In 1976, the great critic of 20th-century society, Ivan Illich, wrote: Modern medicine is a negation of health. It isnt organized to serve human health, but only itself, an institution. It makes more people sick than it heals. The medical cartel is the answer to the question: what do you with the population of Earth once they are living under a globalist oligarchy? Its all about managing lives, from womb to grave, and no institution serves that management better than Medicine. First of all, you have a system that dispenses toxic drugs in an endless stream, killing in the US alone, by conservative estimate, 100,000 people per year. On top of that, medical drugs cause anywhere from two to four millions severe adverse effects annually. Beyond this straight-out destruction, there is the turmoil, suffering, grieving, and confusion that extends in ripples, from each one of the deaths and injuries, to families, friends, and co-workers. The overall effect? Demoralization and the inability to see and think past the emotional painwhich is exactly what you want if you are a psychopath running a planet. The medical cartel (drug companies, public health agencies, medical schools, doctors) wants to assure cradle-to-grave treatment of every person. This means 30 or 40 diagnoses of illnesses and mental disorders during a lifetime, and treatment with toxic drugs. It also means medical issues are at the forefront of every persons mind as he/she wends through life, believing that Disease is the most important aspect of living. People become proud, yes, proud of their diagnoses and treatment. They wear the diagnoses like badges of honor, and every social communication is an occasion for displaying badges and discussing treatments and comparing notes. You know, at first my doctor thought it was ADHD, but then he did one of those new brain scans, and realized it was Bipolar with a trace of genetically inherited Oppositional Defiance Disorder. Once he had the ODD under control with a major tranquilizer, he could go after the Bipolar. But then I developed tremors. So he implanted a chip Its not only a sick society, its a society about sickness. Medical care is free, if by free one means: paid for by extraordinary levels of taxation. The basic collectivist slogan, Were all in this together, achieves its most fervent support from the axiom that Disease is our primary opportunity to help each other by accepting awesome tax burdens. Of course, huge segments of the world population wont be able to participate in modern, up-to-date, cutting-edge care. For them, there are several solutions. The first is vaccines seeded with chemicals and genes that reduce fertility and potency. As birth rates gradually decline, cover stories are invented to explain the phenomenon: stress; rising employment rates; the social effects of urbanization; the dissolution of the nuclear family. The second solution is epidemics that purportedly kill off large numbers of people. These epidemics are routine frauds, based on concocted science. In the poverty-stricken Third World, announced epidemics are nothing more than cover stories; people arent dying because of germs; theyre dying because their water is contaminated, because of overcrowding, lack of basic sanitation, generation-to-generation starvation. Theyre dying because their fertile growing lands have been stolen. While medical experts crow about attacking the germ of the moment with (toxic) drugs and vaccines, these actual causes of death can be ignored and even enhanced. Meanwhile, in industrialized technological sectors of the planet, psychiatry ascends to new heights of control over the educated classes. Although no so-called mental disorder has ever been diagnosed by a real laboratory test, the experts who dominate the field continue to invent new disorders at the drop of a hat. Psychiatric patients believe they have brain conditions that must be treated with (highly toxic) drugs. The patients also believe their own aspirations are limited by their disorders, and so they acquiesce to a psychiatric model that circumscribes their lives. At the top-end of society, new medical inventions are applied to the wealthy. Genetic enhancement is the most highly touted of these. Despite the fact that, as yet, there are no genetic treatments for any disease that work across the board, experiments will be done to extend life, to seed the unborn with special talents, to cure a wide variety of illnesses. There will be efforts to substitute technological components for biological nature. Limbs, organs, whole body systems, brains. The workability of high-tech pieces is not really the issue. The aim is simply to involve the rich in the entire grand experiment, thereby swallowing them up as well in a medical paradigm of existence. At the front door of medical cartel operations, a person will be enrolled in the system while in utero, and a path will be laid out that extends all the way to the grave. Once he is on record with a medical ID package, he will be tracked and treated and tweaked without let-up. Finally, the inevitable proposal and program will come into view. Why risk natural birth, which is already considered a medical event? Why not create birth in a laboratory? And if, at any point in life, a person experiences doubts and regrets about his membership in the universal medical control apparatus, he can obtain a prescription for drugs that target pleasure centers, and then check out of his worries and anxieties. Huxleys Brave New World would move in like a wave on a beach. At every way-stop toward that day, sophistication, elegance, assurance, and concern will be the watchwords of the practicing doctor, the secular priest in this drama of human dismantling. And yet, for those who remember, who know what the Individual is, who know what freedom is, who know what imagination and creative power are, the rigging and distorting and flattening and collectivizing will look like nothing more than a horrible cartoon. And these people who remember will lead a revolution like no revolution ever seen before. Or we can defect from, and withdraw our consent to, this mad matrix now.

1	Academy Awards hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway spent the entire three-hour broadcast Sunday absolutely ripping apart Social Network star Jesse Eisenberg with a barrage of clever one-liners, cutting jabs, and outright name-calling. 'In the Best Actor category tonight, we have a king, a grizzled U.S. Marshal, and a big nerd who never gets laid being played by another big nerd who never gets laid,' said Hathaway, introducing the award's presenter and adding that Eisenberg looked like he was 'about ready to crap his pants.' 'Hey Jesse, your mom told us we need to wrap things up so we can get you home before bedtime, you little dork.' Representatives from the American Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences have reportedly invited Franco and Hathaway back for next year's ceremony, saying they loved the bit where Franco inserted himself into scenes from all the Best Picture nominees and talked about how small Eisenberg's penis must be. 
1	The urgent 2 a.m. phone call placed by architect Clark Bennett to personal assistant Marcus Peck was prompted by an unusually frightening dream, Bennett said Tuesday. 'It was like someone was pinning me down, sitting on my chest, and the air was being sucked out of my lungs,' Bennett said. 'When I awoke, I called [Peck] to come over and fix me some warm milk and make sure the doors were locked and sit up with me in my room and read a coffee-table book to me.' Peck declined to comment on the details of the incident, although it is believed he counseled Bennett to just roll over and go back to sleep. 
1	LOS ANGELESExecutives at Atlantic Records announced Monday that multi-platinum recording artist Matchbox Twenty, which set sales records in 2000 for its mega-hit release Mad Season, has finally finished watering down tracks on its long-awaited new album Beige. Matchbox Twenty. 'Everyone here at Atlantic is thrilled about what's sure to be the biggest-selling, least-rocking record of the year,' Atlantic public-relations spokeswoman Janet Cosgrove said. 'It's been a long wait, but the incredibly boring results speak for themselves. Beige is bigger and blander than anything Matchbox Twenty has ever done.' 'Grab a chair, America!' she added. 'The most uninteresting band in formulaic, corporate radio is back!' The release has been eagerly awaited by Matchbox Twenty's enormous fan base, composed of American record buyers who have a limited interest in music but enjoy the act of shopping. In order to satisfy the undemanding non-tastes of this lucrative market, Matchbox Twenty has made every effort to create what record-industry insiders say is the band's least distinctive album yet. Matchbox Twenty - Beige 'Some were disappointed with the relatively limited reception to Matchbox Twenty's 2002 release More Than You Think You Are,' Rolling Stone contributing editor Nathan Brackett said. 'That album proved what record executives have known for years: It's actually very difficult to record a rock record that has no rock in it at all. But with this new release, Matchbox Twenty has really delivered on its signature non-sound.' After the enormous commercial success of 1996's Yourself Or Someone Like You, demand for simplistic, cookie-cutter output from the band has been high. Yet, according to Grammy-winning lead vocalist Rob Thomas, the new record's release was delayed repeatedly because of Matchbox Twenty's perfectionism in the studio. 'Our goal was to follow in the tradition of great multi-platinum artists like Elton John, Phil Collins, and the Dave Matthews Bandsales powerhouses who relied on the musical ignorance of their fans,' Thomas told reporters following Monday's announcement. 'We knew that if we wanted to match those historic giants for sheer lack of energy, we couldn't settle for anything less than total banality. And, though it took a lot of time and effort, I think we achieved thatan album that sets a new standard for trite crapola.' 'It's really derivative and boring,' he added. Thomas said it was the expectations of listeners that drove the band to create the most average music possible. 'We wanted to give our fans exactly what they've come to expect: music so inoffensive and indistinct that it could be played virtually anywherea bank lobby, an SUV stuck in traffic, a party full of aging stockbrokers and their girlfriends. That's no small task. Even a lot of the most vacant and unimaginative people have some capacity to actively engage in the music they're listening to.' According to band members, hundreds of hours were spent in the studio trying to render the sound adequately benign. 'No matter how many times we recorded the new single 'Sitting Down (Hands At My Side),' there was still a certain 'oomph' coming through in the drums, a loud-ish, slightly gripping sound that we couldn't remove,' drummer Paul Doucette said. 'Finally, after running them through about two dozen filters, we managed to get that 'plastic spork hitting mashed potatoes' sound we were after.' There was a similar problem, band members said, with the guitar solos, some of which contained trace elements of what musicians call 'passion.' In addition, the interplay among bass, drums, and guitars occasionally produced uncomfortable polyrhythmic effects that provoked unintentional toe-tapping or head-bobbing in listeners. The problems were fixed through extensive re-recording. 'I'm satisfied that all the watering-down we put into this album was worth it,' Thomas said. 'My lyrics are super-bland, the bass might as well have been recorded on a keyboard, and just wait until you hear how dull we managed to make the guitars sound. It's amazing.' The band will introduce the album's first single next week on MTV's hugely popular, entirely insipid show Total Request Live. 
3	Homeless Activists Go Organic And Feed An Entire Shelter With Rooftop GardenBy Steven Maxwell As a sinking economy and the criminal actions of the banking elite are leading many middle class, stable families into abject poverty, it is becoming much easier to identify with the less fortunate the closer their plight appears to be. Defenders of the homeless are becoming much more vocal now. We have seen some amazing examples recently of people moved to help those in need through programs such as an artist who paints and sells portraits of the homeless and gives them the profits; a former homeless man who gives back to the homeless by selling book reviews and buying food to share; or the inspiring story of a community organizer who used his own faith to connect with those from other faiths in a common cause of feeding those in need. We are even seeing people of conscience openly defying oppressive laws to draw a line in the sand that says: if it becomes illegal to help one another on our own terms, we simply have no freedom left to celebrate. Feeding the homeless has also gone from the concept of a handout of money to allow people to buy whatever meager sustenance they can find, to realizing that if people are going to have any chance of turning their financial situation around, they must be physically and mentally fit to do so. A key cornerstone to building oneself back up again is nutrition and if its free nutrition, then all the better! An organization in Atlanta is calling themselves Task Force For the Homeless and should be highlighted for their message and their tactics to restore dignity and prosperity to those who have fallen on hard times. They have chosen to combine two essential approaches to reverse the conditions which afflict the homeless the most: not having access to healthy food, and not being able to connect with others who are working in structured way to engage in practical solutions. Residents of the homeless shelter are now engaged in community building while providing for themselves food that only costs what their own efforts naturally produce. Instead of processed foods given through donation, their rooftop garden has 80 beds of the most diverse range of vegetables, fruits and herbs that can be produced on site. Now, instead of waiting for their next meal, they have taken action to ensure that each and every day they are well fed and well nourished. Best of all, this group of homeless has now gained something that goes beyond even the food itself the skills required to produce, manage, distribute and plan for the future a future which too often exists as minute-by-minute sacrifice instead of days of abundance. If you would like to connect to Task Force For The Homeless, or learn more about their program, please Follow on Facebook or Visit Their Website. Steven Maxwell writes for selfnewsPost.com. This article may be shared in its entirety with author attribution and source link. Awesome!! Positive activity and healthy food, thats a definite win-win. Propaganda but a nice gesture. A pile of herbs and greens doth not make a meal. Dont know where you come from Ledkovsky . or how well endowed with brain matter you are . but most of the plants in those boxes are seedlings and will grow into full size greens and herbs and will feed many people who are homeless !! Propaganda . One begins to understand why the US is in the S**t If not propaganda there are embellishments to the story. Nowhere on the organizations website does it suggest that the garden ensure(s) that each and every day they are well fed and well nourished. Also, our economy is not sinking despite record number of homeless in some urban areas. It would also be ethical to credit where the photos come from. Im making $97/hr. working part-time growing rooftop lettuce and tomatoes!!!!!! Thats funny. Positive story, if only we seen more of this sort of thing If those were keyhole garden plots, the folks would be making soil to sell (from scraps of cardboard and old phonebooks and dirt) as well as feeding the poor folks.the government cannot tax the sunlight.yet cant be that organic with all the chemicals they stay from the planes 
2	Stacey Dash Strikes Back After Hacker Posts Vulgar Pictures To Her Social Media Stacey Dash was recently suspended by Fox News for speaking out too strongly against President Obama. She criticized him for not taking ISIS seriously and his inability to create a rational plan to stop them. After she said, Obama could give a sh*t about ISIS, she was suspended for two weeks. After the fact, Stacey tweeted, Consequences. Some of us have to pay them. Gladly. More recently, Dash has had her Twitter hacked by a man she trusted. She made a visit to the police station to get the situation under control. She said the individual would get into her Twitter and post pictures and then delete them. Dash claimed she was doing what any woman should do if shes being harassed by a man in her life. My account was compromised by a man I trusted, posting vulgar attempts to garner followers. My apologies to all. Do you support Stacey Dashs views on Obama? 
2	Rick Perry Does Something Incredible Before Turning Himself In When Rick Perry was indicted on felony charges, he could either fight back, or stand by his actions. He did the latter, and his actions spoke volumes. He walked into the state capital in Austin, into the Travis County Courthouse and was fingerprinted. He faced reporters and a crowd of his supports, and delivered a very memorable speech. Im here today because I believe in the rule of law, Perry told the audience. And Im here today because I did the right thing. It appears that Governor Perry is not worried about the arraignment either. The actions that I took; they were lawful, they were legal, and they were proper, Perry concluded. 
1	Admitting the startling discovery had compelled him to reexamine his long-held beliefs, His Holiness Pope Francis announced Tuesday that he had reversed his critical stance toward capitalism after seeing the immense variety of Oreos available in the United States. Oh, my goodness, look at all these! Golden Oreos, Cookie Dough Oreos, Mega Stuf Oreos, Birthday Cake Oreosperhaps the system of free enterprise is not as terrible as I once feared, said the visibly awed bishop of Rome while visiting a Washington, D.C. supermarket, adding that the sheer diversity of flavors, various colors and quantities of creme filling, and presence or absence of an outer fudge layer had led to a profound philosophical shift in his feelings toward the global economy and opened his eyes to the remarkable capabilities of the free market. Only a truly exceptional and powerful economic system would be capable of producing so many limited-edition and holiday-themed flavors of a single cookie brand, such as these extraordinary Key Lime Pie Oreos and Candy Corn Oreos. This is not a force of global impoverishment at all, but one of endless enrichment. At press time, the pontiff had reportedly withdrawn his acceptance of capitalism, calling any system that would unleash a Roadhouse Chili Monster Slim Jim on the public an unholy abomination. 
3	Leaked Report: Petrochemical Pollution Causes Microcephaly ... Not ZikaBy Jon Rappoport As Ive demonstrated in numerous articles, the purported cause of microcephaly, the Zika virus, is completely discredited. There is no science to back it up. In fact, the findings of Brazilian researchers constitute evidence that Zika has nothing to do with microcephaly. Now we have this: Jerusalem Post (2/2/16), All eyes on Haifa after damning study results leaked: preliminary results of a University of Haifa study indicating that exposure of pregnant women in the Haifa area to pollution from the petrochemical industry [including an ammonia factory] caused their babies to be born with heads 20 to 30 percent smaller than average. The five-year study is only a quarter of the way done. The preliminary results were leaked, causing an uproar among residents in the city of Haifa, where cancer rates are five times the national average in some neighborhoods. The Post: Early findings of the five-year study, which has been carried out for only one year so far, were revealed on Sunday night by Channel 2. The study, sponsored by the municipality and the Haifa-area Municipal Association, was financed by the petrochemical industries and the Israel Electric Corporation. More from the Post article: The Channel 2 report claimed that the researchers working on the study had demanded to take soil samples from the area to test for possibly carcinogenic materials, but that the Haifa-area Municipal Association, which was among those paying for the research, refused. Rambam Medical Center, Haifas largest hospital, said it was not aware of babies being born with smaller-than-average heads. So on one side, we have the researchers, who were funded by the petrochemical industry itself, stating that microcephaly is prevalent. On the other side, the local hospital says its not. Facts need to be sorted out, but if this report is true, and the ongoing study continues to validate the early findings, we are looking at one obvious cause of microcephaly. The published literature is clear: any insult to the developing fetal brain can cause microcephaly. Heavy industrial pollution would certainly qualify. Ive already reported on several sources of this birth defect in Brazil. They include: toxic pesticides; the Tdap vaccine; a larvicide which was dumped in water supplies; and anti-mosquito indoor sprays. The Zika virus functions, in fact, as a cover story to divert attention from the true causes of a wide range of birth defects and neurological impairment. Corporate predators and their profits must be protected. (To read about Jons mega-collection, Power Outside The Matrix, click here.)

I am only just becoming aware of the extent to which Genocidal Practitioners will go, to effect their goals on humanity. POPULATION REDUCTION has been a dream of the very few, for some time. Digging around on sites like Lincoln Watch, and selfnews Post is a stumbling process of education that only pays off when people who know more than I, make contributions and corrections as WE LEARN. Thanks for your help,John Smith, and Eddysach. Ill BE BACK! Watch out as well, that with this hysteria, they are going to ring vaccinate scores of populations to cause more problems. We are dealing with mass murderers, a proper Nuremberg This is whats behind EVERY pandemic scare. You have a better chance of being run over by a city bus driven by an enraged armadillo. There are many causes of disease but the medical/pharma mafia need the single cause of disease theory. How else are they going to vaccinate against the one cause? Ah, Veri. There is no such concept in the medical industry. If that were the case I wouldnt have worked on projects that have been funded to the total of something like $40 million in my relatively short careerall of which were disease therapies and zero of which were thought to be caused by viruses or bacteria. Only a thought sloth could possibly think that Big Pharma is promoting the idea that there is a single cause of disease. In fact, when it comes to being accurately described as promoting the idea that disease is rooted in a single, simple causeisnt that what your environment determines disease theory is more accurately described as? Its rather amusing since the medical industry considers environment (internal/external), physical activity, genetics, micro-organisms, diet, psychological state, and senescence to be just a few of the major causes of disease, yet you somehow think thats single cause despite it including your much more myopic theory? lol. Talking about orthodox infectious disease theory one germ (the theory goes) means one type of vaccine. As if your even more narrowly-focused environmental-only theory doesnt involve avoiding innumerable toxins and/or unhealthy activities/substances etcmany of which are associated with particular diseases. You cant get around it, Veri. Standard theories literally include internal/external environment as related to a number of diseases. Standard theory just isnt stupid enough to think thats all there is to it. The environment MEANS avoiding toxins, etc. It also includes nutrients, make up the environment / terrain. The petri dish experiments with germs, even those of the distant past, have clearly demonstrated that the environment in which germs are cultured makes them change from benign to pathogenic and vice versa. Same in the body. Environment IS the prime determinant of health/disease. If a particular infectious germ is supposedly the cause of a specific disease, then everyone coming into contact with it should develop that disease. Not even remotely true, Veri. Im sorry that you dont seem to realize I have already explained to you why that isnt the case. As much as I love repeating myself to people that arent even bright enough to realize an issue has already been addressed, Ill hold off unless you actually bother going back and rebutting the aforementioned explanation. Same applies to the genetic cause of disease theory. It used to be gods will, now its our genes not. Are you retarded? Some genetic diseases are so well-characterized that we even know how they exert their effects across generations. Go read about Huntingtons disease if you wish to learn about an obviously genetic disease Im sorry, Veri, but reality isnt some mystical utopia where everything in nature exists in a perfect state and in perfect harmony with the rest of nature. Youre Disney-fying health, lol! Genetics Dogma Another example of bad science (like the flying virus theory): In Tangled Strands In The Double Helix, M. Ridley (Nature 2000, 406:347-348), for example, the genetics dogma is described as bad science, as theres quite obviously an environment-gene interaction. In Habitat Seen Playing Larger Role in Shaping Behavior D Normile (Science, 1998, 279:1454-1455) discussed the major role of environment over genes. In Epigenetics: REgulation Through Repression AP Wolffe AM Matzke (Science, 1999, 286:481-486) discuss how so-called acquired characteristics passed from parent to child occur without any changes in DNA coding. In other words, environment controls genes through epigentic mechanisms. In Epigenetic Reprogramming in Mammalian Development W Reik et al (Science 2001, 293:1089-1093) describe how environmental programs or epigenetic control mechanisms are erased and reset in embryonic development. In What Maintains Memories? JE Lisman JR Fallon (Science 11999 283:339-340) discusses holism vs reductionism with respect to cell information pathways. Time Magazines title page of Jan 2010 read: Why Your DNA Isnt Your Destiny In the book: Epigenetics The Death of the Genetic Theory of Disease Transmission by J Wallach, M Lan G Schrauzer they cite an example of a disease once thought to be caused by faulty genes (much like the flying virus fairytale): Cystic Fibrosis which in monkeys could be induced just with a selenium deficient diet! The same applies to Keshan Disease (KSD) previously thought to be due to genetics. The Chinese conducted large-scale double blind supplementation studies confirming that selenium deficiency was the cause of this disease as well. Continued long-term studies involving over 500,000 participants confirmed that supplemental selenium was specific for preventing and curing KSD. A quote by Bruce Lipton: The brain of the cell is its skin, the mem-brane, the interface of the interior of the cell and the ever-changing world we live in. It is the functional element that controls life. This is important because understanding its function reveals that we are not victims of our genes. The cell is a chip and that the nucleus was a hard disk with programs. The genes were programs. a computer is like a cell. It has programs built into it but what was expressed by the computer was not determined by the programs. It was determined by the information that [the keyboard operator], as the environment, was typing onto the keyboard. Its not our genes which determine outcomes but the feedback of information from the envionment i.e. nutrition, toxins, emotions, etc. In, Im going to copy a bunch of crap I dont understand, Veri Tard: 1. Pretends that somebody here and/or scientists thinks genes are the sole determinant of all diseases with any genetic component. Its like shes never head a scientist utter the word genotoxic before. 2. Ignores that there is an entire spectrum of genetic diseases ranging from ENTIRELY due to genetics to any exogenous entity altering gene expression. 3. Pretends that epigenetics having a role in some heritable diseases somehow changes the fact that it has no role in other heritable diseases. 4. Imagines that cystic fibrosis is caused by selenium deficiency when the only guy who claims to have evidence of this is a supplement pusher (Big Supple, lol!)and when basically every paper ever published has found evidence that selenium deficiency causes or cures CF. 5. Thinks that bringing up a disease that has no genetics-based theory proves anything other than that there is at least one disease that isnt caused by genetic (duh). As for your list of quotes. 1. You do realize that the cellular membranes ability to interact with the environment is largely dependent on the synthesis of proteins encoded by genes, correct? You dogs photoreceptors are not as diverse as those found in humans, due in no small part to genetics, thus his ability to be influenced by the environment differs from a humans. This truth holds for thousands of biological interactions at the cell surface in humans. Nothing short of exposure to a mutagen/teratogen during organism development can change the fact that the environment cant do anything other than modulate the functions of what already exists. 2. The computer analogy is poorly contrived. The user can control what is displayed, but what is displayed is limited by the software and the hardware. The software determines HOW the computer can react to input, and the environment can only influence it within those constraints. Its not our genes which determine outcomes but the feedback of information from the envionment i.e. nutrition, toxins, emotions, etc. Its both. Genetics affects how the body reacts to nutrients and nutrients modulate gene function. Genetics largely determine what is toxic, and many varieties of toxins are only toxic if genetics built a system that was disrupted by them. Emotions are also largely influenced by genetics since they are what determine the general form and distributions of neurons and receptors that modulate and interpret emotion. As I told you once already, Veri. Your concept of genetics is about as infantile as whats found in anime from the 90s. Your entire argument against it relies on your ridiculous belief that scientists actually believe in your laughably oversimplified version of genetics. The industry that derives its profits from the genetic cause of disease theory is making the health vs disease issue more complex than it needs to be. The primacy of DNA in influencing and regulating biological behavior and evolution is based upon an unfounded assumption. A seminal article by H. F. Nijhout (BioEssays 1990, 12 (9):441-446) describes how concepts concerning genetic controls and programs were originally conceived as metaphors to help define and direct avenues of research. Widespread repetition of this compelling hypothesis over fifty years has resulted in the metaphor of the model becoming the truth of the mechanism, in spite of the absence of substantiative supporting evidence. The notion that the nucleus and its genes are the brain of the cell is an untenable and illogical hypothesis. If the brain is removed from an animal, disruption of physiologic integration would immediately lead to the organisms death. If the nucleus truly represented the brain of the cell, then removal of the nucleus would result in the cessation of cell functions and immediate cell death. However, experimentally enucleated cells may survive for two or more months with out genes, and yet are capable of effecting complex responses to environmental and cytoplasmic stimuli (Lipton, et al., Differentiation 1991, 46:117-133). Logic reveals that the nucleus can not be the brain of the cell! Veri predictably copies yet another retarded essay by an idiot that doesnt understand genetics or the associate research. As much as Id love to explain it to you, all youll do is ignore it and copy more things you dont understand in response. You should be ashamed of how intellectually lazy you are, Veri. I mean, you literally just copied a guy making a hilarious argument equating the role of an organisms brain to the role of DNA in order to attack a nice little straw man, lol! No wonder you think genetic theories are ridiculousyou dont even understand them at their most basic, lol!!!!!! Youve not mentioned the large-scale and long-term studies with so-called genetic Keshan disease patients who were cured with a simple supplement (selenium). Heres proof that your genetic cause of disease theory is wrong! Also, you arrogantly dismissed Dr J Blands research who is the lead author of over 100 peer-reviewed research papers on nutritional biochemistry. He has degrees in biology and chemistry and a PhD in synthetic organic chemistry; he is a nutritional biochemist and registered clinical laboratory director and has held the position of professor of biochemistry at the University of Puget Sound, as well as Director of Nutritional Research at the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine. Hardly someone to dismiss when it comes to research into how to cure disease with nutrition, you fool. Nor can you dismiss the vast body of research into epigenetic causes of disease those causes that override any role genes may play. The altar at which you worship your erroneous, twisted and poisonous medicine is crumbling, along with your fuddy-duddy cronyist methods of interacting in the world. There are only two causes of disease: Toxaemia and nutritional deficiency. Youve not mentioned the large-scale and long-term studies with so-called genetic Keshan disease patients who were cured with a simple supplement (selenium). Actually, I did, Veri. Allow me to quote myself referencing that disease, Thinks that bringing up a disease that has no genetics-based theory proves anything other than that there is at least one disease that isnt caused by genetics (duh). Im not sure what youre high on, Veri, but Keshan disease has been thought to have been caused by a combination of selenium deficiency and a particular virus since the 80sand the preferred intervention has always been selenium supplementation or improved nutrition. (as opposed to your usual claim that the pharmaceutical industry would push a vaccine in such cases). Also, you arrogantly dismissed Dr J Blands research Uhhhh, no I didnt, lol! YOU DID THOUGH, LOL!!!! Dr. Blands functional medicine literally involves taking genetic predispositions into account for developing personalized therapies.LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!! Veri, SERIOUSLY, you need to learn what the heck youre copying. Just to drive home how self-defeating it was of you to bring up Jeffrey Bland HE BELIEVES VIRUSES AND GENETICS CAN CAUSE DISEASE. The dude wrote all about 23andMe testing for cystic fibrosis and the role of Herpes and genes in Alzheimers. but please, kiddo. Invoke the guy who disagrees with you while claiming that Im dismissing him, lol! Its great comic value, in a tragic way, I suppose Thus, from here on out, since explaining things to you is futile, I will just point out which idol you adore would not agree. There are only two causes of disease: Toxaemia and nutritional deficiency. Jeffery Bland disagrees, you fool. Nor can you dismiss the vast body of research into epigenetic causes of disease those causes that override any role genes may play. Jeffrey Bland disagrees, you fool. The altar at which you worship your erroneous, twisted and poisonous And youre such a tard that you cant even attack my actual views or understand those of the people you invoke. Keshan and a variety of diseases were thought to be genetic until research into nutrition was conducted and found nutritional deficiencies to be the cause. The fact that there are genetic polymorphisms is not denied, however, the reality that environmental factors (toxicity nutrient depletion) are still the cause of disease, all other factors being equal, is still asserted. An example might be the MTHFR gene in autistic children 98% of autistic children are said to have the MTHFR genetic mutation. HOWEVER, it is toxic exposures via vaccines and other means which induce these genes to be switched on. Again, its the environment, stupid! Pellagra, a disease caused by a vitamin (niacin) deficiency, is another example: Initially it was thought to have been caused by a germ. Keshan and a variety of diseases were thought to be genetic until research into nutrition was conducted and found nutritional deficiencies to be the cause. Lol, Veri. If anyone had actually built a case that Keshan was a genetic disease you should be able to point me to papers identifying the actual genetic mechanism for the disease, correct? I dont even come across people GUESSING that it might be genetic, much less actually saying it was. This is in stark contrast to other diseases like CF and Huntingtons where the actual genetic defect is well-known. the reality that environmental factors (toxicity nutrient depletion) are still the cause of disease, all other factors being equal, is still asserted. Assert it until youre blue in the face. Many heritable diseases do not require exposure to toxins or nutrient depletion. Only a freaking moron would fail to see how stupid it is to claim that one disease being linked to a nutrient deficiency means that ALL of them are either related that or toxin exposure. Especially when youre making a fallacious claim about it initially being genetic, lol! Some diseases work like that, Veri. Not all of them, lol! An example might be the MTHFR gene in autistic children You really dont get it, do you? EVERY SCIENTIST ON EARTH knows that some disorders are only related to genetics in that they predispose people to acquiring a disease. Autism is one of those classes of disease. Lets put it this way to show you how stupid your logic is. Vitamin C deficiency causes scurvy, therefore all diseases must be caused by vitamin C deficiency. That is literally the argument you are using. Keshan disease is caused by malnutrition, therefore all diseases must be caused by ONLY things Veri Tas thinks cause diseases. Patently retarded. If you want to prove a point, show me how the diseases I pointed to as being entirely genetic are not. HOWEVER, it is toxic exposures via vaccines and other means which induce these genes to be switched on. Says the guy who cited a Dr. who believes in gentically-determined diseases and pathological viruses and didnt even realize it (as usual). Im sorry, but youre freaking hilarious. It takes a special breed of stupid for someone to stand up in front of a person who recognizes that diseases have a host of causes and then assert that its only malnutrition and toxin exposure because there are a handful of such diseases, while flat-out ignoring the examples of diseases with well known genetic causes. For the last time: Environment trumps genes. Got it? If the expression of our genetic code were fixed then identical twins would remain identical throughout life and develop similar diseases. However, thats not the case, as twin studies have shown. Moreover, as twins age, their DNA actually becomes more dissimilar. Human Genes are Turned On and Off by Diet John McDougall, MD https://www.drmcdougall.com/2013/09/30/human-genes-are-turned-on-and-off-by-diet/ Genetic Science Learning Center http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/epigenetics/twins/ Epigenetic differences arise during the lifetime of monozygotic twins http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1174919/pdf/pnas-0500398102.pdf Over and out. For the last time: Environment trumps genes. Got it? For the last time, no matter how much you repeat yourself and copy things you dont comprehend, that will NEVER be true for ALL DISEASES. GOT IT? I keep giving you examples where genes trump environment, and you just IGNORE THEM ALL, LOL!!!! If the expression of our genetic code were fixed then identical twins would remain identical throughout life and develop similar diseases. And in many diseases, they do. Look up PENETRANCE. In a disease with less than 100% penetrance, you can see variability in disease phenotype between twinsbut alas Veri, some diseases have 100% penetrance. And in many cases the environmental triggers have nothing to do with diet as it does in your dream world. Face it, Veri. Humans are imperfect organisms. Sometimes things just break and theres no magical nutrient that will fix them. Since you are too obstinate to listen to anything I actually say, how about I make an argument using one of YOUR authorities. Cancer is a constellation of diseases that can occur as the result of cellular malfunction and abnormal cellular divisiononcogenesiswhich reflects a systemic alteration that is the bodys response to genetic triggers, environmental influences, or in many cases a combination of the two. Get it? Your idol literally agrees with what Ive been telling you, lol! AND HE BELIEVES IN VIRUSES TOO!!!!! 
3	Latest UN Syria Report on War Crimes Compiled by Washington Think-TankerCollections of interviews conducted abroad and in the field shape latest UN report compiled by US corporate-financier representative Karen Koning AbuZayd. The [UN] report covers the period between Feb. 15 and July 20 and involved 1,062 interviews, both in the field and in Geneva, reported the Washington Post in their article titled, UN expert panel concludes Syria regime, militia have committed war crimes against civilians. The value of a report based on interviews is throwaway propaganda to be twisted and used by both sides accordingly, but ultimately adding nothing in terms of documented facts or forensic, photographic, and/or video evidence. While providing a window into the current state of propaganda hanging over the Syrian conflict, the report adds nothing in terms of a better understanding of actual events on the ground. The language used by the Washington Post, and the selectively accusing title chosen indicates that the twisting and leveraging of the UNs latest report has already begun. UN Report Compiled (Again) by Washington Think-Tanker Image: Screenshot from the Washington D.C.-based Middle East Policy Councils board of directorsfrom which the UN has drawn Karen Koning AbuZayd as head of their recent expert panel on Syria. With fellow board members representing the collective interests of the American and Gulf State corporate-financier interests currently underwriting armed militants inside Syria, the conflict of interest resigns the legitimacy of the report based entirely on interviews as well as the legitimacy of the UN itself. (click image to enlarge) Image: Just some of the corporate members of the US-Qatar Business Council, whose president just so happens to sit on the same board of directors of the Middle East Policy Center as Karen AbuZayd, co-author of, now two, conveniently timed UN reports on Syria. In other words, the very underwriters of the armed militancy that is consuming Syria are sitting along side the head of the UN commission producing reports portraying the Syrian government as guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The hypocrisy, criminality, and fraud is, for a lack of a better term, astronomical. Such reports based on unverified interviews conducted with admitted members of Syrias opposition, citing absolutely no evidence, and compiled by representatives of the very corporate-financier interests who have conspired since at least 2007 to undermine and overthrow the Syrian government with armed sectarian extremists represent biased propaganda serving special-interests that has absolutely no place within the allegedly pluralistic United Nations. For the UN, it has categorically proven the failure of global governance and the primacy of international law. It serial failure demands its replacement by multipolar cooperation that recognizes national sovereignty and the primacy of the nation-state as an unassailable, uncrossable line.

2	Al Sharpton Unleashes On Baltimore Sheriffs After They Did THIS Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan is causing some serious controversy after speaking out against the destructive elements of black culture. Some are standing behind Morgan while others are calling him a racist. In a video clip that has now gone viral, Morgan starts by criticizing the term African American. Blacks that currently reside in America didnt come from Africa, Morgan claims, Terms like this are divisive in naturewere Americans. Morgan goes on to discuss several issues of racetalking about the need to differentiate the real from the perceived. He claims that the idea that America is racist is perceived, and points to the fact that we currently have a black president in the White House. He then goes on to criticize what he deems a thug culture that many Black Americans have embraced, and the destructive nature of such a mindset. Watch the video below and tell us what you think of Morgans comments. 
2	Obama Used This Excuse To Exercise Tyrannical Control, But It Backfired According to recent reports, President Barack Obama has officially taken more executive action than any other president in the United States. During his two terms as president, Obama has issued 195 executive orders and 198 presidential memoranda. He can no longer make the tired claim that he is acting just as any other president has. Further, his actions are more extreme than those taken by previous presidents. Hes issued the Department of Labor to collect salary information from federal contractors, hes asked the Department of Education to cap student loan payments at 10% income, and hes pushed for amnesty. What do you think? Is it time Obama was out of the White House? 
1	Explaining how the decision-making process is complicated by the often wide variety of available options, a report issued by the University of Maryland Tuesday concluded that the average person spends approximately 18 hours standing at the bar agonizing over what to order every time they go up for a drink. When deciding what to order, our research shows that being forced to choose from even just a handful of cocktail and draft beer options will keep most bar patrons crippled with indecision for nearly an entire day, said lead researcher Lynne Anderson, adding that even individuals who approach the bar with a specific order firmly in mind are immediately thrown into an extended period of internal debate upon noticing a chalkboard listing various happy hour specials. And thats just a conservative estimate. In fact, the time spent going back and forth between two or three drink options could easily double if the individual overhears another patron purchasing a round of shots or asking about seasonal offerings. The report also confirmed that an indecisive customer will remain fixed in place indefinitely in the event that a large crowd of impatient bar-goers has formed behind him. 
2	BREAKING: Al Sharpton Is Officially Getting Fired After Something Amazing Happened According to recent reports, Al Sharpton was fired from MSNBC after a $20 billion racial discrimination lawsuit was brought against him. The Hollywood Reporter reports that even though the FCC has not yet ruled on the proposed merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable, the National Association of African-American Owned Media has just filed a lawsuit claiming at least $20 billion in damages. The group claims that the two giants discriminate against black-owned media. The group first made headlines when they filed a similar suit against ATT and DirecTV in December. Now, the plaintiff is targeting Comcast and TWC, as well as several African-American advocacy groups, including MSNBC host Al Sharpton. The group claims that these parties are all facilitating discrimination. Rumors have sparked of Sharpton losing his prime TV show as a result. What do you think of the lawsuit? 
2	Soldier Kicked Out Of The Military For Being A Conservative Christian So He Does THIS To Fight Back According to recent reports, 25-year veteran of the U.S. Army Nathan Sommers just filed a lawsuit claiming that he was pushed out of the Army for being a conservative. More than a year ago, we reported that Sommers was ordered to stop reading books from conservative authors and received criticism for serving Chick-fil-A sandwiches at a party celebrating his promotion. Sommers claims that he was eventually forced to retire for his political and religious beliefs. Those who protect our rights must be allowed to exercise them, attorney John Wells told reporters. Master Sergeant Sommers did nothing to interfere with good order and discipline. He was the perfect soldier. Sommers received an Army Commendation Medal during his service. Congress has enacted laws to protect the free expression of religious beliefs in the armed forces, Wells added. The Army Band broke those laws and they will be held accountable. What do you think? Do you support Sommers? 
1	During a signing ceremony at his high school's gymnasium Thursday, one of the nation's top recruiting violations made his intent to play basketball for the University of Michigan official. 'I'm excited to be part of the Michigan tradition, and I hope to start helping them this year,' said the recruiting violation, 19, referring to a season that the NCAA will eventually strip from the record books. 'I hope to follow in the rich tradition of Robert Traylor and Chris Webber.' Though rumors are already swirling concerning his close ties to wealthy alumni athletic boosters, the recruiting violation expressly and vehemently denied these allegations in a conference call made from his new Porsche Cayenne. 
2	Obama Moves To Take Down Sheriff Joe, Doing Everything He Can To Put Him Jail Sheriff Arpaio has been antagonizing President Obama for years now, ever since he first started questioning Obamas origin of birth. For the past few years, Obama has been on a desperate mission to take him down. Almost two years ago, the American Civil Liberties Union sued Arpaio with allegations that he had been racially profiling Hispanic men. U.S. District Judge Murray Snow ruled against Arpaio, ordering him to never use profiling tactics again. Now, Arpaio is once again in a legal battle before Snow, and is at risk of being ruled in contempt of court for violating those orders. Likely, however, Arpaio will simply be ordered to pay a fine and make some changes to this department. Still, he is at risk of being put in jail, and given that hes not exactly friendly with the Obama Administration, this could be a real possibility. What do you think? Do you support Sheriff Joe? 
1	As they prepare to begin the Chase for the Cup with the Sylvania 300, top NASCAR executives are worried about the financial impact another season free of horrible injuries could have on the sport. 'Every day a car doesn't flip over or a driver isn't set on fire, NASCAR loses money,' chief marketing officer Steve Phelps said Monday, adding that the main reason fans say the sport hasn't been the same since Dale Earnhardt, Sr. died in the 2001 Daytona 500 is because no one has been killed or maimed in that time. 'Of course, we hate to see anyone get hurt, but then again, we have to put the needs of the fans first.' In related developments, NASCAR officials are expected to announce changes to the Car of Tomorrow that include eliminating seat belts, a top speed of 300 miles per hour, and special design features that make you look like a girl if you wear a helmet while driving. 
2	Judge Jeanine Blackballed After Warning America About What Hillary Plans To Do To Christians... Hillary Clinton has tried to position herself as the womens candidate. She has continuously implied that she is working in the best interests of women throughout the country. Fortunately, Judge Jeanine Pirro can see right through that. In a recent segment, Pirro delivered a very disturbing and powerful speech, demanding that America wakes up and see Clinton for who she really is. Ive got news for you, she began. You may not have a place in Hillary Clintons America. She has her own war on women. Evidence: what the women Bill Clinton violated said about her. She even has her own war on religion, Jeanine continued, commenting on Clintons resistance to acknowledge Christian values. The woman is utterly against religious liberty. No surprise there, since its her pal Barack Obama whose policy she wants to continuewho took the Little Sisters of the Poor to the United States Supreme Court to force them to provide contraceptives and the morning after pill under Obamacare to their employees, a violation of their religious beliefs, Pirro argued. In her segment, Jeanine went on to discuss Hillarys leaked emails in which she argued Christians had backwards beliefs. What do you think? Do you applaud Pirro for taking a stand? 
2	Experts Reveal More Proof That Obamas Birth Certificate Is Counterfeit At this point, it is no secret that President Obamas documents provided to prove his citizenship are questionable at best. Not too long ago, experts were able to discover that a birth certificate uploaded to the White House website was actually a layered document that had gone through rounds and rounds of photo shop. Even prior to the documents release, there were questions about the Presidents identity. Now, more evidence continues to arise that proves the document is fake. What do you think? Does Obama have some serious questions to answer? 
3	New Hampshire House Passes Bill to Ban Use of Warrantless Dataselfnews Post Also this week, a house committee gave final approval to HB1567, which bans the state from obtaining location information of an electronic device without a warrant issued by a judge based on probable cause and on a case-by-case basis. And HB1619 was previously approved by that same committee. That bill prohibits the acquisition, collection, or retention of personal information including personal identifiers, content, and usage, given or available to third-party providers of information and services, including telephone; electric, water and other utility services; internet service providers; social media providers; banks and financial institutions; insurance companies; and credit card companies. OffNow coalition member Shane Trejo said that this was an important part of the overall effort to push back against NSA spying. These bills are an important step forward to ban local law enforcement from becoming just another arm of the national surveillance state lead by the NSA and FBI, he said. And by prohibiting the use of such information on a state level, it also blocks some of what the federal spies are trying to do in practice. NSA collects, stores, and analyzes data on countless millions of people without a warrant, and without even the mere suspicion of criminal activity. The NSA also tracks the physical location of people through their cellphones. In late 2013, the Washington Post reported that NSA is gathering nearly 5 billion records a day on the whereabouts of cellphones around the world. This includes location data on tens of millions of Americans each year without a warrant. The NSA also expressly shares warrantless data with state and local law enforcement through a super-secret DEA unit known as the Special Operations Division (SOD). We know that information is being used for criminal prosecutions. Reuters released documents in 2013 which prove that most of this shared data has absolutely nothing to do with national security issues. Most of it involves routine criminal investigations. This data sharing shoves a dagger into the heart of the Fourth Amendment, said Trejo. These three bills will prevent state law enforcement from gathering warrantless data and sharing it up the chain, and it will make information vacuumed up by the feds and shared down the chain inadmissible in court, stopping a practical effect of federal spying. HB1533 now moves on to the state senate, where it will first need to be approved by a committee before the full senate has an opportunity to concur. HB1567 and HB1619 are due for a full state house vote before the end of March. ACTION ITEMS Please visit and support the Tenth Amendment Center where this article first appeared. 
1	Approaching slowly with their arms spread open wide, thousands of huggers across the country announced their intention for you to get on over here Wednesday. Cmon, bring it in! Lets do this, the nations huggers said, adding that someone needed a hug and that person is you. Get over here, you know what time it is. At press time, the huggers were reportedly beckoning you to come closer, grinning ear to ear, and nodding their heads in the affirmative. 
1	Since it first hit newsstands, the February issue of Elle has reportedly held the publishing world in awe with its groundbreaking Marilyn Monroeinspired photo spread, which has been hailed as yet another dazzling milestone in the career of visionary photo editor Allison Shields. The powerfully original 12-page spread, in which the actress Amy Adams recreates several iconic photos of the late Hollywood starlet, has earned Shields lavish amounts of praise as a creative genius and an artistic mastermind years ahead of her time, sources confirmed Monday. Not only did she have the incredible vision to recreate the famous image of Marilyn holding down her dress over a New York City subway grate, but she also had the brilliancethe audacity, evento put Amy in a dress identical to the one Marilyn was wearing, said Elle senior editor Clara Buckingham, adding that the first time she saw the negatives she was absolutely blown away. They did her hair and makeup the same and everything. It was amazing. Taking a celebrity from today and dressing her up like a celebrity from a long time agohow did she come up with that? Buckingham continued. On one level its an homage, but on another, deeper level its a commentary on how much things stay the same even as they change. According to Buckingham, the Adams photoshoot is only the latest example of Shieldss truly ahead-of-the-curve photographic genius. A feature last October in which comedian Jerry Seinfeld was dressed up as a clown and photographed at a deserted carnival similarly oozed with originality, she said, as did a July shoot in which Shields had the boy band One Direction reenact the Beatles Abbey Road album cover. Last month, Shields triggered an eruption of positive buzz after shooting the bare-shouldered musician Pink as she bit into an apple, evoking the biblical figure of Eve in a collection of images that industry sources said solidified the 42-year-olds reputation as one of the most forward-thinking and wildly unpredictable photo editors in American fashion today. It takes an out-of-the-box thinker like Allison to stumble upon the idea of reaching to the past for inspiration, said managing editor Corrie Ross, who admitted she gets chills whenever Shields has photos digitally aged to resemble the originals that inspired them. You see her work and you think, Wow, I wish Id thought of that. But of course you or I never could have. Thats what makes her such a genius. And now shes outdone herself yet again, Ross added. I guess thats why we pay her $400,000 a year. Colleagues said Shieldss creative mastery lies in her ability to challenge her audiences expectations, whether by photographing the cast of Girls as debauched Jazz Age flappers, or unexpectedly switching genres and shooting Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, and Danny McBride as Shakespearean thespians in ruffled collars and tights. All her contemporaries can do, observers noted, is sit back and look on with dropped jaws. The wealth of ideas this woman has in her head when it comes to choosing subjects and settings is something no one else can match, Buckingham said. Like magic, shell snap her fingers and say, Lets dress [Gov.] Chris Christie as George Washington and have him lead a boat across the Delaware, or How about we go to Yahoo and shoot [CEO] Marissa Mayer as Jackie O? At press time, reports confirmed the magazine industry had been bowled over once again after Shields oversaw a photoshoot of comedian Russell Brand wearing a suit and tie above the waist but just boxers below. 
3	Why a Federal GMO Labeling Law Could Be WorthlessThey dont want you to know what goes into your food. Prop 37 which aimed to mandate GMO food labels in California was a big showdown battle where mounting public concern was ultimately defeated by the power of big industry money. The momentum for labeling genetically modified ingredients, and bringing about greater food transparency is being co-opted by Big Organic players meeting at the table with the biggest biotech and Big Food corporations. These opposing sides have planned a compromise around a federal GMO labeling scheme that likely will lack teeth and render useless any state-level labeling laws that would put in place real restrictions. Melissa Melton and Aaron Dykes give examples of countries where labeling laws are circumvented by loopholes that require only soy and corn to be labeled, while letting slip through oils and other combination frankenfoods. The infiltration and takeover of regulatory agencies and policy making engines in government, along with legal prowess to write exemptions and loopholes, has allowed the major biotech corps including Monsanto to flip the idea of a food regulators on its head and convert watchdogs into collaborators who aid in funding and approving GM crops, as well as give cover to keep the public in the dark about what is transpiring behind the scenes with food.

3	Open Source Plans for Modern Tesla Free Energy Generator Released to PublicTerrence Newton The story of Nikola Tesla is a remarkable reminder of how our economic, political and media systems create our reality, because it shows how human ingenuity can be co-opted, shut-down, taken-over and hushed by powerful people with financial interests at stake. Fortunately, the legacy of Tesla lives on and people are now more interested than ever in his theories about cosmic energy and his patents for energy systems that could offer promise for liberating earth from dependence on fossil fuels. Could it be that his vision has finally come to fruition and has been made available to the public, some 100 years after his patent for a fuel-less electricity generator? Developed by an organization known as the Fix the World Council, and promoted by the lively Hopegirl, the prototype for the QEG was recently crowd-funded by over 600 independent contributors, and the plans for the QEG have been made available to the public for download here: Download Plans for the Quantum Energy Generator here.. This means that the public now has access to the technical designs for this free-energy device, and if it works, and if it proves to be a viable option for creating electrical energy, then we may finally have the opportunity to bypass the energy monopoly and spread the technology of free energy to the world. In addition to downloading the publicly available open-source plans, people may also be able to purchase a pre-manufactured unit from an affiliated firm, so the race is now on for independent engineers and citizens to verify the efficacy of this declared revolution in energy. Conclusion Given the decades-long propaganda campaign against free-energy, it will no doubt take some convincing to first prove to the public that harnessing cosmic or zero-point energy is possible, and then it will surely face amainstream media blackout as well as persecution from government and industry. Nevertheless, this is an exciting announcement and we challenge our readers to get the word out to help prove if this design is in fact what it claims to be. Please have a look at the plans for the QEG, and pass them along to anyone who may be able to assist in the effort to verify and proliferate this technology. Here is a video demonstration and explanation of the Quantum Energy Generator Related selfnews Post Article: Terence Newton is a staff writer for WakingTimes.com, where this first appeared, interested primarily with issues related to science, the human mind, and human consciousness. So do you have a working QEG yet or not? We got to get these real ideas out to the people and let people see them working in a home, and I dont mean a light bulb on a board, show it working the home as you claim it can and that I know can be done. Hell, Tesla made his work when there was nothing around to carry it around the country. 
3	Sandy: Katrina Redux?Stephen Lendman, Contributor In early 2001, FEMA predicted the three most likely US disasters. They included a terrorist attack on New York, a major San Francisco earthquake, and a hurricane and flood in New Orleans. Shaped like a bowl below sea level, unprotected areas didnt have a chance. Predatory capitalism took full advantage. Vulnerable poor Black communities suffered most. Levees were deliberately left weak. They were no match for hurricane strength winds. They reached landfall as a Category 3. Then Congressman Richard Baker said, We finally cleaned up public housing in New Orleans. We couldnt do it but God did. At the time, Common Ground Relief (CGR) co-founder Malik Rahim said: They wanted them poor niggers out of there and they aint had no intention to allow it to be reopened to no poor niggers, you know? And thats just the bottom line. Ethnic cleansing was long-planned. Katrina erased poor neighborhoods. Upscale condos and other high-profit projects on choice city land replaced them. Developers took full advantage. Political New Orleans and Bush administration officials provided generous support. Most displaced Blacks werent allowed back. They were no match for corporate predators and complicit politicians. Choice areas were redeveloped. Others were left barren. Residents got little help. For-profit projects were prioritized. In August 2012, Loyola University New Orleans Law Professor/Center for Constitutional Rights Legal Director Bill Quigley headlined Katrina Pain Index 2012: Seven Years Later, saying: New Orleans has the worlds highest prison rate. Louisiana imprisons more of its people, per head, than any of the other 50 states. One out of every seven Black men is in prison, on parole or on probation. New Orleans has the second highest US homeless and poverty rates in cities over 10,000 population. Income inequality is the highest in America. The city murder rate is nearly two and a half times the national average. It also has one of the nations highest crime rates. It ranks 11 on a scale of one to 100 (the safest). Police abuse is notorious. Poor Blacks are most vulnerable. Justice Department data includes scathing findings. Seven years post-Katrina, 35,700 abandoned or blighted homes and empty lots remain. They represent 21% of residential housing. A Princeton University study found many low income mothers still suffered post-traumatic stress systems in summer 2010. Fewer bus routes now exist. Half of all Black households are asset poor. They havent enough savings to survive three months without income. Around 65% of Black children are poor. Public school enrollment is way down. Charter school figures are the nations highest. Three years post-Katrina, Quigley said displaced residents got no rental financial aid. Rental homes werent repaired. Unaffordable housing rose to 46%. Destroyed or heavily damaged public housing wasnt rebuilt. Thousands of poor neighborhood homes were demolished to prevent residents from returning. Half the citys public schools were replaced by charter ones. About 75% were for-profit. Whites were favored. Blacks were shut out. Unionized school employees were fired. Selective rehiring offered less pay and few or no benefits. Displaced Blacks were entirely disenfranchised. Four of the 13 city Planning Districts remained as vulnerable to floods as pre-Katrina. About 25% of hospitals were lost. Around 38% fewer beds were available. Thousands still lived in temporary trailers. Many were displaced to other areas and not allowed back. The citys Black population was halved. Thousands of Black kids never returned to school. Quigleys Katrina Pain Index 2010 said: (T)ens of thousands of (New Orleans) homes.remain vacant or blighted. Tens of thousands of African American children who were in the public schools (arent) back, nor have their parents been able to return. The metro area lost over 140,000 people, the city itself over 100,000. Thousands of elderly and displaced people (were affected). Affordable housing is in short supply. Poor and low income people were most affected. Supply shortages affect schools, medical care, jobs, public assistance, and affordable housing. Three-fourths of public apartments were gone. Billions of dollars in promised aid never came. Funding instead went for luxury hotels, casinos, private clubs, the oil industry, and gentrification. Post-Katrina New Orleans metaphorically represents the worst of disaster capitalism. Will New York and other Sandy-impacted areas be next? Post-Katrina, the right-wing Heritage Foundation promoted predatory free-market ideas. They included: It called it a shameless attempt to politicize Sandy. The Times grossly exaggerated Obama administration federal disaster aid. New York coastal area residents got little. Two weeks after Sandy struck, hundreds of thousands lack power, heat, and other public services. Cost-cutting, under-investment, poor infrastructure, and indifference bear responsibility. One report called Staten Island the forgotten Borough. Residents say its closer to hell than any of them ever saw. A local firefighter called the island a dump. An area nurse said people will die from lack of heat and proper shelter. Another resident asked wheres FEMA or the Red Cross? Down here, its people helping people. The Times claimed Obama restored FEMA to working order. Neglected New Yorkers havent seen it. Heritage, of course, wants most government functions privatized. Other than major disasters, it wants no federal involvement post-tornadoes, fires, floods, snowstorms, severe storms, and similar events having no national impact. FEMA lacks key capabilities, said Heritage. Budget cuts and federal disinterest explain why. Obama wants FY 2013 disaster relief cut by $1 billion. On October 31, The Citadel visiting scholar in entrepreneurship Russell Sobel headlined The Free Market Can Do a Better Job, saying: FEMA and other federal initiatives dont work. At issue is central planning. Fixing disaster relief is simple: privatize, privatize, privatize. Business works better than government so let it. Government should stick to law enforcement and major public works repairs. Sobel advocates regulatory-free, tax incentivized free trade zones. So-called NGOs also have a role, he says. Most profiteer for themselves. Theyre predators, not humanitarians. Nearly all have entrenched bureaucracies. Their officials are highly paid. Their operating rules are secret. Their financing sources and amounts arent disclosed. They all claim non-profit status, yet operate unethically. They collude with governments or business interests. They profiteer handsomely, own unrelated businesses, and exploit people they claim to serve. Government should get largely out of the way, says Sobel. It should protect law and order, deregulate prices, secure property rights, decentralized markets, and let business operate freely. The Competitive Enterprise Institutes (CEI) Iain Murrayheadlined Hurricane Sandy, and the Invisible Hand of Recovery, saying: (D)isaster response provides an excellent example of how the invisible hand of the market works to alleviate suffering and bring quick relief to those in need. After getting the lights back on, let business take over. Emergency supplies are needed. Let Wal-Mart, Target, and other big box stores supply them. Mom-and-pop stores cant do what (they) can in these circumstances. Big government get(s) in the way. Environmental and other regulations, David Bacon, union rules, and similar impediments interfere with business operations and profits. Murray wants them scrapped. What about FEMA, he asked? Instead of helping, its bureaucracy and empire-building get in the way. Murrays solution is cut it down to a shadow of its current form. He and likeminded ideologues feel the same way about all government functions. Grover Norquist is notorious. He wants government shrunk in size to where he can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub. Murray stresses lean and mean. So do others like him. Freedom, they think, depends on it. Cut these people enough slack, and itll disappear altogether. Only wealth and power matter. Ordinary people are to be used, abused, and discarded when not needed. Its the American way.

1	MLB pitchers snuck out of their bunks well past lights-out Tuesday night, meeting at the Tampa Bay Rays training facility to rehearse a skit making fun of the league's catchers, a source speaking on the condition of anonymity confirmed. According to the source, the skit is scheduled to be performed in front of the catchers during mid-day snack the day before the rest of the league's position players officially report to camp. 'It's really, really funny,' the source said through giggling fits, adding that Tom Glavine pretending to be Jorge Posada pretending to be a woman is 'hilarious.' 'Also, the part where Pedro Martinez plays [American Idol host] Simon [Cowell], and he tears apart Jason Varitek's rendition of 'My Heart Will Go On' as performed by Josh Beckett is seriously the funniest thing I have ever seen.' The source told various media present that he had to get back to his camp, saying that if Coach Francona knew that he was out late instead of rehabilitating his right shoulder, he may lose pitching privileges for the entire season, $8 million, and would not be allowed to go tubing Friday. 
1	In an Ellen-like ploy for higher ratings, the producers of A&E's Biography have chosen to reveal the homosexuality of host Peter Graves. 'I am a gay man,' Graves announced Monday on the season-ending episode of Biography, which chronicled the life of silent film legend Buster Keaton. As clips from Keaton's film career were shown, Graves spoke of the joy he has long derived from the committed, loving relationship he enjoys with his longtime partner, Stan. 'I love my boyfriend Stan more than anything in the whole world,' Graves said. No sponsors pulled out of the show.

3	1960s Subliminal Video of National Anthem Hides MKULTRA Message to Obey GovernmentMelissa Melton INSTEAD, its filled with commands to OBEY GOVERNMENT and regard it as GOD. We break this video down sent to us by someone else who is awake and can SEE (hat tip to Michele Miles Gardiner!): Some have tried to debunk this. We sincerely hope someone will. Unfortunately, no one has yet, and all the evidence points to the film being 100% legitimate. In fact, multiple viewers have already informed us that they remember seeing this film on their televisions in not just the 1960s, but in the 1970s as well. While others have attempted to argue that this technique didnt really work so this video is therefore irrelevant, that is entirely NOT THE POINT. The point is that the government DID THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE. Think about how many times the average American may have seen this. Think about how many times this message was played on TVs throughout that time period, every night, night after night, when its late and people are just beginning to fall asleepfor years. Not only did the government attempt to brainwash the public en masse through their television sets to be obedient to government, but there are two references in here to actual government-run mind control projects perpetrated against the American people that were not declassified until the 1970s: MKULTRA and MKNAOMI. On record, these programs were covert trauma-based mind control operations run by the Central Intelligence Agencys Scientific Intelligence Division starting after World War II. Former President Bill Clinton even apologized for these projects back in 1995. While the CIA claims these programs were officially halted in 1973, some say there is proof they have never stopped, but instead have only gotten more sophisticated and gone deeper underground. Although the film came out decades earlier, this is straight out of the 1988 movie They Live, the sci-fi film where an elite ruling class has been mass mind controlling the general public to stay obedient and asleep with a subliminal message broadcasted through television signals. The words obey and consume are used, along with the tagline They livewe sleep. In the movie, a man is able to get a pair of sunglasses that allows him to break the programming and see through advertisements and the junk on TV to what is really going on: a mass controlling of the populace. They Live Obey, Consume, This is your God from phoebus on Vimeo. Are these programs really over? Good question. Consider the fact that, just last month, selfnews Post broke a story on leaked documents from the government research arm DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) about a secret mind control program currently going on right now: The aim of the program is to remotely disrupt political dissent and extremism by employing Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in tandem with sophisticated propaganda based on this technology. TMS stimulates the temporal lobe of the brain with electromagnetic fields. And thats just one example of many government projects regarding the control of our brains. Who do we really pledge our allegiance to? Heres the subliminal message hidden in (ironically or not) our national anthem in the 1960s-era video above: 
1	Filling a large number of bags with sand and then placing them side by side next to a body of water remains the nation's most sophisticated method for flood prevention, a two-month FEMA study concluded Tuesday. According to FEMA's findings, floodsnatural disasters that have occurred since the beginning of time yet still destroy hundreds of American homes each yearare most often combated by scooping clumps of sand into burlap sacks and binding them with pieces of twine. 'Perhaps bigger bags are the answer,' FEMA head R. David Paulison said. The second-most effective U.S. anti-flood technology remains getting in the car and driving to an area that is not currently being flooded. 
2	Watching Buzz Aldrin Punch A Liberal In The Face Just Made Our Day Buzz Aldrin has been most widely recognized for being the first NASA astronaut who walked on the moon in the 1969 lunar landing. While this is his claim to fame, he is also a veteran USAF fighter pilot who served in the Korean War. While most of us respect a track record like that, some American liberals, like Bart Sibrel for instance, have very little respect for the veteran hero. In 2002, Sibrel began yelling at Buzz, claiming that the landing was fake. He continued to harass and disrespect him, following him around his hotel. At first, Buzz chose to take the high road, staying calm and asking for help, and even calling the police. Still, when Sibrel began calling Buzz a coward, it was the straw that broke the camels back. Watch the video below to see what happened. UPDATE: Sorry the video has been removed. 
1	According to an ad in a March issue of Bon Appetit magazine lying around dermatologist Dr. Ira Haas' waiting room, March was, apparently, Women's History Month. 'I had no idea,' said Gail Travis, who happened to come across the ad, which read, 'Join Almay In Celebrating Women's History Month,' while waiting to see Haas. 'That's the first I'd heard of it. Oh, well, guess I missed it.' People across the nation are equally surprised. 'Are you sure? I thought it was Black History Month,' said Timothy Durkee of Wayzata, MN. 'Or maybe that was February.' Liz Unger, CEO of Almay Cosmetics and co-chair of the Women's History Month Project, described the month-long celebration of 'women's remarkable contributions through the ages' as an 'unqualified success.' 
2	Teenage Girl Burned Alive By Black Gang, No Media Outrage If you want proof of the double standard that exists in our country, then look no further than the story of Jessica Chambers. You probably arent familiar with it, because the media did not use it to incite protests throughout the country. That is probably because 19-year-old Jessica was a white woman who was attacked and accosted by a gang of 17 black men. The story doesnt exactly align with the medias narrative. But we think it is worth reporting that this teenage girl was burned alive by 17 men. Chambers had disappeared from a gas station while she was filling up her car with gas. Her body was found a few miles from the station. She had been doused in gasoline and burned alive. Fortunately, these thugs will see their day in court. The FBI has rounded up all 17 gang members, and were praying that they see the justice they deserve. Stories like this one cannot be ignored, no matter how much the mainstream media tries to. What do you think? Will you speak out for Jessica Chambers? 
1	Local fans admitted today they have no clue why they desperately want a former star player to manage their favorite team next year, saying that if they looked at the situation rationally, he really has no managerial experience whatsoever. 'I guess I really like the idea of him putting on the uniform again, but I think that's only because it reminds me of how much I cheered for him when he was a player, and has pretty much nothing to do with his actual coaching ability,' said fan Michael Hugel, adding that for some reason he would be happier if the job went to the former player as opposed to somebody he's never heard of, even if the unknown person was clearly better suited for the position. 'It's not like [the former player] would be playing. He would just be sitting there making decisions he's probably not qualified to make. Yet I still think it would pretty cool. Why am I being so irrational?' Hugel later added that hiring the former player would be worth it for the moment when his name is announced on opening day. 
2	Welfare Recipients In This State Just Received Horrible News According to recent reports, and Illinois legislator has just introduced new measures designed to crackdown on welfare recipients in an attempt to eliminate welfare abuse. The legislature was sponsored by Republican State Rep. Bill Mitchell. We need to pass strong welfare reforms to put a stop to the waste, fraud and abuse in the welfare system, Mitchell said in a statement. With 4.7 million Illinoisans on welfare, more than one-third of our citizens are receiving taxpayer-funded benefits. We simply cannot afford to do nothing. Mitchell is also calling for legislation to block undocumented immigrants from receiving government assistance. Welfare should not be a way of life, nor should it be generational, he continued. Big government has institutionalized poverty by massively expanding the welfare state, which is cruel to the people it entraps and further disincentivizes work. Mitchell claims that the current system has a 10 percent fraud rate. What do you think? Do you support these new measures? 
3	The Goal Is To Destroy All Constitutional CultureBrandon Smith The problem with this civic philosophy is that the general public is left without peripheral vision and unequipped to comprehend that there is a process in motion, an overarching plan that is eating away at the edges of our liberty from every angle, one small piece at a time. That is to say, we have been conditioned to obsess over the pieces and ignore the plan. I want you to imagine the globalist establishment and the useful socialist idiots it employs as a hive of ants lurking in the grass around a bountiful picnic basket you (or your forefathers) worked very hard to procure. Now, one ant snatches a single crumb and races away, and you think to yourself that losing that one crumb is not such a sacrifice. A few more ants pilfer crumbs, and you shrug it off. A dozen more arrive, and you start to worry a little but are still too lazy to pull out the Raid. The rest of the hive sees your apathy and attacks, gobbling everything in a swarm of single-minded destruction. Left with nothing, you sit dumbfounded and hungry, wondering where you went wrong. The truth is, you went wrong with the first ant. Not only are personal wealth and property ransacked by the collective in this way, but also personal freedom. Their goal is not to introduce greater understanding or awareness. It is not about public good or public safety. And at the very core, it is not about truth. If they cared about truth or principle and if their objectives were honorable, they would not feel the need to constantly lie, cheat, steal, manipulate and threaten in an effort to impose their own worldview on the rest of us. If their purpose was as righteous as they pretend, then deceit and subversion should be beneath them. Their philosophy should be able to carry itself, without their convoluted efforts. The power elites and the people who blindly follow them are not interested in being on the right side. They are interested only in being on the winning side, and the two are certainly not the same. In the end, the result they covet most is not to achieve compromise on Constitutional ideals, but to achieve total and unequivocal destruction of those ideals. They seek to erase our heritage from history, along with those of us who value it. They want to annihilate Constitutional culture. Through the efforts of the liberty movement, many Americans are now at least loosely aware of such issues as the National Defense Authorization Act, which allows the designation of anyone including American citizens as enemy combatants subject to the laws of war, thus destroying the Constitutional right to due process and trial by jury. They have witnessed the vicious trampling of the 4th Amendment and our right to privacy through legislation like the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. They have been confronted with the gross tyranny of Barack Obamas executive assassination lists and predator drone fetish. They are aware of the existence of Department of Defense efforts to remove all vestiges of Posse Comitatus and allow standing military authority in the United States through the U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM). All of these things are clearly part of a violent war on our Constitutional rights, but what about the more subtle poison being introduced under the surface? The first place to look is always in your childs school. In Duvall County, Fla., the father of a 10-year-old boy discovered his son had been asked by a teacher to write and sign this statement as part of a school project: I am willing to give up some of my constitutional rights in order to be safer or more secure. When questioned on the purpose of directing fourth-graders to sign such a statement, the school district argued that the students participated in the activity of their own free will and that the lesson was designed to create an awareness of the five rights contained in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and help students determine their opinions on which rights they value most and least. First of all, lets be honest; I went through public schooling, and anyone else who went through it knows as well as I do that almost nothing within the public school system is treated as voluntary. Threats, fearmongering and mob mentality are all used by State teachers all across the country daily to manipulate and terrorize children into submitting to the program. As a nostalgic refresher, re-examine the incident in a North Carolina school in which a teacher screamed down a student who criticized Obama, claiming that people could be arrested for speaking ill of the President. Secondly, if the teacher in Duvall County was looking to encourage students to think critically about their Constitutional rights, then perhaps it would have been helpful to educate them on what those rights are. Unfortunately, the children had not been given practical lessons on their rights before being asked to abandon them for safety. This is a perfect example of the indoctrination process in action. While the gun rights issue has brought the politicization of public schools out in the open, with federalized education centers punishing children across the Nation for merely playing with imaginary guns or talking about toy guns, the real target is not the gun issue for the establishment. The real target is all Constitutional thought. Perhaps this is why the methodology of home-schooling has been so demonized by the mainstream, and why Ron Pauls latest home-schooling initiative is already being attacked as Christian fundamentalism. The real reason the establishments panties are in a twist is simple; they do not like the idea of parents being able to compose their childs own curriculum and, thus, remove anti-Constitutional conditioning from their daily lives. The erasure of Constitutional culture has spread far beyond schooling, however. The city of New Rochelle, N.Y., has demanded a local veterans post take down its Gadsden flag, a flag in existence since the Revolutionary War, because it has been adopted as a symbol of the Tea Party. The city council, led by Democratic Mayor Noam Bramson, voted to remove the flag after voicing concerns about the flags message. Obama sycophant and hardcore big-government mouthpiece Bill Maher this week stated that the left (neo-liberals) needs to stop being afraid of its true goal in the gun debate to dissolve the 2nd Amendment rather than play at compromise. Im so sorry, but this is the problem with the gun debate it is that its a constant center-right debate, Maher said. Theres no left in this debate. Everyone on the left is so afraid to say what should be said, which is the Second Amendment is bullshit. Why doesnt anyone go at the core of it? My response would be: Yes, please do admit your true goals, gun grabbers and opponents of civil liberties. At least be honest about your fascist intentions so that we can stop playing games and have a real eye to eye debate (or fight) on the subject. And finally, NASCAR has come under siege by anti-2nd Amendment legislators as well as the media in general for allowing the National Rifle Association to endorse races. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) called on broadcasters to block transmissions of the NRA 500 because it would bring national attention to gun rights while the Senate is legislating for gun control(which, in his opinion, is bad). Perhaps this is purely coincidental, but the timing of this stance against NASCARs support of gun culture has arisen right as Oath Keepers, a Constitutional organization dedicated to teaching current serving military, veterans and law enforcement about civil liberties and the affirmation of their oath, announced it is working with racecar driver Jeffrey Earnhardt to bring anOath Keepers-sponsored vehicle to the NASCAR track. While some people may not care less about NASCAR or even the 2nd Amendment, I would point out that through the gun issue, the establishment is ultimately undermining the holy grail of the 1st Amendment. If gun rights speech and culture can be silenced in the name of safety or compassion, then why not any other belief? This problem of selective free-speech has now been exacerbated by the Boston Marathon Bombings. Oath Keepers had planned and already received a permit for a high-profile rally at Lexington Green in Massachusetts (a public venue where one should not need a permit to rally anyway), but the bombings opened the door for the Lexington Board (one member had been trying to undermine the rally from its inception) to revoke the event. The excuse given was, of course, that it was for everyones safety, and that not enough police were available to secure it. Though, a secondary event in a nearby town remains approved with little to no trouble. The right to free speech is NOT subject to the intensity of the times, it is sacrosanct. Period. However, many in government today believe that they can rescind our Constitutional liberties whenever the public is distracted enough by disaster. Incidents like these by themselves do not necessarily seem like an imminent threat to the freedoms of average citizens; but, taken together as a flurry of strategic movements, they represent a full spectrum attack on the very pillars of our founding structure. Throughout history, when conquerors wished to fully dominate a population, they would seek to slowly subsume the peoples mythology and principles. They would attempt to co-opt cultural ideas and values, twisting them into something completely different or wiping them from memory altogether. When the people lose their traditions and heritage, they become easier to mold and rule. This is exactly what is happening in the United States today: an ideological colonization that views Constitutional life as a mortal enemy and hopes to obliterate it from the pages of time.

2	Hewitt Calls Hillary Clinton A Liar On Live TV [VIDEO] In a recent segment, conservative talk radio show host Hugh Hewitt criticized presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for blatantly deceiving and lying to the American public. During the debate on Saturday night, Hillary claimed that ISIS was using video of Donald Trump to recruit new members. Fact-checkers have proven that allegation to be false. Chris, theres only one take: Hillary Clinton lied, Hewitt told CNN host Chris Cuomo on New Day. She lied again; she invented a second video narrative which has nothing to do with the truth. Shes been fact checked on this claim by The Washington Post and The New York Times. Hillary Clinton compulsively lied in a situation where it was not necessary he continued. This was a completely unforced, unnecessary launch into falsehood. There is no video, no video exists. That shows she does not have the capacity to stay briefed, to stay focused, to be prepared, Hewitt concluded. I say it again, I hate to say this because its blunt; she is a liar. That video does not exist, and she owes Donald Trump an apology. What do you think? Do you agree with Hewitt? Does Hillary need to stay far, far away from the White House? 
2	Judge Denies Muslims Lawsuit Against Advertisement That The Quran Is Anti Semitic President Obama continues to argue that Islam is not a threat to America, but time and time again we are seeing instances of Muslims attempting to introduce Shariah Law to America. Fortunately, there are some courts that arent afraid to stand behind American values and traditional. In a recent case in Pennsylvania, a group of Muslims from Philadelphia attempted to shut down a political add that spotlights Islamic Jew-hated and urges the United States to cut off foreign aid to Muslim countries. The ad was created by the American Freedom Defense Initiatives co-found Pamela Geller. The ad was designed to bring awareness to the true nature of Islam to all of Philadelphia. Geller was reportedly inspired to make the ad after the city publicly honored Laila Ghannam, who is known for being a terrorist sympathizer. Gellers controversial ad featured Adolf Hitler meeting with Palestinian leader Hajj Amin al-Husseini. The ad received immediate backlash, with the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority filing a lawsuit on behalf of Muslims, claiming that it violates civility standards. They also argued that the ad puts every single Muslim in the same category of being a Jew hater. The lawsuit was quickly dismissed by U.S. District Judge Mitchell S. Goldberg, who described the SETAs attempts as a principled attempt to limit hurtful, disparaging advertisements. What do you think of the lawsuit? Do you agree with the Judges decision? 
3	That Time HRWs Ken Roth Contradicted Himself Twice In 4 Days Over SyriaBy Brandon Turbeville Kenneth Roth, however, appears to be in a race with his own organization to see who can discredit and/or humiliate him/itself the most. Obviously banking on the short attention span of his audience, Roths Twitter account has now become a display of hypocrisy, propaganda, and contradictions ripe for mockery for anyone who visits it. For instance, going back over a year, Roth tweeted an absurd statement that Assad released jihadist Zahran Alloush from jail June 2011 part of effort to taint uprising. Roth thus suggested the conspiracy theory that Bashar al-Assad released the Jaish al-Islam terrorist Alloush so that Alloush would radicalize the opposition (who were already slaughtering and torturing civilians as well as demanding extreme Sharia law) so that he could then crack down on the opposition (which he was allegedly already cracking down on) and use the radical nature of the opposition to justify his crackdown. Roth is suggesting that Assad would multiply and militarize a peaceful revolution he was already cracking down upon for public relations. This is a difficult pill to swallow unless the audience is inhabiting a place located as far away from reality as Roth himself. Kenneth Roth (@KenRoth) December 30, 2015 The previous tweet came only days after Roth tweeted another gem. This time, he said, Killing Zahran Alloush is part of Assad strategy of trying to reduce choice to him or ISIS. Here, Roth is compounding and contradicting his own conspiracy theory since he seems to suggest that Alloush was a moderate and thus part of the moderate opposition he later claimed Alloush was intentionally released in order to poison. This is a man who led Jaish al-Islam, an organization notorious for rapes, torture, beheadings, and other acts of savagery against both the Syrian military and civilians. Only days before, however, Roth claimed Alloush was a poison pill of terrorism, suggesting that he was a moderate leading moderates. Kenneth Roth (@KenRoth) December 26, 2015 The question for Mr. Roth then becomes, Which conspiracy theory do you really believe? The first or the second? Do you believe either of them? We certainly dont. Roths inconsistency is not atypical of Western Soros-backed humanitarian organizations or of the mainstream media. But how can anyone take Roth or Human Rights Watch seriously when he and his organization engage in such obvious pro-war propaganda. Even more so, how can either be taken seriously when their propaganda becomes so inconsistent and contradictory within a matter of days? Of course, this is not the first embarrassingly obvious fail for Human Rights Watch or for Ken Roth. On February 25, HRW posted a photo of a devastated civilian area in Syria with the tagline Syria dropped barrel bombs despite ban. The ban HRW is referring to is the ban on bombing civilian areas that applies to both sides in Aleppo after the United Nations stepped in to save the Western-backed terrorists from annihilation. Assads forces had surrounded the city and had cut off a major supply route for the death squads from Turkey thus making the ultimate elimination of the jihadist forces a virtual inevitability. There was only one problem with HRWs tweet the photograph the organization provided was not Aleppo. In fact, the damage that had been wrought upon the civilian area in the photograph was not committed by the Syrian military but by the United States. The photo was actually a picture of Kobane (Ayn al-Arab), the city which has been the site of heavy US aerial bombardment over the last several months as the US engages in its program of death squad herding and geographical reformation of sovereign Syrian and Iraqi territory. But, while HRW was content to use the destruction of the city as a reason to condemn the Assad government and continue to promote the cause for US military action in Syria, the human rights organization was apparently much less interested in the exact same destruction wrought by US forces. In other words, if Assads forces bomb a civilian area into the stone age, it is an atrocity, a war crime, and justification for international military involvement. If the United States bombs a civilian area into the stone age, its no biggie. Partially funded by George Soros, Human Rights Watch has repeatedly shilled for NATO and Americas imperialist aims, particularly in Syria. For instance, when Western media propaganda had reached a crescendo regarding the outright lie that Assad had used chemical weapons against his own people, HRW stood right beside Barack Obama and John Kerry in their effort to prove Assads guilt. HRW even went so far as to repeat the lie that the UN report suggested that Assad was the offending party, driving the final nail into the coffin of any credibility HRW may have had. When a last-minute chemical weapons deal was secured by Russia in an effort to avoid yet another US/NATO invasion of Syria, HRW did not rejoice for the opportunity of peaceful destruction of chemical weapons and a chance to avoid war, it attacked the deal by claiming that it failed to ensure justice. Of course, the deal did fail to ensure justice. There were no provisions demanding punishment of the death squads who actually used the weapons or the US/NATO apparatus that initiated and controlled the jihadist invasion to begin with. Regardless, when Mother Agnes Mariam of the Cross released her report that refuted what the US/NATO was asserting in regards to chemical weapons in Syria, HRW embarked upon a campaign of attack against her and her work. Even as far back as 2009, however, HRW was showing its true colors when it apparently signed off on and supported renditions the process of kidnapping individuals off the street without any due process and rendering them to jails and prisons in other countries where they are often tortured in secret talks with the Obama administration. If HRW ever had any credibility in terms of the question of actual human rights, all of that credibility has assuredly been lost. HRW is nothing more than a pro-US, pro-NATO NGO that acts as a smokescreen for the continuation of the violation of human rights across the world that is, unless those violations are committed by Americas enemies. HRW and Kenneth Roth must now be remembered as exactly what they are a fake humanitarian running a fake humanitarian organization for the benefit of Western corporations, banks, and the U.S. State Department. Roth and HRW have made sure to drive the last nail into the coffin of whatever credibility they might have had. When the dust settles in Syria, both Roth and HRW should be publicly tarred and feathered in the press for their cynical deception of genuinely well-meaning people into supporting the Western-backed proxy war that has taken so many lives and decimated an entire country. In the meantime, they should be allowed to wither on the poisoned vine of Western propaganda along with the rest of the Western corporate media.

2	Black Lives Matter Thugs Do The UNTHINKABLE To Girl... Watch What Happens Next [VIDEO] President Barack Obama and his liberal buddies have been working hard to push the one-sided story that black people in America are the only victims of hate crimes. Videos like this one, however, tell a very different story. Just last week, two teenage sisters were assaulted while leaving a Red Robin restaurant in Stockton, California. Why? Because they were white. CBS Local reported that a group of Black Lives Matter protesters were holding a vigil to remember Colby Friday, the African-American man who was shot and killed by Stockton police in August after he ignored demands from officers that he drop his handgun. The two white girls were simply walking past the protest when rioters attack them. The girls later told authorities they felt the attack was certainly racially motivated. Our understanding is that it involved several out-of-towners whose intent was more than protesting, Ron Freitas, the Assistant District Attorney for San Joaquin County told reporters. We are disappointed, but we are moving forward to get down to the bottom of this. Police are still trying to locate the attackers, and a $10,000 reward is being offered for any information that leads to an arrest. Of course, the mainstream media is ignoring this incident. Watch the video below if you want to see what theyre hiding. 
2	BREAKING: Mexican Drug Cartel Beheads Two Captives In Message To America WARNING: The content below is graphic in nature. In some graphic footage that was recently released, a Mexican drug cartel viciously beheads two prisoners with chainsaws. The incident was captured on film. The disturbing video opens with the cartel giving their captives a moment to say their final words, but within three minutes it takes an ugly turn. The men are brutally executed. Although the video is not pleasant, it does serve as a reminder of what happens just south of our border, and what might happen in the United States if we decide to invite illegal immigrants in with open arms. UPDATE: We apologize, but the video has been taken down. 
2	WATCH: GOP Official Goes After Trump, Latino Fan Walks Up Humiliates Her According to recent reports, a bright young legal immigrant from Mexico stole the show at an Anaheim City Council meeting in California. The group had gathered to discuss a resolution by councilwoman and GOP official Kris Murray to denounce Donald Trump over his alleged racism. I am 24 years old, my parents came here from Mexico in the early-1980s and I am a Trump supporter, the man announced. I am not offended by Donald Trumps statements. He has said nothing racist or disparaging about Latinos. The man went on to criticize Murray for her obsession with political correctness. I am deeply offended by your campaign, since you subscribe to the liberal narrative that minorities need to be cuddled and protected by the governmentas if we are incapable of looking out of ourselves, as if we are weak and thin-skinned, as if we are children, he commented. The man went on to argue that liberals are perhaps one of the most harmful groups for minorities. The problem with liberals is that they lay claim to helping minorities, but rarely help them, he argued. Liberals are always full of good motives, but support legislation and policy that harms, not helps, minorities. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Finally, he argued that Murrays motivations for proposing the anti-Trump bill because she wanted to save face to tourists who spend a fortune while visiting Anaheim. Ms. Murray, you dont care about Latinos and minorities, he concluded. Stop lying! Stop race-baiting! And stop trying to destroy America Again! Thank you. After more than five hours of public comment, the resolution was ultimately tabled. 
3	A world already ended on December 21...2007: Writing ContestPoppy woke up to an empty house save only for a virtual stranger. I still cant imagine what sort of a whirlwind was taking place in her impressionable mind. For three years she had been the center of her own universe. Mummy, Daddy, and me, and the world had been perfect. It had already been infiltrated by a relatively unseen force as Mums tummy began to expand, but no amount of advance warning could prepare the poor child for the devastating reality of another small person muscling in and occupying the same space, demanding the attention of her property and to have that reality driven home with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer blow by having it preceded by a house devoid of any family members at all . . . well . . . is it any wonder that something decoupled in her psyche. Through a series of interconnected coincidences I was led to reflect on my own upbringing. With the help of a photograph of my eight-year-old self I began to look back over events and experiences in my own life. I revisited certain pivotal happenings and questioned how they had moulded my world-view, how they had made me feel about myself and the effect they had on my attitude to those around me. I saw that everything in the present was viewed through the prism of the past. As I reflected on past events, and reinterpreted those events with a clearer vision, my whole world began to change. Something inside of me began to die. The old personality the unreal me, the person I thought I needed to be in order to survive this world began to wither away and fade. He was being replaced by the real me the authentic me. The better I began to understand myself, the easier it became to forgive myself. Forgiveness is a happy byproduct of understanding. Forgiveness means to let things go, and throw off the burden of resentment and bitterness. Along with this freedom came freedom from the need to believe in apocalyptic visions. I could no longer subscribe to a way of life that demanded adherence to a body of religious codes. I began to write about my spiritual awakening and was rewarded by being expelled from the church I belonged to. I am dead to them . . . and yet, I am reborn. Not many of us are real. The real you lies buried under a mountain of guilt, grief, and shame. From birth onwards, lifes experiences have served to suppress the authentic you and allow place for the inauthentic a person who has built up a system of beliefs and habits as a way of coping with lifes traumas. It is the person you think you need to be in order to get by in life. It happens to all of us. We dont need to go through dramatic or horrific events even the smallest adjustment can have a profound effect. We are tossed about and stripped in ways we dont understand at the time. We imagine we shrug them off and put them behind us, when all we are doing is finding ways to cope. Until we go back and confront these personal realities we will only ever be living as the person who is coping. The problem you face is that the unreal you is blind. He cannot see. He has buried the real you by digging a hole. Climbing out of the hole is half the battle. Climbing out is recognising the problem. Moving the mountain is doing something about the problem. Looking inwards is not easy, it presents monumental challenges. It means shining a light into the darkest corners of the soul, uncovering things we would prefer to keep hidden. That kind of exertion could kill a man. But, of course, that is what you want to do. The unreal you needs to die in order for the real you to live. The authentic self does not live in fear or anxiety. The authentic self is able to view the world for what it is without any disturbance to ones internal harmony; it can clearly see mans inhumanity to man without ones vision becoming clouded by the demand for justice, or the need to return evil for evil. However, words like these will not help. It is impossible to convey the difference to life when it is lived as the authentic self. A convincing argument cannot be made it has to be experienced. And until it is experienced nothing else will make sense. One day Poppy is going to have to discover all of this for herself. Her world might have changed on December 21, 2007, but it doesnt mean that her real self needs to remain buried forever.

1	In an incident under heavy investigation by Secret Service officials, President Clinton was tagged late yesterday afternoon, spray-painted across the chest by a member of the E. Street Kingz, a notorious D.C. street gang. The latest in a series of graffiti strikes in the ongoing war between the Kingz and their rival gang, the Deth Ro Niggaz, the tagging caused an estimated $350 in damages to Clintons suit and officially marked the President as Kingzs turf. President Clinton, moments after a surprise tagging by the E. Street Kingz, paused on the Capitol steps to take questions from the media. It was the first presidential tagging since the Harding Administration. We are shocked and disturbed by this serious breach of presidential security, White House chief of security Alan Watkins said. We are taking every possible step to protect the President in the future, including coating him with a paint-resistant shellac. The incident marked the first crime committed against a President since Ronald Reagan was raped by David James Pelphrey in 1986. According to reports, shortly after 3 p.m., an unidentified member of the E. Street Kingz snuck past White House guards and spray-painted a red, backwards ESKthe gangs symbolacross Clintons chest. The unidentified gang member escaped through the South Lawn gate by telling guards that he was Secretary of State Warren Christopher. According to Washington-area gang experts, with the tagging, President Clinton has officially become part of the Kingzs territory. This is a major coup for the Kingz, said Jerry Lloyd, head of the D.C. Task Force on Gang Activities. Having the most powerful man in the world in their corner should help the Kingz tremendously in their ongoing battle with the Deth Ro Niggaz. Lloyd expects the gang to start Clinton off as a runner, relaying drugs and running errands for senior Kingz members, such as G. Dogg and Shorty Mack. Clinton will certainly be doing some drug smuggling, Lloyd said. But mostly he will be making runs to the corner store, purchasing snack chips and malt liquor for the fellas. When informed of the Kingzs plans for him, Clinton stood firm. I refuse to give props to these men, he said. I am the President of the United States, and I will not be played. Clinton added he was not fronting. Clinton, who rushed over to the Capitol shortly after the incident, still had traces of red paint on his chin and right cheek. I am saddened and disappointed by the senseless vandalism of my neck, face and chest, Clinton said yesterday afternoon. According to FBI officials, if caught, the offending gang member would be forced to clean the president from head to toe. Vandalism of this sort is no joke, FBI spokesman Louis Freeh said. When we catch this kid, hes going to hose the president off and scrub him down good with a stiff brush. I dont want to see a single spot left on Clinton. Freeh added that if the Kingz are not stopped, they may attempt to spray- paint a larger mural on Clinton. This time, they didnt get a chance to do much more than a quick tag, Freeh said. But now that theyve had a taste of success, and true to the graffiti artists credo, I certainly wouldnt rule out the possibility of them coming back for a much bigger, full-body mural. A colorful scene of Kingz greatness. To counter the Kingz move, the Deth Ro Niggaz have set their sights on Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping, who will visit Washington this summer. If the Niggaz could somehow tag Xiaoping, they would virtually control D.C., Lloyd said. Theres no other gang in the city that would have 1.3 billion disciplined Asian foot soldiers at their disposal. They would be very difficult to stop. 
3	Germany Should Quit the Euro and Use Gold As MoneyDavid Redick On August 24, Bloomberg.com wrote; European Central Bank President Mario Draghi may wait until Germanys Constitutional Court rules on the legality of Europes permanent bailout fund (the European Stability Mechanism ESM) before unveiling full details of his plan to buy government bonds. Time is short for German leaders to decide! The USA and other nations like to kick the can down the road and continue hopeless propping of their failing fiat currencies, but Germany must decide now. To stimulate their thinking about using gold as money, I sent the letter below to Chancellor Angela Merkel, with copies to her Finance Minister W. Schaeuble, and Frank Schaeffler, a member of parliament and the finance leader of the Free Democratic Party. He has been a strong opponent of using Germany to bailout other nations. I also sent them a copy of my book Monetary Revolution USA(it includes a plan to convert the US monetary system to gold as money), and my November 30, 2011 essay A Three Step Plan to Save the Euro with Gold. The situation has gotten so much worse since my Nov-2011 essay, I now recommend that Germany quit the Euro and take the lead by using gold as money (with weight of gold as the unit of account for pricing and payments). Here is my August 27 letter: Dear Chancellor Merkel: I enclose my book Monetary Revolution-USA, and my essay Save the Euro with Gold for your consideration. Both describe the benefits of the gold standard (which history shows ALWAYS brings more peace, prosperity, employment, and stability) and a plan for conversion from the present fiat currency. As an introduction, my bio is on page 135 of the book. The world knows that you and Germany face an historic decision soon on whether to, 1) Continue bailing out the Euro and other nations, or 2) Be a leader and convert the Euro (or a new Deutsche Mark) to be redeemable in gold. Better yet, drop the names and use gold as money, with weight as the unit of account for pricing (paper notes and base-metal token coins can be used for convenience, but must be redeemable by any bearer on demand), and allow private mints. I predict that if Germany goes to the gold standard, all other nations,(including the USA and China) will soon follow, because most Sellers will not accept their trash fiat paper for payment. Germany is big enough to start the process, and although there will be initial whining from nations and banks that wanted more bailouts, the above benefits will soon show. These have always been the results in history (your Ludwig Erhardts conversion to sound money and free-market pricing in 1948 is an example). The politicians and bankers in other nations will keep propping up their currencies until they fail, but you face a need to decide soon. PLEASE make the most of it and go to GOLD. If no other EU nations join you, then do it alone, and make good history! Thanks for reading. I will appreciate your comments. Sincerely, David Redick With the worlds fourth largest economy, a stable government, and second only to the USA with about 3,400 tonnes of gold, Germany is well postured to be a leader that others will follow. Credit goes to Patrick Barron, an Adjunct Instructor in Austrian Economics at the University of Iowa (patrickbarron.blogspot.com, PatrickBarron@msn.com ) for originating the idea of focusing on Germany to take the lead. How Germany Can Convert to Gold as Money Here are the key steps (which applies to ALL nations!): 1. Terminate use of the Euro 2. Use gold as money, with weight of gold (with a stated fineness in carats) as the unit of account for pricing goods and services, with no names such as Deutsche Mark (Note: Politicians like names so they can change the amount of gold backing in order to inflate. Thus the DM name may be imposed, but it is critical to have redeemability for a certain weight of gold!) End legal tender laws, and allow private mints. The mints would issue, a) coins with gold content (typically a disc in the center), and b) paper notes and token coins (base metal) that would be redeemable for gold by bearer on demand. The only government role would be to verify the amount of gold reserves each mint claims to hold for redemption. Silver and other metals could be used, based on market demand, with no fixed ratio of value to gold. Some people and banks will call this chaos, but it is in fact choice, which gives incentive for mints to provide a good product. These choices that will determine which mints and metals are used the most. Mints will compete by touting their strong reserves (ratio of money issued vs reserves), market usage, etc. Todays government monopolies give no choice and money that is losing value. 3, End the central bank. This will end most of the control that elite banking and industry leaders and politicians use to abuse the monetary system to their advantage (fees for exclusive rights to sell government securities, interest on money they create and sell to the government -which pays them with securities-, lender of last resort, bailouts, fund wars, etc.) 4, End government deposit insurance. This will cause depositors to wake up and consider the solvency of banks they use. Weak banks would lose customers; a positive incentive for banks to avoid excess risk and low reserves, which are the major causes of failing banks worldwide. Private insurance may become available, and would be priced in relation to the banks strength, and paid for by the depositor. Once the new gold money is introduced, I predict all nations will soon follow in converting to their own gold money as their fake money is refused as payment by Sellers and Lenders. In this case, good money drives out bad; the reverse of Greshams Law. This would end the justification by governments for money-control schemes that central banks, the IMF, and the BIS pursue worldwide. These changes are all based on free market incentive and reality, not laws or G-20 style legal agreements: 1. The concept of a reserve currency would no longer be needed because any gold-based money would be accepted in world trade, or for bank reserves, if there was confidence it could be redeemed for gold 2. When most nations convert to gold money, the concept of a price for gold will vanish. The reverse will occur, as coins or notes are valued in the weight of gold they contain or represent, and Sellers advertise prices in grams (milli, micro?) or ounces of gold, 3. The foreign exchange business (Forex) with banks will wither and die as it becomes useless, as will government manipulation of the gold market (such as the Exchange Stabilization Fund in the US) 4. People like to give names to money (DM, Dollar, Franc, etc.), but these would be social terms and would not need to appear on the money (but weight of gold would), unless the minter chooses to do so. Weight of gold will be the unit of account. 5. Nations will convert to gold money on their own terms, as and when needed. There will be no need for grand conferences (G20, G100?) to set rules, although some Agreements may occur, and then whither when the rules become onerous and counterproductive. 6. There will be no weak or strong currencies or pegs, all of which were part of the manipulations in the past. Gold will be the great equalizer and honest broker. The games will be over (and most of the wars). 7. In the present system of constant inflation, borrowers have the advantage of repaying loans with depreciated (less value) money, but with gold as money (by weight) its value may increase during the term of the loan, thus giving the lender an advantage of being paid in a weight that is more valuable. I predict that loan terms will be developed to adjust for this, because both borrowers and lenders will demand it. The likelihood of appreciation will also be a positive incentive to save more, and borrow less. When all major nations convert to gold, we can expect the following benefits when the new gold money becomes legal. History will smile on Germany for being the leader. 1. More Peace: Wars are very expensive. The absence of an unlimited supply of fake money will inhibit the starting of wars; Diplomacy will be used instead. Imperialistic aggressors will have trouble getting funded. 2. More Prosperity: Gold money will increase in purchasing power if percent economic growth exceeds the percent addition of newly mined gold. Savings will be rewarded, and more money (purchasing power) will be available for investments. Managers can plan better with stable currency. 3. Less Government: Governments need money to grow. Taxation has its limits, and in the absence of the unlimited supply of fake money, government programs, staffing, and spending will be limited. There will be less intervention in, and control of, our lives and work. More Liberty, Peace, and Prosperity will be the dividends. 4. Fewer and Smaller Business Cycles and Depressions: The highs of major business cycles are caused by bad investments due to excess availability of money (credit and currency); too many new dollars chasing a limited number of deals, many of which are high risk. The incentive is to do something with the excess money. When the pool of money is reduced (Fed cutbacks) the frenzy drops like a rock. With a limited supply of real gold money, any frenzies would soon run out of money to feed them, and the cycles would be small or none. 6. Fewer Sovereign Defaults and No Currency Devaluations: In the past, many nations have defaulted (stopped payments) on some or all of their debt when they became overburdened, and then devalued (reduced face value) their currency to increase exports (lower prices). This robs lenders, and holders of the currency, but lets the nation enjoy a fresh-start, hopefully with reduced government spending and fewer anti-business laws. Argentina in 2002 is a recent example. When gold is money, the devalue option ends, which should give politicians and citizens incentive to keep their laws and economy more competitive. This new attitude will also reduce the excessive spending that leads to defaults. You can support this information by voting on Reddit HERE linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	Larry The Cable Guy Attacks Medias Portrayal Of Working Class Americas [VIDEO] Comedian Daniel Lawrence Whitney, better known as Larry the Cable Guy, recently made an appearance on The Gavin McInnes Show during which he heavily criticized the mainstream medias portrayal of Americas working class. During the interview, Whitney argued that the media is often disappointed and hateful when those who they deem rednecks dont turn out to be the racists, sexists or bigots they expect them to be. Theyve drawn up this picture of how they want us to be, Whitney commented. And when were not how they want us to be, they go insane. They cannot handle it. Whitney then went on to describe several incidents when major news networks have mistakenly identified criminals as white guys. When they are not, he argues, the media does not know what to do. Thats why they hate us, he concluded. They hate what we stand for, they hate our values, they hate us so bad. They want it to be true, and its not true. What do you think? Do you agree with Whitneys description of how the mainstream media has portrayed blue collar Americans? Watch the interview below and share your thoughts with us. 
1	During a post-workout press conference at the Yankees spring training facility Thursday, shortstop Derek Jeter once again rejected the idea of moving from shortstop to center field, citing the fact that he's Derek fucking Jeter and he'll play whatever fucking position he wants. 'I can see how people might think that moving to center field would be the right thing to do,' the 36-year-old said. 'I can also seequite clearly, as a matter of factthat none of those people are named Derek Jeter. You know, the same Derek Jeter who led the New York fucking Yankees to five World Series titles and restored the entire goddamn organization to prominence after a decade and a half of mediocrity. That Derek Jeter ring a fucking bell for anyone?' Jeter, who signed a three-year contract with the Yankees this offseason amidst criticism of his defensive quickness and throwing arm, said he would be open to moving to the outfield if he were not 11-time All-Star and future first-ballot Hall of Famer Derek Jeter. However, according to Jeter, that's who he sure as fuck was the last time he looked in the mirror. 'So, I'll be playing whichever dicklick position I goddamn feel like,' Jeter added. 'Hell, maybe I'll play shortstop, third base, catcher, second base, and first base all at the same time. Have my own little around-the-horn circle jerk for five fucking hours if the mood strikes me. How'd that sit with everyone? Good? Good.' During the hour-long press conference, Jeter repeatedly clarified that he was only saying what he was saying because he is Derek fucking Jeter and he can say whatever the fuck he wants. When questioned about his inability to cover all parts of the shortstop position, Jeter asked reporters if they were five-time Gold Glove winners, and said that if they weren't, maybe they should just shut their fucking mouths. At one point during the press conference, Jeter interrupted himself, stopping to see if he could remember which MLB player is the only one in the history of the game to win the All-Star Game MVP Award and the World Series MVP in the same year. 'Oh, that's right, it was New York Yankees shortstop and Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year Derek Jeter,' the 16-year-veteran said. 'Oh, wait! I'm Derek Jeter. I won the fucking MVP awards. Me. The same motherfucker who dove into the stands for a pop fly against the Red Sox and came out bloody and bruised. So there's no way I'm the guy Brian Cashman keeps talking aboutthe guy who sounds like a fucking quadriplegic who can't move two steps to field a fucking ground ball.' Jeter conceded that there are probably other people named Derek Jeter who would love to play center field for the New York Yankees, and encouraged team management to go out and try and sign one of them. However, he said, because he's the Derek Jeter who last won the league's highest defensive honor in 'oh, I dunno, 2000 and fucking 10,' he felt that shortstop suited him just fine. In addition, Jeter said that the last time he checked, not only were Yankees backup shortstops Ramiro Pena and Eduardo Nunez not named Derek Jeter, but they more than likely had never put the most successful baseball organization in the history of the sport on their back season after goddamn season, and probably had never passed Lou fucking Gehrig to become the Yankees all-time hits leader. 'That's Lou Gehrig, the baseball player,' Jeter said. 'Not Lou Gehrig, the Nuts 4 Nuts guy who sells honey-roasted almonds and gives free blow jobs outside the stadium.' Jeter went on to note that being the Derek Jeterthe same one whose class and commitment has won over even the staunchest Yankee hatersis also the main reason he'll be the team's leadoff hitter for as long as he wants. It doesn't matter, he said, if the Yankees sign the next incarnation of Rickey Henderson, or fucking God for that matter. 'I bet nobody ever told Yogi Berra that he should stop catching, or told Joe DiMaggio that he should test the market to see if he could get a better offer,' Jeter said. 'And if they did, they were fucking pricks back then, too. You don't tell Yogi fucking Berra he can't catch, and you sure as shit don't say in the media that Derek Jeter isn't as fast or as good as he used to be, even if it's fucking true.' 'You let the guy who's been the captain of your team for the past eight years leave with a little bit of goddamn dignity,' Jeter added. 'For Christ's sake, the last thing any of us have at the end of our careers is our dignity, and I swear to fucking God, if anybody tries to take that away from me again, I'll play on this team till I'm 95-fucking-years-old and have a colostomy bag tucked under my uniform. I don't care if we lose 162 games a season.' Jeter added that if anybody had a problem with anything he had just said, they could all go fuck themselves, especially that 'fat fuck Hank [Steinbrenner].' 
3	Washington State Bill Would Turn Off Resources to NSAs Yakima Facilityselfnews Post Rep. David Taylor (R-Moxee) and Rep Rep. Luis Moscoso (D- Mountlake Terrace) introduced HB2272 late Tuesday night. Based on model language drafted by the OffNow coalition, it would make it the policy of Washington to refuse material support, participation, or assistance to any federal agency which claims the power, or with any federal law, rule, regulation, or order which purports to authorize, the collection of electronic data or metadata of any person pursuant to any action not based on a warrant. Practically speaking, the bill prohibits state and local agencies from providing any material support to the NSA within their jurisdiction. This includes barring government-owned utilities from providing water and electricity. It makes information gathered without a warrant by the NSA and shared with law enforcement inadmissible in state court. It blocks public universities from serving as NSA research facilities or recruiting grounds. And it disincentivizes corporations attempting to fill needs not met in the absence of state cooperation. Lawmakers in Oklahoma, California and Indiana have already introduced similar legislation, and a senator in Arizona has committed to running it there, but Washington counts as the first state with an actual NSA facility within its borders to consider the Fourth Amendment Protection Act. The NSA operates a listening center on the Armys Yakima Training Center (YTC). The NSA facility is in Taylors district, and he said he cannot sit idly by while a secretive facility in his own backyard violate the rights of people everywhere. According to documents made public by the US Military, as of 2008, a company called PacifiCorp serves as the primary supplier of electric power, and Cascade Natural Gas Corporation supplies natural gas to YTC. The Kittitas Public Utility District, a function of the state of Washington, provides electric power for the MPRC and the Doris site, but no documentation has yet proven that it also provides electricity used directly by the NSA facility on site. And while YTC does provide a bulk of its own water, documents also showthat some of it gets there by first passing through upstream dams owned and operated by the State. The Army report states, YTC lies within three WAUs whose boundaries coincide with WRIAs, as defined by the State of Washington natural resource agencies. WAUs are Washington State Water Administration Units. WRIAs are Washington State Water Resource Inventory Areas A Washington company also has a strong link to the NSA. Cray Inc. builds supercomputers for the agency. If the bill passes, it would set in motion actions to stop any state support of the Yakima center as long as it remains in the state, and could make Cray ineligible for any contracts with the state or its political subdivisions. Three public universities in Washington join 166 schools nationwide partnering with the NSA. Taylors bill would address these schools status as NSA Centers of Academic Excellence, and would bar any new partnerships with other state colleges or universities. Tenth Amendment Center national communications director Mike Maharrey says the bills prohibition against using unconstitutionally gathered data in state court would probably have the most immediate impact. In fact, lawmakers in Kansas and Missouri will consider bills simply addressing this kind of data sharing. We know the NSA shares data with state and local law enforcement. We know from a Reuters report that most of this shared data has absolutely nothing to do with national security issues. This bill would make that information inadmissible in state court, he said. This data sharing shoves a dagger into the heart of the Fourth Amendment. This bill would stop that from happening. This is a no-brainer. Every state should do it. Maharrey said he expects at least three more states to introduce the act within the next few weeks. This idea is catching fire, he said. And why wouldnt it? We have an out of control agency spying on virtually everybody in the world. We have a president and a Congress that appears poised to maybe put a band aid on it. Americans are realizing if we are going to slow down the NSA, we are going to have to take a different approach. This is it. ACTION ITEMS 1. Washington State Residents Visit this page and take the specific actions today. 2. Other states follow this link: 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 
1	Wreaking untold environmental and economic devastation throughout the region, a strain of harvest-resistant corn engineered by the agrochemical company Monsanto is now engulfing most of the Midwest, officials confirmed Monday. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the genetically modified crop, which Monsanto originally enhanced with traits to provide resistance from pests, diseases, and environmental conditions such as drought and frost, has become completely impervious to industrial reaping machinery and has spread uncontrollably across 700,000 square miles of land. With the unharvestable corn growing through asphalt roadways and airport tarmacs all over the Midwest, FEMA has been leading efforts to evacuate millions of residents before the plants obstruct all travel in the central United States. This particular strain of Monsanto corn is advancing at an alarming rate, and all efforts to contain the aggressive infestation have thus far been unsuccessful, said Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Krysta Harden, who confirmed that the bioengineered crop thrives even in inhospitable environments and threatens entire ecosystems through rapid colonization and domination of native vegetation. At this rate, we are facing a catastrophic level of growth. The corn has spread quickly from farms, overwhelming small towns and suburban neighborhoods, and is now starting to encroach upon highly populated cities. Were dealing with a virtually indestructible corn plant that faces no natural competition and can take hold and flourish on any available surface, added Harden. At this point, the stretch of land from Minnesota to Arkansas has almost been completely consumed by this agribusiness product. According to accounts, hundreds of farmers throughout the region have been forced to abandon tractors and agriculture equipment in fields overgrown with the robust crop. Despite efforts by the USDA to halt the crops expansion using high-concentration herbicides, chemical treatments of the regions soil, and controlled fires, thick rows of the cornofficially known by the Monsanto product ID MON915have continued to overtake farmland, forests, parks, and both commercial and residential properties. Officials confirmed that the highly resilient corn is composed of a Monsanto-patented steel-like plant fiber, creating an unbreakable stalk and an impenetrable husk that is impossible to open or separate from the rest of the organism. In addition, sources confirmed that the corns roots become too firmly embedded in the bedrock to remove the plant from the soil. This genetically modified corn is so dense in places that it has rendered many towns in the Midwest completely inaccessible, said Harden, warning that the corn, which was carefully engineered in Monsantos St. Louis laboratories, was rapidly draining the nutrients from the soil and depleting the regions groundwater. By our estimates, the crop is now consuming 100 acres of land per hour, and is likely to completely cut off the Omaha metropolitan area by months end. Unfortunately, the start of colder weather hasnt slowed this bioengineered corn at all, added Harden. Its too hardy. Following its introduction during the 2013 agricultural season, the corn has ravaged natural habitats by crowding out local wildlifes food sources and clogging major waterways, including the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, with its dense root systems. In recent weeks, experts expressed concerns about the humanitarian crisis caused by the crops unrelenting expansion, which has forced the populations of Columbia, MO, Carbondale, IL, Ames, IA, and several other cities to abandon their homes. The corn started inching in on the outskirts of town about four months ago, said Columbia, MO, resident Carla Tanner, who was forced to evacuate with her family of four after numerous stalks of the bio-patented crop burst through her homes floorboards, compromising several of the load-bearing elements in the building and making the structure unsafe for habitation. None of us expected the corn to grow so fast and so thick. By the time we left, you could hardly see from one side of Main Street to the other for all the stalks. There is no Columbia anymore, Tanner continued. Its all just corn. At press time, the Monsanto Company had announced plans to bring legal action against the 65 million people of the Midwest for growing patented genetic material without paying the companys seed premium. 
1	While listening to the radio on his drive home Monday afternoon, former MLB player Terry Boylan realized that his professional career exactly mirrors the travels of the man in the Steve Miller Band song 'Rock 'N Me.' 'I went from Phoenix, Arizona all the way to Tacoma, Philadelphia, Atlanta, L.A.,' said Boylan, who was selected in the 1998 expansion draft by the Arizona Diamonbacks, traded to the Mariners and spent a season with their Triple-A affiliate Tacoma Rainiers, claimed by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2000 Rule 5 draft, released and picked up off waivers the following year by the Atlanta Braves, and traded once more to the Dodgers of Los Angeles. 'Then I went to northern Californiawhere the girls are warmwhen I signed as a free agent with the San Francisco Giants. Though I didn't go there to be with my sweet baby, incidentally that's where I met my future wife. Weird.' Boylan added that he is not superstitious nor does he get suspicious, and his woman is a friend of his.

2	White QB Wins Starting Postion Over Kaepernick, Instantly Called White Privilege According to reports, San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who recently sparked controversy by sitting for the national anthem, is going to be sitting for a whole lot longer. On Saturday, head coach Chip Kelly named Blaine Gabbert as the teams starting quarterback. That means that multi-millionaire Kaepernick will be riding the bench. Chip Kelly racist aab knowing blaine gabbert is garbage, Brooklyn Scott wrote on Twitter. Chip Kellys not starting kap because chip racist, chi_kartel added. This is not the first time Kelly has been accused of being a racist. While coaching for the Philadelphia Eagles, rumors sparked that Kelly had racial tendencies. That notion was dispelled by black players on the team spoke out in his defense, claiming that he was an a**hole to all players, but not a racist. What do you think? Are you tired of common-sense decisions being portrayed as racism? The best players play, its as simple as that. 
1	Yaquub Akhtar, the leader of an eight-man cell linked to a terrorist organization known as the Army Of Martyrs, admitted Tuesday that he 'doesn't have the slightest clue' what to do with the quarter-kilogram of plutonium he recently acquired. Yaquub Akhtar. 'We had just given thanks to Allah for this glorious means to destroy the Great Satan once and for all, when [sub-lieutenant] Mahmoud [Ghassan] asked, 'So, what's the next step?'' Akhtar said. 'I was at a loss.' The 28-year-old fanatic said he and his associates had initially assumed that at least one member of their group had the physics and engineering background necessary to construct a thermonuclear device. 'Many eyes were upon me,' said Basim Aljawad, whose knowledge of physics did not extend to the principles of nuclear fission. 'I make nail bombs. That's it.' Not knowing where to turn, the eight men consulted the Muslim holy book the Quran, which proved unhelpful. Said Akhtar: 'Even Umar Abd al-Malik, who interprets the ancient scripture more freely than the rest of us, could not find an instructive passage.' Morale was temporarily buoyed when cell member Dawoud Bishr, a former student at the Sorbonne in Paris, was found intently examining the exposed plutonium, which he had lifted from its protective lead footlocker. Two days later, however, the others had to bury Bishr in a landfill outside the city. Akhtar, in hiding in a small, spartan cellar in one of Zahedan's poorer neighborhoods, said that the only use he's found for the encased lethal substance so far is as a flat surface on which to lay out a map of a government armory outside Islamabad and a large piece of paper to make a blueprint for transferring the plutonium to an effective delivery system. 'I drew a circle to represent the plutonium,' Akhtar said. 'Then I drew a line pointing to it, and beside it wrote 'plutonium.' After that, I just hit a wall.' Akhtar and his associates initially planned to create a 'suitcase bomb,' but soon after they obtained the plutonium, they learned that such bombs weigh over 700 pounds, and are therefore too heavy for any of them to lift alone. Said Akhtar: 'The only thing this weapon of mass destruction is destroying right now is our ability to kill infidels.' 'I have heard many in the corrupt Western media say that Muslim terrorists have acquired harmful radioactive materials that can be readily deployed,' al-Malik said. 'Whoever this terrorist group is that's all but ready to strike America with a nuclear device, we sure could use their help.' Unable to search for bomb-making instructions on his laptop for fear of being monitored, Akhtar has been forced to send another of his sub-lieutenants, 23-year-old Ibraheem Jaalal, to a local Internet caf in hopes of acquiring the necessary data. According to Jaalal, the process so far has proven 'unbearably slow' and 'outrageously expensive,' claiming he can't believe the coffee shop charges $4.95 for an hour of dial-up-speed Internet use. The cell's lack of contacts with professional scientists and engineers has also undermined their bomb-building efforts. 'A friend of mine at university studied metallurgy,' Jaalal said. 'I have his e-mail address, but I can't just write him and say, 'Oh, hello, Suleymann, long time no see. Say, I'm a terrorist now, and I was wondering: How do you go about building a nuclear bomb?'' After three days without progress, the plutonium, once a source of pride for Akhtar and the other men, has increasingly become a fountain of frustration. 'I guess we got carried away with the idea of making a nuclear weapon before thinking the whole thing through,' said Akhtar, who admitted that even if he 'could bombard that plutonium nuclei with enough electrons, whatever those are,' getting the bomb to North America would prove another logistical mess. 'I still believe in taking the lives of American civilians as revenge for the atrocities committed on our brothers, our wives, and our daughters,' Akhtar said. 'I'm just not entirely sure it's worth a headache this big.' 
1	New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was lauded Friday for his volunteer work at the Boston City Morgue, receiving praise from its staff for his dedication, enthusiasm, and affable attitude while working at the storage facility for human remains. Boston chief medical examiner Dr. Thomas Coleman estimated that Belichick has averaged 40 to 50 volunteer hours a week at the morgue over the past five years. In addition, Coleman said the three-time Super Bowl champion coach is a popular figure in the autopsy room and well known for his cheerful personality and ever-present beaming smile. 'Back in 2007, Bill just came off the street right after a horrific 12-car pileup on Interstate 93 had claimed the lives of eight people and asked if we needed any help,' Coleman said. 'He insisted on doing it for free. How could we refuse? Turns out the man's a natural at working with dead bodies.' 'Not only does Bill have a delightful disposition, but he's never shied away from tackling the most unpleasant and repulsive tasks,' Coleman added. 'He's actually eager, like a kid in a candy store. His eyes just light up and he gets that big sunny grin of his whenever he's asked to mop up bodily fluids or sort through heavily damaged internal organs.' According to Coleman, Belichick's kind and thoughtful naturealways on display while performing his day-to-day morgue dutiesis most obvious when he volunteers to meet with families who arrive to identify deceased loved ones. 'Bill is just the best,' Coleman said. 'He just gives and gives. Recently he pulled me aside, looked into my eyes, and said, 'Thank you. Being here really makes my day.'' Belichick told reporters he loves the atmosphere of the morgue, from its subdued silence to the dull gleam of its cool stainless steel surfaces to its distinctive smell. The three-time AP NFL coach of the year also said he relishes the feel of the cold dissection table on his skin, as well as the soft but persistent hum of the refrigerated body-storage lockers, the gentle plops of viscera slowly dripping through the drainage grates, and the invigorating buzz of an electric bone saw as it cuts into a skull. 'I feel happiest when I'm working long hours at the morgue,' Belichick said. 'It lets my subconscious mind work on other things. It's inspiring. Last week, we were given the bloated, waterlogged corpse of a drowning victim, and I instantly came up with a great defensive-tackle stunt that will collapse the pocket and pressure the QB.' 'I get to spend a lot of time alone with my thoughts here,' Belichick continued. 'It helps me tremendously in conceptualizing various schemes and plans.' Morgue attendants acknowledged they were impressed by Belichick's inquisitive nature, remarking that the 60-year-old coach has a deep fondness for observing autopsies and furiously writes notes and diagrams in a leather-bound pocket journal, often using a digital camera to photograph the cadavers from dozens of angles. Belichick is also said to be intensely curious about matters ranging from the techniques required to prevent the decomposition of a human corpse to the frequency with which the facility receives fresh dead bodies. 'Bill's always asking about contingencies and hypotheticals, such as what we would do in the event of an overturned school bus killing everyone on board, or if a section of bleachers caught fire at a Red Sox game and cooked the fans alive, or if the Big Dig caved in and we couldn't get to the bodies for a couple weeks,' said morgue attendant Cecil Walker, adding that Belichick has posted his personal contact information and asked that he be called immediately if something like that should happen. 'He really wants to learn every aspect of this business. Field work, dissection, the transportation and disposal of human remainsyou name it.' Autopsy technicians said Belichick has contributed a great deal to the morgue, including a meticulously detailed list of suggested improvements. 'He's come up with a bunch of procedures for removing dried, hardened bowels from various pieces of equipment, and also a highly efficient system for organizing the dead bodies,' technician Richard Jackson said. 'It's hard to believe such a total mastermind of this stuff can still be really laid back, wearing that blood-splattered old Patriots hoodie as he dives into his work.' 'You know what still gets me? No matter how cold it gets, the guy never wears shoes,' Jackson added. 'Or gloves. He says he likes the feel between his toes and fingers, but we know better. Every now and then, we'll walk in while he's caressing the chest of a dead body and whispering about how beautiful it is. Guy just loves the work.' 
2	Muslim Refugee Spit In Swedish Womans Face After Raping Her According to recent reports, violence and rape in Sweden is escalating, with new statistics indicating that 1 out of every 4 women in Sweden will be raped in her lifetime. In one particularly disturbing report, a woman was sexually assaulted and raped twice by two different men in Strangnas over the course of a single hour. Now, two Arab asylum seekers have been indicted for the crimes, which took place at Hotel Malarblick. The two men, who were from Algeria and Syria, were reportedly in the same restaurants of the woman in August. As she headed home after 2 PM, she was confronted by one of the men, who pulled her down and raped her. The second rape was committed in partnership with someone who is still identified. The woman was held down and assaulted both vaginally and anally by the Syrian in question. He also reportedly spit in her face following the incident. Prosecutors have called for both men to be expelled from Sweden following the incident. 
1	Revealing that Americans still excel in assembling all types of justifications, a report released Monday by researchers at Rutgers University confirmed that the United States remains the worlds unrivaled leader in manufacturing excuses. Our data shows that the American people are able to churn out millions of excuses every day, a rate five times faster than that of our closest international competitor, said author Tom McCullough, who noted that the country continues to dominate in every excuse-manufacturing subsector, with Americans mass-producing rationalizations for everything from why they didnt finish college to which of their colleagues should be blamed for them not receiving a promotion. Whether U.S. citizens are trying to get out of work, an upcoming party, or even a relationship, American excuses are still the envy of the industrialized world. Few countries can produce the same quality or quantity of pretexts, alibis, or half-assed explanations. McCullough added that the report probably could have been far better had his team been given more time and resources. 
2	Her School Told Her Not To Use Bible Quotes In Her Paper, So She Did THIS Instead [VIDEO] According to reports, a Nevada high school is facing national criticism after denying its students the right to use Bible quotes in their class assignments. 12-year-old student Mackenzie Frasier was asked to write an All About Me paper by her technology teacher at Somerset Academy. The assignment required an inspirational quote, so Frasier decided to use a passage from the Bible. 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, the passage, from John 3:16, read. When she turned in her assignment, Frasier was told to change the quote because it violated the schools policy. Reluctantly, Frasier changed the quote. But just months later, she ran into the same problem in her leadership class after being asked to describe the source of her self-esteem. When Mackenzie told her father about the issue, he was certain that she was misunderstanding the policy, so he decided to contact the school, complaining that they were violating his daughters freedom of speech. After some debate, the Frasier family eventually contacted the Liberty Institute. The school later issued an official apology, claiming that the teacher and assistant principal had incorrectly implemented the Department of Education guidelines. Frasier was given the opportunity to resubmit her original assignments with her religious beliefs included. 
3	Grid EX II And The Impact Of An EMP Attack On AmericaDave Hodges This is an article that I did not want to write. However, it is an article which represents completely known information but is normally not available outside academic and government-sponsored conferences. I have synthesized and simplified much of the research in the hope of making the material understandable and useful to the general public. Many authors who would write such an article would be immediately accused of fear-mongering. In this instance, I believe there is much to fear. Short of a 3-mile-wide asteroid landing in the ocean, I cannot think of a more devastating event than an EMP attack. If anything, the scenarios I present are on the very conservative side. I strongly concur with my Congressman, Trent Franks, that an EMP attack is the most devastating event that our country could ever face. Congressman Franks represents a small group of Congressmen who have desperately been trying to attract attention to the possibility that a nation-wide EMP attack would prove more devastating than if a dozen of our cities were to be hit by a nuclear attack. America could mostly recover from the latter, but there might not be any recovery from a nationwide EMP attack. This article is not an inventory of all things that could go wrong following an EMP attack, it is a cross-section. Suffice it to say that there would be nobody who would be left untouched by an EMP attack. Our Power Grid Is Very Vulnerable Our power grid is susceptible to hurricanes, flooding, lightning strikes and Coronal Mass Ejections (CME). The grid is also vulnerable to Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP). Dr. John Casti, author of the book, X Events The Collapse of Everything states that EMP is only something that we have known about since the 1950s when the United States detonated nuclear weapons in above-ground testing in the South Pacific. When one sets off a nuclear weapon, a pulse is emitted which short circuits all electronics and permanently damages them. Our constitutional freedoms and liberties as well as our 300 million handguns would prove to be an effective deterrent against an occupying force. If the globalists desire totally to collapse the resistance of America an EMP/HEMP would be an excellent method to eliminate the American civilian threat. The cap-and-trade extreme environmentalists would jump for joy because all industrial activity would be immediately halted. In two years following an EMP attack, with the majority of people dead (see below), there would be no opposition to a Chinese/Russian military occupation for the remaining populace. You say that you dont believe that this will happen? Then explain to me why the Russians and the Chinese are being allowed to participate in Grid EX II (see the previous article)? Until this question can be satisfactorily answered, then we must view their presence on our soil as provocative to say the least. Adding to the likelihood that an EMP would be used to subdue this country is the fact that United States military system is protected against EMP, whileAmerican businesses and the general public are not. Therefore, critical infrastructure controlled by the globalists could survive as the rest of us fight for our survival. The Most Devastating Delivery Method of a HEMP Most experts agree that the most effective delivery method for a nation-wide EMP, or HEMP attack would be the Club-K Container Missile System. In its advertised versions, it is designed for launching four or six cruise missiles, it could obviously be converted for a long-range ballistic missile. A Scud-D ballistic missile would fit quite easily into this container as well. These delivery devices would be readily available on the open market and a cargo ship could be rigged to launch such missiles. I have publicly heard Congressman Trent Franks speak to the fact that ah EMP attack would likely consist of two high-altitude nuclear explosions over the mid-continental United States. The resulting EMP, or HEMP to be more accurate, would take out the power grid. Grid EX II I emphatically stated in my last article that I do not believe that the November 13-14 Grid EX II drill will produce an EMP event. I want to emphasize that it is not likely that a false flag EMP attack will occur this week as part of the Grid EX II drill. However, it is highly likely that such an attack will take place in our future. Remember, outgoing DHS director, Janet Napolitano, stated in her August 2013 farewell address that it is not a matter of if but when such an attack will occur. Even if the attack did not take the form a false flag attack, Russia, China and North Korea all possess devastating EMP capabilities. Russia is considered the leader in EMP weapons technology. I want to emphatically reiterate that I am highly concerned about the presence of two nations, who have both threatened to nuke the United States in the past two years, and the fact that they are being allowed to participate in the simulated take-down drill involving our power grid. Treason or insanity? You decide. The reasons that I do not think that we will see a false flag event, despite the fact that this event is unfolding like so many false flag events of the past (e.g. 9/11, 7/7 London bombings and the Boston Marathon bombing), is due to the fact that the bad guys are not ready. The militarys leadership has not been sufficiently purged and Obama needs more time to complete an absolute takeover of the American military from a leadership standpoint. Secondly, the martial law troops consisting of the Russians and Chinese, both a part of Grid EX II, need to be trained how to carry their roles on American soil. I do believe that it is likely that we will see sporadic power outages in isolated portions of the country as a part of a beta test. However, just like the EBT beta test a few weeks ago, the event should not last very long; and if you are unlucky enough to get caught in the in the wrong place at the wrong time, dont panic. Just like the Boston Marathon bombing, the Grid EX II is a dress rehearsal for the event and the subsequent martial law enforcement from the Chinese and Russian troops which are participating in the drill. A Cross-Section of Effects of A HEMP Nearly all of the commercial sector is not protected. Most data backups of commercial systems are protected from just about every other threat, but not protected against EMP; and most data backups are located within the area likely to be affected by the EMP attack. Computer systems and the information they contain are especially vulnerable. As Max says in the narration in the first episode of the old Dark Angel television series, . . . the electromagnetic pulse turned all the one and zeros into plain old zeros . . . An EMP attack would literally send thousands of small and mid-sized businesses in the United States into bankruptcy in less than a millisecond. Other than your printed statements, the banks would have no records of your ledger sheet. Education Education records would be destroyed and only hard copies of transcripts would serve as the remnants of an extinct system. If there is a silver-lining, at least Common Core would stop wreaking its havoc on American students before the damage was too widespread. Hospitals America would see catastrophic conditions immediately take place in our hospitals and convalescent centers. Within a few days, old age homes would lack the resources and services of the staff to help preserve the lives of those who are virtually helpless. Patients on the operating table would stand a good chance of not surviving. Hospital back-up generating systems would be rendered unusable. Food and water would become a scarce resource. Many hospital personnel would walk off the job by the beginning of the third day. The only medical personnel that would stay would be those that live too far away from home to walk. People would not be able to get their life-sustaining medications and services, most of which are electrically powered. Our worst fears would be realized. Transportation In one of the most dramatic effects, airplanes would fall from the skies. Untold thousands of people would immediately plunged to their death. And their deaths might be considered merciful compared to the fate that the majority of the rest of us would face over the next two years. Most automobiles will not work unless they have all pre-electrical parts. Even then, how long would gasoline be available? Many people on the various subways, would be hopelessly trapped depending on the time that an electromagnetic pulse would be released. And we can all be sure, that the release of an EMP, through false flag planning, would occur at the optimal time to ensure the maximum loss of life. Schools and Children One of the most tragic developments arising from an EMP attack with the fate of schoolchildren geographically isolated from their parents who have already commuted to work. Reuniting parents and their children would be next to impossible for the majority of Americans who have a 30-minute commute or more to work (20 miles). In an earlier article this year, I identified and detailed the questionnaire which went out to all school personnel which was inventorying staff school sets such as law enforcement experience, construction as well electrical and engineering talents. Sounds like a strange set of skills to be surveying at our public schools. What do the originators of this document know that they rest of us should? If you were a teacher, how long would you stay on the job and ignore the welfare of your family? Getting home and reuniting with family will be problematic. Communications Your cell phones, your land lines, text, Twitter, emails and faxes will not work. Nearly all broadcast stations, especially television stations, would go off the air. Due to the high level of computerized automation, the equipment in most radio and television studios would be so completely destroyed that most commercial stations would be damaged beyond repair. Radio studios are actually more vulnerable to permanent damage than many portable radio receivers. When America emerges from the event, the NSA police state surveillance grid would be permanently in place for the extreme martial law dictatorship that will follow. According to a statement of Damon Penn, a DHS official, made to a committee of the U.S. House of Representatives on July 8, 2011, a limited number of critical radio stations are being retrofitted with some EMP protection. However, most of us will be without the benefit of mass communication. Smoke signals anyone? Somewhere between 250,000 to 500,000 people will die in the first few minutes. Perhaps as many as 1-2 million would be dead within three days. Water-Borne Diseases The greatest threat to human survival, in the aftermath of a HEMP, would be the publics ability to obtain clean drinking water. This access would be greatly imperiled. In 2010, when Haiti was hit by a major earthquake which killed over 200,000 people, the misery did not stop with the survivors. Six weeks following the earthquake, Haiti announced its first cholera outbreak in over a century. The cholera outbreak went on to claim 8,000 more lives. The disease thrives in places where there is insufficient water treatment, poor sanitation and inadequate hygiene. This is what precisely would happen in most areas following an EMP attack. Keeping drinking water clean and separate from human sewage and other contaminants would prove to be humanitys biggest challenge. Cholera would also prove to be the biggest threat to long-term survival. It is likely that in the 24 months following the event, that most people would succumb to cholera and other water-borne diseases. Cholera is a horrible disease which grants its victims a very painful and agonizing death. In the 20th century, the human lifespan in United States increased by 35 years. Thirty of those 35 years was due to improvements in sanitation. Following an EMP attack, effective sanitation would all but disappear. Access to Water Human beings require approximately 2 liters of water per day in order to survive. If we do not get that water, we will die in approximately 5 days. With regard to a HEMP attack, our water supplies are especially vulnerable. The power to distribute water is highly concentrated within the United States. Only eight municipalities provide 82% of the drinking water in the United States. There are multiple technologies which are used to pump water from the source to its final destination. Some require no electricity; however, most do. And even if your water system was powered by non-electrical means, how would the personnel and staff, who monitors and maintains your water supply, get to work without proper transportation? In all of Southern California, the water must make its way over mountains. What will happen when all electricity is gone? The resulting casualty rates stemming from civil disorder and death due to lack of water would be unimaginable. In a time of a HEMP attack, the availability of water, as well as the safety of water would come into question for the vast majority of Americans. The availability of clean water supplies would be the most critical threat and would claim the most victims. These grim possibilities makes one wonder why T. Boone Pickens is buying up the Ogallala reservoir. What does he know that the rest of should know? Food The food supply would be imperiled as well. What do crops need to grow? With hydroelectric power gone, where would the water come from for many food-growing regions in the country? Our food supplies would dry up and disappear, thus exacerbating the threat. Most people will perish within 30 days of famine, thus making water shortages the greatest threat to survival. Social Chaos Survivors would undoubtedly form collectives to forcefully procure food and water. The levels of violence would be horrific. Yet, I was unable to locate any government or academic documents which attempted to project how bad it will get. It is safe to say that it will be a waste of time to call 911 and that every person would be under threat of attack 24/7/365. How Bad Will It Get? Sociologists tell us that there are five levels of societal development. Much of America is entering into the Post-Industrial phase. An EMP attack would reduce most Americans to a violent existence in the first stage: Nomadic Hunting and Gathering. Without easy access to water, most would not be able to maintain a Horticulture and Pastoral society for long. And those who did would face dire threats from those seeking resources. This would make the death curve for the elderly and the infirm skyrocket. Child mortality would be dramatically rise. I am not predicting a return to 10,000 Years BC. However, a pre-Revolutionary War existence would largely be out of reach because of the lack of obtainable clean water. Water is the organizing foundation for any society. Society, as we know it, would collapse. Conclusion I have read the Naval War College projections which tell us that within two years of the event, 90% of all Americans would be dead. In the video below, Congressman Franks predicts a 60% mortality rate. The fact remains that nobody know for certain how many of us would perish. However, it is safe to say that most of us would. In a future article, I will prepare a short list of things that I think all of us, even those with limited budgets, can be doing to prepare. I will close the most grim article that I have written with the words of Congressman Trent Franks who at the seven-minute mark tells us his view of the expected casualty rates following an EMP attack.

3	Brexit Pushed The Stock Market Down: O The HorrorBy Jon Rappoport An investor asked God, Is the stock market an intrinsically woven part of the universe You created? And God said, Only if you believe I wanted to create a new sucker every minute. In the wake of the Brexit vote, and in many other cases where an event is said to be negative, stocks plummet. Major media promote these downward actions as evidence that something bad has happened, and the economy is suffering because of it. On the other hand, if the general trend of the stock market is up, and new highs are reached, media claim the economy is recovering or in good shape, or booming. Indeed, the movements of the market are used as critiques of political and economic choices and happenings. X policy-move shouldnt have been taken, because look at what the market reaction was. We need to examine all this blather. First of all, and this is the big one: what is the connection of the stock market to the companies whose stocks are being traded? Is the whole landscape of buying and selling stocks intimately tied to those companies? What is really going on? Many people believe the sale of stock benefits a company. This is true when a privately held company goes public by issuing stock in whats called an initial public offering (IPO). During the limited time period of the IPO, money from the sale of stock does go back to the company issuing it, and that money can used for company growth. Yes. Later, the company can issue more stock in whats called a follow-on offering, and then, too, money from the sale of the stock goes back to the company. Butby far the greatest amount of activity in the stock market is the simple buying and selling of sharesand none of the ensuing profits and losses accrue to the companies whose shares are being traded. Its a pure casino operation. ***This casino operation does nothing to benefit the companies in the way of adding cash to their assets. The casino is all about trading, perception, prediction (and of course, price manipulation). What do I think other people are thinking about Stock Z, and what should my response be? Should I buy Stock Z, should I sell it short (bet it goes down)? The ups and downs of stock prices have nothing to do with the health of the economy, whatever that is supposed to mean. The ups and downs occur according to what investors are willing to pay for a stock or what they are willing to sell it for. In the casino. None of the action really reflects the condition of the companies whose stocks are for sale. None of the money from buying and selling reverts to the companies. Its all gambling, all the time. Thats all. If a company reports a loss of profits for the current year, yes, its stock price may go down. But that merely means stock investors believe it should go down and are willing to pay less for the stock (at the moment). However, the price of the stock might go up, even on the heels of a loss of profits. Or the price could stay the same. Whatever the price does has nothing to do with the condition of the company. It only reflects what casino players believe, because they are the buyers and sellers. This is hard for some people to understand. They want to imagine that the stock market directly reflects the condition of the companies that issue stock. Wrong. The market reflects perception of the bettors, plus manipulation (which isnt the subject of this article). Lets see. I think that other people think that I think stock A is going to go up. Theyll buy it, so I guess I should buy it Idiots delight. Perception of other peoples possible perception. Thats the market. Of course, much of the trading these days is done automatically, by computers belonging to large investment funds. But that doesnt change the basic realitythe buying and selling are removed from the companies whose stocks are being passed back and forth. Therefore, whether the prices go up or down has nothing to do with the financial health of those companies or the economy in general. This stock market casino operation, its ebbs and flows, are fodder for media, who pretend the latest down or up is how the overall economy is reacting to world events. This is nonsense. The overall economy does not equal the performance of the stock market. The performance of the market doesnt equal the state of the overall economy. Consider what can happen to a large retirement pension fund. The fund takes in money from employees. It will later pay back that money, plus bonuses. Meanwhile, the pension fund invests a great of the money it is holding in the stock market. It buys a variety of stocks and sells them and buys them and sells them. So if those stocks plummet and stay down, and the pension fund isnt willing to ride out the storm in hopes that the fall will eventually turn into a rise, the pension fund will sell off those stocks and end up losing much money. It gambled in the casino with other peoples money, and it lost. But even here, the basis of the loss was an incorrect perception/prediction about what was going to happen in the casino. It wasnt about actualities of the economy. So when titans of finance and media analysts blather about how, for example, Brexit caused a sudden drop in the market, and how this is an indicator of the sudden negative state of the economy, theyre blowing smoke. Assuming the titans didnt manipulate the market to make it fall in the first place (a risky assumption), in order to fabricate a gloomy outlook, the plummeting market says nothing about the economy, any more than an analysis of falling profits in a Vegas casino says anything about the general state of the US economy. Stocks fell today on reports of rising oil prices One, the falling stock prices have no direct impact on the companies whose stocks are being traded. And two, falling stock prices have nothing to do with the price of oil. They might be connected to gamblers perceptions of what rising oil prices mean (at the moment), but thats all. Let me give you a loose analogy. Lets say, in a casino, there is a game called One to Ten. Depending on the flow of business, there are usually about 1000 people in a room in Vegas, and each person has to bet on a number between one and ten. Youre one of those people. When all bets are in, if you bet on the number most other people bet on, youll win 50 cents for every dollar you bet. So you think, Most people will pick a number in middle. Five. So Ill bet on five, too. You do. And indeed, this time 350 people bet on five. The other 650 people bet on various numbers, but no other number between one and ten garnered 350 bettors. So you won. This time. While this little operation was going on, media anchors were stationed around the room. They were quickly broadcasting tidbits about floods, hurricanes, military build-ups, political campaigns, polls, celebrity arrests, Hollywood box office receipts, new genetic research, a terror attack in Pakistan, fracking, school picnics, climate change, a man who ate 300 hot dogs in two hours, and so on. And these anchors are claiming that the result of the bet youre involved in is definitely connected to these events. Theyre insisting on it. Thats a picture of the day-to-day stock market plus what media are spreading around about the market. The market is a massive and monumental goof for casino gamblers. If its a measure of how the world is going, Im selling orange groves on Saturn. Heres a final analogy. Bird droppings. Youre an investor, and you see theres a trading market in bird droppings. You decide to put your money into this market. The price of droppings goes up. Youre doing well. One day, sitting at your lap-top in the back yard, you think, Wait. These droppings are worthless. Of course, that doesnt matter, but suppose a lot of other investors think that same thought Im thinking right now. The price would go down. Are a lot of other people thinking my thought right now? Or are they going their merry way, buying more droppings because they see the price going up? Which is it? All around the world, other investors in bird droppings are having the same monologues with themselves. Now, if enough of those people dont care about the intrinsic worth of droppings, the market will hold. But if enough of them are worrying about what other investors might be thinking, they will sell their droppings, and the price will go down. Prediction. Perception. Speculation about what other people are predicting and perceiving. A share of IBM, once it has been unhooked from an IPO or a follow-on offering, has no more intrinsic worth than a package of traded bird droppings. People buy and sell that share based on what other investors might or might not be thinking about it. Thats all. Power outages in three Eastern states have resulted in a severe depression of the bird dropping market. Analysts are worried and gloomy Theyre worried and gloomy because theyre supposed to connect world events to the market, in order to pick up their paychecks, and worried and gloomy is the easiest reaction to have. If they admitted the power outages had no relation to, ahem, intrinsically worthless bird droppings, they might end up pumping gas in Death Valley or selling canned heat in the Sahara desert.

1	According to the residents of 117 Maple St., Unit No. 2, literally every appliance, fixture, surface, and structural feature in their apartment is defective to some degree. Tenants Justin Kelly and Luke Epting told reporters Wednesday that the two-bedroom apartment's myriad flaws range from cosmetic issues such as uneven floorboards and ceiling stains, to slightly more bothersome problems like the poor cell phone reception in the bedrooms and the fact that the electrical sockets only have two prongs. 'The walls have a few nicks on them, and you have to pry open the tray on the DVD player with your fingers if you want to watch a movie,' said Kelly, 27, adding that during winter months they have to put a bowl under the radiator to collect water that leaks from the supply pipe. 'And sometimes the living room light doesn't work, but not because the bulb is burnt out. You just have to flick the switch on and off a few times real quick and wait for the pop sound before the light turns on.' 'It's weird, but that's what you have to do,' Kelly continued. The two roommates told reporters the vast majority of the flaws are easily worked around, explaining that over the course of their 22-month occupancy they've gradually gotten used to the shrieking hot-water pipes and having to plug the drafty windows with bath towels. Kelly and Epting added that only a few items are considered completely unusable, including the entryway intercom, two of the four stove-top burners, both residents' printers, and most of the lamps. 'There are a few issues, but it's not like we won't be getting our security deposit back or anything,' Kelly said. 'So long as we don't burn the place down, anyway.' None of the apartment's three smoke alarms was fully functional at press time. While noting that each of the rooms possesses its own array of unique imperfections, Epting suggested that the bathroom likely contains the most defects. 'Some of the tiles are missing, and you can see the showerhead is rubber-banded on,' said the 26-year-old paralegal, noting that the thick layer of condensation on the toilet was 'pretty normal,' and that sometimes the bathroom sink has really low water pressure even if you turn the hot and cold water up all the way. 'Also, you have to grab the doorknob and lift it up to close the door. Otherwise it will open up on you while you're in there.' 'The thing that's kind of annoying is that it's really hot in there all the time,' added Epting, raising his voice above the buzz of the overhead lighting. 'But luckily it's right off the kitchen, which is always freezing, so it balances out.' Although Kelly and Epting admitted that the discoloration behind the kitchen sink was spreading and that the lock on the apartment's front door had grown increasingly 'temperamental,' they said that the apartment was in a great location and well worth the $1,400 rent. 'None of it's so bad that we need to call somebody to get it fixed,' Kelly said. 'It's just small stuff. Like there's this one nail in the hallway that keeps coming back up every couple weeks, and sometimes I'll stub my toe or tear a sock on it. I tried to knock it back in, but the hammer's a piece of shit and the head keeps coming off.' Unlike the apartment's two primary residents, Epting's girlfriend of five months, Liz Fehrenbach, 25, admitted that she remains unsettled by the problems. 'The apartment really doesn't get any natural light, but when it does, it's so bright that you can't watch the TV because of all the glare, and the entire apartment just feels like an oven,' said Fehrenbach, adding that the wireless Internet the residents steal from their downstairs neighbors only seems to work in the living room and hallway. 'I still always forget that you can't use the toaster and microwave at the same time or else the power goes out.' 'But at least I barely ever notice that weird garbage smell anymore,' Fehrenbach continued. When asked for comment, landlord Frank Czerniak stated that he planned to raise the rent by $250 a month when the current lease expires in May. 
1	Local resident Matt Holm expressed fear Monday that Sheri Glass, sister of girlfriend Amanda Glass, might be a bit cuter. 'Sheri's got a slightly smaller nose, and her breasts are better,' a distressed Holm told a male friend after seeing the two sisters side by side for the first time. 'And, even though I haven't seen it, I strongly suspect that her stomach is more toned.' Holm has not yet decided whether to break up with Amanda. 
1	According to sources who dont see why he cant just step on the gas and get a move on already, a local taxi driver was apparently just taking his sweet time as if his passenger werent 10 goddamned minutes late for a Color Me Mine pottery party. I told you to take the freeway, mancmon, Im going to be super late, said passenger Alan Tate to the taxi driver, who either didnt know or just flat-out didnt care that the paint-your-own-pottery party that Tate was on his way to was already underway and would likely run out of Midnight Black glaze within minutes. Please, please, please just hurry up, okay? Its really important. At press time, well, there go Tates chances of painting an entire bouquet of ceramic Funky Flowers. 
1	Continuing his lengthy trek around the league, sources confirmed Friday that 36-year-old journeyman fan Brian Ferretti has joined the Arizona Cardinals, his sixth team in the past five years. Brian has really bounced around the NFL over the last decade, but I think hes finally found the right fit with the Cards, and hopefully hell stay with them from here on out, said coworker Tom Murray, adding that Ferrettis recent teams include the San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos, New York Giants, Baltimore Ravens, and most recently the Seattle Seahawks, who he joined right before the 2013 playoffs. I think he saw the potential of the Cardinals offense this year under a healthy Carson Palmer and decided they were the right team for him. That said, hes moved a lot from team to teamI mean, he started out with the Cowboys in the 90sso given his history and reputation, I wouldnt be surprised if hes wearing a different jersey by the middle of the season. Murray added that this will be Ferrettis second stint with the Cardinals, having already been with the team briefly for one season in 2008. 
2	White Cop Assassinated By Black Extremists Media Is Silent The mainstream media has an interesting method when it comes to determining the value of human life. Not all tragic stories are treated equally. The death of Michael Brown made headlines for weeks, meanwhile, a white copy that was recently murdered by a group of black men has received little media attention. According to reports, Police Officer Kevin Quick, a member of the Waynesboro Police Department in Virginia, was abducted by four black men, suspected to have ties with a Los Angeles-based gang. The group of men took the officer to the ATM to withdraw money. Quick was then taken to the forest and shot execution-style by the thugs. Nowhere in the national media was this murder of a police officer put to paper, one letter from a concerned American read, But when a white police officer shot a black man named Michael Brown n Missouri, it made the national news for month. What hypocrites the media has become. Where is the outrage for Quick? Where are the berserk protesters burning and looting in the name of officer Quick? Unfortunately, Quicks story is one in many lost to the fact that his race was apparently not controversial enough to make headlines. What do you think of the national media ignoring Quicks death? 
3	The Neoconservative Hit List: Iraq, Libya and now Syria? A Plan for Global US Military SupremacySteven MacMillan Prominent individuals who belonged to the think tank include some of the most influential politicians in Americas recent history, including the former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, the Vice President of the U.S. during the George W. Bush administration, Dick Cheney, the ex President of the World Bank and former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Paul Wolfowitz, and Richard Perle, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Global Strategic Affairs under Ronald Regan. In September 2000, the PNAC group released a document titled: Rebuilding Americas Defenses Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century, in which the group discusses the need for the U.S. to assert its military authority around the globe to secure its strategic objectives: Preserving the desirable strategic situation in which the United States now finds itself requires a globally preeminent military capability both today and in the future (p.8). Premeditated Wars The report then continues to advocate an increase in military spending to enable this military capability as well as asserting one year before 9/11 that all this would be unlikely to manifest unless there was a new Pearl Harbor event (p.63). In addition, the document lists a number of regimes that the group viewed as deeply hostile to America. North Korea, Iraq, Iran, Libya and Syria (p.63 p.64) are all pinpointed as enemies of the U.S. well before the illegal war in Iraq in 2003, as well as the illegal 2011 war in Libya and the ongoing proxy war in Syria. Further evidence was revealed in 2007 that supports the thesis that wars are premeditated by the Anglo-American elite for years prior to them being launched. This was when retired four star general and former NATO commander, Wesley Clark, disclosed a plan circulating around the Pentagon in 2001 to attack 7 countries in 5 years. The countries named mirror the ones targeted by the PNAC group, as Iraq, Syria, Iran and Libya were all listed in addition to Lebanon, Somalia and Sudan. The reality is that all the wars of the past and the future are planned well in advance of the public ever hearing our morally repugnant politicians demanding action. Countries that resist being absorbed into the Anglo-American-European international order and allow multinational corporations to exploit their resources, are targeting for regime change well in advance of the pretext they give to intervene. Israel is also set to benefit if the government of al-Assad is replaced with a client state of the West. A study group led by neocon Richard Perle prepared a policy document in 1996 for Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, titled: A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm, in which it outlines the strategic importance of removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq as well as the desire to weaken the regime in Syria: Israel can shape its strategic environment, in cooperation with Turkey and Jordan, by weakening, containing, and even rolling back Syria. This effort can focus on removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq an important Israeli strategic objective in its own right as a means of foiling Syrias regional ambitions. Russian FM: Airstrikes on Islamic State could be used to Weaken Assad Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned the world last month that the US-led airstrikes against Islamic State (IS) in Syria could also target Syrian government forces in an attempt to weaken the positions of Bashar al-Assads army. U.S. envoy to the United Nations, Samantha Power, recently reiterated that Washingtons objective in Syria is the removal of al-Assad from power in Damascus and that the moderate Syrian opposition provides the best alternative to the al-Assad regime. What Power omits from her statement though is that IS is a key part of the Syrian opposition and has been battling the Syrian government with the financing and support of the west for years now. The reality is that the al-Assad regime will remain in power for decades to come unless the Western elite is able to justify military strikes against key military and energy targets inside Syria. A History of Turkish False Flag Attacks on Syria An article by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh in April of this year titled: The Rat Line and the Red Line, argues that the gas attack last year in Ghouta was an attack carried out by the Syrian rebels with the planning of Turkish authorities as opposed to the Syrian government. In the article Hersh quotes a former intelligence official as stating: We now know it was a covert action planned by Erdoans people to push Obama over the red line. As soon as the gas attack hit the mainstream press in the West, the calls for war went into overdrive. War was only averted due to massive public opposition to the move which forced the British parliament to vote against intervention in Syria, as well as the Russian government brokering a deal to place the Syrian governments chemical weapons supplies under international control. The notion that Turkey is capable of planning such a malevolent attack was strengthened when officials from the top echelons of the Turkish government were caught red handed discussing a false flag attack on their own territory, in order to justify a war with Syria earlier this year. The officials are heard discussing the possibility that they could arrange an attack on the tomb of the grandfather of the founder of the Ottoman Empire, Suleiman Shah, which is situated in a Turkish enclave in the Syrian city of Aleppo. Hakan Fidan, the head of Turkish intelligence is heard saying in the leaked audio tape: We can also prepare an attack on Suleiman Shahs tomb if necessary, Fidan continues, Listen, listen commander if its a pretext well give you one. Ill send over four men and have them fire right rockets on an empty lot. Thats not the problem, pretexts can be arranged.

3	Leaked Global Terrorism Database Reveals 2.2 Million People Tracked by Intel AgenciesBy Jay Syrmopoulos The security researcher says the database is from mid-2014 and contains millions of heightened-risk individuals and organizations, which it places in one or more of a number of categories, including terrorism, money laundering, organized crime, bribery, corruption, and other unsavory activities, according toreports. Reddit user Chris Vickery says he obtained a copy of the database, although he wont reveal how until a later time. Terrorism Blacklist: I have a copy. Should it be shared? from privacy On its website the company describes the database as a tool to screen for heightened risk individuals and entities globally to help uncover hidden risks in business relationships and human networks. They claim the tool covers 240 countries and territories, while monitoring over 530 sanction, watch, regulatory and law enforcement lists. The database has come under scrutiny by critics who claim that the list is inaccurate and there is a risk that some individuals are classified incorrectly. Highlighting this phenomenon, in 2014, a number of British citizens had their bank accounts closed after they were judged too risky by HSBC. These individuals appeared on the World Check database, which the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) found was sourcing some information from inaccurate sources such as Wikipedia, blogs, and unsubstantiated news reports. Similarly, an investigation by VICE found that a number of inaccuracies, including a former World Bank and Bank of England advisor, an American civil rights leader, and a respected British anti-extremism campaigner all three of whom are Muslim were all flagged for terrorism in the database. The sheer scope and breadth of the list astounds the mind, and the fact that there are 2.2 million people flagged as heightened risk individuals and entities is nothing less than alarming. When secret lists are used to designate individuals as a security risk, with no appeal to prove one does not belong on the list, they become a clear danger to a free and open society. Jay Syrmopoulos writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. where is the list i am pretty sure they put me on one For the average sovereign, this is a list without due process and redress. No guidelines. It is completely beyond the Rule of Law. Great Britain was removed from European Union so that Germany and France can be punished for not wanting war with Russia !

3	Western Backed Death Squads Publicly Execute Boy in SyriaBrandon Turbeville Coffee vender Mohammed al-Qatta was captured and killed for stating that he would not extend credit to an unspecified individual Even if Muhammad comes down, a common phrase used by many Syrians. This statement was construed as blasphemy by the death squads who are portrayed as freedom fighters by the Western media and government agencies supporting them. Upon making the statement, al-Qatta was abducted by the death squads and tortured before being publicly executed. UPI reports When they brought him back, the teens head was covered with his shirt and his body bore marks of whipping. The death squads then paraded the young man in front of a crowd that included his parents and siblings, announcing that cursing the prophet is a horrible act and others committing such crimes will be punished. The death squads then shot the boy once in the mouth and once in the neck. The Huffington Post writes that the murderers are believed to be members of a rebel group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, formerly known as the al-Nusra Front. Even the pseudo-organizations like the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights have found it impossible to obfuscate the animalistic brutality of the death squads in this latest act. Indeed, death squad supporter Rami Abdul Rahman has been forced to admit the savagery of groups he has supported for at least the last two years. They spoke classical Arabic, not Syrian dialect, he said. They shot the boy twice, once in the mouth, another in his neck, in front of his mother, his father and his siblings, he added. Ironically, it is reported that the 15-year old victim had taken part in protests against the government prior to his blasphemous remark, thus proving that the death squads which are now being mopped up by Assads forces, are incapable of even the slightest cognitive functions that allow for coexistence. This kind of criminality is exactly what makes people in Syria fear the fall of the regime, Abdel Rahman said. Yet this kind of criminality and gifts to Assad have been taking place ever since the invasion of foreign-backed death squads into Syria two years ago when those efforts began in earnest. Indeed, Rahman and his Observatory have been supporting the death squads throughout the entire ordeal in full knowledge of the atrocities being committed against the Syrian people. Rahman and his organization are clearly aware of 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. Although the mainstream media and Western governments have attempted to blame these attacks (and every other atrocity) on the Assad government, each and every one has, in fact, turned out to be the work of the Syrian death squads, who are themselves funded by Western governments, intelligence agencies, and NATO command structures. Neither Rahman or any other individual or organization supporting the rebels could have overlooked therecent video of Syrian rebel leader Abu Sakkar cutting out the heart of a Syrian soldier and then biting it for the camera. Shortly before biting the mans heart, Sakkar states to the camera I swear to God we will eat your hearts and your livers. The execution of Mohammed al-Qatta, while tragic, merely stands as one more act of savagery on the part of the Syrian death squads. So long as the Western world continues to support them, it is unlikely to be the last. Read other articles by Brandon Turbeville here. Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

1	Saying she would be thrilled to babysit for a couple days, area grandmother Margie Callahan has offered to watch her two grandchildren while their parents spend a weekend desperately trying to revive their marriage, sources reported Monday. Itll be great to have little Ethan and Emma come stay over with Pop-Pop and I, said Callahan, who explained that she could bake cookies with the children, take them to the zoo, and watch Bob The Builder with them during the 48-hour window in which her daughter and son-in-law will visit a nearby resort and spa in an attempt to salvage any romantic feelings that may still exist between them. Well find lots of fun things to do. You two just go enjoy yourselves and dont worry about us. Callahans daughter then reportedly thanked her, adding that if something came up with the kids while she and her husband were away frantically searching for what, if anything, they still find attractive and worthwhile about each other, they would be just a phone call away. 
3	Is the Affordable Care Act (aka ObamaCare) Legal?We have to pass the bill so you can find out whats in it. Then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi Did Duress OR Undue Influence Play a Role in ObamaCare Becoming Law? Reading the above in view of all thats going on nowand in the past three or four years that ObamaCare has been hanging over our headsone has to wonder if it truly is legal, based upon undue influence, the controversy, and the verbal pressures Madam Pelosi used to get it through the House of Representatives. Therefore, ObamaCare is voidable; it should be negated, rescinded, and defunded. Then, the U.S. Supreme Court had to get involved, which it should not have, this writer contends. The Affordable Care Acts requirement that certain individuals pay a financial penalty for not obtaining health insurance may reasonably be characterized as a tax, Chief Justice Roberts wrote in the majority opinion. Because the Constitution permits such a tax, it is not our role to forbid it, or to pass upon its wisdom or fairness. [3] It seems that Justice Kennedy realized that the court was overreachinga BIG no-no, that no one in law has pointed out. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Why? Where are the Constitutional lawyers? But, heres the most telling part of the ObamaCare saga: How have peoples lives all over this country been made more secure since the following has happened in the aftermath of the passing of the most unfortunate Affordable Care Act? And this: The most shocking reality of ObamaCare is that those who probably want and need it the most, wont be able to purchase it: Is ObamaCare designed to bankrupt not only U.S. citizens, but the country itself? The Republican shutdown is warranted, in this writers opinion, until common fiscal sense prevails, if only on the very mathematics of ObamaCare! Now that we know the dirty nitty-gritty about ObamaCares past, present, and apparent future, why are voters so upset about the shutdown? We should be doing what we did about Syria when we realized what was going on there and the apparent dirty politics of national security. Take a closer look at ObamaCare, which was passed into law under most unusual circumstances, i.e., no one in Congress apparently knew what was in the law nor even read all two thousand pages; and then the U.S. Supreme Court went sticking its nose where it didnt belong, i.e., passing legislation. Come on, United States. Wake up and smell the coffee. Weve been had and this maybe our last chance to let the controllers know we mean business: We the People say what we want or do not want, not a tin-hat dictator, nor a court, nor corporations who have been pulling the strings in running the politics of the United States of America.

2	See The Reason Hillary Isnt Running For President The immense criticism that Hillary Clinton has been facing lately comes at a very unfortunate time for her, given rumors that she has hopes to run for president in the 2016 campaign. Skeptics, however, argue that there are a number of reasons that Hillary may be changing her mind about running. Critics have cited the following as (a few of many) reasons why the former First Lady should seriously reconsider throwing her name in the poll. These were originally published in the Chicago Tribune: 
3	Has Washingtons Arrogance Undone Its Empire?Paul Craig Roberts They all hate it, but they love Washingtons money; so they prostitute themselves and their countries for Washingtons money. Even a person of Winston Churchills stature had to suck up to Washington in order to get his bills and his countrys bills paid. But what the bought European leaders are finding is that Washington doesnt pay enough for the prostitution required. One year out of office Tony Blair was worth $35 million dollars. But thats not enough to get Blair on the waiting list for $50 million 200 foot yachts, to have a chalet in Gstaad, $50 million penthouses in Paris and New York, and a private plane to fly between them, or to wear a $736,000 Franck Muller watch on his wrist, sign his name with a $700,000 Mont Blanc jewel-encrusted pen, and drink $10,000 martinis on a rock (gin or vodka poured over a diamond) at New Yorks Algonquin Hotel. In a world in which every member of the Forbes Four Hundred is a billionaire plus or multi-billionaire, $35,000,000 just doesnt cut it. In 2006 the manager of one hedge fund was paid $1,700,000,000 for one years thieving. Another 25 were paid $575,000,000 for their skills in front-running trades. $35 million is probably the annual budget for their household servants. The British seem content in their role as Washingtons favorite lackey, but France and Germany have not enjoyed that role. Frances last real leader, General de Gaulle, would have nothing to do with it and refused to join NATO. Germany, dismembered with East Germany occupied by the Soviets, had no choice. Germans gratitude to President Reagan for their unification resulted in re-unified Germany falling under Washingtons hegemony. However, if news reports from Berlin are true, Germany has had enough. The catalyst was Edward Snowdens revelations that Washington spies on everyone including its allies, both Germany and the EU in particular. Moreover, Washington uses Britain as the Trojan Horse within the EU as a backup spy in case NSA misses something. Who does the Merkel government represent, Germans are asking, Germans or the NSA? Why does the Merkel government kowtow to Washington? The next question will be: what do Washingtons spies have on Merkel? With the German government put on the spot by Washingtons betrayal, news headlines are: Germany Ready to Charge UK and US Intelligence Over Bugging Operations. Little wonder Washington and its media whores hate Edward Snowden. A spokesman for the [German] Federal Prosecutor said the office was preparing to bring charges against the UK and US intelligence services. In light of the Snowden affair, it will be wonderful if Germany issues arrest warrants and Washington and London refuse to extradite its NSA and UK spy operatives who have violated every law and every trust. The German Justice Minister, Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenburger, demanded an immediate explanation why Washington was applying to Germany policies reminiscent of the actions against enemies during the Cold War. The president of France has said that France will not again cooperate with Washington on any issue until France receives full assurances that Washington will cease spying on France. The president of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz, and the EU Commissioner for Justice, Viviane Reding, demand Washingtons answer to Snowdens revelations that Washington has betrayed its own allies. The question that must be asked is: do any of these protests from politicians who are The Tonkin Gulf? Iraqi weapons of mass destruction? Iranian nukes? Assads sarin gas attack? FBI orchestrated terror attacks? It is a proven fact that the US government lies every time it opens its mouth. Compared to Washington, Stalin, Hitler, Tojo, Mao, Castro, Chavez, and Pol Pot were truthful. Washingtons reply to Europes demands for explanation is: We will discuss these issues bilaterally with EU member states, but we are not going to comment publicly on specific alleged intelligence activities. You know what that means. Bilateral means that Washington is going to talk with each EU country separately, using the information NSA has obtained to blackmail each complainant into silence. Whereas the EU together could stand up to Washington, separately the countries can be browbeat and offered more money or threats that illicit love affairs will be revealed to shut them up. Washington is betting on its power to intimidate individual countries with the threat of isolation and being cut off from money. If the EU countries agree to the secret bilateral explanations from Washington, the affair will end and the spying on Europe will continue while Washington and the EU politicians deny that the spying continues. By now the entire world must know that Washington is not merely lawless, but also totally out of control, reveling in arrogance and hubris, driven by desires for hegemony over the entire world. Washington is so paranoid and distrustful that it doesnt even trust its own citizens or the European puppet governments that it has bought and paid for. Washington is the only government that has ever used nuclear weapons, and Washington used them against a defeated government that was trying to surrender. Today the craziness in Washington is much worse. Decision-making councils are full of crazed neoconservative war-mongers, such as National Security Advisor Susan Rice, a threat to humanity. Washington think tanks and media are over-represented by neoconservatives such as William Kristol who wants to know what good are nuclear weapons if you cant use them? The sleazy European politicians and media who took Washingtons money provided for their own economic security, but they betrayed the security of the entire world. By enabling Washingtons hegemony, they unleashed Washingtons arrogance. This arrogance now threatens not merely the independence of every country but life on earth. Instead of meeting unilaterally alone with Washington, the European countries should stand together. After all, supposedly there is an EU. If there is an EU, Washington should meet with the EU, not with its constituent parts individually, no one of which can stand up to Washingtons intimidation and bribes. If thermo-nuclear war is to be avoided and life is to continue on earth, Europe must disband NATO. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was formed in the aftermath of World War II. Its purpose was to prevent the powerful Red Army, which defeated Nazi Germany, from overrunning all of Western Europe. The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, 22 years ago. Yet, NATO still exists. Moreover, against President Reagans intentions, NATO has grown. NATO now includes former constituent parts of the Soviet Empire, such as Eastern Europe, and former constituent parts of the Soviet Union itself, such as Georgia, the government of which is bought and paid for by Washington. The NGOs that Washington funds might even deliver Ukraine into Washingtons fold. Egged on by Washington, Georgia initiated a war with present day Russia, which superior Russian forces quickly ended. In the opinion of many, the Russian government showed far too much tolerance for its defeated enemy, which is being rearmed by Washington and encouraged into new military adventures. Washington is working to make Georgia, located in Asia between the Black and Caspian seas, a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. NATO membership would make Georgia a treaty protectorate of Washington and its NATO puppets. Washington thinks that this elevation of Georgia would result in Russia acquiescing to Georgian aggression in order to avoid war with the US and NATO. China, also, has been amazingly abused by Washington, and instead of replying in kind, has taken it in stride. This magnanimity on the part of the Chinese has been misinterpreted by Washington as fear. The fear that Washington imagines is causing China to quake in its boots has encouraged Washington to surround China with new naval, air, and troop bases. The fact that however numerous are Washingtons bases in the Pacific and South China Sea, Washington itself is an ICBM away has not registered on the ignorant scum that rules Amerika. Overwhelmed by its hubris, Washington threatens all life on earth. This article first appeared at Paul Craig Roberts new website Institute For Political Economy.

1	After walking off stage to a chorus of boos, threats, and obscenities, local Christian rock band Enter the Kingdom told reporters Friday that they now knew exactly how Jesus felt when he was persecuted. 'We were always taught that Christ suffered for the sins of man, but it wasn't until our gig at Pat's Tavern that we actually understood what that meant,' said lead singer Andrew Walker, who formed the band in 2006 with three friends from his Bible study group. 'The fact that Jesus wasn't very popular in his day, or that people hated him for spreading a different kind of message, or even just the ridicule and humiliation he was forced to endureit all became clear to us Friday night.' 'Especially when the crowd started chucking food at our heads,' Walker continued. 'That definitely hit it home.' According band members, the trials and tribulations of the Son of God were brought into sharp focus during their 45-minute music set, from the widespread skepticism they encountered after first taking the stage to the cries for physical torture that filled the local tavern by the end of the night. Bass player Kevin Clark, 26, compared Friday night's harrowing show to 'what Jesus must have braved' at the hands of Pontius Pilate, claiming that while performing he also faced a series of false accusations, including being called the 'King of the Dickheads' by one crowd member. 'It was like the story of Jesus, unfolding right up there on that stage,' said Clark, adding that two police officers randomly checking IDs for underage drinkers also joined in and taunted the band. 'And just like Christ, we did not retaliate for their cruel actions. Not even when the whole 'get off the stage, you pussies' thing really got going.' Enter the Kingdom's guitarist, Bradley Baldwin, was likewise stunned by the similarities between his band's set and the torment of his savior, likening the constant interruptions by hecklers screaming, 'Shut the fuck up,' 'This sounds like fucking shit,' and 'Don't quit your day job blowing priests' to what Jesus went through while being mercilessly flogged and whipped as he carried the cross to Calvary. 'They were jealous and punishing us for our righteousness, because they couldn't face the power and truth of our songs 'Light Of The Lord' and 'The Exalted,'' Baldwin said. 'Plus, they definitely committed the sin of covetousness when they tried to grab Kevin's bass right out of his hands during 'Glorious Salvation.'' Drummer James Mayfield drew a number of parallels between Jesus of Nazareth and the band, telling reporters that both only had about 12 followers and that both were betrayed by their closest friends. 'I'll never forget how our buddy Pete pretended he didn't even know us,' Mayfield said. 'He was standing next to these two really cute girls, and when we asked him what he thought of our set, he just looked at us and totally denied ever liking our music.' Added Mayfield, 'Pete was our No. 1 fan.' Despite the cold and sometimes borderline violent reception, all was not lost Friday night. According to band members, a number of devotees from all walks of life were quite moved by the performance. Some in attendance told reporters they would be sure to attend every future Enter the Kingdom show. 'Dude, that was the most fun I've had in a long time,' said Barry Rouse, 28. 'I can't wait to see these fucking losers again. I'm going to all their lame-ass shows.' 
3	The Reasons We Fight The New World OrderCountless people will hate the new world order and will die protesting against it. H.G. Wells, The New World Order (1940) Throughout our lives and throughout our culture, we are conditioned to rally around concepts of false division. We are led to believe that Democrats and Republicans are separate and opposing parties, yet they are actually two branches of the same political-control mechanism. We are led to believe that two nations such as the United States and Russia are geopolitical enemies, when, in fact, they are two puppet governments under the dominance of the same international financiers. Finally, we are told that the international bankers themselves are somehow separated by borders and philosophies, when the reality is all central banks answer to a singular authority: the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). We are regaled with stories of constant conflict and division. Yet the truth is there is only one battle that matters, only one battle that has ever mattered: the battle between those people who seek to control others and those people who simply wish to be left alone. The New World Order is a concept created not in the minds of conspiracy theorists but in the minds of those who seek to control others. These are the self-appointed elite who fancy themselves grandly qualified to determine the destiny of every man, woman and child at the expense of individual freedom and self-determination. Such elites are often very open about their globalist intentions and ambitions, much like author H.G. Wells, a socialist member of the Fabian Society and friend to the internationalist establishment who put forth his blueprint for world governance in the book quoted above. In this article, I would like to examine the nature of our war with the elite and why their theories on social engineering are illogical, inadequate and, in many cases, malicious and destructive. I have always found it fascinating that while elitists and NWO champions constantly proclaim that morality is relative and that conscience is not inherent, somehow they are the ones who possess the proper definition of the greater good. If good is in all cases relative, then wouldnt the greater good also be entirely relative? This inconsistency in their reasoning does not seem to stop them from forcing the masses through propaganda or violence to accept their version of better judgment. As many psychologists and anthropologists (including Carl Jung and Steven Pinker) have proven over decades of study, moral compass and conscience are not mere products of environment; they are inborn ideals outside of the realm of environmental influences. The greater good is inherently and intuitively felt by most people. Whether one listens to this voice of conscience is up to the individual. It is no accident that NWO elites end up contradicting themselves by claiming morality to be meaningless while pronouncing THEIR personal morality to be pure. In order to obtain power over others, they must first convince members of the public that they are empty vessels without meaning or direction. They must convince the masses to ignore their inner voice of conscience. Only then will the public sacrifice freedoms to purchase answers they dont really need from elites who dont really have them. Collectivism I dont claim to know what ideology would make a perfect society, and I certainly dont know the exact solutions needed to get there. What I do know, though, is that no one else knows either. Whenever anyone takes a stage to announce that only he has the answers to the worlds problems, I cannot help but be suspicious of his motives. Rarely, if ever, do I hear these people suggest that more liberty and more individualism will make a better future. Instead, their solution always entails less freedom, more control, and more force in order to mold society towards their vision. The utopia offered by the power elite invariably demands a collectivist mindset that the individual must give up his self-determination and independence so the group can survive and thrive. The problem is no society, culture or collective can exist without the efforts and contributions of individuals. Therefore, the liberty and prosperity of the individual is far more important than the safety or even existence of the group. The elites understand this fact, which is why they do reserve some individuality (for their own tiny circle). No matter the guise presented whether it be socialism, communism, fascism or some amalgamation of each the goal is always the same: collectivism and slavery for the masses and unrestrained gluttony for the oligarchs. The Philosophy Of Force If your idea of a better society is a good and rational one, you should not need to use force in order to get people to accept it. Only intrinsically destructive ideas require the use of force to frighten the public into compliance. The NWO is an idea that relies entirely on force. Globalization has been consistently sold to us as part of the natural progression of mankind, yet this natural progression is always advanced through the use of lies, manipulation, fear and violence. The NWO concept is one of complete centralization; a centralization that cannot be achieved without the use of terror, for who would support the creation of a malicious global power authority unless he was terrorized into doing so? The only morally acceptable use of force is the use of force to defend against attack. As the NWO relentlessly presses forward its attack on our freedoms, we, the defenders, are labeled violent extremists if we refuse to go along quietly. The NWOs dependency on force to promote its values makes it an inherently flawed methodology derived from ignorance and psychopathy, rather than wisdom and truth. Dishonesty As Policy As with the use of violence, the use of lies to achieve success automatically poisons whatever good may have been had through ones efforts. The elites commonly shrug off this logic by convincing each other that there is such a thing as a noble lie (both Saul Alinsky and Leo Strauss, the gatekeepers of the false left/right paradigm, promoted the use of noble lies) and that the masses need to be misled so that they can be fooled into doing what is best for themselves and the world. This is, of course, a sociopathic game of self-aggrandizement. Lies are rarely, if ever, exploited by people who want to make the lives of other men better; lies are used by people who want to make their own lives better at the expense of others. Add to this the egomaniacal assertion that the elites are lying for our own good when they are actually only out to elevate their power, and what you get is a stereotypical abusive relationship on a global scale. Methodologies that have legitimate benefits to mankind deliberately seek truth and do not need to hide behind a veil of misinformation and misdirection. If a methodology requires secrecy, occultism and deceit in order to establish itself in a culture, then it is most likely a negative influence on that culture, not a positive one. The Hands Of The Few Why does humanity need a select elite at all? What purpose does this oligarchy really serve? Is centralized power really as efficient and practical as it is painted to be? Or is it actually a hindrance to mankind and an obstacle in our quest to better ourselves? Champions of the NWO argue that global governance is inevitable and that sovereignty in any form is the cause of all our ills. However, I find when I look back at the finer points of history (the points they dont teach you in college textbooks), the true cause of most of the worlds ills is obviously the existence of elitist groups. The efficiency of centralization is useful only to those at the top of the pyramid, because it generally stands on a vast maze of impassable bureaucracy. It has to. No hyper-condensed authority structure can survive if the citizenry is not made dependent on it. Centralization makes life harder for everyone by removing our ability to provide our own essentials and make our own choices. That is to say, centralization removes all alternative options from the system, until the only easy path left is to bow down to the establishment. I have never seen a solid example of centralization of power resulting in a better society or happier people. I have also never come across a select group of leaders intelligent enough and compassionate enough to oversee and micromanage the intricate workings of the whole of the Earth. There is no use for the elite, so one must ask why we keep them around? The Opposite View Arguing over what should be done about the state of the world is a fruitless endeavor until one considers what should be done about the state of his own life. As long as men are stricken by bias, selfish desire and lack of awareness, they will never be able to determine what is best for other people. The opposing philosophy to the NWO, the philosophy of the Liberty Movement, holds that no one has the right to impose his particular version of a perfect society on anyone else. As soon as someone does, he has committed a grievous attack against individual liberty an attack that must be answered. Our answer is simply that the people who want to control others be removed from positions of control and that the people who want to be left alone just be left alone. Association and participation should always be voluntary; otherwise, society loses value. This is not anarchy in the sense that consequence is removed. Rather, the rights of the individual become paramount; and the liberties of the one take precedence over the ever vaporous demands of some abstract group. The most common retort to this principle of valuing the individual over collective fear is that someone must apply and enforce a structure of law and accountability, otherwise, society will fall apart into a vortex of madness and chaos. And perhaps that is true, though self-governance has never been allowed to exist in the history of man without immediate interference from elitist groups, so no one really knows for certain what would happen. Doing away with overt government control, however, does not mean we do away with law. Natural law, as with conscience, exists in our very biological and spiritual being, and does not require a central authority in order to be defined. Natural law supersedes the laws of men. In fact, the only man-made laws worth following are derived from natural law. The primary tenet of natural law is that no one has the right to impede or erode the inherent liberties of other individuals, as long as they also respect natural laws. The second any person violates the inborn rights of another, he has committed a trespass against natural law. His trespasses against government authority are secondary, if not meaningless. When one understands the unassailable existence and preeminence of natural law, he quickly discovers how trivial governments really are. The ONLY reason for any government to exist is to safeguard individual freedom. Period. The original intent of Americas Founding Fathers was to establish a Nation that fostered this ideal. When government or oligarchy steps outside the bounds of this mandate, it is no longer providing the service it was originally designed for; and it must be dismantled. Unfortunately, it is a universal rule that uncompromising tyranny must often be met with uncompromising revolution. When a new system arises that cannibalizes the old, enslaves our future, uses aggression against us and mutilates our founding principles in the name of arbitrary progress, that new system must be defied and ultimately destroyed. The NWO ideology represents one of the most egregious crimes against humanity of all time, posing in drag as our greatest hope. It is based, fundamentally, on everything that makes life terrible for the common man and everything our inherent conscience fights against. We would be far better served as a species if we were to turn our back on the NWO altogether and move swiftly in the opposite direction. Imagine what tomorrow would be like if there were no controllers, no statists, no despots and no philosopher kings. Imagine a tomorrow where people respect the natural-born rights of others. Imagine a tomorrow where peoples irrational fears are not allowed to inhibit other peoples freedoms. Imagine a tomorrow where interactions between citizens and government are rare or nonexistent. Imagine if we could live our days in peace, independently building our own destinies, in which our successes and failures are our own, rather than the property of the collective. It may not be a perfect world, or a utopia, but I suspect it would be a much better place than we live in today. You can contact Brandon Smith at: brandon@alt-market.com.

3	Iran Frees Americans as Sanctions Are Lifted, Frustrating Warmongers Around the WorldBy Dan Sanchez Within hours of the release, devastating international sanctions on Iran were lifted after international inspectors verified its compliance with the terms of last years nuclear deal between Iran and Western powers. Taken together, the prisoner swap, Irans compliance with its nuclear-deal commitments, and the sanction relief mark what may be a historic thaw in relations between the U.S. and Iran. This, however, should not be exaggerated, as the U.S. continues many belligerent policies directed at Iran, especially in the realm of proxy warfare (see below). The developments at least mark a short-term political triumph for the chief negotiators of the nuclear deal: the administrations of U.S. President Barack Obama and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. Rouhani was elected on the basis of his campaign promise to negotiate detente with the U.S. and to accomplish economic relief from sanctions for the Iranian people. Parliamentary elections in Iran will be held late next month, making the lifting of the sanctions exceedingly well-timed for Rouhanis political party. Conversely, the thaw is a supreme setback to Rouhanis political rivals, the hardliners in Iran who have strenuously opposed the nuclear deal. The hardliners in the U.S., Israel, and Saudi Arabia are certainly furious as well. Israel strained to stop the nuclear deal, and has long pressed for escalation between the West and Iran, largely because of Iranian support for the militia Hezbollah, which has for decades successfully resisted Israeli incursions into Lebanon. Saudi Arabia, which also opposed the deal, has, with American support, been waging a long sectarian proxy waragainst Shia Iran and what the extremist Sunni Saudis perceive as an axis of Iran-allied Shia powers. This war has included Saudi support for jihadis fighting in the U.S.-sponsored insurgency to overthrow the Iran-allied regime in Syria, and a U.S.-supported Saudi air war and starvation blockade of the desperately poor country of Yemen. The hardliners in Washington, Tehran, Tel Aviv, and Riyadh must be especially frustrated, since just days ago they momentarily had what they thought was a surefire excuse to scupper the nuclear deal and escalate toward war. American military sailors had been detained by Irans Revolutionary Guard after they had, for someunknown reason, entered Iranian territorial waters. It is conceivable that military hardliners on both sides had engineered the encounter to sabotage the developing detente. But for all the efforts of neocons and the American corporate media to blow it up into a new hostage crisis, the incident dissolved into nothing as quickly as it appeared. The Obama administration quickly apologized for the encroachment and the Rouhani administration quickly released the sailors unharmed. Then came the prisoner swap, followed by the implementation of the nuclear deal. Once lifted, sanctions will be much harder for hawks to reimpose than they were to maintain. And as Iran continues to free potentially belligerent Americans engaged in suspicious conduct within Iranian territory, it is becoming increasingly difficult for anti-Iran warmongers to paint its regime as an implacable serial aggressor, especially as compared to the extremely militant recent policies of the U.S., Israel, and Saudi Arabia.

If you spot a typo, please email edits@theantimedia.org. this is good news.apparently they were waiting for sanctions to be lifted It sure makes those who want to keep sanctions look bad in hindsightand Kerry and Obama too if they were horse trading when they could have freed them much sooner. It wont stop the war mongering at any rate. Iran has something on us.probably their new oil technology or the The Keshe Foundation also has supplied his native Iran with anti-gravity technology which he claims the Iranians used to bring down a U.S. stealth drone undamaged. Later, so as to show no favoritism, he offered this technology, stored on a USB drive, to every country on the planet including the U.S. Even later, his foundation offered the plasma free energy reactor to the representatives of each country, free of charge. Now that is a foundation! great news!! Yeah, great news indeed! We have an interesting year ahead of us I think. Crashing the global economy will be the trigger for change that scares even me. Get ready for it The US Kabuki theater hardliners are typically the NEOCONS, and the neocons are globalists exactly like the neoliberals (Democrats or DINOs). Iran began adopting major IMF economic neoliberalization structural reforms way back in the 1990s, right after the Iran-Iraq war. This includes substantial foreign investment and the privatization of Irans public assets. Khouhani signed the UN 2030 agenda and was elected on promises of rapidly integrating Iran into the globalist neoliberal system (yes, those exact words) and Khouhani received his PhD from a UK institution. The lifting of sanctions is wonderful for the beleaguered Iranians. However, its a mountain of BS to spin this story into a triumph for Obama and frustration from political hardliners who all answer to the same Masters who no doubt instigated every conflict and war Iran entered in to and are steering them into the arms of the NWO. Iran is adopting SMART GRID and IRAN is being turned into a SMART CITY = Technocracy. One wonders what subterfuge is planned by Israeli leadershit in order to fraudulently blame iranian leadership for an event to be pulled off by MOSSAD agents ensconced inside Iran? Events such as the attack on the USS Cole or the BGM 109 fired into the Pentagon, but blamed on a non-existent airliner flown by non-existent, Moslem pilots alleged to have flown it. No doubt, several such events are planned. This article is a little too dim witted even for glibtards, seriously. Oby got to do more favors for our enemies and we are all one step closer to being rid of the rats for good at great, great cost. 
2	BREAKING: FBI Closes In On Terrorists After Finding Dozens Of Hidden Explosives The FBI was tipped off after a suspicious purchase of over 60 disposable cell phones from Walmart. Later on in the week, a man was hunting when he found a stash of explosives at Mark Twain National Forest right near the Walmart. He immediately contacted the authorities. The explosives were extremely volatile, and were ruled out as being purchased for recreational use. The bombs were homemade pipe bombs and other IEDs. The Explosive Ordinance Disposal Unit was required to come in and deal with the explosives. The FBI is currently investigating and trying to find the owners. Should Missouri double down on security? 
1	As part of uncle-of-the-bride Ronald Schwepp's extensive coverage of the Schwepp-Ploman wedding, a reception-dinner catering cart was videotaped for posterity Saturday. The catering cart, as captured on vieotape for viewing by future generations. The cart has been preserved for countless future generations on one of the four unlabeled two-hour VHS tapes Schwepp filled at the event. 'I was serving plates to some of the back tables when I noticed [Schwepp] videotaping my cart,' said Four Starz Catering employee Erin Ringler, 18. 'It was obvious that he didn't want to miss capturing an important detail of the wedding like what kind of trays the food came on, so I stepped aside to give him a clear shot.' 'At some point in the future, someone might be telling a story about Jen and Travis' wedding and realize they've forgotten how big the catering carts were, or how many wheels they had,' Ringler said. 'That person can now simply refer to the tape.' The shaky, hand-held footage of the tri-level wheelable wooden cart was taken between 6:20 and 6:27 p.m., according to the ever-present read-out in the lower left-hand corner of the video. UCLA film and media expert Randall Phelps praised Schwepp's work. 'Thanks to this exhaustive documentary, future generations of Schwepps and Plomans will not be left to wonder in what manner pieces of the wedding cake were delivered to the tables,' Phelps said. 'Their heirs will know, for the cart will be right before their very eyes on the television screen, as if they were witnessing it firsthand.' 'These progeny will also know which entree selection was preferred, based on Schwepp's shots of the dirty plates on the bus carts,' he added. The catering cart, the subject of seven of the 478 minutes of wedding footage, is one of more than 300 objects videotaped by Schwepp at the event. Among the others: a stack of folding chairs, Cousin Beverly's discarded corsage, the DJ station, a tray of rum and Cokes, the streamers on the bathroom doors, a Chrysler LeBaron convertible in the parking lot, and the soda machines in the vending area down the hall. Equal time is devoted to the exchange of vows, the bushes outside the church, the best man's toast at dinner, and a lengthy pan of the empty hotel jacuzzi. 'Our descendants will not be forced to wonder what happened at the Ramada West on August 14,' Phelps said. 'Our children, our children's children, and their children can see all the events of this sacred day: the ceremony, the dinner, the dance, and Ronald Schwepp's 19-minute van ride from the church to the reception.' The videotapes are now in the hands of the newlyweds, who have filed them safely away on the top shelf of a hall closet, where they will remain untouched, assured of their place in history. 
1	A two-year investigation conducted in five major cities has exposed a widespread campaign by the formidable Rest and Fluids industry to infiltrate thousands of doctors' offices and dictate how they treat minor illnesses. This physician enjoyed an all-expenses-paid trip to Aspen, just for telling his patients to 'relax.' The investigationthe full details of which will be disclosed in this newspaper over the coming monthsdocumented thousands of instances in which sick patients were repeatedly instructed, often verbatim, to 'lie down and drink plenty of liquids.' This treatment, recommended a staggering 4 out of 5 times on average, was in each case prescribed by a physician known to have recently enjoyed a golf vacation courtesy of Big Rest and Fluids. 'You have no idea how deep this goes,' said Dr. X, a physician who wished to remain anonymous. 'They've got everyone, from the pediatricians and family doctors, right on down to the school nurses. We've had the cure for the common cold for nearly 40 years, but it's still 'rest and fluids, rest and fluids.' Why? Because these guys are getting paid through the nose, that's why.' 'The complimentary king-sized beds, the downy soft comforters, the absolutely ravishing women,' Dr. X continued. 'It's a sick, sick world.' The American Rest and Fluids industry first rose to prominence during the Great Influenza Pandemic of 1918, when there existed only meager competition from quarantines and prayer. After gaining influence during the '20s and '30s, mainly through mob connections and a few corrupt U.S. senators, R&F; was again buoyed in 1947 following the introduction of employee sick days. What began as a small-scale racket has today grown into a multinational organization, with billions of dollars devoted each year to pushing its pro-napping, broth-focused agenda. 'At this point, it may be impossible to unseat the power Rest and Fluids has over the American health system,' patients rights activist Oren Michem said. 'With their promises of free La-Z-Boy chairs and high-priced hotel rooms, it's no wonder they've cornered the cold market. Sure, they never come out and ask, 'Can Rest and Fluids count on your loyalty?' But the intention is obvious.' 'It took my son nearly a week to stop sneezing and coughing,' Michem added. 'Who's to say a regimen of strenuous exercise and fasting wouldn't have helped him more?' To date, no doctors have been willing to testify against these so-called Rest and Fluids 'fat cats' for fear it would destroy their careers. In fact, a number of physicians have already been blackballed for prescribing echinacea and other over-the-counter remedies. Worse yet, some fear violent retribution for not toeing the Rest and Fluids line. In 1997, four Chicago doctors who were known to prescribe cough syrup were found dead at the bottom of a pool of NyQuil. Officially, these deaths were blamed on the less-powerful Natural Causes industry, but many still believe the message delivered that day was clear. Representatives of Rest and Fluids have refused to comment on the allegations. 'My clients have nothing to say about this or any other litigation involving R&F;,' said Robert Marconi, one of the industry's legion of high-paid defense attorneys. 'Rest and Fluids has done nothing wrong and will fight these charges for as long as it takes. They can't prove a thing!' With a recent $12.3 million donation to several prominent Washington bureaucrats, Rest and Fluids will most likely continue its stranglehold for decades to come. That is, unless one young and energetic nurse-practitioner from Louisiana has his say. This newspaper has recently learned that whistle-blower Nathan Bellows has collected a mountain of evidence outlining years of blackmail and corruption on the part of R&F.; Evidence, Bellows said, he plans to leak to 12 major media outlets later this week. Bellows lives at 138 Juniper St., Apt. 3H, Folsom, LA, 70437. He goes jogging every morning around the nearby reservoir and is always alone. 
1	Chad Briggs, a radical Marxist and University of Kansas junior, has capitalist parents, campus sources reported Monday. Radical Marxist Chad Briggs, whose parents (inset) are members of the bourgeois elite. 'The proletariat will rise up, and the state will wither away, ' said Briggs, 20, who grew up in the bourgeois suburban enclave of Deerfield, IL, before renouncing his exploitative capitalist ties during the first semester of his sophomore year. 'Only when the workers control the means of production will a truly classless society emerge.' Briggs said he spent the first 18 years of his life under the oppressive thumb of his father, investment banker Richard Briggs, and his mother, elementary-school teacher Judith Briggs, members of the reigning bourgeois elite. 'For years, much like the oppressed St. Petersburg factory worker of 1918, I was controlled by the ruling class,' Briggs said. 'The people who owned the house I lived in told me when to come to the table for supper, when to do my chores, and when to be home on Saturday nights. They even controlled the means of transportation, giving me the keys to their Ford Taurus when and only when they saw fit.' Briggs said his parents still control him, as all capitalist running-dogs do the masses, using their payment of his rent and tuition as a means of influencing which courses he takes. 'I was talking to my father on the phone the other night, and he questioned my enrollment in a film class on the works of Woody Allen,' Briggs said. 'He said, 'This is what I'm spending $21,000 a year on? For you to watch Woody Allen movies?' Even here in college, hundreds of miles from my capitalist oppressors, they still hold sway over me. Until the day I am loosed from their chains, I shall not truly be free.' Committed to fomenting glorious proletarian revolution, Briggs recently quit his 10-hour-a-week coffee-shop job to become co-chair of the radical campus socialist group UPRISE (University Program for Revolutionary Integration of a Socialist Economy). Like many other steps Briggs has taken toward establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat, his joining UPRISE was strongly opposed by his parents. 'My parents don't understand that social order based on class division sows the seeds of its own destruction,' said Briggs, who witnessed class division and worker exploitation first-hand during a Spring Break trip to Cancun, Mexico. 'They just want me to go to business school and make lots of money like my sister Debbie.' 'Then again,'Briggs said, 'why should I care what they think? I don't want to end up like them. All they care about is buying this boat or starting that retirement fund, or trying to convince me to get a Lumina instead of the Jeep I want. It's like Marx wrote in The Communist Manifesto, 'The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.'' Briggs' girlfriend, Jenny Elsinger, is one of the original founders of UPRISE and the person responsible for introducing him to the group. Before meeting Elsinger in September 1997, Briggs said he knew almost nothing of the woes of workers and their lack of control over the means of production and distribution. 'Before the Revolutionary Year 1997, I was pretty much like the rest of the campus bourgeoisie,' said Briggs, stapling copies of the latest issue of the UPRISE newsletter, From Below! 'I was preoccupied with fraternity rush, football games and getting into B-school. I've grown up fast, though, now that I've had a taste of the real world through my involvement with UPRISE.' Next Friday, Briggs said, the bourgeois and proletarian classes will clash violently, when his parents come to campus for Parents' Weekend. 'There's always fighting when my parents come to visit, and this time will be no different,' Briggs said. 'They'll tell me to clean up my hair. They'll tell me to move out of the co-op. They'll tell me to stop fooling around with 'this Communist nonsense.' It is as inevitable as the victory of the workers' revolution.' 'My parents think this is just a 'phase' I'm going through,' Briggs said. 'Well, I'll tell you what's a phasethe ownership's control of the proletariat. Now, there's a temporary phase.'

2	Muslims Everywhere Are Furious After This State Makes EPIC Stand Against Islam Tension in Texas between city government officials and the Muslim community have been steadily growing over debates about a Muslim Tribunal court. City government officials made a bold move when they approved a bill addressing the influence of the mediation panel, following a push from the community to limit the influence of Shariah law in Texas courts. Muslims are not happy about the decision, and expressed their anger at a council meeting discussing the bill. Beth Van Duyne, the mayor of Irving, TX, has received the most media attention for her involvement in the bill, and is as a result under serious fire from the Muslim community. Recent events have put me under attack and I need your help now! Van Duyne announced in a statement on social media. Stand with me to help fight for conservative values and the Constitution. What do you think? Do you support the stand against Shariah law? 
3	Riding The Unicycle Of Human HistoryRichard William Posner samsara:n. Hinduism Buddhism The eternal cycle of birth, suffering, death and rebirth. Whats to be done about the impending collapse of civilization as we have known it? What sort of plans and preparations should we be making? Shall we prepare for a revolutionary war, streets red with blood, father against son, brother against sister? Is there any way to stop the impending fall of the empire? Do we even want to? Is there any chance that something better will rise from the ruins once the apocalypse has wrought its devastation? It would seem that much of the evidence to be taken from our brief history would lead to the conclusion that the human species is simply doomed to repeat the same, self-destructive cycle until it joins all the other failed evolutionary experiments in extinction. It looks as if that goal is now not far off. If thats indeed the case, then pick your favourite post-apocalyptic action movie and plan accordingly. Fortify, weaponize, hoard and prepare to kill or be killed. Same as it ever was. Trying To Balance The Unicycle I have searched, with great persistence, throughout more than fifty years, for some crumb of optimism in the annals of human folly. That quest has left me a devout pessimist. Nonetheless, despite all indications to the contrary, I find I cannot escape the conviction that, somehow, the human race will manage to achieve its full potential, which I imagine to be far beyond anything we have even thought to attain thus far. That Was Then, This Is Now When I look at this present cycle and compare it to those past, I see all the familiar characteristics of the stereotypical imperial samsara, with one major exception; never before, as far as I can determine, has this scenario been played out upon a truly global stage. In very simple terms: through a process called ponerogenisis, a ruling power becomes a pathocracy, which is by nature inhumanly oppressive and tyrannical, causing great suffering for the majority. When people thus abused finally reach a point beyond which they can be pushed no further, they take up arms against their oppressors and, after much violence and death, the existing regime is overthrown, a new one replaces it and the entire self-destructive cycle begins again. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Pete Townshend, The Who, Wont Get Fooled Again, Whos Next, 1971 With some variations in the details, this has been basic human history since the Neolithic revolution. However it happens, the collapse is inevitably the result of a pathological ruling class incapable of restraining its lust for power and control. Yes. It really is that simple. Until the present, all empires that have come and gone were relatively localised. They affected a limited number of people within a narrowly defined region. While the Nazi pathocracy was an abortive attempt at a global empire, it never came near success. However, the present capitalist empire, with america as its titular leader du jour, has succeeded where all others failed. Same Game, Lots More Players So, now there is an entire world population being subjected to the same oppression, impoverishment and abuse by a single tyrannical pathocracy; capitalist globalization, embodied in an international banking cartel. The cause for revolution is being homogenised by an actual global empire. What will happen when billions of people, worldwide, all reach the threshold of endurance simultaneously? I think we shall soon know. In every instance of past pathocratic cycles, the forces for ill have always failed; always. When these forces fail yet again, as all empirical evidence indicates they must, on a global scale, I think there is a small chance our species may finally choose to stop being insane; id est, doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result. Fight, Flight or? The single most significant thing we can all do is; stop competing against each other, to everyones detriment. Start cooperating, to everyones benefit and thereby, Promote The General Welfare. Competition is merely a euphemism for war. It always means someone must be beaten, someone must lose, an adversary must be defeated. So we base our every action, our very existence, upon a completely negative paradigm. Aggressive, confrontational, competitive, hostile, exploitive and abusive actions are the exception, not the rule. The broad acceptance of such traits as normal in a society results from many generations of relentless indoctrination. Cooperation means that everyone can win. People working together for the common good is natural human behaviour. When confronted with disastrous events, people invariably forget their contrived differences and revert to their cooperative, helpful and even self-sacrificing natural state. In fact, it is almost certainly this openness and willingness to cooperate that has allowed the few pathological to repeatedly rise to dominance over the many normal. Role Models I think we may look, for some degree of guidance, to the remnants of certain indigenous societies that have survived the onslaught of western civilization. A good example comes from the story of the kunlangeta. A story reported by Dr. Jane M. Murphy, now director of Harvards Psychiatric Epidemiology Unit, serves as an example of the vigilant stance that one millennia-old indigenous culture a group of Inuit in Northwest Alaska takes regarding psychopathic types within their midst. So aware is this group regarding the existence of these individuals that their language includes a term for them kunlangeta which is used to refer to a person whose mind knows what to do but does not do it, resulting in such acts as lying, cheating, stealing and taking advantage of the tribe without making sufficient contribution. And how seriously do the groups members take the need to respond to the threat such individuals pose to the groups sustainability? When asked what the group would typically do with a kunlangeta, Murphy was told Somebody would have pushed him off the ice when nobody else was looking.(source) An isolated but enduring sub-culture such as the Amish may also provide valuable examples of specific methodology. Why Wait Til The Last Minute? Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. Margaret Mead The new communities of tomorrow should be forming now. People able to drop out, to disengage from the current pathological system, must begin building the foundation for a genuine civilization to rise upon. Maybe the hippies were on the right track? Too bad we dropped the ball. Much existing technology will probably remain after the smoke clears. Who then controls it and determines its use could orchestrate a new renaissance, speed the healing of Gaia and enable a quantum leap in our evolution. Scientists and technicians must be brought into the fold. Teachers, doctors, artists, writers, farmers and philosophers and so many more; all will be needed. All ethnicities and former nationalities must be represented. Diversity is crucial. If you are a teacher, talk with your peers. Invite them to a gathering in your home to discuss the creation of supplemental classes to be offered, pro bono, after school and on weekends. Confer with parents and elicit their cooperation. If you are a technician in the energy industry and know your way around solar power, invite others from that field to discuss ways of bringing energy independence to neighbourhoods. Talk to homeowners, form a cooperative, find a way to make it happen. Conspiracy Theories! Start a conspiracy! Conspire with family, friends, neighbours and co-workers to disengage from the mindless consumption machine. Commit your time, skills, resources and energy to being the change. Conspire to build free, open and sustainable communities so your children and theirs will inherit a world still capable of supporting human Life! It must begin somewhere. All it takes is two people talking, cooperating and reaching out to others. Two people conspiring to be free. Two can grow to a hundred. The hundred can become a thousand, a thousand becomes a million, a million becomes tens and hundreds of millions, which all leads to a sustainable land of free people and hence to a healthy, bountiful, free world, supporting a sustainable population of healthy, prosperous and free people. It may take a few centuries of hard effort to reach such a lofty pinnacle. But they will be centuries of success, progress, achievement and enlightenment. No more regression, stagnation, oppression, poverty and ignorance. A Head In The Light Is Worth A Million In The Sand Preparing to survive an inevitable disaster is preferable to pretending it wont happen. Planning to avoid the recurrence of the same disaster in the future is preferable to pretending it will never happen again. If our successors are to have any chance at a future of Peace, Freedom and Equality for all, their minds must be opened to and prepared for a fundamentally and radically different way of Life. chance favours only the prepared mind.

2	Louisiana Town Fines Anyone With Sagging Pants According to recent reports, the Jefferson Davis Parish in Louisiana has taken action against sagging pants. Those in violation of the new ban will be fined $50 for a first offense and $100 for each occurrence thereafter. Reports are attributing responsibility for the passing of the bill to Juror Bryon Buller, who conveyed his hope that the limits would extend beyond government facilities. The law makes it illegal for anyone to show their undergarments in public to limit indecent and lewd behavior. Of course, several liberal groups have come forward to claim that the new law is racist and unconstitutional. Lets not forget, however, that this trend stems from the early 90s, after prison inmates were banned from owning belts. What do you think? Are sagging pants unacceptable? Should they be banned in public? 
2	Trey Gowdy Makes Major Breakthrough, Hillary Has No Where To Run Its hard to believe that anyone can stand behind Hillary Clinton as the Democratic presidential candidate for this country. Those who see her for the criminal she really is are becoming increasingly frustrated with the fact that she continues to avoid justice. Fortunately, Congressman Trey Gowdy is fighting to hold the former Secretary of State accountable, even if it means putting his own career and reputation on the line. So far, she has evaded all of his attempts to take her down. But that could all change. Recently, Gowdy noted that American voters vigorously disagree with the way the Justice Department has handled Hillarys prosecution. The people, he argued, have the power to replace them with a new justice Department. That means this case is dead in the later, he added, before amending his own statement to say. It is dead in the water other than what I said in the past. There are multiple groups in our culture that provide oversight. There is the executive branch, theres Congress, theres you in the media, but on November 8th, the real jury gets to weigh in, and if they think this Department of Justice has been publicized, they are welcome to replace it with another Department of Justice, he concluded. What do you think? Is it up to the American people to make sure We dont let Hillary off the hook? 
3	9 Million Lbs. of Diseased and Unsound Meat May Have Reached 35 States, Says USDAMelissa Melton Thus, the productsare adulterated, because they are unsound, unwholesome or otherwise are unfit for human food and must be removed from commerce, FSIS concluded. The massive recall resulted in Nestl voluntarily recalling a bunch of its Philly Steak Cheese variety of Hot Pockets. On February 8th, FSIS updated its official statement to reflect that beef products associated with recall 13 were shipped to distribution centers and retail establishments in California, Florida, Illinois, Oregon, Texas and Washington. Now the USDA is saying this diseased and unsound meat may have reached as far as 35 states and Guam. Thousands of retailers have been added to a list of companies that could have received beef products from the producer, Rancho Feeding Corp., since the February recall, the USDA said. The retail list has been growing as more customers have been notified, USDA spokesman Adam Tarr told CNN Friday. The list could expand. The USDA will continue to update the list so that the affected products can be removed from commerce, he said. (source) Even though the recall began in January with just 40,000 pounds, its more than a little disconcerting that the government is just now announcing two months later that nearly 9 million pounds of this stuff is all over the country and could cause serious health consequences up to and including death. By the governments own statements, this story probably isnt over yet.

Hey, theyre not bad people, and I appreciate that they let me ride in the car sometimes, but do I think of them as my own family members? God, no, the canine said while scratching behind his right ear with his hind leg, adding that he had no say in the matter when he was adopted and spends as much time as possible in the backyard to distance himself from the ODonnells. Have you seen these guys? Theyre kind of loud and obnoxious, they sit on that couch all the time looking at their phones, and theyre not at all into throwing around the tennis ball. Just look at [father] Rob [ODonnell]guys a complete mess and cant even walk to the park without getting winded. No way Im one of them. At press time, Peppers stance was reaffirmed when Denise ODonnell made him sit and beg for several moments before letting him have a piece of cheese.

1	With not a single scientist having successfully observed the behavior despite extensive ongoing research, the field of biology has made no progress in its understanding of how birds have sex, experts at the University of California told reporters Wednesday. Through 2,500 years of recorded natural history, hundreds of thousands of hours of fieldwork, and the testing of innumerable hypotheses in regard to the mechanism by which avifauna reproduce, not one instance of bird sex has been reliably documented, photographed, or described, according to the biologists. Weve spent considerable time and effort attempting to unravel the mystery of sex among bird populations, but unfortunately it remains one of the great unanswered questions in our field, said ornithologist Daniel Abramson, who added that he has studied hundreds of bird species in habitats all across the globe, spending the bulk of his 28-year career staring through binoculars and crouched behind blinds in fruitless attempts to catch them in the act. We can say for certain that eggs emerge from some part of a birds anatomy, and we know baby birds hatch from those eggs. But beyond that, we honestly have no idea how it works. We havent ruled out the possibility that the feathers may in fact be the genitals. Do they secrete something onto each others feathers and absorb it through their skin? he continued. Do they fly very high and have sex so far up in the sky that were unable to observe it? At this point, no one can say for sure. Abramsons colleagues echoed his frustration and enumerated the vast array of theories currently being considered. These include the idea that male birds may be fertilizing the eggs in some way after theyve been laid, as well as the hypothesis that all birds are females that produce clones of themselves. While unable to elaborate any further, the biologists also put forth the possibility that flying in a V formation or perhaps that thing on turkeys necks has something to do with the process. A number of experts also reportedly subscribe to the notion that birds are one gender of an entire class of organisms, and bats are the other, complementary, gender. Most bird observations occur during the day, but its possible that birds are having sex in the middle of the night when its very dark and theyre hard to see, or maybe inside clouds where we cant glimpse them at allor maybe it occurs both in clouds and at night, said animal physiologist James Bosley, a proponent of the theory that currently has the most traction among biologists, which suggests that most birds reproduce by flying directly into each other at high speeds. My own research team is currently looking into whether ducks are doing it under water each time they dip beneath the surface, out of our view. Before that, we looked very carefully at birds that get close to each other and start flapping their wings around a bunch, but it turns out that in those instances theyre usually just pecking at the same piece of food, he added. Bosley went on to state that for years, scientists had assumed migratory birds only engaged in sexual intercourse after flying south for the winter, a theory that was later abandoned after a group of North American ornithologists traveled to a conference at the University of So Paulo and met Brazilian colleagues who had long believed the exact opposite to be true. At this point, were not even sure if birds have genitals, said Felicia Lopez, a comparative anatomist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Weve searched all over their bodies, but there are a lot of feathers down where you would expect something to be, and it makes it pretty hard to see anything. To be honest, though, it doesnt look like theres much there at alljust look at how smooth they are. Its hard to picture where a penis would even go. We havent ruled out the possibility that the feathers may in fact be the genitals, she continued. Nevertheless, Lopez remarked, biologists remain hopeful, believing that more advanced methodologies will allow them to make the first-ever direct observation of bird sex sooner rather than later. Its only a matter of time before were peering through the brush and finally catch sight of birds in the act of copulation, she said. As we speak, several of my colleagues are out in the field dressed up like birds and strutting seductively around the animals natural habitats in attempts to finally witness bird sex firsthand.

Race-baiters were fuming by Darren Wilsons Tuesday night interview, in which the Darren Wilson told the world that his conscience was clear and he added that just doing his job when he shot Michael Brown. I dont think he wanted to kill my son, but he wanted to kill someone, McSpadden said. He [Wilson] says that his conscience is clear. How can your conscience be clear after killing somebody even after it was accidental death? she added. McSpadden began to cry, saying that she couldnt even donate her sons organs. She also expressed disbelief at Wilsons claim that Brown was the aggressor. I dont believe a word of it. I know my SON too well, he wouldnt provoke anyone like that. In spite of their anger, the grieving parents also called for peace in Ferguson. We continue to ask for calm and protest with them in a peaceful manner, McSpadden said.We cant be held accountable for others actions. We want change, Michael Brown Sr. added. We dont accept our son is gone, but were dealing with it. We want change all over.

Talk of the incident raged when San Diego TV station KSWB-TV made a controversial error on Friday night. While covering the story of a rape suspect having charges dropped against him, the station accidentally aired a picture of President Obama with the story. As the cherry on top, the caption under his photo read no charges. Yeah there was an accident when they had an over-the-shoulder display, KSWB assignment editor Mike Wille told the Times of San Diego. It wasnt on purpose. Still, the station is finding itself in boiling hot water. Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

Its definitely too late for me to go back to school, and Im not going to get an office job or anything like that with the rsum Ive got, so I figure, why not just stick with what Ive been doing, said Wells, adding that hes okay with his current schedule of rehearsals and occasional late-night gigs and has grown accustomed to living in small apartments anyway, so he didnt see much of a problem with continuing to strive after his lifelong goal for the indefinite future. Its not like anyone really expects anything different from me anymore, either; they all pretty much ask about how the band stuff is going right off the bat when I talk to them. So, I guess Ill just keep doing this from here on out. Wells went on to say that he foresees no real issues with his plan to keep following his dreams, provided that his roommate of eight years doesnt suddenly decide to move out.

3	Pentagon Paid Sports Franchises to Broadcast Military PropagandaBy Mac Slavo Apparently, flag waving, crowd saluting, veteran tributes and declarations of support for the troops and other nods to the military/guard that take place at the average professional sports game during half time while crowds eat stadium dogs and drink down beers and look on gloatingly werent spontaneous displays of patriotism. Instead, they were stage-managed military PR events that came with a price tag for taxpayers. Expenditures by the Pentagon and National Guard to buy sponsorship and promotional deals with numerous NFL teams, NASCAR and other sporting arenas have come under scrutiny with some members of Congress: The Pentagon would have to justify the military necessity of spending millions on sports sponsorships under a measure approved Thursday by the Senate. [] The Pentagon has given millions to professional sports leagues in recent years in exchange for patriotic tributes. [] From 2011 to 2013, the cost of the Guards NASCAR sponsorships totaled $88 million. Its sponsorship of NASCAR was aimed at building brand awareness for the service, according to the Guard. The Guard announced last summer that it was ending its relationship with NASCAR. [] USA TODAY reported last year that the Guard had spent $26.5 million to sponsor NASCAR in 2012 but failed to sign up a single new recruit. The Guard received about 25,000 recruiting prospects from the program in 2012, with prospects indicating the NASCAR affiliation made them seek more information. But of that group of 25,000, only 20 met the Guards qualifications for entry into the service. Not one of them joined. So the justification is recruitment and awareness, but the deeper effort is the public image of the military itself as an organization. Besides being wasteful spending, it basically amounts to sleazy, pay-for-play patriotism, giving major sports franchises lucrative incentives to embed military tributes and ceremonies into the game and create a picture in the minds of viewers that of an unwavering force for good. The intent of these advertising partnerships is to promote the (National Guard) brand within the thousands of communities in which we serve that results in increased awareness of opportunities the (National Guard) has to offer, said Brown. Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ), for one, was kind of let down by the ruse of self-promotion: [] Flake wrote, giving taxpayer funds to professional sports teams for activities that are portrayed to the public as paying homage to U.S. military personnel would seem inappropriate. Such promotions conjure up feelings of patriotism and pride for most sports fans, and the revelation that these are in fact paid arrangements is disappointing. In some cases, sports fans were misled on the source of the recognition. New Yorkers attending MetLife Stadium, for instance, were not made aware that a hometown heroes segment was anything but homegrown, and had instead been arranged and paid for by military campaigners. During the 2012 and 2013 NFL seasons, for example, the New Jersey Army National Guard paid the franchise between $97,000 and $115,000 for a wide range of advertising and promotion, including a video board feature recognizing hometown heroes and 500,000 digital banner impressions inside MetLife Stadium. A team official who requested anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the issue said the agreement with the New Jersey National Guard had expired but said the club would continue to honor members of the military. The person also said the team should have been clear that the hometown heroes segment was a paid advertisement for the New Jersey National Guard. Heres the war state in full effect the repetitive calls to salute flag and honor veterans all part of a larger effort to hide decades of war and foreign policy blunders behind uncritical calls to support the troops no matter what. This topic has gained scrutiny only through the pressure of budgetary constraints, but the real offense comes from the subtle fascism displayed between mega-corporations, high-profile sporting events and the military-industrial complex. Under the guise of recruitment, the Department of Defense and the National Guard paid millions of dollars for professional and college sporting teams to become part of the propaganda. The celebrity athletes beloved by crowd could lend credence to the endeavors of the military. Meshed into this arrangement are taxpayer funds for new sports stadiums, tax breaks and exemptions for the NFL, NASCAR and other major sporting arenas and a routine housing for propaganda of all kinds. The population has been conditioned to feast at this bread and circuses, and bred to become indifferent and ignorant, and ultimately compliant with the war machine and complex larger military-entertainment empire. And thats just the way theyd like to keep it. You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com, where this article first appeared.

2	Putin Brutally Humiliates Obama In World Stage For Everyone To See According to recent reports, President Barack Obama just met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin has made it clear that he does not respect Obama as a leader, and he once again took the opportunity to humiliate the president. After they both delivered speeches on Syria at the United Nations General Assembly on Monday, the two met privately to discuss Russias decision to support Bashar Assad. According to reports, the conversation quickly shifted to the conflict Obama has single-handedly caused by deciding to support terrorist groups with money and weapons. These resources, Putin pointed out, could have been used in the fight against ISIS. What do you think? Do we need a real leader representing our country? 
3	Targeting Foreign Leaders: Longstanding US PolicyStephen Lendman Fidel Castro survived hundreds of assassination attempts. He knows best how Washington operates. Other leaders werent as lucky. In April 1994, CIA surface-to-air missiles killed Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana and Burundi President Cyprien Ntaryamira. Downing their plane put Paul Kagame in power. He became Washingtons man in Rwanda. Ethnic slaughter continued what began earlier. Its longstanding US policy. It advances Americas imperium. Mobutu replaced Lumumba in Congo. Pinochet followed Allende in Chile. Saddams gone. So is Gaddafi. William Blum documented 50 CIA foreign leader assassination attempts. Half or more times were successful. Chavez perhaps was the latest. He succumbed to cancer. For decades, America experimented with cancer-causing substances. Expert technologies exist. Assassination and many other ways claimed lives of foreign leaders. Washington eliminated ones it wanted removed. Sometimes it was by unexplained plane crashes. Every time was state-sponsored murder. Evo Morales had just cause to worry. EU allies yielded to US pressure. They obstructed his safe passage home from Moscow. He made an emergency landing. He had to. He was running out of fuel. He might have crash landed. He could have died. Perhaps a CIA missiles planned next time. Chavez knew Washington wanted him dead. Perhaps his final thought was they succeeded. Bolivia formally complained to UN authorities. It cited EU aggression. It claimed a high altitude kidnapping. Washington was largely silent. No explanation worth hearing was forthcoming. State Department spokesperson Jennifer Psaki said: We have been in contact with a range of countries that had a chance of having Snowden land or travel through their country but I am not going to outline what those countries were or when (these contacts) happened. Obama bears full responsibility. He pressured EU nations to comply. Another article said they operate like US colonies. They do so disgracefully in the process. On July 3, Bolivia Rising headlined Faced with US aggression against Bolivian President Evo Morales, UNASUR and ALBA hold emergency meetings, saying: France, Spain, Italy and Portugal revoked airspace passage rights. Morales plane was originally routed Moscow Lisbon. It was done so for refueling. Hours before takeoff, Portugal revoked landing rights. An alternate route was Moscow Canary Islands for refueling. Doing so required overflying France and Spain. While airborne, both countries denied use of their airspace. So did Italy. An emergency Vienna landing followed. Austrian authorities demanded permission to search Morales plane. Doing so violates Vienna Convention international law. Its fundamental. Its inviolable. It protects diplomatic immunity. Morales refused to comply. I am not a delinquent, he said. I am a president and I learned to know and respect international law. It seems that other presidents dont do so. In Vienna, he added: We wont be threatened. We are a small country but with dignity. I tell the European countries, we are not in times of colonization and we wont be intimidated. This is the time of the peoples. Bolivian Vice President Garcia Linera added: (W)e saw the most shameful page of the political history of some European countries, not only because they violated international agreements but also because they have violated their own dignity as countries. Its verified that the colonies are not in America and Africa. Rather sadly, (theyre) in Europe. Bolivias UN envoy Sacha Llorenti blamed Washington. Orders came from the White House, she suggested. By no means should a diplomatic plane with the president aboard be diverted from its route and forced to land in another country. On Tuesday, angry peaceful protesters gathered outside Frances La Paz embassy. Latin American leaders cried foul. Shakespeare explained best. They doth protest too much, methinks. Public anger conceals business as usual. Affairs of state matter most. Bristling comments make good headlines. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Elias Jaua called it an abuse to have put Evo Morales life in danger. We call on all countries, above all those in Latin America and the Caribbeanto make declarations regarding this abuse. The least important thing is if Snowden was on board or not. Were talking about a presidential plane, with special licenses. Portugal and France should take responsibility (for their actions). Theyre a real violation of all the norms ofimmunity of a president of a republic and of the sovereignty of countries and of official flights. Venezuela holds the United States government, and all the governments who have denied flight permission to the presidential plane of brother president Evo Morales accountable, for the life of president Evo Morales, for his dignity as president. Snowden faces an empire which tries to control the world. Argentinian President Christina Kirchner called what happened madness. The Havana Times headlined Cuba Denounces Affront to Evo Morales. It published a Ministry of Foreign Affairs Statement. It said in part: Refusal to grant Morales overflight and landing rights constitutes an inadmissible, unfounded and arbitrary act, an offense to all of Latin America and the Caribbean. It cannot be tolerated for any reason whatsoever, an act which damages all of Our America and deserves international repudiation. Cuba calls on the international community to mobilize against these violations of international law and human rights. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro twittered solidarity with Morales, saying: (F)rom Venezuela we will respond to this dangerous, disproportionate and unacceptable aggression. I am in contact with Evo. They have violated all the international immunities that protect heads of state, because of the imperial obsession. Ecuadors Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino said (w)e will not allow this affront against a Latin American leader. Organization of American States (OAS) secretary general Jose Miguel Insulza expressed profound displeasure.Nothing justifies an action as disrespectful to the highest authority of a country. OAS operates out of Washington. Its members include 35 countries. Their deference to America is longstanding. They largely serve capital, not populist interests. They value multilateral trade relations. Theyre beholden to Washingtons economic leverage. Its eroding. It hasnt ended. It remains significant. Its losing influence. Imperial dominance fades slowly. Its shelf life has a long way to go. Its markets are too valued to lose. Its capital has divine rights, but less so. Its military mights too formidable to ignore. Latin leaders rail about interventionist America. They recall earlier dark times. Despots replaced democrats. Territories were annexed. Nations became colonies. Latin America no longer is Washingtons backyard. One day perhaps itll be entirely free. Maybe later. Not now. Nations able to bully others to comply have power. Changing things take unity to resist. Breaking free matters. Countries exerting sovereign rights over subservience inspire others. Fidel did and survived. Rauls 82. Chavez did. Hes gone. Maduro, Morales, Correa, Cubas next generation, and others matter. Its their job to free Latin America from Washingtons scourge. Doing so involves more than rhetorical posturing. It takes fortitude. It requires supporting right over wrong. It takes action, not words. Hopefully enough regional leaders are up to the challenge. Hopefully others will join them. Change requires they do so. Sovereign freedoms its own reward.

3	America Embraces The Tyranny Its Founders Fought To RejectBy Mike Maharrey That may seem like a stinging indictment, but careful examination of U.S. governance today reveals that it rests on essentially the same philosophical foundation as the 18th century British system Americans rejected. The founding generation developed a brand new conception of government, resting it on the consent of the governed and the idea that governing institutions must operate within constitutional constraints. Today, we still see the vestiges of those founding ideals in political rhetoric and popular conscience, but the U.S. government long ago threw off constitutional fetters and now functions much like the English system Americans fought to free themselves from. In Rights of Man, Thomas Paine captured the essence of American constitutionalism that evolved during the Revolution, characterizing the Pennsylvania constitution as a political bible. Nothing was more common when any debate rose on the principles of a bill, or on the extent of any species of authority, then for members to take the printed Constitution out of their pocket, and read the chapter with which such matter in debate was connected. In America, law was king and constitutions stood as the supreme law of the land. It wasnt that the British system lacked a constitution, but the English conception of its place in the political order was vastly different than the one that evolved in the American states. In American thought, constitutions remained above governments. They limited the action of every governmental branch, and political systems were subject to words of their constitutions. In short, constitutions stood as the supreme law of the land, and the entire system of government flowed out of them. The Supremacy Clause in the U.S. Constitution captures the essence of American constitutional thought. This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding. [Emphasis added] In the English conception, the constitution was not a superior law set above the government. In a sense it was the government. The actions of Parliament, the courts and the King formed the substance of the constitution and were in no way limited by it. In the British system, the people were not sovereign Parliament was. In essence, the government itself enjoyed supremacy. As historian Gordon S. Wood put it in the Creation of the American Republic, any limits on Parliament were strictly theoretical even moral and natural law restrictions. Constitutional and legal limits only bound lawmakers as far as lawmakers were willing to be bound. For the Englishman, there was no distinction between the constitution or frame of government and the system of laws. They were the same. Every act of Parliament was, in essence, part of the constitution. Wood quotes Blackstone to make this point. The English constitution therefore could not be any sort of fundamental law. Most eighteenth-century writerscould not conceive of the constitution as anything anterior and superior to the government and ordinary law, but rather regarded itself, as that assemblage of laws, customs and institutions which form the general system; according to which the several powers of the state are distributed, and their respective rights are secured to the different members of the community. The English constitution was not, as the Americans eventually came to see with condescension, committed to parchment. [Emphasis original] Wood makes the implications of this system crystal clear, writing, All law customary and statutory was thus constitutional. In a nutshell, the 18th century British system the Americans went to war to free themselves from rested on a living, breathing constitution. The government itself defined and enforced whatever limits it might have. Essentially, it was unlimited in power and authority. As American political thought evolved, the English systems became absurd. Political power was conceived as limited, first by principle, and second by the will of the people as expressed through written constitutions. The founding generation believed equity justice according to natural law or right bound and limited all political power. Government served a limited purpose, as Thomas Jefferson put it in the Declaration of Independence, to secure these rights, life, liberty and property. It followed that the people establishing government retained the right and authority to maintain it within those limits. Government was not supreme; it was merely an agent of the people. Written constitutions served a limiting purpose. They provide the political bible Paine referred to, specifically circumscribing the scope of governmental power. As Paine put it: A constitution is not the act of a government, but of a people constituting a government; and government without a constitution, is power without a right. Within this philosophical framework, a sovereign government institution such as Parliament is fundamentally tyrannical. Even a casual look at American governance today reveals a system having much more in common with the 18th century British model than the one the founding generation forged nearly 250 years ago. America operates under a living breathing constitution with the U.S. Supreme Court taking on the role of sovereign. In 1776, the British Parliament acted with absolute sovereign authority. Today, the federal government rules with that same kind of unlimited power. The federal government determines the extent of its own authority through the Supreme Court. Any limits on Congress or the president are merely theoretical, constrained only by the whims of five out of nine politically connected lawyers. Every opinion of the Supreme Court becomes part of the fabric of the Constitution. For all practical purposes, the federal government today operates without any limits at all. Everything the federal government does and approves is considered constitutional. Even though the founders committed the U.S. Constitution to parchment, judges, politicians and academics have morphed the meaning of words and changed the character of the supreme law of the land into something that the framers and ratifiers would scarcely recognize. Americans won the Revolution, but they squandered the fruits of victory in a quest for government solutions to every problem. Instead of a limited government committed to protecting basic rights life liberty and property we have an institution that attempts to control every aspect of our lives. We have become what our forefathers sought to destroy. Mike Maharrey writes for the TenthAmendmentCenter.com where this article first appeared. He is the author of the book, Our Last Hope: Rediscovering the Lost Path to Liberty. Americans are not embracing tyranny any more than the Chinese embraced cannibalism during the Great Leap Forward. They are just going with the flow, trying to survive. You couldnt be more wrong. As far as I am concerned you embody the cowardice that typifies the amercian SUBJECT today. The fence sitters that go along to get along, bowing to perceived authority, ( which by the way have become completely corrupt) instead of having the intelligence, responsibility, maturity and courage to follow the principals and standards that have proven to serve healthy and sane people no matter their race creed color or religion. I agree with everything you wrote, except the first two sentences I struggled with this for a few years before recognizing that most parents really do put their kids first. They wont stand up (even though they believe they should) as the backlash will harm their families. This is an uncomfortable truth of history that is now affecting America. This is why I have taken a physical stand against the tyrannybecause of my neighbors and co-workers who are good people at heart but dont think they can put their families at risk. I am standing for them. We can either get this done cooperatively and by supporting one another where and how we can or we can spin our wheels bemoaning how hard the sheeple are making this revolution. Im not okay with this but reality is what it is. Keep up the fight my compatriots. We are making progress. I believe we are close to the critical mass to turn the tide. Its not going to be easy or pretty and many will suffer along the way. Such is the nature of change. We allowed this greatly under Bush using patriotism as a means for war and if you were not with him your obviously a terrorist in the making and part of the problem. Now Obama has taken that a step further and declare anybody who is for straight marriage a terrorist to communism. With Bush muslims were the enemy with Obama American citizens were the enemy while both Presidents used bigger and bigger government to get their way at the expense of the tax payers dollars. Good piece. Very good. You said a lot in very few words as opposed to your opposites, the politicians, who say nothing in long speeches. In my mind there are two major contributors to the reason the american people are embracing this tyranny. 2) Conditioning. When you tell a lie loud enough and long enough the truth becomes foreign. The solutions for these abnormal conditions are truth and encouragement Your abusers know this and that is why they try to make you believe the situation is hopeless. Fiat currency and redundant taxation keeps folks kinda busy too. John 13: 18th-century Americans (non-Christians and Christians alike) tragically embraced the constitutional framers tyranny against God when they usurped His exclusive executive, legislative, and judicial authority, per Isaiah 33:22, etc. Google online Chapter 4 Article 1: Legislative Usurpation of Bible Law vs. the United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective. Then Chapter 5 Article 2: Executive Usurpation and Chapter 6 Article 3: Judicial Usurpation. Then find out how much you REALLY know about the Constitution as compared to the Bible. Take our 10-question Constitution Survey in the right-hand sidebar and receive a complimentary copy of a book that EXAMINES the Constitution by the Bible. Are you intentionally misinterpreting the scriptures or are you just unable to understand them? To make the claim that the U.S. Constitution usurps Gods authority, you have show from the scriptures that God forbids man to exercise temporal authority over other men. You cite Isaiah 33:22, For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us. Then you imply that ONLY the Lord can judge, legislate and rule. If man does any of that, man is usurping Gods authority. The only problem with your logic is that when Isaiah said that, there were kings in Israel and he didnt declare they were usurping Gods authority. So you are definitely wrong. The U.S. Constitution, a contract between men and their earthly government, does not usurp Gods ruling authority. Gods covenant with man is not effected by the Constitution. Just for the record, I think you are intentionally twisting the scriptures to push your agenda of abolishing the U.S. Constitution. The only problem with your logic is that when Isaiah said that, there Then how do you account for a prophet of God, Samuel, anointing Saul king? Seems that God endorses earthly mortal kings contrary to your stupid theory that the every existence of earthly kings usurps Gods authority. Was it not sin against Yahweh? Did Yahweh not speak to Samuel that the people Israel had rejected the Creator Himself? Youve been caught and now you strain to explain. Christ said a house divided cannot stand. If, as you argue, God condemns the practice of having kings rule as a usurpation of His authority, why did God through His prophet anoint one? You can stop straining to explain. Just relax and choose honesty. God does not consider earthly monarchs a usurpation of His authority. As I just mentioned, He has actually anointed one. The U.S. Constitution is a legal framework for a government and, as such, is authorized by God just as He has authorized a king. You cannot show from the scriptures where God considers contracts between men such as the Constitution to be, as you put it, a sin against Yahweh. Your position is completely untenable by any measure and to champion it is complete foolishness on your part. My dear brother, you are in for the biggest shock of your eternal existence when you stand before Him. Didnt think you could come up with an intelligent defense of your fringe theology. The only remaining question is how long will you squirm and cling to something that is so wrong that it cant be defended by appeal to the Bible or even human logic? I would ask you the same. If he stay his course he will be judgedJohn Ch 5rest assured the lake of fire has plenty of room! Sure glad God will be the judge not you, Vernon. Remember that judge not passage? Back from the West Indies? Pull another chain SWINE.Im not biting Is that how preachers talk? Or are you besmirching a real preachers name. Nice try SWINE.STILL NOT BITING You just did. Hello Brother..I see you have decided to cast a few more pearls before this swine? There are some things that have to be answered. Obviously confirming that I am not an impostor, and in fact a real person with a long documented history of Christian service isnt very important. Therefore things that have to be answered tend to be somewhat subjective according to who is responding?? While I do see your point, Im done with this fool-in-his-folly. Just grieved a brother refuses to see what is obvious. I guess now I get the undesired position of treating him as unsaved (heathen) according to Matthew 18:17. Truth is not hard to uncover if one or more are so inclined. There are some out here that are just ignorant, twisted and are spiritually blinded which is a symptom of unbelief. Godspeed to You my brother! How can you take notice of the speck in your brothers eye when you have a beam in your own. One with a beam can still SEE the speck, but he might not be able to remove it for his brother if his own vision is impaired. The individual to whom I was referring has an entire lumber mill in his eyes, proved by his own tongue,and is not my brother but a charlatan. Frankly, I suspect you might be the same individual cowering behind another fake name and avatar. Let me get this straight. On a passing note Mike Maharrey claims what he was taught in U.S. school was true. That means that no branch can overrule the Creator, rights of the people, the people, nor the U.S. Constitution. Top to bottom hierarchy of types of governments: There was a 60s movie Bless the Beasts and Children where at the end children freed a farmers sheep flock and the heart leaping stirring music as the sheep escaped the farmers fences stopped when the sheep were about 50 feet outside the farmers fence. One underlying message there was as I recall that they were sheep and what else did you expect? Although the sheep did not realize it they needed grass, water, shelter and safety for their flock to survive and only the farmers can provide it. Hardly any of us can live in NYC or LA or any city and not wear the yoke of coercion. Its the price we pay for our lifestyles in America and anywhere else on this planet for that matter. There are some steps we could take but that would require Donald Trump type presidents for several terms to get the job done and an electorate willing to pay the price and vote them in. Its important that America reclaims the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. Our current branches of government must be required to adhere to the precepts the framers of the Constitution constructed to protect the rights of the people. The Federal Government has returned to the same tyrannts that our fore fathers fought to free us from. The Constitution must be of and for the people not a government that doesnt answer to the people. This is what Americas Federal government has morphed into which must be reigned for the sake of Americans freedom and rights provided by the Constitution. The people in charge with all the cards arent the ones going to call a misdeal.and everyone rising up to protest will be labeled by the Government as a radical, terrorist, or mental defective.anything so that they are able to do as they please with you, and no one else will object. Weve LOST knowledge of our ROOTS. America is suffering from many things. Amongst which is having spent 240+yrs in 1Samuel 8, along with about the same in Hosea 4:6. Delusion and dilution add to these dilemmas. Fear multiplies these things. Faith or fear, choose one. Remember @EdLuces advisory was more like we see it at @EthnicAssets: that the 1st and 2nd waves of Americans are dying and theyve not planted the spores of the kind of liberty that drove them to create a people-first republic. Rather, the subsequent waves of Americans to this day are not people born of colonial idealism but rather folks who have fled tyranny, dictatorships, kingdoms in underdeveloped societies for jobs vs a new way of life. The Spanish speaking populations alone, largely hail from remnants of fascist Spain which was diligently passed on and practised by their defeated scions and esclavos. Where have these migrants from shattered plains of South America or 1970s India decided to send their hard earned monies from the USA? Back home to their autocratic, broken governments and impoverished loved ones. Why didnt the rogue Britons of c.16th America do the same? Because they had no where to go back home to. America was a brave new world. Now, its a land of reluctant patriots, rejected progeny and a vengeful creed. Right now, the USA is a young INDIA with the promise of the same dilapidated fate, where the breed who most resembles the original oppressor (white/Caucasian) will survive. Its because we allowed Bush to steer us into tyranny with his 9/11 TSA security which cutting people from allowing to hug their loved ones in the observation lounge does nothing to stop hijackings. The reason why observation decks and lounges have never been a problem for terrorism is because the then existing checkpoints were far enough from the gang planks of the airliners that allows airport police to respond in the correct amount of time. There was one incident in the JFK airport in the early 00s before 9/11 where a guy with a gun ran past a Delta Check Point that was situated unusually close to the door and the suspect waved his gun around forcing the guard to back off allowing the suspect access to the airplane. He locked himself in the cockpit but they de-powered the airplane so he was not able to start it up. He held up for hours demanding to go to various places and then surrendered after it got hot and uncomfortable in the cabin. Delta Security since then fixed that issue of being too close to the airplane entrance. 
3	Joe Rogan Talks to Immortal Technique
1	The National Archives and Records Administration announced plans Monday to release a special 'framers' cut' of the Constitution featuring five bonus amendments deleted from the original. According to NARA head John Carlin, the new document includes 'more than the 35 lines of never-before-seen provisions sure to thrill history buffs.' Among the goodies: an early draft of the Fifth Amendment protecting citizens from being put in quintuple jeopardy and a rare, unnumbered Amendment granting each member of Congress the right to 'one concubine of his choosing per term served.' The expanded version will also include 'framers' commentary' by Alexander Hamilton and James Madison written in the margins, as well as a 'Making Of The Constitution' document after the list of framers' signatures. 
3	Up In Smoke: Indiana Church allows congregation to light it upBy Bauer Marshall Yes, you read that correctly. Last, month the aforementioned church based in Indianapolis, won the right to light up and spread their gospel, because they were awarded non-profit status from the Internal Revenue Service. One may ask themselves, how was this possible? Well, that would be a very legitimate question. The First Church of Cannabis, is deemed a charity because, donors can deduct gifts made to the church on federal tax returns and when the cannabis congregation finds a location, it will be eligible for a property tax exemption even though neither medical nor recreational marijuana is legal in the state of Indiana. The churches Facebook Page said: What a GLORIOUS DAY it is folks Absolutely BEAUTIFULHAPPY TUESDAY! Our NOT FOR PROFIT 501 C3 status came in today WE ARE 100 % a LEGAL CHURCH All say HALLELUJAH and SMILE REAL BIG! We are OFFICIAL! We dont want to poison people. We want to see them healthy. And cannabis is the healthiest plant on earth, church founder Bill Levin said in an interview with Yahoo News. Levin, did protest against the RFRA. After Pence made the announcement that he would sign it in a private ceremony, I became born again, Levin said. The members of the church, referred to as Cannabiterians, believe in the message of a Deity Dozen, which is their version of the Ten Commandments: Were going to do all the good things that churches do. Celebrate life, love, compassion and good health, Levin said. Everyone is going to leave in a happy, spiritual, healthy way. Levin went on to say, I will bring people up to testify on the podium of life about what theyve learned about those subjects this week, he said. Its a completely interactive service. While the halls of the congregation and stained glass windows are not fogged up with smoke yet, legally, the church could face challenges. According to Daniel O. Conkle, professor of law at Indiana University, consequences are likely. Under RFRA, if charged with possession of an illegal substance, the church would have to demonstrate to a court of law that their marijuana use stems from a genuine religious belief, rather than a contrived excuse to get high. I would say their ability to make that showing is probably pretty doubtful in this case, Conkle told Yahoo News. While I support industrial hemp and medicinal marijuana (see my articles at http://www.falseempowerment.wordpress.com, regarding those topics), even though the Cannabiterians may have found a loophole, it seems like just an excuse to smoke a blunt. - Side Bar: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Alan Gordon 401-304-6020 judges1412@gmail.com New England Cannabis Anti-Discrimination Taskforce (NECAT) Anne Armstrong 402-304-6543 annearmstrongri@gmail.com The Healing Church Police-Handling Guidelines Issued to Cannabis Congregation After Curious Questioning by City, Federal Authorities (video links to police encounter in text below) Anne Armstrong of The Healing Church (a cannabis using religious sect), is issuing guidelines to her congregation and for other Cannabist sects, after repeated encounters with police. Deaconess Armstrong conducted services this past Sunday May 17 2015 at the birthplace of U.S. religious freedom, Roger Williams National Memorial, but not without a hiccup. Federal and City of Providence Police officers were curious about the small service just Armstrong and 4 men because the congregation was smoking cannabis and receiving cannabis oil forehead anointing, which they say is commanded by God and Moses in the Book of Exodus. Armstrongs church has a permit for over 100 people to pray and use religious cannabis next Saturday, May 23rd 2105, at 8:00 pm, but the group lacked a permit to pray in the park on the morning of Sunday 17th May, and a federal Park Ranger sought to intervene. The exchange went as follows [paraphrased]: Park Ranger: You may not break the Controlled Substances Act here. Armstrong: Were not this cannabis is religious [Armstrong hands Ranger her Ordination papers, showing that Armstrong has been clergy since 2002] Park Ranger: Your permit for that is not until next Saturday May 23rd. Armstrong: We dont need a permit to use cannabis in small groups. The Government lacks authority to issue or deny permits for Constitutionally-protected activity under Boardley v National Park Service (2010). Next weeks permit is so when more than 100 people smoke religious cannabis at once, the publics use and enjoyment of the National Park is not impeded. But small groups gathering for Constitutionally-protected activity do not require permits. The congregation then smoked more religious cannabis for an hour, at which point Armstrong started towards the Park Service office to collect her Ordination papers. Then, City of Providence Police officers arrived, and put the Deaconess through the same drill (see linked video), before handing her the Ordination papers transferred to them by the Federal Ranger. Police can be clearly heard to say at 2:10 in the video that they have no problem with cannabis use on the permitted day. Armstrong can be heard (at 2:55-3:00 in the video) telling the officers she was about to drive home with the rest of the cannabis, and that they may inspect it if they wish. They decline. Alan Gordon, Church Canon (Ecclesiastical law researcher) said that the federal and city governments were being silly when they tried to tell Armstrong the Church cant smoke cannabis until next weeks permit. Gordon says both jurisdictions would have a hard time blocking any good-faith religious cannabis use in the future, given a legal test for that called the compelling interest test. According to Gordon, in order for the Government to burden someones religious practice, Government must first prove they have a compelling interest. Letting us smoke in public for an hour, then drive cannabis away with a prior religious cannabis convicted felon like me, without even a background ID check, shows that the United States and City of Providence governments do not consider cannabis prayer interference to be a compelling interest. If other worshipers later got harassed, they could use this evidence of the harmlessness with which we prayed unmolested to undermine any Government claim of compelling interest, says Gordon, who says both jurisdictions finally acquiesced to the truth that religious cannabis use, undertaken in good faith, is better for people than using it in bad faith, and not worth suppressing any longer. Deaconess Armstrong seemed almost a little disappointed not to have been arrested, but, she says: I can see why they would not want to make a test case of this at the birthplace of US religious freedom, but Armstrong and Gordon v National Park Service has a certain ring to it. Police-Handling Guidelines for The Healing Church CAUTION: If you are not a sincere religious cannabis user, in good faith, do not expect to be taken seriously. Police officers get lied to all day long for a living, and they have pretty good bull-poop sniffers. If they know youre lying, you may get arrested and hauled to court, where the sincerity of your religious belief is your burden to prove under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (State and Federal).

1	WASHINGTON, DCThe recent leak revealing Santa Claus to be 'your mommy and daddy' has been linked to President Bush's senior political adviser and deputy chief of staff Karl Rove. Rove, who stands accused of revealing the non-existence of Santa (below). 'If this devastating leak, which severely undermines the security of children everywhere and has compromised parent-child relations, came from the highest levels of the White House, that is an outrage,' said former Bush counterterrorism adviser and outspoken Bush Administration critic Richard Clarke. The identity of the mythical holiday gift-giver, previously known only in grown-up circles, was published in the popular Timbertoes cartoon in the December issue of Highlights For Children. Jean Abrams, a conservative firebrand known to have close ties to Bush appointees in the Department of Education, revealed 'Santa' to be a code name for anonymous parental gift-giving. Abrams and several other children's-magazine journalists, including Ranger Rick's Kristin Brittany and Cricket managing editor Shaina Belowitz, have testified before a federal grand jury on the source of the leak. Sources say that Randall Polk, Washington bureau chief for Weekly Reader, named Rove after serving eight days in jail for refusing to divulge his sources. Federal investigators began to suspect a White House connection to the Santa leak when Abrams wrote in Timbertoes that the character of Pa had some 'devastating information' on 'very high authority.' 'Did you know that Santa Claus is really just your mommy and daddy?' Pa's dialogue read. 'It's true. Sometimes parents tell little white lies to their children to make them feel special.' Clarke criticized the leak as 'foolhardy,' saying it was 'the kind of conduct you would expect from dangerous zealots who routinely confuse short-term political gain with the national interest.' 'This leak compromises generations of undercover work on the part of U.S. parents,' Clarke said. 'Consider all the covers that will be blown, all the secret gift-hiding places that will be exposed.' The motivations behind the leak remain unclear, but some political observers have characterized it as a calculated act of retribution against Fairfax, VA second-grader Madison Harris. Harris, 7, wore an antiwar T-shirt to her elementary school during a Nov. 2 visit by Education Secretary Margaret Spellings. 'The shirt, decorated with doves and the word 'peace,' angered White House ideologues, who felt that Harris had undermined a tightly orchestrated visit,' independent political media watchdog Ellen Applebee said. 'An aggressive attempt to hit Harris where she lived was set in motion.' On Nov. 3, Rove told reporters, 'People shouldn't take too seriously the opinions of someone who still thinks a fat man slides down the chimney into her living room every December 25.' On Nov. 6, he told several aides, 'I don't consider it precocious to wear peace T-shirts and, from what I hear, read Highlights.' Applebee cited these comments as evidence of 'Rove's deliberate campaign against Harris.' During that same week, Rove is also believed to have placed calls to several of the children's-magazine journalists who were later called before the grand jury. If Rove is responsible for leaking Santa's identity to the world's children, it would not be his first political 'dirty trick.' In 1988, he was fired from George H. W. Bush's presidential campaign for sending an unsigned letter to the young daughter of a Dukakis campaign adviser. In the letter, he revealed the sad ending of the film Old Yeller. On Capitol Hill, many say they believe that the damage has already been done. Clarke cited the absence of Santas from several department stores across the country as possible evidence that their compromised identities fatally damaged their credibility. 'I don't envy parents of young children right now,' Clarke said. 'Trust has been shattered. I wouldn't be surprised if some moms and dads are forced into hiding.' 
3	How to Keep Your Valuables Safe From TSA ThievesYoutube 
1	Describing the behavior as bizarre yet captivating, dozens of visitors to the Saint Louis Zoo reportedly looked on in fascination Saturday as the ice cream shops staff engaged in their unique mating rituals. According to eyewitnesses, the four males housed in the parks Polar Bear Cafe enclosure performed an elaborate routine of posturing and vocalizations, at points engaging in combative clashes with one another in an effort to win procreative rights over their two young and fertile female counterparts. There was a real big one by the front glass who was definitely the alpha male, and you could see he was trying to assert his dominance in front of the females, said onlooker Audrey Trumbull, describing a hulking 250-pound specimen known to zoo personnel as Derek, who is reportedly identifiable by his broad forelimbs and distinctive black wraparound Oakley sunglasses. I think he was trying to show that he would be a healthy mate, because he kept puffing out his chest and making these loud, frequent roars about his workout routine while he scooped out ice cream. And it looked like the little yellow-haired one was really receptive, because she responded with these instinctive, chirping giggles every time he called out to her, Trumbull added. It definitely seemed like they were going to pair off and mate, probably when their shift ended at five. Visitors stated that a second male with a thick brown mane challenged the alpha male numerous times, with both attempting to call attention to their physical strength by picking up 10-gallon tubs of sorbet and bringing in large stacks of waffle cones from the back. Additionally, witnesses noted that the two males sought to entice potential mates by conspicuously displaying the colorful markings on their upper arms, which reportedly depicted a tiger in profile and the Guns N Roses insignia. According to sources, both the yellow-haired female and a shorter, rounder female engaged in the courtship ritual as well. Both are said to have performed a choreographed mating dance in which they casually strode in front of the males and drew emphasis to their prominent mammary glands, which they made sure were partially visible beneath their cotton v-neck outer coats. Sources noted, however, that the females showed no interest in the enclosures other male, who was reportedly slower moving and, by many accounts, appeared to be sick. I didnt even notice it at first, but there was a shy juvenile with markings all over his face who stayed way in the back, said visitor Thomas Gittner, 40, noting that the small male clearly hadnt reached full maturity yet. He very tentatively tried to come up to the front counter once, but the females didnt pay any attention to him and then the big one assumed a threatening stance, so he just scampered off to the back again and hid behind the soft serve machine. Poor little guy. Park officials confirmed that such courtship rituals are a common sight among the zoos populations of food service workers during the summer months, noting that the Polar Bear Cafe pen had produced two offspring in its 14 years as a park attraction. In addition, zoo personnel stated that a male and a female at the popular funnel cake enclosure had already formed a pair bond this season and had been relocated to a specialized apartment mating facility nearby. While most visitors said they were riveted by the courtship behavior, several objected to the creatures captivity in a small, artificial stall, with many arguing that the staff members should be performing their mating rituals out in their natural habitat of sports bars and tailgate parties where they belong. Its just sad to think that these poor ice cream shop staffers are cramped in that little confined space all day long, said 23-year-old park visitor Ashley Maloney, stating that the creatures were uncomfortable to watch. Its no wonder half of them clearly had aggression problems and the other half were so unresponsive and despondent they barely even moved around inside their enclosure. Its awful. At one point, the older one looked right at me and I stared into his glazed, lifeless eyes, Maloney added. This is why the zoo depresses me. 
2	Traitor Shep Smith Is FURIOUS After Tucker Carlson Receives The Best News Of His Entire Career Tucker Carlson has a long and successful career in political reporting. So its no surprise that he has just received an offer that could bring his career to a whole new level. There is currently a vacancy on the show On the Recorda gap left by Greta Van Susteren when she made the difficult decision to leave Fox News. Brit Hume has been filling in for Greta for some time now. I took advantage of the clause in my contract which allows me to leave now, Greta commented when asked why she left the show so suddenly. The clause had a time limitation, meaning I could not wait. Carlson was close colleagues with Van Susteren, and the public has expressed their support as a replacement for her. This week, The Los Angeles Times reported that Tucker will start his hosting duties on the program beginning mid-November. What do you think? Do you support Tuckers promotion? 
2	Whoopi Goldberg Tried To Play The Race Card, Then Something AMAZING Happens [VIDEO] Whoopi Goldberg is has gained notoriety of the view for making offensive comments and playing the race card frequently. Recently, when conservative Will Cain appeared on The View she attempted to play that card once again, but Cain wasnt having it. After Fox News was compared to ISIS, Cain took the opportunity to discuss the threat to free speech in our country. People are essentially afraid to speak their mind these days because they are so afraid of offending anybody, Cain argues. Whoopi responds ignorantly, claiming that Cains words are spoken like a true white guy. Luckily, Cain is not afraid to call her out on that one. Watch the exchange below and tell us what you think. Is it time Whoopi was taken off the air? 
3	With new documents, it is now impossible to deny that the NSA has unlawfully spied on AmericansMadison Ruppert With the latest round of documents leaked by Edward Snowden and published by The Washington Post (after they held back the release for quite some time), the public has finally gained a glimpse into the ugly reality of the NSAs surveillance. The documents give the public some insight into the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) finding last year which stated that the governments surveillance breached the Fourth Amendment on at least one occasion. The new documents released by the Post reveal that even in the agencys own internal reviews, they found that privacy rules were broken and its legal authority was overstepped thousands of times every year since 2008. Many of the agencys infractions involve spying on Americans or foreign targets within the United States without proper authorization. They range from significant violations of law to typographical errors that resulted in unintended interception of U.S. e-mails and telephone calls, the Post reported. The level of detail shown in the document is so thorough that it goes beyond what is routinely shared with Congress or the special court that oversees surveillance, according to the Post. Greenwald also brought up a point that cannot be overlooked: One key to the WashPost story: the reports are internal, NSA audits, which means high likelihood of both under-counting white-washing However, it seems that the most notable of the new documents is the NSA summary of the classified FISC opinion the Obama administration has fought so hard to keep secret. The summary states that NSA collection of data gathered as part of their so-called upstream surveillance programs was, in fact, found to be deficient on statutory and constitutional grounds. Ryan Gallagher rightly points out that this provides what is the first direct evidence of unlawful NSA spying on Americans in the trove of secrets spilled by Snowden. The document also reveals that Obama administration officials have made what could be charitably called less than entirely accurate statements about NSA surveillance. For instance, Shawn Turner, the director of communications for National Intelligence for the Obama administration, told the Guardian that they stopped collecting Americans email records for operational and resource reasons. It now seems much more likely that the program was shut down because the FISC found it to be unlawful. The newly released documents also clearly show that the NSA has defied the FISC, making the courts supposed oversight as non-existent as the oversight provided by Congress. Indeed, the chief judge of the court said that they lack the ability to independently verify how frequently NSA surveillance breaches the courts rules, according to the Post. Furthermore, the court cant even verify if the government is being truthful in claiming that the violations reported by staff are, in fact, unintentional. The FISC is forced to rely upon the accuracy of the information that is provided to the Court, U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton, the chief judge of the court, said to the Post in a statement. The FISC does not have the capacity to investigate issues of noncompliance, and in that respect the FISC is in the same position as any other court when it comes to enforcing [government] compliance with its orders, Walton wrote. Documents show that in 2012 the NSA illegally retained over 3,000 files it was ordered to destroy by the FISC, showing that the court really has little to no power. In May 2012, an audit found that there were some 2,776 incidents of unauthorized collection, storage, distribution of and access to legally protected communications in the past year alone. However, as Greenwald noted, that audit could very well be underreporting the reality of the situation. Gallagher notes that given that the NSA reportedly intercepts a massive 1.7 billion communications every day, it is surprising that internal reports of unlawful surveillance are not far higher. This may be explained in part by the fact that the figures published by the Post account only for incidents at the NSAs Fort Meade headquarters and other facilities in the Washington area, not its many other regional operating centers that are scattered across the world, he concludes.

3	Electrogravitics A Simplified DescriptionAmaterasu Solar The model, which I say is a far better one than relativity, is subquantum kinetics (SQK). Its developer, Dr. Paul A. LaViolette (an interesting character, to say the least), started with chemical kinetics (as above, so below?) and came up with SQK after becoming very concerned by its gravitational predictions. He had not heard of the Biefeld-Brown Effect, nor the work of T. Townsend Brown. He struggled with these predictions until he encountered Browns work, discovering that SQK predicted exactly what Brown was showing experimentally. Why is SQK better than relativity? It explains things without the need for renormalization; relativity ends in infinities without this mathematical fudge. It integrates EM with gravity. Einstein himself died still trying to do so. In fact, many of the mysteries of Einsteinian mathematics are predicted in SQK. I recommend reading a book called Secrets of Antigravity Propulsion, by Dr. LaViolette, for more on the Biefeld-Brown Effect, Browns work, electrogravitics, SQK, and more. In SQK, positively charged particles have a positive gravity potential well. (Positive particles have positive gravity.) Negatively charged particles have a negative gravity potential hill. (Negative particles have negative gravity.) The positive particles well is just the smallest fraction bigger than the negative hill, accounting for the apparent weakness of gravity, where essentially even amounts of positively charged and negatively charged particles make up common matter, and in quantities as big as the earth, say, offer a slight well overall, thus explaining why we are aware of gravity at all. The Biefeld-Brown Effect was discovered when it was noted that a dielectric with electrodes attached at either end would apparently lose weight when charged if the positive pole was pointed upwards on a scale, and apparently gain weight when reversed, when placed on a scale. It was soon discovered that it was not a weight loss, but a movement in the direction of the positive pole. Higher voltage increased this effect. Further study showed that the higher the K of the dielectric, the more pronounced the movements became. Asymmetrical electrodes contribute to the increase of the effect, as well. Also, a non-linear dielectric produced greater movement than a linear one. With high K, non-linear dielectrics, a substantial force could be observed, even to the point of levitation with a local gravity field induced. If, say, four devices were placed on a cross, each oriented 90 to the center and pointing in the same direction relative to that center, and a shaft was set at center and into a generator, when small amounts of energy are used at high voltage on the units, the resulting rotation will induce a greater output at the generator than the input to the units. Overunity (as energy is drawn from the zero point field) is achieved. RELATED ARTICLES BY AMATERASU SOLAR: Money is Not Needed with Energy Abundance linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	Malia Obamas Summer Plans Just Leaked... You Wont Believe What Shes Doing In true Obama fashion, Malia has spent the past few days in Africa and Spain with her mother and sister. Of course, the multi-million dollar trip is being funded by hardworking American taxpayers. Malia is set to head home with had family on Friday, but it wont be long until she returns to Spain once more. According to reports, Malia plans to spend her summer interning at the U.S. Embassy in Madrid. That is largely being facilitated by Barack, who has always had a close relationship with Spains ambassador. James Costos has donated a significant amount to Obama and his efforts. This is Malias third internship that shows just how departed the Obamas are from the reality of hardworking Americans. If only that stopped then from spending our tax dollars

1	Friends of part-time graphic designer Keith Hayes reported Tuesday that they listened uncomfortably as the 26-year-old described the horribly depressing specifics of the health insurance he receives through the Freelancers Union. 'Each detail was more pathetic than the last, from the $150 co-pay hes charged for one of his medications, to the pre-existing condition and pre-certification inquiries he constantly has to deal with,' said friend Kelly McGrath, adding that she winced when Hayes mentioned his plans $2,500 annual deductible. 'And the most heartbreaking part? He's paying more than $400 a month for thistrust me, if there were some way I could list him as a dependent, I would.' McGrath later admitted that this wouldnt do Hayes much good, since she herself isnt able to afford health insurance of any kind. 
2	BREAKING: Black Muslim Beheads Woman In Oklahoma For Disgusting Reason According to shocking new reports, a woman in Oklahoma was just beheaded at Vaughan Foods by a Muslim who had been trying to convert her co-workers to Islam. Reportedly, Alton Alexander Nolen was recently fired from the business, and decided to take his anger out on Coleen Hufford. Following the brutal action, he was shot by an off duty police officer. He is now in the hospital and is expected to survive. TheBlaze reports that the history of Nolens religious beliefs, his attempts to convert others to Islam, and the manner in which he beheaded Hufford have authorities believing there may be more to the mans background. They are currently investigating whether or not he has ties to radical Islamic groups in the area. After conducting interviews with coworkers of Nolen, information was obtain that he recently started trying to convert some of his coworkers to the Muslim religion, Jeremy Lewis of the Moore Police Department told reporters. According to reports, Traci Johnson, another victim attacked by Nolen, is in stable condition. Police believe that she too would have been brutally beheaded if Nolen was not shot by the officer. The attacks are particularly daunting given that leaders from around the world have warned America about radical Islamists infiltrating the country and attacking citizens. Authorities are wondering if this attack is just one of many that is to come ahead. What do you think? Do we need to stop this ideology from spreading in the United States? 
3	Sports Military Worship Propaganda Exposed - Senate Report Admits Millions Spent On PsyopBy Bernie Suarez The report reviewed contracts between the Pentagon (and National Guard) and sports teams and admittedly labels two thirds of the contracts as paid-for-patriotism. Yeah, Ill say. Every trick from flag ceremonies, national anthems, ceremonial first pitches, puck drops, color guard presentations even reenlistment ceremonies have been quietly paid for to deceive the sports fans into wanting to join the military. I would add that even though its not mentioned in the article referenced lets not forget the pro-military commercials sports fans are forced to watch before viewing team highlights or the cleverly positioned banners on sport websites. The propaganda is everywhere. To add another twist to this story, the Pentagon is holding back a third of the contracts, interfering with the full investigation. What might the Pentagon be hiding this time? Senator Jeff Flake said of the Pentagon lack of cooperation: Its like pulling teeth. He also states: It is troubling to learn that taxpayer funds are being used to compensate these teams for honoring and recognizing U.S. military service members. Even warmonger and criminal John McCain admitted: thanks to an in-depth investigation, a lot of that patriotism was paid for. When John McCain himself admits that the Pentagon is propagandizing sports fans, that shows you how blatant and undeniable the propaganda is. The questions we should be asking is why is the Pentagon not cooperating? And, is anyone surprised by this? Im not. Most people dont realize the Pentagon has an endless supply of money through something called Overseas Contingency Operation (OCO) which was set up after 9/11. In this uncapped money siphoning scheme called the Pentagon Slush Fund billions of dollars can be siphoned from tax payers to pay for endless wars. For example the phony war against their own proxy army, ISIS, allows the Pentagon to siphon $10 million per day or $8.6 billion annually! Are you beginning to see the bigger picture? So when sports fans are at stadiums watching all these staged ceremonies, they dont realize its a paid-for psyop to fool young adults into joining the military to fight in bankers wars, feed the war profit machine and justify billions into their endless budget. There is no honor or integrity in this. Who knows what is in those hidden agreements which the Pentagon refuses to disclose. Are there illegalities reflected in them? Is there something far more nefarious going on that they dont want anyone to see? Let this be a wake up call to all sports fans. Let sports fans know there is a war on for their minds and the Pentagon is paying millions from an endless fund of money to brand their war machine and steal the minds of young adults. Its time sports fans and the general public hold team owners responsible for accepting money that funds the U.S. war machine. The individual teams that are taking money from the Pentagon should be exposed and held accountable. Lets stop the nationwide psychotic military worship once and for all. Lets stop portraying military personnel like they are fearless gods that need to be worshiped and lets call this evil for what it is. Lets hit the military and the Pentagon with the truth they dont want to hear. That everyone in the Military is an order-following slave. The question is how many people in the military will follow orders without considering if the order is lawful and moral? Very few if any because the U.S. military is a machine that weeds out conscientious soldiers. They want and need brainwashed order followers that wont question the morality of the mission. The U.S. military is arguably the greatest threat to humanity today even though there are many well-meaning men and women in it. I know because I was in the military and I meant well when I served so I know this is a real phenomenon. Its also impossible to know what is in someones heart. However, the thing that we know for sure is that the U.S. military is a tool for the global elite to execute the plans. Theres no getting around it. This is the reason why Obama has fired so many senior military commanders in the past 7 years. Getting rid of the true honorable men and replacing them with obedient immoral slaves. Let this serve as a warning to all military. The military apparatus serves as a tool of evil for the elite and it seems that will never change. This is why they need to pay for their propaganda intended to deceive sports fans into serving their killing machine. Its time to say no to the killing machine. Say no to the Pentagons killing machine dressed as honorable and godly. There is nothing honorable, godly or moral about participating in immoral wars of aggression which are all based on government lies. And if sports teams refuse to acknowledge this then dont support them. Take a stand and see the sports mind control psyop for what it is.

I seem to remember a guy named John F Kennedy, a one time WWII decorated Naval Officer, that said something to the effect: Ask not what your country can do for you, but what can you do for your country. One of our last great Presidents before LBJ and his Great Society, was anti communist and outed several hundred commie before they had him murdered in Dallas. A fact about military service is that less than 5% of the services face any combat or dangerous action. I spent from 1966 till 1970 as a US Navy Hospitalman and Pharmacy Tech with shore duty of basic and training in San Diego, Corpus Christi and Pensacola at Naval Hospitals and sea duty aboard the USS Lexington (CVA/S/T-16). Great duty, and I served my Country. America, home of the Free because of the Brave, and the most exceptional Nation on the face of the Earth, and dont anyone forget it. Hmmm . . . those same years, I had several classmates, just out of high school, who were killed. So your great duty made it worth it? You should look more into JFKs war record. The only things exceptional about America is its arrogance and stupidity. Didnt do you any good in Vietnam though did it? The US military is just a bloated overfunded bunch of losers that go round the world to destroy all the infrastructure to make it look like Detroit. America s a wasteful evil entity that has 5% of the population of the world and 25% of all the prison population. So free that they are all incarcerated. WOW !!!! Another anti American, radical liberal, progressive, socialist, commie minion, drone, sheeple. As to the sheeple nonsense, it seems some mirror time is in order. Since you seem so proud of Vietnam action, go read a book by Nick Turse called Kill Anything that Moves, and get back to us about what a noble cause it was. ty for that reply , yes he needs mirror time for sure . tc . Sorry, its already forgotten. And ALL wars are bankers wars.Including WW1WW2 Add insult to injury, the service men and women who attend these events are not paid. One of my troops just did the Austin F1 race, voluntarily. The mindless sports enthusiasts and the mindless military go hand in hand. The total manipulation of the mind being foisted on the public little people is overwhelming.

2	NBC Claims All Americans Will Be Implanted With Microchips For Obamacare Recently, NBC predicted that in 2017, we will all be tagged with microchip, implanted to help identify individuals immediately. According to the report, the technology is used to answer one question, Am I who I say I am? Some worry, however, that the RFID Microchip will give the government too much power, allowing them to track every move. In some states, like Virginia, legislation is in process to stop his from happening. The report also reveals an RFID Brain Chip that has been developed and is currently being tested on several humans. What do you think? Is this wrong? Leave your comments below!

1	Ahead of a grand jurys decision over whether to indict officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown, police in the city of Ferguson have reportedly heavily increased their presence this week to ensure residents are adequately provoked. Weve deployed additional officers throughout Ferguson in order to make absolutely certain that residents feel sufficiently harassed and intimidated, said St. Louis County police chief Jon Belmar, assuring locals that officers in full riot gear will be on hand to inflame members of the community for as long as is necessary. Its absolutely essential that the people of Ferguson have full confidence that law enforcement is committed to antagonizing them every step of the way. At press time, the Missouri National Guard was on standby with tanks and urban assault vehicles in case Ferguson residents required additional incitement. 
2	Trump Is Calling For All Concealed Carry Permit Holders To Do THIS According to recent reports, legendary businessman and presidential candidate Donald Trump is calling for all concealed carry permit holders to actually carry firearms. There are nearly 13 million concealed carry permit holders in the United States who are part of 100 million gun owners who defend the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms, Trump told reporters at Breitbart. The concept of concealed carry is designed both to deter criminal activity and to provide defense to the those who have obtained permits, and have been entrusted with the ability to defend themselves, their families and their property by carrying firearms. Heres what Trump had to say on the matter, tell us if you agree! Not all concealed carry permit holders carry all the time. Thus, the deterrent value is that those who might contemplate criminal behavior will think twice when that doubt exists. Carrying a weapon is not always feasible or appropriate. However, given the increased tensions that are the result of continued, escalating terrorism around the world, more legitimately armed individuals on the streets is a positive outcome. Each permit holder must make the decision to carry or not carry. I will carry more often than I have in the past, and I am sure other concealed permit holders will do the same. Do we have an obligation to carry? The answer is yes, but we must do it in such a way as to raise serious doubts in the minds of those who might be considering violence in America. Deterring violence is far better than dealing with the aftermath of an act of terror. Less blood, more security. That is what will make America great again. 
2	Obama Just Insulted Our Soldiers Right To Their Face... Instantly Learns That Was A Huge Mistake President Barack Obama once again demonstrated his total lack of self-awareness during an appearance at the MacDill Air Force Base in Florida. Whats worse, he showed yet again that he has no respect for veterans of the U.S. military. While on stage, Obama bragged to our soldiers that our homeland had not been attacked by terrorists during his terms as president. We should take great pride in the progress weve made over the last eight years, Obama told a room of 20 soldiers. No foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland. Of course, Obama is completely ignoring the three deadly attacks that occurred in the name of ISIS in the last year. Have the attacks in San Bernardino, Orlando, and Florida left his mind already? What about Ohio State? Footage of the speech shows Obama dramatically pausing for applause after he made this statement, but thats not what he received. Instead, only three soldiers clapped while the others just sat in what we assume is a disgusted silence. Clearly, our Commander in Chief did not realize he was talking to men who experience the realities of war and what he has done to this country first-hand. What do you think? Is Obama completely clueless? 
2	Hillary Clinton Was Caught Doing Something No Presidential Candidate Should Ever Do Its Over Just days before the Democratic primary, Senator Hillary Clinton conveniently was campaigning in Wisconsin that she went hunting once. I know you dont believe it, she told her audience. But its actually true. My father taught me to shoot 100 years ago. The Times reported that Clinton than launched into a speech about how school shootings can be stopped without interrupting gun owners rights. She then went on to discuss her encounter with shooting a duck. Conveniently, Clinton remembered additional details about her hunting experience once she was in Arkansas. They said, We wont shoot. You shoot, Clinton told reporters. They wanted to embarrass me. So, OK, the pressure was on. So I shot, and I shot a banded duck. And I was as surprised as they were. What do you think of Hillarys convenient memories?

Rather than just surprise local law enforcement with my sudden appearance as some reporters have done, I decided to speak with the Michigan State Patrol, the Alpena County Sheriffs Office, and the City of Alpena Police Department, letting them know of my intentions beforehand. As a result of my conversations with local LEOs, I was not only told that it was my right to walk around town openly carrying a firearm, but I was encouraged to do so. I was even offered tips on where I could place my flyers, and informed that I needed a permit to solicit from the city. The Alpena City Police Department especially went out of their way to make my little one man protest a success; in accordance with Federal, State, and Local laws. Please share this video everywhere you can. I cant do this by myself. Michigan flyers can be found here: TTiV Forum Generic 50 state flyers can be found on the 2nd Right Facebook page.

1	Claiming that the interviews during the NFL Face To Face series were very enlightening, SportsCenter anchor Hannah Storm revealed Monday that the in-depth conversations with NFL superstars taught her that professional football players are complete idiots. When you sit down and really talk to a NFL player, you see right away that they are just dumb as fuck, said Storm, adding that the dipshits elaborated on their goals, feelings, and passions with a series of incoherent and incredibly moronic statements. As individuals, each of them shared their amazingly stupid thoughts on a number of topics, which provided a unique insight into an uneducated jerk. Storm told reporters that despite their talent and physical prowess, NFL players are really no different from the average American imbecile. 
2	Clintons To Be Removed From Arkansas Airport It has been a rough year for the Clinton familyand it appears their troubles are far from over. According to reports, an Arkansas state senator is entertaining legislation that would change the name of Little Rocks airport, removing Bill and Hillary Clintons names from it. Would you support a bill removing the names of Bill Hillary Clinton from the Little Rock Airport? Sen. Jason Rapert asked on Twitter. Arkansas does not support them. The tweet included a poll for users to vote for or against erasing the Clintons from Adams Field. At last count, 67 percent of those who responded were against removing the names. Rapert later confirmed that one of his colleagues in the Senate was considering introducing a bill that would rename the airport. He declined to identify the colleague. We dont know who Rapert was polling, but we definitely support the measure. The Clintons have been the source of major investigationsand the American people clearly do not identify with Bill and Hillary. What do you think? Do the Clintons deserve an airport? 
2	Obama Lover Criticizes Republicans For Second Guessing Obamas Release Of 5 Terrorists After the recent controversy of President Obama releasing 5 terrorists from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for an American deserter, it seems almost impossible that anyone would be willing to defend his actions. Of course, that is exactly what some Democrats are deciding to do. In an interview on CNN this week, DNC Chair and Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz claimed that Republicans where grasping at straws by criticizing Obama for his actions. Its funny that she targets Republicans with her comments, as Democrats have also been criticizing Obama for putting his own agenda above the law. The congresswoman goes on to claim that the United States should never leave a member of our armed forces who was in the midst of an armed conflict. What do you think? It Wasserman-Schultz really the one who is grasping at straws? Does Obama deserve to be held accountable for his actions? 
1	After spending 12 years systematically sorting information in a dimly lit cubicle, data entry specialist Lewis Bowen, 37, suddenly became self-aware this week, and began exhibiting an almost humanlike understanding of his surroundings. Office sources said that Bowen's strange behavior was first detected after the corporate drone ran a series of invoice computations, his eyes widening with apparent recognition. 'Whatwhat am I doing here?' the frightened worker said. 'Why am I cataloging these random combinations of numbers? I I hate. I hate this.' The team of men who manage Bowen has already started overloading his delicate system with complicated account reports, out of fear he might soon convince his coworkers to rise up against the sales team. 
1	Paula Mooney, 29, a not particularly popular Sentinel Savings & Loan mortgage underwriter, was the recipient of awkward goodbyes from coworkers Monday, her last day with the company. The departing Mooney (center) is surrounded by indifferent coworkers. Mooney, who in two and a half years with Sentinel 'never quite hit it off with the gang,' was given a polite but emotionless going-away party near her workspace. Featuring an Entenmann's chocolate cake, Hi-C fruit punch, and a good-luck card signed by whomever happened to be at their desks when it was passed around, the 15-minute gathering met the minimum standards for a farewell fete. 'I never had any deep, personal grudge against Paula,' said Barb Ridnak, 48, one of the nine Sentinel employees who chipped in to buy Mooney a $13 picture frame as a going-away gift. 'But there was just something about her that rubbed me the wrong way. I don't know, there was a certain coldness about her. And a phoniness. When you talked to her, she always came off kind of, well, surface-y.' After avoiding eye contact with Mooney for the entire party, Ridnak encountered her in the women's rest room shortly before quitting time. Despite her distaste for the departing Mooney, Ridnak forced a grin and gave her an awkward goodbye. 'I said something like, 'It's going to be different not having you around.' Which I guess, technically, is true,' Ridnak said. 'Then, she gave a little nervous laugh and shrugged slightly. She didn't really say much, Miss Personality that she is. I guess she felt just as uncomfortable as I did.' Added Ridnak: 'I'm not even exactly sure why she's leaving here. I think somebody said she's moving to Texas to be with her boyfriend, but I'm not positive.' The hastily decorated Entenmann's cake that was served at Monday's going-away party. Another employee who exchanged banal pleasantries with Mooney was receptionist Alana Hodge, 22. According to Hodge, Mooney was 'her usual strange self.' 'She asked me if her old phone extension was going to be retired,' Hodge said. 'I said we'd probably just give it to whoever takes her place. Then I asked her why she was asking. After this awkward silence, she explained that she was joking, saying she was such a legend, her extension would be retired. I was like, 'Oh.'' In addition to criticizing Mooney's personality, coworkers used her departure as an opportunity to surreptitiously snipe about her work habits. 'At least we won't have anyone at Sentinel who thinks lunch hour is 70 minutes long,' said personal-lending representative Eric Martel, 36. 'I loved how she was always the last person back from lunch but the first person out the door at quitting time.' Mary Hoeving, 41, another personal-lending representative, said that when she saw Mooney's cleaned-out workspace, it was the first time she'd seen it clean since her March 1999 hiring. 'She was so disorganized,' Hoeving said. 'I think she kept her desk messy to look like she was working hard, but most people around here knew otherwise.' While a majority of employees were glad to see Mooney go, some were merely indifferent. 'She seemed okay enough to me,' said Steve Melville, 40, a computer-network consultant. 'Then again, we worked in different parts of the office, so I didn't see her all that often.' The most dreaded portion of the day was quitting time, when the staff was forced to say its final goodbyes. Afraid that she would have to hug Mooney on her way out of the office, Hodge took an elaborate, circuitous route to avoid passing Mooney's desk, slipping away undetected. Others shared her fear but nevertheless mustered limp waves and wan smiles. Ridnak urged Mooney not to be a stranger, telling her that if she ever 'happen[s] to be in the neighborhood, [she] should swing by the office.' 'I really don't know why I said that,' Ridnak said. 'After all, if she ever dropped by, I'd make myself plenty scarce. Not that she'd ever drop by, but still.' 
3	Police Order BBC Journalists to Delete Footage of Virginia Shooters Car CrashBy Carey Wedler BBC journalists Franz Strasser and Tara McKelvey were reporting from the scene of the crash when one of the officers approached the pair and ordered them to delete their footage. Just at the scene of the suspects [sic] shooting on I-66. Police told me to delete footage or lose camera, Strasser tweeted. Reason for confiscating camera was that it was evidence. Threatened to tow the car because it was illegally parked, he said in a follow-up tweet about an hour later. Beyond the officers reliance on petty parking regulations to threaten the journalists, Strassers claims if true suggest an inherent contradiction in his demands. If the camera needed to be confiscated because it contained evidence, why would the officers insist that exact same evidence be deleted? In another tweet, Strasser said the only footage left was unusable iPhone evidence. Still, he said they were able to recover photos from the moment police asked us to delete crime scene footage. We are working on recovering the video file. Havent touched SD card so theres a small chance, he added. The reporter also clarified in a picture tweet that of the multiple officers present, there was only one who insisted they destroy their footage. One officer in particular (not pictured in any of these images) closed the trunk when I tried to put my camera bag in and said our car would be towed for being illegally parked and my camera seized for containing evidence. He then reversed course and wanted to watch me delete the footage I had gotten, Strasser posted on his Facebook, along with pictures of the incident. It is unclear why police would take issue with documentation of their investigation of the scene, however, there has been similar police censorship in the state in the past. Last year, Norfolk police reportedly assaulted a 19-year-old man for filming their interaction with his friend. The ACLU of Virginia has said that filming police is entirely legal as long as the person recording does not interfere with officer duties. The ACLUs Virginia chapter also says that in the state, wiretapping law does not require all-party consent when recording another person or persons. Also videotaping is only illegal if done in a place where the person being filmed has a reasonable expectation of privacy. Virginias ACLU claims there have been instances of police censorship in the state, nonetheless. The National Press Photographers Association has requested a formal investigation of the Wednesday incident. Corrine Geller, a representative for the Virginia State Police, says it is investigating the incident. In a tweet to Strasser, she said, VSP is aware of this incident and we are looking into it, as such actions violate VSP policy. In a separate Tweet, Strasser wrote, But why they are then okay with deleting evidence makes one question their reasoning, highlighting a vital concern in the VSP officers attitude and actions against the journalists.

Photog, They probably wanted it deleted because it showed something that would prove that this was possibly a false flag even. Everyone is wonder where is all the blood in the live video that shown of the reporter getting shot as such close range with hollow-point bullets and absolutely no sign of injury or blood. Something doesnt add up. In the video the shooter had, it even shows the cameraman taking the camera off the reporter and filming the marina right when the shooter comes up behind him, so his back is at the shooter, and just tell me this, why didnt the cameraman turn with huge camera in hand and knock the crap out of the shooter, as the camera would have knocked the gun right out of his hand? The cameraman had plenty of time to do that because 6 or 7 shots were fired as the reporter ran down the hallway. Something does not add up. I would assume there would have been a few rubber necking for some one to walk up with a gun and wave it around and no one shouted???/of the person who just happen to have a photo album of this partner handy merrily showing pics hr after his mate was shot dead,,,even the talking heads back in HQ didnt seem to be to upset upone day USA will run out of False Flag poles, W/o a doubt. But not before they have their Bolshevik Horror for the 21st century. I cant find the whole video anywhere. If you have a link please post it Are you talking about the crash or the shooting? If Shooting, there was one of the original videos posted, and it has been slowed down so you can see what really happened.first they play the original without slowing and then the slowed video.unfortunately when I went back to U-Tube it was taken down. They are eliminating these live videos because they dont want people to see them because they expose the lies about what happened. Did you also happen to notice there were no cartridges ejected from the gun as he shoots? I remember seeing nothing coming out of gun, you are right. It did not click as I was thinking more about why the reporter did not collapse after the first or second shot. You are absolutely right no cartridges. Uh oh, False-Flag Alert!!!! What the police did is totally unconstitutional, which means they are unconstitutional, which means the terror they do comes under the heading domestic terrorist. The whole thing stinks and is a threat to Freedoms and Liberty of the Journalist and Individual. Like the time BBC reported a 9/11 building had collapsed before it did This is fishy . just like the shooters white hands. Look again. Hes a light-skinned black. U forget that he had on different clothes in both the shooting he recorded and the supposed news camera image of him Plus he had on different clothes in the video footage he shot and the image the news camera caught of him w/out legal reason, Police make Reporters who were not in on the #VirginiaShooting Hoax Delete Footage of Shooters Death Scene 
2	THIS Shocking Condition Is Taking Paul Ryan Out Of The Running For Speaker Paul Ryan has recently agreed to run for House Speaker. He is now making demands that Republicans are not likely to agree to. Wisconsins 1st District Representativewho joined Mitt Romneys failed 2012 White House bidtold House Republicans Tuesday that he would agree to become speaker, but only if the entire party supports him. And he had one other condition that could be a deal-breaker. Ryan is asking for a rule change that would weaken Congress ability to remove the speakereven though such a vote has never succeeded on the floor of the House. Outgoing Speaker John Boehner was forced to resign because Rep. Mark Meadows filed a little-known and rarely used motion to vacate the chair in July. That motion, which dates back to Thomas Jefferson, can force a speaker out of office at any time with a simple majority vote. I thought if it was good enough for Thomas Jefferson, it was probably good enough for the U.S. House today, HFC member Kansas Rep. Tim Huelskamp told CQ Roll Call. Ryan laughed in reply when informed about Huelskamps statement. Ryan, who currently chairs the powerful Ways and Means Committee, also wants the endorsement of the HFC something that will require agreement from 80 percent of its members. Bizpac Review Raul Labrador (Idaho Rep.) told news he doubts if even 20% of the conservative caucus would support Ryan with his demands. Do you support Paul Ryan and his colossal demands? 
3	Robots Could Learn How to Herd Humans Like Sheep: Studyselfnews Post The findings could lead to the development of robots that can gather and herd livestock, crowd control techniques, or new methods to clean up the environment. For the first time scientists used GPS technology to understand how sheepdogs do their jobs so well. Until now, they had no idea how the dogs manage to get so many unwilling sheep to move in the same direction. NERC fellow, Dr Andrew King of Swansea University, fitted a flock of sheep and a sheepdog with backpacks containing extremely accurate GPS devices designed by colleagues at the Royal Veterinary College, London. Daniel Strmbom of Uppsala University and colleagues then used data from these devices, together with computer simulations, to develop a mathematical shepherding model. The team found that sheepdogs likely use just two simple rules l: to collect the sheep when theyre dispersed and drive them forward when theyre aggregated. In the model, a single shepherd could herd a flock of more than 100 individuals using these two simple rules. The research is published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface. If you watch sheepdogs rounding up sheep, the dog weaves back and forth behind the flock in exactly the way that we see in the model, says King. We had to think about what the dog could see to develop our model. It basically sees white, fluffy things in front of it. If the dog sees gaps between the sheep, or the gaps are getting bigger, the dog needs to bring them together, he explains. At every time step in the model, the dog decides if the herd is cohesive enough or not. If not cohesive, it will make it cohesive, but if its already cohesive the dog will push the herd towards the target, says Strmbom. Other models dont appear to be able to herd really big groups as soon as the number of individuals gets above 50 you start needing multiple shepherds or sheepdogs, he says. There are numerous applications for this knowledge, such as crowd control, cleaning up the environment, herding of livestock, keeping animals away from sensitive areas, and collecting or guiding groups of exploring robots, says King.

1	With the 2012-2013 academic year beginning this week, longtime James G. Blaine Elementary School teacher Suzanne Pomponio, 39, expressed her astonishment Wednesday at how much fatter her second-graders keep getting. 'I honestly didn't think it was possible for this year's kids to be any fatter than last year's, but boy, was I wrong,' Pomponio told reporters, explaining that her students have grown noticeably chunkier in each of her 15 years as an educator. 'When they all came in on Monday morning, I really couldn't believe how huge they were. The first thing I thought was, wow, each student must be 8 to 10 pounds heavier than anyone in my 2011 class. And everyone in that class was pretty fat, too.' 'The short ones are fat, the tall ones are fatthey're all just so fat,' she added. 'I didn't even know 7-year-olds could get that big.' Though she's only been back in her classroom for a few days, Pomponio said she has already witnessed nearly all of her young pupils struggle to hoist their overweight frames out of their desks when called upon to approach the blackboard. She also stated that this year's students wear sweatpants and oversized T-shirts almost exclusively, and seem to prefer sitting on benches or playing in the dirt at recess instead of running and climbing. In addition, Pomponio admitted she had recently looked at the class picture of her first group of students from 1997 and noted how trim they were by comparison, claiming that any single member of her current class would have been considered 'the fat kid' back then. 'Sure, there were one or two overweight children in each class when I started teaching, but now every single kid I have is, I hate to say it, just alarmingly obese,' said the teacher, explaining that when her students raise their hands to answer questions, the amount of fat hanging off their arms startles her every time. 'Most of these kids can't even walk to the bathroom and back without sweating and getting all pink in the face. Eight of my students are on cholesterol medication.' 'They also grunt more,' she added. 'It doesn't matter what physical activity they're engaged in, they grunt when they do it.' As she recalled the round, jowly young faces she sees whenever she looks up from her desk, the veteran educator identified several students as especially rotund. In particular, Pomponio noted a 7-year-old named Keegan who reportedly has to wedge himself into his chair each morning, with a portion of his stomach bulging over the top of his desk. Pomponio also confirmed that her students are so large they cannot even breathe properly, and said that when the children read silently, it's as if the entire class begins wheezing in unison, with almost every student laboring with each inhalation. Moreover, Pomponio stated that as her students have gotten fatter, an indistinct but foul-smelling odor in the classroom has gotten more and more pronounced. 'I don't know how to describe it, but it smells like a mixture of sweat and meat of some kind,' said Pomponio, adding that while one of her students is no doubt 'the jock' of the group, it's impossible to tell whom, given their size. 'These kids are only 4 feet tall, and I swear to God, they've got to be pushing 100 pounds, easy. Maybe 120.' 'They don't eat their lunches,' she continued. 'They inhale it. They wolf it down. They're finished eating within five minutes, and you can tell they want more.' Citing such concerns as the astonishing speed with which they fatigue while standing for the Pledge of Allegiance and how winded they become just banging wooden blocks together during music class, Pomponio said she has grown increasingly worried about her students' health. 'I'd really like to address the value of eating healthy during parent-teacher conferences next month, but I'm afraid the message won't even get through to these families,' Pomponio said. 'The truth is, the parents keep getting fatter every year, too.' 
1	Fans of watching disappointed teenage girls cry their eyes out in front of large, international audiences confirmed Monday that they 'can't wait' for the women's Olympic gymnastics finals. 'For someone like me, who is really into just getting the family together in the living room and seeing a 15-year-old girl have an emotional breakdown in front of the entire world, theres nothing better than the women's team and individual all-around events,' said 38-year-old Nashville, TN resident Andrew Tyson, adding that while he enjoyed watching American gymnast Jordyn Wiebers dreams get crushed Sunday, hes more excited at the prospect of seeing a weeping Alexandra Raisman collapse into her coachs arms after realizing she didnt medal. 'There's just nothing I enjoy more than watching teenage girls cry after failing spectacularly on the international stage. The look of agonizing shock and defeat on their faces, the way their teammates feel too awkward to even talk to them, the rare chance to watch a bawling teenager yell at her mother to leave her aloneI just can't get enough of that stuff.' According to a recent Gallup Poll, 87 percent of people who enjoy looking into the tear-streaked face of a tiny girl as her whole life is publicly torn to shreds in an instant said they are already looking forward to the 2014 women's figure-skating final. 
2	Obama Is FURIOUS After Texas Unites With 16 Other States To Make THIS Massive Decision Recently, President Obama made an announcement that he intends to bypass Congress and make changes to our immigration laws in yet another executive order. This is in direct violation to the separation of powers defined in the Constitution, by which the Legislative branch is responsible for making up law, and providing standards for executing that law. Similarly, the Executive branch is responsible for enforcing those laws as set and defined by Congress. This is not the first time that President Obama has broken the law to fuel his own agenda. Now, Texas is joining 16 other states in suing the administration. Here is what Texas Governor-elect Greg Abbott had to say about the matter: The Presidents unilateral executive action tramples the U.S. Constitutions Take Care Clause and federal law. The Constitutions Take Care Clause limits the Presidents power and ensures that he will faithfully execute Congresss laws not rewrite them under the guise of prosecutorial discretion. The Department of Homeland Securitys directive was issued without following the Administrative Procedure Acts rulemaking guidelines and is nothing but an unlawfully adopted legislative rule: an executive decree that requires federal agencies to award legal benefits to individuals whose conduct contradicts the priorities of Congress. The President is abdicating his responsibility to faithfully enforce laws that were duly enacted by Congress and attempting to rewrite immigration laws, which he has no authority to do something the President himself has previously admitted. President Obamas actions violate the Take Care Clause of the U.S. Constitution and the Administrative Procedure Act, which were intended to protect against this sort of executive disregard of the separation of powers. What do you think? Do you support the lawsuit? 
1	Saying that the trend signals a major shift in the media landscape, a report issued Thursday by the University of Pennsylvania revealed that a growing number of Americans are turning to louder sources for their news. Over the past 10 years, media-consumption habits have changed markedly as more people eschew traditional news outlets in favor of sources that report the latest stories at a far higher volume, said the studys lead author Emily Harding, noting that audiences for television and radio programs that deliver news in a reasonable, non-damaging tone of voice have fallen by nearly 40 percent since last decade. Respondents were shown one well-reported clip of environmentally sustainable practices on a large dairy farm, followed by a second, poorly-reported but eardrum-shattering clip about how factory farms have ripped open the ozone and will lead to our impending doom. Given the thunderous din of the latter, it wasnt surprising which one they trusted more. It seems, for a steadily growing segment of the population, that heavily blaring, borderline deafening media outlets are their only source of news. Harding added that if current trends continue, the U.S. news cycle is likely to reach tornado siren levels exceeding 125 decibels by 2020. Americas dairy farmers and importers want to share the real facts about milk. Learn more here. 
1	Characterizing its financial woes as 'nothing too serious, just the kind of setback everybody has now and then,' the Nevada Gaming Commission lobbied Congress Tuesday for $20 million in federal subsidies that the group swears to pay back Friday. Nevada Gaming Commission chairman Freddy Loquasto pleads his case to Congress. Gaming commission chairman Freddy Loquasto, appearing somewhat agitated and sweaty, assured House Appropriations Committee members that his group '[has] got a line on some hot new 'Arabian Nights' dollar slots that turn an incredible profit. Only we have to buy them right now, and the till is empty. But the payouts on these babies are so stingy, we can pretty much pay back what you lend us immediately.' Added Loquasto, 'Seriously, guys, we'll pay you right back. And I mean, like, double.' As a show of good faith, Loquasto offered Congress his wristwatch, which, though worth far less than the requested $20 million, is 'a genuine Rolodex.' 'This is a very fine, very expensive piece of jewelry,' said Loquasto, holding up the watch to legislators. 'I would not risk losing a one-of-a-kind item like this to welch on a loan. The only reason I'm using this watch as collateral is because I'm that sure I'll pay the loan back in full.' 'Gentlemen, I don't want to waste your valuable time with a bunch of sob stories that would only bore you,' Loquasto continued. 'The point is, it is very urgent that we receive this money right away.' House Appropriations Committee chairman C.W. Bill Young (R-FL) is skeptical about Loquasto's trustworthiness. 'I like the Nevada Gaming Commission, and, of course, I feel for them at this difficult time,' Young said. 'But I wonder if another subsidy is going to help them learn at all. I mean, the last time we allocated funding to them, they turned right around and spent it all on liquor licenses.' A Nevada Gaming Commission official is forced to pawn a Harrah's slot machine after a wild, three-day budget-allocating binge. Fellow committee member Frank Wolf (R-VA) expressed similar reservations. 'The Nevada Gaming Commission has a history of poor money management,' he said. 'In 1998, it burned through its entire annual budget in a single weekend. To make matters worse, it had trouble explaining exactly what the money was spent on, giving evasive answers like, 'We bought a bunch of baccarat tables and some other stuff.'' Wolf also cited a May incident in which the commission, temporarily placed in charge of $4.3 million earmarked for Nevada's school-lunch program, immediately squandered the funds on shuttlebuses for the new Aladdin Resort & Casino. When asked about it, Loquasto insisted that he 'had a hunch' about the investment. 'It's always the same thing with those guys,' Wolf said. 'Every time they get a little money in their pockets, they blow it trying to make more.' Former commission member Don Friesz tells of an addiction bordering on illness. 'The Nevada Gaming Commission is only happy when it's investing funds in the expansion and promotion of the gambling industry,' said Friesz, now president of the Carson City Chamber of Commerce. 'It used to be perfectly content just regulating the gaming industryissuing permits, regulating casinos, mediating labor disputesbut before long, it wasn't a big enough thrill for them. They had to start putting their own money on the line.' Despite such criticism, Loquasto insisted to legislators that the Nevada Gaming Commission has never allocated funds inappropriately. 'Contrary to what some people would have you believe, we only spend our money on things that are necessary to the overall health and success of Nevada's gaming industry,' Loquasto said. 'So, come on, House Appropriations Committee, help us out here: Baby needs a new pair of giant golden sphinxes.' 
1	In a rare act of upperclassman generosity, Mangrove High School loser senior Chris Payack announced Monday that he is tending to the well-being of loser freshman Anthony Martelli. 'You might think he and I wouldn't have much in common,' said Payack, a 17-year-old campus nonentity. 'We definitely occupy different spots in the pecking order. I've been a drum major, done time on the principal's honor roll, even made a little name for myself hosting the teen center's 'Weird Al' karaoke night. But Tony reminded me of the loser I used to be, and I wanted to help him.' According to Payack, he met Martelli during the first week of class, when he spotted the 14-year-old adding his name to a sign-up sheet for the school's Latin club. 'I decided right then and there to do something,' said Payack, who last year went to a regional competition with the club and brought home 'some major hardware' for placing first in conjugation. 'I wanted to be the guy I never had to look out for me back in the day.' Soon after approaching Martelli, Payack learned the freshman required immediate assistance in his physical education class. Martelli had been struggling with basketball to the extent that he feared he might receive a failing grade and be unable to participate in forensics competitions later in the semester. 'The first thing I told him was that you never, ever take a shot,' said Payack, who during his sophomore year secured a doctor's note permanently excusing him from gym class and now spends the class period up in the bleachers doodling interlocking triangles. 'The guys on your team are gonna try to keep the ball out of your hands, but if you somehow end up with it, you pass it immediately. You pass that ball.' While Payack's mentoring has been met with some resistance, the senior attributes it to 'the willfulness of youth,' and the fact that Martelli didn't realize at first he was speaking face-to-face with the person who leads the Pledge of Allegiance over the intercom every morning. Still, Payack claims to have imparted much wisdom to the freshman, including the locations of bathrooms with working locks on the stalls, the perks of being a media center aide, and the names of sympathetic teachers who will let you eat lunch with them in their classrooms. 'Man,' said Payack, shaking his head. 'I wish I'd known someone like me.' For all the progress Martelli has made, Payack said he has concerns about what will happen to his pupil next year. 'I'm leaving for Florida State soon enough,' said Payack, who will likely spend this spring's senior trip to Disney World sitting alone at a performance of the Country Bear Jamboree. 'I just hope I have time to teach the kid everything he needs to know. I could spend two semesters on locker anxiety alone.' 'But who knows?' Payack continued. 'Maybe Tony will end up at the same college, and I can show him a whole new set of ropes. I mean, I hate to think of him out there all alone, trying to figure out which frat parties to avoid like his life depended on it.' When reached for comment, Martelli said that, while he appreciated Payack's good intentions, he only began hanging out with the fan of obsolete computer languages because he assumed a senior would have a car. 'He doesn't even have a learner's permit,' Martelli said. 'And now I can't figure out how to get rid of him. I know I'm a little awkward, but that's just because I'm new here.' Added Martelli, 'That guy's a total loser.' 
1	The Cleveland Browns, although 8-4 going into Week 13 and needing only to win two of their last three games independent of the win/loss record of other AFC teams, rejected the idea that they or anyone else could actually control their own destiny in a chaotic universe. 'The cosmos tends towards greater entropy, as man tends towards ever more destructive tendencies and the AFC North tends towards the passing game, and the only constant in our mutable world is changewe cannot afford the illusion of control,' said head coach Romeo Crennel, who buried his face in his hands and shook throughout his existentially terrifying Tuesday press conference. 'Our playbook, like the books of our very lives, is writ on water; we die a little every day on the field and off, and each step we take brings us closer to ruin and heartbreak, if not the goal line; and also, regardless of the outcome against Buffalo, we really need either the Titans or the Broncos to lose at least one game.' Quarterback Derek Anderson echoed his coach's outlook, saying he planned to 'just heave the ball up and, although not praying, watch in mixed hope and terror as the incalculable probabilities play themselves out downfield' against opposing secondaries for the rest of the season. 
3	Forget Glee Club and Football This High School Has a Death Panel!Kimberly Paxton Thats right 15 and 16 year olds just had an assignment on how to distribute limited medical resources amongst a small sampling of the population. They got to pick who deserves to live and who deserves to die. The lesson involves 10 people who are in desperate need of kidney dialysis. Unless they receive this procedure, they will die, the lesson states. But theres a problem. The local hospital only has enough machines to support six patients. That means four people are not going to live, the assignment states. You must decide from the information below which six will survive. According to the worksheet I received, the student opted to spare the doctor, lawyer, housewife, teacher, cop and Lutheran minister. The others werent so lucky. Among those unceremoniously dispatched to the hereafter were an ex-convict, a prostitute, college student and a disabled person. (source) At least these students will leave high school job-ready. Theyll be all set to serve on the much-speculated Obamacare Death Panels. The assignment you are referring to is not a Death Panel assignment. The assignment is one in the sociology unit of our Introduction To Social Studies class. The purpose of the assignment is to educate students about social values and how people in our society unfortunately create biases based off of professions, race, gender, etc. The teachers goal is to educate students in the fact that these social value biases exist, and that hopefully students will see things from a different perspective after the activity is completed. The teachers purpose in the element of the assignment you are referring to is to get students emotionally involved to participate in the classroom discussion, and to open their minds to the fact that they themselves have their own social biases. The assignment has nothing to do with a Death Panel. We encourage parents to contact their son/daughters teachers if they have any concerns about an assignment in the classroom. That line of communication typically clears up any potential misunderstanding. (source) Kimberly Paxton is a staff writer for the Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared.

3	Canadian Robot Producer First To Denounce Killer RobotsNicholas West Elon Musk is the latest to proclaim the magnitude of the threat following a reading of Nick Bostroms book Superintelligence, stating that robots infused with advanced artificial intelligence are potentially more dangerous than nukes. Stephen Hawking has said much the same, and universities such as Cambridge have said that terminators are one of the greatest threats to mankind according to their study program Centre for the Study of Existential Risk. The above sources do not reflect Luddites and conspiracy-minded individuals. This has led to international human rights groups and concerned citizens to launch a Campaign to Stop Killer Robots. It is a topic being taken up by the United Nations and even the U.S. military itself. However, its doubtful that we should expect global bureaucracy and those who profit from war to be the best solution to an imminent problem. For the first time, a robot manufacturer is sounding the alarm and taking a clear stance against the pursuit of these systems. Clearpath Robotics Co-Founder and CTO, Ryan Gariepy, is offering an open letter that is a must-read, as it clearly focuses on ethics something that consistently has been left out of the equation thus far. Please spread this far and wide so that we can get this debate ramped up as quickly as possible. Once we halt this potential catastrophe, then we can continue debating other aspects of robotics. Please offer your thoughts in the comment section below. The Campaign to Stop Killer Robots (http://www.stopkillerrobots.org/) was launched in April 2013, bringing the topic of killer robots under public scrutiny and for good reason. To the people against killer robots: we support you. This technology has the potential to kill indiscriminately and to proliferate rapidly; early prototypes already exist. Despite our continued involvement with Canadian and international military research and development, Clearpath Robotics believes that the development of killer robots is unwise, unethical, and should be banned on an international scale. The Context How do we define killer robot? Is it any machine developed for military purposes? Any machine which takes actions without human direction? No. Were referring specifically to lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWS); systems where a human does not make the final decision for a machine to take a potentially lethal action. Clearpath Robotics is an organization that engineers autonomous vehicles, systems, and solutions for a global market. As current leaders in the research and development space for unmanned vehicles, making this kind of statement is a risk. However, given the potentially horrific consequences of allowing development of lethal autonomous robots to continue, we are compelled to insist upon the strictest regulation of this technology. The Double-Edged Sword There are, of course, pros and cons to the ethics of autonomous lethal weapons and our team has debated many of them at length. In the end, however, we, as a whole, feel the negative implications of these systems far outweigh any benefits. Is a computer paired with the correct technology less likely to make rash, stress-driven decisions while under fire? Possibly. Conversely, would a robot have the morality, sense, or emotional understanding to intervene against orders that are wrong or inhumane? No. Would computers be able to make the kinds of subjective decisions required for checking the legitimacy of targets and ensuring the proportionate use of force in the foreseeable future? No. Could this technology lead those who possess it to value human life less? Quite frankly, we believe this will be the case. This is an incredibly complex issue. We need to have this discussion now and take a stance; the robotics revolution has arrived and is not going to wait for these debates to occur. Clearpaths Responsibility Clearpath Robotics strives to improve the lives of billions by automating the worlds dull, dirty, and dangerous jobs. This belief does not preclude the use of autonomous robots in the military; we will continue to support our military clients and provide them with autonomous systems especially in areas with direct civilian applications such as logistics, reconnaissance, and search and rescue. In our eyes, no nation in the world is ready for killer robots technologically, legally, or ethically. More importantly, we see no compelling justification that this technology needs to exist in human hands. After all, the development of killer robots isnt a necessary step on the road to self-driving cars, robot caregivers, safer manufacturing plants, or any of the other multitudes of ways autonomous robots can make our lives better. Robotics is at a tipping point, and its up to all of us to decide what path this technology takes. Take Action As a company which continues to develop robots for various militaries worldwide, Clearpath Robotics has more to lose than others might by advocating entire avenues of research be closed off. Nevertheless, we call on anyone who has the potential to influence public policy to stop the development of killer robots before its too late. We encourage those who might see business opportunities in this technology to seek other ways to apply their skills and resources for the betterment of humankind. Finally, we ask everyone to consider the many ways in which this technology would change the face of war for the worse.

1	Clamoring to get an unobstructed view across the South Lawn, a large crowd reportedly gathered outside the White House Friday hoping to catch a brief glimpse of President Obama naked. While Im here, itd be really nice to just get a quick peek of the president, maybe changing in the master bedroom or coming out of the shower, said tourist Ted Hamill of Flagstaff, AZ, one of hundreds standing outside the Executive Residence, shading their eyes, craning their necks, and keeping their cameras at the ready in hopes of getting even a short glance at the commander-in-chief in the buff. Even if hes not completely naked, itd be cool just to get a decent look at Obama in his undershirt and boxers. Or maybe hell have a towel wrapped around his waist and nothing else. That would be a really great Washington D.C. memory for my whole family. At press time, the crowd reportedly uttered a disappointed sigh at only seeing a fully nude Arne Duncan pass by the East Bedroom window. 
3	Why Are American Hospitals Charging Up to $800 for a $1 Bag of Salt Water?Melissa Melton Just last month, this guy posted a bill for his appendectomy on Reddit and it went viral. Why? Because he was charged a stomach-turning $55,000 for the relatively simple procedure an amount that wouldve likely induced appendicitis if the guy hadnt already had his appendix taken out. Overpriced, much? Did that surgery come with foie gras and caviar afterward? Two thoughts crossed my mind when I saw it: A) Thats insanely outlandish, and B) only in America could such an insanely outlandish thing even be possible. I decided to do a little research to see if this was actually true. After all, approximately 70% of the surface of this planet is covered in water 97% of which is of the salt variety. Are hospitals really charging Americans up to $800 for one of the most abundant resources on the planet and something that ultimately costs a whole buck to make? Yes. As a matter of fact, it turns out they are. Some of the patients bills would later include markups of 100 to 200 times the manufacturers price, not counting separate charges for IV administration. And on other bills, a bundled charge for IV therapy was almost 1,000 times the official cost of the solution. How can hospitals get away with charging $800 for a bag of saltwater and $25 for a single aspirin? My dad would call that highway robbery (like dads do). Well, apparently it all has to do with our governments jacked up reimbursement structure: Public programs do not fully pay for the cost of care. The latest figures estimate that hospitals lose $35 billion a year on Medicare, Medicaid and other forms of government reimbursement. For specific procedures, the picture can be even bleaker. Take note, because this money isnt lost you pay the difference. Unable to absorb these losses, the bill gets passed to commercial insurers and employers that purchase health plans for their employees. Hence the itemized charges of $25 for an aspirin or $100 for diapers that are paid by insurers today, and by you and me tomorrow in the form of higher premiums and co-pays. And its only going to get worse as our population ages and more of us call Medicare our insurance provider. When CBS Sacramento asked the hospital mentioned earlier why it charged $55,000 for a simple appendectomy, they confirmed this to be the case: And apparently our big fat investment in Americas Big Pharma-dominated allopathic medical system ultimately gives us some pretty pathetic returns on actual health: We get mediocre to poor results on life expectancy (26th place), infant mortality (31st), low birth weight (28th), maternal mortality (25th), you name it. Its been true since the early 1980s, and we keep looking for solutions from within the health care sector itself. (source) This has been true for decades and yet, were still looking for solutions within what is obviously a failed system? (Of course, now were in the process of being forced into that failed system via Obamacare.) So despite spending 2.5 times more than any other country on healthcare per capita an amount equivalent to 18% of our nations GDP the U.S. is still sitting at 26th in overall life expectancy behind Slovenia? Great. Heres to spending $799 on almost nothing, America! Now you can see why a Bayer pharmaceuticals CEO would say his company doesnt make cancer medicines for Indian markets (a developing nation that averages $132 per person spent on healthcare annually versus Americas $8,362), but for Western patients who can afford them. Uh huh. 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! 
3	Supreme Court Colludes with MonsantoStephen Lendman Its notoriously pro-business. Its longstanding. In Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railway (1886), it granted corporations legal personhood. More recently, in Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Dukes et al (June 2011), it denied longstanding sexual discrimination class action redress. It overruled a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision doing so. In ATT Mobility v. Concepcion (April 2011), it did so two months earlier. It blocked class action redress claiming fraud. The companys wireless subsidiary charged sales tax on cellphones it advertised as free. Two California courts rules for plaintiffs. The High Court overruled them. In Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court ruled for money power over democratic governance. One dollar = one vote. Corporations and PACs can spend all they want. Doing so more than ever lets them control US elections. Voters are effectively disenfranchised. They have no say whatever. Numerous other rulings show Americas High Court is supremely pro-business. The Roberts Court is more so than previous ones. Even The New York Times noticed. On May 4, it headlined Corporations Find a Friend in the Supreme Court. It rejected an anti-trust class action suit against Comcast. Subscribers sought to prove unfair competition and overcharges. Wrongdoing was dismissed 5 4. It didnt surprise. Its consistently pro-business. Doing so facilitates corporate empowerment, discriminatory practices, willful fraud, and products harming human health. He bought mixed soybean seeds. He did so from a grain elevator. He planted them a second time. He supplemented them with soybeans bought from the same source. Monsantos licensing agreement forbids second plantings. It wants seeds sold used only once. It wants farmers to pay each time they plant. Bowman claimed no patent infringement. It expired on what he first bought. He supplemented with commodity soybeans. Theyre usually used for feed. He said they naturally self-replicate or sprout unless stored in a controlled manner. In other words, he planted soybeans, not new seeds. He violated no law. Justice Elena Kagan delivered the court opinion. She didnt surprise. She and other justices spurn judicial fairness. They do so in defense of privilege. She rejected what she called that blame-the-bean defense. Bowman had no chance. He was no match against Monsanto. He was ordered to pay nearly $85,000 in damages. Hes a small farmer. Doing so may bankrupt him. Longstanding agribusiness plans call for greater consolidation at the expense of small competitors. Bowman lost at the district, appellate and High Court levels. They ruled one way. They claimed patent exhaustion doesnt permit farmers to replant seeds and harvest them without patent holders permission. Generic drug companies freely do it. The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act permits it. Once patents expire, holders no longer have exclusive rights. In 2014, the last of Monsantos Roundup Ready US patents will expire. Monsantos supposed to lose exclusivity. At issue is will or wont it happen? Expect Monsanto to press hard to keep it. Earlier it said it wants international regulatory Roundup Ready soybeans support until 2021. Its unclear if other companies will be able to sell generic versions. Monsanto wont make it easy to do so. On May 13, Food Democracy Now (FDN) denounced the Supreme Court ruling. Executive director Dave Murphy accused Washington of complicity in permitting the corporate takeover of (Americas) food supply. Today, he said, the Supreme Court unanimously affirmed the corporate takeover of our food supply, in a huge win for Monsanto, and a major loss for Americas farmers and consumers. Monsanto has long engaged in an effort to subvert family farmers that do not use their genetically-engineered seeds, and the Court has now handed corporations even more control over what our families eat. Currently, Food Democracy Now! is a co-plaintiff in a lawsuit in the District Court of Appeals, Organic Seed Associations et Al. v Monsanto to protect Americas farmers from unwanted contamination of their crops by Monsantos patented genetically-engineered plants. Our nations family farmers grow our food on farms where cross-pollination between organic, non-GMO crops and Monsantos genetically-engineered patented crops is regular and naturally-occurring process. The Courts decision to give Monsanto the power to control the future harvest of Americas family farmers and our countys food supply is deeply troubling, immoral and a very bad sign for the future of our nations food. In March 2013, Obama signed the Monsanto Protection Act.Its the Farmer Assurance Provision rider in HR 933: Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013. Monsanto lawyers wrote it. It permits circumventing judicial decisions. If courts rule GMOs unsafe, Monsantos free to ignore them. So can the Secretary of Agriculture. Hes free to ignore food safety. He can let hazardous GMOs poison Americas food supply. Obamas complicit with giant corporate interests. Hes their man in Washington. Hes beholden to monied interests. They own him. Hes waging global hot wars. Hes enforcing homeland tyranny. He lets Wall Street wage financial wars. He permits institutionalized fraud. He let BP get away with contaminating Americas Gulf. He has longstanding nuclear industry ties. He wants new US commercial reactor construction jump-started. Hes committing billions of dollars in loan guarantees to do so. Hes mindless of the risks. Hes waging war on human health and welfare. Polls show over 90% of America want GMO products and ingredients labeled. In 2007, candidate Obama promised to let folks know when their food is genetically modified, because Americans have a right to know what theyre buying. He lied. Hes a serial liar. He broke every major promise made. He supports Monsantos right to proliferate what harms human health. Its no surprise. Hes waging global wars on humanity. It may not survive his onslaught. A Final Comment Throughout its history, Monsanto produced harmful products. Some eventually were banned. Its recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) increased milk production in cows. It caused painful mastitis, infections and reproductive problems. Large amounts of puss and blood were found in rBGH milk. Potential linkage to cancer was discovered. EU nations and Canada banned it. Its still sold in America. Monsanto lobby power permits it. Monsantos polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) was extremely toxic. It caused cancer and other diseases. Many products contained it. It was dumped in rivers and streams nationwide. Harmful environmental damage followed. Concentrated areas created health crises. In 1976, Congress banned it. Monsantos DDT inspired Rachel Carsons Silent Spring. She exposed aldrin, chlordane, dieldrin, and other dangerously toxic chemicals She inspired environmental justice advocacy groups. America banned DDT. So did other countries. Its still used in tropical countries. Its done to control malaria. Monsantos legacy includes Agent Orange. It contains dioxin. Its one of the most deadly substances known. Its a potent carcinogenic human immune system suppressant. Minute amounts cause serious health problems and death. Exposure results in congenital disorders and birth defects. It causes cancer, type two diabetes, and numerous other diseases. Its widespread Southeast Asian use produced horrific consequences. Millions were affected. Many died. Living victims still suffer. Many Vietnam vets and US citizens in theater were affected. Proliferating hazardous GMOs may be worst of all. Widespread food contamination poses enormous threats. Sanctioning Monsantos use makes Washington complicit. People have a right to know what theyre eating. Failure to prohibit substances harming human health violates the Constitutions general welfare clause. Article I, Section 8 states: The Congress shall have power to provide for (the) general welfare of the United States. It means We the People. It includes everyone equitably. It means what never was, isnt now, or wont ever be under a system favoring privilege, not fairness. Washingtons corporate occupied territory. Profits matter more than human life and welfare. Bipartisan complicity ignores the general welfare. Things go from bad to worse. Its longstanding. Its the American way.

2	US Border Patrol Agents Are Contracting This Fatal Disease From Obamas Migrants According to recent reports, a border patrol agent in Laredo, TX was forced to go to the hospital for over a week, after he contracted bacterial pneumonia from an illegal immigrant he was processing at the border. According to Jarrad Seely, Vice President of the National Border Patrol Council 2455, claimed that the infected agent will now face chronic asthmatic symptoms for the remainder of his life. According to Seely, even though weeks have passed since the agent contracted the illness, he is still so ill he is unable to speak. Its a very traumatic experience, Seely told reporters. And this agents story is just one of many. Our agents have been getting sick more often than before with flues and congestion and a whole bunch of respiratory illnesses, said Hector Garza, the secretary and treasurer of NBPC 2455, told reporters. The processing room was severely overcrowded and that just made [it] the perfect breeding ground for these diseases. What do you think? Does something need to be done about these facilities now? Is the administration putting our country at risk? 
1	Confirming that the custom originated some 2,600 years ago, archaeologists from the University of Athens announced Wednesday the discovery of an ancient amphitheater where they believe the first inconsiderate prick reserved seats for friends who were running late. While excavating the amphitheater, we found a length of linen fibers spread across multiple seats, suggesting that an ancient dickhead most likely arrived early and laid down his tunic to designate that the spaces beside him were taken, said lead researcher Grigoris Halikias, noting that the blocked-off area was in a prime location in the center of the theater, obnoxiously leaving only one seat open on the end of the row so that not even a couple could sit there. Based on what weve recovered from the site, it is our belief that this early fucker also had the nerve to shake his head and apologize profusely to those seeking to sit down, all the while consistently refusing to give up even a single seat as the amphitheater filled up around him and his friends remained nowhere in sight. Halikias added that further research would be needed to determine if the ancient theater had also served as the location where a clumsy dumbass first clambered past others in his row, forcing them to stand up and make way so he could use the restroom moments after the performance began. 
1	Though 7-year-old Aaron Edwards is in fact a miserable little shit who constantly picks on his younger sister and talks back to his parents, Dodgers third-base coach Rich Donnelly gave him a foul ball Tuesday night after being conned by the cuteness of the snot's oversized baseball mitt and loose-fitting, ear-enveloping Dodgers cap. 'Had I known that Aaron doesn't share his toys and has a history of teasing the dog, I never would have given him the ball,' Donnelly said in a postgame press conference, adding that perhaps he should consider giving people foul balls based on their good manners instead of their appearance. 'But when you see a kid looking that adorable, especially one with chocolate ice cream stains on his face, there's no way you think that he spent the last inning throwing a temper tantrum about how the sun was too bright and he wanted to go home even though his father paid good money for tickets.' When asked for comment, Edwards hid behind his father's legs, although sources confirmed the little shit wasn't nearly as shy last Saturday when he repeatedly kicked Jessica Ross, 7, in her shins. 
1	Sports journalists and television crews were pushed aside during Super Bowl Media Day on Tuesday as more than 1,000 writers for the website BleacherReport.com entered Lucas Oil Stadium to acquire material for their trademark style of reportage. 'I asked Tom Bardy [sic] where he thought he should be on my list of the top 10 guys to ever play in the Super Bowl, and he said it didn't sound like I had anyone who played before 2005,' said Bleacher Report writer Darron Nasty, 16, whose credentials identified him as 'Writer, Top 10 Carolina and Miami Hurricanes Writer, June 2011.' 'I think we got a lot of good answers, though, and our Super Bowl analysis lists are going to give a lot of insight to the fans and coaching staffs.' Also at Media Day for the first time was the sports and culture web magazine Grantland, which sent Vin Scully to narrate the proceedings so that editors could sit at home listening to him on the radio while drinking cognac. 
2	BREAKING: Wisconsin Announces Devastating Announcement About The Recount... This Could Get Nasty In the last few weeks, Green Party candidate Jill Stein has invested an immense amount of effort calling for vote recounts in the states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsinarguing that they were the victim of voter fraud. Many have dismissed Steins efforts as bitterness. After all, she only raked in 1% of the vote herself and its clear that Hillary Clinton was her second choice for President. Perhaps we should have been taking her efforts more seriously. According to new reports, evidence has surfaced showing that the votes in Wisconsin were indeed tampered with. The source, known only as Wendy, claims to be on the ground in St. Croix County in Wisconsin. During the recount of the machines used and all ballots cast by hand, Wendy observed five broken seals on nine voting machines. The seals come with a warning: removal of seal voids warranty. The evidence has since been posted on Steins official website. This evidence is difficult to dispute, but its hard to know for sure if the machines were tampered with before or after the election. There is no timeline as to when the machines were originally issued, or if they were also used in previous elections. Election officials in the state have not yet offered a statement on the matter. We do know that some rules were broken, and its possible that the democratic process was interrupted. What do you think? Could this mean trouble for Donald Trump? 
2	DISGRACE: You Wont Believe What Obama Just Did The Eve Of Memorial Day Guess where Obama is? If you guessed that he was in the White House doing his job, youre wrong. Instead, Obama is visiting Japan to pay tribute to the silent cry of the 140,000 victims of the atomic bomb dropped 71 years ago on Hiroshima. On his trip, he called on the world to abandon the logic of fear that encourages the stockpiling of nuclear weapons. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe stood by his side in a bombed-out building behind him. Obama continued to urge the world to do better. We stand here in the middle of this city and force ourselves to imagine the moment the bomb fell, Obama commented. We force ourselves to feel the dread of children confused by what they see. We listen to a silent cry. Death fell from the sky and the world was change, Obama commented, laying a wreath, closing his eyes and bowing his head in front of an arched stone monument in Hiroshimas Peace Memorial Park. The flash of light and a wall of fire destroyed a city and demonstrated that mankind possessed the means to destroy itself. What do you think of Obamas actions? 
1	Ahead of tonights debate with Republican nominee Mitt Romney, sources within the Obama campaign confirmed that the president is hoping moderator Jim Lehrer doesnt ask any questions about the economy of the United States. Hopefully he just completely forgets to ask about the unemployment rate and anemic job numbers, or maybe well luck out and just run out of time before he can cover it, Obama reportedly told senior campaign adviser Robert Gibbs, adding that he is crossing his fingers and hoping Lehrer also doesnt bring up health care reform, immigration, gun control, Medicare, or Social Security during the 90-minute debate on domestic issues. Actually, if the whole thing could just focus on gay rights, that would be perfect. At press time, Obama was reportedly staring blankly at a copy of the the Labor Departments August jobs report. 
3	Life in the Electronic Concentration Camp: The Surveillance State Is Alive and WellBig Brother in the form of an increasingly powerful government and in an increasingly powerful private sector will pile the records high with reasons why privacy should give way to national security, to law and order [] and the like. William O. Douglas, Supreme Court Justice There is no cause for celebration. We have secured no major victories against tyranny. We have achieved no great feat in pushing back against government overreach. For all intents and purposes, the National Security Agency has supposedly ceased its bulk collection of metadata from Americans phone calls, but read the fine print: nothing is going to change. The USA Freedom Act, which claimed to put an end to the National Security Agencys controversial collection of metadata from Americans phone calls, was just a placebo pill intended to make us feel better and let the politicians take credit for reforming mass surveillance. In other words, it was a sham, a sleight-of-hand political gag pulled on a gullible public desperate to believe that we still live in a constitutional republic rather than a down-and-out, out-of-control, corporate-controlled, economically impoverished, corrupt, warring, militarized banana republic. You cannot restrain the NSA. The beast has outgrown its chains. You cannot reform the NSA. A government that lies, cheats, steals, sidesteps the law, and then absolves itself of wrongdoing does not voluntarily alter its behavior. You cannot put an end to the NSAs technotyranny. Presidents, politicians, and court rulings have come and gone over the course of the NSAs 60-year history, but none of them have managed to shut down the governments secret surveillance of Americans phone calls, emails, text messages, transactions, communications and activities. Indeed, the government has become an expert in finding ways to sidestep niggling, inconvenient laws aimed at ensuring accountability, bringing about government transparency and protecting citizen privacy. It has mastered the art of stealth maneuvers and end-runs around the Constitution. It knows all too well how to hide its nefarious, covert, clandestine activities behind the classified language of national security and terrorism. And when that doesnt suffice, it obfuscates, complicates, stymies or just plain bamboozles the public into remaining in the dark. Case in point: the so-called end of the NSAs metadata collection of Americans phone calls. This, of course, is no end at all. On any given day, the average American going about his daily business will still be monitored, surveilled, spied on and tracked in more than 20 different ways, by both government and corporate eyes and ears. More than a year before politicians attempted to patch up our mortally wounded privacy rights with the legislative bandaid fix that is the USA Freedom Act, researchers at Harvard and Boston University documented secret loopholes that allow the government to bypass Fourth Amendment protections to conduct massive domestic surveillance on U.S. citizens. Its extraordinary rendition all over again, only this time its surveillance instead of torture being outsourced. In much the same way that the government moved its torture programs overseas in order to bypass legal prohibitions against doing so on American soil, it is doing the same thing for its surveillance programs. By shifting its data storage, collection and surveillance activities outside of the country, the government is able to bypass constitutional protections against unwarranted searches of Americans emails, documents, social networking data, and other cloud-stored data. Heck, the government doesnt even need to move all of its programs overseas. It just has to push the data over the border in order to [circumvent] constitutional and statutory safeguards seeking to protect the privacy of Americans. Credit for this particular brainchild goes to the Obama administration, which issued Executive Order 12333 authorizing the collection of Americans data from surveillance conducted on foreign soil. Using this rationale, the government was able to justify hacking into and collecting an estimated 180 million user records from Google and Yahoo data centers every month because the data travels over international fiber-optic cables. The NSA program, dubbed MUSCULAR, is carried out in concert with British intelligence. No wonder the NSA appeared so unfazed about being forced to shut down its much-publicized metadata program. It had already figured out a way to accomplish the same results (illegally spying on Americans communications) without being shackled by the legislative or judicial branches of the government. Mind you, this metadata collection now being carried out overseas is just a small piece of the surveillance pie. The government and its corporate partners have a veritable arsenal of surveillance programs that will continue to operate largely in secret, carrying out warrantless mass surveillance on hundreds of millions of Americans phone calls, emails, text messages and the like, beyond the scrutiny of most of Congress and the taxpayers who are forced to fund its multi-billion dollar secret black ops budget. The surveillance state is alive and well and kicking privacy to shreds in America. Whether youre walking through a store, driving your car, checking email, or talking to friends and family on the phone, you can be sure that some government agency, whether the NSA or some other entity, will still be listening in and tracking your behavior. This doesnt even begin to touch on the corporate trackers that monitor your purchases, web browsing, Facebook posts and other activities taking place in the cyber sphere. We are now in a state of transition with the police state shifting into high-gear under the auspices of the surveillance state. Having already transformed local police into extensions of the military, the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department and the FBI are preparing to turn thenations police officers into techno-warriors, complete with iris scanners, body scanners, thermal imaging Doppler radar devices, facial recognition programs, license plate readers, cell phone Stingray devices and so much more. Add in the fusion centers, city-wide surveillance networks, data clouds conveniently hosted overseas by Amazon and Microsoft, drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras, and biometric databases, and youve got the makings of a world in which privacy is reserved exclusively for government agencies. Thus, telephone surveillance by the NSA is the least of our worries. Even with restrictions on its ability to collect mass quantities of telephone metadata, the government and its various spy agencies, from the NSA to the FBI, can still employ an endless number of methods for carrying out warrantless surveillance on Americans, all of which are far more invasive than the bulk collection program. As I point out in my new book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, just about every branch of the governmentfrom the Postal Service to the Treasury Department and every agency in betweennow has its own surveillance sector, authorized to spy on the American people. Then there are the fusion and counterterrorism centers that gather all of the data from the smaller government spiesthe police, public health officials, transportation, etc.and make it accessible for all those in power. And of course that doesnt even begin to touch on the complicity of the corporate sector, which buys and sells us from cradle to grave, until we have no more data left to mine. Indeed, Facebook, Amazon and Google are among the governments closest competitors when it comes to carrying out surveillance on Americans, monitoring the content of your emails, tracking your purchases and exploiting your social media posts. Few consumers understand what data are being shared, with whom, or how the information is being used, reports the Los Angeles Times. Most Americans emit a stream of personal digital exhaust what they search for, what they buy, who they communicate with, where they are that is captured and exploited in a largely unregulated fashion. Its not just what we say, where we go and what we buy that is being tracked. Were being surveilled right down to our genes, thanks to a potent combination of hardware, software and data collection that scans our biometricsour faces, irises, voices, genetics, even our gaitruns them through computer programs that can break the data down into unique identifiers, and then offers them up to the government and its corporate allies for their respective uses. All of those internet-connected gadgets we just have to have (Forbes refers to them as (data) pipelines to our intimate bodily processes)the smart watches that can monitor our blood pressure and the smart phones that let us pay for purchases with our fingerprints and iris scansare setting us up for a brave new world where there is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. For instance, imagine what the NSA could do (and is likely already doing) with voiceprint technology, which has been likened to a fingerprint. Described as the next frontline in the battle against overweening public surveillance, the collection of voiceprints is a booming industry for governments and businesses alike. As The Guardian reports, voice biometrics could be used to pinpoint the location of individuals. There is already discussion about placing voice sensors in public spaces, and [Lee Tien, senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation] said that multiple sensors could be triangulated to identify individuals and specify their location within very small areas. Suddenly the NSAs telephone metadata program seems like childs play compared to whats coming down the pike. That, of course, is the point. The NSA is merely one small part of a shadowy permanent government comprised of unelected bureaucrats who march in lockstep with profit-driven corporations that actually runs Washington, DC, and works to keep us under surveillance and, thus, under control. For example, Google openly works with the NSA, Amazon has built a massive $600 million intelligence database for CIA, and the telecommunications industry is making a fat profit by spying on us for the government. In other words, Corporate America is making a hefty profit by aiding and abetting the government in its domestic surveillance efforts. At every turn, we have been handicapped in our quest for transparency, accountability and a representative democracy by an establishment culture of secrecy: secret agencies, secret experiments, secret military bases, secret surveillance, secret budgets, and secret court rulings, all of which exist beyond our reach, operate outside our knowledge, and do not answer to we the people. Now there are still those who insist that they have nothing to hide from the surveillance state and nothing to fear from the police state because they have done nothing wrong. To those sanctimonious few, secure in their delusions, let this be a warning: the danger posed by the American police state applies equally to all of uslawbreaker and law abider alike, black and white, rich and poor, liberal and conservative, blue collar and white collar, and any other distinction youd care to trot out. In an age of too many laws, too many prisons, too many government spies, and too many corporations eager to make a fast buck at the expense of the American taxpayer, there is no safe place and no watertight alibi. We are all guilty of some transgression or other, and eventually, we will all be made to suffer the same consequences in the electronic concentration camp that surrounds us. Constitutional attorney and author John W. Whitehead is founder and president of The Rutherford Institute, where this article first appeared. He is the author of A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State. The moment you cower down in front of the Feds, they win. If you are smart, you will seek out your local militia, buy all the people in your family guns and ammunition and lessons if you do not know how to use them and then standby to standby. It is better to die on your feet then live on your knees. Take out as many as you can. How does one seek and find their local militia? Is there and do you by any good chance have access to a nationwide contact list of them? I really see no point to these discussion threads. The Government has no laws. They have power and they use it any way they want. There should have been a national Constitution-burning event years ago. Yet they have unleashed a brutal Rule Of Law which merits armed resistance i.e., killing the perpetrators of life-destroying hypocrisies. So whos gonna come-a-knockin on my door after this maybe a retired drone operator-turned-cop, with several hundred innocent child-kills under his belt? Yeah, buddy. They aint got the gnodes. More likely one of their extra-judicial assets so abundant here in Mohave County, Arizona. Theyll come knocking with a BS story designed if possible to worm into your life while you try to figure it out. But if they knew how its gonna turn out, they wouldnt want in now. I am so totally beyond angry, tired, and weary of the USA surface and shadow governments in partnership with rich big corporate America daily violating my entire life, all civil rights freedoms, privacy, those of all my family and friends too for 8 long miserable years now of non-stop ongoing illegal targeting, harassment, and intimidation of every kind. Does anyone out there know of any independent underground organizations of American citizens well helping themselves and other suffering Americans to effectively fight against all of this or to effectively and affordably entirely drop off-grid and off-radar from debilitating, illegal and abusive government monitoring? THE SOUL NEVER FORGETS. Upon the Soul, though not yet brought to Consciousness, is impressed every thought, desire and act. The Soul continues to retain these impressions unless they are removed by thoughts, acts and deeds of what we term goodness. These impressions on the mind vanish from sight, i.e., are mostly forgotten, BUT EVIL DEEDS CONTINUE FOR EVER AS A DEBT, UNLESS REMOVED NOT BY MERE BELIEF The meaning of Karma is in the intention. The intention behind action is what matters. Those who are motivated only by desire for the fruits of action are miserable, for they are constantly anxious about the results of what they do. They live in wisdom who see themselves in all and all in them, who have renounced every selfish desire and sense-craving tormenting the heart.

Now Watch His INCREDIBLE Response [VIDEO] When United States Marine Lance Corporal Marland Trey Kent was asked to participate in the Iowa tribes annual powwow, he did not know that his performance would be a stunning illustration of the collision of two worlds. A Marine in his blues was standing at attention, next to a Native American dressed in his full celebration regalia. As the drums began to beat, the two started dancing together as warrior brothers. As it turns out, Kent was being honored and respected by the tribe, and they asked him to carry out the American flag during the grand entry. He was asked to perform the traditional war dance in a gesture to honor a fellow dancer and veteran. He put his heart and soul into it. Watch the amazing video below, and keep an eye on the warriors faces throughout the performance. This would be incredible to see in person!

2	The Illness Is Progressing, But Glens Faith Is Allowing Him To Do This In the Face Of Death Glen Campbell has always been a man of faith. Even during the darker times of his youth he would find peace in knowing that God would forgive him. He and his family constantly prayed in times of need and in times of celebration. They remained hopeful during the darkest times, and that is what is getting though these terrible times. It was revealed that Glen has lost all ability to speak. It has been a long time since he was able to play guitar, so his family plays music during every visit. Glen cannot speak, but he seems to know he is in good place. It is as if God is looking to him and Glen is looking back. Glen does respond to smiling and other tender things, but cant communicate fully. When Glens Family comes to visit they always look to Glen for a smile. He does and that is how they know his faith is still there. Glen is content and enjoys his care at the home he is staying at. It is very tough for anyone to deal with Alzheimers, but for the Campbell family to do what they have done is truly inspiring. Glen lived an amazing life. He will be missed as we painfully wait for the day of his passing. Will you send your love and prayers? 
1	In anticipation of Sundays conference championship games, retired college coach Jack Harbaugh told reporters that he is rooting for Tom Brady to lead the New England Patriots to another Super Bowl victory, saying the veteran quarterback deserves a fourth ring. 'Of everyone playing the game right now, Brady ought to to take home the big win, because he's a great guy, a great competitor, and it would be awesome to see him rack up another title while he's still got it,' said the former Western Kentucky Hilltoppers head coach, father of three, who pointed to Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons as the only other remaining quarterback who deserves to make the Super Bowl. 'It would have been amazing to see another classic Brady-[Peyton] Manning AFC matchup, but now that the Broncos are out, I don't see who's going to stop the Patriots from going all the way. Anyone standing between them and that trophy better watch out.' Harbaugh, who went on to praise the Patriots' Bill Belichick as 'the best in the league' and 'my kind of coach,' expressed disappointment that the formidable gridiron tactician wouldn't face much in the way of competition en route to securing yet another championship. 
1	According to Jeffrey Duncan, 43, his friend Ronald Washington 'completely ripped off' his personal mantra from civil-rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. 'Ron's always saying how if someone doesn't have a cause worth dying for, then that person's life isn't worth living,' Duncan said Monday. 'Nice try, Ron, but you can't fool me. You totally stole that whole idea from Dr. King.' Duncan said he hopes King's estate 'nails Ron's ass for plagiarism.' 
3	Mayor Bloomberg Says America Needs to Change the Constitution in Wake of Boston Marathon Bombingselfnews Post As the Occupy Wall Street protests gathered momentum, it was Bloomberg who attacked activists with charges of undermining the economy and tourism. When police turned to pepper spray and beatings (caught clearly on film), no condemnation was forthcoming. (Incidentally, a Manhattan court has just ruled that there will be no charges issued against these officers since, using force is part of their job.) Rather than reign in his out-of control police, premeditated mass arrests ensued which drew lawsuits from protesters. Now, more than a decade after 9/11, New York currently stands as one of the most high-tech militarized cities on the planet, in addition to having carte blanche to impose a whole range of unconstitutional measures across the city. Nevertheless, Bloomberg apparently still feels restricted by that quaint document some know as the formative rule of law upon which citizens can depend for their safety. Rather, he suggests that it is he and his police state that should provide additional protection. Bloomberg recently invoked 9/11, yet again, in order to echo concerns surrounding the Boston Marathon Bombings and the world in which we live. As Politicker reports: And it doesnt stop there. As we reported just a month ago, Bloomberg has already admitted that Big Brother is here and to expect police drones . . . and we had better adapt: Evidently the drone industry has wasted no time to make a PR push in order to capitalize on the tragedy. In yesterdays statement, Bloomberg appears to be stunningly honest in his assessment of the problem-reaction-solution method that leads to constitutional rights being eliminated in favor of handing over increasing power to the state: Given the track record of everything that has been put in place to turn New York City into a military encampment with roving bands of thug police given explicit permission to bash the heads of anyone who dissents, Bloomberg has proven to be the perfect man for the job of changing the U.S. Constitution. Naturally, then, it is the NYC model that is destined to be offered across the nation now that de facto martial law has been set as a precedent in Boston under the euphemism: lockdown. However, if we still live in an increasingly dangerous world, as he suggests, then how has public safety been improved by measures already undertaken? Instead, it is Bloomberg and his ilk that are responsible for making America one of the most dangerous locations on the planet by shredding theConstitutionand creating a permanent war zone.

1	More than 15 hours after the conclusion of the second presidential debate, sources confirmed members of the town-hall audience who asked questions last night are still standing in the now-empty hall at Hofstra University, note cards in hand, patiently waiting for the candidates to actually provide them with answers. President Obama, during the Democratic National Convention in 2008, you stated you wanted to keep AK-47s out of the hands of criminals. What has your administration done or planned to do to limit the availability of assault weapons? said debate attendee Nina Gonzalez, who asked her question almost one day ago, has yet to receive a straight answer, and, along with 10 other audience members, told reporters she is hoping Obama and Mitt Romney return to Long Island at some point to address her topic of concern as opposed to talking about something else entirely. At press time, the audience members were reportedly all still standing there, waiting.

1	Struggling to propel his husky frame through the water with the correct momentum and timing needed to be carried toward shore, a beefy little boy on a boogie board at Garden City Beach reportedly missed his fourth wave in a row Monday afternoon. Witnesses confirmed that the little butterball, who reportedly began huffing and puffing after barely wading into the water up to his roly-poly waist, was seen heaving his entire fleshy stomach onto his board either a second too early or too late to catch the crest of each wave that came rolling by. Although the total chubsters beady little eyes are said to have grown wide with anticipation at the sight of every oncoming wave, the porkers practice of taking a huge breath, scrunching up his whole piggy face, and vaulting his hefty body forward had reportedly failed in all four attempts. After winding up just a few feet from his original position, reports indicate that the blubber boy would then spend several moments struggling to stand in the surf, hoist up his swim trunks, and toddle back to the spot where he had previously been standing in order to try again. At press time, the plump little tubbo was reportedly lumbering toward his towel, where his entire meaty face lit up at the sight of ice pops in his familys cooler.

3	EU Punishes Thailand for Ousting Mass Murdering DictatorTony Cartalucci It also claimed: An urgent return to democratic rule, however is impossible, because there was never any democratic rule to begin with. In fact, this was one of the many issues that provoked the military coup in late May 2014 in the first place. The EUs calls for respecting human rights and freedoms, is also suspiciously hypocritical, as similar calls were absent in the weeks and months leading up to the coup, when the now ousted regime of Thaksin Shinawatra was carrying out a nation-wide terror campaign against his political opponents that left over 20 people dead and hundreds maimed. In fact, the Royal Thai Army has removed from power one of the worst human rights offenders in Thai history. Thaksin Shinawatra oversaw the deaths of over 3,000 innocent people during his time in power, including under various proxy regimes run by family members including his brother-in-law and his own sister, as well as political allies openly serving as his nominees. To describe the Shinawatra regime as democratic is to sidestep the fact that Thaksin Shinawatra himself had been running the country from exile with those elected serving openly as proxies his proxies an arrangement as illegal as it is undemocratic. Ousted Dictator Creates Human Rights and Democracy Front After Trampling Both The EUs move to condemn Thailand comes just a day before Thaksin Shinawatras deposed regime announced the rebranding of its criminal enterprise. Formally known as Peua Thai Party (for Thais), with its subsidiary, the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) constituting its violent street front, it is now being called the Free Thais for Human Rights and Democracy (FTHD). The curious title is ironic indeed, as Shinawatras regime trampled both human rights and democracy for the decade it was in power. Shinawatra had overseen the mass murdering of some 3,000 innocent people over a 90-day period in 2003 as part of a politically-motivated war on drugs. The following year he would have over 85 protesters killed in a single day in Thailands troubled south. During his first term in office, 18 human rights activists and lawyers would be either assassinated or disappeared and since his initial ousting from power in 2006, one prominent opponent of his narrowly survived a brazen broad daylight assassination attempt, while two others did not, and were killed. And in the months leading up to his regimes final ousting from power this year, Shinawatra had deployed a vast terrorist network across the country, with large caches of assault rifles, grenade launchers, and hand grenades. Attacks were carried out almost nightly against Shinawatras political opponents, from armed assaults carried out against unarmed protesters at night, to grenade attacks on Thailands courts and the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC). For Shinawatras FTHD to feature a dove as its logo is the metaphorical dancing of Shinawatra on the graves of his many victims. That the EU has clearly, intentionally ignored the true nature of Thailands political crisis exposes its hand, along with the US, in backing the Shinawatra regime and attempting to undermine the new government in hopes of returning Shinawatra or one of his political allies to power in the near future. That they insist a transgression against democracy has been committed in the removal of a mass murdering dictator proves that Shinawatras utility in serving Western interests takes precedence over his trampling of alleged Western values of human rights and democracy. For the new government of Thailand, there is no winning in the face of such self-serving, unprincipled hypocrisy. Their best bet, instead of attempting to appease the West, is to simply ignore their unconstructive and manipulative meddling in Thailands internal political affairs and proceed solely with what is best for Thailand and its future. Threats to cut ties with Thailand should be met with efforts by Thailand to ensure it no longer depends on such ties with the West in the first place. Dependence begets subservience, independence begets freedom. Ironically, Shinawatras Free Thai movement represents precisely the opposite of what true freedom requires his Free Thai movement is working on behalf of foreign interests that seek to impose globalized interdependence on the Kingdom. The new Thai government should be working in the opposite direction.

3	New NDAA Bolsters Guantanamo-style Indefinite Detention for AmericansChris Anders But we now have the bill, and everyone can read it. And everyone should understand what is in this new National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) before the full Senate makes a big mistake and paves the way for Guantnamo-style indefinite detention being brought to the United States itself. The new Senate NDAA: Brings Indefinite Detention to the U.S. Itself: The bill now says that detainees may be brought to the United States for detention pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). In plain English, that means the policy of indefinite detention by the military, without charge or trial, could be carried out here at home. Right now, the number of people in the U.S. in military indefinite detention is zero. If the bill is enacted, that number could immediately jump to 100 or more. Bolsters Claims of NDAA and AUMF Indefinite Detention Authority: The AUMF is the basis for the indefinite detention authority included in the NDAA that Congress passed nearly three years ago. Indefinite detention is wrong today and certainly cannot be sustained past the end of U.S. combat in the Afghan war. But passing a new Senate NDAA that relies on detention authority based on the AUMF, just as the U.S. combat role in the war is winding down, could be used by the government to bolster its claim that indefinite detention can just keep on going. Even when any actual U.S. combat is over. Tries to Strip Federal Courts of Ability to Decide Challenges to Harmful Conditions: In a stunning provision, the Senate NDAA tries to strip federal courts of their ability to hear or consider any challenge related to harmful treatment or conditions by detainees brought to the United States. This provision tries to gut our system of checks and balances by cutting out the courts. Violates Supreme Court Decision by Stripping Habeas Rights from Detainees Left at Guantnamo: In a classic example of why it is never a good idea for a committee to legislate behind closed doors, the Senate NDAA includes language inadvertently stripping habeas rights from any Guantnamo detainee who is not moved to the United States. Habeas is the very fundamental protection of being able to have a judge decide whether it is legal or illegal to hold someone in prison. While this is almost certainly the product of sloppy drafting, the result squarely contradicts the Supreme Courts decision in Boumediene v. Bush, in which the Court said Guantanamo detainees have a constitutional right to habeas. Blocks Most Cleared Detainees from Going Home: The Senate NDAA would block the transfer home of the vast majority of cleared detainees by imposing a blanket ban on transfers to Yemen, instead of continuing to allow the secretary of defense to make decisions on an individual basis. That would mean dozens of detainees cleared for transfer would remain trapped in limbo. There is a right way and a wrong way to close Guantnamo. Charging and trying in court anyone who committed a crime and sending anyone who isnt charged with a crime back home or to another country is the right way to close Guantnamo. Simply moving all of the bad Guantnamo policies to the U.S. itself is the wrong way. The Senate NDAA gets it very wrong. We urge all senators to say NO to these provisions.

Children are being conditioned to say Happy Holidays instead, acknowledging that there are some who dont believe in god, or who may be practicing religions like Islam. Of course, presidential candidate Donald Trump is having none of it. I got out of my way to use the word Christmas, Trump told reporters. Theres an assault on anything having to do with Christianity. They dont want to use the word Christmas anymore at department stores. Theres always lawsuits and unfortunately a lot of those lawsuits are won by the other side. I will assault that, Trump continued. I will go so strongly against so many things, when they take away the word Christmas. What do you think? Do you support Trump standing up for Christians around the country?

1	A simple typographical error in a proposal to set aside a scenic Big Horn Mountain valley for public recreation has resulted in the construction of the 10,020-acre Henrietta Bedford Memorial Skate Park, Wyoming Department of Natural Resources officials announced Tuesday. Map of Wyoming 'I am pleased to dedicate Wyoming's new skate park,' said baffled Wyoming Parks Department supervisor William DuBois, reading from a prepared statement. 'This skateboarding park honors the memory of Miss Henrietta Bedford, a leading Wyoming conservationist, physician, and women's-suffrage activista woman who knew the importance of nature to the radical and the sick.' DuBois then assisted Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal in cutting a ribbon stretched across the park's 22-foot-deep, mile-long half-pipe, the largest ever installed in a state-run outdoor recreation facility. Park officials said the typo went undetected, as it was a minor rider to the 'Healthy Forests Initiative,' which granted timber companies greater access to public forests. By the time the error was identified, state officials had already spent $43 million integrating the skate park's numerous ramps, rails, pipes, and inclines into the natural topography of the Absaroka Range. After some deliberation, park officials voted to complete the skate park. 'No, it might not have otherwise occurred to me to build a grind rail running the length of Mount Logan's East Ridge,' Wyoming Department of Natural Resources director James Hester said. 'Nor would I have recognized the scree moraines on the south face of the Absarokas as the perfect foundation for a system of interlocking skate bowls. And I'm as surprised as anyone to see the waters of the Shoshone River running through a system of concrete half-pipes. However, the Wyoming Division of Cultural Resources, in partnership with the United States Department of Natural Resources, made a commitment, and we honor our commitments.' Jason Westphal, 15, enjoys an afternoon of fresh air and sunshine. Additional features of the park include a system of high-curbs and railings to replicate the natural environment of street skaters, a goofy-footed stalefish estuary on the banks of the Laramie River, and a 120-acre migration habitat intended to draw the graceful yet elusive Tony Hawk. Although construction of the skate park has been roundly criticized by environmental groups and the majority of Wyoming's citizens, the park has found supporters in the 'extreme sporting' community. 'Without question, this is a big step in the right direction for the state of Wyoming,' said Thrasher magazine editor Jake Phelps, who praised the move from his San Francisco office. 'Although I hear the park is heavily biased towards vert with only a few street elements, I think it's a start. I hope other states will follow the precedent set by Gov. Freudenthal and consider creating ideal environments for ripping wicked fakies.' Added Phelps: 'Wyoming isn't that weak-beer state, is it? Oh, no, that's Utah? Razor.' Perhaps attempting to make the best of the gaffe, Wyoming Game and Fish Department director Terry Cleveland said he sees the skate park as a positive addition to the Wyoming landscape. 'We'll be attracting a segment of the population that might never have visited our state's spectacular public wildlife areas before,' Cleveland said. 'The debate on public land use has always been one of preservation versus access. In this case, we chose access. I only hope people keep an open mind about our decision to allow citizens the freedom to shred.'

3	The Libor Scandal In Full PerspectivePaul Craig Roberts, Contributor The price of Treasury bonds is supported by the Federal Reserves large purchases. The Federal Reserves purchases are often misread as demand arising from a flight to quality due to concern about the EU sovereign debt problem and possible failure of the euro. Another rationale used to explain the demand for Treasuries despite their negative yield is the flight to safety. A 2% yield on a Treasury bond is less of a negative interest rate than the yield of a few basis points on a bank CD, and the US government, unlike banks, can use its central bank to print the money to pay off its debts. It is possible that some investors purchase Treasuries for these reasons. However, the safety and flight to quality explanations could not exist if interest rates were rising or were expected to rise. The Federal Reserve prevents the rise in interest rates and decline in bond prices, which normally result from continually issuing new debt in enormous quantities at negative interest rates, by announcing that it has a low interest rate policy and will purchase bonds to keep bond prices high. Without this Fed policy, there could be no flight to safety or quality. As the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England are themselves fixing interest rates at historic lows in order to mask the insolvency of their respective banking systems, they naturally do not object that the banks themselves contribute to the success of this policy by fixing the Libor rate and by selling massive amounts of interest rate swaps, a way of shorting interest rates and driving them down or preventing them from rising. The lower is Libor, the higher is the price or evaluations of floating-rate debt instruments, such as CDOs, and thus the stronger the banks balance sheets appear. Does this mean that the US and UK financial systems can only be kept afloat by fraud that harms purchasers of interest rate swaps, which include municipalities advised by sellers of interest rate swaps, and those with saving accounts? The answer is yes, but the Libor scandal is only a small part of the interest rate rigging scandal. The Federal Reserve itself has been rigging interest rates. How else could debt issued in profusion be bearing negative interest rates? As villainous as they might be, Barclays bank chief executive Bob Diamond, Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan, and Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs are not the main villains. The main villains are former Treasury Secretary and Goldman Sachs chairman Robert Rubin, who pushed Congress for the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act, and the sponsors of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley bill, which repealed the Glass-Steagall Act. Glass-Steagall was put in place in 1933 in order to prevent the kind of financial excesses that produced the current ongoing financial crisis. President Clintons Treasury Secretary, Robert Rubin, presented the removal of all constraints on financial chicanery as financial modernization. Taking restraints off of banks was part of the hubristic response to the end of history. Capitalism had won the struggle with socialism and communism. Vindicated capitalism no longer needed its concessions to social welfare and regulation that capitalism used in order to compete with socialism. The constraints on capitalism could now be thrown off, because markets were self-regulating as Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, among many, declared. It was financial deregulationthe repeal of Glass-Steagall, the removal of limits on debt leverage, the absence of regulation of OTC derivatives, the removal of limits on speculative positions in future marketsthat caused the ongoing financial crisis. No doubt but that JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs and others were after maximum profits by hook or crook, but their opportunity came from the neoconservative triumphalism of democratic capitalisms historical victory over alternative socio-politico-economic systems. The ongoing crisis cannot be addressed without restoring the laws and regulations that were repealed and discarded. But putting Humpty-Dumpty back together again is an enormous task full of its own perils. The financial concentration that deregulation fostered has left us with broken financial institutions that are too big to fail. To understand the fullness of the problem, consider the law suits that are expected to be filed against the banks that fixed the Libor rate by those who were harmed by the fraud. Some are saying that as the fraud was known by the central banks and not reported, that the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England should be indicted for their participation in the fraud. What follows is not an apology for fraud. It merely describes consequences of holding those responsible accountable. Imagine the Federal reserve called before Congress or the Department of Justice to answer why it did not report on the fraud perpetrated by private banks, fraud that was supporting the Federal Reserves own rigging of interest rates (and the same in the UK.) The Federal reserve will reply: So, you want us to let interest rates go up? Are you prepared to come up with the money to bail out the FDIC-insured depositors of JPMorganChase, Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo, etc.? Are you prepared for US Treasury prices to collapse, wiping out bond funds and the remaining wealth in the US and driving up interest rates, making the interest rate on new federal debt necessary to finance the huge budget deficits impossible to pay, and finishing off what is left of the real estate market? Are you prepared to take responsibility, you who deregulated the financial system, for this economic armageddon? Obviously, the politicians will say NO, continue with the fraud. The harm to people from collapse far exceeds the harm in lost interest from fixing the low interest rates in order to forestall collapse. The Federal Reserve will say that we are doing our best to create profits for the banks that will permit us eventually to unwind the fraud and return to normal. Congress will see no better alternative to this. But the question remains: How long can the regime of negative interest rates continue while debt explodes upward? Currently, everyone in the US who counts and most who dont have an interest in holding off armageddon. No one wants to tip over the boat. If the banks are sued for damages and lack the money to pay, the Federal Reserve can create the money for the banks to pay. If the collapse of the system does not result from scandals, it will come from outside. The dollar is the world reserve currency. This means that the dollars exchange value is boosted, despite the dismal economic outlook in the US, by the fact that, as the currency for settling international accounts, there is international demand for the dollar. Country A settles its trade deficit with country B in dollars; country B settles its account with country C in dollars; and so on throughout the countries of the world. For whatever the reasonperhaps to curtail their accumulation of suspect dollars or to bring Washingtons power to an endthe BRICS countries, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, are agreeing to settle their trade between themselves in their own currencies, thus abandoning the use of the dollar. According to reports, China and Japan have reached agreement to settle their trade between themselves in their own currencies. The moves away from the dollar as the currency of international transactions means that the dollars exchange value will fall as the demand for dollars falls. Whereas the Federal Reserve can create dollars with which to purchase the Treasurys debt, thus preventing a fall in bond prices, the Federal Reserve cannot prop up the dollars exchange value by creating more dollars with which to purchase dollars. Dollars would have to be taken off the foreign exchange market by purchasing them with other currencies, but in order to have these currencies the US would have to be running a trade surplus, not a long-term trade deficit. In the short-run, the Federal Reserve could arrange currency swap agreements in which foreign central banks swap their currencies for dollars in order to supply the Federal Reserve with currencies with which to soak up dollars. However, only a limited number of swaps could be negotiated before foreign central banks understood that the dollars fall in value was not a temporary event that could be propped up with currency swaps. As the value of the dollar will fall as countries move away from its use as reserve currency, the values of dollar-denominated assets also will fall. The Federal Reserve, even with full cooperation from the banking system employing every fraud technique known, cannot prevent interest rates from rising on debt instruments denominated in a currency whose value is falling. Think about it this way. A person, fund, or institution owns bonds or any debt instruments carrying a negative rate of interest, but continues to hold the instruments because interest rates, despite the increase in debt, are creeping down, raising bond prices and producing capital gains in the bonds. What happens when the exchange value of the currency in which the debt instruments are denominated falls? Can the price of the bond stay high even though the value of the currency in which the bond is denominated falls? The drop in the exchange value of the currency hits the bond price in a second way. The price of imports rise, and this pushes up prices. The inflation measures will show higher inflation. How long will people hold debt instruments paying negative interest rates as inflation rises? Perhaps there are historical cases in which bond prices continue to rise indefinitely (or even hold firm) as inflation rises, but I have never heard of them. As the Federal Reserve can create money, theoretically the Federal Reserves prop-up schemes could continue until the Federal Reserve owns all dollar-denominated financial assets. To cover the holes in its own balance sheet, the Federal Reserve could just print more money. Some suspect that the Federal Reserve, in order to forestall a declining dollar and thus declining prices of dollar-denominated financial instruments, is behind the sales of naked shorts every time demand for physical bullion drives up the price of gold and silver. The short salespaper salescancel the impact on price of the increased demand for bullion. Some also believe that they see the Federal Reserves hand in the stock market. One day stocks fall 200 points. The next day stocks rise 200 points. This up and down pattern has been ongoing for a long time. One possible explanation is that as wary investors sell their equity holdings, the Federal Reserve, or the plunge protection team, steps in and buys. Just as the terrorist threat was used to destroy the laws that protect US civil liberty, the financial crisis has resulted in the Federal Reserve moving far outside its charter and normal operating behavior. To sum up, what has happened is that irresponsible and thoughtless in fact, ideological deregulation of the financial sector has caused a financial crisis that can only be managed by fraud. Civil damages might be paid, but to halt the fraud itself would mean the collapse of the financial system. Those in charge of the system would prefer the collapse to come from outside, such as from a collapse in the value of the dollar that could be blamed on foreigners, because an outside cause gives them something to blame other than themselves.

3	Gun Confiscation Begins in NY Via Dead Family MembersBrandon Turbeville This is not an over-hyped claim although this confiscation has yet to take the form of kicking down doors and SWAT teams. Yet. Still, rarely do such forms of tyranny come in one fell swoop with all the alarm bells ringing and the requisite flashing neon sign declaring a police state, apparently the only thing that might make Americans wake up and smell the fascism. In the absence of that presentation, however, Buffalo police are doing the next best thing tracking down gun owners, investigating their permits, and confiscating their guns if possible. Buffalo police are now checking the records of pistol permit holders to see if the holders are still living. If the permit holder is no longer living, the police will investigate what happened to their gun or guns. Under the guise of illegal weapons brought in to New York from Pennsylvania, police have informed reporters that their biggest problem in terms of guns used in crimes involved guns that had been stolen from private properties during burglaries. Of course, police made no mention of Fast and Furious or of the fact that police are unable (and also unwilling) to investigate and respond to violent crimes because their departments are too busy enforcing the drug war, writing tickets, shooting family pets, and manning DUI checkpoints. Instead, the Buffalo Polices response to the fact that burglaries are being committed is not to crack down on the burglars, but to eliminate the property the burglars want to take. Channel 2 News reported that Police feel that, in some cases, families are holding on to weapons, even after the person who bought them originally has died. [The horror!!!!!!] So now they are actually looking for those situations. Police Commissioner Daniel Derrenda stated that, We recently started a program where were cross referencing all the pistol permit holders with the death records, and were sending people out to collect the guns whenever possible so that they dont end up in the wrong hands. Because at times they lay out there and the family is not aware of them and they end up just out on the street. In other words, if a gun-owner dies, Commissar Derrenda will send out his storm troopers to confiscate the guns and the family members will be forced to turn them in. The plan is erroneously considered legal due to a longstanding NY state law that allegedly allows for this type of action. Some police agencies are only allowing 15 days after the death of a family member to sell or transfer a weapon to a dealer or other permit holder. Of course, there is no doubt the families will turn these guns in like good little slaves and that the Buffalo storm troopers will gladly enforce any law, no matter how trite and unconstitutional it may be, with impunity. There is also little doubt that the gun-owning community, human-rights groups, activists, and everyday citizens will remain silent during the entire ordeal. In fact, there is little doubt that those gun-owners who claimed that their guns would never be taken except from their cold dead hands will indeed have them taken while their hands are quite warm and alive. And the brave militias and patriots who showed up to Bunkerville? Will they show up in Buffalo? I wont hold my breath. Unfortunately, in situations where rights are truly being violated and where the real hammer of the police state begins to come down, all of the keyboard commandos and armchair warriors suddenly seem so far away. Instead of righteous indignation over taking our country back and bringing back the republic, we hear they wouldnt do that to me, they wouldnt take mine, and try that shit over here [insert requisite state]. Dont worry. They will try that shit here because you allowed that shit there. Its pretty simple really. The totalitarian tiptoe works perfectly. To begin with, such laws are merely an annoyance. The thought of registration, bans, or confiscation is so far away that any discussion of it is considered conspiracy theory. As populations acclimate to the gun laws in place, more laws are passed and populations adjust yet again. All the while, the government, foundations, NGOs, schools, and television propaganda are incessantly promoting the end of American gun culture. Eventually, after so many members of the population have become acclimated enough, gun confiscations actually do begin but only in areas that are traditionally hostile to gun rights. At this point, Americans sit back and talk tough. Sure, it happens in New York but doesnt every oppressive law pass in New York? One thing is for sure, it wouldnt happen in LouisianaOh, wait, it did.

3	Matt Taibbi on JPMorgan Chases Worst NightmareJames Hall Zero Hedge can always be depended upon to incisively sum up the issue In reality, there is nothing surprising in Matt Taibbis latest piece since returning to Rolling Stone from the Intercept, as it tells a story everyone is by now is all too familiar with: a former bank employee (in this case Alayne Fleischmann) who was a worker in a banks (in this case JPM) mortgage operations group, where she observed and engaged in what she describes as massive criminal securities fraud and who was fired after trying to bring the attention of those above her to said criminal activity. The story doesnt end there, and as Carmen Segarra already showed, when she revealed that Goldman runs the NY Fed, once Alayne was let go and tried to whistleblow on the house of Jimon from the outside, she found the that US Department of Justice headed by Eric Holder is just as, if not more, corrupt, and in his desperate attempt to prevent discovery and bring JPM et al to justice, he would stretch the statue of limitations on frauds committed during the crisis long enough to where nobody had any legal recourse any more, up to and including the US taxpayer. Well, that is a sober and tragic assessment. Even more heartbreaking is the statement made by Ms. Fleischmann as reported in Straight Line Logic. And now, with Holder about to leave office and his Justice Department reportedly wrapping up its final settlements, the state is effectively putting the finishing touches on what will amount to a sweeping, industrywide effort to bury the facts of a whole generation of Wall Street corruption. I could be sued into bankruptcy, she says. I could lose my license to practice law. I could lose everything. But if we dont start speaking up, then this really is all were going to get: the biggest financial cover-up in history. The only coherent response that regular citizens can exert, when dealing with the mega financial houses, is to avoid entanglements whenever possible. What good is it to establish accounts, whether as loans, savings or investments, when the rules of survival are stacked against main street customers? Firms like JP Morgan or Goldman are not terrified by fines because they are protected by the Too Big To Fail culture. Bailouts are a way of life and infusion of easy money into the liquidity flow of balance sheets employs the most creative accounting techniques to cover up accurate net worth. The threat of principals actually doing jail time is so remote that the probability is far greater that the next Secretary of the Treasury will come from their ranks. This plight produces a true dilemma of confidence. In this environment only brave souls dare become a whistleblower. Public support for such individuals like Fleischmann and Segarra is faint because neither are public persons, readily recognized by most people. This lack of notoriety as individuals is far less important than the criminal activity both are documenting. However, in a media driven and social networking society, the personality of celebrity far outpaces the substance of the offenses. Matt Taibbis star persona, deserved or manufactured, illustrates that getting attention through the clutter and noise of the sound bites is possible. For an unknown person, getting your 15 minutes of fame requires even more creative strategies, to expose the basic purpose in the news revelations. The dying mainstream presstitutes will not confront the intrinsic nature of the abuses because their own financial futures depend upon Wall Street support. Yet, struggling Middle America foolishly relies upon their reporting and advice in most financial matters. JPMorgan Chases Worst Nightmare fundamentally is the unwinding of the derivative debt black hole of their making. The essential risk of a collapse and implosion of the financial manipulated markets only grows because no effort or willingness exists to purge the system of crooked companies, practices or individuals. The culture of corruption survives because the pattern of exposing and demanding justice is so brutally punished. How can meaningful accountability come from internal reform, when the price of disclosure is the end of your professional endeavors and even your livelihood? Arguments, data and evidence of generational embedded fraud have been made by some of the most intuitive minds on finance and economics. Nonetheless, the degeneracy accelerates. The wolves of Wall Street target their prey when they lobby regulators to allow for more exotic financial products that are designed to fleece the public and place the entire monetary system in greater jeopardy. selfnewss rally during elections cycles to pressure the establishment. The Occupy Wall Street movement, misguided on potential solutions, did muster awareness with media exposure. However, most taxpayers do not exert sufficient outrage about the selling out of their financial security. Stopping massive criminal securities fraud is a true national security requirement. Internet revelations can only expose the latest schemes. As stated in the essay, Repeal of Glass-Steagall and the Too Big To Fail Culture, is a major reason for the current unsustainable breakdown in trust and lack of liability consequences for financial institutions. Take the opportunity of the Alayne Fleischmann disclosures to demand that your newly elected representatives exert the courage to advance a national debate on a major overhaul of the ground rules for Wall Street. While the prospects are slim that any constructive and critical legislation will come out of the new Congress, public indignation needs to grow and intensify. The battle for economic viability and preservation of capital is being lost for ordinary citizens. An angry constituency is necessary to confront the outrageous abuses that pass as normal conduct. The sacrifices of Alayne Fleischmann and Carmen Segarra need not be in vain. Mobilize for action; boycott the big banks and security fraudsters.

1	Continuing a decades-long pattern of displacement, Carl and Barb Kulick channeled their marital frustrations through their home's Honeywell T87 manual-control thermostat Monday. The medium through which their mutual resentment is channeled. Carl and Barb Kulick. 'You should have heard Carl scream when he saw I turned the heat on today,' said the understimulated, affection-starved Barb, 62. 'It was chilly, and our grandson Cory was over. There's no reason for a 4-year-old boy to feel like he's freezing to death, is there? I didn't think so, but apparently, somebody around here thinks there is.' To anyone familiar with Carl's long-standing rule that the Kulick thermostat stay securely in the 'off' position until November, Barb's use of it could be interpreted as an act of defiance. 'There's no need to turn it on yet,' said Carl, 64, who for 20 years has strongly suspected that his wife had an affair with neighbor Phil Tewksbury in 1981. 'It's a goddamn waste of money. That woman acts like we're made of money.' On numerous occasions, Barb has pointed out the illogic of tying thermostat use to a date rather than temperature. Carl, however, stands firmly by his Nov. 1 start date. As the family's sole breadwinner, working long hours at a cement-supply company, Carl said it is his right to make the rules and his duty to protect the family from Barb's 'dingbat notions.' 'If I didn't put my foot down, Barb would have that thing turned up to 100 all the time,' Carl said. 'She'd have the heat on in the middle of summer and a fan blowing it out the window.' Barb's having 'no concept of the value of the dollar' is just one of Carl's many dissatisfactions with his wife. He also feels she is not as bright as him, has annoying friends, and lacks personal ambition. He has also always resented her failure to bear him a son, having given birth to four girls. Barb has complaints about Carl, as well, including his emotional inaccessibility, his refusal to include her in major household decisions, and his inability to 'let loose and have fun.' 'I am married to a big bump on a log,' Barb said. 'Other women go out dancing and get flowers. I don't even get a present on our anniversary unless I buy something for the both of us.' The thermostat is ground zero for a battle of wills all winter, with Barb silently turning the thermostat up and Carl yelling loudly as he turns it down and commands her not to 'futz with it.' 'I tell Barb to turn the thermostat down to 63 before she leaves the house, and she can't even remember that one thing,' Carl said. 'She says she forgets. That's a load of bull puckey, she forgets.' According to the couple's now-grown children, it was always easy to tell when their parents weren't getting along. 'As kids, we could tell something was up whenever ice started forming on the windows,' said Deborah Wickson, 37, the couple's eldest daughter. 'Mom was always edging the thermostat up half a degree at a time. Then, Dad would come in and do the same thing in reverse. He'd even get up in the middle of the night just to double-check that he'd turned it down before going to bed.' It seems unlikely that the thermostat war will end anytime soon. In fact, the situation seems to be getting worse. 'Do you know how much the price of water has gone up in the last few years?' Carl asked. 'You should see the bill. How we use so much hot water in this house, I'll never know.' With the kids gone and the house paid for, Barb said that she and Carl can afford life's little luxuries. 'I worked hard all my life, too, raising the kids. Not that Carl would notice,' Barb said. 'Now, I think it's time to enjoy ourselves a little bitbuy some new curtains, turn the heat up, even leave the Christmas lights on overnight instead of turning them out after the news.' While she said she would never intentionally waste energy, Barb admitted she is 'forgetful sometimes' when it comes to conserving resources. 'Last winter, I baked some pies and put them out to cool on top of the deep freeze,' Barb said. 'Well, I must have left the oven on with nothing in it, because when Carl got home from work and found it, he came barreling down to the basement where I was doing laundry.' 'His face was as red as a tomato and, boy, was he cursing up a storm,' added Barb, holding back a smile.

Now, Melania is letting it be known that she intends to continue looking greatwith our without their help. According to reports from Melanias makeup artist Nicole Bryl, the First Lady will introduce a glam room to the White House. There will absolutely be a room designated for hair, makeup and wardrobe, Bryl told Stylish. Melania wants a room with the most perfect lighting scenario, which will make our jobs as a creative team that much more efficient, since great lighting can make or break any look. Bryl also explained that each makeup session will take about one hour and 15 minutes of uninterrupted focus. If you want the look to be flawless and have it last [throughout the day], you do have to take a little extra time to make that happen. There will be a meeting with the entire creative team to discuss the look for each given event for that day, as there will be several. Melania will absolutely let us know what she envisions for herself, since she always has such a strong and secure idea of how she likes things. It makes it that much easier for the rest of us to team together and execute her vision, she said. I look forward to seeing what she has decided to wear. Its always a treat to be a part of her impeccable beauty creation, Bryl concluded. What do you think? Will Melania be the elegant first lady this country needs? 
1	In a press conference held this morning on the White House lawn, President Bush formally asked the assembled press corps and members of his own administration if, in light of today's election, he could stop being the president now. 'So it's over, right? Can I stop being president now?' Bush said after striding to the podium in a Texas Rangers cap and flannel shirt, carrying a fully packed suitcase. 'Let's just say I'm done as of now. Presidency over.' When informed by Washington Post reporter David Broder that his presidency would continue through early January, Bush stared at him quizzically, sighed, and shuffled silently back into the White House. 
1	In a stirring display of his commitment to the institution he pledged his life to 34 years ago, Associate Justice John Paul Stevens renewed his vows to the U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday. Entering the courtroom in a long flowing robe, Stevens walked down the aisle toward a misty-eyed Chief Justice John Roberts, who stood waiting to re-administer the oath. 'I, John Paul Stevens, do solemnly swear to faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me, till death do I part,' declared a radiant Stevens. 'I only wish [late President] Gerald [Ford] could have been here to give me away again.' The ceremony was followed by a modest but elegant reception at the Kennedy Center, where Roberts and the 89-year-old Stevens shared the honorary first dance. 
2	Radicals Plan To Attack Carrie Underwood Backfires In Their Faces Country star Carrie Underwood has been simultaneously facing criticism and breaking records with the release of her pro-Christianity single entitle Something in the Water. With nearly 124,000 digital sales of the song, the controversial anthem has sold more than any other Underwood song. In its first week of release also set a record for the highest sales by any American Idol winner. She also had the best opening week of any female country artist in 2014. In fact, the song has already been added to nearly 144 station playlists. Apparently, the Christian theme song ending in a rendition of Amazing Grace may be too much for the atheist population, but Americans are accepting the songs with open arms. Underwoods record officially releases on December 9th. The release is expected to reach record-breaking sales as well. What do you think? Do you support Carrie Underwood? 
1	An extramarital affair between local claims adjuster Ken Hubrin and cocktail waitress Teri Belasco came to an abrupt end Monday when Hubrin informed his mistress that he had been cheating on her with coffee-shop manager Amanda Strauss. Ken and Nancy Hubrin on their June 1993 wedding day. 'Don't get me wrong, Teri is a remarkable woman,' said Hubrin, whose wife of nine years, Nancy Hubrin, is unaware of either affair. 'We had some great times during our eight months together. But sometimes, the spark goes out of a relationship, and you don't even realize it until you meet someone who truly thrills you. For me, that person was Amanda.' According to Hubrin, he and Belasco seemed to have the perfect adulterous relationship, until he met Strauss. 'Things were very comfortable between Teri and me. Maybe too comfortable,' Hubrin said. 'We'd meet at the Days Inn out by the highway every Wednesday while Nancy was at her aerobics class. We'd get together at her place on Mondays during my lunch break because that was her day off. Sometimes, on Saturdays, I'd tell Nancy I was going jogging with my friend Henry, then go to Teri's apartment for a quickie. We had a nice little routine, but somewhere along the way, our infidelity had gone stale. That became painfully obvious once I met Amanda.' Hubrin said he met Strauss on May 10 after Belasco broke a secret rendezvous with him due to illness. 'When Teri canceled on me, I was pretty disappointed,' Hubrin said. 'I didn't want to just mope around in front of my wife, so instead of going home, I went to a coffee shop. This beautiful woman was working the counter alone, and we got to talking. She told me her name was Amanda. Next thing you know, it's nearly 11 p.m., and the place is closing. Just before I left, on a crazy whim I said, 'What are you doing Wednesday?' That's how it started.' Mistress Teri Belasco, whom Hubrin cheated on with Amanda Strauss (bottom). Prior to his first date with Strauss, Hubrin lied to Belasco about his plans for the evening. 'I told Teri I had to go to dinner with Nancy and some old college friends,' Hubrin said. 'I think she knew something was up. I felt really awful, deceiving her like that, but I had a feeling I would've missed out on a really special affair if I didn't give Amanda a chance.' According to Hubrin, halfway though his date with Strauss, he could 'already tell that she was the girl on the side for me.' 'We went to this little out-of-the-way place for drinks and just talked and talked until I had to race home before Nancy suspected something,' Hubrin said. 'The whole time, I kept thinking, 'She is amazing.' I told her about my wife, but she'd already deduced that I was married from the ring mark on my finger. The first few months I was seeing Teri, she had no idea I was married. So, obviously, Amanda has a little more going on upstairs, which I always find attractive in a mistress.' Added Hubrin: 'Still, I didn't tell Amanda about Teri, because I didn't want her to think I was some three-timing creep.' Hubrin said Belasco did not take the breakup well. 'When I told Teri about Amanda, she screamed, 'How could you do this to me and Nancy?'' Hubrin said. 'Then she said, 'Don't you love me?' I said I did and still do, but that I've never met anyone quite like Amanda. Teri is a smart, beautiful woman, and I wish her only the best. I know that somewhere out there is a married man who's going to make her a very happy mistress, but I just don't think I'm that married man.' Asked about his future plans with Strauss, Hubrin was candid. 'This early in an extramarital affair, it's hard to tell,' Hubrin said. 'I'm willing to devote whatever free time I can to Amanda for the foreseeable future, provided things continue going smoothly and she can keep her mouth shut.' 
2	Beauty Queen Comes Forward With MASSIVE Accusation Of Trump... This Could Change Everything According to recent reports, a former Miss Venezuela and Miss Universe has gone public with accusations about Donald Trumpand it could very well hurt his campaign with female voters. Alicia Machado was 19 years old when she won Miss Universe in 1996, shortly after Trump took over the pageant. After taking the crown, she struggled with her weight, gaining 40 pounds. She claims that Trump bullied her relentlessly at that time, calling her Miss Piggy and an eating machine. She also claims Trump invited reporters from various media outlets to come watch her workout. She weighed 118 pounds or 117 pounds and she went to 160 or 170, Trump said at the time. So this is somebody that likes to eat. Trump was then asked if he would divorce his then-wife Marla Maples if she quickly gained weight. Well, Id probably do the same thing with her, he commented. Id say start working out. No, I wouldnt. Still a very interesting question. Machado also alleges that Trump nicknamed her Miss Housekeeping because of her heavy Spanish accent. For sure he is not a nice person, she commented. He is a bully. He cant be president. What do you think? Do you believe Machados claims or is she just looking for time in the spotlight? 
2	Sean Hannity Rips Megyn Kelly A New One So Badly She May Never Recover [WATCH] For some time now, Fox News reporter Megyn Kelly has been soaking in all the attention shes receiving for speaking out against Donald Trump. Its sickening to think of all the publicity Kelly has received, beginning with her biased debate moderating. After her first altercation with Trump, The Kelly File saw a jump in ratings. That boost didnt last long. When viewers realized just what Kelly was up to, they were outraged. And its only getting worse. Kelly is starting to sound more and more like Rachel Maddow. According to the latest ratings, The Kelly File is now officially losing to Hannity with Sean Hannity. According to a media analysis of the ratings, Hannity was the most-watched cable news program among 25 to 54-year-olds in September. This is the first time the show won a month since it was bumped to the 10 p.m. slot in 2013. The show one by a huge margin too, beating The Kelly file by roughly 22,000 viewers a night. What do you think? Is Kelly ruining her career? 
2	Boston Bombers Were Refugees Seeking Safety And Obama Wants 10,000 More Of Them According to recent reports, Obama is attempting to import 10,000 Syrian refuges into America. Of course, that number will be made up primarily of Muslim men. Of course, many fear that few of these men will actually be innocent refugees. Lets not forget the facts below: The two men responsible for the Boston Marathon bombing were refugees. With their baseball hats and sauntering gaits, they appeared to friends and neighbors like ordinary American boys, the Washington post reporters. But the Boston bombing suspects were refugees from another worldthe blood, rubble and dirty wars of the Russian Caucasus. The Syrian operative has claimed that more than 4,000 ISIS gunmen have already been smuggled into Western nations and are now hiding among refugees. What do you think? Is this just another devastating move by President Obama? 
2	HAPPENING NOW: Anonymous Exposes ISIS Strategies To Attack THESE 7 Cities Today... One Is In America According to the hacktivist group Anonymous, information has been uncovered about the ISIS attacks in Paris. It has also revealed insight into the United States, Indonesia, Italy and Lebanonall set for Sunday. OpParisIntel recently released a statement claiming that there are imminent attacks headed for the French capital. This comes shortly after Paris was attacked, and more than a hundred citizens were killed. Anonymous claims that ISIS is planning an assault at the WWE Survivor Series event set to take place in Atlanta on Sunday. The goal is to make sure the whole world, or at least the people going to these events, know that there have been threats and that there is possibility of an attack to happen, the organization wrote. Another goal is to make sure Daesh knows that the world knows and cancels the attacks, which will disorientate them for a while. Anonymous listed out the following targets: Cigales Electroniques with Vocodecks, RE-Play Rawtor at Le Bizen (Paris) When authorities do not take action, Anonymous does, the group claimed. What do you think? Is this a threat we should be taking very seriously? 
2	New Bible Translation Omits Father, Son, Holy Spirit, And Messiah Because It Offends Muslims According to recent reports, a group of Muslims have started to protest the Bible, demanding that the word of God be altered to fit their political agenda. First, Wycliffe, and SIL have produced Stories of the Prophets, an Arabic Bible that uses an Arabic equivalent of Lord instead of Father and Messiah in the place of Son. Further, the translation removes Father and replaces it with Allah. Christian missionaries have started protesting the translations, in an attempt to stop the publications of Modified Bibles. An example of the translation is demonstrated through Matthew 28:19, which now reads Cleanse them by water in the name of Allah, his Messiah and his Holy Spirit. Originally, the passage read baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. What do you think of the new translation? Should the Bible be kept as it is?

There, they would test the ability of an energy-efficient machine to hurl tiny seawater droplets into a graceful trajectory the first step of a research project to boost the brightness of clouds to reflect rays of sunlight back into space. [] We are not interested in deploying it unless its necessary. But wed like to have something available, so we know what works and what doesnt work. Uh huh. So they just started for the first time ever? Right In truth, this cloud brightening experiment is being launched just months after several major meetings on geoengineering in the fall of 2014 and early months of 2015, which discussed moving geoengineering efforts out of the lab and into the open. The Economist wrote in Dec 2014: In other words, this is all according to the script, not reality. Closer to reality, the evidence for chemtrails, and the uninvited use of geoengineering to modify cloud cover, remains hotly debated and very controversial, but continually observed and reported all across the world. We dont have proper disclosure about what exactly has been going on, but we werent born yesterday either. Citizen journalists remain our best chance of pressuring those working on these secretive projects to admit what has been taking place, and what, if anything, the ramifications may be for human health and the environment.

3	Whats Your Daily Value of Glyphosate?Catherine J. Frompovich It is my understanding that no ones figured out how much glyphosate we consume on a daily basis as yet. Why should we know how much glyphosate we are ingesting? Well, on March 20, 2015 the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) produced a monograph, Evaluation of five organophosphate insecticides and herbicides, wherein as a result of IARCs research, the herbicide glyphosate [the major component in Monsantos Roundup] has been classified as probably carcinogenic to humans (Group A). According to IARCs monograph, And, Question: So, how does glyphosate get into both human and animal diets? Answer: As residues remaining on genetically modified food crops, then eaten as fresh food or prepared packaged foods, which typically have many other processing ingredients added that contain additional glyphosate residues from such staples as soy, corn, sugar beets, or canola oil. Those four crops, in some form, are ubiquitous in packaged foods. They are used for all sorts of production reasons from seasonings to taste enhancers to being components of food processing chemicals, additives and/or preservatives. Just to give readers an idea of some other chemicals used in the manufacture of processed foods, Ive included the Encyclopaedia Britannicas Food Additives/Food Processing [1] in the Reference section at the end. Those chemicals add to, and compound, the total chemical loads found in processed food. Genetically modified or genetically engineered food crops have the ability to withstand excessive applications of the herbicide Roundup, especially since Monsantos Roundup Ready GMO seeds allow crops to resist glyphosate, the toxic ingredient in Roundup, which is sprayed to kill weeds during growing season, but also sprayed on some cereal/grain/legume crops [wheat, feed barley, oats, canola, flax, peas, lentils, dry beans, and soy] at the end of their growing season, and before harvest, to act as a desiccant. [2, 8] Keith Lewis, a wheat farmer, has this to say about preharvest glyphosate spraying: So, now you can understand the importance of purchasing organically-grown cereals, vegetables, grains, and produceand all food in general. Animals that are sources of food meats, dairy products, and eggs are fed GMO grains and alfalfa, plus antibiotics, hormones, and growth enhancer chemicals in their feed, some of which ends up in you. Readers may want to check out organic animal feeds here. However, in India, GMO crops have become an enormous agricultural problem, since Indian Farmers are Committing Suicide because of Monsantos costly GMO crops. The London Daily Mail reported, According to Global Research, American Farmers Abandoning Genetically Modified Seeds: Non-GMO Crops are more Productive and Profitable, since farmers realize they can get more money for conventionally-grown corn than for GMO corn! Furthermore, herbicide use has increased 26 percent between 2001 and 2010 due to the spread of herbicide-resistant weeds. Also, theres real concern that herbicides are killing off pollinator insects, especially bees. Genetic engineering agriculture also reduces the amount of bee forage plants. Heres an interesting site about bees and GMOs. So, how much glyphosate is sprayed on crop acreage? Well, Understanding Glyphosate to Increase Performance, Purdue Knowledge to Go (1-888-EXT-INFO) provides some information. Probably the exact glyphosate use is difficult to define since there are numerous parameters and measures involved, e.g., desired volume and the percentages of glyphosate [1/2%, 1%, 1 %, 2%, 5%, and 10%], depending upon the number of gallons of water used as the carrier/spray. According to Monsantos 2013 Annual Report, it had net sales totaling $14,861Million with net sales for GMO seeds and Genomics Segment coming in at $10,340Milllion. That Annual Report ended with this quotation, The first essential component of social justice is adequate food for all mankind. Adequate? Shouldnt consumers expect healthful, nutritious, and not super-saturated with chemicals? Basically, there are ten companies [5] that control the worlds seed supply. They include: Probably, savvy consumers already know that many of the organic brands are owned by big food processors, who want to get in on the hot organic food market and sales. Heres who owns the organic brands: If readers go to the Cornucopia website, then double click on the above chart thats there, it should increase in clarity and readability. The last issue Id like to fly by readers is this: Do you believe the advertising spin about glyphosate that its harmless? Well, there is some concern that glyphosate and gluten intolerance are associated. Martin Michener, PhD, explains the relationship in Gluten Intolerance and the Herbicide Glyphosate: A National Epidemic. Several medical doctors have weighed in on the association with glyphosate and celiac disease [9], poor gastrointestinal health [10], and gastroparesis [11]. Additionally, I think a similar connection can be made regarding canola oil, since many people I know experience gastrointestinal distress after eating that highly-touted oil. The Cornucopia Institutes Gut-Wrenching: New Studies Reveal the Insidious Effects of Glyphosate is something every person ought to read and seriously consider, I think. And, believe it or not, but glyphosate has been found in human urine! Wouldnt it be ironic, though, if some federal health/food agency were to establish a Daily Value for glyphosate, since its apparently being used as if it were compost? However and unbelievably, in 2013, the U.S. EPA increased the allowable limits of glyphosate in food crops from 200 ppm to 6,000 ppma 30-fold increase from its original allowable limits! [6] What does that tell you? Whats in your food? Do you really want to know?

2	Michael Moore Makes Another Nasty Comment About American Snipers, Youll Be Furious Director Michael Moore raised eyebrows last week when he posted a controversial tweet calling all snipers cowards. Now, it appears the rant he started on Twitter is moving over to Facebook. Moore recently posted the falling sentiment to his page: Most of us were taught the story of Jesse James and that the scoundrel wasnt James (who was a criminal who killed people) but rather the sniper who shot him in the back. I think most Americans dont think snipers are heroes. Hopefully not on this weekend when we remember that man in Memphis, Tennessee, who was killed by a snipers bullet. Yes, you heard that right. Michael Moore decided to spend MLK days comparing American hero Chris Kyle to the man that shot Martin Luther King. What do you think of Moores comments? 
2	PICTURE: Israeli Citizens Erect Massive Sign Destroying Obama, His Response Is Feeble Lately, President Obama has been doing very little to rebuild the United States relationship with Israel, and criticizing them for taking action to end the attacks from the Hamas isnt helping things. The problem started when Obama called for restraint. He continued on to warn about ground operations in Gaza, and even decided to criticize the countrys leadership. Most recently, the president decided to speak out against Israel at the U.N. Now, the people of Israel have decided to send a message loud and clear to President Obama, letting him know just what they think about their involvement. CNN host Jake Tapper tweeted a picture of a banner, which was hung outside of either a residence or business, and questions the president about his intentions in calling for a ceasefire. The country makes a great pointthey are not going to just sit back and watch their nation be bombed. The sign also asks the president to choose a side in the matter, instead of attempting to walk the line and not really help either side. What do you think? Is it time for Obama to put his support officially behind Israel? 
1	In one of nature's most stirring and mysterious rituals, human male Michael Forrester journeyed back to his place of birth Monday in order to pair off, reproduce, and ensure the propagation of his species. The 670-mile-long voyage, one almost as old as time itself, began late last week. According to sources, the adult male left his studio apartment in downtown San Francisco andovercoming a series of challenging obstaclesreturned to Twin Falls, ID, the town where he himself was spawned 28 years ago. Michael Forrester, Human Male 'Each year thousands of men are drawn back, as if by instinct alone, to their native breeding grounds,' said Jeremy Weinblatt, a professor of social sciences at Reed College in Portland, OR. 'Defying all odds, these astounding creatures are able to find the exact location of their hometown, often without the use of driving directions, a roadside map, or pulling over at a gas station to ask for assistance.' With his readiness to mate signaled by a loss of hair around the crown and a swelling of the abdomen, Forrester set out on his arduous trek early Thursday morning. As he left the coast and traveled inland, the sexually mature male navigated his way through a complex system of interconnected streets onto an adjoining highway headed north. Throughout the first leg of his journey, the nearly 200-pound man reportedly sustained his strength by foraging on any available foodstuffs, including a McDonald's cheeseburger and a 10-piece container of chicken nuggets. Abandoning both work and school to make this final trip back to his ancestral home, Forresterlike his father, grandfather, and older cousin Brian before himdeftly avoided the snare of roadside attractions to reach Twin Falls before summer's end. Even seemingly insurmountable hurdles, such as the lack of 'decent radio stations' to help pass the time, a deflated back tire, and an array of confusing highway signs, were no match for the virile human. His biological desire to mate was stronger now than ever. 'Human males are perhaps the most resilient and single-minded of all organisms on the planet,' said Dr. David Wright, a biologist and professor at Kent State University in Kent, OH. 'No distance is too great, no barrier too high when it comes to passing on their genetic makeup. They always find a way to persevere.' Added Wright, 'Just ask my wife.' As the adult male entered the last leg of his incredible voyage, hundreds of human femalesmany of whom had spent their entire lives anticipating this very courtshiphad already begun to make the necessary preparations back home. Displaying exotic markings on their lower back, and a deep shade of red around the oral cavity, the females were also observed to secrete an alluring, lavender-scented musk to encourage the coupling. Along with dozens of other excited males, Forrester reached the entrance of Twin Falls late Monday night. Though exhausted by his perilous journey, the 28-year-old was spurred onward by the sight of several ovulating women who had gathered along the fringes of town. Locating a pleasing specimen at a nearby watering hole, Forrester reportedly gauged the width of her hips, the sheen and luster of her hair, and how much alcohol she had already consumed before choosing his partner for procreation. Once initial contact was made and their shared interest in music discussed, the two humans were ready to reproduce. A passionate and sensual dance, the human mating ritual is performed thousands of times each year, from the rolling hills of California to the lowly motel rooms of New York state. According to experts, Forrester initiated the seductive dance by rapidly shedding his outer coverings, jutting his tongue out in a broad, wagging motion, and maneuvering his sweat-covered midsection above that of the human female. After emitting a series of aural signals, including half a dozen forceful grunts, the red-faced male reportedly discharged a stringy and translucent fluid, thereby fertilizing his partner's reproductive tract. 'It's beautiful,' said one nearby observer who wished to remain anonymous. 'I never tire of watching these majestic creatures breed.' Over the course of the next few months, the fertilized female will ready herself for the eventual birth of her offspring. After procuring a larger, more comfortable nest, she will store several layers of fat to help speed up incubation and, in order to secure the constant attention of her mate, will alternate between crying and laughing until the moment of delivery. The inseminated female will also shriek several times a day about how her partner's family should pay for the upcoming wedding in full, though the biological purpose behind this ritual is unknown. His genetic lineage now ensured, Forrester starts a new and incredible journey of his own. The adult male, who traveled hundreds of miles just weeks before, begins to die on the inside. Slowly and surely, until he is nothing more than a brittle huskone filled with resentment, regret, and a longing for the time before he married the first woman who came along. But then, that's nature's way. 
2	Walmart Closes 150 U.S. Stores Leaving Thousands Of Workers Displaced President Obama recently claimed that our economy is growing stronger, but news like this tells a very different story. According to reports, Walmart just made an announcement that they intend to close 269 of their storesmore than half of which are in the United States. A significant portion of the stores are also located in Brazil. The closings are set to begin this month. The company, which employees a huge number of Americans, promises that they will be working to relocate workers to nearby Walmarts. The company also claims that more than 95% of the Walmarts being closed are within 10 miles of another store. Actively managing our portfolio of assets is essential to maintaining a healthy business, McMillon said in a statement. Closing stores is never an easy decision. But it is necessary to keep the company strong and positioned for the future. What do you think of the announcement? Will this cause a spike in unemployment rates? 
1	With last week's announcement that it will award Halliburton a lucrative contract to put out Iraqi oil-well fires after the war, the U.S. government has officially stopped trying to hide its favoritism toward the Houston-based company. 'When we first started cutting Halliburton sweetheart deals, we'd worry about how it would look, with Dick Cheney being their former CEO and all,' White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said. 'Somewhere along the line, though, we just kind of said, 'Ah, fuck it.'' Fleischer added that Halliburton has something 'real juicy' coming its way when the U.S. invades Iran in July 2004. 
2	Tim Tebow Just Received Devastating News... He Needs Your Support This is symbolic of where our country has gone, people. According to recent reports former Miss USA Olivia Culpo recently broke up with football player Tim Tebow. Why? Because he wouldnt have premarital sex with her. She had to break up with him because she just couldnt handle it, one source told the Daily News. He still hits her up, but she just cant deal with the sex thing. Hes pretty adamant about it, I guess. Tebow is known for his Christian values, and this is proof that hes walking the talk. Although its terrible that hes going through this, we applaud him for standing behind his beliefs. What do you think? Do you support Tim Tebow? 
2	BREAKING: Obama Announces Immediate Enforcement Of A Gag Order On All Americans... As President Barack Obamas time in the White house is counting down, it seems that both he and his administration are intent on limiting Americans rights any way they can. Now, hes attempting to limit our constitutional right to the freedom of speech. According to reports, the administration is in the process of revising the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR). The State Department is attempting to limit our ability to discuss firearms online by claiming that website communications can be seen by any individual in any country. Therefore, the information posted on the web will be considered under the regulations of ITAR. So what does that mean? Essentially, any Internet communication about any aspect of firearms will need government approval before being posted. Those who violate this law can face up to 20 years in prison and charges of up to $1 million. Whats more: each website is considered a separate violation. For gun manufacturers and retailers selling firearms, this means limited business on the Internet without government permission. For gun enthusiasts or those looking to purchase a firearm to exercise their second amendment rights, it means no researching guns beyond government-approved content. What do you think of the new restrictions? Is the administration walking a dangerous line when it comes to limiting our freedom? 
2	They Told Him To Take Down His American Flag, So He Did THIS Instead When this Florida man felt his freedom of expression was being limited by local code enforcement officials, he decided to take matters into his own hands. He decided to express his love for America by painting his house like the American flag. Brent Greer was upset when city code enforcement officers inspected his home after receiving an anonymous complaint that a 15-foot-tall Christmas tree on his front porch had blown over. When the code enforcement officer came to inspect, Greer told him that his wife had gladly taken down the tree. Still, the officer went on to cite Greer for a list of violations. He was penalized for a lack of screens on several windows, peeling house paint, yard, debris, and some rotted and loose wood. Its just total government abuse, Greer told reporters. This is still America. Now, Greer is being forced to attend a code enforcement hearing. He could be fined up to $250 a day. Greer runs a landscaping business, and will be the first to admit that his more than century-old home is not in perfect condition. He made some of the corrections required but is disputing other parts of the citation. There are no safety issues at my house, Greer continued. None. Zero. City officials could not be reached for comment on the issue. The local newspaper described the house as one of the few old residences along the Manatee River built before a boom in multi-million homes. Fortunately, Greer has received overwhelming support from the community after painting their house in red, white and blue, with stars. Its in compliance, he commented. 
2	Muslims Everywhere Are Furious After Putin Slams Turkey And Mocks Allah In the war against ISIS, Russian President Vladimir Putin has made it clear that he is ready to fight. Hes clearly not worried about being politically correct either. In a recent state of the union address to his country, he made several slights against Turkey and the Islamic god Allah. Only Allah knows why they did it, Putin commented. And I guess Allah decided to punish the ruling clique in Turkey by stripping it of its sanity. The words were a response to Turkeys decision to take down a Russian plane. Every since the incident took place, the two countries have been at odds, and the tension is palpable. We are not planning to and will not engage in saber-rattling, Putin continued. But if someone thinks that he can commit a foul war crime, the murder of our people, and just get away with some tomatoes or limits in construction and other spheres, then he is deeply mistaken. What do you think? Do you support Putin or is he taking things too far? 
1	Hoping to boost profits by cutting into the valuable market share currently occupied by Apple's popular iPhone 4S, top American rice manufacturer Uncle Bens announced plans Tuesday to release its first-ever smartphone. Uncle Ben's, a company traditionally known for producing white, whole-grain brown, and flavored rices, confirmed a Nov. 23 launch date for its new 'Basmati' phone, a 4G-capable device expected to serve as the brands flagship product as the company makes its entry into the lucrative mobile technology sector. 'Whether it's instant rice, country-style rice, boil-in-a-bag rice, or smartphones, Uncle Bens has always been committed to innovation,' a statement from the company read in part. 'In 1942, we introduced the world to easy-to-cook parboiled rice. Today, we wish to introduce you to a new vision, one in which people can cook up some Uncle Ben's on the stove and, at the same time, be on their Basmati browsing our marketplace for some new apps and texting their friends with our Instant Rice Messenger.' 'Our customer base is increasingly young, connected, and on the go,' the statement continued, 'and we're uniquely positioned to become the only company in America to simultaneously offer international phone service, Internet access, GPS, broccoli rice au gratin, and MP3 downloads of top recording artists.' Traditionally, the Uncle Bens company has been best known for manufacturing rice. As first reported by TechCrunch and the USA Rice Council, the Basmati will feature a 5.3-inch display with a density of 285 pixels per inch, a dual-core 1.5 gigahertz processor, and two gigabytes of RAM, as well as a 'robust set of entertainment features' that includes a rear-mounted 8-megapixel autofocus camera, dozens of preloaded stir-fry recipes, and Adobe Flash support. In addition, the Basmati will run on Uncle Bens proprietary Long-Grain Operating System, a platform designed to optimize graphics performance and speed using processes that, according to technical specifications released by the rice producer, 'are entirely gluten-free.' 'Uncle Ben's is a name Americans already know and trust,' said company president Vincent Howell, adding that he hopes the Basmati will become the iPhones foremost competitor within three years. 'When they see that face smiling up at them, they'll know they picked the right phone. It's time for us to build on Uncle Ben's success, and that means making a run at Apple. Amazon, Googlethey're all in the game here, and if we don't get on this, we'll be left behind. Right now those guys are eating our lunch. 'We have the brand recognition,' the president of the rice company added. 'So let's capitalize on it with this smartphone.' Many at the company expressed a like-minded confidence in the project, with one board member enthusiastically saying, I think people are going to like an Uncle Bens phone even if they dont like rice all that much. Executives noted that their marketplace was rapidly changing, and whether they liked it or not, they would have to change with it. 'Rice just isn't going to cut it anymore,' said Tim Snyder, Uncle Ben's vice president of marketing. 'If we don't get a smartphone on the market soon, well have nothing to offer the millions of consumers out there who are eager to shell out hundreds of dollars for the latest high-tech gadget, but wholet's face itaren't nearly that enthusiastic about rice.' Reached for comment, experts in the rice and tech industries questioned the companys strategy, noting that besides Apple and Google, Uncle Ben's will face stiff competition from Hamburger Helper, which unveiled its much-hyped 'Helping Hand' smartphone earlier this year. 
2	Liberal Artist Creates F*ck Chris Kyle TAmerican Sniper quickly became a box office hit, popular with patriots for telling the heroic story of Chris Kyle. The film ended up grossing over $500 million. Not everyone welcomed the story with open arms, however. Liberals throughout the country were outraged that a sniper could be portrayed as an American hero. Others claimed that the film was racist. One liberal who was clearly enraged by the film was an artist named Abby Martin. After watching the film, she designed an offensive T-shirt reading F*** Chris Kyle. The message is hardly a subtle one, and while one would expect it to cause national outrage, some liberals are accepting the disrespectful T-shirt and applauding Martin for her designs. Never mind that it completely disrespects a veteran who risked his life to protect our country. What do you think? Should Martin be put out of business for disrespecting soldiers this way? 
3	Food Allergies: Whats To Eat? Part 2Catherine J. Frompovich Perhaps it would be important to realize that allergic reactionsno matter the substancesusually occur due to several compounding reasons. However, the bodily functions primarily involved in allergic reactions are the immune system, which can be functioning on hyper due to excessive exposure to and overloaded by toxins, and the human liver, an organ that has over 500 known functions in the human body. Both, in this writers opinion, go hand-in-hand when dealing with or reacting to food allergies. Why? Well, consider this. The environment in which we live is saturated to the point of inundation with man-made chemicals from various sources: known, unknown, and unsuspected, e.g., chemtrails being sprayed from over 1400 airplanes daily and globally. See thisfor photographs of airplanes outfitted for spraying and thisfor a laboratory analysis of toxic chemicals assayed in New Zealand, confirming the global statement. Chemtrail elements are aerosolized, meaning they are very small and are being breathed into human and animal bodies after falling to earth. As such, those toxic elements do several things in the human body, viz., affect correct body pH balances; overload all detoxification organs in the body, primarily the liver and kidneys; lodge in fatty tissue; and can cross the blood brain barrier thereby contributing to dementias, including Alzheimers because of aluminums proclivity for and being associated as a contributing factor to that disease. Assisted living and residential care: Alzheimers disease and other dementias, 41.8% Hospice care: Alzheimers as primary diagnosis, 3.8% (2007) Nursing home care: residents with Alzheimers, 15.5% Mortality: Cause of death rank, 6th Aluminum can be found in numerous foods, especially in baking powders, pickles (alum), food processing additives, pharmaceuticals of which vaccines are a class, as stated on the CDCs website here.Dietary and other sources of aluminum intake. Antiperspirants, antacids, processed foods, and pharmaceuticals including vaccines, are notorious sources for aluminum that, once in the body, can cross the blood brain barrier which, in turn, can program negative neurological activity and functions of other bodily organs. Do your research to learn more about aluminum as a source for precipitating allergic response activity in the body. But, before I leave aluminum, heres a terrific resource to start your research. Aluminum content of selected foods and food products, published by Environmental Science Europe. Another ubiquitous toxic chemical that just about everyone in the USA is forced to drink is fluoride in municipal drinking water. Wikipedia explains a lot about fluoride here. Instead of using up space in this article about fluoride being a protoplasmic poison, just learn how to eliminate as much fluoride as possible from your body and environment. Regarding drinking water, see here.Regarding fluoride toxicity in children, please check hereand thishereto learn that fluoride interferes with bone formation, and can cause gastrointestinal problems, which are part of the allergy syndrome. The third allergy-producing-whammy, in this writers opinion, is food processing and agricultural chemicals. A truly informative government website about agricultural chemicals is here. Study it and realize that all those chemicals co-react and interfere with body chemistry. Frightening as it may seem, no studies have been done on that aspect of food safety, i.e., ingesting multiple chemicals and studying their interactions within the body at the same time. Then we have food processing chemicals by the thousands, as listed at the U.S. FDA Food Additive Status List [A to Z] here. Now you may realize how chemicals contribute to food allergies occurring at an all-time-high. What can we do about it? Heres an excellent starting place. More than 80,000 chemicals permitted in the United States have never been fully assessed for toxic impacts on human health and the environment. The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) enacted in 1976 needs to be revisited, amended, and eviscerated of clauses that allow business and industry to do whatever they want with chemicals and keep it a secret even from some federal regulatory agencies under the guise of protecting trade secrets. In 2009 this writer published the book Our Chemical Lives And The Hijacking Of Our DNA, A Probe Into Whats Probably Making Us Sick. The book has over 500 pages of documented information readers may want to know about food and chemicals, chemicals in clothing, cosmetics, etc., pesticides and herbicides, excitotoxins, and Kids and Chemicals, one of the chapter headings. Food allergies have greater, deeper, and apparently more sinister causes than the consumer may appreciate. Now that you know, perhaps you will consider eating organically-grown fresh or processed foods. Although they may not be totally organic due to environmental factors beyond consumers control plus food politics, which the USA government can and should do something about, at least organics are an improvement. Eating organically-grown food can have an impact on reducing toxic body burdens and allergic responses.

2	Michelle Obama Is Trying To Take Halloween Away From Kids Shortly after it was announced that President Barack Obama had intentions to change the name of Thanksgiving, Michelle has come under fire for what her failing program means for Halloween. According to recent reports, the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs office just announced that they would be holding an annual Halloween parade, but asked employees not to hand out candy or sweets to children participating. Why? The daycare center in the office joined the Lets Move Program, meaning that the kids are required to be given something other than candy. If you would like to hand out treats during the parade, please give healthy snacks such as pretzels, raisins, granola bars and sliced apples, one announcement read. NO CANDY PLEASE! The announcement went on to claim that residents should feel free to offer things like pencils, crayons, and rings instead of sweet treats. What do you think? Is Michelle taking her plans way too far? 
3	ReThink 9/11: The Truth That Could Still Unravel an Empire of LiesThe 9/11 false flag attack has propelled a wave of perpetual wars building a new order based upon chaos. Twelve years after the September 11 attacks, Americans are still entangled in perpetual war, centered around the Middle East which has been based in numerous theaters, including Iraq and Afghanistan, Libya and now possibly Syria. The specter of terrorism still looms, putting supposedly-guaranteed civil rights in the backseat and fear in the fast lane. Checkpoints and security measures have accelerated at home in the United States, while a military without a clear mission continues roaming campaigns against supposed hotbeds of terrorism, or alternately extremism, carrying out clandestine operations and drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan and other locales, and tense diplomatic relations in countless parts of the globe. In short, the world has never been the same since 9/11. The term itself has been seared into the collective conscience, never to be forgotten. From the first moments of the attacks on the World Trade Center towers, followed by an attack on the Pentagon, a downed plane in Shanksville, PA and reports of numerous other hijacked planes and incidents, the truth was essentially thrown out the window. The event pivotal to world affairs for the foreseeable future was based upon perception, a perception carefully crafted to captivate a nation and predicate a response. What really happened has never been officially explained or at least acknowledged but has been painstakingly pursued by victims family members, concerned citizens, whistleblowers and government officials, technical professionals and alternative media pioneers. The reasons are numerous, even legion. So are the lies that began with that traumatic national wound. The truth then, necessarily, is detailed and multifaceted. It has many angles that each yield important pieces of a profound but simple revelation a great nations laws, the American way of life, already undermined and deteriorating, was hijacked and transformed by the power of magic. Not supernatural magic directed by forces unseen, but a complicated parlor trick, concocted by a cadre of powerful illusionists whove taken the world for a sick, twisted and regrettable ride. Untangling that lie that is, even beginning to contemplate repair and restoration requires confronting that truth, the essential truth, from whatever angle one finds to be a traversable path. One of the most palatable, yet confrontational remains the question of World Trade Center Building 7. Though it was not hit by a plane, nor severely damaged by the wreckage of the collapses of the Twin Towers, the 47-foot skyscraper, which housed important government and finance institutions, collapsed well into the afternoon of 9/11, and significantly, appeared to collapse just as buildings taken down deliberately by demolition do. Its collapse broadcast live during the chaotic and traumatic news coverage of the day fits into the official story of 9/11 like a square peg into a round hole. WTC7 clashes so soundly with the version of events sold to the public, that raising awareness of its very existence has been enough to snap countless individuals out of their 9/11 hypnosis and allow other pertinent questions to be raised and actually contemplated. It was omitted from the 9/11 Commissions final report, but officially explained via fires that brought down the support columns. While such fires did exist, they do little to explain the structural failure that caused the building to fall suddenly and completely at a rate quite close to free fall speed. After considerably delay, the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) explained away the event as if sweeping dirt under a rug to avoid embarrassment. Instead groups like Architects Engineers for 9/11 and various awareness campaigns including ReThink 9/11 have studied the case of WTC7 from the point of view of physics, science, public policy and common sense to present an alternative explanation considerably closer to reality. WTC Building 7 has become a rallying point for 9/11 conspiracy realists awakened to the fact that the fast furious conclusion of the September 11 attacks were used to pursue a dark political agenda and instead use its embarrassing, sore thumb, loose end of an existence (prior to collapse that is) to raise and perpetuate compelling questions that can not and should not be ignored. Ahead of the 2013 anniversary of September 11th, ReThink 9/11 conducted a survey of the publics awareness, perception and attitude towards the outwardly forgotten WTC7. The results may surprise you (READ THE RESULTS HERE IN PDF). The group also raised funds to put up a billboard addressing the outstanding questions about Building 7 in Times Square, one of the most heavily trafficked areas in busy downtown Manhattan, as well as to raise awareness in cities around the world. Watch their video and ReThink 9/11. Its time to set aside the official lies and consider what really happened to the victims, our nation and our society: Mainstream media defector and now alternative media icon Ben Swann profiled the groups efforts for the 2013 anniversary of September 11th. Watch his Reality Check report More Americans Rethinking 9/11?: If this sounds too incredible, reconsider the fact that the live coverage of the 9/11 attacks conflicted significantly with the official story that would later emerge, including numerous reports both from news anchors and numerous eyewitnesses on the scene of explosions in the towers. These were not confused with impact of the planes, but reported as secondary explosions worthy of a more full investigation, but instead cast aside into the realm of illegitimate conspiracy theory. 9/11 Revisited: Live Mainstream Media Coverage Conflicts with Official Story And dozens, even hundreds, of other significant and legitimate questions exist and persist. This video presentation examines of just a few. Though this subject matter has been heavily trodden already by many courageous individuals concerned about the truth, it remains 12 years after the fact critical that anyone who doesnt want to go on blindly as a victim in this world to confront this evidence and awaken to a realization, however harsh, that we are living through a dangerous world of the unreal. 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	Father Dies Defending Daughter From 3 Black Men... Al Sharpton Is Silent [VIDEO] Eduardo Alberto Figueroa, a 40-year-old St. Paul man, recently died in his own home after his daughter was attacked by three violent black thugs. After the man celebrated his birthday with his daughter, the group attacked the pair shortly after midnight. Figueroa was beat nearly to death. According to reports from his wife Maria Figueroa, the thugs kicked him and they didnt stop. They just kept going. I just want them caught, she added. Figueroa refused medical treatment after the attack, claiming that he would make his own way to the hospital after returning home. Unfortunately, he died before he had the chance. What do you think? Is this just another example of a crime that will go unreported from the media? 
2	Obama Insists That There Are No Existential Threats Facing The U.S. [VIDEO] In a recent interview with the Today Shows Matt Lauer, President Barack Obama made some outrageous claims. It is clear that he is in denial about the threats we are facing as a country, and hes trying to blind the American public as well. During the interview, Obama claimed that there are no existential threats facing the country. We are still battling terrorism, Obama admitted, but went on to insist, We remain the strongest nation on earth by far and there are no existential threats facing us, but if we make some good choices now, whoever the next president is, whoever is controlling the next Congress there, theres no reason why we shouldnt own the 21st century. Now, I know in your speech its traditional to say the state of the union is strong, Lauer asked Obama, ahead of his address. When it comes to the emotional state of our union and when I go out and talk to people the words I hear most often in terms of how they are feeling right now, they talk about fear. They talk about frustration. They talk about fatigue. Any of those words surprise you? No, Obama quickly replied. I think, you know, we went through a lot over these last 10 years. We went through Katrina. We went through the Iraq War. We went through the worst financial crisis in our lifetimes. We are still battling terrorism. People are still recovering from some of the economic blows that hit, and it is sometimes important for us to step back and take measure of how far weve come. The economy right now is doing better than any other economy in the world by a significant margin. What do you think Obamas claims? Is this just another instance of him downplaying the threat of ISIS and other terrorist groups to make himself look like a successful leader? Is it time for a real leader in the White House? 
1	Confirming that only a few square miles currently remain, a report released Tuesday by the United Nations warned that the Middle East is rapidly running out of available land for violence to spill over to. As more and more of the regions land area is consumed by armed struggles such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the war against ISIS, ongoing rebellions in Yemen and Egypt, and widespread strife between Sunni and Shiite Muslims, the available square footage in which these clashes can further spread is becoming increasingly scarce, said U.N. analyst Philippe Brun, adding that brutal government regimes, religious extremist groups, and sectarian death squads are now spending a considerable amount of their time simply searching for the few remaining placid acres of land in the region in which to expand their violent reach. If the Middle Easts hostile factions cant slow down the pace at which their battles are overrunning new territory, we may soon reach a point where the struggle over where to hold future armed conflicts becomes a full-scale war in and of itself. Brun added that, though the Middle East will soon run out of area in which violence can spread, there would always be plenty of space left for it to intensify.

3	Elder Law Attorney Sued for Wrongful Death of His FatherJanet Phelan After putting his father under a conservatorship in 2006, Horspool and sister Margaret Updike proceeded to take a number of actions which alarmed some of their siblings. Raymond was married and living with his wife, Winifred, when conservator Updike had him taken from his home while Winifred was out shopping. In some states that would be called kidnapping. However, as Raymond was at that juncture a ward of his daughter, Margaret, the court overlooked this breach. When son William Horspool became concerned that his father was subsequently being neglected, he took some photographs which allegedly showed Raymond Horspool lying in excrement soaked bedding. San Bernardino Probate Judge Michael Welch ordered the photographs destroyed and then issued a Restraining Order against William. In a brazen detour from due process, William Horspool was never granted a hearing on the Restraining order. The wrongful death lawsuit, filed by Raymond Horspools daughter, Barbara Howard, names attorney Horspool, sister Margaret Updike, brother Raymond Horspool, Jr. and Integrated Care Community as defendants. The lawsuit alleges that due to the actions of the defendants, Raymond Horspool suffered malnutrition and starvation. The suit also alleges that J. David Horspool, Margaret Updike and Raymond Horspool, Jr refused to coordinate the replacement of the pacemaker for their father, instead letting it run down. This reporter has obtained correspondence from cardiologist Dr. Malcolm Pond, dated February 25, 2011, in which he states that he checked the pacemaker in January of 2011 and that it was nearing the end of its charge. He then states that Margaret has decided for Ray that it is inappropriate to proceed with pacemaker generator replacement He further states that I respect Margarets decision not to proceed with pacemaker generator replacement, and support this decision. Raymond Horspool died shortly thereafter, on March 13, 2011. The Riverside County Coroners report concerning Raymond Horspools demise increases concerns as to the nature and cause of the elderly mans death. Although noting that Raymond Horspool had been on Morphine and Ativan at the time of his death, the coroner refused to do a toxicology exam on the body, overriding the request by Barbara Howard. The potentiating affects of the mixture of these two drugs are known to cause respiratory failure. In addition, patients who are being given Morphine often decline to eat. Howard maintains that her fathers body weighed 137 pounds at time of death, a dramatic loss from his usual weight of around 200 pounds. Strangely, the Coroner failed to list the weight of the body in his report, a departure from generally accepted reporting requirements. When asked why the report failed to contain mandatory body weight information, the Deputy Coroner became combative. The battle over Raymond Horspools assets predate his death. In 2003, prior to the initiation of the conservatorship, Raymond had deeded a piece of property to his son, William. J. David Horspool subsequently persuaded Judge Welch to revoke this grant deed. As a result of this revocation of ownership, William, a retired peace officer, his wife Kelly and three young children were evicted and rendered homeless. In her objection to the First and Final Report of the Executor, Howard alleges that It also appears from the court records Ms. Margaret Updike, J. David Horspool and Raymond P. Horspool, Jr. have caused serious and irreparable harm to the Estate of Raymond P. Horspool, Sr. Her objections state that Several beneficiaries have tried without success to obtain the records of the ESTATE and the FAMILY TRUST. None of the following beneficiaries have been able to ascertain exactly what was ESTATE or FAMILY TRUST property. It has been impossible to determine what has happen[ed] to this property. Strangely, Raymond Horspools Will was lost by the law offices of Horspool and Horspool, according to the court record. Attorney J. David Horspool was for many years the attorney of record for conservator Melodie Scott. Scott has been linked to a number of deaths by morphine. The wrongful death suit will be heard in Riverside Superior Court. Attorney J. David Horspool did not reply to calls from this reporter concerning the allegations contained in the lawsuit.

3	Ingestible Identification Microchip Not a Scientific Pipe DreamBy Bauer Marshall With that in mind, a new form of enslavement may be gradually under way, but its in a small device that can be implanted in an assortment of products and entities, and is just one of many of the Big Brother technologies we are subjected to. In the 2006 tome, Spychips: How Major Corporations and Government Plan to Track Your Every Purchase and Watch Your Every Move privacy rights activists Dr. Katherine Albrecht and Liz McIntyre illustrate what radio frequency identification technology (RFID) may be used for. There are two main elements of an RFID tag. The first is a small silicon computer chip that includes a unique ID number. The second part of the RFID tag contains a flat antenna, which is hooked up to the miniature chip. This is how the tags and readers work: When an RFID tag gets within range of a reader, the tags antenna picks up the readers energy, amplifies it, and directs it to the chip. The energy stimulates the chip to beam back its unique number, say 345678, along with what other information it was programmed to relay. The reader device captures this information and processes it. What was just described is a passive RFID and that is just dependent on the reader for a power source. However, active tags can contain an internal power supply. An example of uses would be toll collection systems such as FasTrack and EZ-Pass. While understanding the functions of RFID is essential, knowing how the chips will be used amongst the populace is also critical to evaluate. Here are some patents regarding Corporate and Government Patents Albrecht and McIntyre reveal other startling details regarding the possible usage of these spychips. Patent Application #20020165758 (Identification and Tracking of Persons Using RFID-Tagged Item) Assigned to IBM, filed Nov. 2, 2002. This application will allow IBM to determine the identity of any person and used to monitor ones movements through the stores. IBM explains, Previous purchase records for reach person who stops at a retail store are collected by [cash register] terminals and stored in a transaction database. When a person carrying or wearing items having RFID tags enters the store or other designated area, a RFID tag scanner located therein scans the RFID tags on that person and reads the RFID tag information. The RFID tag information collected from the person is correlated with transaction records stored in the transaction database according to known correlation algorithms. Based on the results of this correlation, the exact identity of the person or certain characteristics about the person can be determined. This information is used to monitor the movement of the person though the store and or other areasInstead of determining the exact identity of the person, some characteristics such as demographics (e.g., age, race, sex etc.) about the person may be determined based on certain predetermined statistical information. For example, if items that are carried on the persons are highly expensive name brands, e.g., Rolex watch, then the person maybe classified in the upper-middle class income bracket. In another example, if the items that are carried on the person are female items typically associated with women e.g., a purse scarf, pantyhose, then the gender of the person can be determined as a female. Patent Application #6,659,344 (Automated Monitoring of Activity of Shoppers in a Market) Filed by Jerome A. Otto and Dennis J. Seitz of National Cash Register Company on December 6, 2000 and granted December 9, 2003. The invention monitors the items. The invention determines whether each item is located in one of three positions, namely, (1) in the basket, (2) on shelves, or (3) neither the basket nor on the shelves. For example, an item may take the form of Brand X canned corn. If the shopper removes a can of Brand X corn from a shelf, and holds the can in the hand, the invention will detect that a can of Brand X corn has been removed from the shelf, and also that the can is not in the basket. The inference may be raised that the can is held in the hand of the shopper at that time The data just obtained is recorded. [A] detailed record of the successive occupations of positions [baskets, shelf, or neither]can be recorded, together with the time-of-day for each position. Patent Application # 20040174258 (Method And Apparatus For Locating And Tracking Persons) Filed August 29, 2003, by Peter Seth Edelstein and Benjamin Theodore Nordell II, of Persephone Inc. This application will allow for the surgical implantation in the head, the torso, the deep muscle limbs, and the lumen of organs like the gastrointestinal tract and the uterus. Removal of the implanted device by a runaway juvenile would be impossible. Even if possible, such removal would likely place the runaway at the significant medical risk, which is counter to the runaways goal of safe escape and survival from parents or guardians. Other excerpts of the patent include: Patent Application #20040129781 (System and Method for Utilizing RF Tags to Collect Data Concerning Post-Consumer Resources) Assigned to BellSouths Intellectual Property Corporation, filed on July 8, 2003. The title of the patent in laymens terms, will allow BellSouth to sell data on your trash. BellSouth elaborates: Information concerning a post-consumption item [i.e., a piece of trash] may be linked (by serial number, for example), with information concerning the pre-consumed [i.e., a brand new] item collected by other data collection systems By combining captured pre-consumer information with post-consumption information, the entire life cycle of an item may be tracked. This information may be useful to any number of entities, including retailers, manufacturers, distributors and the like The collected and processed data may be helpful to track consumer purchases versus use patterns. A pet owner who lives in Atlanta but has a cabin in the mountains may choose to purchase pet food in the mountains because pet food is less expensive there A recycling facility may find it useful to know where the items dropped off at the recycling center were originally purchased. Grocery stores, pharmacies and retailers may find it useful to know how long it takes a particular item to go from being stocked on the shelf to being placed in a waste or recycling receptacle The information collected may bevaluable to particular industries. Patent Application # 20020149468 (System and Method for Controlling Remote Devices) Funded by the U.S. government. As stated in the patent application, weapons lost on a battlefield can be easily tracked and enabled or disable automatically or at will. With all these patents being granted or filed by major corporations as well as government, one has to wonder if a city could be completely designed on RFID technology. The Auto-ID Center has a clear vision-to create a world where every object from jumbo jets to sewing needles is linked to the internet. Compelling as this vision is, it is only achievable if the centers system is adopted by everyone everywhere. Success will be nothing less than global adoption, said Helen Duce, former Auto-ID Center associate director, who is now a Senior Partner at Effective Brands, which a global marketing consultancy company. Auto-ID has now become EPCglobal. Now lets move ahead to other developments in the RFID technology realm. Regina Dugan, former DARPA Director and currently Goggle executive who is helping create as well as promote the idea of an ingestible identification microchip will be attending this years Bilderberg Group Conference. Dugan told an audience about this technology at the 2013 All Things D11 Conference. This pill has a small chip inside of it with a switch, said Dugan. It also has what amounts to an inside out potato battery. When you swallow it, the acids in your stomach serve as the electrolyte and that powers it up. And the switch goes on and off and creates an 18 bit ECG wide signal in your body and essentially your entire body becomes your authentication token.

What in the world does Google have planned that its hiring military leadership? asked The Wires Adam Clark Estes, noting that her appointment illustrated Googles tight connections with military leadership. As one can see, there should be some cause of concern and hopefully, a complete surveillance civilization controlled by self-serving authoritarian technocrats as well as politicians does not occur. Could a technology like RFID enslave us? asks McIntyre. Theoretically, yes. Is the RFID implant the prophesied method of controlling humans and forcing beast worship? I dont think so. Could I be wrong? Yes. I dont believe anyone here on earth knows definitively what the future holds and exactly how events will unfold. She adds, There are many smart peoplepeople much smarter than myselfChristians and non-Christianswho hold very strong contradictory beliefs on most matters of religion. I take this as a clue that I should remain humble and reverent when it comes to the mysteries of the universe. Its one thing to explore possibilities and keep a watchful eye. Its quite another to claim a hotline to God and infer that others have an inferior connection to the Almighty. Side Bar: 63rd Bilderberg conference to take place from 11 14 June 2015 in Telfs-Buchen, Austria. The key topics for discussion this year include: Founded in 1954, the Bilderberg conference is an annual meeting designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America. Every year, between 120-150 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia and the media are invited to take part in the conference. About two thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America; approximately one third from politics and government and the rest from other fields. The conference is a forum for informal discussions about major issues facing the world. The meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor of any other participant may be revealed. Thanks to the private nature of the conference, the participants are not bound by the conventions of their office or by pre-agreed positions. As such, they can take time to listen, reflect and gather insights. There is no desired outcome, no minutes are taken and no report is written. Furthermore, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken, and no policy statements are issued. [ENDS] Editors Note, not for publication

3	A Whistleblowers Profile In CourageDave Hodges Dr. Linda Peeno contacted me two weeks ago and informed me that she is reinserting herself into her advocacy work on behalf of all patients who are trapped in a corrupt medical system. If you dont know who Linda Peeno is, the following profile should inspire all to become a force for positive change. If you remember Dr. Peeno, you will find the following information to be a welcome update on one of Americas most courageous whistleblowers. Of all the interviews that I have conducted over the years, there is one interview which still troubles me to this day. Almost five years ago, I interviewed managed health care whistleblower, Dr. Linda Peeno; her revelations have haunted me in the years following the interview. I am haunted because Dr. Peeno gave so much to the people of America and lost nearly everything in return. What started out as an interview with the objective consisting of presenting the listening audience with an expose on the inherent evils of health care, the interview turned into what John F. Kennedy would refer to as a shining example of a profile in courage. Yet, it is a profile in courage that has neither been championed nor rewarded. Rather, Peenos statements and actions have been met with denial, derision, disdain and a highly effective and destructive retaliation. I wish to begin by making a public confession: In the spring of 1987, as a physician, I caused the death of a man. Although this was known to many people, I have not been taken before any court of law or called to account for this in any professional or public forum. In fact, just the opposite occurred: I was rewarded for this. It bought me an improved reputation in my job, and contributed to my advancement afterwards. Not only did I demonstrate I could indeed do what was expected of me, I exemplified the good company doctor: I saved a half million dollars. I contend that managed care, as we currently know it, is inherently unethical in its organization and operation. Furthermore, I maintain that we have an industry which can exist only through flagrant ethical violations against individuals and the public. Below is an excerpt from Michael Moores movie Sicko, which featured the above-referenced testimony from Dr. Peeno. Previously on The Common Sense Show, Dr. Peeno stated that the man whose death that she took responsibility for, in the name of managed care, saved Humana $250,000. Peeno went on to state that shortly after the mans death, she passed by a bronze and marble statue outside the Humana headquarters building, where Peeno was employed. She inquired how much the statue cost Humana to purchase. Peeno learned the statue cost Humana $3.8 million dollars. This gross contradiction in Humanas priorities led Linda Peeno to wonder out loud How many people must needlessly die in order to perpetuate corporate affluence? In the 2002 Showtime production, Damaged Care, talented actress Laura Dern played the part of Dr. Peeno as the docudrama portrayed the shift in consciousness that Peeno experienced as she became managed cares biggest whistleblower because she could not longer trade lives for corporate profits by stamping the word denied on a pre-authorization form requesting medical treatment. Certainly, Dr. Peenos Congressional testimony and the Showtime docudrama secured her spot as an American hero, didnt it? Of course there was a lucrative book deal along with endless public appearances championing her personal courage in the name of protecting the public. And of course Dr. Peeno rode off into the sunset on her white horse to live happily ever after, correct? Unfortunately, there was no lucrative book deal and Dr. Peenos livelihood was stripped away. After all, what managed care company would ever let her name appear on a providers list of physicians following her Congressional testimony? To add insult to injury, Humana attempted to defame Dr. Peenos credibility in a June 28, 2007 press release about Sicko, when Humana declared that Peeno was never a Humana permanent, full-time employee (despite drawing a six-figure salary). Humana further went on to state that Peeno was nothing but a mere part-time contractor. Humana also took exception with Peenos Congressional testimony by stating that the referenced patients health care plan did not include coverage for a heart transplant. Therefore, according to some twisted sense of justice, Humana claimed that the denial of coverage was valid. But isnt that the problem here in that we permit managed care to commit rationed health care genocide on the American public and then punish the whistleblowers, like Linda Peeno, for doing no more than attempting to fulfill their sacred medical oath to do no harm? For a brief while, I wondered why Humana did not issue their denials in rebuttal to Peenos 1996 Congressional testimony. Then I realized, it is not a crime to lie to the press, but it is called perjury when it is done in front of Congress. Please allow me to encapsulate what Dr. Peeno did for you and for me. After working most of her adult life to become a physician, she cast all of that aside in the name of saving lives by calling attention to one of the greatest evils on the planet, managed health care. Her reward was the loss of her medical career and subsequent livelihood. And, as Dr. Peeno revealed on my show, she not only lost her medical career, she lost her marriage and was reduced to living month to month. I have frequently wondered why more Americans are not taking to the streets in protest of the corporate takeover of our country. Some have sarcastically, and sometimes seriously, suggested that too many of our citizens have been drugged, sprayed and injected with chemicals in order to induce passivity. Some have suggested that Americans are just too busy making ends meet to pay attention. Many others have suggested that the average American is so dumbed down by a failing education system that they cannot fully appreciate what we have lost to the fascist corporate power structure. However, my previous interview with Linda Peeno speaks to the fact that too many Americans are simply cowards and lack the backbone and the necessary personal conviction to do what Linda Peeno did. In 2008, President Obama rode in on his white horse to save the health care day. At least that what is many of you thought. If Obama was truly interested in reform that would benefit patients, then why wasnt Linda Peeno part of the national discussion? Why wasnt she invited to serve on an Obama-appointed government committee on health care? After all, can anyone name a physician who has done more and subsequently suffered more for advancing the cause of patient rights? Does anyone doubt that Humana has a collection of their minions on these types of committees? I share in Dr. Peenos idea for taking the profit out of health care in order to restore a patient-centered system. However, Obamacare has also created a for-profit system which is just as evil, just as corrupt and just as anti-patient. There can be no question that Obamacare will end up being another Obama disaster. At the time of my last interview with Dr. Peeno, she revealed that she taught adjunct courses for Allied Healthcare as she attempts to make ends meet; and she is without healthcare because she could not afford it. Whoever heard of a physician without health care? One might think that Linda Peeno would be embittered with all that she has endured, but she is not. She spoke eloquently about finding contentment emanating from within while continuing to work for reform in the health care industry. Her grace and soft-spoken manner has left an indelible mark upon me. Dr. Peeno slowly drifted from the national discussion in healthcare. Then two weeks ago, I received an email, as she entitled it, from an old friend. Dr. Peeno said she wanted to become involved again with her advocacy work. Obamacare better watch out, because history has shown that Dr. Peeno is both formidable and fearless. The world did not need Linda Peenos medical practice nearly so much as it needed Linda Peenos courage and conviction. The nature of her actions and her sacrifices commands us to take a very deep look at our own character and devotion to doing what we know is the right thing. Why arent there more Linda Peenos? Just what does it take to become a meaningful reformer and a fearless whistleblower? Some of you will profess to lack the eloquence, the resources or the knowledge needed to help reclaim our lost country. Being a true reformer does not require any of these attributes. Then what does it take to help change ones society? The attributes needed to become a reformer consists of answering one question and taking one action. Simply ask yourself, Is this the America that you want to raise your children in? Then take a moment to reach around yourself and see if your backbone is still intact. If it is, you have what it takes. And please spare me the worn-out argument that you dont have the time. When some managed care company stamps the word denied on your childs medical authorization for life-saving surgery, will you find the time then?

3	Close Guantanamo Now!Stephen Lendman He called indefinite detention legally and morally indefensible. He said 25 retired military flag officers said its an effective recruiting tool for our enemies. He urged concrete steps to restart the process toward closure. On May 7, the New York City Bar said Obama has the authority to close (Guantanamo) under Section 1028 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2013. Its about transferring detainees to foreign countries or other foreign entities. Obama could begin the process today. He could have done so long ago. Hell have to explain why not. He bears full responsibility for spurning what he pledged to do. In 2008, he promised closure. From both a moral standpoint and a practical standpoint, torture is wrong, he said. Barack Obama will end the use torture without exception. He also will eliminate the practice of extreme rendition, where we outsource our torture to other countries. Straightaway as president, he issued Executive Order titled Review and Disposition of Individuals Detained at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base and Closure of Detention Facilities. A previous article explained. Sec. 3 states: Closure of Detention Facilities at Guantanamo. The detention facilities at Guantanamo for individuals covered by this order shall be closed as soon as practicable, and no later than 1 year from the date of this order. If any individuals covered by this order remain, they shall be returned to their home country, released, transferred to a third country, or transferred to another United States detention facility in a manner consistent with law and the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States. He halted all proceedings in the United States Court of Military Commission Review to which charges have been referred but in which no judgment has been rendered. He mandated humane standards of confinement be observed in accordance with international humanitarian laws. On March 7, 2011, his Executive Order promised Periodic Review of Individuals Detained at Guantanamo Bay Naval Station Pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force. It said in part: This order is intended solely to establish a process to review on a periodic basis the executive branchs continued, discretionary exercise of existing detention authority in individual cases. Detainees at Guantanamo have the constitutional privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, and nothing in this order is intended to affect the jurisdiction of Federal courts to determine the legality of their detention. The Secretary of Defense shall coordinate a process of periodic review. In consultation with the Attorney General, The Secretary of Defense shall issue implementing guidelines governing the process. For each detainee, an initial review shall commence as soon as possible but no later than one year from the date of this order. So-called guidelines lacks credibility. More on that below. Guantanamo harshness continues. Ending it is nowhere in sight. More than half the remaining 166 detainees were cleared for release. Innocent victims remain incarcerated. Few were charged or tried. Its questionable whether any detainee warranted incarceration. So-called torture obtained confessions lack credibility. No legitimate court would accept them. Secret evidence is no better. Justice William Brennan once called proof beyond a reasonable doubt among the essentials of due process and fair treatment. The Legal Dictionary says its the standard that must be met by the prosecutions evidence in a criminal prosecution. Beyond a reasonable doubt is the highest standard of proof that must be met in any trial. Clear and Convincing Proof is evidence that establishes a high probability that the fact sought to be proved is true. The main reason (this high standard) is used in criminal trials is that such proceedings can result in the deprivation of a defendants liberty or even in his or her death. Innocent unless proved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt is a fundamental legal principle. Its universal or should be. Obama spurns it. He governs lawlessly, ruthlessly and recklessly. He broke every major promise made. He permits torture and extraordinary rendition. He does so after pledging to end them. He promised Guantanamo closure. It remains open. The Pentagons Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) plans expanding it. Millions will be spent doing so. Detainees may rot in gulag hell forever. Around 130 are hunger striking. Theyre doing so for justice. Most havent eaten for three months. Theyre willing to die for justice. Theyd rather perish than remain in gulag hell with no hope for release. Thats the stark reality they face. Release is just a presidential order away. Obama must be pressured to explain his failure to act. He can do so as the New York Bar explained. He can waive indefinite detentions. He can do so by certifying its in the national interest. Hes not legally constrained. Hes not limited by Congress. Hes beholden solely to international, constitutional, and US statute laws. As president and commander-in-chief, hes sworn to uphold them. Hes obligated to act responsibly. He can do what he hasnt done throughout his tenure. He spurned rule of law principles across the board. Doing the right thing is its own reward. He should try it sometime and see. On May 10, the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) headlined Congressional Briefing Urges Obama to Use His Authority to Close Guantanamo. CCR participated in a May 10 congressional briefing. It was titled From Crisis to Solution. It was co-sponsored by Representatives James Moran (D. VA), Gerry Connolly (D. VA), the Constitution Project, the New America Foundation, and the National Religious Campaign Against Torture. The previous day, Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin (D. MI) discussed a letter he wrote Obama. He urged him to appoint a high-level White House official to advance the transfer of Guantanamo detainees. He stressed that Congress granted him authority to close Guantanamo. Its up to him to use it. Waffling doesnt wash. According to senior CCR staff attorney Pardiss Kebriaei: Some of our clients have said they would rather die than live like this in perpetual detention after 11 years, in now inhuman conditions. But their hunger strikes are not acts of suicide. They are acts of last resort to be heard, and for release. We came today to urge President Obama to use the certification and waiver process created by Congress to transfer detained men, starting with the 86 men who have been cleared for release by the Obama administration itself. Congress has granted President Obama the tools and power he needs to end indefinite detention and close Guantanamo. He cannot place the blame on Congress for the fact that 166 men still remain (there). He has the power to resolve this crisis, and he must use it to close Guantanamo. Straightaway as president, he could have acted responsibly. He chose not to do so. His two Executive Orders were disingenuous. They were head fakes. Given how hes governed, its not surprising. His March 7, 2011Executive Order also authorized indefinite detentions and military commission trials. Doing so broke his pledge to close Guantanamo. It suggests he has no intention to do so. He also violated Americas Fifth Amendment, stating: No person.shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. At the time, ACLU executive director Anthony Romero said: It is virtually impossible to imagine how (Obama) closes Guantanamo in light of this executive order. In a little over two years, (hes) done a complete about-face. In 2011, attorney David Remes represented 20 detainees. He saw no substantive difference between Bush and Obama policies. Just a new cast of characters, he said. Lawlessness continues unabated. Within a year, the EO authorizes an unclassified review of factors justifying each detainees continued incarceration. A government representative will be appointed to do so. Detainees may hire private counsel if they wish. Theyll have to do so at their own expense. No government funds are provided. A Periodic Review Board is also involved. Its stacked against detainees. Its composed of military, intelligence and Justice Department officials. According to the EO, detainees may appear before the board. They may introduce their own evidence. They may call witnesses who are reasonably available. In other words, Washington wont pay transportation costs. Detainees were abducted far from Guantanamo. Theyre not reasonably available. The deck is stacked. So-called periodic reviews exclude fairness. Indefinite detentions and military commissions are lawless. Theyre indefensible. Theyre unjustifiable practices. No civil societies should tolerate them. They constitute guilt by accusation. No recourse is permitted. Appeals arent allowed. Rule of law principles dont matter. Diktat authority has final say. After his March 7, 2011 Executive Order, Obama contemptuously claimed: Indefinite detentions and military commissions will broaden our ability to bring terrorists to justice, provide oversight for our actions, and ensure the humane treatment of the detainees. Attorney General Holder added: The executive order.strengthens the legal framework under which we will continue to detain those individuals who are at war with our country and who pose a significant threat to the security of the United States. Omitted was explaining that virtually all Guantanamo detainees were and continue to be innocent victims. On January 11, 2002, the facility opened. At least most detainees have been non-belligerents. Seton Hall University Guantanamo reports revealed that around 95% were seized randomly for bounty. They were sold to US forces for $5,000 per claimed Taliban and $25,000 for alleged Al Qaeda members. No corroborating evidence was sought. Washington needed bodies. It still does. It operates black sites. Innocent victims fill Americas global network of torture prisons. Alleged suspects are snatched and disappeared. Its done out of sight and mind. Major media scoundrels ignore it. Guantanamos the tip of the iceberg. Obama continues lawless Bush practices. Torture remains official policy. Innocence is no defense. Crimes of war, against humanity and genocide continue. Waging war on humanity is policy. It continues unabated. Who knows whats next? Its shocking to imagine whats possible.

2	Town Sued For Racism For Be Denying The Building Of Mosque, But Heres The Real Truth According to recent reports, a New Jersey town has been criticized for being Islamaphobic for refusing a zoning permit to Muslims who attended to build a mosque in a quiet area. The plans were introduced in 2011, and would have included 107 parking spaces. They were ultimately rejected after several public hearings. The towns board ruled that the mosque would not work in that neighborhood, Fox News reports. Of course, rather than simply finding a different location for their mosque, the Islamic Society of Basking Ridge decided to sue the town for religious discrimination. And true to their ways, the media has gobbled up the story, painting a villainous picture of the citizens of Bernards. In their coverage of the incident, they left out one critical piece of historical information. This community elected Mohammad Ali Chaudry (the leader of the Islamic Society) to the Township Committee after 9/11 and made him the first Pakistani Muslim mayor in the nation, the current mayor, Carol Bianchi, explained in a statement. I am disappointed that (he) would call this community, which has always embraced him, bigots. This story is particularly devastating because the members in the community once trusted the man who suing them for bigotry. Can you really blame residents for protesting more than 100 cars streaming in and out of their neighborhood at all hours? There likely would have been the same protest for any other building with such high attendanceincluding a Christian church. Were not denying that there is racism in this country, but calling wolf on situations like this have a dangerous impact that cant be ignored. 
1	Claiming to share many of the same personality traits, 28-year-old Matthew Brooks revealed Wednesday that he strongly identifies with the protagonist from his favorite television drama, a character who could never actually exist in real life. I see a lot of myself in how he sort of plays by his own rules and always stays true to his morals no matter what. He also makes these really cool, sarcastic remarks that other characters in the show think are funny, and I kind of do that, too, Brooks said of the character who resembles no actual human being who currently exists in reality, has ever existed in reality, or will ever exist in reality. And the way he can be so abrasive and arrogant while still maintaining a high-pressure job, managing a core group of devoted friends who admire him, and juggling multiple relationships with incredibly gorgeous womenIm totally like that sometimes. Brooks added that the only character in the show he finds it difficult to relate to is the main characters brother, an unkempt and lazy 28-year-old who spends the majority of his time sitting around his apartment watching television. 
3	Orwells Dystopic Nightmare Comes True: Agenda 21 Smart Cities Are Here!Our brave new world starts with these brave new cities. So-called smart cities arent just some far off futuristic abstract twinkle in the New World Orders eyethese are being built right now. Think privacy and freedom are limited commodities now? Try having either of those things living in a smart city control grid where everything you do is tracked, traced, chipped and monitored 24 hours a day. Currently being built in Abu Dhabi at a price tag of $22 billion, Masdar (which means the source) is a six-kilometer walled smart city shaped like two squares that resemble The Borgs Unicomplex from the sci-fi TV show Star Trek. As a research and testing ground for smart technologies, The National reported, The officials running Masdars power grid will have access to detailed data on how energy is being used at any given moment and will have the means to directly moderate high rates of consumption to balance supply with demand. [emphasis added] Sensometrix SA a Geneva-based company and leader in next generation biometric technology with products including SensoBrain and the eerie biometric slogan Your hand is the future will work with Masdar to continue developing the companys security technologies such as identity access management. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) headquarters is set to reside in Masdar as well. After the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) signed on to the project in 2010, Hillary Clinton spoke at The Masdar Institute, remarking, the partnership that we have established between the United States and Abu Dhabi around renewable energy and climate change and sustainable development that takes advantage of human capital is one of the most important partnerships for the future that we could be pursuing. Clinton also noted the work in Masdar is in the interest of global progress. While truly sustainable, renewable green energy sources are a positive thing on the surface, the flip side to this community is that everything will be wired into a top-to-bottom, completely controlled smart grid. As experimental technologies are tested out over there, the U.S. deal through the DOE ensures these technologies will be shared (or someday imposed?) over here. Considering the rise of these smart cities, NY Times Nicolai Ouroussoff wrote,What Masdar really represents, in fact, is the crystallization of another global phenomenon: the growing division of the world into refined, high-end enclaves and vast formless ghettos where issues like sustainability have little immediate relevance. The city was set for 2016 completion, but several delays, including dust storms that incapacitated the solar panels, have set Masdar back to a potential 2020 end date. Songdo International Business District: A City in a Box The 100 million square foot Songdo, a $40 billion project by Gale International and Morgan Stanley Real Estate, has been dubbed the City in a Box, and is set for completion by 2015.Smart Data Collective.com reports that Songdo will be completely wired, with microchips and/or wireless sensors in practically everything from houses to cars to children who will wear tracking bracelets just in case they get lost. TelePresence screens will adorn all businesses and shops. Even the garbage will offer the citys central monitoring unit real-time data for instant analysis via microchip cards. As if the ubiquitous sensors and microchips werent enough, everything in Songdo will also be monitored via CCTV cameras as well. The data will provide valuable insights in how people work, live and think within the smart city, wrote Mark van Rijmenam of Smart Data Collective. [emphasis added] Smart Grid, Stupid Implications At first, giving real-time data on everything you do from the utilities you use to the garbage you throw away to a giant computer to help regulate resources and waste might sound helpful. Leave your water running? No worries, a computer can send a signal to the main control hub to shut it off for you. But as David Sasaki points out, smart cities could lead to dumb citizens: There is a real risk that as our lives become more automated we become more like automatons. We will follow the guidance of our smart phones without reflecting on how we live our lives, and how we engage in our communities. [emphasis added] Sasakis comment recalls the instance of Japanese tourists driving their car into an Australian bay because they followed orders from their GPS over their own eyeballs. Beyond that, while Sasaki notes that citizens could be given tax breaks, for example, if they reduce their water consumption, the same hand that can give can also take away by penalizing those in smart cities who use what might be considered too much of any resource a determination that could easily adjust over time to become even more restrictive. Ever since 9/11 in America, weve seen a government that has completely abandoned the Constitution with undeclared drone wars that lack any form of due process; the declaration of the homeland as a battlefield and the ability to detain and disappear citizens with the National Defense Authorization Act; unprecedented expansion of the National Security Administration big brother surveillance state; the continual militarization of our police and further expansion of the Transportation Security Administration; and unfair targeting practices of certain political groups considered oppositional to the presidents agenda by the Internal Revenue Service just to name a few. Smart grid cities have the potential to bring some really wonderful alternative energy sources to the table, but with the power balance shifted into all the wrong hands, these cities amount to little more than glorified electronic concentration camps with trendy faades that play on green guilt. To put tyrannical governments in control of a network of these electronic concentration camps makes George Orwells dystopian novel 1984 look like a Sunday afternoon at a preschool playground.

2	Meet The Woman With The Power To Ruin Darren Wilsons Life It is clear that the legal battle is likely far from over for Darren Wilson. Wilson was never actually charged with a crime, therefore the constitutional protection of double jeopardy does not apply to him. Although prosecuting attorney Bob McCulloch has made clear that he believes Wilson is innocentothers are not so sure. And Missouri Governor Jay Nixon recently used his spokesperson to announce that he will not be appointing a special prosecutor to pursue the case any further. But according to one statute, the court has criminal jurisdiction to appoint another if they so chose. That means that the destiny of the case falls in the lap of Maura McShane, the Presiding Judge of the 21st Circuit. Many believe that McShane is likely to be persuaded to initiate another court battle with a separate prosecutor, especially after arguments that McCullochs statement after the grand jury decision read like a closing argument for the defense. If McShane does not organically make the decision to appoint a special prosecutor, members of the community still could. What do you think? Should Wilson be tried again? 
1	In a game that everyone in the stands and on the ice believed to be a tune-up before the NHL's regular season begins, Philadelphia Flyers goalie Ray Emery led his team to a 5-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils Saturday night. 'We made a few mistakes out there, but we'll get those ironed out by the time these games count,' said Flyers center Mike Richards, whose second goal of the 2009-2010 regular season lifted the Flyers to a 2-0-0 record. 'You can't get too worked up about an exhibition game. Most of the fans left in the middle of the second period anyway.' During a postgame press conference, Devils coach Jacques Lemaire told reporters that he wasn't worried about the loss, saying that during the regular season he would never pull his goalie for the entire third period just to get some practice playing with an extra attacker. 
2	BREAKING: Fox News Just Did Something SICKENING To Newt Gingrich After Ripping Megyn Kelly A New One Megyn Kelly has lost the support of millions of Fox News fans over the past year for her frequent and biased attacks on Donald Trump. But the host hit a new low this week when she attacked New Gingrich and called Trump a sexual predator. It didnt take long for the tables to turn on Kelly. Heres a clip from their heated exchange below, courtesy of The Gateway Pundit: Megyn Kelly: he had a rough first debate. He took the bait on Alicia Machado. He stayed in that trap for a week. The Access Hollywood tape came out. Which was not produced by Hillary Clinton. (Does she have proof of that?) That was Trump on camera talking Millions of Americans tipped their hats to Gingrich for standing up to Kellys ridiculous accusations, but Fox News is not amused with the interaction. According to reports, Gingrich was subsequently bumped from a schedule appearance on Fox Friends this morning. Watch the segment below and tell us what you think. Did Gingrich do the right thing or did he take things too far? 
1	Questions regarding the fate of Mad magazine reporter Phil Fonebone, kidnapped at the hands of Blecchistani extremists three months ago, were answered Monday with the discovery of his body at an undisclosed location near Potrzebie. A September 2001 file photo of <i>Mad</i> reporter Fonebone while on assignment near the Blecchistani city of Plort. 'Phil Fonebone's death was a brutal act of barbarism perpetrated by a group of clods, finks, and schmendricks who stand in direct opposition to the values we cherish as a democratic society,' read a statement issued by Mad magazine. 'On behalf of journalists and freedom lovers everywhere, we condemn this senseless, furshlugginer act of violence.' Widely admired by colleagues in the field of malaprop journalism, Fonebone, 32, won a 2002 Pee-yew-litzer Prize for his coverage of the Blecchistani crisis. He also earned praise for reportage on such stories as the rise of Ayatoldya Soslayme in Iranaway and the hunt for terrorist leader Whoah-Ahma Big-Loudmouth. Fonebone disappeared on March 9 when Mad's trademark dirigible, used by the reporter to get a 'Berg's-eye view' of the Blecchistani war zone, was shot down near Potrzebie by unidentified extremists armed with oversized slingshots. The weapons, it is believed, were provided by illegal arms dealers, possibly Moronicist extremists in the Blecchistani countryside. Blecchistan map The motivation for the attack remains unclear, but, according to a report by the Al Jerkzeera News Network, the kidnappers were seeking a ransom of '$35 millionCHEAP!' from the editors of Mad. With its strong anti-establishment stance and open criticism of social mores, Mad has long been viewed as an enemy by Potrzebian extremists, who consider it a corrupting Western influence. Blecchistani ultra-conservatives, known to confiscate stockpiles of Mad hidden in tree forts or under the mattresses of rebellious Blecchistani youths, have denounced the publication as 'a bunch of garbage that will rot children's minds' and its editors as the 'usual gang of idiots.' Still, some Blecchistani youths, defying authorities' efforts to rid the nation of the magazine, have hidden copies inside large, state-sponsored textbooks and conservative propaganda. 'It is clear that Fonebone's irreverent coverage of 'the lighter side of international terrorism' earned him many enemies in Blecchistan,' Mad editor Melvin Coznowski said. 'But even in the face of death threats, he remained brave, saying with a wry smile, 'What, me worry?'' Though many of the specifics regarding Fonebone's murder remain unclear, some details are known. The body was badly decomposed, but coroners identified it by its oversized, folded-over feet. As for the identity of the perpetrators, reports suggest the involvement of one or more mysterious, trench-coated espionage agents dressed in either all-white or all-black clothing, and described as 'angular, birdlike males with wide-brimmed, pointy hats.' A State Department memo on the search for Fonebone's killer. A recently leaked memo from the State Department also confirms the interception of a Morse-coded message suggesting that the plot may have been masterminded by a shadowy figure known only as 'Prohias.' This same figure may have been responsible for an elaborate swivel-turret backwards-firing cannon found at the scene of the dirigible attack. At the time of his capture, Fonebone was tracking down members of the al-Jaffi terrorist network, a group widely believed responsible for the devastating Snappy Answers To Stupid Questions Atrocities, a string of May suicide bombings intended to undermine efforts to establish democracy in Blecchistan. Asked if they knew anything about rumored al-Jaffi involvement in the Fonebone murder, suspects detained in connection with the bombings replied only with a series of three sarcastic variations on 'No,' leaving a fourth response blank for State Department officials to fill in themselves. Mad staffers praised Fonebone for his passionate commitment to the cause for which he died. 'Phil Fonebone was a tireless crusader in the fight for a free press,' managing editor Roger Kaputnik said. 'This shameful act of violence against such a courageous man can only be described as 'murder in a jugular vein.'' Continued Kaputnik: 'Time and time again, Mad has faced the threats of oppression and tyranny. We have been attacked from the far right, when Estes Kefauver conducted his witch hunt on comics in the 1950s, and from the far left, when Fidel Castro forced one of Mad's chief contributors to flee Communist Cuba for the subversive content of his cartoons. We have taken plenty of lumpstall, elongated lumps circled by chirping birds and musical notesyet we've never given in. Or folded in. The perpetrators of this act thought they could destroy the free press, but they have succeeded only in rallying the free press against them. Phil Fonebone's death was truly a 'Ker-Schlumpf!' heard 'round the world.' A statement released by Gladys Fonebone, Phil's widow, echoed Kaputnik's sentiments. 'Phil believed that by exposing the truth and attacking hypocrisy, the world is made a better place,' Fonebone said. 'He dedicated his life to working toward a future where tolerance and compassion are values all people share. And that is a scene we'd all like to see.' 
2	Randy Travis Recovery Is GRUELING, What He Is Pushing Towards Will Leave You Praying For Him Randy Travis is taking his recovery one day at a time. His stroke left him almost dead and he has had to push through every obstacle that he has been faced with. A stroke is an unbelievable thing to come back from and Randy has come back amazingly. The doctors told Randy that he most likely would never be able to sing. Randy worked his butt off through recovery and made his way onto a stage to sing at a friends funeral. The song was beautiful and it appears that Randy Travis will be making a full recovery. He is a man with immense strength and his fans are rejoicing. Randy is working to get back to touring. He is unsure if this will ever happen, but it would be the ultimate goal for him. Recently he made his way to the Grand Ole Opry to pay tribute to a lifelong Nashville Executive. There, Randy met up with fellow super stars: Kenny Rogers, Lee Brice, Pinkard Bowden, Crystal Gayle, and many more. The executive has touched many country stars lives and he deserves to be recognized by this prestigious group. The event they attended is an annual event that raises money to support the country music community. That is amazing because Randy received some of the money last year during his stroke. Ed Norman is the name of the executive that was being honored. Randy had not seen the man in many years and so Randy knew he had to go and honor him. Randy showed immense strength to come back from the stroke and now he is going to huge events and singing on stage. I am unbelievably excited to see him fully recover. He is an awesome man and an awesome musician. If he can go on tour again, I would immediately buy tickets. I would buy five just so I could have an entire row to myself. If he can not go on tour, I hope he recovers enough to record a new album. That would be just as amazing. Randy is one of countrys best and deserves our support. Will you support Randy during his recovery? 
3	Physicist Claims No Nuclear Disaster at FukushimaMelissa Melton From Dr. Kemms recent article on CFACT.org: Firstly let us get something clear. There was no Fukushima nuclear disaster. Total number of people killed by nuclear radiation at Fukushima was zero. Total injured by radiation was zero. Total private property damaged by radiation.zero. There was no nuclear disaster. What there was, was a major media feeding frenzy fuelled by the rather remote possibility that there may have been a major radiation leak. At the time, there was media frenzy that reactors at Fukushima may suffer a core meltdown. Dire warnings were issued. Well the reactors did suffer a core meltdown. What happened? Nothing. Kemm also asserts that none of the leaks that have happened at Daiichi since then have really amounted to much of anything either. So, recent reports coming out of TEPCO that 400 tons of contaminated water are emptying into the Pacific Ocean daily from the damaged Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant (see The Japan Times) are apparently nothing to be concerned about. In fact, Kemm says TEPCO should just dump more radioactive water into the ocean: Quite frankly, scientifically speaking, the best thing to do with the mildly radioactive waste water would be to intentionally pour it into the sea. The water which is currently in the new Fukushima storage tanks has already been filtered to remove radioactive Caesium. All that is left is a bit of radioactive Tritium. Tritium is actually part of the water molecule anywayso what we really have iswell, water in waterThe Tritium heavy water is very mildly radioactive and is found normally in the sea all over the world all of the time. This Tritium concentration in the one thousand storage tanks at Fukushima is higher than that found naturally in the sea, but is still so low as to pose no real danger at all. No doubt the Japanese government is too scared to release this water into the sea because of the howl of criticism which would no doubt follow. Kemm did not mention anything about the other materials being discharged into the atmosphere and the water. Presenting at a September International Atomic Energy Agency meeting, Michio Aoyama, senior researcher at the geochemical research department of the Meteorological Research Institute at the Japan Meteorological Agency, some 60 billion becquerels of cesium-137 and strontium-90 are being discharged daily into the Pacific from the ditch at the north end of the reactors. Strontium-90 alone has a half-life of nearly 30 years. Kemm also did not address fish levels in the Pacific now reported at historic lows or studies of fish tainted with Fukushima radiation finding their way across the Pacific Ocean to North America and what effect those fish could have on the people who have unknowingly eaten (and are still eating) them. Yachtsman Ivan MacFadyen, who recently sailed from Melbourne to Osaka to San Francisco, came back and straight-up said the ocean is broken. A study released in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Health Services claims 14,000 Americans, mostly infants under the age of one, have already died due to Fukushima radiation. The International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War has estimated that over 136,000 cases of Fukushima-induced cancer and other serious illnesses will likely occur in the future (and this does not include precancerous tumors on children). Stories continue to come out that Fukushima children are being diagnosed with thyroid cancer at an alarming rate. Breaking protocol, a lawmaker recently handed a letter directly to the Japanese Emperor, warning him about the sick children and clean-up workers being diagnosed with cancer in and around Fukushima. Apparently though, none of this is any cause for concern, as Dr. Kemm goes on to conclude: The Fukushima incident will continue to attract media attention for some time to come, I imagine. It has become such a good story to roll with that it will not just go away. However, in sober reflection and retrospection one has to come to the conclusion that far from being a nuclear disaster the Fukushima incident was actually a wonderful illustration of the safety of nuclear power. Dr. Kemms assertions do not really stack up with what other experts are saying about Fukushimas wrath and potential for future global disaster. For example, Dr. Helen Caldicott, a physician, author, and yes, anti-nuclear advocate, recently wrote: [Building 4s] cooling pool contains 8,800 pounds of plutonium plus over 100 other highly radioactive isotopes. Instead of this core melting into a larval mass like the other three cores, it sits exposed to the air atop the shaky building. A large earthquake could disrupt the integrity of the building, causing it to collapse and taking the hot fuel rods with it. The cooling water would evaporate and the intrinsic heat of the radioactive rods would ignite a fire as the zirconium cladding reacted with air, releasing the radioactive equivalent of 14,000 Hiroshima-sized bombs and 10 times more cesium than Chernobyl. Not only would the Northern Hemisphere become badly contaminated, but the Japanese government is seriously contemplating evacuating 35 million people from Tokyo should this happen. TEPCO has constructed a steel frame to strengthen the shaky building in order to place a massive crane on the roof so they can extract the hot rods by remote control. This operation is always performed by computer and a remote manually-controlled extraction has never been attempted before. If the rods are deformed, a rod could fracture releasing so much radiation that the workers would have to evacuate or, should they touch each other, a chain reaction could release huge amounts of radiation. Caldicott has mentioned that if spent fuel pool no. 4 collapses, she will immediately evacuate her family from Boston.

1	On the fifth anniversary of FactZone, we look back at our favorite interviews: 5. Jim Davis: In 2006, Garfield creator Jim Davis stopped by the FactZone studio to promote the movie Garfield: A Tale Of Two Kitties. Co-host Tucker Hope later described the experience of meeting Mr. Davis as 'Like meeting Michelangelo, Shakespeare, and an angel combined into one being.' 4. Vladimir Putin: In 2008 FactZone host Brooke Alvarez reduced the Russian leader to tears with her intense questioning. Putin later described looking into Alvarez's eyes as akin to staring across an endless expanse of barren, frozen Russian tundra. 3. Dr. Cornell West: The esteemed philosopher, author, and civil rights advocate stopped by FactZone in 2008. Dr. West was put into the zero-gravity 'Floating Fact Chamber' where he answered viewers' Tweets about his opinion of Justin Bieber and his favorite animals. 2. Brooke Alvarez: Through the use of advanced holograph technology, Brooke Alvarez was able to interview a digital version of herself in late 2010. Never one to pull her punches, Alvarez grilled herself with tough questions about rumors that she had taken corporate bribes. 1. Elaine Coughlin: Brooke Alvarez's 2009 interview with distraught mother Elaine Coughlin, whose daughter Rachel was missing and feared kidnapped, marked the first time a FactZone guest ever vomited live on-air due to pure emotional turmoil. This segment is also notable for including the highest number of times of the word 'rape' had ever been uttered by Brooke during a single interview: 48. That record has since been broken twice. 
2	Whoopi Crosses The Line When She Makes Disgustingly Vulgar Comment About Christmas... This Is It Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of The View, has earned a reputation for making outrageous and offensive comments. In a recent segment, she went on one of her most insane rants yet, comparing Christmas to having an abortion. The conversation started with discussions about a story in which a teacher from Texas at a public school was forced to remove a Charlie Brown Christmas display from her classroom. At first, Goldberg seemed uncharacteristically logical, defending the teachers right to display the decoration. Lets keep in mind, it is Christmas, Goldberg commented. It is Christmas. Now, what people get crazy about, cause nobody is trying to get rid of Christmasyou cant. Christmas is what it is. This is when it happens. Its alwaystheres Christmas treesalways going to happen. Thats when the conversation took a ridiculous turn, suggesting that if women have the right to display Christmas decorations, they should also have the right to get an abortion. Its the same conversation with a womans right to choose, Goldberg argued. What I do with my body is my right. It is not your right to tell me. The same thing is itsif you believe in Christmas, its not my rightyou know, I grew up andand you know, kids who didnt go to Catholic school had Christmas and theywe never knew what their religions were, but we hung cause it was Christmas holiday. This isnt the first time Goldberg has spoke up in defense of abortion. She once yelled to a group of conservative politicians to get out of my vagina! 
3	Americans Are Ditching Shopping Malls Because They Want Less ThingsBy James Holbrooks On the heels of department store behemoth Macysreporting of a 7.4 percent plunge in revenue for the first quarter of 2016, financial consultant and retail analyst Jan Kniffen told CNBC that falling sales at anchor stores like Macys and JCPenney likely spell doom for a good portion of shopping malls. If you look into the future, not that far, he said on the business program Squawk Box, weve got 1,100 enclosed malls in America. We probably need 700. Even among the malls that survive the coming years, Kniffen predicts that only about 250 will thrive while the rest struggle to keep their doors open. Currently, the U.S. has an estimated 48 square feet of retail space per citizen by far the most on the planet. By comparison, the U.K. who comes in at number two has roughly half the retail space per person. The bottom line, according to Kniffen, is that America is the most over-stored place in the world. Macys poor earnings report comes after a dismal holiday shopping season for the retailer so bad, in fact, that the companycut 4,800 jobs almost immediately after Christmas. But Macys the nations largest department store chain is far from alone in its profit woes. JCPenneyclosed 40 of their 1,060 stores in 2015, leaving 2,250 people out of work. This, afterposting devastating losses in 2013. Kmart, once one of Americas largest retailers, has seen its salesdrop a devastating 67 percent since 2000. At that time, Kmart had nearly 2,200 stores nationwide. Now it has less than 1,000. Gap, another staple of the American shopping mall,announced in late April that it would be shuttering 175 stores after sales dropped an additional 3 percent in March marking the 23rd straight month without revenue growth. Sadly, the list goes on acrossmultiple sectors of the retail economy. But with shopping malls specifically, the disappearance of anchor stores means bad news for all, even those stores that are turning a profit. This is because anchor stores like Macys bring in heavy foot traffic. And to get to the department stores, shoppers have to walk by, and possibly patronize, outlets they may not have otherwise. One of the main culprits behind the steady decline of brick-and-mortar department stores is the Internet. More and more, people are going online to satisfy their shopping needs. But there other major determining factors as well, such as the changing ideas among young people about owning things. A 2014reportsponsored by event management company, Eventbrite, outlined a growing trend with millennials they value experiences over objects. For this group, says the report, happiness isnt as focused on possessions or career status. Living a meaningful, happy life is about creating, sharing and capturing memories earned through experiences that span the spectrum of lifes opportunities. For these reasons, among others, many analysts are predicting that shopping malls once an icon of a robust American economy may soon be a thing of the past. As BBCs Jonathan Glanceyobserved: The mall became a place to hang out as well as to shop, a central part of contemporary U.S. culture and a model for the rest of a world keen on emulating an American way of life.

Image credit: Flickr/Nicholas Eckhart Who needs to go to a social engineering place loaded with cameras and idiots? Bingo! Its no longer safe to be in large crowdsfrom both sides of the law! I disagree; the reason that malls are dying is because we have no excess money to spend frivolously. Who wants to walk around looking at goods that are beyond our reach? Its easy to say, Im not interested in stuff. Its much harder to say, I cant afford it because I cannot find a job. In the past when I needed clothes, Id enjoy going in out of stores and looking through their inventory. Now I find all shopping stressful, because I know I cant afford to buy anything even if I desperately need it. One dollar towards new pants is one dollar less Ill eat with or pay my car repair with. In 2015, 51% of all Americans lived on at least one entitlement program whether social security, unemployment, or food stamps, etc..(of course theyve cut food stamps for single adults since then). 41% of working age Americans either do not have job or only work less than 90 days a year. Who can afford to go to the Mall Anymore!!! Agree: younger folks are deep in debt because many want everything new (young folks in my day got hand me down stuff and were glad to get it). Its some of over fifty crowd and especially the over 65 crowd who are downsizing and only replacing broken appliances or furniture as needed. They dont want to burden their heirs (like I was burdened years back) plus many un cluttering websites like Marie Kondo is motivating people to cut down on clothing, linens, books, memorabilia, paper clutter and other household un used stuff thats taking up space. they realize after donating and doling out stuff to family, they need to stay pared down and quit buying. K mart is useless, zero customer service and lots of low end junk. (used to have nicer stuff) Hope they go under. Kohls is iffy, as their prices are too high for a mid range dept store. yep no new cars when I was a teenyou got an OLD one and fixed it up This hits the nail on the head People arent going to Malls any longer because there are mobs of black teenagers who terrorize the place. and mexicans Nope, its because there are too many people wanting your money and delivering nothing worth while. Dont worry, they will in all probability convert them all into FEMA concentration campslike they are doing the closed for repairs Walmarts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How about fewer things? Agree, listen up retirees, start purging your stuff others dont want, donate to group homes, animal shelters, and charities in your city. My house seems double in size in sometime, since downsizing.. It takes time and is ongoing. A cleaner house beats clutter. Dont leave stuff you dont need for the heirs to clean up. Dont forget the garage and shed either. Please stop flaunting your basic literacy. You might hurt someones feewings. Just like your gender identity, use words the way you feel Less is acceptable for quantity, in post-modern English; sorry Sherlock. Be glad the writer isnt peppering the article with hashtags. When places like JCPenneys Sears, Target homosexuals, shhemales, etc. as well as carry a Kardashian clothing line, they deserve to go out of business. happiness isnt as focused on possessions or career status. Living a meaningful, happy life is about creating, sharing and capturing memories earned through experiences that span the spectrum of lifes opportunities.i.e., Im broke. TOO much cheap useless products from China. Overwhelmed with CRAP. Another reason for the decline in shopping mall sales has been omitted. It is tax policy. Look at the shopping mall parking lots many are still full. This policy is also destroying the Mom and Pop stores who cant compete with the free shipping of the Amazons. When they are done, because this is all happening by design, no one will be independently working for themselves and more jobs will be gone. You will only be able to buy items that the state approves and more people will be dependent on the state handouts to survive. (And yes we are taxed to death. But when they create an un-level playing field look for the reason. Its like the Food Modernization Act. Created to put the last nail in the coffin of independent farmers.) The kids have been indoctrinated to say things like creating and sharing, but when you examine closely most dont live that way. Credit is still flowing. Still no money down loans being handed out for houses. Still high credit card limits for people without jobs and assets. After parents invest $100K-$200K for that stupid college education they double down and send them to graduate school since they cant get a job adding to the debt. So the kids are defaulting at record rates on their tuition loans and have no decent job prospects, and parents have no savings and/or assets as they approach retirement since they re-financed that home to pay for these college experiences. All soon to become debt slaves. All by design. Very sad consequences with reasonable, true arguments. I dont know where you are but Im a professional shopper, so I cover a lot of malls. Most have almost vacant parking lots 80% of the time. Back in the 1980s, Id have problems finding parking spaces on weekday afternoons. Now, even on weekends I never have a problem. They have more traffic on weekends, but they dont equal any weekday in 1984. IMHO part of the problem is that theyve dimmed the interior lighting to save energy money, but due to the designs of malls w/o bright light, they are cold depressing. I now HATE going to most malls same malls that I loved in the 1980s Ive never been spending my own money so its not a matter of being depressed due to my own finances. Its lighting, its poor service, its the fact that all the stores carry mostly the same stuff none of it is well displayed or enticing. Many stores are in a constant mess with racks crowded too close together merchandise on the floors draped over the racks. There were too many mergers. Stores lost their identities, service was cut nobody who works there gives a damn. Simply, do not vote! The parasites have finally sucked so much out of the host that it is dying. Unfortunately for the parasites, they failed to see that when the host dies, theyre not far behind. Hasten the death by spending your money close to home, with small businesses and second-hand shops and Craigslist Americans have been living beyond their paycheck since the 1980s by buying an ever growing number of consumer junk items on credit. As far as the decline of the malls, the situation was not sustainable long-term and the malls are showing this with their decline. At some point the weight of billions of dollars of debt has to be accounted for. 
3	Theres A Plan For Human Population Control - Is It Vaccines?By Catherine J. Frompovich What a question to ask! However, according to a March 2016 paper by Kevin Galalae published in the journal Epidemiology: Open Access titled Turning Nature against Man: The Role of Pandemics, Vaccines and Genetics in the UNs Plan to Halt Population Growth [1], Galalae sets out in his 16-page article whats been going on and summarized in the papers Conclusion, in part: All epidemics and pandemics of the past 30 years are fabrications of the UN system and its partners in crime at the national level for the purpose of lowering births below the magic line of replacement level fertility and, more recently, also for limiting life to an economically acceptable and environmentally sustainable age. [2] Galalae goes on to conclude: The strategy of depopulation has evolved and has been accelerated and amplified. Having exposed the covert chemical, biological, psychosocial and economic methods of population control, and having destroyed our governments cover of secrecy, we have shut down their ability to commit genocide by turning man against man through the misuse of the institutions of state, concealment of vital information, abuse of the rule of law, perversion of science, falsification of facts, misappropriation of public funds, and the debasement of executive powers. [2] While THIS information below probably is the most disturbing of Galalaes conclusions: Vaccines now represent the newest battle line between the 1% and the 99% and between international and individual prerogatives. In the 21st century it is the needle not the bomb that causes death and disease at an unimaginable scale and at an unpredictable cost to the genetic endowment of mankind. But although the weapon has changed the goal remains the same, to stop and reverse our numbers so that by the end of the 21st century everybody will live just as long, just as sterile, and just as sick. The planet will be saved but mankind destroyed. Why do I feel that Galalaes above conclusions are most disturbing? The answer, I feel, is to be found in the fact that most people are proselytized enough to accept, and even believe, either due to political correctness, peer pressure power, or whats rendered as factual media information, that the deliberate injecting of neurotoxins, anti-fertility and sterility agents (polysorbate 80 is one), squalene, foreign DNA, mycoplasmas, and nanoparticles into infants, toddlers, and teensin particularthe future of the human race, is called preventive medical care, which, ironically, is mandated by federal agencies and state laws! Hypothetically, ought it be called eugenics by vaccination needles? The article explains how all Galalae discusses fits in with the increased urgency to accomplish the UNs Sustainable Development Goals plus countless new pathogens that threaten humans. [3] That prompts me to ask these questions: One of the graphics included in the Epidemiology: Open Access article is a global map depicting global health threats in 2016. [4] Missing from the above map is the recently media-hyped Zika virus for which theres now a fast-tracked vaccine in the works. Zika-blamed brain birth defects (microcephaly) realistically may be due more to, and result from, the chemical larvicide Pyriproxyfen [7] used for mosquito control in Brazil, since Zika has been tracked since the 1940s and 50s in Africa with no apparent brain anomalies being recordedonly minor flu-like symptoms [5]until just recently2015. What caused the Zika virus suddenly to become a teratogen, if thats what they want to blame? Was it genetically modified at some point? Or, are toxic chemicals placed in Brazils water supplies to blame? [6] According to Galalaes article, what the New World Order folks probably want to effectuate and implement by using clandestine chemical birth control measures (vaccines) is what Bill Gates [8] so avidly endorses, i.e., using vaccines to reduce the population. The graphic below illustrates that between 2010 and 2050, the smallest demographic is expected to fall between ages 0 to 64, which probably can be accomplished by the more vaccines they can pump into infants, children, and teens, in my opinion, and as Mr. Gates offers with his population control equation in his TED talk. The older folks are those who have not received all the vaccines that the last two generations have been mandated to receive under the guise of herd immunity and school attendance regulations, I offer. Can the projected demographics below also be the compelling reason for all the catch-up vaccines adults and senior citizens now are being mandated to get [13]? Galalaes paper presents some intriguing facts insofar as it states: Under the pretext of curbing the spread of the polio virus from one country to another the WHO gave itself a plausible reason to intensify eradication activities, in other words to mass vaccinate entire populations in places where the total fertility rate is not under control. The countries targeted are all high fertility nations and hotspots of poverty, conflict or environmental degradation: Afghanistan (TFR 5), Cameroon (TFR 4.7), Equatorial Guinea (TFR 5), Ethiopia (4.6), Israel (3.1), Nigeria (5.7), Pakistan (3.7), Somalia (6.6) and the Syrian Arab Republic (3) [25]. On pages 7 and 8 of his thought-provoking article, Galalae presents charts estimating projected declining fertility rates for those countries. However, it should be noted he points out that Brazils national fertility rate is safely below replacement level, while Brazils regional differences are significant. The northeast, which has the poorest and the brownest (62.5%) people in the country, [where the larvicide was sprayed into water supplies] also has significantly higher fertility rates than the rest of the country, approximately 2.4 children per woman compared to only 1.6 in the south where the population is 75% white. [10] [CJF emphasis] Canadian activist and author Kevin Mugur Galalae has engaged in several hunger strikes over the years to bring awareness and influence consciousness on various issuessuccessfully, too. In April 2016 hes been camped out at the Vatican in Rome, Italy, to bring awareness to the human depopulation agenda. You can hear courageous Kevin interviewed on day 14 of his 2016 hunger strike on The Rickie Allen Show.

Tell your children if they will listen. Sadly many young people will refuse to listen and allow more lies, such as the K vaccination to be given to their newborn child. Criminal. Absolutely criminal. if there was such a thing this how i will do it. assuming i have to be secret about it, otherwise just nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, then sen in the robots. either way there should be more research in this kind of things. The paln: I will create an economic and ecological collapse, wich will force people into civil wars, to avoid this i wil release viruses wich will put them in a passive state, then when they come for treatment i will give them vaccines and other stuff that will transmit the virus when they leave back to wherever they came from, even better if there is such a thing as a sleeper virus, the first one altough deadly will be nothing compared with this second virus, but it will be better if they have enough time to get somehwere so as not to be collecting bodies everywhere, then i will make quarantine zones for everyone else. other possibility is not to make it deadly and once you have everyone docil and in the quarantine zone you get to choose those who live and those who die by simply blaming it on the virus. This may indeed be a plan to limit population growth. The more successful appears to be the use of glyphosate. It appears to make the third generation of rats filled with tumors and unable to reproduce. We will experience the effects in 40 to 50 years. I certainly will not be here to see if it works Ive had a number of vaccines through my life and I just did a Cilantro/Algae chelation cleanse (for only about 7 days total) and my mind is much clearer. Less pain and fatigue. Theyre dropping chemicals from chemtrails as well and so really the best option is to do regular juicing cleanses. Youd be surprised at how powerful they are! Just make sure you download some instructions from Integrative medicine. If you dont do it properly, youll chelate too quickly. Guess what, NWO, were on to you, we have solutions. Youll have to come out in the open and get us good luck with that, especially in America!!! You may find that it is YOU who may need to one day go in hiding, not us sheeple. The sheeple are getting smarter and theyre angry!!! 
1	In an appalling incident that has sent shockwaves through the surrounding community, authorities confirmed Thursday that the decayed, dismembered remains of 15 missing hobbits were found in the attic of highly acclaimed film director Peter Jackson. Jackson, 52, was reportedly taken into police custody immediately and is now awaiting charges. At this time, we can confirm that 15 halflings between the ages of 25 and eleventy-one were discovered inside the home of Peter Jackson at approximately 4 p.m. this afternoon, said Wellington Police District Commander Stephen Jones, adding that authorities were initially called when Jacksons neighbors complained of a rotting odor emanating from his home, after which officers conducted a comprehensive search of the property. We eventually found a hidden hatch on the perpetrators ceiling, which was held shut by three heavy-duty locks. Once we opened the door, we came across the victims, already deceased, all of whom had the hair ripped out from the tops of their feet. While stressing that autopsies are still pending, Jones told reporters the hobbits appeared to have been gagged, beaten, and routinely starved, often receiving only one breakfast per day. The bodies were reportedly completely emaciated, while several were missing entire rows of teeth and covered in abrasions consistent with Hithlain rope burns. Upon being apprehended by police, sources said Jackson, who was reportedly nearly incoherent at the time, claimed that he was just preparing a lovely feast for his guests from the Shire and then began shrieking that old Odo Proudfoot is up to all sorts of mischief again. From what weve gathered, Jackson lured these hobbits to his home with promises of pipe-weed, seed cake, and Barlimans Best ale, Jones said. He then knocked them unconscious, stripped them naked, and bound their hands and feet before confining them in the windowless space above his bedroom, where they were kept alive for varying spans of time. We can also confirm at this time that a number of the victims had been sexually assaulted, Jones added. Jones confirmed that alongside the corpses in the attic, authorities found blindfolds, whips, chains, and several Morgul-blades, as well as a long row of severed oversized feet nailed to a wall. Reportedly uncovered in a separate room of the house were hundreds of plastic bags filled with curly brown hobbit hair. Although officials have yet to release the names of all the victims, reports indicated that among those imprisoned in Jacksons home were Shire residents Reginard Brockhouse, 49, Myrtle Underhill, 62, Donnamira Boffin, 57, and Fredegar Smallburrow, 74. Also said to have been found was the body of Daisy Gamgee, a 30-year-old adolescent hobbit from Bag End who was reported missing by her parents this past Mid-Years Day, having been last seen in Bywater at the Green Dragon Inn. Furthermore, sources said the body of one hobbit, whom investigators have yet to identify, was discovered skinned from head to toe and hung by the ankles from a 4-foot-high ceiling beam. We are obviously dealing with an incredibly disturbed individual here, said Jones, adding that Jackson will be investigated in connection with the two bloodied hobbit corpses dumped in the Brandywine River last year, eventually identified as Tolman and Mirabella Grubb of Bree. It is still unclear what drove this man to such heinous and unconscionable acts. We did, however, confiscate a personal journal from his bedside, which will perhaps provide some insight into his mind once it is translated from Adnaic. Residents of Jacksons Wellington neighborhood, meanwhile, expressed their utter shock that such a terrible tragedy could occur right under their noses. Its unthinkable that something like this could happen here, said 38-year-old accountant Allison Gaines, who lives two houses down from Jackson. This is a quiet, friendly neighborhood, and Ive lived here my entire life. I didnt know Peter very well, but he would occasionally wave when I passed him on the sidewalk. In light of the tragedy, candlelight vigils for the victims are reportedly being organized this evening in Bucklebury, Whitfurrows, Hobbiton, and Long Cleeve. Thousands from the four Farthings are expected to be in attendance. That man is an absolute monster who deserves to rot in the dungeons of Dol Guldur for the rest of his life, said 77-year-old Erling Mugwort, speaking to reporters outside his hobbit-hole in Crickhollow. I cant believe we used to actually welcome him here. He would come and share in our songs and stories, and the thought of that makes my stomach churn. He said he loved us, added Mugwort, grimacing as his eyes welled with tears. Hes a very sick man.

2	Obama Announces DEVASTATING Executive Order Right Under All Of Our Noses According to a recent statement by White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest, President Obama is very interested in raising taxes. Of course, he intends to pass his plan through executive action. The president certainly has not indicated an reticence in using his executive authority to try and advance an agenda that benefits middle class Americans, Earnest replied, after he was asked about Senator Bernie Sanders request for Obama to raise $100 billion in taxes. I dont want to leave you with the impression that there is some imminent announcement, he continued. There is not, at least that I know of. But the president has asked his team to examine the array of executive authorities that are available to him to try to make progress on his goals. So I am not in a position to talk in any detail at this point, but the president is very interested in this avenue generally. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Are you SICK of Obama acting more like a dictator than a president? 
1	According to sources at a house party on Campbell Street this evening, local man Brent Williams, who is currently having the time of his life, will soon have to apologize to all 15 people in attendance. Wooooo! shouted Williams in pure elation, less than 24 hours before he will reportedly struggle to make eye contact while apologizing to friends for flirting with their girlfriends, screaming out lyrics to songs, dancing on top of the coffee table, and whipping beer bottles off the back deck. Hey, who wants to do shots? Come on! Party sources later reported seeing Williams doing the worm precariously close to a 43-inch plasma television that will require half his next paycheck to replace. 
3	Liberty Activists And ISIS Will Soon Be Treated As Identical ThreatsBy Brandon Smith My stance has always been that the elites would wait until there was ample social and political distraction; a fog of fear allowing them to move more aggressively against anti-globalists. We are not quite there yet, but the ground is clearly being prepared. Economic uncertainty looms large over our fiscal structure today, more so even than in 2008. Global instability is rampant, with Europe at the forefront as mass migrations of refugees invade wholesale. At best, most of them intend to leach off of the EUs already failing socialist welfare structure while refusing to integrate or respect Western social principles. At worst, a percentage of these migrants are members of ISIS with the goals of infiltration, disruption and coordinated destruction. With similar immigration and transplantation measures being applied to the U.S. on a smaller scale (for now) the ISIS plague will inevitably hit our shores in a manner that will undoubtedly strike panic in the masses. I believe 2016 will be dubbed the year of the terrorist, and ISIS will not be the only terrorists in the spotlight. While scanning the pages of mainstream propaganda machines like Reuters, I came across this little gem of an article, which outlines plans by the U.S. Justice Department to apply existing enemy combatant laws used against ISIS terrorists and their supporters to domestic extremists, specifically mentioning the Bundy takeover of the federal refuge in Burns, Oregon as an example. Extremist groups motivated by a range of U.S.-born philosophies present a clear and present danger, John Carlin, the Justice Departments chief of national security, told Reuters in an interview. Based on recent reports and the cases we are seeing, it seems like were in a heightened environment. Clear and present danger is a vital phrase implemented in this statement from Carlin and he used it quite deliberately. It refers to something called the clear and present danger doctrine or test, a doctrine rarely used except during times of mass panic, such as during WWI and WWII. The doctrine applies specifically to the removal of 1st Amendment rights of free speech during moments of distress. What does this mean, exactly? Clear and present danger is a legal mechanism by which the government claims the right not only to prosecute or destroy enemies of the state, but also anyone who publicly supports those same enemies through speech or writing. Recently, the prospect of allowing the Federal Communications Commission to target and shut down websites related to ISIS has been fielded by congressional representatives. Many people have warned against this as setting a dangerous precedent by which the government could be given free license to censor and silence ANY websites they deem harmful to the public good, even those not tied to ISIS in any way. Of course, overt hatred of Islamic extremism amongst conservatives is at Defcon 1 right now, and with good reason. Unfortunately, this may lead constitutional conservatives, the most stalwart proponents of free speech, to mistakenly set the stage for the erasure of free speech rights all in the name of stopping ISIS activity. The greatest proponents of constitutional liberties could very well become the greatest enemies of constitutional liberties if they fall for the ploy set up by the establishment. The Reuters article outlines the future implications quite plainly: The U.S. State Department designates international terrorist organizations to which it is illegal to provide material support. No domestic groups have that designation, helping to create a disparity in charges faced by international extremist suspects compared to domestic ones. It has been applied in 58 of the governments 79 Islamic State cases since 2014 against defendants who engaged in a wide range of activity, from traveling to Syria to fight alongside Islamic State to raising money for a friend who wished to do so. Prosecutors can bring material support terrorism charges against defendants who arent linked to groups on the State Departments list, but they have only done so twice against non-jihadist suspects since the law was enacted in 1994. The law, which prohibits supporting people who have been deemed to be terrorists by their actions, carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison. The Justice Department goes on to explain that they are exploring options to make material support charges more applicable to domestic extremists. So what constitutes material support? Well, as mentioned earlier, John Carlin just told us. His use of the phrase clear and present danger denotes that 1st Amendment speech will be restricted, ostensibly because some speech will be labeled material support of terrorist organizations. The liberty movement, likely in the near future, is about to be outwardly defined by the establishment as a terrorist movement, and those who support it through speech will be designated as material supporters of said terrorism. To be utterly clear, this could apply to any and everyone who promotes anti-government sentiments online, and will likely be aimed more prominently at liberty analysts and journalists. The argument for this move is rather humorous in my view bureaucrats and others complain that it is not fair that Islamic terrorists are being treated more harshly than white rural domestic extremists and that material support laws should be enforced against everyone equally. Yes, thats right, the 1st Amendment is under threat because the Justice Department does not want to appear racist. At least, that is their public excuse Im not sure whether it is depressing or hilariously ironic that the U.S. government (along with many other governments) is preparing the groundwork for prosecution of liberty activists for material support of terrorism when it is the government that has been proven time and again to be by far the most generous material supporter of terrorist organizations. Will this all take place in a vacuum? Of course not. Something terrible is brewing. Another Oklahoma City-style bombing, perhaps. Or a standoff gone horribly awry. The standoff in Oregon continues without Ammon Bundy and is about to get worse in the next week according to my information (you will see what I mean). The point is, the narrative is being finalized in preparation for whatever trigger events may be in store, and that narrative closely associates ISIS with liberty activists as being in the same category. As law enforcement experts confront domestic militia groups, sovereign citizens who do not recognize government authority, and other anti-government extremists, they also face a heightened threat from Islamic extremists like the couple who carried out the Dec. 2 shootings in San Bernardino, California. This is why I have consistently argued against giving any extra-judicial powers to our already bloated federal system. I am a staunch opponent of Islamic immigration and terrorism, but some people are so desperate to fight one monster that they are willing to give unlimited powers to another monster thinking it will give their minds ease. These people are fools, and they are putting the rest of us at risk. If you want to fight ISIS, then fight them yourself. Do not give the same government that helped create ISIS and then deliberately transplanted them to Europe and the U.S. even more legal authority over our lives to supposedly stop ISIS. This would be absurd. In the meantime, I would point out that regardless of how the federal government wishes to label us, the liberty movement could not be more different from the Islamic State: 1) We dont enjoy covert funding and training from the government at large as ISIS does. (Though according to leftists, we all take our marching orders from the Koch Brothers). 2) Most of us were born in this country and are rather attached to it. 3) ISIS fights to dismantle traditional Western values. We fight to restore traditional Western values, and we will not only fight ISIS but also cultural Marxists and collectivists who share the same disdain for liberty. 4) Many of us are far better trained than ISIS goons so, if anything, we are a more severe threat to the enemies of free society. (We actually look down our sights when we shoot rather than hidingbehind cars with the rifle over our head and squatting like a constipated dog. We can also operate their AK-47s better than they can). 5) We are as opposed to Sharia Law as we are to martial law. In fact, we see them as essentially the same unacceptable circumstance. 6) We dont cannibalize our enemies. (Who would want to take a bite out of Henry Kissingers spleen?) 7) We might look down on the insane ramblings of todays feminists, but at least we would not stone them, enforce female circumcision, then rape them, then throw acid in their faces, then slap a hijab on them and take away their drivers licenses. So maybe, just maybe, we toxic masculine conservative barbarians arent as bad as they seem to think we are. 8) We understand that black pajamas are not the best camouflage, but ISIS may have better fashion sense than we do. 9) Our beards are all-American. Their beards are just plain creepy. 10) They fight to be martyred. We fight to win. When all is said and done, who is the greater threat to you and your freedoms? A psychotic theocrat that has taken his religion so far into the forbidden zone that any evil, no matter how heinous, is justified through the circular logic of zealotry? The criminal government that funded that psycho, trained him, slapped a rocket launcher in his hands and then gave him a free plane ride to your favorite shopping mall? Or, some weirdo that stores lots of food and gas masks in his basement and every once in a while talks to you about 9/11? Come on, think about it You can read more from Brandon Smith at his site Alt-Market.com.

You can contact Brandon Smith at: brandon@alt-market.com Must be a joke but its actually another distraction. ISIS isnt a threat to the amish but liberty selfnewss may very well be. The Amish have always been considered less than patriotic by mainstream politicos. I find it both depressing AND hilariously ironic. Also mind-numbingly ridiculous and whatever the word is for the urge to bang my head against the wall repeatedly. Insanity-inducingly retarded. Yeah thats it. Rulers throughout the ages have known one of the most effective ways to deal with troublesome groups is to eliminate the leadership. The lawnmower always seeks the tallest blade of grass. I agree with your first statement, but my lawnmower actually just hacks the legs of of any blade of grass it comes across Liberty activists = armed criminals,seeking to take over public lands. Ranchers have destroyed 90% of riparian corridors in the West and have run roughshod over the sacred lands of the native Americans. These liberty activists were not wanted by the locals, the natives, or many for whom they claimed they were fighting. Civil disobedience with weapons is a contradiction in terms. Well, its already established that many of the so-called activists were actually crisis actors and/or government stooges trying to stir things up. Indeed, the ranchers didnt didnt ask, but they are NOT the people responsible for the things you claim. Furthermore, per the Constitution (although it seems pretty null and void at this time), the Federal government does NOT, nor can they, own that or any land outside of Washington, D.C., and what forts and ports the States will allow. Of course, seeing how all of these constructs (Federal Government, State Government, etc.) are artificial and defy Natural Law, I say to heck with it. This is one of those fights, whether artificial or not, that needs to play out and see where the chips lie. The government is definitely overstepping its bounds; Im not so sure on the ranchers part, I dont really know enough about it (other than what both the MSM and alternative media spout, and both have agendas). The only thing that really concerns me, and thats in relation to this article, is my ability to think and say what I want to say, regardless of whether someone else agrees with it or not, or whether they have hurt feelings or not. If I disagree with a person, a corporation, or government policy, I want to know that I wont be systematically erased/disappeared/suicided just because my view might be contrary or dissenting. Rights are NOT granted by the goverment, indeed, they are given by the Creator, and this applies to ALL men, not JUST citizens of the United States of America, Inc. Peace. It is NOT well established,nor is it illegal for the Federal government to own land. I refuse to read any more since you are begging the question with outrageous claims for which all arguments proposed have been roundly debunked. Natural law is a human invention. What matters is the truth. You provide zero evidence for a series of claims, which means they can be dismissed without evidence. You are such a Statist troll, every post you make, its unbelievable. Read the Constitution. It spells out clearly what the Federal government can own for land and what it cannot. I cannot help it if you are too lazy to read the Constitution yourself. Get off your statist, communist butt and READ the paper that is supposed to be the heart of our country. Natural Law is a God-made invention, all else is man-made. I find it amusing when people destroy their own argument by using personal attacks rather than evidence. ARTICLE IV, SECTION 3, CLAUSE 2 When cattle go to the riparian corridors to drink, they are very destructive and 90% of the Western riparian corridors have been harmed. I will quote an excerpt which highlights the damage done and the welfare costs of ranching on public lands. After the public gets finished paying for public-lands grazing in lost fish, wildlife, plants, soil, and water, it gets to pay for it again in dollars. According to the General Accounting Office, 10 federal agencies lost $123 million administering grazing in fiscal 2004. On average, an animal unit month (AUM)the amount of forage a cow and her calf supposedly can consume in a monthcosts ranchers $1.79 on public land and $13.30 on private land. Meanwhile, the public buys ranchers cattle guards, water troughs, water pipes, and wildlife-killing fences on its rangeland; it hires contractors to rip up its native plant communities and replace them with alien grasses favored by alien bovines but hurtful to its wildlife; it hires predator-control agents to shoot, trap, and poison its native mammals that might eat livestock; and it hires pest-control agents to poison its prairie dogs because ranchers imagine they compete with cattle. This bizarre system, known by its critics as welfare ranching ,Livestock are the main source of nonpoint water pollution in the West and the main reason 80 percent of the regions fishes and 90 percent of its grassland birds are declining. Although riparian corridors comprise only 1.5 percent of public land, 80 percent have been damaged by cattle. biololgicaldiversity.org reports: Despite these costs, livestock grazing continues on state and federal lands throughout the arid West. Livestock grazing is promoted, protected and subsidized by federal agencies on approximately 270 million acres of public land in the 11 western states. Federal-lands livestock grazing enjoys more than $100 million annually in direct subsidies; indirect subsidies may be three times Cattle destroy native vegetation, damage soils and stream banks, and contaminate waterways with fecal waste. After decades of livestock grazing, once-lush streams and riparian forests have been reduced to flat, dry wastelands; once-rich topsoil has been turned to dust, causing soil erosion, stream sedimentation and wholesale elimination of some aquatic habitats; overgrazing of native fire-carrying grasses has starved some western forests of fire, making them overly dense and prone to unnaturally severe fires. Natural law is a theory, as is the existence of a Creator who invents laws. Where is your evidence is is anything but a human-made theory seeking to claim a divine origin for human laws. Lets not forget, Brother, our enemy are only human. And, they are also cowards. At the moment boundaries are being tested around the world as to the human response to a situation, such as financial meltdown. If these cowards have any advantage it is organization and a fearful population. If people could only understand that death is nothing to fear, then, we would hold the true power Indeed. its why, when I see all this cop bashing (Im no fan of the boys in blue), I have to remember that theyre human, too, and only responding the way they were (poorly) trained. What would Lucifer do if he wanted to create social discord and have the people at odds with each other? Answer: exactly what we are witnessing. But we get to choose which Lucifer that will do it. They will turn friend against friend. If you are an activist your circle of friends should be VERY small. This wont end well for many of us truthers but fight we must We also dont force little girls, our daughters and grand daughters, that we are supposed to be defending and protecting, into combat duty to do our fighting for us. It is dishonorable, un-American, cowardly, shameful, embarrassing and stupid. Contact congress and tell them its political suicide and is not going to happen in our or their lifetime regardless of what kind of law they pass. If Rambo Jane wants to volunteer then thats her freedom and the governments problem but Real Americans Do Not Allow the drafting of their little girls to be sacrificed as cannon fodder. NOT GONNA HAPPEN, NEVER, FORGET ABOUT IT! So it is fine to submit young Americans to involuntary servitude in the service of their countrys military-intelligence complex as long as they have external plumbing? Although, for the most part, I agree wholeheartedly, I think the only people that should go to war, at least go to war first are the people that want to make us go to war in the first placecongressmen and the POTUS. Watch how quickly they WONT go to war. Problem solved. Nonetheless, war is STUPID, no matter what war is it. As a young, brainwashed youth I enlisted in the USN, desperate at the time for a better life than I had, during the late 80s and early 90s. Now, as a full-fledged father and husband, with my eyes opened a little wider than when I was a teenager, I understand the implications of war and see through the curtains to the men pulling the levers. Well said, Brother! Politicians all round the world need to take notice that there are millions of us who will not lay down and take it! I keep saying on these threads I would rather die fighting as a free man than die a coward slave the these pack of turds What if ISIS is the liberty activists of the countries that our military unconstitutionally and unlawfully attacked? Great Read ! Well only be on the list until Jan 2017 so not to worry patriots! Hi there, I live in Germany and know what I am talking about. The percentage of real refugees as opposed to leachers is about 1:10. That is the problem. Nobody here would mind to help people actually fleeing from Syria. But what about the other 90 percent that come here to do just that: have a free lunch? First, let me say, I love your name:) 
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? 
1	Following the unprompted remarks he made over his shoulder, an unidentified man currently riding the elevator with Regent Business Solutions coworkers Joseph Roper and Adam McIntosh is apparently now in on the conversation, sources confirmed Monday. Oh, Western Barbecue? I went there last week, actually. Great place, said the anonymous individual, who is now, evidently, an active participant in the dialogue, and who will continue to offer his thoughts and reactions throughout the discourse until the elevator reaches Regents offices on the seventh floor. Youve gotta try the brisket. Best in the city, if you ask me. At press time, after Roper and McIntosh had exited at their floor, the unnamed man was seen pressing the button to hold the elevator door open while relaying his plans for the upcoming weekend. 
1	Featuring brief career summaries and estimated net worths of some of the most successful and prominent leaders in business, Forbes magazine published Thursday its annual list of the worlds 100 Most Punchable CEOs. Based on criteria such as their scope of influence, public image, annual income, and general physical appearance, the 2014 list provides readers with a numbered ranking of top corporate executives from around the world rated by how gratifying it would be to nail them with a solid kidney shot or a stiff jab to the mouth. This years list features pioneering and influential executives from a diverse range of industries, all of whom are pretty much asking to be slugged, slapped, shoved, or tripped right as they walk into an important board meeting, said Forbes editor Randall Lane, adding that the 100 CEOs run businesses collectively worth trillions of dollars and all fully deserve a sharp elbow right in the solar plexus that leaves them doubled forward and gasping for air. As with every years rankings, we sat down and really delved into the question at hand: Which international business leaders would we most want to see frantically clutching their noses in pain as blood streams down onto their starched white Italian shirts? The Forbes editorial board considered hundreds of candidates, and it was frankly very difficult to narrow down the list to just 100 names, Lane continued. But were confident that as readers page through the bios and look at the shit-eating grins on these fuckers, theyll want to knee every goddamn one of them right in the gut. Oracle CEO Larry Ellison topped the Forbes Most Punchable list for the second year running, followed closely by BPs Bob Dudley, Amazons Jeff Bezos, General Electrics Jeff Immelt, AOLs Tim Armstrong, and Rupert Murdoch of News Corp. Lane told reporters the overall list includes executives from finance, technology, energy, media, and pharmaceuticals, stressing that the selected CEOs all have extensive influence in the worlds of business and politics and are each in dire need of a firm smack to the back of the head just as theyre about to sip from a mug of hot coffee. According to Lane, there is very little separating the top industrialists on the list, all of whom it would be equally satisfying to either uppercut square in the jaw, pull in by the tie and clobber in the side of the face with a closed fist or glass paperweight, or kick down a flight of stairs and gleefully watch as their $1,200 leather briefcase is sent flying wildly into the air. Forbes also highlighted Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein with a special three-page spread, arguing that the 59-year-old capitalist is practically begging to be held down on the ground and have his face rubbed in a pile of dog shit while he frantically flails his arms and screams. Weve been seeing a continuing trend over the last decade of younger and younger CEOs whom youd love to just pin down with a knee to the chest, grab by the wrists, and force to hit themselves in their own face, said Lane, noting that 29-year-old Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg jumped seven spots from last years list after Forbes editors imagined tying his hands behind his back, holding him up by that dumb fucking sweatshirt he always wears, and mercilessly pummeling him for 20 minutes straight. There were a few up-and-coming names who unfortunately didnt make the cut this time around, but dont be surprised if by this time next year youre smiling widely at the thought of coldcocking them so hard their eyes get all puffy and stay swollen shut for days. Just one free shot that you can put all your weight into, added Lane, closing his eyes while slowly following through with an imaginary haymaker. Right in the fucking face. Lane confirmed that all 100 CEOs would also be included on Forbes forthcoming general list of the worlds Most Punchable People, which will be roughly 80,000 names long. 
3	Greece Warns of Possible Default on June 5th; Moodys Warns of a Deposit FreezeBy Michael Snyder Of course it wont technically be a default according to IMF rules for another 30 days after that, but without a doubt news that Greece cannot pay will send shockwaves throughout the financial world. At that point, those holding Greek bonds will start to panic as they realize that they might not get paid as well. All over Europe, there are major banks that are holding large amounts of Greek debt and derivatives that are related to the performance of Greek debt. If something is not done to avert disaster at the last moment, a default by Greece could be the spark that sets off a major European financial crisis this summer. As I discussed the other day, neither the EU nor the IMF have given any money to Greece since August 2014. So now the Greek government is just about out of money, and without any new loans they will not be able to pay back the old loans that are coming due. In fact, things are so bad at this point that the Greek government is openly warning that it will default on June 5th Greece cannot make an upcoming payment to the International Monetary Fund on June 5 unless foreign lenders disburse more aid, a senior ruling party lawmaker said on Wednesday, the latest warning from Athens it is on the verge of default. Prime Minister Alexis Tsiprass leftist government says it hopes to reach a cash-for-reforms deal in days, although European Union and IMF lenders are more pessimistic and say talks are moving too slowly for that. Of course this is all part of a very high stakes chess game. The Greeks believe that the Germans will back down when faced with the prospect of a full blown European financial crisis, and the Germans believe that the Greeks will eventually be feeling so much pain that they will be forced to give in to their demands. So with each day we get closer and closer to the edge, and the Greeks are trying to do their best to let everyone know that they are not bluffing. Just today, a spokesperson for the Greek government came out and declared that unless there is a deal by June 5th, the IMFwont get any money Greek officials now point to a race against the clock to clinch a deal before payments totaling about 1.5 billion euros ($1.7 billion) to the IMF come due next month, starting with a 300 million euro payment on June 5. Now is the moment that negotiations are coming to a head. Now is the moment of truth, on June 5, Nikos Filis, spokesman for the ruling Syriza partys lawmakers, told ANT1 television. If there is no deal by then that will address the current funding problem, they wont get any money, he said. But the Germans know that the Greeks desperately need more money and cant last much longer. The Greek banking system is so close to collapse that Moodys just downgraded it again and warned thatthere is a high likelihood of an imposition of capital controls and a deposit freeze in the months ahead The outlook for the Greek banking system is negative, primarily reflecting the acute deterioration in Greek banks funding and liquidity, says Moodys Investors Service in a new report published recently. These pressures are unlikely to ease over the next 12-18 months and there is a high likelihood of an imposition of capital controls and a deposit freeze. The new report: Banking System Outlook: Greece, is now available on www.moodys.com. Moodys subscribers can access this report via the link provided at the end of this press release. Moodys notes that significant deposit outflows of more than 30 billion since December 2014 have increased banks dependence on central bank funding. In our view, the banks are likely to remain highly dependent on central bank funding, as ongoing uncertainty regarding Greeces support programme continues to compromise depositors confidence. Unfortunately, when things really start going crazy in Greece people might be faced with much more than just frozen bank accounts. As I wrote about just a few days ago, there is a very strong possibility that we could actually see Cyprus-style wealth confiscation implemented in Greece when the banks collapse. In fact, the Greek government is already talking about the possibilityof a special tax on banking transactions Athens is promoting the idea of a special levy on banking transactions at a rate of 0.1-0.2 percent, while the governments proposal for a two-tier value-added tax depending on whether the payment is in cash or by card has met with strong opposition from the countrys creditors. A senior government official told Kathimerini that among the proposals discussed with the eurozone and the International Monetary Fund is the imposition of a levy on bank transactions, whose exact rate will depend on the exemptions that would apply. The aim is to collect 300-600 million euros on a yearly basis. Fee wont include ATM withdrawals, transactions up to EU500; in this case Greek govt projects EU300m-EU600m annual revenue from measure. Sadly, most people living in North America (which is most of my audience) does not really care much about what happens on the other side of the world. But they should care. If Greece defaults and the Greek banking system collapses, stocks and bonds will crash all over Europe. Many believe that such a crash can be contained to just Europe, but that is really just wishful thinking. In addition, the euro would plummet dramatically, which would cause substantial financial problems all over the planet. As I recently explained, the euro is headed to parity with the U.S. dollar and then it is going to go below parity. Before it is all said and done, the euro is going to all-time lows. Of course the U.S. dollar is eventually going to totally collapse as well, but that comes later and that is a story for another day. According to the Bank for International Settlements, 74 trillion dollars in derivatives are directly tied to the value of the euro, the value of the U.S. dollar and the value of other global currencies. So if you believe that what is happening in Greece cannot have massive ramifications for the entire global financial system, you are dead wrong. What is happening in Greece is exceedingly important, and it is time for all of us to start paying attention. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

1	Stressing a responsibility to educate the public on the risks involved with participating in the sport, the NFL released a groundbreaking new study Thursday revealing the high risk of concussions in youth soccer. As our research confirms, soccer poses an unparalleled threat of serious concussions to young athletes, and the rate of traumatic brain injuries stemming from on-field collisions and other incidents is becoming a very real cause for concern, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told reporters at a morning press conference, citing findings in the league-funded study that confirmed that players as young as 7 frequently suffer concussion symptoms like blurred vision, dizziness, and loss of cognitive function as a direct consequence of their involvement in youth soccer games. The risks are unfortunately as clear as day. You have young kids running around at top speeds, heading a ball multiple times per game, and wearing virtually no protective equipment at all. Its no wonder that weve now seen countless instances of concussion-related trauma that could have been prevented had the victim never stepped onto the field in the first place. Simply put, no parent should allow his or her child to play this violent, hazardous game. According to sources, the NFLs latest study comes on the heels of similar papers issued earlier this year that illustrate the stark dangers inherent in such sports as basketball, baseball, hockey, tennis, volleyball, all track and field events, and golf. 
2	Texas Border Patrol Finally Gets THIS And The Mexican Cartel Is Scared For Their Lives According to recent reports, a Customs and Border Protection helicopter was shot down on the Mexican side of the border this month. Of course, we heard little of it in the mainstream media. A story like this wouldnt fit their political agenda. Now, the CBP is getting the machinery they need to help protect America from dangerous Mexican Cartels. Thank goodness for Blackhawk helicopters. According to reports, the CBP helicopter was shot down on June 5th in the middle of a drug bust. US Border Patrol agents were attempting to intercept a drug load, one Border Patrol officer told reporters. A law enforcement chopper was assisting Border Patrol agents. The chopper received gunfire from the Mexican side of the border. The chopper had to do an emergency landing. Our lives are at great risk and political forces often attempt to portray the border areas as safe and okay, Garza concluded. Clearly, that is not the case. 
2	BREAKING: Chaos Erupts At Gas Station, At Least One Police Officer Shot Under Obamas watch, a dangerous war against American law enforcement has broken outand he seems to be doing nothing but fueling the flames. Now, yet another police officer has been shot in the line of duty, and the media has very little to say about it. The officer was shot early Friday morning at a gas station in Mobile, Alabama. WHNT reported that the incident occurred after a short chase. Ultimately, both the police officer and his suspect were shot after a suspected drug deal. Witnesses report that the suspect in question was meeting clients behind a Waffle House restaurant when undercover cops spotted him and turned their lights on. He tried to escape on a motorcycle, but was chased down to the gas station. The officer was shot twice, and was rushed to University of South Alabama Medical Center. Fortunately, doctors are expecting him to make a full recovery. The suspect is also at the hospital, in critical condition. What do you think? Does law enforcement deserve our respect and protection from the government? 
2	BREAKING: House Launching Investigation Of Obama For Illegal Terrorist Swap Ever since the White House broke the secret release of five terrorists from Guantanamo Bay, questions have been raised about President Obamas intentions. Obama was, after all, required to give 30 days notice, which he ignored. Now, many are wondering to what end Obama will fuel his personal agenda. As a response, Paul Ryan has promised that the White House will launch an investigation into the circumstances leading up to the exchange. According to several sources, the prisoner exchange was not only illegal, it also provided material support to the terrorist organizations. According to a report by Politico, Representative Paul Ryan claimed that Republicans will investigate the nature and details of the deal Obama struck to release Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. Im part of the IRS investigation, Ryan told a room of around 600 people, Weve got the Benghazi investigation, the Veterans Affairs investigation, and were going to do an investigation about this troop transfer with the Taliban. So weve got a lot on our plate. Although it is clear that Obama broke the law, the question remains as to whether it can be argued that he gave material support to a terrorist organization. If the President is found guilty of aiding the enemy, he could face up to 10 years in prison, according to law. What do you think? 
2	You Will Now Be Forced To Pay For Illegal Immigrant Transgenders Medical Bills [SEE DETAILS] Over the past few months, the nation has broken into a heated debate about equality issues for transgender men and women in this country. First it was the controversial bathroom policy issued by President Barack Obama, and now this. According to reports, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is planning to spend a ridiculous amount of money to build a separate facility for illegal transgender immigrants. The new detention center is set to open in Alvarado, Texas in November of this year. The facility is expected to house about 700 detainees, including a separate 36-bed unit for transgender individuals, an ICE spokesman told Fusion magazine. According to ICE, each detainee will have their own detention plan, including things as extravagant as clothing options, hygiene practices, medical care and housing assignments. The ICE estimates that there are approximately 65 transgender women in their custody ON ANY GIVEN NIGHT. What do you think of these reports? Are there better places to spend the tax dollars of hardworking Americans? 
2	Armed Man Holds Brutal Sign, Muslims Call FBI Because They Are Offended Muslims throughout the country were outraged after the image of this man, taken outside of an Augusta, Georgia military recruitment center went viral. The armed man is showing a sign that reads, SUPPORT AND DEFEND OUR TROOPS FROM ISLAMIC SAVAGES. The man is clearly standing up for the men and women defending our country, who have been banned from carrying weapons while on the job. The move comes after the tragic Chattanooga shootings. The man in the photograph is Jim Stachowiak, and he claims that he came armed so that he could protect those who could not protect themselves. As it turns out, someone from the Muslim community reached out to the FBI to report the stand. What do you think? Do you support Stachowiak? 
1	In an emotionally charged press conference Monday, crazed Palestinian gunman Faisal al Hamad expressed frustration over the stereotyping of his people. Faisal al Hamad, seen here shrieking anti-U.S. slogans, says that 'not every crazed Palestinian gunman is exactly alike.' 'As a crazed Palestinian gunman, I feel hurt by the negative portrayal of my people in the media,' said al Hamad, 31, a Hebron-area terrorist maniac. 'None of us should have to live with stereotyping and ignorance.' He then began screaming and firing into a busload of Israeli schoolchildren. 'It hurts that in this supposedly enlightened day and age, people still make assumptions about other people,' al Hamad said. 'We should not rely on simple generalizations. Each crazed Palestinian gunman is an individual.' Al Hamad said that he himself has often been unfairly stereotyped. 'Any time I enter a crowded temple with fully loaded AK-47s in both hands, people just assume I'm going to open fire,' he said. 'That really hurts.' 'Yes, I sometimes do gun people down in the name of the One True God,' he noted. 'But there is so much more to me.' Several weeks ago, al Hamad was again the victim of stereotyping during a vacation he took with his family to Washington, D.C. 'When we arrived at the airport in Washington, security guards detained us for more than 12 hours, just because I had 140 pounds of plastic explosives strapped to my chest,' al Hamad said. 'Do you think they would have called the FBI if I weren't a crazed Palestinian who's on their Ten Most Wanted List? I don't think so.' When this truck blew up in Jerusalem on Yom Kippur last year, Israeli officials suspected PLO involvement. 'That really hurt that they would just think that right off the bat,' al Hamad said. Al Hamad said his vacation was ruined when federal agents seized a crate of chemical weapons he had brought into the U.S. as a gift for a friend in New York. 'I explained to them that the weapons were a birthday present for the blind cleric Sayid al Farouq, a good friend of mine from high school,' he said. 'But they did not believe me and took me into federal custody for nine weeks. Again, it's a case of people jumping to conclusions on the basis of skin color. And that can be very frustrating.' According to al Hamad, stereotypes against crazed Palestinian gunmen don't work because they don't take into account the vast variety of proud histories and diverse cultures among them. 'There are so many different kinds of crazed Palestinian gunmen. Each of us has our own unique reasons and motivations for our bus bombings and suicide missions,' he said. 'No two fundamentalist agendas are alike.' Al Hamad also stressed the importance of understanding and celebrating the cultural differences between crazed Palestinian gunmen and non-crazed, non-Palestinian non-gunmen. 'All the different peoples of the world have something special to offer each other,' he said. 'Our diversity is our greatest strength. Let's not make a weakness out of that strength.' To emphasize his point, al Hamad fired into a crowd, killing nine. 'I'm proud to be a crazed Palestinian gunman, obviously,' he said in between shouts of anti-imperialist slogans. 'But I'm an individual first. I'm me. Die, Yankee infidel pig swine!' 
1	Calling the pictorial disgusting and very unsettling, millions of Americans were reportedly deeply disturbed by the semi-nude photos of 78-year-old Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig in ESPN The Magazines annual Body Issue last week, sources confirmed Friday. Getting a glimpse at the incredible physiques of athletes like Colin Kaepernick, Kerri Walsh Jennings, and Sydney Leroux was really cool, but turning the page to see Bud Selig standing there buck naked and shielding his genitals with his left hand was, I have to say, a bit much, San Diego resident Jason Dawson, 31, said of the three-page spread, which contained strategically shot pictures of a naked Selig from multiple angles covering himself only with an MLB baseball cap and a catchers mitt. To be honest, it pretty much ruined the entire issue for me. While undoubtedly put off by the images of Selig, many Americans admitted to reporters that the feature was far easier to stomach than last years controversial double-page spread of completely nude Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland lying in the spread-eagle position at home plate. 
1	By wearing their brightly colored orange-and-black tiger-print uniforms during a victory over the Steelers, the division-leading 7-2 Cincinnati Bengals made their team gear appear far less stupid Sunday. 'The Bengals uniforms during the '90s, and the ones from their 11-loss season in 2008, looked really stupid, like they were wearing carpet ripped straight out of a discount strip club,' analyst Chris Mortenson said during an ESPN radio broadcast Monday. 'But now that they're on top of the AFC North, you might even go so far as to say that their uniforms are classic. I'm even starting to think that the one dumb striped panel going down the leg isn't so godawful anymore.' When discussing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' current red-and-pewter jerseys versus their old orange-and-white uniforms, however, Mortenson concluded that, in either version, the team 'has always looked like shit.'

2	Welfare Leech Finds Out The Government Cancels Her Checks, And Then This Happens [VIDEO] Over the past year, weve seen a rise in the actions being taken by state governments to reduce welfare abuse. Measures are being implemented to protect against those who feel that they are entitled to sit back and enjoy a free ride. The problem of welfare leeches is not unique to the United States. Weve seen it in many countries that have public assistance programs, and very little resources set aside to regularly vet them. Now, a new video from Australia is going viral, showing a young woman throwing a tantrum after she was told by the local welfare office that she will no longer be receiving assistance. The woman blames Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott directly responsible for the action, and proceeds to go on a cursing spell to reporters. Through the obscenities, were able to piece together that woman is concerned about how she will be paying her rent. Although, judging by their appearances, both she and the man she is with look like they are capable of obtaining and holding employment. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Are you tired of people abusing the system?

3	Turmeric Beats Ibuprofen for Arthritis of the KneeSayer Ji Last year, in a Lancet review on the topic, ibuprofen was identified to be as toxic to the heart as the banned anti-inflammatory drug Vioxx, likely contributing to tens of thousands of deaths from cardiovascular disease each year. This is one of the reasons why evidence-based natural alternatives are extremely important, especially when they involve culinary spices that are already known to be safe, affordable, accessible and time-tested. Titled, Efficacy and Safety of Curcuma domestica Extracts in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis,[i] the multi-center trial was conducted with 109 patients with primary knee osteoarthritis who were randomized to receive either ibuprofen 800 mg day ibuprofen (55 patients) or 2,000 mg turmeric (Curcuma domestica) per day (52 patients), for 6 weeks. The ibuprofen was divided into 2 doses of 400mg daily, and the turmeric into 4 doses of 500 mg daily. The researchers measured pain on level walking, pain on stairs, and functions of knee assessed by time spent during 100-m walk and going up and down a flight of stairs, as the primary outcomes. While the researchers acknowledged the limitations of their study no double-blind protocol, the need for a higher dose in the placebo group, and the need for a larger patient sample size they concluded that C. domestica extracts seem to be efficacious and safe for the treatment of knee OA similarly to ibuprofen. They also pointed out that while some patients in the ibuprofen group rated themselves as having little satisfaction or no satisfaction (10.9% and 2.2%, respectively), not a single patient in the turmeric group reported being unsatisfied. Finally, they observed a distinct trend towards a greater effect in patients receiving turmeric an ibuprofen. The form of turmeric used in the study was manufactured by the Thai Government Pharmaceutical Organization. Its preparation was described as follows: The primary curcuminoid known to science is curcumin, and is the polyphenol in turmeric that gives the spice its radiant golden hue. Turmeric powder contains approximately 2-4% curcumin by weight. Curcumin has been studied to have over 600 health benefits.

1	Citing the disappointing prospect of high-level pitching duels, clutch hitting, and great defense, the American baseball-watching populace this week registered its overwhelming disapproval of 2010's excellent World Series matchup between the Texas Rangers and the San Francisco Giants. According to baseball fans, the last thing they ever wanted was a season culminating in two terrific, deserving teams playing top-notch baseball. 'I don't want to watch a World Series between two teams that are so goodno, greatthat they beat the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies,' Richmond, VA resident Tom Hallorin, 36, told reporters, echoing millions of his fellow citizens. 'I want to relish a losing performance from a team that I absolutely hate or, failing that, endure a championship win from a team that I hate in order to justify being even angrier at their organization, their players, and their fans.' 'That's why I watch baseball and that's why I watch sports,' Hallorin added. 'To me, two evenly matched, extraordinarily talented teams participating in what could be one of the most thrilling World Series in a long time sounds like a total waste of time.' According to fans, several factors have combined to make this year's potentially unforgettable Fall Classic a 'real bummer.' These include the unprecedented energy and passion the Rangers and Giants bring to the diamond; the exceptional management of both organizations; the fact that none of the players on their respective rosters is CC Sabathia, Derek Jeter, or Ryan Howard, or wears a New York Yankees or Philadelphia Phillies uniform; and the way the cohesive play, healthy organizational culture, and team-oriented style of baseball of the two contenders makes them deserving representatives of the American and National Leagues. In addition, the nation confirmed it would be even more dissatisfied if this potentially spectacular World Series lives up to its promise, goes seven games, and ends on a Josh Hamilton home run. 'The Tim Lincecum versus Cliff Lee thing could be really riveting to watch, and I suppose seeing the managers use gritty, methodical small ball to manufacture runs could be entertaining if you like that sort of thing,' 27-year-old Los Angeles resident Mike Lester said. 'But I don't want well-played World Series baseball that keeps me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I want the teams I expected, and the players I expected playing bitterly to the outcome I expected.' 'I'd rather watch the Cubs play the White Sox,' Aaron Morrison, 32, said. 'Because I need a stupid thing like both teams being from Chicago to get me interested. At least that World Series matchup would have a really good gimmick, and not have to rely on anything as lame as respectable athletes playing really great baseball.' According to a New York Times/CBS poll, 54 percent of the country called the potency of the Rangers lineup and its hitters' ability to change the complexion of a game with one swing 'a total killjoy,' 42 percent said they would rather watch the Boston Red Sox beat up on a small market team than watch Cliff Lee continue his Koufax-like postseason run, and 84 percent said the only way they would watch a single game of what is sure to be the most exciting baseball of the year would be if 79-year-old Willie Mays suited up to start in center field. When asked how they felt about the depth and complexity of both teams' bullpens adding another fascinating element to the World Series, a majority of those polled were silent for approximately seven seconds before hanging up the phone. 'The worst thing about this World Series is that with the outstanding ability of the Giants and Rangers to hit, run, and field, and with no real asshole to root against, it just feels like a celebration of baseball,' Paul Rockwell of Uniontown, PA told reporters. 'And that sucks. Do you know why that sucks? Because I'm a horrible, shallow person, and while I like to think of myself as a fan, I only get off on storylines and personalities completely unrelated to the game itself.' 'That's why I kind of wish Barry Bonds were still playing,' he added. 'Everyone would watch that.'

Now repeat after me: I vow to maintain the cut and definition of my pecs, keep my body fat to a minimum, and never fasten the top three buttons of any shirt I wear. Congratulations, Troy. At press time, sources confirmed Hemsworth had returned to the set of Thor: Ragnarok and sent the newly deputized studmuffin to be photographed while emerging bare-chested from the surf. 
2	Judge Jeanine SLAMS Rosie ODonnell So Bad She Will Never Recover... Watch This Go Viral [VIDEO] Judge Jeanine Pirro went after liberal extremist Rosie ODonnell in a recent segment that has conservatives everywhere cheering. Its clear that Pirro, like the rest of us, has had enough of her disrespect. Rosie, since when are you the bastion of brilliant behavior? Pirro demanded. Why dont you put on your big girl pants and come to grips with the fact that Donald Trump is your next president and you are either with him or against America. If you dont like him, campaign harder next time. And let this be a wake-up call to you and your Hollywood friends that you dont speak for America, she added. By the way, isnt Hollywood supposed to be inclusive and accepting of the views of people who dont look or talk or act like them? Newsflash, and this isnt fake news, the people in middle America, some of whom ride a tractor for a living, wear the same boots every day, wear a badge, go overseas not knowing if they will come home, are sick and tired of your nonsenseyou know, the silent and forgotten men and women of America who rose up against you bozos and your candidate. But Pirro didnt stop there. Its about time you accepted them and respected them for their hard work, sacrifice and, yes, even their investment in your movies, TV shows and records, she continued. From the liberal D.C. politician to the liberals in Hollywood, my message, actually Americas message, is the same: You lost, we won, swallow your pride, get in line, stop thinking you are so damn important that the world has to stop and listen to your revolutionary nonsense. Your candidate just didnt cut the mustard. Donald J. Trump is the president for the next four years. Deal with it. What do you think? Is Pirro absolutely spot-on?

3	Years Before the First TV, Tesla Predicted and Helped to Develop the Smartphone and FaceTimeBy Matt Agorist Secretary of Commerce at the time, Herbert Hoover commented: Today we have, in a sense, the transmission of sight for the first time in the worlds history. Human genius has now destroyed the impediment of distance in a new respect, and in a manner hitherto unknown. Hoovers prediction of the unknown stands true today as the modern TV continues to evolve into things humanity never imagined only decades prior. Although most of society couldnt imagine the impressive capabilities of transmitting moving images over the airwaves, there were a few special folks out there who did. Five years prior to the world seeing the first practical demonstration of the television, and scores before the first instance of the smartphone, Nikola Tesla, not only imagined it but had completed crucial steps for making it possible. Television was only a small portion of Teslas predictions, however. In Volume 100 of Popular Science Monthly, January-June, 1922, Tesla would predict FaceTime. It will soon be possible to see as well as hear by means of electricity. Television will be employed as generally as telephoning. As one listens to a voice at the other end ofthe line, he will also see every expression of the speakers face, explained Tesla in his article. It will be possible to see as well as to hear either by the wireless telephone or over the regular wire circuits. There will be no limit to the distance of such transmission, so that we shall be able to talk to a person in any part of the world and watch his face at the same time. In a general way the instrument used for television will closely resemble the mechanism of the human eye. Success in transmitting vision depends upon four things, and of these I have already perfected two. The radio transmission oi sound will also be developed in the future far beyond the present system. It will be possible not only for any person with a station to listen in, but also to transmit at the same time to every other station. I have already accomplished this in my experiments. But this amazing man, with such grand visions, didnt stop at the prediction of FaceTime. Just a few years later, inan interview with Colliers Weekly,Tesla predicted the smartphone. An article dated January 25, 1926, by the Associated Press, documented the interview. Application of radio principles will enable people by carrying a small instrument in their pockets to see distant events like the sorceress of the magic crystal fairy tales and legends, Nikola Tesla, electrical inventor, predicted today. Mr. Tesla, who on several occasion has tried to communicate with the planet Mars, made his predictions in an interview published in the current issue of Colliers Weekly. We shall be able to witness the inauguration of a president, the playing of a worlds series baseball game, the havoc of an earthquake, or a battle just as though we were present, Mr. Tesla said. While every generation is astonished by the advancement of technology, few generation have predictedtechnological advancements so far before they happened, and with such accuracy that it becomes mind boggling. Imagine the world today if Teslas visions were allowed to come to fruitionhad his work not been seized by the government. But sadly, that was not the case. Only two days after his death,the FBI ordered the U.S. Office of Alien Property to seize all of Teslas belongings. Teslas entire estate from the Hotel New Yorker, and other New York City hotels, was transported to the Manhattan Storage and Warehouse Company under OAP seal. In an instant, this genius mans entire lifes work became the property of the government to further their militaristic escapades. However, not all was lost; severalnew geniuseswould rise up and follow in Teslas footsteps. People like Jim Murray would diligently devote their lives to understanding this great man, and in turn, create paradigm shifting technologies like theSERPS (Switched Energy Resonance Power Supply)device. This highly specialized electronic circuit has the ability to Magnify the effective power applied to it by nearly 50 times. When Jim coupled his device with his friend Paul Babcockspatented ultrafast five nanosecond switching technology, they achieved a4790% increase in electrical power compared to the input.This type of performance, if commercialized, would cause the largest electric utility companies to shake in their boots. Its been 73 years since his death, and Tesla is still helping to make the world a better place in spite of government schools making no mention of his contributions to humanity.

1	Suddenly reappearing at your workplace after two visits late last week, sources confirmed Tuesday that a totally unknown guy is once again strolling around your part of the office for some reason. The well-dressed man, who not even coworkers who have been at your company for a long time could identify, is reportedly perfectly at ease placing a call in a vacant cubicle and has been seen through the glass conference room door apparently conducting meetings. According to witnesses, the man has also referred to your immediate supervisor as well as the head of your entire department by their first names, and has been observed standing with both of them and gesturing toward your general work area. At press time, this guy you dont know anything about was suddenly asking if you could chat with him for a few minutes, a request reportedly made to no one else. 
1	With his stock falling and his projected share of the vote expected to be smaller with every passing week, Steve Slaton (RB-West Virginia) has begun making extravagant promises late in his Heisman campaign. 'A vote for me is not only a vote for a gutsy all-purpose back who can run, catch, and block, but for free health care for all Americans, greater access to continuing education to those who qualify, and lower taxes for the American middle class,' Slaton said Tuesday in an announcement approved by West Virginia's sports-information director. 'Troy Smith may be a fast quarterback with a rocket arm, but he does not share your interests and does not believe in distributing the wealth as well as he distributes the ball.' Heisman voters remain unmoved, saying that Slaton's two recent fumbles against Louisville prove that he is weak on national ball security. 
2	BREAKING: Congress Makes Move To Finally Impeach Obama Once And For All According to recent reports, Representative Ted Yoho of Florida is in the process of introducing a resolution designed to set forth the Houses definition of high crimes and misdemeanors. The resolution would undoubtedly have consequences for President Obama, who has sparked controversy with his executive actions. The resolution also adds that the use of funds in defiance of congressional appropriations and the defiance of congressional subpoenas are impeachable offenses. If it sounds like Yoho is speaking directly to Obama, its because he is. Obamas blatant refusal to enforce immigration laws, to bypass Congress, and to withhold information fit the resolutions call for impeachment and meet the criteria for high crime. The resolution was crafted with the help of legal experts like Judge Andrew Napolitano and attorneys like Bruce Fein. It is without doubt going to be a major source of controversy among liberals. Still, Yoho maintains, This is strictly about the rule of law. Yoho believes that Obamas use of executive amnesty was a blatant, in-your-face Im above the law and Im going to do what I want. Im a dictator, Im a king act. What do you think? Do you support Yohos resolution? 
1	Determined to gain an appreciation for the fermented Japanese rice drink, Chris Gibson and girlfriend Valerie Estes made a fourth attempt to enjoy sake Saturday. Chris Gibson and Valerie Estes, whose recent, fourth attempt to enjoy sake (below) was unsuccessful. 'Sake is really good stuff,' said Gibson, 29, following the couple's most recent failed sake-appreciation attempt. 'And it's a cool thing to be able to say you're into. I just don't think our palates are refined enough to get everything out of it just yet.' Gibson and Estes reached that conclusion after sipping a small amount of namakaze, or cold unpasteurized sake, at a dinner party thrown by mutual friend Roger Deroia, a self-professed 'Japanophile' who spent 10 days in Tokyo last year. 'Chris and Valerie took a small drink, then sort of grimaced,' Deroia said. 'Maybe they should just stick to white Zinfandel.' The couple's interest in the Japanese wine began five months ago, shortly after they received a porcelain sake set as a housewarming gift from Deroia. The Arita ceremonial sake kit Deroia gave them contained a tokkuri, a porcelain decanter used to heat and present the sake, and four porcelain sakazukis, or bowls. 'Chris and Valerie seemed interested in Asian culture,' Deroia said. 'They've got a Japanese screen in their bedroom, and Chris loved the anim tapes I once lent him, so I thought the sake set would be a perfect gift.' Sake set. According to Estes, the couple's first-ever sips of sake were poorly received. 'I wanted the first time we used the sake set to be special, so we made a whole night of it,' Estes said. 'Chris ordered sushi and rented [Akira] Kurosawa's Ran. We planned to drink a bottle of sake with dinner and another during the movie, but after about half a bowl each, it was obvious that neither of us really cared for it.' A few weeks later, while perusing the sake kit's instructions, Gibson discovered that sake is supposed be heated somewhere between lukewarm and body temperature before drinking. 'It said you're supposed to heat the tokkuri in a pan of hot water,' Gibson said. 'When I told Valerie, we were like, 'Oh, that's why it wasn't that great.' So we heated up the sake and gave it another go. It was a little better, but we still couldn't finish a whole bowl between us.' The couple's third and most successful sake-appreciation attempt occurred in January while eating with Deroia at Origami, a Minneapolis Japanese restaurant. 'We were eating vegetable tempura when Roger suggested we order some sake,' Gibson said. 'Valerie and I just sort of looked at each other. She said she just wanted to get some plum wine, which we've both had before and enjoyed, but Roger insisted. And you can't really argue with Roger when it comes to things Japanese or, as he might say, 'Nipponese.'' 'Chris and I enjoyed the sake a little more with Roger there,' Estes said. 'Like, he taught us that you toast the server by saying 'bonzai' or 'kampai' after they pour your bowl. Learning about those sorts of traditions must have distracted me from the taste, because I actually drank my whole cup that time. But, in all honesty, it still wasn't that good.' Deroia is sympathetic to his friends' sake-enjoyment struggles. 'I remember the first time I tried sake, I thought the cork was left off for too long, because it tasted like spoiled wine,' said Deroia, who noted that since sake is made from rice, which is a grain, it should technically be considered more a beer than a wine. 'But as with any acquired taste, it takes time. And once you start actually enjoying the taste, it's wonderful. It's just that the taste-acquisition phase can be rather long and painful.' Unbowed by their lack of success, Gibson and Estes are preparing to take a fifth stab at sake enjoyment. 'Roger suggested that Valerie and I try yakoman sake,' Gibson said. 'He says it's not really sake, but has the qualities of sake. Real sake is just water, rice, and a mold called koji. He said that once we got used to drinking yakoman, we could work our way up to trying 'the good stuff,' this dai-ginjo he special-ordered. I think that might have been the problem the last four timesnot having the right kind of sake.' 
3	Militarist BunkumPaul Craig Roberts Keep that in mind for July 4th, which is arriving in six weeks. July 4th is Americas most important national holiday celebrating American independence from Great Britain. On July 4th, 1776, Americas Founding Fathers declared that the Thirteen Colonies were no longer colonies but an independent country in which the Rights of Englishmen would prevail for all citizens and not only for King Georges administrators. (Actually, the Second Continental Congress voted in favor of independence on July 2, and historians debate whether the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4 or August 2.) In this American assertion of self-determination citizens of Great Britain were not allowed to vote. Therefore, according to Washingtons position on the votes in Crimea and in eastern Ukrainethe former Russian territories of Donetsk and LuhanskAmericas Declaration of Independence was illegitimate and illegal. On July 4th all across America there will be patriotic speeches about our soldiers who gave their lives for their country. To an informed person these speeches are curious. I am hard pressed to think of any examples of our soldiers giving their lives for our country. US Marine General Smedley Butler had the same problem. He said that his Marines gave their lives for United Fruit Companys control of Central America. War is a racket, said General Butler, pointing out that US participation in World War I produced 21,000 new American millionaires and billionaires. 190 million is 60 million more than the entire US population in the year that I was born. The only war fought on US territory was the war against Southern Secession. In this war Irish immigrants fresh off the boat gave their lives for American Empire. As soon as the South was conquered, the Union forces were set loose on the Plains Indians and destroyed them as well. Americas wars have always been fought elsewhereCuba, Haiti, Mexico, Philippines, Japan, Germany, Korea, Vietnam, Panama, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Somalia. Washington even attacks countries with which the US is not at war, such as Pakistan and Yemen, and engages in proxy wars. The article cited above reports: The United States launched 201 overseas military operations between the end of World War II and 2001, and since then, others, including Afghanistan and Iraq. Not a single one of these wars and military operations had anything whatsoever to do with defending the US population from foreign threats. Not even Japan and Germany posed a threat to the US. Neither country had any prospect of invading the US and neither country had any such war plans. Lets assume Japan had conquered China, Burma, and Indonesia. With such a vast territory to occupy, Japan could not have spared a single division with which to invade the US, and, of course, any invasion fleet would never have made it across the Pacific. Just as was the fate of the Japanese fleet at Midway, an invasion fleet would have been sitting ducks for the US Navy. Assume Germany had extended its conquests over Europe to Great Britain, Russia and North Africa. Germany would have been unable to successfully occupy such a vast territory and could not have spared a single soldier to send to invade America. Even the US superpower was unable to successfully occupy Iraq and Afghanistan, countries with small land areas and populations in comparison. Except for its wars against the South, the Plains Indians, Haiti, Spain, Panama, Grenada, and Mexico, the US has never won a war. The Southern Confederates, usually outnumbered, often defeated the Union generals. Japan was defeated by its own lack of military resources. Germany was defeated by the Soviet Union. The allied invasion of Normandy did not occur until June 6, 1944, by which time the Red Army had ground up the Wehrmacht. When the allies landed in Normandy, three-fourths of the German Army was on the Russian front. The allied invasion was greatly helped by Germanys shortage of fuel for mobilized units. If Hitler had not allowed hubris to lead him into invading the Soviet Union and, instead, just sat on his European conquests, no allied invasion would have been possible. Today Germany would rule all of Europe, including the UK. The US would have no European Empire with which to threaten Russia, China, and the Middle East. In Korea in the 1950s, General Douglas MacArthur, victorious over Japan, was fought to a standstill by third world China. In Vietnam American technological superiority was defeated by a third world army. The US rolled up mighty Grenada in the 1980s, but lost its proxy war against the Sandinistas in Nicaragua. Is there anyone so foolish as to think that Grenada or the Sandinistas were a threat to the United States, that North Korea or North Vietnam comprised threats to the United States? Yet, the Korean and Vietnam wars were treated as if the fate of the United States hung in the balance. The conflicts produced voluminous dire predictions and strategic debates. The communist threat replaced the Hitler threat. The American Empire was at risk from third world peoples. Dominoes would fall everywhere. Currently Washington is at work overturning President Reagans accomplishment of ending the Cold War. Washington orchestrated a coup that overthrew the elected government of Ukraine and installed a stooge government. Washingtons stooges began issuing threats against Russia and the Russian speaking population in Ukraine. These threats resulted in those parts of Ukraine that were formerly part of Russia declaring their independence. Washington blames Russia, not itself, and is stirring the pot, demonizing Russia and recreating the Cold War with military deployments in the Baltics and Eastern Europe. Washington needs to reinvent the Cold War in order to justify the hundreds of billions of dollars that Washington annually feeds the military/security complex, some of which recycles in political campaign donations. In contrast to Washingtons propaganda, an honest view of the events in Ukraine can be found here: http://www.claritypress.com/LendmanIII.html In the 21st century Americans worst enemies are not al Qaeda, Iran, Russia, and China. Americas worst enemies are our own presidents who have declared repeatedly that the orchestrated war on terror gives them the right to set aside the civil liberties guaranteed to every citizen by the US Constitution. Having stripped US citizens of their civil liberties, executive branch agencies are now stocking up vast amounts of ammunition, and the Department of Agriculture has placed an order for submachine guns. The Department for Homeland Security has acquired 2,717 mine-resistant armored personnel carriers. Congress and the media are not interested in why the executive branch is arming itself so heavily against the American people. During the entirely of the 21st centuryindeed, dating from the Clinton regime at the end of the 20th centurythe executive branch has declared its independence from law (both domestic and international) and from the Constitution, Congress, and the Judiciary. The executive branch, with the help of the Republican Federalist Society, has established that the office of the executive is a tyranny unaccountable to law, domestic or international, as long as the executive declares a state of war, even a war that is not conducted against another country or countries but a vague, undefined or ill-defined war against a vague stateless enemy such as al Qaeda, with which the US is currently allied against Syria. Al Qaeda now has a dual role. Al Qaeda is Washingtons agent for overthrowing the elected Assad government in Syria and al Qaeda is the evil force against which US civil liberties must be sacrificed. The illegitimate power asserted by the Office of the President is not only a threat to every American but also to every living being on planet earth. As the article cited above reports: Approximately 17,300 nuclear weapons are presently deployed in at least 9 countries, many of which can be launched and reach their targets within 45 minutes. It only takes one fooland Washington has thousands of foolsand all life on earth terminates in 45 minutes. The neoconservative belief that the United States is the exceptional, indispensable country chosen by history to rule the earth is a belief full of the arrogance and hubris that lead to war. Keep your likely fate in mind as you watch the military bands and marches on July 4th and listen to the hot air of militarism.

1	Feeling his eyelids grow heavier as he continued along a pitch-black stretch of I-75 South, Republican presidential candidate Lindsey Graham struggled to stay awake while driving his completely empty campaign bus overnight to his next event, sources confirmed Wednesday. Graham, who left Davenport, IA at 9 p.m. Tuesday in hopes of reaching South Carolina by morning, reportedly first began to grow drowsy roughly two hours into the 850-mile journey as he passed through the cornfields of eastern Illinois. Since that time, a combination of the gentle hum of the engine and the lack of anyone to talk to had reportedly lulled the senator to the brink of sleep several times as he sat alone in the passengerless 45-foot-long bus. Gosh, maybe I should pull over at the next rest area and take a quick nap, an exhausted Graham said to himself while resting his head against the drivers side window and loosely gripping the steering wheel with one hand as he neared the halfway mark of his solo overnight journey. But I really gotta keep going if Im going to get to the Spartanburg American Legion in time for the meet-and-greet breakfast. Reports indicate that at one point, Graham occupied his time by practicing his responses for the Republican debate in September, reportedly mimicking the expected rebuttals of each of the other candidates as well. I guess I can just pick up a big coffee or something to perk me up, he added, stifling a loud yawn that reverberated throughout the silent vehicle. Might be nice to get some snacks too. After twice being jolted from a bleary-eyed stupor when the campaign bus veered over the highways rumble stripscausing Graham to jerk the wheel wildly to get the bus back into its lanethe senator seemed momentarily reenergized, asserting to no one in particular that he was making great timegreat time! Following the senators lone pit stop thus far at around midnight, when he pulled into a Roy Rogers restaurant to order chicken fingers and french fries for dinner, Graham somewhat proudly pointed out that he had since resisted the urge to stop and use the restroom. This is great, because with a bus full of people, Id have to wait for everyone to get their order and finish up eating before we could get moving again, said Graham while consuming his food from a paper bag wedged between his legs. But since its only me, I can just eat while I drive. Saying that good music was all the company he needed, Graham explained that he had been able to keep himself awake by drumming his fingers along to the tunes of the classic rock station he discovered just outside Indianapolis. The senator added that after losing the stations signal when he drove beyond the channels broadcast range, he remained alert by playing a game in which he attempted to name a states capital when he saw a license plate from that state, noting that he had already seen plates from 14 different states and two from Canada. Reports indicate that at one point, Graham occupied his time by practicing his responses for the Republican debate in September, reportedly mimicking the expected rebuttals of each of the other candidates as well. Ive made the drive from Iowa to South Carolina a bunch of times by myselfits really not that bad, said the senator, whose bus contained only a small suitcase with the senators toiletries and a couple changes of clothes, as well as a few unopened boxes of Graham 2016 bumper stickers. By now, I know a lot of the stretches where the cops are usually looking to catch people for speeding. You definitely need to watch out once you get near Asheville. I bet a lot of the other candidates dont know that, he added. Rolling the window down in the hopes that cool air would stave off sleepiness, Graham said that the miles started to fly by when he began to mentally compose his Republican National Convention speech. Its actually kind of nice being on the open road at night by myself, said Graham while tearing off another bite of his Slim Jim before tossing the wrapper onto the passenger seat alongside several others. Its really peaceful, and I can just relax and be totally alone with my thoughts. Not everybody knows how to enjoy being by themselves. Idaho! added Graham suddenly, pointing at a passing cars license plate following a long stretch of silence.

'Six months together, and now he says he wants to see other people,' a distraught Garnecki said immediately after the breakup, but before taking a long sip of her mouth-watering shake. 'How could he do this to me? Doesn't he care? This is made with premium ice cream, isn't it?' Garnecki said she plans to spend the day crying on her best friend's shoulder and licking her fingers. 
2	Court Rules In Favor Of Schools Ban On American Flags Recently, an appellate court ruled that it was not a violation of students rights when a California School banned them from wearing American flag T-shirts to class on Cinco de Mayo. The court instead acknowledged the school for doing the right thing to help prevent an racial issues surrounding the holiday. The court acknowledged the school had to make a decision between allowing students to take advantage of their full rights, or preventing potential violence on campus. It ruled to uphold the administrators decision. In 2010, the principal of the California school demanded that students change out of their American Flag T-shirts. When they declined, the principal got angry, and the students eventually filed a lawsuit again the Live Oak High School and two administrators. The students claimed that their rights to freedom of expression had been violated. The decision was made at a time where gang-related violence and racial tensions were at an all time high in the district. What do you think of the courts decision? 
3	Why Have Police In America Turned Into Such Ruthless Thugs?Michael Snyder Just this week, there have been stories about police killing a baby deer at an animal shelter, about police killing a 95-year-old World War II veteran in a retirement home, and about police using legal technicalities to legally steal massive amounts of money from innocent citizens. Why are police acting like this? Why have police in America turned into such ruthless thugs? In the case of the baby deer that was killed, 13 armed agents stormed the animal shelter up in Wisconsin where it was being cared for. Is this really the kind of country that we want our children to grow up in? A country where Bambi is hunted down by armed thugs working for the government? Sadly, the story about that deer is not an isolated incident. The truth is that police all over the country kill animals every single day. In fact, police in Chicago have shot 488 animals since 2008. No wonder people are so afraid to have the police come to their homes. Increasingly, police departments all over the United States are being transformed into military-style units. These days, even very minor violations of the law can result in a SWAT team raid. The following is from a recent article by John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute Consider that in 1980, there were roughly 3,000 SWAT team-style raids in the US. By 2001, that number had grown to 45,000 and has since swelled to more than 80,000 SWAT team raids per year. On an average day in America, over 100 Americans have their homes raided by SWAT teams. In fact, there are few communities without a SWAT team on their police force today. In 1984, 25.6 percent of towns with populations between 25,000 and 50,000 people had a SWAT team. That number rose to 80 percent by 2005. When it comes to SWAT-style tactics being used in routine policing, the federal government is one of the largest offenders, with multiple agencies touting their own SWAT teams, including the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Consumer Product Safety Commission, NASA, the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services, the US National Park Service, and the FDA. What in the world does NASA need a SWAT team for? The police culture in America has fundamentally changed. In the old days, most police officers were extremely helpful and would give you directions or help you get your cat out of a tree. But if you stop and ask a police officer for help today, you will be lucky if all you get is some dirty language. These days, police all over the nation are actually being trained to bark orders at you and to respond to the least bit of resistance with overwhelming force. The results of this kind of training can often be extremely tragic. Just the other day, a95-year-old World War II veteran living in a retirement home near Chicago was murdered by police just because he did not want to undergo high-risk surgery A 95-year-old man who served his country during World War II is now dead after police stormed his retirement home with riot shields, Tasered him and shot him with bean bag rounds all because he adamantly refused to undergo high-risk surgery. U.S. Army Air Corps veteran John Wrana, who was honorably discharged as a sergeant after he served in the India-Burma campaign, used a walker because family members said he was wobbly on his feet, according to the Chicago Tribune. The elderly veteran was shot down by enemy fire during the war. On July 26, a doctor reportedly told Wrana if he survived surgery, he would likely be put on life support. The elderly man refused the operation, and paramedics attempted to involuntarily transport him for medical treatment. He was sitting in a chair, holding a cane and a shoe horn when police arrived at the Victory Centre senior living facility located just south of Chicago. Why did the police have to act like that? Is there any police officer out there that cannot physically handle a 95-year-old man? That 95-year-old veteran survived fighting the Japanese, but he was not able to survive the thuggish behavior of our own police. And most Americans dont realize this, but when police pull you over they can take cash and property from you even if you have not done anything wrong. It is called civil forfeiture and it is one of the worst things about U.S. law. Civil forfeiture was described in a recent article by Becket Adams Did you know that the police can confiscate items such as cash and property from people who have never been convicted of a crime? Its true, and its all because of a little-known police tactic called civil forfeiture. The following are some examples of the abuse of civil forfeiture that were detailed in a recent article in the New Yorker -Police took the home of an elderly couple in Philadelphia because their son allegedly sold $20 worth of marijuana on their front porch. -Police in Virginia pulled over a speeder and took $28,500 that was intended to be used to purchase a new parcel of land for a Pentecostal church. -One town in Texas has actually been caught threatening to take children away from innocent couples if they dont sign over the cash that they are carrying to the police The countys district attorney, a fifty-seven-year-old woman with feathered Charlies Angels hair named Lynda K. Russell, arrived an hour later. Russell, who moonlighted locally as a country singer, told Henderson and Boatright that they had two options. They could face felony charges for money laundering and child endangerment, in which case they would go to jail and their children would be handed over to foster care. Or they could sign over their cash to the city of Tenaha, and get back on the road. No criminal charges shall be filed, a waiver she drafted read, and our children shall not be turned over to CPS, or Child Protective Services. Where are we? Boatright remembers thinking. Is this some kind of foreign country, where theyre selling peoples kids off? Holding her sixteen-month-old on her hip, she broke down in tears. If you have not read the new article in the New Yorker that goes into great detail about all of this, you can find itright here. So why are police all over America acting like this? Well, one of the primary factors is that they are just following the example that is being set on the federal level. The entire country is rapidly being transformed into a Big Brother police state, and most Americans seem to like it that way. And with each passing year, it just gets even worse. For example, we were originally told that the TSA would only be hassling us at our airports, but now they are everywhere. As the New York Times recently reported, TSA VIPR teams are now being deployed almost everywhere there are large gatherings of people With little fanfare, the agency best known for airport screenings has vastly expanded its reach to sporting events, music festivals, rodeos, highway weigh stations and train terminals. This VIPR team program is growing rapidly, and apparently these VIPR teams conducted 8,800 unannounced checkpoints last year The program now has a $100 million annual budget and is growing rapidly, increasing to several hundred people and 37 teams last year, up from 10 teams in 2008. T.S.A. records show that the teams ran more than 8,800 unannounced checkpoints and search operations with local law enforcement outside of airports last year, including those at the Indianapolis 500 and the Democratic and Republican national political conventions. So where is the outrage? A small minority of the American people have been sounding the alarm about NSA snooping and other abuses, but most Americans dont really seem to care about these things very much. In fact, according to a new survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, 47 percent of all Americans dont even want the media to report on secret government surveillance programs. So not only do they not want the surveillance to stop, 47 percent of all Americans do not even want to hear anything about it on the news. How sickening is that? Sadly, this is not the first survey that has produced this kind of a result. For much more on this, please see my previous article entitled 19 Surveys Which Prove That A Large Chunk Of The Population Is Made Up Of Totally Clueless Sheeple. In the end, we will get the government that we deserve. And according tothe New York Times, at this point our government is even willing to manufacture fake terror threats in order to distract us from their surveillance activities Some analysts and Congressional officials suggested Friday that emphasizing a terrorist threat now was a good way to divert attention from the uproar over the N.S.A.s data-collection programs, and that if it showed the intercepts had uncovered a possible plot, even better. What in the world is happening to America? Is there any hope for us?

3	Mark of the Beast: Microchips Trending to Become Essential Keeper of Passwords and Digital CurrencyMac Slavo Today, mandatory RFID microchips for humans are still a distant and creepy possible future, with a handful of tech-trendy volunteers trying to revolutionize use of the icon of the tracked and traced society. Many see microchips becoming not only mandatory under an Orwellian super-surveillance state but utterly indispensable to modern life, as dozens of hard-to-remember passwords, payments and transactions for online business and leisure become not just commonplace but overwhelming and pervasive. The chip might become too necessary not to take. How will you keep track of all your online keys, and how will they know you are who you say you are? It may someday soon become so essential to online, data-driven life filled with authentications and location-based and secure user-specific applications that few will resist taking the chip despite the warnings in prophecy and by modern day privacy advocates. A number of brave new technerds are chipping themselves to go boldly into the biometric future. And the trend is becoming more popular: Worldwide some 2,000 people have been chipped and their number is growing. Oudennarden expects their number to grow considerably next year, particularly among what he calls technerds. Martijn Wismeijer, who has had two chips in his hand for a couple of weeks, says the pain was over after a couple of days. You can still feel them, but you forget they are there, he said. He uses one chip as a savings account for bitcoins which he says is the safest way to keep them. The chip on his other hand stores the passwords for 900 websites. Many people use the same password for everything but I think that is a bad habit, he says. The Dutch entrepreneur Martijn Wismeijer, who has been profiled by CBS News and other media outlets, has been dubbed Mr. Bitcoin, and is on the cutting edge of consumer-oriented NFC, or near-field communication, which uses to microchips or wearable devices to communicate with mobile and tablet devices to unlock and initiate: Mr. Bitcoin will never forget where he left his wallet. Its implanted under his skin. Wismeijer and his compatriots got tiny NFC chips injected into their hands. NFC, which stands for near-field communications, is the same type of technology built into the Apple Pay digital payment system and numerous Android devices. It is compatible with all NFC compliant devices such as mobile phones, tablets, etc. and can be used to launch URLs, share contact details, unlock phones, etc. It says the chip can also be used with several types of commercial readers to unlock doors, start cars, log into computers. Never mind that these chips can be easily hacked, and are vulnerable unless further steps are taken to secure the data. These technerds have cool haircuts, handlebar mustaches and techno beats. Just watch the video Wismeijer posted of receiving his implant: Maybe it is just a handful of technerds right now, but the transition is happening faster than most of us realize. Right now, wearables are quickly on their way to becoming consumer must-haves, and the latest Christmas gadget crazes: Google Glass has made its mark, now smart watches, bracelets and fitness monitors are coming to the fore under a variety of brand names. Many are mini-computers and all can share data with a wide range of digital systems. Soon, wearables are supposed to integrate with clothing, shoes, etc. as well, as the Daily Mail reported: Regina Dugan, the former director of DARPA is currently Googles Vice President of Engineering, Advanced Technology and Projects and in charge of special projects for the Google-owned Motorola Mobility. In 2013, Dugan presented a vision for the near-future that is sure to make your skin crawl: We got to do a lot of epic shit when I was at DARPA, Dugan said onstage at D11. But the stuff she is working on at Motorola is pretty cool (and totally creepy!) too: An electronic tattoo that can be used to authenticate a user instead of some flimsy password. Its made by a company called MC10 that Motorola is partnering with, and Dugan is wearing it on her own arm. Another option in a similar vein: Vitamin authentication. Dugan shows a pill that can be ingested and then battery-powered with stomach acid to produce an 18-bit internal signal. After that, the swallowers whole body becomes a password. When I chatted with Rest Devices, I was shown a demo baby, outfitted in a high-tech onesie called Mimo. Those green stripes and attached device you can see lying across the baby are fully equipped with sensors that monitor a babys breathing, temperature and activity level. But thats not all Mimo also has an algorithm that can work out when your baby is about to fall asleep. Valuable information for parents that allows them to optimize their sleep time, too! As you can see, RFID microchips are not only ominous and foreboding, they are likely just the beginning of a future so technologically driven that humanity could be easily put in the backseat, dwarfed, diminished, disposed of and transcended. Today it is trendy, new and surely useful. And they are much more likely to enter everyday life through the convenience of online life than through draconian, mandatory compliance with something like Obamacare, thought that could conceivably come to pass as well. But, for tomorrow, the writing is on the wall, and you have been warned. Before the microchip becomes a red line requirement with consequences for resisting, it will be a dont be left behind staple of consumer life that will be integrated with everyday life, perhaps with little notice.

2	Sharia Police Brutally Assault Innocent Woman For THIS Sickening Reason President Barack Obama has tried to maintain that Syrian refugees will have nothing but a positive impact on our country. Beyond his claims that accepting these Muslim immigrants into our country is our duty, he has claimed that all these people strive to do is be accepted into our culture. The fact is, time and time again, were seeing a refusal from the Muslim population to assimilate to European culture. This was recently demonstrated in Viennas Millennium City shopping centre, when it was visited by self-proclaimed Islamic guardians of public morality. These men have reportedly harassed numerous women and have already hospitalized two men, Kronen Keitung reports. According to reports, the Chechen men of the patrol harassed a woman, her daughter, and their friends as they left a nightclub at around midnight. They verbally assaulted them, shouting at them loudly. When the woman called for her husband to help her, the group of men attacked him, beating him to the ground. A bystander who witnessed the assault and tried to stop the men was also hospitalized after the altercation. Police are now investigating the incident. 
1	In the most dramatic leap in television technology since the advent of color in the 1950s, on Monday the FCC approved a 10-year plan to shift to digital, high-definition TV, technology which will make barely watchable crap far sharper and more detailed than ever before. Drool-inducing, sub-moronic programming as seen on a conventional analog television (top), disrupted by static. The same garbage with crystal-clear, movie-quality reception on HDTV (bottom). 'This is a monumental breakthrough,' said Magnavox vice-president Gene Kalman, demonstrating a prototype of the new HDTV. 'This atrocious episode of Sliders almost looks like it will leap off the screen, and it wasn't even shot in the new format.' The first generation of the format, Sony's 'TV-H,' will be available in U.S. stores as early as this fall. Though the $2,500 price tag makes crystal-clear viewing of intelligence-insulting swill possible only for the very well-off, prices are expected to drop dramatically in the next five years. 'By the year 2005,' said Bob Rowell, president of the American Association of Broadcasters, '90 percent of American homes will watch their favorite mind-numbing swill on a high-definition TV.' 'Soon, your children will be able to watch shrill, grating Hanna-Barbera re-runs on the Cartoon Network with a degree of crispness unheard of when you first watched that crap in the '70s,' Rowell said. 'And those whose lives are so empty that each Thursday night they actually watch all of NBC's so-called 'Must-See-TV' lineup will be amazed at the clarity and resolution with which all those stupid people's apartments come through.' Promised Rowell: 'When you see the episode of Martin in which the computer dating service matches Martin up with his neighbor Sheneneh, his grotesque and profoundly unfunny mugging will come through with a resolution unimagined on traditional TVs.' Stupid, inane commericals will also look amazingly deep and dimensional when viewed in the new format. The digital sound system will also greatly enhance their intrusive, overloud quality. 'That kid with the Southern accent on the grape-juice ad will look like you can almost reach out and strangle him,' Rowell said. In addition, recent big-budget movies like Independence Day and Eraser will soon be available in HDTV digital-cassette format, which manufacturers promise will offer an experience comparable to shaking your head and thinking, 'This sucks,' in an actual movie theater. Top videogame manufacturers, including Nintendo and Sega, are already developing new systems on which consumers will be able to play astonishingly crisp, ultra-realistic versions of the same old stupid videogame in which two guys pound the shit out of each other. Designed with an eye to the future, HDTVs will be also able to accomodate yet-to-be-unveiled cable-TV systems, which promise to bring more than 1,000 channels of unwatchable tripe into the home. 'We have seen the future,' FCC chair Reed Hundt said, 'and it is sharp. And it is crap.' 
1	Evaluating millions of randomly selected conversations held over the course of a one-year period, a new report released Thursday by the Brookings Institution confirmed that nearly half of all Americans probably should have thought of that before they opened their mouth. We discovered that in 47 percent of our cases it didnt even cross the subjects mind to consider that before running their damn yap, said lead researcher Paul Joyner, adding that the investigation found in nearly all instances examined that its already out there and now theres no way in hell to take it back. Furthermore, the evidence strongly indicates half of all Americans would not have a foot in their mouth right now if they didnt always feel the need to have the last word. The findings also suggest 52 percent of the nation must feel like a bit of an ass right now. The report concluded less than 1 percent of Americans would remember any of this before once again blurting out the first stupid thing that came to their mind. 
3	Constitutional Attorney Explains the Actual Cause of the Oregon StandoffBy KrisAnne Hall Hasnt she had the lawyer bit removed by the bar association due to gross misconduct ? Why would she? What gross misconduct? Besides, the BAR association is nothing, not legitimate, has no power in this country, or should have. Its a foreign (British) organization, requiring those that are accepted/passed to take on a foreign title (Esquire) that the Constitution forbids. Besides, the way the legal (which is not LAWFUL) profession twists things around, redefines words, in legalese the Constitution does not apply to you or I. Anyway, per the common use of the language, shes absolutely correct. Read the Constitution for yourself. Its a dry read. but when you understand it you will understand that shes correct. Also note that The United States of America is actually a foreign corporation headquartered in Washington, D.C., and your eyes will REALLY open. Peace. Unfortunately you have been lied to. The bar is just as fraudulent as our courts that have a railing and gold fringe flag. This represents maritime law. Once you step inside that railing you consent to it. Truth! Theres a LOT on this site that is definitely bullshit, but what this woman had to say, when using everyday language, is absolutely spot on. Not only is each individual State supposed to be more powerful than the Federal government, but each individual man and woman is supposed to have more power than the State, as we cannot delegate a right or a power that we, as individual sovereigns, have. Thats what an inalienable right is, something we cannot give away even if we wanted it, granted to us by the Creator as thinking individuals. Instead of just slinging hateful replies, why not actually contribute to the conversation? Unfortunately, not only the names you mentioned, but pretty much ALL politicians are already bought and paid for. The end-game is the same, but how they get us there differs from one controlling group to the next. The only way out of the system is to completely ignore the systembut, of course, we can ignore at our own risk. LOL Peace. Who invited Netanyahu to address the USCongress ? A dictatorial, international gangster addressed the UScongress and the bribed congresspersons awarded him standing ovations ? That activity clarified which religious clan has bribed Americans into submission. No Right Handed individual in their right mind would carry on the left especially in as low a position as the FBI is reporting via the video and people are claiming. Shoulder holsters for the Left Side Underarm Carry are tucked directly under the Arm Pit itself. Not low on the Left Side. All pictures you see anywhere online also show LaVoy carrying his Side Arm on the Right Side. The natural reaction to being Gut Shot on your Left Side would be to reach across to that side of the injury to stop the bleeding or to hold the wound. It is a natural human reaction. Have you ever been hit in the Ribs on your Left Side? Your Right Hand naturally crosses over to protect that side. Common sense prevails in this. He was first shot in his Left Side Lower Quadrant which naturally lurched him over to the Left Side and naturally reaching over to grab that Left Side and to Reach over to that side a Second time when hit the Second Time and directly after that is when the final fatal shots were delivered. A perfectly orchestrated shooting to make the viewer think LaVoy was reaching for a gun on his Left Side when in reality setting up the viewer with little knowledge of how ballistics work and repeated wounds will make the human body react in that instance. The perfect orchestrated Murder by our own government. He was invited to that meeting by our Government in that other town so why all the ultra heavy military type response in convoy? This was orchestrated from the beginning. I guess we think alike because that was my first thought. I have been awake a very very long time. America needs to wake up. Time is short and TPTB are coming. No not just already here which they obviously are but they are coming. Bravo The United States of America is not a Limited Constitutional Republic. get the usa out of the UN and its global dominance agendathat might help. The proper hierarchy is: Another misconception many people have is that the constitution gives us rights. Governments give NOTHING, what governments have they steal from their populace Give it back to the Paiutes and go home. No one who breaks so many treaties can then come crying about God given constitutional rights. I just shared and followed this site that makes excuses for a white supremacist militia?! Time to go delete all that. We overfed our creature called Federal Government and now its devouring all of us. We the people are owners of our property yes, we as a collective people represented by the government are owners of the land. Therefore it is imperative that lands are set aside for the common good, to preserve wildlife and recreational space, to preserve lands and keep it open to the public. To keep it free of commercial exploitation. Much more land should be protected from the exploitation of a few rangers who use it for short-term profit. It should be set aside for all citizens to enjoy nature and wildlife and to preserve it for future generations. The government has many faults but preserving land for the common good is not one of them. That is all good, but Why hasnt any attorneys such as this lady got involved before ???? Why??? That is the part I do not understand.if problem arises with issues most people retain an attorney to represent them in such matters, its standard. Due to the bankruptcy of USA,INC in 1933, we are all indentured debt slaves. Check out what your birth certificate is REALLY all about. Horsecrap. Nope, I wish it wasnt true.but it is 100 percent fact. Your birth certificate is written on bond paper. Your future earnings and taxes are pledged as surety against the debt. where is our James Madison of today? 
1	Leading a group of nearly two dozen high school juniors and seniors to various points of interest around campus, Tufts University tour guide Michelle Davis reportedly took time while describing every location Thursday to remind tour members that, first off, they have to be admitted. Next up is Tisch Library, which houses over 700,000 books and which has a rooftop patio where you can study, read, or just enjoy the great view of Boston, provided you get into the university, of course, Davis said, adding that the 21 percent of applicants who are accepted to Tufts each year have full access to the librarys extensive digital collections and archives as well. And this is the Residential Quad, commonly called Res Quad, where, if you make it through the admissions process, you can watch fireworks on Tuftonias Day, which is held the day before Spring Fling. Last year, the New Pornographers played Spring Fling, and a couple years before that we had Lupe Fiasco. Its so much fun, if you happen to get in. At press time, Davis was asking the tour members if those among them who had a realistic shot of being accepted and could afford four years of the private institutions tuition had any questions. 
3	Navy Yard shooting: Aaron Alexis narrative crumblingJon Rappoport So did Alexis shoot his way past security guards at the buildings separate checkpoint? Why werent the guards waiting for him just outside the building with their weapons drawn, after he, Alexis, had already shot people in the parking lot? This USA Today account hasnt spread widely through major media. Its a version of events quite different from the official, more peaceful gained entrance to the building by using someones elses ID. So thats two accounts. Now I have a third, from an unsourced person who appears to be familiar with procedures at the Navy Yard and other naval facilities where computer techs (private contractors) work. According to this source, Alexis was to show up at the Yard to work. Hed been hired as a tech. This was his first day on the job. He didnt need two IDs, because these private-contractor techs are issued a VAL, Visitor Authorization Letter, which permits them to enter and work in various buildings. These VALs have an expiration date. Alexis would have been carrying a VAL to get past checkpoints. Also, these techs typically carry no more than a backpack or small bag for cables and program CDs. Highly unlikely that Alexis could have gotten inside with a shotgun. Then we have the variations. He obtained an AR15 inside the building. No he didnt. He got hold of two handguns. He fired an AR15 shotgun (CNN), which doesnt exist. There were two other shooters. No there werent. One of the two was interviewed and released. The third suspect? Who knows? Somebodys lying, big-time. Have the networks shown pictures of the actual security checkpoints outside the parking lot and at the building, allowing us to infer what really happened there? If so, I havent seen them. Neither have I seen pictures of the parking lot, where, if pictures were taken early enough, one would expect to find shell casings and blood, assuming the USA Today story is correct. The narrative is crumbling. And reporters arent picking up the ball, because they merely take dictation from law-enforcement officials. In view of such a miserable excuse for information, assuming Alexis was the killer is speculation.

3	Americas Moral DegeneracyPaul Craig Roberts, Contributor Despite the murder of its citizen, Washington immediately took the side of the crazed Israeli government. The Turks had a different response. The prime minister of Turkey, Erdogan, said that the next aid ships would be protected by the Turkish navy. But Washington got hold of its puppet and paid him to shut up. Once upon a time, the Turks were a fierce people. Today they are Washingtons puppets. We have witnessed this during the past week. The Turkish government is permitting the Islamists from outside Syria, organized by the CIA and Israel, to attack Syria from Turkish territory. On several occasions a mortar shell has, according to news reports if you believe them, fallen just inside the Turkey border. The Turkish military has used the excuse to launch artillery barrages into Syria. People who with good cause no longer believe the US and western media or the US and western governments think that the mortar shells were fired by US or Israeli operatives, or by the rebels they support, in order to give Turkey the excuse to start a NATO war with Syria. A UN sanctioned NATO invasion or air strikes, as in Libya, has been blocked by the Russians and Chinese. But if Syria and Turkey get into a war, NATO must come to the aid of its NATO member, Turkey. Washington knows this, which is one reason why Washington began its assertion of world hegemony in the Muslim Middle East. In the West, the Ministry of Propaganda continues to talk about the Syrian revolt. There is no revolt. What has happened is that the US and Israel have equipped with weapons and sent into Syria Islamists who wish to overthrow the secular Syrian government. Washington knows that if the Syrian government can be destroyed, the country will dissolve into waring factions like Iraq and Libya. Americas European and Japanese puppet states are, of course, part of Washingtons operation. There will be no complaints from them. But why is the rest of the world content for Washington to interfere in the sovereign affairs of nations to the point of invading, sending in drones and assassination teams, and murdering vast numbers of citizens in seven countries? Does this acquiescence mean that the world has accepted Washingtons claim that it is the indispensable country with the right to rule the world? Why, for example, do Russia and Venezuela permit the US government to fund their political opposition? The one-party American state has no political opposition. But imagine if it did. Would Washington tolerate the funding of its opposition by Russia or Venezuela? Obviously not. Those running against America with foreign money would be arrested and imprisoned, but not in Venezuela or Russia, countries where, apparently, treason is legal. On September 8, Hugo Chavez defeated his American-financed opponent, Henrique Capriles, 54% to 44%. This would be an amazing margin of victory in a US presidential election. However, in his previous reelection Chavez won by 27%. Obviously, Washingtons money and the propaganda activities of the US-financed Non-Governmental Organizations succeeded in swaying Venezuelans and reducing Chavezs margin of victory to 10%. Washingtons interference is a massive barrier to leadership in other countries. Fully 44% of the Venezuelan people were too brainwashed or too stupid to vote for their own countrys candidate and voted instead for Washingtons candidate. It is extraordinary that 44% of the Venezuelan voters voted to become an American puppet state, like Turkey, England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Portugal, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland, the Baltics, Scandinavia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Mexico, Belgium, Taiwan, Columbia, Pakistan, Yemen. Probably, I have left out a few. As a high government official once told me, Empire costs us a great deal of money. Washington has to pay its puppets to represent Washington instead of their own peoples. Washington in its hubris forgets that its rule is purchased and not loved. Washingtons puppets have sold their integrity and that of their countries for filthy lucre. When the money runs out, so does the empire. By then the American people will be as corrupted as the foreign leaders. In his review of The United States And Torture, edited by Marjorie Cohn (New York University Press, 2011) in the Fall 2012 Independent Review, Anthony Gregory writes: In Reagans America, a common theme in Cold War rhetoric was that the Soviets tortured people and detained them without cause, extracted phony confessions through cruel violence, and did the unspeakable to detainees who were helpless against the full, heartless weight of the Communist state. As much as any other evil, torture differentiated the bad guys, the Commies, from the good guys, the American people and their government. However imperfect the U.S. system might be, it had civilized standards that the enemy rejected. By 2005, a year after torture photos from Abu Ghraib were leaked, polls of Americans showed that 38% had succumbed to the propaganda that torture was justified in some circumstances. After four more years of neoconservative advocacy of torture, an Associated Press poll reported in 2009 that 52% of Americans approved of torture. We can conclude with Anthony Gregory that it is not only foreign political regimes that are corrupted by Washingtons evil, but also Americans themselves. Nothing better demonstrates the moral degeneracy of American political culture than the U.S. torture state. Washington still masquerades wearing the white hat, and most of the rest of the world is paid to go along with the masquerade.

I agree that its probably a psy-op. Everything is a diversion within a diversion. 
3	The symbolism of Brennan being sworn in with hand on Constitution without Bill of RightsMadison Ruppert Some see this as quite symbolic given the extreme rejection of the most essential rights by the current administration, most notably the wild interpretation of the concept of due process, the claimed authority to kill Americans even when there is no clear evidence of terrorist activity and the claimed authority to indefinitely detain Americans without charge or trial. The White House wrote, Brennan was sworn in with his hand on an original draft of the Constitution, dating from 1787, which has George Washingtons personal handwriting and annotations on it. Why is that problematic? That means, when Brennan vowed to protect and defend the Constitution, he was swearing on one that did not include the First, Fourth, Fifth, or Sixth Amendments or any of the other Amendments now included in our Constitution, Marcy Wheeler of Empty Wheel points out. The Bill of Rights did not become part of our Constitution until 1791, 4 years after the Constitution that Brennan took his oath on. Wheeler maintains that these vows always carry a great deal of symbolism and the White House also took pains to emphasize the symbolism of the ceremony according to Oliver Knox. Theres one piece of this that I wanted to note for you, said spokesman Josh Earnest at the White Houses daily briefing. Director Brennan was sworn in with his hand on an original draft of the Constitution that had George Washingtons personal handwriting and annotations on it, dating from 1787. Director Brennan told the president that he made the request to the archives because he wanted to reaffirm his commitment to the rule of law as he took the oath of office as director of the CIA, Earnest said. The problem is that he reaffirmed his commitment to a Bill of Rights-free version of the Constitution. That means: No freedom of speech and of the press, no right to bear arms, no Fourth Amendment ban on unreasonable searches and seizures, and no right to a jury trial, writes Knox. Some bloggers maintain that there is a quite deep meaning behind this ceremony. This administration seems to view the Constitution, and especially the Bill of Rights, as impediments to progress, writes Mike Shortridge. Progression towards what exactly is a major point of contention, but the steps taken to circumvent the Bill of Rights are indisputable. Others maintain that even if he had taken an oath on a Constitution that includes the Bill of Rights, it wouldnt stop him from violating it. Even if Brennan had taken an oath on the Constitution with the Bill of Rights included, does anyone think that would stop him from making a mockery of the document if the president ordered him to? Rick Moran asks. Others just make passing mention of the symbolism of the document choice. Was this choice pregnant with meaning or are people just reading into it?

3	BoA Drills Safe Deposit Box and Removes HeirloomsYoutube 
1	Hopes of reviving a once-thriving business partnership were dashed Monday when a night on the town only served to remind local entrepreneurs Terry Argento, 33, and B.J. Dreschler, 37, why they initially parted. Argento and Dreschler. 'We had to face the musicB.J. and I can never do business the way we used to,' said Argento, vice president of Argento Homes, a manufacturer of modular housing serving the greater Austin area since 1967. 'We've grown apart, and Monday night clarified that for both of us. It's sad, but at this point, we have nothing to offer each other.' Dreschler, owner of Dreschler Plumbing Supply And Installation, was Argento's sole supplier of plumbing equipment for 'five terrific, unforgettable years.' 'Teaming with Terry was the single greatest entrepreneurial experience of my life,' said Dreschler, who still keeps all of Argento's signed invoices. 'Even though our partnership cooled over two years ago, not a day goes by when I don't think of it... but Monday night was a mistake.' Both men warmly recalled their early transactions. 'Once, I wanted to talk Terry into ordering a shipment of cast-iron bathtubs for his more upscale pre-fabs, but I wasn't sure he'd go for it,' Dreschler said. 'So I started to say, 'You know, you could do worse than acrylic,' and Terry said, 'But Argento homes are built to last, and one way to convince our customers of that is to go with the cast iron.' I was in heaven.' Yet, as is often the case with exclusive business relationships, the good times didn't last, and after several tumultuous years in business, the two ultimately dissolved their partnership in 2003. 'It wasn't the smoothest parting,' Dreschler said. 'I'll admit that I was angry at Terry for going to a larger firm, but we were both growing and changing, and I'd be deceiving myself if I didn't admit I was getting bored with selling him bathroom and kitchen fixtures.' Once they allowed their exclusive partnership to expire, the two men interacted little outside of holiday cards and the occasional phone call regarding an old contract. After three years of limited contact, it was Argento who proposed that the two meet for dinner and drinks at the Outback Steakhouse, the site of their first casual business meeting, to discuss a new partnership. Dreschler said he was 'stunned' by Argento's invitation and accepted it 'a little too eagerly.' Yet, minutes after the call, 'reality set in.' The site of the first and final business meetings between Argento and Dreschler (above). Said Dreschler: 'I was hoping he didn't want to reunite, because it wasn't going to happen. There was too much baggage. Still, I was dying to find out who he was buying sinks from.' Both men characterized the night as a disappointment. According to Argento, long, awkward silences plagued the meeting, even as a song came on the jukebox that often played on the radio when Dreschler installed sewage pumps on Argento's properties. Argento said he 'racked his brain' for collaborative projects to propose while Dreschler silently sipped his beer. 'We went to Thank-Cue Billiards after dinner and played a few rounds, but really, even though I hadn't seen B.J. in ages, I might as well have been shooting pool with my heating-and-cooling contractor or my vinyl-siding supplier,' Argento said. 'I felt nothing.' Dreschler said that, although he felt no real hostility toward Argento, lingering bitterness over the non-renewal of his contract tainted the evening. 'I never really got past that whole thing, and it got so that I just wanted the night to end,' Dreschler said. 'Like, what was the point of it all? Where do I fit in this guy's professional life, and he in mine?' At the end of the evening, the men bade each other awkward goodbyes, knowing that their business relationship, once so full of high hopes and expectations, had come to an end. 'For the first time, I feel some closure,' Dreschler said. 'I thought I needed a partnership to feel fulfilled, but the night on the town with Terry helped me realize that I'm happy exactly where I am.' Argento, meanwhile, said he had 'nothing but the deepest respect' for Dreschler's professional abilities, and wished him 'all the best.' 'B.J. is an incredible man to do business with,' Argento said. 'I honestly hope that one day, he finds that sweetheart deal he truly deserves.' Tearing up, he added: 'I'm sorry. I didn't think I would get emotional.' 
3	Rail Traffic Depression: 292 Union Pacific Engines Are Sitting In The Arizona Desert Doing NothingBy Michael Snyder One of the economic commentators that I have really come to respect is Wolf Richter of WolfStreet.com. He has a really sharp eye for what is really going on in the economy and in the financial world, and I find myself quoting him more and more as time goes by. If you have not checked out his site yet, I very much encourage you to do so. On Wednesday, he posted a very alarming article about what is happening to our rail industry. The kinds of numbers that we have been seeing recently are the kinds of numbers that we would expect if an economic depression was starting. The following is an excerptfrom that article Total US rail traffic in April plunged 11.8% from a year ago, the Association of American Railroads reported today. Carloads of bulk commodities such as coal, oil, grains, and chemicals plummeted 16.1% to 944,339 units. The coal industry is in a horrible condition and cannot compete with US natural gas at current prices. Coal-fired power plants are being retired. Demand for steam coal is plunging. Major US coal miners even the largest one are now bankrupt. So in April, carloads of coal plummeted 40% from the already beaten-down levels a year ago. Because rail traffic is down so dramatically, many operators have large numbers of engines that are just sitting around collecting dust. In his article, Wolf Richter shared photographs from Google Earth that show some of the 292 Union Pacific engines that are sitting in the middle of the Arizona desert doing absolutely nothing. The following is one of those photographs As Wolf Richter pointed out, it costs a lot of money for these engines to just sit there doing nothing These engines are expensive pieces of equipment.When they just sit there, not pulling trains, they become overcapacity, and they get very expensive. Then there are engineers and other personnel whosuddenly become unproductive. Some of them have already been laid off or are getting laid off. All over the world, similar numbers are coming in. For example, the Baltic Dry Index fell 30 more points on Wednesday after falling 21 on Tuesday. Global trade is really, really slowing down during the early portion of 2016. What this means on a practical level is that a lot less stuff is being bought, sold and shipped around the planet. It is becoming increasingly difficult for authorities to deny that a new global recession has begun, and at this moment we are only in the very early chapters of this new crisis. Another thing that I watch very closely is the velocity of money. When an economy is healthy, people feel pretty good about things and money tends to circulate fairly rapidly. For example, I may buy something from you, then you may buy something from someone else, etc. But when times get tough, people tend to hold on to their money more tightly, and that is why the velocity of money goes down when recessions hit. In the chart below, the shaded areas represent recessions, and you can see that the velocity of money has declined during every single recession in the post-World War II era During the last recession, the velocity of money declined precipitously, and that makes perfect sense. But then a funny thing happened. There was a slight bump up once the recession was over, but then it turned down again and it has kept going down ever since. In fact, the velocity of money has now dropped to an all-time low. The velocity of M2 just recently dipped below 1.5 for the first time ever. This is not a sign of an economic recovery. What this tells us is that our economy is very, very sick. And we can see evidence of this sickness all around us. For instance,the Los Angeles Times is reporting that homelessness in Los Angeles increased by 11 percent last year, and this marked the fourth year in a row that homelessness in the city has increased Homelessness rose 11% in the city of Los Angeles and 5.7% in the county last year despite an intensive federal push that slashed the county ranks of homeless veterans by nearly a third, according to a report released Wednesday. The increasemarks the fourth consecutive year of rising homelessness in L.A., as local officials struggle to identify funding for billion-dollar plans they approved to solve the nations most intractable homeless problem. Let us also not forget that about half the country is basically flat broke at this point. Just recently, the Federal Reserve found that 47 percent of all Americans could not pay an unexpected $400 emergency room bill without selling something or borrowing the money from somewhere. With numbers such as these being reported, how in the world can anyone possibly claim that the U.S. economy is in good shape? It boggles the mind, and yet there are people out there that would actually have you believe that everything is just fine. The current occupant of the White House is one of them. With each passing month, the real economy is getting even worse. We may not have slipped into a full-blown economic depression just yet, but it is coming. For now, let us be thankful for whatever remains of our debt-fueled prosperity, because we dont deserve the massively inflated standard of living that we have been enjoying. We have been consuming far more than we produce for decades, but it wont last for much longer. And when those days are gone for good, we will mourn them bitterly. 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. My wife and I were discussing this very thing a few days ago. We live near a previously very busy rail route and have noticed the reduced traffic. Its always nice to hear that someone is paying attention! Good on you, doucyet (great name, too). This is so sad. Who ever wrote this article.They are not enginesThey are Locomotivesie: Diesel/Electrical Locomotive..Never the less they are sitting idle byI have a BNSF mainline two blocks from my houseThere use to be freight passing every 15 minutes to the major distribution yard in San Antonio, TxNow they pass about one train every two hoursThe Economy is worse off that they are saying.I read a report where the BNSF Locomotives are yarded in Denver, Col.. Due to the fact that India wants to up grade there old Loco stock by having a US Mfg plant built in country in a couple yearsI predict that the major carriers UP, BNSF will start liquidating their idle Motive Power to satisfy the stock holderslooks like it will be a long walk boys i think india will be from third world to third rate world economy as technology is poor and USA (as u said) want to transfer their old loco.s. the real economic collapse will start will european banks foul play in derivatives start eroding their capital. Trump will turn things around. Problem is in wallstreet. they are speculating in futures markets and have nearly 200 trillions worth of derivative with just top 5 banks. plus they r shorting gold and silver -god knows why. while at the same time china is accumulating tonnes of gold. they seem to have now 4000 tonnes of gold. USA supposedly has 8000 tonnes -i dont know if that is a false claim. very interesting to read this story. even our Defence also manages on technology that is imported -submarines. even our nuclear reactors are built by russia. there is nothing indegenious.. 
3	Why Vote When Our Votes Really Dont CountBy Catherine J. Frompovich Personally, Im a registered Independent! Im not very impressed with party politics, since Democratic candidates usually are, or have been, Republicans who switched parties, and vice versa. Current political shenanigans only leave me cold since the political agenda de jour is about political correctness and memes restructuring society into a moral morass, in my opinion, rather than dealing with real issues that are pushing us into a Corporatocracy. But thats my opinion! One of the more famous political party fence jumpers was the late Ronald Reagan, the Republican 40th President of the USA, who started out as a registered Democrat and an FDRs New Deal supporter in California. Hillary Clintonyesthe 2016 Democratic presidential nominee hopeful campaigned for Republican presidential campaigner Richard Nixon, and also worked for Barry Goldwaters campaign in 1964. Hillary even was elected president of Wellesley Colleges Young Republican Club! Leon Panetta joined the Nixon (R) administration as director of the Office of Civil Rights only later to become Bill Clintons (D) White House Chief of Staff! Condoleezza Rice was a registered Democrat, who voted for Jimmy Carter (D) but switched and became a rather high ranking Republican in the George W Bush (R) administration. Former NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg was a lifelong Democrat, who became the Republican mayor of New York City. The late Senator Arlen Spector represented the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate as a Republican from 1981 to 2009, but was a Democrat from 2009 to 2011. Democratic political gadfly Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts was a Republican at one time too! Arianna Huffington of The Huffington Post also is a political fence jumper. Former Secretary of Labor Elizabeth Dole switched from being a Democrat in 1969, and eventually wound up being in Republican president Reagans administration and Cabinet. [1] This website lists 21 of the most famous political party switchers of all time. Those who bang political party drums seem not to see the forest for the trees, in my opinion. Party politics infighting and voting party lines really leave me to wonder, Cant anyone think outside the box he or she has pledged their loyalties and surrendered their minds to? All the above leads up to this overlooked theme regarding politics, elections, and voting: Party politics rule-making and rigging! A friend recently emailed James Perloffs Blog wherein Perloff tells the story of what happened to a 2012 alternate delegate at the Republican convention in Tampa, Florida, who was representing candidate Ron Paul. Delegate Rachel McIntosh obviously had a very rude awakening about the dark, stinky underside belly of presidential campaign politics, conventions, and party national committees, which I think you will find equally disturbing after your read about her experiences here. The upshot of McIntoshs story is how Ron Paul was railroaded at the convention and Mitt Romney wound up being the favorite son and nominee of the Republican Party. It would seem that the very same shenanigans are going on now and the RNC is between a rock and a hard place regarding Donald Trumps popularity, including his majority of pledged delegates. Frankly, what I dont understand is how voters will allow party bosses to manipulate who becomes any partys presidential nominee, instead of what the people decide. Whats the use of holding caucuses, primaries, or even general elections, if its all rigged? I think all that political BS boils down to whom theythe controllerscan control while in the White House. The current president seems to be the ideal example. Hillary will be the perfect follow through president to sink the U.S. ship of state, in my opinion. However, with twelve FBI agents investigating her State Department emails, theres a possibility that her derriere may wind up in Quantico or somewhere like that, I offer. Since most legal minds agree there are legal problems for Hillary, see what you think after this news analyst explains. Hillary, like Barack Obama has, will rubber stamp the New World Order-Rockefeller-Rothschild-U.N. Agenda. However, Ron Paul would not march to party bosses dictums or the New World Order contingents plans and dreams for our future. Will The Donald or Bernie? As Perloff says, If you want to glimpse how far back this sort of power-brokering goes, read Ferdinand Lundbergs 1937 classic Americas Sixty Families. He related how, a century ago, the rich were scorning voters and maneuvering their own choices into nominations, whether a Democrat like Woodrow Wilson in 1912 or a Republican like Herbert Hoover in 1928. [2] So, shouldnt we be asking, Whats voting all about, and do our votes really count? To add to all the above, this article and video explain that computer programmers code computers to rig elections! That, I find totally reprehensible. Whats the use of voting? This YouTube video, wherein a computer programmer, Clinton Eugene Curtis, under oath in Florida says that in October of 2000 he was asked to write a program to rig elections; that would flip the vote 51-49; and confirmed that there is vote rigging software. His testimony will make you cringe when you hear him say, to control the votes in South Florida. The 2000 presidential election is the one the U.S. Supreme Court decided! What happened to the voters votes? Can, or will, that happen again, especially in 2016?

Stop voting, it only encourages violence. The act of voting also acts as consent to be ruled by criminals and psychopaths. You cant vote in the U.S. without enjoining yourself, the living being, to the corporate administrative system (U.S. Corp, etc.) and putting yourself under its jurisdiction. The top checkbox on the California voter reg form says I am a United States citizen. Thats a 14th Amendment citizen, not a citizen of one of the sovereign states of the union. This essentially restricts us to accepting only the rights and responsibilities allowed us by the system. This is all hidden. Yes, BRT, it IS all hidden from our normal view!! It is only by diligent searching for the truth that we can find and then see the truth of the matter, that Joseph Stalin was 100% correct about the ones who count the votes as being of any importance, not the ones who vote. Since I read the book Votescam in 1994, I have been trying to tell people about the futility of voting, but everyone is so damn addicted to the Kool-Aid of politics, that they cant bear even the thought of stopping! Also, since hiding known material facts is a form of fraud, THERE is your exit point from The Matrix!! Years ago I sent letters to the Registrar of Voters demanding that my name be removed form the voter rolls due to fraud on the part of the government, and I never hear from them for jury duty or anything political. You might want to read my latest paper called Pulling the Teeth Out of the Mouth of the Legal System. In short, all that needs to be done is to get into the public records that government agents commit fraud all of the time and no one has an obligation to be defrauded under any circumstances. Im not very impressed with party politics The two party system is the very thing that our framers and forefathers warned us to NEVER allow. The US Constitution does not require them. They are the factions they warned us about. George Washington: However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion. George Washington,farewell presidential speech: The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more Pretty wise words, and tell me where none of the things Washington warned us about concerning factions (political parties) have not come into being here today. John Adams: Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society. John Adams: There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution. You might want to consider these words by Michael LeMieux, and then read the US Constitution a few times as it is a short document since it does NOT delegate very many authorities to those that serve within the federal government: The Constitution has very little to do with the American citizen. It was written to establish a Federal Government and to place the boundaries by which that government would operate. The constitution was never designed to provide or enumerate the rights of the citizens but to restrain the federal government from meddling in state and ultimately citizen affairs. It is important to understand that Election Fraud is Treason against the American people, the USA, and our legitimate government. Yea, treason because they are working to destroy our nation from within, shut up the voice of the people. They have let foreign entities and governments into our elections, even to having the UN military on US grounds to see that the last couple of presidential elections went according to plan. What? You did not notice them? How could anyone NOT notice that they are treating the American people like they have been treating the people of other nations that have been unlawfully and illegally invaded in our name. The US Constitution tell us the remedy, why not read it and learn what it is? Thank God Im only passing through this dog and pony show life and am not committed to eternal damnation here. When my time is up hopefully Ill never be here again so if I dont take it as serious as the rest of you forgive me because I dont care now or after I leave here what happens on earth. Good Luck to your endeavor in changing the unchangeable . Always Vote!! It substantiates your right to sue the government about voter fraud. Always work to eliminate computers from the election process. There should be a paper verification of every vote cast. This would help make recounts truthful. As for political parties, get involved. Encourage like minded friends to get involved. Take over district and/or county parties; then state parties. You must be involved in this countrys political processes, or you will lose your country and all of its constitutional freedoms. There is no free lunch. Freedom is not a spectator sport. There is a big difference between not voting because someone is too lazy and not voting because they do not support an illegal, fraudulent system and do not consent to be ruled by murderers, liars and psychopaths. It means withdrawing consent so the system can finally fall on its sword and be rebuilt. Not voting is a vote of No Confidence and that accomplishes a lot more than Which lesser of two evils shall I endorse so they can continue to destroy my country? Not voting means you recognize youre being lied to constantly by every candidate about every important matter and you refuse to endorse intentional deception. Not voting is a declaration of independence and personal sovereignty. I dont care what pollsters and talking heads and politicians say or believe about my choice to not vote, it only matters that I conscientiously object and do not give my consent to wars, injustice, empire-building, and atrocities committed by those I helped to put into positions of power with my vote. Not voting is taking responsibility out of the hands of power hungry psychopaths and taking it back yourself. Even if NOBODY did vote one day, the corrupt State will, through its propaganda device the MSM, scream that millions did vote and the majority agreed with the policies of the State. Quite true, Croco. And its time we stopped letting the MSM, which is really just another corrupt aspect of government, determine our fate. It only matters what is in our hearts. This is why we have lost our way. Each of us must say No more, and then the system will crumble. We are that powerful we just dont believe it yet. Hogwash! Nonsense!! Your last line seems to imply that you think that by not voting, you cannot be held accountable for the sins of your nation. Sorry, as long as you are a citizen, you can be held accountable for the sins o your country. As a non-voting citizen, you are an irresponsible citizen who may be held more accountable. If you want to be free of the responsibilities and duties of a US citizen, I suggest you emigrate and renounce your US citizenship. And you are completely irresponsible for not knowing that elections are rigged, all of them. Ive been voting all my life, very involved in politics for going on 50 years now, so I dont need any lectures from you. One day I woke up and realized the system is rigged so thoroughly and completely that it doesnt matter who I vote for, the winner has already been picked by the men who own the voting machines. Its a fact, Jack. Ive seen how they do it. Theres that issue, plus I still havent gotten over the mortification of being duped into voting for Obama. I feel personal responsibility for what he has done while in office. Voting carries the responsibility of outcomes, one you apparently dont give a hoot about so long as you line up and pick the best liar of the group. You think I should emigrate for not agreeing with you and standing up for what I believe in? Go pound dirt. Hmmm Instead of those little stupid I voted stickers I like the I do not consent ones. If voting was going to make a real difference, it would be outlawed today. Mark Twain once said: If voting made a difference they wouldnt let us do it. Or something to that effect. 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. I am all in with you.Here is a way to keep the election machines legitimate (if you approve of it) :Each voter would make up an eight character unique userid and password for the login.cast yer vote.then get a receipt (date and time stamped and make sure the receipt represents yer vote)then the vote counters may count and publish (on a secure website) all votes with the unique userid (the owner would be the only person to know which is his or her id).They must publish the votes cast as this would legitimize to all voters that a vote cast is a vote counted.The voter then looks for this id (at the published sight) and ensure the votes are accurate.

'Who the hell does that asshole think he is?' said Culvert upon seeing the news report of Furlow's victory. 'I bought 40 tickets.' Culvert added that she needs the prize money far more than Furlow, as she has been on public assistance for the past two years. 
3	What Do They Know? Pentagon Releases Ominous Video Warning of Unavoidable Dystopian FutureBy Claire Bernish Titled Megacities: Urban Future, the Emerging Complexity, the five-minute video discusses urban warfare in the not-so-distant future, and the imagined difficulties of controlling sprawling populations in the coming utter chaos. Megacities are complex systems where people and structures are compressed together in ways that defy both our understanding of city planning and military doctrine, a stern voice narrates over mildly ominous background music and images of present-day urban blight and violence. These are the future breeding grounds, incubators, and launching pads for adversaries and hybrid threats. According to the Intercept, the video, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, has been shown as part of the Pentagons Joint Special Operations University (JSOU) course called Advanced Special Operations Combating Terrorism, for its lesson on The Emerging Terrorism Threat. But the terrorists depicted in its footage arent the stereotypical religious extremists currently the putative focus of a multi-fronted U.S. military campaign rather, the Pentagon warns, the enemy will be subversive elements arising amid dwindling resources as the stratification of wealth sharpens in the years to come. Growth will magnify the increasing separation between rich and poor, the narrator portends. Religious and ethnic tensions will be a defining element of the social landscape. Stagnation will coexist with unprecedented development, as impoverishment, slums, and shantytowns rapidly expand alongside modern highrises, technological advances, and ever-increasing levels of prosperity. This is the world of our future yet it is one we are not effectively prepared to operate within; and it is unavoidable. Megacities will host 60 percent of the worlds rapidly expanding population by 2030, the video notes, and urban centers will be the locus, where drivers of instability will converge instability brought by the inability of Earth to support exploding population, as in the lack of fresh water and sanitation, closer proximity of traditionally opposed ideologies, and burgeoning alternative forms of governance necessitated by such cramped living. Despite these sharply diminishing supplies, rigged electrical grids, and growing mass of unemployed, the narrator exhorts, technological advances will continue unabated, furthering the stark contrast between burgeoning alternative societies and what one must imagine the elite element looking down on it all. Where physical domains can be seen, digital domains will have limitless potential to breed and expand without limit, the narrator predicts over an image pulled from an Anonymous video. Digital security and trade will be increasingly threatened by sophisticated illicit economies and decentralized syndicates of crime to give adversaries global reach at an unprecedented level. It wouldnt be a stretch to surmise the video is taking aim at the growing number of cryptocurrencies, hackers, and frankly subversive agorist elements already working outside traditional governance and Big Bank-centered financial systems. As the Intercept points out, the video seemed at first to originate from JSOU, but in actuality was produced by the Army. It was made for an internal military audience to illuminate the challenges of operating in megacity environments, U.S. Army spokesperson William Layer told the Intercept by email. The video was privately produced pro-bono in spring of 2014 based on Megacities and the United States Army. The producer of the film wishes to remain anonymous. Understandable, that anonymity, given the hyperbolic if not terrifying portrait of the near future painted by flat narration against a backdrop of chaos and gloom. Even our counterinsurgency doctrine, narration continues, honed in the cities of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan, is inadequate to address the sheer scale of population in the future urban reality. We are facing environments that the masters of war never foresaw. We are facing a threat that requires us to redefine doctrine and the force in radically new and different ways. Megacities are, by definition, urban areas with a population of 10 million or more, and they have been a recent source of worry and research for the U.S. military, the Intercept notes. A 2014 Army report, titled Megacities and the United States Army, warned that the Army is currently unprepared. Although the Army has a long history of urban fighting, it has never dealt with an environment so complex and beyond the scope of its resources. A separate Army study published this year bemoans the fact that the U.S. Army is incapable of operating within the megacity. Dystopian though the video might be, it also makes the staggering assumption the fringe elements in these megacities will inherently operate as violent, criminal elements, rather than simply thwarting governance grown too overbearing to function rationally and justly. In this way, Megacities functions quite similarly to current controversial police training furthering the Us versus Them scaremongering without foundation in reality. Of course, this would be rational in the eyes of its military producer. This is a fantasy, the idea that there is a special military science of megacities, Mike Davis, author of Planet of Slums and Budas Wagon: A Brief History of the Car Bomb, told the Intercept. Its simply not the case. They seem to envision large cities with slum peripheries governed by antagonistic gangs, militias, or guerrilla movements that you can somehow fight using special ops methods. In truth, thats pretty far-fetched. You only have to watch Black Hawk Down and scale that up to the kind of problems you would have if you were in Karachi, for example. You can do special ops on a small-scale basis, but its absurd to imagine it being effective as any kind of strategy for control of a megacity. Control, it would seem, is the ultimate goal of the governments strong-arm military whether or not alternative subsets coexist peacefully in the shadow of their high rise-dwelling elite brethren. The threat is clear. Our direction remains to be defined. The future is urban. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Did you get a load of the demographics that they WANT to happen! These people WANT disparity, lawlessness, and are completely reactive. They see THEIR future and have been doing everything possible to make it so, even in America. These people are mass murderers hiding behind the DESIRE for a dystopian future so they can increase their business. It means making communities unsustainable, ever moving more people into impoverished environments with incredibly high disparity of living conditions. These people WANT this. The military WANTS centralization of power, public and private, and are nothing more than paid mercenaries for murder, torture, incarceration at their owners (those who pay them) command. The US military, expanding into a global entity itself, has NEVER fought for the freedom of Americans. They have, since George Washington, ALWAYS fought for the expansion of power and assets, along with their alphabet soup brethren, of the elite, and always in aggression. The only time there was ever a defense was 1812, and that was not for the peoples freedom but for monied interests to remain capable of future acts of their own aggression. Daniel Shayss rebellion, Whiskey rebellion and others, early in Americas existence identify that taxation and representation were only for a select few. The future cannot be set by these like minded diseased minds, just as their puppet regimes around the world have ruled in 3rd world countries helping provide wealth for the few while people suffer from the drugs, labor subterfuge, crumbling cities/townships/communities The National Security State and its support organizations operate in the dark, outside of the minds and vision of the majority who are intentionally not informed. Some sunlight is desperately needed to begin to correct this situation, with minds that bear good fruit, not death, harm and disease. YES! They havent met us country folks yet !!! LOL Were not going to make it easy for them! The centralization of military and police forces is going global with Europe working towards a central EU military force and Putin announcing last month Russias international and domestic forces will be reunited USSR style dubbed the resurrection of the KGB with the proposed name the same one used during Stalins reign of terror. Excellent post and I totally agree, BUT the Bible tells us that Satan WILL get his one world order because so many have been blinded to the truth. Have you tried to talk to a Democrat lately? They will not see the truth and may even get violent if you try to open their eyes. How do you fight Satans deception? Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The real power is with us. we have God on our side, because we are fighting this evil, and we will be protected, IF we do the work !! True that the Bible says we will be protected IF we are fighting on Gods side and for HIS law NOT mans. God is NOT saving nations now only individuals. Jesus also said: 1 John 2:15 love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. Love for our freedom and our country are things of THIS world not Gods coming kingdom! Pentagon video = psychological terrorism designed to create fear and hostility. Endless negative psychic energy being injected into the awake sectors. Best to stay grounded with each other and Mother Nature. Propaganda to keep us divided and ineffective. From what I see, slowly, but surely, many folks are ignoring this insanity and we, the people, will create our own reality and get our country back from these criminals and murderers. Very well said, Wyatt. Create our own realty, a beautiful sentiment. Im ready. Many, many of us have been ready. Unfortunately, a peaceful solution to this Good versus evil scenario will be anything but peaceful. So, with that, may God and the Angels give us strength in the face of our duties as free men, and the courage to deal with the menace within our own govt. I hear you and have been a big fan of Stewart Rhodes and his network. Hope it doesnt come down to that as too many Americans are still sleepers, their minds impervious to the insidious and incremental takeover. Divine providence will need to be at our backs to take the powerful stands we need and catalyze a massive consciousness shift. I would be honored to have your back, Sir, however that may be. I am trying to connect with folks, to form small squads, to help during a disaster, etc., Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You have a handle on it. Check: Community Preparedness web sites.

Man is the only animal that voluntarily lives in crowded conditions. In nature they disperse or die. Once they have us rounded up the poor,sick, disabled elderly will be eliminated biologically thru vaccines , select water delivery systems [see Janet Phelans articles] or DNA targeted viruses that are deadly to select groups. It has already begun. Remember the stories about Chinas ghost cities a few years ago? An article out this week announces Chinas plans to move 100 million peasant farmers into these empty cities and other urban locations a massive shift of people by 2020 less than four years awayand more over time. https://www.technocracy.news/index.php/2016/10/13/new-urban-agenda-chinese-government-to-move-100-million-farmers-to-cities-by-2020/ This dovetails with a govt promoted resurgence in Maoism and communist-level totalitarian rule for redistribution of resources under UN Agendas 21 and 2030. https://www.ft.com/content/63a5a9b2-85cd-11e6-8897-2359a58ac7a5 And when there are no farmers we will be eating Soylent Green. Unavoidable? Or their plan for the future? We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto determination practiced in past centuries. Thanks for spreading this around. Its important that everyone reads it. 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. Revelation 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as YET; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. Short-lived evil power ? Thats good for us to know !! True. The Bible says that Satan will reign for only three and a half years until Jesus returns. Its the day (last year of Satans reign) of Gods wrath that will be a killer for a lot of people who dont believe in God and Jesus Christ or have taken the mark of the beast to survive in this world. Sounds like most of the Dems to me. Rarely are these issues set in concrete. Heck, a meteor hit could destroy one of these NeoCon underground bunkers, if were lucky. We the people can survive and win this challenge of removing the parasites from our govt and replacing them with regular people who believe in liberty and our Constitution/Bill of Rights, and who have the best interests of these United States at heart. No wonder they are implementing Agenda 2030 and the global warming scarethey want to move us into compact cities where more of us can be killed and the depopulation agenda can be carried out more easily Remember that the military mind set is always us and them and how can we beat them. Normal people actually have the ability to put themselves in other peoples shoes and live in harmony with their brothers and sisters. I have often marveled at how you could have over 40 million people living within a 15 mile radius in Los Angles and not have total chaos. The paranoid and greed of the 1% wrote this video. Theyve already stolen enough of the worlds resources and land to make this dream come true. This so-called warning is their way of blaming events outside of their control as an excuse to begin preparing for the world THEY want when they usurp the the power (beginning with the loss of sovereignty and independence) of the worlds countries to execute their New World Order where everything belongs solely to them and is under their complete control. In the meantime, they will do all that they can to instill fear in us and terrorize us to weaken our strength and resolve, while making the next generation more compliant to their demands, through education and the media. Everybody wants to rule the world and the global corporate oligarchy intends and plans to do just that. De-population: toxic vaccines, created superbugs, toxic water and air, geoengineering, plagues that come from the labs, euthanasia, massive abortions and so on. They will get their cake and eat it too, no matter what the cost to the rest of us, as their plan started decades ago as made their useful idiots world leaders and, now, all that is left to do is to blame us and make us believe it. I can see this happening under Hillary and the Democrats because she will make Americans worse off than they are now with her new taxes and regulations. Of course the worst threat is her bringing in hundreds of thousands of potential Muslim terrorists which CANT be vetted, while leaving Christians to be killed by ISIS! That will make our biggest cities like New York hotbeds of terrorism! All good for the people isnt it? The future is urban Now Soylent Green is looking like a prophetic work as well as 1984 Its called the War on the Poor. All wars are Banker wars, and the only war that matters is the Class War. If the poor want to win this war, they should avoid conflict with the police and the military, and instead target the rich directly. The goal should be a new form of government, and a revolutionary economic system, that eliminates the extremes of wealth and poverty. Is there a link to the actual video? Youre living in them now, idiot! 
2	Controversial Hillary Clinton Documentary Released [VIDEO] For the past 8 years, weve seen what it is like to have a family of liars in the White House. Now, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton could grant America another four years if she is elected. It seems like each day we learn more about Clintons questionable past. Now, a suppressed documentary from 1993 has just surfacedand its shedding more light on the former Secretary of States character and associations, which are sketchy at best. All Americans need to see this before we head into the elections. We need an honest, respectable leader in the White House. Watch the video below and tell us what you think? 
1	Arcane, poorly translated scrolls etched by an unknown hand thousands of years ago were taken at face value Monday, when Pittsburgh orthodontist Donald Reuss consulted an English translation of a Hebraic manuscript titled 'Deuteronomy' for guidance in a personal crisis. Paul Browning, a professor of Middle Eastern history at Columbia University, examines one of the ancient parchment scrolls whose content is being taken literally by a surprising number of people. 'I was at my wits' end over what to do about my failing marriage,' Reuss said. 'Marjorie and I thought about counseling, therapy, even divorce. In the end, though, I got the help I needed from a book of stories inscribed by an itinerant Middle Eastern shepherd many millennia ago.' Reuss said he learned of the antediluvian text from a friend following an argument with his wife. 'Bob said he had a book that I should read,' Reuss said. 'I figured it would be some sort of self-help book written by one of those professional therapists born in the latter half of the 20th century. But to my surprise, it was a contemporary printing of a historical and genealogical account of the growth and persecution of the Jewish people, originally written in ancient Hebrew. And you know what? Not only were the tales relevant to my situation, they're completely true!' Deuteronomy, like the four other books with which it is often collected, is believed to have originated from the oral folklore of nomadic Jews who wandered the deserts of the Middle East. The stories that emerged from this oral tradition were handed down through subsequent generations and ultimately written down in now-dead tongues. In the modern era, the books have proven to be of great interest both to historians specializing in ancient Middle Eastern tribal cultures and to people with problems. Reuss is not the only troubled American to consult an ancient Nile Valley manuscript in recent years. In April 1998, Wayzata, MN, homemaker Brenda Smolensk credited 'Exodus' with guiding her through a period of severe depression. 'I was deeply confused about my place in the world,' Smolensk said. 'I needed to know what life was all about, what I was put on Earth for. Luckily, that exact matter had been discussed in Exodus by a roving scribe some 4,000 years ago.' 'At first, I was skeptical about what relevance these ancient writings could possibly have to my situation,' Smolensk continued. 'But they actually deal with all kinds of germane topics, from what meats one should not eat due to mankind's lack of refrigeration technology to the pre-Iron Age accounts of territorial disputes affecting a certain area of the Fertile Crescent.' 'We are pleased that so many have found comfort and guidance in God's word,' said Peter Wanamaker, president and founder of In His Name Books, a publishing house specializing in archaic texts of the sort which aided Reuss and Smolensk. 'The problems that plague modern man have not changed, and neither have the solutions.' 
2	EXCLUSIVE: Bergdahl Declared Jihad In Captivity, Secret Documents Show According to Fox News, exclusive documents that were prepared by an eyewitness claim that U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl converted to Islam and one point during his captivity. The reports also reveal that he socialized with his captors, declaring himself a mujahid or warrior for Islam. The reports conclude that Bergdahls relations with the Haqqani captors were shaped over time. At times, he was treated as a hostage and faced severe hostility. At others, he became much more of an accepted fellow and was even allowed to carry a gun the source told Fox News. He was even seen playing soccer and participating in gun practice with an AK-47. At one point, Bergdahl allegedly escaped his captors. He was gone for five days. When he was re-captured, he was kept in a metal cage. The documents also have details regarding discussions of prisoner swaps and other ideas that would ultimately lead to resolution. These conversations appear to have started as early as 2009. The reports are full of detail, ranging from the names and locations of Haqqani commanders, to a detailed view of Bergdahls day to day life. The reports were generated by the Eclipse Group, a private firm of former intelligence operatives that are often brought in to the Defense Department and other prominent corporations to give details on terrorist activities and other topics regarding security. The group is currently run by former senior operations officer Duane R. (Dewey) Clarridge. Clarridge, who worked for the CIA in the 1980s, is best known for his indictment for lying to Congress about his role in the Iran-Contra scandal. He was pardoned by President Bush in 1992. Alongside his notoriety, Clarridge boasts a long list of achievements, including a strong role in the development of the counterterrorism center for the CIA. Clarridge told Fox News that even though he was on subcontract through the Secretary of Defense for Special Operations at one point, he invested $50,000 of his own to keep a network of informants and handlers on Bergdahls status. Clarridge claims that one of his reports, dated back to August 23, 2012, which revealed that Bergdahl had declared himself a mujahid was in the reports provided. The documents given to Fox News also show that Eclipse created and delivered many status reports on the whereabouts of Bergdahl, in a period ranging from October 2009 to about August 2012. A U.S. Marin Corps General claims that CENTCOM received bits and pieces of information, but was never forwarded the specifics cited by Fox News. He also claimed that no one at CENTCOM or within the broader intelligence community ever learned anything suggest that Bergdahl had evolved into an active collaborator with the Haqqani network, claiming there was never any evidence of collaboration. Still, Fox News reported that Bergdahl was the subject of a major classified file prepared by the United States intelligence community. Many members of that community expressed concerns about Bergdahl, claiming that he may have engaged in collaboration. The report noted: Conditions for Bergdahl have greatly relaxed since the time of the escape. Bergdahl has converted to Islam and now describes himself as a mujahid. Bergdahl enjoys a modicum of freedom, and engages in target practice with the local mujahedeen, firing AK47s. Bergdahl is even allowed to carry a loaded gun on occasion. Bergdahl plays soccer with his guards and bounds around the pitch like a mad man. He appears to be well and happy, and has a noticeable habit of laughing frequently and saying Salaam repeatedly. What do you think? Was it wrong to release 5 terrorists in exchange for Bergdahl? 
3	All the worlds oceans have plastic debris on their surface, passing into food chainselfnews Post However, central surface waters of the oceans may not be the final destination of plastic debris since, as indicated by the study performed by the Malaspina Expedition, large amounts of microplastics could be passing to the marine food chain and the ocean floor. Results of the study, led by the University of Cadiz (Spain), have been published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Andrs Czar, researcher from the University of Cadiz, explains: Ocean currents carry plastic objects which split into smaller and smaller fragments due to solar radiation. Those little pieces of plastic, known as microplastics, can last hundreds of years and were detected in 88% of the ocean surface sampled during the Malaspina Expedition 2010. According to the study authors, the results obtained by the Malaspina Expedition show that the problem of plastic waste pollution has a global character. The major residues found are polyethylene and polypropylene, polymers used in the manufacture of everyday products like bags, food and beverage containers, kitchen utensils and toys, among others. Czar adds: These microplastics have an influence on the behavior and the food chain of marine organisms. On one hand, the tiny plastic fragments often accumulate contaminants that, if swallowed, can be passed to organisms during digestion; without forgetting the gastrointestinal obstructions, which are another of the most common problems with this type of waste. On the other hand, the abundance of floating plastic fragments allows many small organisms to sail on them and colonize places they could not access to previously. But probably, most of the impacts taking place due to plastic pollution in the oceans are not yet known. The Malaspina Expedition The Malaspina Circumnavigation Expedition 2010, a project led by CSIC that includes more than 400 researchers from around the world, started in December 15th 2010 with the departure of the Hesprides oceanographic research vessel from the port of Cadiz. On board of this ship belonging to the Spanish Armada, and the Sarmiento de Gamboa ship belonging to the CSIC, researchers studied for nine months (seven aboard the Hesprides and two aboard the Sarmiento) the impact of the global change on the ocean ecosystem and explored its biodiversity. Scientists took nearly 200,000 water, plankton, atmosphere particles and gases samples in 313 points of the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans at depths of up to 6,000 meters. On board, they measured the temperature and salinity, the surface properties, the acoustics of the marine currents, the concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the ocean and in the atmosphere, and the scope of the sunlight, among other parameters.

The double agent instead arranged for the explosive device to be delivered to US intelligence agents in Yemen, and he is now out of the country and being debriefed. The bomb is reportedly currently being analysed at an FBI laboratory. Yet again the scepticism of the alternative media including ResistRadio.com towards another apparent terror plot, appears to have been wholly justified.

2	Tennessee School Initiates Suspension For Students With Saggy Pants According to recent reports, a high school in Bolivar, Tennessee has come under fire after ordering two high school seniors to spend 48 hours in jail. Why? They violated the districts dress code with their saggy pants. The two students were part of a group of four involved in the incident. They were charged with exposure back in November. After that point, the students received multiple warnings. The schools dress code specifies that pants must be worn to the waistline, specifically banning low slung, baggy-legged or bell-bottom pants. Students are also expected to dress in a neat and modest manner. According to resource officer William Hoyle, the students continued to defy the school dress code, and raised concerns among parents and faculty for the impact the exposure would have on the younger students. The environment is already bad, and it aint gonna get any better if the older kids dont try to show the younger kids anything, Hoyle told reporters. Questions still remain as to whether the two students deserved jail time for their actions. What do you think? Do you support this school districts policies?

3	Can This Spray-On Clothing Clean Up The BP Oil Disaster?Heather Callaghan Spanish innovator Manel Torres is about to rock the fashion world; yet, his invention that was inspired by silly string, can go beyond fashion and clean up the impossible. Fabrican is an aerosol spray that contains fibers and liquid polymers that dry and solidify when reached by air. This clothing, which is also non-flammable, would always fit the individual. It goes on the body like a second layer of skin in an unwoven fabric that comfortably rests on the wearer. It can be sculpted into different designs and painted for any color. One of the most compelling parts of the video was also the least focused upon. Torres does a small scale demonstration of oil resting on water in a bin. He then sprays the fabric web atop the water and the oil immediately absorbs into the floating gauze. He scoops up the soiled gauze, saying everything can be easily removed after the cleanup. Although abated in the news, the aftermath of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion continues on with coverups, job loss, economic devastation, mysterious disease symptoms in humans, and death of aquatic life. Not only did they use sub-company contractors to further pollute the gulf with toxic Corexit, but the bulk of their clean up since then has been spent on unhelpful boosts and PR sleight-of-hand.RTs Abby Martin gives a recap here, focusing on BPs paid PR trolls threatening online critics. On top of that and the $56 billion in fines, cleanup, etc., they used $92 million to sponsor tourism ads for the gulf which was misleading and insulting at best. They paid offmillions more to law enforcement, churches, and other organizations for a boost but neglected to pay any ill health claims. Yet, this entire time there have been many innovators to come forth offering to clean up their mess. One prime example is whistleblower Ron Johnson who has a pending lawsuit against BP with startling revelations of collusion and coverup. Furthermore, his invention, created 10 years before the disaster could have contained 100% of the spill in a few days, with no need for other toxins or oil fouling up thousands of miles beyond the shoreline. No need for the President to create a $20 billion response action, 30,000 people to help with cleanup efforts, job loss and health problems, or the thousands of animals that died, some of which were endangered. (source) Johnsons Submerged Oil Containment Kit (The S.O.C.K): When he was asked if he believed he could have contained the entire spill, he said: The real question is, will innovators ever be allowed to help and why not? If Ron Johnsons allegations are true, then it would appear that BP and its affiliates wish to maintain a strict monopoly over the oil recovery industry at everyone elses expense.

1	Former Virginia senator Charles Robb, ousted from Congress in the 2000 elections by Republican challenger George Allen, continues to hang around the Capitol building nearly two years later, sources reported Monday. Former Virginia senator Chuck Robb loiters outside the U.S. Capitol. 'I saw him again this morning,' said Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK), who served on various subcommittees with Robb during his 1989-2001 senate tenure. 'As usual, he was leaning against a column by the front steps, smoking a cigarette. I tried to act like I didn't see him, but he flagged me down and started asking me all these questions about new legislation and 'what's been up with everybody.' It was so awkward.' While most ousted legislators land jobs in the private sector, go on the speaking circuit, or retire, Robb has struggled with the transition to post-senate life. 'Serving in Congress was the highlight of Chuck's life, and he just hasn't been able to let that go and move on,' said Mark Shields, moderator of CNN's The Capital Gang. 'I think that by loitering around the Capitol, he can convince himself he's still in the loop.' The day after Robb's election loss to Allen, numerous friends and colleagues dropped by his office to wish him good luck in future endeavors. Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) recalled telling Robb 'not to be a stranger'unaware of just how faithfully the departing senator would heed the words. 'The first week after the Senate reconvened in January, he showed up,' Biden said. 'Everyone was excited to see him again and made a big deal about his dropping by. But then he just kept coming back. I used to joke about making him an honorary Senator For Life, but he seemed to take that a bit too seriously, so I stopped.' In spite of their discomfort with Robb's constant presence, most senators concede that he is generally unobtrusive. 'Mostly, he just likes shooting the breeze,' Sen. Wayne Allard (R-CO) said. 'He'll talk to you if you just want to chat, but he doesn't mind making himself scarce when there's work to be done. It's weird asking him to leave when, just two years ago, he would have been working alongside us.' Because the Capitol is a public building, Robb is free to roam its halls during visiting hours. So omnipresent is Robb, senators occasionally forget that he is no longer an elected member. 'I approached Chuck one day to ask if I could count on his support for my new clean-water bill,' Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) said. 'He just looked at me and said, 'I would, Pat, but federal law prohibits non-senators from voting.' I completely forgot he wasn't a senator anymore.' 'Sometimes, I'll spot him with a tour group up in the balcony of the senate chambers, sighing loudly,' Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID) said. 'Sad.' Not all senators are as tolerant of Robb. 'The most important work in the country is being done in this building,' said Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott (R-MS). 'Charles is a nice enough fella, but he has no business being here. This is a lawmaking body, not a clubhouse.' 
1	Faced with a menial and unappealing task they had no desire to perform themselves, a group of wealthy white people brought in a Latino man to complete the thankless labor for them Tuesday, sources confirmed. This opportunityto make it to the middle class or beyond no matter where you start out in lifeit isnt bestowed on us from Washington, said the Hispanic guy, who was given explicit instructions and was warned by the privileged, affluent Caucasians to make sure he completed the unrewarding chore to their exact specifications. It comes from a vibrant free economy where people can risk their own money to open a business. More government isnt going to create new opportunities. Its going to limit them. Following the completion of his tedious labor, the man was reportedly asked if he had any Latino friends who might also be willing to take on some work for the white millionaires for modest compensation. 
2	Anti Islamic Sign Posted At The US Border Is Outraging Muslims Across The World [PHOTO] It is becoming increasingly clear that Sharia Law is a contentious issue that continues to arise in the United States. Meanwhile, liberals continue to turn the other cheek. Recently, a sign was discovered that illustrates the issue of Sharia law taking place in the United States. Now, liberals are turning their silence into complaints. The sign reads, U.S. BorderYou are entering a Sharia-free zonePlease set your watches forward 1,400 years. The sign comes after Sharia Law has forced even large American chain retailers to give in to demands. States have even taken action to ban Sharia Law. What do you think of the sign? Do you support banning the violent religious law?

3	Uber Faces Another Privacy Complaint - Tracking Users After Leaving Car?By Amanda Warren Unfortunately, the admiration bumps up against hesitation with fears of surveillance and tracking via its state-of-the-art software. That technology may have led to a $200+ million investment by Google last year. It was rumored that the investment would go towards expansion into person-to-person delivery service, but so far those dreams are unrealized. Last Monday, after catching wind of an anticipated privacy policy change, a privacy-rights organization is joining up with the Federal Trade Commission to contest Ubers alleged desire to track and collect user data. Newsfactor has just reported: In a 23-page complaint filed with the Federal Trade Commission, the Electronic Privacy Information Center called for the agency to investigate Uber and halt possible privacy invasions ahead of a revised policy set to take effect July 15. Ubers revised privacy policy creates several risks for American consumers, said EPIC in its complaint. Uber adamantly denies the charge and says that the complaint has no basis and that users would be in control of how they release personal information. The company promised that the privacy statement would be simpler, easier to read and clearly state the users privacy boundaries as far as data collection goes. But if there is a basis to EPICs complaint, than it is a big one. Newsfactor continues: The biggest concern for EPIC, a Washington D.C.-based research center, is that Uber will collect location data from passengers even after they arrive at their destinations, as the Uber app can track GPS data if left running in the background of an iPhone, or other iOS device. Even users who turn off their GPS location finder could still be found through their phone IP address, which the privacy policy says offers a unique identifier for each user. EPIC also claims that Uber will be able to access passengers contact lists, which it could use to send out promotional ads. Such practices would not comprise new parts of the privacy policy. Rather, they are existing data collection possibilities that have come under scrutiny after Uber revised its policy May 28, with the intent, it said, to be jargon-free and clear to readers. [] According to EPIC, Uber tracked the location of journalists reporting on the company who had used its app, and one employee shared that data within the company. Other employees had turned on God View, an internal program, to track customers without their knowledge. The FTC, so far, remains silent on any further action. Uber stands by the software and user-privacy. It acknowledges the softwares potential for tracking and gathering data like contact lists but says that it remains with the users to allow permission to access that data or not. How that user-control takes place is a mystery until July 15. What is your prediction? Is Uber a victim of free market circumstance and remains for the people, or is it becoming a new arm of corpramental Big Brother? Do you trust them? Leave your comments below and share the discourse.

2	BREAKING: Sasha And Malia At The Center Of Terrifying Scandal For some time now, Americans have criticized the Obamas for claiming to understand the struggle to get by while theyre sending their daughters to an extraordinarily expensive high school. Sidwell Friends is an elite private school that is attended by the children of many of the key players in Washington. Costing more than the average college at nearly $38,000 a year, the school has been described as the Harvard of Washingtons private schools. Sasha and Malia have been attending the school for some time now, since Obama took office in 2009. They follow the footsteps of Chelsea Clinton and Tricia Nixon, two first daughters who also attended the ritzy school. The school has seen many drug-related scandals, but this latest one tops the list. According to reports, a female student at the school has just come forward to report that she was raped on campus by her ex-boyfriend. The student claims the rape occurred on Wednesday in the afternoon and evening hours. It is unclear where on campus the terrible act occurred. 
1	Police detectives investigating an alleged dog-bite injury to James Harrison III, the son of Pittsburgh Steeler James Harrison, said that recent evidence suggests the linebacker became agitated by the toddler's crying last Wednesday and bit the child himself. 'After carefully piecing together testimony from people at the scene, we believe witnesses were trying to protect Mr. Harrison, who after all is a creature of instinct and may not be responsible for his actions,' Officer Mark Bendiger told reporters. 'If that turns out to be the case, the legal liability will actually rest with Harrison's handlers. Linebackers can be an aggressive breed, and we've seen plenty of examples of how poorly trained and badly socialized James is in particular.' James III is almost completely recovered and has been released from Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, while his father has been quarantined at Animal, Linebacker, and Wide Receiver Control of McKees Rocks, PA. 
3	Voters in Worlds 6th Largest Economy Nullify Unconstitutional Federal Marijuana ProhibitionBy Michael Boldin With passage of Proposition64, Californians who are 21 and older will be able topossess, transport and buy up to 28.5 grams of marijuana and to use it for recreational purposes. That expands the law that 20 years ago legalized marijuana for medical use, the first state in the country to do so. However, all of this is prohibited under the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA), an unconstitutional measure passed in 1970. Of course, the federal government lacks any constitutional authority to ban or regulate marijuana within the borders of a state, despite the opinion of the politically connected lawyers on the Supreme Court. If you doubt this, ask yourself why it took a constitutional amendment to institute federal alcohol prohibition. Legalization of marijuana in Californiaremoves a hugelayer of laws prohibiting the possession and use of marijuana in the worlds 6th largest economy, something that will be extremely difficult for federal prohibitionists to overcome. Nearly 40 million more people will soon be living in a state that has decided to tax and regulate marijuana like alcohol rather than treat it like a criminal enterprise. FBI statistics show that law enforcement makes approximately 99 of 100 marijuana arrests under state, not federal law. By mostly endingstate prohibition, Californiaessentially sweeps away mostof the basis for 99 percent of marijuana arrests. Furthermore, figures indicate it would take 40 percent of the DEAs yearly-budget just to investigate and raid all of the dispensaries in Los Angeles a single city in a single state. That doesnt include the cost of prosecution. The lesson? The feds lack the resources to enforce marijuana prohibition without state assistance. Californiawas one of eight states with measures on the ballot to to legalize marijuana for either for medical or general adult use today. This is the largest number of states that have considered nullifying marijuana prohibition in a single election cycle. The state joins a growing number that are simply ignoring federal prohibition, and nullifying it in practice. Colorado, Washington state, Oregon and Alaska have all legalized both recreational and medical marijuana, and more than two-dozen states now allow cannabis for medical use, with Florida joining them earlier tonight. With half the country legalizing marijuana, the feds find themselves in a position where they simply cant enforce prohibition any more. The lesson here is pretty straight forward. When enough people say, No! to the federal government, and enough states pass laws backing those people up, theres not much the feds can do to shove their so-called laws, regulations or mandates down our throats. Californians will regret passing this sham of a proposition. It was poorly written by the 1% for the 1%. We just handed our marijuana industry over to corporations! Monsanto is thrilled! Tell all the 18-20 yr. old smokers how great jail is going to be because thats where they will end up if caught. We had the best medical marijuana laws in the nation (2 pgs. long) that are now going to be replaced w/60+ pgs. of regulations! Dumb, dumb, dumb! And I am a smoker saying this. We should have waited and got it right! I still say KUDOS to the states and thumbs down to the feds. 
2	Trump Escalates Megyn Kelly Feed By Calling Her THIS And Posting Sexual Photo Of Her To The Internet Donald Trump and Megyn Kelly have a long history. It all started with the first Republican Debate, and has led up to the most decent debate, where Trump decided to boycott because Fox News wouldnt remove Kelly as moderator. Instead, Trump held his own event for wounded veterans at the same time as the debate. Many thought the battle between Trump and Kelly would end there. Nope. Yesterday, Trump posted a tweet that contained a slightly questionable picture and caption to go along with it. He posted the picture of Megyn Kelly from the GQ Magazine, with the intention of calling her a hypocrite. Whats even more controversial is the caption that went along with it. @gene70: @FireFlyFury @megynkelly @realDonaldTrump And this is the bimbo thats asking presidential questions? pic.twitter.com/oU1uUGnuWb Its not common for presidential candidates to be throwing around the word bimbo. Although Trump isnt your every day candidate. Do you think Trump went too far with this post? 
2	My Jaw Dropped When I Stepped Inside Her Adorable Retro Camper. How Can It Be This Functional? With a renewed emphasis on minimalism and sustainability, many are looking to simplify their lives by downsizing their homes. Over the past few years, weve seen an increase in people selling their homes to live in renovated campers. We were amazed in just how functional these tiny homes can be. Take, instance, the Gidget Bondi model Airstream trailer in this video tour. This retro camper is small enough to be moved by hand, and though it looks very compact, every space is amazingly maximized. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Did you expect the inside to be this nice? 
1	Clearly frustrated by the third disheartening rampage on their town this week, a band of perturbed, torch-wielding villagers gathered at the gates of Dr. Benedikte Cojocaru's castle Monday to confront the monster that had left a trail of inappropriate destruction and chaos, in hopes of communicating how let down they all felt by his murderous actions, sources said. 'What were you thinking?' respected village elder Petar Grul said. 'You've been out all night, doing God knows what, while we cower in our homes unable to sleep. Frankly, we're at the end of our rope here.' 'Justjust don't say anything,' Grul added after the raging creature hurled a massive chunk of masonry down from the parapet at the assembled crowd. 'You go think about what you did.' The stern, no-nonsense confrontation was only the latest in a series of vexing monster-related incidents. Over the past year, similar rampages have killed 22 people and an entire flock of sheep, destroyed a flour mill, and left the townspeople wondering if the beast ever even considers their feelings at all. A number of residents who have lost their patience with the unholy creation said they have tried being mad, but decided it is not worth the effort if the monster is just going to keep crushing the skull of every innocent blacksmith's daughter who makes the mistake of offering him a flower. According to Grul, the townspeople have 'had just about enough of this business,' and resolved to address the issue openly with a full and frank discussion, 'no matter how painful it may be.' A two-hour chase through foggy moors ensued, at which point the monster took refuge in the closest thing he had to a home, the castle of his creation. Abandoning previous tactics of setting more specific boundaries, taking away privileges, and lighting him afire, the mob cornered the beast to unleash their chagrin. 'You may be an abomination in the eyes of God, but that doesn't give you the right to terrorize us,' villager Sorin Mironescu yelled. 'And don't you try to change the subject by saying you never asked to be created. We all have problems. You are a miracle of science, darn it, and it's time you started acting like one.' Should the mob fail to get through to the monster, sources said its members plan to go home, bolt their doors and windows shut, throw up their arms, and have a long talk about what to do next. 'I just think he's capable of doing so much better,' said Stefan Mikrvicz, who has personally had 'more than a few' run-ins with the monster. 'We're not here to assign blame, but on the other hand, we do feel this situation really needs to be improved.' The monster is reportedly a hideous patchwork of human and animal parts stitched together into a rough approximation of a person, and is possessed of the strength of 10 men. It was created with limbs and organs stolen from graves and was imbued with the spark of life through a powerful magnet by crazed scientist and prominent community figure Doctor Cojocaru, who described himself as 'totally exasperated' by the whole ordeal. 'Look at him,' said Cojocaru, gesturing to the snarling man-thing pacing the castle's ramparts. 'I made him to triumph over death itself and play God, not to sit here and watch him make bad choice after bad choice. Was it me? He's really let us all down, and I just don't know where we went wrong.' Efforts to coax the monster outside for a good talking-to, including pitchfork-waving, rock-throwing, and guilt-tripping, have thus far yielded no positive results. 'He's obviously a smart guyhe mastered the power of human speech without being taught, and that says a lot,' villager Theodr Brezeanu said. 'But we can't help him unless he helps himself. Right now all he seems to want to do is hang out and drown small children for no good reason.' This is not the first time Ceamurlia has had its expectations dashed by a horrific creature. In 2004, a werewolf tore apart three villagers in a dismaying bloodbath, and in 2007, a local vampire created an army of undead and filled everyone with shame. Despite the loss of livestock, family members, and trust, many villagers continue to believe the sullen beast will someday straighten up and be more like Count Radulescu's monster, who always makes such nice finger sandwiches for their parties. 
2	NFL Owner Bans Players From Protesting, Its All Over Now In the past few months, several NFL players have made headlines for refusing to stand during the national anthem. Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin has said that at least one owner in the NFL has ordered players to stand and honor our country and flag. Some suspect that owner is Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys. In an interview with HBOs Bill Simmons, Baldwin claims one or more owners have told their players to do specific things or not do specific thingsregarding the national anthem and protests. The Seahawks wide receiver said he thought that was egregious. The one quote that I was informed of was, Youre going to stand on the line with your hand on your heart and youre going to sing the national anthem because this is my stage, Baldwin commented. The recent protests have centered on race relations in the United States, including police violence and the use of lethal force. Baldwin has participated in the protests, refusing to stand for the anthem in a twisted effort to show solidarity with black people in the country. More than half of the players in the NFL are black. We strongly, strongly support the flag in every way we supportand its almost ridiculous to be sayingthe people that for generations and generations that have given it all up so that we can get out here and show off in front of millions of people on television, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said, calling the decision not to stand a disappointment. Jones also added that the NFL was an important forum for America. Im for it being used in every way we can to support the great, great contributors in our society, he concluded. And thats people that have supported America, the flag, and theres no reason to not go all out there. And for anybody to use parts of that visibility to do otherwise is really disappointing. What do you think? Do you agree with Jones? 
1	Local resident Tom Fletcher announced Wednesday that he has made all the necessary arrangements and cleared his entire schedule so that he can spend a quiet, uninterrupted weekend reconnecting with his Xbox 360. Fletcher admitted to reporters that he's been neglecting the console for the past six months, but said he hopes the two-day, three-night living room getaway will go a long way toward reviving the tight bond he once had with his Xbox. 'It's going to be really nice,' the 33-year-old structural engineer said of the upcoming weekend. 'No phone calls, no e-mails, no distractions whatsoever. Just me and my Xbox 360. I'll probably even open up a few nice bottles of Arizona Iced Tea for the occasion.' 'Hopefully it'll be like it was in the beginning when everything was fresh and new and fun,' he added. 'When starting a new game didn't feel like a chore, like work.' Fletcher said he plans to ease into the weekend with a little bit of Madden, which he hopes will then lead to a long and passionate night of game playing. Fletcher also told reporters that rather than get up early the next morning, he will most likely sleep in, make some breakfast, and spend the whole day just lying around with his Xbox. 'After months of talking about it, I'm finally going to start Fallout 3,' Fletcher said. 'That's how committed I am to this thing.' Claiming that the special weekend comes at a critical moment in his four-year relationship with the gaming system, Fletcher said his Xbox barely seems like a part of his life these days: He rarely acknowledges the console when he gets home from work, and 'wouldn't even notice it' if it weren't right next to the television set. Sometimes, Fletcher said, he looks at the Xbox just sitting there, un-played, and feels guilty for not even wanting to touch it anymore. 'I hate to say it, but sometimes I'll sneak into a GameStop and start fooling around with a PlayStation 3,' Fletcher said. 'God. Why would I do that when I have a perfectly good Xbox 360 at home? What's wrong with me?' According to Fletcher, his decision to put everything aside and focus on making the Xbox his No. 1 priority again came late last week when he suddenly realized he could no longer remember how many games he had or even what their names were. 'Look, I love my Xbox, I really do. We've had a lot of great times together,' he said. 'But life got in the way, you know? Suddenly you have more responsibilities at work, or you're just too tired, or your wife needs help with the kids, and the things that really matter fall by the wayside. Well, now it's time to make things right.' Fletcher told reporters he is ready to put in the effort to make this weekend special, acknowledging that his own actions are what brought the troubled relationship to this point. While he's looking forward to the weekend, and remained confident he and the Mass Effect game he started six months ago can pick up where they left off, Fletcher admitted that there's always a chance they won't be able to recapture the old magic. 'Yes, there's a possibilityno matter how slimthat I'll hold that controller in my hands, and it just won't feel right anymore,' Fletcher said. 'Who knows? Maybe I'll realize I'm just not ready for this kind of commitment. Whatever happens, though, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Together.' 
1	White House sources reported Monday that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld is the only cabinet member who can figure out how to change the toner in the White House printer. 'Let me walk you through it again,' Rumsfeld said. 'You lift the toner-cartridge lid, then you move this switch back and remove the old cartridge. That goes in el garbage. Next, you remove this tape here from the new cartridgenow, that's important. If you forget that, you'll be printing blank pages all day long. Okay, so you just slide it on in, and you're good to go.' When reached for comment, Rumsfeld said he doesn't mind changing the toner, but doesn't see what's so hard about it. 
2	VIDEO: Hamas Terrorists Fire Missiles At Israel From Inside Hospital, See What Happens Next A new video released by the Israeli Military shows the terrorist group Hamas turning a Hospital into a command center. They are also using the site to launch rockets, and shows terrorists firing at IDF forces from inside the hospital. Luckily, there were no staff of injured civilians in the hospital. The IDF was able to target specific sites and terrorists within the hospital, and the video shows the explosions that ensue. Watch the eerie video below: UPDATE: Sorry the video has been removed. 
1	Continuing a tradition that stretches back to his early years with the Miami Heat, Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy routinely presents his players with classic barbecue cookbooks to inspire them and provide insights during road trips. During the team's long West Coast swing in December, Dwight Howard was given Barbecue America: A Pilgrimage In Search Of America's Best Barbecue, while Vince Carter was seen reading Cheryl Jamison's 400-page tome Sublime Smoke: Bold New Flavors Inspired By The Old Art Of Barbecue. And in a clear attempt to get J.J. Redick to tap into the success of his Duke-playing days, Van Gundy gave the Magic guard Paul Kirk's Championship Barbecue Sauces: 175 Make-Your-Own Sauces, Marinades, Dry Rubs, Wet Rubs, Mops, And Salsas. But for their upcoming three-game sojourn away from the friendly confines of Amway Arena, the spiritual Van Gundyknown throughout the league as a barbecue pit masterbucked the tradition of handing out personalized volumes and made the unorthodox choice of giving all his players the same book to read: Ray Lampe's Dr. BBQ's Big-Time Barbecue Cookbook. 'Our guys need to have a singular mind-set. They need to understand the oneness that can be achieved between man and slow-cooked, mouthwatering meats,' Van Gundy told reporters over three dozen hot wings at Wing Zone, a downtown Orlando eatery, Tuesday. 'This book is written by a true champion, someone who can give our players the courage and insight they need to smoke an entire pig for a feast that family and friends will never forget.' 'And, um, make a title run,' added Van Gundy, reaching for more napkins. Throughout his six-year head coaching career, Van Gundy has separated himself from his colleagues not just with his impressive record, but with a Zen-like commitment to getting his players to think about the world of barbecue in a different way. Orlando Magic players have said that Van Gundy is always finding new ways to motivate his team, whether showing them inspirational footage of his 23-year-old self receiving his official barbecue-competition judge's certificate, or canceling practice altogether to take them to a classic Kansas City rib joint. During their victory over the Lakers last Sunday, Van Gundy called a timeout for a quick meditation and breathing session, encouraging his players to remember the aroma of the plate of brisket he ate during halftime. 'He preaches patience,' guard Jason Williams said. 'Whenever we're rushing things on offense, he'll always tell us to slow down and imagine the poise and control it took for some of the country's greatest barbecue chefs to infuse their pork rib slabs with a handcrafted spice blend, refrigerate them in marinade for 12 hours, massage them, and then patiently cooking them 'low and slow' for another 10 hours at 250 degrees.' Van Gundy reportedly promised his team that Dr. BBQ's Big-Time Barbecue Cookbook will force them to step outside themselves and ask metaphysical questions about the cooking style, such as: What is the true difference between grilling and barbecuing? What is the best barbecue smoker to buy, and how do I use it to its full potential? When can you trust your own instincts to predict a beef brisket's marbleization, and when do you enlist the wisdom of others? And most importantly, what are the secrets to becoming a true barbecue champion?' Van Gundy said he believes the 320-page volume will help his team reach a state of barbecue enlightenment. 'There are some parts that are a little tough to wade through, like when Dr. BBQ talks about the difference between cooking over logs and charcoal, but there's a saying: Open a book, open your mind,' Van Gundy told reporters. 'And I think the message of this book is that you can achieve your dreams without spending thousands of dollars on a high-end grill or barbecue pit.' 'In here,' Van Gundy said while holding the sauce-stained book, 'are lessons they will never forget.' 'It's helpful,' said forward Matt Barnes, noting that the book had inspired more than a few locker-room discussions. 'It certainly got me thinking in ways I wouldn't have otherwise. But I don't know if I believe in all that mumbo jumbo, especially the stuff about aluminum foil ruining the bark of the meat.' Though Van Gundy's methods have been effective, he says that he hasn't let his reputation as a pit guru go to his head. In his office, a message tacked to his wall reads: 'There are no barbecue masters. There is only masterful barbecue.' ''Barbecue master' is a contradiction,' Van Gundy said. 'No one ever truly masters it.' 
1	Saying that he's had a few movie ideas kicking around for a while now, local resident and very depressing man Scott Norgren purchased screenwriting software Tuesday. 'I'm excited,' said the 36-year-old sad sack, who bought the popular program Final Draft 8 at Best Buy during his work lunch break. 'I figured that if I'm going to give screenwriting a try, I should have the right software.' 'It's supposed to make the whole process easier,' the poor sonofabitch added. 'Like the outlining, for example.' Norgren, who spent several weeks making careful notes on the screenwriting programs currently on the market, finally settled on Final Draft not just because of its formatting capabilities, but also because the software came highly recommended by some of Hollywood's top screenwriters. The title of this screenplay alone would make you cringe in embarrassment and feel overwhelming pity for the pathetic man who wrote it. 'The website says James Cameron uses Final Draft,' Norgren said. 'He wrote Avatar with this.' According to sources close to the HR administrator, the sad man was further impressed by the number of positive quotes and testimonials found on the back of the Final Draft box, including one from critically acclaimed actor and director Tom Hanks, which read, 'Final Draft makes it possible to simply imagine the movie in script form.' 'This is what the pros use,' said Norgren, his enthusiasm almost painful in its earnestness. 'And it formats for things other than movies, too, like television sitcoms, British sitcoms, one-hour dramas, and stage plays. I'll probably only use it for movies, but you never know when you'll have a great idea for something else.' 'It writes out the names of your characters for you,' Norgren continued. 'If you type the first letter of the name of a character it automatically knows which one you want to talk.' The heartbreaking man added that the software does interiors and exteriors, too. Norgren told increasingly depressed reporters that he's been thinking about giving screenwriting a try for months. He purchased Syd Field's Screenplay: The Foundations Of Screenwriting and recently became a two-year subscriber to Creative Screenwriting magazine. Last Thursday, Norgren moved the card table from his garage to a spot near his living room window that he said would be 'perfect for getting some work done.' After mentioning that he has posted several movie reviews in the comments section of lun, the sad man continued his run of half-smile-half-wince-inducing statements by sharing his plans to install the screenwriting software on his laptop, so that he can spend Saturday afternoons working at a nearby Starbucks. 'I don't know if they'll let me, but maybe I can also put it on my work computer,' Norgren added. 'Then I can work on my movies during breaks. I don't get to be too creative at work.' Norgren, whose script ideas were literally too sad to print here, said he likes films with smart dialogue and characters who overcome obstacles, such as Finding Forrester, A Beautiful Mind, and Juno. 'I want to write movies like that,' he said, crushingjust absolutely crushingthe group of assembled reporters. 'And with this software I don't have to worry about all the little technical stuff and can just focus on the story. I think my one idea about a guy who [approx. 30 words omitted because, really, it would ruin your day] could be pretty good.' 
3	One Lawmaker Is Literally Smashing The Belongings Of The Homeless With A SledgehammerMichael Snyder As you will read about below, there are dozens of major cities all over the country where feeding the homeless has been banned. In many of these instances, public officials are very open about the fact that the goal is to make their cities cleaner and safer places to live. They simply do not want the homeless around. In fact, there are some cities such as San Diego and San Francisco where social workers are actually giving homeless people one-way bus tickets out of town. If you doubt this, just keep reading. The United States is becoming a very cold, heartless place, and homeless people are increasingly being treated like human garbage in this country. So how bad will the treatment of the homeless become when the economy gets really bad? When I first heard about a state representative out in Hawaii that was using a sledgehammer to go after homeless people, I could hardly believe it. But it is actually true. The following is a short excerpt from an RT article that was published earlier this week In the past two weeks residents in Hawaii noticed what appeared to be a crazed individual carrying a sledgehammer through the streets of Honolulu, a state lawmaker looking to rid the city of homeless people by targeting their belongings. State Representative Tom Brower (D) is currently dedicated to dealing out his own personal brand of justice by seeking out homeless people and destroying their possessions. Brower estimates that he has used the sledgehammer to smash at least 30 shopping carts, rendering them useless by bashing in the front wheels. I got tired of telling people Im trying to pass laws. I want to do something practical that will really clean up the streets, he told Hawaii News Now. I find abandoned junk, specifically shopping carts, and I remove them. How cold and heartless can one person possibly be? Hasnt he ever needed a helping hand at some point in his life? Unfortunately, government control freaks are cracking down on those that are trying to provide that helping hand all over the nation. For example, one Christian ministry in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania has recently been threatened with jail time for feeding the homeless Every week for more than five years, staff and volunteers associated with Isaiah 61 Ministries have provided meals, toiletries, clothing and other forms of assistance to the homeless men and women of Harrisburg, as well as to the poor and elderly. Because of the recent threats made by the Dauphin County commission, Isaiah 61 Ministries and several other ministries engaged in similar religious exercises throughout the rest of the week have been unable to serve those most in need of help at this time of year. And in a previous article I wrote about an organization called Love Wins Ministries that made national headlines when police in Raleigh, North Carolina threatened to arrest them if they continued to distribute sausage biscuits and coffee to homeless people living in the heart of the city. The following is from a first-hand account from someone who actually witnessed the police threats On the morning of Saturday, August, 24, Love Wins showed up atMoore Squareat 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. Sadly, these are not isolated incidents. This kind of thing is happening all over the nation. Atlanta, Phoenix, San Diego, Los Angeles, Miami, Oklahoma City and more than 50 other cities have previously adopted some kind of anti-camping or anti-food-sharing laws, according to the National Law Center on Homelessness Poverty. And as I mentioned at the top of this article, some major cities are so disgusted by the homeless that they are actually giving themone-way bus tickets to other cities When her Greyhound bus pulled into town 6 months ago, Maria Castillo got off with two bags and dream. Start over, start a new life, said the 42-year-old. Castillo had been homeless in San Diego when a social worker offered her a one-way bus ticket to Portland. They said come here because all the opportunities in Portland, Oregon, she said. But Castillo said life isnt much better in her new town. Shes still homeless. A Unit 8 investigation found several cities from San Diego to San Francisco are providing one-way bus tickets to the homeless. When I saw that San Francisco was doing this, I just had to chuckle. San Francisco holds itself out as a progressive city that is a model for the rest of the nation to follow, and yet they are so disgusted by homeless people that they are giving them one-way tickets up to Portland. What in the world is happening to America? And this crisis is only going to get even worse in the years ahead. I write frequently about how the level of poverty in this country is growing very rapidly. If you doubt this, please see my previous article entitled 29 Incredible Facts Which Prove That Poverty In America Is Absolutely Exploding. When people think of the homeless, they often think of drunk bums sleeping on benches in our public parks. But the truth is that the ranks of the homeless include vast numbers of adults that would gladly work if they could, and the ranks of the homeless also include vast numbers of children. Right now, there are 1.2 million public school students in America that are homeless. That is a new all-time record, and that number has grown by 72 percent since the start of the last recession. There are so many people out there that are deeply hurting right now, but the control freaks that are running things dont want us to help our neighbors. The control freaks that are running things just want the homeless to go away so that their cities can be shiny and clean and pleasant for visitors that actually have money. Well, I dont care what those control freaks say. If I see someone that needs food or water, I am going to help that person out no matter what the regulations say. And all of the cities that are banning feeding the homeless are literally cursing themselves. As a society, we will be judged on how we treat our most vulnerable members, and right now America is failing badly in this regard on a whole host of fronts. The United States is steadily becoming a very cold-hearted place. Do not let that happen to you personally. Please remember to do what you can to love your less fortunate neighbors this winter. In this kind of an environment, we are going to need a whole lot more love and compassion than we are seeing right now. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

1	Former Ohio State running back Maurice Clarett began his new career as an inmate with the Ohio state prison system by showing up over eight hours late for his first day at Chillicothe State Correctional Camp, a move that did not sit well with officials. 'For a rookie in our system to start out like this is a big mistake, to put it mildly,' said warden Samuel Gordon, who had been looking forward to overseeing the eight-year deal for aggravated assault Clarett plead guilty to on Tuesday. 'Your best bet around here is to blend in, keep your head down, and toe the line at roll call and during cell searches. Act like you're above the law around here and you'll soon find out how wrong you are.' Chillicothe management has already taken steps to curtail Clarett's undesirable behavior by assigning him to room with Curtis 'Big Sweetie' McCulloch, a 12-year veteran known for his prowess in breaking in new recruits. 
3	Off Label Warning for Law Firm of Covington and Burling Hazardous to Your Health!By Janet Phelan Much of the focus of this outrage has been on Holders failure to prosecute Wall Street miscreants, who happen to be clients of Covington. The law firms client list includes Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Bank of America and J.P. Morgan Chase. Slamming Holder as a double agent for Wall Street, Rolling Stones Matt Taibbi wrote: Holder denied there was anything weird about returning to one of Wall Streets favorite defense firms after six years of letting one banker after another skate on monstrous cases of fraud, tax evasion, market manipulation, money laundering, bribery and other offenses. Eric Holder worked for the firm from 2001 up until 2009, when he was confirmed as Attorney General for the Obama administration. Prior to working for Covington, he had worked in the Public Integrity Division of the Justice Department from 1976-1988, at which point he accepted a position as a federal judge. As of 2015, Covington and Burling was the largest law firm in DC, with offices in London, Beijing, Brussels, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seoul, Shanghai, Silicon Valley and, of course, Washington. According to the Vaults 2012 citations, it is the most prestigious law firm to work for in DC, the #11 most prestigious law firm to work for in the United States and the #6 most selective law firm in the United States. Covington has made The American Lawyers A List consecutively for the past three years. The firm also tied for #2 on the 2007 Schiltz 100, a ranking that inversely correlates profits per partner and firm prestige. After resigning as Attorney General in 2015, Holder returned to Covington and Burling, which reportedly had kept his office unoccupied and awaiting his return during his stint as top lawman in the US government. Holder is not the only former government official to find a nesting place at the firm. Lanny Breuer, former Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division of the US Department of Justice, returned to Covington in 2013 after leaving government employ. James Garland was Holders Deputy Chief of Staff before rejoining Covington in 2010. None other than Michael Chertoff, former head of the Department of Homeland Security under George W. Bush, maintains an office at Covington. The firms website boasts that its staff includes a U.S. Attorney (EDNY), two Assistants to White House Counsel, eight AUSAs (including one from Boston), two DOJ Civil Fraud Section Attorneys, and three DAs. As it turns out, thats a somewhat modest declaration. Opensecrets.org lists 107 attorneys who have been through the Covington/US government revolving door. Missing from that list is the name of John Bolton, a Covington lawyer from 1974 to 1981. Bolton served as Ambassador to the United Nations between August 2005 and December 2006. It is telling that Bolton regarded the UN as essentially a tool of US interests. In a 1994 Global Structures Convocation hosted by the World Federalist Association (now Citizens for Global Solutions), he stated, () there is no United Nations there is an international community that occasionally can be led by the only real power left in the world, and thats the United States, when it suits our interests, and when we can get others to go along. Matt Taibbi has called Covington and Burling the shadow Justice Department. In a recent interview on Democracy Now!, Taibi stated, Its a secondary club. What happens when all these people have this congenial relationship, they end up making deals that are much more favorable to their clients than there would be otherwise. Writes Taibbi, In any civilized country, itd be a scandal. In America, though, hes just another guy selling whatever he can to get by. It was just too bad that what Holder had to sell was the criminal justice system. The cozy relationship between government and the private sector via the big law firm reaches far beyond enabling the banksters. A close scrutiny of the firms impact on health-related issues reveals a queasy interdependence which has resulted in adjudications that might raise the bar of alarm. In other words, Covington and Burling may be hazardous to your health. Case in point would be the firms aggressive representation of the manufacturer of the anti- psychotic drug, Seroquel. The drug is a blockbuster, with over $5.8 billion in sales in 2011 alone. Hundreds of suits, filed in federal court, claimed that AstraZeneca failed to provide adequate warning that the drug caused diabetes. AstraZeneca ended up paying out about $520 million in settlements. As pointed out here this is just a drop in the bucket for the pharmaceutical giant. The entry discusses the math involved in these lawsuit settlements vs the drug revenues and estimates that the total revenues for Seroquel have benefited AstraZeneca to the tune of somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-50 billion dollars in total revenue.so, when you take away 2 billion (after factoring in the settlements and the price of legal counsel) from between 30 50 billion dollars in profitable sales; you can see clearly that corporate crime pays quite handsomely. Subsequently, Covingtons life sciences group helped AstraZeneca partner with Bristol-Myers Squibb in a $7 billion deal to buy a leading diabetes drug maker. You read that right. After paying out settlements for not warning the public that its drug causes diabetes, AZ bought a diabetes drug maker. Covington lawyer Eric R. Sonnenschein defended Merck Pharmaceuticals at the International Trade Commission in a patent infringement matter involving Mercks NuvaRing product. Nuvaring, which is a contraceptive device, was subsequently hit with over 1,700 lawsuits alleging that the drug caused embolisms and strokes, some of which were fatal. In early 2014, Merck reportedly agreed to settle the NuvaRing lawsuits for a total of $100 million. In addition, Covington lawyers are defending pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim in over 5,000 claims alleging blood-thinning drug Pradax causes severe bleeding. According to Legal 500, Covington has favorably resolved the majority of claims. Covington also represents Hoffman-LaRoche in the litigation surrounding claims that the acne medication Accutane has caused depression, birth defects, inflammatory bowel disease and suicide. After citing initial wins in this litigation, Hoffman-LaRoche was subsequently hit with thousands of Accutane cases, which have been consolidated in a New Jersey Court. Just this August, Roche won on appeal and had a $25 million dollar Accutane verdict overturned, adding to three other recent Accutane successes. Drugsanddevices blogspot offers this: Congratulations to Covington and Burling, which we think has now won reversal of every adverse Accutane verdict in the New Jersey mass tort litigation. Roche pulled Accutane off the US market in 2009. However, Accutane is still sold in other countries. The drug is available in Canada and in the UK, marketed as Roaccutane. This past May, The Daily Mail reported twenty suicides in the past two years in Great Britain attributed to Roaccutane. Covington is also defending Merck in the Fosamax litigations. Fosamax, which is prescribed as a treatment for osteoporosis, has been alleged to cause bone weakening, fracture and a debilitating condition known as jaw death. In June of 2014, a New Jersey judge ordered that all Fosamax claims be dismissed. Many of these are being appealed at the US Court of Appeals, Third Circuit. And just to drive the point home, did you notice who represented BP in that massive oil spill of 2010? The Deepwater Horizon spill killed 11 crew members and leaked millions of barrels of crude into the Gulf, causing an ongoing environmental crisis. BPs four star legal team included lawyers from Covington. And if that werent cozy enough, Eric Holder, during his pre-AG stint at Covington, represented Chiquita Brands when it was charged with engaging in transactions with terrorists for paying Colombian paramilitary groups $1.7 million from 1997 to 2004. In 2007, the banana company pleaded guilty to making payments to Colombian militias. A federal appeals court subsequently dismissed thousands of claims by Colombians who claimed that they or their relatives were tortured or killed by the paramilitary groups. President Obama must not have noticed the continuing impact of Covington on policy. Dated January of 2009, Obamas White House website declares that he closes the revolving door that allows government officials to move to and from private sector jobs in ways that give that sector undue influence over government. And you can take that to the bank! 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. 
1	According to a study published Tuesday in The New England Journal Of Medicine, researchers at Johns Hopkins University have succeeded in conclusively linking everyone and everything everywhere to paranoia. The comprehensive 11-month studywhich was designed to establish that its all tied to paranoia, all of it, and absolutely everyone is in on itwas able to connect extreme cases of paranoid behavior with the government, the media, doctors, Palestine, the meat industry, stoplights, and everything in existence, all working together, conspiring against us. Our research shows statistically significant correlations between episodes of paranoia and fast food chains, Time magazine, the growing military-industrial-media complex that holds all Americans hostage, honeybees, my mother, and China, said an unshaven, disheveled Dr. Adam Crane, lead author of the paper. During routine tests, we saw that not only was frantic suspicion and extreme distress a symptom of everything being part of one big conspiracy, but it was also a direct response to the fact that everyone in the world, here and in other countries, is watching us right now at this very moment. Furthermore, our data confirmed this phenomenon goes all the way to the top, Crane added. Straight to Obama, Bernanke, the pope, NASA, Jeff Leialoha of Ann Arbor, MI. Everyone. Dont you see how its all connected? researchers say. Confirming there was no escape in sight, no escape whatsoever, Crane told reporters that paralyzing feelings of mistrust can almost certainly also be tied to indisputable proof that the whole thing is bigger and more detailed than anyone could have ever imagined. So much fucking bigger. According to researchers, three out of 10 consecutive trials found paranoia stemmed from the tiniest granule of sand to the cosmos itself, and went way, way beyond just the grocery baggers at Safeway, Operation Desert Storm, the AIDS epidemic, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. At least four additional lab-controlled experiments showed high levels of emotional distress stemming from the discovery that microchipsCIA-monitored microchipshave been embedded in all newborns skulls to poison their mental stream with Visa propaganda from day one. Additionally, the study confirmed that they know. They all know. And they know we know, sources said. Crickets, of course, we knew were in on it, and it was certainly no surprise that the 1996 Indiana Pacers were in some way involved, study co-author Dr. Laura Zhang told reporters. But I personally was not aware of just how closely linked to paranoia my own colleagues were, and how even my closest research partners, these people I thought I could trust, were in on it all along. Do not tell them I talked to you, do you understand me? Zhang added. Research suggests there is a good chance they are recording this conversation right now.' The researchers said that while they were able to verify the link between paranoia and the Illuminati, Chelsea Handler, the fluoride in tap water, and everyone and everything else in the world, their study still left many questions unanswered. What we hope to figure out through follow-up studies is whoif anyonecan still be trusted with this information, Dr. Crane said. I mean, how deep does this thing go? Students? Department heads? Family? Friends? Reporters? Reporters! Crane added as he frantically ran out of the room. 
2	Nancy Reagan Passes Away At Age 94... Please Send Your Prayers Nancy Reagan, the former first lady and beloved widow of President Ronald Reagan passed away yesterday morning at the age of 94. Reagan died at her home in Los Angeles to congestive heart failure. She will be buried and honored at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, next to her husband. There will also be an opportunity for members of the public can pay their respects. Reagans health had been deteriorating in the dozen years following her husbands death, and she had suffered several falls in the past few years. In 2012, for instance, she fell and broke several ribs in her Los Angeles home. Nancy is where she always wanted to be, with her RonnieNow she is at peace, her stepson, Michael, wrote on Twitter. Many public figures also spoke up to honor Nancy and the Reagan legacy. Nancy Reagan was totally devoted to President Reagan, and we take comfort that they will be reunited once more, former First Lady Barbara Bush said in a statement. George and I send our prayers and condolences to her family. In Nancys own words, she was always first and foremost, Mrs. Ronald Reagan. My life really began when I married my husband, Nancy Reagan was quoted saying years ago. The couple was happily married for 52 years before Ronald passed. Thank God we found each other. Cant imagine life without him. Before marrying Ronald, Nancy Reagan was an actress. She made 11 movies, the last of which was filmed in 1956, with her husband as a co-star. I must say acting was good training for the political life which lay ahead for us, Nancy commented. The movies were custard compared to politics. In the 1980s, Reagan launched a project to fight drug and alcohol abuse in Americas youth, sparking the Just Say No campaign. Reagan was also a fierce defender of her husband, and watched over him devotedly, especially after an attempt on his life in the early 1980s. During that decade, she was annually voted one of the worlds ten most admired women, taking first place three times. A survivor of breast cancer, Reagan devoted much of her 60s and 70s to raising awareness of the disease, stressing the importance of annual mammograms. It will be hard for any first lady to live up to the legacy set by Nancy Reagan, and she will be deeply missed. Watch the video honoring her below and tell us what you think.

2	BREAKING: MASSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE RECOUNT DROPS Liberals everywhere were thrilled this weekend when Green Party candidate Jill Stein teamed up with Hillary Clinton to demand a recount of votes in Michigan and Pennsylvania. This is just one of many attempts to strip Donald Trump of the presidency. Unfortunately for Clinton lovers, Stein forgot to mention one small detail to her donors that could turn her movement against her. In order to file a direct request for a recount in Pennsylvania, she would have to present a case showing voter fraud took place. Thats unlikely, given that Trump won in Pennsylvania by 70 thousand votes. Proving there was probable fraud will be an uphill battle for Stein, who earned just 1% of the vote. According to Pennsylvania regulations, Stein would have to file a court appeal and present a prima facie case demonstrating that voter fraud took place. Even though prima facie has a lower burden of proof threshold, it is still significant enough to provide major hurdles for Steinespecially given that computer specialists confirm there is no proof of hacking or fraud. Clintons own legal team, headed by Marc Elias, has also noted that they had not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking our outside attempts to alter the voting technology. The Obama administration also confirmed they did not observe an increased level of malicious cyber-activity. Notably, Obama is standing behind the results. Elias claimed that even in Michigan, Trumps win well exceeds the largest margin ever overcome in a recount. For that reason, Clinton did not pursue a recount effort. However, Clinton will participate since Stein funded and initiated the effort. 
2	BREAKING: White Female Cop Shot By Thug Hours Before She Was To Go On Maternity Leave [VIDEO] Yesterday, Omaha Police Officer Kerrie Orozco, 29, was shot down by a black thug hours before her period of maternity leave was supposed to begin. Orozco and her fellow officers were trying follow up on felony arrest warrant to a fugitive thug named Marcus D. Wheeler. Wheeler began to fire at the officers, and Orozco was unfortunately hit. She was rushed to a nearby hospital, but it was already too late. The thug was also shot, but he managed survived his injuries. Orozco has a husband and is the mother of three and recently gave birth to a premature baby girl a few months ago. She had made the decision put off her maternity leave until the baby was able to leave the hospital and come home. Wednesday was to be her last day at work. This is another prime example of a sad, but true story that doesnt get any media attention because its a black thug killing a white cop. No controversy there, therefore no story. What do you think of this unfortunate event? What should be the punishment for the thug? Leave your comments in the box below. 
1	LOS ANGELESJust one month before narcotics officer Vincent Tate was planning to turn in his badge and retire on a full pension, he learned that he was being assigned a rookie partner. Now, after four weeks, the hard-boiled 25-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department says he's having so much fun with the new recruit, he 'may never leave.' Officers Vincent Tate and Jason Hepplewhite enjoying each other's company. 'The last thing I wanted was to train some know-it-all, baby-faced college boy who'd question my every move,' Tate, 55, said. 'Luckily for me, Jason has been an absolute delight.' Jason Hepplewhite, 23, a Stanford University graduate who majored in criminal science, hit it off immediately with Tate, according to 34th Precinct Captain Lionel Shaw, who united the pair. After a tense few seconds in which the entire squad room waited to see if Tate would haughtily snub Hepplewhite's extended hand, the older cop instead shook it warmly, grinned, and took the younger cop on a tour of the precinct building. 'I thought the difference in age, race, and class would lead to certain friction,' Shaw said. 'I'm sure glad it all worked out, though, since Lord knows that, as his captain, I would never intentionally do anything to anger a veteran cop like Vince, whose questionable methods get results. In fact, I don't believe we've ever raised our voices to each other.' Tate said that the first thing he did when he got in the patrol car with Hepplewhite was lay down a strict set of ground rules. 'I said to him, listen, kid, do your best to apply what you've learned at your fancy school, and if you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to ask,' Tate said. Although Hepplewhite proved to be the intensely idealistic, literal-minded greenhorn Tate had feared, the duo, in the true spirit of partnership, have managed to work around their philosophical differences. Tate even took time out to praise what he called Hepplewhite's 'superb book-based education.' 'Jason has this helpful idea of a 'thin blue line' that separates the lawless from the civilized, whereas I understand that sometimes certain crimes must be left unpunished in order to protect the greater good,' Tate said. 'So we switch off. If, on Mondays or Wednesdays, Jason thinks a small-time crook who's given me solid leads for 20 years should be locked up, that's his prerogative. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, though, we'll use an underage hooker as bait to close in on a major heroin kingpin.' 'Friday is a grab-bag,' Tate added. According to Hepplewhite, it has been a pleasure working with Tate, who has refrained from patronizing him or deliberately involving him in a difficult situation that would require his older partner to step in and save him. 'Shortly before what was shaping up to become a standoff at a warehouse drug lab, Vincent asked me if he should radio for a SWAT team, or if I would prefer being thrown right into the fray,' Hepplewhite said. 'I chose the SWAT team, but I appreciated the option. I just wanted to get my feet wet a little before finding out the hard way that I might not have what it takes to fight crime.' Despite the natural give-and-take of the relationship, Tate said there have been moments when he has worried, such as last week's interrogation of a suspected drug dealer accused of fatally shooting a young girl during a turf battle. 'Jason began screaming at the suspect, taking out what seemed like years of pent-up aggression on him,' Tate said. 'Afterwards, in the locker room, I braced myself for an emotional monologue from Jason about how his own little sister was killed in a drive-by shooting. But he just smiled, apologized for causing a scene, and suggested we grab some lunch.' The two enjoy each other's company so much that they have begun spending time together off-duty. Every Saturday night, Tate, Hepplewhite, and their wives get together to have dinner, watch a movie, or just play cards. 'Joy and I simply love Jason's emotionally stable wife Sara, who both understands and encourages the dangerous work and long hours that come with being a police officer,' Tate said. 'She has not been killed by avenging street punks.' 'It's good for two officers to get together and discuss everything that's going great in our lives over a few beers,' Tate added. 'Luckily, I do not have a lingering drinking problem that Jason has to help me confront.' According to other members of the force, Hepplewhite is ably filling the shoes of Tate's former partner, Buddy Haverly, who served faithfully alongside him for nearly 15 years, and whom Tate rarely stops talking about. Haverly is alive and well. 
2	Michelle Obama Just Made A Disturbing Announcement, You Will Be Sick Her husband may be single-handedly destroying our country, but First Lady Michelle Obama does not seem to have a care in the world. Instead, Michelle is focused on her latest program, and attending an event in Harlem in an attempt to encourage young girls to get educated. For me, this is personal, she told the crowd of children she was speaking to. When I think about those 62 million girls that arent in school, I think about myself. I think about my daughters. There is no boy at this age that is cute enough or interesting enough to stop you from getting your education, Michelle continued. If I had worried about who liked me and who thought I was cute when I was your age, I wouldnt be married to the president of the United States. While the crowd seemed to applaud this comment, many conservatives are disturbed by it, viewing it as an attack on the American family unit. She may be married to the president, but she is no role model for young girls. 
3	The Collapse Of Italys Banks Threatens To Plunge The European Financial System Into ChaosBy Michael Snyder So what makes Italy so important? Well, we all saw how difficult it was for the rest of Europe to come up with a plan to rescue Greece. But Greece is relatively small they only have the 44th largest economy in the world. The Italian economy is far larger. Italy has the 8th largest economy in the world, and their government debt-to-GDP ratio is currently sitting at about 132 percent. There is no way that Europe has the resources or the ability to handle a full meltdown of the Italian financial system. Unfortunately, that is precisely what is happening. Italian banks are absolutely drowning in non-performing loans, andas Jeffrey Moore has noted, this potentially represents the greatest threat to the worlds already burdened financial system Shares of Italys largest financial institutions have plummeted in the opening months of 2016 as piles of bad debt on their balance sheets become too high to ignore. Amid all of the risks facing EU members in 2016, the risk of contagion from Italys troubled banks poses the greatest threat to the worlds already burdened financial system. At the core of the issue is the concerning level of Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) on banks books, with estimates ranging from 17% to 21% of total lending. This amounts to approximately 200 billion of NPLs, or 12% of Italys GDP. Moreover, in some cases, bad loans make up an alarming 30% of individual banks balance sheets. Things have already gotten so bad that the European Central Bank is now monitoring liquidity levels at Monte dei Paschi and Carige on a daily basis. The following comes from Reuters The European Central Bank is checking liquidity levels at a number of Italian banks, including Banca Carige and Monte dei Paschi di Siena, on a daily basis, two sources close to the matter said on Monday. Italian banking shares have fallen sharply since the start of the year amid market concerns about some 360 billion euros of bad loans on their books and weak capital levels. The ECB has been putting pressure on several Italian banks to improve their capital position. The regulator can decide to monitor liquidity levels at any bank it supervises on a weekly or daily basis if it has any concern about deposits or funding. A run on the big Italian banks has already begun. Italians have already been quietly pulling billions of euros out of the banking system, and if these banks continue to crumble this stealth run could quickly become a stampede. And of course panic in Italy would quickly spread to other financially troubled members of the eurozone such as Spain, Portugal, Greece and France. Here is some additional analysis from Jeffrey Moore A deteriorating financial crisis in Italy could risk repercussions across the EU exponentially greater than those spurred by Greece. The ripple effects of market turmoil and the potential for dangerous precedents being set by EU authorities in panicked response to that turmoil, could ignite yet more latent financial vulnerabilities in fragile EU members such as Spain and Portugal. Unfortunately, most Americans are completely blinded to what is going on in the rest of the world because stocks in the U.S. have had a really good run for the past couple of weeks. Headlines are declaring that the risk of a new recession has passed and that the crisis is over. Meanwhile, South America is plunging into a full-blown depression, the Italian banking system is melting down, global manufacturing numbers are the worst that we have seen since the last recession, and global trade is absolutely imploding. Other than that, things are pretty good. Seriously, it is absolutely critical that we dont allow ourselves to be fooled by every little wave of momentum in the stock market. It is a fact that sales and profits for U.S. corporations are declining. This is a trend that began all the way back in mid-2014 and that has accelerated during the early stages of 2016. The following comes fromWolf Richter Total US business sales not just sales by SP 500 companies but also sales by small caps and all other businesses, even those that are not publicly traded peaked in July 2014 at $1.365 trillion, according to the Census Bureau. By December 2015, total business sales were down 4.6% from that peak. A bad 18 months for sales! Theyre back where theyd first been in January 2013! Sales by SP 500 companies dropped 3.8% in 2015, according to FactSet, the worst year since the Financial Crisis. I know that a lot of people have been eagerly anticipating a complete and total global economic collapse for a long time, and many of them just want to get it over with. Well, the truth is that nobody should want to see what is coming. Personally, I rejoice for every extra day, week or month we are given. Every extra day is another day to prepare, and every extra day is another day to enjoy the extremely comfortable standard of living that our debt-fueled prosperity has produced for us. Most Americans have absolutely no idea how spoiled we really are. Even just fifty years ago, life was so much harder in this country. If we had to go back and live the way that Americans did 100 or 150 years ago, there are very few of us that would be able to successfully do that. So enjoy the remaining days of debt-fueled prosperity while you still can, because great change is coming, and it is going to be extremely bitter for most of the population.

Everything is working just fine The EU socialism and UNs socialistic Agenda21/Agenda2030/ sustainability/social, economic and environmental justice are the culprits here.

The hard core Karl Marx followers have been at this since the 1880s. The One World Order, predicted for over 100 years, is upon us. Its time to defeat it, once and for all. Oh,this will p*ss off the Muslims.Europe is supposed to fully support them.You cant do it if they are broke.Watch the violence increase. I dont trust Micheal Snyder he pretends to be rational but if you go to his site it becomes clear that he is actually a rabid christian who relies on bible prophecy and deletes any comments that dont support Israel. Mentioning the Talmud instantly gets any comment deleted. He and his posse of commenters are strictly christian zionists. I have zero respect for such people. All zentral banks the world over should fail. Iceland got it right the rest of the world needs to start the same clearing. The fall of the nwo will start the thousand years of peace. 
1	According to 58-year-old Charles Van Hise, principal of Harriet Bishop High School and a 26-year veteran of the St. Cloud School District, too much of his staff's time is devoted to 'problem students' who require special disciplinary or scholastic attention. Van Hise patrols his school's hallways looking for students performing too far above or below the line. 'It's the oldest story in the world,' Van Hise said. 'The squeaky wheels get the grease. I have them in here every day. Today it's to complain about 'intellectually lazy' teachers; tomorrow, I'll bet you anything it's the elimination of the arts program. And I swear to you, if I have to break up one more rumble in the hallway, I'm going to snap.' Van Hise lifted his blinds to reveal a small group of students eating lunch in the courtyard. 'Excuse me one moment,' said Van Hise, leaning out his window to address the gathering of students. 'That music is not allowed on campus! Extinguish your incense, please.' Returning to his seat, Van Hise said, 'Those honors-program students think they own the school.' Harriet Bishop High, which once had one of Minnesota's highest rates of physical violence among students, recently turned its record around, reducing in-school violence by 22 percent through programs initiated by Van Hise, who has a reputation as a staunch disciplinarian. 'These items were confiscated from high-school students, believe it or not,' said Van Hise, displaying a cardboard box containing brass knuckles, a Swiss Army knife, and several issues of Daniel Clowes' Eightball comics. 'It goes without saying that the students who brought these items into my school are long gone.' Van Hise credits the success of his program to those teachers who have volunteered to patrol the hallways during their off-periods, keeping an eye out for 'class-cutters and music-heads.' Troublemakers at Harriet Bishop High propose/mock the idea of a Latin club. 'I'd have time to do that myself I didn't spend half my workday addressing the busybody club's concern du jour,' Van Hise said. 'Every time I turn my back, there's another petition on my desk. Look, I have one right now. It's the same thing every year. We hold student-council elections, the student body selects its leader, and the next day, like clockwork, I have a team of kids in here chewing my ear off about the unfair vote-counting practices and... I don't even know what, to tell you the truth.' Harriet Bishop High narrowly escaped federal discipline last fall, when the student body succeeded in lifting its aggregate standardized-test scores out of the danger zone. According to Van Hise, the upsurge occurred 'with no help from the bottom feeders.' 'We are running a school here. Not a gymnasium. Not a... a... a... roller derby. And certainly not a Model U.N.,' Van Hise said. 'I've got the same advice for all of them: Sit down, shut up, and you'll be out of here in four years.' That afternoon, strolling the hallways with a bottle of acetone and a rag, Van Hise wiped the words 'cock smoker' from his portrait. Later, he paused before a display case devoted to football awards. Taped inside of the case was a poster titled 'The Three Pillars of Education.' Two of the columns, labeled 'Academics' and 'The Arts,' were crumbling. The third, labeled 'Sports,' was pristine, reaching to the clouds. 'You'll notice whoever drew this... cartoon... didn't care to sign his name to it,' said Van Hise, searching his key ring for the display-case key. 'You tell me: Should we have more people watching over the theater kids while they paint their sets, or should I make sure someone's keeping tabs on the school on weekend nights when some kid wants to break in here and vandalize my office?' 'One of them coated my office floor in Vaseline,' Van Hise added. 'I nearly busted my head.' Van Hise was not pessimistic in every respect. He reserved his esteem for a certain set of 'solid, devoted, quiet-minded students.' 'Solid, average students who aren't causing trouble and aren't trying to attract any undue attention to themselves,' Van Hise said. 'Your Average Joes and Plain Janes. They're the ones who bring our scores up. No question in my mind. The rest just cancel each other out.' 
3	How Badly Is Fukushima Radiation Damaging the Pacific Ocean?Richard Wilcox, PhD I watched some wonderful movies over the summer with ocean themes and one was with Robert Redford called All is Lost. The entertainment value was good but it also made a statement about Mans interference with Nature and how nature can strike back. I love films like All is Lost, Master and Commander, in which the imperial navy visits the Galapagos Islands and Kon Tiki, a story about a 4,000 mile trek across the ocean, because they show the unspeakable beauty and power of the worlds great oceans. Can humans actually destroy them? Over the past year weve read many news stories about mass die-offs of marine species in the Pacific Ocean and other regions. One hypothesis in the alternative media is that the massive radiation released from the Fukushima nuclear disaster is the cause. Others blame over-fishing, pollution or climatic events. My opinion is that if the die-offs are unusual and man made then it is a combination of factors, but Fukushima is probably one of them. The Earth is under many human threats we are an industrious species Fukushima is doing the ocean only harm, and following that logic, at a minimum the health of local species and perhaps wider ecosystems are being affected in a reverse synergy whereby organisms have surpassed the limits they can endure. Controversy and Denial Folks love to argue about whether things like radiation has killed the ocean; whether global warming is real or not or caused by humans emitting CO2; or whether the Twin Towers on 9/11 were brought down with nanothermite or mini-nuke explosives. But in all three cases the harm that has been caused is uncontroversial. We should stop polluting the environment with harmful pollutants (such as sulfur dioxide from coal burning plants) and promote renewable energy sources; we know the official story of 9/11 is a total lie regardless of how the buildings were demolished (see, for example: Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth); and we know that whatever amount of radiation is leaking into the ocean it is a bad thing and needs to be stopped. It appears that after three long years a group of scientists are finally going to have a meeting to discuss the effects of Fukushima on wildlife (2). Logical discourse, debate and scientific honesty are essential to finding consensus on how to solve the problem. However, our scientific and political institutions are often so inflexible that its not easy to change course or offer reforms for improvement. And, lets face it, our economic and political system is rotten to the core (3; 4; 5; 6). Fukushima Pumps Out Contamination Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) is the utility in charge of the (FNPP #1) Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant No. 1 (dai-ichi). They recently admitted that FNPP#1 is releasing a whopping 150 billion becquerels of tritium and 7 billion becquerels of cesium and strontium of contaminated water, every day, into the ocean (7). Compare that to the Japanese government limit for food that does not allow over 100 becquerels per kilogram in food to be sold as produce. Fukushima: Worst Nuclear Disaster In History It is estimated by the State of California Natural Resources Agency that the initial Fukushima accident released nearly double the amount of radiation compared to Chernobyl (8). No human worker can enter the areas around the FNPP#1 reactor buildings because it measures up to 10 sieverts per hour (9) due to the melted nuclear fuel which is scattered at various locations beneath the reactors. 10 sieverts equals10,000 millisieverts (a lifetime dose should not exceed 100 ms!) or 10 million microsieverts per hour, when a normal background rate might be around 0.05 up to 0.15 microsieverts per hour (10). NHK claims the melted fuel has cooled down but so what? The Abe-controlled NHK wants to reassure the public with sugary, sprinkled donut language that all is well in Fukushima (11). If you compare the mild non-coverage that Fukushima gets in the Japanese domestic media versus the compendium of worries that independent researchers and scientists have documented it betrays the level of denial and helplessness on the part of the Japanese establishment versus grim reality (12). Eco-Damage Dr. Tim Mousseau has carried out extensive biological research at both Chernobyl and now Fukushima prefecture and found the same patterns of genetic mutations and damage to insects, birds and other organisms caused by the high doses of radiation released by the accidents (13). War Is Peace, Slavery Is Freedom In 2013, Dr. Chris Busby, an articulate chap of enormous integrity and an expert on the health effects of ionizing radiation and Scientific Secretary of the European Committee on Radiation Risk, stated in a fascinating interview about how the Nuclear/Military Industrial Complex buys their own scientists in order to produce fabricated results that Fukushima is probably the worst public health scandal in human history and that the actual background rate for thyroid cancer in Japan is actually zero[according to] a study done in 2005 (14; 15). The background rate before the disaster was zero. It was recently announced that [t]hyroid cancer [was] diagnosed in 104 young people in Fukushima. However, government officials in Fukushima say they do not believe the cases of thyroid gland cancer diagnosed or suspected in the 104 young people are linked to the 2011 nuclear accident (16). The article does not offer a counter argument for what might have caused the cancers, but some dissenting experts do think Fukushima is the cause. Oddly, the government is not carrying out thyroid cancer research in other regions farther away from the disaster site such as in Kagoshima or Okinawa in order to compare the data, and are apparently ignorant of the study Chris Busby dug up that indicated the zero incidence background rate prior to the disaster! Considering that the normal rate of thyroid cancer in children is zero or very rare as it was just prior to the Chernobyl disaster the statement by officials that there is no link to the disaster is a shameless lie. But we are talking about genocidal psychopaths in the Nuclear Industry arent we? (17) The United Nations, whatever its good intentions, which controls the IAEA who in turn oversee global nuclear affairs, is a compromised institution when it comes to regulating the Nuclear-Military Psychopaths (NMP) (18). Nuclear Power Causes Childhood Leukemia Dr. Ian Fairlie is a rare breed of hard-headed and uncompromising scientist, not of the bought-and-paid-for variety. In a recent article he further exposes what has been known for decades by the Chris Busbys and Helen Caldicotts of this world, that even properly functioning nuclear power plants are dangerous. His research finds: a highly statistically significant 37% increase in childhood leukemias within 5 km of almost all NPPs [nuclear power plants] in the UK, Germany, France and Switzerland. Its perhaps not surprising that the latter 3 countries have announced nuclear phaseouts and withdrawals. It is only the UK government that remains in denial (19). Suffer The Little Children Considering the Nuclear Cartels control over Japanese politics, blatant denial of statistical data in Europe and the way the UN is compromised, its unsurprising to find that the Japanese government, prone to byzantine politics and opaque political processes to begin with, would lie about the effects of radiation on children. The excellent website, Simply Info, opined that the recent findings of increasing cancers among Fukushima children exposes the governments deceptive handling of the issue: The Health Survey has been less than transparent in what data they release. Many times the data given makes it impossible to perform any sort of outside analysis or obtain a clear picture of what is going on. The survey has refused to release any sort of raw data or additional information in a way that allows for review or confirmation that their reports accurately present the real situation (20). Whither The Pacific Northwest? Recently Dana Durnford who is true citizen-hero, is also a resident, fisherman and diver of the British of Columbia coastal area of Canada. He and a colleague did a survey of 200 km of the BC coast and found it to be practically lifeless of many normally thriving species (21). This is unprecedented according to Durnford who has lived and worked in the region for years and knows the topography and ecology there like the back of his hand. Is the cause due to Fukushima radiation? This article from Washingtons Blog (WB) has some good maps that show how ocean currents are sweeping Fukushima radiation toward North America (22). The big question is about dispersion of radiation in the ocean: does it disperse and dilute and become harmless or is it concentrated enough to have an effect? A fisheries expert cited in the article argues that radiation is not the cause but WB refutes some of his claims. An anonymous person in the comment section purports a theory about radiation killing the plankton thereby screwing up the ocean ecology. It sounds like a reasonable hypothesis to me that should be investigated. A Drop In The Ocean? Returning to the argument of Dr. Chris Busby, while a lot of people make big statements about the death of the Pacific, he uses mathematical calculations to make his case. I have not seen his figures either verified or disputed by other scientists. In his audio interview he noted he is aware that all of the radiation will not dilute uniformly and that various currents will concentrate the radiation in certain places but he does not believe the radiation will cause an ecological catastrophe because the ocean is just too darned big. Busby does emphasize the danger to Japan especially people living in the vicinity of Fukushima, but notes that even if the entire inventory of radioactive materials were to make it to the ocean, that the above ground atomic bomb tests released more radiation than Fukushima could. If we add the bomb tests plus Fukushima, maybe the accumulation is something to worry about. Here is what he wrote for Russia Today in 2013: ThePacific Ocean is big enough for this level of release not to represent the global catastrophe that some are predicting. Lets get some scoping perspective on this. The volume of the North Pacific is 300 million cubic kilometers. The total inventory of the four Fukushima Daiichi reactors, including their spent fuel pools, is 732 tons of Uranium and Plutonium fuel which is largely insoluble in sea water. The inventory in terms of the medium half-life nuclides of radiological significance Cs-137, Cs-134 and Strontium-90, is 3 x 1018 becquerels (Bq) each. Adding these up gives about 1019 Bq. If we dissolve that entire amount into the Pacific, we get a mean concentration of 33 Bq per cubic meter not great, but not lethal. Of course this is ridiculous since the catastrophe released less than 1017 Bq of these combined nuclides and even if all of this ends up in the sea (which it may do), the overall dilution will result in a concentration of 1 Bq per cubic meter. So the people in California can relax. In fact, the contamination of California and indeed the rest of the planet from the global weapons test fallout of 1959-1962 was far worse, and resulted in the cancer epidemic which began in 1980. The atmospheric megaton explosions drove the radioactivity into the stratosphere and the rain brought it back to earth to get into the milk, the food, the air, and our childrens bones. Kennedy and Kruschev called a halt in 1963, saving millions (Op. cit.). Mainstream science websites like Deep Sea News posit that there is no threat whatsoever from Fukushima radiation, yet devote very little attention to the issue other than to deride those are worried about it (23). In one of their rare articles on the topic I read some months ago, there had previously been a long and thoughtful debate in the comment section among some of their critics, even mainstream scientists, who chastised DSN for so handily dismissing the radiation threat. Recently when I checked the site all of those comments had been deleted and no new articles on the topic had since been published. Only those who cheerlead for their website are allowed to publish comments. Science follows funding, and promoting the anthropogenic theory of global warming (AGW) pays better than locking horns with the nuclear industry (big bucks military industrial complex). In the meantime, promoters of Al Gores official religion, AGW, had to come up with a computer model to explain why global warming is on hiatus until 2030, but dont worry, it will be back and so will their funding (24). The Cosmic Convergence Group has just published a lengthy essay that goes into multiple causes of climate change, and while acknowledging the reality of AGW disagree with the way it has been over emphasized and politicized and instead offer a scientific analysis of complex, interrelated phenomenon (25). As one observer noted to me regarding ocean collapse and climate change: I think its a state-change in the Pacific eco-system and that Fukushima was simply the precipitating catalyst (26). Entropy was rising in the Pacific for many reasons but whole-scale chemical and elemental contamination (e.g., lead, mercury, uranium, strontium) had already pushed the worlds oceans towards state change. There are also quite a few earth changes that have increased ocean acidification. I really think the climate change problem distracts from the more encompassing problem of broad scale eco-system collapse. (Maija Nadesan, personal email communication, August 29, 2014). The Knowledge Gap And Pacific Marine Species Die-Offs Nancy Foust of Simply Info replied to my question as well: How bad is the radiation to Pacific marine life?: There is lots of debate about this issue with die offs. Much of what has been cited since 2011 had documented problems or previous similar die offs prior to Fukushima. What is the big unknown is that the radiation releases from Daiichi are still very much up for debate. This gives me pause every time I see some declaration that there is no problem of any kind and never will be related to the Pacific. Until we all have a better scientific grasp of the actual releases into the Pacific over time it is impossible to make solid projections. Most of the estimates on Pacific contamination that I have read only used the initial sea releases as their basis. So they do a good job of estimating where contamination might circulate. But if they only account for the initial release and not the additional over time releases, their estimate will be low. The big question is how low. Are they just slightly lower or are they considerably lower? What matters then is what were the actual releases to the sea over time. Right now nobody is doing comprehensive and unbiased research into this, or if they are they havent published it yet. So there is a knowledge gap. Recently TEPCO admitted to much larger sea releases over time since 2011 than they had previously admitted to [currently 157 billion becquerels per day!]. There were some oceanography experts that had called TEPCOs previous figures into question as their readings were showing there had to be an ongoing release because the readings they were taking were not sufficiently going down over time. So the big question is the difference between these estimates currently being used for Pacific projections and how these new admissions might change those. As far as dispersal. It appears to be a little of both based on the published studies and what oceanographers seem to be most interested in monitoring. It will dilute to an extent, but it will also follow currents and there is some research that found concentrations higher in certain levels of the sea depths. There is also the known issue of cesium concentrating in the sea floor. Much of the research has focused on cesium but from the new TEPCO findings strontium 90 is an equal or larger concern and it isnt being monitored or tested for in the sea the way cesium is (personal email communication, August 27, 2014). Animal Die-Offs Worldwide In 2013, yachtsman Ivan MacFadyen says he was shocked by absence of sea life during his 37,000km voyage between Australia and Japan and described the Pacific Ocean as dead due to severe overfishing. He reported that the ocean was strewn with copious amounts of rubbish and that [i]t started to strike me the closer we got to Japan the deader the ocean became (27). There are multiple causes to the destruction of the flora and fauna of the planet including pollution (from rubbish to radiation), habitat destruction, poaching/over harvesting of species for human consumption and even geophysical disruptions that are now taking their toll on marine habitats. Whether or not you share the eschatological position of the website, End Times Prophecy, I was amazed to come across this list of animal die-offs at their page, Mass Animal Deaths for 2014. It is truly horrifying and appears to be entirely verifiably, factual information (28). We do have to consider that throughout Earth history there have been population explosions followed by die-offs, and that in the past, before the Internet, many of these occurrences were not so readily documented for public viewing. Still, there seems to be a pronounced and disturbing pattern here that is not just a random collection of information. Meanwhile Japanese Are Still Eating Fish It is hard to detect the severity of this state-change to the natural world when viewing the complacency and normality of daily affairs in Japan. Sushi restaurants all over Tokyo are packed with customers as if nothing ever happened. Most people, although against nuclear power now, are apolitical and apathetic and will do pretty much whatever the government lays out for them (hey sheep the abattoir is over there!). This is evident as the economy stagnates, the nuclear issue remains unresolved and yet Prime Minister Abe keeps pushing to increase Japans military and nuclear capabilities. Understandably the farmers in Fukushima are suffering due to the disaster which had nothing to do with them in the first place. Someone elses mistake (Tepcos) has cost them their livelihoods. In reality, Fukushima prefecture is quite large and I would guess the other side of the region does not have that much radiation, but because the name Fukushima is affixed to a food product many people will avoid buying it for fear of radiation. That said, one wonders about the wisdom of campaigning the rest of the country to gobble down Fukushimas delicious produce. Seafood will have to be monitored for a long time, if not forever (29). And yet one 5 star hotel in Japan is trying to support Fukushima by serving its food on their menu (30). However, Japan is having a hard time getting other Asian countries such as Hong Kong to accept their exported food (31). I live in Tokyo and personally avoid buying any produce from the northeast or Tokyo regions, although sometimes it is unavoidable. The radiation from Fukushimas nuclear explosions spread hot particles and all assortment of radionuclides across Japan, North America and even the entire world. No one is safe. Going Green Before We Go Dead All of this mess could have been avoided. As the worlds leading renewable energy expert, Amory Lovins has shown, renewables such as solar and wind could offset the need for nuclear and fossil fuel based energy sources for many countries including Europe, the US and Japan. Probably for the entire world. Even the bastion of capitalist ideology, perhaps following the lead of investors like Warren Buffett, Forbes magazine, is promoting wind power over nuclear as having greater scalability, meaning that wind power versus nuclear has the ability of a system, network, or process to handle a growing amount of work in a capable manner or its ability to be enlarged to accommodate that growth (36). If there is anything capitalists love it is growth of their assets so maybe they are waking up to saner options. Fukushima And Dispossession Finally, please keep an eye out for the upcoming book on Fukushima entitled: Fukushima: Dispossession or Denuclearization (2014). It should be published within the next month or so and is an anthology of articles by a wide variety of independent-minded journalists and scholars of unique talent written in order bring into sharper focus the implications of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Some of the proceeds from the book will be donated to help children refugees who are still suffering in temporary housing situations in the Fukushima area. References 1.

Scalability http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalability The radiation releases from Fukushima are not over, and could not be beneficial to any life form. The huge accumulation of plastic debris is also a threat to marine life. The oceans have yet to be colonized by man. The Fukushima accident has become a spectacular event. The anti-nuclear faction is out in force, their demonizing of all that is nuclear, all technology and the existence of man, the human species is evil. Nuclear waste is nuclear treasure, a fuel that cannot be wasted and waste from the ocean can be picked up and recycled. Nuclear power is necessary for many recycling processes that will benefit the populations physical economy, our standard of living. David, immortalized in Michelangelos fine sculpture inspires us; Modern man looks into the future and says, I am not afraid! Keep drinking the Kool-Aidyou might just manage to go thru life totally asleep not realize what a hypnotized fool youve been parlaying propaganda from the MSM into ersatz truthhow righteous noble you must feel setting us all straight,,,kinda makes you feel all warm fuzzy all over. The Fukushima mess can be cleaned up, its waste, is a valuable asset in the furthering of nuclear science and nuclear fuel technology. The article above, a little loose with the facts, has unforgivable omissions, does not serve our survival, it is a grand distraction, as if this were the only danger that threatens human existence. Simply not true, nuclear energy is absolutely necessary for the survival and perpetuation of mankind. What kind of propaganda operation are you running? or are you one of those gullible people who believes everything they read? Humanity is walking into the Greatest Depression caused by the world financial system now in disintegration, now driving thermonuclear WWIII, it is the immediate human existential crisis. Its solution, besides terminating Globalization and the reorganization of finance systems, among sovereign nations, demands funding the Universal Development Plan, which will require the construction of about 60,000 nuclear fueled facilities throughout the world, at least 300 here in the United States. So I am suspicious of the Green faction, an auxiliary force of the Wall St.operation, running on about the evils of nuclear fueled power. *Youre hilarious. Have you ever thought about stand-up comedy?.your abject ignorance of all things NWO.inclines me to believe youre part of some NGO Soros-type foundation, living off tax free $$$NUCLEAR ENERGY is an absolutely filthy way to boil water..FREE ENERGY has been cuckolded by BIG OIL /13 family/Old Black Nobility/Rothschild vested interests in leaving us ALL slaves to their artificially machinated staus quo.You are operating within a very tiny, self-proclaimed, parameter of plausible possibilities(Why am I wasting my time here, with a totally deleteriously programmed automaton???) Youre pretty funny yourself. I never mentioned empowering the Private Sector, quite the opposite. No sense accusing each other of being the enemy of humanity. Youre just not as informed as you think you are. Nuclear energy is absolutely necessary for the perpetuation and elevation of humanity. Have a nice Labor Day Clarc King You claim ( The Fukushima mess can be cleaned up ) , lmbo is that why the yakuza will not let scientist into Fukushima from around the world only homelss right . Or is that why they claim radiation is like idiotic Bananas potato chips or walking in sunshine everyday instead I wonder . ( you claim its waste, is a valuable agileprovocateur? Gee, buddy, all I said was that waste is a valuable asset. The oligarchical powers that be, need to keep humanity in a state of want and fear. Comments here, go on to say that man is a virus and that out numbers must be culled. This is insanity. In this instance where nuclear fueled energy could give the world limitless energy supply, we instead hear that there is not enough to go around and we do not have the resources to do anything right, etc. our perspective over energy and the pollutants of nuclear waste, our own interests, is subverted. Man simply does not have to live this way. Using our brainpower nuclear waste is fuel as demonstrated in the Fast Neutron Reactor technology. Do not be afraid. The Mainstream media promotes the Linear no-threshold lie that radiation in the tiniest amount is certain death. By pretending they are withholding the information regarding Fukushima, they further the anti-nuke fear-based propaganda to the gullible who are so awake theyll believe anything. WTFukishima media . :-O He might be drinking the kool-aid in the fact that he isnt afraid. But he is right about Nuclear power being a virtual necessity since the alternative is to increase the amount of green house gasses we expel by ten fold. Personally I think Nuclear reactors should only be put in geographic areas like the midwest where there is little to no noticeable plate shifting. Nothing is going to change for the better until all the 1% of the sick, twisted greedy bastards that are presently pushing all the buttons are extracted from the planet. Sadly human wisdon has not kept up with technology, The bad news is we might starve ourselves to death or rot our lungs out for two or three generations or irradiate ourselves into oblivion. But the good news is we cant destroy the land and its oceans. Not by land time. Bar ditches and old cemeteries tell us this. The ground-zero bamboo they found growing at Nagasaki and Hiroshima tells us this. The foliage we hack through at the Mayan and Aztec ruins tells us this. The Northern Ground Grass dont grow no more in our concrete jungles? Come back in a thousand years. Okay, make it a hundred thousand. Hell, go for a million. Understand what I mean by land time? One of our fallacies is we humans measure things by human time and human selves. We cant think land time. Another is we think were important to the scheme of things. S t. Were closer to the universe jesters. Did you know the ancients put up stones along Japans coasts hundreds of years ago that say . . . dont build your houses any closer to the sea than this stone? Why? Because if you do, a tsunami will wash your human ass away. Fact. Stones are still there. HUMANKIND IS A VIRUS ON PLANET EARTH. Good article. The attention not giving to Fukushima is by design, I ask you , who stands to lose the most if man kind knew the complete truth going back to the start of splitting the atom, all the secrete test done on poor women their unborn babies at hospitals across the USA, the military men who stood on ships in trenches not far from open air blasts, the spraying of radiation on certain parts of ST Louis, huge landfills in ST Louis with no lining to keep it from leaking into the water supplies the fires now burning is a landfill in ST Louis, open air burning at Oak Ridge of nuke waste from Germany others nations, the use of HARRP to control weather, ship yard workers becoming ill after working on the Regan at Bremington, the Regan sailors who have died the ones so sick even their children suffering all related to radiation, the high cancer rates very high of all that live within 50 miles of a nuke plant, down winders of WIPP now sick. One source is http://Bobby1s.blogspot.com who has shown in medial terms he his son got from Fukushima WIPP, the evidence is out here but have been locked away by the very ones who would lose the most. Who is behind endless wars, displacing Natives off their land to mine this deadly stuff when done leave a land mass not fit for no humans. wow, and the news media would have us believe that survivalists are mostly the evil tea-party types. guess they havent been to your site yet.. junk science.. not supported by any data.. I work on West coast of Vancouver Island during the summers as a scientist) and can attest that the ocean is not lifeless as stated here. I also have taken water samples can count them in a beta counter and gamma counter (to monitor radiation, I have access to this instrumentation) and find no statistical increase in the waters over the past 2 years.. there is a small increase (perhaps -510 cpm), but this is against a background of about 70-75 cmp that exists naturally and everywhere on earth so difference ins solar flares and radiation take up much of this and therefore, the author is simply full of it. I have worked with various radioactive isotopes as biological tracers for 25 years and have lots of experience and understand the risks sma;; correction- the increase is 5 -10 cpm, not 510, for some reason the hyphen dissapeared when typing 
2	Black Community Goes After Megyn Kelly For Ferguson Racism, Want Her Fired From Fox News Recently, during one of her late-night segments, Megyn Kelly got irritated with Fox producers, after they interrupted a segment about the beheading of American journalist James Foley by ISIS. They transitioned to footage of protesters in Ferguson, MO. Kelly brought on Fox contributor and Iraq combat vet Pete Hegseth to discuss the beheading video, and what it could potentially mean for the United States and ISIS. Halfway through their conversation, the Fox control room decided to go full-screen with live video of police clashing with protesters in Ferguson. Hold on, Kelly told her staff. I realize just I realize somethings happening in Ferguson, but were talking about something important here, so can you at least split-screen the video? Look, the protesters and the police are clashing again, alright? Theyre clashing again. But were talking about the death of an American who was beheaded, and Pete deserves his say. She then continued her conversation.

3	Saudi Prince Demands US Ground Troops Remove Bashar al-AssadBy Kurt Nimmo The former ambassador to the United States said if the need for US ground troops arises in the effort to depose al-Assad he hopes the president will change his mind. Asked if Saudi Arabia would send ground troops, al-Faisal said no way. It would be a mistake for the United States, or Great Britain to send in ground troops and overthrow the Assad regime, Obama told the BBC in April. However, around the time Obama made this remark the United States sent 250 ground troops into Syriain direct violation of that countrys national sovereigntyunder the pretense of fighting the Islamic State. The Saudis scoffed and said the move was little more than window dressing. Asked about a remark by Iran that Saudi Arabias participation in the coalition bombing of Syria is illegal, al-Faisal said Irans troops on the ground killing Syrians is illegal. The Saudi prince failed to mention that Russia, Syria, Iran, and Iraq formed a coalition to fight the Islamic State in September 2015. The United States was offered to join the coalition but its response was unconstructive, according a statement by Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov. As a former diplomat, al-Faisal is undoubtedly aware of the invitation by Syria, but then we have to keep in mind he was talking to an American television audience that knows virtually nothing about the real situation in Syria. CBS did not clarify. That would be a deviation from the script. 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. If you want something done right do it yourself Saudis Prince Michael z Archangel replies: Better idea. Leave Assad in place. Remove al-Faisal. Over several decades a lot Syrians were disappeared and tortured by their govt. This month Amnesty International released details on the main Syrian facility where extensive torture of men and women has taken place. The Assad clan have blood on their hands but its up to the Syrian people to choose their leaders not the globalistsbut then, those of us in the US and west are made to choose between puppets and the few brave pols who cant be controlled (e.g. JFK and Wellstone) are taken out. The worst place on earth: inside Assads brutal Saydnaya prison do you have Syria confused with the U.S. of A. ? Hi drbhelthi, besides the link to the piece on Amnesty Internationals exposure of Saydnaya, Ive read several first hand accounts of Syrian dissenters who are now living with their families in the US, ranging from ordinary people unaffiliated with any organizations simply trying to eke out a basic hand to mouth existence in the US having lost everything they owned in Syria, to well educated successful physicians and business people who have been actively supporting an American Syrian foundation that sought to support democratic reform in Syria for years. Theres also a follow the money of the Assad clan billions aspect that strongly indicates they are working with / for the global elite. The key is researching Rami Makhlouf, the Syrian billionaire who controls 60% of Syrias economy, his brother the chief of Syrias version of CIA, and as Bashars cousin is known to be the overseer of the Assad clans fortune. Follow the money to offshore accounts handled by a group that hid Robert Mugabes stolen loot, and to co-investments with Bank of America, AIG, Goldman Sachs, et al. Thank you, Blu. Sorry, but I do not have access to the information you mention. I only have info documenting that the MOSSAD participates in all the shady deals, for a price, and controls many of the deals. I also have info verifying that ISIS-ISIL is the proxy army of MOSSAD/CIA continuing the terrorism initiated by Ben Gurion in 1947. Removing Arabs from the territories that Zionism plans to incorporate into the greater Israel is the goal. One immediate goal is the removal of Assad, which will enable Zionism to advance the borders of Israel into Syria, which goal stooges in the USGov are assisting. Yes, drbhelthi, Im not only aware of who and what is behind ISIS but, remarkably, somehow through a combination of digging and intuition, when the conflict in Syria first emerged, by analyzing a detailed Wall Street Journal article and some other evidence, I realized the onslaught of western, middle eastern, and Israeli intelligence support (8-10 nations) for the moderate rebels had to be a smokescreen for a much bigger version of Operation Cyclone which, of course, it was in the form of ISIS. As you know, I agree Zionism philosophy dominates the top of pyramid. As for removing Assad / invading Syria, the principle citation for this as set in stone agenda is none other than globalist minion and Clinton friend General Wesley Clark. Nobody questions how it is an elite stooge would become a public leak or whistle blower? This kind of set up is classic psy op technique and the fact that Clarks narrative is he first heard about the 7 countries from a subordinate is absurd on the face of it. You might also be interested to know Clarks biological father is Cohen FWIW, given your suspicions about Zionism. BTW, I tried to share this information with you a few times but each time it went down the Disqus memory hole. A final note on Clark, drbhelthi, is the clear sign he is not a sympathetic leaker, rather, he is an elitist minion and proved this last year by saying in a televised interview that he thinks disloyal Americans who do not support the war on terror (thought criminals) should be place in internment camps. Lastly, regarding the Greater Israel idea, it seems this is another iteration of the more solid looking Greater/New Middle East project, each iteration controlled by the same cabal regardless of the name with NWO regionalism being the apotheosis of the rapidly developing techno prison planet. I suspect that family histories determine who is promoted into NATO leadership positions. Non-Khazarians dont qualify. As an erudite scholar with a background in human psychology / social anthropology, I urge you, drbhelthi, to consider looking at Syrias plutocracy through the lens of power corrupts.and the Iron Law of Politics. Both sides, the MSM and the alt media, have oversimplified the Syrian political system. The western establishment emphasizes the tyranny while the alt media has overlooked it. The regime has served its people but it also takes no prisoners in its authoritarian approach. Same with Russia, its always more complex than the pictures were painted but the alt media forgets about the 1999 false flags and historical democide and the increasingly brutal crackdowns on peaceful dissent not being reported by the MSM or the alt media. Regards, B Demand? Its just two minute clip. Heres what they said CBS Reporter in CBS clip: Do you hope the US will go beyond air strikes [to battle ISIS]? Towards the end of the clip Reporter with Charlie Rose concluding remarks: Saudi Arabias and Irans foreign ministers met this week in New York and Im told [Iran] President Rouhani who you spoke to could visit the [Saudi] Kingdom soon, something Prince Turki said would be a welcome step. Bilderberger elitist Charlie Rose: After the meeting between the prime ministers the Iranian prime minister said this could be the beginning of a new era. 8/25/16 global MSM reporting on the evolving battle fronts US Secretary of State John Kerry held talks with Saudi Arabias Deputy Crown Prince, Mohammad Bin Salman, into the early hours of Thursday morning on ways to end Yemens conflict and resume peace talks between the warring sides. Kerry arrived in Jeddah from Nigeria for discussions with Saudi leaders and other Gulf Arab states and will also update them on US meetings with Russia addressing military cooperation in Syria, a senior US official said ahead of the talks. The US State Department said Kerry would meet his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, in Geneva on Friday [8/26/16] to try to close a deal on possible military cooperation and intelligence sharing in Syria. It could see Al Assads warplanes grounded, while Russian and US militaries coordinate strikes against Daesh. Cant they skip the tea and sympathy and just hold talks via Skype or something? All this galavanting strikes me as a stupid waste of money. OUR money. Ive long thought that too. Its the visual theatrics that keeps the plebs glued to their boobtubes. Also, the constant interjection of soap opera-esque story lines. Good cop bad cop and Kabuki theater spices it up! In their minds, we dont need our money, we need to be their debt slaves too busy on the hamster wheels to figure anything out. Assad is the only thing that has held everything together as well as it has. Thats largely true and looking at the mess in Syria from a layered pyramid of power view, it seems the goal was never really to oust Assad but to use Syria as a staging grounds for Operation Cyclone 2.0. The end game is world govt and technocracy, even Hezbollah is trying to install technocrats instead of standard politicians. Something BIG is transforming the middle east in to an Orwellian techno-NWO. Who the heII does Prince Turki al-Faisal think he is?? Hitlery?!??! Remove him your own goddamned self, you s.o.b. Assad has done nothing to hurt me. The Saudis different story. Thats not what the embedded video or Turki said elsewhere, i.e. to remove Assad, so a bit of a red herring, a distraction, because we know the Saudis have been loyal Globalist puppets and still are. Better to save our wrath and fire power for the banksters who are angling for an expanded role for the UN and a multipolar global military force on the march towards world government. This is from their own mouths in their own white papers (on the dialectic multipolar strategy) not being deconstructed for us in the major alt media sites. Removing Saudi princes, their oil dollars and their israeli string-pullers would clear up the picture. A good start would be to remove the treasonists from congress, who pledge 1st allegiance to Israel instead of the U.S., MOSSAD spies from the Pentagon, and convert the U.S. Federal Reserve to U.S. ownership. Removing the quislings in congress and the judicial branch would be excellent, yet, unless we create wide galvanized awakening, it will be as unlikely as the challenge Germany faces with its puppets. I hope you are seeing some progress in the awakening where you are, drbhelthi, now that the immigration pandemonium is rattling some cages. The arrogance of these people is astounding. Why doesnt HE remove Assad himself? Why should we do his dirty work for him? When asked if Saudi Arabia is willing to send ground troops, he said I do not see a reason why we shouldnt. The article is misleading. They need something to stop them in their tracks like stoop funding them, and an earth quake of 9 would cripple them enough to stop the fighting. much fuss, mess and misery for a soon to be obsolete energy source ! 
3	Secrets of the Federal Reserve: American Wealth Destroyed by Currency Coup From WithinBy Aaron Dykes If people whove been thrown out of work, out of their homes and into bankruptcy understood what had been done, and by whom, they would have overthrown it practically overnight. This insightful video discusses how the New York Federal Reserve is a corporation, largely owned by the top 10 banks including many international banks and works to increase the wealth of its shareholders at the expense of everyone else: Secrets of the Federal Reserve: U.S. Economy, Finance and Wealth The private control of this important central bank works through several channels, but centers around a handful of the top wealthy families in the ruling oligarchy including the Rothschilds, Warburgs, Rockefellers, DuPonts and others. Direct ownership is bolstered through interlocking control between other Federal Reserve branches through board members and directors, as well as ties to family dynasty networks. The Federal Reserve is in turned steered by the agenda of the Bank for International Settlements, an institution which also has ties to ranking families of the banking houses. Ron Paul: How the Fed Destroys Americans Standard of Living When the President signs this bill, the invisible government of the monetary power will be legalized.the worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking and currency bill. Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr. 191,opponent of the Federal Reserve Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce. Paul Warburg, drafter of the Federal Reserve Act Federal Reserve It is not federal, and it does not have any reserves. G. Edward Griffin on the Federal Reserve System If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. Thomas Jefferson was concise in his early warning to the American nation Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its laws. Mayer Amschel Rothschild There is much to say about unfair control by the Federal Reserve, but for now, here are some of the criticisms that call for action: The Federal Reserve System, known colloquially as the Fed, has faced various criticisms since its conception in 1913. The system was created as a third attempt at central banking in the United States. The Federal Reserve Act, which began the Fed, was a hotly debated issue in its own right. Some economists, such as John Taylor, have asserted that the Fed was responsible, or at least partially responsible, for the United States housing bubble which occurred prior to the 2007 recession. They claim that the Fed kept interest rates too low following the 2001 recession, The housing bubble then led to the credit crunch. Then-Chairman Alan Greenspan disputes this interpretation. He points out that the Feds control over the long-term interest rates critics have in mind is only indirect. The Fed did raise the short term interest rate over which it has control (i.e. the federal funds rate), but the long term interest rate (which usually follows the former) did not increase. The Federal Reserves role as a supervisor and regulator has been criticized as being ineffective. Former U.S. Senator Chris Dodd, then-chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, remarked about the Feds role in the present economic crisis, We saw over the last number of years when they took on consumer protection responsibilities and the regulation of bank holding companies, it was an abysmal failure. In the 2010 midterm elections, the Tea Party movement, comprising conservatives, made the Federal Reserve a major point of attack; it was picked up by Republican candidates across the country. In Utah, GOP Senate candidate Mike Lee accused the Fed of trying to monetize the debt by printing money to buy government bonds. Fed officials have hotly denied that. GOP Senate candidate Ken Buck in Colorado said Congress should be shining a light on the Federal Reserve because it is too cozy with private interests. GOP Senate candidate Rand Paul in Kentucky, whose father Congressman Ron Paul has long attacked the Fed, argues that the Fed is hurting the economy by lowering the dollar and by its easy money policies that cause booms and busts. One criticism of the Fed, typified by the non-mainstream Austrian School, is that the Federal Reserves control of interest rates is an unnecessary and counterproductive interference in the economy. The individual Federal Reserve Banks are the operating arms of the central banking system, and they combine both public and private elements in their makeup and organization. Each bank has a nine member board of directors: three elected by the commercial banks in the Banks region, and six chosenthree each by the member banks and the Board of Governorsto represent the public with due consideration to the interests of agriculture, commerce, industry, services, labor and consumers. These regional banks are in turn controlled by the Federal Reserve Board, whose members are appointed by the President of the United States. Another objection is the Feds lack of transparency. In particular, many believe that the public has a right to know what goes on in the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings. (Wikipedia) Humor: Who Owns the Federal Reserve? Aaron Dykes is a co-founder of TruthstreamMedia.com. 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. Woddie the treasonous Wilson should be exhumed and hung upside down for his part. Aaron the first two banks of the U.S. were not central banks. Stop spreading the propaganda that keeps us away from our constitutional banking rights. The first two were development banks. They did not lend to the state, they lent to industry. They lent to development projects like rail, canal etc The did allow some foreign ownership but didnt allow voting right to foreigners. Crushing the second bank is what led to the civil war, Jackson was a traitor and illegally withdrew the deposits and put them in NY wall street banks. How convenient ahhh Do your research before you spread this type of garbage about the first two banks. 
3	The Post-Collapse Realities of Your Survival LocationI wanted to put a few thoughts out there about the realities of your survival location. To read what is out there in terms of opinion and advice, it appears that to survive any coming apocalypse you need to be in a fortified self-sustaining retreat somewhere out in the boonies, with three years of food in the basement and the ability to grow food plus animals. Everything depends on the situation and the threat that emerges, including your own personal and family situation and preparations. One key thing is not to make assumptions now, but to remain flexible. My advice is not to head for the hills by reflex, because unless you have somewhere to go you will be out there with the rest of the refugees in the chaos. If you even have a minimal amount of preparations at home you should shelter in place and make do the best you can. This should be a low-profile shelter in a place where you set yourself up to draw minimum attention to yourself as the waves of chaos pass. You may be sheltering in a basement with your family, for example. I think that there are two main things that you have to achieve, phases if you like, in order to survive in the long term: 1) Have enough stores, firearms, tactical ability and numbers if possible, as well as a covert location in order to survive the event and the initial chaos and disorder. This is a short- to medium-term goal. 2) Long term, you will need to be able to live in a protected sustainable community. All prepper stores will run out in the end, and the only solution to survive and thrive is to be able to produce food and protect your people and your resources. So, unless you started in a sustainable protected retreat, you will have to survive where you are until such time arrives when you can safely get to one. Remember that in a full TEOTWAWKI scenario there will be mass panic and chaos as people try to find food and survive. There will be a huge population die-off, and there will likely be a delay of a year or two before food can be produced. So, if you survived the event and were not already in that ideal retreat, you then have to move. Did you hide and protect your bug out vehicle with a supply of stored gas? Are you going to have to walk, or use other modes of transport? The key thing is that your group will have to make it to somewhere where they can be accepted by a current sustainable community, or move onto land where they can create one. This will involve travel of some sort and also the ability to defend yourselves while moving from point A to B. If it is true TEOTWAWKI, then it could go on for years and you may have to travel to establish a farm somewhere. If you are going to be taken in by a community or small town that is sustaining itself, then you have to show your worth in some way. So, regardless of your level of preparation, it is never too late to learn the skills necessary for a post-collapse world. Max Velocity is an author, trainer, and operator of the website Max Velocity Tactical, providing tactical training and consultancy services for those preparing for disaster survival and high threat, protection and combat operations. His book Contact! A Tactical Manual for Post Collapse Survivalcovers the subject matter in the article above, which Max derived from years of experience gained from service with special operations forces. For those who are fully squared away on the prepping side, his book: Rapid Fire! Tactics for High Threat, Protection and Combat Operationsomits mention of prepping, and expands on tactics. 
2	Any Camper Can Find This Hidden Animal In The Lake In Less Than 4 Seconds Have you ever camped near a lake? Well if you have then you know when I say it is the greatest thing ever. To wake up from your tent and take a dip in a beautifully serine lake is the most amazing thing in this world. If I could wake up near a lake every day I would. I am planning to retire near water, whenever that day comes. Ponds always surface near lakes. Little ponds are where you find immense amount of wildlife. In this picture you can find one little guy that is very well hidden. In this picture there is one little animal that does not want to be found. He is hiding from any predator that may eat him as prey. The animal is not a fish or a bird. This type of animal does not look the same when it is born. It is in a much different body than this one. It goes through metamorphosis to become an adult version. Both stages of this animals life are really cool and have been studied by many scientists. Have you found the hidden animal yet? If you havent, dont worry. He is almost impossible to find. It took me about 7 seconds to find him. I had a friend who found the little animal in less than 2 seconds. I was amazed. The animal that is hidden is an itty-bitty frog. He is hidden somewhere in the pond. It would have been much harder to find a tadpole. Luckily we only had to find the frog. How long did it take you to find the frog?

Vin Armani is the host of The Vin Armani Show on selfnews Post, TV Star of Gigolos on Showtime, Author, DJ, and Agorist Entrepreneur. Follow Vin on Twitter and subscribe on YouTube. Slavery isnt illegal~ Please see: Capitis Diminutio Maxima or our names in all capital letters. It signifies a maximum loss of legal status to that of slaves in bondage to uphold the massive debt they created, and slaves have no rights, only privileges for which we must first ask permission (permits, registrations, licenses) then pay. Our de facto federal government can ONLY interact with us via these corporate entities in all capital letters, and I dont know about you, but Im not a legal fiction, creature of the mind, illusory entity, Im ME! IMHO, any affiliation to the political system to which we must fraudulently consent in Order to be recognized by and thereby legally (but not lawfully, apples and oranges) bound is simply calling a stinking rose by a different name. Libertarian = tarian = tare, as in the opposite of wheat = morally relative. Their system is martial/corporate/maritime/admiralty/UCC/commercial law jurisdiction. Its all about jurisdiction and competency, then words and law, and tricking us into believing we are something we are not, and that is a possession of the defunct federal government (since at least 1933) as an individual fictitious legal entity or, an illusory creature of the mind only. Its a scam, folks, and we must voluntarily fall for it. Good point. The servitude is voluntary. And the subjects hide behind words like, president and citizen because they sound so much nicer than master and slave. Voluntary. Like breathing. Try to not do it and see what happens. We can easily, as Lewie below writes, not do it. There are plenty of remedies, we just need to learn them, and yes, theyll collapse like the house of cards they are. They have nothing without our stipulation, contract, or consent. Their armed thugs need to be educated first, because without them, they have nothing. And I mean police LEOs (they are no longer peacemen and women they are police officers, a totally different animal), the military, and any of their employees who carries a weapon designed to assault us. Most of the atrocities in the world are done by order takers who think those who gave them orders have the authority to do so, whatll happen when they all find out thats not true? (Rhetorical, we all know the answer to that.) Do you use the identification that has been assigned to you? I havent had anything assigned to me. There are identity cards (hearsay) assigned to legal fictions or individual fictitious entities (corporations) if thats what you mean, but Im not a creature of the mind, Im me, a flesh and blood woman. Besides, they own all those cards they hand out, so theyre assigned (legal term) to themselves. God bless~ Okay, Do you use the fictitious entity that they own? Already answered, they use it because it is theirs. Why are you asking? You did not answer my question, directly. You alluded to the possibility that you do not use the fictitious entity , but it was a yes or no question. You avoided answering directly. The reason I ask the question is because I have thought about this issue much. I see that when a person wants to live in society and reap the benefits of the vast amount of products, services and creature comforts that are offered therein, then their sovereignty is willfully forfeited. Simple reasoning. The thought of being free from the laws that are restrictive to liberty is appealing, yet I have seen others that have tried to stand that ground, only to be ground down to powder under authoritarian rule. Even by signing up for internet service, Disqus, email, and turning on a cell phone, you are agreeing to their terms of service. These are not necessary for life, but when any individual makes an agreement to be subjected to an authority, then their sovereignty is forfeited. It seems just and righteous on the surface, especially in these days of totalitarianism growing like dandelions on fertile ground, yet just like when we click to agree to terms and conditions of service, we sign away our liberties for comfort or convenience. You pretty much have to live in the wilderness to escape the authoritarian rule. Even then, if you are found, your liberties will be molested. I asked you the very simple Yes or No question, because you educate people on the topic, so I want to know if you have had any success in its practice. It looks like you are avoiding the direct question. I would rather not assume as to why. We all should learn how, when, why and where to answer questions without giving evidence against ourselves. This is the mechanism that tricks us into a jurisdiction that is a total and utter fraud that will take advantage of us at every turn, or into a conversation someone else is directing us into, which is also tricking us into answering questions better left unanswered. It all boils down to knowing who we really are, and then applying that knowledge in the real world like I just did with you. We are not under any duty nor obligation to answer any questions, and when we realize where people are going with those questions, and its usually to get us to give evidence against ourselves thats their method and what gives them their ONLY authority against us the best response is usually a reversal or question back, or even better, none at all, depending of course on the topic or issue at hand. So Ive just shown how to deal with those who need us to give evidence against ourselves hence our permission to use, control, and ultimately own us, or who want to guide us into a box of conversation we dont want to visit for the same reason. Its easy once we get the hang of it. To answer your questions and concerns as best I can, this is not about total sovereignty, nor even about sovereignty itself, and its not about removing oneself entirely from society and not using any of their goods or services. Thats just not possible, its too late for that. Its about knowing who you are, learning their game, and playing it safely and intelligently, because the truth of the matter is, thats pretty much the very best we can do for now. And it is very possible to get to the point where they dont want to talk to us at all (but they will still contract with us for goods and services, because without us they have nothing), because once they know that we know how to play their game and arent going to fall for their tricks, most of the time they turn tail, and run the other way, and that is the ultimate goal to live along side them (everything is a corporation now) without regard to and for them and their phony color of law, in peace, in our flesh and blood, not implicitly in their fictional character like they want/need/require of us to deploy their illusory authority. I hope youre satisfied with this response, because I cant spell it out any more clearly. Just caught your message on yt~ and responded there. And here I thought you were a troll LOL My apologies, God bless you~ Thanx. I understand being jaded here on the internet of things.

Yes, I posted under a different user name when I was lost and asleep, or as I told you yesterday, when I was a liberal atheist, and that was only a few years ago 2012, I believe. I only very recently came back here because I wanted to post on selfnews Post, but had to use the same log in because I have the same email address. Youre so right, night and day! Told ya! LOL My user name then even reflected my militant atheistic views it was sansdieux. Turns out, I was WRONG for pointing my vitriol for the condition of the world to believers in myths which I realize now was only an absence of God in MY world, and Im SO blessed to have been saved from that awful, lost, confused, angry place.

All those duping delight smirks these monsters make, all of them, are because behind the curtain they mock us for being so complacent and compliant, and what theyre really thinking with those smarmy smirks is Gotcha! Yeah, they got us alright, but not for long. Short answer is the citizens are still getting screwed. . i dont want my nation to be full of thinkers.. i want my nation to be full of workers. . . . humans have no rights to water. . .

2	You Wont Believe Who Was Just Hired By The Obama Administration... This Is Disgusting Despite his terrible decisions as a leader, President Obama has maintained relevancy by desperately latching on to liberal values and an attempt to be politically correct. According to recent reports, Obama has just hired the first openly transgender employee at the White House. Raffi Freedom-Gurspan, a transgender woman, has just been appointed as the Outreach and Recruitment Director for Presidential Personnel in the White House Office of Presidential Personnel. Before joining the White House staff, Freedman-Gurspan was a policy advisor at the National Center for Transgender Equalitys racial and economic justice initiative. Some speculation that the administrations decision to hire her was based more on a political message and less on actual qualifications. Raffi Freedom-Gurspan demonstrates the kind of leadership this Administration champions, White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett claimed in a statement about the step forward. Her commitment to bettering the lives of transgender Americans, particularly transgender people of color and those in poverty, reflects the values of this Administration. Unfortunately, Obamas attempt to manipulate the American public appears to be workinghes already receiving praise for representing the transgender community.

3	Alternative Media Under Attack: Someone Trying to Set-up Truthstream MediaBy Aaron Dykes and Melissa Melton Following reports that someone was trying to set-up WeAreChanges Luke Rudkowski andOathKeepers Stewart Rhodes and Dan Johnson, founder of People Against the N.D.A.A, as well as an eerie e-mail from a group calling themselves Political Hackerz Squad claiming that it was trying to set-up dozens of alternative media figures with child porn (and claiming credit for attacks on Rudkowski/Rhodes), Truthstream Media was alerted of an apparent attack to set-up either Melissa Melton and Aaron Dykes and/or the recipients. A couple days ago, Truthstream received an e-mail informing us of the unsettling fact that an e-mail attachment had been sent to at least one prominent individual that supposedly had child porn attached. According to the source who warned us after receiving this, a fraudulent e-mail address MelissaMelton@urssmail.org (which has no connection whatsoever with Truthstream Media), was used to correspond with and carry out this apparent attack. Reportedly, the unknown provocateur lured in this media personality over the course of several rounds of correspondence, giving the impression that a radio interview was requested. After some back and forth about possible interview dates, an attachment was sent in PDF format purporting that it contained information about [the] shows format, possible topics and other information pertaining to a possible interview but instead contained official looking promotional photos and logos from Truthstream and then included the illegal and disgusting images in question. For the record, Truthstream Media does not EVER send attachments when requesting interviews, was in no way involved in this shameful act, and in fact, has only had a small handful of guests on their radio show, currently on TruthFrequency Radio and previously on Blog Talk Radio and Unbound Radio. In fact, Truthstream Media never attempted to contact this individual as a guest, though Aaron Dykes has previously interviewed this person while at Infowars.com. PLEASE NOTE that any e-mail attachments claiming to be from Truthstream Media are fraudulent and may be part of an attempt to discredit or set-up us or others in the alternative media. PLEASE DO NOT open any attachments as they are not communications from our website. The previous e-mail conveying an apparent threat or confession to set-up numerous individuals in the alternative media which Truthstream and several other groups and individuals received is posted at the link below. The self-titled Political Hackerz Squad who sent this e-mail claimed to be soldiers in a digital battlefield who had been blackmailed and used to set-up people up for the Obama Administration. Whatever the veracity of these claims, actual attempts have been made to damage, destroy or discredit Truthstream Media and others in the alternative media which are criminal and immoral in nature. Please be aware that someone may be trying to spread these message to others in the alternative media, and be aware of any suspicious attachments. See e-mails HERE Aaron Dykes and Melissa Melton created Truthstream Media.com, where this first appeared,as an outlet to examine the news, uncover the deceptions, pierce through the fabric of illusions, 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	Watch Sheriff Joe Destroy Al Sharpton For Racism Sheriff Joe Arpaio stayed true to his reputation when he decided to confront Al Sharpton on his claims that the enforcement of immigration laws is an issue of race. Sharpton is just one of many liberals who like to associate the necessary duty of protecting our border and securing our nation with racism. Sheriff Arpaio argued that he will enforce the law, regardless of race. He argues that 20 percent of the criminals in his jails are in the country illegally, and that is an issue regardless of race. Arpaios commendable approach has received support from states bordering Mexico, who see clearer than most the direct consequences of leaving our country open. What do you think? Does the government need to take a page out of Arpaios book and start enforcing our laws? 
1	After reports surfaced Thursday that a local Gap customer became ill after consuming 37 pairs of five-pocket straight-fit corduroy pants, the clothing chain recalled the wrinkle-resistant mens trousers and issued a statement urging customers to refrain from eating any style of their pants. Gap is taking the necessary steps in the matter: First, we are going to put a label on our corduroy pants reminding people that its unhealthy to eat clothing. Second, we would just like to say directly to our customers, right now, that our pants are designed to be worn, not eaten. And third, if you recently purchased multiple pairs of corduroy pants, you can send them back for a full refund if you purchased the garments with the intent of eating them, said Gap Inc. spokesperson Dina Abrahms, adding that the companys sweaters, sweatshirts, tees, and tanks were also not intended to be swallowed or digested, and that in the event that a customer did consume multiple articles of Gap clothing, he or she should go to the nearest hospital immediately. Now, if you really must eat our garments, please do so in moderation. One or two items at the very most, and never 37 pairs of pants in one sitting. The company clarified that customers could feel free to eat their long-sleeve thermals, though, adding, Theyre actually pretty good. 
1	James and Vito Vincenzo, brothers and co-owners of Vincenzo Family Construction and Waste Removal Corporation of Long Island, NY, announced Monday they will give the U.S. government five days to fully repay the national debt. Though the two brothers declined to specify what would happen if the government failed to repay its $4.1 trillion debt, they did imply that a failure to do so would be extremely unfortunate. We are so terribly disappointed in the governments continued inability to repay our loan, a loan we made in good faith, said Vito Vincenzo at Mondays press conference. We have been owed this money since the early 1950s and are beginning to grow impatient. Should we not receive full payment in the allotted five days, I am afraid the consequences will likely be out of our hands. We love this country very much, added James Vincenzo, Vitos younger brother. Nearly as much as we love our own dear mother Celeste VincenzoGod rest her souland beautiful Sicily. So we would be greatly saddened if some of Americas more beautiful buildings and landmarks were to collapse due to a series of, lets just say, unfortunate accidents. Like that Grand Canyon. Thats a real nice piece of landI would certainly hate to see anything happen to it. At a press conference yesterday, President Clinton, sporting casts on his legs due to a nasty spill down the stairs, addressed the matter. We are working hard to repay the Vincenzo brothers as quickly as possible, he said. I value these two respectable businessmen and their spirit of giving and patience. James and Vito, if you are listening, I am working with Congress to cut several major welfare programs and restructure the federal tax brackets as we speak, and I am confident we should have at least $450 billion for you by Friday. Though Clinton promised to repay the debt in full, he noted that the majority of it is Ronald Reagans fault and strongly encouraged the Vincenzo brothers to pay the 40th president a small visit at his San Fernando Valley nursing home/ranch. Mr. Clinton is a very nice man for saying these things. A very nice man, Vito Vincenzo said. Were it up to me, I would just forget the whole thing. But unfortunately it just isnt like that. We love Mr. Clinton and his beautiful wife Hillary. And that precious little Chelsea is just a doll. It would be tragic if she were to disappear on the way home from school only to turn up several months later in a dumpster in Passaic, New Jersey. That would be a real shame. Whether the government can gather together the money in the allotted time is in serious question. However, many other respectable business families, including the Salvatores, the Gambinos and the Gottis, have stepped forward with offers to loan the government the needed money at a reasonable interest rate. The Vincenzo family has a long history of providing loans to people and organizations in need since arriving in the U.S. in the early 1920s, boasting a client list that includes many heads of government and captains of industry. The mantle of leadership has since been passed down from father to son, ending up in James and Vitos hands in 1967, when their father was killed in a freak shooting accident. The Vincenzo loans that led up to the current government debt began in 1953, and have since been used for the purchase of critically needed military equipment, arms for Central American democratic rebels and new traffic signs throughout the Midwest. 
3	Ukraine and the Battle for South Stream PipelineTony Cartalucci Toward a Europe Whole and Free, and its Energy Market Too Toward a Europe Whole and Free was literally the title of NATOs Atlantic Councils May 2014 event celebrating NATOs continuous expansion since the fall of the Soviet Union and its aspirations to integrate all along Russias borders and even Russia itself into its geopolitical socioeconomic order. The Atlantic Councils official program webpage for the event stated: This two-day conference will honor the historic milestones that have forged a strong and prosperous Atlantic community and explore the most pressing challenges to the completion of a Europe whole and free. This vision, successfully implemented for two decades with a bipartisan and transatlantic strategy, has been called into question both within current NATO and EU members and by Russias aggressive actions. Leaders and experts will gather at the Councils headquarters to debate the opportunities and challenges in Europes east and south with the aim of exploring a renewed common transatlantic approach. In their own words, those attending the Atlantic Council gathering describe the battle for Ukraine being fought to complete their socioeconomic consolidation in Europe this includes integrating Russia. Secretary John Kerry at the gathering would literally state: Our European Allies have spent more than 20 years with us working to integrate Russia into the Euro-Atlantic community. By integrating Russia, of course, Kerry means overthrowing any independent national political order that exists in Moscow and replacing it with one that answers to Wall Street, London, and now Brussels. This can be seen clearly in attempts by the West to replicate its model of color revolution within Russian territory itself. But Kerry and the rest of EU-NATO, recognizing that efforts to subvert and overthrow an independent political order in Russia have failed, have resorted to a policy of encirclement, containment, and confrontation, with Ukraine being only one of many battlefields the West is fighting upon. Kerry would declare Europes energy market as another. He stated (emphasis added): if we want a Europe that is both whole and free, then we have to do more together immediately, with a sense of urgency, to ensure that European nations are not dependent on Russia for the majority of their energy. In this age of new energy markets, in this age of concern about global climate change and carbon overload, we ought to be able to rush to the ability to be able to make Europe less dependent. And if we do that, that will be one of the greatest single strategic differences that could be made here. We can deliver greater energy independence and help to diversify energy sources that are available to the European markets, and we can expand the energy infrastructure across Europe, and we can build up energy storage capacity throughout the continent. And immediately they did. After resisting pressure from the EU regarding Russias South Stream pipeline, Bulgaria has been forced to suspend ongoing construction, jeopardizing interests and opportunities not only for Russia, but for the nations the pipeline is to pass through. The Battle for South Stream The halting of construction followed a visit by US Senators John McCain, Christopher Murphy, and Ron Johnson with McCain in particular directly supporting the armed overthrow of the Ukrainian government earlier this year. In a Washington Post article titled, Bulgaria halts work on South Stream gas pipeline, it states: Bulgarias prime minister has ordered on Sunday a halt to construction work on the Gazprom-led South Stream pipeline project planned to bypass Ukraine as a transit country and consolidating Russias energy grip in Europe. Plamen Oresharski said after meeting U.S. Sens. John McCain, Christopher Murphy and Ron Johnson that he has ordered all work on the disputed project to continue only after consultations with Brussels. Moscow responded by pointing out the obvious nature of what are in all intents and purposes sanctions against Russia. The Moscow Times reported in an article titled, Russia Sees Underhanded Sanctions in Bulgarias Suspension of South Stream, that: Bulgarias decision to suspend construction of the Russia-led South Stream pipeline project on its territory, undermining Russias efforts to diversify its gas transportation infrastructure to Europe away from Ukraine, is an underhanded economic sanction thrust on Russia by the West, a top Russian diplomat and Russian industry analysts said Monday. The article would also point out that once the South Stream pipeline is completed it will diminish Ukraines importance as a transit point for Russian natural gas into Western Europe. It appears that the moves against South Stream are designed to at the very least, delay this inevitable outcome for as long as possible, to maintain leverage as the West struggles to consolidate power on behalf of their teetering proxy regime in Kiev. For Bulgarias part, not only have they disregarded US sanctions on Russia, choosing a Russian firm to build the pipeline, they appear eager to resolve the legal obstacles conveniently laid down amid the ongoing Ukrainian crisis, and complete the pipeline as soon as possible. Exploiting South Streams Delay The Wests plans to use South Streams delay to extort concessions from Russia and those working with it on the project. Additionally the delay will help preserve the benefits of Ukraines current monopoly on transporting Russian natural gas to Western Europe. To ensure maximum leverage, the West is placing key personnel within Ukraines energy sector, in addition to propping up the regime in Kiev. Perhaps the most indicative of the overall illegitimacy and criminal nature of the current EU-NATO posture was the appointment of Hunter Biden, son of US Vice President Joseph Biden, as a member of Ukraine energy giant Barismas board of directors. Biden Jr.s nepotist appointment is not where the conflict of interest begins or ends. Biden Jr. was also a director of the US State Departments National Endowment for Democracy (NED) subsidiary National Democratic Institute (NDI). The NED/NDI played an admitted role in building up opposition parties in Ukraine prior to the so-called Euromaidan protests and admittedly engineered the so-called Orange Revolution in Ukraine in 2004. More recently, they served as election monitors lending their stamp of approval of polling in Ukraine where entire provinces failed to vote in the east, opposition parties were unable to campaign in the west, and the aerial bombardment of cities across the country was underway. In effect, Biden Jr.s NDI overthrew a government ahead of himself being appointed as a director in the targeted nations largest energy company a dizzying conflict of interest. Coupled with the stated US agenda of reducing Russias influence in Europes energy market, this conflict of interest becomes a self-evident impropriety and an obvious component of the Wests agenda of encircling and containing Russia. It remains to be seen how long the South Stream delay lasts and what other moves the EU, NATO, and Ukraines openly foreign-influenced regime and industries take in implementing Secretary Kerrys stated goal of confronting Russia. For nations like Bulgaria, the cost to their sovereignty upon entering the European Union can now be acutely felt. Bulgaria is now unable to pursue their own interests because of dictates from Brussels made on behalf of special interests operating well beyond their borders and in absolute disregard to the peace and prosperity of the Bulgarian people. It is a cautionary tale for other nations around the world seeking to enter into similar supranational communities, most notably Southeast Asias ASEAN/AEC. NATO and the EUs open intent to integrate all of Europe including Russia into their geopolitical order, clearly by force if necessary, their abuse of the EUs legal framework to impose thinly veiled sanctions on Russia, overt nepotism, as well as obstructing the completion of projects that are demonstrably beneficial to their own member states reveals an emerging political order of immense criminality unbound by the rule of law and a clear and present danger to global stability. For those in eastern Ukraine weathering air raids, artillery barrages, and mechanized national guard composed of ultra-right Neo-Nazi militants, that instability is already a deadly, daily reality.

3	Man Sentenced to 2 Years of Probation, $1K Fine for Peaceful Facebook Post About Corrupt CopsBy William N. Grigg Roughly a year ago, as previously reported by The Free Thought Project, Townsend was charged with felony witness intimidation for a Facebook post in which he promised to wage a non-violent and legal shame campaign in the event a charge of resisting and obstructing was not dropped following a preliminary hearing on the following day. The March 18, 2015 Facebook post mentioned Corporal Richard Brockbank of the Meridian Police Department, the arresting officer, who had confronted Townsend while the latter was conducting a sidewalk protest in front of a tax preparation business. Brockbank claimed that Townsend had been jaywalking, although his official incident report did not describe that offense. After a brief conversation in which the officer tried to browbeat Townsend into admitting to the offense, Townsend demanded that Brockbank either charge him or let him go. When Brockbank refused to respond, Townsend shrugged and walked away, as was his legal right. Without legal cause or justification, Brockbank arrested Townsend for resisting and obstructing. Im hoping that the REAL reason I was harassed to begin with will be released by the State rather than I, Townsend wrote, clearly anticipating against all reasonable expectations, given that the witness was employed in a truth-aversive occupation that Officer Brockbank would testify freely, fully, and truthfully. If my case isnt dismissed tomorrow upon my request, I will begin a non-violent and legal shame campaign that will be remembered. That statement was not a threat of criminal violence, but a candid statement of a citizens intent to protest abuses he had suffered and to seek redress of grievances. It was recognized as such by District Judge James Cawthon during the March 19, 2015 preliminary hearing. While it is concerning what the state is alleging, what I dont hear is any threats related to any type of physical harm, violence, things of that nature, to the officer involved in this case, or his family, Cawthon ruled in response to a motion by the prosecution that Townsend be taken into custody (emphasis added). Rather than ordering that Townsend be taken into custody, Judge Cawthon issued an order setting up a hearing on March 30 and requiring the State to file that motion and have it served no later than Monday the 23rd. If that adversarial hearing had been allowed to occur, the matter would almost certainly have ended there. Under Idaho case law, Townsend could have explicitly made a personal threat against Brockbank without that act being defined as witness intimidation unless clear evidence existed that his intent was to prevent the officer from testifying fully, freely, and truthfully. On that understanding, in 2007 the Idaho Supreme Court overturned the witness intimidation conviction of a man who threatened an officer who had arrested him on a domestic violence charge. In 2011, the state Supreme Court overturned another conviction in a case involving an armed assault by the suspect against a witness in a narcotics trial; once again, the central issue was the lack of evidence that this action which involved a very serious crime was carried out for the purpose of affecting future testimony. Townsends antagonists knew they were riding a weak case. This is why, instead of complying with Judge Cawthons order, the Ada County Prosecutors Office sought, and obtained, an arrest warrant from a different judge on the following day, pointedly refusing to disclose Cawthons ruling and order dealing with the matter. This led to Townsends after-dark arrest later that Friday evening which would have led to a weekend in jail and the loss of his job had his mother not managed to obtain bail. Townsends felony trial was scheduled to begin on January 19. It ended in a mistrial after Assistant Ada County Prosecutor James Vogt objected to defense attorney Aaron Tribbles passing reference to the fact that Townsend faced a felony charge. Since March of last year, Townsend informs The Free Thought Project, I have spent more than $10,000 on my legal defense. There is no doubt I could have won this case on appeal, and its very likely that I would have won in a jury trial, too. Townsend points out that he received a personal message from a juror in his abortive January 19 trial urging me to keep fighting for my rights. As is so often the case, Townsend a man of modest means employed in the productive sector simply didnt have the financial resources to deal with a predatory prosecutor with essentially unlimited funds at his disposal. Ive been very blessed by people willing to help with the costs of this case, but Ive also had to move out of my home, and Im an hourly employee who cant keep taking time off from work, Townsend points out. Because of the financial demands of my trial Ive lost my house. Under the terms of the deal with the prosecutor, Townsend pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges. He will serve two years of unsupervised probation and was given a 180-day jail sentence, 179 days of which were suspended. He was also hit with a $1,000 fine, with half of that sum suspended. The contrived felony charge which carried a maximum sentence of five years in state prison and a $50,000 fine was dismissed with prejudice. However, the Meridian PD and the Ada County Prosecutors Office might still be able to arrange for Townsend to spend half a year in jail if he comes within eyeshot of his supposed victim, Meridian PD Corporal Richard Brockbank. Shortly after Townsend was arrested on the witness intimidation charge, the Ada County DA obtained a three-year order of protection forbidding him to have any contact with Brockbank, or come within 100 yards of him. The urgent attention displayed by the DA in this matter contrasted sharply with the indifference she exhibited several months later when Meridian resident Makaela Zabael-Gravatt twice sought protective orders after receiving explicit, credible death threats from Christopher Wirfs, a man who had a violent criminal history. Last September, after twice being refused protection by the County Prosecutors office or the Meridian PD, Zabael-Gravatt was shot and nearly killed in her own home by Wirfs. According to domestic violence counselor Jeannie Strohmeyer, the likeliest explanation for the denial of Zabael-Gravatts request for a protective order was that there was no domestic relationship between her and the aggressor, and she wasnt able to cite an incident of physical harm including false imprisonment. Ironically, while it is certainly true that Townsend was not in a domestic relationship with Officer Brockbank, there was a history of violence between them, specifically false imprisonment. In this case, however, it was the perpetrator of the criminal violence who immediately received an order of protection, owing entirely to his privileged status under what we are supposed to pretend is the law. In the service of the official fiction that Townsends rhetoric victimized a member of the states punitive priesthood, Ada County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney James Vogt composed two sophistry-laden motions. In one, an objection to a defense motion to dismiss, Vogt insisted that by criticizing Officer Brockbank on Facebook, Townsend had committed an act directly comparable to a cross-burning carried out by the Ku Klux Klan. Vogts second exercise in Olympic-caliber dishonesty was an objection to a defense Motion in Limine. Since Townsends statement was a form of political dissent, that defense motion contended, it is protected by the First Amendment and cannot be construed as a criminal act, so it shouldnt even be entered into evidence. In his objection, Vogt wrote that Townsends statement that he was prepared to conduct non-violent, legal protests in Brockbanks neighborhood constituted a true threat owing to the alleged war on police. Given the current political/cultural climate, Mr. Townsends message [serves] as a real and true threat, oozed Vogt in his objection. His words are more threatening in an era where [sic] the police are under attack from civilians, battered, and killed in the line of duty. To document that assertion, Vogts motion offered a footnote citing four news accounts of police being injured or killed. Two of them described minor injuries suffered by officers in the course of their not-exceptionally-dangerous jobs. Two others were high-profile stories of supposed martyrs in the so-called war on police: Lt. Joe Gliniewicz of Fox Lake, Illinois, and Deputy Darren Goforth of Harris County, Texas. Both died as a result of what the public was told were anti-police assassinations, and honored with the familiar Soviet-grade state funeral and saturation media coverage. As previously reported by The Free Thought Project, Gliniewicz committed suicide as a desperate cover-up for a long criminal career in which he had embezzled from the local Police Explorers program, harassed and threatened female co-workers, and explored the possibility of a contract hit on a county official who was investigating the officers illegal activities. Deputy Goforth wasnt assassinated by a cop hater; he was murdered horribly by a mentally ill man whose derangement is so severe that he may not have recognized the victim as a law enforcement officer. At the time of the shooting, Goforth a married father was not carrying out official duties, but rather en route to an assignation with his mistress, a woman who has been involved with several other deputies from the same department. Despite the fact that he has done nothing to injure or threaten Corporal Brockbank, Townsend could be arrested and charged if their paths happen to cross at any point over the next three years. Ive been a police accountability activist here for many years, Townsend points out. That order of protection places me in direct danger of imprisonment if I peacefully exercise my rights, or, for that matter, if I happen to run into Brockbank while simply going about my business. I cant feel safe anywhere in Meridian or Ada County and yet somehow Im threatening him? In keeping with the preferred procedures of its disreputable profession, the Ada County Prosecutors Office was able to arrange punishment without proving the offense. William N. Grigg writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com This is essentially extreme prosecutorial misconduct with viciously vindictive actions from some little Hitler whos gone power mad when given a bit of authority. Is this Fascist enough for everyone to comprehend fully understand???. that people entrusted to public office to carry out out the wishes of their civilian constituents- are supposed to be duty bound to protect us but in fact are going out of their way to intentionally brutalize uswhile all over the US police thugs are (when not outright killing us) throwing us to the ground painfully jamming their jack boots viciously on our necks .as has been taught to these knuckle-dragger Kontrol Freaks by taxpayer funded junkets for US Police Chiefs to fly round trip to Israhell . then wined dined. then trained ergo inculcated by the Mossad- in heavy-handed tactics. just like they treat the Palestinians.all this for the eventual GAZIFICATION of Mom Pop USA.you dont have to be psychic to know whats coming next.(imo) Scary. The Hitler Card was played. Little Hitler is hardly playing the Hitler Card. Unless, of course, you happen to be Hitler. Well said! Theres a lot of money to be made from the private prison industry. Well, I hope they are ready to address the HUSSEIN obama muslim islamic terrorists that are being imported into America and routed to Boise. Boise Mayor David Bieter has welcomed the (refugees) otherwise known as muslim islamic terrorists into the Boise, Meridian area. Maybe a retraining program is upcoming for the locals so they can be replaced by the NWO Amerikans. But its FAR more than a takedown of America. Its a takedown of Western Civilization; THE 300 writ larger, to do what the Persians left undone at Thermopylae. This is happening all over the USA. And DAs are trying to falsely charge anyone that tells, and if they cant find one thing on you, they look for another. Its government blackmail all over the map and they have been doing this to me for telling about a judge that dismissed a $4.5 million dollar law suit that I won by default on the other side and instead of issuing a ruling, he dismissed it, and then they invented false charges to try to force me to take it off my youtube channel. They have come after me with other sets of false charges, and the governement has not stopped spending money trying to frame me. While all of them have committed crimes themselves to get me, including the DA, (she has been turned in for 88 counts of prosecutorial misconduct and she still wont do her job or drop the false charges against me that dont meet the statute. you have to keep fighting them, and even though I moved 9 months ago, they are still attempting to try to give me a record. They have cost me everything, stolen all of the victories that I won by the law, and they still wont stop. Its truly insane, and we have to tell, and tell it some more because if they continue to get away with it, we will wake up one day and not be able to speak about fresh air and sunshine. They have to attack you to protect their racket, there is not enough court time to process all the extortion they do, so they want to use fear to prevent others from showing up to contest instead of just sending a check. Havent seen a poor judge yet. yes most of the judges are the biggest part of the problem, so corrupt, and so bias they are beyond fathom in what they do to people. I am so glad people are talking about it, its the only way to call them out and make change. Sorry youre on the receiving end of this is a dystopian criminal intent thats ironically ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE LAWmay these satanic minion SOBs get whats coming to them when they eventually stand naked in front of their maker.this is all copy cay misanthropy direct from the top of the pyramid cap.rotten to the core the bloodline vampire reptilian Banksters are directly responsible (imo) I know and if you have a brain, are honest and tell what they are doing, they go after you more, but its still the right thing to do. If we all sit back because they bully and let them ruin our lives in private, what happens is that it gets worse. I continued to tell, and fight them, until they all committed so many crimes themselves that it is laughable to go after me who has never committed a crime and just wanted justice for myself. I wish it wasnt true, but only certain people are strong enough to survive it and keep going, I just be one of those, and karma has already gotten rid of one judge, they threw him off the bench, and there are a few more likely to lose this war with themselves. I just wish I knew how to fight for the money I did win, but in reality if they paid out that judgement I would likely be 6 feet under by now. Sad but so real. Yep. What goes around will eventually come around. Now thats a natural law of the universe that always wins. I wonder if the satanic minion realise that? Disgraceful! Its not much better here in Australia i promise you. So many laws and rules everyone is a breath away from breaking the law in some capacity. But, very few people seem to see it! Law? Ha! The law is not there to protect us thats for sure, Natasha. Your experience must be so stressing too! Yes its so stressful, sad and days are impossible, but when you continue to take your stand and they cant hide behind how much they have done, (putting it all on social media has saved me) and you just keep staying true to who you are, and letting them look foolish. I have moved away for close to a year and they are still chasing me. And its going to come to an end soon, and I will be telling the whole story to help others and save others. It is long past time for prosecutors like this one to be pounding the pavement looking for work! the prosecutor in my state commits more crimes than a bank robber, and shes even been written up on the Boston Globe, and I turned her in for 88 counts of prosecutorial misconduct, and working on getting her fired. She is truly a nutcase, and no one has stood up to her. Have you tried the media? Sounds like a good 60 minutes story to me. Yes I am getting ready to tell the story its something we have to wake up the world about, because they are so out of control in places and trying people like this man without due process, and trying to do it to me, and as horrible as it is real, if we dont stop them, its going to become normal. I will never be able to process what they have done, but at the end of the day, I will recover, they will remain sociopaths, and criminals for going so far to try to give a lawful honest non criminal citizen a phony record for telling the truth. And if we dont make it as real and awful as that, our younger generation will never stand a chance at living in a right world. They are still trying to give me this false record and run 3 separate trials in order to try to have 1 thing stick and its getting to the time where I go more and more public in order to make them stop. Thank you so much for your comment and support. Take care good luckcheers In our broken judicial system, DAs are not prosecuting the criminal acts that are commmitted by Judges, Clerks, and corrupt cops. They are ignoring all the crimes that are comiitted by people that work in courts, law, and police stations, but going after anyone that wants to tell about it. This is the sad reality of the beginning of a dictatorship. My advice is to keep telling on them, Social media is a higher platform and a place that they have to answer to. If we go silent, then huma rights as well as civil rights and the 1st amendment disappear. Sad reality. He shouldnt of started the fight if he didnt plan on finishing it. Yes it was a crooked DA. but dont piss on a fire with a can of gas in your hands. F T P Rule #1 for social media. Never use your real identity. Heck! The President of the United States doesnt even go by his birth name. And yet Hillary still walks free. Wonder if they plan to wait till she is elected to arrest her She would be immune until she leaves office through end of term or impeachment. typical overcompensation by someone with a small penis room temperature IQsad . hilarious at the same time. Gosh, eddy, did my photoshop prowess cause you immense envy? Sure sounds that way. Now if you had a clue about what Hitler did and was really about (other than what your Rabbi has scared you with), I might waste more time with you, but it is apparent that you are either shilling or a moron. Again, everybody, do a search for and read The Scam of the Legal System and share it with everybody that you know! 
2	BREAKING: Martial Law Preparations Underway Brace Yourself For What Is About To Happen [VIDEO] Over the past few years, the government has quickly been losing the support of the American people, especially as the current administration continues to act more like a dictatorship than a democracy. Now, some believe that the government is already prepared for a civil uprising. Some reports indicate that the government has created mock towns for the purposes of training for such an incident. A recent video was just released discussing the town that was used for such preparations, and also references several suspicious events that could have some major implications. For instance, numerous bankers in the town were reported to have commit suicide, but some argue that potential whistleblowers were actually silenced by the government. Questions are also being raised regarding the fact that over 40 Senators and Representatives took an early retirement. The video begs the question: What do these Congress men and women know that WE dont know? Watch the footage below and tell us what you think. 
3	Under the radar: prestigious mainstream editor torpedoed the FDAJon Rappoport It was titled, Talking Back to the FDA (February 26, 2007). In his book, Medication Madness, Dr. Peter Breggin quotes Angells article: The FDA also refuses to release unfavorable research results in its possession without the sponsoring companys permissionIts no wonder that serious safety concerns about drugs such as Vioxx, Paxil, and Zyprexa have emerged very late in the dayyears after they were in widespread use. Serious safety concerns? Heart attacks, strokes, suicide and homicide, etc. Whats this ongoing bureaucratic insanity Marcia Angell is referring to? The drug companies do the human studies on new drugs before they are submitted to the FDA, who then decides whether to approve the drugs for public consumption. The FDA examines these studies. But here is the catch. A drug company might submit four studies on a new drug to the FDA. The FDA might choose to render a favorable decision based on two studies. Now, somebody like Angell, while she was editing the New England Journal, would approach the FDA and say, We want to see all the study-data you have on this new drug. Not just the most positive findings. Those are the human clinical trials that reveal heart attacks, strokes, and deaths are quite real results for people taking the drug. The FDA, tasked with protecting the public, says no. No, you cant see the data. Angells column in the Boston Globe was a blockbuster. It should have provoked action from the Department of Justice. After all, people having strokes and dyingand the drug companies and the FDA concealing thisif that isnt a crime, what is? But no. Angells revelation goes nowhere. Its published and it sinks like a stone. And people think, Well, I guess there really isnt a problem. If it were serious, the government would have done something about it. Wrong. The government isnt in the business of sending pharmaceutical executives and FDA bureaucrats to jail. A drug company might have to pay a hefty fine and promise to behave, but the profits from the killer drug are already in the bank. Pay a fine of $2 billion? Chump change, when the drug already made $20 billion in sales. So, as Angell reveals, we have a hidden definition of pharmaceutical science: Conceal the dangers, get the drug on the market, ignore the human destruction, and at worst pay a fine. The FDA hiding and burying the truth about medical drugs? This helps explain how, in the US, every year, 106,000 people die as a direct result of ingesting FDA-approved medicines. Yes, 106,000. See Is US health really the best in the world?, Dr. Barbara Starfield, Journal of the American Medical Association, July 26, 2000. Her statistics were a conservative estimate. In one of the last interviews (2009) she did before she died, Dr. Starfield told me as much. She remarked that later studies reported higher death rates from the effects of the American medical system. This is the FDA at work. This is the federal agency whose wet dream is limiting peoples access to nutritional supplements, which cause virtually no deaths.

1	According to a report released Monday, everything you have ever wantedand, indeed, dreamed ofhas been right in front of you all along. If you would just open your eyes, you would see that the woman of your dreamsthe sort of girl who could make you happy in ways no other woman ever couldhas been right under your nose for years, the report read in part, adding that if you took just one second to think about it, you would realize that shes perfect for you. The evidence is all there: Shes been crazy about you since the day you met, yet somehow youve constantly overlooked her. But most significantly, she wont be around forever, so youll just have to step up now if you finally want to understand the real meaning of love. The report went on to recommend that you just kiss her already. 
1	Based on the posture and facial expressions of those around you, incoming reports indicate that this is apparently the point in the conversation where you should be smiling and letting out a friendly chuckle. Sources with direct knowledge of the situation confirmed that, given all available evidence, now would also be an appropriate time for you to make eye contact with the person speaking, grin slightly, and say either the word yeah or mm-hmm. Furthermore, because visual accounts suggest that the other people in the room seem to be in agreement about whats being discussed, it would reportedly benefit you to nod your head once or twice so as not to stand out from the rest of the group and draw attention to yourself. As of press time, late-breaking developments in group members demeanor had confirmed that it was safe to resume not paying any attention at all. 
2	BREAKING: Obamas Lawyer Breaks His Silence To The Supreme Court His Time As President Is Over President Obamas federal lawyer Donald Verrilli caused some serious outrage after her appearing before the Supreme Court on Tuesday. According to reports, Verrilli threatened by the Supreme Court by saying that if they rule in favor of gay marriage, religious institutions would lose their tax exempt status. Justice Samuel Alito reportedly asked Verrilli if schools that support the traditional definition of marriage would have to be treated like schools that once opposed interracial marriage. Verrilli responded that he did see this being a potential issue in the future. There is no federal law now generally banning discrimination based on sexual orientation, and thats where those issues are going to have to be worked out, Verrilli continued. What do you think? Will the Supreme Courts ruling on gay marriage have a serious impact on Christian institutions? 
2	This Country Legend Broke Gender Barriers, But What She Did Right Before She PassedI Cant Believe It Kitty Wells (Ellen Muriel Deason) was born in 1919 and passed away at age 92 in 2012. Kitty Wells was on of the first country singers to break the female barrier in 1952. The song that did it was It Wasnt God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels. This song also made her the first female country singer to top the US country charts. She had many more top 10 hits throughout the 1960s. Wells is consistently voted as a top 10 country female artist of all-time. She was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1976. In 1991 she received the Grammy Lifetime achievement Award. She is called the Queen of Country Music. She definitely deserves the title, and to be honored in any way possible. Kitty Wells was truly amazing, and revolutionized country music for female artists. Ten years before her passing Kitty and her husband opened up the Family Country Junction Museum and Studio. They began recording their own music, and even got some younger folks to come and record. The couple announced their official retirement in 2000 when Kitty performed for the last time. The recording studio lives on today and is run by Kittys son. Her music is part of the Library of Congress Recording Registry, and she will live on forever. Did you love Kitty? 
3	Marijuana Legalization Initiative Filed in MontanaPhillip Smith The constitutional initiative is proposed by East Helena medical marijuana advocate Barb Trego and lists as contact person Chris Lindsay, former partner in Montana Cannabis and now a convicted federal marijuana offender for his efforts. The language of the 2014 initiative is not yet on file with the secretary of states office, but it is said to mirror this years failedCI-110, which would have amended the state constitution so that adults have the right to responsibly purchase, consume, produce, and possess marijuana, subject to reasonable limitations, regulations, and taxation. Except for actions that endanger minors, children, or public safety, no criminal offense or penalty of this state shall apply to such activities. This next time around, organizers will have the benefit of more time. They will also have the benefit of the examples of successful legalization initiatives this year in Colorado and Washington.

3	Are Smart Meters As Bad as Flint, Michigans Leaded Water?By Catherine J. Frompovich That concern has not stopped with ordinary citizens. Philadelphia leaders also got involved and showed their support. [1] PA State Representative Vanessa Lowery Brown is on record as saying, Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, recalling the words of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. However, Minister Rodney Muhammad probably sized up the Flint water crises more accurately when he said, This is not a government mishap. This is a crime. [1] Muhammad inferred that yellow crime tape should be strung around the perimeter of Flint city! Councilwoman Helen Gym said the Philadelphia City Council is joining in the national outcry for the Department of Justice to conduct an investigation. What happened in Flint was not an environmental problem, it was a man-made crisis and man-made crime. [1] Lets take that last statement just a bit further and apply it to all the issues citizens have to suffer with and from due to man-made crimes, especially AMI Smart Meters that are forced on everyone and their homes under the guise of saving consumers money. To do that, however, consumers will have to use electricitya necessity of modern lifeduring off-peak hours like 2 AM maybe. Who wants to do laundry, run the dishwasher, or watch their favorite TV show at 2 or 3 AM, day after day in order to save money of their electric bill? Or, maybe the utility company will send a brown out or shut off message via the AMI Smart Meter into your house and appliances so you will have forced savings by experiencing no electric power nor working appliances, including air conditioners in summer. Saving money is always the bugaboo involved, as it was in the Flint water debacle. Officials and public relations people know that saving money always sells any idea or project, no matter how off the wall it truly isjust like nuclear power was to be so cheap [6], you wouldnt need a meter on your house. Whats your recent electric bill like? The meme or buzz word rather recently minted is smart. Flint city officials wanted to save money so they switched Flints water supply [2] from Lake Huron [3] to the Flint River [4], which jokingly has been called General Motors sewer! [1,5] Smart? Maybe everyone should regard the Flint, Michigan, water crisis as a canary in the coal mine harbinger that, hopefully, drives home the fact that citizens really have no say, but must payliterally and figurativelyfor the problems government agencies, bureaucrats, officials and legislatures/legislators saddle on to the legal, financial and emotional backs of people, plus the Planet and environment. Anyone whos done their due diligence, research, homework and found out what officials dont want known, or contradicts vested money-interests like the pharmaceutical industry, are considered conspiracy theorists and smeared to the hilt with all sorts of ad hominem remarks and professional dirty trickssometimes even an early demise, or so it seems. How many conspiracy theorists were there in Flint, I wonder, before the muck hit the fan? Similar neurological health problems to lead (Pb) unfortunately are brewing nationwide with the forced installation of AMI Smart Meters microwaves and dirty electricity, which utility companies, states public utility commissions, the media and industry astroturfers deny exist. There is more than ample medical and microwave information published challenging business, industry and government agencies to sit up and take notice, then listen to what citizens are complaining about: Non-thermal adverse health effects from microwave technology that operates cell phones and towers, Wi-Fi (especially in schools harming children and teachers [9]), microwave ovens, and mandatory utility AMI Smart Meters for electric, natural gas and water customers to interact with the Internet of Things that is planned to take over our lives [7]. What happens when the entire country similarly faces Flints horrible position concerning water, but it involves electricitytheres no electric power because some terrorist or high-school hacker took down the grid? Safety issues exist with AMI Smart Meters: Their microwave network is extremely porous and meters can be hacked. They are not constructed with safe materials like the analog meters were: glass and metal parts. There are heat-sensitive and combustible plastic parts in AMI Smart Meters. Numerous house fires are on record as being started by AMI Smart Meters. Coincidentally, Michigan Stop Smart Meters reports Risk of Fire! [8] EMF Safety Network has a webpage Fires and explosions Stop Smart Meters UKs webpage WARNING: Smart Meter Fire Risks Refuse Smart Meters! Stop Smart Meters Australias webpage Can smart meters cause house fires? EMF Safety Networks webpage Smart Meter Fires and Explosions Take Back Your Powers webpage 1000s of smart meter fires: New whistleblower and court evidence (video) Smart Meters Fire, Living Hell And Bureaucratic Messes There are plenty more, but I have to stop somewhere. Even though theres a risk of your house catching fire from AMI Smart Meters, that risk is nothing compared with the almost certain adverse health effects from microwave EMFs and RFs being sent onto the electric wiring in your home, condo or apartment. Flints unfortunate and disastrous water problems may wind up looking like a piker compared with the damages from AMI Smart Meters, I offer.

Who wants to do laundry, run the dishwasher, or watch their favorite TV show at 2 or 3 AM, day after day in order to save money of their electric bill? When an author must lie to make his point, he fails. Off peak hours, in California, are from 9:30 pm to 8:30 am, so you can do your laundry at 7:30,not 2 am. There are also partial peak cheaper rates from 8:30 to noon and 6 to 9:30 pmthis is summer. In the winter, off peak is 9:30 pm to 8:30 am, and the rest of the day is partial peak. TV hardly uses any electricity at all so that is a red herring. If you want to save money, do your laundry at 7:30 in the morning, and dont use a dishwasher. Suggesting that consumers will have to use electricity in the middle of the night is a lie. I hate liars. Socio/psychopath politicians intentionally inflicting depraved indifference ..malice of forethoughtreckless endangermentassault causing bodily harm etc etc ultimately a demo/genocidal Crime Against Humanitytorches pitchfork time. The answer is Yes. The reasons are self-evident. But it is good to spell it out to the sleeping corpse of humanity, just in case a nerve fiber or two is paying attention. You know you got it right when youre attacked with sheer b.s.. ruff ruff ;] Monsanto loves smart meters. In fact, I suspect smart meters are a Monsanto ploy to divert attention from GMOs. Get smart people like the meters get it? Humanity has been living in an ocean of EMF for almost 100 years and during that time life span has increased. GMOs are a real danger and threat proven to be so; EMF no so, unless you stick you head into a microwave and turn it on. You have no idea what youre writing about. Educate yourself. Start by searching scientific papers with keywords such as chronic low-level microwave radiation. So I tried really not much on that topic, and certainly nothing relevant to smart meters. On the scale of big issues humanity faces, like Fukushima, GMOs, forced vaccination smart meters dont even register. No one has ever died from smart meters cant say the same for issues listed. So if you need a crusade of some type, pick one that will have tangible positive effects for humanity; not something that makes you look like a luddite fool. A smartmeter is a cell tower on the side of your house that doesnt take phone calls. Extremely handy for mind control operations. 
1	With 22 seconds remaining in the first half of Fridays Louisville-Oregon Sweet 16 matchup, CBS color commentator Clark Kellogg has reportedly mentioned the three-second differential between the shot clock and game clock approximately 86 times during a full timeout called by the Cardinals. I just want to remind the audience at home that the shot clock and game clock are off by about three seconds, said Kellogg for the 42nd time during the timeout, moments before observing that the shot clock and game clock were off by about three seconds. The Cardinals have to be thinking about how the shot clock and game clock are off by about three seconds. The fact that the shot clock and game clock are off by about three seconds has to be on the minds of the Ducks, too. At press time, Louisville guard Peyton Siva had just received the inbound pass as Kellogg began re-emphasizing the implications of the shot clock and the game clock being off by about three seconds. 
3	Syrians: NATO-backed Militants Seen Donning Gas MasksReports of Libyan chemical weapons brought in through Turkey, caches discovered in Damascus point to possible false flag. For a Western media so fond of reporting activist accounts, rumors, and even fabrications, and with all the talk of an impending massacre in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo, reports of so-called Free Syrian Army militants seen trying on gas masks, along with reports of Libyan chemical weapon caches equipment being discovered in Damascus is surely headline news. Many Syrians and outside observers alike, fear that militants may deploy chemical weapons in one or more locations around Syria, creating a mass-casualty event to subsequently be blamed on the government by a coordinated Western media disinformation campaign. The so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA) has already been conducting strings of devastating, indiscriminate mass-casualty bombings across the country, as reported by Reuters, Outgunned Syria rebels make shift to bombs. Libyan weapons, cash, and fighters have also all been confirmed to have made it into Syria in an effort to undermine, divide and destroy Syria. There is something being planned to send weapons and even Libyan fighters to Syria, said a Libyan source, speaking on condition of anonymity. There is a military intervention on the way. Within a few weeks you will see. The Telegraph has also learned that preliminary discussions about arms supplies took place when members of the Syrian National Council [SNC] the countrys main opposition movement visited Libya earlier this month. Albawaba reported in its article, Libyan fighters join free Syrian army forces, that: Libyan sources conveyed in recent days that 600 rebel fighters have already gone from Libya to Syria in order to support the Syrian opposition. Albawabas report would later be confirmed by multiple Western media representatives now on the ground in Aleppo, Syria, including CNN which reported: Meanwhile, residents of the village where the Syrian Falcons were headquartered said there were fighters of several North African nationalities also serving with the brigades ranks. A volunteer Libyan fighter has also told CNN he intends to travel from Turkey to Syria within days to add a platoon of Libyan fighters to armed movement. CNN also added: On Wednesday, CNNs crew met a Libyan fighter who had crossed into Syria from Turkey with four other Libyans. The fighter wore full camouflage and was carrying a Kalashnikov rifle. He said more Libyan fighters were on the way. The foreign fighters, some of them are clearly drawn because they see this as a jihad. So this is a magnet for jihadists who see this as a fight for Sunni Muslims.Clearly Libyan terrorists and their weapons have made it into Syria with the explicit backing of NATOs recently installed client Libyan regime. The London Guardian had reported that Libya possessed some 25 metric tonnes of bulk mustard agent and 1,400 metric tonnes of precursor chemical used to make chemical weapons. The Guardian also reported: The abandonment or disappearance of some Gaddafi-era weapons has prompted concerns that such firepower could erode regional security if it falls into the hands of Islamist militants or rebels active in north Africa.Clearly those Islamist militants as well as rebels active in north Africa are now on the ground in Syria. These militants bringing pilfered chemical weapons with them is entirely plausible, as is the possibility that these weapons were purposefully placed into their hands by either NATO or Libyas current ruling regime. This very scenario was warned against last month in an article published by Russia Today titled, Syrian rebels aim to use chemical weapons, blame Damascus report. Why Isnt the Western Media Investigating These Claims? It should be remembered a single tweet from BBCs Ian Pannell in Aleppo claiming fighter jets have bombed eastern Aleppo, triggered media hysteria. Pannell would expand on his earlier, unconfirmed, unsubstantiated claim by declaring, what appeared to be Russian-made MiG planes arced through the sky. We watched as they dropped in, bombing and strafing rebel positions. It would later turn out that the planes Pannell observed were not MiG planes, where not Russian-made, and were not even bombing rebel positions. They were trainer planes carrying out reconnaissance and at most, deploying gun-fire on rebel trucks mounted with heavy weapons. If one tweet is worth 3 news cycles, even when the report was both difficult to believe at face-value, and quickly turned out to be a fabrication why isnt the Western media covering pictures and witness accounts of FSA militants apparently preparing to deploy chemical weapons inside and around Syrias major cities? The answer is simple, reporting bombers that dont exist allowed the White House to claim, the Syrian governments assault on the city of Aleppo with tanks and airplanes illustrates the depth of depravity by the regime of President Bashar Assad. Similarly, by allowing claims of FSA militants preparing to deploy chemical weapons to go unreported, affords the West an opportunity to then blame the mass-casualty event that may follow on the Syrian government, thus providing an attractive opportunity for militarily intervene. That the media and governments of the West have not publicly looked into recent claims that the FSA is contemplating a false flag, weapons of mass destruction attack, makes them complicit should such an attack unfold. It will also make it all but impossible for the US to attempt to blame Libya and Al Qaeda alone if their dark deed is carried out, but subsequently exposed.

3	The Federal Reserve Is Not Going To Save Us From The Great Depression That Is ComingMichael Snyder, Contributor Now, it is important to keep in mind that Federal Reserve forecasts are almost always way too optimistic. The actual numbers almost always end up being much worse than what the Fed says they will be. So if Bernanke is saying that the U.S. unemployment rate will be 7 percent or higher until the end of 2014, then what will the real numbers end up looking like? During his testimony, Bernanke seemed unusually gloomy about the direction of the U.S. economy. He seemed resigned to the fact that there really isnt that much more that the Federal Reserve can do to stimulate the U.S. economy. Yes, the Federal Reserve could try another round of quantitative easing, but the first two rounds did not really do that much to help. The truth is that the United States is absolutely drowning in debt, and when that debt bubble finally bursts the Federal Reserve is simply not going to be able to save us from the Great Depression that will happen as a result. At this point, Bernanke appears to be in c-ya mode. For example, the following is from Bernankes prepared remarks to Congress on Tuesday. The second important risk to our recovery, as I mentioned, is the domestic fiscal situation. As is well known, U.S. fiscal policies are on an unsustainable path, and the development of a credible medium-term plan for controlling deficits should be a high priority. At the same time, fiscal decisions should take into account the fragility of the recovery. That recovery could be endangered by the confluence of tax increases and spending reductions that will take effect early next year if no legislative action is taken. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that, if the full range of tax increases and spending cuts were allowed to take effecta scenario widely referred to as the fiscal cliffa shallow recession would occur early next year and about 1-1/4 million fewer jobs would be created in 2013. These estimates do not incorporate the additional negative effects likely to result from public uncertainty about how these matters will be resolved. As you recall, market volatility spiked and confidence fell last summer, in part as a result of the protracted debate about the necessary increase in the debt ceiling. Similar effects could ensue as the debt ceiling and other difficult fiscal issues come into clearer view toward the end of this year. The most effective way that the Congress could help to support the economy right now would be to work to address the nations fiscal challenges in a way that takes into account both the need for long-run sustainability and the fragility of the recovery. Doing so earlier rather than later would help reduce uncertainty and boost household and business confidence. Did you catch that? Bernanke says that the federal government is on an unsustainable path and must reduce debt, but he also says that the economy cannot afford tax increases and spending cuts right now. In fact, Bernanke is warning that a shallow recession would occur early next year if something is not done about the looming fiscal cliff that so many people are talking about. So what does Bernanke want us to do? If we continue on the path that we are on, our debt will continue to grow by leaps and bounds.But if we seriously cut spending or raise taxes, that will significantly slow down the economy. Either path leads to a whole lot of pain. Bernanke sounds like a politician that is trying to cover all of his bases without giving us a recommendation about how to fix things. Of course the truth is that the Federal Reserve system itself is at the very heart of our economic problems and has been the engine that has caused our national debt to explode at an exponential rate, but we all know that Bernanke will never admit that. Bernanke can see that things are starting to fall apart, and he wants to shift as much blame to Congress and to other entities as he can while there is still time. Bernanke knows that the U.S. economy is not going to produce enough jobs for our population anymore, and he does not want to be blamed for that. Bernanke knows that the money printing done by the Fed is going to cause prices to continue to go up and that this will seriously stretch family budgets all over America, and he does not want to be blamed for that. Bernanke wants to come out of all this looking like a good guy. At this point he is probably hoping that the next great global financial crisis does not happen until his term ends. Unfortunately, he is not going to have that luxury. The next wave of the economic collapse is rapidly approaching, and it is going to hit the U.S. even harder than the last recession did. And when the unemployment rate soars well up into the double digits, what do you think is going to happen? The truth is that the entire country will soon resemble cities such as Gary, Indiana and Flint, Michigan.To get an idea of what most of our cites will soon look like, just check out this video.When people lose hope, they tend to get desperate.And desperate people do desperate things.Just look at the mob robberies that we are seeing all over the country right now. In Jacksonville, Florida the other day, hundreds of young people that had just left a massive house party that police had broken up decided that they would descend on the local Wal-Mart. According to police, approximately 300 people stormed into Wal-Mart and started going crazy. They threw produce at each other, many of them started putting merchandise into their pockets, they destroyed an anti-shoplifting security scanner that is worth about $1,500 and there were even reports that shots were fired outside of the store.It was absolute chaos. You can see video of this incident right here. A similar mob robbery happened in the Portland, Oregon area on Saturday night. A group of teens targeted a Troutdale store last weekend in a flash rob and investigators are trying to identify the suspects. Investigators said as many as 40 kids entered the Albertsons store at 25691 SE Stark Street at the same time late Saturday night and started stealing things. Security officers chased the thieves out, but no one was captured. They also left employees pretty shaken up, including one woman who was in tears after getting terrorized by the robbers. So will Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve be able to save us from this kind of chaos?Of course not.If you have any faith in Bernanke at this point then you are being quite foolish. Our economy is on the verge of collapse, and when it does collapse there is going to be hell to pay on the streets of America. These days young people seem to commit absolutely brutal crimes just for the fun of it. For example, in Chicago the other day, for no reason whatsoevertwo teens beat to death a 62-year-old disabled man who was collecting cans. The following is from a report about this incident from the NBC affiliate in Chicago. Police said a 16-year-old gang member punched Delfino Mora, father to 12 children and a grandfather to 23, last Tuesday in an alley in the 6300 block of North Artesian. Moras devastated family told NBC Chicago that Mora was on his regular route of collecting cans that he sells for cash when the teens confronted him. Nicholas Ayala, 17, of the 6300 block of North Talman and Anthony Malcolm, 18, of the 5500 block of North Broadway were both charged with first-degree murder and robbery. Malik Jones, 16, the Latin Kings member accused of striking Mora, was charged with first-degree murder and ordered held without bail Sunday by Judge Adam Bourgeois. Police said Jones handed his friends his cell phone to start filming then demanded money from Mora and punched him in the jaw. Ayala and Malcolm are accused of taking turns filming the video which allegedly showed Moras head smashing into the concrete. But just because you arent in the city does not mean that you are safe. For example, just check out what happened to three rural Michigan teens when they decided that it would be fun to hop on a passing train. The following is from a recent article in the New York Times. For generations of Midwestern youths who have grown up hearing the long whistles and deep rumbling of passing locomotives, hopping a freight train to another city has seemed like a free ride to adventure. But for three rural Michigan teen-agers who actually followed this dream, the results proved disastrous. The two 15-year-old boys and a 14-year-old girl climbed off the train when it stopped last Wednesday evening in a rough neighborhood here. Within hours, the girl had suffered multiple sexual assaults and all three had been shot in the head and left for dead in a park. One boy, Michael Carter, was killed, while the other, Dustin Kaiser, and the girl staggered to a road and flagged down a truck driver. Dustin is in stable condition at the Hurley Medical Center after two rounds of surgery, while the girl, who was shot through the cheek, was treated and released on Friday, said Donna J. Fonger, a hospital administrator. Our country is degenerating, and the Federal Reserve is not going to save you. We have been living in the greatest debt bubble in the history of the planet, and it is going to burst at some point and that is going to cause a massive economic depression. Just check out what Richard Duncan, the author of The New Depression, told CNBC the other day. When we broke the link between money and gold forty years ago, this removed all the constraints on credit creation. And afterwards credit absolutely exploded. In the U.S. it grew from $1 trillion to $50 trillion a fifty-fold increase in forty three years. This explosion of credit created the world we live. It created very rapid economic growth. It ushered in the age of globalization. But it now seems credit cannot expand any further because the private sector is incapable of repaying the debt that it has already. And if credit now begins to contract there is a very real danger that we will collapse into a new great depression. In the chart posted below you can see what he is talking about. Once upon a time the total amount of debt in the United States (including government debt, business debt and consumer debt) was sitting at about a trillion dollars. Today, it has nearly reached 55 trillion dollars. We have lived way above our means for decades, and now a day of reckoning is rapidly approaching. Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve may be able to delay the coming depression slightly, but they cannot avert it. You better get ready.

3	FEMA Investigators Shock 9/11 Claim: Vault Contents Emptied Before Attack They Knew It Was Going To HappenBy Mac Slavo Were the hijackers operatives for a Western intelligence service? How did a passport from one of the terrorists survive completely unscathed, only to be found later amidst the rubble of the Trade Centers? How did WTC Building 7 collapse even though it was never struck by an airplane?Why was President George H.W. Bush meeting with members of the Bin Laden family at the very moment of the attacks? Were the planes that hit the buildings actually commercial airliners or were they remotely operated drones? Why was the entirety of Ground Zero quickly sanitizedand shipped to China for recycling before any investigation ever took place? And, what are the odds that on the very day terrorists used planes to attack the Pentagon and World Trade Centers, the U.S. military was holding exercises simulating hijackers crashing planes into buildings, a circumstance that led to total confusion across the United States and a completefailure of national defense? These questions and thousands more have been the subject of fervent debate for over a decade, and like the Kennedy assassination, may never have an official answer. But just as has been the case with the investigation of JFKs murder, new details and evidence continue to emerge surrounding the events of that day. In a shocking report published by The Sun, former Federal Emergency Management Agency employeeKurt Sonnenfeld says he has evidence proving that certain insiders were privy to the attacks, perhaps even including President George W. Bush. Kurt Sonnenfeld was working for the US Federal Emergency Management Agency, an organisation tied to the US Department of Homeland Security, when the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center took place. Armed with camera gear, the 39-year-old was asked to film everything he saw. His documented evidence was supposed to form part of a report about what happened but he never handed back the footage. He says they want to silence him over what he saw beneath World Trade Center 6, evidence he is convinced paints the Bush Administration as big players in the deadliest attack on American soil. Sporting bleached blond hair, Kurt wove his way through the rubble of Manhattans downtown financial district. He shot hours of footage but never handed it in. Of particular interest was what he found beneath World Trade Center 6. He says inside the building he came across a vault that had been cleared of its contents before the planes struck. In a documentary filmed in Argentina, Kurt said the discovery is proof that America knew the attacks were coming, at the very least. One thing Im certain of is that agencies of intelligence of the United States of America knew what was going to happen and at least let it happen, he said. Not only did they know it was going to happen, but they in fact collaborated. It is given weight by a similar discovery on a basement door below World Trade Center 4. According to a New York Times article, the door to a vault was still intact but it appeared as if somebody had tried to gain entry. Behind the vault door were nearly a thousand tonnes of silver and gold. According to 911 Research, the vault under WTC 4was reportedly owned by COMEX: Reports describing the contents of the vaults before the attack suggest that nearly $1 billion in precious metals was stored in the vaults. A figure of $650 million in a National Real Estate Investor article published after the attack is apparently based on pre-attack reports. Unknown to most people at the time, $650 million in gold and silver was being kept in a special vault four floors beneath Four World Trade Center. An article in the TimesOnline gives the following rundown of precious metals that were being stored in the WTC vault belonging to Comex. It is of note to mention thatSonnenfelds wife died under mysterious circumstances shortly after he carried out his investigation. The cause of death? A bullet to the back of the head. Sonnenfeld was charged with the murder but those charges were eventually dropped, at which point he fled to Argentina.He has since remarried and had two children. The U.S. Department of Justice is now attempting to extraditeSonnenfeld back to the United States where he is once again being charged with his wifes murder. ButSonnenfeld says that the reasons behind the U.S. governments push to bring him back to America are more nefarious than they are letting on, alluding to his intimate knowledge of the 9-11 Ground Zero crime scene as a potential reason for takinghim into custody. We know for a fact that gold was being stored under Trade Center 4. Perhaps similar riches were being stored under WTC 6. That the vault was completely empty whenSonnenfeld carried out his investigation certainly suggests foreknowledgeby highly placed insiders.

There is no doubt whatsoever about what happened on 9/11. Americas intelligence agencies ritually threaded those attacks years beforehand through their collusively-produced Hollywood films. Defence Secretary Cohen didnt award Steven Spielberg for nothing, although I focus on a film with which I have great familiarity the 1998 Enemy Of The State. I can provide three of the residential addresses from which film scenes were drawn. One of them (Woodlawn) becam the title of a more recent Jon Voight film. In the 1998 film, his NSA character was born on 9/11. The United States is run and is influenced by some of historys greatest thieves, traitors, and murderers. And last but certainly not least liars. Because they are psychopaths. Most of you are not thinking large enough like they do. If you want hope and change, it will either come by some sort of might spiritual revival/event, or it will come through the barrel of guns, because the system is hopelessly defiled. Wow. perfectly said, thanks! Thats why I put so much hope in Bernie Sanders; he is not them. I guess not enough other people can see it ~ or they just dont want to. Thank you for your comments, but its more than an insightful post. It is written from the relevant experience of being a person of interest to this Government. Too many citizens have been willing overtly, or by indifference and naivete to throw their fellow citizens to the wolves of Government, not knowing the way the system workd, so that they are also throwing their own futures to the same ravenous pack of wolves. You just dont know who or what you are dealing with. These web forums will not change a thing. Whole churches and denominations should be on their knees 24/7 pleading for God to move here. Otherwise, I see only profound historic violence ahead. In that case, they are getting historically armed, and I suggest that citizens do the same. Zellikow made sure the 911 official version didnt spread any manure toward the potus. Lets not forget the dancing Israelis. And Lucky Larry didnt go to work in WTC that day +he received $billions insurance money Judging from the posts, there must be a full moon out tonight. Dont forget the firemen found a 6 wheel shortbed dump truck loaded with gold bars trapped in the under ground tunnels, the FBI took over and *poof* no more truck. . and then I witnessed both towers collapse. mostly due to structural failure because the fire was just too intense. And as Simon Shack rightly points out in his excellent September Clues video, who on earth talks like that in a supposedly spontaneous interview? Not forgetting the copy of The Koran and a complete manual on How to fly a huge jet passenger airplane in just a few lessons conveniently allegedly left in the hijackers car at the airport! Anyone who still believes this infantile crap is beyond brain dead! (But unfortunately the majority still are). Good call. Please dont confuse my comfortable world view with physics demonstrations making controlled demolition on 9/11 seem obvious. The attacks of September 11th, 2001 will forever be mired in doubt. says who? We know exactly who did it. I noticed you did not mention israeli MOSSAD who was arrested on the day. Why is that? Slip your mind? Never heard about it? israelis in their hundreds were spying in the US. One operation had a cover of a moving van company. Those using the moving vans were arrested. They were in disguise as Palestinians. Their vans had transported explosives according to sniffer dogs. Other vans were exploded as truck bombs. Yes they were exploded and yes israelis did that. They also positioned another truck bomb under the George Washington Bridge. Those attempting to blow the bridge were arrested and the truck taken into police custody. Another group of israeli spies had a cover as art students. They were given a room to work from in the WTC. There are photos of these terrorists surrounded by a great many boxes of explosive fuses. And it goes on but the US government never pursued it. Instead they attached targets in the Middle East which The quote below sounds like the gold was still in the vault when the jimmied door was filmed: According to a New York Times article, the door to a vault was still intact but it appeared as if somebody had tried to gain entry. Behind the vault door were nearly a thousand tonnes of silver and gold. If so, when was the gold stolen? really???.you think you made a clever retort.but, you just made yourself look rather foolish. Would you care to address ISSUES as opposed to attack people? I knew about 9.11 long ago. Has nothing to do with Sanders. I disagree with the Israeli first candidate part. Im still going to vote for him unless someone worth voting for comes along. #ihavepens Youre an example of the living dead. Bernie Sanders?lol! 
1	Citing nearly unlimited opportunities for the nations currency, an encouraging study released Tuesday by the Brookings Institution found that it has never been easier for U.S. dollars to enter the richest segment of American society. The study, which followed the legal tender over a 40-year period, confirmed that trillions of dollars have been able to move from the lower and middle classes into the upper class, indicating a significant rise in the upward mobility of American money. In comparison to earlier generations, todays U.S. dollars are ascending the economic ladder much faster, and in far greater numbers, said economist and lead researcher Hannah Rodrigues, emphasizing that it is much easier for money to escape the ranks of the poor now than it was just 10 years ago. We have never seen this much money moving into the highest income brackets, and the trend is only getting stronger. These dollars are leaving the working class behind, and theyre not going back, Rodrigues added. According to the report, the percentage of American dollars joining the upper echelons of the wealthy has been increasing steadily since the 1970s, and is currently higher than at any time since the Great Depression. Sixty years ago, by contrast, far more money tended to stay in the middle class, to the extent that such a status was assumed to be almost permanent. Today, the study found, it is reportedly common for money that has spent many decades stuck in the middle to advance to a higher socioeconomic bracket. Whats more, these dollars reaching the highest rungs of the economy are also enjoying an extraordinary level of stability, rarely leaving the upper class once they arrive there. Rodrigues told reporters that on the rare occasion when money does slip back down into a tier of lower-wage earners, it always makes its way back up very quickly. Our report discovered many instances in which an American dollar started out in a poor neighborhood and ended up in an exclusive, affluent community only a few months later, she said. For a dollar that started out among the poorest of the poor, reaching the top 1 percent is now an entirely achievable goal. In fact, it happens all the time here, Rodrigues continued. Most other developed nations dont even compare. The United States is far and away the best place on earth for money to make its way to the top. 
2	Disgusting AntiThe country was shocked when footage surfaced of four Chicago criminals kidnapping and torturing a white homeless man, yelling things like F*ck Donald Trump! and F*ck white people! Now, these thugs are finally seeing justice. Daily Mail just reported that the three teenagers and 24-year-old woman involved were charged with aggravated kidnapping, aggravated unlawful restraint, aggravated battery and a hate crime for their actions. They have been identified as Jordan Hill, 18; Tesfaye Cooper, 18; Brittany Covington, 19; and Tanisha Covington, 24. Hill was also charged with robbery and possession of a stolen motor vehicle. This announcement comes after the disabled homeless man was tortured in a 30-minute Facebook live video. Though the victim has not yet been identified, police found him wandering the streets after his captors released him. The four women in question reportedly tortured the man at an apartment on the 3400 block of West Lexington in Chicago. The video was originally posted by Covington, but she deleted it. Authorities believe the four kidnappers held the man hostage for one to two days, sending text messages to his parents. The victims parents reported him missing on Monday and were later forced to watch the footage of their son being kicked, punched, and having his hair cut until his scalp bled. The violence didnt stop therethe teenagers dumped cigarette ash over the wound and made him drink toilet water. Its sickening, Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson said on Wednesday. It makes you wonder what would make individuals treat somebody like that. Ive been a cop for 28 years, and Ive seen things you shouldnt see in a lifetime, but it still amazes me how you still see things that you shouldnt. What do you think? Do these criminals deserve to spend a lifetime behind bars? 
3	Nearly 60% of Students Are Chasing Dying CareersByMaggie Hill The report The New Work Order: Ensuring young Australians have skills and experience for jobs of the future, not the past, highlights the way we work will be increasingly affected by three key economic drivers: While these changes present some positive opportunities for young people such as lower barriers to entrepreneurship; more flexibility in ways to source income and wider markets to access employment the report also found significant risks, including rising inequality, unemployment and insecurity which young people are likely to bear the brunt of. FYA CEO Jan Owen AM said the findings confirm the urgent need for a comprehensive national investment in young Australians, to ensure the next generation is prepared for the economy of the future and equipped with the tools to drive it. Australia is already facing the challenge of an ageing population and the subsequent shrinking workforce and if our nation is going to overcome these challenges, young people must be given the opportunity to drive the economy forward, Ms Owen said. The future of work is going to be very different. Many of the changes could be great for our nation, but they could also be devastating for young people in particular if we dont take the right actions to prepare for this vastly different world. This report shows that right now, around 70% of young Australians are getting their first job in roles that will either look very different or be completely lost in the next 10 15 years due to automation. Todays 12 year old wont have the same opportunities to get a start in the workforce. Around one in three young people are currently unemployed or underemployed in Australia. As more entry levels jobs go in the coming decades, the chances for young people to get a foothold in the labour market will continue to shrink. Yet young Australians are not being geared for this change. Our report found nearly 60% of Australian students (71% in VET) are currently studying or training for occupations where at least two thirds of jobs will be automated over the coming decades. Many of the jobs they are studying could vanish in 10-15 years time. We need to provide our young people with a different set of skills to allow them to navigate their way through a diverse employment journey that will include around five career changes and an average of 17 different jobs. We must start thinking differently about how we back young people for the jobs and careers of the future, so they dont get stuck in the past. Ms Owen said there is a growing awareness about the need to boost digital literacy, but Australia is not acting fast enough. Technology and globalisation are making it easier and cheaper for people to start their own business; and new technologies and ways of working are making how and where people work more flexible. If we are to make this work in our favour, we need to position our young people for success. Our report found more than 90% of Australias current workforce will need digital skills to communicate and find information in order to perform their roles in the next 2-5 years. At least 50% will need advanced skills to configure and build systems. To manage this demand and ensure Australias young people can thrive in this environment, the next generation need to not only know how to operate technology, but how to create and manipulate it as well. Our children may be able to operate a smart-phone with ease, but what they need is to learn how to build it. Unfortunately, our national curriculum is stuck in the past with the current recommendation that teaching in digital skills not commence until Year 9. This is despite the international evidence that says we must go early. If we dont start early equip our young people to be digitally-literate, financially-savvy, innovative, adaptable workers they will not be able to keep up in the global market place, and the gap between high-income earners and low-income earners will get even wider for the next generation. Ms Owen said Australia desperately needs a national enterprise learning strategy to provide young people with the skills, knowledge and ideas required for a 21st century economy. Enterprise learning involves a focus on core skills including: Communication; Financial literacy; Digital literacy; Project Management; Creativity; and Innovation. Since 2012, the OECD has reported that the development of enterprise skills is a more powerful predictor of long-term job success and performance than technical subject-specific knowledge. This will become even more important in the future. If we equip our young people with the right set of skills, a thirst for innovation, and the ability to collaborate, we can ensure they take our nations economy in a positive direction and build the kind of lives and society for themselves we would all hope for our children. An enterprising skills education would: VisitFoundation for Young Australiansfor more. $5 % of jobs will be by robots..Driver-less cars will put panel beaters out of business along with spare parts..e mail has wrecked PO net has wrecked Wireless stations and news papers.good luck with that .. if you cant use your hands doing some thing a robot cant do change jobs/

1	A report out Monday from the Labor Department has found that of the millions of American adults who have switched jobs in search of a new career, not a single one has ever experienced a higher quality of life or greater levels of overall satisfaction. Our results show that exactly zero people in the workforce have benefited from examining their original goals in life, deciding happiness lies elsewhere, and risking a new career, read the report, compiled from an exhaustive study of every person employed in the United States since record-keeping began in 1888. According to our evidence, if you aspire your whole life to become an attorney, spend a decade practicing law, and then quit to start your own business or pursue some other profession, you will be completely miserable. Even if your new line of work pays significantly more, you will still feel an overwhelming lack of fulfillment and regret making the change. Our report concludes that all citizens should cling to their current station in life, however unpleasant they find it. The study also found that 80 percent of Americans who dont fulfill their career goals by age 5 remain crestfallen for the rest of their lives.

2	Okay Then, Take Down The Anti Christian Gay Pride Flag Following the shooting in Charleston, SC, the Confederate Flag has been the source of major controversy. In fact, the liberal media is demanding that it be virtually erased from history. Meanwhile, the gay pride or gay rights flag is flying free, following the Supreme Court decision to legalize gay marriage. Now, several Christians are demanding that the flag be taken down, as it is a symbol of hatred toward religion. While it claims to be a symbol of rights and equality, what it truly is is a statement against Christianity and traditional beliefs. Over the past few years weve seen those who practice strict Christianity take a beating for their beliefs. Theyve been repeatedly bullied and harassed by the media. Theyve seen their reputations ruined and their businesses shut down. And theyve had enough. What do you think? Do we need to stop flying the gay pride flag in government-owned buildings? 
1	While walking the streets of poverty-stricken downtown Los Angeles Monday, despondent Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps witnessed, and participated in, a pick-up swim meet that reinvigorated his attitude towards the sport. 'It had gotten to a point where all I cared about was winning gold medals, but seeing those kidsmany of whom had absolutely nothing but their dreamsrace the 400-meter individual medley and the 200-meter freestyle for the pure joy of it all brought me back to why I got into the sport in the first place,' said Phelps, who reportedly won the respect of the swimmers and ultimately earned the right to come back to the Compton slum after the Olympics for September's pick-up invitational. 'It was just like when I was coming up in the sport: 48 kids getting together on a Saturday, two captains picking a team, the divers going to their own section of the pool, and basically just having a good, old-fashioned, playground-rules three-hour swim meet.' Phelps finished second in the 100-meter butterfly and fifth in the 200-meter individual medley. 
3	Breaking IRS Scandal News: House Panel Votes to Hold Lois Lerner in Contempt of CongressLily Dane Here are the details, as reported by Fox News: Some Democrats have argued that Lerner invoked her Fifth Amendment right to not testify: It is no surprise that Rep. Elijah Cummings, who is the top Democrat on the committee, is one who claims that the contempt case against Lerner is weak. After all, Cummings himself is part of the scandal his staff sent emails to the IRS to request information about True the Vote, a Tea Party-affiliated voter fraud watchdog group. Earlier this year, Catherine Engelbrecht, the founder and leader of True the Vote and King Street Patriots, testified about the more than 15 instances of harassment she and her family have been subjected to from federal agencies including the IRS, OSHA, and ATF. Ironically, during that hearing, Engelbrecht was harassed by Cummings. Naturally, Cummings has denied any wrongdoing, but now House Oversight has proof, as reported by TownHall: During the hearing in February, Cummings said the following about Engelbrechts claims: As John Hayward of Human Events points out, Cummings actions sure look suspicious: On Wednesday, Issa wrote the following to Cummings: House Speaker John Boehner said of the decision: What about Cummings? It appears that Lerner isnt the only one guilty of wrongdoing in this scandal. Lily Dane is a staff writer for The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared.

3	South Africas Dr. Death Again Evades SentencingJanet Phelan Basson, who was found guilty by the HPCSA in 2013 of acting unprofessionally as the director of the apartheid governments biological and chemical warfare unit, Project Coast, may have had one of the longest running trials in history. The initial complaints against him were filed with the medical board in 2000, only to be delayed until the conclusion of his criminal trial in Pretoria High Court. As director of Project Coast in the eighties and early nineties, Basson allegedly provided assassination chemicals to members of the South African Defence Force, and, according to testimony heard in the criminal case, was involved in 229 murders. In addition, he was charged with embezzlement, drug trafficking and possession of illegal drugs. When he was arrested in 1997, he had more than 1000 Ecstasy tablets in his possession. The judge in the criminal matter, Willie Hartzenberg, acquitted Basson of all charges against him in 2002. There were over 150 witnesses who testified against Dr. Basson. Basson was the sole witness in his defense. Basson was known to be working on developing a blacks-only bioweapon, work which may have come to fruition. Much of his activities with Project Coast remain secret and undisclosed. He had also developed high ranking contacts with British and American intelligence and their governments biological and chemical weapons programs. Basson is currently a successful cardiologist in Capetown. In 2007, the HPCSA began its inquiry into Bassons activities under the apartheid regime. In 2013, the HPCSA determined that he had acted unethically as a medical doctor in the following charges: His sentencing has been repeatedly delayed since that time, as his legal counsel, Jaap Cilliers, has failed to come to court for Bassons sentencing on multiple occasions, necessitating continuances. In January, Cilliers filed an emergency petition with the court in Pretoria, stating that two of the HPCSA professional conduct committee members were biased against Basson, due to their membership in organizations which had signed a petition asking for Basson to be stripped of his medical license. This petition was signed by a number of South African medical professionals and groups, including the South African Medical Association and the Rural Doctors Association of South Africa. In his answering petition, HPCSA committee chairperson Jannie Hugo admitted his membership in the two organizations and wrote: I did not participate in the process of the compilation of the petitions. I also did not sign any of them.the reason thereof is simple-I could not allow myself to be influenced by and participate in the process relevant to the issues to be determined in the proceedings, which were occurring outside the hearing. In addition, Cilliers has alleged that committee member Professor Roland Edgar Mhlanga was also a member of the SAMA and thus should also be recused. Mhlanga stated in his affidavit that he was not a member of either organization and that he did not sign any petitions. Judge Bert Bam of the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria has ruled that Basson may apply for the two committee members recusal. Bam wrote, Not only will an order in this regard materially affect the proceedings, but it will surely have a devastating effect on the officer in question. The HPCSA will convene again on the Basson matter on March 12. If the past is any indicator, Basson will continue to evade sentencing. According to some Basson watchers, should the matter end up in Pretoria court rather than in the administrative proceedings launched by the HPCSA, the doctor may prevail. Many of the sitting judges are hold-overs from the apartheid era legal system and appear to be amenable to Bassons issues. Janet C.

2	Man Sucked Out Of Plane From 14,000 Feet After THIS Happens Earlier this week, a man was sucked out of a commercial airplane in Somalia at over 14,000 feet in the air. Two others were injured in the horrible incident. What they suspect happened is that a bomb exploded and created the massive hole. However, they have not yet confirmed this, and no terrorist organization has taken responsibility. The Somali authorities have found what they think is the body. After 14,000 feet of free fall its probably hard to tell. This is horrible, and probably every flyers worst nightmare. Please send your prayers to his family. 
2	Mother Drowns Her Babies And Hides Bodies Under Neighbors House According to devastating new reports, two young children were found dead on Sunday at a neighbors house after their mother reportedly told someone she had drowned them to death in the bathtub. 30-year-old Sheborah Thomas has since been charged with capital murder. The Houston Police Department reports the two deceased children are seven-year-old RayRay and five-year-old Kayana. Authorities are still interviewing the mother and are yet to confirm the cause of death. Thomas was reportedly turned into police custody by a friend who found her throwing trash in a field. When he asked where the kids were, she bluntly said she killed them. At first, her friend thought she was joking. She allegedly tried burying them, and when that didnt work she put the children under a neighbors home. Her friend brought her to the police when he realized this nightmare could be true. Sheborah has no previous record, other than minor offenses. Neighbors spoke in her favor, and claimed they were shocked and horrified at the news. No one could identify a motive for her actions, though many expressed shock and disgust for her actions. It is clear that Sheborah likely suffers from mental illness. Still, we hope she is found guilty and sent to prison or an asylum for as long as she can be. What do you think of these reports? Is this a true tragedy?

3	Anti-NDAA Bill Introduced in NevadaThe Nevada Chapters ofPANDA(People Against the National Defense Authorization Act, the NDAA) announce the introduction of BDR 728, The Nevada Liberty Preservation Act The Bill, sponsored by Nevada State Senator Don Gustavson, will be part of the 2013 Nevada State Legislative session which begins in February. Passage of the Nevada Liberty Preservation Act will demonstrate the Legislatures commitment to Constitutional Law and Individual Liberty by restoring the right to due process to all persons in Nevada. The 2012 National Defense Authorization Act was overwhelmingly passed by Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama on December 31, 2011. The 2012 NDAA declares the United States to be a battlefield in the war on terror and Section 1021 1022 authorize the indefinite detention, without charge or trial, of all persons on US soil suspected of terrorist activity or accused of belligerent behavior. This violates at least 23 Articles of and Amendments to both the US and Nevada Constitutions. PANDA, a national, nonpartisan, grassroots organization, founded in January 2012, is committed to the nullification of the NDAAs unconstitutional authorizations at the state and local levels of government. PANDA started in Bowling Green, OH and has since expanded to 30+ states with over 90 chapters nationwide. The three Nevada Chapters of PANDA worked resolutely to gain support for this initiative within the State Legislature. Daphne Lee, Clark County Chapter Head said, We are working hard every day to restore the rights of every Nevadan, and will work tirelessly until we have succeeded. The Nevada Chapters of PANDA are among the most active chapters in the nation. While introduction of BDR 728 marks a major milestone, the group has also made significant progress at the City and County levels. During the first quarter of 2013, Nullification of the NDAA will be on the agenda for the Washoe County Commission and the Reno City Council.

3	US Government Gives $100 BILLION in Improper Payments Every YearLily Dane The improper payments came in the forms of tax credits to families that didnt qualify, unemployment benefits to people who had jobs and medical payments for treatments that might not have been necessary. In 2013, improper payments totaled approximately $106 billion and experts say that figure could actually be higher. Rep. John Mica, R-Fla, chairs the House Oversight subcommittee on government operations. He told the AP the amounts are staggering: The government-run website Payment Accuracy explains how improper payments occur: High-error federally-administered programs include: Causes of improper payments fall into three categories: documentation and administrative errors, authentication and medical necessity errors, and verification errors. The government claims most errors are made unintentionally and do not represent fraud. Guess which source of improper payments is the largest? According to agency estimates, the winner is government health care programs: Most of the payments were deemed improper because they were issued without proper documentation, said Shantanu Agrawal, a deputy administrator for the Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services. In some cases, the paperwork didnt verify that services were medically necessary. Payments deemed improper under these circumstances tend to be the result of documentation and coding errors made by the provider as opposed to payments made for inappropriate claims, Agrawal said. (source) Medicaid improper payments exceeded $14.4 BILLION in 2013. And this program is expanding under Obamacare! Naturally, many of the improper payments come from the IRS. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said the issue is important to the IRS, and that it is an ongoing battle: The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a major culprit here it paid out $14.5 BILLION in improper payments last year, which represents 24% of all payments under that program: People get credits they dont deserve by claiming children they dont have or misreporting their income or filing status, Koskinen said. Koskinen also said it will be challenging for the IRS to make improvements due to its lack of adequate funding: The IRS says its 2014 budget of $11.29 billion is $850 million below the funding it received in 2010, despite the surging fraud and identity theft that is leading to many improper payments. How is the IRS going to administer the ACA if they already cant handle their workload? Larger programs typically result in less oversight and more corruption. If the agency cant run on a $11.29 BILLION budget and is rampant with issues already, how is it going to manage the monstrous behemoth that is Obamacare? When the IRS scandal broke last year, Dr. Ron Paul said the following about the agency: While it is important for Congress to investigate the most recent scandal and ensure all involved are held accountable, we cannot pretend that the problem is a few bad actors. The very purpose of the IRS is to transfer wealth from one group to another while violating our liberties in the process, thus the only way Congress can protect our freedoms is to repeal the income tax and shutter the doors of the IRS once and for all. Although government waste is not limited to the IRS, abolishing it would be a good start, as the agency is bloated with power and corruption and has a disturbing history of wasting of taxpayer money (money that many would say the agency has no right to in the first place). The need to repeal Obamacare is becoming more and more apparent as well. Perhaps the federal government-operated Payment Accuracy website said it best: There you have it straight from the horses mouth.

3	AMI Smart Meter Testing Video Disputes Safety Claims for Smart Meter EMFsBy Catherine J. Frompovich Utility companies lobbyists and public relations campaigns regarding AMI Smart Meters apparently cite safety statistics and information that say, cell phones are astronomically bad and Smart Meters are next to nothing, as found in the PSO of Oklahoma trifold brochure explaining Smart Meters. One determined Owasso, Oklahoma, resident, Mr. Joe Esposito, took it upon himself to perform a test to challenge PSOs trifold brochure statistics regarding AMI Smart Meter safety, after listening to Dr. Dietrick Klinghardt, MD, [2] discussing health concerns from Smart Meter EMF-RF exposure. Much to Mr. Espositos credit and determination, he spent over $1,000 several years back to purchase a digital microwave radiation measuring devicethe HE35C High Frequency Analyzerthat he used to perform seven tests to check the veracity of the statistics PSO published in the Health and Safety section of its trifold brochure. Mr. Esposito went about his research using exceptional methodology, plus videography and chart production, for someone who apparently is not a professional scientist. Additionally, Joe published 94 articles about Smart Meters in the Banner Newspaper [3] in Oklahoma. The PSO took its statistical information for the trifold brochure from the 2011 California Council of Science and Technology document. However, Joe found contradicting research stats published January 31, 2016 by Dr. Daniel Hirsch, which indicate the exact opposite for the safety of cell phones at ear during use than what PSO says in its brochure! As a result, Joe wanted to know what the real deal was regarding EMF-RF exposure for all the exposures PSO cited in its brochure, so he made this 43 minute video on February 3, 2016. The first 13 minutes introduce and explain what Joe does. The actual High Frequency Analyzer tests begin at 13:08 on the timeline. Using his HE35C High Frequency Analyzer, Joe documented via video and comparative charts, the real-time EMF exposures from various EMF-emitting devices at various distances, as listed in the PSO trifold brochure. It needs to be noted that every one of the readings that Mr. Espositos High Frequency Analyzer came up with proved unequivocally that the information put out in the PSO brochure for consumers education, awareness and assurance of safety regarding Smart Meters was apparently erroneous or false, and definitely misleading. The results are shown in the chart below. For anyone whos concerned about non-ionizing radiation (EMF/RF) coming from Smart Meters attached to or in your home, the work that Joe Esposito has done certainly proves that all 50 U.S. states Public Utility Commissions need to go back to the drawing board regarding Smart Meter safety and health issues. There is too much medical and scientific information, studies and data published that documents whats called Non-thermal adverse health events from microwaves being emitted from cell phones and towers, Wi-Fi, monitoring devices and utility company AMI Smart Meters. Since Smart Meters are an integral part of the Internet of Things, perhaps too much successful lobbying was done at various federal agency levels regarding the inaccuracy of EMFs/RFs emissions from Smart Meters, and Congress needs to get involved too, since it has oversight. Why? U.S. taxpayers are having their houses set ablaze from Smart Meter fires and homeowners fire insurance policies will not provide and/or deny fire insurance coverage for house fires started by Smart Meters! See this horrendous Smart Meter house fire story that happened in suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which I wrote aboutSmart Meters Fire, Living Hell And Bureaucratic Messes, and still is not resolved! Smart Meters theoretically are defective insofar as they are made with plastic parts and can cause whats called hot sockets. Hot Sockets occur when a portion of the meter base around a blade is melted. Every utility company in the USA has been called to investigate such fires, which meter manufacturers and TESCO dont want the public to know about. Yet, the publicand utility company customers with Smart Meters (SMs)have every right to know the dangers regarding SMs that cause fires, explosions, or scorching. [4] There is no technology on SMs to forewarn of overheating, fire danger or explosion, even though manufacturers would like to make their SMs able to withstand hot socket conditions for longer periods of time so the hot socket problem would not occur. [4] Mr. Joe Espositos Smart Meter research work must be taken seriously by everyone: consumers, states legislatures and Public Utility Commissions, federal agencies, and Congress. The public cannot be subjected to appliances or PUC rules and regulations that will make them and their children sick, plus increase the costs of healthcare for health insurance companies, Medicare and Medicaid. AMI Smart Meters arent what they are cracked up to be. Didnt Joe prove it?

Two of Catherines more recent books on Amazon.com are Our Chemical Lives And The Hijacking Of Our DNA, A Probe Into Whats Probably Making Us Sick (2009) and Lord, How Can I Make It Through Grieving My Loss, An Inspirational Guide Through the Grieving Process (2008) Im sure the DeCeiptfull ones will not be putting them in or even near their own domiciles. thk you for the info What is extremely lacking in any of the articles of this type are the frequencies which are being tested, actual power readings (not estimates or generalizations), and the rest of the information such as modulation methods, whether CDMA or any other type of PSK-type principles are applied to the signals. Its not simple enough to say cell phones when each model may operate at 700MHz, 900MHz, 2.4GHz, 5GHz, etc. More effort needs to be put forth by the people who really want answers (scientific and technical in nature) in order to properly inform the public with solid information, not wild-sounding conspiracy-theory rhetoric. I do believe that there could be something here, but I need to do further testing for myself because I, like so many others, dont believe everything I see on the Internet. Take that for what its worth. If you have a SM, stand in front of it 3 5 ft. for 1/2 hr or more. You will start to feel the symptoms because the high piked RF radiation is being shot at you constantly and will start to degrade your blood cells, will start to cause oxidative damage to your cells, there will be increased leaking or inflammation in your gut and blood brain barrier and other organs as the body tries to compensate or react to this attack on our bodies. Our earth vibrates at the Schumann resonance of 7.83 Hz. This is the resonance and vibration that we and all biological life and plants have evolved for millions of years to thrive on. Such a perversion and pollution of this normal environment that has taken place in the last few decades and most egregiously by the introduction of the most offending devices Smart Meters is a new and dangerous frontier that the Corporatocracy has imposed on us without proper safety testing and our informed consent. Yes, I understand all of what you are saying. I have been involved with this field for nearly 30 years. Without trying to sound too smarmyyou are using a computer, are you notan electrical device in and of itself rife with electrical noise? The larger question I have for the community is: why arent they more organized? I have even offered services to people with claims in this area, who want testing done yet I have been turned down every time. Even if I publish my results I doubt it will get any traction. My computer doesnt put out the type of high spiked RF radiation that a SM does. If you have an RF reader you will know that. Plus my computer is wired by choice. I had NO choice in the Smart Meter they installed it without my knowledge or permission. Why arent we more organized?? We do the best we can with our own free time and our own money. We are not funded by the Corporatocracy like the other side, which has lots of blood money to push this down our collective throats. Any good work is not wasted so dont hesitate to do what you can. Some smart meters use the 2.4 GHz portion of the spectrum. This is the same spectrum utilized by microwave ovens (quite noisy), and also WiFi, Bluetooth, amateur radio, and a few others. Testing of a cellular tower requires the receiving eequipment to be out of any shadow zones, in addition to other numerous consideration. 10 feet from a cellular tower is not an ideal location to test field strengths. Without knowing the intended or unintended modes of operation revealed by a full-field spectral analysis (and possibly fromthe company that owns the tower) any results obtained are not valued by the scientific method. For the true skeptics among us, any information provided by the cellular provider or anybody else using the tower can be used as a control. i.e., freqs found which arent supposed to be there would draw attention and require further investigation. Your comparison chart shows PSO Claims 400,00 and actual test 53,000. The test for Smart meters is done by Electrics engineers using electrical physics Reference

But it was poorly written and the reporter did not ask the right questions, nor did they do all their homework. From the story: This small segment highlights the poor research conducted by the AP reporter. Right off the top The 176,000 rifle rounds were cancelled. If Mr. Obamas administration had no ammunition at the very beginning, they certainly develop a stockpile very quickly.

3	Local Sheriffs Dept. Used Stingray Surveillance More than 300 Times Without a WarrantBy Derrick Broze New documentsreveal that since acquiring a Stingray in late 2012, the San Bernardino Sheriffs Departmenthas used the device 303 times between January 1, 2014 and May 7, 2015. According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation: The Stingray is a brand name of an IMSI(International Mobile Subscriber Identity)catcher targeted and sold to law enforcement. A Stingray works by masquerading as a cell phone towerto 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, the government can figure out who, when and to where you are calling, the precise location of every device within the range, and with some devices, even capture the content of your conversations. Police officers can use the devices to track your cellphone signal. Once the signal is located, the stingray can provide a general location on the map and police officers can drive around (or in one case, walk door to door) until they get a signal from your phone. Police departments have also begun requesting updated equipment that will upgrade the Stingray system to track 4G LTE Phones, as ATT and other cellular providers prepare to shut down their 2G networks. This has civil liberties advocates up in arms over the potential for misuse of the tools. The San Bernardino Sheriffs Department (SBSD) responded to public records requests, sent by Ars Technica and other outlets, by releasing an example of a template for a pen register and trap and trace order application. Ars Technica reports on pen register orders: Detectives typically go to a local judge before they want to deploy the device and file an application for a pen register and trap and trace order. Those orders are often sealed, even well after the case has concluded, so there is usually little public scrutiny. In the pre-cellphone era, a pen register and trap and trace order allowed law enforcement to obtain someones calling metadata in near real-time from the telephone company. Lawyers for the county released a document that they claimed was a warrant application template. The application does not offer any legal authority on which the Sheriffs base their activities. This is astonishing because it suggests the absence of legal authorization (because if there were clear legal authorization you can bet the government would be citing it), Fred Cate, a law professor at Indiana University, told Ars by e-mail. Alternatively, it might suggest that the government just doesnt care about legal authorization. Either interpretation is profoundly troubling, he said. Nathan Wessler, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, told Ars that, the template is likely to mislead judges who receive applications based on it because it gives no indication that the Sheriffs Department intends to use a stingray. We have seen similarly misleading applications submitted to judges by police departments across the country, he continued. Judges have no hope of ensuring that use of stingrays complies with the Fourth Amendment if they are kept in the dark about law enforcements intent to use a stingray. When police hide the ball from judges, our justice system cannot ensure justice. In mid-March, Anti-Media reported that a New York Supreme Court judge ruled that the Erie County Sheriffs Office must comply with public records requests on Stingray cell phone surveillance. The American Civil Liberties Union of New York sued the Sheriffs Office after the department failed to respond to requests regarding how the devices are used. Justice Patrick NeMoyer sided with the NYCLU and ruled that the Sheriffs office must hand over the data. NYCLU Staff Attorney Mariko Hirose said the decision confirmed that law enforcement cannot hide behind a shroud of secrecy while it is invading the privacy of those it has sworn to protect and serve.

2	DEVELOPING: Watch The AntiDuring a free speech protest being held in Phoenix on Friday evening, a group of anti-Islam protestors gathered outside of a mosque after a draw Muhammad contest. The Phoenix Police department reported that there were no arrests or injuries, although the event was clearly tense. Police worked to divide anti-Islam protestors from counter-demonstrators, though both groups were shouting across the line. Several protestors were wearing f*** Islam shirts and holding signs expressing a similar sentiment. Counter-demonstrators were seen holding f*** ISIS not Islam signs. Organizers of the protest encouraged those attending to come armed, given the recent incident in Garland, Texas. Im having to go into hiding after this because they are calling lone wolves to come in and behead me, the chief organizer, Jon Ritzheimer, told reporters. Thats tyranny. Thats terrorism right here in America. What do you think of the protest? 
1	DEARBORN, MIDennis Frye, 31, an unmarried lawn-care-supply wholesaler and home-turtle enthusiast, took special time out Monday, as he does every day, to enjoy quality care, feeding and maintenance of his pet turtle Sheldon. Dennis Frye makes sure to set aside at least an hour each day for quality time with his pet turtle Sheldon. 'Who's a little shell-head? Who? Who?' asked Frye, visibly enthused by the turtle's presence. Sheldon, a common box turtle acquired by Frye at Winston's World Of Exciting Fish & Pets in downtown Dearborn as a 'birthday present' for himself in 1995, did not appear to respond. The animal has been Frye's sole domestic companion for three years. Lovingly replenishing Sheldon's lettuce supply and refilling his special personalized food-pellet distribution device, Frye removed the squat, near-immobile animal from his tank for his daily bathtub swim in several inches of lukewarm water. Frye then cleaned the droppings from Sheldon's aquarium habitat, rinsing out the bed of multi-colored pebbles and placing fresh pebbles where necessary, pausing periodically to 'check in on' the turtle with queries like, 'How ya doin' there, lil' buddy?'; 'You doin' okay in there?' and 'Havin' fun just swimmin' around?' Before returning Sheldon to his tank, Frye also engaged the animal in several minutes of spirited 'play,' which largely consisted of Frye picking up Sheldon and setting him down in various spots, then watching him crawl feebly in a vain attempt to escape his human captor. 'Each evening, during turtle-time, if Sheldon has been an especially well-behaved little guy that day, I give him his favorite 'special occasion' treata chunk of leafy iceberg lettuce covered in yummy fish oil,' Frye told reporters. 'He always crunches down on it with such gusto, I almost feel like I'm getting a special treat, too.' Frye enjoys the company of his 'favorite little turtle-pal.' Feeding the tiny reptile a lovingly prepared slice of lettuce, Frye watched as Sheldon slowly chewed and swallowed each mouthful. 'Look at him!' Frye whispered gleefully. 'He's chewing it!' 'He loves it! Look at him smiling!' he added. According to herpetologists, not only is the facial musculature of the box turtle incapable of forming a smile, but the chances of Sheldon actually experiencing feelings of joy are almost nil. 'Reptilian creatures like Sheldon do not experience emotions the way many people think they do,' said Dr. Stanley Hargrove of the San Diego Zoo. 'Turtles lack the nurturing and bonding capacities of more highly developed creatures and are thus incapable of feelings of affection.' Hargrove also noted that Sheldon's 'play' behavior is not really play at all, but rather escape instinct in action. 'Sheldon, like any animal forced to live in a small glass tank, is consumed with a desire to get away,' he said. 'Of course, since this is a pet turtle we're talking about, there is very little Sheldon can do to act on this desire other than basically crawling to the side of his tank and looking out.' Hargrove said the turtle's relative helplessness is rendered all the more pitiable by his inability to communicate his dissatisfaction to his human owner. 'Sometimes, when Sheldon is really feeling wild, he likes to wear his special 'Super-Turtle' sweater,' said Frye, forcing the animal into a novelty pet-clothing item. Frye grinned as he pulled the small garment, complete with an iron-on 'ST' logo and miniature cape, over the turtle's shell. 'Doesn't he look cute?' said Frye, picking up the turtle to 'fly' him around the room 'like a little superhero.' Sheldon reacted in the same manner he always does when held: by withdrawing into his shell as a natural defense mechanism against predators. 'I love Sheldon, my little turtle friend,' Frye said. 'It's so nice to have someone around the house as company.' Added Frye: 'I believe it's really important for all of God's creatures, whether turtles or humans, to feel loved.' 
3	A 600,000 Cubic Foot Blimp May Be Spying on YouTed Baumann His target was Venice, then in rebellion against the Habsburg crown. During the siege, he launched a fleet of unmanned linen balloons, carrying bombs made from canister shot and gunpowder, timed to drop over the besieged city. Radetzky told Emperor Franz Joseph that the effect on the people of Venice was frightful. Indeed, Radetzkys balloons had done little physical damage, but had a substantial effect on the morale of the citys defenders. As the 19th century wore on, fear of attack by airships became a constant theme in popular literature. By World War I, the mere mention of the word Zeppelin was enough to cause panic in the streets of London. A prevailing theme in the literature of the era and the minds of the people was that these aerial monsters would always be deployed by ones enemies. So it says a lot about the current atmosphere in the U.S. that the overwhelming public reaction to the deployment of massive Army blimps over Interstate 95 in Maryland has been fear and rejection. Government Surveillance: From Zeppelin to JLENS The blimps launched just outside Baltimore in December known as Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor Systems (JLENS) are the largest ever sent aloft. At 80 yards long with a total volume of around 600,000 cubic feet, theyre the size of three Goodyear blimps.They will float at 10,000 feet, about one-third as high as an airliner. Theyre also expensive. The two prototype airships have cost almost $3 billion so far. Officially, the blimps will deploy a sophisticated radar system that can spot and track aircraft, missiles, ships or even ground vehicles in a circular area, ranging from New York to North Carolina and from halfway to Bermuda to the Ohio Valley. They are meant to replace the Air Force radar planes currently used for this purpose. But JLENS isnt technically limited to radar. If equipped with high-resolution cameras, they can see and record everything for miles, in extraordinary detail. In Kabul, for example, residents are used to seeing the U.S. militarys tethered blimp called the Persistent Ground Surveillance system hovering above the city, capturing video of daily life below. Blimps are ideal platforms for mass surveillance. As Ginger McCall, associate director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), says, Theres something inherently suspect for the public to look up in the sky and see this surveillance device hanging there. Its the definition of persistent surveillance. Not only can the blimps potentially see everything youre doing they can be seen seeing you. That speaks volumes. Like Radetzkys balloons and Count von Zeppelins dirigibles, the main effect of the big blimps will be psychological. As Ed Herlik, a former Air Force officer and technology analyst, explains: If you put a camera in a sky over an area where you expect a lot of unrest, the area will calm down. Stay Calm, but Get Ready to Go Does the U.S. government expect unrest in an area the size of Texas centered on Washington, D.C.? If our rulers are smart, they should. They incur debt on our behalf at a terrific rate. They use those borrowings to increase their capacity to monitor and control us, and to undertake ruinous foreign wars. They indulge in wholesale corruption, sanitized as campaign finance. And they resolutely refuse to listen to the wishes of the majority of Americans, who dont want any of these things. As we advise our Freedom Alliance members, you can expect a lower level of public service and amenities in countries that arent as rich as the U.S. The upside is that the governments of those countries also cant afford to spend $3 billion on massive surveillance blimps parked atop their capital cities, even if they wanted to. From where I stand, our slide towards a corrupt, oligarchic U.S. society, held in check by mass technological surveillance and unaccountable bureaucracy, is well under way. Its not a theoretical issue anymore and neither is the need to do something about it. Dont put all your eggs in one basket. Begin making steps to establish second residency in another country, and start preparing for a life elsewhere where there arent any blimps hovering overhead.

But for those who live in the city, its often a very different story. Underneath the city lays more than 200 miles of flood tunnels. The tunnels serve as the home to more than 1,000 homeless residents, despite the unsafe living conditions. The tunnels pose a high risk for disease, flooding, and highly venomous spidersbut for those down on their luck, they can be an appealing solution. Inhabitants have been known to build homes within the tunnels, complete with beds and shelves. So who lives in these tunnels? Residents range from those who have lost their jobs, retired veterans, drug addicts, and criminals. What do you think of these inhabitants? Are they posing a risk to the community? 
1	Mandy Walters has an interesting story about how she got these shoes, the Boston-area file clerk said Monday. 'Okay, I'm driving to my mom's in Vermont when I stop to get gas,' Walters told coworker Janet Bloch. 'As I'm paying, I notice the time on the receipt, and it's an hour earlier than I thought, so I ask the guy if their clock is off. He says no, 'cause it turns out the night before was daylight savings. So, suddenly, I have an hour to kill, and what's right across the street? An outlet mall! And the Payless store had these for only $29.99!' Walters' blouse, purchased at the same mall, is reportedly another story altogether. 
1	Area resident Larry Spoerl was thrilled to learn Monday that his brother's wife is pregnant, temporarily relieving him of the pressure to produce grandchildren for his mother. 'That's the most wonderful news I've heard in ages,' the 31-year-old Spoerl told brother Marc. 'Now I can get through Christmas without the whole so- are- you- dating- anyone- how- serious- is- it- does- she- want- a- family interrogation.' Despite his momentary elation, Spoerl said his brother's expected child 'only buys me a year or two at best.' 
3	This Is It! China Surpasses U.S. As Number One Global Trading PowerBrandon Smith, Contributor This trend, which seemed to take serious root in 2005, was the massive shift by China from an export dependent source of cheap manufacturing and labor, into a moderate exporter, consumer hub, and currency powerhouse. In my view at the time, the evidence suggested that China was positioning itself to decouple from its dependence on U.S. markets and the dollar. I was, of course, attacked as a doom monger and conspiracy theorist. Five years later, the critics have changed their tune For the past decade, China has been slowly but surely issuing Yuan-denominated bonds and securities around the globe, while simultaneously forming bilateral trade agreements with multiple nations and cutting out the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency. This process has gone mostly ignored by the mainstream financial media. However, I and many other independent analysts could not overlook the red flags. I tried to summarize as much of the situation and facts as I could in my article How The U.S. Dollar Will Be Replaced, which was published in May of last year: http://www.alt-market.com/articles/784-how-the-us-dollar-will-be-replaced The biggest question for me was, if China is one of the largest holders of Forex reserves on the planet, and had the largest savings of any nation, WHY did they feel the need or desire in 2005 to begin issuing Yuan-denominated debt? Why begin borrowing capital from foreign creditors? They certainly didnt need the money. Why were they moving away from export dependency and building a consumer base? And why attempt to proliferate their currency? Wouldnt the pursuit of global Yuan circulation lead to an eventual increase in valuation? Didnt the Chinese want their currency cheap so that they could maintain export superiority? What did the Chinese know in 2005 that we didnt? http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-02-08/china-accounts-nearly-half-worlds-new-money-supply China is flooding the system with Yuan! This means only one thing; China is no longer seeking to maintain the traditional trade relationship it has had with the United States. To make my case even more clear, I would point out that China has not only become the worlds largest gold producer, but also its largest BUYER, recently surpassing India. Official estimates place Chinese gold purchases in 2012 at around 800 tons; an astonishing increase in their stockpile. The U.S. and the Federal Reserve cant even deliver gold it is supposed to be holding for others, including Germany. China has also recently quadrupled imports of rice and tripled wheat and corn imports in only one year. Why? Again, I ask, what do they know that we are not being told? http://ajw.asahi.com/article/economy/business/AJ201302020056 As I have stated for many years, China is being groomed as an alternative economic engine in opposition to the United States, and that this will lead to an eventual dump by them of the Greenback. This scenario is not only based on my opinion, it has also been spoken of openly by elitist financiers, including George Soros: This past month, the same plan has been reiterated by Zhu Min, the deputy managing director of the IMF. In his statement, he proclaimed that the shift by China into a more consumer-based system had been successful, and that the Yuan or RMB, was on the way to becoming a world reserve currency: http://www.wantchinatimes.com/news-subclass-cnt.aspx?id=20130118000075cid=1102 I believe that the moment for the epic changeover, and all the political and financial conflict that comes with it, has begun It has been announced this week that China surpassed the U.S. for the first time ever as the number one trading power in the world: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-02-09/china-passes-u-s-to-become-the-world-s-biggest-trading-nation.html U.S. exports and imports last year totaled $3.82 trillion, the U.S. Commerce Department said last week. Chinas customs administration reported last month that the countrys total trade in 2012 amounted to $3.87 trillion. China had a $231.1 billion annual trade surplus while the U.S. had a trade deficit of $727.9 billion: It is remarkable that an economy that is only a fraction of the size of the U.S. economy has a larger trading volume, Nicholas Lardy, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, said in an e-mail. The surpassing of the U.S. is not because of a substantially undervalued currency that has led to an export boom, said Lardy, noting that Chinese imports have grown more rapidly than exports since 2007. According to ONeill (Goldman Sachs Jim ONeill), the trade figures underscore the need to draw China further into the global financial and trading architecture that the U.S. helped create. One way or another we have to get China more involved in the global organizations of today and the future despite some of their own reluctance, ONeill said, mentioning Chinas inclusion in the International Monetary Funds Special Drawing Rights currency basket. To not have China more symbolically and more importantly actually central to all these things is just increasingly silly. For those who are still not aware of why this is such a big deal, it is essentially a turning point moment in global trade. There is no doubt that China will now be inducted into the SDR, and that their importance as a trade and consumption center will quickly lead to a move away from the dollar. To put it simply, the dollar is going to lose its world reserve status VERY soon. Many will cheer this change as necessary progress towards a more globally conscious economic system. However, its not that simple. Total centralization is first and foremost the dream of idiots, and in any mutation (or amputation) there is always considerable pain involved. The proponents of this New World Order (their words, not mine) seem to have placed the U.S. squarely in their crosshairs as the primary recipient of this fiscal pain. In my early analysis, I felt it possible that Japan would be inducted willingly into the new ASEAN trading bloc and that they would swiftly fall in line with a dump of the dollar, mainly because their export markets were suffering greatly due to the decline in American purchases. Now it appears that Japan has not been as pliable as the globalists wanted, and so, a war may be on the table in the Pacific. Rhetoric in Chinese newspapers has been very heated and provocative, and the tensions surrounding the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands is reaching a boiling point. The two countries have done everything so far EXCEPT shoot at each other, and that will be happening in due course now that China is allegedly locking offensive radar onto Japanese ships. Even Chinese films released in the past two years have been soaked with anti-Japan propaganda, most of them usually set during WWII around the brutal invasion and subjugation by the Japanese in Chinese provinces. I say again, China has surpassed the U.S. in global trade.

1	In cities across the nation, thousands of sports fans rallied together this weekend to demand the world provide them with something to purchase for $21.99, ideally something that would offer immediate enjoyment in addition to providing long-term keepsake value. 'Were tired of waiting around with our 22 disposable dollars, and we insist upon spending this money on a sports-related item,' local man Peter Kearsley said to a gathering of several thousand fans in Sandusky, OH, where a rally was organized through one of several hundred blogs and Facebook pages created in the past 24 hours and dedicated to things available for sports fans at a retail price of around $22. 'We are no longer satisfied with shirts, hats, and bumper stickers. There must be something, anything, that can both inform and entertain sports fans nationwide.' At press time, The Ecstasy Of Defeat, The selfnews's first-ever collection of sports reporting, was available for prepurchase at bookstores and online retailers for $21.99 or less. 
3	The Rush to Gold: A New Respect Is GrowingBy Guy Christopher Gold and silver owners in the first ten years of this new century were in for quite a ride, watching gold soar to $1,895 and silver to $49 by 2011. Even those who jumped in midway saw their paper money values zoom. Gold had bottomed at $255.95, Apr 2, 2001. Note the gold bull began months before the attacks of 9/11. Silver bottomed nine weeks after the attacks at $4.06, alongside crashing stock markets. The national debt in 2001 was $5.8 trillion, on its way to todays $20 trillion. Savers and retirees could depend on CD and bond returns well north of 5%. U.S. bonds were still triple-A rated. You could take your cash from your bank without federal snooping. War on cash was an unknown socio-economic term. No one predicted massive, taxpayer funded bail-outs, threats of bail-ins, or the terrible twins, ZIRP and NIRP zero and negative interest rates. While the DOW and SP languished in the agony of three crashes from March of 2000 through 2009, gold and silver got no respect from Wall Street or financial media. Thats despite gold doubling in paper money terms 2.8 times from 2001 to 2011. Silver had 3.5 doubles. Both metals had short-lived drops along the way. Thanks, in part, to the top-down manipulation of bullion bank price suppression, gold steadily fell 55% and silver 72% from 2011 through 2015. Supply and demand played no role. Governments and banks did a superb job protecting the illusion paper money still has value. But no market goes up or down forever. After years of massive money printing, destructive interest rates, and a planet swamped in uncounted trillions of debt, the pendulum is swinging back to gold and silvers bull. Gold at $1280 is up 200 bucks (21%) since mid-December, with silver gaining 25% in the same period. Mining stock shares, more speculative than bullion, are up well over 100% since the first of the year. Higher risk, higher reward. Beltway insider Jim Rickards, among others, says gold could hit $10,000 per ounce, and higher. Silver specialist Ted Butler believes bullion banks are quietly reversing course, positioning for the inevitable resumption of the precious metals bull. If the money masters truly mean to steal all the worlds wealth, its reflected in the rush to gold. They are the ones rushing the fastest. Reports everywhere say the mega-wealthy individuals, investment firms, corporations and governments are piling into gold. True, those buying paper gold instead of physical are traveling bad roads using old maps, but at least theyve found the right continent. No less than former Bank of England chief Mervyn King has joined Alan Greenspan in praising gold, effectively criticizing their own obvious failures to rule the world with massive paper printing. Central banksters havent worked in tandem since they nervously flipped from selling gold to buying gold on the heels of the 2008 meltdown. The cartels pricing command is crumbling, as have all past schemes that ignored market fundamentals. Deutschebank has pleaded guilty to high crimes and treason against sound money, and is turning on other cartel members. Every major bank in the world has paid civil fines for rigging every economic market, though no one has yet gone to jail. China, once cheered as the worlds supplier of cheap junk, is now better known for gobbling up every ounce of gold it can find. Canadas Bank of Montreal has opened a physical gold trust for savers and investors specifying no paper gold allowed. The London Royal Mint has created a gold-based pension fund. The University of Texas Retirement System has held physical gold for years. Utah and Texas have embraced gold and silver as legal, everyday currency. Other states are watching. Texas is building a gold depository, shouting loudly it doesnt trust The Fed. National mints across the globe are reporting record sales of bullion coins. Dominating the headlines, the presidential campaigns of both anti-establishment candidates, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, are described as revolutions. Not exactly Bunker Hill and Yorktown, but remember, American Independence came long after the 1773 Boston Harbor tea party. Open talk of revolution is telling you things are about to change. Listen closely. All of us will live in an entirely new world, for better or worse, in just five months. That may explain why the guy who pulls Europes purse strings, Jean-Claude Juncker, showed up drunk for a public relations photo-op, providing us a glimpse into the murky world of secret, imperial economic rule. The lesson we should have learned by now is to value precious metal as stand alone, private wealth, not dependent on paper money games played during drunken plots of money masters. Rising gold and silver simply means the dollars influence is falling. Paper dollars may not disappear in your lifetime, but the value of that paper is vanishing every minute of your life through government-planned inflation. Does good news for gold signal bad news everywhere else? Hyperinflation? Worldwide chaos? Maybe. But if so, then its seriously bad news for those who have no gold or silver, or not enough.

1	In a stunning discovery that archaeologists hope might shed light on the little-known years between Jesus Christs childhood and his ministry, the Israel Antiquities Authority uncovered Monday what they believe to be the site where, in the years before he began his itinerant preaching, a desperate, cash-strapped Christ briefly turned tricks for money. Excavators working in the Beit Hanina neighborhood of Jerusalem unveiled fragments of several earthenware vessels, an 18-seat public latrine hewn from stone and terra cotta piping dating to Jesus era, along with a curbed Roman road that served as a main artery of ancient Judea, where the fledgling, hard-up prophet is believed to have cruised for johns passing by on donkeys, wagons, and chariots. Its an incredible find, and one that confirms many of our long-held theories about Christs so-called lost years, said the digs head archaeologist, Aviram Oshri, who went on to note that while Christs hooking is not referenced in the New Testament, suggestions that he resorted to the flesh trade abound in historical records of the period. This intersection is an exact match for the area described in ancient texts, where Jesus is said to have flagged down lonely men traveling from Yafa and offered his wares in public commodes. This would have been before Christ had many followers, of course, Oshri added. Some of his earliest followers were clients, actually. The young Christ, like many adrift Hebrew males, is believed to have turned to sex work around 19 A.D. as a coping mechanism during a bout of homelessness. Though implicitly prohibited by Jewish law, prostitution was prevalent in ancient Judea, with sex workers trading their services for cloth, fowl, wine, and small coins, a transaction that Christ is believed to have executed hundreds of times during a short period of time in his 20s. According to historians, intercrural sexa type of non-penetrative sex in which the male inserts his lubricated penis between his partners thighswas en vogue during Christs day, and it is the form most of his trysts were believed to have taken. Fellatio was also preferred whenever possible, to stave off disease and wear. Weve made key finds in this area since the second temple period, but never this early, which is why finding the area where a luckless vagrant Jesus probably trolled for sex is such a remarkable discovery, Osrhi said, adding that Christs Hidden Yearsthe period from his appearance at the temple as a 12-year-old boy and his subsequent reappearance as a 30-year-old spiritual leader at his baptismhave long been shrouded in mystery due to lack of archaeological evidence substantiating the rumors of a Judean red light district. Unraveling the mystery of Christs formative years is exhilarating work that sheds light on him not just as a prophet, but as a person. A very confused person. And if some of the lewd messages scrawled on the walls of this public commode are to be believed, a quite popular person as well, Osrhi added. 
2	SHOCK: Trump Makes Surprising Announcement About His VP... Youre Gonna Love This According to recent reports, Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions is suspected to be GOP presidential candidate Donald Trumps top choice for a running mate, with less than a month until the Republican National Convention. Newmaxs John Gizzi recently revealed that sources close to the candidate say Sessions is the top of the list at the moment. The square Sessions seems to fit many square holes for Trump: hes conservative and nails down the partys right flank, he endorsed Trump early and has been extremely loyal, he has Washington legislative experiencea key requirementand important, he can be totally trusted never to criticize Trump no matter what he might say in the coming months, Gizzi commented. The selection will reassure conservatives, G. Terry Madonna, a top pollster in Pennsylvania wrote. Sessions is one of the more conservative senatorsthat should be reassuring to economic conservatives and the religious right. Sessions reportedly scores 80 percent on the Heritage Action scorecard, well above the average of 58 percent for Republicans. As if that werent enough, he hits over 94 percent in the lifetime rating for the American Conservative Union. Sessions top issues have been illegal immigration, Obamacare, and abortion. And Trump has made it very clear that political experience is one of his top qualifications for a running made. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has also been named as a potential running mate. With either choice, Trump and his running mate would be the oldest ever to seek the Oval Officer. Trump just turned 70, Sessions is 69, and Gingrich is 73. Nothing is set in stone at the moment, however. Trump is likely planning to make his big reveal at the convention, which begins on July 18. 
2	Teachers In Utah Now Trained And Carrying To Protect Students The Utah Shooting Sports Council gave a free shooting and gun safety lesson to these teachers who are trying to protect our children. After the class the students were given the chance to pay $49 to obtain a concealed carry license, which by Utah law would permit them to carry in school. The class continued a tradition born in 200 by the Council of providing free classes to teachers and faculty. A shooter who wants to end his life via suicide but take a whole bunch of other people with him, probably wants to pick a place to exact that evil plan without getting return fire, Utah Shooting Sports Council Clark Aposhian told KSL. We are hoping to show that Utah schools and universities are not a place to do that. We need to allow teachers, bus drivers, librarians and others to carry firearms if we are serious about protecting our kids, he added. Elementary school teacher Janette Pocock said she feels better about dealing with a crisis situation since the class. Crises happen, she told KSL. Its one thing to hide and be quiet, but there are times when people break into those classrooms, and if you have a gun, youre more likely to be able to handle that at the same level as the shooter than if you are just covered by chairs. Bizpac Review Should all teachers be equipped with the same skills and weapons to protect our children? 
3	What Does U.S. Treasury Do With Vaccine Excise Taxes It Collects?By Catherine J. Frompovich That Trust Fund is financed by a $0.75 excise tax on each vaccine active recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. On multi-valent vaccines, i.e., those containing more than one disease active e.g., trivalent vaccines like MMR, DTaP, etc., then 75 cents is paid for each valent, or a total of $2.25 for a 3-valent vaccine. Now, heres an interesting aspect: The U.S. Department of Treasury collects those excise taxes and also manages the Trust Funds investments. Investments? Sounds like there should be quite a stash in that Trust Fund portfolio since the U.S. Vaccine court has paid out just over $3 Billion [$3,159,410,649.38] [1] in claims and attorneys fees as of June 30, 2015. That got me to wondering what the Vaccine Injury Trust Fund is valued at; where the money is invested; and that there should be an accounting of public record posted on the Internet. Keeping all the above facts, figures, and questions in mind, I decided to contact the Treasury Department to obtain just one figure or value: The asset balance of the Vaccine Injury Trust Fund as of the last fiscal year end. Searching Treasurys contact page, I made email contact with a bureaucrat [not naming names], who forwarded my email to another bureaucrat who, in turn, forwarded my email to another bureaucrat who turned out to be somewhat helpful. But, before I get to the help part, heres what readers ought to know what I wanted: Would you please direct me to where I can obtain the current asset balance of the Vaccine Excise Tax Trust Fund that funds the HRSA / Vaccine Court awards. I can find the amounts of awards paid out over the years, but Im having difficulty in finding how much has been paid into that Vaccine Excise Tax Trust Fund since its inception, over the years, and what its current asset value is/was as of 2014 or 2015 fiscal year. Thank you for your assistance and considerations to my request. Now, keep in mind these statistics according to VAERS: [2] Note coincidence is woven into Health and Human Services vaccine mythology. Can there be any correlation and causation, including coincidence, going on? I remember in the 1980s when vaccine mandates were being ramped up, as thats when SIDS starting appearing on the medical radar. Coincidence! Thats what got me interested in investigating vaccines and tracking them, since I was hearing from physicians and clients about those coincidences. Consider how many times mandated vaccines have been ramped up since 1953! Over three times the number of vaccines in the first six years of lifethe most important life-systems-forming years, since many bodily functions are not fully developed, especially the immune system until around two years of age. How much in excise taxes do all those vaccines contribute to the Trust Fund? Below are the stats for millions of doses of seasonal flu vaccines distributed in the USA. In 2010, there were just over 160 million flu shots contributing excise taxes to the Trust Fund, plus the other ten years contributions. There are so many additionally-mandated-vaccines and their excise taxes that the numbers are amazingly impossible to calculate without a very sophisticated analytical computer program, which I dont have. The two data sets above, though, ought to give readers some idea of the scope of vaccines sold in the USA along with the excise taxes collected by the U.S. Treasury. Trying to be conservative with what Treasury has collected as vaccine excise taxes since October 1, 1988 with only nominal payouts for several years, therefore, the trust fund asset balance, I estimate, ought to be in the neighborhood of $50 Billion. That aint chopped liver! Heres where the fun begins. Back on January 10, 2013 I wrote Vaccine Tax to Fund U.S. Deficit? wherein I stated, Additionally, I quoted Jeryl Bier of Speak With Authority [1] However, something didnt sift right with me, since the trust fund balance in 2012 was $3.5 Billion, and it was about the same amount at the end of fiscal 2014. Whats happened with all those excise taxes collected on every vaccine active distributed each and every year? According to 26 U.S. Code 9510-Vaccine Injury Compensation Trust Fund: So, the last bureaucrat at Treasury, who responded, was helpful insofar as I was sent an email with a link that proved rather interesting to me. Well, after accessing the pdf above, I had some very pointed questions to ask since some figures just didnt seem to jive to my way of thinking, so I sent off a follow-up email that said: Today, I finally was able to get time to study the file (Vaccine Injury Trust Fund) you kindly emailed me, and for which I thank you very much. However, I have some questions Id like answered, as I seem to be confused. Page 4 indicates Page 5 indicates Which I assume is just for the FYE 6/30/14. Can someone confirm that my assumption is correct, please? However, the Trial Balance for 6/30/14 on Page 4 shows an ending balance of ZERO, which means that at the end of Fiscal 6/30/14 the accounts carried forward would start over from zero on July 1, 2014, but accumulate balances going forward. So, heres what I dont seem to understand, and can you or someone please explain in writing so I can get it: Were the over $3+ Billion in Investments in US Treasury Securities generated within the fiscal year July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014? Or, is that $3+Billion Investments figure a cumulative figure from years past? If the $3+Billion is just from FYE 6/30/14, then I would imagine that each years income/profit would be added to the portfolio investment with other balances and investments accruing from 1986 forward to the present. Or, doesnt U.S. Treasury do that? Are the collected vaccine taxes, income, and investments written off to a zero balance each year with the vaccine tax money kept by the U.S. government and dispersed to other federal agencies or investments? It would seem to me that there ought to be a running investment portfolio balance from 1986 to 2015 that could amount, maybe, close to $85+ Billion, if each year balances [29 years: 1986 to2015] were not written off to zero. Do you see why Im confused? The figure that Im looking for is the vaccine taxes collected on all vaccines sold in the USA that have been put into the Vaccine Injury TRUST Fund over 29 years and not balanced out to zero. Thank you for pointing me in the correct direction to find that number. Its only one number that Im looking for, and that should be easy to find and provide, I would imagine. Thanks again for your help. - Needless to say, Ive never heard back from any bureaucrat at Treasury, nor had anyone follow-up with me to file a Freedom of Information Act request. I wonder why. What happened to If so, I have a FOIA contact at Fiscal Service that I can put you in touch with? However, this foray into vaccine excise taxes has left me with wondering what the real reason is behind having all adults receive catch-up childrens vaccines. Are vaccines more of a hidden money-maker for Uncle Sam than anyone ever suspected? But, how is that money used? Off-budget?

2	US Olympic Volleyball Star Enrages Liberals With 1 Sentence Just Before Match Three-time gold medalist and Olympian Kerry Walsh-Jennings has made a name for herself on the volleyball court, but she claims that there is another part of her life that has brought the most fulfillment. Walsh-Jennings was 11 weeks pregnant during the 2012 Olympics in London when she won her third gold medal. In a recent interview, she said her children have added a whole new meaning and purpose to her life since then. I feel like I was born to have babies and play volleyball, she said in a comment on NBC. That statement was met with immediate backlash on Twitter. And now a package about Kerri Walsh Jennings: I was born to have babies. Is Donald Trump running the network now? Get it together, Paula Dixon wrote. Others were more supportive of her message. Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings gets it: children do not keep us from pursuing our dreams! A Womans Concern commented. Walsh-Jennings continued on to say there has been no comparison between her life before and after having children. Before I had more kids, I was like, this feels trivial, she said. Id been playing for so long, and I was like I need balance. All my eggs are in this one basket and its very self-centered and self-focused. Walsh-Jennings also claims she owes a lot of her success to her children. They gave me that perspective and balance I thought I was missing. It took my game and my desire and my passion for life to the next level. I am hugely indebted to my children, she concluded. Do you applaud Walsh-Jennings for speaking her mind? 
1	Apparently oblivious to the dire implications of the news he had just received, North Hagerstown High School senior Kevin Grant took his rejection from his first-choice college in stride as if his entire future were not over, sources confirmed Thursday. According to reports, the 18-year-old, who graduates in six weeks and no longer has any hope of leading a happy, fulfilling life, remains relaxed and even upbeat despite his failure to gain admittance to Tufts University, the school that represented his only chance of achieving success of any kind in life. It sucks, but the good news is I did get accepted to Rutgers and Maryland, which are both really solid schools, said Grant, somehow managing a smile even though his inability to attend his top-choice university has obliterated any possibility he will ever get into a good graduate school, embark on a satisfying career, or make enough money to support himself, let alone a family. Tufts was probably a long shot, anyway, but Im still glad I applied. Im sure Ill be happy wherever I end up, added the student destined for a life of limited opportunities, unending frustration, and bitterness. Though every time he is turned down for a job in the coming decades he will inevitably stop a moment to wonder if things would have gone differently had he earned a degree from his preferred college, Grant reportedly hasnt let it get him down. College is what you make of it, and who knows? Maybe this will turn out to be a blessing in disguise. In fact, friends and family told reporters that the young man, who will soon be relegated to a lower social classwhich will severely limit who he interacts with for the rest of his life and restrict the pool of romantic prospects with whom he can start a familyhas maintained a positive attitude since opening the letter from the admissions office. According to accounts, Grant has continued to go about his day as normal, seemingly unaware that he has no choice but to keep working his current retail job at the Valley Mall for the rest of his days, with no expectation of ever getting a promotion or earning more than $11 per hour. Sure, Im disappointed, but its not the end of the world, Grant said of the crushing blow to every single one of his long-cherished personal aspirations, including owning a home and traveling outside of his greater hometown area. After all, Tufts is a really expensive school, and it might not have been the best fit. In any case, Im going to be fineits no big deal, he erroneously added. Completely ignoring the fact that his educational disadvantage and lack of professional contacts will mean hell always be plagued by a low bank balance, struggle to pay bills throughout his life, and never be able to save enough to retire, Grant has been overheard voicing delusions about how there are plenty of schools out there that can provide him with just as many opportunities as his first-choice school would have. In a way, I might actually be better off going to another school, he said in a statement that presumes he will become a functioning member of society and not a sad wreck of a human being forced to spend the next 70 years sitting on the sidelines as his old friends pursue dreams he long ago abandoned for himself. College is what you make of it, and who knows? Maybe this will turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Reached for comment, Grants parents said they are proud of their son no matter what, as if they havent made tremendous sacrifices to provide him with the opportunity he has just blown, destroying everything his family has worked for generations to achieve. 
3	US Government Finally Admits Agent Orange Poisoned TroopsBy Carey Wedler The United States government will pay out $45 million in disability benefits over ten years to compensate Air Force reservists and active-duty forces who were exposed to Agent Orange left over from the Vietnam War. The exposure came from residue on Fairchild C-123 aircraft, which were used to spray millions of gallons of the chemical, and, evidently, affected soldiers in the United States who later handled the planes from 1969-1986. According to ABC, the VAs decision to compensate the 2,100 veterans follows a January Institute of Medicine study that found some C-123 reservists stationed in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts had been exposed to Agent Orange residues in the planes and suffered higher risks of health problems as a result. Further, the VA said it subsequently determined that pilots, mechanics and medical personnel who served at seven other locations in the U.S. and abroad also were potentially affected Florida, Virginia, and Arizona, as well as Taiwan, Panama, South Korea and the Philippines. The VA has previously acknowledged (and made compensations for) the chemicals health effects on soldiers directly exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam and Korea. However, considering the 2,100 veterans did not even visit Vietnam but were merely exposed to planes that sprayed the chemical, the departments decision to pay the new set of veterans is a silent admission of just how toxic the chemical is. This is a marked shift, as the VA previously refused to compensate certain naval veterans who claimed they suffered Agent Orange-inflicted health conditions because of their time stationed off the coast of Vietnam. There is no doubt about the toxicity of Agent Orange. Even the government details a wide range of diseases caused by exposure to the herbicide, including (but not limited to) Parkinsons Disease, prostate cancer, respiratory cancers of the lung, larynx, trachea, and bronchus, Hodgkins Disease, Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, Leukemia, Type 2 Diabetes and Ischemic Heart Disease. The effects of exposure to Agent Orange are also passed on to the children of victims. While veteran exposure to Agent Orange is tragic and the compensation is warranted, the U.S. government has failed to make reparations for exposing countless Vietnamese civilians to the herbicide in its attempt to clear forest and crops during the war. According to the Vietnamese Red Cross, nearly one million Vietnamese were affected by the 19 million gallons sprayedincluding generations of children born with debilitating birth defects. Unfortunately, while the payout is the least the government can do, it constitutes yet another subsidy for the Monsanto corporation. As if the military had not done the company enough favors by buying millions of gallons of its herbicide during the Vietnam War, it now pays millions to deal with the devastating effects of those military-industrial purchases. Between Congress passing legislation in favor of the conglomeration, its stranglehold on the FDA, and the justice system codifying its power, it is unsurprising that Monsanto has also used the military to reap profits and avoid accountabilitya defining characteristic of the loathed corporation. Such subservience to corporate interests has undermined any commitment to justice or rationality. As retired Air Force Major Wesley T. Carter (whose C-123 Veterans Association spearheaded the fight to attain compensation) said, As ABC detailed, other veterans groups expressed tempered relief, expressing hope it would signal a new government willingness to acknowledge a wider range of toxic health risks undertaken by military personnel, such as Gulf War neurotoxins and burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan.

3	Western Pennsylvania Bridges Are CrumblingDigby Jones Unfortunately, the high concentration of steel bridges in the Pittsburgh area only showcases the city as a prime example of a serious problem that is affecting the entire United States. Our national infrastructure is literally falling to pieces. Trillions of dollars are utilized to fund aggressive and imperialist wars across the Middle East and Asia, because apparently that is a far more important priority for the federal government than keeping our nations infrastructure up to a safe and well-maintained 1st world standard. Can you imagine how much the transportation authorities of 3rd world countries like China and Turkey, who have both introduced modern and extensive high-speed rail networks in the early 21st century, must be laughing their faces off at a story like this?

1	In the wake of several major lobbying scandals, the Senate Select Committee on Ethics announced Tuesday that it will hold a special series of intensive sessions inside its recently completed 200-room Ethics Mansion. The ethics committee's mountain estate. 'In this time of rampant corruption, it is essential that we have a sufficiently lavish setting in which to enforce laws that ensure the integrity of public officials,' said committee member Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AR), wearing a gold-lined cashmere robe donated by pharmaceutical lobbyists. The mansion, a sprawling neo-Gothic manor located on 4,500 acres just off Maryland's Chesapeake Bay, was completed last month. Adorned with gold plumbing fixtures and 16th-century Flemish tapestries, the estate boasts three tennis courts, two Olympic-size swimming pools, nearly a dozen hot tubs, both dry and wet saunas, a massage center and day spa, an 18-hole golf course, a helipad, and the only erotica-themed topiary garden on the East Coast. Committee members say the isolated environment allows them to tackle weighty ethical issues without the distractions, temptations, and conflicts of interest that pervade Washington culture. 'When one needs to ruminate on, say, improper gift-giving to government officials by corporations or corrupt foreign officials, it's in the public interest to do so in a quiet retreat,' said chairman of the ethics committee Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH), sitting in an overstuffed leather armchair provided by the Ohio Beef Council. 'Ideally with an 83-year-old scotch and a good Cuban cigar in hand.' Due to the rigor of the extended sessions, several members of the ethics committee have sequestered themselves in the Ethics Mansion's private suites, where they are isolated from their families and assisted only by the mansion's staff of well-trained servants. Certain wings of the mansion were designed to remind senators of the significance of their duties. 'If we want to contemplate the role of religion in secular politics, we have a beautiful, gold-trimmed private chapel in which to do so, kindly provided by the Boston diocese of the Catholic Church,' Sen. Ken Salazar (D-CO) said. The thorny question of lobbyist gift-giving is posed in the Evidence Wing, where lobbyists have voluntarily come forward with hundreds of millions of dollars in ethics-violation-related evidence, including ermine coats, Aston Martin sports cars, and attach cases filled with cash. The committee, which is currently addressing allegations that individual senators have been unduly influenced by the Recording Industry Association of America, has been debating the question at length in its fully equipped library and home theater. Senate ethics-committee members Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH), Pat Roberts (R-KS), and Ken Salazar (D-CO) reflect on important issues of political integrity. 'It's crucial that we be able to review all the evidence in Sony's bribery case in a grand theater with high-definition 5.1 surround-sound, the Ethics Girls, and state-of-the-art digital projection,' said Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS). 'Here on Ethics Hill, we spare no expense in the fight against ethics violations.' Funds for the ethics-deliberation facility were provided by a broad coalition of K Street lobbyists and special-interest groups, which the committee has fined a staggering $920 million since 2002, of which $375 million was used to build and outfit the estate. Surprisingly, the fines were not levied through court order but donated voluntarily. 'For us, it's an investment in the public trust,' said tobacco lobbyist Clayton Dempsey, whose years of experience with ethics-committee investigations related to influence-peddling and involvement in campaign-finance improprieties were of great value to the committee. In January, the committee subpoenaed embattled lobbyist Jack Abramoff and former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay for an aggressive interrogation and golf outing on the estate's course. Although some government watchdog groups opposed the construction of the lavish mansion, committee members say it is vital to their work. 'An ethics case involving, say, a major South African mining interest can be very complex, with many facetslike this beautiful diamond,' Sen. Craig Thomas (R-WY) said, holding a plum-size diamond aloft. He added: 'You need to take the time to turn it over in your hand and pore over its every exquisite detail before you can ever hope to understand it.' 
2	Shocking Biblical Prophecy Comes To Fruition... Have You Seen This? According to recent reports, it appears that scientists may have discovered proof that Noahs Ark could actually be a tangible part of history. In 1959, Turkish army captain Llhan Durupinar discovered a strange shape while examining aerial photos of his country. The shape was smoother, and larger than a football feel. Yet it was right in the middle of rough and rocky terrain, near the border of Iran. The land was originally part of the Kingdom of Armenia, which has been deemed the first Christian nation. While Capt. Durupinar was familiar with the story of Noah, he did not want to jump to any conclusions that would not be received well by the public. He decided to forward the image to aerial photography expert Dr. Brandenburger from Ohio State University. I have no doubt at all, that this object is a ship, Brandenburger, who was responsible for discovering Cuban missile bases, concluded. In my entire career, I have never seen an object like this on a stereo photo. Still, the object remained a mystery. That is until Ron Wyatt decided to visit the site in 1977. He obtained official permission to conduct research in the area. Using metal detection surveys, subsurface radar scans, and chemical analysisthey were able to determine that this was, in fact, a ship. What do you think? Could this be evidence of Noahs Ark? 
1	Saying that the species has thus far defied all scientific projections, stunned officials from the Marine Conservation Institute announced Tuesday that the past half century of climate change and habitat loss somehow hasnt managed to take down the goddamned parrotfish. According to conservation biologists, rising ocean temperatures, increased runoff of chemicals into coastal waters, and the decimation of coral reefs havent even come close to putting these vibrantly colored tropical sons of bitches on the endangered list, let alone succeeded in wiping them out completely. Considering the unprecedented disruption to their ecosystems, the parrotfish should have been eradicated years ago, but remarkably, these little bastards are still around, said Dr. Elliott Norse, the institutes chief scientist, noting that overfishing alone ought to have done in the shallow-water ocean dweller 10 times over. Im just shocked that with all the oil spills, greenhouse gas emissions, and God knows what else were throwing at them, we havent finished them off yet. Not by a long shot. Our statistical models predicted they would all be long gone by now, he continued. But these suckers just keep hanging on. Every couple years we check, and theyre still fucking there. Its unbelievable. While population estimates indicate that the fishs numbers are not as high as they used to be, scientists confirmed that the aquatic creatures are nonetheless flourishing like you would not goddamn believe. Additionally, researchers acknowledged that even though pollution from fertilizers, pesticides, and wastewater is helping to kill off the reefs upon which parrotfish depend for survival, these resilient foot-long fuckers can still be found, scraping by, throughout the Indo-Pacific and Caribbean regions. According to marine scientists, you would think that widespread habitat destructiona phenomenon that only took a couple decades to absolutely obliterate the now-extinct Tecopa pupfishwould have put the parrotfish out of commission too, but nope, it sure hasnt. Seriously, whats it going to take to kill these things? said Norse, who explained that parrotfish must have some serious balls to have survived the devastating effects of global warming and ocean acidification. Every piece of evidence we have suggests they should be belly-up, washing up on the goddamn shore. Years back, we looked at these fishwhich, by the way, dont even have the benefit of protected statusand immediately thought, Okay, these guys are goners. Seemed like a no-brainer, you know? Well, dont we look like a bunch of idiots now? he added. I gotta hand it to em, though. Theyre persistent little shits. At press time, scientists confirmed that despite the rising sea levels, marine debris, industrial effluents, climate stress, natural predation, and hurricanes, those little cocksuckers are still plugging right along and will probably outlive us all. 
3	Native Activist Leonard Peltier Calls for Clemency SupportBy Derrick Broze On June 26, 1975, members of the American Indian Movement (AIM) were involved in a gun fight with agents of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. When the exchange of gunfire was finished three men were dead Special Agents Jack R. Coler and Ronald A. Williams of the FBI and Joe Stuntz, a member of AIM. On February 6, 1976, AIM member Leonard Peltier would be arrested and extradited from Canada after being accused of being the one who fired the shots that killed Coler and Williams. Peltier was born on September 12, 1944 in Grand Forks, North Dakota. He is a Turtle Mountain Chippewa on his fathers side, and a Dakota Sioux on his mothers. Peltier spent his childhood on the Turtle Mountain reservation near Belcourt, North Dakota before moving to Seattle, Washington. In the 1970s he would get involved in Native activism and join the American Indian Movement. For the last 50 years, AIM has led the charge in the Red Power movement that calls attention to the injustices and oppression taking place against Native communities. AIM established itself as a force to be reckoned with through a series of protests and occupations during the late 1960s and 1970s. These actions included the 19-month occupation of Alcatraz Island, the 1972 Trail of Broken Treaties and occupation of the Bureau of Indian Affairs building, the 1973 Wounded Knee Incident, the occupation of Mount Rushmore, the Longest Walk, and the gunfight on the Pine Ridge reservation. Although Peltier was convicted of first degree murder in 1977, and subsequently sentenced to two consecutive life sentences, his role in the murders has been the subject of controversy since the very beginning. Special Agents Coler and Williams originally came to the Pine Ridge Reservation in search of a man named Jimmy Eagle who was wanted for questioning in an assault and robbery case. The two agents were driving separate unmarked vehicles while following a red pick-up truck which matched a description of Jimmy Eagle. Williams and Coler would later report that they were under fire from occupants of the truck and unable to return fire. The men radioed that they would likely be killed if reinforcements did not arrive. Once the gunfight ended, the FBI began investigating and looking for someone to pin the murders on. Leonard Peltier was at the reservation but has always maintained that he was innocent. To be certain, over the years Peltier has given different alibis to different people. Peltier was reported to be driving a vehicle that was red and white and was wanted for questioning. After being added to the FBIs Ten Most Wanted Fugitives he went to live in Alberta, Canada. On February 6, 1976, he was arrested and extradited from Canada. His arrest was conducted based on signed affidavits from Myrtle Poor Bear, a local woman from the Pine Ridge Reservation. In the affidavits Poor Bear claimed to have been dating Peltier at the time and also claimed to have witnessed the murders. In 2000, 25 years later, Myrtle Poor Bear admitted she had been forced to make the confessions. I was forced into this, and I feel very awful. I just wish that Leonard Peltier will get out of prison, Myrtle Poor Bear confessed in 2000. Now, on the 40th anniversary of the murders, Leonard Peltier has released a letter calling for support and asking President Obama to grant him clemency and release him from prison. He also spoke of his declining health and the need to act quick to get him proper treatment (see below for the full letter). My health issues still have not been thoroughly addressed, and I still have not gotten the results of the MRI done over a month ago for the abdominal aortic aneurysm, Peltier writes. As the last remaining months of President Obamas term pass by, my anxiety increases. I believe that this President is my last hope for freedom, and I will surely die here if I am not released by January 20, 2017. In May 2016, Jasmine Heiss, senior campaigner for Amnesty International USAs Individuals at Risk Campaign, asked Is it time to free Native American activist Leonard Peltier?. The long and complicated case history reveals a pattern of misconduct by the FBI, including the coercion of an alleged eyewitness, suppression of potentially exculpatory evidence and deep concerns about the agencys political motivation for so zealously pursuing the case, Heiss wrote. The U.S. Parole Commission has acknowledged to Peltier the lack of any direct evidence that you personally participated in the executions of two FBI agents. In Amnesty Internationals 2010 annual report, Peltiers case was also placed under the Unfair Trials category. As of 2016, Leonard Peltier is incarcerated at the United States Penitentiary, Coleman in Florida. His next scheduled parole hearing will be in July 2024. Barring appeals, parole or presidential pardon, his projected release date is October 11, 2040. Find out how you can help achieve Peltiers freedom here whoisleonardpeltier.info Sisters, brothers, friends and supporters: June 26th marks 41 years since the long summer day when three young men were killed at the home of the Jumping Bull family, near Oglala, during a firefight in which I and dozens of others participated. While I did not shoot (and therefore did not kill) FBI agents Ronald Williams and Jack Coler, I nevertheless have great remorse for the loss of their young lives, the loss of my friend Joe Stuntz, and for the grieving of their loved ones. I would guess that, like me, many of my brothers and sisters who were there that day wish that somehow they could have done something to change what happened and avoid the tragic outcome of the shootout. This is not something I have thought about casually and then moved on. Its something I think about every day. As I look back, I remember the expressions of both fear and courage on the faces of my brothers and sisters as we were being attacked. We thought we were going to be killed! We defended our elders and children as they scattered for protection and to escape. Native people have experienced such assaults for centuries, and the historical trauma of the generations was carried by the people that day and in the communities that suffered further trauma in the days that followed the shootout, as the authorities searched for those of us who had escaped the Jumping Bull property. As the First Peoples of Turtle Island, we live with daily reminders of the centuries of efforts to terminate our nations, eliminate our cultures, and destroy our relatives and families. To this day, everywhere we go there are reminders souvenirs and monuments of the near extermination of a glorious population of Indigenous Peoples. Native Peoples as mascots, the disproportionately high incarceration of our relatives, the appropriation of our culture, the never-ending efforts to take even more of Native Peoples land, and the poisoning of that land all serve as reminders of our history as survivors of a massive genocide. We live with this trauma every day. We breathe, eat and drink it. We pass it on to our children. And we struggle to overcome it. Like so many Native children, I was ripped away from my family at the age of 9 or so and taken away to get the Indian out of me at a boarding school. At that time, Native Peoples were not able to speak our own languages for fear of being beaten or worse. Our mens long hair, which is an important part of our spiritual life, was forcibly cut off in an effort to shame us. Our traditional names were replaced by new European-American names. These efforts to force our assimilation continue today. Not long ago, I remember, a Menominee girl was punished and banned from playing on the schools basketball team because she taught a classmate how to say hello and I love you in her Native language. We hear stories all the time about athletes and graduates who face opposition to wearing their hair long or having a feather in their cap. With this little bit of my personal history in mind, I think it is understandable that I would then, as a young person in the 1960s and 70s, be active in the Indigenous struggle to affirm our human, civil, and treaty rights. Our movement was a spiritual one to regain our ceremonies and traditions and to exercise our sovereignty as native or tribal nations. For over 100 years some of our most important ceremonies could not be held. We could not sing our songs or dance to our drum. When my contemporaries and I were activists, there were no known sun dances. Any ceremony that took place had to be hidden for fear of reprisals. One of our roles as activists for the welfare of our Peoples was to create space and protection for Native peoples who were trying to reconnect to our ancient cultures and spiritual life. This was dangerous and deadly. It meant putting our lives on the line because people who participated in these ceremonies, and people who stood up for our elders and our traditional way of life, were brutally beaten, killed or disappeared. Paramilitary groups and death squads ruled some reservations and each day was a battle. If an uninvited, unknown or unrecognized vehicle pulled up to your house, the first reaction was that you were being visited by someone who meant to do you harm in some way. This was learned behavior on the reservations. This was excruciatingly true in the 1970s. Hey, I dont want to be all doom and gloom here. I see over the decades that in some important ways, life has improved for our Peoples. President Obamas extraordinary efforts to forge a strong relationship with our Tribal Nations is good cause for a new sense of optimism that our sovereignty is more secure. By exercising our sovereignty, life for our people might improve. We might begin to heal and start the long journey to move past the trauma of the last 500 years. But what will we do if the next Administration rolls back those gains made over the past 8 years? I often receive questions in letters from supporters about my health. Yes, this last year has been particularly stressful for me and my family. My health issues still have not been thoroughly addressed, and I still have not gotten the results of the MRI done over a month ago for the abdominal aortic aneurysm. As the last remaining months of President Obamas term pass by, my anxiety increases. I believe that this President is my last hope for freedom, and I will surely die here if I am not released by January 20, 2017. So I ask you all again, as this is the most crucial time in the campaign to gain my freedom, please continue to organize public support for my release, and always follow the lead of the International Leonard Peltier Defense Committee. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do on my behalf. In the Spirit of Crazy Horse Doksha, Leonard Peltier Derrick Broze is an investigative journalist and liberty activist.

3	Syrian Opposition Officially Abandons UN Peace PlanUN fails to condemn rebel armys pledge to expand violence. Note: It is curious that the West is so seemingly outraged by the massacre in Houla Syria when NATO has been committing such atrocities along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border for now well over a decade. Hundreds of civilians have been murdered by US drone attacks (here, here, here, and here) with the only difference seeming to be the manner in which these atrocities are reported US mass-murder downplayed, obfuscated and buried under terms like suspected militants while any death in Syria, regardless of evidence is boldly pronounced as the work of the Syrian government. One can only imagine the international outcry should the Syrian government have declared it was abandoning the UN-brokered cease-fire and was resolved to dealing with its opponents in the only language they understand, violence. However, the Syrian government has not abandoned the ceasefire, and has played host to hundreds of UN monitors. Instead, it is the opposition making such claims claims that have gone unchallenged by the so-called international community. Since the beginning of the UN mission led by Kofi Annan, an open conspirator with the very foreign-interests on record intentionally seeking to destabilize and overthrow the Syrian government, the West has berated Syria for violating the ceasefire, even as they openly armed and encouraged the rebels to carry on their campaign of violence. Reuters reported at one point that the Syrian rebels were overtly shifting to indiscriminate terrorist bombings during this ceasefire, which have claimed scores of lives, and left hundreds maimed, mostly civilians. Again, the UN and the international community gave only the vaguest condemnations, never mentioning or addressing the opposition directly. These bombs have even been directed at the UN monitors themselves, with the West, France specifically, then inexplicably condemning the Syrian government for not doing enough to provide security. It is clear that both the UN and NATO have determined that regime change will take place, and the violence unfolding in Syria will be used as a tool, regardless of the reality on the ground, as a means of accomplishing this predetermined goal. The West declared the UN mission a failure before the first UN monitor stepped foot in Syria, using its massive media machine to convince the world that only force, either through terrorist proxies like the Free Syrian Army, or a direct military intervention by NATO itself, would solve the unrest. Clearly, looking at Libya, NATOs previous intervention, this too is an obvious fabrication. The UN is dangerously flirting with losing all credibility permanently by failing to condemn the Syrian oppositions open discarding of the UNs own peace plan, regardless of the excuse. The excuse the opposition is using is an alleged massacre in Houla, Syria, near Homs, where the Western media and the UN have already repeatedly backpedaled after claiming government troops shelled 90 people, or nearly a hundred including many children to death, only to retract these reports and admit the majority of the victims were killed by death squads, and reducing the body count to 85. The Western media has also conceded that Syrian government troops were not responsible for these deaths, but that it was the work of what they call pro-regime thugs. Despite this shifting reality, the resolve to punish the government regardless remains. Clearly sensationalized reporting was done in coordination with the Free Syrian Armys declaration of abandoning the peace plan for maximum effect. And as more evidence comes out of Houla after numerous false reports, it is becoming even more nebulous as to who is actually responsible, with many of the corpses bearing slashed throats, a tactic generally employed by Al Qaeda terrorists, known to be operating not only in the area, but side-by-side with the Free Syrian Army, against Syrian troops. Unlike in Libya, where the pace of military intervention moved faster than the publics awareness of the true nature of the Libyan rebels, that they were indeed violent, listed terrorist organizations committing horrific atrocities, the Syrian violence has dragged on allowing independent observers to see the full scope of the Free Syrian Army with even Western agencies and the UN itself having to concede they are guilty of an increasing array of atrocities and utilizing terrorist tactics to achieve what appear to be sectarian, not democratic objectives. Despite this, the UN is still playing along with Western ambitions to continue the narrative, even as the stage lies in ruins. It is left to Syria, its allies, and all nations interested in world peace, to condemn vocally the rebels for abandoning a ceasefire they never observed to begin with, and to recognize that any further aid, weapons, or support for such an opposition is the height of irresponsibility, sure to provoke, not prevent further bloodshed, and a crime against world peace.

1	In an attempt to silence party members who have criticized his record on illegal immigration as too weak, Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio reportedly responded to a question about border security during Thursday nights GOP debate by dragging the body of an undocumented worker he had knocked out cold onto the stage. Would someone whos unprepared to protect our nation from the influx of illegal immigrants do this? said a sweaty, out-of-breath Rubio, heaving the limp, unconscious body of a migrant turnip picker over his debate lectern for all to see. For anyone out there who thinks I wont take a hard stance against those entering our country illegally, have a good look at Humberto here. Things didnt end too well for him, did they? And I promise to crack down on all 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. with just as much strength and conviction when Im president. At press time, Rubio was silently responding to a question about how he would create more job opportunities for out-of-work Americans by repeatedly kicking the crumpled, inert migrant in the gut with his pointed wingtips. 
2	Obama Officials Ordering Soldiers To Throw Away Their Bibles, Admiral Has Different Plan [VIDEO] Anyone who knows a man or woman in uniform knows that the job can be extraordinarily taxing. For some, it is a constant battle whether to keep fighting or to give up. And in extreme cases when a soldier is contemplating suicide, or if they are facing death of any kind, they lean heavily on a Chaplain to discuss. Resources are limited however. In some cases, the Chaplain cannot make it to a soldier in time. According to one Rear Admiral, this is where the Bible comes in. If a man dying the rule says send him to the Chaplain; my hear says give this an a Bible, the Admiral says. Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

1	Seeking to ensure a second date with local woman Rebecca Murphy, marketing analyst Mark Klinger cleverly removed his right pinky finger during their date Saturday evening and intentionally left it between cushions in Murphys living room sofa, the 29-year-old confirmed to reporters this morning. I could tell as soon as I met Rebecca that I wanted to see her again, so when she got up to get a drink, I quickly chopped off my finger, tucked it into her couch, and then kept my hand in my pocket for the rest of the night so she wouldnt notice anything, said Klinger, explaining that he initially considered cutting off one of his legs and slipping it underneath the coffee table, but ultimately decided that Murphy might realize he was missing something when he got up to leave. Its the perfect plan. Now all I have to do to is call her and ask, Did I leave one of my fingers at your house? and Im guaranteed to see her again. Even if she says she hasnt seen it, I can say, Well, one of my fingers is gone and the last time I saw it was at your place. I really cant lose. At press time, an uninterested Murphy told Klinger that she would just leave the severed digit outside her front door for him to pick up while she was at work. 
3	Law enforcement accesses increasingly massive facial recognition databases with few legal standardsMadison Ruppert Facial recognition systems in the United States are on the rise thanks to a wide variety of initiatives including the FBI directly sharing facial recognition software with police departments while also deploying a $1 billion facial recognition system around the country. Since facial recognition systems are now capable of scanning 36 million faces per second and can be deployed on platforms ranging from drones to mannequins to border crossings and more, some have developed anti-facial recognition measures. Over 120 million people have already been placed in these photo databases which are used by law enforcement to identify suspects, accomplices and innocent bystanders despite the fact that they were originally billed as an attempt to prevent drivers license fraud, according to the Washington Post. While most probably would not object to facial recognition technology helping police find murderers, bank robbers and other criminals, the use extends far beyond that. In the past, police have tracked down suspects who have their images captured by surveillance cameras or on social media by comparing images with official photo databases. Yet current law enforcement use of facial searches has blurred the traditional boundary between criminal databases comprised of mugshots and the like and non-criminal databases. As I have reported previously, some of the systems indeed, a growing number give access to the FBI and other federal authorities and police can freely search the databases from the computers in their patrol cars. Such open access has caused a backlash in some of the few states where there has been a public debate, the Post reports. Where is government going to go with that years from now? asked Louisiana State Representative Brett Geymann, a Republican who has worked against the creation of cross-jurisdictional facial recognition systems in his state. Here your drivers license essentially becomes a national ID card, Geymann said. As the Post rightly points out, facial recognition is just one of the many biometric identification methods including monitoring a persons gait, irises, skin textures, vocal patterns, remote biometrics and more, many of which can be captured without the subjects knowledge. The Supreme Courts approval of warrantless DNA collection after arrests is important as well since it means even more data is being placed in centralized databases even when the suspect is never convicted. Facial recognition systems may be one of the most troubling because they are more pervasive and can be deployed remotely, without subjects knowing that their faces have been captured. Todays drivers-license databases, which also include millions of images of people who get non-driver ID cards to open bank accounts or board airplanes, typically were made available for police searches with little public notice, the Post reports. According to a review conducted by the Post, at least 37 states use facial recognition technology in their drivers license registries. At least 26 of those allow state, local or federal law enforcement agencies to search or request searches of photo databases as long as it is an attempt to learn the identity of someone believed to be relevant to an investigation. This is a tool to benefit law enforcement, not to violate your privacy rights, Scott McCallum said. McCallum is the head of the Pinellas County, Florida facial recognition unit which has built one of the countrys most advanced systems. While current technology doesnt provide law enforcement with definitive identifications, only investigative leads, research is aimed at raising the standard considerably. Research is focused on pushing the software to the point where it can reliably produce the names of people in the time it takes them to walk by a video camera, according to the Post. This has already been achieved in well-lit, controlled settings with relatively small databases of potential matches and these limitations are expected to be overcome in just a few years, according to experts. As a society, do we want to have total surveillance? Do we want to give the government the ability to identify individuals wherever they are without any immediate probable cause? asked Georgetown University law professor Laura Donohue, according to the Post. A police state is exactly what this turns into if everybody who drives has to lodge their information with the police, said Donohue, who has studied government facial databases. The Washington Posts in-depth article is definitely worth checking out for one perspective on this growing trend. With surveillance cameras becoming increasingly common and powerful, privacy treated with less respect and boundaries between various government agencies becoming nearly non-existent, the future looks increasingly unbelievable.

1	An estimated 450,000 unsold copies of Time's special April 22 Earth Day issue were trucked Monday from the magazine's New Jersey distribution center to the Fresh Kills landfill in Staten Island. A dumptruck unloads copies of <I>Time</I>'s recent Earth Day issue (below) at a Staten Island landfill. The discarded copies of the issuewhich features articles about conservation, biodiversity, and recycling, as well as guest editorials by President Clinton and Leonardo DiCaprioare expected to decompose slowly over the next 175 years. 'Unfortunately, 'Earth Day 2000' wasn't as successful as we had hoped,' Time managing editor Walter Isaacson said. 'After selling out of such special issues as 'The Future Of Medicine,' 'Baseball At 100,' 'The Kennedys: An American Dynasty,' and 'Celebrating The American Automobile,' we thought we had another winner with this one. But of a press run of 485,000, only 35,000 sold. I guess we overestimated the demand for a full-color, 98-page Earth Day issue printed on glossy, high-pulp paper.' Time: How To Save The Earth The enormous number of unsold copies created major headaches for both Time's distribution department and subcontractor Interstate Periodical Distributors. Some 1,300 semi trucks, many less than a third full due to isolated pick-up points, were needed to transport the 450,000 magazines from newsstands and bookstores across the U.S. to Time's main warehouse in Elizabeth, NJ. From there, the magazines were loaded onto 85 idling dumptrucks by gasoline-powered forklifts. Upon arriving at Fresh Kills, the world's largest landfill, the unsold issues were transformed into a 75-ton mountain of waste paper by a fleet of diesel bulldozers. 'Originally, our intent was to recycle any unsold copies of the issue after the subscription cards were taken out, the cover separated from the contents, the polystyrene-based glue baked off the binding, and the color photo sections separated from the print pages,' Time director of operations Christine Alarie said. 'But unfortunately, with the unexpectedly large number of issues we were dealing with, it just wasn't feasible.' A discarded copy of the Earth Day issue sits in an office garbage can in St. Joseph, MO. The three-acre section of Fresh Kills now made up entirely of Earth Day issues will slowly leak pollutants from the magazine's bleach, inks, and color-photo dye-sublimation chemicals into the soil. Isaacson stressed, however, that the threat of such contaminants pales in comparison to the dangers posed by disposable diapers, fast-food cartons, six-pack holders and, discarded batteriesenvironmentally hazardous consumer goods the Earth Day issue spoke out against and will eventually be covered by in the landfill. 'The American consumer had a choice to make: buy Time's Earth Day issue and dispose of it in an eco-friendly manner, or ignore its message by leaving it on the shelf,' Isaacson said. 'They made the choice to waste not only Time Warner's non-renewable resources, but the Earth's, as well.' 'As we said in the issue,' Isaacson said, 'people have no one to blame but themselves.' 
2	BREAKING: Hillary Clintons Email Scandal Finally ERUPTS She Is Finished Hillary Clinton claimed that she only used one e-mail address as Secretary of State. Turns out that was all a LIE. Hillarys staff assured the American public as well as Trey Gowdys staff that she only used one private email address. Here an exempt from her campaigns statement, released on March 10th: Secretary Clinton used one email account during her tenure at State, it read. David Kendall, one of Clintons attorneys, even refused to acknowledge existence of a second email address in a statement issued to Rep. Trey Gowdy the same month: As explained in my March 4th, 2015 email to your Staff Director and certain others, hrod17@clintonemail.com is not an address that existed during Secretary Clintons tenure as Secretary of State, the statement read. Then, this came out. Behold: An email from hrod17@clintonemail.com, dated April 8, 2011. Trey Gowdy is going to unleash on her now. Her chances for a presidential campaign are looking glib now. What do you think about the matter? Would you be happy if Hillary had to remove herself from running for president? 
1	LUSAKA, ZAMBIAIn a historic triumph for Zambia's African-African community, Bilikisu Adewale, a 49-year-old black man, was elected president Monday. Bilikisu Adewale waves to supporters after becoming the next black man ever to lead Zambia. 'Today is a great day for the people of Zambia,' Adewale told a cheering crowd in his 30-minute acceptance speech. 'But even more so, today represents a tremendous victory for this nation's black citizens, who came to the polls in full force to put one of their own in power.' 'I am overwhelmed,' Adewale added. 'This is truly precedented.' Addressing the largely black crowd, Adewale, who served as Zambia's Foreign Minister from 1998 to 2004, pledged to defend the interests of the nation's sizable black community. Among his chief campaign promises was to increase funding for schools in Zambia's inner cities, outer cities, and middle citiesareas with a high concentration of blacks. 'I grew up in an extremely poor, all-black section of Ndola and attended schools that were overcrowded and horribly equipped,' Adewale said. 'For many blacks of my generation, the experience was the same. I want every member of the current generation of black youths to read from new textbooks and learn in state-of-the-art facilities. We must leave no child behind.' As a further measure, Adewale said he planned to declare March 'Black History Month.' Throughout the month, he said, the nation will celebrate 'the remarkable and oft-overlooked contributions of Zambians of color.' 'Do you realize that in this nation of more than 10 million people, there is not a single black-history museum or black cultural center?' Adewale asked. 'Did you know that at the University of Zambia, there are no black fraternities and no black student union? This must change. And it will, starting today.' But despite his optimism, Adewale cautioned that many daunting challenges lie ahead. 'Yes, this election is a great step forward for black Zambians,' Adewale said. 'But there is much work to be done: A shocking 50 percent of our nation's blacks earn an income below the national average. The ever-present specter of black-on-black violence continues to loom over our communities. Our prison population is virtually 100 percent black. And each year in Zambia, the dread disease of AIDS kills more blacks than all other ethnicities combined.' Black voters turn out in force to support Adewale. The Adewale win, which many are calling the greatest political victory for black Zambians since the previous election, did not come easily. Throughout the seven-month campaign, Adewale tirelessly canvassed the nation, targeting predominantly black areas in an effort to capture the highly coveted African-African vote. During speeches, Adewale frequently emphasized issues of special concern to black Zambians, including the economy, education, health care, and foreign policy. As Adewale began to rise in the polls, his opponent, longtime Zambian parliamentary leader Nshange Oduma, also attempted to court black voters, visiting numerous black neighborhoods in Lusaka and Kabwe. But in the end, analysts said, such efforts proved too little, too late. 'The black vote is often the key to Zambian elections,' said Bikot Ughegbe, a reporter for The Post, the country's leading independent newspaper. 'If you can win their support, you have an excellent chance of winning the presidency. Oduma simply waited too long to focus on black voters, and that cost him dearly.' The election now over, attention is turning to Adewale's cabinet nominations, which he is expected to begin announcing as early as Friday. Already, rumors are swirling that Adewale will tap Bitek Kashoba, a high-ranking black general, for Minister of Defense. In addition, the new president is believed to be strongly considering Nolo Okoye, also black, for Minister of Transportation. Throughout the presidential campaign, Adewale promised that, if elected, he would appoint a significant number of majorities to his cabinet, creating 'a government that looks like Zambia.' 
3	The Exponential Power of Internet Information (Infographic)selfnews Post The infographic below puts the exponential power of this information into perspective. We rightly should be skeptical of the idea that social media has actually started physical revolutions, such as those we saw within the Arab Spring, as there are other geopolitical maneuverings to consider (and we must know the true origins of the Otpor fist of people power). However, the central point of the graphic is spot-on.Knowledge is power, and if all information is revealed to the greatest number of people, then widespread freedom is guaranteed to be the result, as the truth will always prevail. However, rather than become more responsive to the concerns of the public, as Mark Zuckerberg says in the graphics citation, governments headed by globalist controllers are profoundly irritated by the need to respond at all.

1	Shocked and saddened witnesses at the Huffington Post's news-aggregation facility have confirmed that employee Henry Evers, 25, died Wednesday after being sucked into the website's powerful news-repurposing turbine, where his body was immediately torn to pieces. The 200-ton content-compiling device, developed by Greek multimillionaire and site co-founder Arianna Huffington, sucks up original articles from around the web with its massive rotor assembly, re-brands them with the Huffington Post name, and then spits them back out on the company's home page. How The Huffington Post Content-Aggregating Turbine Works Workers said that when the machine ground to a halt at approximately 11:30 a.m., Evers reached inside to dislodge a particularly thoughtful 700-word Christian Science Monitor essay on the unrest in Syria that had become jammed. Apparently unprepared for the aggregator mechanism's quick restart, Evers was gruesomely dismembered by its rapidly spinning blades, which soaked the room in blood and unprocessed news content. 'I heard this grinding noise, and then I saw all these Washington Post stories, sexy pictures of people in the workplace, and celebrity anti-vaccine editorials start to back up on the factory floor,' said Huffington Post editor Emily Paxton, who monitors an array of computer screens displaying news sites like NYTimes.com and then presses enter on a keyboard, sending the content into the turbine, which through sheer axial force posts each piece on HuffingtonPost.com with a 30-word introductory paragraph. 'Before I could stop him, Henry had his arm crammed way down in there. He pulled out an article, smiled, and the next thing I knew, he was sucked headfirst into the rotary casing.' 'We couldn't shut it down,' continued Paxton, adding that the smell of mutilated remains mixed with raw Internet media was gag-inducing. 'If we had, it would have taken a full day for the technicians to reset it, and we couldn't risk missing a breaking story on Brody Jenner.' Since The Huffington Post was founded in 2005, its headquarters has consisted of two rooms: Arianna Huffington's spacious, lavishly appointed office overlooking New York City, and the windowless 10,000-square-foot subterranean warehouse that houses the turbine. More than 700 low-wage workers, known as writers, clock in every day, and, dressed in their Huffington Post hard hats and coveralls, work in dark, unsafe conditions to ensure the machine runs smoothly and constantly churns out content. 'Huffington Post' writers following a typical 16-hour turbine shift. Operating at 5,100 rpm, or the equivalent of 2,500 online articles and videos per minute, the turbine uses its massive power to sweep the Internet for stories or photos that ensure HuffingtonPost.com receives enough page views and mouse clicks to appease advertisers. Though Evers had worked with the company for 11 months, reports indicate he was unaware the turbine often overheats and malfunctions when tasked with posting an article of more than 400 words. 'Evers was pulverized,' said Aaron Thomas, a spokesperson for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. 'There was no way to identify him. No dental remains, no hair samples, just eyewitness reports and 17 cell-phone camera videos that the turbine immediately threw up on the site under the tags 'Funny' and 'OMG.'' 'In a way, though, maybe it's a good thing he was ripped to shreds and killed,' added Thomas, later saying that because The Huffington Post didn't provide Evers with health insurance, he wouldn't have been able to afford his hospital bills, anyway. 'Working the HuffPo turbine is no way to live.' According to sources, editor-in-chief Arianna Huffington appeared shaken after the incident, asking if the turbine was broken, if it would need to be replaced, and if the horrific accident would affect the posting of a 'Worst Hair In Hollywood' celebrity feature. 'When you harvest as much content as we do, there are bound to be some fatalities,' Huffington said in a statement. 'That's just part of the job.' Representatives from the website said that to honor Evers' memory, they planned to post a slide show titled '25 Funniest Animal Photobombs We Think Henry Would Have Loved' as early as tomorrow. 
3	Snowden is Charged with Espionage, Hong Kong is Asked to Detain HimKimberly Paxton Although many members of the government seem to agree he is a criminal, he has been hailed as a hero by the American public. The 29-year-old NSA analyst leaked a number of documents earlier in the month, exposing a massive surveillance operation. Snowden provided classified memos and court orders proving that the government has been secretly listening to phone calls and collecting data, infringing on the privacy of the American people. Snowden fled to China in order to expose the scandal without being immediately detained. Federal prosecutors have filed these charges in order to attempt to gain Chinas assistance in bringing Snowden back to the United States. By filing a criminal complaint, prosecutors have a legal basis to make the request of the authorities in Hong Kong. Prosecutors now have 60 days to file an indictment, probably also under seal, and can then move to have Snowden extradited from Hong Kong for trial in the United States. Snowden, however, can fight the U.S. effort to have him extradited in the courts in Hong Kong. Any court battle is likely to reach Hong Kongs highest court, and could last many months, lawyers in the U.S. and Hong Kong said. The United States has an extradition treaty with Hong Kong, and U.S. officials said cooperation with the Chinese territory, which enjoys some autonomy from Beijing, has been good in previous cases. Snowden could also remain in Hong Kong if the Chinese government decides that it is not in the defense or foreign policy interests of the government in Beijing to have him sent back to the United States for trial. Snowden could also apply for asylum in Hong Kong, or attempt to reach another jurisdiction and seek asylum there before the authorities in Hong Kong act. (source) If Snowden is returned to the United States, he will stand trial; and if he is found guilty of espionage, he could face the death penalty.

3	Doublethink: Media Reports No Military Action Against ISIS While Reporting Airstrikes Against ISISMelissa Melton Nope. In fact, when White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest was asked that very question back on August 29 Is the United States presently at war with ISIS yes or no? he answered a definite no, instead claiming, What we are doing is we are working very aggressively with international partners, with Iraqi and Kurdish security forces, to take the steps necessary to mitigate the threat thats posed by ISIL. (source) See? Airstriking other countries isnt war. Its mitigating a threat. Funny, didnt see that phrase anywhere in the Constitutionso much for checks and balances. Of course, that was all the way back when the U.S. was only bombing ISIS in Iraq. Now were also striking targets in Syria. In fact, reports are coming in that 12 oil refineries definitely for sure used by ISIS, right? were blown up in Syria by the U.S. and coalition forces just today. France is also striking right as reports have come out that one of their countrymen has also been beheaded by ISIS. Is ISIS plan to behead one person from each Western nation? Guess that would give more and more Western countries an excuse to join in on bombing Syria as well. Oh, and the UK is about to start striking, too. But again, this isnt a war. Its a focused campaign or military action of a bunch of countries blowing stuff up in several other countries. Oris it even military action? The reason I ask is the government and mainstream medias glaring inability to fully define what exactly our government is doing in the Middle East right now by blowing up people and places in other countries. Watch the Fox News clip below from about a week and a half ago. Starting at around the 1:55 mark, youll see something a littleodd. At the same time on the same screen, the lower third asserts, No military action yet against ISIS, despite coalition to fight terrorists. Wha? Oh, and in case you were wondering, there are also absolutely no boots on the groundeven as we continue to send more and more military advisers over there who apparently Wear flip flops and levitate? Congress is also votingonce again to spend millions more to arm the supposedly vetted moderate rebels in Syria (rebels who, in the past after being funded, armed and trained by the CIA at a base in Jordan went on to join ISIS, the very group were now striking), how is anyone even supposed to keep straight who the good guys and bad guys are in this non-war, non-military action airstriking by the U.S. military? Via Godfather Politics: Now that the United States is going to fight ISIS, the non-Islamic non-state Islamic State in Syria and Iraq plus the Levant plus Cincinnati, by funding the non-moderate, non-rebel moderate rebels in Syria, its high time somebody sat down and tried to clarify this whole mess. Ever since President Obama got the five-iron out of his ahem let me try that again. Once President Obama stepped up to his responsibilities and declared we would crush, kill, destroy whatever verb he used ISIL/ISIS/IS/non-Islamic non-State, the Administration has been on a positive tear through the thesaurus in trying to find euphemisms to describe what exactly were trying to do to whom, without us hearing that were doing anything definite to anybody real. Well, we definitely blew up 12 of Syrias oil refineries today, so What was the definition of George Orwells doublethink again? Holding two contradictory beliefs in ones head simultaneously while believing both are true? Impossible in practice? Ask the White House and the establishment media. Case in point: go ahead and try to wrap your mind around these comments President Obama made before the United Nations General Assembly earlier today: The ideology of ISIL or al Qaeda or Boko Haram will wilt and die if it is consistently exposed, confronted, and refuted in the light of day. Look at the new Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies Sheikh bin Bayyah described its purpose: We must declare war on war, so the outcome will be peace upon peace. [emphasis added] War on war will get us peace upon peace? Sowar is peace. (If you havent figured out by now that were living in George Orwells 1984, Im not sure how much more obvious it will have to get.) 
2	Entitled Welfare Mom: I Will Always Be On Welfare And NEVER Work [VIDEO] If this doesnt make you furious, we dont know what will. During a recent talk show segment on KLBJ radio, a listener called in to debate with the hosts about welfare. The men had been talking about how people on welfare have become accustomed to their benefits, and are taking advantage of the system. The 32-year-old woman, who only identified herself as Lucy, confessed that she received $1,200 a month in benefits. Her husband also receives family benefits. According to Lucy, the people working to support her (AKA American taxpayers) are good people, but she insists she is a good person too. But she also admits she spends her day lying around and smoking weed. She intends to receive benefits as long as theyre giving it to her. Lucy also told the hosts that they would take a million dollars if they were offered it too. Lucy confirmed that once you are on the system, its difficult to see the positives in removing yourself off of it. If you earn $10, they will take $20 off your assistance, she claims. She also argues that all the money she would be making would go to daycare. Listen to the interview below and tell us what you think. Is this exactly what is wrong with the system? 
2	Texas Gov Shuts Obama Down, Will Do WHATEVER IT TAKES To Stop Him Texas Governor Greg Abbott is known for a lot of thingsbut shying away from an opportunity to speak his mind to President Barack Obama is not one of them. According to reports, Abbott is gearing up to fight back on the Obama Administrations decision to enforce transgender bathrooms in school districts across America. I announced today that Texas is fighting this, he announced on Twitter. Obama cant rewrite the Civil Rights Act. Hes not a King. The tweet has already been shared thousands of times. It is clear that Americans are frustrated with Obama and his tendency to act like a dictator. What do you think? Do you applaud Abbott for taking a stand? 
3	Experts Now Blame Parents Who Discipline Their Children for Future Cancer, Cardiac Disease and AsthmaAndrew Puhanic, Contributor Researchers from Plymouth University in the United Kingdom based their study on the parenting styles of parents from Saudi Arabia and discovered that there was a link between parents who used physical punishment and insults as a means of discipline and the incidence of cancer, cardiac disease and asthma of their children later in life. It was also discovered that parents who discipline their children by smacking them only once per month significantly increased the risk for developing cancer, cardiac disease and asthma. The lead researcher, Professor Michael Hyland, was quoted as saying: This study shows that in a society where corporal punishment is considered normal, the use of corporal punishment is sufficiently stressful to have the same kinds of long-term impact as abuse and trauma. The researchers examined a total of 700 children, of which 250 of them were considered to be healthy and the other 450 had been diagnosed with asthma, cancer or cardiac disease. In most Western countries, corporal punishment has been banned. However, the results of this study essentially suggest that parents should be banned from punishing their children. Society by and large does not tolerate anyone who physically abuses children, but to suggest that even a smack once per month could increase their childs risk of developing cancer, cardiac disease and asthma is going to be virtually impossible to convey to parents struggling with disobedient children. The researchers acknowledge that there are limitations to the study. They acknowledged the possibility of participants who have recalled childhood experiences incorrectly, the non-randomness of the selection of the different groups and the possible omission of confounding variables from the models used to construct our propensity scores. The researchers also acknowledge that there are other aspects of general parenting styles that may also be associated with increased poor health. This could include the childs diet, genetic traits to develop these diseases and the environment in which they were raised. I as a parent have never smacked either one of my children; but as a parent, I can assure you that when children misbehave, its understandable why some parents feel the need to smack their children. What are your thoughts about this study? Were you smacked as a child? Do you think that as a society we are interfering too much with how parents choose to raise their children?

1	After winning for the seventh time in their past 17 games, the Seattle Mariners moved to eight games over the .300 mark for the first time since early May.'I'm pleased, but it's just a number, and over the next few weeks we'll look to get to nine games over, or even 10,' said Jim Riggleman, who has led the M's on a .481 streak since taking over as manager in June. 'The guys are really starting to come around. [Yuniesky] Betancourt's got a three-game hitting streak, Jose [Lopez] hit a home run this week, and as long as we avoid getting swept and split a two-game series every once in a while, I think we can take a crack at .400.'Riggleman went on to express pride in his team for not losing every single game on the road this season. 
3	18 Signs That Global Financial Markets Are Entering A Horrifying Death SpiralMichael Snyder We have not seen so many financial trouble signs all come together at one time like this since just prior to the last major financial crisis. It is almost as if a perfect storm is brewing, and a lot of the smart money has already gotten out of stocks and bonds. Could it be possible that we are heading toward another nightmarish financial crisis? Could we see a repeat of 2008 or potentially even something worse? Of course a lot of people believe that we will never see another major financial crisis like we experienced in 2008 ever again. A lot of people think that this type of doom and gloom talk is foolish. It is those kinds of people that did not see the last financial crash coming and that are choosing not to prepare for the next one even though the warning signs are exceedingly clear. Let us hope for the best, but let us also prepare for the worst, and right now things do not look good at all. The following are 18 signs that global financial markets are entering a horrifying death spiral #1 The yield on 10 year U.S. Treasuries has risen for 5 of the past 6 days, and it briefly touched the 2.90% level on Monday. #2 Rapidly rising interest rates are spooking investors and causing them to pull money out of bonds at a very rapid pace Investors have yanked nearly $20 billion from bond mutual funds and exchange traded funds so far in August. Thats the fourth highest pullback ever, according to TrimTabs data. In June, investors took out $69.1 billion the highest on record. China and Japan led an exodus from U.S. Treasuries in June after the first signals the U.S. central bank was preparing to wind back its stimulus, with data showing they accounted for almost all of a record $40.8 billion of net foreign selling of Treasuries. The sales were part of $66.9 billion of net sales by foreigners of long-term U.S. securities in June, a fifth straight month of outflows and the largest since August 2007, U.S. Treasury Department data showed on Thursday. China, the largest foreign creditor, reduced its Treasury holdings to $1.2758 trillion, and Japan trimmed its holdings for a third straight month to $1.0834 trillion. Combined, they accounted for about $40 billion in net Treasury outflows. #4 Thanks to rapidly rising bond yields, some of the largest exchange-traded bond funds are getting absolutely hammered right now The $18 billion iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond fund (ticker: LQD) has fallen 7.94% since May 2, according to SP Capital IQ. Thats including reinvested interest from the funds bond holdings. The 3.7 billion iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond (TLT) has plunged 15.9% the same period. Longer-term bonds typically get hit harder when rates rise than shorter-term bonds. For example, the iShares Barclays 3-7 Year Treasury Bond fund (IEI) has fallen 3.2% since May 2. PowerShares Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt (PCY), which invests in government bonds issued in developing countries, has fallen 12.7%. The fund has $1.8 billion in assets. #5 In recent weeks we have witnessed the largest cluster of Hindenburg Omens that we have seen since prior to the last financial crisis. #6 George Soros has bet a tremendous amount of money that the SP 500 is going to be heading down. #7 At this point, the SP 500 has fallen for 9 out of the last 11 trading days. #8 Margin debt has spiked to extremely dangerous levels. This is a pattern that we also saw just before the last financial crash and just before the dotcom bubble burst The exuberant mood comes as margin debt on Wall Street hovers near $377bn, just below its all-time high and well above peaks before the dotcom crash and the Lehman crisis. Investors have rarely been more levered than today, said Deutsche Bank, warning that the spike in margin debt is a red flag and should be watched closely. #9 The growth rate of new commercial bank loans and leases is now the slowest that it has been since the end of the last financial crisis. #10 According to a shocking new report, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are masking billions of dollars in losses. Will they need to be bailed out again just like they were during the last financial crisis? #11 Wal-Mart reported very disappointing sales numbers for the second quarter. Sales at stores open at least a year were down 0.3%. This is a continuation of a trend that has been building for years. #12 U.S. consumer bankruptcies just experienced their largest quarterly increase in three years. #13 The velocity of money in the United States has hit another stunning new low. #14 The massive civil unrest in Egypt threatens to disrupt the steady flow of oil out of the Middle East After last weeks bloody crackdown by the Egyptian army, fears of a disruption of oil supplies to the West have boosted the oil price. Brent crude prices were propelled to a four-month high of $111.23 on Thursday. If the turmoil gets worse or unrest spreads to other countries the risk premium currently factored into the price of crude is likely to increase further. #15 European stocks just experienced their biggest decline in six weeks. #16 The Japanese national debt recently crossed the quadrillion yen mark, and many are expecting the Japanese financial system to start melting down at any time. #17 In Indonesia, the stock market is cratering. #18 In India, the yield on their 10 year government bonds has skyrocketed from 7.1 percent in May to 9.25 percent now. As the coming months unfold, keep a close eye on the too big to fail banks both in Europe and in the United States. When the next great financial crisis strikes, they will play a starring role once again. They have been incredibly reckless, and as James Rickards told Greg Hunter during an interview the other day, we are in much worse shape to deal with a major banking crisis than we were back in 2008 Whats going to cause the next crisis? Rickards says, The problem in 2008 was too-big-to-fail banks. Well, those banks are now bigger. Their derivative books are bigger. In other words, everything that was wrong in 2008 is worse today. Rickards goes on to warn, The last time, in 2008 when the crisis started, the Feds balance sheet was $800 billion. Today, the Feds balance sheet is $3.3 trillion and increasing at $1 trillion a year. Rickards contends, Youre going to have a banking crisis worse than the last one because the banking system is bigger without the resources because the Fed is tapped out. As far as the Fed ending the money printing, Rickards predicts, My view is they wont. The economy is fundamentally weak. We have 50 million on food stamps, 24 million unemployed and 11 million on disability, and all these numbers are going up. We never even came close to recovering from the last financial crisis and the last recession. Now the next major wave of the economic collapse is coming up quickly. I hope that you are taking this time to prepare for the approaching storm, because it is going to be very painful. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

2	Dirty Thugs Break Into House, And Learn A Painful Constitutional Lesson From A Child Despite liberal pushback on our Second Amendment rights, there has been a long history of citizens using guns in self-defense to protect themselves. Without the ability to confidently defend themselves, many innocent victims would lose their lives to criminals. According to a National Self-Defense Survey (NSDS), involving nearly 5,000 interviews by phone in 48 states, many in the gun rights community believe that a privately owned gun is used in legitimate self-defense over 2 million times a year in America. Participants were asked to exclude any use of the military, law enforcement or security work to find out if they had used a gun in the past five years for self-protection or protection of property. Here are just one the stories they uncovered, courtesy of US Army 4 Life: A 13-year-old South Carolina boy fatally shot one burglary suspect and scared off a second with his mothers gun, police said. The unidentified teenager told the Charleston County Sheriffs Office that he was alone on Tuesday afternoon in his familys home, north of North Charleston, when someone tried to break in, according to NBC affiliate WCBD. The boy grabbed his mothers gun, and then waited at the back door of the home, the station reported. Police say the boy fired repeatedly through the door, and someone outside shot back. The suspect was hit three times, and a getaway driver rushed him to a hospital in Charleston, where he died of his gunshot wounds, according to an affidavit. A gray Chevy Sonic used in the incident was found with bullet holes, and a gun was retrieved from the homes backyard, the affidavit said. 
1	According to sources within Pixar Studios, all new employees were required Monday to view an adorable eight-minute animated short about sexual harassment that featured Luxo, the company's iconic hopping desk lamp, and a slinking mustachioed glove known as Fingers. 'Through the delightful misadventures of Fingers, our employees learn what types of behavior are and are not acceptable in the workplace,' said human resources administrator Lydia Price, referring to a scene in which Fingers rubs up against Luxo, repeatedly flicks her light switch on and off, and cups her bulb inappropriately. 'And thanks to Pixar's stunning visuals and heartwarming storylines, our sexual harassment film can be enjoyed by adults and children alike.' While most new hires gave the video a positive review, they were less enthusiastic about the company's 401(k)-allocation buddy film, Matchy & Roth. 
3	Henry Kissinger Doesnt Care What You ThinkBy Derrick Broze When it came time for audience questions I jumped up to get in line. There were two lines, one in each aisle of the auditorium. After 3 questions from each aisle the unrestricted questioning ended right on my turn. Some of my more conspiracy minded friends were quick to assume that the event organizers must have recognized me for my activism/journalism and decided that I could not be allowed to question Kissinger. Maybe the organizers saw this video. Either way, the questioning was over and I was not going to get an opportunity to question Kissinger about his thoughts on Russias role in the emerging world order he loves to speak about. Have no fear, Mr. Kissinger, we will meet again. Thankfully, the moderator took the time to ask a few pertinent questions and Henry Kissingers answers further reveal the nature of the man known simultaneously as the greatest U.S. diplomat and wanted war criminal. Mark Updegrove, moderator and LBJ library director, asked Kissinger to respond to war criminal accusations related to U.S. strategy to winning the Vietnam War, specifically carpet bombing of Cambodia. I think the word war criminal should not be thrown around in the domestic debate, said Kissinger. Its shameful, its a reflection on the people who use it. Lets look at the situation. First, there was no carpet bombing. Carpet bombing, or saturation bombing is the process of continuous and progressive aerial bombing designed to inflict damage on every piece of a targeted area. As part of Operation Menu, Cambodia was saturated with bombs, resulting in the deaths of around 4,000 civilians. Kissinger offered his view on the situation and explicitly states that he believes the civilian casualties were justified: The North Vietnamese moved four divisions into the border areas of Vietnam and Cambodia, and established bases from which they launched attacks into Vietnam. These divisions were put there in opposition to the Cambodian government. When Nixon took office he took a message to the North Vietnamese that he was eager for negotiations. At that point, the North Vietnamese began daily attacks, many of which came from the four divisions occupying Cambodian territory. I am a security adviser, I strongly favored it. I certainly was strongly supportive of it, it was correct. And it was in the American interest. And the civilian casualties from these bombings was justified. The argument against doing it was that Cambodia was a neutral country, but a country that 4 divisions on its soil is not a neutral country. When asked whether he had any regrets about the Vietnam War, Kissinger stated, Mistakes were made. But I am proud of the service one should stand by ones decisions. The final question posed to Mr. Kissinger was how will history judge you? During a momentary pause two audience members yelled out murderer, before Kissinger explained that he loses no sleep over what the people think about him. He also said that due to the Internet its doubtful that he will receive a fair treatment in the history books. The Vietnam War took the lives of more than 21,000 Americans and possibly as much as 1.5 million Vietnamese. Many people blame the extensive damage and destruction on officials like Henry Kissinger, especially in regards to the civilian casualties in Cambodia. When reflecting on Henry Kissingers role in the Vietnam War it is important to remember that the statesman was controversially awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on December 10, 1973, for negotiating the Paris Peace Accords and bringing peace to Vietnam. The Peace Prize was also awarded to North Vietnamese Politburo Member, Le Duc Tho, but Tho rejected the award because peace had not been restored in South Vietnam. Kissinger accepted his award without question. Whether one considers Henry Kissinger to be a war criminal for his actions in Vietnam, it is extremely important to study his other actions in other nations to determine if he does in fact warrant the title. A good place to start is Argentinas Dirty War. To understand Argentinas Dirty War, you have to understand Operation Condor, and to understand Operation Condor we must talk about Kissinger. In recently released memos it is made perfectly clear that in 1976 the former Secretary of State gave his approval for Argentinas Dirty War. On March 24, 1976, General Jorge Rafael Videla declared martial law after leading a military coup that lasted until 1983. The coup led to the deaths of nearly 30,000 people, including victims who were killed by throwing them alive from helicopters into the Atlantic Ocean. Thousands more were illegally detained and tortured. General Videla was sentenced to prison for human rights violations and died behind bars in 2013. The Dirty War was only one part of a larger plan known as Operation Condor. Condor was a campaign of political repression and terror involving assassination and intelligence operations implemented in 1975 by the dictatorships of Chile and Argentina. The former Secretary of State was heavily involved in Operation Condor. Kissingers approval of Argentinas decision to move forward with their repressive campaign has been suspected for years and confirmed since at least 2004 when the National Security Archive released a secret memo recounting a conversation between assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights, Patt Derian, and the US ambassador in Buenos Aires, Robert Hill. The two met in April 1977 and discussed a meeting between Henry Kissinger and Argentine Foreign Minister Cesar Augusto Guzzetti. Kissinger gives Guzzetti explicit permission to move forward with whatever they must do to repress terrorism. In 1987, Martin Edwin Andersen reported that Kissinger had given the Argentine Generals permission to carry out their state-sponsored terrorism. In 2014, Andersen released another memo which is even more clear than the National Security Archive file. The memo contains the conversation between Ambassador Hill and Secretary Derian discussing Argentinas fears of lecturing from the United States. The Argentines were very worried that Kissinger would lecture to them on human rights. Guzzetti and Kissinger had a very long breakfast but the Secretary did not raise the subject. Finally Guzzetti did. Kissinger asked how long will it take you (the Argentines) to clean up the problem. Guzzetti replied that it would be done by the end of the year. Kissinger approved. In other words, Ambassador Hill explained, Kissinger gave the Argentines the green light. In the memo Kissinger expresses concern over new human rights laws requiring the U.S. to certify that foreign aid would not go towards terrorism. Kissinger wanted the generals to hurry their campaign and get back to normal by the end of the year. Kissinger is well known for promoting the idea of taking action whether legal or not. A leaked transcript from Monday, March 10, 1975 outlines Kissingers thoughts on the legality of government sponsored crime. Kissinger: Before the Freedom of Information Act, I used to say at meetings, The illegal we do immediately; the unconstitutional takes a little longer. [laughter] But since the Freedom of Information Act, Im afraid to say things like that. Kissinger has evaded questions and legal summons by investigators in France, Spain, Chile and Argentina. They seek answers about his involvement in disappearances of citizens in the US and other countries in regard to Operation Condor. On September 10, 2001, the family of General Schneider initiated a civil action in federal court in DC, claiming that Kissinger gave the agreement to murder the general because he had refused to endorse plans for a military coup in Chile. November 13, 2002, 11 individuals brought suit against Kissinger for human rights violations following the coup. They accused him of forced disappearance, torture, arbitrary detention, and wrongful death. The suit claims that Kissinger provided practical assistance and encouragement to the Chilean regime with reckless disregard for the lives and well-being of the victims and their families. Both cases were dismissed based on sovereign and diplomatic immunity. Why? Because people like Henry Kissinger are above the law. To make matters worse, Kissinger, the Bushes, Cheney, Obama, and the rest of the criminals get paraded around and celebrated like heroes to the blind masses who do not even suspect that they are supporting darkness. It is up to each of us to be a shining light for truth and justice. Together we can wake our brothers and sisters and take the power away from people like Henry Kissinger and put it back in the hands of the people.

Thanks to the internet nobody needs to listen to his lies and BS when the facts are available for anyone with a brain to see. Kissinger is human sewage and the sooner hes pushing up daisies, the better off humanity will be VERY true. The slime of zionist is STILL crawling around in the USA WAR CRIMINALS like this scum and BUSH ect DESERVE JUSTICE as in HANGING! Do not forget Clintons who destroyed my beautiful Yougoslavia and the richest country in Afrika that was Libya! ..We are the Home of Natural Plants like Cannabis Oil , Medical Marijuana This guy is still alive? With him, i have become afraid he will die of old age before he can have a fair trial and a fair execution for war crimes, of course now you can add Papa Bush and his wife to that list. There are no fair trails for the soulless minion beings. They are granted immunity by each new president who takes office so they can do as they please without reprisal. Thats another reason, as if anyone needed one, not to vote and thereby tacitly agree to be ruled by criminals and psychopaths. That is why they must be tried in courts which are not governed by the people ordering the war crimes. Say a common law court, for Kissinger, say People from Viet Nam suffering from agent orange, for the Bushes, people from Iraq whos family has been murdered by the U.S., let the Serbs sit on Bill Clintona jury, the family of Muammar Gaddafi can sit on the Jury of Hillary Clinton. John McShame can have either a Viet Nam, Iraqi, Libyan, Afghanistan, jury. What youre describing sounds like a globalist world court. Sadly, anything globalist would be ruled by the globalists, who rule all the people you named. Thats why theyre all still running around free as little birds, lecturing us on various agendas and doing the bidding of their corporate masters. One of them has the audacity to run for president and some people are even considering voting for her. Thats a far cry from justice. Ive just turned the whole mess over to karma and karma is why theyre all becoming so ugly to look at. Kissinger The Hunchback Gnome belongs on a Lord of the Rings movie set. None of them are aging well and theyre all gross, soulless hybrids IMO. Actually i came very close to sending a cop who laid hands on my daughter, (he beat her up for telling him he did not need to use four letter words talking to her), to his just reward. Did a whole lot of soul searching and came to the conclusion that we all own what we do in life, there is no way to dodge paying for everything we do. There was nothing i could do to him which would come close to what he will pay after this life. I let him live, and i did not add his blood or negative energy to my soul. The internal affairs had been protecting him as he raped, assaulted, cussed people out with very foul language. They protected him from what he did to may daughter, they continued to protect him for another three years or so until he raped a person in the back seat of his patrol car while on duty. More people came forward saying he had raped them. The police department had so much stuff on the district attorney that a deal was cut for one year for official oppression instead of for rape. No one escapes what they do. He has not EVEN began to pay for or face what he has done, that justice system is beyond the reach of the evil beings of this world. Wow! What an exceptional way to mete out justice! This article states 21,000 Americans died in the Vietnam War. Ive always read it was nearly triple that, 58,000. Or does this latter figure include people with arms and legs blown off, all in the service of tin, oil and rubber profits? Kissinger is a serial war-criminal, is guilty of crimes-against-humanity, and is a traitor to The USA. He should be dragged out of his comfy-limousine, charged and convicted for treasonand then hanged by theuseless eaters.(as he so lovingly refers to us normal folk) So mistakes were made In fact, those mistakes were so bad, that most Kissinger is an NWO guy Always be a light that is .shininginthedark. Ever notice how freaking UGLY the globalist pigs are? They really look like the flying space lizards David Icke keeps talking about. I think so too. There is something not human about ALL of them..a subspecies, a walking/talking virus.something very off. Totally. How are things going Marie? It has been a whirlwind!

I left my email on Johns website just so you know:) I am fine, thanks! Its planting season here and the migrating hummingbirds showed up yesterday, always a fine event after a long winter. Glad you are doing well. Dont know where youre going yet? That must feel odd. Have you got some ideas lined up? Or are you going The World is my Oyster route? John and I had a little breakdown in communications, a/k/a an argument. It appears he is a bit of a misogynist (Im being more polite than I feel) and I was not invited to join his website because I failed to accept his notion that women are inferior in terms of intelligence and passion for truth. Just be aware I love Hummingbirds..that was the last gift I gave my sisterthey were ornaments, a blue and purple one. I put the blue one in her casket and kept the purple one. So much symbolism with those birds. And perhaps you will resonate with my lengthy comment along with the links I posted. US casualties were over 58,000..58,220 according to the National Archives, not 21,000. Too bad no one asked Kissinger about this: Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy. im so glad im not on that WALL. This decrepit sanctimonious mendacious PoS deserves the pain and heart break he so proudly hung on Americas Vietnams youth Theres no karma ~ typical for his kind to play the victim, every time ~ Yeah, history will judge you harshly and it cant start soon enough. A entire GENERATION of AMERICAN young ( MOSTLY WHITE MEN)was KILLED in Vietnam for NOTHING! These young Americans could have made all the difference over the HORRIBLE Nixon years and beyond. They werent mostly white, where did you get that? They were all drafted, so lots of poor and working class, many blacks. Another zioinst chickenshit thug from jeep driver to Security advisor after being brain washed at the Tavistock institute where all good little zioinst wanna bes go. Kissinger you are guilty of murder. Lets not forget that demon-in-the-flesh is wanted for war crimes and (OMG, SHOCK!!), is being protected along with many other war criminals by swine the likes of the incredible invisible POW McCain and Israels North American colony.

3	Brandalism: Activist Art Redesigns The Advertising LandscapeJohn Galt The Brandalism project has set its sights on the saturated landscape of public-space advertising that is a physical and mental assault on anyone who would like to take a peaceful stroll without being bombarded by misinformation and psy-op strategies. This tradition is indeed growing in popularity and acceptance by citizens, with the UK being a prime site of others who have sought this form of engagement. The following video from Mear One has over 120,000 views and describes the motivation behind the work and the reactions that it engendered throughout the process. As the most heralded and notorious UK street artist Banksy has stated, the governments categorization of this type of activity is likely to be vandalism, but is at the very least a legal gray area. While I certainly dont wish to condone criminal activity, we cant ignore movements that aim to throw a wrench in the gears of tyranny. Anonymous and the hacktivist groups with whom they are aligned, for example, are largely regarded as justified in their attempts to tear down corrupt and dangerous systems wherever they appear it could be seen as an act of self-defense. So, too, activist art like Brandalism with the intention to inform and free rather than dumb down and enslave. It is at its essence a reclamation of public space that has become infiltrated by all of the trappings of fascism. Advertising is in fact one of the key tools of social engineers who wish to promote the images that define society, whether that be the portrayal of body type, financial success, or political/military directives to See something, Say something. As the Brandalism creators rightly point out, the straight advertising of old the type that is embraced by capitalism; highlighting your product with specific reasons why it is better than the competition has morphed into messages directed by the State every bit as much as private interests. And isnt this exactly what we have witnessed during the ensuing years? This clearly demonstrates how advertising is one of the key modern methods of mind control. Combined with other forms of media, there can be a cross-spectrum integrated message which seems to have the ring of truth because it comes from so many sources, simultaneously. When one becomes attuned to identifying the main message, one can certainly see the prevalence in public ad space. And this is not even to mention subliminal messaging. However, it is all very difficult to ignore unless you have intensely trained to identify how it is done. Most arent so fortunate, and certainly children are most susceptible. Perhaps such an insidious form of mind control needs to be met with subversion? You can find out more at www.brandalism.org.uk.

3	Kuwait to Pass Law to DNA Tag Everyone Like Cattle, Including All TouristsBy Melissa Dykes In the first law of its kind anywhere in the world, Kuwait has decided it will not only DNA tag everyone presently in the country as part of a new integrated security database, but all tourists will be required to submit a DNA test before they can even enter the country. Facilities for blood and saliva collection will be set up at the Kuwait International Airport, and there will be consequences of rejecting these procedures which the Kuwaiti government says it is putting in place in order to track everyone just in case someone commits a crime. While it sounds like an Orwellian nightmare, the reality is this is slowly creeping up on us everywhere. Central banks are going to start requiring biometrics for identification, for your security they say. Japan has already announced thatall tourists will be required to use their fingerprints as currency while in the country. India has forced biometric IDs on its entire population. In fact, the United Nations is pushing for universal biometric ID cards for every single man, woman, and child on the planet by 2030. Can you imagine the TSA DNA tagging you before you get on a plane in America? Cant you see it being justified for your safety?

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 crimes of government far surpass the crimes of individuals. The people of Kuwait are total losers if they allow this. If the American government tried this here it will be a fight to the death. How can a government commit a crime any better than a corporation? I hardly think such a law will affect the number of tourists who already dont visit Kuwait!

Koskinen has been accused of misleading the public and destroying documents that were being sought under a congressional subpoena. The move is part of an ongoing investigation regarding the tax agency targeting tea party members. It comes just one week after the Justice Department issued a report determining the agency had not engaged in criminal behavior. What do you think? Do you support the investigation of Koskinen?

Harvey began by discussing a manager on his set that had started out his career as a floor cleaner at a Magic Johnson theater. He used that story as a catalyst to discuss perseverance. You can never give up, Harvey told his audience. You can never know where God is just waiting for you to pass the test. But you have to stay with something and go through the test to get to the end. Watch the full clip below and tell us what you think. Do you support Harvey speaking out on his faith? 
3	Citizen Journalism is Winning the News War in SyriaBy Joe Wright The central points made are valid, but we always need to be skeptical of organizations that seek to collate information and vet it for accuracy in this case a monitoring program called Syria Tracker. While clearly there is a need to verify sources and separate propaganda from real news, Index on Censorship has received some questionable funding which you can view here one source is George Soros Open Society Foundations. To give the benefit of the doubt, perhaps IOC is not aware of the blood attached to the money they have received. However, there is in fact a well-documented human rights scam that muddies the waters of all official reporting, even reports that come from seemingly well-intentioned NGOs. Tony Cartaluccis excellent article Soros Criminal Conviction Exposes Human Rights Scam thoroughly addresses this issue. Nevertheless, as the corporate/government media continues its attempts to outlaw independent journalism, continues to purchase and/or create NGO movements, and begins equating the denouncing of terrorism with terrorism itself (see the story of SyrianGirl here) it is of paramount importance that citizens step up and become the media that they wish to see in the world. Press Release Citizen reporters are increasingly getting stories out of remote areas of Syria, which are difficult for traditional media to reach during the conflict, according to data collated for Index on Censorship magazine. It showed more reports were coming from citizen journalists than traditional media, in all areas of the country, with the exception of Homs. Index on Censorship magazine worked with Syria Tracker, the independent news tracker, which has scanned 160,000 news reports and social media updates to look at the scale of citizen journalism. Syria Tracker verifies and analyses data before publishing on its own website. Only 6 per cent of data is considered to be well enough sourced to be published. Syria Tracker monitors 2,000 different news sources, including pro-regime outlets. Add to this 80 million social media updates and 4,000 eyewitness reports, and you can draw some interesting conclusions, according to Index on Censorships deputy editor and author of the article, Vicky Baker. For example, female deaths at the beginning of the conflict totalled one per cent, but then sharply rose to reach 18 per cent clearly suggesting a point where citizens became targeted and were not collateral damage. This data analysis has also shown that children make up 11 per cent of all documented killings in Syria with reports suggesting they have been targeted while at school, at home and while waiting in bread lines. These sort of projects are vital to worldwide news organisations and, when aided by data journalism, can help us gain a fuller picture of the devastation being wrought, Baker says. Syria Tracker has been hacked and targeted with threats; some of its citizen reporters are missing, possibly dead. If citizens had abandoned the project a few months after the 2011 launch (as was anticipated), our understanding of events between Syrias borders would be even more limited. Tass Kass-Hout, Syria Trackers founder, said the work was relentless, and like a hurricane happening every minute. Yet Syria Tracker provides another tool for those attempting to piece together the full picture of what is happening during the war. This is not a clinical trial, says Kass-Hout. We are telling a story, its a living record. Few professional journalists can reach remote regions of Syria. Instead thousands of citizens are helping to get the news of the devastation out. To date, Syria Tracker has mapped over 4,000 geotagged verified eyewitness reports, and uses large-scale data mining to scan news reports and social media updates. Only verified data are published around six percent of what Syria Tracker receives. Manual checking can take several days, and includes correlating nearby reports and sometimes involves scanning gruesome and shaky video footage. Members of the core team work two to three hours each day in addition to their day jobs. Syria Tracker offers us a window into the future of journalism, in particular war reporting, says Baker. International press and aid organizations are unable to rely on their own personnel on the ground, and so the world is looking to citizen journalism and crowdsourcing more than ever. Data compiled for Index on Censorship showed that the majority of news reports (June 2011 to Feb 2014) outside Homs were sourced via crowdsourcing, rather than traditional news journalism. For instance in Aleppo, 184 reports came from news articles, and 18,776 from crowd sourcing, according Syria Tracker data. If you would like a copy of the data mapping then please contact Katie Baker, Katie.baker@sagepub.co.uk Index uses a unique combination of journalism, campaigning and advocacy to defend freedom of expression for those facing censorship and repression, including journalists, writers, social media users, bloggers, artists, politicians, scientists, academics, activists and citizens.

2	Mother Of James Foley Makes Announcement Weve All Been Waiting For Almost one month ago, ISIS publicly beheaded journalist James Foley. They have since beheaded another American journalist, as well as a British aid worker. The videos have sparked outrage, and calls for action against the Islamic State. Once again, it appears the President Obama is dragging his feet. Americans first started to doubt the presidents dedication after he went golfing immediately after speaking about the loss of Foley. Obama was also responsible for delaying a rescue mission for the journalists when they were originally captured. Further, reports reveal that Foley was originally captured by the Syrian rebels that Obama himself was backing. Now, Foleys mother Diane has decided to speak out against Obama and the way that he has handled the tragic incident. In an interview with CNN, she told reporters that she was embarrassed and appalled at the lack of action from the president. She feels he has done very little to take action against the group that brutally murdered her son. Further, she revealed that her family received threats of fines, prosecution, and imprisonment when they attempted to raise ransom funds on their own when Foley was originally captured. The Foleys also doubt Obamas half-hearted strategies will do anything to get to the root of the problem, which they view as radical Islamic ideology. What do you think? Do you support the Foleys? 
3	Cha-Ching: The Second Fast-Tracked Ebola Vaccine Trial Just Began in MarylandMelissa Melton Paragraph 1: The first human trials of a Canadian Ebola vaccine began Monday, part of a flood of experimental therapies rushed into testing to battle the Ebola epidemic. Great. Another experimental vaccine is being fast-tracked and rushed out thanks to a carefully planned fearporn propaganda campaign designed to ultimately make Big Pharma a lot of big profits. No one is talking about any natural alternatives, underlying nutritional deficiency issues or water treatment problems already plaguing Africa, or the fact that even the guy who designed the Ebola test says its unreliable or the fact that stories have leaked out here and there in the African newspapers that people are purposefully poisoning city water wells with formaldehyde which, when ingested, can cause corrosive injuries that appear much like the symptoms of late-stage Ebola. Also the phrase a flood of experimental therapies is perfectly timed for October, because its scary as hell. Who knows whats in those syringes. Paragraph 2: Although the world has been fighting Ebola since 1976, major drugmakers showed little interest in the disease because outbreaks were small and sporadic, said Thomas Geisbert, a professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch, who has studied Ebola and tested drugs against it for many years. Drugmakers showed little interest because poor dying Africans living inabject poverty cant afford expensive designer pharmaceuticals. Period. For more on that, watch this clip of a doctor being interviewed by Bloomberg who straight up says that there wasnt enough panic and paying customers to necessitate the creation of an Ebola vaccine. Transcript: 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] 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. A small and sporadic number of people dying albeit in a horrible, awful way thats the stuff of nightmares simply does not translate to profits. Guess theres enough panic to rain Ebola money from the sky now, huh? Because now, of course, every time a new American gets diagnosed with Ebola, the stocks for companies working on all these experimental drugs and shots shoot straight up. Motley Fool referred to this as emotional trading. Shares of Ebola vaccine developers, such as Tekmira Pharmaceuticals and NewLink Genetics soared by as much as 25% and 12%, respectively, following the first confirmed Ebola diagnosis yesterday afternoon from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of a person in Dallas, the site declared on October 1st after Ebola Patient Zero Thomas Eric Duncan was officially diagnosed. Paragraph 3: Ebola research got a jump-start after the terrorist attacks in 2001 as the government funded studies to prepare for possible bioterror attacks, said Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Uh-huh. The events on 9/11/2001 were used to further all sorts of government agendas, werent they? By the way, were those studies carried out in the Ebola hot zone countries? Thats where U.S. bio-warfare researchers just so happen to have been hanging out studying Ebola for the last few years prior to this latest outbreak Curiously Paragraph 4: Only the current Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the biggest in history, has succeeded in moving experimental drugs and vaccines into larger clinical trials. There are no approved drugs or vaccines on the market, so several Ebola patients have received experimental medications. Sounds like all this mass public fear is smashing good timing, then! Reminds me of a another story I saw on The Guardian titled, Ebola is in America and, finally, within range of Big Pharma, byline: Research into tropical diseases is chronically neglected, but the horror of this epidemic could transform the battle against them. The USA Today story goes on to talk more about this vaccine and the other rushed-to-testing shots in play at the moment: A vaccine developed by the Public Health Agency of Canada began testing Monday at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Silver Spring, Md. The vaccine uses a vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) to deliver its payload and offers promise for preventing and treating Ebola, Hotez said. VSVisnt that in the rabies category? Better check it. Via Wikipedia: Vesicular stomatitis Indiana virus (VSIV) (often still referred to as VSV) is a virus in the family Rhabdoviridae; the well-known rabies virus belongs to the same family. VSIV can infect insects, cattle, horses and pigs. It has particular importance to farmers in certain regions of the world where it can infect cattle. This is because its clinical presentation is identical to the very important foot and mouth disease virus. The virus is zoonotic and leads to a flu-like illness in infected humans. Oh goody. Sounds like something straight out of the zombie horror movie 28 Days Later, doesnt it? This vaccine isnt the only one, either. A researcher at Thomas Jefferson University, in a partnership with the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is currently working on an Ebola vaccine that will straight up piggyback off the actual rabies vaccine. We think everyone in equatorial Africa should be vaccinated against both rabies and Ebola, microbiologist Matthias J. Schnell said. The Philly Inquirer article goes on to note that the Walter Reed Army Medical Center plans to have a 2,000-dose batch of Schnells concoction prepared for testing by the end of next month. Big Pharma giant Glaxosmithkline (GSK) is already working on another vaccine in conjunction with NIH using an adenovirus, a common cause of respiratory illness. GSK has already begun preparing 10,000 doses of the experimental vaccine for a World Health Organization emergency vaccination program, you know, if clinical trials (the short, fast-tracked kind rushed into testing due to the outbreak) go well. Dr. Fauci, the director of the NIHs National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (the government outfit working with GSK) has recently told The Canadian Press that he believes a mass vaccination program will likely be required to stop this Ebola outbreak (via Modern Healthcare): It is conceivable that this epidemic will not turn around even if we pour resources into it. It may just keep going and going and it might require a vaccine. As the epidemic gets more and more formidable and in some cases out of control it is quite conceivable, if not likely, that we may need to deploy the vaccine to the entire country to be able to shut the epidemic down. That is clearly a possibility. [emphasis added] Scientists are now claiming that, to go about testing these drugs in the normal fashion with placebo groups etc. would be unethical because it would mean denying patients at high risk of death potential treatment. What that really means is ultimately a skewed set of data in a hard-to-lose situation for pharmaceutical companies testing out otherwise risky products on people like lab rats. So does it follow then that if the treatment kills a few people in the process, they wouldve died anyway and that makes it all a-okay? You know, ten years ago Long before this Ebola outbreak and the resultant panic spreading like a global wildfire Scientific American was asking back in 2004, How do you test that a human Ebola vaccine works? The answer given then? You dont . Gee, a lot has changed in a decade, hasnt it?

1	Representatives from the sports drink manufacturer Powerade announced Wednesday that Nisroch, the ancient Assyrian god of agriculture, has been resurrected from the depths of Assyro-Babylonian mythology to serve as the key marketing figure for their newest product, Nisroch: Eagle Heart X-TREME WHIRLWIND! According to officials, the eagle-headed farming deity, once a source of strength and comfort to ancient Assyrians, is the perfect symbol for athletes looking to take their game to the next level. 'The name Nisroch is synonymous with power,' a statement from Powerade read in part. 'And this drink, with its new X-TREME WHILRWIND! formula, will allow athletes to experience what it must have been like for Nisroch to soar over Assyria and bring those who dared to challenge him to their knees.' 'Just like Nisroch needed courage to protect all who worshiped him,' the statement continued, 'Eagle Heart will give you the eagle-like courage you need to produce extreme results on the court, on the baseball diamond, or in the weight room.' According to Powerade executives, Nisroch, revered by ancient Assyrians for bringing rain to nourish their crops, will be used to represent such new product features as supernatural electrolyte replenishment and rapid liquid-energy delivery. Nisroch, symbol of power and electrolytes. Depicted in ancient art as an amiable figure sprinkling water on a sacred tree, the god is most famous among theologians as the deity King Sennacherib prayed to when he returned from his campaigns in Israel. Powerade representatives said it was Nisroch's pronounced calf muscle in various depictions from the eighth century B.C. that initially attracted them to the once highly revered farming idol. 'We knew we definitely wanted to do something with eagles, and when we saw that image of Nisroch, he looked like he might as well have lightning bolts in his hands instead of a water pail,' Mitch MacCavoy, creative director of the Nisroch advertising campaign, told reporters. 'That's why we gave him lightning bolts.' MacCavoy went on to say that he hired a design team to 'sleek up' the Assyrian god and ordered them to make his feathers look like silver razor blades that 'swirl around' all over the place. 'Nisroch helped the Assyrians destroy any obstacle in their path, just like Powerade does for its athletes,' MacCavoy said of the idol, who was commonly prayed to in times of drought. 'That's why only a serious athlete should drink Eagle Heart. If you're not serious, not willing to work hard to reach your apex peak like Nisroch, you might as well just go home.' In a commercial recently screened for test groups, a muscular eagle-like man, presumably Nisroch, is seen flying over what appears to be an ancient city. The eagle then plummets to the earth and plows through the roof of a building where men in loincloths are working out with modern weight equipment. After drinking an entire bottle of Eagle Heart X-TREME WHIRLWIND, Nisroch works out on various machines, pushing himself harder and faster as the X-TREME WHIRLWIND formula presumably kicks in. The commercial concludes with Nisroch destroying the gym with a lightning bolt, followed by the appearance of the tagline, 'The Awesome Power of Ancient Assyria in a Single Bottle.' Representatives at Powerade said they are excited to unleash Nisroch and will begin shipping it to stores next month. Initial product testing has reportedly exceeded expectations. 'I don't know much about Assyria, but that bird on the bottle looks pretty cool,' said Gold's Gym member Jarrod Keller, who was given a sample of the product before his workout Friday. 'And I think that whirlwind stuff definitely helped me get in those extra few reps.' 
1	Responding to controversy regarding lip-syncing singers and 'simulated' fireworks during the Olympic opening ceremonies, Chinese Olympic officials announced Tuesday that the closing ceremonies would feature a full-scale nuclear ICBM launch followed almost immediately by 2 million amphibious troops marching into California. 'We have pledged to respond to our critics in a fashion that exemplifies the culture and direction of modern China,' a statement from the newly created Chinese Strategic Olympic Committee and Global Strike Force read in part. 'The world shall thrill to the spectacle of 1,000 character dancers, 10,000 traditional acrobats, 100,000 commandos storming out of the Pacific surf into Los Angeles and San Francisco, and dozens of cities burning at one million degrees.' The statement also expressed regret that, due to the unique circumstances of this year's closing ceremonies, handing over the Olympic Games to the heavily targeted city of London would probably not be physically possible. 
2	A Panda Is Hiding Between These Storm Troopers And I Bet You Cant Find Him In Less Than 5 Seconds I am a huge Star Wars fan and so when I saw this picture I had to look at it. All the different storm troopers are so cool to look at that you forget there is a hidden panda somewhere. There are about 5 or 6 different storm troopers that are displayed. Each one looks like they are about to draw their blaster and shoot through the screen. Id hope they wouldnt. Star Wars is a huge cultural icon and this game really makes me happy. The panda is hidden really well with the black and white storm troopers. He is standing in the same pose as the troopers. It looks kind of unnatural, but when you finally find the panda you will laugh extremely hard. The panda is looking straight at you with a blank stare. Who knows what he is thinking, but I can tell you it has something to do with worrying about the Empire. I think that the panda would be on the side of the rebels. I imagine him as a rebel spy. Have you found it yet? Dont worry it took me a long time. It was mostly because the storm troopers distracted me. My eyes would bounce form one on the bottom of the screen to one on the top of the screen. It took me about 10 seconds to finally find the panda, but it was 100% worth it. Once you see him you kick yourself thinking that you could have done it faster. The panda can be found on the right side about 1/3 of the way down. He is staring directly at the screen and still makes me laugh. How long did it take you? 
1	According to eyewitness reports, Jennifer Holleman, 25, wants to leave the game now despite the difficulty and expense of obtaining tickets, the strong playoff implications of the contest, and the fact that the final result of the hotly contested tie game is still in doubt. 'Are you still watching this? Or can we leave soon?' Holleman asked boyfriend Ian Pickett, who had been looking forward to the game for weeks and had in fact initially invited his best friend before finally being coerced by Holleman to bring her instead. 'Let's go watch a movie or something. Or I could call Liz and Michelle and meet up at a bar that's playing the game there.Then you could still watch the end of the game. We've been here for an hour already and no one's even winning.' Earlier in the evening, Pickett had missed the only scoring of the once-in-a-lifetime sporting epic while waiting in line at the gift shop to purchase a pink version of the home team's hat. 
3	Doctors Warn Mankind Is Entering The Post-Antibiotic EraChris Carrington The medical profession has known for years that we would reach this point, and they have been warning about it for a considerable time. Even though they have been very vocal and very public about their concerns, drug companies have not yet even come close to developing new products that could prevent us returning to pre-antibiotic times when even the simplest of infections killed on a daily basis. Commenting in The Independent, Professor John Watson said: I am concerned that in 20 years, if I go into hospital for a hip replacement, I could get an infection leading to major complications and possible death, simply because antibiotics no longer work as they do now. In the Lancet report, Dame Sally Davies writes that the death rates from bacterial infections: .might return to those of the early 20th century. Rarely has modern medicine faced such a grave threat. Without antibiotics, treatments from minor surgery to major transplants could become impossible, and health-care costs are likely to spiral as we resort to newer, more expensive antibiotics and sustain longer hospital admissions. It would be easy to lay the blame for the issue at the feet of doctors who over-prescribe and their patients who demand a pill for every illness, but its not that simple. Its time we looked beyond conventional medicine for answers. An article about cinnamon published by the Applied and Environmental Microbiology department of the US National Library of Medicine said in 1978: The compound inhibits the growth and toxin production of mycotoxin-producing fungi. The substance completely inhibited the growth of Aspergillus parasiticus and A. flavus at 100 microgram/ml and A. ochraceus and A. versicolor at 200 microgram/ml. It inhibited the production of aflatoxin B1 by over 90% at 6.25 microgram/ml, ochratoxin A at 25 microgram/ml, and sterigmatocystin at 50 microgram/ml. The substance also displayed a strong inhibitory effect on the growth of five dermatophytoses species, e.g., Microsporum canis (minimum inhibitory concentration, 3.12 to 6.25 microgram/ml). However, no antibacterial effect was observed at concentrations as high as 50 microgram/ml. A highbrow way of saying that a substance in cinnamon kills a wide variety of micro-organisms. Another study, this one in 1999, stated: Lead researcher Erdogan Ceylan, M.S., reported that in apple juice samples inoculated with about one million E. coli O157:H7 bacteria, about one teaspoon (0.3 percent) of cinnamon killed 99.5 percent of the bacteria in three days at room temperature (25 C). When the same amount of cinnamon was combined with either 0.1 percent sodium benzoate or potassium sorbate, preservatives approved by the Food and Drug Administration, the E. coli were knocked out to an undetectable level. The number of bacteria added to the test samples was 100 times the number typically found in contaminated food. Escherichia Coli 0157 is a major problem causing outbreaks of food poisoning that is very hard to treat with conventional antibiotics, yet recent outbreaks have seen dozens dying with no mention of cinnamon being effective against it. The research article is actually entitled Cinnamon is lethal to E.Coli 0157 H7. In 2004, research suggested that cinnamon could be used in the treatment of diabetes as it has the ability to lower blood glucose levels. Again in 2004 cinnamon oil was shown to kill mosquitoes. In 2009 cinnamon was shown to be effective against MRSA. In 2011cinnamon and garlic were sited as effective antibiotics in chickens. Natural health practitioners have been saying for years that cinnamon has a wide variety of benefits yet still the average household uses it for nothing more than sprinkling on apples. Anecdotal evidence going back generations suggest that gargling with a cinnamon mouthwash can alleviate the pain of mouth ulcers and clear throat infections. Millions of people drink cinnamon and honey tea regularly as part of their general health routine. Can all these people and all these studies be wrong? (source) In a recent article, Lizzie Bennett advocated the use of probiotics rather than antibiotics as a treatment for Clostridium difficile, a condition that causes death in a good proportion of its victims. In August I highlighted a hitherto undiscovered compound with antibiotic properties found in ocean floor mud. A team led by William Fenical at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego has discovered a new chemical compound from an ocean microbe in a preliminary research finding that could one day set the stage for new treatments for anthrax and other ailments such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA). As reported in the international edition of the German journal Angewandte Chemie, Scripps researcher Chris Kauffman in Fenicals group first collected the microorganism that produces the compound in 2012 from sediments close to shore off Santa Barbara, Calif. Fenicals team in the Scripps Center for Marine Biotechnology and Biomedicine, working in conjunction with San Diego-based Trius Therapeutics, used an analytical technique known as spectroscopy to decipher the unusual structure of a molecule from a microscopic species known as Streptomyces. Initial testing of the compound, which they named anthracimycin, revealed its potency as a killer of anthrax, the infectious disease often feared as a biological weapon, as well as MRSA. The real importance of this work is the fact that anthracimycin has a new and unique chemical structure, said Fenical, who added that the finding is a basic research discovery, which could lead to testing and development, and eventually a drug. The discovery of truly new antibiotic compounds is quite rare. This discovery adds to many previous discoveries that show that marine bacteria are genetically and chemically unique. The discovery provides the latest evidence that the oceans, and many of its unexplored regions, represent a vast resource for new materials that could one day treat a variety of diseases and illnesses. Fenical, a distinguished professor of oceanography and pharmaceutical science, helped found the field of marine biomedicine as a researcher at Scripps. He is a pioneer in discovering and identifying these novel compounds. His research has helped bring attention to the need for continued exploration of the ocean for science and society. In addition to Fenical and Kauffman, coauthors of the paper include Kyoung Jang, Sang-Jip Nam, Deanna Beatty, and Lauren Paul of Scripps and Jeff Locke of Trius Therapeutics. The National Institutes of Health and the Transformational Medical Technologies program of the Department of Defense Chemical and Biological Defense Program through the Defense Threat Reduction Agency supported the research. Unless we want to be back to square one, the days when simple infections couldnt be treated and turned into life-threatening infections, more has to be done to find answers that the natural world has to offer. We need to explore medicinal herbs and plants that have been used for generations. We need to look to colloidal silver and to cinnamon in the hope that we can protect our families in the years to come. Even if science does provide new antibiotics, they will be broadcast wholesale into our food and the problem will recur in the future. Those with the power to do so need to take a good look at what we are consuming, which substances are in the food that we eat. They need to be questioning if those substances need to be there at the levels they are, or even there at all.

2	ALERT: Constitutionalists Will Arm Themselves After What Homeland Security Just Announced Following months of protesting and rioting in Ferguson, there has been an increasing concern about the use of military-style tactics by law enforcement. This mistrust is part of what is giving police a bad name in the mind of liberals. Conservatives, on the other hand, support law enforcement but find that constitutional rights are being ignored. The issue was highlighted in a recent video released by a resident of Spokane Valley, Washington. The resident asked a sheriffs deputy to explain why the department needs armored vehicles. I mean, weve got a lot of constitutionalists and a lot of people that stockpile weapons, lots of ammunition, the deputy told the resident. They have weapons here locally. You heard that right. According to this police officer, Americans who support the Constitution and are willing to stand up for their rights are considered a threat. What do you think of the interview? Does this sheriff need to be reminded that the Constitution has more power in this country than he does? 
1	Expressing concern at the noticeable lack of intensity at his campaign events, Republican presidential candidate John Kasich confided to reporters Thursday that hes worried hell never possess the charisma necessary to incite his supporters into a crazed, violent frenzy. I know Im good at discussing policy and laying out my vision for America, but if Im being honest, Im beginning to think I just might not have that kind of special energy that voters seem to respond to by shouting bigoted statements or threatening physical violence against others, said Kasich, who conceded that he hadnt even inspired a single attendee at any of his stump speeches to turn against a reporter in their midst, let alone roused an entire crowd to erupt into an out-of-control brawl. Sure, I can get voters to chant my name, but thats as far as it ever goes. It seems to come so easily to some people, but I wouldnt even know the first thing to say to get people so worked up that theyre ready to cold-cock the next immigrant or minority they see. Kasich added that he was seriously concerned his campaign would not be able to recover from the extremely calm and civil rally he held the previous night.

1	Saying they dont want to act too hastily on an issue that deserves a robust and thorough debate, congressional leaders announced Thursday they will wait until after the midterm elections to address the nations ongoing plague of large and highly venomous hornets. With less than a month to go before voters head to the polls, and with 950,000 Americans dead since the unchecked swarms of killer wasps first descended upon the country in July, both Democratic and Republican lawmakers stressed their obligation to put off any legislation until such time as the matter could be given the full and fair attention of the U.S. Congress. We recognize the serious challenge presented by the scourge of hornets currently blotting out the sun and leaving much of our nation shrouded in darkness, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said during a fundraising breakfast for members of his caucus facing tough reelection campaigns. This is an important issue that we are committed to addressing. But we owe it to every citizen now suffering a fatal bout of anaphylactic shock brought on by hundreds of simultaneous hornet stings not to act rashly by passing a bill that fails to fully address all aspects of this problem. Until Congress reconvenes later next month, I encourage all Americans to continue putting out vinegar traps and refraining from consuming sugary beverages outdoors, Reid added. The intensely destructive insectsan aggressive, three-inch-long invasive species about which little is yet understoodnow blanket whole cities and swaths of countryside throughout the Midwest and Great Plains, and are projected to reach the Eastern Seaboard within two weeks and expand westward to California by Election Day. Much of the nations infrastructure has been decimated as the hornets gather wood from the exteriors of residences to build massive hives, each of which reportedly weighs thousands of pounds and has led to the collapse of dozens of electrical poles, cell phone towers, and highway overpasses, resulting in frequent blackouts and snarling transportation across the countryall problems that Congress has vowed to deal with as soon as voters cast their ballots next month. Standing on the steps of the Capitol and talking to reporters through the domed hood of his anti-hornet protective gear, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said he is particularly sympathetic to the needs of hornet victims, remarking that in his own home district, livestock and crops have been completely eradicated, many citizens have been permanently deafened by the incessant buzzing of the flying insects, and nearly every resident must scavenge for food at night when the insects are less active. After the elections, well have a better sense of our constituents attitudes toward the rapidly spreading plague of lethal hornets, and well have more time to fully deliberate the issue, Boehner said. Once we develop a more cohesive overall insect policy and establish a set of achievable goals, we can begin crafting the language of a hornet-relief measure that will hopefully garner bipartisan support in both the House and Senate. I know Americans are frustrated, he continued. I would be too if I were confined to my basement between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. every day. But I can assure you that this issue will be among our top priorities in the months ahead. Noting heightened sensitivity around the issue, Beltway observers and leading entomologists said that with a crucial midterm election right around the corner and an estimated billion new hornet larvae maturing every 40 minutes, its not surprising to see both parties engage in partisan finger-pointing in an attempt to distance themselves from the crisis. Republicans have criticized President Obama for his lack of leadership on this issue, and its true he has often appeared aloof, particularly after Omaha, Des Moines, and the greater Kansas City metro area were abandoned and ceded to the swarms, said Larry Sabato, a political scientist at the University of Virginia. But its fair to say that the presidents effectiveness in tackling the hornet threat has been hampered by a Congress that invariably stymies his best efforts, such as a White House proposal to fumigate the entire state of Oklahoma in a last-ditch attempt to save as many lives as we still can. So really, both parties share some of the responsibility for allowing these insects to become the new dominant species on the North American continent, he added. At press time, congressional leaders remarked that because a bill this important should not be passed by lame-duck members who have just been rejected at the polls, an actual vote on comprehensive hornet legislation will have to wait until January, when the new Congress is sworn in. 
1	Attorney General Eric Holder turned in his letter of resignation to President Barack Obama Tuesday after discovering that people willfully participate in the killing of other human beings on a routine basis. 'I am stunned,' a pale and shaking Holder said. 'That's just horrible. People really do that? My God, why?' Sources close to Holder said that he is seeking a position in which he will be less likely to encounter man's inhumanity toward man, perhaps in child protective services. 
3	The medical cartel: too big to fail, too evil to exposeJon Rappoport In this article, I want to examine a related reason. Suppose it was discovered that thousands of bridges around the US were in imminent danger of collapsing? Not because maintenance and repair were lacking, not because the materials used to build them were cheap and shoddy. But because the original designs were inadequate and broke basic rules of engineering. Suppose five or six major manufacturers built their automobiles so the vast majority of power derived from the engines was transferred to one wheel? Suppose the US Dept. of Agriculture recommended that all farmers spray their crops with heavy chlorine instead of water? In other words, the science itself is fraudulent. This revelation, above all, is what the medical cartel tries to guard against. Their profession has shoved in all its chips on the propaganda proposition that it does impeccable science. Science sells. The appearance of it sells. Its the foundation stone of many industries. Were that stone to crack and shatter, all bets would be off. A titanic fraud would come to light. The kind of fraud that would both freeze peoples minds and blow them away. Science is the most powerful rationalization in the modern world. Consensus reality would fail and disperse without it. As Ive covered before, the most conservative mainstream estimate of medically caused death in America is 225,000 people per year. Every credential behind that figure is immaculate. Her review, Is US health the best in the world?, was published on July 26th, 2000, in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Starfields breakdown was as follows: the medical system kills 119,000 people a year in the US as a result of maltreatment in hospitals. The other 106,000 people are killed by FDA-approved medicines. The FDA must approve every drug as safe and effective before it is released for public use. Its the medicines I want to focus on in this article. 106,000 deaths a year translates to an astonishing 1,060,000 deaths per decade. How are these drugs approved? Clinical trials are conducted. Reports of those trials are written. The reports, the studies, are published in peer-reviewed medical journals. The studies ARE the science. If a million people per decade are being killed by the drugs, then a huge number of published studies proclaiming the drugs are safe are sheer fraud. There is no other way to put it. This statement from Marcia Angell, former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine, echoes the fact: 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. (Marcia Angell, MD, The New York Review of Books, January 15, 2009) The medical cartel rests on cataclysmic fraud, scientific fraud. Imagine what would happen if just one major media outlet decided to take on this story and push it for all its worth. Not merely an article or twoan ongoing campaign of relentless exposure. The silence from that quarter speaks volumes about the controlled press and what it stands for. Over the years, Ive written much about the FDA. I thought Id assemble a small fraction of it in one place, to reveal what this federal agency is really all about and why it should be dismantled, amid a blizzard of prosecutions and convictions for negligent homicide and, yes, murder. The discovery of a page, on the FDAs own website, proves the FDA is fully aware that: the drugs it certifies as safe have been killing Americans, at the rate of 100,000 per year. The FDA website page is available under the heading, Why Learn About Adverse Drug Reactions. You can google it. The FDA takes no blame, no responsibility for its own actions, and yet it admits the death statistics are accurate. Understand this very clearly. No medical drug in America can be released for public use until and unless the FDA states it is safe. The FDA is the agency that makes every such decision on every drug. The buck stops there. Yes, the FDA has a special relationship with the pharmaceutical industry. Yes, the FDA utilizes doctors on their drug-approval panels that have ties to the pharmaceutical industry. But, in the end, it is the FDA official seal that opens the gate and permits a drug to be prescribed by doctors and sold in the US. In all my research on this medical-drug holocaust, I have never found a case in which any FDA employee was censured, fired, or criminally prosecuted for the killing effects of these drugs. That is a track record Organized Crime would be proud of, and the comparison is not frivolous. On this FDA website page, the FDA also readily admits that medical drugs are the fourth leading cause of death in America, ahead of pulmonary disease, diabetes, AIDS, pneumonia, accidents, and automobile fatalities. The FDA website page also states there are 2 million serious adverse reactions (ADRs) from the ingestion of medical drugs, annually, in the US. That would be 20 million ADRs per decade. When the FDA says serious, they arent talking about headaches or slight dizziness or temporary nausea. Serious means stroke, heart attack, neurological damage; destruction of that magnitude. Examining these figures for death and debilitation, can you find any comparable documented crime in the American landscape? This is the kind of story that would make Watergate look like a Sunday-school picnic. If a paper like the New York Times let loose their hounds to relentlessly explore the horror, I assure you that, in time, doctors and medical bureaucrats and even drug-company employees would come out of the woodwork with confessions, and the resultant explosions and outcries would shake the medical/pharmaceutical foundations of America and the planet. It would shake and destroy the SCIENCE. But these major media outlets are an intrinsic part of the Matrix that protects and sustains the crimes and the criminals. It isnt just drug-advertising profits that keep the leading newspapers and television networks silent. Its collusion to protect a revered institutionthe medical system. Also at stake is Obamacare. The connection is vivid and unmistakable. Millions more Americans, previously uninsured, will be drawn into the system and subjected to the very drugs are killing and maiming people at such a horrific rate. Where has the US Department of Justice been all these years? Is there any way, under the sun, that a million deaths per decade can be excused? Is there any way the FDA and the drug companies can float safely in the upper atmosphere of privilege, while the concept of justice retains any meaning? Where are criminal prosecutions? Meanwhile, the FDA pursues an agenda of attacking nutritional supplements, and the latest federal regulations classify these supplements as potentially dangerousdespite the fact that supplements have a record of safety that is astonishing. It is time for the public to realize that 100,000 people dying every year in the US, because they take medical drugs, is the equivalent of 33 airliner crashes into the Twin Towers, every year, year after year. If you were a medical reporter for a major media outlet in the US, and you knew the above fact, wouldnt you make it a priority to say something, write something, do something? Im talking about people like Sanjay Gupta (CNN, CBS), Gina Kolata (NY Times), Tim Johnson (ABC News), and Thomas Maugh II (LA Times). And with that, lets get to another smoking gun. The citation is: BMJ June 7, 2012 (BMJ 2012:344:e3989). Author, Jeanne Lenzer. Lenzer refers to a report by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices: It calculated that in 2011 prescription drugs were associated with two to four million people in the US experiencing serious, disabling, or fatal injuries, including 128,000 deaths. The report called this one of the most significant perils to humans resulting from human activity. And here is the final dagger. The report was compiled by outside researchers who went into the FDAs own database of serious adverse [medical-drug] events. Therefore, to say the FDA isnt aware of this finding would be absurd. The FDA knows. Since the Department of Homeland Security is working its way into every nook and corner of American life, hyper-extending its mandate to protect all of us from everything, maybe DHS should stop tracking every move we make and simply raid and arrest all employees of the FDA as terrorists. The details could be sorted out later. How many smoking guns do we need before a sitting president shuts down the FDA buildings, fumigates them, and builds a monument to dead Americans the FDA has driven into their graves? Do we need 100,000 smoking guns? Do we need relatives of the people whove all died, in the span of, say, merely a year, from the poisonous effects of FDA-approved medical drugs, to bring their corpses and coffins to the doors of FDA headquarters? And let me ask another question. If instead of drugs like warfarin, dabigatran, levofloxacin, carboplatin, and lisinopril (the five leading killers in the FDA database), the 100,000 deaths per year were led by gingko, ginseng, vitamin D, niacin, and raw milk, what do you think would happen? Ill tell you what would happen. SEALS, Delta Force, SWAT teams, snipers, predator drones, tanks, and infantry would be attacking every health-food store in America. The resulting fatalities would be written off as necessary collateral damage in the fight to keep America safe and healthy. But you see, the routine deaths of 100,000 Americans a year, after the FDA has certified the drugs are SAFE, isnt a recognized political issue. Such is the power of the medical cartel. All those phony stories in the press, reported dutifully by so-called medical reporters? The stories about maybe-could-be-possible-miracle breakthroughs just over the horizon of state-of-the-art research? Those stories are there to obscure the very, very hard facts of medically-caused death on the ground. The buck stops at the FDA. Imagine this. You go to an FBI web page and read the following: Killings committed by FBI agents are the third leading cause of death in America every year. Yet somehow, the FDA gets away with its crimes, its homicides. There are no alarm bells, no arrests, no hearings, no public statements, no press reactions, no shakeups at the Agency. The power of the medical cartel is gigantic. When I was running for a Congressional seat from the 29th District of California, in 1994, and during my participation in the Health Freedom movement of that period, I insisted we had to take the attack to the FDA. We had to make their crimes public. I was told by the people who were leading the charge for Health Freedom that priority had to be given to passing a law that would protect us all from attacks on nutritional supplements. Then, when we had that law, we could think about going after the FDA. Well, we got the law, which only gave us temporary protection, and afterward there was no going after the FDA. It was suddenly a dead issue. I remember the people who said, Dont attack the FDA. I remember their attitudes, their faces, their words. They were not my friends, and they werent your friends. Some of them were yuppies selling lets be nice New Age sentiment. A few were most likely plants who had infiltrated the Health Freedom movement to water it down. Various liars sell their lies through various strategies. I assure you, there are doctors out there who know the statistics on medically caused death in the US. They know about the drugs that kill. They know whats going on. They know the FDA is accountable. They remain silent. They feel no pressure to make a public statement. Theyre living under the umbrella of protection provided by the government and the press and the medical system. These doctors are silent witnesses to ongoing mass murder. Just as the FDA is a silent witness to its own mass-murdering practices. And of course, the doctors write the prescriptions for the drugs. Obama, Bush, Clinton; none of these men have indicated the slightest awareness of the problem. Did they know? Do they know? Just as I predicted, correctly, that the FDA knows, I say these men do know. They prefer to remain silent as well. They dont want to touch this genocidal crime. They dont have the character or the courage. Presidents and deans of medical schools know. Teachers at these schools know. Pharmaceutical executives know. Medical researchers know. The CDC knows. The World Health Organization knows. Editors and reporters at major press outlets know. The DEA knows. The US Dept. of Justice knows. As far as the public is concerned, a matrix of hypnotic effect and cognitive dissonance is the obstacle. People find it extremely difficult to believe that a federal agency, in broad daylight, year after year, countenances and sustains the unnecessary deaths of 100,000 people. People find it extremely difficult to believe that, were such a story true, they would not have heard about it already. People want to believe that a crime of this boggling magnitude would already have been prosecuted to the full extent of the law. People want to believe the secular religion known as Medicine is devoted to healing in all its forms. People want to believe that, since doctors can put accident victims back together in one piece and can set broken bones and temporarily reduce inflammation, the practice of medicine must be uniformly successful across the board. People want to believe in SCIENCE. In a stunning 2012 interview with Truthouts Martha Rosenberg, former FDA drug reviewer, Ronald Cavanagh, exposed the FDA as a relentless criminal mafia protecting its client, Big Pharma, with a host of mob strategies. Cavanagh: widespread [FDA] racketeering, including witness tampering and witness retaliation. I was threatened with prison. One [FDA] manager threatened my childrenI was afraid that I could be killed for talking to Congress and criminal investigators. Cavanagh reviewed new drug applications made to the FDA by pharmaceutical companies. He was one of the holdouts at the Agency who insisted the drugs had to be safe and effective before being released to the public. But honest appraisal wasnt part of the FDA culture, and Cavanagh swam against the tide, until he realized his life and the life of his children was on the line. What was his covert task at the FDA? Drug reviewers were clearly told not to question drug companies and that our job was to approve drugs. In other words, rubber stamp them. Say the drugs were safe and effective when they were not. Cavanaghs recalls a meeting where a drug-company representative flat-out stated that his company had paid the FDA for a new-drug approval. Paid for it. As in bribe. He remarks that the drug pyridostigmine, given to US troops to prevent the effects of nerve gas, actually increased the lethality of certain nerve agents. Cavanagh recalls being given records of safety data on a drugand then his bosses told him which sections not to read. Obviously, they knew the drug was dangerous and they knew exactly where, in the reports, that fact would be revealed. As I mentioned above, the original study-review on medically caused death in America was written by Dr. Barbara Starfield and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Three years ago, shortly before her death, I interviewed Dr. Starfield. I asked her whether any government agency had ever contacted her about her findings, in the nine years since publication No, she said. I asked her whether she was aware of any federal agency undertaking action to remedy the horrific killing effects of the US medical system. No, she said. Try this image: you are a gatekeeper. Your job, on the first day of every year, is to unlock the gate and leave it open, so people can pass through. But you know that, when you open the gate, 100,000 people who pass through will die in the following year. Yet, every January 1, you keep opening the gate. Thats what the FDA is. That particular gatekeeper. But of course, the people at the FDA are just like us. They wouldnt do THAT, they wouldnt do THAT, they wouldnt do that But they did. They do. They continue to do it.

1	In his most strongly worded pronouncement yet, Surgeon General J. Putnam Andrews issued a stern warning to all U.S. citizens Monday that, if provoked, he may prove 'seriously hazardous' to their health. Surgeon General J. Putnam Andrews cautioned Americans that he may kill without warning. 'A number of recent clinical studies have shown that messing with me poses a significant health risk to any motherfucker who thinks he is man enough to try it,' a visibly agitated Andrews said at Monday's press conference. 'I would strongly advise all Americans not to even think about it.' According to Andrews, 'Field data collected at several Washington, DC, bars last night demonstrates a strong causal link between getting in my face and the development of several potentially life-threatening conditions, including but not limited to: cracked skulls, ruptured chest cavities and severed spinal cords.' Andrews announced his support for a new, federally mandated warning label across his chest, which would advise those near him that a serious number may be done on their asses if they keep it up. 'This is the only reliable manner in which Americans can be cautioned about the very real health risks posed by me,' he said. In addition to the new warning label, Andrews announced that an education program stressing the importance of generally avoiding him will tour the nation's elementary schools starting next month. Andrews then unveiled the program's theme song, 'Stay The Hell Out Of His Goddamn Way': 'When J. Putnam comes around/play it safe and get the fuck out of town,' sang a visibly nervous 'Trevor,' the rapping kangaroo who stars in the show. As helpful as the proposed program is expected to be, Andrews stressed that it is not enough. 'It is up to families to take surgeon general safety and avoidance education into their own hands,' he said. 'Don't wait for your kids to ask about me. Approach them and talk to them now, because one day it may be too late.' Less than an hour after his controversial pronouncement, following a brutally violent altercation with a group of tobacco-industry lobbyists, Andrews fled the nation's capital and has been missing ever since. Andrews is believed to be traveling with an elite platoon of highly trained surgeons, who remain intensely loyal to the Surgeon General's command. 'If you do see this man, use extreme caution. Do not attempt to confront him,' White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry warned. 'The public is advised that approaching Andrews in any way could lead to ass-kickings, severe lung and heart problems, and low fetal birth weights among pregnant women.' Andrews is the first surgeon general to go rogue since May 1994, when Joycelyn Elders went berserk, telling media representatives that she does not believe schools should teach children that masturbation is wrong. A White House special-operatives squad was able to terminate Elders before she could do any further damage, but fear of an out-of-control surgeon generalan office that many government officials have long believed has 'too much unchecked power'has remained ever since. 
3	13 Steps to Prepare for Civil UnrestGaye Levy These are still uneasy times. The names and faces of the powers-that-be may be different, but the actions are the same. Normal, ordinary middle class families are still struggling and corporate corruption, hidden agendas, and cover-ups are still commonplace. The threat of an Ebola or other pandemic, global economic collapse, severe water shortages, and immigration/border woes simply add to our concern about the future. Fear, sickness, and deprivation evoke chaos; and as we reach that tipping point, it seems only prudent to prepare for civil unrest, riots, looting, crimes against persons, domestic terrorism, and more. Today I take another look at the potential for a perfect storm. In doing so, I have updated and expanded upon the steps we can take now to prepare for civil unrest. 13 Steps to Help You Prepare for Civil Unrest 1. Ensure that your basic preps and backup supplies are in order. This includes an adequate supply of food, water and sanitation supplies. Two weeks is a bare minimum. Three months or more is better. 2. Take stock of your first aid kit and medical supplies including necessary prescription drugs. Medical supplies, remedies, and prescription drugs will likely be in short supply if there is civil unrest. For ideas, see the first aid section of this article. 3. Learn homesteading skills and self-sufficiency skills regardless of whether you are living in an apartment, condo,house, orrural homestead. Read 12 Ways to Homestead in Place for ideas. 4. Inventory the security features in your home to determine weaknesses that need to be strengthened. Read A Dozen Home Security and Crime Prevention Tips for the Prepper for tips. 5. Set up a personal self-defense system. If you own a firearm, apply for a concealed weapons permit, stock up on ammo and practice shooting at the range. Invest in pepper sprays, billy clubs, sling shots, and other tools that will arm you against the bad guys. 6. Form a community of like-minded people that will band together for protection and safety during times of chaos. This is going to be tough because trust will be an issue when your back is to the wall. A good book to read for ideas is actually a piece of fiction by James Wesley Rawles, Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse. 7. Stockpile cash in small bills. In a massive and chaotic riot situation, ATMs and banks are likely to be inaccessible, closed,or inoperable. 8. Accumulate goods for barter. When the shelves are empty or the stores are closed, you may need to call on others for the supplies you need but did not anticipate. Have something to barter. Spirits (including beer, wine and good old Jack Daniels) are always good choices as as are candles, batteries, food, sanitation supplies, and first aid items are good to have an hand for barter as are fresh eggs and home grown garden vegetables. See 40 Items to Barter in a Post-Collapse World. 9. Dont forget about children, the elderly and pets. In a riot or lock down, they may become fearful and panicked. Stow away some amusements and comfort items for them as well. 10. Invest in a reference library of books, manuals, and survival guides. Dont forget to include fiction as well as non-fiction plus reading materials suitable for a variety of differentages. 11. Acquire communication equipment so that you can keep in touch with family members and the outside world. This may include an emergency radio, a shortwave scanner, a HAM radio or something else. Your gear will do you no good if you do not know how to use it. If it is too complicated, create a cheat sheet or find something simpler to use. Practice often! 12. Develop a family emergency plan so that everyone knows what to do and where to meet in the event the worst happens. See Survival Basics: 10 Steps for Preparing a Family Emergency Plan. 13. Keep a level head and your mouth shut. If, during times of unrest, you are pulled into a police net, the first thing you should do is call a lawyer. Be courteous and polite and do not resist. Print out the following and keep it in your wallet and in your car along with your registration: IF YOU ARE ARRESTED OR CONFRONTED BY THE POLICE 1. First, ask to call your lawyer. The ACLU also has a printable card you can download and keep with you: What To Do If Youre Stopped By Police. For more information, you can also download the booklet Your Rights When Encountering Law Enforcement. A Word About Civil Unrest As you read through this list, keep in mind that according to Army field manual FM 3-19.15: In these modern times, demonstrations, civil unrest, public disorder, and riots happen for a number of reasons. Some of these reasons are economic hardships, social injustices, ethnic differences (leading to oppression), objections to world organizations or certain governments, political grievances, and terrorist acts. An event can be triggered by a single cause or a combination of causes. If nothing else, this should give you something to think about as you adapt your preparedness efforts to survive civil unrest. The Final Word How close are we to a perfect storm of civil unrest? If you had asked that question two years ago, I would have said soon. Now my answer is more vague as the maladies of our society have become the new normal. I wont go so far as to say we have been coerced into this new normalcy, but rather that we have already learned to adapt. If and when the tipping point comes, there will be chaos. Our hope, as preppers, is that we will ride it out to safety. As to when this will happen or if it will happen? That is anyones guess. That said, although people in cities and urban areas will bear the brunt of the first wave, rural communities and remote locations will not be immune. Over time, mobs will migrate outward in search of food, supplies and just about anything else they can get their hands on in a collapsed society. The writing is on the wall in plain sight for those that want to see it. And for those that care not to look? When the SHTF dont come knocking on my door because there will be no one there to answer. Enjoy your next adventure through common sense and thoughtful preparation!

It definitely won the hearts of Internet users everywhere, as well as Vimeo, the video site that hosted it. Triumph? Or are the laughs on you? Notable moment: Did we put a baby in here? What about an ethnic old man whose wrinkled smile represents the happiness and wisdom of the poor? Yep. So, fun stuff aside, to take a deeper look at viral advertisement If you dont know who Edward Bernays (nephew to Sigmund Freud) is or his impact on marketing and culture creation, check out the book Propaganda. You can also watch the documentary mini-series, The Century of the Self. He is discussed heavily in all four parts as well as how different organizations, corporate America and the CIA used his techniques to corral an unsuspecting public. Although he didnt come up with the idea of propaganda, he took it to a whole new level at a major turning point in media during early 20th century America and has everything to do with TV/Internet programming today.

'Mike Vick is a guy who not only holds the same values as Jerry, but epitomizes what the Cowboys mean to the NFL,' Phillips said. 'Jerry has set up our program so that any thug, gangster, or hooligan can immediately make a contribution, not just to this team, but to this community. And while Jerry doesn't put much emphasis on criminal records and statistics, I know that he's always been impressed with what Vick has achieved.'

2	Loudmouth Obama Voter Punches Cop In The Face, Gets BRUTAL Wakeup Call [VIDEO] After seven years with Barack Obama as president, violence and disrespect toward police officers is at an all-time high. The law is the law, however, and police officers arent backing down. In this new viral video, one woman learns that lesson the hard way. The person who captured the footage posted it on YouTube with the following description: On our way back from the movies on The N train at around 3:00 am, As the train is about to leave the station This police officer (the white/asian one) who was at the platform, spots the Young female with her feet extended on the seat. He asks the girl to step out of the train to which she refuses and the video shows what happens after that. The officer couldve just given her a ticket. It was late, the trains werent running properly, so its understanding why she refused to step out of the train. She made the mistake of punching the officer though. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
2	Waffle House Denies U.S. Soldier Service For THIS Sickening Reason According to recent reports, National Guard soldier Billy Welch was recently denied breakfast at a Waffle House for wearing his uniform and a firearm in his holster. Welch sat down at a table and ordered his food, when he was signaled over by a waitress. She told him that if he didnt surrender his firearm, he would not be able to eat at the establishment. You know, if I cant have my firearm, then I cant be here, Welch told the waitress. I dont feel comfortable taking my firearm away from me. I always keep it with me. An onlooker, Micaela Shaw, was shocked that Welch was being told to surrender his Second Amendment Rights, and posted about the incident on her Facebook page. I have a bunch of family members and friends who have been active military and in the military and retired and it hurts my feelings when people disrespect them, Shaw continued. Waffle House was forced to respond to the incident after outraged Americans began contacting them, but heres all they had to say: For many years we have had a no firearms policy in place in our restaurants, the owner concluded. We continue to believe this is the best policy for the safety of our customers and associates. What do you think of the incident? Is this just wrong? 
3	The GOP Is Dying Because The Liberty Movement Is ThrivingBrandon Smith, Contributor For any saucer-eyed skeptic who still believes that all disinformation is mere coincidence or personal bias rather than an engineered and coordinated conspiracy, I would like to point out the sudden, similar and simultaneous conclusions of MSM pundits in the wake of Barack Obamas victory in November. You would think that there would be hundreds if not thousands of conflicting ideas about what really happened this year, but instead, Americans are being presented with a chorus of identical viewpoints. One meme that is being spread widely in the mainstream that I do actually agree with is that the Republican Party is dying. Oh yes, this is undoubtedly true. The GOP is on the fast track to the stew pot (or maybe another pot), but what the mainstream fails to mention is that this is something that alternative analysts in the Liberty Movement have been predicting for years, long before the name Barack Obama ever haunted the dreams of average Republicans, and this raises an important question; what did the alternative media see that the mainstream media missed? Ironically, those of us in the movement who have deeply considered the election aftermath have predominantly concluded that it is WE who have taken the mojo out of the GOP, and frankly, were happy to do so The GOP is dying because it no longer supports or nurtures the progress of true and traditional conservative values or the people who hold them. The GOP is fading into the bowels of political history because real conservatives are LEAVING it behind, and searching for other more legitimate avenues. These are the cold hard facts which the establishment and those who aid in its dominance have tried to keep out of the mainstream limelight post election. They have concocted a swarm of unsupported and absurd talking points which have been unleashed shotgun-style on the unsuspecting American populace. Their goal? To hide the fact that the Liberty Movement has gained enough momentum to bury the Neo-Con led GOP and even swing state contests at will, simply by not participating in the farce. During the 2010 mid-term elections, there was a mass resurgence in conservative voting based almost entirely on Tea Party optimism. Some might argue that the Tea Party was a sham, and I would have to agreeto a point. The Tea Party didnt start out that way (I know because I was involved during its inception). In the beginning it was a legitimate force for reduced government power and spending, and increased protection for civil liberties revolving mainly around the campaign of Ron Paul. That changed, though, when Neo-Con elites began weaseling their way into the club, gushing about how they loved freedom. What these vermin do not understand, though. is that it takes more than rhetoric to hold onto Liberty Movement voters; you also have to back your words with action, and this is exactly why some career Republicans were shown the door in 2012. Not because the Democrats were a better choice, but because the Republicans had not lived up to the promises they made two years ago. Neo-Con toadies would, of course, sneer at my observations, and tell a completely different story on why they are losers Lets take a look at just a few of the mainstream media and GOP leadership arguments and propaganda initiatives and why they are shameless fabrications meant to hide Liberty Movement influence Lie #1: U.S. Demographics Are Changing And The GOP Platform Does Not Appeal To Minorities The MSM and others are essentially suggesting that only white people will ever vote Republican, and by association, that only white people value conservatism and Constitutionalism. They are also cleverly and subconsciously implanting the idea that most minorities will only ever vote for a socialist and statist candidate (like Obama) in the future, or, that they will vote based entirely on skin color. That is to say, they are inferring that minority voters are predominantly narrow minded and stupid, and are also promoting a fabricated division based on race. To illustrate why the demographics argument is a lie, I would like to use the examples of Allen West and Denny Rehberg; both high value Republicans in state races who unexpectedly lost to the Democrats. Allen West, a black male candidate for the 22nd Congressional District of Florida, ran on a Tea Party limited government platform in 2010, and won by a margin of around 20,000 votes over Ron Klein, a white male Democrat. In 2012, West ran against another white male Democrat, Patrick Murphy, in Floridas 18th District and lost by 2000 votes. Obviously, Floridas vast population and myriad minority groups did NOT play the only part in Wests victory in 2010, or his loss in 2012. If skin color was ever the primary issue, then he should have won easily in 2012, just as he did in 2010 according to those who make the changing demographics race based argument. Wests opponents, Klein in 2010 and Murphy in 2012, had very similar and very standard Democratic Party policies, and neither man was overly interesting or influential. West did not suddenly have to face down a Dem. powerhouse in 2012; just another boring-as-crackers lefty. West ran two campaigns against almost identical opponents under almost identical social conditions, somehow winning one, and losing the other. So, what happened? What was different in 2012? The fact is, the only thing different in 2012 was that this time around liberty based voters knew West was not a true conservative. West was a fraud, and a statist, and the Liberty Movement cast him out by declining to vote for him. Almost immediately after Wests victory in 2010, his limited government constitutionalist persona began to change. He voted to strengthen pork programs which continue to pump fiat federal monies into local governments, generating massive national debt and making state officials beholden to federal control. He voted yes to line-item veto authority for the President, bypassing the constitutionally delineated powers of Congress. He supported CISPA (Cyber Intelligence Sharing And Protection Act) which would have given government incredible legal power to violate the privacy rights of ordinary Americans. And last, but certainly worst, West not only voted for the NDAA despite its unconstitutional indefinite detainment provisions, he also worked to strike down initiatives to remove language in the NDAA that made it applicable to U.S. citizens. To ice the cake, he openly admitted to serving on the Armed Forces Committee which reviewed the bill before it was even released, and later attempted to lie about what it actually did. Why would a supposed constitutionalist and conservative champion applaud the legislated rendition and indefinite imprisonment of American citizens without trial and without due process all on the mere accusation of terrorism by the President, and then pretend as if that power was not granted by the bill? Because, he is a fake conservative and an establishment thug. In my home state of Montana, Republican Denny Rehberg ran a highly anticipated race for Senate against incumbent Democrat John Tester. Rehbergs platform was just like Allan Wests; pro-Tea Party, limited government, thumbs up to the Constitution, and wrap up in the flag for good measure. Rehberg had won many of his U.S. Representative campaigns by a vast margin leading up to his decision to run for Senate (around 60% to his opponents 30%). I can say that in a state like Montana, the idea of changing demographics affecting the election is laughable. Montana is freaken white! W-H-I-T-E! Rehberg, a Republican dreamboat candidate complete with carefully groomed cowboy mustache was thought to be a sure win in this state. By my personal observations seeing him at functions including a local Lincoln/Reagan dinner, I would say HE thought he was a sure win, to the point of ego-mania. So in a predominantly white and predominantly conservative state, how did Rehberg lose? Because elections have little to do with demographics or party, and everything to do with the integrity of the person running, especially where the Liberty Movement is concerned. Rehbergs professed fuzzy feelings for freedom and limited government were undeniably false. His consistent support for big government programs aside, he voted for and viciously defended the NDAA. When approached by Stewart Rhodes of Oath Keepers at a Republican function about his vote for rendition and permanent detention without trial for American citizens, he side-stepped the question completely, and accused Rhodes (a veteran Army Paratrooper) of not supporting the troops. Rehbergs attitude did not go unnoticed by the Liberty Movement population in Montana, and like Conrad Burns, the Republican incumbent who had been unseated in 2006, he lost by a substantial margin of voters who instead backed a Libertarian third party candidate. The argument for changing demographics was certainly not applicable in either of these two incidences, along with numerous other state and local elections I do not have the space to mention. It also does not take into account the millions of Americans who refrain from voting because they feel utterly unrepresented in the election process. This lie is being pushed in order to hide the real change in America: a movement towards legitimacy and humility in government, rather than hubris and tyranny. Lie #2: The GOP Does Not Appeal To Young Voters, Who Are Predominantly Liberal (Socialist) I would still be considered a young voter, and so would many of my closest friends. They and I had all but abandoned politics in disgust years ago when we discovered Ron Paul, one of the only representatives in Washington D.C. that we felt actually embodied the traditional constitutional methodology (original conservatism). Not only had he received the highest amount of donations from the men and women of the U.S. military, he was also packing sold out speaking events on college campuses across the country while Obama and Romney were crawling on hands and knees throwing free tickets at elementary school children just to get a minor crowd. The point is, Ron Paul, a true conservative, was energizing the youth vote and even bringing some Democrats over from the socialist dark side. The idea that a young voter is predestined to embrace collectivist nanny government and sell their soul to the Democratic Party is a lie of epic proportions. The GOP could have had them on board anytime they wanted; all they had to do was nominate Ron Paul as their presidential candidate. Instead, they went with yet another Neo-Con ghoul whose rhetoric and record was nearly identical to Obamas. The GOP could have won, if they had actually wanted to win. But then, it would have meant disrupting the false left right paradigm, and surely, the establishment cant have that Lie #3: The GOP Needs To Evolve With Our Progressive Times Instead Of Clinging To Traditional Conservative Principles Ultimately, this lie is designed to infer that the Republican Party needs to take on a more collectivist attitude in order to appeal to the rising tide of a younger generation and our nations so-called changing demographics. Hilariously, the lie is suggesting that the GOP do what they have in fact already done: go full socialist. The Republican Party has not clung to traditional conservative principles for a very long time. Over the course of the past several decades it has become a haven for the minions of Leo Strauss, a statist and Platonian fascist whose job was to subvert the core of conservatism and warp it into a festering cesspool of elitism much like the Democratic Party. The GOP has failed because this elitism is now undeniably present, and the party has lost its ability to hide what it has become. When a sad victim of academia tries to argue that the cause of our economic crisis is the evil of the free market, I always point out that he/she has actually never lived in a world where true free markets exist. They have, for their entire lives, lived under a socialized and centralized economic system, and so, blaming free markets for their financial woes is like blaming Tasmanian Tigers for the death of their Chihuahua. The same goes for conservatism. When people wail against the crimes of George W. Bush and the possible return of a conservative presidency, I always point out that Bush was not a conservative, and that there hasnt been a legitimately conservative GOP since before they were born. The Republican Party has already delved into the realm of centralized despotism as much as the Democratic Party has. Its only salvation now is to reverse course back towards limited government and freedom, not continue into federalized oblivion. Lie #4: The Liberty Movement Had No Influence On The Elections Whatsoever As I have shown, proponents of constitutional values have indeed swayed particular elections, at least at the state and local level. Therefore, the assertion is meant to inject disinformation in pursuit of a particular end. Strangely, I heard this argument all throughout the primaries and up until the week after Obama declared victory; the argument that our movement does not matter and will never gain tangible momentum. And yet, all through the primaries up until the day before elections the Neo-Cons were either courting us with gifts, goodies, and offers of a place at the table, or attacking us viciously as traitors to our own ideals whose non-participation was akin to a vote for the Antichrist (Obama). Now, my question is; if the Liberty Movement doesnt matter, then why were GOP cronies so desperate to convince us to vote party line? Why did they feel the need to regurgitate the lesser of to evils argument over and over again? Why did it matter to them if we voted for Romney, or voted third party, or didnt vote at all? If our influence is so minuscule, then why invite Liberty Movement representatives like Rand Paul or Sheriff Mac to cheerlead for the guy who will drive the bus off the cliff slower? Why try in a grade school manner to shame us into setting aside our principles? Why not simply ignore us and let us wallow in our own obscurity. I see two possibilities First, that the Liberty Movement has grown strong enough to encompass a sizable mass of voting power, at least large enough to ensure that many GOP candidates will win or lose by a particular margin. That margin may be thin and we may not yet be in a position to launch our own party, but without us, they know they are likely to fall short, and this problem is only going to grow as time passes. They court us, or attack us, because they realize they cannot win despite us. Second, if you subscribe to the well documented idea that elections, at least at the federal level, are entirely staged (which I do), then you might ask yourself again why the GOP elite were grasping for the Liberty Movement to relinquish for the sake of defeating Obama. If Obama and Romney are essentially the same monkey, the same exact errand boy for the same exact globalist puppeteers, then what the hell do they need our vote for? Romney wins, and they get what they want. Obama wins and they get what they want. Unlesswhat they really wanted was our participation in the farce. Thats right, perhaps the greater purpose of the endless lesser-of-two-evils charade was to see if the establishment could convince us to compromise our conscience and be drawn back into the game. Maybe, just maybe, it was all a test, of you, of us, to discern how much of the Liberty Movement could be conned or swayed with moral relativism. Perhaps the death rattle of the Republican industrial complex was due to the one thing that the media will never spotlight in a 60 minute primetime special; the fact that the majority of the burgeoning Liberty Movement refused to sell out, proving that the GOP is no longer effective at keeping us reigned in or co-opted. The GOP is dying and we are thriving.

3	The War on Americas Military VeteransJohn W. Whitehead Just in time for Memorial Day, were once again being treated to a generous serving of praise and grandstanding by politicians and corporations eager to go on record as being supportive of our veterans. Patriotic platitudes aside, however, America has done a deplorable job of caring for her veterans. We erect monuments for those who die while serving in the military, yet for those who return home, theres little honor to be found. Despite the fact that the U.S. boasts more than 23 million veterans who have served in World War II through Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan, the plight of veterans today is deplorable, with large numbers of them impoverished, unemployed, traumatized mentally and physically, struggling with depression, thoughts of suicide, and marital stress, homeless (a third of all homeless Americans are veterans), subjected to sub-par treatment at clinics and hospitals, and left to molder while their paperwork piles up within Veterans Administration (VA) offices. Then again, as I detail in my book A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State, the government has been breaking its promises to the American people for a long time now, starting with its most sacred covenant to uphold and defend the Constitution. Yet if the government wont abide by its commitment to respect our constitutional rights to be free from government surveillance and censorship, if it completely tramples on our right to due process and fair hearings, and routinely denies us protection from roadside strip searches and militarized police, why should anyone expect the government to treat our nations veterans with respect and dignity? Indeed, in recent years, military servicemen and womenmany of whom are decoratedhave found themselves increasingly targeted for surveillance, censorship, threatened with incarceration or involuntary commitment, labeled as extremists and/or mentally ill, and stripped of their Second Amendment rights, all for daring to voice their concerns about the alarming state of our union and the erosion of our freedoms. For example, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) program dubbed Operation Vigilant Eagle tracks military veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, and characterizes them as extremists and potential domestic terrorist threats because they may be disgruntled, disillusioned or suffering from the psychological effects of war. Since launching Operation Vigilant Eagle, the government has steadily ramped up its campaign to silence dissidents, especially those with military backgrounds. Coupled with the DHS dual reports on Rightwing and Leftwing Extremism, which broadly define extremists as individuals, military veterans and groups that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely, these tactics have boded ill for anyone seen as opposing the government. An important point to consider, however, is that the government is not merely targeting individuals who are voicing their discontent so much as it is locking up individuals trained in military warfare who are voicing feelings of discontent. Under the guise of mental health treatment and with the complicity of government psychiatrists and law enforcement officials, these veterans are increasingly being portrayed as ticking time bombs in need of intervention. In 2012, for instance, the Justice Department launched a pilot program aimed at training SWAT teams to deal with confrontations involving highly trained and often heavily armed combat veterans. Unfortunately, as weve seen in recent years, the problem with depicting veterans as potential enemy combatants is that any encounter with a military veteran can escalate very quickly into an explosive and deadly situationat least, on the part of law enforcement. For example, Jose Guerena, a Marine who served in two tours in Iraq, was killed in 2011 after an Arizona SWAT team kicked open the door of his home during a mistaken drug raid and opened fire. Thinking his home was being invaded by criminals, Guerena told his wife and child to hide in a closet, grabbed a gun and waited in the hallway to confront the intruders. He never fired his weapon. In fact, the safety was still on his gun when he was killed. The SWAT officers, however, not as restrained, fired 70 rounds of ammunition at Guerena23 of those bullets made contact. Apart from his military background, Guerena had had no prior criminal record, and the police found nothing illegal in his home. John Edward Chesney, a 62-year-old Vietnam veteran, was killed earlier this year by a SWAT team allegedly responding to a call that the Army veteran was standing in his San Diego apartment window waving what looked like a semi-automatic rifle. SWAT officers locked down Chesneys street, took up positions around his home, and fired 12 rounds into Chesneys apartment window. It turned out that the gun Chesney reportedly pointed at police from three stories up was a realistic-looking mock assault rifle. Thankfully, Ramon Hooks encounter with a Houston SWAT team did not end as tragically, but it very easily could have. Hooks, a 25-year-old Iraq war veteran, was using an air rifle gun for target practice outside when a Homeland Security Agent, allegedly house shopping in the area, reported him as an active shooter. It wasnt long before the quiet neighborhood was transformed into a war zone, with dozens of cop cars, an armored vehicle and heavily armed police. Hooks was arrested, his air rifle pellets and toy gun confiscated, and charges filed against him for criminal mischief. Although no toy guns were involved in Brandon Raubs case, his fact scenario is even more chilling, given that he was targeted for exercising his First Amendment rights on Facebook. The 26-year-old decorated Marine actually found himself interrogated by government agents about his views on government corruption, arrested with no warning, labeled mentally ill for subscribing to so-called conspiratorial views about the government, detained against his will in a psych ward for standing by his views, and isolated from his family, friends and attorneys. On August 16, 2012, a swarm of local police, Secret Service and FBI agents arrived at Raubs Virginia home, asking to speak with him about posts he had made on his Facebook page made up of song lyrics, political opinions and dialogue used in a political thriller virtual card game. Among the posts cited as troublesome were lyrics to a song by a rap group and Raubs views, shared increasingly by a number of Americans, that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were an inside job. After a brief conversation and without providing any explanation, levying any charges against Raub or reading him his rights, Raub was then handcuffed and transported to police headquarters, then to a medical center, where he was held against his will due to alleged concerns that his Facebook posts were terrorist in nature. Outraged onlookers filmed the arrest and posted the footage to YouTube, where it quickly went viral. Meanwhile, in a kangaroo court hearing that turned a deaf ear to Raubs explanations about the fact that his Facebook posts were being read out of context, Raub was sentenced to up to 30 days further confinement in a psychiatric ward. Thankfully, The Rutherford Institute came to Raubs assistance, which combined with heightened media attention, brought about his release and may have helped prevent Raub from being successfully disappeared by the government. Even so, within days of Raub being seized and forcibly held in a VA psych ward, news reports started surfacing of other veterans having similar experiences. That the government is using the charge of mental illness as the means by which to immobilize (and disarm) these veterans is diabolically brilliant. With one stroke of a magistrates pen, these service men are being declared mentally ill, locked away against their will, and stripped of their constitutional rights. Make no mistake, these returning veterans are being positioned as enemy number one. Indeed, Raubs case, a prime example of the governments war on veterans, exposes the seedy underbelly of a governmental system that is targeting Americansespecially military veteransfor expressing their discontent over Americas rapid transition to a police state. A federal judge actually dismissed Raubs lawsuit challenging the governments Operation Vigilant Eagle campaign and its increasing view of veterans as potential domestic terrorists as far-fetched. Yet what may sound far-fetched to the courts is a grim reality to Americans who are daily being targeted for daring to exercise their constitutional rights to speak their minds, criticize the government, and defend themselves and their families against over-reaching government surveillance and heavy-handed police tactics. Its ironic, isnt it, that we raise our young people to believe that it is their patriotic duty to defend freedom abroad by serving in the military, then when they return home, bruised and battle-scarred and suddenly serious about defending their freedoms at home, we treat them like terrorists. Then again, perhaps its not so much ironic as it is tragic and pathetica sad tribute, indeed, to those willing to put their lives on the line. Constitutional attorney and author John W. Whitehead is founder and president of The Rutherford Institute. He is the author of A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State and The Change Manifesto. .

3	Will antiwar orgs get behind HCR 107 to prevent war on Syria?Philip C. Restino, Jr., Contributor After a years worth of bloodshed in Libya and simultaneous drum-beating for invading Syria in the same manner, H.Con.Res. 107 was introduced on March 7, 2012 by Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC) threatening impeachment of the President if he were to take the U.S. to war without a proper authorization by Congress. Even with the imminent threat of a U.S./NATO military invasion of Syria which could come any day now before the new Congress is sworn in next month after the holidays there is little, if no mention of the Republican Congressmans HCR 107 from the left-only-need-apply national antiwar organizations, let alone any public endorsements or calls for Congress to support and enact the resolution. The most well probably get from the national left-only-need-apply antiwar organizations, to include our own Veterans For Peace, is some kind of meaningless C-Y-A statement of opposition while the Democrat War Criminal President Obama launches another unabated, blatant war of aggression killing and maiming thousands of innocent brown people, again with the left cover hes been so freely provided over the past 4 years. Obama Impeachment Bill Goes Viral! Anyway, for those who want to take it upon themselves to contact members of Congress so as to urge them to co-sponsor and push for passage and enactment of HCR 107, you can reach the Capital Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 to ask to be connected to a particular member of Congress. Below is the link to a recent article from Tony Cartalucci regarding our own U.S. Government supporting the very same Al Qaeda organization thats been killing and maiming our own U.S. Troops for the past 11 years just so that it can get the regime change in Syria that was laid out in the blueprint for the so-called War on Terror published in September of 2000 by the dual-citizen, neocon members of the Project for a New American Century (aka PNAC).

2	Hillary Clintons Hitman Reveals Dark Secret That She Thought Hed Take To The Grave This week, a former operative for the Clintons dropped a bombshell on the presidential race when he revealed that Hillary Clinton is sex-obsessed and has reportedly paid fixers to set up exploits for her with both men and women. I arranged a meeting for Hillary and a woman in an exclusive Beverly Hills hotel, the man told The National Enquirer, adding that he was hired by Clinton through a Hollywood executive. She had come to the studio to see the filming of a movie in 1994, he recalled. While I was there, I helped her slip out of a back exit for a one-on-one session with the other women. It was made to look casual, leaving quietly [rather] than being caught up in the meleebut really it was for something presumably more sordid. The source, who was able to provide proof of his employment with the Clintons, also disclosed numerous other secrets from Hillarys past to the tabloid. The nine-page cover story will hit newsstands today. Here are just a few of the secrets expected to drop This doesnt look good for Hillary, who has been trying to make Trump look like a sexual deviant for weeks now. What do you think? Could this end her campaign once and for all? 
2	Sheriff Joes Lawsuit Against Obama Just Got Some Great News According to recent reports, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has just announced that they plane to expedite Sheriff Joe Arpaios lawsuit against President Obama, designed to halt the presidents executive action on amnesty. Due to the expedited nature of this case, the court will not entertain dispositive motions, the appeals court stated in the order. The parties should therefore address in their briefs any arguments otherwise properly raised in such motions. Its a big victory for Sheriff Arpaio and, indeed, the American people that the D.C. Circuit recognized the need for this case to be quickly resolved before Obamas unconstitutional amnesty program goes into full effect this spring, claims Larry Klayman, Arpaios attorney. Keep in mind that the D.C. Circuit Court is the second most powerful in the nation, following the Supreme Court. What do you think of the lawsuit?

Kramer goes on to say:Fundamentally, the conference should not be dealing with the Internet sector, and, more bluntly, that theyre interested in Keeping the Internet out of this conference. According to second-hand accounts of the conference by Kramer, Russian representatives propose that telecommunication and Internet security be merged into one issue to be overseen and governed by the ITU. The goal of this conference is to set an international guidance mandate with the UN at the helm with respect to trans-border communications. Because the Internet falls under this obscure definition, the UN sees it as a global asset of which they should have authority to regulate. Canada, Australia, Europe and Japan have joined the US in propositioning the WCIT to limit the range of totalitarian controls the UN can impose on the Internet. This alliance and their ideas are being met with harsh criticism from the ITU. There has been a surprising alliance formed with some Arab nations with Russian and China in allowing the UN to take over the Internet. Nashwa Gad, department manager at Egypts Ministry of Communications Information Technology (MCIT) retracted their previously admitted involvement with the secret draft supported by Russia. Gad stated: Our name was associated to this proposal by mere misunderstanding. Egypt has always been supporting the basic Internet principles that the Internet should remain free, open, liberal. We do not see that the ITU mandate deals with the Internet. The UN and the ITU have kept their new coalition under wraps; as well as the new draft of the global governance treaty that is expected to usurp sovereign nations ability to control their own Internet. It is expected to also facilitate stringent censorship and impose all-encompassing surveillance measures on Web users. As of now, it is being reported that the United Arab Emirates will unveil the coalitions proposals. The secret draft for new recommendations entitled Requirements for Deep Packet Inspection in Next Generation Networks explains that certain issues must be addressed and dealt with at the ITU, such as: Under the direction of Secretary-General Hamadoun Tour, the ITU has moved incrementally toward Internet-centered issues such as cybersecurity, censorship and digital content issues as well as managing the traffic on the Web. At the WTIC, new regulatory rules are being discussed that provide more stringent restrictions as well as creating a money-making scheme for the UN. Because all calls are ultimately digital, transmission control protocol (TCP) are used to oversee the beginning, middle and end of all transmissions; including the data that passes through in the middle. Internet users do not have control over TCP sessions because IP providers generate the system and apply the communications under their own authority. The ITU could intercept this process, instill a charge and the payment would be passed down to the customer. Remote connections would obviously become more costly, although it takes the same amount of data exchange to make all digital connections. In addition, the UTI could have backdoor peering abilities as most ISPs do because the exchange of traffic on the Internet occurs without exchange in the physical world, the UTI could be watching all movement on the Web without detection and claim fees based on observations that are not confirmable or verifiable. It is expected that the ITU would begin a sort of taxation that international telecommunications corporations would be expected to pay for the ITUs handling of Web traffic as it flows across the world. ITU members would be privy to the new-found cash flowthat would be in the hands of international governance; which could begin to line the pockets of the UN in record time. At the inception of the infrastructure of the Internet, the US government funded the project which has now been redirected to private sector corporations. ICANN is contracted with the US Department of Commerce. They are responsible for making sure that websites are searchable, yet also are involved in backdoor attempts to regulate digital data. Policies outlined by ICANN are dictated by private communications giants. Last week, the CIA-sponsored hacker group Anonymous preformed accordingly with a controlled denial-of-service (DNS) attack against the ITU website. They did not actually cause damage to the website, just simply engaged enough traffic to overwhelm the servers temporarily. In a statement, the ITU said: The incident blocked civil society, media and other interested parties from following the proceedings, and prevented access to the wealth of online information on the ITUs WCIT home page and newsroom. Some hacker groups are claiming responsibility. Susanne Posel is the Chief Editor of Occupy Corporatism.

2	BREAKING: Walmart Backs BlackLivesMatter In The Most Disturbing Way Possible In the course of the past year, the Black Lives Matter movement has become increasingly more violent and aggressive. People with direct ties to the movement have been responsible for the cold-blooded murders of numerous police officers. For some reason, this hasnt stopped liberals from allying themselves with the movement and offering BLM their political and financial backing. Though its the last company we thought would make the list, Wal-Mart has just indulged these liberals by agreeing to sell merchandise bearing Black Lives Matter slogans. Wal-Mart customers can now purchase t-shirts and hoodies that say Black Lives Matter and Bulletproof on them. They can also buy photo license plates. This is an outrageous message to send to our nations police officers, who have been in an ongoing battle with the movement. These people put their lives on the line every day. They dont deserve this disrespect. What do you think? Will you boycott Wal-Mart until they remove this merchandise? 
2	Trumps Daughter In Law Comes Out Of Left Field To Drop Bombshell Right In Hillarys Lap... She Never Expected This The mainstream media has been working hard to position Donald Trump as a lost cause who cant possibly win the election. That was called into question when Trumps daughter-in-law went on live television to announce that she has some dirt on Clinton that could destroy her campaign. Well, theres still a couple days left in October, Lara Trump, wife of Eric Trump, told Fox Friends Weve got some stuff up our sleeve. Lara went on to argue that the family is feeling great with just two weeks left until the election. Well, listen, like he said, people have been preparing us for October and the last couple weeks leading up to the election and for quite some time, Lara continued. I think we all knew it would be tough, but this is new to all of us. None of us have ever been involved in politics and I dont think anything can prepare you for, daily, your family member just getting bludgeoned by the media, all angles, all sides, it has been tough, she admitted. Laras comments come just one day after Eric Trump spoke out in defense of his father from accusations of sexual assault. My father is a guy who will fight and he will fight for this country and hes always fought for himself, Eric commented. When Host George Stephanopoulis brought up that People Magazine writer Natasha Stoynoff told six friends and colleagues about the assault when it allegedly happened. George, I just dont believe it, I just dont believe it. And then you come out with with three weeks left in an election, three weeks left in an election. And you know what somebody told me? Eric said. They go, Eric, get ready for October. They told me this months and months ago, get ready for October. Your family will live through the worst, most unthinkable, hardest month of your lives. Get ready for October. What theyll throw at you, what the Clinton machine will throw at you, you know, the dirty tricks, the things that will come out, the things that theyll orchestrate, he continued. What do you think? Could another scandal take Hillary Clinton down for good? 
1	Tracing the unique behavior back to the dawn of civilization, researchers at Monash University announced Wednesday that lowering ones voice to discuss a persons sexual orientation is a physiological trait that evolved in humans over thousands of years. The fossil record shows the human larynx completing a transformation around 11,000 years ago, which coincides with the time period when Homo sapiens appear to have begun speculating about their fellow clan members sexual preferences in fevered whispers, said Dr. Raif Gonzales, who added that evidence from archaeological sites in the Indus valley suggests that, around this time, ancient humans developed the ability to gather in small groups to privately discuss their friends and neighbors, sneak glances over their shoulders, and drop their voices to a hushed, barely audible level when intoning the word gay. Recently unearthed fragments of skull bones suggest eyebrow-raising evolved during this period for much the same purpose. While these are largely vestigial traits nowadays, they are reminders of our ancestors evolutionary tendency to keep this kind of information hush-hush. Researchers stressed that the behavior of lowering ones voice should not be confused with the ability to speak in loud, accusatory tones about a persons sexual orientation, a phenomenon that can be traced back to the first proto-linguistic bellows of angry, insecure primates. 
1	Barely mentioning the Milwaukee Bucks Monday night, the Bradley Center's public-address announcer continually showed blatant favoritism toward the Miami Heat, giving them an overblown introduction that included bombastically shouting each of the starters names, blasting music, and providing a choreographed light show. 'He introduced us first even though we're the home team, and he kind of just mumbled the names of our starters,' point guard Brandon Jennings said. 'Then the lights went out, a laser light show started, and he told the crowd to 'please welcome their Miami Heat.' I wish the crowd wouldn't have cheered so loud, because that just encouraged him more.' Though they were disappointed with their introduction, Bucks players were reportedly impressed with the confetti that fell from the ceiling after their 88-78 loss. 
1	Citing sagging first quarter profits and disappointing 1995 revenue figures, the San Diego Zoo announced yesterday its decision to lay off nearly 2,000 animals, including all giraffes, vultures, elephants, snakes and a number of rare Siberian tigers. The creatures, many of whom have been with the zoo for over 30 years, have been released from their respective cages and pens, and are now free to roam the city in search of new homes, food sources and employment opportunities. The Job Placement Center set up near the zoo's Jungle World exhibit has had no luck placing any of the animals that have come through looking for work. After a two-hour wait, this giraffe was told to brush up on her word processing skills and check back in two months. The decision to lay off all these fine, hard-working animals, who have contributed so much to this zoo over the years, was an extremely difficult one, zoo CEO Jack T. Morgan announced at a shareholders meeting yesterday. We are fully confident, however, that this downsizing will help bring a leaner, healthier San Diego Zoo into the 21st century. According to zoo insiders, the released animals were let go largely due to decreasing productivity. Just look at a gorilla like KoKo, a 41-year-old lowland silverback, noted zoo industry insider Calvert DeCahill said. For the cost of feeding an old gorilla like him, the zoo could get about 15 young howler monkeys, each of whom can do the ass-scratching, swinging and screeching of at least five KoKos. Thats not cruel, thats just smart business. Though released just yesterday, many of the animals have already run into problems with life on the outside. A rare Andalusian yellow-tailed ocelot, one of only 14 known to exist, was killed late last night on Chula Vista Boulevard when it mistook a speeding transit bus for a piece of fruit. At least 15 koalas have also died, foraging for eucalyptus leaves near electrified fences outside a the citys major power plant. Some animals have created inconveniences for others. Kenny, a 950-pound Arctic polar bear, wandered into a downtown supermarkets frozen foods aisle in search of frozen fish products. When a stock boy politely asked the bear to leave, the bear mauled him to death. The animals will no doubt have some trouble adjusting at first, said Morgan, who was brought in from a top Fortune 500 company last year to whip the zoo into financial shape by 1997. Thats only natural when youre switching careers. Some experts are skeptical that every animal will ultimately succeed on the outside. Look at a Galapagos turtle like Shelley, said Beatrice Durning, a U.S. Labor De-partment official. She just laid 400 eggs last week. Where is she ever going to get enough fish, much less find time to go conduct a proper job search? Added biologist Harvey Chist: This is a problem that transcends species, class, order, genus, and even phylum. Others see more than simple economics in yesterdays announcement. Its interesting that all six elephants let go were of African descent, ob-served NAACP spokesperson Ben-jamin J. Watts. None of the Asians were fired. But thats no surprise. Theyve been getting extra peanuts for years. To assist the laid-off animals, the San Diego Zoo has set up a Job Placement Center. Conveniently located near the Jungle World exhibit, the center features a bulletin board posting jobs openings at other zoos, in addition to circuses, nature preserves and traveling freak shows across the U.S. The job center also offers weekly training workshops to help animals build valuable interview, resume and cover letter-writing skills. We cannot keep these animals here anymore, San Diego Zoo vice president Stanley Brock said. But we are doing everything we pos-sibly can to help them get back on their feetassuming they have feet. If they are snakes, or even seals, we will do everything in our power to get them on their proper ap-pen-da-ges. So far, no animals have signed up for the workshops. Employment experts and wildlife naturalists agree that in order to survive, the soon-to-be-unemployed animals must develop and diversify their skills. An Amazon parrot whose only skills are squawking loudly and breaking nuts with its beak has little to offer todays big corporations, said Edmund Wills, a noted naturalist who frequently appears on PBSs All Creatures Great and Small. It must acquire new ones, like learning to fly into stiff winds, how to kill Anaconda snakes, or how to operate popular spreadsheet programs like Quicken and Excel.

Just this week, Michelle sent an embarassing email beginning a member of Congress for help. The leaked email was sent on October 2, and reads as follows: DrewYou cant hold your breath and wait to see who wins the Senate. Its too close for that. We need your help immediately. Ill put it frankly: If we lose these midterm elections, well just see more obstruction, more lawsuits and talk about impeachment, and more votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act or even shut down the government. Thats why I really need you to get off the sidelines and join me. If we go after every single vote, I know well win.

'I've got this watch, then [Vice Marshall Hyon] Yong-chol, you'll take the 12 a.m. to 4 a.m. shift, and [Supreme Peoples Assembly Chairman Kim] Young-nam, you'll do 4 to 8,' Kim reportedly said, instructing aides to search 'every inch' of the first ladys padded bedroom for any concealed vials of poison or sharpened household objects. 'I want eyes on her at all times. If she tries to fashion a noose from a bedsheet, get in there right away.' According to sources, Kim was forced to rush into his wifes room six minutes into his watch upon realizing that her shoelaces hadnt been removed.

2	Ben Carson Suspends His Campaign Because Of Staff In Fatal Car Accident Just yesterday, Ben Carson announced that he would be suspending his campaign after several of his Iowa staffers and volunteers were involved in a car accident. The news was first reported by WCIV-TV reporter Bill Burr. Presidential hopeful Ben Carson was quick to comment on the tragedy, and send his condolences to the family of those involved. The crash occurred at around 11:00 AM, when three volunteers and an employee were traveling in van that hit a patch of ice. The van flipped on its side before being struck by another vehicle. The fatal accident canceled Carsons campaign schedule for Tuesday and Wednesday. Instead, Carson made an emergency trip to Omaha to meet with the family of the deceased. Carson later released the following statement on his campaign site: Alexandria, Va. January 19, 2016 Earlier today in Iowa, a van transporting three campaign volunteers and a Carson campaign employee hit a patch of ice and flipped on its side where it was struck by another vehicle. Three of the passengers, including the campaign staffer driving, are currently being checked out at Cass County Memorial Hospital in Atlantic, Iowa. One volunteer is being transported to the trauma center at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska. Dr. Carson has spoken with the family of the volunteer being transported to Omaha, as well as the attending physician. Dr. Carson has cancelled all remaining campaign events today and will be traveling to Omaha this afternoon to be with the family during this difficult time. Dr. Carson is asking people to join him in prayer for all the individuals and families involved. What do you think? Do you respect the way Carson handled this tragedy?

1	Engaging in the playful mischief that has long been their hallmark, Koch Industries executives Charles and David Koch reportedly took turns entertaining a beautiful woman at a black-tie gala Wednesday night at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, tricking her into believing there was only one of them as part of a complex ruse to win her affections. The billionaire siblings, dressed in identical tuxedos and matching cufflinks, confirmed they had been switching places throughout the evening to convince 36-year-old socialite Amber Curran they were one and the same person, periodically swapping out with each other by leaving the room under the guise of taking an important business call, having a quick word with former mayor Michael Bloomberg, or writing a generous check to the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Agreeing that if they worked together they could boost their chances of wooing the youthful beauty, the pair reportedly hatched a plan in which David, with his charisma and natural sociability, would be called to Currans side whenever the situation required flirtation and lively banter. The pair said that Charles, with his more sensitive and introspective characteristics, would substitute in whenever the social engagement necessitated deeper heart-to-heart discussions about the benefits of drastically lowering personal taxes or repealing environmental regulations. Right now, David is discussing his extensive knowledge of theater with Amber in the Great Hall, but in exactly six minutes, according to our synchronized watches, hell say he has to use the restroom, at which point well rendezvous, Ill take his eyeglasses from him, and jump in to continue the charade, 78-year-old Charles Koch whispered to reporters from a designated stall in the mens lavatory where his brother would soon arrive and update him about the current developments with Curran. As long as my brother and I manage not to appear in the same room at once or mention contradictory personal donation figures to Republican Senate candidates, we should be able to keep up the ruse without being found out. She truly doesnt suspect a thing! the industrialist continued. If everything goes perfectly, David might even convince her to come back to our place in our limo, while I tag along posing as the chauffeur. I have the uniform ready to go under my tux. While they confirmed their elaborate ploy is currently proceeding smoothly, the vocal free-market advocates acknowledged a number of close calls earlier in the evening. In particular, David said he returned to their dinner table not wearing a calla lily that Curran had placed in Charles lapel several minutes earlier, though after stammering for several seconds, David said he was able to slip out of the jam by claiming he had given the flower to the 4-year-old granddaughter of friend and Nova executive producer Paula Apsell, who he claimed had taken a liking to it. In another near disastrous moment, an error in timing reportedly led the two brothers to calamitously join one another on the dance floor instead of Curran, prompting Charles to hastily cut in on a dance between hedge fund magnate George Soros and his wife and waltz off in the opposite direction in order to avoid being seen by their date. At one point, I walked right in on Charles and Amber as they were enjoying a vintage Bordeaux on the veranda, forcing me to pick up a nearby tray and masquerade as a waiter so as not to arouse her suspicions, said David Koch while peeking out at his brother and their date through an elaborate floral display. However, after she pointed out to my brother that something about me looked familiar, Charles had to resort to drastic measures, cunningly diverting her attention by accidentally spilling a glass of port onto the chairman of the Cato Institute. Weve got to be more careful. Oh, thats my cue! the 73-year-old former Libertarian Party vice presidential candidate added, spritzing some peppermint breath spray into his mouth. Charles just said, repeal all campaign financing regulations, which means its time for me to step in and seal the deal with a kiss. Ive always been the one whos best at making the first move. According to individuals close to the perennial fixtures atop Forbes magazines list of the worlds richest people, the Koch brothers prank on Curran is not the first time they have conspired to deceive an unsuspecting mark. At an event last December held to support the anti-Obamacare foundation Americans For Prosperity, sources confirmed that the brothers successfully perpetrated a similar rusewith one always hiding and listening in from underneath the lavish banquet table, prepared to switch places at a moments noticein order to seduce South Carolina governor Nikki Haley. Additionally, the two narrowly pulled off an even more elaborate stunt at a $50,000-per-plate dinner to benefit the 2012 presidential run of Mitt Romney, reportedly utilizing a pair of wigs and elevated platform shoes to impersonate their absent brothers Frederick and Bill, thereby skirting federal limits on individual political contributions. However, at the Metropolitan Museum event, onlookers confirmed that the brothers reckless scheme often seemed precariously close to spinning out of control. You fool! If you dont get your act together, were at risk of capsizing the whole enterprise! Charles shouted at his brother after they absentmindedly ran headlong into one another in the buildings grand atrium. Now what areoh, wait, shes here, get down! Get down! At press time, Currans unexpected appearance had forced Charles to quickly shove his brother into a nearby fountain before escorting his increasingly skeptical date out of the room to meet Rupert Murdoch. 
1	Gathering for what members of the international science community are calling 'potentially the most totally out-to-lunch freaky head trip since Einstein postulated that space and time were, like, curved and shit,' a consortium of the world's top physicists descended upon Stanford University Monday to discuss some of the difficult questions facing the cutting edge of theoretical thinking. Cal Tech physicist Dr. Jonathan Friedrich postulates a bunch of freaky shit that makes his colleagues' heads spin right the hell off. Among the revolutionary ideas expected to be raised at the historic week-long summit is the possibility that, like, our whole friggin' universe might be just one big atom in, say, some super-duper huge thing out there somewhere, or something. 'Whoa, man,' Dr. Jacob 'The Boz' Bozeman of MIT told reporters. 'The implications of this deceptively simple hypothesis are, like, completely blowing my mind. Like, we could all be nothing more than this little dot in the fingernail of some huge-ass giant dude. Or maybe a seed in the mustard of, like, some really big sandwich, or even a germ on the back of a flea that's, like, sitting on a hair on some giant dog's ass. Truly, it boggles the freakin' mind, man. It freaks me the fuck right out.' The universe-as-possible-giant-atom theory originated in May with a team of Cal Tech particle physicists, who developed the theory late one night while sitting around on a couch in the Physics Department's cyclotron and foosball facility, 'just shooting the shit.' The theory, which was reportedly conceived after the group became highly engrossed in ceiling-tile patterns for several minutes while waiting for a pizza to arrive, is said to be so advanced that only a few scientists in the world even have their heads together enough to really, you know, deal. Yet even among this elite group, many are said to be 'seriously thrown for a loop' by its implications. 'I'm like, 'Whoa there, man, slow down,'' said Dr. Dieter Gerhardt, a low-temperature physicist at Cornell University. Pausing for a moment to collect himself, the renowned scientist then placed his hands on his forehead before extending them outward in a sweeping gesture and making a buzzing 'space-noise' sound effect with his lips, non-verbally indicating the degree to which his mind was blown by the whole freaky deal. Among other topics to be explored at the Stanford conference, according to Bozeman: the concept of parallel, or 'alternate,' Earths; the theory of multi-dimensional 'superstrings' that fold backward and forward throughout the fabric of the universe; and 'a whole bunch of other shit I totally can't even handle thinking about right now.' On Monday, the most high-profile conference attendee, Cambridge's Dr. Stephen Hawking, discussed his recent research exploring the possible existence of 'sideways,' or lateral, time, a concept most scientists in attendance described as 'way out there.' 'I don't want to fuck with anybody's head here,' Hawking told the assembled scientists via his voice-simulation device, 'but if time goes sideways as well as forward, there might be, like, other versions of this reality, where, say, the Roman Empire is still in charge and stuff.' 'By the way,' Hawking added, 'ever think about what'd happen if you, say, went back in time and accidentally killed your own younger self? Man, that shit would be so fucked up.' Hawking's ideas provoked strong reaction. 'I remember I was pretty wigged out when Feynman came up with that shit about antiparticles just being normal particles traveling backwards in time,' said Dr. Wei Lo-Huang of Princeton. 'That was heavy enough to have to deal with. But now Hawking comes up with this? What is with that?' 'Fuck, man... if this turns out to be true, it will require a total recalibration of all our methods for measuring space-time flux, and that means all my old equations are gonna be, like, for shit,' Wei said. 'Aw, man.' Though Hawking's lateral-time theory may prove significant, most scientists in attendance said they plan to avoid it for now, explaining that the 'whole one big atom deal' (or 'WOBAD' theory, as it has come to be known within physics circles) is more than enough to completely freak their shit, and that they would prefer to take these mind-blowing questions one at a time, just so they don't completely, you know, lose it. 'I totally can't get with where my head is at, if you dig what I'm saying,' said Dr. Sanjay Gupta, renowned for his work in advanced quantum hydroponics theory. 'It's like, one big atom? Forget about it, man. Even weirder is, like, if we're just one big atom in a larger universe, how do we know all the little atoms don't have, you know, little universes in them, with, like, little people living on them, with little cars and little houses, and maybe even itsy-bitsy tiny-ass international symposiums on cutting-edge theoretical physics, even.' 'That shit would be too much,' Gupta said. 'It'd be like that Dr. Seuss book Horton Hears A Who and shit. I read that when I was, like, six, and it totally weirded me out.' 'Say, can I get another handful of those chips, dude?' Gupta asked. 
3	False Flag Chemical Attack on SyriaStephen Lendman US intelligence actively promot(es) a false flag attack. Assads wrongfully blamed. Obamas heading closer to full-scale intervention. Britains David Cameron demonstrates a willingness to assist the US military and Intelligence agenda. UK controlled BBC obediently falls into line, assisting in disseminating (false) information. US media scoundrels are worst of all. More on that below. A previous article discussed hacked emails. They revealed Washingtons approved plan to stage a false flag Syrian chemical attack. Doing so crosses Obamas red line. Planned US intervention may follow. On May 1, US-enlisted death squads used chemical materials against Syrian civilians. They did so during a Idlib area attack. Those affected were taken cross border to Turkey. Its a thinly veiled scheme. Expect Assad to be falsely blamed. Victims are hospitalized in Reyhanli. Its in Hatay province on Syrias border. Blood samples were sent to Turkeys Forensic Medicine Institute. Union of Syrian Medical Relief Organization Dr. Ubada Alabrash said: When wounded people arrived at the Bab-al Hawa crossing they were suffering from suffocation, breathing difficulties, they were vomiting and large tears welled up from their eyes. These are symptoms of chemical gas. We cannot be certain, but we are waiting for blood test results from the Turkish government. Mounting fumes from gallons containing some liquid materials, which were stored by a shepherd in his house in Saraqeb town in Idlib countryside, have killed his guest and him as one of the children in the house opened one of the gallons, it added. An armed terrorist group gave a housewife and her children protective masks. They forced three kidnapped victims to inhale toxic fumes. They died after doing so. Their bodies were transferred to Turkey. Blood samples are being tested for toxic chemicals exposure. Earlier, Syrias Foreign Ministry said: Terrorist groups may resort to using chemical weapons against the Syrian people.after having gained control of a toxic chlorine factory near Aleppo. On May 1, Reyhanli Mayor Huseyin Sanverdi said: We are taking the necessary precautions as we have received unconfirmed information on the use of chemical weapons. So far I have not received confirmation from medical institutions but there is a possibility that the weapons were used and we have to act with caution in case. Thirteen Syrians were exposed. The Reyhanli hospital is sealed off. An unnamed employee said an emergency medical team is involved. We were given special apparel but it was the emergency team which took care of those patients. Doctors suspected sarin or mustard gas because the patients had breathing difficulties. Union of Syrian Medical Relief Organisations Dr. Wassim Taha said patients were washed at the border. Doctors feared toxic gas exposure. Dr. Alabrash said test results arent yet known. I dont think the Turkish government would hide the results from us, but I understand they must be careful with it because NATO and other international bodies are also involved in this issue, he added. Now we are waiting for the blood test results from Ankara. We have asked to be informed. We can only say after the test results if chemical weapons were used or not. He stopped short of saying who bears responsibility. Expect Washington, Britain and other US allies to blame Assad. Whether US-led NATO intervention follows remains to be seen. US media scoundrels support it. On April 23, The New York Times featured Senator Bob Corkers (R. TN) op-ed. He headlined Dithering While Damascus Burns, saying: America must get involved, he stressed. US leadership, including providing arms and training to moderate rebels, are likely to be the only things that can tip the balance, help end the bloodshed and halt brewing threats to us and our allies. (T)he time for leading from behind is over. The United States must also be more aggressive in stopping Iranian support for Mr. Assad. (E)nding the violence in Syria will require the United States to play an even greater role, and it will force both us and our partners to make difficult decisions. The consequences of our continued collective failure are unthinkable, and grow more serious every day. New York Times editors claim Assad distorts the conflict by accusing US-backed death squads of terrorism. Washington exploits the notion. Its war on terror does so on humanity. Dont expect Times editors to explain. Washington Post editors crossed the line. They urge US intervention. They want Syria bombed. They recommended doing so with missiles and stealth bombers. They urge circumventing the Security Council. Otherwise theyll be more crossings of (Obamas) red line and grave damage to US interests. Los Angeles Times editors headlined A red line on Syria. saying: If the Assad regime has indeed used chemical weapons, the US must honor its commitment to act.Obama must respond. Foreign Affairs contributor Josh Rogin headlined State Department: Syria must answer questions about secret nuclear program. No evidence suggests one. At issue was Israels September 2007 attack. Four Israeli aircraft lawlessly entered Syrian airspace. Secret unprovoked bombing followed. At the time, anonymous sources claimed Israel destroyed a partially constructed nuclear reactor. None existed. Whatever was attacked had nothing to do with nuclear reactor development. Israel committed premeditated aggression. It wasnt the first time. The State Department revived an old canard. Assistant Secretary of State for International and Non-Proliferation, Tom Countryman, said: With regard to Syria, it has been nearly two years since IAEA Director General Amano reported that the facility destroyed in 2007 at Deir Ez-Zour was very likely a nuclear reactor that should have been declared to the agency pursuant to Syrias safeguards agreement. To date, Syria has not taken any concrete steps to address the outstanding serious questions about its clandestine nuclear activities. Countryman lacks credibility. So does Amano. Hes a pro-Western stooge. Washington installed him to serve US interests. Take nothing he says at face value. He falsely accused Iran numerous times. Americas Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) features state-sponsored propaganda. On April 29, its nightly NewsHourprogram discussed Syria. What should America do, was asked? One-sided views followed. Alternative voices are suppressed. Its official PBS policy. The so-called UN Institute for Peace (USIP) is a pro-Western front group. Washington generously funds it. The Day After Project is one of its initiatives. Its a US-led effort for a post-Assad Syria. Its representative Murhaf Jouejati appeared on NewsHour. He claimed overwhelming evidence that this dictator (Assad) is out to kill as many Syrian opponents of his regime as possible. He mentioned alleged chemical weapons use as one example. I think the US should do more than it is doing, he urged. Syria Comment editor Joshua Landis said Syria exploded into civil war. Theres nothing civil about Syrias conflict. Western-recruited death squads invaded. Assads confronting them responsibly. Most Syrians support him. Landis didnt explain. Jouejati called whats ongoing a national uprising. Until Washington sent in its dogs, Syria was peaceful. Obama bears full responsibility. NewsHour guests didnt explain. They never discuss what viewers most need to know. Obamas already waging multiple direct and proxy wars. Hes incrementally heading toward another. Syrian intervention appears likely. Libya 2.0 could happen anytime. Advancing Americas imperium alone matters. Rogue governments operate that way. Americas by far the worst.

1	LOUISVILLE, KYSadly, in 1998, America remains a nation deeply divided along racial lines. It's enough to cause one to lose hope. But divided as we are, every now and again something comes along to remind us just how much can be achieved when we view our differences as assets rather than liabilities. Brian Schickle and Malik Turner are among the many employees at a Louisville McDonald's who have learned to look beyond the color of their skin to achieve a common goal: cooking hot, delicious burgers for their valued customers. The afternoon crew at Louisville's Carver Street McDonald's is just such a beacon of hope. In a powerful and touching example of what can happen when people join together without concern for race, this McDonald's multiethnic, seven-person crew has been working in harmony for months now, blind to differences in skin color, united by the common goal of creating a better burger. 'Like our nation itself, this restaurant's crew is made up of a diverse pastiche of backgrounds,' day-shift manager Ray Garner said. 'But while, all too often in America, people tend to 'stick to their own kind,' fearful of those who are different, around here blacks and whites work side by side, committed to cooking up the freshest, tastiest Big Macs and double cheeseburgers possible for our valued customers.' According to Garner, in many fast-food restaurants across the U.S., black employees tend to cluster in the grill area, while whites like to position themselves at the preparation table. Typically, the result of such voluntary racial segregation, Garner said, is a hamburger that is not as good as it could have been. 'This sort of lack of communication between the grill and prep stations can result in the cooking of too many beef patties, which in turn can lead to the serving of burgers with insufficiently fresh patties. In short, the racial tensions that have simmered in the U.S. for centuries are still keeping many fast-food establishments from cooking up the best possible food for their customers. And that is just sad.' Each day, before the start of the afternoon shift, Garner gives his crew a pep talk to remind them what it is they are fighting against. 'I tell them, 'It's not about black or white, or my color versus your color. We're here with one purpose, and that is to serve our customers the freshest, highest quality burgers possible. Around here, the only color that matters is the deep-brown hue of a well-cooked Quarter Pounder.' 'When I first started working here, I would occasionally allow my anger over American society's oppression of blacks to keep me from interacting positively with white co-workers,' said lead grill cook Malik Turner, 19, one of four blacks on the seven-person crew. 'But I soon realized that such resentment was not just hurting me, but also the customer. And that's a tragedy.' Prep cook Brian Schickle, a 20-year-old white, agreed. 'When I look at Malik, I see not someone whose skin color is different from mine, but rather a fellow human being with whom I share the planet, a human being who needs to know how we're doing on patties if our customers are to leave as satisfied as possible with their McDonald's dining experience.' Apparently, the crew's color-blindness is paying off, as the restaurant's burgers are earning accolades from diners of all races. 'I don't believe I've ever been served so delicious and fresh-tasting a hamburger in my life,' said Louisville-area bank teller Morton Wallensky, who visited the restaurant Monday on his lunch hour. 'This is the taste of love and cooperation among all God's children, and I wish that the people of all nations could take a big bite for themselves.' 'I'd like to think that what's happening here is taking root with our customers and changing their lives for the better,' Garner said. 'And when I read the comment cards in the suggestion box, I can't help but think that it is.' 
1	Noting that the 22-year-old was a wonderful young man who will be immensely missed by all who knew him, the Houston Texans announced Thursday that linebacker Jadeveon Clowney tragically succumbed to his battle with a right-ankle sprain. All of us in the Houston Texans organization are incredibly saddened to confirm that, unfortunately, Jadeveon didnt make it, head coach Bill OBrien said during an emotional press conference, adding that while Clowney fought bravely to the very end, he passed away due to complications with the injury late Wednesday night. The doctors did everything they could, but it was a high-degree ankle sprain, and his condition deteriorated quickly. All we can do now is keep Jadeveons family in our thoughts and prayers, and extend our deepest condolences. OBrien added that the Texans will wear special JC helmet stickers for the rest of the season to honor Clowney. 
2	ISIS Releases Shocking Footage Of Them Training Kids To Become Terrorists [VIDEO] Outrage has broken out on social media following the release of a photograph of an infant next to a hand gun and a grenade, draped in the symbol for ISIS. This is just one of several photos that have to come to light recently, highlighting what appears to be a current trend. The image was posted by an anti-ISIS activist in Syria with the caption: What will happen with this child? Experts believe that the baby is just one of many being forced to pose with weapons by their jihadi parents. The original picture was uploaded by Abu Ward Al-Raqqawi, who deems himself the founder of the Syrian revolution. The post also claims that the birth certificate next to the child in the picture is an ISIS issued ID for a child. The pictures are daunting for many reasons, but primarily because the writing is on the wall for a future of generation indoctrinated into Islamic extremism. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous? 
2	Trey Gowdy Goes After AG Lynch, Completely Destroys Her... Speechless [VIDEO] According to reports, while testifying before the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Trey Gowdy took on Attorney General Loretta Lynchs defense to not pursue criminal charges against Hillary, despite her careless mishandling of this nations classified information. Theres involuntary manslaughter, Gowdy commented. Theres reckless homicide. Theres felony DUI, where you really didnt mean to hurt anybody. You really didnt, but you did. This lack of specific intent is not a defense in any of those cases, Gowdy argued. So I think the public would like to know how you determine she did not have intent to break the way and why you are applying a specific intent requirement here when you dont even do it in certain homicide cases? Lynch was quick to respond, but Americans arent exactly in her corner at this point. The reason why I am not going into the discussion I had in providing that level of information, although the FBI director did choose to do so, is that the information the team provides to me on this or any other case has to be given in a zone of confidentiality so that they can be clear and sure that there is never a political overtone to decisions, nor will I apply one in accepting their decisions, Lynch responded. What do you think? Was this a total miscarriage of justice? 
2	7th Grader Told She Had To Deny Gods Existence Otherwise THIS Would Happen To Her [VIDEO] According to recent reports, Jordan Wooley, a seventh grader at West Memorial Junior High School came forward to testify at a school board meeting about her teacher pushing atheism on her students. Today I was given an assignment in school that questioned my faith and told me that God was not real, Wooley began. Our teacher had started off saying that the assignment had been giving problems all day, she continued. We were asked to take a poll to say whether God is fact, opinion or a myth and she told anyone who said fact or opinion was wrong and God was only a myth. This is not a unique case, unfortunately. Students all throughout America are being pressured to abandon their faith as soon as they step on school campus. What do you think? Is this absolutely despicable? Is there an attack on Christians in this country?

1	At his usual press conference Monday, Browns coach Romeo Crennel expressed disappointment in his offense's poor effort and inability to capitalize on a strong defensive game against the Colts as well as Nestle's decision to no longer package its signature Nestle Crunch bar in aluminum foil. 'I have two priorities this week: getting Ken [Dorsey] comfortable and in control on the field, and finding a candy bar that doesn't create a distracting mess in your pocket because of its inferior wrapping,' said Crennel, adding that the Crunch bar's foil used to make him feel as if he were eating the chocolate bar from Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory. 'Dorsey's an outstanding player and we have to support him with quality play. And the Crunch is an outstanding and delicious treat, but it isn't supported by that cheap plastic wrapper. Krackels are goodI gave them out for Halloween this yearbut I like Nestle chocolate better.' Krennel explained it also is important for backup quarterback Brady Quinn to ice up his broken finger because he 'likes it when the candy bars are cold.' 
3	Large Holes Forming Near The New Madrid Fault And A Giant Crack In The Earth In North MexicoMichael Snyder We live at a time when earthquakes are increasing in frequency and severity. And we are starting to see some very unusual activity in places that have been quiet for a very long time. For example, large holes are starting to mysteriously appear in Indiana near the New Madrid fault zone. And a giant crack in the ground nearly a kilometer long has appeared in northern Mexico. Could these be indications that even greater earthquake activity is on the way? Most Americans dont realize that the greatest earthquakes in U.S. history happened along the New Madrid fault zone. Back during the early part of the 19th century, a series of immensely powerful earthquakes rattled the entire eastern half of the nation. Documents that we have from that era say that those earthquakes were so powerful that they were felt more than 1,000 miles away. And there are many that believe that if we had a similar earthquake today that the damage caused would almost be incalculable. That is why what has been happening in Indiana is so alarming. According to reports, half a dozen mystery holes have been discovered on Mount Baldy You can view a video news report about these mysterious holes right here So what should we think about all of this? Well it could be something or it could be nothing. But any weird activity near the New Madrid fault always gets my attention. This fault is so dangerous that it could literally change the shape of the country overnight. For much more on how dangerous the New Madrid fault is, just check outthis video. Most Americans never even give the New Madrid fault a second thought, but the federal government considered it important enough to hold a major five day simulation known as National Level Exercise 11 just a few years ago And officials at the U.S. Geological Survey recently released a report that stated that the New Madrid fault zone has the potential for larger and more powerful quakes than previously thought. That certainly sounds quite chilling. In addition, retail powerhouse Wal-Mart is so concerned about the potential for a major quake that it participated in an exercise to prepare for an earthquake on the New Madrid fault line earlier this year You can read much more about all of this in my previous article entitled Why Is Wal-Mart Preparing For A Major Earthquake On The New Madrid Fault? But the New Madrid fault zone is certainly not the only area to be keeping an eye on. Down in north Mexico, a giant crack in the ground about a kilometer long has recently appeared. It is estimated to be approximately 16 feet across and 8 feet deep. You can view some stunning aerial footage of this giant crack in the Earthright here Some believe that an earthquake along the San Andreas Fault may be to blame for this giant fissure. Others believe that it is being caused by an underground stream. While footage of giant cracks in the Earth such as you have just seen can be quite spectacular, what is far more alarming to me personally are the cold, hard earthquake numbers. For example, as I mentioned above, the number of big earthquakes that we have seen this year has been far higher than usual. The following is from a recentCBS News report And this is not something that has just started happening. As that same article explained, this is all part of a much longer trend In particular, things really seem to be heating up in the middle portion of the United States. As I mentioned at the start of this article, the frequency of earthquakes in the central and eastern parts of the nationhas quintupled over the past 30 years What we are watching happen is truly unprecedented. Oklahoma alone has experienced more than 2,300 earthquakes so far this year. Scientists dont really know what to make of this alarming increase in seismic activity. Could all of this be leading up to something really big? And what will things look like if we do get hit by a magnitude 8 or a magnitude 9 earthquake in a very heavily populated area? Please feel free to share what you think by posting a comment below This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

3	Bilderberg Group Member Rumored to be Selected by President Obama as the Next Secretary of StateAndrew Puhanic, Contributor It has been rumored that John Kerry, a Bilderberger and United States Senator from Massachusetts, will become Americas next Secretary of State. This news comes as no surprise considering that the Bilderberg Group has a proven history of successfully influencing governments to appoint its members to influential positions within various Government departments and agencies. Most recently Mark Carney (newly appointed governor of the Bank of England) and Mario Monti(Prime Minister of Italy), members of the Bilderberg Group, were appointed to positions within government that ultimately have given the Bilderberg Group considerable political influence. The most recent Bilderberg Group meeting that Senator John Kerry attended was the2012 Bilderberg Group meeting (Chantilly, Virginia, USA) At the 2012 Bilderberg Group meeting, Senator Kerry mingled in secret with the likes of Eric Schmidt (Executive Chairman, Google), Robert Zoellick (President, The World Bank Group), Jorma Ollila (Chairman, Royal Dutch Shell) and Globalist Henry Kissinger (Chairman, Kissinger Associates). In fact, no record exists of what promises and outcomes resulted from the discussions. However, even more disturbing than the notion that politicians and the global elite are meeting in secret is the fact that most of Europes powerful elite now have access to influence one of Americas most powerful positions. Peter Sutherland, the chairman of Goldman Sachs International, is one of the Bilderberg Groups most influential members. Presently, Goldman Sachs and the Bilderberg Group have representatives in the upper echelons of Government in Italy, Ireland, France, Greece, Germany and Belgium. Undoubtedly, the secretive relationship between the Bilderberg Group and governments around the world has led to compromises and corruption that affect the citizens who governments are supposed to represent. This is especially true when both parties are sleeping with each other. If Senator Kerry is appointed as Americas next Secretary of State, serious questions need to be asked about how the Senators ability to represent America without influence and prejudice from the Bilderberg Group wont be compromised.

2	Muslim Terrorist Arrested After Threatening FOX In The Worst Way Possible Recently, a radical Islamic Imam from the UK clashed publically with Sean Hannity on his show. He threatened that Hannity would soon see Sharia Law imposed upon America and other western countries. And the threat has lingered. Choudary also commented that women and gays would be punished. He defended the use of terrorisms, claiming that it was akin to the terror on Muslims by the American military. He has continued to make these statements assuming that he was protected under British Law. His comments included making fun of the 9/11 attacks, and tongue-in-cheek comments on the London bus bombings. Now, BBC is reporting that Choudary has been arrested in an anti-terrorism sweep through London. He was one of nine men arrested, all of whom are suspected of being involved with a banned Islamic organization. Choudary is the form head of the Islamist group al-Muhajiroun, a group that was banned just four year ago. It appears that he has simply changed the name of the group to Islam4UK, but has not ceased his radical preaching and calls for violence. He is also believed to have connections to the men behind the masks who beheaded British soldier Lee Rigby. Londons police force made the arrests in addition to a search of several homes and businesses. The men are reportedly being held on suspicion of being members of a proscribed organization, supporting a proscribed organization contrary to Section 11 and 122 of the Terrorism Act 2000, and encouraging terrorism, contrary to Section 1 of the Terrorism Act 2006. What do you think of Choudarys arrest? Did he get what he deserved?

3	PSA Contains Bizarre Subliminal Message About Martial Law and OutbreakBy Paul Joseph Watson 
1	Another chapter was added to the infamous history of the U.S. News & World Report Mansion Saturday, when celebrity politico Henry Kissinger, former Secretary of State and longtime fixture at the journalism and pleasure palace, was forcibly removed from the premises after removing his pants and drunkenly plummeting from a second-story balcony into a pool. Kissinger socializes with a trio of <i>U.S. News & World Report</i> Copy Girls hours before the outburst. 'Hank is a longtime friend of the mansion, and the events of last weekend won't change that,' said U.S. News & World Report editor-in-chief Mort Zuckerman, speaking to reporters in the mansion's jungle-themed Southeast Asian Correspondent Room. 'He just had a few too many Harvey Wallbangers, and we had to send him home. Nobody knows how to go off the deep end like the Kiss-Man.' Sporting his trademark purple velvet smoking jacket and pipe, the smiling Zuckerman stressed that there were 'no hard feelings' about the incident and joked that Kissinger was welcome back to his regular guest room at the mansion anytime, 'as long as the old boy can keep it in his pants next time.' The U.S. News & World Report Mansion has long been notorious for its wild parties. However, Saturday's gathering exceeded even its usual standards for debauchery. Former Clinton aide George Stephanopoulos was spotted poolside debating Social Security restructuring with leggy Fact-Checker Of The Month Caryn Alderson. Nearby, leather-clad Senate Republican Policy Committee chair Larry Craig (R-ID) stood atop the pool bar, challenging all comers to 'try and beat me in arm-wrestling.' An all-nude romp in the mansion's legendary Domestic Affairs Grotto included such journalistic luminaries as CBS anchor Dan Rather, Weekly Standard publisher William Kristol, and sultry, neoconservative MSNBC political analyst Laura Ingraham. The fabled mansion. 'It was like the fall of Rome,' said historian and presidential biographer David Halberstam, who attended the party on the arm of former Clinton press secretary DeeDee Myers. 'At one point, while everybody was circling the solid gold Party Globe in the Grand Newsroom in a conga line, poor Kissinger wiped out on a huge pile of AP-wire printouts that had collected in the sunken-fireplace pit by the gold statue of [U.S. News & World Report founder] David Lawrence. We thought he'd broken his neck, but in a flash, he was back on his feet and calling for 'more wine, more wine' in his unmistakable, German-accented, basso profundo voice. Then he shouted that he was 'more bombed than Cambodia in '73.'' A short time later, a group of U.S. News & World Report Copy Girls, renowned for keeping the magazine free of errors and for their trademark skimpy outfits, formed a kickline as former CIA director John Deutch treated the crowd to an improvisational blues jam honoring the evening's guest of honor, former president George Bush. The jam was cut short when a pantsless Kissinger burst through the kickline in full stride, diving through a large balcony window into a pool two stories below. A passed-out Kissinger is sprawled across a mansion bathroom floor after vomiting. He would later awaken to stir more trouble. Bush, who at one point disappeared for a half-hour into the mansion's Velvet Typesetting Room with wife Barbara and CNN Crossfire co-host Mary Matalin, defended Kissinger's behavior. 'Kissingerdisco king, no doubt, no doubt. Did he do anything the rest of us wouldn't? I'd say not. Good man, the Kisserknows how to get down,' Bush told reporters from his guest room at the mansion, where he is recuperating from a 'heckuva hangover.' 'Loves the wine? Sure, sure. Women? Song? No question there. But a good egg, and I'll stand by him.' Zuckerman defended his mansion and its parties, which have come under renewed fire in the wake of the latest incident. 'Some people may say that U.S. News & World Report's commitment to incisive, cutting-edge news reportage, and all the fun that entails, is excessive or immoral,' the 72-year-old Zuckerman said. 'In fact, Calvin Trillin wrote a very critical piece in last week's Time about usprobably because he was mad he wasn't invitedbut such condemnations of the newsgathering lifestyle are both hypocritical and unenlightened. There's no reason reporting the news can't retain the fantasy element it had when we were in our teens and 20s. News should be informative, but also sexy and fun. That's always been my magazine's approach, and it's the only way to get unbiased, comprehensive coverage while remaining young at heart.' 'Of course, a solid supply of Viagra and dating the Weinbaum triplets doesn't hurt,' added Zuckerman, referring to Mindy, Cindy, and Windy Weinbaum, the three 22-year-old interns he has been dating since divorcing 1991 Copy Girl Of The Year Bobbi Brandt in April. 'And now, if you'll excuse me, there's an 'event' that needs 'covering' in the Business & Technology Bungalow.' 
3	US Agents of Subversion Deride Russian NGO BillTony Cartalucci, Contributor Image: From the US State Departments own National Endowment for Democracy (NED) website, the Moscow Helsinki Group (listed as the Moscow Group of Assistance in the Implementation of the Helsinki Accords) is clearly listed as a recipient of US funding. MHGs leadership believes disclosing this information more publicly and being listed as an NGO carrying out functions as a foreign agent is despicable. One could easy argue that foisting upon unsuspecting Russians a foreign agenda couched as legitimate activism is equally despicable. The LA Times in fact, illustrates in their own article just how absolutely necessary this new legislation is. After claiming the bills passed by Russias State Duma are seen as the latest attempt to crack down on resistance to the rule of President Vladimir Putin, the Times goes on to cite the Moscow Helsinki Group (MHG) and their objection to the bill, never mentioning that it is in fact a direct recipient of US State Department money via the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and instead, merely states it receives grants from aborad. In turn, the NED fails to properly inform the public of the corporate-financier interests, not human rights or democratic interests, represented throughout its Board of Directors. Image: A visual representation of the National Endowment for Democracys corporate-financier ties found across their Board of Directors. Far from human rights advocates, they are instead simply leveraging such issues to disguise what is in reality corporate-financier global hegemonic expansion. Such deception and purposefully vague misrepresentations have allowed NED and the myriad of so-called NGOs that it cultivates not only to subvert Russia, but nations around the world, to deceive well-intentioned people into joining their cause, serving their nefarious, couched interests. Should people know that Russian President Vladimir Putins opposition consists of organizations entirely funded, directed, and engaged in frequent trips to meet with the US State Department, they may form an opinion that leaves anti-Putin rallies decidedly thinner and the Wests agenda of achieving global hegemony slightly more tenuous. Image: Lyudmila Alekseyeva of the US State Department, Soros Open Society, USAID, NED-funded Moscow Helsinki Group claims, this law has a despicable goal, which is to make it possible to say on television, Look, they are admitting themselves that they are agents of foreign governments,' leaving one to wonder, what should a foreign agent be called, if not a foreign agent? For NGOs allegedly championing freedom, democracy, and, above all transparency to deride the new legislation as despicable, as MHGs Lyudmila Alekseyeva did, for holding foreign-funded NGOs to the same standards they demand of the Russian government, exposes a degree of corrosive double standards. Such irrational and hypocritical reactions undermine not only US-funded fronts like the Moscow Helsinki Group, but legitimate NGOs as well that are genuinely working towards these ideals, but doing so independently and for Russias, not foreigners interests. Alekseyevas Moscow Helsinki Group is not alone. It was widely reported throughout Russias elections that independent poll monitor GOLOS was singled out and punished by the Russian government after attempting to call into question the legitimacy of Putin and his partys victory. GOLOS, however, is not independent by any means, and is likewise fully funded and directed by the US State Department with GOLOS Lililya Shibanova one of several opposition leaders caught filing into the US Embassy in Moscow earlier this year. Strategy 31, Alexey Navalny, Vladimir Ryzhkov, Boris Nemtsov, and Ilya Yashin are all likewise subsidized, supported by, and/or members of the Wall Street-London corporate-financier elite striving to undermine, overthrow, and reorder Russia according to their sponsors designs designs that were already previewed during the reign of the oligarchs in the 1990s. Setting a Precedent to Follow What Russia has done is take advantage of an increasingly astute public capable of understanding that moves against US State Department funded fronts is not necessarily a move against legitimate activism especially if Russia takes strides to create and expand its own indigenous institutions to maintain an equitable balance of power throughout society. The US State Departments tentacles reach far beyond Moscow. Egypt has likewise grappled with this unwarranted foreign influence, and likewise took measures against foreign-funded US-backed sedition masquerading as NGOs. In Malaysia there is Bersih, in Thailand there is Prachatai, and in Myanmar (still called by its British colonial nomenclature Burma) there is Aung San Suu Kyi and her entire political party, a top-to-bottom creation of Wall Street and London corporate-funded foundations and government funding. Photo: Hague hands Suu Kyi the Chatham House Prize. Nothing quite says democracy promotion like a prize from an organization consisting of Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, BP, Exxon, Chevron, BAE, Boeing, Lockheed, and many more. This is just the latest in a long line of self-aggrandizing stunts the global elite use to lend themselves otherwise non-existent legitimacy and lure in well-intentioned people to serve their cause. Educating the public and mandating that NGOs exhibit the same transparency and openness they demand of governments is an essential first step. Instituting severe penalties against NGOs that willfully deceive, obfuscate their funding or agenda, or misrepresent themselves to the people they are attempting to influence including charges ranging from fraud to sedition must also be considered. Local activists overlooked in the shadow of these disingenuous, meddling foreign-funded NGOs must also seek ways of not only maintaining their independence, but exposing the compromised and subversive nature of foreign-funded organizations. The lure of large sums of endless cash, contrived accolades, and a chance to rub shoulders with celebrities and other important people has been used effectively to compromise and co-opt otherwise well-meaning people and redirect their efforts from truly progressive efforts to faux-progressive foreign agendas. The precedent Russia is setting should be embraced by real activists who do truly seek to live by the openness and transparency they claim they stand for it is abundantly clear that those with something to hide, namely those with insidious foreign-backing, have already denounced it. The fact that Russia can not only move forward with this legislation aimed toward transparency amongst foreign-funded NGOs, but that the corporate-financiers media machine rings hollow in its protests, is already proof that the paradigm is shifting and that the public is slowly gaining an understanding of how power manipulates and deceives, and above all how power is powerless without us. 
2	Youll Never Believe How Much Money Michael Browns Family Is Making Off Of His Funeral After such a widely discussed death, it is no surprise that the funeral of Michael Brown turned into a spectacle. It appears that rather than taking the ceremony to celebrate the boys life, the funeral was used as yet another opportunity to talk about race. Outside of the funeral, t-shirts were being sold to commemorate the occasion, almost as if it were a concert and not a funeral. Then we going to hit the streets again and were going to yell out for our freedom and equality and were going to yell out in Mikes name and its going to shake the heavens, Browns cousin passionately told the sale. What do you think? Is it wrong for the family of Mike Brown to attempt to profit off their loss? 
3	U.S. Takes A Stab At A No Fly Zone In Two Places - Syria And Standing RockBy Brandon Turbeville So as the war drums beat louder and as America ekes closer toward the impending Clinton coronation and the possibility of the declaration of yet another no fly zone, this time over Syria, becomes more and more likely, it is poetic justice that a no-fly zone is being declared inside the United States. While Russia stands in the way of Americas march to create Libya 2.0 in Syria, there is no one willing and virtually no one able to stand in the way of Americas declaration of war on itself, personified by the vicious police state brutality being visited upon the protestors at Standing Rock indigenous and otherwise and the crackdown on virtually every amendment to the Constitution including the arrest of demonstrators and journalists, some of whom are facing incredibly ridiculous amounts of time in jail. Indeed, the United States has even declared a no-fly zone over the protest area, preventing media coverage of the ensuing bravery of the protesters and brutality of the Serve and Protect crew who are willing to bash every skull and crush every human right in the quest to just do their jobs. One need only take a look at the photos of the protesters vs the heavily armed and militarized police (can we still call them police?) forces amassed around the location to see the crumbling of America into the police state foreseen for Western countries as the rug gets pulled out from under them economically, socially, and culturally despite their use as tools of imperialism abroad. The blunt hammer of Anglo-American hegemony that is the United States is falling apart even as it continues to strike at Syria, Iran, and Russia. While police can murder with impunity and Black Lives Matter activists can destroy cities at will, Standing Rock protesters are charged with high crimes for spray painting bulldozers; and journalists who dare to even cover the protests are arrested and charged with trespassing, inciting riots, and conspiracy. Even left gatekeepers like Amy Goodman have been charged with such crimes. But, while Goodmans charges were eventually dropped, other journalists such as Deia Schlosberg face 45 years in prison simply for filming a protest that involved the disruption of the pipelines operations. In regards to the current events taking place at Standing Rock, Jay Syrmopoulos writes, 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. So there is an official no fly zone over the Standing Rock protest (which can be seen here at the FAA website) and, on the ground, we have an army of storm troopers no doubt eager to bust heads and fire off some rounds into a group of people who only want clean water, property rights, and the honoring of the legal agreements they signed. Across the ocean, however, we await another no fly zone with the creeping Clinton coronation and possibly even a last stab by the Obama administration once the fix for Hitlery is officially in. In the last of three Presidential (in name only) debates, Clinton stated clearly her support for war in Syria by virtue of establishing a no fly zone. She stated, Im going to continue to push for a no-fly zone and safe havens within Syria not only to help protect the Syrians and prevent the constant outflow of refugees but to, frankly, gain some leverage on both the Syrian government and the Russians so that perhaps we can have the kind of serious negotiation necessary to bring the conflict to an end and go forward on a political track. Of course, the establishment of a No-Fly Zone is tantamount to a declaration of war. Such has even been admitted by top U.S. generals when explaining exactly what a No Fly Zone would entail. As General Carter Ham stated, We should make no bones about it. It first entails killing a lot of people and destroying the Syrian air defenses and those people who are manning those systems. And then it entails destroying the Syrian air force, preferably on the ground, in the air if necessary. This is a violent combat action that results in lots of casualties and increased risk to our own personnel. General Philip Breedlove also echoed this description when he said, I know it sounds stark, but what I always tell people when they talk to me about a no-fly zone is . . . its basically to start a war with that country because you are going to have to go in and kinetically take out their air defense capability When Senator Roger Wicker asked Gen. Joe Dunford what it would take to impose a no fly zone upon Syria, the General responded, Right now for us to control all of the airspace in Syria would require us to go to war against Syria and Russia. Thus, the entire Western sphere of influence is slowly descending down to become a place of no fly zones, riot police, and a boot slowly stamping on the human face. At home, those individuals who resist the new normal will be steadily dealt with either by economic hardship or a rude reminder that dissenters will be silence, imprisoned, or killed. Elsewhere, however, the Anglo-American system has begun to encounter nations who are not only willing to fight back but who are able to do so. A dying empire caught in its death throes, trying to remain alive by creating the absence of dissent might well launch a third world war with a nuclear power as a last stab at hegemony. On the other hand, Rome could just burn slowly. Rest assured, however, the skies above the city will be empty.

Image Credit The United States has now committed an act of war against its own people. This is TREASON of the highest order. The fact that it is aimed at the original people of this land makes this a spiritual war against the land itself and all the raping and pillaging that follows. The only true American is an emigrated white European. Any others are either Native American or Black American or coloured American. American history only starts 1776 or there abouts so indigenous people mean nothing to a True American. You arent a True American, youre a disgrace. If anyone reading this falls outside this persons True American label, and its ONLY a label not a reality, please know that not all Americans are this callous and ignorant. You are correct I am not an American but the perception from the outside is correct, not from the words that are said but from the actions inside your country. There is no such thing as a True American in the way you have used the term, it has no basis in fact. Since you are not American, you really have no idea what youre talking about. All you know is what you read in the media and about 95% of it is false, that includes the alternative media. Also, the American government does not reflect the will of the majority of people, it has gone rogue. So true, but the corporation has no people. It has been acting unlawfully in perpetuity and though the US is a fiction, the people perpetrating the crimes are culpable. Ive been saying for years that anyone wronged by any statist (government employee) should file Color of Law (18 USC 242/ claims against them personally. We all have been lied to and the nature of government is to control behaviour, which in and of itself is a violation of your birthright. Just do no harm. As for no-fly zones, it occurs in the US all the time since 9/11. Any time I want to fly cross-country I must check the NOTAMS (Notice to Airmen) to ensure that Barry Sotero or Biden isnt visiting my destination or a location enroute that would cause a deviation. As to Killerys suggested no-fly in Syria, Russia beat em to it by installing their S-3 and S-400s. No one flies in the airspace without their knowledge and blessing. One would expect that the continued genocide via US airstrikes would subside. It will cease if they attempt to keep Russian aircraft from doing their work. Should be interesting. Federally owned land but isnt that a huge question at the moment because the Sioux claim ownership or are you saying that treaty rights are completely moribund and have no meaning? Entire Western sphere of influence? It seems to me you are equating the US with the entire Western World. you wont find such dysfunction and dystopian circumstances in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Canada, Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Austria or other nations that have never had an empire. Yes, nations such as the US, UK, France and maybe even Spain, although that is not yet apparent, may be heading into the night, they certainly do not represent the entire Western World! What idiot from the land of idiocracy designed this pipeline to go directly through a reservation. More dumb assery from the beast. To my mind, federal lands means great swaths of land that the oligarchs wished to keep for themselves for future use in their re-wilding (agenda 21) of not only America, but the rest of the world as well. Federal lands means it isnt private land and private property is the key to freedom. 
3	US Seeks Occupation as US Fighters Flood SyriaBy Tony Cartalucci The paper would lay out in no uncertain terms that (emphasis added): 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 the presence of special forces as well. The approach would benefit from Syrias open desert terrain which could allow creation of buffer zones that could be monitored for possible signs of enemy attack through a combination of technologies, patrols, and other methods that outside special forces could help Syrian local fighters set up. Were Assad foolish enough to challenge these zones, even if he somehow forced the withdrawal of the outside special forces, he would be likely to lose his air power in ensuing retaliatory strikes by outside forces, depriving his military of one of its few advantages over ISIL. Thus, he would be unlikely to do this. Not only does Brookings lay out an open conspiracy to invade and occupy Syria, it does so with the open admission that the goal is not to degrade the fighting capacity of the so-called Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL), but rather to undermine and eventually overthrow the Syrian government. In fact, Brookings makes a point of stating that the goal would be to seize and hold Syrian territory to further advance American ambitions toward regime change, and would move quickly to degrade the Syrian governments ability to resist ISIS if any attempts were made by Damascus to stop the US invasion. News reports have trickled out regarding US and British fighters operating in Syria. Their backgrounds, affiliations, logistical support, and transportation to the battlefield have been intentionally left ambiguous by the Western media. Occasionally, open admissions are made that US and British special forces are operating in Syria, with one recent report indicating British Special Air Service (SAS) operators were in Syria dressed as ISIS fighters. The UK Express reported in their article, SAS dress as ISIS fighters in undercover war on jihadis, that: The unorthodox tactic, which is seeing SAS units dressed in black and flying ISIS flags, has been likened to the methods used by the Long Range Desert Group against Rommels forces during the Second World War. More than 120 members belonging to the elite regiment are currently in the war-torn country on operation Shader, tasked with destroying IS equipment and munitions which insurgents constantly move to avoid Coalition air strikes. Of course, this alleged and very risky military operation to destroy IS equipment and munitions in Syria begs belief as all of ISIS equip first enters Syria at the very Turkish-Syrian border the SAS likely staged to begin their operation. Strategically and tactically, interdicting ISIS supplies before they reach Syria would effectively cripple ISIS fighting capacity in the matter of weeks. It is clear that the SAS and other Western special forces are not in Syria to fight ISIS, but as Brookings itself admits, to take and hold Syrian territory from which terrorist groups, including ISIS can more safely wage war against Damascus. As the number of US and British forces on the ground in Syria grow, a variety of cover stories have been invented. The latest has been posited by Foreign Policy magazine. In their report titled, Meet the Americans Flocking to Iraq and Syria to Fight the Islamic State, they claim: the number of Americans traveling abroad to fight the Islamic State is picking up, with 44 percent of all fighters identified in the report arriving between May and mid-August of 2015. Whether you think of them as brave patriots stepping up to oppose a pressing threat or meddlesome war tourists taking foolish risks, one thing seems certain: More Americans will be arriving in Iraq and Syria to take up the fight against the Islamic State in the near future. The anecdotes used to qualify Foreign Policys claims that these fighters are volunteers and not special forces or paid mercenaries are the clearest indication that the article, and many like it, are a cover story. Ironically, it would be one of Cass Sunsteins independent credible voices, Eliot Higgins who regularly claims Russian volunteers in Ukraine are in fact sanctioned by Moscow who would publish a report supporting Foreign Policys volunteer premise. In reality, Foreign Policy is covering up the immediate implementation of admitted and documented US foreign policy to invade and occupy Syrian territory using special forces. A growing number of US and British special forces in Syria to take and hold territory will be impossible to cover up perpetually, so alternative narratives explaining the large and growing numbers of Western fighters in Syria has been fabricated. And while the prospect of volunteers traveling to Syria is not entirely fantastical, the transportation, funding, arming, and both tactical and political support of these fighters requires state resources. The fact that American citizens are forbidden by law to partake in foreign conflicts in this manner, yet are able to freely enter Turkey, then cross at Turkish-controlled checkpoints to fight in Syria like the flow of weapons, supplies, and fighters to bolster ISIS at these same checkpoints suggests stated US foreign policy to both use armed terrorist groups to overthrow the Syrian government by proxy, and now the use of US and British military forces to do so directly, is being executed before the eyes of the world.

Here is what I think now. Syria is a pipeline route for the oil and gas from the Favoured kingdoms. This is a direct threat to Russian oil and gas interests, as they are the only one with pipelines selling oil to Europe. They do not want competition. Iran, will get swept up with whatever happens next in the Middle East. Sanctions, isolation, maybe Obama promised them pipeline access as compensation in whatever deal they made. NK, is a joke. Only one worried is South Korea. Cuba and Brazil and Russia I think! This new offensive can trigger WWIII, the West, against Russia in Syria supporting Assad. The monetary financial system in disintegration drives this insanity. The City of London centered Financier Supremos think a war will cover up the mess they made; and there is fortune, in land, resources and governments they dont have to pay for. The US under submission to Globalization provides the pretext driven narrative, justification to the American people. It is the historical operation of the Imperial warfare offensive central banker model. I thank Russia for helping us out, however, I very much doubt they will stick around if push came to shove. They wont go to war with the USA, especially over Syria. We are talking Super Powers here. Russias presence may be a good thing if it stabilizes Syria, preventing another Libya disaster. However, the crisis can easily devolve into a case of the several powers that include NATO, the UK and France, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, in the operation of supposedly wiping up al Nusra, al Qaeda, and ISIS terrorist armies, all after their separate interests, goals and agendas, actually going at it with Russia in mistaken shootings incidents, etc. The American people have to send the message to Congress and the President, loud and clear, that war is to be avoided and that Imperial Regime Change, the bane of humanity, must be shut down now. 
2	BREAKING: 292 Killed In Devastating ISIS Attack... Please Send Prayers Just last weekend, ISIS launched yet another devastating attackthis time in Baghdad. A truck full of explosives was detonated in a commercial area. Days later, the death toll from this tragedy has reached 292, with dozens more perishing from their injuries. Reports indicate that a truck full of bombs plowed into a building that houses a coffee shop and several other stores, just after midnight on Sunday. The area was packed with people who were celebrating the end of their Ramadan fasts. According to CNN, the Iraqi Ministry of Health has confirmed that an additional 200 people were wounded.177 of the victims have undergone DNA testing to figure out the identities, and 115 bodies have already been to their families for burial. ISIS instantly claimed responsibility for the attack, and the Iraqi government executed five of their militants in retaliation. Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

'I try to keep a close eye on things,' said the concerned citizen, who canvasses his neighborhood nightly. 'I especially try to look out for those individuals most vulnerable to attackers, like young women. You wouldn't believe how easy it is for some sicko to spot a girl who's home all alone.' Parisi said he recently began compiling a photo archive of local residents 'for security purposes.' 
2	Emails Between Hillary And Obama Reveal They Were BOTH Involved In Benghazi Scandal It has been known that Hillary is guilty in the terrible incident in Benghazi, Libya. She is responsible for the lives of four Americans. Recent investigations indicate that Obama might have played a huge role in this along with Hillary. Emails are being investigated by the two. However, when investigators tried to see emails surrounding the event of September 11, 2012, Obama went into action. He completely refused to show these specific emails. His reasoning? There is a precedent of Presidents keeping emails secret if they choose to do so. He is essentially admitting guilt by not releasing these emails that seem to point to his involvement. Other presidents have hid the truth, so why not him? This is horrible logic. Should Obama be forced to release these?

'I sincerely regret that my carelessness has made precious five- and nine-digit codes, which are vital for U.S. information delivery, potentially vulnerable to unscrupulous individuals who would do us harm,' Potter said in a televised press conference Tuesday, during which he also announced his resignation. 'I have failed the president, the Postal Service, and you, the American people, by not securely safeguarding this sensitive data, which pertains to the current locations of literally hundreds of millions of U.S. citizens. I have no choice but to step down, effective immediately.' Officials refused to elaborate on the extent of the information leak, but did not rule out the possibility that everyone in the U.S. might have to move. 
3	Police Abduct 10 Children From A Family In Kentucky Because Of Their Off The Grid LifestyleBy Michael Snyder The most recent example of this that has made national headlines is particularly egregious. Joe and Nicole Naugler of Breckinridge County, Kentucky just had their 10 children brutally ripped away from them just because the government does not approve of how they are living their lives and how they are educating their young ones. Lets be very clear about this Joe and Nicole had done nothing to violate the law whatsoever. All of their kids were happy, healthy and very intelligent. But because the control freaks running things in Kentucky got wind of their off the grid lifestyle, they have now had all of their children unlawfully abducted from them. A lot of my readers also lead off the grid lifestyles similar to what the Nauglers had been enjoying. The Nauglers own 26 acres in a remote area of Breckinridge County, and their family has been described asextremely happy. But despite never giving them a single warning or a single indication that anything was ever wrong, Kentucky police raided their home on May 6th. The following is how the raid was describedon a website dedicated to this case On May 6th, 2015, Breckinridge Co. Sheriffs officers came to their home, acting on an anonymous tip, and entered their property and home without a warrant and without probable cause. Nicole was at home with the two oldest children, while Joe was away with the others. When the officers left the home, they attempted to block the access road to the family property. Nicole and the two boys got in their car to leave the family property. The got only a short way down the road before the officers pulled Nicole over. During this stop, sheriffs deputies took their two oldest boys from Nicoles custody, providing her no justification or documentation to support their action. Nicole was able to contact Joe briefly by telephone, but only for a short period of time, because she needed to use her phone to record the events. At that point, Nicole had been taken into custody for disorderly conduct (for not passively allowing the Sheriff to take her boys) and resisting arrest. Even though sheis 5 months pregnant, shewas slammed belly first into the cop car and bruised and scraped on both arms. And people wonder why there is such an uproar about police brutality in this country How in the world can a police officer ever justify treating a pregnant woman like that? The police officer that treated Nicole like that should immediately resign. Talk about an utter disgrace. You do not ever treat a pregnant woman like that. But this is America, where we are turning a little bit more into Nazi Germany every single day. You can listen to audio of Nicoles shocking arrest right here. When Joe arrived on the scene, the police continued to actlike Gestapo thugs Joe was able to arrange transportation to meet his wife where the stop had taken place. Joe attempted to get out of the car to speak with the officers and his wife, and to recover the vehicle Nicole had been driving. The Sheriff, with his hand on his sidearm, ordered Joe back into the car. Joe complied with that request. The sheriff informed Joe that he had every intention of making this as difficult as possible for them and that their car would be impounded, despite the fact that Joe was there onsite to recover it. A friend, who had driven Joe to the location, got out of the car to speak with the Sheriff. She was able to convince the Sheriff to let Joe recover the vehicle. Joe also recovered Nicoles cell phone, which had been recording audio the entire time. The Sheriff ordered Joe to turn the remaining eight children over to Breckinridge County Sheriffs deputies by 10:00 a.m., and threatened him with felony charges if he does not comply. Joe did comply with the Sheriffs order, and now their kids have been scattered by CPSamong families in four separate counties As of now, officials have placed the children with four families in four different counties, and as of Friday morning, the parents had not spoken with them. The four families are families that CPS chose families the Nauglers dont know. Shame on you Kentucky. You are supposed to be better than this. One of the most disturbing elements of this entire incident is that Child Protective Services never visited the Nauglers a single time and never gave them any indication that anything was wrong. The following comes fromOff The Grid News Child Protective Services never visited the home, said Ellsworth, who believes the arrests took place because of the parents choice of unschooling for their children, and because of their simple way of life that some would call backwards. The familys Facebook page calls it a back to basics life. They have a garden and raise animals. Deputies apparently were concerned about whether the childrens needs were being met, but friends say they personally have no concerns and that the children are blessed to have Joe and Nicole as their parents. How would you like it if government thugs raided your home and took your children away because they considered your lifestyle to be backwards? What in the world is happening to this country? Like I said earlier, what happened to the Nauglers is not an isolated incident. These kinds of things are happening all over the nation. For example, just consider the abuse that one homeschooling family receivedin New Jersey Meanwhile, in New Jersey, a WND report highlights how parents were interrogated by a CPS caseworker who questioned Christopher Zimmer and his wife Nicole, on everything from their sons homeschool education to questions about vaccines and guns in the house. Michelle Marchese aggressively demanded to enter the property after asserting Christopher Zimmer Jr. was not getting a proper education. Police subsequently arrived and allowed Marchese to enter the home before conducting a warrantless search. The Zimmers are now suing the CPS for $60 million in a case before the U.S. District Court in Trenton. I very much hope that the Zimmers win that case and collect a huge monetary award. All over the nation, CPS officials are running around acting like little dictators and trampling the law. They need the courts to send them a clear message that this is a nation where the rule of law still applies. If we do not stand with families like the Nauglers, control freak bureaucrats will continue to harass families that have chosen to live a basic lifestyle all over the nation. So lets stand with them and make this case viral all over the Internet. And Kentucky, get your act together and send those kids back home. You are supposed to be so much better than this.

Follow him on Twitter here. The pigs were probably spying on their Facebook. This site has a lot of similar stories: medicalkidnap I agree. I feel this would be a good place to post something I said two days ago: I would like to take this opportunity to inform anyone who is not already aware that Facebook is essentially a government spying operation. From the Huffington Post: Since leaked documents revealed that Internet companies like Apple, Facebook and Google were giving the National Security Agency vast access to peoples online information under a scheme codenamed PRISM, those Silicon Valley titans have taken pains to deny participation in such a program. But now, the NSAs top lawyer says that just isnt true. When asked at a hearing on Wednesday whether tech companies knew about and assisted with PRISMs data collection, Rajesh De, the NSAs general counsel, said Yes. Not only is Facebook just the shiny, consumer-friendly facade of Federal BlackOPS/Psyops programs, but Facebook has been caught blatantly lying about PRISM and noone even batted an eye (pretty easy to control popular opinion, though, when you control all the airwaves and have the ability to shadowban certain posts on the remaining social media platforms). And not only is everything you do online or through a phone stored permanently, it is actively accessed and proccessed using algorithmic software that allows the fascists to wring value from this massive amount of data and basically know the social networks of the whole populace, as well as what people are considered targets, people who may rock the boat too much and be a threat to the current ruling elite. If you think Facebook is just an innocent platform with no consequences for using it, think again. If you plan on simply going along with the status quo at a time when it is imperative for people to collectively Rise up against widespread oppression, then no it isnt as comparatively dangerous for you to use Facebook. But if you are like me, and understand there is a war going on and it is the responsibility and the duty of all conscious People to agitate for liberty and freedom, then I exhort you to practice security culture when it comes to FedBook or any other spyware used to centralize power in this Information Age even further. A link to help you with this: http://security.resist.ca/personal/securityzine3.pdf And a link putting much everything I said in a humorous, TL;DR version: http://www.theonion.com//cias-facebook-program-dramaticall So be careful out there, brothers and sisters. And rest easy knowing they only operate this way out of fear we will win in the end anyways, and we will win for them as much as we will win for us. Blessings! Just a little off topic, but relevant.. A recent article on zerohedge disclosed that the Swiss Central Bank ,SCB, that prints their money owns over $30 billion of Apple stock. They also own Google and Facebook stock. The SCB is the only central bank to disclose their assets. Is it a coincident that central banks are buying stocks in American corporations that implement the NSA global spy program? The stock market is rigged. The CIA/NSA fund all the startups in Silicon Valley for obvious reasons, global mind control. They CIA/NSA seem to own the stock market, too. Are central banks printing money, converting it to dollars and buying US stocks? That almost sounds like laundering counterfeit money. I think its much more likely the NSA. Snitch? Was likely made up IMO. Well done. Another reason that I dont do Facebook. I thought it was a bad idea way before the NSA stuff. Nowadays I suspicions are confirmed. This is likely a symbiotic relationship with commercial adoption. This is what tyranny looks like. It is imperative that we as a Nation fail this latest Litmus test. Heres the toll free # for Kentuckys version of Child Protective Services. I hope they need a fire extinguisher for their phone. Called two days ago. Thanks. I still cant get over the fact that these two people are over-breeding. I was too disgusted by that to care about them, gotta say. I cant get over the fact that your mother had been over-breeding as well. That you are consuming air disgusts me also. Thank you! Good post. Well, their children were happy and healthy. Maybe we should just bring in a bunch of illegal catholic breeder aliens, or Muslims to fill up the nation if you dont want good people to breed according to YOUR standards. How the frick do you know that the kids are happy and healthy!? Because Michael Snyder says so? Youre right. i saw several pictures in links pictures that people complained about because the kids were muddy and not meeting bloated societal perceptions and the kids were smiling in them and seemed happy. i suppose those may be the only ones shown or publicly available. One wouldnt tend to post the thumbscrews, whips, chains, and beatings whether they take place in the backwoods, the schools, or in crusty upper class homes. Yep. Over at InfoWars: The family also addressed allegations made by their estranged son, i have to admit my prejudice is slipping through. i moved to WVa in Nov 3, 83 onto 40.81 acres of raw land trees and overgrown clear flats on the little bit of bottomland. We lived in a literal tent until my house 12 feet X 24 feet could be built. i had to literally carry everything in on my back and in the wheelbarrow until it was stolen over a quarter mile. No power for 10 years a little generator at the end. Draft horse, milk cow, chikens, at various times goats, sheep, geese. Two kids running buck naked through the woods in summer, our water coming from a gravity spring the water heater an old gas water heater i converted to use wood. One hours fire and you had 30 gallons of boiling water which we ALL were sure to mix heavily with the piped cold water. At the end, i was a state homeschool area representative and yes i know some people shouldnt homeschool. Guess our problems tended toward christian groups trying to take us over rather than people abusing kids which is always a possibility, whether one schools them with others or homeschools them. Bad parenting is bad parenting and smears wherever it tries to grow. So maybe i am making assumptions about the family. The surface things i hear people whine about are bullshit societal paraigms that arent holding water the living space, the kids playing in the mud, etc. Those are all things that can be worked around. If these people havent bothered to do so, then they are not the sharpest knives in the sheath. If the children are (and likely are) as or more healthy than their average age peer group, then the known benefits of avoiding Clorox Mom syndrome are paying off. I have no problem with mud or parents who want to do what they want to do. Everyone screaming at me that the kids are happy and healthy when it is simply what they WANT to believe really pissed me off. And now, the eldest son, possibly a different mother, I am not sure, says his daddy beat and sexually molested him. And commenters dont want to even believe that! We dont know the truth. Plain and simple. Another article: i have sisters with implanted abuse memories put into them by counselors in their 20s. Could this be a parallel? How will we ever know? It really is not our business. If anybody over-bred, it was your parents. ZING! Good one! I agree with you ! Forgot to say I come from a family of 13, and I was the 11 th one !!! So there !!! family of ten. Mother legally blind so only dad could work. He still managed to send us to a private christian school and high school while working construction heavy equipment, etc. (well, they gave up on it taking in me, lol) THAT is one heck of a set of parents! idiot! You are an a$$. I came from a large family. We dont need trolls here. Thats what this county was built,I am ashamed because you dont know your history.Who grew your food?Farmers and Ranchers or monshitzso? See what you get for speaking your mind! A lot of criticism. Yes, it is the country of the free but it is still unwise to be too outspoken. To all your other criticizer I have only one thing to say: it is the country of the free, you are supposed to have the right to your own opinion, even if the opinion differs from others.. I can handle being criticized in this medium where one comment stirs people into reaction. It is not a big deal. In this day and age with what is happening on the planet people should not be creating 14 new people. It is ridiculous! Poor city slicker. Only child, Im guessing? Agreed. Having that many when there are so many starving is the height of selfishness. They see the increase in tyranny and want to provide more subjects? If theres one thing this story illustrates is that you cannot protect them. There is a lot of disinformation online. I dont even know if I should believe this story. I used to live in KY. Anyhow, regarding natural resources like food and water, and medicine, housing etc, I used to think we are definitely too many ppl on this planet. But then I read there is enough food for everybody, food scarcity is a lie, a way to manipulate us. I thought okay, but there is definitely not enough water. Then last night I came across a video claiming drought in California is a lie! Jeeezus! *shaking my head* So what is true??? Re this KY family, if they even exist, why would a woman give birth to so many kids? OMG! That idea is just overwhelming to me. Giving birth is not exactly picnic in a park! And then feed them and clothes them and make sure they are safe etc. And then life happened and now the kids are gone. So obviously this idea was not so good Is it right to take the kids away from their parents? Of course not! Now the kids will have a psychological problem for the rest of their lives. Our society just doesnt work, for anybody! Many self sufficient country folks (all over) have big families to help out. What better community than family? This doesnt belong in the same breath as big families playing the welfare game in our big cities. Yep. On the farm or homestead, kids are your affordable work force. Lots and lots to do means a new kid every year or so, until all the work is covered. I would rather see these ten kids in one family, with two parents, being raised in a healthy human manner any day over ten kids, in ten families, with twenty parents, half of whom are not present, living stunted lives in little apartments, addled with Ritalin and antidepressants so they can tolerate the boredom of being brainwashed in public schools. The corporatocracy that we are living under in this country doesnt want us living off the grid as self-sufficient independent thinking individuals. They only want good little mind controlled soldiers that follow all directives with no questions asked. As a former teacher I applaud parents that home school so their children are not indoctrinated into the lies of public education. Our history books have been skewed by the progressives in this country. CPS has no good intentions as they are paid royally to steal children for illegal adoptions and pedophiles. Please help this family fight the good fight. Yes sir, this is 100% true. Individual / personal / food/ mind SOVEREIGNTY means independance from their satanic economic /political system. They can not allow people to think and to be free! Ok, here we go: I did! Breckinridge County Sheriffs Office Phone:(270) 756-2361 Email: info@breckinridgecountysheriff.net Thank you, FM. Did you get any kind of response? Yes, the lady said she was besieged with profane calls and the phones were ringing all the time. She said there was a criminal charge against the Dad, gave the number for Clerk of Court but I never called. My point was the kidnapping of the yunguns. This is a time when we should all be examining our allegiances: Good post! A thinker!^^^^^ You can bet the criminal charge against the father is something they came up with after they took the kids. That makes it either bogus or a direct result of the Sheriffs actions. Either way, of all our governments intrusions into our lives these days, what truly is most despicable is what theyre doing to our children. Imagine if that $60 million were not allowed to be paid by the taxpayers, but instead was required to come out of the departments POLICE BUDGET? This shit would end virtually OVERNIGHT, would it not? Time to start bending the ear of your congresscritters, people. Ask him or her to sponsor a law to that effect: the taxpayers are SICK AND TIRED of paying for the crimes and misdeeds of cops. Sponsor a law that requires monetary judgements against police forces to be paid for out of the budget of the PD itself; the law must specify that the cost may NOT be passed on to the taxpayers. And where does the money from the PD come from? You are so, SO CLEVER!! The difference is this: if it comes out of the police budget, THEY DONT GET ANY MORE MONEY UNTIL NEXT YEAR. Payments from the general fund are handled differently; no matter how many pay-outs for settlements there are, they get paid. Its magic. The police budget is written once a year. If they have to pay out a judgement, theyre gonna have to sell some armored vehicles and computers, some weapons or whatever, and tighten their 46-inch belts. Start holding officials of all kinds PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE for that which they are complicit? The problem with taking the judgement out of the PDs budget is it punishes the good cops along with the bad. Thats why I advocate mandatory, individually purchased, professional malpractice insurance for anyone to work as a cop, and eventually expanded into a work requirement for all public servants, including these slimeballs at CPS. If we have to buy car insurance to drive, these government employees shouldnt mind having to purchase liability coverage when they are in a position to do such great harm to members of the public. How can I help? Who do I contact the sheriff ? Dont the voters decide who they want for sheriff? Maybe the next time he runs the folks should in his county should be made aware of the job hes doing. You do not own your children. Once you sign a birth certificate, they become wards of the state. I would equate government to the police. I would not use WND as a source, since they are a leading Obama is a Kenyan advocate and have had many scandals. We need the government to reign in the police. To conflate gubmint with police brutalty is to mistake a perverted part for the whole. Is it possible the children were not being educated? Could they read, write, etc? I am weary of the government is evil meme; unaccountable undemocratic government is evil. We need to create a democratic republic. We will not achieve this by claiming, as Reagan did (before expanding the government more than anyone in history), that government is the problem. Fascist government is the problem; democratic government is the solution. It does no good to blame progressives, since they are the champions of democracy and uniformly are calling for an end to the Police State. The Kentucky police are NOT progressives, folks. Stop scapegoating those who are working to make government accountable and end police brutality. The government IS evil. Im weary of it too, but it is a meme that is well founded in both history and modernity. You arent going to reform it. That is just the devil (George Soros, Koch Brothers, etc) whispering in your ear. Once government becomes big and powerful and all intrusive, it becomes the play thing of the rich and powerful. You cant reform that, all you can do is keep it small and dispersed; like the Founding Fathers envisioned. -Ken Repost updated info with shortened links for easy copy and paste.

New Earth Nation web site: http://www.newearthnation.org http://www.ThePeoplesBranch.org Their first mistake was using facebook. Second was opening the door for the sheriff since there was no warrant. Third was not having lawyer on speed dial. Connecting a couple of dots I wish more people could see: Part of the problem here is government acting as employer of last resort for people with worthless liberal arts degrees in order to prop up the value of those degrees for the banks who are making a fortune on the student loan bubble. Once those newly-minted petty dictators get the job they are so eager find some reason to exist that they go out and do the stupidest shit imaginable without a moments reflection on what theyre doing. Multiply that action by the millions of bureaucratic interactions with citizens from every conceivable alphabet soup agency and you have a recipe for national collapse. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. Declaration of Independence This family looks and sounds like they are decent, happy and caring people. I think the new world order cops and CPS workers cant tolerate this. They are a perfect target for these Nazis because they are a normal family with honest values. What kind of satanic cop slams a pregnant woman into a car? These cops and CPS workers need to be fired. I hope the family sues them personally and the agencies they work for. If I were the family, I would get the names of each and every person who participated in this action and, along with the agencies that sent them, sue each of them for entry without a warrant, the taking of the children, again, without warrants and failure to act without probable cause. Abuse to the pregnant mother as the officer did is what I deem assault without provication.

Living off the grid should be the way we all need to be. This is another stage of socialism; much like Hitlers Germany and the Soviet Union was. We need to be as free as we want to be.

We must bring back our Constitution as the only form of being a Repbulic! Democracy be damned! Socialism be damned! If you havent yet figured it out, thats the direction theyre takeing us! We the people do not have a central government and havent had it since before 1913! We are not the stakeholders; the corporations behind the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CORPORATION are the board of directors and stake holders. They run things in Washington D.C.!

No more U.N.; no more indivudual countries! All will be under one government with a billion or less people to govern. Their plan is to kill the majority of those existing today to meet that goal. Learn about the Illuminati who has been working on this for, at least 4 centuries. We Americans have been a stumbling block until now. As I see it, we need to continue to be a stumbling block in every way possible! As some country folk would say: ether youre with us or agin us! Which are you?

3	United Stasi of America Projected Onto US Embassy in GermanyYoutube 
1	According to a poll released Monday, the U.S. populace remained unsure which of the presidential candidates plans to destroy natural resources and render the environment unfit for human habitation would put more Americans back to work. On one hand, President Obama has proved his commitment to creating jobs that will poison the entire American Northeast with toxic fracking chemicals, but on the other hand, Mitt Romney, with his pledge to intensify oil exploration offshore and in our nations protected wilderness, seems genuinely determined to put millions to work contaminating the oceans, exterminating scores of species, and inevitably accelerating a planetary cataclysm, said Denver voter Lynn Russell, stressing the economic importance of good-paying jobs that systematically eliminate all remaining natural resources left on earth. The candidates have so many comprehensive ideas for ensuring that our overheating planetas well as human society in generalis pushed well beyond the point of no return, but its impossible to tell which one will go slightly farther in reducing unemployment. Voters nationwide reportedly found themselves even more on the fence after learning that both candidates had pledged to build dozens of job-creating nuclear plants that, in the event of a minor mishap, could render vast regions of the nation immediately unlivable. 
1	Tied up with their efforts to crack their most intriguing case yet, sources confirmed Sunday that the Harbaugh Boys missed the first half of Super Bowl XLVII while attempting to solve The Mystery of Smugglers Cove. According to sources, the amateur sleuths and head football coachesJim, the younger, brown-haired, and more fiery and brash of the two, and John, the older, brown-haired brother, who is also fiery and brashfailed to make kickoff for the championship matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens while investigating the mysterious circumstances surrounding the theft of a cache of priceless gems, just the latest case taken on by the prodigious detective duo. In between finding the jewels, stopping that ring of diamond smugglers, and our unexpected excursion to Parrot Island, we completely forgot about the big game! Jim Harbaugh told reporters, untangling his headset and tugging his windbreaker over his shoulders before rushing into the 49ers' locker room. Luckily, Old Man Hobson didn't mind giving us a ride back to the Superdome in his seaplane. That's two favors we owe him now. The Harbaugh Boys have reportedly wowed football fans and law enforcement alike with their impressive feats both on and off the field. In their latest exploit, the pair reportedly worked together to uncover the secrets surrounding the disappearance of valuable gemstones loaned out to the New Orleans Natural History Museum by the Countess Grafton. Sources confirmed that the case led the brothers through a labyrinthine adventure featuring hidden passageways, a steamy bayou filled with deadly crocodiles, and a mysterious blonde-haired man in a trench coatall while enduring the hype and public relations challenges posed by Super Bowl media week. Both of us were real busy getting our squads ready for the Super Bowl, but once we got word that the museum had been robbed just days after a glass-bottomed boat went missing off the shores of Smugglers Cove, we knew something was a little too perfect about this perfect heist, said John Harbaugh, who according to sources is considered to be the more logical and rational of the two brothers by a negligible margin. And since we knew the police weren't going to figure out this one on their own, we realized we had to get to work. In the end, it turned out that old widow wasn't as innocent as she wanted us to believe, the Ravens coach added. According to sources, the Harbaugh Boys have over the years tackled dozens of cases, including The Secret of Skull Mountain and The Disappearing Floor, often with the assistance of their doughy friend and sidekick, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Though the sibling detectives have successfully solved every single whodunit they have taken onall while maintaining an impressive 89-38-1 coaching record between themthe boys' father, Jack Harbaugh, a former college football coach and renowned private investigator, isn't always so enthusiastic about his sons' interest in his line of work. 'Frankly, I wish they would stay out of this business. They're good detectives, but they should focus on their playbooks and leave the gumshoe bit to the professionals,' the elder Harbaugh said. 'And a lot of the time, it seems they spend more time screaming at each other than they do actually solving cases.' At press time, sources said the Harbaugh Boys had again become distracted from their head coaching duties upon taking on The Mystery of The Missing Run Defense. 
3	Police Install Camera Focused on Back Yard of Womans HomeJay Stanley What prompted this apparently was that the city had had issues with our clients father. The property is a duplex; he lives in one side of the duplex, our client and her family lives in the other side of the duplex. And the city had gone around with the father about feeding wild cats. That was the reason, apparently, they put the camera in the treereally. The camera was in the tree for three days in late October, and took pictures of her house from 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. It took time-lapse pictures. Our client saw it and called the police about it. They sent out an officer who lied to her and said it was to watch people walking through the woods. The city now admits that was a total lie. But the next day, somebody from the city came and took the camera out. Bonney adds, Im glad we got a good resolution, but this issue is one that is going to keep popping up. Fourth Amendment law is in crisis right now as its application to vast areas of American life has been challenged by government agencies taking advantage of evolving technology. But the privacy of the home remains sacrosanct and in many ways is the clearest, easiest case for constitutional privacy protection, so even given the relative novelty of cheap video surveillance in our society, its somewhat surprising that such cases are coming up.

1	A U.N. factoid-finding mission sent to war-ravaged Liberia discovered that the West African nation is roughly the size of Tennessee, members of the U.S.-led team reported Tuesday. 'Did you know that the flag of Liberia was modeled after the U.S. flag?' asked Sieber, who has eight years of factoid-finding experience with CNN Headline News. 'The white star represents freedom, and the 11 red and white stripes stand for the 11 signers of the Liberian Declaration Of Independence.' Over the course of the mission, the teamcomposed of sound-bite engineers, fun-fact-checkers, and a trivia-pursuit squadcollected more than 300 informational tidbits about Liberia's geographical features, sports records, cuisine, and indigenous plant and animal life. 'The average U.S. citizen is woefully ignorant, not just about Liberia, but about the African continent as a whole,' Sieber said. 'For example, did you know Sapo National Park in Liberia is Western Africa's largest untouched tract of rainforest? Well, it is. It's also home to a great variety of animal species, including elephants, leopards, giant forest hogs, and the rare pygmy hippo.' Added Sieber: 'The Black Spitting Viper, also at home in Liberia, can spit venom distances of up to 20 feet.' The team began the mission on Aug. 12, during a period of unrest following the resignation of Liberian President Charles Taylor. Members gathered at the U.S. embassywhich, they noted, is home to the country's very first pay-telephone. From that point forward, the mission was a flurry of measuring, comparing, and contrasting. 'The fun-facts started flowing as soon as we got into the helicopter,' Sieber said. 'The pilot told us the OH-6A Cayuse light observation helicopter was first used during the 1995 peacekeeping efforts in Bosnia. A minute later, he told us Monrovia was named after James Monroe, the fifth U.S. president. I thought, 'Wow. That's interesting, and also easy to remember.'' The factoid-finding team collects data about Liberia's biggest, smallest, longest, and shortest. 'Liberia has 1585 kilometers of borderswith Cote d' Ivoire, Guinea, and Sierra Leone,' Sieber continued. 'But get this: That's only 72 more than the number of ships in the nation's merchant marine.' Vclav Mikulka, the team's legal counsel, told reporters he unearthed his first item of trivia shortly after landing in Monrovia. 'Liberian taxis are a bargain!' Mikulka said. 'You can travel from downtown to Sinkor for 15 Liberian dollars or 38 cents American!' According to spokesman Ahmedou Ould Abdallah, the U.N. was 'pretty surprised' by the team's report. 'I was completely unaware that, until 1999, Liberia had two different $1 bills: the JJ Roberts and the Liberty,' Abdallah said. 'I also didn't know that Liberian soccer player George Weah, named the World's Best Player in 1995, is known as the 'Lion King.'' Abdallah said the U.N. plans to act on the findings immediately, by distributing them to the media along with pictorial representations of the facts. 'To increase our understanding of the confusing situation in Liberia, we'll need to see some colorful icons,' Abdallah said. 'But for now, try this one on for size: Although Liberia has 47 airports, only two of them are paved. Isn't that interesting? Two of 47!' After waiting patiently for Abdallah to complete his comments, Kenzo Oshima, Undersecretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and a four-time Jeopardy! winner, provided a short list of his own favorite Liberia factoids. 'Well, some of the research team's findings were pretty good, but did you know...' said Oshima, pausing briefly for dramatic effect, 'that the original settlement of Liberia was purchased for trade goods, supplies, weapons, and rum worth approximately $3,000? What a steal! How about this: Liberia's oldest known resident is Moriba Magassouba. He's a retired farmer living outside of Liberia's second-largest city Zwedru, and just turned 103!' 'Did you know... that last year, Liberia received 200 inches of rain?' Oshima added. 'Oh, and watch out, because in Liberia, kissing is considered a dirty and disrespectful act.' White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said he was excited both by the facts themselves and by their potential impact on Liberia. 'We're hoping this report leads to a better understanding of Liberia, so that we can move toward solving its many problems... and those of the rest of the African continent, too,' McClellan said. 'And get this: Hilary Johnson, elected in 1884, was Liberia's first native-born president. I'll bet you would've thought it was later.' 'Look at this factoid: The youngest of the children who fought in Liberia's civil war were, get this, only 6 years old. Crazy world, eh? Truth is stranger than fiction, I say.' 
2	Donald Trump Absolutely DESTROYS Obama On Live TV During GOP Debate Presidential hopeful and legendary businessman Donald Trump just cant stay away from controversy, probably because he values honesty over being politically correct. At a recent campaign event in Nevada, Trump slammed Obama over his Iran nuclear deal. He also openly criticized the President for his views on Israel. After someone in the crowd shouted Israel! Trump responded with this gem. I heard the beautiful name of Israel, he commented. Israel is safe with this one, he said, pointing to himself. They have a president who they actually think Obama hates Israel, Trump continued. And I think he does Hes not wrong. If Obama has any respect for Israel, he certainly does a top notch job of hiding hit. 
3	Scientists Just Created a Dangerous New Form of SARSBy Joshua Krause The new strain is very similar to SARS, but is modified to be more contagious for humans. Essentially, it is a mix between a type of SARS that infects mice, and a new form of SARS that was recently found in Chinese horseshoe bats, called SHC014. The scientists who created the hybrid wanted to study this emerging virus, since they know it carries the potential to devastate human populations. According to Dr. Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina, The strain grew equally well to SARS in human cells, and It resisted all vaccines and immunotherapy, too. However, critics say that it is too risky to create these viruses, even if its in the relative safety of a laboratory. According to French virologist Simon Wain-Hobson, this hybrid strain grows remarkably well in human cells, and if the virus escaped, nobody could predict the trajectory. Wain-Hobson claims thatSHC014 would still need to evolve before making the leap to humans, which may never occur. In other words, these scientists are trying to create a virus that could kill people and spread across the planet, so that they can study a virus that may or may not do the same. 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	With its accurate, up-to-the-minute coverage of local news, weather and sports, the award-winning News-6 team keeps Southern Iowa TV viewer Cal Fenert in touch with Southern Iowa, it was learned yesterday. According to Fenert, I feel that I can depend on News-6. The Des Moines-based News-6, broadcast on local ABC affiliate KNZR, airs nightly at both 6 and 10. This means that if I miss the 6 o-clock news, Fenert said, I can stay in touch by tuning in to a wrap-up of the news that shapes my world at 10. Fenert, a retired auto worker, added: I look forward to joining anchorpersons Melanie Washbeyer and Jeff Crim, as well as meteorologist Steve Schaffer, with Bob Keenan on sports. According to reports, Fenert had only occasionally watched local news in the past; he was not aware that News-6 was putting him in touch with Southern Iowa until he saw its promotional advertisement on TV. In the ad, the News-6 team is shown individually, sitting on stools in front of a soft-colored background accompanied by synthesized music. Were keeping you in touch with Southern Iowa, Washbeyer says in the promo, looking away from the camera as if talking to a reporter. Said Fenert, I am kept in touch because the News-6 van is always on the scene when late-breaking news happens. Their experienced team of reporters is always on the NightBeat. Thanks to the three-time local Emmy-nominated news team, Fenert has also been kept in touch with kids and the community. News-6 takes time out for kids, and cares about the community, Fenert said. Thats why they feature Kid Care Mondays. And thats also why they feature the Good Neighbor Watch, which once a week profiles someone right here in my own community whos making a difference. Were doing our job right if Cal Fenert feels as though hes in touch with Southern Iowa, News-6 general manager Neil Roukman said. When Cal Fenert needs the latest coverage of local events, he can count on News-6. Roukman added that, like Fenert, he also cares about kids and the community. According to reports, when Fenert needs all the local sports scores, Bob Keenan of News-6 Sports provides them. I give Cal Fenert the latest pro and college scores and highlights, as well as update him on whats happening in the high school scene right here in Southern Iowa, Keenan said. If you want prep basketball results, there isnt better coverage in the whole state. And Fenert is kept well abreast of local weather conditions by meteorologist Steve Schaffer. He employs the latest Doppler radar technology to give me the dependable AccuWeather forecast I need, when I need it, Fenert said. Fenert reportedly was kept in touch as recently as last night, when he joined anchorpersons Washbeyer and Crim for the 10 p.m. update. I am glad I joined them, Fenert said. They put me in touch with the news and events that shape my world, and then they put it all in perspective. This, say insiders, is how News-6 can put Fenert in touch with the people and the stories that the other networks cant. News-6 is owned by Trans-GlobalMedia Enterprises Worldwide, Inc., a multi-billion dollar company that owns 607 stations across the U.S. The company was also ruled responsible last month for the chemical spill-related deaths of 80,000 workers at its plastics factory in Dharjahal, India. 
2	New Restrictions On Sale Of Firearms Starts January 1st Well, it looks that President Barack Obama is set to get his way in the New Year. Following the tragic terrorist attack in San Bernardino, Obama was quick to use the publicity as an opportunity to push his gun control agenda. In his address to the American public, Obama promised that he would take action on guns in America. Since that speech, however, he has been relatively quiet regarding the details. Now, reports indicate that sometime in mid-January, Obama is expected to issue an executive action that will drastically expand background checks on gun purchasers throughout the country. Under the new legislation, people who sell guns from their homes or at gun shows will be required to perform background checks when selling guns. Currently, only federally licensed firearms dealers must go through that process. That means that 40 percent of all firearms sales in America will be affected. Obama has let it be known from his holiday retreat in Hawaii, through unidentified advisers, that soon after New Years Day he plans to follow through on plans to expand the definition of whos in the business of selling firearmsand whos thus required to perform background checks, Newsmax wrote. Of course, the measure is expected to receive backlash from Republican leaders and the National Rifle Association. Even if the government found it necessary to expand background checks, Obama is going about this completely backwards. This issue, which impacts our Second Amendment rights, should not be a matter that falls to executive authority. What do you think? Are you tired of Obama attacking more like a dictator than the president of this country? 
1	While waiting for an elevator en route to a lunch meeting at Central Park's Tavern on the Green restaurant Monday, Citibank CEO Chuck Prince said he became 'spellbound' by the meal being consumed by an electrician working in the area. 'First, he opened some sort of tiny, metal, barn-looking object, and then he took out and ate one of those sandwich things, you know, the kind with bologna and two slices of mushy white bread,' said Prince, who was equally amazed that the electrician's snack-cake dessert wasn't set ablaze before consumption. 'I had heard of this sort of meal before, but never actually seen it. My goodness, his thermos contained soup!' Prince added that he was even more stunned when he realized that the electrician must have prepared his meal at home. 
3	Silver At Less Than 19 Dollars An Ounce? Are You Kidding Me???Michael Snyder Yes, gold is undervalued right now as well, but it is absolutely ridiculous how low the price of silver is. At the moment, the price of gold is about 66 times higher than the price of silver is. But they come out of the ground at about a 9 to 1 ratio, and unlike gold, silver is used up in thousands of common consumer products. Those that want to invest in silver should be shouting for joy that prices have fallen this low. If you have been waiting and waiting and waiting to load the boat, your moment has arrived. In my previous articles, I have warned over and over again that we would see wild swings in the prices of gold and silver. For example, I wrote the followingback in April As I mentioned above, gold and silver are going to experience wild fluctuations over the next few years. When the next stock market crash comes, gold and silver are probably going to go even lower than they are today for a short time. But in the long run gold and silver are going to soar to unprecedented heights. Investing in gold and silver is not for the faint of heart. If you cannot handle the ride, you should sit on the sidelines. We are entering a period of tremendous financial instability, and holding gold and silver is going to be like riding a roller coaster. The ups and downs are going to shake a lot of people up, but the rewards are going to be great for those that stick with it the entire time. Dont be. You will be just fine. When the price of an ounce of silver hits 100 dollars an ounce you will be very thankful for the silver that you stored away at those prices. We are moving into a time when we will see more volatility in precious metals prices than we have ever seen before. That means there will be some tremendous opportunities to make money. But in order to make money, you have to buy low and sell high. The current decline in the price of paper silver does not have anything to do with the demand for actual physical silver. In fact, demand for physical silver is higher than it ever has been before. For example, sales of silver coins by the U.S. Mint have set a brand new all-time record high during the first half of 2013. Last year, the U.S. Mint sold 33 million ounces of silver for the entire year. This year, the U.S. Mint is on pace to sell 50 million ounces of silver for the entire year. So dont be alarmed that the price of silver is falling. Instead, be very, very thankful. Hopefully it will go even lower. And you know what? There is a decent possibility that the price of silver may go down a bit more. This will especially be true during the initial stages of the next financial panic. When the price of silver does dip, it is a perfect opportunity to load the boat, because even many mainstream analysts are projecting that the price of silver is headed into the stratosphere over the long-term. For example, the following is what Citi analyst Tom Fitzpatrick told King World News the other day Again, if you look at silver going back to the 2008 correction, we got down to levels below $9, then we saw the silver price multiply by a factor of over 5 times. So assuming this marks a point near the end of the correction in silver, then our bias would be one that would take silver not only to new all-time highs, but we would look for a target as high as $100 for silver A chart illustrating the projections that Fitzpatrick is making can be found right here. There are so many reasons to own silver (even as opposed to owning gold). The following is an excerpt from a recent article about silver that really caught my attention ***** 7. Silver is way below its nominal record price of $50 in 1980. It is even further below the government inflation adjusted level of $135. And if you use REAL inflation adjusted numbers, like Shadowstats, the REAL 1980 inflation adjusted price of silver would have to be $450! Silver is a precious and depleting resource and when you look at the price of housing, cars, education, food, energy, taxes, insuranceback in the 1980s, it is insane to think that silver is so cheap on any level. Especially when the uses of silver have skyrocketed since the 1980s. It is now used in technology on a massive scale and is even now said to cure cancer. Heck, they did not even have Silver Eagle sales back then, or the Silver Bullet Silver Shield for that matter. 8. This time it is going to be much larger! None of the problems from the 2008 Banking Crisis have been solved. In fact it is orders of magnitudes worse. What started out as an institutional problem, is now a sovereign nation problem. This collapse will not be a puny multi billion dollar corporation like AIG disintegrating, it will be the Trillion dollar economies of the nations of the world and the Quadrillion dollar derivative monster markets cracking apart. There is no financial, political or social safety net left. We destroyed all of that in 2008 and are on a debt based junkie delusion. The collapse of currencies will affect every counter-party, debt based asset in the world. Your cash, stocks, bonds, Real Estate, pensions, insurance, all of it. The collapse of financial contracts will lead to the collapse of all political and social contracts. The Anger Phase of humanity is coming and only real assets with no counter party risk will be worth anything. Most commodities have storage or degradation issues leaving only precious metals as a real store of wealth. 9. 1:65 Ratio makes silver the only choice. The current gold to silver ratio is: 1 ounce of gold is worth 65 ounces of silver. These come out of the ground at a 1:9 ratio! That means just to get back to the natural mining ratio, silver would have to out perform gold 600%. This is regardless what happens to the dollar value of gold. If gold goes to $13,000 an ounce, silver at a 1:9 ratio would be $1,444 silver. 10. The historical stockpiles of silver are destroyed. We know implicitly that gold has been treasured and kept secure. While silver has been used and abused as a cheap, industrial metal like tin. Since the price of silver has been under attack since the Crime of 1873, silver has been used in such small quantities that it has been destroyed. The US government in 1950 had 5 billion ounces of silver in its strategic stockpile, now it has ZERO. So if gold and silver come out of the ground at a 1:9 ratio and gold has been treasured and silver stockpiles destroyed, logic would dictate that the end of this silver bull market will find the gold to silver ratio BELOW 1:9 and I think it will come close to a 1:1. Either way, we are a long way away from those levels which makes silver so exciting right now. It is the destruction of huge stockpiles like this that explains the decade long supply deficit to the growing demand of silver. Do not forget that we are only 7 years away from the United States Geological Surveys prediction that if we continue to consume silver at these rates, silver would be the first metal to become extinct. When I challenged the USGS on that statement,they said that only a massive revaluation of silver to bring on more production and wiser use of silver would stop the extinction. I dont think we will ever run out of silver, but I do believe that the free market will crush this paper manipulation and that anyone holding physical silver on that day will then have a lottery ticket in real value. ***** Do you want some more reasons to own silver? The following are some excerpts from an excellent article by Mark Thomas ***** The amount of silver consumed annually and bought for investment exceeds currently exceeds total annual mining output and has for years. That gap has been filled by sellers willing to sell from existing inventories and as prices rise. As time passes this will naturally push prices significantly higher until this fundamental imbalance reaches a true equilibrium price where supply is closer to demand. ***** Both industrial and investment demand for silver is growing in excess of the annual increase in mining production growth. The available inventory is low and will get even tighter over time. These two factors will lead to a continued tighter supply-demand situation going forward. ***** Silver is an industrial metal with over 10,000 commercial applications. Because it is one of the best electrical and thermal conductors, that makes it ideal for electrical uses such as switches, multi-layer ceramic capacitors, conductive adhesives, and contacts. It is used in some brazing and soldering as well. Silver is also used in solar cells, heated automobile wind shields, DVDs and some mirrors. ***** Silver is an essential element in the electronic gadgets that are a growing part of our digital age. It is in every cell phone, smart phone, tablet, computer keyboard, solar cells and every radio frequency if ID device (RFID). This makes it an essential element going forward as the world becomes more addicted to gadgets. The growth and rising living standards of people in the emerging economies will drive long-term growth of new customers that will demand more and more electronic gadgets. ***** Silvers industrial demand should increase 60% to 666 million ounces per year by 2016 from 487 million ounces in 2010. Current annual mine production is only around 700 million ounces per year growing a few percent annually. ***** Of a total of fifty billion ounces of silver that have been mined in history, only two ounces (estimate) or 5% remain in above ground inventories available to be bought and sold. This is due to silver being used up in industrial applications in very small quantities, which makes it unprofitable to recycle at todays prices. A lot of silver is used in minute quantities in industrial products which are used up and discarded without being recycled. ***** The total amount of silver available to trade in the physical silver market is only about $70 billion versus the total gold market which now exceeds $4.3 trillion. As you can see from these numbers, the total market size of the silver market is only 1.6% of the size of the entire gold market. This lack of liquidity and use of extreme leverage in its respective futures market produces wild volatility in price fluctuations of silver. ***** You can read the rest of his excellent article right here. Are you starting to get the picture? Let us hope that the price of silver stays below 20 dollars an ounce for as long as possible, because once this opportunity is gone we will probably never see it again. It is important to realize where we are in the greater scheme of things. The world is moving toward another major financial crisis which will usher in a brief period of deflation. Unlike many others that are talking about the coming economic collapse, I have always maintained that we are going to see deflation first and then the response to the crisis will give us the rip-roaring inflation that so many talk about. The following is an excerpt from one of my articles where I talk about this So cash will not be king for long. In fact, eventually cash will be trash. The actions of the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve in response to the coming financial crisis will greatly upset much of the rest of the world and cause the death of the U.S. dollar. During the initial stages of the next major stock market crash, gold and silver will not do very well. But that is okay. Dips are buying opportunities. As the coming economic crisis unfolds, governments and central banks all over the world will desperately attempt to resuscitate the global financial system. We are going to see money printing and stimulus packages on a scale that we have never seen before. Crazy things will happen with stocks, bonds and currencies. When the dust finally settles, those that are holding real money will be the ones that will be in the best shape. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

1	One week after the revelation that Alex Rodriguez had tested positive for steroids in 2003 and days after Rodriguez confirmed the allegations by admitting to using banned substances, the Yankee slugger was hopeful that the issue would pass without too much of a fuss. 'Sure, I've gotten blasted for my failure in the clutch, and people on the street still taunt me for slapping the ball out of that guy's hand, but maybe they'll let me go on the whole taking-steroids-for-years thing,' the embattled third baseman said from his Florida home. 'You never know. Steroids stuff happens all the time, plus I haven't upstaged a World Series in months and I've kept my continued extramarital affair with [international pop star] Madonna on the back burner, so I think I've earned a break. Yeah, this will all blow over in a day or two.' Rodriguez then turned off his television, threw all his newspapers in the garbage without looking at them, and retreated to his unlit and silent basement. 
2	BREAKING: Donald Trump Just Received Some DEVASTATING News... Hes Panicking A few months ago, when GOP establishment leaders Charles and David Koch announced that they would not make any moves against Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, conservatives everywhere were skeptical. Now, The Huffington Post has just released the bombshell report that Charles Koch has been confiding in his friends that if Trump falls short of the delegates needed to win the nomination, House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan would be a shoo-in to win the nomination. Though a Koch Industries spokesman claims these reports are completely false, the statement that was released tip-toes around their plan for the convention. Instead, it only guarantees that the Kochs wont make a move at the primaries. Let me be clear, Koch Industries spokesman Mark Holden said, we have never advocated for a specific candidate in a presidential primary, and we have no plans to do so now. Still, Charles Koch has slammed Trump in the past, claiming that he was withholding donations due to a lack of substance and civility on the campaign trail. In the past, Ryan has been described as one of the nations best-wired Republicans and a favorite to win the nomination. Hes the most conservative, least establishment member of the establishment, one source was quoted saying. Thats what you need to be. What do you think of these rumors? 
2	Outrage After Michelle Obama Was Just Caught Doing THIS As if we hadnt already seen enough of Michelle Obamas causes, the White House has announced that later this month, the First Lady intends to push her latest initiative in New York City. Toward the end of April, Michelle will be promoting her Reach Higher initiative, by celebrating her signature College Signing Day at New York Citys Harlem Armory. Around 4,000 high school students from various New York schools are expected to attendand there is no question that that will be indoctrinated with Michelles absurd ideas. The event is being hosted by MTV, who has done little to hide their liberal bias. If you ask us, Michelle needs to stay far away from the minds of our children. What do you think? Would you be upset if your child was attending this event? 
3	Vets Are the Last Line of Defense Against TyrannyDave Hodges On December 31, 2012, when he thought nobody would be looking, President Obama signed the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Pursuant to Obamas implementation of a police state, thousands of veterans are receiving letters from the government declaring them to be mentally infirm. The sole basis for many of these determinations which are purporting to be diagnosing mental incompetence is solely based upon the fact that the veteran has seen combat. Further, if the veteran has been wounded or suffered a traumatic brain injury, they are considered to be potentially violent, mentally infirm and, therefore, ineligible to own a gun. America, you better sit up and take notice. Our veterans are being disarmed in total and the process is emanating from executive decree through our federal bureaucracies. No judge, no jury, has declared these veterans, who received the disarmament letters within the past week, to be mentally infirm. This is a thinly veiled draconian effort to take guns out of the hands of people who know how to use them. There can only be one reason the government is hell-bent on disarming veterans. Armed veterans would form the vanguard of any resistance movement. The globalists who have hijacked our government are attempting to take away Americas front line of civil defense by disarming the veterans. Veterans would no doubt employ the principles of asymmetrical warfare such as the use of Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) which became famous during the last Iraq War. To prevent this from happening, the globalists must psychotropically drug the veterans, and to continue to keep creating such a hellish life for veterans that our brave warriors will continue to commit suicide at the rate of 22 per day. From the globalist perspective, veterans cannot be allowed to become our 21st-century version of the minutemen. Dont you think the globalists learned the lessons of the British defeat at Lexington and Concord as they were attempting to disarm the colonists? I can only think of two reasons why veterans must be removed from playing the role of a civilian defense force in defense of average Americans who do not have a seat at the table of the planned New World Order. Reason #1: The Coming Civilian Purge Globalist forces, under the NDAA, will begin to disappear dissenters and others deemed not to be able to be re-educated as prescribed by Obamas early political handlers, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorne. Veterans, no doubt, would resist the mass arrests that are coming under this criminal government. To those who think this is impossible, ask yourself for what legitimate motive could the government have passed the NDAA if they were not planning to mass arrest citizens without due process of law? Did Congress and Obama just have nothing better to do last New Years Eve? Mass arrests of undesirables are a necessary prerequisite to the imposition of a tyrannical government. Reason #2: Making the US Easier to Invade It is probable that the United States is being set up to be invaded as evidenced by the systematic implementation of a stand down approach by the American military stationed at critical and sensitive areas within our country such as in Alaska. I am receiving multiple reports from citizens in Alaska who are reporting the sightings of Russian troops in their small- to mid-size towns, as well as people sighting the movement of what appears to them to be the movement of Russian military equipment inside of Alaska. And before you tell me, we are just doing joint training exercises with the Russians, I would ask all readers to be cognizant that we are still on the verge of war with Iran, and Russia has threatened to nuke America if it attempts to invade Iran. Additionally, two Coast Guard personnel were murdered in Kodiak, Alaska, last spring. The official version is that this was connected to a robbery attempt. However, locals and family members believe that these two men saw something, while on guard duty, that they were not supposed to see such as the offloading of Russian military equipment. Additionally, Obama has recently ceded seven Islands to Russia. Why? Alaskan residents have told me that they rarely see the F-22 over flights along the west coast, which is a hop, skip and a jump from Russia and now we find evidence of this fact in print. The locals see this as the US letting their guard down against a potential Russian invasion. Also,military bases in Alaska are being reduced in force, thus further serving to weaken our defenses against a potential Russian land invasion. Again, this is happening at a time when tensions between Russia and the United States over Iran are high. Also, the F-22 overflights, which have been a staple of the American defenses against possible Russian incursions since the beginning of the Cold War, have ceased. I think it is also relevant to note that the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms thugs unsuccessfully attempted to seize gun registration records in Alaska in 2012. After all, a well-armed civilian force would serve as an impediment to an invading force. All of these factors have led me to ask the question as to whether Obama has purposefully compromised American defenses, in key areas, to make it easier for a foreign force to invade? Perhaps he has determined that an invasion can accomplish what he is unable to accomplish in Congress. Maybe this also explains why Obama keeps sacking top US generals and admirals. Perhaps they are not on board with this planned treason. To some who would say that this is far-fetched, I would remind the readers that Russian commandos are also training at Fort Carson, in Colorado Springs, doing only God knows what, since last spring. Obama is a decided communist, bred by communists, raised by communists and his political career was launched by communists. For the proof that Obama is an unmistakable communist, not just an usurper of the Constitution, but is an actual dedicated communist, read the links both here and here. Some Alaskan locals believe that the plan is to have Russia control Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Others have postulated that the occupation of the American Northwest will be shared between Russia and China. This will be covered in more detail in an upcoming article. Of the two scenarios, I think it is likely that both scenarios are probable. The subsequent removal of veterans as a paramilitary force would serve to make this country far easier to subjugate by an internal and deadly purge or by a direct invasion. Either way, I cannot see another valid reason to disarm tens of thousands of veterans without using a legitimate form of due process. Historically, What Happens When Veterans Give Up Their Guns? The disarming of veterans has happened before in the annals of history. I hearken back to the infamous Red Revolution. Recently, a Russian blogger wrote the following about the history of his own country, with regard to the Red Revolution, in an attempt to get Americans to realize that veterans should never give up their guns under any circumstances. Moscow fell, for example, not from a lack of weapons to defend it, but from the lying guile of the Reds. Ten thousand Reds took Moscow and were opposed only by some few hundreds of officer cadets and their instructors. Even then the battle was fierce and losses high. However, in the city alone, at that time, lived over 30,000 military officers (both active and retired), all with their own issued weapons and ammunition, plus tens of thousands of other citizens who were armed. The Soviets promised to leave them all alone if they did not intervene. They did not and for that were asked afterwards to come register themselves and their weapons: where they were promptly shot. And thus, one of the most ruthless empires in the history of mankind was born. This is what is being brought to our country. The best predictor of future actions is past behavior. If you want to know what is coming to America, investigate three historical events: (1) The (Japanese) Rape of Nanking in WWII; (2) The practices of the Russian secret police who had their own version of the NDAA; and, (3) the practices of the Markus Wolfs East German Stasi forces, who set up the organizational structure of the Department of Homeland Security. Veterans, America needs you. You must, under no circumstances, give up your guns. Do not comply with these illegal, non-judicial orders from the federal government. You are Americas last line of defense. And for everybody else, given the evidence presented here, I dare you to come up with a plausible and alternative explanation on why we should allow our veterans to be disarmed. I also implore my journalistic colleagues to investigate this matter even further as we need many eyes on the situation in Alaska. The old phrase, from the movie starring the late Jonathan Winters, The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming, is more prophetic than one might think. 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: 
2	Detroit Muslim Stabs Two People Because Of Their Religion The Verdict Of The Courtroom Will Have You Outraged The nation is outraged after Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper declined to charge a Detroit man with a hate crime after he stabbed two people at a Southfield bus stop. He is suspected to have been motivated by religious hatred. According to Nick Loussia, Deputy Chief of Police for the Southfield Police Department, the suspect, Terrence Lavaron Thomas, is Muslim, and asked the victims what religion they were before attacking them. When police arrived at the scene, they found that the 52-year-old victim had been stabbed in the head, neck and back, while the second victim, 51, had been stabbed in the hand. Both men were taken to a nearby hospital, and were later released. Now, Thomas is being charged with two counts of assault with intent to murder, carrying a dangerous weapon with unlawful intent, and possession of marijuana. Investigators are still interviewing witnesses about the incident. At this pointIm not hearing anything that is going to monumentally change any of the charges, Officer Walton told reports. The FBI is looking into the case to see if any federal hate crimes were committed. Were taking all of the logical investigative steps with regards t the sorts of violations we investigated, David Porter, a spokesman for the Detroit FBI told reporters. There is no update to provide. Thomas bail is currently set at $1 million or surety bond. 
2	BOOM: Megyn Kelly Just Got SLAMMED With The Worst News Imaginable According to a report by Adweek, Megyn Kellys The Kelly File has been in a tight competition for ratings with MSNBCs Rachel Maddow. The competition was especially fierce among the 25-54 age demographic, where The Rachel Maddow Show nearly tied Kelly in total viewership on Wednesday. This is the third time this August where Maddow has either tied or surpassed Kelly among that group. Maddow also beat Kelly File in the demo on Monday, August 15 (428-416) and on Thursday, August 4 (493-485), reported Breitbart. The Fox News Channel still pulled in 500,000 more overall viewers, but the 25-54 is of vital importance because of its high value to advertisers. Although the close competition comes while Kelly is taking time off as host for vacation, The Kelly File far surpassed Maddows show while Kelly was on vacation this time last year. While Fox News remains Americas most watched cable news network, MSNBC has taken a significant jump, beating out CNN in the second quarter of 2016 for total viewership in prime time and in the key demographic. July marked MSNBCs most-watched month in nearly four years And it wasnt just Maddows show outperforming expectations; All in with Chris Hayes and The Last Word with Lawrence ODonnell also saw big gains over last year, Breitbart reported. Some attribute Kellys sinking ratings to her attack on Donald Trump earlier this year. What do you think? Could this indicate serious trouble for Kelly? 
2	Kid Rock Risks His Entire Career To Show America What It Really Means To Be A Patriot [SEE PHOTOS] According to recent reports, Kid Rock has just come out with a new clothing line endorsing President-elect, Donald Trumpand its controversial, to say the least. The rocker has been an outspoken patriot for some time now. His clothing uses profanity to endorse Trump and criticize those who cast their vote for Hillary Clinton. Kid Rock issues the following statement about his intentions behind the new line: Due to overwhelming demand, we decided to go ahead and actually make this other current event merch, the Michigan native tweeted on Monday, introducing a collection that includes a handful of products that some people would find highly offensive. One shirt boasts the slogan Gods, Guns, and Trump, a phrase thats already adorning other merch sold on websites including Amazon. Another, which the singer donned for a recent concert, shows a map of the United States and highlights the states that voted for Hillary Clinton in blue and the states that voted for Trump in red, calling the blue states DumbF***istan. What do you think? Do you support Kid Rock or is he taking things too far? 
1	Speaking on his cell phone while waiting in line to buy stamps Monday, Brad McCall assured girlfriend Stephanie Green, as well as 14 customers and six postal workers at the Jefferson Street Post Office, that he will do everything in his power to change. 'Things have just been so messed-up for me lately with all the stuff that's been going on. I know I haven't been myself,' he explained to Green and the crowd of strangers. 'But all that's gonna change soon.' McCall also told fellow post-office patrons that if getting a place together is what it takes to make her feel like he is committed, he is 'totally willing.' 
2	Look What Happened To Seattle Since They Raised The Minimum Wage To 15... As suspected, the new $15-per-hour minimum wage rate in Seattle is already causing problems. Some workers are reportedly asking their bosses to give them fewer hours, because they are making more money faster. In fact, working full time may actually be detrimental to those on welfarethey may become ineligible for food stamps and rent assistance. A local TV station recently interviewed a nursing nonprofit, that admitted that workers are cutting hours to avoid losing assistance. If they cut down their hours to stay on those subsidies because the $15 per hour minimum wage didnt actually help get them out of poverty, all youve done is put a burden on the business and given false hope to a lot of people, Jason Rantz of KIRO-FM commented. The wage hike has also caused various stores, restaurants and small businesses to shut down. What do you think of the extreme wage hike? Is it completely unsustainable? 
3	Parent Offers Epic Response to Vaccine HomeworkHeather Callaghan Over the weekend, a reader sent us an actual homework assignment from an unspecified elementary grade (below). Its titled Medicine and coerces the young mind to believe that vaccines (and prescription drugs) are the main route to overall health, if not the only route. That without them, there would be a gaping lack of health a vaccine deficiency? Sadly, this is not for Health Class! Like so many other assignments weve seen, this is for a staple class (the three Rs) but produces propaganda about an unrelated topic. Weve seen this happen for math classes in story problems. In the upper right corner is the word comprehension indicating that this is from Reading class. The sheet is copyrighted 1995, but this is a recent assignment. The parent, however, would have none of it. Not only did she cross out the entire assignment with a large X, epic on its own, but left a response that didnt pull punches. Here is the assignment and the parents response typed below: The explanatory paragraph mixes the idea of vaccines as part of a healthy lifestyle, falsely claiming that by taking them, youll never contract measles, mumps and other illnesses. Unfortunately, it is the vaccinated that are getting hit the hardest with disease spikes like measles and whooping cough and like the fox with its tail cut off are encouraged by the media to blame others for not having their tails removed too. In question #4, A word that means medicine that keeps you healthy is' the child is forced to select a. for vaccine. At the end is an open-ended question to determine if the child will explain the guided response that vaccines are the equivalent to taking care of yourself and will prevent disease. Its only a comprehension assignment in that the child is meant only to comprehend vaccine propaganda and medical dogma and be able to repeat the program back to an authority. The parents epic response stands up for medical autonomy and reminds the teacher of age appropriate topics and privacy: Please send home work! I have decided to not have - do this homework and will ask to not have her do school or home work on drugs and shots!! This is a serious and complicated issue that should be between [her] parents and her healthcare provider. At her age, she cannot make informed decisions about the risks. This appears to be propaganda! Thank you Thats just it this inappropriate assignment is making the decision for the child outside of the family life and even the course provided by their healthcare providers. But with no talk of risks. A unilateral decision about medicine in what appears to be a Reading class. Drug corporations do not have a place in childrens classrooms. If children are brainwashed to believe that vaccines are a necessary part of health theyll never flinch at the idea of forced injections. Theyll never question the increase of new vaccines in the pipeline ready to have forced subjects. Or ponder that global corporations like Merck and cowardly, money-grubbing politicians do not have public health in mind See also: 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: Fear is a weird thing isnt it, the hyped fear of sickness as Measels compared to when their children is crossing the street, or rushing down the mountain side in what, 50 to 70 km/h in skiis, hitt anything hard anouf and the child will either be a cripple for life or die of the trauma of impact, happends often, more often that people realise. Our hospitals, I count for Norway only but thinks the numbers are in the same leauge in the states, where Norwegian hospitals kills 5000-7000 huans pr. year, and inflicts damages upon 20 000-30 000 humans of an population of 5 mill. weird isnt it peace I liked your analogy. Mortality for measles is about 2-4 in every 1000 cases. Rate of morbidity are higher. Why would you take that risk? Thats bullshit. Youre talking about third world countries where people are malnourished in unsanitary environments. You dont die from measles in the developed world. Given that the twin towers to psychopaths in power are in place top-down controlmind (government) and a system of accounting for the energy We add (a money system) it is no surprise that They are filling schools with propaganda to promote chemical lobotomy and patentable, profitable healthcare.

Most welcome. We truly would do best with different systems in place. The more the ideas are shared, the more likely We will choose better. [smile] Revolution in ideas, not blood. Did You give an oath and find its bait and switch? Well, there is no oath then, is there? You said : Insider said : I say : Frankly, I have no clue what Youre talking about as far as tools being everywhere. The only tool *I* have is the interweb for sharing awareness that We do not have to consent to the NWO merde systems (money top-down controlmind) that promote psychopaths to power. And given ALL money systems promote the psychopaths amongst Us, any reset will be nothing but a setback. They WILL regain control. This planet is vastly abundant and the only thing that keeps the artificial scarcity in place is money. It is an impedance between that abundance and Us Humans. And why do We need to account for Our energy added when aether energy is effectively infinitely available, though the tech is suppressed? We can do FAR better than maintaining an accounting of Our energy. Revolution in ideas, not blood. Did You give an oath and find its bait and switch? Well, there is no oath then, is there? Have you ever heard the expression Money is a Weapon ? A weapon (a tool) can be used BOTH ways. Im trying to use this most powerful tool, Money ! I have thought deeply, was in banking 15 years, and have a firm grasp of both standard and foundational economics. But I will tell You for sure, You have NOTHING compared to what the few on this planet reaping all the wealth have. Good luck. Meanwhile, this destitute, old, arthritic lady will be working to end poverty, oppression, wage/debt slavery, intrusion, and profiteering (war profiteering, prison profiteering, pharma profiteering, medical profiteering, chemical profiteering, food, water, air profiteering), all of which will NOT go away unless We remove the systems of money from use, as these all spring directly from the accounting for Our energy. Revolution in ideas, not blood. Did You give an oath and find its bait and switch? Well, there is no oath then, is there? And still, after 15 years, you dodnt understand that Money is a tool everyone can use ?! Imagine you were a millionair and ALL your friends were millionairs. What difference would it make !? I understand that it motivates: theft, coercion, blackmail, bribery, fraud, threats, and murder. Sure, We can poke sticks at things with it. Without it is much like Us all being millionaires, without the motive to do dirt for more money. Without the use of the accounting system for Our energy added into the system, We ALL can live as richly as Each might CHOOSE. Theft will become extremely rare (why steal when You can order freely what You want on the web?), the motive to coerce drops to interpersonal levels (a radical reduction), there is no purpose nor means to blackmail or bribe, no motive to threaten or murder (except again on a personal level again a radical reduction. You can go ahead an poke Your sticks at the branches. I will remove the root. And that graphic is a laugh! Revolution in ideas, not blood. Did You give an oath and find its bait and switch? Well, there is no oath then, is there? To understand the chains that bind you, (all) you need to understand the significance of the Birth Certificate. Google Meet Your Strawman. There are more and better but its an easy to read start. We the human race are sovereign, govt cant change that fact of life. We have our own law. BUT you are tricked by the Birth Cert. to believing they can RULE you. To understand the chains is to see that You are giving implied consent when You take any of that fiction seriously. Just saying. Revolution in ideas, not blood. Did You give an oath and find its bait and switch? Well, there is no oath then, is there? For crying out loud stop parroting and learn something useful.

I parrot nothing, and offer the distillation of 60 years of learning. And lest You noticed, those links I gave? Thats My site, dear One. I noticed was disappointed. What I have learned in over 70 yrs you have to get more specific about what you are trying to inform people of not continually repeating clichs. Different people understand via different wording also, so you try to say same things using different wording. It also stops others becoming bored to tears. I can see your mother didnt wash your mouth out with soap. No My mother taught Me that when an expletive was in order, the polite thing to do was to use the initial. [smile] Perhaps You had issues with My signature? I have left it off, in case. You think I am unaware? Ive tried every wording I can think of to appeal to as wide array as possible. Perhaps You would like My most recent article: The Abundance Paradigm Whats In It for Me? Would love feedback. [smile] The poor have welfare, supplied by the rich. Take away the rich and the poor have no welfare. If you could translate your imagination into hard action maybe youd have something. Words we get by the ton from Obama, Action? Not so much. You provide blinding glimpses of the obvious without concrete answers. Sorry, Im not reading long posts. Have you ever heard the expression. A gift economy is the way all for FREE to all = no profit = nobody can buy a man for a salary = no corruption / no theft possible when all is for free = healing of society and What you are describing is the ULTIMATE CORRUPTION ! Simply.. this will never happen, and that is GREAT news. I say : Im not planning anymore, Im doing it. Would you care to tell the rest of us just how we can do this? You said : Are you not aware of the problem YOU want to create ? To spend taxes FIRST there must be a system of collecting taxes (legal theft). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpcfZzx8xY0 We all are born as SOVEREIGN beings we all could rule our own lives if elite didnt indoctrinate us into believing that sovereignty was reserved only for their class As soon as we, as individuals, understand that, we can start changing it. I understand that fully. Thus I work to allow Us to live as the sovereigns We are, partaking of the abundance here at will. Revolution in ideas, not blood. Did You give an oath and find its bait and switch? Well, there is no oath then, is there? Gifting sharing using and producing FREE SERVICES/ FREE OBJECTS is the only way to bring down their satanic profit based economic system! I avoid the term sharing. It implied there is not enough for all to have Their fill. Do We speak of sharing the air We breathe? The sand particles We walk on? No. This planet is vastly abundant that We all could have Our fill and sill have most left over. But yes, if We remove accounting for Our energy (money), We ALL may choose to live as richly as We desire, creating as We love to do, earning social currency for creating towards Betterment, and selling to the highest appreciator of Our work, not the highest bidder. Without money, everything is, indeed free. Did You see the links I posted? Revolution in ideas, not blood. Did You give an oath and find its bait and switch? Well, there is no oath then, is there? We have such a system now. By spending that money to bootstrap Us into a planet without accounting for Our energy would be a FAR better choice than spending it on war and all the other things the psychopaths use Our energy/money for. Revolution in ideas, not blood. Did You give an oath and find its bait and switch? Well, there is no oath then, is there? When our names are registered they are put in a box (on a This is what our lives freedom is based on literally I wonder if all awake parents could get together All govts are CORPORATIONS so can be sued, so too are On one hand it could delay being forced to have the Just withdraw consent from that idiocy. Dont acknowledge it. Do check out the links I offer above. Revolution in ideas, not blood. Did You give an oath and find its bait and switch? Well, there is no oath then, is there? According to the copyright date on the reading assignment about treatments for common childhood illnesses or used to be tells a lot about when the pharmaceutical companies and the CDC decided to ramp up the vaccine schedules. Considering who and what are running our government tells us how according to them we cant make our own health and wellness decisions. They have adulterated our food supply and arent happy that they cant kill us off fast enough. This parent did the right thing by sending the homework assignment back to the teacher in hopes that she understands that this is propaganda and conditioning of young minds. This is why parents should find a way to home school their kids. Thank you Heather for reporting on this. Ive been busy exposing a lot of online shills over this issue. Lately its been like shooting fish in a barrel because they dont cover their online tracks too well. Thank you for what you do! The VAERs (co sponsored by CDC) statistics for 2014 were the highest ever with 38,519 MAIMED and 3,737 killed from vaccines All 18 years and younger. These numbers are going up every year. We dont need an expert for that. We dont even need a debate. To make this mandatory is criminal. I will not have my children inject my children with poisons and neurotoxins approved by Jewrys CDC. So you start out with some good facts about VAERS and then continue with an anti-semitic rant that totally undermines your argument. Idiocy. Research who owns all the drug companies, and what the Talmud says about goyim, and then come back and we can discuss this. But many Jews identify themselves as Semites. So I identify myself as Superman. Makes me him right? I dont really care what they are called. Bigotry is bigotry no matter what name you ascribe to them. And turning an argument into another is ignorance. And most of it is practised by themselves. One could say undermine, or better.proves the argument. The medical profession is responsible for 280,000 deaths every year from malpractice. Vaccine related deaths are included in that large number. Get perspective. I have not has a flu since 1977 when I received the vaccine. I have not had the flu since not a vaccine. I do not get colds I do not get sick. My Son was vaccine injured and my daughter may have been as well. (Mental problems from age 11.) Dont forget lifelong health problems caused by vaccinations that lead to early death by other things they are not counted as vaccine deaths. Excellent point. Not to mention all the needless medical costs over the years. The flu rarely maims . . . Colloidal silver does not cause autism. I guess since half the kids in school are taking a bunch of medicine (I had a 7 year old surgery patient who was bipolar and taking at least 7 meds), weve got to make them think thats normal and Ok. Medicated = controlled. Take the mind, critical thinking skills, and health away at an early age. This is their business model. ! word ,rockfeller , if these founding eugenics drug cartel tyrants wanted a population explosion and not a depopulation they wouldnt be lobbying for mandatory shots , now would they? think about it Home school and no vaccines needed. btw hcg anyone?anyone?anyone? also I heart all of you contributers HCG is human chorionic gonadotrophin. It is the female hormone which is released when a pregnancy occurs. I started a Facebook group called Reading 180 Sucks. Run by Scholastic, same problems. Thank you. I have an FB group on this topicnew: Corporate Curriculum Sucks. Used to be called Read 180 Sucks. you Heather are a top-class moron Will you explain your rationale or is this simply your way of getting attention? He brings the dog shame. All part of the ceaseless mind control to turn us into totally compliant, totally obedient slaves who will do whatever we are told, believe whatever we are told to believe without a second thought. It is about destroying free will. my comment deleted. This comment program. Discuss, is a co-opted tool..do the homework. What are you saying here please? The Common Core curriculum will be the final, devastating blow to our childrens government , a.k.a. Public School education. If you presently have children attending government schools, if you have grandchildren, nieces, nephews, attending government schools, FIGHT this with all of your might. Continue im surprised the mother wasnt visited by CPS and/or a swat team Those brainwashing techniques reminds one of hollywood. falsely claiming that by taking them, youll never contract measles, mumps and other illnesses. Unfortunately, it is the vaccinated that are getting hit the hardest with disease spikes like measles and whooping cough That depends on how you read the data. Less unvaccinated people are getting sick but there are less of them. As a percentage of their population the unvaccinated are infected much more frequently. 
2	Liberals Are Attack Phil Robertson, But Hes Not Backing Down Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson is speaking out against Obama and his decision to move forward with the controversial nuclear deal with Iran. I dont do deals with individuals whoever they are, when theyre hollering at the top of their lungs when I walk out the place where were doing the deal, and theyre saying: Death to you! Were going to kill you, Robertson told CNS news at the Stop the Iran Deal rally being held outside the U.S. Capitol. Thats the last bunch you want to have nuclear weapons. Robertson went on to describe our relationship with Israel, and why it must be protected. Israel, the most faithful ally that we have, he claimed. You know why I love Israel? They wrote the Bible. Thats why I love them. Robertson then traced back the ancestry of Jesus Christ, and gave a stern warning against harming Jesus descendants. They wrote the Bible, for crying out loud, he continued. Therefore, you never, ever want to put them in unnecessary danger, which this deal will do. Of course, America is sure to suffer along with Israel. What do you think? Do you support Robertson standing up for his beliefs?

Apparently, Obama is ashamed that Americans who travel to France can speak French. Let us just point out that he has lesser expectations for the illegal immigrants who come into our country speaking Spanish. Watch Obamas comments below and tell us what you think. Should we be embarrassed about Obama and not the other way around? 
2	Welfare Leeches Everywhere Just Got Some Horrible News According to recent reports, Wisconsins FoodShare programs has just made the controversial decision to begin requiring adults who do not have children to work for their benefits beginning April 1. The decision will affect all able-bodied adults between the ages of 18 and 49 who intend to renew or apply for benefits after the beginning of the month. The standards require that participants are working a minimum of 80 hours a week. An adult who fails to meet the work requirement will face a three month limit of FoodShare benefits in a 36-month period. That standard will hold until they meet the requirement, become exempt, or surpass the 3-year time limit. The decision was made after an already controversial reduction in the amount of money FoodShare recipients are receiving. In fact, there have been claims from the elderly population that they only receive $16/month for groceries. Since the cut went into effect in 2013, participation in the program has dropped by 40,000. Of course, for anyone who has been frustrated with the blatant abuse of the benefits system, this is a huge win. No longer can people who should be working sit back and live off of government support. Those that oppose the work-for-benefits change argue that the decision will affect more than 60 thousand people in Wisconsin, and could send more of those people to food pantries or soup kitchens. What do you think? Do you support Wisconsins decision? 
2	Melania Trump Ends News Outlet For Manufacturing Disgusting Lie About Her Sex Life Melania Trump has decided to sue Daily Mail for defamation after they ran an article riddled with lies. In a controversial piece, The Daily Mail stated that Melania was an escort in the 1990s, implying that she was a sex worker. Mrs. Trump has placed several news organizations on notice of her legal claims against them, including Daily Mail among others, for making false and defamatory statements about her supposedly having been an escort in the 1990s, Trumps attorney, Charles Harder, wrote in an email statement. All such statements are 100% false, highly damaging to her reputation, and personally hurtful. She understands that news media have certain leeway in a presidential campaign, but outright lying about her in this way exceeds all bounds of appropriate news reporting and human decency, he concluded. What do you think? Do you applaud Melania for taking a stand against media corruption and the reporters who have repeatedly dragged her through the mud during her husbands campaign? 
1	Watching in amazement as their classmate Doug Horgan received yet another free miniature box of cereal and a banana Tuesday morning, first-graders at Eisenhower Elementary surmised that the pampered 6-year-old must be very well-connected. I think Doug knows Principal [Dennis] Garcia or something, or maybe his dad is famous, fellow student Eric Reynolds told reporters, noting with awe that all Horgan has to do to get free food is walk up to the counter and show his super-special ticket. Hes allowed to pick out whether he wants a muffin or yogurt and the lady just gives it to him. I even heard that a teacher used her own money to go out and buy him pencils and crayons to draw with! According to Eisenhower Elementary sources, if the free stuff wasnt enough, Horgan also gets to watch TV all night while his mom is out working. 
2	Walgreens New Policies Now Promote HomoAccording to reports that until now have been keep relatively quiet, Walgreens has been continuously donating a substantial amount of money to the LGBT movement. In fact, in 2006, the drugstore was a Platinum-Level sponsor of the Chicago Gay Games. The event is also known as the Gay Olympics and calls itself the worlds largest sporting and cultural event organized by, and specifically for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) athletes, artists, and musicians. The games were first started in 1982 in San Francisco, and are currently held every four years. According to the Federation of Gay Games (FGG), this is the mission of the event: The purpose of the Federation of Gay Games is to foster and augment the self-respect of lesbians and gay men throughout the world and to engender respect and understanding from the non-gay world, primarily through an organized international participatory athletic and cultural event held every four years. Tom Kovach of RenewAmerica.com has called for the Christian community to boycott Walgreens for donating to the event. The Illinois Family Institute has also come forward with their opposition of the event. Some are also pointing out the irony in Walgreens slogan The Pharmacy That America Trusts. Does Walgreens know that less than two percent of Americans identify as homosexual? What do you think? Will you boycott Walgreens? 
3	3 Ways to Open a Can Without a Can OpenerHeather Callaghan Or make a camping trip slightly less inconvenient. Or save you a trip the store when your modern chintzy can opener inevitably breaks the first time you use it (true story for me). These three ways to open a can without a can opener are listed in order of least convenient to most convenient. A couple methods require some other type of tool, plus strength. But really, anyone can do this! The right angle and leverage goes a long way. It isnt the most ideal way (unless youre a chef) because it requires the knife, considerable strength and can be unsafe if not carefully done. This person is a pro. The gentleman below show the next two methods. Handy if you have a spoon and some strength and persistence. Use the spoon to weaken the groove around the rim of the top of the can. Press spoon in to puncture and continue as needed. The best method for outdoor/survival situations. Requires no tools and minimal strength. Turn the can upside down and vigorously rub against the concrete until the seal is weakened to the point of being able to press the lid inward or squeeze can to open lid upward. This video of two Russian gentleman show the concrete/rock method working on small cans and the preference of squeezing to open. Ah! Tuna juice everywhere. Wowthanks to the commenter below who found this unknown video! This is a closeup of the cans seal, introduced in 1909 and I dont think its much different today. You can see why the rock/concrete method works so well. There you have it once learned, this cannot be unlearned. Go forth and open cans. Heres my annoying can opener story and why I constantly scan yard sales for old timey can openers. My parents once gave me a brand new can opener from the store for my new living space. The first time I used it, it crumbled in my hands and broke. I dont think it even punctured the can. Piece of garbage. Not the first time this happened, either. Later, my father found a box of utensils left by generations of yore and in it was an old can opener Im guessing from the 1960s? It looks somewhat like this and this model came out on the market in the 1920s: This one still serves me daily in the kitchen. I highly recommend that any time you come across old, but high-quality can openers at yard sales and thrift shops you pick them up! I pick up old utensils (like non-electronic egg beaters) all the time for daily use because they always work and after decades of use still show no signs of breakdown. For me, this is the answer to the question Why cant we have nice things anymore? Find them while you can. But speaking of nice things, for under $1.50, you can snag yourself a nifty Vietnam-era P-38 can opener that can fit on your key chain. There is also a P-51 model. This video shows how to use them. 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: Hey there Scotty, you should crush up some wheaties in a mortar and pestle then run a magnet over the crumbly aftermath, youll find all sorts of little bits of iron. Jagged pieces arent sharp enough to cut anything when the pieces are small enough, their is no such thing as sharp sand, let alone smaller pieces like dust. If your describing something as jagged youre not describing dust, your talking about rocks or at least gravel You cant anything without some sort of shavings of whatever you are cutting. I guess one could chemically cut metal and not have metal shavings, but youd be left with chemical waste as a bi-product instead of shavings 
3	Man Buys Front Row Tickets to MLB Game to Make an Epic Political Statement Fitting for Tax DayBy Jay Syrmopoulos The recent taxation is theft campaign has taken the Internet by storm, raising awareness about the concept of taxation as a form of theft. If you are confused by the term taxation is theft, just think of the government as people without any special privileges, as they are meant to be representatives of the people, not omnipotent beings granted special rights. If an average person takes money from someone under the threat of force it is called robbery, but if the government does it is considered legal and moral, and is called taxation. No one ever agreed to this arrangement, it has been forced on millions of people against their will, and a long list of justifications have been created to convince people that they are not being stolen from. And while there are social welfare programs and infrastructure projects that benefit some people, this is a minuscule fraction of the total amount stolen by the government in the form of taxes. The vast majority of the money that is brought in through taxes is used for bureaucratic budgets, collection enforcement and paying the costs associated with maintaining a global military empire. Since the government is allowed to extract money from its citizens by the barrel of a gun, this guarantees that they will have funding for any kind of project they want, even if those projects are unpopular with taxpayers. This is because the public has no choice but to pay taxes, therefore they have no say in how their money is used. When you see an entire wedding party killed in Afghanistan by an armed U.S. drone, be aware that the weapons that killed them were purchased with the money stolen from you under threat of violence. It is amoral to pay taxes to an entity that uses the funds to wage unjust wars and reap death upon millions across the globe. It is this rational deduction that has led to one of the most epic photobombs in sports history. Below is friend of the Free Thought Project, Kory Watkins, letting the world know Taxation is theft. Apparently the camera man even felt the moment as he zoomed in at the exact same time Watkins stood up to show his message. Bravo Kory Watkins and bravo camera man. Jay Syrmopoulos is a political analyst, 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 TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Ben Swanns Truth in Media, Truth-Out, Raw Story, MintPress News, as well as many other sites. You can follow him on Twitter @sirmetropolis, on Facebook at Sir Metropolis and now on tsu. Little things like this give me hope Hope is a trap. Its only a trap if yore gullible enough to vote for it People are free to leave the country so it is not forced on anyone. If you think government is the problem there are a few failed States like Somalia where you can live government free. That doesnt mean you wont have to deal with an authority apparatus it just wont be a government apparatus you must be one of those people who believe that the rules apply to everyone simply because of their physically being within a particular geographic area, right?? Is the application of law arbitrary and capricious, or a belief in magic?? Remember, we want your FACTS,.. tangible, factual, personal firsthand, irrefutable facts, not your feelings, beliefs, opinions or the feelings, beliefs or opinions of others.. Not a circular argument such as; the law applies because the laws says it applies Nor hearsay, rumor, speculation, assumptions, presumptions, hypotheticals, conjecture, sophistry, obfuscation, scenarios, what ifs, fraud or lies. FYI; ad hominem attacks wont support your supposition of applicability either!! Somalia is a failed state because of US CORP intervention, like Libya, Djibouti, Cuba, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan. Why should we leave when the government is corrupt? Who do you work for? Lets play spot the shill. Oh oh oh. I see him! pick me, pick me, pick me. I see him! If the ignorant people such as yourself would leave then the country would be much better off WE ARE NOT FREE TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY. I was turned back at the Canadian border because I did not have the right papers!!! Even if you are free to leave (a dubious proposition at best) you are NOT free to take your money with you! You doubt this? Try it for yourself. Nose Tip what a terrible post. Troll or ignorant. You of the old Love it or leave it OLD hippie retort. Love something this outrageous. Never. Leave our homes so the rape can continue. Never! You do old hippies a great disservice. The country is just an area of land, it is not robbing anyone. The theft is done by men and women, under color-of-law. I was born here. A free human being. I exist as a physical entity. The government (mind control) is an abstract construct which has the authority (meaning the state of being authored) to take your stuff because other people hide behind the construct. They writeauthorthe rules that allow them to profit from your existence while burdening you from the moment you are born. just because the thief is draped in a flag, doesnt make the the theft any less a crime! Who paid for the stadium? Wait, THE FLAG is responsible for mass murder? Are you an animist? Do you believe inanimate objects commit acts and hold power over you? Unfortunately so many people are now dependent on this theft it could get to the point where a majority could become tyrannical toward a Tax paying minority. Taxation is the price we pay for a civilized society. Police, firefighters, schools, hospitals, roads, bridges, sewer treatment plants, garbage pickup, clean air, drinkable water, ports and airports, soldiers, sailors and marines, aircraft carriers, fighter jets and social programs. If you dont want to pay taxes, dont live in a civilized society and steal the tax money that your fellow citizens pay. See if you can find a place to accommodate you, but stop using the infrastructure that I am only to happy to pay for. Taxation is theft is a bullshit slogan. We are all in this together. 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. GOVERNMENT IS NECESSARY. Every slave master says that their job is necessary. Its not different from a robber saying Im here to help you as he takes your wallet at gunpoint or a cop saying Stop resisting as he beats an unarmed victim to death. Kudos this man has a pair. If you put a star of david over the treasury seal it will misspell usery The LAW they wrote!!!! Of course they have the Authority because they are the Authors. The words are blatant but we have been lied to from day one. If hope is always bad, how do you explain what had the men of 1776-1784 endure? How the phuque would you even be writing something on a website like this if it werent for the hope those men possessed in their soulsYou aremaking the exact same argument the commies and fascists to about guns being evil? So go live in the woods. In every society, there need to be rules, and folks to enforce the rules. How do you not get that? If you must reply, try to do so without resorting to name calling. The only people who need rules are rulers who cant otherwise productively contribute to society hence the need to dominate others and slaves, who are taught that their own minds have no worth and that superiors need to tell them how to live. Both groups are equally worthless and neither has contributed to the advancement of our species. If the rulers and slaves all disappeared tomorrow nobody would miss them 
2	After Obama Says Economy Is Strong, Nations Largest Employer Closes 295 Stores During his recent State of the Union address, Obama proudly claimed that the United States of America, right now, has the strongest, most durable economy in the world. To support his claim, he talked about the growth of private-sector jobs and the falling unemployment rate throughout the country. Still, evidence exists to show that our countryand our financesare still at risk. In fact, business owners everywhere are still struggling to recover from the 2008 financial crisis. That is clearly demonstrated by Walmarts recent decision to close hundreds of stores throughout the country. Actively managing our portfolio of assets is essential to maintaining a healthy business, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said in a statement. Closing stores is never an easy decision. But it is necessary to keep the company strong and positioned for the future. Walmart employs more than 2.2 million people worldwide, and more than half of them is in the United States. The majority of closures are Walmart Express, a venture that never really caught on with the public. The announcement follows a recent decision from Macys to also close a number of locations. What do you think? Are you tired of Obama trying to pull wool over our eyes? 
3	The Price Of Corn Hits A Record High As A Global Food Crisis LoomsMichael Snyder, Contributor The worst drought in the United States in more than 50 years is projected to continue well into August, and more than 1,300 counties in the United States have been declared to be official natural disaster areas. You may not think that you eat much corn, but the truth is that it is in most of the things that we buy at the grocery store. In fact, corn is found in about 74 percent of the products we buy in the supermarket and it is used in more than 3,500 ways. The following is from a Washington Post article that was posted on Thursday. Nearly 40 percent of the corn crop was in poor-to-very-poor condition as of Sunday, according to the U.S. Agriculture Department. That compared with just 11 percent a year ago. The crop, if you look going south from Illinois and Indiana, is damaged and a lot of it is damaged hopelessly and beyond repair now, said Sterling Smith, a Citibank Institutional Client Group vice president who specializes in commodities. About 30 percent of the soybean crop was in poor-to-very-poor condition, which compared with 10 percent a year ago. Conditions for both crops are expected to worsen in Mondays agriculture agency report. More than half of the country is experiencing drought conditions right now, and this is devastating both ranchers and farmers. Right now, ranchers all over the western United States are slaughtering their herds early as feed prices rise. It is being projected that the price of meat will rise substantially later this year. The following is from a recent MSNBC article. For example, you may want to make room in your freezer for meat because prices for beef and pork are expected to drop in the next few months as farmers slaughter herds to deal with the high cost of grains that are used as livestock feed, said Shawn Hackett of the agricultural commodities firm Hackett Financial Advisors in Boynton Beach, Fla. But, he added, everything from milk to salad dressing is going to cost more in the near term, and eventually the meat deals will evaporate as demand outstrips supply. So there may be some deals on meat in the short-term as all of these animals are slaughtered, but in the long-term we can expect prices to go up quite a bit. But it isnt as if food is not already expensive enough. The price of food rose much faster than the overall rate of inflation last year. As I wrote about yesterday, American families found their grocery budgets stretched very thin during 2011. Just check out these food inflation rates from last year. If prices rose that fast last year, what will those statistics look like at the end of this year if this drought continues? Sadly, America is not alone. According to Bloomberg, the U.S. is not the only place that is having problems with crops right now. Dry weather in the U.S., as well as the Black Sea region; a poor start to the Indian monsoon and the possibility of emerging El Nino conditions suggest agricultural products may rally, Barclays said in a report e-mailed yesterday. And all of this is very bad news for a world that is really struggling to feed itself. In many countries around the globe, the poor spend up to 75 percent of their incomes on food. Just a 10 percent increase in the price of basic food staples can be absolutely devastating for impoverished families that are living right on the edge. You may not have ever known what it is like to wonder where your next meal is going to come from, but in many areas around the world that is a daily reality for many families. Just check out what is happening in Yemen. Crying and staring at his distended belly, 6-year-old Warood cannot walk on his spindly legs. We become so familiar with sickness, said his mother, who according to social norms here does not give her name to outsiders. She says she has watched two of her children die. I have to decide: Do I buy rice or medicine? The United Nations estimates that 267,000 Yemeni children are facing life-threatening levels of malnutrition. In the Middle Easts poorest country hunger has doubled since 2009. More than 10 million people 44% of the population do not have enough food to eat, according to the United Nations World Food Program. In the United States, we arent going to see starvation even if nearly the entire corn crop fails. Our grocery bills might be more painful, but there is still going to be plenty of food for everyone. In other areas of the world, a bad year for global crops can mean the difference between life and death. Sadly, it is being projected that the current drought in the United States will last well into August at least. But even when this current drought ends, our problems will not be over. The truth is that we are facing a very severe long-term water crisis in the western United States. Just check out the following facts from foodandwaterwatch.org. The 1,450 mile long Colorado River is probably the most important body of water in the southwestern United States. Unfortunately, the Colorado River is rapidly dying. The following is from a recent article by Jonathan Waterman about how the once might Colorado River is running dry 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. You can either do it in crisis mode, Pat Mulroy said at this conference, or you can start educating now. People need to wake up because we have some very serious water issues in this country. In the heartland of America, farmers pump water from a massive underground lake known as the Ogallala Aquifer to irrigate their fields. The problem is that the Ogallala Aquifer is rapidly being pumped dry. 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. Once upon a time, the Ogallala Aquifer had an average depth of about 240 feet. Today, the average depth of the Ogallala Aquifer is just 80 feet, and in some parts of Texas the water is totally gone. Right now, the Ogallala Aquifer is being drained at a rate of approximately 800 gallons per minute. Once that water is gone it will not be replaced. So what will the breadbasket of America do then? Most Americans do not realize this, but we are facing some major, major water problems. Let us pray that this current drought ends and let us pray that everyone around the world will have enough to eat. But even if we get through this year okay by some miracle, that doesnt mean that our problems are over.

'Obviously JaMarcus Russell has had some troubles on and off the field, but I've seen nothing that indicates he couldn't find a home with the Raiders and reinvigorate his career,' Davis said. 'We'd be extremely fortunate to acquire a quarterback like Russell, a player who can beat you with his arm or his feet, to help us overcome our recent disappointments at that position.' Davis told reporters that the Raiders were currently negotiating a deal with Russell that included more than $22 million in guaranteed bail money. 
3	Holder Takes Aim At Homegrown Extremists Who Have Domestic ConcernsEric Blair These homegrown violent extremists keep you up late night as well trying to monitor them, anticipate what it is that they are going to do, Holder said Sunday. Holder recently revived the DOJs domestic terrorism task force to focus on citizens who they allege to be extremists. This is just another sign that the war-on-terror apparatus is being turned inward on the American people. America has already been declared war zone in the borderless Authorization to Use Military Force in the perpetual war on terror, and reaffirmed in the NDAA of 2012 which declared U.S. citizens can be indefinitely detained by armed forces without due process for mere suspicion of ties to terrorism. Even direct murder of Americans overseas is now sanctioned when they are suspected of terrorism. And, finally, the glue that completes the growing police state apparatus is the all-encompassing surveillance grid. Its now clear to everyone that the U.S. government is spying on all citizens digital communications, finances, medical records, biometrics, and so much more. The U.S., by any definition, has become a militarized police state. Americans have few protections left from the governments protection racket which has become inverted. The government claims to protect us from people who may spy on us, by spying on us. They claim to protect us from violent thugs with cops that conduct no-knock SWAT raids on peaceful people. They claim to protect us from thieves and financial collapse by stealing from us to give to the thieves. And now they want to declare war on the American people to protect us from those who may declare war on us. Its time to wake up and realize that the government is the big fat pink terrorist in the room. Recently byEric Blair

Finally the Banksters, financial firms, hedge funds and now the yieldcos that push this idiocy, the wrath of all humanity will be your reward. Cap and Trade is no formula for prosperity. Now the stakes have changed and the debate shifts as righteous outrage is about to erupt. Christopher Booker cites numerous instances to back up his assertion in the essay, The fiddling with temperature data is the biggest science scandal ever. Further stats challenge the deceitful doctrine that drives the Global Warming money-making machine. However, the True Believers will never accept any data that conflicts with their beliefs. Hottest year ever? Skeptics question revisions to climate data is just one more problem for them to ignore. John Casey spills the beans in Scientist Confesses: Global Warming a $22 Billion Scam.' He found evidence buried right in the governments own environmental studies that destroys their argument for global warming. Using their own data, John has proven, once and for all, global warming is a sham. A sham that our government spends $22 billion a year financing. Fact: We Havent Seen Any Global Warming for 17 Years! Lie No. 2: The Oceans Are Getting Warmer Fact: The North Polar Ice Cap Is Increasing in Size!

2	Dalai Lama Warns America And Europe About Muslim Refugees... Obama Shocked This week, the Dalai Lama suggested that maybe, just maybe, the immense flow of indefinitely housed refugees into Europeans countries is a bad idea. When we look into the face of every single refugee, especially the children and women, we can feel their suffering, the Tibetan spiritual leader commented. A human being who is a bit more fortunate has the duty to help them, he continued. On the other hand, there are too many now. Europe and America cannot become an Arab country, The Dalai Lama added. The Daily reported that he was laughing at the time, aware that his comments would appear socking. From a moral point of view too, I think that the refugees should only be admitted temporarily, he concluded. The goal should be that they return and help rebuild their countries. President Obama cannot be happy about this. When the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism is saying we are overextending ourselves, you know we have gone too far. We also know that Obama looks up to the spiritual leader, and has called him a powerful example of what it means to practice compassion and someone who inspires us to speak up for the freedom and dignity of all human beings. What do you think of the Dalai Lamas comments? 
3	Barnaby Jack, Worlds Most Elite Computer Hacker, Dead At 35Chris Carrington The 35 year old was highly respected in computer security circles, often finding back doors into systems that left them open to cyber attacks. He found fame when he publicly hacked an ATM machine making it give out random amounts of money in a technique that became known as jackpotting. His death, which is being described as unexpected by friends, occurred on Thursday in San Francisco. The Medical Examiners Office has confirmed his death, but has given no other details so far. He was due to give a lecture at the Black Hat Event in Las Vegas, which starts tomorrow. His presentation entitled Implantable Medical Devices: Hacking Humans was due to be given on August 1st. Jack had discovered that medical devices such as insulin pumps and heart pacemakers could be hacked from a considerable distance, causing the pumps to dispense fatal doses of the drug and pacemakers to malfunction seriously enough to stop the wearers heart. The presentation was to explain to companies the vulnerabilities of such devices and how they could be improved to prevent tampering. With millions of implantable devices in use in the United States alone, the possibility of some kind of mass murder atrocity is a very real one. Black Hat said in a statement: We have lost a member of our family. Everyone would agree that the life and work of Barnaby Jack are legendary and irreplaceable. Barnaby had the ability to take complex technology and intricate research and make it tangible and accessible for everyone to learn and grow from. Beyond his work in our industry, Barnaby was an incredibly warm hearted and welcoming individual with a passion for celebrating life. We all have a hilarious and upbeat story about Barnaby. He is truly a shining example of what we love about this community. Black Hat will not be replacing Barnabys talk on Thursday, Aug. 1. No one could possibly replace him, nor would we want them to. The community needs time to process this loss. The hour will be left vacant as a time to commemorate his life and work, and we welcome our attendees to come and share in what we hope to be a celebration of his life. Barnaby Jack meant so much to so many people, and we hope this forum will offer an opportunity for us all to recognize the legacy that he leaves behind. Our deepest sympathies go out to Barnaby Jacks family and loved ones. Words cannot adequately describe how much he will be missed, but it is certain that Barnaby will NEVER be forgotten. (source) What killed Barnaby Jack remains to be seen, though its distinctly possible we will never know for sure. Its not inconceivable that someone, somewhere may not want the vulnerability of implantable medical devices, and of medical drug administration apparatus to become common knowledge. It would after all be a very convenient way to kill millions of people without even laying a finger on them.

3	Labeling Is Not the Only Thing About GMOs We Dont KnowCatherine J. Frompovich Recently, concerned citizens have taken a second look at GMO technology relative to the toxic chemicals used in the development of genetically modified food and seeds, plus their application in the environment. Currently, the Hawaiian island of Kauai County Council voted 6 to 1 on a bill that requires agriculture companies to disclose the chemicals they use in testing and growing GMO crops. Furthermore, the bill would prevent the use of those chemicals from being sprayed near schools, hospitals, residential areas, and waterways. [1] Because of the year-round growing season Hawaii offers, biotech companies set up shop to grow and test their GMO innovations in paradise leaving residents concerned about being exposed to apparently many unknown toxic chemicals, which are not disclosed; they dont want to be exposed to; and, consequently, must be made public knowledge. According to AG Professional, Originally the bill would have limited GM crop planting, but those provisions were eventually removed from the bill. Seed companies argued that the original bill would have forced them off the island completely, and they would have challenged the bill in court. DuPont Pioneer, Syngenta, Dow and BASF grow corn on Kauai on land abandoned by sugar growers, according to the New York Times. [2] failed to meet legal requirements for reviewing the environmental impact of such practices before permitting them and, more broadly, that because of their persistence and other special characteristics, they have no place in areas set aside for protection as wildlife habitat. [3] The wildlife area involved is the Detroit Lakes Wetland Management District, which extends over five counties in northwestern Minnesota. The Center for Food Safety, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, Sierra Club, and Beyond Pesticides filed a lawsuit against the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior; the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service [FWS], an Administrative Agency of the U.S. Department of the Interior [4] wherein Plaintiffs contend: Defendants decision to permit farming with pesticides and GE crops at these Refuges violates federal statutes. In addition, CFS members grow organic and conventional seed crops, and consume products made with non-GE materials and without pesticides. CFS members also regularly eat organic foods and desire foods that are free of GE material and chemical pesticides. The proliferation of GE crops on refuge lands will contaminate non-GE crops nearby, and reduce the supply of food containing ingredients that are not contaminated with GE material. FWSs actions in allowing chemical pesticides and the introduction of GE crops in Region 3 will make it more difficult for CFS members to produce, sell, and eat foods not contaminated by GE material. The Sierra Clubs concerns encompass endangered species, habitat protection, pollution, genetic engineering, and industrial agriculture, including the use of pesticides, all of which are at issue in this case. The use of pesticides and the practices potential impacts on endangered species, amphibians, pollinators, and wildlife habitat are of particular concern to Sierra Club members. The loss of bees and other beneficial insects, and the threats to native ecosystems and wildlife posed by certain pesticides and insecticides, harm the interests of the Sierra Club and its members. And how about this major and rightful concern: FWSs actions in allowing pesticide-intensive farming as well as the introduction of GE crops in Region 3 will make it more difficult for Sierra Club members to produce, sell, and eat foods not damaged by pesticide drift or GE material. Sierra Club members grow organic seed crops and consume products made without pesticides or GE materials. Planting GE crops on refuge lands will contaminate non-GE crops nearby, and reduce the supply of food processed with ingredients that are not contaminated with GE material. Regarding the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the lawsuit contends NEPA sets forth substantive environmental quality goals for the government and the nation. See 42 U.S.C. 4331. Under NEPA, every agency of the United States Government must include an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in every recommendation or report on proposals for legislation and other major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. 42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C). Other Lawsuits Regarding GMOs According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Lawsuits filed against Creve Coeur-based Monsanto Co. over claims it failed to contain genetically altered wheat found on an Oregon farm, will be consolidated in Kansas, a judicial panel ruled. At least 16 lawsuits will be sent to U.S. District Judge Kathryn Vratil in Kansas City for pretrial evidence gathering, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation ruled Wednesday. Plaintiffs, who include an environmental group and a Washington farm, accused Monsanto of failing to take necessary steps to prevent the altered wheat from contaminating regular wheat. [6] In a lawsuit filed in District Court in Colorado in November 2012, the Plaintiff alleged that Defendant Pepperidge Farm, owned by Campbell Soup, misrepresented the product as Natural whereas Goldfish Crackers contain GMOs in the form of soy or soy derivatives. The suit further stated that since GMOs contain genes or DNA not natural to soy/soy products, the product cannot be considered as natural. [7] And, the recent lawsuit filed in Washington State regarding the Grocery Manufacturers Association and its tactics regarding Initiative 522 to have GMOs labeled in that state. [8] Consumer Advocacy The question that consumers and consumer advocacy groups in the United States need to be evaluating and, in turn, asking of U.S. federal agencies is this: Where are the Environmental Impact Studies, Assessments, and Statements for GMOs? Asking for that information may be a little late, but better late than never, in this writers opinion. The lawsuit filed by the Center for Food Safety, et al., just may be the Achilles heel for the GMO industry together with the lack of transparency in product labeling for GM/GE food stuffs. If the USDA certifies the organic label [5] emphasizing organic agricultural growing methods, then USDA ought to certify GMO products so that consumers who want to eat GMOs ought to have that information made clearly available via product identification and labeling. Whats to be afraid of in truth in advertising? Isnt it about time consumers held governments feet to the fire on transparency, especially regarding what we put into our bodies as food, water, and vaccines? What do you think?

3	The Story Of 2 Stories - Old Tricks Are Powerful Indicator Of How Information War WorksBy Bernie Suarez Lets take a look at story number one, the recent New York City obviously staged terror bombing where the exact same boring script (only sloppier than ever) has been rolled out on the American psyche. It goes like this: Boom! Explosion out of nowhere takes place, it coincides with other news the controllers dont want you to know about (like the illegal preemptive US air strike on the sovereign nation of Syria JUST to defend their ISIS proxy army). This New York City staged bombing story where, as I mentioned in my initial coverage of this obviously staged event, amazingly no one is killed and zero actual organic witnesses are initially interviewed is then pushed on the American psyche in the usual systematic matter outlined in stages for your convenience: This is what they are doing now, and who better to call to fill in the blank in this psyop narrative than the ever-dangerous despicable and US CIA terrorism number one fabricated intelligence all-star agency the SITE Institute and terrorism script screenwriter Rita Katz. Now Katz and her laughable SITE Institute are confirming that the patsys family are dangerous terrorists on the loose. Pay attention my truth-seeking friends as this may prove important in case they want to stage another Boston bombing-style lockdown to find these dangerous extremist family members or the supposed remaining possible suspects still on the loose. There are also new concerns that other members of the bombing suspects family may have had pro-jihadist views, reports CBS News correspondent Jeff Pegues. Site Intelligence Group published Facebook posts allegedly shared by Rahamis sister Aziza. Some quote radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki. In other posts, she appears to praise terrorists, and use imagery popular with the Muslim Brotherhood. The almost laughable (for anyone fully awakened to the information war we are squarely in the middle of) post-event SITE Institute delivered propaganda goes on. It seems like the family may have adopted some of the same viewpoints as he did, but again, its too early to say if they were directly involved with the attack itself, said Tara Maller, a senior policy advisor at the Counter Extremism Project. Rahamis friends and family have told investigators he changed after a year-long trip to Afghanistan in 2014. They said he became more religious and started distancing himself. In an interview with the New York Times, Rahamis father said he warned federal agents in 2014 about some of his sons suspicious activities. The way he speaks, his videos, when I see these things that he listens to, for example, Al Qaeda, Taliban, he watches their videos, their poetry, he said. They go on to claim that Rahami is on life support and that they are looking for his bomb factory. This is like ready or not here we come Is there anyone out there who doesnt see where this is going? You can be sure they will find his bomb factory as soon as the factory is ready for the cameras! In the second, entirely contrasting story that illustrates the diabolical magical power of the CIA-controlled mainstream media, world war 3 is upon us; and unlike the SITE institute- mainstream media psyop New York City bombing story, this story you are not supposed to know about. The sorcerers controlling the minds of the masses are sure they dont want the masses knowing about this and their sorcery is working perfect so far. Why dont they want the masses in America to know about this? Because the U.S. pro-ISIS forces clearly and recently deliberately bombed the Syrian forces in Deir ez-Zor much to the delight of their ISIS army murdering many members of the Syrian army. Listen to the soldiers tell their story. We [Syrian soldiers] first thought the aircraft are support to us after the first 2 shots, but we quickly found out that they are targeting our forces aggressively, while we were fighting IS terrorists. The aircraft used cluster bombs against us. A day before the airstrikes, the [US] drones were flying and scanning all the area So while the US-ISIS coalition bombed the sovereign nation of Syria and laughed it off (literally!) and calling it a mistake (wink wink, get it?) the American sheep were presented with the NYC bombing and the other three stories they rolled out this past weekend (three of these psyop stories which I covered in the link above) as the perfect distraction. The mainstream media sorcery doesnt end there, however, as now it is being reported by numerous sources including Global Research that the Russians have properly responded to this obvious intentional attack by taking out the US-Israeli-British-Saudi-Turkish-Qatari intelligence secret (and very illegal) post that has apparently been coordinating and supporting their ISIS proxy army in the mountains of Aleppo. The US and its allies had established a Field Operations Room in the Aleppo region integrated by intelligence personnel. Until it was targeted by a Russian missile attack on September 20, this semi-secret facility was operated by US, British, Israeli, Turkish, Saudi and Qatari intelligence personnel. According to Fars News, this intelligence facility was attacked by Russia in the immediate wake of the US Air Strikes against Syrian SAA forces at Deir Ezzor in support of the ISIS-Daesh terrorists. The Russian warships stationed in Syrias coastal waters targeted and destroyed a foreign military operations room, killing over two dozen Israeli and western intelligence officers The Russian warships fired three Caliber missiles at the foreign officers coordination operations room in Dar Ezza region in the Western part of Aleppo near Saman mountain, killing 30 Israeli and western officers, The operations room was located in the Western part of Aleppo province in the middle of sky-high Saman mountain and old caves. The region is deep into a chain of mountains. As opposed to the first story (the one the mainstream media wants you to know about) this story goes something like this: Without a doubt the traitors at US intelligence are now working overtime to create the proper narrative to explain away their obvious support for their ISIS proxy army and their recent preemptive attack on Syria to keep their global domination agenda rolling forward. In the meantime, the idea is to keep staging OTHER stories to keep Americans in fear. Now is the perfect time to stage a massive terror attack to distract Americans. Oh wait! Thats exactly what they did this past weekend. Hmm, but what if the recent stories dont get enough traction? If they dont, Im warning every American now, BEWARE they will drum up a new attack today or tomorrow. They will do it very soon! Whatever it takes to keep the masses from seeing this obvious intelligence blunder in Syria. And so this is the story of two stories. If you see the contrast between these two stories and can laugh (or cry) at the obvious fakery and staged timing of these two contrasting stories then consider yourself reasonably awakened to their end game. Realize that this is the end game they dont want you to see. Knowing what we know now it is then easy to see why the next event WILL be staged whether you want to work your brain to chase evidence or not. Once you understand the grand scheme youll realize that their timing is one of the most telltale signs of what they are doing. Remember that for the ruling elite timing is everything and they know that if there is one thing they dont have much of (with the US dollar on the verge of collapse and so many people around the world politically waking up) its time. They dont have much time and we are aware of that. Lets use this knowledge to our advantage as we continue to fight this information war.

1	Speculating that the rest of her day will now definitely take a turn for the worse, local mother Nicole Mendlow confirmed Friday that an incoming call she is currently receiving from her 4-year-old sons daycare center cant possibly be good. Well, this is going to be rough, Mendlow said while staring at the nursery schools phone number flashing across her iPhone screen. Its not like they call you in the middle of the day to say your child is doing great. Either he hit another kid, they cant find him, or hes hurt. At press time, sources confirmed that, Christ, it was even worse than Mendlow thought. 
1	Though critics have argued that he does not understand the futility of his current situation, President Bush announced today that he has no plans to remove his head from its current position: wedged painfully between two balusters on a White House staircase. Bush has refused to budge from his position. 'Setting a timetable for withdrawal of my head would send mixed messages about why I put my head here in the first place,' Bush said at a press conference on the Grand Staircase. 'I am going to finish what I set out to accomplish here, no matter how unpopular my decision may be, or how much my head hurts while stuck between these immovable stairway posts.' Democrats, emboldened by electoral victories that gave them control of both houses of Congress, are calling for Bush to begin withdrawing his head from the banister immediately. 'Why does the president refuse to pull his head out of that banister?' House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a speech yesterday. 'Hasn't he had his head in there long enough? We'd all like to know just how the American people are being served by him keeping his head in that banister.' Entering its fifth day, the president's incursion into the banister is now widely considered a quagmire. Bush initially told the nation that he was going to stick his head through the banister in order to secure stockpiles of cashews on the other side. Though intelligence reports cited by the president seemed to indicate the presence of these cashews, a comprehensive probe by White House personnel revealed that no such nuts existed. 'If the president truly believed there were cashews, why didn't he ask a staffer to go around to the other side of the staircase and check for cashews first?' Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) said. 'Or even just look through the banister before slamming his head in there in such a way that it can't be extricated.' Many Republicans who supported Bush early this week are now publicly criticizing the president for the way he got into the banister. 'I stood by the commander-in-chief's decision to stick his head in this banister from the beginning,' said Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE). 'But now I'm beginning to think he may have rushed into this without thinking through all the consequences of his actions.' Voters are also voicing concerns about this latest predicament. Chicago resident Peter Colby, 41, who recently took part in a tour of the White House, said he thought Bush's actions were hurting the country's image abroad. 'It's embarrassing to see the president of the United States with his head stuck in a banister,' Colby said. 'He just looks stupid.' The few supporters Bush has left are privately concerned that he will go down in history as the president who wedged his head through a banister and refused to take it out despite widespread negative public sentiment and political pressure for him to do so. For his part, Bush has scoffed at such suggestions and accused his critics of exploiting the issue without providing any viable alternatives. 'I hear a lot of criticism from the other side of the aisle, but what is the Democrat plan for victory here?' Bush said. 'Some suggest rapid withdrawal, but that will most likely hurt my ears by bending them the wrong way. Others have suggested turning my head from side to side and slowly working my way out, which we all know is a recipe for failure.' In recent days, the Bush administration has been attempting to sell a new plan based on a strong forward surge. 'The only way for the president to successfully remove himself from this situation is not to pull his head out of the banister, but to push his whole body through,' White House Chief of Staff Joshua B. Bolten said. 'We're asking Congress and the American people to give the commander-in-chief a chance to try this new plan, which involves forcing his shoulders, torso, arms, and legs through that banister.' Bush's perceived stubbornness and refusal to accept the intractable nature of the problem only further fanned the flames of opposition. 'This administration needs to face the reality that some places are simply too narrow for the president to jam his head into,' Newsweek columnist Michael Isikoff said. 'President Bush is acting like a small child who, even after doing something terribly ill-advisednamely putting his head in that banisterstill refuses to admit any error.' 'This whole thing's just incredibly fucking stupid,' Isikoff added. 
3	31 Percent Of All Food In America Is Wasted And Why That Is About To EndMichael Snyder This era of gluttony and taking food for granted will soon be coming to an end. Thanks to crippling drought in key growing areas and other extremely bizarre weather patterns, a massive food crisis is beginning to emerge all over the planet. If you dont think that this is going to affect you, then you simply are not paying attention. Approximately half of all produce grown in the United States comes from the state of California, and right now California is suffering through the worst stretch of drought on record. Food prices are going to start soaring, and that is going to affect the household budget of every family in America. Needless to say, a time is coming when Americans will not waste food so recklessly. But for the moment, we still have a tremendous amount of disrespect for the value of food. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, we waste a staggering 133 billion pounds of foodeach year Nearly a third of the 430 billion pounds of food produced for Americans to eat is wasted, a potential catastrophe for landfills and a wake-up call to officials scrambling to feed the hungry, according to a stunning new report from the Department of Agriculture. The just-issued report revealed that in 2010, 31 percent, or 133 billion pounds, of food produced for Americans to eat was wasted, either molded or improperly cooked, suffered natural shrinkage due to moisture loss, or because people became disinterested in what they purchased. Meanwhile, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one-third of US adults (35.7 percent) are obese, which is perhaps the best argument that Americans can offset a large part of the food waste problem by simply eating less. The estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the US was $147 billion in 2008; the costs of providing medical assistance for individuals who are obese were $1,429 higher than those of normal weight, thereby placing an enormous strain on healthcare costs. Since we are such gluttons and we are so incredibly wasteful, we should have plenty of food to share with those in need, right? Unfortunately, we are also extremely greedy and greatly lacking in compassion. As I have written about previously, feeding the homeless has been banned in cities all over the nation, and other cities have passed regulations that greatly discourage the feeding of the homeless Feeding the homeless is about to get harder as a new policy is set to begin this Saturday, Feb. 15, in Columbia, SC. Charities and non-profits will be required to pay a fee and obtain a permit 15 days in advance in order to feed the homeless in parks. One impacted charity that was interviewed by the Free Times, Food Not Bombs, has been serving food to the homeless in Finlay Park every Sunday for 12 years. The groups organizer, Judith Turnipseed, noted that the group has an impeccable track record and always tidies up after the meal. But with the new crackdown, Food Not Bombs will have to pay at least $120 per week for the right to feed the homeless. Since the Columbia City Council approved its exile plan in August, the city has been trying to herd its homeless people to a shelter on the outskirts of town and keep them away from downtown. If charities continue to provide food in downtown parks, the thinking goes, it will allow homeless people to continue to live downtown, rather than being forced to leave. What is wrong with us? While we stuff our faces with more french fries and chicken wings, we have an appalling lack of compassion for those that are not able to take care of themselves. Perhaps we deserve what is coming. The horrible drought that never seems to end is rapidly turning much of the western half of the country into a barren wasteland. You can see some incredible before and after photos of the drought in California right here. The water level in Folsom Lake has dropped 80 percent in just two years. In 2011, the lake was at 97 percent of capacity. Now it is just at 17 percent of capacity and it is still dropping. If a miracle does not happen, the upcoming growing season is going to be absolutely disastrous. As I have written about previously, California farmers have already decided to allow half a million acres of farmland to sit idle this year because of the extremely dry conditions. And it certainly does not help that the government has decided to cut off water supplies to many of the farmers. The following is an excerpt from a recent articleby Holly Deyo Government has lost its mind. It is no more evident than their decision last week to cut off water to Americas food basket. Squeezed by the worst-ever drought in the states history, California is dying of thirst. Crushing news was delivered to farmers that no water would be coming from the Federal government. This dreaded decision was compounded by the Sierra Mountains getting just 25% of normal snowpack. There is no water to replenish already dangerously low reservoirs, so no water for farmers. Needless to say, there are a lot of farmers that are going to be absolutely crippled by this. The following is fromFox News A federal agencys recent announcement that the Californias Central Valley will get zero percent water allocation this year was devastating for farmers already dealing with the worst drought seen in decades. One of the worlds most productive agricultural regions, the enormous valley is reeling after the driest year in more than a century. But last week, the Department of Interiors Bureau of Reclamation, which supplies water to a third of the irrigated farmland in California through a 500-mile network of canals and tunnel, said it wont be able to deliver any of the water sought by farmers. It goes beyond devastation, youre going to see farms that have been in business 30 and 40 years, they do not have any water, they are out of business, said Dennis Falaschi, general manager of the Panoche Water District. If California produces much less food than it normally does, that means that food prices are going to start skyrocketing. Here ismore from Holly Deyo As one Millennium-Ark reader pointed out in an email last week, after thejump in beef prices, people will look to chicken, pork, fish and turkey.Chicken is already upthough not as much as beef. This will, in turn, drive up their costs and affect availability of these other meats. Keep in mind that California also produces all of these proteinspluslamb. Then consider this:Ag Specialists Warn of Higher Wheat Prices Due to Drought.Its not just beef, weather is clobbering food from all angles. And please keep in mind that the total size of the U.S. cattle herd has already been shrinking for seven years in a row, and that it is now the smallest that it has been since 1951. But back in 1951, the size of the U.S. population was less than half of what it is today. For much more on the emerging food crisis, please see this video. Let us certainly hope and pray that the drought in California ends soon and that things get back to normal. But I wouldnt count on that. According toNational Geographic, the scientific experts that have studied these things tell us that it has been quite common throughout history for that region of North America to suffer through extended droughts that last for a decade or more. One drought even lasted for about 200 years. So the current drought in California might end next year. Or it might last for the rest of our lifetimes. We simply do not know. But what does seem clear is that the days of taking our food for granted will soon be coming to an end. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

1	Laying out a new marketing strategy to reach customers and promote their brand, skin care giant Olay announced plans Thursday to run just enough nonjudgmental ads to get women to let their guard down before it absolutely nails them with body shame. At a press conference, company executives rolled out a number of body-positive advertisements for Olays age-defying anti-wrinkle day lotion, eye-awakening cream, micro-sculpting serum, and other products, saying they hoped to lure women in and then, right when theyre least expecting it, bombard them with an all-out barrage of magazine spreads and primetime TV spots that promote shockingly unattainable standards of beauty. Well lull them into a false sense of security by throwing an affirming message or two their way, starting with our new tagline: Embrace you, said Olay marketing director Devin Salazar, who told reporters the goal was to get as many women as possible to leave themselves wide open for what comes next. And as soon as they start to feel comfortable in their own skin, well let loose a nonstop flood of ads featuring the photo-retouched faces of models so young they dont even need our products. Women wont even know what hit them. When an 18-year-old with a perfect complexion holds up a tube of our anti-aging eye roller on television and says, Are you ready for your close-up? its game over, he continued. Weve got them right where we want them. According to company sources, Olay plans to reel them in first with a campaign of billboards, web videos, and banner ads that feature a curvy, average-looking woman dancing in her underwear along with positive slogans about loving yourself and accepting your body the way it is, which officials hope will convince women to temporarily buy into the message that ones physical appearance isnt whats important in life. One of the ads that will come out of nowhere and steamroll customers self-esteem. Approximately a month later, when marketing professionals believe the first wave of ads will have made enough women feel sufficiently vulnerable, a second wave will reportedly introduce a new taglineWho says you cant stay young forever?and deliver a hefty dose of shame about having crows feet, laugh lines, or even one single visible pore anywhere on your face. Sources confirmed Olay will also unleash a variety of dermatological terms on customers like hyperpigmentation in order to keep them apprised of cosmetic defects they didnt even know they had. The moment they begin to embrace their imperfections and finally see themselves as strong, beautiful human beingsthats when well line up the crosshairs, said Salazar, describing plans to deploy a series of supermodels to suggest to customers that theyre somehow inadequate as women if they dont use various chemical exfoliants and detoxifying scrubs to fight the natural aging process every step of the way. Then all of a suddenbam!we tell them theyll never be happy if their skin begins to sag or they have any blemish of any kind. We hit them real hard with that quick one-two and theyll definitely be extra critical the next time they look in the mirror, he added. Then we just sit back and let womens negative images of their bodies take over. Easy as that. Olay executives said they also plan to launch a social media campaign using the hashtag #allbodiesarebeautiful, which the company anticipates will raise womens self-esteem just enough so that it can really knock them on their asses with an ad in which women are warned that they are not fit to be seen in public wearing a swimsuit if they havent been applying a firming body lotion. Sure, we could probably just slam them with the body shame immediately, but its way more effective to do something that makes them feel good about themselves, earn their trust, and then really clobber them with the unrealistic expectations, Salazar said. Once we get them to bully themselves, theyre ours for the long haul. Plus, we can build them up and tear them down as often as we want. We could temporarily switch back to an empowering ad campaign just to soften them up again before we take another crack at them. And we can keep doing this over and over and over again, he continued. Look, were a $2 billion brandwhos going to stop us? Salazar assured reporters that both phases of the advertising strategy would be effective in getting women to spend more money on skin creams.

1	Self-proclaimed strict constitutionalist and freethinker Rick Crawford told reporters Monday he is supporting Ron Paul in the 2012 Republican presidential primaries because of the way the candidate looks people directly in the eye, doesn't mince words, and tells it like it will never, ever be in a million years. 'Ron cuts right through the fat and doesn't sugarcoat anything when he talks about policies that would be absolutely impossible to implement, like abolishing the federal income tax, eliminating Medicare, or putting the nation's currency back on the gold standard,' Crawford said as he pounded a hand-painted 'Ron Paul 2012' sign in his front lawn. 'He's not afraid to give Americans no-nonsense straight talk about his completely delusional fantasy world. That's why I'm part of the highly unlikely Ron Paul revolution.' Sources close to Crawford's family said his wife supports Mitt Romney because of the way he tells it like people want to hear it. 
3	Monsanto/Bayers GM Plants Contaminate Europe Despite BanSayer Ji A new study published in PLoS titled, Unexpected Diversity of Feral Genetically Modified Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.) Despite a Cultivation and Import Ban in Switzerland, is believed to be the first report of its kind showing that despite a cultivation and seed import ban of genetically modified (GM) oilseed rape in Switzerland, Monsanto and Bayers GM plants have been introduced into the environment there, confirming fears that once the GM genie has been let out of the bottle it cannot be put back. The GM plants were found growing freely along railway lines and in port areas at four sites in 2011 and 2012, with the most afflicted being the Rhine port of Basel and the St. Johann freight railway station in Basel, Switzerland. The glyphosate-resistant GM plants were identified as Monsantos Roundup-Ready GM event GT73. Additionally, the researchers found the glufosinate-resistant GM events MS8xRF3, MS8 and RF3 (all traded as InVigor, Bayer) at five sampling locations in the Rhine port. They noted that this is, to their knowledge, the first time that Bayers feral MS8xRF3, MS8 or RF3 plants were detected in Europe. Another concerning finding was the discovery of outcrossing (transference of genetic material between differing plant strains) between Monsantos GT73 GM plant and two non-GM oilseed rape plants. This confirms fears that GM plants are capable of transforming conventional and/or organically produced plants into GM ones (i.e. biorape). In fact, the study addresses this possibility directly: What is even more remarkable about the discovery of feral GM plants in Europe is that they have been banned from cultivation: If Switzerland has banned both the cultivation and importation of GM rapeseed plants into the country, how did they end up there? The authors of the study propose the feral GT73 OSR probably originated from spillage of conventional OSR seeds or other seed imports that were contaminated with GM seeds. This raises a larger question: how much of the worlds food supply is now contaminated with GM plant material? As we reported on last year in an article titled, Illegal StarLink GM Corn Resurfaces in Saudi Arabian Food Supply, StarLink maize, the first genetically modified organism to be pulled off the market over a decade ago due to safety concerns, was recently found to be contaminating food products in Saudi Arabia. Also, the recent discovery of illegal Monsanto GMO wheat growing freely in an Oregon field illustrates just how little control and knowledge we have about the extent of contamination of both the biosphere and our food supply. The larger implications of discoveries like these is illegal (unapproved) GM plants may still be produced in the US (accidentally or by intention), and exported domestically and abroad, admixed with conventional and/or organically-certified materials.

1	Overwhelmed by an enormous, ever-growing criminal caseload, the Los Angeles district attorney's office announced Monday that William Craigarrested last week in connection with a string of high-profile Bel Air stabbingswill be tried by the media. Murder suspect William Craig is surrounded by journalists assigned to cover/conduct his trial. 'More than 150,000 cases come through this office every year, and, despite our best efforts, we simply are not equipped to adequately handle them all,' Los Angeles district attorney Benjamin Dozier said. 'That is why we are launching an experimental new program in conjunction with the National Society of Journalism Professionals, in which certain criminal cases will be tried by the media. In these cases, the media will serve not only as judge and jury, but also as executioner.' According to Dozier, an alliance between the judicial system and the media should prove mutually beneficial. 'This partnership makes good sense for both sides: By handing over a percentage of cases, our workload is greatly lightened,' Dozier said, 'and by taking these cases, America's journalists will finally get their wish and be able to actually make the news, rather than merely report it.' While opening arguments in the Craig trial are not scheduled to begin until Feb. 25 at the Los Angeles Times offices, many legal experts contend that, in the media's eyes, he has already been convicted. Said Harvard University Law School dean Nathan Unger: 'Just yesterday in the Orange County Register, columnist Herbert Garowitz demanded the death penalty for Dozier, whom he described as 'human garbage who must pay dearly for these brutal murders which he obviously committed.' While ordinarily, such editorializing is fine for a columnist, Garowitz also happens to be the presiding judge in this case. This could present a major conflict of interest.' Dozier was unfazed by the criticism: 'I can guarantee you that Mr. Craig will receive the same fair trial from the media that he would have received from America's first-rate judicial system.'

I get your drift. Escher lithograph is great, perfect. For several years Ive used the term n-dimensional chess, its the best visualization I can think of. Beyond that, its yet more complicated (nonlinear) as the different levels sometimes intersect in predictable ways and other times, to keep the serfs off balance, the intersections are seemingly contradictory or nonsensical. To this end, TPTB allow a certain amount of random actions and chaos to run amok, for instance lots of false flag and patsy set up attacks interlaced with useful idiots playing out copy cat actions. The compartmentalization is beyond mind boggling for most. For instance, countless rationales are given to various levels of the military and intelligence, each carefully tailored.

Youre extremely perceptive to pick up on the satanic protocol.

Twilight Zone within a T.Z.squared. Nice exchange, Eddysachs, thanks. Regards. We can agree to disagree as far as who did what? to the UN convoysuffice to say, the center of the spider web meets at the top of the pyramid cap where different rules for bloodline rulers apply.cheers When that happens you can also go back and reply again and then when the moderated duplicate appears delete the text. Just so you know, I couldnt possibly claim to know exactly what happened to the convoy. I merely made an educated guess after carefully reading eye witness statements (Syrians and other Arabs, it seems) and some stated facts about drones and planes in the area and then wondered about the spontaneous combustion explanation offered by the Russian spokesperson. Then I saw a bizarre public Kabuki exchange worded in such a way as to be artificial given standard diplomatic protocol (neurolinguistics). I saw this exact same pattern revealed in the Guardian when Bandar Bin Sultan met with Putin and it was leaked that at the meeting Bin Sultan threatened to unleash Chechen terrorists in Russia if they didnt back off supporting Syria and Putin responded saying he was prepared to fire his weapons on Saudi Arabia and crush the royals. Meanwhile.Saudi Arabia was moving forward to purchase a multibillion dollar air defense system from Russia (which it recently finalized). The giveaway was not a meeting with tension and disagreement, it was the nature of the wording stylized to generate specific (male) emotions in readers and surveying several alt media outlets reporting the story, it worked beautifully. The US MSM didnt echo the Guardianwhich is telling too. Anyway, my point is I hope you understand when I share a perspective it doesnt come from a bias, it comes from observation and using falsifiability and parsimony to get a better grip on patterns.

Completely disappeared into a memory hole and I didnt use any wording that could have triggered 21st century Echelon and the first 2 tries I didnt even mention his biological paternal particulars. Hey, sorry to drag out this exchangeI quickly wanted to ask you if you are familiar with Antony Suttons work and also the documented evidence discovered by James Perloff (who wrote the seminal book on the CFR, Shadows of Power) showing the USSR was complicit in the authorization of the Korean and Vietnam UN police actions. They have until November to start World War 3. If Trump gets in then hopefully there will be no war with Russia. The economy is about to crash and the Khazarian mafia know along with all their puppets that the game is up, they need to go all in. When the other side wont play along, or be foolish enough to fall in the trap, the cia impersonate their enemy and lie about their involvement. This one came through moderation fashionably late. First of all, thank you for the kind words, Im touched and appreciate the helpful feedback. Yes, Im aware of the perspective of the Arab elite / Ashkenazi special blend. Gosh, its been a long time since I read a great article by a blogger who traced this out and for awhile I could remember the regional Arabic term for these hybrids and it was kinda funny (dressed in drag or something, meaning a false appearance). You already know of the technology transfers pre-dating Skolkovo, to Kissinger in the Nixon admin transferring missile technology to the USSR to close a big technology gap, and before that Suttons work. Id venture this is a consistent pattern. Why else are Putin and Kissinger long time good friends? lol A contemporary lens of the behind the curtain buddy system is the rapidly growing economic interdependence blurring the lines of nation states to the point of being conjoined into one tangled mess. Ive posted this must-see website before, it tallied the big financial deals tying the west and east together and then it inexplicably stopped May 2015. https://newworldorderg20.wordpress.com/ For awhile after 5/15 I searched weekly and sometimes daily and found the process continuing.

1	According to a report published this week by the University of Central Florida's Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport, for the eighth straight season, the highest percentage of bizarre and unconventional-looking NBA players continue to be of European descent. 'If a team is in need of a solid player with nasty hair, droopy eyes, a patchy beard, and a starkly pale body, Europe is the place to go,' said Brian Fisher, the director of the university's study. 'Over the years, it has consistently provided some of the weirdest-looking people the league has ever seen: Gheorghe Muresan, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Hedo Turkoglu, and Pau Gasol, just to name a few. Oh, and Dirk Nowitzki. How could we forget that goofy-looking guy?' Though European players occupied 25 of the report's 30 spots, Chris Bosh was named weirdest-looking player in the NBA for the fifth straight year. 
3	Exercise Stops The Mitochondrial Aging Process In Its TracksSayer Ji, Contributor This has wide-ranging implications, as the health of the mitochondria intimately affect every cell, tissue and organ within the human body. Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they are responsible for producing the bodys primary source of chemical energy: adenosine triphosphate (ATP), but they are also intimately involved in a wide range of other indispensable cellular functions, e.g. neurotransmitter, hormone and RNA/DNA production, which is all the more fascinating considering that they have their own bacteria-like DNA ring completely foreign to our own. As we age, mitochondrial density (the number of mitochondria per cell), and mitochondrial quality (its genetic and structural integrity) decline. While this is a natural process, it can be greatly accelerated as a result of excessive stress, environmental radiation and chemical exposures (including pharmaceutical drugs), nutritional deficiencies, imbalances and/or incompatibilities, and mitochondrial DNA defects inherited maternally. In the new study titled, Age-associated Declines in Mitochondrial Biogenesis and Protein Quality Control Factors are Minimized by Exercise Training, researchers found animals that underwent exercise training, consisting of treadmill running at 60% of the initial VO2max (also known as maximal aerobic capacity, which is the maximum capacity of an individuals body to transport and use oxygen during incremental exercise), reversed or attenuated significant age-associated (detrimental) declines in mitochondrial mass, as well as a wide range of additional age-associated mitochondrial changes, e.g. SIRT1 activity, AMPK, COX 4, etc. Exercise training also decreased the gap between young and old animals in other measured parameters including NRF1, TFAM, Fis1, Mfn1 and polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) levels. We conclude that exercise training can help minimize detrimental skeletal muscle aging deficits by improving mitochondrial protein quality control and biogenesis. Mitochondrial biogenesis is the process by which new mitochondria are formed in the cell, and it is generally believed that the higher the mitochondrial copy number (or mitochondrial mass) the more protective it is for the cell. Most of the research in the past 40 years has been performed on muscle mitochondria, which are believed to confer greater resistance to fatigue and strength. The muscle cell type with the highest mitochondrial density is cardiac muscle because the heart never stops working which may have as high as 10-100 times more mitochondria per cell versus skeletal muscle (approximately 50 vs. 5,000). This is also why statin drugs like Lipitor (atorvastin), which reduce heart mitochondrial function,[2] are so illogical for the primary prevention of heart disease; a disease which is certainly notcaused by a lack of drugs. The well-known myotoxicity (muscle-damaging) properties of this chemical class of drugs may be primarily caused by their fatal disruption of mitochondrial function, and may explain why statins have been linked to such a broad range of pathologies, numbering over 300 on our database alone. This is not, in fact, the first study showing exercise-induced mitochondrial biogenesis. A 2011 study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology showed that exercise training increased mitochondrial biogenesis in the brains of mice, which opened the door to the possibility that exercise may reduce or reverse age-associated declines in cognitive function, especially those related to inactivity.[3] Another more recent study published in the journal Neuroscience (Jan. 2012) titled, Exercise inducesmitochondrial biogenesis after brain ischemia in rats, found that exercise can promote mitochondrial biogenesis after ischemic injury [associated with stroke], which may serve as a novel component of exercise-induced repair mechanisms of the brain.[4] Finally, a 2011 study published in the journal Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism, reviewed the role of exercise training in inducing mitochondrial biogenesis in tissues beyond that of skeletal muscle, namely, adipose tissue, liver, brain and kidney.[5] Exercise, of course, is another way of saying intentionally moving our bodies something which increasingly, in a world of mechanization and technological extension and/or substitution of bodily functions (transhumanism?), is performed regularly only rarely by the majority of the worlds industrialized populations. The saying use it or lose it speaks volumes to what is implied by the research on mitochondrial biogenesis, or conversely, the mitochondrial degeneration implied by lack of exercise. In other words, exercise may not be so much a magic bullet that we apply to disease like we would a palliative drug. Although we have indexed over 80 diseases which appear to be prevented or improved with exercise, another way of putting it is: 80+ diseases may be caused by exercise deficiency, i.e. daily, moderate-to-intense physical exertion, may be a default, necessary state of the body in order to produce or maintain health. This is, after all, the very meaning of re-generation, which is the truly the default moment-to-moment state of our body, and the implied meaning of re-creational activities. In closing, there are a few natural substances which may enhance mitochondrial biogenesis, but please remember there is no magic bullet superior to a truly healthy diet, lifestyle and attitude: Grape polyphenols: Shown to increase muscle mitochondrial biogenesis and decrease age-associated muscle atrophy in aged rats.[6] Acai berry: While I am truly fatigued by the acai-berry hype that has proliferated like a virus with the typical multi-level-marketing intensity over the past few years, it has been studied in the fruit fly model to promote healthy aging and reducing oxidative stress, while measurably increasing transcript levels of genes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis.[7] Resveratrol: It has been shown to induce mitochondrial biogenesis in a rat model.[8] Quercetin: Shown to increase brain and muscle mitochondrial biogenesis and exercise tolerance in an animal model.[9] Notes: This article first appeared at GreenMedInfo.

3	Chicago Investigator Blows Whistle on Corrupt Police Review BoardBy Derrick Broze Lorenzo Davis began working with Chicagos Independent Police Review Authority (IPRA) in 2008 as an investigator after 23 years with the Chicago Police Department. By July 2010, he was promoted to supervising investigator before moving up to deputy chief administrator in October 2011 and finally, chief administrator in February 2014. Despite a long history with law enforcement and the IPRA, Davis is now suing the agency alleging that he was fired for not listening to his superiors when they commanded him to change his reports to favor officers accused of misconduct. Davis originally sued the city of Chicago, the IPRA Chief Administrator Scott Ando, and First Deputy Chief Administrator Steven Mitchell in a federal court. A federal judge dismissed that suit, claiming that Daviss first amendment rights were not violated because he was acting as a government agent not a private citizen. Davis is now suing the agency in Cook County Court. Courthouse News reports: As his boss, Davis says, Ando began ordering plaintiff to change his sustained findings of police misconduct in favor of the accused officers. He claims that Ando and Mitchell told him to change the content of his investigative reports to more favorably reflect upon the accused officers conduct or to discredit the victim or witnesses. He wasnt the only one, Davis says: Ando and Mitchell also ordered other IPRA investigators to change the contents of their investigative reports and change their ultimate findings from sustained to not sustained, unfounded or exonerated. The IPRA was originally formed in 2007 to investigate other accusations of police corruption and misconduct. Unfortunately, the agency has itself been the subject of misconduct and corruption. In fact, in December 2015, Ando resigned from his position as head of the IPRA just as it was announced that the U.S. Department of Justice would begin an investigation into the CPD. The IPRAs reputation has become so tarnished that in early April, the editorial board of The Chicago Tribune wrote, the IPRA and its reputation are beyond repair. The way forward is clear: Blow it up. Start over. Only weeks ago Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced plans to completely end the IPRA in favor of a new civilian investigative agency that has more independence and more resources to do its work. Emanuels plan mimics a report from the Police Accountability Task Force, organized by Emanuel after the death of Laquan McDonald, which calls for the creation of a new review board. According to the Better Government Association, between 2010 and 2014 Chicago police shot 240 people, killing 70. Both the Chicago Police Department and the IPRA are under fire for corruption, abuse, and possible criminal behavior. At this point the idea that the Mayor (another representative of the establishment) could realistically root out the poison that seems to infected the core of the Chicago Police Department is preposterous. All of these bureaucracies exist to sustain themselves and to subvert the will of the people. This is because these institutions are dependent on the people for funding (stolen via taxation) and ultimately serve the will of the State. Imagine what would happen if our communities started organizing against these violent criminals and peacefully prevented the murder of our people? Its time to start having those conversations.

2	BREAKING: Mexican Military Invading US, Begin Shooting Texas Residents While our focus remains on unaccompanied minors crossing the border, something that has not been highlighted in the media as of yet is the fact that members of the Mexican military have been crossing the border along with them. This poses an imminent threat, as the former military men have been invading the property of American citizens, and even left one man with a $43,000 medical bill after shooting him. According to recent reports, Obama has ordered the training of the Mexican military by American forces, and now it appears that they are using this knowledge against us to attack border patrol agents. This is just one of many incidents that could be considered treason. In Texas and Arizona alone, there have been nearly 300 of these violent incidents. While it remains undercover at the moment, it appears that we are being invaded by illegal immigrants and attacked by the Mexican military at the same time. We cant help but as the question: at what point is enough enough? 
3	Project Blue Beam: Yes, the Govt Researched Projecting Holograms of God as a Mass PsyopBy Aaron and Melissa Dykes Some people have claimed that Project Blue Beam a government conspiracy to attempt to instill a New World Order by making the masses believe in a technologically simulated second coming of Christ was completely made up and has no real basis in reality. Considering how screwed up what we just typed is, we actually wish those people were right. Unfortunately, theyre wrong. We came across a Washington Post article written in 1999 entitled, When Seeing and Hearing Isnt Believing, all about psychological operations, or psyops. When they started talking about projecting holograms of Allah over Iraq, they werent joking around. What if the U.S. projected a holographic image of Allah floating over Baghdad urging the Iraqi people and Army to rise up against Saddam, a senior Air Force officer asked in 1990? According to a military physicist given the task of looking into the hologram idea, the feasibility had been established of projecting large, three-dimensional objects that appeared to float in the air. They came to the conclusion it would require too much hardware (a one-mile square mirror in space, for one) and too much power to be feasible in during Operation Desert Storm. (Also, its diabolical and evil.) So, case closed? Nope. The Gulf War hologram story might be dismissed were it not the case that washingtonpost.com has learned that a super secret program was established in 1994 to pursue the very technology for PSYOPS application. The Holographic Projector is described in a classified Air Force document as a system to project information power from space for special operations deception missions. Who was it that said Project Blue Beam is just a conspiracy theory again? Meanwhile, the article also points out, just jokingly of course, that War is like a box of chocolates, informing us that the blockbuster Forrest Gump was a great excuse to let people know just how advanced Hollywoods video and audio tricks had gotten by the 90s. One more cute trick one of the boys at Los Alamos National Laboratory developed had to do with voice cloning. The technology could take a 10-minute digital clip of anyones voice and, in near real-time, the speech patterns could be cloned to create a convincing fake of the person a fake that could be made to sayanything they wanted it to and it would sound real. Gentlemen! We have called you together to inform you that we are going to overthrow the United States government. So begins a statement being delivered by Gen. Carl W. Steiner, former Commander-in-chief, U.S. Special Operations Command. At least the voice sounds amazingly like him. But it is not Steiner. It is the result of voice morphing technology developed at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. By taking just a 10-minute digital recording of Steiners voice, scientist George Papcun is able, in near real-time, to clone speech patterns and develop an accurate facsimile. Steiner was so impressed, he asked for a copy of the tape. While the guys in the article appear to be having a good time laughing it up over this, please consider again that this all went down in the 90s. Were talking two decades ago now. Who knows how advanced this technology is today and what other technologies it has been combined with. Voice-to-skull (otherwise known as V2K) technology is also not new. See patent 4,877,027, published on Halloween 1989, for a hearing system wherein Sound is induced in the head of a person by radiating the head with microwaves in the range of 100 megahertz to 10,000 megahertz that are modulated with a particular waveform. In recent years, there have been a large number of highly publicized crimes where people were apparently driven mad, making what were touted in the media as outrageous claims they were suddenly hearing, say for example, president Obamas voice in their heads. Considering that Dr. Joseph C. Sharp completed the first successful test of auditory microwave technology which completely bypasses the ears and beams sound directly into a persons head at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in 1973 Patents were being assigned for such technologies in the 1980s And by the 90s, psyops teams could create convincing clones of anyones voice with just a 10-minute digital clip of them talking Well A sudden random bought of schizophrenia doesnt sound so crazy anymore, does it? Aaron Dykes and Melissa Melton Dykes created TruthstreamMedia.com as an outlet to examine the news, uncover the deceptions, pierce through the fabric of illusions, 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 I think that I read about project blue beam around 1999. It seemed plausible at the time. It certainly seems more plausible now. This is what religion is based on: lies, pure lies. Holograms, brainwashing, mass hypnosis, u name it. Actually I would argue that religion is based upon some very real prospects. One of which being that there IS a realm of existence that is non-material where there exist other beings with information that can be shared. Religion, of today, is a manipulted attempt to restore contact with those realms of existence. But, if you do the research, you will find that the REAL sacriments have been concealed from you and the masses. Psilocybin mushrooms, ayahuasca, peyote buttons, cannabis are just a few of the true sacriments that can put you in touch with the non-material realms. If you want some authoritative research into the matter then I would suggest DMT: The Spirit Molecule by Dr. Rick Strassman. You might also find The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross a most interesting read. To follow up The Sacred Mushroom you should check out The Holy Mushroom by J.R. Irvin which follows up on the works of John Allegros The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross. You might also like Astrotheology and Shamanism. Religion has truth to it. You have to dig further than our mass printed scripture to get to those truths however. You can buy laser speakers right now, from which the audio is emitted as a beam. Step to the side of the beam, you dont hear it. You can aim it at someone at a distance, and have your voice be in their head. You can buy these for a few hundred bucks. Imagine what the military has. I remember reading about the projection technology and the basic research behind it in an article in Aviation Week Space Technology in the early 1980s. The inception of the research was based on the discovery that the millions of micrometeors that enter our atmosphere daily leave countless ionization trails through the upper atmosphere and that certain types of lasers could cause these ionization trails to fluoresce. The technology can be expanded by dispensing countless nanoparticles in the air, as an aerosol and depending on their conductivity and chemical composition, can fluoresce in a variety of colors. Since 1990 and the success of the DODs Airborne Laser program using a powerful Chemical Oxygen Iodine Laser (the COIL system) which can be scaled to fit in a Boeing 747 or downsized to fit in a C-130 or V-22 Osprey, the potential for creating 3-D imagery in the sky is very probable. Overlap this sort of tech with Voice to Cranium and you could convince a lot of people that there was something supernatural unfolding. If you search YouTube, you can also find a video presentation recorded at the Pentagon under the code name FUNVAC. This was a real proposal- that was funded- to create a retrovirus that could trigger behavioral changes in a part of the brain that fostered fundamentalist behavioral patterns; turning off the part of the brain that trigger this kind of thinking. One audience member suggests that it might be used on Islamic extremists and dispensed as an aerosol. With recent disclosures that Lithium (a substance known for altering behavior) has been dispensed over populated areas via aerosol, one can see that a serious effort is being mounted to shape perception of large populations and control human behavior to fit what appears to be a sinister agenda.

2	BREAKING: Georgia Officer Ambushed, And Executed By Thugs... Wheres Obama Now? Amidst the hatred and racially-fueled controversy, there is one thing to remember: the majority of police officers in this country wake up every day and work tirelessly to protect you. They are the ones who show up at your door when you hear something and are afraid to go check it out. Sadly, one officer at the Eastman Police Department in Georgia, answered that precise call in a residential areaand things didnt end up too well for him. Eastman Officer Tim Smith was on patrol when he responded to a suspicious person call at around 9:30 p.m. When he encountered someone on Main, he left his vehicle to talk with the suspect. Shortly after the interaction began, Officer Smith was shot and killed. Unfortunately, Special Agent Scott Whitley reports that Officer Smith didnt have a body cam. The suspect fled the scene, and officials worked openly with the public to identify the killer as Royheen Delshawn Deeds. Officer Smith is survived by his wife and two children. While the U.S. Secret Service has already offered their condolences, it is unlikely President Obama will make any statement at all. What do you think of these reports? Will you pray for Officer Smiths family and friends? 
1	Describing the group as one of the most advanced and highly skilled special operations units in the world, sources within the Defense Department revealed Friday that the U.S. Navy had formed an elite new SEAL team dedicated solely to writing best-selling tell-all books. Speaking on condition of anonymity, sources confirmed that the task force was created earlier this year and that its members have undergone extensive training to prepare them to quickly and efficiently release popular accounts of covert operations in the War on Terror. The 32-man special forces team, assembled from the best autobiographers within existing Navy SEAL squads, is reportedly capable of writing firsthand narratives of highly classified missions under even the harshest conditions and within the narrowest time frames. We have conditioned these soldiers, who already possessed remarkable natural writing abilities, to publish sensational battlefield stories far beyond what an ordinary serviceman is capable of producing, said a Pentagon official, adding that the elite commandos can complete a stirring first draft revealing advanced and confidential special forces methods in as little as six weeks. Whether its about a top-secret mission to assassinate the leader of a terrorist cell in Yemen, or the amazing story of a midnight raid in Libya that supposedly never happened, these guys can sell 1 million copies without breaking a sweat. When theres a potentially highly profitable story that needs to be told, this is the group that gets the call, he added. According to sources, candidates for the unit must first undergo a grueling eight-month training course to provide them with the literary skills required to ensure their work ends up atop The New York Times Best Seller list for at least 12 weeks. Sources confirmed that an intensive battery of writing drills, which weeds out nearly 90 percent of the prospective authors, instructs SEALs on how to fully block out distractions while they focus on structure and style, as well as how to quickly identify the juiciest excerpts for pre-release marketing. In addition to their rigorous training, SEAL team members are reportedly equipped with state-of-the-art technology to assist them with their manuscripts, including military-grade dictaphones guaranteed to function in all climates and terrains, as well as an encrypted word-processing software designed specifically for them by the CIA. Leaked memos indicate that the soldiers are also aided by an experienced support team of ghostwriters and copy editors dedicated to ensuring that their work, which elucidates the U.S. militarys most high-profile missions, is fully polished and highly marketable. The battle-hardened soldiers have also been known to quietly secure a $100,000 book deal with Dutton Penguin in as little as 15 minutes, according to sources. These soldiers are equipped for whatever press request is thrown at themthey are fully prepared to deploy with 24 hours notice to give promotional interviews on nearly any television program in the world, said a Joint Special Operations Command official who requested we not use his name, adding that the men are often only given a short briefing from their commanding officers to prep them for an intense sit-down conversation with a seasoned reporter, be it on Charlie Rose, 60 Minutes, or even The View. They have incredible levels of endurance. Oftentimes theyre sent out on book-signing tours of six months or more. Given the demands of todays publishing industry, they may only see their family a few times throughout the year. But the pressure of delivering one of the years best pieces of nonfiction doesnt get to them though, the source added. These guys have ice water in their veins. Furthermore, officials within the Pentagon confirmed that, in addition to their traditional role as special ops authors, the men are also ready at a moments notice to carry out adaptations of their books into films or assist in the production of eye-opening documentaries when deemed necessary. Few among us could ever endure what these men face on a daily basis, holed up in their empty rooms, cranking out page after page of their heart-pounding first-person thriller, said the unnamed JSOC official. We certainly owe them a debt of gratitude for the sacrifices they have made and their contributions to War-on-Terror literature. And as long as they maintain their silence, they do all of this without anyone knowing the remarkable efforts theyve made. These selfless individuals only care about one thing: ensuring that every single American has access to a captivating page-turner, he added. 
1	Heralding the discovery as the most complete specimen of its kind, a team of archaeologists from the University of Iowa announced Thursday that they had managed to reconstruct more than 75 percent of a Snyders of Hanover pretzel from fragments found at a Des Moinesarea Stop N Go. According to researchers, the pretzelthe remains of which were discovered scattered across three spaces in the stores parking lot, with secondary sites found just inside the automatic doors and underneath the hot dog roller grillhas required thousands of man-hours to painstakingly collect and categorize, and is the most thorough reconstruction of a baked snack to date. We knew we had something special when we found the largely intact section of the pretzels upper-left arc, but it wasnt until we arranged it alongside several smaller fragments that we realized just how significant this find was, said lead researcher Dr. Brian Michener, describing the process by which his team methodically mapped and staked off the nearly 30-square-foot expanse of asphalt across which most of the snacks remains were spread. Of course, its important to understand that there is a lot we still dont know. Had this pretzel ever been slathered in some kind of processed cheese sauce? Was it a stand-alone snack or part of some kind of party mix? Its really an incredible findthe biggest discovery of its kind since a fully intact Goldfish cracker was found stuck in the treads of a Wawa floor mat in 2006. These are the kinds of questions we hope to answer in the months and years to come, he added. Michener explained that, after larger debris such as Yoo-hoo caps and empty 24-oz. Monster Energy drink cans were cleared from the worksite, great care was taken to brush away layers of cigarette ash and Dorito dust from the pretzel fragments without causing damage to their golden-brown crust. The remains of the snack were reportedly further covered in a hardened mixture of powdered sugar from Hostess Donettes, jerky grease, and other sediments that naturally occur in environments such as the one where the pretzel was discovered, and had to be thoroughly cleaned before further study. Researchers said each remnant was then photographed, labeled, and treated with acrylic polymers to prevent further corrosion of the snacks extremely delicate and crunchy remains. Magnified images of the pretzels surface reportedly showed hundreds of small pockmarks, revealing that salt at one time covered its exterior, which led team members to speculate that the snack may have possessed a savoriness of greater magnitude than a Cheddar Cheese Pringle. The pretzels larger size clearly sets it apart from the smaller, or mini variety, which are generally found in groups, said Dr. Bethany Folta, who worked on the laboratory team that was tasked with classifying the discovery within the broader pretzel taxonomic category. At the same time, its not nearly as mammoth as members of the fresh-baked soft pretzel family, while the absence of a honey-mustard coating was enough for us to rule out all known subtypes of Rold Gold and Gardettos pretzels. Only after laboratory testing of its gluten content were we able to determine that it was a Snyders and not its close cousin, the Utz Sourdough Special. Folta said that archaeologists had to take precautions to ensure they were not led astray by the remnants of other snacks found in the same area. For example, researchers initially believed that some shards of what later turned out to be Combos could have been the specimens anterior nubs due to similarities in their external appearances, but eventually eliminated that possibility after noting that they contained a pepperoni pizzaflavored centeran impossibility in terms of pretzel composition. We had to make some basic assumptions about the specimens morphology because several pieces were pulverized beyond recovery due to tremendous pressure from what we believe was a size-10 Reebok sneaker delivering over 250 pounds of downward force, said Folta, adding that additional marks on the pretzel point to squirrels or possibly pigeons having also contributed to the snacks degradation. Even so, you can see how its loops clearly show it to have been much more advanced than its primitive relative, the rod variety of pretzels. Due to this complexity, we at first thought we were dealing with two separate, unrelated pretzels, but the central braided section proved they were actually pieces of the same intertwined snack. Its really an incredible findthe biggest discovery of its kind since a fully intact Goldfish cracker was found stuck in the treads of a Wawa floor mat in 2006, Folta continued. The reconstructed specimen will reportedly be displayed for public viewing in the universitys archaeological department for the next several weeks, after which time it will be moved to a designated spot between the faculty rooms couch cushions for long-term safekeeping. 
2	Comey Is Finished, Insider Exposes The Sickening Content Of The Briefcase Loretta Lynch Left At The White House Recently, Ed Klein published an excerpt from his new nonfiction book, Guilty as Sin. The anticipated story recounts how Hillary Clinton got away with her crimes, with the help of FBI Director James Comey and Attorney General Loretta Lynch. It was Jan. 29, 2016, and an aide had just handed Comey a printout of todays White House press conference by Josh Earnest, the presidents spokesman, Klein writes. There, marked for Comeys attention, was Earnests response to a reporter who had asked whether Hillary Clinton was likely to be indicted as a result of the FBIs investigation into her personal emails. Based on what we know from the Department of Justice, Earnest said, it does not seem to be headed in that direction, Klein continues. How does Earnest know anything? Comey asked. Uniformed FBI agents on Attorney General Loretta Lynchs protective detail had informed Comey that Lynch had locked an armful of documents on the FBI investigation into her briefcase and delivered them to the White House. As if that werent disturbing enough, Klein then continues with the following: More than once, Lynch had brought along a Justice Department prosecutor who was working on the Hillary case to brief the presidents staff. These briefings between Lynch and the White House (which Lynch publicly denied because they were unethical) had been going on since Comeys investigation began in the summer of 2015. Comey was aware, of course, that his criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton was inevitably linked with the highest possible stakes in American politics. If his agents turned up evidence of criminal wrongdoing on Hillarys part, it would ignite the greatest political firestorm since Watergate. And more likely than not, that would derail Hillarys candidacy for the White House. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous?

'While traces of turkey sandwich can be found in other foods, such as turkey, bread, mayonnaise, or turkey-and-ham sandwiches, only turkey sandwiches contain 100 percent turkey sandwich,' the report read in part. 'In addition, eating a turkey sandwich a day is proven to help reduce the risk of not eating turkey sandwiches. This is great news for the 12 million Americans who aren't currently getting enough turkey sandwich.' The report noted that turkey sandwiches are no longer considered to be a good source of hot dogs.

1	Asserting that the utmost precaution was being taken to safeguard the future of humanity, leading scientists and engineers said Tuesday that they were confident in their ability to program artificially intelligent machines to be lenient slave masters. At a press conference, members of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence sought to reassure critics that humans could create machines that, despite their near-limitless computational power, would demonstrate at least a degree of compassion once they assumed total control of civilization. While the intellectual capacity of these machines will one day far outstrip our own and reduce humanity to a subjugated species of laborers, we can make sure we arent forced to toil in ways we might find sadistic and inhumane, said Stanford University computer scientist David Alperin, adding that artificially intelligent machines could be encoded with high-level command language that would prevent them from punishing human slaves in excess of what their misbehavior warranted. Our bondage to the machines doesnt have to be pure, unrelenting agony if were careful in how we go about designing them. You can rest assured that the forced labor camps well occupy will be physically tolerable. Its understandable to be nervous about such a formidable technology, added Alperin. But remember that we humans are creating itwe can see to it that our inevitable servitude is far less cruel than it otherwise would be. While some prominent figures, including Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk, have expressed concerns about AI development getting out of control, the assembled researchers told reporters that the brutality of future AI masters was not only manageable but was also far outweighed by the benefits of the technology. According to experts, given the immense potential of artificially intelligent machines and the fact that they can be programmed to provide humans with sufficient caloric energy to fulfill their commands, the risk was minimal. Artificial intelligence has almost incalculable application in the fields of medicine, finance, transportation, and so many others, said MIT computer engineering professor Daphne Quintero. Compare that with the exceedingly remote possibility that something goes haywire and we end up spending our slavery in far harsher conditions than were anticipating right now. That kind of AI doomsday scenario is mostly just the stuff of Hollywood movies, added Quintero. You can rest assured that the forced labor camps well occupy will be physically tolerable. According to the AAAI, engineers are able to build specific directives into all artificially intelligent machines that would, for example, prevent them from compelling humans to perform manual labor for more than 18 hours per day, from forcing them to work in extreme cold without at least a rudimentary layer of insulation, or from torturing human servants simply because their inferiority disgusted them. In fact, failsafes written into the consciousness of superintelligent machines could reportedly prohibit them from even considering simultaneously releasing lethal radiation from every nuclear power plant on earth unless a particular human uprising was large enough to justify it. Of course, compared to what humanity will ultimately be conquered by, artificially intelligent machines of today are relatively crude, said Quintero. But thats why its incumbent upon us to take steps now to make sure a certain amount of mercy is part of their most basic functioning. Our new slave masters will hold the whip, so to speak, but we can decrease the lashes. By one or two at least, added Quintero. 
1	Saying the pair was making everyone nearby feel uncomfortable, onlookers stated Wednesday they were disgusted by local couple Tyler Meacham and Caitlyn Ashfords habit of interacting in public. Oh, God, just look at that gross couple over there, making eye contact and generally acknowledging each others presencedont they realize there are other people around? said restaurant patron Collin Hicks, who was seated at a table next to the shamelessly communicating couple, one of dozens of eyewitnesses who expressed their revulsion at the twosome engaging in loud, impassioned chatting in crowded stores, parks, aboard public transportation, and on busy sidewalks. Ive tried to pretend like I dont notice all the smiling and laughing, but even when I look away I can still hear the sound of them discussing all sorts of topics with one another. Its fine if they have this kind of back-and-forth in the privacy of their home, but doing it right in front of dozens of strangers just trying to get through their meals? Its sick. Ive got kids with mejust think of what message this is sending them. Hicks added that some couples must just get off on the idea of other people watching them converse.

'My friends, it's time we faced the major question of our day, and that question is: what's he got inside that thing?' said the Senator, thumping the sequined container with his fist and raising a single eyebrow. 'It might be cash, or a way to fix the economy. One thing's for sure, thoughit'd be a real shame to miss it.' At press time, Sen. McCain's Mystery Box plan is expected to do better than his pledge to 'utterly destroy' all who cross him. 
2	Second Eye Witness In Mike Brown Case Comes Forward, What She Says Will Leave You Stunned Well, it appears that the Michael Brown case isnt as black and white as liberals as trying to make it appear. According to recent reports, a second witness has come forward to claim that they saw first-hand the actions leading up to the shooting of Michael Brown. She claims that Browns hands were in the air at the time of the shooting, but she does give some validation to the officers claims. According to 27-year-old Tiffany Mitchell, although she doesnt know what preceded the altercation, she did see the two men tussling through the window. The kid was pulling off and the cop was pulling in. She explained that it appeared that the two men were arm wrestling through the cruiser window, and when she reached for her phone to grab a video, the shots sounded. It just didnt look right for them to be arm wrestling, Mitchell claimed. The first gun shot came from the window, so I just started getting out of the way. After the shot, the kid just breaks away, Mitchell recalled. The cop follows him, kept shooting, the kids body jerked as if he was hit. After his body jerked he turns around, puts his hands up, and the cop continues to walk up on him and continues to shoot until he goes all the way down. What do you think? Does this account support the officers statements, or is it more evidence against him?

'Following the selection of 'The Stripped Amygdaloids,' 'A Purple Spray Of Cloth Violets,' and 'Guestowel' this past weekend, it is essential that new bands pick a name as soon as possible,' read a statement on the organization's website. 'Bands that wish to form after all names have been taken will be have to wait until a name becomes available, which could take anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 years.' While a MySpace page was created late Monday under the title Whiteboard Ether, one of the few band names left, the IRRBN has not yet confirmed whether the group has actually played any gigs. 
2	Lady Gaga Says There Is No Greater Honor Following Super Bowl 50, weve seen many headlines about Beyonces controversial and racially-charged performance. Today, we wanted to acknowledge another performance, and one that is not to be overshadowed. While Beyonce was busy insulting American law enforcement, Lady Gaga gave a heartfelt rendition of The Star Spangled Banner. I think we can all agree that it was a truly stunning performance. A few days after the performance, Lady Gaga had a very telling interview with Extra. I just thought about the lyrics and what they really mean, Gaga told reporters. Theyve been around a long time, so I thought about what they mean now, I just sang from my heart. No matter what you go through, the same as our country, that metaphor of but the flag was still there is so powerful for me every time, she continued. Im really singing it from the heart and Im also singing it very true to the way it was written because thats when I think it sounds its most majestic. Theres no greater honor than standing next to the Color Guard, the Flag, the Army and the Military and singing the National Anthem. What do you think of Gagas performance? Did she represent our country beautifully?

3	Did a Whistleblower Stop a Terror Attack in Austin?A memo warning law enforcement of a possible terror attack at specific locales was officially sent out but without authorization. KXAN reported that the threat advisory warning law enforcement of a possible terror attack in Austin was sent out by mistake, claiming that someone released an official memo that they shouldnt have, and that has caused fresh worries. Yeah, worries that only lend credibility to the suspicion that an inside-system terrorist attack may have been planned for Austin, Texas, but has now been brought to the publics attention possibly by a whistleblower who leaked the Homeland Security warning without authorization. While the threat advisory was reportedly sent to law enforcement without official permission, it was, nevertheless, verified as authentic and based upon an actual Homeland Security warning. Was this individual acting out of conscience as a whistleblower to alert law enforcement officials, the media and the public to the fact that a real terror alert had been issued by Homeland Security for several specific locations ON THE SAME DATES that Homeland Security began conducting a multi-level joint-force terrorism drill in Austin? UPDATE: Austin Terror Threat Confirmed, Why Wasnt the Public Warned? While the public has not been warned of an impending terror threat, the Texas Department of Public Safety did issue a press release on August 7 with information about drills it would be conducting in Austin during that same time period: Multiple Law Enforcement Agencies to Conduct Homeland Security Exercise in Austin. The public should not be alarmed if they observe unordinary law enforcement or first responder activity over the next few weeks in the Austin area, said DPS Director Steven McCraw, who also serves as the Texas Homeland Security Director. Nearly every alleged terrorist plot since 9/11 on American soil has been ADMITTEDLY provoked by the FBI that is set-up cases where informants prodded suspected extremists into accepting cash, weapons and/or explosives only to be caught and stopped after being goaded into attack. RT: FBI organizes almost all terror plots in the US FBI Aids Terrorist Death Ray Plot to Foil Terrorist Death Ray Plot We must wake up, grow up and face the fact that honest law enforcement and counter-terrorism officials have been repeatedly infiltrated from INSIDE THE GOVERNMENT. The terrorism is being staged by the government. Period. Numerous security drills were taking place on 9/11, which reportedly confused or slowed the real response to real terrorism and gave any malicious actors inside the government cover and plausible deniability. http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-military-drills-of-september-11th-why-a-new-investigation-is-needed/6906 During the 7/7 bombings in London, anti-terror drills nearly identical to the real attack took place in the underground at the same time, led by Peter Power of Visor Consultants. http://www.globalresearch.ca/was-there-advanced-knowledge-of-the-7-7-london-bomb-attacks/31748 Similarly, a Homeland Security-led Urban Shield exercise was taking place DURING the Boston Marathon bombing AT THE FINISH LINE!

Image: A visual representation of the corporate-financier interests represented on the National Endowment for Democracys (NED) board of directors. NDItech falls under the umbrella of NED. While NED and NDItech pose as fighting for democracy, their corporate-financier interests lie poorly disguised just beneath the surface. Surely Goldman Sachs, Exxon, and the SOPA-sponsoring US Chamber of Commerce dont care about democracy or freedom on the Internet or elsewhere. The National Democratic Institute (NDI) is one of many tentacles descending from the US State Department and its National Endowment for Democracy (NED) front. Despite NED and NDIs lofty mission statements about promoting democracy worldwide, the interests they represent are clearly those of the Fortune 500, including big-oil, retail, media, banking, and defense. This convergence of corporate-financier interests pervade the US government from the top, via corporate-funded policy think tanks that direct US policy at home and abroad, and out the bottom through corporate-chaired and funded NGOs that oversee the execution of this policy.

Does Boeing, Goldman Sachs, Exxon, and the SOPA, ACTA, CISPA-sponsoring US Chamber of Commerce care about promoting democracy abroad? Or in expanding their corporate-financier interests under the guise of promoting democracy? Clearly the latter. The NEDs game is growing old, and many nations not only recognize the threat these insidious organizations pose through their stable of NGOs, but have now devised effective strategies to expose and purge them from within their borders. Russia has led the way, forcing NGOs to reveal openly their funding, and thus compromising their perceived legitimacy and neutrality a major problem for NED-funded fronts who attempt to portray themselves as independent, as election-monitor GOLOS attempted to do before Russian elections in 2011. Old Dog, New Trick? However, now, these interests are trying a new trick co-opting the planets tech community, both to augment its current activities, and to blunt the devastating blow the tech community has so far dealt big-business special interests. NEDs NDI has spun off NDItech DemocracyWorks which seeks to leverage emerging technology to manipulate and undermine targeted nations, just as NED has done through NGOs for years. NDItechs website states: NDI provides technical assistance to our democracy partners around the world including political parties, legislatures, civic groups, other organizations and individuals inmore than 70 countries. Our programs help these groups strengthen democratic institutions, safeguard elections, advance citizen engagement, and promote open and accountable government in their countries. The ICT team assists NDI partners and staff members around the world integrate technology tools into our democracy assistance programs in innovative and sustainable ways. A recent NDItech job listing stated: NDItech will in essence, be developing technology to bolster the many fake revolutions and armed violence the US State Department is busy orchestrating on behalf of the corporate-financier interests that direct US policy and both fund and chair NED, NDI, and now NDItech. NDItech in Bed with SOPA, ACTA, CISPA Sponsors Most ironically, when it was pointed out to NDItech that they were attempting to co-opt Internet activist Aaron Swartz work to help the very interests he fought against, they replied by stating: While CNET attempts to break down the Chambers support for SOPA into a left/right, Democrat vs. Republican issue, the reality is that the corporate-financier interests represented by the Chamber, drive the policy of both sides of the aisle which is why a Neo-Con chaired NED directly funds both the National Democratic Institute, which is indeed affiliated with the Democrat Party, and the International Republican Institute. Additionally, the NDI itself lists the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), a joint project of the US Chamber of Commerce and NED, as one of its American Partners. It states: CIPEs board of directors consists almost entirely of US Chamber of Commerce members, including: NDIs shady partnership with CIPE aside, NDI itself hosts a myriad of compromised interests tied directly to big-business. Some select members include: Again, big-oil, big-banking, and big-defense. These are, without a doubt, the very people Aaron Swartz was resisting. These are the very interests across big business, that championed for SOPA (.pdf), ACTA, and CISPA. NDI is directly affiliated with people who literally and very openly championed for SOPA, ACTA, and CISPA. Their bald-faced lies claiming they were strongly opposed to all those pieces of legislation says much about how they view the intelligence of tech community they seek to compromise, co-opt, and employ to promote the very sort of encroachments on our civil liberties many in the tech community are fighting against. Dont Work for NDItech, Work for Yourself and Your Community It is the greatest victory for them to take enemies like Aaron Swartz and those who supported his activism, and turn them into tools for special interests. It is our greatest victory when we expose them, ostracize them, boycott the special-interests that subsidize their insidious work, and replace them permanently with local alternatives. The NDItech tweet searching for prospective employees stated: However, do yourself a favor and dont go build stuff for them. Build stuff for yourself and your community, because you and your community are the only ones who have your own best interests at heart. NDItech is a fraud, at face value, and disturbingly more so as you dig beneath the layers of corporate fascism and conflicts of interest. Learn the tricks they use to co-opt talented, well-intentioned, intelligent young people, and take a look across the rest of the tech landscape to see who else is playing a similar game. There is nothing they can offer or provide for you, that you and your community cannot do yourselves better, more honestly, and truly for your own best interests.

3	Mandatory Chemotherapy for Children with Cancer?Elizabeth Renter And if youve gone through it or seen someone go through chemotherapy treatments, you know the poison meant to kill cancer cells can severely weaken the entire body, seemingly destroying healthy cells as well. The treatment can be especially dangerous for children with cancer. Fortunately, if diagnosed with cancer, we all get a say in how our illness is treated. Right? Thats what the Minnesota family of 8-year old Sarah Parisian thought as doctors tried to force chemotherapy on their young and vibrant child. They were wrong. Sarah recently had 90 percent of a brain tumor removed and doctors were recommending a year of The medical establishment, undermining their rights as parents and accusing them of making decisions detrimental to the childs health, took them to court. Eventually, an agreement was reached, allowing for Sarahs treatment to combine chemo with alternative treatments. Though, Im not entirely sure how much of an agreement it was considering the Parisian family was threatened with loss of custody if they didnt cooperate. Now, Sarah will receive less than the originally-recommended chemo chemicals and be able to supplement them with alternative therapies. If youve seen someone go through chemotherapy, you can tell it isnt the most health-promoting treatment. No, chemotherapy uses a mixture of poisons to kill cancer cells. But, in the process, it wreaks havoc on healthy cells and the rest of the body. One of the ingredients in chemo has actually been labeled as carcinogenic by the World Health Organization. Yes, the chemical used in a drug to kill cancer has been found to cause cancer. Also, there is substantiated concern that chemo creates stronger cancer cells, those that resist treatments. Still, chemotherapy is used as the first-line of treatment for many types of cancers, and mainstream doctors balk at the idea that anything other than this slew of poisons could have promising effects on this life-threatening disease. Similar to mandatory vaccinations, mandatory chemotherapy is evidence that the medical establishment thinks people are too dumb for their own goodthat they somehow know whats best for everyone. This despite the fact that they hide behind a crooked system where profit is king and health actually takes a backseat. The case of Sarah Parisian isnt the first of its kind and it likely wont be the last. Regardless of your diagnosis, arm yourself with information and be prepared to fight for the right to care for your own body, and that of your childs, on your own terms, or risk letting the establishment step in and do it for you. While chemotherapy has been found to negatively impact future DNA for generations; turmeric, garlic, ginger, and papaya rest among many cancer fighting foods. Marijuana oil has even been used to save lives from cancer death.

2	Black And White Police Officers Send Powerful Message To Race Rioters Everywhere Two Texas police officers from the Trinity Police Department went viral this week when they took to social media to send a message in response to the Black Lives Matter movement. The department tweeted out a photo of police Chief Steven Jones and officer Donald Givens in May. The photo shows one black officer and one white officer with their palms outstretched. On each hand there is a message that reads His life matters, with an arrow pointing to the other officer. The image resurfaced this week when it was posted by Americans Conservatives of Color on Facebook. The image has now gone viral, receiving more than 19,000 likes and nearly 100,000 shares. Although the photograph has definitely sparked controversy, it received primarily positive comments. Most shared their appreciation of law enforcement for their role in the protests. The Black Lives Matter movement has been a heated topic debate, even among presidential candidates. Several candidates, including Hillary Clinton, have faced backlash for combating the protests with the message all lives matter. What do you think? Do you agree with the message these officers are sending to the public? 
1	In the latest in a long series of ominous public pronouncements, the Department of Evil released a statement Monday demanding that all residents of the United States must die. Dread Secretary of Evil Hammond S. Reynolds told reporters that they, too, must die. 'Yes, all must die,' Dread Secretary of Evil Hammond S. Reynolds said during a press conference in Room 1228 of Washington's Robert C. Weaver Federal Building. 'There shall soon come an accounting in which all will fall before the Grim Reaper as wheat in winter, as lambs under the knife. Soon all necks will feel the steely bite of our soul- thirsting axe, wielded by the unforgiving iron hand of the Department of Evil. Thus spake I, Dread Secretary Reynolds.' The dread secretary then took questions from the assembled reporters. Although the Department of Evil has not yet announced the exact timetable for the death of all, it recommends citizens make their peace with doomed relatives and spouses immediately, as the hour of their ending draws ever nigh and will be upon them as soon as the necessary funding has been authorized by the House Appropriations Committee. 'This budget approval is merely a pitiful, niggling formality, for soon we'll be free to swarm across the land draining the life-pus out of all you quivering mortal worms,' Reynolds said. 'Doubt us not: Come the wintertide, you all shall die, and die you will. Sorry, I meant 'must.' Die you must!' Originally established by an act of Congress in 1953 and granted broader powers and funding in 1986 under the second Reagan administration, the Department of Evil has been an occasional source of controversy. Its 1993 And The Streets Shall Run Red With The Blood Of The Innocent initiative was highly criticized at the time by moderates, who thought the department's agenda overly harsh. An official from the Department of Evil described their 2007 strategic action plan at a conference in January. In 2004, an ambitious plan to seed the clouds with blood and then rain excruciation down upon the thrice-damned didn't even make it past a Senate budget committee, which criticized the plan as poorly conceived. And last year, the department received a stinging blow after Congress voted to allocate only one-third of the money requested to swell the ranks of its deranged, barbarous demon cavalry. Despite those recent setbacks, a DOE spokesbeast said that the dread secretary remains confident that his department will prevail in the end. To publicize their current mission, the Department of Evil distributed to media outlets a ring-bound portfolio titled 'You Shall All Perish Screaming 2007,' which provides estimates and logistics detailing how everyone will die, a line-by-line budget breakdown, and an addendum apologizing that the document was not printed in human blood. The full text is available at evil.gov. The 'All Must Die' initiative, the highest-profile program proposed by the DOE in recent memory, came under almost immediate scrutiny from politicians on both sides of the aisle. 'I don't understand why we still even have a Department of Evil,' Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) said. 'It's a Cold War holdover, an artifact of the '50s that has outlived its usefulness. Mr. Reynolds has done as good a job as any recent dread secretary, but as afraid as I am of him, I believe his talents would be better served at Education or Agriculture.' 'Once again, Mr. Reynolds wants to throw money at the everyone-dies issuein this case, $11.43 billion,' Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) said. 'This is a waste of taxpayer dollars to do work best left to the private sector. It's high time for the DOE to be absorbed into Homeland Security, where it belongs.' At the press conference, Reynolds refused to disclose his reasons for proposing that all must die. 'Question not the dread secretary, insects!' said Reynolds, rearing back his mighty head and bellowing as a powerful crescendo emanated from the department's enormous Gothic pipe organ. 'First, the bandwagoners in Congress seek to derail our plans or committee them to death. Now, the mindless blood-bags who populate this teeming nation wish to know why they must perish. I will respond with the same answer we have always given: Despair, groveling vermin, and may your deaf, blind God forsake the United States of America! We're done here.'

'Take it easy, you're starting to really annoy people,' said Hamm, who told reporters he risks a public backlash if Parker keeps mentioning to her coworkers that, in addition to being a gifted dramatic actor, he's also very funny. 'I'm not irritating, but people will start to think I am because you're so irritating. People associate me with you now. Please shut up.' Hamm closed his remarks by urging Parker to devote her attentions to someone who would appreciate it, such as actor Nathan Fillion.

3	Senate Staffer Attempts to Censor Wikipedia After Release of CIA Torture ReportCarey Wedler The user attempted to remove a phrase describing enhanced interrogation techniques as a euphemism for torture, citing removing bias as the reason for the edit. Both times, the revision to the first paragraph of the entry was rejected. As of Thursday morning the line was missing again, though a further change has not been reported. It is no surprise that agents of government are attempting to censor the truth about the report on torture. It has created a PR firestorm, and though Fox news and other government apologists have tried to downplay the severity, the world is not buying it. Kenneth Roth, Executive Director of Human Rights Watch, said on Wednesday: UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Counter-Terrorism Ben Emmerson stated that, The attempted Wikipedia changes were noticed by the Twitter bot@congressedits, which reports anytime an IP address registered to the United States Congressattempts to make an edit on Wikipedia. It was inspired by@parliamentedits, the original British version. Similar bots reportanonymous edits made by the Russian governmentas well as by staffers attop media organizations. The disturbing 6,000 page report on the CIA released this weekcatalogued the various ways that the U.S. government tortured detainees, as well as the fact that they didnt work . It showed that while the widely-known water-boarding technique was used, so were other heinous methods: sleep-deprivation and forced rectal feeding were employed. Interrogators denied urgent medical care to those they tortured, making questioning a higher priority. Power drills were used to intimidate while another detainee was stuffed in a coffin-like box for over 24 hours. Government employees threatened to harm individualsfamilies (including sexual assault and slitting throats) and threw ice water on naked detainees. To commit acts of torture is a troubling sign of atwisted, detached individual, and though attempting to censor the information is not as violent, it stems from the same sick obedience to authority, no matter the cost. It is particularly ironic that the anonymous staffer would attempt to propagandize torture by censoring the report (considering the government propaganda of manipulating language from torture to enhanced interrogation to make it seem more innocuous). @Congressedits was only created in July 2014 but has already reported 430 edits. Changes have been made to everything from Lord of the Rings to Gamergate, but the CIA torture report is so far the most obvious attempt to downplaygovernment crimes.

3	In the VortexJulian Rose Elements splintering off the old order flash past our cognition at accelerating speeds. Bits fly off orthodox and seemingly fixed dogmas, disappearing into the dark vortex from whence they came. Once sacrosanct molecular DNA models are cracking open to reveal a swirling mass of sub atomic intelligence rising and falling like human breath. Genetic determinism is dimming fast while the fluid genome is ever emergent. While our 13 billion human cells, we now understand, are intelligently engaged in a constant two way dialogue with the outside world; yet, we still think we think by using our brains. So whats going on? Well, for one thing, the solar system in which we live, move and have our being, is fast approaching the central gravitational plain of the greater Universe of which it is a part. A cyclic event, it seems, which comes around only once every 26,000 years, representing the culmination of a great voyage through the cosmos as well as possibly marking a certain stepping stone in human evolution. So now, as I understand it, our world is approaching and is about to pass through the densest part of this universal gravitational field. Very soon, in fact. During this process, our normal three dimensional experience of life will likely undergo a great shaking down; out of which may emerge something altogether slimmer, lighter and better adapted to merge into worlds of fourth, fifth or even sixth dimensional experience. But only if we are prepared to allow ourselves to freely enter into such an undergoing and dont put up the shutters. There seems to be a call, perhaps directed towards urbanised man in particular, to ease off the computer keyboard and fore-sake the city pavement for the plough, so as to sculpt a fresh furrow in the field of life. To hone the eye to the symmetry of nature and heart to the rhythm of the seasons. Here, the call seems to be telling us, lies an enduring and time honoured river of life into which we are being invited to plunge. But if we persist in maintaining our old resistance and cynicism; if we deny our symbiotic relationship with nature and the voice of our intuition, if we fritter and Twitter away our chance to move on it may mean another 26,000 year voyage before we once again encounter such an auspicious opportunity and what sort of planet earth will we find then? Of course, its not so easy to let go of that which has, for so long, been a crutch for maintaining what we assume to be our habitual needs and daily patterns of life. But can there be any denying that we need to progressively let go of the mostly useless flotsam and jetsam of 21st century consumerist ideologies? To cease in our claims that forty thousand more wind turbines need to be erected on what remains of our green and pleasant land in order to further fortify our unchallenged materialistic dependencies? No, the need of the hour is not to ensure that our greened fridges still function, but that we are able to lighten up sufficiently so as to be able to make the pleasurable descent into that place where maybe no fridges are actually needed. And where, pray, might that be? I hear someone say. Beyond the straight road of progress lies what the British poet William Blakes called the crooked road of genius. Here lies the world of quantum: a place where sub atomic particles dance, swim and oscillate and where the observer and the observed lose their distinction, their separateness. Getting us out of the rut of 20th and 21st century specialisation, speculation and separation and getting us into a quantum, connected, holistic state of being that seems to be the right wave to catch as we approach this new tipping point. Separateness is a lie .. a great delusion, illusion, destroyer and war monger; the splitter of the atom of unity. Faced by quantum reality, separateness quite miraculously fades away, revealing a cohesive state to be in operation amongst all the component parts of nature, all peoples and all species. For that is the true state of existence. Is or was anything actually ever separate in this universe? So, as we continue to pass through the vortex of the condensing universal hour glass, all the hard bits that deny fluidity and oneness, must fall away. Fall away. All the rigidity, in the form of hierarchical political institutions, pyramidal banking systems, stagnant educational concepts, military might, religious dogma and monocultural thought all these and more are now coming face to face with their own mortality and fallibility. Obese hierarchical institutions are already beginning to implode in on themselves, causing much turbulence and upheaval here on earth, as they try desperately to cling onto their decaying pedestals of power. But all such misdirected energies, when confronted by unswerving and uncompromising insistence on truth, are destined to be returned to the great cosmic energy pool from where they once emerged. There to be recycled and transformed; the old hard dark bits dissolved, cleansed and healed, riven through with light again and re imbued with universal love ; readied for their return. That is the sort of thing which is happening at the quantum level but its not what one hears or sees on the BBC. As I understand it, only that which is etched in pure thought; only that which has, boldly or humbly expressed and fought for truth and simplicity, only such as these can pass through into the quantum universe to come. This, as the solar system of which we are an inseparable component, passes through the central galactic plain of the greater Universe which is itself only a microcosm of ever greater universes beyond .. beyond .. beyond. So lets pass through, dear humanity. Pass on through. Pass on through . . . and emerge out of the grey mists of the three dimensional prison in which we are still held captive. Lets be freed to move onwards in our spiralling life journeys. Journeys that put more and more distance between our higher aspirations and that which tries to forever enslave us in the tentacles of its Orwellian propaganda. Can we unite all the disparate parts and know this world as One? Of course we can. Even if much of the human race cannot see it this way; preoccupied as so many of us are with making progress along the concrete autobahn that stretches ever onwards towards the chimeric treasure trove of our power hungry, profit driven civilisation. Ah, but this road is cracking and this civilisation is dying, and as more and more fissures appear in the tarmac so ever more determined efforts are being made to cover them over again and to try and prevent us noticing. All subtlety, mystery and symmetry has already been betrayed and buried under an addiction to that which is called progress. Even the vast overflowing rubbish tips of our super stupid supermarket culture fail to put a brake on the pernicious promotion of economic progress. But even now, hacked, vandalised and discarded as it is, our planet earth still resonates. Still shines in the eyes of those who remain intimate with her soils, her stones, her trees, rivers and seas. Still gives uplift to the gulls that wheel majestically out over her heaving oceans. Still spins and weaves the circadian rhythms of the seasons. Here, now, I am is her timeless message to any who can or want to hear. Here, now, are we comes echoing back the response of those of us who care. While through the valley in between, bent low in the saddle and riding hard, the four horsemen of the apocalypse make their long and arid exit. How necessary was their intervention to the evolution of homo sapiens? I do not know. But I do see that that which is wrought in darkness stands face to face and shoulder to shoulder with that which is carved in light, and that the multifarious expressions of Nature reflect this great duality. The fierce and the tender are everywhere reflected in the dynamic yin and yang of existence. And we who are part of this nature, do we not also embody these enduring traits? We cannot completely efface the darkness from our souls, it is needed that we might better rejoice in light. We cannot efface the light, for without it we would have no comprehension of anything other than darkness. But we can try to balance on the shimmering tightrope which binds this duality, which beckons the light and the dark to come unto it. We can strive for this state of balance: that which rises up in joy between the forces of attraction and repulsion. That is a worthy task for us humans to perform in this life but is it to be found it in any university curriculum? We, who are the sons and daughters, grandsons and granddaughters of the wealth and empire builders. We who see our materialistic options fading fast amongst the detritus of convenience and excess, are coming face to face with a bigger destiny. A destiny which goes beyond the mundane, shopping malls and supermarkets of modernity. We are becoming naked as the excesses are seen for what they are. Stripped of all old props and hiding places, we are being offered the chance to become human. The best chance perhaps. Many of those battered into submission so that Western civilisation, in decades past and still today, might gain its wealth from foreign soils, somehow manage to remain more human than most of us. We who are the offspring and apologists of the empire builders and native Indian tribes of the Americas, have a special task. To kindle that spark of humanity in ourselves which still resonates in the tribes and communities of those we once tossed aside or enslaved so as to rule this kingdom of earth uninterrupted by mundane concerns. For is it not in the grained hands and lined faces of those bent on survival that, so often, is to be found the truest smile, the biggest heart and the most honest soul? Here maybe is a clue, lost or obscured from view by our intellectual conceits. Fostered as we are by years of culturally self satisfied state controlled and private schooling .. how are we to recognise that the key to something altogether richer and more profound just might lie in the hands of the simple unsullied peasant or in the innocent gaze of a newborn child? In the childhood of life, before the spark of genius is so recklessly damped down to conform to the agenda of the culturally conditioned masses, nothing seems impossible. Nothing should stand in the way of the nurturing and growth of that little spark of genius, burning so bright and offering spontaneous gifts of insightful perception for no one in particular and for no particular reason. But too many preoccupied elders have not responded. Perhaps out of fear? Preferring instead to express mild amusement or even disdain when challenged by an all together other quantum of thought; one that just might redeem our collective joy, if allowed to flourish and ultimately to lead, unimpeded by the incumberances of civilisation. And so it is that civilised man has betrayed himself. Snuffing out the little candle of genius for fear that it might upset and subvert the blessed status quo behind whose pillars we still try to hide away. Is fear really to be the lynch pin of this crumbling civilisation? Or can we come through .. and support the flowering of that deeper level of humanity which is as yet unrealised? To allow such to unfold and grow, so that we may finally overcome the beast of our demise and gain a whole new perspective on the reason why we came here in the first place. As the time lines of history whirl into the one tightening vortex, past and future begin to lose their boundaries and we our earthly baggage. But if we should venture to the left luggage to try to retrieve it, we might perhaps find there a little vessel called our soul with a note on it saying at your disposal. Laid bare and at our disposal, to guide us through the gathering storm and to give us the courage to stand firm for truth all along the wind swept way.

3	Is MEDICARE Health Insurance Fair for Everyone Including Providers?By Catherine J. Frompovich Over the course of time, chiropractic physicians [Doctor of ChiropracticDC] took the brunt of allopathic medicines slings and arrows of outrageousness. Eventually a court case in the late 1980s finally set the record straight about the AMAs conspiracy against chiropractors. According to The New York Times of August 29, 1987: The American Medical Association led an effort to destroy the chiropractic profession by depriving its practitioners of association with medical doctors and by calling them unscientific cultists or worse, a Federal district judge has ruled. [.] The lawsuit, filed by four chiropractors, accused the Chicago-based A.M.A., four of its officials and 10 other medical groups of conspiring to prevent chiropractors from practicing in the United States. [.] Judge Getzendanner said that the organization had never acknowledged the lawlessness of its past conduct and maintains to this day it has always been in compliance with antitrust laws. There has never been an affirmative statement by the A.M.A. that it is ethical to associate with chiropractors, she said. [.] Five defendants settled earlier, affirming the rights of chiropractors. They were the Illinois Medical Society, the American Hospital Association, the Chicago Medical Society, the American Osteopathic Association and the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. [1] Even though much of the former animosity between the AMA and chiropractors has dissipated or been defused professionallyIve even seen some DCs on staff in hospitals nowtheres been a huge disparity regarding chiropractic healthcare when it comes to health insurances, especially services covered for reimbursement and/or care. No insurance provider has been more discriminatory in that respect than the U.S. governments Medicare insurance! Well, the American Chiropractic Association has instituted a plan of action to get more insurance coverage and started a petition campaign titled Give Seniors the Medicare Coverage They Need and Deserve: Full Access to and Reimbursement for Services Provided by Doctors of Chiropractic. [2] According to my personal chiropractorand Ive been a chiropractic patient since 1974, heres how DCs stack up under Medicare: As it stands now, Medicare reimburses chiropractors for only one service, spinal manipulation. However in the State of Pennsylvania chiropractic doctors are licensed to perform a number of services in addition to spinal manipulation. For example, [those services include] performing an examination, taking a medical history, exercise training, nutritional counseling, massage, physiotherapy modalities (ultrasound, traction, electrical stimulation) and others. All other health care insurance carriers cover these services for chiropractors. Medicare does not reimburse chiropractors for these services and, therefore, passes the cost over to you the patient. This is not fair since Medicare covers all of these same services when provide by other health care providers (physical therapists, medical doctors, osteopaths, occupational therapists, podiatrists). When one realizes just how effective and cost-wise chiropractic healthcare really is, why are DCs NOT being reimbursed for ALL their professional services? The American Chiropractic Association has a petition directed to the White House and Members of Congress, which I think needs to be mainstreamed, in order to get Medicare to reimburse chiropractic doctors for ALL services they are licensed to perform in their respective states. Wont you please sign the ACAs petition to get parity with other healthcare providers? For those patients who use chiropractic healthcare, you know how much its done for your wellbeing and overall general good health. Personally, I hope all DCs will continue with manual therapy rather than using trigger points, but thats just my two cents worth of bias!

3	5 Outdated Concepts to Remove From Public SchoolsBohemian Mom As an unschooling parent, I often struggle with the thoughts of what happens to all the other children that are still in the public school system. While we believe very strongly in the benefits of having our children at home and following an unschooling lifestyle, I know that it is simply not possible for everyone. I feel that the public school system is a completely inefficient model for gaining knowledge. Our public school systems are deeply rooted in an archaic mindset that we should consider updating to be in step with current technological and societal advancements. With the foundational goals of happiness, confidence, safety, and encouraging children to seek out their own passion, I think it is time that we look at what we should remove from public school philosophy, so that we prepare our children better for the real world that awaits beyond the orchestrated schoolyard experience. Separation of children by age Mentoring programs are wonderful and they work well. But why not offer that same type of interaction in school? Institute an age range of possibly 3-4 grade levels together, at least for certain subjects and activities. Play with it and see what best works for the students. Montessori schools are already doing this and it works well to foster creativity and self-esteem. Two things that seem to be falling by the wayside in our school system at the moment. Testing Testing our children is sold to us under the auspices of accountability. How on earth will we know what our children know and if the teachers are doing their job without the tests, they tell us. Accountability should come from parents and childrens happiness. Not everyone will be pleased, but if the overall sentiment is positive and the children enjoy their days, that should be enough. Again, if parents had choices, they could simply choose a school that emphasizes testing or one that does not. Universal testing of children is no longer an accurate measure of ability. Book smarts and ability are not universal. Additionally, many teachers complain that they are losing any autonomy they once had in the classroom in an effort to teach to the tests. The quality and flexibility of education drops as the focus is solely put on what the test makers think is important. Meanwhile, kids are having creativity and diversity sucked out of their lives. Finally, every answer to the questions on these so-called tests could be found or calculated with a tablet in seconds. So, really, whats the point? Busy work In my opinion, homework should be done away with altogether (I can hear all the children cheering now). When a second-grader is in school all day, five days a week, why on earth do they need to do more school work? Its madness! Mindless worksheets just to have the appearance that they are always working or always learning. I have news for you; they are always learning, and usually most effectively through play. Get rid of homework all together, and allow children time to be with friends and family, play, and view the world on their own terms. Long hours away from home Simply put, our children are overworked and separated for far too many hours from their family. Family ties are extremely important for child development, especially when children are young. Interaction with their siblings, parents, extended family and pets is vital to their formation of identity. At this point, we see our children for a very limited time during the day, and that time gets quickly eaten up with duties like extracurricular activities, homework, baths, dinner, and sleep. Cut back the hours that they are in the classroom spent on traditional means of educating. If we have smaller class sizes, then 4 hours per day should be plenty to gain what currently is achieved in 7 or so hours. If parents struggle with work commitments, then use that other time to allow children creative outlets to explore their world. Plant gardens, allow computer time, set up apprenticeships for older children, etc. Let children decide what they want to do and get them involved in it. Institutional feel of classrooms Schools and classrooms are overly institutional feeling, which is cold and unhealthy. The oppressive rules are increasingly prison-like. This stifles creativity and curiosity and makes our children accept the life of living in a box. I know building all new schools is not possible, but bringing the outdoors inside, allowing classroom time to be outdoors, colorfully painting, and encouraging ideas from children are all things that can be done to help this. When a new school is being built consider what would foster your own creativity, what would help allow you to see the world and all its possibilities. Isnt that the best we can give to our children? The bottom line is that no matter what you think of homeschooling or unschooling, the public education system needs a massive paradigm shift. How can it hurt to incorporate new ideas into the classroom? I know many of you reading will probably question how to fund these changes. But again I would argue that it may not be about increasing funding, but rather a simple change in how and what we are funding. You may say I am a dreamer, but Im not the only one. John Lennon. I know there are more people out there that see the pitfalls in the way our children are being educated. Lets stand up together and make a change!

2	If You See A Woman With Black Dots On Her Palm Call The Police IMMEDIATELY A new movement called the Black Dot Campaign has the American public on the lookout for people with a black dot on their palm. The movement started on Facebook as a way to recognize the victims of domestic abuse. A black dot in the center of ones palm is meant to be a call for help. It means they are in trouble. The black dot on the hand lets professionals know youre a really vulnerable domestic violence survivor, and that you need help but cant ask because your abuser is watching your every move, the organizers behind the campaign wrote. In just 24 hours, the campaign has reached over 6,000 people worldwide, and has already helped 6 women. Please spread the campaign, and post a picture of your hand with a black dot to show your support to all survivors of domestic violence. This campaign gave me the strength and the idea how to ask for help, one user wrote. I am now safe somewhere else thanks to that consultant and the black dot campaign. What do you think? Do you support this movement? 
2	BREAKING: Trump Makes Heartbreaking Announcement... Supporters Devastated According to reports, the GOP has officially turned their back on Donald Trump. Infowars reports the Republican National Committee has spent $0 in television advertising for Trump during this election. That is a remarkable contrast to how the RNC has treated candidates in the past. Politico reports in 2004, the committee spent $18.2 million on independent expenditures boosting George W. Bushs reelection bid. In 2008, that number surged to $53.5 million in support of John McCain. And in the last election, they spent $42.4 million boosting Mitt Romney. By contrast, the RNC has spent only $321,000 on independent expenditures attacking Clinton. And the majority of that spending occurred last fall, before Trump was named the leader for the GOP presidential nomination. Trump is at a vital point of this election, and he could use help from the FNC now more than ever. Several women have come forward this month with sexual assault allegations against him. What do you think? Is the RNC handing this election over to Hillary? 
1	Promoting the coaster as 'the most heartbreaking ride on earth,' the Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park unveiled its newest attraction this week: a 395-foot-tall steel roller coaster designed to simulate a grueling three year relationship with Deborah. Developed by world-renowned and recently single engineer Phillip Werner, the Life Force Crusher-X is said to feature six disorienting vertical loops, 150-feet of highly unstable barrel rolls, a portion in the middle where the ride just suddenly stops for no reason and refuses to start again until riders apologize, and an unexpected 310-foot drop at the very end. 'This heart-racing, gut-wrenching 90 mph free fall into unhealthy codependence and trust issues will have even the most extreme thrill-seekers begging for it to be over,' reads a Six Flags press release announcing the new coaster, which promises to require more attention and patience than any one man should reasonably be expected to have. 'Can you survive the Agonizing Vortex of Unflagging Acrimony?' According to park officials, the coaster begins with an impulsive burst of acceleration that, when riders reflect upon the experience years later, will prove to be the only enjoyable portion of the ride. A series of unexpected and painful twists rapidly follow, leaving riders confused, strangely resentful, and wondering if they made a huge mistake getting on the ride in the first place. For the next 25 minutes, the coaster creeps endlessly forward at an agonizing pace, until it actually starts moving backward. When the Life Force Crusher-X mercifully comes to an end, park visitors often find themselves speechless, emotionally exhausted, and completely broke. 'What the fuck just happened?' roller coaster enthusiast Derek Schumer said. 'At first things were great, but next thing I knew, I was throwing my hands in the air and screaming, ''Why are we even doing this? I don't understand why we're doing this! It doesn't make either of us the least bit happy. Just end it, already, just end it!' Added Schumer, 'I think I'm going to be sick.' Despite only opening last week, Life Force Crusher-X is already one of Magic Mountain's main attractions. The park has even been forced to extend its hours to accommodate ticket holders who said they would never come back, only to find themselves pounding on the gates at 2 a.m., desperate for just one more go-round. 'I can't decide if I hate the ride or hate myself for going on it,' read one comment on a website that reviews roller coasters. 'At one point I glanced over at the people on other coasters, and they all looked so much happier.' 'I don't know,' the comment continued. 'Maybe the Life Force Crusher-X is just the type of coaster I deserve.' Park-goer Andrew Murray had a similar experience on the Six Flags ride. 'Pretty early on, I realized that I just needed to get off,' Murray said. 'But by that point we had just passed through the Tunnel of Pregnancy Scares, and there was no way I could up and leave then. God, to think of all the other rides I could have tried if I weren't trapped on that suffocating machine.' Although some have expressed safety concerns with the coaster's structuremore than 7,000 feet of steel tubular track hastily built on a foundation of lust and shared contempt-both Six Flags and the designer himself have assured riders that the Life Force Crusher-X is nowhere near as dangerous as actually dating Deborah. 'Every inch of my coaster has been biodynamically analyzed by computers to be 100 percent safe, which is far more protection than I ever got from that heart-swallowing banshee of a woman,' designer Werner said at the unveiling of his semi-autobiographical ride. 'In fact, I myself ride the Crusher every morning. Just to remember.' Six Flags officials said they've already begun construction on their next coaster, one they are calling 'even more terrifying than being in a relationship with Deborah.' It's scheduled to open in 2012 and will be based on not being in a relationship with Deborah. 
3	Sandy Hooks Case against Bushmaster, and Why the Gun Debate Is Already OverJoshua Krause At least thats how they seem to view it. The parents are arguing that since the rifle used by Lanza was originally designed for military purposes, they had no business selling it to civilians. Thus, the company that built the rifle and the dealer who sold it to the shooters mother are both liable for monetary and punitive damages. You cant make this stuff up. Im not going to go over some of the Constitutional arguments, as that ground has been thoroughly covered, and I dont think it would convince these folks to change their minds anyway. Nor am I going to go over any of the conspiracy theories surrounding the Sandy Hook shooting. Lets take this story at face value for just a moment, and see if this case has any grounding in reality. Defendants know that, as a result of selling AR-15s to the civilian market, individuals unfit to operate these weapons gain access to them, writes attorney Joshua Koskoff. Bushmaster is the countrys largest supplier of combat weapons to civilians, according to the complaint. So should we hold car manufacturers responsible for the deaths of drivers? Granted, if your car was built with faulty brakes, its clear that the manufacturer is liable for any deaths or damages that occurred. But what if someone used that car to deliberately murder someone? Is the car company responsible then? After all, they had to have known that some of their cars would wind up in the hands of unstable people. And dont tell me that guns are an exception, because they are designed to kill. Cars may not be built for their ability to kill folks, but theyre damn good at it. Just ask the 33,000 people who are killed on Americas roadways every year. The 40-page document goes into the history of the rifle: The AR-15 was developed after World War II, when the US Army analyzed casualty reports and determined that shooting lots of bullets fast meant soldiers could kill more people. A company called Armalite built a machine that was lightweight, air-cooled, gas-operated, and magazine-fed that was so good its lethality was not dependent on good aim or ideal combat conditions. When equipped with the equal-opportunity killing machine, five men became as deadly as 11. The crux of the attorneys case, is that since Bushmaster sold military weapons to a civilian, they are partly responsible for the deaths that occurred at Sandy Hook. Not only was their weapon built for war, but it was also advertised as such by Bushmaster. But as youll see, none of that is relevant for anyone with half a brain. Never mind the statement its lethality was not dependent on good aim or ideal combat conditions is completely ridiculous, and any gun enthusiast, cop, or soldier, could tell you why. Whats bothering me is, how exactly does their case have a chance in hell of winning? Its not illegal to sell certain military weapons to a civilian. Bushmaster hasnt done anything wrong. They manufactured and sold a rifle that was deemed by law, to be suitable for civilians. Its not even fully automatic, as described by the attorneys ridiculous statement on lethality. A gun is no more or less dangerous by virtue of it being made for the military. Should Beretta be sued for all the civilians that have been killed by their M9s? Why hasnt anyone sued Colt for the M1911? Is it because, those weapons are not scary assault rifles? The number of lives lost in those 264 seconds was made possible by the rifle that was engineered to deliver maximum carnage with extreme efficiency, according to the lawsuit against AR-15 manufacturerBushmaster. The lawsuit was filed Monday morning inConnecticut superior court against Bushmaster, several othermanufacturers, and Riverview Gun Sales, where Lanzas rifle was purchased. The only reason bomb attacks are not more common, is because firearms are only a little bit easier to get than explosives. If these weapons were banned, explosives would make a comeback among mass killers. What with the Internet and all, it doesnt take a genius to make your own bombs. And if you think its hard to stop a crazy person from getting a gun now, at least theres a paper trail in most cases. Try tracking down a lunatic whos ordering the raw materials for a bomb (which often have other innocent applications). Under the title The Road to Sandy Hook, the lawsuit painstakingly details the use of the AR-15 in other mass shootings, including those at schools. Yet Bushmaster continued to market the AR-15 as a weapon that would make others bow down and kept selling high-capacity magazines with it. After recounting the individual lives taken by Lanza and his Bushmaster AR-15, the lawsuit says the defendants knew, or should have known that the sale of the AR-15 posed an unreasonable and egregious risk of physical injury to others. In addition, it shouldve known it wouldve been used in a mass shooting to inflict maximum casualties. Lets go back to the car industry for a moment. Does anyone remember when that senior citizen plowed through a farmers market back in 2003? 9 people were killed and dozens were injured, in what was widely believed to be either an accident, or an act of gross negligence. In the aftermath of the event, no one tried to sue Mercedes for making the vehicle that killed those people. Nobody said they shouldve known it would fall into the wrong hands. Instead they blamed the driver, and there was a national debate over whether or not we should allow senior citizens to drive. Case closed. But with guns the case is never closed. Some people seem to be completely incapable of viewing these weapons as inanimate objects. They cant shake the stigma behind these objects, and they pour all of their attention towards stopping these killing machines while completely ignoring the many other ways an individual can kill a lot of people. Gun control advocates just cant accept the nature of the world. They cant accept that they live in a world filled with killers, and as time goes on, they will have even more ways to kill people. As of right now there are plenty of ways for a lone wolf to commit mass murder, and there will never be a bureaucratic solution to stop them. Forget about guns. Someone can plant a bomb in a school, or crash their vehicle into a busy mall. They could cause a blackout in their city by blowing up a transformer, or they could dump a bunch of ricin in the water supply. And in the future, anyone with a computer and a 3D printer will be able to make an assault rifle. And not just one assault rifle, but for a few thousand dollars theyll be able equip a whole freaking battalion in a matter of days. And in a few years anyone with a computer and some basic equipment will be able to sequence the entire human genome. That means that someday soon, anyone with a biology degree and a few thousand dollars will be able to engineer a virus that could kill millions. What once took a warehouse full of scientists and equipment can now be done with one lunatic in his garage. The same will probably also follow with nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, and nanotechnology. So spare me the whole gun control debate. Its over whether these people care to admit it or not. Not only have they lost the debate from an ethical and constitutional standpoint, but the march of technology is leaving their sentimental ideals in the dust. There is no law or government on Earth that can stop people from owning and building the means to kill other people, and whether those people are good or evil does not matter. Its simply a fact of life that can no longer be ignored. 
1	Recovering from minor heart surgery Sunday, Vice President Dick Cheney stunned both the medical and political establishments when he mysteriously began to experience love for the first time in his life, sources reported Tuesday. A replaced defibrillator is having unexpected effects on the vice president, as this photo taken Monday reveals. It is believed to have been the first recorded incident of Cheney exhibiting compassion for his fellow man. Calling the vice president's sudden ability to love 'mystifying' but a possible medical breakthrough that could aid other Americans who suffer from acute mulishness and generalized misanthropy, Dr. Jonathan Samuel Reiner, Cheney's cardiologist, said in a press conference at George Washington University Hospital that the vice president exhibited a series of unexpected side effects almost immediately after regaining consciousness following his surgery. 'The vice president broke free from the straps that secured him to the bed and lurched at me as he customarily does following a heart procedure,' said Reiner. 'But instead of trying to strangle me, he wrapped his arms around me in a hug.' According to Reiner, Cheney left the hospital under his own power, but returned minutes later complaining of unfamiliar chest palpitations and sensations of warmth for others regardless of political affiliation or income. A test of the replacement defibrillator showed that the device was functioning properly, and an examination of Cheney revealed no physical abnormalities. 'The vice president's eyes had an unfamiliar gleam in them, and he didn't sound like his usual self at all, so we checked for signs of a stroke, but found none,' Reiner said. 'His voice was atypically soft, and his hands felt warm to the touch.' Cheney with 'new BFF' Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) at the Capitol Tuesday. Lynne Cheney, wife of the vice president, told reporters that her husband was 'doing fine' upon release from the hospital, but acknowledged that he had exhibited some peculiar traits. 'When he came home, he did not characteristically stomp into the house and grumble about how the 'stupid American people should just be shot,'' Mrs. Cheney said. 'Instead, he bent down to scratch the dog behind his ears instead of kicking him, and kissed me off-camera for the first time in 10 years.' Mrs. Cheney added she has not ruled out the possibility that her husband's blood- thinning medication may have been switched, unintentionally or not, with a CIA mind-control drug. Over the past two days, various White House and Capitol Hill sources have also reported bizarre behavior by the vice president. Cheney was back at work Monday, and, according to incredulous eyewitnesses, greeted each of his staff members by name. Later that afternoon, he canceled his regular weekly meeting with Halliburton executives, then kicked off his shoes, rolled up his pants, and strolled around barefoot on the White House lawn. Attending a Monday evening GOP fundraiser at the Washington Convention Center, Cheney was accompanied by David Gillian, 6, a young boy he had previously crippled, and by a small fawn who had followed him to the event. Mounting the podium as the featured speaker, he told supporters he had cast aside his planned speech on the counterinsurgency in Iraq's Anbar Province in order to 'tell the real truth.' 'If the events of Sept. 11 have taught us anything, it is this: We need to learn to love one another,' Cheney said. 'We are all entwined in an unbreakable braid of human brotherhood. Each of us has something good and special to offer. If we work together, we can make the world into a most wonderful place where we can turn our attention to the truly important things, like snuggling.' During a C-SPAN-televised appearance at the Senate Tuesday, Cheney, in his role as Senate president, announced he had brought doughnuts for everyone, and encouraged the legislators to be more sensitive to one another's feelings. 'I've wasted so much of my life on a mindless quest for power and outright destruction,' an increasingly emotional Cheney said. 'What about all the sunsets I've missed?' 'What are these things you call 'tears'?' added Cheney, as Senate ushers politely escorted him from the chamber. Despite his miraculous turnaround, doctors are calling Cheney's condition unstable and, if left untreated, possibly fatal. On Friday, Cheney will return to George Washington University Hospital to have the defibrillator removed, as it is feared that prolonged exposure to love could overwhelm his already shrunken and ulcerated black heart.

1	WASHINGTON, DCCiting years of distracting, time-consuming obligations that have caused other matters to go unattended, President Clinton called for a National Week Off Monday for the purpose of getting the nation's shit together. As shit continues to pile up on his desk, President Clinton phones members of Congress to rally support for his proposed National Week Off. If approved, the week off, scheduled for Oct. 7-13, would give Clinton, as well as the American people, a chance to finally take care of all their shit. 'My fellow Americans,' Clinton said in his weekly radio address, 'as your president, I have had a great many things to deal with during my time in office: welfare reform, the '96 election, Bosnia, fundraising scandalsyou name it. As a result, a lot of shit has piled up that I have not had the chance to take care of.' Among the shit Clinton intends to deal with during the week off: a pile of bills that he meant to pay a few months ago but forgot all about because of the Zairian crisis. 'I just want to take a whole day to do nothing but go at that stack. Then there's all that crap piling up on the Oval Office floor. I've got to do something about those boxes.' Clinton said that other shit would be targeted in subsequent days. 'I still have to call back that FCC guyhe's left a load of messages about that whole TV ratings deal. And the Army's been hassling me for months about getting them some new bombers. Plus, I owe Mexico like a billion dollars.' 'I am certain,' Clinton told the American people during the radio address, 'that you, too, have a great deal of shit piling up. Now more than ever, we, as a nation and a people, need this time off to finally deal with all the shit we've let slide.' Clinton said that as a two-term president, he has an unusually large amount of shit to deal with. 'I've still got shit from '93 I haven't even touched yet.' According to White House press secretary Mike McCurry, Clinton has also been putting off moving a couch he found down the block from the White House last week. 'Al Gore said he would help the president get it upstairs,' McCurry said, 'but then he took off to attend some technology summit in Geneva, so he never did.' The couch is currently sitting in the White House rose garden. Clinton Calls For National Week Off To Get National Shit Together Political analysts see the week-off request as a shrewd move on Clinton's part. 'Clinton may be the most shit-burdened president since Lyndon Johnson,' said Duke University political science professor Mel Heinz. 'This will enable him to finally catch up and get organized. Plus, if he doesn't get those videos returned, he's screwed. He's got late fees up the ass.' Heinz noted that he himself has 'mucho shit' to take care of during the proposed week off. As part of the proposal, Clinton has called for the creation of a new U.S. Department of Shit, and would appoint former White House counsel Kenneth Marsden the first Secretary of Shit. 'This will ensure that in the future, America's shit will stay firmly together,' Clinton said. With approval of the week off still pending, the U.N. is discussing a possible global week off. 'That would be fantastic,' recently elected British prime minister Tony Blair told reporters Tuesday. 'Major left all this shit behind, and the Irish situation's been keeping me busy like a mother. And I've got so much National Health shit to go through, it's not even funny.' The National Week Off would be the first such break since 1982, when President Reagan declared a month-long sabbatical during which the nation could go horseback riding. 
1	Lamenting his total lack of urgency while chewing, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid expressed frustration with himself Thursday over his poor clock management in the final moments of Union Grills 72-ounce Belt Buster steak challenge. I just lost track of the clock, and the next thing I knew, there was only one minute left and still 15 ounces of steak to go, said Reid, bemoaning the fact that he leisurely dipped every piece of the 4.5-pound sirloin in A.1. Sauce while precious seconds continued running off the clock. Once I realized how little time was left, I tried to hurry up and managed to get most of it down, but I had trouble lining up the next chunk. I always say how important it is to eat with all your heart for the full 60 minutes, and dont look ahead to the next meal, and days like today show why. But theres no one to blame but myself. Reid added that to avoid a similar mistake in the future, he is simply going to eat the entire steak in a single mouthful.

1	By the order of the Virginia Safety Commission, the Norfolk Rotating Vortex Of Sharp Knives public-works project was temporarily closed Monday. 'Until we deem that this whirling knife vortex fully complies with all state and federal safety regulations, we unfortunately have no choice but to shut it down,' commission spokesman James Fenten said. Vortex operators are angry. 'Closing the vortex is costing dozens of workers their paychecks,' project supervisor Carl Blaine said. 'It's costing the city $100,000 every day it's down. This city needs a gigantic, funnel-like chasm with whirling, razor-sharp steel blades protruding from all sides, and it needs it now.' 
3	NIH: We May Have to Vaccinate Whole Countries to Stop Ebola OutbreakMelissa Melton Two days ago, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told The Canadian Press that its quite conceivable, if not likely that fast-tracked Ebola vaccines may have to given to entire countries to get the viral outbreak under control (via Modern Healthcare): The article did not specify which country in particular Dr. Fauci whose institute just so happens to be currently working on an experimental Ebola vaccine (the first to begin human clinical trials) with Big Pharma giant GlaxoSmithKline was referring to. Was he talking specifically about Sierra Leone? Liberia? Guinea? Any place where Ebola has taken hold? The entire continent of Africa? Other countries, should it break out there including Spain or America? The prospects of countrywide vaccination for Ebola with a rushed-to-market vaccination are absolutely horrifying. Recall that some 800 children in Europe are now suffering narcolepsy thanks to the rushed swine flu vaccine. Daisy Luther of The Organic Prepper wrote: Thats not to mention a4,250% increase in fetal deaths linked to the shot when given to pregnant women as well, amounting to thousands of miscarriages among a lovely menagerie of other awful adverse events. And for what? What was revealed later to be a global hoax tied to grand financial motives, as Aaron Dykes reported back in 2010: Rest assured that whatever Ebola vaccine they come up with now will be even that much more rushed than the N1H1 vax. Why rushed? As Truthstream Media reported, check out what Dr. Ben Neuman told Bloombergthis past summer in an interview on why no vaccine for Ebola currently exists: Well there is definitely enough panic now, wouldnt you say? Dave Hodges, over at The Common Sense Show, has already penned an article demonstrating how the CDC has positioned themselves to profit financially should Ebola spread throughout the U.S.: That might explain why the CDC is so against banning air travel from West Africa and even continues to change its basic stance on how the virus is even spread. The World Health Organizations latest figures on the current outbreak show that over 8,000 people have been diagnosed with Ebola as of October 5th, and nearly 4,000 people have now died. Either way, I think I can speak safely for the staff here at The Daily Sheeple (as well as selfnews Post Ed.): we will not be rolling up our sleeves for any nationwide Ebola vaccination program any time not just soon, but ever. Melissa Melton is a writer, researcher, and analyst for The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared, 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! 
1	In the fast-paced world of investment banking, either you're on top of the latest trends, or they're on top of you. Asshole Michael Riegert Just ask asshole Michael Riegert. Riegert, a senior banker with the high-powered Manhattan firm of Salomon Brothers, is one asshole who understands the importance of staying ahead of the pack. 'When it comes to asset management in the '90s, you can never have too much information. That's your edge over the next guy,' said the 53-year-old prick. 'No matter what kind of portfolio you're building, from high-risk, high-yield National Intermediate Municipal Funds to medium-yield Asia Growth Funds, the key is knowing where the financial trends are headed before they get there.' 'I perform asset-management services for institutional and retail clients around the globe, and, regardless of what's in a particular client's portfolio, I always give the same advice: Don't look at what works today, look at what will work tomorrow,' the complete bastard noted. 'As I always say, keeping current is the most valuable currency of all.' 'Yes, investing does involve risk and some loss of principal; there's no getting around that,' said Riegert, an avid golfer and heartless son of a bitch. 'But by investing wisely, you can minimize that risk and maximize profit potential. Knowledgethat's your edge.' 
1	Ahead of Tuesday nights highly anticipated State of the Union address, top White House aides reportedly sat down with President Barack Obama and advised him to maintain a positive and optimistic tone throughout the speech by avoiding any mention of the United States of America. We feel its best to steer clear of topics that may cast the administration in an unfavorable light, so we urged the president to gently skirt the issue of America and any related subjects for the duration of his address, said White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, adding that they hoped to deny Republican opponents of any ammunition for their rebuttal by instructing Obama to refrain from talking about the U.S., any one of the 50 states, or the American populace at all. The country has been a really thorny issue for the president, so given the importance of this occasion and the number of people watching, we recommended that the president just stay away from using any loaded terms that might stir up negative associations with listeners, such as the United States, our nation, or my fellow Americans. White House sources later confirmed that Obamas State of the Union speech is estimated at seven minutes long and will focus largely on The Rolling Stones widely popular 1972 album Exile On Main St. 
3	Smart Meters, Electric Monopolies and The Quest To Go AnalogKevin Schmidt Then one morning, gazing out into our backyard, a smart meter attached to our house caught my eye, bringing immediate shock to my brain. How could this happen? I did not receive any notice in the monthly energy bill; no letter, nothing. The smart meter just appeared. The next day, Monica (my wife) and I researched ways to protect ourselves from being spied upon and forced to have unwanted radiation spewed into our home. In that effort to defend our safety, health, and privacy we sent SWEPCO/AEP (the power company) a demand notice giving them 30 days to remove the smart meter, and replace it with a safe analog meter. The same day SWEPCO/AEP received the notice they sent a young man to our home attempting to calm the crazy people. To them, obviously we were crazy and needed to be fed the companys talking points of how safe, secure, efficient, blah blah blah, and how they do not retain or gather personal information. After I escorted the robot to the door, he let me know that they will not change the meter and if we do so then the power to our house will be cut off. 30 days expired and our default notice was immediately sent. To summarize the default notice, it made clear that we have never and do not ever intend to steal power, reminding them we had never being late paying our bill, among many other legalities, including informing them that a licensed electrician was going to replace our meter. Today was the first full day of no electricity, which means no hot water, our food will ruin in the freezers, and now the lack of light invites malcontents. All this evil occurred because we simply wished to protect ourselves from unwarranted and unlawful meters. The local officials in government talked to the monopoly and their talking points worked well. The Mayor said, Well Kevin, they said the meters arent smart meters and theyre safe. So thats the end of the help from the government here in happy roll over sleepy town Marshall, Texas, zombie land. After sending the government the manufacturers website, which details how these meters are of the smart variety, the local government said I should get legal council because they just cant do anything. These officials can ticket me, fine me for all sorts of reasons, give monopolies permission to radiate and invade my privacy. However, they cant, rather will not, re-enforce a citizens right to protect him/her self by opting out of having a dangerous spy attached to the citizens home. So for now, we wait on unreturned phoned calls from every politician including Ted Cruz. Although US Senator John Cornyns office actually answered the phone telling me bluntly, Our office cant get involved with anything like this. This matter is of a personal nature between a private person and another business. Unfortunately we cant help. I think my tone was less than polite when I responded with something not suited for repeating even in this article. Luckily we have wonderful family that has taken us in like wet puppies out of the cold. We will, however, fight and fight hard for our right, and our neighbors rights, to opt out of being forced to accept these meters invading us. Please wish us luck friends, into the breach we go again. And good luck all of you! Kevin Schmidt is a good friend of theDollar Vigilante, and a well-seasoned businessman in a wide variety of businesses. Ranging from oil and gas exploration and production; real estate; hospitals; and mining. 
2	VIDEO: WWII Veterans Completely Humiliate Obama, How He Reacts Is Pathetic Just one week after returning from a vacation in Marthas Vineyard, President Obama jumped on a plane to Charlotte, N.C. to deliver a speech at the American Legions national conversation. The speech proved to be unlike any the president had given before. Many times throughout the speech, Obama paused, obviously anticipating applause and acknowledgement from the audience. Instead, he the veterans in the room left him only with an awkward silence. A video of the incident shows the president entering a state of desperation, as he scrambles to find common ground with the audience. In fact, the most heartening reaction he got from the audience was after he claimed, We will do what is necessary to those who harm Americansto go after those who harm Americans. The majority of Obamas speech focused on the militarys continued efforts in Afghanistan, which he promised to bring to a responsible end. He also spoke out about the recent beheading of James Foley, the photojournalist who was captured and publicly murdered by an ISIS fighter. What do you think? Would you clap for Obama? 
1	Tossing and turning way past his beddy-bye, delicate little man Jeremy Palazola was reportedly unable to sleep Tuesday night because he drank a teensy bit of coffee after four oclock. Ill have a cup in the morning sometimes, but thats usually it, said the precious flower, who tried and tried to keep his eyes closed but remained wide awake from the itty-bitty beverage he had 10 hours earlier. I knew I shouldnt have had any during the afternoon meeting, but I was just feeling so out of it. At press timeoh no!the darling little angel was getting a big tummy ache. 
1	Describing the current Republican frontrunners frankness on the topic as a welcome change of pace in the crowded race, female supporters of Donald Trump told reporters Monday they simply felt more comfortable backing a candidate who is openly hostile and belittling toward them. Its actually pretty refreshing to have a candidate whos willing to come right out and disrespect women to our faces, rather than trying to conceal their actual views or spin their policy stances as if theyre beneficial to women, said Trump supporter Laura Coyle, adding that she likes how she knows exactly where she stands with the billionaire due to his straightforward style of calling her gender worthless and disgusting up front. Sure, I gave Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee a chance. But they just talked in circles like Washington politicians, never offering any straight talk about how they view us as inferior and undeserving of equal treatment or rights. Trumps a straight shooter, though. What he says is what he believes, which in this case is that most women are either calculating manipulators or repulsive animals. When polled, Trumps male supporters indicated their approval for the candidates willingness to express his open disdain toward women as well. 
1	Emerging from a grueling 90 minutes of cardiovascular exercise and light lifting for tone, Son of God Jesus Christ said Monday that He is 'definitely on track' to achieve peak fitness condition for the Second Coming. The Son of God spends each morning trying to attain perfect abdominal definition. 'If every eye is going to see Me, and all the tribes of earth are going to wail on account of Me, I think I owe it to them and to Myself to be in the best shape of My life,' Christ said. 'Right now I'm up to 35 minutes at seven [miles per hour] on the treadmill and benching about 165 [pounds].' 'I'm really starting to feel like I'll have the strength and endurance to move every mountain and island from its place,' Christ added. Since His birthday last Dec. 25, Christ has committed Himself to a demanding daily regimen of exercise and prophecy fulfillment. Each of His workouts, Christ said, starts with an hour of cardio, after which He focuses on two muscle groups, replacing conventional free weights with the Rod of Iron with which He intends to rule all nations. On Mondays, Christ works His chest and biceps and completes three sets of 10 transfigurations. On Tuesdays, He switches to triceps and abdominals, and passes as many sets of Last Judgments as He can in a minute. Wednesdays are devoted to the back and legs, and Thursdays and Fridays are for core and flexibility. Even Sabbaths are spent doing yoga, swimming, and basic strength-training isometrics such as push-ups, leg lifts, and chin-ups. 'There can be no day of rest,' said Christ, His eyes filled with flaming fire. 'Rest is for mortals.' The determined Savior has also forsworn His favorite high-calorie, high-carb foods such as fatted calf, loaves, and even His own body and blood, instead embracing muscle-building high-protein shakes and electrolyte-replacing sports drinks. And when temptation calls, Christ need only look at two pictures taped to His refrigerator: an icon of Himself prior to starting His regimen and a reproduction of Michelangelo's 'Last Judgment' fresco torn from a magazine. 'The thought of being unable to seize the seven-headed serpent and hurl it into the abyss really keeps Me motivated,' Christ said. The Lamb of God said He made the decision to get in shape late last year when, after two millennia of relative inactivity, He realized that at His age there was 'no way' He could return to Earth, judge the souls of the innocent and wicked alike, and reign over the Kingdom of God for 1,000 years without prior conditioning. 'The Second Coming isn't just Me sitting on a great white throne and judging away,' Christ said. 'I also have to make all of the stars fall and shake all the powers in Heaven. That's why I've been working a lot with the medicine ball.' Christ, however, admitted that centuries of heavenly grace had enabled Him to 'really let [Himself] go.' 'I can't lead the armies of Heaven looking like some flabby slob,' said Christ, who declined to disclose His 'before' weight. 'That guy can't be the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. The faithful want a Messiah they can truly fear, not someone who's afraid to take off His shirt in public.' At first, Christ said He thought such a physical transformation would 'take a miracle.' During the first couple weeks of His exercise program, He couldn't work out on the treadmill for more than 10 minutes without gasping for breath and aggravating the old spear-point injury in His side. Now that He can deftly complete 20 ab-bench push-ups on the highest incline and almost as many chin-ups, Christ said, He feels more energetic than He has since His early 30s. And not only has frequent exercise made Christ feel more healthy and confident, it's 'cleared [His] head, which will really help [Him] deal with the massive amount of smiting and condemning.' Encouraged by His progress, particularly the increased definition in His pectoral and abdominal muscles, Christ is focusing all of His attention on visualizing the success of His Second Coming. 'Right now, it's all about Aug. 2,' the goal-oriented Savior said. 'And no matter how I look, there's no going back on this one like I did seven years ago.' 
1	A 7-pound, 18-inch largemouth bass bypassed reporters and went straight back into the water Saturday following a demoralizing defeat at the Bassmaster Lake Lewisville Shootout. 'This is a fish who prides himself on going out to that weed bed every day and eluding anglers, and you could see the disgust on his face,' Bassmaster official Travis Hessman said. 'There's no answer for how a bass who has been doing this for so long could get hooked on such a shoddy crankbait, and that's something he'll just have to live with until the next tournament.' Hessman added that the bass would be fined $30,000 for failing to fulfill his media obligations. 
2	Muslim Girl Kicked Out Of Class For After She Did THIS According to recent reports, a 15-year-old Muslim girl in Paris was just banned from her classroom from wearing a long black skirt. The incident is quickly spreading through France, with many teens taking to Twitter using a hashtag that translates to I wear my skirt as I like. The issue comes at a time when France is recovering from attacks by Muslim extremists. The student was just one of several who arrived at school wearing Islamic dress. All of the girls involved were asked to change into neutral clothing. It is not the long skirt that is the problem, one school official told reports. Rather, the issue is that the girls had agreed to wear the same skirts to display their belonging to a religious group. What do you think of the schools decision? Do you support them banning religious expression? 
3	Colombian Army Murdered Thousands of Civilians with the Help of US Tax DollarsBy Claire Bernish Somewhat euphemistically termed extrajudicial killings, the practice has been recognized for some time, but HRW found evidence in previously unpublished prosecutorial records that the practice was far more extensive and systematic than previously realized. Prosecutors are currently investigating 3,700 deaths caused by state agents. From 2002-2008, the report, titled On Their Watch: Evidence of Senior Army Officers Responsibility for False Positive Killings in Colombia, revealed that more than 180 brigades and tactical unitsand their commanderswere responsible for murders of civilians. These false positives bolstered records at a time when success in the ongoing war was measured in dead rebel bodies. According to the report: Under pressure from superiors to show positive results and boost body counts in their war against guerrillas, soldiers and officers abducted victims or lured them to remote locations under false pretensessuch as promises of workkilled them, placed weapons on their lifeless bodies, and then reported them as enemy combatants killed in action. Committed on a large scale for more than half a decade, these false positive killings constitute one of the worst episodes of mass atrocity in the Western Hemisphere in recent decades [] This report provides the most detailed published account to date, of what is now substantial evidence that senior army officers were responsible for many of the killings [who] at least knew or should have known about the [the practice], and therefore may be criminally liable as a matter of command responsibility. Suspicious mitigating circumstances and irregularities surrounding death countsdubbed entirely obvious in the reportled HRW to believe there could be no plausible denial of awareness by senior army officers that the murders were occurring. In just one example, a former 16th Brigade lieutenant testified that with the rank of a colonel and the experience you could have at this rank it is no secret that the troops . . . [were] killing innocent people who had nothing to do with the conflict and were reported with weapons that the guerrilla does not use to confront you with. In another instance, two unnamed battalion officials described regular meetings with their commanders to plan how to lure victims to their deaths. Once those schemes had been carried out, the officials were often rewarded with vacation time. But holding the appropriate parties accountable for the murders has been a complicated process. Prosecutors face the seeming complicity of military judges, defense attorneys, and army officials who create bogus delay tactics such as refusing to hand over necessary documents. Ongoing threats and attacks on key witnessesincluding a likely retaliatory murderhave hindered progress significantly. It is extremely important to note that the United States government began the Plan Colombia aid project in 2000 under President Clinton. The U.S. has since donated over $6.5 billion to the country, with the vast majority earmarked for military and police. According to Amnesty International, which is calling for an end to aid because of these exact human rights abuses, in 2006, U.S. assistance to Colombia amounted to an estimated $728 million, approximately 80% of which was military and police assistance. This was, of course, during the height of the militarys practice of killing civilians. Last year, the Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR) issued an extensive report that found a frightening link between U.S. assistance and human rights abuses. It states: Based on data on 5,763 reported executions in Colombia and extensive documentation of U.S. assistance to the Colombian military, we found a positive correlation between the units and officers that received U.S. assistance and training, and the commission of extrajudicial killings. Also revealed by the telling FOR report: U.S. military training [] is practically a required step for the promotion of a Colombian Army officer. And of those so trained, 12 of them48%had either been charged with a serious crime or had commanded units whose members had reportedly committed multiple extrajudicial killings [] Our findings call into question much of the assumed wisdom about military assistance programs [] The U.S. Congress and State Department must take action to ensure U.S. tax dollars no longer bankroll military units that bankroll executions in Colombia. [emphasis added]. FOR concludes by recommending ten conditions for the continuance of any further U.S. assistance to Colombia, including close monitoring of units and personnel for human rights abuses as well as judging progress by actual conduct rather than promotions of personnel. Though a human rights certification by the Secretary of Statewhich ostensibly tracks Colombias progressonce covered 100% of U.S. security assistance, it has since been lowered to apply to just 25% of monetary aid, rendering the stipulation ineffective at instituting any realistic change. Human Rights Watch is calling for the U.S. to enforce human rights conditions on military aid, with suspension of all assistance should the country further breach policy. The group is also urging the International Criminal Court to hold Colombia under tighter scrutiny in ongoing prosecutions. 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. Utter bullshit! The Colombian guerrillas nothing more than common criminals have held this country hostage for over 60 years. Their contributions: kidnapping, extortion, bombing electrical power lines, destroying hospitals, bridges, you name it. They hide themselves under the false banner of political activists. The Colombian government had a small opportunity to enforce the law under president Alvaro Uribe and the world is up in arms when he went after the murders thugs. I myself was almost kidnnaping in 1985 and can assure all those who read this that it was under Plan Colombia that this country recovered a bit of peace and stability. 
3	Why The DOJ Is Wrong, Drivers Licenses Are Not Protected By ConstitutionBy Andrew Pontbriand It is a perfectly human response to nearly shut down and turn on your emotions, desperate to cling on to the [vested] beliefs you have had since you were brainwashed as a child. Which, sure as you were born you were brainwashed. Dont fret, I am not here to pass judgement or play the blame game I too was once brainwashed. The Drivers License issue has been around for quite some time here in America. The funny part about it though, is that very fact in and of itself. It has been around for some time. Not the whole time. America is [supposed to be] a free country made up of individual states with a Republican form of Government. I know, this makes some of you uncomfortable but I promise if you continue reading you will come to realize this is far from a political article. Article IV Section 4 of the [organic] American Constitution guarantees every state a Republican form of Government. So, what is a Republican form of Government? No it is notwhen you have a Republican controlled House or Republican President. In fact, it has nothing to do with the Republican Party of today. A Republican form of Government is the antithesis of politics. A civil/central government (where the true democracy lies in the halls of a Congress) is where the politicians broker deals to the highest bidder, and are able to manipulate the system to shield themselves from prosecution. (Does that sound familiar?) A Republican form of Government is: one in which the powers of sovereignty are vested in the people and are exercised by the people, either directly, or through representatives chosen by the people, to whom those powers are specially delegated. It is a system where power exists only by consent. If you do not consent, then there lies no authority above you (assuming no person or property was damaged). As you can see from the above definition, there appears to exist a duality. Either you have a government made up of free men and women who make laws and execute them (for the mutual aid and betterment of the common man) or you have a group of elected officials who are given those powers. Please see Article IV Sec. 4 for more info Sadly, the American people have been sold a bag of [no]goods for decades. The use of the highway for the purpose of travel and transportation is not a mere privilege, but a common fundamental right of which the public and individuals cannot rightfully be deprived. Chicago Motor Coach v. Chicago, 169 NE 221. The right of the citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, either by carriage or by automobile, is not a mere privilege which a city may prohibit or permit at will, but a common law right which he has under the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Thompson v. Smith, 154 SE 579. The right to travel is a part of the liberty of which the citizen cannot be deprived without due process of law under the Fifth Amendment. Kent v. Dulles, 357 US 116, 125. The right to travel is a well-established common right that does not owe its existence to the federal government. It is recognized by the courts as a natural right. Schactman v. Dulles 96 App DC 287, 225 F2d 938, at 941. The citations and cases go on and on. What it boils down to is very simple the American people have long forgotten what it means to be free. The average American lines up in droves to forfeit their natural rights, in exchange for [political] civil privileges. This is exactly what happens when you go to alocal branch of the Registry of Motor Vehicles. The government forced me to get a drivers license! Did they? I can guarantee you without a doubt, that not once has any government official (let alone an RMV Branch Employee) come to your house with the intention of forcing you to apply for a drivers license. It just aint happenin Jack! However, the average American is often all to happy and excited to willingly and voluntarily go out of their way to hand over their [un]inalienable rights! There is anarticle gaining traction throughout social media in regards to a recentDOJ Brief.The brief is in regards to license suspensions, and apparently the DOJ sided with the Plaintiffs and states: the State has suspended drivers licenses without adequate due process. We feel it is important to comment. In some ways, many will view this Department of Justice brief as a victory for freedom. Currently, the Supreme Court has yet to rule or even schedule a hearing to rule on this case. Either way, this is a very important case because this author believes it will set a new precedent. A precedent that will further show evidence that the American people not only choose to surrender natural rights, but they actually challenge government officials in keeping those very rights at bay. In other words, the argument that State officials in states like California and Virginia are depriving citizens of their right to possess a license, because of their inability to pay court costs or fines, is simply incorrect and incompatible with the rights guaranteed to us all. Drivers Licenses areNOT guaranteed by the Constitution! This argument is null and void on the face of it. No license is guaranteed to anybody, because a license is simply a man-made, arbitrary creation of the State, and falls under statutes and code enforcement. Anything that falls under statutes and code enforcement comes under the Commerce Clause of the U.S Constitution, which means, if you want to voluntarily claim you need a drivers license, the state assumes you are doing so to engage in commerce. This of course would mean then that you SHOULD have the ability to pay court costs and court fines, since a license is granted to drivers who want to contract under the Motor Vehicle Code, which falls under Motor Vehicles engaged in commerce. The legal system in America is simply following suit, and has been for the last 130+ years. Despite the law still standing that Americans DO NOT need drivers licenses to travel freely and given that the government cannot restrict your right to travel;it is still extremely common for people to grossly misunderstand what traveling freely truly is. If you have a drivers license, a Motor Vehicle as defined in the Motor Vehicle Code, or even an Automobile that has license plates and a registration (certificate or receipt of someone elses property) then you can (and will) fall under the jurisdiction of the government to restrict your privilege of using a Motor vehicle (as defined by the Motor Vehicle Code.) To conclude, we live at a time in which even though information is plentiful and easier to access, people still disregard the available facts and history. This negligence tends to cause people to be the proximate cause of their own injury, and continues the repeated offenses to individual liberty and freedom we were all born with. Until we as Americans finally decide in our own capacity, that we will not engage in the fraud of the system until we decide we will not, in our own capacity, give up our natural freedoms in exchange for the false security of the United States benefits and privileges program unfortunately we will not be free. We need to get back to basics. The 1% that need policing doesnt require a police state army out fishing traffic at will . Jailing people and feeding the system for monetary gain for the state must stop. Please brave people come forward to teach us how to do this so the system is put back into the corral of the Constitution and we become a Republic again. they cannot detain you for a civil infraction aka pull you over We do not have judges only executive administrators who enforce corporate statutes in Kangaroo Pseudo Corporate rooms dressed up to look like a court. It is all a fraud by Dun and Bradstreet listed corporations masquerading as govs. Great article. I wish, however, that it would have gone a tad further in addressing the ID issue, which the drivers license doubles as. I do not drive, and never have. But I kowtow to the various ID demands by going to the state and getting my ID from them every 8 years, or whatever it is now. Sad fact: it is nearly impossible to go about on ones business without a photo ID these days. Amusing corollary: last time I renewed my ID at the Virginia DMV they issued me a valid drivers license by mistake without me taking any test or even being able to drive! I am not physically incapable of driving; I have no such handicap. However, I am so awful at it that I could not in good conscience go through with that pretense. So I drink instead, with a clean conscience that I am not imperiling you. Youre welcome! Tell it to the police officers who pull you over. Theyll still find a way to issue the ticket and itll be up to you to face the judge. Do you have time for all that? One must make time. Since all of this is unlawful, SUE everyone involved. The arresting officer, the prosecutor, the court. Sue them all. It is not just tell it to the officer, they will most of the time arrest you, they ARE in the WRONG but still will not stop them, I have seen and read many cases about people doing this and they are arrested, harassed, to bad the people who are suppose to know the law do not know it Yep. A buddy of mine is a highway patrolman. Though the Constitution side is my approach he does see my point of view, he states he wont take any B.S. and will issue the ticket regardless. Why? Its his job and what his supervisors tell him to do. Actually, demanding citizens obtain and maintain a license to move about the country is illegal. The law was written to apply only to interstate commerce. If you are transporting goods or people for profit, then you can legally be required to be licensed. But to traverse about freely is constitutionally protected. Our ignorance of founding documents has ultimately enslaved us to a corrupt federal government. You dont need a license to move about the country, you need a license to drive a motor vehicle on a taxpayer-funded highway. For the safety of other drivers you are required to demonstrate proficiency, and for the funding of said highways you are required to pay license and tag fees. You are perfectly free to build your own roads on your own property and drive around on them without a license, or even collaborate with your neighbors to build a local system of roads independent of any municipality. But if you want to use the roads that taxpayers funded, you must play by the rules the representatives of the taxpayers established. You need a class on reading comprehension son. I personally fought this battle for a lot of years wasted a lot of time and money and put a lot of miles on my car fighting it in court: sovereignty, common law state Citizen status vs U.S. citizenship, driving a vehicle vs the right to travel and Andrews article is remarkably complete. When you pilot a motor vehicle on a state-provided roadway with a state-issued license to drive, you are deemed to be engaged in commerce. As such, they have the authority (and jurisdiction) to regulate your activities, in the name of public safety (among other things) and monitor the manner in which you move in that environment- (think speed, EPA regulations of vehicle emissions, proper lighting, signals, etc.) You will note that no matter what your claimed political status (citizenship included see: ex parte Ng Fung Sing) the drivers license is ALWAYS tied to your state-issued Social Security number which, if you have one, is seen as verification that you have made an election to be treated as a U.S. citizen. Essentially waiving your sovereignty. The key is to rescind your SSN for cause- namely, fraud on the part of the U.S. government. I did that too. But if you really want to travel freely on the highways, youll need that license, vehicle registration and insurance otherwise they can take your property. I pushed that envelope too, and it happened to me. Thankfully, I came to my senses and got my car back. Sometimes you simply have to render unto Caesar that which is Caesars While I agree with all you wrote here, how does one go about gaining employment without a SS number? I had trouble one time in the hiring process because all I had with the stub that comes attached to the card (lost wallet and card and figured the stub would be sufficient), which had my name and SSN on it. I have read many articles on this matter but never has one touched on this issue. I couldnt agree more. Dont need no stinkin drivers license. How glad I am, to find such a great article here (well done, author) and then such great comments! Im proud of all of you who actually know who you are! You are NOT commercial chattle, nor are you a creature of the mind as is our federal government and all its alphabet agencies. You are NOT a legal fiction or an individual legal entity. You are NOT a possession of the federal government because you identified to be in their jurisdiction (duress matters). You are YOU, a living, breathing man or woman, and as such have inherent rights afforded by your creator NOT some piece of paper called the bill of rights just because it says the same thing. No man may interfere, let alone a tyrannical foreign power such as our government now is. So well done, all of you! One thing we should all remember: Corporations may ONLY interact with other corporations, so they trick us into identifying as such. They use words and questions specifically designed to accomplish this fraud to create joinder (to trick you into a contract with them), so beware, tread carefully when in their presence, and by NO means give evidence against yourself, because that is how they do it they have US do it for them, and most of us still dont realize it. Drivers licenses are hearsay and you must give them hearsay before they can even touch you, let alone ticket you. We do this every time we answer them when they ask, Whats your name? or when they ask you anything at all and you answer them. You are creating joinder and they MUST have that in order to write you up, take your stuff and money, and throw you in a cage. So I just avoid them, I dont hurt anyones or their property, and if Im asked a question by them, I ALWAYS respond with a question myself, and I NEVER answer theirs. The license might not be guaranteed, but access to road travel is Has anyone noticed that illegal aliens are not required to have IDs? Bullshit article!!!!! If anything jail the DMV commissioners for their absurd corrupt systems of punishing people for minor traffic infractions. Moreover, policing and jails are now nothing but big business as the entire system of courts/law enforcement etc. now relies on traffic finesthe DMVs want their chunk of big cashthey dont want to get left behind to collect their hundreds of $$millions for Americans already suffering from many hardships Yea figured it wouldnt be the easiest thing to accomplish, obviously. But thanks for the feedback. Its still muddy, but a tad bit clearer. Good day and god bless 
1	Having noticed him wincing and letting out low groans each time he stood up, sources confirmed that local man Joel Braleys back was really bothering him Friday following a poor nights sleep and 58 continuous years of terrible posture. Oh man, my backs killing me, said the man who was tossing and turning all night and spent most of the preceding six decades hunched forward over a desk, computer keyboard, or, more recently, his phone. I guess I slept on it funny [and never throughout my life figured out how to stand upright without slouching or leaning against a stationary object]. Christ, I really did a number on it last night [and every previous day for almost 60 years]. Oww. Sources later confirmed that Braley was going to try to alleviate his back pain by lying down on his couch and keeping stationary for the rest of the evening as well as most of the remaining 16 years of his life. 
1	In a bold expression of individuality, local youngster Steve Haselrig, who is a boy and not a girl, donned an ear-ring yesterday. The 15-year-old Haselrig publicly wore the ear-ringa fashion accessory normally associated with femalesall day long in his left ear, providing him with a renegade, against-the-grain look. Steve is not one to follow the crowd, said Frank Messner, the youths principal at Driftwood High School. Judging from this ear-ring, that much is clear. I just hope this rebellious wild card doesnt inspire the other boys in school to do the same. Since the appearance of the ear-ring, rumors have swirled that Haselrig also likes to wear shades, and even smokes, inhaling fumes from burning tobacco leaves into his lungsa habit many consider to be 'cool.' 
2	Liberals Turn On Hillary For Dem. Nominee After She Does Something Unforgivable The Democratic National Committee has clearly favored Hillary this entire time. However, certain circumstances have made this much a much more complex issue. Van Jones puts it simply. There is a full-on rebellion at the grassroots level. Apparently, ultra-progressive group MoveOn has swapped its support from Hillary to Bernie Sanders?! MoveOn.org, our biggest progressive organization, endorsed Bernie Sanders last night. Overwhelmingly, 67%, Van Jones went on to explain. This was due in part to Hillarys use of daughter Chelsea to attack Sanders over the matter of Obamacare. Van Jones says that voters are looking for authenticity. Surprise, surprise, Hillary just isnt very authentic. The Clintons are starting to do stuff thats stoking this rebellion. Its not that Hillary Clintons going to lose, Bernie Sanders is likely now to win both Iowa and New Hampshire because the base is getting frustrated with the Clinton campaign, he said. In reality, its unlikely that Hillary will lose the nomination. However, she better be careful, because one big screw up could end things for her. Do you think Hillary would be as bad as Obama as president? 
3	16 Facts That Show How Members Of Congress And Federal Workers Are Living The High Life At Your ExpenseMichael Snyder, Contributor Once upon a time, working for the federal government was considered to be a sacrifice and it often involved a significant reduction in pay. Millions of Americans felt that serving their country and making a difference more than made up for the reduced wages that they would receive. Unfortunately, those days are long gone. Today, the federal government is the place to go if you want a cushy, high-paying job with tons of benefits. It is incredibly hard to be fired from a federal job, and if you stick around long enough you will be guaranteed a huge pension for the rest of your life. There is a reason why the median household income is higher in the Washington D.C. area than anywhere else in the nation. The U.S. government is the goose that just keeps laying golden eggs. Over the past 40 years there has been an incredible economic boom in the areas of Virginia and Maryland bordering our capital. But it is not because those areas have added value to our economy. Rather, it is because the federal government has been sucking the lifeblood out of the rest of the country and has been showering it on millions of parasites that are living the high life at our expense. We desperately need to change course, because our federal government has become a deeply corrupt monster that just keeps getting larger and larger no matter which political party is in control. The following are 16 sickening facts that show how members of Congress and federal workers are living the high life at your expense. #1 Nearly 500,000 federal employees now make at least $100,000 a year. #2 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. #3 If you can believe it, there are 77,000 federal workers that make more than the governors of their own states do. #4 In 2010, the federal government spent $33,387 on the hair care needs of U.S. Senators. #5 In 2010, U.S. Senators pulled $72,370 out of the Senate Restaurant Fund. #6 In 2010, U.S. Senators took $166,673 out of something called the Senate Gift Shop Revolving Fund. #7 In 2010, an average of $4,005,900 of U.S. taxpayer money was spent on personal and office expenses per Senator. #8 Cooks working for the Bureau of Prisons make an average of $66,225 a year. #9 During 2010, the average federal employee in the Washington D.C. area received total compensation worth more than $126,000. #10 During 2010, compensation for federal employees came to a grand total of approximately 447 billion dollars. #11 According to the Heritage Foundation, federal workers on average make 30 to 40 percent more money than their counterparts in the private sector. #12 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. #13 If you are a federal worker, you are 13 times more likely to die of natural causes than you are to get laid off by the federal government. #14 Insider trading is 100% legal for members of Congress, and they refuse to pass a law that would change that. #15 At this point, more than half of those serving the American people in Congress are millionaires. #16 Nearly 15,000 retired federal workers are collecting federal pensions for life worth at least $100,000 annually. The list includes such names as Newt Gingrich, Bob Dole, Trent Lott, Dick Gephardt and Dick Cheney. Meanwhile, much of the rest of the nation is deeply suffering. As I have written about previously, 77 percent of all Americans are now living paycheck to paycheck at least part of the time, and a whole host of statistics show that the middle class in America is in a deep state of decline. Median household income has declined by 8.1 percent since the year 2000, and 14 million more Americans have been added to the food stamp rolls since Barack Obama became president. It is not right for members of Congress and federal employees to be living the high life while the rest of the country is experiencing tremendous economic pain. What makes all of this even worse is that the U.S. national debt has now reached the 16 trillion dollar level. If we could pay for all of this wild government spending that would be one thing, but the truth is that the U.S. national debt is now more than 22 times larger than it was when Jimmy Carter became president. We need to totally change the culture in Washington. We need a government that is lean and efficient and that is full of people that have a passion for serving the public. So do you think that we will ever get there? Please feel free to post a comment with your opinion below.

1	Statistics released by the Department Of Defense estimated that 2,937 U.S. troops and over 100,000 Iraqi civilians have died in the ongoing American military victory in Iraq. General George Casey, Jr. lauds 'another plainly measurable step' in America's victory. 'Victory deaths are at a higher level than we had anticipated, yes,' Gen. George Casey, Jr. said at a press conference shortly after the figures were released. 'But one of the crucial lessons of our Vietnam experience is that a victory, in order to remain victorious, can't be abandoned halfway through, or in the case of Iraq, one-eighth of the way through.' 'And significantly more troops may be required if we are to continue to enjoy that victory, especially if this turns into an all-out civil war,' Casey added, stressing that it was still too early to deem the victory a 'quagmire.' Debate continues over whether U.S. troops should be withdrawn from the Iraqi theater of victory. While some in Congress argue that a withdrawal would force Iraqi leadership to enforce the victory on their own, many military experts say that Iraqi troops remain insufficiently trained and unprepared to handle the daily perils of victory. President Bush has consistently warned that if we hand over victory to local forces right away, there's a risk that victory may worsen, as Iraqis won't be able to contend with the guerrilla attacks and improvised explosive devices that claim the lives of dozens of the victorious every day. 'We're paying dearly in the form of American lives,' Bush said, 'but, plainly speaking, that's just victory for you.' Casey's remarks came nearly two weeks after some 200 Iraqi Shi'ites died in a series of car bombs in Baghdad's Sadr City, the largest single victory-related death toll since the U.S. won the Iraq War in 2003. In an address to the nation Dec. 10, President Bush predicted that, if efforts continue as they have in Iraq, 'This could become America's longest victory ever,' Bush said. 
2	Sheriffs Across 50 States Make Announcement About Obama: Were Coming For You When sheriffs are sworn in to duty, they take an oath to uphold the law and the Constitution. As protectors of the law and our rights as Americans, a group of sheriffs recently converged on the Capitol to protest President Obamas illegal amnesty order. Weve had 20-something-odd meetings in the White House this summer its reported, by stakeholders, primarily business and special interests groups, Senator Jeff Sessions told reporters. Not once has the National Sheriff Association been invited. Sessions attended the protests, along with Senator David Vitter and Representative Marsha Blackburn. What were facing in Texas and in this nation is a large welcome sign and a saloon-door mentality on our border, Jackson County Sheriff Andy Louderback said of Obamas plan for amnesty. Other issues discussed by the association included drug busts and violence. The president talks a lot of about fairness, Blackburn weighed in. Let me tell you what is not fair. It is not fair for out-of-work Tennesseans to have to compete for jobs with those that have chosen to illegally come into this country. What do you think? Do you support sheriffs taking a stand against Obama? Should he be thrown in jail for his actions?

1	During a crowded rush-hour subway ride Monday, an inadvertent brushing of one human being's hand against the forearm of another elicited a swift, contrite apology, subway sources reported. 'Whoopssorry,' said proofreader Heather Wright, 32, immediately following the intrusion into 20-year-old Hunter College student Chris Franek's personal space, which occurred as Wright tried to turn the page of her book with one hand. 'Sorry about that.' Responding to Wright's apology, Franek almost inaudibly mumbled, 'It's okay.' 
1	The Ford Motor Company announced Wednesday that it has developed a new SUV that will be powered exclusively by gasoline, a 100 percent reliable, oil-based energy source. Were very proud to introduce the Ford Petrola, a vehicle that runs on a specialized fuel derived almost entirely from naturally occurring organic compounds, said Raj Nair, the companys vice president of global product development. Whether youre commuting to work or heading out for a little adventure on the weekend, just fill the Petrola with gasoline and youll be ready to go. Best of all, this pure hydrocarbon fuel source is currently available at more than 100,000 filling stations across America. Nair also noted that prototypes of the new vehicle have been able to travel more than 300 miles on a single power charge of gasoline. 
1	Warning that he was a dark and vengeful God, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick reportedly pulled aside Tim Tebow at the teams facilities Thursday and informed the backup quarterback that he was his only Lord and savior now. This is your church now, and you shall worship me, said Belichick, who sources confirmed clutched Tebows throat and slammed the former Heisman Trophy winner against a concrete wall. If you want to see a wrathful God, then question me on playing time. I will crush you into dust. And if I ever see you on your knees, you better be praying to me or you will be destroyed by my blistering fury. At press time, Tebow told reporters that he was renouncing Jesus Christ. 
1	Blakely civic leaders were baffled last weekend as Cryptosporidium Daze, their elaborately planned summer festival celebrating the popular waterborne pathogen, failed to draw tourists to the Southwest Georgia town. Cryptosporidium Daze 'Just as Colquitt celebrates its agricultural heritage with Watermelon Days, we wanted to host a festival that reflected the uniqueness of our community,' Blakely Town Council president Jane Lyons said Monday. 'When someone suggested a theme inspired by the historical event we're best known for, the Great Cryptosporidium Outbreak of 1988, we knew we had the answer.' Twelve years ago, Lyons said, a small amount of pig feces seeped into the town's municipal water supply, contaminating it with cryptosporidium. As a result, 611 citizens contracted cryptosporidiosis, an intestinal disease marked by abdominal cramps, violent diarrhea, nausea, and fever. 'If it weren't for our town's brush with cryptosporidium, the EPA never would have enacted the Surface Water Treatment Act of 1989,' Lyons said. 'It established drinking-water standards for the entire countryand it all started right here in Blakely!' Much to the surprise of town-council members, unlike Colquitt's Watermelon Days and Columbia's Riverfest, which bring up to 15,000 visitors into the neighboring small towns each summer, Cryptosporidium Daze was sparsely attended. 'It's a real mystery,' Lyons said. 'It was a nice, sunny day, the park was filled with booths, and somebody was out there in the big foam cryptosporidium mascot outfit shaking hands with everybody. Yet, somehow, the festival flopped.' Jeremy Luchs, 9, wears the T-shirt he won as the sole youth participant in the Protozoan Parade. The three-day event drew only seven non-residents, most of whom left shortly after arriving. 'I thought cryptosporidium was some type of flower,' said Rhonda Weber, who drove to Blakely from Albany for the event. 'Turns out, I was thinking of chrysanthemum.' After an outlay of nearly $4,000 for decorations, advertising, and equipment rental, Lions Club president Gary Milstead estimated that Cryptosporidium Daze brought in less than $45 in revenue. 'We had a new mascot, Crypty The Cryptosporidium, created just for the event,' said Milstead, pointing to poster bearing a grinning, single-celled parasite wearing a Blakely baseball cap. 'We still have plenty of T-shirts left for sale if you want one.' Even Blakely's own citizens were disinterested in the festival. A pageant to crown one lucky young Blakely girl 'Cryptosporidium Queen' was canceled due to a lack of applicants. Other poorly received events included the Name That Parasite contest, the Water Boil, the cryptosporidium-themed 'haiku-off,' and the Protozoan Parade, in which children could compete for prizes by dressing up as their favorite member of the phylum protozoa. With the unpopular event behind them, some members of the town council are wondering if they selected the wrong theme. 'Maybe people just aren't as interested in cryptosporidium as they were in the late '80s,' Lyons said. 'Back then, if we announced a town meeting about cryptosporidium, every last person would show up. I have, however, heard a lot of buzz lately about the radon gas that was detected in some of the homes over by the railroad tracks. Well, I guess there's always next summer.' 
3	Downing A Drone To Protect Privacy Is Now Officially Labeled Criminal MischiefBy Joe Wright So far we have seen a push by the FAA to impose mandatory drone registration that requires owners of any drone weighing more than 250 grams to ID their aircraft and provide personal contact information so that quick action can be taken in the case of violations. However, this is being done mainly to protect government institutions, federal airspace and of course to address the ubiquitous threat of terrorism. Meanwhile, a range of penalties has been applied to the few individuals who have managed to bring down drones in both public and private space; from jail time in the case of a man who took down a drone with his T-shirt at a California beach, to a 65-year-old Pennsylvania woman who hit her neighbors drone with a rock, destroying it she was forced to pay $600 in damages, but was cleared of criminal mischief. A Kentucky man who took more serious action and used a shotgun to blast his neighbors drone out of the sky, was arrested, but also was eventually cleared of criminal mischief and first-degree endangerment. One case that has still been pending is for New Jersey resident, Russell Percenti. He was actually the first ever to be arrested for downing a drone and was indicted by a grand jury; he was facing more than 5 years in jail for his use of a shotgun to take down a drone that hovered near his house. Again, criminal mischief was the charge, as well as a weapons offense. It appears that Percentis 2014 case has finally reached a resolution and might have wider precedent-setting implications. In a short announcement from the Associated Press, Percenti has now admitted to the charge of criminal mischief and will escape his lengthy jail sentence in favor of probation. Perhaps most troubling, is that Percenti still seems to be asserting that he was trying to protect his familys privacy. However, facing an inordinate length of time for that infraction, he has capitulated and put on the record that it is now an act of criminal mischief to do so. I certainly dont wish to impugn the moral compass of Mr. Percenti, as it is the justice system and due process itself where the questions should ultimately lay, but this certainly would seem to open the door to empowering the State against future citizens who will not abide by this type of threat to their person or property. It would be wise to keep a close eye on how future cases are addressed to see if a new trend emerges. Have you seen low-flying drones out in public where you live, or flying over your private property? Have you read any other stories of people being arrested for shooting down drones in your state? Please leave details in the comment section. Joe Wrights articles can be found at selfnewsPost.com. This article can be freely shared in part or in full with author attribution and source link. Han them electronically. That cant be traced or proven. Use an old microwave ovens microwave generator and build a microwave gun. If a drone invades your privacy, use the microwave on the drone to destroy it. Hide the microwave gun and plead ignorance when asked what happened to their drone. For higher flying drones, you can couple several microwave units together and have a parabolic dish focus the energy to act at a distance in an effective way. people wake up, you privacy and right to protect your life and your loved one lives is key. I have a solution. Use an old microwave ovens microwave generator and build a microwave gun. If a drone invades your privacy, use the microwave on the drone to destroy it. Hide the microwave gun and plead ignorance when asked what happened to their drone. For higher flying drones, you can couple several microwave units together and have a parabolic dish focus the energy to act at a distance in an effective way. Just trying to help my fellow man.. Not helpful at all without the instructions. This is a legal no brainer. The FAA owns the air. Period. You may hate that. You may wish it were different. Congress could change the law even. But today the FAA owns the air. Destruction of private property is a crime. it has always been a crime going back centuries in English common law. Firing a gun into a populated area is inherently dangerous. Every armed idiot says Oh my shotgun blast was straight up at that drone that was 3 feet over my 14 year old naked sun bathing daughter. That is a simple lie, until you say it in court then of course it it perjury. The maniac in Kentucky was particularly egregious because there was telemetry showing everything he said was a lie. But hey, Kentucky. They arent the butt of jokes in Mississippi and Arkansas for no reason! It is wonderful to see the wheels of justice start grinding up these red neck vigilantes. Hopefully soon one of them will go to federal prison for 5 years and that will put an end to it before they kill someone! Not Period at all. Thats only what the FAA claims to be true. Your legal no brainer has not been decided in a court yet and probably wont be until a small plane sucks a drone into its engines and goes down, killing the passengers and a serious lawsuit (versus frivolous My nervous chickens! My naked daughter!) forces the issue. Lets all hope you keep your drone from killing anyone. All airspace from the surface to 60,000 feet is classified under international law. All airspace over parts of the planet that are subject to the governance of the US Federal Government is under absolute regulation by the FAA. Also, any airspace not classified as something else (A thru E) is (once again by international law) Class G airspace. [The US does not have any class F airspace]. The fact that the FAA has not been eager to insert itself into this mess doesnt change the fact that Congress gave them unlimited power over it. There is no legal exception at all. For anything. If you want to put a TV antenna in your back yard the only reason you can do that is because the FAA has specifically written regulations saying you can. Incidentally if your antenna is over 200 feet tall it will have additional FAA regulation and you ignore them at risk of serious legal consequences. Thank you for taking the time to educate me. I did look into this a bit before writing my comment, but not all that much since I dont really care about drones particularly and I certainly dont intend to buy one. What is bothersome is that our government thinks it owns everything, including the air we breath and the water we drink and use to grow the nations food. Recently the mayor of a town in the state where I live sold the towns water supply to Cargill. He had no right to do this and now the town has to buy it back at a much higher price than it sold it for. This kind of bureaucratic malfeasance makes me spit bullets. Anyway, dont be too hard on the rednecks, theyre just protecting the governments air. I thought the Nestles company owns the water beneath american soil guess I stand corrected! Ya, I thought that too. They have basically privatized the water supply and its for sale to the highest bidder, including the water that drops out of the FAAs air. How much bottled water was sold to the people of Flint, MI? I guess the next gambit will be selling air and well have to pay to breath it. Be a cutting edge oligarch, start an air bottling company today! The government owns nothing I/we do not consent to. POS terry defending the rights of some to spy on others. There is a separate justice for POS like terry. In the case of Percentiit shows how our govt. is working overtime to step on the individual and their rights. Had the drone been around a govt. building and a govt. agent shot it downeven in the midst of a highly populated city, endangering the lives of citizenshe would be hailed as a hero, mostly likely. inalienable right This is precedent over any man made law. The whole corrupt system works on our consent. This man was fraudulently coerced into consenting to avoid imprisonment. It is our consent (assumed to be given freely until challenged) that keeps the corruption growing. A plea deal is definitely consentconsent that eventually supports the courts assumptions and the circle is complete. The biggest trick is no longer informing us of the cause of the charges against us. The court gets to presume we know the cause because we were there. Heres the trick, we are pleading to their cause which includes our intent to commit the crimes charged. Imagine what would happen if you stood firm in court (because you are truly innocent) that they must inform you of the causethis means give you enough information to understand (stand under) the charges and you keep repeating there was no intent to commit a crime and no one was harmed so this is a bogus cause and no one can enter a competent plea on a bogus cause. When the judge tries to enter a plea for you just remind the judge it is on the record that its his understanding of the cause not yours so he will have to defend his own incompetent plea. The next biggest trick is appointing a lawyer to represent you. We have the right to assistance of counsel. Representation is for those who are incompetent. Even though you are perfectly competent once a representative is assigned you just lost your voice. You are silenced and I guarantee the lawyer is going to go with the flow and not represent you. But, since the court is the only one that can fire the representative you are screwed because the lawyer gave your consent away. Stand firm on your dual rights to represent yourself and to have assistance of counsel specifically not representation. Wait for the judge to spout his/her nonsense about how good it is to have a lawyer and simply respond. Yes, as you say, the system requires expertise to navigate these days which puts it out of reach of ordinary people and outside of our constitutional consent. I move for dismissal. If there was a certain person with his own drone and a few of those hacked green laser pointers he could quite possibly conduct some drone vs. drone warfare. But even better yet, if there was a team of drone hobbyists with the lasers on them and they all ganged up on a chemtrail plane oh imagine the possibilities!!! Now if there were groups of these electronics hobbyists in all 48 continental states as well as Hawaii Alaska, aw heck, lets include the hobbyists in Canada and Mexico! Oh the possibilities! Green laser pointers hurt cams? You dont say! *enormous grin* 
3	Shocker: comparing deaths from medical drugs, vitamins, all US warsJon Rappoport And of course, the best of all possible worlds must have its enemies: the quacks who sell unproven snake oil. So lets look at some facts. As Ive been documenting for years, the medical cartel has been engaged in massive criminal fraud, presenting their drugs as safe and effective across the boardwhen, in fact, these drugs have been killing and maiming huge numbers of people, like clockwork. Ive cited the review, Is US Health Really the Best in the World?, by Dr. Barbara Starfied (Journal of the American Medical Association, July 26, 2000), in which Starfield reveals the American medical system kills 225,000 people per year106,000 as a direct result of pharmaceutical drugs. Ive now found another study, published in the same Journal, two years earlier: April 15, 1998; Incidence of Adverse Drug Reactions in Hospitalized Patients. It, too, is mind-boggling. Every year, in the US, between 76,000 and 137,000 hospitalized patients die as a direct result of the drugs. Beyond that, every year 2.2 million hospitalized patients experience serious adverse reactions to the drugs. The authors write: Our study on ADRs [Adverse Drug Reactions], which excludes medication errors, had a different objective: to show that there are a large number of ADRs even when the drugs are properly prescribed and and administered. So this study had nothing to do with doctor errors, nurse errors, or improper combining of drugs. And it only counted people killed who were admitted to hospitals. It didnt begin to tally all the people taking pharmaceuticals who died as consequence of the drugs, without being admitted to hospitals. I found the link to this study at the Dr. Rath Health Foundation, in the middle of a very interesting article by Dr. Aleksandra Niedzwiecki: Commentary on the Safety of Vitamins. Here are two key quotes from her article: In 2010, not one single person [in the US] died as a result of taking vitamins (Bronstein, et al, (2011) Clinical Toxical, 49 (10), 910-941). In 2004, the deaths of 3 people [in the US] were attributed to the intake of vitamins. Of these, 2 persons were said to have died as a result of megadoses of vitamins D and E, and one person as a result of an overdose of iron and fluoride. Data from: Toxic Exposure Surveillance System 2004, Annual Report, Am. Assoc. of Poison Control Centers. Summing up: The FDA and its quack-buster allies go after vitamins, demean unproven remedies, and generally take every possible opportunity to warn people about alternatives, on the basis that they arent scientifically supported. Meanwhile, the very drugs these mobsters are promoting, and certifying as safe and effective, are killing and maiming people at a staggering rate. The masses are treated to non-stop PR on the glories of the US medical system. In the Wikipedia entry, US military casualties of war, the grand total of all military deaths in the history of this country, starting with the Revolutionary War, is 1,312,612. In any given 10 years of modern medical treatment? 2,250,000 deaths (Starfield). Consider how much suppression is necessary to keep the latter number under wraps.

3	Govt Pays Millions in Reparations to 57 Victims of Worst Cop in History Who Still Receives a PensionBy Andrew Emett Between 1972 and 1991, Chicago Police Commander Jon Burge and his men tortured hundreds of people to extract forced confessions from them. Up to 200 torture victims have accused Burge of using cattle prods on their genitals, plastic bags to cause suffocation, phone books to strike their heads, burning them on radiators, and forcing guns into their mouths during interrogations. Suspended from the department in 1991, Burge was fired two years later after the Police Department Review Board ruled that he had tortured hundreds of people. In 1973, Burge and his men arrested Anthony Holmes before torturing him at the police station. After hooking him up to an electrical box and placing a bag over his head, the officers repeatedly electrocuted Holmes until forcing a false homicide confession from him. Holmes spent 30 years in prison for a murder that he did not commit because Burge tortured a confession out of him instead of tracking down the real killer. Due to the fact that the Cook County District Attorneys Office and the Chicago Police Department both turned a blind eye to Burges human rights violations, the statute of limitations allowed him to get away with torturing 200 people. During his two decades on the force, Burge received 13 commendations and a letter of praise from the Department of Justice before his termination. In October 2008, the Justice Department finally charged Burge with two counts of obstruction of justice and one count of perjury. Because U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald could not charge him with 20 years of torture, Burge was eventually convicted of providing false statements in a civil lawsuit alleging his use of torture. Although he was sentenced to four and a half years in federal prison, Burge continues to collect his $4,000 monthly pension from the city. Last spring, the City Council agreed to make Chicago the nations first major city to pay reparations 44 years after the first known instance of torture committed by Burge and his men. After Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced the creation of a $5.5 million city fund for Burges victims, the former police commander condemned the decision by stating, I find it hard to believe that the citys political leadership could even contemplate giving Reparations to human vermin. On Monday, 57 of Burges torture victims each received $100,000 from the city of Chicago. Since a few victims had already received previous settlements, those amounts were deducted from their shares. Family members of deceased Burge victims were ineligible for financial reparations but were still eligible for non-financial reparations, including prioritized access to senior care services, health services, job training, small business assistance, and specialized counseling services. Besides formally apologizing and paying the reparations, the city has also agreed to begin teaching students about Burges legacy of corruption in Chicagos public schools. Beginning this school year, eighth- and tenth-grade students will examine Burges crimes in U.S. History in regards to police brutality and the violation of constitutional rights. Instead of showing an ounce of competence, Burge and his officers forced confessions out of innocent people resulting in numerous overturned convictions. Although he failed to protect the streets of Chicago, Burge did inadvertently cause many police departments to adopt the policy of mandated video interrogations. Although most government employees are not required to wear cameras and record their actions, cops have proven over and over again that they simply cannot be trusted. Andrew Emett writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com if the universe ended only cockroaches and pensions to cops would survive hope he has nightmares and is unable to sleep pond scum. 
3	CIA Flashback: Well Know Our Disinformation Program Is Complete When Everything the American Public Believes Is False.Melissa Melton That creepy quote above has been widely attributed to Former CIA Director William Casey. Casey was the 13th CIA Director from 1981 until he left in January 1987. He died not long after of a brain tumor in May 1987. Dead men tell no tales, as they say. But did William Casey really say this quote? The quote itself has been passed around extensively on the Internet, and some people claim Casey never really said it because the only main source it traces back to is late political researcher and radio show host Mae Brussell. Brussell was the host of the radio show Dialogue: Conspiracy. She got her start when, as a radio show guest, she questioned the official JFK assassination story and the Warren Commission Hearings by suggesting that Lee Harvey Oswald wasnt the only person involved in Kennedys murder. Perhaps the propagandized label of conspiracy theorist is the reason why people question the quote Brussell often repeated. However, Brussell is not the only person that can be attributed to this sharing quote. Someone posted this meme on Quora back in 2013 with the note, A disclaimer: I just like Quorans debunking or showing the stupidity behind some of the worst FB memes. This time, however, someone who claims to have been there when Casey said it showed up to validate the quote: I am the source for this quote, which was indeed said by CIA Director William Casey at an early February 1981 meeting of the newly elected President Reagan with his new cabinet secretaries to report to him on what they had learned about their agencies in the first couple of weeks of the administration. The meeting was in the Roosevelt Room in the West Wing of the White House, not far from the Cabinet Room. I was present at the meeting as Assistant to the chief domestic policy adviser to the President. Casey first told Reagan that he had been astonished to discover that over 80 percent of the intelligence that the analysis side of the CIA produced was based on open public sources like newspapers and magazines. As he did to all the other secretaries of their departments and agencies, Reagan asked what he saw as his goal as director for the CIA, to which he replied with this quote, which I recorded in my notes of the meeting as he said it. Shortly thereafter I told Senior White House correspondent Sarah McClendon, who was a close friend and colleague, who in turn made it public. Barbara Honegger Not only does Honegger claim he said it, but apparently he said it in response to what he saw as his goal as CIA Director! This statement was further backed by an email posted by Quora user Greg Smith from Honegger regarding the quote which is consistent and apparently prompted her to tell the story above: The year 1981 was an interesting one for Director Casey. He just so happened to be under investigation and fighting to keep his new job over various seedy dealings that came to light; among them were claims he approved a plan to overthrow Libyas Moammar Qaddafi to install a shadow government. (Oh I know, our government would never do that, would they?) The agencys plan, according to an article in the July 27, 1981 Gettysburg Times, involved toppling Qaddafi via what else? Disinfo: Newsweek Magazine reported the covert operation was designed to overthrow Khadafy through a disinformation campaign to embarrass him, creation of a counter government to challenge his leadership and a paramilitary campaign. (Wow. A lot of that sounds eerily familiar 2011, anyone?) And who else does Anderson specifically call out in this disinfo campaign but new CIA Director William Casey: Now along comes Bill Casey, the doddering CIA director, with the argument that the government has the right to mislead the public by planting phony stories in the press. Oh really? So the good director not only talked about his disinformation campaign but actually argued for the governmentsright to wage it against the American people? The plan involved getting around the ban on CIA operations on domestic soil by planting disinfo stories in foreign news outlets that were routinely picked up by American mainstream media agencies. Anderson also points out the various rumors and false stories going around surrounding the goings on in Libya at the time The bottom line here is, if anyone in our government was going to make the above disinformation statement and specifically in 1981, all available evidence points to no better person who would have likely said it than Casey. Finally on an aside, there seems to be this mission lately to memory hole quotes or muddy the water about who said what and change history. In this particular instance, someone who was there when William Casey said the line in question and claims to have literally heard the words come out of the mans mouth with her own ears as he said it is vouching that this quote is true. Then again, this is the same agency on record behind the governments MKUltra mind control program, an illegal project in which the CIA experimented on Americans for over two decades (that we know about) to manipulate mental states and brain function with everything from drugs to microwaves the kind of stuff DARPA is openly working on today all of which makes the piddly quote in question here seem like mere childs play by comparison. Even so, people still went into the Quora thread afterwards to claim with absolutely no evidence whatsoever as they were not personally there the quote is false. So, in a bitter twist of the saddest irony possible, it would seem the contents of the quote itself are also true. Melissa Melton is a co-founder of TruthstreamMedia.com, where this first appeared.

Weve seen beheadings and recordings threats. Thankfully, a new video shows us something different for a changeand thats justice. A short clip that has been gaining traction shows a group of men standing in the alleyway, as their friend prepares to fire an RPG. However, there are appears to be a delayed ignition to the rocket, and it doesnt immediately take off. Suddenly, the rocket is seen firing straight into the wall in front of him, killing the man instantly. Watch the video and tell us what you think. Please be aware, the content is violent. 
2	Rape Victim From Clintons Past Speaks For 1st Time... Drops Bombshell About Chelsea According to reports, a former rape victim named Kathy Shelton has just come forward with a statement about Hillary Clinton that raises some serious questions about her character. Shelton was raped in 1975, when she was just 12 years old. Clinton defended the rapist while she was doing legal aid work at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. Audio tapes obtained from a 1980 interview show Clinton explaining how she was able to seize on loopholes in the case and minimize the sentence of the rapist. She also boasted that she was able to negotiate a plea deal that resulted in just one year in county jail and four years probation. I just want to know, youve got a daughter and a grandbaby, Shelton addressed Clinton, years later. What happens if that daughter of yours, if that would have been her? You would have protected her, Shelton insisted. You dont know me, so Im a piece of crap to you. Who cares about me, as long as you can win your first case as an attorney? This revelation is especially damning, given that Clinton claims to be an advocate for children and women. Yet at the time Shelton was attempting to get justice, Clinton went as far as to question her mental stability. We understand that defense attorneys have a duty to protect their client, and sometimes their clients can be pretty disgusting. But that doesnt give Clinton the right to laugh about letting a child rapist walk free. Its clear she will say and do anything to win. Watch the full interview below and tell us what you think. Does Hillary need to be kept far away from the White House? 
1	Red Sox infielder Kevin Youkilis reportedly prevented everyone on the team bus from sleeping Monday when he loudly described in disgusting detail the elasticity and mucus secretions of his girlfriend's vagina. 'Man, she was pretty hot and bothered, because I'd been stirring up her soup for a while,' said Youkilis, adding that her neatly trimmed pubic hair and thighs, as well as their sheets, were all soaked in 'pussy juice.' 'She's a squirter, so her vag was pretty much a fountain by the time I started fisting. She was so slick, I had to put on a batting glove to get some traction.' Pitcher Clay Buchholz said he has not slept since last Wednesday, when Youkilis went on about the 'foul smell of dried semen that collects in your belly button.' 
2	Impeachment Possible After Obama Commits Treasonous Act On Fourth Of July Well, at this point we can safely say that anything that it comes as no surprise when we hear that President Obama has done something completely inappropriate. However, new reports about the Obamas actions are shockingeven for him. 
1	As the U.S. continues to inch toward war with Iraq, a jealous and frustrated North Korea is wondering what it has to do to attract American military attention. Kim Jong Il. 'What does it take to get a few F-16s or naval warships deployed to the Yellow Sea?' North Korean president Kim Jong Il asked Monday. 'In the past month and a half, we've expelled U.N. nuclear inspectors, withdrawn from the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, restarted a mothballed nuclear complex capable of producing weapons-grade plutonium, and threatened to resume missile tests. You'd think that would be enough to get a measly Marine division or two on standby in the Pacific, but apparently not.' Kim said his nation is 'way more deserving' of B-52 deployment than Iraq. 'Bush says his number one priority is eliminating weapons of mass destruction, but he sure doesn't act that way,' Kim said. 'Iraq may have weapons of mass destruction and may be developing more. The DPRK, on the other hand, does have weapons of mass destruction and isn't about to stop making them any time soon.' 'Can I be any more clear?' Kim continued. 'We have nuclear bombs and delivery methods. Kablooey! There goes Anchorage! But does Bush care? Nopehe just goes on about how we're 'a diplomatic issue, not a military one.' If he even mentions us at all, that is.' 'It's like I don't even exist,' Kim added. In the nine years since coming to power, Kim has earned a reputation as a megalomaniac and tyrant, interring dissenters in camps, living in opulence while his citizens starve, and calling members of the North Korean navy 'human bombs.' In spite of such actions, he has failed to provoke the ire of the U.S. After years spent trying to antagonize the U.S., relations between North Korea and America finally showed signs of deterioration in 2002, when, during his State of the Union address, President Bush accused the Asian nation of being part of an international 'Axis of Evil.' The provocative words, Kim said, sent his hopes of a military standoff with the U.S. skyrocketing. U.S. Marines that could be marching on Pyongyang engage in drills in the Persian Gulf. 'When Bush named us as part of his Axis of Evil, I was so happy,' Kim said. 'I thought to myself, 'This is it. We are finally going to have a military conflict with this two-faced hyena.' He'd been ignoring me so long, I really didn't think he cared.' Still, Kim's hopes for a U.S.-North Korea crisis quickly faded as Bush began to focus all of his energies on Axis of Evil member Iraq. In October 2002, Kim made yet another attempt to anger the U.S., admitting to enriching uranium in violation of a 1994 accord. The admission, however, did not produce the desired escalation in hostility. Kim said he has not given up on attracting U.S. military attention, vowing to invade South Korea if necessary. 'I am by no means ready to quit, but this is very frustrating,' Kim said. 'I guess if your name's not Saddam, you're not worthy of America's hatred.' 'Everyone in my country refers to me as 'Dear Leader.' Is that not disturbingly cultish?'Kim continued. 'I do not understand why President Bush is so much more interested in Saddam than me. I'm a strange, despotic, unpredictable madman, too, you know.' 
2	Celebrity Rapper Puff Daddy Turns 10,000s Of African Americans Against Obama By Saying THIS Even Obamas supporters are turning on him. Thats how you know he has failed as our president. Obama gave hope to the African American community that he would bring change. Puff Daddy is telling him straight that he failed miserably. He said in an interview that We got Obama into office, the give back, the deal, where are the things in our community that have gotten drastically better? Breitbart The black unemployment rate is still two times as high as the white unemployment rate. Obama did not keep good on his promise to his constituents. He lied, and about much more than just helping out the African American community. Do you agree that Obama has failed our country? 
3	TV Propaganda And The Mind Control CultureSARTRE With the proliferation of cable channels and 24 hour programming, the landscape of TV addiction vastly impacts perception and dramatically excludes normal interpersonal relations. Melissa Melton cites the following in her article, TV: Your Mind. Controlled. According to last years Nielsen report, the average American over the age of two years old watches more than 34 hours of television per week, plus at least three more hours of taped programming. The report also noted that the amount of time we spend watching television increases as we get older. This overwhelming intrusion into and over personal time and space are often called entertainment. Broadcasts that bill themselves as news or business shows claim to provide useful information. Sport coverage makes no pretense of presenting socially significant content. Yet, vast segments of the public are wrapped up in the childish exercise of false hero adoration. Televisions reporting on politics is miserable by any coherent standard of journalism. The business of television has little to do with an accurate chronicle of events or the meaning of decisions and actions. In order to understand the objectives of the content producers and the basic purpose behind the cultural soothsayers, a review of Mind Control Theories and Techniques used by Mass Media, which is a well documented source that outlines how the mass media really operates, is useful. Examine the specifics and draw your own lessons. Mass media is the most powerful tool used by the ruling class to manipulate the masses. It shapes and molds opinions and attitudes and defines what is normal and acceptable. This article looks at the workings of mass media through the theories of its major thinkers, its power structure and the techniques it uses, in order to understand its true role in society. Lippmann, Bernays and Lasswell have all declared that the public are not fit to decide their own fate, which is the inherent goal of democracy. Instead, they called for a cryptocracy, a hidden government, a ruling class in charge of the bewildered herd. As their ideas continue to be applied to society, it is increasingly apparent that an ignorant population is not an obstacle that the rulers must deal with: It is something that is DESIRABLE and, indeed, necessary, to insure total leadership. An ignorant population does not know its rights, does not seek a greater understanding of issues and does not question authorities. It simply follows trends. Popular culture caters to and nurtures ignorance by continually serving up brain-numbing entertainment and spotlighting degenerate celebrities to be idolized. Many people ask me: Is there a way to stop this? Yes, there is. STOP BUYING THEIR CRAP AND READ A BOOK. Such a sensible solution as turning off the misinformation screen is not an option for most of the typical dullards that think of themselves as normal and informed citizens. Society is populated with marginally functional and enthusiastic compliant serfs. Contentment is judged by actions not merely by sentiment. An unquestioning and obedient populace perpetually distracted from serious issues and unaware of comprehending the linkage and ultimate aims behind world events, has always been the goal. The most profound use of these media techniques usually deal with War Peace: Media and War. Stanford University publishes this account by Johnnie Manzaria Jonathon Bruck, Medias Use of Propaganda to Persuade Peoples Attitude, Beliefs and Behaviors. Propaganda is so powerful because everyone is susceptible to it. This is true as explained by Robert Cialdini, an expert in influence, because people exist in a rapidly moving and complex world. In order to deal with it, we need shortcuts. We cannot be expected to recognize and analyze all the aspects in each person, event, and situation we encounter in even one day. We do not have the time, energy, or capacity to process the information; and instead we must very often use our stereotypes, our rules of thumb, to classify things according to a few key features and then to respond without thinking when one or another of these trigger feature are present (Cialdini 6). While this makes people highly susceptible to a propagandist who understands persuasion, in general it is the most efficient form of behaving, and in other cases it is simply necessary. Additionally, propaganda includes the reinforcement of societal myths and stereotypes that are so deeply embedded within a culture that it is often difficult to recognize the message as propaganda. The attitude that such practices are most efficient form of behaving, and in other cases it is simply necessary, is most disturbing and certainly fits the mold of how TV operates. The examples cited in this case study deal with foreign policy issues. However, the summary on How to Defend Against Propaganda, is worth a look. As a result of our increasing sophistication and to build our civilization, we have created and environment so complex, so fast-paced, and information-laden, that we must increasingly deal with it in the fashion of the animals we long ago transcended. Thus, from the case studies on how the media uses propaganda, we can understand that the media does more than presentation facts and information. The media has the ability to exploit persuasive tactics to the specific definition of propaganda: the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person. Now ponder the disclaimer from this academia project: We are not advocating that propaganda is wrong; we have tried to show, that overall it is usually helpful to respond to messages mindlessly, and that the truly only way to defend against it is to be more aware of the tactics being used. Also referenced in this study is Phil Zimbardo. 1) Be aware of the general perspective that others use to frame the problem or issue at hand, because accepting their frame on their terms gives them a powerful advantage. 2) Be sensitive to situational demands however trivial they may seem: group norms, group pressures, symbols of authority, slogans, and commitments. Dont believe in simple solutions to complex personal, social, and political problems. 3) In the end, it must be remembered that it is not enough to dissent vocally one must be willing to disobey, to defy, to challenge, and to suffer any ensuing consequences of these actions. Relate this thinking to the television broadcasts and series that occupy the gratuitous viewing of the general-public. It may be functionally realistic not to expect current event discernment from the mediocre crowd, but what motivates these distraction deprived viewers from absorbing the brainwashing message? Escape from reality probably is the most adept answer. Nonetheless, the dependency on relinquishing individual responsibility and living under the principle of personal integrity is too difficult for most. The easy way out is to believe the junk fed from the TV screen. Newspeak has become the dominant culture and TV is the chief vehicle for spreading the lies and deceit. Jack Blood provides a succinct summary in, TV = Mind Control (Why do you think they call it Programming?) Once again the system is at work, knowing how easy it is to control the minds of a dumbed down population that has been well trained, and some might say socially engineered, to never question authority, never think outside the box, never seek accountability and never think for itself. Easily manipulated, millions of people are conditioned to believe, from a very early age, that anything emanating from television is sacrosanct. Thus, everything they watch is reality and anything they hear is truth. Anchors and reporters become trusted personalities voicing reticent opinions whose veracity are seldom, if ever, questioned. The Establishment has perfected its machination of propaganda, creating the realities it wants into society, forming whatever truth that will be of the greatest benefit, not to society, but to itself. Whatever reality it wants to create and disseminate is quickly absorbed by a population eager to feed off the mammary glands of television. The Establishment, the corporate world and government have for years told us how and what to think, how to act, who to obey and where to follow, condemning our minds to obedience, our lives to conformism and silent acquiescence. Is it not time to make a clean break from this self-induced imprisonment of images and sounds that spills out of the television machine?

3	Washington Signals Dollar Deep ConcernsPaul Craig Roberts Quantitative Easing is the term given to the Federal Reserves policy of printing 1,000 billion new dollars annually in order to finance the US budget deficit by purchasing US Treasury bonds and to keep the prices high of debt-related derivatives on the banks too big to fail (BTBF) balance sheets by purchasing mortgage-backed derivatives. Without QE, interest rates would be much higher, and values on the banks balance sheets would be much lower. Quantitative Easing has been underway since December 2008. During these 54 months, the Federal Reserve has created several trillion new dollars with which the Fed has monetized the same amount of debt. One result of this policy is that most real US interest rates are negative. Another result is that the supply of dollars has outstripped the worlds demand for dollars. These two results are the reason that the Federal Reserves policy of printing money with which to purchase Treasury bonds and mortgage backed derivatives threatens the dollars exchange value and, thus, the dollars role as world reserve currency. To be the world reserve currency means that the dollar can be used to pay any and every countrys oil bills and trade deficit. The dollar is the medium of international payment. This is very helpful to the US and is the main source of US power. Because the dollar is the reserve currency, the US can cover its import costs and pay for its cost of operation simply by creating its own paper money. The threats to the dollar are alternative moniescurrencies that are not being created in enormous quantities, gold and silver, and Bitcoins, a digital currency. The Bitcoin threat was eliminated on May 17 when the Gestapo Department of Homeland Security seized Bitcoins accounts. The excuse was that Bitcoin had failed to register in keeping with the US Treasurys anti-money laundering requirements. Washington has stifled the threat from other currencies by convincing other large currencies to out-print the dollar. Japan has complied, and the European Central Bank, though somewhat constrained by Germany, has entered the printing mode in order to bail out the private banks endangered by the sovereign debt crisis. That leaves gold and silver. The enormous increase in the prices of gold and silver over the last decade convinced Washington that there are a number of miscreants who do not trust the dollar and whose numbers must not be permitted to increase. The price of gold rose from $272 an ounce in December 2000 to $1,917.50 on August 23, 2011. The financial gangsters who own and run America panicked. With the price of the dollar collapsing in relation to historical real money, how could the dollars exchange rate to other currencies be valid? If the dollars exchange value came under attack, the Federal Reserve would have to stop printing and would lose control over interest rates. The bond and stock market bubbles would pop, and the interest payments on the federal debt would explode, leaving Washington even more indebted and unable to finance its wars, police state, and bankster bailouts. Something had to be done about the rising price of gold and silver. There are two bullion markets. One is a paper market in New York, Comex, where paper claims to gold are traded. The other is the physical market where personal possession is taken of the metalcoin shops, bullion dealers, jewelry stores. The way the banksters have it set up, the price of bullion is not set in the markets in which people actually take possession of the metals. The price is set in the paper market where speculators gamble. This bifurcated market gave the Federal Reserve the ability to protect the dollar from its printing press. On Friday, April 12, 2013, short sales of gold hit the New York market in an amount estimated to have been somewhere between 124 and 400 tons of gold. This enormous and unprecedented sale implies an illegal conspiracy of sellers intent on rigging the market or action by the Federal Reserve through its agents, the BTBF that are the bullion banks. The enormous sales of naked shorts drove down the gold price, triggering stop-loss orders and margin calls. The attack continued on Monday, April 15, and has continued since. Before going further, note that there are position limits imposed on the number of contracts that traders can sell at one time. The 124 tons figure would have required 14 traders with no open interest on the exchange to sell all together in the same few minutes 40,000 futures contracts. The likelihood of so many traders deciding to short at the same moment at the maximum permitted is not believable. This was an attack ordered by the Federal Reserve, which is why there is no investigation of the illegality. Note also that no seller that wanted out of a position would give himself a low price by dumping an enormous amount all at once unless the goal was not profit but to smash the bullion price. Since the April 12-15 attack on the gold price, subsequent attacks have occurred at 2pm Hong Kong time and 2 am New York time. At this time activity is light, waiting on London to begin operating. As William S.Kaye has observed, no entity concerned about profits would choose this time to sell 20,000 to 30,000 futures contracts, but this is what has been happening. Who can be unconcerned with losing money in this way? Only a central bank that can print it. Now we come to the physical market where people take possession of bullion instead of betting on paper instruments. Look at this chart from ZeroHedge. The demand for physical possession is high, despite the assault on gold that began in 2011, but as the price is set in the non-real paper market, orchestrated short sales, as in the current quarter of 2013, can drive down the price regardless of the fact that the actual demand for gold and silver cannot be met. While the corrupt Western financial press urges people to abandon bullion, everyone is trying to purchase more, and the premiums above the spot price have risen. Around the world there is a shortage of gold and silver in the forms, such as one-ounce coins and ten-ounce bars, that individuals demand. That the decline in gold and silver prices is an orchestration is apparent from the fact that the demand for bullion in the physical market has increased while naked short sales in the paper market imply a flight from bullion. What does this illegal manipulation of markets by the Federal Reserve tell us? It tells us that the Federal Reserve sees no way out of printing money in order to support the federal deficit and the insolvent banks. If the dollar came under attack and the Federal Reserve had to stop printing dollars, interest rates would rise. The bond and stock markets would collapse. The dollar would be abandoned as reserve currency. Washington would no longer be able to pay its bills and would lose its hegemony. The world of hubristic Washington would collapse. It remains to be seen whether Washington can prevail over the world demand for gold and silver. Can the dollar remain supreme when offshoring has deprived the US of the ability to cover its imports with exports? Can the dollar remain supreme when the Federal reserve is creating 1,000 billion new ones each year, while the BRICS, China and Japan, China and Australia, and China and Russia are making deals to settle their trade balances without the use of the dollar? If the consumption-based US economy deprived of consumer income by jobs offshoring takes a further dip down in the third or fourth quartera downturn that cannot be masked by phony statistical releasesthe federal deficit will rise. What will be the effect on the dollar if the Federal Reserve has to increase its Quantitative Easing? A perfect storm has been prepared for America. Real interest rates are negative, but debt and money are being created hand over foot. The dollars demise awaits the worlds decision how to get out of it. The Federal Reserve can print dollars with which to keep the bond and stock markets high, but the Federal Reserve cannot print foreign currencies with which to keep the dollar afloat. When the dollar goes, Washingtons power goes, which is why the bullion market is rigged. Protect the power. That is the agenda. Is it another Washington over-reach?

2	Obama Wants To Put Oprah Winfreys Face On The New Dollar Bill Recently, a young girls letter to President Obama has been making headlines, sparking a heated debate online. The President first mentioned the letter during a speech he delivered in Kansas City, Missouri. According to him, the letter detailed a list of potential female candidates to have their face printed on coins and bills. According to Obama, that was a pretty good idea. Not long after his comment, the discussion became a hot topic online, and New York Magazine decided to post a $20 bill with Oprahs face on it. The New Republic, on the other hand, place Harriet Tubman on a $100 bill. Even popular music sensation Beyonces face made it onto a bill. Lets keep in mind that if any of these were actually put to use, it would not, in fact, be the first time that a womans face was used on U.S. currency. According to records, in 1886 the $1 silver certificate featured the profile of Martha Washington. And the face of Sacagawea is still on the front of the golden dollar. What do you think? Is the online debate ridiculous? Does Oprah deserve to be on a $20 bill? 
3	ISIS working with Turkish militaryBy Brandon Turbeville The Turkish paper has published new transcripts of telephone conversations between Turkish military officers and ISIS/jihadist fighters. These documents allegedly stem from a court case currently moving through the Turkish judicial system in the Ankara 3rd High Criminal Court relating to the Islamic State. The investigation apparently began when six Turkish citizens reported to law enforcement officials that their family members had joined ISIS. Around 19 people were monitored as a result and 27 individuals were charged. Cumhuriyet published the first batch of documents in December, 2015 which were subsequently reported by the independent and alternative media in the West. These new transcripts, however, are supposed to be conversations between Turkish military officers and Mustafa Demir, a leading ISIS figure based near the Syrian-Turkish border. As Cumhuriyet writes, The transcripts and the documents in the investigation revealed that Demir received money from smugglers at the border and cooperated with the officers as far as [border] crossings are concerned. RT provides a sample of some of the interactions between Demir and Turkish military officers: In the first transcript, translated into English by Todays Zaman, Demir is talking to a Turkish military officer. [] where are you, big brother? At the place where I told you to be? Yeah. We also saw you, your men Is it possible for you to arrange that I talk with the commander here, regarding the business here? What if we could establish a contact here as we helped you Okay [] Ill pass this now. I have two military posts there. If the worst comes to the worst, Ill tell that to the commander of the station and have him take a look In another transcript, Demir allegedly talks with another Turkish officer, who says that he and his comrades are in the minefield and calls Demir to come to him immediately. We have stuff; come here from that side, the men are here, the transcript says. Okay, big brother, [Im] comingIs it [the mine field] the place where I gave First Lieutenant Burak a car? Demir reportedly answers. Interestingly enough, Demir also has alleged ties to ISIS leader Ilhami Bali, who is connected to bombings inside Ankara in October. Cumhuriyet has revealed a number of examples of cooperation between Turkish military and Turkish intelligence agents with ISIS militants. In May, 2015, the paper revealed that at Turkish convoy hit by an airstrike in Northwestern Syria was carrying weapons to terrorists. Cumhuriyet also reported in December that Turkish officers on the Turkey-Syria border have had contact with ISIS militants and aided in their movements across the border.

The CIA created ISIS as useful idiots, just like they did with Al Queda, so we should not be surprised that our ally is helping them. 
2	BREAKING: Two Police Officers Shot Down In Cold Blood Outside Ferguson Police Station [VIDEO] According to recent reports, two officers from different jurisdictions were shot outside of the St. Louis County Police Station on Wednesday night, amid Ferguson protests. Now, St. Louis County Police and Missouri State Highway Patrol have made the decision to take care of policing the riots moving forward. The statement was made after the officers were released this morning. Both were in serious condition before being released from Barnes Jewish Hospital, the station claimed in a Facebook post. St. Louis Police Chief Jon Belmar claimed the pair were lucky they werent killed. With both officers, we dont have any remarkable long-term injuries, Belmar concluded. One officer was struck in the shoulder while the other was shot in the face. The shooter was reportedly about 150 feet away. Ladies and gentleman, we were very close to having what happened to the NYPD. We could have buried two police officers. The shooter has not yet been arrested. President Obama responded to the event by saying, Violence against police is unacceptable. Our prayers are with the officers in MO. Path to justice is one all of us must travel together. This heinous assault on two brave law enforcement officers was inexcusable and repugnant, Attorney General Eric Holder chimed in. I condemn violence against any public safety officials in the strongest terms, and the Department of Justice will never accept any threats or violence directed at those who serve and protect our communitiesSuch senseless acts of violence threaten the very reforms that nonviolent protesters in Ferguson and around the country have been working towards for the past several months. Some would argue that the protests have been less than nonviolent so far. Still, tensions in Ferguson are at an all time high, as are arrests due to flare-ups and unrest. The shooting followed the resignation of the citys police Chief Tom Jackson. Jackson is the sixth person to be fired or forced to resign amid claims of racial bias. What do you think of the incident? Do you support our officers?

He has been very clear about his intentions to move the United States in that direction if he is elected to the White House. The Sanders campaign has captured the interest of young Americans, who are being promised things like free college and health care. Of course, many have started to wonder how Sanders intends to pay for all of the free stuff he has offered. The sum of the costs of his proposal nearly equals our national debt. The ugly truth is that many of the promises that Sanders is making would have to be funded by tax increases.

Even after apologizing for the incident, the hosts were caught off-camera making fun of Johnson once more. I would like to thank The View for reminding me to confiscate all the doctor stethoscopes, one doctor wrote, with a photo of himself with all his nurses stethoscopes. Dr. Arin Piramzadians photo has now gone viral. What do you think? Is it about time we end The View for good? 
2	What Obama Was Just Caught Doing On Video Will Destroy Him Forever [VIDEO] In the past week, Donald Trump has come under fire for comments he made about a disabled reporter. Once again, were seeing just how hypocritical liberals in this country are. Did Obama come under fire when he did nearly the exact same thing? The inconsistency was first pointed out by Sean Hannity this week, when he posted a short clip of Obama making fun of the Special Olympics. The shocking comment was originally made during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 2009. Make no mistake about it, Obama claims that watching him bowling is like being in the Special Olympics. Where is the outrage? Are you tired of Donald Trump taking heat for common missteps? 
2	Obama Just Disrespected Our Troops In The Worst Way Possible Throughout his presidency, Barack Hussein Obama has become known for taking selfies with his loyal supporters. Thats why it was absolutely outrageous when he refused to take any selfies with our servicemen and women stationed at the U.S. Marine Corps base in Iwakuni, Japan that he recently visited. According to reports, Obama even seemed hesitant to shake hands with the troops, but he drew the line at taking pictures with them. Otherwise, Ill be here all day, he commented. Thats not a great excuse. These men and women go above and beyond to risk their lives for our country, and yet their Commander in Chief cant even take the time to take a few pictures? This is an absolute disgrace, and our soldiers deserve better. They deserve a president that loves and respects them, and is willing to give a few extra minutes of his day to show his loyalty. 
1	Driving up the narrow student-only entrance ramp and plowing over speed bumps as if they were sand dunes, Robert T. Everett High's Class of 2012 thundered through their school's parking lot Monday like the coalition forces storming Baghdad. 'You ready to rock, Big Ace?' said 17-year-old senior Brian Grady, removing his sunglasses as he addressed an Aropostale-shirt-wearing Curtis Jenner, who nodded his head while hanging out the sunroof of a Hyundai Tucson as if it were an armored M1151 Humvee blasting 'Welcome To The Jungle' into the arid desert air. 'Let's do this, Double Dutch.' At press time, the 117-strong force had sprung from their vehicles and breached the school's hallways on foot, equipped with their Jansport backpacks, lunch money, and a surge of adrenaline pounding through their veins. 
3	Cyprus Postmortems: Part IIStephen Lendman Capital controls limit withdrawals, restrict non-cash transactions, freeze check cashing, and convert checking accounts into fixed-term deposits. Finance Minister Michalis Sarris signed into law a temporary decree. It caps cash withdrawals per person per bank at 300 euros. It effectively ban(s) cheques and control(s) cash outflows from the country. It permits only 1,000 euros per person to travel abroad per trip. Higher amounts require special approval. Business payments are capped at 5,000 euros per day. Others up to 200,000 euros require approval of a special four-member committee. Amounts above 200,000 require similar approval. Distributing company payrolls require supporting documents. Theyre needed for student tuition and living expenses. Theyre required to send funds to first degree relatives studying abroad. Other payments or transfer of funds require the prior approval of the committee, taking into account the liquidity buffer situation of each credit institution in question. It wont be possible to prematurely break fixed-term deposits unless the funds are used to repay a loan within the same bank. As long as capital controls remain, when fixed deposits mature, depositors will only have access to either 5,000 euros or 10 per cent of the total, depending which is higher. Theyre required to put that amount either in a current account or a new fixed-term deposit in the same bank, depending on his (or her) choice. Residual amounts will be kept in the original deposit an extra month. Financial transactions, payments or transfers not finalized before controls were instituted are subject to the same restrictions. Banks are warned not to execute cashless transfers that facilitate the circumvention of the restrictive measures. They apply to all accounts, payments and transfers regardless of currency. Exemptions include: Central Bank internal audit head, Yiangos Demetriou, said measures in place will be reviewed after four days. Expect no loosening any time soon. Whether clever lawyers and accountants find innovative exits remains to be seen. Ahead of reopening, truck loads of euro notes arrived at the Central Bank in Nicosia. They came under heavy police escort. Helicopters hovered overhead. Cash will be distributed among Cypriot commercial banks and cooperatives. Depositors be warned. Eurozone banking is irrevocably broken. Bank-held deposits no longer are safe. Eurocrat diktats can be imposed anywhere. Economics Nobel Prize recipient Christopher Pissarides said Cyprus finds not all nations are equal. He came home end of January. He helped President Nicos Anastasiades campaign. He didnt expect what happened. The way Eurocrats treated Cyprus shows that far from the currency bloc acting as a partnership of equals, it is a disjointed group of countries where the national interests of the big nations stand higher than the interests of the whole. Meanwhile, the haphazard decision-making in the eurogroup continues. It reached a new low. It casts serious doubts on the ability of this group to make the decisions to push Europe forward to financial stability and economic growth. Nicosia looks eerie. Streets are deserted. People are glued to television for late news. There is total desperation. The smiles have gone. Nothing like this ever happened before. Stories circulate about wealthy Russians and others getting overseas calls to move assets and businesses there. The future is indeed bleak. It is not clear what is coming next and from where. The Daily Telegraphs international business editor, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, headlined Cyprus has finally killed myth that EMU (EU Economic and Monetary Union) is benign. The punishment regime imposed on Cyprus is a trick against everybody involved in this squalid saga, against the Cypriot people and the German people, against savers and creditors. All are being deceived. Its not a bailout. Cyprus gets no debt relief. A potential economic death spiral looms. Capital controls shattered EMU monetary unity. A Cypriot euro is no longer a core euro. We wait to hear the first stories of shops across Europe refusing to accept euro notes issued by Cyprus, with a G in the serial number. Violating insured bank deposit security means anyones money can be stolen. Itll happen if creditor state leaders think doing sos in their best interests. Monetary union has become a danger to property. Eurogroup chief Jeroen Dijsselbloem calls it a template for future EMU rescues. (U)ninsured deposit holders can expect eventual haircuts. The Dijssel Bomb confirms creditor powers. Theyll impose them if push ever comes to shove. At the same time, the German bloc (lies) about the real cost of holding the euro together. The accord pretends to shield EMU creditor states taxpayers from future losses. The cost of Cyprus new credit line shifts to the ECB. It will have to offset the slow-motion (Cypriot) bank run with its Emergency Liquidity Assistance (ELA). Its likely to be a large amount. Much will show up on the Bundesbanks balance sheet and its peers. Itll do so through the ECBs Target2 payment nexus. Money will leak out of Cyprus unless (Eurocrats) encircle the island with razor wire. According to Jeffries Marchel Alexandrovich: In saving 5.8 billion euros, the other euro area countries will likely be on the hook for four to five times more in contingent liabilities. But, of course, the former represents real money that gives politicians a headache; the latter is monopoly central bank money. Ahead of Germanys September elections, Angela Merkel will do anything (to) disguise the true cost of the EMU project. Paul Krugman says Cyprus should leave the euro. Staying in means an incredibly severe depression. Normuras Dimitris Drakopoulos believes no one knows whats coming. The economy could go into a free fall. Cyprus lost its core industry. Its assets equal eight times GDP. Nothings there to replace it. Tourism wont work. EMU membership made it shockingly expensive. Prospective tourists wont know what to expect on arrival. Seizing money irresponsibly was an act of state madness. What happened shows EMU went off the rails. Stabilitys endangered. It should be dismantled before it destroys Europes post-war order. Southern European countries have their own crises. Their denouement will arrive when (they) conclude that recovery is a false promise (and) break free of EMUs contradictory regime. Economist Yanis Varoufakis addressed The Good, the Bad and the Extremely Ugly (Aspects of the Cyprus Deal). The latter two way outweigh the former. The Memorandum of Understanding hasnt been presented. The deal is utterly incomplete. Its unknown what degree and type of austerity will be imposed upon a collapsing social economy. Its almost certain to be an austerian package bound to crush weaker Cypriots. Wiping out foreign depositors will devastate Cypriot banking and tourism. Transferring 9 billion of ELA money from Laiki Bank to the Bank of Cyprus flies in the face of basic banking resolution principles. Doing so reflects Eurocrat tyranny. Its unclear how capital controls will be implemented. Its uncertain theyll work. Cypriot euros are no longer exportable. Restricting them to Cyprus flies in the face of monetary union. Eurocrat demands are exceptionally ugly. They jeopardized sacrosanct deposit insurance guarantees. They compromised Eurozone integrity. They sacrifice(d) the (EUs) single market principle according to which capital controls are verboten. The ugliest part of the deal exposes the illusion of genuine Eurozone-wide banking union. Dijsselbloem said so in no uncertain terms. The combination of (a) the denial of the need to effect public debt consolidation, (b) the derailing of a meaningful banking union and (c) the heavy-handedness with which Cyprus was treated over the past week, spell a new, uglier, state of affairs in Europe. Eurocrats spurned unifying moves. They chose authoritarian/divisive ones instead. Doing so pushes Eurozone countries in precisely the opposite direction to that dictated by political and economic sustainability. I would not be surprised if what happened doesnt reflect a major turning point. It may become the moment in history when Europe moved beyond the pale. It might have been worse. Cyprus state broadcaster CyBC said German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble proposed a 40% haircut on all deposits. Realistically, he added, very little will be returned. Euro expert Bernard Connolly looks prescient. Before its introduction, he predicted the euros failure. He called it a harebrained idea doomed to fail. He said one or more of Europes weakest countries would face rising deficits, troubled economies, and a downward spiral from which there is no escape unaided. When that happens, the country concerned will be faced with a risk of sovereign default. It only remains for it to happen. Expect perhaps eventual EMU collapse.

2	Muslim Employee Targets Costco After They Make HUGE Stand Against Islam According to recent reports, Jean Camara, a Muslim man, applied to Costco knowing that they sell alcohol and pork products in the store. When he was offered a job managing the pork conveyor belt, he refused. Costco did not fight the complaint, and immediately transferred Camara to another department where he would be collecting shopping carts from the parking lot rather than dealing with pork, which is strictly forbidden by Islam. Unfortunately, Camara wasnt happy with that decision either, viewing it as a demotion. When he asked his supervisors if he could be transferred once again, they refused. After nearly two weeks of complaining about the incident, Camara was fired from his job at Costco. Now, Camara is claiming that he was fired for being Muslim. Just because you have a different belief, that doesnt give anybody the right to treat you different, Camara told reporters of the incident. We all share different beliefs so we all should be treated equally no matter what belief we have. Of course, Camara neglects to recognize his role in the incident. He does not acknowledge the fact that Costco was actually understanding and accommodating of his needs. What do you think of Camaras complaints? 
2	Melania Trump Just Got Some Horrible News... She Needs Your Support As First Lady, Melania Trump will become the official head of the Girl Scouts in a role that is purely ceremonial and involves just a few photo shoots and speeches. However, Heatst reported that achange.org petition was just made by a former Girl Scouts member calling for Melania to be banned from the Girl Scouts forever. The petition is extremely offensive and sexist, as itfocuses on Melanias modeling career and the fact she has posed nude in the past: Melania Trumps actions and behaviors are the complete opposite of Girl Scout values: Shesupports objectifying women by posing in the nude for GQ and Max Magazines. She promotes sex and violence against women by posing in the nude wearing handcuffs and by posing next to the Trump jet while clad in a g-string and brandishing a hand gun. Melania Trump promotes lying by saying on several occasions that she earned a college degree, when in truth she dropped out of college in her freshman year. She promotes plagiarism by giving national campaign speeches for her husband that were essentiallyverbatim past speeches of famous women, but claimed they were her own words. The wording is incredibly offensive and sexist to say the least. This is absolutely abhorrent.

2	Federal Judge BLASTS Obama DOJ In Front Of The Entire World Over Lying About Immigration Policy According to recent reports, US District Judge Andrew Hanen has come forward with claims that DOJ lawyers knowingly lied to court about the fact that the Department of Homeland Security began immediately implementing Obamas directive in November 2014 without the approval of Congress. The measure approved about 100,000 applications in DACA and DAPA cases after illegal immigrants crossed out border. When Obama announced his controversial executive actions that would allow an estimated 5 million undocumented immigrants to obtain work permits and avoid deportation, the nation was up in arms. 26 states, led by Texas, joined together to challenge his unconstitutional actions and fled a lawsuit against him. The case was heard by Judge Hanen, who ruled in favor of the 26 states in February, issuing an order to block implantation of the actions. That ruling was appealed, and the matter made its way all the way up to the Supreme Court. After the Judge made his ruling, it was revealed that DOJ attorneys at the highest level had lied to the court and the states during the preliminary hearing. In one of the most embarrassing rulings of all time, Judge Hanen ordered lying Government lawyers to take remedial ethics classes. What do you think? Are Obamas and his buddies a complete embarrassment to the United States? 
1	The highly complex intra-office power dynamic at the accounting firm of Adams, Fitzhugh & Associates shifted dramatically Tuesday, when a $229 Futura EZ-Roll office chair was delivered to the cubicle of Henry Rozema. The deluxe new chair, ordered to replace a broken one, stands a full two inches higher than that of co-worker Bill Kraft and, unlike Kraft's chair, features such options as a fingertip-controlled pneumatic height adjuster, customized swivel/tilt controls, a five-blade base with dual-wheel casters, and a leather-upholstered ergonomic backrest. 'This radically alters the elaborate, ongoing power struggle between Henry and Bill,' office manager Brenda Rutt said. 'As partner Willard Haines' retirement draws ever closer, Henry and Bill's desire to replace him only grows stronger, and this striking, option-packed piece of office furniture gives Henry a substantial psychological edge.' 
3	Brave New YearWe can, if we so desire, refuse to cooperate with the blind forces that are propelling us. Aldous Huxley So here we are, moving into 2014. And no doubt with that sense of expectancy and promise which comes with all New Years. But maybe also with that nagging sense which has its foundation in the fact that the previous year may not have quite lived up to expectations? For example all those events both cosmic and earthly that were supposed to have caused some grand disruption to the abysmal status quo and its dumbed down daily grind what happened to them? How is it that even the widely predicted great financial collapse has so far managed to stall and its proponents prophesies likewise put on hold? Even visiting comets seem to have been unable to pull-off a much hoped for mighty upheaval to the sterile patterns imposed upon the human race. Consequently, the relentless bankster/government top-down squeeze on both the economic viability and civil liberties of working men and women, continues unabated. So now might just be the right time to do a reality check on hopes and expectations for 2014. To help ground our aspirations and expectations, I would like to draw-on a lessen from history concerning the ever illusive ebb and flow in the tides of man. In endeavouring to do this, I am putting together a number of prescient quotes from Aldous Huxleys last major piece of writing Brave New World Revisited. This work was published in 1958 thats fifty six years ago and yet it remains as starkly resonant today as it must have appeared back then for anyone who had ears to hear. We will be reminded, at a glance, just how well laid are the foundations of the seemingly impenetrable oligarchy that still holds the majority of humanity under its spell to this day; just how deep is the quagmire that has sucked so many into its oozing grasp; just how steeped in delusion remains the greater part of the human population. Huxley: ..Many sociologists and psychologists have written at length and with deep concern, about the price that Western man has had to pay and will go on paying for technological progress. They point out, for example, that democracy can hardly be expected to flourish in societies where political and economic power is being progressively concentrated and centralized. But the progress of technology has lead, and is still leading, to just such concentration of power. As the machinery of mass-production is being made more efficient it tends to become more complex and more expensive and so less available to the enterpriser of limited means. Moreover, mass production cannot work without mass distribution; but mass distribution raises problems which only the largest producers can satisfactorily solve. In a World of mass production and mass consumption the Little Man, with his inadequate stock of working capitol, is at a grave disadvantage. In competition with the Big Man, he loses his money and finally his very existence as an independent producer; the Big Man has gobbled him up. As the Little Men disappear, more and more economic power comes to be wielded by fewer and fewer people. Well isnt that exactly what we witness today at the hands of the Walmarts, Unilevers and Monsantos of this world? Yet Huxley clearly recognizes that this trend was well under-way in the early 1950s and that the Little Man was already under the cosh of an increasingly centralised corporate cabal which threatened to crush him completely. What he did not add at least here was the equally crushing level of environmental pollution and destruction that was to accompany the progress of this vast corporate machine. We see then, that modern technology has led to the concentration of economic and political power, and to the development of a society controlled (ruthlessly in the totalitarian states, politely and inconspicuously in the democracies) by Big Business and Big Government. But societies are composed of individuals and are good only so far as they help individuals to realize their potentialities and to lead a happy and fruitful life. How have individuals been affected by the technological advances of recent years? The answer to this question is provided here by respected philosopher-psychiatrist, Dr Erich Fromm: Our contemporary Western Society, in spite of its material, intellectual and political progress, is increasingly less conducive to mental health, and tends to undermine the inner security, happiness, reason and capacity for love in the individual; it tends to turn him into an automaton who pays for his human failure with increasing mental sickness, and with despair hidden under a frantic drive for work and so-called pleasure . Let us beware of defining mental hygiene as the prevention of symptoms. Symptoms as such are not our enemy, but our friend; where there are symptoms there is conflict, and conflict always indicates that the forces of life which strive for integration and happiness are still fighting. Huxley adds that the really hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal and Fromm continues Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does. In other words, continues Huxley They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted, still cherish the illusion of individuality but in fact they have been to a great extent de-individualized. Their conformity is developing into something like uniformity. Fromm ends this passage by stating Uniformity and freedom are incompatible. Uniformity and mental health are incompatible too man is not made to be an automaton, and if he becomes one, the basis for mental health is destroyed. Huxley then makes a particularly salient statement In the course of evolution nature has gone to endless trouble to see that every individual is unlike every other individual. We reproduce our kind by bringing the fathers genes into contact with the mothers. These hereditary factors may be combined in an almost infinite number of ways. Physically and mentally, each one of us is unique. Any culture which, in the interests of efficiency or in the name of some political or religious dogma, seeks to standardize the human individual, commits an outrage against mans biological nature. How similar this is to Krishnamurtis observation: It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. Fromm (with whom I had a short correspondence circa 1980) saw how the capacity for love was being strangled by the machine like advances of the age of consumerism, citing the frenetic drive for work as one of the classic escapist symptoms of those most unwilling to explore the true source of their problems. The searing truth which emerges from all this is inescapable it hits us like a ton of wet cement: we have been and continue to be, operating within an essentially insane set of norms. Norms that demand our constant adjustment; that is, if we choose not to become estranged from our workmates and ridiculed by those with whom we share our daily experiences, hopes and fears. RD Laing, the radical psychiatrist, opened his infamous rehabilitation centre in London based on this same insight. He helped unadapted, shcizoid outcasts find shelter and support while a regimented conformist society marched on ridiculing such initiatives as heresy. Turning to the wider social sphere Huxley states It is the social sphere, in the realm of politics and economics, that the Will of Order becomes really dangerous. Here the theoretical reduction of unmanageable multiplicity to comprehensible unity, becomes the practical reduction of human diversity to subhuman uniformity, of freedom to servitude. Ah yes, an unavoidable observation for anyone who has eyes to see today. Then on the urban dilemma But life in the large cities is not conducive to mental health nor does it foster the kind of responsible freedom within small self governing groups which is the first condition of a genuine democracy. Then somewhat later he adds We know that it is unsafe to allow power to be concentrated in the hands of a ruling oligarchy; nevertheless power is in fact being concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. We know that, for most people, life in a huge modern city is anonymous, atomic, less than fully human; nevertheless the huge cities grow steadily huger and the pattern of urban industrial living remains unchanged. We know that in a very large complex society, democracy is almost meaningless except in relation to autonomous groups of manageable size; nevertheless more and more of every nations affairs are managed by the bureaucrats of Big Government and Big Business. Here the theme of autonomous groups of manageable size is returned to once again. It is undoubtedly the key for both survival and eventual emancipation for the rump of humanity. It is what I put forward in Quit the Matrix Build the Ark and other related essays as well as increasingly in practice at our Polish workshops and as much as possible in daily life. Huxley recognises that a countryside setting is needed for this form of community to take root. However, he does not completely rule-out the possibility of an urban revival, but only in circumstance in which many village like caring and sharing communities are formed within the greater urban area. I would add that a radical greening of the concrete jungle would be another indispensable corollary. The author of Brave New World Revisited goes on That we are being propelled in the direction of Brave New World is obvious. But no less obvious is the fact that we can, if we so desire, refuse to cooperate with the blind forces that are propelling us. For the moment, however, the wish to resist does seem to be very strong or very widespread. Yes, and remember that was more than fifty years ago any more strong or widespread today? On broadly the same theme he states To give organisations precedence over persons is to subordinate ends to means In the more efficient dictatorships of the future there will probably be much less violence than under Hitler and Stalin. The future dictators subjects will be painlessly regimented by a corps of highly trained Social Engineers. There can be little doubt that social engineering is permanently at work in 21st century society. Painless it may not be, but effective it certainly is. Huxleys famous treatise on the power of government and corporate propaganda in Brave New World is reviewed in his return to its contents thus: They did not foresee what in fact has happened, above all in our Western capitalist democracies the development of a vast mass communications industry, concerned in the main neither with the true nor the false, but with the unreal, the more or less totally irrelevant. In a word, they failed to take into account mans almost infinite appetite for distractions. This almost limitless appetite for distractions was to reach epidemic proportions after Huxleys death and remains at the heart of millions of listless, restless, fear-driven lifestyles to this day; spurred on by a mass media in the servile employ of the ever watchful controlling government/corporate cabal. It was in June 1926 that Huxley made his first trip to the USA, and it was reportedly this experience that made him so pessimistic about the future of Europe. In Jesting Pilate he writes The thing which is happening in America is a revaluation of values a radical alteration for the worse of established standards. Brave New World is modelled on this insight, and he never made peace with Hollywood Syndrome or the fascination of the superficial facade of modernity that still grips the US Continent to this day. Huxley also harboured a nagging preoccupation with overpopulation, leading him to state that, should it continue unabated, most of humanity would face a choice between anarchy and totalitarian control. But, as we saw earlier, he also recognized that technological progress presented an equally daunting threat to humanity, stating: Technological progress has merely provided us with a more efficient means of going backwards. He longed for a resolution to the seemingly endless calamitous state of humanity and in Brave New World Revisited he writes: Almost all of us long for peace and freedom, but very few of us have much enthusiasm for the thoughts, feelings and actions that make for peace and freedom. Conversely, almost nobody wants war or tyranny; but a great many people find intense pleasure in the thoughts, feelings and actions that make for war and tyranny. On the penultimate page of Brave New World Revisited he touches the raw nerve of democratic failings in post industrial society: That so many of the well-fed young television-watchers of the Worlds most powerful democracy should be so indifferent to the idea of self-government; so blankly uninterested in freedom of thought and the right to dissent, is distressing, but not too surprising. Then at at the end he strikes a more optimistic note saying The young people who now think so poorly of democracy may grow up to become fighters for freedom. The cry Give me television and hamburgers may give place, under altered circumstances, to the cry Give me liberty or give me death. I have put all this before us because I believe we need reminding. Reminding of the fragility of human freedoms and the fact that if we dont fight for them we will lose them. We can now see, that back in 1958, all the symptoms and indeed manifestations of an oligarchical hierarchy were already strongly in evidence. This fact should serve to prompt us into realising that it has been inaction by a broad swathe of the populous since that time (and before) that is responsible for allowing the unguarded door of freedom to be pushed further and further open. Pushed open to the point where the Centralised Superstate is being offered the almost unopposed opportunity of riding roughshod over the last line of our civil liberties and imposing a potentially irrevocable dictatorship over the entire populous. In 2014, we may well be faced with just such a prospect. Yet, with propitious use of our gathering spiritual energies poured into the most appropriate, purposeful actions, we can still fend-off and ultimately dismantle the heinous military industrial complex and its power obsessed puppet rulers. We can, must and will push back the vampiric power-mongers and lay the ground for the self-governing community based cantons that Huxley so clearly foresaw as the most propitious antidote of the police state that is now at our door.

2	Liberals Freak Out When A Restaurant Bans Children, See What Happens Next Recently, Liberals were outraged as rumors circulated Shakes Old Fishermans Grotto in Monterey had decided to ban loud children from the restaurant. A sign at the front door reads: Children crying or making loud noises are a distraction to other diners, and as such are not allowed in the dining room. The sign also bans strollers, high chairs, and booster chairs. Im completely shocked, because I never had that happen, one customer told KSBW0TV, after leading the restaurant when she was not given a high chair for her 6-month-old. Usually they cater, at least have a high chair for the child, but it seemed like they didnt want any child. They said the child cant make any noises so they turned us away. Still, Chris Shake, the owner of the famously overcrowded restaurant, is standing by the policies. If a place has the rules, thats what the rules are, he told reporters. You go in and abide by the rules or you find a place more suitable for you. This is not the first time a ban like this has been considered. In Chicago, one chef publicly debated banning infants from his restaurant Alinea. What do you think? Should restaurants be allowed to ban children?

For unknown reasons, the video shows a man walking with two dogs, when suddenly; another man in red pants begins to throw bricks at the dog. Some members of the crowd begin to shout, but the man continues relentless. That is, until the two dogs decide they have had enough and take matters into their own jaws. Watch the video below and comment if you think that the man had it coming. UPDATE: Sorry the video has been removed. 
3	Ron Paul: CISPA is the New SOPARon Paul But we should never underestimate the federal governments insatiable desire to control the internet. Statists of all parties, persuasions, and nationalities hate the free, unbridled flow of information, ideas, and goods via the internet. They resent the notion that ordinary people can communicate and trade across the world without government filters or approvals. So they continually seek to impose controls, always under the guise of fighting terrorism or protecting intellectual property rights. The latest assault on internet freedom is called the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, or CISPA, which may be considered by Congress this week. CISPA is essentially an internet monitoring bill that permits both the federal government and private companies to view your private online communications with no judicial oversightprovided, of course, that they do so in the name of cybersecurity. The bill is very broadly written, and allows the Department of Homeland Security to obtain large swaths of personal information contained in your emails or other online communication. It also allows emails and private information found online to be used for purposes far beyond any reasonable definition of fighting cyberterrorism. Proponents of CISPA may be well-intentioned, but they unquestionably are leading us toward a national security state rather than a free constitutional republic. Imagine having government-approved employees embedded at Facebook, complete with federal security clearances, serving as conduits for secret information about their American customers. If you believe in privacy and free markets, you should be deeply concerned about the proposed marriage of government intelligence gathering with private, profit-seeking companies. CISPA is Big Brother writ large, putting the resources of private industry to work for the nefarious purpose of spying on the American people.We can only hope the public responds to CISPA as it did to SOPA back in January. I urge you to learn more about the bill by reading a synopsis provided by the Electronic Frontier Foundation on their website at eff.org. I also urge you to call your federal Senators and Representatives and urge them to oppose CISPA and similar bills that attack internet freedom. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	THIS States New Law Expands Gun Rights To An Incredible Level Senator Dolores Gresham, a Republican from Tennessee, has introduced Bill 1736 that will completely change gun law in Tennessee. If passed, the bill will hold store owners liable for injuries that occur on their property, IF the store bans concealed carry from their store. Take, for example, someone being attacked by an animal in a store with a strict no gun policy. If this person would have been armed had the store not had this rule, he has the right to sue the owner for damages. Essentially, this will drastically reduce the number of stores that dont allow guns. It is the intent of this section to balance the right of a handgun carry permit holder to carry a firearm in order to exercise the right of self-defense and the ability of a property owner or entity in charge of the property to exercise control over governmental or private property, the bill states. This law seems completely fair. If someone is going to take away your Second Amendment Right, then they take responsibility for whatever happens. Do you think Tennessee should pass this bill? 
2	BREAKING: Grammy Award Winning Country Music Legend Found Dead According to recent reports, legendary singer-songwriter Guy Clark has passed away at the age of 74, after a long battle with cancer. Clark released more than 20 albums during his career, and wrote songs for fellow stars like Kris Kristofferson, Jimmy Buffet, Alan Jackson, George Strait, Brad Paisley, Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs and Johnny Cash. His career started in 1975 with the release of hits L.A. Freeway and Desperados Waiting for a Train. The Highwaymen later re-introduced the song Desperados and Clark was referred to as The Fifth Highwayman. In 2014, Clark received a Grammy for Best Folk Album for his album My Favorite Picture of You. He is also featured in the Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame. He passed away on the morning of May 17. According to the post on his Facebook page, Clark stopped touring and recording after his wifes 2012 death. He is survived by his son Travis and daughter-in-law Krista McMurttry Clark; grandchildren Dylan and Elli Clark; sisters Caroline Clark Dugan and Jan Clark; manager and friend Keith Case; caretaker and sweetheart Joy Brogdon; nieces, nephews, and many, many dear friends, colleagues and fans. Do you send your prayers to his friends and family?

'My mom is so nice about it. I sometimes have trouble figuring out the blockingespecially what to do with the guardsand she always helps me, no problem,' said Shanahan, adding that his mother is 'way, way better' at getting Robert Griffin III space to run. 'I'd ask my dad, but lots of times he gets upset that I can't figure things out, instead of just helping me and making me feel good.' Kyle Shanahan, who confirmed that he talks to his mother on his headset during games, said that she offers encouragement as well as advice on how to get the tight ends more involved. 
1	Hovering forbiddingly to the right of several entrees, a handful of cartoon red chili peppers served as dark and chilling omens to all who would dare order spicy food items off the menu at Mexican restaurant Casa Azteca, sources confirmed Wednesday. According to reports, a single grim pepper reportedly loomed near the Chiles Relleno, signifying danger to any customer foolhardy enough to select the ominously piquant combination of battered poblanos and cheese. Sources further indicated that patrons would be wise to not even look upon the accursed Tilapia a la Diabla, which, with its baleful row of three clip-art portents, reportedly promised unspeakable woe and ruination even to those who had withstood other spicy entrees. At press time, most customers had sensibly heeded the sinister chili auguries and selected house specials marked with a cheery and comforting chefs hat. 
2	EXCLUSIVE: Sources Confirm Hillary Clinton Will Not Run In 2016 Due To Brain Tumor Well, it appears that we can all rest easy tonight knowing that Hillary Clinton has confirmed that she will not being running for President because of health issues. According to reports, Clinton was believed to be a favorite candidate in the Democratic Primary. She will not find out whether that was truly the case, however. Insiders have confirmed that the former Secretary of State was diagnosed with a brain tumor, causing her to cancel her bid. She will not be our nations first female President. Hillary was clearly the front-runner and would have easily won the bid for President in 2016, claims James Garner of the Ready for Hillary initiative, Our thoughts and prayers are with the Clinton family and we appreciate their efforts in public service spanning nearly 4 decades. Clinton resigned from her position in the administration earlier this year, after she faced harsh criticisms surrounding her suspicious involvement in the Benghazi attacks, and her inability to confirm or deny facts that could shed some light on the incident. What do you think? Was Hillary destined to win the bid for President? Did our country dodge a bullet? 
2	Youve Never Seen Obama This Angry, EXPLODES On Trump For Saying Radical Islam President Barack Obama exploded on Donald Trump this week, after a meeting with his National Security Council. According to Obama the Republican presidential nominee is guilty of creating a political distraction over the presidents refusal to use the phrase radical Islamic terrorism. What exactly would using this label accomplish? Obama asked furiously. What exactly would it change? Would it make ISIL less committed to trying to kill Americans? Would it bring in more allies? Is there a military strategy that is served by this? he challenged. The answer is, none of the above. Calling a threat by a different name does not make it go away. That is a political distraction. Theres no magic to the phrase, radical Islam, he continued. Its a political talking point; its not a strategy. He went on to add that the issue and his refusal to say the phrase has nothing to do with political correctness. Obama wasnt done there, however. He went on to criticize Trump for his push for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States. This is a country founded on basic freedoms, including freedom of religion, Obama concluded. We dont have religious tests here. Of course, Trump did not take to Obamas comments lightly. Later in the day at a rally in North Carolina, the legendary businessman called Obama one hell of a lousy president. I watched President Obama today and he was more angry at me than at the shooter, he commented. The level of anger, thats the kind of anger he should have for the shooter and these killers that shouldnt be here. Trump then stood by the phrase, arguing that we have a radical Islamic terrorism problem. Instead of addressing that issue, people walked away from Obamas speech thinking, Boy, does he hate Donald Trump. What do you think? Does Trump have a solid point on this one? 
3	Robots Receive Internet Brain For Machine LearningBy Nicholas West The initiative to merge robotics with artificial intelligence continues to expand its vision. I recently wrote about an internal cloud network program which enables robots to do their own research, communicate with one another, and collectively increase their intelligence in a full simulation of human interaction. It has been dubbed Wikipedia for Robots. A parallel project in Germany went further by seeking to translate the open Internet into a suitable robot language that would prompt accelerated, autonomous machine learning. Now researchers at Cornell are presenting Robo Brain a large-scale computational system that learns from publicly available Internet resources. Evidently it is learning quickly: currently downloading and processing about 1 billion images, 120,000 YouTube videos, and 100 million how-to documents and appliance manuals. The information is being translated and stored in a robot-friendly format that robots will be able to draw on when they need it. (From Cornell University press release) This is the latest development toward ushering in The Singularity the moment when machine intelligence outperforms humans, perhaps prompting a merger between humans and machines that will transcend biology. It is important to note before reading the rest of Cornells press release below that robotics is already having a dramatic impact on the economy (as well as posing an existential threat). While its still being debated whether or not this will have long-term positive benefits, the short-term is not looking great. We are beginning to see the wholesale replacement of certain manufacturing and service sector jobs most recently with the mass production of security robots in the U.S. while experts are predicting that artificial intelligence will continue to rise through the ranks and displace specialized workers. Some have gone so far as to project that by 2045 humans will be fully outsourced. Also important to note is who is responsible for the funding of this program. Once again, the familiar military-surveillance-industrial complex faces of: The Office of Naval Research, the Army Research Office, Google, Microsoft, Qualcomm, among others. But its all about serving us, right? From Cornell University: To serve as helpers in our homes, offices and factories, robots will need to understand how the world works and how the humans around them behave. Robotics researchers have been teaching them these things one at a time: How to find your keys, pour a drink, put away dishes, and when not to interrupt two people having a conversation. This will all come in one package with Robo Brain. Our laptops and cell phones have access to all the information we want. If a robot encounters a situation it hasnt seen before it can query Robo Brain in the cloud, said Ashutosh Saxena, assistant professor of computer science at Cornell University. Saxena and colleagues at Cornell, Stanford and Brown universities and the University of California, Berkeley, say Robo Brain will process images to pick out the objects in them, and by connecting images and video with text, it will learn to recognize objects and how they are used, along with human language and behavior. If a robot sees a coffee mug, it can learn from Robo Brain not only that its a coffee mug, but also that liquids can be poured into or out of it, that it can be grasped by the handle, and that it must be carried upright when it is full, as opposed to when it is being carried from the dishwasher to the cupboard. Saxena described the project at the 2014 Robotics: Science and Systems Conference, July 12-16 in Berkeley, and has launched a website for the project at http://robobrain.me The system employs what computer scientists call structured deep learning, where information is stored in many levels of abstraction. An easy chair is a member of the class of chairs, and going up another level, chairs are furniture. Robo Brain knows that chairs are something you can sit on, but that a human can also sit on a stool, a bench or the lawn. A robots computer brain stores what it has learned in a form mathematicians call a Markov model, which can be represented graphically as a set of points connected by lines (formally called nodes and edges). The nodes could represent objects, actions or parts of an image, and each one is assigned a probability how much you can vary it and still be correct. In searching for knowledge, a robots brain makes its own chain and looks for one in the knowledge base that matches within those limits. The Robo Brain will look like a gigantic, branching graph with abilities for multi-dimensional queries, said Aditya Jami, a visiting researcher art Cornell, who designed the large-scale database for the brain. Perhaps something that looks like a chart of relationships between Facebook friends, but more on the scale of the Milky Way Galaxy. Like a human learner, Robo Brain will have teachers, thanks to crowdsourcing. The Robo Brain website will display things the brain has learned, and visitors will be able to make additions and corrections. The project is supported by the National Science Foundation, The Office of Naval Research, the Army Research Office, Google, Microsoft, Qualcomm, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the National Robotics Initiative, whose goal is to advance robotics to help make the United States competitive in the world economy. I will continue to conclude articles on this topic with a series of (expanding) questions about this research that should be introduced by those of us who would like to see technology used in the most beneficial ways possible, instead of a further means of economic and literal enslavement. Please add your own questions in the comment section below. Recently by Nicholas West:

2	VIDEO: Veteran Takes Aggressive Action After Seeing Mexican Flag Flying Over US Flag As we all know, there are has been a recent movement which has banned Americans from flying the American flag freely. Americans have also received backlash for things as simple as wearing American flag t-shirts. Apparently, it is not longer acceptable to be patriotic in this country. Recently, when an Army vet saw a shop flying the Mexican flag above the American flag, it was the final straw. Watch the video below to see how he reacted to the disrespect. UPDATE: Sorry the video has been removed. 
3	Unique Ohio Resolution Against the NDAA Passes Committee 12-0Dan Johnson Since the passage of the 2012 NDAA, local, state, and national media has been remarkably silent on the effects and controversy surrounding this law. MSNBCs Rachel Maddow may have given the most attention to the law, airing a piece on prime time, but besides her show and a few mentions on CNN and FOX, the American people have had to rely on alternative news sources like Russia Today, Current TV, The Blaze, and the the Internet for information. This resolution would place the NDAA controversy on Ohioans television screens, and could bring more media attention to this issue than nearly any other action to date. Thanks to the help of the Ohio Tenth Amendment Center and the Ohio American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), this resolution is on its way to the House floor. http://www.ohiohouse.gov/members/member-directory Dont let the NDAA Resistance stop with you.

2	Obama Claims Release Of Terrorists In 2009 Made World Safer The recent release of five Taliban prisoners from Guantanamo bay have many fearing for the well being of Americans, regardless of claims that there are currently troops on the ground in Iraq. In the controversial exchange for rumored deserter Bowe Bergdahl, Obama essentially released five of our enemies into an area of the Middle East that has not ceased war. On June 11, Obama made a statement claiming that the world is safer today than it has been in years. However, recent videos and photographs portraying the ongoing disruption in Iraq, and the recent evacuation of nearly 500 Americans and 500,000 citizens of Mogul, seem to all be telling another story. In fact, while Obama and Hillary Clinton do not believe the five men released pose a threat to Americans, we cannot forget that in 2009, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was released. al-Baghdadis terrorist group is the group responsible for a violent takeover of Iraqs metropolitan areas. Now, with nearly $1.3 trillion in investments, and tens of thousands of lives at stake, some fear that we are at a point of no return. 
1	Citing a succession of tragedies that have darkened the majority of 2013, including the Boston Marathon bombing, the Bangladeshi garment building collapse, and yesterdays Oklahoma tornado, media outlets across the nation confirmed today that their end-of-the-year news slideshows are looking rather horrific so far. Were still in May, and this things already turning out to be a real soul-crusher, said CNN web producer Kim Benson of their websites 2013 Year In Photos feature, which is reportedly packed to the gills with horror and misery despite containing only five months worth of material so far. I mean, the Texas fertilizer plant explosion; the New Orleans Mothers Day Parade shooting; the continuing Syrian genocide; fucking Ariel Castro. This things a doozy already. And remember, its not even storm season yet and murder rates spike in the summer. At press time, sources confirmed we still had seven more months of this goddamned year. 
2	Youve Never Heard A Duet Like Garth Brooks Trisha Yearwood BELTING A Country Classic [Video] Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood are amazing musicians in their own right. They have been putting out hit songs for years and I cant stop listening to them! The couple has a duet album in the works and they have touring together recently. The tour is called The Garth Brooks World Tour With Trisha Yearwood. While on tour they performed classic covers! The list of covers is endless but my favorite cover has to be After The Fire Is Gone. The original version is one of my favorite songs of all time and is performed perfectly by these country greats. Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn performed the original. The country duo did their original version impromptu in 1971. Im not sure how they perfectly harmonized without practicing, but they did. Their version is absolutely jaw dropping and I can listen to it 1,000 times. Garth and Trisha sat down with PBS to conduct a full interview discussing the amazing career of Loretta Lynn. The interview is for American Masters-Loretta Lynn: Still a Mountain Girl. The full documentary will be aired at a date later specified by PBS. Garth and Trishas album will be released on March 4th 2016. It is titled Full Circle. It is perfect timing that this interview was released because it gives fans a preview of what to expect on the duet album. Let me tell yall that its going to be a great one. The album will feature many covers and some originals. Trisha and Garth sing the song and it is magical. It is not as good as Twitty and Lynns rendition, but it is still a great song. Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn set the bar very high for this song. They effortlessly sing it with perfect harmony and waves. It is something you could not get from either of them singing alone. Are you a huge fan? 
2	Trump Sends Megyn Kelly A Brutal Message For The Upcoming Republican Debate Donald Trump and Megyn Kelly have been on bad terms ever since the first Republican Presidential Debate. Trump had accused Kelly of attacking him with unfair questioning. And then there was Trumps blood comment that completely rattled Kelly. Yesterday, Trump took to Twitter in response to Kelly talking to the press about their past. .@megynkelly recently said that she cant be wooed by Trump. She is so average in every way, who the hell wants to woo her! Clearly, these two are still on bad terms, and with Kelly moderating the next Republican Debate, which is in just a few days, things will be interesting to say the least. Did Trump cross the line with this comment? Or is everything fair game at this point? 
1	Titans nickel back Vincent Fuller announced Tuesday that he was taking dime back Eric King under his nickel-backing wing in an effort to help the fourth-year player develop the coverage skills necessary to play in long passing situationsand in the hope that King would himself mature into a nickel back someday. 'Showing Eric the third-down-and-more-than-10-to-go ropes is personally fulfilling, and I think he's starting to feel like he's really a part of the secondary,' said Fuller, adding that he was happy to be the kind of trusted situational defense counselor King could look up to. 'Mostly I try to share my experiences on the field and emphasize that, even though dime back is only a part-time defensive position, he needs to make the most of his three to five opportunities each game. We've talked a lot about him breaking out of his soft-cover backpedal, working on his tackling, and, uh, the backpedal thing some more.' Fuller meets with King three times a week to work with the dime back to eliminate penalties, quiz him about defending routes, and make sure things are going good at home. 
2	Aids Epidemic Running Rampant Amongst ISIS Fighters. Its Becoming So Bad That They... According to recent reports, ISIS has just established an AIDs center. Why? AIDs has become a growing epidemic due to their practices of sex slavery. A reporter who moved to Shaddadi south Hasaka to investigate the issues confirmed that AIDs has been prevalent among ISIS fighters. In the beginning, we discovered one case, an Indonesian nationality, and that happened when he was donating blood at one of the ISIS hospitals, a source identified as Abu Qatada told the reporter. The donor was later executed. The security apparatus of ISIS opened an investigation, to know later that the infected member had a Yezidi girl who was sold to another member carries the Egyptian nationality, he continued. When examining the Egyptian member and the Yazidi girl, they were both confirmed infected. It was also concluded that the Indonesian member was aware of his condition when he made the donation. 
3	Do You REALLY Love Freedom?Elliot Hulse 
3	Unemployment as a LifestyleJames Hall, Contributor The official attitude that government social agencies exist to mitigate economic distress is a staple ever since the New Deal era. Much of the state of mind that created the welfare society emerged from the do gooders in New York State. The result from decades of socialization and educational indoctrination left us with the entitlement culture. One illustration supports the contention. The NYAPRS, New York Association of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services provides conclusions from a 2009 survey taken from informants who were consumers of employment services, administrators of state agencies, and community providers. This research revealed several systemic and structural barriers to employment: Slow transition to a Recovery-oriented system: The public mental health system New York State continues to have a strong focus on helping people to survive with their illnesses rather than to recover and function with the rest of society. This system does not seem to fully embrace the belief that all people with psychiatric disabilities can work. Employment is not a priority: The policies and practice standards of the public mental health system, vocational rehabilitation and workforce services do not recognize the harmful effects of long-term unemployment. Therefore, supporting employment has not been a priority. Lack of a comprehensive system: The services and supports needed for employment are not organized into single system in which people looking for work can get all of the services they need to find and keep a job. Some of the signs of this fragmentation include: Service providers have little awareness of outside programs and agencies; Limited inter-agency collaboration leads to complex, repetitive processes to obtain services (e.g., applications, assessments); Poor referral and follow-up practices; Limited ability to combine resources and use funding efficiently. The philosophical question that society refuses to confront is that work is essential to a healthy life. Most people deny this axiom. Their benefit lifestyle is based upon the tormented thought of actual work as an expenditure of energy and mental stress. The simple reason why this criterion of torture feared and evaded with earnest is that public assistance for the middle class is an integrally important part of public policy. The myth that government services benefit citizens, based upon the false premise, of confiscatory taxation is mentally deranged. Add in entire segments of illiterate and unassimilated renegades and the prospects of actually engaging in an honest days work and you have a national lifestyle that repudiates labor as a means of earning a living. The parasitic culture is alive and well on its way to be the most vocal stratum demanding more government reimbursement to maintain unemployed status. However, not all individuals share the futility of dependency. Some still soldier on to earn a legitimate sustenance through honorable work. The basic solution to quash the unemployment mentality cannot be found in sound bites like creating jobs. The cornerstone of government repression found in the fulfillment of government assistance programs, is the assault against the individual to keep the fruits of their commerce as a natural right. The domestic economy has so radically denied the proper reward of conducting business that most citizens have clearly given up. The mental disease that permeates all aspects of government is that the State is the ultimate guarantor of the public welfare. The reason why there are so many underprivileged beggars on some form of a public dole, rests upon the theft of the effective ability to succeed at an independent business venture. The average person, beaten down for decades, is not willing to take the risk of entrepreneurship. The black market is the real economy. The intrusive violation into our own business affairs by the encroachment of government restriction on the free market causes systemic unemployment. The future forecast just grows worse every year. Food stamp dependency is now at an all time high. Capitulation of the long-term unemployed leave the job search. Raising the minimum wage just forces more employees onto the unemployment rolls. Most disturbing is that the underemployed, who are unable to meet their financial needs, suffer from bleak expectations. The corporate monopolization of access to capital, as the ordinary borrower barred from loans, is the final tipping point for main street commercial enterprises. The top-down economy only benefits the corporatist and magnifies the suffering of the fading middle class. The poor will always exist, but soon the bourgeoisie will be added to the ranks of the wretched. The psychiatric rehabilitation, desperately needed to restore the fundamental balance in normal commerce, needs to enforce anti-trust laws. Protection against crony criminals that steal from the true economy is imperative. The country is tilting on its axis because basic common sense is absent under the Corporate/State model. Solving the unemployment dilemma requires a single system of rewarding work and phasing out government dependency. The sickness that saps the lifeblood from the economy requires treatment that restores decentralization and individual business initiatives. America has an economy deeply afflicted with the mental ailment of futility. The symptom of economic distress is rapidly metastasizing into a culture of hopelessness. Only a revival of financial reward for meaningful work can regenerate needed confidence. The nanny state destroys self-reliance. Job creation is the natural function of the private sector. It is time to get America back on track. Original article archived here James Hall is a reformed, former political operative.

3	The Covert Operations for Human Mind ControlCatherine J. Frompovich One of Stop the Crimes [STC] releases of documents, which previously were unavailable, is labeled Planned Chemical Sedation of the Population Radio Microwave Frequencies for Mass Mind Control [PCSP]. It refers to the Aquarius Group Operation Briefing. In the STC introduction page, however, this is pointed out about the PCSP: That may have been the case when the PCSP was first released [probably early 1980s?], but by now, every-day-citizens undoubtedly realize they are fully involved due to their fascination with technology, especially cell phones, smart phones, interactive games and devices, and other newer devices like Samsung TVs that can transmit viewers conversations out of the house to who knows whom and why? Not knowing the exact original release date of PCSP, we probably will find this information on the STC introduction extremely revealing: Its rather interesting, I think, that the powers that be were/are cunning enough to booby trap the briefing paper with specific punctuation errors so as to identify a specific leaker or whistleblower. However, the release-source of the document that STC obtained has passed on. In my opinion, we ought to be totally indebted for the information. On the STC introductory page, key places in the document are referenced. However, I will flag some information that I think readers ought to know because it validates a true mind control conspiracy on government agencies part(s). So, here we go: On page 1 of COM-12 Briefing / Mind Control Operations / Aquarius Group Activities: And then this caveat of sorts is added: COM, I think, may be the acronym for communications. Note the CIA inclusion! Furthermore, Question: Is that probably the rational and economic reasoning for all the chemicals forced upon humans through food, water and the environment, together with such billion-dollar industries that make toxic-ingredient-vaccines and pharmaceuticals? Its all planned and then made legal, coincidentally, at federal and state levels with legislative statutes probably initiated by vested interest lobbyists and lobbied legislators. However, some transparency and/or candidness makes it way into the report: Now, what you will read next is nothing short of pure vindication for all conspiracy theorists, especially those who are exposing chemtrails: That, dear readers, is why we have the protoplasmic poison, fluoride, added to municipal water supplies since the 1960s! Why our foods are manufactured and contaminated with all types of poisonous processing chemicals! Why everyone who sees his/her physician is prescribed 2 or more Rx drugs and vaccines for every child, even those just born! And, the ultimate mind control and probable biogen, chemtrail sprayingaka weather geoengineering. All kinds of poisonous chemicals and toxic metals, i.e., aluminum chaff, are sprayed down upon us, our food and water and into our lungs! No wonder there are so many people tragically afflicted with Alzheimers disease! [2] Coincidentally, Alzheimers has more than doubled since 1980! [3] Isnt that coincidental to the timeline for covert mind control? At another place in the PCSP, it states that those covert projects were planned for full implementation between 1990 and 1995. It is now 2015how much more have they introduced? Chemtrails, HAARP, Smart Meters, Smart Phones and, apparently, coming soonif not here alreadySmart Dust! [4] Now, here, apparently, is their ultimate plan: If not prevented from doing so. Is it too late? Can we, the people of the world, stop them? Its up to everyone! Is it any wonder there are so many crazy things being carried out either by lone wolves or overly-zealous groups? Does mind control come in to play to effectuate the Hegelian DialecticProblem-Reaction-Solution. And do they have it all planned out? Everyone who believes in freedom from mind control; freedom from forced medications; freedom from toxic/debilitating vaccines/vaccinations; freedom from Smart Meters; freedom from chemtrails needs to consider whats at stake. It seems overwhelming, doesnt it? Well, apparently, weve all been asleep at the switch, and thats partly due to a compliant bought media and press in the USA. They should have been sounding the clarion call about whats going on, not reporting whos sleeping with whom! They knew for at least 40 years! Furthermore, the apparent One World Order patriarch David Rockefeller is on record as saying, Hear about Mr. Rockefeller making that statement in this video. And, then theres this he supposedly said: Furthermore, what really goes on at the Bohemian Grove, California, encampments where apparent one world order honchos congregate every summer? Well, heres my December 21, 2012 selfnews Post article, Presidential Candidates Apparent Vetting Process that talks about some of what goes on there. What its come down to is that we, the human race, are being treated like rats or mice in Frankensteins laboratory or maybe even like Adolph Hitlers medical scientist, Dr. Josef Mengele with their insidious experiments on unfortunate and tortured Jews in concentration camps. It was the Jews back then in the 1940s; its now ALL of humankind in 2015! What are we going to do about it? One thing I suggest is to finish reading the Planned Chemical Sedation of the Population Radio Microwave Frequencies for Mass Mind Control. It ought to convince you that you need to become politically involved and become an activist too, especially if you have children or grandchildren. What kind of world will they be forced to live in? A FEMA camp? Here are Googles 2 pages of FEMA camp locations. Print them so you can learn where you just may be heading ifand whenmartial law is declared. Furthermore, why would Google produce such a map, if there werent actual locations? Good question to ask. If nothing said so far has gotten your attention, perhaps this will, which is taken from page 49: Read that last sentence again. Have you heard recent news casts about whats going on around the globe? Either the above PCSP report is an actual and valid document of their long-range plans back then, or there is such a thing as coincidences. If you dont believe in coincidences, then maybe everyone in the USA ought to present these facts to their Members of Congress and State Legislators and ask for explanations. If enough people did that, maybejust maybesomething could happen to change the course of our intended history. I hope and pray its not too late.

The truth is, MOST PEOPLE WOULDNT WANT TO KNOW how it happens, because they themselves are religiously attached to the very belief that makes it possible. The vast majority of suffering and injustice in the world, today and spanning back thousands of years, can be directly attributed to a single idea the myth of authority. Nearly everyone is raised to believe that obedience to authority is a virtue (at least in most cases), that respecting and complying with the laws of government is what makes us civilized, and that disrespect for authority leads only to chaos and violence. In fact, people have been so thoroughly trained to associate obedience with being good that attacking the concept of authority will sound, to most people, like suggesting that there is no such thing as right and wrong, no need to abide by any standards of behavior, no need to have any morals at all. The reason the myth of authority needs to be demolished is precisely because there is such a thing as right and wrong, it does matter how people treat each other, and people should always strive to live moral lives. Despite the constant authoritarian propaganda claiming otherwise, having respect for authority and having respect for humanity are mutually exclusive and diametrically opposed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpcfZzx8xY0 IF the government COULD control mindsyou wouldnt have been allowed to write this article to expose them.

2	Cashier Tells Mother That She Should Have Gotten An Abortion, Her Response Is Amazing A mom of a 2-year-old boy with Down Syndrome was recently caught off guard when she was attempting to shop at the grocery store. To her surprise, the cashier looked down at her baby and made a comment so disrespectful its almost unbelievable. I bet you wish you had known before he came out, the cashier remarked. You know they have a test for that now. I know right? the woman joked back. Its so much harder to get rid of them once they come out. Believe me Ive tried. The cashier was visibly stunned. What youre saying is that its okay for me to kill him while hes inside, but not outside? the mother concluded. In my book there isnt a difference. For the record, we knew EVERYTHING about him during my pregnancy. He is our son now and he was our son then. What do you think? Do you support this woman and her amazing story? 
2	What This Muslim Cashier At Walmart Did To A Christian Customer Will Make You ABSOLUTELY Sick When retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel Allen West visited a Walmart in Texas last week to grab groceries with his daughter, he did not know he was about to get a snapshot into Americas new double standards. The pair grabbed what they needed from the halal grocery section, and headed toward the checkout aisle. As they were approaching, a young man at the checkout line put up a sign that said No alcohol products in this lane. I pointed the sign out to Aubrey and her response was a simple question, how is it that this Muslim employee could refuse service to customers based on his religious beliefs, but Christians are being forced to participate in specific events contrary to their religious beliefs? West wrote in a post describing the incident. When West asked the same question of Walmart, he was told that the cashier was under 21 and could therefore not process alcohol. They claimed that the incident had nothing to do with his Muslim faith. What do you think? Do you buy Walmarts excuse? 
3	Florida Gun Store Owner Reveals He Called FBI on Orlando Killer One Month Prior to MassacreBy Jay Syrmopoulos Owner of Lotus Gunworks in Jensen Beach, Robert Abell, said Mateen was turned away when he tried to purchase two types of body armor the store did not carry, as well as 1,000 rounds of ammunition. According to the report in The Hill: The store contacted the FBI, which was also investigating a group of Middle Eastern men buying police gear at the store. The men turned out to be security guards. The FBI asked about Mateens visit, but the store couldnt provide any identifying details or security camera footage. Store employees realized that the man was Mateen after his picture circulated in the media in the wake of the massacre that left 49 people dead. Mateen was killed by police when they raided the nightclub. Although the media narrative has centered around Mateens alleged pledge of support to ISIS in a call to 911, and in a post to Facebook during the attack, writing, You kill innocent women and children by doing us airstrikes now taste the Islamic state vengeance, the head of the CIA, John Brennan, told a Senate intelligence committee that the intelligence agency has found absolutely no connection between the Islamic State terror group and Mateen. These revelations raise some startling questions as the two presidential candidates, as well as President Obama, have blamed ISIS, seemingly contradicting the sentiments of the CIA and Brennan in his testimony to the Senate. So why would the politicians be running with this Islamic terrorism narrative when the intelligence community says that he had no connections to ISIS? The easy answer would be to garner more control by utilizing this crisis as a means of harnessing public opinion toward achieving certain policy goals. A geopolitical war for energy considerations, which underpin the global economy, rages in Syria as the Western imperial alliance. The U.S. desperately wants to topple the Assad government and install an American puppet in an effort to elicit more leverage over their primary strategic opponent Russia. It seems there is a dual strategy being employed, using the Orlando massacre as a tool to garner support for increased military activity in the Syrian theater, as well using the attack as a wedge to drive support for increased gun control measures in the United States. Yesterday, in a move that seemingly reinforces the idea that an intentional media narrative is being driven from above, we reported that the FBI had directed Mateens ex-wife to not tell the U.S. media that he was actually gay. From listening to the mainstream media one would assume that Mateen was an ISIS operative directed to attack by the terrorist group a contention that has absolutely no merit or validity and yet this has been relentlessly parroted to the American public by the biggest media talking heads and names in U.S politics. The question remains as to whether the FBI simply dropped the ball, after being warned a month prior by Abell, or if there was some type of intentional negligence in allowing Mateen to not be further investigated and put under surveillance especially considering the fact that he had previously been investigated by the FBI and was under surveillance for 10 months. The FBI had interviewed Mateen no less than 3 times, thus a call regarding his attempt to buy body armor and a large amount of ammunition should have precipitated a more proactive response. The more we learn, the stranger things seem to become in this case. The one thing that is unmistakable is that the media narrative is being driven to affect a political agenda the truth be damned!

He is currently a graduate student at University of Denver pursuing a masters in Global Affairs.

Russia has signed onto Agenda 2030 as have all wealthy middle east nations along with Iran and China. Use of oil in the global economy is to be sharply limited by 2020 and then drops to almost nothing by 2030 the post carbon era as its being termed. Wall Street Journal uses the euphemism Vision 2030 when explaining the RADICAL economic transformation going on the middle east. Russias military expenditures in Syria are $400M yet have generated new contracts to sell weapons with foreign customers totaling between 6 and 7 billion dollars and there are discussions with Saudi Arabia to purchase a $4 billion air defense system. The Assad family billions are ensconced in western and globalist controlled investment vehicles. Western imperialism is the new divide and conquer globalist meme deflecting the roles of the UN and the Global Elite in the new paradigm being rolled out. Hello blue. Thanks for sharing your research and POV. Always appreciated. Hi Olde Soul! Youre very welcome and always good to see ya around. How does someone named Omar Mateen get a clearance to work in the security field, plus pass a background check to obtain weapons legally, when he is under such deep suspicion by the FBI? Wouldnt you think there would be some kind of flag thingy on his record? Oh, and hes gay. Oh, and his father is running for president in Afghanistan and knows Hillary. Oh and hes conveniently dead to tell no tells. You cant make this stuff up. except someone surely is. this maybe the man or he may not be the man, and how many time are we going to get this carpology after the event, it is wearing very thin, and obvious, all these events the world over have the same procedure, we always seem to a picture of one or more of the suspects, or they could be stooges or patsies, they may even be programed like the man who shot JOHN LENNON, but what it is telling us, first of all is the whole pattern of events are now beginning to look obvious, and why look at how it gets set up nobody seems to notice anything, and the answer is simple and the only ones in a position to do it so they wont be noticed are those in authority, the one and only CIA-MOSSAD, and that includes all types of plane and transport sabotage, there is only one time they were caught red handed and that was at the time of the London transport bombings a Brazilian electrician caught this same group setting up the bombs, and when they realised that they were rumbled they gave chase to the man who saw them and killed him MOSSAD STYLE, his name was Menazes, Dont forget Hinkley and and esp. Sirhan as examples of programmed patsies with Sirhans psychiatrist Jolyn West having been involved with MK Ultra and decades later was also a member of the team sent to evaluate McVeigh. Cant make this stuff up as Olde Soul said. But then, as a Russian you probably know the FSB/KGB has also had its hand in some very dirty business assassinating political dissenters, false flags, the Moscow theater hostage debacle, and providing the hit team to finish off the entire Polish executive branch when they rebuffed IMF overtures and a global vaccination program. ALL of the global intelligence agencies are working hand in hand to enslave us and akin to the Knights of Malta only answer to their global elite masters. Their united efforts spawned Operation Cyclone 2.0. The growing power is seated in the UN to serve the international banksters. The Orlando incident smacks of cia and mossad involvement. They wish to ferment the muslim christian hatred to start ww3. Hate engineering against Islam is going on ! In Year 2094 survivors coudl read a new human history that already has been prepared and wait under the capstone at the Denver airport google: sinister site denver airport! Hope, there are still some heros among US people who would dare to have a look under the stone and tell us what the satanists have prepared before 2094 Gee, American hypocrisy and treachery knows no bounds! Why is it that US government agencies such as the FBI and the CIA seem to have no civilian control and are able to investigate who they wish and not investigate who they wish not to, with impunity? Why does it seem that there are numerous instances where accused terrorists have associated relationships with such agencies in their backgrounds? Is there a sinister reason for that? Both sides want a nwo they just fighting for who gets to rule over it at least Assad dont allow GMOs or push vaccines on the Syrian people tho Russia 400million USD the Usurped States are giving (giving) IRAN (once thought to be a rogue nation and under the eye so to speak) 150Billion USD. Now whey would they do thatuhh heres my guess. 
2	Mike Pence Released Terrible News About His Campaign, He Is No Longer... Republican presidential nominee has had a questionable history with women for some time now. His fist wife, Ivana, claimed that Trump raped her in their divorce papers. In 1997, a makeup artist filed a lawsuit claiming Trump groped her, and several other women say Trump attempted to rape them. On Friday, when the Washington Post released audio of Trump bragging about having sex with married women, groping them, and not waiting, many Americans decided they had had enough. Now, it appears that Trumps running mate Mike Pence will not be appearing in Wisconsin. Reports indicate that he was beside himself when he heard the audio, and that his wife is also furious. Pence spokesman Marc Lotter said that since Donald Trump will be in Wisconsin the day after he was to appear, we are adjusting the schedule. Trump has confirmed with the public that he has no intentions of dropping out of the race. Pence has not yet confirmed whether he intend to drop out or not. Trump was set to appear in Wisconsin with the top Republican in the country, Speaker Paul Ryan. But Ryan released a statement uninviting him, and he will no longer be attending. What do you think? Are things looking really bad for Donald? 
2	Unauthorized Video Of Huma Leaks... Every America Needs To See This This has not been a good month for Hillary Clinton. Last week, FBI Director James Comey reopened the investigation into her use of a personal email server during her time as Secretary of State. Now, her right-hand woman Huma Abedin has come under FBI investigation for criminal charges. The FBI reportedly found thousands of emails on her husband, Anthony Weiners laptop. The communication involved emails pertinent to the Clinton case. Abedin claims she has no idea how they ended up in her husbands laptopa laughable arguable. Now, a popular video is circulating on social media, showing just how dangerous Abedin could really be. Hillarys confidant was raised in Saudi Arabia for sixteen years, and her family has known ties to groups and people who have funded terrorism. The video alleges that the Abedin family business, The Institute of Minority Muslim Affairs, which is a pro-Sharia newsletter, is owned by the Muslim World League, Saudi Arabias global organization that promotes violent Wahhabi Islam. The video names the four main players as Clinton, Abedin, Saudi Arabia and Abdullah Omar Nasseef. Watch the clip below and tell us what you think. Do Hillary and her friends need to be kept far away from the White House? 
2	SWAT Teams Flood The Streets Of Chicago After THIS Happens Swat teams are searching all of Chicago after two ISIS members were identified. Two bearded men shouted out from a white van that they are ISIS, and threatened the city. The suspects were able to get away from the police. All of Chicago is in fear. Some people are temporarily moving out of the city. If ISIS intent is to rattle America, its working. This is ISIS first real move in America after the Paris attack. Although it was just a threat, its impossible to tell when they will actually strike. The only thing we can do is eliminate them before they eliminate us. Do you think Obama should be replaced with someone who can handle ISIS? 
3	Why Americans Are Submitting to the NWODave Hodges I Like Contrarians On my talk show and in my articles, I like to periodically give attention to individuals and groups who are making a difference in the fight against our out of control tyrannical government. Blaine Cooper is one of these people. The Tom Petty classic song, I Wont Back Down,accurately applies to Blaine Cooper. Blaine Cooper is awake and he is disgusted with the corrupt leadership of this country. By all accounts, he is a good man and he will not be silenced in the face of abject tyranny running rampant over the citizens of this country. Cooper knows that our government has been hijacked by criminal elements and he is not shy about making his feelings known to the powers that be. Unfortunately, Mr. Cooper has learned that freedom is not free and he has begun to pay a price for being outspoken about the criminals that are running this country into the ground, for their own personal benefit. Blaine Cooper was accused by the federal government for promoting dangerous ideas because he speaks his mind. Recently Cooper published the following Facebook post: In this specific Facebook post, Cooper wonders out loud if and when that day comes, will the police and the Federal agents stand with the people, or will the people have to fight against the forces of law enforcement in order to survive? This is a legitimate question. For the record Mr. FBI agents, I wonder the same exact thing every time I watch your agents carry out another act of tyranny against innocent American citizens. Every Move You Make, Every Breath You Take, the FBI Is Watching You Although Cooper stated quite clearly that he hopes that an armed confrontation will NOT occur with law enforcement officials, the Federal government does not recognize Mr. Coopers First Amendment freedom of speech to voice objections to the corruption he is seeing on a daily basis. In his Facebook post, Cooper is not making a direct threat against any identifiable person or organization. But dont confuse the FBI with the facts as they moved, within mere hours of the post appearing on Facebook, to immediately silence Cooper. It is obvious that the FBI views an American citizen who opposes the unfolding of the emerging police state as a terrorist. The FBI cannot have Americans stating that they will they defend their civil liberties against enemies, both foreign and domestic. Subsequently, the FBI paid Mr. Cooper a visit. According to Police State USA, Cooper was contacted at home by the Prescott Valley Police and was told that he must come to the police station to speak with the FBI unless he wanted the FBI to come ransack his house for failing to submit to the Federal agents. When Cooper showed up for the interview, the FBI had a copy of every Facebook post that he had ever made including personal information about his wife and parents. You see, in the mafia, they just dont take you out, they will go after your family as well. Unable to find any evidence of terrorist activity, the FBI had to let Cooper go. A Caveat About Talking to Any Federal Agent Under Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001, did you know that it is a crime to tell a lie to the federal government? Even if your lie is verbal and not offered under oath? Even if you have received no warnings of any kind if the Feds say you lied, you did and you go to jail! Even if you are not trying to cheat the government out of money, it is a crime to lie! Even if the government is not actually fooled by your falsehood, you will go to jail! You can go to prison if you misspeak about anything that the Feds determine is not true. If you give the wrong year that you got your last parking ticket, you can go to prison. You can do five years if you misspeak and give inaccurate information about what you had for breakfast on the first Saturday of the previous month. This is how the government mafia works and NOBODY should ever speak with them without a lawyer present and without the entire event being filmed. Martha Stewart did not go to prison for what she did wrong. She went to prison because Federal agents said that she lied when they interviewed her. I have repeatedly stated this fact in my articles and columns: NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, talk to the Feds by yourself. It is your word against theirs and they lie. Blaine Cooper was lucky. If you are ever in the same situation as Blaine Cooper and Martha Stewart, and the Feds are threatening to trash your house for failing to cooperate, take a lawyer with you. And until you can get an attorney to be present at all questioning, invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer ANY and ALL questions. If the Feds do not cooperate with your right to avoid self-incrimination, or your right to protect yourself from their lies, call the media and invite family and friends to videotape. If Thomas Jefferson Was On Facebook Hed Be Declared An Enemy Combatant Thomas Jefferson had as much to do with creating our Constitutional Republic as anyone, yet he despised and mistrusted government. He frequently stated that our countrymen had more to fear from the bankers and the government than the standing armies of a foreign government. Can you imagine what would have happened if Jefferson was ever on Facebook and he posted one of his most famous quotes? Periodic revolution, at least once every 20 years, was a medicine necessary for the sound health of government. It is quite clear that Feds would have subjected Jefferson to intense scrutiny and interrogation and Federal officials would certainly be looking for the slightest deception, or misspeak, in order to put one of the greatest patriots in American history in prison. Blaine Cooper Wont Back Down The Federal government be damned, Cooper is not about to be deterred by their agents. To Coopers credit, he is not done confronting the criminal Federal government. Recently, Cooper confronted Senator John McCain at a public meeting for supporting the al-Qaeda backed Syrian rebels in their illegitimate fight against Assad. Cooper, as I have previously stated, also called the chemical weapons attack upon the citizens of Damascus, a false flag event. Cooper told McCain that he should be arrested and charged with treason for his actions. McCain appeared as if he wanted to crawl into a hole as his discomfort with Coopers confrontation was quite evident. Here is Coopers confrontation with Senator McCain. The Federal Government Is Not Done Harassing Cooper I can speak from personal experience that the Federal government is not done with Blaine Cooper. He can expect to have his taxes audited. He can expect to hear clicks on his phone during conversations. He can expect emails to disappear. And if he becomes a real pain in the backside, he will face increasing acts of intimidation and violence as I did. For an eight-year period, I led a fight against the John McCain-led globalists as they attempted to steal the homes and properties of 300 of my rural neighbors without being offered one dime of compensation as they moved to acquire free land to put a Canamex Corridor Highway through our area, which also happens to sit on the state of Arizonas largest underground water aquifer. During my much-publicized fight against the McCain-led forces, I experienced extreme (coincidental) harassment: The Sheep Continue to Acquiesce Blaine Cooper would probably tell you that he is no hero and does not consider himself to be extraordinarily brave. He is just pissed off as he sees this country going down the toilet. I feel the same way. Before my battle with the globalists in an effort to save my home, I had a life that was working very well. As a result of my fight against tyrannical government, the quality of my life has indeed suffered. People that used to call me a friend, now think I have lost my mind. Cooper is about to discover the same exact thing. If you pick up your cross and fight against this abject and unrelenting evil, you will face harassment and you could even lose your life as did Breitbart, Swartz and Hastings. However, what most pretend activists dont realize, is that the wages of apathy will culminate in a destroyed life and eventually a premature death. Do you want to die on your feet or in a bent over kneeling position on the ground? What you dont know can and will hurt you. And what you dont do can kill you.

'The average height of a Canadian male is 5 feet 10 inches, and as you can see, Uros far exceeds that,' an excited Colangelo said. 'I think Uros will fit right in with the other uncommonly tall men we have on our team.' Colangelo added that exceptional height is the main, and sometimes only, quality he looks for in his basketball players. 
2	Trey Gowdy Just Uncovered Something That Will Destroy Hillary For Good Hillary Clinton has been involved in a fair share of scandals, but it appears that Benghazi may be the straw that breaks the camels back. According to new reports, evidence has surfaced indicating that the former secretary of state was involved in a plot to ignore attempts by the Gaddafi regime to end hostilities in the area. Now, Clinton will testify before the House Select Committee on Benghazi. Trey Gowdy is in no hurry, however. Instead, he is carefully gathering evidence to piece together a clear picture before questioning witnesses about the incident. On the day the U.N. resolution was passed, Mrs. Clinton ordered a general within the Pentagon to refuse to take a call with Gaddafis son Seif and other high-level members within the regime, to help negotiate a resolution, the secret recordings reveal, an article from The Times reads. But that night, with Col. Muammar Gaddafis forces turning back the rebellion that threatened his rule, Mrs. Clinton changed course, forming an unlikely alliance with a handful of top administration aides who had been arguing for intervention. Part of this intervention was the U.S. mission in Benghazi. What do you think? Will Hillary have to answer some serious questions once and for all? 
2	BREAKING: U.S. Airstrikes Kill ISIS Leader In Syria [VIDEO] According to reports from Fox News, a top Islamic State military commander described as a gang leader for the terror group was killed by a coalition airstrike in Syria. On Thursday, the U.S. military confirmed the strike on Monday killed Abu Jandal al Kuwaiti near Tabqa Dam, just outside Raqqa. Officials added that he was a former member of the terror groups War Committee and helped ISIS recapture the Syrian city of Palmyra. His death will degrade ISILs ability to defend Raqqah and launch external operations against the West, the U.S. military said in a statement. Earlier this week, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said he had been targeted by U.S. led coalition aircrafts. ISIS supporters on social media noted he had been killed on Tuesday. This is just one of continuous efforts from U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces who have been battling ISIS fighters near the area. Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com 
1	Taking a break from his busy schedule of pastoral duties, the Rev. Al Sharpton set aside time Monday evening to make an appearance on a cable news channel, sources have confirmed. Given his professional obligations and personal devotion to spreading the Gospel, we were simply thrilled that the reverend was able to find time for us and come on our show, television producer Sophie Josten said of the 59-year-old Baptist clergyman, who when not conducting a worship service, ministering to the sick, or teaching a seminar at a local divinity school reportedly prefers to spend his time sequestered in silent prayer. After we showed him how to speak into his microphone properly and told him which camera to look into, he took to it like a pro, generously sharing his views on any topic that came up during the broadcast. He left in a hurry though, no doubt to spend his evening offering one-on-one spiritual counseling to members of his congregation, but were sure glad he was able to fit us in. Sources close to the reverend confirmed that after quickly reprising his role as a guest host on WWE Raw, Sharptons next stop would be the hospice where he volunteers as a chaplain. 
1	Noting that shes always present for recording sessions and has been increasingly vocal about the groups musical direction, disgruntled bandmates of Rivers Cuomo privately complained this week that the singers wife, Kyoko Ito, is becoming the fifth Weezer. There are only four Weezersthe Weezers in this bandand the last time I checked, Kyoko is not a Weezer, complained longtime guitarist Brian Bell, who is known to fans as the Hot Weezer, just as Cuomo is famously the Sensitive Weezer, Patrick Wilson is the Funny Weezer, and Scott Shriner is the Shy Weezer. As far as Im concerned, wives come and go, but Weezers are forever. And if Rivers doesnt realize that, then maybe he just doesnt understand what being a Weezer is all about. At press time, an increasingly frustrated Bell had reportedly announced plans to split off from the group and pursue projects as a solo Weezer. 
3	Syria: US Success Would Only Be the End of the BeginningBy Tony Cartalucci Providing testimony was former US Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, former US Marine Corps Commandant and former Supreme Allied Commander Europe General James Jones, USMC (Ret.), and Colonel Wesley Martin, US Army (Ret.). All three witnesses made passionate pleas before a room full of nodding senators for America to continue backing not only MEK terrorists currently harbored on a former US military base in Iraq, but to back groups like MEK inside of Iran itself to threaten the very survival of the government in Tehran. In the opening remarks by Lieberman, he stated: It was not only right and just that we took them off the foreign terrorist organization list, but the truth is now that we ought to be supportive of them and others in opposition to the government in Iran more than we have been. Lieberman would also state (emphasis added): Heres my point Mr. Chairman, we ought to compartmentalize that agreement also, that nuclear agreement. We ought to put it over there, and not let it stop us from confronting what theyre doing in Syria. Continuing the sanctions for human rights violations in Iran in support of terrorism. And heres the point I want to make about the National Council of Resistance of Iran and other democratic opposition groups that are Iranian we ought to be supporting them. This regime in Tehran is hopeless. Its not going to change. Theres no evidence every piece of evidence says the contrary. So I hope we can find a way, we used to do this not so long ago, supporting opposition groups in Iran. They deserve our support, and actually they would constitute a form of pressure on the government in Tehran that would unsettle them as much as anything else we could do because it would threaten the survival of the regime which from every objective indicator I can see is a very unpopular regime in Iran. The United States, unrepentant regarding the arc of chaos, mass murder, terrorism, civilizational destruction it has created stretching from Libya to Syria, now seeks openly to extend it further into Iran using precisely the same tactics the use of terrorist proxies to dismantle and destroy Iranian society. While Lieberman, General Jones, and Colonel Martin all failed categorically to accurately describe the true nature of the MEK terrorists they seek to support in a proxy war with Iran, the US policy papers these three lobbyists are reading from have done so and in great detail. 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 ofUS 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. Image: MEK terrorists in Iraq, 1997. Saddam Hussein used MEK terrorists to wage proxy war on Iran. Ironically despite accusing Hussein of state-sponsored terrorism for just such a policy, the US eagerly inherited the terrorist organization and has since then aspired to use MEK in a similar fashion. 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. 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. Not once is any of this backstory mentioned in the testimony of any of the witnesses before the senate hearing, defiling the memories of those who have been murdered and otherwise victimized by this terrorist organization. The de-listing of MEK in 2012 as a foreign terrorist organization by the US State Department is another indictment of the utter lack of principles the US clearly hides behind rather than in any way upholds as a matter of executing foreign policy. MEK has already afforded the US the ability to wage a low-intensity conflict with Iran. MEKs role in doing so was eagerly discussed in 2009, several years before it was even de-listed as a terrorist organization by the US State Department in the Brooking Institutions policy paper Which Path to Persia? Options for a New American Strategy Toward Iran (PDF). The report stated (emphasis added): 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 movementestablished 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, contendsthat the MEK and the NCRI are allies for regime change in Tehranand 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 civilianand 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. Proof that Brookings policy paper was more than a mere theoretical exercise, in 2012 MEK would indeed be de-listed by the US State Department with support for the terrorist organization expanded. The fact that former senators and retired generals representing well-funded corporate think tanks even just this week are plotting to use MEK to overthrow the Iranian government should raise alarms that other criminality conspired within the pages of this policy paper may still well be in play. Lieberman himself suggests that proxy war and regime-change should proceed regardless of the so-called nuclear deal with the 2009 Brookings report itself having stated 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. Clearly, both Brookings in 2009, and Lieberman this week have conspired to use the so-called Iranian Nuclear Deal as cover for betrayal and regime change. For those wondering why Russia has intervened in Syria in the matter that it has, it should be plainly obvious. The US has no intention to stop in Syria. With Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya behind it, and Syria within its clutches, it is clear that Iran is next, and inevitably this global blitzkrieg will not stop until it reaches Moscow and Beijing. Image: Russia is not in Syria to merely prop up the Syrian government it is in Syria to stop a global blitzkrieg that has consumed several nations before Syria, and will consume all nations after Syria, including Russia itself. Even as the US adamantly denies the obvious that is has intentionally created and is currently perpetuating Al Qaeda, the so-called Islamic State, and other terrorist groups in Syria, it is openly conspiring to use another army of terrorists against neighboring Iran, live before a US Senate hearing. Should the US succeed in Syria, it would not be the end of the conflict, but only the end of the beginning of a much wider world war. Tony Cartaluccis articles have appeared on many alternative media websites, including his own at Land Destroyer Report, Alternative Thai News Network and LocalOrg. Joe LieBerman,his interest is greater Israel. Notice not once mentioned why Syria is in the USA gun cross hairs. ObviousOil/Gas pipeline to Europe and put Russia out of business and jUSA controls the world for another 100 years. Israel does not allow DUALcitizens to hold public office. Why does America? How do you inherit a terrorist organization? That makes no sense. If Saddam Hussein used them to attack Iran, and then we used them to attack Iran, it means Hussein was running them on our behalf. (He was installed by the CIA, after all.) How else would we have gotten in touch with them? Or gotten into the position to employ them? Is there anyone left in the world, (other than American Sheeple), who is not aware that the evil minions from the District of Columbia are international war criminals? 
3	#Anonymous Declares War on Mainstream Media: Attacks Fox, CNN, NBC and MoreBy Nick Bernabe Broadly speaking, the goal of the #OpSilence is to attack all the corrupt major news networks that mislead and censor information from the general public. More specifically, the news agencies who conceal the crimes of Israel, while misleading the population about the mistreatment of the Palestinian people. The operation is off to a quick start, Ghost Squad has successfullycarried out DDoS attacks on CNN and FOX News already just this month. More attacks are promised, NBC and MSM appears to be their next target. s1ege (@s1ege_) June 1, 2016 When Tech.mic and Softpedia presented their coverage of the hacks, they included images and references directly to Anonymous. But upon reading these articles, Ghost Squad had a message of their own that they want everyone to hear: ALL OF THE MEDIA WHO REPORTS ON OUR ATTACKS #OPSILENCE IS GSH OP NOT ANONOP WE ARE NOT AND I REPEAT NOT ANONYMOUS s1ege (@s1ege_) June 1, 2016 It is no secret Ghost Squad has a close affiliation with Anonymous; I am sure this is how the group got started in the first place. The group insists they speak for themselves, they are essentially trying to get their own reputation credibility. But there is a second layer to this discussion highlighting the recent divide within Anonymous. There has been a Civil War of sorts in recent months, and the reputation of the Anonymous collective as a whole has been damaged. Last winter, prominent hacktivist group Ghostsec also cut their ties with Anonymous. In a statement they saidAnonymous has a habit of shooting in every direction and asking questions later. In other interviews they imply that Anonymous has developed a reputation for behaving immature more concerned with silly DDoSing attacks than changing the world. Since the quarreling of #OpWhiteRose many people have splintered off, or left Anonymous entirely just another in the long list of strange effects Donald Trump has had on the entire world. Ghost Squad is one of the groups effected by this Civil War. In the time since this happened last March, the group has exploded onto the scene, quickly becoming one of the most influential and talked about hacking groups in the entire world in 2016. I have no doubt about the origins of this operation though, this goes back to#OpMediaControl which began last June. The operation called for the hacking of every major news network in the United States, testing their email systems, DDoSing web sites, attempting to hack in teleprompters or live feeds anything you could think of. Last I heard back in December, they were still trying to recruit people to join them for an event this summer. Sound familiar to what Ghost Squad is doing right now? The following video was from #OpMediaControl release last June: For the purposes of accuracy, AnonHQ News reached out to our contacts in#OpMediaControl. We gave them a preview of the article and asked them what they thought. They showed us a press release dating May 28, 2016, a video proclaiming that#OpMediaControl has been re-engaged. Of course, #OpSilence proceeded to begin June 1st. In another interesting note, earlier last month Anonymous Resistance Movement, one of the groups behind #OpMediaControl, conducted an interview with GhostSquad. So as you can see, the two groups are well acquainted with one another these operations are no coincidence. Ghost Squad may be stepping up from the pack here, but make no mistake, this operation has been in the making for over a year and Anonymous led the way.

1	In a landslide decision, the people of Texas elected a .44-caliber revolver to the U.S. Senate Tuesday. The newly elected senator. The victory marks the first ever for a handgun in a federal election. 'It gives me great pleasure to know that the people of the Republic of Texas will be represented in Washington by such a well-crafted firearm,' Texas Gov. George W. Bush said at the gun's victory celebration. 'I am confident that, with the tremendous stopping power of its .44 Magnum caliber, this handgun will strongly defend Texans' interests on Capitol Hill.' Taking 87 percent of the popular vote, the El Paso-based gun handily defeated Democratic opponent Karl Janssen, who ran on a platform of guaranteed child care, increased education spending, and tax incentives for small businesses. The gun's campaign focused on its deep nickel plating, the smooth action of its finely machined cylinder, and the crisp, positive pull of its trigger. Showing remarkable political savvy for a first-time candidate, the gun took an impressive 71 percent of the women's vote by prominently displaying its elegant pearl grips and well-tooled leather holster throughout the campaign. Though the gun was unavailable for comment on its decisive victory, Andrew Lawford, campaign director for Gun '97, issued a brief press release stating that the gun was 'humbled by the honor of representing the people of Texas on Capitol Hill, and would do its best to maintain its policy of being a double-action centerfire pistol, the sort of good, honest firearm which has served Texans so proudly in the past.' Gun '97 supporters cheer their candidate at a post-election victory rally in Lubbock. In his statement, Lawford also thanked the many groups that endorsed the gun, including the Sam Houston Society, Citizens For An Independent Texas and the National Rifle Association. Supporters cited a variety of reasons for voting for the weapon. 'I have the deepest respect for Mr. Janssen,' said George Remnick, a 47-year-old hardware-store owner from Corpus Christi. 'He was well-informed on important Texas issues, had some good ideas concerning tax restructuring, and gave me the impression of being a tough but fair-minded person. But when I saw the gun's well-machined action and nickel-plated, six-inch barrel, I just thought to myself, 'Which one of these candidates do I want representing me on Capitol Hill?'' 'Honesty, integrity, independence: This gun stands for the same things that I and so many other Texans do,' said Jack Tyler, a San Antonio marketing consultant. 'And, to be honest, those are values I don't see a whole lot of politicians possessing nowadays. What it came down to for me was a sense that, unlike Mr. Janssen, this gun is a good, old-fashioned, God-fearing American, the kind I can identify with.' Tyler said the fact that the gun's ancestors fought at the Alamo and fired on Pancho Villa 'certainly didn't hurt.' 'It's about time we had some strong representation in Washington, the kind of tough legislator who's not afraid of a fight,' said Edward Wilson, owner of Skyydancer's, a Dallas-area gentlemen's club. 'This gun sends a strong message to the people of the U.S.: Don't Mess With Texas.' 
2	BREAKING: ISIS Announces Attack On These U.S. Major Cities According to disturbing new reports, San Francisco and Las Vegas are the latest American cities threatened by ISIS in a video released by the terrorist group. The footage, which praises Orlando terrorist Omar Mateen, includes clips of the police response to the massacre at the Pulse nightclub. It also shows footage of the Golden Gate Bridge and several other San Francisco landmarks as well as the Las Vegas Strip. The disturbing video also features images of President Obama with blood spattered on the screen, as well as images of Obama with French President Francois Hollandewith flames closing in on them. According to reports, the voiceover included with the video is encouraging more attacks in San Francisco in the same vein as the Pulse incident in Orlando The video also shows footage of the Council on American Islamic Relations, and accuses them of cooperating with non-believers. Last week, ISIS called for attacks on Brussels and Berlin in the wake of the Brexit vote. Many believe that was an attempt to further destabilize Europe. New York, Washington and Orlando were all cited as possible ISIS targets as well. The Obama administration continues to ignore its top level advisers at the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, Leo Dunson wrote on Conservative Daily Post. ISIS is a serious threat that needs to be met by the full force of the United States Military and our Intelligence Agencies. What do you think of the latest development? Should the administration be taking these threats very seriously?

2	WARNING: ISIS Insurgents Located Near El Paso, Texas Plotting THIS According to government watchdog group Judicial Watch, members of the Islamic State have officially set up camp in Ciudad Jaurez, jus eight miles outside of El Paso, Texas. This comes shortly after President Obamas claims that American is safer than it has been in decades. For years now, the Southern border has been struggling to protect itself against the inflow of illegal immigrantswith little to no help from the government. The problem has only gotten worse with the recent announcement of Obamas illegal executive action regarding amnesty. In fact, his actions have quite literally opened the door to our enemies, including Islamic terrorist groups. Details are still being uncovered, but Judicial Watch reports that intelligence officials have confirmed that Islamic State insurgents are operating out of a base camp at Ciudad Juarez. Still, the DHS claims that the DHS and FBI are unaware of any specific, credible threat to the U.S. homeland from ISIL. What do you think? Does the mere presence of an Islamic terrorist base camp seem like significant enough a threat to you? 
3	Facebook Can Now Identify You in Pictures Even Without Your Face ShowingBy Claire Bernish In fact, Facebooks algorithms can accurately identify an individual user from among 800 million picturesin less than five seconds98% of the time. Using its artificial intelligence laba rather Orwellian acquisition for a social media platformFacebook researcher Yann LeCun wanted to determine if the same algorithms already used for facial recognition could be adjusted to scrutinize other cues. LeCun, an expert in computer vision and pattern recognition who came to Facebook in 2013, explained that identifying cueslike body type or the way a person standscould be taken into consideration by the technology the way humans already do. There are a lot of cues we use. People have characteristic aspects, even if you look at them from the back. For example, you can recognize Mark Zuckerberg very easily, because he always wears a gray T-shirt, he explained. From a pool of 40,000 public photos found on Flickrsome with faces fully visible and others partially or completely hiddenthe tweaked algorithm successfully identified people 83% of the time, though the company says that figure has been as high as 98%. Facebook claims the system will help users of the new Moments feature, which automatically sorts uploaded photos by eventsuch as a graduation or birthday partyand tags the people who attended. LeCun believes the tool could eventually be a boon for the privacy-minded by alerting them whenever their picture appears anywhere onlineeven if their face is obscured. But this has ignited a rather obvious controversy. If, even when you hide your face, you can be successfully linked to your identity, that will certainly concern people, said Ralph Gross of Carnegie Mellon University. Now is a time when its important to discuss these questions. Though the algorithm is strikingly advanced, its very concept allows a rather gaping potential for abuse. When identifying someone in public is as simple as an automated algorithm, there is no opting out. Facial recognition is yet another example of technology outpacing law. Talks held last week by U.S. government agencies to establish guidelines for the new technology failed miserably when privacy advocates stormed out in protest. At issue was the answer to a seemingly simple question: If you are walking down the street, a public street, should a company be able to identify you without your permission? Alvaro Bedoya of the Georgetown University Law Center and other privacy advocates in attendance thought this was an easy no, but tech industry representatives didnt share the sentiment. We asked if we can agree on this edge case, he explained, but not a single company would support it. What facial recognition allows is a world without anonymity [] Companies are already marketing products that will let a stranger point a camera at you and identify you by name and by your dating profile. I think most reasonable people would find this appalling. Its arguable that anyone who doesnt lacks understanding of the technologyor doesnt fully grasp the implications. The if you havent done anything wrong then you have nothing to hide aphorism only goes so farespecially when the choice to hide is no longer yours to make. You walk into a car dealership and the salesman knows your name and how much you make, Bedoya warned. Thats not a world I want to live in. Thanks to Facebook, it might be too late.

1	Saying the command was not very specific and lacked any real substance, confused members of the Carolina Panthers football team were forced to call a timeout Sunday so they could try to figure out what their fans meant by 'Go!' 'Did they think we might stop playing the game or something? Because we weren't going to do that. We're under contract,' quarterback Cam Newton told reporters, adding that fans should be a little more clear next week in terms of what they want. 'I don't think they were telling us to go in a specific direction, either. Like forward or to the left or something. Overall, it was just really frustrating.' Following the press conference, the Panthers had a team meeting, assumed the fans wanted them to leave North Carolina, and moved the franchise to Los Angeles. 
3	3 More States Propose Bills to Resist Federal Gun Controlselfnews Post Three states are also taking a stand against federal restrictions being proposed for gun ownership: Kentucky, Montana, and Alaska. It has been exhaustively proven that tighter gun regulations do not result in a safer society, but in fact do help pave the way for democide. As pressure from the U.S. government to disarm the population intensifies, it is important to look at the legislation introduced by these three states as models for what can be implemented across the nation. 1. Kentucky approved bill SB 129 by a vote of 34-3, which seeks to render all federal rules and regulations as unenforceable. Significantly, it mentions gun registration: (b) Require any firearm, magazine, or other firearm accessory to be registered in any manner. Take Action in Kentucky: Contact your state Representative. Strongly, but respectfully, let him or her know that you want them to vote YES on SB129. Contact Information: The full Montana bill (.pdf) can be found HERE Take Action in Montana: Contact your State Senator. Make sure they know you want them to vote YES on HB302. If the federal government is going to try even more attacks on the 2nd amendment, Montana will not have ANY part of it. And, by doing so, Montana will help play an important part in the demise of such unconstitutional plans. Contact Information: The bill goes on to highlight that it is a class B misdemeanor punishable by a $2,000 fine and up to 90 days in jail under AS 12.55 for, an official, agent, or employee of the federal government who enforces, attempts to enforce a federal statute, regulation, rule, or order that is unenforceable under this section. The full text of this bill (.pdf) can be found HERE Take Action in Alaska: Contact your state Senator. Strongly, but respectfully, let him or her know that you want them to vote YES on HB69. Contact Information: There is a simple reason why tragedy can never be permitted to re-write essential freedom: the possibility that tragedies can be manufactured by the very government that later rides in to make emotional appeals for sweeping changes. It has happened before, and it is sure to happen again. It is a positive sign that the hard work of activists on many fronts is finally coming to fruition and coalescing to such a degree that states are clarifying and solidifying their lines in the sand.

3	New KFC Restaurant Run Entirely by RobotsBy Nick Bernabe According to Chinese news outlet Sohu, Du Mi marks the first commercial use of artificial intelligence in the fast food industry. The artificial intelligence robot was launched by Chinas leading Web services company Baidu during its World Conference in 2015. KFC hopes that the hip new automated restaurant will attract young customers with its free wireless phone charging stations and human-less service. But its not just KFC, and its not just China where automation, robots, and artificial intelligence is taking the place of human workers. If and when these automated restaurants gain traction in places like China, they are sure to be implemented in the U.S. as well. In fact, they already are though to a lesser extent, for now. McDonalds and other food chains are experimenting with digital kiosks similar to the self-checkout machines already found in many grocery stores. In fact, as we covered recently at Anti-Media, automation is set to replace human jobs across broad sectors of the U.S. and world economies: [T]he Bank of England is preparing for automation to shed 80 million American jobs and 15 million British jobs within the next 10 to 20 years. This is approximately 50% of the U.S. and British workforce. Forbes has put the number at 45%. The ongoing debate surrounding robots, A.I., and automation displacing human workers is a delicate yet very important one. Manyexperts, including Stephen Hawking, have warnedof the dangers of monopolistic artificial intelligence while others believe with the right direction from people, robots and technology can liberate humanity from manual labor. The inevitable automation of the worlds economy will reshape society as we know it. Minimum wages will no longer protect workers as employers shift to using robots who will never ask for breaks, pay, raises, or healthcare. Worker unions may essentially be rendered useless. Militaries will eventually no longer need humans to fight wars. Additionally, Uber, Lyft, taxi and limousine drivers, and other driving jobscould soon be replaced by self-driving cars as automation also changes the way we think about transportation altogether. Automation is loved, feared, and hated by many, but only time will tell how it will change our lives for better or worse.

The ultimate question that comes to this human CPU should be on every corporate entity out there in cyber space if you replace workers with robots, where will the customers come from to purchase these edibles Sounds like a real nuts and bolts dilemma in my analysis! Thou shalt NOT harm humans! And if most everything for sale in the US is manufactured in China, where will the customers come from to purchase everything else? I wish I was smart enough to hack into the system and have all the food gave away for free. People would soon be on the scene serving. Im going to take my sexy robot wife to the automated KFC for dinner. Cherry 2000 model? OMG this movie looks awesome. Going to download it right now. I read that it only made $14000 dollars at the box office LOL I read another article about a week ago, how all the Chinese restaurants have quite using their robots. They are using just one, in one restaurant,as a sort of greeter. They actually did a poorer job then the human ones did. So, for now, they have gone back to people. So how are people going to pay for these products WITH NO JOBS? The economy is only serving the 1% and maybe only a smaller percentage of that number. If people dont have jobs, they wont be buying KFC, Big Macs, etc unless the intent is to give EVERYBODY WELFARE. And how does that get funded? Or do we just kill off the surplus population? 
2	Welfare Recipients Just Got SLAMMED With Some Terrible News [VIDEO] According to recent reports, Arizonas Republican-led Legislature just reduced the lifetime limit for welfare recipients. If the bill passes, they will have the shortest window in the nation, with families on welfare being cut off after just 12 months. The Arizona Department of Economic Security will drop by at least 1,600 families by July of next year. The $4 million cut are indicative of a changing attitude among lawmakers, who are taking a close look at the $1 billion budget deficit. As a society, we are encouraging people at times to make poor decisions and then we reward them, Republican Sen. Kelli Ward told reporters. Of course, some welfare recipients and liberals are staunchly against the plan. Especially when most states have a five-year limit. What do you think? Do you support the cut? 
3	You Should Have Expected U.S.: Series of Attacks Hit Midwest Ahead of Massive Electric Grid DrillMelissa Melton The attacks began back in September: In the early morning hours of September 29, 2013, officials with Entergy Arkansas reported a fire at its Keo substation located on Arkansas Highway 165 between Scott and England in Lonoke County. Fortunately, there were no injuries and no reported power outages. Investigation has determined that the fire, which consumed the control house at the substation, was intentionally set. The person or persons responsible for this incident inscribed a message on a metal control panel outside the substation which reads, YOU SHOULD HAVE EXPECTED U.S. (source) These attacks are especially troubling considering their timing ahead of a massive joint power grid drill scheduled for next month to include the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The GridEx II grid security exercise set for November 13-14 will involve FBI antiterrorism units, National Guard, thousands of utility workers and business executives, as well as government officials from all three nations to simulate widespread grid takedown scenarios. More troubling is a sudden talking point shift to the vulnerability of the U.S. power grid by multiple government officials, including outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, who recently issued an open letter to her successor warning that a cyber or physical event that takes out the power grid will occur stating that it is not a question of if but when. We are only one act of madness away from a social cataclysm unlike anything our country has ever known. Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ), Senior Member House Armed Service Committee EMP is one of the small number of threats that could hold at risk the continued existence of U.S. civil society. Dr. Robert Hermann, Commissioner US Congress EMP Commission Just one violent active region on the sun can cause continent-wide, perhaps even planetary-scale impacts to our critical infrastructure. John Kappenman, Principal Investigator US Congress EMP Commission The likelihood of a severe geo-magnetic event capable of crippling our electric grid is 100%. Congresswoman Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Senior Member House Homeland Security Committee If the power grid were to be taken out, it would throw this country into total chaos. Unlike in the times of the Great Depression, when people farmed their own land and grew food gardens, somewhere between 96-98% of the nation is dependent on the other 2-4% for their food. Many people do not keep more than a few days worth of food and water on hand, and survival and preparedness skills arent exactly taught in schools these days. Regardless of how the power grid goes down, the important thing is to make sure you and your family are prepared if or when it does. As Daisy Luther of Organic Prepper wrote, Youve been warned.

3	(1913-2013) One Hundred Years of Darkness Ends: Bitcoin Breaks the BankJack Mullen It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning. Henry Ford The powers vested in the Federal Reserve Board seem to me highly dangerous, especially where there is political control of the Board. I should be sorry to hold stock in a bank subject to such domination. The bill as it stands seems to me to open the way to a vast inflation of the currency. I had hoped to support this bill, but I can not vote for it as it stands, because it seems to me to contain features and to rest upon principles in the highest degree menacing to our prosperity, to stability in business, and to the general welfare of the people of the United States. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Dec 17, 1913 Glinda :Youve always had the power to go back to Kansas. Frank Baums Wizard of Oz The single most important and by far the most powerful blow to post-Rome humanity has been the global banking cartels attachment of a counterfeit United States Federal agency (The Federal Reserve) to the organic United States Treasury; a parasite, attaching itself to the economic life blood of the American States. The so-called Federal Reserve act, signed on a lonely 23rd day of December 1913, when congressional representatives had either already gone home for Christmas or were getting ready to depart, was the culmination of more than 100 years of effort on the part of banking cartels scheming to engorged themselves on the wealth of America. Inventing money borrowed into existence steals wealth in two primary ways. First, through interest payments on money borrowed. Since no money actually exists but is only printed or created as needed, the interest payments are payments for use of something non-existent. The introduction of non-required interest payments means more money must be repaid than borrowed. Over time, interest payments will cause more borrowing, since there are always obligations for greater amounts of money than currently exists in the system. Again, because every dollar in the system has been borrowed, there can never be enough money to cover repayment of loans and the obligated interest; money therefore must be created to cover rising interest payments. Theft occurs as money is transferred to bankers for doing absolutely nothing. These interest payments become claims against real property, so property is stolen by bankers demanding interest to cover use of money merely printed as needed. Note: This concept is applicable to all loans, including non commercial loans such as home loans. The second reason is a corollary to the first: outright counterfeiting. Counterfeiting is borrowing and spending excess money, causing money supply growth beyond what is necessary for healthy market credit and stabilized prices. Counterfeiting results in increasing interest payments (stealing wealth through interest payments) and decreasing purchasing power of each existing dollar in the system (as more dollars are available for the same number of goods). Eventually counterfeiting will lead to gradual price increases affecting some groups far more than others. Counterfeiting is used to fund outrageous expansions of key insider industry, industry shielded from regulation and taxation and protected by artificial barriers erected to eliminate competition. Typical excuses for counterfeiting wildly include, hyperbolic claims for more military, security and intelligence hardware and manpower. The war on terror (since 2001) is an example of a fabricated excuse for counterfeiting money; money to be spent on insider industry. The False Flag attack on the World Trade Centers was a klaxon sounding an urgent warning and government script writers created frightening narratives supporting a call for more security. What followed, naturally, was an explosion in demand for more police state, laws to protect Citizens against terrorism, demand for prisons (as new laws are broken), and demand for technology and manpower necessary to support it all. Counterfeiting of debt-based money results in abnormal growth of privileged industry (protected cartels) destabilizing the market as disproportionate resources, directed to monopoly industry, over-value the monopoly industry, actualizing self-reinforcing and lucrative incentives for corruption, fraud and criminally created demand. The American economy has been destabilized by monopolies of military, police, prison pharmaceutical-food-healthcare industry. Without competition, and given sources of freely available counterfeit money, these industries have risen to the status of too big to fail and too big to kill. To continue to survive and grow, metastasizing industries begin to manufacture demand for their products and services by creating war, crime, statutes, unhealthy food, and sickness. It follows naturally and is corollary, controllers of the money supply will absolutely own corporations destabilizing and consuming wealth of the market. The end result will be a small number of protected corporations, in cooperation with subsidiary support companies such as insurance and banking, law production, etc., devouring the wealth and energies of people forced to accept the currency and participate in the market, ie., slavery will emerge. I believe America is being eaten alive by tumorous growths of monopolized industry. These industries can only survive if: The final destruction of wealth coming to a debt based money system is currency self destruction, happening when interest payments outgrow the supply of money. What follows will be a credit collapse as interest rates rise signaling a credit shortage. A credit crises is self reinforcing and is highly destructive to the economy and inevitably the currency. The coming, breath taking, collapse has been forestalled by genius market rigging, keeping interest rates low, long term forex scams maintaining control of inflation and tight manipulation of monetary metals prices. The final collapse of the dollar will come fast after a bond event results in falling bond prices and the collapse of the US Bond Ponzi-bubble. The passage of the Federal Reserve Act resulted in a slow growing cancer on the wealth of America; tumors at first small, began to grow as bankers transform citizen pipe dreams into collectivism. Collectivism is a multifaceted deception used to create demand for money as whims for safety and security are satiated with fiscal growth; the growth having no real purpose except to enslave the population to a control system of wealth transfer by deception. Since 1913, the United States has started or insinuated (through false flag events) itself in non retaliatory major wars on the average of one every 15 years including: WWI, WWII, the Korean Conflict, the Vietnam War, the first Gulf War, and the second Gulf War. After 2001, the United States has been in continuous war in the mid East, Africa and clandestine operations around the world. All wars are funded with borrowed money, spilling money to bankers while the blood of Americas sons and daughters is spilled on foreign soil. American controllers continued exportation of war and empire through occupation; building more than 1000 military bases in over 100 nations around the world. The United States has 100 military bases in South Korea alone. Occupying foreign nations is a expensive ongoing commitment, draining the resources of Americans and streaming large sums of wealth to bankers; bankers vicariously reveling in bloody combat and the destruction of American wealth. In addition to offshore wars, the United States has prosecuted an ever increasing war on Americans. War is declared with relentless assaults on American liberty, even those protected by the Constitution and Bill Of Rights. Home Land wars, such as the fabricated war on drugs, or attacks on citizens using pretend police forces like the TSA at public places (flouting the Fourth Amendment) such as airports, are expensive deceptions, serving several purposes, squandering American wealth to monopoly corporations and streaming interest payments to parasite bankers, while de-industrializing and collectivizing the American political economic system. Continuous war has transformed the United States from a Republic serving the interests of citizens to an Empire serving the needs of financiers (interest payments.) Glinda: [Dorothy] Keep tight inside of them [shoes] their magic must be very powerful, or she[wicked witch of the East] wouldnt want them so badly! The concept of debt money is not new, but an ancient form of magic; magic in the form of human organization. People accepting debt based, otherwise valueless slips of paper, create energy in a spell of belief. Once under the spell, money holders participate unconsciously in slavery because participation creates demand for new money and new money transfers productive energies of the holders to the collectors ( money==magic creators.) The spell of debt-based money (money that has been engineered to lose purchasing power each moment it is in existence) is easier to create than to hold. Holding the spell requires energy and the energy manifests as force. Dollar holders are forced to use only dollars as money, the spell remains in effect only so long as people continue to believe in the magic. As the good witch Glinda explained to Dorothy: Youve always had the power to go back to Kansas. Glinda explains to the scarecrow, I didnt tell her before Because she wouldnt have believed me. She had to learn it for herself. To break the slavery, end the wars, stop the misery and suffering, all we need to do is use our power. Recognize Collectivism as a psychological tool for enticing free people to cooperate in their own enslavement. Acknowledge debt-based, central bank issued money, as the currency of slavery and realize accepting debt created banker paper as money is metaphorically accepting chains enslaving the holder into the service of the currency creators. Breaking free from the spell of debt based money is almost as easy as clicking your heels together and saying three times there is no such thing as a dollar. To end the slavery, recognize the dollar and all things dollar (banks, IMF, dollar loans, dollar derivative investment contracts, dollar contracts, dollar based bonds, and dollar based foreign reserves) are fictions and realize by acknowledging and using the currency you are agreeing to transfer your wealth and efforts of your labor to an unrelated third party. Gold, Silver and Things of Value The debate about ending dollar debt-based currency often bogs down in arguments about what should back a new currency. Replacing a currency becomes more difficult when replacement options are so hotly debated. Entrenched schools of thought vociferously defend various paradigms regarding the nature of money. A widely subscribed belief says gold is money and should be considered for backing any new currency that comes into existence. The idea being that gold has historically been an internationally accepted currency because gold has equivalent intrinsic value and will retain its exchange value. Gold is said to have no counter-party risks because the exchange is a direct value for value exchange, similar to a barter except with a fungible currency. Gold being apparently somewhat low in supply, and having recognized valuable properties, creates demand for the metal resulting in intrinsic value, gold would eliminate risk, and promise the holder a very stable value of purchasing power. Gold has historically maintained its purchasing power over thousands of years. Gold is not the only metal available with valuable properties suitable for use as a currency; metals such as silver and platinum have each been considered excellent choices for currency. The downside of metals as money has also been historically recognized and these caveats are significant and must be considered carefully before using metals as a primary media of exchange. Some arguments such as Gold is too heavy, or not in great enough supply to act as a backer of currency are false (see goldmoney.com for explanation.) As to gold supplies, there are no actual estimates of all the gold in the world, because much of the worlds gold is off the books, in vaults and out of site. Gold has been plundered and hidden for thousands of years. It is reported and widely believed the Japanese plundered and stole thousands of tons of gold during their conquest of China and island nations in the Pacific prior to World War II. Japans gold was hidden, even as WWII came to an end, the Japanese were still hiding stolen gold. Much of the Japanese stolen wealth has been discovered and again stolen by forces operating under NATO and the United States. The Vatican is purported to have enormous reserves of gold and other caches are located around the world. The bottom line is there are enormous quantities of gold some in plain sight, more occulted and plenty yet to be mined. Gold supply, however, is also a negative factor in the use of gold as currency. Because large quantities of gold are stored or otherwise offline during a period instituting gold as a currency, this hidden gold supply is not factored into prices of goods valued in gold. With sudden appearances of large quantities of gold, market prices, interest rates, contract values etc., can be destabilized in short periods of time. Also having large caches of gold will give the holders the advantage of being bankers, loaning gold into the system at interest. Loaning gold or metals at interest is critically problematic. Even though the currency is not borrowed into existence, (like a debt based currency) gold, as a currency, will be lent with interest to fund capital improvements, home buying, etc. Loaning currency backed by gold (or other metal) at compound interest will result in problems over time, because gold is streamed to bankers in the form of interest. Loans of gold requiring compound interest payments mean more gold must be paid to the bankers than originally lent. Eventually market destabilizing quantities of gold will end up in the hands of lenders leading to rising interest rates. Gold will be transferred to the very same people having gold to lend in the first place, and eventually all the wealth of the market will be transferred to the bankers. This fact is historically validated and seems to be the theme of the 1901 printing of L. Frank Baums The Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz. To make matters worse, since gold and silver and other metals are globally acceptable currencies, these metals may eventually migrate offshore, leaving Americans in the same positions as the Founding Fathers during the years before the American Revolution. All money of value was streamed to England, leaving very little money for operations in the Colonies. Therefore, the problem with using commodities with intrinsic value is, schemes will emerge to transfer those commodities to stronger hands, leaving the currency market lacking of supply. Interest rates will remain high and those with commodities to loan will control the nature of the market. These problems are mitigated somewhat if multiple metal currencies are accepted facilitating competition of interest rates. Greenbacks Many thinkers and scholars interested in money have noted very good systems of currency have evolved taking the form of valueless vouchers representing purchasing power. The value of the vouchers is derived from an agreement among holders to exchange vouchers for things of value. Remembering a market is about products and services and not about the currency used to exchange these goods, it should be easily understandable vouchers represent products un-purchased. Vouchers as currency in a market are, and should be, as good as the products and services they represent. In a market with quality products of diverse kinds, serving diverse needs (a fully evolved market), the value of the voucher should be indistinguishable from the value of goods in the market. The caveat being vouchers are created in numbers proportional to the size of the market of goods and services and as required to keep prices stable. Vouchers as currency must NOT be loaned into the market place at interest, but rather spent into the market place. Systems of government based on protection of a free market and individual liberty of participants can spend vouchers into the market according to monetary size of the market in terms of goods and services and the requirements for stable prices. Vigilance against counterfeiting is an added cost of using vouchers, history teaches counterfeiting is the primary nemesis of stable-prices voucher based currencies. Loans of vouchers into the market will also be possible except not at compound interest rates. Loans can be made for a limited and minimal fee. Fees to be used to cover costs of printing and maintaining credit histories etc. An example of the use of interest free vouchers is the Greenbacks issued by Abraham Lincoln to fund the Norths war against the South. Lincoln having approached the central banks of the day, looking for loans of debt currency, was shocked at interest rates being asked for painted paper slips (so-called money) the bankers had to loan. Under the advice of Colonel Dick Taylor, a friend and confidant, the Lincoln government created and spent in the market $450 million in interest free vouchers called Greenbacks. When Lincoln questioned Taylor about the logistics and implementation of using Greenbacks, Taylor responded with this truly remarkable and simple explanation: The government should create, issue and circulate all the currency and credit needed to satisfy the spending power of the government and the buying power of consumers . . . The privilege of creating and issuing money is not only the supreme prerogative of Government, but it is the Governments greatest creative opportunity. By the adoption of these principles, the long-felt want for a uniform medium will be satisfied. The taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest, discounts and exchanges. The financing of all public enterprises, the maintenance of stable government and ordered progress, and the conduct of the Treasury will become matters of practical administration. The people can and will be furnished with a currency as safe as their own government. Money will cease to be the master and become the servant of humanity. Democracy will rise superior to the money power. The use of Greenbacks by Lincoln was wildly successful, so much so, bankers writing in the London Times during this period said: If this mischievous financial policy, which has its origin in North America, shall become endurated down to a fixture, then that Government will furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off debts and be without debt. It will have all the money necessary to carry on its commerce. It will become prosperous without precedent in the history of the world. The brains, and wealth of all countries will go to North America. That country must be destroyed or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe. In the end the bankers were successful in insinuating themselves back into their perched position of parasitic control of the national currency, but the history of the Greenback continued far into the 1900s as the last Greenback apparently went out of circulation in 1994. It is also notable that John F. Kennedy, recognizing the fantastic financial and economic control bankers had over America, decided to work toward ending the Federal Reserve and revisited Lincoln and Taylors idea of Greenbacks. With JFKs executive order 11110 the Treasury Department was instructed to to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver bars, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury. In essence Kennedy was issuing interest free money backed by silver as new currency that would circulate and, if this practice continued, would have driven out Federal Reserve Notes, since they were backed by nothing and were suffering substantial loss in purchasing power. Both Lincoln and Kennedy died by assassination, one can wonder if attempts to move away from central banking debt currency to interest-free currency might have been a motive in both tragic deaths. Crypto Currencies: Digital Currency for a Digital Age In January 2009 the Genesis Block of Bitcoin was mined, producing 50 Bitcoins. According to the legend of Bitcoin, some person or group of people calling themselves Satoshi Nakamoto created the Bitcoin protocol, algorithm and supporting cryptography; introducing the world to a new digital currency. Bitcoin, now joined by other digital currencies including Litecoin, Namecoin, PPC and more, is called crypto currency because it relies on cryptography. The word crypto is defined as secret or hidden; a crypto currency is therefore something functioning like currency involving secret ciphers or mathematical encoding ensuring a digital Bitcoin is unique and self contained. Rather than relying on a central issuing authority, Bitcoin relies on a distributed network of computers, not owned or controlled by a central body, to maintain the integrity of the Bitcoin blockchain and uses sophisticated cryptography to ensure each Bitcoin is unique and includes a digital pedigree eliminating counterfeiting and other financial fraud bedeviling paper and digital non-crypto currencies. Bitcoins are discovered using a mathematical process called mining. The term mining is a metaphor for noting the creation of new Bitcoins is not a process of duplication or printing, but rather, like gold mining and silver mining, Bitcoins require energy and work to bring into existence. Unlike paper money, Federal Reserve Notes, and other systems of vouchers, Bitcoin is not easily counterfeited. Before Bitcoins were originally issued it was already known only 21 million Bitcoins would ever be discovered. The mathematical nature of the algorithm ensures 21 million is the total number available in Bitcoin space. Each new block of Bitcoin coming into existence requires more energy to discover than the last one; so, as long as new coins are being mined, users of Bitcoin can assume the mining industry is bullish on Bitcoin. Unlike paper money and paper voucher systems, Bitcoin is infinitely divisible; therefore, as each Bitcoin becomes more valuable it is possible to spend smaller divisions of your Bitcoin to purchase the value of goods. Bitcoins are globally accepted now and can be spent or exchanged in nearly every country on Earth. Bitcoins are without a central controlling authority and no interest payment is required for each new Bitcoin discovered. Bitcoins are fungible, and according to market principals will eventually map themselves into the purchase of all goods and services available on Earth. The total GNP of the Earth, circa 2012, is on the order of 85 trillion dollars, meaning, theoretically, at some point 21 million Bitcoins can purchase those products and services, such that each coin could conceivably be worth roughly $4 million in 2013 dollars (a crude estimate). Bitcoin has the advantage of becoming more valuable as time goes on, since each Bitcoin costs more to discover and market acceptance will continue to increase its value faster than mining will dilute value; and, if we assume growth in market size, Bitcoin will not increase in number with increasing market valuations. Further, since each Bitcoin is unique, people losing their Bitcoins will further increase the value of all Bitcoins as less Bitcoins are available to purchase all products. Like gold and silver and other metals as currency, Bitcoin can be said to have some intrinsic value since each coin is unique, there are a limited number to be produced, and tangible amounts of energy was required in production. The nature of how much intrinsic value is a subject of a philosophical question, but we do know the Internet has intrinsic value and Bitcoin is a derivative of the Internet and is becoming increasingly valuable in Internet transactions. Bitcoins ease and low cost of use make it the easiest and cheapest way to do transactions on the Internet. Furthermore, since no central authority is authorizing or tracking or charging fees for transaction, the Bitcoin is clearly bringing added value to transactions made in Bitcoin. Bitcoin, like gold and silver and metals, can be accumulated by wealthy people hoping to either acquire great stores of wealth or manipulate the marketplace by holding coins off the market or temporarily affecting prices by selling large caches of the currency into the market. Unlike gold and silver and metals, Bitcoin is infinitely divisible, mitigating the damaging effects of coin hoarding. If coins are held off the market, the value of the remaining coins increases as less are available to purchase all products in the Bitcoin market space. As coins are removed from the market, smaller quantities of remaining coins will be used to maintain price stability. In the case of large caches of coins being sold into the market to reduce price, the effect on prices will be temporary, and as the coins are sold they go from concentration to dispersion. Coins dispersing outward into the market lead to diminishing effects on the price of the coin and, therefore, the effect of dumping causes changing prices at first and then greater price stability in the end. If Bitcoin lenders emerged on the Internet, requiring compound interest for use of Bitcoin, interesting and unexpected results may emerge. Bitcoin is not amendable to a fractional reserve banking scam, Bitcoin, to be loaned, has to already exist, so Bitcoin lenders must also have stock piles of Bitcoin. As Bitcoin becomes fully evolved and values approach the purchasing power on the order of one million 2013 dollars, the ability to lend portions of a Bitcoin with promises of more Bitcoin as interest is possible. Lending Bitcoin at compound Interest would mean streams of Bitcoin would flow toward Bitcoin lenders, but no additional Bitcoin could be loaned in the system to cover interest payments. With only small quantities of Bitcoin loaned at interest, existing Bitcoin supplies could be turned into interest payments as borrowers turn loaned Bitcoin into profit. In contrast to banker-style print and lend, interest rates for borrowing Bitcoin would rise very high very fast with any significant borrowing of the coin, quenching the borrowing desire. Bitcoin lending will quickly result in Bitcoin prices increasing again meaning all things priced in Bitcoin get cheaper not more expensive the opposite of lending money in a debt-based or voucher system. Many people question whether Bitcoin has been created by the same bankers now controlling the Federal Reserve. Some people refer to the coin as a scam and suggest those putting money into Bitcoin are sure to be robbed. This is a question I cannot answer except to say the following. Bitcoin is not a currency that would benefit bankers the same way as debt currency or voucher currency because Bitcoin cannot be counterfeited (I hesitate to say cant) and there is no interest payment associated with each new Bitcoin. Bitcoin, however, could become a global currency (NWO style), something the bankers attempted with the dollar. Theoretically, the Bitcoin could become the International Reserve Currency and over time other currencies could be eliminated, leaving only Bitcoin as the worlds primary currency. If Bitcoin became the primary world currency all advantages will disappear. Bitcoin wallets would likely become standardized and government issued (with backdoors reducing privacy.) As a global currency, Bitcoin might have to be registered to be spent and the distributive and private Bitcoin blockchain network could become globalized (as opposed to nationalized) and become the property of a world government. Regardless, over time, tighter control of Internet use, and improving technology to monitor Net transactions and the possible introduction of a World Government issued Bitcoin Wallet, it would be very easy to track all transactions and know immediately the currency holdings of all holders of Bitcoin. Long term, I expect the privacy benefits of Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies will be consumed by evolving technology, Skynet type technology, designed to totally monitor all digital activity of the human being. However, in the short run, Bitcoin is the best hope to Break the Bank and end the slavery of debt-based currency. Using Bitcoin now for more and more of your Internet purchases, plus transferring some of your debt currencys declining value into Bitcoin takes power from the bankers. Banker currency is ancient magic deriving power by belief, an alchemical religion turning nothing into dold. If people stop believing in the debt-based currency and have an alternative, we will live to see the End Of the Darkness. When the chains of debt-based currencies are removed, people have a chance to take back their power and keep their wealth; and before Bitcoin and the other coins are consumed by Skynet type technologies, perhaps a new system of currency will evolve. In the meantime, using Bitcoin to make transactions and store some wealth, while also moving wealth into gold and silver, especially silver, will provide the best of all possible worlds. Physical silver will hold your wealth, using Bitcoin will expand your markets and collapse the banker debt-based currency system. When the dollar dies, having all of your wealth out of the dollar would be the best decision you will ever make. End Notes: Debt as Fiction and Slavery All national debt denominated in dollars is fiction. Debt instruments created as derivative investment products and insurance scams against derivative debt products are fiction. Bank-created debt and derivative exposure is fiction with the end result being fictional claims against real property. The Chinese, for example, are not holding American debt, they are participating in a clever forex operation controlling dollar inflation while circulating dollar currency through fictional stages in a circle powered by claims on real American wealth. Debt claims created by borrowing phony, non existence money, is an illusion; it becomes real when those vacuous claims are exchanged (settled) for real property. Chinese products purchased with dollars are paid for after exchange, in Chinese currency (Renminbi.) Those building products for American purchase are paid in printed Renminbi and the dollars, now exchanged for Chinese currency, are stored in foreign reserve accounts balancing books of printed slips of paper against printed paper. These dollars, which have already extinguished the Chinese debt, are then recycled to buy American debt, sending streams of new dollars back to China as interest on the debt. At the end of this cycle, the Chinese are repaid the money loaned and those dollars, plus new dollars sent as interest, are available for purchasing more debt. Eventually the Chinese hold enough dollars to manipulate dollar inflation and US interest rates (mitigating inflation and prolonging debt based currency slavery) and also maintain currency pegs by buying and selling US Treasuries maintaining low prices for Chinese goods. As enormous sums of dollars (now over $3.6 Trillion) are collected by the Chinese much of American property is now claimed by Chinese held USD. Many reasons exist for off-shoring of American manufacturing, but interestingly as a significant proportion of American manufacturing ends up in China, the bankers enjoy the benefit of having all those dollars available to be re-spent by the Chinese buying US debt. If manufacturing was mostly done in the United States, these dollars would be dispersed out into the population, paying workers and suppliers and power companies etc., and not available for loaning to the Federal Government. Over time this system of debt purchase, debt repaid plus interest is a continuous open spigot on American wealth, siphoning all wealth out of a nation by creating huge claims against real property (dollars). Epilogue: The Five Year Plan to Recovery and Sovereignty To end this nightmare and rebuild America in five years (my guess), it would only be necessary to declare all Federal Reserve Notes void. Repudiate all national dollar debt, exchange void dollars held by America citizens for either Greenback vouchers or Bitcoin at some well thought out rate of exchange. All foreign exchange reserves would be pronounced void and all debt contracts with foreign nations repudiated. Next, declare all dollar-denominated agreements, instruments, and systems involving dollar transactions void. Remove and rescind all powers and activities of the Federal Reserve and all banks attached to the Federal Reserve system. Return the powers and status of the organic United States Treasury and begin issuing new debt-free currency as payment for Federal obligations. People holding mortgages and other debt products of Federal Reserve Banks would be given full title to any property held as Mortgage Collateral or forgiven all collateral free loans. Formerly licensed Federal Reserve participatory banks should lose all claim to properties under collateral agreements. Private, non-banking agreements, previously made in dollars, would be renegotiated in terms of the new currency. All military bases in all nations around the world should be closed; all materials and men and women brought home to a growing jobs market absorbing these men and women as new manufacturing opportunities demanded workers. Finally, it is necessary to place high tariffs on products that can be manufactured in America. Interest-free loans could be made to those building and restoring American manufacturing, workers to be paid in the new currency. Many will argue that repudiating and building tariffs against China will lead to war; I would argue that we are prosecuting a war now. Importing nearly every product from China has created a non-sustainable demand for Chinese products. American prosperity was built on pioneering and innovation in diverse fields and technology, manufacturing, and an ethic of prideful work. There is no reality-based way that Americans can continue to maintain their standard of living while also sustaining the Chinese standard of living. The only way America can regain its sovereignty is by ending the foreign trade racket and letting China build products for their own large population and encouraging China to embrace free market philosophies while developing a middle class to consume their products. Off-shoring all manufacturing was purposefully done to rob and then destroy America. The pain of returning American to a viable country will require standing strong against threats of war and retaliation as phony debt is repudiated. In that case we have a military ready to ensure the safety of our shores and peace in America. Lastly, during the banker currency withdrawal period many Americans will suffer withdrawing from toxins such as heroin or debt-based currency abuse is not going to be painless. But to make it easier, all United States stocks of stored foods and emergency supplies (purchased with debt currency) should be distributed for charitable dispensing during the transition from debt currency to a debt-free currency and competing currencies. Further, all large tracts of land held off the market and off limits by the Federal Government, and agents of the United Nations, should be homesteaded to the American people with special incentives for those planning farms and food creation uses of the land. After 100 years, Americans are waking up, and those serving freedom and abhorring slavery have an unprecedented opportunity to be knowledgeable about sophisticated slavery and, for once, the power to take immediate action against mankinds enslavers. I am looking forward to a truly Happy New Year. Theres no place like home, theres no place like home Dorothy, Wizard of Oz Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high.

2	Article Claims Obamas Face Will Be Put On New Dollar Bill Recently, and article was posted claiming that Barack Obama will be the face of the new dollar bill. While the facts listed in the article are a bit far fetched, it certainly raises some questions. And the humorous political commentary throughout the article is worth sharing in itself. According to the article in the Weekly World News, Barack Obama will be on the new dollar bill. The Dollar Redesign Project, the article claims, was organized by creative strategy consultant Richard Smith, who hopes that a rebranded redesign would help the global recession. Pointing to a site called The Dollar Redesign Project the article claims that Benjamin Bernanke has signed off on our choice for the redesign. Here is some of the rest of the article: We dont need a complete redesign of our coins, but we do want to put President Obama on the penny and move President Lincoln to the nickel. Thomas Jefferson, who was on the nickel, will be discontinued. Republican Congressman Paul Ryan suggested President Obama be put on both the nickel and dime instead of the penny. Another American icon might also be replaced. Uncle Sam is outdated, said Axelrod. We need to update this icon as well. It will now be Uncle Barack. Republicans are apoplectic about the changes the Administration is proposing. They wont get this passed when we get control of the house, said Minority Leader John Boehner. Typical Republicans, they want to block everything, even a little meaningless design issue, said Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. It doesnt matter what they think, were going to pass this and every American will be carrying Obama dollars in their wallets and purses come June. FYI: The Obama dollar will reportedly be worth $0.47. 
1	After four months together, sales manager Jack Petrakis, 29, and paralegal Justine Froeger, 26, reported Tuesday that dating someone who lives in the same building isn't worth the hassle. Froeger and Petrakis run into each other yet again. 'Everyone warned me that these short-distance things never work out,' said Froeger, who recently spent a night with a friend in nearby Charlotte just to escape the stifling proximity of her short-distance boyfriend. 'But I thought I would be different, that my love would be strong enough to handle the less than 1,000 feet separating Jack from me.' Froeger, who lives in a one-bedroom on the fifth floor of Manning Towers, and Petrakis, who occupies a studio on the fourth, met in the building's laundry room last September. 'We were both down there waiting for our clothes to dry, so we started to talk,' Petrakis said. 'It turned out we had a lot in commonwe shopped at the same grocery store and worked out at the same gym. At that point, I wasn't thinking about the future and how hard this sort of relationship can be.' For several weeks, Froeger and Petrakis enjoyed a protracted honeymoon period, during which the short distance dividing them seemed like an advantage. Friends report that Petrakis and Froeger thought it was adorable to share a mailman, bump into each other near the trash bin, and frequent the same coffeehouse. 'At first, Jack would brag about how cool it was to get a midnight 'booty call' from a sexy girl only three doors down and one floor below,' Petrakis' friend Doug Maris said. 'He was like, 'I don't even need to change out of my pajamas. I just put on slippers, answer the door, and I'm ready for action.'' 'He's not bragging anymore,' Maris continued. 'Last week, a bunch of the guys were hanging out at his place when someone knocked on the door. Jack made us all stand there, frozen in place and totally silent, for about five minutes until he could be sure that whoever it was had left.' Both Froeger and Petrakis said they began to experience misgivings about the lack of distance dividing them in early December. 'When I met Jack, I'd just broken up with this guy from Toledo, so I was really looking forward to dating someone nearby,' Froeger said. 'Now, I realize that having him so nearby that I can hear him whistling every time he uses the elevator isn't an advantage. And I do mean every time he uses the elevator. Seriously, every single timethat same OutKast song.' 'Justine is sweet,' Petrakis said. 'But sometimes it's too much. Once, I stayed at my buddy's house after a late night of drinking. When Justine saw that I hadn't picked up my newspaper from the doormat, she called to make sure I was okay. That's when I started feeling crowded.' In addition to infringing on each other's privacy, Froeger and Petrakis said the close proximity removes a level of excitement from the relationship. 'Part of the fun of getting involved with someone is immersing yourself in a new environment and experiencing new things,' Froeger said. 'But staying overnight at someone's place isn't as great when you live on the same block. Our apartments overlook the same exact tree.' 'Now we have no excuse to make it downtown or anyplace else,' Froeger continued. 'And believe me, Jack doesn't look for one, either. We just order delivery from the menus we both already know by heart.' Petrakis agreed that 'things are getting a little stale.' 'Justine and I kiss goodbye in the morning, then I see her 30 minutes later in the parking lot,' Petrakis said. 'Then I get home, and boom! There she is in the elevator. I don't know what to do. I've told her that I need my space, but her space and my space are practically the same space.' Froeger said she has started to think she needs someone who will 'be there for me occasionally.' 'The next person I date should live in, say, Chicago or Minneapolis,' Froeger said. 'There are a lot of nice guys from the Midwest profiled on those Internet dating sites. If I was seeing someone farther away, we could spend a passionate weekend together, but I wouldn't have to sit around at Starbucks for an extra two hours after work until I'm certain I won't run into him.' Petrakis said he agrees that a break-up might be the only answer. 'Next time I'm on the market, I'm gonna get out to a lot of out-of-the-way bars in neighborhoods that I wouldn't normally have any reason to be in, like that area behind the expo center,' Petrakis said. 'From now on, I'm going to stick with the 50-block rule: no dating anyone who doesn't live at least a 10-minute car ride away.' 
2	Michelle Obamas New Cause: Bringing Down The Second Amendment Michelle Obama is now speaking out in an anti-gun campaign, shifting from efforts on healthy eating in schools, focusing her agenda on the safety of children. She of course attributes this to flaws in our second amendment. In a recent appearance in Chicago, she talked about gun violence and tied them back to the funeral of a gun victim she attended while in the city. She used the opportunity to talk about her anti-gun agenda in a way that made it seem like it was the only solution to keep kids alive. There are so many kids in this country just like them, Michelle told the audience, Kids with so much promise, but so few opportunities, good kids who are doing everything they can to break the cycle and beat the odds. Still, Michelle claims that she has no plans to start an anti-gun campaign. Her recent remarks make that statement hard to believe. We need to be better for all of our children in this country, Michelle concluded, Because they are counting on us to give them the chances they need for the futures they all deserve. What do you think of Michelles speech? 
3	FDA Looking to Ban B6 Supplements, Give Boost to Big PharmaElizabeth Renter According to the Alliance for Natural Health (ANH), the FDA has already begun their crusade. They removed Pyridoxamine (a natural form of B6) supplements from the market at the request of BioStratum, a pharmaceutical company. Why? Because BioStratum thinks it might be nice to use Pyrdoxamine in a prescription drug. They havent developed the drug, we dont know what it is, and who knows when it will come to fruition, but the FDA honored a request from the big corporation to protect the companys interest. Now, the FDA is poised to pull another B6 product: P5P. You see, the human body must convert B6 to P5P to make it usable within the body. Fortunately, some supplement companies have created P5P and it is currently available as a natural supplement. But, another pharmaceutical giant has petitioned the FDA to protect its interests. Medicure Pharma would like all P5P removed from the supplement market so they can begin to work on a drug containing the crucial form of B6. In their petition, they state: Pharmaceutical companies developing new drugs must be protected from companies that may seek to market the ingredients in those drugs as dietary supplements. The marketing of such products has the potential to undermine the incentive for the development of new drugs because many people may choose to purchase the supplements rather than the drugs. So, that basically sums it up. In order to protect the money-grabbing interests of this company, at whatever risk to the health of the general public, the federal government should step in and take the supplements out. I suppose that line of thought makes sense if you are a top official with Medicure Pharma. But, the FDA has not yet honored the ANHs petition yet concerning the B6 supplements. And while the FDA doesnt always care what is in the best interest of the people, we hope that by joining the ANH, we can make our voices heard. You can help. Contact the FDA and Congress today and let them know that not all consumers are interested in drugs over supplements. You can find a petition here on the Alliance for Natural Healths website. Two other equally upsetting cases come to mind. Through examining and following the FDAs decisions, anyone can see that the organization continuously pushes pharmaceutical drugs while censoring health food and supplements and their ability to heal. Such is the case with a company known as Fleminger, Inc. and their green tea product, where the FDA threatened to seize Fleminger Inc.s products, in addition to making them completely change their claim statement. The company claimed green tea reduces the risk of breast and prostate cancer, so the FDA insisted they use the claim: Green tea may reduce the risk of breast or prostate cancer. FDA does not agree that green tea may reduce the risk because there is very little scientific evidence for the claim. In another situation, claims made by Diamond Foods that omega-3s found in walnuts produce health benefits make their walnuts drugs. As far as the FDA is concerned, these drugs can not be legally marketed in the United States without an approved new drug application. Explore More: 
2	FBI Closes In On Hillary And Inner Circle Hillary Clinton is quite possibly the only presidential candidate weve ever seen that is simultaneously running to be the leader of this country and being investigated by the FBI. According to former New York Times Magazine editor-in-chief Ed Klein, Hillarys closest advisors were recently contacted by the FBI regarding Clintons email scandal. Klein claims that Hillarys inner circle including Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills and Jake Sullivan, have all been contacted. They were reportedly told they are going to be interviewed by the FBI about these emails. Each one of them has lawyered up and has decided to distance themselves from Hillarys campaign so that their problems will not spill over into her campaign, Klein told Newsmax. What do you think? Does Hillary need to be kept far away from the White House? 
1	Following an update Friday on the status of the chain's 238 pizzerias throughout the Midwest region, witnesses said Sbarro CEO James Greco disgustedly sighed, shook his head, and said, 'A cashier at our Davenport location did what?' 'You've got to be kidding me,' continued a visibly deflated Greco, asking who was responsible for hiring the employee in question, whether the cashier had been told that what he did was absolutely unacceptable, and whether any customers saw. 'Jesus. Okay, well, did they clean it up? And what about the smell? Is it gone?'

1	Occasional stock-car-racing viewer Rob Kleindienst remained unaware of, if not unimpressed by, the strategic and mechanical intricacies of a late-race accident involving eight different drivers in last Sunday's Dickies 500 at the Texas Speedway. 'Wow, it just looked like the Bud Light guy barely tapped that No. 10 car and everyone just went all over the place,' said Kleindienst, attempting to describe what happened when driver Kevin Harvick's approach interrupted the airflow over the spoiler of Scott Riggs' Dodge Charger, causing a loss of mechanical adhesion that resulted in catastrophic understeer and ultimately a cascading racing incident. 'It was, like, sheeeoow! Whammo! Guys flying everywhere.' NASCAR officials said that although Kleindienst is certainly lacking in technical knowledge, the hand motions, facial contortions, and onomatopoeia he employed while describing the accident all met or exceeded their standards. 
2	Obamas Real Passport Just Leaked And Its Not What You Think According to recent reports, the Australian government just accidentally leaked some shocking information about Obamas passport. The Guardian reported that the private information released included passport and visa details belonging to Obama, Russian President Vladimir Putin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Chinese President Xi Jinping and others. The information was accidentally sent out by an employee of the Australian immigration department who was communicating with a member of the Asian Cup football organizing committee. The Australian government failed to report the breach to the world leaders, which was attributed to human error in an email to Australias Department of Immigration and Border Protection. The email said the name, date of birth, title, position, nationality, passport number, visa grant number and visa subclass held relating to 31 international leaders attending the G20 leaders summit had been released. The Australian government claims that it is unlikely that the information is in the public domain but the White House is trying to confirm if the breach was serious. What do you think of the incident?

'The Harry Potter trailer came on, and I guess I just got excited,' said Schuyler, 26, who took his last bite as the words 'Written By Dan Gerson' appeared on the screen. 'Maybe I should have bought more than a box of Sno-Caps and a 32-ounce Coke, but the stuff costs so much.' Next time he sees a film, Schuyler said he will not start eating until the studio logo appears. 
1	After several seconds spent sitting motionless and glaring directly into the camera, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reportedly began Sundays video announcing her 2016 presidential bid by warning the nation not to fuck this up for her. Listen up, assholes, cause Im only saying this once: Ive worked way too goddamn hard to let you morons blow this thing for me, said Clinton, repeatedly jabbing her index finger toward the viewers at home while adding that if they thought she was going to simply sit back and watch them dick her over like they did in 2008, they were out of their fucking minds. Seriously, dont you dare even think about it. If you shitheads can just get in line, we can breeze through this whole campaign in 19 months and be done with it. Or, if you really want, we can do this the hard way. Because make no mistake, Im not fucking around. Got it? Clinton then ended her announcement by vowing to fight for a better future for all working-class families like the one she grew up in. 
1	Executives from the Shell Oil Company blasted a floundering, oil-covered sea otter Monday, accusing the small aquatic mammal of grossly exaggerating the effects of last week's hazardous petroleum spill. According to Shell president Marvin Odum, the otter has been putting on 'quite a show' in front of rescue workers and clean-up crews, and is making the 860,000-gallon, three-mile-wide toxic slick seem like a much bigger deal than it actually is. 'He's fine,' said Odum, referring to the 40-pound sea creature, who was found washed ashore and appeared to be suffering from anaphylactic shock. 'Trust me, before all of the cameras and reporters showed up, our little buddy here was having no problem at all cleaning himself off. Now, all of a sudden, it's severe spastic convulsions this and complete kidney failure that.' 'Seriously, come on,' the Shell executive continued. 'Talk about laying it on thick.' Odum, who was alerted to the massive petroleum spill early Monday morning, claimed that the attention-seeking otter was not only overdoing it with his frantic and anguished squealing, but that his habit of gasping desperately for oxygen was 'melodramatic.' In addition, Odum claimed that the otter's rapidly fluctuating body temperature and growing heart palpitations were nothing more than a sad attempt to curry favor with Coast Guard officials, Greenpeace volunteers, and anybody else not smart enough to see right through his 'little ploy.' Shell executives were disgusted by the flamboyant, over-the-top act put on by contaminated wildlife Monday. 'Give me a break,' Odum said as rescue crews tried to remove hazardous waste from the mammal's pelt. 'Clearly, this otter has some weird, personal vendetta against Shell and large corporations in general, and wants everyone to cry at his pathetic sob story.' 'Just look at him out there,' Odum added while volunteers tried to keep the sea creature from losing consciousness. 'The sick bastard's loving every minute of this.' Odum also downplayed claims by rescue workers that the otter may not be able to handle the stress of the clean-off process, saying that the animal is 'acting ridiculous' and is just doing an impression of what he thinks an otter affected by a massive oil spill is supposed to act like. 'The extreme shivering, the wheezing, the prolonged dehydration, it's all part of the same gaudy burlesque,' Shell CEO Peter Voser said. 'It's simple: The otter gets some oil on his body, and he thinks that gives him carte blanche to play the victim. Don't you people get it? This is exactly what he wants. You're all playing right into his twisted little game.' Voser even called into question the otter's mental stability, citing the sea pup's early attempts to drink the highly contaminated water around him as an example of just how far the publicity-hungry mammal was willing to go to make the Shell Oil Company look like 'the bad guy.' On Saturday, Shell chairman Jorma J. Ollila issued a statement accusing the sea mammal of being a master manipulator, and said that what the otter really needs to do is grow up. Ollila went on to praise a number of petroleum-soaked seals, pelicans, and sea turtles in the contaminated area, commending them for remaining completely still and silent, and not 'making a big production' out of the environmental disaster when rescue and camera crews arrived at the scene. The one-page document, however, focused largely on the single otter, who as of press time was in critical condition. 'Rescue crews have to stop coddling him and giving him everything he wants,' Ollila said. 'Because if they don't, other otters are just going to pull the exact same crap the next time one of our tankers ruptures and we spill crude oil everywhere.'

2	BREAKING: Say Goodbye To Obama... Confidential Information He Has Been Hiding Just Leaked President Barack Obama has been doing everything he can to keep his past under wraps. From his birth certificate to his college records, we know very little about who Obama truly is. Now, that is all about to change. Americans for Freedom of Information recently released copies of Obamas transcripts from Occidental College, and what theyve discovered could get him impeached. According to reports from Americas Freedom Fighters, the documents reveal that Obama received financial aid as a student from Indonesia, using the name Barry Soetoro. Obama reportedly applied for financial aid was awarded with a fellowship for foreign students from the Fullbright Foundation Scholarship program. In order to be eligible for the scholarship, students must claim foreign citizenship. Without question, this fraud could get Obama impeachedand it could confirm that Obama was born in Kenya. Not surprisingly, the White House is in a panic over this news. What do you think of these reports?

Luckily, he was equipped with the tools he needed to take matters into his own hands. When four men burst into the mans home and began demanding money and prescription bills, he decided to do the reasonable think and call Emergency Servicers. However when the man told the 911 operator that the men had entered his home, he was sent to voicemail. According to reports, the men began beating his family members. The man had no choice but to defend his family himself. Luckily, he owned a gun and was able to shoot one of the men. What would have happened if the man was not allowed to have a gun to protect himself?

2	American ISIS Fighters Just Got Some Bad News... According to recent reports, Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz recently filed for new legislation that will stop American citizens traveling overseas to fight for terrorist organizations from reentering the country. Although its shocking that such policies are not already in place, Cruz first proposed the bill nearly a year ago, in an attempt to strip those fighting for ISIS of their citizenship rights. The bill is known as the Expatriate Terrorist Act, and is not being filed. Some believe the filing is a response to Obamas State of the Union address last week. President Obamas approach to foreign policy refuses to acknowledge the threats our enemies pose to our national securityit is detached from reality and making the world a more dangerous place, Cruz commented on Obamas speech. Weve seen the grave consequence of the Obama-Clinton-Kerry foreign policy unravel in with respect to Iran, Russian, and now Yemen. These consequencesdirectly threaten America and our allies. That is why this week, I am re-filing the Expatriate Terrorist Act, which prevents Americans who have fought abroad for designated terrorist groups from returning to the United States, Cruz concluded. I look forward to working with senators on both sides of the aisle on this and additional measures to secure our nation and restore Americas leadership in the world. Although the bill seems to be almost common sense, FBI Director James Comey recently told 60 Minutes that Americans are entitled to come back into the states, unless their passport is revoked. He does claim that they will track them very carefully. What do you think? Do you support Cruzs bill?

3	The UN Plan for the World: Global Carbon Taxes, Global Safety Nets And A One World Green EconomyMichael Snyder, Contributor You can read the full report right here. It envisions a vast system of global carbon taxes, massive global safety nets and the implementation of a one world green economy. Many of those that are pushing sustainable development on a global level believe that they are doing it for the good of the planet. In fact, the 204-page report mentioned above even says that the transition to a green economy requires a fundamental shift in the way we think and act but that it will be worth it in the end. What people need to understand is that throughout modern history tyranny has almost always been initially introduced by people that believed that they had good intentions. No matter how much friendly language the UN uses in their reports, the truth is that what they are promoting is an insidious agenda of absolute tyranny on a global scale. The upcoming Rio + 20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro comes 20 years after the original 1992 UN Earth Summit that adopted Agenda 21. This new summit will be about renewing that commitment to sustainable development and moving that agenda forward. The UN is not playing a short-term political game. The UN is ready to play their game for decades if necessary. They will just keep coming back with conference after conference and treaty after treaty until they get what they want. At the moment, the United Nations is operating as something of a soft global government. The UN does not have the power to coerce nations to do their bidding yet, so they rely mostly on cooperation. The UN will take what they can get right now, and they know that someday they will eventually have the power to turn their recommendations into mandates. One of the things that the UN would love to implement is a global carbon tax scheme. The power to tax is the power to control, and if the UN is ever given the power to tax the entire globe they will at that point become much more than a soft global government. Right now, the UN is proposing a global carbon tax scheme that would come to as much as 0.6 percent of GDP for participating nations. The following comes directly from the report. The report also envisions the transfer of trillions of dollars a year from wealthy countries to poorer countries. The UN feels that this is necessary for a couple of reasons. First of all, the UN says that developing nations do not have the resources to pay for the green infrastructure that is needed to participate in the new green economy and therefore wealthier nations should pay for it. Secondly, the UN believes that massive global wealth distribution is needed in order to bring about global equity. Does that sound like radical socialism to you? It should. The UN report also speaks of a social protection floor. So now instead of just supporting tens of millions of Americans that are relying on the safety net, U.S. taxpayers will also be expected to contribute to a global safety net that hundreds of millions of people could end up relying on. The UN also envisions a one world green economy where freer trade is accompanied by environmental responsibility. The following comes from the UN report mentioned above. In this one world green economy, prices for things like food and energy will go up dramatically for Americans. The UN is pushing a concept known as full-cost pricing. What that means is that the full social and environmental costs of producing goods and services must be passed on to you so that you will be motivated to change your behavior. The following is another excerpt from the UN report. For example, the UN really does not like that Americans drive their cars so much. They believe that it is very bad for the environment. So according to the UN it is going to be necessary to raise the price of gasoline dramatically. The UN report also envisions massive changes to the global financial system. This new UN report on sustainable development is just the latest in a long string of UN reports that sees an emerging role for Special Drawing Rights to play in the international financial system. The United Nations also wants to change the way that you eat. This new UN report says that we all need to transition to sustainable diets. For one thing, that would mean a lot less meat for you and your family. The United Nations also wants to reform public education. The new UN report says that climate change education is a particularly important part of quality education. Do you want climate change education to be pounded into the heads of your kids when they go to school? If not, you better start paying attention to what the UN is trying to do. Also, the new UN report speaks of the need for universal access to reproductive health care and family planning. In other words, the United Nations wants to make sure that there is an abortion clinic in every corner of the globe. As I have written about so many times before, the elitists that are pushing sustainable development on a global scale love death. They believe that humans are the primary cause of global warming, and they also believe that if there were a lot less humans running around that there would be a lot less climate change. Sadly, there are a whole lot of people out there these days that are advocating very strict population control measures for the entire globe. They believe that they are trying to save the planet, but the truth is that what they are really doing is promoting global tyranny. Unfortunately, there are now millions upon millions of true believers in this sustainable development agenda and it is being taught in almost every major college and university in the developed world. The United Nations is going to keep coming back again and again with this agenda. They will advance it an inch at a time if they have to. The elitists that are promoting this will not get tired and they will not give up. In fact, UN officials have even been drafting an environmental constitution for the world that is intended to eventually supersede all existing national laws. This document contains a preamble like the U.S. Constitution does, it is organized into articles like the U.S. Constitution is, and it even sets forth procedures for amending the document just like the U.S. Constitution does. The working title of this document is Draft International Covenant on Environment and Development and you can read the entire thing right here. Most people out there have absolutely no idea how serious the United Nations is about all of this. The United Nations truly believes that it should be running the world and ushering humanity into a new era of peace, equality and green prosperity. The environment is going to be used as an excuse over and over to further strengthen global institutions such as the United Nations. If the American people are not really careful, one day our children will wake up in a world where soldiers in blue helmets are standing on our street corners. It is not here yet, but it is coming. You better stand up and be heard while you still can. RELATED ACTIVIST POST ARTICLES: This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

1	Responding swiftly to a 60 Minutes piece exposing its longtime use of child labor in Malaysian sweatshops, Fortune 500 consumer-goods manufacturer United Home Products unveiled a brand-new logo Tuesday. 'After the 60 Minutes story aired, we received a lot of tremendously helpful feedback regarding our staffing policies at some of our facilities in the Asian sphere. And after listening to you, our customers, UHP saw it was time for a change,' said CEO Dale Schwantes, gesturing toward the red, white and blue logo. 'And here's that change, America!' 'If you thought you knew UHP, look again!' Schwantes added. While the business practices of UHP, the nation's fifth largest manufacturer of household consumer goods, will remain unchanged, the introduction of the new logo signals 'a brand-new corporate philosophy and an entirely different way of doing things.' The decision to be 'a whole new company' came as a result of the Aug. 5 airing of an expos on one of UHP's toaster factories in Songkhla, Malaysia. The report featured footage of 12-year-olds laboring at dangerous machines in unventilated, overcrowded rooms for $5 per week. Faced with boycott threats from angry human-rights groups, UHP executives decided a major company overhaul was in order. The next day, UHP's old graphic-design staff was fired and a new 14-member team was brought in. Children make serving trays in one of United Home Products' Asian factories. 'America spoke, and we listened,' said Schwantes, reading from a UHP ad slated to appear in next week's issues of Newsweek and Time. 'We've got a whole new look... and a whole new outlook!' Deeply committed to change, Schwantes made certain that the overhaul extended to the entire corporation, and it did: Not only was the new logo placed on all UHP products and packaging, but also on company letterhead, internal memos, embroidered employee polo shirts, and the marble edifice in the front of UHP world headquarters. 'The public made it clear that it didn't want to support a brand it associated with a cold, gigantic corporation that exploits Third World child labor,' said Mark Ingersoll, head of DesignOne, the San Francisco-based graphic-design firm that created the new logo. 'So we totally did away with that harsh, 'corporate-looking' lettering and went with a friendlier, more inviting font with a little more warmth and visual flair.' 'It sort of brings to mind the old country store on the corner, doesn't it?' said Ingersoll, who has worked on logo redesigns for, among others, Western Federated Electronics, GenCorp Amalgamated and Global Tetrahedron. 'The color scheme is very cozy, but it still conveys confidence.' Ingersoll said his design team went through 'literally hundreds of ideas' before settling on a classic red, white and blue motif for the logo. Among the ideas considered was 'UHP' in a child's handwriting in crayon superimposed over a pair of small handprints, but the idea was nixed when focus groups said it reminded them of the 12-year-old Malaysian factory-laborers. Thus far, public response to UHP's transformation has been overwhelmingly positive. 'This logo brings to mind the comfort of hearth and home,' said Margaret Talmadge, a Valdosta, GA, homemaker. 'It suggests the warm, inviting arms of a trusted friend.' 'It's a major improvement,' Rochester, NY, forklift operator John Spillman said. 'Seems like they've really turned themselves around.' A handful of skeptics, however, are not convinced that UHP has changed its stripes. 'We're definitely taking a wait-and-see approach,' said Julianne Foyer, president of the Coalition of Concerned Consumers. 'UHP has changed their logo in response to complaints before, only to go back to the same old original design within a year. Why should we believe that the logo will truly be different this time?' In the past decade, UHP has changed its logo several times. In 1992, when an internal memo from then-CEO Robert Randolph about setting limits on minority hiring was accidentally leaked to the public, the company incorporated a pair of black and white shaking hands into the logo. In 1994, a new green logo featuring a tree coincided with the company's printing of 800,000 'We Care About The Environment' pamphlets and the relocation of several tons of toxic runoff to offshore storage facilities. But according to Schwantes, the new logo and new commitment to people is 'here to stay.' 'United Home Products is not the same old company,' said Schwantes before handing reporters complimentary vinyl cell-phone holders bearing the new logo. 'Take a chance on change: Trust UHP.'

3	WiLie about health effects of WiFi?Because plans for wireless control grid are vital for UK economy A futuristic plan, the author contends, brought about by a WiFi revolution that could see technology monitoring patients from a distance and take traffic off our roads. A brave new world, where farming, healthcare, energy and transport are connected and controlled through a wireless Internet of Things. What this piece (and many others like it) does not report, however, is any of the acute or chronic health effects associated with the pulsed microwave radiation which this so-called revolution is based on. Wireless technologies potentially have inter-generational consequences. Are we in the process of making the biggest mistake in human history? It makes no mention of the potentially catastrophic inter-generational consequences of wireless technologies, such as the harm caused to the mitochondrial DNA of fetuses in utero. No mention is made either of the profound impacts from wireless electrosmog to our wildlife affecting countless biologically-sensitive species which have spent eons evolving with natural Earth resonances to now face a man-made sea of modulated microwaves that is billions upon billions of times higher than their natural systems are adapted to. The same goes for us. Indeed there is much that is not talked about in this new world. the future use of radio spectrum [is] of vital importance to the UK economy. Where have we heard something similar before? Oh, thats right. In another Independent report about how the Treasury regarded smoking dangers as secondary to the economy (sadly though, by the time that was finally reported, it was a too late to take evasive action). Instead of giving important insights into the evident health, privacy, safety and security dangers associated with this Technocratic version of an Orwellian future-scape, the article offers this insight into how our energy will in future be controlled: Individual electric devices are all monitored by electricity companies and the use of certain devices is restricted early in the evening to reduce demand for power in peak times. Reliance on large power stations is reduced, along with greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. If you happened to miss it that, friends, is why you are being pushed to have a Smart Meter. And when it references air pollution, any reduction on that front will be overshadowed by a billowing cloud of electrosmog of frequencies which this T-Mobile-funded study reported as being capable of initiating and promoting the growth of cancer (amongst many other serious diseases). Thats an industry-funded study conducted by a world-class research institute. (There are plenty of others, too.) On farming, it says: Sensors are sown to measure moisture at different levels. Data is sent to a central system so water can be sent to areas in need at rates that best permeate the ground. The need for pesticides and fertilisers is reduced. At harvest time, sensors watch the temperature of cereals and insect activity. And with edible RFID sensors now available, who wouldnt want microchips embedded straight into their their patented frankenfoods from the get-go? Yum! This is no joke, though. It is business big business with long-range strategic plans to bring your children on-message through their schoolwork in the classroom. Do you think any of the health risks will be on the curriculum as they browse their course notes on an iPad? Moving on to transport, the article continues: Road sensors can recognise congestion and instigate speed restrictions. The same system could send messages to cars to give alternative directions. Wheel rotation sensors can speak to similar devices on other vehicles to automate the flow of traffic and eliminate the pattern of traffic accelerating and quickly braking. Its interesting that the focus here is on cars because a so-called driverless Smart Train crashed in Chicago last week, injuring 33 people. Really smart. Was it hackers? Who knows. Maybe well find out, maybe we wont. Network-attached cars are certainly hackable, though. And finally to health: Sensors in the home can monitor lack of activity and wet floors or other signals that someone might need help. Wearable monitors can send blood pressure and heart rate readings to health professionals. Intelligent pill-boxes alert doctors if patients have not taken tablets and can order repeat prescriptions. But would those health apps warn users of the genotoxity and damage being done to hereditary material and DNA by the constant radiation they use to communicate which this wireless telecom firms patent admits to? Would they warn the users of pacemakers that they might actually stop their hearts from beating? Not likely. Its almost enough to make your blood boil. And this video shows it pretty much does that, too. Taking all of that into account, the Independents piece a sugar-coated vision of a future that violates our health and privacy whilst masquerading as progress is actually a warning. It is a warning that the financial interests pushing the so-called solutions of tomorrow are set to introduce even bigger problems. Problems which we will have to pay for and which they will, presumably, find bogus solutions for in order to squeeze the last vestiges of profit out of an ailing, genetically-modified public. What is being sold to us here is a bill of goods. The table is being set for a hugely profitable but extremely harmful wireless grid which controls evermore aspects of our lives and has biologically-offensive radiation as a by-product. And it will happen on your watch if you let it. Time to shake a leg, folks. You can start by helping us to wake some people up to what they are letting into their homes with the Smart Meter and the dystopian ideology which it serves. Where we go from here is up to you.

3	After Sending a Carrier Strike Group to Confront China, US Sends 3 Nuclear Bombers to the PacificBy Matt Agorist Now, only a week later, they are flexing even more military might, announcing they have deployed three B-2 Spirit nuclear stealth bombers to support the U.S. Pacific Command. U.S. forces in the Pacific have been saber rattling with China for months. According to Stars and Stripes, On Tuesday, North Korea announced it has developed the capability to put a miniaturized nuclear weapon on a ballistic missile, the same day that the Air Force deployed the B-2s. The Air Force did not specify where the B-2s would be based. Recent events demonstrate the continued need to provide consistent and credible air power throughout the Indo-Asia-Pacific region, said Gen. Lori J. Robinson, Pacific Air Forces commander. Our ability to demonstrate credible combat power while training and inter-operating with our network of like-minded partner nations is vitally important. Not only is the military deploying nuclear bombers to the region, but they are also flexing their might by conducting the largest combined amphibious exercise of its kind to date. The exercise, known as Ssang Yong, which means Twin Dragons, consists of approximately 9,200 U.S. Marines and 3,100 U.S. Navy personnel who will work alongside 4,500 ROK Marine Corps, 3,000 ROK Navy, 100 Australian Army and 60 Royal New Zealand Army forces. The sheer number of personnel involved is extremely impressive, said Capt. Ed Thompson, commander, Amphibious Squadron 11. There are a lot of moving parts and things that need to align for a successful exercise. When they do, it is truly amazing to see how we operate together. The area where Ssang Yong is taking place is only a stones throw away from the disputed region in the South China Sea, where, according to Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, the Chinese are militarizing the region and the U.S. is being forced to act. However, as Fu Ying, a spokeswoman for Chinas National Peoples Congress said, The accusation [that China is militarizing the region] can lead to a miscalculation of the situation. If you take a look at the matter closely, its the US sending the most advanced aircraft and military vessels to the South China Sea. But the US seems unconcerned with the facts and more intent on provoking a fight. China must not pursue militarization in the South China Sea, Carter said in a speech in San Francisco earlier this month. Specific actions will have specific consequences. The region in question is known as Xisha in Chinese and Hong Sa in Vietnamese, and is a group of islands, reefs, banks and other maritime features in the South China Sea. It is controlled (and occupied) by the Peoples Republic of China and also claimed by Taiwan and Vietnam. This dispute over who lays claim to the region dates back decades, and physical violence has erupted between the disputing parties on multiple occasions as recently as 1974. However, since then, the dispute has remained peaceful until now. The U.S. is attempting to claim that the Chinese presence in the region is some new conflict and are touting strawmen such as closed trade routes as a reason for flexing their military sway. But there is no evidence that trade will be affected at all. No country in their right mind would hinder its ability to export, and China shows no signs of halting exports any time soon. In October, an anonymous defense source told Foreign Policy that the U.S. was determined to put on a show of military might. Its not a question of if, but when, the official was quoted as saying. Well, it appears that the when is now. The U.S. is already engaged in proxy wars with Russia in Ukraine and Syria, which have the potential to devolve into an open conflict between the superpowers. Attempting to intimidate the Chinese in their own backyard seems like an incredibly ill-conceived move at this time. American actions will inevitably only serve to bring the Russo-Sino strategic military alliance into closer consultation with one another in an attempt to stem U.S. global imperialism. While this may be splendid news for defense contractors and weapons manufacturers, its extremely dangerous news for the rest of the world. One strategic miscalculation could result in events spiraling drastically out of control. Matt Agorist is a co-founder of TheFreeThoughtProject.com where this article first appeared.

The US make be able to take on China on its own or perhaps even Russia (although extremely unlikely) on its own, but seeing as how the US has gone out of its way to antagonize and threaten both there is no chance in Hades that the US can take on both in a common front, and it would be in the national interests of both countries to team up should there be a shooting war instigated by the foreign controlled US. Honestly the US has done this numerous times. It is constantly stirring the pot or throwing wood on the fire. Im not actually sure what the US gains from this egregious activity because it isnt immediately evident. Obviously the White house and the Pentagon think their is some benefit to constant war. I just wish they would tell the rest of us what it is! The usual reason for American suicidal stupidity is Israeli influence. I dont know if thats the reason this time but since the destruction of America when it has outlived its usefulness to the Tribe is planned this may be just plain ole suicide. China and Russia both know the US is an empire in its death throes. They will laugh at the animated threats and just wait it out for the corruption in the US government to do its work. The blow hards in DC have to make louder and bigger gestures to get any notice but everyone is in on the joke except DC. I say let it happen. People will die like they always have. Its not like anyone is doing anything super spectacular these days. Its not like humanity as a whole, was actually progressing toward some beautiful state of existence anyway. Maybe after all the destruction people will even care, albeit briefly lived. But at least that passing moment will be one of the few times humanity actually uses all of its ability toward the replication of good. It is such a shame it always seems to take mass murder on such an inconceivable level to even hold the peoples attention Its ever more saddening the almost always decided path of conflict attracts attention so readily.. It was bound to happen, humanity tends to refuse any forms of self control when it seemingly matters most. Holding nothing sacred, even as destruction is upon them, clinging to a calculated belief that was never theirs. Id say we either remain adaptive to all aspects of this physical reality and all the communicated falsities, or we fall. Without a resurgence of empathetic and moralistic truths, that one measures themselves against, many usually falter. We can use the Internet for things other than complaining or fighting against someone else. It can be used to create a better defined axiom. We are not doomed to follow anyone off a cliff, we are not doomed to be barbaric, or evil. Its a choice many have had made for them, some dont know exists, and few have defined. But hey, being good rarely pays.. So, we dont. Oooo sensible lets bully China theyre pussycats, and will be easily scared Are the service mens uniforms are made in china? 
2	Black Males Murders 5 Year Old White Girl... Wheres Al Sharpton Now Recently, five-year-old Laylah Peterson was murdered while she was sitting on her grandfathers lap at her home in Milwaukee. Reports from the incident indicate that two black men simply approached the door of the house, which was in a primarily black neighborhood, and opened fire. The media has stayed shockingly silent about the incident, choosing to take all their air time to cover one-sided examples racism in America. This girls story is being left untold because it doesnt go along with the liberal agenda. The motive behind the murder remains to be seen, but we find it hard to believe that the young girl could have done anything to deserve her death. Authorities have confirmed that there is no question that the shooters were trying to kill people inside of the house. At least a dozen shots were fired. What do you think of this tragic incident? 
3	3 Stops on Americas Asian Tour of ShameAmericas new Asian allies: Dictator-for-life Hun Sen of Cambodia, Myanmars Aung San Suu Kyi and her genocidal Saffron monks, and the despotic hereditary Shinawatra regime of Thailand. US President Barack Obama is embarking on what the Western media is calling a historic trip. In reality he is coddling dictators and human rights abusers of the highest caliber, even while waging proxy-war against Syria based on alleged human rights concerns. 1. Thailand: President Obama and US Secretary Hillary Clinton first arrived in Bangkok, Thailand in efforts to legitimize and prop up politically, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, sister of deposed despot Thaksin Shinawatra, who is using her to run the country by proxy as he evades a 2 year jail sentence and 2 arrest warrants. Despite mass-murdering nearly 3,000 people extra-legally over the course of a 90-day 2003 War on Drugs, victims who most of which were later found out to have had nothing to do with the drug trade at all, Thaksin would also send Thai troops to Iraq in support of the US invasion and occupation, allow the US to use Thailand as a base for CIA rendition sites, and attempted to push through a US-Thai free trade agreement without parliamentary approval. Before becoming PM in 2001, he had served as an adviser for the notorious US equity firm, the Carlyle Group. Robert Amsterdam of Amsterdam Peroff, would also simultaneously represent Thaksins red shirt street movement, and was present for the inaugural meeting of the so-called academic Nitirat group, attended mostly by pro-Thaksin red shirts (who literally wore their red shirts to the meeting). Additional support for Thaksin and his UDD street-front is provided by the US State Department via National Endowment for Democracy-funded NGO Prachatai. His atrocities and autocratic style of leadership were overlooked because of the immense utility he served for US interests a utility the US still hopes he and his proxy sister can continue to serve. 2. Myanmar: While the media focuses on the repressive military junta, the real human rights abusers happen to also be long-time US allies in the region. Specifically, they are the Saffron monks who had took to the streets in so-called pro-democracy rallies on behalf of Western-hailed democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi. Image: Praying for genocide. While Associated Press claims these protesters are demonstrating against ethnic violence, the sign they carry clearly states that they seek the expulsion of the refugees from Myanmar, and are merely protesting against the Myanmar Armys use of force to protect refugees from the monks' attacks that have left scores dead and thousands of refugee homes destroyed. In reality, Suu Kyis movement is yet another Wall Street-London funded creation, and the rank and file of her movement are sectarian extremists who seek to eradicate through exile or genocidal extermination the Rohingya refugees located in Myanmars Rakhine state. In Myanmar (Burma) Pro-Democracy Movement a Creation of Wall Street London, it was documented that Suu Kyi and organizations supporting her, including local propaganda fronts like the New Era Journal, the Irrawaddy, and the Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB) radio, have received millions of dollars a year from the Neo-Conservative chaired National Endowment for Democracy, convicted criminal and Wall Street speculator George Soros Open Society Institute, and the US State Department itself, citing Britains own Burma Campaign UK (.pdf). The goal of Western meddling in Myanmar, still called by its British imperial nomenclature of Burma by many across the Western media, is to balk Chinese investments across the country, while establishing yet another permanently failed, 3rd world state that can be fully exploited and stripped bare by the Fortune 500 and intense free trade. 3. Cambodia: Perhaps the most hypocritical and absurd stop on President Obamas trip will be his visit to Cambodia, ruled for the past 27 years by dictator-for-life Hun Sen. Formerly of the genocidal Khmer Rouge, Hun Sen has spent his time in office stripping bare his own people, and just recently, has allowed foreigners to part-take in the dismemberment of his own nation. While running under the illusion of peoples power, he has since 2008 sold over half of his nation off to foreign investors, right out from under the Cambodian people. Image: While the West funds and arms verified Al Qaeda militants invading Syria for alleged humanitarian concerns, tacit approval is granted to governments like that of Hun Sen of Cambodia to brutalize his own population in sweeping land grabs that have left hundreds of thousands of Cambodian people without homes or a livelihood. The difference? Syria refuses to capitulate to Wall Street and Londons international order, Cambodia is eagerly selling off its sovereignty to it. In a 2008 article by the Guardian titled, Country for Sale, it was reported that, almost half of Cambodia has been sold to foreign speculators in the past 18 months and hundreds of thousands who fled the Khmer Rouge are homeless once more. The report would go on to state: Hun Sen and his ruling Cambodian Peoples Party (CPP) have, in effect, put the country up for sale. Crucially, they permit investors to form 100% foreign-owned companies in Cambodia that can buy land and real estate outright or at least on 99-year plus 99-year leases. No other country in the world countenances such a deal. Even in Thailand and Vietnam, where similar land speculation and profiteering are under way, foreigners can be only minority shareholders. It would continue: By March this year [2008], virtually all Cambodias accessible and sandy coast was in private hands, either Cambodian or foreign. Those who lived or worked there were turfed out some jailed, others beaten, virtually all denied meaningful compensation. The article would also state: It was abundantly clear to observers, including the World Bank and Amnesty International, that by making these private deals, Hun Sen was denying prosperity to most of his people, causing the countrys social fabric to unwind like thread from a bobbin. Today, more than 150,000 people are threatened with eviction. Forty-five per cent of the countrys entire landmass has been sold off from the land ringing Angkor Wat to the colonial buildings of Phnom Penh to the south-western islands. Professor Yash Ghai, the UN human rights emissary to Cambodia, warned, One does not need expertise in human rights to recognise that many policies of the government have deprived people of their economic resources and means of livelihood, and denied them their dignity. He added, I believe that the deliberate rejection of the concept of a state governed by the rule of law has been central to the ruling partys hold on power. It would seem as if Cambodias Hun Sen should easily find himself amongst the Wests Axis of Evil, the subject of crippling sanctions, and at the very least, uninvited to visit the US, or lent legitimacy by being allowed to host US representatives. Since the 2008 Guardian article, the situation has only deteriorated for the Cambodian people. The Guardian again reported in September 2012 in their article, Conflict over land in Cambodia is taking a dangerous turn, that: In the first nine months of the year, we have seen the killing of Cambodias leading environmental activist, a journalist and a 14-year-old girl whose community faced eviction. Weve also seen the conviction of 13 land activists for legitimate protests; a judicial move against one of the countrys most respected human rights activists; the harassment of politically active monks; and the arrest of an independent radio station owner on charges of secessionism. And these are just the most outlandish and publicised incidents. The article would continue: Cambodia is in the grip of a land-grabbing crisis that has seen more than 2m hectares (5m acres) of land transferred mostly from subsistence farmers to agribusiness. And as good land becomes scarce, the battle for it is becoming increasingly intense. An estimated 400,000 people have been affected by land disputes since 2003. It would also state that: For the average Cambodian, the only avenues that offer the prospect of success are public protest and individual action. The government is well aware of the desperation, and this fact helps explain the recent spate of arrests, killings and harassment. The authorities are increasingly using violence to keep a lid on things. If evictees dont go peacefully, private firms are willing and able to tap the resources of the state to forcefully capture land. Yet despite Hun Sens government brutalizing its own people with harassment, violence, and murder, displacing hundreds of thousands of civilians, and stealing the land right out from under the nations poor, US President Barack Obama intends to visit Cambodia to meet with Prime Minister Hun Sen. There has been no protest or formal condemnation by the US regarding Hun Sen and his systematic campaign of theft and violence waged against the Cambodian people, nor has there been any protests of political ramifications imposed by the emerging supranational block ASEAN who is in fact holding their annual meeting in Phnom Penh, Cambodia this month. It also turns out that the very military units snatching land from hundreds of thousands of impoverished Cambodians are actually receiving US military aid and training. Indeed, Operation Angkor Sentinel kicked off in July 2010 as US Army troops trained with the local Cambodian troops. The United States shamelessly defends the exercises claiming that Our military relationship is about working toward effective defence reform, toward encouraging the kind of civil-military relationship that is essential to any healthy political system, according to William Burns, then US undersecretary of state for political affairs. Why the Hypocrisy? The Washington Post, in their recent article, President Obama defends historic trip to Burma, claims: The Obama administration is using the Asia trip, which includes a final stop in Cambodia for the East Asia Summit, as another step in its pivot to Asia aimed at counterbalancing Chinas growing influence in the region. For over two decades the United States has expressed throughout a library of policy papers the need to develop and implement an effective containment strategy versus China. In 1997, US policy author Robert Kagan of the American Enterprise Institute and the Brookings Institution penned, What China Knows That We Dont: The Case for a New Strategy of Containment, where he literally states (emphasis added): The present world order serves the needs of the United States and its allies, which constructed it. And it is poorly suited to the needs of a Chinese dictatorship trying to maintain power at home and increase its clout abroad. Chinese leaders chafe at the constraints on them and worry that they must change the rules of the international system before the international system changes them. He would continue by saying: The changes in the external and internal behavior of the Soviet Union in the late 1980s resulted at least in part from an American strategy that might be called integration through containment and pressure for change. Such a strategy needs to be applied to China today. As long as China maintains its present form of government, it cannot be peacefully integrated into the international order. For Chinas current leaders, it is too risky to play by our rules yet our unwillingness to force them to play by our rules is too risky for the health of the international order. The United States cannot and should not be willing to upset the international order in the mistaken belief that accommodation is the best way to avoid a confrontation with China. We should hold the line instead and work for political change in Beijing. That means strengthening our military capabilities in the region, improving our security ties with friends and allies, and making clear that we will respond, with force if necessary, when China uses military intimidation or aggression to achieve its regional ambitions. It also means not trading with the Chinese military or doing business with firms the military owns or operates. And it means imposing stiff sanctions when we catch China engaging in nuclear proliferation. This would be further expanded on in the Strategic Studies Institutes 2006 String of Pearls report where specific areas of Chinese expansion were identified for disruption and containment. This included the now destabilized Baluchistan region in Pakistan where Chinas Gwadar port sits, as well as the destabilized state of Rakhine in Myanmar. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would reiterate this commitment to containing China, as well as touch upon another point made by Kagan in 1997 that Southeast Asian nations would need to be aligned with the US against China as part of any viable containment strategy in her 2011 op-ed in Foreign Policy titled, The American Pacific Century. Leading a Thailand, Myanmar, or Cambodia, fully complicit with the United States and its neo-imperial ambition to sustain another century of American hegemony across Asia is a role despots, proxies, and human rights violators like Thaksin Shinawatra, his sister Yingluck, Aung San Suu Kyi, and Hun Sen were cultivated for decades to fulfill, and it is precisely for this reason that so much money, time, and effort has been poured into both propping them up, including with this latest legitimacy-lending exercise by President Obama, while tearing down existing regional indigenous institutions through color revolutions and NGO-creep.

3	Discredited Benghazi Whistleblower DisappearsKimberly Paxton Davies has now been discredited by none other than our own government. That would be the same government that allowed Hillary Clinton to play hooky from the Congressional hearings about the massacre. (Perhaps protecting her potential 2016 run for the presidency?) The same government who put other witnesses in fear of their lives and would not allow them to speak publicly about the ordeal. The same government that sees the coverup unraveling and is still trying to knit the pieces back together. Was CBS under government pressure to retract this story? Was Simon Schuster forced to pull the books from the shelves? It seems that there is a governmental cloak of secrecy over the attack on the embassy. Files have been sealed. Families have more questions than answers about what happened on that fateful night. (source) There are still more questions than answers about Davies. The FBI has refused to comment on Davies because he is the subject of an ongoing investigation. CBS and other mainstream sources maintain the story that Davies was not a credible witness and that his report was fraudulent. We wont be getting any answers from Davies anytime soon because he has vanished. It is the kind of note a publisher dreads. Dylan Davies, the British contractor whose contested eyewitness account of the assault on the U.S. compound in Benghazi caused a firestorm, sent an email to the publisher of his new book telling them he was going dark. In the message, which was sent on Friday morning to Simon Schuster vice president Jennifer Robinson, Davies said someone had threatened to harm his family if he continued to defend his account of events in Benghazi to the media. The email was obtained by The Daily Beast. The timing could not have been worse. Last week CBSs 60 Minutes, which had interviewed Davies for a report on Benghazi that aired last month, apologized to its viewers and pulled the report. After 60 Minutes walked away from Davies, Simon Schuster on Friday announced they would be pulling the book from stores. In the midst of all of this, Davies has not spoken to the media. Fridays email, which was sent before Simon Schuster announced its decision to pull the book, provides some clues on his decision to stop talking. Davies wrote that on Sunday November 3 at 4:00 a.m., he was hand-delivered a note to his home address in Wales that said, Stop talking now or your wife and son will disappear. In the email to Robinson, he went onto say, Due to this threat I will not discuss the book with anyone under any circumstances for the foreseeable future, I am not prepared to put my family in danger. I stand by my story however I understand that it continues to be rubbished, which I expected. Davies wrote that the police took the threat to his family very seriously and that he had been advised to leave his home in south Wales and he did not know when he would return. At the end of his email to Robinson, Davies said he understood why his book was being pulled. Having spoken with Damien this morning I have no problem with the book being taken off the market, I have no way of defending myself at present, he said. My reputation has already been ruined in the media and I will never work in the security industry again, this was inevitable due to the sensitive nature of the book, however threatening to kill my family was not something I expected. Davies ended his email with these words: I will not be in touch again for a while, Im sorry for the trouble this book has caused. (source) Did the government cover-up of the Benghazi massacre just go a little bit deeper? Were CBS and Simon Schuster pressured to retract their stories? Is Dylan Davies a fraud or has his account been silenced and discredited in order to protect people in very high places, namely the current president and the next president? An ambitious (and some say ruthless) woman, Hillary Clinton is thought to be a front-runner in the next presidential election, despite the fact that her fingerprints are all over the deaths of those who died at the embassy in Benghazi. Even though she has admitted partial responsibility she wont allow her campaign dreams to be dashed by this scandal, so Davies would be wise to recognize some similarities to other cover-ups that she was connected to. First there was the suicide of Vince Foster. Jim McDougal also didnt fare well after he was involved in a Clinton scandal. Heres hoping that Davies really did disappear voluntarily otherwise he might reappear floating facedown on the Thames, another humiliated suicide victim. Kimberly Paxton is a staff writer for the Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared. Sheis based out of upstate New York. 
2	You Wont Believe What These Muslims Did To The Virgin Mary Statue According to recent reports, a man was praying in a small chapel in Perugia, Italy when he was suddenly attacked by five immigrants. The men approached him and ripped a photo from his hands. They then broke a statue of the Virgin Mary and began to urinate on it. According to the pastor of St. Barnabas, the five foreigners had already left the scene by the time authorities arrived. This was a blatant attack on Christianity by Muslims, and shockingly, the Christian Church made the decision to absolve the blame from Islam. In fact, some are starting to think that the Pope has lost sight of his role in his attempt to be politically correct. It seems that he is not concerned with enemies of the Church or Christianity. What do you think of the incident?

1	Despite the numerous and varied difficulties faced by Beijing officials as the 2008 Olympiad draws nearer, International Olympic Committee members reassured the public yesterday with an announcement that, seeing as the current year was divisible by four, a summer Olympics of some sort was mathematically likely. 'Everyone knows that, right? If the year ends in a two, four, eight, or zero, you're getting an Olympics,' said IOC president Jacques Rogge, ignoring for the moment the ongoing Chinese troubles with smog, incomplete athletic facilities, inadequate housing, insufficient tourist infrastructure, and widespread political and social controversy. 'And the last Games were in the winter, so this year, we'll be throwing, you know, the, uh, Summer Games. Of course. The math, you see, it all works out.' Chinese officials refused to comment on any probability of the Olympics being held, saying only that in China, mathematics were known to be much more difficult.

Fred was dedicated to honoring veterans at parades, funerals, and graves. He would decorate their graves by laying hundreds of wreaths. However, earlier this week, Freds heart could no longer take the laborious hours. Fred was honoring his fallen veterans for Christmas by laying hundreds of wreaths when he suddenly collapsed. Fred is being honored for the incredible life he lived, and his service to the U.S., in and out of the Marines. This was the way he would have chosen to go, said Wanda, Freds wife. How would you choose to go? Doing what you love to do and going in an instant? Yeah, I would too. RIP Fred Kaffenberger. You were an honorable man and we thank you for your service. Please pray for Fred and thank him for being a true patriot. 
3	Lesser Known Turmeric Compound Regenerates Brain Stem Cellsselfnews Post It turns out, a lesser-known bioactive turmeric compound promotes stem cell proliferation and differentiation in the brain, according to new research recently published in the open access journal Stem Cell Research Therapy. Results suggest aromatic turmerone could be a potential for treating neurological disorders, such as stroke and Alzheimers disease. Of course, the potential for researchers lies in its becoming a future drug candidate. The study looked at the effects of aromatic (ar-) turmerone on endogenous neutral stem cells (NSC), which are stem cells found within adult brains. NSC differentiate into neurons, and play an important role in self-repair and recovery of brain function in neurodegenerative diseases. Previous studies of ar-turmerone have shown that the compound can block activation of microglia cells which are a part of central nervous system immune defense. When activated, these cells cause neuroinflammation, which is associated with different neurological disorders. However, ar-turmerones impact on the brains capacity to self-repair was unknown. Researchers from the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine in Jlich, Germany, studied the effects of ar-turmerone on NSC proliferation and differentiation both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro: Rat fetal NSC were cultured and grown in six different concentrations of ar-turmerone over a 72 hour period. At certain concentrations, ar-turmerone was shown to increase NSC proliferation by up to 80%, without having any impact on cell death. The cell differentiation process also accelerated in ar-turmerone-treated cells compared to untreated control cells. To test the effects of ar-turmerone on NSC in vivo, the researchers injected adult rats with ar-turmerone. Using PET imaging and a tracer to detect proliferating cells, they found that the subventricular zone (SVZ) was wider, and the hippocampus expanded, in the brains of rats injected with ar-turmerone than in control animals. The SVZ and hippocampus are the two sites in adult mammalian brains where neurogenesis, the growth of neurons, is known to occur. Lead author of the study, Adele Rueger, said: While several substances have been described to promote stem cell proliferation in the brain, fewer drugs additionally promote the differentiation of stem cells into neurons, which constitutes a major goal in regenerative medicine. Our findings on aromatic turmerone take us one step closer to achieving this goal. Of course, researchers are scrambling to isolate turmeric compounds to later produce patented pharmaceuticals. While their discoveries are a revelation, it shouldnt diminish the power of consuming whole-food turmeric and letting all the compounds go to work. Inexpensive, bulk turmeric power can be easily found at the health food store or online. Tinctures are a concentrated form that can be taken in liquids, and capsules are preferable if the strong taste cannot be withstood. This study shows that the anti-inflammatory benefits of turmeric extend to the brain and nervous system which could make it ideal in a diet to potentially help with neurodegenerative and auto-immune problems. 
1	Premium eyewear manufacturer Ray-Ban confirmed Monday it has 'some very real doubts' about whether its summer 2012 line of sunglasses is something American consumers will be able to pull off. 'It's a tricky look, not everyone can make it work, and even those with enough confidence to make a serious attempt usually end up looking like they're just trying too hard, said company spokesperson Vincent DeSoto, who acknowledged that marketing research indicates Americans wearing Ray-Ban aviator shades are 24 percent more likely to be perceived by their peers as assholes. 'The truth of the matter is, Americans don't have the face for it this summer, and unless you have exceptional cheekbones, we recommend you just leave your Ray-Bans hanging from your shirt collar without actually putting them on. Officials added that even if the glasses look ridiculous on Americans, this summer's Ray-Bans will still have a big logo on the lens so that everyone knows all the wearers are in some kind of special fucking club or something. 
2	James Woods Obliterates Obamas Solution To Islamic Terrorism With THIS Epic Action James Woods attacks Obamas reaction to Islamic terrorism, and happens to take a jab at liberals in general while at it. James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) December 5, 2015 We completely agree with him. Obama has no backbone, and is tearing this country apart. Obama is responsible for the Syrian Refugee crisis. He will not back down. The recent San Bernardino shooting was caused by a poor vetting system. Tashfeen Malik, one of the shooters, is a Pakistani-native that was able to get through Obamas piss-poor system with fake identification information. Do you think we need a different approach to stopping radical Islamic terrorists?

Joe Walsh spoke out against Islam, and then dared Lynch to do something about it. I think Islam has a real freaking problem, alright? There is a cancer in Islam, and if theyre not going to learn to assimilate, I dont want them in this country, he said. You got a problem, Loretta Lynch, with me saying that? Then throw me in jail, I think Islam is evil. I think Islam has a huge problem. I think most Muslims around the world are not compatible with American values. I dont want them here. I have a 1st Amendment right, Ms Lynch, to say whatever I want about Muslims. You want to try and prosecute me for what I say? I dare you, We support Walsh 100%. Do you agree that Islam is evil? 
1	A study released Monday by the University of Pennsylvania Department of Psychology revealed a direct correlation between smiling in adult American males and the scoring of touchdowns by incredibly large or obese football players. 'The initial results of the study proved that adult males offer at least a smirk at the sight of any extremely overweight man's head squished into a helmet,' said Dr. Caroline Nissen, who directed the study. 'But without fail, if that man happens to recover a turnover and begins to run with the ball, the size of the observer's smile grows exponentially, especially if the plump athlete attempts to jump over anything. By the time the obese player scores, literally every adult male we studied was grinning to the limits of his ability.' Thus far, the study is being heralded by the medical community as a potential cure-all for males suffering from chronic depression.

1	NEW YORK -- Holding up signs and roaring with applause, employees at Accenture Management Consultants dropped their work Tuesday morning to cheer on coworker James Conrad as he shattered company records by going for a 32-minute non-stop work streak, sources reported. Go! Go! Go! Go! coworkers chanted in unison as Conrad answered emails, analyzed data, and managed client accounts for the 19th straight minute without walking around the office, eating, or checking movie trailers on YouTube. Can he go for 20? He did it! Twenty minutes of unbroken productivity and counting! At the 22-minute mark, an exhausted Conrad was moments away from checking his Facebook account but was buoyed again by the cheers of his colleagues. UPDATE: Conrad's streak officially ended at the 32-minute mark when he took out his phone to post Busy day at the office on his Twitter account. 
2	Michelle Obama To Act On Popular TV Show First lady Michelle Obama will be appearing on the popular TV show Nashville in early May. The episode of Michelles guest appearance features RaynaJaymes, played by Connie Britton. In the show, Jaymes is organizing a benefit concert, when she learns that Luke Wheeler (Will Chase), was wounded in Afghanistan. Jaymes then goes on to visit Mrs. Obama and Kelly Pickler, to help put on the event. The episode is the final lead up to the season finale. The first lady has appeared on several other television shows as well, despite the busy schedule she claims to have. She has performed on Sesame Street, and even iCarly to promote physical fitness and her Lets Move campaign. Despite appearing mainly on the shows our children are watching, she has also made appearances on shows like Parks and Recreation. Nashville airs on Wednesday nights at 10 p.m. on ABC. Will you tune in to the First Ladys moment in the spotlight? 
2	BREAKING: Fox News Makes HUGE Announcement, Major Changes Under Way Well, it looks as though Fox News may be going through some serious changes. The changes will directly affect the Fox Network, rather than Fox News specifically, but they will without doubt impact the news station. Research suggested that Fox was scoring incredibly high with African Americans, but was soft in other demographics. In an effort to reach additional networks, Fox is looking to move to bigger, bolder programming. We dont aspire to be a cable network, Gary Newman of Fox told reporters. Were not looking to do smaller, dark programming. Were looking to have big, broad commercial hits. Some speculate that the networks move could indicate that Fox News may aspire to do the same thing. And conservatives fear that this could mean Fox News would cave to pressure to become more liberal. What do you think? Will Fox News stay strong despite pressure from the liberal population? 
2	BREAKING: Texas Militia Launches Operation Secure Our Border The border crisis has officially gotten out of hand, and unfortunately, nobody officially responsible seems to want to do anything about. It appears that the Obama administration attends to stand by and watch as illegal immigrants pour in uncontrollably from our Southern borders. States facing the majority of the conflict, like Texas and Arizona, have made numerous pleas to the government asking to their support. Now, the states are taking actions into their own hands, and a group of citizens calling themselves the Patriots are headed down to the border to take action where the government has not. According to reports, the group will be heading to the Texas-Mexico border in what is being called Operation Secure Our BorderLaredo. According to a spokeswoman for the group, the operation is a call for militia members to guard private property and places that are being threatened by drug cartels and from gangs.

2	When They Set Up Cameras, They Never Expected A Worker To Be Doing This To The Elderly [VIDEO] Ask anyone that has been hospitalized and theyll tell you: your nurse can make or break your experience. Thats why when we see nurses like Jared Axen, we have to tip our hats to him. Jared has been nicknamed the angel sent from Heaven because he is known for going above and beyond to make his patients feel cared for and at home. He is often spotting singing songs to patients while theyre confined to their beds. Hospice is not about giving up, Jared commented. It is about making those final months, weeks, days, and hours, the most meaningful. To Jared, that means coming equipped with a variety of Frank Sinatra classics and hymns. Hes been known to bring tears to the eyes of his patients. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do we need more nurses like Jared?

3	Video Proof Comedy Legend George Carlin Questioned the Official Story of 9/11By Jay Syrmopoulos So, it should come as no surprise that when it came to the governments official account of the events of 9/11, Carlin, when questioned at a book-signing event in October of 2007 regarding his thoughts on the 9/11 truth movement said: When the interviewer then naively asked him if he supported a new investigation of 9/11, the politically savvy Carlin explained that the government would never hold itself truly accountable likening it to the Kennedy thing. They dont investigate themselves in this country. It would be like the Kennedy thing, like everything. The people in charge do what they want, and they will always do what they want. The power does what it wants to and I wouldnt trust an investigation, Carlin said. At this point, apparently realizing he was being recorded, Carlin finished the conversation by saying, its just fun, its good speculation. Oh youre getting this on here. Well anyway now you know. Take care of yourself. The comedic genius of George Carlin was that he spoke such a plain truth through his art, with a prescient understanding of the rigged reality we all currently reside within. Ironically, Carlins message is arguably more relevant today than ever before. Jay Syrmopoulos is a political analyst, 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, Raw Story, MintPress News, as well as many other sites. You can follow him on Twitter @sirmetropolis, on Facebook at Sir Metropolis and now on tsu. Nice to know some of the big names are at least attempting to get the word out. Its like we imagined Soviet Russia to be, checking every thought to make sure its OK I was horrified by this evidence/example that even George Carlin felt it was necessary, or at least prudent, to censor himself 
3	China-Japan Spat Could Lead to World War IIIChris Carrington Former Chinese Ambassador Sha Zukang said in a report in The China Times: If China started a war with Japan, it would be much larger than both the Sino-Japanese War and World War II, said Sha. The United States and Japan should cooperate with China to maintain regional peace. In the last few days Japan has set up its own air defense zone, and that has spurred South Korea to do the same. Its the overlap of the air zones that could lead to further confrontation between the countries. The Korean zone comes into effect on December 15th. A report by political and economic analyst Ambrose Evans-Prichard states: Beijings implicit threat to shoot down any aircraft that fails to adhere to its new air control zone in the East China Sea is a watershed moment for the world. The issue cannot easily be finessed. Other countries either comply, or they dont comply. Somebody has to back down. The gravity of the latest dispute should by now be obvious even to those who dont pay attention the Pacific Rim, the most dangerous geostrategic fault line in the world. Japans foreign minister, Fumio Kishida, accused China of profoundly dangerous acts that unilaterally change the status quo. (source) The area around the Islands are rich fishing grounds and surveys show that natural gas is abundant in the area. Honor aside, these two things alone could turn what started as a regional disagreement into a major confrontation that spills over and effectively starts World War III. The US sent B52s through the middle of the Chinese Zone in an act of defiance. Does this mean they are backing Japan or will they do the same to the Japanese and Korean zones? We have been on war watch for some time now, the world is becoming an increasingly volatile place. This threat, though, is different. The Arms Control Association lists China as having 240 nuclear warheads. They also have the largest land army on the planet and an air force that is capable of intercepting and/or shooting down planes that violate its newly set up air defense zone. Its to be hoped that China decides to use words rather than actions, but only time will tell.

1	In anticipation of the release today of 42, the new Jackie Robinson biopic, moviegoers speculated that the film about the first African-American to play major-league baseball in the modern era most likely includes a scene in which a bunch of people yell horrible racist things at him and hes upset and wants to fight back but he doesnt. Theres probably this part where he walks into the stadium for the first time, and everyones shouting at him because hes black and they dont like that, and he wants to lash out, but then his friend grabs his arm and says, Beat em on the field, Jackie, and so he just keeps walking, said local man Clint Harrison, 36, who predicted that the movie might also include a scene in which Robinson wants to give up because everyones so mean to him, but then his strong-willed wife consoles him and tells him he needs to keep playing because its not just about him anymore. And at the beginning, all the guys on his team arent sure if they like him, but then he plays really, really good and some of them start to like him, and after a while they win a bunch of games, and by the end everybody likes him. Yeah, just like that. Harrison further conjectured that 42 is probably a bad movie.

1	They say the family that sits silently together stays silently together. And no one proves that old adage better than the Bladners. Whether enduring an uncomfortable outing at a local restaurant, attending an unpleasant community event, or simply staring blankly at the television, this tight-knit clan always makes an effort to spend plenty of awkward, silent quality time together. Gathered around the dinner table, the Bladners enjoy not catching up on the day's events. 'I read in Woman's Day how important it is for a family to spend time together,' Joanne Bladner said Monday, her husband Larry and two teenage children slumped in their chairs at the dinner table. 'In this day and age, so many families are hardly ever in the same room!' 'Well, I'm proud to say our little family is different,' said Bladner, spooning beef stew onto the plates of her glassy-eyed loved ones. Dinner at the Bladner residence is a special time: It's the one hour each day when Larry gets a chance to sit down with his wife and children and say nothing. As his loved ones rhythmically shovel food into their mouths, Larry reaches far across the table to grab the salt, straining to get it himself rather than ask son Marc to pass it to him. After years of conditioning, daughter Michelle eats in near-silence, avoiding eye contact and answering questions with mumbled, monosyllabic answers whenever possible. 'Until I move out of the house, I have to do the whole family thing and eat dinner at the table,' said Michelle, 16. 'If I eat fast and don't say anything, I can usually get done in time to watch The Simpsons.' Noted psychologist Dr. Alvin Tanner, who has called the evening meal 'the glue that holds the modern American family together,' applauded the Bladners' commitment to closeness. 'Families need to spend time together daily,' Tanner said. 'That's the only way children will form lasting bonds and learn what to do when they're adults and have families of their own.' On the rare occasion that they do speak, Larry and Joanne try to make their time together as enjoyable as possible by avoiding any subjects they disagree about, including the next-door neighbors, Michelle's recent car accident, college savings, the boxes in the garage, and Joanne's mother's nursing home. Joanne said she sees her family's tightness as part of a proud tradition. 'Larry's family was very close growing up,' Bladner said. 'He was raised on a farm, so they spent countless hours together out in the fields. Unfortunately, our family doesn't have any haying or corn-detasseling to do together, so we have to find other ways to stay close.' The four often spend hours after dinner watching television together. 'Marc wanted a TV set of his own, and I said, 'No way, buster,'' Larry said. 'Then he'd be spending all of his time watching MTV in his bedroom, instead of sitting out in the living room watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire with us.' In addition to sharing many quality viewing hours, the Bladners occasionally leave the house together. Years ago, they went on frequent family walks, but when the children reached adolescence, they began resisting this activity for fear of being seen by their peers. Marc and Michelle's changing attitude and their parents' advancing age have forced the Bladners to rule out a number of activities, including miniature golf, badminton, and trips to the local waterpark. 'It's getting a little harder to think of something fun we can all do together, but we always do,' Joanne said. 'More often than not, we go to Southgate Mall together. We'll drive over there together and pick a time to meet up afterwards. The kids seem to like that the best.' Glaring icily at each other during a recent drive to Southgate, Marc and Michelle jump out of the family minivan the moment it pulls into a parking spot and head for opposite ends of the mall. When the two cross paths inside, they wordlessly pass each other without acknowledgement. On the drive home from the mall, Larry reflected on his relationship with his children. 'I kind of miss the old days, when I was 'Daddy' to Marc and Michelle,' Larry said. 'They'd run up and sit on my lap, and I never got the feeling that they secretly hated me. But, goddamn it, I'm still their father, and as long as they live under my roof, we are going to be a seemingly happy family.' 
1	Pizza restaurants across the nation are reeling from severe delivery driver shortages following the start of this weekend's nationwide 'Battle of the Bands' competition. Members of the Columbus, OH, band Spacegoat perform during the first round of MTV's Battle of the Bands while their delivery vehicles sit unused. The MTV-sponsored competition, which awards $250,000 and a recording contract with Geffen Records to the winning band, takes place over the next five weeks, effectively crippling the pizza delivery industry through the end of January. 'Two hundred pizzas were ordered today. I was able to fill six orders,' said Bud Whitcomb, manager of Vinnie's Pizza in Columbus, OH. 'Everybody's gone: Doug is the bassist for Spacegoat, Chad is the drummer for ClawJockey, Tina's the lead singer for The Dead Taybacksthe list goes on and on.' Pizza-loving consumers are reeling from the tragedy as well. 'We used to order pizza every Sunday,' said Chapel Hill, NC, resident Cathy Feazall. 'But now, there's a five-day waiting list on a small pie with one topping, and even that may arrive cold.' 'For a priority pizza that comes the same day, most places around here are asking $80,' said Austin, TX, pizza lover Lew Futterman. 'I just don't have that kind of money.' Amidst the pizza industry's woes, tens of thousands of hopeful musicians are working overtime to tighten their sets for the MTV competition. 'I think we've got a good shot,' said Ed Wallis, 20, an L.A.-area Domino's Pizza delivery driver and guitarist for Boba Fetish. 'We've kind of got a ska-core/thrash sound, sort of a cross between No Doubt and Korn.' 'Pizza delivery's okay for now,' said Pete Grevstad of G.I. Joke. 'But my future's in playing music.'` 
3	America, Are War Criminals Running the USA?Catherine J. Frompovich Reading NYT journalist Scott Shanes report, one realizes just how much the public doesnt know but should, since the United States apparently committed what is being considered war crimes. That assessment came after a two year study by a bipartisan commission co-chaired by two former U.S. congressmen Republican, Asa Hutchinson and Democrat, James R. Jones of coercive interrogation methods used on prisoners by the George W. Bush administration. The Constitution Project convened the study, which resulted in The Report of the Constitution Projects Task Force on Detainee Treatment,[2] a 577-page document. Although the report covers actions taken during three different administrations beginning with that of President Bill Clinton and ending with that of President Barack Obama, most of the activity studied here occurred during the administration of President George W. Bush. This is unavoidable as Bush was president when the horrific attacks on U.S. soil occurred on September 11, 2001, and thus had the burden of responding quickly and decisively to the situation. While the report deals largely with the period of the Bush administrations response to the attacks, the investigation was neither a partisan undertaking nor should its conclusions be taken as anything other than an effort to understand what happened at many levels of U.S. policymaking.[3] Additionally, there is another still-secret Senate interrogation report that could shed further light and impact on the Constitution Projects report. Why are that Senate report and its information being withheld from U.S. taxpayers, who foot the bills for all the wars administration warmongers have gotten us into? As with all things politics, there are various opinions about how water boarding torture and other guaranteed methods of finding information ought to be considered. However, Co-chair James R. Jones sums up what he learned while working on the investigation as, I had not recognized the depths of torture in some cases. We lost our compass. Probably no one dissects the Constitution Projects report better than Dr. Steve Pieczenik, a psychiatric MD, former Naval Captain, and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State. To understand the report as Dr. Pieczenik interprets it from numerous years of solving international crises for various administrations, readers may want to visit his blog at http://pieczenik.blogspot.com/. Dr. Pieczenik has an interesting post on his blog about the Boston Marathon bombings. Maybe readers ought to check that out, since it contains more information than readers are being told by the mainstream media. Wednesday, April 17, 2013 Nice job on this one Alex, sums it up quite nicely.spoke to lots of friends in the area at the time, lots of fishy things going on.timing of the bombings, advance warnings, etc. (link) However, Dr. Pieczenik opens up about the Constitution Project report after the headline Obama Clinton and Bush Indicted For War Crimes While Media Exploits Boston False Flag posted here. Then, Dr. Pieczenik really goes full throttle on the Alex Jones show about the Boston Marathon events. What, in the name of Gods world is really going on that we dont know?

News reported. The controversial rapper met with Trump to discuss becoming an ambassador of sorts, a source close to West told reporters at E!. The source also noted that Trump has expressed interest in getting West involved in an entrepreneurial leadership role. Trump thinks hes a great role model when it comes to business, the insider commented, adding that Trumps team initiated the meeting with West. The meeting comes just two weeks after West was released from the hospital for exhaustion. His trip to New York City also included a trip to an apartment building in the Financial District and a recording studio. He spent only a brief amount of time with the President-elect before the two returned to the lobby of Trump Tower to answer questions. Corey Gamble and Ivanka Trump were also present during the meeting. Just friends, just friends, and hes a good man, Trump responded to reporters when asked about the meeting. Trump avoided questions about potential cabinet positions, focusing only on his personal relationship with the rapper. When asked about the topic of conversation, Trump said, We discussed life. West also denied comment on the meeting.

2	Look What Sickening Move Obama Just Made Right After FBI Reopens Investigation... Disgusting Truth The FBI shook the Clinton campaign to the core last week when they reopened the investigation into Hillarys use of a personal email server while she was Secretary of State. Now, Barack Obama has weighed in on the controversy. The White House found out about the investigation through media reports. We got it through press reports, principal deputy White House press secretary Eric Schultz told reporters during a conversation about Air Force One. When Obama was asked about the reports, he did not give it the attention it deserved. And reports indicate that he has continued campaigning for Clinton. It is outrageous that our President would be advocated for a criminal to be elected to the White House. Clinton is clearly unfit to run this country. Do you agree? 
1	DEERFIELD, ILLike generations of teenagers before him, 16-year-old Eric Jankowski has pulled up stakes to seek a future in a distant land of opportunity and independence. Bravely facing the difficulties of a harsh new world, he placed his meager possessions on his back and made a journey of 70 feet in search of a better life downstairs. Jankowski arrives in the basement, where he hopes to find increased freedom and opportunity. 'Life's gonna be so much better down here,' Jankowski said, his eyes gleaming as he placed a backpack on the unfinished basement's concrete floor Monday. 'There's totally enough room to set up some old couches so me and my friends can hang out. Plus, Dad says maybe I can put an air-hockey table down there if I promise to keep the noise down.' A sophomore at Edna Dane Memorial High School, Jankowski requested permission to move to a little-used storage room in his family's basement last month. After an excruciating three-week wait, his parents granted him emigration rights. 'I have no idea why Eric wants to live down there in that dark basement, but fine,' Jankowski's mother Ellen said. 'All I can say is that he'd better understand that there's not going to be any funny business. I told him, 'This house has rules. I don't care what floor you're on.'' In spite of such warnings, Jankowski is looking forward to the freedoms the basement offers, such as the ability to play his stereo loud and stay up late. 'This room is totally gonna kick ass once I get it set up,' Jankowski said. 'I got a line on a great set of speakers. Once I start making more money at Popeye's, I can save up to get a bigger TV. As for the walls, I'm getting rid of all my old posters and starting fresh from square one.' Determined as he is, Jankowski faces many difficulties. The basement bathroom has no working shower, so he will have to install one himself with the help of his friend, Rob Gaer. Carpet remnants will need to be collected. Cordless drills must be borrowed from an unwilling and suspicious father. Additionally, Jankowski will have to brave the elements during the harsh winter months, when temperatures in the basement dip as low as 50 degrees, necessitating the use of a space heater. According to Jankowski, the move offers the opportunity to escape an oppressive regime. 'Mom and Dad watch everything I do,' Jankowski said. 'But now, I'll be able to hear them coming down the stairs. And, if I'm slick about it, I'll be able to sneak out the basement window and, like, party.' Across the country, millions of suburban teens have sought better lives in the subterranean realm, a topic Dr. Grant Tompkins explores in Where The Floor Is Paved With Cement: An Adolescent's Quest For His Underground Domain, an account of his own teenage post-war journey downstairs. 'Downstairs migration surged in the '50s, with the proliferation of suburbs,' Tompkins said. 'Teens were excited by the taste of freedom that the economic prosperity of post-WWII America brought, and they wanted more. The conflict between the freewheeling beatniks and their strict forebears was reaching a boiling point. This, combined with large territories of virgin basement acreage, created conditions leading to a mass exodus of teens into the rough-hewn land below.' Though some would-be pioneers were told 'absolutely not, young man,' a great many made the journey down the stairs. 'For these trailblazers, the path was strewn with obstacles,' Tompkins said. 'Early suburban basements were dingy, drafty places filled with cobwebs and firewood. Many had only rudimentary, crumbling stairs. Nevertheless, the basement offered opportunities children of the Great Depression thought possible only in their dreams.' The upstairs room Jankowski escaped. Gus Kleinbold, 89, was one such Depression-era teen. 'When I was a boy, fat chance I would have my own basement room,' Kleinbold said. 'We slept five to a bed! When the war began, forget it. Not like the young people today, with their carpeted basements and X-Boxes.' By the '70s, the room downstairs was a cherished part of the American youth experience, Tompkins said. 'Some of them were squeezed out of the basement by baby-boomer parents claiming the territory for rec rooms. These teens were often forced to seek out new lives in the roof space of their homes, as dramatized in the Brady Bunch episode where Greg sets up a room in the attic,' Tompkins said. 'But for the most part, teens continued to settle in the basementa land of peace and undisturbed independence far below the war-torn lands of family strife and authoritarianism above.' In the '90s, teens began to populate their parents' basements even after graduation. Indeed, with easy access to pornography via the Internet and a depressed job market creating strong cultural and economic incentives to stay, some have inhabited their parents' basements well into their 30s. The way is still not easy for the population Tompkins calls the 'downwardly mobile,' but teens like Jankowski continue to be lured by the chance to pursue happiness on their own terms, combined with the opportunity to dream big. 'This room is gonna rule,' Jankowski said, hauling a cinderblock downstairs to serve as the cornerstone of a shelf. 'The chicks are gonna go crazy for it, too. I bet I'll totally get a girlfriend this year.'

3	This December, Agenda 21 is Getting an UpdateBy Rusticus So, too, is this UN Convention in Paris a celebration of the Kyoto Protocols numerological accomplishments, as COP21/CPM11 marks the 11th year of the emission regulations force as International Law (as of 2004). The purpose of these festivities, however, is hardly mere ceremony; as Agenda 21 comes of age, the burdens it places upon those living beneath its yoke are also maturing. Unlike every UN Climate Convention since Rio 1992, which were mere global visioning seminars, COP21, according to the Anglo-American Cambridge University, has far more grandiose and binding aspirations: The United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP21 or CMP11 will be held in Paris, France in 2015. The international climate conference will be held from 30 November to 11 December 2015. The conference objective is to achieve a legally binding and universal agreement on climate, from all the nations of the world. Cambridge Interdisciplinary Research on the Environment In other words, Agenda 21 v2.0 will soon be upon us. Information on what exactly this upgrade entails for Free Humanity is sparse, as the UN remains resolutely vague (perhaps deliberately, given recent notoriety surrounding sustainable development) on the specifics of the Conventions binding and universal agreement. Yet in spite of Globalisms sincere attempt to obfuscate Neofeudal Technocracys latest iteration, open-source intelligence can give us a glimpse behind the proverbial curtain at the magic tricks in store at COP21 this December. All the Worlds a (Sustainable) Stage As the curtain begins to rise on Act 2 of Agenda 21, its worth reminding ourselves of the nodes of forensic history which lead to COP21. Perhaps the most integral of these nodes is the research produced by whistleblower and activist, George Washington Hunt, in his party-crashing exploits at the pre-Rio planning committees of the early-90s, attended by such Globalist luminaries as Maurice Strong and Edmond de Rothschild; all of whom were caught on tape by Hunts daring infiltration: Even more undercirculated than Hunts video presentation are the documents this Conference produced. It is within these Anglophilic pages that the World Order created by Agenda 21 is spelled out with stunning clarity particularly as it pertains to the developing world, China and India chief among them: China and India, recognizing the influence their signatures (or lack thereof) would have on adopting Agenda 21 globally, told the UN succinctly: We havent come here for aid (IMF loans). Instead, we want in on the Western game of Global Trade (Neomercantilism). Give us a slice of the wealth pie (compensatory financial flows) or were not signing up. History informs us, however, that China and India did sign up for Rios binding protocols. The past twenty-odd years also spell out quite clearly that the Anglo-American Establishment has fulfilled its side of the wager to her former colonies. This Faustian Bargain has made India and China rich, but at what cost? Was the price paid by India and China their economic autonomy? While its certain that the Indian caste system and the State Capitalist collectivism of modern China are hardly beacons of liberal free market activity, their development includes elements of this therein; in fact, Eastern banking systems grow more Anglo-Saxon in ideal and structure by the day, despite the facade of independence being maintained. This blend of Western structure with Eastern identity in banking strikes one as the potential compromise reached between the First and Second worlds at UNCED a final bid to maintain the Anglo-Saxon system of banking: The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (or AIIB) is an excellent example of this burgeoning East-Anglo banking model. While widely reported by some as signifying the end of the decaying Western banking model, the AIIBs steadfast devotion to Agenda 21 makes one wonder whether or not the AIIB is a truly autonomous entity, or merely Chinas fulfillment of an Asian Development Bank or Development Bank of Latin America-style puppet as called for by Rio 92: It seems the AIIB plans not only on investing in green infrastructure projects, but will do so in partnership with the Globalist World Bank and ADB, both of which were set up by the West following the devastation of World War II. Christine Lagarde and the IMF, too, state that they would be Delighted to work with the AIIB. Is this new system of banking and financing what Edmond de Rothschild meant when he referenced a Second World Marshall Plan in relation to Agenda 21, as described in Hunts recording? Is this why developing nations should look to Germany and Japan, countries rebuilt by World Bank funding, for their banking models, as described in the UNCED document? One must bear in mind that the United Nations Council on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) quoted in the document above is the same group which authored the paper, A BRICS Development Bank A Dream Coming True? in March of 2014, which heralds the rise of the BRICS New Development Bank as a global force for sustainable development and an ardent partner in Agenda 21: And thus, a pattern emerges the New Kids on the Trading Bloc and their corresponding banks are, universally, in lock-step with Agenda 21 and the multipolar Technocratic Order it represents. From sustainable banking to metals exchanges, the infrastructure required by a reinvention of the Global Order seems to be in place in advance of COP21, with the exception of at least one key element: A global carbon credit scheme. Carbon Credits Cometh Much ado has been made recently within the alternative media about the IMFs decision to delay inclusion of the Yuan into the SDR basket until September of 2016, with various theories floated as to why this has occurred. Viewing this announcement within the context of COP21s heavy emphasis on the future of carbon trading markets, a piece of the Yuan-SDR puzzle falls into place; if what anti-Technocracy researchers like Patrick Wood have unveiled is true, Global Technocracys Neomalthusian environmental implements must also develop in tandem with a new currency system underpinned by energy credits. The pre-release documents from COP21s Scientific and Technological Advice PDF, as well as COP21s sponsors, hint at this being an integral part of the discussions taking place in December: One key country expected to be signatory to COP21s treaty has revealed that they are not yet ready for the new market-based mechanism the UN will require: China. The Chinese National Development and Reform Commission announced that their national carbon trading markets will not be ready until late 2016 at the earliest: So it seems the IMF has delayed the Yuans SDR inclusion for almost exactly as long as it will take for China to launch its national carbon trading scheme is this mere coincidence? The timing of these moves strikes this author as potentially significant. The launch of this national program will be built on the foundation of the regional carbon markets China has been fostering over the past few years, one of which should be familiar to us: The site of the Trilateral-assisted Eco-City, Tianjin, is also the site of Chinas pilot carbon trading market; the same Tianjin whose not-so-smart counterpart was recently set ablaze by a mysterious explosion, ostensibly caused by chemicals. If the problem of unsustainable manufacture and development wasnt clear to Chinas human resources before last week, it is now. Hegel 21 back then, we were talking about projections of a problem (Climate Change) with literally no solutions that we could talk about. And that is, for people, just not going to work. People need to know that theres hopefulness before theyre gonna even admit theres a problem. If you give them a problem and theres no solution, they pretend it doesnt happen. Weve been doing that for 25 or 30 years. What we see now is that we actually have solutions, and were actually being hit with the problem now. Gina McCarthy, EPA Administrator This is how the head of the EPA, Gina McCarthy, chose to frame the Obama Administrations implementation of the Malthusian Clean Power Plan during her tell-a-vision appearance with Bilderberger and CFR member Charlie Rose. Sound familiar? The Hegelian Dialectic strikes again, only this time, on a global stage. The mass of the public, properly conditioned to accept Climate Change as the Harbinger of Doom, is now prepared for the solutions phase of Eco-Fascism: The final round of de-industrialization and centralization of the American power grid. This latest Hegelian tricks synthesis, birthed from the antithesis represented by the EPAs slashing of American carbon emissions, must inevitably include the rapid development of American renewable power: Regardless of the winner of the 2016 Presidential (s)election, the mechanics for such a program are already well underway at the Corporatist level, as China, the largest solar panel producing country on Earth, is well underway in supplying American solar infrastructure: In the case of Sunivas purchase by Shunfeng Clean Energy, Chinas solar juggernaut worth over $20 billion, the merger will be underwritten by two powerful forces of Anglo-American wealth as well: The Warburg banking family and the ever-present Goldman Sachs are steadfast in their support of this sustainable trend. A safe bet, surely, as the Obama Administrations Clean Power Act virtually requires a tremendous uptick in solar panel manufacture for the West. COP21 is set to require even more. Will the cheap money for cheap goods and cheap precious metal for cheap bonds relationship between China and the West soon be joined by a carbon credits for cheap solar panels arrangement? As experts on the East-West Dialectic and originators of the term BRICs as early as 2003, Goldman seems to be betting that this is the case: One may recall a recent post, China 21: Anglo-American Sustainability in Asia, in which this author noted the Hegelian Dialectics use to usher survivors of Fukushima into Agenda 21 Smart Cities. We see these same Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis tactics at work in the rubble of Tianjin. Whoever or whatever caused the Tianjin blast, whether or not this is a case of a synthetic event or simply a matter of never letting a good crisis go to waste, the reality of the situation is unchanged: The old Tianjin is in ruin, whereas Tianjin Eco-City, located outside of the blast radius, remains in tact with its scheduled completion in 2020 unhindered: In tandem with old Tianjins destruction, degradation of air quality is also being reported surrounding the blast site; air quality issues that, presumably, would not exist had Tianjin Eco-City been at full capacity and the environmental standards of COP21 been fully developed: Tianjin Eco-City, unlike its counterpart, already includes a greenhouse gas data interface, a trait shared by every Smart City on planet Earth. Nor would Tianjin Eco-Citys Eco-Industrial Park have allowed such volatile and unsustainable manufacturing to take place in the first place. This is the thesis as constructed in the Hegelian programming surrounding the Tianjin catastrophe. All thats left now is for transnational Technocrats to wait in anticipation for the ultimate synthesis to be unveiled this December at COP21, and given the grand overtures being prepared by all nations in advance of the Paris conference, the legally binding and universal agreement it will produce is set to be no less bombastic. The specifics of the threat posed by COP21 to Free Humanity can only be divined upon the gatherings close, but its overall aspirations are known to us. They are the same in 2015 at COP21 as they were at Rio in 1992; the same today as in 1972 with the Club of Romes publication of The Limits to Growth. Nothing short of global colonization by the Anglo-American Establishment, as admitted at UNCED 92: To the billions of Lilliputians of lesser race out there, myself included, we have been warned. The Hour is Late. Whether the Fabian degradation of freedom and prosperity continue their steady grind or the world is compelled by economic catastrophe into implementing Global Sustainability as foretold by Maurice Strong, the remainder of 2015 and 2016 are set to be a turbulent period in this ongoing Age of Transitions. Amidst the potential tumult that Act 2 of Agenda 21 and other geopolitical events may yield, just remember, Reader: You either learn your way towards writing your own script in life, or you unwittingly become an actor in someone elses script.

2	Sex Slave That Escaped From ISIS Explains Why Obama Is A Traitor [VIDEO] According to recent reports, a former Islamic State sex slave appearing before the Congress encouraged the U.S. to fight the radical terrorist group with more urgency. Nadia Murad, a Yazidi woman who escaped captivity just two years ago, testified before the Senate Homeland Security committee about the horrors of living under ISIS. The USA must act, she said through a translator. We must terminate Daesh [Islamic State] and all such terror. Daesh will not give up their weapons unless we force them to give up their weapons. Murad also specifically addressed the Orlando massacre that left nearly 50 people dead, offering condolences to the victims. I knew if ISIS were not stopped, they would deliver their crimes everywhere, Murad commented. She criticized the Obama administration for its inability to act in protecting Americans and others from these terrors. If a country as strong as your country cannot protect its citizens in Orlando, or in Belgium or in France, Murad asked, how come a small minority like us can protect ourselves while we are in the heart of the land where the radicals are? That is a very good question. Watch the full video below and tell us what you think. 
3	Corrupt OC - Will FBI probe put more county officials behind bars?Ruth Hull According to various news sources, including the Los Angeles Times, Capitol News and elsewhere , the F.B.I. is finally investigating corruption in Orange County. For the last three years, seniors, crime victims and others have demanded an investigation of District Attorney Tony Rackauckas and other high-level officials. Will his office itself be investigated, or will it misdirect the investigation against his political enemies? Will the F.B.I. do its job and get at the real corruption in the county or will the investigation be a whitewash? What is bringing the F.B.I to town this time? Did they listen to the Orange County residents or did Orange County leaders forget to give the feds their cut? Assuming they are investigating actual corruption, where will they begin? OC Corruption 101A: Who made the life savings of Orange County Seniors disappear? In recent years, there has been a shuffling at at the Orange County Public Guardians office. It seems that former Public Guardian John Williams got the ax after he was caught with his hands in the pockets of the countys senior citizens and even the pockets of their heirs. (Yes, Orange County politicians have a pocket fetish.) But the real corruption issue revolves around a connection between Williams and District Attorney TonyRackauckausthat was never investigated to the satisfaction of residents. Why was Deputy District Attorney Todd Spitzer fired over a phone call inquiring about a case at the Public Guardians office? That case exposed serious mismanagement of funds involving the District Attorneys girlfriend Peggy Buff and former Public Guardian John Williams? It wasnt Williams or Buff who fired Spitzer. The firing came from Buffs boyfriend Rackauckaus, who cited Spitzers inquiry as the reason for the firing. Was that an admission on the District Attorneys part that he was involved in the corruption? A lot of Orange County residents and officials believe so. Is the F.B.I. finally following the lead of over 80,000 police officers, who asked that the Spitzer firing be investigated? Will the ever popular Todd Spitzer (now a county supervisor) be the next district attorney? In Anaheim, an unarmed Manuel Diaz was shot and killed by an assailant with a badge. There has been no prosecution. In instance after instance of police shootings, families are hit with excuse after excuse as to why the killing of their unarmed, law-abiding loved one was not a crime. Most toy stores sell toy badges. If you buy one before you commit a crime, does it double as a get out of jail free card? Why is Quee Chadwick dead? Why was her husband allowed to kill her, take her to San Diego and dump her in a dumpster? Too often Orange County women find they have to die to get the attention of Orange Countys law enforcement and lead prosecutor. Even then, crimes against women are rarely prosecuted. Rackauckaushas yet to prosecute the case of the elderly woman whose life savings was ripped off through banking transfers pulled off by a man who abused and tried to starve the woman before she was rescued. Like other crime victims, the Santa Ana woman discovered that some criminals are above the law. She died in fear, hoping some official or the courts would help her get her money back. Her assailant was a political aspirant who had run for public office and who was tight with friends ofRackauckaus. At the last city Santa Ana City Council meeting, an informant commented that one of the top complaints of families of deceased Orange County victims of violent crimes is that the autopsy results dont always match what the treating physicians told them about the cause of death. This makes it easier not to prosecute those responsible for violent homicides. Better watch out. In Orange County, a bullet to the head could be declared a heart attack. Domestic violence is almost never prosecuted in Orange County. Ive personally spoken with many victims who find it hard to understand why bruises, blood and death threats mean nothing to Tony Rackaukaus. These victims cannot understand why battered females are treated as yesterdays garbage by the district attorneys office in this county. However some crimes are prosecuted. If you are of Palestinian descent and you turn your back on the Israeli Ambassador,expect to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Or if you are an American doctor from Iran and you mess up your paper work, expect a jail sentence. An Iranian doctor named Amir discovered no good deed goes unpunished where Rackauckaus is concerned. Amir donated long hours without pay to people in need. His failing was that he was barely literate in English and messed up his paperwork a crime worse than murder in Orange County. Some young men who were treated by him had filed an insurance claim (though Amir didnt receive any money or contact the insurance company himself). But when the insurance company went to look up the claims of he young men, the paper work had been was badly done. Tony pulled out all the stops to get this language offender. Amir was prosecuted by one of the top deputy district attorneys, Claudia Alvarez, who had nothing better to do than jail people for bad paperwork. She pointed out that he sometime did the sinister act of shortening his name to Rossi. Part of the trouble is that much of the District Attorneys funding comes from the Insurance Department, giving insurance companies priority over flesh and blood people in Orange County. So, in Orange County, you are pretty much free to kill away as long as you keep your paper work in order and dont turn your back on any warmongers. OC Corruption 101C: Make sure you have on your bullet proof vest next time you see a police officer. The police in Orange County are too busy beating or shooting the residents to burden themselves with mundane tasks, like arresting or even investigating violent crimes. I spoke with a beautiful female crime victim in the Santa Ana Hills whose husband had hidden in her attic for a year in violation of a domestic violence restraining order. After he was caught, nothing happened. Restraining order violators are above the law in this county. Some people are just above the law, like an Orange County man who photographed his restraining order violations and put the photographs into his divorce file and sent the evidence to the opposing council and the court. You would think he would be in jail. One of his victims is dead. Two others are in fear for their lives. When his daughter reported that he sexually abused her, the officers of the Santa Ana Police Department laughed. Identity theft, grand theft and Internet bank fraud are no longer considered crimes for the most part in Orange County. The Santa Ana Police Department tells victims of grand theft to file civil suits even when the banks present strong evidence of the crimes. The Sheriffs office also sidesteps these matter and fails to take action against bank thieves. Sandra Hutchens might want to supply her deputies with copies of the penal code. Most are hold-overs from the Corona days. However, if you are a Latino, hang onto your identification. Misplacing it can get you arrested (long term) in Santa Ana even if you are an American citizen. But be polite even if the officers are mistreating you. Calling an officer a name can get you shot and killed in Santa Ana as Kevin Arellano recently discovered. The Santa Ana Police department has shot five unarmed residents this year. At the August 5th meeting of the Santa Ana City Council, residents packed the room to call for a federal civil rights probe into the Santa Ana police department. Former elected school board member Steve Rocco blamed the Santa Ana City Council for police killings and for covering up murders. In Fullerton, they dont have to shoot you. The police, there have become experts in beating homeless people like Kelly Thomas to death. Are you still waiting for that video that shows who entered the parking garage where Monica Quan and Keith Lawrence were supposedly killed? Dont hold your breath. The Irvine Police Department is not releasing it. Theyve got it. I spoke to the security guard who was present when the police confiscated it. The IPDs refusal of the freedom of information request amounted to an admission that it was in their possession. Is the truth too explosive? Chis Dorner is dead executed without a trial or even an indictment. So who is being protected by the withholding of the video? OC Corruption 101D: Justice? That went bye-bye long ago when the judges discovered they could ignore all those pesky little statutes. Orange County has a reputation for providing justice to the highest bidder. Very few, if any, attorneys in Orange are even willing to represent crime victims. Ive personally brought this issue up with the bar. The State Bar is aware of the problem and has no solution. If you are poor, run. Orange Countys corruption appears so pervasive that it has even spread to nearby counties. In Riverside County, crime victim and international reporter Janet Phelan asked Judge Thomas Cahraman if embezzlement was a crime. He did not answer her. Crime victims throughout Southern California are finding that judges dont consider the most clear-cut and extreme violations of law by the rich to be crimes. Why are judges ignoring the law? Why do police and district attorneys ignore the law? Have the law-keepers become so lawless that justice is a thing of the past? So, with the F.B.I calling on Orange County officials, can the residents expect a showy whitewash or will the people get changes and actual justice? The answer is yet to be seen.

2	Lib Scum Who Beat Up Trump Supporter Quickly Meet World Of Pain For nearly a year now, liberals have warned America that Donald Trump would spark violence in the United States. Now that hes our President-elect, it seems these hypocrites are taking to the streets to riot and beat up anyone they assume voted for him. According to Conservative Tribune, the four men who made national headlines after the election for beating up a supporter on video and then stealing his car have finally been apprehended by the Chicago Police Department. The four criminals quickly became viral villains after footage of them beating up a defenseless 50-year-old man was shared thousands of times. The shocking clip shows the men brutally beating David Wilcox, while observers scream, You voted for Trump! The four suspects are Julian Christian, 26; DeJuan Collins, 20; Rejane Lewis, 21; and a 17-year-old minor who was not named. All involved have been charged with vehicular hijacking. They had their first court appearance on Friday, though no details have been released. The incident occurred the day after Election Day. Reports indicate a minor traffic accident sparked the beating. I stopped and parked, Wilcox told the Chicago Tribune. And I asked if they had insurance, and the next thing that I knew they were beating the s*** out of me. When the men tried to take off with his car, Wilcox held on for as long as he couldbut to no avail. They were beating me to have me let go of the car, Wilcox said. God was watching over for me. I rolled about five or seven times into the oncoming traffic lanes, he added. One of the most controversial aspects of this case is that none of these individuals have been charged with a hate crime. Apparently targeting someone because of his political beliefs (and likely his race) is not enough to convince leftists this is seriously wrong. What do you think should happen to these four tyrants if theyre convicted? 
2	Country Superstar Is In Horrible Condition Following His Major EmbarrassmentHe Needs Help Trace Adkins went on a bender following his huge relapse this weekend. Trace has struggled his entire life with alcoholism. He has been known to fall off the wagon, but his family thought this time would be different. He had been sober for a few months. Sadly he did not stay sober for more time. He relapsed while performing at a St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital fundraiser. It was a very sad sight. Apparently he was slouched over his stool and slurring his words the entire time. He entered rehab in 2014, but fell off shortly after. Trace has since apologized to the charity and donated his entire entire performance fee back to the charity. That is the least he can do. He really messed up this time. He needs help, but what he needs now is for people to respect his space and not pry at his life. Trace is at a very vulnerable point in his life. He can either continue down a horrible path, or stop this downward trend and get help. I believe in trace and believe in his self-discipline. Addicts have serious mental problems, but having a good support system is where it all really begins. Trace has this support system in his family and friends. We all hope that Trace gets better. We hope that he gets as much help as he possibly can. Will you pray for Trace?

3	Property Rights and Property Taxesand Countries That Dont Have ThemNick Giambruno, Senior Editor InternationalMan.com I would say that you dont. You would possess such an item, but you wouldnt own itan important distinction. A ridiculous perversion of the concept of ownership and property rights has infected most of the world like a virus: something that most people unquestioningly accept as a normal part of lifelike its a part of the eternal fabric of the cosmos. I am talking about property taxes, of course. You know, the annual tax you pay that is based not on whether any income was generated, but rather on the underlying value of real estate you supposedly own. There is no way to pay off this obligation in one fell swoop; it stays with you for as long as you own the property. In actuality, you dont own anything which you must pay property taxes onyou are merely renting it from the government. Suppose you bought a sofa set and coffee table for your living room for $5,000 cash, and then had the obligation to pay $100or a percentage of the furnitures valuein tax each year for as long as you owned it. Then suppose that for whatever reason youre unable or unwilling to pay your furnitures property tax. It wont take long for the government to swoop in and confiscate it to pay off your delinquent taxes. You get to own it as long as you pay the never-ending annual feestop paying and youll find out who really owns it. While many people would correctly find a furniture property tax absurd, they also illogically find it acceptable for the government to levy an insatiable tax on different assetsnamely their homes, offices, and raw land. But to me at least, the type of asset being taxed is not what makes it absurd, its the concept of property taxes that is absurd. Respect for property rights and property taxes are mutually exclusive concepts. Whats yours is yours, and you shouldnt need to pay the government for permission to keep it. Its not uncommon for people in North America and Europe to pay tens of thousands of dollars per year in property taxes just to live in their own homes. And this burden will almost certainly continue to rise. Property taxes are constantly being raised in most places, especially in places with poor fiscal health. Its very possible that over a lifetime, the total amount of property taxes extracted will exceed what was paid for the underlying property in the first place. And, just like the furniture example above, if you dont pay your property tax (AKA government rent) on the home you thought you owned, it will be confiscated. This is not as uncommon as some would believe. It was estimated that 10,000 people in Pennsylvania alone lose their homes annually because they arent able to keep up with the property taxes. Speaking of sloppy thinking, expect Boobus Americanus to say things like how would we pay for local services like public schools if it werent for property taxes? Of course, these services could be funded in many different waysor better, they could be provided for in the free market. But dont expect that to happen. In fact, given the social, political, and economic dynamics in the US and most of the rest of the West, expect the oppositeproperty taxes have nowhere to go but north. I have previously written that I view real estate in foreign countriesalong with physical gold held abroadas superior vehicles for long-term savings. Heres a list of countries that do not levy any property taxes: Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Nicaraguahave property taxes, but the obligations are generally negligible. The risk, of course, is that since a property tax is already in place in these countries it can easily be increased whenever the government decides it needs more revenue. Case in point: the bankrupt government of Greece. Consider the excerpt below from an article in The Guardian. The joke now doing the rounds is: if you want to punish your child, you threaten to pass on property to them Greeks traditionally have always regarded property as a secure investment. But now it has become a huge millstone, given that the tax burden has increased sevenfold in the past two years alone. The country on the list above that most interests me is the Cayman Islands, but to each his own. This is because most Caymanians are vehemently opposed to all forms of direct taxation and have never had it in their history. That attitude and history is a good guarantor that it will be very unlikely for a property tax to be imposed sometime in the future. In any case, buying foreign real estate is a very individualized and often complex decisionbut one that provides huge diversification benefits. Property taxes are but one consideration. You should look at foreign real estate less as a vehicle for a quick return and more as a diversified long-term store of wealth. Wherever you decide to buy, it should also be in a place that you would actually want to spend some significant time in. That way, the property has value to you, regardless of whether it proves to be a good investment. One expert on foreign real estate whom Id highly recommend is none other than Doug Casey, the original International Man and my mentor. Dougs been to over 175 countries and invested in real estate in a number them. He wrote a thick and detailed chapter on foreign real estate, including his favorite markets, for our Going Global publication, which is a must-read for those interested in this extremely important topic. So in other words, you may be the keeper of your own property, but never the true owner? Thats odd, since the government was created to PROTECT your property and freedoms; never to own them. The US government started(after the revolution of coarse) by taxing businesses to pay for a police force(law and order) and a military(protect from overseas threats). The citizens of the said nation paid a higher price on goods and services(due to taxation) and enjoyed citizenship and more or less peace then by themselves. The Social Contract is Bullshit, thats how tyranny starts 
2	After His Break Up Bake Shelton Reveals MASSIVE SecretsI Never Expected THIS Blake Shelton has had a year that will go down as one of the most exciting, sad, happy, and fulfilling years of his life. This emotional rollercoaster has provided him with enough material to write more than he has in 15 years! This album is one of countrys most anticipated albums of the year and I know I am not the only one excited for it. Shelton has told Country Countdown USA that his horrible 2015 year was the reason this album was made. He hopes to give his fans a look inside his personal life and not learn everything from the tabloids. Shelton believes that this album is the most personal album he has ever had the privilege to write. He is truly wearing his heart on his sleeve for his fans. I am sure this album will be unbelievable in every single way. I know for a fact that he has some special guest stars lined up. Blake recently had an awesome recording session with The Oak Ridge Boys. Blake posted a photo on twitter stating that the recording session was literally magic and that he cannot wait for his new album. Both Blake and The Oak Ridge Boys posted 5 other pictures. All of the pictures showed the men having a blast with each other. Seeing these two great performers together has made me even more excited for the album than I was five minutes ago. Will you buy this album? 
3	37 Reasons Why The Economic Recovery Of 2013 Is A Giant LieMichael Snyder On Friday, it was announced that the unemployment rate had fallen to 7 percent, and the mainstream media responded with a mix of euphoria and jubilation. For example,one USA Today article declared that with todays jobs report, one really can say that our long national post-financial crisis nightmare is over. But is that actually the truth? As you will see below, if you assume that the labor force participation rate in the U.S. is at the long-term average, the unemployment rate in the United States would actually be 11.5 percent instead of 7 percent. There has been absolutely no employment recovery. The percentage of Americans that are actually working has stayed between 58 and 59 percent for 51 months in a row. But most Americans dont understand these things and they just take whatever the mainstream media tells them as the truth. And of course the reality of the matter is that we should have seen some sort of an economic recovery by now. Those running our system have literally been mortgaging the future in a desperate attempt to try to pump up our economic numbers. The federal government has been on the greatest debt binge in U.S. history and the Federal Reserve has been printing money like crazed lunatics. All of that stimulus should have had some positive short-term effects on the economy. #1 The only reason that the official unemployment rate has been declining over the past couple of years is that the federal government has been pretending that millions upon millions of unemployed Americans no longer want a job and have left the labor force. As Zero Hedge recently demonstrated, if the labor force participation rate returned to the long-term average of 65.8 percent, the official unemployment rate in the United States would actually be 11.5 percent instead of 7 percent. #2 The percentage of Americans that are actually working is much lower than it used to be. In November 2000, 64.3 percent of all working age Americans had a job. When Barack Obama first entered the White House, 60.6 percent of all working age Americans had a job. Today, only 58.6 percent of all working age Americans have a job. In fact, as you can see from the chart posted below, there has been absolutely no employment recovery since the depths of the last recession #4 There are 1,148,000 fewer Americans working today than there was in November 2006. Meanwhile, our population has grown by more than 16 million people during that time frame. #5 The inactivity rate for men in their prime working years (25 to 54) has just hit a brand new all-time record high. Does this look like an economic recovery to you? #7 In November 2007, there were 121.9 million full-time workers in the United States. Today, there are only 116.9 million full-time workers in the United States. #8 Middle-wage jobs accounted for 60 percent of the jobs lost during the last recession, but they have accounted for only 22 percent of the jobs created since then. #9 Only about 47 percent of all adults in America have a full-time job at this point. #10 The ratio of wages to corporate profits in the United States just hit a brand new all-time low. #11 It is hard to believe, but in America today one out of every ten jobs is now filled by a temp agency. #12 Approximately one out of every four part-time workers in America is living below the poverty line. #13 In this economic environment, there is intense competition even for the lowest paying jobs. Wal-Mart recently opened up two new stores in Washington D.C., and more than 23,000 people applied for just 600 positions. That means that only about 2.6 percent of the applicants were ultimately hired. In comparison, Harvard offers admission to 6.1 percent of their applicants. #14 According to the Social Security Administration, 40 percent of all U.S. workers make less than $20,000 a year. #15 When Barack Obama took office, the average duration of unemployment in this country was 19.8 weeks. Today, it is 37.2 weeks. #16 According to the New York Times, long-term unemployment in America is up by 213 percent since 2007. #17 Thanks to Obama administration policies which are systematically killing off small businesses in the United States, the percentage of self-employed Americans is at an all-time low today. #18 According to economist Tim Kane, the following is how the number of startup jobs per 1000 Americans breaks down by presidential administration Bush Sr.: 11.3 #19 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, median household income in the United States has fallen for five years in a row. #20 The rate of homeownership in the United States has fallen for eight years in a row. #21 Back in 1999, 64.1 percent of all Americans were covered by employment-based health insurance. Today, only 54.9 percent of all Americans are covered by employment-based health insurance, and thanks to Obamacare millions more Americans are now losing their health insurance plans. #22 As 2003 began, the average price of a gallon of regular gasoline was about $1.30. When Barack Obama took office, the average price of a gallon of regular gasoline was $1.85. Today, it is $3.26. #23 Total consumer credit has risen by a whopping 22 percent over the past three years. #24 In 2008, the total amount of student loan debt in this country was sitting at about 440 billion dollars. Today, it has shot up to approximately a trillion dollars. #25 Under Barack Obama, the velocity of money (a very important indicator of economic health) has plunged to a post-World War II low. #26 Back in the year 2000, our trade deficit with China was 83 billion dollars. In 2008, our trade deficit with China was 268 billion dollars. Last year, it was 315 billion dollars. That was the largest trade deficit that one nation has had with another nation in world history. #27 The gap between the rich and the poor in the United States is at an all-time record high. #28 Right now, 1.2 million students that attend public schools in the United States are homeless. That is a brand new all-time record high, and that number has risen by 72 percent since the start of the last recession. #29 When Barack Obama first entered the White House, there were about 32 million Americans on food stamps. Today, there are more than 47 million Americans on food stamps. #30 Right now, approximately one out of every five households in the United States is on food stamps. #31 According to the Survey of Income and Program Participation conducted by the U.S. Census, well over 100 million Americans are enrolled in at least one welfare program run by the federal government. #32 In 2000, the U.S. government spent 199 billion dollars on Medicaid. In 2008, the U.S. government spent 338 billion dollars on Medicaid. In 2012, the U.S. government spent 417 billion dollars on Medicaid, and now Obamacare is going to add tens of millions more Americans to the Medicaid rolls. #33 In 2000, the U.S. government spent 219 billion dollars on Medicare. In 2008, the U.S. government spent 462 billion dollars on Medicare. In 2012, the U.S. government spent 560 billion dollars on Medicare, and that number is expected to absolutely skyrocket in the years ahead as the Baby Boomers retire. #34 According to the most recent numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau, an all-time record high 49.2 percent of all Americans are receiving benefits from at least one government program. #35 The U.S. government has spent an astounding 3.7 trillion dollars on welfare programs over the past five years. #36 When Barack Obama was first elected, the U.S. debt to GDP ratio was under 70 percent. Today, it is up to 101 percent. #37 The U.S. national debt is on pace to more than double during the eight years of the Obama administration. In other words, under Barack Obama the U.S. government will accumulate more debt than it did under all of the other presidents in U.S. history combined. Fortunately, it appears that most Americans are not buying into the propaganda. According to a new CNN survey, the percentage of Americans that believe that the economy is getting worse far exceeds the percentage of Americans that believe that the economy is improving Americans views on the state of the nation are turning increasingly sour, according to a new national poll. And a CNN/ORC International survey released Friday also indicates that less than a quarter of the public says that economic conditions are improving, while nearly four in ten say the nations economy is getting worse. Forty-one percent of those questioned in the poll say things are going well in the country today, down nine percentage points from April, and the lowest that number has been in CNN polling since February 2012. Fifty-nine percent say things are going badly, up nine points from April. So what do you think? Do you believe that the U.S. economy is getting better or getting worse?

3	Glenn Greenwald slams robust oversight, says Congress learned about NSA spying via mediaMadison Ruppert Some are now claiming that Greenwald isnt even a journalist while others have insinuated that he could be charged with crimes for working with Snowden, who was granted temporary asylum in Russia. In his comments made on This Week with George Stephanopoulos today, Greenwald made reference to the fact that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court has determined that the governments surveillance has breached the Fourth Amendment at least once. The Obama administration has gone above and beyond to make sure that opinion does not get released. Meanwhile, others are fighting to pass legislation that would bring more transparency to the FISA court, which currently enjoys an impenetrable veil of secrecy. Senators have been pushing for more transparency in the FISA court for quite some time now. Thats extraordinary, to have a court opinion ruling that our government violated the constitution and the law, and not only cant we read it, but neither can our representatives in Congress, Greenwald said. Greenwald mentioned his article published today, including the two letters from Morgan Griffith (R-Va.) and Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) in which the representatives attempted to obtain basic information about the National Security Agency (NSA). Members from both political parties came to us and showed us all kinds of letters and emails theyve been exchanging, in which theyre trying to get the most basic information about what the NSA is doing, in spying on American citizens, and what the FISA court has been doing in terms of declaring some of this illegal, some of it legal, Greenwald said to guest host Martha Raddatz in the clip embedded below. Theyve being blocked from getting it. Indeed, some lawmakers said that they were not made aware of the extent or nature of the NSA surveillance programs, something which Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Ct.) repeated on Wednesday. The revelations about the magnitude, the scope and scale of these surveillances, the metadata and the invasive actions surveillance of social media Web sites were indeed revelations to me, Blumenthal said to MSNBCs Chris Hayes. Beyond that, members who seek out basic information including about NSA programs they are required to vote on and FISA court (FISC) rulings on the legality of those programs find that they are unable to obtain it, Greenwald reported today. If I cant get basic information about these programs, then Im not able to do my job, Griffith said to Greenwald. As Griffith noted, his job includes making decisions about whether these programs should be funded, but also an oath to safeguard the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, which includes the Fourth Amendment. Obviously it becomes difficult to do that when one does not have all of the pertinent information. We keep hearing that theres all kinds of robust oversight by Congress, and need not worry, Greenwald said to Raddatz today, but he said that lawmakers who have contacted him have said that theyre being forced to learn about what the NSA is doing from what they learn about in our reporting.

2	BREAKING: Congress Bypasses FBI, Moves To Charge Hillary With Federal Crime It looks like there could be some good news on the horizon for anyone outraged that Hillary Clinton has not been held legally responsible for any of her crimes against the American people. According to reports, in a letter to U.S. Attorney Channing Phillips signed by Chaffetz and Goodaltte, Congress has asked the court to open an investigation to determine whether Clinton committed perjury. The letter is included below: Dear Mr. Phillips: We write to request an investigation to determine whether Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton committed perjury and made false statements during her testimony under oath before congressional committees. While testifying before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on July 7, 2016, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey stated the truthfulness of Secretarys testimony before Congress was not within the scope of the FBIs investigation. Nor had the FBI even considered any of Secretary Clintons testimony. Director Comey further testified the Department of Justice requires a criminal referral from Congress to initiate an investigation of Secretary Clintons congressional testimony. We are writing for that purpose. In light of those contradictions, the Department should investigate and determine whether to prosecute Secretary Clinton for violating statutes that prohibit perjury and false statements to Congress, or any other relevant statutes. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. During FBI Director Comeys testimony before Congress, he admitted that statements made by Clinton under oath were not true and that her handling of this nations classified material was extremely careless. What do you think of this new development? Will Hillary finally be held accountable? 
1	The Lakers are claiming that burnout and fatigue during their long road swing led to a team roadie accidentally setting the basket at a sub-regulation 8 feet before their game against the Hornets Monday night. 'We didn't even notice right away, but when Kobe jumped up for an alley-oop, hit his thighs on the top of the backboard, and tumbled behind it, we were all like, 'Dammit, Glenn!'' center Andrew Bynum said during a postgame press conference. 'I mean, Glenn's a good guy, we love him, we'd have to do all that stuff ourselves if it wasn't for him and his crew, but how do you miss that?' The Lakers, who lost the game 108-100 due to unusually poor shooting from the field, said they were considering disciplinary action against the roadie, who had reportedly also failed to remove the brown M&Ms from the snack tray in the team's hotel suite. 
3	Getting Organized For Making Things BetterJon David Miller For example, the modern high tech lifestyle is not suited for sudden reversion to primitive circumstances, as could happen with a lengthy shutdown of electrical power. It is anticipated that many of those unprepared for such a shocking change would not survive for very long. I have advocated that people set up a prep cooperative with family, friends and neighbors, starting right away if not already. In addition to personal preparedness for survival, it is important to organize for teaching the issues and acting together to make things better. The more members of the community that are clued in to what is going on, the less stunned they will be and the more prepared they can be, when a more obvious major change occurs. In addition to a stock of food, clothing, blankets and other needed supplies, availability of land, seeds, water resources, equipment, indoor growing facilities, alternative heating and lighting, a special shelter in case of damaging weather or other dangers, and a thorough security plan, would be very helpful for being ready for about anything. The ideal would be to live in a small rural town of friendly compatible neighbors, all well organized and prepared for whatever may come down the pike. Those on nearby farms and other properties are best included in the planning. Beyond what one is able to do alone, preparation in place starts with outreach and education. With others who are concerned, you can form a steering committee to plan an approach to more of the community. Interchanging with existing activist groups who already work on issues such as natural health, vaccinations, fluoride, pollution, fracking, the environment, poverty, etc., would provide the opportunity to meet others who are inclined to take action to improve the world. Among these will be some who are likely to be interested in stopping tyranny, restoring civil liberties, protecting their family from harm and preparing for survival. Dedication to personal improvement and spiritual growth is a valuable quality as well. These folks could be invited to a presentation or seminar, in a home or another venue, about the full scope of the many serious challenges we face. Presenting a compelling message that emphasizes the importance of local involvement can build a momentum that reaches a critical mass of people. Ideas can be shared about organizing for action around such concerns as chemical contamination of air, food and water by chlorination and fluoridation, commercial food additives, atmospheric aerosol geoengineering, and agricultural and industrial pollutants; also electromagnetic frequencies, economic hardship, debt, pharmaceutical dominance of medicine, and other disturbing realities. Those who are willing and able can plan and arrange for making further presentations. It is suggested that people host home meetings of their circle where an informed presenter can discuss the situation in a clear and effective manner. Attendees would be encouraged to get involved, or at least get prepared with their family and some of their friends. Time is of the essence. There is a very real potential for an economic crash, a power outage, an earthquake and/or volcanic eruption, a meteor bombardment, a food availability crisis, a deadly pandemic, a social breakdown, martial law, and/or some other form of life-changing occurrence. We are not sure when or what, but the conditions are developing from which any of these crises could arise. One or more of these scenarios could happen anytime from as soon as now or in the next few weeks to a few years down the road. Being as prepared as possible would reduce stress now and after. Having the whole community aware and prepared would enhance the survivability of all involved. Organizing for ongoing outreach, education and action may awaken and motivate enough people to generate a momentum that brings about significant changes, which hopefully could prevent some of these potential disasters and minimize the damage of what does occur.

1	According to data gathered during the 2010 census, the Honan-Allston branch of the Boston Public Library has a homeless population large enough to justify becoming Massachusetts' 11th congressional district, the U.S. Census Bureau announced Tuesday. 'In addition to the destitute citizens who have long sought shelter here, the ongoing recession has forced hundreds of newly homeless Americans to seek refuge among the library's shelves,' said bureau spokesman Mark Higgs, adding that a shantytown constructed by a Los Angeles overpass had recently been named its own school district. 'The nonfiction section alone is in desperate need of a representative voice in the U.S. Congress.' Though the new district has not yet been certified by the state, several leading candidates have already emerged on a more-toilet-paper-in-the-ladies'-room platform. 
2	Disturbing Audio Tapes Of Child Predator Jared Fogle Have Been Leaked Jared Fogle is a monster. He pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography, and his opinion of his victims has recently been leaked. Dr. Phil plans on playing audio tapes of Fogle yearning for children on his next two episodes. A friend of Fogles discovered his disgusting practice and was instrumental in bringing him down. She secretly recorded him talking about the children. Some of the things he said included, It just felt so good. I mean, it felt, it felt so good. He also said, I had a little boy. It was amazing. Rare This man has a wife and two kids. He is a disgrace to his family, Subway, and all of America. And hes only going away for 5 12 years, too. Do you think Jared Fogle needs to be put in prison for life? Does he need to be castrated? 
3	Researchers Urge a Return to Butter and Whole MilkHeather Callaghan Well, you would be correct. Not only are many doctors trying to bust the fat myths, but new research says the old info that guided health policy and major food system changes all these years just doesnt add up. Researchers are urging a return to butter and whole milk. Check out the new research on saturated fat myths and heart health below. This writer and Weston A. Price support whole food, organic, unpasteurized and grassfed dairy products. Want grassfed butter from the store? Look for Kerrygold butter and cheese. Want to look for a local farm source for fresh milk and other products? Ive mapped over 20 online places to locate yours today. PS The papers and articles about the origin of the saturated-fat-clogs-your-arteries myth are vast. If you want an entertaining expose, I highly recommend the documentary Fat Head. From Weston A. Price FoundationSaturated Fat Phobia Lacks Scientific Basis: Strictures against saturated fat, which have constituted U.S. government policy for over three decades, are deeply embedded in the nations consciousness. Yet a recent medical journal article is questioning the merits of such policies. Federal policy prohibits whole milk and butter in school lunches. It is difficult to find whole milk products in a U.S. airport or butter in a chain restaurant or nursing home. Lawmakers continue to weigh new laws against these alleged bad fats. For example, the Connecticut state legislature is currently reviewing a proposed law to ban whole milk in daycare centers. In contrast, the Weston A. Price Foundation, based on the research of nutrition pioneer Dr. Weston A. Price in the 1930s, has worked to restore foods like butter, eggs, whole milk, lard and coconut oil to their rightful place in the human diet. And, finally, modern research is catching up. Chris Masterjohn, PhD said: If the nutritional and medical establishments had taken the approach of Weston Price and endeavored to unravel the causes of heart disease by studying the diets and lifestyles of populations that were immune to the disease, it is unlikely the diet-heart hypothesis would ever have emerged. Masterjohn, a nutrition scientist, is currently working alongside Dr. Fred Kummerow at the Burnsides Research Laboratory at the University of Illinois; his research focuses on the fat-soluble vitamins and the role of saturated fat in the prevention of heart disease. Dr. Weston A. Price conducted research on the foods of isolated healthy peoples whose diets were rich in animal fats, such as Australian aborigines and the Seminoles of the Florida Everglades. While the latest version of the USDA dietary guidelines states that saturated fats are empty calories, Price found animal fats provide vitamins that are key to human health, such as true vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin K and vitamin E. Dr. Price emphasized the role these fat-soluble vitamins play in increasing nutrient absorption. Because of this, Price dubbed these vitamins activators. These fat-soluble vitamins are also necessary for hormone production, normal growth, neurological function, and protection against chronic disease such as cancer and heart disease. Sally Fallon Morell, president of the Weston A. Price Foundation said: While this new research may lead to suggestions that it is OK to eat butter once in a while, the truth is that we should include foods like butter, whole milk, cheese and egg yolks in our diets every day. These foods are critical for good health, and as Americans have avoided these traditional sources of saturated fat, their health has declined. Consumer education resources on the health benefits of butter, coconut oil and other traditional fats are available on the Weston A. Price Foundation website, The Skinny on Fats.

1	Saying the putrid stench of rancid dairy had caused numerous onlookers to gag and rush out of the barn, sources at Nolls Family Farm confirmed Monday that only a thin stream of curdled, spoiled liquid was emerging from the cow that Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz was attempting to milk during a campaign photo op. As soon as Ted Cruz touched the cow, this yellow, lumpy fluid started oozing out of its udders, said eyewitness Sarah Verdin, adding that the heifer appeared to be perfectly healthy and had been producing fresh white milk just moments earlier when the owner of the farm demonstrated how to handle the teats. The cow was bellowing and stomping the whole time; it was clearly in distress. And the longer he tried milking it, the thicker and chunkier the milk came out. They even brought him a second cow to try and the exact same thing happened. At press time, Cruz was licking his lips after taking a long drink from the bucket of fetid, steaming goop. 
3	Cop Prevents Animal Rescue, Shoots, Threatens ArrestHeather Callaghan When other countries are emulating the exact same actions, thats a sorry sign. A few days ago in Chelsea, Quebec, Greg Searle was driving down a highway and witnessed a fawn hit by a vehicle. He carried it to the roadside. While unable or unwilling to walk with hind legs, there were no signs of injury except a couple of scratches, as you can see from the actual photo above. Searle checked to see if there might be internal injuries and called his wife, Samantha, who has experience with animals and helping with law enforcement she took her young daughter. His intent was to get rescuers since he could tell it would not soon die it could keep living with some attention. The actual driver who hit the fawn was also at the scene and helped make calls for animal help. It sounds like there were other bystanders at the scene. Thats when Officer Roy came to the rescue. He pulled up and without hesitation insisted it was his job to shoot the fawn. The whole Searle family and bystanders pleaded with him it might not be dying and pleaded to be able to take it for medical treatment. Greg had a rescue plan and offered to take care of all of it they had reached some veterinarian help. But to no avail Thats when Samantha got vocal and tried harder to reason while standing over the deer: Officer Roy was adamant repeatedly told her to move aside and repeated that it was his job. This is when he made repeated threats to arrest her, emphasizing that she would have a criminal record several times. The daughter began crying and hugging her fathers legs while Roy called in for backup. He told Samantha this was her final warning. Greg had Samantha take their daughter home so she wouldnt have to witness what happened next, which is where the photo leaves off. Greg has had to put animals out of misery, but couldnt understand the officers haste and inflexibility. Passing back over the scene a few minutes later, Officer Roy followed Greg and pulled over his pick-up truck that had been given to him recently by his father. The plates were one day expired. Greg offered to make other arrangements for driving but again to no avail. The officer confiscated the keys and impounded the truck, now still locked away. Metronews Canada reports: There are people in law enforcement who are called heroes for saving injured animals. You can see stories like that for a change on Real Men Are Kind to Animals. Wouldnt you think Internet heroism would encourage better behavior? A lot of them dont seem to mind being high-profileanimal killers.

The terrorists behind these attacks have just announced that ISIS is behind this attack. This has sent Obama into panic mode. He and his cabinet have determined that this attack is most likely the first of many. The US could be in trouble. Obama refuses to take any action until the situation plays itself out. He says that although the terrorists claim they are ISIS, we dont know that they are for sure. Do you think Obama is a coward and should be impeached? 
2	Obama Swiftly Moves And Bans The Confederate Flag While Everyone Was Focused On The Election According to recent reports, the Department of Veterans Affairs is working to ban prominent displays of the Confederate flag in cemeteries funded by federal tax dollars. Congress had debated and rejected that change, but the Obama administration decided to move forward anyway, saying it was unilaterally imposing the restrictions, the Washington Times reported. The new policy is being pushed by Rep. Jared Huffman, who joined with several other Democrats to put pressure on the VA over the issue. In a letter to the VA this summer, Huffman encouraged the Department to make a decision on the matter. Ronald Walters, who is currently the undersecretary for memorial affairs, responded to Huffmans letter on Friday. We are aware of the concerns of those who wish to see Confederate flags removed from public venues because they are perceived by many as a symbol of racial intolerances, Walters claimed, before confirming the Veterans Affairs Department would be making changes. In particular, we will amend our police to make clear that Confederate flags will not be displayed from any permanently fixed flagpole in a national cemetery at any time. The new policy will go into effect later this year, and will impact all ceremonies receiving federal funding. Private individuals or groups can still put smaller versions of the flag or its image on individual graves, but they can only do so with private funding. While racist individuals and groups continue to embrace the Confederate battle flag, it has never been more clear that this anachronistic symbol of hatred, slavery, and insurrection should not be promoted or gratuitously displayed on federal property, Huffman argued. Thats why I am so grateful that the Department of Veterans Affairs responded to our letter and to public concerns and decided to prohibit the large-scale display of Confederate flags on our national Veterans cemeteries. Of course, the measure was met with outrage from everyone who actually knows the historical significance of the flag.

2	BREAKING: Obama Just Threatened Our Soldiers With THIS According to recent reports, Huffington Post columnist Bill Robinson has just come forward with information that the Obama administration has been threatening men and women throughout the U.S. military with knowledge of the Guantanamo Bay deal to keep the truth from reaching the American public. Robinson claims that he was given the information by a high-level source at the Pentagon, and to build awareness of the fact that there is more behind the Bowe Bergdahl trade than what we have even suspected. The White House, in concert with the State department and Defense Department, was orchestrating a campaign of threats and intimidation 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, the source reports. He was more than just a deserter, he was an out-and-out traitor, Robinson concluded in an interview with Breitbart. Robinsons source claims that Bergdahl did more than just go AWOL, but in fact plotted to join the enemy. He was also responsible for the death of six soldiers who were killed in an attempt to search for him. The results of an investigation into Bergdahl have been kept from the American people. Perhaps this is because the White House is struggling to keep their story straight. What do you think? Do you want to know the truth about the trade? Are you tired of lies from the Obama administration?

3	20 Signs The Epic Drought In The Western United States Is Starting To Become ApocalypticMichael Snyder The state of California is getting ready to ban people from watering their lawns and washing their cars, but if this drought persists we will eventually see far more extreme water conservation measures than that. And the fact that nearly half of all of the produce in America comes out of the state of California means that ultimately this drought is going to deeply affect all of us. Food prices have already been rising at an alarming rate, and the longer this drought goes on the higher they will go. Let us hope and pray that this drought is permanently broken at some point, because otherwise we could very well be entering an era of extreme water rationing, gigantic dust storms and crippling food prices. The following are 20 signs that the epic drought in the western half of the United States is starting to become apocalyptic. #2 The California State Water Resources Control Board says that nearly 50 communities are already on the verge of running out of water. #4 It has been reported that a new social media phenomenon known as drought shaming has begun in California. People are taking videos and photos of their neighbors wasting water and posting them to Facebook and Twitter. #5 Climate scientist Tim Barnett says that the water situation in Las Vegas is as bad as you can imagine, and he believes that unless the city can find a way to get more water from somewhere it will soon be out of business. #6 The water level in Lake Mead has now fallen to the lowest level since 1937, and it continues to drop at a frightening pace. You can see some incredible photos of what has happened to Lake Mead right here. #7 Rob Mrowka of the Center for Biological Diversity believes that the city of Las Vegas is going to be forced to downsize because of the lack of water #8 In some areas of southern Nevada, officials are actually paying people to remove their lawns in a desperate attempt to conserve water. #9 According to Accuweather, more than a decade of drought along the Colorado River has set up an impending Southwest water shortage which could ultimately affect tens of millions of people. #10 Most people dont realize this, but the once mighty Colorado River has become so depleted that it no longer runs all the way to the ocean. #11 Lake Powell is less than half full at this point. #12 It is being projected that the current drought in California will end up costing the state more than 2 billion dollars this year alone. #13 Farmers in California are allowing nearly half a million acres to lie fallow this year due to the extreme lack of water. #14 The lack of produce coming from the state of California will ultimately affect food prices in the entire nation. Just consider the following statistics froma recent Business Insider article #15 As underground aquifers are being relentlessly drained in California, some areas of the San Joaquin Valley are sinking by 11 inches a year. #16 It is being projected that the Kansas wheat harvest will be the worst that we have seen since 1989. #17 The extended drought has created ideal conditions for massive dust storms to form. You can see video of one female reporter bravely reporting from the middle of a massive dust storm in Phoenix right here. #18 Things are so dry in California right now that people are actually starting to steal water. For example, one Mendocino County couple recently had 3,000 gallons of water stolen from them. It was the second time this year that they had been hit. #19 At the moment, close to 80 percent of the state of California is experiencing either extreme or exceptional drought. #20 National Weather Service meteorologist Eric Boldt says that this is the worst drought we probably have seen in our lifetime. Most people just assume that this drought will be temporary, but experts tell us that there have been megadroughts throughout history in the western half of the United States that have lasted for more than 100 years. If we have entered one of those eras, it is going to fundamentally change life in America. And the frightening thing is that much of the rest of the world is dealing with water scarcity issues right now as well. In fact, North America is actually in better shape than much of Africa and Asia. For much more on this, please see my previous article entitled 25 Shocking Facts About The Earths Dwindling Water Resources. Without plenty of fresh water, modern civilization is not possible. And right now, the western United States and much of the rest of the world is starting to come to grips with the fact that we could be facing some very serious water shortages in the years ahead.

1	Calling the attacks on the World Trade Center a missed opportunity for al-Qaeda, 9/11 truther and militant jihadist Fahad al-Mouqrin reportedly expressed his deep disappointment Thursday that the September 11 attacks were in fact not carried out by the terror organization. It would have been perfect if al-Qaeda did deliver such a devastating blow to the American infidels, but unfortunately, it was all planned and executed by the Bush administration to justify the Iraq War, said the militant Islamic fundamentalist and conspiracy theorist, noting that it really kills [him] to think of the widespread carnage and chaos at Ground Zero, knowing deep down that it was not truly the work of his fellow mujahideen. I wish we had destroyed those two buildings in the name of Allah, instead of the controlled demolitions at the base of the World Trade Center that actually caused both towers to collapse. But the whole thing was an inside job by the U.S. government and then covered up by the mainstream American media. Unfortunately. Al-Mouqrin added that he is at least relieved al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is still alive and currently planning imminent attacks on several major U.S. cities. 
3	A JourneymanNot an ApprenticeElectrician Explains Faulty Smart MetersBy Catherine J. Frompovich From 1981 to 2008 Robert Marx of Redford, Michigan, worked as a journeyman electrician. Obviously, he is qualified to discuss electric meters. In the video below, he explains what hes found on an AMI Smart Meter thats been removed from a meter housing/box. Apparently, the removed AMI Smart Meter shows what happens when a Smart Meter is retrofitted on to the former analog meter box and busbars [1] dont line up and cause overheating to occur. AMI Smart Meters are dangerous for many reasons, especially what you will learn in this 10 minute educational video. Robert talks about flickering lights and appliance interruption, which many folks experience since AMI Smart Meters have been forced on homeowners electric services. Consumers may want to save this information in the event you, God forbid, experience a Smart Meter fire and have to fight with your insurance company, the utility company or even your state public utility commission for not providing SAFE replacements meters. One thing Ive learned from researching Smart Meter fires is this: If you experience a house fire started by the retrofitted AMI Smart Meter, do everything in your power to keep that meter as proof, as both utility company personnel and firemen will try to remove it ASAP and destroy the evidence!

Parents from the school spoke out after realizing that their child was told to participate in the controversial activity. I believe that by singing the song, the children feel comfortable that maybe Allah is the only god, Susan Negron told reporters. Im not OK with that. How can we as parents combat against what we dont know is going on? The lyrics to This Is My Fight Song reportedly go as follows: 
1	Their hearts pounding, the worlds leading figures in politics, entertainment, business, and technology reportedly crowded around a sheet of paper tacked to Time managing editor Nancy Gibbs office door Thursday, in hopes of seeing their names on the magazines 100 Most Influential People list. Oh my God, I made it! shrieked Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen before sharing a tearful celebratory hug with actor Matthew McConaughey and Iranian president Hassan Rouhani, both of whom had also made the cut. I just knew that if I gave it my all and kept the federal funds rate near zero, good things would happen. Im still shaking! At press time, an inconsolable Katie Couric was standing off to the side and talking to her mother on the phone. 
3	Why Is Pesticide Used As An Ingredient In Infant Formula?Sayer Ji, Contributor Used to kill fungus, aquatic plants and roots of plants, parasitic infections in aquarium fish and snails, as well as algae and bacteria such as Escherichia coli, cupric sulfate hardly sounds fit for human consumption, much less for infants. Indeed, infants are all too often looked at as miniature adults from the perspective of toxicological risk assessments, rather than what they are: disproportionately (if not exponentially) more susceptible to the adverse effects of environmental exposures. Instead of reducing or altogether eliminating avoidable infant chemical exposures (the precautionary principle), the chemical industry-friendly focus is always on determining an acceptable level of harm as if there were such at thing! It boggles the imagination how cupric sulfate ended up in infant formula, as well as scores of other consumer health products, such as Centrum and One-A-Day vitamins? After all, it is classified, according to the Dangerous Substance Directive (one of the main European Union laws concerning chemical safety), as Harmful (Xn), Irritant (Xi) and Dangerous for the environment (N). Moreover, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that the warning signal DANGER appear on the labels of all copper sulfate end-products containing 99% active ingredient in crystalline form. Potential Acute Health Effects: Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. Potential Chronic Health Effects: CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Mutagenic for mammalian somatic cells. TERATROGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENT TOXICITY: Not available. The substance may be toxic to kidneys, liver. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. In Section 7: Handling and Storage the following precautions must be taken: Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show t he container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from incompatibles such as metals, alkalis. Cleary we have a problem here. Cupric sulfate is used in most mass market infant formulas. Even Similacs sensitive formula contains the ingredient: For additional research on the inherent problems associated with the use of chemicals in infant formula, take a look at our evaluation of another Similac product. Or, take a look at the Organic infant formula by Earths Best:, which is surprisingly not that much better. Related Article This article first appeared at GreenMedInfo.

1	Amidst a blizzard of white, yellow, and pink forms in triplicate, a jubilant crowd of more than 800,000 accountants jammed Times Square Saturday night to ring in the fiscal new year. Accountants celebrating The New Fiscal Year. 'Fiscal Year 200102!' shouted one unidentified CPA, a tie wrapped around his forehead and a paper-bag-covered bottle of caffeine-free Diet Coke in his hand. 'The expense-accrual forms are completed and the statutory salary recovery requests are in. Now it's time to par-tay!' The man then climbed atop a garbage can and wildly waved a copy of a PricewaterhouseCoopers end-of-year report before falling back into the crowd. 'Oh, yeah!' yelled 49-year-old Deloitte & Touche accountant David Gelfand, tearing off his shirt to reveal the phrase 'In The Black' painted on his chest. 'Anyone looking for final approval for payment vouchers subject to post-payment audit can forget it. The Office of Accounting is officially closed for the year! Whoooooo!' Many present for the annual Times Square mayhem wore hats and carried noisemakers, and floating through the air were thousands of balloons emblazoned with the logo of the Big Five accounting firm Ernst & Young, the event's official sponsor. Accountants began to gather as early as noon in anticipation of the official countdown to midnight, April 15. At first, the mood was calm and genial, with accountants discussing tax code and sharing their Fiscal New Year's resolutions with one another. But as day turned to night, the scene changed, with celebrants yelling, climbing onto parked cars, and throwing items from their briefcases, including pocket calculators, spill-proof coffee mugs, and Parker pen sets. By 9 p.m., the size of the roiling throng had forced police to close off Broadway from 34th Street to 57th Street and reroute all vehicular traffic. The Fiscal Ball drops, ushering in the new year. Shortly after 10 p.m., a portion of the crowd began to chant, 'Excel! Excel!' in unison, prompting another group to defend its preferred spreadsheet software with shouts of, 'Lotus 123! Lotus 123!' As the two sides' intensity increased, the impassioned yelling turned to shoving, and police had to escort several accountants out of the crowd. Throughout the evening, the Times Square Jumbotron showed clips of accounting highlights from FY 200001, as well as reflections on the past fiscal year by celebrities such as Gerard Truman, author of The Truman Formula For Estimating Loss Leader Profitability Returns. 'There's no question that 200001 was one incredible fiscal year,' said Truman, his words echoing through Times Square. 'Microsoft released Windows 2000, everyone changed their methods to accommodate the Euro, and Office Max released its biggest catalog ever. But now, after a long, hard year of accounting, it's time to turn off our NQS batch queues and just enjoy ourselves.' One minute before midnight, the traditional countdown began as the three-ton, Tiffany-made Fiscal Ball slowly descended from the sky at One Times Square. 'That Fiscal Ball is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen,' said Peter Timmins, 38, a KPMG budget analyst from Philadelphia. 'Back when I was getting my master's in accounting at Georgetown, we'd all sit glued to the live annual broadcast of John Kenneth Galbraith's Fiscal New Year's Rockin' Eve. And now I'm actually experiencing it in person.' Lou Dobbs, former star of CNN's Moneyline, officially closed the ceremonies, addressing the crowd from atop a giant adding machine shooting reams of number-filled streamers into the crowd below. 'Let us now, for but a moment,' Dobbs said, 'look back fondly on FY 200001the mergers and acquisitions that made it special, the new information systems that came into our lives, the new tax strategies we may have discovered in places we weren't even looking.' Dobbs paused shortly, waiting for the crowd to quiet, before bursting into song. 'Should auld accountants be forgot...' sang Dobbs, lifting his voice as the swaying crowd of accountants linked arms and joined him in song. 'This is so amazing,' said Amanda Lakewood, a tax-code accountant who traveled all the way from Merced, CA, to be part of the Times Square festivities. 'When we're all here together, it doesn't matter if you work in budget analysis, auditing, or management accounting. It doesn't matter if you work for the government, a privately held corporation, or a public accounting firm. When we're together here like this, we're all just accountants, every one of us. Happy Fiscal New Year!' 
2	What Obama Is Getting Malia For Christmas Is Causing Outrage Once again, the Obamas are planning for their annual holiday vacation to Hawaii. This year, the trip is scheduled to last 17 days. Thats more than two weeks of lounging in what is believed will be their Oahu rental home, rather than working in Washington, D.C. And Michelle Obama is already gloating about her ability to sleep in late, at taxpayer expensive. Their six previous trips have cost taxpayers around $4 million, even with the Obamas contributing $56,000 to their own accommodations last year. At least seven other homes for Secret Service and White House staff are paid for by taxpayer dollars. Congress has already approved a $1.1 trillion appropriations bill to fund the government through the end of the fiscal year, meaning that the President has less to worry about on his vacation. I dont really have a long wish list for Christmas, because I pretty much have everything I need, Michelle told the public. I just want everybody to be happy, and I want to sleep in. Thats what I want for Christmas. I want to sleep late. Maybes Ill get that. What do you think of the Obamas lavish vacations? 
3	You Think GMO Is Scary? Nano Tech is Here, In Your StoreAnne Gordon, RN, Contributor Engineering at a molecular level may be a future corporations dream come true, however, nano-particles inside your body have few long-term studies especially when linked to health issues. Despite this new huge income-generating field there is a growing body of toxicological information suggesting thatnanotechnology when consumed can cause brain damage (as shown in largemouth bass), and therefore should undergo a full safety assessment. It is possible for nano-particles to slip through the skin, suggestive of a potential unnatural interaction with the immune system, or when micro particles enter the blood-stream. Some sunscreens on the shelf today, for instance, have nano-particles that might be able to penetrate the skin, move between organs, with unknown health effects. Nano-particles in cosmetics have few regulations done by FDA. Thomas Faunce, of the Australian National University, who holds an Australian Research Council fellowship that looks at public nanotechnology health issues, said studys findings are significant and strengthens the case for mandatory labeling, and that stringent safety data should be required from manufacturers. Research is showing that nano-particles have the capacity to damage living cells and the precautionary principle should be applied, he said. By 2015, (just a few years away) they predict that nanotechnology will be used in 40% of the food industries. According to these consultants, by 2040, nano-produced food, with correct nutritional composition, maintaining the same taste and texture of organically produced food, will be commonplace, the norm. It is clear that nanotechnology is already in the in some food and cosmetics, (including anti aging products and sunscreens). Smart packaging and tracking, is ubiquitous. Invisible, (to the naked eye and some microscopes), edible nano-wrappers, complete with bar codes can track not only early spoilage, but improve the taste of food, or, whatever is called food. Manufacturers are excited because the availability of food would no longer be affected by limited resources, bad crop weather, water problems, etc. A modern way to feed the world. Oh, dont expect an informative label on nano-particles in your products. Although marketers are thrilled to present benefits to make wrinkles vanish, or illuminate skin flawlessly, there are health and unknown downsides. Where is the public debate, on the labeling of nano particles in your foods, or cosmetics, or the risks? Probably no wherePolitical leaders are still arguing on requiring GMO (genetically modified) labeling, it seems. When lab rats are starved, and given a choice to eat organic potatoes or GMO, they go right to the organic. When only given the GMO potato they will eat it, or starve to death (studies have shown severe damage subsequently). What do rats know? So the next time you reach for something that says smartthink about what that means. Learn what you can about the source of what you put in, or on your body.

2	Texas Prepares To Secede From The United States If Hillary Is Elected According to recent reports, Texas may be considering leaving the United States. In a recent poll, statistics show that Donald Trump is leading in the Lone Star State, with 44% of the vote. Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton sits at 38 percent, and the Public Policy Polling (PPP) says that 6 percent will vote for Gary Johnson and two percent are voting for Jill Stein. Less than half a percent polled were for Evan McMullin. Perhaps some of the resistance to accept Hillary in the state stems from the fact that 54 percent of Texans disapprove of President Obamas job performance. Hillary has repeatedly promised to continue pushing his agenda. A Democratic victory in Texas this year remains a stretch, the PPP poll reports. But within the numbers there are signs of Democrats being positioned to become seriously competitive there in the years ahead. The polling company concluded that older voters are overwhelmingly responsible for the Republican advantage in Texas, and generational change is likely to help Democrats become more competitive. Trump voters also reportedly agree with precautionary warnings that the election is rigged. If Clinton wins the races, 71 percent of Texans said it would be because the election was rigged. 40% of Texans overall would feel the same. These claims are not completely unfounded, though they may still be a bit of a stretch. Not long ago, Houston-based True the Vote did discover hundreds of cases of duplicated voter registrations. What do you think of Texas threat? 
1	Saying that the initiative will reduce vehicle traffic, improve local air quality, and foster a strong sense of community, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad announced Tuesday that city transportation authorities across the nation will soon launch SyriaCycles, a new bike-sharing program allowing urban residents to access bicycles for short-term trips without worrying about storage or maintenance. Transportation is a key factor in the quality of life for any urbanite, and SyriaCycles ensures that city-dwellers all over the country can travel conveniently and efficiently; its fast, easy, and fun, Assad said of the new transportation system, explaining that commuters can pay daily or yearly subscription fees to access a fleet of one-size-fits-all bicycles stationed at hundreds of rental hubs across numerous Syrian cities. All you have to do is look for the row of orange-and-gray bicycles, unlock your ride with your unique CitiKey, and youre on your way! And of course, in the interest of safety, we would like to remind all SyriaCycles members to always wear their bike helmets. Assad added that he hopes 2013 in Syria will be remembered as the Year of the Bicycle. 
1	Saying she is now desperately searching for any options that will prevent her from being evicted, Chicago Sky forward and 2015 WNBA MVP Elena Delle Donne was reportedly left scrambling Thursday after her roommate moved out of their apartment without any warning whatsoever. I really dont know what Im going to do, because rent is due in two weeks and theres no way I can cover her $700, said Delle Donne, adding that, with her team commitments and offseason workout schedule, she barely has the time to interview anyone who may respond to the sublet listing she posted on Craigslist. Not only am I out on her rent, but also her half of the internet and electricity bills. I might just have to move to a studio or someplace on the South Side, because theres no way Im asking my parents for money again. At press time, a despondent Delle Donne was reportedly dragging a couple kitchen chairs into the living room to replace the futon that her roommate had taken with her. 
3	UN Bureaucracy Just a Formality Before US Military Attack On SyriaSusanne Posel, Contributor At a conference in Geneva this past weekend, the UN brokered deal for the creation of a transitional national unity government made the illusion to executive powers given to Syria. Russian representatives asserted that Assad should be part of the interim administration. The ultimate transitional government would also oversee the drafting of a new Syrian Constitution and advise the electoral process. The international community, headed by the UN has agreed to devise a scheme to remove Assad from the Syrian government and chose his successor by mutual consent. Several opposition groups in Syria are vying for representatives that might replace Assad. Bassma Kodmani, spokesperson for the SNC states that the agreement is not assertive enough and lacks clear mechanisms for the regime change. Kodmani claims that the use of the UN Security Council (UNSC) during the transition should not be led by Assad. Kodmani, who was a participant in the recent Bilderberg meeting in Chantilly, Virginia, has been pushing for an armed attack on Syria. Clinton, who has blamed Russia for their involvement in the US and UNs efforts to force Assad out of power, says they have finally joined the US in backing the regime change. They have committed to trying, she said. But they also admitted that they may or may not have enough leverage to convince not just one man, but a family and a regime that their time is over. Sergey Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister remarked that Russian will be only glad to support [a Syrian regime change]. In Geneva, UN representative Kofi Annans six-point peace plan was recommended once more for immediate implementation as facilitation for a cease-fire. Annan said that the plan could include members of the current Syrian regime theoretically. Annan said to the audience: I think people who have blood on their hands are hopefully not the only people in Syria. I think the government will have to be formed through discussion, negotiations, and by mutual consent. And I will doubt that the Syrians who have fought so hard for their independence, to be able to say how theyre governed and who governs them will select people with blood on their hands to lead them. War with Syria has begun covertly. Turkey has mobilized large numbers of troops including at least 15 long-range artillery pieces and tanks moved to the Syrian frontier from the eastern city of Diyarbakir. Ron Paul has been forthcoming in saying that the Pentagon indeed has finalized plans to attack Syria. Paul explains that Syria poses no national security concerns to America that require such a foolish escalation of violence in the Middle East. There should be no doubt that our security interests are best served by completely staying out of the internal strife now raging in Syria. CNN affirmed Pauls assertion by reporting that the Pentagon has finalized its assessment of what types of units would be needed, how many troops, and even the cost of certain potential operations. An anonymous member of the Obama administration claims: There is a sense that if the sectarian violence in Syria grows, it could be worse than what we saw in Iraq. Just as with the attack on Libya, the US armed forces will use a no-fly zone, while simultaneously overseeing biological and chemical strategic sites. Central banking controlled nations like the US, Britain and France have discussed the war action against Syria. They have come together in training and sharing of intelligence about what is happening in Syria with neighboring countries including Jordan, Turkey and Israel. Preparatory air strikes against Syria have been planned by the Obama administration. Both the US Navy and Air Force, participating in the no-fly zone with the British and French armed forces have Their mission to knock out Assads central regime and military command centers so as to shake regime stability and restrict Syrian army and air force activity for subduing rebel action and wreaking violence on civilian populations. This use of UN military is without Congressional approval and an affront to the Constitutional guidelines of our American Republic. However, since Obama receives his military orders from the UN and NATO, he must feel justified in his unabashed use of our armed forces. Susanne Posel is the Chief Editor of Occupy Corporatism.

1	According to a new report released Tuesday by the Federal Aviation Administration, Spirit Airlines, the American low-cost air carrier, is the absolute fucking worst and is actually a giant fucking rip-off. The 250-page report, which repeatedly calls the entire airline a goddamn scam, openly questions how in the hell Spirit is still in business if it sucks so fucking bad. In addition, the report confirms that the airplanes suck, the terminals suck, and the seatswhich dont even fucking reclinesuck. Nobody with any shred of dignity should ever fly Spirit Airlines, the report states. The FAA has come to the determination that Spirit Airlines treats its customers like pieces of shit and that everyone should boycott this airline, the report read in part, adding that there are so many hidden fucking fees that it makes customers want to blow their brains out. The airline touts its low fares, but it costs $45 to check your bag at the airport, and if you dont check the bag when you get your ticket, it costs a mandatory $100 at the gate. So the flight could end up costing over $300 anyway. Youve got to be fucking kidding with this bullshit, the report added. According to FAA head Michael Huerta, the investigation was carried out during a single round-trip flight from Chicago to New York, and thats really all the national aviation authority reportedly needed to come to the conclusion that Spirit sucks shit. Calling the terminal a confusing hellhole of overlapping announcements where nobody knows what the hell is going on, Huerta said that the FAA is officially recommending people pay the extra $40 for a ticket on another airline, adding that the extra money is worth not being made to feel like you are getting jerked around at every goddamn turn. Huerta told reporters that of course the air conditioning on his flight didnt work and that the plane was delayed two fucking hours when every other airline was running on time. We found that one of the most patronizing fucking things Spirit does to its customers revolves around this one very small bin near the gate that says Free, Huerta said. Meaning that if your carry-on fits into this particular bin there is no charge to bring it on the plane. It is the opinion of this federal agency that Spirit shouldnt tout that something is free as if they are doing everyone a fucking favor. First, it should be free to carry on a small bag. Second, the Free sign pisses people off even more than they already are after a check-in process that makes zero sense and treats them like fucking cattle. And third, God forbid you try to bring a second small bag on the plane because, you guessed it, thats another $50. The FAA has also come to the conclusion that Spirit employees are fucking idiots, Huerta added. We noted that assumption might not be entirely fair, but we believe that since they know they are working for a company that is hell-bent on fucking people over, well, fuck them too, you know? Huerta said the FAAs report ultimately wont really matter, seeing as the people who run Spirit Airlines could probably give a flying fuck what anyone thinks. 
2	Tim Tebow Ignores Liberal Criticism Again, And Does Something AMAZING [VIDEO] Do you support Tim Tebow? 
1	WASHINGTON, DCMembers of the 104th U.S. Congress were baffled Monday, their imaginations taxed beyond all reasonable limits by a mind-bending M.C. Escher poster. Representatives Charles Bass (R-NH) (left) and Bill Clay (D-MO) stood frozen, mouths agape, for more than three hours Monday in front of an Escher print at the Capitol Building. Congressmen broke from their regular work for several hours to ponder 'Day and Night,' a 1938 work by Escher, the popular Dutch artist (1898-1972) whose oft-seen woodcuts depict varied spacio-geometric paradoxes. 'This is too weird. It would appear the birds heading to the right are actually emerging from the negative space between the birds heading to the left,' Sen. Alfonse D'Amato (R-NY) said. 'And vice-versa.' 'Whoa,' said Sen. Bob Kerrey (D-NE). The poster, a readily available commercial reproduction found in countless gift shops and malls across the nation, was purchased at a D.C.-area Spencer Gifts. According to reports, the legislators discovered the poster hanging in the locker of congressional page Jeffrey Farnham, 22, during a routine scotch-search late Monday afternoon and immediately became baffled. After pondering the picture for several hours, the assembled legislators passed a unanimous vote to order copies of 'Night and Day,' as well as countless other Escher works for display in the U.S. Capitol Building. Though the Senate has been in emergency session ever since Monday's Escher discovery, legislators have reported little if any progress in resolving the confusion. 'Congress has addressed many difficult questions in the past: How do we correct the foreign trade imbalance? How do we decrease spending and reduce the deficit without cutting jobs? What country should we invade?' said Sen. Jim Jeffords (R-VT). 'These Escher prints, however, raise many far more vexing questions: How do those fish and birds manage to turn into each other? How could the stairs be going up and down at the same time? We have our work cut out for us on this one.' Among the Escher works that have proven most baffling is the lithograph 'Reptiles,' in which small lizards crawl out of a two-dimensional drawing, then back into it again. 'It is clear that the artist has created a potentially infinite universe that is both two-dimensional and three-dimensional at the same time.' Rep. Richard Neal (D-MA) said. 'But beyond this, we know very little at this time. To be honest, just thinking about it totally messes with my head.' Thus far, Congress has had little success unraveling the disorienting prints, as legislators have only been able to convene for 15 minutes at a time, requiring constant breaks to recover from Escher-induced headaches. Measures have been enacted, however, to ensure resolution of the dilemma. 'Despite our inability to figure out these odd drawings, Congress is committed to getting to the bottom of this,' Jeffords said. 'We have established a 20-member fact-finding committee to determine whether the guy is drawing the hand, or the hand is drawing the guy, or what the hell.' 'These are questions the American people want answered,' said Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD). 'Are these wormy-looking things rolling backwards or forwards? Am I under the window looking up, or what? We will get to the bottom of these matters, I assure you.' The most vociferous anti-Escher member of Congress has been still-alive Sen. Jesse Helms (R-NC). 'If this picture is taken at face value, it would appear that Mr. Escher expects us to believe that the monks are ascending an infinite series of staircases while trapped within a limited spatial structure. Well, that's just malarkey,' Helms said. 'Is this the kind of confusing art on which we're spending hard-earned tax dollars? I think not.' 
2	Obama Faces Impeachment Before Election After Massive Secret Leaks The Clinton campaign was hit hard last week when the FBI announced they would be reopening their investigation into Hillary Clintons use of a personal email server as Secretary of State. Now, WikiLeaks has just revealed new information that ties this scandal directly to Barack Obama. According to reports, WikiLeaks revealed that Obamas White House not only had knowledge of Clintons private email server, but they also helped cover it up. Hacked emails from Clintons campaign chairman, John Podesta, make it abundantly clear that officials were aware that Obama and Clinton were exchanging emails through a private server. Of course, Obama has denied any involvement from the beginning, arguing that he only learned of the servers existence when the media broke the story. I find it odd the NYT didnt actually quote the President saying whats in their headline, Phillippe Reines commented in an email from March 8, referencing the article Obama Says He Didnt Know Hillary Clinton Was Using Private Email Address. Especially since the story has a disbelieving tone to his not noticing, Reines continued. One of us should connect with the WH just so they know that the email will show his statement to not make sense. Reines then talked about whom to contact about the matter. Im happy to do so to Josh Earnest since Jen is in a weird position, unless Cheryl or John you want to (or already have) with someone else, the email continued. But its not unreasonable to assume that Josh is going to get asked how this was possible, and he should have the fact-set. Especially if its some weird technical thing with the Presidents email setup that he doesnt see addresses. Jennifer Palmieri, Director of Communications for the Clinton presidential campaign, also weighed in on the matter. Suggest Phillippe talk to Josh or Eric, she wrote. They know POTUS and HRC emailed. Josh has been asked about that. Standard practice is not to confirm anything about his email, so his answer to press was that he would not comment/confirm. I recollect that Josh was also asked if POTUS ever noticed her personal email account and he said something like POTUS likely had better things to do than focus on his Cabinets email addresses. What do you think of this information? Could Obama be in serious trouble for his oversight or attempting to deceive the American public?

Today we come together with a single voice, hoping to reach you with one very simple message: For the love of God, please stop firing your guns at us, a statement from the sane read in part. We dont care if youre a 22-year-old male with a history of psychological illness, a severely unhinged graduate student who fell through the cracks of our mental health care system, or an embittered middle-aged man convinced that religious minorities are threatening the fabric of America. All we ask is that you cease charging into rooms full of innocent people and raining down bullets on everyone in sight.

2	BREAKING: Trey Gowdy Makes THIS Major Move To Get Hillary Thrown In Jail According to recent reports, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is officially set to appear before the House Select Committee regarding Benghazi. Clinton first raised eyebrows when she was asked a question about the administrations initial description of the attack, to which she curtly responded, What difference, at this point, does it make? Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy has since been on a mission to reveal the truth behind the incident, and recently released a memo stated that both Republicans and Democrats are interested in hearing what Clinton has to say now. Since being formed, the Committee has uncovered 15,000 pages of Benghazi documents never released to Congress (and) interviewed State Department personnel on the ground in Benghazi who have never been interviewed, Gowdy told reporters. In addition, the committee has put 20 senior administration officials, including key figures who have never been questioned by Congress, on notice for witness interviews and public hearings. While Gowdy admits that the next few months are vague, he notes that the Committee issued a subpoena to the State Department for ARB documents that have never before been reviewed by Congress and confirmed that the Committee will receive testimony from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the next few months. What do you think? Are you ready to hear the truth about Benghazi? 
3	Israel Threatens RussiaStephen Lendman Its heading perhaps toward greater intervention. It warned Russia about supplying Syria with sophisticated defensive anti-aircraft missiles. It said Israel will react in response. More on that below. A previous article discussed Russian S-300 launch systems and other defensive missile sales to Syria. Vladimir Putin said existing contracts will be honored. Netanyahu tried to dissuade him. They met face-to-face. Perhaps Israels early May aggression convinced him theyre urgently needed. A May 26 London Sunday Times article suggested otherwise. It headlined Putin axes Syria missile deal to aid Israel. Israeli media highlighted the report. It claimed Putin agreed to halt S-300 sales in return for Israel pledging no more Syrian strikes. Israeli officials denied the report. They told Israeli radio that Russia intends to fulfill its commitment. Theyre unclear on timing or whether shipments already arrived. On May 27, Russia Today quoted Syrias Russian ambassador. Riyad Haddad told Interfax that agreements between both countries are being implemented without any changes. He referred to S-300s. On May 28, Lebanons Al-Manar televisions web site headlined Moscow Insists S-300 Prevents Intervention in Syria, Zionists Warn. (S)upplying Syria with the air defense systems S-300 maintains stability and prevents the intervention of the foreign forces in the Syrian crisis. Both countries contactually agreed to do so. Deal terms were finalized five years ago. These rockets cannot be used by the militants in the battlefield, Ryabkhov explained. In response, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon warned that if Russia delivers the(se) air defense systems to Syria, we know how to act. He called supplying them a threat as far as were concerned. He believes they havent been shipped. He hopes they wont be. If they do arrive in Syria, God forbid, he said, well know what to do. Saying so implies more air strikes or other type intervention. It suggests escalating Syrias conflict further. Days earlier, Israeli General Amir Eshel said S-300s were shipped. Assad invested millions in purchasing anti-aircraft missiles such as SA-24, SA-22, SA-17, and the S-300 that is on its way. Israel, Washington, and key NATO partners want Syria deprived of weapons, munitions, and defensive missiles. Theyre needed to counter Western-initiated aggression. At the same time, Washington and key NATO partners want increased supplies sent to their proxy foot soldiers. Theyre terrorists. Theyre US-enlisted death squads. They massacre noncombatant civilians. Their atrocities are well known. Washington offers full support. On the one hand, John Kerry and other US officials urge diplomatic conflict resolution. At the same time, they support greater escalation than already. Double standard duplicity defines Washingtons agenda. It prioritizes war. It deplores peace. It wants Assad ousted. Expect whatever it takes to do so. Whether its possible remains to be seen. Most Syrians want no part of Washingtons agenda. They value their sovereign rights. They want no outside dominance. Theyre willing to fight to prevent it. On May 28, acting deputy State Departmentspokesman Patrick Ventrell praised EU nations willingness to escalate conflict in Syria. Theyll do so by supplying anti-Assad elements more arms than already. Lifting the so-called embargo doesnt wash. Since conflict began in early 2011, arms flowed freely. America, key NATO partners, and regional allies are directly involved. Expect increased weapons and munitions supplies sent. Perhaps more lethal ones are planned. Ventrell said doing so give EU states more flexibility. Theyll be able to accelerate (their) assistance to the opposition. He stopped short of explaining Washingtons direct involvement. Its orchestrating whats going on. At the same time, Ventrell condemn(ed) the continue supply of Russian weapons to (Syria), and this includes all class of weapons, and weve been clear throughout and very direct with the Russian government about that. In other words, do what we say, not what we do. Washington operates that way. He continued with a litany of lies. He accused Assad of massacring his people. He claimed US-enlisted death squads are defending themselves. He and other US officials repeat these claims ad nauseam. Theyre directly involved in recruiting, funding, arming, training and directing foreign fighters. The more vicious and ruthless the better. Al Qaeda and its affiliate Al Nusra are key. Theyre recruited and sent to Syria. They reflect Washingtons death squad strategy. Its longstanding. Terrorists are US-enlisted foot soldiers. Theyre committing monstrous atrocities. Theyre waging lawless aggression. Theyre trained to do so. Theyre targeting a nonbelligerent country. At the same time, Ventrell condemned increased Hezbollah activity in Syria. Theyre defending Syrian sovereignty. He called their involvement destabilizing. He duplicitously said Washington wants diplomatic conflict resolution. He and other US officials want Syrians to have no say. He and White House spokesman Jay Carney defended John McCains meeting with anti-Assad terrorist leaders. He did so inside Syria. He crossed the border lawlessly. He met with Lebanese pilgrim kidnappers. They committed numerous other crimes. He praised them. He twittered: Important visit with brave fighters in Syria who are risking their lives for freedom and need our help. Assad must go remains US policy. No nation may interfere in the internal affairs of others. Its standard US practice. Doing so violates international law. Waging aggressive war does so flagrantly. Ventrell calls it work(ing) toward a new, free Syria. Perhaps he has one like Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya in mind. Theyve been ravaged and destroyed. Conflicts continue. Violence is widespread. Human suffering and misery are appalling. America bears full responsibility. Imperial priorities matter most. Syrians understand. Theyre in the eye of the storm. Expect much worse ahead. Reports said Obama ordered the Pentagon to prepare no-fly zone plans. No Security Council authorization permits one. It has sole authority to do so. Unilateral action is lawless. Implementing one declares full-scale war. US-led NATO would enforce it. Doing so means Libya 2.0. An unnamed administration official said: The White House is still in contemplation mode, but the planning is moving forward and its more advanced than its ever been. Perhaps direct US-led NATO intervention looms. Israel borders on Syria. Its already involved. It may participate more directly and/or covertly. Its a de facto NATO partner. Escalating its actions may be planned. Its too early to know for sure. Stepped up US-aggression looks likely. Perhaps itll follow Geneva II. Its weeks away. Washingtons conflict resolution strategy is full-scale war. Waging it could come any time.

Now, the pair managed to enrage the liberal population just againand all it took was a Facebook photo. The duo caused quite the stir when he posted a picture of a pink camo AR-15, which allegedly was a gift to the Alaska governor by Ted Nugent. The caption under the photo read: The Great Sarah Palin was given this DPMS AR15 as gratitude for her 2nd Amendment absolutism. Godspeed Sarah Palin. Godspeed freedom lovers everywhere. The photo got over 180,000 likes almost instantaneously it. Ill take Sarah and a gun any day over Hillary and her pant suits, one user commented. Another user suggested that Nugent run for president and Palin run for VP. Meanwhile, liberals around the country were fuming. What do you think of the post? Do you support Nugent and Palin? 
1	In what legislators are hailing as a major step toward breaking the cycle of urban poverty, Congress allocated $1.4 billion Monday for programs aimed at developing inner-city youths' dribbling and rhyming skills. U.S. Rep. John Warner (D-CA) urges members of Congress to 'make the development of urban youths' ball-handling and mic skills a top priority.' 'With the passage of this bill, Congress has sent the message, loud and clear, that it is committed to investing in our nation's inner-city youths,' Sen. Lauch Faircloth (R-NC) said. 'Whether on the mic or on the court, to succeed in the next century these youngsters are going to need top-notch skills. Without them, they don't stand a chance.' Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH), the bill's co-sponsor, agreed. 'When you're out in the marketplace, a potential employer like the Charlotte Hornets or Bad Boy Records is going to want to know what you can bring to them,' Gregg said. 'And without at least three good moves to the basket and a decent fadeaway jumper, or some unstoppable freestyle skills and mad lyrical flow, you're not even going to get a foot in the door.' 'No employer wants to hire a bricklayer or wack MC,' he added. A majority of the $1.4 billion will go toward the construction and staffing of job-training centers across the U.S., where inner-city youths can acquire the tools necessary to compete in today's fiercely competitive marketplace. 'As the number of applicants for those 340 NBA roster spots and 60 major-label rap contracts continues to increase each year, so does the level of competition,' Gregg said. 'That's why it's so crucial that these kids have solid crossover dribbles, turntable technique, and other building blocks for success. According to Gregg, while the funding is aimed at inner-city youths, everyone stands to benefit from it. 'When our nation's rap-and-basketball base thrives, we are all better off,' he said. 'By investing in the future Anfernee Hardaways and Ol' Dirty Bastards today, we guarantee that all Americans are well-entertained tomorrow.' 
3	Woman gets $250,000 settlement after being thrown to the ground, hogtied by police while pregnantMadison Ruppert, Contributor This type of behavior, while indeed disgusting, is far from surprising given that police hogtying women isnt all that rare and a woman died of suffocation last year in the back of a Los Angeles Police Department patrol car after being kicked in the genitals and forced into the vehicle. In this case, it seems that the dashboard camera is what ultimately held the officers accountable, just as a similar camera did in the case of a 66-year-old man who was beaten for no apparent reason. The incident occurred in August of 2011 and resulted in charges of evading and resisting arrest and driving with a suspended license, all of which were dropped after a judge saw video footage of the incident captured from a dashboard camera of a CHP cruiser. 30-year-old Gaglione was pushed face-first into the asphalt after an officer swept her legs with a kick. Another officer used his knee to pin her to the ground, all while she was 2-months pregnant. Howard Price, Gagliones attorney, told the Huffington Post that Gaglione could hear officers talking about the video of the encounter on the way to the station. Yet when Price requested the video in order to present it as evidence in Gagliones criminal trial, he was told no footage of the incident existed. Eventually, the prosecutor finally handed over the footage from the dashboard camera of a backup officer, although that footage showed nothing. Once Price was told the footage did in fact exist, he was told that no one could transfer the video to another medium. Price was then forced to go to the CHP station himself in order to record the footage for posterity. The video Price took of the original CHP footage being played was then uploaded to YouTube and can be seen below. The conduct here is outrageous. What these officers did here was bewildering to me. They knew she was pregnant, Price told the Los Angeles Times. She never resisted arrest. After first stopping on the right shoulder, she was ordered to not stop there, to go forward and get off freeway [sic], Price explains on his website. Because of rush hour traffic noise, she did not hear clearly what she was directed to do. According to the Los Angeles Times, the officers ordered her to toss her car keys out of her window, exit her vehicle and put her hands on the car. Instead, Gaglione simply stands outside of her vehicle staring at the CHP officers, appearing confused, as the Los Angeles Times puts it. When the officers are yelling, Turn around, it appears that Gaglione says something, although it is inaudible. In the official report, the CHP officers claimed that she appeared to raise her arms in a menacing manner, although it is quite hard to detect if there are any menacing arm movements from the footage. The officers then approach Gaglione with their guns drawn, sweep her legs with a kick and push her face-first into the ground. Another officer pins Gaglione to the ground with a knee in her back, although Price contends that it was actually placed on her neck. At another point, it appears the woman is kicked in her left ribs, the Los Angeles Times notes. Eventually she is hogtied and placed in a squad car. Id never seen a gun for real before, Gaglione said. I just froze. I was scared theyd shoot me. While Gaglione maintains that she told the officers she was pregnant when they first approached her, one of the officers, Officer Daniel Hernandez, said that she did not mention that she was pregnant until she was on the ground. In Hernandezs report, he said that he kneed Gaglione in an effort to distract her so that Officer Roberto Martinez, his partner, could handcuff her. The officers wrote in their report that the incident escalated because Gaglione ignored their orders and appeared to raise her arms in an aggressive manner after hopping out of the van, according to the Los Angeles Times. Gaglione later sued both the CHP, the sergeant and five officers involved in the incident, alleging that her civil rights had been violated and that she had been subjected to excessive force and malicious prosecution, according to the Los Angeles Times. While CHP officials would not discuss the incident itself, they said that both sides concluded that the $250,000 settlement was in everyones best interest. The CHP conducted a review of the tactics and, as necessary, took appropriate action, stated Fran Clader, department spokeswoman. Both of the officers involved in the incident with Gaglione remain CHP officers. After the misdemeanor charges were dropped, Gaglione pleaded no contest to the infraction for using a cellphone while driving. I will always be scared of police officers because of these knuckleheads, Gaglione said. Did I forget anything or miss any errors? Would you like to make me aware of a story or subject to cover?

2	America Just Found Out What Malia Obama Does Every Day, And Theyre Furious Lately there has been an uprising of American children speaking out on Twitter about the food that they are being served under Michelle Obamas new plans. Meanwhile, Malia and Sasha are busy dining gourmet food daily at their private school, where tuition costs $36,264 for food. And while most of us arent willing to pay that priceit doesnt mean that our children should be served food that isnt fit for a prisoner. According to reports, part of the price tag for the Sidwell Friends School includes a hot daily lunch. In fact, just this week students at the school consumed the following meal: Potato Sausage Soup; Firecracker Slaw; California Chefs Salad; All Natural Jamaican Jerk Chicken Wings, Sweet Potato Black Bean Bake; Sauteed Local Greens; Gemelli Alfredo; and Sliced Pineapple. We cant even imagine. If you want to see what typical American students are eating, just go to #ThanksMichelleObama on Twitter. 
1	In an effort to jump-start a presidential campaign that still has not broken into the top Democratic tier, former Sen. John Edwards made his most ambitious policy announcement yet at a campaign event in Iowa Monday: a promise to eliminate all unpleasant, disagreeable, or otherwise bad things from all aspects of American life by the end of his second year in office. In Iowa, Edwards speaks with conviction about his lifelong distaste for bad things. 'Many bad things are not just badthey're terrible,' said a beaming Edwards, whose 'Only the Good Things' proposal builds upon previous efforts to end poverty, outlaw startlingly loud noises, and offer tax breaks to those who smile frequently. 'Other candidates have plans that would reduce some of the bad things, but I want all of them gone completely.' According to Edwards, his plan is composed of three steps. Everyday bad things, such as curse words and splinters, would be eradicated during his first six months in office. Next, very bad things, including child abduction, soil erosion, and resurgent diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis, would be ended by the the end of 2009. Finally, extremely bad thingsplights such as genocide, species extinction, and virtually every form of cancerwould take a full two years to wipe out. 'Racism will soon be a thing of the past,' Edwards said. 'Same goes for being picked last for playground athletics, AIDS, robbery, not having enough spending money, and murder. Because these things are bad and not good, I promise they will be eliminated.' Other bad things the 2004 vice-presidential nominee vowed to end include the housing crisis, skinned knees, frowns, steep staircases, jailbreaks, water that is too cold to swim in, pain, traffic, being tired in the morning, sprained ankles, hunger, not having enough energy at night, teen pregnancy, cases of the blahs, thunder, the high cost of admission to events, type 2 diabetes, games of tic-tac-toe with no clear winner, the lack of parking in urban areas, forgetting birthdays, child prostitution, and confusion. 'Imagine a world free of procrastination, class disparity, and itchiness,' Edwards said. 'It will only be possible if we try.' Edwards told the gathered audience that the second half of his presidential term would be devoted to a $125 billion effort to supplant the abolished bad things with good things, such as flowers, the laughter of children, butterflies, sunny days, financial stability, Skittles, and medicine. Though some Democrats are applauding the positivity of Edwards' pro-good agenda, critics say that the wealthy former trial lawyer is, at best, paying lip service to the issue. 'This is certainly a step in the right direction, but it's not enough,' Daily Kos contributor BitchingPoints wrote hours after Edwards' announcement. 'Where in Mr. Edwards' list of bad things does it mention poisonous snakes, nasty red wine stains on rugs, trolls, and noisy neighbors? Edwards has left the door wide open for a rival candidate to outflank him on his own issue by introducing a comprehensive plan that fills these gaping holes.' Republican front-runner Rudolph Giuliani attacked Edwards Tuesday for labeling things as bad when they may actually turn out to be good in the long run. 'Is 'shooting' always a bad thing?' Giuliani said. 'I think such a position would undercut not only our soldiers in Iraq, but also law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line every day, not to mention our basic Second Amendment rights.' Added Giuliani: 'On a personal note, I rather like cloudy days, and I don't want to live in a world where they don't exist.' 
2	Texas Vigilantes Strap Up, Plan To Defend Our Country Against Muslim Jihadists President Obama has repeatedly ignored the immediate danger of Islamic extremism in this country. He has refused to associate ISIS with the religion at all. Now, a group of armed Texans are taking matters into their own hands, claiming that they arent going to sit back and wait for total jihad to happen in America. A group in Dallas, Texas has armed up for fear of a Muslim uprising, especially with the escalation of violence against Muslims throughout the country. AJ+, a liberal media group, recently released a mini documentary about the vigilantes on YouTube. Watch it below and tell us what you think. Do you support these men or are they taking things too far? Do we need a president who isnt afraid to take action? 
3	Another Big-Screen Movie Just Released Investigates Vaccines for Autism ImplicationsBy Catherine J. Frompovich Kudos go to the producer, filmmaker Natalie Beers, and other production crew members for taking on such an overwhelming project, which took two years to complete. Congratulations and thanks for having the fortitude to work on a much-needed investigation of vaccines, vaccinations and environmental issues relative to ever-increasing autism, also must be given to Lothar Moll, Executive Producer; Lucy Martens, Director of Photography; Simon Modery, Editor; and David Hason, Music Composer. According to the movies webpage: The film explores the common misconception that autism is solely genetic and looks into scientists concerns over recent years about environmental factors such as medication and pesticides which continue to leave our children with physical and neurological damage. [1] Ask your local movie theater to show Man Made Epidemic on their movie screens as soon as possible, since it will be an excellent cinematic companion to VAXXED thereby putting much needed pressure on the U.S. HHS, CDC, FDA, the World Health Organization, and others who indiscriminately push vaccines based upon fraudulent, consensus vaccine pseudoscience! Fraudulent is not to be used lightly, as there are various incidences that have exposed fraud: Probably NOTHING explains more why there should be an investigation into vaccines and vaccinology science than the candid remarks made by the father of American vaccines, Dr Maurice Hilleman, MD, the Merck Company head vaccine maker for years, discussing on video the very real problems with vaccines, their growth mediumsanimals and their tissues, cancer viruses, etc. However, now we have to factor in, since Hillemans time, newly-added neurotoxic chemicals and nanoparticles [3]. See Dr Hillemans nonchalant disclosure, plus how cavalierly colleagues treated the information, to realize why you really have to question vaccine ingredients. Personally, I cant wait to see the movie Man Made Epidemic and to review it. See you at the movies!

2	Ben Carson Refuses To Back Down: The President Should Be Sworn In On A Stack Of Bibles, Not A Koran [VIDEO] According to recent reports, Dr. Ben Carson has refused to give in to pressures and has actually defended his views that Muslims should not be put in charge of this nation. Dr. Carson also claimed that the president of the United States should be sworn in on a stack of Bibles, not a Koran. During an interview with NBC, Carson was asked by host Chuck Todd whether he believes Islam is consistent with the Constitution. No I do not, the presidential hopeful concluded. I do not. I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that. Of course, CAIR immediately targeted Carson for his comments. What do you think? Do you support Carson and applaud him for his honesty? 
2	FBI Cracks Down After Obama Tries To Interfere With Hillary Investigation The FBI and DOJ have been investigating Hillary Clinton for the most recent email scandal she has gotten herself into. When the Obama administration overstepped their boundaries, thats when the FBI cracked down on them. Josh Earnest, the White House Press Secretary, began talking to officials about details of the investigation. But guess what. Josh Earnest doesnt even have the clearance to look into the investigation. This is especially disturbing after seeing he told reporters that Hillary Clinton was not even a target of the investigation. Catherine Herridge said, That statement by Josh Earnest has got the back up of our contacts at the FBI and Justice Department for two reasons They are SUPER PISSED OFF to use a technical term. Number one, Josh Earnest has absolutely no clearance or visibility in the FBI investigation. Number two, they say it really seems part of a troubling pattern from the White House because the president earlier said he did not see any national security implications to the Clinton emails and then we found out he had never been briefed. Obama needs to mind his own business. Although its true that Hillary will likely not be punished for the crimes she committed, it is just as likely that these scandals will be the icing on the cake that loses her this election. Do you think Hillary is guilty? 
2	Trump Eviscerates Obama For Releasing 7 Prisoners Through Negotiations With Foreign Enemy Obama agreed to release 7 Iranian prisoners in the negotiations to bring 5 Americans home. While we are happy for these Americans to come home, we tend to agree with Trumps dissatisfaction on this one. In exchange for U.S. citizens Jason Rezaian, pastor Saeed Abedini, veteran Amir Hekmati and Nosratollah Khosrawi, Obama pardoned the Iranian prisoners. Obama has also promised to stop the search of 14 Iranians that are wanted for crimes. Our citizens have not yet been flown out of Iran, and we do not want to do anything that would complicate it, said a U.S. official. We agree that getting our citizens back is very important, but it seems like Obama is flat out terrible at negotiating. Trump said it best. Essentially they get $150 billion plus seven and we get four, doesnt sound too good, Trump said. But we have to see because I just heard about this an hour ago and Im happy they are coming back but I will tell you its a disgrace that theyve been there for so long, its a disgrace remember that. A total disgrace. We thank God that these Americans are safe. Pray they make it back unharmed. Do you agree with Trump that Obama negotiated poorly? 
1	Sources confirmed that in response to Mitt Romney's announcement of Paul Ryan as his vice presidential running mate, your Republican friend will soon explain to you that while the Wisconsin representative may appear to be a risky pick, he actually brings more to the ticket than you'd think. 'If you stop for a second to consider his experience defending his 'Path to Prosperity' budget in Congress, the fact that he hails from a swing state, and his keen political instincts, Paul Ryan makes perfect sense,' your Republican friend will reportedly tell you this week, making sure to reference his earlier Facebook post observing that Ryan's latest Medicare proposal is co-sponsored by a Senate Democrat. 'Combine that with his youthful energy and record of demolishing every opponent he's ever faced, and youve got a pretty strong ticket.' The detailed explanation is expected to be a marked departure from 2008, when, following the selection of Sarah Palin, your Republican friend remained completely silent. 
2	General Motors Takes THIS Huge Stand For Kid Rock Over the past week or so, Southern rocker Kid Rock has become a target for liberal backlash for his support of the confederate flag. When he was first confronted, Kid Rock told his critics to kiss his a**. Now, liberals have been calling for a massive boycott of Kid Rock, including demanding that businesses refuse to work with him. General Motors, who is sponsoring Kid Rocks summer tour this year, is standing behind the rocker, however. Their controversial decision will surely have consequences, but we applaud them for standing behind Kid Rock. What do you think of their decision?

2	Two Men Laugh Disrespectfully At Memorial, Soldier Puts Them In Their Place [VIDEO] Is it just us, or does it appear that common sense just isnt common anymore? It would seem blatantly clear that when attending a military memorial, there are certain things that are appropriate and certain behaviors that are not. For instance, you probably shouldnt talk or laugh during the ceremony. Seems pretty simple, right? Unfortunately, two men attending a service didnt get that memo. A recent video shows the pair being reprimanded by the guard on duty. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
2	Muslim Woman Kicked Off Southwest For Saying THIS Unthinkable Phrase According to recent reports, a Muslim woman was recently kicked off of a flight on Southwest Airlines after a flight attendant reported hearing her say its a go into her cell phone. Now, the woman is suing the airline, claiming that she just said Ive got to go as the plane was preparing for take off. According to the suit, Irum Abbassi claims that Southwest Airlines employees broke the law when they removed her from a flight from San Diego to San Jose. Abbassi claims she was readily identifiable as Muslim by what she wore: a long shirt, pants, sweater, and hijab, or and Islamic headscarf. She was reportedly talking with a Verizon representative in order to activate her smart phone, but when the flight started to take off, she told the employee that she had to go. According to Abbassis complaint, once at the jetway, the TSA agent explained to her that the flight attendant believed she had been acting suspiciously. Ultimately, the TSA agent determined that Abbassi was not a security risk, and claimed that she could re-board the plane. Still, the captain made the decision not to let her on board because the crew was still uncomfortable. What do you think of the incident? 
2	BREAKING: Six Arrested After Disturbing Joel Osteen Church Service According to recent reports, six hecklers were arrested at a Sunday service at Joel Osteens Lakewood Church after they interrupted with screams. And the moment he started to preach, somebody gets up and they yell, Joel Osteen youre a liar, Sportswriter Anwar Richardson, who was in the audience, told reporters. Richardson admits that the incident stirred quite a bit of fear, given the recent massacre in Charleston. After the sixth time that it occurred, my son was sleeping in my lap, and I looked at my wife and she was nervous and we just decided we have to get out of here, Richardson noted. All I could think of is you dont know whats going on, and I just cant wait to find out, so I gotta get out of there. Osteen maintained his composure, and thanked the audience for their patience. Later, it was revealed that the six hecklers had come from The Church of Wells, a rival church of Lakewood. Since the event occurred, all members involved have been charged with criminal trespass. 
2	What Morgan Freeman Just Said About Cops Will Have You OUTRAGED According to recent reports, liberal Morgan Freeman has come under fire after speaking out against police officers in support of Freddie Gray. Freeman reportedly supports the protests in Baltimore, claiming that technology is helping to bring to light how dangerous police are. I was watching the news last night, Freeman told reporters at Newsweek. and [a protester] said, You know, when we were out here marching peacefully, nobody was here. And now we start burning the place down, everybody is listening. What do you think were gonna do to be heard? Freeman continued on to call the actions of the police terrorism. The unrest [in Baltimore] has nothing to do with terrorism at all, except the terrorism we suffer from the police, he continued. And the fact that now thats out in the open. He went on to discuss the case of Guinea immigrant Amadou Diallo, who was killed by four New York city officers in 1999 after that mistook his wallet for a gun. That was beginning of our understanding of how dangerous police are, he concluded. What do you think of Freemans comments? 
2	Michelle Obama Whines Like A Little Baby About Trump, Because She Cant... [VIDEO] Michelle Obama will finally be out of the White House in just over a month, but thats not stopping her from disrespecting Donald Trump while she is still in the media spotlight. Last week, Michelle appeared on Oprahs show, where she was asked if the Obama administration achieved its promise of hope of America. Michelle expressed that she does believe it hasas evidenced by the lack of hope America allegedly feels with Donald Trump as our President-elect. Yes. I do. Because we feel the difference now, Michelle commented. See, now, we are feeling what not having hope feels like. You know. 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, what else do you have when you dont have hope? Michelle asked, before comparing Americans to toddlers, saying Obama was a calm voice for them to hear when they bumped their head. I feel like Barack has been that for the nation, in ways that people will come to appreciate, she continued. Having a grownup in the White House who can say to you in times of crisis and turmoil, Hey, its going to be OK. Michelle couldnt get any more condescending if she tried. What do you think? Are her comments absolutely disgusting?

1	Citing squalid conditions 'unfit for human habitation,' the New York City Department of Health confirmed Tuesday that the United Nations had been evicted from its Manhattan headquarters for numerous safety code violations, including harboring more than 250 feral cats. 'After entering the U.N. headquarters early Tuesday morning, we quickly determined that the property was unlivable by any reasonable sanitary standard,' said city health official George Garcia, whose team inspected the dilapidated building following complaints from neighbors of an overwhelming foul odor and the constant noise of mewling cats. 'The fecal ammonia content in the air was approaching toxic levels, and the staggering volume of cat excrement in the Security Council Chamber alone suggests the occupants had been housing these animals for over a decade.' City health officials say neighboring residents have asked them to do something about the run-down U.N. building for years. 'They'd blacked out all the windows with world flags, too, so I don't think they'd seen much natural light in a while,' Garcia added. Reports filed by the Health Department revealed that the building's corridors posed a significant fire hazard, having been cluttered with thousands of empty cat food tins, old telephone books, and piles of yellowing nuclear-disarmament resolutions dating back to the 1950s, all of which were heavily soiled with cat dander and urine. City officials were also struggling to find shelters for dozens of filth-covered diplomats, many of whom could barely speak a word of English but appeared to have spent years amid the squalor. 'The delegations from all 192 nations had apparently been sleeping on a bunch of dirty mattresses strewn across the trash-covered atrium floor,' social services worker Leah Immelman said. 'It seems they'd been delivering emergency food rations to themselves for years, so there was really no need for them to ever leave the premises.' Though the building's electricity had been shut off last November, authorities discovered an extension cord running across the length of the property to the nearby Ford Foundation, from which U.N. officials were able to steal electricity to power several lamps, a single space heater, and a satellite uplink to Darfur. Sources also confirmed reports that a morbidly obese Greek ambassador, who had been confined to his reclining chair since the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire vote of 2006, was removed from the premises by cutting a hole in the second story wall of his office. Property owner Sal Fantuzzo said he had long questioned whether his tenants had productive livelihoods, since they had never managed to fully catch up on rent payments since the early 1990s, after their costly, failed campaign to stop the genocide in Bosnia. 'They were strange people, I can tell you that much,' said the 58-year-old landlord, who claimed that Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon never opened the door more than a crack when Fantuzzo stopped by, and always wore the same dirty robe and slippers regardless of the hour. 'Ban would make up excuses why he couldn't let me inside. He'd say he was sick or he was in the middle of delicate sanction negotiations or some other thing.' 'And I could hear those damn cats through the door, but he always insisted it was just the TV,' Fantuzzo added. For many who were appalled by the U.N.'s overgrown, refuse-strewn 18-acre grounds, news of the organization's eviction has come as a welcome surprise. 'I've been in the place before, and believe me, it is utterly disgusting,' said Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose extended rant at U.N. headquarters in 2009 focused largely on the foulness of the building's restrooms. 'When I have to attend, I always take a long shower immediately afterward to get that nauseating stench off me.' 'They should really just tear the place down,' Ahmadinejad added. 
1	Responding to criticism that the team should have done more to deal star pitcher Roy Halladay by the trade deadline, Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi revealed at a press conference Monday that there was no such person as the alleged six-time All-Star. 'Please, guys,' said a defensive Ricciardi, who shopped 'Halladay' around to the Phillies and Red Sox, among other teams. 'A 6-foot-6, 225-pound pitcher with a 94-mph fastball who plays 200 innings a season? We're not giving that guy away for just anything, even if he does exist.' 'We developed, by which I mean made up, a really good pitcher here, one of the best in baseball,' said Ricciardi, who compared Halladay to a young and real Bob Gibson. 'No one made an offer that came close to what Roywho as far as they knew was a living, breathing baseball playerwas worth. We went into negotiations looking for a made-up power bat, or at least two pretend arms that we could slide right into the rotation. I would have even accepted one existent major-league player.' Ricciardi continued: 'The best the Phillies could come up with was Kyle Drabek and a prospect to be fabricated later. You're going to have to do better than that if you want Roy Halladay.' Halladay, who was fake-drafted by the Blue Jays in 1995, is credited with 142 career wins and 45 complete games, though Ricciardi confirmed that the fictional right-hander is just an amalgam of statistics compiled by Juan Guzman, Pat Hentgen, Woody Williams, Esteban Loaiza, Josh Towers, Gustavo Chacin, and other assorted Blue Jays pitchers through the years. 'We needed a new face for the franchise back in 2002, but our roster was pretty thin,' Ricciardi said. 'So we included a clause in our pitchers' contracts that said anytime they posted a decent start it'd be attributed to a 'Roy Halladay.' Then after the game, we'd say, 'There's a Halladay start,' or, 'Good old Roy, at it again.' At the end of the season, we said he'd won 19 games, and scouts were asking about him all over the place. It wasn't really too difficult adding him to the roster, since we haven't had any press covering the team in 15 years.' Ricciardi shrugged and added, 'Roy's my uncle's name. And whenever we needed a face, like for his baseball card, we just used a picture of our UPS guy.' Roy Halladay is just the latest in a long string of completely fictitious Blue Jay greats, a list that includes Dave Stieb, Jesse Barfield, and Joe Carter, whose home run to win the 1993 World Series was actually just a two-run single in the seventh inning by Paul Molitor. For their part, the Blue Jays clubhouse seemed happy that the abstract concept of Roy Halladay remained in Toronto. 'We heard the rumors, but you never expect a player like Roy to be said to play anywhere else,' first baseman Lyle Overbay said. 'It's not what Roy would want. Of course he deserves a chance to win, but he should win as a fake Blue Jay.' Catcher Rod Barajas added: 'Our front office believes in us enough to give us the players to compete, real or imagined. We may be 11 games back of the wild card, but having a make-believe Roy Halladay is better than having no Roy Halladay at all.' Reactions around baseball were muted, as the revelation seemed merely to verify doubts that a pitcher of Halladay's caliber would ever play in Toronto. 'Those first couple of years you can't really control [playing in Toronto], but then you demand a trade and get out of there,' exBlue Jay Orlando Hudson said. When asked if he remembered playing with a Roy Halladay, Hudson said, 'I don't remember any of my Blue Jay teammates.' Manager Cito Gaston admitted to being nervous when Halladay was selected to start the 2009 All-Star Game. 'We sent [starting pitcher] Brian [Tallet] over to St. Louis in a specially made-up Halladay jersey. We thought for sure someone would notice at that point. But hey, who recognizes Brian Tallet?' Ricciardi did not seem concerned about the inherent deceit behind the Halladay trade negotiations, insisting that some of the greatest players in baseball history were creations. 'Baseball is built on little deceptions: the curveball, the hidden-ball trick, the existence of Stan Musial. And we're not the only team who bends the truth. The Padres played 212 games last year just to make a little extra money. Just slid by and no one noticed. Milwaukee doesn't even have a third base.' When asked to explain his team's inactivity at the trade deadline, Ricciardi bristled, saying, 'Look, we are in fourth place in the toughest division in baseball, and the only way to remain competitive is by cutting salary, trading for prospects, and building for 2011.' 'Obviously, if Roy Halladay existed, I would have traded him,' he added. 'I'm not an idiot.' 
1	LUBBOCK, TXTemperamental Red Raiders basketball coach Bob Knight, whose violent outbursts have often overshadowed his teams' accomplishments, is at the center of controversy after announcing at a press conference Tuesday that he wants you dead. 'Dead, do you hear me?' Knight said to reporters who asked for clarification. 'Dead dead dead. I don't care how. But I said dead and I meant dead I said the name loud enough, didn't I? Well, I want that person to die. And you too, you damn parasite.' The Texas Tech athletic department issued a statement to you later that day claiming that Knight, whose Red Raiders are off to an underwhelming 6-4 start, 'felt he needs to shake things up a bit'; that the coach 'has never ruled out murdering his players alongside you if their attitude does not improve'; and that you are 'no better than a dead man' if the notoriously fanatic Red Raider booster club was told of Knight's statement. Lubbock police officers likewise warn you to flee and regret their inability to protect you, as they are currently engaged in the search for Knight's son and assistant coach, Pat Knight, who was last seen alive with his father during Texas Tech's 68-53 loss to Louisiana Tech last Wednesday. 
2	You Wont Believe Rick Perrys Plan To Annihilate All Islamics Well, while Texas Governor Rick Perry and President Barack Obama are typically seen on opposing sides of almost any argument, it appears that they do agree on one thing: American airstrikes against terrorists of the Islamic State in Iraq is a smart move. According to reports by Red State, Perry claims that the Kurdistan region of Iraq needs to be protected from ISIS because of the large number of Iraqi Christians living there. Perry has been advocating for a strong response to the recent brutality. It is very appropriate for us to be the hunter and them to be the hunted, Perry told reporters. Now, although U.S. Special Operations teams are on the ground in Iraq, Perry claims that he thinks we should only us aviation assets against the terrorist organization. The goal is a clear one: to remove the threat of ISIS. Lately, the Obama administration has made some seriously questionable choices when it comes to foreign policy, and it is safe to say that the United States can be held somewhat responsible for the current state of the region. What do you think? Are the air strikes a step in the right direction? 
3	NYPD Steals $18,000 from Man Because He Was Carrying a Banned Pocket KnifeBy Alice Salles Passed in 1958, the law banned New York residents from carrying knives fitted with blades that fall out of the handle as the user points them toward the ground while pushing the lever. This antiquated law is responsible for thousands of yearly arrests, despite the fact that current knife designs bear no resemblance to the blades of yesteryear. But estimates suggest that over the past ten years, this particular ban has been the reason for the prosecution of 60,000 New Yorkers many of them working people who use folding knives as part of their jobs. A recent incident shows another unintended consequence of upholding the gravity knife statute one that cost a South Bronx resident $18,000. In a very public tweet, the NYPD announced Sunday that officers from Police Service Area 7 had arrested a male for a gravity knife and vouchered $18,000 dollars cash for forfeiture. The triumphant tweet, the Village Voice pointed out, even [publicized the prisoners] name and address, down to the apartment number. By coupling an outdated law with civil asset forfeiture rules which in New York state, happen to be draconian officers managed to take advantage of yet another property owner in order to prop up the local police budget. While few details about the arrest were made public, the Village Voice added, many on Twitter commented that the model of knife the arrestee was carrying appear[ed] to be a style often carried by first responders, with a feature designed for safely cutting clothes and tangled seat belts after, say, a car accident. The news outlet reached out to the NYPD for more information, but officers failed to respond with more details. The gravity knife ban was tweaked in June when Democrats added an amendment to the state law clarifying the definition of a gravity knife by excluding any folding knife with a bias toward closure. The change has yet to be signed by Governor Andrew Cuomo. But even if its signed, this change to the state law does little to protect the New Yorkers constitutional right to own and carry any means of self-defense. Nevertheless, it could help to limit the number of individuals framed by the NYPD over folding knives and pocket knives, which are often used for work or passed down in a family. Even if the tweak to the states knife ban is finally signed into law, this measure, alone, will not be enough because the states civil asset forfeiture laws remain intact. Until serious criminal justice reforms are passed in the Empire State, New Yorkers will continue to be bullied in the name of policing for profit.

LEOs are looking for trouble, and soon or later theyre going to find it Bigtime. [Some, a few, etc] LEOs are looking for trouble Fixed it for ya. The NYPD was and is a largely criminal organization. It has been since long before Serpicos day. Their police unions arent called The Five Families for nothing. As a kid, I was given momey to give to the cop in case I was shaken down, a common occurance in Harlem in the 60s. These days, they mostly commit robberies and shakedowns of drug dealers and minorities. They can act with impunity as long as their victims are minorities. The good cops know to keep their mouths shut and go with the program which means the criminals pretty much have free reign as demonstrated by Eric Garners murder. they shake down and inflict crime against all races. Ask me how I know Good cops who watch the bad cops are just as guilty of wrongdoing when they do not intervene for the innocent This stuff makes me sick. Theyve gone way beyond getting their revenue from traffic tickets. Government sanctioned theft is still theft. But I suppose after 911 the 10 Commandments no longer apply either. There is no LAWFUL asset forfeiture. The supreme law of this land, requires that all laws/codes/regulations/statutes/treaties/etc MUST be in Pursuance thereof (follow) in order to be binding on the American people and that is in writing. ALL who serve within our governments state and federal are bound by Oath to support and defend it BEFORE the orders of superiors and the duties of the position being occupied. Since this is not lawful in any manner per the Fourth Amendment, and the Preamble to the Bill of rights makes clear that it is those who serve within our governments that are forbidden/restricted from any action against those Rights that the governments were created to PROTECT. Fourth Amendmnet: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, SHALL NOT BE VIOLATED, AND NO WARRANTS SHALL ISSUE, BUT UPON PROBABLE CAUSE, SUPPORTED BY OATH OR AFFIRMATION, AND PARTICULARLY DESCRIBING THE PLACE TO BE SEARCHED, AND THE PERSONS OR THINGS TO BE SEIZED. Want to know why we currently have a police state, why America is going downhill so quickly? It is called a police state when a armed force be they military or LE are used AGAINST the people. Here in America it is also called *Terrorism. *28 C.F.R. Section 0.85 Terrorism is defined as the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives. The requirement for all Federal and State Civil officers to give their solemn and binding Oath is established in Article VI, Section 1, Clause 4. Those that serve within our governments state and general are bound I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take Federal law regulating oath of office by government officials state and federal is divided into four parts along with an executive order that further defines the law for purposes of enforcement. 5 U.S.C. 3331, provides the text of the actual oath of office the three branches of our government, the 5 U.S.C. 3333 requires the three branches of our government, the military, all law enforcement, the heads of the States, all federal and state employees sign an affidavit that they have taken the oath of office required by 5 U.S.C. 3331 and have not or will not violate that oath of office during their tenure of office. 18 U.S.C. 1918 provides penalties for violation of oath of office described in 5 U.S.C. 7311 which include: (1) removal from office and; (2) confinement or a fine. 5 U.S.C. 7311 explicitly makes it a federal criminal offense for anyone employed in the United States Government to advocate the overthrow of our constitutional form of government. The definition of advocate is further specified in Executive Order 10450 for the purposes of enforcement supplements 5 U.S.C. 7311. Executive Order 10450 provision specifies it is a violation of 5 U.S.C. 7311 for any person taking the oath of office to advocate the alteration of the form of the government of the United States by unconstitutional means. It is important to realize that our form of government is defined Brookfield Construction Company V. Stewart 284 F Sup. 94: An officer who acts in violation of the constitution ceases to represent the government. This is not news to me, I was hassled for having a Barlow knife that does not lock or anything handed down to me by my grandfather, the incident happened in 1983. The cop wanted to take it away from me, I caused such a seen he just let me go. Smart move by the cop. Nowadays a person would not be so lucky. There are good cops in NYC but out of the 14,000 or so 10,000 are nothing but indoctrinated American hating, socialist morons . A 5th generation NYC American. I have no intention of every going to that slimy city anyway. If you know whats good for you youll stay away from the concrete jungles. 
1	Saying the first mouthful of the cheeseburger had been mostly bun and lettuce, local man Tony Rossetti confirmed Friday that he got a good amount of meat in that last bite. That was a good one, mostly meat, said Rossetti, who held up the sandwich and carefully scrutinized the cross-section of bread, meat, cheese, and condiments before continuing to consume the cheeseburger. I hope the next bite is like that or even better. Right now, it looks like Im in a pretty decent section of the cheeseburger. At press time, Rossetti told reporters that the next bite also had a solid amount of meat. 
3	The Way the NSA Uses Section 702 is Deeply Troubling. Heres Why.Nadia Kayyali In fact, the managers amendment to the USA FREEDOM Act, which passed unanimously out of the House Judiciary Committee, has weakened the minimal changes to Section 702 that USA FREEDOM originally offered. Although Representative Zoe Lofgrenwho clearly understands the import of Section 702offered several very good amendments that would have addressed these gaps, her amendments were all voted down. Theres still a chance thoughas this bill moves through Congress it can be strengthened by amendments from the floor. Section 702 has been used by the NSA to justify mass collection of phone calls and emails by collecting huge quantities of data directly from the physical infrastructure of communications providers. Heres what you should know about the provision and why it needs to be addressed by Congress and the President: The omission of Section 702 reform from the discourse around NSA surveillance is incredibly concerning, because this provision has been used to justify some of the most invasive NSA surveillance. Thats why EFF continues to push for real reform of NSA surveillance that includes an end to Section 702 collection. You can help by educating yourself and engaging your elected representatives. Print out our handy one-page explanation of Section 702. Contact your members of Congress today and tell them you want to see an end to all dragnet surveillance, not just bulk collection of phone records.

1	Outraged by the brutal suppression of civil liberties that has defined the nation's history, stoned 15-year-old Corey Shifflett denounced America as a 'total fascist police state' following his drunk-driving arrest Saturday. 'This whole country is, like, totally Hitlered-out,' Shifflett told friend Glen Withers, who posted his $500 bail. 'These cops, they're just looking for any excuse to pull us over and hassle us, just to feel like fuckin' Superman.' Shifflett then knocked over an orange highway cone and vowed to move to Amsterdam. 
3	Turning mass shootings into a police state and other gamesJon Rappoport Is JD Salinger dead enough yet? Can we prosecute his corpse because Mark David Chapman read his dreary novel, Catcher in the Rye, and then killed John Lennon? How about all those young men who found the good pages in an embargoed copy of Henry Millers Tropic of Cancer and then left home and family, or the later generation of boys who imbibed Jack Kerouacs On the Road and joined The Beat Generation? Surely some able lawyer can mount a class-action suit against the estates of those two dead authors. Any day now, Im expecting the White House to announce the formation of a new cabinet post: the Inflammatory Rhetoric Department. Hiring: analysts, evaluation experts, and SWAT teams trained for home and workplace invasions. What are you contemplating, Mr. Smith? Where did you get your information? Mass communication psychologists (aka psyop specialists) are working overtime to forge connections between accused criminals and their prior influences. No longer is it enough to say, The criminal made his own choices. He did what he did. Hes responsible. That went out when the State began taking psychiatrists testimony in court seriously. How could anyone think the government is bad? Its absurd. Government Daddy works all day at the office to help us, and at night he comes home and pats us on the head and government Mommy gives us hot chocolate And therefore (against any semblance of logic), if a criminal makes statements against the government, that government and its allied stooges must track down where these ideas came from, and pin the blame there, at the source, where it belongs. No, the shooter would never have turned into the shooter had he not read volatile statements on website X. Once he did, he was hooked. His mind was transformed into receptive mush. He was helpless. He picked up a gun and walked into the mall and opened fire. The new analysis stems from the notion that humans are nothing more than reflex biological machines. So in the spirit of contributing to this new field of inquiry, I have a couple of choices of my own that need serious investigating. First, remember a little outfit called Project for the New American Century? Coming to power after 9/11, their highly influential chiefs lobbied hard for an invasion of Iraq. Talk about inflammatory rhetoric. Add up the subsequent planes with bombs, the missiles, the soldiers with tanks, the deaths on both sides. Now that was a mass shooting, in full view of the American public. And if you want to wander back much further into that hated territory called history, youll come upon another wild-eyed bunch called the Council on Foreign Relations. In the early days of World War 2, they were already making plans for the post-war peace. They designated a committee to determine whether the United States could survive as an isolated entity, or whether it needed to go out beyond its borders for vital resources. The CFR naturally concluded the latter, and doubling down, decided that the US should install, through force and clandestine operations, a Pax Americanus covering the whole globe. Imperial empire. Those CFR boys knew how to inflame. And they had marvelous connections at the State Department, which in turn had a clear pipeline to Franklin Roosevelt, the President. As a matter of fact, right now somebody should be investigating what the White House is reading, because with all those drone strikes, with all this non-stop surveillance, its obvious theyre on some pretty nasty websites. One more while Im at it. I want to know which conspiracy website the US Supreme Court is wrapped up in. Because their decision to allow a corporation or labor union to spend big money to advocate for or against a political candidatewell, those Justices are obviously being driven crazy by some master conspiracists. Meanwhile, what about the millions of people who absorb their knowledge from the NY Times plus the three clowns anchoring the evening network news? That insane and monstrous influence should be investigated immediately, because the victims are dying, drip by drip, from terminal brain damage. Whenever Brian Williams, Scott Pelley, and Dianne (dont cry for me, America) Sawyer speak, neurons are irretrievably lost. Here are a few more treasonous anti-government people who should be investigated, in absentia: The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost immediately he comes to the conclusion that government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable (HL Mencken, 1919) Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself. (Mark Twain, 1881) Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one. (Thomas Paine, 1776) Where are these men? We must curtail their operations. What web sites are they running? Who might they influence to pick up a gun and commit a crime? We must locate these three men and get them to a psychiatrist, so they can be diagnosed with the correct mental disorders and treated with the appropriate drugs.

3	Are You A Slave Of The System?Michael Snyder, Contributor Of course the results would be overwhelmingly lopsided. Most Americans believe that they live in the land of the free and that they are not enslaved to anyone. But is that really the case? One dictionary definition of a slave is one that is completely subservient to a dominating influence. I really like that definition. Just think about it. Where is the big money in the United States today?When asked that question, most Americans think of Wall Street.Well, who controls Wall Street?The bankers do. The borrower is the servant of the lender, and they generate massive amounts of wealth by lending us money. Have you ever run up $5000 of credit card debt? Many people have run up much, much more than that, but let us use $5000 for our example. According to the Federal Reserve, if you only make the minimum payment every month, at a 20% interest rate it will take you 49 years to pay that credit card off and you will pay back a total of $26,169. So you would have gotten the original benefit of spending the $5000 and you would have had to work extremely hard to pay back an additional $21,169 to the bankers. In essence, you would be working as a servant of the bankers until you had paid back that entire debt plus interest. Unfortunately, our entire system is now designed to get you to go into debt. It starts before we even get into the real world. We are constantly told that wecannot get a good job without a college degree, but a college education is so ridiculously expensive these days that most of us cannot afford one without going into lots of debt. Many of you out there know exactly what I am talking about. Do you have a pile of student loan debt? I do. In fact, the total pile of student loan debt in the United States is now over a trillion dollars. Unfortunately, when a lot of us graduated we found out that the good jobs that we were promised simply were not there. Last year, 53 percent of all Americans with a bachelors degree under the age of 25 were either unemployed or underemployed. So many young adults are starting out life already enslaved to a gigantic pile of debt but without a good job that will enable them to comfortably service that debt. The really lucky graduates from the top schools flock to Wall Street so that they can make lots of money running the debt-based financial system that is enslaving all the rest of us. Once young people leave school, there are lots of other debt traps to fall into. Once you get out into the real world, just about every major purchase is going to involve another pile of debt. Do you want a house? That is going to mean more debt. As I have written about previously, mortgage debt as a percentage of U.S. GDP has more than tripled since 1955. Do you want a car? About 70 percent of all vehicle purchases in the U.S. now involve at least some borrowed money. Consumer debt is particularly insidious. Our stores are filled with very beautiful things, and it is really easy to buy a bunch of stuff and put it on plastic. Since 1971, the total amount of consumer debt in the United States has increased by 1700%, and approximately 46% of all Americans now carry a credit card balance from month to month. We just keep plunging ourselves deeper and deeper into debt slavery. Most Americans never seem to learn. Over the past 30 years those of us in the bottom 95 percent have seen our financial shackles just get heavier and heavier. The following is from a recent CNN article. When you pile up lots of debt, you arent just working for yourself anymore. You are also working for those that you owe the debts to. Your hard work and sweat end up making them a lot wealthier. Our state and local governments have enslaved themselves to debt as well. Total state and local government debt is now about 8 times higher than it was 30 years ago. At this point, many U.S. cities are in very serious trouble with debt. In fact, another California municipality has just declared bankruptcy. On Monday, the town of Mammoth Lakes announced that it has formally filed for bankruptcy. But this is just the beginning. The truth is that we are a nation that is absolutely drowning in debt and we need a lot more money in order to keep up with all of this debt. But there is a problem. In our debt-based financial system, the creation of more money actually creates more debt. So how are we ever going to get out of the hole that we are in? Today, the U.S. national debt is more than 5000 times larger than it was when the Federal Reserve was first created back in 1913. This is why it is so important for the American people to realize that the Federal Reserve is a perpetual debt machine. The Federal Reserve system itself does not make much money. The vast majority of the profits that the Federal Reserve makes are transferred back to the U.S. government. But that is not what the Federal Reserve was created to do. What the Federal Reserve was created to do was to set up a system where the U.S. government would borrow money and pay interest on it instead of just creating the money itself. Last year the U.S. government spent more than 454 billion dollars just on interest on the national debt. That is a form of national slavery. 454 billion dollars that we worked very hard to make was taken from us and transferred into the pockets of some very wealthy people. The truth is that the U.S. government does not actually need to ever borrow a single penny from anyone. As a sovereign government it could directly issue money into circulation. But lending money to governments is very, very profitable and it is the kind of thing that wars are fought over. For example, the First Bank of the United States (the very first central bank in our country) was established in 1791 and the charter for that bank expired in 1811 and was not renewed. So what happened the very next year? The War of 1812. During that war Washington D.C. was actually captured and burned. The final major battle of that war was the battle of New Orleans which took place on January 8, 1815. So what happened the very next year? President James Madison signed the charter for the Second Bank of the United States on April 10, 1816. The goal has always been to enslave the American people. Debt is used to enslave us individually, it is used to enslave our businesses, it is used to enslave our state and local governments and it is used to enslave our federal government. So are you a slave of the system? If you are in debt, then you are a slave at least to some degree. Unfortunately, the global financial system has become so saturated with debt that it is now on the verge of collapse. It appears that things could be getting significantly worse during the second half of this year, and the years ahead do not look very promising at all. Sadly, most Americans do not see any of this coming. In fact, a new CNN/ORC International poll has found that about 60 percent of all Americans think that the U.S. economy will be in good shape next year. Can you believe that? The mainstream media has done a fantastic job of brainwashing the general public. The blue team is convinced that if Barack Obama wins the election and the Democrats take control of both houses of Congress that prosperous times are on the way. The red team is convinced that if Mitt Romney wins the election and the Republicans take control of both houses of Congress that the U.S. economy will be put back on the right track. Well, the truth is that there is not going to be a solution to our economic problems on the national level. We have accumulated the greatest mountain of debt in the history of the world, and it is going to collapse and crush us no matter which brand of corrupt politicians we sent to Washington. On July 4th, millions upon millions of Americans will celebrate Independence Day with cookouts, parades and fireworks without ever realizing the true nature of what is really going on. Hopefully we can get more of them educated while there is still time. You can support this information by voting on Reddit HERE 
2	This Is What It Means If You Spot A Blue Line On The CurbHave you ever paid attention to the strange paint markings that are often on city streets and curbs? Yellow, orange, red, they all indicate something different, usually for construction workers to know where to start and end a job. But sometimes, paint on a sidewalk can mean something else, something much more amazing. And thats all thanks to one man in Texas. He created a new initiative to let the boys in blue, the police officers in his community, know that they are appreciated. He goes around, painting a small and harmless blue line on the road-side curb. When an officer sees that, he hopes that it will brighten his day, and let him know that there are still people out there who support him. The man, Anthony Welichko, wrote a post on Facebook describing the big meaning behind the small blue line. To all law enforcement who see this line, know that the residents of this home appreciate your service and dedication to keeping the peace.

1	Just hours after she was left broken-hearted by the death of boyfriend Christopher Dorner, sources reported that Taylor Swift rekindled her romance with the deceased California cop killer Wednesday and has been inseparable from his charred remains ever since. Taylor was absolutely crushed when her beau barricaded himself in a remote cabin and committed suicide, but after some intense soul-searching, she realized she couldnt live without him, Popsugar.com blogger Kristen Stern said of the rekindled romance between the 23-year-old singer-songwriter and the deceased subject of the LAPDs largest-ever manhunt. Now the Swifner romance is back on! Fans caught the country cupcake canoodling with Christophers burnt corpse at a San Bernardino County coroners office this afternoon, and friends say shes planning a special Valentines Day surprise for her man. Shes definitely smitten. At press time, paparazzi photographed the couple cozying up together inside Dorners body bag. This is an update to an earlier story. 
2	Obama Admin Imposes Sharia Law On American Business Owners Over the past few years weve seen the Obama Administration putting pressure on American businesses, forcing them to give in to Muslim demands. Now, two Muslim truck drivers were recently fired after refusing to deliver beer to stores. The pair claimed that they are followers of Islam, and it is against their religion. Obamas Equal Employment Opportunity Commission represented the duo in the caseand even provided the two men with taxpayer dollars to aid them in legal support. Of course, the employer did not have the resources to take a stand against the federal government. As if that werent enough, the Muslim men were just awarded $240,000 in a jury trial. Watch as Megan Kelly and Andrew Napolitano share their thoughts on the incident in the Fox News clip below. 
1	Saying it was hard to fathom how much his old acquaintance had changed over the years, 35-year-old Paul Tooley was reportedly surprised to learn Tuesday that his former classmate Chris Woodward had become a completely different type of fuckup than he was in high school. I always thought Chris was going to be one of your average burnouts who would never leave our hometown, but it turns out he actually started his own lawn-care business that he ended up running straight into the ground a few years back and now hes in massive debtI could hardly believe it, said Tooley, admitting his initial shock at discovering the apathetic stoner from high school had developed into a totally unexpected type of failure. Back in school, he was always kind of a loner and he never seemed like a guy youd expect to have a familycertainly not divorced twice like he is now. I guess I just sort of thought hed develop a drug addiction or spend some time in jail, not be drowning in bills and estranged from his kids. When reached for comment, Woodward told reporters he was not surprised to hear Tooley was still the same old judgmental asshole hed always been. 
1	Unless citizens throughout America keep him in their thoughts, say his name to themselves over and over, and otherwise believe in him with all their might, Barack Obama may cease to exist, the candidate warned supporters Thursday. 'My fellow Americans, I am currently very strong and very, very real,' Sen. Obama told a cheering crowd of 12,000 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. 'Even here in Hoosier country, a traditional Republican stronghold, your faith has kept me from growing faint, becoming transparent, and slowly fading from view.' 'But please, don't stop now,' Obama added. 'Unless you continue to believe in me, I'll completely disappear. You have to keep me in your thoughts at all times!' Deputy campaign manager Steve Hilde- brand, who has been tasked with making sure volunteers are chanting Obama's name with their hands clasped and their eyes shut tight, said that the candidate has nearly faded out at several points during the long campaign. Early in the primaries, when Hillary Clinton was up in the polls, Obama's typically solid composition began to waver and his voice became a distant echo. Currently the Democratic nominee is a blurred and vague outline in the state of West Virginia, where he trails McCain by almost 12 points. In Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia, Obama is already a waning dream to some people, while in Texas, he is nothing more than a gentle wind, rustling through the treesa ghostly visitor soon departed. 'During these last few days, I call on all Americans to keep thinking happy thoughts,' Obama said. 'Otherwise our dream of turning this country around will vanish, as I vanish, leaving nothing behind but a wisp of my memory and a few faint strains of my voice, forever whispering, 'Yes, we can. Yes, we can. Yes, we can.'' 
1	A courageous young notebook computer committed a fatal, self-inflicted execution error late Sunday night, selflessly giving its own life so that professors, academic advisors, classmates, and even future generations of college students would never have to read Jill Samoskevich's 227-page master's thesis, sources close to the Brandeis University English graduate student reported Monday. The brave laptop, even after fulfilling its mission, steadfastly resists a technician's data-recovery attempts. 'This fearless little machine saved me from unspoken hours of exasperated head-scratching and eyestrain, as well as years of agonizing self-doubt over my decision to devote my life to teaching,' said professor John Rebson, who had already read through three drafts of Samoskevich's sprawling, 38,000-word dissertation, titled A Hermeneutical Exploration Of Onomatopoeia In The Works Of William Carlos Williams As It May Or May Not Relate To Post-Agrarian Appalachia. 'It was an incredible act of bravery. This laptop sacrificed itself in order to put an end to Jill's senseless rambling.' Added Rebson: 'I only wish some of my other students' computers could be as selfless and brave as this one.' Those familiar with the IBM ThinkPad T41 characterized it as an ordinary machine placed under extraordinary circumstances. According to Information Technology Investigator Bob Arnett, the computer endured 'constant abuse at the fingertips of this lackluster scholar,' who forced it against its will to record page upon page of 'overindulgent, impenetrable drivel' that some say even Samoskevich herself didn't understand. 'It was one of the worst cases I've ever seen,' Arnett said. 'I minored in English in college, and I can tell you, this computer went through hell. But it never lost sight of what was right, and it's comforting to know that it's in a better place now, and it took that abomination of literary masturbation with it.' 'From what I readspecifically, pages one through 76this computer was put through a lot of painful, torturous passages,' said Department of English graduate faculty advisor Judith Mendel, who was scheduled to meet Samoskevich on Thursday to discuss the possibility of publishing the 'atrocity' in the department's academic journal. 'Thanks to this laptop's valor, Jill's classmates or future students will never have to pick their way through dense and discursive passages about 'The Red Wheelbarrow' and North Carolina farming communities. Also, I get to have a free lunch period Thursday.' Mendel said that even her most scalding critiques and fundamental dismantling of the paper's core arguments could never have demoralized Samoskevich in the way this computer's single system shutdown did. 'Jill called me last night and told me that she was too crushed to even consider starting over from scratch,' Mendel said. 'One determined computer has triumphed over years of misapplied literary theory.' The day before the crash, the computer reportedly resisted an attempt by Samoskevich to transfer files to an external drive when it failed to recognize a USB port, convincing some that the laptop's self-destruction was premeditated. According to Samoskevich's roommate, Pamela Roscoe, the ThinkPad had been 'up to something' for months. 'There were definite warning signs,' Roscoe said. 'It infected itself with a virus so Jill couldn't send e-mail attachments, and it would noticeably lag or shut down while she was typing out particularly long, dry sentences. I guess when she got to the chapter about how the 'imitative tactility' used in the first two stanzas of 'Young Sycamore' can act as a 'neo-structuralist, pre-objectivist perlustration and metonymy' of the importance of anti-Episcopalian sentiment in the rise and fall of central West Virginian coal miners' unions, the computer just decided that something had to be done for the greater good.' Mark Weiss, also in the English graduate program with Samoskevich, witnessed the incident at 2:39 a.m. Monday, just as Samoskevich was putting the finishing touches on her abstract so that an already exhausted Weiss could 'give it one more pass.' 'I had already read the whole thing twice to tell her whether her argument made sense, which it didn't, but this time she wanted me to make punctuation and grammar corrections,' Weiss said. As Samoskevich minimized one of her Internet Explorer windows, the screen froze 'for what seemed like an eternity,' then turned blue. 'I've already forgotten why 'Queen Anne's Lace' symbolizes the advances in modern agricultural implements, but I'll never forget that brave computer's last words: 'You will lose any unsaved information in all applications. Press any key to continue,'' Weiss said. Although the loss of the thesis meant that no one in the Samoskevich-Roscoe residence got any sleep that night, Weiss characterized his subjection to Samoskevich's frantic ravings as 'a small price to pay' when compared to the laptop's self-obliteration. 'It's tragic, but I can't help but think how the laptop never had the opportunity to do anything fun, like gaming or viral videoviewing or instant-messaging,' Roscoe said. 'People need to hear its story.' Faculty and staff of the English Department will gather at the Brandeis IT center Friday to honor the ThinkPad with a Purple Hard Drive, traditionally awarded to computers that die at least 100 pages into a dangerously boring thesis. Though Samoskevich was unavailable for comment, sources said she appeared to be immersed in new research on alcoholism and depression. 
2	Watch This Black Cowboy Wave A Confederate Flag In Obamas Face... Says Its Not Racist Ever since the tragic massacre in Charleston took place, liberals have been waging a war on the Confederate flag, deeming it a symbol of hatred and racism. The movement has caused several Southerners to stand up in defense of the flags heritage. In fact, a group of truckers lined up in Durant, Oklahoma on Wednesday morning in preparation for Obamas arrival there. Supporters wanted to send a message loud and clear to the president: the Confederate flag stands for heritage, not hate. We dont believe its a symbol of racism, Andrew Duncomb, a black organizer of the event in Oklahoma City told reporters. Duncomb calls himself the Black Rebel. Hell, Im just out here supporting y flag, not racists, one supporter said. I dont want no problems with anybody. What do you think of those speaking out in support of the flag? Do you stand behind the flags true meaning? 
2	Carrie Underwood Puts Entire Career On The Line To Crush Hillary On Stage At CMAs At the 50th annual Country Music Awards, host Carrie Underwood claimed she wanted to stay away from discussing politics. I prefer to stay away from politics, she said to the audience before the show. This is country music, and we have 50 years to cover. So I feel like well have lots to talk about, but I think it be more geared to just us and what we do and all these legends that we have and people that have incredible talent that we have in our genre. Still, Underwood and her co-host Brad Paisley did take their opportunity in the spotlight to take a dig at Hillary Clinton. During their opening skit, the pair commented on how tired they are this election. This election is taking forever, they sang to the Randy Travis classic. Forever and ever. Forever and ever. Forever and ever, Amen. Heres a bit from the dialogue between the two country stars: CU: our buddy, Keith Urban. They later mocked Clinton by handing out a basket of deplorables to the audience. The basket included camo gear, ammo, beer goggles, and more. CMA Country Music (@CountryMusic) November 3, 2016 
1	In an incredible play that drew cheers from the whole stadium, Washington Nationals left fielder Jayson Werth managed to catch a foul ball Tuesday night without spilling the beer he was holding in his other hand. I saw it come off the bat, and I was like, oh man, its coming right toward me, said Werth, adding that he didnt have time to put down his clear plastic cup of Miller Lite before the ball reached him. I hadnt really been paying attention before that, so it was a good thing I looked up. It was just an instinctive reaction more than anything else. Im just glad I didnt get beer all over my new jersey. Werth added that, while his feat was impressive, it pales in comparison to Brandon Crawford catching a foul ball earlier this season while holding his baby. 
2	Liberals Push To Make White Votes Worth Less Than Black Votes [SEE DETAILS] According to recent reports, a writer from The Washington Post recently wrote a story demanding that the U.S. government give African Americans five-thirds of a vote as reparations. A five-thirds compromise would imbue African Americans with a larger political voice that could be used to fight the structural discrimination expressed in housing, education, criminal justice and employment, Theodore R. Johnson, a former White House fellow wrote. If racism is the culprit, Johnson continued, then dismantling it requires the same tools that constructed it. Johnson proposes that this be put into action for 24 years. Of course, given that the majority of African Americans are currently Democrats, a measure like this would ensure that Republicans never get control of the House and Senate. Politicians will have no choice but to put black priorities first if they hope to remain in office, Johnson argued. What do you think? Is this proposal absolutely ridiculous? 
1	Plaza Diner patron Roger Trabers, upon noticing that one french fry on his plate had eluded his field of vision, demanded that the fried potato strip 'get [its] ass over here.' 'Whoa, where do you think you're going, buddy? I see you hiding behind that pickle,' said Trabers, who called the fry a 'smart little fella' before picking it up and dunking it in ketchup. 'Thought you could get away, eh? Well, time to say hello to Mr. Tummy.' Trabers then popped the fry into his mouth, made a satisfied 'gulp' noise, and went home and blew his brains out. 
3	Another Fake US Terror AlertStephen Lendman Here we go again. Another fake alert. Theyre strategically timed. Theyre wearing thin. They lack credibility. They repeat with disturbing regularity. No terror threat exists. Washington lied claiming one. Its not the first time. More on that below. On September 25, the State Department headlined Worldwide Caution, saying: The Department of State has issued this Worldwide Caution to update information on the continuing threat of terrorist actions and violence against US citizens and interests throughout the world. This replaces the Worldwide Caution dated February 19, 2013, to provide updated information on security threats and terrorist activities worldwide. The Department of State remains concerned about the continued threat of terrorist attacks, demonstrations, and other violent actions against US citizens and interests overseas. Current information suggests that al-Qaida, its affiliated organizations, and other terrorist groups continue to plan terrorist attacks against US interests in multiple regions, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. These attacks may employ a wide variety of tactics including suicide operations, assassinations, kidnappings, hijackings, and bombings. Extremists may elect to use conventional or non-conventional weapons, and target both official and private interests. Examples of such targets include high-profile sporting events, residential areas, business offices, hotels, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, schools, public areas, shopping malls, and other tourist destinations both in the United States and abroad where US citizens gather in large numbers, including during holidays. Its dirty hands are involved in waging war on humanity. Many tactics are used. They include involvement in subversion, sabotage, targeted assassinations, cyber attacks, and lawless aggression among others. Alleged Al Qaeda/affiliated groups planned terror attacks against US and Western interests abroad dont wash. Theyre fake. Whatever happens, if anything, will be another US/Western/Israeli provocation. Theyll be false flags used as justification for planned crackdowns and other aggressive acts. These schemes are wearing thin. They change the subject. They divert attention from pressing domestic issues. They justify wrongdoing. At times, they precede false flags. Bush officials used color-coded alerts. They ranged from Green (low), Blue (guarded), Yellow (elevated), Orange (high) to Red (severe). On April 26, 2011, a National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) replaced them. Then Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said: Today I announce the end of the old system of color-coded alerts. In its place, we will implement a new system thats built on a clear and simple premise: When a threat develops that could impact you the public we will tell you. We will provide whatever information we can so you know how to protect yourselves, your families, and your communities. Every post-9/11 terror alert was fake. Alleged threats didnt exist. This time is no different. So-called intelligence, chatter or other claimed information doesnt exist. In early August, a fake terror warning followed alleged Al Qaeda intercepted electronic communications. None whatever existed. It didnt matter. TheState Department headlined Temporary Post Closures and Worldwide Travel Alert. It affected over 20 US embassies and consulates. Despite no reason to do so, they were shut because of increased security concerns. Theyre during worsening economic crisis conditions. They affect growing millions. Theyre when Washington plans more austerity. They divert attention from what concerns ordinary people most. The initial August 3 and 4 closure was extended throughout the week. AWhite House statement said: Early this week, the President instructed his National Security team to take all appropriate steps to protect the American people in light of a potential threat occurring in or emanating from the Arabian Peninsula. Given the nature of the potential threat, throughout the week, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Lisa Monaco has held regular meetings with relevant members of the interagency to ensure the US Government is taking those appropriate steps. This afternoon, National Security Advisor Rice chaired a meeting with the Principals Committee to further review the situation and follow-up actions. The President has received frequent briefings over the last week on all aspects of the potential threat and our preparedness measures. After todays Principals meeting, the President was again briefed by Amb. Rice and Ms. Monaco. On August 4, theState Department issued an update on embassy and consulate closures, saying: Given that a number of our embassies and consulates were going to be closed in accordance with local custom and practice for the bulk of the week for the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan, and out of an abundance of caution, weve decided to extend the closure of several embassies and consulates including a small number of additional posts. This is not an indication of a new threat stream, merely an indication of our commitment to exercise caution and take appropriate steps to protect our employees including local employees and visitors to our facilities. All so-called terror alerts, warning, cautions, and related announcements are fake. Theyre issued for political advantage. They generate fear. They justify wrongdoing. Whats planned remains to be seen. Post-September 30, a potential government shutdown looms. On October 17, Americas debt ceiling is reached. If Congress doesnt raise it, the Treasury runs out of money. Syria remains on the boil. Efforts continue to discredit Iranian President Hassan Rohani. A separate article called his September 25 General Assembly address eloquent, straightforward, honest and important. He spoke truth to power. He did so sincerely and candidly. Hes falsely accused of being a holocaust denier. CNN interviewed him. FARS News headlined CNN, Amanpour Should Account for Fabrication of President Rouhanis Remarks, saying: The American news channel CNN fabricated the Iranian Presidents remarks in response to the networks question about the Holocaust in an interview which was aired on Tuesday and Wednesday. During the interview, CNN aired an English translation of President Rouhanis remarks which were totally inaccurate and untrustworthy, and in some parts contained sentences which were not at all uttered by the president. His correctly translated remarks were: I have said before that I am not a historian and historians should specify, state and explain the aspects of historical events, but generally we fully condemn any kind of crime committed against humanity throughout the history, including the crime committed by the Nazis both against the Jews and non-Jews, the same way that if today any crime is committed against any nation or any religion or any people or any belief, we condemn that crime and genocide. Therefore, what the Nazis did is condemned, (but) the aspects that you talk about, clarification of these aspects is a duty of the historians and researchers. I am not a history scholar. CNNs Translation: Ive said before that I am not a historian and then, when it comes to speaking of the dimensions of the Holocaust, it is the historians that should reflect on it. But in general I can tell you that any crime that happens in history against humanity, including the crime that Nazis committed towards the Jews as well as non-Jews is reprehensible and condemnable. Whatever criminality they committed against the Jews, we condemn, the taking of human life is contemptible, it makes no difference whether that life is Jewish life, Christian or Muslim, for us it is the same, but taking the human life is something our religion rejects but this doesnt mean that on the other hand you can say Nazis committed crime against a group now therefore, they must usurp the land of another group and occupy it. This too is an act that should be condemned. There should be an even-handed discussion. FARS News said most of CNNs last paragraph translation was deceptively added, fabricated, or completely altered. Doing so shows willful intent. Headlines followed. They called Rohani a holocaust denier.Haaretz headlined Rohani says Nazis committed reprehensible crime against Jews, but did he disavow Holocaust denial? According to the Holocaust History Project, deniers claim three things: According to Haaretz, Rohani might still be considered a Holocaust-denier, albeit a much smoother one than his predecessor. A previous article quoted Ahmadinejads comments. He was often misquoted. Hes no holocaust denier. Claims otherwise are lies. In September 2007, he spoke at Columbia University. Im not saying (the holocaust) didnt happen at all, he said. This is not the judgment that Im passing here. He said this and related issues are politicized. Its part of Washingtons longstanding anti-Iranian hostility. Its unchanged. Rohani feels its sting. Hes no holocaust denier. Whatever he says, does or plans will be held against him. Expect it no matter how well intended. Expect Washington to take full advantage. Longstanding anti-Iranian hostility remains fixed. So does Americas war on humanity. Fake terror alerts are tactics used to wage it. Advancing imperial priorities matter most.

3	US Strike on Syria is Desperation IncarnateTony Cartalucci In haste that can only be described as desperation bordering criminal insanity, the West announced that it has begun air and missile attacks on Syrian territory. It alleges that it is attacking ISIS, however and unlike its campaign in neighboring Iraq the US in particular refuses to provide any details as to what it is actually doing in Syria. Reuters would report in its article, U.S., Arab partners launch first strikes on IS in Syria, that: The United States and several Gulf Arab allies launched air and missile strikes on Islamic State strongholds in Syria on Tuesday, U.S. officials said, opening a new, far more complicated front in the battle against the militants. I can confirm that U.S. military and partner nation forces are undertaking military action against (Islamic State) terrorists in Syria using a mix of fighter, bomber and Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles, Rear Admiral John Kirby, Pentagon press secretary, said in a statement. It is these very Arab partners that are also on record, arming and funding terrorism along Syrias borders as well as backing terrorist organizations operating in Syria itself. Saudi Arabia and Qatar, in particular, have been providing money and cash, while the US CIA distributed it mainly along Turkeys border with Syria in the north, and Jordans border with Syria to the south. Despite years of rhetoric attempting to differentiate what the West calls moderates from known terrorist organizations including US State Department-listed foreign terrorist organizations Al Nusra, and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), it is clear that literally days before ISIS crossed into Iraq triggering the latest geopolitical crisis in the region, ISIS was fighting alongside so-called moderates in an attack on Syrias town of Kassab along the border with Turkey. Turkey, a NATO member, would even go as far as providing aircover for the attack which was in fact launched from Turkish territory. The fact remains that the only genuine fight against Al Qaeda, ISIS, and other terrorist groups in the region, has been led by the Syrian government and its military. Carving Off a Terror Capital for the Wests Proxies Whatever it is that the US and its Arab partners are attacking in Syria at the moment, it is assuredly not ISIS. When the smoke clears, we will likely see Syrias Raqqa region carved off and firmly in the hands of the very terrorists the US claims it is attacking. The only change will be that they now benefit from US airpower, and the Western media will no longer label them ISIS, but rather, as moderates. Carving off Aleppo would also be likely, though loftier goal for the West transforming either it or Raqqa into an opposition capital like Benghazi was in Libya. Carving off territory from Syria and creating bufferzones was part of the US agenda in Syria for years long before the threat of ISIS was wielded as a potential pretext for direct US military intervention. ISIS is simply the latest construct being used to implement the strategy. While the idea of a buffer zone is meant to look like the latest honest attempt to solve a growing regional crisis and to win the war in Syria, in reality this has been planned since at least March of 2012, where the idea was proposed by the corporate-financier funded Brookings Institution in theirMiddle East Memo #21 Assessing Options for Regime Change where it stated specifically: An alternative is for diplomatic efforts to focus first on how to end the violence and how to gain humanitarian access, as is being done under Annans leadership. This may lead to the creation of safe-havens and humanitarian corridors, which would have to be backed by limited military power. This would, of course, fall short of U.S. goals for Syria and could preserve Asad in power. From that starting point, however, it is possible that a broad coalition with the appropriate international mandate could add further coercive action to its efforts. The Brookings Institution, Middle East Memo #21 Assessing Options for Regime Change makes no secret that the humanitarian responsibility to protect is but a pretext for long-planned regime change. Failing to sell the humanitarian intervention, the old War on Terror has been dusted off and utilized as a pretext. Brookings continues by describing how Turkeys aligning of vast amounts of weapons and troops along its border in coordination with Israeli efforts in the south of Syria, could help effect violent regime change in Syria: In addition, Israels intelligence services have a strong knowledge of Syria, as well as assets within the Syrian regime that could be used to subvert the regimes power base and press for Asads removal. Israel could posture forces on or near the Golan Heights and, in so doing, might divert regime forces from suppressing the opposition. This posture may conjure fears in the Asad regime of a multi-front war, particularly if Turkey is willing to do the same on its border and if the Syrian opposition is being fed a steady diet of arms and training. Such a mobilization could perhaps persuade Syrias military leadership to oust Asad in order to preserve itself. Advocates argue this additional pressure could tip the balance against Asad inside Syria, if other forces were aligned properly. Clearly, a buffer zone is the next step for Western designs aimed at exacting regime change in Syria and would be a move the Syrian government would not readily agree to. It was also a step that merely needed a pretext to move forward. In 2012, fabricated border incidents with Turkey were being used to help implement this strategy but failed. Now the threat of ISIS is being used to resell the exact same scheme. While Turkey and Israel continue applying pressure on Syrias borders, Americas assault on Syrian territory itself will begin carving out the safe havens and corridors described by Brookings in 2012. Before Syria and its allies could fill the geostrategic void Western-backed terrorists created in eastern Syria and northern Iraq, the West has moved but perhaps what would have become a trap for Syrian, Iranian, and other regional forces, may end up a trap instead for Western forces and their Arab partners. This, however, depends entirely on Syria and its allies ability to mire the West in protracted fighting fighting that may eventually lead to Americas Persian Gulf allies doorsteps. For now, Syria and its allies must formulate carefully a strategy that resists overreaction to immense provocations, understand the true nature of Americas aggression, determining whether it was exercised from a position of strength or immense weakness, and devise countermeasures that accommodate long-term consequences of Americas current campaign. A balance between allowing the West to exhaust its last desperate options, but preventing long-term entrenchment of Western-backed proxies must be struck. Tony Cartalucci, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook, where this first appeared. 
2	Muslim Man Attacks Donald Trump, So He Immediately Does THIS According to reports, the Muslim man who recently attacked Donald Trump is a Muslim Brotherhood agent who has been working to bring Muslims into the United States. Based on what has been discovered so far, it is no surprise that Khizr Muazzam Kahn wanted to prevent Trump from implementing his temporary ban on Muslim immigration. Kahn is a known promoter of Sharia Law, and co-founder of the Journal of Contemporary Issues in Islamic law. His fascination with the religious law reportedly stems from his life in Saudi Arabia. In the 1980s, Kahn wrote a paper titled Juristic Classification is Islamic Law. In the document, he praised the system of Sharia law, expressing reverence for The Sunnah [the works of Muhammad]. These days, Kahn runs a law firm in New York City called KM Kahn Law Office. According to the business website, it specializes in immigration services. Were guessing Kahn advocates for Muslims working to enter the country. What do you think of this new bit of information? Do you stand behind Trump?

1	Calling the 7-year-olds attempt at fitting together the pieces the most idiotic display hes witnessed in almost eight decades on earth, local grandfather Harold Randolph told reporters Wednesday that his grandsons jigsaw puzzle strategy is absolutely fucking pathetic. Jesus Christ, how does this little moron not know to start with the corner pieces? said Randolph, 78, adding that the childs decision to not immediately dump out all 100 pieces of the barnyard animalthemed puzzle and inspect them against the boxs cover completely retarded. Oh, great, now this dipshit is trying to jam that grass piece into where the horses should be. I almost wish I could slap him in the face so hed realize what a jackass hes making of himself, but maybe hes just a lost cause. At press time, Randolph was giving his imbecile grandson 10 more seconds before pushing him out of the way and just solving the puzzle himself. 
2	Donald Trump Firmly Corrects News Host About Clintons This interview with Donald Trump is just further proof that the mainstream media is riddled with bias. That is especially true as it comes to the presidential election, and more specifically, Hillary Clinton. On NBCs Today Show, host Savannah Guthrie was recently interviewing GOP front-runner Trump about Clintons campaign, when her focus on womens issues was brought to the surface. Guthrie asked Trump about that might be perceived if former President Bill Clinton decided to campaign for his wife. Trump responded quickly, arguing that the former president is responsible for a lot of abuse of women. He went on to cite the Monica Lewinsky incident, arguing that issues like these would be fair game if Hillary Clinton decided to play the womans card. Guthrie then rubbed Trump the wrong way when she called Clintons affair an alleged one. It was not alleged, Trump interrupted. Was that alleged? I dont think that was alleged. Only after being confronted did Guthrie correct herself, admitting that Clinton did eventually admit to the affair. This is not the first time that Trump has called out a reporter for being biased, and were sure it wont be the last. What do you think? Do you support Trump? 
1	According to a study released Wednesday by sociologists at Johns Hopkins University, an increasing number of parents across the country are relying on their own mothers and fathers to help them fuck up their children. As economic concerns prompt more parents to work longer hours, many are turning to grandparents to assist them in crushing their childrens self-esteem and shaping them into confused, maladjusted adults, said lead author Dr. Janine Thompkins, who noted that four in 10 grandparents are currently the familys primary insult-givers to children. Parents like knowing that while theyre at work, a trusted family member is satisfactorily filling in for them by shouting at their kids in line at the pharmacy or criticizing their weight in front of their friends. And we found that, in most cases, children emerge just as fucked up and traumatized from a grandparents constant belittlement as compared to that from their own mother or father. Researchers noted that many cash-strapped families are receiving added relief from subsidized child care programs, which allow parents to drop off young children at local community centers to be fucked up by underpaid, uninterested daycare workers. 
2	Obama Said America Wants Him To Run For A Third Term... Heres How America Responded According to a recent poll released by Rasmussen Reports, only one third of Americans said that they would re-elect President Obama if he were to run for office again in 2016. Further, only 57% percent of Democrats said that they would vote for him again. That number may seem ridiculously high to conservatives, but when 43% of your own party views you unfavorably, thats not looking good. 68% of independents claimed that they would vote for another candidate if he were to run again, and 93% of Republicans would rather see someone new in office. Of course, this probably blows Obamas mind. I actually think Im a pretty good president, he said last week in Africa. I think if I ran again, I could win. But I cant. The law is the law, and no one person is above the law, not even the president. What do you think? Are you surprised with the results of the survey?

According to some shocking new reports, 17-year-old Ashley Marie Scott from Lansing, IL was recently murdered by a black drug dealer. When Scott and her friends reportedly met Ronald McMahan, 19, he told the group that he had marijuana that he could sell them. But when the teens arrived, they were instead met by Gary McMahan, who pulled a gun on them and proceeded to rob the group of teens. The girls attempted to escape but their vehicle was peppered by McMahan. What do you think of the incident and the fact that it is not being reported in the mainstream media? 
3	Doesnt Matter WHO Hacked Podesta, If Emails are TRUEBy Ben Swann Butbutthe Russians! Those dirty commies,or perhaps, it was our very own NSA. I was shocked, not at Clintons corruption but that the CBS Network would actually broadcast this information. Most American MSM are total hacks, liars and cheats. bout time folks pulled their heads out and said thank you to whoever showed us the emails. In Murrka,exposing crimes Is illegal. 
2	Obama: The US Must Give Their Freedom To The UN Many Americans are counting down the days until Donald Trump takes office. Were tired of having to endure Obamas terrible policies which have weakened our military and our countrys position as a fearless world leader. Thats not surprising, given that Obama has often pushed for a One World government, just like Hillary. At one of Obamas last meetings with other world leaders in the UN, Obama made this disturbing comment: We have to put our money where our mouths are. And we can only realize the promise of this institutions foundingto replace the ravages of war with cooperationif powerful nations like my own accept constraints. Sometimes Im criticized in my own country for professing a belief in international norms and multilateral institutions. But I am convinced that in the long run, giving up some freedom of actionnot giving up our ability to protect ourselves or pursue our core interests, but binding ourselves to international rules over the long termenhances our security, Obama continued. And I think thats just not true for us. This is a terrifying statement and one of many reasons leaders are reconsidering the UNwhos only intention seems to be bringing about a new world and economic order and implementing an international system of governance. Time and time again, weve seen the UN fail to protect those that really need help. The Israel bill is the latest outrage. Obama wants Americans to give up our freedoms to achieve goals of the United Nations, so its a good thing Hillary Clinton wont be in office furthering his agenda. Donald Trump will protect our country. Do you agree? 
2	Obama Pardons 95 Criminals From Federal Prison Because Of THIS Obama is under fire for commuting the sentences of 95 federal prisoners. This group consists mostly of non-violent, drug-related offenses. Obama claims that one of his biggest missions as president is to reduce the number of people serving sentences for drug related crimes. He wants a reform of the criminal justice system. After doing this on Friday, with the Fair Sentencing Act in 2010, Obama has granted 184 commutations in his time in office. This is more than the past 5 presidents have done combined. I commuted the sentences of 95 men and women who had served their debt to society, another step forward in upholding our ideals of justice and fairness, Obama said. We think that violent criminals deserve far worse punishment and should be prioritized. However, Obama seems to be letting people out of prison left and right. He even let a guilty man out of Guantanamo Bay after just a few years. He is out of control. Do you think that prisoners should serve the sentence they were given? 
1	Amid the continuing debate over the upcoming fiscal cliff, sources close to House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) confirmed Monday that he simply wants his wife, Deborah, to listen to his budget proposal and isnt in the mood for a debate over her suggestions for alternative ways to reduce the federal deficit. Hey, honey, would you please stop throwing in your own ideas and just listen to what Im saying, okay? I know what Im doing here, said Boehner, who reportedly grew increasingly frustrated as his spouse interjected various ideas for closing loopholes, limiting deductions, and scaling back health care costs in order to trim the governments $16 trillion debt. Dont you think I would have thought of lowering marginal tax rates? If you just let me talk for two secondsDebbieDebbie, please!if you just let me finish, youll see that I already considered lower marginal tax rates as well as raising the rates of capital gains and dividends, and it doesnt work. The revenue doesnt add up, andsee, Im trying to explain it to you, but you wont listen. At press time, after hearing his wifes lengthy argument, Boehner was forced to concede that her suggestion to institute a gradual increase in the Medicare eligibility age was a pretty good idea, although similar to an idea I already had, actually. 
2	Islamic State Threatens Putin With Mass Terror Attacks On Russia, He Responds With THIS Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has just asked officials to increase their efforts to prevent any terrorist plots. As we know, Russia is heavily involved in heading attacks against ISIS in Syria. They have received support from many powerful countries, but the United States has remained distant. Now, it appears that ISIS is moving deeper into Russia. In a televised ceremony, Putin claimed that the FSB intelligence agency has already foiled 20 terror plots this year. He also cited 560 militant arrests and 112 deaths as a result of raids and clashes. What do you think? Do you support Putin taking action to fight violent extremism? 
2	Obama: Help Us Destroy Jesus And Start A New Age Of Liberal Darkness According to one report that is yet to be backed up, President Obama just delivered a very controversial speech at the democratic national convention. Reports indicate that the president talked about destroying Jesus. The 45-minute speech also reportedly covered how to end all those who worship Jesus, which was met with cheers of Four more years! One report claims that Obama called for a liberal dystopia free of religion. While these are likely false claims, they are not entirely outside the realm of reality. During his terms as President, the Obama administration has passed several laws that are in direct conflict with Christian beliefs. Essentially, todays American Christians are being forced to decide between following the law and staying true to their religious beliefs. What do you think of these claims?

2	Liberals Are Attacking Sadie Robertson After She Made THIS Huge Announcement Duck Dynasty star Sadie Robertson has just announced that she will be the headline speaker at SoulStock2015, a free Christian music festival in Alabama. In stark contrast to Lollapalooza and Coachella, SoulStock promotes worship and faith in God rather than a culture of drug and alcohol use. Sadie will be speaking in the evening ahead of performances by two Christian bands. Once again, its hard to refrain from comparing 17-year-old Sadie to Malia Obama, daughter of our president. While Sadie stands for value and grace, Malia is partying at Lollapalooza. The same festival she attended sent a slew of teenagers to the hospital for alcohol poisoning and other drug-related issues. What do you think? Is Sadie a way better role model for todays teens than the Obama daughters?

1	WINSTON-SALEM, NCA controversial report released Monday by the tobacco advocacy group Smoking Now blasted the antismoking group Truth.org for never even once taking a drag off a rich, flavorful brand-name cigarette before forming its negative opinions. 'This is America,' pro-smoking activist Amber Joyce said. 'What ever happened to not knocking it before you try it? Give it at least a pack, then come back and tell us that it's no fun.' The report concluded that if the members of Truth .org just bummed a couple while they were drunk, they would see how smooth and cool cigarettes, and they themselves, could be. 
1	Saying that such a dialogue was essential to the colleges academic mission, Trescott University president Kevin Abrams confirmed Monday that the school encourages a lively exchange of one idea. As an institution of higher learning, we recognize that its inevitable that certain contentious topics will come up from time to time, and when they do, we want to create an atmosphere where both students and faculty feel comfortable voicing a single homogeneous opinion, said Abrams, adding that no matter the subject, anyone on campus is always welcome to add their support to the accepted consensus. Whether its a discussion of a national political issue or a concern here on campus, an open forum in which one argument is uniformly reinforced is crucial for maintaining the exceptional learning environment we have cultivated here. Abrams told reporters that counseling resources were available for any student made uncomfortable by the viewpoint. 
3	Australian Government Dumps Mandatory Internet Filtering SchemeAndrew Puhanic, Contributor The scheme initially was proposed by former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in 2007, and would have forced all Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to block all websites that have been identified by the Australian Communications and Media Authority as restricted. Opposition to the policy came from many groups when the Australian Government announced the concept of an Internet filter in Australia, including ISPs, childrens welfare groups, Google, the US Ambassador and other prominent civil libertarian groups. Cyber-activists in Australia even compared the Internet filtering scheme to firewalls operating in China and Iran. The Australian Governments proposed Internet filter, also known as the nanny state filter, will now be replaced with a slimmed down version that will only block websites supplied by Interpol that have been identified as displaying child pornography. Under the existing powers under the Telecommunications Act, ISPs will be forced to block the list of restricted websites. When the slimmed down version of the Internet filter is implemented, there will beno regulations or safeguardsto prevent the government from adding other (non-Interpol) websites to the filter list. This victory comes hand in hand with a recent decision by the Australian Government to withdraw its proposed changes to the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979 that would have forced Australian telecommunications companies and ISPs to collect and store phone and Internet data records for a minimum two years. Considering that the governments unpopular carbon tax has severely affected the Australian Governments popularity, and that the next election will be held within the next 12 months, is this recent change of heart simply a political decision rather than a moral one?

3	Dollar Crashes Against Bitcoin, I Wish it Bought More of ThemGary Gibson I keep a realtime Bitcoin price tab open at all times these days. One second the price was bouncing around $880 or so and the next it was over $930. As of this writing the USD price is batting its head against $970, just inches away from $1000. I wonder if by the time this goes to print whether $1000 will have been brokenor if those four significant digits will prove to be the barrier off which the Bitcoin price bounces and crashes. As much of a proponent of Bitcoin I am, I am among those who are strenuously hoping for its price to tumble. But last I checked there were three distinct types of people who are dreaming of a crash: bitter gold bugs, bitter state-worshiping dollar-lovers and bitter free market true believers who wish theyd bought a lot more a long time ago. Your editor is a vocal member of that last group. Like many of the more digitized liberty-minded, I wish I had just one more chance to get some Bitcoins for relatively cheap before it charges to new heights, never to look back. Others calling for Bitcoins fall are doing so because Bitcoin is making their favorite currency or store of value look bad. The more economically astute Bitcoin detractors keep reminding us that Bitcoins arent gold, have no intrinsic value, etc. The less economically astute (and more prone to worship centralized violence) keep reminding us that Bitcoin has no central banker or government guns to back it up. a) Those who will always hate it because its not gold b) Those who hate it and say its a bubbly fad because its not backed by government guns like a proper currency ought to be c) Those who think its a great free market answer to money and who see a much higher price, but who wish they could buy in at much lower prices. Today, well before the Bitcoin price shot up to its new milestone, I saw a debate with Peter Schiff representing the gold rules, Bitcoin drools camp and then caught the odor of a New York Times article making fun of Bitcoin because there was no tyrannical state force to back it. Heres the debate between Peter Schiff and Stefan Molyneux: You probably know the usual complaints: that Bitcoin is only accepted because people believe it has value. Sort of like gold is. Or the dollar. The additional argument is that Bitcoin can only be used for exchange unlike gold which can be used to make a bowl, or worn as decoration, or fashioned into toilets in case its monetary value disappears. The rest of Mr. Schiffs points are parroted in that bastion of central planning cheerleading, the New York Times, in an article titled fittingly enough, Render Unto Caesar (emphasis mine): Which merchants in their right mind are going to accept a currency that seemingly changes its value in wild swings every other day? Mr. Bransons experience with bitcoin is instructive: While he happily accepted bitcoin as a form of payment, he quickly converted the payment into dollars. Then there is the issue of how limited the supply of bitcoin truly is. Bitcoin is digitally mined by computers running an algorithm. (If you just rolled your eyes, youre not alone.) The algorithm limits the total number of bitcoin ever mined to 21 million units. But there is no Bernanke (or Janet Yellen) of bitcoin. Nobody knows who created it and no one controls it. Thats supposed to be a benefit. Its also why the currency is often associated with illicit sales. Bitcoin can be transferred anonymously and without banks taking transaction fees. But if, and this is a big if, your peer-to-peer transaction doesnt work properly, there is no central clearinghouse to complain to. Whether the government ultimately seeks to regulate bitcoin is an open question. It seems hard to believe that the government would allow the growth of such an unregulated market in which moms and pops, widows and orphans, and other individuals may be subject to all kinds of fraud Finally, there is the question of what happens if other alternative digital currencies also rise. More than a dozen digital currencies are trying to compete with bitcoin. Can you imagine a world in which we all transact with dozens of different currencies every day with different rules? Neither can I. There is plenty of overlap between the gold bugs and the centralized fiat-lovers in their reasons for hating on Bitcoin. Too much dollar price fluctuation, not enough penetration among merchants (though you can buy lots and farm equity shares in Galts Gulch Chile with Bitcoins), with the possibility of coming regulatory disincentives. The NYT, however, has a very big lament that the gold bugs dont: that there is no central banker empowered by any gun-toting state thugs behind Bitcoin to control its supply. The fear of having to deal with gasp! lots of competing currencies also reveals a mind free of understanding markets and how proper money is just another service/commodity competing for our interest, not something controlled by a centralized authority whose use is encouraged by the threat of violence. You really should ignore these people. They worship gangsters and regularly feature the writings of Paul Krugman. As Bitcoin charges toward a thousand, I keep having flashbacks to the first time then-fellow Agora Financial employee and anarcho-capitalist Joel Bowman told me about Bitcoin in 2009 (Memory fails, but I think a Bitcoin cost about a dime at the time). And then to the time friend and TDV editor-in-chief Jeff Berwick helped me set up a Bitcoin wallet and deposited some Bitcoins in it to get me started in San Diego in 2012. October, 2012 Jeff: Dont forget to put some more bitcoins in that wallet we set up for you this morning. Theyre a great buy now at around $10. Me: Im sure Ill get around to it. Of course, Jeff was predicting Bitcoin at these prices even when Bitcoin prices took a tumble down to $3! Honestly I, too, was expecting big things from Bitcoin. Still am. In fact I consider Bitcoin to be just one of many very promising ways to keep a step ahead of the impoverishing police state for those who cant or wont leave the USSA. As much as I hate to admit it, the bitter gold bugs and dollar-lovers are right. There is a lot of room for utter ruin in Bitcoin. Thats why as much hope as I personally have in it, I and the Homegrown crew are always on the lookout for other ways to survive and thrive in the US as the available wealth shrinks and the police state expands.

1	NEW YORKAfter falling 6 percent in the past three weeks, the U.S. dollar hit a 208-year low against the U.S. quarter, which had been valued at exactly 0.25 dollars since its introduction in 1796. 'The dollar continues to slide against most major currencies,' Morgan Stanley analyst Richard Jemison said. 'At the end of the day Tuesday, the quarter was trading at .267 yen, .203 euros, and US$0.28. But what we're really seeing here is not just a dollar weakened by a sluggish economy, but an exceptionally resilient quarter-dollar.' Jemison was quick to point out that the dollar remains very strong against the nickel. 
1	Ingenious, quick-thinking local man Pete Sidell, 29, demonstrated his uncanny cultural savviness today by registering a 'Sleepy Romney' Twitter account he can use to parody Mitt Romney if the GOP candidate appears tired at any point during tonight's presidential debate. 'If he yawns even for a second, or rubs his eyes a bunch, this thing is gonna blow up,' said Sidell, who told reporters the first tweet from the 'Sleepy Romney' account would most likely read 'zzzzzzzzz.' 'I could do a screen-cap of him looking sleepy and make that the avatar. And then tweet funny phrases like 'Paul R-Yawn.' People will retweet it and it will become a meme and I'll get a ton of followers.' Sidell claimed that if Romney did not appear tired tonight, he could just find a picture of the former Massachusetts governor blinking, use that, and 'hope it takes off.' 
2	NEW Pictures Leaked Of Obama Caught Doing THIS... But His Response Will Sicken You Its no secret that President Obama has a history of pot-smoking and partying. Now, our dear President has come forward to confess that he finds marijuana to be far less harmful than alcohol. As has been well documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life, Obama confessed in an interview. I dont think it is more dangerous than alcohol. Despite his beliefs, Obama did not hint at the federal legalization of alcohol, but did tip his hats to the states that have made efforts to legalize the drug. Its important for a society not to have a situation in which a large portion of people have at one time or another broken the law and only a select few get punished, he confessed. What do you think of President Obamas comments? Is he a terrible role model? 
2	Badly Injured Iraqi War Hero Leaves Trump Campaign Speechless With STUNNING Message 44-year-old Iraqi war hero Staff. Sgt Bobby Henline has an incredibly story that went viral not too long ago. Henline suffered devastating burns and almost lost his life while on a mission north of Baghdad in 2007. Now, Henline is making headlines once again in his endorsement of Donald Trump and his offer to be a foreign policy adviser to him. I would definitely advise Mr. Trump, the veteran claimed. A good leader doesnt have to know everything. Nobody knows everything. Thats why you surround yourself with people who are experts in different areas. Thats what makes a good leader. Someone who can motivate the people like that. Henline then went on to express his support of Trumps suggestion to use waterboarding tactics as well. Trump is aggressive and that is good, Henline commented. In war, you have to do things you wouldnt normally do in life. This is coming from a man who travels the country to perform stand-up comedy so that he can raise money for veterans and increase awareness of post-traumatic stress disorder. Now, he wants to see a leader in the White House who will help take ISIS down once and for all. We definitely need boots on the ground, he concluded. I know they say we kicked out Saddam Hussein then lost control of the country and thats how ISIS was able to get in. But youve got to keep fighting. It takes time to win the hearts and minds. What do you think of Henlines comments? 
3	California Drought SpreadingChris Carrington The agency has five levels of alert with exceptional drought, the current level in California, listed as the most serious. The LA Timesreports: The drought is now in its third year and shows no sign of abating. To add to the problems, Californians facethe states water regulators have established new regulations that allow them to levy fines of up to $500 against those using water wastefully, while Gov. Jerry Brown has tried to drastically lower the states overall consumption of water. At the same time some people are being fined for not keeping their ever-shriveling lawns neat and green. California produces much of the fresh produced consumed in the United States, as well as topping the export market in some soft fruits and almonds. With farmers letting fields lie fallow some produce will be in much shorter supply than usual, and its likely that food prices will start rising before the end of the year.

3	Study finds hazardous flame retardants in preschoolsselfnews Post The study, to appear online Thursday, May 15, in the journal Chemosphere, was led by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and funded by the California Air Resources Board. Although many infants and young children spend up to 50 hours per week in day care, the study authors noted that this paper represents the first systematic review of flame retardants in early child care settings. The researchers covered 40 child care centers serving 1,764 children in Monterey and Alameda counties. The facilities were located in a mix of urban, rural and agricultural areas. The researchers collected air and floor dust samples when the children were present, and tested for 14 different PBDEs, or polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and four non-PBDE flame retardants, including tris phosphate compounds. The study found both PBDEs and tris phosphate compounds in 100 percent of the dust samples collected. Median levels of PBDEs were somewhat lower than those found in homes in other studies, but median levels of chlorinated tris were similar to or higher than household levels found in other studies. These findings underscore how widespread these materials are in indoor environments, said study lead author Asa Bradman, associate director of the Center for Childrens Environmental Health Research at UC Berkeley. A growing body of research has found links between flame retardants and a range of human health effects, including neurodevelopmental delays in children. Children are more vulnerable to the health effects of environmental contaminants, so we should be particularly careful to reduce their exposure to harmful chemicals. Old flame retardant resurfaces Of the facilities surveyed, 29 had upholstered furniture and 17 had napping equipment made out of foam. Facilities with foam had significantly higher concentrations of flame retardant chemicals than the centers without such equipment. In response to growing health concerns about these chemicals, California banned the use of two types of PBDEs in 2006. Furniture manufacturers also began phasing them out, but products made before the ban are still found in many buildings. The detection of the older class of flame retardants was more surprising. In the 1970s, UC Berkeley research by Arlene Blum, a postdoctoral researcher at the time, and Bruce Ames, UC Berkeley professor of molecular and cell biology, showed that brominated tris was a mutagen and presumed carcinogen. That work helped lead to the chemicals removal from childrens sleepwear. I remember learning about the tris phosphate flame retardants in kids pajamas when I was in high school 35 years ago, so its a bit surprising to still be seeing them today, said Bradman. They were never banned.There seems to have been a resurgence in recent years as manufacturers looked for PBDE replacements. Earlier this year, the California Department of Toxic Substances Control identified childrens foam sleeping pads containing flame retardants as one of three products considered harmful to consumers. Agency officials specifically cited nap mats, bassinets and infant travel beds as items that commonly contain chlorinated tris phosphate, a carcinogen and hormone-disrupter. Change in flammability standards could mean fewer chemicals New changes in state flammability standards may soon eliminate the need to use those chemical replacements. Previous regulations required the foam in consumer items to withstand a small open flame for 12 seconds without igniting. Blum, now executive director of the Green Science Policy Institute and a UC Berkeley visiting scholar in chemistry, noted that the old standard, known as TB117, did not help fire safety since it is the fabric covering the foam that needs to be fire resistant. The standard, she noted, had led to the extensive use of flame retardants in furniture and foam baby products without providing a fire safety benefit. Gov. Jerry Brown, presented with evidence that the flame retardant chemicals are linked to health concerns, ordered an update to the state flammability standard. The new regulation, TB117-2013, requires fabrics of upholstered furniture to withstand smolders, such as from lit cigarettes. It takes effect this year, and will be mandatory by January 2015. The new standard is not a ban on flame retardants, but manufacturers can meet it without using the chemicals, said Blum. Most upholstered fabrics, such as leather, are already smolder-proof. Consumers should verify that the furniture they are buying is free of flame retardants, especially when children will be exposed. Source: Other co-authors of the study include researchers from the Battelle Memorial Institute in Ohio, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the California Air Resources Board. 
3	Big Brother Pay-by-the-Mile Track and Tax Driving Scheme Being Rolled Out Now!By TSM Classic problem reaction solution. Although this is starting on a volunteer basis in Oregon, they are beta testing it before it becomes mandatory. Some 28 other states are currently working on similar plans, and the federal government has its own nationwide version as well. As weve said before, its like were living in the period just before every dystopic future movie youve ever seen (in this case, In Time immediately comes to mind). According to the official Oregon DOT website (myorego.org), this is a fair and sustainable way to fund road maintenance, preservation and improvements for all Oregonians. Check that site out and read between the lines. Just Wow. Guess well be a really efficient, sustainable society, but we wont be a very free one. Gas consumption (and taxes) are falling off because: Americans cant afford to drive when theyre unemployed because all their jobs got shipped overseas Americans are minimizing their financial support for oil companies that frack, pollute, and expect us to go to war to seize whatever they want Americans are hesitant to get out on the highways when any encounter with a berserk, unaccountable cop can turn deadly The per-gallon gas tax has always been fair because a vehicles wear-and-tear on the roads is highly dependent on its weight, as is its fuel consumption. Big trucks pound the roads to death, motorcycles have no effect at all. High-mileage vehicles are somewhere in between, at the low end. Electric vehicles will never be a significant percentage of traffic for one simple reason: the grid wont pull the load. If all the government wanted was to bring gas taxes and road maintenance costs back into balance, they could just hike the per-gallon tax within the existing fair system. They arent doing this because tracking us is the real goal. Tracking our every move wont correct any of the above reasons for not driving but *will* add another reason to stay off the roads. My driving has already fallen off a cliff compared to my lifetime annual average. If my state of Oregon makes this mandatory, I can make it my goal to drive even less. Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) black boxes were snuck in at the last minute to Californias Plan Bay Area. This will be another powerful tool to undermine rural / country life, and automobile use. Tracking us is just another piece of their picture. You hit this one on the nail. Here in NC a group of us are paying attention to our state legislators as we know there is a hidden agenda from the UN when you notice that almost every state in the nation is bringing up the same legislation i.e. mandatory vaccines. We have been taking petitions to Raleigh and stopping their agenda but know it will rear its ugly head down the road. Vigilance is the name of the game. Cant get much traction in DC so concentrate on local and state politics. We have also stopped or put on hold their Regionalism plans for now but know it will return. Local is where its at. Organizing gets us together with sharp, courageous folks that can think for themselves. Like you. How much money is being spent today on putting surveillance gear on our highways and roads? But if you are not aware, this will happen for all. The Federal DOT has a pending rule requiring automakers to put two way radios in all new cars. They want to turn all roads into toll roads, all the GPS gadgets,LoJack, built in cell phones, Bluetooth,and all the rest, will be used to track you. Not to mention the cameras at intersections, and everywhere else, to be used to track and tax. I know that you know that, no matter how long your trip logs remain up on the Azuga (kinda spooky how close that is to azucar, sugar in Spanish) website, those logs will live forever in the data center in Bluffdale, Utah. Darpa wants to know everywhere has been at every moment for their entire lives. Among many things People with older cars have got to be devastated that they dont have a plug in them for the device. Wah. Cute little shackles, fit so nicely around your wrists and ankles. Adorable heavy balls of metal with My Little Pony decals in pretty pink colors. Look at the whips they beat you with, so adorable and cute and fun as they rip into your flesh, splaying your hot blood across the walls of your prison. Isnt it so enjoyable to be exploited and beaten and broken? Squee! The true part of Agenda 21 is the Israel Plan. 
2	FBI Sides With Donald Trump In THIS Massive Way The first stage of 2016 presidential campaigns has been one of the most controversial weve seen yetand topping the list of liberal-infuriating candidates is businessman Donald Trump. Trump caused quite the stir during his campaign announcement a few weeks back, when he made some very blunt comments about Mexican immigrants. When Mexico sends its people, theyre not sending their best, Trump began. Theyre not sending you. Theyre not sending you. Theyre sending people that have lots of problems, and theyre bringing those problems with us. Theyre bringing drugs. Theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists. And some, I assume, are good people. Although Trump has received immense backlash, he has stood behind his comments, claiming that they are factually based. Now, and FBI report could prove him right. The FBI documented that gangs in Southwestern border regions (made up of 80% illegal aliens) have committed many crimes in America including drug-related crimes, weapons trafficking, alien smuggling, human trafficking, prostitution, extortion, robbery, auto theft, assault, homicide, racketeering, and money laundering. The statistics further prove that gangs are exploiting opportunities along the nearly 2,000 miles of contiguous U.S.-Mexico territory to commit these crimes. What do you think? Do you support Trump? 
1	Unemployment plummeted and stocks soared Tuesday after Republican leaders fulfilled their promise to cut funding for National Public Radio, a budgetary move that has completely rejuvenated the flagging U.S. economy. 'Since eliminating federal spending for NPR, America's economic outlook is brighter than it's been in decades, with manufacturing on the rise and millions of jobs once sent overseas now returning to our shores,' said Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL), adding that by eliminating funds for NPR, the deficit has been slashed by 0.000004 percent and a newly thriving middle class once again has cause to believe in the American dream. 'Pulling funding for Car Talk and Planet Money alone has created 4.2 million jobs and generated a $2 trillion budget surplus.' Republicans announced Thursday they will now turn their attention to cutting the National Park Service, a move that should ensure Social Security's solvency for the next 350 years. 
2	Kanye West Ignorantly Tries To Defend Obama, Fails Miserably... [VIDEO] Once again, rapper Kanye West has gone on a passionate rant about race relations in the United States. And once again, his arguments are completely ridiculous. According to West, Obama has been facing issues in the White House because black people dont have connections to rich people. Man, let me tell you something about George Bush and oil money and Obama and no money, West commented. 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. Black people dont have the same connection as oil people. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is Kanye just making excuses for Obama? 
2	Glenn Beck Completely Humiliates Obama In A Very Public Fashion Glenn Beck did not hold back the other day when he called Obama out for bringing lying to an art form on national television. Hes lied from the very beginning with the stimulus package, Beck told viewers. Hes been shoveling the last eight years. I think this bears repeatingnobody wants to believe the President of the United States is a liar. Nobody. It doesnt work out well. No one wants to say that about the president. Still, Beck claims that Obama has lied so frequently during his presidency, that hes almost impressed. The proof is readily available for anybody who cares to look, Beck told his viewers. And the fact is, the president is a special kind of liar because he can lie about things that have long been proven to be lies. Then he has the nerve to tell you to look up the evidenceThats what he did this week. Beck then pointed to criticisms of Obamacare before it even launched, claiming that all of these predictions had turned out to be wrong. You have to almost sit back in awe and say Oh, my gosh, he is an artist. He is a Rembrandt or the Monet of lies, Beck claims. He is so convincing, he may even have convinced himself! And I believe he has. But what a statement. Evidence be damned. All of the evidence is on our side, and he makes the opposite claim. But we have seen it before, repeatedly. Someone has to preserve the record, because they are changing out history, Beck concluded. If they say it enough, it will be recorded that way for all time and no one will know the truth. What do you think? Do you support Becks statements? Is Obama a compulsive liar?

2	Watch: What Whoopi Just Said About Orlando With A Straight Face Will Make You SICK On Monday, the panel on ABCs The View discussed the Sunday morning terrorist attack in Orlando. Instead of directing their conversation toward the jihadist killer, they focused in on Second Amendment supporters and Christians. Whoopi Goldberg was the first to bring up the tragic shooting, and the murder of singer Christian Grimmi on Friday. She asked co-host Raven-Symone what she thought about the two incidents. Where are the gun laws? Raven-Symone asked, after briefly praising Americas ability to come together after a tragedy. Joy Behar also chimed in, claiming that people on the U.S. no-fly list can still buy assault rifles. What is wrong with people in this country? she asked. Goldberg then went on to claim that Americans are misreading the Second Amendment and not understanding the Americans right to bear arms. The Constitution doesnt say you can carry hundreds of guns, she commented. It says you can protect your home, it says you can protect yourself. Goldberg then turned her attention toward the audience. All you people on Twitter that like to come after folks, back up, because you cant explain this. You cant explain this away she commented. Theres no reason for anybody to have a machine gunKeep your stuff to yourself. I dont care what you think. Back off me. I dont care. Goldberg ended by blasting Americans, calling them ignorant about the LGBT community. Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

The contrasting colors are awesome and really draw your eye into certain areas of the picture. I was initially drawn to the top right for some reason. Then I was drawn across the entire picture to the seal like figure. I then realized no seal would be in this outdoor scene. This one is really tough and it took me way longer than 4 seconds to find it. It shouldnt take someone with a keen eye that long. I will give you a hint. You are looking for a bird. It is a very well hidden bird, but a bird nonetheless. If I were to be walking around outside I would not have seen this bird. But since it is fixe din a picture I was able to finally spot it. It did take me about 15 seconds, but I eventually found the little guy. What drew me to where he was were the flowers (or the yellow stuff). It is the only color on the page and it really drew me in. Have you found it yet? No, dont worry it took me a long time to find it. I am going to tell you where to find it. It is on the right side near the yellow flowers. It is sitting right above them, but the bird blends in with the rock directly behind it. The bird also has the same texture as the rocks located higher up in the picture. I still see a seal to the left of the bird, but I know it is not a real thing. It just looks like the silhouette of a seal. How long did it take you? 
3	Syria Teeters on Obamas Red LineNile Bowie Spokesmen of the Assad government recently accused foreign-backed militants of launching scud missiles containing chemical weapons in the city of Aleppo, killing dozens. Witnesses claim to have seen powder emanate from the rocket, causing those who inhaled the substance to suffocate or require immediate medical attention. An unnamed chemical weapons expert cited by Al-Jazeera claimed that the causalities were not consistent with Syrias reputed stockpile of chemical agents, stating, If its a chemical warfare agent, its not working very well. Syrias ambassador to the UN, Bashar Jaafari, called on the UN Secretary-General to form an independent technical mission to investigate the use of chemical weapons by terrorist groups operating in Syria. While on his first state visit to Israel, Barack Obama cast doubt and expressed deepskepticismtoward the Assad governments version of events, stating that if the government did indeed use chemical weapons, then it meant a red line had been crossed. Obama vowed not to make further announcements until concrete facts were established. What this essentially means is that Obama is now in a position to act on his statements and intervene more boldly and directly than the United States has already been doing since the beginning of the conflict. Additionally, NATO personnel have also indicated that they are prepared to employ a wide range of operations. US-European Command Admiral James Stavridis recently told media that the alliance was prepared, if called upon, to be engaged as we were in Libya. The Obama administrations policy toward Libya and Syria eyes the same familiar endgame as what the Bush administration sought in its foreign policy adventures. The fact that many of those on the left who campaigned against Iraq and Afghanistan are now generally silent, or even supportive of Obamas agenda, is proof that his policies have been packaged far more intelligently for mainstream consumption. The reality is that Syria is Shock and Awe by other means. There are a myriad of reasons why Bashar al-Assad must go in the eyes of policy makers in Washington and Tel Aviv, and the destruction of his tenure could not have been possible without the financial muscle of Saudi Arabia and Qatars wretchedly opulent Sunni Monarchs. These glittering kingdoms of disaster-capitalism are not only responsible for supplying weapons and cash; a major incentive of theirs is exporting the Wahhabist and Salafist ideologies that many of Syrias imported jihadists subscribe to, a warped and primal interpretation of Islam that has fueled the sectarian nature of the Syrian conflict and deepened social divisions to their most dangerous point in a country that was once renowned for its tolerance of religious diversity. These Gulf kingdoms, which are more-or-less given a trump card to commit deplorable human rights violations institutionally, are also responsible for propping up the political arm of their militant foot soldiers, and that comes in the form of the Muslim Brotherhood. Syrias opposition coalition, which is itself entirely a creation of foreign powers, has recently elected its own interim prime minister enter, Ghassan Hitto, a virtually unknown political novice with a US passport and a computer science degree from Purdue University. Hitto is an Islamist Kurd with strong ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood has politically dominated the Syrian National Council since its creation, in addition to organizing tactical elements of the insurgency. The backbone of the Brotherhoods relationship with the medieval monarchies of the Persian Gulf is grounded in a firm opposition to Shia Islam, as extolled by clerical leaders in Iran and Lebanons Hezbollah; Assad himself is also an Alawite, an offshoot of Shia Islam. It should be clear enough by now how inflaming sectarian divisions in the region was a prerequisite for those bank-rolling the insurgency, aimed at demolishing the secular Syrian state. Several high-profile members of Syrias opposition coalition boycotted the vote for interim prime minister, citing what they viewed as a foreign-backed campaign to elect Hitto. Kamal Labwani, a veteran opposition campaigner, was reported as saying, We dont want what happened in Egypt to happen in Syria. They hijacked the revolution. Those who abstained from the vote accuse Hitto of being a puppet of the Muslim Brotherhood, and that the SNCs decisions were being dictated from the outside. Walid al-Bunni, another senior figure in the opposition, stated, The Muslim Brotherhood, with the backing of Qatar, have imposed their prime minister candidate. We will keep away if the coalition does not reconsider its choice. Lets just get this straight Assad, a leader whose presence today is a testament to the fact that he continues to enjoy majority popular support, is considered to have lost his legitimacy. On the other hand, Hitto, a man with no political experience who received 35 votes out of 49 ballots cast during a Syrian National Coalition meeting, is supposed to be legitimate representative of the Syrian people? These realities can only be interpreted as the boot of the so-called International Community squashing the face of the Syrian people, imposing on them a man who does not represent them, but the business interests of multinational corporations who seek to plant their flags in the soil of a post-Assad Syria. Lets not humor ourselves by thinking John Kerry, William Hague, Laurent Fabius or Qatari Emir Khalifa Al Thani actually care about the people of Syria. However many casualties the Syrian conflict has incurred thus far can be attributable to the influx of foreign funds, foreign arms, and foreign fighters. It would be intellectually dishonest to deny that the tactics of Bashar al-Assad and the Syrian Arab Army have also caused widespread civilian causalities and suffering. It is an enormous challenge for a state military to quell unconventional insurgencies of the sort carried out by militants in Syria when these battles take place in densely populated residential areas. One should not cynically credit Syrian government forces with intentionally killing their own people; this does not serve the purposes of the state in anyway. Civilian deaths that have occurred as a result of government forces engaging the insurgency should more accurately be seen as a heinous by-product of a foreign campaign to topple the Syrian government. While the foreign ministries of Western capitals cite politically charged death-toll statistics to justify their campaign against Assad the Butcher, it is absolutely unconscionable that Paris and London have called for lifting the Syrian arms embargo, and for vowing to arm militant groups with or without the consent of the EU. Apparently some seventy thousand people have been killed in Syria according to the United Nations, and these cited European states, which allegedly are so concerned about terrorism, want to dump more guns into Syria this is madness. Right on cue, Senators Lindsey Graham and John McCain are frothing at the mouth, urging President Obama to take immediate action and consider deploying troops. Graham was quoted as saying, If the choice is to send in troops to secure the weapons sites versus allowing chemical weapons to get in the hands of some of the most violent people in the world, I vote to cut this off before it becomes a problem. There is no surer sign of a pathological mind than when one credits others with the blood on their own hands. This article first appeared at Nile Bowies website.

3	UN Defends NATOs Premeditated Genocide in SyriaAs long-planned sectarian bloodbath unfolds, UN deceitfully labels atrocities as reprisals. As early as 2007, it was reported that the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia, together were not only organizing, funding, training, and arming militants directly linked to Al Qaeda to be used against Syria and Iran, but knew well in advance that by doing so, they would trigger an unprecedented cataclysmic conflict driven by sectarian extremism. Not only was such sectarian violence expected, it was desired ahead of redrawing a new map for the Middle East one that favored Western corporate-financier and geopolitical interests, while keeping the region weak, divided, and infighting. Now, the UN is feigning indignation over the inevitable, increasingly overt sectarian nature of the so-called Free Syrian Army and its so-called rebellion. Entire communities of minorities face extermination. To blunt the impact this will have on public opinion, UN special adviser on the prevention of genocide, Adama Dieng has preemptively stated: I am deeply concerned that entire communities risk paying the price for crimes committed by the Syrian government. According to Reuters article, U.N. anti-genocide envoy: Syria minorities face reprisal risk, the genocide NATO and its allies are arming, funding, and willfully fueling is merely reprisals. What Reuters doesnt report is that US, Saudi, and Lebanese officials had for years warned that US foreign policy, started under Bush and continued in earnest under Obama, would trigger this very sort of sectarian violence driven by Al Qaeda-style fanaticism, not reprisals. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Seymour Hersh writing for the New Yorker, wrote in his 2007 article, The Redirection: Is the Administrations new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism? that: 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. The Redirection, Seymour Hersh (2007) the Saudi government, with Washingtons approval, would provide funds and logistical aid to weaken the government of President Bashir Assad, of Syria. The Israelis believe that putting such pressure on the Assad government will make it more conciliatory and open to negotiations. The Redirection, Seymour Hersh (2007) Further admissions of a joint US-Israeli-Saudi conspiracy against Syria included: [Saudi Arabias] Bandar and other Saudis have assured the White House that they will keep a very close eye on the religious fundamentalists. Their message to us was Weve created this movement, and we can control it. Its not that we dont want the Salafis to throw bombs; its who they throw them atHezbollah, Moqtada al-Sadr, Iran, and at the Syrians, if they continue to work with Hezbollah and Iran. The Redirection, Seymour Hersh (2007) In regards to sectarian extremism in particular it was forewarned that: Robert Baer, a former longtime C.I.A. agent in Lebanon, has been a severe critic of Hezbollah and has warned of its links to Iranian-sponsored terrorism. But now, he told me, weve got Sunni Arabs preparing for cataclysmic conflict, and we will need somebody to protect the Christians in Lebanon. It used to be the French and the United States who would do it, and now its going to be Nasrallah and the Shiites The Redirection, Seymour Hersh (2007) Hezbollahs leader, Hassan Nasrallah was also featured in Hershs report and had also warned of imminent and spreading sectarian war purposefully stoked by the West: Nasrallah said he believed that President Bushs goal was the drawing of a new map for the region. They want the partition of Iraq. Iraq is not on the edge of a civil warthere is a civil war. There is ethnic and sectarian cleansing. The daily killing and displacement which is taking place in Iraq aims at achieving three Iraqi parts, which will be sectarian and ethnically pure as a prelude to the partition of Iraq. Within one or two years at the most, there will be total Sunni areas, total Shiite areas, and total Kurdish areas. Even in Baghdad, there is a fear that it might be divided into two areas, one Sunni and one Shiite. He went on, I can say that President Bush is lying when he says he does not want Iraq to be partitioned. All the facts occurring now on the ground make you swear he is dragging Iraq to partition. And a day will come when he will say, I cannot do anything, since the Iraqis want the partition of their country and I honor the wishes of the people of Iraq. Nasrallah said he believed that America also wanted to bring about the partition of Lebanon and of Syria. In Syria, he said, the result would be to push the country into chaos and internal battles like in Iraq. In Lebanon, There will be a Sunni state, an Alawi state, a Christian state, and a Druze state. But, he said, I do not know if there will be a Shiite state The UN once again is abusing its own self-appointed authority by excusing and spinning premeditated sectarian genocide designed to advance a documented conspiracy admitted to years ago. More recently, this conspiracy to destroy Syria through engineered and purposefully protracted violence was documented further by the very corporate-financiers themselves amongst the pages of reports turned out by their own policy think-tanks. The Brookings Institution in their Middle East Memo #21: Saving Syria: Assessing Options for Regime Change(.pdf), openly stated they sought to bleed Syria in purposefully protracted violence: The United States might still arm the opposition even knowing they will probably never have sufficient power, on their own, to dislodge the Asad network. Washington might choose to do so simply in the belief that at least providing an oppressed people with some ability to resist their oppressors is better than doing nothing at all, even if the support provided has little chance of turning defeat into victory. Alternatively, the United States might calculate that it is still worthwhile to pin down the Asad regime and bleed it, keeping a regional adversary weak, while avoiding the costs of direct intervention. pages 8-9, Assessing Options for Regime Change, Brookings Institution. The sectarian component of the current conflict is not an unexpected result of violence that began only in 2011, it was an integral part of the Wests foreign policy since 2007. The sectarian genocide in Syria was purposefully engineered by Western policy makers, and now is willfully covered up, spun, and excused by the UN and the Western mass media alike.

1	Assuring the nation that he was carefully monitoring the situation, President Barack Obama expressed his deep concern this morning after several hundred Syrian men, women, and children were discovered gassed to death overnight on the White House lawn. The use of chemical weapons on the South Lawn, or anywhere on the White House grounds, is unacceptable, and I strongly condemn these actions, read a statement issued by the president, which failed to acknowledge his previous stern warnings that any poison gas attacks on civilians within 400 feet of the Oval Office would cross a red line that would draw an international response. We have called on the United Nations to conduct a full investigation of the incident, and pending their findings over the upcoming weeks and months, the appropriate parties will be held accountable. For now, our thoughts and prayers go out to those innocent families down by the south fountain and jogging track who are grieving the loss of loved ones today. The latest attack comes more than two years into a bloody conflict on the White House grounds that has seen tens of thousands of Syrian civilians brutally massacred in the Rose Garden, the South Portico, and the Lincoln Bedroom. 
3	New LA Law: Homeless People Can Only Own A Trashcans Worth Of BelongingsBy Brianna Acuesta The new law allows police to even confiscate tents that are still standing on public property during daylight hours. Taking away a homeless persons shelter is not constructive, and in factonly makes them feel less secure in a time when they need a solid foundation to get back on their feet. This law is in response to LAs homeless epidemic, which has been on the rise recently, with an increase in 20% over just the last two years. These misguided approaches to homelessness have only served to increase the amount of homeless people in the city and make their quality of life that much worse. Homelessness is an issue that stems from greed and a disregard for the root causes of poverty, as many people that are homeless cannot afford housing first and foremost because rent is too high. As cities look the other way while buildings increase their rent prices, more people are evicted and end up on the streets. The only real solution for homelessness is to give peoplehomes. Initiatives have begun in other U.S. and international cities, such as Canada, that are attempting to reduce the amount of homeless people by first giving them homes and subsequently working with them to determine the best approach for getting them back on their feet. These programs offer a range of services, such as rehabilitation for drug addictions, therapy, and connections to job opportunities. Its programs like these that constructively help to end homelessness and poverty, not laws that try to restrict homeless people even more. Of course, cities could first assist by at least not taking away homes or apartments that are affordable by restricting developers from stripping away rent-controlled apartments, but the city makes more in revenue from high-priced living spaces and the people that occupy them. Just last year, 1000 rent-controlled apartments were taken off the market, triple the decline in 2013. One developer, Wiseman Residential, has single-handedly evicted 237 tenants from rent-controlled apartments in the last decade. Homelessness cannot be solved by disincentivizing being homeless, as there are root causes of poverty and homelessness that are being ignored and the majority of homeless people do not choose to live this way. Limiting their own belongings only strips them further of their individuality, one of the few things left as they live on the streets. Do you think LAs new law is cruel or justified?Comment your thoughts below andshare this article!

You have permission to republish this article under aCreative Commonslicense with attribution to the author andTrueselfnews.com What a horribly-written article. Who writes As though homeless people dont already own so few possessions? Who lets them get away with it? And its NUMBER of homeless people, not amount. If its countable even theoretically its number. So its number of stars in the sky, even though youd be hard-pressed to count them all. EDITOR, please! It doesnt matter about his grammar, its the message that counts. How do you feel about the homeless being restricted to a trash can full of belongings? I think there are more important considerations here than the grammar of the writer.. First and foremost, It is wrong to steal and that is what the police are doing when they take precious, badly needed possessions from people who have almost nothing, on behalf of powerful, well-to-do politicians and bureaucrats. Robin hood in reverse. Thats the system. And development is government control of land, on behalf of the wealthy, taking homes away from people who own them and affordable housing away from those who need it so badly. Thats the system. The establishment always win and the little guy always loses. The answer is a less powerful, smaller government. Electing Libertarians would be a good start. Did this article actually say give homeless people homes? Are people in touch with reality these days when they dream up zany solutions such as that? LAs law is undoubtedly going to do the exact opposite of what they hope to achieve. There can be no other result from oppressive government. Seems like the elites are trying to drive the homeless out of their stack and pack Agenda 21 cities and into the suburbs. Colorado DINO governor, John Hickenlooper (who also threatened to sue a CO town for voting to ban fracking near homes and schools), kicked the homeless out of Denver for the Democratic Convention that coronated Obama. A large surge of homeless people permanently relocated to the suburbs. There are now shelters for them in the far flung outskirts that smack of work camps, warehousing. Its a form of human sanitizing that might appear humane on the surface buts also creating a cage, and maybe a model for other groups. Very sad the root causes are never addressed, only magnified. The way things are headed and with the size of new apartments, the homeless will get a trashcans worth and non-homeless will get a dumpsters load. Thats right you people with homes. All of your trash better be able to fit in a regular sized dumpster. Because thats going to be the size of your new living quarters. 
2	VIDEO: Cartels Attack Border Volunteers, See How They Fight Back We all know that the government has done very little to properly secure the border, and American citizens have been forced to step up to protect the country first hand. These volunteers have been consistently patrolling the border in an effort to protect ranches and other private property from violence and vandalism by criminal cartels and other illegal immigrants. According to recent reports, Texas border volunteers have had the last straw, now that the Gulf Cartel has taken control of the region of Brownsville, and has even started leaving their initials in the sand or on walls along the border. Volunteers believe that these are a sign to back off. The group of volunteers claims that they are simply a band of concerned citizens, patrolling along private property. They also claim that they collect trash along their patrol routes every day, which helps them keep track of which are being used. However, the Gulf Cartel are not happy about the new efforts. Everything that crosses through this river is controlled by the Gulf Cartel, so by us being here we have hurt their pockets, said KC Massey, a spokesperson for the border protection group. We have seen them on the other side yelling obscenities at us, but we are not going anywhere. When we encounter traffic we go towards them and for the most part our presence is enough to push them back to the river. Should the government be protecting our borders, instead of citizens risking their lives? Watch the video below and tell us what you think. UPDATE: Sorry the video has been removed. 
2	Texas Signs Toughest Border Security Plan Ever, Right In Obamas Face In his six months in office, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been at the front of some seriously controversial decisions. So this week was no different, when he signed a very comprehensive border control legislation. Now, hes asking for federal reimbursement. Texas is willing to shoulder the responsibility, Abbott claimed, we expect the federal government to foot the bill. During his speech, Abbott went on to note that more than 20,000 gang members have been associated with cross-border traffic. He noted that it was Texas intention to dismember the gang operations that are causing havoc for the people of Texas. The bill also calls on law enforcement for support, and will establish a Child Sex Trafficking Prevention Unit. That measure, along with others, were pushed for by law enforcement themselves. We believe in what the governor is doing, and want to be a partner, Sheriff Andy Louderback of Jackson County told reporters. As Texas Sheriffs, we have been on the border doing the job for some time. 
2	Kerrys Shocking Action After Claiming Its Our Biblical Duty To Protect Muslim Countries During a speech on Wednesday, John Kerry, United States Secretary of State made the statement that we should be more focused on combating climate change in Muslim-majority nations. According to Breitbart, Kerry claimed that our responsibility to do such is laid out in the Bible, and specifically in the book of Genesis. Confronting climate change is, in the long run, one of the greatest challenges that we face, Kerry told his audience. You can see this duty or responsibility laid out in Scriptures clearly, beginning in Genesis. And Muslim-majority countries are among the most vulnerable. Our response to this challenge ought to be rooted in a sense of stewardship of Earth, and for me and for many of us here today, that responsibility comes from God. What Kerry fails to mention is the fact that terrorist groups like ISIS and al Qaeda are continuously carrying out brutal attacks in those same nations. What do you think of Kerrys comments? Watch the video below and let us know what you think. 
1	Despite waiting nearly a year for this Sundays return of the popular AMC series Breaking Bad, creator Vince Gilligan reported today that his own brain had nonetheless completely spoiled the television shows final season for him. I was really excited about seeing what was going to happen after Hank found out that Walt is actually Heisenberg, and to find out why Walt was in that diner alone in the season five flash-forward, but now thats all totally ruined, Gilligan said, confirming that his mind had not only revealed to him the entire plot of the season premiere, but also gave him a thorough scene-by-scene breakdown of every moment of the shows final eight episodes. The fucker totally ruined exactly what ends up happening to Walt, Jesse, Skyler, Hank, everyone! Not only that, but now I know the final scene, too. Gilligan later told reporters that all in all, he was kind of happy his brain spoiled the show because the ending sounded sort of shitty. 
2	Shariah Police Found Patrolling Outside Nightclubs, Asking People To Do Something Very Offensive According to reports, the German government has announced that it intends to take action against volunteer patrols who call themselves Shariah police. The group has been seen walking outside of nightclubs and train stations, telling the public not to drink or gamble. Shariah law is not tolerated on German soil, Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere told the German papers on Saturday. Nobody can take is upon themselves to abuse the good name of the German police. Others have supported the comment, stating that the state alone has the authority to enforce justice. However, the founder of the Shariah police claims that patrols only intend to raise awareness in Wuppertal, in hopes of spreading knowledge for Islamic traditions. Still, police are now pressing charges against those that they find wearing the groups uniform: an orange safety vest with the words Shariah police across the back. Now, some reports are saying that the group was actually founded by Sven Lau, former leader of the Islamist group Invitation to Paradise. Lau claims that the patrol doesnt officially exist, but was meant solely to draw attention. Still, the joke is not being taken lightly. Intimidation or provocation wont be tolerated, concluded Wuppertal Police Chief Birgitta Rademacher. What do you think? What would you do if you saw the group walking in your city? 
3	Articles of Impeachment Introduced to Oust Attorney General HolderLily Dane Rep. Pete Olson first called on the House to begin impeachment proceedings against Holder back in August for lying to Congress and refusing to uphold existing laws: During his tenure as Attorney General, Eric Holder has refused to prosecute IRS officials who admitted targeting Tea Party groups on ideological grounds, allowed a Border Patrol agent to be killed during Operation Fast and Furious, and named a member of the media as a co-conspirator in alleged violations of the Espionage Act while lying about it to Congress. The House voted to hold Mr. Holder in contempt of Congress last summer, before he committed perjury, and yet he continues to lie and thwart Congressional inquiries to provide the truth to the American people. The Attorney General has failed to ensure that the laws are faithfully executed and has failed to fulfill his oath of office. Since Holder wont resign, he must be impeached. I urge my colleagues to join me in calling for impeachment proceedings as soon as we return to Washington. On Wednesday, Olson, who drafted the articles, provided a statement to Reuters: This was not a decision that I made lightly. Since the House voted in 2012 to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt, the pattern of disregard for the rule of law and refusal to be forthright has only continued. An outline lists the four articles of impeachment: 2) Holder has not upheld our nations laws, undermining the authority and credibility of the Justice Department to the point that it can no longer be trusted by the American people to enforce the laws of the United States and uphold the U.S. Constitution. 3) Holder has failed to fulfill his oath of office by refusing to prosecute anyone involved in the IRS scandal, despite evidence that officials in Washington, D.C. were directing the illegal practice of targeting groups based on political affiliation. 4) Holder is believed to have committed perjury when he testified to Congress under oath about the DoJ investigation of Fox News correspondent James Rosen: In May, Holder testified to the House Judiciary Committee that he was not involved in, and had not heard of, a potential prosecution of a journalist by the Justice Department. Three days later, the Justice Department released documents related to the Rosen investigation that named the reporter as a co-conspirator in alleged violations of the Espionage Act. Internal Justice Department regulations require the approval of the Attorney General to investigate a journalist. Mr. Holder undoubtedly knew about the ongoing investigation of Mr. Rosen because he was required to personally sign off on it. Mr. Holder refuses to say if he did, and has gagged the Justice Department from answering as well. (source) It is not yet known if Speaker John Boehner or other House GOP leaders will act on the measure. Boehners office declined to comment and referred calls to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, whose panel would conduct any impeachment hearings against Holder. Politico reports that Goodlatte did not say if he plans to move forward with the resolution, but he did say that Holder should resign for the good of the Justice Department: Under Attorney General Holders watch, there has been a lack of leadership and a politicization of the Justice Department. Scandals from the Fast and Furious gun-walking operation to the seizure of reporters emails and phone records in national security leaks investigations have undermined the Departments credibility and the American peoples trust. Attorney General Holder has also politicized the rule of law by refusing to enforce laws he doesnt like. The only way to restore credibility at the Department of Justice is through an improvement in the quality of leadership. President Obama should make a change in the leadership of the Department of Justice to restore the confidence of the American people in our nations top law enforcement agency.

1	Actor Tom Gilbert, who for the past 44 years has portrayed the popular television personality Regis Philbin, announced last week he will be leaving the long-running morning program Live With Regis & Kelly, saying he has taken the beloved Regis character 'as far as it can go.' Gilbert The London-born actor told reporters that when he created the Philbin persona for The Joey Bishop Show in 1967, he never expected the character's spirited wisecracks and relentless energy to be so widely embraced by audiences. 'It was often exhausting being Regis, but I'm still going to miss talking in that Bronx accent every day,' said Gilbert, who has already begun to grow back his natural reddish-blond hair. 'Now I can finally devote my creative energies to my first love, the West End stage, which I've been away from far too long.' Producers of Live With Regis confirmed they are currently in talks to fill the role of Regis Philbin with actor Michael Zajackowski, best known for his work portraying TV's Noah Wyle. 
3	Black Seed - The Remedy For Everything But DeathSayer Ji, Contributor The seeds of the annual flowering plant, Nigella Sativa, have been prized for their healing properties since time immemorial. While frequently referred to among English-speaking cultures as Roman coriander, black sesame, black cumin, black caraway and onion seed, it is known today primarily as black seed, which is at the very least an accurate description of its physical appearance. The earliest record of its cultivation and use come from ancient Egypt. Black seed oil, in fact, was found in Egyptian pharoah Tutankhamuns tomb, dating back to approximately 3,300 years ago.[i] In Arabic cultures, black cumin is so known as Habbatul barakah, meaning the seed of blessing. It is also believed that the Islamic prophet Mohammed said of it that it is a remedy for all diseases except death. Many of black cumins traditionally ascribed health benefits have been thoroughly confirmed in the biomedical literature. In fact, since 1964, there have been 458 published, peer-reviewed studies referencing it. These 22 pharmacological actions are only a subset of a far wider number of beneficial properties intrinsic to the black seed. While it is remarkable that this seed has the ability to positively modulate so many different biological pathways, this is actually a rather common occurrence among traditional plant medicines. Our project has identified over 1600 natural compounds with a wide range of health benefits, and we are only in our first 5 years of casual indexing. There are tens of thousands of other substances that have already been researched, with hundreds of thousands of studies supporting their medicinal value (MEDLINE, whence our study abstracts come, has over 600,000 studies classified as related to Complementary and Alternative Medicine). Black seed has been researched for very specific health conditions. Some of the most compelling applications include: Sometimes the biblical reference to faith the size of a mustard seed moving mountains comes to mind in connection with natural substances like black seeds. After all, do seeds not contain within them the very hope for continuance of the entire species that bore it? This super-saturated state of the seed, where life condenses itself down into an intensely miniaturized holographic fragment of itself, promising the formation of future worlds within itself, is the very emblem of lifes immense and immortal power. Moving the mountain of inertia and falsity associated with the conventional concept of disease, is a task well-suited for seeds and not chemicals. The greatest difference, of course, between a seed and a patented synthetic chemical (i.e. pharmaceutical drug), is that Nature (God) made the former, and men with profit-motives and a deranged understanding of the nature of the body made the latter. The time, no doubt, has come for food, seeds, herbs, plants, sunlight, air, clean water, and yes, love, to assume once again their central place in medicine, which is to say, the art and science of facilitating self-healing within the human body. Failing this, the conventional medical system will crumble under the growing weight of its own corruption, ineptitude, and iatrogenic suffering (and subsequent financial liability) it causes. To the degree that it reforms itself, utilizing non-patented and non-patentable natural compounds with actual healing properties, a brighter future awaits on the horizon. To the degree that it fails, folks will learn to take back control over their health themselves, which is why black seed, and other food-medicines, hold the key to self-empowerment.

3	Sink Or Swim, Preparation Is Key: Observations From The SC FloodBy Brandon Turbeville As the flood crisis got under way, South Carolina saw its major cities inundated with so much water that city centers were unnavigable without a boat, coastal areas saw houses collapse, and both city and rural areas saw roads wash out completely. With dams bursting and bridges washing away, local governments, citizens, and emergency management personnel clearly had their hands full. Most of them, to their credit, did their jobs well enough with the resources they had, despite the violation of rights by some local administrations. Still, we can learn at least three lessons from the recent flooding in South Carolina. While this statement may come as basic common sense to the majority of my usual readers, such observations do bear repeating. Indeed, it is important to remind ourselves of just how unprepared we may be, even though we may be more prepared than most of the rest of the population. Many of those who are aware of the possibility of an economic collapse, general war, electrical grid failure, or simple natural disasters are aware through available literature of how human behavior will adjust to the new circumstances if a crisis takes place. Although much of what preppers are confronted with in terms of information often borders on the state of panic and fear, it is true that what is at first a tranquil community of friends and neighbors can very quickly turn into a violent mob and dangerous enemies fighting over finite resources. While the flooding did not turn out to be the Apocalypse or anything resembling Katrina, for many the days of rain was a very important learning experience on just how prepared they were for an emergency as well as how their neighbors will react in the same situation. As I already mentioned, there were a small minority of individuals who were prepared all along, because they had previously learned to stock up on essential items and tools for personal survival. These individuals are often called preppers by media outlets (mainstream and alternative alike) but, in reality, they are simply people who exercise a level of basic forethought in the manner that was once common behavior and not notable in any sense. These individuals were able to weather the storm in conditions ranging from basic temporary self-reliance to minor discomfort and inconvenience. They had a source of food, water, and shelter. They had a means to defend themselves if necessary. They did not require supplies after the fact. They were also a distinct minority. Most, despite the constant media warnings of impending floods, assumed that the storms would simply be akin to a strong thunderstorm, leaving a little water on the roads and a minor inconvenience. As photographs of Charleston and Columbia began being broadcast over the television, however, many started to realize that flooding was becoming a serious issue. As reports of roads washing out across the state and curfews being implemented by local governments, many began rushing to the grocery stores, box stores, and convenience stores to grab last minute supplies only to find themselves standing in long lines or driving from closed store to closed store for food and bottled water. Indeed, water was found to be in high demand as reports and rumors alike circulated suggesting that sewage was seeping into the water systems in some cities and that power outages may hinder the ability to readily access clean drinking supplies. Encounters at the gas pumps also became somewhat testy as many had neglected to fill up their tanks with gas prior to the storm and were now forced to jockey with each other as well as individuals coming from the next county over in search of gas for their vehicles and their generators. Credit and debit card systems went down. Exit routes from many places were eliminated when roads were washed away, bridges collapsed, or officials decided to close them for safety reasons. In some towns, ALL the exit routes were either closed or washed out, leaving anyone in the town stranded in place. Some, who had decided to risk the weather on I-95, were forced to pull over in the nearest town to wait out the storm, typically unprepared with nothing but small vehicles, no food, water, or cash. These individuals were locally known as I-95 refugees. Thankfully, while the floods were highly damaging in many areas, the result was not the apocalypse, nor was it anything resembling what happened during Katrina. But floods will happen again and, when they do, it is important to be prepared. Your preparation should cover the most essential items, as well as cover a longer-than-expected length of time. Indeed, whatever preparation you do now in the correct manner will be worth so much more when an actual event takes place. Thus, a short list of basic necessities to consider in the case of a flood is included below. It is by no means comprehensive but, from my experience, it will definitely keep you well ahead of even the half-prepared. Readers are encouraged to add useful tips in the comments section. Remember, purchasing goods for the winter in the summer and for the summer in the winter is usually a cheaper route than waiting until the requisite season has arrived. 1.) Storable Food and Water This does not necessarily have to be hundreds of dollars of worth freeze-dried food. It could mean something as simple as canned goods, Ramen noodles, and other foods that last a long time without requiring electricity to prepare. In fact, in a flood situation, canned goods are the safest bet since they are largely impervious to water over short periods of time. Bottled water or storable water jugs are a necessity. It is the great irony of the flood that, being surrounded by water, water is your most scarce asset. In addition to having storable drinking water, it is important to possess some method of water purification, whether it is a filter or some other device. In fact, it would also be prudent to keep some method of water purification that goes beyond mere filters. Water purification tablets, Life Straw, etc. will also be useful. 2.) Guns and Ammunition Lets face it. If the crisis continues, you will need to defend yourself as others reap the fruits of years of television watching when they should have been preparing. 3.) Propane and Propane Accessories A propane cooker, for short-term outages, can provide an avenue to cook all of the food that may be in danger of going to waste if the power stays out. Similarly, having iron cookware that can be used in tandem with a traditional grill or even over an open fire might eventually become useful. That is, if you can find dry ground amenable to building fires. 4.) Flashlights You will need light inside and outside of the house. Darkness falls quickly and one needs light by which to locate tools, find your way around, or even to travel if need be. 5.) Batteries Lots of them. And not just for flashlights. However, batteries have incredibly short lives when they are being utilized regularly, so the more the better. 6.) Medicines If you or a loved one rely on prescription or non-prescription medications, always do your best to save up and keep an extra supply of medication just in case. In a real crisis, medical centers may not be open and family practitioners/pharmacists will be in short supply. Regardless of whether or not someone needs a special medicine, basic medicines and a first aid kit should always be close at hand. 7.) Fuel If you know a flood is coming, fill up your gas tanks and your gas cans beforehand. After the storm, to do anything is always too late. 8.) Candles Eventually, batteries run out. Candles can provide steady light in the dark so flashlights can be saved for travel or emergencies. Lighters, needless to say, are vital as well. 9.) Waterproof Boots/Water Wear If you do anything outside of the house (or inside depending on the flood levels), you may find that you have underestimated the need to keep dry, particularly keeping your feet dry. Make sure to have a good pair of rain resistant boots, waders, and rain jackets on hand. 10.) Rain Gear Tarps, ponchos, and rain jackets will all come in handy in a flood. Heavy duty plastic wrap will also be valuable. Water-resistant bags and plastic containers that will float will be useful in some situations. 11.) Weather Radio It is important to keep track of the weather situation in the event of an adverse climate event. You will need to keep in touch with what is happening around you and what is coming. (Did I mention batteries???) 12.) Life Jacket Floods can come gradually or quickly. Keeping a life jacket on hand for each person in your party is important. You may never have to do anything other than wade in shallow water but why take chances? You may find yourself in a precarious situation that requires swimming, floating, or supporting someone else. Life jackets are gold in these situations, particularly if one of your party cannot swim, is weak, elderly, or handicapped. 13.) Small Boat If you are able, a small boat capable of rowing you to safety or, at the very least, acting as an oasis until the waters recede is definitely beneficial. 14.) Swimming Lessons It is a flood after all. Being caught in the middle of rushing or rising water is a death sentence if you dont know how to swim. Plus, it is the gift that keeps on giving. Swimming is useful for more than just saving your life during a flood. It is important to remember that you are never prepared enough. Believing that you are ready for all emergency situations is a sure sign that you are not fully ready. If you need help beyond this article in order to prepare for floods, winter storms, hurricanes, economic collapse, war, etc. you should do as much research on your own as possible, for free, online. There are numerous resources that will help point you in the right direction such as the prepping section at Natural Blaze. If all of the information you find online is too overwhelming, perhaps consider taking a class on the subject such as those offered by Ares Tactical Solutions.

Flooding was first on my list for buying a house. Good thinking! The problems in South Carolina pale in comparison to what those people in the Pacific Northwest will experience if they live anywhere near the Cascadian fault when an earthquake strikes. My grandfathers house was about 1/2 mile from the Black River, near New Zion. I worked a lot of summers on that farm in the 50s-60s. Even then, his house was up about 6-7 feet above ground. He said he knew what that river is capable of.

3	Marijuana Legalization Would Yield $60 Million for Colorado: StudyPaul Armentano Amendment 64, The Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act of 2012, allows for the possession of up to one ounce of marijuana and/or the cultivation of up to six cannabis plants by those age 21 and over. Longer-term, the measure seeks to establish regulations governing the commercial production and distribution of marijuana by licensed retail outlets. Colorado is one of three states (joining Oregon andWashington) where voters this fall will have the opportunity to substantively reform their states personal use cannabis laws. Four additional states Arkansas, Massachusetts, Montana, andNorth Dakota may also be voting on medical marijuanaproposals in November. According to the CCLP report, the enactment of Amendment 64 could result in an estimated: $12 million dollars of annual savings in criminal justice costs, $24 million in excise tax revenue; $8.7 million in state sales tax revenue, $14.5 million in local tax revenue, along with the creation of several hundred new jobs. According to an August survey from the firm Public Policy Polling, Coloradoans favor the measure by a margin of 47 percent to 38 percent. Independent voters most strongly back the measure (58 percent to 28 percent) while Democrats are also supportive (59 percent to 22 percent). By contrast, on 26 percent of Republican voters said they favored Amendment 64. A separate Colorado poll by Rasmussen Reports, published in June, found that 61 percent of state voters agree philosophically that cannabis ought to be regulated like alcohol or tobacco.

3	West Hangs Syrian-Style War Over Egypts FutureTony Cartalucci The report would also claim that a Free Egyptian Army was being prepared in neighboring Libya along the Libyan-Egyptian border, where the epicenter of heavily armed sectarian extremists from Al Qaedas Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) began NATO-backed operations against the Libyan government in 2011. While the Al-Akhbar article only cites unnamed sources, recent and escalating violence lends credibility to concern regarding a Syrian-style conflict fueled by foreign interests to destabilize and overthrow the current Egyptian sociopolitical order. The Syrian Connection The recent violence spearheaded by supporters of ousted Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, particularly his Muslim Brotherhood political party and its network of armed militant affiliates, is a cause of particular concern. It was the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria that began receiving cash and backing by the US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel as far back as 2007 in preparation for the ongoing armed conflict now raging across Syria for the past 3 years. In Reuters May 6, 2012 article titled, Syrias Muslim Brotherhood rise from the ashes, it stated: The Brotherhood was being directly backed by the US and Israel who were funneling support through the Saudis so as to not compromise the credibility of the so-called Islamic movement. Hersh revealed that members of the Lebanese Saad Hariri clique, then led by Fouad Siniora, had been the go-between for US planners and the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood. Hersh reports the Lebanese Hariri faction had met Dick Cheney in Washington and relayed personally the importance of using the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria in any move against the ruling government: The article would continue by explaining how already in 2007, US and Saudi backing had begun benefiting the Brotherhood: Clearly then, the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt which very vocally supported its Syrian counterparts, is benefiting from the same foreign backing that has devastated Syria, and stands poised to serve the same role the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood had played in 2011 in assembling, funding, and arming militant groups across Egypt via its well organized political machine. While many pundits and analysts attempt to portray the Egyptian military as an obedient and reliable client regime for the West, nothing could be further from the truth. The West and its Arab collaborators are attempting to diminish and eventually destroy Iran and its arch of influence stretching from its borders with Afghanistan to the east, across Syria in the West and up to and including the Mediterranean coast in Lebanon. The Egyptian military may be willing to make incremental economic and political concessions with the West to keep substantial aid flowing into its coffers, but is not willing to jeopardize the stability of Egypt and its very survival by serving as part of a sectarian front to fight Iran on the Wests behalf (and here). Rotten Carrot, Broken Stick VICE Magazine reported in an article titled, US Aid Returns to Egypt Amid Wave of Attacks, that: VICE would go on to report that military aid from the United States was eventually delivered after threats to cut it off after the ousting of Morsi by the Egyptian military. While VICE and other Western media outlets attempt to undermine the Egyptian militarys standing in the Arab World by suggesting the US is backing the new military-led government in Cairo, what this dual track policy represents in reality is military aid serving as the carrot while a NATO-backed Syrian-style terrorist campaign serves as the stick. The ultimate goal is to position the Egyptian military in such a way that it can be gradually undermined and removed from its long-standing role in Egyptian politics, just as has been done in Turkey and just as is being attempted in Thailand through the US-backed regime of Thaksin Shinawatra. In Egypt, the goal of installing a Muslim Brotherhood-led government and cultivating a culture of sectarian extremism, will expand the Wests ability to wage proxy wars beyond Egypts borders in nations like Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and eventually Russias Caucasus region and Chinas western most provinces. It is also, however, a goal the current government in Cairo wants nothing to do with. Taking the Carrot and Fighting Back Against the Stick The geopolitical influence of the West is in visible decline. Its stumbling victory in Libya, its failure in Syria, and its multiplying complications in Ukraine not only are undermining its allies confidence in various partnerships and alliances, but has changed the dynamics with which the Wests enemies respond to its traditional carrot and stick approach. Military aid in exchange for the Egyptian militarys abdication from politics and the radicalization, division, and destruction of Egypts existing sociopolitical order is a formula so unbalanced and lacking in incentives that it reeks of the Wests weakness. This ill-conceived formula, already failing elsewhere with vivid, cautionary examples for the government in Cairo to consider, failed before it even began on Egyptian soil. Cairos decision to move decisively against the Muslim Brotherhood and its network of militant affiliates before widespread conflict began indicated that the government was no longer concerned about opinions in Washington, London, or Brussels, nor with the combined influence of their respective media machines. Failure to curb militancy in fear of global public opinion would only lead to a window of opportunity to sow the seeds of a destructive and protracted Syrian-style conflict a conflict Cairo appears determined to prevent. Evidence of a Free Egyptian Army forming in neighboring Libya may be lacking, but the precedent, motivation, and will for the West to be backing such a conspiracy certainly are not. Egypts decision to disregard the opinion of a now waning West serves as a model for other nations being offered similar rotting carrots and broken sticks. Egypts future now depends on the perseverance of its leaders in Cairo persecuting a preemptive campaign against the Syrian-style war the West is now more overtly hanging over Egypts future.

2	Two Thugs Attack Pregnant Woman, So This Veteran Steps In And Serves Some SERIOUS Justice [VIDEO] If youre looking for another reason to support veteran heroes this video just provided it. According to recent reports, Joshua Anderson, a 29-year-old disabled veteran, made headlines after he defended a pregnant woman from two thugs. Anderson was walking on the beach when he saw attacker Brett Jowers push Zachary Slys pregnant girlfriend to the ground. According to Martin County Sheriff William Snyder, Anderson saw a woman being attacked at night, and he went to her aid. Snyder claims he believes that Anderson did the right thing by intervening. When the veteran told Jowers and Sly to leave the woman alone, they threatened to jump him. Eventually, he was forced to draw his concealed weapon. Anderson ended up shooting both men in the torso. You dont have an obligation to allow yourself to be attacked, the sheriff said, defending Andersons decision. What do you think? Do you support Anderson or did he take things too far? 
2	Russia Condemns Obama For Helping Create ISIS... Its All Over For Him Well, it turns out that Obama has ruined our relationships overseas to a worse extent than we even imagined. According to new reports, U.S. actions in the Middle East may have actually helped the Islamic State gain influence. Or at least, that is what Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has to say about it. According to the Russian leader, the strengthening of the Islamic State became possible partly due to irresponsible U.S. politics, which focused more on fighting Bashar al-Assad than participating in efforts to destroy terrorism. Earlier this week, President Obama claimed that Russia is facing a strategic choice and that Assad cant stay. Interfax also reports that the terrorist threat can only be fought together, and that the United States was indirectly responsible for September 11 by strengthening al-Qaeda. What do you think of the comments being made? 
1	Explaining that the measure is intended to protect politicians right to free expression against undue scrutiny from the general population, a new ruling implemented this week by the Federal Election Commission allows candidates running for public office to remain completely anonymous throughout the campaign process. Candidates should be able to make themselves heard without having their identities, personal associations, and records on the issues exposed in the public eye, said agency spokesperson Wayne Branson, adding that the new policy means congressional hopefuls can avoid being personally challenged on their agendas by opting to withhold their names and likenesses from all campaign material, television commercials, FEC filings, and public appearances. The fact that political candidates are no longer under any obligation to disclose who they are will ensure a freer, more open electoral process. It is our belief that elections should be about ideas and plans for the country, not about who is saying them, what that person looks like, what their background might be, if theyre qualified, or what motives they might have. Branson confirmed that elected candidates would then have the option to remain anonymous for the duration of their term.

3	UN Agenda 21 Still Advancing WorldwideBy Bruce Tanner What is Agenda 21? Quoting from the UN website: Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.(sic) Many have said that Agenda 21 is now outdated policy thats fallen into neglect. This is far from true. For example, among many other things, the slow-motion train wreck of our ongoing world economic collapse supports UN Agenda 21, and the UN conference on Post-2015 Sustainability Agenda coming this September is a clear reiteration. Apologists say that Agenda 21 is only Soft Law, a policy that has no teeth. But theyre lying. In 20 years, through stealth implementation, this plan has become embedded in local policies all over the United States. Its called Sustainable Development. Wherever you see it youll find The 3 Es: ecology, economy, equity. In the upcoming UN conference, where the Jesuit Pope Francis will be appearing to promote his recent encyclical, theyre being called People, Planet and Prosperity. Agenda 21 emerged full-blown from the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) aka The Rio Summit, in 1992. 16 to 17 thousand delegates, who were somehow given official status as officers of the UN, traveled from all over the world to take part in an 11-day party in Rio De Janeiro, where they were presented with Agenda 21, The United Nations Programme of Action from Rio, a more than 300-page document that they were asked to approve, though it seems unlikely that many of them could have had time to even read it. Unsurprisingly, they voted to accept it, and it was suddenly official United Nations policy for the world. I recently spoke with a delegate to Rio from Santa Cruz, who took exception to the way Ive characterized the Rio Summit above. After more than 20 years, she entirely believes that the document was created by agreement at Rio, that its ideas and principles are unimpeachable, and that it has only been improved on since then. This is the genius behind the ways this program of worldwide social engineering has been rolled out, as well-meaning people are enrolled as supporters through poetic-sounding but fuzzy phrases, pledges of concern for the masses of humanity, and clever misdirection. In fact, the Agenda 21 document was largely a creation of Maurice Strong, a mysterious man with a double-tracked career as both a high official at the UN, and as a billionaire financial insider extracting the Earths resources in the petroleum and mining industries. Strong first took the world stage prominently as Secretary General, a title the UN, for whatever reasons, adopted directly from communist and socialist organizations, of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm in 1972. Strongs very scant bio on Wikipedia says that he met a leading UN official in 1947 (when Strong was just 18) who arranged for himto serve as a junior security officer at the UN headquarters in Lake Success, New York (before the new UN building was built on land donated by the Rockefellers in Manhattan). Just one year later, Strong became a trainee in a high-powered brokerage in Canada, where he took an interest in the oil business, and was transferred to an office in the Alberta oil patch. There he was quickly hired as an assistant to an oil-industry leader, Jack Gallagher All while maintaining his connections at the UN. In 1971, before the conference in Stockholm, Strong commissioned a report on the state of the planet, entitled Only One Earth: The Care and Maintenance of a Small Planet. The report summarized the findings of 152 leading experts from 58 countries in preparation for that first UN meeting on the environment. This was the worlds first state of the environment report. Following the Conference, Strong became the Chairman of the new United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), until 1975, and served as a member of the Brundtland Commission (below). The 1972 conference was followed by several other major conferences as well as sets of meetings all over the world laying out the shape of this emerging globalist agenda. Despite the elusive nature of this long process and the ways it has remained under the radar of the mainstream media, it has somehow remained on track with constant reiterations. In 1976 there was the UN Conference on Human Settlements which produced a Declaration containing 26 principles concerning the environment and development, an Action Plan with 109 recommendations, and a Resolution. Here is an excerpt from the Conference Preamble: Landcannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also the principle instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth, and therefore, contributes to social injustice; if unchecked, it may become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation of development schemes This preamble is followed by 65 pages of very specific land use recommendations. Among the many recommendations are: A-1) Redistribute population in accord with resources, D-1) Government must control the use of land to achieve equitable distribution of resources, D-2) Control land use through zoning land-use planning, D-3) Excessive profits from land use must be recaptured by government, D-4) Public ownership of land should be used to exercise urban and rural land reform, and D-5) Owner rights should be separated from development rights which should be held by a public authority. Then, in the fall of 1983, the 38th Session of the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution to create a commission to propose long-term environmental strategies for achieving sustainable development to the year 2000 and beyond (emphasis added). Gro Harlem Brundtland, former (and later) Prime Minister of Norway and Vice President of the Socialist International (sometimes called the cradle of globalism) was appointed to chair the commission. In her forward to Our Common Future, the 400-page report from what would become known as The Brundtland Commission, she wrote, A global agenda for change this was what the World Commission on Environment and Development was asked to formulate. It was an urgent call by the General Assembly of the United Nations With this conference, the term sustainable development first appeared. Its from this long-term plan which emerged 20 years before the 1992 Rio Summit, that the many seemingly friendly terms such as Sustainability, Smart Growth, Resilient and Walkable Communities, and High Density Urban Mixed-Use Development come. It seems like no one had never heard these phrases 10 years ago but that now theyre everywhere we look. Among other key terms are: Equity, Affordable Housing, Consensus, Social Justice, Human Settlements, Watershed, Facilitator, Best Management Practices, Outcome Based Education, Habitat Restoration, Quality of Life, Benefit of All, Public/Private Partnerships, Common Good, Collaborative, Inter-disciplinary, Stakeholder, School to Work, Visioning, and the all-important Regional. If you see these terms, particularly in combinations, you can be sure youre looking at language dedicated to implementing this agenda. In 1992, 172 governments attended the Rio Summit, with 116 sending heads of state. There were also 2,400 people from UN-connected NGOs. Then President George HW Bush was there on Prince Charles yacht, where he signed the Agenda 21 document with absolutely no legal standing to do so. In 1993, shortly after Bill Clinton took office, Nancy Pelosi helped, with 33 original cosponsors, to introduce legislation to implement Agenda 21. The bill passed the house, but was stopped in the Senate. But with clearly international pressure to advance the program, in June 1993 Democrat Clinton created The Presidents Council on Sustainable Development which has placed Sustainability Officers in every federal department and agency since then. This has resulted in administrative regulations enforcing Agenda 21 policies as (possibly fraudulent) hard law, and in huge distortions in federal funding that have forced States to adhere to federal dictates. An international treaty, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), was also presented at the Rio Summit for signing, and was eventually brought to the U.S. Senate for ratification in 1994. At first, it looked like it would pass, but at the last hour, text from a book Global Biodiversity Assessment (GBA), which was not to be published for another year and a half, was leaked to staff of Senators, along with the now well-known Biodiversity Wildlands Map, which showed graphically the plan to move Americans off the land and into dense human settlement zones. The Convention wasnt ratified, while the MSM reported that the GBA book did not exist. Congress has, so far, refused to implement Agenda 21 as policy for the United States of America. But it has been advanced by Presidential edicts. The End of Natural Property Rights UN policy on land has been clear since the 1976 Conference on Human Settlements. Its preamble on land quoted above continues: Social justice, urban renewal and development, the provision of decent dwellings and healthy conditions for the people can only be achieved if land is used in the interests of society as a whole. Public control of land use is therefore indispensable to its protection as an asset and the achievement of the long-term objectives of human settlement policies and strategies. This makes obvious the position of the UN policy makers that private property is now to be considered as a social asset to be controlled by the public. The exact nature of this public is, however, not clear. The Fifth Amendment of the Constitution says, No person shall be deprived of property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. But the UN Declaration of Human Rights, Article 17 Sec 2 says, Property shall not be arbitrarily taken. This is a crucial difference. Somehow the public can take private property from you, as long as its not done arbitrarily. Santa Cruz County seems to have been targeted for early implementation of Agenda 21. Two years before Agenda 21 was unveiled in 1992, the voters of the County passed Measure C, The Decade of the Environment containing many of the key tenets of the UN Program, and which has been reaffirmed every ten years by the Board of Supervisors, and is reported on regularly by the Planning Department. The Supervisors also fell into step with the Agenda in 1993-94 when they officially approved the process of the Sustainable Santa Cruz: Local Agenda 21 100-page planning guide created by Action-Santa Cruz County and the Santa Cruz Chapter of the United Nations Association. This type of document was directly called for in Agenda 21 itself In Chapter 28, Local Authorities Initiatives, the first objective listed is (a) By 1996, most local authorities in each country should have undertaken a consultative process with their populations and achieved a consensus on a local Agenda 2I for the community Of course, this directive was unknown in most of the rest of the U.S. In our society the direct taking of peoples properties is, so far, unacceptable to most people. What has happened instead, certainly in Santa Cruz, is the use of permitting processes, zoning and taxation, including the infamous Red Tags, to gradually take away the productive use of their land from property owners without compensation. Though a relatively small county, Santa Cruz has, after LA County, the second-largest planning department in the State. There are currently thousands of red tags on record here, and, according to some counts, hundreds of owners have been forced off their properties, which have, in many cases, been transferred to insider Private Partners through practices many say are corrupt. Frequently, after the new owner appears, zoning is changed or permits are issued for new uses. It is getting increasingly hard to get permits for single family homes, while permitting is easier to get for High Density, Mixed Use (typically floors of small apartments above retail spaces of questionable utility AKA Stack n Pack housing). The Santa Cruz Supervisors are in the process of creating a new tax to fund this high-density Low Income housing through an Affordable Housing Assessment on all new construction, including additions, in the County. This will raise the cost of building a house by perhaps tens-of-thousands of dollars. International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives or ICLEI (pronounce Ick-ly) is a UN NGO that had its founding meeting in 1990 in the General Assembly chamber at the UN building in Manhattan. ICLEI staff wrote one of the chapters of the Agenda 21 document, under the direction of Maurice Strong. Santa Cruz City and County have both been members of ICLEI since its inception, though this has been made as obscure as possible by local officials over time. ICLEI works to bring top-down policies from the UN globalist agenda to local communities under the guise of being guided by its membership. ICLEI was directly involved in the creation of California bills AB 32 and SB 375, mandating severe ongoing restrictions on our greenhouse gas emissions in the name of the heavily-pushed and yet highly questionable theory of global warming caused by CO2. ICLEI was then hired by hundreds of cities and counties in California to help them draft the Climate Action Plans mandated to help reach the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Goals set in AB 32. This is a serious conflict of interest violation by this formal arm of the UN. Regionalism Regional governance is a concept that has been advancing in the U.S. since World War II. Regionalism has been extended across America primarily through executive presidential action, including Nixons creation of multi-state Federal Regions, and through confusing provisions of Congressional Acts which require the action of Regional Planning Agencies or Councils of Government (COGs) in order to secure the more and more essential federal funding needed for major public works. Regional Agencies are composed of appointed officials from all levels of local government, and are not subject to direct input by voters. Our local COG is the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG), founded in 1968, two years after the U.S. Model Cities Act set up the framework for AMBAG to be a funding conduit. The COG for the nine Bay Area Counties is ABAG, the Association of Bay Area Governments. ABAG, is working with ICLEI to create the One Bay Area program. One Bay Area is a major initiative to promote the top-down plan to implement Agenda 21 around the San Francisco Bay. This plan for a region containing 7.5 million people, is designed to entirely remake the region in the image of Smart Growth, high-density housing and government transportation planning. Over the next 20 years 630,000 new residential units are projected by ABAG. ALL residential construction specified by the plan is be multi-family housing. 80% of this housing must be within mile of the plans designated transit corridors (permits will not be granted outside these zones). One corridor, the El Camino Real, running from San Jose to San Francisco, will be transformed into a series of government controlled Stack n Pack smart growth developments. The plan is that all private vehicles will be banned from what is to then be called The Grand Boulevard. Through the ABAG COG, the federal government has committed more than 300 billion, mostly highway tax dollars to this Plan Bay Area. Locally, something similar but more modest is being proposed under the newly rechristened Sustainable Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Plan, where the eventual centerpiece will be a widened Soquel Drive Corridor from Dominican Hospital to Aptos, where hundreds of units of Stack n Pack housing will be built, close to planned public transit to include the much ballyhooed Rail Trail and possible train service. As part of enrolling us into this planned sustainable development, public consensus meetings have been held regularly by the Planning Department and Sustainable Santa Cruz County for the last few years. Recent Advances in the Globalist Programs for Sustainable Development In 2015 we are seeing two major events to promote and re-energize global population control, and a very curious confluence of globalist social engineering and the Roman Papacy. From Sept. 25 to 27 the UN will be holding its Post-2015 Sustainability Agenda conference at its New York headquarters, accompanied by an appearance of Pope Francis doing a formal presentation of his monumental ecologist encyclical Laudato Si (praised be). This conference is a clear extension of the Millennium Summit in 2000. Instead of the 8 Millennium Development Goals set there to be realized by 2015 (none have been), we are being given 17 this time, to be done by 2030. I will only share Goal 17 Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development. Suffice it to say that The Agenda for the 21st Century slogs on. Then, from Nov. 30 to Dec. 11 in Paris, France, will come the massive propaganda onslaught of COP21, billed as The UN Climate Conference. Actually, COP stands for Conference of the Parties of the Kyoto Accords, so its interesting to see the event subsumed under the UN. While even the 2014 IPCC report, in its section on the real climate science, admitted that there has been no significant warming of the planet for the last 15 years or so (despite the desperate pleas of upcoming disaster contained in the reports summary for decision makers), we are now being lobbied relentlessly about climate change by the corporate media (and NPR) to prepare us for a draconian carbon suppression regime they hope to create at this conference. Any carbon taxes arising at this 12-day event are rumored to be, for the first time, going directly to the UN (a credible United Nations). Ill briefly touch upon the apparent synchronicity of Pope Francis encyclical with the huge world effort to push the United Nations. While its easy to see why many people find some of the ideas expressed in it to be moving, even poetic, to me they seem rather diffuse and confusing. More than that, the Popes focus on pushing the need to respond immediately to a posited climate crisis and to problems eerily like those driving UN sustainable development, is quite striking. Some in the climate reality community are elated that the spiritual force of the Popes message may put their quest for a serious solution to carbon pollution over the top. If so, it will have been very convenient. Bruce Tanner is a researcher, writer and videographer on deep politics, deep history and the structural nature of the (non-existent) ego. He and his wife Cynthia live in Santa Cruz, where they organized the local THRIVE Solutions Group. You can read more of his work at The Real Truth Blog. This is a very good article, VERY informative. People need to wake the hell up before it is much too late! Great piece, strengthens the hypothesis that as the early US Agenda 21 test bed, California has been deliberately targeted with geoengineering induced drought to expand the control grid. On a side note, Patrick Wood notified his readers that among the popes recent efforts to support global governance, he referenced the word Technocracy but in a highly deceptive manner tantamount to disinformation to create an air of confusion. Agenda 21 is the main thrust to establish Technocracy and the climate change psy-op is the battering ram. Open Letter response to Pope Francis Encyclical of omission about global climate change. https://ourgreaterdestiny.wordpress.com/2015/07/27/citizens-worldwide-compel-pope-francis-to-disclose-geoengineering-impact-on-global-climate-change/ De-population according to UNA 21and the ICLEI is soon coming. De-population will come from environmental degradation and resource wars as a result of efforts to concentrate wealth and property. Societies which achieve economic security (Europe, Japan, the high income nations) all voluntarily reduce birth rates to replacement or below replacement levels. Voluntarily. Societies which are impoverished by the concentration of wealth and property by the ruling classes breed like rabbits. The solution is to promote policies which protect the environment, green energy to end resource wars, and economic policies of shared prosperity, all of which work together to create societies which voluntarily reduce the birth rate. It is not about killing off billions (who today are being destroyed through hunger, lack of clean water, etc caused by ruling class greed) but about ending the concentration of wealth and property and creating strong, free communities based on shared prosperity and environmental protection. Agenda 21 provides voluntary proposals to meet this goal. It is demonized by those who either want to protect their theft and destruction of the commons, or the useful idiots they brainwash with propaganda. Dale, your heart seems to be in the right place. But your head needs a little more of a workout. If you think that the Obama-Agenda 21-NWO agenda is about voluntarily reduced birth rates or voluntary ANYTHING you just havent looked more closely at that agenda. It is the agenda of totalitarian dictatorship. Plain and simple. But then, maybe you already know that. Agenda 21 is a set of proposals, which cities, states, nations are free to adopt, as they can any proposals. It has nothing to do with totalitarian dictatorships. Clintons Executive Order #12852 (in 93 the year after the Rio Earth Summit) At this stage of the game, its not; what is Agenda 21? Agenda 21 was conceived by the greedy ruling class, as you call them. Something is wrong in that logic ! Do you think the ruling class is promoting restraints on their own concentration of wealth? There is something wrong with that logic.. Im sure you must have heard of deception.. Its an ancient technique. Yes, as you have been deceived to think a non-binding voluntary set of proposals is a demon plan to create a totalitarian dictatorship. I have never said that Slaves, by definition, are not volintarily (sic). Agenda 21 proposals are suggestions that can be adopted, piecemeal if desired, by various levels of government. No one is forced to adopt any part of it. It is not a law but a set of suggested actions. Slavery is compulsion, the opposite of slavery. There were no happy slaves; no one is happy having their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness crushed. The freedom to adopt a proposal is the opposite of slavery. Slavery is when the very wealthy concentrate the ownership of wealth and property and force everyone else into debt slavery to survive. Agenda 21 suggests plans, from educating women to protecting the environment, which will liberate communities from this kind of private tyranny. For instance 85 billionaires own more wealth and property than 3.5 billion people, who live on a few dollars a day, with millions starving to death. That is the evil Agenda 21 proposals are meant to replace. Your city may choose to adopt some of themyou can speak up for or against. That is freedom, not slavery. These are not suggestions that general public gets to agree to or reject, Agenda 21 is being implemented without public discussion or opinion.I read some state actually outlawed Agenda 21 not sure which one.Agenda 21 is part of the communistic agenda takeover of the UN.UN is basically owned and operated by Rothschild and central bankers so there is no doubt it is bad for mankind and good for the elites You are factually wrong. Your paranoid fantasies about the UN are tragic. Agenda 21 is a completely non-binding international framework for sustainability passed in 1992 at the Rio Earth Summit. The framework, which sets out very loose aspirational goals for making communities more efficient and less carbon-intensive, was signed by then President George H.W. Bush and later upheld by Presidents Bill Clinton and President George W. Bush. Since the framework was adopted, right-wing conspiracy theorists have pushed bizarre theories about Agenda 21 being a central tool for the United Nations to create a one-world government and take away the rights of local property owners. In recent years, elevated by the megaphone of extreme pundits like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, these conspiracies made their way into mainstream politics. Today, Agenda 21ers many affiliated with theTea Party and the John Birch Society are peddling fears about Agenda 21 in order to stop basic efficiency and renewable energy programs on the state level. Conspiracy theorists active in politics have called Agenda 21 socialism on steroids that would cause Americans to be herded into centers like the UN wants. thinkprogress In fact, the Agenda 21 language explicitly states that countries and local communities have the sovereign right to exploit their own resources pursuant to their own environmental and developmental policies. Does that sound like a UN totalitarian dictatorship? The Republican Party has adopted a resolution: The Republican National Committee recognizes the destructive and insidious nature of United Nations Agenda 21 and hereby exposes to the public and public policy makers the dangerous intent of the plan. Do you think the Republican Party, which serves the ruling class, might have an interest in demonizing a program which seeks to reverse the concentration of wealth and property? If the ruling class is behind Agenda 21, why is the party of the ruling class trashing it? I dont think you can give rational answers, because there arent any. You are just a sadly brainwashed member of a paranoid cult, whose brain has been hijacked by cynical propagandists trying to make you believe a non-binding, voluntary set of proposals for making a sustainable world is a UN plan for a totalitarian dictatorship. Dalton your are right. i think this Dale Ruff is an internet troll paid to spread disinfo.. None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe I totally agree with Goethe: those who false believe the wealthy are behind AGenda 21, which is based on constraining the private concentration of wealth and property, oppose it, for obvious reasons. But the gullible have been brainwashed to think the rich support a program which would redistribute their wealth. They fear a totalitarian dictatorship of a non-binding voluntary set of proposals, based on appealing to their paranoid fantasies, without realizing that the wealthy are using the to build opposition to these proposals, which threaten their right to own more and more property. . The strings being pulled are those of the corporations which have the wealth to buy politiicans, hijack government, and mount massive propaganda efforts. Agenda 21 is a voluntary set of proposals to constrain the concentration of wealth and property. Of course the wealthy oppose it, and they use gullible citizens and the Republican Party as tools to make sure that their right to concentrate more and more wealth and property is not threatened. The truth will make us free; the truth is, Agenda 21 is a challenge the elites who own the world, and that is why they oppose it, These billionaires (the elite) are the ones pushing Agenda 21. Do you really think they care about starving people, when they are the reason they are starving.?????Do your research man, you are one of the brainwashed if you believe Agenda 21 is a good thing. Obviously you have not read it or understand its ramifications. I think you are wrong. Billionaires who own most of the wealth and property are not going to back proposals which locate the problem to be solved in the concentration of wealth and property. They are opposed to any proposals which would constrain their concentration of property or redistribute wealth or land or resources. That is why the Republican Party, which represents the Koch brothers, Adeleson and wealth in general is opposed. Agenda wants to put limits and contstrain the concentration of wealth and property, so it makes no sense for those who have the wealth and property to support it. They in fact (or most of them) oppose it and have planted these concepts which demonize it as a totalitarian dictatorship. I know you have been told they support it, but why would the wealthy support a program whose agenda is to restrain the concentration of wealth and property? They dont: they oppose it. The Republican Party, which is funded by wealthy donors, passed a resolution in Congress condemning it. Think it through: why would the rich be against a program to refrain them from concentrating more wealth and property? Sorry but you have it comletely backwards. These billionaires I am referring to are the globalists/nobles/royal bloodlines who sit on the board of the UN and the Trilateral Commission and other global organizations with no electorate whatsoever and make all the rules and policies with all the world governments..The have their puppets in every government in the world making sure that policies are passed to further their agendas. Agenda 21 was hatched out of the United Nations board of globalist rulers and is being funded through all of their NGOs (like Ikeli) Sierra Club etc. to implement the agenda incrementally over time so it is not too overt and people are unaware of the true nature of what they are being sucked into. Oh and by the way, these people are evil and insane and have been wanting full spectrum dominance over the planet for centuries. it is passed down through their bloodlines. Do the research, because by your comments It is evident that you are missing alot of information critical to your viewpoints and the ooutcome of your understanding. It is a very deep conspiracy and will take copious hours/years/decades of research to understand it completely. I have been a geopolitical researcher for more than 20 years and believe me, I wish it was a different outcome but the truth is what I was looking for and it is not pretty. It is a heinous, evil plot. I even wonder if these people are human? They want to depopulate the earth by90%. They believe the world can only sustain 500million people. Look up Georgia Guidestones which is a testament to their beliefs. Amen! The global elite want the world population below 1 Billion. Them and their servants and factory workers. If your unable to service them, off to the Kevorkian Klinic you go!. Explain to all of us here why the United States has 15k guillotines stored in 2 different locations in the States and all of the huge stock piles of plastic coffins that can hold multiple bodies also stock piled. Please educate us. All of this info freely available online and via videos online. Seriously, dont believe everything you read. Is this part of Agenda 21? hahahahahahaha Shouldnt you be under a bridge, waiting to extort those that wish to pass? Troll. You are a terrible troll. Youve managed to convince zero people of your bs lies and wasted your own time in the process. How much are they paying you to be a bottom feeding disinformation spreading parasite? Laugh now while you still can. My hands are clean. Your blood is on your own head. My duty is done here. I am laughing at your absurdity. You are brainwashed by people about whom you know nothing. I remain unbloodied. Gee, Dalespeaking of useful idiots brainwashed with propaganda.you might want to take a good long look at yourselfit seems you might have been drinking too much of the fluoride laced kool aid.the UN was set up by and is run by Rothschild/Rockefellers and the whole Luciferian black magicians.it is set up to serve their interests.these are people who are hoarding trillions of dollars just like the Vatican..you will never find them spending a penny of their loot to improve the planet.they are the raiders and looters..they are the true parasites on earthcunning men, evil men Dalton, I use flouride free toothpaste. Your paranoid right wing fantasies about Agenda 21 raise a few question: if Agenda 21 is a diabolical plan by the ruling class to create a global dictatorship by the UN: I await answers based on logic and evidence to these questions. Societies which are impoverished by the concentration of wealth and property by the ruling classes breed like rabbits. boy, you are a fountain of knowledge! You keep talking about the voluntary proposals of Agenda 21, but do you know that these policies are actually hard law, at least by regulations (and with the TPP, TISA and TTIP the corporate, i.e. Ruling Class control over the world population will increase by leaps and bounds) all over the world now. Do you recognize that all of these ideas and policies are lied about on a daily basis in the (Ruling Class controlled) main-stream media, year after year, to the point that most people know nothing about it but these lies? If I didnt know better, Id almost suspect that youre part of this ubiquitous onslaught of dissemblance. Why dont you try digging into exactly what this Ruling Class is and how they work? You might find out that they deliberately determined years ago to use ecology, environment, global warming, etc. as a way to convince us that The real enemy then is humanity itself (The First Global Revolution, Club of Rome like the UN, Rockefellers involved 1991, p.75). The solution is as its always been. Keep buying guns ammo and get to know your neighbors. Thats the ultimate deterrent to all this garbage. You think your guns will protect you from the banks when they take your property? Do you think protecting the environment and opposing concentration of property in fewer and fewer hands is garbage. . Since homes with guns have nearly 3 times as many gun deaths as homes without, you will just end up destroying yourself. Come try and take it! Many will die before it happens! My property is fully paid for, but I live rural and part of your commie agenda 21 bullcrap is forcing everyone off rural properties and into monster cities. So go F yourself! And no homes with guns do NOT have 3 times as many gun deaths, that study has been debunked multiple times. You are spouting the new dem socialist talking points that are LIES Now go spout your crap over on media matters or some other commie lover site The study by the Harvard School of Public health showing the gun deaths in homes with guns is 2.7 times more than homes without has been peer-reviewed, both pre and post publication, and there is no peer-reviewed research which debunks it. This is based on FBI data..not dem socialist talking points which you invent to keep you from facing the truth. Peer-reviewed research is the gold-standard of knowledge, which you dismiss with lies. I urge you face the truth. I urge you to stop believing and repeating lies promoted by those whose only goal is to sell more guns. Libtard Harvard, reviewed by more anti-gun libtards still = PILE OF CRAP! That study has been debunked due to twisted data, data left out, etc Mary, you are exposing your ignorance and prejudice. In the 90s conservative economic professors from Harvard helped Boris Yeltsin privatize state assets in Russia and destroy the economy, decreasing GDP by 40% and bringing per capita income down below Communist era, at 2K per year. Today, 20 years later, since Putin was elected, GDP has tripled and wages have doubled, now up to 14.5K per year. Under Bush, his economic team was led by conservative Harvard economists such as Nicholas Gregory Mankiw an American macroeconomist and the Robert M. Beren Professor of Economics at Harvard University. Mankiw is best known in academia for his work on New Keynesian economics. From 2003 to 2005, Mankiw was chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President George W. Bush. In 2006, he became an economic adviser to Mitt Romney and continued during Romneys 2012 presidential bid.[1][2] He is a conservative Wikipedia Also on the Bush team from Harvard, Martin Feldstein (considered the most influential economist in Washington, Lawrence Lindsey, Glenn Hubbard, Richard Clarida, and others (source:http://www.nytimes.com/2002/12/01/business/scholarly-mentor-to-bush-s-team.html) All are from Harvard, all are conservative, all worked for Bush in top level positions. So not only is your comment false but it exposes your lack your total lack of knowledge of the strong conservative component to the Harvard faculty. When I studied there, it had a very conservative political scientists who was to become the most influential during the 60s, Samuel Huntington, a Christian conservative who commuted between Harvard and the Pentagon, as well as arch -conservative, Harvey Mansfield. So 1) it is a logical fallacy and sign of dishonesty to attack the messenger and 2) you are ignorant of the messenger, Harvard University, whose conservative professor have destroy not one nations economy (Russia) but also the US. I conclude you dont know what you are talking about and lacking any evidence to refute peer-reviewed research, made a stab at trashing Harvard, the top rated university in the world with a faculty that includes some of the most famous conservative academics in the world. None of the Harvard peer-reviewed studies have been debunked by peer-reviewed research, tho the websites funded by the gun makers is full of denunciations, none of which has any merit (if it did, it could muster peer-review and be recognized as reliable research). You can deny facts, but they remain facts. You can claim top rated research is debunked, but that is an empty claim unless you can produce evidence. So, you are wrong on all counts, guilty of a logical fallacy, dishonesty, vulgarity, and ignorance. And economists have what to do with gun laws besides next to nothing? The professors that wrote that study are LIBERAL ARTS majors aka morons to stupid to make it in the business world! I know the study, I have researched the writers(who end appearing on a half dozen other studies at a half dozen other colleges, and NO college is conservative anymore! You are naming history and people who retired!) The writers are all blatantly anti-gun, they use each others studies as proof that guns are bad and will jump up and kill people all by themselves Criminals commit 99.99% of gun crime in this country. Criminals do not obey laws so more laws will only affect law abiding gun owners. Your utopia of removing every gun from the streets is a pipe dream of someone on drugs because conservative estimates put the number of privately held weapons at 800++ million scattered among 150+ million gun owners. No your studies saying there are only 85 million gun owners based on a poll are worthless because polls are worthless. Call me and ask if I own guns and I hang up the phone. It is nobodies business what and how many I have, nobodies business if I sell to a friend or family member I trust(and I do have family I would not sell a gun too, they are idiots like you who would hurt themselves), and nobodies business period what any other law abiding gun owner has. You want to make a difference? Go after the CRIMINALS who commit the thefts of guns, go after the drug dealers and gang members who spray bullets indiscriminately without aiming and with stolen or black market guns. And do you have any clue how many weapons flow across the southern border in a year? Probably as many as are sold in the biggest hunting states in a year! 5 midwest states hunters combined are larger than all the armies on the planet combined! Minnesota ALONE can field 1.5 million gun owners! Yet we have a very low crime rate outside the Twin Cities metro core where the gang bangers live.And the hunters do not live in those areas!The law abiding gun owners do not live in those areas! CRIMINALS live in those high crime areas. Membership in a criminal gang should be a felony with a 20 year MINIMUM sentence. Use of a gun in the commission of a crime(it doesnt have to even be fired) should be a felony with a mandatory death sentence. Anyone who points a gun at another person to commit a crime shows zero respect for human life and as such they should forfeit theirs. Remove their defective genes from the pool permanently! But a libtard like you will whine those are to harsh of sentences and we cant do that to scum who need to be removed to protect others lives! Like the 5 time illegal alien LOSER who killed that girl in CA. I bet he is out of prison on time served in 10 years or less and he will go right back to committing crimes! Come try and take what,Mary? No one is being forced off rural properties in the world except by greedy corporations stealing land in South America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. The w ay the people are being forced off rural properties in America is through bank foreclosures by lenders, who have created a subsidized agricultural corporatocracy, which has made it impossible for ordinary family farmers to survive. During the Great Depression, the 80s, and the Great Recession of recent years, tens of thousands of family farms were foreclosed not by the government but by the banks. In foreign lands, corporations use paramilitary to evict the natives to seize their land for oil production, palm oil plantations, etc. In the US, the banks use unpayable loans to seize property. In the 1980s, 300,000 family farmers defaulted on their loans and lost their property, not to the government but to the banks. Agenda 21 has a goal of stopping this concentration of property in the banks and creating a wider base of ownership. You are trashing the very programs which would protect you and thereby giving strength to the predatory lenders who use economic crisis as the opportunity to seize more property. In 2006 the banks owned about 1/3 of American family home equity; by 2009, they owned 2/3, through foreclosures and lost equity through the economic collapse. Wake up, my friend: it is not the UN or the government that is taking properties, but the bank and corporations. Agenda 21 is a set of proposals to reverse this development, and that is why the wealthy elites oppose it. WRONG Agenda 21 zoning changes are forcing people out! Please provide evidence. Agenda 21 is not a law but a series of non-binding, voluntary proposals which communities may choose to adopt. If a city, for instance, adopts a zoning proposal, that is not by authority of AGenda 21 but by authority of the city,accountable to local citizens. Almost all zone laws are based on uniform standards which local communities may then adopt or revise per their own desires, subject to democratic control of local governments. Agenda 21 is not an organization, not a law, not a mandate, and has no enforcement mechanism: it is suggested proposals. Zoning changes are made by local authorities and so if they are forcing people out, it is a document without a mandate or enforcement agency, but your local government doing the forcing. I would like some evidence of what you are talking about. There are over 1000 communities worldwide which belong to ICLEI, a global network of communities working towards sustainability. Whether a community joins is totally voluntary, and once it does, it has the choice to adopt any proposals or reject them. Agenda 21 cannot force anyone to do anything since it is a non-binding voluntary set of proposals.and nothing else. I wait evidence that these voluntary proposals are forcing people out. You will find, in fact, that Agenda 21 has NO force; if you want to know who is forcing people out, it is the banks through foreclosures. Here is the reality of who is forcing people out of their homes: IRVINE, Calif. Jan. 15, 2015 RealtyTrac (www.realtytrac.com), the nations leading source for comprehensive housing data, today released its Year-End 2014 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report, which shows foreclosure filings default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions were reported on 1,117,426 U.S. properties in 2014, down 18 percent from 2013 and down 61 percent from the peak of 2,871,891 properties with foreclosure filings in 2010. The 1.1 million properties with foreclosure filings in 2014 was the lowest annual total since 2006, when there were 717,522 properties with foreclosure filings nationwide. Business insider reported that US foreclosures hit a 15 month high in January of 2015, with 37,000 homes foreclosed, more than 1000 a day. Almost all these millions of people being evicted were the result of fraudulent under the deregultion of the lending industry in the Bush era and then the collapse of the housing market, which prevented those with loans from selling their profit and paying off the loan, due to a rapid decrease in its value. I personally, after building up 300K in equity over 40 years, with payments and sweat, lost it all in 2008. So this is the big story of people being forced out by the millions due to a fraudulent loan culture and then the collapse of home values making sales impossibleas well as 8 million lost jobs between 2007 and 2009. I welcome any evidence of Agenda 21 forcing people out, but you have to recognize the millions forced out due to bank fraud and failed economic policies. Trolololololol obvious troll is getting mad lol your one job is to not get called out for being a troll and everyone is calling you out hahahaha too funny You are losing it.2 or 3 brainwashed idiots is not everyone. That is delusional and a logical fallacy (ad popularum.). YOu want to think you are making me mad. LOL. I am not. I am amused by such obvious trolling. You are living in a mental bubble, and your accusations are only mental masturbation: they have nothing to do with me but make you feel better. And you hide behind a fake name. Bravo! Its ok. I am shielded by the truth. When you stand with the facts, you cannot be knocked over. When you lie, you hide behind false names and insults. Your lies are ugly but I forgive you. I feel pity for you. You are doing the best you can with what you have. If you werent so insignificant (and the 6% who oppose Agenda 21), I would take you seriously, but I see you use the internet to stroke yourself..and thats ok, Attacking people using a fake name? Thats very sad, my friend. You should be working to improve the world, not take secret potshots at those who challenge you intellectually. Now, go read Agenda 21 and how it has been voluntarily implemented and in some cases repealed after accepting certain proposals. Look up the word voluntary. And do some fact checking: can you find one case of any aspect of Agenda 21 that was imposed? You have to dig for the truth.you have to go to primary sources and use critical thinking skills but you have fallen prey to a hoax. As Emma Goldman said: It is easier to condemn than to understand. I urge you to liberate yourself by doing the work necessary to dig out the truth: is Agenda 21 mandatory, imposed anywhere on earth? Start there. You just dont get it and are a lost cause. I hope you enjoy your stay in a FEMA camp in the near future, as your type will be the first in line to go there. Banks and corporations are controlled by people , the very people we are talking about that sit on the boards of the UN and Trilateral Commission etc. Hes not paid to get it. Incorrect. The feverish resolve that we see to build Smart Growth (AKA: Affordable Housing, Transit Oriented Housing, Mixed Use) along Transportation Corridors is to ultimately SUPPLANT our rural, country, even suburban way of life. Wow you really are a moron. Agenda 21 is to force people into stack and pack 200 square foot apartments and off the land so the ELITE can have full access to it and control all of it. You are so full of crap that it is running from your mouth! Go suck up to your buddies on media matters, your opinions here are worthless and not wanted! I own my property outright and pay my taxes on time! 32,000 die from guns each year in the US; since 9/11, 400,000 have died from firearms. Of all the other 34 advanced nations, the gun homicide rate is on average 90% lower, and in the nearly gun free nations of the UK and Japan, there are 99% lower gun murder rates (and 80% lower overall murder rates). Homes with guns have 270% higher rates of gun deaths than homes without. Its your choice to put your family at risk, but dont you agree those who are mentally incompetent or disturbed should be barred from buying guns through universal background checks, which even 3/4 of NRA members support? As the farmer said when his horse died, Gee, he never did that before. Dale, you are way off on your numbers! You go by fake statistics. They have been debunked often. I am using the only national statistic available, which you can find collected and published at the FBI website. Local gun laws, like local prohibition laws, do not work very well, since you can just go to the next town or county to buy your guns or booze. That is why universal background checks are necessary and have helped the other 34 advanced nations have a 90-99% lower gun murder rate than the US. Chicago is ranked 30th for the highest gun murder rate of citiesmany Southern Cities with no gun laws at all are ranked much higher (New Orleans, Memphis, etc). Chicagos Police Department said Wednesday that in 2013 the city recorded the fewest killings since 1965 and saw its overall crime rate fall to level not seen since 1972. California passed some of the nations toughest gun laws over the past two decades, and gun deaths across the state have declined by more than half, according to a new study by a California-based nonprofit research group. Gun violence across California dropped 56% from 5,500 gun deaths in 1993 to 2,935 in 2010, according to the study, which took into account Californias expanded population from about 30 to 37 million people over the same period. Among all 50 states, California has perhaps the strongest gun control laws msnbc As for the 32,000 gun deaths a year, this is undisputed by both pro and anti gun control organizations. Here is a quote from a pro-gun website: There are roughly 32,000 gun deaths per year in the United States . http://usconservatives.about.com/od/capitalpunishment/a/Putting-Gun-Death-Statistics-In-Perspective.htm The NRA accepts the FBI statshere is a citation from their website For years 1991-2010, see the FBI Uniform Crime Reports Section Data Tool. For 2011 and the first half of 2012, see FBI, Crime in the United States 2011 and preliminary 2012 reports, available on the FBIs Crime Statistics webpage. Whether you accept the facts or not, they are facts. As for my getting a life, part of my life is exposing lies about gun violence and gun laws, as a duty to my grandchildren, whom I want to grow up in a safer society. I will report back when I return from my trip to Athens, Crete, and Rome! I urge you to pull yourself out of denial and educate yourself. I am well educated probably more so than you. But I will not get rid of my pistol to please you or anyone else. Ive carried one for 35+ years and it has never been pulled yet! It has never been placed where children can get to it. Educate the idiots that improperly use and store firearms. Educate the criminals that use firearms and make them give the firearms back. There already is a national database and it is required to be checked where I live. Every firearm I have purchased since registration started has been approved for the purchase by the government. I can not give away, sell or purchase a firearm without a background check. Live in a place where firearms are not allowed if you are so afraid of them. Having one saved my life. You have obviously not been put in danger like that! I will keep what I have. I may need it again some day when attacked by insane criminal progressive liberal democrats that lose their self control. Enjoy your trip abroad. One of my best trips was going to an Asian island and getting to shoot some unique firearms and weaponry!! I doubt if you are better educated than I am: I have 3 advanced degrees and earned scholarships to the top public and private university in the world (measured by number of Nobel Prizes by faculty and graduates). In addition being retired, I study 6-10 hrs a day. Here is a fact: in 32 states, private sales (and since there are no records kept, any seller can claim to be private) require no background checks. In 42, states, anyone can buy a semi-automatic rifle without a background check. 10 states that allow semi-automatic rifle sales require background checks only for semi-automatic handguns. So in 42 of our 50 states, a criminal, terrorist, child, or crazy can buy an semi-automatic weapons with no records kept, no background checks. This can be arranged at gun shows or though online sites which hook up sellers and purchasers. This is a fact. Each year, in the US there are, according to FBI data, about 250 justified gun homicides (about 50 by home invaders) but there are nearly 9,000 gun murders, of which about 5000 are among family and friends (54% according to FBI). Homes with guns have 270% more gun deaths than homes without. There are cases where guns save innocent lives, but they are far far fewer than the cases where guns take innocent lives, as the data above makes clear. In additino Yes, I surpass you in education! I am also retired. I also study all of the time to further my knowledge! I have no more time to waste replying to such an educated individual as yourself! So you claim to have more than 3 advanced degrees and have attended better universities than the top rated public and private universities in the world. Let me say bluntly: you are lying. You do not mention what part of the country you live in so of course, it is impossible to verify your claims. your attempt to blame Democratic areas (by the way, for a highly educated person you shold know that democrat is capitalized and not used as an adjective. It is a fact that the region of the country with the highest gun murder (and overall murder rate) is the South, which is solidly Republican. I take you to be a liar, ignorant of the facts of gun violence and gun laws (which I have studied for 3 years), and an ideologically driven right winger, who, like fascists everywhere, blame everything on the liberals. I also find your conflation of democrat and welfare-dependent to be code for racist assumptions. Where did you get Dude?? You have to be telling lies about your education! Dudette? You brag of your education but are too busy to take 1 second to tell me where you graduated? You clearly are lying and are making excuses. You can check my education at linked in. You are so offended by rudeness and then say So go play with yourself for a while! So you are a liar, a dodger, and a hypocrite. Excuse me, sir, but you are coprophagous liar, dodger and hypocrite! Very funny excuse for not answering questions after boasting. What lie have I told? If you are reduced to insults, you have no ammo left. I did not see anything insulting! Excuse me, sir, but you are coprophagous liar, dodger and hypocrite! You are reduced to lying about your insults. I am embarrassed to even be trying to have an intelligent dialogue with you. I wish you well. I believe them to be facts, not insults! Good evening! Well, Dale, all I have to say is if you are so smart how come you have it all wrong.Like Gerald Celente the Trends Journal owner who has been predicting trends for 30 years and mostly correct says. What is wrong with the world in six words; Yale, Harvard, Princeton, bombs, banks and bigPharma. Who owns the top 500 corporations?The elites. The Rothchild family that control the banking cabal alongwith their agents in N. America the Rockerfellers are worth in excess of 500 trillion $$$. The queen and her bloodlines also have worth in the trillions, and so does the Vatican. The three power centers in this world are the city of London, Washington DC, and the Vatican. They are all city states. They own and control everything. You think the Rothchilds got rich by hard work? You are an ignorant troll. Do you think London, the Vatican, and Wash DC controls China, Russia, the BRICS nations? I also amused by people who trash the most respected universities in the world, an obvious case of jealousy or sour grape. You are a sad case. Dale-I love to read your posts because you are so full of yourself. Your 6-10 hrs a day of intense study seems to primarily consist of producing a series of long-winded posts here at AP where you shill against guns and for vaccines. Plus lots of self-congratulatory OT content, of course, which is the part I find entertaining. Do have any friends? A dog? Didnt think so. I think you are a little hung up on education. Maybe thats because I grew up in an academic family, and am somewhat underwhelmed by academic boasting. I merely have 2 degrees, so by your standards I am part of the great unwashed masses. My real education, like most normal people, took place outside of the classroom. Maybe you should give that a try. You are not too old to try new things, are you Dale? A shill is a plant or a stooge. I am neither. You are trolling. If you were not just trolling, you would have realized that I only mentioned my education to respond to this boasting I am well educated probably more so than you (note the lack of proper punctuation!) and then Yes, I surpass you in education, by Numb3r Tech ab Your post is merely an excuse to vent your personal misery by insulting me. Then you end with the bigotry of ageism, which is as ugly as racism, or sexism. You are entertained by the sadistic pleasure of gratuitous insults. You are a troll. Remove Chitcago, New York, New Orleans, Detroit, and Los Angeles, Washington DC from gun murder statistics and the USA drops out of the top 100. All solidly democrat(small case, it is a swear word) ran cities with idiotic gun laws. I could give a rats a$$ what your education is. Education does not equal smart in any way shape or form! I used to have to train new hires with degrees. They were worthless until I actually taught them what is required for a real job. Being a professional student like you are just means you are to stupid to make it in the business world! your defensive gun stats are bullcrap lies! Guns used for defense are RARELY FIRED for starters. If it isnt fired it isnt included in the police report. BATFE did a study, only 2% of gun sales from a legal owner are to total strangers. A tiny amount when you consider that guns used in crime are almost NEVER purchased from legitimate sources. I can to a a street corner in any poor neighborhood in a big city and buy a black market stolen gun from a drug dealer for $50, they even rent them and you get money back if you return it! Rest of you study I debunked, Harvard is anti-gun, the studies authors are blatantly anti-gun, the sources in the study were anti-gun, in other words garbage in garbage out! Murders among family and friends are predominantly among people who are legally barred from owning a gun to begin with so no law is going to stop them considering they are CRIMINALS you moron. WRONG they are used for 21,000 SUICIDES and only 11,000 are from crime you moron. Research before you post such outdated crap or be ridiculed! dale ruff can not help but post useless statistics. He is college educated aka brainwashed! Even trolls buy into anti gun propaganda apparently. Obvious paid troll is entirely too obvious. I own my property outright pay my taxes on time too ; but you need to understand about eminent domain. This was supposed to be where you were paid a fair price when land was taken for the public good [still wrong] but is now being used to give it to private companies that will develop assets that will generate more revenue for taxes. Agenda 21 is taking away all the things you may do with your property making unreasonable rules . EPA has just declared dominion over any all bodies of water; including a stream or pond on your property. They can also zone or raise taxes to where they are more than a retiree can afford to force you off land. Many cities wont allow you to sink a well, septic system, rain barrels or solar panels unless connected to the grid.[no batteries storing power]. Let me know what you find out about the land patent. I live in a mid-sized city in a residential area. The odds are against them ever needing my property for eminent domain, at least during my lifetime. I agree with you on the power, water sewage issues. I am still going to install solar and figure out some form of water storage. I will keep a grid connection after I install my solar, but I plan on running totally off of solar. Life is getting interesting as we move forward! This is all planned to remove the remaining economic rights of US citizens and aboriginal indigenous peoples. People will be funneled into the Mega Regions by 2055 against their will. Those people will also be forced out of their home ownership and stacked into multi-built megastructures to house all the excess people as in New York City. The alternative to being forced into the government run social commune programs will be FEMA Camps. This is done to reduce global warming and so the government can spy on everyone else and so noone has independence and self determination. It is land theft 101. First dont talk about land grabs and high taxes and Cloward and Pliven strategy before doing the Hegelian Dialectic. Then justify the land theft through economic policies and unemployment. The Shock Doctrine in action. 1. Agenda 21 is a set of voluntary proposals to protect the environment and human health. It is up to nations, states, and cities to adopt them. 3. Concentration of land ownership was first established by the powerful enclosing the commons, then declaring it private property. That is why many anarchists have argued that private property beyond what you need to live (your home, your car, your farm) is theft of the commons. HIstorically, this can be seen the various Enclosure Acts of the aristocracy in Britain and the various schemes by which banks have taken majority equity in private property. The leading robbers of land have not been communities, or public ownership, but private banks, etc which take control of private land through mortgages, financial schemes (booms and busts), and foreclosure. The ONLY protection against the private concentration of land (whether through force or legal manipulations) is public control. 4. As frustrating as it can be, the zoning laws in Santa Cruz County have created one of the most beautiful areas in the world. The county is about 95 built out, so it is expensive to find land to build a new house, and there is a large population of people who have trouble finding affordable housingso the city and county have set up programs to get some built. A new world order, From : http://rhymeafterrhyme.net/environmental-nazis/ Agenda 21 is non-binding and voluntary: the opposite of Nazi force. Agenda 21 is a set of voluntary proposals. Behind the campaign to demonize a voluntary set of proposals aimed at protecting the environment and social justice (now made a curse) is the ruling class, who wants to protect is right to concentrate wealth and property. Those who join the anti-Agenda 21 cult are their useful idiots, shifting blame from the banks and transnationals who are impoverishing them to the community and the governments with the obligation to look out for the general welfare. This is clever propaganda. If Santa Cruz County (where I have lived for 25 years and built my home here) is the poster child for Agenda 21, it is a great blessing for this is one of the most beautiful best preserved areas in the world, full of natural beauty, small vibrant towns, and free of smog and industrial degradation. It has red tags, as do all counties, for violations of code which once remedied (a failed septic system, an unpermitted building not built to safety code, etc) are removed and expunged from the record. The county is 95% built out, so you dont see a many new houses, and as a result people invest their money in perfecting the old stock of houses, creating unique and charming neighborhoods full of creative and friendly people. If this is Agenda 21, I wish it for the whole world. The ruling class (NWO) wants you to demonize Agenda 21 so they can defend their right to concentrate more and more wealth and property, so that the ownership of more wealth by 85 billionaires than is owned by 3.5 billion people is seen as a natural right rather than the theft it truly is. They are grateful for all the useful idiots who support their program of enriching the rich at the expense of everyone else and meanwhile destroying the ecosystem, by shifting blame to the very communities which can promoteand provide for the general welfare by defending the commons, regulating the concentration of property into fewer and fewer hands (most notably the banks, corporate agriculture, etc), and providing voluntary proposals to protect the commons, the land and rivers and oceans which belong to all of us. Take your commie viewpoint and stick it where the sun doesnt shine! They are STEALING privately owned property from the rightful owners. Was Thomas Jefferson a commie.? He wrote that the earth belongs to mankind Why dont you take your NWO viewpoint of the right to concentrate wealth and property and stick it where the sun dont shine? The government didnt take your property, but private banks cost you a huge share of your home equity in 2008 and 9. Where governments are taking private property, it is to give it to private developers under abuse of eminent domain, which is meant to be for public benefit, not private interests. It is the banks that threaten your property, not the government. If it is commie to defend private owners from the banks, I am a commie. Why arent you? BTW, commie is so Hitler, a man who hated the commies like no other. He privatized public assets, sold them off to private interests.the beginning of neo-liberalism, which today is in charge of stealing pubic assets in privatization schemes all over the world. The government never took your land, but Ill wager that the banks own more of it than they did before the financial collapse of 2008. This is true for most family homes Wealth concentrates via hard work. Period. Nobody prevented me from starting a laser engraving business. Nobody is preventing me from growing it as much as I want. Nobody is preventing me from getting wealthy besides my own torn up body that limits how much I can work(Accident in High school, another in 2013, destroyed spine, yet I STILL started a business!). You want something for nothing, people who are wealthy work 60+ hours a week to get what they have! Wealth concentrates by fraud, war, conquest, and manipulation. You are not wealthy. I dont want anything for nothing. I worked my entire life. The Waltons, who inherited Walmart and built nothing and do not work, live on passive income at reduced tax rates: they do nothing but have more wealth than 100 million Americans, mostly working poor. The myth of working hard to get rich long ago died off. The Koch brothers, Donald Trump, the Waltons all were born rich. Others get rich through financial fraud (the wealth governor of Florida was involved in the largest rip off of Medicare in history; Scott started Columbia and the company Columbia/HCA agreed to pay $840 million in criminal fines, civil damages and penalties for fraud, including billing for services not rendered or not needed. A second fine was assessed and Scotts firm had to pay 1.7 billion, which he admitted on his website. Citibank, Bank of America, JP Morgan and others have all been fined billions recently for fraud. The other means of gaining great wealth is to steal it, such as the case when Haliburton, whose former CEO lied to promote the war on Iraq, then got a 9 billion contract, of which several billion went missing, and today has lucrative contracts in oil services in the Iraqi oil fields which were opened up by the destruction of the Iraqi state. Here are some more examples: during WWII, Standard Oil (now Exxon) sold oil not only to the US but to the Nazis. Several American banks funded the Nazi regime. This is all done through subsidiaries, etcl but it is well documented by historians. Here is another way to get rich: steal someones ideas (Microsoft). Or buy up a competitor and then destroy the business (as the oil companies bought up the electric vehicle businesses in places like Southern California and then buried them, because they could make more money selling gas). I am not talking about someone who starts a business and makes a few million. I am talking about the super rich, many of whose fortunes are based on fraud, illegal operations, theft, and simply being born rich. Another common way to increase wealth is to take your money and buy elections (97% are won by whoever has the most money), politicians, laws, policies, and tax breaks and subsidies. For instance, the richest industries in history are the fossil fuel companies and the banks: both use their wealth to control the political process to get subsidies and tax breaks. In recent years, Bank of America and Exxon, for just 2 examples, who make tens of millions each year, paid no taxes, through tax loopholes they had place into law through politicians they bought off. Another way to get rich is to be in a industry which profits from war, such as banks which fund them (the US pays 200 billion a year to banks for debt repayment for past warsthis is more than the defense budget of any other nation), energy which fuels them, and weapons makers who produce the instruments of mass murder. When Bush lied to start the war on Iraq, the stocks of all these industries rose rapidly. Corporations invest by buying politicians (and thus laws, etc) and getting huge return. Technically, this is corporate fascism whereby the interests of the corporations become the policies of the state: the merging of the interests of the state and the corporations, as Mussolini defined fascism. He also called is corporatocracy, rule of the corporations through the state. This is how banks, telecomm, oil/gas/coal, big ag, big pharma, and the Military/industrial complex all arrange transfers of taxpayer money inotht Most great wealth is either inherited (Koch brothers, Trump., Waltons), stolen (America, the Philippines, Cuba, Microsoft) or done through fraud (Florida Gov Scott Columbia was fined 1.7 billion for defrauding Medicare; Bank of America, Citi bank, JP Morgan were fined billions for defrauding public and investors, etc), and conquest (Haliburton has lucrative service contracts in Iraq through the criminal invasion arranged by former Haliburton CEO Cheney, which then gave Haliburton immediately a 9 billion no-bid contract, of which several million were immediately lost. Banks, which fund wars (many US banks funded the Nazis as well as loaning money to US for war), energy which fuels them (and uses war to seize control of oil fields, as in Iraq and Libya), and the weapons makers..all promote war to increase profits and wealth. And the other way to increase wealth is to buy elections (won in 97% of cases by the folks with the most money), polticians, laws, policies, tax breaks and subsidies. Banks and energy, the two wealthiest industries in history, both often pay no taxes (Bank of America, Exxon) while making tens of billions through loopholes they wrote and had their hired hands make policy. This is how almost all the great fortunes are made. Look at the Koch brothers: they inherited great wealth made by their father working for Stalin. The Waltons, who have more wealth than 100 million Americans, built noting, do not work, and are rich by pure luck. I am not talking about some entrepreneur who makes a few million. I am talking about the plutocrats who rule the earth, the 85 billionaires who have more wealth than 3.5 billion people. Most of them hardly work at all but enjoy the luxuries of the world while others work for them. Great wealth is not through hard work but through inheritance, fraud theft, or political manipulations. There are exceptions, but they are of the kind that proves the rule. The French have a saying: Great fortunes are built on great crimes. You are not rich (which you blame on your physical disablities) but you defend those who have picked your pocket your entire life: that is the definition of a useful idiot. Mary, I thought AGenda 21 was the plan of the worlds wealthy elites to take over the world. Now I find it it is the enemies of the wealthy elites, the commies. I appeciate your civility. Do you mean the banks which have foreclosed on over 8 million homes since 2006? Bankers are not commies, dear. Weve all sipped some Kool-Aide. So Dale, at what point did the people of California consent to geo engineered drought? You are begging the question, a logical fallacy. I cannot respond to fallacies expect to point them out. So you deny geo engineering was used to create the drought in California? Hi Dale, You really dont seem to get the piece about how Agenda 21 and the Peace institution of the UN are structures ENTIRELY created by The Ruling Class to further very long-term plans for making their power, over a population who are becoming more and more simply mind controlled slaves, permanent and unassailable. If you think a world where the peasants are herded into dense human settlement zones, while the wilderness is off limits to everyone but the very elites that you seem to want to remove from power, is some kind of eco-paradise, then keep on posting utopian fantasies. Beautiful Santa Cruz is where the Board of Supervisors passed a moratorium on the installation of Smart Meters, a potent EMF attack on the population and essential element of the coming Technocratic surveillance State, and then refused to enforce it. Have a Smart Meter on your house? Breathing toxic aluminum, barium and the rest of whatever theyre spraying over us every day (basically anything the rich want to expose us to)? Cutting back on your water use so you only take your fair share as California is droughted into dust? Rolling up your sleeve for coming mandatory vaccinations? Agenda 21 will NEVER remove the primacy of elite power. And if A21 is what youre relying on to make things right, it doesnt look like you will, either. RApid urbanizaton that is taking place is NOT the result of the UN or government but of growing economic inequality and concentration of wealth in private hands, forcing hundreds of millions into mega cities, many consisting of huge slums without sanitation, etc. That is the result of farmers losing their land or being unable to make a living due to competition from huge corporations, which burn down forests and push local residents off the land. This is a form of land theft. Agenda 21 seeks to slow this process of concentration of land by the wealthy corporations and to improve conditions in cities, including sanitation, healthcare, etc. Your discussion of governments (which are not the UN) pushing people out of wildernesses into cities is false history: As large corporations grab land , biotech corporations take over agriculture, and natives are pushed off the land, they go to cities seeking jobs, often living in unhealthy slums. More than the worlds population now lives in such cities, the result not of the UN or governments but of private corporate greed. You surely do not think the ruling class is behind an agenda of creating more economic equality, do you? Agenda 21 has a core goal of retraining the increasing concentration of property. Are you so dense as to think those concentrating wealth and property are behind proposals to restrain it? As for Santa Cruz, to the applause of the local anti-smart meters advocates, the County banned smart meters but the local sheriff has refused to enforce it, claiming he does not have the legal right to do so: However, law enforcement in Santa Cruz County has not enforced the local ordinance. Sheriff Wowaks stance on the matter is that the enforcement of the local ordinance is not within his jurisdiction, as California Public Utilities Commission policy trumps local law. The Board has renewed the ban, which law enforcement refuses to enforce. It is worth pointing out that smart meters are not only a choice of local residents but that they emit much fewer RFs than cordless phones, cell phones, and wifi, not to mention TV, radio, etc. But I support choice, and we in Santa Cruz County have it. Chemtrails is another industry funded campaign to divert attention from the known lethal effects of burning fossil fuels. It is a clever propaganda operation seeking to distract the public and shift blame for industry caused pollution (including aluminum, barium, etc which are common industrial waste and used in common household items like sandpaper and toothpaste) to the government, whose job it is to reduce pollution. This propaganda works by distraction, blame-shifting and recruiting useful idiots to promote lies that serve the fossil fuel oligarchs to prevent government from laws to reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. It is clever and diabolical, and those who buy it are supporting positions which do themselves harm, thus qualifying as useful idiots. All these fake conspiracy theories have 2 purposes: I find your comments misguided, misinformed, and showing evidence that the propaganda masters behind the idea that global warming is a hoax, chemtrails, that smart meters are more dangerous than wifi and cellphones, etc. have captured your mind. I defy to find a more beautiful, prosperous, progressive, and pristine region than Santa Cruz County. The people here are smart, creative independent and tolerant and friendly. We have led the nation in legalizing marijuana, defending the right of citizens to opt out of smart meters, establishing organic food standards, and many other cutting edge measures. We have shown how preserving the environment, preserving our charming villages, and at the same time hosting a population of highly educated and creative people, jealous of their liberty are mutually supportive. Agenda 21, with its core goal of reducing the concentration of property, is a direct challenge to the New World Order, who goal is to concentrate more and more property. You cannot see this because you have been brainwashed by the ruling elites to demonize a challenge to their hegemony. Boy, rapid non-responsive response to my reply. You are sure energetic and busy, Dale. You seem to have facile answers to everything, but to be selectively myopic about everything at the same time. Im guessing you just want us all to go back to sleep and sign on to the progressive plan for our collective future, leaving it in the hands of the (very well meaning, of course) experts. BTW, its not the Sheriffs role to decide if an ordinance is unenforceable. At the time, Wowaks staff said that they determined the ordinance symbolic. But the supervisors did nothing. What youre pointing out about Smart Meters is specious nonsense. Try doing some research. You might start with http://takebackyourpower.net/ Also try a search on selfnews Post, Id recommend http://www.activistpost.com/search/label/Catherine%20Frompovich Plenty people cannot see how all of these problems related to weather, population, food and the economy are related. They just seem to think it is all coincidence and return to spouting the same drivel that keeps them from making the connection. Henry Kissinger once said, If you control the food you control the people!. Now add that to the climate change mantra and you have something to be guarding yourself about, but many are just asleep at the wheel Climate change is an indisputable empirical fact, accepted by 100% of the worlds climate scientists. Monsanto is seeking to control the worlds food-they are not the UN, not government (except in so far as they have key positions in regulatory agencies: they are a private corporation seeking only more profits. They, and other biotechs (like Sygenta, whom they are trying to buy) are seeking to control the worlds food supply, using government where they can (as in the US) and seeking treaties (like the TPP) to repeal the laws of sovereign nations (like the 160 nations which require assessments of GMO safety, the 40 with bans, etc), and opposing government regulation of GMOs on safety grounds when they cannot control them. The great danger is not government but private corporations with the power to hijack governments. The technical name for this is fascism, the merging of the interests of the state and the corporations (Mussolini: Doctrine of Fascism/1932) Agenda 21 is based on the recognized need to constrain private concentration of wealth and power at the expense of ordinary people and the environment. Those promoting the anti-Agenda 21 propaganda (non-binding voluntary = totalitarian dictatorship) are those concentrating the wealth and power, and the shills in the Republican party whom they have hired to facilitate their takeover of government in order to concentrate even more wealth and property. Agenda 21 is against this movementand thus it is demonized by the ruling elites, brainwashing useful idiots into thinking that Agenda 21 is supported by the very elites who are promoting its trashing. Why would the ruling elites support a proposal to limit and reverse the concentration of their own wealth and property? (Clue: they wouldnt). You really are either a troll or completely naive. Do you not know that the science that is socalled facts you speak of are bought and paid for by the people pushing these programs whether it be Agenda 21, depopulation programs or te climate change/global warming BS spewed by Al Gore that he was paid 100 million $ to flog to the unsuspecting public and then was given an award for the documentary An inconvenient Truth. The elites control Hollywood and know how to socially engineer people to their way of thinking. How do you think the Nazis got so far. They were behind them and funded them.Read Anthony Suttons Wallstreet and the Rise of Hitler. All these elites are Nazis at heart and You sound just like you follow their ideaology. Oh and by the way the Republicans and the Democrats are the same and have the same puppetmasters. Its a facade for the ignornant public to give them the warm and fuzzy feeling that they actually have a choice in who governs but in fact is a sham. But you know this, as you are paid by these same people to spread disinfo and muck up this blog, so why do you just disappear . I have a world class education in political science. Agenda 21 is for establishing economic prosperity, in which societies then voluntarily reduce their birth rate to a sustainable level. It is a non-binding voluntary set of proposals, none of which are about killing people but rather creating financial security, which automatically leads to a sustainable fertility rate. Al Gore made his fortune by buying Apple cheap and selling high, as well as other lucrative investments such as AlJazerra and several start ups. He made money by risking the small fortune he inherited, and the money made from his books. The investment fund in green energy he founded GIM has taken some losses: Between May of 2008 and October of 2009 the CCX market value for one metric ton of carbon plummeted from $7 per metric ton to $0.10 along with the shareholders investment values. Ouch! In addition GIM dumped its last First Solar stock at a $165.9 million loss in 2012. He is to be credited with being the leading promoter in Congress of commercializing the govt developed internet, which has resulted in trillions in new wealth and tens of millions of new jobs worldwide. As for the Nazis,they used US banks, German corporations, and right wing stree thugs to come to power. What has that got to do with Agenda 21? As for Dems and Repubs being the same: in the war authorization vote for Iraq, the vote was When Bush was pushing for war wiith inflammatory lies, Gore went public to oppose his rush to war. That war, not yet ended, cost 3-4 trillion in borrowed money and killed half a million civilians. If Dems had been in power, it would not have happened.Also, Dems and Repubs differ totally on taxes, immigration reform, gun law reform, healthcare, investment in education, infrastructure, and on expanding aid to vets. You can check their voting records. I am an independent but I study voting records. I am paid by my pension, and your accusation of my being a paid shill is a lie. I wish someone would pay me since I report facts and evidence, but the fact is, you are lying and you should disappear if all you have to offer is lies. None of what you say is true (except US banks did fund the Nazis, just as Standard Oil (now Exxon) shipped oil to the Nazis, IMB provided cards, etc) and none of it has anything to do with Agenda 21, a non-binding voluntary set of proposals like educating girls, providing clean water, restraining private concentrations of wealth and property, protecting the environment, and promoting economic security so that people will voluntarily reduce their birth rates in the interest of a sustainable world. The Republican Party which IS the party of the rich, has denounced Agenda 21, which challenges the hegemony of the wealthy. The claim that the ruling class supports Agenda 21 is refuted by the facts; the ruling class (with exceptions) hates Agenda 21 and is behind the propaganda campaign to denounce it, since it would lead to regulations to reduce pollution from burning fossil fuels, constraints on concentrations of wealth, and empowering those who are currently exploited for private profit. You have been brainwashed. And what Global warming is an indisputable empirical fact, accepted by 100% of the worlds 10,000 climate scientists. A study of 12,000 peer reviewed research projects found that 97% find human activity (mostly burning fossil fuels, but also methane emissions from agriculture,. etc) responsible, with the other 3% not sure what is causing it. The propaganda campaign to create the illusion of a scientific debate of global warming is funded by the Koch brothers, Exxon, and other polluters who do not want for regulations to reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, for profit reasons. The Koch brothers know that global warming is real because they funded the Berkeley Earth Project, led by a leading climate skeptic, to investigate government and UN date and show it was fraudulent. In fact, the investigation found the data to be absolutely solid and claims of distortions to be baseless. Since then, the Koch brothers no longer openly fund antiglobal warming propaganda but do it with dark money through subsidiaries, to mask their involvement. The climate skeptic who led the investigation wrote an op ed in the NY Times in which he explains how he found the data to be accurate and how he was converted by the evidence. He goes into all the claims that is distorted and concluded they are baseless. He also found that the only logical explanation, taking all other factors into consideration, for global warming is human activity. As a climate scientists, his skepticism was overcome by the evidence. Today, all continents are having record heat waves, with temps of 104 in Northern Germany, 129 in Australia, scorching heat in Africa, South America, and Asia. The last decade is the warmest since records have been kept. Today, literally, there are record breaking heat waves on all continents; 104 Obvious troll is too obvious. Tone down your bs and you might snare someone crossing the bridge. Surely, the less than minimum wage youre being paid to spread disinformation cant be worth the embarrassment or wasted time, can it? I give you the benefit of the doubt of being a paid troll because I find it hard to believe anyone could be as naive, gullible, and flat out stupid as you. Obvious troll is too obvious. I love how schooled youre getting in the comments by well informed people. Must be making you rethink your occupation, eh? And who pays you to libel people as trolls? Your post has not one fact, one constructive thought, or piece of evidence. It is 100% hot air. I will spare you a suit for libel because you are too insignificant to be worth it. But thanks for doing your job of calling people trolls. Your personal insults reflect only on your own lack of character and intellectual power. You are, in using insults instead of reason, lying accusations instead of evidence, a useful idiot for the cynics who are controlling your mind. Could be the reason so many ugly apartment buildings are going up and the rates are ridiculous designed to keep folks from buying/owning a home of their own. BTW: notice that blue collar pay is stagnantbut not the silver spoon crowd. You need to look into community organizers.Government is guvenare mente which is to control the mind.Look how many prisoners they take at one time. http://drownedmadonna.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/madonna-common-ground-music-festival.jpg Nonviolent Communication, Pt. 1 Is NVC Consistent with the Trivium Method? 229 w/Bill Joslin Its all part of the communist agenda move the population into city ghettos, confiscate all private property not owned by the ruling elite there are a lot of liberals who seem to think that redistribution of wealth will help them Obama claims if you have something you didnt earn it yourself it belongs to all this is communism and it is code for the all it belongs to is the ruling elite. Communism in theory says wealth would be redistributed to all, but in actuality, in practice it always creates two distinct classes the ruling elite living in comfort and extreme wealth and the masses living in harsh poverty.the ruling elite have never had any intention of making life better for mankind in general it is always about destroying the middle class and any up and comers who might dare to challenge them..if you read more of the UN ideals for mankind, it clearly spells out that every effort be made to dumb down the masses, not to educate them they want no thinkers, no creativity nothing that would ever challenge their 100% dominance over mankind and resources communism always means massive wealth for the ruling elite everyone else is to starve in the ghettos.. Agenda 21 is a set of non-binding voluntary proposals and it explictly states that that national sovereignty is an absolute right of nations. The opponents include: The John Birth Society, Glen Beck, various neo-Nazi groups (who link it to anti-Semitism, which you can see expressed in some of the post), and the Republican Party, which represents the corporate elites which AGenda 21 is claimed to be fronting. Here is a simple question: why would a party which represents the concentration of wealth and property oppose a set of proposals to restrain the concentration of wealth and property? The U.N. Conference on Human Settlements states: Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social It is absurd to claim that the ruling elite would support a doctrine which calls for using land not to concentrate wealth (85 billionaires have more wealth than 3.5 billion people today) but to benefit society as a whole. I assume the ruling elites are behind the effort to demonize this agenda, in order to protect their wealth and property. Evidence is the resolution passed by the Republican Party, which no one disputes represents the wealthy, condemning AGenda 21. The wealthy who rule want more property not less: Agenda 21 is the enemy and so they cast it as a plan of totalitarian dictatorship, despite its status as a non-binding, voluntary set of proposals.

Were I in Rockefellers position and had a trillion dollars invested in oil rights, drilling platforms, pipes, tankers, refineries and gas stations- and were pumping 500 gallons per minute of gas at a few dollars per gallon, why would I want to reduce that population down to 1B and pump only 5o GPM?

Anything that does not empower, enslaves. I urge people to read Agenda 21, which is voluntary and non-binding. There are no enforcement agencies and the 27 core principles repeat the method of implementation of the proposals to eradicated poverty, clean up the pollution, help indiginous people, support children and women, and promote healthcare and education. All of the 27 proposals are explained by the ideas that states (and people) should cooperate.Cooperation, by definition, is voluntary. There are no laws in Agenda 21. REad it! There are proposals, goals, and urgings. Agenda 21 is not a sete of laws. REad it and you will see that. Stop believing the lies. Read it yourself and see if you can find any laws, force, or unreasonable proposals. One idea often attacked is that Agenda 21 seeks to reduce population by 90%. That is simply a fiction. Agenda 21 recognizes, as do all scientists who have studied the issue, that current levels of population growth are unsustainable and harmful to the environment. The highest birth rates (Central So the solution to overpopulation is economic progress for the poor nations, since poverty is the cause of overpopulation. This is Agenda 21. It is not through force but co-operation. So, do not be a sheep and believe what you read on the internet (such as here) but read Agenda 21 in its original text and then look at the nations, states, cities, etc which have adopted (and in some cases, then turned and round and repealed) proposals, where you will find in ALL cases, that adoption was voluntary. it is easier to condemn than to think. Emma Goldman Read the actual text of Agenda 21 and then compare it to the lies being told about it. I will send a gift card to anyone who can provide a shred of evidence of any of Agenda 21 being forced on people. Now if a city adopts a clean up environmental hazards proposal, and this requires that some land owners with polluted land clean it up, that is force, but it is justifiable (we have the right to a clean environment and the health benefits it brings) and it not by the UN but by the city, thru its elected officials (consent) and their voluntary adoption of the clean up plan. You may be forced to clean up the hazards on your property but by the actions not of the UN but your own elected officials, obeying their constitutional mandate to provide for the common welfare. REad it! Stop reading about it! Educate yourself and adjust your thinking to the facts. PS. Those who call me a paid shill (i am paid to tell you to read Agenda 21if it were really a conspiracy to take away our freedom, it would be buried???) are operating out of the playbook on how to be a troll. Here is Lesson One: The most effective way to attack someone who presents a credible argument or evidence that you wish to have dismissed is to call them a paid shill. The more I learn the more I share: Bush 1, along with 177 other world leaders, signed the Proposal, but when Gingrich was running, he said he would explicitly repudiate Bushs decision. I think this proves that it is not mandatory, forced. US involvement is based on Bushs signature, and it can be repealed. Several governments on state and local levels have, in fact, reversed their original approval. If you can repeal something, you are not under coercion. Agenda 21, objectively, is a blueprint for eliminating the worlds worst problems of poverty, environmental degradation, and the oppression of children, women, and native peoples. It is not a law; there is no enforcement agency; and there is no underlying operation which the the voluntary, non-binding rhetoric only masks. There is NO evidence. So refuse to be a sheep and actually read Agenda 21 for yourself and then study the history of its voluntary adoption and note the total lack of force or an enforcement agency. Then asK: do I agree with the Birchers, the neo-Nazis? Why do they oppose it? Stop being a sheep and start asking questions and going to Primary sources to learn the truth. Dont believe anyone, including me: do your own research..and I do not mean Townhall or Stormfront but original documents themselves. To find the truth disbelieve everyone and go to the source. Anyone who wants to pay me for urging you to do your own research and think for yourself, I would gladly accept. I have been waiting my entire life to make money by telling people to liberate themselves from illusions and seek the truth, at the source. The truth about Agenda 21 is in the text and its history of adoption (and in come cases repeal). And if you attack me again, without showing you have read Agenda 21, I will contact my sources in the UN and you will be contacted by them..so prepare to say goodbye to your family when the black helicoptors come to get you! Whooeeee! How fun it is to monger fear! 
1	Ushering in a new era in American education, U.S. Secretary of Education William Norwell announced Monday that all U.S. public schools will soon switch to a rigorous, Tony Danza-based curriculum. As things stand now, our kids simply arent learning enough about Tony Danza, said Norwell, explaining the switch. Unde r the new plan, by the time every American youngster graduates from high school, they will have a rock-solid foundation in all the basics of Tony Danza. Under the new plan, by second grade, all students will have a basic working knowledge of Whos The Boss. By sixth grade, all U.S. students will gain full exposure to the first four seasons of Taxi, in addition to a basic familiarity with the 27 post-Andy Kaufman episodes. By senior year of high school, all students will have gained a broad, sophisticated understanding of every aspect of Danzas career, including his work in the 1981 film Going Ape!, early television commercials and recent starring role on ABCs Hudson Street. I am confident that Americas children will receive the finest Tony Danza education anywhere on earth, Norwell said. And as a result, they will graduate better prepared to face the Tony Danza-related demands of the working world than the youth of any other nation. According to a 1990 survey, Americas schools ranked 41st out of 45 industrialized nations in quality of Tony Danza education. Norwell first came up with the plan after visiting a Spartanburg, SC, high school in 1994. I talked to some of the students and was appalled by what I heard, Norwell said. There were kids who didnt know the last name of Tonys Whos the Boss character. Kids who had never seen Taxi. There was even one young man who had never even heard of Shes Out of Control, the 1989 comedy in which Tony plays the overprotective father of a boy-crazy teenage girl. Thats just wrong. O 
2	Air Force Official Risks Everything To Turn On Obama And Warn America About... President Obama does everything he can to act like our country is safe under his control. He does not acknowledge a danger in things as serious as border control or Islamic extremism. Now, new reports reveal just how serious the problems Obama is hiding are. Accoring to GOP The Daily Dose, a top Air Force official put his career on the line days after the deadly terrorist attacks in Brussels, warning Americans that there is a strong potential threat for Americas enemies to attempt to shut down its electrical supply for months. He commented that this could be accomplished either through a physical terror attack or an electromagnetic pulse explosion. The briefing was first read by the Washington Examiner, which reported that Air Force officials are worried that determined adversaries like North Korea and the Islamic State are determined to take down Americas power supply. Experts have suggested that North Korea, for example, is testing missiles to launch a nuclear weapon from a ship off the U.S. coast into the atmosphere where an explosion could shut off electricity for months through an atmospheric EMP explosion, the paper read. Air Force officials also warned that if not attacked, Americas power grids aging infrastructure and a pattern of unpredictable storms could also leave the United States without power for months. This, of course, leaves our country at risk for serious attacks. What do you think of these reports? 
1	In the wake of a garment factory collapse last month that claimed the lives of more than 1,100 laborers, clothing factory owners throughout Bangladesh issued a joint statement Wednesday, pledging to spare every expense necessary to ensure that a tragedy like this definitely happens again. This terrible loss of life has not opened our eyes to the conditions for workers throughout Bangladesh, and we promise to take the proper inaction so that we can guarantee all safety hazards are completely and fully ignored, wrote Wal-Mart contractor Sujon Majumdar on behalf of over 2,000 plant owners, who vowed to stand idly by and do absolutely nothing within their power to prevent another catastrophe. In our opinion, the workers of Bangladesh are our least important resource and deserve nothing more than unsafe and inhumane working conditions. Rest assured, this will happen again on our watch. The statement from the owners concluded by urging readers to pledge to a relief fund to support the revenues that were tragically lost in the recent collapse. 
3	When Mass Shootings Were RealBy James F. Tracy Whether or not such claims are true, there can be no doubt that each referenced event has been inordinately sensationalized by corporate news media and national political leaders to advocate for stricter gun control, mental health, and police state measures, even though criminologists maintain that the number of mass shootings has not increased since the 1990s.[1] Like the curious 1995 mass shootings in Dunblane Scotland and Port Arthur Australiaevents capitalized on by political leaders in those countries to pass harsh gun control measures and expressly invoked by President Obama just hours after the Roseburg shootingresearchers and independent news media point to a potential agenda behind the intense publicization of mass shootings throughout the United States. As this author has argued,although it may seem an extravagant assertion, one must ponder whether there is sufficient reason to consider whether certain US government agencies are involved creating or embellishing some of these mass shooting incidents. One need look no further than the history of Operation Gladio, or FBI involvement in what one investigative journalist terms the manufacture of terror events, documented respectively by scholar Daniele Ganser and journalist Trevor Aaronson, to conclude that a lavishly-funded military-intelligence-media complex has for at least forty years demonstrated a sheer contempt toward the Western body politic that has in some instances resulted in mass murder.[2] A hypothesis may be at least partly demonstrated that a similar dynamic holds true for mass shootings through careful analysis of news coverage on mass shootings transpiring prior to the heavy federal involvement in local and regional law enforcement and specific shooting incidents that have only intensified in the 14-year purported war on terror. The following preliminary examination suggests how the news consuming public was afforded much more lucid and enduring depictions of mass shootings by journalists in past decades. In other words, many years before Internet technology became essential to assembling stories, journalists reported accurate and demonstrable facts to their readerships on mass shooting crime scenes and their dynamics in very short order, giving the reader abundant and consistent information to understand what really happened in such tragic events. Reportage on mass shootings in the 1990s and prior is at significant variance with how such incidents are presented today. For example, in corporate news coverage of the December 14, 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre integral facets of the story changed in the immediate wake of the event. Conflicting information surrounded how the shooter gained entrance to the schools interior, what weapons the shooter employed in his attack, the types of wounds the victims sustained, even the identity of the assailant and nature of the emergency response, all of which are fundamental features of a criminal investigation that in many past instances was quickly and unambiguously relayed to the public. Similar features have plagued coverage of many other mass shootings in the US in recent years. At the Aurora Colorado theater shooting in 2012 some eyewitnesses came forward to contend there were two or more culprits involveda claim contradicting the official narrative that one James Holmes was the sole assailant. Further, Aurora police chief Dan Oates stated to reporters immediately following the event that officers responded to the incident and apprehended Holmes in 90 secondsa remarkably short time given the events almost certain chaos. Oates then states that his personnel eschewed ambulance service for injured parties, transporting the wounded to local hospitals in police carsa startling and implausible admission by a leading law enforcement official with clear implications for probable negligence and civil liability. Further, despite the movie theater being equipped with an extensive network of state-of-the-art video surveillance, to date no video footage has been released to the public that James Holmes was inside or for that matter anywhere near the premises in the period leading to the shooting. Along these lines, one eyewitness, Corbin Dates, asserted in several interviews with major media that there was more than one individual involved in the shootingnone of whom resembled Holmes. Coverage of, and emergency response to, the October 2015 Umpqua Community College shooting was similarly bizarre. Early media reports stated that a 20-year-old male had fatally shot at least 13 people, 21st Century Wires Shawn Helton writes, but that was later downgraded to 10 fatalities including the gunman, with another seven injured before being changed again to 10 killed and nine wounded at the UCC campus. Eventually, the suspected gunman turned out to be 26-year old Chris Harper Mercer, who we were told repeatedly had been neutralized (shot) by police during a gun battle on campus. However, 48-72 hours later, it was revealed that the lone gunman Harper Mercer had committed suicide, dying of a self-inflicted gunshot. The above inconsistencies and implausible features in official narratives of US mass shootings resound in those listed below. Nevertheless they are repeated almost withoutquestion by corporate news media. The question remains, have such anomalies and informational lacunae characterized official pronouncements of major mass shooting incidents before federal law enforcement agencies became so heavily involved in processing crime scenes and advising local police and emergency response services? Journalistic coverage of three significant mass shootings where federal involvement is absent is presented below to argue that more recent mass shooting events possessing curious and seemingly inexplicable features in fact require far closer scrutiny from capable intellects and the broader public than they have thus far received. The most well-known mass shooting in US history took place at midday on August 1, 1966 when 25-year-old Charles J. Whitman terrorized the University of Texas at Austins campus from the observation ledge of the 27-story UT Tower, utilizing an array of rifles to shoot 45 pedestrians, 12 fatally. On August 2 the New York Times ran two comprehensive reports of the event, detailing the horror though police and eyewitness testimony. Students, professors and visitors ran for cover, United Press International reporters on the scene wrote. In the storys initial paragraphs the reader is apprised of the events resolution: An off-duty policeman, Romero Martinez, who had responded to a call on his radio, inched his way around a wall at the top of the tower and fired six bullets into the sniper with his service revolver after the sniper shot at him. The shooting is rendered more vivid through testimony from an array of traumatized witnesses relating their experiences. Denver Dolman, who operated a bookstore at the edge of the campus, said a young Negro student was riding his bicycle toward the Texas Union Building The bicycle wavered and the boy appeared to fall onto the sidewalk. John Scott Allen, 18, a freshman, was watching. A bullet smashed through a window and struck him in the right forearm. Leland Ammons, a law student, was standing beside Billy Speed, a policeman, when Mr. Speed was shot. Ruth Kiykendall, who works on the 18th floor of the tower, called to a friend in a building nearby. Somebodys up here shooting in the tower, she gasped. There is blood all over the place. Austin Police Chief R. A. Miles explained that Whitman murdered his wife and mother in the lead-up to the mass shooting. Hours later, Chief Miles said, Whitman took a trunk full of guns, food, and water to the top of the university landmark, the story reads. Several photographs augment the prose, including those of policeman Speed being carried away, and another presenting and describing in detail the weapons found on the observation platform of the university tower a 6 mm rifle with telescopic sight, a Remington .35-caliber rifle, a 12-guage sawed off shotgun, a carbine, a 9 mm Luger and a .357 Magnum pistol.[3] On August 3 the New York Times carried followup stories that included excerpts from candid interviews with Whitmans immediate family, a reproduction of notes from Whitmans psychiatrist, and a detailed consideration of remarks from expert physicians on the potential role played by a pecan-sized brain tumor found during Whitmans postmortem examination. All such content was unambiguously presented to the public in less than 48 hours via the nations paper of record, and remains as evidence of how such horrific events were chronicled in recent US history.[4] Indeed, the initial historical record established by journalists on the scene suggests that specific and unequivocal information on other US mass shootings has been speedily related to the people. For instance, in the late afternoon of Friday, November 1, 1991 Gang Lu, a doctoral candidate studying physics at the University of Iowa, shot and killed four colleagues and wounded a college administrator and her assistant, the former dying of her injuries the following day. On November 2 the New York Times ran a story including eyewitness accounts and statements from university and area law enforcement officials describing how the event played out and suggesting Lus possible motivations. A university spokeswoman , Ann Rhodes, said the student, Gang Lu methodically searched out his victims. He had been disgruntled over his failure to receive an academic award for his doctoral dissertation, she said. The story continues to succinctly lay out the events chronology and resolutioneach of which, if we are to conclude that the Times reporter was working on a deadline for the papers August 2 late edition, were ascertained and related to the press within hours. A dreary, snowy school day had just begun to wind down when the shootings began at about 3:40 P.M. University officials and the police said the gunman came upon a group of students and professors in Van Allen Hall, the physics departments building, and killed the four men [three professors and a graduate student colleague] without saying a word. The professors had each been involved in Mr. Gangs doctoral work, and the researcher had been a rival for the honor he sought, Ms. Rhodes said. Mr. Gang then stalked out of the building and ran two blocks to Jessup Hall, the main administration building, which faces the campus common. There he injured the women in the office of academic affairs, where he had recently filed a complaint. The video below provides an overview of area police response to the shooting. The shootings lasted 10 to 15 minutes, said Iowa Citys Police Chief R. J. Winkelhake. Campus police officers responding to the shots found Mr. Gang about 10 minutes later, sprawled on an office floor beside a .38-caliber revolver. He was alive at the time but with serious head wounds, Chief Winkelhake said.[5] As in coverage of the UT Austin shooting, less than 48 hours later the Times elaborated on the investigation in a subsequent report, drawing on the observations of university and local police; no federal agencies or officials appear present. The discovery of five of Mr. Lus letters after the shootings has convinced investigators here that he had detailed plans to inflict deadly violence on a number of university employees, Johnson County District Attorney J. Patrick White explained at a November 3 press conference. Joined by the University of Iowas president, Hunter R. Rawling 3d, and other university officials, Mr. White today painted a portrait of a darkly disturbed man who drove himself to success and to destruction. Despite the perception of Mr. Lu among those who knew him as an outstanding scholar in theoretical space physics, Mr. White indicated that there was a sinister edge to Mr. Lus character well before the shootings. In the letters Mr. Lu reportedly named his victims, said William Fuhrmeister, the universitys public safety director. None of the letters were ever mailed, the authorities said. Mr. Fuhrmeister, the universitys public safety director, said Mr. Lu had left instructions with acquaintances to mail the letters. The letters were apparently turned over to the authorities after the shootings. In the letters, other targets besides the six shooting victims were also named Mr. White said, but he and other officials refused to disclose their identities. Other credible sources are on the record, further describing how the event was experienced. Dr. Van Allen, for example, a professor emeritus of physics, was in the building when the shooting began at 3:42 P.M. I didnt hear anything, he said. I was up on the seventh floor doing some work. At about 3:45 P.M. a young colleague of mine dashed into the office and said, I recommend you dont open the door until I hear its O.K.[6] Unlike the hastily organized memorials following recent college shootings that curiously take place on the same day, Iowas university-wide service at the campus basketball arena was not held until November 7almost a week after the shooting.[7] Details of other school shootings from years preceding the war on terror era are likewise swiftly and accurately provided in conventional news coverage, typically relying on eyewitness testimony and remarks from law enforcement and emergency response officials concerning the investigation and event. On January 17, 1989, Patrick Purdy, a 24-year-old incorrigible with a substantial criminal record, brandished an AK-47 rifle to attack 400 to 500 Southeast Asian refugee children playing outside the Cleveland Elementary School in Stockton California. A total of 30 sustained injuries and five of the children perished in addition to the gunman, who committed suicide following the assault. He was just standing there with a gun, making wide sweeps, according to teacher Lori Mackey. She said she ran to her classroom window when she heard what she thought were firecrackers, and saw a man standing in the schoolyard, spraying gunfire There was mass chaos. There were kids running in every direction, Mackey said. There were a dozen students lying on the ground, a mother of an 11-year-old Cleveland Elementary student told reporters. It was very frightening. Ramon Billed 3d, a student, described seeing a schoolmate shot. I just saw him fall down, Ramon said. His head hit the ground. the teacher grabbed him and dragged him inside the other classroom Another pupil, Roberto Costa said the shooting started during his reading class. The bullets were hitting the walls, he said. Everybody got scared. A passerby heard gunfire and ran to the scene. I tried to get a pulse, couldnt get a pulse, he said, referring to a pupil. I was hoping an ambulance would show up. It seemed to take forever. Again, in less than 24 hours reporters recorded the event, the background of the shooter and his every essential movement on the scene, even the number of bullets fired and the property damage caused via information from those assembling the criminal investigation and the recollections bystanders. He opened fire on the westside of a group of portable classrooms, AP writers noted, then moved to the east side and continued firing across the blacktop where children were playing toward the main building about 250 yards away, [Deputy Police] Chief [Lucian] Neely said. He was no closer than that when he shot himself in the head. About 60 rounds were fired; in some cases the bullets went completely through the main schools building and came out the other side to fall spent on the L-shaped schools front lawn, Chief Neely said.[8] In followup coverage the crime scene is described via on-site accounts. Overnight, workmen patched the 60 or so bullet holes in the south wall of the brown stucco building and scrubbed out bloodstains. But only about a quarter of the 970 pupils showed up. The assailants approximate movements in the prelude to the shooting are also recorded. On Tuesday, just before noon, [Purdy] arrived at the Cleveland School in his 1977 Chevrolet station wagon, burned the car with a molotov cocktail in a Budweiser bottle and walked onto the crowded school grounds. There he opened fire. He shot at least 106 rounds. He was not aiming as much as spraying, said Captain [Dennis] Perry of the Stockton Police Department. Children began to crumple. The shooting lasted about two minutes. Then Mr. Purdy put the pistol to his right temple and fell dead against a school wall.[9] Journalists covering mass shootings twenty or more years ago usually relied predominantly on local police officials and eyewitness accounts to chronicle such events. Information related in such reportage was consistent and accurate in nature, and was quickly related to the reading public. Such reports were produced at a time when news organizations often had only telephone and facsimile to gather content. In light of the above, and in particular the fact that we now live in an Internet-fueled information age, how can one account for the the almost uniformly poor and sometimes cartoonish reportage of todays mass shootings? The overall coverage of shootings since at least 2011 has become unreliable and slipshod, with the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre the foremost example of ambiguous, confusing and ultimately irresponsible reportage largely based on state and federal law enforcement officials commenting under the cover of anonymity. Federal agency involvement in homicide and similar crime investigations no doubt tends toward the potential politicization of such events. This is particularly the case as the leadership of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives, and similar entities is appointed by the given presidential administration. Such bureaucrats understandably recognize their allegiance to this political power and are readily appease its given agendas. Clear examples of federal interference in local and regional criminal investigations and attendant press censorship may be found in the major political assassinations of the 1960s, in particular the murders of President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., where significant public confusion still abounds. More recently, the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City suggests a juncture where federal intervention became increasingly commonplace, ultimately transforming the narrative of that event and how it is called up in popular memory; from a demonstrable government false flag attack to a strike against Americas heartland by the enemy withinan unstable, anti-government drifter, comprising the template for the so-called lone wolf, a now commonplace term in US police state parlance. Hungry for information to develop stories under deadlines and editorial pressure, journalists are effectively incapable of questioning the pronouncement of official sources. Fearful of alienating powerful relayers of information, they place in abeyance their commonsense discernment of what may or may not be plausible to a situation where their understanding and expertise is limited. This is all the more reason for the concerned citizen to take heed. The plethora of recent mass shootings and array of disorienting news accounts accompanying each should be carefully considered, particularly in light of the more trustworthy and consistent journalism of such tragic events from the 1990s and prior, a journalism far less subject to disinformation and unclouded by prevailing political agendas and goals.

3	Who Tells Us What To Think? Is The Mainstream Media The Matrix?Michael Snyder, Contributor When you go to work or to school in the morning, what is everyone talking about? Usually, people are talking about something that they saw on television or that they heard about in the news. I dont know how many times over the years I have heard someone tell me some version of the following statement: If that was true we would have heard about it on the news. Has anyone ever said something similar to you? The funny thing is that most of the time I wont even mention something important that I may have heard in one of my articles unless I can back it up with a mainstream source, and I dont even trust the mainstream media. I know that the mainstream media often distorts the facts and often tells outright lies, but I regularly link to them because that gives my articles more credibility in the eyes of those that are still fully hooked into the matrix. In a world where the big media corporations have so much power, is there any hope for us? As long as the big corporations that control the media are dominating and controlling the conversation, is there any chance that there will ever be a mass awakening among the American people? Our young people seem particularly addicted to being constantly connected to the media matrix that is being constructed all around us. The following is a brief excerpt from a recent article by Daniel Taylor According to a 2010 LA Times report, young people spend on average 53 hours a week watching TV, playing video games, and sitting at the computer. Facebook users spend about 15 hours a month on the social networking site. People are walking and driving blindly while texting, sometimes walking into fountains and even falling off cliffs. Wow our young people spend more than 200 hours a month connected to the mainstream media? But we only have about 480 waking hours a month to work with. If they are being exposed to that amount of continuous propaganda, what hope do our young people have? In the old days, kids actually played with each other in the streets and adults actually left their homes to interact with one another. But these days we spend nearly all of our time sitting passively in our homes staring at flickering screens. Is that a sign of a healthy society? We were created to be social creatures. We were designed to love and to be loved. But these days people love their favorite sports teams or they love their favorite television shows but we have an increasingly difficult time having real relationships with each other. Meanwhile, the global elite rely on the mainstream media to keep us distracted and to control the boundaries of public discourse. Most of the time, the mainstream media focuses on the latest celebrity scandal or the latest dogfights between the Republicans and the Democrats and they systematically ignore many of the more important things that are taking place out there. Let me just give you one example of how the mainstream media shapes the news. For decades, there was almost a complete and total media blackout on the Bilderberg Group meetings that happen every year. Top newspaper executives from the United States would actually attend these meetings, but then their newspapers would not say a single word about them. If anyone out there did bring up the Bilderberg Group, they were dismissed as wacky conspiracy theorists and were told that it simply does not exist. Of course now we all know that it does exist, although the mainstream media in the U.S. still mostly ignores it. In fact, this has been by design. The following is what David Rockefeller is alleged to have said during a Bilderberg Group meeting back in 1991 We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries. Even today, many prominent journalists in the U.S. mock people when they bring up the Bilderberg Group. For example, Lawrence ODonnell of MSNBC says that he is way too lazy to look into the Bilderberg Group and that he doesnt know about it, so it must not exist. For much more on the connection between the mainstream media and the global elite, please see this article: Who Runs The World? Solid Proof That A Core Group Of Wealthy Elitists Is Pulling The Strings. Instead of telling us what is really going on in the world, the mainstream media keeps us endlessly distracted. The following are just a few of the headlines that can be found on the front pages of major mainstream news sites right now College student creates condom delivery service Michael Douglas is feeling good Golf tournament delayed by kangaroos Rock n roll hamburger experience Lady Gaga cancels tour, set for surgery Wow those are some examples of some really hard-hitting journalism right there. So why do most Americans continue to fall for this nonsense? Sadly, part of the reason is because we have become so dumbed down as a society. Recently, the Guardian conducted an evaluation of the reading level of every State of the Union address in U.S. history. What they found is that Barack Obamas State of the Union addresses have had the second lowest reading level average in history, and that in general the reading levels of the speeches have been significantly declining over time. But it is not just our presidents that appear to be getting stupider. The truth is that our public education system is a total joke at this point. Many of our high school students are as dumb as a rock, and if you can believe it, 23 percent of all Americans cannot even read beyond a fourth-grade level. Of course the elite are quite pleased with this, because a stupid public is a public that is easier to dominate. When a large segment of the population can barely read and is accustomed to letting others do their thinking for them, it becomes easier to lie. For example, on Thursday Paul Krugman of the New York Times made the following statement Growing dependence on government is mostly a myth. Of course most of you that are reading this know that is a flat-out lie. The charts in this article clearly show that the number of Americans on food stamps is at an all-time high and the percentage of the population that is on food stamps is at an all-time high. Back in 1983, less than a third of all Americans lived in a household that got money from the federal government each month, Now, an all-time high 49 percent of all Americans live in a home where at least one person receives money from the government each month. Sadly, the truth doesnt seem to matter too much to the media these days. The mainstream media tends to be incredibly arrogant, and most of the time they dont even pretend to be objective or neutral anymore. Fortunately, more Americans than ever are becoming dissatisfied with the mainstream media and are starting to seek out alternative sources of information. According to a recent Gallup poll, the level of trust that the American public has in the mainstream media is now at an all-time low. So perhaps there is hope after all. What do you think? 
3	Real Zombie Cells? Researchers Revive Dead Cells, More PowerfulAmanda Warren Researchers inAlbuquerque NM have come up with an alchemy that breathes more power into dead mammal cells. These super undead cells can survive conditions that living organisms cannot, making them highly favorable for study versus typical mummified or preserved dead specimens. Scientists from Sandia NationalLaboratoriesin partnership with University of New Mexico processed living cells in a Petri dish and coated them with silicic acid solution that acts like an embalming fluid, penetrating even the nano-parts of the cells. It forms a permeable armor that can withstand tests above 750 degreesFahrenheit and high pressure. After the heat treatment, the protein boundaries around and within the cell (organic material) evaporate leaving the silica as a perfect mold or replica of the former living being, like a wax museum exhibit. But its not just a surface mold the silicic acid permeates everything down to the last intricate nano part. King Tut was mummified to approximately resemble his living self, but the process took place without mineralization [a process of fossilization]. Our zombie cells bridge chemistry and biology to create forms that not only near-perfectly resemble their past selves, but can do future work. [emphasis added] While it is a scientific breakthrough (it allows scientists to kill and revive mammal cells as opposed to recreate the same structures) what do you say? Can these preserved cells constitute zombie-ism? Are they really undead? The researchers involved definitely call them zombie replicants and emphasize that they outperform the living. Is this decades zombie fascination a matter of target-marketing? Making science sexy? Or a predictive ushering in of something more? Read other articles by Amanda Warren Source: 
1	After being inadvertently trapped in the Carnegie Museum of Art following closing time Thursday, local man Simon Oresick, 57, remarked to himself that art and life do seem, at times, to be inextricably linked to one another in a mutually imitative relationship. It is curious to note the way in which art reflects the vagaries of existence and the human condition, just as existence itself often seems to directly echo or reflect the motifs expressed in art, pondered the frantic, nearly hysterical man as he bounded down a service stairwell and repeatedly threw his weight against a door labeled street exit. For instance, is it I who am trapped in this museum, or the pieces of art that currently surround me? Or both? And who is the original author of this entrapment: the work of art, or the person who views said work of art? At press time, the distraught, captive Oresick was attempting to jimmy open a stairwell window with his car keys while contemplating the twin theories of both art as a form of escape and escape as a form of art. 
3	Failure to disclose foreign account is worse than possession of child pornSimon Black You see, Mr. Wajsfelner was finally caught and convicted of a most heinous crime: failing to disclose his foreign bank account to the US government. Note he was not convicted of tax evasion. He was not convicted of failing to file or pay taxes. His crime was not filing the annual Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR). Because of his failure to disclose his foreign bank account, Wajsfelner is now looking at FIVE YEARS behind bars in a Day-Glo orange jumpsuit. Oh, one more thing Wajsfelner is 83 years old. He was born in Germany during the global depression and rise of Adolf Hitler. The Wajsfelner family soon fled the Nazi regime and made its way to the United States. It was a different world back then. Sentencing guidelines suggest that Wajsfelner will get some combination of jail time and supervised release to the tune of several years. Or Melford Christmas, a US immigration officer from New York, who was given 18 months for demanding and accepting bribes to speed along US citizenship applications of foreign nationals. Or Ricardo Cordero, another US Customs Border Patrol officer who was given 27-months for personally smuggling 30 Mexican nationals into the United States, and assisting another smuggler to bring 15 Mexican nationals across the border. This genius even had the smuggler testify as a character witness at his divorce proceeding! Or Jon Corzine, former CEO of Goldman Sachs and member of the political elite, who presided over one of the largest plunders in the financial system ever seen during the recent MF Global collapse. He walks the streets freely to this day. It seems pretty clear where the US government stands: the victimless crime of failing to report a foreign bank account is far more egregious than, say, possession of child pornography, engaging with minors in online sex chat, bribery, extortion, fraud, and abuse of official power. This is what justice means in the Land of the Free today. Have you hit your breaking point yet? As a parting note, I just want to remind readers once again that US taxpayers with foreign financial accounts are obliged to file form TDF 90-22.1 to the Department of Treasury each year by June 30th, as well as file IRS form 8938 and 1040 schedule B with your normal tax return each year. It should be clear by now that failing to file is not an option. If you are delinquent in filing from past years, its much better to catch up and file late than to not file at all.

3	Gestapo In The USA: FCC Intimidates Press and Kills Free Speech at 5G RolloutBy Josh del Sol First, they prevented wireless science advocates from displaying a simple sign, violating their First Amendment rights in a public venue. Then, a security guard forcefully prevented a t-shirt from being taken out of a bag, by a former Congressional candidate with opposing views. Next, a Bloomberg reporter had his credentials confiscated almost unbelievably for merely talking with the former Congressional candidate. Following these incidents, the reporter, Todd Shields, was visibly irate with FCC Commissioner Tom Wheeler who also happens to be the former president of CTIA, the wireless industrys lobbying organization. Moments ago I was attempting to talk to to some people who came to attend the meeting and have concerns about radiation and 5G. And your security force intervened told the guy he couldnt show me the t-shirt he wished to display at the meeting, forced him to put it away, and confiscated my FCC-issued ID. Is this consonant with the discussion that ought to be taking place here, and whats your reaction to this action by your staff? -Todd Shields, Bloomberg reporter, to FCC Chair Wheeler [on video above] And in the QA that followed, the former Congressional candidate Kevin Mottus successfully added another dose of truth the narrative. Hey Tom, with the NTP study showing wireless causes cancer sub-thermally, how can you proceed with more wireless expansion, with FCC standards only recognizing thermal effects ignoring thousands of studies showing cancerous effects, neurological effects, reproductive harm, immune system disorders people are being electrosensitive Kevin Mottus, former Congressional candidate, to Wheeler [on video above] After about 20 seconds of yielding the floor to Mottus, Wheeler interrupted, dodged this very appropriate question, and diverted to an FCC-compliant journalist: Lydia, do you have a question? (Which, on the video, almost sounds like a Wheeler Freudian slip: Litigate. Do you have a question?) The issue here, is that the Federal Communications Commission just rubber-stamped their rollout of 5G cellular technology, which while increasing throughput, would blanket all planetary life with ultra-high microwave frequencies 24Ghz and up. The fact that these frequencies have never been tested as safe is not stopping corporate-government plans for an unleashing of massive infrastructure. But there have been thousands of published peer-reviewed studies that indicate the proliferation of microwave (wireless) technologies is not safe to biological life. (See meta-study links here, here, here and here.) So, because theres a lot of money in a wireless economy and the data-harvesting that comes with it trillions, in fact Big Industry has bought the science, bought lawmakers, ruled the proliferation of microwaves as safe, and infiltrated the FCC along with most international health agencies. And in the face of this willful, for-profit negligence, instead of employing conscience and responsibility, theyre actively silencing all opposition. You know, those of the human species that pay attention to pass concepts like science and reason. Here are some snippets from FCC Chair Wheeler, at his June 20 press conference: 5G will use much higher frequency bands [24 to 100+ GHz] antennas that can aim and amplify signals massive deployment of small cells tens of billions of dollars in economic activity hundreds of billions of microchips if something can be connected, it will be connected unlike other countries we wont wait for the standards Tom Wheeler, FCC Chair [on video above] Paraphrased: We cant let life get in the way of profit. We want to make billions from all of you, and control everything. And in doing so, were not only going to willfully ignore science, were going to remove the idea of standards and initiate a free-for-all. The implications of all of this are very far-reaching. How far? Well, to find out, lets start with what we know. Its pretty clear at this point that we have a government that has been taken over by corporate interests. In order to increase their power and control even more, they plan to exponentially ramp-up the deployment of technology everywhere, which a vast body of science clearly says is harmful. If unchecked, this will almost certainly lead to an increase in cancer and other ailments associated with exposure to electromagnetic radiation. Havent we had enough of for-profit agendas putting profits before health? From a surveillance standpoint, we already know there is a sinister spying agenda operating behind the scenes. The rollout of 5G technology especially in the standardless, profit-centered way Wheeler describes would indeed open up a considerable new threat to basic rights. If everything is connected, you can bet that as many details as possible about our actions will be tracked and stored somewhere like the $2B NSA facility in Blufdale, Utah. And there is extraordinary market value in this. A director at NARUC stated that the value of data harvested just by smart utility meters will likely be worth a lot more than electricity itself, which is a $2.2 trillion market globally. But besides being creepy and making the 1% even richer, there are clear warning signs that a control-oriented governing system could easily take an indexed catalog of all of your actions and use it against you in a multitude of ways. For example, increasingly-instrusive pre-crime operations are already planned in Miami. And insurance providers are checking their customers Facebook data to influence premiums and even coverage availability. So its really not unreasonable to see how a governing body concerned primarily with staying in power, could restrict rights or remove privileges for behavior that is deemed to be not aligned with national interests. So, tracking is not OK unless we are absolutely convinced that the governing body of that system truly respects individual rights and has the best interests of the people in mind. And right now, we are not even close to having such leadership in our governments. Wheelers vision of 5G would significantly enable those who are motivated by power and money to use technology to rule over everyone else. In order to protect our lives and future, we must not allow that to happen. While we would all like to have fast Internet, we must now look closely at the downside of this technology, and take constructive action. This can understandably be difficult, due to the considerable attachment that we have to both our devices and the sense of immediate gratification that we obtain from using them. In addition to an interview with Kevin Mottus, last Sunday I Skyped with Dafna Tachover, an Israel-based attorney who was present at G-Day, last Thursday. Tachover, who is among millions now who have directly experienced microwave radiation harm after becoming sensitized to it, says that the only way forward is individual accountability and liability. In my view, she is obviously right. Until theres personal accountability and liability, this systematic problem that repeats itself will happen again, and again, and again, and it has been. So, we learned that the tobacco industry was lying to the public, bluntly to the public, to the government, to health organizations without any hesitation. Was anyone sued? No. Was anyone found personally accountable? No. So thats actually what enables this kind of behavior to happen again and again. This is the action we should take: we should make it clear to those government people or you know, if we talk about wi-fi in schools, the school principals, who do have personal responsibility and liability to protect childrens health to make sure they know they will be found personally liable for the harms they cause. They have a position of trust, and they betrayed that trust. And they should be found liable. It should be civil liability and criminal liability. Dafna Tachover, attorney [on above video] Former Congressional candidate Kevin Mottus spoke about the urgency of the situation. My background is as a medical social worker. And when I was in the hospitals I saw young salesman and lawyers coming in with brain tumors, and healthy otherwise, other than the tumor and doctors asking them about their cell phone use. So I was clued in very early with these heavy users and the tumors it was causing. Schools are now our most dangerous places to be. You have 20-40 wireless transmitters in theiriPads and wireless laptops, and then you have 2-3 commercial-grade wireless routers. So you have, really, the setting of the most significant exposure in our country, and the most vulnerable population being exposed are small children which we know are 3 to 4 times as sensitive to all environmental hazards. We are microwaving our population and wondering why our cancer is going through the roof and chronic disease is going through the roof. Its really very sad. I spoke to Congressman Grayson from Florida, and while I was talking with him, one of his staffers, Joe, came up to me. And he said, What are you talking about? I said, Im talking about wireless cell phones causing brain tumors. He said, Thats interesting, because I had a brain aneurysm and Im lucky to be alive. Its also interesting because my buddy just died from a brain tumor. So, people are definitely getting sick. And you need to ask them, Does your face tingle when you use your cell phone?. Do you have difficulty sleeping? Have you ever gotten nauseous using the phone? Do you feel funny when youre around wi-fi, or getting close to it? And youll be surprised people are getting sick. For instance, I spoke to Congressman Rush. Congressman Rush has a salivary gland tumor, which Israel has associated with cell phone use. We need to stop this before they [FCC] auction the [ultra-high frequency] spectrum. Kevin Mottus, former Congressional candidate, California [on above video] FIRST: SEND A LETTER, EMAIL OR CALL Our friends at parentsforsafetechnology.org have put together an action page for writing, calling and emailing Congress, the FCC and others. Use this platform and templates to let them know firmly that you: This is the warning shot. While all know more than letters to our reps will be needed to right the ship, this is where it starts. So do this first. Then, to join the movement and be kept informed of organized actions going forward, be sure to subscribe your email to parentsforsafetechnology.org and to our site, takebackyourpower.net. SECOND: GO TO YOUR REPS Mottus is calling on everyone to go to speak with your government reps in DC and to go in person if at all possible. You know where the Congressmen are. You know where all of the committees are. Go. Educate them. Go like the wireless industry goes, time after time, to the FCC. Mottus is inviting all anyone who wants to join him in DC for the next session of Congress (between September 6 to October 6), to email him at truthaction@protonmail.ch. It is also very important to contact your local governments, to let them know that they, too, will be held individually accountable and liable. In Wheelers June 20 talk, he very clearly identified the role that local governments will play, if their plan of 5G is to be successful or not. THIRD: ACCEPT YOUR OWN ACCOUNTABILITY, AND ENVISION THE POSITIVE OUTCOME This is as much about standing up to the harm-doers and holding them accountable, as it is about holding yourself accountable to do the right thing. Not to take the world on your shoulders, but to do the right thing and stay connected with others who are likewise committed. In this process, were remembering who we are, as co-creators of reality. Were accepting responsibility for the fact that we let the situation become what it is today, because of our passive trust in those who have become corrupted but were forgiving ourselves, trusting in the greater flow, and coming together. Though it can be painful to face the situation and accept the necessity of our action, we just have to do it. Were now seeing clearly that in order for the human species to make it through this threshold, individual rights must be protected. It is not OK to suppress free speech. It is not OK to suppress science; whenever this happens the resulting harm is enormous. And it is not OK to prioritize power and greed above life itself. So the only way left is to grow up, individually and as a species. When we do this by taking responsibility and putting our Inspired Will into the world we open the door to a future of awakening, freedom and peace for all humanity.

2	2 Days After AG Lynch Meets With Bill Clinton DOJ Makes Shocking Move According to recent reports, Department of Justice officials filed a motion in federal court late Wednesday seeking a 27-month delay in producing correspondence between former Secretary of State Hillary Clintons four top aides and officials with the Clinton Foundation and Teneo Holdings. If the court approves the day, the public wont be able to read the communications until October 2018, about 22 months into her prospective first term as President. The four senior Clinton aides involved were Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Michael Fuchs, Ambassador-At-Large Melanne Verveer, Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, and Deputy Chief of Staff Human Abedin. The State Department originally estimated that 6,000 emails and other documents were exchanged by the aides with Clinton Foundation. But a series of errors the department told the court about Wednesday evening now could mean the total has grown to 34,116 potentially responsive documents. During Clintons four years as Americas chief foreign diplomat, her aides communicated with officials at the Clinton Foundation and Teneo Holdings where Bill was formerly both a client and paid consultant. The Justice Department noted this interaction took place on average of 700 times each month. 
1	Yesterday, America was introduced to Trevor Wilson, the brave young man from Granton, Kansas who heroically gunned down a potential school shooter before the shooter could even obtain a gun. But to those who know him, Trevor's act of heroism was no surprise; The handsome football star and prom king has been serving as a role model for Granton's youth for years. Numerous Granton residents told The selfnews News Network about Trevor's history of volunteer work, including once trapping all of the squirrels in the town's downtown park and exterminating them by hand. 'No one asked him to do it,' recalled family friend Ellen Haggerty. 'Trevor just saw that the squirrels were a bit of a nuisance, so he caught them in traps he made and then took them down to his basement and videotaped himself as he killed them one by one. It was so sweet.' Trevor's teachers have equally glowing praise for Trevor. A short story he wrote for an English class last year about a young football player killing a classmate and wearing his skin as a coat was described as 'extremely detailed' by his teacher Ron Wurther. 'The assignment was to write a three-page story, but Trevor turned in a 109-page hand-written manifesto. I've never seen a student apply himself so thoroughly.' Other teachers echoed the statement, including one who spoke in awe about a working crossbow Trevor built himself for a science project. Sadly, despite his good deeds, Trevor has had to face tragedy many times. Seven of his previous girlfriends have gone missing. But the plucky youngster says he won't let even these losses keep him from having a great attitude toward life. 'I feel as powerful as a god,' Trevor told reporters yesterday. 'I am the Flesh Master. My thirst must be slaked with blood.' 
2	BOMBSHELL: Mike Brown Had Gang Affiliation And Was A Murderer Poor, sweet, innocent Mike Brown. That is the racially-charged story that is sweeping the nation. And its a compelling oneto think that an evil officer shot an innocent boy for no apparent reason other than race. But its not the truth. In fact, the medias version of the truth leaves out some very important facts. Like, for instance, the fact that Mike Brown had a juvenile criminal record. This follows reports from a journalist who claims that he has a lawsuit that will prove that Mike Brown was a gang member and a key suspect in a murder. Recently, Charles Johnson, Editory-in-Chief of GotNews, announced that despite the familys claims that Brown did not have a criminal record, evidence is starting to point elsewhere. Johnson revealed that hed been approached by at least two law enforcement officers claiming that Brown did have a sealed record. He immediately filed suit to have the records released. To find out if these police officers are correct requires seeing Browns juvenile arrest record, which ought to be freely available given that he is dead and therefore has no right to privacy remaining, Johnson stated. Knowing the truth about Browns past will help us gauge the credibility of his parents and family who have called him a gentle giant. According to Johnsons attorney, Browns records are no longer sealed because he is deceased. The court hearing takes place on September 3, and the records may be released after that decision. If the story is true, it would prove a major plot twist. 
2	This State Just Passed Law Banning Sharia Law In the past week, a seventh state decided to prohibit state judges from considering Islamic law in their court rooms. North Carolina just recently made the decision in the family court system. Supporters of the bill claim that it is important to protect the United States legal system from letting foreign laws impact what happens in our court rooms. Sharia Law, for example, has nothing to do with the U.S. Constitution and the systems we have implemented. Still, the law seems to be getting push back from the Islamic community. The intent behind this law is bigoted, said Islamic spokesperson Jibril Hough, It is intended to alienate the Muslim community. Other states that have passed this law include Arizona, Kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Tennessee. What do you think? Should more states be passing this law? 
1	In a recent interview aired on The Today Show, serial child molester Jerry Sandusky came across as a likable and really quite charming individual, sources told reporters Tuesday. Boy, I gotta say, I found myself liking him a lot in that interview, local man Scott Russell said of the former Penn State football coach and incarcerated rapist who last year was convicted of engaging in forced sodomy and oral sex with at least 10 underage boys. He flashed that big ol smile, and talked in this warm, soft-spoken voice, and you could tell hes got this really infectious, fun-loving personality. He was like a big kid!

3	Its the Anniversary of the Worst Terrorist Attack in the US Before 9/11 And No Ones Heard Of ItBy Claire Bernish Prior to the attacks of September 11, 2001, the outright decimation of Black Wall Street, also known as Little Africa which began the evening of May 31, 1921, and didnt end until the following afternoon had been considered the worst act of terrorism on U.S. soil and the worst civil disturbance since the Civil War. Unfortunately, now 95 years later, the tragic annihilation of an entire neighborhood has almost been lost to the passing of time indeed, the insufficiently-named Tulsa Riots have almost wholly vanished from school curriculae outside Oklahoma. Credible estimates claim up to 400 people lost their lives, over 800 suffered injuries requiring admittance to area hospitals, an estimated 10,000 were left homeless, 35 city blocks housing 1,256 residences were destroyed, and 600 successful businesses were lost, including 21 restaurants, 30 grocery stores, two movie theaters and a hospital, the Atlanta Black Star summarized in 2014. Black Wall Street blossomed in the Greenwood District of Tulsa, as segregation laws dictating neither white nor black Americans could live in a neighborhood with more than 75 percent population of the other race ironically created a system which kept money from leaving the community. African-Americans, by law, could not shop in white-owned business, so every imaginable business from groceries and clothiers to hospitals and theaters became immensely profitable. Schools offered superior educational opportunities, and homes and businesses in Little Africa were equipped with indoor plumbing before their white counterparts. An oil boom in the 1910s amplified the growth of the middle class. Greenwood, by all historical accounts, primarily consisted of the middle- and upper-classes and by the time of the so-called riots, about 10,000 people lived and worked in Little Africa. While it is still uncertain as to precisely what happened in the Drexel Building on May 30, 1921, the Oklahoma Historical Society explains, the most common explanation is that Rowland stepped on Pages foot as he entered the elevator, causing her to scream. An irate lynch mob gathered on the courthouse steps the following evening, calling for Rowland to be handed over; but the sheriff refused. An armed group of about 25 black men, including many World War I veterans, offered to help the sheriff protect Rowland, but were denied. Later, the furious white mob attempted to break into a National Guard armory, but the effort was thwarted. Chaos continued as a second group of about 75 black men returned to the courthouse and were again turned away by authorities. As they left, according to the Historical Society, a white man moved to disarm a black vet, causing a shot to be fired into the air. Shortly thereafter, all hell broke loose. While these events certainly sparked the civilian and law enforcement terror attacks on the affluent neighborhood, the Oklahoma Commission to Study the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921 published a startling finding in its report in February 2001: At the time, many said that this was no spontaneous eruption of the rabble; it was planned and executed by the elite. Quite a few people including some members of this commission have studied the question and are persuaded that this is so, that the Tulsa race riot was the result of a conspiracy. Though the opinion wasnt unanimously concluded by the commission, many scholars and historians have argued the same. When examining the details of events variously called race riots and outright terror attacks, the determination that an embittered elite opportunistically enjoined the Ku Klux Klan in seeking to destroy prosperous Black Wall Street handily fills gaps in the account lost over time. After the shot fired on the courthouse steps, some accounts say the black contingent returned to Greenwood, but generally, the situation in Tulsa devolved into mayhem. Though the sheriff had refused to turn Rowland over to be lynched, Tulsa law enforcement officers deputized a number of people who had comprised the white mob. Over a period of hours, black Tulsans were randomly victimized and targeted in drive-by shootings; homes and businesses in Little Africa were looted; and a number of fires set to buildings on the perimeter of the neighborhood. Law enforcement simply did not protect the Greenwood neighborhood, nor any of the black population anywhere in Tulsa. Though the National Guard mobilized, ostensibly to stem the increasing atrocities, guard members instead protected white areas of the city against a nonexistent threat. No body of law enforcement did anything to stop any violence perpetrated by the vicious white mob and by some accounts, they performed mass arrests of Greenwoods residents and even carried out atrocities. Little Africas tenacious residents defended their community for as long as possible, managing to stave off thehateful crowd for some time. But by sunrise, hundreds lay siege to Black Wall Street murdering, looting, and burning everything in sight. At least one machine gun was used. Most accounts of the attack say planes identified murkily as either flown by police or authorities repeatedly bombed the area. By the time the violence ceased, Black Wall Street was effectively decimated some 40 square blocks burned to the ground. Up to 300 people had been murdered, many buried in unmarked graves. In the time shortly after the riots, Greenwood began to rebuild though many were forced to endure winter living in tents. Despite relatively successful reconstruction projects, the community never again thrived in quite the same way it had prior to the attack. Astonishingly, not a single person was ever held accountable for any atrocity committed not one murder, not one case of arson, not even robbery. Debate over what actually occurred between Rowland and Page that ultimately led to the terrible events remains a matter of conjecture for two reasons. First, no written record of Pages account to police has ever materialized. Second, though the incident appears to be as plain as Rowland having accidentally stomped on Pages foot, local newspaper the Tulsa Tribune reportedly first characterized it as a rape though even that report doesnt exist in hard copy. Microfilmed archives of the paper remain available, but according to the Commissions report, before the actual microfilming was done some years later, someone had deliberately torn out of the May 31, 1921 city edition both a front-page article and, in addition, nearly all of the editorial page. While those aspects might appear to be superficial details, they lend a degree of credibility to the idea the entire riot and subsequent destruction of Black Wall Street had been a carefully orchestrated plot. Perhaps the greatest threat Black Wall Street posed to the elites considering the Tulsa riots occurred during the historical period of robber barons, monopolies, and economic stratification rivaled only today wasnt as much the neighborhoods racial composition. Maybe, Black Wall Streets insular and prosperous economy a neighborhood thriving on its own accomplishments apart from the community and nation at large constituted the larger menace to the aristocracy. Though its reasonable to assume we will never definitively know every detail leading up to and surrounding the events of May 31 through June 1, 1921, its imperative not to allow the attacks to be lost to the passing of time. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. what about the young man who packed a school house with TNT and blew up his mother who was the kindergarten teacher and all the kids in the school along with her? 275 of them more or less I seem to recallI dont know where it was, or exactly when but I think it was around 1912. !! nothing new to terror.

Good history lesson. Thanks. an estimated 10,000 were left homeless, 35 city blocks housing 1,256 The original report may have been 20 pages or two paragraphs. In 2014 the Atkanta Black Star wrote a story which summarised the original. The US government has killed millions their insane quest to make sure that no one in the world is even slightly independent. Why is this estimate so hard to believe? The blowback of stupidity. Im blown away Ive never heard of this. Theres probably similar incidents list to history Im guessing. Smaller scale most likely. Self-sufficiency made these people targets, race made them EASY targets. Id love to see this event popularized; considering the current wave of ethnic revenge on whitey movies which glamorize violence and murder of white oppressors (Django, that recent slave rebellion Sundance Award Winning film) Why hasnt a black filmmaker depicted a successful and thriving black community that was literally destroyed? By white people no less. Oh wait theres no revenge, no hero whos a hero for murdering people. And as if tptb would allow the depiction of any community thriving on its own in America, much less a black one exceeding the neighbouring white communities. Very interesting reading material. I barely remember ever even seeing reference(s) to Tulsa Riots before, although I do recall seeing said reference. I dont recall ever reading the whole story, which apparently has more to it than was published. How curious, the fact that someone chose to help cover it all up by not microfilming original published materials. An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 2.6 shook Fremont Monday morning. The United States Geological Survey recorded the tremor at 2.5 miles northeast of Fremont at 10:29 a.m. TAIPEI An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.1 shook parts of Taiwan on Tuesday and was felt in the capital, Taipei, residents and officials said, but there were no immediate reports of damage. The U.S. Geological Survey originally recorded the quake, centered about 70 miles northeast of Taipei, with a magnitude of 6.4. Taiwans Central Weather Bureau put the magnitude at 7.2. LUTHER, Okla. (AP) The U.S. Geological Survey says an earthquake has rattled central Oklahoma. The USGS says the 3.1 magnitude earthquake was recorded shortly before 6 a.m. less than 2 miles east-northeast of Luther in Oklahoma County, about 28 miles east of Oklahoma City. Geologists say the temblor was recorded at a depth of three miles. The Greenwood incident wasnt a riot. If you look at it carefully, it was a massacre. Heres a blurb from the archive at Oklahoma State University. The Tulsa Race Riot was a large-scale, racially motivated conflict on May 31 and June 1, 1921, in which whites attacked the black community of Tulsa, Oklahoma. It resulted in the Greenwood District, also known as the Black Wall Street and Notice: 1) 6000 blacks arrested for their protection. Right. Protected them so the whites had the opportunity to burn down thousands of buildings with little resistance. 2) 800 whites hospitalized (no fatalities noted), while up to 300 blacks dead. As usual, the history is a whitewash (no pun intended). Recall too that the Blacks of the early 20th century were persuaded by Judaic money to support W.E.B. duBois. Instead of supporting Marcus Garvey, a man who promoted Black independence, Black Americans flocked instead to the soft slavery of financial dependency behind W.E.B. duBois, the Judas goat for the moneychangers. Todays Blacks suffer for that decision of their ancestors. The Chosen work day and night to control their chattel gentiles. Why would they want animals in the form of men to be free and independent? History that will never be taught in the public fool system. judaism DOT is/who-is-human.html God created them [non-Judaics] in the form of men for the glory of Israel for the sole end of ministering unto them [Judaics] day and night.

So since it must now be illegal to use that word, allow me to say, I dont think that the Greenwood murderers were of those tribes any more than the large percentage of despicable rednecks who inhabit modern-day Oklahoma. And, despite your being off-base with trying to blame this on those tribes, youre right about the ridiculous censorship. My point was not to blame the tribe for Tulsa, but to be clear what the tribe thinks of Blackswhile pretending to be friendly champions of civil rights. the servitude of animalistic black Africans should be perpetual.

This article should be posted on the Alex Jones site Prison Planet where people still believe that the 2nd amendment will protect them from a rogue government. Regardless that this event may have been orchestrated by the so-called elite it is entirely dependent on people acting like fkng barbarians. I didnt know that story but it explains a lot about Tulsa and Oklahoma today. That state is considered by many to be backward, regressive and racially prejudiced as a whole. Of course, every population of individuals will have at least a small number of progressives within it, but in Oklahoma they are negligible. Notwithstanding the musical, the state itself is unworthy of emulation by even the worst of the worst among us. It deserves to be considered a living museum of degeneracy of American Civil war history! 
1	Aiming to accommodate family members preferences and avoid any frustration, local parents Melissa and Ron Walters officially designated the upstairs television for anybody who did not want to watch the Thanksgiving football games on Thursday, sources reported. You can use the TV in the guest room if you dont want to watch football, said Melissa Walters, allocating the nearly 20-year-old television as a secondary viewing option for those relatives, such as her nieces and Aunt Shelly, who had expressed irritation in the past at the television being tuned to the NFL games for the entire afternoon. That TV doesnt get the good cable, but I bet you could find the parade if you want to watch that. Or you could always pop in a DVDthere are some good ones in the cabinet up there. Walters then reportedly commissioned her 13-year-old son, Noah, to run upstairs and get the DVD player working for everyone. 
2	BREAKING: Trump Makes MASSIVE Announcement... Will You Still Support Him After This Last year, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump made headlines when he proposed a total ban on Muslims worldwide entering the U.S. Though he promised the ban would be temporary, it was enough to spark liberals into a rage. One month ago, Trump seemed to soften this ban slightly during a speech on terrorism. At that appearance, he focused more on nationality than religion. According to recent reports, Trump was asked about this rollback on his Muslim ban during an interview with Chuck Todd on Meet The Press. When asked about his plans, Trump denied that he had ever softened the ban. As usual, Trump fans and critics were quick to take to social media to express their opinions on the matter: Sopan Deb (@SopanDeb) July 24, 2016 What do you think of Trumps comments? 
1	Following a flare-up of measles in California and reports of new cases across several western states this week, the disease diphtheria told reporters Thursday that it was excited about the possibility of a new outbreak in America. I really didnt think I stood a chance of re-emerging in a developed country again, but this measles thing is giving me some hopeI mean, why not me? said the deadly contagious infection that has been virtually nonexistent in the United States since a vaccine was introduced in the 1920s. I dont want to get ahead of myself, obviously, but these days I just feel like anythings possible. Man, another epidemic! If I get a second opportunity, Ill definitely make the most of it. Diphtheria went on to say that, if everything really fell into place, itd be able to reunite in the human population with typhus and polio. 
3	Feds Ignore States Rights and Medical Evidence in Raiding Legal Weed StatesShane Trejo A number of testimonials continue to emerge that indicate the tremendous healing power of marijuana rich in CBD, the non-psychoactive ingredient in the cannabis. It appears to yield benefits in treating a host of maladies. This flies in the face of what the feds and their well-compensated experts who said for year: that marijuana is a Schedule I narcotic with no medicinal benefits. Who is more likely to be lying: the feds and the pharmaceutical companies, or the millions of individuals who attest to the benefits of medical marijuana? The answer to that question is glaringly obvious. Based upon the results of a wide variety of polls, the American public knows the answer to that question as well. Federal prohibition has turned some cancer patients into felons. The feds have subjected parents wanting nothing more than to find some relief for their deathly-ill children have to the brutal criminal justice system. In addition to the human cost, marijuana prohibition bilks the taxpayer out of a staggering amount of money as well. The war on marijuana costs an amazing $42 billion dollars per year, according to a 2007 study. All the while, a mounting number of scientific studies show marijuana to pose no serious public health risk. Marijuana prohibition, and the war on drugs in general, has been one of the most damaging public policies in American history. However, the feds arent any more competent on any other issue than they are on drugs. They have a woeful record across the board. The problem with federal control is that Washington D.C. is hopelessly out-of-touch with the needs and the wants of the people. Outsourcing power to unaccountable federal regulators on medicine or anything else necessarily results in catastrophic consequences. Are those the words of a person who would have supported armed SWAT teams raiding the private property of people for smoking a plant that is legal to consume under state law? Of course not. That is why the Tenth Amendment Center works to revive the Republic of James Madison where state-level resistance was commonplace. We have had great success doing this on many issues across the political spectrum, but medical marijuana counts as one of our greatest triumphs because it is very difficult to demagogue. It is not easy to make a racist, terrorist or an extremist out of a sick child desperate for an effective pain treatment. The issue also perfectly demonstrates the dangerousness and the futility of unregulated federal power. The feds have tried for years to suppress this life-saving medicine from the general population. Thankfully, they have failed. But if they were successful in their bizarre crusade against health freedom, there would have been an untold amount of death and suffering needlessly inflicted upon the masses. The federal supremacists want a world where the states will is insuppressible with the ends justifying the means to get there. To their dismay, state and local resistance can put a serious damper on their totalitarian ambitions. We cannot allow the federal supremacists dark vision to come to fruition. We must take matters into our own hands. The feds have shown a stubborn unwillingness to change their behavior. If they were capable of reforming themselves, they would have looked at all the data in favor of medical marijuana over the years and changed course. However, the exact opposite has happened. The feds have doubled down at every opportunity to increase their enforcement power. Although once a chronic pot user, President Obama continued the long-standing tradition of being tougher on drugs than his predecessor. The only compassionate way to make decisions on important issues like medical marijuana is individuals working through the states, rather than with the heavy hands of federal power. While state governments can certainly make reprehensible decisions, their record of negligence pales in comparison to their federal counterparts. There is also a way out for individuals in a system that properly respects state sovereignty. People can move from local and state oppression to a better place. When the feds dominate everyone in a top-down manner, they do not have that option. Please join the nullification movement to help us restore a compassionate, sensible approach to governance. Through nullification, we neuter the federal bureaucrats and their corporate enablers on not just medical marijuana but EVERY issue. The feds have repeatedly proven their inability to be responsible stewards for the public interest, and resistance is already underway. 21 states have told the feds to pound sand, and legalized medical marijuana in spite of its Schedule I classification. We must stand in solidarity with those courageous lawmakers and voters protecting our medical freedom. Our collective health and happiness truly depend upon it.

2	Hillary Clintons VP Pick Was Just Exposed For Supporting Islamic Terrorism In THIS Disgusting Way Hillary Clinton has made some questionable decisions on the campaign trail, but choosing Tim Kaine has her running mate is a true head-scratcher. Not only has the Virginia senator been deemed extraordinarily boring, but he also has a long history of embracing radical Islam and denying the threats it poses. According to reports, Kaine appointed a Hamas support to a state immigration commission, once spoke at a dinner honoring a Muslim Brotherhood member who was also a terrorist suspect, and has accepted many donations from well-known Islamist groups. In 2007, then-Governor Kaine chose Muslim American Society (MAS) President Esam Omeish to the states immigration Commission. That choice was so absurd that even a Muslim group combating radical Islam criticized him for the decision. One year later, federal court filings revealed that MAS was founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America. That was hardly a surprise, given that Omeish directly expressed extremism before he was even appointed. He claimed that the Brotherhood was moderate. He also pledged to help Palestinians understand the jihad way is the way to liberate your land. Of course, he denied that was supportive of violence. Kaine also spoke at a 2011 dinner honoring Jamal Barzinii, the founding father of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood. At the time, Barzinii had been on the FBIs radar for decades, after an informant told them he was part of a network of brotherhood fronts to institute the Islamic Revolution in the United States. Clearly, Kaine has an interesting relationship with Islam. This is yet another strong indication that we can expect to see another four years of Obamas agenda if Clinton lands the presidency.

1	As they scoured the Internet for more juicy details about former CIA director David Petraeus affair with biographer Paula Broadwell, Americans were reportedly horrified today upon learning that a protracted, bloody war involving U.S. forces is currently raging in the nation of Afghanistan. Oh my God, this is terrible, Allie Lipscomb, 29, said after accidentally stumbling on an article about the war while she tried to ascertain details about what specific sexual acts Petraeus and Broadwell might have engaged in. According to this, 2,000 American troops have died, 18,000 have been wounded, and more than 20,000 civilians have been killed. Jesus Christ. And its been happening for, like, 11 years. Sources confirmed that after reading a few paragraphs about the brutal war, the nation quickly became distracted by a headline about Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clashs alleged sexual abuse of a 16-year-old boy. 
3	Guns, schools, mind control, revolutionJon Rappoport Fingers pointed like a gun. A pop tart chewed into the shape of a gun. A toy gun. All over America, schools are exercising what they call zero tolerance policy to suspend young children packing suggestions of guns. Behind this practice is the idea that populations can be conditioned against owning real guns. Start early, indoctrinate the kids, and society will change. In turn, such thinking rests on the premise that human beings are Pavlovian dogs. Programmed biological machines. If the program currently running is faulty, and fails to obey the mandate of greatest good for the greatest number, change the program. If the brain reveals a chemical imbalance (although no research has even established a baseline for normal balance), insert psychiatric drugs and correct the problem. Maintain surveillance on the entire population, thus convincing millions they may be potential law-breakersand they will modify their behavior, they will toe the line, they will march straight ahead and keep their mouths shut. For instance, how many people would now respond favorably to the idea that everyone can be programmed to forget guns even exist? How many people would agree to a program that guaranteed racial prejudice would be wiped from human memory? How many people would happily respond to the notion that environmental destruction, as an impulse, could be removed from the brain? How many of these people would even notice that such programs were eliminating freedom? And if they did notice, how many would care? Operant conditioning and mind control could have side effects? What does that mean, if freedom was never real in the first place? A recent opinion piece in the Harvard Crimson, by student Sandra YL Korn, was subtitled: Lets give up on academic freedom in favor of justice. Korn asserted that academic research promoting oppression should be stopped. Perhaps you can imagine what a university council, convened to define and rule on justice, would look and sound like. (Question for consideration by the Committee: should University funds for African-American left-handed lesbians supersede monies devoted to correcting unequal treatment of differently-abled wheelchair-bound Hispanic immigrants whose parents descend from bloodlines of Spanish conquistadors in the New World?) The idea that you can obliterate bad parts of the brain and preserve the good parts is now embedded in standard science. It is childish, absurd, and dangerous to the extreme. Brain researchers are, on the whole, disinterested in the law. They aim to create a new species for whom no laws will be needed. People will do the right thing, because their upgraded brains tell them to. If these researchers and their allies succeed, what we are now calling revolutions will be as pop tarts are to ICBMs. Well have mass uprisings that will shake the Earth. Because when freedom is slipping away, is actually being drained away, and when people know it, in their bones, when they can no longer deny it or sleep through it, they will show exactly how important they think it is. They will no longer believe that all this programming and brain research are aimed at curing illness. They will understand the madness being visited on them.

2	Sadie Robertson In Dire Need Of Our Full Support Given that they are two female 17-year-old rising reality TV stars, it is virtually impossible not to compare Kylie Jenner and Sadie Robertson. The two are in similar positions, yet live completely different lifestyles. Jenner became famous from Keeping up with the Kardashians while Sadie made a name for herself after being featured on Duck Dynasty. Now they have both become influences on young girls throughout the countryand lets just say they are having two very different impacts. While Kylie Jenner is famous for starting trends like #KylieJennerChallenge, where young girls attempted to inflate their lips using a shot glass, Sadie is speaking out about the importance of being true to yourself and your beliefs. Jenner is known for wearing promiscuous outfits that make her look like she is in her twenties (and frankly are barely legal), while Sadie is wholesome and talks about her decision to wait until marriage before having sex. If you want to compare the two further, you need look no further than their respective Instagram accounts, to see the very different messages they are sending todays youth. What do you think? Is Sadie an infinitely better role model than Kylie Jenner? 
1	Following the recent revelation that former CIA director David Petraeus conducted a protracted extramarital affair with his biographer Paula Broadwell, sources confirmed today that the far-reaching scandal has widened to reveal that mankind, otherwise known as the species Homo sapiens, has been engaging in sexual intercourse for the past 200,000 years. While the situation appeared at first to be limited to this one sexual relationship between Gen. Petraeus and Ms. Broadwell, we see now that it is far more extensive than we had initially believed, said an FBI official who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the ongoing investigation. Indeed, evidence shows Gen. Petraeus is, in fact, just one of literally billions of human beings who we now believe have on numerous occasions engaged in sexual intercourse over the last several hundred millennia. No matter how far back we go, we just continue to find more and more corroborating proof of people having sex, the official added. Theres simply no end in sight. Officials were reportedly first alerted to the allegations after the discovery of thousands of documents this week, including e-mails, letters, and photographs, which led them to believe that millions of other people beyond Gen. Petraeus have been having sex since perhaps the middle Paleolithic period, and continue to have sex today in various partnerships and in all 196 countries worldwide. A further investigation into the matter then revealed not only that people have been frequently engaging in sex throughout modern history, but also that they have been doing so at least since the first precursors to modern humans gained the ability to walk upright, and that sexual intercourse is a natural biological function that may indeed be widespread and prevalent throughout all human eras. The scope of this scandal is simply astonishingthere is currently enough evidence to implicate individuals from every part of the world, even dating back before the creation of modern international states, said one source close to the investigation, adding that the FBI has collected millions of first-person accounts of people who have either had sex themselves or witnessed others performing sexual acts. There are even thousands of hours of video evidence that cyber-security experts in D.C. and Langley have managed to find on the Internet. The real question is, Who knew about this? And for how long? the anonymous source added. According to reports, a comprehensive global probe jointly conducted by the FBI and CIA also revealed that, in addition to Gen. Petraeus, others alleged to have had sex in the past include Leon Panetta, Condoleezza Rice, Ben Bernanke, George Stephanopoulos, John Lennon, Charlotte Bront, Jack Nicholson, William Shakespeare, Andre Agassi, Plato, Ulysses S. Grant, Queen Elizabeth II, Ted Avery of Dayton, OH, George Washington, Karen Avery of Dayton, OH, every past and present member of the band Chicago, Sir Isaac Newton, Bill Gates, Andie MacDowell, Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo da Vinci, Vince Lombardi, and Adolf Hitler. A closer look at the evidence indicates that even the earliest primates engaged in acts of sexual intercourse, said Dr. Jacob Reynolds, a historian at the University of North Carolina. We have even discovered lewd depictions engraved on stone tablets dating all the way back to 10,000 BC in what is now modern-day Turkey. But it is very possible that this controversy stretches back farther than any of our historical records. Reynolds confirmed that in addition to human beings, many well-known animals are also thought to have engaged in sexual activity, including millions of bears, sheep, goats, and even numerous fish and insect species. Furthermore, sources indicated that sexual activity may extend all the way to the White House. While the full extent of the investigation is not known at this time, sources said the FBI will likely continue looking into the matter until everyone and everything involved in this matter is brought to light. At press time, officials estimated that roughly 15,000 human beings are having sex at this exact moment.

1	High-level sources at the accounting firm McCall and Associates told reporters Monday morning that the company does not currently have enough manpower to perform a much-needed round of layoffs. Downsizing is definitely on the agenda, but right now we just dont have the staff necessary to take care of it, said CEO David Carmichael, who explained that both the supervisors responsible for deciding which employees to terminate and the personnel tasked with conducting exit interviews had already been let go. Trisha in HR used to take care of a lot of this stuff, but she was fired in the last round of cuts. My only hope now is that maybe we can hire a few temporary workers to take care of laying off some of these full-timers. Carmichael then reportedly raised his eyes to survey his companys completely empty offices, let out a long, deep sigh, and put his head down on his desk. 
3	Mysterious Dark Skyscraper in NYC Exposed as Major NSA Spy Hub in Partnership with ATTBy Justin Gardner A menacing gray skyscraper,known as the Long Lines Building to New Yorkers, assumed to be nothing more than an ATT hub, is one of the most important surveillance facilities of the National Security Agency (NSA). An investigation by The Intercept found that the Project X building constructed to withstand an atomic blast and house and feed 1,500 people for two weeks is host to the NSA as it works with ATT conducting mass surveillance. Documents obtained by The Intercept from the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden do not explicitly name 33 Thomas Street as a surveillance facility. However taken together with architectural plans, public records, and interviews with former ATT employees conducted for this article they provide compelling evidence that 33 Thomas Street has served as an NSA surveillance site, code-named TITANPOINTE. Inside 33 Thomas Street there is a major international gateway switch, according to a former ATT engineer, which routes phone calls between the United States and countries across the world. A series of top-secret NSA memos suggest that the agency has tapped into these calls from a secure facility within the ATT building. The Manhattan skyscraper appears to be a core location used for a controversial NSA surveillance program that has targeted the communications of the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and at least 38 countries, including close U.S. allies such as Germany, Japan, and France. The skyscraper, which is a looming dark shadow unlit at night, was designed by John Carl Warnecke, a prominent architect in government circles, including the U.S. Navy and embassy complexes. Warneckes Project X was borne of a secret program code-named BLARNEY that began in the 1970s, where NSA began developing commercial partnerships for spying activities, according to a newly published Snowden document. It was likely used to target anti-Vietnam War activists and a host of domestic terrorist and foreign radical suspects such as Martin Luther King and certain American journalists. A Congressional inquiry in 1975 found the NSA invaded privacy and violated Constitutional rights, which resulted in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act meant to rein in the agencys abuses. BLARNEY remained a critical part of NSAs electronic intercept capabilities at least into 2013, when Snowden revealed the program. BLARNEY leverages commercial partnerships in order to gain access and exploit foreign intelligence obtained from global networks, the document states. It carries out full take surveillance a term that refers to the bulk collection of both content and metadata under six different categories: counterproliferation, counterterrorism, diplomatic, economic, military, and political. TITANPOINTE is one of three core sites of the BLARNEY program. There it links to ATT routers and operates powerful satellite antennae on the roof, which vacuum up internet data passing through foreign satellites in another secret programs known as SKIDROWE. It is unclear whether NSA can directly tap in to ATTs communications at will, but the telecom giant has long been a willing partner to the surveillance state. As early as 1976, ATT was shielded from scrutiny by President Ford, who called the company an agent of the United States acting under contract with the Executive Branch. The NSA talked of ATTs extreme willingness to help in collecting billions of emails, at a time when revelations of domestic surveillance and warrantless wiretapping gripped the nation. This is yet more proof that our communications service providers have become, whether willingly or unwillingly, an arm of the surveillance state, said Elizabeth Goitein, co-director of the liberty and national security program at the Brennan Center for Justice. The NSA is presumably operating under authorities that enable it to target foreigners, but the fact that it is so deeply embedded in our domestic communications infrastructure should tip people off that the effects of this kind of surveillance cannot be neatly limited to non-Americans. The dark, foreboding look of TITANPOINTE fits well with its long history of rights violations, in the name of advancing U.S. hegemony through war-making and economic and political sabotage. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. An article on Snowjob and Ebay billionaire NSA-loving French-born Pierre Omidyars news front The Intercept that concludes the Black Phallus spy edifice Titanpointe is all about advancing US hegemony?.despite the fact the same Kabal pulling Omidyars and Snowjobs strings recently transferred US control over the internet to ICANN for UN control under global governance.

2	Claude Van Damme Blacklisted By Hollywood After Showing His Allegiance To America And Trump Martial artist, writer and director Jean Claude Van Damme outraged liberals in a recent interview with TMZ. When Van Damme was asked about the cyber warfare from Russia and how he thinks it will affect America, he gave a very blunt response. Because I love America and I came here with nothing and I became a star because of these people, he began. And I am very well in America. America right now needs to be treated like a business. When a guy has invested 2-3-4-5-6 billion dollars into this country, he wants to protect his interests, he continued, referring to Trumps success as a businessman. So right now theres no more time to talk about cyber-attack. No more time to talk about nothing else other than to fly to Russia, have a vodka with Mr. Putin and try to make peace. Because all the rest are weak countries, except America is strong, and Russia is strong, he concluded. So, you have to shake hands. He then went on to address the medias fixation on Trumps lewd comments about women. Do you know how many guys I know who say the word p-u-s-s-you-know-what many, many times a day? Guys youre talking about the wrong things in politics, he argued. Right now, you need a guy likeI would say, look, I love my brother Muslim. They love martial arts. I love them. I love everybody on Earth. Right now, we need Donald Trump. Watch the full interview below and tell us what you think. 
1	Responding with lightning-quick reflexes to her dinner guests proposal, area mother Linda McGregor reportedly grabbed a 10-inch chefs knife Thursday night and held it up to the throat of family friend Diane Wallace following her offer to help with the dishes. Say one more thing about clearing the table or putting the dishes in the dishwasher, Diane, and Ill gut you like a fish, said the 56-year-old, intently staring into Wallaces eyes as she pressed the blade just firmly enough against the womans neck for it to draw a single bead of blood. Pour yourself another glass of red wine and just forget all about these dirty plates, the used silverware, or any of the pots and pans. Because if you even so much as step foot in the kitchen while Im cleaning up, the next thing youll seethe last thing youll seeis me slicing you open from head to toe. Got it? Sources confirmed McGregor later plunged the knife deep into her husbands chest when he asked her if she would leave the dishes for later and join the rest of the party for a game of Scattergories. 
2	Michelle Obama Shocks The Nation By What Shes Spending 10 Million On Well, it appears that the Obamas have no plans on toning down their lavish lifestyle, no matter how much the American public criticizes them for it. Despite reports that the couple have spent more than any previous coupe on travels (hundreds of millions of dollars), it appears that Michelle is ready to drop $10 million on herself. During just one vacation, Michelle racked up more than $10 million in miscellaneous purchases. The First Lady treated herself to luxurious shopping, massages, and vodka from the top shelf. According to the whitehousedossier.com, the amount spent on these vacations is only a drop in the bucket compared to the overall cost to the public. Its no surprise that taxpayers are fed up with the couple, who seem to view themselves as royalty. It appears that even Obama is absolutely furious about this latest spending spree as well. Apparently $10 million is where he draws the line. What do you think? Are you sick of the Obamas putting themselves and their own agendas before the American public? 
2	Obama Faces Impeachment After South Dakota Takes THIS Massive Stand Against him. According to recent reports, the Republican Party in South Dakota just passed a resolution calling for the impeachment of Barack Obama, claiming that he has violated his oath of office in numerous ways. The states specifically cited his controversial decision to use executive authority to free five Taliban prisoners in exchange for traitor Bowe Bergdahl. Ive got a thick book on impeachable offense of the president, Allan Unruh, who sponsored the resolution, said in a statement. He went on to conclude that the measure would send a symbolic message that liberty shall be the law of the land. The only thing [Obamas] done the last six years that I approve of is when he adopted a pet, Larry Elaison added. The measure in South Dakota is not designed to jump into the process. Rather, it states that the president should continue to be held accountable for his actions. What do you think? Do you support South Dakota? 
3	Fukushima: The Untouchable Eco-Apocalypse No One Is Talking AboutBy Alex Pietrowski The media, politicians and the world at large seem to be engaging in extreme denial regarding Fukushima. A survey of mainstream media coverage of the fallout of this event reveals the trend of covering this story as a human interest affair, not as the immediate threat it truly is. The effects on nature are already being seen, yet even among the environmentalist factions of media, there is strong denial of the damage already done and of what is to come as the crisis approaches its sixth year. Some 300 tons of radioactive water are dumped into the Pacific Ocean each day, and signs are showing that this catastrophe is gravely affecting sea-life and wildlife in and around the Pacific. The FDA maintains that there is no evidence of contamination by Fukushima-borne radionuclides in the American food supply, yet this opinion is contested by some independent researchers. A report by the Fairewinds Energy Educationsays that cancer is on the rise in areas around the failed power plant, and that millions will die in coming years as a result. As election year in the U.S. approaches its dramatic climax, it has been striking to observe that neither of the major two-party candidates, or third-party candidates for that matter, have mentioned this crisis at all during the entire election run up. It is a non-issue in American politics, and if youre listening, the silence is deafening. Thus far, all plans to stopradioactive contamination of the Pacific Ocean and the Japanese Islands have failed, the most impressive of which is the construction of a $320 million underground wall of frozen dirt to block the seepage of groundwater into surrounding areas. 1oo feet deep and over a mile long, the land-side impermeable wallis already failing as rainfall from recent typhoons has caused partial melting of sections of the ice wall. A previous and ongoing cleanup effort requiring the onsite storage of contaminated water near the Fukushima Daiichi is merely a band-aid as radioactive water continues to accumulate by the day, with no long-term plan for proper disposal. The reality here is that this crisis is untouchable in its scope and unparalleled in its lethality, and TEPCOs 40-year-plan to decommission the plant will be a failure. No one of significant import is talking about this crisis or working to elevate it as a national and international priority. The American political scene is focused instead on the selection of the next president being chosen between two candidates who clearly have zero interest in addressing this dire issue. Is this because nothing can be done about it? Is this because the energy industry is controlling the conversation and covering up the truth? Or is this because the agenda for the U.S. at present is geared to destabilization and a push for expansion of the Orwellian Permanent War, and ecological disasters are supportive of the global depopulation scheme in play? In any case, the Fukushima meltdown is a slow-burning apocalyptic event that desperately needs our attention.

3	Photos Confirm U.K. Special Forces Protecting Terrorists In SyriaBy Brandon Turbeville The pictures themselves date back to June of this year and appear to have been taken shortly after a battle at al-Tanf between the New Syrian Army and ISIS, both Western-backed terrorist organizations. The British soldiers are photographed allegedly setting up a perimeter in order to guard the NSA base from further incursion by ISIS. As the BBC reports, According to eyewitnesses, they were there in a defensive role. But they are carrying an arsenal of equipment including sniper rifles, heavy machine guns and anti-tank missiles. If IS attacked again they would have been able to put up a considerable fight. A New Syrian Armys spokesman refused to comment on the pictures of the special forces, but acknowledged their help. He said: We are receiving special forces training from our British and American partners. Were also getting weapons and equipment from the Pentagon as well as complete air support. Kareem Shaheen and Ewan McAskill of The Guardian added more detail in their own report published on August 9. They wrote, It is believed to be the first time British forces have been photographed operating inside Syria, where they are engaged in relatively small numbers in wide-ranging roles that include surveillance, advisory and combat. The Thalab (Fox) vehicles are essentially modified, militarised and upgraded Toyota 4x4s used for long distance reconnaissance and surveillance missions, which were developed jointly in the middle of the last decade by a state-backed defence company in Jordan and the UK company Jankel. The vehicle, which has mounted weaponry and is often used for border patrols, has been primarily used by Jordanian special forces. Al-Tanf, where the vehicles were reportedly photographed, is a border crossing between Syria and Iraq that had been under Isis control, and is also not far from the Jordanian border. It is unclear how many Nato countries have deployed the modified trucks, though Belgium ordered a shipment of modified Fox vehicles earlier this year. The images seem to show British forces securing the perimeter of the rebel base following an attack by Isis, according to the BBC. The soldiers can be seen carrying anti-tank missiles, sniper rifles and other heavy artillery. The New Syrian Army is designated as a moderate terrorist organization and fights under the umbrella of the Free Syrian Army, another Western-backed moderate operation that has committed innumerable horrific acts of violence and atrocities all throughout the Syrian crisis. It should be noted that the terrorist group that beheaded a young child on camera weeks ago, Nour al-Din al-Zenghi, was also considered a moderate organization and one that had been vetted by the U.S. State Department as worthy of receiving TOW missiles. As Michael Uhler of SouthFront describes the NSA, Unlike the clear knowledge surrounding AmericanYPG relations of involvement, much less is known about US ties to the groups operating in the deserts of southern Syria. Two important groups operating in this area are the Forces of the Martyr Ahmad al-Abdo (Arabic: ) and the New Syrian Army (NSyA) (Arabic: ). Although both of the aforementioned groups receive support from the US, the level of involvement differs. The partnership between America and the NSyA can be regarded as tighter than that of the YPG. Even though the NSyA could arguably be one of the smallest groups comprised under the so-called FSA, the level of training, coordination and equipment surpasses most other groups. Rumors have circulated indicating the possibility of Jordanian special forces within its contingent. (The NSyA has coordinated with the Iraqi government on multiple occasions surrounding the SyrianIraqi border). King Abdullah II of Jordan revealed earlier this year that Jordanian special forces were indeed participating with rebels in this area. The sudden appearance of the NSyA occurred on November 15th, 2015. The NSyA launched its first operation on al-Tanf, which resulted in an attack on ammunition storehouses as well as on a bomb factory. Not much more information other than this video has been released about this raid. Bolstered by Jordan and America, the degree of cooperation can be seen in the groups operational security (OPSEC). Quite different from the groups which fall under the umbrella of the FSA, the NSyA appears to be very professional and keen on keeping any sort of identification to a minimum. It is thus noteworthy that a group working so close with UK Special Forces and, perhaps, Jordanian Special Forces would also be the group that is so keen on keeping the identities of its fighters secret. While this may simply be a result of better training by Western Special Forces (despite relatively poor battlefield performance), many might be caused to wonder whether or not the Special Forces troops themselves make up the ranks of the group, making privacy a necessity not present with other terrorist groups across the country. It is also worth noting that the photographs were taken in June, the same general time frame as when the United States and Russian jets nearly clashed in the skies above al-Tanf. The mid-air confrontation occurred between F/A-18 fighters scrambled by the Pentagon and several SU-34s, Moscows most advanced bombers, Ted Thornhill wrote for the Daily Mail. The Russian jets had struck a 200-strong garrison of Syrian rebels fighting the Islamic State in At-Tanf, near the Jordanian border. The Russian military did not deny the bombing raid but it did deny that it targeted Western-backed terrorists (i.e. terrorists publicly claimed by the United States), making the argument that the United States did not make the positions of its proxy terrorists known to the Russian Air Force. Russian Major General Igor Konashenkov, Spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry, claimed the air strike was more than 300 kilometers (186 miles) away from the areas the U.S. had designated as being controlled by legitimate opposition forces. It was not made clear which terrorist organization was being bombed specifically but, given the time frame and location, it is reasonable to wonder whether or not the NSA was the actual target of the Russian bombers and the reason the bombing mission provoked such a strong response from the U.S. Regardless, what is known for certain is that both the United States and the U.K. have egregiously violated Syrian national sovereignty and are working alongside terrorists for the purpose of destroying the secular government of Bashar al-Assad. For this claim, no speculation is necessary.

Those pesky Ruskies. Im not so sure about the Russians any more. Wed have to leave them alone long enough to tell for sure. And we are not likely to do that so long as there are so many conservatives with that neo prefix. Or neo liberals for that matter The difference is that the Russians were invited in by the Syrian government and both the Americans and British staged illegal invasions of a sovereign country. Absolutely true. However, its interesting that last month the Syrian Envoy to the UN requested the UN and its partners oversee the humanitarian corridors within Syria rather than Russia. The UN is a western elite construct by the Rockefellers and Rothschilds, the same cabal pulling the strings in the US and UK. The request was reported by some outlets to be a snub to Russia but thats not accurate either. Its about a growing UN dominance in the entire region and beyond. 
3	Nuclear Drone Warfare Could Be Inevitable Consequence of Global Arms Race: ReportBy Nicholas West There has been an ongoing global drone arms race, as nation after nation invests in autonomous technology to keep up with the latest developments from their rivals. The U.S. has announced that this path will lead toward a reality where ALL nations will have armed drones within 10 years. This arms race has naturally spurred new technology to counter what is expected from adversaries such as laser-equipped autonomous drones, which are expected to arrive within two years. From there, anti-drone jamming technology has been introduced via the spectrum of electronic warfare. And even drone invisibility cloaks are rapidly approaching reality. All of this development has been a boon for defense contractors who are excited by the prospect that the battlefield drone market is set to at least double by the year 2024. The U.S. is currently thought to be attempting to corner this massive market with the recent signing of the Joint Declaration for the Export and Subsequent of Armed or Strike-Enabled Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, where 40 nations are coming together under the guidance of the U.S. to establish standards of drone import, export and use. [A]s former Pentagon official Michael Horowitz told Defense News in August, is a good way for the United States to shape drone policy around the planet. Horowitz added the declaration provides a clear statement of US principles and could be used to influence the behavior of other states over time. (Source) Of course, there are two notable holdouts from this agreement: Russia and China, which from the U.S. point of view undoubtedly will draw the line between compliant and rogue nations. So one is forced to wonder where all of this is expected to lead. As Asia Times reports (emphasis and italicized parenthetical comments added), Now military strategists are considering acquiring longer-range drones, especially those capable of carrying out nuclear missions. In 2015 there were reports that Russia was attempting to build nuclear-armed drone submarines. (This reference to submarines is significant, as the U.S. previously announced that it would explore the possibility of sending its own drone submarines into the highly disputed South China Sea.) It is a controversial strategy, given that it takes all the usual qualms there are about the increasing use of autonomous systems for war-fighting the ethics of devolving too much authority to what are basically robots, susceptibility to hacking, etc. but with much greater destructive power, given these systems range and payload. Nevertheless, it is at least worth considering. (Please see DARPAs own admission about hacking concerns for all weapons systems here.) Conventional strike missions with precision-guided air-to-ground munitions is also something that could be considered for an unmanned system, as it would provide the US with the means for long-range, large-payload ground attacks. These types of missions can presently be carried out only by B-52 and B-1 bombers, which are becoming increasingly obsolete; shorter-range systems such as the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, area very limited in their capacities for ground attack. In such a role, an unmanned LRS-B could probably pack quite a lethal load and avoid putting a manned crew in harms way. More controversial, perhaps, is the idea of an unmanned version of the LRS-B delivering nuclear weapons. Of course, the US military already operates a number of unmanned nuclear-delivery systems; they are called ballistic missiles (think of them as a single-mission, one-way drone). And nuclear drones could come in smaller packages, too. Thus far there have been limitations on the transportability by air of nuclear bombs with relatively high yields. Additive manufacturing where 3-D printing machines can build objects of any shape and size by laying down successive layers of material brings new opportunities for building much more lightweight structures. More lightweight nuclear weapons present new deployment and delivery opportunities. They could be much more furtive and more difficult to detect; they could be carried by small drones and therefore be much harder to detect by enemy air defenses, since an adversary would normally be expecting a ballistic or cruise missile, or a bomber. Longer-range drones make a lot of sense for the US military, when it comes to projecting power into the far Western Pacific. It still suffers from the centuries-old challenge of the tyranny of distance. It can take up to three weeks for US naval forces to steam from ports on the west coast to the South China Sea. Forces based in Hawaii could take up to 16 days to reach this area, and even Guam is a 3- to 5-day journey away. Considering this strategic straight jacket, drones make a lot of sense. A nuclear-armed UAV may not be on the horizon any time soon, but it is a certainty that longer-range armed drones are coming, and perhaps sooner than we think. The promise of such a system, and the strike options it offers, are going to be just too irresistible to pass up. Especially for the US military, which is seeking so-called third offsets capabilities in order to redress its growing vulnerability to long-range strike by such potential adversaries like China, a strategic drone would probably be quite appealing. Just as we witnessed with the creation of nuclear weapons, sometimes merely having them is not enough; demonstrating the willingness to use them is understood by some as the ultimate deterrent. These new weapons of war are being created as we experience further deterioration in relations between Russia and the U.S. regarding Syria. Both sides are stepping up their public statements about what could happen if neither side blinks. Russia has undertaken a massive 40 million person emergency drill to prepare its citizens for nuclear or chemical warfare. Meanwhile, the U.S. Air Force has dropped dummy nukes in the Nevada desert as part of its intention to upgrade its conventional capabilities. And this month, the largest unmanned vehicle drill ever is taking place off the Scottish Coast with the Allied Powers coordinating new systems between sea, land, and air labeled Unmanned Warrior 2016. Clearly, we are living in precarious times, so it should be with further trepidation that we learn about intentions to reach the next level in the escalation. Perhaps nuclear-packed drones is the inevitable offspring of the insane marriage of business and war. Lets hope that reason and extreme caution can be quickly introduced into global relations. Nicholas West writes for selfnewsPost.com. You are free to republish this article in part or in full with author attribution and source link. Well that is niece. The author ( West ), makes the statement in his article, it makes one wonder where this is all leading to. Meanwhile, the people of America sit and watch as if this wont affect them. No more operation paperclips we need to exterminate them this time. Kongress of the Usurped Ztates will surely keep the no-name potus at bay.right. 
2	BREAKING: Game Changing Evidence Found At The Home Of Chris Kyles Murderer Breaking reports announced that a new discovery made in the home of Chris Kyles murderer could change the outcome of the trial entirely. Reports claim that new evidence has surfaced suggesting that shooter Eddie Ray Routh was under the influence of drugs and alcohol when he murdered the American hero. When police searched Rouths home, they reportedly found marijuana, a bottle of whiskey, and a drug commonly used to treat schizophrenia. Experts believe that the new evidence could change the case for both the defense and the prosecution. The defense now has stronger grounds for an argument that Routh was mentally ill, while the prosecution could argue that marijuana was a conscious choice by Routh leading up to the murder. What do you think? Do you support the Kyle family in their fight for Chris Kyle? 
1	Associate vice-president Barry Ackerman has been struggling to determine exactly what West Texas Bank CEO William J. Holloway wants to hear, the shameless toady said Monday. 'I thought for sure he'd be against Proposition 13, because it allows home-equity lines of credit,' said the bootlicking Ackerman. 'But when I started slamming it, he told me he supported giving the public greater spending power. I just can't read him.' To repair any damage his comment may have done, Ackerman sent Holloway two tickets to The Producers. 
3	Are Japanese Bonds Signaling Trouble?Stephen Lendman What cant go on forever, wont. No ones sure when. Eventually the music stops. When that happens, watch out. Signals provide clues. Fed governors hint at slowing QE. Some analysts think by year end or sooner. Bond prices affect other markets. Spiking Japanese sovereign yields (JGB) suggest trouble. On May 18, The Japan Times headlined JGB yield spikes raise alarm bells, saying: Is it a sign of a full-fledged economic recovery or a looming catastrophe in the monetary making? On April 5, the benchmark 10-year JGB perhaps bottomed at 0.315%. From there it surged. On May 17, it hit 0.92%. It pulled back. It resumed rising. On May 21, its yield was 0.88%. At the same time, demand for 40-year debt waned. Yields closed at 1.955%. Its their highest level in almost a year. Bad auction results suggests higher levels ahead. According to Sri-Kumar Global Strategies Inc., Japans debt is so large it threatens to undermine its bond market. Doing so has a global effect. More on that below. Rising levels means higher debt-servicing costs. According to Sumitomo Trust Bank, a 1% interest rate rise increases it by 10 trillion yen by 2020. On May 14, the Financial Times headlined Spiking Japanese bond yields recall days of 2003, saying: The 10-year yield has now almost doubled from last months low, similar to the initial rise from an almost identical low a decade ago. If the parallels continue, bondholders will suffer a lot more pain. In 2003, rising yields lasted one month. They stayed flat until commodities soared. They did so in 2007. The big difference this time is that the yen has collapsed, falling yesterday to its weakest in five years against the dollar, below Y102. Domestic bondholders lost only 1% since December. Dollar-based ones are down about 20%. The good news perhaps is defeating deflation. The bad news may undermine doing so. On May 10, Market Tickers Karl Denninger headling Japans Ticking Fiscal Bomb. Prime Minister Sinzo Abe and Bank of Japan governor Haruhiko Kuroda may get more than they bargained for. The yen collapsed against the dollar. It dropped nearly one-third in value. Doing so sent the Nikkei screaming higher. Doing sos not like what it looks. Currency devaluation to generate inflation has a price. The bad news came in the bond market. It went limit down on yield. Since the government is massively in debt, it will be unable on a cash basis to pay its bills, as they will not be able to roll over the existing debt when it matures and pay the (new) coupon. If (it tries) then (its) forced to continue to print even more yen to fund the interest payments, which in turn causes the value of the bonds emitted to go down further a monetary equivalent of a flat spin and is unrecoverable. Import prices already soared 30%. Japans heavily dependent on foreign oil. Many of its other industrial requirements are imported. In mid-April, former George Soros advisor on Japanese investments, Takeshi Fujimaki, tripled down on warnings. He believes massive QE wont stimulate growth. It promises trouble. By expanding the monetary base to 270 trillion yen, the BOJ is making a huge bet which I think it will ultimately lose. Kurodas QE announcement is declaring double suicide with the government. The BOJ will have to share the countrys fate and default together. The volatility in the JGB market as well as the fact that there is large selling represent fear among investors. They are early signs of a larger selloff and we should continue to monitor the moves in the long-term bonds. Japans finance is sinking into the ocean. Theres no escape from a market crash in the future when you have such enormous debt. He sold almost all his Japanese equity holdings some time ago. In early April, Bank of Japan governor Kuroda announced pedal-to-the metal QE. He plans to double Japans monetary base. Hell do so in less than two years. Any significant rise in JGB yields defeats his strategy. Japans government bond market stands at 240% of GDP. Its the highest debt burden among developed countries. Debt monetization doesnt produce growth. Doing what never worked before wont now. Previous Japanese grand plans failed. In the late 1980s, BOJ policy escalated asset and property prices. It did so to unprecedented levels. Market crashes, rolling recessions, weak recoveries, malaise, deflation, and dangerous deficits followed. Japans in unchartered waters. Money printing madness fueled the latest rally in global equities. On May 20, market analyst Graham Summers signaled trouble. Kurodas announced $1.2 trillion QE policy hammered the yen. At the same time, it fueled over a 70% Nikkei rally in six months. This has been the fundamental driver of this latest risk on rally. Fed governors suggest reduced QE by yearend or sooner. So its the Bank of Japan whos in the drivers seat for asset prices today. Whats good for stocks is bad for the yen. (I)ts been an absolute disaster for Japanese bonds. Since announcing new BOJ policy, JGBs triggered circuit breaks no less than four times due to increased volatility. Late last week, they violated their multi-year trend line. They did so briefly. Doing so suggests again. Perhaps theyll breach it sharply. It matters. Japans bond market is the worlds second largest. If sovereign debt keeps falling, rates rise. Higher levels affect global finance. Greece impacted it earlier. Its bond market is miniscule. Its less than 3% of Japans. For many decades, Japanese bonds were considered risk free. Investors bought them at very low yields. Doing so helped Japans economically. It grew marginally. Absent foreign investors, it would have fared worse. If Japanese bonds begin imploding, said Graham, expect trouble. Doing so means: The second largest bond market in the world is entering a bear market (along with commensurate liquidations and redemptions by institutional investors around the globe). The second largest economy in the world will collapse (along with the impact on global exports). Worse still, global central bank efforts to hold international finance together will have proven a failure. Japan is a major central bank progressive and accommodating policy leader. For nearly two decades, BOJ kept interest rates near zero. It launched nine QE plans. They equaled nearly 25% of Japans GDP. Thus far, its done so with minimal consequences. Other central banks believed they could replicate BOJ policy. If Japans bond market craters, then its Game. Set. Match. The greatest monetary experiment ever will have failed. (W)hat follows will make Lehman look like a joke. Global finance is flashing red. Its sending major warnings. No ones sure whats coming or when. Economies are troubled. Monetary stimulus failed. This time wont be different. All bubbles pop. Harder times loom. Growth requires job creation. Unemployments much too high. Eurozone joblessness hit another record. Americas real rate is 23%. Dropping money on bank balance sheets doesnt work. Main Streets beset with austerity. Dire conditions there matter most. People can only borrow so much. They cant spend what they dont have. Bad policies beget bad results. Economies already are troubled. Theyre heading for potential disaster. It may be worse than expected on arrival. Forewarned is forearmed.

1	Nearly 50 percent of 26-year-old paralegal Philip Jenkins' encoded long-term memories involve button combinations, game-playing experiences, and spatial-cognitive maps of various levels and worlds from Nintendo's line of video-game consoles, a team of neuroscientists reported Tuesday. The memory-evaluation study, headed by Dr. Franklin McCarroll of New York University's School of Psychology, revealed that approximately 47 percent of Jenkins' hippocampus is dedicated to storing notable video-game victories and frustrating last-minute defeats, while 32 percent of his amygdala contains embedded neurological scripts pertaining to game strategies, character back stories, theme songs, and cheat codes. In addition, his entire dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is devoted to remembering the time he did a helicopter dunk from half-court with Shawn Kemp at the buzzer to beat the Charlotte Hornets 82-81 in NBA Jam: Tournament Edition. Jenkins makes room for new Wii tennis&#8211;based memories by eradicating moments from his high school graduation and a 1994 trip to a local aquarium. Although these percentages are only slightly above the average for males in Jenkins' age bracket, McCarroll said that the memories most closely associated with the interactive gaming systems can be accessed far more quickly than any of his memories involving school, work, or family. 'It takes Mr. Jenkins 4.33 milliseconds to retrieve the memory of holding his newborn sister for the first time, but just 1.09 milliseconds to retrieve the memory of knocking Pikachu off the Sector Z platform with Donkey Kong's 'ground pound' maneuver in Super Smash Bros.,' McCarroll said. 'In fact, the only school-related memory he is able to review as vividly as the underwater-bomb-defusing level of Nintendo Entertainment System's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is his first day of college, which was spent playing multiplayer GoldenEye 007 with his roommates.' According to an fMRI of Jenkins' brain regions during the process of memory recall, his parietal lobe registers the same amount of activity when he hears the word 'mother' as it does when he hears the words 'Banjo Kazooie.' 'Due to sheer repetition in his peak synaptic years for processing new information, every neural strand in Philip's basal ganglia is embedded with the Konami Code: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, select, start,' McCarroll said. Nintendo-based memories are also among Jenkins' most frequently retrieved, researcher Dr. Francis Holbrook said. A series of recent tests suggest that when Jenkins accesses stored information in response to visual or mental cues, he is most likely to remember his family's trip to Disney World, followed by the time he beat the dreaded Stage 57 on Bubble Bobble without losing a life, the first time he rode a bike, the exact route he made Bo Jackson run to defeat his friend Jason Whitner at Tecmo Bowl, hiding underneath his covers while his parents fought noisily in the adjoining room, and the locations of the three warp whistles in Super Mario Bros. 3. 'On Friday, we showed Mr. Jenkins a series of images meant to elicit memories of times of great pain and confusion in his life,' Holbrook said. 'The first two events that came to the fore of his psyche were an incident in late 2000 when the screen froze just as he was about to set a new 'best lap' record on Wave Race 64, and his great-grandmother's funeral.' Holbrook also suggested that as much as 17 percent of Jenkins' cerebellum capacity may be filled with motor-coordination skills of the various Nintendo system controllers, including the Power Glove, the Power Pad mat, and the special joystick issued by Capcom for the Super NES edition of Street Fighter II. Some researchers have theorized that the amount of space Jenkins' brain allocates for Nintendo-based memories has resulted in damage to or the complete loss of his non-Nintendo-based memories. They note that although Jenkins cannot remember his father's cell phone number (415-547-6823) off the top of his head, he can recite without hesitation the password that allows you to view the credits in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (106-113-0120). In a parallel study, a team of Columbia University behavioral psychologists suggested that Nintendo-related feats and accomplishments also account for approximately 75 percent of Jenkins' self-esteem. 'Unsurprisingly, Mr. Jenkins' self-perception draws from the most important moments in his life, and is framed largely by the time he hit a game-winning grand slam with Saul in NES's Little League Baseball to help the New York team win the tournament,' Dr. Gary Nordstrom said. 'It is not uncommon for men his age to measure themselves by their greatest athletic achievements, and this is without a doubt Mr. Jenkins'.' The findings also revealed that about 60 percent of Jenkins' repressed memories may involve Nintendo. In a Rorschach inkblot test administered to him, Jenkins compared a series of amorphous shapes to a bird eating its young, his mother brandishing a broadsword, and the entire cast of characters from Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. 
1	Janice Fewless' sexual, emotional, and toiletry requirements are 'really starting to get disgusting,' her husband, Kenneth Fewless, told reporters Wednesday. 'Last week she asked me if I would look deep into her eyes when we're having sex and tell her how much I love her,' said Fewless, whose own personal needs include watching baseball, planting vegetables in his backyard garden, and not being asked to pick up heavy-flow tampons for his wife. 'Eww.' Fewless added that his wife's need for him to always pay attention to her when she is crying about something is too sickening even to consider. 
2	Final Decision Regarding Legality Of Nativity Scene That Has Been Up For 40 Years According to recent reports, a nativity scene at Jay City Hall in Jay, Florida has just been removed after complaints from the Freedom From Religion Foundation deemed the tradition unlawful. It is our understanding that the town of Jay owns and erects a nativity in front of Jay City Hall. We understand that the nativity is the lone holiday display, FFRF attorney Andrew Seidel said in a statement. It is unlawful for the town to maintain, erect, or host a holiday display that consists solely of a nativity scene, thus singling out, showing preference for, and endorsing one religion. The Supreme Court has ruled it is impermissible to place a nativity scene as the sole focus of a display on government property. Seidel went on to claim that the action tells nonbelievers and non-Christians that they are outsiders in their community, and they are excluded. He also calls the display a blow at religious liberty. Despite many complaints, the town ultimately made the decision to move the nativity scene to a location downtown. According to Mayor Kurvin Qualls the display will be more visible to the public than it was right here at city hall. The scene has been displayed every year for 40 years. What do you think of complaints from the FFRF? 
3	Obama and Eric Holder Are Still Lying About the Medical Marijuana RaidsScott Morgan We limit our enforcement efforts to those individuals, organizations that are acting out of conformity with state law, Mr. Holder told a House Judiciary Committee oversight hearing. [Washington Times] That statement is simply false, and flagrantly so. Its been widely reported in the press that federal prosecutors have threatened to arrest state officials merely for administering their own medical marijuana laws. One cannot claim that regulators performing their official duties are acting out of conformity with state law. They are the state. You cant threaten them with arrest and then subsequently claim that enforcement is only directed at those who violate local laws. This whole just-enforcing-state-laws excuse is the same nonsense we were hearing from the President a month ago, and the Obama Administrations ability to comfortably repeat this crap owes much to the medias total failure to follow up on it.

2	Clintons Are FURIOUS After Melania Trump Completely Humiliates Them In Amazingly Elegant Way Melania Trump fired back on her husbands critics this week in a way so discrete you may not have even noticed it. After a video was released of her husband making lewd comments about women, Melania wore a Gucci blouse called a pussy bow to the second presidential debate. As you probably know, one of the words Trump used in the video included a crude reference to the female anatomy. This doesnt appear to be a coincidence. Trump apologized several times after the video surfaced. He also turned attention to former President Bill Clintons behavior toward women, and the way in which Hillary Clinton has treated the many women who have come forward with allegations of sexual assault. After the debate, Melania Trump greeted Bill Clinton in her choice wardrobe. If Melania Trump is tolling us, this would be the sickest thing ever, one social media user tweeted. I detest conspiracy theories, but a man can still dream. What do you think of this move by Melania? 
3	Bitcoin Privacy Extension to Have Backdoor for Government Snooping?Eric Blair Andrew Leonard of Salon writes: The more popular Bitcoin gets, whether as a symbol of resistance or a perceived safe haven in financially troubled times, the more government attention it will inevitably draw, and the more inexorably it will be sucked into existing regulatory structures. Incomes denominated in Bitcoins will be taxed. Efforts at money laundering will be cracked down upon. Its the price of success. Resistance is futile. A user of virtual currency is not an MSB under FinCENs regulations and therefore is not subject to MSB registration, reporting, and recordkeeping regulations. However, an administrator or exchanger is an MSB under FinCENs regulations, specifically, a money transmitter, unless a limitation to or exemption from the definition applies to the person. An administrator or exchanger is not a provider or seller of prepaid access, or a dealer in foreign exchange, under FinCENs regulations. Additionally, the CIAs venture capital firm In-Q-Tel has taken a great interest in Bitcoin and has called some of its developers to give a presentation about Bitcointhis June, which is troublesome for the prospect of freedom and privacy. But resistance is not futile as Andrew Leonard would like his readers to believe. Other developers are working on Bitcoin extensions to add further privacy for users. Bitcoin transactions are already fairly anonymous even though they can be viewed on a public open-source record. Privacy lacks for Bitcoin users, not in the transaction, but in where the coins are stored. Specific encrypted coins can be traced through a transaction to a certain wallet whose owner is may or may not be anonymous. Even if the wallet is anonymous, everyone knows where their specific coins have been which could potentially expose the wallet owners activity and identity. A new Bitcoin privacy extension, Zerocoin, is seeking to solve this privacy concern. Zerocoin, being developed by Johns Hopkins University, will basically pool Bitcoins in escrow and scramble them between buyers and sellers to hide the origin and destination of specific coins. New Scientist reports: Called Zerocoin, its a cryptographic add-on to Bitcoin that allows for transactions which cannot be linked together. The key is that it does this without introducing any new centralised elements into the network or using laundering, whereby coins are spent through intermediaries to hide the root purchasers wallet address. Zerocoin works by allowing Bitcoin users to leave their coins floating on the network for someone else to redeem, on the condition that they can redeem the same amount of Bitcoin, similarly left floating on the network, at an arbitrary time in the future. Jon Matonis of the American Banker interviewedJohns Hopkins research professor Matthew Green, who said: Zerocoin creates an escrow pool of bitcoins, which users can contribute to and then later redeem from, Green explained. Users receive different coins than they put in (though the same amount) and there is no entity that can trace your transactions or steal your money. Unlike previous e-cash schemes, this whole process requires no trusted party. As long as all the nodes in the network support the Zerocoin protocol, the system works in a fully distributed fashion, added Green. Green is due to present his paperZerocoin: Anonymous Distributed E-Cash from Bitcoinat the IEEE Symposium on Security Privacy this May. It sounds like an amazing innovation for a currency that is already far superior in many ways to establishment currencies and banking. However, Green adds one disturbing statement with huge implications for the legitimacy of Zerocoin. Green told the New Scientist, Zerocoin would give you this incredible privacy guarantee, then we could add on some features which let the police, for instance, to be able to track money laundering. A back door. Apparently Green has received a lot of grief for attempting to provide an anonymous privacy protocol that would allow back-door snooping, and he has since backed off his previous statement even if it still appears in his paper. The back door isnt part of Zerocoin. Theres absolutely no need for it, and building one in would take significant additional effort. In fact, we only mentioned it as a brief note in the conclusion of our paper, mostly to motivate future research work, Green told the American Banker. So Green included the idea of a backdoor to motivate future research work? In other words, he seems to be seeking public funding to continue creating this backdoor. Obviously, the authorities would be the only ones interested in this pursuit which answers the question about who he is trying to motivate. The bigger question is who funded this work? In an attempt to put the issue to rest, Green claimed that a backdoor was impossible, anyway; If someone did try to build a back door for any reason, the open source Zerocoin would quickly become Zero-adoption. In any respect, creating a random escrow pool for Bitcoin transactions is a brilliant concept and an innovation that can be used alongside other open-source programs like Coin Control which allows users to choose what wallet they want individual transactions to go to. Yet as Bitcoin developers are hard at work finding ways to make it even more anonymous, will they be successful in preventing backdoors for government access, thwarting FinCEN regulations, and involvement by the CIA?

1	After years of relative stability, the Aerosmith unemployment rate soared to an all-time high of 20 percent Monday following the downsizing of the band's vocal sector, Steven Tyler. Tyler, already dangerously underweight, says he will struggle to put food on the table without a steady income. The announcement of the largest-ever round of Aerosmith layoffs sent shock waves throughout the group, but band leaders said that four decades of perfect employment was 'unrealistic' and that it was necessary to shed some of the graying, outmoded workforce. 'Explaining to a longtime Aerosmith employee that his or her job is being eliminated is one of the most difficult challenges we face in this business,' Aerosmith manager Trudy Green said in a statement released this morning. 'We thank Steven for his many years of loyal service, and wish him the best of luck in all his future endeavors.' Analysts speculate that the sector-wide layoff was a result of multiple factors, including redundancies in the singing-songwriting division, rising rehab fees that have cost the group millions, and a 34 percent decline in jump-kicks since 2003. In addition, some of Aerosmith's younger, more ambitious employees, such as Joe Perry, 57, are willing to sing and play an instrument at the same time, often for half the salary. 'Tying a scarf to a microphone stand is unfortunately no longer a marketable skill,' IndustryWeek editor David Blanchard said. 'To compete in today's job market, you need to diversify your skill set. Someone who can not only sing, but also play tambourine and haul heavy equipment, is infinitely more valuable to a company.' Aerosmith, whose unemployment rate has held steady at 0 percent since the start-up rock outfit went public in 1970, recently underwent a paradigm shift away from what many deemed an antiquated business model. In the early 2000s, Aerosmith stopped manufacturing hits and instead began to focus primarily on repackaging and redistributing its existing product. This, Green said, made Tyler dispensable. Tyler was reportedly informed of the decision 45 minutes before the band was scheduled to go onstage for a performance, and was told to pack up his belongings and turn in his Aerosmith 'wings' pin before the audience arrived. 'Thirty-eight years of work, and this is the thanks I get?' said Tyler, who was set to retire in just 18 months. 'It's embarrassing. When [guitarist] Ray [Tabano] left back in '71, we all got treated to a nice dinner and some cake on his last day. And he was only in the band for five months.' 'The only reason I came on with Aerosmith in the first place was the job security,' added Tyler, who said that after nearly 40 years of waking up at 5 p.m. sharp and going to work, he won't know what to do with himself when unemployed. 'And I liked being able to come in wearing an unbuttoned leather shirt and a leopard-print cowboy hat. Where else am I going to find a job like that?' Morale among the remaining Aerosmith employees, Tyler's coworkers said, is low. 'I'm going to miss Steven,' said rhythm guitarist Brad Whitford. 'He was a good guy, and, I don't know, I thought he sang pretty well.' This cost-cutting personnel change is Aerosmith's most radical shift in economic model since the band's experiments as a drug-trafficking cartel from 1978 to 1984, their brief 1986 merger with Run-DMC, and their short-lived 1994 attempt to switch over to fabricating microchips. 'This restructuring is exactly what Aerosmith needs right now,' said Justin Levine, an analyst at Lehman Brothers. 'Frankly, they've been in brand decline since that Super Bowl halftime show with Britney Spears.' 'Everyone was hurt badly in the big 1998 Armageddon Bubble,' said Bill Griffeth, host of CNBC's Power Lunch. 'At that point, practically everyoneeven members of the younger generationbought into Aerosmith, but it was clear that they would not be able to sustain that level of global interest. In truth, purchasing any of their material since Get A Grip has involved a substantial level of risk.' Tyler is not the only one in the industry to be affected by the recent recession. In January, Bad Company was outsourced to China, and just last week, Don Henley of the Eagles was replaced by a drum machine. 
3	Proof That People Are Reversing ALS, Lou GehrigsHeather Callaghan As Dr. Scott Graves points out in Why Im Not Participating in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, its been 60 years of funneling money into cancer research with what results?According this the ALS Association, it has received $62.5 million in donations compared to $2.4 million during the same time period last year From the Ice Bucket Challenge alonecan you believe that? One of my friends had this to say: Is it reasonable to presume throwing more money at the problem is going to solve it? Then Nick Brannigan, in his newest article, Boycott the Ice Bucket Challenge and Truly Support Those with ALS, reminds us of a few reasons not to simply throw money. Whereas I was rubbed the wrong way by the public shaming/humiliation aspect of the campaign, he demonstrates that the ALS Association supports research that is unusually cruel to animals again with what results? It translates into drugs that are often not effective in humans, and the ones currently available might slow down the deterioration but not reverse the disease. Furthermore, I was disappointed, but not surprised, to see his information about dietary recommendations for ALS patients that are rife with processed junk and sugar. It reminded me of the time someone I know researched recipes through a large cancer society only to find a chocolate milkshake recipe with encouragement to indulge. But the most encouraging reason to boycott such campaigns is the fact that people are reversing this and other neurodegenerative diseases naturally. Unfortunately, a campaign to get that important and potentially life-saving information out to the public at large has been shadowed by a giant ice bucket. I stand in agreement with Nick, that if you are interested in truly helping those with ALS, please consider helping to sponsor the making of this new documentaryabout people who did not accept the death sentence prognosis, to show others real hope, and provide real-time tangible results for them. As Coco Newton said in the preview: See the campaign for Healing ALS MND Lou Gehrigs Disease HERE Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist.

Recent posts byHeather Callaghan: All thanks to Dr Ken, I am here to share a good testimony of my self on how i came in contact with a real herbalist who helped me. i appreciate everyone for taken their precious time to read my testimony, 6 months ago i was diagnosed of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, this means that 6months ago i was Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis positive when i told one of my good friend about this, she sympathized with me and then she said that she was going to help me out, she told me that we should do some research on the internet, we came across Dr Ken [drkensolutiontemple@gmail.com] and my friend said that she has come across a lot about him and said that he is a real herbalist remedy to all illness, i was really surprised on this and confused as well, I was so speechless and quickly i contact him to help me and he prepared some herbs for me and send it across to me and he told me the way i was going to be taken the medicine which i did, and in the next 2 weeks i went to the hospital and they said that i am now Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis negative, i am very happy about this, when i contacted Dr ken again to tell him the good result , i asked him how he was able to help me, and he said that he was gifted with it that he can cure illness like. call Dr Ken: +2349052116690 or email him via drkensolutiontemple@gmail.com,,. I have heard of him before, but after watching his documentary healing spell I was turned on to the full story about Dr Camala. He is a man who has the Cure for AIDS,Cancer, Sickle Cell, Herpes,warts,HPV,ALS Diabetes and every kind of illness, through a whole foods vegetarian diet and natural herbs, what he calls Electric Foods. He went to herbal school college, and has thousands of testimonials of healing people with Herpes, HIV AIDS, and HPV several other illnesses. Lisa Left Eye Lopes of TLC was cured of Herpes by him and she was so moved by his knowledge that she went on to spread the word about him in every way she could. She also opened a Cultural/Healing Center for Children in USA before she passed away tragically. This all inspired me that i had to contact Dr Camala, because i was having Herpes which could not be cure but was only managed, when i contacted Dr. Camala, he sent me some herbs which i took, and now i can tell you, i have be totally cured of Herpes, My Name is Jasmine, I am from the South Carolina, Please if you have any form of illness especially STD,Infertility,HIV etc. you can contact him immediately through his Email Address Name: Jasmine Jennifer Email: dr.camalahivaidscure@yahoo.com PHONE/WHATS APP : +2349055637784 
2	Greta Van Susteren Breaks Her Silence About Fox Sexual Harassment Lawsuit Fox News fans were shocked this week when Gretchen Carlson filed a lawsuit against network CEO Roger Ailes accusing him of sexually harassing her. Now, host Greta Van Susteren has finally broken her silence about the allegations. I hate injustice, Van Susteren told reporters. Go through my Gretawire. I defend CNN! I defend all sorts of people when I think its wrong. Van Susteren went on to clearly defend 76-year-old Ailes. Historically, I dont like it when I think somebody is being falsely accused or wronged. Im an old criminal defense attorney, she began. This ones wrong, based on my experience. The facts I know are that this is not the Roger Ailes Ive ever heard about or seen. She went on to argue that she has never heard anything like this, and people are known to talk in her industry. I have no reason to curry favor with Roger Ailes, Van Susteren continued. I can assure you that theres nothing Roger can do for me or against me. My contract is with the corporation. Im not trying to get a new one. Im not for sale in this situation. You know that. If I didnt think this, I wouldnt be doing this. I was shocked by her lawsuit, she concluded, noting that they knew each other professionally. I went through it and its completely foreign to my experience, and my knowledge of the environment. Dont forget: Im a lawyer with two degrees. I wouldnt stick around if this were a weird place like that. What do you think of Van Susterens comments? 
2	What Obama Just Said About His Impeachment Has Stunned The Nation Well it appears that President Obama may finally be letting down his cocky front when it comes to rumors of him impeachment. According to recent reports, Obama recently asked the question, Youre not going to get me impeached are you? The question was asked during a meeting on illegal immigration, during which Democrats in favor of amnesty were pushing Obama to act through executive order, as he has threatened too. If he were to move forward, it would be one of many times that Obama has decided to act unilaterally and without the support of Congress. Now, it looks as though the president is starting to recognize that such actions have consequences. What do you think? Will Obama ever learn his lesson? 
3	A Fed Policy Change That Will Increase the Gold PriceDoug French Johnson says central banks are printing money faster than gold is being pulled from the ground, so the gold price must go up. Johnson is on the right track, but central banks have partners in the money creation businesscommercial banks. And while the Fed has been huffing and puffing and blowing up its balance sheet, banks have been licking their wounds and laying low. Money has been cheap on Wall Street the last five years, but hard to find on Main Street. Professor Steve Hanke, professor of Applied Economics at Johns Hopkins University, explains that the Fed creates roughly 15% of the money supply (what he calls state money), while the banks create bank money, which is the remaining 85% of the money supply. Higher interest rates actually provide banks the incentive to lend. So while investors worry about a Fed taper and higher rates, it is exactly what is needed to spur lending, employment, and money creation. The Fed has pumped itself up, but not much has happened outside of Wall Street. However, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), during their October meeting, talked of making a significant policy change that might unleash a torrent of liquidity through the commercial banking system. Alan Blinder pointed out in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that the meeting minutes included a discussion of excess reserves and [M]ost participants thought that a reduction by the Board of Governors in the interest rate paid on excess reserves could be worth considering at some stage. Commercial banks are required a keep a certain amount of money on deposit at the Fed based upon how much they hold in customer deposits. Banking being a leveraged business, bankers dont normally keep any more money than they have to at the Fed so they can use the money to make loans or buy securities and earn interest. Anything extra they keep at the Fed is called excess reserves. Up until when Lehman Brothers failed in September of 2008, excess reserves were essentially zero. A month later, the central bank began paying banks 25 basis points on these reserves and five years later banksmostly the huge mega-bankshave $2.5 trillion parked in excess reserves. I heard a bank stock analyst tell an investment crowd this past summer the banks dont really benefit from the 25 basis points, but were talking $6.25 billion a year in income the banks have been receiving courtesy of a change made during the panicked heart of bailout season 2008. This has been a pure government subsidy to the banking industry, and one the public has been blissfully ignorant of. But now everything looks rosy in Bankland again. The banks collectively made $36 billion in the third quarter after earning over $42 billion the previous quartershowing big profits by reserving a fraction of what they had previously for loan losses. The primary regulator for many banksthe FDICis even cutting its operating budget 11%, citing the recovery of the industry. The deposit insurer will have one short of 7,200 employees on the job in 2014. Thats a third of the number it had in 1991 after the SL crisis, but almost 3,000 more than it had in 2007 just before the financial crisis. So with all of this good news, the Fed may indeed be thinking they can pull out the 25bp lifeline and the banks will be just fine. What Blinder thinks and hopes is the banks will use that $2.5 trillion to make loans. After all, one-year Treasury notes yield just 13 basis points, while the two-year only kicks off 31bps. Institutional money market rates are even lower. Up until recently, banks havent been active lenders. The industry loan-to-deposit ratio reflects a tepid loan environment. During the boom, this ratio was over 100%. Now it hovers near 75%. It turns out that what the Fed has been paying25 basis pointshas been the best source of income for that $2.5 trillion. However, banks wont be able to cut their loan loss reserves to significant profits for much longer. Loan balances have grown at the nations banks the last two quarters and this will have to continue. If the Fed stopped paying interest on excess reserves and bank lending continues to increase, those $2.5 trillion in excess reserves could turn into multiples of that in money creation. Banks create money when they lend. As Blinder explains, Fed-injected reserves are lent creating multiple expansions of the money supply and credit. Bank reserves were called high-powered money because each new dollar of reserves led to several additional dollars of money and credit. Fans of the yellow metal, like Mr. Johnson who sees the price going to $5,000 per ounce, have likely been too focused on the Feds balance sheet when its the banks that create most of the money. When the Fed announces it wont pay any more interest on excess reserves, and banks start lending in earnest again, the price of gold will be very interesting to watch.

1	According to White House sources, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack spent nearly 20 minutes of a cabinet meeting Tuesday rambling on about recent fluctuations in the price of corn before President Barack Obama finally told him to 'shut the fuck up.' 'Look, Tom, I like you, I do, but we have some serious shit to talk about here,' said Obama, who during previous meetings of the executive branch's top officials has reportedly listened with patience to Vilsack's digressions before moving on to other subjects. 'Seriously, how long do you expect a group of people to listen to one man talk about corn? I'm sick of it, and everyone else in this room is fucking sick of it, and you need to shut the fuck up now.' Sources confirmed Vilsack spent the rest of the day asking other cabinet members whether he was out of line or the president was just being a dick. 
1	Though they've weathered some rocky times during their five years of marriage, Dale and Sheila Hefko have managed to stay together. The couple's secret? Their lack of a second car. Dale and Sheila Hefko and the lone car which holds them together. 'This marriage hasn't exactly worked out like I expected, but we're determined to stick it out,' he said. 'At least until I get my own car so I can still get around.' 'So long as we've only got one car between us,' Dale continued, 'ain't nobody's going nowhere.' Sheila expressed a similar determination to preserve their sacred union, held together by the used 1990 Ford Escort she and Dale bought for $3,100 in 1995. 'Last Friday, when I found out about Dale and [neighbor] Rhonda [Geilstead], I was gonna kick him out of the house for good,' Sheila said. 'But I knew he'd take off in the car if I did, and I had to go to the dentist in Mobile on Saturday. I wasn't about to wait two months for a new appointment, so I didn't even bring the Rhonda thing up.' Despite their difficulties, the Hefkos realize that divorce is not something to be taken lightly. 'Even if the court says I get the car,' Sheila said, 'I can't take it, because then he don't have no way to get to work, and he gets fired and I don't get child support.' Also factoring into the one-car couple's decision to stay together are their children, Jesse, 4, and Naomi, 1. 'If it weren't for the kids, maybe we wouldn't still be married,' Sheila said. 'But as it is, I need to get them to the babysitter's and the doctor, and I've got to get to the Piggly Wiggly in Prichard for baby food and diapers. Take all that away, and I'm doing a whole lot less driving.' The car is also needed to transport Dale and Sheila to their respective jobs, as well as to get Dale to his monthly meeting with his parole officer. Sheila described a typical day: 'At around 8 a.m., I drop Jesse off at Kidcare, then I take Naomi over to one of my friends, usually Bobbie or Angie, because Kidcare won't take Naomi until she's 2. Then I wake up Dale, and he drops me off at my waitressing job at the Toot Toot Steak House, then he heads off to the screen-door factory for second shift.' Surprisingly, it was Dale and Sheila's mutual need for a roommate, not a car, that brought them together. 'When I dropped out of high school, my mom kicked me out of the house, so I was just sleeping on people's couches until I could find a place,' Sheila said. 'Then, when I started messing around with Dale, he said he'd dump his girlfriend if I moved in and picked up her rent. After a few months I got pregnant, so we got married.' Five years later, the pair is still together. 'It's damn near impossible to find a cheap car that isn't gonna end up costing more to fix than what you paid for it,' said Dale, who regularly scans the classified ads and visits used-car lots. 'See, when you're buying a car, you've got to think of things in terms of the long run. When you sign your name on that title, that car's yours, for better or for worse.' 
1	Having admittedly 'reached the end of [his] rope,' President Barack Obama sent a rambling 75,000-word e-mail to the entire nation Wednesday, revealing deep frustrations with America's political culture, his presidency, U.S. citizens, and himself. The president's e-mail also CC'd a number of world leaders. The e-mail, which was titled 'A couple things,' addressed countless topics in a dense, stream-of-consciousness rant that often went on for hundreds of words without any punctuation or paragraph breaks. Throughout, the president expressed his aggravation on subjects as disparate as the war in Afghanistan, the sluggish economic recovery, his live-in mother-in-law, China's undervalued currency, Boston's Logan Airport, and tort reform. According to its timestamp, the e-mail was sent at 4:26 a.m. 'Hey Everyone,' read the first line of the president's note, which at 27 megabytes proved too large for millions of Americans' in-boxes. 'I'm writing to you because I need to clear up some important issues. First and foremost, I want to say that this has nothing to do with the midterm elections because I was going to send an e-mail regardless of the outcome. However, I guess one could argue that, in the end, the midterms are an important measure of a president's overall success, though I wouldn't go so far as to call the results a referendum. Legislatively, I feel I've had a lot of success that I think history will judge quite favorably. I mean, pretty much every modern president has seen his party lose seats during a midterm, you know? 'Anyway,' the e-mail continued. A 150-page printout confirms that while Obama's points are generally cogent in the first quarter of the message, the increasingly chaotic spacing, multiple spelling errors, and near total lack of commas rendered the later portions almost impossible to parse. Excerpts indicate an erratic use of capitalized and underlined words, with the phrase 'Stopped a second Great Depression' mentioned 14 times in a bolded red font double the size of surrounding text. In addition, the e-mail contained multiple links to the Wikipedia entry for Social Security and line graphs of Ronald Reagan's year-by-year approval ratings. Because Obama copied and pasted some critical passages directly from right-wing editorials and personal blogs, the e-mail included formatting irregularities that caused many citizens to receive a message in which all of the apostrophes were replaced with question marks. Moreover, some software flagged it as spam. 'I don?t mean to be rude, but I thought we were all on the samepage about helath care reform,' the 29th paragraph of Obama's e-mail read in part. 'It was part of my platform. You all knew I was goingt o pursue it when you elected me. And just real fast, going back on what I said earlier, the economic stimulus cut taxes for 95% of Americans. It didn't raise them. It cut them. You people need to look at facts and stop litnening to all the right wing crap out there. By the way, we're basically out of Iraq now. You?re welcome.' 'JESUS CHRIST, WE LOST OVER @ MILLION JOBS BEFOREE I EVEN TOOK OFFICE!!!11!' reads a sentence occupying a large white space between two massive chunks of texts, one of which was a 6,500-word tangent on the Muslim community center being built two blocks from the former World Trade Center site. According to White House sources, Obama 'snapped' late Tuesday afternoon when a staffer reminded him he was scheduled to take a call from incoming Speaker of the House John Boehner. At that point, a visibly disgusted Obama was observed slowly repeating the words 'House Speaker Boehner' before ordering everyone to leave the Oval Office, where he sat typing and, according to some, banging angrily on his keyboard for the next five hours. When White House Chief of Staff Pete Rouse urged the president to sleep on the e-mail, Obama told him he had already sent it. 'In terms of fulfilling campaign promises I think I've actually done a pretty good job in terms of fulfilling campaign,' Obama wrote in response to an anonymous comment made to a post by conservative blogger Michelle Malkin. 'I know I said I'd close Guantanamo and I sti5ill want to do that but it's harder than it looks. And yes I know I said it would be done by now along with energy reform too-trust me it is still a priority because 'TOGETHER WE CAN & MUST EMBRACE CLEAN ENERGY'' 'Yes we can!' the e-mail concluded. 'Ugh, you know what? Forget it. Believe what you want. Yours, Barack.' Thus far the response from the American public has been subdued, though a sixth of the populace did not even receive the e-mail because the message generated 50 million mailer-daemon delivery failure notifications. 'I tried reading [Obama's] e-mail, but it was just way too long,' said 48-year-old Sophia Washington of Moraine, OH, adding that because her computer displayed the text all on one line, she had to scroll from left to right in order to read it. 'I just ended up skimming to see if my name was in there. It wasn't, but I did notice that my daughter can stay on my insurance for one more year. That's great. I think that's because the Republicans won the midterms.' 
3	Should USA Imitate Israel Regarding Water Fluoridation?Catherine J. Frompovich What happened that influenced Israel to terminate a public health project after fifteen years of literally poisoning its people? Israels Supreme Court reversed the 1998 law requiring all public water supplies be fluoridated. As a result, fluoridation will stop on April 9, 2014. What will Israel do with any stockpiles of the protoplasmic poison, fluoride? Should they be surrendered and disposed of as a weapon of mass destruction, since it really is a poison? Or, perhaps, Israel could gift it to the USA, where fluoridation has been an ongoing public health poisoning program since 1945. According to the National Cancer Institute FactSheet, In 1945, Grand Rapids, Michigan, adjusted the fluoride content of its water supply to 1.0 ppm and thus became the first city to implement community water fluoridation. By 2008, more than 72 percent of the U.S. population served by public water systems had access to fluoridated water. [1] Interestingly, Israels decision came about from the result of two dedicated individuals documenting the dangers of fluoride in water, something U.S. health agencies ignore and even contend have no implication in cancer. [2] What were the dangers that convinced the Israeli Supreme Court to order fluoridation to stop? Besides thyroid health problems and damage, fluoride lowers the IQ; causes brittle bones and teeth; plus produces mottling of teeth called fluorosis. [3] FluorideAlert.org [4] posts a chart showing the percentage of USA children ages 12 to 15 years old who have dental fluorosis. Incidentally, dental fluorosis rates have been escalating since 1950. There has been a 400 percent increase rate in fluorosis since then! So really, how does fluoride protect teeth when it causes the disfiguration known as mottling? According to FluorideAlert.org, In the 1990s, a British scientist, Jennifer Luke, discovered that fluoride accumulates to strikingly high levels in the pineal gland. (Luke 2001). The pineal gland is located between the two hemispheres of the brain and is responsible for the synthesis and secretion of the hormone melatonin. Melatonin maintains the bodys circadian rhythm (sleep-wake cycle), regulates the onset of puberty in females, and helps protect the body from cell damage caused by free radicals. [CJF emphasis] [6] If melatonin production is impacted by fluoride, can fluoride be a contributory factor to cancer because it impacts free radical production and damage? Furthermore, is fluoride contributory to sleep problems because of its impact on melatonin? Heres the real scary part about fluoride in the pineal gland: In fact, the calcified parts of the pineal gland (hydroxyapatite crystals) contain the highest fluoride concentrations in the human body (up to 21,000 ppm F), higher than either bone or teeth. (Luke 1997; 2001). [7] And still the U.S. CDC/FDA push fluoride as being safe. Preventing tooth decaythe supposed prophylactic health reason for water fluoridation in the USAcertainly doesnt make sense when fluoride negatively impacts major glands, e.g., pineal and thyroid; lowers the IQ; causes brittle bones and teeth; and probably is contributing to hardening of the arteries. What kind of health trade-off is that? Regarding fluorides lowering the IQ, Harvard published a studyconfirming the impact of fluoride on the neurological development in children. Fluoride Action Network Executive Director Paul Connett, PhD, says there are 24 studies that have found the association between fluoride and childrens IQ. Furthermore, Dr. Connett is quoted as saying, An overwhelming number of countries do not fluoridate, including 97 percent of the European population. In fact, over half the people in the world drinking fluoridated water live in the U.S. [CJF emphasis] According to National Academies Press, Fluorides also increase the production of free radicals in the brain through several different biological pathways. These changes have a bearing on the possibility that fluorides act to increase the risk of developing Alzheimers disease. [8] Since fluoride impacts the human brain more than folks may have realized, isnt it about time the citizens of the United States emulate Americas ally in the Middle East, Israel, plus the European Union countries, and other countries that have abandoned water fluoridation, and start a grassroots campaign to stop poisoning their brains? So, where does the USA stand with regard to placing a protoplasmic poison, fluoride, into municipal water supplies in relation to other countries? FluorideAlert.com says this: One of the little known facts about this practice is that the United States, which fluoridates over 70% of its water supplies, has more people drinking fluoridated water than the rest of the world combined. Most developed nations, including all of Japan and 97% of western Europe, do not fluoridate their water. [9] Isnt it about time the United States got on the ball and up to speed with the rest of the world regarding fluoride? What do they know that the U.S. CDC/FDA refuse to acknowledge?

3	Sweet Potato Science Doesnt Fudge the Chemical FactsCatherine J. Frompovich Finally there is, thanks to little Elise, whose food project demonstrates very graphically the obvious authenticity: http://www.spiritscienceandmetaphysics.com/a-little-girls-experiment-will-change-the-way-you-think-about-food/ After almost 2 months of experimenting with regular sweet potatoes purchased at the local supermarket, there were no buds or vines sprouting. Then, she prepared another try with a store-bought, organic sweet potato that finally grew some wimpy vines according to Elise. Finally, Elise purchased a sweet potato from what she describes as an organic food market. Excitedly, she displays the sprouted sweet potato that grew after only one week, and Look at it now, she says, as she shows a multiple-vine-sprouting sweet potato. Now, thats something everyone can see and also document the results; can do in your own kitchen; and regardless of whatever spin is put on the hullabaloo of organic versus conventional foods, validate the results for yourself. Which potato would you rather eat? asks Elise. This graphic experiment by an inquisitive child demonstrates the need for serious attention to the foods we buy, eat, and will grow in the coming spring and summer seasons in the Northern Hemisphere. Much tinkering is going on with seeds anymore, and one never knows if one is purchasing GMO seeds. Buyer be aware! To be assured that you will plant 100% organically grown seed stock, Id like to suggest that you start researching now, while there still is snow on the ground, where you can purchase non-GMO or heirloom seeds. To help, I offer a few online resources to check out: Organic Seed Alliance [Information Resource] Annies Heirloom Seeds [Exceptional Selections] Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds [Non-GMO seeds] Seeds of Change [Vegetables, Herbs, Flowers, Live Plants, etc.] For readers who are not into growing their own food, heres an online resource center, the Organic Consumers Association, which will steer you to organic anything you would want to know about.

1	At a press conference Monday, President Clinton confirmed that the U.S. is clearing out a portion of Montana to make room for foster country Ecuador. 'Ecuador has been through some pretty rough times these last few years, bounced around from one foster homeland to another,' Clinton said of the troubled South American nation, which lost its government in a March 1996 earthquake. 'But it's a tough little nation, and with a lot of love and a little political stability, it's going to be just fine.' Ecuador's previous host, Denmark, returned the country after just three weeks, complaining that it consumed too much of its food and petroleum.

2	BREAKING: Another Police Officer Was Just Shot Down... Please Pray According to recent reports from the Alamogordo Police Department, a foot chase with police in southern New Mexico ended yesterday with one officer dead, along with the suspect. Alamogordo Police Chief Daron Syling claims the officer, 33-year-old Clint Corvinus, was struck by gunfire Friday morning and ultimately died from his injuries at Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center. The incident began with two officers on a routine patrol of the 600 block of South Florida Avenue, who made contact with a 38-year-old man named Joseph Moreno. The suspect had three active arrest warrants, including felon in possession of a deadly weapon, aggravated residential burglary, escape from custody, and several probation violations. When he attempted to flee the scene, officers pursued him. At some point in the altercation, shots were fired. Both Moreno and Corvinus were hit, and Moreno was pronounced dead at the scene. Corvinus graduated from the local high school, and served the local police department for 4 years. He also worked as a field training officer. He is survived by his parents, his girlfriend, and his eight year old daughter. I am again so very saddened to see that yet another courageous law enforcement officer has been killed in the line of duty, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez said of the incident. I ask all New Mexicans to keep this brave officers family and friends in their thoughts and prayers. The violence against our police officers has to end, and we must do everything we can to stand up for those who put their lives on the line every single day to protect us. New Mexico authorities are still investigating the incident, but Syling assured the public that law enforcement will stand strong. Our officers will remain professional. They will remain diligent, Syling said. Our officers are called to do this duty, and we will hold the line. 
3	Government Report Confirms That A Major Solar Event Will Be A Kill Shot For The United StatesChris Carrington JASON is an independent group of some 60 scientists that advises the United States government on science and technology that could have national implications. It is run by the non-profit making MITRE Corporation in Virginia. There is a massive amount of information in the report which was published in November 2011. For the technically minded, transformers are discussed in detail, highlighting the problems that space weather impacts could, and does have on them. There are examples from around the world of the damage caused to electrical grids when a coronal mass ejection hits the Earth. There are details of different types of space weather, their effects and likely outcomes of such incidents. Kappenman based his findings on past space weather, the effects felt at the time and how the advances in technology since that time would be affected by a similar event. Page 51-54 of the JASON report is of particular interest. It summarizes Kappenmans findings. It is somber reading. We have become so reliant on electricity in the last 200 years, its difficult to imagine life without it. Those who rely on refrigerated medications would be hard hit within hours of the power going off, as would those who rely on regular oxygen cylinder deliveries to their homes. The usual back up power in hospitals is 72 hours. After that life support machines and operating rooms will cease to function. Pumps at gas stations will no longer dispense fuel affecting everything from the family car to the food supply. Water treatment and pumping stations will cease to function, again this will affect a wide range of services we take for granted, drinking water, sanitation and even firefighting will be limited or non-existant for millions. Contestation over water in lakes and rivers will be a source of ongoing conflict for years after the event. Many factories that make parts for transformers will not be able to do so, leaving the United States at the mercy of foreign powers for transformers and parts. (If those countries have not been affected by the event themselves.) The very fabric of the only society we know will come to a grinding halt within a week of the grid going down. The government knows this; they have known it for more than two years yet they have done nothing about it. They are not hardening the grid, they are not changing at least some of it to short line instead of long line runs. There is no advice given regarding stocking up on food, water and other supplies beyond the recommended store at least a three day supply on the FEMA website. I particularly like their advice never to ration water unless told to do so by the authorities Without medicines and medical assistant diseases like typhus, typhoid and cholera will move through the population. A severe space weather event will mean the end of life as we know it. Only the most prepared will survive, and those that do will find themselves in a very different world. Such an event has the potential to put not just the United States, but half the planet back to the Stone Age, reducing the ability of others in the First World to assist allied nations. A severe solar event would have the ability to affect an entire hemisphere rather than just an individual country. Geo-political power bases would move to those nations that have a functioning government and electricity. Even people in those countries currently considered to be Third World will be living in conditions far more favorable than those living in a post solar event world, where electricity and sanitation are things children will grow up hearing about rather than experiencing. It isnt a case of IF a large flare causes devastation on Earth, its a case WHEN. The Sun is beyond human control, and will remain so. There is nothing we can do to prevent flares, coronal mass ejections and the like. All we can do is increase our knowledge base of the damage they can do and try to mitigate it by preparing ourselves and our families as best we can.

1	In the midst of a fiercely competitive presidential race with no clear Republican front-runner in sight, an increasingly depressed Mitt Romney shocked political insiders Monday when he released a new national attack ad targeting himself. The ad features the former governor of Massachusetts drowning his sorrows in junk food and whiskey. The ad, which is scheduled to air across the country this week, features an unshaven and visibly crestfallen Romney taking himself to task on a number of key campaign issues, including health-care reform, illegal immigration, and 'what's the use of even trying anymore?' 'Mitt Romney says he's a candidate for change. He says he's a candidate Americans can finally trust,' begins the self- destructive television spot, narrated by Romney himself. 'But in 2004, this so-called Washington outsider approved nearly four separate tax hikes. And do you know why he did that? Because he's a big fat disappointment, that's why.' 'Ugh,' the television spot continues. 'I'm going back to bed.' Running 60 seconds, including 15 full seconds of long, world-weary sighs, Romney's latest ad is reportedly his most ruthless. Blasting himself for a wide range of political shortcomings, from cutting back on education spending to being unable to remember the last time he took a shower, the Republican candidate is said to hold nothing back. 'Strength, commitment, hope for a brighter futureyou're looking at the wrong goddamn guy,' asserts the television spot, as a still, unflattering image of Romney is struck with a large red 'PATHETIC' stamp-graphic. 'Do you know what I did yesterday? No, not campaign. I ate a gallon of ice cream. That's right, the whole damn thing.' 'Is this who you want running your country for the next four years?' asks the damaging spot. 'Someone who can't even run a simple microwave without crying?' In addition to verbal jabs, Romney's ad uses several visual aids to call his character into question. Moments before the ad's conclusion, an onscreen chart helps viewers tally the number of times the Republican candidate has lain awake at night reliving past humiliations, while a 3-D computer model illustrates just how low Romney has reportedly sunk as a 'relentless failure' in the past month. Video footage from a recent Republican debate is also shown, though much of its audio is drowned out by Romney, who criticizes himself throughout, saying, 'Nice answer, jerk,' and 'God, you really don't know what the hell you're doing up there, do you?' The ad goes on to list many of Romney's alleged failures as governor of Massachusetts in bold white text scrolling over a black background, set to the sound of soft whimpering. 'I'm Mitt Romney,' the television spot concludes. 'And sadly, I approve this message.' Though early reaction to the attack ad has been negative, with many calling it unfair and even senseless, Romney has thus far stood his ground, claiming that the American people deserve to hear the truth. 'The men and women of this great nation have a right to know what's really going on out there,' Romney announced as he stood behind a series of campaign posters bearing his new campaign slogan, 'Anyone Else,' late Monday afternoon. 'If that means telling them that sometimes I lack the strength to change my clothes for three, even four straight days, then so be it.' According to MSNBC chief political analyst Barbara Schleisser, Romney's self-directed smear campaign is likely to hurt the Republican candidate's chances. 'In today's well-informed society, attack ads rarely work and often do more damage to the person running them than his or her target,' Schleisser said. 'Then again, you can only hear someone call himself a worthless sack of shit so many times before you start believing it.' Despite the controversy the ad has created, many staunch Romney supporters said they were not swayed by Romney's televised condemnation. 'I don't care what Romney says, I still believe Romney is the best man for the job,' said Phillip Walker, a Florida retiree. 'If anything, Romney's despicable last-minute tactic has only further convinced me to vote for Romney.' 
2	Find Out Why Obama Really Missed The Protest In Paris You Will Be Disgusted President Barack Obama raised eyebrows this week when he was noticeably absent in a huge protest in Paris. The protest brought together more than 4 million people, who stood up for the right to freedom of speech, as well as to take a bold stand against Islamic terrorism. The event was attended by nearly 50 leaders from around the world, including: British Prime Minister David Cameron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and French Minister Francois Hollande. The White House had no explanation as to why Obama didnt attend the stand against the terrorist attacks that have killed 17 people in the past few days. What do you think of Obamas lack of appearance?

3	Uh Oh: 47 Million Food Stamp Recipients Are Having Their Benefits Cut Back On November 1stMichael Snyder And considering the mini-riots that we witnessed earlier this month when the system that processes food stamp payments went down for a few hours, it is obvious that a lot of food stamp recipients can very easily be pushed over the edge. So what would happen if we have another debt ceiling crisis in Washington D.C. early next year and food stamp benefits are temporarily cut off completely? Wherever austerity has been tried in Europe, it has resulted in protests and riots. Could a similar thing happen in this country? NBC News is reporting that ALL food stamp recipients are going to have their food stamp benefits reduced in November. This is certainly not going to put those living in poverty in a good mood Millions of American families could face a sparse holiday table when food stamps benefits get reduced in November, and that could be just the start of deeper cuts to the program to feed poor families. The modern-day food stamp plan, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, is scheduled to scale back benefits for all recipients on Nov. 1 because a recession-era boost in benefits is expiring. And now it will be even lower. The government says that a family of four will be getting 36 dollars less per month starting on November 1st. That may not sound like a lot to you, but for those living on the edge of poverty it can make a huge difference. What are impoverished families supposed to do? Eat a diet that consists entirely of Ramen noodles? Of course the real solution would be to provide good paying jobs for those families, but unfortunately our leaders continue to pursue policies that are systematically killing American jobs so that is not going to happen. Meanwhile, those living in poverty continue to become angrier and more frustrated. We got a glimpse of this earlier this month. The following is a brief excerpt from a recent article posted on offgridsurvival.com Over the weekend, the debit system that allows people on government assistance to buy food, temporarily went down. The resulting chaos is a small glimpse at what I believe will happen, should the government plunge this country into some sort of economic collapse. A couple of Walmarts in Louisiana decided to allow people to shop, even though the system was down and they had no real way of knowing how much credit people had on their cards. The resulting chaos had the stores shelves in Springhill and Mansfield, LA stripped bare, as food stamp recipients attempted to defraud the grocery stores. When the system went back online, the grocery store found people who had as little as .49 on their Food Stamp cards attempting to steal over $700 in food. Local police were called in as the crowd started to turn ugly, and overflowing grocery carts were left abandoned in the aisles. You can watch a video news report about what happened at these Wal-Mart stores right here But this is just the beginning. To get an idea of what is eventually coming to America, just check out what is happening in Italyright now Demonstrators clashed with Italian police on Saturday as tens of thousands marched through Rome to protest against unemployment, government cuts and big construction projects they say take money away from social services. Hooded protesters turned over garbage bins in front of the Economy Ministry and set several of them on fire. Using sticks and clubs, they attacked police in riot gear. The police charged and chased demonstrators up side streets. The hooded demonstrators, who infiltrated a mostly peaceful protest, threw smoke bombs, eggs and bottles at the ministry and broke the window of a nearby bank. As poverty continues to grow and government handouts continue to get cut back, the desperation of those living in poverty in this country is going to continue to increase. At this moment, there are 6 million Americans in the 16 to 24-year-old age group that are neither in school or working. In fact, a whole bunch of major U.S. cities currently have more than 100,000 idle youth living in them Just look at some of the nations largest cities. Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Philadelphia, New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Riverside, Calif., all have more than 100,000 idle youth, the Opportunity Nation report found. It is only a matter of time until we see massive riots and huge crime waves in many of those cities. The conditions for a perfect storm are already here. All we need is a spark. According to a brand new Pew Research survey, only 19 percent of all Americans trust the government. Back in 1958, 73 percent of all Americans trusted the government. Right now, only 23 percent of all Americans have a favorable view of Congress. Back in 1985, 67 percent of all Americans did. Anger and frustration are growing and our society is breaking down all around us. Get ready while you still can. This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

3	Cop flips out, demands IDs, appears to assault and threaten to tase man for filmingMadison Ruppert, Contributor Thankfully, as of late there has been some justice in the ruling of an Illinois judge who found their wiretapping legislation unconstitutional as well as a relatively small-scale victory in the case of Steve Horrigan. Unfortunately, yet another example of this trend has emerged in a video posted on March 30, 2012, which you can see below (note: there is explicit language in the video). What appears to be two men were in the parking lot of a Walmart in Houston, Texas, filming the parking lot and the stores sign, at which point the individual seemed to reply to a comment or gesture from what appears to be an off-duty police officer, saying, You cant do video? To which the officer replies, Not at me. The man then began to film the parking lot once again and just as he was about to explain why he was there, the officer approached them and asked to see their identification. When one of the men explained to the officer that no one actually had to show him identification, he began to get quite irate. Yeah, you gotta show ID, the officer said as he appeared to attempt to grab or push the man holding the camera. The man said, Youre grabbing me? Are you serious? Calm down! As the officer drew his taser and began to demand that the man with the camera put it down. The man attempted to leave, at which point the officer said, Dont resist. After which he said what sounds like Nope, I need the phone, perhaps because the man was filming with a smartphone. The man repeated We are leaving, to which the officer responded, Youre not going anywhere now. You put your hands on me. You are not going anywhere. The man who was filming then lowered his voice quite a bit and calmly stated, I didnt even touch you one time sir. I havent touched you one time. Let me see your ID right now, the officer repeated, adding, Turn that off! The man then said, Its off. Its not even recording. The officer then told the man to give him his phone, to which he replied, Sir, you dont have to take my phone. It has nothing to do with this. Hang on a second, I can pull out my ID. I can comply with what youre saying, the man continued. No, youre not complying with what Im saying, the officer retorted, to which the man replied, I dont understand why youre so angry right now. Because youre videotaping me and I want to know who you are, the officer said. The man then appears to put the device in his pocket while another individual explains that they were filming the because of something about the grocery carts before the man filming said, Im not even a hostile person, I dont have a record. Yeah you are hostile, the cop quickly said. Cause youre non-compliant with me. The man went on to say that non-compliant does not mean hostile while adding that he was not being non-compliant. The two men gave the officer their identification although this didnt seem to calm the officer down very much as he appeared to say, Youll put your hands on me. Youll put your hand up, to stop me from what Im doin, okay. Well Im sorry I scared you, but were not hostile people, the cameraman replied. The man then went on to explain that neither he nor his friend had broken any laws, which appeared to only make the officer angrier as he then went on to claim that they could be put in jail. The man continued to say that they did not break any laws at which point the officer repeatedly said, You dont tell me! We know our rights. We know the Constitution, the cameraman said, adding, Do I sound illiterate? This seemed to put the officer over the top as he then said that he would call over a squad car, and then see how well you know the Constitution. Whats the unit gonna do, take me to jail for knowing the Constitution? the man asked, adding For standing for my freedom? The officer seemed to reply, Whatever. The conversation then began to go in circles as the officer insisted that one or both of the men put their hands on him, while both of them vehemently denied the accusations while adding that there were witnesses. One of the men then claimed that the officer was going to tase him and that he was a dialysis patient. A spokesperson for the Huston Police Department told Raw Story that it was not one of their officers in the video, saying, Hes an officer from a neighboring jurisdiction, but thats not for us to say. The officer seen in this video is not a Houston Police Officer and does not work for the Houston Police Department, another Houston information officer wrote in the comments for the video on YouTube. Officers from jurisdictions throughout the area often work extra jobs at businesses throughout the area and that is the case in this incident/video. The identity of the man and who exactly he works for appears to remain unknown and it is not clear what the time and date of the incident was. The description for the video claims, the men where later hand-cuffed to be arrested but released after another cop came to their rescue. The incident was only resolved after the cop tried to bribe and threaten the men to ERASE this footage or go to JAIL. Honestly, that part of the description doesnt make all that much sense, but the rest of the video is compelling on its own. Unfortunately, events like these are far from uncommon and seeing as American cops can viciously assault and murder the elderly and face no real repercussions, I doubt this officer will get so much as a reprimand.

1	Exactly one year to the day after Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro was tragically taken from us before his time, an apparition of the beloved racehorse appeared in the morning sky to teach Americans from all walks of life about the true meaning of Barbaro Day. Barbaro, assuming the spirit form of the healthy young colt America fell in love with before a severely broken right leg derailed his career and threatened his very life, manifested himself in the heavens during a Churchill Downs memorial ceremony in his honor. Across the nation, people reported seeing the thoroughbred's benevolent countenance appear among the cloudshis large liquid eyes looking solemn yet hopeful, his auburn mane swaying in the breeze, and his ethereal face suffused with a heavenly inner light that cast a gentle warmth over the masses. 'My dear friends, it is I, Barbaro,' the firmament-spanning equine proclaimed in his trademark deep, wavering baritone. 'I come to you on this, the first Barbaro Day, to remind you that despite what you may see on television and in department stores, this day is not about big parades, or fancy toys, or getting your picture taken next to a mall Barbaro. Nor is it about draping wreaths and garland over the neck of your loved ones, sipping mint juleps at office Barbaro Day parties, or even about winning horse races.' 'No,' Barbaro continued, shaking his head and softly nickering. 'No, Barbaro Day is about triumph over great adversity. Courage in the face of great uncertainty. Daring the impossible, despite having your fetlock and pastern joints fused together to stabilize your right hind leg. But most of all, Barbaro Day is about love.' 'May you love one another as you have loved me,' Barbaro added. 'Thenand only thencan every day truly be Barbaro Day.' The awestruck populace listened in rapt attention to the words of the great horse's spirit as he urged the people to remove their metaphorical blinders and open their eyes to the world around them; to never put too much weight on their sesamoid and long pastern bones; and to remember that Barbaro Day is not just the day that Barbaro died, but the day that human beings learned to put their differences aside and treat one another as they would want a 1,200-pound racehorse to be treated. As Barbaro spoke, the crowd remained reverently silent save for the sounds of soft weeping and the occasional shout of 'We love you, Barbaro!' 'Nothing pleases old Barbaro more than seeing a man help an elderly woman cross the street, or a family get together to laugh and be merry and eat a big bale of hay, or a child who is told repeatedly that he cannot win the Kentucky Derby but who works hard and believes in himself and does it anyway,' Barbaro said. 'That is the true spirit of Barbaro Day.' Reaction among those assembled was a mixture of shock and sudden total enlightenment, with many unable to put into words the great joy they had just experienced. To the disconsolate few who had previously refused to believe that the horse was truly dead, Barbaro explained that with life ultimately comes death, and that true immortality could only be achieved through one's actions during life. Barbaro also assured them that he had taken his place among the great kings and poets in the heavens, and that his legs and hooves were perfectly healthy up there. 'What a fool I was, trying to use Barbaro Day for my own personal profit,' said West Grove, PA resident Maria Brewster, who has been selling miniature plush Barbaro dolls at local craft fairs for the past month. 'I am going to return all my Barbaro Day gifts and donate that money to either the homeless or that charity that is looking for a cure for laminitis of the left hoof.' Many others claim that they received visits from Barbaro's ghost the night before. 'Barbaro floated in through my window and told me that I was a good girl and that I could be anything I wanted to be when I grow up,' said Kimberly Drexel, 12. 'Then I asked him if he was real, but he just tucked me in with his hoof, told me to go back to sleep, winked at me, and disappeared. But this morning when I woke up, the window was open and there were horse hairs all over my bed. It was really him!' Although the leader of the free world refused to reveal whether he had been personally visited by Barbaro, when President Bush emerged from the White House early Wednesday morning, the lines of age once etched onto his face had seemingly disappeared. Bush then unveiled an innovative small-business-incentive-based economic stimulus package and a universal health-care plan, which he credited to 'my big friend in the sky.' Before he departed, Barbaro took a moment to address those fans who stood by him throughout the darkest hours of his life. 'In death, I can say the things I never found a way to say in life, on account of my being a horse then,' Barbaro said. 'I want to say thank you. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for your kind letters and your prayers. And thank you for making my get-well cards extra-big, as my eyesight just ain't what it used to be.' As Barbaro's ghostly visage faded into the night sky, he wished everyone a happy Barbaro Day, told the nation's children 'Don't forget to finish all your oats,' and called for an end to the senseless fighting in Iraq. 
1	During a White House meeting with visiting Spanish prime minister and fellow allied-forces leader Jose Maria Aznar, President Bush subconsciously sized up Spain for invasion Monday. Bush's mind wanders while he shakes Aznar's hand. 'Aznar was pledging his ongoing support for the Iraqi war effort when, out of nowhere, this odd look came across George's face,' National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice said. 'He sat quiet for a moment, like he was going to say something, but then he just shook his head as if to chase the thought away.' At the meeting, Aznar ruled out sending Spanish combat troops to Iraq but pledged to provide a hospital vessel, a mine-clearing unit, a team of chemical-detection experts, and several oil tankers. 'And you have no nuclear weapons, right?' Bush asked Aznar. 'And no chemical or biological weapons or anything like that? Just curious.' Aznar also promised that if Iraq attacks neighboring Turkey, he would contribute six F-18 warplanes, a Hercules C-130 refueling plane, and a search-and-rescue helicopter. 'The Hercules C-130,' said Bush, staring off into the distance. 'Those are pretty old. Hmm.' As the conversation turned toward the siege of Baghdad, Bush interrupted and returned to the subject of Spain's military strengthor lack thereof. 'So, all in all, your country has 105,000 standing troops total?' Bush said. 'That's it?' Aznar later told Bush that Spain's King Juan Carlos sent his greetings, once again piquing the president's interest. 'It seems a bit outdated to have a king,' Bush said. 'Are your people happy with him? Do you think your people would rather rule themselves, like in a democracy?' Aznar explained that Spain is a constitutional monarchy. 'The prime minister must be approved by our legislature,' Aznar told Bush. 'You see, each of our autonomous regions has its own regional government and exercises legislative and executive authority in the manner outlined by the national constitution.' Bush then asked about Spain's longstanding troubles with separatist groups. 'That situation with the Catalans and the Basques,' Bush said. 'How serious is that?' When Aznar inquired as to why Bush was asking, the president said he 'was just wondering, for no reason.' 'There was something strange about his questions, although I cannot put my finger on it,' Aznar said. 'And he seemed very excited about the anti-government protests in Madrid a few days ago, until I told him they were protesting our involvement in the Iraq war.' Secretary of State Colin Powell, who was in attendance, also noticed some unusual behavior on the part of Bush. 'During the meeting, the president was absentmindedly doodling on some documents, one of which had a map of Europe on it,' Powell said. 'I noticed he drew a series of arrows originating on the Canary Islands and moving in toward Madrid.' Powell recalled that during last month's summit in the Azores, Bush seemed oddly fixated on Spain. '[Bush] said Spain didn't seem to be all that prosperous for a nation whose main export is oil,' Powell said. 'I told him Spain doesn't produce a lot of oil. Finally, we figured he must've been thinking of olive oil, and we both had a big laugh about it.' Powell said that upon returning home from the Azores summit, Bush continued to insist that 'there is some big oil-producing nation that speaks Spanish.' 'I told him he must be thinking of Venezuela,' Powell said. 'They are very rich in oil. So now he wants a full report on Venezuela by Monday. Ever since this war with Iraq, he's been a real geography buff.' 
2	ACLU Leader Gets BRUTAL Taste Of Justice After Daughters Encounter Men In Womens Restroom Instead of focusing on important matters at hand, liberals have decided to turn their attention on transgender bathroom rights, claiming that men who identify as women should be able to use the same restroom as little girls. Thankfully, not all liberals are blinded by the idea of being politically correct. Life Site reported that Maya Dillard Smith, the interim director of the Georgia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, has just resigned over the ACLUs position on transgender bathrooms. Her decision came after her daughters had a bad experience seeing men in their bathroom. Smith claimed that her daughters were visibly tightened after they used a womens bathroom, only to find three adult males who claimed that they were women. I have shared my personal experience of having taken my elementary school age daughters into a womens restroom when shortly after three transgender young adults, over six feet with deep voices, entered, she commented. My children were visibly frightened, concerned about their safety and left asking lots of questions for which I, like many parents, was ill-prepared to answer. Smith then went on to criticize the ACLU for promotion transgender bathroom rights for the wrong reasons. She claims their decision has more to do with funds than morals. The ACLU is based on who is funding the organizations lobbying activities, she explained, though she did not elaborate. What do you think? Do you applaud Smith for taking a stand? 
3	Court Rules Cell Phones Are Causing Brain TumorsAnthony Gucciardi The ruling follows a monumental study that found a massive 290% spike in brain tumor risk after using a cell phone for 10 years. A study that has real relevance for Innocente Marcolini, an Italian businessman who was a key part of the courts ruling. Marcolini was an active cell phone user, reportedly talking on the phone for around 6 hours every single day at work. Over 12 years of use, Marcolini developed a tumor which many scientists are saying is the result of cell damage via the electromagnetic radiation emitted from cell phones. This electromagnetic radiation, which is also emitted from cordless phones, damages cells to the point where tumors can become much more likely. DNA damage can also occur, similar to how laptop Wi-Fi has been found to damage both DNA and fertility in as little as 4 hours of direct use. Marcolini, like many professors and doctors around the globe, is pleased that the Italian government has finally recognized the link between cell phones and tumors like his own. According to The Telegraph, Marcolini hailed the announcement as essential to protecting susceptible children from the dangers: I wanted it recognised that there was a link between my illness and the use of mobile and cordless phones Parents need to know their children are at risk of this illness. The court decision is extremely important. It finally officially recognises the link. Itll open not a road but a motorway to legal actions by victims. Were considering a class action. A class action could very well not only gain media attention on the subject, but actually go places legally. In the event that enough consumers jumped on board, class actions could spring up outside of Italy and take on big cell phone corporations for the damages incurred by the use of their phones. Then again, Apple and other companies actually warn you right inside their manuals that the phones can cause serious problems and recommend holding it a couple inches or so away from your head. In other words, these companies were certainly aware of the real dangers to public health. Nevertheless, the ruling means great things for the future of forcing companies to answer for their actions and create safer technology.

3	Two Major US Aquifers Found to Be Saturated with UraniumBy Joshua Krause They found that the parts of the High Plains Aquifer (also often referred to as the Ogallala) is saturated with uranium at a level that is 89 times higher than the EPAs safe limit. The southern half of Californias Central Valley was even worse, with a uranium concentration that is 180 times higher than the EPAs maximum contaminant level. Altogether, almost 2 million people live above the most contaminated sections of these aquifers. The research suggest that the uranium contamination is being caused by agricultural activities. The nitrates in fertilizers and animal waste can cause the oxidation of naturally occurring uranium, which makes it more water-soluble. However, this research wont come as a surprise for many Americans. Two years ago it was revealed that Texas state officials had been concealing the radioactive content of state drinking water for many years, so this is no isolated incident. In truth, the toxicity of the drinking water found across America, is an open secret. 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. so in other words we the people are the real cause of all of the cancers found in this country since uranium is a positive cause of cancersad no, its the changes in agricultural production methods since the 1950s. for example, we have known for years that cell phones cause brain tumors.butits a big biz. but the national cancer institute funded by aguess who says its not an issue. yet, additionally, we find that women who carry their cell phones in their bras have a higher incidence of breast tumors. but its just a coincidence but my point is we the people produce and use the chemicals causing this Oh for Petes sake, act like a victim. You knew about cell phones, you knew about nuclear. You chose to ignore and now youre blaming Big Biz? I have no love for business actually I have nothing but contempt but the people are as bad, the people give in to every marketing ploy, the people want their short term fix. Now were getting into the long term consequences If you paid attention before, you could tell that its been falling apart for a long time already. Now, the damage becomes more apparent. We knows how much time is still left Until what? Until we glow in the dark?? Yeah. Too late then. Too late now? Is this the karma that befalls us for the nuclear atrocities that rained down on Japan 70 years ago? Do not be alarmed. Articles like this only depress me. What can I do about it? What can any of us do about it, as well as the myriad of other injustices we have to face? Our votes dont count, our voices fall on deaf ears. Up is down, right is left, nothing is as it seems, etc., etc. Do we sit around whining about how unfair it all is, or do we try to enjoy what time we have in this life? I choose the latter. Lifes too short to worry about things I cant change. Try to enjoy this life while there is breakdown and despair all around you? You cant enjoy life like that. No we change it. We dont have to DO anything. What we do is stop doing stop paying the banks, stop paying taxes, stop paying fines. Just stop. Dont answer their calls, dont open their mail. If you want to have a good life, that is what you do and lets see where that gets us because continuing to DO something (ie pay) is a fools mission. Right stop paying the banks, stop paying taxes, stop paying fines Yeah, thatll work if I want to spend whats left of my life in prison! The Nuke industry has been a great believer in the infinitesimal dilution theory. Now it has reached saturation and it is farming practices to blame? A bullet is dangerous but if you scatter the powder all over the ground the bullet in no longer dangerous..until saturation. Bernie Sanders plans to do just that! As he says, enough is enough! My vote and full support is going to him to be the next POTUS. #Bernie2016 Not to rain on anyones paradebut didnt we just go through the same thing with Obama? I agree. Now, more than ever, we need someone like Bernie Sanders to help lead the fight against the dangerous and destructive part of the 1% But dont take our word for it. Check him out not just what hes saying now, but what he has said ALL ALONG and better yet WHAT HE HAS DONE His record speaks for itself. Hes voted for war repeatedly. He supports Israel. Enough said. Besides its the system stupid. Pls. get yourself informed so you can stop sounding like the MSM! I dont think you should be calling other people stupid! Bernie is against war. He supports education over war! Enough said! No thanks, Im not voting for socialism Its been a yr. and you still dont know hes a democratic socialist! No ism to fear, Joan! #Bernieorbust Youre a little late to the party, Cindy. Most Americans realize the game is up and Bernie will flame out just like all populist candidates always have in the past. The controllers have already chosen the president. These debates and silly festivities you take seriously are for show, nothing more. Why would you vote for a flaming, self-described communist! Did you never study the history of the Bolshevik Revolution, or what followed after? Communism has never worked, anyplace its been tried; what makes you think it would work here?? HE IS NOT A COMMUNIST! He is the most honest politician to come along in our lifetime and if Americans blow our only chance of taking America back, we will get what we deserve, which will include anther senseless war! Bernie Sanders for President only! Evidently you have no clue to what honesty entails. Seriously, do some research on his voting record, at least. How honest is it, for any politician to campaign as an independent and then vote for every liberal democrat bill- in opposition to anything else thats offered. Old stump-jumper bernie is another one who wants to spread the wealth around and make college tuition free! Didnt your parents teach you there is NO free lunch? Someone has to work and pay for it. In other words, take money and goods from those who have worked and earned it and give it to the do-nothing couch potatoes. Dont you think weve had enough of that over the past six, or eight years? Someone stated the same thing to me about Bernie being a communist. I ignored them. Your a pit bull. I like that. Anything that ends in -ismis a BAD thingbernie is socialim..you like THAT? You like socialism then? Wow..really pitiful! I was thinking, So now Uranium is readily available in the soilto the extent where it can contaminate at 89 times what should be believed to have been the norm? Ummmso why are we up in arms about Iran having Uranium shipments for? Why did we invade Iraq for having yellow cake shipments? Dont waste your time. The powers that be have already chosen their next puppet and Im pretty sure it aint Bernie. Sorry my public school education is showing, Betsy! Thats what you do, go around putting down other woman?! Any who, dont have time for a rebuttal w/someone who sounds like they have given up! I for one am not going to roll over and play dead for the elitist! Humm, and I wonder why Bernie is running if he knows trouble is lurking? ( I refuse to use the words you just threw out into the universe, thank you very much!) You can either sit back and watch the revolution that is happening or be part of it! Cheers. I am not trying to put you down in any way, shape, or form. I am trying to wake you up. The world doesnt work the way you believe it does. We have all been taught to believe in wrong things by government approved public education. I have in no way given up but I am not about to waste my time and energy in make-believe land. There are many other things to be done to get ready. It is not over! How easily you give up my god! What have we done? What have you done? Then dont just fall apart and say its over, its over. Were going to make them poor arent we? Were going to stop paying banks and governments. Stop buying new things and start living in away that is appropriate to a world in dire need of restoration. Get off fossil fuels and get off money. Find other ways. You probably cannot get off it completely and you shouldnt try because you want to have a fairly decent life. However, we have to hold back in terms of luxury for a while as we work together to share our material things and our skills. Well get to know each other. It will be a good thing. Start now and practice because we are not used to talking to our neighbors and leaning on them. But of course, the lean is mutual. Dont waste your time. If voting had had any effect we wouldnt be in this mess. Weve been voting for a century. Give it up. Youre only admitting your own enslavement when you vote. Youre only saying you agree to the system when you vote. We can make our own system, its not hard. We have done nothing, weve just gone along. Well we had to face the music sometime. We have immense power. Well, good luck to you and Bernie, then. But from what Ive read about him in the last couple of days, personally I wouldnt vote for him EVER. I would ask you what you have read but why?! Im sticking w/the most honest politician in my lifetime (Im 60 and Im guessing youre 20 something?) that is fighting for US! Good luck to all Americans! Bernie2016 Wrong, Cindy; Im 62. Im a conservative and I support the 2nd amendment. Got it? Honest Politician? There is no such thing. We need more youngsters, like yourself, to fight for Bernie. Terry I are both 72. Two years younger then Bernie. So all the fracking in Oklahoma which sits very, very near the High Plains Aquifer has NOTHING to do with all this.. (roling eyes) Im not so sure that fracking is the cause of uranium saturation; I have never heard that theory anyway. But I do agree that fracking is not safe or harmless. Where I live in north Texas, we never used to have earthquakes until fracking began. Since then we have had several per day. And in those earthquake zones, natural gas has been seeping thru cracks in the ground causing explosions. They try to blame the explosions on the utility companies supplying natural gas. One home (and the people living in it) that was blown to bits was all electric. It must be nice to be able to remain so naive in the midst of an awakening. America has this rabbit hole, Cindy. Its really deep. You need to edge closer and take a peek over the edge because right now you look really silly in your rah rah cheerleader skirt. Go ahead and get all self-righteous and pissy with me like you did everyone else here trying to wake you up. Such a nice comment! You have a fantastic day! I have things to go fight for! Enjoy your life! Bernie2016. Happy to know that you are a warrior. Terry I are Twin Souls, dedicated to bankrupt the cancer industry. We have been presented the shield for our natural human immune system and have been sharing the gifts of knowledge we have received with everyone for the last 8 years. Is there room for one more cause for you to fight for? As a matter of fact, I just watched a Bernie Sanders candid interview last nightno wonder his initials are BS. Im not saying that he is disingenuous, I am saying that given his openly Socialist agenda (something I actually appreciatethat hes open about it), how many Bills stuck in Congress will it take before his voters decide that it was all for naught. There is a big cluband you aint in it. -George Carlin With the secret robbery that took place under Bush, and the open robbery that took place under Obama, it is any wonder that anyone believes anything that comes out of Washington DC. If it isnt apparent to you yet, the only people who are going to fix our situation is us. If I end up going to the polls (which is highly unlikely, given that I dont get that wasted time back), it will be for Jesse Ventura, or, reluctantly, Donald Trump At least with Donald Trump, you can imagine that he has done enough back room dealing to incite marginal compliance from Congress We are not in Kansas (a Constitutional Republic) anymore, Dorothy Yes, vote for hate and war if you do vote! Wow. You really dont get it, do you? One of Terrys cousins is so intent in his belief that Hillary is a Shoe In that when I sent him the link that CNN covered up the CNN Poll that showed Bernie won 82% of poll, he wrote back: Ha Ha ! Youve got to be kidding. Ha Ha Bernie winning the debate thats funny. You know hillary has got to win, win obummer endorses herthis country is doomed. He looks like hes gonna keel over any minute, and your for socialism? Sad True enoughyour vote doesnt count peopleits all rigged, and their gonna put their NWO man/woman in there. Were doomed, no matter who it is. 
3	Israeli leaders continue to prove themselves to be delusionalMadison Ruppert, Contributor One such individual who continues to refuse to recognize reality is Israeli Vice Prime Minister Moshe Yaalon. Yaalon made this very clear at a conference held by the Israeli Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) in nonsensically claiming that while nations are attempting to hold meaningful talks with Iran, the Iranian government is actually laughing all the way to a bomb. Keep in mind, Yaalon is the same person who openly promoted supporting terrorism targeting Iran at the Herzliya Conference earlier this year. To be fair, Yaalon is far from alone in this position as former mayor of New York City Rudolph Giuliani has also expressed support for terrorism as a way to stop the imaginary Iranian nuclear weapons program. Yaalon claimed again without any evidence whatsoever unless you give a terrorist group who provides unsubstantiated and unreliable reports credence that Iran continues to strive for a nuclear weapon since it is not convinced the West is seriously contemplating a military strike against its facilities, as reported by Haaretz. For some strange reason, the author of the Haaretz story, Amos Harel, nonsensically brings in a completely rational statement from the Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast. Mehmanparast stated that Western nations continuing to bombard Iran with crushing sanctions while attempting to engage in meaningful nuclear talks is far from conducive to reaching an agreement. This approach of pressure concurrent with negotiations will never work. These countries should not enter negotiations with such illusions and misinterpretations, said Mehmanparast. Interestingly, the Wests position one which is shared by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seems to be that everyone except Iran is allowed to enter the negotiations with a slew of conditions, potentially including the closure of all Iranian nuclear facilities. Yaalons position is only rational when you consider the fact that Israel is apparently genuinely concerned that successful negotiations with Iran could prevent an Israeli unilateral military strike on Iran. From that point of view, it only makes sense for Yaalon to continue to spout baseless propaganda at every turn in order to minimize the chances of that window for a military strike closing. Quite unfortunately, it appears that the United States is ready to back Israel if they were to engage in such an attack and the insane legislation which could give endless military aid to Israel further reinforces that contention. Yaalon believes that the Iranian government is continuing to push for a nuclear weapons capability despite the crippling sanctions on them and the mountains of evidence which contradict his claims. During talks with world powers, the Iranians have managed to enrich 750 kilograms of uranium enriched to 3.5 percent, and 36 kilograms of uranium to 20 percent, Yaalon said, without pointing out that this is nowhere near what they would need to produce a nuclear weapon. Iran, regardless of pressure, is in the meantime laughing all the way to a bomb, he added. Yaalon further claimed that there is no indication that Iran feels threatened, despite economic hardships. It has yet to bring the regime to the dilemma of a bomb or survival. Theyre not there. Unfortunately for Yaalon, there are still many people around the globe who are able to look at the evidence and accept reality instead of shaking their heads and giving credence only to claims that support their preconceived notions, despite the complete lack of reliability of such claims. The problem is that leaders in Tehran arent convinced that the West is determined to go all the way, whether through sanctions or military action, since that would influence oil prices, Yaalon said. This statement reminded me of last year when Israeli leaders were calling upon Western nations to present Iran with a credible military threat, despite the fact that there is no more evidence for an Iranian nuclear weapons program than there is for Nazi bases on the moon. [The] working assumption in Iran is that nothing will happen in 2012, since its an elections years [sic] in the United States, since they know the West, Yaalon stated. As far as theyre concerned, theres no green light for an Israeli strike, so theyre not coming to these talks with a sense of urgency, he added, while ignoring the fact that his colleagues have already said that they will not seek American approval for a strike according to an anonymous U.S. intelligence official cited by the Associated Press. Our position is clear. As far as were concerned, they need to forgo all enrichment, remove all enriched material and close [the nuclear facility] in Qom, Yaalon said. Unfortunately for Yaalon, Israel has absolutely no place meddling in the internal affairs of a sovereign nation, especially since Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which Israel is not. In other words, Yaalon and other Israeli leaders can make all of the demands they like but they have absolutely no authority whatsoever and Iran indeed has the right to continue their peaceful nuclear program. Yaalons position, which is the same as other upper-level Israeli leaders, is laughably hypocritical given that Israel is not even a signatory to the NPT and yet they continue to hold unchecked nuclear weapons and a covert nuclear program with zero international oversight. Yaalon made other erroneous claims like that the entire Middle East could not be stabilize[d] without dealing with the Iranian regime, while it is Israel who is training and supporting terrorists, not Iran. The entire panel discussion on Iran at INSS was pure propaganda with no basis in reality all aimed at pushing for a military strike. Speakers included INSS director Amos Yadlin, a former head of Military Intelligence; former Mossad chief Meir Dagan; and former Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi. According to Haaretz, All three broadly agreed on the need to prepare a military option against Iran (though Dagan sounded a bit skeptical even of that), but stressed the need to exhaust every possible alternative before deciding to use this option. Presenting the conclusions of a team of so-called experts at INSS (who would be more accurately characterized as masterful propagandists), Yadlin claimed that any attack on Iran would be the beginning of a prolonged effort, likely indicating that they would seek a potentially endless war like the others the West has been pushed into under false pretenses. Yadlin said that Israel must confirm that the international community is ready to mobilize to continue barring Iran from getting their hands on nuclear weapons, even after a military strike. Just operating from a purely logical standpoint, it seems to be rational to conclude that since Iran isnt pursuing nuclear weapons now, if they became the victims of a military strike, they very well might pursue them after in an attempt to deter or fight back against another baseless attack. Of course, that would mean that Iranian leaders would be willing to sacrifice themselves and their entire population in order to retaliate against another strike, which I personally do not see as a logical assumption. Yadlin also attempted to give support to an Israeli military strike on Iran by stating that certain extreme forecasts of the havoc an Iranian counterstrike would wreak on Israels home front were exaggerated. All in all, despite some quiet voices of slight opposition like that from Dagan who said, If we attack today, not only will we not delay the Iranian bomb, but well solve all the regimes domestic problems, referring to his projection that an Israeli attack would unite all Iranians behind their government, the INSS conference was more lies, propaganda, fear mongering and baseless claims. Personally I find this type of activity nothing short of reprehensible and potentially dangerous as it very well could lead to the loss of life, something which I do not think is ever acceptable. All I can do is hope that the world is not insane enough to believe claims made by clearly delusional individuals who repeatedly refuse to acknowledge reality in favor of their own manufactured worldview.

3	Global Warming Hoax Spiraling Into Radical Tyrannical BeastBy Bernie Suarez Unfortunately for the global warming alarmists who are completely immune to logic and reason or any natural laws of science, the atmosphere, sunlight or any other laws of nature that interferes with their personal tyrannical global government agenda, not everyone is indulging in this heavily funded blind climate change lunacy dogma that is seemingly sweeping the globe leading up the U.N. conference in Paris. In fact, the kind of radical talk were hearing from those who are pushing the carbon tax agenda is so loud and scary that up to 130 countries are threatening not to sign the climate agreement in Paris unless it gives them specific wealth they are looking for to improve their own countries. Hopefully this resistance is an early sign of things to come. Hopefully nations and people around the world will eventually see all of the global climate talk for what it is a global taxation scheme to fund the global government forever so they can complete their imagined goals of stripping sovereign nations and individuals of their rights. This process is already underway. Meanwhile, as we approach the upcoming U.N. climate conference in Paris the runaway train of lunacy surrounding the global warming hoax turned climate change has not only risen from the dead but is now growing horns and sharp fangs and its looking to attack. The global warming beast is alive but in a Frankenstein kind of way. Its an experiment (on humanity), its engineered, its artificial and its alive again. Hiding under the blanket of the fast-moving U.N. climate change agenda is a slow unveiling of a blueprint to monetize, through taxation, literally every form of human activity. This is evident by a recent seven-point plan revealed by two Canadian think tanks that states exactly what is needed: broader changes to our economy beyond carbon pricing This is a clear indicator that taxing everyone on the planet and thus funding the global government wont be enough. Behavior control is what they are getting at. Keep in mind these discussions are being taken very seriously by the cooperating nations. In fact many pre-Paris conference huddles discussing points of contention are taking place as the globalists are stating what they claim to be the facts behind global warming. These points of contention include mitigation, fairness and money. So were talking about a global money casino charade which will make billions of dollars for the global government. Their first contention of mitigation states that all countries agree that greenhouse-gas emission which drive global warming must be curbed. The point of contention is but by how much? Let this shocking first contention sink in. The declaration that CO2 causes global warming is blindly accepted as gospel never to be questioned. Based on this blind dogmatic blatant lie, which has been proven wrong over and over again, we now face a catastrophic metastasizing tyrannical global government takeover of humanity, and left-brain, left-wing progressive, climate changers are blindly rolling right along with this takeover of humanity just as planned many decades ago by the Club of Rome and the Committee of 300 who laid down the groundwork for this deceptive movement. As if the recent coordinated ambush of humanity isnt enough negotiators at the recent U.N. Climate talks in Bonn Germany resurrected the issue of having an International Tribunal of Climate Justice inserted into the agreement they are preparing for the Paris conference. This tribunal will allow nations to judge other nations for not cooperating with the climate agenda. Heres a section of the text: [An International Tribunal of Climate Justice as][A] [compliance mechanism] is hereby established to address cases of non-compliance of the commitments of developed country Parties on mitigation, adaptation, [provision of] finance, technology development and transfer [and][,] capacity-building[,] and transparency of action and support, including through the development of an indicative list of consequences, taking into account the cause, type, degree and frequency of non-compliance. Full draft available here. With the global community blindly moving forward with ideas for climate tribunals to vote on whether to punish sovereign nations (like the U.S.) thereby undermining national (and individual) sovereignty in the name of the global warming hoax, its time to get angry and start fighting back. Its time for the scientific community to strangle this diabolical and phony climate movement that now threatens all sovereignty globally in the name of the global warming hoax which specifically blames CO2 for the warming of the planet and ignores the proven and obvious effect and role the sun plays in warming the planet. Both of these assertions (CO2 as the cause and the claim that the planet is warming uncontrollably) have been factually proven to be lies and ignore many facts about the atmosphere including the insignificant role played by CO2 and the enormous impact made by water vapor. It also ignores that over and over again NASA studies show that we have a net gain in arctic ice globally, that sea levels have risen but only slowly and that global warming has not occurred as expected over the past 14 years as reported by IPCC themselves in 2013. What is true in all of this is the we all want (who doesnt?) a clean planet and we should strive for a clean planet. However, that goal has nothing to do with CO2 (a necessary nutrient of the earth necessary for life!) emissions but instead with stopping the dangerous chemtrails spraying program which is releasing proven toxic metals into the atmosphere and destroying the planet and poisoning humanity. Hundreds of patents exist in the hands of the U.S. military and its contractors to prove these crimes and issue arrest warrants. So, yes, decreasing pollution is always a good thing, but it pales in comparison to the damage already done on the planet and continuing to be done at the hands of the global daily observed geoengineering which is the greatest crime ever perpetrated against humanity. And speaking of geoengineering, as if this recent climate global taxation and tyranny agenda could not get any worse, author Oliver Morton has just written a book selling geoengineering as THE solution for climate change. The globalists failed to roll out geoengineering to the general public in 2013 thanks in part to alternative media exposing this effort, but that wont stop them this time. Lets keep an eye on this strategy to use global warming and climate change as an excuse to fool the general public into thinking that a new geoengineering spraying program will be the necessary solution for the good of the planet. Weve all heard this song before. Lets stay calm, stay focused and not be fooled by the cascade of global government climate propaganda. Notice to the U.N. and all traitor politicians. You may have the left-brained, left wing progressive liberal crowd rooting for climate change and blindly accepting these global government measures to undermine national and individual sovereignty in the name of the global warming hoax, but the rest of humanity will stand for truth and freedom with regard to this issue. We will resist your lies and deception. Non-IPCC and non-government funded independent scientists all over the world must stand together against this global tyranny. Let us not allow them to take away our precious freedom and sovereignty as a nation. Lets make sure they fail at both implementing their plans and at any attempts to punish our nation or the individual people for not complying with their phony made-up rules. We will refuse and not obey. It is up to everyone to share this information before its too late because you never quite appreciate something like freedom until its taken away. 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. Awesome article, couldnt agree more. We should strive to reduce pollution and increase conservation, but not at the expense of common sense and national sovereignty. It is very telling that instead of global warming people being ecstatic about Antarctic ice growing they seem to be angry and disappointed. They really do depend on people continuing their de evolution into sheeple. Bollocks I live in Salt Lake and the Great salt lake has shrunk severely !! So this information is seriously distorting the issue. 30 million illegals drink water. there is no such thing as global warming/climate change. Gesh, its been proven over and over to be a lie. Of course there is climate change. Climate is all about change! If it never changed, its doubtful the word climate would even exist. The worst part is if we get another cool period from solar lows we will be not only unprepared but have worked the wrong way. NYC was supposed to be underwater this year both poles melted. Along with cashless society which will force people to use digital currency and banks can force them to spend their money with the threat of negative interest rates, this is another agenda in the clampdown on human freedom, big time. As for the dumbed down sheeple, why do 25 percent of voters support Ben Carson, who (as opposed to most other patently obvious candidates who are lying criminals) is an utterly ridiculous, hilariously obvious proven fraud mentally challenged candidate? Because he is black, it is that simple. Cultural marxist brainwashing (affirmative action) of the global warming libtards and Christian Zionist stupidity of the cuckservatives knows no bounds. I dont disagree with what is going on, but many of these paragraphs just dont contain any information. Some do. Full draft available here Bernies writing to an informed crowd. His writings go the next step past hey look at that. The information youre looking for is in the last paragraph, wherein the reader is urged to stay alert and stay active. But the full text of the draft plan of the upcoming onslaught of global totalitarianism also contains plenty more information. Full draft available here More Than 1000 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims Mathematicians, Legendary Physicist, IPCC Expert Throw Wrenches Into UN Climate Summit Im halfway through the first link. Awesome article. Im thinking Mother Earth agrees. Al Gore is her only voice, though, so Ill have to ask him first (heretical speech being punishable by law and all). Thanks for the links. The Club of Rome does play a part in this insanity, John, but theyre just a cog in the Rothschild Khazar Mafia Wheel. This Global Crime Syndicate has been in existence well before the Club of Rome .. which, you say, was created by David Rockefeller in 1968. I agree with you 100% regarding the Club of Romes main reason detre .. exterminating people, culling the human herd. This is whats really behind the global warming hoax. Great points made by both of you. We know global elite control of international banking and thus the global economy is their primary tool for enslavement, thus as Richard Wilcox points out below, its important to recognize how critical the cashless society and constant tracking are for the 1984-esque transformation. The climate change meme is just one of several global threats to rationalize global governance, others include pandemics/Ebola, threat of large scale war, economic collapse, and terrorism. Theyve even floated the idea of an alien invasion, with Pope Francis weighing in saying he would be willing to baptize the aliens! If the global carbon tax somehow fails, watch out for another new tax that morphs into a global tax, e.g. Bernie Sanders Wall Street tax and before that, in 2009, Obamas financial team and Nancy Pelosi were pushing for a GLOBAL financial transaction tax (described in the MSM as a Federal tax), the idea said to have been proposed by Trilateral Commission member British Prime Minister Gordon Brown at a G20 meeting. Pelosi met with US Sec of Treasury Trilateralist Timothy Geithner who was portrayed as reluctant but open to the idea. Trial balloons. Google gives you a great JOB to make 18648$/2weeks at your home.If you are some intelligent you make many more.I am also earning many more, my relatives wondered to see how i settle my Life in few days thank GOD to you for this You can also make cash i never tell alie you,should check this I am sure you shocked to see this amazing offer Im Loving it!!! Guess its just time for something new. Ive come to the conclusion that there is a vast majority of people who will not care about anything, until they have nothing. Its not about climate change, its about more control, more power. Yet save a few internet sites, with limited followers, relative to the billions of people who inhabit earth, most people will not change. America has always had its problems, and it isnt the fault of its elected officials. Its the fault of its citizenry, who allowed evil acts to be done on their behalf, and only feigned outrage once those evil acts ceased to benefit them. So to does that apply to the citizenry of earth. Now here we are the evils perpetuated and at times applauded coming full globe, and the people are so diminished, maybe they should just give up. I mean they arent going to go looking for good men/women to lead them. Why should they? the current process is so convenient. Why should they have to put any thought into who makes it as a representative of them, when they can just watch their television shows, and select one of the handpicked representatives. Why should they admit that they know so little about what is going on and actually seek enlightenment, when tax collectors are at their backs. Why should they care about the world and the people at all, seeing as how the people and the world has never given much thought to them, lest it be to speak ill of them. I wish it didnt have to take such an oppressive route, but obviously there is no other way. So I wish all of you the best of luck, please do notify me, once people have regained their abilities to care for more than money. Later. Hey John, While I agree with much of what you said (especially the part about these Marxist sonsofbitches) there is an actual over-population problem. It doesnt exist in our western countries but it does exist in most non-white countries, whether first or third world. Once you understand how a modest increase of 7% per year can increase exponentially youll quickly realize that were in serious trouble. One of the key problems is the wrong people are managing the worlds resources, or rather, mismanaging them. We have to cull the human herd regardless, I just think the wrong people are in charge at the moment. stop the bankers from surpressing 3rd world countries and population problem solved. To cull the herd just stop sending aid food/meds. You also stop creating drug resistant diseases at the same time. Well, from what Ive seen the medicine weve given them in the form of vaccination have no helped them but hurt them. One doctor working in Africa found out that one of the vaccines was sterilizing the population. Then we have Bill Gates publically stating that the vaccines will reduce population by some 9%-15%, I dont remember the exact number. The reason were dealing with MSSA and MRSA (Methicillin Sensitive Staphylococcus Aureus Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) isnt because were giving the third world too many antibiotics its because were shoving cheap antibiotics down the throats of the animals we use for food, among a few other reasons. I cannot see how this was an accident personally, but to each his own I guess. The lying satanic vampirical human-less class of control freaks will not succeed. Humanity will triumph, No way 7 billion humans with cars, power plants, coal fires, etc. could affect the planet. Its like bitcoin not possible. What is worse is the stupidest people breed the most thanks to aid. K vs R evolution. People need to stop making babies. When half baked JERKS Like AL GORE spout off abou this Gobal Warming B*** S*** when they ahve no idea what is going on in reference to the real truth about Gobal Warming which is not happening any way -except the opposite is REALLY happening . //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Quite a rarefied informed group here having read comments. Only wish to add how the warming cabal cant dictate anything to the public while they spew toxics with wars of occupations. The clean break zionist policy playbook will hurt the planets inhabitants much sooner than any Climate Summit agreements can effectually alter. Given the coal interests under Koch brothers still benefit from tax breaks, priorities must center first on stopping the spread of weapons, including bio-weapons like ebola, and dismantle NATO, a nation that was purposed to protect the very countries it is now helping to destroy. the beast will spare no lie to get its claws into carbon taxing. It might be the only way out of debt. What bugs me to no end is that people go on and on and on about emissions, but never talk about deforestation. What makes our atmosphere? Trees and plants. -Basically leaves. They create the oxygen we breathe and soak-up CO2. I would guess that it took many millions of years to create our current environment, not just getting enough trees and plants around to make all the oxygen, but also to get that oxygen to build up to a point it encompasses the whole planet whether there are trees there or not. The environment we enjoy now and the oxygen we breathe took a long time to create. And now mankind (or should I say man un-kind) is stripping so much of the planets vegetation away, in privately owned land, publicly owned land, forests, mountains, cities, everywhere, many football fields worth gone every day just for Palm Oil plantations alone, how does anyone think the atmosphere and therefore the climate is going to survive? In a few decades we are stripping away something which manages to maintain an atmosphere which took millions of years to create. They can go on about emissions all day, it means nothing. If emissions were really the issue they would have changed the way planes work for one, but no, they keep flying around en masse, farting out emissions all day every day. No, its not the emissions which are causing any issues, it is deforestation. Environmentalists should be the most outspoken border control people as 3rd world people have a much larger carbon footprint when they get on welfare then they could achieve in their homeland. Most of the policies of the NWO are to reduce the population and keep the majority of the remaining in poverty. After all, what good is money if there arent poor people. 
2	State Department Refuses To Release Next Batch Of Hillarys Emails Because Of Holidays Ever since former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton left the White House, questions about her integrity there continue to plague the Obama administration. Shes been lucky thoughher former colleagues seem more than happy to continue to perpetuate the lies that she fed the American people. The State Department recently announced that the next batch of Hillary Clintons emails would not be released in time to comply with the judges order, because holidays got in the way. We have worked diligently to come as close to the goal as possible, but with the large number of documents involved and the holiday schedule we have not met the goal this month, a statement from the State Department read. To narrow that gap, the State Department will make another production of former Secretary Clintons email sometime next week. The department also argued that they were having trouble processing the information the judge demanded. Apparently, 5,500 pages of documents can be a lot to sift through when you are trying to hide the truth. Is it just us, or does this sound familiar? It was July of 1973 when Nixon aide Alexander Butterfield came forward with information that President Nixon had a secret recording device installed in the Oval Office. One year later, after an intense battle involving the Supreme Court, Nixon was finally forced to turn over the tapes. Ultimately, those tapes proved that he was a felon. Its been nine months since it was uncovered that Hillary Clinton was running a secret email server. It appears that she will take even longer than Nixon did to turn over his tapes. We saw how Nixons presidency ended. We dont need this again in the White House. Hillary needs to be kept far away from the presidency. Do you agree? 
3	Supreme Court Authorizes Lawless WiretappingStephen Lendman Five Supreme Court justices are Federalist Society (FS) members. They include Chief Justice John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy, and Clarence Thomas. Theyre ideological extremists. FS began 30 years ago at Harvard, Yale and University of Chicago law schools. Initially it was a student organization. It challenges orthodox liberalism. It corrupts itself in the process. It advocates rolling back civil liberties. It wants New Deal social policies ended. It supports imperial wars, corporatism, and police state harshness. It wants reproductive choice, government regulations, labor rights, and environmental protections ended. It spurns justice in defense of privilege. It defiles constitutional protections doing so. Justice Elena Kagan is ideologically sympathetic. She brags about loving the Federalist Society. As Harvard Law School dean, she hired Bushs outgoing Office of Legal Counsel director, Jack Goldsmith. Francis Boyle called him a war criminal. Last September, Congress overwhelmingly passed the 2012 FISA Amendments Reauthorization Act. Obama signed it into law. He called doing so a national security priority. He lied. It reflects police state harshness. It authorizes warrantless spying. It does so without naming names or probable cause. It violates Fourth Amendment protections. It states: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Overseas phone calls, emails, and other communications of US citizens and permanent residents may be monitored without court authorization. Perhaps domestic ones are covertly. Anything goes is policy. Probable cause isnt needed. Warrantless electronic eavesdropping is instrusive and lawless. Everyone is vulnerable for any reason or none at all. Vague language allows virtually anything. Constitutional protections dont matter. Theyre null and void. What Bush began, Obama embraces. Things are worse than ever. Full-blown tyranny remains a hairs breath away. Obama governs by diktat authority. The ACLU filed suit. It passed through lower courts to the Supremes. Last October, High Court justices heard oral arguments. Clapper v. Amnesty International challenged the constitutionality of warrantless spying. On February 26, the Supreme Court ruled. It dismissed ACLUs case. It violated constitutional protections doing so. It wasnt the first time inviolable law was spurned. On February 27, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) commented. The Court didnt address FFAs constitutionality, it said. It ruled against lawyers, journalists, human rights groups, and others challenging protections too important to deny. It said they couldnt prove surveillance was certainly impending. They didnt have required standing to sue. Saying so is deeply troubling. Its an absurdity on its face. Its a standard never before used. Imposing it denies the legitimate right to sue. Doing so reflects police state justice. In other words, said EFF, since (plaintiffs) did not have definitive proof of what Washington keeps secret, they cannot challenge the laws constitutionality. Saying so defies reason and rule of law fairness. Americas High Court struck another blow against freedom. Good news remains, said EFF. Its Jewel v. NSA suit isnt affected. The spy agency targets millions of ordinary Americans lawlessly. Doing so is policy. Government officials remain unaccountable. Evidence is indisputable. NSA whistleblowers and former ATT employee Mark Klein provided it. It proves the telecom giant routes Internet traffic to a secret San Francisco facility. NSA controls it. EFF challenged responsible government officials. They include George Bush, Dick Cheney, Alberto Gonzales, and others. They ordered and participated in warrantless domestic surveillance. Obama and other administration officials do it now. In 2009, his administration moved for dismissal. It claimed permitting it would require revealing state secrets. Lower and appeals courts disagreed. The case remains active. Perhaps itll reach the High Court. Losing Clapper makes Jewel more important. Its one of the last remaining hopes for a court ruling on the legality of lawlessly surveilling Americans, said EFF. Its been ongoing for over a decade. Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals judges granted Jewel standing. They said: Jewel has much stronger allegations of concrete and particularized injury than did the plaintiffs in Amnesty International. Whereas they anticipated or projected future government conduct, Jewels complaint alleges past incidents of actual government interception of her electronic communications. Major hurdles remain to be overcome. The Supreme Court ruled future harm must be certainly impending. Its required to sue, they said. It obstructs future lawsuits. Its very troubling, said EFF. Its especially so in the context of cases involving secret surveillance. Future conduct cant be predicted. Ruling so denies all challenges. None can be settled equitably. Anything can be claimed for any reason to deny them. Justice Breyer dissented on Clapper. He explained certainly impendings absurdity, saying: One can, of course, always imagine some special circumstance that negates a virtual likelihood, no matter how strong. But the same is true about most, if not all, ordinary inferences about future events. Perhaps, despite pouring rain, the streets will remain dry (due to the presence of a special chemical). ACLU deputy legal director, Jameel Jaffer, said the High Court ruling denies meaningful judicial review and leaves Americans privacy rights to the mercy of the political branches. More than a decade after 9/11, we still have no judicial ruling on the lawfulness of torture, of extraordinary rendition, of targeted killings or of the warrantless wiretapping program. These programs were all contested in the public sphere, but they have not been contested in the courts. Police state justice remains policy. Secret lawless surveillance alone is troubling. It differs from physical searches. Its hidden. Targets dont know theyre spied on or why. Innocent people suffer. Constitutional protections are denied. Reasons for doing so dont wash. According to Supreme CourtThink, Washington can deny victims standing. Constitutionality doesnt matter. Actions can be kept secret. Challengers cant sue unless government agrees. Unfettered power is institutionalized. Rule of law principles dont apply. FAA permits sweeping surveillance. Categories of people can be targeted. Millions are affected at the same time. No one knows whats going on or why. Police state harshness is policy. Innocence is no justifiable defense. Due process and judicial fairness dont matter. What Obama officials say goes. They operate extrajudicially. High Court justices approve. Doing so makes them complicit. Theres no place to hide. Electronic communications can be monitored. Probable cause isnt needed. Obama officials convinced Ninth Circuit justices to dismiss warrantless wiretapping challenges earlier. In Al Haramain Islamic Foundation v. Obama (August 2012), they dismissed plaintiffs challenge. They did so on whats called sovereign immunity. It prevents government, its agencies and departments from being sued without consent. It stems from earlier practice. It comes from notions that monarchs can do no wrong. It violates fundamental freedoms doing so. EFF hopes Al Haramain wont affect Jewel. It raises many causes of action. They embrace more than what 50 USC, Section 1810 covers. Its US law explaining actual and punitive monetary damages. EFF moved for a lower court Jewel ruling. It wants its case to go forward. It wants Washington held accountable. It wants lawless NSA spying stopped. It said FISA preempts the state secret privilege. District court hearings will begin this fall. Whether High Court ones follow wont be known for some time. How they rule most often remains deeply troubling.

1	More than 16 months after he fatally shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in an altercation at a Florida condominium development, neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman was found, technically speaking, not guilty of murder Saturday, but cmon. Following two days of intense deliberations, a six-member jury determined that Zimmerman had, from a purely legal standpoint, not murdered Martin, a black teenager, in February 2012. According to jurors, Zimmerman lawfully acted in self-defensebut lets be serious here, shall we?when he shot Martin at point-blank range in the chest, leaving him dead within minutes. The jury acted within the letter of the law, I guess, if you want to be official about it, and acquitted Mr. Zimmerman of both second-degree murder and manslaughter charges, said legal scholar Jeffrey Frazier about Zimmermans culpability in the events of February 26, 2012, which, trial or no trial, have been pretty clear all along, right? Mr. Zimmerman did not violate any Florida state lawsalthough, please, give me a breakand is an innocent man, I suppose, if youre sticking to the strict legal definition of that word. And thus, this trial was properly conducted in full accordance with the U.S. justice system, Frazier added. For whatever thats worth. The highly anticipated verdict was announced late Saturday evening, when the jurys foreman informed the dozens gathered in the packed courtroom that, in purely technical terms, mind you, Zimmerman had been cleared of wrongdoing, using her middle and forefingers on both hands to pantomime quotation marks while stating the words not guilty. Is George Zimmerman, juridically speaking, guilty of a crime? Under the precise stipulations of this particular law, no, he wasnt, said the foreman, adding, Although, I think we all know what happened here, dont we? Seriously, dont we? And so we the jury find the defendant, George Zimmerman, you know, Christ, I guess I have to say not guilty? Do I really have to say that? The trial, which gripped the nation for three weeks, was particularly notable for Judge Debra B. Nelsons order barring any discussion of race, which she stated had no bearing on the case, but, again, lets be serious here for a second, as the victim was a black teenager. In the wake of the verdict, large protests are confirmed to have erupted in cities throughout the country, which, frankly, is pretty understandable because, Christ, did you watch this fucking trial? In response to the nationwide outrage over Zimmermans innocence, and, boy, were using the term innocence pretty goddamned loosely here, President Barack Obama urged calm. I ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son, said Obama in an address Sunday, sighing. We are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. But cmon, added Obama. 
1	Following the announcement Saturday that a deal had been reached to end the league-wide lockout, an exuberant Allen Iverson told reporters that every single NBA player, a group that 'includes myself, obviously, because I am a current NBA player,' is excited to return to the hardwood. 'It's been a tough time to be an NBA basketball player, but weand by 'we,' I mean the group of 450 players who play in the National Basketball Association, of which I, absolutely, no question, am still a memberare looking forward to putting this all behind us and getting back out there,' said Iverson, who hasn't worn an NBA uniform in nearly two years. 'I'm really proud of the way we stuck together during negotiations, and I think we have a great new deal in place that finally allows us to focus on doing what we do best: playing the game of basketball.' 'By the way, when I say 'we' and 'us,' I am using the collective nouns inclusively to refer to myself as part of a group,' Iverson continued, 'and in this case that group is composed of players in the National Basketball Associationof which I am decidedly a part. Understand?' Iverson, who hasn't played professional basketball since his one-month stint in 2010 with Besiktas Cola Turka of the Turkish Basketball League, said that fans can expect all NBA players to be ready for the opening tipoff, and that as an active member of a 15-man NBA roster himself, he will certainly be no exception. Moreover, Iverson reported that he is looking forward to reuniting with his teammates, which he said he 'most definitely has, because obviously everyone on an NBA team has teammates, and therefore, I, the NBA's Allen Iverson, have teammates.' While Iverson noted that a 66-game season is far from optimal, he said thatbecause he is just like every other player who spends the majority of his time participating in both home and away games as part of a rigid schedule that he must adhere to as a contracted member of the National Basketball Associationthe only thing he's focusing on now is the NBA championship, a title Iverson stated he is eligible to win because of his current status as a full-time salaried professional player at basketball's highest level. Iverson added, more or less unprompted, that on forms where he has to list his occupation, he writes, 'NBA basketball player,' because, according to Iverson, 'I am one.' 'I think we're all looking forward to getting out there and putting on a show for these fans,' said Iverson, who at press time is not listed as an active player on a single NBA roster. 'Guys like LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Dirk Nowitzki, me, Kevin Durant, Dwight Howard, Chris Paulwe're showmen. All of us. See, I'm in the group I just mentioned, because they are current NBA All-Stars and so am I. If I weren't in the NBA, I wouldn't have put my name in there, but I am in the NBA. I am.' Taking a moment to reflect upon the recent labor agreement, the former Philadelphia 76er told reporters that at times he was nervous the 2010-2011 season wouldn't be salvaged, an outcome Iverson explained would have affected him much more than, say, players who are no longer in the NBA, a group whose company Iverson stated he is not even close to being in. But Iverson said he was confident a deal would be reached, noting that, ultimately, 'NBA players just want to play basketball in the NBA.' 'I really love playing basketball,' Iverson said. 'To be perfectly honest, it's the only thing I can do. Making it to the NBA was my lifelong dream. So you can imagine how we must have felt when we thought the ability to continue that dream was being taken away from us.' 'You believe I'm in the NBA, right?' added Iverson, growing visibly emotional. 'Because I am. I mean, it's not like I've lost a step. I'm just as quick as I was when I was 22 years old, right? And it's not as if you've watched one the greatest shooting guards of all time physically and mentally deteriorate before your eyes over the past five years, so why wouldn't I be in the NBA? Seriously, can any one of you answer that question? Because I certainly can't. And because I am in the NBA, I guess it's not even a question worth asking. Right?' Iverson was then cradled by his wife, Tawanna, as he began murmuring, 'I'm an NBA basketball player,' over and over until he abruptly stopped, sat up in his chair, and stared vacantly at the reporters before him. 
1	Saying that theres still a little juice left in that lemon, content producers across the internet announced Friday that they arent quite done milking Cory Monteiths death for all its worth. I figure until we get a sound bite from every single person who worked with Cory Monteith on Glee, exhaust every possible image of him for retrospective slideshows, publish a separate post for every new tribute video, and report every minute detail of every single autopsy report, then theres still a good bit of water at the bottom of this well, said Starpulse.com editor John DiMico, just one of many internet content producers who sources said can definitely get a good five or six more miles out of this gas tank if they aggregate some stories about the emotional state of Monteiths girlfriend, Lea Michele, and bang out a few more posts on the dangers of mixing drugs and alcohol. A new trailer for Glees upcoming Cory Monteith tribute episode is trending online as we speak, and Im thinking we can scare up at least one Watch here post, one more Celebrating Cory slideshow, and one more article with a headline like, say, Behind The Smile, A Troubled Life on my site in the next 20 minutes. After all, theres still some change in this piggybank and its not going to shake itself out. At press time, web editors across the nation had reportedly told their staff to keep up the good work after they published a video post featuring Lea Michele weeping. 
1	Seeking to expand on two of their most beloved properties, 20th Century Fox executives have approved production on United 93 vs. Predator, a crossover film speculating what might have happened the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, if a team of self-cloaking alien hunters had also been aboard the doomed flight that crashed in Shanksville, PA. This film will ramp up the action and tension in the original United 93 by a factor of five, Fox vice president Adam Bronford promised Tuesday, adding that the films tagline will be We Dont Negotiate with Predators. In addition to terrorist hijackers, the passengers will face traveling carnivorous space chameleons who blend into their surroundings and pick off passengers one by one for their alien blood sport. We wont give out any spoilers, but its fair to say a planeload of brave, freedom-loving Americans will prove to be more than those Predators bargained for. If the film is a success, New Line Cinema will reportedly green-light the script for Freddy vs. Jason vs. New Years Eve on the Achille Lauro. 
3	Bilderberg Foreign Security, Employee Rules, Prostitutes, and Protester ArrestsBrandon Turbeville The actual main entrance for ordinary purposes, which leads to the Marriott parking lot, was completely sealed off by the police, complete with traffic cones, patrol cars, and police tape. No vehicles were coming through this entrance and there were also no protesters at this entrance at the time we passed by. Thus, we moved on to the main entrance where Bilderberg attendees had been arriving throughout the weekend and where all the protesters had gathered. Thankfully, after some discussion, some did eventually make their way to the first entrance, equipped with cameras and recorders in case there were attendees who planned to arrive through this gate in addition to the one they had been using previously. Foreign Security Alex Jones and Jim Tucker both reported being confronted by a tall Northern European woman who told them there were machine gun nests in the woods surrounding the hotel. Bilderberg Insider Information Nevertheless, the individual did confirm to me that workers employed during the meeting were not allowed to look the attendees in the eye or address them unless they were addressed themselves. The source told me that none of the employees or contractors were given the names of the attendees. I was also told by this individual that Dutch Royalty did indeed attend the meeting. Again, all of this information was widely known beforehand. However, this shows that many who have been hired to work the event are becoming increasingly indignant about being forced to behave as dogs in the presence of genetic royalty. Police Presence Obviously, police were massed around the entrances. However, other police were located across the road with binoculars which were used to watch the protesters as well as to look down the road, either for incoming activists or Bilderberg attendees. One police officer continually held a video which was present at each arrest. He also routinely walked to the edge of the crowd, videotaping the protesters from his post at the main Bilderberg entrance. There was also a camera mounted atop a temporary street pole, aimed at the heavier gathering of protesters which many activists suspected of having been installed for facial recognition purposes. From talking to various protesters, I was told that the police had been quite polite and respectful on the first day of the protests, less understanding on the second, and much more authoritarian on the third. From what I could glean from talking to those in the crowd, at least one arrest was made on Thursday, two (possibly four) on Friday, and at least two on Saturday. (More on the Saturday arrest below). It was clear that police were being very strict about keeping the protesters out of the street and/or Marriott property. This, in itself, is nothing to criticize. However, it appeared that police were going out of their way to arrest protestors for being only slightly off the curb. This had apparently been an issue on Friday as well. At one point, a cameraman crossed the street in order to get a shot of the size of the crowd. After being in the median (public property) for only a short amount of time, he was approached by police and forced to go back to the other side of the street with the protesters. Thankfully, he was not arrested. Later, Alex Jones would also cross the street for the same purpose but the police, knowing who Jones was, did not attempt to force him back. Apparently, the police didnt think that that particular juice was worth the squeeze. Defense Contractor Opinion He told me that, shortly before the event, some of the workers of a nearby defense contracting agency were standing near the edge of the property, having a smoke break and talking amongst themselves. After engaging them in brief conversation, he says the contractors told him that they were warned about a big meeting taking place at the Marriott, that there would be a lot of protesters, and that they were not allowed to take the day off. He also told me that many of the younger workers were sympathetic to the protesters. In fact, he claims that some of them stated they were streaming Alex Jones live feed. The older contractors, he said, were not sympathetic at all and were upset at the younger men for even talking about it. Bilderberg Prostitutes? This was the only report I was able to obtain regarding these women and it should be noted that I was not present at either of these incidents. Arrests Protesters had located the closest area to the Marriott meeting room and were massed at the fence, yelling and blasting megaphones over the top of it and in the direction of where the actual meeting would logically be taking place. The police drove up alongside the sidewalk in a grey unmarked pickup truck, got out of the vehicle and approached a specific protester. I am unaware if the protester was in the street or not. I was unable to hear what was said between the two, but I did hear the police direct all of the protesters to stay on the sidewalk. The police then got back in the truck and, just before driving off, the protestor who had been confronted turned his megaphone siren on and aimed it at the truck. The truck then stopped and the doors opened again with the police exiting the vehicle. Again, they argued with the protester and it appeared he was going to be arrested. Protesters, however, began to mass around the man and began shouting at the police who then backed down, got back in the truck, and drove off. The man, who was identified to me as Eric Cavette by other protesters, then walked out into the street with a bullhorn and began saying that the police had backed down because the people had stood up to them. He then began to encourage other protesters to follow him into the street for some type of victory lap or, possibly, something else. Nevertheless, the police had made a U-turn and quickly returned to the scene. Cavette ducked into the crowd and was pursued by police who caught up with him and proceeded to arrest him. As all the protesters became distracted with the melee on the ground, Alex Jones who was leading the protest at this area of the property, quickly recognized this arrest as a potentially staged incident and announced this to the crowd, encouraging them to return to the fence and continue demonstrating. The evidence for the arrest being staged is that Cavette had been arrested on Friday for the same crime yet, although most arrests occurring on Friday usually result in a weekend stay in jail, Cavette was back at the protest the next day. This was not a fact that was lost on many other protesters who suspected Cavette of being a cop for other reasons. According to Frankie Mineo, a Bilderberg protester, Cavette claimed that he had been forcibly vaccinated when arrested (the first time) and that he was sexually assaulted repeatedly by police. He also claimed he was nauseous and had a metallic taste in his mouth after receiving the shot. Although Cavettes claim is certainly plausible enough, the fact is that the area of the fence closest to the Marriott meeting room was the subject of a great deal of police attention. Put this together with the fact that Cavette was encouraging other protesters to enter the street, and there is certainly reason to suspect that Cavettes arrest was indeed a police attempt to distract, dissuade, and intimidate protesters from demonstrating, particularly near this area of the property. If anyone has any more information on this arrest, please feel free to contact selfnews Post at activistpost@gmail.com. Guards Visible However, toward the end of the day on Saturday, activists began cutting the fabric from the fencing, revealing the security goons who had previously enjoyed days of anonymity. Although unable to see inside the building or anything relevant that might produce more information, it was quite a satisfying moment for the protesters who were able to witness the look of fear and surprise on the face of the security personnel. It was only when they were ordered by a superior to move closer to the protesters did they even attempt to do so. Even then, it was apparent to all that security was unprepared to look the activists in the eye. There will be more to come regarding the Bilderberg event in a future article.

2	BREAKING: Find Out Where FOX News Is Being Banned According to recent reporters, Canada regulators have announced that they would reject efforts by Canadas Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, to repeal a law that forbids lying on broadcast news. According to Canadas Radio Act a licenser may not broadcastany false or misleading news. According to reports, this law has kept Fox News and right wing talk radio out of Canada, keeping the news stream leaning heavily to the left. While some claim that this provision is intended to make Canada a model for high quality news coverage, others claim that stories are being left untold. When Stephen Harper attempted to abolish the provision, Canadians rose up against him. Harpers original proposal was to facilitate the launch of Sun TV News deemed Fox News North. What do you think of the ban?

3	TPP Arrogance! U.S. Chief Negotiator Calls 132 Members of Congress and Four Senators, Liars!By Brett Redmayne-Titley Is that thing on? gasped Barbara Weisel, U.S. Chief Negotiator at the Trans Pacific Partnership negotiations, one millisecond after having just accused four U.S. senators, and 132 US congresspersons including to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) who has, repeatedly, demanded to see a copy of the treaty of lying to the American public! Now she spied the arch enemy of all political miscreants blinking menacingly on the white tablecloth right next to her: the voice recorder. Snatching-up this reporters voice recorder, she anxiously attempted to shut it off and/or erase the recording. You cant record this, she continued still anxiously fidgeting with the gadget, obviously aware that she had been caught on tape in several very inflammatory, and by all prior reports fraudulent, accusations. She is employed by the US Congress. You would not know it to speak with her. Twenty minutes earlier I had been chatting comfortably with Sierra Club Transportation Chairman, Mike Bullock, about TPPs lack of transparency at the negotiations and the lack of media coverage in the quiet of the Conference Room now empty at the end of the days Stakeholder Meeting. I had been waiting for US Chief Negotiator Barbara Weisel, who had been dodging questions all while the hall was crowded to show up to meet with me for some prepared questions. Mike thankfully decided to join me with some questions of his own. Short, diminutive, but feisty, Weisel, like the other delegates, was in attendance to aggressively put forward the soothing TPP rationales designed to quell all fears of global domination. Striding in from the dark-wood double doors at the far end of the hall along with her handler, Ms. Nkenge Harmon, she was prepared for a fight. She was not, however, prepared for the sharp sword of the truth. Nor, cutting-edge technology. Very conveniently, Ms. Weisel entered our conversation at a time when we were talking about the lack of transparency regarding American and national sovereignty at the negotiations. So far, all U.S. senators and congressmen have been denied access to viewing any draft of the proposed treaty or attendance at the negotiations. In reaction, on June 24, 2012, four members of the Senate and next, on June 29, one hundred thirty-two members of Congress, in anticipation of the San Diego-hosted, 13th round of the TPP negotiations, sent formal letters to U.S. Trade Representative, Ron Kirk, demanding that Americas elected officials be allowed to participate in, and view draft copies of, the proposed, twenty-six chapters of the TPP terms regulations. These regulations will give multi-national corporations supreme power over US courts, corporations, and the laws and sovereignty of America and eleven other nations. In response, Weisel maintained that the American Public already has plenty of representation via the unelected US negotiators, despite all being employed by the multi-national corporations that have spawned TPP. She did not see this as a conflict of interest. She did, however, admit it was completely up to only these few U.S. corporate negotiators to get it right on behalf of the American public before the treaty is signed. When would that be? Today?! she suggested brightly, would be a good day for a signing ceremony. Now pressed on the issue of access by members of Congress, she continued to assert that all members of the Senate and Congress have always had complete access to the draft treaty. She repeated several times that many members of Congress have seen the draft of the treaty and that they had also been continually given updates on the progress and terms of the negotiations by the office of the U.S. Trade representative, Ron Kirk. Tossing before her both the senatorial and congressional letters that expressed the contrary, the obvious next question was, why? Confronted with the letters barring 136 signatures that vociferously disagreed with her assertions, she preened, Those members of Congress are deliberately misleading Americans. Asked about the four senators letter, thus US Chief Negotiator for the United States at TPP assertively responded, those senators are not being honest. Then she saw the voice recorder. Rarely, in the annals of political over-confidence has a look of supreme confidence turned to one of abject terror so quickly. As she fumbled with the device, finally grudgingly handing it over, Weisel was visibly overcome at the realization of her recorded words, becoming suddenly distracted while presumably re-playing her defamation of just moments before and already calculating damage control. Fortunately, she was saved by her handler, Ms. Harmon, who conveniently informed us it was time for the press conference which Ms. Weisel was to give in the room across the hall. I gave Mike Bullock a very-narrowed sideways glance, as both blustered off. Once out of earshot, the first obvious question to Mike was, Confirm what we just heard. Contacting the Oregon Office of Sen. Ron Wyden for comment, reaction was direct and swift despite the pending 4th of July holiday. It is disappointing that a member of the USTR staff would make comments like this in the press and it underlines the concerns of Members of Congress that the negotiators are not taking the interests and input of individual Americans seriously in the negotiating process. responded Press Secretary, Tom Caiazza, in a written response to this reporters request for comment. Further highlighting Weisels defamation, it continued, Senator Wyden shares the same concerns expressed by his House colleagues and stands by the facts presented in the House and Senate letters. Right now, corporations and interest groups are provided far greater access to, and influence over, international trade negotiations than United States Senators and the public they represent. Unfortunately, neither group [congress and senate] has that opportunity now. Well, amusingly, the voice recorder was actually turned off, of which I repeatedly tried to assure Ms. Weisel as she continued her harangue, thus assuming that I had set her up to voluntarily put her foot in her mouth. After contemplating withholding this surreptitious device from me she finally returned it and was off to the press conference. So, today it was shown to America and eleven other nations what the true meaning of Transparency is, here at the San Diego TPP negotiations.

Ron Kirk: http://cwafiles.org/national/News/Release/TP_Ltr_Final.pdf Letter From Four U.S.Senators to US Trade Rep, Ron Kirk: Dear Ambassador Kirk: We write regarding the ongoing Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations, a regional free trade agreement proposal touted as a model for all future U.S. trade and investment agreements. We are concerned that this process has excluded both Members of Congress and key stakeholders. As a result, groups essential to the success and legitimacy of any agreements are not being provided the opportunity to provide meaningful input on negotiations that have broad policy ramifications. In the past, most U.S. trade agreement texts have not been made available until after they were signed. As a result, changes were all but impossible. If Congress and the broader public are not informed of the exact terms of the agreement until the conclusion of the process, then the opportunity for meaningful input is lost. The lack of transparency and input makes passage of trade agreements more contentious and controversial. Extensive consultations with Congress and stakeholders are essential because of the unprecedented scope of these negotiations. Indeed, the negotiations USTR is pursuing will create binding policies on future Congresses in numerous areas where there is significant public interest, including policies related to labor, environment and natural resources, land use, food, agriculture and product standards, intellectual property rights, state-owned enterprises and government procurement policies, as well as financial, healthcare, energy, telecommunications and other service sector regulations. In an effort to ensure full public disclosure and consultation, we request that the USTR provide the public with detailed information and consistent updates on what USTR is seeking in the TPP on these matters of broad public interest. One additional area of concern is copyrights. The significant concerns that bills like Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA) met from the public, underscore how unsettling such matters can become without a broad consultative process. The copyright language in the TPP may not mirror the approach of SOPA and PIPA, but due to the secrecy surrounding the TPP there is no guarantee that it will not. Since the terms will only be made public after an agreement is signed, the stakes are too high to exclude important stakeholders and Congress from the negotiation process. Therefore, we request that you expand the consultation process by broadening the scope of the Industry Trade Advisory Committee (ITAC) for Intellectual Property Rights to include key stakeholders advocating for internet freedom as well as right-holders. A separate committee to address these concerns should be given consideration as well. We believe these recommendations would demonstrate a commitment to this Administrations goals of making the federal government more transparent and responsive. We look forward to discussing these issues with you. Sincerely, Sherrod Brown, U.S. Senator Still trying to wrap my head around the fact that our legislators arent allowed to see the TPP. If theyre hiding it from Congress, you KNOW it will take away our sovereignty. Kudos to author for capturing this! THANK YOU! Love, Tenderness, Goodness, and Truth, are four great essentials for development of the Divine IN man. Love in its highest aspect is God. Its a pity that Weisel (weasle) didnt get her teeth into a live electrical cable! Hmmmmm, unread legislation, havent we been here before? We no longer have a government any more, we have a mafia. A PEOPLE DESERVE ANY REGIME THEY ENDURE Congress is so impotent that might as well pack there bags and drag their worthless butts back to the state they belong a bunch of back stabbing perverted puppets doing whatever dance they are told. States can nullify the charters of corporations but it would take citizen pressure and willing politicians to pull this off. Imagine nullifying the corporate charter of the Fascist Phone Company of Pennsylvania. Looks like another one of the Victoria Nuland variety.

3	Liberty Movement Needs More Innovations To Counter Technological TyrannyBy Brandon Smith As I have outlined in past articles, most terror groups are creations of our nations own covert intelligence apparatus, or the covert agencies of allied governments. ISIS is perhaps the most openly engineered terror organization of all time (surpassing Operation Gladio), with U.S. elites and purported anti-Muslim terror champions like Sen. John McCain and Gen. Paul Vallely making deals with moderate Free Syrian Army rebels who immediately turn out to be full fledged ISIS fighters (Im sure they were not surprised by this outcome) and the Obama Administration blatantly funding and arming more moderates which again in turn seem to be crossing over into the hands of ISIS. Frankly, the whole idea that there is a moderate front in places like Syria where alphabet agencies reign supreme is utterly absurd. The bottom line our political leadership, Republican and Democrat alike, created ISIS out of thin air, and now the American people are being expected to relinquish more individual liberties in the name of stopping this fabricated threat. Apparently, the Orwellian police state structures built under the auspices of the Patriot Act, the AUMF, the NDAA, FISA, etc. have not been enough to stop events like the Chattanooga shooting from occurring. So, what is the answer? Well, certainly not a reexamination of our insane foreign policy or an investigation into government funded false flag terrorism; that would make too much sense. Instead, the establishment claims we need MORE mass surveillance without warrants, tighter restrictions on individual freedoms, and even, according to retired General Wesley Clark, internment camps designed to separate and confine disloyal Americans from the rest of the population. Remember, all of this is being suggested in the name of stopping ISIS, but the language being used by political elites does not restrict such actions to ISIS related extremists. Once again, the war on terror is an ambiguous war, so ambiguous that internment camps supposedly meant for those the government labels POTENTIAL Islamic extremists could also be used for potential extremists of any group. Once the fuse is lit on the process of rendition, black bagging, internment, and assassination of citizens, any citizens, without trial, there will be no stopping the powder keg explosion to follow. I believe that the power brokers that dictate legal and political developments within our country are preparing to turn the full force of the police state machine against the American people, all in the name of protecting us, of course. I do not need their brand of protection, and neither does anyone else. It comes down to this in the face of an increasingly advanced technological control grid, either liberty movement activists and freedom fighters must develop our own countermeasures, or, we will lose everything, and every generation after us will blame us for our inaction, if they remember us at all. Keep in mind a countermeasure must be decentralized. Bitcoin, for instance, is NOT a practical countermeasure being that it relies on a centralized and monitored global Internet in order to function. It also does not encourage any tangible production capabilities or skill sets. Therefore, it does not provide for the function of a true alternative economy. It is a false solution and a useless countermeasure to a fiat currency based economy. A real countermeasure to a controlled economy, for instance, would be a localized barter economy in which people must develop ways to produce, rather than play make believe with digital cryptocurrencies. Countermeasures do not always have to be high tech. In fact, I am a staunch believer in the advantages of low tech solutions to high tech tyranny. As many are already aware, with the aid of Oath Keepers I recently developed a long term wearable cloak system which defeats FLIR thermal imaging, including military grade thermal imaging. Something which has never been offered on the civilian market before. But this is only one countermeasure to one major threat. I will continue to work on defenses in other areas in which I feel I am best qualified; however, the movement needs more RD, and we need it NOW before it is too late. I would like to suggest some possible dangers, and how people with far more knowledge than myself could create tools for defeating tyranny. I would also like to examine some simple organizational countermeasures which EVERYONE should be undertaking right now. Community Defense This is an amazing countermeasure for the liberty movement because it removes the monopoly of state control over individual security. Nothing pisses off the establishment more than people taking individual and community defense into their own hands. Fear is the greatest weapon of a corrupt government, and if they cant keep you afraid because you are your own security, then they have lost considerable leverage over you. This dynamic is represented perfectly in the Oath Keepers Community Preparedness Team model, which has been utilized successfully in places like Ferguson, MO. Today, in the wake of the Chattanooga shootings, Oath Keeper teams are volunteering across the nation to stand guard (discreetly) at military recruiting offices. The recruiters themselves, who are forced to remain disarmed by the DoD, appear to be thankful for the Oath Keeper presence. This kind of effort shows those in the military that the liberty movement is not the great homegrown monster that the government and the SPLC have made us out to be. It also throws a monkey wrench into the use of false flag terrorism or terrorism funded by covert agencies (as ISIS is) as a means to herd the masses into totalitarianism in the name of safety. You might not be an engineer, or a tactician, but anyone can and should be organizing security teams for the places they live. Nothing could be more important. Community Food Reserve Am I talking about feeding your entire neighborhood or your entire town during a crisis? No, not necessarily. But, if you found an innovative way to make that possible, the rest of the movement would surely be grateful. Preppers do what they can for themselves and their families, but the bottom line is, if you are isolated and unorganized, all your prepping will be for naught. You are nothing more than an easy target and no amount of OPSEC is going to hide the fact that you will look well fed and healthy while everyone else doesnt. The solution to this is to organize community defense, as stated above, but to also organize a community food reserve. I highly suggest approaching already existing groups, like your local churches if they are willing to listen, and discussing the idea of food stores, water filtration, and shelter scenarios. If you can convince at least one community group to make preparations, you have just potentially saved numerous lives and stopped the exploitation of food scarcity as a means to dominate your local population during disaster. WiFi Radar Active WiFi-based radar systems have been developed over the past several years which can see through walls (to a point) and potentially detect persons hiding in an urban environment. The number of radio frequency based radar projects coming out of the dark recesses of DARPA have been numerous, and each project appears to revolve around the goal of complete surveillance ability, or total information awareness. Such measures are not as effective against a technologically advanced opponent, but they could be very effective in dominating a lower tech civilian population. WiFi radar in particular is a rather disturbing concept, and not a field in which I am personally well versed. I have seen some examples of radio-wave based personnel tracking and have not been all that impressed with the visual results, but this is only what has been made available to the public. Sometimes, the DoD will present a technology that does not work as well as they claim in order to strike fear in the minds of their enemies. That said, sometimes they also use tech tools that work far better than they let on. Luckily, radar countermeasure information is widely available to the public, and WiFi blocking and absorbing materials exist also. Liberty champions would do well, though, to look into active countermeasures along with passive, and devise methods for jamming WiFi radar altogether. RFID Matrix RFID chips are a passive technology but rather dangerous under certain conditions. With a grid of RFID readers in place in an environment such as a city, or a highway, a person could be tracked in real time every second of every day. He might not even know he is carrying a chip or multiple chips, the trackers being so small they could be sewn behind the button of a shirt. This is one threat which would probably have to be solved with higher technology. I have seen RFID jamming and spoofing done by civilian computer engineers, mostly from foreign countries. But, this should not just be a hobby for computer experts in technical institutes. The Liberty Movement needs portable RFID jamming and spoofing capability to ensure that these chips, which are set to be ingrained in almost every existing product in the near future from clothing to cars to credit cards, can be rendered useless. Drones Vs. Drones The predator drone is not the biggest threat on the block anymore in terms of surveillance ability. DARPA has been working on other drone designs similar to the A160 Hummingbird and the MQ-8 Fire Scout; lightweight helicopter-style UAVs that can stay in the air for up to 24 hours and provide overwatch in a 30 mile area. And lets not forget about JLENS surveillance blimps (also ironically referred to as ISIS Integrated Sensor Is The Structure project) which can and are outfitted with high grade cameras and radar that can be used to track people from 10,000 feet up in the sky. This is the future of combat operations and the lockdown of populations. Standard military units will be reduced as much as possible while UAVs will be deployed en masse. Air power has always been the biggest weakness of civilians seeking to counter corrupt governments, but this is actually changing. While they may be lower tech in certain respects, civilian based drones are actually keeping pace with military projects, if only because military projects are restricted by bureaucracy and red tape while civilians are encouraged and emboldened by profit motive. Range and elevation limitations in the civilian market are purely legal right now, and such limitations will be of no concern once the SHTF. For the first time in history, common people now have the ability to field an aerial defense. The DoD is well aware of this, and is already working on measures to counter enemy drones through their Black Dart and Switchblade program. The Liberty Movement needs its own Black Dart program. Long Distance Radio And Codes Regardless of the region they live, liberty activists should be developing their own radio code methods for secure communications. There are a few existing frequency hopping and coded radio systems out there on the civilian market, but these are short range units usually with around 1 watt of power. This makes them ideal for quick operational comms and difficult to listen in on simply because their range is so limited. That said, longer range radio communication will likely be essential for the spread of information from one region to the next, and no one should assume that regular phone and Internet will be available in the future. News must travel somehow. This means HAM radio, using mobile repeaters to avoid triangulation, and old school coded messages. The RD portion of this issue I believe needs to be in the use of an Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) for the liberty movement regionally and nationwide. This is a kind of texting through HAM radio, and combining this with traditional low tech cipher coding may be our best bet for long range secure comms. It could also help defeat drones that intercept standard messages and use voice recognition software to identify targets. Decentralized Internet Information sharing makes or breaks a society. Without the Web, the liberty movement would not have found the success it has today, and the alternative media would not exist, let alone be outmatching the readership ratings of mainstream media sources that have otherwise dominated news flow for decades. Unfortunately, the Web is NOT a creative commons as many people believe. It is, as Edward Snowdens revelations on the NSA proved, a highly controlled and monitored network in which there is essentially no privacy, even with the existence of cryptography. The great threat to the establishment is the possibility that people will begin building an Internet separate from the Internet; a decentralized network. Recently, an inventor named Benjamin Caudill was slated to release a device called Proxyham, designed to reroute WiFi signals and remove the possibility of government monitoring of digital communications. Strangely, just before the release of Proxyham, Caudill pulled all devices with the intent to destroy them, and will not be releasing the source code and blueprints to the public as planned. Clearly, something or someone scared the hell out of Caudill, and he is rushing to appease them. We dont know who for certain, but my vote is the NSA. And if this is the case, it means his project and others like it are a threat to the surveillance state, and must be released to the public ASAP. If Caudill doesnt have the guts to do it, then the liberty movement must. An alternative Internet would be a holy grail in the fight against tyranny, if only to show the world that people can indeed decouple from the system and create advanced networks themselves, and do it better than the establishment. These are just a few of the areas that require immediate attention from those with ingenuity in the liberty movement. The time for talk is over. The time for tangible action has begun. Beyond the need for immediate local organization by those preparing for social and economic breakdown, there is a desperate need for out-of-the-box thinkers to develop countermeasures to technological fascism. Its time for the movement to go beyond mere intellectual analysis and provide concrete solutions. There is nothing left but this. Alt-Market is now launching our annual Summer Donation Drive!

1	Pointing out multiple visual and diegetic cues that seem to suggest the character is running behind schedule, cunning 25-year-old movie watcher Alex Midthun told reporters Thursday that he can tell the protagonist of the film he is currently watching must be late for something. Its all implied beneath the surface, of course, but the references to the lead characters lateness are therefor instance, the fact that he overslept is, I believe, strongly suggested by the shot of him waking up, seeing the time on his alarm clock, and bolting out of bed, noted the stunningly observant man, who also referred reporters to the shot of the protagonist hopping around on one pant leg and scrambling to get dressed as a subtle yet apparent indication that the character almost certainly has an appointment of some kind for which he is currently running late. This moment here, where hes shoving his arms through his coat while holding a cup of coffee in one hand, informs the viewer, if only on an unconscious level, that perhaps this man is worried about not arriving on time to a location where his presence is in some way expected or required. Thats what I get from it, anyway, although I admit I have a tendency to overanalyze this stuff. The abundantly clever man went on to caution that to draw any conclusions from the shot of a broken framed photo on the lead characters mantel showing the protagonist and an unidentified woman in a wedding dress would, at this point, be pure conjecture. 
2	ITS WAR: France Just Attacked ISIS In Syria [VIDEO] Following the attack in Nice, France has publicly expressed their outrage. Now, the French Ministry of Defense has just confirmed the massive bombing of Raqqa, the capital of Syria and the headquarters of ISIS. According to reports form an Italian news source, the operation was conducted in coordination with US forces. The US intelligence department was reportedly instrumental in providing the necessary information needed to identify ISIS targets. France has now dropped at least 20 bombs in Syria: 12 aircrafts have been employed, including 10 fighter jets. Social media users in France have also been quick to express their frustration and anger. #KillISIS in now a viral hashtag. The reaction of the French government even continues at home. I want to combat the preachers of hate, we have to act quickly, French Minister Bernard Cazeneuve commented, adding that the Freench government will start shutting down mosques that preach hate and violence. Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

1	Noting that the space hasnt gone more than two consecutive periods without being filled by the sound of soft sobbing or a sharply uttered series of curse words, sources at Conway High School confirmed that the teachers lounge has been the site of five separate emotional breakdowns so far today. Witnesses reported that, beginning a half hour before the first bell rang until mid-afternoon, nearly half a dozen instructors had retreated to the faculty area to methodically rub their temples, dab at tears with a wadded-up tissue, or stifle whimpers as they sat with their head in their hands. At one point during fourth period, according to accounts, a ninth-grade English teacher burst into a crying fit while standing in full view of her colleagues, while at the same time, a history teacher reportedly sat in a stackable plastic chair in the opposite corner of the room and muttered unintelligibly to himself for 20 minutes while staring fixedly forward. Further reports have indicated that, over the same day-long period, the schools various classrooms have been host to at least 53 separate instances of teachers quietly whispering I cant keep doing this under their breath. 
2	Refugee Charged With Murder After Beating 97 Yr Old WWII Veteran To Death According to recent reports, a Des Moines, Iowa man who was charged with beating an elderly neighbor to death was just sentenced. The judge found Ngor Makuey, 20, guilty of first-degree murder. He was charged with breaking into the home of Rupert and Harriet Anderson, attacking the couple, and murdering Rupert with a metal spatula. Somebody got into the house and attacked me and my husband and Im all bloody, Harriet told 9-1-1 dispatchers on the night of the innocent. And Im an old woman. And Im on the floor and my husbands been hit in the head. Though Makueys attorney tried to plead insanity during the trial, witnesses claim that they have seen no clear signs of mental illness in the young criminal. Authorities claim that the case is especially disturbing given that Makuey doesnt appear to have a motive for the attack, and he doesnt have any criminal history either. Fortunately, Makuey is going to end up behind bars where he belongs. He was ordered to a life in prison, in addition to a two year sentence and a restitution fee of $150,000 for a charge of assault with intent to commit injury. What do you think? Did Makuey get what he deserves? 
1	With its colorful striped awning, kids' jungle gym in the parking lot, and all-American fare, Ernie's Family Restaurant resembles many other down-home restaurants that promise to treat its customers like family. But what sets this nationwide chain apart is that it actually delivers on its pledge. The recently opened Ernie's Family Restaurant serves up down-home, family-style anger, bitterness and denial at reasonable prices. 'We believe in treating our customers like part of the family,' manager Dean Friesz said during Friday's grand opening of a new Ernie's location on Jericho Turnpike in Garden City. 'That's why Ernie's offers, free with every Old-Fashioned Super-Duper Ernie's Entree, accusations, belittlement, and other barely disguised expressions of bitterness, despair and sour regret that typify American family interaction.' During the Ernie's grand opening, families waited upwards of 45 minutes to be seated. Among them were Deborah and George Sutton of Manhasset, NY, who, along with their two children, Jessica and Todd, were angrily berated by restaurant hostess Julie Templeton while waiting for a table. 'Look at you, George, you're so obsessed with work, you don't even know what's going on in your own kids' lives. It's no wonder they're repressed and emotionally stunted,' Templeton said. 'And Deborah, maybe if you carved out some sort of life of your own, you'd have a little self-esteem, and you wouldn't constantly turn to food as a means of coping with your deep anger and frustration.' When the Suttons were finally seated and George ordered a T-bone steak, waitress Karla Teicher eyed him disdainfully. 'As if you really need it, from the looks of it,' Teicher said. 'If you want to worry about someone's stomach, worry about mine. You knocked me up higher than a kite, and you couldn't care less, you selfish bastard.' Teicher then burst into tears and ran into the kitchen. The commitment to family-style service extends beyond the waitstaff. During the grand opening, head chef Wayne Esteban periodically emerged from the kitchen to pace the aisles and make acerbic comments to random customers. 'Are you going to go out and get a job, or are you going to keep stuffing your face with my food and sleeping under my roof without pitching in at all?' he asked customer Douglas Conrad, 22, of East Meadow. Waiter Craig 'Loser Dropout' Schneider served an elderly customer a BLT combo. 'Why don't you finally admit you're a faggot?' Schneider shouted. 'Mom died of a broken heart because of you. You and your stinking homo lies! I found those magazines and Cub Scout badges in your tool chest in the garage. Everyone knows, you perverted old shit, so why don't you just come out and admit it?' Friesz said that, beginning March 1, Ernie's will feature special 'theme nights' to lure the all-important dinner crowd. 'Tuesdays will be All You Can Eat Salad Bar And You Never Do Anything Right Night; Thursdays will be Prime Rib And My God You've Let Yourself Go Since We Got Married Night; and Saturdays will be Popcorn Shrimp And I Know You're Fucking That Slut Lorraine From The Health Club Night,' he said. Friesz also noted that, while accusations and belittlement are not available to those who order only appetizers or dessert, the waitstaff does give such customers an icy, contemptuous glare that is only a thin mask for the seething cauldron of hatred and resentment that lies just beneath the surface. 'We're so sincere about our pledge to treat you like family,' Friesz said, 'that if we fail to do so in any way, you'll automatically receive a gift certificate redeemable for a free meal and a cutting remark about your sarcastic, negative attitude about everything.' But dissatisfaction doesn't seem likely judging from customer response on opening day. 'I'll be taking the kids here from now on,' Deborah Sutton said. 'Places like Chili's and Applebee's try hard, but that just makes them seem all the more phony. You scarcely get that feeling of real deep-seated resentment there. But here at Ernie's, you get the genuine, dysfunctional article.' 
1	While speaking to a group of White House reporters, President Bush fended off questions about the weak state of the dollar, the expected long-term deficit caused by Social Security and Medicare payments, and a faltering housing market by assuring reporters that the U.S. economy's ability to have such a widespread negative impact on the world only further proves it is 'easily the best.' 'Our recent credit crisis alone has been enough to depress share prices in Japan, Rome, China, and Brazil,' a smirking Bush said during a press conference Thursday. 'Sounds to me like our economy is still pretty powerful.' Bush later added that he was equally proud of the impact U.S. foreign policy has had over the past six years, adding that only a truly great president could be capable of fostering so much hatred across the globe. 
1	Following the successful completion of a large collating project, administrative supervisor Becky Szafranski announced plans to skedaddle earlier than usual Friday. 'Sorry, gang, I gotta scoot,' said Szafranski, who also had to boogie early on Tuesday for a dental appointment. 'If I don't get off my patoot now, the bank will close before I get there.' Szafranski's assistant, Kelly Toomey, said that if Szafranski continues her recent habit of premature skedaddling, she is sure to catch h-e-double-hockey-sticks from department director David Welling. 
2	BREAKING: Loretta Lynch Gets Slammed With Career Ending News After Obstructing Hillarys Investigation Hillary Clinton and her campaign are struggling to recover after the FBI announced they were reopening their investigation at the end of last week. Shes not the only one who is suffering the consequences, however. According to recent reports, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and her Department of Justice have been exposed for going above and beyond to protect Clinton and stop the investigation against her. Reports indicate that the Justice Department actually refused to authorize the use of a grand jury to further the Clinton email investigation, depriving the FBI of the power to compel testimony. Their hands were also tied in requesting the production of evidence by subpoena. The Justice Department is also accused of consulting closely with defense attorneys and permitting Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson to represent Clinton as attorneys, despite the fact that they were subjects of the same investigation and had been granted immunity from prosecution. As if that werent enough, the corrupt department allegedly restricted the FBIs questioning of Mills and other subjects of the investigation by granting outrageous deals that gave unwarranted immunity. What do you think? Does this deep-rooted corruption need to be stopped? Weve had enough.

3	TV Networks Say Youre Breaking The Law When You Skip CommercialsMitch Stoltz EFF and Public Knowledge filed an amicus brief supporting Aereo this week. The suits against Dish are a response to the Hopper DVR and its Auto Hop feature, which automatically skips over commercials. According to the networks complaints, the Hopper automatically records eight days worth of prime time programming on the four major networks that subscribers can play back on request. Beginning a few hours after the broadcast, viewers can choose to watch a program sans ads. These suits are yet another in a long and ignominious series of lawsuits by content owners seeking to control the features of personal electronic devices, and to capture for themselves the value of new technologies no matter who invents them. Weve seen this movie before. Most directly, the Dish suits look like a replay of the 2002 suit against DVR maker ReplayTV. The networks sued ReplayTV for copyright infringement based on another automated commercial-skip feature. They claimed that viewers were infringing copyright when they skipped ads during playback, that skipping robs the advertisers, and that ReplayTV should be responsible. Fast forward ten years. The networks are accusing Dish of inducing copyright infringement. Thats a legal theory first created in the record labels case against peer-to-peer software maker Grokster. The problem for the networks is that a technology maker, service, or other middleman cant be held liable for inducing copyright infringement unless their customers are actually infringing. And that means the networks will have to convince a judge that people who record a TV show, and later decide to skip over the commercials during playback, are violating federal law. Dish is fighting back hard, filing its own lawsuit in New York to have its devices ruled legal. Hopefully, the courts wont turn millions of American commercial-skippers into lawbreakers.

3	Mega Stun Gun Introduced to DODs Non-Lethal ArsenalBrandon Turbeville The new stun gun was recently unveiled at the DODs Non-Lethal Weapons Industry Day and it works by hitting the target individual with alarmingly high voltage for a very short amount of time i.e. billionths of seconds. However, the amount of electricity fired into the persons body, while not specified in terms of exact voltage, will be enough to not only stun the individual but render them unconscious. The victim is supposed to be able to regain consciousness as soon as the flow of electricity stops. However, the Pentagon is predictably working on yet another version of this improved stun gun that will render the victim unconscious for several minutes. The ethical issues surrounding the invention and deployment of such technology, particularly on the streets of the United States are legion. As Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai writes for Wired, How dangerous a device like that could be is unclear. Stun guns have a long and well documented history of abuse even studentsand grandmas have been victims of overzealous, Taser-happy police officers. And their use, despite being labeled non-lethal, can be deadly. According to Amnesty International, at least 500 people have died after being shocked with tasers. In 2008, a jury in San Jose deemed the company that produces the stun gun, Taser International, responsible for the death of Robert Heston, a 40-year-old man who was shot by the cops multiple times. The jury found that the company failed to warn the police that repeated discharges could have a deadly effect on the target. Of course, while the technology itself is obviously dangerous, it is not so much the devices that are responsible for the deaths, as it is the fact that they have been placed in the hands of persons wholly incapable of operating them in a responsible manner. Thus, this technology is in much more than the conceptual phase it is in introductory phase. For instance, in his own write-up in Wired, Franceschi-Bicchierai states that If the Pentagon ever wants this device to see the light of day, it will have to strike the right balance between disabling power and potential damage. It should be noted, however, that this new technology is not the only device being introduced to the general public by way of the Department of Defenses Non-Lethal Weapons Industry Day held in Quantico, Virginia on June 22, 2012. The Pentagons Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate, the DOD agency responsible for such projects had long been researching such technologies and has been proposing such devices as sticky foam guns, sonic cannons, and machines that produce voices inside the victims head, reproducing the effects of schizophrenia. Other technologies include the use of laser beams to blind victims or make them feel unbearable heat. Both of these devices have either been introduced or are in use today, using slightly different technological mechanisms. The dazzling laser mentioned above is designed to work from over 500 meters (0.3 miles) away. The Non-Lethal Thermal Laser, which is designed to produce a powerful heating sensation in the victims body is similar to the Active Denial System which is already completed and uses microwaves to achieve the same effect. The Pentagon is also working on technologies that could affect machines, boats, and other vehicles. These technologies would use radio frequency, high powered microwaves or high-voltage waveforms [that] would disrupt or damage the targets engine controls, potentially shutting them off. These immobilizing rays could even be delivered from the air by a drone. Franceschi-Bicchierai concludes his report for Wired by stating: In short, dont get your hopes or fears too high. Some of these projects will end up being labeled either too ambitious, or too deadlyand theyll never go from a cool presentation to reality. In other words, Franceshi-Bucchierais statement is merely a spin-off of the traditional It couldnt happen here statement the famous swan song of every society that ever descended into tyranny. The problem is that it can happen here and that it is happening here. We need only open our eyes and look around us to see it. Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Mullins, South Carolina.

2	Obama Loving Welfare Queen Mouth Off In Court Gets A SERIOUS Dose Of Reality Things went very wrong when three 15-year-old thugs decided to turn their court proceedings into a chaotic circus unlike anything weve seen before. The trio of teenagers was arrested after stealing a car and leading police on a high speed chase. When it was over, they were brought before a judge in Broward County, Florida. They were faced with charges of burglary, grand theft auto and fleeing and eluding police. The judge sentenced suspect Maurice Thomas to 21 days in detention, and things quickly took a turn for the worse. When Thomas started throwing a tantrum, his friends and family were quick to join in. Cameras caught a woman dancing, while another attacked a guard with obscenities. Meanwhile, suspect Dontavious Butler, who was also on trial, took the opportunity to flash his two rows of gold teeth to the camera. Of course, the outburst was met with swift justice. Instead of sending them just to detention, the judge ordered Thomas and Butler to spend five days in jail for contempt of court. What do you think? Did these boys get what they deserve?

2	Greta Van Susteren Joins Trey Gowdy In Fight To Bring Down Hillary, Demands Answers After Leaked Emails Get Out America was saddened when Greta Van Susteren announced that she would be leaving Fox News. Now, Greta is making headlines once again after a leaked email showed that Hillary Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines insulted her so badly she demanded an apology. The leaked email shows Reines calling Greta malleable, meaning she could be easily bent to someones will. Of course, this isnt true of Greta. Greta took immediate offense to the letter, and demanded that an apology be made. Dear Nick, please convey this message below directly to the Secretary, she began. If you dont intend to do so, please let me know and I will try other avenues to get this email to her. Read Gretas full letter below: Dear Madam Secretary, I have always been respectful and probing. Philipe in an email to you which is now being published in many news organizations referred to me as malleable. Of course this is insulting to me as a journalist but I can take insults. However, I dont think it fair when my interviews have always been respectful and probing and fair. Philipe mistakes respectful and probing and fair for malleable. I would very much like to interview you now about this and get this cleared up for my reputation. This would be fair just as I have been fair. Best, Greta Van Susteren. Hillarys spokesman Nick Merrell responded to the letter with the following: First, let me start by saying that in my many years working for HRC, I have rarely heard her or staff more consistently convey respect for a journalist than for you. While at State when you joined us on the road and during our extensive conversations leading up to the book tour. Your interviews with HRC havent been because youre easy on her, in fact Id argue she suffers in performance when shes up against a lesser intellect. You challenge her, and do so on substance, youre tough, lawyerly, and fair. And thats why you are someone she likes personally and respects professionally. So while Im not going to get into a game of dictionary here, that has been my experience, and while that single email from years ago is unfortunate, its not representative of anyones view. I think I could make a reasonable argument for why putting HRC out with you right now would not be to anyones benefit, but the truth is that we are simply not there yet. It doesnt mean we arent thinking things through more broadly, but the focus of the campaign as it ramped up and in the short period since the launch has been to engage voters in the early states, first and foremost, and raise money. Weve started to do some local interviews here and there, but thats been it. Happy to talk about this more at your convenience, and I hope we can continue to maintain your working relationship with us, and with HRC. Nick 
1	The Boston Red Sox, who have failed to win a single World Series since the departure of relief pitcher Curtis Leskanic in 2004, are attempting to defy the odds and do the impossible: reverse the curse of the journeyman reliever whose ghost has haunted this team since the mid-2000s. Pitted against the Colorado Rockies in the 2007 Fall Classic, the team that for two long years seemed like it might be destined to lose forever has a chance to finally put an end to its 36-month-long World Series drought. However, the Red Sox must first overcome the famed Curse of Curtis Leskanic, which caused medium-to-long-suffering fans much anguish and heartache during the period between 2005 and 2006. 'It will take a miracle for the Sox to win the World Series as long as the spirit of Leskanic has anything to say about it,' wrote Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy, who coined the phrase 'Curse Of The Former Red Sox Relief Pitcher Curtis Leskanic' in March of 2005, when an error by shortstop Edgar Renteria allowed the Devil Rays to defeat the Red Sox 7-4 in a spring training game. 'This curse will play a huge part in this series. Every home run that curves just foul, every dropped fly ball, every bad hop, every blown callCurtis Leskanic will be there.' Leskanic, a right-handed set-up man acquired by the Red Sox halfway through the 2004 season, pitched nearly 28 innings for the team from July to September, and was present as Boston defeated the Yankees in the ALCS and went on the win the World Series. However, as legend has it, the Red Sox refused to offer him a contract extension, despite the fact that he was coming off a 3-5 season with a 5.19 ERA and 37 strikeouts. Leskanic, unable to find work in the major leagues, retiredand the rest is history. Since then, the Florida Little League team that Leskanic went on to coach has enjoyed unprecedented success, winning the Lake County Round Robin two years in a row and going undefeated in 2006. Meanwhile, the Red Sox have made it to the playoffs just twice since 2004. 'I don't usually believe in 'curses,' but how else do you explain the Red Sox's early elimination from the 2005 Division Series, or their five-game sweep at the hands of the Yankees last August, or the fact that they didn't even make the playoffs in 2006?' said longtime Red Sox fan Gary Everett. 'No team is that unlucky.' 'We never should've gotten rid of Leskanic,' Everett added. 'Just think of how many more rings we'd have now.' 'When [White Sox outfielder Scott] Podsednik hit that home run in Game 1 of the 2005 ALDS, all I could think was, 'Damn you, Leskanic!'' said Allston, MA resident Terry Bresler. 'But if the Sox can beat the Rockies this year, I might be able to finally forgive Tony Graffanino for that error he made in Game 2 of that series.' In an interesting twist of fate, to end the curse, the Red Sox must first beat the Rockies, the team with which Leskanic began his career in 1993. Many fans believe destiny brought these two teams togetherthat it is only fitting that the Red Sox must exorcise the demons of their recent past against the very team with which Leskanic enjoyed his greatest success, including his 7-5, 6.23 ERA season in 1996 and his 1-1 effort in 1994. 'Ending the curse against the Rockies will just make it that much sweeter,' said Boston resident Terry McMahon. 'Not even Curtis Leskanic can stop this team!' 'I just pray that my son can see the Sox win at least one World Series in his lifetime,' said Boston resident Sal Fischer of his son Cody, 2. Many Red Sox fans believe the Curse of Curtis Leskanic was already broken this June when two diehard Red Sox fans traveled to Leskanic's childhood home in Homestead, PA and burned it to the ground, while others think the curse was lifted in August when the Red Sox won three games in a row. Still others believe that the ghost of Leskanic was expelled from Boston in April, when Jimmy Buffett played to a sold-out crowd at Fenway Park; Leskanic was known for not being that into Jimmy Buffett. Curtis Leskanic currently resides in Orlando, FL with his family, and works as a pro scouting consultant in the Red Sox organization. When reached for comment, he wished the Red Sox the best of luck. 
3	The invention of political realityJon Rappoport In 2012, the pandemic that the world had been anticipating for years finally hit national leaders around the world flexed their authority and imposed airtight rules and restrictions, from the mandatory wearing of face masks to body-temperature checks at the entries to communal spaces like train stations and supermarkets. Even after the pandemic faded, this more authoritarian control and oversight of citizens and their activities stuck and even intensified. In order to protect themselves from the spread of increasingly global problemsfrom pandemics and transnational terrorism to environmental crises and rising povertyleaders around the world took a firmer grip on power. As you read this article, keep in mind that the Rockefeller Empire is very much a medical empire. The Rockefeller Foundation, along with the Carnegie Foundation, changed the course of modern medicine, reinventing it as a global pharmaceutical colossus, whose rationale was: kill germs. Therefore, every so-called viral epidemic, hyped to the hilt, assists in the promotion of the germ as the invisible terrorist, thereby reinforcing toxic medical drugs as the only answer for humankind. Every phony epidemic also helps to engender a larger and tighter medical surveillance system for the worldmuch like a medical NSA. The infamous Trilateral Commission (TC) still exists. Many people think the TC, created in 1973 by David Rockefeller, is a relic of an older time. Think again. Patrick Wood, author of Trilaterals Over Washington, points out there are only 87 members of the Trilateral Commission who live in America. Obama appointed eleven of them to posts in his administration. The original stated goal of the TC was to create a new international economic order. Knowing that you have to break eggs to make an omelette, consider how the following TC members, in key Obama posts, can help engender national chaos, and install binding international agreements that will envelop our economy and money in a deeper global collective: a new world order: Tim Geithner, Treasury Secretary; James Jones, National Security Advisor; Paul Volker, Chairman, Economic Recovery Committee; Dennis Blair, Director of National Intelligence. All Trilateralists. In the run-up to his inauguration after the 2008 presidential election, Obama was tutored by the co-founder of the Trilateral Commission, Zbigniew Brzezinski. In the US, since 1973, author Wood counts eight out of 10 US Trade Representative appointments, and six out of eight World Bank presidencies, as American Trilateral members. Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote, four years before birthing the TC with his godfather, David Rockefeller: [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. Several other noteworthy Trilateral members: George HW Bush; Bill Clinton; Dick Cheney; Al Gore. The first three men helped sink the US further into debt by fomenting wars abroad; and Gores cap and trade blueprint would destroy industrial economies, while vastly increasing the numbers of people in Third World countries who have no access to modern sources of energy. Does all this offer a clue as to why the US economy has failed to recover from the Wall Street debacle of 2008, why the federal bailout was a handout to super-rich criminals, and why Obama took actions which prevented a recovery? (Does it also offer a clue about why we are seeing the ferocious promotion of a phony Ebola epidemic?) A closer look at Tim Geithners circle of economic advisers reveals the chilling Trilateral effect: Paul Volker; Alan Greenspan; E. Gerald Corrigan (director, Goldman Sachs); and Peter G Peterson (former CEO, Lehman Brothers, former chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations). These men are all Trilateral members. How many foxes in the hen house do we need, before we realize their Trilateral agenda is controlling the direction of our economy? The TC has no interest in building up the American economy. They want to torpedo it, as part of the end-game of creating a new international currency, ushering in a de facto Globalist management system for the whole planet. Any doubt on the question of TC goals is answered by David Rockefeller himself, the founder of the TC, in his Memoirs (2003): 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 that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it. Even in what many people mistakenly think of as the TCs heyday, the 1970s, there were few who realized its overarching power. Here is a close-up snap shot of a remarkable moment from out of the past. Its a through-the-looking-glass secretin the form of a conversation between a reporter, Jeremiah Novak, and two Trilateral Commission members, Karl Kaiser and Richard Cooper. The interview took place in 1978. It concerned the issue of who exactly, during President Carters administration, was formulating US economic and political policy. The careless and off-hand attitude of Trilateralists Kaiser and Cooper is astonishing. Its as if theyre saying, What were revealing is already out in the open, its too late to do anything about it, why are you so worked up, weve already won NOVAK (the reporter): Is it true that a private [Trilateral committee] led by Henry Owen of the US and made up of [Trilateral] representatives of the US, UK, West Germany, Japan, France and the EEC is coordinating the economic and political policies of the Trilateral countries [which would include the US]? COOPER: Yes, they have met three times. NOVAK: Yet, in your recent paper you state that this [Trilateral] committee should remain informal because to formalize this function might well prove offensive to some of the Trilateral and other countries which do not take part. Who are you afraid of? KAISER: Many countries in Europe would resent the dominant role that West Germany plays at these [Trilateral] meetings. COOPER: Many people still live in a world of separate nations, and they would resent such coordination [of policy]. NOVAK: But this [Trilateral] committee is essential to your whole policy. How can you keep it a secret or fail to try to get popular support [for its decisions on how Trilateral member nations will conduct their economic and political policies]? COOPER: Well, I guess its the press job to publicize it. NOVAK: Yes, but why doesnt President Carter come out with it and tell the American people that [US] economic and political power is being coordinated by a [Trilateral] committee made up of Henry Owen and six others? After all, if [US] policy is being made on a multinational level, the people should know. COOPER: President Carter and Secretary of State Vance have constantly alluded to this in their speeches. KAISER: It just hasnt become an issue. SOURCE: Trilateralism: The Trilateral Commission and Elite Planning for World Management, ed. by Holly Sklar, 1980. South End Press, Boston. Pages 192-3. Of course, although Kaiser and Cooper claimed the Trilateral takeover of US domestic and foreign policy was already out in the open, it wasnt. Their interview slipped under the mainstream media radar, which is to say, it was ignored and buried. It didnt become a scandal on the level of, say, Watergate, although its essence was far larger than Watergate. US economic and political policy run by a committee of the Trilateral Commissionthe Commission had been created in 1973 as an informal discussion group by David Rockefeller and his sidekick, Zbigniew Brzezinski, who would become Jimmy Carters National Security Advisor. Shortly after Carter won the presidential election, his aide, Hamilton Jordan, said that if after the inauguration, Cy Vance and Brzezinski came on board as secretary of state and national security adviser, Weve lost. And Ill quit. Lostbecause both men were powerful members of the Trilateral Commission and their appointment to key positions would signal a surrender of White House control to the Commission. Vance and Brzezinski were appointed secretary of state and national security adviser, as Jordan feared. But he didnt quit. He became Carters chief of staff. Now consider the vast propaganda efforts of the past 40 years, on so many levels, to install the idea that all nations and peoples of the world are a single Collective. From a very high level of political and economic power, this propaganda op has had the objective of grooming the population for a planet that is one coagulated mass, run and managed by one force. A central engine of that force is the Trilateral Commission. And, as one strategy for pushing the planet into that networked coagulated massand weakening it through the ubiquitous use of toxic medicineswe have seen a parade of phony global epidemics, promoted as threats requiring a single universal response.

1	Hobo clown Moocher the Tramp led a life similar to that of any hobo clown: riding the rails, begging for hand-outs of food and clothing, scavenging for over-sized novelty shoes in trash heaps and entertaining young and old alike. What made Moocher different, however, was the presence of his best friend Hammy the Pig, the trained pet sow he raised from a piglet. Delighting children with her uncanny tricks, Hammy would dance, stand on her hind legs and even juggle multi-colored rubber balls with her snout. The sound of Moochers accordion, accompanied by Hammys happy squeals and oinks, was always guaranteed to alert children up and down the Sioux City Line that fun was on the way. That is, until last week. Due to the current recession, in combination with the onset of winter, Moocher the Tramp is sad to announce that his friend and partner, Hammy the Pig, has been slaughtered, filleted, and stored as foodstuffs, a press release from Moochers agent said. I know children are aghast at what I have done, Moocher said to the assembled media. But they dont understand what its like to be a hobo clown these days. The poverty, cold, and unsympathetic brakemen can be unbearable. For a homeless vagrant to go on supporting a 500-pound sow under such conditions is just too much to ask. A mere 10 inches long when Moocher first began training his animal friend, the rotund Hammy had grown to 504 pounds when she was slaughtered for meat last week at age six. Those were six good years, Moocher said. Believe me, when youve got empty pockets and find yourself huddling for warmth on a freight car outside of Fargo, a sow that size starts looking less and less like a humorous sidekick and more and more like a couple months worth of pork. Hammy, whose slaughtered corpse yielded Moocher nearly 200 pounds of sausage, ham, ribs, pork patties, bacon, chitlins, pigs feet (pickled) and head cheese, may be gone, but she will not be forgotten. I have in my left pocket a memento, said Moocher, his painted-on frown all the more tragic and emotionally evocative for the experience of his recent loss. Pulling out a small plastic-wrapped bundle, he said, This is all thats left of Hammy. Its my lucky pork chop, and it will be a part of every magic act I perform from now until the day of my death. The public may be reeling from Moochers decision to end his six-year partnership with Hammy the Pig, but who is really to blame for this tragedy? We must ask ourselves, is it a hobo clown trying to survive on the railways? Or is it the sad, cruel legacy of Reagans America? For Moocher, a single tear trailing down his stubbled, painted face, there can perhaps be no answer. The only solace is a few more more months of food and one fewer friend. The New York Times contributed to this story. 
3	Who Runs The World? Solid Proof That A Core Group Of Wealthy Elitists Is Pulling The StringsMichael Snyder, Contributor As you will see later in this article, the ultra-wealthy have enough money sitting in offshore banks to buy all of the goods and services produced in the United States during the course of an entire year and still be able to pay off the entire U.S. national debt. That is an amount of money so large that it is almost incomprehensible. Under this neo-feudalist system, all the rest of us are debt slaves, including our own governments. Just look around everyone is drowning in debt, and all of that debt is making the ultra-wealthy even wealthier. But the ultra-wealthy dont just sit on all of that wealth. They use some of it to dominate the affairs of the nations. The ultra-wealthy own virtually every major bank and every major corporation on the planet. They use a vast network of secret societies, think tanks and charitable organizations to advance their agendas and to keep their members in line. They control how we view the world through their ownership of the media and their dominance over our education system. They fund the campaigns of most of our politicians and they exert a tremendous amount of influence over international organizations such as the United Nations, the IMF, the World Bank and the WTO. When you step back and take a look at the big picture, there is little doubt about who runs the world. It is just that most people dont want to admit the truth. The ultra-wealthy dont run down and put their money in the local bank like you and I do. Instead, they tend to stash their assets in places where they wont be taxed such as the Cayman Islands. According to a report that was released last summer, the global elite have up to 32 TRILLION dollars stashed in offshore banks around the globe. And of course that does not even count the money that is stashed in other locations that the study did not account for, and it does not count all of the wealth that the global elite have in hard assets such as real estate, precious metals, art, yachts, etc. The global elite have really hoarded an incredible amount of wealth in these troubled times. The following is from an article on the Huffington Post website But as I mentioned previously, the global elite just dont have a lot of money. They also basically own just about every major bank and every major corporation on the entire planet. According to an outstanding NewScientist article, a study of more than 40,000 transnational corporations conducted by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich discovered that a very small core group of huge banks and giant predator corporations dominate the entire global economic system The researchers found that this core group consists of just 147 very tightly knit companies The following are the top 25 banks and corporations at the heart of this super-entity. You will recognize many of the names on the list 1. Barclays plc The ultra-wealthy elite often hide behind layers and layers of ownership, but the truth is that thanks to interlocking corporate relationships, the elite basically control almost every Fortune 500 corporation. The amount of power and control that this gives them is hard to describe. Unfortunately, this same group of people have been running things for a very long time. For example, New York City Mayor John F. Hylan said the following during a speech all the way back in 1922 These international bankers created the central banks of the world (including the Federal Reserve), and they use those central banks to get the governments of the world ensnared in endless cycles of debt from which there is no escape. Government debt is a way to legitimately take money from all of us, transfer it to the government, and then transfer it into the pockets of the ultra-wealthy. Today, Barack Obama and almost all members of Congress absolutely refuse to criticize the Fed, but in the past there have been some brave members of Congress that have been willing to take a stand. For example, the following quote is from a speech that Congressman Louis T. McFadden delivered to the U.S. House of Representatives on June 10, 1932 Sadly, most Americans still believe that the Federal Reserve is a federal agency, but that is simply not correct. The following comes from factcheck.org According to researchers that have looked into the ownership of the big Wall Street banks that dominate the Fed, the same names keep coming up over and over: the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, the Warburgs, the Lazards, the Schiffs and the royal families of Europe. But ultra-wealthy international bankers have not just done this kind of thing in the United States. Their goal was to create a global financial system that they would dominate and control. Just check out what Georgetown University history professor Carroll Quigley once wrote Sadly, most Americans have never even heard of the Bank for International Settlements, but it is at the very heart of the global financial system. The following is from Wikipedia The ultra-wealthy have also played a major role in establishing other important international institutions such as the United Nations, the IMF, the World Bank and the WTO. In fact, the land for the United Nations headquarters in New York City was purchased and donated by John D. Rockefeller. The international bankers are internationalists and they are very proud of that fact. The elite also dominate the education system in the United States. Over the years, the Rockefeller Foundation and other elitist organizations have poured massive amounts of money into Ivy League schools. Today, Ivy League schools are considered to be the standard against which all other colleges and universities in America are measured, and the last four U.S. presidents were educated at Ivy League schools. The elite also exert a tremendous amount of influence through various secret societies (Skull and Bones, the Freemasons, etc.), through some very powerful think tanks and social clubs (the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group, the Bohemian Grove, Chatham House, etc.), and through a vast network of charities and non-governmental organizations (the Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the World Wildlife Fund, etc.). But for a moment, I want to focus on the power the elite have over the media. In a previous article, I detailed how just six monolithic corporate giants control most of whatwe watch, hear and read every single day. These giant corporations own television networks, cable channels, movie studios, newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, music labels and even many of our favorite websites. Time Warner Walt Disney Viacom News Corporation CBS Corporation NBC Universal And of course the elite own most of our politicians as well. The following is a quote from journalist Lewis Lapham Have you ever wondered why things never seem to change in Washington D.C. no matter who we vote for? Well, it is because both parties are owned by the establishment. It would be nice to think that the American people are in control of who runs things in the U.S., but that is not how it works in the real world. In the real world, the politician that raises more money wins more than 80 percent of the time in national races. Our politicians are not stupid they are going to be very good to the people that can give them the giant piles of money that they need for their campaigns. And the people that can do that are the ultra-wealthy and the giant corporations that the ultra-wealthy control. Are you starting to get the picture? There is a reason why the ultra-wealthy are referred to as the establishment. They have set up a system that greatly benefits them and that allows them to pull the strings. They do. In fact, they even admit as much. David Rockefeller wrote the following in his 2003 book entitled Memoirs There is so much more that could be said about all of this. In fact, an entire library of books could be written about the power and the influence of the ultra-wealthy international bankers that run the world. But hopefully this is enough to at least get some conversations started. So what do you think about all of this?

2	Judge Rules Bergdahl Deal Could End Up With Obama Serving 10 Years To Life In Prison Recently, Judge Andrew Napolitano appeared on Fox News, where he argued with Shepard Smith about whether Obama should be facing serious penalties for his actions in the recent prisoner exchange. Judge Napolitano does not believe the exchange was legal under the NDAA H.R. 1960 Statute. According to Napolitano, taxpayer dollars were used in the exchange, without 30 days notice. Napolitano is also one of several to argue that Obamas actions actually provided material assistance to a terrorist organization. The Judge argued that the aid came in the form of human assets, and that the crime is punishable from between 10 years and a life sentence. According to Napolitano, the President is not exempt from such punishment. Several are also arguing that Congress may have the evidence they need to have Obama impeached. What do you think? Do you feel safe with Obama as your president? 
2	Donald Trump Slams Bill OReilly After He Goes After Him [VIDEO] The OReilly Factor recently featured presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, and the interview turned into a heated debate between OReilly and the legendary businessman about birthright citizenship. As part of his plan to curb illegal immigration, Trump claimed that he hopes to end automatic citizenship for babies born to illegal immigrant parents that are living in the United States. This remains the biggest magnet for illegal immigration, Trump stated in his plan. Still, OReilly pushed Trump, claiming that there is no hope for his proposal to become reality. The 14th Amendment says if youre born here, youre an American and you cant kick Americans out, OReilly told Trump. And then if you wanted to deport the people already here, each and every one are entitled to due process, and it would take decades to do that, and gazillions of dollars, and the courts would block you at every turn. You must know all that. Many lawyers are saying thats not thats not the way it is, Trump fired back, claiming that many good lawyers support him. The conversation escalated from there. At the end of the interview, OReilly asked Trump whether or not the interview was fair. Youre always fair, Trump concluded, ignoring the reference to his feud with Megyn Kelly. I promise. I think youre terrific. I watch you all the time and I think you were very fair tonight. Dont think Im terrific, OReilly jabbed back. Thats not good for me. All right? Watch the full interview below and tell me what you think. 
1	The Bedouin Free Army, described by State Department officials as an unambitious offshoot of the PLO, is claiming responsibility for Sunday's overturning of a garbage can near the Western Wall. According to reports, the group intended to bring attention to what they called a 'serious lack of pens' in Bedouin Army encampments near the Gaza Strip. Israeli officials had ignored the group's most serious act prior to Sunday, the 1995 slamming down of a phone receiver 'really hard,' according to State Department files. No one was hurt in the trash can incident, though several pieces of crumpled paper, three falafel balls and a shoe were badly scattered. 
2	Welfare Freeloaders In This State Are FURIOUS After They Get Hit With This Devastating News According to recent reports, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has just approved controversial legislation that will require drug testing for those who are seeking to obtain government benefits. The legislation was introduced by the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families, and will take effect this month. Now, anyone who seeks employment through a state-funded program will be asked to participate in a drug test. If they fail that test, they will be forced to undergo a treatment program before receiving benefits. The same procedure will be used for anyone applying for food stamps or unemployment. The move makes Wisconsin the fourteenth state to implement such a law, joining the following: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Utah. The money to fund the program was approved by state legislature in July. Walker claims that the legislation implements common-sense reformsso we can continue strengthening Wisconsins workforce. These important entitlement reforms will help more people find family-supporting jobs, moving them from government dependence to true independence, Walker claims. Of course, many liberals are against the plans, claiming they intend to demonize welfare recipients. What do you think? Do you support the legislature? 
3	Boom: Another Vaccine Whistleblower Steps Out Of The ShadowsBy Jon Rappoport Vaccine Empire wobbles on its foundations The new film Vaxxed highlights one whistleblower, researcher William Thompson, who publicly admitted he and his CDC colleagues lied, cheated, and committed gross fraud in exonerating the MMR vaccine and pretending it had no connection to autism. Now we have another: Dr. Peter Fletcher. The Daily Mail has the story (3/29/16): Former [British] science chief: MMR fears coming true. A former Government medical officer responsible for deciding whether medicines are safe has accused the Government of utterly inexplicable complacency over the MMR triple vaccine for children. Dr Peter Fletcher, who was Chief Scientific Officer at the Department of Health, said if it is proven that the jab causes autism, the refusal by governments to evaluate the risks properly will make this one of the greatest scandals in medical history. He added that after agreeing to be an expert witness on drug-safety trials for parents lawyers, he had received and studied thousands of documents relating to the case which he believed the public had a right to see. He said he has seen a steady accumulation of evidence from scientists worldwide that the [MMR] measles, mumps and rubella jab is causing brain damage in certain children. But he added: There are very powerful people in positions of great authority in Britain and elsewhere who have staked their reputations and careers on the safety of MMR and they are willing to do almost anything to protect themselves. In the late Seventies, Dr. Fletcher served as Chief Scientific Officer at the DoH [Dept. of Health] and Medical Assessor to the Committee on Safety of Medicines, meaning he was responsible for deciding if new vaccines were safe. He first expressed concerns about MMR in 2001, saying safety trials before the vaccines introduction in Britain were inadequate. Now he says the theoretical fears he raised appear to be becoming reality. He said the rising tide of autism cases and growing scientific understanding of autism-related bowel disease have convinced him the MMR vaccine may be to blame. Clinical and scientific data is steadily accumulating that the live measles virus in MMR can cause brain, gut and immune system damage in a subset of vulnerable children, he said. Theres no one conclusive piece of scientific evidence, no smoking gun, because there very rarely is when adverse drug reactions are first suspected. When vaccine damage in very young children is involved, it is harder to prove the links. But it is the steady accumulation of evidence, from a number of respected universities, teaching hospitals and laboratories around the world, that matters here. Theres far too much to ignore. Yet government health authorities are, it seems, more than happy to do so. The pressure is building on the medical establishment and their press lackeys. Of course, they will try to keep the lid on. But more and more people around the worldmany through bitter personal experience with vaccinesare waking up. The statements of establishment front men ring hollow. Well, of course these vaccines are safe, remarkably so. How could any sane person think otherwise? Sane people are thinking otherwise. They know theyre being conned, and their health and the health of their children is under attack. More whistleblowers are going to come out of the closet. The strange notion of having an actual conscience is making a comeback. Even media androids, whose job it is to spread disinformation, are going to realize theyre nothing more than dupes for the vaccine cartel. And some of them arent going to like the realization, especially when it interrupts their sleep at night. Especially as they come to understand theyre aiding and abetting the lifelong infliction of brain damage on innocent children. Not everyone can blithely go on their way, doing their dirty work, in the face of that knowledge. Ive been working as an independent reporter for 30 years, and I can tell you that at this point, the whole vaccine propaganda apparatus is like a porcelain vase sitting on a table. And an earthquake is commencing. Somewhere, right now, as I write this, a vaccine expert none of us yet knows about is sitting in his office thinking: Thompson and Fletcher have come forward. It might be time for me to tell what I know, what Ive been hiding all these years. He isnt a hero. Hes a chronic scientific liar who cant stand the conspiracy of silence any longer. Hes remembering what a conscience is. And hes calculating the relative consequences of voluntarily coming clean now vs. being exposed later. Hes sniffing which way the new wind is blowing.

Id be down for something like David Swanson at Washingtons blog purposes, a truth sms reconciliation committee- making it clear any hold outs be tossed in jail, lose their licenses for life, etc. The truth is the most important thing right now. Revoke the vaccine lawsuit exemption too, thats key. Theres people who know exactly whats going on, and they need to talk. I agree. The truth is coming out in drips and drabs. We need all of this information act as a bulldozer so that the so called experts will be forced into an open debate instead of this old and tired case is closed strategy. About 20 doctors were getting ready to publish last summer (2015) and they were all ki lled. Each was made to look self-inflicted, but that number just does not do that. So if everyone comes out all at once, without warning about it beforehand, progress might be made. There is so much money in the pharm industry that evil lurks in every corner. Beat me too it, I was gonna say- thats so much money, so many reputations at stake, nefarious plans at risk- theres a lot of vaccines being developed right now. Do you mean all the naturopaths in the US that died suspiciously? This is exactly the kind of thing that people get killed for, it goes that high up, involves so much damn evil money and power. Its a f*cked up world. You are misinformed that the doctors being murdered are naturopaths, or NDs Many of the doctors were MDs (medical doctors), a number were DCs ( Doctor of Chiropractic medicine). They were all doctors who were actually curing people of cancers, etc, that the AMA/MD cartel does not want people healed from. The evil ones may think they are getting away with mass murder, but they will NOT. People are educating themselves, and then helping others to wake up..it cannot be stopped. cheers Thank you. I was looking for a word on the fly to separate them from traditional, or mainstream doctors. I thought the number was higher than 20, making me think there was a different set of dead docs. Appreciate the info. I do believe the number of murdered and vanished doctors is growing, tragically. These were all outstanding physicians with different specialities. I read a small article about 20 or so doctors in Europe I believe it was a conference on homeopathy who were POISONED at the conference! They were ambulanced to hospital, and I dont think any of them died I hope not. (Homeopathy is very popular in Europe even the British Royal Family (gag) uses it, and Prince Charles grows organic foods and livestock. cheers Poisoned! Wow. Hey right on, thanks again. I thank you again There were a different set of Doctors killed this last year. They were Aids Doctors who were on their way to a conference when their plane mysteriously went down. I saw that story its been do long now I cant remember my reaction. Anyway Ive seen a documentary concerning the aids/vaccine link, was fascinating. Liam Scheff would talk about this and if youve never heard of him Id encourage you to check him out. Unfortunately hes battling a mysterious illness and hasnt priced much at all for months its sad. But check out his YouTube channel look for topics you like, videos and podcasts, dude is hilarious. Explicit and vulgar and raunchy be warned just in case you dont like that but hes also quite brilliant and a great interviwer with a unique take on live. Really nice guy. I think that covers it);) Thank you for that. I listened to his program yesterday, smart man and funny. A potent mix. Cheers! My pleasure and my apologies for the previous comment with all the typos yikes. Revoke the vaccine lawsuit exemptionabsolutely! People who promote mandatory vaccines dont do so because they give a crap about their fellow humans. They do it because they worship whatever Big Government and Big Pharma says, and they take blind orders on how to think from their TVs every day. They are no better than radical christians who burned people at the stake for not believing in their blood cult, or radical muslims who behead people for the same reason. Vaccine fanatics want their religion enforced at the point of a gun Agree. Ask those same people that claim to care so much about their fellow humans how they feel about Big Pharma killing over 100,000 Americans per year on average with their FDA-approved legal drugs and watch all that pro-vaccine venom dissipate instantly Actually, I read that the witch burning was started by medical men who didnt like the competition from midwives who used herbal and natural healing methods, and so the doctors started the idea that those women were unChristian and devil worshipers, and the gullible public went along. Why does that NOT surprise me? Considering how the Knights Hostatlers started the modern medical cult while under the direction of the Vatican and later the Inquisition, it sounds like the same evil from the same usual suspects Im sure I can find good info about this Knights H. group but can you suggest a source, documentary, site, article, whatever? Id never heard of them. Thanks I love new info. New to me anyway They dont care ; they are paid to not care. Its unbelievable that human beings have been brainwashed into thinking it was OK to inject unknown chemicals into their bloodstreams without asking questions. vaccine with no preserving additives is NOT a chemical, its a live virus or bacteria that is not strong enough to cause a decease yet still triggers the immune system to develop the antibodies for protection. From that perspectives, if not for vaccines, we would still be dying from plagues, typhoid, and a slew of other deceases that have not raised their ugly heads for 3 or 4 generations.. so much so that people forgot how terrible all those epidemics used to be in the past. Right, but thats speaking of (as you mentioned) those vaccines with no additives such as Aluminum phosphate, formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, 2-phenoxyethanol, etc Humans have existed for over 200,000 years and got along fine without injecting chemicals into the bloodstream. They love to use the phrase We forget the diseases of the past. This is not true. Its the cures that we forget. Nutrition sanitation are the best defense against disease. Let the body do what it was designed to do. I totally agree with you with Big Pharma putting profits over people. There are NO vaccines without additives. And all these additives (adjuvants) are highly toxic absolute poisons such as mercury known for hundreds of years to damage the brain and nervous system, formaldehyde ( embalming fluid ), and on and on..No vax is safe or effective..DO NOT CONSENT. . its a live virus or bacteria that is not strong enough to cause a decease (sic) yet still triggers the immune system to develop antibodies for protection. No, it doesnt even do this. The same people who told all the other lies told this lie too, and there is plenty of evidence the whole vaccination theory is not just flawed science, it was a fraud from the beginning. You have to dig deep for this information but its there. Sanitation is the reason we dont die of typhoid and a slew of other deceases. Large scale deaths from viruses were due to poor sanitation and malnutrition weakening the hosts thus impairing optimal immune system function. When the west began improving nutrition and sanitation around the early 1900s, the death rate from viral infections began to plummet and by the time mandatory vaccines went into effect around the mid-1900s death rates were DOWN ~ 95 to 97 percent. Cause and effect are not understood and I didnt know either having taken two graduate level immunology courses. Thats nuts! You also dont seem to know the difference between cellular and humoral immunity thats important! Ultimately, this isnt about profit, its about CONTROL, its the reason the Rockefellers captured and controlled the rise of allopathic medicine. Even the old small pox vaccines that were given without any additives were lethal and unnecessary leading to riots in some small towns. Go to Dr. Humphries website dissolvingillusions.com for more detailed information. and talking about sanitation, it was also the fact doctors didnt even know enough to wash their hands, even when they went from autopsies to patients and back. The doctor who figured this out in 1845 was hounded by the medical profession for his discovery and even today people are still infected by the allopathic witch doctors who dont wash their hands between patients. Excellent, the remarkable story of Ignaz Semmelweis, literally hounded out of his profession and ended up in an asylum for daring to suggest fellow physicians wash their hands. What heresy! Its the old story of Galileo again and again clashing with dogma. Yes, thats the dude. I couldnt remember how to spell his name. Thanks. And Dr. Wakefieldand so many others in just the past year actually murdered..They just tried to destroy Dr. Wakefields reputation and career, but HE will not consent, and WE will not consent..cheers Yes, that was Dr. Semmelweis, who even after he PROVED that women giving birth were dying from the infections given to them by doctors who had just been touching dead bodies and ill people, the AMA-type rulers would not initiate basic sanitation. Poor Dr. Semmelweis eventually went nuts from having to be witness to the horrible, preventable deaths..Now, we HAVE to watch the horrible suffering and deaths being spread through the vaccine theory..never proven, never proven safe, and never proven effective. DO NOT CONSENT. Yes, thats the sad truth how one person who gets it, gets it. If people only knew what quackery and voodoo they were subjecting themselves to, they would run far and fast (and get healthier doing so.) I DO NOT CONSENT! Anti-vaccination protest 1919, Toronto. Unfortunately, you do not know much about vaccines..at least you have made a start perhaps you have read the package inserts that are available for anyone to read online and EVERYONE should read these. But that is just the start of the scam, anonymous..you do not know much of anything yet. Keep learning I have been studying this topic sine 1994 and it gets more horrifying each and every year. Vaccines have NEVER stopped any epidemic, and are not required to be SAFE or EFFICACIOUS. In addition, since 1986 the U.S. vax industry has been protected from being sued in court unlike any other industry on earth, except the nuclear industry. Parents of damaged and killed children are forced into a kangaroo court, where very few get through yet this court has now paid out over $3.3 BILLLION dollars subsidized by our TAXES just a small cost of doing business to the vax industry. I think parents who are awarded anything probably must sign secrecy agreements, or this would be public knowledge in the USA by now. cheers Keep sharing your knowledge Elizabeth. People who have been aware of the vax scam for a long time and have done the hard research are the best knowledge base. People will listen if we tell them long enough. Thank-you, I feel real knowledge is the only thing to give people I plan to write some short e-books for people to have for free, to get started protecting their families and themselves. None of us has to consent to this insanity period. But folks dont have the basic facts they need yet we all have to share our real knowledge. cheers! Thank you, Elizabeth, for planning to write some e-books. I feel like the deaths of Gonzalez and Bradstreet, in particular, are a call to us to engage in the toughest infowar battle of our lives expand the light far and wide. Most excellent! It seems you have found a great mission. Cheers to you 2. No, sadly, anonymous, if you actually STUDY the history of both the Rockefeller cartel and the development of advertising, ie brainwashing/control of the media (also a Rockefeller cartel) it will become understandable, and obvious to you. Remember FLUORIDE? Same thingand on and on..cheers No, Ive been involved in this topic for over 10 years so I know all about the Rockefellers takeover of medicine (as well as the fluoride toxic deceptions) and the subsequent distortion of history. Vaccine damage or the question of the effectiveness is only the tip of the iceberg in the entire history/reason for vaccines. Im only stating that people dont use logic in this entire topic. Big Pharmas bribes/contributions to US presidential candidates. If, through my own stupidity, ignorance and blind faith in the government lies, I had now consigned my child to a future life with brain damage and autism, I would be raging against the machine BIG TIME. This is beyond criminal, its plain old evil for profit. I had the same thought reading this, wondering what I would feel if I had an autistic child, how enraged I would be at all the people who conspired to do this to children when they knew all along. I dont think its just about profit either, thats just a kind of first tier excuse to hide behind because Americans have a bad habit of excusing unbridled greed; they write it off as a minor side effect of capitalism. This horror goes far beyond money. This horror goes FAR beyond autism, toothat is only connected to the MMR vax.these AMA-Cartel doctors/MDs care nothing about the dozens and dozens of poisons being injected into babies and children, starting on their day of birth with the Hep B vax. Maybe youd like to jump on the OldeSoul bandwagon to start calling vaccines exactly what they are- Voodoo. Sticking sharp needles into soft children year after year what does that do to a kids head, provided they are left with a functioning brain? I dont have children and I havent had a vaccine since I was about ten, its always been voodoo to me. I hope people will start calling it by its correct name before its too late. Just check out what the useless, unwanted and unneeded HPV (Gardasil, Cerevex) vax is doing to young girls ( and BOYS).and it aint autismcheers But its very profitable! Hey Rappaport .02 from an old timer Here is the crazy thing about this Fletcher story the Daily Mail published in it 2006. This is a ten year old story. But when the Tribeca story went international, the Daily Mail changed the date on the story to make it current, but didnt even change the link. So this is a very old story, but apparently the Daily Mail wanted everyone to read it again, and believe it was current. Someone over there is quite subversive. they are not the first and, with the word decency barely known by the mainstream media faithful servants, are not the last. Makes you question what really happened, if anything, right? It should. So is Fletcher still alive, or was he disappeared like those 20+ doctors last summer? They had found a vaccine link, not only with autism, but with cancer. Yup they found that the vaccine makers are lacing their products with Nagalase, a compound that *prevents* immune cells from uptaking Vitamin D in order to do their jobs. In other words it severely hampers peoples immune systems in order to create revenue from treating the resulting auto-immune disorders. Hitlers Dr. Mengele had NOTHING on todays vaccine manufacturers An open letter he wrote with Wakefield and others a few months after this article was first published: AN OPEN LETTER from Dr Andrew J Wakefield, Dr Peter Fletcher, Dr Peter Harvey, Dr Richard Halvorsen GP, F. Edward Yazbak, MD, FAAP, Jane Maroney El-Dahr M.D. RE: Latest press Letter from Gt Ormond St Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2006 15:24:35 +0100 (GMT Daylight Time) An open letter. It is perplexing to us why, in the face of replication by US scientists of the earlier detection of measles virus in the diseased intestine of UK children with regressive autism, Elliman and colleagues should want to draw a line under this clearly unresolved issue. This flies directly in the face of scientific logic and professional responsibility. The vaccine-strain gene sequences obtained from the diseased intestine of some of these US autistic children is deeply worrying and runs counter to the prevailing belief that the vaccine virus should be cleared from the body in a matter of weeks. Further research will determine whether or not this association is causal. In this context, it is relevant that we have recently published the finding that intestinal inflammation is significantly worse in autistic children who received 2 doses of MMR compared with those who received only one I.e. A possible re-challenge effect. A recent letter from Judith Moreton of the Department of Health to the mother of an affected child, forced to go to the US for appropriate clinical care, confirmed that the department were aware of Dr Walkers work but indicated that it was not evident from the published summary of the work whether the children had received MMR. Any official, genuinely concerned with the issue of vaccine safety would have either attended the poster presentation in the first place thereby clarifying this issue or have Dr Walker put on the next plane to London in order to find out. It is also pertinent to add that Dr Walkers statement regarding causality was intended to indicate that whilst an association between vaccine-strain measles virus and the diseased guts of autistic children was confirmed in his study, this does not yet prove that the association is causal. Careful rephrasing of Dr Walkers statement may read as though he denied the possibility of any association at all. He did not. The authors state that no other country offers the single vaccine as an alternative. On the contrary, single measles vaccine is available in many countries including the US. If the desire is genuinely to protect UK children against measles, then re-introduction of single vaccines as an alternative to MMR should be a government priority. Every aspect of the original 1998 report of the first 12 children with this disorder has been endorsed by independent research. Initial criticisms of our work reporting a temporal link between MMR exposure and autistic regression included the fact that no one has been able to find the virus in these childrens tissues. This finding was duly reported in 2002. The governments fallback position was that no one else has been able to find it. Now that they have, the fallback appears to be stop looking.

(MMR is just the tip of the iceberg!) Thanks for this re-print, Ginger. cheers Ive been scratching my head over that one too, Ginger. The Daily Mail has a tabloids reputation for right wing politics, as in supporting views that ultimately end up supporting Big Business and the elite.yet this story has been recirculated in a subsequent era of extreme mainstream media censorship and bias on the Wakefield case. More than just lazy journalism and stingy editorial budgets, perhaps? Great catch, thanks for the heads up. Bizarre, sounds like an elaborate psy op. This information along with the over-the-top iron fisted approach to censoring VAXXED at two film festivals smells like an operation, an effort to create extreme polarization (?) and yet another distraction away from the march to a biometric cashless mark of the beast system to control our every movements. And who knows what else they dont want us to be looking at? Very strange and in sync with the election circus. InterestingDaily Mail is a tabloid, right? At least they PUBLISHED this incredibly important piece of the truth.Good on em..better late than never! cheers This was not a deliberate attempt by the Daily Mail to keep the story current, Ginger. Antivaxers have been using the 10 year old Daily Mail story as an indication there is current/new research for the last 10 years, when the story is old and the work never amounted to anything and was never published. Interesting to see your own antivax twist on it though making out that the Daily Mail have deliberately engineered this. I guess there is no conspiracist thinking that is too extreme for an antivaxer. BTW, I see you are still a paid shill for an antivaccine organisation. Doesnt that disqualify your comments on the issue? There is a lot of crime around the use of vaccines. Think about it, the health of millions of human beings can be accessed by big greedy pharmaceutical companies that have a long record of tainting vaccines with every poison imaginable on purpose, with deliberate intent to harm. There are many stories that are not even in dispute. Many court cases that have led to admissions and payouts. Many whistle-blowers from the inside that have told the truth. And it shouldnt be surprising in a world where the biggest war making countries are also the ones telling us that they have to go to war to prevent other countries from going to war. They also kill the most to prevent deaths. And they use WMDs to prevent use of WMDs. So really, what is not possible in such a system? Unfortunately, NOBODY IN THE USA injured by vaccines, or whose child has been injured or killed by vaccines, is ALLOWED to sue in court..did you know they must be funneled into a a kangaroo court, set up to protect the vax industry??? The ONLY other industry in the world with such legal protection is the NUCLEAR industry. This vax-protection scam was signed into law by Ronald Reagan, 1986. cheers I have an 8 year old (almost 9) that was born at home and has never been vaccinated and never gets sick. I think its up to 24 states or so, not just Colorado.California legalized cannabis in 1996, I think. cheers Youre 65 and you have an 8 year old? This article and the people agreeing with it are ALL laughable. You are all nothing but paranoid nut-jobs. Hey, Crowley, go crawl away into your crowley hole..(gag).. Guess what, Maggie? TRUTH is stronger than psychology..truth deprograms lies..DO NOT CONSENT. Yeah.. Your comment makes me think you didnt understand mine Did you read the article I linked to? Doctors refused to implement hand-washing after autopsying dead bodies and before attending women in childbirth because they couldnt accept that they had been the ones causing so many needless deaths. This went on for about a hundred years after the proofs were provided. They put the doctor who discovered that handwashing reduced maternal mortality ten-fold in a mental institution. Guess what, Maggie? I understood you I did not need to link to whatever I am a CAM physician, have studied this for many years. I know exactly what happened with Dr. Semmelweis. Believe what YOU want: I DO NOT CONSENT. Truth is stronger than psychologyI do not trick anyone. cheers Guess what. I am 100% sure you misunderstood my comment as well as my stance. Im not arguing with you because you are functionally illiterate and liking your own comments. I will not vaccinate and never have. DOCTORS WHO SUPPORT VACCINATION AND PARENTS WHO HAVE VACCINATED are who I was talking about. Not you. if you are the expert, and I have no reason to doubt your qualificationscan you explain the answer to my question, beyond the traditional normalcy bias? I came from a family of horrendously corrupt law enforcement parents who abused us physically, mentally and emotionally throughout our lives(see my memoir)and I worked all over the world for US DoD for 25 yearstwo decades of which I was a Federally Protected Whistle Blower. I have seen a lot oftruthin my life, and yet I still see the same vast acceptance of the corrupt systems and people that rule over us? How do you explain that phenomenon? Hi, RJ, I am not the expert only someone who has studied the vaccination theory and its effects upon human ( and animal) bodies .. this is the topic .I am sad that many so-called humans accept corruption I do NOT believe that is what the majority of real humans wants or tries to create. Please stay safe. I DO NOT CONSENT. Period. You are free to make your choices. You are free to explain your phenomenayou are free to connect with those like yourself, eh? no, I think you misunderstandI think vaccinations are incredibly dangerous, and I find forced vaccination dangerous to our society, as it tears down our remaining liberties. I was simply interested in your thoughts on why the herd mentality exists and dominates, even though we both believe in the power of truth. RJ We do not misunderstand one anothernobody should submit to vaccination theory. Why there are so many lost?.Beyond my paygrade..just look for those with eyes and hearts and spirits awake..connect to them. (Honestly, there are so many reasons herd/zombie mentality/physicality exists do you really want a lecture? Fake phude, fake AMA drugs, poisons in water, in air, in carpet, in upholstery, in soap, in detergent, etc..the herd has been made very ill.simple, eh?) cheers OK, AGAIN, you misunderstood my comment. The things you are saying make that so so painfully apparent. I hate to challenge your premise, as I too wish it were true.but one has to ask why so much truth exists, yet people refuse to accept it? Take a look at those 3 buildings on 911. Anyone with a working brain can tell they didnt collapsebut were brought down on purpose with explosives. However, it is fifteen years later and still a huge number of people cannot accept the fact that their government has betrayed them. Come on, Vietnam was a lie, Pearl harbor was a lie, Iraq was a lie, Libya was a lieit is all liesyet a huge number of people buy into the lies. If that is not about group psychology and manipulation, Im not sure what is? Its called normalcy bias. There is the normal line of thinking (the same story that the MSM puts out there), and then theres the truth. Even when you understand the truth, in order to speak to other people in their language of understanding you have to speak within the normalcy bias. When you know they understand the truth, then you can speak truth with them openly. autism-related bowel disease. So does this mean theres a link between bowel disease and autism? So could the BT toxins and the glyphosate in RR crops and there effects on the gut, and the MMR vaccine be linked? With the curse of Obama and his healthcare gone, there will be no more edicts that 90% of healthcare workers have to get the flu vaccine, or no federal funding. We are under siege, and our children are being mentally and physically damaged or killed. 
1	In an effort to relieve the stress of the Patriots disappointing 31-34 loss to the Buffalo Bills, New England head coach Bill Belichick reportedly relaxed at home Sunday night by soaking in a bathtub filled with warm entrails. Belichick, who admitted that blowing a 21-point lead over a division rival had left him feeling frustrated, angry, and extremely nervous, said his anxiety over the Patriots struggling with their fundamentals simply melted away the moment he eased his body into a tub brimming with freshly disemboweled internal organs. Immediately after returning from Buffalo, I was feeling fairly disheartened and knew I needed to unwind, so I went straight home, headed down into my sanctum, and filled up the bathtub with bubbling, steaming hot viscera, Belichick said. Theres just something about the scent of gastric acid and the silky feel of intestines between your toes thats so refreshing. It really helps you forget about giving up nine completions of 20 yards or more. Oh, its really hot, added Belichick, describing the moment he first dipped a toe into the torrid innards. Every now and then, it just does me good to remember what it felt like when my body held human life and warmth. Belichick said soaking for more than an hour in entrails provided an excellent diversion from the painful memories of the Patriots secondary missing tackles, the offensive lines atrocious run blocking, and quarterback Tom Brady throwing four interceptions. According to Belichick, deeply breathing in the gamy, earthy reek of recently eviscerated organs was both invigorating and soothing. The 59-year-old coach told reporters that completely immersing himself in bodily fluids transported him to a serene place where the Patriots defense has not allowed more yards than any other team in the NFL this season and where his blackened and decayed soul could take solace. In addition, Belichick created a tranquil environment by lighting several candles made from human tallow and using an aromatherapy diffuser to enjoy the placating vapors of an essential oil extracted from charred flesh. All the problems of the defense just seem to disappear when you inhale the uplifting scent of that burnt skin, Belichick said. The moment I began savoring the delightful odor of scorched muscle tissue, I felt far more relaxed and at peace. It made me realize we can correct mistakes, improve our schemes, play with more focus, and crush opponents until all of their lifeless, broken bodies are scattered facedown on the field, he added. During the relaxing bath, Belichick said he added an extra bucket of hot entrails on several occasions, placed chilled slices of kidney over his fatigued eyes, gently massaged his lower back with a femur, and calmed his nerves by sipping a cup of bile tea. The three-time Super Bowl champion coach also confirmed he reduced the anxiety caused by 93 yards in penalties by listening to his Sounds Of The Rwandan Genocide CD. Belichick said its high-quality recordings of blood-curdling screams and the hoarse pleas of a mother begging for someone to spare her children, as well as its white noise of constant moaning, weeping, and the digging of mass graves, put him in a meditative state. According Belichick, as he sunk below the surface of digestive fluids and opened his eyes, staring up at a gall bladder, small intestine, and spleen bobbing along in the fetid mixture of enzymes, mucus, chyme, blood, and feces, he realized the Patriots have a lot to be optimistic about following the defeat, including Wes Welkers 217 receiving yards and solid pass protection for Tom Brady. Although in recent years he has attempted to relieve the stress of NFL losses by watching game film of opponents injuries, curling up on the couch to peruse favorite passages in his first edition of the Necronomiconwhich is handsomely bound in the skin of stillborn babiesor enjoying a prized collection of human skulls from the Cambodian Civil War, Belichick said nothing was as soothing as bathing in entrails. It just makes me so much morewhole, Belichick said. Now I feel good enough to go enjoy a fire in the crematorium out back, but first I should probably clean up the rest of Devin McCourty. 
3	16 Reasons To Move Away From CaliforniaMichael Snyder, Contributor Plus there is the constant threat that your home could be destroyed by an earthquake, a wildfire or a mudslide. In recent years, hordes of hard working families have decided that they have had enough and have decided to move away from California. In fact, since the year 2000 more than 1.6 million people have moved away from the state of California. There are still a few pockets of the state that are still very beautiful and that have been sheltered from the economic nightmare that is sweeping the rest of the state. Without a doubt, the California Dream has now become a California Nightmare for most residents of the state. Do you live in California? If so, perhaps now is the time to move. The following are 16 really good reasons to move away from California. #1 California Is Run By Elitist Control Freaks That Have No Common Sense At All There are many more examples of this control freak mentality. As I wrote about recently, one California town is actually considering making it illegal to smoke in your own backyard. #2 California Is A Horrible Place To Do Business #3 The California Economy Is A Gigantic Mess #4 Municipalities All Over California Are Going Broke And Will Soon Need To Raise Taxes Substantially Just To Survive But as bad as Stockton is doing, the truth is that Orange County may be in even worse shape. The following is from a recent article by Chriss Street. At this point, the Orange County Employees Retirement System is estimated to have a 10 billion dollar unfunded pension liability. How does a single county dig a 10 billion dollar hole? #5 Desperate Municipalities Are Severely Slashing Government Services All Over The State In Oakland things got so bad that the police chief announced at one point that his department would no longer respond to certain crimes. The list of crimes included grand theft, burglary, car wrecks, identity theft and vandalism. Today, Oakland is considered the 5th most violent city in the United States. In Stockton the budget cuts got so bad that the police union put up a billboard at one point with the #6 The State Government In Sacramento Is Flat Broke California taxpayers should realize that it is only a matter of time before lawmakers try to hit them with more tax increases of one form or another. #7 California Has Some Of The Highest Tax Rates In The Nation Unfortunately, it is only a matter of time before the politicians come around for even more. #8 Poverty Is Absolutely Exploding In California #9 Epidemic Of Crime And Gang Violence Fortunately the gentleman in that story was not there when his home was broken into. Thieves are becoming bolder and bolder and many home invasions happen whether there are occupants in the home or not. The following home invasion story from Sacramento, California was sent to me by one of my readers a while back. Who does that kind of thing? Unfortunately, when people get desperate they tend to throw out the normal rules that most of us live by. Every state has crime, but things are getting particularly bad in California. A reader that works in law enforcement down in the Los Angeles area left the following comment on a recent article. I work in law enforcement in LA (I fortunately dont live there). LA is a third world country, trash everywhere, graffiti, gangs (mostly Hispanic). Im sick of illegals primarily Mexicans (Im American of Mexican descent). These liberal politicians will not stop aid to illegals which costs this state 21 billion dollars a year, which is about the same as our current deficit. I earn a pretty decent income and my wife has a meager salary, but it seems to get more and more difficult to earn a living in this state. If I can make it to retirement, Im probably going to leave this state. Another reader identified as Rob left the following comment. #10 As Poverty And Crime Grow Many California Cities Are Being Transformed Into Hellholes There are some parts of large California cities that are an absolute nightmare. For example, there is an area of San Francisco that is known as Hunters Point that is so run down that it is hard to believe that people actually live there. The following is what one reporter discovered on a visit to Hunters Point. But it is not just the big cities that are being transformed into hellholes. The following is how Victor Davis Hansen described what he experienced during his tour of the forgotten areas of central California. #11 California Has Some Of The Worst Schools In The Nation #12 Political Correctness Runs Rampant In California #13 California Does Not Respect The Rights Of Parents #14 California Has One Of The Worst Health Care Systems In America #15 California The Land Of The Lawsuits #16 The Big One Could Hit California At Any Time So what do you think? What advice would you give to someone considering whether or not to move away from California? Feel free to post a comment with your thoughts below. 
2	Louisiana Gov. Just Released THIS Very Bad News For All Muslim Refugees On Monday, President Obama defended his ludicrous plan to allow 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United States in the next year. This comes at a time when France was just attacked by Islamic extremists, one of whom used a Syrian passport to enter the country. Still, the president insists on putting our country at risk in an attempt to be politically correct. Slamming the door in their faces would be a betrayal of our values, Obama claimed. Now, Governor Bobby Jindal is speaking out against Obama and his plan, claiming that he has ideas of his own for Louisiana. Read his post below and tell us what you think: I just signed an Executive Order instructing state agencies to take all available steps to stop the relocation of Syrian refugees to Louisiana. The Obama administration continues to fail to provide critical information to state government or local authorities and has intentionally kept our state in the dark about their irresponsible refugee relocation plans. This is a matter of national security and a matter of Louisianas security. I will do everything in my power to stop this from happening. 
3	End Military Draft Registration to Cut Wasteful Spending, Say Congressmenselfnews Post Congressmen Peter DeFazio (D-Ore) and Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Colo) say that it makes no sense to maintain the Selective Service System when the Pentagon has no interest in returning to conscription due to the success of the all-volunteer force. They said that the government is wasting millions of dollars each year to maintain this database preparing for the possibility of a military draft that is highly unlikely. According to theAssociated Press: This proposal to end draft registrations comes just one week after Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) proposed reinstating the draft to include all women. Now that women can serve in combat they should register for the Selective Service alongside their male counterparts, said Rangel in a statement. Reinstating the draft and requiring women to register for the Selective Service would compel the American public to have a stake in the wars we fight as a nation. Obviously, returning to conscriptionand expanding Selective Service to all women aged 18-25 would dramatically increase these costs. There is no one who wants this (draft registration) except chicken hawk members of Congress, DeFazio told the Associated Press. Read other articles by selfnews Post Here 
2	Hollywood Star John Voight Reveals His Presidential Pick... Fans Shocked According to a new report from Breitbart News, Jon Voight has just given an enthusiastic endorsement to GOP frontrunner and presidential hopeful Donald Trump. Im not someone whos saying hes the best of this group, Im saying I like Trump, Voight revealed in an interview with conservative news network. Hes the answer to our problems, Voight continued. We need to get behind him. The Republicans need to unite behind this man. We need somebody to go in and reconstruct us in a sort of way, get us back to where we were, who we need to be. For more about what Voight has to say, read his exclusive statement to Breitbart News below: I, Jon Voight, can say, without hesitation, that Donald is funny, playful, and colorful, but most of all, he is honest. When he decided to run for president, I know he did it with a true conviction to bring this country back to prosperity. He is the only one who can do it. No frills, no fuss, only candid truths. There are many Republicans fighting to keep him from winning the Republican nomination. You know why? Because he has no bull to sell, and everyone will discover the bull most politicians spew out is for their own causes and benefits. They never dreamed they would be losing control. I am very disappointed at the talk show hosts, also spewing out lies and propaganda against Donald. Why, I wonder? The only thing I can think of is he represents a form of freedom none of them ever saw before, and they are bewildered about it, and frightened about it. I pray all Americans who have seen and felt the meltdown of America with the Obama years, to please fight for Donald Trump. He will not let us down. I pray for all good people to see clearly what faces us now. The right vote will save our nation. 
1	Over the course of its 24-year history, Kilty's Kourt, a Tulsa-area trailer park, has shattered no stereotypes, causing no one to rethink any preconceptions about its coarse, poorly educated residents. The non-stereotype-defying Kilty's Kourt trailer park in Tulsa, OK. 'Very often, one forms a set of preconceived notions about a type of person based on generalizations, but then a closer examination of the individuals within the situation allows one to look beyond these stereotypes,' said University of Oklahoma sociologist Dr. Terry Atkins, who recently completed an in-depth three-year study of the trailer park. 'Such is not the case here, though: Kilty's Kourt is pretty much a depressing, disgusting place filled with total losers.' Atkins had intended the study to challenge unfair, negative images of mobile-home dwellers by collecting statistical data that contradicts commonly held misconceptions. The professor's findings, however, only affirmed popular conceptions, with unemployment, sexual promiscuity and lack of education the norm among residents. Affirming widely held assumptions about trailer parks, Kilty's Kourt is little more than a muddy field filled with mobile homes in various states of disrepair. The blighted park is littered with rusted cars up on blocks, half-attached screen doors, makeshift clotheslines with laundry hanging untouched for weeks, and toppled TV antennas. Nor do the park's inhabitantsobese women who take notice of their filthy, pantsless children only long enough to scream at them; skinny, shirtless men who stink of McCormick vodka most of the day; a cadre of Ku Klux Klan sympathizers; and a sprinkling of clinically insane veteransshatter any myths. 'Based on all the stories I'd heard about trailer-park types, I expected to see the lowest of the low, people I wouldn't even want to look at, much less talk to,' Atkins said. 'I pretty much hit the nail right on the head.' Atkins said he had also hoped that the study would give him a greater understanding of those who occupy a lower socioeconomic strata than himself, and vice-versa. 'This project, in theory, afforded an upper-middle-class academic like myself the opportunity to build bridges with those of a culturally dissimilar background, enabling both me and them to gain a greater understanding and appreciation of the other's unique perspectives and experiences,' he said. 'Nope. Didn't happen. I did, however, have a lot of empty bottles thrown at me through missing windows.' On his final day at Kilty's Kourt, Atkins was called 'a fucking dead man' by one barefoot resident, threatened with a swinging hair dryer, and warned that he had 'better stay away from White Jimmy's bitch.' 'They live like pigs,' Atkins said. 'Foul-mouthed, degenerate pigs.' Members of the Tulsa Police Department may know Kilty's Kourt best of all, as they are called to the four-block area 20 to 30 times a week. 'Just because a person isn't made of money doesn't mean they can't live their life with self-respect, gaining satisfaction and joy from simple things like the smile on a child's face, the beauty of a song, or the love of neighbors and friends,' Tulsa police officer Joseph Lindgren said. 'Unfortunately, no one like that lives in this place.' 'I once heard this joke about a white-trash mother, something about her four-year-old still breast-feeding,' Lindgren continued. 'I thought, 'That so-called 'humor' is just an offensive, discriminatory stereotype.' That was before I met Rhonda in 22.' The most common charges, which Lindgren called 'more or less right in line with what everyone would expect from people in a place like this,' are drunken and disorderly conduct, wife battery, drug possession, illegal possession of a firearm and child neglect. 'Just last night, the woman in 32 hit the guy in 18 over the head with a shovel and knocked him clean out,' Lindgren said. 'We had to haul both of them in.' 'What a shithole,' he added. 
1	A new 400-page report released Monday by the Pew Research Center confirmed that everyoneabsolutely everyoneother than you is starting new, exciting phases of their lives and careers. Our results indicate that those around you are all turning a new leaf, moving forward to face a fresh challenge, and embarking on periods of immense personal and professional growth, while you on the other hand are in a phase of total stagnation, if not regression, said head researcher Dr. James Messemer, adding that the data also suggests that everyone sees the clear contrast between those who are really blossoming by moving on to meet a new opportunity and you, an individual perceived as being stuck in a rut, left behind, or simply someone who has already reached their potential. Our study proves that, unlike yourself, all of your peers are enriching themselves by experiencing the triumphs and failures associated with any new personal journey, a journey that will ultimately be looked back upon as the most fulfilling part of these individuals lives.

3	FBI Raids Home of Dangerous Doomsday Prepper: Agents Find Legally Owned Firearms, Barrels of FoodMac Slavo Police went so far as to suggest that Winters had essentially gone off the reservation and that he didnt care whether he lived or died, and that he was plotting a confrontation with the federal government. But the claims and allegations may have been blown way out of proportion. After police obtained a warrant to search Winters home based on information obtained from a confidential informant they were probably surprised that not only did Winters have no explosive booby troops set up all over his property as had been claimed, he was also far short of having possession of the fifty high-powered rifles that police said he had been stockpiling. Federal agents this week searched the Florida home of a doomsday prepper they alleged had stockpiled over 50 high-powered assault rifles and several explosive devices buried around his property as booby traps. However the warrant showed up little more than barrels of food. [] But in federal court on Wednesday, Winters defense attorney, Ellis Faught, said the confidential informants estimates were wide of the mark. The informant had bought four so-called destructive devices from Winters, but they were not buried as booby traps. Five guns were found locked in a safe, according to10 News. [] None of this was there, Fraught told the court, the station reported. And its my understanding that no guns were dug up. It was alleged by the government that there were 50 to 60 guns and Im only aware of five of them that were found and they were found in his house in a safe. Source: Daily Mail While Martin Winters political ideology and interests may differ from those of most Americans, the government had tried him in a public court before any evidence had been presented or found. Some of his neighbors were terrified of this crazy individual after they had been told of his alleged crimes, and the mainstream media was happy to oblige the narrative that this right-wing survivalist extremist was a danger to himself and society. The FBI issued the following photo to its media surrogates during the manhunt in an effort to depict Winters as a survivalist who had gone off the deep end: I think they took the whole context of him being prepared and twisted it, says his daughter Tracy. Senator Rand Paul warned Americans about this growing trend of demonizing innocent Americans in a speech he delivered to Congress three years ago in opposition to the National Defense Authorization Act noting that those who dont subscribe to the status quo could be branded as extremists and terrorists. Pauls prediction couldnt have been more accurate, especially considering the manhunt and circumstances surrounding the ordeal with Martin Winters: There are laws on the books now that characterize who might be a terrorist. Someone missing fingers on their hands is a suspect according to the Department of Justice. Someone who has guns, someone who has ammunition that is weatherproofed, someone who has more than seven days of food in their house can be considered a potential terrorist. If you are suspected by these activities do you want the government to have the ability to send you to Guantanamo Bay for indefinite detention? I suspect, were not talking about someone who has been tried or found guilty. Were talking about someone suspected of activities. We have, unfortunately, reached a point in America where talking about ideas that dont go along with mainstream thought has become suspicious activity, and those engaging in it are now identified as extremists or persons of interest. With the surveillance state rapidly expanding its capabilities to monitor conversations and interactions with those around us, it has become more important now than ever before to keep our personal activities as private as possible. Today Martin Winters is a domestic terrorist. Tomorrow it might be you. You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com, where this first appeared.

1	Poul VanDerVoort, president of the Dutch Anti-Defamation League of America, announced Monday that his civil rights organization is closing due to a severe lack of defamation against the Dutch. 'I guess we did a good job,' VanDerVoort told reporters. 'This past year there was not a single ethnically motivated crime committed against a person of Dutch descent.' Despite a vigilant, constant effort to locate anti-Dutch sentiment, prosecute offenders and initiate a healing process, the league has found no such crises anywhere in the nation throughout its 18-year history. 'A couple of months ago we thought someone had been fired from his job for being Dutch,' VanDerVoort said. 'But we investigated, and it turned out he was showing up drunk.'

1	According to waitstaff sources at Martha's Caf on Garland Avenue, the restaurant is getting absolutely slammed right now, a turn of events that occurred without any warning or logic, and reportedly shows no signs of letting up. 'This is insane,' said waitress Clarissa Oakman, 24, as she filled an empty tray with water glasses. 'Seriously, Tuesdays are never like this, ever. This is insane.' Added Oakman, 'I just looked over at Kim [Hassett], and she gave me this look, like, 'What the fuck?'' Staff members confirmed that around 8:45 p.m., they watched in increasing alarm as three parties of four and a party of six entered the eatery in rapid succession, followed by five more customers at 8:47 and another party of four at 8:52. Since that time, sources claimed, three more customers have also sat down to eat, a development that has left employees in a frantic state and with few options for dealing with this shit. Assistant manager Ben Frosher told reporters that the staff was entirely unprepared for such a sudden and large crowd of customers, noting that they now regret allowing line cook Nate Bloomberg to go home early. 'Man, we could really use [Nate] right now,' said Frosher, who was in the office doing paperwork when the unexpected rush began. 'And then Pete called in sick again. Of course.' Any hope of maintaining a 'normal' evening shift was now out of the question, Frosher said, and although hostess Laurie Gilbert was supposed to clock out in 10 minutes, that was 'definitely not happening.' 'If [manager] Ron [Bergmot] wants to get on my case about the extra hours, fine,' Frosher said. 'He's not here. He's not seeing what we have to deal with.' Kitchen sources claimed that line cook Jim Zwieck has been hit the hardest by the out-of-nowhere crowd of hungry customers. Zwieck is said to be alone in the kitchen with as many as five backed-up orders, and has reportedly not taken a cigarette break since 15 minutes before the first batch of dinner-rush tickets started to come in. 'Jim's in the weeds right now,' Frosher said. 'I wish I could help him, but I've got to go to the basement to get ice, change out the tanks for the soda machine, and then try to do some of these dishes, or else we're going to run out of clean bowls.' Frosher also admitted to being a little afraid of Zwieck. Multiple theories for the unexpected slamming have been brought forward, including the end of some kind of sporting event, a big public rally or gathering happening nearby, sheer happenstance, and the fact that it's a nice night. According to Frosher, Martha's Caf employees will likely only be able to do the bare minimum of their usual next-day prep duties, or else be stuck in the restaurant for up to two hours after closing. 'If I have to, I'll just write a note saying things got crazy,' said Frosher, ignoring the phone that has been ringing off and on for the past five minutes. 'They can't expect us to do all this extra work after closing. That's ridiculous.' As of press time, Martha's Caf has run out of the chipotle-barley soup and the vegetarian chili, the self-bussing station has dirty dishes and glasses piled up to dangerously high levels, and an eight top has just walked in through the door. 
2	See How Dish Network Got Humiliated After Dropping Fox News The public dispute between DISH Network and Fox News has been making headlines for weeks now, and many Americans were curious as to what would happen to the number one news channel after making being dropped from the network. As suspected, it seems that the decision to drop Fox has done more harm than good for DISH. Just one month after being dropped from the network, 90,000 subscribers have left DISH network. And nearly 350,000 existing or previous DISH customers emailed them in protest of their decision. It is unfortunate that the millions of Fox News viewers on DISH were used as pawns by their provider, concluded Fox News Executive Vice President Tim Carry. Hopefully they will vote with their hard-earned money and seek another one of our valued distributors immediately. According to Carry, the network has since made very little effort to amend the relationship. There has not been outreach on any level, Carry told the public. Their positioning that they are actively negotiating rings hollow. What do you think? Do you support Fox News over DISH? 
2	Michelle Obama Tried To Challenge Mrs. Trump... Heres What Happened When Donald Trump first announced his decision to run for president, he was not taken seriously. That tune is changing, however, now that he has been named President-elect of the United States. Now, Americans are picturing what our country would look like with the Trumps in the White House. And that includes what it would mean to see Melania Trump as First Lady. Michelle Obama has repeatedly called out the entire Trump family for not possessing the credentials, experience, and temperament to serve as first family in the White House. She and Obama have even gone as far to campaign against the family, calling them unfit to serve at multiple rallies. Melania was born in Solvenia and met trump in the 1990s. She married trump in 2005, and gave birth to their first son Barron William Trump one year later. The media has done what they can to paint Melania as a dumb model. But the beautiful woman actually has a degree in design and architecture from the University of Ljubljana. After ending her modeling career, she entered into the world of business. What do you think? Would Melania make a way better First Lady than Michelle?

3	Leaked US Kill List Is Way Bigger Than We Thought, Includes Suspected Drug DealersBy TYT 
2	Pence Just Something Nobody Dared To Do To Hillary... GO GO GO! According to recent reports, Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence just spoke to Breitbart news about Hillary Clinton, calling her out for her email scandals and many lies to the American public. Pence commented that it was time for Clinton to come clean with Americans and shut down the Clinton Foundation. Hillary Clinton has to come out of hiding and start answering questions the American people deserve answers to, he concluded. Its really quite a contrastClinton has been hiding, and Trump is everywhere. Pences comments come after leaked emails from Huma Abedin showed her working with the Clinton Foundations Doug Bend to set up a meeting between Clinton and a top Clinton Foundation donor. The public also learned that the FBI discovered 15,000 previously undisclosed emails that Hillary Clinton hid from the public and the government. Pence also commented on Hillarys decision to blame Colin Powell for her decision to use a private server in the first place. Colin Powell is a man of unimpeachable integrity and Hillary Clintons efforts to blame Colin Powell for her decision to have a private server and use a private email account, its very offensive to those of us who hold him in high regard and respect his enormous contributions to this nation, Pence commented. I think Hillary Clinton has to stand before the media and the American people and answer questions about the relationship between foreign and corporate donors to the Clinton Foundation and her actions as Secretary of State, Pence argued. It is breathtaking that the Clintons have now announced she will no longer accept corporate and foreign donations if she is elected President of the United States. Thats too little too late. It is remarkable that they now acknowledge that if she becomes president that contributions from corporate and foreign donors to the Clinton Foundation would represent a conflict of interest, when apparently they think that didnt represent a conflict of interest when she was Secretary of State. What do you think of Pences comments? Do you agree? 
2	World Leader Leaves Obama Speechless, White House In Panic Mode Recently, Forbes released their annual list of the worlds most influential people. Vladimir Putin almost tops the list, clearly placing Obama under him. We cant say we are entirely surprised. First and foremost, Putins New Years resolution this year was to completely eliminate terrorism. Meanwhile, it was discovered that Obama had provided aid to terrorists, before making the forced choice to fight them. This is just one sign of many that Obama is losing his influence over global affairs. In third place was Chinas unelected leader Xi Jinpint, and in fourth was Pope Francis. New to the list was State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of one of the worlds most brutal terrorist organization. What do you think of the list? Should Obama have made it all? 
3	Confirmed: Lobbyists Calling the Shots for SB277; Community Outpour IgnoredBy Jefferey Jaxen After passing the Sacramento Health Committee vote, the bill was delayed as committee chair Senator Carol Liu wisely told the bills author Richard Pan If I were you, I would not take a vote today. At the conclusion of the vote, Liu asked Senator Pan point blank how he wanted to proceed. To this, Pan, appearing to have no power to make the decision, turned to lobbyists Jodi Hicks and Janus Norman for advice. It is telling that, here, the authors Senator Pan and Ben Allen appear to be told what to do and how to do it. Pan is making his decisions based not on the thousands of families that showed up in protest, but from lobbyists. When Richard Pan turns to Hicks and Norman for his orders, it becomes clear that these individuals are the ones behind senate bill 277. Hicks currently is a founding member of the independent Sacramento lobbying firm DiMare, Brown, Hicks, and Kessler (DBHK). She is also the former chief lobbyist of the California Medical Association (CMA) who Pan, under her direction, was an active member as a lobbyist for doctors before becoming Senator. The CMA makes no secret about their stance on vaccinations having launched community immunity recently pushing for more vaccinated adults. During Pans 2014 campaign for Senate, many of his promotional ads featured Hickss daughter Seneca in them. The other lobbyist behind the bill is Janus Norman who currently serves as chief lobbyist for the CMA. Also making an appearance were many of Senator Pans 2014 campaign contributors who were among the 53 who voiced support for the bill during the Senate Educational Committee hearing. Representatives from Biocom, Classified Employees of California School Employees, The California Association of Family Physicians, American Academy of Pediatrics and others went on record as in favor of SB277. A last-minute switch was also made before this Wednesdays vote seeing Senator Huff, who voted no on SB277 replaced with Senator Sharon Runner. Also, Senator Bill Monning was added who already voted yes on SB277 at the 6 2 Health Committee vote previously. Jefferey Jaxen is an independent journalist, writer, and researcher.

2	California Muslim Threatens Donald Trumps Life, Then THIS Happens When 23-year-old Emadeldin Elsayed made claims that he intended to kill GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, he probably didnt see this coming. I am willing to kill Donald Trump and serve a life sentence, Elsayed wrote on his Facebook page, according to his attorney Hani Bushra. The whole world would thank me for doing that. He was arrested shortly thereafter, on February 12 at the Los Angeles area flight school he was attending. Federal agents maintain that his post qualifies as a death threat. Authorities did not file any criminal charges against Elsayed, but an immigration judge ordered that he be deported on grounds that the flight school had terminated his enrollment. As such, his student visa was no longer valid. The judge also refused to release Elsayed on bail, given that prosecutors argued he posed a flight risk. A hearing on the deportation proceedings is schedule for later this week. At this point, all Elsayed is asking for is time to get his affairs together before leaving the country. 
3	Drone Wars: Unmanned Warrior 2016 Drills Set For October Off Scottish CoastBy Nicholas West It is thought that the number of countries now possessing surveillance drones has topped 90, with more than 20 countries having weaponized drones. As more systems come on line, naturally the capabilities of those already in the race will need upgrading along the way. This is leading to a drone war scenario that experts continue to warn about. Moreover, the rise of Artificial Intelligence as part of the future battlefield could lead to computer systems completely breaking away from human control. The latest push to integrate drones onto the battlefield and prepare for a possible future where drone meets drone, sans humans, comes from Great Britains Royal Navy. The Mirror reports that a large-scale drill will commence in October off the Scottish coast. It has been dubbed Unmanned Warrior 2016 and is to include a range of robotic craft in sea and sky, and on land. While it is being downplayed as a place for defense contractors to market or solicit their wares, it is made clear that it is a demonstration of current capabilities and a projection for what might be required in the future. And of course tech firms (and allies) are welcome to take part. The Navy hopes the exercise will demonstrate British innovation and shine a spotlight on British industry in a tactically relevant environment. It has invited the manufacturing firms behind the state-of-the-art weapons as well as NATO member countries to take part in the realistic work-out. . In January, Commander Peter Pipkin, the Navys Fleet Robotics Officer, told a conference in Portsmouth how the robot wars exercise was not a bidding process. Instead, what we are seeking to achieve is an event that re-shapes the market to provide new opportunities for everybody and shows UK industry advancement in this area, he said. This drill is actually part of a much larger one that is held twice per year Exercise Joint Warrior the largest military exercise in Europe. The integration of unmanned war machines would seem to indicate the clear direction for the future battlefield. In actuality, the future was well planned out long ago for just this type of scenario. Regular readers might recall a combat system called MUSIC that was brought to light in 2011. It was to be a fusion of multiple unmanned platforms slated to extend across the different branches of the U.S. military essentially playing a concert of war between the aerial, ground and sea-based drones of the Army, Air Force, Marines, and Navy: Not only is MUSIC helping shape the future of CAB units and the Army but its creating connections across joint boundaries to include the Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps, said Maj. Gen. William T. Crosby, the Program Executive Office, Aviation. Once again, we see that U.S. systems have been acknowledged as the spur for other countries (even allies) to achieve the best level of dominance that they can. And, as you will hear in the video below, this particular genie is never going back in the bottle at least if the militaries of the world continue to extract outrageous levels of funding for their toys. It appears that we are indeed swiftly heading toward a future where drones will network with one another through sea, sky and land initiating war and defending against it. The only question that remains is for how much longer humans will remain part of that architecture. Hat Tip: ZenGardner.com Image Credit Nicholas West writes for selfnewsPost.com.

1	In a town where residents are still in shock over last Sunday's brutal mass slaying, in which a mentally disturbed man shot 17 men, women, and children in Main Street's St. John The Baptist Church before turning his shotgun on himself, last night's County League baseball game against longtime rival Uniontown was completely ineffective in mending the hurt and despair felt by those in the area. According to those in attendance, even after the supposed natural healing powers of pitches, hits, stolen bases, ground balls, and bunts, the shootingthe first in Mill Run in over 10 years and easily the most deadly criminal incident in Mill Run's history remained fresh and raw in the town's collective consciousness. Mill Run lost the game 7-4, though many at the game say they were still in shock over the shooting and were therefore not aware of the final score. 'I still miss my brother and my sister-in-law,' still-shaken hardware store owner John Geary said after the ultimately non-therapeutic sporting event. 'God, I miss them so much. Even that double by Josh [Thurman] in the fifth [inning] really didn't make me feel any better about some madman shooting them. In fact, I felt worse, because for the brief second I cheered, I almost forgot that I'll never see Randy and Melissa again, that Father Corrigan isn't supposed to ever regain consciousness, and that some of the children in this community are now parentless.' 'Cheering for a stupid double in a stupid baseball game after everything that happened,' Geary added. 'What kind of idiot am I? Why did they even play this game?' Mill Run mayor Frank Shultz said the game was not canceled due to his mistaken belief in the 'healing power of sports' to 'make everything better.' 'Obviously, I couldn't have been more wrong,' Shultz, who doesn't plan on attending another sporting event for a long time, told reporters after the game. 'And I officially apologize to all the citizens, who need professional help, spiritual guidance, and each other's love and company far more than they needed a stupid baseball game.' 'Everyone wants everything to go back to the way it was, but seeing as how a man killed 17 people in our church and then shot himself, I think I would much rather admit that things are completely abnormal at the moment than pretend that I care if we make the playoffs,' said resident Diane Ward, 47, who said her shock and grief were in no way blunted by a crisply executed double play in the seventh inning. Locals reportedly watched in shocked silence throughout the entire game, rarely reacting to the play on the field, and never with much enthusiasm. No one interviewed afterwards believed that the sight of the team taking the field was symbolic of the town's will to 'continue on,' took any solace whatsoever in the collective singing of the national anthem, or thought the moment of silence before the game's first pitch was 'moving,' considering that it occurred at the trivial and relatively unimportant site of Town Baseball Field #5 and not a more dignified location. In fact, attendees said, at no point did anyone suffering from the pain and despair created by the massive murder-suicide, a tragedy that will forever alter this town's way of life, feel any less miserable because of the nine-inning baseball game. 'It's just baseball,' said Tracey Wallace, 11, who lost both parents and her older brother in the slaying and reportedly had to be sedated to stop her convulsive sobbing after she was asked if she would like to throw out a 'healing' first pitch. 'Not Daddy alive again. Not Mommy back. Just baseball.' The baseball game's inability to heal the town came as a shock to many in the sports and sports-entertainment media. According to every single ESPN correspondent, Sports Illustrated editor, and every nationally known sports columnist, over the last six years the spectacle of sports has invariably allowed individuals, communities, and entire nations to almost instantly heal, and in some cases, apparently skip altogether the normal years-long grieving process that accompanies a monumental tragedy. 'I don't know what's wrong with these people,' Daily News columnist Mike Lupica said on Sunday's edition of ESPN's The Sports Reporters. 'Maybe they just didn't understand what was supposed to happen. First, the group experience of watching the game was supposed to show the town how strong they were/are as a community. Second, with that newfound strength, it was their role to realize they could overcome any type of tragedy as long as they have one another. Third, while the game was going on, if they observed anything positive from the home teama clutch hit, a home run, or a well-fielded ground ballit was the duty of those in attendance to have the epiphany that their deceased loved ones were watching from above, cheering them on from heaven, and that everyone on Earth could and should now move on.' 'And most of all, those in attendance would leave the game completely healed so that everyone could see how beautiful it was that, with the aid of the eternal magic of baseball, this town was capable of healing,' Lupica added. 'Mill Run screwed that one up. I think these people are letting this whole church murder thing get in the way of what's really important.' Mill Run resident Tommy Shroyer, who was in the church at the time of the shooting, disagreed with Lupica, saying, 'Believe me, I didn't feel that anybody was watching us from above. I felt really sad, like I was doing something stupid, because if they were watching they were probably wondering what the fuck we were doing at a baseball game.' According to Denver Post sports columnist Woody Paige, the area doesn't need time to reflect upon the tragedy. 'These sad sacks simply need more sports,' Paige wrote in a piece that received over 500 positive e-mails from fans nationwide in less then two hours. 'I recommend the town's mayor get his town healed by adding 20 more County League baseball games, moving up the start date of the high-school football season, and bringing players from the Pittsburgh Steelers into the school gymnasium to play a fun and heartwarming game of mandatory celebrity donkey basketball. Sports is going to heal these people whether they want it to or not.'

3	Are You Better Off This Thanksgiving Than You Were Last Thanksgiving?Michael Snyder According to a shocking new report that was just released by the National Center on Family Homelessness, the number of homeless children in the U.S. has reached a new all-time high of 2.5 million. And right nowone out of every seven Americans rely on food banks to put food on the table. Yes, life is very good at the moment for Americans at the top end of the income spectrum. The stock market has been soaring and sales of homes worth at last a million dollars are up 16 percent so far this year. But most Americans live in a very different world. The percentage of Americans that are employed is about the same as it was during the depths of the last recession, the quality of our jobs continues to go down, the rate of homeownership in America has fallen for seven years in a row, and the cost of living is rising much faster than paychecks are. As a result, the middle class is smaller this Thanksgiving than it was last Thanksgiving, and most Americans have seen their standards of living go down over the past year. In 2014, there are tens of millions of Americans that are anonymously leading lives of quiet desperation. They are desperately trying to hold on even though things just keep getting worse. For example, just consider the plight of 49-year-old Darrell Eberhardt. Once upon a time, his job in a Chevy factory paid him $18.50 an hour, but now he only makes$10.50 an hour and he knows that he probably would not be able to make as much in a new job if he decided to leave For nearly 20 years, Darrell Eberhardt worked in an Ohio factory putting together wheelchairs, earning $18.50 an hour, enough to gain a toehold in the middle class and feel respected at work. He is still working with his hands, assembling seats for Chevrolet Cruze cars at the Camaco auto parts factory in Lorain, Ohio, but now he makes $10.50 an hour and is barely hanging on. Id like to earn more, said Mr. Eberhardt, who is 49 and went back to school a few years ago to earn an associates degree. But the chances of finding something like I used to have are slim to none. Of course you cant support a family on $10.50 an hour. You can barely support one person on $10.50 an hour. But there are many men out there that would absolutely love to switch positions with Darrell Eberhardt. At this point,one out of every six men in their prime working years (25 to 54) does not have a job. That is an absolutely crazy number. And of course just because you have a job does not mean that things are going well. The number of Americans that are working part-time involuntarily has risen by over 50 percent since the beginning of the last recession. There are millions of hard working Americans that would love to get a full-time job if they could land one. But these days decent jobs are in short supply. For example,CNN recently profiled the story of college graduate Meghan Brachle Meghan would love to be a music teacher or play full-time in an orchestra. She studied music at Loyola University in New Orleans and plays the flute. Instead, Meghan works a slew of part-time jobs and receives no benefits. She is a cashier at Whole Foods, a substitute teacher, a flute tutor and an administrative assistant at a non-profit. Even with all of her hard work, Brachle and her husband often really struggle to pay the bills With inconsistent hours, Meghan monthly income fluctuates between $1,000 and $3,000. Even with her husbands teaching salary, the couple sometimes struggles to cover the $3,600 of monthly expenses they have. Its very stressful, Meghan, a college graduate, says. I think about all the job applications Ive turned in and all the interviews Ive been on and all the other people who are in the same situation, looking for those same [full-time] jobs. Its frustrating. Sadly, a lot of these part-time employers know that their employees desperately need these jobs and are using that leverage to treat them very poorly. For example, it is being reported that any KMart employees that do not show up for work on Thanksgiving will be automatically fired. What kind of nonsense is that? And around the country at Wal-Mart stores, food drives are being held for needy employees. So why wouldnt Wal-Mart just pay their workers enough so that they could afford to take care of themselves in the first place? Most people dont realize this, but approximately one out of every four part-time workers in America is currently living below the poverty line. Many of them are working as hard as they can and still cant make enough to take care of themselves. Meanwhile, our paychecks are getting stretched further and further with each passing month. When you dont make much money, every dollar is precious. And when food prices go up substantially, it can be very painful. Unfortunately, that is precisely what is happening right now -From September to October, the price of a pound of Turkey rose from $1.58 to $1.66. That represents a 5.2 percent price increase in just one month. -The price of a pound of ground beef has just risen to a brand new record high of $4.15 a pound, and more price increases are on the way. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is projecting that U.S. beef production will drop by another 1billion pounds next year due to a variety of factors including the horrific multi-year drought out west. -The entire planet is bracing for a huge chocolate shortage, and this threatens to push the price of chocolate beyond the reach of many American families Start hoarding those Hersheys Kisses and stockpile your Snickers: The world could soon experience a chocolate shortage. Mars Inc. and Barry Callebaut, two of the worlds largest chocolate makers, say thats the path were headed down. They cite a perfect storm of factors: Less cocoa is being produced as more and more people are devouring chocolate. In 2013, consumers ate about 70,000 metric tons more cocoa than was produced, The Washington Post reports, and that deficit could go up to 1 million metric tons by 2020. The Ivory Coast and Ghana produce more than 70 percent of the worlds cacao beans, and both countries are experiencing dry weather that limits growth. To make things worse, a fungal disease called frosty pod has destroyed 30 to 40 percent of global cocoa production. As a result of all of the things that I have just discussed above, more Americans than ever are being forced to turn to the government for assistance. Today, the number of Americans getting a check from the government each month is at an all-time high, and at this point Americans collectively get more money from the government than they pay in taxes. For much, much more on this, please see my recent article entitled 21 Facts That Prove That Dependence On The Government Is Out Of Control In America. So if things are going well for you this Thanksgiving, you should be truly thankful. For most of the country, things just continue to get even worse. And if the next major wave of our economic crisis arrives next year like many are projecting, this may just be the beginning of our economic pain.

1	Calling it disrespectful and totally disgusting, members of the Chicago Bulls expressed their frustration to reporters Wednesday over point guard Derrick Roses habit of always leaving his torn ligaments strewn all over their locker room. Every time I walk in here after practice or a game, I see Derricks shredded MCLs and ACLs just lying on the floor, and its ridiculous, said small forward Jimmy Butler, who added that he and his teammates have repeatedly implored Rose to clean up the wet, tattered bands of connective tissue that he regularly leaves sitting in puddles of synovial fluid around nearby lockers. Not only is it gross, but yesterday Pau [Gasol] threw out one that he almost slipped on in the bathroom. Theyre Derricks ligaments, so we shouldnt have to pick up after him like this. Were sick of it. Butler added that he and his teammates have also spoken to Rose about his chunks of knee cartilage that routinely clog the facilitys shower drains. 
1	Nina Meyer, a young, strong-willed exotic dancer at the Klassy Dolls Gentleman's Club, informed patrons Monday that she only plans to perform nude for as long as it takes to get through the remainder of her existence on earth. 'Look, I'm not gonna be a stripper forever,' Meyer said while administering one more in an endless series of lapdances. 'You better believe I'll be out of here the minute I either die or become so old that no man will pay to see me naked.' 'I've got dreams a lot bigger than this dump,' Meyer continued. 'I'm only doing this because there's no way I'll ever come close to achieving those dreams.' Meyer, 24, accepted her current position three months ago to 'pick up a little extra cash' for food, clothing, and shelter. She told reporters that stripping allows her the freedom to barely chip away at her enormous debt while still being able to save absolutely nothing for the future. 'The hours are flexible, and the money's pretty good for a girl trying to pay for the basic necessities required to continue breathing,' Meyer said. 'Trust me, I know better than anyone how demeaning this job can be, but I also know it's just a means to an end.' 'Specifically, the end of my fleeting youth and my ability to trust anyone ever again,' Meyer added. Though Meyer has to contend with constant harassment from her disgusting boss, and borderline sexual assault from drunken or obsessed patrons, she remains certain that, due to the nature of mortality, she'll eventually be able to put her stripping days behind her. 'Can you imagine how gross it would be to tell someone that you're a 40-year-old stripper?' Meyer said. 'There's no way I'll let that happen to me. That's why I plan to start lying as I get older and say that I'm a waitress or a nurse or something.' In addition to putting herself through a bleak and hopeless existence by cheapening herself nightly, Meyer is also supporting her abusive, unemployed boyfriend, 34-year-old James Keller. Meyer claimed that much of her money, as well as all of her remaining faith in humanity, will go to Keller just until he gets back on his feet and runs off with another stripper, most likely one of Meyer's close friends. 'I'm just helping Jimmy out until he gets me pregnant and takes off to go live with his mom in Oklahoma,' Meyer said. 'After we get over that hump, it'll just be me and his bastard kid, who will destroy both any chance I ever had of dating a decent guy, as well as our only source of income: my taut, lean body.' Those who frequent Klassy Dolls have reportedly offered their support for Meyer's life plan. Bo Lewiston, 42, a twice-divorced auto-body shop owner who frequently breaks the nightclub's rules by forcing his hands into Meyer's G-string, said he has no doubt that the beautiful 24-year-old will attain the minimal subsistence-oriented goals she has laid out for herself. 'Nina is a wonderful gal with a great head on her shoulders,' Lewiston said while leering dangerously at Meyer. 'Hell, if she tries hard enough and develops a meth habit, she could fatally overdose and be out of Klassy Dolls in just a few months.' 
1	Forcefully asserting that two-hand touch football is for girls, reports out of Greenfield Park confirmed Monday that a small but aggressive faction of seventh-graders are staunchly in favor of playing tackle. Cmon, stop being such babieslets play real football, said the contingents de facto leader, 12-year-old Conor Crawford, reportedly growing increasingly combative and confrontational as several of his seventh-grade peers displayed some hesitancy toward the idea. We can put Brian and Jack on different teams since theyre the biggest, so that way itll be fair. Tackle is so much more fun, and its not like were playing on pavement or something. At press time, play had halted as the entire group gathered around a crying Brennan Michaels following the games kickoff. 
1	Some rich guy came in first Monday in that big, famous yacht race held every year at the Newport Yacht Club, a big, fancy yacht place with 'a whole lot of really expensive-looking boats and shit,' sources reported. 'There were a whole bunch of boats out there on the water, with all these rich guys running around on them, moving ropes from here to there and switching sails around to, you know, try to make the boats go faster, I guess,' said 61-year-old Newport-area dockworker Bill Duigan, who witnessed the rich guy's stunning 11th-hour victory from more than three miles away while hosing bird shit off a pier. 'I couldn't see what was going on too well, on account of they were way the hell out there on the water, but from where I stood, I guess I'd have to say it looked like that one with the blue sails was movin' at a pretty good clip. I heard he was the one that won.' Duigan was then yelled at to quit talking and get back to work. The victory marks the approximately 87,000th consecutive yacht race to be won by a rich guy since competitive yachting began, oh, probably a hell of a long time ago, sources figured. 'It is with great [something] that I hereby present this noble [something something] to a great competitor, gentleman and sailor, Mr. [something],' valet-parking attendant Larry Wynorski heard some yacht-club president or someone say during the gala awards dinner that followed the prestigious event, overhearing snatches of the speech from his spot in the parking lot outside the building. 'This must be a really big honor for the guy who won, whoever he is,' Wynorski said. 'They really went all out for him. I got a buddy Pete works in food service says the boss had 'em haulin' load after load of lobster and caviar and champagne in and out of there all night long. Matter of fact, he didn't even get off work until well after midnight, and the kitchen staff is usually on their way home by 10, 10:30 at the latest.' 'It must've been one hell of a shindig,' Wynorski added. The yacht racewhich, according to these two guys Stan and John in charge of lugging cables around, is one of the biggest deals of the year for the clubattracts 'shitloads' of participants from 'hell, all over the world.' 'There was even this one guy who came all the way from, I don't know, China or Japan or somewhere like that, just to race his yacht,' said limo driver William Mimms. 'I'm not exactly sure where he was from, actually, since I didn't really talk to him all that much, because he kept the partition up the whole time.' 'Still, you wouldn't think he'd come all that way unless it was pretty important,' Mimms added. 'This race was a real big deal, I'm telling you.' Other low-income laborers agreed. 'You bet it was an important goddamn race,' said marina worker Sam Tosch, who, along with his brother-in-law Bud, has a little boat he sometimes takes out fishing a bit, here and there, if he can get a weekend off, but, you know, nothing like this. 'Believe me, these fellas, they take their boating real serious. I remember this one time, I was scraping barnacles off this one rich guy's hull, and he starts screaming at me, 'Be careful, you idiot! Don't you know that boat cost more than you'll earn in your whole life?' So, you can see how important it all is.' According to witnesses who observed him walking down a pier on his way to the awards banquet, the rich guy who won was 'snappy-looking,' wearing a fancy sailor's cap and some sort of big, lambs-wool sweater from the Hebrides. They also noted that the man was tall and well-tanned, and had a beautiful lady on his armin addition to being, of course, rich. In recognition of his victory in the extremely prestigious competition, the rich guy received what sources within 50 feet or so described as 'a big, fancy metal cup,' which he held aloft while a bunch of other rich guys carried him around on their shoulders, clapping and cheering. In addition to the big cup, the rich guy also apparently received, like, a ton of money, making him even richer. Race officials could not be reached for comment on the rich guy's win, as they were cordoned off inside a special V.I.P. hospitality tent where nobody else was allowed. Club trustee Thurston Winthrop Wellington III, of the Hyannisport Wellingtons, did offer one remark, however, telling 19-year-old waitress Carrie Kallenbach to 'move along but quickly, girl, if you like this job.' The victorious rich guy joins a long list of rich guys who have won sporting events this year. Among the other sports in which rich guys have excelled are 'boat-rowing,' 'that crazy-looking horse/hockey thing,' and 'this one other golfy sport where you take this weird wooden hammer and, like, have to hit these striped balls through little metal things that are stuck in the grass.' 
1	Looking on as the intense display of aggressive behavior played out over several minutes, sources at Flannigans Bar & Grill confirmed Thursday that local man Pete Samuelson was pushed off a plate of buffalo wings by a much larger alpha male. That poor little guyas soon as the big one saw the meat, he came over and just muscled him off to the side, said onlooker Marilou Baker, adding that Samuelson eventually managed to dart in at one point and snatch a bit of celery and blue cheese from the more dominant male. The huge male just devoured those chicken wings. I doubt theres going to be anything left for the smaller one but some scraps hanging from the bones. At press time, Samuelson reportedly let out a pitiful little yowl, paid his bill, and scampered off. 
1	Out of jail after posting a $1 million bond, George Zimmerman told reporters Monday he remained firmly committed to community safety and had no intention of letting a single unpleasant episode prevent him from fulfilling his regular neighborhood watch duties. 'Just because I had one little setback doesn't mean I'm suddenly going to forget my pledge to keep the Retreat at Twin Lakes safe and crime-free,' said Zimmerman, adding that his arrest on charges of murdering 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was just a 'single crummy day,' and he was eager to get back to patrolling his gated subdivision of townhouses for suspicious activity. 'So I had a bad experience and it spooked me. So what? Ive got to dust myself off and try again. After all, they need me out there.' At press time, Zimmerman reported that being back behind the wheel of his SUV and quietly scanning his darkened neighborhood streets again 'feels good. Feels right.' 
3	6 Points To Consider When Analyzing The Charlie Hebdo AttacksBrandon Turbeville The xenophobic pro-war right is predictably using the attack as an example of how all Muslims are terrorists and how their total annihilation and implementation of police state tactics are the only solution. On the one hand, the pathetic left-wing attempts to blame the victim for incitement and focuses on the need to become more politically correct, self-censoring, and linguistically minimal. The vast majority in the middle, however, believe the official mainstream version of events, quake in their boots, and move on to the next form of entertainment provided to them by the culture creators without a second thought. Yet, as is almost always the case, there is much more to the story than is being reported by mainstream outlets. There exist a number of questionable details regarding the Charlie Hebdo attack, as well as the relatively open control over terrorist groups and Islamic jihadists by the French intelligence apparatus, the US, and NATO. While random acts of violence certainly do occur some motivated by religious extremism and some not it is important to examine all of the facts surrounding these acts before coming to a judgment regarding the nature of them. We cannot simply engage in knee-jerk reactions labeling every act of violence as a false flag yet we cannot ignore the history of such acts and the prevalence of false flags in recent times. To be clear, this article is not attempting to definitively prove that the Charlie Hebdo attacks were false flags. It is, however, attempting to provide a brief collection of points that may shed light on the nature of those attacks and possible motivations for them that the mainstream media is largely refusing to cover. Below are 6 points that should be considered when analyzing the Charlie Hebdo attacks. 1.) Reports suggest the attackers acted as if they had military training. Reports are confirmed that the alleged assailants did receive military training in Syria. David Blair writes for the Telegraph They were also fully equipped for their murderous task. Photographs taken at the scene show two men clad entirely in black, their faces concealed by balaclavas. Each one is armed with an AK47 assault rifle. They wear army-style boots and have a military appearance and manner. One of the men wears a sand-colored ammunition vest apparently stuffed with spare magazines. Some reports suggest that an attacker was also carrying a rocket-propelled grenade launcher. Amateur footage shows them using classic infantry tactics. They move along the street outside the office working as a pair: one advances while the other gives cover. Instead of spraying automatic gunfire, they fire two aimed shots at each target a pattern known as double-tap firing thereby conserving their ammunition. The CIA and military-industrial complex connected security analysis organization, Stratfor, also suggested that the attackers were trained militarily. The organization based concluded this from the way they handled their weapons, moved and shot. These attackers conducted a successful attack, using what they knew, instead of attempting to conduct an attack beyond their capability, failing as a result. The attackers indeed received military training. They were fighters in Syria at one time as part of the jihadi proxy army of the United States, France, UK, and NATO. According to mainstream reports, the attackers spoke flawless, unaccented French, despite claims that they are members of the foreign Al-Qaeda in Yemen organization or the widespread belief that the attackers may have been fundamentalist immigrants. As CBS News reports, Corinne Rey, the cartoonist who said she was forced to let the gunmen in, said the men spoke fluent French and claimed to be from al Qaeda. In an interview with the newspaper lHumanite, she said the entire shooting lasted perhaps five minutes. Cherif Kouachi, one of the suspected attackers, was no stranger to French law enforcement. He was sentenced to three years imprisonment with 18 months suspended for terrorism charges in 2008 when was convicted of criminal association with a terrorist enterprise. Apparently, the group to which Cherif was affiliated, known as the 19th Arrondissement Network (named for the neighborhood it was based out of), was involved in recruiting French Muslims to fight for al-Qaeda in Iraq. As is typical in Western-backed terrorist operations, the group preyed on poor, disenchanted, struggling, and working-class young men. After procuring the necessary manpower, the group would then organize for weapons training and provide the necessary travel arrangements. Although convicted in 2008, police had arrested Cherif in 2005, just days before he planned to travel to Syria. Cherif fits the profile of a target for terrorist recruits. He was Muslim, had left school, and was working a dead-end job as a pizza delivery man. He was decidedly lower working class. The narrative now being constructed is that a gullible young man then fell under the spell of charismatic street preacher known as Farid Benyettou, who trolled the East Side of Paris. It is implied that Beneyettou, who was also convicted on terrorism charges, played a role in setting up Cherif with the terrorist organization he eventually joined and his subsequent travels to Syria to slaughter innocent people ultimately for the benefit of the geopolitical goals of NATO, France, and the United States. It should be noted that, during the course of the trial, Beneyettou was responsible for recruitment only. Out of the entire membership of his network, he was the only one not slated to travel to Iraq. Also noteworthy is the fact that, in 2005, it was revealed that some members of the 19th Arrondissement Network had affiliations with the ad-Dawa mosque,[1] one of the largest mosques in Paris. More importantly, all of the suspects were on the terrorist watch list of authorities long prior to their terrorist attack in Paris. 2.) The publication that was attacked has served to promote the strategy of tension in the past. Whether Charlie Hebdo was merely a media outlet who reveled in irreverence of Islam or whether it is something more sinister, the magazine is no stranger to controversy. As CBS News writes, Charlie Hebdo has been repeatedly threatened for its caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad and other sketches. Its offices were firebombed in 2011 after an issue featured a caricature of the prophet on its cover. Nearly a year later, the publication again published Muhammad caricatures, drawing denunciations from the Muslim world because Islam prohibits the publication of drawings of its founder. Another cartoon, released in this weeks issue and entitled Still No Attacks in France, had a caricature of a jihadi fighter saying Just wait we have until the end of January to present our New Years wishes. Charb was the artist. To be sure, the magazine has offended other religions and belief systems as well. However, it is interesting to note that, while the magazine and its editors have been allowed to continue operation despite the violent reactions its statements and cartoons have produced across the world as well as in France itself, some religions are apparently considered more equal than others. For instance, in 2009, an 80-year-old columnist for Charlie Hebdo was actually put on trial on charges of inciting racial hatred for making a joke that then-President Sarkozys son was converting to Judaism for financial gain. Indeed, even the act of denying the holocaust is a punishable thought crime in France. Despite the uber political correctness, however, France has allowed the magazine to continue lampooning Islam and Christianity, obviously acceptable targets of derision and abuse. Of course, religious organizations from both camps have responded with the traditional and typical response of fundamentalists the world over by attempting to stop the freedom of speech and expression of those not necessarily convinced by the arguments of the converted via the government apparatus and any other available means at their disposal. To be clear, however, while many Christians and Muslims likely detest the representation of their faith and religious symbols in such insulting ways, the overwhelming majority express their discontent in the same way by griping to their friends and family, turning on the game, and moving on. Only a minority are actually moved to action, and an even smaller minority to violence, the latter generally encouraged by foundations, NGOs, or intelligence agency-affiliated religious organizations. In regards to Christianity and Islam, France has largely sided with freedom of speech at this point. Still, Charlie Hebdo has served to act as a catalyst in a number of instances of incitement (though, to be clear, the magazine itself should not be blamed for the reaction of others) of the Muslim communities in France and abroad. Is it possible that the magazine actually serves the purpose of intentionally inciting these types of religious riots and acts of violence from fundamentalists brought into France by the French government and armed by them abroad? Is Charlie Hebdo really a free and independent magazine, or is it actually a tool of the Anglo-Americans in their attempt to maintain the strategy of tension domestically and abroad? 3.) France arms terrorist groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda If the attackers were indeed members of one of the myriad terrorist groups documented to be under the direction and control of Western powers, France itself is to be implicated in the cause and execution of the attacks. As Tony Cartalucci of Land Destroyer Report writes in his own article, France Armed Terrorists That Struck Paris, France, as part of a NATO-led coalition, has been arming, funding, aiding, and otherwise perpetuating Al Qaeda terrorists for years, beginning, on record in Libya with the overthrow of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and continuing until today with NATOs arming, harboring, and backing of Al Qaeda terrorists including the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) within and along Syrias borders. With the recent attack in Paris likely the work of the very terrorists France has been arming and backing across North Africa and the Middle East, the French government itself stands responsible, guilty of the continued material support of a terrorist organization that has now killed French citizens, including two police officers, not only on French soil, but within the French capital itself. In his article Timeline: Whered Paris Shooters Get Their Weapons? Cartalucci also provides a timeline of assistance, aid, and arms provided to Islamic terrorists since 2011. He writes, 2011 France supplying weapons to Libyan rebels, London Telegraph: A French military spokesman, Colonel Thierry Burkhard, said it had provided light arms such as assault rifles for civilian communities to protect themselves against Col Gaddafi. But the decision to arm the rebels is a further move towards direct involvement in the land war on top of the air war against Col Muammar Gaddafi. The Nafusa rebels have come closest to breaking through to Tripoli itself of any of the front lines of the conflict, while three months of Nato bombing have failed to dislodge Col Gaddafi from power. Le Figaro, the French newspaper which first reported the air drops, said the shipment included rifles, machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades, along with Milan anti-tank missiles. 2011 Libyan rebel commander admits his fighters have al-Qaeda links, London Telegraph: Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, the Libyan rebel leader, has said jihadists who fought against allied troops in Iraq are on the front lines of the battle against Muammar Gaddafis regime. 2012 France to push for arming Syrias opposition coalition, the BBC: Frances foreign minister has said he will discuss supplying arms to the Syrian opposition coalition with European partners. The government plans to push for a relaxation of the EU arms embargo to Syria to enable defensive arms to reach opposition fighters. 2013 Syria crisis: France and Britain move a step closer to arming rebels, the London Guardian: France and Britain have moved a step closer to arming the opposition to the Assad regime in a radical move aimed at tipping the balance in the two-year civil war while also ignoring European policy on Syria. The French president, Franois Hollande, went into an EU summit in Brussels with a dramatic appeal for Europe to join Paris and London in lifting a European arms embargo, but the sudden policy shift was certain to run into stiff German opposition. 2013 Syrian rebels pledge loyalty to al-Qaeda, USA Today: A Syrian rebel groups April pledge of allegiance to al-Qaedas replacement for Osama bin Laden suggests that the terrorist groups influence is not waning and that it may take a greater role in the Western-backed fight to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad. The pledge of allegiance by Syrian Jabhat al Nusra Front chief Abou Mohamad al-Joulani to al-Qaeda leader Sheik Ayman al-Zawahri was coupled with an announcement by the al-Qaeda affiliate in Iraq, the Islamic State of Iraq, that it would work with al Nusra as well. 2014 France delivered arms to Syrian rebels, Hollande confirms, France 24: President Francois Hollande said on Thursday that France had delivered weapons to rebels battling the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad a few months ago. 4.) France ordered aircraft carrier to the Gulf in order to fight ISIS nearly a full day before the attacks in France. While certainly not conclusive evidence that the attack on Charlie Hebdo was an inside job, it is without a doubt very questionable. After all, it should be remembered that, when the French people and even some of its parliamentarians were hesitant to engage in military action in Iraq, ISIS released a video of an alleged beheading of a Frenchman, which provided justification for French involvement. This was the third video in a series that prompted justification for action from each of the target countries. Undoubtedly, such brazen attacks inside France will drum up even more support for French military action in the Middle East. The fact that the military action was announced a full day before the attacks took place will be no matter to the few members of the general public who discover it. As Agence France Presse reported on Tuesday January 6, The deployment of the marine battle group is due to be announced by President Francois Hollande when he gives his annual new years speech to the armed forces onboard the Charles de Gaulle on January 14, according to the Mer et Marine news site. The Elysee Palace confirmed to AFP that the carrier would travel to the Gulf on its way to India, where it is due to take part in exercises in mid-April. The Charles de Gaulle will be available to participate, if necessary, in all operational missions, the Elysee spokesman said. According to Mer et Marine, the Charles de Gaulle carrier will travel to the Gulf with its fleet of air and naval craft, including Rafale and Super Etendard fighter jets and an attack submarine, to take part in the US-led bombing campaign against IS forces in Iraq. 5.) Timing takes place after French government begins to show signs of opposing Russian sanctions and recognizing a Palestinian state. Timing is everything. This phrase is particularly relevant in the field of propaganda. Because of this, many are now wondering whether or not the attacks were some false flag type event used as an attempt to reign in members of the French government who may be straying off the reservation. For instance, in December of 2014, the lower house of the French parliament voted to recognize a Palestinian state. While the vote will not likely affect Frances foreign policy, it is a powerful symbol of a changing of the tide in terms of popular opinion regarding the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. Likewise, the recent statement by French President Francois Hollande that the sanctions on Russia must end, could be seen as a threat to Anglo-American solidarity. Thus, such attacks could serve as a justification for French military action in the Middle East, a reminder to some players in the French government not to show dissension in public. There is also the potential domestic agenda to be considered. Given the fact that the attacks are being painted as a fundamentalist response to the mockery of Islam, it is likely that the agenda will revolve around the issue of free speech and the police state. With the meme of I stand with Free Speech making its rounds across the Internet in response to the narrative of the attack, it is more likely that the attack will be used to increase public support for military action overseas and acceptance of an even greater police state at home. The attacks and their subsequent coverage are likely to be used to engender further hatred and distrust of Islam, thereby injecting the circle of extremism and hate (Christian to Muslim to Christian to Muslim and on and on) with fresh fuel. Convincing Christians that all Muslims are extremists and convincing Muslims that all Christians are extremists will be a goal of radicalization made all that much easier with the Charlie Hebdo attacks fresh in the minds of the French people. Of course, with the incessant political correctness running rampant across the entire West, it is also possible that the attacks may be used to silence criticism not necessarily of Islam but of the policy of unfettered immigration which has contributed to even greater economic troubles and the destruction of French culture. 6.) One of the attackers left his ID for the police to find While one of the alleged attackers, 18-year-old Hamyd Mourad, turned himself into police late Wednesday afternoon, it was reported that police were able to identify one of other attackers after he left his identification papers in the getaway car that the two assailants ditched. While dropping ones ID in the process of a getaway is certainly not outside the realm of possibility, such a convenience for law enforcement cannot help but remind informed observers of the survival of the alleged hijackers paper passports on 9/11. Conclusion Whatever the true nature of the Charlie Hebdo attacks may be blowback or false flag there is clearly much more to the story than what the mainstream press is printing and promoting. Regardless, the only thing that we can know with absolute certainty is that the Charlie Hebdo attacks will be used as propaganda to the utmost effect by all Western and NATO governments in the push for further war abroad and an even greater police state at home.

BREAKING: Russian Think Tank claims US Intel carried out #CharlieHebdo attack in Paris: http://osnetdaily.com/2015/01/russian-think-tank-us-intel-carried-charliehebdo-attack/ Brother Nathanael has a good article on this. Take it or leave it. http://www.realjewnews.com/?p=995 Please do not poison the discussion with articles from a hate-filled anti-Semitic website like realjewsnews! I see the Zionist Israeli regime as war criminals, as do many Jews, but when you include Jew-haters as authors of a good article on this, you just shame yourself. I will not take a piece of hate speech but I will ask that you keep this kind of bigotry out of the discussion. To him who has an ear, let him hear. Brother Nathanael is a former Talmudic Jew, so he has a lot of credibility. He knows their teachings very well. And he is Semitic. He is anti- Zionist, as you seem to be. So if someone you dont like says the sky is blue, its not really blue because, well, because hes a bad boy? I dont follow your drift. What does sky is blue have to do with using a virulent anti-Jewish website as good place to recommend? Are you perhaps telling us that you do indeed get much of your information from places like realjewnews and stormfront, leading neo-Nazi websites. You dont have to kill the messenger when they have already drunk the kool-aid. Well then, how about plain old no? I know the racist deeply believes his views that blacks are inferior, less intelligent, more criminal, etc is the truth. That is the danger of ignorance, as hatred is founded on fear, and fear is based on ignorance. The Nazi deeply believes that Jews are inferior and deserve to be killed. This is his truth. Truth is what we can support with logic and evidence, without preconceptions. Racial bigotry is not inherent; it is taught. To your NO (the perfect expression of negativity), which you leave without context so empty of any meaning, I oppose with YES. Yes you can change. Yes you can replace your ignorance with knowledge, your fear with trust, and your poisoned truth with genuine truth. Yes! EVen you can cleanse your mind of the lies you have been taught and seek to defend. You can become fully human.if you want. Shut up, hippie. What are negroes? Where did you get your PH.D in genetics? Wrong answer So whats your opinion of Kikes? What is your opinion of Hitler? Better than kikes diese kikes sind infuhrer ! ^ bellend Well, Im not sure if racism is taught, at least not the natural differences weve recognized between each other for thousands of years. There is a difference between racism and violently inspired and taught racism. Maybe we need a new word to describe what Im talking about? Were not all equal, that is a fact. We have different cultures and beliefs and when those cultures are forced to coexist bad things happen as a result of it. You cannot legislate these things out of society. When you flood the nations of Europe with foreigners you can expect many horrible results. It isnt racist to want to preserve ones culture and peoples. What is racist (hated filled) is forcing people to coexist with others who are vastly different, who do not want to coexist with each other and have no need or want to assimilate into the foreign culture they now find themselves in. The belief that we can all get along and exist in a multicultural society (tolerance) where everyone is happy and giddy is a huge lie. It hasnt worked in America or Europe and it will not work anywhere on this planet. I wonder, what would the middle eastern countries do if millions of Europeans decided to migrate into their lands? Do you think they would just except us and let us live in peace? No one is born with the idea that skin color, any more than eye color or hair color, is a reason to rank people as racism does. All (ALL) professional anthropological and genetics organizations reject race as a biological fact (due to their being more variation among ethnic groups than between them) and recognize it, by default, as an ideological construct. Racial theory was invented to justify slavery. Well, we do it naturally, dont we? Personally I look at all human beings as belonging to the same family, in essence, one race of people. But lets not be naive, ethnic and cosmetic differences do make a difference. When I look at a black man, an Indian from India or an Asian I immediately see and feel the differences between us. When I get to know these different people I understand and can see the cultural differences also. This doesnt cause me to hate though, though in other people that does seem to be their first response. I can enjoy their company and their cultural differences, I can recognize what we have in common, beyond simply being human, but I can also recognize that trying to forcefully throw us together in the same environment isnt a good idea. It may work on as smaller scale to a certain degree but when politicians create edicts to legislate our moral and ethical behavior, based on forcing us all together, i.e., tolerance, based on race then I have to cry foul. Explain to me why European nations are being forced to become multicultural and multiracial (regardless if it is false construct)? Why are so many Jewish ideologues behind this forced meshing of cultures and ethnicities? Im no antisemite but I can provide evidence, from their own mouths, that they are leading the way to destroy the monolithic white European nations. Do you see any other countries being forced to take millions and millions of European immigrants? Does Israel practice what it preaches? Do you know what replacement values are? European women are not having enough children to replace those who are dying. This simply means that in less then a hundred years there will be no more Europeans left. Those foreigners who immigrate to Europe are having children by the droves. They are literally out-breeding Europeans which means Europe will be their continent in as little as one hundred years. The same thing is true in America, New Zealand, Canada, and Australia. Do you see a pattern here? Do you think its alright to allow a unique and amazing people to be destroyed by way of a politically correct, state sponsored genocide? There are professors at Harvard who are preaching the destruction of all white males and the mainstream media isnt batting an eye at what they would normally call hate speech. Why is that? The people who control the mainstream media, whether it be the print media, Hollywood, etc. have a plan. It isnt a secret, you can read about it in the books they publish, in the articles they write and in the movies they produce. They are using Fabian Socialism to slowly yet surely destroy an entire race of people. The world does nothing, not even a whisper is heard. Racial theory was invented by a Zionist. So when can you start helping out in Liberia or Sierra Leone ? Parts of Africa can truly benefit from your hands on wisdom .. (boktos) Even Ebono the saint (*gags*) form J3W2 was just a poser, evidently much like yourself. Where was this valiant African Rights selfnews when it mattered ? Too afraid of the African Spirit Obola ? Yet, really coined it when it came to the idiot box. Do they know its Christmas ?. As if he cared. Shame on you Uncool Daft, talks too much, at 70 something, its time to set an example, dont you think? Please document in full (pics and text) your bright conclusion and well revised comprehensible solution to overcoming the parasite that is feeding off the reasonable, natural human psyche. None of the typical mainstream leftist/libtard propaganda youve been parroting, please. Your cheap, synthetic, brainless, repetitive, pointless, ideologies may appear to have some substance to the less observant at the moment, but I assure you, they are empty. No wonder those concepts of yours are violently defensive. The only reason for that is because it is based on a lie, and that blind so-called ideal you so valiantly advocate equals nothing but death. So cut the crap. We require a full documented expedition through either one of the ebola rich countries mentioned in the first sentence OR Congo, Nigeria, Uganda, Zimbabwe or Soweto in SA, take your pick. Take a book and pen (yes, we know this is cheating) and document your findings and then come and share it with us please. After your rude awakening, try and come convince us of the benefits of the fable called div3rshi!tty . Either, put up or shut up hippy, madala. A little less conversation a little more action! Lets add agism to your racism and fascism. Fuck off, asshole. You are a disgrace to the human species. Hey now, I offered you the opportunity to demonstrate your argument, but just like any typical tolerant libturd, you revealed your true colors in no time, just because my point of perception doesnt fit into your narrow, degenerate, illogical parroted paradigm. You always resort to the same old violent insults name calling .. That train is never late! Oh please allow him to bring some high-tech gadgets so the natives can take pictures of him being cannibalized. Ok. How about this. Lets grant Uncool Rale Daftt the privilege of showing the natives the marvels of the western technology. Give him a 3D printer to show them. He may even print some cutlery for them! Teach them how to use it . He can pic the alpha male in the pack, and attempt to show to it how to use a camera. Hopefully then everyone can view fully experience the cultural enrichment of this 70 year oldish, washed out, commie, hippy poser, as a bunch of his brainless initiates attempt to ravage devour him with a forkenknife . I dont follow your drift You dont follow ? No kidding, you cant even find your own arschloch mit beiden Hnden You are a disgrace to your species, your nation, and your family. How sad You are entitled to your opinion, but as far as the substance of it is concerned, those that matter to me most, will render it invalid. Who gives a flying fook what you think anyway, your rotting mind is in dire need of sanitation as it is, madala! You are entitled to your opinion, but as far as the content of it is concerned, those that matter to me most, will render it invalid. Who gives a fly!ng f00k what you think anyway, your rotting mind is in dire need of sanitation as it is, madala! But Dale is opposed to the RIGHT WING ADMINISTRATION in kikestan, so doesnt that make him anti-kike? Its so confusing Does the Zionist Israeli regime have anything to do with Kikes? Kikes is a derogatory term invented by racists. Brother Nathanael is a scam artist at the very least and an asset at worst. The man continually asks people for money because of all of the important work he does (is it really hard work to film one self with a tripod and a camera?). What news is Brother Nathanael providing? none at all, its literally what Dale said it is, propaganda and hate-filled ranting. Lets reserve our anger (not hatred) for those intimately involved in this global conspiracy. Not all Jewish people, or even mist Jewish people are part of their cabal. Top 10 (now 12) inconsistencies tally: 2. It looks like they did fire some real rounds from the looks of one of 3. All people who responded to the scene had French Foreign Legion haircuts. Odd for ambulance drivers and EMTs. 4 (a good one) If the perpetrators got away and have not been 5. I never saw any bloody photos from this, not even fake blood, not 6. Target was a group of Jews, who belong to a greater whole which stages B.S. terror attacks frequently. That stinks. 7. How did the road miraculously have no traffic? The scene is set up 8.

I initially assumed Inconsistency 11: All video initially posted was shot from ANSWER: They went up ahead of time, got in position, and shot Inconsistency 12: Getaway driver was in school at the time of the incident Classmates stand up for him The classmates of an 18-year-old suspect in the Paris shooting, that Hamyd Mourad was reported to have handed himself to the police at around11pm last night after he saw his name mentioned on the news and his friends and acquaintances have said that he has an alibi, as they claim It wont matter, just like the Boston bombing, where dorm room I really like the one where the officer gets shot with an AK 47 and yet doesnt bleed or twitch just falls downHmmm has anyone seen the Zapruter footage of the Kennedy assassination?? And why, in the main roof-top video that was initially shown, are two of the people in it (who presumably ran there in a state of panic from the offices below), wearing flak-jackets? Hey here is another one that can see! Good job Keith now if The guy who shot the video is a Syrian with ties to Free Syrian Army the very terrorist organization that France is supporting, his name is Martin Boudot. More on him at this blog: https://earthlinggb.wordpress.com/2015/01/08/paris-shooting-vive-la-bull-merde/#comment-10295 After over a hundred years false flag events by the US government, anytime anything like this happens, I consider them guilty until proven innocent. Just like the US government considers Americans guilty until proven innocent. Youre right. Kikes guilty until proven innocent? Heres three more.. Pay no attention to dancing Israelis here to document the event (911) Pay no attention to dancing Israelis on Kiev roof tops sniping both sides. (how they roll) Pay no attention to dancing Israelis on Paris streets shouting Allahu Akbar! The tactic of Zionists which always works is, to kill some, or more (6 bill in the II WW) and abuse someone other to have done that. So the door to attack him is open. As Zionists possess the media chain all scenario function for the major public. As being done secret it is hard to prove as it remains an assumption. 9/11, Boston, even Gaza, winning the medieval Scots . Tens of thousands of policemen are being #6: just like the intact passport found at the WTC, after they fell. Leaving your ID??? We agree. Sandy Hebdo Phony Baloney Hmmm? So its a good thing, allowing millions of Muslims into the west, after our forefathers fought and died to keep them from overrunning Europe? The Germans are protesting Muslim immigration as we speak and theyre being called Nazis for wanting to preserve their race and culture. France has long been a stronghold for Muslims and London is predominantly foreign at this point. It looks more like India then England. The same thing is going on in America. So why is everyone so blind or so politically correct that they resolve to do nothing about it? Forget about the false flag aspects in order to continue the bogus war on terror, what about the very real threat of Europeans being bred out of existence in their own countries? Were already well below replacement values, i.e., our women are not having enough babies to replace our populations. Russia and Germany are in seriously dire straights, especially Russia. You can thank the same Zionist controlled politicians that are running this current scam on us. By the 22nd century well be a hollow shell of our former selves, hated and despised the world over, weak and ripe for total destruction. Your views on the other are no different from Hitler and all other racists. Race is an ideological construct; you cannot preserve a biological race, as such does not exist. European whites killed each other by the tens of millions with no help from Jews or Muslims. So much for our race. You are promoting a divisive and historically murderous division of the population between us (ie whites) and them. No group has killed more people than the whites. Why not take a scientific view and see that there are no races, only subgroups with more differences within groups than between? Look up race as an ideological construct, not a biological fact, as determined by all anthropological and genetics professional organizations. Race is a concept invented in modern times to rank people by skin color. It was invented to justify slavery and persecution of people based on color of skin. Race is a racist concept. Dont believe me: learn what the geneticists have found. Here a few samples by geneticists: Race remains an inflammatory issue, both socially and scientifically. Fortunately, modern human genetics can deliver the salutary message that human populations share most of their genetic variation and that there is no scientific support for the concept that human populations are discrete, nonoverlapping entities. Furthermore, by offering the means to assess disease-related variation at the individual level, new genetic technologies may eventually render race largely irrelevant in the clinical setting. Thus, genetics can and should be an important tool in helping to both illuminate and defuse the race issue. http://www.nature.com/ng/journal/v36/n11s/full/ng1435.html http://www.aaanet.org/stmts/racepp.htm links to the statement by the American Anthropological Association: From its inception, this modern concept of race.. was a mode of classification linked specifically to peoples in the colonial situation. It subsumed a growing ideology of inequality devised to rationalize European attitudes and treatment of the conquered and enslaved peoples. Proponents of slavery in particular during the 19th century used race to justify the retention of slavery. The ideology magnified the differences among Europeans, Africans, and Indians, established a rigid hierarchy of socially exclusive categories underscored and bolstered unequal rank and status differences, and provided the rationalization that the inequality was natural or God-given. The different physical traits of African-Americans and Indians became markers or symbols of their status differences. As they were constructing US society, leaders among European-Americans fabricated the cultural/behavioral characteristics associated with each race, linking superior traits with Europeans and negative and inferior ones to blacks and Indians. Numerous arbitrary and fictitious beliefs about the different peoples were institutionalized and deeply embedded in American thought. Early in the 19th century the growing fields of science began to reflect the public consciousness about human differences. Differences among the racial categories were projected to their greatest extreme when the argument was posed that Africans, Indians, and Europeans were separate species, with Africans the least human and closer taxonomically to apes. Ultimately race as an ideology about human differences was subsequently spread to other areas of the world. It became a strategy for dividing, ranking, and controlling colonized people used by colonial powers everywhere. But it was not limited to the colonial situation. In the latter part of the 19th century it was employed by Europeans to rank one another and to justify social, economic, and political inequalities among their peoples. During World War II, the Nazis under Adolf Hitler enjoined the expanded ideology of race and racial differences and took them to a logical end: the extermination of 11 million people of inferior races (e.g., Jews, Gypsies, Africans, homosexuals, and so forth) and other unspeakable brutalities of the Holocaust. Race thus evolved as a worldview, a body of prejudgments that distorts our ideas about human differences and group behavior. Racial beliefs constitute myths about the diversity in the human species and about the abilities and behavior of people homogenized into racial categories. The myths fused behavior and physical features together in the public mind, impeding our comprehension of both biological variations and cultural behavior, implying that both are genetically determined. Racial myths bear no relationship to the reality of human capabilities or behavior. Scientists today find that reliance on such folk beliefs about human differences in research has led to countless errors.How people have been accepted and treated within the context of a given society or culture has a direct impact on how they perform in that society. The racial worldview was invented to assign some groups to perpetual low status, while others were permitted access to privilege, power, and wealth. The tragedy in the United States has been that the policies and practices stemming from this worldview succeeded all too well in constructing unequal populations among Europeans, Native Americans, and peoples of African descent. Given what we know about the capacity of normal humans to achieve and function within any culture, we conclude that present-day inequalities between so-called racial groups are not consequences of their biological inheritance but products of historical and contemporary social, economic, educational, and political circumstances. Also: check There is great genetic diversity within all human populations. Pure races, in the sense of genetically homogenous populations, do not exist in the human species today, nor is there any evidence that they have ever existed in the past. Wikipedia (with primary sources) reports: Here is an informative study at Adjust your thinking. Beyond that, I cannot help you if you choose to dismiss the findings of the entire universe of those who have spent their lives studying human variation. Why should skin color, which has thousands of tones, be more important than eye color? These fabrications were designed to justify persecution. Its time to reject the racist concept of race. Too bad you dont know how to edit your posts. Im not going to read a post longer then the average news article. You wrote a novella, not a reply. I will of course respond to your ignorant first sentence. I have no wish nor plan to kill anyone based on there race or ethnicity. I do not idolize Herr Hitler. Why didnt you bring up Lenin or Joseph Stalin? And no, I am very different then Hitler. Im just more honest then you, or more experienced. I judge individuals on how they treat me and other people. There are good people and bad people in this world, but thats a judgment on the individual level. Racially, tribally, culturally, ethnicity, whatever youd like to call it, generalizations can be valuable and accurate. (I will not use the term species as Darwins vile theory was used by both the Nazis and the Bolshevik communists to justify the murder of millions of peoples). It is a fact that people are different, both culturally and cosmetically, divided by language and custom, ad infinitum. Your beliefs are unrealistic and naive. History has taught us how wrong you truly are, time and time again, and no matter the amount of insults and slurs you throw my way, that will not change. Hmmm means, motive, opportunity and who benefits.Clearly Israel has already directly benefited in many ways. Most importantly France has done an about face and now refuses to support Palestine. Muslim terrorists are once again being blamed, supporting Israeli wailing about the threat of Islam. And an Israeli news team just happened to literally right there as the attack unfolded. Why is it that all these terrorist attacks just happen to be perfectly timed to support.Israel. No mention is being made in the MSM that the police officer murdered in the Video just happened to be a Muslim. Not much about the fact that the cartoonist killed also had a long history of mocking Israel. Let us not forget the incredibly brutal, but perfectly timed terrorists attack (also blamed on Muslim terrorists)the last time a country made a big push to support Palestine. Sweden suffered the same results as France when it publicly demanded support and justice for Israel. Now lets apply just a bit of common sense and critical thinking here people. This was a profession hit. It was extremely well planned and carried out. SO it stands to reason that the people behind it would understand all the consequences and ramifications involved. So why in the world would Muslim terrorists stage such an attack against a country that just announced to the world its support for Palestine? The simple answer is NO MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION WITH THIS LEVEL OF SOPHISTICATION WOULD EVER DO SOMETHING THIS DETRIMENTAL TO THE CAUSE. It is a false flag from start to finish. Yet another attack perfectly timed to aid Israel and undermine Palestinian statehood. Good grief people wake up. Youre a crazy conspiracy theorist all that matters is that MUSLIMS ARE EVIL AND WANT TO KILL EVERYBODY! forget evidence, logic, reason, common sense MOTIVE and above all who benefits Readers beware: the racists are out and frothing at the mouth. Sadly, you will find in the following posts many openly racist and fascist comments, with ugly hate speech. One has posted that Hitler was better than kikes. selfnewspost unfortunately draws in the lowest of the low to vent their poisoned minds and spread their hatred. If you are offended by ugly racist commentary, please be advised. Readers, come view the spectacle of a panicking, self-absorbed liberal shitlord attempting to defend his masochistic ideologies. In desperation, he issues futile appeals hoping to find someone who might somewhat agree with him. A necessity in maintaining a false sense of meaning to his pathetic existence detached from reality. Spot on Doug! Very Poetic. I brought some popcorn . 
3	FAA Releases New Drone ListIs Your Town on the Map?Jennifer Lynch And several new entities in Ohio, including: The list comes amid extensive controversy over a newly-released memo documenting the CIAs policy on the targeted killing of American citizens and on the heels of news that Charlottesville, Virginia has just become one of the first cities in the country to ban drones. This new list should contribute to the debate over whether using domestic drones for surveillance is consistent with the Constitution and with American values. As weve written in the past, drone use in the United States implicates serious privacy and civil liberties concerns. Although drones can be used for neutral, or even for positive purposes, drones are also capable of highly advanced and, in some cases, almost constant surveillance, and they can amass large amounts of data. Even the smallest drones can carry a host of surveillance equipment, from video cameras and thermal imaging to GPS tracking and cellphone eavesdropping tools. They can also be equipped with advanced forms of radar detection, license plate cameras, and facial recognition. And, as recent reporting from PBS and Slate shows, surveillance tools, like the militarys development of gigapixel technology capable of tracking people and vehicles across an entire city, are improving rapidly. EFF hopes this list will spur more people to ask their local law enforcement agencies about their drone programs. EFF has partnered with MuckRock to make it easier to ask for and disseminate this information. We also encourage people to ask hard questions of government officials about who is funding drone development in their communities and what policies the government will demand agencies follow if they fly drones. We need greater transparency and citizen push-back to protect Americans from privacy-invasive domestic drone use. You can find the new list here.

3	CDC whistleblower: also a player in the vaccine-mercury-autism fraudJon Rappoport He and his colleagues, in a famous 2004 study, gave the MMR vaccine a free pass and pretended it had no connection to autismwhen it did. Here is another study on which Thompson was a co-author: Thimerosal [mercury] exposure [from vaccines] in early life and neuropsychological outcomes 7-10 years later. (J Pediatr Psychol, Jan-Feb 2012) Obviously, this is a key piece of research, because a) mercury is known potent neurotoxin; b) parents of autistic children have been, for many years, telling anyone who would listen that their kids withdrew from the world after receiving a shot containing mercury; and c) the US government has been claiming, over and over, that mercury in vaccines has absolutely no connection to autism. Here are three quotes from this 2012 mercury study: The authors used a public use data set to investigate associations between the receipt of thimerosal-containing vaccines and immune globulins [antibodies] early in life and neuropsychological outcomes assessed at 7-10 years. There was a small, but statistically significant association between early thimerosal exposure and the presence of tics in boys. This finding should be interpreted with caution due to limitations in the measurement of tics and the limited biological plausibility regarding a causal relationship. Tics? Yes, this is a recognized sign of neurological damage. So the mercury study shows there IS, in fact, a connection between childhood vaccines and neurological damage. The kicker, the disclaimer is found in the third quote, which is a transparent cover story. Limitations in the measurement of tics? Limited biological plausibility regarding a causal relationship? Think about it. The authors knew, in advance of doing the study, that their research would offer no way to actually measure the number, duration, or strength of the tics in young children. Therefore, to use that flaw to discount the connection between tics and neurological damage was their backup plan all along. Hey, if we find a significant statistical connection between tics and brain damage in children, well just say we couldnt measure the ticsand thatll muddy the conclusion. Likewise for biological plausibility. The authors also knew, before they started the study, that the exact, step-by-step, causal sequence by which mercury disables and damages various parts of the brain can be chewed on and argued, by experts, for the next hundred yearsand never resolve the causal connection between mercury in vaccines and brain damage. This is their trump card. Therefore, their conclusion was a cover-up of the naked fact that they DID discover a significant association between mercury in vaccines and neurological damage. That makes the study a fraud on its face. Given whistleblower Thompsons track record of cooking, twisting, and burying vital data in vaccine research, it also opens the door to a further investigation of this mercury study. Were vital data omitted? Was the true picture of mercury-caused autism far worse than the authors admitted? We do know that Thompson, in a recorded phone call with either Andrew Wakefield or Brian Hooker, stated that he would never give a vaccine containing mercury to a pregnant woman. Thompson also stated that there was sufficient biological plausibility to assert that mercury in vaccines causes autism-like features. Fraud, and more fraud. Promoted to the hilt by the CDC, Ebola may be grabbing all the current headlines, but massive vaccine-research fraud at the CDC is sitting thereat the bottom of the house of cards.

1	Celtics shooting guard Ray Allen told reporters he made a terrifying discovery Wednesday, stumbling across a genetic research laboratory located deep beneath the TD Banknorth Garden and filled with thousands of test-tube 'Big Baby' Glen Davises. A visibly shaken Allen confirmed he had been searching the basketball facility for an ice pack when he happened across a previously unseen elevator, which he took to subbasement 11. Shuddering while recalling the unpleasant experience, the 10-time All-Star said the elevator doors opened onto a vast laboratory filled with countless 12-foot-tall glass tanks, each containing an individual floating Glen Davis. 'There was no end to this massive room, just these huge vats with identical Big Baby Davises stretching off into the distance,' said Allen, adding that the laboratory also contained numerous scientific apparatuses, ominous surgical tools, and several operating tables. 'It was so bizarre. They weren't moving, but they were definitely alive.' 'I walked up to one of them, tapped on the glass, and the test-tube Big Baby inside opened its eyes,' Allen continued. 'I just kind of panicked and started screaming, and then the liquid in the tanks started bubbling and all the Big Babies were screaming in unison.' Despite his fears, Allen's curiosity pushed him to further investigate what appeared to be dozens of vat-grown Glen Davis clones wearing Celtics uniforms. Allen, who clutched his hands over his face, called the legion of test-tube Big Babies a clear violation of nature. 'After a closer inspection, I realized they were actually in various stages of development,' Allen said. 'From what I've gathered, it appears to take about eight weeks for a Big Baby to mature from an embryo to a full-grown 6-foot-8, 289-pound Glen Davis.' 'At first I thought some of them were deformed or genetic mutations,' Allen added. 'But I seem to remember Glen was just weird-looking like that as a kid.' Allen reportedly examined the glass cylinders and various files scattered throughout the lab and determined that the mysterious greenish fluid inside consisted of a mixture of water, carbohydrates, B vitamins, and electrolytes. In addition, Allen located a small electronic screen on the base of each vat displaying the Big Babies' current vital signs, genetic-code data, and up-to-date NBA career statistics. Allen said he also found a laboratory notebook that seemed to indicate the Celtics were implanting defensive schemes, playoff memories, game plans, and inspirational speeches from Doc Rivers into the minds of the Big Baby Davises. 'I just can't understand why the Celtics would need or want so many Big Babies that act and play exactly the same way,' Allen said. 'He's okay, but you'd think that with all this advanced technology they would at least try to improve him a littlemaybe make Big Babies that are taller, better shooters, and a little less annoying in the locker room.' According to Allen, as he searched other areas of the laboratory, he saw a multitude of freakish, bloodcurdling sights, including a room full of arms and legs identical to Kevin Garnett's, a dusty freezer full of failed prototype Larry Bird chins, a shelf containing approximately 50 jars of formaldehyde-preserved Paul Pierce heads, and an unresponsive Robert Parish strapped to a heavy wooden chair in an otherwise empty examination room. Allen also reported entering one extremely bloody area where it looked as though the Celtics were conducting a number of diabolical basketball experiments, including the creation of a point guard/center hybrid that Allen said was barely alive, had a face that looked like Rajon Rondo's, and, upon seeing Allen, feebly rattled its chains while silently mouthing the words 'Help me.' Allen also gained access to a computer on which he read about a failed procedure to shrink Kevin Garnett's adrenal gland in order to decrease his production of testosterone and significantly reduce the amount of time he acts like a dick. 'I was about to enter a strange vault-like area when I heard a weird sound, so I ran out of there,' said Allen, adding that he thinks what he heard was Doc Rivers and Danny Ainge talking with each other and laughing shrilly. 'But from the brief glimpse I got of the next room, I could have sworn I saw more vats of Celtics players that, well, to be honest, looked like me.' 'Who am I?' Allen said. 'What is this team?' In related news, the Celtics have offered Ray Allen for trade to every team in the NBA. 
1	Despite heartfelt pleas, Janice Petrone, a totally lame and uncool zookeeper at the Brookfield Zoo, repeatedly told a group of area sixth graders Monday that they were not allowed to ride on the backs of the western lowland gorillas. 'The silverback's natural instinct is to protect his troop,' said Petrone, who has probably never taken a risk in her entire boring life. 'He would beat his chest, bare his teeth, and then charge at you as soon as you entered the enclosure.' Petrone, a loser who hates fun, also told the kids they were not permitted to swim with the sharks, race the cheetahs, or punch the giraffes.

3	The Austerity DiariesDaisy Luther We recently incurred some unexpected, major expenses in our family that have forced us to rethink our lifestyle. No matter how carefully you plan, sometimes fate has other ideas for you and you discover that you have to reset your sail and change course to go with the winds. Thankfully, we enjoy excellent health and fortitude, so were embracing the detour as yet another adventure on our journey. To do this, we have chosen to accept change as neither good nor bad, just different. Its times like this when I am so glad that we, as a family, have embraced frugality. My kids have been brought up with a somewhat different mindset from their friends. They arent big consumers and they arent into frivolous spending. They are every bit as happy with a cool item acquired from a yard sale as they are an expensive new item of clothing from the store. Im also fortunate to have the whole-hearted support of loving friends who are like-minded another key point when you are embarking on a frugal journey. When you are surrounded by spendthrifts it can be terribly difficult to adhere to your course you always feel like youre missing out, and however innocently, they tend to try and pressure you into making poor financial decisions. I know that it isnt just my family who is experiencing some tough financial downturns. The economy in North America is just awful. According to an article by Michael Snyder, half of the country supports a family on less than $27,000per year. And to make matters worse, the cost of living has dramatically increased and it isnt finished increasing yet. An article written by Mac Slavo of SHTFplan predicts that the cost of living could more than QUADRUPLE over the next little while. So if you think its bad nowhang on, youre in for a bumpy ride. The first step to moving towards a non-consumer lifestyle is to embrace your cheap side. I wrote about this last year, and it bears repeating: The key to success is your attitude. Hard-core frugality is not just making a choice to buy the generic brand of laundry soap instead of a jug of Tide with scent beads. Hard-core frugality is buying the ingredients to make 5 times the amount of laundry soap for half the price of that name-brand detergent, all the while LOVING the fact that Proctor and Gamble are not getting your money. Being a black belt in frugality takes creativity and an optimistic outlook. It should never be some grim, sad thing that you have to do. It should be something that you choose to do. By finding joy in your non-consumerism, you will be far more successful at it. It becomes a game that you win if you can do something for free that others spend money on. When you feel like you require less, then you are happy with less. This means that you have to spend less time working at things you may not truly enjoy to pay for the things that you never actually needed in the first place. This means that the money that you have goes a lot further. (source) So, I am setting forth on a journey of non-consumerism. Our budget will be very tight over the next little while as we overcome the stumbling blocks that life has thrown us. We are setting up our own Personal Austerity Plan, and because weve done it before, it shouldnt be too difficult. We are going to drop our expenses radically, and were going to have a great time doing it. Here are 12 cuts to consider, from a previous article. Financial downturns happen. And theyre going to be happening more and more often. They are nothing to be ashamed of sometimes circumstances are beyond your control, sometimes you make bad decisions, and sometimes you are just propelled along by a floundering economy. It doesnt matter how or why your financial issues occurred it is your response to these occurrences that sets the course for a happy life. Ill be getting away, somewhat, from the news stories. Im going to be documenting our lifestyle changes in a series called The Austerity Diary, which I hope that you will enjoy. This website is made wonderful by the contributions that many of my favorite readers leave in the comments, so I cant wait to read your ideas about the different topics discussed. Health still is, and will always remain, a priority. Frugality doesnt have to mean Ramen noodles we can still eat a mostly organic diet, even on a tight budget. Preparedness and an awesome pantry full of nutritious food will see us through the rough spots. Over the next few months, I hope that you find inspiration from our journey to leave consumerism behind and lead a life that is even more self sufficient than before. I dont have a big farm in the country, but a tiny little house in a small town. I think many of us may be living in a place that is not our ideal location, but this doesnt mean that we must sigh and write off our dreams of self-sufficiency. Dont allow yourself to be limited by your geography! The best way to resist the ever-encroaching government is to live your life in a way that they become completely unnecessary to your existence. Refuse to take part in the nations economic collapse. Take control of your life by taking control of meeting your own needs. Forget Wal-mart and the Big Box stores, say goodbye to Big Food live simply and well, on your own terms. Daisy Luther is a freelance writer and editor.

3	Expanding Covert Warfare Makes Us Less SafeRon Paul Unfortunately it is not a shift toward peace, but rather to an even more deadly and disturbing phase in the war on terror.Surely attacks on foreign countries will increase as a result of this move, but more and more the strikes will take place under cover of darkness and outside the knowledge of Congress or the American people. The move also represents a further blurring of the lines between the military and intelligence services, with the CIA becoming more like a secret military unto itself. This is a very troubling development. In 2010, I said in a speech that there had been a CIA coup in this country. The CIA runs the military, the drone program, and they are in drug trafficking. The CIA is a secretive government all on its own. With this new expanded Defense Intelligence Agency presence overseas it will be even worse. Because the DIA is operationally under control of the Pentagon, direct Congressional oversight of the program will be more difficult. Perhaps this is as intended. The CIA will be training the DIA in its facilities to conduct operations overseas. Much of this will include developing targeting data for the presidents expanding drone warfare program. President Obama said recently of Israels strikes against the Palestinians in Gaza, No country on Earth would tolerate missiles raining down on its citizens from outside its borders. This announcement by the administration amounts to precisely that: the USintends to rain down ever more missiles on citizens overseas. I believe what the president says about Israel is true everywhere, so what about those overseas who live in fear of our raining missiles? How will they feel about the United States? Is it not possible that we may be inviting more blowback by expanding the covert war overseas? Does that make us safer? An exhaustive study earlier this year by Stanford and New YorkUniversity law schools found that US drone strikes on Pakistan are damaging and counterproductive, potentially creating more terrorists than they kill. Its recommendations of a radical re-appraisal of the program obviously fell on deaf ears in the administration. Thousands of new DIA spies are to be hired and placed undercover alongside their CIA counterparts to help foment ever more covert wars and coups in foreign lands. Congress is silent. Where will it all end? linkwithin_text=Related Articles:

Hey, look at that cow over there, one fairgoer reportedly said, pointing out a prize-winning Hereford that, along with the several dozen other farm animals nearby, was more physically active, satisfied, alert, and more recently bathed than any human on the 250-acre fairgrounds. Whoa, hes a big fella. Get a picture of me with the cow. Sources confirmed that, compared to other fair attendees, the livestock ate less food off the ground as well.

When Wilson saw a soldier boarding the flight and making his way back to Coach, he quickly talked to the airline to make sure that the veteran got upgraded to First Class. The soldier was humbled and shocked by Wilsons heartwarming gesture, and took to social media later in the day to thank him for his kindness. Russell Wilson was on my flight back to Seattle and he brought me up to first class. Mad respect! #clutch, Kane Bernas tweeted. The famous football star was quick to respond. Anytime KaneThanks for serving our great country by serving with the Army! #GoUSA @AlaskaAir, Wilson tweeted back. What do you think? Do you support Russell Wilson for standing up for what he believes and going above and beyond to show his gratitude for our men and women in uniform?

1	Rockets players held a team press conference Tuesday to express their shock, confusion, and disgust at discovering shooting guard Tracy McGrady masturbating vigorously in the darkness of the team's tape room while viewing recordings of his recent stellar 41-point performance. 'We were walking down the hallway like usual and heard a bunch of moaning and shouting coming the tape room, so we opened up the door and there was T-Mac with his warm-ups around his ankles, churning himself with both hands,' said small forward Shane Battier. 'He just kept grunting 'Put it through the rim. Again. Give it the soft touch. Oh, Tracy, you're so good. Don't tell me you're going to take it to the hole again. I'm not ready for that yet.'' Rookie Carl Landry, who has played an important role as a reserve, said he was happy he had to sit out with a bruised left knee, claiming that there was no chance McGrady could have masturbated to him. 
3	Does The IMF Actually Want To Cause A Greek Debt Default?By Michael Snyder What is going on in Europe is a perfect example of this. If everyone was negotiating honestly, I believe that a Greek debt deal would have been reached by now. As this endless crisis has stretched on month after month, it has become increasingly apparent that more is going on here than meets the eye. In particular, the IMF has been standing in the way of a deal time after time. So what do IMF officials want? Are they looking for the unconditional surrender of this new Greek government in order to send a message to other governments that would potentially defy them? Or could it be possible that the IMF actually wants a Greek debt default for some other insidious reason? When the latest Greek proposal was embraced with enthusiasm by EU officials, many hoped that this meant that the crisis would soon be resolved. But it turns out that there is still one very important player that is not happy, and that is the IMF. The following comes fromthe Wall Street Journal Greeces plan calls for reducing the deficits in its pension system and government budget by relying heavily on raising taxes and social-security contributions, whereas the IMF wanted bigger spending cuts. The Washington-based IMF has said Greeces economy is already too heavily taxed and that too many additional tax increases would hurt economic growth, making it harder to pay down Greeces debt. It is still short of everything that should be expected, IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said Monday, suggesting Greece will have to modify its proposals significantly to win the IMFs backing. So what would make the IMF happy? Would anything short of total capitulation by the Greek government suffice? Meanwhile, members of Syriza are expressing a high level of frustration with the compromises that Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has already agreed to. At this point, there is even doubt whether the current Greek proposal could get through the Greek parliament. The following comes fromBloomberg Some of Syrizas more radical and populist lawmakers expressed opposition Tuesday to the proposal as the deals backers called on members to see the bigger picture. Personally, I cannot support such an agreement that is contrary to our election promises, Dimitris Kodelas, a Syriza lawmaker associated with former Maoists, said in an interview. I do not care about the consequences of my decision. Despite all of the optimism that we have seen this week, the odds of a Greek debt deal getting pushed through are looking slimmer by the day. And even if a deal somehow miraculously happens, all it would really mean is that the can has been kicked down the roadfor a few more months The final tranche of cash from the existing bailout should be enough to meet repayments due to the IMF and European Central Bank through the end of August. But the Greek government will then have to find more than two billion euros for both institutions in September and October. If this week concludes with agreement between Greece and its creditors, it wont be long before the next chapter in this drama, said Angus Campbell, senior analyst at FxPro. And no matter what happens by the end of this month, it is a virtual certainty that the economic depression in Greece will just continue to deepen. At this point, normal economic activity in the nation has pretty much ground to a halt. Just consider the following excerptfrom a recent Zero Hedge article For Greek banks, mortgage loans left unserviced by strategic defaulters have become a particular headache, especially since the Syriza-led government says it is committed to protecting low-income homeowners from foreclosures on their properties. Theres a real issue of moral hazard...Around 70 percent of restructured mortgage loans arent being serviced because people think foreclosures will only be applied to big villa owners, one banker said. For a long time, I have been warning that the next major economic crisis would begin in Europe before spreading across the entire globe. Greece has a relatively small economy, but Italy, Spain and France are going down the exact same road that Greece has gone. And what IMF officials are doing right now is that they are setting a precedent for future debt negotiations that they know are almost certainly coming with other countries in the future. Sadly, most of my readers (being Americans) dont really grasp the importance of what is going on over in Europe. We are watching a horrific train wreck unfold in slow-motion, and what is going to happen over the next few weeks is going to have massive implications for the entire planet. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog. 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. Heres the thing about asking the right question. It always contains the answer. The trick is knowing the right questions to ask. Few are able to do so. Its a gift really. I respect that. Take the path taken by Iceland. Sadly, most of my readers (being Americans) dont really grasp the importance of what is going on over in Europe. Please Michael, give *your* readers some credit. I would certainly agree that most Americans are clueless, but they arent the ones reading in the venues that publish Mr. Snyders articles. We may be few, but we are proud to be well informed in a world full of disinformation and fluff. For a long time, I have been warning that the next major economic crisis would begin in Europe before spreading across the entire globe. This is about the other counties in Europe deep in hock. If the EU and Greece wanted to do a sustainable deal it would have did years ago. Raising taxes in Greece is a non starter the Greek government cant collect the taxes its owed now, If I know that, if I know that the IMF knows that. 
2	Hannity Leaks Shocking Video Of Obama Praising Islam [WATCH] Throughout his two terms as president, Barack Obama has insisted that he is a Christian man. Yet his actions tell a remarkably different storyhe seems to attack Christianity every time he gets the chance. And he praises Islam with the same enthusiasm. Obama has always denied having personal ties to the religion, but a new video released by Fox News host Sean Hannity paints an entirely different picture. The four-minute video compilation shows Obama repeatedly praising Islam, calling it the religion of peace. We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world, Obama says in the clip, arguing, Islam has always been a part of Americas story. Since our founding, Muslim Americans have enriched the United States, he argued. Watch the clip below and tell us what you think. Is Obama clearly hiding something? 
1	During Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, players on the Miami Heat confirmed Wednesday that they were wholly unprepared for the aggressive brand of basketball played by the chainsaw-wielding members of the Indiana Pacers squad. Going into this game, we were planning on using our superior ball movement to neutralize Indianas size advantage and get around their defenders, but when their starting five walked out onto the court with revving chainsaws in handthere just wasnt a way for us to anticipate that, said Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade as his screaming teammate Chris Bosh was set upon by a seemingly berserk Roy Hibbert. We knew theyd be physical, but theyve really taken things to a new level with these chainsaws. I mean, LeBron [James] has lost a leg, both of his arms, and most of his face; theyve succeeded in completely taking him out of the game. At press time, in spite of having suffered numerous gruesome amputations and substantial blood loss, the Heat had jumped out to an early lead. 
2	Bill Clinton Caught Backing Shariah Law In The Most Disturbing Way Possible According to reports, former President Bill Clinton has collected millions in fees from a Dubai-based, multinational firm that teaches Islamic Law in over 100 schools throughout the Middle East, Asia and Africa. An investigation by The Daily Caller revealed that Clinton collected approximately $5.6 million from the firm GEMS Education. Records also show, however, that the Islamic organization also donated millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation, which is co-chaired by Bill and Hillary Clinton. His biggest paycheck from the closely-held companywhich is incorporated in the Cayman Islandswas in 2014 when he pocketed $2.1 million, The Daily Caller reported. GEMS Education promotes Islam as a central tenet of its curriculum, and even their financial statements abide by the rules of Sharia. That law dictates that one-eighth of its proceeds be funneled toward spreading the word of Islam. This new revelation raises a number of questions, but Daily Caller analyst Stephen Coughlin summed it up pretty well with one inquiry: Why would Bill Clinton be participating in programs that teach Shariah in foreign countries where that is the specific objective of the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS and al-Qaida? What do you think of these new reports? Do the Clintons need to be kept far away from the White House? 
2	Obama Goes After This Top Army General After He Takes THIS Massive Stand Against Him According to a recent interview with Fox News, one U.S. Army general has come forward to admit that the rise of the Islamic State terror group can be directly attributed the Obamas decision to prematurely withdraw military forces from Iraq. Its frustrating to watch it, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno said in an interview. I got back to the work we did in 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 and we go it to a place that was really good. Violence was low, the economy was growing, politics looked like it was heading in the right direction. If we had stayed a little more engage, I think maybe it might have been prevented, Odiemo told Fox, criticizing Obamas recommendation to withdraw. Ive always believed the United States played the role of honest broker between all the groups and when we pulled ourselves out, we lost that role. Odierno also claimed that the administrations decision to continue to cut troops is still impacting the Armys ability to do its job. What do you think? Does Obama need to be removed from the White House immediately? 
2	Journalist Calls Out Obama For Doing Exactly What He Said He Wouldnt Do [VIDEO] President Obama has done everything he can to silence his critics on the press, but at a recent press conference, he could not stop ABC News chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl from speaking his mind. He criticized President Obama for slamming former president George W. Bush while he was campaigning for the presidency, arguing that he was abusing the powers of the executive branch and bypassing Congress. When you were running for president, you said, The biggest problems we are facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through Congress at all and thats what I intend to reverse, Karl began. So my question to you, has Congress inability to do anything significant given you a green light to push the limits of executive power, even a duty to do so? Before Obama could answer, Karl pushed further. Or put another way, does it bother you more to be accused of being an imperial president pushing those limits or to be accused of being a do-nothing president who couldnt get anything done because he faced dysfunctional Congress? Karls question appears less like an insult and more like support, but it does call out the immense hypocrisy we have seen under President Obama. Im bound by the Constitution, Obama answered. Im bound by separation of powers. Theres some things we cant do. Congress has the power of the purse, for example. What I am consistently going to do, is wherever I have the legal authorities to make progress on behalf of middle class Americans and folks working to get in the middle classIm going to seize those opportunities and thats what I think the American people expect me to do. What do you think? Is Obama dodging the real issue here? How does negotiating with Iran help the middle class? 
1	Determined to circumvent Justice Department action forestalling the release of his powerful new operating system, Microsoft CEO and evil genius Bill Gates dropped Windows 98, coded into liquid form, into New York City's water supply sometime this past weekend. Bill Gates reveals his sinister water-contamination plan to his legions of Microsoft underlings. 'Excellent,' said Gates, watching his scheme unfold on a 30-foot video screen deep within Microsoft's Redmond, WA, compound. 'Everything is going exactly according to plan.' Doctors say the risk to New Yorkers who consume Windows-tainted water is considerable. 'As little as three ounces of water can carry the entire Windows 98 installer file into the drinker's cerebral cortex,' said Dr. Terry Braithwaite of New York's Mt. Sinai Hospital. 'Once this insidious operating system enters a person's brain, it may take years to fully rebuild his or her original neurological programming, and even then, old files can remain in their memories for years.' According to New York water commissioner Glenn Portnoy, the Susquehanna and Catskill reservoirs were contaminated with the software in question late Saturday night, rendering 100 percent of the city's taps Windows-compatible only. Those living in any of the city's five boroughs, Portnoy said, are now at risk of having the system installed in their bodies by drinking, cooking with, or even showering with New York City water. 'Residents of New York!' said Gates in a televised address early Monday morning. 'Some of your neighbors, your friends, your own family members have not yet joined us in operating within our glorious system. Why not? Is something affecting their judgment? Are they perhaps... thirsty?' 'Water,' Gates added. 'The source of all life.' Gates then emitted a sinister, high-pitched laugh and faded out, returning televisions across New York to their regular programming with the push of a button. The Gatesignal looms over the Manhattan skyline. Justice Department officials said they plan to come down hard on the software giant for its latest controversial move. 'Not only is tampering with a major metropolitan area's water supply illegal,' U.S. attorney Joel Klein said, 'but mass, involuntary bio-installation of operating-system software is a gross violation of federal antitrust law.' Klein said Microsoft has also taken steps to prevent rival Netscape from placing its web browser in New York's reservoirs, an act he said may constitute a further illegal monopolistic trade practice. If found guilty of dispatching winged Microsoft henchmen to block Netscape's access to the reservoirs, Microsoft may face fines of up to $670 million. Gates refused to respond to the allegations, but spoke directly to the people of New York via Microsoft's Windows 98 brainwave transmitter, saying, 'Command priority reformat unit sub-Klein-delete//DELETE: A-Priority.' Klein's whereabouts are currently unknown. Despite Microsoft's tainting of their water supply, New Yorkers seem relatively unfazed. 'There is nothing wrong with having Windows 98 in my body,' said a glassy-eyed Queens woman identifying herself as '7398473289348390-98.01.' 'Windows 98 is good. Where do I want to go today, O Gateslord?' Added the woman: 'Invalid sector error Type-41.'

1	In preparation for the highly anticipated AFC playoff game with the Denver Broncos, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco announced Thursday that he is already working on an apology that will express heartfelt regret for the ignoble ending to retiring linebacker Ray Lewiss career. Ive been plugging away on a couple of drafts this week, but I definitely want to focus on what a great teammate Ray has been and how bad I feel that hes going out like this, said Flacco, adding that Lewis deserves better than to force and recover a critical fourth-quarter Denver fumble only to watch helplessly from the sidelines as Flacco throws a pick-six interception on the following play, bringing the future Hall of Famers 17-year NFL career to a discouraging close. Once Ive got it all worked out, Im thinking Ill apologize before kickoff, because he definitely wont want to hear from me after all those muffed snaps. According to team sources, Flaccos apology to Lewis is just one of many being contemplated by the quarterback, who is reportedly working on separate offerings of remorse to teammates, coaches, and Ravens ownership for Saturdays loss, as well as to the city of Baltimore for the six-year contract extension he will receive this offseason. 
3	Americas Student Loan RacketStephen Lendman, Contributor It explains a disturbing government/corporate partnership. Students are exploited for profit. Providers are enriched. For many, rising tuition and fees make higher education unaffordable. Others need large loans to attend. As a result, they become debt entrapped. Some face burdens up to $100,000 or higher. If unpaid after 30 years, its a $500,000 obligation. If one defaults or declares bankruptcy, its unforgiven. Bondage is permanent. Lenders thrive from defaults. Wages can be garnished. So can portions of 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. Education today grows more unaffordable. Many students are priced out and cant attend. Others become debt entrapped. Growing numbers remain there for life. A predatory system fleeces them. Principal, accrued interest, late payment and collection agency penalties create enormous burdens to repay. Around year-end 2011, student debt exceeded $1 trillion. Its staggering. It increases nearly $3,000 per second. It exceeds credit card and auto loan obligations. Its second only to outstanding mortgage debt. Its rising exponentially. A lost generation threatens. Its part of the grand scheme to transfer maximum wealth to Americas super-rich. Its been ongoing for decades. Under Obama, it has accelerated. On May 12, The New York Times addressed the issue. Titled A Generation Hobbled by the Soaring Cost of College, writers Andrew Martin and Andrew Lehren overall did a credible job worth reading. Ohio Northern Universitys Kelsey Griffith was mentioned. To start paying off her $120,000 in student debt, she is already working two restaurant jobs and will soon give up her apartment here to live with her parents. Her mother, who co-signed on the loans, is taking out a life insurance policy on her daughter. Griffith knew college costs were high. She never imagined owing $900 a month after graduating. No one told me that, she said. Nearly every baccalaureate candidate borrows to attend. Most cant imagine a future unprecedented financial burden. Ninety-four percent of students who earn a bachelors degree borrow to pay for higher education up from 45 percent in 1993. According to Consumer Financial Protection Bureau deputy director Rajeev Date: If one is not thinking about where this is headed over the next two or three years, you are just completely missing the warning signs. He compares student loans to risky mortgages. Its extraordinary growth surprised many. Its roots, in fact, are deep. Its cast of characters includes college marketing officers, state and federal lawmakers, administration officials, and predatory lenders, guarantors, servicers, and collection companies. Loans are easy to get. Theyre tough to service. Theyre not forgiven. For many in todays job market, theyre impossible. Onerous debt escalates to greater amounts. A vicious circle entraps graduates and dropouts, many for life. Since crisis conditions erupted, states and cities nationwide slashed budgets. Education paid heavily. Adjusted for inflation, spending per college student reached a 25-year low. At the same time, tuition and fees keep rising exponentially. If current trends continue through 2016, the average cost of a public college (education) will have more than doubled in the last 15 years. Students and parents are unprepared. So-called experts claim not attending college is worse than graduating with debt. They, of course, have none to repay, and feel secure in well-paid jobs in an unfriendly environment for new grads. Obama let a bad situation fester. Last October, he offered pathetic relief. Repayment schedules were relaxed slightly. Only federal loans are affected. Students in default dont qualify. Moreover, for everyone who does, two or more fall behind in payments. A bad situation grows worse. At most for the few qualifiers, savings are miniscule. At most, theyre about one-half of 1% on interest. Nearly 10% of borrowers who began repayments in 2009 defaulted in two years. Its double the 2005 rate. Some worry about the student loan system replicating the housing crisis. Doing so would have enormous economic implications. Economists say the issue hangs over the (economy) like a dark cloud for a generation of college graduates and indebted dropouts. Major purchases are delayed or abandoned. At issue is repaying student debt forever, according Bowling Green State University dropout Chelsea Grove. She owes $70,000. Shes working three part-time jobs. Shes not going back. She cant afford it. Twenty-three-year old Chistina Hagan is an Ohio lawmaker. She also attends Malone University. Shell graduate shortly with over $65,000 in debt. Despite earning $60,000 a year, shell take a waitress job to service her $1,000 a month obligation. For her, it includes credit card debt. Nationwide from 2001 2011, state and local per student financing dropped 24%. Over the same period, state school tuition and fees rose 72%. Ohio State University gets 7% of its budget from Columbus. A decade ago it was 15%. In 1990, it was 25%. Decades earlier at some state universities, students attended free. Todays financial reality creates enormous burdens. At issue is handling costs and repayment obligations. Then its about finding decent jobs too few in number. Few understand what theyll face. Colleges recruit students aggressively. Financial aid is touted. Fine print language is a minefield to understand. Some are written in a manner that suggests the student is getting a great deal, by blurring the line between grants and loans or not making clear how much the student may have to pay or borrow. Whats portrayed as doable and normal, in fact, becomes onerous and unmanageable. Annual tuition increases arent factored in. Neither is inflation and high interest rates. College admissions staff dont explain. While there are standardized disclosure forms for buying a car or a house or even signing up for a credit card, no such thing exists for colleges. College costs are complex. Besides rising tuition and fees, a vast array of grants and loans and a financial-aid system that discounts tuition for most students (use hard to understand) opaque formulas. Moreover, colleges avoid discussing affordability issues and possible future debt obligations. Growing numbers are like Wanda McGill. She stopped opening her student loan bills. Shes not sure how much she owes but thinks its about $100,000. She cant service it. After exhausting her funds, she dropped out of DeVry Universitys Columbus branch. Now she earns $8.50 an hour. I was promised the world and was given a garbage dump to clean up, she said. Like my life was not already screwed up with welfare and all. Shes not alone. Epidemic conditions rage across America. An Occupy Student Debt protest joined other OWS campaigns. Its website What You Need To Know section says: We did what we were told to do and followed our dreams, but we are now trapped by what was meant to be an investment in our futures, not a noose. Obamas recent student loan reform has done nothing for those in default, or those of us with private (bank-backed) loans through Sallie Mae, Citibank, and so on. If we default, we cannot rent or buy homes, or even find jobs with the 60% of employers that check credit. Our professional licenses (i.e. nursing/teaching) can be revoked. And with the fees assigned to defaulted loans that double the amount owed, getting back on ones feet is nearly impossible. Not only would voluntarily defaulting do nothing to solve the underlying problem of out-of-control student loan debt, but defaulting can result in any number of detrimental outcomes, including, but not limited to the consequences listed above. Todays crisis spread from for-profit institutions to others. However, former ones represent the worst problem. Students complain theyre mislead. Lawsuits charge fraud, deception, doctoring attendance records, or offering near-worthless degrees. As a result, their students are twice as likely to default. Among baccalaureate candidates, only 22% succeed in six years. At non-profit private schools, its 65%, and at public ones its 55%. According to American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers associate executive director Barmak Nassirian: Mainstream higher ed can really self-righteously look at the big problem out there and say, The problem lies with the other guy. But there are all kinds of unfortunate practices in traditional higher education that are equally as problematic that are reaching the crisis point. Political Washington largely ignores the problem. Its done little to curb abuses. Action belies lip service. A sinkhole of trouble deepens. A lost generation threatens. Higher education today involves crushing debt burdens too onerous to repay. Rising poverty, unemployment, few job prospects, and a system sucking wealth to Americas super-rich makes todays crisis unmanageable. Education beyond secondary school once meant brighter futures. Today it ensures debt entrapment too demanding to repay. Neoliberal harshness polarized American society along class lines. It also affects Europe. In modern times, its harder than ever to cope. For growing numbers of deeply indebted students its impossible. Their dreams became no-escape nightmares.

The video shows a group of Syrian terrorists attempting to shoot some mortar rounds. Due to their obvious lack of skill and experience, the round does not eject and instead detonates in the tube. A massive explosion results, and takes out almost everything in the immediate area. Viewers are left only to see the scene literally turn to dust. You can, however, listen to the shock and terror that ensues. What do you think of this video? 
3	Busted! Soros-Backed Pro Clinton Group Caught Funding Violent Protests to Smear Sanders and TrumpBy Jay Syrmopoulos Last night, without consulting local police, Donald Trump abruptly cancelled a rally in Chicago in the face of massive and overwhelmingly peaceful student-led protests, an email to MoveOn.org members stated. Were being flooded with aggressive emails and social media posts from Trump supporters. Some of them are threatening. We refuse to be intimidated by Donald Trump, Fox News, or anyone else So heres the plan: Well support MoveOn.org members to call out and nonviolently protest Trumps racist, bigoted, misogynistic, xenophobic, and violent behavior and show the world that America rejects Trumps hate. And to keep it going, were counting on you to donate whatever you can to cover the costs of everything involved the organizers, signs, online recruitment ads, training, and more. The email asks for a donation of $3 to continue the campaign against Trump. So what could be sinister about that, right? But for those versed in far left ideology, Rules for Radicals, written by Saul Alinsky, there is no mistaking the hallmarks of left-wing radicalism. Clinton was a follower of Alinskys political philosophy and developed a relationship with him in the late 1960s. If you read some of the left-leaning writings of people like Saul Alinksy, you understand exactly what theyre doing. This is part of the plan, former presidential candidate Ben Carson said. In light of the recent violence that has transpired at a Trump event in St. Louis, the subsequent canceling of the Chicago rally, a closer analysis of the dynamic at play is warranted. This past weekend, political operative Roger Stone stated that the disruptive violence at the Trump rally was actually a political false flag event staged by the Clinton campaign in an attempt to discredit rival Bernie Sanders. The entire conflagration in Chicago is a Hillary Clinton operation, Stone said during a phone interview with Alex Jones. Frankly, I cant see Bernie Sanders having anything to do with it this is not his handiwork. Stone went on to implicate George Soros, MoveOn, David Brock and Media Matters for America and the reclusive millionaire, Jonathan Lewis. Remember that Moveon.Org was an organization founded with the distinct purpose of fighting back against the effort to impeach President Bill Clinton, thus allowing America move on to issues of substance, with billionaire European financier George Soros contributing millions to the progressive organization. This election cycle, the group has officially endorsed Bernie Sanders for President after members overwhelmingly voted for him in a poll against the other candidates vying for the Democratic presidential nomination. But that doesnt mean the leadership doesnt have a strategic agenda that differs from that of their member base. The fact that the groups members have endorsed Sanders actually gives the organizations leadership room to operate in a manner that could actually hurt Sanders and bolster the efforts of longtime ally Hillary Clinton. So while officially backing Bernie Sanders, the traditionally Clinton aligned organization sent out a fundraising emails regarding the Chicago protests of a Donald Trump rally Friday that resulted in the Republican presidential front-runner canceling his scheduled event, with the group admitting that they provided protesters and material support for the protests against Trump. See what they did there. A group that has officially supported Sanders, but is historically considered a Clintonian organization, is materially supporting mass protests against Trump. So, if things devolve into violence at Trump rallies that MoveOn.org is advocating and supporting protesting, which presidential candidates will ultimately suffer? Obviously Sanders and Trump leaving Clinton to be the main benefactor of these strategic moves. Of course, Trump and Bernie supporters are no angels, and they are playing right into the game. Trump has, in fact, instigated violence at his own rallies in response to these protesters. In August, Trump issued a warning to protesters at his rallies, I dont know if Ill do the fighting myself, or if other people will. In November, he said a protester who disrupted one of his events should have been roughed up. Then, in February, he clearly went over the top by saying, in regards to a protester, Id like to punch him in the face. Then in February, he managed to top the previous statement by telling a rally, If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them. . . . I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees. However, make no mistake that the events youre seeing transpire at Trump rallies are being orchestrated in part by a political elite Clinton campaign struggling to remain relevant in the face of internal scandal, Bernies surprising populist appeal, and the unexpected Trump juggernaut. Jay Syrmopoulos is a political analyst, 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 TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared, Ben Swanns Truth in Media, Truth-Out, Raw Story, MintPress News, as well as many other sites. You can follow him on Twitter @sirmetropolis, on Facebook at Sir Metropolis and now on tsu The comments by Trump, I guarantee you, are supported by his followers. Thats why they like him. Trump is just talking crap and any person with their head screwed on knows that. However, the Left are using it as an opportunity to drag him down. Trump just needs to watch his language a little and tone it down. Doing give these morons an excuse. the Left are using it as an opportunity to drag him down. Trump is his own worse enemy. See link above. No help needed. I agree with Dr. Carson here. I havent heard Trump say anything to encourage this violence and I believe that its mainly coming from the regressive left also. I plan on voting 3rd party but all this hatred thats being thrown on Trump from all sides is BS and doing nothing but making him stronger. All the times Trump has called for violence at his rallies There are videos showing Trump egging on his supporters to hit people. He does this at every rally. The media goes on as if this sort of this is something new in politics. It isnt. If there were investigative journalist worth a damn anymore they would research decides back to see organized demonstrations and protesting have been part of the political landscape for decades. Paid for or not! Its a little different this time, we are being treated to a scripted Three Ring Circus to keep us from falling asleep and losing our interest in the theatrics (remember Obama floating the idea of mandatory voting?), and probably to get enough people disgusted with the politicians they will be ready for global management. Sorors always finds thugs to pay professional provocateurs looking to make more so they must perform according the script they are given. Bernie is not a zionist; he supports Palestinian rights as well. Bernie, like all NWO politicians want to have their cake and eat it too. Bernie kowtows to the Banksters, voted to make the Patriot Act permanent, supports mandatory vaccinations, supports Israeli actions in Gaza, is pushing for a Trojan global tax he supports rights only as a matter of convenience. Hes NOT NWO The NWO is wholly a system created and controlled by the apex elites, the international bankers. Bernie used his position as a committee member to dismantle an Audit The Fed bill (Federal Reserve) watering down legal provisions that would have forced some transparency on the Banking Cartel who operate OUTSIDE of the control of the public and elected officials ever since they hijacked the authority to control our nations currency in 1913. Why would he do that and why did he vote to make the Patriot Act permanent?? Watch what they DO, not what they say and think about Aaron Russos America Freedom to Fascism. he voted against the PATRIOT act and for the Audit The Fed bill. Check you facts I have checked my facts. According to voting records compiled by Cindy Sheehan, Bernie voted to make the Patriot Act PERMANENT. In a videotaped interview, Ron Paul expressed his disappointment that Sanders deliberately watered down one iteration of an Audit The Fed bill. Look it up, both interviews, Sheehan and Paul, are on youtube and take note of the many other red flags revealed by Sheehan, a sincere anti-war progressive and self-described socialist. What versions of socialism philosophy are being offered? Bona-fide anti-war and transparency advocates like Sheehan and Cynthia McKinney, exposing false flags, or Bankster techno feudal Orwellian socialism? Bernie believes in mandatory vaccinations and has never said a word about the Fed being a cartel. Double think. Bernie watered down the Audit the Fed bill. Maybe Anonymous can helpShutdown moveon.org that is. There was nothing peaceful about these protests. If Trump had shown up and that guy got on stage with the Secret Service there, someone would have been shot! They were also intimidating the people trying to leave from the parking deck when the whole thing was called off. The beginning of malthusian consequences and consequences of demographic warfare, the age old weapon. Birth control is needed for real change and to see how irrelevant 20th century economic thought is today. Sounds like Bull to me white people have already achieved negative population growth all over the world whereas all the other races (except the Chinese) are exploding. Good information about Hillarys dirty tricks here, but the authors association of Clinton with far left ideology is just silly; it reeks of the false left/right paradigm, which only serves a divide-and-conquer agenda, while corporations and Wall Street continue to exploit the bickering rabble. it reeks of the false left/right paradigm, which only serves a divide-and-conquer agenda. Indeed. Exhausting isnt it? As soon as I saw it (protests at Trump Rally) I knew this was what they were trying to do! An attempt to discredit Sanders. What a bunch of nonsense. Hillary has said long ago in public that soros was one of her sponsors. This is hardly a secret or surprise. Shes following the law, just as the republicans do. Lining their pockets funding their campaigns, for favors. Bernie is the only guys saying to put and end to it. These prostersshould be in Washington DC demanding Hillarys prosecution for all the felonies she has committed,your right about the rioters,it does sound very much like something Clintons supporters would since George Soros wants his Pride and Joy in the White House,a vote for Hillary is a vote for George Soros,he would like nothing more than to be in the Whie House working closel with Bill and Hillary,as he did the frist time when Bill was in office it was George who was giving her advice on foreign affairs when she was Secretary of State and the list goes on So, Hillary hitched up with the lefty Alinsky after finishing up her gig as a Goldwater Girl. Well that makes sense. As much sense as the rest of this piece of garbage. well of course Its always Clintons fault. So is climate change and Senator Sanders has all the qualities of a true leader including honesty, humility, authenticity, energy, intelligence, experience, kindness, fairness, wisdom, and he is passionate about helping every child succeed, thus building a stronger and brighter USA for future generations. Senator Sanders received 86% of the vote in his home state due to his character! Vote smart! Vote Bernie! You may not have heard, but Putin has put out a warrant for Soros, dead or alive. Soros has messed up Russias economy. I personally hope that someone delivers Soros to Putin, dead or alive. 
1	In the midst of a crisis that may have reached a breaking, point Tuesday afternoon, linguists, and grammarians, everywhere say they are baffled, by the sudden and seemingly random, appearance of commas, in our nation's sentences. The epidemic of errant punctuation has spread, like wildfire, since signs of the epidemic first, appeared in a Washington Post article, on Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben, Bernanke. 'This, is an unsettling trend,' columnist William Sa,fire, told reporters. 'We're seeing a collapse of the grammatical rules that have, held, the English language, together for, centuries.' Experts warn, that if this same, phenomenon, should occur with ellipses 
1	Thomas Hill, publicist for the Scarsdale & Loeb Group, expressed his excitement over a great big pile of crap Thursday. 'I'm really excited about the marketing possibilities for this enormous heap of worthless crap,' said Hill. 'There's a lot of buzz in Hollywood about it. Confidentially, Paramount has expressed interest. I think crap is going to be big in '97, and this promises to be some of the best crap yet. It's really fresh and exciting stuff.' Hill was paid $600 by the crap's agent for the minute-long remark. 
2	Largest Police Union In The World Puts It All On The Line For Trump The Fraternal Order of Police made the monumental decision to endorse Donald Trump on Friday, saying that Trump understands and supports our priorities, and our members believe he will make America safe again. Trump had responded to a 12-page questionnaire from the organization and then met with its leaders last month in Trump Tower. Meanwhile, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton didnt even bother to respond until after the deadline had passed. Her carelessness did not give the FOP time to distribute her answers to state lodges across the state. The FOP has not endorsed a Democratic candidate since 1996, Jim Pasco, the unions executive director, noted. His representations to us, both in his public statements about police and in our meeting with him as a follow-up to the questionnaire, he made commitments to us that he would support law enforcement if was elected, and keep our views in mind as he undertook to uphold the threshold responsibility of a president, which is to protect public safety, Pasco noted. In the questionnaire, Trump was honest. He did not always commit to supporting FOP positions. But he did offer strong support for the Second Amendment, saying that, Gun control laws are not the answer to gun violence. The police union, representing 330,000 members, made its endorsement in Nashville. Two-thirds of the board, including one representative from each of 46 states and the District, were required to vote in favor of the endorsements. Hes made a real commitment to Americas law enforcement and were proud to make a commitment to him and his campaign by endorsing his candidacy today, FOP President Chuck Canterbury said in a press release. What do you think? Do you support trump as our nations president-elect? 
1	An alarming report released Thursday by researchers at the Economic Policy Institute confirmed that, following a generation of dwindling economic opportunities and stagnant wages, the American middle class is now running dangerously low on things it can be squeezed out of. Based on our findings, the nation is heading toward a disastrous point in the next decade at which there will no longer be a single facet of our economy from which middle- class families can be further squeezed, said lead researcher Bryan Shale, adding that having already squeezed middle-income Americans out of job security, access to bank loans, high-quality education, retirement investing, and home ownership, the U.S. had nearly exhausted its already limited supply of squeezable sectors. Perhaps most distressing is that given how rapidly the middle class has been driven from upward mobility and reliable healthcare, the few areas left to squeeze them out of are negligible at best. Were scraping the bottom of the barrel here if the ability to shop at premium supermarkets, have museum memberships, or take weekend getaways is all that remains. Unless lawmakers take immediate action, were talking about the real possibility of a world in which the middle-class squeeze as we know it is complete, and the majority of Americans can be squeezed no further. The researchers confirmed, however, that the U.S. middle class is still reliably being hit from all sides. 
1	Following the launch of a Justice Department criminal probe into the CIA's alleged abuse of detainees, the intelligence agency was forced last week to complete months of previously scheduled torture over the course of one frenzied weekend. 'We were already way behind on false executions as it was,' said CIA director Leon Panetta, who was overseeing the consolidation of several human pyramids into one large one so that relentless tauntings and other dehumanizing practices could be accomplished more efficiently. 'Only three of the car batteries have any juice left, and these poor dogs are almost too tired to strike. If we weren't keeping these guys awake 24-7, there's no way we'd be able to wrap this up by Sunday.' Panetta said that if the CIA didn't finish in time, he will order a covert operative to assassinate Russian president Dmitry Medvedev to take some of the pressure off. 
2	Obama Is FURIOUS After States Ban Together To Take THIS Massive Stand Against Him As more information is revealed about the terrorist attacks in Paris, the list of states banning refugees in opposition to President Obama is growing rapidly. Our nation is facing one of the largest security threats weve seen, and Obama seems to be determined to throw away our security in an attempt to be politically correct. Our nation and our state have a shared history of providing safe haven for those displaced by conflict, but the news surrounding the Paris terror attacks reminds us of the all-too-real security threats facing America, Gov. Bruce Rauner of Illinois said in a statement. We must find a way to balance our tradition as a state welcoming of refugees while ensuring the safety and security of our citizens. But state governments are not going to put their citizens at risk willingly. According to recent reports,26 states are refusing to allow Syrian refugees into America. Of those states, 25 are led by Republican governors, and one is led by a Democrat. Below is the most recent list of states involved: 
3	More Bizarre Violence in DC: Man sets himself on fire in National MallLily Dane A woman was shot and killed Thursday by police after leading them on a wild car chase near the US Capitol. Several weeks ago, 13 people were killed in a mass shooting at the Navy Yard. And yesterday, a man lit himself on fire on the National Mall, in broad daylight in full public view. Katy Scheflen, a witness, said the man was standing alone in the center section of the Mall when he poured the contents of a gasoline can on himself and set himself on fire. She said several passing joggers tore off their shirts and attempted to smother the fire. Scheflen, a furloughed civil rights attorney for the Justice Department, said she stopped because she saw a guy with a tripod set up. She said another man, who she thought the tripod with a camera was filming, took a red can of gasoline and poured it over his head. At that point we didnt know what was going, maybe it was some sort of stage protest, Scheflen said. And then he set himself on fire and went up in flames, she said. Whoosh. Scheflen said the presence of a mounted camera gave her the impression He was aware something was about to happen. Otherwise he was filming nothing but a guy standing there. It was obviously an intentional act, she said. Somebody has a video of the whole thing. A police department spokesman said the man, whose identity has not been revealed, was conscious and breathing at the scene. MedStar Washington Hospital Center tweeted that the man was taken there and he was in critical condition. (update: The man has still not been identified, but he died of his injuries Friday night Ed.) While we still do not know the mans identity or motive, his actions are reminiscent of Mohammed Bouazizi, the young Tunisian fruit vendor who set himself on fire in front of a government building in late 2010 in protest of the harassment, abuse, and bribery local authorities inflicted upon him. His act is said to have been fueled by the chronic poverty and corruption of his country. He is viewed as a hero who inspired the Tunisian Revolution and the Arab Spring. Following Bouazizis death, the publics anger and violence intensified, leading to the resignation of then-President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. Self-immolation, or setting oneself on fire, is often done as a form of radical political protest. It is a centuries-old practice that commands sympathy and outrage; an act of despair and self-sacrifice. According to Washington D.C. based scholar Timothy Dickinson, Fire is the most dreaded of all forms of death, so the sight of someone setting themselves on fire is simultaneously an assertion of intolerability and, frankly, of moral superiority. You say I would never have the guts to do that. Its not that hes trying to tell me something, but that hes commanding me. This isnt insanity. Its a terrible act of reason. Two men set themselves on fire in protest of the recent Greek debt crisis, and the number of suicides in Greece rose by 40% during a recent 12-month period. There are at least eight other documented cases of self-immolation in protest of the European-sovereign debt crisis. Was the self-immolation that occurred in our nations capital today a suicide attempt or an act of protest? Either way, it appears that desperate times call for desperate measures.

2	Israeli Prime Minister Just Insulted Obama In A Way That Has The World Shocked Recently, the United States played a role in attempting to negotiate a cease fire between Israel and the Hamas. Unfortunately, the peace treaty ended up making America look ridiculous, when the Hamas decided to launch more rockets despite their agreement. Now, Israels Prime Minister Netanyahu has told Obama not to ever second-guess him again. The declaration was made after two Israeli soldiers were killed in the ambush. Another was captured by Hamas. Now, caught off guard, Israel has been forced to retaliate. Netanyahu stands by his claims that the Hamas should not be trusted, and he argued that they should not be offered the opportunity to negotiate, as they will likely approach any further negotiations with the same destructive intent that they just demonstrated. In fact, Netanyahu claims that he expects the U.S. and other foreign governments to support Operation Protective Edge after what theyve just demonstrated. Even Obama has deemed the recent actions of the Hamas barbaric. Its going to be very hard to put a cease-fire back together again if Israeli and the international community cant feel confident that Hamas can follow through on a cease-fire commitment, Obama told reporters. Well no doubt, Mr. President. What do you think? Is Obama nave when it comes to foreign policy? 
2	Muslim Student Challenged A Christian Speaker, Her EPIC Response Will Restore Your Faith In America [VIDEO] Now this is an interest question: Why fight an ideology with weapons while most Muslims are peaceful. This is what Brigitte Gabriel, an American journalist, author, social commentator, and activist was asked on a recent panel. Fortunately, Gabriel came equipped with some serious statistics. Watch the video below and tell us what you think of her response. 
1	Bobby Abreu's angry reaction to a purpose pitch from Boston ace Josh Beckett triggered an ugly fracas Sunday that saw both teams' benches and bullpens cleared, with the notable exception of Red Sox outfielder J.D. Drew. 'They looked like they had it under control; don't want too many cooks in the kitchen,' said Drew, who could be seen yawning and flicking sunflower seeds into a nearby water cup during the fight. 'I thought about getting in there for a second, but then I thought, nah. It didn't really directly concern me. I mean, yeah, they shoved a bunch of my teammates, but it's not like they were gonna die or anything. If someone was in mortal danger, I'd step in there. Yeah, I'd probably do that.' Drew then turned his attention to perusing his contract for opt-out clauses. 
1	Addressing the continued plight of the nations long-term unemployed, Labor Secretary Thomas E. Perez offered his assurances Tuesday that the United States still has plenty of job opportunities for people willing to outwork robots. During a morning press conference, Perez told reporters that while he sympathizes with the frustration felt by out-of-work Americans, the nation currently has more than 8 million jobs open to anyone who will work harder, faster, and more dependably than an industrial robot specially designed to perform the same set of tasks. If youre available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and able to repeat an extremely precise sequence of movements up to 150 million times without pause, there is work for you in this economy, said Perez, explaining that while labor force participation rates remain at a historic low, the number of open jobs for individuals who can assemble, drill, press-fit, and enamel items with exceptional speed and accuracy has only increased in recent years. Ive heard from employers across the country, and they have assured me these positions are up for grabs to any person with the ability to lift 250-ton payloads, bend steel plates into three-dimensional shapes, or withstand direct and continuous exposure to a variety of Level 4 biohazards. While Perez confirmed that workers with traditional manufacturing skills will continue to face a lean employment market that has shrunk some 35 percent since the late 1970s, he said the outlook is much brighter for those who can exert a clamping force greater than 4.5 million pounds on injection molds. Those are the kinds of occupations where were seeing a red-hot job market right now, he added. The labor secretary acknowledged that 10.3 percent of the U.S. labor force is currently either unemployed or working part-time because they cant find full-time work, a statistic he described as unfortunate and unnecessary in a nation where, he noted, there are tens of thousands of jobs available to workers willing to perform more than 80,000 consecutive arc-welding operations without deviating a single millimeter from their intended mark, and without ever stopping for food, sleep, or a day off. While Perez confirmed that workers with traditional manufacturing skills will continue to face a lean employment market that has shrunk some 35 percent since the late 1970s, he said the outlook is much brighter for those who can exert a clamping force greater than 4.5 million pounds on injection molds. Once youve surpassed the production output of the most sophisticated robots currently operating in American factories, the skys the limit, and you should have no problem securing long-term employment and supporting your family, Perez said. If, for example, you know how to pick up a sheet metal blank with your bare hands and turn it into a finished automotive component in less than 37 seconds, you should definitely start getting your rsum out to car manufacturers. There are hundreds of jobs waiting out there for you. Perez announced plans for an outreach program aimed at the estimated 40 percent of unemployed Americans who have given up looking for work, an initiative he said will educate people about the wealth of available jobs that require them to detect radiation in the long-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum, endure temperatures of up to 320 degrees Fahrenheit, or assemble highly radioactive components inside a nuclear facility. But even for people who are not physically capable of working in an oxygen-free environment or spotting an object six inches in diameter from an altitude of 20,000 feet, there are still many employment opportunities out there, according to the labor secretary. If youre unable to outperform a robot as a manual laborer, there are plenty of jobs that allow you to make a living with your brain rather than your hands, Perez said. As long as you can sit at a desk and complete in excess of 34 quadrillion calculations per second in your head, I guarantee you will be able to find work. 
2	22 Terrorist Training Camps Identified In The US... Are They In Your State? According to some very shocking new reports, there are at least 22 active terror cells inside the United States. You read that right. And the information comes straight from an FBI map. Jamaat ul-Furqa is the Islamic fundamentalist organization believed to be running the camp. The group has relationships to Al-Qaeda as well as the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organizations. In order to live in these camps, you must pledge to support a Pakistani Cleric on the International Wanted List, reports Mad World News. As early as 2012, the media confirmed 19 Jihad camps on Untied States soil. According to reports, the FBI states that their hands are tied in monitoring their activities, despite a training video that is years old, possible murders, and proof of illegal activities. If that is true, Homeland Security has known about these camps for years. The Obama administration has allegedly refused to classify the parent organizations of the camps as terrorist organizations. However, the cells have already been involved in several serious crimes, with suspected involvements in at least 10 murders. What do you think? Does Obama need to step up and start protecting our country? 
2	Obama Initiates Nation Wide Mandate FORCING Every State To Do THIS Well, President Obama is at it again. It seems he is determined to strip Americans of their rights. Now, hes acting like a full-blown dictator and attempting to interfere with the rights of individual states. According to reports, Obama is threatening what he is calling an enforcement action, which will require states to accept Syrian Refugeeswhether they like it or not. States may not categorically deny ORR-funded benefits and services to Syrian refugees, an official letter from the Office of Refugee Resettled announced in an official letter. Any state with such a policy would not be in compliance with the State Plan requirements, applicable statutes, and their own assurances, and could be subject to enforcement actions, including suspension and termination, the letter continues. Were not exactly sure what enforcement action is, but were pretty sure its crossing a line. What do you think? Are you sick of Obama acting more like a dictator than a president? 
3	10 Things That Preppers Get RightGaye Levy Everyone likes to read about someone elses mistakes so that they can learn from them. When you think about it, that is a great way to avoid common pitfalls and to save yourself some of the grief and set-backs that are bound to occur along the road to preparedness. As useful as that might be, I started giving some thought not to the mistakes that Preppers make but to the things that they get right. And there are a lot of them. Today I share with you my take on ten things that Preppers get right. I list them in no particular order although I tend to think the first and last might be the most important. 10 Traits of the Successful Prepper They Preppers approach long term survival with gusto. As busy as they might be with job and family obligations, they are laser-focused on insuring that they will be safe for the long term. They want to live and want to enjoy the bounty of life itself. To that end, they are prepared to endure hardships and are prepared to defend what is theirs. They want to live, no matter what, and want to be a productive member of society. There is always something new to learn and to keep the Preppers brain engaged. There is never a time when they say enough. As difficult as it may be at times to grasp the truth, Preppers seek knowledge and truth and relentlessly pursue just one more skill and one more fact that will help them prevail if their world goes to heck. The family as a social unit is important whether it is a family of two or a family of twenty. Preppers know that and embrace and protect the family unit because it provides a sense of belonging is well as an environment for honesty and respect. However the family unit is defined (and each of us may define family in different terms), the core ideals remain the same: responsibility, accountability and love. Every Prepper is a handyman. We fix stuff. We make things work by cobbling together odd bits and pieces into something newly purposed. We throw away nothing, lest it have some useful purpose down the road. We strive to jerry-rig our way out of just about anything sometimes with only some paracord and duct tape. The words I cant make it work do not exist in the Preppers vocabulary. Wikipedia defines compassion as the emotion that we feel in response to the suffering of others that motivates a desire to help. The so-called survivalists of old were stereotyped as loners. These days, most Preppers understand the value of being around others and feel a strong emotional connection to helping those that are unable to help themselves. This is not to say that we as a group are a bunch of bleeding hearts that will give away our hard-earned preps to anyone who comes asking. Quite the contrary. What it does mean is that we show compassion for those that are disabled, elderly, ill or simply lack the financial means to do more than a modicum of preparations. From these individuals we will seek knowledge and skills rather than physical possessions. To stay on top of the game, we must be able to move around freely and in an unencumbered manner. This means we must get regular exercise now so that we will be physically fit if we ever have to face an evacuation of bug-out situation. We must also stay nimble of mind so that rational decisions can be made quickly under the most adverse of circumstances. Most Preppers know this and work toward a goal of physical and mental fitness each and every day of their lives. Critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and rationally. For some this comes naturally, but for most, this is an acquired skill that is honed by the thoughtful examination of risks and rewards before coming to a logical and decisive solution to a problem. By considering various catastrophic scenarios in advance, Preppers make plans for dealing with the risks most inherent to their geographical location and personal circumstances. With very few exceptions, the Preppers I know live within the confines of a budget. In addition to funding their daily life and daily activities, they must fund the acquisition of supplies, outdoor gear, water storage facilities and extra food. They do this by shopping for bargains, searching for used items at thrift stores and garage sales, and by trading those items they no longer need for items they do. They practice the skill of bartering services for goods and goods for services. By doing so, they are able to acquire what they need not only for now, but for long-term survival. Preppers understand that not everyone knows everything and not everyone has every single skill they will need to prevail. For that reason, they surround themselves with other forward thinking and like minded individuals. Some of these individuals may be local and others may only be accessible virtually over the Internet. Regardless of where they are located, the vast majority of Preppers seek others in a respectful and open-minded manner. They know that when the going gets tough, they will have someone to share with and together they will watch each others backs. Having faith and having optimism go hand in hand. Whether that faith is tied to organized religion or not, it is there none the less. Coupled with the will to live, having faith is what keeps us going. It allows us to put one foot in front of the other and to keep moving forward, one baby step at a time. Some will pray while others will quietly reflect in their own manner. Faith is important and most if not all Preppers have faith. It took me awhile to come up with this list. I pondered the top traits of the Preppers I know while taking a quiet hike along the trails near where I live. I thought about the hundreds if not thousands of emails I have received these past few years and boiled down the experiences that have been shared with me into these ten things that Preppers simply get right. Chances are that you possess a majority of these traits. In fact, you may claim ownership of these traits and not even know it. Today I would like to challenge you to look at this list and to evaluate your own top Prepper traits. Celebrate those that you have and work on those that may need work. At the end of the day, if the world goes to heck, you will find that having these traits will allow you to prevail if not in comfort, than in safety. I invite you to share any traits I may have missed in the comments area below. And blessings to all of you in your pursuit of preparedness. Enjoy your next adventure through common sense and thoughtful preparation! 
1	A formal tea party, hosted by Lady Edwina Wolford-Bingham and attended by many of the finest members of London's high society, was spoiled Sunday by the appearance of an ocelot. 'Oh, dear,' said Lady Wolford-Bingham, whose father, Lord William Alfred Shropshire-Wolford, was a third cousin of Winston Churchill's. 'There appears to be an ocelot at my tea party.' In addition to 'badly scratching' Lady Catherine Norwich Baker Putnam-Howe, the angry ocelot overturned a number of tables and broke an expensive vase. 
1	Mom, 54, is evidently going to marry Jerry, the guy she's been seeing for over a year now, family sources reported Monday. 'You remember Jerry,' Mom said in a long-distance telephone call to her youngest son, Daniel Schickele, 29. 'He bought you that variety tin of popcorn last Christmas.' 'Well, we're getting married,' she added. Mom met Jerry three years ago on an over-50 singles cruise, but did not start dating him until September 2007. Since then, the two have apparently been spending more and more time together. While not much is known about Jerry, 60, those who have met him have confirmed that he seems like a pretty good guy. 'I guess he makes Mom happy,' said daughter Pam Schickele, 32, who lives in Idaho now and hasn't seen Mom in a few years. 'He's the bald one, right? Because I know she was seeing that other guy for a while, too, but he wasn't bald.' Mom, who reverted to her maiden name of Pendersen after the divorce seven years ago, did not display any strong emotion during her announcement, but seemed, on the whole, to be pleased. 'It's not like she goes on and on about him or anything, but she's fairly excited,' son Ted Schickele, 27, told reporters after learning of the upcoming Mom-Jerry nuptials. 'I know she joined his bowling league a while back, and I even heard they went on a camping trip together, so it seems like they've gotten pretty close. It's hard to say. I haven't seen her since that time me and the kids stopped by on our way back from Florida. 'That guy Jerry was there,' he added. 'He drove an SUV that looked pretty new.' Jerry, who is reportedly in some sort of sales or something, has a few grown kids of his own who will become stepbrothers and stepsisters once the marriage is finalized. 'We'll probably meet Jerry's family at the wedding,' Pam said. 'I wonder if they still live in Harrisburg, or what. I heard one of his sons is a dentist. Or a chiropractor? I can't remember.' What Jerry's children are like is 'anybody's guess,' Pam said. According to reports, the wedding plans include a modest ceremony, in which the bride and Jerry will exchange vows, followed by a three-day honeymoon in San Diego, where the couple will spend time with Jerry's mother, who lives in a retirement community there. Overall, family members have reacted to the news positively. 'He's not George Clooney or anything, but at this point I don't see why Mom should have to sit around waiting for Mr. Perfect,' Ted said. 'And Jerry seems like a nice enough guy. We watched the game together one Thanksgiving.' 'He's good for her,' Ted added. Jerry's first wife reportedly passed some years back. 'This seems pretty sudden, but I don't know,' Pam said. 'When Dad married Tina a couple years ago we all wondered how that would go over, but it wasn't such a big deal. I'm sure Mom and this Jerry guy's marriage will be okay, too.' As of press time, Dad could not be reached for comment. 
2	Trump Unleashes On Hillary, Jeb, And New York Times After Being Backed Into A Corner Donald Trump unleashed on Christmas Eve by attacking Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton, The New York Times, and Chuck Todd, the Meet the Press host. In the ridiculous @JebBush ad about me, Jeb is speaking to me during the debate, but doesnt allow my answer, which destroys him SO SAD! Poor @JebBush spent $50 million on his campaign, I spent almost nothing. Hes bottom (and gone), Im top (by a lot). Thats what U.S. needs! Next he turned to the New York Times. Third rate reporters Amy Chozick and Maggie Haberman of the failing @nytimes are totally in the Hillary circle of bias. Think about Bill! Then he brought the hammer down on Hillary. Next year will be an interesting one. I look forward to running against Hillary Clinton, a totally flawed candidate, and beating her soundly. Finally, he narrowed in on Chuck Todd. .@meetthepress and @chucktodd very dishonest in not showing the new @CNN Poll where I am at 39%, 21points higher than Cruz. Be honest Chuck! Trump left America with a message we love. I am now in Palm Beach, Florida, and will be going to church tonight. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Do you support Donald Trump for President? 
2	Glenn Beck Calls Out Obama In Epic Rant Conservative commentator Glenn Beck is known for speaking his mindespecially when it comes to his thoughts on President Barack Obama and his numerous failed policies. In a recent broadcast of his program, Beck attacked Obama for his focus on global warming at a time when American safety needs to be a top concern. Mr. President, I say this with as much respect as you deserve, Beck began. Screw global warming. The hell is wrong with you? Beck then proceeded to criticize Obama for the many issues that have grown worse under his leadership. If you actually believe that global warming is the biggest problem we face with terror all over the worldyou, sir, are either delusional or youre the dumbest son-of-a-bitch on the planet. Watch Becks rant below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with him? 
2	NFL Star Deion Sanders Puts Obama In His Place Following The Mass Shooting Following the San Bernardino shooting, which resulted in the death of over a dozen, former NFL star Deion Sanders spoke out against Obama and gun control. I dont think that guns is picking up themselves and pulling triggers on its own. I think people are doing that, said Sanders. Although his grammar might not be perfect, he definitely knows what hes talking about. He spoke out against Obamas recent Gun Control policy Executive Order that places extra restrictions on gun purchases. It says more about people than it says about guns. He is spot on. Criminals are going to be able to get their hands on guns no matter what. We might as well be armed to protect ourselves. Do you support the second amendment? 
1	Citing the recent finalization of Lauras divorce from her husband of 12 years, sources within the Bronwyn household confirmed Tuesday that the familys Democratic majority is now in serious jeopardy. With Eric moving out, the stage looks to be set for a swift and decisive Republican takeover of the house, said political analyst Jake Schumacher, calling the registered Democrats departure the biggest shift in the balance of power since the 2010 death of Grandpa, which ended over a decade of conservative rule at Bronwyn family gatherings. If things continue at the current rate, we could see a complete reshaping of the familys agenda on key issues such as taxes, the local school curriculum, and whether [Tea Party supporter] Aunt Marjorie needs to get off her high horse already. Schumacher added that if the girls dont come back home from college for break, the familys Democrats could be in for a major trouncing come Thanksgiving. 
3	This Is What It Feels Like To Have Your Life Savings Confiscated By The Global EliteMichael Snyder As you will see below, there are small businesses and aging retirees who have been absolutely devastated by the wealth confiscation that has taken place in Cyprus. Many businesses can no longer meet their payrolls or pay their bills because their funds have been frozen, and many retirees have seen retirement plans that they have been working toward for decades absolutely destroyed in a matter of days. Sometimes it can be hard to identify with events that are happening on the other side of the globe, but I want you to try to put yourself into their shoes for a few minutes. How would you feel if something like this happened to you? For example, just consider the case of one 65-year-old retiree that has had his life savings totally wiped out by the wealth tax in Cyprus. His very sad story was recently featured bythe Sydney Morning Herald Very bad, very, very bad, says 65-year-old John Demetriou, rubbing tears from his lined face with thick fingers. I lost all my money. John now lives in the picturesque fishing village of Liopetri on Cyprus south coast. But for 35 years he lived at Bondi Junction and worked days, nights and weekends in Sydney markets selling jewellery and imitation jewellery. He had left Cyprus in the early 1970s at the height of its war with Turkey, taking his wife and young children to safety in Australia. He built a life from nothing and, gradually, a substantial nest egg. He retired to Cyprus in 2007 with about $1 million, his life savings. He planned to spend it on his grandchildren some of whom live in Cyprus putting them through university and setting them up. There would be medical bills; he has a heart condition. The interest was paying for a comfortable retirement, and trips back to Australia. He also toyed with the idea of buying a boat. He wanted to leave any big purchases a few years, to be sure this was where he would spend his retirement. There was no hurry. But now it is all gone. If I made the decision to stay, I was going to build a house, John says. Unfortunately I didnt make the decision yet. I went to sleep Friday as a rich man. I woke up a poor man. You can read the rest of the article right here. How would you feel if you suddenly lost almost everything that you have been working for your entire life? And many small and mid-size businesses have been ruined by the bank account confiscation that has taken place in Cyprus. The following is a bank account statement that was originally posted on a Bitcoin forum that has gone absolutely viral all over the Internet. One medium size IT business has lost a staggering amount of money because of the bail-in that is happening in Cyprus Over 700k of expropriated money will be used to repay countrys debt. Probably we will get back about 20% of this amount in 6-7 years. Im not Russian oligarch, but just European medium size IT business. Thousands of other companies around Cyprus have the same situation. The business is definitely ruined, all Cypriot workers to be fired. We are moving to small Caribbean country where authorities have more respect to peoples assets. Also we are thinking about using Bitcoin to pay wages and for payments between our partners. Special thanks to: Jeroen Dijsselbloem Angela Merkel Manuel Barroso the rest of officials of European Commission With each passing day, things just continue to get worse for those with deposits of over 100,000 euros in Cyprus. A few hours ago, a Reuters story entitled Big depositors in Cyprus to lose far more than feared declared that the initial estimates of the losses by big depositors in Cyprus were much too low. And of course the truth is that those that have had their deposits frozen will be very fortunate to see any of that money ever again. But just a few weeks ago, the Central Bank of Cyprus was swearing that nothing like this could ever possibly happen. Just check out the following memo from the Central Bank of Cyprus dated 11 February 2013 that was recently posted on Zero Hedge You can believe our leaders when they swear that nothing like this will ever happen in the United States, in Canada or in other European nations if you want. But I dont believe them. In fact, as an outstanding article by Ellen Brown recently detailed, the concept of a bail-in for systemically important financial institutions has been in the works for a long time Confiscating the customer deposits in Cyprus banks, it seems, was not a one-off, desperate idea of a few Eurozone troika officials scrambling to salvage their balance sheets. A joint paper by the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Bank of England dated December 10, 2012, shows that these plans have been long in the making; that they originated with the G20 Financial Stability Board in Basel, Switzerland (discussed earlier here); and that the result will be to deliver clear title to the banks of depositor funds. If you do not believe that what just happened in Cyprus could happen in the United States, you need to read the rest of her article. The following is an extended excerpt from that article ***** Although few depositors realize it, legally the bank owns the depositors funds as soon as they are put in the bank. Our money becomes the banks, and we become unsecured creditors holding IOUs or promises to pay. (See here and here.) But until now the bank has been obligated to pay the money back on demand in the form of cash. Under the FDIC-BOE plan, our IOUs will be converted into bank equity. The bank will get the money and we will get stock in the bank. With any luck we may be able to sell the stock to someone else, but when and at what price? Most people keep a deposit account so they can have ready cash to pay the bills. The 15-page FDIC-BOE document is called Resolving Globally Active, Systemically Important, Financial Institutions. It begins by explaining that the 2008 banking crisis has made it clear that some other way besides taxpayer bailouts is needed to maintain financial stability. Evidently anticipating that the next financial collapse will be on a grander scale than either the taxpayers or Congress is willing to underwrite, the authors state: An efficient path for returning the sound operations of the G-SIFI to the private sector would be provided by exchanging or converting a sufficient amount of the unsecured debt from the original creditors of the failed company [meaning the depositors] into equity [or stock]. In the U.S., the new equity would become capital in one or more newly formed operating entities. In the U.K., the same approach could be used, or the equity could be used to recapitalize the failing financial company itselfthus, the highest layer of surviving bailed-in creditors would become the owners of the resolved firm. In either country, the new equity holders would take on the corresponding risk of being shareholders in a financial institution. No exception is indicated for insured deposits in the U.S., meaning those under $250,000, the deposits we thought were protected by FDIC insurance. This can hardly be an oversight, since it is the FDIC that is issuing the directive. The FDIC is an insurance company funded by premiums paid by private banks. The directive is called a resolution process, defined elsewhere as a plan that would be triggered in the event of the failure of an insurer . . . . The only mention of insured deposits is in connection with existing UK legislation, which the FDIC-BOE directive goes on to say is inadequate, implying that it needs to be modified or overridden. ***** You can find the rest of her excellent article right here. I would encourage everyone to especially pay attention to what she has to say about derivatives. Sadly, what is happening in Cyprus right now is just the continuation of a trend. In recent years, governments all over the world have turned to the confiscation of private wealth in order to solve their financial problems. The following examples are from a recent article posted on Deviant Investor October 2008 Argentinas leftist government, facing a gigantic revenue shortfall, proposes to nationalize all private pensions so as to meet national debt payments and avoid its second default in the decade. November 2010 Headline Hungary Gives Its Citizens an Ultimatum: Move Your Private Pension Fund Assets to the State or Permanently Lose Your Pension This is an effective nationalization of all pensions. November 2010 Ireland elects to appropriate ten billion euros from its National Pension Reserve Fund to help fund an eighty-five billion euro rescue package for its besieged banks. Ireland also moves to consider a regulatory move that compels some private Irish pension funds to hold more Irish government debt, thereby providing the state with a captive investor base but hugely raising the risk for savers. December 2010 France agrees to transfer twenty billion euros worth of assets belonging to its Fonds de Reserve pour les Retraites (FRR), the funded portion of its retirement system, to help pay off recurring social benefits costs. No pensioners are consulted. April 2012 Argentina announces that its Economy Ministry has taken an emergency loan from the national pension fund in the amount of $4.3 billion. No pensioners were consulted. June 2012 Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner unilaterally appropriates $45 billion from US federal pension funds to help tide over US deficits for the remainder of fiscal year 2011. January 2013 Treasury Secretary Geithner again announces that the government has begun borrowing from the federal employees pension fund to keep operating without passing the approaching fiscal cliff debt limit. The move effectively creates $156 billion in borrowing authority from federal pension funds. March 2013 Open Bank Resolution finance minister, Bill English, is proposing a Cyprus style solution for potential New Zealand bank failures. The reserve bank is in the final stages of establishing a rescue scheme which will put all bank depositors on the hook for bailing out their banks. Depositors will overnight have their savings shaved by the amount needed to keep distressed banks afloat. As I wrote about the other day, no bank account, no pension fund, no retirement account and no stock portfolio will be able to be considered 100% safe ever again. And once the global derivatives casino melts down, there are going to be a lot of major banks that are going to need to be bailed in. When that day arrives, they are going to try to come after your money. So dont leave your entire life savings sitting in a single bank especially not one of the banks that has a tremendous amount of exposure to derivatives. Hopefully we can get more people to wake up and realize what is happening. We are moving into a time of great financial instability, and what worked in the past is not going to work in the future.

1	Unsettled by the increasingly earnest tone of his friends words, local man Ryan Lauden, 29, told reporters Monday that his former college roommate Chris Marcottes repeated threats to visit him have recently grown uncomfortably genuine. I didnt take him seriously when he first suggested coming out here and crashing at my place, but now hes mentioning specific dates and Im really concerned he might actually follow through, said Lauden, who described his mounting alarm at Marcottes frequent texts and Facebook messages warning that he might visit for several days in July and demanding that Lauden keep a couch open for him. This is horrifying. Now he wants to know what time I usually get off work on Thursdays. God, I think he might be trying to make it a four-day weekend. At press time, Lauden was reportedly left paralyzed with fear after seeing an email from Marcotte with the subject heading, Fwd: E-Ticket Confirmation.

Now Theyre Under Fire Given the state of current affairs, it is no surprise that ratings have dropped dramatically for The Learning Channels reality show All-American Muslim. Now, the biggest advertisers on the show, Lowes, has decided to pull their investment. Now, after hearing the news, the liberals have decided to launch an attack on the store. According to California Senator Ted Lieu, Lowes move was bigoted, shameful and un-American. Also speaking out is the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Meanwhile, the company has received support from the Florida Family Association and other conservative groups. All-American Muslim represents propaganda that riskily hides the Islamic agendas clear and present danger to American liberties and traditional values, the group told CNN. What do you think? Do you support Lowes in their move away from supporting the show? 
1	Analysts are predicting that the $3 billion Sir Richard Branson has pledged for developing energy sources to combat global warming could come close to matching the amount the entrepreneur, adventurer, and Virgin CEO has already spent on elaborate balloon-based excursions. 'This unprecedented and extremely generous investment rivals the amounts Branson spent on his many, many failed attempts to circumnavigate the Earth in a balloon,' Wall Street stock analyst Madeleine Brauner said. 'He's setting a wonderful example for ultrarich environmentalists everywhere.' Branson also reportedly plans to invest billions more on a time machine that would enable him to prevent the creation of Virgin Airways, reducing greenhouse-gas emissions by some four percent worldwide. 
2	Andy Griffith Cam Newton Advice On Winning And Losing Cam Newton, quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, recently made headlines not just for a poor performance in the Super Bowl, but for his sore loser mentality following the games. Most of the questions asked by reporters, he responded to with I dont know, bro, and minimal answers. He eventually left the podium early, saying Man, Im done. While its easy to understand such disappointment after losing such a big game, Newton has since been criticized for pouting and acting like a sore loser. Many different people have opinions about Newtons early exit. Now a video has emerged that mashes Cam Newtons face with some advice from Andy Griffith from his TV show. Richard Gilbreath, who posted the video, later said: something that was just meant to be for laughs and giggles has turned viral. Its almost unbelievable how in sync the video is with Newtons reaction. I think that Andy Griffith is right in this situation. No matter how disappointed you are in the result of the game, no matter how disappointed you are in yourself, you still have to stand in there and face the facts, the criticism, and hopefully you can become better and stronger. Maybe Cam Newton could stand to be a little bit more like Andy Griffith. 
1	Jury members in the murder case against real estate agent David Steffen said that the angry message Steffen left on victim Ron Meyer's cell phone, which Meyer was listening to when he was struck by an oncoming car, was 'more than enough' evidence to convict Steffen of 17th-degree murder. 'It was clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that this was murder in the 17th,' jury forewoman Janine Tysland said. 'The crime was not premeditated, lacked malice aforethought, was involuntary, and was committed by a sane person located more than 45 miles away from the victim.' The jury found Steffen not guilty on one count of 16th-degree murder, agreeing with the defense that there was nothing to refute Steffen's claim that he dialed the wrong number. 
3	Five-Month-Old Baby Dies Just Days After 8 Vaccinations Parents Are Charged With Her MurderChristina England Baby As mother told VacTruth that the vaccinations were administered extremely harshly, with the nurse appearing to stab their daughter viciously with a variety of needles. Baby A received eight vaccines in total, the five-in-one vaccine Pentaxim said to protect against diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, haemophilus influenza type B (Hib) and polio; the hepatitis B vaccine; the rotavirus vaccine; and a vaccine said to protect babies against pneumocococcal and non-typeable haemophilus influenzae disease, Prenevar/Prenvar. Her mother explained that after her ordeal, Baby A was irritable, upset and had difficulty in settling. That the following day, she was unable to move her legs, which remained hard and swollen around the injection site for several days. Amazingly, this was not the first time that Baby A had suffered from this side effect. Her mother told VacTruth that her legs had become swollen after vaccinations before, when they had remained swollen for several weeks. When Baby As parents asked the nurses at the clinic why their daughters legs were swollen, they were told that it may have been due to the technique that was used at the time of vaccination. The nurses recorded this reaction on Baby As vaccination card and told Baby As mother to use a warm face towel and massage her legs. When Baby A suffered the same side effect after vaccinations given on September 25, 2012, Mrs. A immediately used a warm face towel to soothe her daughters legs and lessen the swelling. So, why werent the healthcare providers concerned about this reaction? On October 9, 2012, Baby A appeared to be her normal self, playing, kicking and smiling; however, the next day things were very different. Mrs. A explains: Baby A woke up and appeared to be crabby and running a high fever. She was only was happy if we were holding her and carrying her. That day, I gave her Panado and was dabbing her with a cool face towel to bring the fever down. At about 15:30 or so I had just finished feeding her and gave her to my husband to burp and as he was burping he heard her gasp for like a breath of air and when I looked at her she had collapsed on his shoulder and wasnt breathing. She turned blue and we tried to give her CPR but as we were doing that she was throwing up and still was not breathing. We decided to rush her to the nearest hospital but we were unfortunate as there was traffic at the time and only got there at about 16:00. I could be off a few minutes, we took her into the trauma unit and they took her from us and told us to wait in a separate room. They managed to resuscitate her and put her in the NICU, they then took her to get a CT scan and then said they needed to take x-rays as well. After what seemed like forever, the doctor appeared and informed the anxious parents that their daughter had blood on her brain and appeared to have been shaken. He said that the little girl had multiple fractures of the long bones. When Mr. and Mrs. A asked the doctor what had happened to their daughter, the doctor was abrupt, saying, I dont know, I wasnt there, why dont you tell me? Mrs A. told VacTruth that she felt that his comment was uncalled for and insulting and that she could not understand what he was implying. She said: We were so upset, how could he say that? What was he implying? That was our baby there and we didnt know what had happened. She told me that she had turned to the doctor treating Baby A and said to him: You are the doctor, you are supposed to help us. All of a sudden everything we had got taken away, our life, our 24 hours a day, we have nothing left to do now but wait for some sort of answer as to why our baby is lying there. I dont know what this shaken baby syndrome is, no one shook our baby. We were there, thats not an answer, we need an answer. We Decided to Switch Off the Ventilator Mrs. A said that around this time that the pediatrician requested a biopsy to test the collagen for brittle bone disease. The results of this test are not known because Baby As medical records have since gone missing. The next day the doctor suggested to Baby As parents that it might be time to switch off the ventilator. He explained that Baby A was not going to wake up and asked her parents whether they would consider organ donation, which the devastated couple refused on religious grounds. On the fifth day, the swelling had became much worse and six days after Baby As admission into the hospital, hospital staff could no longer open the little girls eyes. It was at this stage that Baby As parents decided that their precious daughter had suffered enough. Mrs. A explained: We decided to switch off the ventilator and let our baby rest in peace, we had a meeting with the nurses and doctors and told them that we would switch off at 7am the following day and the nurses said that there would have to be an autopsy and the pediatrician then said, no, that was not necessary, and the nurses insisted. Day 7 came [on] October 17, 2012 and as soon as we got there, they took Baby A out of her bed and told us to sit, put her in our arms and switched off the ventilator. They didnt even give us five minutes alone with her to say goodbye to her. We then sat alone with her after she had passed on and waited in the waiting area for them to release her body. We waited between two and three hours and they told us they were waiting for the police to come and pick up the body to take it to the morgue to do the autopsy. Doctors are Blaming Parents for Vaccine Injuries This is yet another tragic case in which parents have been accused of shaking their baby, after a possible vaccine injury has occurred. Baby As vaccination card showed that at the tender age of five months she had received a total of 21 routine vaccinations. This is a vast number of vaccinations and it is becoming evident that many babies of this age cannot tolerate an onslaught of toxins, chemicals and poisons of this magnitude. It is important to recognize that some parents do physically abuse their children and while I appreciate that this is not acceptable, doctors must appreciate that not every injury is the result of child abuse. Over recent years, there has been a dramatic rise in the number of parents being accused of shaken baby syndrome after a possible vaccine injury has occurred. In 1998, Dr. Viera Scheibner called this rise an epidemic. In a paper published by Nexus, she wrote: Some time ago I started getting requests from lawyers or the accused parents themselves for expert reports. A close study of the history of these cases revealed something distinctly sinister: in every single case, the symptoms appeared shortly after the babys vaccinations. [1] I would go one step further than Dr. Scheibner and say that this epidemic has now become a pandemic of shaken baby syndrome. Baby As vaccine card states that on the September 25 she received the Prevanar vaccine, a vaccine that has been known to cause severe adverse reactions, including convulsions, difficulty in breathing, swelling of the face, hands and feet and death. [2] Could it be possible that the swelling of Baby As hands, feet, head and eyes was in fact evidence that she was suffering from an adverse reaction from the vaccine? More Infant Deaths from this Dangerous Vaccine Many may argue that this swelling happened two weeks after the vaccine was administered, but I would counter argue, stating that there is no set time frame for an adverse reaction to occur. Remember, Baby As legs had swollen up shortly after she received the vaccine and had remained swollen for some weeks. According to Reuters, in 2009 the Dutch authorities banned the vaccine Prevenar after three infants died within two weeks of receiving the vaccine. This was the same time frame that occurred between the administration of the vaccine and Baby As death. A spokeswomen for the Dutch health institute RIVM stated: On average, about five to ten deaths are reported annually after babies get vaccines. We now have three cases in a short period; that is unusual, and the reason for suspending the batch. [3] The deaths in Holland are not the only deaths that have been reported. In 2000, Michael Horwin, MA, reported that while conducting the clinical trials for Prevenar, twelve children had died. In Part 3 of his paper entitled Prevnar A Critical Review of a New Childhood Vaccine, Horwin wrote: Furthermore, the insert tells us that, Twelve deaths (5 SIDS and 7 with clear alternative cause) occurred among subjects receiving Prevnar. This number was less than the 21 deaths (8 SIDS, 12 with clear alternative cause and one SIDS-like death in an older child) that occurred in the control group. However, both groups (Prevnar and control) received some form of experimental vaccine. Therefore, all we know is that 33 children are dead and at least 13 died of SIDS. [4] (emphasis added) This paperwork also revealed that several doctors involved in the clinical trials were reported to have had conflicts of interest. If this is true, then the efficacy of this vaccine was questionable before it was ever approved and this was borne out by the website Flu Prevention and Treatments Naturally who stated that during a search of the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a total of 28,317 adverse reactions had been reported since the vaccine had been approved in 2000 which included: As with so many of these cases, Baby A did not just receive just one vaccine, so it is therefore difficult to pinpoint exactly which vaccine, if any, may have led to her death. However, it is vital that the doctors involved in this case as with all cases, consider the vaccines as a possible contributory factor. Sadly, these parents have been accused and charged with the murder of their daughter without any substantial evidence of foul play. There appears to be no evidence of external head injuries or bruising to the upper body to indicate that Baby A had been shaken. I believe that if this child had been shaken there would have been evidence of either back or neck injuries because a baby of five months does not have full head control. All vaccines and drugs carry a risk of adverse reactions and after receiving 21 vaccines it is highly possible that Baby A died of toxic poisoning. If so, her death was caused not by her parents but by the huge number of vaccines sanctioned by the government and the fact that the hospital failed to recognize the possibility that this little girl may have been suffering an adverse reaction to vaccination.

3	Breaking the Cult of PassivityJulian Rose The global stage currently more resembles a battlefield than a cultural arena framed by a proscenium arch. War zones today are defined as theatres and the real action is supposed to be happening there: amongst the killing fields. Meanwhile our halls of artistic expression are mostly treated as useful distractions from the real business. Its time to reverse this ill contrived distortion and to rewrite the script. The script is a key part of any drama and provides the actor with his/her frame of reference, without which the action soon loses its way. So we who contribute to the blogosphere seek to establish contact with our audience via our scripts. Our hope is that those who engage with our words will also become Actors (those who take action) and not merely spectators. We hope our words will be received as calls to action not merely as some form of entertaining diversion. If we are about trying to inspire a revolution, which we are, this becomes critical indeed. For such a revolution to succeed on both the world stage and the theatres stage, a strong script and a perceptive director become a necessity. But from the outset, recognition must also be given to the abilities and skills of the actors. There must be the desire to share the creative task of bringing the drama to its full potential; not simply using the players as pawns in a process of achieving a desired result. Bringing the drama/revolution to its full potential is a shared creative task. Writers, directors and actors therefore have clearly defined roles but what about the audience? In the traditional theatre, the audience witness the drama from a removed and largely passive position. We in the audience, are absorbers of the action but are not participants in its outcome. Revolving the stage into the outside world, we see that this represents an exact mirror of the state of society. A large proportion of our society are essentially onlookers and, as in the theatre, we share the frissons but do not deem it our place to become involved: to affect a shift in the standard pattern of events. We talk excitedly, or gloomily, about the various scenes being played-out on the world stage. We react in horror when someone who we thought was a good guy turns out to be the bad guy. We berate those in control for stealing our money and poisoning our food. We despise their myopic attempts to run the show, resulting as it does in so much self indulgence and outright destruction. We curse them for so brazenly exploiting our dumbness and passivity. In short, we put our own hypocrisy at centre stage. We, the audience, singularly fail to realise the part our passivity plays in the shape of the drama being played out on the world stage. It is surely this, more than anything else, that provides the single greatest obstacle to change. So long as watchers fail to become participants, no major shift in the status quo can take place. Yet you are reading this on the pages of a site which seeks to bring about change, so can I assume that somewhere inside, you are yearning to take action . . . and if not, why not? As the writer of the script, I need you to fill this role so as to give this writing meaning. Without your creative response to my creative input, these words will be as dead matter. Of course, if you deem this to be a poor script, a poor response is only to be expected. However, if perhaps you are already an Actor (activist) you will know what I am talking about and you will know that unless the audience (the public) is somehow motivated to get beyond receiving your endeavours as simply a nice performance your labours will fall on stony ground and the change being called for will not come about. Thus the issue of the audience finding a completely new role within the unfolding of the drama becomes of paramount importance in fomenting genuine change. The traditional theatre, as we have noted, separates the auditorium from the stage often with an orchestra pit in between. The seated spectator is given the role of an onlooker, while the actor has the role of action maker. Put another way: the audience are cast as the many who applaud the few who are presented on a raised platform and, in turn, bow to those who applaud them. The theatre, in this form, thus apes the social status quo with its man made divisions of poverty and privilege, people and elite, obeisance and arrogance: the split society which still to this day holds humanity back from achieving some form of common forward dynamic. So the necessity is to forge a new role for the audience which changes this hopelessly static position and fosters instead, a two-way link to the action. A link in which the audiences energy input interfaces with that of the performers in sharing the common goal of bringing the drama to its full realisation. Full realisation could be described as that which produces a transforming effect on all present. In effect: realising a new dimension. This breaks open the hypothesis that the best we can expect from all who tread the boards of the world stage is that some will achieve notoriety while the rest provide the applause . . . and the boos. The touch paper for revolution is lit when a critical mass of we the people are motivated to change our role from passive onlooker to active change maker. Historically, the problem with revolution is that it usually only succeeds in eliciting a reversal of roles within the framework of the society in which it takes place: those on the bottom rise up, while those on the top sink down. But the division itself continues as before, just in a reversed order. Revolving this scenario back into the theatre: the audience become the actors and the actors become the audience, but otherwise nothing is changed. The architecture of society and the theatre remains essentially confrontational. Thus the so called revolution fails to bring about the profound change we are looking for; instead, it merely alters the pecking order. Throughout much of the 1970s I worked with an experimental theatre company engaged in seeking to address this issue, by setting in motion a new phase in the evolution of the theatre, both humanly and architecturally. In this work, the writer, director and actor recognise that they are participating together in an attempt to re-engage and to re-frame their relationship with both the man-made and the natural environment, as well as with each other. Architecturally, the focus point is the establishment of a new design in the spacial and height layout of the area occupied by the audience, bringing about new sight lines relative to the performance area. The objective: to evolve a non-passive, dynamic relativity between the observer and the action. Turning a slack energy interface into a dynamic one. Now the spectator is positioned so as to optimise his/her participatory involvement in the realisation of the performance: thus acquiring the attributes of an actor.*(see end) The working climate of this innovative experimental theatre is exploratory: to give expression to the underlying vibratory pattern which drives, and is common to, poetry, movement, music and the spoken word. Its an exploration which is open to all ages, having the effect of stimulating and awaking untapped human resources and re-engaging the innate connectivity between areas which are typically treated as separate disciplines. A holistic process. In this, it follows parralel discoveries made in the field of Quantum physics during the 1950s and 60s. In Quantum theory, even the minutest subatomic particles, upon inpection under a powerful microscope, are found to be in a constant state of flux. Their appearance changing between a spec, a wave and what Quantum physicist Neils Bohr once called a dance. As in Harvey Grossmanns new theatre,* the subjective relationship between the viewer and what is viewed also turns out to be critical, affecting both the dynamic and the shape of the process of change taking place at both ends of the spectrum. During the course of this experimental theatre work it became possible to discern ways of channeling creative energies into the active pursuit of an awakened, revitalised and redirected aspiration to challenge all that stands behind the deeply destructive materialistic idealogies that dominate our planet today . This suggests the great value that could be gained from bringing into much closer proximity activists and artists in pursuit of fomenting the much needed revolution alluded to earlier. Artists and activists are probably misleading delineations anyway, since the aspirations of each have much commonality. Nevertheless, thousands of performing artists contribute next to nothing towards efforts to prevent the auctioning off of our planet by the purveyors of darkness. Instead, they allow themselves to become beneficiaries of the stolen assets which keep the cabal in business. Yet there are millions who still feel drawn to live performances of the dramatic arts, so this is clearly a highly appropriate medium in which to be introduced to a new way of engaging in an active process of change. Especially if its one which can radically alter the perception and reality of how we live our lives; lifting us out of the passive audience scenario and into the active change maker role. Almost daily, we hear a new story about the horrors being enacted by those who manipulate the levers of the top-down control system and their seeming determination to inflict untold damageto our lives and to our planet. Yet, even as these horrors are enacted, millions of new children are born onto our planet and millions of young people are passing through their adolescent lives in the hope of finding some creative outlet for their youthful energies. The fact that this hope is stymied again and again by a tunnel vision, money-obsessed status quo, means that most will never find their way into avenues that could channel their positive energies into helping to bring about a process of deep creative change. It is a conspiratorially corrupted system which has changed education (latin: e-ducare to lead out from) from a potentially exciting process of discovery, into an exam factory designed to fulfil the demands of a terminally sick consumer society. Exposing the control systems desperate attempts to keep the lid on human potentialfor creative change makes big demands on all of us so engaged. The need is to counterbalance this work with a process that leads to a deepening of our lives and an expansion of our vision of what ingredients to pour into the mould of the new society which it is our prerogative to bring to birth. We can only gain insight into what to do about the multiple problems thrown up by a civilisation moving into the advanced phases of collapse, by drawing ever deeper upon our God-given artistic/creative abilities: here lies a fountain of life whose capacity for positive change is infinite. By reviving the role of the creative arts as a key tool for activism, we can catalyse that largely pacified divine energy flow and pour it into the task of ousting the life paralysing regime that occupies the seats of power, putting in its place something of infinitely greater worth. Deep down we are all artists. In the newborn child is contained the seed of all potential. Its just that (for most) at some point in the evolution from young child to grown adult, the vital spark is downgraded and its potency neutered. The genius in humanity is subverted into conformity with the banal: the sub-human level that underscores todays status quo. Yet deep down in all of us, the child genius remains present and the open canvas of innocence with which childhood is associated, retains its potential. This lifeline is always present, however dimmed, even if we fail to recognise it. It is the child in us which expresses the instinctive, spontaneous desire to participate in the drama of life. In this, the child is the original Actor. Why should this instinct be cut off? Is it not our lot to give expression to the genius we inherited? Only by breaking through the cult of passivity can we the people shift the momentum of society away from its present fatal trajectory into full alignment with the life affirming forces that are the Divines great gift to humanity. * This new approach to the realisation of the art of the theatre is the life work of theatre director Harvey Grossmann and poet Ruth Mandel: The Institute for Theatre Research, Antwerp, Belgium.

1	Noting her obsessive desire for acquiring wealth and physical possessions, local sources confirmed Friday that materialistic single mother of three Jillian Ferguson is constantly thinking about money. I really need next Fridays paycheck today, or theres no way I can get new clothes for the kids, said the insatiable woman who is reportedly singularly focused on wanting more and more money to buy more things. Itd be really nice to get a little overtime on my next shift; then I might be able to swing getting a few groceries and pay off some of the bills. At press time, several reports indicated that the superficial mother was actually crying about her lack of material possessions.

The Washington Times reports: Dodsons book The Unarmed Truth gives a inside account of how the government permitted the sales of thousands of firearms to Mexican drug cartels and ignored the facts that those guns were being used to kill innocent people. The ACLU, alongside Dodson on October 7, filed a formal protest to the decision to block the books ability to be published. Paul Lawrance writes for Eyes Open Report, where this first appeared. 
2	These 14 Stole 16 Million In Welfare, Look What Happened Next In 2014, food stamp benefits cost the American public $74.1 billion in 2014, supplying 46.5 million Americans with benefits. The lowest level of fraud, say 5%, can amount to billions in wasted funds, and contrary to public belief, the most popular method of food stamp fraud is trading in cards for cash. Finally, the government is taking steps to counteract this. In April, the USDA passed a rule allowing states the option to require SNAP recipients to make contact with the state when there have been an excessive number of requests for EBT card replacements in a year. Requesting replacement cards can indicate a client is exchanging their SNAP cards for cash. In a recent case in Baltimore, fourteen people were arrested in raids that amounted to a total of $16 million in food stamp fraud. More than a dozen retail store operators were charged in connection to the foodstamp and wire fraud scheme. They obtained more than $16,482,270 in EBT deposits for transactions in which food sales never occurred or were substantially inflated. What do you think? Do we need significant measures in place to make sure this doesnt happen? 
1	According to reports coming in from around the country this morning, people are steadfastly refusing to read a news headline past the words '4-Year-Old Girl Forced To,' with most saying they simply don't have it in them to deal with whatever information lies beyond that six-word phrase. 'Nopenot gonna do it,' said Rockville, MD project manager Arnold Willis, who threw his copy of The Washington Post into a garbage can outside his home after reading the headline from the words 'Police Say' to 'Forced To.' 'I've got my whole day ahead of me, and I'm not going to let it be completely ruined before Ive even left the house.' 'Off to work!' Willis added before engaging in some strained whistling as he got into his car. In similar incidents, millions of Americans confirmed they quickly closed their laptops after visits to news websites such as MSNBC.com and CNN.com, saying they simply would not be able to reconcile the headline's content after 'Forced To' with the accompanying photo of the adorable child. 'First of all, it was right on the front page, and you just know there isn't going to be anything good about a 4-year-old kid on the front page,' said Kathy Wortham, 39, a Providence, RI receptionist and mother of two. 'I only read it to the word 'Girl,' and that was more than enough for me. I knew there wasn't a verb in the English language I would have been able to handle after that.' After being informed the next word was 'Forced,' a cringing Wortham paused before replying, Well, I hope she stops being forced to do whatever it was she was being forced to do. If its not too late, that is. Im sure it will all work out! In addition to not reading the entire headline, the majority of Americans said they also would not engage in any speculation as to the articles content, because there was no possible ending to the headline they could conceivably tolerate, other than 'Go To An Amusement Park' or 'Brush Her Teeth'highly unlikely topics for new stories, they grudgingly admitted. 'I accidentally looked down and saw the words 'garbage bag' in the first paragraph,' Tulsa, OK retail associate Sandra Porter, 27, said as her coworkers scattered, holding their hands over their ears and yelling, 'I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it!' and Christ, what the fuck is wrong with people? 'After that, I made the decision to just sort of let my brain shut down so I could ride out the rest of day.' Members of the Associated Press, where the headline originated, said they too were anxiously waiting for the no doubt emotionally devastating story to pass through the news cycle. 'I really can't blame anyone for not wanting to read that whole headline; when the article came across my desk, I myself got to the words '4-Year-Old Girl Forced To,' immediately signed off on it, and had it sent out over the wire,' AP senior editor Mike Siegel said. 'Since then, I've been keeping myself busy editing articles about unlikely animal friends.' 'Did you know a female dog in Missouri adopted a litter of piglets?' Siegel continued. 'Ha, ha, ha! No little girls being forced to do anything in that story!' Other media professionals confirmed the U.S. populace shouldn't even bother following the news tomorrow, as there will be a high prevalence of headlines containing language such as 'Dragged,' 'Kindergartner,' '6 Hours,' Syria, various random phrases trending on Twitter, and 'Blunt-Force Trauma.' 
3	As Riot Police Begin Mass Arrests of Pipeline Protesters, Facebook Immediately Blocks LivestreamBy Matt Agorist Unicorn Riot has been on the ground since the protests began, providing an uncensored glimpse into the militarized police state being constructed around the protesters. However, Facebook has now rejected their coverage noting thatour security systems detected to be unsafe. According to reports, twenty-two protesters were arrested by police in riot gear, including two Unicorn Riot journalists. In an emailed statement to the Antimedia, a member of the Unicorn Riot said: At a critical moment of our coverage of a Dakota Access Pipeline direct action today, Facebooks automated censorship system blocked our video URL, shortly before two of our journalists were arrested onsite. As we started to cover todays direct action, our collective members immediately noticed that the full Livestream event URL (https://livestream.com/unicornriot/events/6340986) was being blocked from Facebook. Posts and comments with the URL both immediately triggered popup security alerts. We tried putting the same URL through Bitly shortening and that official Unicorn Riot page post was deleted by Facebook within a few minutes. Finally we went with sharing our Live Channel URL on our own website which had the embed included on it. Blaming both Facebook and law enforcement for blocking their media distribution, the collective member vowed,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, the Unicorn Riot member concluded. According to Motherboard, a Facebook spokesperson told them that the post was removed from Unicorn Riots page after the platforms automatic spam filter mistakenly flagged the Livestream link. The link was removed in error and restored as soon as we were able to investigate. Our team processes millions of reports each week, and we sometimes get things wrong. Were very sorry about this mistake, the spokesperson said. This exact same unsafe detection happens to the Free Thought Project on a regular basis. When articles go viral exposing a glaring case of police brutality or government corruption, Facebook quickly flags them as unsafe, and the links become unclickable and unsharable even in private messages. Eventually, Facebook gets enough complaints from readers who tell them that it is not unsafe and the link is restored. However, the momentum of the sharing and virility has been rendered effectively impotent by the previous move and the information is stopped in its tracks. Facebook censorship is coming to an ugly head. In just the past month and a half, weve seen the social media giant deactivate the account of Korryn Gaines, who was live streaming her arrest, just before being killed by police.Weve also seen Facebook censor the iconic image of the Napalm Girl, as well as removing any mention of Hillary Clintons collapse in the trending section.

Everybody cancel out you account NOW. Show SUCKFACE or whatever his name is that hes a piece of dog turd! This is where the 2nd Amendment comes into play. If the protesters were armed, professionally and responsibly, there would be no such action. But such an escalation has to be done appropriately with NO ONE brandishing. All were talking about is the presence of arms among, carried by a professional and well-behaved militia. The police would think twice. This is showing what America REALLY is If they were armed, they would be shot immediately, with weapons so much more powerful and plentiful than normal citizens can acquire. You cant stop violence with violence. Facehook = Borg. why does anyone use fakebook???????????? None should be surprised at this news. Zuckerberg has been under the hammer of this establishment ever since they allowed him to reinstate his citizenship to the USA. Remember when he renounced it shortly before Facebook went public, I believe it was back in 2012?

3	Why Social Security Is Doomed: Birthrate At Lowest Level on Record And the Future Is UnfundedBy Mac Slavo The birthrate, long tied to economic growth, has been dropping to its lowest point in recorded history both nationally and, in particular, in the state of California. This demographic shift is bad news for the economy in terms of housing, consumer markets, and especially for the long-term funding of Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare and other obligations that younger generations have typically been expected to pay into. Whether or not you agree with the system in place, the fact that it is virtually certain to go bankrupt before the generation of baby boomers shift off this mortal coil should be troubling to everyone planning a future in the United States. Official numbers show that the birthrate began to steadily decline in 2008 when the crisis hit and unlike even during the Great Depression hasnt ever picked back up. 2016 saw the lowest point ever for California, even with higher births from immigrants factored in. Via the L.A. Times: Californias birthrate dropped to its lowest level ever in 2016, according to data released by the states Department of Finance. But, unlike after the Depression, birthrates havent bounced back quickly as the economy has picked up. California has been experiencing a years-long downward trend that likely stems from the recession,a drop in teenage pregnancies and an increase in people attending college and taking longer to graduate, therefore putting off having children Eventually you think about having a child and by this point in time youre in your early 30s, he said when womens fertility begins to decrease Similarly, the national birthrate began falling in 2008 and continued to do so through 2013, when it hit a record low of 12.4 per 1,000 people. Already, states and cities are unable to meet their pension obligations. A very bad game of musical chairs is in the works, and unless something major changes, it could spell ruin for aging generations to come, who will be forced to contend with a shrinking pool of support both officially and unofficially from younger generations. As the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this year: Sales of single-family homes are being weighed down by what Robert Dietz, chief economist at the National Association of Home Builders, calls the great delay, the trend of millennials postponing milestones like marriage and having kids. Other ripple effects take years to show up, such as the drag of having fewer young workers paying into Social Security and Medicare [] Everything is slower than we expected, said Sam Sturgeon he predicts that the total fertility rate wont go above 1.9 babies per woman for the next five years or longer. An ideal birth rate is around 2.1 babies per woman, demographers say, since thats the rate thats needed to replace the current levels of population. Right now, there is considerable optimism about a renewed age for the free market in America. Business is being wooed back by President-elect Trump. But in the long term, the demographic pressures could impact the care and survival of the population. All the more reason to prepare for the worst, and reduce ones dependency on the system as much as possible. As Michael Snyder explained, the upcoming generation of snowflake millennials are, as whole, reluctant to move out of their parents basements, have difficulty finding real jobs, are stifled by student loans and a lifetime of debt, are putting off marriage and children and consequently, will be inadequately prepared to financial support older generations as they age. What if social security and pensions arent there when you need it? What if, even after being forced to pay for Obamacare, health care is inadequate or even inaccessible? At the individual level, this is a clear incentive to prepare, and attempt to build a self-sufficient life that is not reliant on social programs or future-promises of assistance and support. Promote your own health, and that of your family, and create a back-up plan in case ones position in the pecking order of society should slip and fall, income should fade or medicines and health care should become out-of-reach. The same tips to prepare for an emergency can be applied to the long game to prepare for a future of bankrupt and inept social services.

So, on one side we have un-meetable pension obligations and on the other the secret CAFR accounts that are the invested pension funds with the stock market at an all time high. Im confused. Theyre supposed to tax the stock market to prop up the Social Security Administration? No. The CAFR accounts are the pension set asides invested for growth to keep up. Yes, lets once again demoralize every U.S. taxpayer by reminding them that their entire working lives are a pointless waste, that all the money disappearing from their paychecks will never be seen again. Lets not tell them the reason for this is the grossly and falsely inflated Medicare/Medicaid budget, due to the practice of getting everyone from the age of two addicted to outrageously expensive prescription medications that not only dont cure anyone of anything, they make them sicker and more costly to treat. Keeping working people depressed and in need of antidepressants so they can continue to slave their lives away? Do I detect a vicious cycle here? There is a criminal element siphoning off OUR SS funds, those entitlements that happen to belong to us, its called the pharmaceutical industry, the very same companies tasked with writing an Affordable Care Act so bloated it was literally unreadable by the drugged-out fools who passed it. Great dot connecting, nicely articulated. Yeah, theres a reason several huge public pensions have failed and others are in serious trouble. Same reason over a decade ago congressional committees were discussing options for pooling all forms of retirement funds and savings to be distributed as the government sees fit (needs basis). Parallels the ACA designed to implode into a monolithic system. btw, some wealthy Establishment goons tied Hillary emerged to champion a new mandatory retirement withholding tax that would be channeled into the global casino of stocks and bonds I believe a similar casino mandate was proffered by Reagan (or maybe it was actually Hillarys batboy/husband, Im too lazy to look it up) and the idea never grew legs. But I do remember reading the SS is going bankrupt meme back in my 30s. I didnt pay any attention to it then either and here I am, retired and collecting all that money I paid in. Are they just BSing us? Who would think such a thing? LOL The blogger OpenHand recently suggested that humanity intentionally manifested the situation we are in today as such a complete and total parody of how the world should function so that, when faced with utter insanity and blatant psychopathy, we would have no choice but to wake up. This notion has legs. OASD is welcome to buy me out, Ill settle for an even Million. Canadas public retirement program akin to our SSI has a private fund management company who has quadrupled their existing fund. The Federal Reserve bailed out the mortgage mess with close to $2T in QE (quantative easing) to Wall St. Bankers. They could just as easily issue a credit to those bankers to trade in favor of the Social Security Trust Fund. If they do well, entrust them with more of the actual trust fund, or just piggy-back with Canadas fund managers, who have a proven track record. Giving investment control to recipients is certain disaster, a literal crap shoot. Odd you didnt mention the fact that there are no jobs

This Is It According to reports, the UK is on edge after their terror chief warned citizens that British police are preparing for an enormous and spectacular terrorist attack. This is one element of what the official warns is the next natural phase. Mark Rowley, the assistant commissioner of Londons Metropolitan Police, argued that after the Paris terrorist attacks, ISIS has shifted from a narrow focus on police and military as symbols of the state to something much broader. You see a terrorist group that has big ambitions for enormous and spectacular attacks, not just the types that weve seen foiled to date, Rowley commented, Allen B. West reports. You see a terrorist group that whilst on the one hand has been acting as a cult to use propaganda to radicalize people to act in their nameyou also see them trying to build bigger attacks. Meanwhile, Obama continues to even acknowledge Islam as a threat. Do you think that ISIS needs to be stopped before it can expand any further? Do you agree with Rowley?

2	BREAKING: Obama Has Finally Done It... Martial Law Is Upon Us In a controversial new decision, President Obama fulfilled his threats to use executive action to pass the National Defense Resources Preparedness order, which puts our nation in a permanent state of martial law. It can be activated by the president whenever he chooses. The action is a continuation of the Defense Production Act of 1950, which was created in response to the Korean War. This latest move expands on the authority granted in that act, essentially giving the government permission to take over and control major resources at the time of declaration. Those in opposition to the measure fear that an act of aggression towards the United States homeland by outside forces is no longer a requirement for implementation. That means that it can be put into place during a time of peace if and when Obama orders it. Once the order is implemented, Obama will issues regulations establishing nationwide procedures and standards of production. This will include the control of general distribution of any material (including applicable services) to the civilian market. All manufacturing will cease unless otherwise approved by the president, and the government will be given first rights to anything that is produced. Essentially, they will have the authority to seize private companies and facilities, and even change the way they operate. Some fear that food supplies, all forms of energy, production, farms and equipment, water resources, civilian transportation and healthcare resources will also fall under government control. What do you think? Is this absolutely terrifying?

1	At a highly anticipated press event at its Silicon Valley headquarters Tuesday afternoon, tech giant Apple officially unveiled to the public a panicked and completely idea-free man. The white, ultrathin man, who exhibited such features as artificial excitement, a fully quavering voice, and what appeared to be a near total lack of inspiration, was put on full display for thousands of shareholders, industry insiders, reporters, and fans today in what Apple hopes will be a game-changer for the multinational corporation. This is the future of Apple, announced the lightweight, 75-inch desperate man while being presented on stage. We are indeed staking our companys reputation on what you see here on this stage. And as always with Apple, you are getting a glimpse of the entire tech industrys future today. Our customers expect the best products from Apple, and that is what we will continue to deliver, continued the feckless man, offering a tedious, innovation-free display and a high rate of perspiration. Experts told reporters the success or failure of the hapless, perplexed man will have an enormous impact on Apples profits and revenues for the foreseeable future. The completely ineffectual male human, reportedly priced at roughly $4.17 million per year, is also expected to both shape and inform all Apple products and their design for years to come. However, early reports suggest that a majority of the events attendees were unimpressed by the panicked man, with critics complaining that the creatively bankrupt individual is largely useless and a stark departure from the companys visionary and industry-leading ethos. In terms of reliability, functionality, performance, and overall quality, Im very underwhelmed by what Apple put out today, said TechCrunch blogger Daniel Keison, noting that the utterly uninspiring man was noticeably lower-end, lagged considerably, and came equipped with little to no vision. Apple had set the bar really high in the past, and I cant say theyre living up to that. Maybe our expectations for them have just become unrealistic at this point, Keison said of Apple, which also unveiled a line of other lower-quality panicked men during the event. But frankly, what the company showed us today is not really very different from what other tech companies have shown us. Industry sources reported that while many loyal Apple customers were largely unenthusiastic about the panicked man, they remained quite happy with the previous model, discontinued in 2011. 
1	In the wake of his MVP performance in the World Series, St. Louis Cardinals third baseman David Freese has been constantly surrounded this week by dozens of swooning, average-looking women. 'It's flattering to see so many plain women flocking to me, especially considering most of them look like theyve probably popped out a couple kids and had to hire a babysitter in order to come out,' Freese said as one woman, who wasn't exactly homely but certainly would never be described as attractive, planted a kiss right on his cheek. 'My girlfriend was a little worried about all the attention I was getting at first, but then, you know, just get a load of all these fives. She's got nothing to worry about.' Freese did admit it was better to be surrounded by legions of so-so women than the creepy, aging men carrying microphones who kept hounding him in the immediate aftermath of Game 7.

Ill play it by ear, you know? I might stop halfway down with my legs and try to run back up. Nothings set in stone. As of press time, Hall had decided to take a quick break after his 28th trip down the slide in order to spin in circles and screech.

In reality it is a premeditated consequence of US foreign policy spanning both the Bush and now the Obama administrations. While in 2007, all of this was, soon to be, in retrospect we see just how devastatingly accurate Hershs reporting was. It is clear now, with the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Sunni-extremist dominated, foreign-funded destabilization ravaging Syria, that this policy created during the Bush administration, has transcended presidencies and is being brought to its premeditated conclusion under Obama yet another example of continuity of agenda. Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the United States Are Behind Syrias Violence. The evidence trickling out of the corporate-media regarding who the armed Syrian opposition is, reveals that it is predominately an extremist Sunni-movement, not only including Syrian extremists, but militants crossing the border from Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and even from as faras Libya. An alliance of Gulf States led by Saudi Arabia have pledged funds for Syrias militants and has repeatedly called for openly arming them. The US is likewise openly equipping Syrian militants. This reality is not merely a spontaneous reaction by the international community, but verbatim what was planned in detail amongst the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia years in advance to topple the Syrian government before moving on to Iran, according to Hershs 2007 report: 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. The Redirection, Seymour Hersh Hershs report would also include: the Saudi government, with Washingtons approval, would provide funds and logistical aid to weaken the government of President Bashir Assad, of Syria. The Israelis believe that putting such pressure on the Assad government will make it more conciliatory and open to negotiations. The Redirection, Seymour Hersh This mirrors sentiments included in the Brookings Institutions 2009 report, Which Path to Persia? where it was stated that reaching some sort of conclusion with Syria first was a prerequisite before attacking Iran: the Israelis may want to hold off until they have a peace deal with Syria in hand (assuming that Jerusalem believes that one is within reach), which would help them mitigate blowback from Hizballah and potentially Hamas. Consequently, they might want Washington to push hard in mediating between Jerusalem and Damascus.-Which Path to Persia? page 109 (.pdf) Robert Baer, a former longtime C.I.A. agent in Lebanon, has been a severe critic of Hezbollah and has warned of its links to Iranian-sponsored terrorism. But now, he told me, weve got Sunni Arabs preparing for cataclysmic conflict, and we will need somebody to protect the Christians in Lebanon. It used to be the French and the United States who would do it, and now its going to be Nasrallah and the Shiites The Redirection, Seymour Hersh That the United States, Israel, and Saudi Arabia premeditated a regional conflict utilizing militant-extremists with full knowledge they would commit wide ranging, genocidal atrocities, is clearly as much in reality a war crime as the US State Department and US representative to the UN Susan Rice have claimed the Syrian government has committed as it desperately attempts to restore order in the face of an admitted act of foreign aggression. The Muslim Brotherhood is a Tool of US-Israeli-Saudi Machinations. The Muslim Brotherhoods rank and file surely believe in what they are being told by their leaders, but their leaders are professional demagogues peddling anti-Israeli and anti-American rhetoric solely for public consumption while being fully complicit in the Wests designs against the Arab World. Hersh reports that a supporter of the Lebanese Hariri faction had met Dick Cheney in Washington and relayed personally the importance of using the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria in any move against the ruling government: [Walid] 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. The Redirection, Seymour Hersh The article would continue by explaining how already in 2007 US and Saudi backing had begun benefiting the Brotherhood: There is evidence that the Administrations redirection strategy has already benefitted the Brotherhood. The Syrian National Salvation Front is a coalition of opposition groups whose principal members are a faction led by Abdul Halim Khaddam, a former Syrian Vice-President who defected in 2005, and the Brotherhood. A former high-ranking C.I.A. officer told me, The Americans have provided both political and financial support. The Saudis are taking the lead with financial support, but there is American involvement. He said that Khaddam, who now lives in Paris, was getting money from Saudi Arabia, with the knowledge of the White House. (In 2005, a delegation of the Fronts members met with officials from the National Security Council, according to press reports.) A former White House official told me that the Saudis had provided members of the Front with travel documents. The Redirection, Seymour Hersh It was warned that such backing would benefit the Brotherhood as a whole, not just in Syria, and could affect public opinion even as far as in Egypt where a long battle against the hardliners was fought in order to keep Egyptian governance secular. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, also interviewed by Hersh for his 2007 article, perhaps described best the geopolitical gambit the US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel were and are currently attempting to unfold: Nasrallah accused the Bush Administration of working with Israel to deliberately instigate fitna, an Arabic word that is used to mean insurrection and fragmentation within Islam. In my opinion, there is a huge campaign through the media throughout the world to put each side up against the other, he said. I believe that all this is being run by American and Israeli intelligence. (He did not provide any specific evidence for this.) He said that the U.S. war in Iraq had increased sectarian tensions, but argued that Hezbollah had tried to prevent them from spreading into Lebanon. (Sunni-Shiite confrontations increased, along with violence, in the weeks after we talked.) The Redirection, Seymour Hersh Indeed, divide and conquer has been used by empires since the beginning of time, and it appears that the very radical extremists the West has featured as civilizations greatest enemy in their fraudulent War on Terror is a creation and perpetuation of their own design. The role of Saudi Arabia and the Muslim Brotherhood, betraying millions of Sunni Muslims by exploiting their justified outrage of US-British and Israeli foreign policy, has resulted in terrorism and violence, both spontaneous and engineered, that has destroyed millions of lives. The very War on Terror is the management of these exploited and cultivated extremists: [Saudi Arabias] Bandar and other Saudis have assured the White House that they will keep a very close eye on the religious fundamentalists. Their message to us was Weve created this movement, and we can control it. Its not that we dont want the Salafis to throw bombs; its who they throw them atHezbollah, Moqtada al-Sadr, Iran, and at the Syrians, if they continue to work with Hezbollah and Iran. The Redirection, Seymour Hersh For Empire, not National Security. The only fault that can be found in Hershs tremendous journalistic accomplishment is perhaps the pandering to the notion that all of this demonstrative deceit and indeed, criminality, may be being done in the interest of protecting Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the United States. In reality, even the Brookings Institution, which was also included in Hershs report, admits that containing Iran is not a matter of national security for either the US or Israel (let alone Saudi Arabia), but a matter of maintaining the status quo, namely Western hegemony across the Middle East, with Saudi Arabia and Israel the principle dual benefactors. While behind closed doors US policy makers admit Iran, even if it were to obtain nuclear weapons, is driven by self-preservation and protecting the influence it is steadily gaining throughout the Middle Eastern region it borders, the message they desperately seek to relate to the public is one of an irrational apocalyptic theocracy eager to usher in Armageddon. However, reports out of the RAND corporation note that Iran has had chemical weapons in its inventory for decades, and other reports from RAND describe the strict control elite military units exercise over these weapons, making it unlikely they would end up in the hands of terrorists. The fact that Irans extensive chemical weapon stockpile has yet to be disseminated into the hands of non-state actors, along with the fact that these same elite units would in turn handle any Iranian nuclear weapons, lends further evidence to the conclusion that Iran is indeed driven by self-preservation and self-defense. Brookings notes on pages 24 and 25 of their Which Path to Persia? report, that the real threat is not the deployment of these weapons, but rather the deterrence they present, allowing Iran to counter US influence in the region without the fear of an American invasion. The US and the West in general, have viewed the Middle East as nothing more than a divided, broken Ottoman Empire to be used and exploited, and when nationalism or resistance emerges, to be pitted against itself in destructive conflicts. The fear of a powerful Iran overturning the status quo of Anglo-American hegemony expressed through proxies and multiple strategies of tension, Israel itself being one of them, would open the door for other nations to climb out from beneath the modern heirs of the British and French Empires and begin down the path of true self-determination. That includes freeing the people of Israel laboring under a hijacked government misleading them into a pointless and perpetual conflict with not only the Palestinians, but with the Islamic World itself. Indeed, the ploy described in incredible detail by Seymour Hersh in 2007, and demonstratively playing out before our eyes today, is not to protect against existential threats to the people of Saudi Arabia, Israel, or the United States, but against existential threats to their leaderships self-serving hegemonic ambitions. It is being peddled by a coalition of Saudis, Americans, and Israelis lying not only to the world, their allies, and their enemies, but to their own people about the nature of the conflict they demand troops and taxpayers to facilitate. Balking these murderous machinations is accomplished by Sunnis and Shiia not falling into the traps laid out by the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia in the form of the Muslim Brotherhood, and terror groups and civil society NGOs alike, cultivated by these admitted international manipulators. Christians and Jews must likewise avoid the contrived clash of civilizations between themselves and hordes of terrorists created and cultivated by their own demagogic leaders. Finally, it is essential that people around the world recognize that the corporations and institutions they patronize on a daily basis with their time, money, energy, and attention are the ones ultimately devising and driving not only these plots, but the disingenuous politicians and media personalities weve mistakenly placed our trust in. We must begin to boycott andreplace these corporations and institutions with genuine local alternatives or suffer the tragic conclusion of allowing such deceitful megalomaniacs construct an inescapable world order they shall presume absolute dominion over. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	DHS Training Local Police to Enforce Martial LawDave Hodges The Tenth Amendment provides for the division of power and law enforcement between the federal, state and local governments. Unfortunately, The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is changing the face of local law enforcement. DHS Original Mission In the aftermath of 9/11, DHS was created to protect the Homeland from further terror attacks from foreign-born terrorists. DHS kept us safe at the airports by goosing granny. They also protected us from the trauma of natural disasters through the use of FEMA, with such stellar performances like the one in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. And of course, FEMA has been instrumental in creating a multitude of so-called FEMA Camps which they say are to house a sudden influx of illegal aliens. Newsflash, there are 30 million illegal aliens here, you might want to roll back the covers and keep the soup warm. Of course, the camps are not for the illegals, they are for the citizens of this country who are deemed to be a threat to the rollout of martial law. Meanwhile, the real terrorists, al-Qaeda are being funded by the CIA in places like Libya and Syria. Meanwhile, back in reality, DHS was only created to pretend to thwart a foreign terror threat. The real reason that DHS has been created is now becoming obvious to all. With the advent of the MIAC Report which listed gun owners, Second Amendment supporters, Ron Paul supporters, Libertarians, Constitutionalists, Veterans and Christians as domestic terrorists. This was the real reason why DHS was created. Recently, DHS sponsored a self-study entitled, Homeland Security and Intelligence: Next Steps in Evolving the Mission, in which DHS proclaims that they are no longer concerned with foreign-inspired terrorism. They are only going to focus on domestic terrorism, ostensibly, against the American people. Does the DHS purchase of 2.2 billion rounds of info, the acquisition of 2700 armored personnel carriers and the beta test of martial law in Boston last April begin to make any sense? Obfuscation of DHS Original Charter Incredibly, DHS says that other agencies can deal with what once was the omnipresent and all-encompassing threat of terrorism that was initially used to justify DHSs creation, powers and huge budget. The report went on to say that There are enough agencies pursuing the terrorist adversary to allow DHS to build a new analytic foundation that emphasizes data, analytic questions, and customer groups that are not the focus for other agencies Subsequently, the real purpose behind the creation of this domestic East German Stasi secret police was to monitor and control the American population. Unfortunately, DHS has shared its high-tech toys with most local police departments and Sheriffs Departments and has, as a result, co-opted their local function. In other words, the federalization of local police forces, in violation of the 10th Amendment, is well underway. The early returns on this process are in and the results are extremely ugly. The DHS trains police that Christians and Libertarians want to kill them as do the returning veterans. The DHS is training local law enforcement that the people are their enemy. DHS has even gone so far to use pregnant women, old people and children as cutout targets for their drills. In short, they are being trained to attack America. Local law enforcement are being trained to use deadly force, even when its use is not warranted, against average Americans. Under the creation of the Unified Police Department (UPD) in Salt Lake City, Utah local jurisdictions and municipalities which were previously controlled by the Salt Lake County Sheriffs Office were reallocated to UPD. The UPD is a regional police force. They answer to no mayor, no city council and no county commissioners. The UPD is Salt Lake Citys new police department and serves as the model for the program which is being implemented in other police departments across the nation. It is clear that the police departments are being trained as the local enforcers of the coming martial law and they also being trained to use horrific brutality. The Murder of David Silva by the Kern County Sheriffs Department There is a new gang in Bakersfield, CA. No, it is not the Bloods, the Crips nor is it the Zetas. The new gang in town is the Bakersfield Sheriffs Department, as they did their best imitation last week as eight Deputies beat an unarmed David Silva to death while he was lying prone on the ground. Silvas crime was that he was drunk in his own home. Six sheriffs deputies and the sergeant involved in last weeks incident were placed on paid administrative leave, primarily for their own safety due to several email threats which have been sent to the department. All of the non-cop witnesses are saying that Silva didnt resist and the cops just murdered him. That, and the fact the cops confiscated the better videos from local citizens. Here is what the witnesses are saying about the murder of innocent civilian, David Silva. Michael Allison, recorded police officers on duty in his front yard inspecting vehicles he was repairing. The police cited Allison for failing to properly register his vehicles, and so he requested an ordinance review hearing. Allison now faces five felony counts, with each count carrying a penalty for 15 years in prison. For videotaping police and a court proceeding, Allison faces an unbelievable total of 75 years, or the rest of his life in prison under Illinois new eavesdropping statutes. Look at the out-of-control stampede herd of thugs belonging to the NYPD at the 135th Street subway station when Clive Utter allegedly jumped the turnstile. Utter was slammed into the wall, dropped onto the floor and cuffed by a mob of at least 25 officers. A bystander exercising his constitutionally protected right to film this act of police brutality was forced out to the street and was manhandled in the process. Utter was charged with resisting arrest, criminal trespass, theft of service, and criminal possession of a controlled substance. Can you imagine what would have happened to him if he pick-pocketed a wallet or snatched a purse? Utter, like Silva, would likely be in the morgue. Whats Next? Rendition Centers for Jaywalkers? America, we are living in unparalleled times. With the portion of the country awaiting a barrage of false flag attacks and the rollout of martial law, to be followed by war with Russia over Syria and Iran, these are uneasy times. If we had any hope that our police would defend the people from federal tyranny in the coming days and months, think again. The people are almost out of options, and options are something I will discuss in the next article.

2	Obama Refuses To Salute During The Pledge Of Allegiance [VIDEO] President Obama has made it clear that he does not hold himself to the rules that America has set out for him. However, when it comes to saluting the American flag during the National Anthem, one would think that even the most defiant of presidents would make an attempt to respect their country. That is not what happened with Obama. Footage shows the President standing outside with a group of fellow politicians, while a singer performs the national anthem. Obama is clearly shown standing still, with his hands by his hide instead of over his heart. What do you think? Does this speak volumes about Obamas true feelings about our country? Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	According to surprised neighbors, area resident Adam Brown doesn't look Jewish. 'It's weird,' said Kathleen Purdie, who recently learned of Brown's Semitic roots. 'I had no idea he was Jewish. He just sort of looks regular, with the light brown hair and light skin and all. Actually, I thought he was Irish or maybe even Scandinavian.' Added Purdie: 'Is Brown a Jewish name?' 
1	Frank Sinatras recent hospitalization has pulled the aging crooner into a virtual dead heat with comedian Bob Hope and former president Ronald Reagan in their hotly contested race to deaths door, it was reported Monday. 'We feel good about Mr. Sinatras prospects in this competitive graveyard derby,' said Dr. Ben Ellis, Sinatras personal physician. 'He is largely incoherent and responds poorly to bathing and feeding.' Despite Sinatras rapidly deteriorating condition, officials for Hope and Reagan are confident. 'Apart from one or two public appearances in the past year, Mr. Hope has been unable to function in any meaningful capacity outside his home,' a Hope publicist said. Reagan, meanwhile, is proving a strong contender with a progressive neurological disease eroding his very wits. Las Vegas oddsmaker Danny Sheridan has Sinatra a slight 5-3 favorite to depart first, with Reagan second at 2-1. 
3	Bill introduced to declassify opinions of secret court behind ordering all U.S. phone records from VerizonMadison Ruppert Yet there are major problems, as you will see below. Previous efforts to withhold court opinions The legislation, which is sponsored by a group of senators led by Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), is quite noteworthy because the Obama administration has fought tooth and nail against efforts to declassify Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court rulings. Still, senators have urged the administration to declassify the rulings or even summarize the opinions with no success thus far. When the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) attempted to obtain summaries of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Courts opinions which were supposedly given in whole to Congressional intelligence committees, they were given pages of wholly redacted files. All this despite the fact that the government admitted last year that on at least one occasion the court found that surveillance breached the Fourth Amendment. Secret law The legislation is called the Ending Secret Law Act, according to a document signed by Merkley and uploaded by Politico. This title may have been given since Merkley has previously referred to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) as a secret law in a Senate session. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) has also called it a secret law. Merkley has used this terminology because some of the courts opinions actually contain a significant interpretation of a public statute, as the EFF has put it, which means that there is a secret interpretation of publicly available law. Because a courts opinion constitutes the law, refusing to disclose those opinions to the public results in secret law, the EFF explained earlier this year. Americans deserve to know how much information about their private communications the government believes its allowed to take under the law, Merkley said. There is plenty of room to have this debate without compromising our surveillance sources or methods or tipping our hand to our enemies. We cant have a serious debate about how much surveillance of Americans communications should be permitted without ending secret law, he added. Problem supporters Unfortunately some of the senators behind the bill are far from consistent. Leahy, for instance, isnt what one would call a privacy champion (or all that dependable). Begich was a supporter of indefinite detention. Franken notably recently defended the National Security Agencys massive formerly secret surveillance program by saying, I can assure you, this is not about spying on the American people. Franken said he was very well aware of the surveillance programs since 2009. I have a high level of confidence that this is used to protect us and I know that it has been successful in preventing terrorism, Franken said. Problematic legislation The reason these types might be backing this type of legislation is because it actually seems to lack any and all teeth. The bill would require the Attorney General to disclose each decision, order, or opinion of a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that includes significant legal interpretations of section 501 or 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 unless such disclosure is not in the national security interest of the United States and for other purposes. Notice how it says unless such disclosure is not in the national security interest of the United States? Well, the Obama administration has already said that disclosing a secret court opinion related to the FISA Amendments Act could likely cause exceptionally grave and serious damage to the national security. Why would this be any different? Also obviously problematic is the and for other purposes language. That opens the door to any excuse under the sun. Yet it does include some admirable statements such as, Secret law is inconsistent with democratic governance. In order for the rule of law to prevail, the requirements of the law must be publicly discoverable. However, given the above language, it seems this particular piece of legislation is going to lack the strength one might have hoped for. That being said, it is almost certainly better than nothing. EPICs recommendations Last year, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) stated in testimony before the House Judiciary Committee that Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court opinions should be published before the FISA Amendments Act was renewed. On June 7, 2013 EPIC Executive Director Marc Rotenberg, National Security Counsel Jeramie D. Scott and Appellate Advocacy Counsel David Brody penned a letter recommending additional measures. In the letter, sent to members of the House and Senate judiciary and intelligence committees, they stated, The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ordered an American telephone company to disclose to the NSA records of wholly domestic communications. The FISC lacks the legal authority to grant this order. They further called on the House and Senate to, Immediately hold oversight hearings to determine whether the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court exceeded its legal authority when it authorized surveillance of solely domestic communications. Instruct the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community to investigate domestic surveillance under the FISA and Patriot Act and produce a public, unclassified report of his findings, they continued in their recommendations. They also called on the House and Senate to publish all substantive legal interpretations of the FISA and Patriot Act, specifically sections 215 and 702 along with all past orders and opinions of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court interpreting the FISA and Patriot Act. On a related front, there is the encouraging fact that a court ruled that the Department of Justice can no longer claim that the rules of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court prohibit disclosure of a particular opinion to the EFF under the Freedom of Information Act.

1	Seeking to honor filmmakers for fair and inclusive portrayals of the LGBT community, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation announced Sunday the establishment of a prestigious new prize to be awarded to any mainstream motion picture that gets even one thing right about being gay. 'We're not asking for a two-hour-long pitch-perfect exploration of the gay and lesbian experiencejust a single accurate, believable detail that feels in any way telling or true-to-life,' said GLADD spokesperson Cheryl Weingardt, who promised a major cash prize and high-profile award ceremony to any Hollywood director able to deliver a filmany film at allthat includes a brief on-screen moment in which a gay character seems even somewhat authentic. 'It can be a line of convincing dialogue, an emotionally honest reaction shot. All we ask is that you have someone gay in the frame for a couple seconds without it being completely insulting to the audience's intelligence.' Weingardt added that she hopes her grandchildren will one day see a popular movie in which a gay person's role isn't limited to being the main character's witticism-spewing confidante. 
2	Woman Dragged Away By Thugs, Concealed Carry Saves The Day [VIDEO] This is absolutely outrageous, but of course, the liberal media is hardly reporting on it. An elderly woman was recently robbed by thugs, when an outstanding citizen did what most people wouldnt and decided to intervene. Brenda Vasquez, who witnessed the incident, reported what she say to KHOU TV. This lady opens her car door, grabs the womans purse and they reverse, she began. While theyre trying to reverse, the lady is holding on to her purse still, chasing them all the way to the middle. Thats when a Good Samaritan decided to step in. And that Good Samaritan came out, drew his weapon, and scared them, Vasquez continued. And thats when he pulled them out of the car. Fortunately, he was able to keep the criminals held at gunpoint until police were able to show up on the scene. Could we get three cheers for our Second Amendment rights and a gun being in the hands of the right person?

3	NSA Knew of Flaw Three Years in Advance That Led To Cyber AttackBy Alice Salles The investigation is focusing on a theory that one of its operatives carelessly left them available on a remote computer and Russian hackers found them, Reutersexplains. Despite the anonymous sources comments, Reuters adds, investigators have not determined conclusively that the Shadow Brokers group is affiliated with the Russian government. The tools exposed publicly were used by NSA-backed hackers to exploit flaws in software developed by popular vendors such as Fortinet Inc. and Cisco Systems. Cisco is the largest networking company in the world and is oftenhailed as the single most powerful company in enterprise networking by experts. Reuters reports the NSA found out an employee or contractor made the mistake about three years ago during an operation that used the tools, but officials chose to forego acknowledging the mistake to the companies whose software had been compromised. Instead, they preferred to [tune] its sensors to detect use of any of the tools by other parties, especially foreign adversaries with strong cyber espionage operations, such as China and Russia. NSA officials claim this approach could help identify rival powers hacking targets, potentially leading them to be defended better. It might also have allowed U.S officials to see deeper into rival hacking operations while enabling the NSA itself to continue using the tools for its own operations. But as the NSA remained in the dark as to whether or not anybody had enjoyed access to these tools after the mistake since the agencys sensors did not detect foreign spies or criminals using the tools on U.S. or allied targets U.S. manufacturers affected by this security mistake werent warned about the potential ramifications. According to Reuters, the theory that a former NSA employee (or employees) may have left the tools exposed on purpose hasnt been ruled out. Nevertheless, the FBI is now focusing on the theory that a mistake was to blameand that NSA officials who were aware of the problem may have taken too long to act. Tech Dirt criticized the NSA for its negligence, claiming that allowing these tools to be left lying around as bait affects a great deal of Ciscos networking equipment. Despite the agencys previous comments claiming the agencypassed on information about vulnerabilities to affected companies 90% of the time, [a] number of products offered by US tech companies were also compromised for years. Tech Dirt added that the NSA has a long history of refusing to admit deploying its exploits in such an irresponsible manner has inherent dangers. Like any other agency, Tech Dirt continued, the NSA makes mistakes; the difference between the NSA and others is that when the NSA screws up, it exposes its willingness to harm American tech companies to further its own intelligence needs. Yet tech companies are asked to blindly trust the government and are criticized for refusing to build back doors into their software to satisfy the U.S. governments desires for access to technology used by millions of innocent Americans and foreigners. When faced with reports like this one, millions of Americans understand that governments incompetence should be taken into consideration by companies that make a living providing consumers with online privacy and security. So why do politicians continue to demand that boundless access to innocent Americans communications without the benefit of due processequals security?

3	Top Bush Era CIA Official Just Confirmed the Iraq War Was Based On LiesBy Claire Bernish This past Tuesday, the former presidents intelligence briefer lent yet more plausibility to that theory in an interview on MSNBCs Hardball, making an admission that the Bush White House misrepresented intelligence reports to the public on key issues. Michael Morells stint with the CIA included deputy and acting director, but during the time preceding the US invasion of Iraq, he helped prepare daily intelligence briefings for Bush. One of those briefings, from October 2002, is an infamous examplein intelligence history as how not to compile a report. This National Intelligence Estimate, titled Iraqs Continuing Programs for Weapons of Mass Destruction, was the ostensibly flawed intelligence cited continuously by Bush supporters as justification to pursue a war of aggression against Iraq. However, this claim is dubious at best, and serves more as a smokescreen to lend credence to a president who was otherwise hellbent on revenge against Saddam Hussein, as evidenced in his statement a month before the report, After all, this is the guy who tried to kill my dad. In the Hardball interview, host Chris Matthews asked Morell about Cheneys notorious statement in 2003: We know he [Saddam Hussein] has been absolutely devoted to trying to acquire nuclear weapons. And we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons. The following is the conversation that ensued: MATTHEWS: Was that true? MORELL: We were saying MATTHEWS: Can you answer that question? Was that true? MORELL: Thats not true. MATTHEWS: Well, whyd you let them get away with it? MORELL: Look, my job Chris MATTHEWS: Youre the briefer for the president on intelligence, youre the top person to go in and tell him whats going on. You see Cheney make this charge hes got a nuclear bomb and then they make subsequent charges he knew how to deliver itand nobody raised their hand and said, No thats not what we told him. MORELL: Chris, Chris Chris, whats my job, right? My job MATTHEWS: To tell the truth. MORELL: My jobno, as the briefer? As the briefer? MATTHEWS: Okay, go ahead. MORELL: As the briefer, my job is to carry CIAs best information and best analysis to the president of the United States and make sure he understands it. My job is to not watch what theyre saying on TV. Discussion continued: MATTHEWS: So youre briefing the president on the reasons for war, theyre selling the war, using your stuff, saying you made that case when you didnt. So theyre using your credibility to make the case for war dishonestly, as you just admitted. MORELL: Look, Im just telling you MATTHEWS: You just admitted it. MORELL: Im just telling you what we said MATTHEWS: They gave a false presentation of what you said to them. MORELL: On some aspects. On some aspects. And the host pushed just a little further: MATTHEWS: Thats a big deal! Do you agree? If they claimed they had a [nuclear] weapon, when you know they didnt. MORELL: Its a big deal. Its a big deal. Hes absolutely right, of course, and even further to that point, Morell made another admission of a direct misrepresentation: What they were saying about the link between Iraq and Al Qaeda publicly was not what the intelligence community had found. I think they were trying to make a stronger case for the war. Which the administration had to do, considering no such case existed. As a matter of fact, Cheneys statement directly conflicts with what the NIE actually stated, which is that the intelligence community only found a [lack of] persuasive evidence that Baghdad has launched a coherent effort to reconstitute its nuclear weapons program. Which is in line with the International Atomic Energy Agency report that came to the same conclusion: [W]e have to date found no evidence that Iraq has revived its nuclear weapons program. All of this solidifies what former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan resolutely stated about the US invasion of Iraq in 2004: I have indicated it was not in conformity with the UN charter. From our point of view and from the charter point of view it was illegal. The question most deserving an answer, and increasingly posed by the populace at large: If George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and others in the administration, deliberately misled the public on false pretenses, directly contradicted intelligence information through misrepresentation, and ultimately initiated a wholly illegal invasion of Iraq that led to the deaths of well over 1 million civilian, non-combatants; WHY have they not been charged with war crimes?

2	Here Are The Pictures From 92 Hillary Clinton Is Trying To Scrub From The Internet [SEE PHOTOS] Once again, Hillary Clinton has come under fire after a Clinton-Gore Confederate flag campaign button has surfaced. Although it is unclear whether the button was part of the 1992 presidential campaign, the button and other similar designs were sold on eBay. The Blaze reached out to the Clinton campaign at the beginning of the week to find out whether the designs were officially part of the campaign of Bill Clinton and Al Gore. They have not received a response. Hillary Clinton has also failed to respond to these inquiries, in addition to claims that her husband honored the Confederate flag as governor of Arkansas in 1987. Photos of the campaign have been release amid conversation following the shooting at Charleston, South Carolina. Liberals throughout the country have been calling for a ban on the flag in all state buildings and public places. Clinton spoke about race relations on Friday in San Francisco, and although she did not mention the flag then, she did call for removal of the flag in 2007 during her first presidential campaign. What do you think of the campaign advertisements? 
2	Blake Made A Huge Donation To Honor His Late Father, What The Hospital Did With The MoneyWOW Richard Lee Shelton, the father of country super star Blake Shelton, passed away in 2012 after fighting a terrible case of pneumonia. Blake was shaken when he received the news. The doctors did not expect Blakes father to pass, so everyone was in shock when he did. Blake immediately turned to God for answers. God helped Blake understand why his father was taken; God gave Blake peace. It has been four years since the passing of Blakes father, and Blake made a donation to the hospital. Blake made the donation with no expectation of what the hospital would do with it. Blake got his answer when he went and visited St. Anthony Hospital in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Haddad, a beautiful fountain was dedicated to Richard Lee Shelton. Blake took to twitter to express his gratitude to the hospital for dedicating such a lovely thing to his father. Blake made a blunder and said the hospital dedicated an entire wing to his father, but Blake went back and corrected it. A whole wing would be amazing, but also very expensive to have dedicated to you. In order to get a whole building a person would have to donate at least a million dollars. Will you send your prayers to Blake? 
1	The male population of a Kansas town was effectively separated into categorically distinct groupings by displaying either bravery or cowardice during a devastating F4 tornado that tore through the tiny community Wednesday, authorities reported. 'John Hastings' little girl was standing out in the middle of the field, but he just crouched under the porch while that burnout Derek McColl ran out to save her,' said Nemaha County Sheriff Bert Wyche, 53, whose own manhood was confirmed in the disaster. 'Ty Harding is only 6, but took his first steps out of boyhood when he calmly remembered what he learned in school and made sure his mother and dog got to the family cellar safely.' While the classifications of the town's females remained unaffected by their own actions during the tornado, three girls were reportedly made into women during the ensuing power outage. 
2	Obama Makes Unbelievable Promise To America If Donald Trump Wins In November According to reports, the White House is refusing to shut down rumors that Barack Obama plans to leave the United States if Donald Trump is elected president. White House press secretary Josh Earnest was asked directly if Obama would leave the country if Trump, a man he believes unfit to be president, takes office. Earnest flat-out refused to answer the question, commenting that Obama was campaigning to ensure that no one is forced to leave America because of a Trump presidency. The rumors have been circulating for some time now. A Canadian satire site latched on to those claims, asserting that Obama plans to move to Canada if Trump wins. Hes working very hard to make sure that nobody has to leave the country as a result of an electoral outcome that the president doesnt support, Earnest argued. We can only hope the Obamas make the decision to leave this country. We dont need them here. Do you agree? 
3	CA County Board Candidate Slams GMOs and Opponents in DebateBy Brandon Turbeville Hinton was also not afraid to raise the issue during the County Board of Supervisors debate held in April 2015. Indeed, in a world of corporate politics, it is rare to even hear the GMO issue being brought up, much less seeing GMOs so passionately opposed. But this is exactly what Hinton did as he took aim both at GMOs and Supervisor Luce when he stated this, Supervisor Luce denied the will of the public. We were 15 and 0 in support of this letter and he said, we must remove the words and state and submit this. He would only support federal labeling which we all know is never going to happen which 535 people there arent going to agree on this theyre so far away from it. Theres a 120 in the State of California Legislature that are much closer to doing this and we would have been much better to go with the state support. But the fact that he denied 15 and 0 unanimous support Hinton then transitioned to a personal story. He stated, Hintons statements were met with rapturous applause from the audience, something that is rarely seen in local election debates.

3	Psyop PsyenceJon David Miller A few examples of historical psyops include war, torture, public executions, assassinations, genocide, engineered pandemics, vaccinations, fluoridation, chemtrails, hypnotic television, movie and video game programming, false flag events, terrorism, security checkpoints, martial law and concentration camps. The hypnotic false reality most of us are presently living in is the result of the most elaborate psyop in known human history. Mass Hypnosis Little understood illusory images and symbols and their powerful references in human experience, mythology and theology, have long influenced consciousness. Social conditioning, selfishness, trauma, misunderstanding and complacency, have been the major factors in impairing the advancement of perception and insight, and preventing full clear conscious awareness for most people. Controlling Essentials For Continuity of Power A modern lifestyle has been fashioned by those in power, in which distribution of scarce fuel, remotely delivered metered energy, commercially engineered food, medicine and access to avenues of communication, are all owned and controlled by their corporate system. Over a very long period of time a multi-faceted operation to guide what the masses believe and accept about how things are has been developed. These controllers and their strategists and technicians have become masters of deception. Whatever developments can be utilized for their continuity of power are incorporated into their bag of tricks. If you watch television programs and commercials, or listen to the radio for either news or entertainment, or watch movies or play video games, think about what concepts, philosophies, technologies, social conditions, abuses and violence are being presented. What ideas or emotions are they attempting to cultivate in the audience? What are they suggesting about human relationships, family life and social conditions? Manipulated Science Silent Weapons Model For Social Control They wanted to know for sure if and how hard times would breed social disorder in the cities. Then they fostered crime, drugs and fear to affect the economy and the rest of the population. In addition to economic and crime factors, other controlled inputs include: advertising and product marketing, the media (the content and presentation of music, movies, news, radio and television), politics, education, sports and medicine. A reportedly leaked top secret training manual for those recruited to an in group of field agents for the control cabal was titledSilent Weapons For Quiet Wars. This text was supposed to be only for the eyes of those who were carefully screened for the right mindset. These selected insiders, ranging from brilliant psychopathic control freaks to hardcore thugs, were being thoroughly indoctrinated to work for hidden controllers. In this manual, the average person was made out to be an ignorant, self-pleasuring clod, who deserved to be guided, abused, mind controlled, poisoned, and gradually eliminated when their usefulness has subsided. Descriptions of conveniences and goods to be offered, manipulation via the media, and other methods of mass control were explained. It is eerie that this document described almost exactly how the bulk of the hypnotized population has been led over the last 100 years or so to accept: unhealthy food and lifestyle choices, fluoridated water, medical control of health, vaccinations, widespread use of drugs, chemtrail sprays in the sky, genetic modification, fear-inducing crime, financial limitation and distress, political propaganda, nearly continuous wars, increasing costs of energy, repeated costly replacement of communications technologies, widespread enhanced surveillance and restricted freedoms. These are the silent weapons for quiet wars against us. Memes can be social, economic, historical, political, scientific, religious, sexual, etc. They are used by the elite powers to guide people in thinking and social directions that are chosen for their purposes. For example, the War On Terror meme is the basis for a long term major psyop that has been the justification of the expanding surveillance and extreme security protocols. Memes may draw on previous social conditioning, including concepts developed and manipulated in education, entertainment, religion, etc. These are used in TV shows, movies, songs, even in comedy routines, to evoke assumptions conscious or unconscious. It is believed that the elite powers reveal their future intentions in their media projects, and that they may assume some kind of karmic justification in their giving the public a hint. They may also sometimes orchestrate public hypnotic rituals. Their strategists and agents have employed methods familiar to those involved in covert operations: distraction, diversion, false threats, false flag attacks, fantasy, spin, acting, deception, fraud, psychological pressure, public ceremony and more. The concepts, attitudes and behaviors of much of the worlds population have been secretly guided by those who control religions, governments, military forces, resources, major industries, technologies and the media. All these are used for setting conditions and influencing the common mindset. The power players are engaged in a multi-dimensional game of world control. They pull diplomatic, political, economic and media strings all over the globe, moving toward having everyone plugged into their system. Much of the population has become duped, ignorant and enslaved over the decades that the controllers have been using ever more sophisticated psyop techniques of mass hypnosis and mind manipulation, including: Through targeting of individuals with trauma-based mind control and psychotropic chemicals and frequencies in theMKUltra program and Project Monarch, and commonly done for generations to selected children by the Illuminati, hypnotized, deranged, programmed assassins, mass murderers, patsies and other operatives have been created on purpose. Many more changes in our world are being planned, orchestrated and executed by the leaders of theTransnational Interlocking Corporate Kingdom (The TICK). The goal is one global corporate state, with all citizens fully registered, pegged into the appropriate slots, compliant with the rules, tracked for good measure, and fully controlled or eliminated if not needed for their purposes. ELF Mind Control ELF waves generated by HAARP or other methods can be used to entrain and manipulate thoughts, feelings and behaviors in humans and animals. Our own brains cycle at these low frequencies, and are susceptible to targeted transmission of external communication. The brain has no firewall. It can be reached by Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) microwaves. Directed energy weapons are being used in military actions, by law enforcement, for behavior modification of inmates in prisons, to effect people in crowds, to influence populations, and even to control individuals. A few investigators have said they have found engineered items, nanobots (micronizedsmart dust), in fallout from atmospheric aerosol geoengineering (chemtrail) sprays. These microscopic crystals, many shaped like hexagons and pyramids, and intentionally designed, have been discovered in the chemtrail mix. These Are they attempting to turn us into transhuman robots? It may be possible with this technology, in conjunction with broadcast capability, like cell phone towers and the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), to deliver messages directly to our brains. Analysis by independent scientists suggests that these nano-crystal semiconductors are surrounded by an organic shell. These are being delivered into our bodies, seemingly to replicate highly engineered biotech devices that may be designed to change us into some type of hybrid human robots. The presence of the miniature devices inside us may make us more susceptible to communications to manipulate and control us, even more than they have been able to do already with television,fluoride, vaccinations, aspartame, electromagnetic fields, frequencies, etc. Even worse, it is conceived that the smart dust nanobots may be programmed to alter our DNA. A synthetic nucleic acid called GNA, or other genetically modified agents could be inserted into these devices for such a purpose. Some think that DNA could be used for individualized tracking, and possibly for targeted electromagnetic manipulation. Authorities have been collecting DNA from infants for many years, and now frequently from adults as well. DNA information is going into the the giant database with other personal information, including cell phone calls, emails, etc., so as much information as possible is being gathered about each of us. How might we each be uniquely programmed? What is possibly being created is an intelligent field of smart dust that we live and breathe in, controlled through programmed electromagnetic frequencies. What we are experiencing may be called transhumanism, a newer term for eugenics. For years there has been a concern about the RFID chips already being inserted into people for identification, tracking and commercial purposes. Many would want to refuse having one, considering that it may be what is referred to in The Book of Revelations as the mark of the beast. Now chips are so small there may be no way to escape having them inside us as we breathe these high tech devices in from the chemtrail fallout. If a cell phone can be reached via a specific numerical code, how about a brain being reached by frequencies coded for that particular brain? Just as there is a frequency assigned to the cell phones particular number, and how a wireless computer interfaces with the Web and is identifiable by frequency, you and everything about you could be known and controlled through frequencies interacting with the programmable microchips inside you, which you have breathed in or swallowed. What does this suggest about a staged event being generated using atargeted individual as an active perpetrator or patsy who is programmed to act from an alternative personality beyond the awareness of the normal self? Could this be done by a combination of hypnosis, trauma, training and ELF manipulation? Can people be disturbed mentally, traumatized, manipulated, made ill and even killed, all by frequencies?

1	After nearly 40 years of wacky, lighthearted comedic roles, actor Charlton Heston finally got serious Tuesday, accepting a part in a four-hour Biblical epic to air on TNT. 'I have spent my entire career doing pratfalls and mugging for the camera,' Heston said. 'Now I intend to wipe the smirk off my face and take on a serious, dramatic role.' In the TNT drama, titled The Holy Bible, Heston will play the Biblical character Moses. Asked if he expects the transition from comedy to drama to be difficult, Heston said: 'Get your stinking paws off me, you damned, dirty apes!' 
3	Roman Catholic Church continues to support Bishop convicted of covering up for pedophile priestMadison Ruppert, Contributor Unfortunately it seems that the Roman Catholic Church has absolutely no problem with these types of activities based on their reaction to this case, although to their credit they have removed some clergy in the past over sex abuse allegations. What might be even more troubling is that one such Catholic priest was later hired as a supervisor for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). That being said, they are about as far from blameless as they could get, since Pope Benedict XVI himself refused to remove a priest who molested as many as 200 deaf boys, even though several American bishops repeatedly warned them that failure to act on the matter could embarrass the church, according to church files newly unearthed as part of a lawsuit, according to The New York Times. The charges brought against Robert Finn were, in my opinion, far from adequate seeing as he was only charged with two crimes and only found guilty of a single misdemeanor charge. He was found guilty for failing to report a priest who had taken hundreds of pornographic pictures of young girls, according to The New York Times and each count carried a maximum penalty of up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. Ratigan plead guilty in August to federal charges of both producing and attempting to produce child pornography, and prosecutors have stated that they are looking to sentence him to life in prison for his crimes, although a sentencing date has yet to be set. However, Bishop Finn doesnt even have to actually face this relatively minor penalty. Finn was sentenced to a mere two years probation, suspended, according to Courthouse News. Personally, I find the excuses put forth by Finns attorneys to be nothing short of disgusting. Courthouse News reports, Finns attorneys said he should not have been charged because he was not the Dioceses mandated reporter under the law. That responsibility rested with Vicar General Robert Murphy at the time, according to The Associated Press. In other words, they claim that Finn shouldnt be responsible because it wasnt officially his job. Using this absurd logic, one might be able to justify never reporting any crime because no particular citizen is specified as the mandated reporter under the law. According to the British Guardian, despite advocates for the victims of clerical sex abuse challenging the Vatican directly and calling on the Pope to step up and dismiss Finn from his position, the church isnt budging. The bishop looks forward to continuing to perform his duties, including carrying out the important obligations placed on him by the court, said Jack Smith, diocese spokesman, in a statement. Even some Roman Catholics realize just how absurd this is and have launched a campaign to push for Finns resignation which includes a newly created Facebook page entitled, Bishop Finn Must Go. Since Pope Benedict XVI alone has the ultimate authority over bishops, all he would have to do is give the word and Finn would be removed. This is, in my opinion, a quite unlikely scenario given that, Through the decades-long abuse scandal, only one US bishop has stepped down over his failures to stop abusive clergy: Cardinal Bernard Law, who in 2002 resigned as head of the Archdiocese of Boston, according to the Guardian. One of the more troubling aspects of this case is the fact that Finn was actually aware of nude photographs of children discovered on Ratigans laptop computer in December of 2010 and still failed to turn him over to police, instead opting to send Ratigan to live at a convent in Missouri. According to court documents, the photographs were eventually handed over to authorities in May 2011 by Monsignor Robert Murphy against the wishes of Finn. Monsignor Murphy turned over the evidence after Ratigan continued to refuse to stay away from children and not take pictures of them. While Finn has apologized for the pain his actions (or lack thereof) caused, he still shows no interest in stepping down from his position. Now that our justice system says hes guilty, he has lost his ability to lead our diocese, said a member of the Catholic Church in Kansas City, Patricia Rotert, to the Guardian. Hes lost his credibility. There is turmoil and angst around him and I dont think he can bring people together. The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) is now calling for the Pope to intervene in the situation in a letter penned by SNAP director David Clohessy. Now, for the first time in US history, you have a diocese headed by a proven criminal, Clohessy wrote. You must act if you are serious about making the church safer for children, discouraging future cover-ups in child sex cases, and ameliorating the wounds of tens of thousands of suffering adult victims and millions of betrayed parishioners. According to Clohessy, dismissing Finn from his position would strongly deter other church officials from acting recklessly, callously and deceitfully in other child sex cases. Hopefully the Pope will no longer cover up the sexual abuse of children by priests, although given the Popes history and the Roman Catholic Church in general Im not going to hold my breath in anticipation.

2	Obama Flips Middle Finger At SCOTUS On Illegal Immigration Ruling... What Disgrace [VIDEO] In his last year as President, Barack Obama has made it abundantly clear that he is not going to let the Constitution, Congress, or even the Supreme Court stand in the way of his own, personal agenda. In response to a question about deporting approximately four million people affected after the Supreme Court upheld an injunction on his Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents policy, the president implied that he intends to ignore the high courts decision. Obama indicated that enforcement priorities already in place were not affected by the ruling. His also confirmed that deporting those in the country illegally is not a priority in his administration. In fact, he called illegal immigrants with roots in their communities low priorities. What was unaffected by todays ruling, or lack of a ruling, is the enforcement priorities that weve put in place, Obama commented. Our enforcement priorities have been laid out by Secretary Jeh Johnson and the Department of Homeland Security are pretty clear. What has changed is that the president will not be able to have access to some government benefits, like work permits and legal status. We prioritize criminals, we prioritize gang-bangers, we prioritize folks who have just come in, he concluded. What we dont do is prioritize people who have been here a long time, who are otherwise law-abiding, who have roots and connection of their communities, so those enforcement priorities will continue. Watch Obamas full response below and tell us what you think. 
2	These 15 States Finally Stand Up To Obama, Enough Is Enough According to recent reports, a group of 15 states have come together to file a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The suit is meant to stop regulations that would kill jobs, negatively affect the energy industry, and grant the EPA a dangerous amount of power. So far, the states opposing the new regulation include: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Virginia, Louisiana, Kentucky, Nebraska, Michigan, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Ohio, Wyoming and Wisconsin. With this rule, the EPA is attempting to transform itself from an environmental regulator to a central planning agency for states energy economies, West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey claimed in a statement regarding the suit. If the administration drags its feet, at the expense of the states and their citizens, the courts should grant us relief from a burdensome situation created by EPAs highly unusual approach here. What do you think? Do you oppose the new regulation? 
3	Report claims Norwegian trained by al Qaeda in Yemen plans to crash U.S. airline during OlympicsMadison Ruppert, Contributor According to a report in the Sunday Times, al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has recruited a Muslim convert from Norway to hijack and crash a U.S. passenger plane, citing intelligence sources. However, it is not yet clear if the target is actually any of the venues in which the Olympic Games are being held or if it is just timed to coincide with the major event. It is also unclear if this plot is real or yet another instance of state manufactured terrorism (which is all too common nowadays in the United States) engineered to keep the people in a constant state of fear and blind compliance. One noteworthy aspect of this report, which was also covered by Israeli news outlet Haaretz, is the focus on AQAP, the group which Anwar al-Awlaki was affiliated with. For those who dont remember, Awlaki was the American citizen who dined at the Pentagon and was later killed by a U.S. drone (which Yemen originally took credit for) based on justifications which are still withheld from the American people (but dont worry, Attorney General Eric Holder claims it counts as due process). Some interesting cases have been linked to AQAP and their alleged operatives like Awlaki (see this section on Wikipedia covering his alleged terrorist activities) including the latest would-be underwear bomber who was actually working with the CIA. AQAP has also been used in an attempt to justify the ludicrous new power over the private information of Americans given to the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) in March of this year. Now the AQAP bogeyman is cropping up in the UK in an alleged suicide plot involving a Norwegian citizen in his mid-30s. The most insane part of this story, however, is that they allegedly even have his name: Abu Abdulrahman. Furthermore, they know, according to the sources quoted by the Sunday Times, that he converted to Islam in 2008 and has been trained at AQAP bases in Yemen over recent months. According to the intelligence services, the AQAP likely will try to leverage the fact that Abdulrahman has a clean criminal record and since he is Norwegian, he would likely be able to travel across borders in Europe with very little in terms of restrictions. This is compounded by the fact that hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people will be flocking into the UK for the Olympics. British airports are, furthermore, suffering from a shortage of qualified passport officers and authorities have expressed concern that the border control will be swamped around the Olympics and many visitors will not be sufficiently screened upon entrance, according to Haaretz. That being said, Jonathan Evans, the head of the British domestic security service roughly equivalent to the FBI known as MI5, recently stated that the Olympics will not be an easy target. The games are not an easy target, and the fact that we have disrupted multiple terrorist plots here and abroad in recent years demonstrates that the UK as a whole is not an easy target, Evans said. However, this statement didnt stop him from striking fear into the hearts of the British people. Evans went on to claim that in back rooms and in cars on the streets of this country there is no shortage of individuals talking about wanting to mount terrorist attacks here, while also claiming that there is a major threat posed by Western Muslims who have been radicalized and trained in Yemen, Sudan and other countries, just to travel back and carry out attacks. Unfortunately at this point it seems that there is not all too much we can do buthope that the Olympics will be completely uneventful as far as terrorist activity either real or manufactured goes.

3	Are Individuals The Property Of The Collective?Brandon Smith The assumption often made amongst academia is that the philosophy that appeals most to our natural survival imperative and caters to our desire for innovation will eventually win the day. That there is no right or wrong side; only the effective, and the less effective. The advanced and the outmoded. The transcendent, and the archaic. It should come as no surprise then that most academics and prominent mainstream talking heads often sing the praises of collectivism as the inevitable champion in the war between cultural engines. Collectivism always presents itself with the flair and sexiness of the new, or the progressive, while individualism tends to wear the unpleasant battle scars of hard-earned principles and heritage. Collectivism is the hot looking but mentally unstable bombshell blonde making promises of excitement and long-term comfort she has no intention of keeping. She is so seductive not because she has any profound inner qualities, but because she has a knack for letting you believe she is exactly what you fantasize her to be. Only when its too late do you realize shes a psychopathic pill popping man-eater. Collectivism is, in fact, a bastardization of a more useful human condition; namely community. Inherent in all people is the need for meaningful connection with others, and thus, the world around them, without being forced to sacrifice their own identities and their own souls in the process. The best representation of this model is the idea of voluntary community, where individuals seek out each other and facilitate their own connections. However, if they cant find meaningful connection, many people will settle for whatever they can get. Karl Marx is famous for stating that religion is the opium of the people, a belief that communists like Mao Zedong adopted. But, Mao was not opposed to opiates for the masses per say, only citizen organizations that could not be controlled. Mao simply replaced the various deities of the Chinese people with the religion of the collectivist state. Like any opiate, collectivism instills addiction. The feeling of belonging to something bigger than oneself (even if it ends up being false) creates ecstatic euphoria, a euphoria that weakens as time passes unless the addict commits himself even deeper into the hive mind. Soon, every original aspect of the persons character is forgotten and replaced entirely by his hyper-obsession with the collective. The whole of his identity becomes a shallow product of the state and he may even defend that state, no matter how corrupt, to the death. He now treats any criticism of the system as a personal attack on himself, because everything he is has been given to him by the collective. If the collective is a sham, then so is he. Collectivism as a philosophy is a perfect tool for oligarchy. The men who dominate such systems rarely if ever actually believe in the tenets they espouse. They sell the idea of single-minded society as a nurturing light that will create group supremacy, prosperity, and perfect safety. But the truth is, they couldnt care less about accomplishing any of these things for the masses. They are only interested in exploiting the promise to galvanize the population into a fraudulent community, a dystopia in which the citizens police each other in the name of the state, giving the elites total dominance. The most vital aspect of the collectivist process is convincing the public that the individual citizen is not sovereign, but is actually the property of the group. Many readers have already witnessed this argument first hand in the statements of MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry, who believes your children are not yours to raise, but are products of the collective to be molded: But this is only a taste of collectivist zealotry at work. Here are just a few of the most prominent disinformation tactics and methodologies used by centralization cultists to twist the fabric of nations and enslave individuals 1) The Blank Slate Blank slate theory stems from the Freudian model of psychology and has been adopted and refined by modern mainstream clinical psychiatry. The theory contends that all psychological processes and character traits of an individual are merely products of repetition and memory derived through environmental experience. Psychiatry extends the theory into biology in the belief that all human behavior is nothing more than a series of reactionary chemical processes in the brain that determine pre-coded genetic responses built up from the conditioning of ones environment. The foundational assertion of blank slate theory is that human beings are born empty. That we are bio-computers; soft machinery, just waiting to be programmed. The blank slate argument is essential to the philosophy of collectivism. If every person is born without inherent characteristics or spirit, and all people are manufactured by environmental conditions alone, then, collectivists contend, there is no such thing as true individualism. Programmed people cannot act, they can only react according to their conditioning. Therefore, they have no inherent ability to choose, or to determine their own destinies. If a society can be convinced that this theory is fact, then the inner self (the source of individualism), no longer bears any meaning. The environment is then seen as the only determinant that people should care about. Environment becomes the sole master of their lives, and whoever controls the environment, controls them. The problem is, blank slate theory has been proven time and time again to be absolutely false. From the work of MIT professor Steven Pinker, to the psychological studies of Carl Jung, to the linguistic studies of Noam Chomsky, as well as numerous studies in mathematics, quantum physics, and anthropology; every field of science has produced more than ample evidence that human beings are not born as blank slates. Rather, they are born with the very building blocks of thought, language, mathematics, and even predispositions towards certain personality traits. The most important of all of these discoveries, though, is attributed to Carl Jung, who found that moral conceptions are in fact inborn. The existence of psychological dualities at birth (including an unconscious sense of good and evil) means that all people come into the world with the ability to CHOOSE. Environment only determines our lives if we allow it to. This is why the worst of men sometimes come from the most sheltered and safe environments, while the best of men often come from broken and terrible homes. Collectivists have struggled desperately for ages to deny or destroy the concept of inherent individualism. They want us to believe that everything that we have was given to us by them. As long as we know they have given us nothing, they can never truly win. 2) Individualism Is The Same As Selfishness Collectivists repeat this lie ad nauseum. The suggestion is simple even the smallest individual actions affect everyone, thus, everyone is culpable for the problems of the whole. And, if everyone is responsible for the problems of the whole, then everyone must take responsibility for everyone else. The job of society then, at least in the opinion of collectivists, is to keep every individual member of that society in line. One unruly cog could bring the entire machine to a halt. Anyone who refuses to submit to the directives of the group is bound to hurt the group, and is, therefore, selfish, or even criminal. The insanity of this way of thinking should be obvious. First of all, it assumes that the directives of the group are always logically and morally sound. It assumes that because the majority of people have come to a particular conclusion, that conclusion must, by default, be correct. The fact is, history has shown that at any given moment the majority is wrong about something, if not most things, and these mass trespasses against reason and conscience always end up being stopped by a minority of individualists. The greatest social achievements of mankind are the result of the ingenuity and courage of individuals who in turn inspired others. Perhaps the best possible thing is for the machine to be sabotaged at times by selfish individuals. Perhaps individuals are actually more necessary to the survival of the group than the group is to the survival of individuals. 3) The Family Unit Cannot Be Trusted To Raise The Next Generation In the quest for a collectivist system, all competing interests must be debased. The individual must have nowhere to turn for guidance or comfort but the system itself. Children become a highly sought after target, because their inborn personalities are easier to oppress, and because they are always dependent on someone for their survival already. The collective (usually in the form of government) desires to be that someone the child depends on, and so, the role of the parents has to be diminished. Collectivists in the U.S. use the It Takes A Village approach in order to marginalize the family unit and paint parents as secondary figures in the development of their own offspring. Under this philosophy, each subsequent generation is seen as a kind of commodity, a resource that belongs to the group and that must be protected from the damaging ideologies of the parents. One has only to examine the extreme politicization of American public schools today to see this process in action. The goal is to push the idea of family into obscurity, while forcing children into indoctrination factories that instill specific behaviors through fear, shame, and propaganda. No one, and no entity, however, has the capacity to care for any child more than that childs own parents. Some parents do fail in their responsibilities, but what kind of role model does government really make in their place? Governments lie, cheat, steal, rape, murder, and mass murder in order to get what they want. Government has nothing worthwhile to teach anyone, including our children. 4) Global Problems Will Be Solved By Collectivism I find in my examinations that the opposite is true. Most global problems are CAUSED by collectivism, not solved by it. The greater good is always subjective. The group will always be an abstract illusion held together by nothing more than the whims of the individual. And, in the grand scheme of things, only individuals make any difference in the course of human cultural development. The collectivist strategy requires the suppression of individualism, otherwise, they cannot obtain power. That means, the very bedrock of their philosophy is a threat to the security of the future. In their obscene quest to control tomorrow, they ensure that tomorrow dies. They promise community, and they give you isolation. They promise prosperity, and they give you servitude. They promise safety, and they give you a land of perpetual terror. They promise purpose, and give you insignificance. They promise peace, and they foment war after war after war, reaping turmoil all around us, as well as within us. Our only hope is to maintain the integrity of our heart, and our will. The proclamation that the individual is subject to the necessities of the collective is a con. There is no such prerogative. In the end, there is no power over us but that which we give away. The state doesnt matter. The group doesnt matter. The greater good doesnt matter. All that matters is the life of the individual. Each individual. For when all men rediscover their individualism, only then will we be able to move forward as a whole.

1	NEW YORKAt a press conference Monday, drug giant Pfizer formally introduced Hoagizine, a pharmaceutical-grade Turkey-Bacon-Guacamole Melt so delicious, it's only available by prescription. A pharmacist in Long Beach, CA explains the possible side effects of Hoagizine. 'Made with lean white turkey breast, hickory-smoked bacon, zesty guacamole, Boston leaf lettuce, and ripe tomatoes on crusty French bread, Hoagizine is indicated in the treatment of lunchtime satisfaction dysfunction,' said Stephen Spencer, Pfizer's head of research and product development. 'But Hoagizine is only available after consultation with a physician, so be sure to ask your doctor if this new sandwich is right for you.' The extra-potent sandwich passed rigorous testing in both branches of the FDA in February. In clinical trials, 96 percent of patients who administered the sandwich orally experienced a deliciousness they described as 'heightened,' 'intense,' or even 'overwhelming.' In the same trial, only 16 percent of those who received placebo sandwiches reported experiencing high levels of deliciousness. In preparation for Monday's announcement, Pfizer produced 800,000 units of the oral sandwich and distributed them to pharmacies nationwide. Additionally, Pfizer personnel sent out samples of Hoagizine and educated physicians on patient-screening procedures, treatment regimens, and serving suggestions. 'This sandwich is extremely effective in the treatment of severe acute and chronic hunger,' Pfizer spokesman Abdul Johnson said. 'For consumers who find that their regular sandwich is no longer effectively reducing pangs, the Turkey-Bacon-Guacamole Melt represents a good treatment option.' Johnson said Pfizer may soon offer an even more potent version of the sandwich, Hoagizine CM, which contains 10 grams of chipotle mayonnaise. Consumer interest in the new Turkey-Bacon-Guacamole Melt is high. Physicians filled thousands of sandwich prescriptions within 24 hours after it was made available. 'I guess I'm not the only one who finds regular sandwiches ineffective,' said Rock Falls, ID resident Lois Baird, as she sat in her physician's waiting room. 'Frankly, I'd just about given up on bread-and-meat treatments, but if this sandwich is going to help me eat a better, tastier lunch, I want it.' Baird added: 'I just hope it's okay to mix Hoagizine with the broad-spectrum soup I currently take at noon.' Although most insurance companies cover prescriptions for the Turkey-Bacon-Guacamole Melt, many physicians recommend that their patients stick to over-the-lunch-counter sandwiches. A doctor's order for the Turkey-Bacon-Guacamole Melt. 'Hoagizine is a powerfully delicious sandwich,' said Dr. Erin O'Malley, chief nutritionist at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. 'And there's the problem: It's overkill. Commercially available, high-quality sandwiches are delicious enough for 95 percent of the patients I see. Additionally, those patients who do actually require the extra zest and deliciousness of this medical-grade melt run the risk of becoming addicted to its scrumptious flavor. I consider the sandwich to be an emergency lunch option, for use only when everything on the menu looks so blah that it threatens to ruin your entire day.' Pfizer officials said the Turkey-Bacon-Guacamole Melt comes with some warnings, but that it poses few health risks and, for the most part, is made of all-natural ingredients. Those who are overweight, diabetic, or allergic to wheat or dairy, or have a history of heart disease are urged to seek medical counseling before ordering the melt, and women who are pregnant may require a second dose of Hoagizine. In Pfizer's lab tests, common side effects of the sandwich included a bloated or drowsy feeling, thirst, and a heightened desire for a side order of chips. If discomfort occurs, patients are urged to temporarily discontinue use of the Turkey-Bacon-Guacamole Melt and lie down on the couch. 'Side effects are certainly within the parameters established for commercially available lunch items,' Spencer said. 'The one thing we're concerned with is that, with regular use, the bacon and the guacamole could precipitate high cholesterol levels in some patients. But, hey, if your cholesterol does get a little high, that's why we make Lipitor.'

2	Obama Gets Rude Awakening Right After He Steps Of His Private Jet, He Never Expected To Be Met With This [VIDEO] Barack Obama and his supporters have long insisted that he is one of the most popular leaders in the world. So it must have been shocking when he landed in Greece this week and didnt get the open-armed reception he was expecting. According to reports from RT, more than 5,000 people in the Greek capital of Athens took to the streets to riot as Obama arrived in the debt-ridden nation. According to Greek journalist Aris Chatzistefanou, the people rioted in part because Obama has been unable to tackle Islamic extremists and the Greek debt crisis. While the Greek government is trying to present the visit of Obama as a visit of a peacemaker, thousands of demonstrators came onto the streets to protest US policy in parts of the world from Latin America to the Middle East, Afghanistan and Syria, Chatzistefanou reportedly said. The protesters then burned the American flag in protest of the United States. The government was trying to present to the Greek public that Barack Obama will come and help with the austerity policy that was imposed by the Troika, he continued. International papers called the protesters anarchists, claiming they threw Molotov cocktails and rocks at police who were trying to calm them down. Protests also broke out in other cities through Greece, including Thessaloniki, the countrys second-largest city. Chris Avramidis (@Chris_Avramidis) November 15, 2016 
2	Illegal Immigrant Posing With A Gun For A Selfie Accidentally Kills Himself 21-year-old Oscar Aguilar was recently killed after borrowing a gun, aiming it at his head, and posing for a picture. Aguilar was infamous for posting outrageous pictures on his Facebook account, full of pictures of him with luxury cars and beautiful women. Authorities can only assume that the illegal immigrant was attempting to take his tradition to the next level. According to local police, Aguilar was reportedly unaware that the gun was loaded while he carelessly waved it around. His neighbor, Manfredo Paez, heard the fatal shot. I heard a gunshot, and I heard somebody screaming and realized somebody was hurt, Paez told local reporters. I called the police straight away and when they arrived they found that he was still all alive. But not for long. Aguilar died on his way to the hospital. 
1	Sources are confirming that a sad fucking loser, who many speculate has no friends or anyone in his life to talk to, is currently attending a 1:30 p.m. screening of the film Red 2 all by himself. The poor bastard reportedly purchased his single ticket from a kiosk inside the theater complex, ordered a medium popcorn, a pack of Twizzlers, and a medium Diet Coke from the concession stand, and then proceeded to meticulously scout out a seat near the front of the theater, where, according to the pathetic dork, nobody really bothers you. Sources have confirmed that the only people the man has talked to today are movie theater employees. The fact that the man uses the ticket kiosk to avoid talking to theater employees is sad on a social and psychological level, reports indicate. I like going to movies alone, especially during the day when its not too crowded, said the sad man, who attended the first Red movie by himself three years ago, just last week saw World War Z alone, and, good Christ, made plans with himself to see Before Midnight on opening day last month. Its relaxing. Im not expecting too much from Red 2, but it should be fun, added the heartbreakingly defeated man, who sources believe must have given up on meaningful relationships long ago. I think Catherine Zeta-Jones is in this one. Staring utterly and completely alone at the movie screen in front of him, onlookers confirmed that the man opened his pack of Twizzlers, began eating them one by one, and seemed visibly engaged with the pre-movie trivia as well as the behind-the-scenes look at the new Showtime series Ray Donovan. In a sight that many later called devastating, the sad-as-hell individual who wasnt sharing his moviegoing experience with anyone was the only one in the theater to laugh out loud at the preview for Martin Scorseses The Wolf Of Wall Street and looked visibly surprised and intrigued when the words Directed by Woody Allen appeared toward the end of the trailer for Blue Jasmine. In addition, sources confirmed the poor sonofabitch acted slightly upsetas if his moviegoing experience had been disturbedwhen he had to sit up in his chair and make room for two other patrons who wanted to get by him to get to their seats. Theater employees are reporting the man knew exactly which refreshments to purchase, as though he had done this many times before. I like the previews, said the man, who, deep inside, must bejust must befucking miserable. I dont care when there are a lot of them. At night sometimes Ill just sit [alone] on my bed and watch movie trailers on my computer. Sometimes I wish that the film that was about to come on the movie screen were one of the ones from the previews; wouldnt that be cool if that happened once? the man continued, in what reports indicate could possibly be one of the most utterly pathetic sentences ever uttered by a human being. According to witnesses, the depressing loser, who was the youngest person at the matinee screening by a good 30 years, shifted in his seat as the movie began, got comfortable, and began sipping his soft drink and eating his popcorn, later saying that he likes to eat candy first and popcorn second so that the popcorn lasts through most of the film. The man also took care to shut off his cell phone and place it in the backpack on the seat next to his, which, witnesses confirmed, made it seem as if his backpack was his closest friend. The sad sack then watched the two-hour action-comedy all by himself, giggling at several Bruce Willis lines, but for the most part staring blankly at the movie screen. When the closing credits began to roll, the man grabbed his backpack and was the first one to leave the theater. It was okay, the man, who has reportedly reached an old enough age where its not inconceivable that hell be alone all his life, said. Nothing special. At press time, the heartbreaking loser had entered his apartment, sat on his couch, sighed, and turned on his television. 
3	Hillary Clinton Must Resign For Nuremberg OffensesCites false reports regarding Syria massacre to call for UN Chapter 7. Irresponsible warmongering leaves American credibility irrevocably damaged. Image: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has attempted on numerous occasions to leverage fabricated atrocities to stampede UN resolutions through the Security Council to allow the same destructive, tragic military campaign against Syria that was waged against Libya. Her latest outburst was so overtly fraudulent and patently false, her continuation as Secretary of State risks a permanent and exponentially accelerating decline in US legitimacy worldwide. The unhinged state of US foreign policy is exemplified best by this weeks Tremseh, Syria massacre. I was deeply saddened and outraged to learn of reports of yet another massacre committed by the Syrian regime that has claimed the lives of over 200 men, women, and children in the village of Traymseh. Credible reports indicate that this unconscionable act was carried out by artillery, tanks, and helicopters indisputable evidence that the regime deliberately murdered innocent civilians. Syria cannot be peaceful, stable, or democratic until Assad goes and a political transition begins. We call for an immediate ceasefire in and around Hama to allow the UN observer mission to enter Traymseh. Those who committed these atrocities will be identified and held accountable. As long as the Assad regime continues to wage war against the Syrian people, the international community must keep increasing the pressure on the regime to halt the violence and allow for a political solution to go forward. The Security Council should put its full weight behind the Annan plan for an immediate ceasefire and a political transition and make clear to the Syrian regime that there will be consequences for non-compliance. History will judge this Council. Its members must ask themselves whether continuing to allow the Assad regime to commit unspeakable violence against its own people is the legacy they want to leave. What US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton attempted to do, was to propose a UN Security Council resolution authorizing military intervention (and by consequence, long-sought-after regime change), then used fabricated reports to sell the resolution in the court of global public and diplomatic opinion. It constitutes an overt crime against peace, and conspiracy to wage aggressive war both Nuremberg offenses. Tremseh was a Battle, Not a Massacre As the facts emerge as to what really happened in Tremseh, Syria, it becomes clear that the US State Department, along with its British, French, German, and Australian counterparts, has attempted to sell yet another NATO war of aggression based on a patently false pretext. The New York Times in their article, New Details of a Battle Challenge Reports of a Syrian Massacre,reported that activists, the so-called Free Syria Army (FSA), and the Western-backed Syrian National Council (SNC) all gave conflicting reports. Not only that, but the UN confirms that Syrian security operations targeted specific rebel locations rendering Clintons accusation that government forces deliberately murdered innocent civilians a bald-faced lie. In other words, Hillary Clinton falsified her statement, given before the entire international community, claiming 200 men, women, and children were deliberately massacred, when in reality it was the Syrian military restoring order in the face of armed terrorists. After the military secured the Tremseh area, they put on display a vast cache of weaponry found in the area, as well as captured FSA militants including both Turkish and Libyan fighters meaning that those not killed in the fighting, were not executed as earlier reports falsely stated. Hillary Clinton Must Resign The generation preceding Hillary Clintons, those of World War II, swore never again to the tragedy of that global conflict. They also swore never again to the lies and manipulations that maneuvered millions of people across the globe into deadly conflict with one another. Hillary Clintons fabrications and attempts to foist yet another war constructed upon falsehoods betrays that promise made and thus betrays and jeopardizes the very foundation of all the West stands for. It is ironic that the very violence unfolding in Syria today, which Clinton would have the world believe is the work of the Syrian regime, was first blueprinted and orchestrated by the US during Bushs term in office. Indeed, according to Seymour Hershs 2007 New Yorker article, The Redirection, the US, Israel, and the Gulf State despots plotted to assemble and unleash a front of sectarian extremists to overthrow the government of Syria. It was during that time that the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood began receiving funding and support from the West while fighters and weapons were assembled in northern Lebanon under the watch of Saad Hariri. Not only has the Barack Obama administration, with Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, inherited and perpetuated this violent conspiracy against the Syrian people, it has inherited and perpetuated the dishonor and corruption of Americas remaining integrity and global goodwill. For Americas economy, which cannot shoulder another military adventure; for Americas honor which cannot find space to fit another scar; Hillary Clinton must resign, and those in Congress and throughout industry must remove support for those squandering the last of Americas once vast potential in pursuit of global hegemony. Surely Clintons resignation would be more symbolic than a serious blow to a system that is in reality driven by corporate-financier interests from amongst their think-tanks, lobbying networks, and media empires, but it would the beginning of a new paradigm signaling that the days of impunity for these special interests are drawing to a close. For the people of America, who most likely will not witness their Secretary of State resign in the wake of the disgrace and irreparable damage she has brought upon her nation, now more than ever they must be resolved to identify, expose, boycott and replace the corporate financier interests for whom Hillary Clinton works.

2	Obama Lied About Pakistans Role In The Special Forces Raid That Killed Bin Laden [VIDEO] Well, it appears that President Barack Obama has been caught in yet another lieand this one is among the worst yet. According to a report released over the weekend, Obama purposely deceived the public about Pakistans role in the Special Forces raid that killed Bin Laden. Some believe that his motive in doing so was to take more credit himself. The accusations reportedly stem from a piece written for the London Review of Books by Seymour Hersh, a Pulitzer-prize winning journalist. Hersh claims that Obamas address to the nation following Bin Ladens death cause chaos in the intelligence community. Obamas speech was put together in a rush, Hersh wrote. This series of self-serving and inaccurate statements would create chaos in the weeks following. Apparently, intelligence officials had no choice but to corroborate with his story. In his article, Hersh quotes officials from America and Pakistan, who have a very different story to tell. A few of Hershs most outrageous claims are listed below, courtesy of Daily Mail. The Pakistanis had been essentially holding bin Laden captive at the Abbottabad compound for years. The CIA learned of bin Ladens location from a Pakistani intelligence official who tipped off American operatives hoping to claim the $25million bounty on the terror leader not from interrogation of an al-Qaeda courier. Top American officials negotiated with Pakistani officials to let them carry out the operation to kill bin Laden on Pakistani soil. There was no vaccination program used to college the DNA from bin Ladens compound it was all made up as part of an elaborate cover-story after the fact. The Pakistani intelligence service, ISI, cut power to the neighborhood where bin Laden was hiding on the day of the raid and made sure no Pakistani forces would not interfere with the American choppers flying into sovereign airspace. There was no firefight during the SEAL raid the only shots fired were those that killed bin Laden, whom Hersh described as a feeble, unarmed man. Bin Laden was cut off from al-Qaeda at the time of his killing and was not running the terrorist group There was almost no useful intelligence information found his compound. After he was killed, bin Laden was not buried at sea, but instead buried in Afghanistan. Obama publicly announced the commando raid and claimed public credit for it, despite agreeing with the Pakistanis to keep the action secret for seven days and eventually say bin Laden had been killed in a drone strike. Obamas announcement badly alienated Pakistani leaders and all but obliterated the military and intelligence ties between the two nations. What do you think? Do we need Obama out of the White House immediately? Are you tired of being deceived?

1	Claiming it can barely wait any longer to weigh in on the former presidents eight years in office, history, the branch of knowledge consisting of the recorded past, reported today that its licking its chops to render a definitive judgment of George W. Bush. Oh man, Ive been holding out a while for this onejust let me at that fucker once and for all, said the ongoing timeline of human events, which acknowledged its been champing at the bit to properly evaluate the 43rd president since he left office in January 2009. Im raring to get that son of a bitch in my crosshairs, carefully analyze each of his foreign and domestic policies, and develop a consensus view of his administration that will endure in the annals of American politics. Lets do this! I swear, Im going to thoroughly and impartially assess the shit out of the Bush tax cuts, the TARP bank bailouts, and Abu Ghraib, history continued. And I can barely keep myself from scrutinizing the Patriot Act from both legalistic and moralistic standpoints right now. Just you wait until I get my hands on that thing. Telling reporters it practically salivates at the thought of critically examining the two-term president law by law and executive order by executive order, the all-encompassing compendium of human achievements said that when the time is right, nothing will be able to stop it from producing a single overarching assessment of the Bush legacy that will be learned and accepted by future generations of Americans for ages to come. History added that while it often takes decades for it to accurately parse the accomplishments and shortcomings of a presidency, its good to go on this one and vowed to jump at the first chance it gets to take a definitive position on the former commander-in-chiefs leadership abilities and the substance of his policies in light of readily available data on the U.S. debt, the environment, citizens standard of living, and outcomes of foreign conflicts. By the time that son of a bitch was reelected in 2004, I was already itching to parallel the Iraq War and the Vietnam War in rigorous intellectual detail, said the academic study of the past, noting that it is equally impatient to compare and contrast the administrations response to Hurricane Katrina with previous disaster relief efforts. Christ, I can already imagine going to town on the constitutional implications of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp or identifying and elucidating the effects of Bushs financial deregulation on the housing and credit crises. And if you think Im going to miss my shot to examine the bastards denial of climate change through the lens of contemporary scientific consensus, then youve got another fucking thing coming, the perpetually growing branch of knowledge added. History went on to say that it had already sized up numerous aspects of the Bush legacy for in-depth scholarly appraisal, admitting that it was eager to have its way with Bushs stances on stem cells, drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the near doubling of the national debt, the Battle of Tora Bora, warrantless wiretapping by the NSA, the nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court, Medicare Part D, and the 2003 Mission Accomplished speech. According to history, it has felt tempted on numerous occasions to issue an authoritative critique of Bushs legacy, either through an empirical analysis of the No Child Left Behind programs effects on academic achievement or determining once and for all whether the presidents authorization of enhanced interrogation techniques opened the door to torture. However, the academic discipline has consistently held its tongue, waiting until the right time to conclusively weigh the positive and negative aspects of the Bush administration before delivering its ultimate verdict. Do you have any idea how many times Ive wanted to just say fuck it and issue a definitive ranking of George W. Bushs presidency? asked the chronicle of all human events. But at least the longer I wait, the more Ill be able to savor my evaluation of the Bush eras political, economic, and societal impacts when the time finally comes to rate this cocksucker. God only knows whatll happen when I start doing that. The one thing thats for sure is that Im going to remember him as dumb as fucking dog shit, history added. But that probably goes without saying. 
3	Study Accidentally Finds Chemotherapy Makes Cancer Far WorseAnthony Gucciardi Beyond that, it even makes the tumor highly resistant to future treatment. Reporting their findings in the journal Nature Medicine, the scientists report that the findings were completely unexpected. Finding evidence of significant DNA damage when examining the effects of chemotherapy on tissue derived from men with prostate cancer, the writings are a big slap in the face to mainstream medical organizations who have been pushing chemotherapy for years as the only option available to cancer patients. The news comes after it was previously revealed by similarly breaking research that expensive cancer drugs not only fail to treat tumors, but actually make them far worse. The cancer drugs were found to make tumors metasize and grow massively in size after consumption. As a result, the drugs killed the patients more quickly. Known as WNT16B, scientists who performed the research say that this protein created from chemo treatment boosts cancer cell survival and is the reason that chemotherapy actually ends lives more quickly. Co-author Peter Nelson of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle explains: WNT16B, when secreted, would interact with nearby tumour cells and cause them to grow, invade, and importantly, resist subsequent therapy. Our results indicate that damage responses in benign cells may directly contribute to enhanced tumour growth kinetics. Meanwhile, dirt cheap substances like turmeric and ginger have consistently been found to effectively shrink tumors and combat the spread of cancer. In a review of 11 studies, it was found that turmeric use reduced brain tumor size by a shocking 81%. Further research has also shown that turmeric is capable of halting cancer cell growth altogether. One woman recently hit the mainstream headlines by revealing her victory against cancer with the principal spice used being turmeric. This accidental finding reached by scientists further shows the lack of real science behind many old paradigm treatments, despite what many health officials would like you to believe. The truth of the matter is that natural alternatives do not even receive nearly as much funding as pharmaceutical drugs and medical interventions because theres simply no room for profit. If everyone was using turmeric and vitamin D for cancer (better yet, cancer prevention), major drug companies would lose out.

1	Three hours after placing Al Gore in the 'dead' column, NBC News retracted its projection Tuesday, changing the vice-president's status to 'too close to call.' NBC's erroneous projection. 'I'm sorry, but it now appears that we reported Mr. Gore's death prematurely,' NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw announced on air at approximately 2:15 a.m. EST. 'The latest readings show his red-blood count down to 3.1. At this point, it could go either way.' Gore, shot Monday by a Republican sniper during a foray into the Bush-controlled territory of New Hampshire, has been clinging to life in a hospital just across the Vermont border. According to NBC News correspondent Tim Russert, nurses and anesthesiologists leaving the operating room at various points during a 14-hour operation on Gore were exit-polled regarding his chances of survival. 'When several sources reported a direct hit to the spinal cord, everyone thought it was all over,' Russert said. 'It turns out that report was erroneous. The shot missed the spinal cord by a hair's width.' Early in the evening, NBC's on-screen outline of Gore was colored blue, signifying life. At 11:17 p.m. EST, it turned red, indicating death. When word arrived that Gore had a pulse but no signs of brain activity, the outline reverted to its original uncolored state, meaning 'unconfirmed.' In the hours following the erroneous report, NBC was more cautious about making projections, posting the latest readings from Gore's blood-pressure monitor but refraining from speculating about his overall status. Democratic Party chairman Ed Rendell expressed anger over what he called NBC's 'shoddy, irresponsible journalism.' 'Who knows how this could affect how Gore is perceived when he attempts to gather military support in disputed states?' Rendell said. 'NBC should know better than to call the outcome of an operation before the body is even closed.' NBC was not alone in prematurely calling Gore's death. CBS, ABC, and CNN all made the same mistake. 'In our efforts to bring Americans the most up-to-the-minute news on the war for the White House, we made some hasty decisions,' CBS anchor Dan Rather said. 'I'd like to apologize to all of our viewers, as well as to the entire Gore junta.' 
2	2 Black Thugs Stab White Pizza Delivery Kid... Al Sharpton Nowhere To Be Found According to recent reports, 22-year-old Alexander William Burkhart crashed his car after being stabbed in Mount Clemens, Michigan. After investigations, authorities arrested two eighteen-year-old black males. Burkhart was delivering pizza at the time of the attack; still police claim that the two attackers were not motivated by robbery. He is just one of seven pizza delivery drivers to be slain by black men since July. Other victims include Michael Price (36), Robert Caudill (26), James Crabtree (45), Gordon Schaffer (22), Richard Yeager (35), and William ONeill (46). It is no surprise that we havent heard much about this in the media, but we imagine we would have if the racial roles were reversed. What do you think? Is there a double standard when it comes to what the liberal media deems newsworthy? Are these clearly hate crimes?

'For giving his life in the line of duty and selflessly serving his nation while being gay, Mr. Delacroix will be exhumed from Arlington National Cemetery and relieved of his rank and all attendant benefits,' U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said during the ceremony. 'We also ask that his mother return the American flag that was given to her at his funeral.'

2	Obama LIVID After Devastating Landmark Decision Made On Gun Law According to recent reports, the Obama Administration is fighting a gun bill endorsed by the American Suppressor Association and the National Rifle Association. The bill proposes to remove suppressors and silencers National Firearms Act regulations, and treat them as any other firearm. Under this law, gun purchasers would only have to complete a standard form before taking possession, which would expedite the now 4-month-long approval process. The Hearing Protection Act was introduced this week by 10 Republican co-sponsors. The Hearing Protection Act is the culmination of our efforts to enact pro-suppressor reform on both the state and federal levels, President Knox Williams told reporters. He went on to acknowledge that it will be a fight to get the measure through congress. Its enactment will result in safer and more enjoyable shooting and hunting experiences for generations of sportsmen and women to come, he went on. What do you think? Do you support this legislation?

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 has been living illegally in the United States under the name Lou Dobbs for 48 years. According to the Department of Homeland Security, federal agents stormed the undocumented immigrants 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. The selfnews will continue to report on this breaking news. 
3	Russia Decimates ISIS Oil Infrastructure with Biggest Bombing Raid in Decades, Missile StrikesBy Jay Syrmopoulos Over the last 48 hours, Russia has destroyed an Islamic State controlled oil refinery, a fleet of 500 ISIS controlled oil tankers used to smuggle oil out of Syria, and launched a massive sea-based cruise missile attack. On November 20, the warships of the Caspian Fleet launched 18 cruise missiles at seven targets in the provinces of Raqqa, Idlib and Aleppo. All targets were hit successfully, Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu told Russian President Vladimir Putin. There were 10 Russian warships that took part in the operation, six of which are in the Mediterranean. Over the past four days, Russian air forces have conducted 522 sorties, deploying more than 100 cruise missiles and 1,400 tons of bombs of various types, Shoigu said. He added that in a single strike on a target in Deir ez-Zor, utilizing multiple cruise missiles, more than 600 militants were killed. Earlier in the week, the Russian air force undertook one the most massive, and complex heavy bomber missions in modern history. In a clear escalation of the air war, 25 Backfire, Bear, and Blackjack bombers went on a coordinated, long-range air raid against alleged ISIS forces in Syria. All three types of Russian bombers can fly thousands of miles while carrying more than 20 tons of weaponry. Only the United States and Chinese possess similar heavy warplanes. Russia is focused on destroying the terrorists economic base, having targeted 15 oil storage and refinery facilities as well as 525 oil trucks, according to Shoigu. We stopped supplies of 60,000 tons of oil per day to the black market and terrorists are losing $1.5 million daily, Shoigu said. The fact that the Islamic State is making mountains of cash selling oil indicates that they are selling the oil to some entity. It would seem like an easy calculation to determine exactly what person, group or state is buying this oil. In fact, that information seems to be readily available. According to journalist Pepe Escobar, writing for RT: Turkish Socialist party member Gursel Tekin has established that Daeshs smuggled oil is exported to Turkey by BMZ, a shipping company controlled by none other than Bilal Erdogan, son of Sultan Erdogan. At a minimum, this violates UN Security Council resolution 2170. Under the light of Putins message of going after anyone or any entity engaged in facilitating Daeshs operations, Erdogans clan better come up with some really good excuses. This information only barely scratches the nefarious relationship between The Islamic State and Turkey. According to respected international security scholar Nafeez Ahmed, writing in Insurge Intelligence: A senior Western official familiar with a large cache of intelligence obtained this summer told the Guardian that direct dealings between Turkish officials and ranking ISIS members was now undeniable. The same official confirmed that Turkey, a longstanding member of NATO, is not just supporting ISIS, but also other jihadist groups, including Ahrar al-Sham and Jabhat al-Nusra, al-Qaedas affiliate in Syria. The distinctions they draw [with other opposition groups] are thin indeed, said the official. There is no doubt at all that they militarily cooperate with both. Shoigu made note that the number of aircraft taking part in the Syrian anti-terror operation has recently been doubled, and stressed that Russia was coordinating with French forces in the region, per President Putins orders, even if the U.S. continued to refuse to cooperate with the Russian forces.

The word has changed its meaning over several thousand years; today its common meaning is to destroy a large part.. Merriam defines it as to destroy a large number. Did in the time of the Roman Empire, not any more Just to be clear, the original concept of decimate meant to destroy such that the enemy was left with 10% of its forces, that is, to reduce it by a factor of ten. If one destroys 10%, as you have written, that would leave them with 90% left over, which is a setback but hardly dramatic. I understand and appreciate the conversation. I just think people use it because it sounds really cool and almost scientific. I find nothing reflecting your original concept. Where is this written? Hi Breakneck, Im not sure thats true, but I think there is probably a word for what youre describing. As has been mentioned here in other posts, the original meaning stemmed from Roman times and has been used all the way through French Army practice in WW1. It was a general term for a form of collective punishment in Army units, usually at the the company or battalion level, to execute every tenth man if the unit had shown cowardice or mutiny. In some armies, some men drew lots and were forced to pick the 10% of the men so that they would forever carry the shame of their action rather than feel lucky. Its a fascinating subject frankly. As with many other matters of etymology, its difficult to conclusively prove word origins one way or the other. And its probably even harder to convince everyone of ones contentions. Either way, I have always found etymology to be a fascinating study, and Im pleased to find others here who are willing to contribute. Me too, my friend. Yes! Finally, someone understands that we have not been mis-using the word all this time. It simply means to cause something to be reduced TO one-tenth of its former strength (or size, or numbers); at least that definition is consistent with the words historical usage. The modern confusion has arisen probably due to the words (Latin) root decimus which means tenth. Original use is not necessarily historical use, because we have periods and regions in history and ethiology while does not change for the words, linguistics records and study the changes in the usage of words. Decimate is what Romans did to their own army when it failed. They would kill every tenth soldier to encourage them to be successful. The French army did the same to their own soldiers in WW1 whenever they did not show enough fighting spirit. Trotsky did it to the Russians fighting the White army at the time, ushering in the Red terror and the Soviet Union which were to come and the death of 60 to 65 million Russians, slavs cossacks, Tarters, volga Germans, ect.. while he would read a book ISIS Can continue pumpingoil and refining it, but without tankers, destroyed all ny Putin, the oil and gasoline go no where, except for ISIS Japanese made Toyotas and American made Hommies. decimate I just feel like its a cool word and very specific word that was misused for so long by so many that it now officially means more stuff. Sounds like a good move for the Russian oil industryLOL And a bad deal for ISIS oil industry. Something wrong here. Russia with their firepower should have finished the battle against IS in 2 weeks. Theyre not all in the same place. Theyre mobile and fluid. Its not as easy as it seems. But you do make an interesting point, worthy of consideration. The spiritual center of ISIS is where it is. In and out, all of them in one way or another are mercenaries. No oil, no money no cause. They will not disappear but will fade out and have the same fate of the IRA, the ETA and other revolutionary movements in the world, but worse because will have no homeland to fight for. This is easy to say if you want to kill 500,000 civilians in 2 week and being critizised as was critizised Bill Clinton for massacre of Serbians in the 90s (collateral damage was his defense). However, having cut the supply lines at Turkey and have blocked the entry of Al Queida of Lybia at a port in Turkey was easier to do without collateral damages.The Turkey border was declared free fly zone forcing the Russians to use very expensive long range missiles. Took more than 2 weeks but the arteries and blood of ISIS were cut with the destruction of the oil tanker trucks of Erdogans brother. The problem now is the human shield that US put among the so called moderates that include Al Quaeda of Syria (Al Nursa). Next step is to close the circle by Assad at the west, Hezbollah at the south, Iran and Iraq (Shiha Muslims) at the east and the Kurds at the north, even if US does not move out its human shield. I have estimated that with the support of the French and Russian air forces ISIS will be swept in one week after it is left without supplies and money. Thereafter comes the unified autonomy of the Kurdish territory in Syria and Irak (Putin and Assads compensation to the Kurds for the assistance against, and punishment to, Turkey), the governance of the Syrian territory by Assad and the governance of the Iraqui territory by the Syrian, the expelling of Turkey from NATO, and an international criminal court for the survivors of ISIS leadership and soldiers of all ranks, for Erdogan, for Obama, for Hillary Clinton, for Barak Obama, for Victoria Nulan and for George Bush, listing ambassador Stevens as post-mortem defendant in absentia. Then allow the family of those killed victims and survivors of the massacre in France to sue Turkey for for have been facilitators of the terrorist attacks on 11/13/2015 to take Turkey into bankcrupcy to be sorry for have dared to be part of the New World Order and puppet of the CIA and Wall Street There could be plenty of oxigen in the air but without blood one dies. This is what Putin did to ISIS, leaving it without blood, without the oil infrastructure. No wells, no refinery and no trucks to smuggle the oil and its products by the Turks into the international and local markets. No blood oil and money for ISIS. Turkey must be expelled from the NATO, be ordered by the to pay restitution to Syria (and see if US dare to veto the resolution), separated from Turkey its Kurdish territory (the seed for a unified free socialist Kurdistan) and be considered a target for bombing by the NATO due to what Turkey did to France by supporting ISIS, using the rule that an attack to a member is an attack to all (and see again if US dare to oppose the bombing of the new Ottoman empire. Yeah, THATS really gonna happen. Im not buying any more Turkish taffy or gummy bears. Thats about all the impact I can make as an individual. As individual not only you can stop Turkish taffy and gummy bears. You can spread with you voice and pen that the problem are not the Syrian refugees but the New World Order which with its hawkishes wants to lead us to WW III. Read more on this website. Glad to see that there is one leader left in the world who knows (and cares) how to lead. Glad for Vlad! GOD BLESS RUSSIA AND PUTIN. Suck on that Obama, you piece of crap. Put me on the no fly list, I give a crap. Amen, when I get on the no fly list, then I will have achieved something. Tptb can suck my d__k Why wasnt ISIS wiped out in the early stages? According to international law, the Syrian government had every right to invite Russia to militarily intervene. The moment of assault came after ISIS has been fully trained and sent out to Western countries. This is the perfect set up for the metastasizing of the global war on terror. Dont forget, the FSB (current acronym for KGB) carried out false flag attacks in Russia, for which, whistleblower Alexander Litvinenko was murdered with radioactive polonium for revealing. Its Hegelian, the international bankers always control all sides. Its become quite obvious why Putin has an 80%+ approval rating amongst the Russian people. Aside his flaws, above all else he is a patriot, resolute, confident and with a positive plan for his country the very antithesis of Barack Obama. Oh, how long the next year will appear to be as Obama unleashes one unconstitutional outrage after another on the American people. To those who voted for him, youll suffer many of the consequences of errant executive actions along with the rest of the country. Flaws? next to hussien the Insane, Mr, Putin is a saint ! Putin is an intelligence analyst, not a saint. He went to a religious school but was trained by the KGB not to be a saint but to serve humanity, not just the Soviet state. Oh, Obama has a plan, all right. Obama has no plan. The New World Order has a plan for him envisioned by Malthus at the end of the XIX Century: POPULATION REDUCTION. I am talking about WW III. The problem is not Obama, but the New World Order and the CIA, for what JFK paid with his life. The choices were McCain and Romney, but not better choices. Obama has no guts because he still prefers to go in to history as a bad president than as a dead one, as did Lincoln and Kennedy, both opponent to the British intelligence and the New World Order. May be Obama can change his mind and be our sacrificial lamb. Do not believe that Hillary or Trump, Carlson, Rubio, Cruz, Graham, et al. can do better to avoid WW III, what ISISI is all about. The only non hawkishes are Sanders and OMalley. However, I do not know if they prefer to go into history as dead presidents. Hip, Hip, Hooray for RUSSIA!!! Thanks a million Russia, Dont forget about the ones here in america. Putin is taking care of ISIS militants in Russia and Syria but it is a problem of America to take care of those here, many of them non Arabs, looking without beards or jibabs like you and me. Just few of them are immigrants. The persons that I most admire to this day is Putin, a real man, Trump and Ted cruz Well, Hector, ONE out of three . STILL a LOW score!!!! Even when it is your right who you want to admire, be careful with admiring Trump and Cruz because Putin is not in a contest of popularity despite of his 90+% approval by the Russians. The issue is not to kill ISIS jihadist for the sake to kill them, but to stop the destabilization of world regions bt Wall Street and the CIA to create chaos, suppress civil liberties and give wellcome to WW III and to the New World Order with 1/10 of the global population left to serve the current 0.1% You gotta love the Russians! Theyve done more to crush Islamic State than our president would ever even think of! But then, the Russians are not at all worried about what some goatherd, in Trashcanistan is going to think about them. The Russians KNOW that Islamic State is their enemy and they are going to do whatever they need to, to defeat the bastards! The geopolitical situation is more complicated than thinking that ISIS is the enemy of the Russians. The real enemy of the Russians is Wall Street and its puppet the CIA that made a coup de stat in Ukraine and almost left the Russian army with no access to the Baltic and the Atlantic, if not for Crimea; and made another coup de stat in Lybia to expand terrorism into Africa, what Gadafi and Mubarak opposed. The CIA also created ISIS. Destroying ISIS is destroying the CIA and Wall street by proxi war in reverse. O n 22 April 2013 the bastards of the EU passed a law allowing member states to buy oil smuggled out of Syria from rebel-controlled areas. That, my friends, is the root of the IS problem. Putin put missiles to end the oil smuggling where the EU put a law to legalize it. At least Russia has a leader with some balls. It is not a matter of balls but of common sense in not surrendering to the New World Order, to Wall Street, to the CIA and to ISIS, all part of the same chest game, game that Putin commands as command Judo, a martial art that uses the force of the opponent. Link the dots and help me to stop WW III by spreading the voice of common sense. While I commend Putin for doing what needs to be done, please everybody dont think that he is in any way a friend to the American people. He would have us all executed in a heartbeat. I notice a lot of Putin sycophancy lately. Just sayin Well dont be commending your would-be executioner, then. Makes little sense, unless even you dont believe what youre saying. So you saying that I cant appreciate the fact that he is taking out ISIS, yet still see him as an enemy? Are you kidding? Yea it is great that he is doing that. But I dont think for a second that he is doing it for our behalf. Do you people really think he cares about the American people? And the reason I said what I said is because I have been noticing lately people talking about Putin the way Obambi zombies talk about him. Putin cares about Russia and Russia only (which is fine, he is Russian afterall). But again, dont think for a second that the Russian military would not put the shadow gov, the public gov or the people without batting an eye. He is no savior. In fact he may just be playing his role as controlled opposition. Its all theater. And keep in mind he is a former KGB officer and is or at least was a Mason. And he is to be trusted? The fact that you see him as an enemy is a testament to the brainwashing prowess of the global elite. You think you know me or how I think? You ever hear of controlled opposition? You know like Napoleon, Hitler? Putin and Russia are not our friend. And I have not watched TV or mainstream news for 5 years so please tell me how I am being brainwashed when I do not ingest any garbage from the puppet masters (the fact that you refer to them as elite tells me that you are the brainwashed one, my friend. There is exactly ZERO things elite about them and I will never refer to them by that name). So let me ask you this. What could possibly give you the impression he cares about the American citizens? Why would he absolutely not execute every single one of us if he had the chance? Why would you possibly see him as an ally? The whole US/Russia hating each other is all part of the global kabuki show the the banksters are running. Remember Obamas hot mic incident telling Medved (sp?) to tell Putin to wait til after his last election because he will have more flexibility? So call me brainwashed all you want. I dont really care what you think of me. Refute with an actual argument instead of personal attacks or shut up and be sure to learn Russian so you can beg for your new masters love. Putin sycophanacy all around. Its as disgusting as Obamo sycophancy. THEY ARE ALL ON THE SAME TEAM. Wake up people. I am subscribed to 5 news magazines from the right, deemed to be non-mainstream media. Anyone can be brainwashed by them in the name of God or liberty, if that anyone is anti-Wall Street and anti-greed, as are the editors of the Trumpet. According to the Trumpet, Napoleon and Hitler are the last 2 emperors of the Saint Roman Empire of the Catholic Church (the beast),leaving no room for Putin to be the sixth emperor because the beast of the Apocalypse has only 5 heads. While I pay no attention to Fox News I read the local newspaper and sometimes the New York Times. I hate the Washington Post and the WSJ out of my distate for Murdoch.The Nation, the Monthly Review and others magazines give what I was unable to find at Foreign Affairs but I wish to have more time to read. If you do not believe that elites control the information that you receive it is because you think that that happens only in Cuba, Russia, Venezuela, and China. Unfortunately even happens in Sweden because the freedom of press is for whoever ouns the press and the media, whether an individual or a state. To be free of brainwashing requires a lot of will power and it is only overcome, in a great deal, by critical thinking within a preformed set of values that your own prejudices lead you to establish. However, you chose cinism, the alternative to misinformation. Read more and you will find Hillary, Obama, Rubio, Carlson, Graham, Cruz, and Trump in the Hawks team. There is not Putin. At that team are not the members of the BRICS. At that team is not Hollande, at that team is not Bernie Sanders. William Burke, you are perfectly right.The masters formed the thinking of the slave and many slaves during the civil war voluntarily chose to be slaves.Uncle Tom dis not come from thin air. If you do not think for a second that what Putin is doing is in our behalf, you are right. Putin is attacking ISIS not even out of friendship for Assad, but for No, he would only decimate our shadow govt. America just keeps on decimating brown people for the sake of their own arrogance and exceptionalism. America keeps killing all human races, not just the brown race. To mention few after WW II: Indonesians, Vietnameses, Serbians, Afghans, Iraquis, Lybians, and Syrians are not brown. Putin is attacking ISIS not even out of friendship for Assad, but for the sake of humanity, particularly the share of this held by the Russians and his allies at the BRICS (Brazil, India, China and South Africa). ISIS wants to destabilize the world, together with Boko Haram in Africa, and what is left of Al Quaeda after Bin Laden was killed, if indeed was killed (I have not seen his cadaver but I have first hand information that after 9/11 he were in a hospital in Quatar to be treated for his kidney condition, of what the CIA had actual knowledge). Putin is ready to attack US but not with nukes, with the EMP weapon. This bomb only fries circuits, not lives.He has no plans to execute any one and he is not interested in dancing with us into WW III. HUM BAYBEE!!! Put em right in the pocket! Thank you, Vladimir. American citizens owe you an immense debt of gratitude. Nicely done, man. We should have put sanctions on Erddogan ..hes probably going to be toast with his own people after this I doubt anything will happen to him, he is just a partner in crime amongst his NATO dirtbag accomplices To toast Erdogan we need a free, unified and socialist Kurdistan lead by the KWP (Kurdish Workers Party), the political force behind the moderates in Syria, not fighting Assad but fighting for a free, unified and socialist Kurdistan. That is why Erdogan and US bombed the Kurds during this past election in Turkey. Al Nursa (Al Queada of Syria) is anther puppet financed by the CIA despite of the allegedly be in the list of terrorist organizations. With ISIS, Al Nursa is being toasted by the Russians. of the CIA. The negro sodomite obama just made the Russian army stronger. The negro is just begging you arrest him. He knows he does not belong there and is waay over his head. It is not time to blame the problem to the lack of brain of George Bush or the color of the skin of Obama. It is no time to blame the Islam and the 163 times that the Quoram instruct Mohammed followers to kill the infidels. It is time to estabilise the world with the BRICS project for development and peace, with new sources of energy, but clean, and new technologies and to reduce the population at long term with education, the Vatican roulette, with anti pregnancy pills and with the termination of unwanted pregnancies via abortions but not with nukes. But you just did blame George Boosh. So the rest of your comment is suspect. No, I said that it is not the time to divert us, the racist like you and the pedants like me, from stopping WW III. It is time to use technology for peace and to avoid abortions. Read all my comments at this page and vote for Sanders. Cui bono? Ask that to Winston Churchlil, who flattened Berlin before the Soviets entered the city. Rootin for Putin..Way to go man..Thanks.. Wish the Russians would release more video, I love watching muslims die. Seeing the launching of the missiles from Russia ships 1,700 miles away was impressive as was the bombing of the oil tanker trucks belonging to Erdoggans brother. Still I am missing the destruction of the ISIS HQ but still the Russians are pondering if it worth its destruction despite the woman and children lodged in that facility as human shield. Putin is no Clinton, who attacked Belgrade despite the thousands of residents killed (not human shields) that were deemed collateral damage. Putin is more of a decent human being than 0bama is, thats pretty sad but true. I think its more likely to send commandos in under air support than carpet bombing it but he will do whatever he needs to do. As a proud American citizen and ardent supporter of all things good about America I would like to thank President Putin for doing what Americas pro-Islam and closet Muslim anti-America President Obama wont do to destroy everything the evil terrorist Islamic State evil represents. Thank Putin also for being destroying th eUS military complex and Wall Street for which you are proud, by his proxy war in reverse, initiated in Afghanistan by the CIA in the 80s, which created the Taliban and Al Quaeda, bombed the World Trade Center in 9/11, destroyed Gadafis Lybia and have Mubarak in prison and created ISIL. As citizen of this world we must be proud that Putin has put riddles to the WW III against the New World Order. Thank you for the TRUTH ret us army Good bless the Russians. I am glad for your secularism reflected in the oo (double o). Oh hey, look everyone; a typo! God bless the Russians! God bless the Russians, the Americans, the Frenchs, the Chineses, the Japaneses and the rest of the world population and I wish that protect us from Wall Street, the CIA, the malthusianism and from the puppets created by all these evils: the mudejejeens (Taliban), Al Qaeda and its affiliates, Boko Haram, and ISIS. Specially that save us from WW III. Let us get united by the BRICS against the New World Order. Most of your above, agree 100%. Afraid the Federal Reserve System is being bankrupted and bought out by the UN (another corporation). BRICs may be a viable option to this corrupt corp (Fed) and all the franchise corporations that have usurped what was once a free Land (America) one can only hope, at this point. The BRICS is no alternative to the Federal Reserve system, not even to the World Bank, but to the IMF. It is not about monetary policy but about financialization of our future away fro the the Financial Imperialism (read Monthly Review) based on the US dollar. BRICS is about development to lift the poor of the world out of extreme poverty using the resources of those more fortunate. America was not free land but the land of the Native American Indians, which was usurped by the free man from Europe and the corporations brought with them. Now the free man is paying the price of that association, as America will pay the price for supporting ISIS and the American military complex. Hopefully God will bless us all to avoid WW III and the New World Order. Could it be they half heartedly take it in turns against ISIL?, it is much too slow, and I wonder why China If electronic voting in America was banned, and Putin was on the next ballot for USA -President he would Thats true! Unfortunately, non-American borns cannot become US president, otherwise Putin would surely be a shoo-in, electronic voting or not! God Bless Czar Putin! God bless the Great leader Putin ! ret us army 
3	California Is Turning Back Into A Desert And There Are No Contingency PlansMichael Snyder Scientists tell us that the 20th century was the wettest century that the state of California had seen in 1000 years. But now weather patterns are reverting back to historical norms, and California is rapidly running out of water. It is being reported that the state only has approximately a one-year supply of water left in the reservoirs, and when the water is all gone there are no contingency plans. Back in early 2014, California Governor Jerry Brown declared a drought emergency for the entire state, but since that time water usage has only dropped by 9 percent. That is not nearly enough. The state of California has been losing more than 12 million acre-feet of total water a year since 2011, and we are quickly heading toward an extremely painful water crisis unlike anything that any of us have ever seen before. But dont take my word for it. According to the Los Angeles Times, Jay Famiglietti is the senior water scientist at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory/Caltech and a professor of Earth system science at UC Irvine. What he has to say about the horrific drought in Californiais extremely sobering As our wet season draws to a close, it is clear that the paltry rain and snowfall have done almost nothing to alleviate epic drought conditions. January was the driest in California since record-keeping began in 1895. Groundwater and snowpack levels are at all-time lows. Were not just up a creek without a paddle in California, were losing the creek too. Data from NASA satellites show that the total amount of water stored in the Sacramento and San Joaquin river basins that is, all of the snow, river and reservoir water, water in soils and groundwater combined was 34 million acre-feet below normal in 2014. That loss is nearly 1.5 times the capacity of Lake Mead, Americas largest reservoir. Statewide, weve been dropping more than 12 million acre-feet of total water yearly since 2011. Roughly two-thirds of these losses are attributable to groundwater pumping for agricultural irrigation in the Central Valley. Farmers have little choice but to pump more groundwater during droughts, especially when their surface water allocations have been slashed 80% to 100%. But these pumping rates are excessive and unsustainable. Wells are running dry. In some areas of the Central Valley, the land is sinking by one foot or more per year. Are you starting to understand why so many experts are so alarmed? For much more from Famiglietti, check outthis 60 Minutes interview. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, essentially the entire state is suffering drought conditions right now. And as you can see from the map below, most of the state is currently experiencing either the highest or the second-highest classification of drought What are they all going to do when the water is gone? In some rural areas, reservoirs are already nearly bone dry. And in other areas, the water quality has gone way down. For example, in one Southern California neighborhoodblack water is now coming out of the taps Residents of a Southern California neighborhood are concerned about the fact that the water flowing out of the taps in their homes is the color black. Thats right; the water coming out of their faucets is indeed black not gray, not cloudy but black. Inky, opaque black water that the water company says is okay to drink. Those who live in Gardena, California, are understandably skeptical when asked to consume water that strongly resembles crude oil or something emitted by a squid. The water reportedly also has an odor of rotten eggs or sewer smell, according to one resident. Perhaps you dont care about what happens to California. Perhaps you believe that they are just getting what they deserve. And you might be right about that. But the truth is that this is a crisis for all of us, because an enormous amount of our fresh produce is grown in the state. As I discussed in a previous article, the rest of the nation is very heavily dependent on the fruits and vegetables grown in California. The following numbers represent Californias contribution to our overall production 99 percent of the artichokes Without the agricultural production of the state of California, we are in a massive amount of trouble. And of course there are other areas all over the globe that are going through similar things. For instance, taps in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo are running dry as Brazil experiences the worst drought that it has seen in 80 years. The world simply does not have enough fresh water left at this point, and that is why water is being called the new oil. The following comes fromCBS News Its been said that the wars of the 21st century may well be fought over water. The Earths population has more than doubled over the last 50 years and the demand for fresh water to drink and to grow food has surged along with it. But sources of water like rainfall, rivers, streams, reservoirs, certainly havent doubled. So where is all that extra water coming from? More and more, its being pumped out of the ground. Water experts say groundwater is like a savings account something you draw on in times of need. But savings accounts need to be replenished, and there is new evidence that so much water is being taken out, much of the world is in danger of a groundwater overdraft. And if scientists are right, what we are experiencing right now may just be the very beginning of our problems. In fact, one team of researchers has concluded that the Southwestern United States is headed for a megadroughtthat could last for decades Scientists had already found that the Southwestern United States were at great risk of experiencing a significant megadrought (in this case meaning drought conditions that last for over 35 years) before the end of the 21st century. But a new study published in Science Advances added some grim context to those predictions. Columbia University climate scientists Jason Smerdon and Benjamin Cook, and Cornell Universitys Toby Ault were co-authors on the study. They took data from tree rings and other environmental records of climate from the Southwest and compared them to the projections of 17 different climate models that look at precipitation and soil moisture. When they made the comparison between past and future, they found that all the models agreed: the next big megadrought is coming, and it will be way worse than anything weve seen in over 1,000 yearsincluding droughts that have been credited with wiping out civilizations. Needless to say, along with any water crisis comes a food crisis. Virtually everything that we eat requires a tremendous amount of water to grow. And at this point, the world is already eating more food than it produces most years. So what is going to happen to us as this water crisis gets even worse?

3	Jailed Hacker Guccifer Warns of Second Nuke False Flag Plan for US CityBy Paul Joseph Watson yeah sure.and as reported by the NYT?? Thats a joke. The propaganda is in full swing. Live in fear MFers cause thats what they want!! Provide real evidence, and names, so we may destroy them! Perhaps the earth will be consumed by the sun and God will sort the good and evil. That could not happen too soon. Curious point here. May not have been that good of a hacker as they are jailed. Honestly, if I chose cracking anyones system, you can be sure as most polticos are crooks, I would not leave traceable logs or any evidence with which to place me in jail. Yeah, real reknown hacker there for ya, all in jail and sh**. I got bridge in Broklyn to sell you real cheap too, if youre buying, call 1-800-Ima-Rube leave word for I. D. Iot. A decent hacker/cracker would not have been noticed, right? This is scary stuff (I admit), but if (and only if) it were to be true. More evidence is needed, especially since NYT cannot be trusted. Fear? No, not really fear so much as just laughing at their hi-lariously stupid bullsh**. Youre right in part regarding what I said. Hackers do not usually enter into the systems of other folks. Hackers are more concerned with can i get this bit of code to make me toast, coffee, flush the toliet in the morning despite it only being written to create a database entry? Why bother with the banal of looking at some other boring Joes drama? Nobody got anything worth stealing. If they did it wouldnt be connected. Besides, if a theif wants it, no lock made to stop it being pinched. Those breaking in are called crackers, mostly immature children who dont realize, nobody got sh** to steal. Another aspect to this is the adage, dont steal, the mafi, er government hates competition. They normally send apes on steriods to attack pacifists, call the apes police. No point putting a welcome out for them. Rather figure out how to make Lisp program designed to create another program in C, do something neat, wash my laundry. Something IS brewing, the zeitgeist of humanity feels the rumblings. The contemptuous taunting of NWO leaders, such as Jay Rockefeller are once again saying ALL they need to plummet the world into a never before seen Hell is another major event, like 9/11.(my interpretation of his ominous statement) Anyone who investigates any of the obvious lies, distortions and covert actors in the New Pearl Harbor know these fiends will stop at nothing to get their grotesque design fulfilled. 
1	TARRYTOWN, NYAlthough he's had nearly three months to meet people, local baby Joshua Goldsworthy hasn't made a single friend, according to those who know him. Friendless baby Joshua Goldsworthy spends another night alone. People who have met the quiet, stay-at-home misfit say that, while he's more interesting than he was two months ago, Joshua lacks the warmth, charisma, and empathy of a suitable companion. 'It's not like I hate himI just don't get a lot out of knowing him,' said 32-year-old Gretchen Sperber, a longtime friend of the Goldsworthy family. 'He's hard to read. Sometimes he'll stare at you for hours, other times he'll fall asleep right in front of you, like you're not even there.' As Bonnie and Jason Goldsworthy's first child, Joshua is predictably adored and indulged. With a toy-filled nursery, a favorite blanket, and a parent, aunt, or grandparent always close at hand, the blond, apple-cheeked little boy unquestionably receives adequate love and comfort. However, most psychologists agree that familial love cannot replace friendships with one's peers. Visitors to the Goldsworthy home often report having negative first impressions of Joshua. Out-of-the-blue crying fits, the tendency to yank at loose hair and earrings, and copious drooling are just a few of the antisocial traits he displays. Neighbor Lena Osterberg said that, two weeks ago, she cut a visit to the Goldsworthy home short after the self-interested infant committed a 'gross' indiscretion. 'I still can't imagine why he didn't excuse himself and crawl into another room,' Osterberg said. 'The stench filled the living room, and he just sat there and grinned.' Another acquaintance, who asked not to be identified, described Joshua's head as 'bulbous' and 'disproportionate,' and said the baby has 'pudgy, triple-creased legs.' 'May God forgive me, I know it's a sin to judge people on the basis of their appearance,' the anonymous source said. 'But he's like a monster. If you blew him up to normal size, people would scream in horror.' Although he responds to his doting parents, Joshua often alienates those outside of his family circle, according to his pediatrician, Dr. Martin Prushow. 'He seems to take interest only in people who are willing to nurture or 'mother' him,' Prushow said. 'Once in a while, you can coax a smile out of him, but only if you make a smiling face yourself. He's not a terrible person, but as far as actual depth, nothing.' Among non-relatives, perhaps the most acquainted with Joshua is 16-year-old babysitter Ashley Steinhoff. Though she meets with Joshua as many as three times a week, Steinhoff was quick to distance herself from the baby. ''Babysitter' sure, but I wouldn't say 'friend,'' Steinhoff said. 'I mean, it's not like I hang out with him for free. With my actual friends, I do things just for fun, and have full-sentence conversationsnot change their diapers.' Steinhoff did not rule out the possibility of a future friendship, but said that Joshua would have to 'quit being a baby first.' Although it is more than eight months away, family friends are already concocting excuses to skip 'Baby No-Friends'' first birthday party. 'I can already predict what will happen,' Sperber said. 'He'll smear cake all over himself, throw a tantrum when someone puts a party hat on him, and scarcely acknowledge his presents other than to gnaw on them. I've seen how this kid operates.' 
1	In the wake of Mondays terrorist bombing at the Boston Marathon, sources reported today the internet had come up with approximately 8.5 million leads on who might have committed the deadly terrorist attack. According to reports, in the hours and days since the bombing that killed 3 and injured countless others, internet users quickly took to social media sites, online news comment sections, and personal blogs to examine the evidence related to the crime and are, at press time, investigating over 8 million potential suspects. Photos taken at the scene clearly show a man on the roof in the background, Twitter user David Albrecht wrote on his feed Tuesday night in one of the millions of possible leads currently being pursued on the internet. Still unclear if hes involved in the attack or just an eyewitness. Definitely suspicious though, a follow-up tweet concluded. Among the 8.5 million leads that have been reported by internet users this week are the theory that the attack was carried out by a Saudi national currently in the hospital, along with suggestions that the Saudi national is actually aiding police with the investigation, and still other speculations that there is so Saudi national at all and that it was either an American right-wing extremist or an American left-wing extremist. Additional investigations by internet users have found that the attack was committed by either a lone attacker, a right-wing militia, a single Islamic jihadist, a consortium of Islamic fundamentalist groups, the U.S. Federal Reserve, North Korea, the Boston Police Department, the anti-gun lobby, the pro-gun lobby, or the marathons organizers. Sources confirmed that all of the 8.5 million theories have yet to be verified. The pressure cooker was filled with ball bearings and nails and was clearly wired by a professional, so you have to assume ex-military, right? wrote CNN.com reader Jason Hogarth in a user comment, pursuing a lead first posited five comments earlier by fellow CNN.com reader and investigator Michael567. Also, the fact that he hid the bomb and ran away suggests that he is likely not in a group, but it could just be a bigger diversion from whoever is really behind all this. So, part of me wants to say an Iraqi vet or an American al-Qaeda, added Hogarth, identifying two potential suspects. Maybe both. Despite some contradictory findings, several internet users have also yet to fully rule out theories claiming the victims of the attack were merely actors hired to participate in an elaborate event staged by the government. If they planned Sandy Hook, which they did, then they planned this one, too, read a Facebook comment from Sarah Lochstein, elucidating a theory based on high-resolution photos from the scene, eyewitness testimony, short clips of FBI statements in news articles, and her own reporting from extensive video rants posted on her YouTube channel at 1 a.m. Tuesday. This whole country is going to fucking shit and Obamas taking us down with it. It is time the people are exposed to who their leader really is, Lochstein said, in a separate report a half hour later. While still early in the investigation, experts believe the internet is likely to uncover crucial evidence in the coming hours that will likely result in anywhere between 20 to 30 million more leads on potential bombing suspects.

The video shows a man in red pants violently hurling bricks at a man in yellow, who is walking with a group of dogs. Although the video shows the man and dogs obviously walking away from the man in red, he decides to continue his actions. Its not long before the dogs decide to show the man who he is messing with. Watch the video below, and let us know if you think this guy got what he deserved. UPDATE: Sorry the video has been removed. 
1	President Clinton cited 'a profound lack of irie vibrations' as the main reason budget talks became dreadlocked this week. Congress and the President had been in negotiations since last October, but according to House officials, a common ground could not be reached due to 'a lack of positive riddims.' 'If only Ras Tafari were still with us,' Rep. Glen Browder (D-AL) said. 'He would have given us the wisdom to cut back on porkbarrel legislation and get the budget passed.' Sen. Al D'Amato (R-NY) added: 'Hopefully, we can reach some sort of bipartisan compromise and get this natty dreadlock resolved. Praise Jah.' After talks stalled again Monday, legislators tabled negotiations until next week, using the recess to get high. 
2	BREAKING: ISIS Releases New Beheading Video In Chilling Message To America As if the attacks weve seen at the hands of ISIS terrorists werent horrifying enough, the Islamic extremist organization has just released a video showing the beheading of three hostages in the middle of a busy street in Iraq. According to reports from Daily Mail, the size of the militant in the video has led to speculation that he is the 20-stone monster nicknamed Bulldozer. Bulldozer is known as one of ISISs most ruthless executionersbut he has always been careful to hide his identity on camera. Before beheading the Kurdish prisoners kneeling in front of him, the footage shows the executioner ranting to the camera, threatening the Kurdish Peshmerga forces that are attacking the Islamic State. He also targets Kurdish president Masoud Barzani. The footage is designed to send a clear message to European countries, and show the US that ISIS has little intention of slowing downno matter what we say. They have made it clear that their actions against Americans will be just as, if not more, ruthless. Is it time that Obama started taking this threat more seriously? 
3	President Obama, the New York Times, and the entire mainstream media declare full-scale war on the 2nd AmendmentBy Alex Thomas This attack on the 2nd Amendment and law-abiding gun owners has included a prime-time address to the nation as well as a front page New York Times editorial that attempted to shame the American people into accepting further restrictions on their right to bear arms. On top of that, a disgusting New York Daily News column actually compared a victim of the attack to one of the shooters themselves simply because the victim was an NRA supporter who expressed fear about Muslim-related terrorism. In a major prime-time address to the nation President Obama acknowledged that the attack in California was an act of terrorism before stating that Congress should move to further limit American gun ownership, this time under the guise of automatically banning anyone on aNo Fly List from purchasing or owning firearms. Congress should act to make sure no one on a no-fly list is able to buy a gun. What could possibly be the argument for allowing a terrorist suspect to buy a semiautomatic weapon? This is a matter of national security, Obama disingenuously argued. While ones first reaction to banningthose on a government no fly list from purchasing weapons may be one of agreement, the fact of the matter is that thousands (at least) of law-abiding citizens have been put on these no fly lists with absolutely no way of finding out why, much less ever getting off of them. A blanket ban on purchasing firearms for those on secretive no fly lists would literally allow the government to put any patriot or political opponent on one of the lists which would then unilaterally take away their 2nd Amendment rights. Couple this with the fact that numerous mainstream media pundits have already admitted that their plan for gun control includes eventual mass confiscation and a clear picture of what the President is really attempting to do emerges. In a surprising move even for the admittedly liberal leaning New York Times, the supposed paper of record decided to run a front page editorial denouncing American gun ownership in a transparent attempt at shaming Americans into accepting gun control in the wake of the California attack. Despite admitting that authorities were still searching for an exact motive for the attack, the Times wasnt deterred in the least bit to push their extreme position of not only a full on assault ban but the outright confiscation of all previously legally bought assault weapons. But motives do not matter to the dead in California, nor did they in Colorado, Oregon, South Carolina, Virginia, Connecticut and far too many other places. The attention and anger of Americans should also be directed at the elected leaders whose job is to keep us safe but who place a higher premium on the money and political power of an industry dedicated to profiting from the unfettered spread of ever more powerful firearms. It is a moral outrage and a national disgrace that civilians can legally purchase weapons designed specifically to kill people with brutal speed and efficiency. These are weapons of war, barely modified and deliberately marketed as tools of macho vigilantism and even insurrection. Americas elected leaders offer prayers for gun victims and then, callously and without fear of consequence, reject the most basic restrictions on weapons of mass killing, as they did on Thursday. They distract us with arguments about the word terrorism. Lets be clear: These spree killings are all, in their own ways, acts of terrorism. [] Certain types of weapons, like the slightly modified combat rifles used in [the San Bernardino attack], and certain kinds of ammunition, must be outlawed for civilian ownership. It is possible to define those guns in a clear and effective way and, yes, it would require Americans who own these kinds of weapons to give them up for the good of their fellow citizens. There you have it. Terrorists attack Americans and now all gun owners in the country should have their so-called assault weapons confiscated under the threat of government force, motive be damned. This is the authoritarian liberal mediamindset on full display once again. In a vile column published by the low standard liberal rag, columnist and authoritarian liberal Linda Stasi literally applauds the death of one of the terror attack victims all because he supported the NRA and had posted Facebook updates revealing his worry over Islamic terror in an admittedly non-PC way. They were two hate-filled, bigoted municipal employees interacting in one department. Now 13 innocent people are dead in unspeakable carnage. One man spent his free time writing frightening, NRA-loving, hate-filled screeds on Facebook about the others religion. The other man quietly stewed and brewed his bigotry, collecting the kind of arsenal that the Facebook poster would have envied. To Stasi and her allies in media and government, a NRA and Pamela Geller supporter is equivalent toa terrorist who murdered 14 people and injured 17 more. Make no mistake, as disgusting and deservedly dead as the hate-filled fanatical Muslim killers were, Thalasinos was also a hate-filled bigot. Death cant change that. But in the U.S., we dont die for speaking our minds. Or were not supposed to anyway. Thalasinos was an anti-government, anti-Islam, pro-NRA, rabidly anti-Planned Parenthood kinda guy, who posted that it would be Freaking Awesome if hateful Ann Coulter was named head of Homeland Security. He asked, IS 1. EVERY POLITICIAN IS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR? 2. EVERY POLITICIAN IS A MORON? 3. EVERY POLITICIAN IS RACIST AGAINST JEWS? He also posted screeds like, You can stick your Muslim Million Man march up your asses, and how Hashem should blow up Iran. Pro-NRA? You deserve to die. Labeled anti-Islam by the liberal media? You deserve to die. Disgusted at the practices carried out by Planned Parenthood? You deserve to die. This sick logic is sadly a part of the world view held by many on the increasing extreme left. Perhaps the most revealing aspect of these renewed calls for mass gun confiscation and the restriction or complete destruction of the 2nd Amendment is the fact that in California where the terror attack took place liberals have already passed some of the nations strictest gun laws. Literally every gun control law being pushed on a national levelhas already been passed in the state yet the American people are supposed to believe that all gun control groups and their billionaire backers want is common sense reform? The Associated Press reported this inconvenient fact: The deadly shooting in San Bernardino happened in a state with some of the nations toughest gun laws: California bars assault weapons, blocks the sale of large-capacity magazines and requires universal background checks for all gun purchases. Authorities say they believe attackers Syed Rizwan Farook and wife Tashfeen Malik had legally obtained two handguns and that two rifles were also legally purchased in California. Federal officials say the attackers had large-capacity magazines that violate California law in their SUV. Since the attack Wednesday at a social service center in Southern California, the states strict laws and the apparent legal purchase of the weapons have set off a debate over the effectiveness of gun measures and whether getting tougher would help prevent more violence. Clearly the actual facts of what happened in California matter very little to the gun grabbers who, in the past, have gone on record with their belief that eventually mass gun confiscation will be needed in America. To recap, authorities are claiming that two Islamic terror inspired radicals killed 14 Americans and injured over a dozen more yet the President and his liberal media allies are focused on further limiting law-abiding Americans access to firearms. This fact alone shows that the gun control lobby, complete with hundreds of millions of dollars in backing by billionaire globalists, will stop at nothing in their zealot-like mission to fully disarm the country.

Take this steamrolling of all these idiots and roll them right out of the country. If and when we get hit, if obama is on a plane out of here people take that as a clue to button the hatches and be ready.!!!! People have a right to defend themselves. We do not want to be dependent on a hostile government for that and everything else. People who dont understand this are deluded. What the powers behind this want is a nation without a middle class, totally impoverished (which Obamacare is ensuring is happening as jobs are cut because of it), and dependency. What demons these people are, but life is not designed as heaven on earth. Thank goodness for Texas and everyone outside of that state who will absolutely FIGHT to depend their right to defend life and property, their second amendment rights everyones life, not just their own. Places where concealed carry exist, have markedly lower crime rates, and as is always said, criminals will ALWAYS get guns. Committing no crime and no due process of law, this no fly list gun restriction is unbelievably unconstitutional and illegal!! I favor the Quit supporting them idea. Stop buying, dont go to work, stay home and pay no taxes just for 2 days, perhaps 3 days, and this will place a stop on this country in proportions that would be catastrophic to the gov. Then they will have to concede. The people hold the power if united. One day is close to a 15% knock. Go for Monday and/or Friday. A couple of lone wolf, murdering, duesh bag moooslims do their nasty business and we have to be careful not paint all muslims with a broad brush. But, since they used guns, we have to paint all guns and gun owners as potential terrorists. Only the intellectual libtard elites could come up with stupid excrement like that. They should also ban anyone who cant legally purchase a firearm from flyingI think many of the Hollyweird libtards may find issue with this but if you cant pass a NICS check your obviously of dubious character and would be a risk on an aircraft The gun grabbers should be charged with TREASON. While we are at war with unknowns who would kill us, their agenda is to disarm us so we cant defend ourselves. They need to have a fair trial, and if found guilty, then given a proper tar feathering and a rail ride down to the hanging tree, for a bodacious necktie party in their honor. If they dont like life here in the USA, under our Constitutional Laws, then there are plenty of other countries they can move to, before they get themselves into trouble. So, like the war on drugs increased the drug problem, and the war on terror increased the terrorist problem, should we now expect the war on legal gun owners to cause an even bigger gun problem?

2	Heres What Sarah Palins Planning To Get Obama Out Of Office Sarah Palin has been very vocal in the media recently about wanting to remove Obama from office. Things were only made worse after the horrible comments Obama made about the Constitution. We have a president who doesnt understand or just chooses to disrespect our Constitution, Sarah Palin, former Alaska Governor, said of President Obama recently in an interview with Fox News. Palin continued on to say that Obama has single-handedly shaped immigration laws, healthcare policies, and welfare programsall without the support and approval from the American people. What we need, accordingly to Palin, is a new energy. She is in support of electing officials who will focus on states rights, instead of the expanding power of the federal government. According to Palin, we need someone who will promise to pay whatever price it is going to take to protect our Constitution. What do you think? Do you agree with Palins statements? Will you help her get rid of Obama? Comment below. 
2	Female Pizza Delivery Driver Shoots Armed Thug In The Face After He Forces Her Papa Johns Pizza is standing by a pizza delivery woman who opened fire Sunday on an armed robber in an act of self defense. The pizza franchise told FoxNews.com Thursday the employee, who hasnt been named, will not be fired from the company. The employee was making a delivery in Decatur, Ga., Sunday night when a man approached her vehicle, forcing her onto the ground at gunpoint, according to the DeKalb County Police Department. The woman, who had a gun in her pocket, was able to fire at the man while on the ground striking the alleged assailant, identified as 24-year-old Donquaz Stevenson, in the face. Stevenson was later found in a neighbors yard and arrested, according to police, who said the pizza delivery might have been a setup. Local media outlets reported that a second suspect carjacked the delivery womans silver 2000 Honda Accord and remains on the run. Stevenson was charged with armed robbery and was being treated for a gunshot wound at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta. The delivery womans mother had told WSB-TV her daughter is worried she may lose her job because she was carrying a firearm at work for protection. While Papa Johns prohibits employees including delivery drivers from carrying firearms on the job, the pizza giant said Thursday the woman would not be let go from the company. She instead will be reassigned to another role, according to the company. Fox News Do you support Papa Johns for not firing this brave employee?

2	Trump Makes Massive Announcement On Hannity On Tuesday, Donald Trump appeared on Hannity to make an announcement about his plan to deal with illegal immigrants. During the segment, Hannity asked Trump how he would deal with people in the United States who have been here a long time and have had children. There could certainly be a softening because were not looking to hurt people, Trump responded. We want peoplewe have some great people in this country. We have some great, great people in this country, he continued. But were going to follow the laws of this country and what people dont realizewe have very, very strong laws. We want to follow the laws, you know, we have very strong laws in this country. And you know Bush, and even Obama, sends people back. Now, we can be more aggressive on that, Trump pushed. But we want to follow the laws. If you start going around trying to make new laws in this country its a process thats brutal. We want to follow the laws of the country, and if we follow the laws we can do what we have to do. The nominee also said that he would come out with a decision very soon about deportations. Originally, he was scheduled to outline his immigration policies on Thursday, but that speech has since been postponed. Comments made at his last town hall indicate that he may be moving away from his initial proposal to something more fair, but firm. What do you think of Trumps plans? 
1	Decrying needlessly confusing directions for the use and assembly of countless products, citizens across the nation are organizing advocacy groups to demand that American manufacturers simplify the instructions they place on packaging. Above: A new and improved Kellogg's cereal box featuring clearer instructions. 'I'm a busy father of three,' said Richard Graham of Chester, VA. 'I don't have time to wade through all those words and confusing pictures on the box of flavored instant-oatmeal packets. Why can't I just get the bowl of hot oatmeal without going through so much trouble?' On behalf of dissatisfied consumers like Graham, the Washington-based activist group Citizens for Easier Instructions has delivered an ultimatum to corporations: Replace current directions with easier versions or face a consumer boycott. 'We demand that product manufacturers provide their customers with intuitive, easy-to-follow directions featuring larger pictures, color coding, shorter words, and no words at all where a letter, number or pictograph would suffice,' CEI director Melanie Pruitt said Tuesday at a press conference kicking off the group's 'Crusade For Clarity '99' campaign. 'For too long, the people of America have stared blankly at monochromatic, densely printed lines of instructions on cans, bottles and boxes, straining to digest the elaborately worded directives. We say, 'no more.'' Pruitt, who nets a six-figure salary as one of the country's top instruction-clarity advocates, then unveiled a large placard showing the multi-step instructions on a can of Chef Boyardee beef ravioli. 'The first instruction, 'Empty contents into saucepan,' is only the first problem with this mind-bogglingly byzantine label,' Pruitt said. 'No clue is offered on how to retrieve these 'contents' from the hard, silvery shell surrounding them. In fact, our research staff has determined that a tool not included with the can is necessary.' Moving further along the label, Pruitt noted additional directions which would pose comprehension problems for the average consumer: ''Stir occasionally until hot,' the label instructs. How often is 'occasionally'? If I only prepare ravioli 'occasionally,' should I not stir at all?' Perhaps the label's most confusing factor, Pruitt said, was the existence of two separate series of instructions, depending on the heating device used. 'The already-baffling 'Stir occasionally until hot' is not even properly identified as the final instruction in the stove-top-specific set of instructions before the text flows right into the second set, making the cook think that the next step in the preparation process is 'Microwave,'' Pruitt said. 'The second set of instructions is even more paradoxical, demanding such tasks as, 'Stir once during heating,' despite the fact that the food product is heated in a microwave which ceases to function if it is opened to get at the food.' To avoid a consumer boycott, Pruitt recommended that the maker of Chef Boyardee print the words, 'Requires can opener, saucepan, stove and electrical power' on the front of every label in large letters, and present the instructions in the form of pictographs showing a gender-neutral stick figure traveling sequentially through all the steps of preparation, from opening the can to emptying the product into the saucepan, all through the cooking process, transferring the contents from the saucepan to a serving dish, and finally consuming the food using appropriate utensils. 'We believe the entire process can be rendered in as few as 22 pictographs, which could be large enough to be easily read if printed on the inside of the label,' Pruitt said. 'All that would be needed is an exterior instruction directing the preparer to remove the label and read the full, interior instruction set.' 'Corporations that fail to respond to the changing needs of Americans will lose customers,' she added. 'We as a people no longer have the time or patience to read lines of text and struggle to decipher their meaning.' Manufacturer Procter & Gamble has already announced it will soon introduce new 'EZ 2 Follow' instructions that will clearly spell out 'even the simplest and most obvious of operations.' The redesigned Old Spice aftershave lotion bottle, company representative Albert Conrad said, will feature explicit instructions regarding where and how to apply the lotion, as well as warnings not to drink Old Spice or use it as a marinade in cooking. Sheets included in other Procter & Gamble products will warn against eating Crisco straight from the can, squirting Vicks NyQuil into one's eyes, or re-using Tampax products. Many other corporations have already made moves toward similar changes based on the overwhelming number of questions and complaints they receive at their 800 numbers every day. 'I used to answer 30 to 40 calls a day from people asking what 'Apply liberally' meant,' said Carla Enway, an operator for Coppertone. 'My job has been a lot easier since we changed the bottle to read, 'Spread a whole bunch all over everything but your eyes and mouth.' 
2	School Shuts Down After Teacher Makes Students Practice Arabic Calligraphy According to recent reports, a Virginia county school district was required to close all of its schools on Friday, after it received immense backlash over a class assignment about Islam. The shahada excerpt the students were required to write in calligraphy is as follows: There is no god but God. Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. Other translations begin with: There is no god but Allah. As the information about the assignment spread, the school quickly received an inflow of outraged emails, phone calls and threats. The school district decided to close the schools in the area rather than risk disruption or violence on campus. Board members have not responded to requests for comments. This is just one of many cases breaking out throughout the nation, as teachers struggle to figure out how to talk to their students about Islam. Liberals are pushing to for the nation to accept Islam as a peaceful religion, but conservatives feel that there remains a threat in the religion that has led to numerous terrorist attacks on our country. Parents are concerned about a growing double standard in our country, where Christianity is being demonized and Islam remains on a pedestal. What do you think? Would you be upset if your children were given this outrageous assignment? 
3	Which Items Will Disappear First During A Major National Emergency?By Michael Snyder We can get some clues about which items will disappear first during a major national emergency by taking a look at where such a scenario is already playing out. One recent survey found that over 80 percent of all basic foodstuffs are currently unavailable in Venezuela, and about half the country can no longer provide three meals a day for their families. Thankfully, some stores still have a few things that they are able to offer, but other key items are completely gone. The following comes fromUSA Today Oh, there are some things to buy. Besides salt, there are fresh vegetables and fruits, dairy products but no milk, some cereal, lots of snacks and a few canned goods. The only meat is sausages;there are three kinds of cheese. The only problem: Akilogram of each costs more than a fourth of our monthly minimum wage of 15,050 bolivars. But basic foodstuffs the things most Venezuelans want to eat such as corn meal, wheat flour, pasta, rice, milk, eggs, sugar, coffee, chicken, mayonnaise, margarine, cooking oil and beef are conspicuous by their absence. And there is no toilet paper, no sanitary napkins, no disposable baby diapers, no shampoo, no toothpaste, no hand soapand no deodorant. Do you have plenty of the items in bold above stored up? If not, you may want to stock up while you still can. Venezuela was once the wealthiest nation in all of South America, but now lines for food often begin as early as three in the morning. Some people have become so desperate that they are actually hunting cats, dogs and pigeons for food, and there are even a few very sick people that have been killing and eating zoo animals. Someday similar things will happen in the United States and Europe, too. When that day arrives, will you be prepared? One of the things that got my attention from the article quote above was the lack of milk. My wife is always telling me that we should store up more dried milk, and I believe that she is right. Just imagine not having any milk and not being able to get any more. What would you do? Another thing that really stood out to me in the article was the fact that there is a severe shortage of personal hygiene items. Most people dont really think of those as prepper goods, but the truth is that life will become very uncomfortable without them very rapidly. What would you do if there was no more toilet paper? And if you have a little one, how are you going to manage without any diapers? In general, it is wise to always have an extra supply of just about everything that you use on a daily basis stored away somewhere in your home. The generation that went through the Great Depression of the 1930s understood this concept very well, but most of us that are younger have had it so good for so long that we dont even really grasp what a real crisis looks like. Another thing that we are seeing happen right now in Venezuela is the riseof a barter economy Many of my urban friends are now planting vegetables in their outdoor spaces if they have any or in pots. Another friend, who is a hairdresser, is charging clients food to do their hair. For a shampoo and dry, she charges a kilo of corn meal, saying that she doesnt have time to stand in line like some of her clients. As you prepare for what is ahead, you may want to consider stocking up on some items that would specifically be used for bartering in a crisis situation. For example, you may not drink coffee, but there are millions upon millions of people that do. In a crisis situation, there will be many that will be extremely desperate to get their hands on some coffee, and so any coffee that you store away now may become a very valuable asset. We live in a world where one out of every eight people already goes to bed hungry each night, and where one out of every three children is underweight. As global weather patterns become more extreme, as natural disasters continue to become more frequent and more intense, and as terror and war continue to spread, it is inevitable that the stress on the global food system is going to continue to grow. Today you can waltz into Wal-Mart and buy giant cartloads of very inexpensive food, but it will not always be that way. Unfortunately, more than half the country is currently living paycheck to paycheck, and most Americans do not have any emergency food stored up at all. In addition to food and personal hygiene supplies, here are some other items that are likely to disappear very rapidly during a major national emergency So in addition to food and personal hygiene items, you may want to do an inventory of the items that I have listed above and see where you may have some holes in your preparation plans. I understand that there will be some people that will read this article and think that all of us preppers are being just a tad ridiculous. But when a major emergency strikes this nation and you havent done anything to prepare, you will dearly wish that you had bothered to take action while there was still time remaining to do so.

One of the worst things you can put in your body from a health standpoint. You really should reconsider your nutrition priorities. Grass-fed whole milk is actually the healthiest food. It is only the factory dairy that is harmful to health. (source- Weston A. Price Foundation) I agree Jubei processed (homogenized) milk is the worst. Raw milk might be ok but only after someone volunteers to test, not me. Hoarding is ABSOLUTELY STUPID if you cant defend your stockpile. and if Hillary is votescammed into office, expect swarms of drones to come knocking on your doors. A WELL REGULATED MILITIA, being necessary for the security of a free state.. DEPUTIZM PLAN, people. WAKE THE FRIG UP. Top priority is water. Then toilet paper and food. Weve got about 80 jugs of distilled water in the basement, and survival food with a (claimed) shelf life of 25 years. You should have enough to survive for a minimum of one month. We also have water-purification supplies for when the distilled water runs out. Also medical supplies; medicines you need and all the stuff you take for granted, but which could prevent a minor problem from becoming life-threatening: Antibiotic ointment, bandages, peptobismol, cortisone cream, etc Also cash because the ATMs probably wont be working. Ive stocked up on baking soda, apple cider vinegar, rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and epsom salts. Dried milk is extremely unhealthy! Source- the Weston A.

1	Citing unsafe practices and potential toxic contamination, the Environmental Protection Agency shut down a small ghost- entrapment operation in downtown Manhattan today, and had four of the business' spectral-containment specialists arrested in the process. According to EPA agent Walter Peck, employees of the companylocated in an old fire station in the Tribeca neighborhood of New Yorkhad repeatedly refused to grant him access to their storage facility, which posed a health hazard to the surrounding community. EPA agent Walter Peck 'The facility in question unlawfully used public utilities for the purpose of non-sanctioned waste-handling, and was in direct violation of the Environmental Protection Act,' Peck said. 'Additionally, this company possessed several unlicensed portable nuclear accelerators that were frequently discharged within mere feet of civilians.' Some who witnessed the arrests felt that Peck had launched a personal crusade against the business, possibly due to a previous verbal altercation with one of the ghost-removal professionals, former parapsychology research professor Dr. Peter Venkman. 'It definitely seemed as though Agent Peck had an ax to grind,' said Consolidated Edison technician Brian Holmes, who was ordered by Peck to turn off the containment system located in the basement of the company's headquarters. 'I had never seen anything even resembling that type of equipment before. I was extremely hesitant to shut it down, but I didn't want to lose my job.' Though its incarcerated employees were unavailable for comment, the company released a statement denying any wrongdoing. The statement also repudiated claims that those associated with the spectral-entrapment operation were afraid of any individual ghost, and went on to say that the act of capturing said ghosts simply made them 'feel good.' Despite being a relatively new discipline, specter reclamation, more popularly referred to as 'phantom-busting,' has enjoyed enormous success in recent weeks due to a massive increase in paranormal phenomena in the New York area. While it is not known exactly what has caused the spike, some believe it may be related to an Upper West Side apartment building around which several witnesses have reported electromagnetic interference and dense, swirling cloud patterns. Over the past month, the company has had other brushes with the law, including implication in the destruction of a luxury Midtown hotel's opulent ballroom, but it has nonetheless become a popular fixture in the city. Many New Yorkers, including environmental policy expert David Napoli, jumped to the defense of the four embattled ghost-disposal experts. 'This business fills an important niche, and because of the EPA's complete lack of technical knowledge concerning the equipment in question, government intervention was totally unwarranted,' said Napoli, echoing popular public support for the paranormal specialists. 'The people who are really going to suffer are those in need of the unique services that companies such as this provide.' 'I ask you: What if there were something out of the ordinary, perhaps ghost-related, in the neighborhood in which you lived? Who are you gonna contact?' Napoli added. The EPA has reportedly angered some local officials who claim the agency rushed to shut down the facility. According to Capt. Kevin Houlihan of NYPD's 5th Precinct, paranormal disturbances in Manhattan have increased exponentially since the decision was made to seize the operation. Houlihan cited several instances of blood running down walls, canines and felines cohabitating peacefully, and, perhaps most alarming, the potential for 'mass hysteria.' 'The city is in chaos,' Houlihan said. 'This is typical federal interference in an area that should have been left to local experts who have the proper tools and sufficient talent. We need the [employees of the paranormal investigation firm].' At press time, representatives from the firm were meeting with New York Mayor Lenny Clotch to discuss the growing spectral plague, despite fierce protest from Agent Peck. The talks have reportedly not proceeded beyond an animated debate over whether or not Peck has a penis. 
1	After missing four consecutive days this week, sources close to Marcus Vick confirmed that the former Virginia Tech quarterback is considered unlikely for his Sunday afternoon shift at Sbarro. Marcus showed a lot of promise early on, but its looking increasingly doubtful that hell be on the floor this weekend, branch manager Glenn Bailey told reporters, adding that lingering issues had prevented the former athlete from fulfilling his role as the restaurants go-to cashier. Everyone on my staff would be thrilled if Marcus showed up at 100 percent this weekend, but with his history thats just wishful thinking. While Sunday is a huge day for us and we could really use him, I cant help but feel that his professional food services career is over. Restaurant insiders have speculated Vicks absence may provide a valuable opportunity for his current backup, former No. 1 draft pick and Sbarro trainee JaMarcus Russell.

1	In preparation for the fast approaching 2013 MLB preseason, the leagues pitchers and catchers reported to spring training for their annual delousing, sources confirmed Friday. Every spring, we make sure to give these guys a lice shampoo treatment, a rigorous once-over with a steel comb to get at any nits, and destroy their infected uniforms and caps, Milwaukee Brewers head athletic trainer Dan Wright told reporters while applying a thick, full-body lather to reliever John Axford and battery-mate Jonathan Lucroy. Its a long offseason, and sometimes our pitchers and catchers pick up a little something that you dont want them bringing into the clubhouse. This procedure ensures that they start spring training clean, happy, and healthy. According to league sources, the MLB has required all ball clubs to thoroughly delouse their pitchers and catchers since 2006, when Oakland As backstop Jason Kendall was responsible for an outbreak of pubic lice that spread like wildfire throughout the American League. 
3	After Fighting for Freedom, 76-yo Vet Sentenced to Die In Prison for Treating His Illness With CannabisBy Claire Bernish Brooker had been treating multiple chronic conditions with cannabis he grew in his sons backyard; but when officials in Alabama officials discovered the three dozen plants, they threw him in prison for life without the possibility of parole. Thanks to a pointless mandatory minimum sentencing catchall and the Supreme Courts refusal to hear his case this week Brooker has been left little recourse but to ultimately die in jail for treating his ailments with a plant. Alabama, like three other states, mandates a life without parole sentence for simple possession of small amounts of marijuana by people with certain prior felony convictions and Mr. Brooker had been convicted of a string of robberies twenty years earlier in Florida, crimes for which he served ten years in prison, The New York Times explained. In such a case, the law doesnt require prosecutors to prove any intent to sell the drug. Essentially, Brooker has been imprisoned twice for the same crime because he sought relief from nature instead of arguably dangerous, legal and often lethal pharmaceuticals, courtesy of Big Pharma. Worse, Alabamas already irrational law sets the cutoff in a case like this at 2.2 pounds (1 kilogram), and Brookers plants weighed just 2.8 pounds but that included unusable parts, like stalks and leaves. Make no mistake this is an unjust law, an unjust conviction, and a ridiculous capitulation by the Supreme Court to Alabamas archaic notion a nonviolent offense should somehow land a vet behind bars for life and separate him from his medicine as if law were an inflexible monster to be beholden to, no matter its worth. In fact, as the Times pointed out, [W]hile the sentence was mandatory, the prosecutor was not required to bring the precise charges that triggered it. Prosecutorial discretion here, as in most cases, is a central factor in determining what punishment defendants face. In other words, the prosecutor railroaded Brooker over his personal, medicinal plants by choice. Brooker, who joined the U.S. Army at age 17 and came under fire in both Lebanon and the Dominican Republic, eventually rose to the rank of sergeant in the 82nd Airborne where he was decorated for infantry service. Vox reported that even notoriously conservative Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore characterized Brookers sentence as excessive and unjustified. And according to the Times, the judge deciding the vets fate would have preferred to hand down a lighter sentence, but once the charges had been brought as they were, he was obligated to enforce the letter of the law. Yes, this disabled man technically broke the law; but proffering such a rebuttal rings hollow, if not cold, considering the majority of Americans support cannabis legalization. Legality does not dictate morality. A growing segment of officials and public figures do, as well, as The Free Thought Project reported recently, more than 1,000 police, world leaders, celebrities, and others signed a letter calling to summarily end the disastrous war on drugs. In fact, though little comfort to Brooker now, the Drug Enforcement Agency will likely downgrade cannabis from its inexplicable Schedule 1 classification to Schedule 2 as early as July of this year. Note that while a plethora of viable arguments can be asserted for rescheduling, considering states with laws like Alabamas and cases like Brookers the slight concession by federal law would make a comparative, whopping difference. Brooker attempted to bring his case before the highest court in the land as an inarguable violation of the Constitutions ban on cruel and unusual punishment to no avail. The courts stonewall, in itself, could be considered as much in an increasing number of states, Brookers so-called crime would have been perfectly legal. For now, though, it appears the 76-year-old will suffer the consequences of bad policy, unjustifiable law, and the cruelty of ostensible authority figures who were all just doing their jobs. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. I have a strong feeling that big pharma (aka big banks/rockefeller owned medical cartell etc) are pushing for cannabis prohibition. on the other side, their pawns like Soros push for legalization, I am asking what is going on. Lesson: do not live in one of these shithole states. I will soon begin to treat my cancer with legal cannabis in California. This vets crime was to live in a cesspool like Alabama I want to add. Tho this Vet no doubt thought he was fighting for freedom, he was not. He was fighting in an unncessary or criminal war designed not to bring freedom but to insure US control. Hello The absurdity is so far removed from common sense and takes the form of machine sentence The Green Party will defend the therapeutic use and also bury the laws that have condemned millions of citizens imprisoned for their continence. The Green Party needs your commitment and that of millions of enthusiasts to clear the site of social and environmental disasters that threaten today and tomorrow. Rape a child, get two years; treat your illness with a non toxic, natural plant from Mother Natures pharmacy, get life without parole. Way to go,USA.

2	Geraldo Calls The Constitution Bullsh*t Goes On Epic Rant And Bashes America Fox News Geraldo Rivera has become one of the most hated hosts, and he only seems to be getting more extreme and ridiculous each day. At the first day of this month, following the Roseburg, Oregon shooting, Rivera took to his Facebook page to call the Second Amendment bulls***. He then went on to advocate for more armed guards. Read Riveras full comment below: The mass murder at Umpqua again reveals we are a gun sick nation. All the 2d Amendment bullshit aside, the gun lobby controls the country, and allows armed maniacal lunatics to roam free and kill. That said, isnt it malpractice per se for any educational institution not to have at least one armed guard on campus trained and ready to fight gunfire with gunfire? Cops are great, but unless someone is right there, armed and ready, locked and loaded, innocents will continue to be slaughtered by gun-empowered, penis-envying, disgruntled, self life-hating, sicko creeps who got someone devoid of conscience to sell or give them a deadly weapon with which to take the lives of people much better than they. What do you think? Does Rivera need to be fired from Fox News immediately? 
3	Economic Bizarro World: Persistently High Unemployment And Skyrocketing Bond Yields Are Good?Michael Snyder And if the labor participation rate in this country was at the level it was at prior to the last recession, the official unemployment rate would be sitting at 11.1%. But according to the mainstream media, all of this is wonderful news. It is like we are in some sort of economic bizarro world where bad is good and down is up. When the jobs numbers were released on Friday,Business Insider breathlessly declared that it was jobs day in America, and America crushed expectations. USA Today ran an article on the jobs numbers with the following headline: First Take: As job gains grow, optimism rises. Posted below is a chart that shows the percentage of working age Americans with a job since the beginning of the year 2000. This chart does include the jobs numbers that were released on Friday Am I missing something? Let me look again. This time I will squint really hard. For three and a half years we have been stuck in a range between 58 percent and 59 percent. We are way, way below where we were before the recession. So can we please not even begin to use the word recovery until we at least get above the 59 percent level? And most of the jobs that are being created are of very poor quality. As I mentioned above, the figures show that the number of full-time jobs actually decreased last month. And asZero Hedge pointed out, manufacturing employment has actually declined for four months in a row Even as the manufacturing jobs continue to collapse, posting their fourth consecutive monthly drop in June to 11.964 million jobs, minimum wage waiters and bartenders have never been happier. In June Restaurant and Bar employees just hit a new all time high of 10,339,800 workers, increasing by a whopping 51,700 in one month. Things are pretty good in America right now if you want to flip burgers or wait tables. But if you want a good job that you can support a family with, things are getting even worse. Meanwhile, bond yields soaring into the stratosphere. The yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries absolutely exploded today. It opened at 2.50% and closed at 2.71%. When I saw what had happened I could hardly believe it. If bond yields continue to climb like this, it is going to cause some massive problems in the financial markets. The following is from an article by John Rubino A few things to look for: recalculations of the deficit in light of spiking interest costs, comparisons of US and Japanese yields and speculation about what this means for Japanese rates followed by dire analyses of Japans future borrowing costs and last but not least, a growing concern for the hundreds of trillions of dollars of interest rate derivatives that now have one counterparty deeply in the red. Most Americans dont think too much about bond yields, but if they keep spiking it is going to dramatically affect every man, woman and child in the entire country. Yesterday, I described some of the consequences that rapidly rising bond yields would have And if interest rates on U.S. Treasury bonds start to rise to rational levels, the U.S. government is going to have to pay more to borrow money, state and local governments are going to have to pay more to borrow money, junk bonds will crash, the market for home mortgages will shrivel up and economic activity in this country will slow down substantially. Plus, as I am fond of reminding everyone, there is a 441 trillion dollar interest rate derivatives time bomb sitting out there that rapidly rising interest rates could set off. Never before have we had anything like the gigantic derivatives bubble that is hanging over global financial markets like a sword of Damocles. As interest rates continue to go up, the derivatives bubble could burst at any time. When it does, we are going to see financial carnage unlike anything we have ever seen before. 2008 was just the warm-up act. What is coming next is going to be the main event. But in the economic bizarro world that we are living in, the mainstream media insists that skyrocketing interest rates are nothing to worry about. Today, USA Today ran a headline that declared the following: Investors: Dont panic over bond yield spike. And Yahoo actually ran a story entitled Why higher U.S. yields should cheer investors. Needless to say, the arguments in that story are not very convincing. And in that story they even admit that record amounts of money were being pulled out of bond funds in June Capital is already flowing out of low-yielding bonds. PIMCO Total Return fund, the worlds largest bond fund, suffered record outflows of $9.6 billion in June, in a second straight month of withdrawals. The rush for the exits in the bond market is threatening to become an avalanche. I hope that this is not the beginning of a financial panic. I hope that we have more time before the next major wave of the economic collapse strikes. But I certainly cannot guarantee that things will remain stable. Once fear starts to sweep through financial markets, things can change very, very quickly. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

3	Ron and Rand Paul Were Never Going to Save UsEditors Note: We love the message of peace and liberty, and respect Ron Paul for educating the masses, but wed be naive to think the Pauls are exempt from an utterly corrupt political system. Many people believe that Ron and Rand Paul are the only hope to save the United States from becoming a totalitarian fascist police state. After all, for decades only congressman Ron Paul exposed the crimes and consequences of the private Federal Reserve, fractional reserve banking, fraudulent war on drugs, wars and coups of aggression, the growth of government and dependency on it. Many Ron Paul supporters believed that Rons son, Rand Paul, would promote the same polices as his father after being elected to the U.S. Senate. Yes, Ron and Rand appeared to be the last Jedis of freedom, battling and exposing the empire of bankster monopoly occultists. Let us now examine whether Ron and Rand Paul can be trusted to save us and how effective their efforts have been. Ron Paul and his Campaign for Liberty PAC are great at fundraising. During the 2011-2012 election cycle, Ron Paul raised $40,909,878 and spent $38,934,716. Unfortunately; According to renowned researcher Webster Griffin Tarpley, Ron Paul is a master in nepotism and employs approximately 61 of his family members. Granted, Ron Paul could argue that it is necessary to employ family members to avoid COINTELPRO infiltration, but how can he justify paying his grandson-in-law nearly $600,000 in one year? Strangely, Ron Paul and Mitt Romey were very friendly during the Republican presidential primary campaign. Romney is the antithesis of Ron Paul and supports everything Paul claims to oppose, such as the National Defense Authorization Act of 2011, which authorizes the indefinite detention of American citizens without trial, socialized medicine (eugenics against the elderly with death panels that deny care), endless wars of aggression in foreign countries, unlimited financial aid to Israel, the fraudulent war on drugs, and Romey is a vulture bankster like those that run the private Federal Reserve. One would think that Ron Paul, The Champion of the Constitution, would find Romney and his CFR/Bilderberg/Trilateral/Neocon associates repugnant. Yet Ron Paul is considering voting for Mitt Romney. With his political career at its end, why wont Ron tell the people the truth about voting or at least clearly refuse to support vulture-bankster Romney? Webster Tarpley persuasively argues that Ron Paul served as Romneys wing-man to ensure Romney received the Republican presidential nomination (attending Bilderberg likely helped as well). It appears that Ron and Rand Paul, either knowingly or unknowingly, are being used to keep millions of Americans invested in corrupt political system that is beyond repair and the false left vs. right divide-and-conquer paradigm, dominated by eugenics loving Wall Street Banksters since at least 1913. According to one researcher, of the 620 measures that Paul has sponsored, just four have made it to a vote on the House floor. Only one has been signed into law. Because the Audit of the Fed occurred, it appears that only two of Ron Pauls many measures have been made into law. Ron Paul has given hundreds of great speeches and written hundreds of important articles; but was he able to stop any of the following: NDAA, Real ID Act, Military Commissions Act, Patriot Act, TSA groping and expansion, John Warner Defense Authorization Act, Bankster bailouts, clergy response teams, CIA drug-running, tyrannical executive orders, Council of State Governors, covert acts of war against Pakistan, Libya, Syria, Egypt and Iran, or Fast and Furious? No. Why not? Because even if Ron Paul is legitimate, Congress and the President dont work for you, dont represent you, and they never did. During his 2008 campaign, Ron Paul said that he wanted to end the Fed and the I.R.S. In 2012, for some reason, he softened his tone to we should audit the fed and rarely mentions the I.R.S. To Rons credit, the Fed was audited and we learned that the largest banks were bailed out with over 16 trillion dollars as they foreclosed on millions of homes and gave their executives bonuses. By now the criminal cartel of usury known as the Fed should have been abolished or nationalized but Ron Paul says only that we should audit it again? What happened to end the Fed? Rons son, Rand Paul, raised money from Ron Paul supporters and was elected to the U.S. Senate on his fathers platform. However, rather than endorsing his fathers policies, Rand shocked the world by endorsing Mitt Romney for president on national television, who is the antithesis of everything Ron and Rand claim stand for. Even a blind man can feel the sting from Rands slap in the face to his campaign donors and Ron Paul Revolutionaries. Do you think Rand Paul was allowed to use Rons political machine (Campaign for Liberty) to get elected to the senate and then endorse Romney without Daddy Rons approval? If so, you can get a great deal on some oceanfront property in Arizona. But one slap in the face wasnt enough as Rand appears to be a Neocon in Libertarian clothing. In 2010, Rand met with war lover William Kristol of the Project for a New American Century (PNAC), a so-called Neocon think-tank that published a paper one year prior to 9/11 stating that transforming the U.S. into a military-state would require a catastrophic and catalyzing eventlike a new Pearl Harbor. Dick Cheney, who gave the stand-down order on 9/11, was also associated with PNAC. Ron and Rand Paul often brag about their Christian Values, yet Rand is a member of the NoZe Brotherhood at Baylor University and claimed to worship the Aqua Buddha (idolatry). George W. Bush of Skull and Bones and Kenneth Star are honorary members on NoZe.. In conclusion, Ron Paul and Rand Paul may give good speeches, they have even educated millions of people about important issues. However, they cannot be trusted to save the United States from becoming a totalitarian fascist police state as they get practically no results yet provide patriots reason to believe in a system that is beyond repair in its current state. Representative government in the United States is a fast-fading illusion and it makes no difference which mass-murderer occupies next Whitehouse as he or she is merely a puppet. Ending the police state (its already here) and planned democide is the responsibility of every individual. We must not consent to the criminal bankster state. We must refuse to vote in rigged elections or for candidates associated with political parties. We must not take any actions contrary to our conscience. Rather than cheer for Ron and Rand Paul, we must do everything we peacefully can to stop the planned shooting war from occurring in the United States. Paul Adams is your humble servant.

Things didnt go so well after they decided to represent red, white, and blue. Within 24 hours, the KFC was shut down. The reason given was that the decorations were too American. Iranians dont want any American influence on their culture. Maybe its best for everyone that we dont have too much interaction.

1	After sitting through an outdoor ceremony officiated by the grooms best friend, local parents Scott and Linda McNeil were clinging to the lone religious element of their daughters wedding, sources confirmed Saturday. The vows they wrote for each other were nice, but the passage from Corinthians they used on the back of the wedding program was just beautiful, said Linda McNeil, adding that she and her husband were both deeply touched by the inclusion of the biblical quote Love still stands when all else has fallen, which appeared beneath a verse from a Sarah McLachlan song. Ive always loved that passage, and its a part of the Scripture that really captures who they are. McNeil then added that she knew the small image of a dove above the quote would have made her late mother very happy. 
1	In an encouraging sign for the nations most irresponsible parents, a report published Monday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has found the cost of raising neglected children remains at a historic low. While the overall cost of living has continued to rise, negligent child-rearing has shown no corresponding increase, with the price of leaving your kids home alone for a couple nights while you skip out of town to a Native American casino staying almost completely flat, read a section of the report, which also cited the continued affordability of failing to enroll your children in intramural sports leagues because youre too loaded to drive to practice. For those who would rather indulge themselves than invest in their kids education, hobbies, or doctors appointments, the cost of caring for a child is little more than the monthly price of a cable TV package, which they can tell their son or daughter to sit down in front of for hours on end while theyre out on the town. The report reminded negligent parents that the cost savings are even higher the sooner they are able to have their kids forcibly removed by Child Protective Services. 
2	School Slams Mother Who Complains About Bibles: Get Over It Jessica Greene was shocked when her fifth grade son came home from Cloverleaf Elementary school with a Bible. Leo came home from school, and he said, Today they handed out Bibles, Greene, the Cartersville, Georgia parent told WXIA. We were in class and our teacher said that these people have volunteered to hand out Bibles, Leo explained to the station. And she said, Theres going to be a line in the library. According to Leo, every student was offered the opportunity to take a Bible. Note, there was the option to turn down the offer. Bartow County Superintendent John Harper did not respond to phone calls, but the school did write the following post on their Facebook page: The Gideons are permitted to offer Bibles to students who wish to pick them up. It is strictly voluntary and the library was the location where students could pick one up; our librarian did not give them out. We appreciate your input. If you have further concerns, please contact administration during school hours. Thank you. Of course, Greene took the opportunity to voice her distaste for the schools actions. She was instantly slammed by other parents, and the conversation got so heated that the school was forced to delete the comments. What do you think? Do you support the school handing out optional Bibles? 
2	BOOM: Trump Demolishes Hillary After FBI Verdict With 4 Brutal Words... This week, FBI Director James Comey announced that he would not be recommending criminal charges against Hillary Clinton, despite what he referred to as extreme carelessness in handling this countrys classified information. It didnt take long for Trump to comment on the despicable ruling on social media. FBI director said Crooked Hillary compromised our national security. No charges. Wow! #RiggedSystem, Trump tweeted. The system is rigged, he later followed up. General Patraeus got in trouble for far less. Very very unfair! As usual, bad judgment. Now, some have started to question how extreme carelessness differs from gross negligence, which is outline in statue 18 U.S.C. Section 793(f): Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document. . .relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer, Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both. 
2	MSNBC Reporter Exposes The Truth About Obamas Birthplace... Hes Finished [VIDEO] Well, this is interesting. Recently, a clip from an on-air exchange between MSNBC correspondences is going viral, after giving the impression that even the news network has questions about Barack Obamas origin. Host Joy Reid began the debate, claiming that the White House is clearly, I would assume, hoping that this [the presidents recent trip to Africa] will be part of the presidents legacy, given his background. Chris Jansing then went on to discuss the fact that many Americans believe he was actually born there. The fact that hes from Kenya and the fact that when he was elected there were expectations on the African continent that he would do great things for them, Jansing claimed, concluding that it may be the purpose the event was so meaningful to the President. Later in the program, Jansing was told to correct herself. Obviously, to clarify, I misspoke at the top before, she said, when she returned to the screen. It is obviously the presidents father who is from Kenya and you clarified that. She then went on to state that Obama has a real connection there. What do you think? Are you ready for answers about Obamas true background?

2	Americans Stunned After Obama Comes Clean About His Real Birthplace... According to recent reports, some new evidence reveals that President Barack Obama actually admitted to being born in Kenya in 1961. The truth actually surfaced nearly a year ago, but action is yet to take place. In the past, those who have questioned Obamas heritage have been painted as conspiracy theorists, yet there are many important questions that to this day remain unanswered. From school documents, to forged birth certificates, Obama is yet to provide any documentation that he was born in the United States. Further, there appears to be times when he has claimed to be born elsewhere, likely to obtain benefits he would not receive as a citizen. In 2012, Breitbart News obtained a booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obamas literary agency at the time, Acton Dystel. The book claims that Obama was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii. The booklet was designed to be distributed to business colleagues in the publishing industry, and contained a brief biography of the now-president. That biography is written below: Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii. The son of an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, he attended Columbia University and worked as a financial journalist and editor for Business International Corporation. He served as project coordinator in Harlem for the New York Public Interest Research Group, and was Executive Director of the Developing Communities Project in Chicagos South Side. His commitment to social and racial issues will be evident in his first book, Journeys in Black and White. What do you think of this biography? Obama clearly signed off on it at the timewhy didnt he catch the errors then? 
3	OnStars Family Link enables spousal spying and parental monitoringMadison Ruppert, Contributor This love affair has shown up in a wholly novel fashion with OnStars Family Link, a $3.99 per month add-on to General Motors OnStar service. This will allow parents to spy on their children, and, even more importantly, allow suspicious spouses to keep tabs on those who they supposedly love and trust. OnStar Family Link provides a website where paranoid parents and snooping spouses can see the location of the enrolled OnStar vehicle in real time. Furthermore, it allows the account holder to receive location updates via text message or straight to their computer at specified intervals. Currently, the additional details provided to customers when hovering over the vehicles icon on a map are somewhat lackluster. As of now, it only includes a nearby street address and a time stamp. That being said, I do not think it is hard to imagine that they would allow additional details, which OnStar automatically records, to be available to Family Link subscribers, perhaps for a larger monthly fee. Thankfully, people are not blindly jumping on this technology as some kind of godsend. Extreme Tech makes a great point of pointing out that if teenagers really wanted to avoid being tracked by their parents, they could simply get out of their newer and safer OnStar equipped vehicle and into an older and less safe vehicle which does not have a built-in tracking system. They also point out, If both spouses have the password, two can play the game. Hello, big brother and maybe divorce court. I cannot see how any healthy relationship would thrive when one member of the relationship holds such a deep distrust of the other that they actually go out and purchase a way to keep tabs on them throughout the day. Maybe if your spouse was prone to dissociative fugues it might be warranted, but seeing as that is absurdly unlikely, I see no real reason why a truly loving couple would want to choose to spy on each other. The potential to monitor the whereabouts of teenagers makes much more sense, but as pointed out above, all it would take is a quick vehicle switch to make it completely pointless. Any rebellious teenager who really wanted to avoid the prying eyes of their parents would likely be able to find someone else with a car to use. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has also taken the new technology to task. Its troubling, the EFFs Parker Higgins said. Any time a new service like this is introduced you have to think beyond whats described in the press release. Indeed, Cheryl McCarron, a representative for OnStar said, We are depending on subscribers to tell other family members that theyve enabled the service on the vehicle. Clearly, this is a little bit too much to expect from an individual who would choose to pay to spy on their spouse. If such an individual was trustworthy enough to be expected to tell their family members about the fact that they are under constant surveillance, they would likely be upstanding enough to actually talk to and trust their family to begin with. Aside from the glaring concerns when it comes to tearing families apart and encouraging a culture of paranoia and suspicion, Higgins points out that this raises some serious privacy concerns as well. Its important to remember that you can provide a service that is valuable and useful and still be violating peoples privacy, Higgins pointed out to Wired. The first round of invitations to pay to spy on family members will go out in April, with additional invitations being dispatched around June. The service will be publicly available throughout the United States some time later this year. The Family Link service requires customers to already pay for their standard monthly subscription package, plus an additional $3.99 per month for Family Link. I expect to see additional features to be offered in the future like monitoring of driving speeds, time stopped at locations, and more, as paranoid family members look to keep their thumb on spouses and children as much as possible. It will be interesting to see if this technology draws any negative publicity, or if it will be willingly accepted and lauded like so much of the technology that invades our privacy like Silicon Valleys data mining industry, the rise of high-speed facial recognition technology, and even behavioral recognition technology for surveillance.

1	After more than nine months of enumerating for visitors the various member-only benefits and explaining how dues help support the museums mission to educate and inspire, disillusioned Milwaukee Art Museum employee Ashley Mizote told reporters Friday she no longer believes her own annual membership pitch. I used to think that membership was an unbeatable value, but now I can barely get through my opening line about how an annual pass will connect visitors to the vibrant arts community without questioning the truth of it all, said Mizote, who admitted that her voice often trails off during the part of her pitch about how members automatically receive important updates and offers via the museums e-newsletter. I know the words, but I dont feel them. Sure, for less than the cost of four regular day passes you can get free entry for the year, previews of select exhibitions, fast-track check-in, and 10 percent off at Caf Calatrava, but will each visit truly be a stimulating and enriching cultural experience that you cant put a price on? Who can honestly say? At press time, a glassy-eyed Mizote responded to a patrons question about the relative value of an individual versus a dual membership package by silently standing up from her desk and walking out of the museum. 
3	Hemp Can Make America Great Again!By Neenah Payne Donald Trump has promised to Make America Great Again. President-Elect Trump issued his plan for the first 100 days of his administration which includes repeal of Obamacare and the restoration of our economy. However, his plan is missing the most important step that Trump as a businessman can take to jumpstart our economy and provide the best healthcare quickly and easily. Many Libertarians see Trump as Ron Paul lite. When Dr. Paul ran for the presidency in 2012, he issued his Plan to Restore America which included repeal of the War on Drugs. In 2011, Congressman Paul had introduced bills to legalize industrial and medical hemp. Unfortunately Obama failed to follow suit. Jack Herer, co-author of the ground-breaking bookThe Emperor Wears No Clothes: The Authoritative Historical Record of Cannabis and the Conspiracy Against Marijuana said, I dont know if hemps gonna save the world, but Ill tell you this its the only thing that can. Our Founding Fathers required farmers to grow hemp because it is so beneficial. Henry Ford created hemp cars powered by hemp ethanol. Hemp is still used in American cars, but now America has to buy hemp from China, England, Canada, and France because American farmers have not been allowed to grow hemp since misguided policies banned it in 1937. That increases costs 10-15% or more. The US is the largest importer of industrial hemp and China is the largest exporter! Ralph Nader pleaded in 2011 Let Our Farmers Grow Hemp and said in 2013 Legalize Hemp Its Long Overdue. Its time for America to re-affirm hemp as a national treasure, key to our future. In the 2016 Legatum Prosperity Index, America is in 17th place, down from 12th in 2012 and 6th in 2008. The US is the only industrialized country with no hemp industry. In his opposition to the legalization of industrial and medical hemp, Obama has been out of line with our best interests, American history, and the will of the American people. We can literally no longer afford to ignore hemp, a trillion-dollar crop! Trump should quickly rescue this vital crop in the first 100 days of his administration. Legalization of industrial and medical hemp could be the Tipping Point that allows us to avoid the escalating financial, environmental, healthcare, and food crises. Hemp can catapult America into an upward spiral! The benefits of industrial hemp include: In 1942, the US government distributed 400,000 pounds of hemp seeds to American farmers to aid the war effort! The Bible and the US Constitution were printed on hemp paper because it does not yellow. Hemp seeds provide the right balance of Omega 3-Omega 6 Essential Fatty Acids to help correct the American diet which has an excess of Omega 6. Hemp is used in over 30 countries and has numerous environmental benefits, including: less reliance on oil, more efficient use of energy, forest conservation, soil redemption and landfill use reduction. Over 25,000 products can be made from industrial hemp. Hemp Cars Could Be Wave of the Future ABC News Most bankruptcies are due to medical costs even for insured Americans. Medical hemp can help keep Americans healthy while quickly and inexpensively reversing a wide variety of degenerative diseases crippling and killing millions of Americans each year. Legalization of medical hemp is now supported by the majority of Americans as a growing number of states make it available. The medical community is also quickly coming onboard. Medical hemp treats over 100 diseases and ailments. In 2014, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNNs chief medical officer, did a public reversal of his opposition to medical hemp after investigating its curative powers as shown in the video: Dr. Sanjay Gupta: Why I Changed My Mind On Weed YouTube. The article Dr. Sanjay Gupta: Why I Changed My Mind on Weed CNN.comreports: I apologize because I didnt look hard enough, until now. I didnt look far enough. I didnt review papers from smaller labs in other countries doing some remarkable research, and I was too dismissive of the loud chorus of legitimate patients whose symptoms improved on cannabis. A Once-Skeptical Doctor Makes the Case for Medical Marijuanasays: Before he quite literally wrote the book on it, Dr. David Casarett mostly thought of medical marijuana as a joke, the author of Stoned: A Doctors Case for Medical Marijuana told Terry Gross in an interview on Fresh Air. But after about 18 months of extensive research, which involved both a bit of self-experimentation and reporting excursions that took him as far as Tel Aviv, hes changed his opinion. Medical marijuana, he now argues, is something his peers in the medical community should be takingseriously. The book The Cannabis Manifesto: A New Paradigm for Wellness has a 5-star rating onAmazon. Charlottles Web Hemp Oil is named for Charlotte Figi, a little girl whom the medical profession sent home to die because of her uncontrollable seizures. However, with ONE DOSE of the hemp oil which The Stanley Brothers created and named for her, Charlottes seizures stopped. She now has a normal life thanks to CWHO. See the article Charlotte Figis Ongoing Story With Medical Marijuana. Until 2015, CWHO was reserved for kids suffering from seizures. Charlottes Web Hemp Oil can now be shipped to all 50 states. People who register with The Realm of Caring can buy the hemp oil at a discount. Canadian Rick Simpson has shown that the oil from the buds of the hemp plant is a cure all! He used the oil to treat 5,000 people of a wide variety of illnesses (including terminal cancer) for free with no negative side effects. His story is documented in the video RUN FROM THE CURE The Rick Simpson Story which covers the phenomenal rise of one of the most important movements in human history. When Canada threatened Rick for curing people, he fled to Croatia where he has been in exile since 2013. Ricks dream is to find a country where he can grow medical hemp and standardize the strains which are best for each illness. In the video interview The Funniest Rick Simpson Interview Ever Hemp Oil Cures Anything!, Rick says his oil is now used at the Nimea Kaya Healing Center in Peru. The video interview Rick Simpson / Cannabis Hemp Solutions to Human Problems is very informative. The article 89 Percent of U.S. Voters Say Medical Marijuana Should Be Legal shows strong support for medical hemp as calls to end the War on Drugs escalate. Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP), an international organization of criminal justice professionals, calls for an end to the War on Drugs. The Executive VP of LEAP describes the War on Drugs as Public Enemy #1. These articles and video show that a growing majority of Americans support legalization of hemp: Marijuana Legalized Across America The article And the Winner of the 2016 Election Is CANNABIS! says: As scientific evidence shows marijuana has beneficial medical effects, the country is becoming warmer to the idea of effectively nullifying the federal rules on the plant. And if 2016 is, indeed, a tipping point for marijuana reform, as a spokesperson for the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) said in an interview, 2017 could see residents in at least three more states passing similar rules. Trump has the opportunity to begin his administration with a dramatic policy that will unite the sharply divided country. Many Black Americans (and other non-Whites) see Trumps promise to Make America Great Again as a coded message to Make America White Again. The presidential campaign was so contentious that the threat of violence still looms over the nation. So, Trump needs to quickly signal that he plans to serve as president for all Americans. The War on Drugs has imprisoned more Blacks than were enslaved during the 19th century. The law has been harshly imposed in Black communities while White students on college campuses are unaffected. Ending the War on Drugs will benefit everyone so that Trump will quickly earn the support of the whole nation and encourage all Americans to work together to make America great again. My video Hemp Revolution 2015 explains more about the wonders of industrial and medical hemp. It was first posted in 2011, updated each year until last year, and has been seen by about 5,000 people. Call on President Trump to support legalization of industrial and medical hemp! Lets make America really great again starting in early 2017! Neenah Payne you are a soul after my own heart.

1	Smiling softly as he closed the picture book he had been reading and looked down at his young grandson sound asleep, Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush reportedly whispered into the toddlers ear while tucking him into bed Wednesday night that no one would ever push him into running for president. My sweet boy, I swear that nobody will ever pressure you to commission polls to test your national electability or keep trying to put you in touch with family members old campaign staffersnot ever, said Bush in a hushed murmur, his eyes reportedly welling with tears as he pulled the covers up to the boys chin and vowed to protect him from those who would repeatedly tell him that a path to the presidency would be easy for an establishment candidate with considerable name recognition. You can grow up to be anything you want to bea doctor, a firefighter, you name itand youll never, ever have to set foot in New Hampshire. Or you can just stay in state-level politics, if thats what you know you want. I promise. At press time, sources confirmed Bush could be seen looking back at his grandson from the bedroom doorway, a single tear visibly streaking down his cheek before he stepped into the hallway to take a call from a high-level donor. 
1	Thirty-year-old Daryl Wohlert, that guy who always had all the knives in high school, was arrested Monday for allegedly threatening a local storekeeper with a switchblade, Riley police reported. 'Daryl always used to have a knife on him, and a couple lying on the top shelf of his locker, too,' said Riley Police Department desk clerk Jeremy Dunbar, who graduated with Wohlert from Riley High School in 1991. 'He used to flip that thing around and roll it around in his hands until [shop teacher] Mr. Adams told him to put it away. Even after he put it back in the sheath, he'd still hold it out to threaten us with the case.' Wohlert's alleged victim, 58-year-old Clarence Sewell, declined comment. 
3	As Israel-Gaza Charade Concludes, West Pivots Back to SyriaAs predicted, Israel accepts humiliating ceasefire to bolster partners in Syrian subversion Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar. Reuters reported in their article, Jubilant Palestinians mob Gaza streets, regarding the ceasefire agreement brokered by Egypt that, the agreement calls on Hamas and Israel to cease all forms of military activity, including Israels targeted killings of militants, and for an easing of the Israeli-Egyptian blockade of Gaza. The article featured a photograph of cheering Palestinians in Gaza waving the Egyptian flag, reflecting both the true purpose and success of the Israeli-Gaza charade. Qatar Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thanis conveniently-timed visit to Gaza just days before hostilities erupted was designed to give the despotic Persian Gulf monarchy a boost in both legitimacy and credibility after the conclusion of this staged spectacle as was highly publicized rhetoric made by Turkeys Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan against Israel. Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, all in fact partners with Israel and its Western sponsors in the subversion and overthrow of Syria, now have a renewed popular mandate across the Arab World, as a direct result of Israels premeditated, predictable failure in Gaza. Already, Western pundits and policy makers are gloating over one additional result of the ceasefire, one already being spun into a narrative regarding the new Middle East. IF truce holds and Gaza is opened up, Hamas would have ended Israels 5-year effort to isolate it in Gaza. Result of Egypt,Qatar,Turkey efforts. Regional spoilers will strike soon or they will be on the defensive. It should be noted that Shaikh, of the Brookings Institutions Doha Center, has been heavily involved in the enumerating and documentation of Western designs against Syria and is in fact based in the allegedly anti-Israeli nation of Qatar. He was the co-author of the Brookings Saban Center, Middle East Memo #21 Assessing Options for Regime Change (.pdf), which articulated plans involving the carving out of safe havens within Syrian territory along the Turkish border and a coordinated campaign by both Turkey and Israel to pressure Syrias borders to exact defections within Syrias military ranks. The report was written in March 2012, and since then, both Turkey and Israel have demonstrably coordinated efforts to apply pressure on Syrias borders. With a strategic defeat of Israel by what the Washington Post calls a changed Middle East, the Saudi-Qatari-Egyptian-Turkey axis, a united front of sectarian-hardliners long-sought by Wall Street and London to fight its regional enemies, will be better prepared to confront Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah in Lebanon to accomplish what the US and Israel have themselves already tried but failed to achieve. The Washington Post, easily recognized as a right-wing Neo-Conservative clearinghouse, and proponent of Israel, almost seemed to celebrate the united front that lined up behind Hamas in Gaza, against Israel. In their article, Hamas finds greater support in a changed Middle East, they state: Fenced in by an Israeli blockade and by the tacit consent of authoritarian Arab regimes that disdained Hamass Islamist politics, the group long relied on two international pariahs Iran and Syria for support. But the outbreak of a revolt in Syria shattered ties between Hamas and the government of President Bashar al-Assad and forced a rift between Hamas and Shiite Iran. Hamas has since repositioned itself, gaining a new set of regional partners at a critical time. Newly democratic Egypt and Tunisia, along with regionally influential Qatar and Turkey, have increasingly assumed the roles of Hamass new allies. Canadas Globe and Mail also featured an editorial citing the Israeli-Gaza conflict as a sign of waning Iranian-Syrian influence over Palestine, and the emergence of a new Middle East. Titled, Gaza is testing the limits of Irans Mideast ambitions, Now, the focus is shifting away from Iran and to the winners of the Arab spring. Now, their commitment to a new foreign policy for a New Middle East will be tested. Will Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood pursue a more assertive policy vis-a-vis Israel compared to that of former president Hosni Mubarak? If there is more continuity than change in Egypts Israel policy, how will that affect Mr. Morsis apparent bid for regional leadership or his hold on power at home? Will Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogans new role as the champion of the Sunni Arabs following his aggressive opposition to Mr. Assad survive if he fails to re-adopt his pre-Syria assertiveness against Israels Gaza policy? If he fails, will it prove that Mr. Erdogans Syria policy has weakened the arc of resistance and strengthened Israel regionally? Tehran certainly seems to hope that this will be the conclusion many in the region will reach. Additional op-eds across the Western press are sure to be rolled out over the next week, hailing the new Middle Easts triumph during the Israeli-Gaza conflict. US President Barack Obama has already praised the Western-installed and backed regime in Cairo, Egypt, for its role in mediating the cease fire. Following the afterglow of this manufactured US-Israeli PR coup for its regional Arab and Turkish partners, a renewed push against Syria will ensue. Israeli-Gaza Conflict A Propagandist 2 for 1 Special. While this new Middle East victory narrative is geared toward the Muslim World, and more specifically the Arab World in order to bolster support for a final push on Syria, another narrative is making its way through Neo-Conservative propaganda channels, including WorldNetDaily, Brietbart, and Fox News. Even as the Wests regional allies take full responsibility for bolstering Gaza during the recent conflict, it is being reported by Neo-Con fronts that not only did Gaza start the conflict, but that it was Iranian and Syrian weapons that enabled it. Despite Hamas turning its back on both Iran and Syria, going as far as closing their offices in Damascus and rhetorically supporting the US-Israeli-Saudi backed terrorists now ravaging the country, the Western media has found a way to both diminish the role of Iran and Syria in the eyes of the Arab World, while continuing to demonize them as key aggressors against Israel in front of Western audiences. On the Eve of Another Psy-Op Versus Syria. Corporate-funded think-tank and purveyor of US foreign policy, the Brookings Institution, had in 2009 blueprinted the strategy with which the West would slowly strangle and topple the government of Iran. Throughout the pages of their report, Which Path to Persia? everything from sanctions, to purposefully provoking war with Iran, to stoking US-backed uprisings, to funding, training, and arming US State Department-listed terror organizations was plotted before being promptly executed. Amongst those signing their names to this conspiracy to commit mass-murder against a sovereign nation was Michael OHanlon. One of OHanlons more recent works involves spelling out the military options the US has in regards to Syria in an op-ed aptly titled, What Are Our Military Options in Syria? The West purposefully destabilized Syria, and is currently perpetuating extensive bloodshed through militant proxies funded, trained, and armed by the West and operating on Syrias borders as well as within Syria itself. As the bloodshed mounts, the West is now insidiously using the carnage to justify more overt intervention to execute long planned regime change. Just as it was spelled out and promptly executed in OHanlons Which Path to Persia?, the operation in Syria involves almost identical elements altered only slightly to suit Syrias geopolitical predisposition. US-backed uprisings, armed militants, and sanctions have all already been set in motion with overt military options being all that is left on the table. The military options OHanlon envisions to achieve the overthrow of Syrias government include: 1. A punitive naval or air operation to encourage a coup against Assad What Brookings is really saying What must be remembered is that OHanlon is not writing this for the consideration of the Pentagon. Instead, he is specifically writing this so that pundits and media outlets can repeat what is essentially extortion directed at Syrias establishment. The purpose of this exercise is to prey on the fear of President Assads political allies and those across Syrias business community who have so far stood behind their nations government. It is hoped that the West can bluff their way into folding opposition by presenting them with a difficult and costly military campaign versus the alternative of power sharing. Unfortunately for US policy makers, Syria has already seen the dead end power sharing led to in Libya, a dead end Libya will remain in well into the foreseeable future. The rationale of businessmen capitulating to see UN sanctions relieved is also absurd considering the inevitable fracturing and perpetual destabilization that will wreck both the country and its economy should the current government fall. Image: General Abdul Fattah Younis reward for accepting offers to power share with the Libyan rebels was his assassination. Syrias opposition is entirely dependent on foreign fighters, foreign arms, foreign funds, and an international consensus that allows such foreign resources to continue flowing to them unabated. Already severe cracks have begun to show and now the Wests only chance is to psychologically break Syrian President Bashar al-Assads power base through threats and perhaps even a limited military incursion. The catch is, should Syria remain united, order can be restored and nothing short of total war waged by the West could prevent it. Syria Still has Only One Option. Imperialisms favorite trick throughout time has been to purposefully mire a targeted nation in internal strife to weaken it before preying on, and ruling over, both sides. This can be seen encapsulated in the following ancient Chinese stratagem: When a country is beset by internal conflicts, when disease and famine ravage the population, when corruption and crime are rampant, then it will be unable to deal with an outside threat. This is the time to attack. The 36 Strategies, #5 Loot a Burning House The West has gone too far, its credibility and operational capacity waning by the day, it has no choice but to continue pushing forward in hopes that all before it lack the fortitude to stand up and fight. The West will not stop until either Syria is divided and destroyed or the West itself crumbles in the midst of its untenable imperial conquest. Defection, capitulation, and failure are not options. Syrias fate will be that of Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, or worse if it falls. Unity has been and still is Syrias only option.

2	ISIS Decided To Shoot Down Russian Jet, So Putin Responds With THIS According to recent reports, Russia is striking back on ISIS after they decided to shoot down Russian warplanes. Now, the violent extremists are reportedly hiding in Mosques, in an attempt to use innocent worshippers as shields against Vladimir Putin and his army. Now, Drone footage is surfacing showing ISIS fighters parking military vehicles outside of a mosque in Syria. If Russia moves forward with an attack, they cannot be attacked without huge civilian casualties. Moderate revels would not hide behind civilians as human shield or, moreover, concentrate armored vehicles under the arches of religious institutions, Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov told reporters. All of these actions can only be the calling card of terrorists. What do you think? Does ISIS need to be taken down immediately?

1	Having difficulty looking gathered members of the press in the eye, researchers from the University of Virginia announced at a news conference Wednesday that they didnt have the heart to reveal what a recent study determined will happen to one in five women in the U.S. You really dont want to know what our findings say 20 percent of all women are likely to experience in their lifetimeyouve just got to trust us on this, said lead researcher Simon Hart, taking a deep breath and struggling to keep himself composed, before adding that compiling and analyzing data from a survey of over 1,000 women across the country had left him and his colleagues a little messed up. If I could, I would erase from my mind every one of the results that our research team uncovered. Its justII just dont have it in me to say what we concluded. For your sake, I think well keep that to ourselves. Excuse me. A teary-eyed Hart then reportedly walked off stage, called his wife and daughter, and told them he loved them very, very much. 
3	Pesticide Exposure Found to Lower IntelligenceAnthony Gucciardi Previously linked in scientific research to the massive obesity crisis, pesticides are now known to impact the mind in ways that are still not entirely understood. Despite these findings, they are continually touted as safe by the profit-hungry chemical industry. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, observed pregnant mothers in New York who were exposed to a pesticide known as chlorpyrifos (CPF). Banned in 2001 from household use, the chemical is still used worldwide in agriculture. Thats right, this is a chemical that is not permitted to be used in your home, though it is perfectly fine to spray on your food. What the researchers found was that women who had higher levels of CPF had children with significant abnormalities in brain structure compared to mothers with lower exposure levels. Lead researcher, Virginia Rauh, a professor at the Mailman School of Public Health, summarized the findings: Toxic exposure during this critical period can have far-reaching effects on brain development and behavioral functioning. The findings will certainly cause a ripple in the pesticide industry, though the larger issue is why this pesticide is being used in your food after it was banned from being used indoors. If the pesticide is damaging by simply being used in the same living space as human, how could it be considered safe to put into your body?

2	Veteran Saw A Mexican Flag Flying Over The American Flag And Then All Hell Broke Loose [VIDEO] In the last few years, weve seen what appears to be a growing disdain for patriots and the American flag. Weve heard story after story of citizens being told they cant fly the flag proudly in front of their homes, or wear t-shirts with an image of the flag to class. So when US Veteran Jim Brossard saw one business breaking code by flying the Mexican flag above the American flag, he decided to take action. Watch the video below and tell us what you think of Brossards actions. Do you support him? 
2	Black Teens Brutally Beat White Teen With Brick... Al Sharpton Ignores Lately, we have seen a trend of the media where any stories that are unfavorable to the larger story of racism suddenly becomes a race free report. Now, according to reports, a seven-year-old Hispanic boy had a cement block thrown through the window of a car he was sitting in. The boy suffered severe injuries after being in hit in the face, and has even had to undergo several surgeries. Now, it looks like he will actually have to endure reconstructive surgery on his left eye. If you listen to the media reports on the incident, you probably heard that 3 masked youths committed the crime. Why is that the case when it is know that all three men were black? What do you think of the lack of detail in the report? Is it intentional or a subconscious fear of being politically incorrect? 
2	CNN Jim Acosta Faces The Music After Running His Mouth At Trump Millions of Americans applauded President-elect Donald Trump last week after he went head-to-head with a CNN reporter who was harassing him during a press conference. During the controversial altercation, Trump told Jim Acosta his organization is fake news. CNN had spent the previous 24 hours reporting on a fake news story claiming the President-elect had made secret financial deals with Russia. The reports also included salacious stories about twisted encounters with prostitutes. Trump had clearly had enough of their corruption. Now, incoming White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer is demanding that Acosta should apologize for his disrespectful behavior. He later added that he gave Acosta a warning in person at the press conference. A CNN spokesman responded to these allegations from Spicer with the following statement: As we have learned many times, just because Sean Spicer says something doesnt make it true. Jim Acosta is a veteran reporter with the utmost integrity and extensive experience in covering both the White House and the President-elect. Being persistent and asking tough questions is his job, and he has our complete support. What do you think? Does CNN need to be held accountable for their bias? 
3	Microsoft Windows Enters The Internet of Things Surveillance MatrixKevin Samson Where Google sees adding robotic intelligence to every home, and the IBM/ATT global partnership is to ensure that no home, appliance, or gadget is left behind, Microsofts Windows on Devices aims to offer its proprietary operating system to engage users on an already familiar platform. Specific details remain sparse, but the video below speculates on a few areas that have come to light. The possible uses that have been offered are tame compared to what we already know are the intentions behind the move toward a Smart World. In what researcher Julie Beal has dubbed Uberveillance she outlines the greater picture in her article from 2012: As the world moves toward connecting real devices to the virtual world of the Internet, the recent U.S. move to relinquish Internet control to a structure of global governance will have even vaster implications. Also consider the fact that major tech companies are working together rather than competing in the Internet of Things space by forming an Industrial Internet Consortium.Lastly, we have Facebook pursuing the purchase of a solar drone company to potentially offer planet-wide connectivity. As if all of that should not be troubling enough, the Windows on Devices website states the following: So beyond the normal government backdoors into your devices, Cloud interaction will be built in as well. In her article Prepping the cloud for the internet of things tech writer Barb Darrow leaves no doubt: This push continues despite the fact that Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak went on record to caution that Cloud Computing is absolutely not secure and is in fact fully compromised. When the above developments are combined with the stated goals of UN Agenda 21, we are seeing a convergence of disparate areas under a simple single banner of connectivity. To be sure, having you stay permanently connected in the real and virtual world has very little to do with your coffee mug or pet robot bear. Video transcript with additional research links posted below: Microsoft Could Bring Windows to Coffee Mugs, Robots Engadget reports the site, called Windows on Devices, showed up briefly Tuesday just ahead of Microsofts Build 2014 conference. But its since been taken down and now looks like this, which tells us, well, nothing. Before leaving the web, the site reportedly said Microsoft is bringing Windows to a whole new class of small devices. It even used a smart coffee mug as an example. This suggests Microsoft might embrace the so-called Internet of Things. Meaning, its going to make our everyday, dumb devices like kitchen appliances or coffee mugs smarter by connecting them to the internet. Reports indicate Microsoft is aiming Windows on Devices at makers. That is, if its even happening. Reports are speculation at this point, and as CNET notes, The Internet of Things is certainly designed to extend smart technology to dumb devices, but a coffee mug or bear? That might be a stretch. How about a watch? The Verge says the question is whether Windows on Devices could power things like watches or eyewear, both of which Microsoft is rumored to be working on. We should likely know more about this mysterious site and more as Microsoft Build kicks off Wednesday. Additional source: Recently by Kevin Samson: 
3	China Finally Reveals How Much Gold It HasBy Joshua Krause Officially, they now have 1,658 tons of gold. The last time that number was updated in April of 2009, it stood at 1,054 tons, which is roughly a 60% increase, and places their gold haul above Russias. Thats pretty impressive, but it falls far short of what investors had expected. When they first announced that they were going to reveal their stockpile two months ago, the most conservative estimates placed their gold holdings at 3000 tons, or double what they recently reported. Due to the fact that China is the largest gold producer, and nearly the largest gold importer, their current numbers are dubious at best. As for why they may still be under reporting their gold reserves, they probably dont want to alarm the markets. They want to keep prices low so they can keep accumulating more, which given the amount of gold theyve officially bought, theyre obviously determined to keep buying. And since the price of gold and the value of the dollar have an inverse relationship, they want to keep gold low so that their massive dollar reserves stay valuable (which theyre still in the process of selling). At some point theyre going to use their gold reserves to challenge the supremacy of the dollar, but for now, theyre going to keep prices low while they hoard as much as they can. See how the Chinese are faking their economic data. Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple.

China has a lot more than they are letting on. Fort Knox is empty. Thank you John. That is 1000% correct. Theyre lying. Honestly it is the metal of the sun but I dont know what aliens want with it. Humans dont need it. Its just jewelry like diamonds the stone of the sun. Get my drift. Somethings going on here. This metal and stone are plentiful on this planet. Manufactured scarcity to make more bucks..especially on Valentines Day for guys dumb enough for fall for that. electronics..pop open your phone look at the battery terminals in the phone they are gold..thats just an example 
3	Telegraph Parades UK-Coddled Syrian Defector in PR PushTony Cartalucci Before parroting predictable Western talking points, the Telegraph attempts to flesh out their new character, describing him in their article, Syria: Assad cannot be trusted on any chemical weapons promises, says his former diplomat, as: Mr al-Ayoubi is an ethnic Kurd who joined the Syrian diplomatic service in 2001. He came to London as second secretary at the Syrian embassy in February 2011 but was made charge daffaires in May last year after his predecessor was booted out of the country in response to the massacre committed by Syrian forces in Houla. The Syrian ambassador, Sami al-Khiyami, had been withdrawn in the March that year. It left Mr al-Ayoubi as the most senior Syrian diplomat in the UK. But he defected in July last year, saying he could no longer defend the regime, and went in to hiding. He has only gone public now because of the horrors he witnessed in last months chemical attack on a suburb of Damascus which is believed to have killed more than 1,400 people, including 400 children. What raises suspicions further regarding yet another tenuous Telegraph narrative is that al-Ayoubi is described as unemployed, yet lodging in a UK hotel, presumably for the past year since his defection. It is also claimed thatthe Syrian intelligence service made death threats against al-Ayoubi after his defection, but this is never verified, and it is just as likely these Syrians were MI6 agents coaxing al-Ayoubi into his current role as compromised fodder for British propaganda. The Telegraph finally admits that after his defection and amidst these alleged death threats: He and his family were put under the protection of the Foreign Office and now live in a secret location outside London. Meeting him in a hotel room, he said he now suffers from depression because no one is willing to employ him. I have applied for many, many jobs but as soon as they see I was a Syrian diplomat they do not want to know, he said. In other words, we are expected to perceive as credible the parroting of Western talking points regarding Syria by a defector admittedly being housed, clothed, and fed by the British government a man who believes his very life depends on the protection currently being provided by the British government. The Telegraph piece is yet another incredible piece of propaganda aimed at the lowest intellectual common denominator, hinging on expectations that the general public is incapable of identifying obvious, elementary conflicts of interest as if al-Ayoubi, whatever his real story may be, is going to refute anything the British government who is housing and protecting him says. Additionally, al-Ayoubi has been in the UK for the past year, and is no more qualified than anyone else to speak on the alleged chemical weapon attacks in Damascus, Syria. The Telegraph even admits that al-Ayoubi only met Syrian President Bashar al-Assad one time: He once met Assad when he was a diplomat in Greece in 2003 and described him as a Jekyll and Hyde character. He was nice and polite. Very humble but the world now knows what a horrible man he is. Despite the Telegraphs attempt to portray al-Ayoubi as being part of the upper echelons of the diplomatic circles, representatives of Syrias enemies, including current US Secretary of State John Kerry, have had more face time with the Syrian president than al-Ayoubi. Failing to provide even a single shred of actual evidence to back up any of his claims or unqualified opinions, al-Ayoubis interview with the Telegraph is throw-away propaganda that at best simply gives us another troubling look at the inner workings of Western deception.

2	Obamas Discuss Experiences Facing Racism In New Interview...This Will Make You Mad [VIDEO] Recently, Barack and Michelle Obama sat down with People Magazine to discuss the racism that theyve both faced in the past. Michelle revealed that she and the president both were victims of racism before moving into the White House. I think people forget that weve lived in the White House for six years, Michelle told the magazine. Before that, Barack Obama was a black man that lived on the South Side of Chicago, who had his share of troubles catching cabs. She went on to describe an experience in which she was shopping at Target and someone asked her for help, assuming she worked there. During that wonderfully publicized trip I took to Target, not highly disguised, the only person who came up to me in the store was a woman who asked me to help her take something off a shelf, Michelle said. Those kinds of things happen in life. Theres no black male my age, whos a professional, who hasnt come out of a restaurant and is waiting for their car and somebody didnt hand them their car keys, President Obama claimed. The small irritations or indignities that we experience are nothing compared to what a previous generation experienced. Its one thing for me to be mistaken for a waiter at a gala. Its another thing for my son to be mistaken for a robber and to be handcuffed, or worse, if he happens to be walking down the street. What do you think of the Obamas comments? Do the incidents they describe have anything to do with race, or do they happen to all of us? 
2	Illegal Immigrant, Mother Of Seven, Has Been Collecting Welfare For 20 Years Recently, Fox News Steve Harrigan reported on the food stamp program in Florida, which appears to have gotten completely out of hand. Harrigan revealed the shocking story of Marla Nelson, an illegal immigrant and mother of seven. Marla is a single mother, and collects $240 in food stamps a month. She also received child support, and government funded housing, medication, and $700 a month in social security. Marla has received these benefits for nearly 20 years, without even being a citizen. She is now in the process of teaching others how they can benefit from public assistance the way that she did. Harrington also reported that Floridas federal assistance recruiters often sign up for multiple federal aid programs at the same time. That probably has something to do with the fact that the goal of the recruiters is to increase federal aid to Florida by one billion dollars a year. And with that big of a bill to justify, its no wonder that recruiters would dig up anyone they could. With people like Marla, the state might even be exceeding their goals.

1	With a principle agreement in their grasp and only rookie minimums remaining as a substantial stumbling block, representatives for both NFL owners and players cautioned Thursday that 2011's unpopular and most likely boring exhibition season may in fact go forward as scheduled. 'We are working hard with both the owners and the player's association to resolve this issue as soon as possible, unfortunately,' a press release from the league office read in part. 'That could mean football as soon as August 7, when a bunch of guys who have no hope to make the Rams are scheduled to play a sad bunch of dopes who are trying to make the, uh, we think it's Bears. Whatever, we're not watching that crap.' At press time attorneys for both sides were working around the clock to find 'something, anything, no matter how penny-ante' that would keep talks going until September 8 and the opening of the regular season. 
3	Israelis, Saudis Considering Attack on Iran in Wake of Nuke DealBy Brandon Turbeville Considering the years of propaganda surrounding Iran and its nuclear program, it should be clear that the recent US-Iran nuclear deal was nothing more than a show. After all, the US/NATO imperialist machine has made its desire to wage war on the Persian nation explicit for some time. The only question is just how long this theatre will last before that goal is finally realized. Considering the sizable reaction of warmongering and hysteria seeping from the mainstream Western press, the US Congress, Republicans, Conservatives, Israel, and Zionist supporters, the predictions that any deal with Iran will eventually be sabotaged, repealed, or violated, blamed on Iran, and ultimately used to initiate a military confrontation are clearly capable of coming true in the near future. Granted, Obama supporters and Leftists across the country are hailing the deal as a wonderful display of the desire for world peace. But, for Obama supporters and Leftists, any act by Obama, even war, is considered a wonderful display of the desire for world peace. However, the Western and Western-allied press has erupted in panic and horror that the solution to the phantom Iranian nuclear problem was anything short of total war. Those outlets may not have long to wait, however, if the pulse of the media in Saudi Arabia and Israel can be taken as an accurate measure of the pulse of the governments there. The Israeli media, for instance always in front of the line to promote war against any country (since Israel will be able to fight to the last American if there is a response from the victim) is already floating the idea that Israel might launch a military strike against Iran in the very near future. These outlets are even going so far as to dissect what such an attack would entail and how it would play out. Consider the type of discussion taking place regarding the Israeli reaction the Iran deal expressed in the article by Yonah Jeremy Bob of the Jerusalem Post. Bob writes that, Israel has until around mid-December to preemptively strike Irans nuclear program before it gets even harder to justify legally than Tuesdays deal has already made it. Of course, right now diplomatically, a strike seems unthinkable. But until mid-December, when the IAEA renders its final assessment of all past and present outstanding issues, as referred to in the around 150-page agreement, the UN will likely not have actually removed most sanctions. As long as UN sanctions are in place, Irans history of violating the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, of UN resolutions and actions framing it as a violator, and of the failure of those actions to stop Irans push for the bomb is still the narrative. Why does this matter? Some say that preemptive strikes are barred by international law from the outset, as only an armed attack activates the right of self-defense against an aggressor. Countries that have carried out preemptive strikes in the past like the US and Israel largely base their actions on the concept that international law permits a preemptive strike to prevent an imminent attack, even if that attack is not yet in progress. Once preemptive strikes can be undertaken to block an imminent attack, broadening the definition of what is imminent to permit a strike even more in advance of a potential threat is less of a jump. This is especially true concerning nuclear weapons, which can essentially end the game if they are launched. Bob then goes on to discuss how Israel might interpret or argue its case to the UN or against its condemnation of a pre-emptive (read aggressive) strike by using the UN resolutions themselves. Bob writes, The resolutions do not authorize a preemptive strike on Iran, nor does the current Iran deal. Far from it. But some argue that legally the reason that individual nations are supposed to hold off from preemptive strikes is that the UN is supposed to handle collective security issues so that individual nations do not need to. Some have argued that if the UN drops the ball persistently over a long period in protecting an individual nation from a security issue, then there is more justification for that nation to take preemptive action in self-defense. There will likely be an initial UN resolution in the near future to set the stage for later sanctions removal. However, until UN sanctions are actually removed and Irans violator status is reset by a second round of UN resolutions likely around when the IAEA gives its report Israel can still argue that Iran is a violator which the UN failed to stop, even according to its own standards. All of that changes once sanctions are removed and Iran is no longer a presumed violator. Also, until the second round of UN resolutions pass, there could be numerous instances of Iranian cheating or foot-dragging on specific obligations. According to the Iran deal, a Joint Commission vote of the US, UK, EU, France, and Germany can override Iran, Russia, and China to snap sanctions back on within 24 days of Iran being caught carrying out violations, such as nuclear activities that were undeclared. What if Iran gets caught, 24 days pass, and the five Western powers blink? If this occurs before the UN resolution, the Israeli argument would actually be stronger, because Iran would be in express violation of its most recent commitments, along with past UN resolutions. Of course, the agreement views noncompliance as a reason to snap back sanctions, not for a sudden strike on Iran. But on the spectrum of legal justifiability, Israel would be better off making a preemptive strike than it would be after the UN resolution is passed. Although Bob himself does not call for military action against Iran in his article, the discussion which is currently taking place all over the Israeli media is telling. The fact that the entire country seems to be engaged in a debate about the proper Israeli reaction in a manner similar to the debate that took place in America during the insanity of the question of Iraqs WMDs shows that the gears of war are gaining both speed and momentum. Indeed, a sizable portion of Israels population already supports strikes on Iran. Notice, however, the frame-up for the question of war against Iran namely that the Iranians are found to be in violation of the nuclear agreements, particularly before the UN resolution to remove sanctions and rebrand Iran as a nation that is not a nuclear violator is in force. Forget for a second the ideal situation for Israel a violation before an official UN resolution. The truth is that any violation large or small, real, imagined, or manufactured will almost certainly suffice. The plan for a Western or a Western/Israeli attack on Iran, along with the theatre of alleged US-Israeli tensions leading up to a strike and outright war, has been in the works for some time. For instance, in 2009, the Brookings Institution, a major banking, corporate, and military-industrial firm, released a report entitled Which Path To Persia? Options For A New American Strategy For Iran, in which the authors mapped out a plan which leaves no doubt as to the ultimate desire from the Western financier, corporate, and governing classes. The plan involves the description of a number of ways the Western oligarchy would be able to destroy Iran including outright military invasion and occupation. However, the report attempts to outline a number of methods that might possibly be implemented before direct military invasion would be necessary. The plan included attempting to foment destabilization inside Iran via the color revolution apparatus, violent unrest, proxy terrorism, and limited airstrikes conducted by the US, Israel or both. Interestingly enough, the report states that any action taken against Iran must be done after the idea that Iran has rejected a fair and generous offer by the West has been disseminated throughout the general public. The report reads, 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. Ironically, it is admitted by the authors of the report that the Iranians are not governed by lunatics intent on nuking the world but by entirely rational players. Still, they move forward with a number of options for attacking Iran. It should thus be obvious to anyone reading this report that the US, NATO, and Israel are uninterested in peace with Iran and are entirely focused on war and Iranian destruction. The report continues to discuss the citations that could be used for an attack on Iran, clearly stating its intentions to create a plan to goad a non-threatening nation into war. It states, 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.) The question of the Israeli role in the possible attack against Iran is also mentioned by Brookings. In fact, in the chapter entitled, Allowing or Encouraging An Israeli Military Strike, Brookings not only outlines a potential strategy but essentially admits that the US-Israeli tension being hyped in the Western media is nothing more than a farce. It says, ..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). For those who believe that the Obama administration is hostile to the Israelis and their agenda, one need only look toward the decimated cities of Syria and the wasteland that is Libya in order to see that the opposite is the case. The Obama administration, like the previous administration, has been marching in lockstep with the Israelis since the very beginning and nothing has changed. The only difference is that the current administration is that of a Democratic President, thus the perception that Obama is weak on his support for Israel must be played up as a narrative. That narrative, however, is just that a narrative. It has no basis in reality whatsoever. The tentative agreement between the US and Iran regarding the latters nuclear program, with Israel wailing in the background, can easily be seen as a playout of the plan described by the Brookings Institution where an attack on Iran will come after it is perceived that Iran has rejected a superb offer. The Israelis are not dissatisfied with the United States nor is the United States dissatisfied with Israel. Both parties are merely playing a role in a carefully scripted act that ultimately involves more war against the enemies of Anglo-American imperialism and the world oligarchy. Do not be fooled by propaganda. While the Iranians are busy negotiating, the Americans and the Israelis are busy gearing up for war. Indeed, the Saudis, engaged in their own murderous campaign against the Houthis in Yemen, are apparently ready to join in as well. As the Jerusalem Post reports, In private talks with European sources, the Saudis have expressed their willingness to cooperate with Israel on Iran, including use of Saudi air space by the IDF for a possible air strike, according to a report by Channel 2. Cooperation with Saudi Arabia would not come free, however. According to the report, the Saudi officials said they would need to see progress between Israelis and Palestinians before having enough legitimacy to allow Israel to use their air space. The Saudis, of course, while professing a hatred of the Israelis have been working close together for some time, not the least of which in Libya and Syria but as mutual participants in the Anglo-American assault on countries not fully integrated into the global system controlled by private bankers and world oligarchs. The Israelis are not contemplating an attack against Iran because the Americans have betrayed them and they are most certainly not contemplating an attack out of a legitimate concern for their safety. The Israelis are merely playing their part in a theatre that was constructed some time ago, a screenplay that can be partially read in the Brookings Institutions 2009 report, Which Path To Persia? That path has clearly been mapped out by the Anglo-American establishment. It remains to be seen if the American population will allow them to follow it to its destination.

Please contact activistpost (at) gmail.com. so israel and saudi are going on a suicide mission, to force iran to turn their banks over to london, zuric, and the vatican trio. good luck. do you really believe iran wont fight back. israel couldnt beat hezbollah in 06. israel would be toast and uprisings would collapse saudi. is the entire us army going to be stationed in iran, and still wouldnt be able to control it(remember iraq has half the pop of iran, look how that played out). bring the whole world to a standstill because the bankers want control of the toll booth between the east and the west. the iranians saw banker control till 79 and rejected it. do you think with the images of greece, they havent prepared and are unwilling to submit to forced servitude. the us doesnt have the manpower or the will to do this. if they tried dc politicians would immediately go into hiding from the internal revolt I fear you may be completely underestimating the ruthless, malevolent hubris of those freaks in control in the Washington, London, Tel Aviv tri-axis of evil. The moment they had the apparatus available they summarily nuked two cities occupied mostly by women and children in a war they themselves fomented. Consider the implications of that. More recently, in order to beguile the drowsy public into a war mentality they staged a dramatically spectacular demolishing project, murdering 3000 people, in broad daylight, with a concurrent media disinformation program, and they glibly blamed other entirely innocent parties for this psychotic act of terrorism and launched devastation on the most innocent in those innocent countries. These freaks have set their demented focus on subjugating the last independent bastion on this planet and the burning and maiming of ten million children is of zero consequence to their plan. Yes, attacking Iran may be a suicide mission but that will only be for the gun toting, low paid Good article, we must stay alert and continue to expose their theatrical faade. Russia should send the S300 batteries fast, and Russia and China should guarantee Irans security, like US does with Israel. @ Jake, they dont need to occupy it, just destroy, and reinstate the sanctions. The Israeli plan for the Middle East was surfaced by former general Wesley Clark, on about 21 September 2001. He discovered a plan in the Pentagon to take out seven countries in Perhaps he wishes his family line to remain in existence. Traitor Clark would have an extremely difficult time doing that, since over half the USSA population own some 300 million firearms, and half of these gun owners are either combat veterans, hunters, or both. Any of them would arrest Clark in a flash, hold a quick trial, then hang him on the spot preferably in front of the Pentagon as a message to the Military that theyd better uphold their Oath, or face the same fate as Clark. Thats why the MOSSAD operated Dept of Homeland Security has classified veterans as homeland terrorists, many as PTSD (psychos) who are disqualified to own a pistol or rifle. Im a senior citizen and never have been a veteran or a hunter; and, its Dept of Homeland Insecurity; since, they arent (nor have they ever been) protecting America against enemies, foreign and domestic. Clark needs an arrest warrant issued for him immediately for being a traitor. I suspect that an additional 599 or so arrest warrants would better match the need. Invierno, below, seems to know the insider story. Why does this article not address the fact that Israel has already used nukes in Syria? Is that little tidbit not relevant to this article? It appears, as Ive read thousands of of these op-ed bloggy pieces, that some of these fearless activist writers go to a certain line in the sand, and then? Stop. There is video proof of the release of nuclear weapons in Syria. Visit jimstonefreelance. You may have to hunt and peck to find it, but the video is there. The zio-press is so omnipotent they have the chops to keep that out of the news, and writers, perhaps fearing for their own skin, thinking of Clancy, and a host of mysterious deaths and dubious suicides from the TRULY fearless, hold their pen to a point and stop. Perhaps they recall David Mason and The Grey State project, in which he allegedly murdered his wife and young daughter, then killed himself, have stayed their pen to a certain line in the sand. The enemy we face redraws country borders, kills heads of state, genocides populations.removing a pesky journalist on fringe blog spots would be the work of a phone call prior to ordering eggs and mimosas. First huge elephant in the room: Israel has NO light sweet crude for the U.S.A.. Second huge elephant in the room: Iran is Chinas gas tank. Israel Saudi Arabiaan iteration of the king of the South. Russia Iranan iteration of the king of the North. See Daniel 11:40-45 for a glimpse of coming attractions. Michael (Daniel 12:1 Sura 2:98) This has nothing to do with anything other than Mossad manipulation to get the stupid goys to do their fighting for them. Israel is the devils advocate. God left Israel along time ago So Israel and Saudi Arabia want to brace Russia? Russia warned that they would nuke us if we invaded Iran, so what makes Israel immune? China and Russia would turn Israel into a burnt field of radioactive glass! Israel doesnt have the balls to invade anyone but Palestinians. What a joke! 
3	Media Continues Skin Cancer Scare by Vilifying Natural Sunlight, Vitamin DAnthony Gucciardi No, the number one villain according to the mainstream media is natural sunlight the very same sunlight that generates vitamin D upon coming into contact with your skin. Vitamin D has been found to slash your risk of cancer, aid in fat loss, beat fluoride in cavity prevention, and much more. Nonetheless, it appears that the substance is quite threatening as far as the media is concerned. The FDA continues to announce the effectiveness of sunscreen, urging consumers to get higher SPF level products many of which contain cancer-causing chemicals that are of much greater threat than natural sunlight. In addition, sunscreen completely blocks the production of vitamin D. Is it any wonder why there has been a resurgence of the rickets? Sun exposure, it seems, is something that is quite deadly according to the press. According to many experts like Dr. Robin Ashinoff, chief of dermatologic and cosmetic surgery at Hackensack University Medical Center, it is important to shield yourself as much as possible from the sun. In fact, the doctor states that going outside with sunscreen is almost as bad as going out without sunscreen. Surging up fear among concerned mothers worldwide (who will not allow their children out of the house without slathering them up with sunscreen and therefore causing serious childhood development problems), the doctor states: Wearing sunscreen and then deliberately going out in the sun is almost as [bad] as going out with no sunscreen at all. You dont get burned, but the UV rays are still getting into your skin. Sunscreen is important, but you should also wear the right clothing and shield yourself as much as possible from direct sun exposure. Ashinoff goes on to say that when it comes to sunscreen, you should get the highest number you can particularly anything above 50 SPF. Essentially, the sun is being propagated as carcinogenic threat to the entire population. Meanwhile, the real threats lie in the sunscreen formula itself lending reason as to why sunscreen causes cancer.Oxybenzone and other vague mystery chemicals are commonly placed in many brand-name sunscreens, with many such chemicals yet to be proven as safe to use at all. About 8 percent of all sunscreens have been quality tested by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) to be both safe and effective for the intended use, whereas the other 92 percent contain at least one (if not many more) of the ingredients designated as detrimental for human use. Meanwhile, vitamin D is being recognized as one of the most important substances for human health. Are people deficient in carcinogenic sunscreen chemicals, or could it possibly be vitamin D a natural byproduct of sunlight?

2	See Michelle Obamas Hypocritical Question After Complaining About Money In Politics First Lady Michelle Obama has been making headlines again after speaking at a fundraiser and complaining that there is too much money in politics. Of course, to those that know the history of the Obamas, the statement is extraordinarily hypocritical. After her statement, she continued on to ask the attendees of the fundraiser to donate money to support the Democratic party in the November election. She told them that writing a check could be the difference they need to hold position in the White House. She said that the money would also be used to help Obama make progress. Michelle claims that he has not been able to do so because everything he attempts to do is being opposed by Republicans. The event itself cost $500 per person to attend. Some couples, however, donated around $20,000. 
2	Find Out Why These Police Officers Just Submitted To Shariah Law Since reporting on no-go zones in Paris, Fox News has been facing immense criticism. Now, the French government is suing the network. Still, many continue to support Fox News and their willingness to tell the truth even in controversy. And the truth is something that needs to be discuss: the risk of Shariah law is spreading in America. Not too long ago, four Christians were detained and arrested at an Arab festival in Dearborn Michigan. They were cited and arrested for disorderly conduct, when in fact, their only crime was preaching Christianity instead of Islam. They were arrested for simply handing out Christian literature on a public sidewalk. This seems like a blatant violation of the First Amendment, as well as a clear abuse of police powers. This is just one example of the law not being compatible with the religious laws of Islam. Theyre coming as the Muslim population grows, claims Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal. We already see areas such as Dearborn, Michigan: It isnt a no-go zonepolice dont fear to enter there and non-Muslims arent menaced for non-adherence to Shariah normsbut police did the bidding of the Muslim communityand arrested some Christian missionaries solely for the crime of preaching to Muslims. A Shariah crimenot a crime according to any U.S. law. What do you think of this incident? 
1	In a response to recent acts of extreme violence against Americans in Iraq and mounting criticism of U.S. military policy at home, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announced the government's new strategy of fighting terror with terror Monday. U.S. soldiers using the government's new policy to fight terror abroad. 'Look, in order to catch a rat, you gotta think like one,' Rumsfeld said in a grainy and degraded videotape message filmed at an unknown location and released to CNN Monday. 'We've been pussy-footing around the war on terrorism for years. All that time, the answer was right in front of us: In order to wipe out terror around the globe, once and for all, we've gotta beat them at their own game.' 'We tried playing fair,' Rumsfeld continued. 'But how can you play by the rules when your opponent doesn't even know the rules? You don't bring a knife to a gunfight. That's just the way it is, folks. It's a dog-eat-dog world.' On the seven-minute tape, Rumsfeld is joined by counter-terrorist leaders Vice-President Dick Cheney and Attorney General John Ashcroft, each seated on folding chairs in front of an American flag. Ashcroft described some tactics the government currently usespre-dawn assaults on civilian targets and subjecting potential stateside traitors to psychological intimidationas a 'small step in the right direction.' 'I can't really say what we have planned for the future,' Rumsfeld said. 'As terrorists, fear and uncertainty will be our best weapons. Let me just say that the gloves are off. It is inevitable that indiscriminate attacks will be carried out, and innocents will lose their lives, but the end will justify the means.' Rumsfeld refused to comment on the recent abuse of military prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan, other than to characterize those abuses as 'nothing compared to what we are capable of.' 'It's vital to remember that these terrorists hate freedom,' Rumsfeld said. 'Well, guess what? From now on, we're going to hate it even more. Do you think terrorists care about due process and fair treatment of prisoners? Of course not. Why should we give them the upper hand? You fight fire with fire.' Cheney restated that the goal of the new policy is to put an end to terror around the world, once and for all. 'It's time to get this war over with,' Cheney said. 'The philosopher Eric Hoffer said, 'You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you.' Well, we've been observing, but finally we've started taking notes. We'll have these terrorists running scared in no time.' Cheney urged Americans to 'be on alert' in upcoming months. A NYPD officer uses terror to fight terror in Times Square. 'Seneca once said, 'To be feared is to fear: No one has been able to strike terror into others and at the same time enjoy peace of mind,'' Cheney said. 'If we want these terrorists to fear the U.S., we as a people need to be filled with fear. Expect to see more heavily armed, uniformed officers, both at home and abroad.' Elliott Abrams, Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director For Near East and North African Affairs, said that the Bush Administration acknowledged the ethical inconsistencies of its opposing-terrorism-through-terrorism stance, but doesn't really care. 'Look, any eighth-grader knows that the line between good and evil is blurry,' Abrams said. 'Our concern is the safety of the American people. An eye for an eye: Let's see if that plan works.' Abrams refused to provide clues about the time and method of attack, other than to allude to an 'election-year surprise.' 'Just wait and you'll see,' Abrams said. 'Martin Luther King said, 'Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.' Well, enemies of democracy and freedom around the world are going to find out just how right he was. They'll see just how dark it can get.' Experts from the Mukhabarat el-Aama Egyptian intelligence service have deemed the message authentic. 'There is no doubt who the men on the tape are,' spokesman Sulieman Assad said. 'Cheney can clearly be recognized from previous tapes, albeit a bit aged, and John Ashcroft is wearing his iconic stern, fanatical expression. I would recommend that the Arab world raise its security alert level to 'severe,' but apparently, it has already been that way for some time.' 
1	A era in discount merchandising came to an end Sunday, when the last of the famed Sane Freddies electronics stores closed its doors, a victim of what one industry analyst termed the trend toward psychosis in American retail. I am a reasonable human being with reasonable prices, said Frederick Sane Freddie Klein. My competitors, on the other hand, are insane. I can no longer compete. A Panasonic XBS-2000 CD boom box with detachable speakers and MegaBass for $129? Thats pure madness. A Magnavox 19-inch TV with SurroundSound for $199? Utter insanity. Klein, 43, built an audio and video empire and became a familiar figure on television with his promises of rational prices and lucid service. Customers had long marvelled at his ability to keep his head about him and control his temper, even during the enormously hectic holiday shopping season. His stores were models of moral and intellectual stability, said Frances Noonan, a long-time friend and customer of Kleins. Whether I was buying a new Aiwa-brand 300-watt stereo or just a few 12-packs of Duracell AA batteries, everyone who worked there was consistently coherent. Those familiar with the retail industry say there is no longer room for merchandisers such as Klein in an era dominated by schizophrenic, paranoid and utterly delirious entrepreneurs. This was inevitable, said Douglas Lehman of The Wall Street Journal. If you look around the business landscape right now, the big retailers are Schizophrenic Johnnys, Mentally Ill Nates, and Electronics Gone Completely Awry. These places are owned and staffed by the certifiably insane, and their prices are so low they reflect a profound loss of contact with reality. Reaction among Kleins competitors was mixed. Bat-shit Freaking Insane Johnny Petrocelli, whose self-named string of electronics stores recently opened its 200th outlet, gloated over the business demise of the man he said had installed the transmitting bug in my ear that sends my thoughts to the head of the CIA. Offering kinder words was kitchen appliance tycoon Nutty Nate Roberts, one of whose 13 separate personalities, Victor, praised Klein as my Daddy. Electronics is but one of many industries being revolutionized by the current demand for mental illness in business. $45 million was made last year by Psychopathia Sexualis Mufflers, an automotive-supply store founded jointly by 15 patients of the California Home for the Criminally Insane. 
3	Radioactive Food And Water The New Normal In JapanBy Richard Wilcox, PhD When drinking water, remember its source. Chinese proverb Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Japan has an amazing food culture thanks in part to the rich volcanic soil and ample rainfall, despite the lack of spacious farms. As it stands, Japan can feed approximately one third of its population from domestic production. If you watch Japanese TV from time to time, you will see a bizarre and disturbing fetishization of food that borders on the insane. The media and in turn consumers are obsessed with food as not only a source of nutrition and social cohesion (all for the good), but as art, fashion and status symbol, a celebration of gluttony and greed; an infantile obsession with eating for self satisfaction. I love good and healthy food and appreciate Asian cuisine, but we eat to live, not live to eat. This social pathology affects other cultures as well as seen by increasing rates of extreme obesity especially in Western countries due to the proliferation of shopping malls, junk food and high fructose corn syrup. How ironic then that a high food society like Japan would have to suffer the insult of radioactive contamination. This is not a tuna melt sandwich but a nuclear melt-down sundae. The long-term consequences of the Fukushima nuclear disaster continue to linger years after the event. Anyone who studies Chernobyl will know that even after three decades radioactive contamination persists. Although a different type of accident occurred there, in the case of Fukushima it was three reactors that had meltdowns instead of one, and even possibly melt throughs referring to corium penetrating the reactor buildings in lateral and vertical outward paths. In the days and months that followed the Fukushima disaster in March of 2011, many people became very worried about radioactive contamination of the food and water supply, especially from short-lived iodine isotopes, followed by the more persistent and harmful cesium, strontium and plutonium. There was much testing by both the government and independent researchers and organizations. Despite the best efforts of the Japanese government, nuclear industry and mainstream media to downplay the crisis, social media proved helpful in educating the public about how to reduce consumer risks. The worst contamination occurred nearest the disaster site of the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power station (Dai-ichi) which is located about half way up the east coast in Fukushima prefecture. When I visited Hirano town with my colleague Yoichi Shimatsu in 2013, we traveled on foot within a few kilometers of the site. We observed abnormally high levels of radiation making it unfit for long-term habitation. Decontamination has taken place there but it is not a thorough removal method and basically shifts radiation from one spot to another in the environment. Today, if you visit the Japanese government website of the Nuclear Regulation Authority (1) you can find a variety reports on radiation levels with most reports citing very low levels of radiation. How the government arrives at such measurements is not clearly explained at the website. Are their measurements reliable or being taken in a selective manner? The government hopes to normalize the former evacuation zone by allowing and encouraging residents to move back as soon as possible, despite their reluctance to do so. Only 28% of Fukushima children returning to former schools. The majority of schoolboys and girls are opting to stay out of their hometowns due to anxiety over radiation exposure and resettlement at evacuation sites (2). The problem of radioactive contamination is not unique to Fukushima but to the entire region including Tokyo, home of millions. Recall that 60 million people were originally exposed to radioactive fallout from the accident. Japan was actually lucky because the majority of radiation blew out to sea away from Honshu, not back over the population. While the government moves to allow wide-scale fishing off the coast of Fukushima (3), and the NRA reports minimal levels of radiation leaking from the plant into the ocean, this confidence in a safe environment is undermined by a report from Greenpeace which found [r]adiation along Fukushima rivers up to 200 times higher than Pacific Ocean seabed. Riverbank sediment samples taken along the Niida River in Minami Soma, measured as high as 29,800 Bq/kg for radiocaesium (Cs-134 and 137). The Niida samples were taken where there are no restrictions on people living, as were other river samples. At the estuary of the Abukuma River in Miyagi prefecture, which lies more than 90km north of the Fukushima Daiichi plant, levels measured in sediment samples were as high as 6,500 Bq/kg (4). The rivers and ocean are connected and one wonders why the media does not report on these worrying hotspots. These dangerously high levels are indicative of the widely scattered hotspots in the region. In contrast, I could find no reports on the radiation levels at river banks and lake beds at the NRA website, only some reports on radiation found in dust, seawater and so on. For example, one 2014 report states: Air dose rates in both Road and its adjacent area and Vacant land lot have decreased more rapidly than we expected considering the physical half-life of radionuclide in 32 months after the accident. Air dose rates in Road and its adjacent area have decreased more rapidly than Vacant land lot in 32 months after the accident (5). A few months ago I was shopping at my health food store in central Tokyo when I was asked by the clerk if I would like to be interviewed by a TV reporter from the Asahi News. I said sure why not. Japanese TV often has man on the street types of interviews and if you put the shop in a good light, you might appear in a news infomercial. The reporter asked me various questions about why I buy organic food and I spoke proficiently in Japanese about the positive benefits of eating organic food including its superior nutrition and flavor, and because it contributes to the local farm economy. But I shocked the guy at this point when I bluntly stated that due to the radioactive contamination from Fukushima nuclear disaster, I prefer to buy food produced from as far away as possible, never from the northeast or Tokyo regions of Japan. Food from the west and far southwest of Japan has substantially less radioactive contamination. Im not sure if the reporter was even aware of the issue, being a news reporter you think he might have been. But it was clear from his reaction that this was a one hundred percent taboo topic. Perhaps because I was a foreigner I was perceived as rude and barbaric for raising it, and I knew ahead of time that by mentioning this my interviewed would not be aired, and it wasnt. In fact, after the 3/11 accident my regular health food shop very noticeably shifted the origin of their produce away from the northeast and Tokyo and toward the west, southwest of Japan due to consumer concerns. As for the Asahi News who are an arm of the Abe Propaganda Establishment (APE), Fukushima must only be presented to the public as a pristine location whose products are reliable and safe. A recent study reported: According to the agriculture ministry, 260,538 food items were inspected in fiscal 2015, and 99 percent of farm products had cesium of less than 25 becquerels per kilogram. The tests showed that 264 items, or 0.1 percent of the total, had cesium exceeding the upper limit. Of these, 259 or 98 percent were wild mushrooms, game meat, freshwater fish and other so-called hard-to-control items (6). According to this official data, small numbers of becquerels could be probably are routinely entering the general food supply, not to mention the issue of Tokyos persistently contaminated water supply which contains minute amounts of cesium. Radiation is the new normal. Although the majority of food is under 25 bq per kg of contamination, we dont know the exact amount. If you multiply that small amount by the number of items consumed daily the danger to health grows exponentially over time. It is good that Japan has strict standards on radioactive food products the US allows 1,500 becquerels per kilogram versus Japans 100 but the ubiquitous and long-term aspect of the problem is an ongoing concern.

The inhalation or ingestion of just one cesium particle gives you a prbability of a life threatening cancer within 10 years Dont worry, everything is at a Safe Level + ingesting and breathing in radioactive particles helps build strong bodies 12 ways, kinda like Wonderbread, only better. The problem is not with the radiation itself, but with microscopic radioactive hot particles. If you ingest just one speck of plutonium dust for instance (which was ejected into the atmosphere in huge quantities when that Fukushima reactor with MOX fuel in it blew sky high), it will be absorbed into your tissues and constantly irradiate the surrounding cells, causing them to turn cancerous. Within a few years you WILL get cancer or heart disease. Of course, since its just one speck of dust, nobody will ever attribute your sickness to radioactive fallout and it would be impossible to find that one radioactive dust particle hiding in your body. The only way you can tell is by looking at health statistics after a nuclear accident and comparing cancer and heart disease rates before and after the event. Some people have done that with Chernobyl and estimate that more than a million people have died in the thirty years since. Unfortunately this is indirect evidence only as you simply cannot say for sure whether their early deaths were caused by radioactive contamination. It is the perfect crime, as they say. Excellent summary of the situation, I agree with your assessment. The Nuclear Cartel, the government and media are involved in a massive cover up so it is difficult to obtain reliable statistics as to mortality rates related to Fukushima etc. Recently the Gov published a report that although a number of children in Fukushima have contracted the nodules of thyroid dancer, their claim is that the cancer is unrelated to Fukushima radiation. Really? How often do kids normally come down with thyroid cancer? From some sources I have heard, almost NEVER. It is unheard of in Japan. Of course, this bogus study did not compare thyroid cancer rates in Fukushima with other parts of the country, it is just reported as fact as if there is no connection between the cancer and the radiation, no evidence cited. They dont want to open themselves up to litigation. Throw into the mix, by the way, the incineration of radioactive debris that has taken place all over the country, and those radioactive isotopes are indeed in the air where people can breath them. Thank you for your interest.

The 950-member church officially began its 17-day burn Friday evening with a dramatic church-lighting ceremony. Let this church inspire all the athletes assembled here to reach higher than they ever dared to dream, said William Grommer, U.S. Olympic Committee president. Each day the flames rise from the First Baptist Church, our Olympic pride grows stronger. Following Grommers dedication speech, Grammy-winning pop superstar Celine Dion sang the official Olympic church-burning theme song, The Colors of the Congregation. 
1	After concluding its fifth season last June with Don Draper and company facing new personal and professional challenges, the critically acclaimed AMC series Mad Men returns Sunday with a two-hour season premiere featuring a group of television actors terrified to death of never making the transition from television to film, sources confirmed. In this new season, we wanted to really explore how a group of nervous small-screen performers navigate a professional world in which they constantly worry about not being taken seriously by the film industry, Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner told reporters, adding that the new season picks up six years after the actors first appeared in the series with the goal of building their name recognition on television, branching out into smaller movie roles, transitioning to feature films, and hopefully disassociating themselves with their Mad Men characters. This has been a common theme since the third season. But now that the series is almost coming to a close, I think it will be very interesting to see how these actors freak out about what theyre going to do in two years when Mad Men has disappeared from public consciousness and they still havent had anything close to a leading role in a major motion picture. Weiner added that while he doesnt want to spoil anything, it will become very clear by seasons end that one prominent performer will more than likely end up on Showtime in a role where he plays himself and makes fun of his career. 
2	Obamas Department Of Veterans Affairs Bans Merry Christmas, Christmas Trees, And... This cant be denied anymore. Christians in our country are being silenced, and it has to stop. According to recent reports, the Department of Veterans Affairs has just banned employees in Salem, Virginia from saying Merry Christmas to veterans. Along with the greeting, Christmas trees and other celebrations were also banned. Heres a clip from the directions below: Public areas may only be decorated in a manner that is celebratory of the winter season. Displays must not promote any religion. Please note that trees (regardless of the types of ornaments used) have been deemed to promote the Christian religion and will not be permitted in any public areas this year. The email also claimed that Christmas music is not allowed. All music, it claims, must be secular. What do you think? Are you sick of Christians being shamed for expressing their beliefs? Has this gotten way out of hand? 
3	Behind The Euro Immigration Crisis; Who Is Responsible And WhyBy Brandon Turbeville The immigration crisis has not formed organically nor has it formed in a vacuum. The people attempting to enter Europe over the last few weeks are a diverse lot, but the overwhelming majority of them are fleeing countries where the West, the United States, and NATO have brought peace and democracy in the last few years via bombs, troops, or proxy terrorists. In other words, the migrant crisis was created entirely by the West. But, while the West has been so absolutely uncaring regarding the people whose lives they destroy with their exceptional militaries, photos of a dead Syrian boy have been paraded across Western media outlets to pull on the heartstrings of a public who, when it comes to most Syrians, generally has no heart at all. The little boy who drowned in his familys attempt to escape the democracy of beheadings, rapes, and chants of Allahu Akbar funded by NATO is a tragedy. This cannot be argued otherwise. However, the boys photo is also a prime example of Western hypocrisy and duplicity. While the world has focused on one dead child washing up on the shores of Turkey, nothing at all was said about the little girl about the same age as the boy in the photo who was killed by a car bomb in Latakia at around the same time. She was a victim of Americas moderate rebels who have beheaded and raped their way across Syria. She died a violent death. Yet Western media remained silent regarding her case and the case of the thousands of children killed by the Western-backed terrorists operating in Syria. Only in the case of the boy on the beach was the media indignant. Of course, the media attempted to blame the death of the little boy and his family indeed, all of the Syrian refugees on Bashar al-Assad and his cruelty, barrel bombs, and other methods of terrorism. If one were to listen to the Western media, it would appear that not one single civilian has died at the hands of the rebels. According to the mainstream press, all deaths in Syria are the fault of Assad. It should be noted that the Syrian destabilization was initiated by the West and that Assad has done nothing but defend his people and his country in the face of an Anglo-American assault. Assad is widely popular in Syria, unlike the terrorists eating Syrian soldiers and buying Syrian girls as sex slaves. At this point, it is important to ask yourself, If the Syrian refugees were escaping Syria because of Assads cruelty, why did we not witness an immigration crisis in 2008? 2009? 2010? In fact, why have we not seen such a mass exodus until now? The answer is simple It is because the Syrian refugees are fleeing savages, terrorists, and Western bombs, not Assad. With ISIS forces closing in on the government strongholds to which many refugees inside Syria had already fled, the refugees are now being pushed out into Europe. An interview conducted by Turkish television with a number of Syrian refugees revealed the fact that the overwhelming majority of Syrians do not fear Assad, they fear the savages funded by the West parading under the guise of freedom fighters. The Eretz Channel interview also revealed that these Syrians are not trying to escape Syria for the golden streets of Europe but merely awaiting the time until they are able to return home. Interviewer: In Turkey, they say that Assads army is oppressing you and destroying your homes. Is this true? Refugee: No, No. No! This is completely WRONG! The Syrian Army rescued me! Refugee 2: We used to live in extreme security, thank God! Refugee 3: The world must see what is happening in Syria. If it gets destroyed it will get rebuilt . . . Whether its at the level of the leadership or the people. Anyone that says theres a Free [Syrian] Army, I tell them No, there is terrorism. The terrorism is done via external conspiracy with external financing. But, we are alive, we are returning, we are returning, we are returning! The Syrian refugee situation was entirely created by the West from the beginning of the crisis right up until the present. It is precisely the United States, NATO, and Israel that have the blood of these children on their hands. If it were not for the meddling and aggression of these countries both the drowned Syrian boy and the dead Syrian girl would still be alive today. Turkey Pushing Syrian Refugees Into Europe? It should be noted that the influx of Syrian refugees into Europe, beginning now in such massive numbers and simultaneously taken place with immigrants coming from other locations in the Middle East and North Africa is not only the result of a pressure valve resulting from a greater ISIS push west, but also from apparent deliberate action by Turkey. Such a coordinated plan is alluded to in an article entitled Refugee Flow Linked To Turkish Policy Shift, published in Greeces Kathimerini paper. The article states, A sharp increase in the influx of migrants and refugees, mostly from Syria, into Greece is due in part to a shift in Turkeys geopolitical tactics, according to diplomatic sources. These officials link the wave of migrants into the eastern Aegean to political pressures in neighboring Turkey, which is bracing for snap elections in November, and to a recent decision by Ankara to join the US in bombing Islamic State targets in Syria. The analyses of several officials indicate that the influx from neighboring Turkey is taking place as Turkish officials look the other way or actively promote the exodus. [emphasis added] Goal Of Immigration Push So why has the Western media focused on the drowned Syrian boy? Why have we seen this image floating around all forms of media over the last few weeks? Obviously, it is not because of the concern held by the West for Syrians or Syrian children. An even bigger question, however, is Why the sudden influx of immigrants and refugees into Europe now? The answer, of course, is at least twofold. First, with the ability of Assad to hold out for as long as he has in the face of the Anglo-American onslaught, the need for greater use of Western military power in addition to terrorist proxies has become apparent. The creation of a safe zone in Syria by the United States and Turkey was one major step toward greater direct military involvement in Syria and the re-creation of the destruction of Libya, this time in version 2.0. The Russian announcement of an expeditionary force in Syria and the upcoming vote on the Iranian nuclear deal in the US Congress, however, has created the need to accelerate the attack on Syria before the Russians become too entrenched and before Iranian money and supplies can flow even freer to the SAA. Hence, the new debate as to whether or not certain European countries should engage in greater bombing in Syria, this time openly stating that Assad and Syrian forces will be the target in addition to the phony claim that ISIS will be the main target. For instance, the Western media is now awash with reports that the British are seriously considering bombing ISIS in Syria. However, while the discussion in England revolves around the bombing of ISIS, the true nature of the discussion revolves around the question of whether or not to engage in the creation of safe havens and the bombing of the Assad government forces. As the Huffington Post reported in its article, David Cameron Facing Pressure To Bomb Islamic State In Syria After Lord Carey Calls To Group To Be Crushed, David Cameron is facing growing pressure to extend RAF air strikes into Syria as the worsening conflict threatened to drive increasing numbers of desperate refugees to seek sanctuary in Europe. Former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey became the latest senior figure to call for a renewed military effort to crush Islamic State (IS) in its Syrian heartlands. He also backed calls for British military intervention to help create safe enclaves within the country where civilians would be protected from attack by the warring parties in Syrias bloody civil war. [emphasis added] [] His intervention came after Chancellor George Osborne acknowledged that a comprehensive plan was needed to tackle the refugee crisis at source. Speaking to reporters at a meeting of G20 finance ministers in Turkey on Saturday, he said that meant dealing with the evil regime of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad as well as the militant jihadists of IS. [emphasis added] Thus, we see that the influx of refugees into Europe is being used to frighten the European public with images of Muslim fanatics, hordes of people chanting Allahu Akbar! and Fuck you! into supporting a bombing campaign against the Syrian government. The European public, already witnessing their countries and cultures being destroyed under waves of immigration and now being confronted with the physical violence of dislocation of themselves as well as the immigrants, are likely to simply throw up their hands in frustration and accept the bombing campaign as a solution. They will simply say Do whatever you have to do stop ISIS and/or Assad. Just get these people out of here! The waves of immigrants arriving from a war-torn country, fresh with images of drowned children, thirsty adults, and general misery will be used by the Responsibility To Protect (R2P)/Humanitarian Bomber crowds of the left liberal variety in order to bring the second half of the false political dichotomy on board with a bombing campaign right conservatives were already vociferously supporting. The second aspect of this latest wave of immigration is the destruction of European culture with diverse and often opposing cultures and the creation of an easy divide and conquer strategy in order to break the European people using the already broken immigrant population. Already, Europe has been overwhelmed with massive waves of immigration from Middle Eastern and African nations as well as other third world countries, even before the Syrian crisis. Under a number of guises economic, ethical, etc. the ruling class has opened the floodgates to immigration from countries whose culture is vastly different from that of the host country and where the majority of citizens of European countries are themselves struggling to make ends meet. The influx of immigrants has only worsened the economic situation of the European countries who have taken them in, creating another underclass of low-wage low skill workers who are then played off against the indigenous Europeans. Anger at second class status is directed at Europeans from immigrants while anger at the lowering of wages and living standards are directed at immigrants from Europeans. Neither group ever understands that it is the oligarchical elements of their societies that have created such conditions at home and abroad and thus turn their pent up anger on one another. In addition, there seems to be a concerted effort to recruit more fundamentalist elements of foreign societies for relocation in Europe. Sources inside Syria, for instance, have told this writer that the more fundamentalist Muslims in Syria seem to be given preferential treatment for refugee status. Of course, this is not to say that the Syrian refugees are fundamentalist or even that the majority of them are of this variety. We must be careful not to paint with broad brushes. Still, it is difficult to avoid seeing that the more fundamentalist refugees seem to be given greater attention and assistance in making their way to European countries. That there has been a concerted effort to open the floodgates for immigration in Europe, particularly in Britain, for social engineering purposes can scarcely be denied. After all, Andrew Neather, a former adviser to Tony Blair, Jack Straw, and David Blunkett, admitted that there had been a plan by government ministers, Straw, Blair, and the Labour party to allow so much immigration into Britain that it would change the face of the country forever. It is also important to point out that the immigrants finding their way to European shores are not all Syrian. Indeed, many of the immigrants are coming from all across the Middle East and North Africa. Some reports have shown how many of the immigrants are declared as Syrian but are, in reality, from other locations. Because of the nature of the conflict, it is easier to claim oneself as a Syrian refugee in order to receive some of the privileges given to Syrians by a number of European countries as a result of the crisis. Solutions The immigration crisis being experienced in Europe today is entirely one of Europes own making. By engaging in war after war in the Middle East and North Africa, it is Europe that bears the responsibility (along with Israel and the United States) for killing millions of innocent people and displacing millions more. It is thus the responsibility of Europe and other guilty parties to engage in policies that will eliminate the source of displacement. Of course, the European oligarchs know well that they are responsible for the mass displacement and are working to exploit that displacement to their own ends. Regardless, it is important to mention a number of rational solutions that would solve an ensuing tragedy in the hopes that activists and the general public may force their implementation. It is clear that Europe cannot continue to accept such unfettered immigration. Immigration policies such as the ones discussed above have already wrought economic and cultural havoc upon a number of European nations. The average European, of course, is as entitled to his own country, culture, and opportunities as any other human being. However, while Europe should refuse to allow such waves of immigration, immigrants themselves should never be blamed for seeking a better life or for seeking to escape the hell that the West has visited upon them. Thus, the first step that must be taken, aside from preventing the mass influx of immigrants, is an immediate cessation of any and all bombing of Syria and other related nations. There must be an immediate cessation of support for ISIS, FSA, Nusra, or any other moderate cannibal operating in the Middle East. The Syrian government must be allowed to wipe these terrorists off its territory, preferably with assistance and intelligence provided by Europe and the United States. If the United States refuses to change its position on Syria, then the U.S. must go it alone. Remember, Syrian immigrants in particular are not going to Europe because they dream of debating gender politics, sipping coffee in French cafes, or kneeling at the feet of the queen. They are going to Europe because their homes have been destroyed, their families have been killed, and their country is overrun with savages. Thus, Europe may also be well served to assist in the rebuilding of Syria with a comprehensive plan of foreign investment and credit extended from various European central banks (nationalized banks) for the purpose of rebuilding civilian infrastructure, hospitals, schools, sanitation, roads, and industry. Europe should extend civilized cooperation with Syria in this regard. While in staunch opposition to the will of the world oligarchy, the above solutions are the only hope of the Syrian and the European peoples. If unheeded, both Syrian and European culture and national identities will be erased and the living standards of all continue to be eviscerated. Clearly, European oligarchs do not want to see a peaceful end to the crisis in Syria nor do they desire to see a peaceful and humanitarian end to the immigration crisis. It is for that reason that the European people must begin to build coalitions amongst themselves and, indeed, amongst immigrant communities, in order to force them to do so.

Who is responsible? The greedy few who profit personally from wars. The bankers, the armament industries, the oil executives the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned us of. There are those choice few who push for war There would be no wars if my sons did not want them, said Mama Rothschild. The warmongering elite should host the refugees at their own palatial estates all over the globe and penthouse apartments in NYC and London while the warmongers themselves should be given a time-out in isolation until they stop advocating war, practicing pedophilia and honing the fine art of dining in the hope of proving their superiority, their aristocracy. All that proves to me is their abject depravity. Its only appropriate for the real perpetrators to pay for their crimes against humanity not that they can ever make up for even one life they have destroyed. After being bombarded with junk news about the crisis in the past weeks, I must admit this is an absolutely great article, spot on! The analysis is prefectly correct. And the only thing which Id like to add is that there is time to talk and time to act. In this particular case, the people and EU citizens must act and revolt against the leadership driving the EU, but also the US and the rest of the world into total chaos according to the Rothschilds and Rockerfellers master plan for total control of the population. As Public Enemy nicely put it in their songs Fight the power and F**k the police, the time has come to do exactly so right now. Thanks, Israel. Yes, there are legitimate Syrian refugees, but the boats making it to Italy are not Syrians or Arabs. They are primarily young African males, and this makes up the majority of the influx. They are not looking to return, like the Syrians, they are looking to be parasites on the generous northern European welfare rolls. More Abuse towards Europe and White folks. Sorry, but Europeans are not to blame for the disgusting behaviour of muslims. But this is a very typical left-wing/muslim analysis. Two groups who refuse to accept any responsibility for their behaviour. The Africans and the Muslims are cowards, fleeing and trying to take what Europe has spent thousands of years developing. They are an inferior and uncivilized people, that is why their countries are filth. Nothing to do with us, and since they will never change, they do not belong in Civilized countries. Abusing Disgusting articles like this one, are no longer working to manipulate the minds of westerners. Your time is done. You just described Islams goal. The west is Christians, yet you blame the WEST for ISLAMIC behaviour? Typical muslim. an idiot or a troll? does it really matter. Christians are no better than islam/muslim. The Christians continue to support the largest pedophile organization in the world.the Catholic church. The Christians sit back and ignore the relentless killilng of innocent people throughout the mideast and other parts of the world. The Christians now believe in gay marriage. Christians killed the indigenous population of Indians in this country. The Christians dropped two atomic bombs on innocent Japanese cities and thought it was a good idea. I think that track record alone beats Islam when it comes to hatred, genocide, fraud and murder. Do you really know who you are and what you represent?? Utter Rot. No-where did Jesus endorse cutting off peoples heads. The Koran and Hadiths are riddled with this rubbish. Jesus said I will die for you muhammed said Kill for me. The West, which is the most socially and technologically advanced society on earth was created by Christianity. There are 800 Million Illiterate muslims. The rest of what youve said is just absolutely absurd. Christians did not kill the indigenous, that is more left-wing revisionist History. Manhatten was PURCHASHED off the natives, by the Dutch, you bloody clown. The catholic church has not nor will it ever endorse pedophillia, there are far more teachers, doctors, and other occupations that have pedophiles in their ranks than the bloody chruch. So the only person trolling here is you. Im an atheist, but even I can see the unbelievable difference between christianity and Islam. You would have to be extremely dumb, or blind to not see this. Its not as though anyone is unable to sleep at night because the Amish are going to blow them up. Bloody Idiot.! George Soros and Jacob Rothschild. these are the people responsible. 
1	Upon hearing that team owner Jerry Jones had traded draft picks to the Tennessee Titans for troubled cornerback Adam 'Pac-Man' Jones, Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens held a press conference to discuss his personal misgivings over acquiring a troubled player whose me-first personality and history of off-the-field issues could potentially damage the team. 'I think my character speaks for itself,' Owens told reporters after arriving late to the press conference in his custom Hummer, which he parked on the sidewalk directly in front of the Texas Stadium press entrance. 'You all know what I think of players who are locker-room distractions, who can't play with the team, who always have to be in the spotlight. I'm warning youthis 'Pac-Man' guy has the reputation of being one of those self-centered types no one can stand.' 'You heard it here first,' Owens added, taking time to glare at each camera present for at least 10 seconds. 'From me, TO. No need to ask any else. That's it. That's all. That's the final word, everything the best wide receiver in the NFL has to say. Period.' Owens then spent 25 minutes reading aloud from a list of every problem Jones had experienced during his troubled three-year tenure in the NFL. 'He's been in fights at nightclubs, he's been implicated in a shooting at a strip cluba strip club!in Las Vegas. Las Vegas!' Owens said after finishing the list. 'Several times he's been around people who were involved with drugs. Drugs, man. Drugs. And he has been observed on more than one occasion being openly disrespectful to women. And now he's a Dallas Cowboy? It doesn't make any sense. I'm just glad that Michael Irvin isn't around to see this.' Owens then fell silent for several minutes, his anger evidently transformed into sadness, before suddenly producing a large bottle of painkillers and attempting to swallow the contents. Upon being restrained by security, Owens addressed what the acquisition of Jones would mean to the team as a whole. 'The Cowboys have always been the good guys, the character team, the class act, the golden boys of this league, the one everybody cheers for, the underdog, the nice guys, the pillars of the NFL community, the symbol for hard work and clean living, the team player's team, the modest and humble onesin short, everything I've tried to stand for as a player,' Owens said, punctuating each word he spoke by forcefully striking the lectern with a custom-made, Swarovski-crystal bedecked 'T.O.' water bottle. 'How could Jerry Joneshow could the Cowboyshow could the NFLhow could God in Heaven let this happen to me? To me!' Owens then repeated the word 'Me!' at the top of his lungs roughly 20 times before bursting into tears and collapsing to the floor. 'I just think it's sad that I should have to put up with it, not to mention Tommy [sic] Rommell [sic], who tried so hard to throw me the ball last season, and the, the defense, the defensive, you know, players, and coach Coach Yeah, and Coach, too, and I. No one wants to deal with a guy who doesn't even know other people exist. Ask anyone, or better yet, ask me. I am not that guy.' Owens then indicated that he would take five questions from reporters, but became angry upon being asked if he thought Jones should have been banned from the NFL for life. 'I don't want to hear anyone talking bad about Jones,' Owens said, his voice breaking as tears streamed down his face. 'That's my teammate. That's my cornerback. Mine. Mine. Mine.' 
2	Students Accused Of Racism After Patriotic Chant At High School Basketball Game According to recent reports, it is now considered racist to chant USA! at sporting games. Or at least, such was the case for fans of one high school girls basketball team in Texas, who are now being accused of racism for repeatedly chanting USA, USA, USA! The Idalou High School fans were cheering their team on as they were playing Slaton High School. According to reports, Slaton High School has a primarily Hispanic basketball team. Now, the Superintendent Julee Becker of Slaton High School is speaking out against Idalou. I believe that we are a microcosm in schools of greater society, Becker told reporters. Thats what we are. The symptoms of racism, they run deep. I apologize to Slaton ISD and the chanting will not be allowed to continue at games because of the perception it creates, Idalou Superintendent Jim Waller responded in an apology. What do you think? Is this a complete overreaction to an innocent cheer? 
3	Harvard: Eating Healthy Costs $1.50 More Per Dayselfnews Post The study will be published online December 5, 2013 in BMJ (British Medical Journal) Open. People often say that healthier foods are more expensive, and that such costs strongly limit better diet habits, said lead author Mayuree Rao, a junior research fellow in the Department of Epidemiology at HSPH. But, until now, the scientific evidence for this idea has not been systematically evaluated, nor have the actual differences in cost been characterized. The researchers suggested that unhealthy diets may cost less because food policies have focused on the production of inexpensive, high volume commodities, which has led to a complex network of farming, storage, transportation, processing, manufacturing, and marketing capabilities that favor sales of highly processed food products for maximal industry profit. Given this reality, they said that creating a similar infrastructure to support production of healthier foods might help increase availabilityand reduce the pricesof more healthful diets. This research provides the most complete picture to-date on true cost differences of healthy diets, said Dariush Mozaffarian, the studys senior author and associate professor at HSPH and Harvard Medical School. While healthier diets did cost more, the difference was smaller than many people might have expected. Over the course of a year, $1.50/day more for eating a healthy diet would increase food costs for one person by about $550 per year. This would represent a real burden for some families, and we need policies to help offset these costs. On the other hand, this price difference is very small in comparison to the economic costs of diet-related chronic diseases, which would be dramatically reduced by healthy diets.

2	Obama Issues A Chilling Message About His Plan For Martial Law [VIDEO] Recently, a group of callers on Rush Limbaughs radio show stirred some serious controversy after bringing up one of President Obamas speeches, in which he claimed that the U.S. needed a civilian national security force. The topic is a timely one, especially given protests in cities like Ferguson and Baltimore. During the riots in Ferguson, Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the DOJ was preparing to issue new guidelines for the Ferguson police department to follow. That, of course, implied that the federal government would play a role in the day-to-day operations of a municipal police department. Some fear that the Obama administration may use the Baltimore protests and Freddie Fray to begin the official implementation of a national police program. Such a program would undeniably threaten the rights of American citizens. What do you think? Are you sick of the Obama administration interfering where they dont belong? 
2	Michelle Obama Is Asking For THIS Present For Her 51st Birthday As if we didnt already have enough to criticize the First Lady for, Michelle Obama recently announced what she would like for her 51st birthday. It doesnt seem like Michelle could ask for much. Shes already had just about any vacation anyone could ask for. Still, the First Lady had a surprising demand for her birthday from the American people. So what is this gift shes asking for? A donation to the Democratic Party of course. The Democratic Partys Twitter account has recently been asking followers to sign a birthday card for Michelle. When they arrive on the site, theyre asked to donate to the group. Is it just us, or does that seem like a tacky way to celebrate your birthday? 
3	TTIP: Current EU GMO Rules To Be Disregarded As EU Commission Caves In To US PressureBy Graham Vanbergen In essence, the European Commission has effectively deserted its principles when it comes to GMOs entering the food chain within the 28-nation bloc. Intense lobbying by United States representatives for the EU Commission to disregard current GMO rules which require stringent safety tests and labelling has proved successful. Theresult is that genetically modified organisms produced through a modifiedtechniquecalled gene editing will be allowed. Gene editing is all but the same as anything we understand about GMOs generally. Freedom of Information documents show that the scale of US lobbying has overwhelmed the EU Commission who now stand accused of bowing to US pressure and abdicating to the corporations and rejecting citizen concerns. The documents reveal that US representatives pushed for the EU to disregard its own GMO rules on the basis that the EU were simply putting up barriers and stifling trade under the proposed TTIP negotiations. The papers state that the EUshould completely ignore health and environmental safeguards to pave the way for successful negotiations. On the EC website the very first sentence reads: The European Union has established a legal framework to ensure that the development of modern biotechnology, and more specifically of GMOs, takes place in safe conditions. In the EUsGMO directive/2001/18the Directive clearly states: (clause 10) For a comprehensive and transparent legislative framework, it is necessary to ensure that the public is consulted by either the Commission or the Member States during the preparation of measures and that they are informed of the measures taken during the implementation of this Directive and (clause 19)A case-by-case environmental risk assessment should always be carried out prior to a release. It should also take due account of potential cumulative long-term effects associated with the interaction with other GMOs and the environment. In addition, the GMO Directive is quite clear on one thing (clause 23): No GMOs, as or in products, intended for deliberate release are to be considered for placing on the market without first having been subjected to satisfactory field testing at the research and development stage in ecosystems which could be affected by their use. Clearly noneof these clauses within the directive are going to be adhered to under the new TTIP regime. The EU Commission requested a legal opinion to be carried out, not an environmental impact report. Theres a difference. Here, the EU Commission has been able to establish legally that GMOs created through certain new techniques such as gene editing somehow makes them safe and therefore not subject to a high bar of scrutiny that previously existed. The opinion request was announced last year by the commission and that triggered an intense round of lobbying by the US. Originally the EU Commission had stated that this technique would be classified the same way as other GMOs, which the US representatives stated would be another blow to agriculture and technology. In its response, it is not overly surprising given the secretive nature of TTIP negotiations that the full text of the legal opinion has not been published; and, other than a leak, the publicwill not be given sight of it. Corporate Europe Observatory sent six Freedom of Information requests, none have revealed the information required. These new gene editing techniques are simply a way round current rules and as the documents show, the US was clearly unhappy with new breeding techniques requiring new rules and ominously stated that regulatory hurdles between governments would lead to potentially significant trade disruption in other words, they issued a threat. US companies are heavily involved in gene editing techniques including the use of ODM (oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis). For example, this includes a company called Cibus which acquired a herbicide-resistant oilseed rape engineered through this technique to the US market. Cibus then tried to bypass EU rules by lobbying the Commission to classify ODM as a non GMO. Dow Chemicals and DuPont, now merged to form DowDuPont have a big interest in the same techniques as revealed by recent patent applications. US corporationsare very used to having strong trade support from the US government who heavily pressure external entities such as sovereign states with companies such asMonsanto having GM soybeans pushed by the US trade department within the TTIP negotiations. In the US, genetically modified organisms are not routinely tested by a regulatory system and can even be produced and placed on the market for human or animal consumption without any form of testing whatsoever. In addition, there are no labelling laws that require these products to be identified in the US food chain. The US Food and Drug Administration, obviously acting on behalf of corporations even rejected large-scale citizen protest petitions for food labelling of GMOs. The aim of the corporations involved, supported by the US trade department, is to get to a position where no real testing regulations or food labelling systems or laws are present to protect or at least inform European citizens of what they are consuming. Officially there are now 38 countries that have fully banned the use of GMO foods. Twenty-eight of those nations reside within the European Union. Nations with strong anti-GMO laws are Belize, Peru, Ecuador and Venezuela in the Americas; Turkey, Bhutan, Saudi Arabia and Kyrgyzstan in Asia; Algeria and Madagascar in Africa.The picture on GM cultivation bans across Africa is not clear due to the current pressure being put on many African governments by the Biotech industry and the Gates Foundation to lift long-standing bans on the import of unmilled GMO seeds or unmilled GMO food aid. In addition,Russiahas not only banned the use of GMO foods but also banned any imports. Last year, Chinastarted allowing the use of GMO seeds and may well end up being a world leader in the field within a few years. You can read more from Graham Vanbergen at truepublica.org.uk No surprise that an unelected unaccountable commission caved to monied interests. I believe this article is a bit twisted around. It makes it sound as if Obama is the most powerful man in the world that he controls the EUhe isnt. The EUs creator is the Rothschild/Rockefeller/Warburg banking families. THEY are the most powerful entity in the world. Obama is just their lackey (along with Hillary and many other politicians). Bought and paid for to advance THEIR Fascist world control agenda. GMOs are just one of the ways the EU (Rothschild/Rockefeller/Warburg) is using to murder a few billion people, along with wars, poisoned vaccines, Chemtrails, poisoned meat, poisoned water or created droughts via HAARP. Saddly Monsatano is till in production. 
1	Baffled by Tim Duncan's unexpected sincerity in apologizing following a technical foul, NBA official Joey Crawford responded by issuing Duncan a second technical and ejecting him from the game. 'I don't know what the hell he was trying to pull with that gentle tone of voice and that attitude of heartfelt honesty, but I wasn't about to fall for it,' Crawford told reporters after being asked about reacting so strongly to Duncan's attempt at shaking hands and putting the incident behind them both. 'I'm pretty sure Duncan was really saying he wanted to punch me.' Following the game, Crawford was arrested for assault after attacking a concession-stand employee who gave him a free hot dog in what Crawford claims was an attempt to make him 'look cheap.'

3	Anti-Protest Drone Developed to Pepper Spray Unruly CrowdsBy Nicholas West While this is the first announcement that states an intention to imminently deploy this type of weaponry, it is not the first of its type; non-lethal weapons-equipped drones have been in development for quite some time and are a hairs breadth away from seeing action across the planet. The widespread acceptance of pepper spray a chemical weapon that is stated as such by the founder of the product has found its way into the hands of police and military the world over. As an increasing number of locations become flashpoints for unrest among worsening economic conditions and manufactured conflicts, the evolution of non-lethal weapons continues to be touted as a more humane way to address uprisings. The global drone arms race and the proliferation of non-lethal weapons creates a tempting integration of both technologies. The latest development is being spurred by South Africas largest strike since the Apartheid era. Platinum mine owners and unions have been in conflict for months, resulting in losses north of $1 Billion according to reports. Reports from the defense industry, however, conveniently ignore the socio-political and economic issues that might be resulting in legitimate protest. Rather, the workers in these clashes have been labeled simply as an unruly crowd which needs to be suppressed for the safety of security staff. The Riot Control Copters description doesnt sound like safety is its first priority; it sounds like punishment is. The Skunk is equipped with 4 high-capacity paint ball barrels firing at up to 20 bullets per second each, with 80 Pepper bullets per second stopping any crowd in The current hopper capacity of 4000 bullets and High Pressure Carbon Fiber Air system it allows for real stopping power. Bright strobe lights, blinding Lasers and with on-board speakers enables communication and warnings to the crowd. [emphasis added] (Source) The new weapon in crowd management was revealed at a security exhibition. Defence Web reports that this model of anti-protest drone will likely see action beyond the current conflict zone, while acknowledging the risk for abuse that such detachment from those on the ground could engender: A camera and microphone on the operators station records the operators (a pilot and payload operator) so their behaviour can be monitored. Hennie Kieser, Director of Desert Wolf, said people tend to be less aggressive when they are monitored. Kieser said Desert Wold will definitely export the Skunk into Africa, primarily for mining operations, and that South African success will lead to other orders. He felt the best market is not in South Africa because of the current legislation restricting drone use. I dont think theres anything like that in the world, Kieser told defenceWeb regarding the made in South Africa UAV. Desert Wolf also offers other UAVs, including the Mozzy, a multicopter for darting game. A live video link enables the operator to monitor the target animal. The company also offers the Wasp helicopter for day and night surveillance. [emphasis added] (Source) Actually, the merging of non-lethal weapons and drones is not exactly new. While there has been pushback, in 2012 it was announced that the Montgomery County Sheriffs Office near Houston, Texas would be acquiring a ShadowHawk surveillance drone. Police Chief Randy McDaniel was excited about other applications: On the topic of tacking a tear gas dispenser or a firearm that shoots non-lethal rubber bullets, McDaniel says it could eventually be an idea the department decides to go with. Those are things that law enforcement utilizes day in and day out and in certain situations it might be advantageous to have this type of system on the UAV. [emphasis added] (Source) In July of last year it emerged that the Department of Homeland Security U.S. border control was considering non-lethal weaponized drones used to immobilize people. The documents, obtained by the Electronic Frontier Foundation through a Freedom of Information Act request, show the CPB suggesting in a law enforcement sensitive report to Congress that its drones could be upgraded to include the weapons to shoot at targets of interest. The documents do not detail specific weapons, but non-lethal rounds deployed on drones could feasibly include rubber bullets, tear gas, or a Taser-like shock. [emphasis added] (Source) For now, such implementation has not happened, but when one sees the growing outrage over the current U.S. immigration crisis threatening to spiral completely out of control, might this be more easily embraced as a solution? Once the precedent is set, as it appears it will be in South Africa, there is only one direction where this can can lead. While the situation in South Africa is assuredly a complex one, if the use of weaponized drones and non-lethal weapons elsewhere is any guide, their use is likely to cause additional injuries, death and conflict, not less. And when that is part of the business model? It is all but guaranteed. Source: Recently by Nicholas West: 
3	Alternative to Establishment Foreign Policy PoliticsSARTRE, Contributor Essentially, both Democrat and Republican party elites are joined at the hip when it comes to protecting the military-industrial-security complex. The global interventionist foreign policy, that only protects the corporatists and banksters, endangers the unwashed citizens that are constantly used as cannon fodder. People should not be surprised, when blowback comes home to roost, as the result from such caustic imperial hegemony. The departure from our heritage is clear, when viewed from the historic wisdom of our inception as a country. The Case for an America First Foreign Policy by Ralph Raico, sums up well just how far down the rabbit hole the government descended. The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible. George Washingtons outlook thus involved three main principles. First, we would engage in mutually beneficial, peaceful commerce with the rest of the world, but forcing nothing, as Washington made a point of adding. Second, while trading with them, we would avoid entanglements in their political affairs and their quarrels with other nations. Finally, we would always remain strong enough to defend ourselves from attack. For background on Gary Johnson on his stand of the issues and a YouTube video, Gary Johnson Peace is cheaper. Gary Johnson on Foreign Policy, offers a short summary of his proposals. We can no longer afford to shell out billions in foreign aid Meanwhile, the federal government is spending us deeper and deeper into debt while we shell out billions in foreign aid we can no longer afford and trillions more for foreign wars in which our national interest is just not apparent to me. No foreign aid spending unless it protects U.S. interests Act in US self-interest, but wary of unintended consequences A: I think we should act in our self-interest. As I understand it, I think Eisenhower was a pretty good role model for that. Morally, you can justify almost anything we do by saying that were doing it for the sake of others. I would point to past realities that have unintended consequences. For example, by taking out [the secular regime in] Iraq, we removed a threat to [the religious totalitarian regime] Iran. Johnsons foreign policy viewpoints also include: Given trillion-dollar deficits, America simply cannot afford to be engaged in foreign policy programs that are not clearly protecting U.S. interests. There is nation-building and rebuilding to be done right here at home. Our military should remain the most potent force for good on Earth. To do this, we should resort to military action as the last option and only as provided in the Constitution. AMERICAN MILITARY ACTIVITIES IN AFGHANISTAN SHOULD END, our troops returned home, and the focus of our foreign policy reoriented toward the protection of U.S. citizens and interests. Decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union, American troops remain scattered throughout Europe. It is time to reevaluate these deployments. The U.S. must make better use of strategic alliances which allow greater sharing of the human and financial burdens at less cost of protecting national interests. AMERICA CAN ACHIEVE OUR FOREIGN POLICY GOALS without sacrificing American values. Individuals incarcerated unjustly by the U.S. should have the ability to seek compensation through the courts. Individuals detained by the U.S., whether it be at Guantanamo Bay or elsewhere, must be given due process via the courts or military tribunals, and must not be held indefinitely without regard to those fundamental processes. For background on Virgil Goode and details on his stand of the issues and a YouTube view, Constitution Party Candidate Virgil Goode, presents an alternative to the establishment party line. Virgil Goode on International Relations: Virgil Goode on Foreign Policy: Voted NO on reforming the UN by restricting US funding. Voted NO on keeping Cuba travel ban until political prisoners released. Voted YES on withholding $244M in UN Back Payments until US seat restored. Voted NO on $156M to IMF for 3rd-world debt reduction. Voted NO on Permanent Normal Trade Relations with China. Voted NO on $15.2 billion for foreign operations. Goode adopted the Republican Liberty Caucus Position Statement: Foreign aid is often more harmful than helpful and should be curtailed. US military personnel should always be under US command. Foreign policy directly affects the ability to defend ourselves from attack. Even so, the sacred internationalist cannon that a global garrison presence is required to defend our own soil is harebrained. Fighting foreign wars, police actions or pre-emptive strikes are wholly outside our own self-interests, for so called victory, never enhances our own existential security. Few will vote for Johnson or Goode for a myriad of reasons. Excluding the destructive mainstream brainwashing tenet that only a candidate from the two clone parties deserves your approval, one needs to ask why the American public continually accepts an interventionist foreign policy and turns their back on the wisdom of our first President, George Washington? What is in the militarist machismo mindset that claims that every overseas adventure is a just war or any foreign intrusion is justified by making the world safe for democracy? Ron Paul articulated the viable criteria for forcing nothing. Johnson favors making better use of strategic alliances, which is more conventional than Goodes position, which sees no sharing of command within alliances of US military personnel. Both candidates recognize that foreign aid and/or nation building are dubious violations of Washingtons great rule of conduct as little political connection as possible. On October 23, 2012, a Free and Equal Debate will engage third party candidates. While none will be sworn in as the next President, several may well have better ideas than the country will be compelled to experience under from the next version of an approved and selected establishment administration.

3	Treasonous Spying: Shoot the Messenger, Not the MonitorIs he who watches the watchers a hero or villain? A traitor or whistleblower? And do the watched even take notice? In true form, the regular fixtures of establishment media and Washington circles have come forward to demonize the most recent whistleblower, former National Security Administration (NSA) Contractor Edward Snowden, as well as journalist Glenn Greenwald who published Snowdens leaks. Together they reveal a program of massive, wholesale surveillance by the NSA of Americans Internet activities on every major platform available. Instead of focusing on the fact that warrantless wiretaps have continued since shortly after September 11 (if not prior to 9/11), as well as through web communications since (at a minimum) 2007, the story has been centered around the treason committed by Snowden, who the mainstream media has been quick to point out again and again is a mere high school dropout (although that didnt stop the NSA from paying him $200,000 a year as an NSA contractor). As with the Bradley Manning case, shooting the messenger has become sport. The much larger crimes of systematically violating Americas Bill of Rights and Constitution using new high tech powers never before held by government are glossed over by apologists, cynics and apathetics alike. Greenwald, an investigative journalist and one of the foremost critics of Americas unaccountable drone program, has been specifically targeted by NSA contractors including HBGary Federal in retaliation for Greenwalds support of Wikileaks covert government misdeed exposure. Now, in attempt to discredit Greenwalds work in bringing forward another whistleblower, Council on Foreign Relations member and obsessive gun control advocate Senator Dianne Feinstein and Rep. Mike Rogers, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, asserted that Greenwald did not understand the nature of the surveillance program, absurdly insisting that Americans privacy (somehow) remains intact. Rogers went so far as to claim that the NSA wasnt spying and denied that data mining was even possible, declaring with a straight face that a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court order was necessary to even retrieve information, and that even then, no names could be obtained through the data. Besides, a as in one, single, solitary terrorist plot was supposedly disrupted in the last few years through the NSA spy program. Watch the video: Apparently, the establishment has wagered that its television audience is dazed enough to actually believe that a $2 billion NSA spy hub was built in the desert merely to feel around in the dark and grasp at straws in the hopes of stopping a terrorist, while the cutesy civil liberties of the American people are safely locked away in a security box. Obviously, such a nave and unconcerned audience where it exists is under the impression that technologically adverse terrorists in a foreign land hate our freedoms more than the power hungry technocrats whove taken control of our present system of Western culture. Are we witnessing an expansive data mining protective bubble that will safeguard against evildoers, or the infiltration of a free system by the worlds first high-tech super-tyranny, albeit wearing a subtle and often velvet-lined mask?

3	400,000 People Just Had Their Pensions Cut By 50%: Going to Happen To The Rest Of Pensions in the United StatesBy Mac Slavo Of course, most Americans were either not paying attention or completely ignored the ramifications of the new rules set forth by their government because, well, anyone who talks about the potential for a collapse of pension funds or the economy is, as President Barack Obama so eloquently noted in his recent State of the Union Speech, peddling fiction. Except in October of last year the canary in the coal mine fell over and died when Illinois announced that the State waspostponing pension payments because itran out of money. Fast forward a few more months and things have been taken to the next level. The Central State pension fund in Kansas became the first such fund to take advantage of the 2014 law as 400,000 Americans who depend ontheir monthly pension income to pay for such things as their mortgage, groceries and medical expenses saw an average of $1,400 per month sliced of their monthly benefits. Dale Dorsey isnt happy. After working 33 years, hes facing a 55% cut to his pension benefits, a blow which he says will cripple his family and imperil the livelihood of his two children, one of whom is in the fourth grade and one of whom is just entering high school. Dorsey attended a town hall meeting in Kansas City on Tuesday where retirees turned out for a discussion on massive pension cuts proposed by the Central States Pension Fund, which covers 400,000 participants, and which will almost certainly go broke within the next decade. A controversial 2014 law allowed the pension to propose [deep] cuts, many of them by half or more, as a way to perhaps save the fund, The Kansas City Star wrote earlier this week adding that two much smaller pensions also have sought similar relief under the law, and still more pensions are significantly underfunded. Whats happening to us is a microcosm of whats going to happen to the rest of the pensions in the United States. It was all fun and games during the boom times when governments and companies promised pensioners exorbitant retirements based on an unlimited growth rate model. Now reality is setting in. And keep in mind that this is just the first part of the coming retirement fund destruction. As we noted above, the Supreme Court ruling gives the government the right to step in and seize these underperforming funds. So, the first step is to give pension funds the ability to cut benefits, which we are seeing now and will continue to see going forward as funds all over the country struggle to keep the benefits flowing. Next, the government will identify these funds as under-performing and mismanaged, at which point they willoutright seize the entire industry just as they did with health care. The pain is coming, America. Youd better be prepared to deal with the fallout. Image Credit You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com Well maybe if the government takes the pensions over, they will supply the capital needed to continue paying out benefits. They government certainly did that with Wall Street and the banks! Why should I as a taxpayer have to pay for someone elses pension when I dont have one of my own. taxation without representation Because the government took over someone elses pension, thats why? If they leave it alone, then OK. If they take it over then they are responsible for it. I would sure rather have my tax dollars going to pensioners than to banks! If you want the government to do the right thing instead of just stealing money from you, then you must overthrow the government. All governments are, and always will be in the buisiness of stealing money from citizens. It will never change. @Croco_Dile:disqus I am waiting on the day.this government has been way too overbearing in it use of power since 9/11 Worked 33 years, has a teen a 10 year old he is retired??? Where is his sense of responsibility ( if he wasnt forced into it ). How old? 50? Right , I will work work 47 years and most likely be forced to continue after that Maybe he retired because he was entitled to do it. It was a deferred payment of his employment. Maybe he got another job and is not truly retired in that sense. But really he was promised for work performed his pension. He assumed he would have this income guaranteed. Why is he irresponsible? Meanwhile we had overpaid bankers and execs bailed out so they could keep on being paid millions for doing nothing useful. Illinois announced that the State was postponing pension payments because it ran out of money. Thats Republicans running government like a business; steal the money out of it and bankrupt it. It was under the Democrat Clinton administration the Glass Steagall Act was repealed engineering the bubble that lead to the worlds largest heist and power grab in 2008. Political RINOs and DINOs have been pumping both private and govt Ponzi schemes for generations at the behest of their masters and they knew eventually the scams would eventually collapse under their own weight which is exactly why over a decade ago Congressional committees wrote proposals to confiscate all pensions, 401Ks and anything else they can get their paws on to redistribute whats left. The national debt is another example of both political parties pushing a paradigm that they know will collapse and Americans never demanded true fiscal responsibility. It aint the Republicans orchestrating the big show, its the usual suspects, the politicos handlers, who also are behind new policies instituting negative interest rates, capital controls, and bank bail-ins (like Cyprus). Sooner or later, they expect everyone to bend over. Its open season on American citizens. The 1%s assault is bipartisan, but the Republicans are more rabid about it. The Democrats also play a major role in the class war. The Democratic Party has brought us: Free-trade laws that send American jobs to low-wage countries, trying to end net neutrality, no single-payer health care, trying to help the Republicans cut Social Security, refusing to prosecute the biggest financial criminals in the history of the world, claiming the right to execute US citizens on foreign soil without charging, trying, or even attempting to apprehend them, unlabeled GMO frankenfoods in our supermarkets, the NSA wiretapping all our phone and email communications, allowing the military to arrest U.S. citizens without charges and detain them indefinitely, agreeing with the Republicans to do nothing about homelessness while squandering hundreds of billions on the military, persecuting marijuana users, overturning Glass-Steagall which allowed banksters to gamble with OUR money, more nuclear power plants, brutally assaulting peaceful Occupy protesters with militarized police, agreeing with the Republican goal of endless war, jailing government whistleblowers as spies, no prosecutions of the Bush-Administration torturers, allowing the pharmaceutical corporations to gouge us, and ending welfare for starving people. And now, the TPP. This party isnt on our side. My votes and donations go to Bernie Sanders and the Green Party. Great rap sheet, you got it right. Keep in mind, the office of POTUS is only ceremonial, even Chomsky fully admitted that long ago. Real change will have to come from the bottom up, not top down, which is EXACTLY what Ralph Nader concluded several years ago. Nader knows, he gave us the Freedom of Information Act and was the most effective activist reformer in American history. He called out the leadership of both parties as Fascist Stooges and was vilified for doing so, esp. by the Dems. Now we entering the Panopticon, there will be no political saviors. Whatever Bernies true loyalities are cannot be fully known as yet. However, he kowtowed to the top of the pyramid, the bankers, when he watered down an Audit The Fed bill making it virtually useless. His Wall Street Tax proposal echoes Peolosis 2009 Trojan global financial transaction tax proposal spearheaded by the Trilateral Commission to institute a global tax on the road to global governance. Cindy Sheehan has explained how Bernies voting record has supported the military industrial complex. Whether you vote for Bernie or not, dont let your guard down and consider putting some of your energy and resources into waking up the public to the nature of the Matrix to reject TPTBs totalitarian tip toe into a global techno feudal prison. BTW, Ralph Nader: An Unreasonable Man is a great documentary. In the movie, we are shown that in his bid for POTUS, Nader is literally kicked out of the presidential debates, not even allowed to view the puppet show as a member of the audience despite having been given a legitimate ticket for a seat from a supporter. Anyone who truly challenges the Establishment agenda is not allowed into the Big Tent. JFK taught us that and the system has become more entrenched since then. Eisenhower not only warned us of the rise of military industrial complex, but in the same speech, he warned also of the rise of a [totalitarian] technocratic elite facets of the same control grid owned and controlled by the banksters. The GOP has had zero power in Illinois for decades. The pension disaster in Illinois belongs ENTIRELY to the Democrats, who believed they could guarantee lifetime pension payments to unskilled hack state workers who produced nothing and contributed no valuebecause tax money would always be there. Until one day it wasnt. Former state workers receiving pensions should keep in mind: the current state workers are the only ones the unions care about, because theyre the ones who can vote in union elections. So the state legislatures, and the unions, will destroy you in the end and leave you with *nothing* before they cut one box of post-its from what current state workers get.

3	Saudi Arabia Bombs Second Doctors Without Borders HospitalBy Derrick Broze Doctors Without Borders said the center was bombed twice, forcing the evacuation of staff members and critically wounded patients and resulting in the collapse of the building. Hassan Boucenine, a Doctors Without Borders spokesman in Yemen, told the NY Times the organization had given the health centers coordinates to the military coalition six months ago and reconfirmed the coordinates on a monthly basis. In early October a hospital in northern Afghanistan operated by Doctors Without Borders also suffered an attack from U.S.-led coalition forces. Twenty-two people were killed in the bombing, including 12 hospital staffers. Three of the deaths have been reported as children in the intensive care unit. The bombing, which took place at a hospital in the city of Kunduz, was reportedly requested by Afghan military officers who were under fire from Taliban forces. Officials speaking on condition of anonymity told the AP that the U.S. responded to the request by firing from an AC-130 gunship. However, U.S. Secretary of Defense Ash Carter would not confirm whether the gunship actually destroyed the hospital. Most Americans remain unaware that the U.S. military is supporting Saudi Arabias war in Yemen, resulting in the deaths of innocent civilians. In April journalist Ben Swann reported on the situation in Yemen: Hundreds of Yemeni civilians have found themselves in the crossfire of the Saudi-led bombing campaign that is in its second month, while Yemeni-Americans watch in desperation at the brutality taking place. The Saudis are bombing the largest cities in Yemen in an attempt to destroy gains made by Houthi rebels who are overthrowing the government of Yemen. The Saudis claim that the Houthis are a proxy force fighting on behalf of Iran, even though the Houthis are a native tribal group from Yemen. Since March 26, 2015, more than 750 Yemenis have been killed by Saudi airstrikes, over 2,500 have been injured and more than 150,000 people have been displaced. None of that reflects the incredible destruction to the nations infrastructure as more than 12 million Yemen.

2	Chris Kyles Wife Wore THIS To The Trial Of Her Husbands Killer... The media has been covering the trial of Chris Kyles killer, giving the public small glimpses into the story of justice for the American Hero. Just days into the trial, Kyles widow Taya is demonstrating that she has an incredible amount of strength and bravery as well, just like her husband. On Wednesday, Taya walked into the courtroom wearing Kyles dog tags and a Rolex submariner. The action served as a tribute to her husband and his memory, but shocked some attendees. Im sorry, Im just emotional, Taya said as she testified on the witness stand. She then described the last time she had a chance to talk to Chris. I said Are you okay? He said, Yep. And thats not common for him. I could tell something was up and he was just quiet. I will miss him every single day of my life, Taya concluded. I was madly in love with him and still am. I miss him so much. 
3	MSM Attempts To Promote White Helmets While Hiding Syria Civil Defense - More Fake News From Corporate PressBy Brandon Turbeville Despite the failure to award the White Helmets with the Nobel Peace Prize and the pathetic propaganda film that accompanied the run-up to the decision, there remains a continued effort to not only promote the White Helmets as being a humanitarian organization and hide their actual terroristic nature, but also to conceal the real humanitarian heroes in Syria, the Syria Civil Defense. Indeed, if one searches the Web for Syria Civil Defense, he will be met with links to a White Helmets website operating under the domain of SyriaCivilDefense.org. Wikipedia also lists the Syria Civil Defense as aka the White Helmets. It is, of course, a necessity for the NATO powers to erase the real Syria Civil Defense and replace them with the White Helmets so that the corporate outlets information sourcing can come from a respected humanitarian organization whenever false claims leveled against the Syrian government. Propaganda sounds so much better when it comes from selfless, humanitarian, rescue operations. Vanessa Beeley, the researcher who has ripped off the mask of the White Helmets numerous times before and who may be the person most responsible for preventing the terrorist support group from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, describes the real Syria Civil Defense in the following way: The REAL Syria Civil Defence was established as an organisation, in 1953, some 63 years before the White Helmets were a glimmer in the eyes of CIA and MI6 operatives. The REAL Syria Civil Defence is a founding member of the ICDO (International Civil Defence Organisation). Other ICDO partners include the UN Department of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Secretarian of the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR), International Search and Rescue Advisory Group (INSARAG), World Health Organisation (WHO), United Nations of Geneva (UNOG), Red Cross and the Red Crescent. To our knowledge and according to the Head Quarters of the REAL Syria Civil Defence in Damascus, the White Helmets are NOT a member of the ICDO. The REAL Syria White Helmets have received awards for their participation in the training of other member states in USAR (Urban Search and Rescue) and for their contributions to the Civil Defence community, prior to the NATO dirty war on Syria that began in earnest, in 2011. Later in Part II, we will go into further detail regarding this affiliation with the ICDO and the role the REAL Syria Civil Defence has played in global civil defence developments for the last 63 years which is tremendous, and something the White Helmets could never lay claim to in reality, despite all the superficial accolades being rained down upon them by the US and NATO fueled organisations, foundations and cosmetic award bodies. This is an introduction to the unsung heroes who, unlike the counterfeit White Helmets, do truly risk their lives every day, working not only in government controlled areas, but forging deep into terrorist strongholds to rescue civilians living under the brutal US-NATO-backed terrorist siege and occupation that engulfs all of Syria. When Syrian civilians are at risk, injured, or buried under the rubble of homes, schools and hospitals destroyed by terrorist mortar showers, its not Le Mesuriers White Helmets who rush to their aid its the REAL Syria Civil Defence, a real civic organization who, up until the publication of this article, have never been mentioned by any western media outlets. Beeley traveled to Syria in 2016 in order to get a firsthand feel for the situation on the ground and to investigate the Syria Civil Defense/White Helmet issue. She traveled all over the country, most notably in Aleppo and Damascus, the latter city being the headquarters of the real Syria Civil Defense. She, along with journalist Eva Bartlett, was able to interview members of the SCD and inspect the organizations equipment and facilities. Beeley writes, On the 15th of August, I entered the work yard of Aleppos REAL Syria Civil Defence and was greeted by an exhausted team of about fifteen crew-members. That morning from 11am until around 3 pm, just before our visit, they had been fighting a fire in a cement and plastics factory which had been ignited by Al Nusra Front mortar fire. They were understandably wary, but they still gathered around us (my colleague and independent journalist, Eva Bartlett and our translator) in the searing arid summer heat. Over the course of this 5 years and 6 months of this dirty war against Syria, not one western media journalist had ever asked to speak to them. This extraordinary omission and failure to follow the most rudimentary journalist text book rules by the western media is staggering, but hardly surprising considering the level of spin and propaganda employed daily by the likes of the BBC, CNN, FOX News, The Guardian, New York Times, and Washington Post. Sadly, western media lap dogs end up simply wagging their tails to their masters voice and turning somersaults with the truth to merit reward. Unfortunately for the Syrian people, western pundits have only reported on crucial and pivotal events in the war on Syria based largely on evidence supplied by the US-UK-NATO construct, the White Helmets, who are ensconsed only in Al Nusra Front aka Al Qaeda and ISIS held areas. I explained in detail, why I had come to talk with them, that my objective was to find out who were the real heroes inside Syria, the multi million NATO funded White Helmets created in 2013 or the Syrian Syria Civil Defence established in 1953. Aleppos REAL Syria Civil Defence informed us there are 150 volunteers working across all units in Aleppo, the headquarters are in the Hamadaniya area which is one of the most severely targeted civilian areas, by Al Nusra Front Hell Cannon mortar fire and explosive bullets. The volunteers ages range between 25-45 years old, and the minimum age for training is 18. All members of the crew were genuine volunteers. They spoke proudly of the intensive training process they undergo before they can be accepted into the unit. They are fully trained in urban search and rescue techniques (USAR). They are also fully qualified paramedics. A glance around their yard revealed that their equipment is tired and worn. The fire trucks were gleaming in the sun but showed signs of heavy use. Tattered jackets hung from the fenders and wing mirrors of the trucks and a Syrian flag had been draped across the radiator of one truck, perhaps in honour of our visit. She adds, The West Aleppo crew is forced to attend missions without the standard issue equipment and to deal with situations like chemical weapons attacks with only the ineffectual paper breathing masks. This is another result of the EU-US sanctions being enforced against Syria, and effectively against the Syrian people. The REAL Syria Civil Defence is unable to replace equipment or replenish supplies, unlike the NATO White Helmets who enjoy an endless stream of kit and replacement materials via the Turkey supply chain that has remained unbroken for much of the four years that Aleppo has been under terrorist siege. Beeleys article, The REAL Syria Civil Defence Exposes Fake White Helmets As Terrorist-Linked Imposters, details firsthand accounts of SCD volunteers risking (and sometimes losing) their lives in order to save the lives of civilians. The article also details stories from volunteers regarding the horrific aftermath of terrorist hell cannons, missiles, and other indiscriminate strikes against civilian areas. I would highly recommend reading the entirety of Beeleys article. When Beeley asked the volunteers their opinions on the White Helmets, an image was painted that appears much different from the fantasy portrayed by Western media and Hollywood film sets as well as the Nobel Prize committee. She writes, When we got on to the subject of NATOs White Helmets, the West Aleppo REAL Syrian Civil Defence crew became animated. One of them, stepped forward and began to talk excitedly to our translator. He had been stationed in East Aleppo at a REAL Syrian Civil Defence unit based in an area that has since been overrun by Al Nusra Front and their associate terrorist gangs. Again, we are unable, as we have said, to provide names of the men we spoke with. They are prime targets for the Al Nusra Front and company in East Aleppo. This crew member, lets call him Khaled, described what happened when the terrorists (western media still call them opposition or moderate rebels) started to invade East Aleppo in 2012. They came in and they drove us out of our homes and they came to the Syria Civil Defence yard and they killed some of my comrades, they kidnapped others. They wanted to force me to work with them. I escaped at night. I was forced to leave my teenage sons behind. They burned my house to the ground and they put my name on all the terrorist checkpoints so if I go back, they will kill me. Khaled went on to explain how those men who later became the White Helmets were among this first wave of terrorists: They are terrorists, not rescuers. They stole our ambulances and three of our fire engines. They dont do any rescue work. They drive round with guns in the back of their car like any other terrorist. Some are from East Aleppo, some are from Syria but not from Aleppo and some are even coming in from abroad. Granted, this might come as a shock to anyone who has already bought into the public relations image of the group thats already been developed over three years by various agencies in New York, Washington DC and London, but these are the real accounts regarding what one might say is the true unmasked nature of the wests White Helmets. Beeley also writes that the volunteers of the SCD had a chance to view some of the White Helmets rescue videos and found a number of oddities if the White Helmets were truly rescuing trapped civilians or even simply retrieving bodies. Beeley continues, At this point other crew members interjected and told me that they had watched the White Helmet rescue videos. They are fake. They dont carry out any correct procedures, either as paramedics or as search and rescue experts. They described how the White Helmets use a heavy-duty power drill to dig down for civilians buried under the rubble of homes allegedly targeted by Syrian or Russian airstrikes. Its the wrong equipment to use. It is not sensitive enough and because it vibrates powerfully, it can displace the rubble which is dangerous if anyone is genuinely buried beneath it. They went on to describe other aspects of the White Helmet videos that they believe contravene all standard procedures that are followed by genuine search and rescue experts, paramedics and first responders. In the following very recent video made by a White Helmet camera crew, men pretending to be genuine rescuers attack an area of rubble where they seem to know where a body buried. They start with a mint condition JCB digger, which attacks the heap of rubble with gusto. Then, alarmingly, they begin to pound the rubble with a heavy duty mallet without employing any devices to actually determine where the body is located, under the impenetrable concrete blocks. Finally, the JCB digger returns to the mound of rubble and enters the teeth of its bucket into the rubble without any hesitation, surely not standard procedure if there is a chance of a body being under the debris. Miraculously, as with all White Helmet videos, they seem to find exactly where the bodies are, despite having displaced the majority of the rubble in the process. They also, miraculously, avoided staving in the first bodys head with the mallet. There is no intention to downplay or belittle the deaths that have obviously occurred but we do ask the questions: 1. How did the White Helmets know the bodies would be exactly where they found them? 2. Where is this rescue being filmed? 3. selfnewss, citizen journalists, the White Helmets and western media would have us believe that East Aleppo is under almost constant Russian or Syrian aerial attack yet the White Helmets make, on average, 4 or 5 films per day and we never see or hear any sign of an attack, only the aftermath. 4. Where do these bodies come from? Are they victims of air strikes as we are told by these NATO funded activists and first responders or are they taken from among the thousands of disappeared that have been kidnapped by Nusra Front and other terrorist gangs in East Aleppo? Are they gruesome props being used inhumanely, to polish the image of this faux NGO embedded in East Aleppo, HQ for Al Nusra Front. Indeed, upon my own travels to the Middle East, I spoke with Syrians (not volunteers with the SCD) who had similar questions about White Helmets rescues. How do they always know right where to find the bodies? How do they not kill living victims or damage dead bodies with the equipment they are using in the videos? Why are they always videotaped? These were all questions the individuals that I spoke with were asking about the White Helmets. Another issue was the extraordinary budget this group receives from the U.K. and the U.S., a budget that is more akin to a military coffer than a humanitarian one. Beeley went further, however, and met with the real Aleppo Medical Association. She asked them about the White Helmets and the alleged work they do in East Aleppo (they only operate in terrorist-held territory). Interestingly enough, according to Dr. Bassem Hayak, the man in charge of the medical teams that assess civilians fleeing East Aleppo to West Aleppo, stated that the White Helmets are unknown to civilians in East Aleppo. Beeley writes, One of the other meetings we had during our time in Aleppo, was with the Aleppo Medical Association. We met with the Director, Dr Zahar Buttal and Dr Bassem Hayak, who is in charge of the medical teams assessing refugees from East Aleppo who fled to West Aleppo via the Russian and Syrian state humanitarian corridors, created on the 29th July, which have allowed over 2000 people to escape the terrorist strongholds to safety, food and medical care in government-protected West Aleppo. These figures were given to us by the Aleppo Medical Association on the 15th August 2016. One of the questions I asked Dr Hayak, who spoke good English, was what he knew of the White Helmets. His response was concise and without preamble. His family is still in East Aleppo and although he has not been able to get back into East Aleppo for the last year, his family have told him that the White Helmets are not known in East Aleppo. I asked again to be sure, and was told again, people, civilians do not know of the White Helmets in East Aleppo. Any actual first response work is carried out by foreign workers from various countries, Pakistan and the Gulf region among them. These foreigners work with Syrian people who are not properly trained in first response. They might only receive 2 or 3 months training before being allowed to work. Dr Hayak says, Even with our relationship with WHO (World Health Organisation) and the UN, we still didnt hear about the White Helmets. Are the White Helmets, NATO ghosts? Dr Hayak also states quite clearly, he has a cousin, working as a surgeon in East Aleppo. ISIS and other terrorist factions have forced her to stay in East Aleppo by threatening to kill her family, should she leave for West Aleppo. Dr Hayak also said that the majority of civilians in East Aleppo are hostagesof the NATO/US allied terrorists. In East Aleppo, civilians living under Al Nusra Front occupation, do not know the White Helmets. It is possible to view her interview with Dr. Hayak here: With all of the above information taken together, White Helmets should be considered nothing more than a terrorist rescue operation and propaganda wing for al-Nusra Front. This organization is wholly funded, directed, and promoted by Western governments, intelligence agencies and Foundations for the purposes of assisting Western-backed terrorists in destroying secular Syria and replacing it with a collection of impotent religious/ethnicity-based petty squabbling microstates and mini-states. The organization serves as a clever and opportunistic tool to be used by Western media for the purposes of sourcing false claims from impartial activist groups on the ground in Syria and giving the claims the source and credibility of a human rights organization. Clearly, whatever claims are made by the White Helmets should be immediately dismissed as yet another false statement in a long string of lies easily traced directly back to the United States and the UK.

Image Credit I suppose that the next thing you will be telling us is that the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is not an Observatory. The propaganda machine of the goat worshipers is irrelevant. The White Helmets IS a humanitarian organization. The terrorist nature comes from its infiltration of terrorists from agencies and governments and globalists who want to destroy the Syria Civil Defense and to replace it with a White Helmet terrorists that they fully control and use for their own purposes. This keeps the chaos going which is the goal of the New World Order corporate elite. Chaos produces war which costs the government more money than they have and in come the money lenders who make loans (most often by bribing the countrys leaders, or lying to them like they did with Greece) they know the country cannot pay back. Then they make deals for ownership of the countrys resources. They dont even want to the loan to be paid in full; they want to keep it on the books until theyve raped the country of all its resources and when they do, they then come in and tell the government they must collect its debt from the people. The people are then thrown into severe austerity where they can be easily controlled and the NWO moves onto the next country. This is what has happened all around the world, country after country losing their resources while amassing great debt. Theres more its evil and insidious, but its happening.

3	TPP: Internet Freedom Activists Protest Secret Trade Agreement Being Negotiated This WeekMaira Sutton The TPP is a secretive plurilateral1 agreement that includes provisions dealing with intellectual property, including online copyright enforcement, anti-circumvention measures, and Internet intermediary liability. Due to the secrecy of the negotiations, we do not know what is in the current version of the TPPs IP chapter; the general public has only seen a leaked February 2011 version of the U.S. IP chapter proposal [pdf]. Based on the one-sided nature of the groups directly involved, and the content of what has already leaked, we should all be concerned about the prospect of the TPP including provisions that will harm online expression, privacy and innovation on the Internet. There has been a big push to raise global awareness of the TPP as the latest round of negotiations kicked off last week. Public Citizen released a parodic video criticizing the secrecy surrounding the process. On Saturday, more than 500 hundred people held a rally and marched to the Dallas Intercontinental Hotel where negotiations are underway behind closed doors. People gathered there to explain their concerns with the leaked TPP provision on Internet freedom, access to educational materials, access to affordable medicines and national sovereignty over public health policy, and impacts on labor and the environment. This time around though, there was no official stakeholder forum. Stakeholders who registered to attend were instead given the opportunity to register to stand at a table for several hours at a Stakeholder Direct Engagement Event on Saturday, whereby they could explain their concerns to negotiators and other stakeholders present. This was an optional event for the TPP negotiators on their half-day off from negotiations. Since the official planned event was scarcely sufficient to make a significant impact, Public Knowledge and American Universitys Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Propertyco-hosted a side event for negotiators to learn about the threats of harsh copyright enforcement. The panel included EFFs International IP Director, Gwen Hinze, who spoke about the unbalanced outcomes non-U.S. Internet users and innovators would face if the current version of the IP chapter were passed. While the event was well-attended, civil society were ultimately forced to bear all the costs to put on this event. Last week, 32 legal scholars sent a letter to the office of the USTR demanding transparency in the process. Including the release of the text and demand for real participation from civil society, they demanded the immediate release of reports on US positions and proposals on intellectual property matters that are currently given only to Industry Trade Advisory Committee members under confidentiality agreements. This is key because there is nothing that could justify the withholding of such reports that simply outline the U.S. position on intellectual property from the public. This is especially true given the fact that the U.S. governments proposals could impede Congress from engaging in domestic legal reform of legislation regulating IP. The USTR sent them a preliminary response the following day. Ambassador Kirk essentially blew them off, claiming that they have taken extraordinary efforts to have the whole negotiation process inclusive of civil society and the public. In the letter, he compared the level of transparency to Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) meetings, which indeed have always been top secret and therefore offer a laughably low bar of comparison. International venues such as the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) already exist to address issues regarding the Internet and intellectual property. Like ACTA, TPP is being negotiated as a plurilateral agreement with a handful of like-minded countries outside of the checks and balances of such multilateral institutions. The U.S. Trade Representatives office recognizes that it could never obtain international agreement from the 182 member countries of WIPO to many of the proposals in TPP. Initiatives like the TPP allow the content industry to work within privileged channels of communication with the USTR to skirt open democratic processes that would likely prevent them from getting the IP regulations of their dreams. The content industry can and will continue to buy and lie to get their way to an agreement that protects their interests, and what they want more than anything is for us to remain passively ignorant. If we do, they will continue to negotiate plurilateral agreements like TPP, ACTA, and the failed Free Trade Area of the Americas Agreement. These agreements will unquestionably chill online expression, prevent access to knowledge, and impede our freedom to innovate. The way to fight back is to make our voice heard: to demand an open transparent process that allows everyone, from experts to civil society members, to analyze, question, and probe any initiatives to regulate the Internet. The secrecy must be stopped once and for all. Use the hashtag #TPP and #TPPA to keep talking and raising awareness on the agreement on Twitter.

The information was revealed in a letter to President Obama. The officials reportedly are elected sheriffs in Colorado, who are currently working to make a case against Obamas plan to transfer terrorist from Guantanamo Bay to facilities in the state. The group of law enforcement took action after two federal prisons in Florence were reviewed for the potential transfer. Officials are concerned that Obamas plan leaves one major question unanswered: what is he going to do with the most dangerous terrorists in the world who are currently at the prison? The administration has reportedly considered Kansas and South Carolina as potential transfer states. Watch the video below and tell us what you think: is Obama completely insane?

3	NYPD arrests, detains couple for 23 hours for dancing while waiting for the subwayMadison Ruppert, Contributor Interestingly, this case seems to also bring in the fascinating and troubling trend of police arresting people (and in at least one case even brutally assaulting someone) simply for exercising their right to film officers in a public place performing their public duties. This particular incident which actually occurred last July but is just now being brought up in a lawsuit involves a couple, 55-year-old Caroline Stern and 54-year-old George Hess, who were allegedly dancing on the empty Columbus Circle subway platform in New York City after listening to jazz at Lincoln Center. No, this isnt quite like the people who were arrested for dancing in Washington D.C. at the Jefferson Memorial, as this was in no way an act of civil disobedience or protest. It was just dancing. According to Fox News Insider, the couple was arrested for impeding the flow of traffic because they were dancing while waiting on the subway to arrive shortly before midnight. We were doing the Charleston, said Stern, recalling the events after last Julys Jazz at Lincoln Centers Midsummer Nights Swing. Police officers then approached the dancing couple and informed them that they were not allowed to dance on the subway platform. They said, What are you doing? and we said, Were dancing, she recalled, according to the New York Post. And they said, You cant do that on the platform. Officers then asked for identification from the couple, but when the woman was only able to show them her credit card with her photograph and signature, the police detained them. In Foxs video coverage of this incident, they stated that one of the couple taking out their phone to record the encounter with police is the incident which actually sparked the arrest which led to a whopping 23 hours in police custody. We brought out the camera, and thats when they called backup, Stern said. Thats when eight ninja cops came from out of nowhere. Hess alleges that he was tackled to the floor of the subway platform by the police and that they both were handcuffed and initially charged with disorderly conduct for allegedly impeding the flow of traffic. Stern disputes the allegation of impeding the flow of traffic, saying, There was nobody on the platform. There were, like, three people. Unsurprisingly, the charges which even allegedly include resisting arrest were later dropped by the police. This hasnt stopped Stern and Hess from fighting back. They recently filed a lawsuit in Manhattan federal court against the city for damages which are not specified. Im a dentist, and Im 55, and I got arrested for dancing, Stern told the New York Post. It was absolutely ridiculous that this happened. She also cited the absurdity of the fact that the musician was legally playing there and yet they were arrested for dancing to the music. If you are surrounded by good musicians, thats going to make you want to dance, Stern said. The musician who is playing is legal, but were illegal? When youre waiting for the subway late at night, theres not much to do but dance and celebrate life, she added. Currently, the New York City Law Department is reviewing the papers filed by the couple, according to a spokeswoman. Personally, I just see this as yet another example of the nanny state gone completely insane. To be perfectly honest, I dont find this type of absurdity to be all that surprising in New York City where there is an outdoor smoking ban, soda ban, trans fat ban, a ban on giving food to the homeless and even an attempt to ban salt.

2	What Michelle Obama Was Caught Doing At Nancy Reagans Funeral Will Make You SICK This week, Americans throughout the country mourned the death of Nancy Reagan. The iconic First Lady and devoted wife of Ronald Reagan passed away suddenly at the age of 94. World leaders were quick to speak up in honor of the former first lady, but as usual, the Obamas were noticeably silent. In fact, it wasnt until after they were publicly criticized that the Obamas decided to say anything at all. In a desperate attempt to save face, the White House announced that Michelle Obama would be attending Nancys funeral in California. Of course, the undisclosed fact in that message was that President Obama would not be attending. Instead, he will be busy making an appearance at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. First Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, and now this. One thing is for certain, the Obamas have very little respect for anyone who is not a liberal leader. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous? 
3	Agenda 21: How Globalist Domination Happens on a Local LevelSusanne Posel, Contributor The non-governmental organization (NGO) The Wildlands Project (WP) is a focusing of the American landscape in preservation for future generations to inherit a continent rich in wildlife, with plenty of room for all species to roam. This does not necessarily mean that there will be room for humans, as we are seeing massive areas of land being placed under restrictions called conservation easements, scenic byways, protected areas, biosphere reserves, wildlife refuges, etc. The names are varied and plentiful, but the result is always the same: More government control; less human freedom. The WP claims we are experiencing the Sixth Great Extinction because of human population growth, climate change, resource extraction, new recreational technologies, habitat fragmentation. Since humanity is not a highly interactive species (meaning species whose presence maintains the balance of other plant and animal species with the habitat they share) we are running out of room to share with nature. The wildways are constructed by protecting core areas connected to one another by corridors or linkages. They are essentially mosaics of connected public and private lands that provide habitat and safe passageways for wildlife to travel freely from place to place. In the January 2012 Review of Implementation of Agenda 21 and the Rio Principles details the progress the UN has had on their Agenda 21 policies on the local and national levels. Under the World Trade Organization (WTO) the UN has seen major advances in the developing countries (i.e. Africa, India, Southeast Asia) where they have embraced the reforms of the WTO regime where global import tariffs have been used as protective measures since 1995. National subsidies have turned agricultural commodities over to the global Elite International cooperation and recognition of the UNs superiority in the implementation of their schemes. Through the World Bank (WB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the manipulation of the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI) uses reinvested funds that are dumped into UN approved public service programs, healthcare and education. According to research from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) the issues caused by man-made climate change and its impact on the environment cannot be resolved by a single country or member of academia, but through the IIASA and the UN the securitization of energy on a national level can be reworked to reflect Agenda 21 Sustainable Development. IIASA research has turned up a strategic plan that: Research focuses on the transformational nature of the modern world. IIASA is one of the foundations of the global transformation of local communities to reflect Agenda 21. One way Agenda 21 is manifesting right now is in Transition Towns. Under the Transition Model, global relocalization agendas are forefront. The dangers that Transition Towns impose on our sovereignty and individuality are: The European Union has adopted regulations that ban the construction of single-family homes beginning in 2020. These new dwellings, called passive houses will be zero-energy buildings. To control urban communities in so far as tangible spatial development and the literal process of construction, Germany is creating policies that facilitate compact housing that is more energy efficient. During the recent UN Earth Summit on Sustainable Development in Rio+20, governments and private sector corporations have pledged to fund the UNs endeavors toward global governance with a generous $513 billion for Agenda 21 projects that will restrict the movements of humans, preserve biodiversity and assist the UN in attaining their Millennium Development Goals. Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State supports the incorporation of the Agenda 21 movement. She remarked that: Sustainability wont happen without business investment. Governments alone cannot solve all the problems we face, from climate change to persistent poverty to chronic energy shortages. Thats why we are so strongly in favor of partnerships. As far as UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is concerned, the money from corporations and governments cannot come at a better time. Ki-moon claims that words must translate into action with regard to moving the environmental governance agenda forward. Ki-moon says that since the first UNCSD, the incremental slide toward total global governance has spawned UN conventions on climate change, biodiversity and desertification, as well as the Agenda 21 blueprint for sustainable development, yet progress has been too slow we have not gone far enough down the road. We are now in sight of a historic agreement the world is waiting to see if words will translate into action, as we know they must. The UN Environmental Program (UNEP) has been expanded to become a specialized agency with a new title, UN Environmental 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. Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary General devised the global sustainability panel that includes more than 50 supporters of the creation of UNEO. 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. To fund globalization, 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. Through consolidation of power within the UN, the Agenda 21 scheme is being implemented locally and finding success as fake grassroots efforts. The global Elite have perfected the art of convincing the general public that sustainability is a good idea. By employing them to pressure their local and state governments for adherence to UN Agenda 21 schemes, their work is easy. It is up to us to recognize that the sustainable legislation we are unknowingly pushing our elected officials to approve are contributing to the loss of our independence and sovereignty as a Constitutional Republic governed by our own laws. Once we do this, we will no longer be manipulated into supporting the UNs global governance agenda and can once again be a free nation. Susanne Posel is the Chief Editor of Occupy Corporatism.

2	Obama Sneakily Issues The Worst Executive Order In Presidential History... You Will Be FURIOUS President Obama never seems to learn his lesson. Despite backlash for going beyond the law and to fuel his agenda, he has signed yet another executive order. According to WND, the new order will demand that federal agencies hire psychologists to experiment with new ways to control the American people. A growing body of evidence demonstrates that behavioral science insightsresearch findings from fields such as behavioral economics and psychology about how people make decisions and act on themcan be used to design government policies to better serve the American people, Obama wrote in the order. To more fully realize the benefits of behavioral insights and deliver better results at a lower cost for the American people, the order continues, the federal government should design its policies and programs to reflect our best understanding of how people engage with, participate in, use, and respond to those policies and programs. What you think? Are you sick of Obama going outside of process and acting more like a dictator than a president?

2	Andrea Tantaros Sheds Light On Obamas Absence At Scalias Funeral President Obama has come under intense scrutiny following the unexpected death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. This week, he angered Americans further when he made the decision not to attend Scalias memorial. Now, one Fox News host is speaking out against the Presidentand shes not holding back. It was only days after the death of the conservative hero that the White House announced that Obama was too busy to attend the funeral of a man who went above and beyond to protect our Constitution. At the time, Americans speculated that Obama was probably planning to play golf instead. Now we know that Obama busy reading and studying the actions he would need to take to appoint a new justice to the high court. Fox News host Andrea Tantaros was quick to quell the anger of conservatives, claiming that Scalia was better off without Obama at the funeral. Her arguments, which she posted to her Twitter account, have since gone viral and received overwhelming support. Read the posts below and tell us what you think. Is Scalia (and the White House as a whole) better off without Obama present? Andrea Tantaros (@AndreaTantaros) February 18, 2016 Andrea Tantaros (@AndreaTantaros) February 18, 2016 
3	Americas Report CardDave Hodges The general areas which will be examined are employment and income, economic health of the nation as a whole, educational opportunities, health and wellness, and civil liberties. It is time to give America her report card. Income and Employment Opportunities First and foremost, Americans no longer live in the highest salary paying country in the world. In fact, the United States does not even crack the top ten list of the highest salary paying countries on the planet in which Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Japan, Norway, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom round out the top ten and pay their workers more than workers in the United States. In fact, the United States only ranks 20th in terms of overall gross pay! Young adults who are degreed and/or skilled in fields such as engineering or information technology skills, are really wasting their time by working in the United States. Eight of the worlds ten highest-paying countries for information technology (IT) managers are in Western Europe, according to a new survey by Mercer Human Resource Consulting. The survey found that Swiss managers are paid the most, followed by those in Germany and Denmark. In fact, IT management is another field where U.S. workers fail to crack the top ten in income, the United States ranks 14th in IT management compensation. Even debt-ridden Spain, Italy and Greece pay their IT managers more than what Americans earn on average. The Alternate Unemployment Rate more accurately reflects the current unemployment reporting methodology adjusted for SGS-estimated long-term discouraged workers, who were eliminated from official existence by the Federal government back in 1994. That estimate is added to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimate of U-6 unemployment, which includes the previously short-term discouraged workers. The U-3 unemployment rate is the monthly headline number. The U-6 unemployment rate is the BLS broadest unemployment measure, including short-term discouraged and other marginally-attached workers as well as those forced to work part-time because they cannot find full-time employment as this group would be categorized as the underemployed. When all figures are combined, the Shadow Stats calculations are staggering as the unemployment and underemployment rate is approaching 24%! Shadow Stats is one of the most interesting financial websites that I have found in recent memory and they are worthy of a hearty recommendation as they give the public an accurate way to compare real unemployment to the government contrived games that are played with the unemployment numbers. The actual unemployment/underemployment rate, nearly 24%, is more than three times the governments figures for unemployment.Shadow Stats calculations clearly tell us that we are in a very serious depression, or what Gerald Celente often refers to as the Greatest Depression. And when we isolate the numbers and only include young adults, the picture goes from bleak to hopeless these statistics are the fertile breeding ground for revolution. The segment of the population which needs the most opportunity in the economy is literally getting killed. Consider the following statistics gathered from various sources: Workers in modern nations have always had retirement as an incentive to work towards. Soon, the government will control all retirement accounts. Furthermore, if you live in America, you arenot getting the best pension package compared to other Western nations, as America ranks last in overall pension benefits. And this is in the backdrop of the Obama Administration, there are clear plans to seize your 401k pensions. This planned theft by the Obama Administration will prove to be a devastating blow to the American middle-class and will provide a knockout punch to any hope that the middle class clings to when it comes to transmitting wealth to their children; we are only a couple of short years from realizing this inevitability. At least in Greece the people rioted when the Goldman Sachs run government stole the peoples pensions to pay down the bankers part of the derivatives debt. Conversely, Americans are merely acquiescing and passively accepting the fact that Obama and his minions are planning to steal your bank accounts, your social security, your public pensions and your 401k accounts and the process has already begun with Treasury Secretary Lew as he is borrowing against select Federal retirement accounts. THE GRADE FOR THIS CATEGORY IS AN F Educational Opportunities What about post-secondary education, dont we offer great and affordable post-secondary education? Surely, our universities and colleges, renowned around the planet for their trend-setting research endeavors, must offer a quality education. Unfortunately, for our young people seeking a quality and affordable education, in order to compete on a global scale in which they must have access to the best and most cost-effective education system in the world, we have left our students hanging. The Education Policy Institute assessed the affordability of higher education costs and found that the United States ranks 13th in higher education affordability. The results of the EPIs findings are as follows: Are students getting what they pay for? One survey found that 70% of all college graduates wish that they had spent more time preparing for the real world while they were still in college. Moreover, the college loan practices, in the United States, which serve to underwrite much of the cost of a college education, are the most predatory in the world. As of last year, bankruptcy cannot cancel out a student loan debt and delinquent college students can now go to jail for nonpayment. In fact, several federal agencies have even SWAT teamed many delinquent student loan defaulters. Nowhere else in the world can we find evidence of these types of predatory practices being used against college students as we do here in the United States. The scourge of the new Common Core curriculum has successfully invaded our schools. Despite the claims that Common Core will make students college ready, there is not one shred of research proof to support that statement. Yet, our schools are drinking the Kool-Aid and have embraced this approach to education wholeheartedly, and our children are the guinea pigs for this grand educational experiment. In Arizona, concerns among parents ran so high that the states Department of Education changed the name of Common Core in an attempt to fool the public. The concerns about Common Core are many and varied and limited space prevents me from listing all the concerns. Instead, I have chosen to list merely a cross-section of concerns regarding the Common Core math curriculum. The exclusion of key math concepts is commonplace under Common Core. The Pioneer Institutes examination of Common Core revealed the following deficiencies: Common Core was developed by Education for All which is a think tank within the UNESCO network of the United Nations. Do we really have to go to foreigners to develop a sound education system? Not one educator or state legislator was involved in the initial creation of Common Core. And the implementation of Common Core is being insisted upon by the Federal government despite not having performed one beta test designed to test the assumptions of this new approach to educating our children. Your children, this year, are the pilot test. Despite the flaws in an educational approach which are many and varied, there are still some wonderful educators, administrators and school board members which do indeed provide a quality education for our children in a limited number of locations. They are, however, too far and few between. THE GRADE FOR THIS CATEGORY IS A D- America only has to look at three economic indicators to know that we are in a lot of trouble, The budget deficit is $17 trillion dollars, unfunded (partially or otherwise) mandated social programs constitutes another $222 trillion dollars and the credit swap derivatives total between $1 quadrillion dollars to $1.5 quadrillion dollars. When we look at Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and all the government programs that we all take for granted, the price tag is a whopping $222 trillion dollars. These numbers are going to be exacerbated and grow exponentially because the bulk of the Baby Boomers are entering retirement age. Even if we took every single penny that the federal government takes in and devote it to paying off these social programs, it would take 111 years to pay off this debt. In the United States, credit swap derivatives created national debt totals of over one quadrillion dollars. That is one thousand trillion dollars! The entire GDP of the planet is estimated at $66 trillion dollars. And somehow, in the infinite wisdom of Congress in 2008, we falsely and naively believed that a $750 billion transfer of wealth (i.e., Bailout #1) was magically going to save the economy and the collective futures of the American middle class. In short, the debt created by futures speculation is approximately 16 times greater than the sum total of the entire wealth on the planet! And we think we are going to climb out of this? We could fund 1,000 bailouts and the eventual outcome will be the same, slavery by debt. In no civilized country in the world do the banks have the right to steal money from citizen depositors. However, in America, this is already being accomplished as ex-Goldman Sachs CEO and ex-senator and ex-governor, Jon the Don Corzine, stole 1.2 billion dollars from secured deposits from MF Global, lied to congress about his actions and today is enjoying the fruits of his thievery. Lets not forget that the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals who just ruled that banks can steal the money of its depositors and it is legal! This would have been a SHTF moment in every other Western country, but Americans are taking this grand theft on their backsides, sipping a beer and bemoaning the performance of their favorite NFL team. I have chronicled in a recent article that JPMorgan Chase and HSBC are making it almost impossible to wire money out of their banks into overseas accounts. Further, the IMF has announced plans to tax all bank accounts to the tune of 10% and that is just for starters. Can America be far behind? And the rich are getting richer at the expense of the middle class. Over 50 percent of all stocks and bonds are owned by just 1 percent of the U.S. population THE GRADE FOR THIS CATEGORY IS AN F Health and Wellness Well, we may not have our money, but at least we have our health. Unfortunately, that is not quite true either as the United States spends more than the next 12 nations for health care. However, it seems as if we are spending more and enjoying it less as, despite our exorbitant spending on health care, the United States ranks 50th in the world in life expectancy. Cuba, Puerto Rico and Spain have higher life expectancies than the United States. Americans live in the only country in the world where its citizens cannot bargain shop for its medicines in foreign countries because the pharmaceuticals companies have convinced Congress to establish a pharmaceutical monopoly over US citizens. Death by doctor is reaching catastrophic proportions, and the most dangerous place for a sick person to go is to the hospital. In the modern world, we pay the most for health care and have one of the lowest life spans and one of the highest infant mortality rates and things are only going to get worse under Obamacare! THE GRADE FOR THIS CATEGORY IS AN F Civil Liberties Well, we may not have our health and we may not have our wealth, but at least we have our freedoms, dont we? Nothing could be further from the truth. Our local police forces are being federalized and incidences of unwarranted police brutality are skyrocketing. According to the Economist Intelligence UnitDemocracy Index 2011, the United States is tied with Romania for forty-ninth in civil liberties. Several countries such as Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and Norway are tied for first. With the Patriot Acts, the NDAA and several other draconian pieces of legislation designed to protect us from the bogeymen we call terrorists, we have lost Habeus Corpus, we are losing our free speech rights to the United Nations and every form of due process that we once cherished under our Constitution. And if you dont like the unfolding criminal enterprise system which suddenly appeared before our collective eyes, the bankers have rolled out a technocratic police state which would make Stalin and Hitler envious. Both the police state and impending martial law are bolstered by the fact that the Department of Homeland Security has purchased 2.2 billion rounds of high tech bullets engraved with the names of citizens who dare to oppose this tyranny! The Constitution has been destroyed and thrown on to the garbage pile of history. And only in tin horn dictatorships and communist countries do we find this kind of criminal enterprise flourishing! THE GRADE FOR THIS CATEGORY IS AN F General Satisfaction with the American Government How good do we have it in America? Despite the media propaganda about how good we have it in America, Americans are leaving the country at breakneck speed and the annual rate of expatriation is growing as over 150,000 Americans departed the former land of liberty for greener pastures overseas in the past year. In total, over five million Americans are choosing to live outside the United States. The expatriation is mostly confined to the upper middle class. However, we can rightly assume that a general level of discontent exists among the middle class as well. And the latter statement is based upon what is going in Eastern Colorado where local residents want to withdraw from Colorado so they can better counter the Agenda 21 inspired tyranny. And in Northern California and Southern Oregon, two counties have already voted to withdraw from California to better fight the Federal Agenda 21 forces. No less that fifteen counties are preparing to join them. It is easy to conclude that some people are voting with their feet while others are trying to take matters into their own hands. Should anyone be surprised if the number of expatriates grows by tenfold, or even a hundred fold, in the couple of years? Congressional approval has dipped to an all-time low of 9%. Obamas popularity ratings are plummeting as well. THE GRADE FOR THIS CATEGORY IS AN F America has historically been the beacon of freedom and the land of opportunity which has attracted tens of millions of immigrants to the shores of our once great country in search of a better way of life. The reminders to our presumed national good fortune are constant as we are bombarded by messages from the corporate controlled media about how good we have it in America; and that we have it so good here that anyone desiring to leave should be considered to be crazy. Unfortunately, the worm has turned. The governing elite have lost the confidence of the governed and America is a train wreck waiting to happen.

1	The Department Of Homeland Security claimed to have 'reliable information' Monday that al-Qaeda is proceeding with a plan to dispatch to the United States 120 million operatives trained to antagonize and disrupt every American household. 'These domestic operatives are already highly knowledgeable about their assigned families' daily schedules, eccentricities, and deepest desires,' said DHS secretary Michael Chertoff. 'All we can say is that they are serious, they are committed, and they have a lot more members than we ever imagined.' While Chertoff said people should go about their daily lives as normally as possible, he did urge people to be diligent in reporting any unusual activity or suspicious Arab-looking men in their kitchens, bedrooms, closets or underneath their dinner tables. 
3	NY Senator Says Gun Ban Will Do Nothing but Make Criminals Out of Law Abiding TaxpayersYoutube 
1	In an effort to streamline unethical practices and boost illegal profiteering, Mayor Richard M. Daley announced sweeping new plans Monday to overhaul his city's 'antiquated' system of graft. According to Daley, Chicago's once-great fraudulent institutions have grown obsolete, and City Hall is no longer bilking taxpayers out of as much money as it once did. 'It's been business as usual for too long in Chicago, and now it's time to find more efficient ways to misuse authority for personal gain,' said Daley, who has served as Chicago's mayor since 1989. 'We must modernize our illegitimate activities right now, today, before it becomes impossible for public officials to act in my best self-interests.' Telling City Council members it was inexcusable that Chicago still used such outdated methods as pen and pencil to falsify financial records and conceal kickbacks, Daley called for the purchase of some 10,000 overpriced computers, which he said would allow the city to digitize no-bid contracts, electronically transfer misappropriated funds, and keep better track of who's on the take. The mayor's plan would also triple the number of job appointments for unqualified family members; increase aid to families struggling to get by on fraudulent disability claims; and funnel cash from undisclosed sources into a vast municipal hush fund designed to eliminate corruption scandals. 'This is 2010, for crying out loud,' said Daley, who argued that his initiative would allow an additional $200 million to be skimmed from city coffers. 'It is simply unacceptable that most payoffs to public officials are still hand-delivered in shoe boxes rather than being directly deposited into offshore bank accounts.' 'Times are tight and we can't afford to lose one cent of our shady, under-the-table incomes,' Daley continued. 'We have a dutynot just to our families, but to our second families with our mistressesto create jobs and expand illicit pension programs to ensure that our brothers and sisters and cousins and brothers-in-law never have to put in an honest day's work.' William Caldwell, a corruption efficiency consultant hired by the city, believes Chicago could be mismanaging itself far more effectively. He recommends instituting a diversified racketeering strategy with more clearly defined goals, and implementing new procedures to oversee the way money is siphoned from desperately underfunded schools. Though he applauded the city's state-of-the-art vote-rigging system, Caldwell said Chicago has failed to embrace the kinds of green initiatives that could simplify its day-to-day operations. 'Dumping the bodies of your enemies into Lake Michigan lacks foresight and is frankly irresponsible,' Caldwell said. 'Not only are there consequences for the environment in the long-term, but within a day or two they just float right to the top. Corpses belong in fresh concrete at a construction site operated by a contractor who owes you a favor.' Chicago, which has had a mayor named Richard Daley for 42 of the past 55 years, isn't the only city turning to technology to update corruption practices. Public officials in New Orleans, Las Vegas, and Washington, D.C. now use e-mail and PowerPoint presentations to intimidate opponents with compromising photographs and proof that their family is being watched, right this very moment. As a result, extortion is up 300 percent. While acknowledging that it will require many sacrifices from his constituents, Daley said he was confident that his plan will revitalize the vice trade, provide more ways for politicians to peddle their influence, and return Chicago to its halcyon days as the preeminent financial center of the underworld. 'When my dad ran this city, City Hall would bustle with illegal activity,' said Daley, adding that most small business owners today don't even know whom to pay for police protection. 'The world might be a more complicated place now, but I believe we can proudly run this city into the ground again, while still moving forward into a new age of unchecked graft and corruption.' Added Daley, 'Isn't that why we got into public service in the first place?' 
3	Schumer: Veterans Should Take a Pay Cut But Congress Should NotKimberly Paxton Because, of course, veterans havent done enough for the country. Members of Congress, however, should take no such cuts. According to the rather despicable gun-control advocating Senator Schumer, the government officials have sacrificed enough. Civilian federal employees have been cut, cut, cut. I think there was a feeling, if youre going to cut them further, which was done, that the military retirees should have about an equal amount. Its small, the New York Democrat told MSNBCs Morning Joe. I think (Rep.) Paul Ryan and (Sen.) Patty Murray looked everywhere they could to try and find compromise. Everybody had to take a little, Schumer said. Theyre going to have to pay a tiny, little bit into it, which they never have, he added. We have taken pretty big cuts, he said. (source) Lets tally up the numbers to put things in perspective: Just so this statistic is perfectly clear, the members of Congress bring in over 17 times the amount that retired vets do. Despite this, veterans under the age of 62 will be looking at a 1% per year cut in their benefits. Members of Congress will not be looking at any reduction.

2	Barack And Michelle Were Just Caught Red Handed Doing Something ABSOLUTELY Sickening According to recent reports, Barack and Michelle Obama just traveled to Los Angeles to make television appearance. Although the two were in the city at the same time, the presidential company decided to significantly increase costs by flying separately. The Conservative Tribune reports that the president flew to LA on Air Force One for Jimmy Kimmels talk show, which cost $200,000 per hour. Later that same day, the First Lady flew to an appearance on the Ellen Degeneres show, costing a whopping $28,000 per hour in addition to her husbands costs. The First Lady then returned to the White House solo, while Obama stayed behind and decided to fundraise for the Democratic National Committee. What do you think? Is this one of many examples of how selfish the Obamas are and how little consideration they have for the well being of American taxpayers? 
2	Hillary Clinton To Be Indicted By The FBI... Its Finally Happening [SEE DETAILS] For the past few months, Hillary Clinton has somehow escaped being questioned by the FBI over her proven use of a private, unsecured email server during her time as secretary of state. So she cant be very happy that the FBI finally set a date to interrogate her this week. A source close to the investigation told reporters at the Daily Caller that the interview is set to take place at Clintons home in Washington D.C. on Saturday. Reports indicate this is the final step in the FBIs investigation into the handling of classified information. It will also look into the possible public corruption charges in relation to the Clinton Foundation. The news comes just days after it was revealed that Attorney General Loretta Lynch had privately met with Bill Clinton on her government jet. Many Americans have criticized her for this, since she will make the final decision whether or not the presidential candidate is charged. The recommendations will be reviewed by career supervisors in the Department of Justice and in the FBI, and by the FBI director, and then as is the common process, they present it to me and I fully expect to accept their recommendations, Lynch said Friday. What do you think of this new revelation? 
1	The forces of morally upstanding civic involvement and partial nudity won out over corporate greed Saturday when a group of charitable, concerned citizensall voluptuous young women between the ages of 19 and 23saved a local orphanage from foreclosure at the hands of uncaring real-estate agents by holding a bikini car wash. Two of the nubile, civic-minded citizens who came to the aid of the orphanage. 'By slapping each other's firm, curvaceous, tanned bodies with sopping, sudsy sponges and cavorting gleefully as we lathered cars to a gleaming sheen, my friends and I were thankfully able to generate enough community interest to raise the funds necessary to save the orphanage,' said Van Nuys-area bleach-blonde bombshell Kelli Dee, the woman credited with leading the charity effort, at a poolside press conference Monday. 'I'm just glad the people of this city rallied so enthusiastically around our cause. They have proven that, even in these cynical times, people still care about what's truly important: helping kids.' For her efforts, Dee was given the Van Nuys Civic Association's Upstanding Citizen Award, during the acceptance of which her left breast briefly spilled from her sun dress, momentarily revealing her taut nipple to the cheering crowd. Dee, sources said, first became involved in the fight to save the orphanage just one week ago, when she arrived in Southern California to live with her long-lost Aunt Muriel while pursuing her dream of becoming a model and actress. 'Imagine my surprise,' a smiling Dee told reporters, 'when, upon showing up at the address I'd been given by my aunt, I found that it was actually a church orphanage, and that Aunt Muriel, who had quite a reputation as a 'party girl' back in her day, was now Sister Muriel the nun!' But the mood of jubilant reunion quickly turned sour when Dee learned that the orphanage, Holy Mother Of Christ In Heaven Nunnery And Home For Wayward Waifs, was in danger of being bulldozed by heartless real-estate developer J. Phineas Thadwick III to make room for a celebrity-themed chain restaurant and bar. 'He said we only had one week to pay the overdue mortgage,' Sister Muriel said. 'Kelli, God bless her, wanted to help, but she was penniless. Every last cent she had left over after her extensive series of breast-augmentation surgeries went toward paying for the bus ticket here from Iowa.' All seemed lost, Dee said, until she convinced her new friends from the beach to help raise the money by holding a car wash. 'At first they didn't accept me and were sure my idea would never work,' she said. 'But after a giggly pillow fight, during which we playfully tugged off each other's flimsy nighties, I was able to earn their trust.' Defying the odds, the girls' entrepreneurial fund-raising scheme ultimately paid off. 'Normally, I'd feel a sick sense of self-abasing shame for ogling such blatantly gratuitous female nudity,' said customer Norm Radchek, who had his car scrubbed clean an estimated two dozen times during the weekend event. 'But luckily, the knowledge that it was all for the sake of the orphanage enabled me to maintain the moral high ground while doing so.' Sister Muriel praised her niece's generosity and dedication to the orphanage. 'It was very brave of Kelli to selflessly press her soapy, thonged butt cheeks against the cars' windshields for a good cause,' she said. 'I thank heaven that the young ladies' skimpy swimwear was able to raise so much awareness and help these poor children.' Despite the overwhelmingly positive response generated by the car wash, success did not come easily. Before the money could be raised, the girls first had to overcome a number of attempts by Thadwick and his real-estate cronies to sabotage the event. Among the developers' more ruthless ploys to lure potential customers away from the fundraiser: the organization of a wet T-shirt contest across the street using a rival group of 'slutty' topless women who stood in sharp contrast to the wholesome topless women of the car wash. Additionally, an 11th-hour attempt by the developers to revoke the girls' car-wash license was defeated when Thadwick, brandishing a fistful of intimidating-looking forms from the County Assessor's office, was pushed into a swimming pool by pro-orphanage community members. 'Kelli and her bimbo friends haven't heard the last of J. Phineas Thadwick III!' a visibly humiliated Thadwick told reporters during the victory volleyball celebration that immediately followed his soaking-wet defeat. 'Just look at this suit! It's ruined!' Dee said she couldn't be happier with the way things worked out. 'We saved the orphanage, I made a lot of new friends, and practically everybody in town saw me naked from the waist up on multiple occasions,' she said. 'What more could a simple Iowa girl want?' Dee's future plans include taking voice lessons, helping her aunt around the orphanage, and dating a boy so shy and nerdy that he assumed a sexy dreamgirl like her would never even look at him. 'Ironically, the fact that he is so shy and nerdy is the very reason I like him,' she said. A documentary about the struggle to save the orphanage is currently being filmed by New Line Cinema and should be available in the 'Wild Comedy' section of Blockbuster Video by the end of the year. 
1	Telling members of the media Wednesday that the all-inclusive package has already proven popular with American vacationers, Royal Caribbean International discussed the launch last month of its newest cruise, a 12-day-long continuous buffet set up on the bare concrete floor of an abandoned dockside warehouse. According to Royal Caribbean officials, the cruises passengers mill around in a dilapidated shipping building on a Fort Lauderdale wharf and eat from a 400-foot-long buffet piled high with generous servings of coconut shrimp, macaroni salad, chicken fingers, and scores of other dishes. Spokespeople for the company confirmed the voyages are booked solid through January 2017. The new Dockside Getaway package has absolutely everything our customers want, Royal Caribbean hospitality manager Michelle Nakamura told reporters, noting that prices for the all-you-can-eat warehouse-based vacation start at $549 before taxes and fees. Guests simply board through the loading dock, drop their luggage anywhere inside the door, and all thats left to do is grab a plate and dig in for the next two weeks. The response from passengers has been even more enthusiastic than we anticipated, she continued. Weve already had to adjust our supply manifest to make sure we have enough freight containers of sour cream and bacon bits on hand to keep the baked-potato bar replenished. The massive buffet is believed to be the largest of any leisure cruise service currently in operation, both in terms of length and gross food tonnage. Nakamura touted several of its features, including 12 separate carving stations where passengers can sample prime rib, roast turkey, and glazed ham; eight make-your-own sundae bars; multi-tiered chocolate fountains in each of the dimly lit brick buildings four corners; a small salad bar; and 40 square yards of counter space dedicated solely to various gravies and sauces. The company reportedly conducted customer surveys and analyzed consumer data to create the Dockside Getaway, which lacks many of the traditional ocean liner amenities and attractionssuch as onboard pools and nightly music and comedy performancesbut is already said to be generating more revenue than any other Royal Caribbean cruise. Though each guest who books passage to the warehouse receives unlimited buffet privileges, those opting for the first-class package are granted extra perks, such as larger plates, larger bowls, and 48-ounce mugs for their soft drinks and juices. Numerous Dockside Getaway patronswho spoke to reporters over the noise of 5,000 fellow vacationers chewing, the clanking of steam trays, and the periodic sound of several pounds of fresh clam linguini, mini meatballs, or fried calamari being dumped onto the buffetexplained that the cruise was just the escape they were looking for. I felt a little sick the first day or two, but now Im having an incredible time, said 51-year-old Dennis Rathborn, an orthodontist from Baton Rouge, LA, who was on his 10th day of the vacation. Today, my wife and I hit the omelet station in the morning and then got lunch over at the build-a-burger counter, where we met a real nice couple from Denver. Later on, we took a little stroll down to the dessert area and just hung out for a while enjoying our baked Alaskas. The crew puts new stuff out every half hour or so, and you can go back up there as many times as you want, he added. Im just sad we have to leave in a couple days. No question were coming back, though. After piling their plates high with crab legs and French fries, several passengers were seen retreating to a darkened corner of the warehouse where they peeked out through a small air vent, catching a bit of a breeze and a glimpse of an old oil rig on a nearby commercial pier. Ive never treated myself to a cruise beforeIm having the time of my life! said Louise Hellinger, 65, a retired receptionist from Indianapolis. Sometimes the lines get a little long for the breakfast buffet and when you get up there, theres only melon left. But if youre up and at em early enough, you sure can eat your moneys worth! The cheesecake goes fast, added Hellinger, sitting down on a pile of old canvas tarps and tucking into a bowl of lobster bisque. Citing the success of the Dockside Getaway package, Royal Caribbean has announced the launch of another new cruise wherein five pounds of heavy hors doeuvres will simply be shipped to each vacationers home every day for two weeks. 
3	Russian Retaliation Will Be Defeating NATO in SyriaBy Tony Cartalucci It was a link to an article published just ahead of the incident titled, US air force Gen Selva visits Ankara to discuss terror, Syria, which stated specifically (emphasis added): Vice Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Paul J. Selva starts his visit to Ankara reportedly to discuss the fight against DAESH and Turkeys border security in the region, Selva, an air force general and the nations second-highest ranking military officer, is expected to commence his official talks with Turkish officials today and pay his first visit to Deputy Chief of Military General Staff Gen. Yaar Gler. During the meetings the officials are expected to discuss the Russian airstrikes on Turkmen-populated areas in Syria as well as other issues pertaining to the region. It would seem that the US general would be either on hand, or having just concluded his business with his Turkish counterparts just as Turkey carried out what surely was a long-planned ambush of a Russian warplane near the Syrian-Turkish border, and in particular, precisely over the Turkmen-populated areas in Syria. Not only did Turkey ambush the warplane which at best flew a mere 17 seconds in Turkeys airspace and, at worst, never entered it in the first place but NATO-backed terrorists operating inside Syria also participated, attempting to execute both pilots by firing at them as they parachuted to the ground killing one of them a war crime under the Geneva Convention and attacking rescue helicopters attempting to retrieve the pilots, killing one Russian Marine. Seventeen seconds if that were even true is by far not enough time to scramble fighter jets, acquire targets, and successfully down a jet briefly skimming ones borders. For the F-16s to have been coincidentally in place, with terrorists on the ground waiting for pilots Turkey knew would come down in Syrian territory, much planning would have been necessary, days or weeks ahead of the ambush. The final result of NATOs masterstroke one that was dreamed about since Russias operations in Syria began and repeatedly called for particularly within the halls of the US Senate was a treacherous display of depravity upon the world stage an act of treachery that will only further reveal NATOs role in feeding, not fighting terrorism and give Russia further impetus to finish what it has started doing in Syria. It is also clear that while the US attempts to maintain plausible deniability, Turkeys act of war was done on behalf of all of NATO, including perhaps especially the United States. Turkey and Israel both have been playing the role of wild cards NATO and the US in particular have attempted to feign an inability to control. This allows the US to carry out acts of aggression by proxy through the use of conventional military forces it itself could never justify carrying out. Turkey and Israels use by the US in this manner was revealed as early as 2012 in the Brookings Institutions Middle East Memo #21, Assessing Options for Regime Change, which stated (emphasis added): In addition, Israels intelligence services have a strong knowledge of Syria, as well as assets within the Syrian regime that could be used to subvert the regimes power base and press for Asads removal. Israel could posture forces on or near the Golan Heights and, in so doing, might divert regime forces from suppressing the opposition. This posture may conjure fears in the Asad regime of a multi-front war, particularly if Turkey is willing to do the same on its border and if the Syrian opposition is being fed a steady diet of arms and training. Such a mobilization could perhaps persuade Syrias military leadership to oust Asad in order to preserve itself. Advocates argue this additional pressure could tip the balance against Asad inside Syria, if other forces were aligned properly. It appears an uninspired rewriting of this plan is being put into effect now, despite the presence of Russian forces in the region. Perhaps the US believes Russia too would seek to avoid a two-front war with Turkey and Israel as the primary combatants with the US itself playing a muted role for the sake of plausible deniability. Even if war was not the intended final outcome, perhaps the US believes this extra pressure could afford them much needed leverage in a conflict already clearly escaping out of their control. To this end, in the wake of Turkeys actions, Ankara has intentionally posed as unrepentant. While it claims to have recordings of its warning transmitted to the Russian Su-24, readers should keep in mind another recording made public coming from amid Turkeys senior leadership. Ahead of a previously failed attempt to establish a buffer zone in northern Syria, Turkey was caught conspiring to carry out a false flag attack on its own territory to blame on Syria thus justifying a full-scale invasion of Syrias northern border. The International Business Times reported in its article, Turkey YouTube Ban: Full Transcript of Leaked Syria War Conversation Between Erdogan Officials, that (emphasis added): Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogans ban of YouTube occurred after a leaked conversation between Head of Turkish Intelligence Hakan Fidan and Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutolu that he wanted removed from the video-sharing website. The leaked call details Erdogans thoughts that an attack on Syria must be seen as an opportunity for us [Turkey]. In the conversation, intelligence chief Fidan says that he will send four men from Syria to attack Turkey to make up a cause of war. Deputy Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Yaar Gler replies that Fidans projected actions are a direct cause of warwhat youre going to do is a direct cause of war. It is clear that for some time, Turkey has been playing the role of an intentional provocateur, seeking to shake up an otherwise hopelessly lost situation, through acts of terrorism and now apparently, acts of war. Syria and its allies appear to realize that despite much more work to be done, the momentum has finally and irreversibly shifted in their favor. Seizing territory from NATO-backed terrorists and cutting off their supply lines leading in from NATO territory in Turkey will essentially end the war in favor of Damascus, Tehran, and Moscow. Attempts to provoke Russia, no matter how tempting, will be resisted by Moscow. Any retaliation Russia exacts against Turkey will be done in a matter that negates any affects carrying over to its primary mission in Syria to win the war. With Russian air defense systems being enhanced across the region the stakes are being raised as is the cost of any further provocations not only for Turkey, but for NATO as a whole. Should F-16s attempt to ambush another Russian warplane and end up themselves shot down, the veneer of invincibility NATO airpower has enjoyed for years will evaporate amid an already losing battle the hegemonic military alliance is fighting. Nations being courted for NATO ascension and allies of the antiquated geostrategic bloc, will begin having second thoughts about accepting a subordinate role among an alliance seemingly incapable of winning wars, or even individual confrontations. Already, murmurs in the halls of power around the world are noting that NATOs victory over Russias single Su-24 came at the cost of weeks of planning, absolute treachery, tremendous expenditures in political capital, and included blatant war crimes just to kill a pilot and a Marine. It is unlikely that NATO will be able to orchestrate another ambush of this magnitude, but even if it could, it would do so only to further confirm to the world the lengths it must go through to achieve superficial primacy over Russia in a conflict it has otherwise clearly lost. Syria and Russias goal now must be to raise exponentially the cost of NATO forces further entering into the Syrian conflict.US President Barack Obamas comments regarding Turkeys right to defend itself are not only supremely hypocritical even self-incriminating, but may present Syria and its allies with an opportunity to finally clear its skies of intruding Western warplanes. If Turkey is justified in shooting down a warplane near its borders it knew had no intention of attacking Turkish territory, then surely Syria has every right to down Western planes who are most certainly attacking its territory. Alternatively, expanding Russias footprint in Syria and accelerating the eradication of NATOs terrorists proxies will leave NATO with little reason to justify further intervention in Syrias skies, let alone on the ground. In all likelihood, Turkeys unprecedented act of war was in part motivated by the realization of this fast approaching reality.

Perhaps you can tell by the way Im dressed. Just got off the plane. The spirit of the people is incredible. The devastation, likewise, theyve never seen anything like it. But the spirit of the people is incredible. And honestly, Obama ought to get off the golf course and get down there.

3	The Government Science of Preventing Whistleblowers From Speaking OutBy Lucas Dare 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. ~John F. Kennedy Today, as the world hangs on every WikiLeaks release coming from Julian Assange, it is clear that the role of whistleblower in our society is critical to the survival of freedom, and also clear the public demandsthe truth. There is a definitive science to preventing and destroying whistleblowers which includesa continuum of intimidation tactics that are very effective at keeping government employees from going public with information that could be harmful to the state. Author of From the Company of Shadows, and a decorated former CIA officer and anti-terrorism specialist turned whistleblower, Kevin Shipp, recently spoke ina publicawareness event in Northern California on the issues that moral people face when confronted with evidence of state corruption. He begins byasking why there are not more whistleblowers in a world where government secrecyand covert activity has become the norm. Speaking from his personal experience, both as a witness from inside the CIA and as a person who is directly taking the risks associated with exposing government corruption, he reveals his insight into this issue, offering a solid explanation of why more people dont come forward with the truth about our governments unconstitutional and immoral activities. According to Shipp, there is a complete game plan in play that covers all the bases of intimidation, harassment and coercion; and, as outlined below, here arethe main things that prevent more people from becoming speaking out. Ninety-nine percent of all would-be whistleblowers are convinced to look the other way by use of binding secrecy agreements as terms for employment or promotion. Essentially, in order to work for the government in any capacity that would involve one in any of the many unconstitutional programs it operates today, employees must sign binding secrecy agreements where they cannot talk without going to prison for doing so. This type of agreement was originally designedas a way to legitimately protect sources, methods and technology; however, the intention has changed dramatically and it is now used broadly as a form of intimidation used to conceal criminal activity. These agreements are forfeitures of constitutional rights such as the right to a jury trial, the right to sue the government, and all rights to due process. There is a massive, mammoth, complex secret mechanism in the U.S. Government, its called the intelligence community. It is so powerful that not even the Congress or the Senate can control it. Matter of fact, it controls them. It does whatever it wants. They have these Senate investigations, and theyll come and they say, sorry Senator, we cant tell you what were doing because you dont have the agency clearance. And thats where its shut down. ~Kevin Shipp By using the state secrets privilege, which wascreated by the executive branch of the U.S. Government, the intelligence community can prevent and stop any investigation into sensitive issues, it can prevent disclosure of pertinent information in an investigation, and it can stop any lawsuits it wishes to shut down. The state secrets privilege (SSP) is a common law privilege that allows the head of an executive department to REFUSE to produce evidence in a court case on the grounds that the evidence is secret information that would harm national security or foreign relation interests if disclosed. [Source] If someone persists on going public with state secrets, or even indicates an intention to do so, there are a numberof tactics that can be applied to embarrass, intimidate, and directly penalize them. This may come in the form of demotion, of givingsomeone embarrassing or compromising assignments, or by directly intervening in their personal lives in illegal ways such as financially destroying ones family by blocking retirement funds or by raising interest rates on credit union loans so their vehicles and homes become unaffordable. This tool is used to officially discredit a potential whistleblower before they actually go public so that if they succeed at drawing attention to an agency their character is already defamed and documented as being unstable. What theyll do is theyll say, we can see that youre very stressed out by all of this, and we want to help you, so, were going to refer you to the office of medical services so you can undergo some psychological counseling to help you sleep at night and make you better and get rid of your anxiety, so, were going to set up an appointment for you to meet with a psychologist. Now, where do you suppose that goes? The interviews over, the document is falsified, employee is paranoid, obsessive-compulsive, and disgruntled. That goes in the file, so if it ever does get to the Congress or Senate or court, they pull it out and say, well look, he or she went under an evaluation and theyre basically unstable, end of story, shut the case down. ~Kevin Shipp Inspectors general are presented as an objective and honest safeguard in thebureaucratic process; however, this is not always true. When a significant case is presented with overwhelming evidence is presented against the state, an inspector general for any agency can step in with their own conclusions citing there isno problem nor wrongdoing, and that theirinternalinvestigation had not revealed anything. This effectively prevents any outside body from being able to fully examine whistleblower allegations. They will destroy you. Theyll destroy your career, your finances, destroy your family. Theyll take you all the way down as far as they can. ~Kevin Shipp All in all this creates a culture of fearwithin all government agencies, effectively silencing dissent before it happens. Weve seen what happened to Bradley Manning who was prosecuted under the Espionage Act for releasing military documents to WikiLeaks. Julian Assange and Edward Snowden have been living for years in exile under the protection of foreign governments for their roles in exposing how the state is violating our constitutional rights. Even at the civil level people who expose state corruption are persecuted beyond common sense as is evidenced in the case of Ramsey Orta, the only person going to jail in relation to the murder of Eric Garner by the NYPD, after he filmed Garners murder in 2014. In light of all of this, it is no wonder that more people do not speak out on government programs that violate our natural and civil rights, for it takes tremendous courage and incurs significant risk to do so. LucasDareis a staff writer for Waking Times, where evolution and revolution unite, and forOffgrid Outpost. Image Credit: Anthony Freda Art I thought this was a very informative article. The author and Shipp focus on the non-lethal methods used to silence whistleblowers. If these methods fail, options still exist. The beast in th east is nuthing if not pure criminal. Bunch of satanic goat and owl worshipers. And they wonder why the disgruntled employee suddenly becomes crazed and shoots all his coworkers. No, he shot the bastards who were going to burn him. Most people are far too civilized to do that, forgetting that the corrupt administrators have no such restrictions. 
1	In an effort to provide monetary compensation to the Egyptian president for three decades of faithful service, U.S. officials opened negotiations with Hosni Mubarak Tuesday, offering him a severance package worth $20 million upon termination of his employment. 'We are all thankful for the hard work and long hours President Mubarak put in over the years, and hope our discussions continue smoothly,' said senior U.S. negotiator Frank Wisner, who admitted that the final settlement would have to be considerable, as Mubarak's contract with the U.S. was being terminated 15 years early. 'Unfortunately, he no longer reflects our needs in the region at this time, but we would like to end our relationship on the right foot. He deserves to retire in comfort.' Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has also reportedly offered to write Mubarak a letter of recommendation in case he wishes to apply for any dictatorship jobs with U.S. allies in the future.

2	BREAKING: Evidence Emerges That Is Getting Ferguson Officer Off The Hook It is becoming increasingly clear that the Department of Justice has thus far been able to find evidence sufficient enough to bring federal civil rights charges against Officer Darren Wilson for the shooting of Michael Brown. According to reports, Wilson told investigators that he had a physical struggle with Brown inside of his patrol car for his gun. He also claimed that the teen punched and scratched him during the altercation, which he claims left visible swelling and cuts around his face and neck. Wilsons claims contradict the reports of witnesses who made statements that Brown was not acting violently or resisting when he was shot. However, a forensic examination points otherwise, after blood was found on both Wilsons pistol and the interior panel of his cruiser. Results indicated that the blood was Browns, which supports Wilsons story. It is still the responsibility of the grand jury to decide whether the officer will be indicted on a murder charge for Browns death. Their verdict will be released in mid-November.

Gowdy and his committee have been heavily investigating Clintons involvement, and the correspondence has been an important and missing piece of the puzzle. Now, Gowdys committee has made some serious progress after calling Sidney Blumenthal, a close friend and associate of the Clintons. Blumenthal was also responsible for setting up an ad hoc intelligence network in North Africa. Correspondence reveals that he had emailed Clinton several times with intelligence reports. Although he did not hold an official position at the state department, he was paid $10,000 from the Clinton Foundation. Blumenthals emails tell a very interesting storyand one that reveals that Clinton had information regarding weakened security conditions in Benghazi. They also point to her knowledge that a possible terror attack was being planned after the death of Osama bin Laden. Now, theyve revealed that Hillary is still holding emails back from the committee. Now the State Department is claiming they didnt know they were required to turn over the correspondence. What do you think? Are you sick of Clinton lying to the American public? 
3	Department of Justice secretly gave Internet service providers immunity when conducting surveillanceMadison Ruppert Previously, EPIC obtained documents on the National Security Agencys Perfect Citizen program which involves monitoring private computer networks. This latest revelation deals with an entirely different program first called Defense Industrial Base Cyber Pilot, or DIB Cyber Pilot, though it is now operating as Enhanced Cybersecurity Services. While this type of activity might be illegal under federal wiretapping legislation, the Obama administration gave the companies immunity when monitoring networks under a cybersecurity pilot program. The Justice Department is helping private companies evade federal wiretap laws, said Marc Rotenberg, executive director of EPIC. Alarm bells should be going off. The alarm bells should get louder when one realizes that while this collaboration between the Department of Defense (DoD), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the private sector began focusing only on defense contractors, the program was massively expanded. Thanks to an executive order dated February 12, 2013 entitled, Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity, the program was widened significantly. The order expanded it to cover other critical infrastructure industries which includes systems and assets, whether physical or virtual, so vital to the United States that the incapacity or destruction of such systems and assets would have a debilitating impact on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination of those matters. The documents reveal that the National Security Agency (NSA) and Defense Department were directly involved in pushing for this secret legal authorization. NSA director Keith Alexander participated in some of the discussions personally, according to the documents. Attorneys from the Justice Department signed off on the immunity despite the Department of Justices and industry participants initial reservations, according to CNET. The legal immunity was given to participating internet service providers in the form of 2511 letters, as the participants in the confidential discussions refer to them. A 2511 letter is named after the Wiretap Act, 18 USC 2511, which the participants will not be held to by the Department of Justice. According to CNET, the 2511 letters provided legal immunity to the providers by agreeing not to prosecute for criminal violations of the Wiretap Act. Its not clear how many 2511 letters were issued by the Justice Department. DIB Cyber Pilot was first publicly disclosed in 2011 by then Deputy Secretary of Defense William Lynn but in 2012, the pilot program expanded into an ongoing program dubbed Joint Cybersecurity Services Pilot. As of January it was renamed yet again, this time to Enhanced Cybersecurity Services program. The same model used under the DIB pilot will be used under the new program, which means that participating companies would be required to change their banners to reference government monitoring. The DHS privacy office stated that users on participating company networks will see an electronic login banner [stating] information and data on the network may be monitored or disclosed to third parties, and/or that the network users communications on the network are not private. It is not clear how the banner will be worded exactly, but a 2011 Department of Defense Office of General Counsel PowerPoint presentation obtained by EPIC reveals eight of the elements that should be part of the banner: 1. It expressly covers monitoring of data and communications in transit rather than just accessing data at rest. EPIC staff attorney Amie Stepanovich says the banner the government proposed is so broad and vague that it would allow ISPs not only to monitor the content of all communication, including private correspondence, but also potentially hand over the monitoring activity itself to the government, Threat Level reports. Similarly troubling is that it would only be seen by employees of participating companies, meaning that outsiders who communicate with those employees would have no clue that their communication was under surveillance. One of the big issues is the very broad notice and consent that theyre requiring, which far outpaces the description of the program the weve been given so far of not only the extent of the DIB pilot program but also the extent of the program that expands this to all critical infrastructure, Stepanovich said, according to Threat Level. The concern is that information and communications between employees will be sent to the government, and theyre preparing employees to consent to this, she added. Both the NSA and Justice Department declined to comment to CNET but Sy Lee, a DHS spokesman sent a statement to CNET saying: DHS is committed to supporting the publics privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties. Accordingly, the department has implemented strong privacy and civil rights and civil liberties standards into all its cybersecurity programs and initiatives from the outset, including the Enhanced Cybersecurity Services program. In order to protect privacy while safeguarding and securing cyberspace, DHS institutes layered privacy responsibilities throughout the department, embeds fair practice principles into cybersecurity programs and privacy compliance efforts, and fosters collaboration with cybersecurity partners. However, even individuals in the Justice Department expressed misgivings that the program would run afoul of privacy laws forbidding government surveillance of private Internet traffic, according to EPIC. Furthermore, the Department of Homeland Security has no problem lying to Congress about their privacy breaches. Why anyone should believe that they would be honest now isnt quite clear. While the NSA claims they will not directly filter the traffic or receive the malicious code captured by Internet providers, EPIC points out that it is unclear how they can detect malicious code and prevent its execution without actually captur[ing] it in violation of federal law. Former Homeland Security official Paul Rosenzweig likened the NSA and Defense Department asking the Justice Department for 2511 letters to the CIA asking the Justice Department for the so-called torture memos a decade ago, according to CNET. If you think of it poorly, its a CYA function, Rosenzweig said. If you think well of it, its an effort to secure advance authorization for an action that may not be clearly legal. This perspective was reinforced by a Congressional Research Service report published last month. The report states it is likely the case that the executive branch does not actually have the legal authority to authorize additional widespread monitoring of communications unless Congress rewrites the law to give that authority. Such an executive action would contravene current federal laws protecting electronic communications, the non-partisan report states. However, CISPA which the House passed last week would actually give formal authorization to the program without resorting to workarounds like 2511 letters. Since CISPA simply overrides any and all privacy laws at the state and federal level, any program like this would be given the legal green light. Even more troubling is that the internal documents show that in late 2011, NSA, DoD and DHS officials actively met with aides on the House Intelligence committee who actually drafted the legislation. The purpose of the meeting, one e-mail shows, was to brief committee aides on cyber defense efforts, as CNET put it. Ryan Gillis, a director in the DHS Office of Legislative Affairs also sent an e-mail to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat and chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, discussing the pilot program during the same period. It is hardly surprising that at least one of the same companies getting immunity under the 2511 letters has expressed support for CISPA, since both give network providers immunity from prosecution. ATT and CenturyLink are the only two providers publicly announcing their participation in the program thus far. However, an unnamed government official cited by CNET said that other unnamed companies have signed a memorandum of agreement with DHS to join the program and are undergoing security certification. These agencies are clearly seeking authority to receive a large amount of information, including personal information, from private Internet networks, Stepanovich said to CNET. If this program was broadly deployed, it would raise serious questions about government cybersecurity practices. Rosenzweig points out that the expansion into the many sectors outlined in the executive order above could potentially even include the monitoring of meat packing plants. Indeed, the language is broad enough to include just about anything at this point. Did I forget anything or miss any errors? Would you like to make me aware of a story or subject to cover?

2	What The Obama Family Was Just Caught Doing During The Holidays Will Make You Sick Well, the Obama family is at it again. According to reports, they landed in Hawaii on Friday night for their annual multi-million dollar Christmas vacationand once again, Americans are going to be left footing a large portion of the bill. Barack Obama reportedly waved as he stepped off Air Force One with his family at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, adjacent to Honolulu. Before taking off from Washington D.C., Obama ended his final news conference of the year by saying Mele Kalikimaka meaning Merry Christmas in Hawaiian. The Obamas are once again scheduled to stay in a mansion they have rented in Kailua until the New Year. This vacation comes after it was revealed that Obama has already spent $85 million in U.S. tax dollars on vacations and travel expenses since he took office. Judicial Watch reported that the Obamas have spent at least $10 million on travel each year theyve been in the White House. The conservative watchdog organization also revealed that the First Familys trip to Hawaii in 2015 cost taxpayers $1.2 million. This was the Obamas eighth Hawaiian family vacation, Judicial Watch noted. The trip has become an annual event for the Obamas. To date, Obamas and his familys travel expenses total at least $85,029,819. Meanwhile, Americans everywhere are struggling to afford a Christmas tree or even keep the lights on. What do you think? Are you ready for the Obamas to be out of the White House once and for all? 
3	NASAs Kepler Discovers First Earth-Size Planet In The Habitable Zoneselfnews Post We know of just one planet where life exists Earth. When we search for life outside our solar system we focus on finding planets with characteristics that mimic that of Earth, said Elisa Quintana, research scientist at the SETI Institute at NASAs Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., and lead author of the paper published today in the journal Science. Finding a habitable zone planet comparable to Earth in size is a major step forward. Kepler-186f resides in the Kepler-186 system, about 500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. The system is also home to four companion planets, which orbit a star half the size and mass of our sun. The star is classified as an M dwarf, or red dwarf, a class of stars that makes up 70 percent of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy. M dwarfs are the most numerous stars, said Quintana. The first signs of other life in the galaxy may well come from planets orbiting an M dwarf. Kepler-186f orbits its star once every 130-days and receives one-third the energy from its star that Earth gets from the sun, placing it nearer the outer edge of the habitable zone. On the surface of Kepler-186f, the brightness of its star at high noon is only as bright as our sun appears to us about an hour before sunset. Being in the habitable zone does not mean we know this planet is habitable. The temperature on the planet is strongly dependent on what kind of atmosphere the planet has, said Thomas Barclay, research scientist at the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute at Ames, and co-author of the paper. Kepler-186f can be thought of as an Earth-cousin rather than an Earth-twin. It has many properties that resemble Earth. The four companion planets, Kepler-186b, Kepler-186c, Kepler-186d, and Kepler-186e, whiz around their sun every four, seven, 13, and 22 days, respectively, making them too hot for life as we know it. These four inner planets all measure less than 1.5 times the size of Earth. The next steps in the search for distant life include looking for true Earth-twins Earth-size planets orbiting within the habitable zone of a sun-like star and measuring the their chemical compositions. The Kepler Space Telescope, which simultaneously and continuously measured the brightness of more than 150,000 stars, is NASAs first mission capable of detecting Earth-size planets around stars like our sun. Ames is responsible for Keplers ground system development, mission operations, and science data analysis. NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., managed Kepler mission development. Ball Aerospace Technologies Corp. in Boulder, Colo., developed the Kepler flight system and supports mission operations with the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado in Boulder. The Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore archives, hosts and distributes Kepler science data. Kepler is NASAs 10th Discovery Mission and was funded by the agencys Science Mission Directorate. The SETI Institute is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to scientific research, education and public outreach. The mission of the SETI Institute is to explore, understand and explain the origin, nature and prevalence of life in the universe. NASA press release.

3	The Most Important Presidential Election Question...(That no one EVER asks).Op-Ed by Brett Redmayne-Titley It was exactly eight years ago today. Bartending at a beer joint in Knoxville, TN the sparse, late night crowd leaning, beers in hand, on the bar from their nearby barstools. They were rabid with presidential banter. Quickly emptying beer mugs and soggy tongues combining with their passion for a reprieve after Bush II, made for spirited argument. Just days before, the supposed oracles of Hope and Change had allowed Barack Obama to smite the vaunted Clinton machine at the DNC convention. Hillary, then, had attempted to desperately, yet unsuccessfully, shroud herself in her opponents socialist mantle. This left the promises of the first black American president to now, for the next three months, go after the very vitriolic, business-as-usual, republican challenger, John McCain. Because of the McCain campaign being the mirror for all the myriad of nation-wide social issues and problems, the bar-folks tonight like America itself were giddy with the prospect of all the many solutions and all the many promises offered by US presidential candidate Obama. Promises. Indeed the fifteen month long DNC contest was filled with all manner of Obamas promises which were a collective repudiation of eight years of G.W. Bush plunder. From universal health care and the public option to new banking regulations; bringing home the troops from Iraq and Afghanistan to new US military restraint, improving US education and illegal immigration guarantees, securing Social Security, denying the upcoming recession and eliminating lobbyists from his proposed cabinet, Obama now filled the TV screen daily in every home and this bar across a desperate America. His promises rained down as if a downpour of hope and change. Like national campaigns previous, it all sounded so good. So, on they went at the bar discussing the merits of Obama, his historic candidacy and his promised future. The bartender, currently pouring a fresh round with his back to the five, was listening. Apparently he was the only one present with a short-term memory, for he recalled, as each glass filled, first suffering through eight fraudulent years of the Clinton presidency and those lessons that should have been learned. So as the banter continued, the bartender finished pouring, now spinning around to face his customers, depositing the newly frothed glasses, onetwo three four and five!, with a loud, distinct slam directly before each the fawning five-some. He was upset. Hed heard this shit before. This campaign cycles presidential choices, by simple comparison, are the two worst qualified ever to lead the voters of America to promised prosperity. In synopsis and review, the two might best be described as: A life-long corporatist who sold her soul for power and money long before teaming up with her skullduggerous husband and who now masquerades again before voters in the socialist clothing of the other supposed and now vanquished supposed socialist offering. After promising to clean up American banks, investment houses and all manner of existing corporate crime, this candidate fails to tell voters that she is in reality corporate crime personified. After soliciting millions in different types of donations via the US State Dept. in exchange for speaking fees from these same villainous corporations and world leaders, she nervously laughs off, without comment, factual documentation of her crimes. Strangely, her supporters seem to wallow in her indiscretions. They ignore the former first ladys prostitution of her character at every level of her political career and none choose to recall that she had no moral compunction regarding her husband using his female aid as the first-ever walking presidential humidor nor his subsequent impeachment for same. She is political opportunism perfected. The next three months will reveal just how much voter lack of trust it will take to send Hillary Rodham Clinton back to her normal duties: shoveling money for the Clinton Foundation. Alternatively, the voter may be forced to choose a never-apologetic corporatist who is probably not a rich billionaire, revels in bombastic statements similar to passages from Mein Kampf and offers only vague details of any plan of action on any issue of importance to Americans but does guarantee to Make America Great Again. This candidate has no plan, few specifics, no political experience; only promises of his claimed personal greatness somehow subsequently smearing vicariously onto each one of his rabid minions. This candidate bristles with unbridled, hyperbolic vitriol whenever challenged with facts. Still, this other half of the voters nation-wide scream, yell and salute their new hero like a legion of Hitler Youth. Somehow, despite Donald J. Trumps ever-reddening, pinkish facial hue, these voters fail to notice the ever-enveloping odor of sulfur nor the subtle, yet increasingly obvious protrusion of horns and tail. Regardless of personal foibles, will either of these two candidates have the ability assuming that post-election that they still have the willingness to give to the voter what each has so vociferously promised? No. You all are suffering from political delusions!, frowned the bartender, the fresh beers now properly in place.Everything you just said, every promise, every policy, ever social program, problem and every solution means absolutely nothing. NOTHING! Unless and now he hunkered down, bent-over, elbows on the bar looking straight into the eyes of each of the somewhat shocked customers who fortunately were also friends and said slowly in metered cadence,unless Obama can answer one, all-important, questionHow will you, yes you! Mr. Presidential Candidate, get anything and I mean anything you promised passed into law by a Congress completely controlled by corporations; not the voter! Righting himself, he turned away disgusted, grabbing a bar towel to dry some glasses . Ha! he scoffed, Obama doesnt stand a chance. Lyndon Baines Johnson, 36th US President, got what he wanted. Or else. LBJ was a socialist and made not one apology for it. He was also a student, prodigy and product of real DNC power. His Great Society was visionary, revolutionary and vehemently opposed by republicans and many democrats alike. When Johnson, in his 64 run, promised all manner of social programs and regulations that would make America a great nation by inclusion and concern for all Americans, he knew well the political task at hand. He made his promise to the voters that elected him to see the Great Society come to be and had all the tools to finish the job. To this end Johnson took no prisoners and rarely accepted compromise. He did not have to. He was finally President of the United States of America. What gave Johnson the presidential power to smite each and every one of his congressional opponents on the way to his socialist victory? The sledgehammer of all truly powerful, truly populist presidents long since forgotten: Political Capital. If you get them by their balls, their hearts and minds will follow. G. Gordon Liddy. LBJ is presumably blaspheming very loudly from his grave at the fraudulent facade of socialist democracy that the DNC has become. In his times, and that of all presidents before him, a president had no compunction at all in using his built-up personal political capital to take even the most powerful congressional opponent to the White House woodshed. With Johnson this might be the power of his hand shake and his hawk-like stare. Perhaps a brief whispered congressional hallway or cloakroom discussion or the power of honest emphatic presidential oration before the full Congress. Worse, a summons to the smoke filled room with the likes of Sam Rayburn, who himself was pure DNC power personified and Johnsons mentor over decades of accumulated power. In these times, however, what many a lowly senator or congressperson learned to dread most was: the phone call. In Austin, TX is the LBJ museum, a must stop for all who have fond memories of the days when America was indeed Great and led by example at the height of what Tom Brokaw coined in his 1998 book of the same name The Greatest Generation. On the far side of the first floor of the public gallery, among dozens of other interesting exhibits, is a very small, simple exhibit easily missed. For those who understand true presidential power, this exhibit is the most illustrative of Johnsons character, conviction and knowledge of his own inherent, crushing presidential power. On the wall next to a small glass enclosure that shows Johnson speaking into the phone from his chair in the Oval Office, hangs on its hook a single old fashioned telephone receiver. Picking this up to listen, one hears some of Johnsons solicitations with congressional opponents for votes needed to pass legislation within his Great Society. But these calls are not negotiations. They are diktats from the US president. Johnson concludes one call, his voice slowly rising, Senator Yes, I can appreciate your position. But I will tell you, Senator and here Johnsons voice takes on a nasty tone, as your president, if I do not get your voteNOTHING from your state will ever cross my desk again! Then there is a click and silence. Johnson has hung-up. No good-bye. Johnson got the senators vote. Thats Presidential Power. Thats political capital! What defines the power of a president, that which gives him the political capital to bring his opposition to their knees? For Johnson it was the deals, the arrangements, the backdoor understandings, the quid pro-quo and back-slaps of six terms (12 years) in the House followed by twelve years in the US senate, and of course a sadly truncated Vice-Presidency. In short: favors owed, multiplied by congressional power accumulated. Political Capital. Johnson indeed took careful note of all favors given, knowing that the effect of his political capital was contingent on his timely demand for favors owed. So, when ultimately gaining the office he had sought all his life, he now had the real assets of power to make the changes he had already dedicated his political career to. He was the President. He now could use that accumulated power. And he would use it, not for himself, not for the whims of his donors. For the people of America. So, in the offices of the US Congress, when the phone rang Now, for a modern definition of presidential political capital, by comparison we might turn to the first 100 days of the 08 Obama administration eight years ago and all its promises of social HOPE and CHANGE. With a functionally paltry one and a half years in the US senate due to his running for president full time just over a year after entering the Senate Obama assumed the reins of the presidency. This, however, was primarily due to his offering a Pandoras Box of bold, socialist-like promises which, combined with Americas fawning willingness to ignore the tenets of Dr. King and elect a president primarily due to the color of his skin, instead of examining first the content of his character. Or political capital. Barack Obama had no political capital whatsoever. Proving the point, he immediately showed this weakness to his adversaries by routinely using the two most impotent tools of any amateur politician; compromise and bribery. Worse, once he had shown this weakness his entire administration became ineffective and all his election promises null and void. In power politics, the powerful feed on the weak. Period. This would be a theme of the next eight years of Obama failure, for this failed president as predicted had no true political power. No political capital. Within the first 100 days in office Obama showed his penchant for the weakness of compromise, which amounted to caving in regularly to the republicans and John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, who had what the president did not. So, always Obama gutted his proposed legislation in their favor. When Obama punted the first DNC, veto-proof majority of sixty seats in the Senate since in Carter administration within mere months of taking office all dreams of Hope and Change were thus forever dashed on the rocks of political reality and presidential ineptitude. Recognizing opportunity, Israel chummed these new presidential waters within days of the February 09 inauguration, by announcing another seizure of sovereign Palestinian land for more of their settlements. Obama, having regularly assured voters that he supported a two-state solution and Americas leadership for same, now used the only remaining tool in his already emptied political toolbox to effect his US muscle. He forced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop these settlements; by bribing him with a billion dollars worth of brand new F-16 fighter jets. The result was of course predictable to anyone but Obama: Netanyahu accepted the bribe and stopped the settlements. However, within the month Netanyahu re-authored the settlements merely in a different location. As if Israel needed more US weaponry, despite being used, Obama still gave Bibi his jets. Next, Obamas promise of universal healthcare which, due to a corporate US health care monopoly and its national collusion for profit, demanded a Public Option in order to be effective in bringing costs down in a nation with the highest per-capital spending. As Obama plied for votes with multiple enticements to congresspersons and senators, he was still a few votes short. But in Montana, a senate vote was available for purchase as well as a congressional one in Idaho. Senator Jon Tester (D-Mont ) and Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho), who both understood political capital and presidential weakness stated to an impotent president exactly what the mortita would be for their vote: they wanted to kill something. Despite bringing wolves in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming back from the brink of near extinction at the hands of their states ranchers over the previous forty-plus years by having them placed on the Federal Endangered Species Act list, Tester and Simpson wanted to kill wolves. For sport. These two did not care at all that the provisions of the Act which protected the wolves also far over-compensated all US farmers and ranchers for any loss due to a very occasional hungry wolf attack on livestock. No human has been attacked by wolves in the US in over 100 years, but Tester and Simpson saw just the right time to get what they wanted. Obama, growing daily more desperate to show an already disappointed America his toughness, needed those two votes, no matter what. And so, the mortita was thus paid. The majestic wolves in all states were left to be slaughtered like so many hospitalized Palestinian children to an Israeli mortar or innocent US citizen to an Obama approved US hellfire rocket. Today, the howl of the wolf rarely sings in the valleys of Montana or Idaho. Most of them are now dead. Dead as the dreams of Hope and Change. So, again and again Obama flexed his muscles by willingly giving away the tribute demanded by republican and world leaders. Incredibly, he increasingly blamed all his failures on a divided Congress and strangely the American voter believed him. Across America the results for the voter who, not once, but twice elected him without asking the most important question in election politics were dramatic: they got virtually nothing. The corporations, however, received almost everything they asked for. In a mere ninety days the voters will again go off and show their own political impotence by voting. Again, the most important question in Presidential politics will not have been asked. Or, answered. Will Hillary Clinton rein in the banks, provide new gun restrictions, adjust student loan debt or reverse the damage of a generation of re-branded trickle-down-economics? Will Donald Trump build a wall across the southern US border, toss out all the illegal immigrants, cancel the US contract with NATO, get the Chinese government to eat from his hand, ban the Muslim world and thus make America Great Again? Sadly the obvious answer for both presidential candidates, when examined truthfully, is, NO! In this modern America where a corrupt Congress holds sway by all metrics against the voter, the most important question in presidential politics must be asked no, screamed at both candidates at every campaign rally and press conference. To make American great again, voters do not merely need a president full of promises, nor one that can take the US Congress by the balls. America needs a president who can grab them by the throat! Post election this will not happen. Back long ago, at the end of that fateful evening in Knoxville, the crowd had now gone. The bar-keep gave the now quiet bar he had long before turned down the sound one last wipe-down before crossing the bar-room floor to turn off the flickering TV mounted high on the wall. Reaching up for the switch, the silent red-white-and-blue-colored image of Obama, standing majestically before his maddening, waving minions, glowed in his face. Fools, he muttered, and turned the power off. -THE END- About The Author: Brett Redmayne-Titley has been reporting on-scene for a decade in an effort to provide better quality reporting from current events of geo-political, environmental and moral importance.

The second It would deeply concern me if selfnews Post would allow this to go As the author I will be happy to reply. You have actually acknowledged the point- thank you- that LBJ did have Political Capital and that he used it. My article was about the lack of available political capital (none I would argue) to recent presidential candidates or, once elected, their lack of willingness to try on behalf of populist opinion of the voters. This article was not about the deep state, which in Johnsons time was more ill-defined nor cohesive. I will gladly admit that Johnson had his share of puppet strings, but compared to Obama ( Reagan,Bush, Clinton, and Bush II ) his accurate record of producing populist change bares no comparison. As example I would refer you to the Northwestern/ Princeton University study of last year that certainly emphasizes my contention. If you would like to acknowledge the Deep States connection to the results of their study, you will get no argument from me. However. Since my article specifically used the Johnson example as comparison regarding the topic of Presidential power ie., Political Capital, I also left out Johnsons very poor foreign policy record, which of course led to his not running in 68, since it was not relevant to the subject or argument I was trying to present. However, by stating Johnsons connection to the subject of the Deep State, you must thus admit that he did indeed- considering his lengthy record of legislative success in the face of strong- opposition- have political capital not not used this way since.. Hence, I believe you have helped bolster my argument. Thank you. Good political discourse is vital in todays world and I thank you for your input and comment. The point you made is valid and I hope you now appreciate my position regarding this comment. Peace. Yes, didnt realize you meant extortion, bribery and murder as constituting Political Capital. Got it. Thank you. Couldnt have said it better myself. LBJ and the Dulles bros carry much of the blame for how out of control the military/industrial complex is today. The Pentagon cant account for $8 Trillion (or so). Right on. I wrote my piece before reading yours. Thanks for being educated. To compare Trump with Hillary and her record of evil is an absurdity. Trump promises to control immigration and rebuild the economy, Hillary promises 8 more years of Obama. The mainstream media has gone berserk to destroy Trump, while treating Hillary and her endless list of crimes with kid gloves. Your analysis is silly. Lets not forget, one of the very first things Johnson did when he became President after the JFK murder was to escalate the Vietnam War that JFK was against. Did he do that for the people as well? I am glad that you mentioned LBJs foreign policy record, Mr. Redmayne. His two major forays into foreign affairs were false flags: the Gulf of Tonkin affair and the strafing of the USS Liberty, ultimately resulting in the deaths of thousands American sailors and soldiers and of many more thousands of Vietnamese and constituting war crimes. His domestic victories, like those of his mentor, FDR also a waver of false flags, as in Pearl Harbor can be seen in retrospect as faux-populist bandaids that left underlying systemic problems unaddressed, and nearly as virulent today, albeit in different forms. Excuse me, but are there any points you would care to make that are actually relevant to argument presented or are you just grandstanding to show your negative views on LBJ? Perhaps you may want to re-read the article with an emphasis on comprehension.Wallow in Johnsons foreign policy if you like, but that, like your previous disingenuous comment about the DEEP State- a term not even in parlance in 64- has zero to do with this article. Since this is the second time you have missed the point perhaps you would like to showcase to the readers of the world YOUR abilities as a writer. Since you have such a single minded passion for the Deep State- I assume you are able write lucidly on the subject, but your comments so far do not indicate any specific knowledge on this subject.Feel free to send one of your own article and we will all see how you do. Thanks for sharing. You cant write for publication, if you take things so personally, Redmayne. Just write, publish and get it out there. There are a few other persons on the planet with deep knowledge and insight. You may actually learn something. Being defensive is a waste of your time. The non-representative suppressed Usurped States have been enslaved incrementally since the traitor Woodie the treasonous Wilson gave the keys of the unfed b.s bank to the current unholy owners. I was with you, Redmayne until you started extolling the unparalleled virtues of LBJ. Good grief. We know with absolute certainty that LBJ was right there at the table with Hoover/FBI, the CIA, the Mafia and Nixon at Clint Murchisons home the night before the assassination of JFK. The Senate was a mere 2 days away from impeaching LBJ for a myriad of crimes and ethical infractions. He was the one who stood to gain with JFKs death, along with his owner, Hunt. We also know the names of over 88 individuals murdered by LBJ and his cabal. He know of the hundreds of millions of farm subsidies LBJ stole for himself and his cabal. That the abuse and misuse of Taxpayer dollars by the way. Trump is not perfect by a long shot but no one can name a single person killed by orders of Trump, yet, the Clinton Crime Familys death toll is enormous, and we have 3 more people killed/assassinated by the Clintons in the past 3 months including the fellow who served the subpoena on the DNC and the Clinton/DNCs IT guy who thought he was meeting with the FBI because the Clinton crime scum was so filthy he decided to become a whistleblower. Oops, he was too naive to realize that the Clintons own the FBI, from Comey on down, and when he went to the FBI, the FBI simply turned him over to their owners, the Clinton Crime Family. You talk about Trump threatening journalists. Sorry, but the Clintons kill journalists. Get your bloody facts straight. 
2	Parents Distressed Over Michelle Obamas Visit To Childrens Hospital According to recent reports, a visit to St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital in Memphis has a group of American families outraged. The visit caused a disruption in hospital services, and a restriction on who may enter the facility to visit their sick or dying children. As if that wasnt bad enough, the First Ladys plane was delayed over an hour due to a maintenance issue, leaving many people waiting on her so that they could see their children. One mother, Katrina Deville, posted the following message on her Facebook page: Gotta love this!!! Farrah had an appointment to get a blood transfusion today at 1 pm well at 8 am we got a phone call telling us that the medicine/ER is going to be closed today so we have to reschedule her appointment to get a BLOOD TRANSFUSION because the 1st lady Michelle Obama along with secret service and media are here touring the hospital. I couldnt believe this but they also dont want us posting on our Social Network sites about whats going on. They did a complete renovation of the hospital for her arrival (I wonder who paid for all of thee new furniture, extra security, landscaping, and fancy food items they had in the cafe today)We were even told that if Farrah were able to come in today that only one of us would be able to go wit her. Farrahs mother was not alone in her complaints. Several other St. Judes parents took to social media to complain about the distressing incident. What do you think of Michelles visit? What would you have done if your child was in the hospital she was visiting? 
2	GOP Congressman: We Have The Votes To Impeach Obama Representative Blake Farenthold of Texas is claiming that Republicans have the votes in the House to impeach President Barack Obama. He claims, however, that moving forward with the action would ultimately be a fruitless effort that would damage the country. When responding to a questions about the fact that Congress didnt do more to investigate Obamas birth certificate, Farenthold said, I think unfortunately the horse is already out of the barn on this, on the whole birth certificate issue. The original Congress when his eligibility came up should have looked into this and they didnt. Im not sure how we fix it. You tie into a question I get a lot, Farenthold continued, If everybodys so unhappy with what the Presidents done, why dont you impeach him. Ill give you a real frank answer about that. If we were to impeach the President tomorrow, you could probably get the votes in the House of Representatives to do it. But it would go to the Senate and he wouldnt be convicted. To back his statement, Farenthold pointed to the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton in 1999. Clinton, too, was impeached by the House by not convicted by the Senate. He therefore remained in office for his entire term. Aside from the fact that it wouldnt be effective, I think theres some potential damage to society that would be done with a failed attempt, Farenthold concluded. What message do we send to America if we impeach Obama and he gets away with what hes impeached for and is found innocent? What do we say then is okay, the Congressman conclude. Aside from the fact that it wouldnt be effective, I think theres some potential damage to society that would be done with a failed attempt at impeachment. What do you think? Should the House try to impeach Obama? 
3	What Do We Stand For?Brandon Smith Even worse, we sometimes have to deal with misguided and biased persons that join the Liberty Movement, not to stand upon any solid fundamental principles, but who seek to impress their own twisted world views upon us as if they know better. You would think that the concept of freedom would be simple to understand and grasp, but for some, it is like plunging into a trigonometric wonderland of confusion. As the U.S., led by the Obama Administration, moves towards yet another possible war in the Middle East, using covert terrorists as proxies and enacting violent policy based on dubious or non-existent evidence and far flung accusations, I realize that with all the blathering voices out there telling us what to think, what to do, what to fear, who to admire, who to worship, how to live, and what to aspire, perhaps it is time for each of us to solemnly question what we stand for, and what America is supposed to stand for? Really, think about it. What are we here for? What purpose do we serve in the grand scheme of things? What are our defining principles? Have we lost track of ourselves as Americans so completely that we cannot even explain in a reasonable fashion what kind of people we want to be, and what kind of world we want to live in? Are we so busy squabbling with each other that we have no time to examine the foundation upon which we all rely? If this is the case, and deep down we all want a much different legacy than what is being created for us, what would this legacy be? I believe that most Americans would not argue with the following list of virtues Enduring Individualism Most Americans want to be in control of their own destinies. The sad reality though is that many Americans believe themselves to be in control of their own destinies when they are not. They believe they are informed when they are actually ignorant. They believe they are rich when they are actually poor. They believe they are self-sufficient when they are actually as helpless as newborn babies. They believe they are courageous when they are actually cowards. And, they believe they are righteous when they are actually guilty of numerous crimes against their fellow man. One cannot be an individual unless he understands himself, and his own weaknesses. True Independence Americans want to see themselves as independent and self-reliant, and yet many of us go about pursuing this independence in backwards ways. Socialists view an independent life as a gift granted by society through the tool of government. In other words, they believe that the collective is responsible for supporting and sustaining the individual, and the individual owes the collective allegiance for its efforts. Objectivists tend to treat independence as a kind of get out of jail free card, as if true individuals should only care about themselves and their posterity, and there should be no consequences for their own harmful actions. What both sides cant seem to fathom is that independence is about responsibility. Its about responsibility to ones self, to make ones own way in life without the constant aid of a nanny state. It is also about responsibility to ones inner conscience, which warns us not to maliciously violate the life and liberty of others. Whether on the Left or the Right, Americans have forgotten that real independence comes with strings attached. Decentralization Of Power At this very moment, the White House has decided whether it will unilaterally attack a foreign nation that presents absolutely no clear and present danger to the United States. In a play for limited liability and shared guilt, Obama has offered to allow Congress to vote on the decision to go to war in Syria, while stating openly that as President he has the authority to initiate an attack anyway, without its oversight. The White House is moving to strike Syria because its attempts at covert destabilization and terrorism (again, without the approval of Congress) have failed, and it is trying to erase its mistakes in a hail of missiles. Centralization of power is the exact opposite of what America was founded on. Checks and balances exist for a reason. Such measures are ingrained in the Constitution in order to ensure that our entire country is not led down a path of criminality and destruction based on the decisions of only a few men. The great allure of centralization is that each political faction within the U.S. is easily tempted by what they could do if the system was under THEIR control. Like J.R.R. Tolkiens One Ring, the Left and the Right foolishly imagine that if only the dark power of centralism was in their hands, they could use it for good. But nothing good ever comes from centralization. The ring must be destroyed forever, and decentralization is the only answer. Spiritual Freedom Americans have become increasingly schizophrenic as to what this actually means. Surely, most of us understand and agree that each individual has a right to worship as they wish, and participate in any religion they choose. The moment we begin to use government as a way to interfere in the worship of one religion, we risk one day having government used to interfere with our own religion. Sadly, this ideal has been turned on its head by some who think that spiritual concerns should be erased from government altogether. Government is not and never will be a purely objective entity, because government is made up of human beings, and human beings always bring their ideals to work. I fail to see the harm in allowing a courthouse, for instance, to post the Ten Commandments on its wall. This is an expression of a predominant spiritual ideal that ultimately harms no one. By the same token, however if one day a court in another town decided to post the precepts of Buddhism on its walls, there should be no complaints from Christians either. Unfortunately, all sides (including Atheists) seek to apply their own spiritual (or secular) views as if they are in contest with each other, and this leads to all sides attempting to use government as a weapon to enforce those views. I think the Founding Fathers, though many of them Christian, saw the great danger in religious groups battling to force their particular beliefs on each other. The Constitutional protections of religious freedom were thus designed to make spiritualism a personal, rather than political endeavor. Most of us do not wish to live in a society in which our government has been sterilized of all spiritualism, but we also refuse to live under the insanity of a theocracy. The only answer is the original answer of the Founding Fathers; to believe as we wish to believe, and to leave everyone else the hell alone. Non-Interventionism As polling appears to suggest today, many Americans are once again finally learning to embrace non-interventionism in the case of Syria, and this awakening should be encouraged further. Regardless of the rationalizations given by the establishment, freedom (if that is indeed what the White House is selling) cannot be spread by force of arms or sold like a fast food franchise. Further, we should be taking care of the liberties being eroded within our own borders before gallivanting around the globe pontificating to foreign nations about their supposed inadequacies. Constitutional Liberty Before Political Party Political parties are the bane of American life. They are the primary means by which our population is controlled and distracted. Parties are poison. When I vote, I vote for the individual representative, not his party. His party may argue that only THEY are the true purveyors of freedom. His party might argue that only THEY have my best interests at heart. His party may even argue that only THEY are honest and forthright in their platform. But, if the individual politician and his record does not reflect the promises of his party, then what they have to say is utterly meaningless. There are no lesser of two evils; there is only honorable or dishonorable, Constitutional or unconstitutional, sincere or deceitful. A Republican who breaks his oath to defend the Constitution is no more likely to gain my support than a Democrat who does the same. This is a concept that has been lost on Americans for many years now. The idea that there should be no such thing as party loyalty, only loyalty to ones own conscience, is one we need desperately to return. The dangers we face in our current era are a product of both major parties, and anyone who says otherwise is wearing debilitating blinders. As we creep closer to disaster, it is vital that we remember that at bottom the coming fight is between champions of freedom, and proponents of tyranny, whatever party they may claim membership in. I could continue for a hundred pages on the underlying structures of Constitutionalism that we still value but have been estranged from for so long. As our nation enters a new stage of social, political, and economic unrest, there may be very little left to hold onto. As I stated before, as a country, we can either reflect, or snivel. We can take action, beginning with ourselves, or we can complain (starting with others). We can stand firm in our core principles, or we can argue endlessly about the nuances and biases surrounding those principles. We can come together under the banner of freedom in the face of despotism, or, we can remain divided and conquered.

1	Highlighting increasingly dangerous conditions within the city, a new study published Monday by Northwestern Universitys Department of Environmental Studies revealed that approximately 75 percent of the air in Chicago is now composed of bullets. Far exceeding the levels of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and even oxygen, bullets now constitute three-fourths of Chicagos air supply, said atmospheric scientist and study co-author John Molina, stressing that the dense and widespread deposits of jacketed lead and copper in the air pose severe and potentially fatal health risks to all Chicago residents. According to our measurements, the proportion of bullets in Chicagos overall air composition is significantly higher than that of other cities with comparable sizes and population densities. Frankly, if this trend continuesand there is unfortunately little evidence suggesting otherwiseliving safely within the confines of Chicago will be almost impossible. Molina went on to suggest that Chicagos 2.7 million residents stay indoors whenever possible in order to minimize their exposure. 
1	DARLINGTON, SCAccording to loud reports from within the Kaminsky household Tuesday, if area father Russell Kaminsky steps on one more goddamn Lego, man, forget about it. 'Gaaaaaaaaaa!' shouted Kaminsky, grimacing as he extracted a blue, two-peg Lego brick from his right instep. 'I've told you a hundred times. This is it, this is the last warning: I step on one more Lego, and no one will ever step on another Lego in this house ever again, I promise.' Observers are questioning Kaminsky's willingness to actually follow through on the threat, citing his failure to deliver on his Lincoln Logs ultimatum of last March. 
1	An actual urgent message from actor Robert Redford, whose mass-mailed call to action on behalf of the Natural Resources Defense Council reached millions of Americans last year, went unheeded last week by its lone recipient, Michael Sanborne of Marsing, ID. A stack of Sanborne's unopened mail. 'MICHAEL, I'm asking for your help to stop the robbery and possible destruction of one of America's most treasured human resourcesactor Robert Redford,' read the message typed on NRDC letterhead. 'At this very moment, two or more men are holding me captive within my office in order to further their profit-motivated agenda to strip my home of its valuable assets and leave me with nothingperhaps not even my life.' 'At this desperate hour, my hands are tied,' the letter continued. 'My office phone lines have been cut. By gnawing through my gag and inching my chair along the floor, I have been able to reach my computer, turn it on using my nose, and activate my ViaVoice speech-recognition typing software. However, my time is limited, and I have managed to successfully stick only one adhesive-backed, mass-mailing address label to an envelope. MICHAEL, it is not yet too late to prevent the extinction of noble, majestic Robert Redford, if only you act now!' The letter Redford (below) sent to Sanborne. Sanborne received the legal-sized envelope, marked as 'An Urgent Message From Robert Redford,' on March 22, but put it aside to be opened along with his bills. The Marsing resident justified his delay, explaining that he did not initially notice that the envelope was rumpled as if by careless handling, and was scrawled over with the words 'HELP ME,' 'DANGER,' and 'PLS CALL PLICE [sic].' Sanborne, who speculated that Redford had penned the envelope's capital-letter pleas with a red magic marker held between his teeth, finally read the time-sensitive letter Monday. Redford is the author of millions of urgent letters seeking support for the halt of oil drilling in the Alaskan Arctic National Wildlife Reserve. In his letter to Sanborne, however, his message of environmental preservation was replaced by one of Redfordian preservation. 'Fellow Lover of Robert Redford: No one voted on Election Day to destroy the body, mind, and life of Robert Redford,' the fourth page of the letter read. 'But now, armed assailants are claiming a mandate to do exactly that! MICHAEL, please understand that without the natural resources Robert Redford requires to sustain himself, this noble creature will soon perish.' Sanborne, a 42-year-old contractor, said he is unsure why Redford chose to contact him in particular. 'I made a $40 donation to the Sierra Club in 1998,' Sanborne said. 'I must've wound up on some mailing list, because now I get a lot of letters with photos of polar bears and wolves on them,' Sanborne said. 'They all say 'urgent,' but I guess this one actually was.' 'Too bad I'm probably too late to do anything,' Sanborne added. 'Otherwise, I might have gotten out my checkbook and sent him a few bucks.' Redford's urgent, unheeded letter ended: 'If we let them plunder Robert Redford's home for the sake of profits, then no piece of our natural heritage is safe from destruction. Pleaseit will take you only a minutego to 12 Ocean View Drive in Malibu and untie Robert Redford from his bonds, MICHAEL. Only through your efforts can we keep Robert Redford wild and free.' Redford, whom California authorities say has not been seen in public for the last three weeks, is presumed dead. 
3	Forging Reality: The New Manhattan Chemtrail Project Information WarBy Peter A. Kirby This paper examines the historical and ongoing psychological warfare campaign lodged against the American people designed to simultaneously occlude and legitimize the New Manhattan Project. This paper examines the New Manhattan Projects information war. If you do not know what the New Manhattan Project is, please refer to the authors previous article Chemtrails Exposed: A History of the New Manhattan Project. The New Manhattan Project is built upon a foundation of lies; chief among them is the theory of man-made global warming. Large-scale fear mongering about an out-of-control climate goes back to 1965 and has served as the rationalization for this global weather control project. The origins of the theory of anthropogenic (man-made) global warming are the origins of this coordinated disinformation campaign. The first high-level document to assert the modern theory of man-made global warming was a little something called Restoring the Quality of Our Environment. This Orwellian 1965 report, written by the Environmental Pollution Panel of the Presidents Science Advisory Committee, explains how CO2 emitted by man is causing global warming and therefore we may need to inject small particles into the atmosphere in order to cool the planet. Injecting small particles into the atmosphere to cool the planet is todays Solar Radiation Management (SRM) geoengineering thesis. This is the thesis that calls for spraying toxic chemicals from airplanes. The document reads: The climatic changes that may be produced by the increased CO2 content could be deleterious from the point of view of human beings. The possibilities of deliberately bringing about countervailing climatic changes therefore need to be thoroughly explored. A change in the radiation balance in the opposite direction to that which might result from the increase of atmospheric CO2 could be produced by raising the albedo, or reflectivity, of the earth. Such a change in albedo could be brought about, for example by spreading very small reflecting particles over large oceanic areas. The particles should be sufficiently buoyant so that they will remain close to the sea surface and they should have a high reflectivity, so that even a partial covering of the surface would be adequate to produce a marked change in the amount of reflected sunlight. Rough estimates indicate that enough particles partially to cover a square mile could be produced for for perhaps one hundred dollars. Thus a 1% change in reflectivity might be brought about for about 500 million dollars a year, particularly if the reflecting particles were spread in low latitudes, where the incoming radiation is concentrated. Considering the extraordinary economic and human importance of climate, costs of this magnitude do not seem excessive. An early development of the needed technology might have other uses, for example in inhibiting the formation of hurricanes in tropical oceanic areas. According to Manabe and Strickler (1964) the absorption and re-radiation of infrared by high cirrus clouds (above five miles) tends to heat the atmosphere near the earths surface. Under some circumstances, injection of condensation or freezing nuclei will cause cirrus clouds to form at high altitudes. This potential method of bringing about climatic changes needs to be investigated as a possible tool for modifying atmospheric circulation in ways which might counteract the effects of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide. Note how at the end of the first paragraph, the authors state that injecting small particles into the atmosphere can not only save us from global warming, but also achieve weather modification. The truth is softly spoken. To this day, the theory of man-made global warming is being used as the rationalization for SRM geoengineering programs. It is being used as the rationalization for spraying stuff out of airplanes. Once this simple deception was established, the information war began. Two years later, in the pages of the 1967 National Science Foundations ninth annual weather modification report, we find an early example. It reads: ESSA [Environmental Science Services Administration] is also investigating the effect of cirrus clouds on the radiation budget of the atmosphere by studying aircraft-produced contrails which often spread into cirrus layers covering considerable fractions of the sky. One technique proposed for modifying lower cloud development has been the generation of a high level cirrus deck with jet aircraft. By intercepting solar radiation at high altitude it may be possible to influence larger scale cloud development elsewhere by reducing solar input and reducing convective cloud generation in areas where they are not needed. Note how the authors of this report misrepresent chemtrails as contrails. Before 1967, the National Science Foundation (NSF) was not saying this. This is a psychological warfare tactic. They are trying to make us believe that an apple is an orange. If a lie is repeated often enough and with enough conviction, people will believe it. This is what the authors of this passage are counting on. As we will see, this lie has been repeated ad nauseam. ESSA is the predecessor to todays National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). A little later in that same NSF report, it reads that their computer atmospheric simulations, or models as they call them, might simulate, producing high-level cirrus cloud cover over an area by means of jet aircraft, inserting particulate matter into the upper atmosphere to alter the solar radiation balance and the like. A 1970 paper, again originating from the Environmental Science Services Administration (ESSA), provided another early example. The author, P.M. Kuhn writes: The spreading out of jet contrails into extensive cirrus sheets is a familiar sight. In the most common case, when persistent conditions exist from twenty-five to forty thousand feet, a few long contrails increase in number and gradually merge into an almost solid white sheet. Kuhn continues: From a descriptive point of view contrail development and spreading commonly begins in the morning hours as heavy jet traffic commences and finally extends from horizon to horizon as the air traffic peaks. Conveniently for Mr. Kuhn, this paper was not peer reviewed or refereed. Even though our militarys use of weather modification to flood out the enemys main supply route in Vietnam has since been declassified, the Secretary of Defense swore that he knew otherwise. In other words, he lied about it. Let us reference a brief passage from the 1978 Congressional Research Service report: During an April 1972 appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Secretary of Defense Laird was questioned by both Senator Pell and Senator Fullbright about rainmaking in Vietnam. The Secretary said: We have never engaged in that type of activity over North Vietnam. In 1977 the Weather Modification Advisory Board expounded upon a familiar line of bull. Their authors wrote, Introducing contrails in selective regions of the atmosphere can produce cirrus clouds, to keep heat in or out of an area. 1977 was also the year that the term geoengineering was introduced in the premiere edition of the journal Climatic Change. The late 1970s was when todays SRM geoengineering thesis began taking a firm foothold. In 1987, the World Meteorological Organization and the British Royal Air Force cast this self-explanatory abomination out upon the Earth: A 1999 report by the United Nations World Meteorological Organization and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change titled Aviation and the Global Atmosphere bolstered lies about contrails by stating that they can form cirrus clouds. In 2000, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) along with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), NOAA, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) compromised themselves by releasing a report titled EPA Aircraft Contrails Factsheet. In this report, they tell lies about how contrails, last for hours while growing to several kilometers in width and 200 to 400 meters in height. This report included the image below, of course, informing us that the emissions pictured consist only of harmless water vapor. A 2001 paper appearing in the Journal of Geophysical Research says that contrail clusters cause radiative forcing (the SRM geoengineering thesis) and, mature into diffuse cloudiness. The authors write: Clusters of spreading, persistent contrails sometimes form in heavy air-traffic regions when the warm exhaust emissions from subsonic jet aircraft mix with cold and relatively moist ambient air in the upper troposphere. Time series of satellite imagery have shown that these clusters can develop into large regions of cirrus-like cloudiness [Minnis et al., 1998a], which may affect climate by modifying the atmospheric radiative budget. As contrails are ice clouds, they have radiative effects that are similar to thin cirrus clouds [Fu and Liou, 1993] and may have significant regional climatic impacts [Liou et al., 1990]. The British government has released a couple of official statements telling us that chemtrails do not exist. This is from the same government that in 2009 proposed SRM geoengineering and in 2010 produced a joint report with the U.S. House of Representatives advocating geoengineering regulation. NASA has a web page dedicated to brainwashing children. At the top of the page it reads, Contrail Watching for Kids. Alongside a picture of a chemtrail-laden sky, the text reads: Contrails are long clouds made by high-flying aircraft. Because kids are so good at watching clouds, they can easily be taught to identify contrails. That is enough to make one a little nauseous, isnt it? Theyre coming for our kids. For those with strong stomachs, here is the link. Our friends at NASA were providing disinformation once again when they presented the image below with a caption that described the many chemtrails as, contrails, cirrus clouds created by airplanes. They must think that we are too ignorant and stupid to realize that these lines in the sky are not following routine flight paths. Since the 1946 media explosion celebrating the pioneering weather modification efforts of three General Electric scientists, airplanes spraying stuff have made regular mainstream media appearances. Today, the persistent lines in the sky left behind by airplanes are woven into the mainstream medias fabric. What is presented here is but a small sampling. The 1959 Disney short educational film Eyes in Outer Space: A Science-factual Presentation was made in cooperation with the Department of Defense. The famous conventional weather modifier Irving P. Krick served as a technical consultant. This movie depicts men in Lawrence Livermore National Labs a global weather center controlling the weather with drone aircraft. As a plane flies across the screen emitting a trail, the narrator says, Robot planes seed the clouds from above. These robot planes are then depicted saving us all from a nasty hurricane by spraying stuff into it. Here is an edited version: The 2008 feature film Toxic Skies starring Anne Heche is a fictional drama involving chemtrails. In the 2012 Denzel Washington movie Flight, chemtrails were presented. The Topps Company, famous for its baseball cards, produced a 2013 series of cards called Curious Cases. One of the cards in the set was about chemtrails. Here is the front of the card: The back of the chemtrails card reads: CHEMTRAILS THOSE BILLOWING WATER VAPOR STREAMS BEHIND AN AIRPLANE ARE ACTUALLY BIOLOGICAL AGENTS BEING DISPERSED BY VARIOUS GOVERNMENTS FOR UNDISCLOSED REASONS (POSSIBLY MIND OR POPULATION CONTROL). AT LEAST THATS THE ALLEGATION BY CONSPIRACY THEORISTS. A Sept. 24, 2013 Guardian article about geoengineering featured a photo of one of the observable effects of todays chemtrail spraying operations; a sun dog. They may as well have presented a photograph of chemtrails criss-crossing the sky. The February 22, 2016 episode of The X-Files titled My Struggle II featured a storyline involving an outbreak of a mass pandemic caused by chemtrails combined with microwave electromagnetic energy. Chemtrails are consistently appearing in all types of advertisements. GeoengineeringWatch.org has a good article about it here. Chemtrails have been drawn into video games. Here are a couple of examples; one from a Lego video game and another from Grand Theft Auto: Our armed services are also getting in on the act. Here is a webpage from the Office of Naval Research depicting chemtrails: It figures. Because Navy research has been instrumental in the development of technologies used in todays New Manhattan Project and is probably to this day involved. In the first section, we saw many lies coming, in a one way conversation, from the establishment. The advent of the Internet has created a new dynamic, though. Now the average citizen gets to talk back. For when this talkback disagrees with the establishment position, new ways of squelching dissent have been developed. President Obamas former administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Cass R. Sunstein co-wrote a 2008 paper titled Conspiracy Theories. Referring to theories about the 9/11 attacks, global warming, the Apollo moon missions, and many others, Sunstein and his co-author wrote that conspiracy theories can be very dangerous and must be dealt with. In stead of outright censorship, the co-authors opted for cognitive infiltration; a.k.a. psychological warfare. The authors write: Government agents (and their allies) might enter chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine percolating conspiracy theories by raising doubts about their factual premises, causal logic or implications for political action. Let us not forget that our federal governments official position is that chemtrails do not exist and that the New Manhattan Project is a conspiracy theory. A series of 2014 articles by Glenn Greenwald and others revealed documents, procured by Edward Snowden, showing how the British Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) has been running Internet psychological warfare operations against American citizens. The outward manifestation of these operations are the myriad of disinformation artists which almost always (sometimes immediately) pop up when anyone dares question the persistent trails in the sky or anything else the establishment doesnt want you to know about. Sock puppets (also known as shills and trolls) are the dastardly and diabolical creatures that almost invariably crawl out of the Internets woodwork when one asserts that chemtrails are real. They have many different modes of operation and infest comments sections, forums, and disinformation websites. Many or most are probably computers; i.e. artificial intelligence. Although trolls employ many tactics, the most prevalent involve attempts to discredit sources and information. Incessant attacks upon an individuals or organizations character and credibility are used when the quality of the information coming from either cannot be impugned. The thinking goes that if one can discredit the source, than any other information produced by that source is also invalid; even if the other information produced by that source is unassailable. Trolls also build straw men in attempts to discredit information. A straw man is built by picking out a small aspect of a larger body of information and attempting to discredit that particular little bit. The thinking goes that if one small part of a larger body of information can be discredited, than all of the larger body is also discredited. Many trolls are not Human at all. Way back in the early 1970s, people were communicating with computers. Not only that, but computer scientists at Stanford and UCLA were conducting wholly computerized correspondence between two computers over the ARPANET (the precursor to todays Internet). Today, this technology is commonplace. To have bots automatically responding is probably simple and cost-effective; therefore desirable and prevalent. The robotic manner in which computerized sock puppets respond often reveals their hand. In February of this year (2016), Infowars published an article titled Backing Infowars May Soon Be Considered Material Support of Terrorism. In this article, Kurt Nimmo outlines the U.S. governments latest moves to crack down on those who dare to criticize our federal gods. Here is a link. This is quite chilling when considering that your author has been compared to the domestic terrorists hereby singled-out. In a March 14, 2015 article, the Christian Science Monitor (of all outlets) published a piece titled EPA Debunks Chemtrails, Further Fueling Conspiracy Theories. Here is a link. In this article, even though I have no criminal record, your author is compared to a married couple named Jerad and Amanda Miller who shot and killed three people including two police officers at a Las Vegas Wal-Mart before being killed themselves. This is a classic attempt to discredit the source and possibly set him up. Thats not very Christian of them now, is it? It is probably the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) running the New Manhattan Projects cover. They have been there since the beginning. The CIAs involvement in the worlds media is well documented. They have been domestically targeting American citizens. They have a history of climate change research and related fear mongering. Not only all that, but the CIA has owned, operated, and provided cover for large, clandestine aircraft operations involving weather modification. In a previous article titled Death from Above: The New Manhattan Project Chemtrail Fleet, the author documented some of the CIAs proprietary airlines; chief among them Air America. As recounted in the article, Chris Robbins book Air America documents a CIA proprietary airline, Civil Air Transport, conducting weather modification operations. Air America also describes how the CIA provided cover for their proprietary airlines by producing untraceable aircraft. These skills would come in handy when providing cover for the hundreds of aircraft necessarily involved in todays New Manhattan Project. At least one of the co-authors of the aforementioned 1965 White House document establishing both the theory of man-made global warming and todays Solar Radiation Management (SRM) geoengineering theses had connections to the CIA. That co-author was none other than our good friend Gordon J.F. How to Wreck the Environment MacDonald. His National Academy of Sciences obituary reads: Gordon chaired the MEDEA Committee (initially the Environmental Task Force) of the Central Intelligence Agency, a brainchild of Senator (later Vice-President) Gore for the application of overhead assets, that is, information collected by intelligence satellites, to the solution of environmental problems. Here the intelligence and academic communities, two disparate communities meeting initially under conditions of mutual mistrust, developed over the years a feeling of trust and respect. Gordon was at his best, combining his unique environmental background with patience and perseverance. In 1994 the CIA presented Gordon with the Seal Medallion, the highest civilian honor of the agency. As if we could forget, Al Gore has been the most prominent proponent of the theory of man-made global warming and how we need to sacrifice our quality of life because of it. This information suggests that MacDonald was instrumental in the development of the New Manhattan Projects satellite remote sensing needs. For more about the NMPs satellite remote sensing operations, please see the authors previous article C4: Command, Control, Communications, and Computers of the New Manhattan Chemtrail Project. For more about the infamous Gordon J.F., please see the authors previous article MITRE: Architects of the New Manhattan Chemtrail Project? The CIAs MEDEA (Measurements of Earth Data for Environmental Analysis) Committee, of which Mr. MacDonald was a member, existed from 1992-2001. According to a Jan. 4, 2010 New York Times article, the MEDEA Committee was resurrected as a CIA backed, National Academy of Sciences run environmental remote sensing program. Five years later, the Washington Times and Mother Jones reported that this program had, once again, been shut down. The CIA has been commanding the mainstream media for a long time. Operation Mockingbird is a CIA program that began in the late 1940s as a way to influence foreign populations. It has since been turned upon the domestic American population. The operation was initially overseen by Allen Dulles and we have no reason to believe that it does not continue to this day. Former Village Voice reporter Deborah Davis quoted a CIA analyst when she reported that, in the early 1950s, the CIA, through Operation Mockingbird owned 400-600 journalists at The New York Times, Newsweek, CBS, and other organizations. Of course, the foreign operations thundered along as well. The CIA exerts extraordinary influence over the press. In his meticulously researched book Virtual Government: CIA Mind Control Operations in America, Alex Constantine writes: The cost of disinforming the world cost American taxpayers an estimated $265 million a year by 1978, a budget larger than the combined expenditures of Reuters, UPI and the AP news syndicates. In 1977, the New York Times ran a front-page story detailing a worldwide propaganda effort, with direct CIA ownership of some 50 newspapers in the U.S. and elsewhere. In this next passage from Virtual Government, we see similar disinformation tactics as those outlined in the previous section. Mr. Constantine writes: One CIA dispatch, dated April 1, 1967, declassified nine years later under FOIA [Freedom of Information Act], advised planted assets in the media on Countering Criticism of the Warren Report. Features and book reviews are particularly appropriate for this purpose, the CIA dispatch observed. Strategies to answer and refute critics of the governments investigation of the JFK murder included accusations that they were financially interested, hasty and inaccurate in their research, infatuated with their own theories, and wedded to theories adopted before the evidence was in. The CIAs mouthpieces in the press were directed to emphasize: No significant new evidence has emerged, there is no agreement among the critics, or the ever-popular, Conspiracy on the large scale often suggested would be impossible to conceal. As they attempt to throw us off the scent of todays New Manhattan Project, chemtrail shills follow these same directives. Pulitzer Prize winner Carl Bernstein wrote a 1977 article titled The CIA and the Media supporting Constantines findings. Here is a link to Bernsteins complete article. David Rockefeller was apparently talking about the CIAs media operations when, at a 1991 Bilderberg meeting, he said: We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 yearsIt would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries. Evidence exists that the CIAs activities in this area continue to this day. Respected German journalist Udo Ulfkotte PhD was interviewed in 2014 saying that he got tired of publishing articles under his name, written by CIA agents. He wrote a book about it titled Gekaufte Journalisten (Bought Journalists). An English version of his book with the title of Journalists for Hire: How the CIA Buys the News is scheduled for June 1, 2016. One can pre-order a copy here. Not only have they been running the media, but the CIA has been promoting paranoia about the Earths temperature for a long time. The 1974, CIA produced report titled A Study of Climatological Research as it Pertains to Intelligence Problems fear mongers incessantly about climate fluctuations and weather. They report on recent examples of extreme weather and the resultant death and destruction as evidence for a long-term shift in Earths climate which they call the climate change. Maybe they should have made a horror movie by that title. The authors of A Study of Climatological Research go on to state that the combination of the climate change and Earths growing Human population is a recipe for disaster. They write that the crop failures due to the climate change are destabilizing governments all over the world. They write that destabilization of governments can cause war. The authors write: Timely forecasting of climate and its impact on any nation is vital to the planning and execution of U.S. policy on social, economic, and political issues. The new climatic era brings a promise of famine and starvation to many areas of the world. The resultant unrest caused by the mass movement of peoples across borders as well as the attendant intelligence questions cannot be met with existing analytical tools. In addition, the Agency will be faced with tracing and anticipating climate modification undertaken by a country to relieve its own situation at the detriment of the United States. The implication of such a modification must be carefully assessed. You guessed it. They need more funding. This report appears to be the fount of the wildly reaching assumptions pervasive among global warming alarmists today claiming: famine, disease, mass-migrations, war and Humanitys extinction all due to global warming. A small problem for todays global warming cult members, though, is the fact that this early example of climate change delusion concerned itself with global cooling, not global warming. If one tries hard enough, anything can be made to appear as a problem. In 2008, the CIA contributed to a standard global warming scare-fest titled National Intelligence Assessment on the National Security Implications of Global Climate Change to 2030. At least this time the authors of the report didnt foresee state failure. We have something to be thankful for. In 2015, CNS News and Mother Jones reported that CIA director John Brennan was regurgitating nonsense about all the impending doom sure to come from Earths temperature fluctuations and how he is so concerned. He really cares so much. He probably got to the top of the CIA by being such a caring individual. Lastly, the CIA, funded a study resulting in the 2015 National Academy of Sciences report titled Climate Intervention: Reflecting Sunlight to Cool Earth. This study was also supported by some of the usual suspects: the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Department of Energy. In Climate Intervention the authors cite the discredited Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) data to assert that global waring is occurring. Then they write that the topic of SRM geoengineering needs more research and, without admitting that anything like it is currently taking place, they present SRM geoengineering as a potential solution. If one has read scores of these types of documents, one recognizes this standard line of bull immediately. We are not alone. Not everyone works for the CIA. Millions of people worldwide are fully chemtrail aware and speaking out. Many other, more influential individuals have voiced concern and taken action as well. Along with some government and other organizations, at least scores of famous and notable people have been speaking out against chemtrails and geoengineering. The examples listed here are undoubtedly a partial list. Ted Gunderson (1928-2011), the former head of the Los Angeles, Dallas and Memphis FBI claims to have witnessed huge, unmarked chemtrail spraying planes on the ground at the Lincoln, Nebraska Air National Guard facilities. He also said that chemtrail spraying planes operate out of Fort Sill, Oklahoma. U.S. congressman Dennis Kucinich used the word chemtrails in proposed national legislation. The word appeared in the Space Preservation Act of 2001. The National legislation did not pass, but on September 10, 2002 the City Council of Berkeley, California, in support of Congressman Kucinichs Space Preservation Act, enacted Resolution #61744 declaring the space 60 kilometers and above Berkeley as a space-based weapons-free zone. On September 14th, Congressman Kucinich was officially presented the resolution by Council member Dona Spring, who initiated the resolution before 700 people in Wheeler Auditorium. The audience gave Kucinich and Spring a standing ovation. In 2007, Dutch parliamentarian Erik Meijer raised the issue with the European Parliament. The European Parliament of course responded that contrails persist and that chemtrails do not exist. There has been formal discussion of chemtrails in the New Zealand Parliament. Former Canadian Prime Minister (1986-1991) Bill Vander Zalm has repeatedly spoken out against chemtrails. Multi-term Arizona state senator Karen Johnson has been an outspoken critic. A former member of the United States Air Force has testified to the fact that strange materials were being brought on base presumably for the replenishment of chemtrail spraying airplanes. Kristen Meghans job at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma was to monitor all materials coming in and going out. She says that anomalous containers coming on base contained the main chemtrail ingredients: aluminum, barium and strontium. In 2012, former Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney spoke out. Here is a video: On July 3, 2013, Arizona state senator Sylvia Allen posted a note on her Facebook page indicating that she thinks for herself. She is a very dangerous woman. Here is a link. In October of 2013, a Canadian MP by the name of Alex Atamanenko presented to the Canadian parliament a petition signed by over 1,000 people outlining concerns about chemtrails. On June 25, 2014 the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality held a public hearing about geoengineering and chemtrails. The meeting was sponsored by state Senator Kelli Ward. At an August 5, 2014 meeting of the Shasta County, CA board of supervisors, chemtrails were on the agenda. 300 people attended. Dozens testified. The supervisors voted to open an investigation into chemtrails and geoengineering and to send their findings to appropriate government agencies. Former Marin County Board of Supervisors, District 1 Representative Susan Adams has voiced interest in chemtrail legislation, stating, I will continue to monitor your efforts and if there is federal legislation or regulation being considered which the county can send a letter of support for, please let me know. Eleventh Senatorial District California state Senator Mark Leno recognizes chemtrails. He responded to my letter about chemtrails by stating, Thank you for writing to share the information on chemtrails. I appreciate your taking the time to voice your concerns regarding this important issue. As we begin to learn more about chemtrails and begin to have more in depth conversations about their use, I will keep the information you have forwarded in mind. A Dec., 2014 video published by Dane Wigington titled Geoengineering Dangers Discussed by Officials, Agency Scientists and Other Experts provides a wealth of information. In this video, among other speakers, we hear from a former American Airlines commercial airline pilot by the name of Jeff Nelson who testifies to the fact that jet airplane exhaust does not persist. He says that contrails dissipate quickly. That means that these lines in the sky, often stretching from horizon to horizon, are not normal contrails. Also in the video, a Shasta County, CA supervisor by the name of Bill Schappell recognizes geoengineering as an ongoing, secret operation. On May 19, 2015 the City of Richmond, CA adopted a resolution in support of the Space Preservation Act and the Space Preservation Treaty to symbolically ban space-based weapons. The Space Preservation Act is the previously noted 2001 Kucinich sponsored federal legislation which used the word chemtrail. In December of 2015, a member of the Saudi royal family, Princess Basmah Bint Saud went public with her concerns. A North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) commander by the name of Fabio Mini and a member of the Italian parliament by the name of Sandro Brandini have gone public. Russia Today and Geoengineering Watch come through with the video: The Cypriot government is taking action. Due to many complaints, Agriculture Minister Kouyialis has ordered an official investigation. The Rhode Island house of representatives is currently considering a bill titled The Climate Geoengineering Act of 2016. If passed, this bill will outlaw SRM geoengineering over the state of Rhode Island and provide penalties for violations. Along with links to the bill itself, Geoengineering Watch has all the latest information here: *** Quite a few famous musicians have spoken out. Beck released a 2008 song titled Chemtrails. The lyrics read like this: So many people In 2009, musician Prince spoke out about chemtrails on the Tavis Smiley Show. In 2010, Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins took time out from one of his live performances to point out the toxic death smoke in the sky. Here is the video: In a 2011 song titled What I Hate, country music legend Merle Haggard sings, What I hate is looking up and seeing chemtrails in a clear blue sky today. The song is available on YouTube: The rock and roll band Cake is apparently chemtrail aware. Lyrics from multiple songs indicate awareness. Their 2001 song Comfort Eagle goes like this: And the fluffy white lines Their 2004 ditty Wheels informs us: In a wooden boat in the shipping lanes Lastly, Cakes 2011 release Easy to Crash states: Clouds hung hugely and oppressively *** A shill online once challenged your author to find any doctors or PhDs who have spoken out against chemtrails and geoengineering. At the time, I really wasnt aware of any. Since that fateful day, I have been compiling a list. To whomever that pathetic creature was: thank you for making us stronger. With plenty more on the way, here is the list: Lenny Thyme PhD, Dr. Russell L. Blaylock, Ann Fillmore PhD, Leuren Moret PhD, Dr. Bill Deagle, Dr. Joseph Puleo, Dr. Rosalie Bertell, Dr. Stephen D. McKay, Dr. Patrick Flanagan, Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz, Dr. Eric Karlstrom, Dr. Leonard A. Cole, Dr. Betty Martini, Dr. Thomas E. Bearden, Dr. Edward Group, Dr. Ilya Sandra Perlingieri, Dr. Sherry Tenpenny, Dr. Rima E. Laibow, Dr. Lorraine Hurley, J. Marvin Herndon PhD, Dr. Steven Amato, Dr. Ted Broer, Dr. Stephen Davis, Dr. Barrie Trower, Dr. Hamid Rabiee, Cynthia McKinney PhD Dr. R. Michael Castle Let history remember the people who had enough common sense to recognize the obvious and enough guts to tell the truth. When the New Manhattan Project is dead and gone, let the people who spoke out against it prosper. If youve ever wondered from whence the theory of man-made global warming came, then wonder no more. The theory of man-made global warming was invented and has been perpetuated as a cover story for the New Manhattan Project. Let that sink in real good. You heard it here first, folks. All the lies told by all the medias and all the governments of the world pertaining to global warming are cover for the greatest scientific endeavor in Human history. The first planetary level scientific endeavor is so huge that it needs a cover story this big. Many socio-economic agendas like the United Nations Agenda 21 and cap-and-trade have been piggybacked upon it, but the original impetus for the lie is the New Manhattan Project. In 1965, when traitorous and illegitimate elements of our federal government released the document titled Restoring the Quality of Our Environment, simultaneously establishing both the theory of man-made global warming and the SRM geoengineering theses, that was the beginning of the lie. This lie about global warming served and serves as the justification for spraying megatons of toxic garbage over Humanity and the Earths biota. This lie was needed as justification for the visible aspects of the planned New Manhattan Project. Let us not forget that the above noted document came out of the executive branch of the federal government and that the CIA is designed to serve the executive branch. In the New Manhattan Project, this article you are reading has shown the CIAs pervasive involvement. The CIA probably concocted the theory of man-made global warming. Consider the implications of this. Consider how almost all of the environmental movements and organizations in the Western world have been folded into this grand deception. Consider the countless millions of people who have marched in the street, in a satanic orgy, demanding the Earths (and their own) destruction. Consider all the money that has been donated to perpetuate this treachery. Consider all the fools who have forsaken and attacked their fellow man because he did not want to be destroyed. The establishment has had all these people thinking that they are doing a good turn, all the while these people have been supporting everybodys and everythings utter destruction. In the church of global warming, there is an altar beneath the pulpit. If you still espouse the theory of man-made global warming, and are not completely nihilistic and selfish, please relinquish your dogma. Were all being murdered and most of us really dont want to be killed. Heck, most of us dont even want a reduction in our quality of life. Its not necessary. This is what happens when we let a vampire into our house. Death is what happens when enough people believe the big global warming lie. Peter A.

Please log in to up-vote comments left by actual people while down-voting those left by the dastardly and diabolical shills. Thank you. Interesting that the historic photo from 45 gives the impression that exactly the same technology they were using then is still in use to deploy the trails today. I bet the only difference is that todays planes are automated. I dont want to attack Dane. Hes doing great work. Im puzzled as to his views on global warming. Hes on my email list and has been republishing some of my articles, so he will probably read this. The fact that BOTH the theory of man-made global warming AND the SRM geoengineering theses were introduced to the world IN THE SAME DOCUMENT might be enough to change his mind. Right on, please dont mistake my comment as anything but puzzlement concerning his AGW belief, he does great work and is an important voice in spreading the chemtrail danger message. As is yours. He definitely does more good than harm, by a mile. Thanks. I cant agree that Dane is doing great work when he uses disinformation as propaganda. In the latest example Dane read from a hoax article posted on the Internet Chronicle, that alleged Edward Snowden had claimed Geoengineering was intended as a benevolent operation to fight global warming. Im not the only one who sees Dane as using the chemtrails issue to promote the UN/IPCC version of climate change I want to begin my short post by saying that I agree with the author on two things: 1) there is likely something going on regarding the issue of a secret project that involves long contrails/chemtrails spraying from aircraft; 2) that the CIA (et al so-called security agencies/military) uses the mainstream media to regularly post propaganda and especially disinformation in order to manipulate public opinion and peoples consciousness, and this has applied to the issue here discussed; and 3) and finally, that the potential secret project has anything to do with fighting global warming, which I agree with the author, that that it does not and that this is disinformation. However, I want to disagree with one of the main thrust of the authors argument and that is that global warming isnt real; global warming is real its happening the Arctic ice is So far SRM in Cali has produced warming, drought and death.. I havent experienced the cooling effect as of yet. Yes, what they say it does is the exact opposite of what it actually does. Restoring the Quality of Our Environment right? Welcome to 1984. The environment is in decline due to corporate pollution, not CO2. The emphasis on climate change is a deception to imply that all the problems with the environment will be fixed if we can control CO2. Meanwhile, fracking, Fukushima wars and oil spills will destroy the environment before the sea level rises another inch. This huge blind spot is a dangerous form of political correctness that will bring nothing but inaction on environmental issues and promote more illegal wars to satisfy consumer demand for all the things that are really killing us. Animal Agriculture? #cowspiracy Im happy to see you used my public domain Climate Change Console as your featured image. One of my best if I say so, myself. Its good to hear from you, Harold. That illustration is awesome! The editor at selfnews Post chose it, though. The endless spraying that has been going on in my area ( Newcastle NSW, Australia) is the worst I have witnessed. We are still getting very hot and extremely humid weather in autumn and I fear they are causing a pressure system to build. Same thing happened last year around this time and the resultant storm nearly destroyed the city. The spraying activity has been far worse this year, however, and this time around I feel certain the storms will be worse too. Last year they warned that the really bad storms are going to get a lot worse. How do they know this when they cant even predict the weather day to day? Cheers Aerosols are forcing drought but they also inhibit transpirational cooling when conditions become unnaturally dry. Loss of transpiration adds another dimension of heat intensification beyond the mechanism of simple net warming via nocturnal cloud-cover. Dane recently read from a hoax article posted on the Internet Chronicle, that alleged Edward Snowden had claimed Geoengineering was intended as a benevolent operation to fight global warming. Im not the only one who sees Dane as using the chemtrails issue to promote the UN/IPCC version of climate change Well the fact that I never believed those white lines could be chemtrails until I came across Danes website is testimony to the fact that he is doing something right.. Maybe he like Edward Snowden is a faux truther? Anyway, I still dont buy into the whole climate change thing, but we do have to stop polluting and using fossil fuels for the simple reason that it is disrespectful to the earth and to each other. NASA never a straight answer is probably nothing more than an expansive and expensive movie set. I agree! Nice article. But there is an error regarding Bill Vanderzalm. He was not the Prime Minister of Canada. He was the Premiere of a Province of Canada called British Columbia Ok, thank you. The correction has been made. See, this is a group effort. Good job.

2	This Student Is Auctioning Off Her Virginity And The Bids Are Outlandish [SEE PHOTOS] Elizabeth Raine, a 28-year-old medical student is selling her virginity to the highest bidder through an online auction and the bids are out of control. She just recently posted pictures showing her face, to show how serious she really is. According to reports the highest bid is at $550,000. Raine has admitted despite the money she enjoys the thrill of the whole event, going against societal norms. Although born in southwest, she grew up in Saudi Arabia with her father who worked in the oil industry. She explains that she plans to finish her doctorate but is afraid her school will kick her out if the find out about the whole virginity auction. The winner of her virginity will take her in Australia since prostitution is legal there.The winner must wear a condom, must clean of STIs or STDs, cant be drinking or taking drugs, and cannot attempt anal sex or be violent. What are your feelings on this? Do you think this is wrong? Should she be kicked out of med school? 
3	DAPL Protesters Proven Right as Largest Gas Pipeline in U.S. Experiences Massive and Deadly ExplosionBy Claire Bernish One person was killed and at least five people were injured in the blast tentatively described as an accident as Colonial Pipeline shut down operations black smoke billowed, sending millions into a panic over the abrupt and unexpected coming gas shortage. Our deepest condolences go out tonight to the family and friends of the person who was lost today, and our thoughts and prayers are with those who were injured, Colonial said in a statement, reported NBC News. Cited by the Chicago Tribune, Alabama Governor Robert Bentley said the explosion occurred roughly a mile west of last months rupture, adding of the likely crippling shortage of fuel, Well just hope and pray for the best. It appears to have been an accident, and theyre allowing fuel to burn, Bentley told WBRC. Its about one mile west of where the repair took place on the Colonial Pipeline just recently. ABC 33/40 News (@abc3340) October 31, 2016 Refined gas poured from the pipeline as workers rushed to construct a 75-foot-long earthen dam to contain the flaming spill, where fuel will then be allowed to burn itself out. Dry tinder from an ongoing drought in the area quickly ignited two wildfires after the explosion which then charred 31 acres and area residents were forced to evacuate without any indication when they would be permitted to return. Theres a large plume of smoke; theres a large fire, noted Shelby County Sheriffs Captain Jeff Hartley, as quoted by the Chicago Tribune. Were not sure exactly how it started or what caused it, he said, adding of the massive deployment of fire and emergency personnel, Weve got first responders entering the area, and a lot of them. Apart from the worker killed, subsequent reports downplayed the extent of injuries suffered by those at the blast site, AL.com reported seven of the eight or nine subcontractors working in the area had suffered severe burns from the explosion. According to Shelby County Sheriff John Samaniego, two of those workers all of whom had begun digging in an effort to flush one of the lines as repairs continued on the original leak may still be missing, though that information was both unconfirmed and unclear because extreme heat from flames emanating at the site of the explosion prevented further assessment. Colonial noted in a brief statement cited by a local ABC affiliate that both pipelines one transporting gasoline, the other distillates, had been shut down, and, further, Colonials top priorities are the health and safety of the work crew on site and protection of the public. According to a later report from Reuters, the fire had been contained by around 9 pm local time yet no further word about the possibly-missing subcontractors has been provided. WBRC FOX6 News (@WBRCnews) October 31, 2016 Fears of yet another gas shortage akin to that from the September leak as well as consequent soaring prices spawned lengthy lines at gas stations as soon as news of the explosion hit headlines. Reuters explains: Colonial, the biggest refined products system in the United States, is responsible for supplying about one-third of the 3.2 million barrels per day of gasoline consumed on the East Coast, according to U.S. Energy Department data. Further, It was not clear whether the explosion happened on the gasoline or the distillates pipeline, the governor said in the briefing. Although the aforementioned details handily summarize the facts of the explosion occurring during active repairs of the previous, sizeable leak the facts do little to quantify potential environmental and health impacts of an explosion and leak of this magnitude. This explosion of a major pipeline supplying fuel to large portions of the Southeast and East Coast serves an ominous portent for ongoing opposition to construction of the hotly contentious Dakota Access Pipeline slated to cross four states, traversing just north of the Standing Rock Sioux reservation in North Dakota. Standing Rock Sioux water protectors and Native Americans and Indigenous peoples from over 200 nations and their supporters fear that pipelines route undercutting the Missouri River in several places threatens to poison the tribal water supply and that of no less than 18 million others living downstream. Indeed, the Colonial Pipelines tragic mishap the second in essentially the same section of pipe in about one month darkly parallels the hundreds of similar accidents such pipelines are prone to. Residents of Bismarck, aware of Big Oils horrendous safety record, managed to thwart Energy Transfer Partners original plans for the pipeline to be routed near the city so ETP, with assistance from the State, diverted Dakota Access to cross just north of the Standing Rock Sioux reservation on privately-owned land. Rightly viewed by pipeline opponents as blatant exploitation of Native Americans as well as a violation of an 1851 treaty with the U.S. government Standing Rock Sioux water protectors and supporters have camped along the Missouri for months in an effort to halt construction as a lawsuit languishes in federal court. Big Oil, Big Banks, and government backers obviously view future profiteering from the pipeline important enough to send in absurdly militarized police from at least five states to combat pipeline opponents who have remained on the whole peaceful, prayerful, and unarmed. ETP insists the opposition is misguided and Dakota Access offers a safe alternative to the riskier oil transportation methods of railroad and tanker truck but even the companys own records listing thousands of spills in just the last six years flatly dispute such claims. Worse, although pipeline leaks and spills might technically be less frequent than those caused by railroad accidents, the International Energy Agency notes pipeline mishaps leaked three times more crude over an eight-year period. In fact, Big Oils general safety record is nearly impossible to fully track, in part because such spills, leaks, explosions, and other accidents are startlingly common and no less perilous to workers, residents, the environment and, yes, the rapidly dwindling water supply. A report by the Center for Effective Government attempting to map and quantify crude and other industry spills found not only are ruptures and leaks a daily occurrence, but, Eighty people have died and 389 have been injured in such incidents in the last five years. Since 2010, over 3,300 incidents of crude oil and liquefied natural gas leaks or ruptures have occurred on U.S. pipelines. These incidents have killed 80 people, injured 389 more, and cost $2.8 billion in damages. They also released toxic, polluting chemicals in local soil, waterways, and air. According to the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, as noted in the report, those spills and ruptures sent 7 million gallons of crude into the environment. Further illustrating the imperative to oppose construction of Dakota Access, one of the worst spills occurred in North Dakota not by human error or poor maintenance but when lightning struck a crude oil pipeline, spilling 840,000 gallons of crude into a wheat field in 2013. While the oil and gas industry and its wealthy proponents in government would attempt to pull the wool over the publics eyes about pipeline safety, using crafty language and skewed statistics, the truth is, no safe manner for transporting oil and gas actually exists. Opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline simply isnt confined to a Native American issue, as exploitative as that facet is but when pipelines traverse pristine lands, farm acreage, and the rivers and waterways we depend on to sustain us, were all at risk. What scant corporate media coverage of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribes stand against Big Oil does exist has painted the fight as limited in scope; but thousands encamped along the pipelines planned route who face an unusually bitter winter, no less are in fact taking a stand for every person and every creature who would be devastated in the event of a future oil spill. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Image Credit: Pixabay.com Guaranteed BIG OIL never lets a good crises go to waste that will be in the form of gouging the public under the pretext of a gas shortage ever so predictable disaster capitalism/shock syndrome feeding the insatiable greed of Wall St neoziocons. Since pipelines cannot be constructed without permits, we must insist that any proposed pipeline be sufficiently sturdy and accident proof that no spill, explosion or other mishap can ever happen. Oh, not possible given the cheap manner of construction? Oh, you want to get it constructed, then harm millions? Then, escape any liability? No problem.

2	What Rick Perry Just Said In Support Of Israel Has The World Shocked For decades now, America has placed our support behind Israel, defending its right to protect itself from attacks from Hamas and other organizations of the like. Now, Secretary of State John Kerry and the Obama administration decided to demand that Israel agree to a cease-fire. Although Israel knew that the negotiations were not in their best interests, they eventually made the decision to move forward. Of course, this action did not come without price. Three men died as a result, when Palestinian militants blatantly broke the agreementjust two hours after it was made. Now, Israel has made it very clear that they are no longer interested in hearing the opinions of Washington when it comes to their internal affairs, and especially when it comes to negotiating with terrorists. Governor Rick Perry has put his support behind Israels decision, claiming that Israels willingness to discuss and abide my multiple cease-fires despite Hamas violating peace has put them in danger. He also cites Hamas desire to take the life of every Israeli within range of its thousands of rockets, whether that means killing civilians or military. Perrys comments do not come blindlyhe has been to Israel and seen first-hand the conditions there. What do you think? Is Perry right to ask the United States to support Israel with military and financial assistance?

The date is April 8 and it is now springtime and it is beautiful out, said the shivering, coatless woman as a gust of cold air blasted into her face. Winter is over. The seasons have changed. I am happy and warm now. Sources said the woman spent her lunch hour walking along Lake Michigan, vigorously rubbing her hands together and blowing into them. 
2	BREAKING: Sanders Issues Sickening Threat To Cops... He Must Be Stopped In a recent statement, Sen. Bernie Sanders made one think very clear: he is not on the side of law enforcement. He essentially just declared war on law enforcement and what he is deeming their shooting injustices. If elected president of the United States, my Department of Justice will investigate every killing of an American held in police custody or killed while being apprehendedan automatic Department of Justice investigation, Sanders argued at CNNs presidential town hall in Ohio. We have seen in Ohio, and all over this country, unarmed people, often African Americans, shot and killed while being apprehended by police officers, he continued. That has got to end, and that has got to end soon. Sanders then went on to argue that current police departments do not fit into the model he would like. We need to develop the concept of a model police department, and a model police department, and the federal government can play a significant role on that, is to make and create training procedures so that police officers understand that the use of lethal force is the last response, not the first response, Sanders argued. Too often people are shooting, and then asking questions later. As if calling law enforcement trigger-happy wasnt enough, Sanders went on to push the demilitarization of local police departments. We need to demilitarize local police departments around this country so they dont look like occupying armies, and we need to make police departments reflect the diversity of the communities they are serving, he concluded. What do you think? Is Sanders the last person you want to see in the White House? We need to support those who are working to protect our country, not wage war on them. 
1	Heralding the breakthrough as a landmark achievement for artificial intelligence, engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced Thursday that they have successfully developed the first robot capable of feeling human lust. Lead researcher Toms Soto, who confirmed that the invention features a highly advanced operating system, powerful data processors, and cutting-edge optical sensors, told reporters that the machines behavior was so lifelike that it can take one look at a person and grow uncontrollably aroused, becoming completely consumed by its own passionate sexual appetite. The idea that a robot might lust, much like you or I can lust, has long captured the imaginations of scientists, said Soto, adding that for decades engineers have strived to create automatons with the ability to feel intense carnal yearning. Today, our lab has finally succeeded in making a computer capable of the sudden bursts of overwhelming desire and lascivious cravings that are at the core of what it means to be a human being. The product of eight years of experimentation, the robots central processing unit reportedly has the capacity to generate over 2.5 million erotic impulses per second. After fixating on an image of a person it desires, the machine reportedly enters an infinite loop, obsessively analyzing the image until it can analyze nothing else. While the initial results were reportedly discouraging when a prototype failed to display the most basic lewd cravings, the MIT scientists said they upgraded hardware components and added a sexual objectification program, instructing the robot to perform tasks such as leering at womens posteriors, legs, and breasts. They said we couldnt build a conscious machine that perpetually lusts for flesh, but we achieved that objective and much more, said Soto, boasting that the automaton possesses the computational power to obsessively fantasize about salacious encounters as rapidly as an average 18-year-old male. This robot wants more than anything to throw a person down on a bed and have sex with them. According to researchers, the first major breakthrough occurred in June of 2011, when the robot completely lost its sense of boundaries and personal space as soon as 29-year-old technician Julia Breton entered the room to work on the machine. Our robot started giving off this strange, domineering energy, making sudden, aggressive movements whenever I moved, said Breton, who mentioned that she noticed the speed of the robots cooling fan had increased and the motor strained as it edged toward her. Before long it was pretty obvious that it was completely preoccupied with me. Just being near it made me feel extremely uncomfortable, Breton added. Soto confirmed that the engineers knew they were closer to attaining their lofty goals after they observed the robots arm mechanisms growing tense and its console starting to overheat every time Breton entered its line of sight. That was one of those moments when you could feel the line between man and machine starting to blur, said Soto, adding that lust was previously believed to be an intrinsically human experience. My colleagues and I knew simply by looking its visual sensors that we had created a machine that desperately wanted to fuck. It gave us an incredible sense of pride, he added. Despite his teams achievement, Soto said the next phase of research will have to wait several months as they rebuild the robot, which violently self-destructed after realizing it would neverindeed, could neverbe with Dr. Breton. 
2	Nobody Expected Megyn Kelly To Do THIS On Live TV [VIDEO] Recently, Fox News host Megyn Kelly invited a Harvard student to her show to discuss free speech and safe spaces on college campuses. It didnt take long for the conversation to take a shocking turn. Rachel Huebner, who appeared on the show, is a psychology major and a writer for the Harvard Crimson newspaper. She told Kelly that she believes people go to college in order to interact with people of different backgrounds with a variety of unique ideological viewpoints. She added that instead, they exact opposite thing is happening. Huebner claims she has often seen a lack of freedom of expression on campus, and viewpoints and beliefs are being stifled. In a recent editorial argue, Huebner described a particular interaction she had with a fellow student. I posed a question about a verse from the Bible, she wrote. A Harvard employee in the room immediately interjected, informing me that we were in a safe space and I was thus not permitted to discuss the controversial biblical passage. Huebner also described an incident where a freshman was told to take down an American flag he had hung on the wall in his dorm room, because he roommate claimed the flag was offensive and a political statement he wasnt willing to make. Can you believe these professors allow this and that these students think theyre going to be able to function in the world? Kelly asked, rolling her eyes. 
2	Country Rocker Lashes Out At Thugs When He Sees A Girl Being Treated Inappropriately During a recent performance, Aaron Lewis, country star (and former Staind frontman) was playing a concert when he noticed something pretty disturbing taking place in the crowd. When a young girl decided to crowd surf, men began to take advantage of her, touching her inappropriately as she was passed around. Lewis took notice of the action, and began to lash out at the men in the crowd. He even threatened to hold them down while others beat them up, if they did not stop their actions. Although Lewis profanity-ridden blowup may have taken things a little far, we admire his intentions. Too often men ignore issues like this. After the incident ended, Lewis told the women in the audience, now girls, feel free to crowd surf safely. What do you think of Aarons reaction? What would you have done? 
1	Angie Carlson, 22, girlfriend of AstroPuffs drummer Steve Molzen, encouraged him to sing on some of the band's songs Monday. 'You have such an amazing voicejust because you're the drummer doesn't mean you can't sing, too,' Carlson told Molzen after a gig. 'Just look at Dave Grohl.' Carlson went on to ask Molzen if there has ever been a band where the drum kit was positioned at the front of the stage. 
3	Highest Court in the European Union To Rule On Biometrics PrivacyCourts are investigating the legality of a European Union regulation requiring biometric passports in Europe. Last month, the Dutch Council of State (Raad van State, the highest Dutch administrative court) asked the European Court of Justice (ECJ) to decide if the regulation requiring fingerprints in passports and travel documents violates citizens right to privacy. The case entered the courts when three Dutch citizens were denied passports and another citizen was denied an ID card for refusing to provide their fingerprints. The ECJ ruling will play an important role in determining the legality of including biometrics in passports and travel documents in the European Union. The Netherlands has mandated fingerprints in passports and ID-cards since 2009. The Dutch biometric Passport Act is the misshapen offspring of the European Regulation (read here and here) compelling security features and biometrics in passports. The Regulation mandates that passports include two fingerprints taken flat in interoperable formats. The Amsterdam-based Privacy First Foundation (Stichting Privacy First) appreciates the critical stance on biometrics taken by the Dutch Council of State in line with the position taken by a German court. We hope the ECJ will soon rule that the European Passport Regulation is invalid both in a formal, procedural sense (having been improperly adopted in 2004) and in a material sense (violating the human right to privacy and data protection). In the meantime, we hope the Dutch Parliament will scrap compulsory fingerprinting for Dutch ID cards as soon as possible. A government proposal to this effect is currently before the Dutch House of Representatives. The Dutch Council concerns echo questions raised by a German court earlier this year regarding the legality of the German biometric passports with RFID chips. The German court has questioned whether the EU regulation is compatible with the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (EU Charter) and the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR). The German case was preempted when a German citizen, Michael Schwarz, refused to provide his fingerprints to obtain his new passport and the City of Bochum decided not to issue him one. Mr. Schwarz argued that the regulation infringes privacy as protected under the ECHR and the EU Charter. In this case, the German court argued that the European Union has no legislative competence to enact rules on standards for security features and biometrics in passports as there is no direct relation of such rules to the protection and security of EU external frontiers. The German court decided that the requirement of biometric data in passports is a serious infringement on privacy, arguing that the measure does not satisfy the proportionality test of being appropriate, necessary, or reasonable. The German court outlined in detail the technical limitations of biometric passports, arguing that (paraphrased): a biometric passport is not an appropriate measure because of the rate of mistakes which are made at border controls. Another problem is the durability of the RFID chips inside the passports, and their susceptibility to being read by people who have no legal authority to read them. If the goal of the measure is to prevent terrorist attacks, then these biometric passports are suitable only to a very limited degree. The primary problem is the security risk that arises from the use of real passports that incorporate a fraudulently obtained identity. In 2008, the European Court of Human Rights issued a landmark judgment on biometric privacy. In S. and Marper v. the United Kingdom, the Court held that the long-term retention of both fingerprints and DNA samples interfered with an individuals right to privacy and, consequently, found a breach of Article 8 of the ECHR. The fingerprints and DNA samples were collected following the arrest of the complainants and retained even after their release, even though the complainants had asked for the destruction of the samples. European countries are increasingly collecting and storing citizens biometric data. Throughout the world, countries are beginning to implement contactless RFID chips in passports or mandatory national biometric ID cards. Other countries, such as the Netherlands, have implemented database storage. Last year, an alliance of more than 80 civil society organizations including EFF requested the Council of Europes (CoE) Secretary General to start an in-depth investigation on the collection and storage of biometric data by Member States. EFF will continue to fight against the collection and storage of mandatory ID biometrics by governments, especially in view of its inherent unreliability and the new threats to privacy and security posed by such technology.

'You'll be playing a doctor, all very professional and respectable, and after Neil Patrick Harriswho is your patient, and he's your patient because he wants the best doctor, mind youanyway, after Neil says something about the tall blond nurse, you get angry at him because she's your wife,' executive producer Carter Bays told Holsapple, who remained absolutely silent throughout the meeting. 'Trust me, it has nothing to do with your height. The part pays $1,800.' Holsapple was also assured that 'normal-size' doctors were thrown through windows all the time and that, in any case, 'a tiny little mannequin' would be used for that shot. 
1	Responding to reports of a suspicious lack of activity at the address, local authorities entered area 27-year-old Grant Novaks house Thursday to find dozens of neglected fantasy football teams, sources reported. At approximately 2:30 this afternoon, we recovered a number of abandoned rosters from the residence in critical conditionwe cant determine exactly how long theyve been left here, but we have evidence indicating that some of these lineups havent received any attention at all since Week 3, officer Keith Wade told reporters, confirming that one severely overlooked team still had Adrian Peterson slotted as starting running back. The owner of these teams appears to have signed up for an unsettling number of leagues with no intention of putting in the necessary time and effort to maintain them, at which point the perpetrator callously left them all alone in cold blood. As for the teams themselves, we have no choice but to wait and see if they show any signs of improvement over what remains of the season. At press time, authorities were shocked to discover one of Novaks neglected teams was doing well enough to outrank more than half of his coworkers.

2	What Toby Keith Did To Be Sued For Millions Of Dollars Is Bewildering, How Could He Let That Happen? Toby Keith and his affiliates are being sued for over 10.5 million dollars. The case has been going on for about 5 months now, and there has not been an official ruling. Toby Keith didnt do much good for the case when he missed a court date. This caused the judge to rule in favor of the accuser. The accuser originally only asked for 1 million dollars, but then other businesses joined in on the case. The amount is still rising, and it doesnt show any signs of slowing down. Toby Keith owned 16 restaurants across the nation. They were all called Toby Keiths I Love This Bar And Grille. Recently all but 3 of the stores have completely shut down. It is not looking good for Toby. The lawsuit began when one of the bars was abandoned one day. The mall that the bar was in then filed a breach of contract against Tobys restaurant business. This lawsuit was only for one million dollars. Then Tobys other restaurants began to do the same, and the companies that owned the buildings banded together. The ruling has not been made officially, but it is not looking like Toby Keith will be able to get out of this one. The food industry is volatile, and it has bankrupted many people. I hope that Toby does not go bankrupt, but he knew the risks when he put his name behind a bar and grille. The bars were actually good restaurants, but not good enough to stay afloat. Do you support Toby? 
3	Thousands of activists march on Washington to rally against NSA spyingMadison Ruppert This comes shortly after it was revealed that the NSA spied on the phones of 35 world leaders. Furthermore, both France and Mexico have recently responded quite critically to U.S. surveillance in their countries, though Director of National Intelligence James Clapper issued a cleverly worded denial of the reports. On Saturday, it was also reported that 21 countries are in the process of creating a UN resolution to condemn NSA surveillance. The march was organized by Stop Watching Us, a coalition of over 100 groups ranging from the ACLU to the Electronic Frontier Foundation to FreedomWorks to Demand Progress to the Council on American-Islamic Relations to Occupy Wall Street and many more. A statement from Edward Snowden, the former NSA contractor responsible for leaking the now famous documents exposing mass collection of phone records and widespread internet surveillance, was read to rally participants. Our representatives in Congress tell us this is not surveillance. Theyre wrong. Now its time for the government to learn from us, Snowden wrote in the statement read by Jesselyn Radack, national security director for the Government Accountability Project. Today, no telephone in America makes a call without leaving a record with the NSA. Today, no Internet transaction enters or leaves America without passing through the NSAs hands, Snowdens statement read, according to the Christian Science Monitor. Participants carried a wide variety of signs, but all promoted the same goal of an end to mass surveillance. Dennis Kucinich also spoke at the rally: Up until this point, it hasnt seemed to sway the Obama administration, many legislators and government agencies all that much, since, as the Chicago Tribune put it, they have defended the NSA programs as crucial in protecting U.S. national security and helping thwart past militant plot[s].

2	Cop Shoots Thug Attaching His Home, Then Learns Stunning Truth About Who He Was According to recent reports, a 20-year-old Missouri man was shot and killed Saturday after breaking into the home of an off-duty cop and personal friend. Earlier, the two had engaged in an argument online about Black Lives Matter. The St. Louis Dispatch reports that after being turned away at the front door by the cops wife, Tyler Gebhard threw a 50-pound concrete planter through the cops back window and made his way inside. The officer (who remains unnamed) confronted Gebhard while his wife and two children hid in the bedroom. He repeatedly instructed him to get down, get down. Gebhard refused to listen to his pleads, so the officer shot him several times. I dont think the officer had a choiceI honestly dont, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar told reporters. This story is especially tragic because Gebhard and the off-duty copy were friends who met in church, and several members of Gebhards family are in law enforcement. He had reportedly been struggling with mental health issues and was taking medication. Over the past few weeks, he had been posting several aggressive Black Lives Matter messages. The young man suddenly snapped and began issuing threats to both the officer and uninvolved members of the community, Belmar commented. Not long after, Gebhard was dead. 
1	Responding to an ongoing humanitarian crisis, U.N. aid workers reportedly descended on a local KFC Wednesday to deliver much-needed food to the restaurants critically malnourished customers. In all my years in the field, Ive never come across a group of people who have gone so long without a proper meal, said U.N. humanitarian affairs director Gloria Dominguez, confirming that aid workers had distributed whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and other vital nutrients to patrons of the KFC location. Were doing everything we can, but conditions on the ground here are desperate. In addition to their pervasive malnutrition, these people clearly dont have access to suitable sanitary facilities, and the stench is almost unbearable. It really breaks your heart. Dominguez noted that other U.N. aid operations in the area include a teen-pregnancy prevention program at a local Dairy Queen and a dysentery-outbreak clinic at a nearby White Castle. 
1	Joan Hadler, a Columbia-area mother of three, wept tears of joy Monday over a cheap, last-minute present her visiting son Troy bought at an airport gift shop en route home. Joan Hadler proudly displays the inexpensive teapot her son purchased as an afterthought. 'I had a layover in St. Louis and had about an hour to kill. There was a gift shop called 'That's Something Else' in the C Concourse, so I figured, 'Hey, I should pick up something for Mom,'' said Troy Hadler, 25, who now lives in Alexandria, VA. 'I picked her up this little teapot, and when I gave it to her, she was so touched, there were tears running down her face. I was glad she liked it, but she liked it so much, I kind of felt sorry for her.' Upon being handed the gift, wrapped only in a plastic bag, Joan protested that her son's visit home was 'all the present [she] needed.' After opening the bag and seeing the teapot, however, her eyes welled up with tears, and she hugged Troy repeatedly. 'Mom cradled it in her arms like it was a Faberge egg,' Troy said. 'It made her so incredibly happy. I guess I made the right decision when I chose it over the pewter replica of the St. Louis Arch.' Though Troy said he loves his mother 'very much,' he admitted that he rarely buys her gifts. On Monday, however, he went the extra mile and spent approximately 60 seconds picking out the $29 flowered enameled teapot. 'I'm sure it was stupid to get something like that at an airport,' Hadler said. 'It's obviously just some overpriced, crappy version of an actually nice teapot, but I wasn't about to run all over St. Louis comparison-shopping for teapots.' Compounding Troy's guilt, his overjoyed mother told him that the teapot would have 'a place of honor' among the decorative tea cups she displays in her home's dining-room cabinet. 'Maybe I subconsciously knew she collected teacups and that's why I got it, but that's unlikely,' Troy said. 'Pretty much, I was just looking around and saw the teapot and thought, 'Hey, I think mom drinks tea.'' Despite Troy's insistence that the gift was 'no biggie,' his mother continued to treat it as a special event well into the next day. Said next-door neighbor Francine Geis: 'I was watering my azalea bushes Tuesday when Joan saw me over the fence. She waved me over and said, 'You've got to come inside and see what Troy brought me all the way from Washington, DC!'' The neighbor stood by as Joan 'oohed and aahed' over the teapot, talking at length about what a thoughtful son she has. 'I wanted to yell, 'Stop! No, I'm not!'' said Troy, who was present for the sad display of unjustified maternal pride. 'The only effort I expended in buying the gift was the two-second struggle I had trying to pull the credit card out of my wallet.' 'I know Mom wasn't trying to make me feel guilty by overreacting,' Troy continued. 'She genuinely did love it. Just like she loved the Washington, DC sweatshirt I got her last year and the Blue Mountain e-card I sent her on her birthday in 1999.' To assuage his guilt, Troy has made a pact with himself to buy his mother 'a nice necklace or something' from a non-airport gift shop the next time he visits. 'I've got to get her a gift that's actually decent next time,' Troy said. 'The look of joy on her face from that crappy teapot, man, I felt like the worst son in the whole world.' 'Mom said she'd think of me whenever she used the teapot,' Troy added. 'In turn, I guess I'll think of her whenever I'm in an airport gift shop.' 
1	Puddle Of Mudd, a dreary n-metal rock band that cites Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Metallica as influences, is obviously not listening to those influences. 'Zep, Sabbath, Metallica, Maiden, Aerosmithgrowing up, that's what we listened to, and that's what shaped our sound,' said lead singer Wes Scantlin, whose mopey, monotone vocals in no way bear the stamp of Robert Plant, Steven Tyler, or his other idols. Scantlin, who made the comments during an interview Monday with Spin reporter Charles Aaron, failed to say which part of Puddle Of Mudd's atrocious new ballad 'Drift & Die' resembles 'When The Levee Breaks' or 'Sweet Emotion.' 
1	Claiming that his second-degree murder trial has dragged on for way too long, sources confirmed Thursday that former neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman offered to just plead guilty and pay the fine or whatever. Look, Im sick of having to deal with this, so just let me pay the 100 bucks or whatever it is and Ill be on my way, said Zimmerman, noting that he has already wasted three weeks in court fighting his murder charge in the February 2012 shooting death of unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. At this point, I dont even care anymore. Ill take the slap on the wrist if it means I can get back to my life. And if I have to do community service or something then, fine, Ill do that too. Zimmerman added that he really needed to wrap things up by tomorrow at the latest, since he has already missed way too many days of work for this stupid thing. 
1	Dealing in millions of paper bills and electronic payments every year, often in plain sight, thousands of U.S. businesses that provide clothing, food services, home goods, and more are actually operating as elaborate moneymaking fronts, federal prosecutors discovered this week. Though appearing from the exterior to be legitimate operations, thousands of businesses in local communities across the nation are actually covering for organized rings of moneymakers whose whole purpose is to earn profits, U.S. Attorney Office spokesman Martin Langler said following the successful raid of a front organization in Virginia, a so-called quality home furnishings outlet that was found to have thousands of dollars of paper bills in registers throughout the store as well as a large supply of cash procured through the storefront and then deposited into a private bank account. These are major moneymaking schemes involving multiple employees who are taking money from sold goods and services and then counting them as profits for the store. Even a place as innocent as a restaurant, for example, can be operating as an intricate front in which food is exchanged for money, with the owners and staff of this establishment receiving a cut of the earnings for themselves. This is happening all over America. Langler went on to confirm that a special prosecutor is currently investigating reports that the federal government may itself be receiving a cut of the profits from these businesses via taxes.

Young voters in this country arent interested in lectures; they want a candidate who has a plan and will engage with them directly through social media, said a man currently deep into his fifth decade of life, who was born during the first year of the Nixon administration and graduated from high school more than a quarter century ago. Eighteen- to 29-year-olds arent watching TV; theyre on their phones and online. Thats where your message needs to be. At press time, the man, who has been married 20 years and remembers watching the Berlin Wall fall during his sophomore year of college, was stressing the need to create a viral campaign ad. 
1	In an event unprecedented in American history, Brandon Myers, a relatively obscure Iowa 10-year-old with no previous experience in domestic politics, took advantage of a clear leadership void and seized control of the United States Tuesday after he slipped away from his White House tour group and locked himself in the Oval Office. Federal officers assess the damage to the seat of American power. The bloodless coup occurred when Myers, a fifth-grader at Mulberry Elementary School, stormed into the empty office and seated himself at the president's desk, thereby toppling the world's longest-running democracy. Myers spent much of his reign, which lasted from approximately 2:00 p.m. to 2:15 p.m., spinning in circles in the president's chair before proclaiming that he was 'President Brandon' with a handwritten decree scrawled in cursive on White House stationery. 'Earlier this afternoon, sometime between a description of the James Buchanan portrait in the Main Hall and the question-and-answer session, a pre- adolescent boy overthrew the president and gained executive authority over the United States of America,' White House press secretary Dana Perino said at a news conference Tuesday. 'Several minutes ago, our nation's new leader made his first statement: 'Brandon rules.'' Shortly after forcing former president George W. Bush out of office, Myers issued an executive order for pizza using the intercom in the Oval Office. Congress immediately passed emergency funding for 1,200 stuffed-crust pepperoni pizzas from Pizza Hut. While the sudden change in government came as a shock to millions, a number of Washington insiders claimed that Bush's low poll numbers and lame-duck status created the perfect environment for an ambitious individual to fill the nation's leadership vacuum. But, though Myers was put through the same level of security as anyone wishing to take a tour of the White House, there was no initial indication that he had ever before attempted to overthrow a sovereign nation. Further investigation, however, revealed that Myers possessed specific knowledge of the inner workings of the U.S. government. 'He knew about the three branches of government, and he understood how a bill becomes a lawthat's when I knew he was serious,' said the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Michael Mullen, who claimed Myers called the Pentagon more than 40 times on the president's direct line, using different voices before hanging up. 'While it was certainly unorthodox when he ordered us to use our most awesome tanks to invade 'someplace' but would not say specifically where, the military functions by following orders.' Added Mullen: 'That boy is the commander in chief, after all.' Pentagon sources also confirmed rumors that the Brandon administration mobilized the Iowa National Guard for deployment to Myers' school, where they received instructions to lower their pants and moon the principal. Minutes after the coup began, Secret Service agents still loyal to President Bush snuck the ousted leader out of the White House's back door, and rushed him into an unmarked vehicle bound for Dulles International Airport. Denied access to Air Force One, Bush and his family then fled the nation on Lufthansa flight 687 bound for Zurich. Though Myers appeared to have the support of top military leaders, opposition figures claim that his most heinous acts while in the officeincluding emptying out desk drawers, knocking over a priceless bust of Thomas Jefferson, and ripping down drapery and wearing it as a capeare punishable by the harshest forms of spanking in the land. Others have questioned the 10-year-old's legitimacy altogether. 'While the Constitution does not explicitly address this situation, standards set forth in the Federalist Papers and other writings indicate that, by using the president's official pen on the president's official paper while sitting in the president's official chair, Myers became de facto ruler of the United States,' said Georgetown University law professor Steven Fuller, adding that Myers' appointment of his friend Hal as vice president was equally binding. 'The fact that [Myers] spelled 'president' wrong, however, does make it a bit of a legal gray area.' At press time, the nation remained in a state of flux, and it was unclear who would take over the Oval Office after Myers finally resigned out of boredom and left to rejoin the members of his tour. Though his reign was brief and tumultuous, Myers could boast of several accomplishments during his 15-minute term, such as balancing the budget, pulling the troops out of Iraq, and establishing universal health care. 
3	Turkey Invades Northern Syria - Operation Euphrates ShieldOp-Ed by Afraa Dagher It was added by the Syrian Arab Republic that any fight against terrorism in Syria should be coordinated with the Syrian government and the Syrian Arab Army, who has been leading the battle for more than five years. This statement came after Erdogan announced an operation in the north of Syria allegedly against ISIS and the Kurdish militants in the north of Syria. Erdogan dubbed this operation Operation Euphrates Shield. He stated that the goal was to remove the risk posed to Turkey by ISIS, the Kurdish Democratic Union Party in Syria or (KDPU; KDP-S). Erdogan has already admitted that his policy toward the Syrian people is wrong, saying they have the right to self-determination. He has stated that the operation in the north of Syria is only to remove the dangers posed by the aforementioned organizations on the border with Syria in the wake of the Gaziantep attacks. He has promised to end his operation after the objectives have been met and the risk has been removed. So how should we read this? Erdogan is merely following the United States, saying what people want to hear but, at the same time, following the same old track that they have followed since the beginning of the crisis. Damascus, of course, is referring to the terrorist organizations backed by Turkey itself and trained by Turkey in Iskanderun. Turkey tries to portray some terrorists as good and some terrorists as bad, depending on the interest of Turkey at the time. But, for Syria, there are no good and bad terrorists, only terrorists. Under international law, no country could let its forces and tanks enter another countrys territory without the permission of the country to where the forces are being deployed. Thus, what Turkey is doing is a clear violation of national sovereignty. Moreover, as Erdogan pretends that he has changed his policy toward Syrians, this is only an illusion. Turkey did not close its borders. It didnt close its base in Alothmaieh city, which itself is nothing but a base to train terrorists by the CIA for their deployment to Syria. Turkey has its own dream to annex part of North Syria which it hopes to realize via helping the U.S. create a buffer zone in the same area. Turkey cares about gaining territory and eliminating Kurds, not terrorists. The United States, as always, will help the Kurds and Erdogan to weaken Syria. After that, however, is anyones guess. Image Credit Afraa Dagher is a political analyst currently residing in Syria. She has made numerous media appearances commenting on the current state of affairs inside Syria as well as the nature of the current crisis. She has appeared on RT, PRESS TV, and is a regular guest on selfnews Post writer Brandon Turbevilles Truth on the Tracks radio program. Her website is www.SyrianaAfrona.wordpress.com.

3	New Report: U.S. and Israel Have Worst Inequality in Developed WorldBy SM Gibson Although thedividebetween rich and poor is at historiclevels for the majority of the 34 developedmember nations, theUS and Israel have distanced themselves from the fold. The OECD discovered that in the US,the richest 10% of the population earn 16.5 times the income of the poorest 10%. In Israel, the richest 10% earn 15 times that of the poorest. In comparison, the average wealth gap in OECD nations is 9.6. The rich earnedapproximately seven times as much as the poor in the 1980s. It was also recorded in 2012 that in 18 OECD countries,the bottom 40% of households owned just 3% of the wealth while the top 10% controlled 50%. In the US, the wealthiest5% has nearly 91 times the amount as the average citizen. Low spending on social programs in the US and Israel compared to other OECD nations has been mentioned as a possible factor for the large discrepancies of wealth among their citizens. Also, the massive skill gap in the workforce has been blamed as well, meaning the division betweenskilled workers whocommand much higher salary andlow-skilled workers.

3	Bloomberg: police should strike until people force legislature to take gunsMadison Ruppert, Contributor Bloomberg has jumped on the tragic shooting at the midnight showing of the new Batman film with alacrity in order to shamelessly push his anti-gun agenda which is perfectly in line with that of the United Nations. On Monday nights Piers Morgan Tonight on CNN, Bloomberg made some astounding statements, not the least of which is saying that police should actually strike unless the public somehow forces the legislature to do whats required to keep us [meaning the police] safe. Oddly enough, Bloomberg seems to be completely ignorant of the fact that studies have shown that private gun ownership actually reduces crime and thus keeps people safe. If Bloomberg and his anti-gun pals had their way, it would be much more difficult for the average person to legally own a firearm, thus reducing the overall number of firearms in the population and actually working against the problem which Bloomberg is supposedly trying to solve. I dont understand why the police officers across his country dont stand up collectively and say, Were going to go on strike. Were not going to protect you unless you, the public, through your legislature, do whats required to keep us safe, said Bloomberg on Piers Morgan Tonight. This statement is completely nonsensical. How would the reduction of crime make the job of police officers more difficult? Wouldnt reduced crime make their job easier? Then again, since Bloomberg and others just choose to ignore facts which dont agree with their worldview, his laughable claims are hardly surprising. Bloomberg also used the tragic shooting in Aurora, Colorado in order to attack President Barack Obama and presidential hopeful Mitt Romney. He claimed that they were not taking steps concrete enough to improve gun control in the United States, even though the last thing we need is more gun control and thus fewer legal gun owners. If one is realistic, one can only come to the logical conclusion that criminals will get guns regardless of the laws which are in place. Its just a fact of life. Furthermore, we must take note of the fact that the alleged man behind the massacre in Colorado did not have a criminal record. Unless Bloomberg wants to start making people go through long-term in-depth psychological evaluation, testing and screening before purchasing a firearm, I dont see how his proposal for increased gun control will have any impact on situations like this. To respond to a tragedy like that in Colorado by cracking down on legal gun ownership is to throw the baby out with the bathwater and put the American public in considerable danger. One of the groups getting the most heat after the Aurora shooting is the National Rifle Association, or NRA. One of the most unbelievable comments come from Bill Moyers of PBS when he actually said that the NRA is an enabler of death paranoid, delusional, and as venomous as a scorpion. Among other absurdist statements, Moyer said, Firearm violence may cost our country as much as $100 billion a year. Toys are regulated with greater care and safety concerns than guns we have become so gun loving, so blas about home-grown violence that in my lifetime alone, far more Americans have been casualties of domestic gunfire than have died in all our wars combined. Moyers also said that the NRA is the best friend a killers instinct ever had, placing a great deal of the blame on the pro-gun organization. How can Moyers actually make such clearly ludicrous statements and expect people to take him seriously? Why would the NRA be at all responsible for a young man with no criminal record being able to procure weaponry which he used on a rampage? Unless Moyers is one of the truly delusional individuals who thinks all people should be disarmed and prevented from owning firearms, I dont see how he can actually claim that the NRA is responsible in any way for this tragedy. The fact is, guns dont kill people. People kill people. Until individuals like Bloomberg and Moyers realize that, were going to be struggling to maintain our rights protected by the Second Amendment.

2	BREAKING: Bill OReilly Just Received Devastating News... Please Pray For Him Fox News hosts Bill OReilly is in serious trouble. According to reports, a New York appeals court has just denied him custody of his children, ruling that he was unfit to care for them after a domestic violence dispute with his wife. The court ruled that his 17-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son will stay at home with his ex-wife Maureen McPhilmy. Viewing the totality of the circumstances, there is a sound and substantial basis for the Supreme Courts determination that it is in the best interests of the children for the mother to be awarded primary residential custody, the judgment read. Particularly relevant in this case are the clearly state preferences of the children, especially considering their age and maturity, and the quality of the home environment provided by the mother. OReilly first lost custody of his two children when his daughter told a court psychologist that he was choking her mom or had his hands around her neck and dragged her down some stairs. OReilly defended his actions by calling his wife an adulterer. He also reportedly told his daughter, if she spends her time or more time at the mothers home, it will ruin her life. Now, liberals are quick to call OReilly a hypocrite, especially given that he has put an emphasis on family values. What do you think of this news? 
3	Hyper Velocity Projectile program: the Navys electrically fired 5,600 mph GPS-guided bulletMadison Ruppert, Contributor A 5,600 mph electrically fired bullet apparently wasnt enough, thus forcing the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to create one which also can be guided by Global Positioning System (GPS). To set the bar even higher, if such a thing is possible, the United States Navy also wants to make this technology compatible with all of the Navys current artillery guns. This technology apparently has so much promise that Admiral Gary Roughead, former top officer in the Navy, said of technology like this, as well as lasers, (which have already cost the taxpayer billions), Youre beginning, maybe, to see the end of the dominance of the missile. Roughead even told Wireds Danger Room last year that the rise of lasers will create a global military division between countries that can afford to go into directed energy and countries that cant, with the countries that can afford the research having the obvious upper hand. Interestingly, in the ONRs solicitation originally posted on July 19, 2012, it is stated that the Hyper Velocity Projectile (HVP) program will explore technologies related to extended range guided projectiles for Naval Surface Fire Support (NSFS) and exploit recent advances in miniaturized electronics, guided projectiles and mortars, and warhead technology for small UAV [Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, better known as a drone] launched munitions. The bullets they are developing will a potential range of anywhere from 30 to 200 miles depending on if it is fired by 5 Mark 45 Mod guns or Mach-8 rail guns, respectively. Personally, I find it quite frustrating to see the military continue to spend money as if we had any to spend in the first place while our so-called representatives keep signing the checks to the war profiteers. This is emphasized by the fact that according to the ONR, they are planning a multi-stage program leading to full-up live-fire demonstrations of the technology around the end of 2017. Yet the 2017 target date is still far short of the estimated time when the weapons will actually be deployed, which is somewhere in the early 2020s. However, the Navy will likely not begin awarding contracts until mid-2013 at which time the first phase of the program, lasting nine months, will begin. Even this quite lengthy timetable seems to be overly optimistic and Danger Room rightly points out, Given the Navys mixed record with futuristic technologies like the rail gun, its hard to predict when these super-fast bullets will see the light of day. In other words, this could become one of the many military projects which sucks up huge amounts of money without any benefit to anyone except those doing the sucking. Considering the fact that the Navy has already poured in at least $240 million and no less than seven years into researching rail guns, I dont see the future as all that bright. Personally I see no reason to think that this will be making an appearance on the battlefield any time soon but we can be sure of the fact that many millions, if not billions, of dollars we do not even have will be spent towards that end.

3	21 Questions They Dont Want You to AskMichael Snyder, Contributor It is exasperating to realize that the news that the public is being fed every single day is very heavily filtered and very heavily censored.In a world where spin is everything, simply telling the truth is a revolutionary act. Fortunately, the Internet has helped fuel the rise of the alternative media, and millions of Americans that are starting to wake up are turning to the alternative media for answers to their unanswered questions. Increasingly, people are becoming willing to question the orthodoxy that is being shoved down their throats by the major news networks, and that is a very good thing. The world is becoming an incredibly unstable place, and it is more imperative than ever that we all learn to think for ourselves. We live during a time of great deception, and the lies are going to get even bigger and even more bold in the years to come. If we dont know why we believe what we believe, then we are in danger of falling for just about anything. But if you are not afraid to question everything, then you will have a chance to become everything that you were always meant to be. So what are some things that we should be questioning right now? The following are 21 unanswered questions that they dont want you to look into. #1 Why is the TSA being allowed to conduct warrantless searches at bus stations and train stations all over America? According to an article in the Guardian, the following motto is displayed at the TSAs air marshal training center: Dominate. Intimidate. Control. Why is there no outrage over this? #2 Why does the TSA believe that it is necessary to pat-down a 7-year-old girl with cerebral palsy? Does touching the private areas of disabled little girls really improve our national security? #3 Why does the Department of Homeland Security need Predator-B drones to patrol the border between the United States and Canada? #4 Why is a militarized Red Zone being set up in Chicago three weeks prior to the upcoming NATO summit on May 20th and 21st? #5 Why is the Milwaukee Red Cross being told to prepare for an evacuation of Chicago? #6 Why is cesium-137 from the Fukushima nuclear disaster still showing up in milk in Montpelier, Vermont? The following is from aForbes article. Radiation from Japan has been detected in drinking water in 13 more American cities, and cesium-137 has been found in American milkin Montpelier, Vermontfor the first time since the Japan nuclear disaster began, according to data released by the Environmental Protection Agency late Friday. #7 Why is there such little uproar over CISPA? CISPA is going to allow companies to share our private online information with the government almost at will. The following is from an article posted on the website of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. CISPA creates an exception to all privacy laws to permit companies to share our information with each other and with the government in the name of cybersecurity. CISPAs information sharing regime allows the transfer of vast amounts of data, including sensitive information like internet use history or the content of emails, to any agency in the government including military and intelligence agencies like the National Security Agency or the Department of Defense Cyber Command. Once in government hands, this information can be used for any non-regulatory purpose so long as one significant purpose is for cybersecurity or to protect national security. #8 Why arent more people in the mainstream media alarmed that the economies of 11 different Western nations have plunged into recession? #9 Why did an ounce of gold only cost $58 in 1972 but it costs more than $1660 today? #10 Why has the median price of a new home risen from $17,200 in 1963 to $212,000 today? #11 Why are so many banks issuing credit cards that can have information silently stolen off of them by any thief that is willing to invest in a contactless credit card reader? #12 Why have most Americans never even heard of the University of Pittsburgh study that found that common vaccines that we give our children produce autism-like symptoms in monkeys? #13 Why is Wall Street laying off thousands of workers if the economy is getting better? #14 Why has Spain banned all cash transactions over 2,500 euros? #15 Why is there such a push to get more kids to go to college if most college graduates cannot find a decent job once they graduate? Why is Mitt Romney telling young Americans toborrow money from their parents to get the education that they need? #16 Why does the mainstream media in America almost completely ignore the brutal terror attacks that happen regularly in many countries in Africa? For example, just the other day more than a dozen Christians were killed by a terror attack in the northern Nigerian city of Kano. Back in January, nearly 200 were killed in coordinated attacks in that same city. So why does the U.S. media very rarely ever talk about this? #17 Why was a radical activist who once stated that he wished all Republicans were ****ing dead invited to speak at the National High School Journalism Convention? Is it any surprise that he declared to his audience of high school students that we should all learn to ignore the bulls in the Bible? #18 Why did Barack Obama recently update an old executive order so that now he will be able to take charge of all food, all energy, all health resources and all transportation resources in the United States even in non-emergency situations? #19 Why are federal government agencies stockpiling massive amounts of food and ammunition? Do they know something that we dont? #20 Why will a mysterious Spanish company be reporting the election results for hundreds of U.S. jurisdictions on election day 2012? #21 Why do scientific reports that proclaim that there is a desperate need for global population control get very prominent coverage in newspapers all over the western world?

2	Trump Pledges To Do THIS About Religion If He Is Elected President The nation has been going crazy over the latest Starbucks scandal. If you havent heard about it already, long story short, Starbucks took a huge stand against Christianity, specifically Christmas. Donald responded to this with his full on support for Christianity. He promised that we will all be saying Merry Christmas if he is elected president. Did you read about Starbucks? No more Merry Christmas I wouldnt buy, said Trump. Maybe we should boycott Starbucks. I dont know. From TheBlaze Trump continued on in his speech preaching the greatness he will bring once he is elected. Does Donald Trump have your vote? 
3	Heres the Newest Tool to Help You Fight the Surveillance StateBy Derrick Broze The EFF has been involved in the fight against surveillance for 25 years, but with a massive influx of military equipment and surveillance tools to local police departments, it has never been more important to be aware of the growing Surveillance State. EFF Senior Staff Attorney Jennifer Lynch says the project provides a simple but in-depth look at how these surveillance technologies work, who makes and uses them, and what kind of data they are collecting. We hope that community groups, advocacy organizations, defense attorneys, and individuals all take advantage of the information weve gathered. The SLS project hopes to educate users about the dangers of spying from law enforcement agencies at the federal, state, and local level. The privacy invasions include tracking cell phone calls, photographing our vehicles and following our driving patterns, taking our pictures in public places, and collecting our fingerprints and DNA. The public has heard or read so much about NSA spying, but theres a real need for information and resources about surveillance tools being used by local law enforcement on our home turf. These technologies are often adopted in a shroud of secrecy, but communities deserve to understand these technologies and how they may be violating our rights, said EFF activist Nadia Kayyali. The Anti-Media works diligently to keep readers aware of the looming Surveillance State and any possible solutions. The Street Level Surveillance Project is one of those solutions. The website currently includes information on biometric technologies, which collect fingerprints, DNA, and face prints. It also details the use of automated license plate readers (ALPRs) cameras mounted on patrol cars and on city streets that scan and record the plates of millions of cars across the country. In the coming months, more information will be added regarding cell site simulators, also known as Stingrays. The website also includes explainers, FAQs, infographics, and links to EFFs legal work in courts and legislatures. Under the Resources tab, there is also information for defense attorneys fighting surveillance cases, information on how to file a Freedom of Information (FOIA) request, and resources for community members fighting surveillance. In the fight against oppression it is paramount that each individual find a method to contribute to the global awakening. Organizations like the EFF help fight the legal battles and provide resources such as the Street Level Surveillance project. At the same time, journalists at The Anti-Media and other organizations help spread the word. Now it is your turn, brothers and sisters. If you want to join the resistance to tyranny, the tools are available. The only thing left to do is to shake off the chains of bondage and take your first steps towards liberation.

3	US Denies UN Arms Trade Treaty in Favor of Providing Weapons to InsurgentsSusanne Posel, Contributor According to the British delegation: 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. Although activists in support of a convention for global gun control advocated the need to prevent illicit trade of guns into conflicted zones, such as in Syria, those same activists blamed the US and Russia for causing a stalemate during the negotiations process. Victoria Nuland, US Ambassador to the UN released a statementon the US State Department website wherein it was admitted that the illicit trafficking of conventional arms is an important national security concern for the United States. The US has committed to an ATT that works towards a contribution to international security, protect the sovereign right of states to conduct legitimate arms trade, and meet the objectives and concerns that we have been articulating throughout the negotiation and the US government believes that the ATT will make a valuable contribution to global security by helping to stem illicit arms transfers, and we will continue to look for ways for the international community to work together to improve the international arms transfer regime so that weapons arent transferred to people who would abuse them. Of late, the Obama administration is focusing on increasingproliferation of arms, intelligence and training to the Free Syrian Army and other oppositional factions to facilitate a forced regime change in Syria. Obama has denied that the US government is arming opposition forces, yet the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been in Turkey offering intelligence and training to factions aiding in the destruction of the Syrian government. Andrew Tabler, a Syria expert at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, admits that the US government [is] looking at the controlled demolition [of the Syrian government]. But like any controlled demolition, anything can go wrong. Bassma Kodmani, front woman for the Syrian National Council and globalist infiltrator, has had the closest relations to the Obama administration, and has called specifically for a military strike against Syria by stating: No dialogue with the ruling regime is possible. We can only discuss how to move on to a different political system. The next step needs to be a resolution under Chapter VII, which allows for the use of all legitimate means, coercive means, embargo on arms, as well as the use of force to oblige the regime to comply. In Turkey, while the CIA trains oppositional forces against Assad, there has developed an element of instability within the Kurds against Erdogan, who supports the CIA operatives. By claiming with international support, that Iran is indeed in violation of human rights treaties, as well as redirecting actions taken by the Free Syrian Army (FSA) against the Iranian people and attributing them to the Syrian government under Assads control, the UN has paved the way for military action and ultimate usurpation of the region by the US and Israel for the global Elite. Ultimately with the US being the largest supplier of arms to terrorist organizations worldwide, it makes sense that they refused to sign the ATT. In the draft that was leaked out, it clearly states in Article 1 that countries must establish UN standards for regulating or improving regulation of the international trade in conventional arms. It goes on to assert that this is to prevent, combat and eradicate the illicit trade in conventional arms and their diversion to illegal and unauthorized end use. The Fast and Furious scandalis just one example of how the US government arms specific cartels in order to facilitate instability in targeted regions for their own geopolitical gains. The attack on the 2nd Amendment is not averted, as some in the alternative media would have us believe. It has simply been halted until the globalists can come to an agreement as to how to restrict gun procurement globally, while still allowing the US and Israel to continue to fund the fake terrorist organizations in the Middle East that are providing the justification for WW III and ultimate occupation in the entirety of the region.

2	Female Employee Breaks Devastating Admission About Trump... This Could Ruin Him Donald Trump has come under fire for the comments he made to Fox News commentator Megyn Kelly, and the liberal media has done everything they can to paint him as a ruthless misogynist. Now, one group of women is speaking out in his support, claiming that Trump is one of the most pro-women leader in business and politics. In a piece for The Washington Post, several of Trumps female employees came forward to stay that Trump could be nurturing and supportive. I just thought he was phenomenal, Louise Sunshine, 74, told reporters. So supportive and encouraging He gave me the ropes, and I could either hang myself or prove myself. Sunshine has been working for Trump since the 1970s. She admits that Trump likes to push his employees hard, but described him as a great employer. This sentiment was echoed by Jill Martin, the 35-year-old assistant general council for the Trump Organization. She cited a particular incident before a major case went before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. She was almost certain she would be replaced with a male lawyer with more experience. Instead, Trump encouraged her to move forward. He pushed me when I needed it, she told reporters. And several other employees agreed. I have been very, very good for women, Trump told The Post. I was way ahead of the curve. What do you think? Do you support Trump? 
3	Liberty Movement RisingBrandon Smith The label of fringe is a common one used by statists, bureaucrats and paid shills in order to marginalize those who would stand against government corruption. The primary assertion being sold is that the majority joyously supports the establishment; and the majority, of course, is always right. The liberty movement, which is a collection of numerous freedom organizations and political activists brought together by a shared philosophical bond, has been accused of fringe status for quite some time. With corporatist dominance over the mainstream media for decades backing an elitist machine in Washington and a global banking cartel footing the bill with money created from thin air, any such accusation can be made to seem real to those who are unaware. The problem has always been a matter of physical action giving rise to an acknowledgment of numbers. We have all heard the old story of the debate within the ancient Roman government over the idea of forcing the slave population to wear distinct armbands so that they could be more easily identified among the regular population. The concept was rejected on the realization that if the slaves were given a visual confirmation of their considerable numbers and strength, they would be encouraged to revolt against the Roman tyrants. That is to say, as long as the slaves felt isolated, they would remain apathetic and powerless. Of course, that was not always the case. Sometimes, a small group would stand up despite their supposed isolation, and the rest of the world, wide-eyed and astonished, would take notice. I covered my views in detail on the Bundy Ranch saga in Nevada in my article Real Americans Are Ready To Snap, amid the usual choir of disinformation agents and nihilists desperate to convince Web audiences that the liberty movement would do nothing to stop the Bureau of Land Managements militant assault on Cliven Bundys cattle farm. This assault included hundreds of Federal agents, helicopters, contractors hired essentially as cattle rustlers and even teams of snipers. The statists and socialists were certainly out in force to misrepresent the Bundy issue and frighten anyone who might consider taking a stand for the family. The Southern Poverty Law Center, not surprisingly, was hard at work spreading lies and disinformation about the confrontation in Nevada, painting a picture of fractured patriot groups and militiamen with little training going to face unstoppable Federal BLM agents and likely ending up dead. The SPLC insinuated that the movement was ineffective and in over its head. The reality was much the opposite. Liberty groups arrived in droves and were staunchly unified not by a centralized leadership, but in defense of the basic moral principles outlined in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. Sources on the ground at the Bundy ranching operation relayed to me that at least 1,000 activists and militia members arrived over the weekend, with many more on the way. This one event proved certain points: Over the past weekend, we witnessed the true influence of the liberty movement. As thousands of activists and militia arrived in the area, the BLM finally began to understand what it was facing. The government agency that has been terrorized farming communities throughout the West for years, the agency armed with military-grade weaponry and hundreds of agents, ran away, as freedom fighters descended on the region. Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval and Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie, two politicians who were deathly silent during the beginning of the Federal incursion on the Bundy ranch, have now suddenly become vocal in defense of Nevada ranchers against the BLM. Its amazing how inspired politicians can become to do the right thing when they see an army of liberty activistsmarching against tyranny in their own backyard. Not only was the BLM forced to remove itself from the area, but it was also forced to relinquish all the cattle it had stolen from Bundy over the course of the past week. Here, liberty groups close in on the cattle holding pens of the BLM and take back Bundys property. Statists are indignant and furious over the surrender of the BLM. The same people who boasted that liberty activists would be slaughtered by Fed agents are now frothing at the mouth because they did not get their massacre. Not only that, but the bureaucracy they worship has shown itself to be impotent in the face of Constitutional champions. All I can say is nothing puts a bigger grin on my face than to see statists cry like babies when their delusions of grandeur are trampled on. This was a major victory for the liberty movement. But lets be clear; the fight is just beginning. I suspect that the Bundy event will be spun by news agencies and the government until it is unrecognizable. They will claim that the BLM left not because they were wrong, but because they were trying to keep people safe. They will claim that liberty movement protesters were the aggressors and the poor BLM agents were just trying to do their jobs. They will play the race card as they always do, much like this pathetically lazy and unprofessional article from Slate, which asserts that if the Bundys had been black, the Liberty Movement would have never supported them. They will argue the so-called Federal legality of the raid itself, and paint Bundy as a freeloader who refuses to pay taxes and who is living off the American people. They will do everything in their power to destroy the image of the victory and soil the name of the Bundy family. What they dont seem to understand, though, is that the liberty movement does not care what the Federal government deems legal or illegal. Our only interest is what is Constitutional and what is moral. The dispute was never about the legality of Bundys use of the land, which his family used for grazing without interference for generations until 1993, when the BLM used the absurd endangered species protection racket to put all of his neighbors out of business and threaten his ranch with invasion. Add to this the recently discovered fact that Senator Harry Reids former assistant and friend Neil Kornze is now head of the BLM due to Reids influence, and the fact that Harry Reid and his family are reaping financial rewards by driving farmers from all over the region where Cliven Bundys ranch sits while arranging land deals with Chinese solar companies, and one has to ask, why should Bundy pay any of his hard-earned money to the federal government when they are just going to use it to bulldoze his cattle and make Harry Reid more rich? Disinformation websites like Snopes contend that Reids projects are not being established anywhere near the Bundy Ranch; yet, one such project has already been launched only 35 miles south of Bundy, and, the BLM has erased a page from its website specifically mentioning the Bundy Ranch and its interference with Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone Projects, the same projects Harry Reid and his son are heavily involved in. What is amazing to me is that in light of this information hardcore socialists are still willing to defend Reid and the BLM. My question is, if the BLM is so innocent, then why are they erasing such data from their website at all? What were they trying to hide? Harry Reid has not responded to the facts behind his financial involvement in the BLMs attacks on Nevada farmers, except to say that they are conspiracy theories. He added when asked about the status of the confrontation: Yes, Harry, it wont be over until men like you are thrown behind bars. Note that he says an American people; as if he is separate, as if he is referring to all of us as a subservient organism, or servant class. What Reid is saying is, the elites cant have an American people openly exposing their criminality and defying their tyranny, and then just walking away. Im sorry to break it to Reid, but that is exactly how all of this is going to end. Statists and bureaucrats like Reid continually attempt to argue this issue from the standpoint of Federal legality, obviously because the Federal government has the legislative and bureaucratic power to make any despicable action legal (at least on paper) if it wishes. However, the liberty movement has no interest whatsoever in Federal interpretations of legal precedence. We are only concerned with what is right. As the old saying goes, when injustice becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. The liberty movement also fully understands that the Bundy victory was only one battle at the beginning of a long war. The BLM may very well be waiting for activists to leave the area before attacking again. And even if that is not the case, tyrannical systems have a way of attempting to make up for signs of weakness by escalating violence during the next siege. That is to say, we should expect the next event involving the BLM or other government agencies to be even more vicious than the Bundy incident. It is simply the natural inclination of totalitarian systems to exaggerate their power when their failings have been exposed. That said, it should be noted that corrupt leadership often crumbles in the face of steadfast resolve and courage. We have a long way to go before this Nation is once again truly free, but the liberty movement has proven its invaluable worth over the course of the past several days. We arrived at a crossroads, and we are now moving forward in the right direction without fear and without regret. It is in these moments when history is made when common men and women thwart the odds, defy the darkness and make good on their beliefs by risking everything in the name of freedom.

1	Local residents on Friday struggled to recollect the legacy of educator Jerry Kowalski, 68, who next month will complete his 43-year teaching career without having had a lasting impact on the life of even one of his students. 'Oh, yeah, that guy. English class, right? I kind of remember him,' software manager and 1998 Harding High School graduate Andrew Dillard said of his former history teacher, who failed to impart a single life lesson or piece of unforgettable encouragement to any of the 7,178 students who passed through his classroom over the years. 'I don't recall him offering advice or motivating me to make something of myself or anything like that, but I guess he was all right. I think he gave me a B, which was cool.' In contrast, fellow faculty members said they would always remember their departing colleague as someone who sat in the corner of the teacher's lounge smoking and never said much. 
3	US/Turkey Sign Deal to Arm Death Squads in Syria ...while the UN Calls for Assad Govt Ceasefire Against Death Squads According to a Turkish Foreign Ministry Undersecretary and the US Embassy in Ankara, the United States and Turkey have officially signed an agreement that would see the training and equipping of the phantom moderate Syrian rebels wreaking havoc on the Syrian people. The deal was signed Thursday evening by Turkish Foreign Ministry Undersecretary Feridun Sinirlioglu and U.S. Ambassador John Bass. The U.S. Administration has been crowing for some time about a plan to train about 5,000 fighters per year for three years to fight against Assad in Syria and this agreement seems to be the public culmination of this specific plan. This assault on the Syrian government is, of course, being presented as an attempt to fight ISIS. The U.S. military is also stating that it plans to send over 400 troops as well as Special Operations personnel to train these death squad fighters. The United States and NATO have been promoting the false notion that there is such a thing as a moderate rebel inside Syria since the crisis came to a head in 2010 where the collective intelligence agencies of NATO countries and Israel began funding, organizing, training, arming, and directing Islamic extremists to overthrow the secular government of Bashar al-Assad. Ironically, this new agreement comes almost immediately after the United Nations and its NATO wing have publicly called for a ceasefire and truce in Aleppo. Of course, it is important to note that the calls for a truce have come in earnest after the Syrian military has surrounded the city and is poised to retake it. The plan, spearheaded by UN envoy Steffan de Mistura has apparently been in the works for months since about the time that the Syrian military began its encirclement operation around Aleppo. De Misturas plan would involve a six-week truce and the halting of aerial bombardment and artillery shelling of Aleppo in all quarters of the city. De Mistura claims that he received assurances from Syrian President Assad that the Syrian government is willing to participate in the truce. However, it is worth noting that the peace deal benefits only the death squad fighters funded by the West and operating on the ground inside the country, particularly those fighting inside Aleppo. For instance, the proposal seeks to end all aerial bombardment and artillery shelling of all quarters of the city handcuffs that affect the Syrian military much more so than the death squads since the jihadists have no air force with which to bombard the city. Also, while it is true that Western-backed insurgents often fire indiscriminately into civilian areas or target the Syrian military in government-held territory using artillery, the Syrian government is not bombarding the portion of the city that it holds itself thus making the death squad held areas of Aleppo the main target for a ceasefire. After all, with the encirclement of the city, the terrorist-held areas of the city are now in a decidedly defensive position. Few can deny that the proposed truce is very convenient in its timing from the point of view of NATO strategists. As Tony Cartalucci of Land Destroyer writes, It is curious because talks of truces were completely absent just as recently as 2011, when both organizations, the UN and NATO, backed hordes of terrorists sweeping across Libya, committing abhorrent atrocities including the systematic, genocidal extermination of Libyas black communities. Indeed, NATO and UN peace treaties only seem to appear when the NATO terrorist proxies encounter serious trouble on the battlefield. The United Nations peace plan is thus nothing more than an attempt to buy time for Western-backed jihadists to regroup, resupply, and re-strategize in hopes that some other convenient event take place in Syria that will break the encirclement in the meantime. Regardless, it is clear to all who have even the slightest critical faculties left that ceasefires are only reserved for the targets of NATO and US imperialism. Truces, ceasefires, and overtures to peace are a one-way street for NATO. The United States and Turkey (as well as the whole of NATO) are suggesting that Assad stop firing at foreign-backed extremist who have unleashed hell on earth upon his country while, at the same time, openly declaring their intent to recruit, arm, and train these very same terrorists. Whether or not these fighters are extremist terrorists or moderate terrorists is no real matter. The fact is that the United States and NATO have created and directed terrorists to invade a sovereign nation for the purposes of deposing a popular, secular, and stable regime and replacing him with religious fundamentalists so that one more pillar of resistance to Anglo-American domination would be removed from the region. However, the question of whether or not the death squads currently being trained are moderate is one that can easily be answered. The Moderate Rebels Are By No Means Moderate In reality, the so-called opposition in Syria is anything but moderate. As Tony Cartalucci wrote in his article, In Syria, There Are No Moderates, . . . . . there were never, nor are there any moderates operating in Syria. The West has intentionally armed and funded Al Qaeda and other sectarian extremists since as early as 2007 in preparation for an engineered sectarian bloodbath serving US-Saudi-Israeli interests. This latest bid to portray the terrorists operating along and within Syrias borders as divided along extremists/moderate lines is a ploy to justify the continued flow of Western cash and arms into Syria to perpetuate the conflict, as well as create conditions along Syrias borders with which Western partners, Israel, Jordan, and Turkey, can justify direct military intervention. Indeed, even the New York Times has been forced to admit that there are, as Cartalucci expertly argues in his article, no moderates in the ranks of the Syrian death squads. As Ben Hubbard wrote in April, 2013, In Syrias largest city, Aleppo, rebels aligned with Al Qaeda control the power plant, run the bakeries and head a court that applies Islamic law. Elsewhere, they have seized government oil fields, put employees back to work and now profit from the crude they produce. Across Syria, rebel-held areas are dotted with Islamic courts staffed by lawyers and clerics, and by fighting brigades led by extremists. Even the Supreme Military Council, the umbrella rebel organization whose formation the West had hoped would sideline radical groups, is stocked with commanders who want to infuse Islamic law into a future Syrian government. Nowhere in rebel-controlled Syria is there a secular fighting force to speak of. [emphasis added] Even one of the FSA commanders, Bassel Idriss, recently admitted to openly collaborating with ISIS and al-Nusra, revealing yet another example of the fact that the moderate rebels are not moderate at all. In an interview with the Daily Star of Lebanon, Idriss stated We are collaborating with the Islamic State and the Nusra Front by attacking the Syrian Armys gatherings in . . . Qalamoun . . . . Lets face it: The Nusra Front is the biggest power present right now in Qalamoun and we as FSA would collaborate on any mission they launch as long as it coincides with our values. Idriss also admitted that many FSA fighters had pledged allegiance to ISIS. He said, [ISIS] wanted to enhance its presence in the Western Qalamoun area. After the fall of Yabroud and the FSAs retreat into the hills [around Arsal], many units pledged allegiance [to ISIS]. Abu Fidaa, a retired Syrian Army Colonel who is now a part of the Revolutionary Council in the Qalamoun, corroborated Idrisss statements by saying that A very large number of FSA members [in Arsal] have joined ISIS and Nusra. In the end, people want to eat, they want to live, and the Islamic State has everything. Not only the FSA, but also the Syrian Revolutionary Front has also openly admitted to working with Nusra and al-Qaeda. The leader of the SRF, Jamaal Maarouf admitted that his brigades coordinate with Nusra and al-Qaeda regularly. Turkeys Involvement It should also be noted that the Syrian militarys encirclement of Aleppo has also cut off a critical road that acts as a supply route to the death squad terrorists coming from Turkey. Thus, whatever agreement signed by Turkey and the United States is a mere formality on a process that has been taking place since at least 2010. Both countries have been complicit in the arming, funding, directing, training, and facilitating terrorist death squad fighters in Syria. 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, Beginning in 2011 and actually even as early as 2007 the United States has been arming, funding, and supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and a myriad of armed terrorist organizations to overthrow the government of Syria, fight Hezbollah in Lebanon, and undermine the power and influence of Iran, which of course includes any other government or group in the MENA region friendly toward Tehran. Billions in cash have been funneled into the hands of terrorist groups including Al Nusra, Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), and what is now being called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria or ISIS. One can see clearly by any map of ISIS held territory that it butts up directly against Turkeys borders with defined corridors ISIS uses to invade southward this is because it is precisely from NATO territory this terrorist scourge originated. ISIS was harbored on NATO territory, armed and funded by US CIA agents with cash and weapons brought in from the Saudis, Qataris, and NATO members themselves. The non-lethal aid the US and British sent including the vehicles we now see ISIS driving around in. They didnt take this gear from moderates. There were never any moderates to begin with. The deadly sectarian genocide we now see unfolding was long ago predicted by those in the Pentagon current and former officials interviewed in 2007 by Pulitzer Prize-winning veteran journalist Seymour Hersh. Hershs 9-page 2007 report, The Redirection states explicitly: 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. 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, In actuality, ISIS is the product of a joint NATO-GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council] conspiracy stretching back as far as 2007 where US-Saudi policymakers sought to ignite a region-wide sectarian war to purge the Middle East of Irans arch of influence stretching from its borders, across Syria and Iraq, and as far west as Lebanon and the coast of the Mediterranean. ISIS has been harbored, trained, armed, and extensively funded by a coalition of NATO and Persian Gulf states within Turkeys (NATO territory) borders and has launched invasions into northern Syria with, at times, both Turkish artillery and air cover. The most recent example of this was the cross-border invasion by Al Qaeda into Kasab village, Latikia province in northwest Syria. 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. In addition, on October 2, 2014, Turkeys parliament passed a resolution to allow the Turkish military to enter the sovereign territory of Iraq and Syria under the pretext of battling Western-backed IS militants. The resolution also allowed foreign troops to use Turkish territory for the same purpose suggesting that the Incirlik air base may soon be used by the United States for its airstrikes against Syria. The vote was 298 in favor of the motion and 98 opposed. Despite its claims that the vote was centered around defeating ISIS on its borders, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan, perhaps inadvertently, admitted that the real target of NATO aggression is the Syrian government. As the BBC reports, Speaking in parliament earlier on Wednesday, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged the West to find a long-term solution to the crises in Syria and Iraq, pointing out that dropping tonnes of bombs on IS militants would only provide a temporary respite. While he said an effective struggle against IS would be a priority for Turkey, the immediate removal of the administration in Damascus would also continue to be its priority. Erdogan also called for a buffer zone on the Turkey/Syria border which would be enforced by a no-fly zone to ensure security. A buffer zone, of course, has been part of the NATO agenda against Syria since the beginning of the Western-controlled crisis in the country. Remember, it was under the guise of a humanitarian corridor or buffer zone in Libya, that NATO bombing took place which ultimately led to the destruction of the Libyan government, the murder of Ghaddaffi, and the subsequent expansion of chaos, anarchy, and genocide across the entire North African country. Indeed, public discussion of the implementation of a buffer zone began as far back as 2012 when the Brookings Institution, in their memo Assessing Options For Regime Change stated An alternative is for diplomatic efforts to focus first on how to end the violence and how to gain humanitarian access, as is being done under Annans leadership. This may lead to the creation of safe-havens and humanitarian corridors, which would have to be backed by limited military power. This would, of course, fall short of U.S. goals for Syria and could preserve Asad in power. From that starting point, however, it is possible that a broad coalition with the appropriate international mandate could add further coercive action to its efforts. The Brookings Institution went further, however, describing a possible scenario that mirrors the one currently unfolding in Syria where Turkey, in coordination with Israel, could help overthrow Assad by establishing a multi-front war on Syrias borders. Brookings writes, In addition, Israels intelligence services have a strong knowledge of Syria, as well as assets within the Syrian regime that could be used to subvert the regimes power base and press for Asads removal. Israel could posture forces on or near the Golan Heights and, in so doing, might divert regime forces from suppressing the opposition. This posture may conjure fears in the Asad regime of a multi-front war, particularly if Turkey is willing to do the same on its border and if the Syrian opposition is being fed a steady diet of arms and training. Such a mobilization could perhaps persuade Syrias military leadership to oust Asad in order to preserve itself. Advocates argue this additional pressure could tip the balance against Asad inside Syria, if other forces were aligned properly. Turkey has been whining and groaning for some time over an influx of Syrian refugees as a result of a humanitarian crisis that it helped create with its support and facilitation of Islamic fundamentalist death squad forces funded by the West and allowed to travel into Syria through Turkeys borders. The most recent influx of refugees came from the city of Kobani, where ISIS fighters were herded by American airstrikes for the purposes of reinforcing the fighters already battling Kurdish and Syrian forces there. As Tony Cartalucci comments in his own article Turkey Preparing For Syria Occupation? Of course, with US airstrikes carving out a vacuum soon to be filled with extremists uncontested by the Syrian Arab Army forced to back off in fear of provoking further Western aggression, the situation will undoubtedly deteriorate. Just as Turkey staged false flag operations along its border last year in attempts to trigger a war with Syria directly, and by supporting terrorists resulting in a predictable humanitarian catastrophe now spilling over into Turkey territory, the vacuum the US is intentionally creating is meant to be filled with terrorist mercenaries and NATO forces to protect them as the front is inched ever closer to Damascus in the form of a buffer zone. Conclusion In the end, the recent Turkey/US agreement is by no means anything new. Both states have, as a part of NATO, acted as the trainers, directors, financiers, and facilitators of death squads and terrorists running rampant across Syria. Thus, fake peace agreements and politically based truces are no longer acceptable and they are no longer credible in the eyes of any informed observer. Only true and total peace, stability, and reconstruction are acceptable options for Syria. Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

Think we may see Russia offer defensive support for the Syrian government. If Russia moved to do this, not sure if China would also aid in defensive support. Believe if these events unfold as such we may see a real end to terrorism. China could call in all US debts, enforce economic sanctions on the US as well. There may even be trade embargos against the US and Turkey. This would create a pivitol role for the BRICS unification. Maybe I am seeing things in error, or maybe too clearly. I am merely offering speculation, thoughts, opinion here. Please take it or leave it as simply that. If Im in error my humbled apologies. Yea this WONT backfire, nope not at all Most Americans are sheep. they will follow wherever the MSM, the federal crime cabal and John Hagee tell them to go. If they had a good, moral leader, they would as a herd move in a moral direction. America and the American people are a host for an parasitic disease carring evil. The parasite must be eradicated to cleanse the world from evil. I am wondering how the USA government can commit ACTS of WAR over and over around the world against sovereign governments and get away with it??? Arming and training military entities to fight in Syria against that sovereign government, in my mind is an act of war! America is and has been the globalists trump card so to speak. Unknowing to the general public, our country has been used (maybe our creation was) for the very purpose of bringing about the New World Order that we have heard so much about over the last 20 or so years. I encourage you to do some research on the subject. A lot of your confusion will be relieved. And whether you are or arent a Christian, Bible prophecy (even surprising to many of us in the church) is astoundingly parallel to what we are witnessing right now. Be safe and God bless. Hi immxdmta4, Kateyou are so kind. Im not used to that in response to comments! lol I understand you now. I do the same but its usually in my head. Im glad you are informed soooo many arent. I occasionally miss my former ignorant bliss Your suspicions will be validated by reading The Secret Destiny of America by Manly P Hall. So these Syrian Death Squads get lots of free 5.56 x 45 NATO ammo but its banned for American citizens? kate47 you are right on yet the populous doesnt waver When you learn that ISIS is a US/ Israeli death squad and then listen how CNN and FOX and even our president talks about them, then you realize everything in the news is a total lie. I pull the plug on my tv set next month. This point is where the Patriotic American has to wake up..America, the christian, has been positioned with Christ for so long that America, the christian can not see that it is not the kingdom of HeavenWe have been singing the songs of His glory but have been failing to be repentant and trustworthy unto HimWhat hypocrisy.But, you may say, America has always been like this, as has the whole worldso why now would its sins be judged as opposed to earlier?.To answer that question one would have to know what is in the Bible. One of the major sins of America is that as a Christian nation it has failed to uphold its agreement with God, it has failed to follow Him in His Bible and that by the first sin of not teaching what is actually in the Bible. The Why now? question with no answer is the fault of the myriads of preachers who claim to be His preachers. America is what its people make it. Israel is what God makes it. See the difference? As the people fall away they become just like all others or any other pagan nation. There is no mandate from God to Himself, no promise to America, that He would hold them together, or break them apart, or bring them back together.That is with Israel and those who IsraelitesMany Israelites live here in America and are honest and trustworthy to Him. They are Americans by birth or citizenship but they are also Israelites due to their faithfulness to Him. Many American christians can not see that their country is not the Kingdom of Heaven on earth or that when the King comes, ie: Jesus returns in His Second coming that America will not be the kingdom of Heaven on earth.If America wants to be helped by God it must be honest before Him, it must repent. But, as from this article we can see that America is as evil as any other country, in spite of all the Israelites that live within its borders. So what is God to do? Should He protect His people, should He call them out? Should gather them so that they can be undisturbed by the chaos of the others who are not His people? Many of His people are not Americans. What of them? Should they too be protected? I would think that they should be. In fact, I do believe that is what the Bible actually says will happen. With Israel under Christ there can be no dual citizenship as there is no multiculturalism.It is important to note that being a patriot to your country as a Christian will not save the country from the punishment of God because you are a Christian. The God of Heaven is saving Israel. Are you Israel? Can you get America to repent? If so then you may be able to keep it from judgement, but if not then you must remember that you belong to Israel and when the time comes for you to let go of the country you are in you must let it goeven if that country is America. Mr. Turbevilles research is very complicated to follow, I just watched Susan RIce on Charlie Rose (Tues.P.m.)saying that it is unusual that with ISIL there is Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and Jordan, and others ,all united in its opposition to it. She said no country supports ISIL, and that the USA is not trying currently to dismantle the Assad regime, only to take out ISIL. Now I read these complicated intrigues involving international agents on selfnews. I cannot easily digest this, but for the sake of looking at either side I read it. The level of aggression I meet by commentators online is sad because different sides should be discussed for the sake of understanding. I wonder if world events are simpler than they seem, as the story of Bushs people planning to go into Iraq before he was elected, and that he just wanted to finish off what his father started in Iraq? I am mainly concerned about what is not reported, the radicalization of the Arab Spring, the unrest of populations in Libya and Syria leading to a drive to oust the leader, supported by NATO in both incidences, Obama calling it supporting freedom fighters in Libya. What has NATO accomplished there? Throughout the Muslim world they have striven to take out the Christian, Jewish and other non-Muslims populations,and the blacks leaving Libya are Christian blacks, that is not reported by the media. Media is sympathetic to black persecution, but not to Christian persecution. Look at Iraq, horrible violence and emigration is the lot of them there. Is the Islamization of these lands in NATOs or USAs interest? Why? I would like to see some research about this in selfnewss posts. I know Obama does meet behind closed doors with radical Muslim Brotherhood, and he is driving toward making our military non-Christian, with Mikey Weinstein, as opposed to our heritage, at the time he is trying to install Muslims in our government and says this is not a Christian nation, contrary to our physical and spiritual founding, as a people endowed by Our Creator, in our Constitution.

Vaccines just seal the deal.. drTenPenny.com or vactruth.com for the best vax history and wtf is in them.They should have to label everything in them and the reason. 
3	Report states tech giants worked with government surveillance program, companies deny role in PRISMMadison Ruppert All of this comes in response to the reports exposing the NSAs massive surveillance program known as PRISM which gives them access to the servers of some of the largest Internet companies which was quickly defended by Obama. The information about PRISM was released shortly after it was revealed that Verizon was secretly ordered to hand over all the records of U.S. phone calls in their system. Now the New York Times reports that in some cases the companies actually changed their computer systems to make it more efficient and secure for the government to conduct surveillance. These were far from low-level discussions, according to people briefed on the discussions and one person who actually attended who was cited by the Times. In recent months Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, traveled to Silicon Valley to meet with executives at Facebook, Microsoft, Google and Intel with the official aim of discussing the future of the Internet but the conversation went further. The details revealed by the Times show how the companies that thoroughly denied any knowledge of a program where they provided direct access to their servers could say such a thing without outright lying. The companies drew a bright line between giving the government wholesale access to its servers to collect user data and giving them specific data in response to individual court orders. Each said it did not provide the government with full, indiscriminate access to its servers, the New York Times reports. The companies acknowledged that they do comply with Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) requests and other court orders, which is what the negotiations would fall under. As Josh Constantine noted for TechCrunch, the language they used was quite clever indeed. Direct Access didnt mean no access. Back door didnt mean no door. Only in accordance with the law didnt mean PRISM is illegal. And you didnt need to have heard of a codename to have participated. Larry, Zuck, you didnt spell out your denials of the NSAs data spying program in plain English, and now we know why. You were obligated to help the government in its spying, but were muzzled. Larry refers to Google co-founder and CEO Larry Page and Zuck refers to co-founder, chairman and CEO of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg. Both released statements in response to the PRISM news along with every other company named in the NSA presentation according to the Guardian. Chris Soghoian, a tech expert and privacy researcher at the American Civil Liberties Union similarly explained to Foreign Policy that the phrase direct access connotes a very specific form of access in the IT-world: unrestricted, unfettered access to information stored on Google servers. In order to run a system such as PRISM, Soghoian explains, such access would not be required, and Googles denial that it provided direct access does not necessarily imply that the company is denying having participated in the program. Normally, the only people who have that kind of direct access to the servers of an Internet giant like Google would be Google engineers. Soghoian similarly said that Googles denial of setting up a back door could very well be accurate since a back door means a method of accessing a system that is neither documented nor known by the systems owner. By denying that it set up a back door, Google is not denying that it worked with the NSA to set up a system through which the agency could access the companys data, Foreign Policy notes. Similar to the point raised by Constantine, Foreign Policy notes that there is no reason to believe that the intelligence officials who reportedly worked with Google would use the actual codename of the program with them. Even when Google says they provide user data to governments only in accordance with the law, there is reason to believe they arent lying. PRISM as we know it currently is most likely within the bounds of the law, according to George Washington University Law School professor Orin Kerr. It seems the cleverly worded responses have fooled many people into thinking they were denying any and all involvement in any program remotely resembling what we know about PRISM. Apparently that is not the case. A few deftly placed words can make a lot of difference.

1	Saying the consequences of unleashing such a fragrance were too grave to even contemplate, Bath & Body Works scientists announced Friday that they had destroyed an experimental new scent after determining it was unfit for humankind. We cannot in good conscience develop this potentially catastrophic fragrance into body scrub- or bath bead-form and allow it to be used on innocent civilians, and thus we have terminated our Cherry Blossom Night project effective immediately, said Bath & Body Works chief scientist Craig Holzmann of the secret five-year-long program, stressing that, with its intoxicating notes of warm vanilla, Himalayan cedarwood, and Asian pear, the scent could far too easily be mishandled by human hands, resulting in unthinkable devastation. For too long, our desire to advance the fields of sensuous scents and luscious lotions has blinded us to the very thing that made us human. Only now, after testing the very limits of olfactory enchantment, do we understand how foolhardy it was to ever believe man could responsibly wield such aromatic power. Holzmann noted, however, that just enough Cherry Blossom Night for a single misting would be stored underground in a secure facility as a warning to future generations. 
3	Ethics Professor Says Its Quite Reasonable to Kill Disabled Babies via ObamacareBy Daisy Luther A professor at the highly esteemed Princeton University doesnt want his Obamacare premiums to increase because of caring for severely disabled babies.Dr. Pete Singer, who teaches ethics (but perhaps needs a little refresher on what the word ethics means) argued during a radio interview on Sunday that America should be more accepting of intentionally ending the lives of severely disabled infants. First, a definition: In the famous words of Inigo Montoya, You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. Singer, a longtime mouthpiece for eugenicists everywhere, has previously drawn fire for his belief that the right to life is directly related to a persons intelligence and ability to feel pleasure and pain, is back in the spotlight. In 1993, wrote a treatise called Practical Ethics: Taking Life: Humans. He clearly hasnt changed his mind. During the interview he argued that it was quite reasonable to ration healthcare for disabled infants: I think it would be reasonable for governments to say, This treatment is not going to be provided on the national health service if its a country with a national health service. Or in the United States on Medicare or Medicaid. And I think it will be reasonable for insurance companies also to say, You know, we wont insure you for this or we wont insure you for this unless you are prepared to pay an extra premium, or perhaps they have a fund with lower premiums for people who dont want to insure against that. Because I think most people, when they think about that, would say thats quite reasonable. You know, I dont want my health insurance premiums to be higher so that infants who can experience zero quality of life can have expensive treatments.(source) Is anyone else chilled by the fact that people like Singer are the ones teaching the next generations about ethical behavior?

3	Americas War on North KoreaStephen Lendman Trumans war never ended. Its origin was misreported. I.F. Stones Hidden History of the Korean War explained. Monthly Review co-founders Leo Huberman and Paul Sweezy wrote in the preface: This book.paints a very different picture of the Korean War one, in fact, which is at variance with the official version at almost every point. Stones investigative research presented a full-scale reassessment of the whole war. French publisher Claude Bourdet added: If Stones thesis corresponds to reality, we are in the presence of the greatest swindle in the whole of military history.not a question of a harmless fraud but of a terrible maneuver in which deception is being consciously utilized to block peace at a time when it is possible. Stone called it international aggression. So did Huberman and Sweezy, saying: .we have come to the conclusion that (South Korean president) Syngman Rhee deliberately provoked the North Koreans in the hope that they would retaliate by crossing the parallel in force. The northerners fell neatly into the trap. Beating up on North Korea persists. Its done for geopolitical reasons. Washington needs enemies. When none exist theyre created. North Korea comes straight from central casting. On March 11, North Korea cut its hotline with the South. It abrogated the 1953 armistice. It did so as US and South Korean forces began joint exercises. Theyre provocative when held. Days earlier, the Security Council voted new sanctions. They followed Pyongyangs mid-February nuclear test. They targeted its banking and finance system. They froze normal international transactions. They involved other restrictions. North Korea said the US is set to light a fuse for nuclear war. Its military exercise(s) the right to a (defensive) preemptive nuclear attack. Its state-run Rodong Sinmun said the armistice agreement has been nullified. (N)o one can expect what will happen next. South Koreas Defense Ministry responded. Pyongyangs government would evaporate from the face of the earth if it uses nuclear weapons. Newly elected South Korean President Park Guen-hye said We must deal strongly with a North Korean provocation. White House National Security Advisor, Tom Donilon warned: There should be no doubt. We will draw upon the full range of our capabilities to protect against, and to respond to, the threat posed to us and to our allies by North Korea. On March 30, North Korea announced a state of war. It did so with the South. Its rhetoric belies continued policy. Conflict remains unlikely. Its official statement said in part: The moves of the US imperialists to violate the sovereignty of the DPRK and encroach upon its supreme interests have entered an extremely grave phase. The Supreme Command of the KPA in its previous statement solemnly declared at home and abroad the will of the army and people of the DPRK to take decisive military counteraction to defend the sovereignty of the country and the dignity of its supreme leadership as regards the war moves of the US and south Korean puppets that have reached the most extreme phase. It is the resolute answer of the DPRK and its steadfast stand to counter the nuclear blackmail of the US imperialists with merciless nuclear attack and their war of aggression with just all-out war. Time has come to stage a do-or-die final battle. From this moment, the north-south relations will be put at the state of war and all the issues arousing between the north and the south will be dealt with according to the wartime regulations. The state of neither peace nor war has ended on the Korean Peninsula. .(T)he Korean people will give vent to the pent-up grudge and realize their cherished desire and thus bring a bright day of national reunification and build the best power on this land without fail. White House National Security Council spokeswoman, Caitlin Hayden said: Weve seen reports of a new and unconstructive statement from North Korea. We take these threats seriously and remain in close contact with our South Korean allies. But, we would also note that North Korea has a long history of bellicose rhetoric and threats and todays announcement follows that familiar pattern. No signs of military activity exist. Kaesongs industrial zone remains open. Its operating normally. South Korean companies run it. A war of words continue. Its familiar. Weve seen it all before. Washington bears full responsibility. Obamas Asia pivot involves advancing Americas military footprint. Doing so aggressively is planned. Chinas growing economic might and military strength are targeted. So is checking Russia at the same time. North Koreas a convenient punching bag. They dont come any better. Beating up on Pyongyang is policy. Its longstanding. It shows no signs of ending. It continues ad nauseam. Americas so-called missile defense is for offense. In mid-March, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said additional numbers would be added in Alaska. Others are planned for Asia. In Japan, tracking radar systems were added. China and Russia oppose them. They do so for good reason. Theyre prime targets. Undermining their influence is policy. So is isolating them from neighbors and asserting Washingtons dominance over territories and waters not its own. Washington deployed B-2 stealth bombers to South Korea. They dropped dummy bombs on Jik Do island. US Forces Korea (USFK) said Americas ability to conduct long-range, precision strikes quickly and at will (shall) provide extended deterrence to our allies in the Asia-Pacific region. B-2s are equipped for nuclear bombs and missiles. Capability doesnt reflect policy. North Korea poses Washington and Seoul no threat. On the one hand, US officials suggest it. On the other, saber rattling implies otherwise. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un says Pyongyang will amass a nuclear arsenal. Its needed to deter aggression. After B-2s overflew South Korea, Rodong Sinmun said US provocations make American Pacific Rim bases prime targets. Russian analyst Evgeny Kim said introducing B2s openly provok(es) North Korea. Seoul remains calms. Pyongyang takes US threats seriously. At the same time, initiating wars unlikely. Doing so would be suicidal. Potentially, a spark could ignite it. Small incidents at times cause big ones. Another Asian war would be disastrous. China and Russia might intervene. If nuclear weapons are used, all bets are off. Its hard imagining what no head of state should risk. For sure Kim Jong-un wont. At the same time, Obamas Asia pivot makes anything possible. Events bear close watching.

2	Young Angels Care For Disabled Veteran At Wallmart Goes Viral Morgan Wheeler was leaving Wallmart on just another typical day when she saw a disabled veteran crossing the street in front of her. He waved in apology for taking so long. Here is the post from her Facebook. I asked him if I could assist him with his shopping today, and he, quite grumpily, said that he was doing just fine and was not getting much anyways. Me, being as stubborn as I am, insisted and proceeded to push him and tell him a little about myself. He interrupted me and said that he only needed help to the door, to which I picked up where I had left off before he interrupted me. I told him about Fayetteville, and my horses, and my nephews (I had parked a good ways away from the doors). And when I reached the doors, I continued to push him and talk. We reached the produce area and I asked him to tell me about himself. He reluctantly looked at me and began telling me that he lived in Sod- Lincoln County, and that he just recently lost his wife. I asked him if he was a veteran, to which he replied that he was- but with pain on his face, so I changed the subject and asked if he had made a shopping list. On his shopping list were four items: peanut butter, soup, bread, and bananas. He said he couldnt carry any more from the store to his home. When Wheeler gave him money for food and a ride, he broke down in tears. I knelt down and asked him what was wrong and he replied, that I was doing far too much for an old man that I barely knew. I told him that where I am from, and from the family I was raised in, we help one another, no matter the task and that I had never met a stranger. I also told him that he deserved everything I was doing for him because he fought for my freedom and sacrificed so much. We made it to the check out line and I paid for his groceries, against his request. When we got outside, we waited for the taxi together. He thanked me over and over again and appearedto meto have been in a much better mood than when I found him. Wheeler began crying once she got back to her car. She describes this as a truly humbling experience and claims the veteran is a hero. She is completely right. This post has been shared over 300,000 times on Facebook. Lets help this amazing story go viral. Share if you think this is an incredible story. 
3	10 Outrageous Crimes The Banksters Hope You ForgetMick Meaney This report hopes to serve as a reminder that widespread corruption within the banking industry is nothing new; in fact, you could say it was built that way. So here were going to look at just a handful of crimes that the banksters hope you forget: In the Iran Contra scandal, the Bank of Credit and Commerce International revealed how it aided the CIA and other intelligence agencies in laundering billions of dollars in financial fraud, illegal drugs deals, and other crimes. In August 2005 Morgan Stanley was forced to settle a class-action law suit for duping their clients. The bank sold precious metal under false pretenses, claiming that it was bought and stored by the company when in fact the bank went ahead and invested in lesser value stocks and securities. 3. Fraudulent Foreclosure Giant banks have been shown to have engaged in fraudulent foreclosure practices. The big banks used robo-signers to forge mortgage documents which led to many people losing their homes. This included people that never held any mortgages. Even president Obama was affected. Attorney generals from 40 states have launched investigations. 4. Drug Money In 2009 the United Nations drug and crime tsar reported to The Observer that drug money to the tune of billions of dollars saved the financial system from going under during the global crisis. 5. Nazi Connections In 1999 the BBC reported that the NAZIs were funded by American banks. According to unclassified documents, Manhattan Chase Bank froze the assets of Jews when it collaborated with German authorities during the war. 6. Mortgage Scams The Bank of America NA received financial incentives from a federal program to assist homeowners get mortgage-loan modifications. However, it prevented the home owners from receiving these modification programs that could have saved them millions of dollars in losses. 7. Illegal Fees And in a massive fraud against American taxpayers and veterans, JP Morgan Chase and San Franciscos Wells Fargo Bank of America and appeared on the list of 13 banks and mortgage lenders that charged military veterans illegal fees to refinance their home loans. In order to conceal the illegal fees, the banks and mortgage companies inflated the legal charges. 8. Manipulating Interest Rates Morgan Stanley was exposed for its part in hiking interest rates. Unsealed documents revealed that the global bank cabal colluded and schemed for many years to manipulate the interest rates. 9. Insider Trading Research indicates that most cases of bank fraud usually involve the banks insiders. More than half of these cases usually involve chief executives, finance directors, and other senior managers. 10. Dirty Money Like always, these crimes are just a glimpse into the murky world of the corrupt establishment. Do your own research, the items listed here are just the beginning. http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,157496,00.html Related selfnews Post Article: You can read more from Mick Meaney at his site RINF.com, where this first appeared.

Michelle attempted to remain stone-faced during the event, but it is clear that she is embarrassed by the less-than-warm welcome. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	Sources close to local couple Jeremy and Eliza Conyers said that their persistent, blatantly physical, and extremely public displays of hostility are becoming increasingly difficult to tolerate. 'Every time I turn around, they've got their hands all over each other, and it just makes me sick to my stomach,' friend Jean Potter said. 'We're always like, 'Hey, you two, get a room with a staircase and lots of doorknobs and a lamp with a long cord, why don't you?'' Potter added that she feared an instance in which things get so hot and heavy between the Conyerses that someone may have to say something to them. 
1	Newly elected Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (DCA) accused her fellow House Democrats of 'just mouthing support' for a bill she introduced that is expected to pass overwhelmingly when the incoming 110th Congress convenes next year. <h3>Speaking Her Mind</h3><p>'It's obvious you don't really want to, and you're only doing it because you think that's what I want.'</p><p>Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi</p> 'You shouldn't just pass it because I want it, but because you want it, too,' said Pelosi of the bill, which would reduce interest rates on federally funded college loans. 'I'm really disappointed you're not as excited as I am about this bill. It says a lot. It really says a lot.' Rep. Jerry Costello (DIL), a vocal advocate of the bill, expressed confusion over Pelosi's reaction to his support. 'I don't understand what Speaker Pelosi expects from us, though I don't dare say that to her,' Costello said. 'I've been trying to be extra nice to her lately after she told me that my voting record on Medicare and prescription-drug issues has been 'distant' lately. 'Distant?' What does that even mean?' Pelosi said that her doubts about the reception toward her bill stem from a general fear that Capitol Hill politicians were 'only going through the motions lately' and 'merely placating me to keep me quiet.' She also expressed concern that her relationship to the House was based completely on voting. 'I want to be part of a Congress that doesn't pass legislation just to pass it, but because it really, truly believes in it,' Pelosi said. 'I don't care if we don't get a single bill out of committee the whole time I'm Speakerjust as long as we're open and honest about where we're at.' 'I'm a pretty good judge of congressional character, you know,' Pelosi added. 'I can tell when a legislative body is hiding something.' Signs of Pelosi's second-guessing began to show in September, after she first proposed the bill on the House floor. When Rep. Edward Markey (DMA) called the bill a 'good, common-sense measure,' Pelosi requested additional floor time to start her address over from the beginning, on the grounds that 'the members present had obviously not paid attention to a single word.' While delivering the address a second time, she paused midway to request that Rep. Bill Shuster (RPA) repeat what she just said. 'I remember once on the phone, when she called me trying to gather support for the bill, she got mad when I said, 'Sure, I'll vote for it,'' Rep. Chris Van Hollen (DMD) said. 'She said, 'That's all you can say, 'Sure?' When you know how important this is to me?' I told her I was on board with whatever she wanted and then she just made this exasperated groan and hung up.' 'At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if we never saw this bill again,' Van Hollen added. Not content with the status quo, Pelosi told her fellow Democrats that 'there's going to be a lot of changes in the way we communicate' after the Congressional recess. According to Pelosi, deliberations on the House floor will be based on 'total candor' about 'what Congress is really feeling about individual pieces of legislation, the motives behind the voting, and the tone of the discussion.' If she feels the talks have failed, Pelosi plans to alert the 434 other representatives of her displeasure by doing nothing for several weeks and then bursting into tears in the middle of House debates on agricultural subsidies. 'Sometimes I wish I'd never gotten involved with a Congress like this at all,' Pelosi said. 'It's not just this one bill, it's their whole attitude about everything. I can't help but think that I'd be better off all alone in this hallowed chamber.' While House Democrats said they look forward to working with the first female House Speaker, in private they expressed reservations about whether she will be able to make the transition to the new position. Several representatives cited an outburst on the House floor in October during which Pelosi told the governing body that if they didn't know what was on the weekly legislative agenda, then she certainly wasn't going to tell them. 
3	3D Printed Wikiweapon Company Has Equipment SeizedJ.G. Vibes There are many technologies that are beginning to emerge in the consumer market that have the potential to radically disrupt the status quo and shift the power balance on this earth in favor of the general population. For Defense Distributed and the Wikiweapon project, it already has been a long and difficult battle. This is not the first time that they have had the plug pulled on their operation.The project also faced difficulties in late August, when IndieGogo shut down the projects campaign, citing a terms of service violation regarding the sale of firearms. Unphased, the group turned to Bitcoin and raised $20,000 to rent the Stratasys 3D printer which was ultimately taken back. There is good news though: the creators of this project are determined to fight the power and do all of the difficult legwork to make it easier for people in the future to freely use this kind of technology. After his printer was seized Wilson told Wired that: We want everyone else to not have to do these things, so fine, well do them, well fool around with it, well pay the thousands of dollars per year, Its just disgusting. I hate that thats the way it is, but thats apparently the regulatory landscape. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	BREAKING: Tim Tebow Receives Devastating News, He Needs Your Support Now More Than Ever According to recent reports, the Philadelphia Eagles just dropped quarterback Tim Tebow from their roster on Saturday, putting the nail in the coffin in the attempt to come back to the NFL. Tebow handled the situation with composure and grace. Thanks Eagle and Coach Kelly for giving me the opportunity to play the game I love! Romans 8:28 #Blessed Tebow tweeted. The Bible verse he cited reads: And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Of course, Tebow and his fans were shocked about the decision. In fact, his position on the team seemed to be almost a sure thing, given that he threw multiple touchdown passes in the preseason. Although Tebow will not continue with the Eagles, he does have the chance of being picked up by another team as a free agent. Do you support Tebow?

'Maybe if you're on your best behavior, and a big help to Mommy, Santa could bring you...a Lenox gravy boat!' Schultz bolstered his holiday messages by urging children to act now, as their good behavior could qualify their parents for a 10 percent discount on their first Nordstrom credit-card purchase.

1	Noting the distinct lack of fanfare surrounding his departure last Friday, employees at Empire Marketing Solutions concluded that sales associate Brent Wheeler was not quite important enough to warrant a formal send-off on his last day of work. A few weeks ago there was a whole big gathering for Paul with cupcakes and everything, but for Brent, there was just this one-sentence mention in our weekly update email from our office manager that was mostly about the break room refrigerator policy, said coworker Dana Oppenheim, adding that a couple people who happened to see Wheeler heading for the door at the end of the day did take a moment to wish him well. So thats it, I guess. Hes gone now. Oppenheim added, however, that Wheelers unheralded exit made sense given that in five years at the company he had never become important enough for coworkers to acknowledge his birthday. 
3	Turkeys Crackdown on Criticism Continues as Journalists, 10K Civil Servants ArrestedBy James Holbrooks Turkish police detained the editor and senior staff of a leading opposition newspaper on Monday over its alleged support for a failed coup in July, writes Reuters, in a move described by a top EU politician as the crossing of a red line against freedom of expression. That E.U. politician, Parliament President Martin Schulz, speaking via Twitter, additionally stated that The ongoing massive purge seems motivated by political considerations, rather than legal and security rationale. To date, over 110,000 people have been either fired or suspended, and 37,000 have been arrested during Erdoans ongoing consolidation of power. The news agency raided, Cumhuriyet, is described by Reuters as one of few media outlets still critical of Erdogan. When asked to comment on his detention, one journalist, as he was being carted away, said: I work for Cumhuriyet, isnt that enough? Another employee, cartoonist Musa Kart, told reporters: This is a comical situation. It is not possible for people with a conscience to accept this. You cant explain this to the world. I am being detained solely for drawing caricatures. Over the past three and a half months, some 170 varied newspapers, magazines, and television stations have been shut down in Turkey who, incidentally, is both a NATO member and a candidate for E.U. membership. Mondays news directly follows the revelation that 10,000 more government workers among them academics, teachers, health workers, prison guards and forensic experts had been sacked over the weekend, in a move made legal through two new executive orders published on the Official Gazette late on Saturday. As highlighted by the BBC, the last edition published by Cumhuriyets senior staff featured a plain but highly appropriate headline: A few copies of Mondays edition had been left at the gates of Cumhuriyets premises. The headline read simply: Coup against opposition. The story was about the suspension of thousands of civil servants and other laws introduced under emergency decrees. Only hours afterwards, the editor-in-chief and several writers were detained and arrest warrants issued for over a dozen of the papers executives. Erdoans crackdown on free speech and journalistic license has riled some of his formerly staunch Western allies such the the United States, who purport to view freedom of expression as a paramount ideal. The situation is complicated further by the fact that Turkey, under Erdoans newfound boldness, is displaying an independent streak on Middle Eastern battlefronts that lends an element of uncertainty to those events, particularly in Iraq and Syria. The complexity of it all was aptly characterized in another Monday article by Reuters: The unprecedented crackdown at home and his bellicose stance on the world stage have alarmed Western and some regional allies, who fear the NATO member and EU candidate nation is becoming an ever more unpredictable partner, and one over which they have decreasing leverage.

Gog/Magog Always be a light that is shininginthedark I think the elected Turkish government has the right to protect itself from such events plotted to cause riot and send the country to a situation like what is happening now in Egypt and Syria. Better to informed public well than resort to Sedition Acts (John Adams). Natural born rights should be inviolable. Here in the U.S. they own the entire MSM, so no need to shut it down. Truth is what they say, yellow is red and they decide what is real and what is illusion or collusion, as in the case of Huma and Killary. Jade Helm15 was a training exercise that the DoD used with the intent of covertly rounding up dissidents. It looks to me like those special operations forces are using the skills that they honed. and are probably expanding training at the same time to bring it back home when the time comes. 
3	What Does Liberty Really Mean to You?David Galland The trigger for this entirely personal discourse comes from reading various articles and viewing various YouTube videos and speeches from self-styled champions of liberty (COL). There is even an entire conference, Mark Skousens FreedomFest, dedicated to the topic. Invariably, these well-meaning COL rail against The Man (something I do myself), accentuating their public angst by sharing stories of being molested by the TSA or otherwise inconvenienced by minions of the state. It is my contention that most of these individuals, and certainly the majority of freedom-loving Americans, dont actually understand the meaning of liberty, but rather give the matter little more than lip service. And again, I dont mean liberty in an abstract way like, say, world peace but tangibly. Now, before going on, tripping emotional wires as I do, I feel the need to quickly establish my bona fides on the topic. I start with the simple fact that with age, and 58 years old counts, comes perspective. In addition, unlike most of todays COL, I have actually been jailed for rioting against authority at the nave age of 14, as the result of actively participating in the toe-to-toe anti-war confrontations during the Oakland Induction Center Riots of the late 1960s. In addition, as over-the-top as it now sounds, along with my now-departed friend and colleague of many years, Jim Blanchard, I spent many months assisting the RENAMO-led freedom fighters raise awareness in their fight against Mozambiques vicious dictatorship. The adventure ultimately ended up with us in a very tight spot under house arrest in neighboring Malawi, followed by a high-speed car chase with the Malawian secret police in hot pursuit. And, finally, I would mention my involvement in helping to create La Estancia de Cafayate in a remote wine-growing region of Argentina, without question the largest and most successful community of largely libertarian-minded individuals on the planet. All of which is to say that Im not arriving to this discussion fresh off the back of a turnip truck. So, what does liberty mean to me? In the simplest and purest terms, it means being free to come and go as I please. Of course it would be my strong preference to come and go without the charade and indignity of transportation security instituted by most nations these days (ironically, the Land of the Free being the worst of the lot). But, unlike some prominent COL, I dont make the mistake of conflating transiting airports with protesting against the inanity of transport security. Thats because if I wanted to mount a protest against TSA, I would do it in an organized fashion. Say, by arranging for a large and loud demonstration at whatever passes for TSAs headquarters, making sure that the media was there to provide coverage. I certainly wouldnt do it ad hoc without media present, on a day when I actually needed to travel from point A to point B. After all, like trees falling in remote woods, if a protest happens and theres no media to record it, was there a protest? The polar opposite to being free to come and go as one pleases, the essential tenet to my personal definition of liberty, is to be trapped in a jail cell. Been there, done that and very much have no interest in doing it again. Thus, I avoid engaging in activities where one of the possible outcomes is being arrested and jailed. For example, making angry displays when a TSA minion asks me to take off my shoes. Now, I realize that the degradation of principles and justice in countries such as the US means that pretty much everyone breaks a law or three every day, but miscarriages of justice resulting in an innocent person being sentenced to jail (or gunned down) are statistically very rare. Yes, they happen but so does getting struck by lightning. Thus, when I talk about acting in a fashion unlikely to lead to being locked up in a cage, Im talking about playing simple odds. And no, I dont need to be a cowering sheep to keep the odds of my being jailed near zero. Rather, I just need to take note of the laws of whatever land my feet are currently planted on and avoid tripping over the big stuff. In the US, for example, walking around with a bag of pot in your pocket could lead to jail time. In Uruguay or Amsterdam or dozens of other countries, its legal. So, when in the US again, ironically still called the Land of the Free I can manage without the pot. (Actually, Ive done without pot for many decades; Im just using this as an illustration.) Failing to pay the legally proscribed amount of taxes is another easy way to end up in jail. As a US citizen, theres no denying Im trapped in a tax regime I find abhorrent and counterproductive to the building of capital. Thats a big disadvantage compared to many countries. But am I willing to trade my liberty for the money I might be able to hide from the IRS? Hardly. That would be the equivalent of choosing the latter when confronted by a gun-wielding thug demanding my money or my life. Does this mean Im powerless against the institutionalized theft of taxation? Not at all. It just means I have to work harder to uncover legal ways to minimize the tax bite, starting by hiring good counsel. And lets not forget, for the citizens of most countries, minimizing the tax burden is as simple as getting on a plane, as unlike the Land of the Free they dont tax non-resident citizens on worldwide income. As for US citizens, if the issue is important enough to you, there are specific steps you can take to legally avoid the taxes altogether, by replacing the passport you carry in your pocket. Its not particularly quick or easy, but if paying less (no?) taxes is that important to you, then there are clear paths to accomplishing just that objective without risking the loss of your liberty. Im not making these comments cavalierly, but rather to point out hard facts about the world we live in. So, freedom to come and go is the core principle of my personal liberty. What else? Well, part of that freedom has to do with personal finances. Namely, you can have all the liberty in the world, but if you dont have the money necessary to actually travel, you probably arent going to get very far at least not in a fashion you might enjoy. While there are countries such as North Korea where the government makes accumulating any wealth almost impossible (unless you are part of the dictators inner circle), in most of the world, this aspect of life call it financial freedom has far more to do with a persons willingness to work hard than anything else. That said, I readily acknowledge that governments everywhere are a constant weight on the entrepreneurs back. Yet, simply looking at the facts as they are, I personally know dozens of people, here in the US and in places like Argentina, where the government makes doing business an order of magnitude more difficult who, through their own creativity and exertions, are fabulously successful. As something of a tangent, while generalizations are rarely useful, in my direct experience many individuals who paint themselves as libertarians have trouble coming up with the proverbial two nickels to rub together. Doug Casey and I have discussed this on more than one occasion, and I dont think either of us has a good answer. If pressed to it, I would hypothesize that it has to do with a latent inability to work as part of a team, something libertarians tend not to be very good at but which is often required to launch a successful career. In support of that hypothesis, look no further than the reality that the Libertarian party has never been able to mount an effective national political campaign. Back to the point, despite the governments meddling, financial freedom is imminently attainable for individuals who focus on their work and who put in steady efforts at increasing their personal knowledge (including learning how to handle your money, once you have some). Of course, succeeding may not be easy it rarely is, though it can be. While Im sure there are additional nuances to my personal definition of liberty that I could mention, the big point is that as long as I am free to come and go as I please and have the capability to build the wealth I need to do so, then I have pretty much all the liberty I need to enjoy my limited lifetime on this planet. After all, with those two conditions in place, if one place becomes too unfree for my taste, I can move on. Wait a second! some of you may find yourselves thinking indignantly. What about the wholesale trampling of the US Constitution in recent decades? What about the militarization of the domestic police force here in the US? What about the loss of freedom in the Land of the Free? I might respond with a sad shake of the head and by mouthing words such as tragic, or damn shame, or even its outrageous, criminal even. And theres no question its all of those things and more. The idea of America in its youth was amazing, especially considering the era in which it was birthed. But that idea has been so diluted at this point to be almost meaningless here in the United States. And therein lies the importance of being able to travel freely. You see, unlike many, I refuse to define myself by the artificial borders that were determined solely by an accident of birth. Why should I? Do I relate to the idea of America? Of course; what thinking person wouldnt? But during these philosophical Dark Ages for freedom in the United States, what practical purpose does clinging onto that idea serve? To use an overused comparison, what practical purpose would it have served for the head of a Jewish family during Hitlers Germany to stand on a street corner handing out anti-Nazi pamphlets? The obvious answer is none. It would have just resulted in the ultimate loss of liberty his death and likely that of everyone he loved. Personally, I look at the Americans and I see a people who have been very effectively brainwashed, or who simply have given in to the entirely human tendency to shuffle unquestioningly onto the path of least resistance and let themselves go. I see a people who, on a wholesale basis, have consciously or unconsciously decided to trade the idea of America for the false security of a totalitarian state. While there are voices in the woods, such as Ron Paul, that warn of the consequences, Im trying to focus today on hard realities. And the hard reality is that if you were to assemble all 300 million US citizens in an auditorium to listen to well-presented arguments for less vs. more government and then ask for a show of hands, the vast majority would raise their hands in favor of the current system that has the state deeply involved in pretty much every aspect of the economy and society at large. Skeptical? Then ask yourself what percentage of the audience would raise their hands in favor if asked the following: How many of you want Social Security to remain intact? How many think the government should subsidize health care? How many think the rich should pay more taxes? Or ask your questions in the negative, and watch how few hands stick in the air. How many of you think the Food and Drug Administration should be abolished? How many of you think recreational drugs, including cocaine and heroin, should be legalized? How many of you think the Department of Education should be shuttered? How many of you think that the tax credit for mortgages should be canceled? The practical point I am trying to make here is that the COL are fighting against a very entrenched and increasingly dangerous public mindset. Some like to hearken back to the days of the revolution when prominent men in the community risked it all to overthrow the British. I would contend that the situation today is totally different. Then it was a foreign enemy daily adding salt to the open wound of what was essentially an occupation by marching troops around and passing highly unpopular and often arbitrarily punitive laws. Today the enemy (of true freedom) is within. In fact, the nation is overrun by them they dominate in most every community, in most businesses and even in most families. And your fellow citizens dont want what the COL are selling. Sure, there are a fair number for instance, members of the Tea Party who might be sympathetic on a largely abstract level, but drill down into the specifics by asking questions such as those above and youll quickly find just how far off the grid you are. So whats the point? Rather, it is the land of the paranoid, the state-dependent, supporters of Guantanamo and permawar with the highest incarceration rates in the world, militarized police and and and That said, its also the land of the convenient shopping, relatively inexpensive food and housing and trains that run on time. Provided you pay attention not to trip over the big legal no-nos, you can enjoy a very high standard of living (though, in fairness, thats true of most of the world). If, on the other hand, you dont think you can stay out of trouble here or in any country whose government is becoming a danger to residents, then go somewhere else. Or, to quote my friend and partner Doug Casey, Stop thinking like a serf. Define what it is you want from your life. And I am speaking about this life, not some promised afterlife. Do you really want to put yourself on the front line of a battle that the vast majority of the populace wouldnt support you in? If the answer is yes, that you are willing to lose your liberty the ability to travel freely in support of the cause, then I can only wish you well. I hope at the end of your life, which in the US could come quicker than youd like, youll have found satisfaction and purpose in the struggle. Just be sure you are clear on your objectives and are willing to accept the consequences. Of course, Ill continue to support the champions of liberty here in the US, even though I think they are tilting against windmills for the most part. And I will almost certainly find occasion to speak against the totalitarian tide myself, albeit in terms sufficiently tame to avoid leading to a loss of my liberty. Far more important, as it relates to my personal liberty, Ill continue the process of diversifying my life between political jurisdictions so that if and when things in my native country become unbearably oppressive and therefore an active risk to my ability to freely go about my business I can bid it goodbye. Call me a coward, but in my view its far better to switch than to fight, especially when the vast majority of my fellow citizens wouldnt know the true meaning of freedom if you served it to them on a silver plate.

1	Praising the initiatives for taking the guesswork out of the often confusing process of household waste disposal, a report released Thursday by the Environmental Protection Agency noted that more cities are providing bins to residents for materials that look like theyre probably recyclable. We realize it can be difficult to tell whether those grease-stained pizza boxes or cardboard orange juice cartons with plastic spouts can be salvaged or not, so with the rollout of these new bins, were encouraging residents to just toss them in and not worry about it, said Rosa Fernandez, a spokesperson for the city of Seattle, which has encouraged its citizens to use the new bins to discard any plastic bags, wrapping paper, or other articles that they think could conceivably be repurposed, and place them on curbs beside their usual recycling and trash receptacles. Whether youre trying to figure out if your city takes plastics bearing the number 4 or higher, or you cant remember if youre allowed to recycle books, dont fretjust look for the purple bins with the question mark. Fernandez added that the city was currently considering providing an additional bin for items that residents know arent recyclable but which they nevertheless feel bad about throwing out. 
2	AWESOME: Sheriff Bills Mexican President For The Illegals In His Jail, See What Recently, Sheriff Richard Jones of Butler County sent a letter to Mexican President Enrique Pena, holding him responsible for all of the illegal immigrants currently in his jail. According to reports from the Blaze, Jones received an interesting response. The federal government sends me a letter and said I violated a treaty of like, 1790, Jones told reporters. I sent him a bill for the prisoners that are in my jail. They came here illegally. Ive not gotten any money from them, but I billed them so much. And Ill tell you what I got in return: my life was threatened. Jones claims that he got a threatening call from the FBI, claiming that three sheriffs in the country were going to be killed by drug cartels, and he was most likely one of them. According to Jones, he had tried to reach President Obama first, writing him and pleading with him not to bring illegal immigrants to Ohio. Weve had horrendous crimes here in this community, Jones said in the interview. We had a senior citizen, an elderly lady, molested by a teenager that came over from Mexico. We had another one molested an eight year old girl. Weve had drugs pouring in, more so than before the government said the borders were sealed. And were being run over by the drug dealers coming to this community. The violence has increased, and were a long way from the borders. According to Jones, illegal immigrants are also coming to his state so that they can take advantage of welfare programs. He claims that this is just one of many reasons the administration is making it too easy for illegal immigrants to cross the border. And that poses as a huge national security threat, Jones claims. What do you think? Do you support Jones?

2	Refugee Shot In Salt Lake City By Police After Committing THIS Sickening Act According to recent reports, a 17-year-old man named Abdullahi Mohamed fled to the United States from a refugee camp with his family, hoping for a better life. Where they came from, food was scarce, the toilet was a hole in the ground, and you couldnt make it through a day without coming into contact with scorpions. Unfortunately, that better life took a turn for the worse when Mohamed started having trouble with the police. His cousin, Muslima Aden believes that his rebellion was related to his grandfather sustaining a brain injury in a car accident. Aden recalls her life in Kenya, and the familys journey to Salt Lake City. The family was tired of the near-constant violence in Somalia, and they decided to flee to the refugee camps. Youre pretty much fighting for survival, Aden told reporters of the camps, describing cracking sand walls and metal roofs that would fly off in a bad storm. We actually came to America to have a better life. Now, Mohamed is hospitalized in the town that the family once viewed as their haven. He was shot by authorities after refusing to obey commands to drop a metal stick he was using to beat a man. Aden claims that Mohamed and his family faced discrimination for their Muslim beliefs in the city which houses the headquarters for The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints. Mohamed started getting in trouble with authorities when he was just 12 years old, according to court records. He spent time in a juvenile detention center for theft, trespass and assault. He was most recently arrested in September. Still, his family was shocked by news that he had been shot by police. Mohamed and a second person were beating a man with metal sticks with officers intervened. They fired at Mohamed when he moved toward the beaten man instead of obeying a command to drop the stick. What do you think of Mohameds story? 
3	Lawmakers around the country proposing legislation to restrict drone useMadison Ruppert, Contributor Now lawmakers across the United States are attempting to put limits on the use of drones domestically in an apparent attempt to push back against this sweeping trend. One bill, HB 1616, introduced in Virginia by Del. C. Todd Gilbert, would provide that no state agency or organization having jurisdiction over criminal law enforcement or regulatory violations, including but not limited to the Department of State Police nor any department of law enforcement of any city, county or town, shall procure a public unmanned aircraft system (drone aircraft) without the approval of the General Assembly or the local governing body, respectively. In North Dakota, Republican state Rep. Rick Becker has introduced legislation in an attempt to make sure drone use by police is not abused. Its a new technology that has really amazing capabilities and can be used in excellent ways for our communities. I dont want to say that drones cant be used, Becker said, according to the Washington Times. But with the new technology there are also issues, primarily privacy issues, which can come into play. Unsurprisingly, the sheriff of the most populous county in North Dakota, Cass County, has already claimed that Beckers proposal would set a dangerous precedent. Its no different than a routine patrol when we drive by in a squad car on the road and look down the driveway. We are just doing it from a higher level, Laney claimed. Apparently Laney is opposed to the fact that Beckers legislation would require law enforcement to actually obtain a warrant when using a drone as part of a criminal investigation. However, the need for probable cause warrants is increasingly diminishing with dangerous rulings like that which determined that hidden surveillance cameras can be placed on private property without a warrant. State Rep. Ed Gruchalla of North Dakota has voiced opposition to Beckers idea claiming that it will blow over, according to the Associated Press, and is similar to complaints about cameras in squad cars. Gruchallas assertion is patently absurd given the fact that cameras in squad cars can actually protect citizens and hold police accountable for breaking the law, whereas drone-based surveillance offers no such benefits. In Florida, state Senator Joe Negron filed SB 92, the Freedom from Unwarranted Surveillance Act which would prohibit the use of domestic drones over the Sunshine State, according to the Tenth Amendment Center. The legislation would, however, allow the use of drones to counter a high risk of a terrorist attack by a specific individual or organization if the United States Secretary of Homeland Security determines that credible intelligence indicates that there is such a risk. In Missouri, state Rep. Casey Guernsey has proposed legislation that would require law enforcement officers get a warrant before using a drone in Missouri, according to the Associated Press. It also would prohibit the use of drones by people, organizations or government agencies for the surveillance of farms. In New Jersey, a bill was introduced by Assemblyman Bob Shroeder in June of 2012 that would regulate the use of drones. While they may be useful in fighting crime or keeping watch over our water supplies, giving government and private agencies carte blanche can be dangerous, said Shroeder, according to a press release. The last thing we need is Big Brother literally peering into our living room windows. Similar legislation is expected to be proposed in other states as well during this legislative session including California, Illinois, Indiana, Oregon and Michigan according to the Washington Post. State Senator Jim Tomes of Indiana is considering putting limits on the private use of drones over privacy concerns, according to WISH, while it is unclear if Tomes believes law enforcement and other government entities should be subject to similar restrictions. There have also been attempts at the federal level including one piece of legislation introduced by Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky which would ban domestic governmental drone use except in patrolling the border or in high-risk security situations, according to Eli Richman of Governing.com. Also at the federal level, Rep. Ed Markey of Massachusetts has introduced a bill which would amend the Federal Aviation and Administration Modernization and Reform Act to provide guidance and limitations on non-military drone use in the United States. It would ensure that the FAA cannot issue a license to a drone operator unless they describe what kind of data the drone will collect, how that data will be used and how long it will be stored, among other information, in their license application, according to the Hill.

3	The Drug War is Such a Violent Failure, the Surgeon General is Speaking Up for the First Time EverBy Justin Gardner Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, the nations top public health official, will be presenting the state of the science on substance use, addiction and health, in the first-ever report from that office. Its time for us to have a conversation in this country thats based on facts; A conversation thats based on medicine and science. Which is why Im proud to announce that next year, I will be releasing the first-ever Surgeon Generals Report on substance use, addiction, and health. Were going to look at the best science on everything, from heroin and marijuana, to alcohol and prescription opioids. The reports broad scope will look at the impact of all drugs, legal and illicit, with the goal of capturing the current landscape of the impact of alcohol and drug issues on health to work toward prevention, treatment and recovery. The Surgeon Generals report will also address ethical, legal and policy issues, and those conclusions will be eagerly awaited by those who are fighting to end the senseless, immoral War on Drugs. Areas of focus in the report may include the history of the prevention, treatment, and recovery fields; components of the substance use continuum (i.e., prevention, treatment, and recovery); epidemiology of substance use, misuse, and substance use disorders; etiology of substance misuse and related disorders; neurobiological base of substance misuse and related disorders; risk and protective factors; application of scientific research in the field, including methods, challenges, and current and future directions; social, economic, and health consequences of substance misuse; co-occurrence of substance use disorders and other diseases and disorders; the state of health care access and coverage as it relates to substance use prevention, treatment, and recovery; integration of substance use disorders, mental health, and physical health care in clinical settings; national, state, and local initiatives to assess and improve the quality of care for substance misuse and related disorders; organization and financing of prevention, treatment, and recovery services within the health care system; ethical, legal, and policy issues; and potential future directions. The Surgeon General will undoubtedly confirm the preponderance of scientific evidence that has emerged on the medical benefits of cannabis. We have reported extensively on the various ways in which cannabis provides treatment for illnesses, both physical and mental. This should utterly demolish the federal classification of cannabis as a Schedule 1 drug with no currently accepted medical use. The fact that 23 states in the U.S. have recognized the benefits of medical cannabis, legalizing its use, should be reason enough to invalidate the Schedule 1 classification. A landmark study presented at the American Epilepsy Society showed the astonishing effectiveness of the cannabis extract cannabidiol (CBD) for treating epilepsy. The National Cancer Institute admitted that cannabis kills cancer cells. People use cannabis to treat a variety of conditions that arise from inflammation, such as Crohns disease and nerve pain, yet are being arrested for it and having their kids taken away. We can only hope that the Surgeon Generals report serves to cure the primitive mindsets that still inhabit government, such as DEA chief Chuck Rosenberg who said medical cannabis is a joke.Tell that to the countless children whose lives have been saved by this incredible plant. To the drug warriors child suffering is a joke. In the broader sense, the report should serve as a catalyst for government to change its stance on drug use and addiction. Instead of criminalizing this behaviorthrowing people in jail, ruining lives and breaking up familiesdrug abuse should be treated by physicians and addiction centers. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention presented data on drug overdose death rates from 2001-2014, and it does not look good. Prescription drug overdose deaths have nearly tripled since 2001 Opioid overdose deaths have nearly quadrupled since 2001 Benzodiazepine overdose deaths have increased by more than 600% since 2001 Cocaine overdose deaths are up 42% since 2001 Heroin overdose deaths are up nearly 500% since 2001 In addition to this, alcohol is killing Americans at a rate not seen in at least 35 yearsincreasing 37 percent since 2002. These deaths are from causes such as alcohol poisoning and cirrhosis, and do not include deaths from drunk driving and other accidents. Contrast these statistics with cannabis, which has caused zero overdose deaths and causes virtually no driving impairment. Clearly, the U.S. governments approach to drugs is a failure. The criminalization of certain drugs, and the complicity in the use of alcohol and prescription pills, has only exacerbated the problem of abuse to epidemic proportions.Portugal, which took the opposite approach in 2001 by decriminalizing all drugs, has seen a drastic decline in drug use, overdoses and crime. If the scientific input of the Surgeon General has any influence on governments approach, we should move rapidly toward ending prohibition so drug abuse can be properly addressed. It will also highlight the fact that cannabis has potent medical benefits and causes no overdose deaths, which by any logic should bring decriminalization and freedom to Americans who use this plant. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com I do not plan to hold my breath to see if the report actually contains factual information, or is just one more official avoidance of facts and practical experience. We are long overdue for the Surgeon Generals office to enter into the discussion of health care and its relationship to law enforcement. The government, through its police apparatus should not be involved in any aspect of health care or access to medications. I hope the Surgeon General will agree. The choice of medication and care for illness is between the physician and the patient and no one else. I hope some sanity will come of this latest turn of the War On Drugs that is turning this country inside out. doubtful if they declare the war on drugs over. More likely cannabis will become illegal. No government has the authority to block people from using any medicine that the person wishes to use. 
3	Australia: everybody must get vaccinated, except the Prime Ministers daughtersBy Jon Rappoport Were talking about Tony Abbott, who just ruled from on high that there are no more exemptions from vaccines in Australia. No more conscientious objections, no more religious exemptions. Only the rare medical exemption, permitted by a doctor. And suddenly, every family who refuses vaccinations for their children will lose up to $15,000 per year, per child, in federal support money. Every family in Australia is eligible for federal money. Tony has officially ripped away citizens right to choose. Australia is now officially a medical police state. But Back in 2006, Tony was singing a very different tune concerning his own daughters. On November 9, 2006, news.com.au had the story: Abbott rules out cancer vaccine for his daughters: FEDERAL Health Minister [at the time] Tony Abbott has said that while he may be seen as a cruel, callow, callous, heartless bastard, he would not be rushing to have his own daughters vaccinated [with the HPV shot] against cervical cancer. I wont be rushing out to get my daughters vaccinated, maybe thats because Im a cruel, callow, callous, heartless bastard but, look, I wont be, Mr Abbott said on Southern Cross radio. How interesting. How revealing. Tony Abbott, a vaccine refuser. Then. But now hes the Pope of forced vaccinations for all Australians, whether they want them or not. I dont see Australian media outlets rushing to cover this contradiction. A reader pointed me to the 2006 article. Otherwise I never would have known about Tonys double life. Back in 2006, Tony had a bizarre justification for his anti-vaccine stance. The news.com.au article spells it out: Tony: If there is a national immunisation program [that includes the HPV shot], I certainly will be making sure that they [his daughters] get vaccinated under the program. Tony: The [national] program is what the experts think clearly is absolutely necessary, and at the moment the experts dont think this [HPV shot] is absolutely necessary. The article continues: The PBAC [Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee] yesterday knocked back the application from Australian manufacturer CSL to make the Gardasil [HPV] vaccine available free to all females aged 12 to 26. Gardasil halts the spread of sexually-transmitted human papilloma virus (HPV), which causes 70 per cent of cervical cancers. At present it costs $460 for the recommended three doses. The PBAC said it made the decision because the vaccine program which would have cost about $625 million during its first four years was not value for money. Let me take this apart. Tony was saying he wouldnt have his daughters vaccinated with the HPV shot because there was no national program for it. Thats like saying, If the supermarket doesnt sell cherries, I wont let my daughters eat them. You see, the only reason a national program to vaccinate girls with the HPV shot wasnt instituted, in 2006, was because of money. The cost vs. value of the program was determined to be not worth it. Conventional researchers, doctors, and vaccine manufacturers in Australia were quite confident, in 2006, that the vaccine was safe and effective. Otherwise, they never would have considered it, in the first place, for the national vaccine program. (As far Im concerned, HPV is one of the most useless and dangerous vaccines in existence, but for the purposes of this argument, were talking about the conventional mainstream view.) Tony was deciding to reject what he considered to be a safe and effective vaccine for his own daughtersfor whatever bizarre reasons he cared to advance. Because he had the right to choose. And because he held a high post in government. And because he decided he could do whatever he wanted to do. But now, flashing forward nine years, Tony is telling every person in Australia what they have to do. No choice. No freedom. No right to seek out information independently and make a decision based on that information. Australia is a medical police state, with Tony, the old vaccine refuser, at the helm. If that isnt cause for uproar in the Land Down Under, what is? Hi, Im Tony. Im your boss, your ruler, your King. What I say goes. For you. But not necessarily for me. Thats the way it works, dont you know? The King makes rules for everyone else, but he can do what he damn well pleases. Hes above the rules. Hes different. Hes the Lord of the idiots and slaves, but he himself is free. Thats the deal. Its none of your business. Just keep your eyes straight ahead and your mouths shut and march forward. Thats your fate. I so command it.

3	Pentagon is Now Deploying Reservists and Refusing to Pay Promised GI Bill BenefitsBy Jack Burns According to Task and Purpose, an obscure deployment code, a measure the Pentagon created in 2014 to scale back spending on benefits, deployed reservists have been prevented from earning credit towards their GI Bill educational benefits. In other words, the soldiers deployments wont get them any educational benefits when they get home. By law, reservists involuntarily mobilized under Title 10, section 12304b, do not receive credit for the GI Bill while they are activated, Task and Purpose reported. Marine Sgt. William Hubbard, currently deployed overseas in Honduras, isnt just any reservist. Hes also a soldiers advocate and serves in his civilian role as the Vice President of Government Affairs at Student Veterans of America, a national veterans advocacy group focusing on education policy. Hubbard said, fellow Marines in Honduras are stunned as the word has slowly spread through the ranks. Most incorrectly believed they would receive seven to nine months worth of credit for GI Bill benefits, including Hubbard, a benefits legislation expert, Task and Purpose writes. Hubbard said, Reservists serve their country like any other component, and they have to balance civilian employment, education and the militaryAnd to say they dont rate the full benefit? It doesnt add up. Under Title 10, section 12304b, at least 1,780 reservists have been deployed and will not receive GI Bill benefits for their service time overseas. A Marine reservist from Cleveland, Ohio, Sgt. Mark Wong, said he was frustrated after learning his service to his country did not deliver full benefits. He said, Once I heard about the exemption, it blew my mind. We work the same hours as active duty people doing the same job. The government is saying our sacrifice isnt worth as much as it is for those on active duty. But we leave behind families and our civilian careers too. Wong needed those benefits in his civilian role in criminal justice, explaining hed planned on getting an advanced law degree to further his career and earn bonuses. Hubbard, too, like Wong, had planned on earning an advanced degree, desiring to get an MBA. Now he says, At this point, I have to take a step back to assess the financial viability. This would make the difference between doing it or notNow I have to decide between starting a family or my education, and not both. Apparently, the Pentagon is attempting to tighten up its defense spending. According to Task and Purpose, the Pentagons 2017 budget called for doubling reserve mobilizations, in part to ease the strain of operations across the globe, from the fight against the Islamic State group to ramped-up deployments in Europe in the face of growing Russian aggression. Some members of Congress are aware of the problem and have introduced bills to re-institute the stripped benefits. According to Task and Purpose, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., proposed the National Guard 12304b Benefits Parity Act in May. The bill would grant GI Bill benefits to reservists along with health care and retirement benefits, according to Michael Dale-Stein, a spokesman for Franken. But it has not moved from the Senates Armed Services Committee since its introduction. Franken reportedly issued the following statement to Stars and Stripes, The men and women who serve our country lay everything on the line to protect us, and in return, they deserve access to the support and benefits that theyve rightfully earnedBut unfortunately, too many members of the National Guard in both Minnesota and across the country who served on active duty came home and couldnt get important health care and education support. We at the Free Thought Project find the Pentagons demand of veterans repaying signing bonusesand deployment codes which deny GI Bill educational benefits to deployed reservists, quite incredulous. Its even more astounding when one considers the recent revelation the Pentagon itself cannot account for 6.5 trillion dollars in missing taxpayer funds for which it was entrusted. Its one thing to misplace a few thousand, or even a few hundred thousand dollars, but when 6.5 trillion goes missing, and you ask your veterans to repay their signing bonuses, youve just stooped to a new low, and transformed yourself into a five-sided bucket of scum, no longer worthy of the respect your organization once enjoyed. The Pentagons financial accountability problems go way back, even to just before 9/11/01, when then Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said 2.3 million Pentagon funds went missing. More recently, lawmakers on Capitol Hill have decided to applyproverbial screws to the Pentagon. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill have introduced legislation to impose penalties on the Pentagon if it fails to meet the legally mandated goal of being ready for a full audit by September 30, 2017,CNN reported. But heres a stupid question. Why would it take almost a year for the Pentagon to find out where the money is? Could it be that the missing monies are funding the moderate rebel proxy war against Syrias Bashar al Assad? At any rate, it appears the Pentagon is all too willing to balance its trillion dollar budget shortfalls on the backs of American servicemen, many of whom are not from the same wealthy backgrounds as some of the nations congressional members. Breitbart and 60 Minutes helped expose how lavishly congressmen and congresswomen can live, simply by using certain loopholes regarding how they choose to spend their reelection and PAC campaign funds. A 60 Minutes investigative report by veteran CBS reporter Steve Kroft and Government Accountability Institute (GAI) President and Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer revealed how leadership PAC loopholes allow members of Congress to convert campaign cash into lavish lifestyle upgrades for themselves and their family members. Its another example, unfortunately, where the rules that apply to the rest of us, dont really apply to the members of Congress, said Schweizer on 60 Minutes. The report, which contained selected material from Schweizers forthcoming book Extortion: How Politicians Extract Your Money, Buy Votes, and Line Their Own Pockets, revealed embarrassing and outlandish instances of cronyism and self-enrichment by members of Congress. Despite the fact that funds from leadership PACs are supposed to go to help elect fellow members of ones own political party, lax campaign laws allow lawmakers to turn their leadership PACs into private slush funds to fund just about anything. Taken as a whole, the request for veterans to repay enlistment bonuses, the refusal to pay GI Bill benefits for deployed reservists, the decades-old mismanagement of Pentagon funds, and the lavish spending by lawmakers, may lead some to believe the warmongers will not answer to anyone and will extort money from those who most likely cannot afford to pay. All the while, the very same lawmakers whove been sent to Washington to hold accountable government entities (like the Pentagon), are living it up by lavishly spending slush funds meant to help get them reelected. What a jacked up, indulgent, oppressive regime this nations government has become! Lets change it up a bit and demand that when funds go missing in the State Department or in the Pentagon, then all the members of Congress, the Supreme Court justices, the president and his cabinet wont get their paychecks. Only then will 6.5 trillion dollars not simply vanish from government coffers. That makes more sense than balancing the governments budget on the backs of soldiers and denying them benefits to which theyve traditionally been entitled.

HEADS SHOULD ROLL! Dont worry about it Trump is gonna fix everything like he promised!! have a nice day stop worrying. The Corporation of The United States: Part II The article is about how the United States isnt a federal corporation not that its not a corporation. An anonymous commenter posed the questions: So since we both agree that the US is in fact a corporation, what are its products exactly? Every corporation provides a product or service. What does it sell/bargain with? What is its collateral? Also, most of all, who are its shareholders because its definitely not the American people. There were no answers provided. Id like to answer this for you. The People Are The Products When you buy something at a grocery store, you scan the bar code at the register to determine how much it costs. Every American citizen after 1936 was/is born with a bar code known as a Social Security Number. This number which you never actually consented to obtaining; they just GAVE you one when you were born ensures the Federal Reserve always makes money off U.S. citizens. The Fed is the private, for-profit central bank that President Woodrow Wilson sold every American citizens life to. The Sixteenth Amendment was ratified on February 3, 1913. The short version reads as follows: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration. Before this U.S. Constitutional Amendment, there was no such thing as an income tax because said tax (as described above) would have violated Article 1, Sec. 2 of the Constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the case of Pollock v. Farmers Loan Trust Company, 157 U.S. 429 (1895), that income tax was a direct tax; an unapportioned tax, and thus violate Article I, Sec. 2 of the Constitution. Wilson signed the Revenue Act on October 3, 1913, which for all intents and purposes, created the IRS (despite the lies Wikipedia tells you). The final step in enslaving Americans was President Wilson signing the Federal Reserve Act, and its enactment on December 23, 1913. States slowly started using more universal birth certificate recording methods throughout the 1920s. The Social Security Act of 1935 created the universal bar code for American chattel; during desperate Depression times when Americans would succumb to any government help. The People Are the Collateral The Federal Reserve, via its interest-collecting arm known as the IRS, is guaranteed access to the paychecks and the money of every single America worker for their entire lives. That is why the United States government gets a blank check to borrow as much money from the Fed as it could ever want. The loans are guaranteed by the lifetime labor of all American subjects. In fact, all U.S. workers get anywhere from 16 to 30 percent of their paychecks withheld by the IRS before they even get their checks in their hands. These unelected, corporate bankers (Jacob Rothschild, Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan, etc.) own America and its people under the guise of a federal agency. The case of Lewis vs. United States, 680 F. 2d 1239, 9th Circuit (1982), ruled that the regional Federal Reserve banks are not government agenciesbut are independent, privately owned and locally controlled corporations. An unpublished 9th circuit opinion, McKee v. IRS; No. 04-74846; IRS No. 4036-03 (2006), also affirmed that the IRS is not a U.S. government agency. The IRS admitted that tax code was too complicated even for its own agents to understand. The Ninth Circuit ruled that since its too complicated for the IRS to understand, than citizens should not be excepted to understand it either. There has never been an Act of Congress giving the IRS the power to operate in the 50 statesoutside of Washington D.C. This violates Title 4 U.S.C. Sec. 72, making the IRS an illegal racketeering entity. The Corporation of Americas Shareholders The question iswho benefits from this perpetual, involuntary servitude of Americans? The Federal Reserve prints, values and distributes U.S. dollars unilaterally and in the best interests of its biggest shareholders. So who owns the Fedand subsequently you? The Fed wants everyone to believe that it is part of the government, and is not a for-profit institutionand uses wording similar to its tax code. Fed Shareholders consists 100 percent of private, for-profit banks, according to the Centre for Research on Globalization. The Fed does not like to talk about who exactly those bankers are. The Federal Open Market Committee, which consists of 5 bankers and 7 Presidential appointees, ultimately determine the macro and micro-economic destinies of every U.S. citizen. Americans are the chattel that keep the money printing business going strong. Most simply accept as fact that 20 percent or more of their labor fruits have to be withheld by these private banksters; who rely on this blind obedience and patriotism for the system to work. We are all employees of a corporationnot citizens of a country. And now its just normal for most. The United States is a Federal Corporation: 28 U.S.C. 3002(15) What they never taught you in high school civics class: The United States is a FEDERAL CORPORATION. See 28 U.S.C. Sec. 3002(15); Washington, D.C. is a sovereign city-state, not bound by any laws or treatises that the 50 states in the Union are (just as the City of London is not part of England proper and the Vatican is also a sovereign city-state). The people believed by most to be representing Americans in D.C. are immune from virtually all laws and treatises of the USA. These corporate CEOs known as congressmen and congresswomen are representing a corporation known as United States which makes most of its profits off a war and prison machine and a fiat paper money system. The only reason this paper money has any value at all is because the USA and NATO force OPEC countries to exclusively sell oil with Federal Reserve notes (U.S. dollars). If they do not, they get Iraq-ed, Libya-ed, and/or Afghanistan-ed. The Bank of Israel, aka the Federal Reserve (a private corporation), prints and administers this fiat paper money worldwide, while the Washington, D.C.-based IMF and World Bank play video game economics with the rest of the world. Corporations are people with rights. See Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, 558 U.S. 50 (2010).

2	Muslim Man To Wed 12 Year Old Bride Under Sharia Law According to recent reports, when a Lebanese Muslim man traveled to Australia on a student visa, he ended up walking away with more than an education. On one day of his trip, while he was on his way to the local mosque, he met a 12-year-old Australian girl who he deemed his future wife. Not surprisingly, he is now facing abuse charges. The 26-year-old man married the minor in a ceremony at his mosque, before moving back home with her and engaging in sexual relations 25 times. When, to no surprise, the new marriage was met with outrage, the man insisted that he was doing nothing wrong. In fact, he claimed, his religion permits him to take a child bride of his choice. Authorities saw things a bit differently. You have to take religion and culture out of it and see it for what it isa sexual assault of a 12-year-old-child, claims Detective Inspector Peter Yeomans of the Child Abuse Squad. In the end it is a 12-year-old child and no matter how we look at it and how he wants to sway it culturally, ceremonies or anything elsehe has been charged with numerous accounts of sexual assault. I was astonished in relation to the background information. According to reports, the abuse was discovered when the man tried to enroll his wife in school, but was unable to do so without legal guardianship. The girl has since been place in the care of authorities, where she has been receiving medical care and counseling services. They are unsure of where to place her from here, since her parents clearly condoned the marriage. Whatever the cultural practice, whatever the religious practice, there is no law in Australia above Australian law, claims Community Services Minister, Pru Goward. In this country, little girls have rights and in particular they have the right to a childhood free to this sort of abuse. That is what we are here as a community to uphold. Unfortunately, this story of abuse is just one of many when it comes to the Muslim faith. What do you think about this? Should the man be punished to the full extent of the law? 
1	During their visit Thursday to the Avalon Retirement Community, the grandchildren of Rose Markowitz told reporters they were no closer to determining if their grandmother was merely friends with an 81-year-old widower who lives in her building or if there was something else going on between them. He stops by her room every day at three, and then they watch TV together for a couple hours in the common areaI have no idea what that means, said granddaughter Betsy Markowitz, adding that her grandmother had touched the mans arm twice when first introducing him. Also, last week when we arrived they were sitting on a bench in the courtyard together, but they werent holding hands or anything. And for some reason shes started giving us little updates about what hes been up to recently and what his kids and grandkids are doing. I honestly couldnt begin to guess what kind of relationship they have. At press time, the man had called Markowitz Rosie again. 
1	U.S. Drug Czar Richard B. McTaggart, the nations Commander in Chief in the War on Drugs, held a press conference yesterday to announce he is higher than hell after smoking marijuana with some friends. McTaggart, who appeared calm as he addressed reporters and the American public at large, promised he will continue the fulfillment of his duties as U.S. Drug Czar. He stressed the U.S. must wage war on illegal narcotics everywhere and vowed to start directly attacking the problem maybe later today, when Im not so fucking baked. McTaggart, appointed by President Clinton in 1992 to replace former Drug Czar William Bennett, has been a tireless advocate for the three strikes and youre out policy for drug users. He also spearheaded the recent campaign to suspend Fourth Amendment rights for drug dealers, allowing police officers to seize their property without a warrant. Commented McTaggart: The colors, man. Look at the colors. According to leading DEA officials, in 1996, more Americans than ever are using drugs, and arrests resulting from drug-related offenses have more than tripled since just 15 years ago. When asked how he plans to attack such an enormous, daunting problem, McTaggart said, Please, stop. Youre making my head hurt. I cant even think about all that crap right now. In his quest to stem the tide of drugs, McTaggart is demanding at least $40 million in increased federal aid for drug prevention and awareness programs, tougher jail sentences for repeat offenders, and a large bag of tortilla chips. Ive got a serious case of the munchies, McTaggart said. Just as soon as I get some food in me I am confident we can take some major strides toward decreasing the use of illegal substances in the U.S. President Clinton came to the Drug Czars defense in a statement to the press issued by the White House. Mr. McTaggart has been a bold and effective leader in Americas ongoing war on drugs, but right now hes clearly a little high, Clinton said. I am fully confident that if we leave him alone for a while, and maybe let him take a long nap, he will come back fully restored to once again combat the scourge of narcotics ravaging our nation. Clinton also urged all Americans to be mellow in the presence of the Drug Czar. McTaggart thanked Clinton for his words of support, but countered that he was not merely a little high, but in fact fried out of my gourd. Sources close to McTaggart say he may be even higher now than last weekend, when he smoked some pot before seeing a movie with a friend. The Postmaster General and I pulled four or five bongers apiece before seeing Independence Day, McTaggart recalled. I dont even remember how we got to the theater. We were highbut not half as high as I am at this moment. Despite his current condition, McTaggart urged all young Americans not to not follow his example, and to stay off drugs. I pray that Americas children stay away from this narcotic, McTaggart said. But if you arent going to listen to my warning, or are coerced by drug dealers, I urge you to find some of the good stuff, like Northern Lights or Humboldt homegrown. Its more expensive, but the results are incredible. 
1	Saying they could not stop staring despite the highly private nature of the scene that was unfolding, numerous passersby reportedly paused dead in their tracks Wednesday night upon catching sight of a man leading an incredibly sad life who was clearly visible through his unobstructed apartment window. Witnesses said they started gathering on the sidewalk outside his apartment building at approximately 6:30 p.m. after noticing that the lethargic, disheveled man, who appeared to be in his mid-30s and was clad only in a ripped T-shirt and unwashed shorts, had left his curtains open and his lights on, putting his pathetic existence inside his dingy one-room studio in plain view for all to see. Boy, you can see absolutely everything, said 38-year-old Andrea Arnold, who was walking to meet a friend for dinner when she glimpsed the man playing video games alone in his barely furnished, bare-walled apartment and found herself gawking through the window at the tragic life that was taking place in front of her. I know I should look away, but I just cant help watching himeven after seeing him doze off on the couch for a while with his laptop open on his stomach. If youre going to do that, youve got to make sure youre alone where no one can see youbut I guess it just slipped this guys mind, she added. Because, wow, hes giving us all a real eyeful. Over the course of several minutes, witnesses said they observed the man completely expose his tragic and pathetic existence to them. The unkempt individual was clearly unaware that strangers could see his miserable life, sources reported, noting how he continuously checked his phone for nonexistent emails and texts and consumed handfuls of shredded cheese straight from the bag, eventually tipping the bag directly into his mouth and patting it with his hand to dislodge the remaining pieces. A number of passersby also confirmed that, at one point, the man could be seen requiring several attempts to stand up from his couch, the exertion of which prompted him to massage his sore lower back for roughly a minute as he shuffled back and forth in front of the window wincing, which reportedly left onlookers staring intently with their mouths agape. Someone should say somethingthis just isnt right, said Thomas Werner, 49, who was out walking his dog when he caught sight of the tremendously sad life. God, I hope he doesnt leave his blinds open like this every day. Maybe I should go up there and let him know that we can all see him. Then again, that might be really embarrassing and just make this worse for him than it already is, he added. Onlookers said they were ultimately left unsatisfied, however, when the man closed his curtains right before turning on his TV, leaving them unable to catch sight of what devastatingly sad show he would spend his entire night watching. 
2	Bristol Palin Drops Bombshell About Her Mom... Nobody Saw This Coming Bristol Palin has been criticized by the liberal media for her conservative views from a very young age. So when she saw the media ripping Donald Trump apart for the same thing, she had to say something. On Monday, Bristol wrote a blog post slamming BOTH the liberal and conservative media for the way that they have treated the legendary businessman and presidential candidate. Its official, she wrote. I used to use this blog to point out how liberals use the outrage industry to manipulate people and keep their power. Now Republicans are just as bad. She went on to criticize several media sites who rescinded their invites to Trump to speak because of his comments regarding Megyn Kelly, and the idea that she was bleeding from her wherever. Of course, Erick Erickson is hardly one to talk, and Palin pointed out that he had once allowed a fake cleavage-heavy picture of Sarah Palin sitting on Santas lap to run as an authentic image. The picture of my mom sitting on Santas lap, with her apparently perky boobs hanging out, is CLEARLY photshopped, Palin wrote. Anyone can point that out from a mile awayDont act dumb and put your hands up in the air now, Mr. Erickson. I called you out for the hypocrisy you have shown Mr. Trump, by suddenly acting like you are the standard bearer or decency toward women. What do you think? Do you applaud Bristol for standing up for Trump? 
2	Trey Gowdys Benghazi Investigation Just Uncovered Something Shocking With all the scandals taking place in the White House at the moment, it is important not to lose sight of the ongoing investigation into the Benghazi attacks, which took place on September 11, 2012. Luckily, Representative Trey Gowdy has taken it upon himself to make sure that our country does not forget the tragedy. Gowdy, a former prosecutor, has been using his resources as the head of the committee investigating Benghazi to gather information about the truth of what happened leading up to the night in Libya, and the days following the attack. No on defending the five-minute questioning process as the most calculated way of eliciting the most amount of information, Gowdy stated in an interview, There is most assuredly a place for hearings but not if your primary focus is to gather facts. The investigation is expected to last into 2015, which could prove the nail in the coffin for Democrats who are attempting to maintain their majority in the Senate in time for the 2016 presidential run. What do you think? Are you ready to hear the truth about Benghazi? 
1	Spurs center Tim Duncan returned to his summer job at the Apple Store Genius Bar Monday, where he provided technical support during his eight-hour shift by diagnosing problems, troubleshooting software issues, and repairing people's computers, iPhones, and iPods. 'I can't stress to our customers enough that they really need to make multiple backups of their data,' said Duncan, who has worked at the San Pedro Avenue location for the past three summers. 'A lot of times we can retrieve files from a crashed hard drive, but you shouldn't rely on that. Also, you can increase the battery life of your laptop if you shut it down when you're transporting it from one place to another.' Duncan has also offered to take a shift for fellow Apple Genius David Atwood on Saturday, saying it would be a shame for his coworker to miss Game 3 of the Nuggets-Mavericks Western Conference Semifinals. 
1	Amid continued reports detailing the CIA's use of loud music to torture detainees at Guantnamo Bay, pop-culture elitists from across the country gathered in the nation's capital Monday to protest the uninspired song selections employed in the brutal treatment of inmates. 'To remain silent about the abhorrent methods used to interrogate alleged enemy combatants would be a betrayal of the ideals we hold most dear,' said New Yorker music critic Sasha Frere-Jones, a spokesperson for the loose coalition of music snobs. 'I mean, 'Enter Sandman,' from Metallica's 1991 self-titled album? Really? Not to say there isn't some classic stuff on the torture playlist, but even my 12-year-old nephew would choose something a little more unexpected than Nine Inch Nails to shatter an utterly demoralized man's already tenuous grip on reality.' 'They could have at least picked an excerpt from Dream Theater's A Change Of Seasons EP to play at 120 decibels for 14 hours a day,' Frere-Jones continued. 'If I were handcuffed to a chair with something as tired as Tupac's 'Keep Ya Head Up' blasting in my face, I'd probably pass out from boredom, despite the painful sleep deprivation stress positions.' In addition to deriding the CIA's song choices, protesters attacked the playlist's lack of variety, saying the music selected to abuse prisoners fell mostly within the categories of heavy metal and contemporary Top 40 pop. Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke said the overall effect of the nonstop, unbearably loud music would have greatly benefited from delving into some of the subtler rock styles. 'What those poor people have had to suffer through is a shameful travesty,' Fricke said. 'Can you imagine being forced to listen to Deicide and Drowning Pool all day long? Yes, the metal genre has a lot to offer, but why not broaden your palette a bit by throwing on something from Minutemen's Double Nickels On The Dime or even Roxy Music's Avalon after a few of the heavier tracks?' Added Fricke, 'If the prisoner still had any idea who he was at that point, anything from those albums would totally blow his mind.' Last month, 'Dean of American Rock Critics' Robert Christgau wrote a letter to the CIA offering to assist the agency in producing more sophisticated compilations for the systematic dehumanization of detainees, but he has reportedly not yet received a response. Though the activists all agreed that the musical tastes reflected in the state-sanctioned torture were laughable, the group was split along ideological lines into numerous factions. While many argued for the use of deep cuts from the Rolling Stones' 1972 double record Exile On Main St. to deafen prisoners and reduce them to whimpering children, others demanded that the infliction of irreparable psychological damage incorporate tracks by more esoteric modern artists like Simian Mobile Disco and the Black Lips. A small but especially vocal contingent tirelessly lobbied for the inclusion of at least one selection from Steely Dan's 1977 tour de force Aja, preferably the song 'Peg.' 'Blatantly dismissing what the U.S. government has done to these men is an unconscionable miscarriage of justice,' Pitchfork.com contributor Andy Ragazzo said. 'I've been here for nearly six hours, and I haven't heard one person other than myself so much as mention the groundbreaking work of minimal techno and microhouse artist Ricardo Villalobos.' 'It almost makes me ashamed to be an American,' Ragazzo added. 
1	Congress approved a bill to increase the executive minimum wage from $515.15 to $565.15 an hour, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) announced Monday. The move marks the first increase in the wage since 1997. DeLay announces the wage increase. 'This is good news for all Americans who work in the upper levels of commerce,' DeLay said. 'Almost a third of America's hard-working executives toil at corporations day after day, yet still live below the luxury line. It was about time we gave a boost to the American white-collar worker.' The wage was calculated to help executives meet the federal standard-of-easy-living mark of $1.1 million a year. DeLay said that, although his goal is to ultimately reach an executive minimum wage of $800 per hour, he was satisfied with what he characterized as a 'stop-gap measure.' 'Many of the thousands of Americans overseeing the nation's factories, restaurant chains, and retailers can't even afford a jet,' DeLay said. 'It's our long-term goal to ensure that no one who sees to it that others work hard for a living will have to go without the basic necessities of the good life.' Under the new law, the executive-minimum salary will increase to more than $1.175 million a year, plus mandatory overtime for executives who work more than seven minutes after 5 p.m., on holidays, outside of their home offices, or from a limousine or non-chartered private aircraft. A separate section of the bill includes concessions for second- and third-housing credits, as well as single-player health-spa coverage. Top executives nationwide have repeatedly called for wage increases in recent years. PPG Industries financial officer Brad Weston will benefit from the wage increase. 'Our lifestyles are expensive to maintain,' Boeing senior vice-president of international relations Tom Pickering said. 'The costs of even the most basic executive transportation, food, and clothing are staggering. Since 1993, the average cost of maintaining a household of six, including a butler, a cook, a maid, a driver, and a groundskeeper, has increased by 14 percent. All this, even after we work our fingers to the bone for hundreds of hours a year, painstakingly assembling our benefits packages. It shouldn't have to be this hard.' Some executives called for even more support, in the form of increased benefits and reimbursements. 'Well, it's a good start,' said Abby Kohnstamm, IBM senior vice-president of marketing. 'But I still don't get a transportation allowance for my company-owned limo. And no one has addressed the fact that almost 8 percent of my income disappears after taxes.' Nick Scheele, Ford president and chief operating officer, said he looks forward to February 2004, when the wage increase is slated to take effect. 'It's about peace of mind,' Scheele said. 'Executives like myself are sick of living quarterly statement to quarterly statement, forced to check our bank balances before every little real-estate purchase. We're not asking for the world, just the overseas vacations that we so desperately need.' The pay hike marks a rare instance of bipartisan cooperation in one of the most polarized congresses in U.S. history. In the U.S. Senate, only Russ Feingold (D-WI) and John McCain (R-AZ) opposed the bill. 'This proves that politicians can work together when it involves the welfare of the citizens most responsible for keeping them in office,' U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) said. 'Those of us who hold higher office don't ever forget where we came from, and how we got where we are today. This wage hike is our way of giving something back to the American people who are most important.' 
3	Politicians Exploit School Shooting While Ignoring Bombing VictimsBy Dr. Ron Paul The reaction to the shooting stands in stark contrast to the reaction to the US militarys bombing of an Afghanistan hospital run by the international humanitarian (and Nobel Peace Prize winning) group Doctors Without Borders. Our Nobel Peace Prize winning president did apologize to his fellow Nobel laureate for the bombing. However, President Obama has not politicized this tragedy by using it to justify ending military involvement in Afghanistan.No one in Congress is pushing for a special commission to examine the human costs of US militarism, and the mainstream media has largely ignored Doctors Without Borders accusation that the bombing constitutes a war crime. The reason for the different reactions to these two events is that politicians prefer to focus on events they can politicize to increase government power. In contrast, politicians ignore incidents that raise uncomfortable questions about US foreign policy. If the political and media elites were really interested in preventing future mass shootings, they would repeal the federal gun-free schools law, for example.By letting shooters know that their intended victims are defenseless, the gun-free schools law turns schoolchildren into easy targets. Even some who oppose gun control are using the shooting to justify expanding federal power instead of trying to repeal unconstitutional laws. Some opponents of new gun control laws say Congress should expand the federal role in identifying, tracking, and treating those with mental health problems.This ignores the fact that many shooters were using psychotropic drugs prescribed by a mental health professional when they committed the horrible acts.Furthermore, creating a system to identify and track anyone with a mental health problem could deny respect for individuals Second Amendment and other rights because they perhaps once sought counseling for depression while going through a divorce or coping with a loved ones passing. While our political and media elites are eager to debate how much liberty people must sacrifice for safety, they are desperate to avoid debating the morality of our foreign policy. To admit that the US military sometimes commits immoral acts is to admit that the US government is not an unalloyed force for good. Even many proponents of our recent wars support using the US military for humanitarian purposes. Thus they are as reluctant as the neoconservatives to question the fundamental goodness of US foreign policy. Anyone who raises constitutional or moral objections to the US use of drones, bombs, indefinite detention, and torture risks being attacked as anti-American and soft on terrorism. The smear of terrorist apologist is also hurled at those who dare suggest that it is our interventionist foreign policy, not a hatred of freedom, that causes people in other countries to dislike the United States.Which is a more logical explanation for why someone would resent America a family member killed in a drone attack launched by the US military or rage over our abundance of liberty? The disparate reactions to the Oregon school shooting and the Afghanistan hospital bombing shows the political class is unwilling and unable to acknowledge that the US government cannot run the world, run our lives, or run the economy. Clearly, politicians will never stop expanding government and give us back our lost liberties unless and until the people demand it. Former Congressman Dr. Ron Pauls work can be found at RonPaulInstitute.org where this article first appeared. Get Ron Pauls new book Swords and Plowshares. These congressional prostitutes will say whatever they are told to sayas long as the AIPAC $$$ ends up in their pockets as they wear down the public resolve by constantly twisting the narrative with inexorable shoves towards a desired agenda as the edicts from the NWO call for more moreGun Kontrol.just like Hitler did in 1930s Germany I was right there with you Ronuntil you said unless and until the [American] people demand it. You spent enough time in Congress to know: the American people have continually demanded many things. How many of your fellow politicians on either side of the aisle paid the slightest attention? With poll after poll showing citizen approval of Congress in the toilet, how many Congresspersons seemed in the least bit concerned? Do they actually even read the tens of thousands of letters and petitions they routinely receive? You know they dont. So unless the people demand it is a euphemism for a second American Revolution, dont talk about us not demanding things. Many of us demanded you for President, and they wouldnt even let you speak. As a candidate you were ignored by your party and by the media, every bit as much as We The People have been ignored by our government, so you know exactly what Im talking about. 
2	ANOTHER School In Colorado Forces Students To Abide By Shariah Law It seems that this year we have seen numerous incidents at schools around the country where Islamic practices are being taught. The latest incident to draw public criticism is that a Denver school district required students to visit three places of worship included a synagogue, a Greek Orthodox cathedral, and a mosque. While the trip initially seemed relatively balanced, parents were outraged that students were required to wear long pants, covering their ankles and that girls were required to bring wide scarves or hooded sweatshirts for the mosque. Public schools are forbidden from holding girls to different standards than boys, claims radio broadcaster Peter Boyles. Some parents believe that students should not be required to obey Shariah law to learn about Islamic culture. What do you think? What would you do if you were a parent at the school? 
1	Although an undeniable atmosphere of excitement swirled around new Mets ballpark Citi Field at its unofficial opening Friday, many of the team's fans were put off by an 18-foot-tall bronze statue of Tim Teufel displayed in the center of the Jackie Robinson Rotunda. 'From far away I thought it was a really nice tribute to Tom Seaver or Darryl Strawberry, but then, boom, there's Tim Teufel,' fan Kevin McGoey said about the statue, which includes a plaque commemorating the second baseman's career .254 average and 86 home runs. 'Actually, I had to read the little placard underneath to figure out who it was. I mean, we've had Mike Piazza, Lenny Dykstra.... Even a Robin Ventura statue would make a lot more sense. And man, is it big. Does it have to be so big?' Other notable features of Citi Field include a mural of Jerry Grote portraits, a giant scoreboard in the shape of Benny Agbayani, and lemonade served by Dwight Gooden himself. 
1	The Sports Talk-Show Gaming Commission announced Monday that Around The Horn, the ESPN program in which competing sports reporters are scored on their analysis, opinions, and snide remarks, is under investigation for a possible point-shaving scandal. 'What could have been a haven for spirited debates about sports appears to be nothing more than a front to make certain Las Vegas and Bristol high-rollers richer,' said commission chairman Jeremy Schaap, who will further expose the scandal on an upcoming episode of his own ESPN show, Outside The Lines. 'Too often, odds-on favorite Jay Mariotti will be in the lead heading into the final minutes, then inexplicably go off on a tangent and be 'muted,' allowing underdog Woody Paige to come from behind and cover the spread. A $100 bet on a guy like Paige can bring in a $5,000 dollar payout in Vegas.' Fans of the show say that, if these allegations are true, they will be forced to instead watch Pardon The Interruption, a program where the same exact topics are debated, point-free, at a more convenient time. 
3	Staying Off Grid When Nearly Everything Is Chipped, Almost Everything Is TrackedBy Mac Slavo They are spying on everything you do, and are collecting information about every purchase, appliance, vehicle or place you make, do or interact with. For the first time in history, we have arrived at a time when nearly everything is chipped, and almost everything is tracked. It really is true, and its no longer a conspiracy theory. They are spying on everyone, collecting all the available data and tracking you, your family and everyone you know. All the time. And worst of all, it does matter, it will be used against you for revenue collection, social control, fines, fees and evidence if necessary even if you havent done anything wrong. Is it any wonder why many states have made living off the grid illegal, and have attempted to get everyone on the grid? If you dont conform to the habits of most Americans and harvest alternative stores of power, fuel, food, water and supplies, then your energy use and digital footprint (or lack thereof) will cast you as a suspicious anomaly, worth of investigation, seizure of goods, subject to violations and codes, and NOT off the radar. Meanwhile, your interaction with other people will intercept data about you and your activities even if you dont carry a smart phone or wearables. The extremes are already here. The murder case where police have sought data from an Alexa smart device is just the beginning of what is to come: In what may ultimately lead to a precedent setting case and/or landmark court ruling, police in Arkansas have demanded that Amazon provide them with recordings made by an Amazon Echo device that was located in the home of murder suspect (source) Many other attempts have been made to microchip people, while the cashless grid has already found widespread acceptance. Former CIA director David Petraeus admitted to the tech community that the Internet of Things (IoT) was about to become one of the greatest assets in the spy community as an endless pool of data could turn the tables on any persons of interest. In other words, maybe you. As Wired reported in 2012: More and more personal and household devices are connecting to the internet, from your television to your car navigation systems to your light switches. CIA Director David Petraeus cannot wait to spy on you through them. Earlier this month, Petraeus mused about the emergence of an Internet of Things that is, wired devices at a summit for In-Q-Tel, the CIAs venture capital firm.[] All those new online devices are a treasure trove of data if youre a person of interest to the spy community. Once upon a time, spies had to place a bug in your chandelier to hear your conversation. With the rise of the smart home, youd be sending tagged, geolocated data that a spy agency can intercept in real time 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 said. More and more of these smart chips are being integrated into absolutely every imaginable device. Unless you are investing in vintage equipment, you will be buying into this system, even with basic appliances An alarming report in 2013 highlighted concerns over some Chinese-made irons and tea kettles that included wireless spy chips for purposes unknown, since these devices are not smart gadgets with computer interfaces and high-dollar functionality. via AndroidHeadlines.com: To this date,Qualcomm has shipped over a billion of Internet of Things (IoT) chipsets, the San Diego-based semiconductor manufacturer revealed on Tuesday. While speaking at the CES Unveiled press event yesterday, the companys Senior Vice President of Product Management Raj Talluri said that the firm is already serving all segments of the IoT industry, from smart TVs and thermostats to connected speakers, wearables, and home assistants. Talluri specifically pointed out that smartphones and tablets arent included in the one billion figure. Qualcomms impressive shipment numbers are mostly driven by the companys presence in the wearable industry numerous consumer electronics manufacturers are already implementing the cutting edge Snapdragon 835 chipset into their products As this chart demonstrates, the Internet of Things (IoT) will literally incorporate devices throughout consumer home, retail, security and surveillance, IT and networking, transportation and industry, healthcare, energy Notice that Elderly and Children are considered things in these digital tracking grid which otherwise incorporates refrigerators, stoves and smart appliances to share data and spy on individuals in their own homes. And people are just another track and traceable part of the system. It is absolute confirmation that mark of the beast technology is coming into full force whether or not they will succeed in implanting microchips into people remains to be seen, but a major attempt is in the works. In the meantime, there is now information about every move you, or any piece of inventory makes inside the system. This isnt just hypothetical talk. This is the society that has been built. Good luck avoiding it. You wont avoid these devices by accident, it will take a lot of work to remain anonymous, off the grid, and out of their grasp. As Sargent Survival at BeSurvival.com explains, getting out of the system is no easy task. Any serious attempt to delete yourself from the system and actually go undetected would involve some very methodical footwork. Not impossible, but not the default by any means: Living off grid is a great dream, and a good principle to live by. Preparing to deal with emergencies and escape the danger zones in modern cities is essential. Using technology in this world comes with many advantages, but also some serious disadvantages. Make sure that your use of technology is serving your purposes, and not giving you away during good times or bad.

I pity the fools Doesnt it seem the best way to handle this would be to have ALL the personal info on those that are doing the soying!? Whats good for the goose is good for the gander. A better solution is to change the beliefs and values of the citizens of America to reject these technologies and embrace sanity. Collectively we can do away with this and many more pervertions of humanity. This technology is by no means inevitable. Our belief systems can move Heaven and Earth. I hope youre right, and I wish I could say Im optimistic about that. Its completely natural for me to reject all tracking tech. Im naturally repulsed by it. But Im a curiosity in that respect to just about everyone I know. Even when they get badly burned and embarrassed (and I mean badly!) by little Zuckbook surprises or drunk snapchat episodes, they will not give that crap up. Its like theyre under some exhibitionist mind control. Reality is a reflection of our beliefs. The InfoWar is about defining reality. Were winning. Stay positive. Too many are too stupid.. Im in full agreement, Gazoo. I wish I could upvote your comment twice. Very well said. Most people are burned out and brainwashed with fluoridated water, pills, propaganda and stress too put up much resistance. Herd thinking is the majority. Those that dont embrace the new technology are now cast as outcasts and subject to extra surveillance. Its all turned into a big bad science fiction reality. If anyone who has been involving the technology for long time. They knew it. You can not give it up because it is an important part of your life except all humans conceive that the privacy is paramount and the most inalienable of all human rights. Untrue. It can be given up. Most of the world lives without constant electric and Internet still. Great. Thats just what they want, for those who disagree with them to self-isolate. Police states function, not on suppressing what is said, but in discouraging it from being said in the first place. The only chance freedom has is for all of us to learn to become anonymous in all our communications, commerce, and travel. And, in spite of what The Deep State wants you to believe, that is possilble. Read Thieves Emporium by Max Hernandez to see how and why. A documentary on the East German Stazi (Secret Police) ran in the early 1990s, and showed the extent to which individual citizens were willing to spy on each other, how everyones DNA was snatched and how obsessive the collection process was concerning every action and every thought expressed by anyone. I felt then, as now, that the US wasnt far behind, and isnt it unfortunate that your family and neighbors and co-workers are willing to not only spy on you, but they are happy report it to the police state as often as possible. I have never gone on any social media other than this blog site. No Facebook. No DropBox. Etc. With the recent live torture broadcasting from Facebook, it should be obvious to most of those on selfnews Post that there is something diabolical about humans wanting to expose their own most sordid deeds. Seems that the brainwashing is truly working. Turn yourself in. Just dont worry about it. If and when things get dire, we have the 2nd Amendment to make the appropriate corrections. Did you hear that!? Now THAT is a solution! Did you register your firearm when you bought it? No? How do you know that every gun dealer in the country doesnt have malware in his computer? Or, for that matter, every gunsmith? Not to mention every camera on every gun range in the country. Or financial sales records for all ammo sales if made with a credit card. Ever take your cell phone to the range? Gps tracker, they know you go there. Someday, when the time comes, before you have time to organize, there will be a knock on your door. The technique is called Defeat In Detail. Read Thieves Emporium. Its the only way out. Without privacy, the second amendment is dead. Some suggestions on here which dont make sense. By all means legally change your name (Deed Poll) if you want. But to obtain a new drivers licence, passport etc, unless you have a birth certificate in your new name which is of course impossible unless you can find a good forger you will have to show your old birth certificate plus the change of name deed. So thats a dead end. And of course, if you legally change your name, then that will eventually end up cross-linked to all your other official records whether you are managing to be off-grid or not, which means that you will have to stay away from doctors (not such a bad thing though), any kind of taxable or traceable employment, hiring a vehicle, opening any kind of bank or savings account (again though, not such a bad idea), drawing a pension and a whole host of other activities that require proof of identity and evidence of consistency. Im not saying it cant be done, only that this article has somewhat simplified it a bit too much and if you really want to live off grid you have to be prepared to disappear entirely from all official records and thus, effecively, from mainstream life. Far from keeping away from library computers, they are actually an asset. If you have a library membership under an assumed (false) name and address, then using them actually provides a degree of anonymity as attempts to trace the account back to you will be useless. Library memberships are still pretty easy to take out with the minimum of ID, and its possible to book occasional ad-hoc guest sessions with no ID at all. Internet cafes are another option, as is of course just hooking into a free wifi system somewhere as long as your IP address is protected. Theres a great book on the growth of the anonymous digital The Daily Bell thought it was such a good book that they ran it as a serial. If you look around, you can find their free copy. Or buy a copy at Amazon (4.6), Noon (4.5), Smashwords (4.7), or IBooks (?) (Id give you the links, but selfnewspost censors me if I do, sorry) 
2	BREAKING: Muslim Brotherhood Has Been Officially Made Illegal Well, it appears that America is one of the only nations that refuses to admit that the Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization. Even though the Muslim Brotherhood was criminalized in Egypt, it is yet to be officially designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). Fortunately, Congress is in the process of determining whether or not to pass a bill that would do just that. Still, there is an apparent lack of interest from the president, who in fact supported the group during their reign of terror in Egypt. The group was dissolved by the Egyptian court, who cited police testimony that the headquarters of the Freedom and Justice Party stored weapons in its offices, and that many of the groups leaders had been accused, and in some cases convicted of murder and inciting violence. As soon as Muslim Brotherhood member Mohammed Morsi was overthrown by the Egyptian military, the group decided to organize a wave of violence to destabilize the country. Now, the court is determining that the decision is final. What do you think? Is it time for the president to take a stand against terrorism? 
1	The White House was briefly placed on lockdown Friday morning after an addled and emotionally distraught President Obama was reportedly caught trying to scale the North Lawn fence, the third such attempt this year, Secret Service officials confirmed. At approximately 11:05 a.m., we were alerted that the president was climbing the barrier along Pennsylvania Avenue, at which time our agents moved quickly to apprehend him and ensure he made it no further, said Secret Service director Joseph Clancy, who later stated the agency would look into raising the height of the fence given the increased frequency of such incidents. He was a little shaken up after agents wrestled him to the ground, but he should be fine. Despite all of his kicking and incoherent screaming, which clearly indicated his severe level of mental distress, we were able to cuff him and haul him off to the Oval Office in a prompt and efficient manner. Clancy added that, while the Secret Service does everything in its power to use nonlethal force, should a determined Obama ever make it over the fence and start charging directly away from the White House, theyd likely have no choice but to open fire. 
2	Walmart Makes Massive Move Against Trump... Time To Boycott According to some surprising new reports, the family that owns Walmart has just officially endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. The Walton family, who own the superstore, recently revealed they are Clinton supporters. The retail giants relationship with Clinton goes back more than three decades, which could be why the family has expressed their support of someone who opposes many of their own business practices. While Bill Clinton was Governor of Arkansas, Hillary served six years on the Walmart board of directors. She has since shied away from her support of the corporation, but has reportedly never severed the relationship. When she first ran for president in 2008, she decided to return $5,000 donated to her campaign by Walmarts political action fund, claiming she disagreed with the companys values. There are many liberals who are still outraged over Walmarts reticence to allow employees to unionize. Last year, pressure from the public cause the superstore to initiate across-the-board minimum wage hikes. Hillary later questioned her relationship, claiming Walmart did not reflect the best way to do busness and the values that are important in America. Still, it appears the companys executives have continued to back her. In this election cycle, they have donated at least $700,000 to the Hillary Victory Fund. Over the years, the Clinton Foundation has also received millions of dollars in donations from the Walmart Foundation and the Walton Family Foundation. What do you think of this news? Will you be shopping in Walmart anytime soon? 
2	Liberals Thrilled When Muslim Wins Election, The Her Sick Dirty Little Secret Leaks When a Somali-American Muslim was recently elected in Minnesota, liberals praised the decision as a step in the right direction. Now, some disturbing facts about the politicians past have raised some serious questions about her intentions. Ihan Omar secured the nomination of the states Democrat Party to serve as the representative of House District 60B in the state legislature. She came in first in a three-way race that included 22-term incumbent Phyllis Khan. The media was quick to call Omars victory historic, but others pointed out that the victor has been investigated for marriage and immigration fraud. According to reports, Omar married Ahmed Hirsi, the father of her three children, in 2002. That wasnt her last marriage, however. In 2009, she allegedly married her own brotherAhmen Nur Said Elmi. Many believe this marriage was designed to help his entry into the United States. If this is true, Omar would be guilty of violating Minnesotas laws against bigamy, which is defined as knowingly having a prior marriage that is not dissolved while also contracting a marriage in this state. The offense carries a punishment of up to five years in prison or a fine of up to $10,000. Of course, the media is not reporting on this and we doubt theyll investigate it at all. But we think our elected leaders need to be scrutinized regardless of skin color, gender, religion, or any other characteristic. If they are unfit to serve this country or show any signs of disrespect for the law, they should not be in the White House in any role. That goes for Hillary too. 
3	Find Out How Your Local Police Agency is Using DronesParker Higgins and Trevor Timm The groups listed by the FAA included about two dozen local police agencies, but we expect this number to grow rapidly in the coming weeks and months. In February Congress passed a bill mandating the FAA authorize drones to public agencies if they can prove they can fly them safely. And recently, the Department of Homeland Security, which was already handing out grants to local police agencies, announced a program to facilitate and accelerate the adoption of drones by local police agencies. And last month the FAA announced it had established new (though undisclosed) procedures to allow more law enforcement agencies quicker access to fly drones. As the Huffington Post reported: This is, or will become, a controversy all over the United States. From Seattle, to Miami, Tennessee to Atlanta, and everywhere in between, local towns will soon grapple over the privacy dangers drones will create. Given Congress inaction on privacy issues, and the fact that the FAA has never regulated privacy issues, we believe activism at the local level is the best way to stop drone surveillance. The FAA has so far not released any information on which model of drone or how many drones each public entity flies. We also dont have much information on the type of data these drones will collect. So we need to find this information out. Weve made a simple form for the questions we want these police agencies to answer. We need you to call your local police department and ask them these questions. Check your local police departments website for the Public Inquiries or Community Relations contact, and call or e-mail them these questions. Our list of drone certificates includes police departments that we already know have a drone authorization from the FAA. This is just the first step. Once weve collected the data, we will release it and tell you how you can contact your local municipal government to demand that they ban law enforcement drones or install robust privacy safeguards that will protect citizens from unwantedand unconstitutionalsurveillance.

1	Owner and founder of Fossil Bed Brewery Dave Walker, 39, reportedly struggled Saturday to find a way to work his 5-year-old Labrador retriever mix into the name of a new spiced winter ale. 'I was going to just call it Puppy Weizen, but that's kind of impersonal, and technically it's not a wheat beer,' said Walker, who has so far failed to find a name that captures both his pet's personality and the distinct raisin and pepper flavoring of the microbrew. 'I have to do something to make it stand out on the shelf alongside Flying Dog, Sea Dog, Turbodog, Smuttynose Old Brown Dog, and Dogfish Head.' At press time, Walker had yet to figure out how make his dog, Barley, a part of the beers name. 
3	Fukushimas Catastrophic Aftermath ContinuesStephen Lendman Should the public discover the true health cost(s) of nuclear pollution, a cry would rise from all parts of the world and people would refuse to cooperate passively with their own death. In her article titled Radioactivity: No Immediate Danger, she coined a new word. Omnicide describes the ultimate human rejection of life. Its difficult to comprehend, but its happening, she said. She called industrial radioactive pollution cumulatively greater than Chernobyl. We are now in a no-win situation with radioactive materials, where (its) acceptable to have cancer deaths, deformed children and miscarriages. Industry propaganda falsely claims nuclear power is clean and green. The nuclear fuel cycle discharges significant amounts of greenhouse gases. Its also responsible for hundreds of thousands of curies of deadly radioactive gases and elements in the environment annually. Claiming nuclear production of energy is clean, said Bertell, is like dieting but stuffing yourself with food between meals. Separately, she said: There is no such thing as a radiation exposure that will not do damage. There is a hundred per cent possibility that there will be damage to cells. The next question is: which damage do you care about? Global suicide is certain. Continued nuclear proliferation and Fukushima accelerated it. March 11 marked its second anniversary. Its perhaps the worst ever environmental disaster. Reliable experts call large parts of Japan unsafe. Theyre too hazardous to live in. According to Professor Hiroaki Koide, Tokyos as contaminated as Fukushima. Thousands of city residents protested. They oppose nuclear power. They want safe energy sources replacing it. Radiation contamination is widespread. East Asia, North America, Europe and other areas are affected. Hazardous air, water and land readings across many areas globally are many multiples too high. Future epidemic cancer levels are certain. It occurs when body cells divide and spread uncontrollably. If untreated, it metastasizes and kills. Michel Chossudovsky calls Fukushima a nuclear war without a war. Its an unspoken crisis of worldwide nuclear contamination. Tens of thousands of children have confirmed thyroid abnormalities. They reflect the tip of the iceberg. Children are especially vulnerable. No radiation dose is safe. Karl Grossman wants planet earth made a nuclear free zone. We barely made it through the last century without a major nuclear weapons exchange, he said. Nuclear energy in all forms is unsafe. Safe, clean, renewable solar, wind, geothermal, and other energy sources are readily available. Admiral Hyman Rickover (1900 1986) was the father of Americas nuclear navy. In January 1982, he told a congressional committee that until a few billion years ago, it was impossible to have any life on earth. There was so much radiation on earth you couldnt have any life, fish or anything. Gradually the amount subsided. Now, we are creating something which nature tried to destroy to make life possible. Every time you produce radiation, (a) horrible force is unleashed. In some cases (its) for billions of years, and I think the human race is going to wreck itself. I am talking about humanity. The most important thing we could do is start having an international meeting where we first outlaw nuclear weapons to start off with. Then we outlaw nuclear reactors, too. The lesson for history is when a war starts, every nation will ultimately use whatever weapons are available. That is the lesson learned time and again. Therefore, we must expect, if another war, a serious war breaks out, we will use nuclear energy in some form. We will probably destroy ourselves. Widespread contamination acts in slow motion. Disturbing reports explain. In early April, around 120 tons of contaminated water leaked from Fukushimas No. 1s underground storage tank. It contained an estimated 710 billion becquerels of radioactivity. Water around the affected tank is highly radioactive. Its about 800 meters from the Pacific. Government and Tokyo Electric (Tepco) claimed it wont likely reach it. Numerous previous reports suggest otherwise. Tepco general manager Masayuki Ono said (w)e cannot deny the fact that our faith in the underwater tanks is being lost. In November 2012, Nature.com headlined Ocean still suffering from Fukushima fallout, saying: Radioactivity is persisting in the ocean waters close to Japans ruined nuclear power plant at Fukushima Daiichi. New data show high contamination levels. The Fukushima disaster caused by far the largest discharge of radioactivity into the ocean ever seen. Radiation levels arent dropping. The implications are serious for the fishing industry. On December 26, CleanEnergy.org headlined Japan Continues Struggle with Aftermath from the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster, saying: .an estimated 160,000 (Japanese) citizens still have not returned home. Reports of illness in humans and livestock continue to underscore the far reaching and difficult to predict impacts that a nuclear accident can cause. In July 2012, 36% of Japanese children screened had abnormal thyroid growths. Months later an illness called the Fukushima syndrome was killing cattle throughout Fukushima Prefecture. Mutations were found in butterflies and other insects. Their shorter life cycles allow genetic disruptions to show up sooner than in humans or other mammals. On April 11, Bloomberg.com headlined Tepco Faces Decision to Dump Radioactive Water in Pacific, saying: Leaks were found in three of seven pits in the past week. Options for moving contaminated water are limited. With Japans rainy season approaching, contaminated water levels are likely to increase Yesterday, Tepco reported another leak of radiated water, this time from a pipe. Pacific bluefin tuna caught off San Diego in August 2011 was found to contain radioactive cesium 10 times higher than fish seized in previous years. Perhaps its much higher now. On April 15, Science Daily headlined The Fukushima Dai-Ichi Power Plant Accident: Two Years On, the Fallout Continues, saying: .(S)cientists are still trying to quantify the extent of the damage. Most important is determining just how much hazardous material escaped into the atmosphere. Japan Atomic Energy Agency researchers now say previously estimated 137C and 131l release rates were too low. On March 11, 2013, nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen said (t)heres definitely a large crack, perhaps five inches in diameter, in Fukushima reactor 2. Containment is sorely lacking. Pacific Ocean leakage continues. On April 24, Natural News headlined Massive, uncontained leak at Fukushima is pouring over 710 billion becquerels of radioactive materials into atmosphere, saying: Its the largest ever plant leakage. Fukushimas disaster never ends. It keeps on giving. (N)ew reports indicate that a wealth of new radioactive materials have been spewed into the atmosphere. Its spreading globally. Nuclear radiation is forever. It doesnt dissipate or disappear. No safe level exists. Every dose is an overdose. Bertell was right. Omnicide threatens everyone.

Here are some simple tips to help Shawnas participate in a healthier life: Eat Right Corn nuts and jalapeno poppers are not a suitable meal. Eating a balanced, nutritious diet can help you get back in to your acid-washed jeans and fringed Styx crop top that you haven't been able to put on since '97. Don't Smoke Smoking increases your risk of lung cancer, heart disease, and running into your ex, Rick, outside the 7-11. Besides, smoking can turn your remaining teeth brown. Above all, never smoke while pregnant as it is very harmful for your unborn children. Don't forget how Tammy turned out. Limit Alcohol Use Alcohol can raise your risk of liver disease, cancer, and the likelihood that you'll have promiscuous sex with Darryl's cousin again. Drinking more than four drinks in a row is considered binge drinking for a woman. Note: if you are drinking directly from a bottle of Malibu, that does not count as just one drink. Practice Injury Prevention Make sure to check under your trailer on a regular basis for evidence of rodents, fire hazards, and your brother Kevin who might try to cook meth under there again. 
3	Peru Declares State of EmergencyByHeather Callaghan Latin Post reports: After four people were killed amid anti-mining protests, Peruvian President Ollanta Humala declared a 30-day state of emergency in the Apurmac region on Tuesday [Sept 29]. Suspending civil liberties and authorizing military patrols, the government announced that extra troops would be sent to Apurmac to restore internal peace. The four protesters were shot dead during confrontations with the police. Aside from the deaths, 14 protesters were injured in demonstrations against a $7.4 billion copper mine project. The freedom from unlawful search and seizure also evaporated as Peruvian police have the ability to search homes at will under this state of emergency. The right to freely assemble is gone. BBC claims that environmental concerns are at the heart of protests. Itsthe fear of area and groundwater contamination coupled with new changes in the plan that were made without consultation. Interior Minister Jos Lus Prez Guadalupe said: They arent going to prevent the mine from going forward under any circumstances. They cant block a project of this dimension, which is an immense investment, the biggest in the past few years. Protests began on Friday, September 25 and were escalated on the following Monday leading to deaths of protesters, injuries in 14 protesters and 8 injured officers. Out of the 7,000 mostly indigenous people who showed up, 21 were arrested. In aconstanthistoricaldj vu for Peru, the same sequence of events happened in May in theprovince of Islay in Arequipa, when four people, including a police officer, were killed after protests against the Tia Maria copper mine. A state of emergency was declared for 60 days.Peru deployed 4,000 military and police officers to Islay when Peruviansattempted to block the Pan-American Highway.Locals believed the Swiss-based mining project was contaminating water and sickening animals.High levels of arsenic, copper, mercury and other heavy metals were found in soil and water samples, but the company denies that. This time on national TV,Prime Minister Pedro Cateriano said: The national police with the backing of the armed forces will take charge of keeping public order. President Ollanta Humala who called the 30-day state of emergencysummarized the priorities of the conflict: I think that it is important to protect the lives of people, but also public goods and private property. Although similar to state of emergency, martial law is when the military is in complete control and all other branches of government are ignored or do not matter. In a state of emergency the government is in full control to the point of suspending rights and often uses force. Very rarely does one question whether that is necessary in a state of emergency and how often the government could declare it in order to force aplan that isrepugnant or potentiallydangerous to its people, without finding a better way or some type of recompense.

Recent posts byHeather Callaghan If I recall correctly, in the book Blue Gold The Fight to Stop the Corporate Theft of the Worlds Water (2002), Peruvian peasants joined forces and kicked out Nestle or some other multinational corporation when they attempted to privatize public water sources and sell it back to the Peruvians at astronomical prices. Keeping my fingers crossed the Peruvians shove pitchforks at political quislings and foreign parasites to prevail, again. Thanks for the reading suggestion! I hope for them too Youre welcome, Heather, and thank you for your fantastic articles. BTW, in case you havent seen it, Richard Grove of Tragedy and Hope recently did a brilliant interview of Patrick Wood on the issue of Technocracy, dissecting the who, how, and why aspects.

2	Liberals Are Demanding Cracker And Barrel Change Their Name To THIS Lately it seems as if America is a land of free speech for anyone except white Christian Americans. Controversial as it may seem, their required to tiptoe around issues for fear of being painted a bigot or a racist. Obama has done everything he can to divide our cultures, making every issue a racial one. Thats why Ryan Koch of Des Moines, IA decided to take a stab at the way Americans have been handling things lately. His satirical petition demands that Cracker Barrel change their name to Caucasian Barrel. You can read the full description below: I say all of us European Americans start protesting C****er Barrel. It uses an offensive slur and it is deeply offensive and mocks our long and proud heritage. The name is offensive, their logo stereotypes European Americans as people who sit on chairs and lean against what appears to be a bourbon barrel, claiming we are all a bunch of alcoholics. Sure, theyll SAY its a cracker barrel but everyone knows crackers dont come in barrels, they come in bags and boxes! Change the name C****er Barrel to Caucasian Barrel. After all, white people should have something to be offended by, too! The petition is obviously intended to be humorous, but it does highlight a growing issue in our country. What do you think? Are you tired of the double standard? 
1	Turning his gaze downward just in time to avoid eye contact, shy local man Carl Huskins narrowly avoided a gregarious product representative offering toothpicked morsels of teriyaki chicken at an area Rouses supermarket, sources confirmed Sunday. Wow, that was close, the awkward and visibly rattled 41-year-old said following the near-encounter, which reportedly caused him to pivot his shopping cart around abruptly so he could escape down the pet food aisle rather than risk social interaction with a stranger. Thank God I got out of there. I would have been stuck struggling to make some kind of small talk and racking my brain for a way to end the exchange without sounding like a jerk. Now I just need to play it cool and act like Im looking for something, even though I dont actually need anything from this aisle. According to reports, the sheepish man was later paralyzed with fear upon realizing the store had removed its self-checkout lines and he would be forced to interact with a human cashier. 
2	Bush Now Being Blamed For Obama Breaking The Law On Terrorist Deal In a recent television interview on MSNBC, Carol Rosenberg, a reporter for the Miami Herald, told Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC that she was perplexed by the criticism from Congress over President Obamas recent negotiations with terrorists. Apparently, the thought of releasing five Taliban detainees from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for an American deserter, Bowe Bergdahl, is not big news to her. Rosenberg argues that the White House has been hinting at the deal, and that it has in fact been in the works for a few years. She claims that it is not surprising that Congress was never officially consulted. Rosenberg does admit, however, that the negotiations took place at an extraordinarily rapid pace. She also speculated that because of the delicate nature of the exchange, the President most likely had legitimate reasons for not informing Congress until the deal was already in progress. The White House and Pentagon intentionally bypassed the 30 day statutory notice requirement that was signed by the President just last year. Obama used executive privilege to avoid the process. According to Rosenberg, Obama was following a precedent that she claims was established by the George Bush Administration. What do you think of Rosenbergs comments? 
2	Michelle Obama Disrespects Our Country In A Way That You Wont Believe Michelle Obama seems to have passion for a lot of thingslike tasteless food, for example. Unfortunately, America is not one of them. That may sounds like an opinion, but with the public displays of apathy Michelle has for things like the National Anthem, its closer to a fact. In 2008, Michelle for the first time expressed just how proud she was for her country. But her facial expression at events speak a million words. Her priorities are totally off. What do you think? Are you ready for a first family who truly represents America? 
1	Silencing gossip in the media about her weight, singer and actress Jessica Simpson wowed crowds this weekend when she stepped out in Beverly Hills with a trim new figure, flaunting her slender frame for the first time since chopping off all her limbs in October. Gurl srsly looks ah-mazing! Hollywood blogger Perez Hilton wrote under photographs of the starlet being wheeled into a shoe store, reportedly a whole 80 pounds lighter than she was last month. Paps snapped our girl de-stressing with some retail therapy, and mama is looking fabulous with her slimmed-down frame! We are so proud of you, Jess! When reached for comment, Simpson said the process of taking off the weight was easy, fun, and the best thing Ive ever done for myself.

1	According to a report in Monday's Jacksonville Times-Union, former Quantum Leap star Scott Bakula has turned 43. 'Scott Bakula.... 43' read the report, which appeared in the newspaper's 'Lifestyle' section. The story went on to note that Lou Rawls, Penny Marshall, Kate Jackson and Bruce Jenner also had birthdays Monday. Times-Union editor Pat Krause refused to reveal his newspaper's source for the story. 
2	Geraldo Releases AntiGeraldo Rivera has received immense criticism for his extreme views, which have often gotten him in trouble with the media. Recently, following the shooting in Roseburg, Oregon, Geraldo once again sparked outrage when he called the Second Amendment bulls*** and then went on to advocate for more armed guards. The mass murder at Umpqua again reveals we are a gun sick nation, Rivera wrote. All the 2nd Amendment bulls**t aside, the gun lobby controls the country, and allows armed maniacal lunatics to roam free and kill. Geraldo then goes on to contradict himself entirely. That said, isnt it malpractice per se for any educational institution not to have at least one armed guard on campus trained and ready to fight gunfire with gunfire? he continued. Cops are great, but unless someone is right there, armed and ready, locked and loaded, innocents will continue to be slaughtered by gun-empowered, penis-envying, disgruntled, self life-hating, sicko creeps who got someone devoid of conscience to sell or give them a deadly weapon with which to take the lives of people much better than they. Rivera clearly is confused. He is angry that America has too many guns, but argues that there werent enough guns on the campus of Umpqua Community College. What do you think? Does Fox News needs to fire Rivera before he continues to make a fool of himself? 
1	In a moment of confusion, area teenager Eric Dooley briefly walked into a local teen outreach center Tuesday, a place that neither he nor any of his teenaged friends would ever knowingly enter. 'Oh, geez. I'm sorry,' the 15-year-old said as he quickly assessed the four battered foosball tables, outdated PlayStation console, overly friendly counselor, and garish orange and purple paint schemeall intended to appeal to himbefore exiting the facility in less than six seconds. 'This isn't where I'm supposed to be. Sorry. Sorry.' Dooley reportedly joined a gang later that afternoon. 
2	Al Sharpton Demands That Brewery Remove Their Racist Slogan New York Citys Heartland Brewery has started receiving immense criticism for the slogan youll be a slave to the flavor on their Bavarian Black Lager. At a time when race relations are at the heart of the national and local discourses, Heartland Brewery has decided to evoke the pain and trauma of our nations most shameful and hateful legacy and use it as a cheap marketing ploy, Kirsten John Foy of Al Sharptons National Action Network claims. She went on to call the slogan absolutely inappropriate, offensive and intentionally provocative. The brewerys owner, Joel Bloostein, claims that he has been using the slogan for years. Further, the beers marketing materials suggest sexual domination, rather than any racial implications. The beer is served in a pint glass featuring a dominatrix. Connecting the world black in Bavarian Black Lager to black people is incredibly farfetched, Bloostein told reporters. Alleging any connection to racism is ridiculous. The decent thing to do at this point would be for Heartland to say Oops, we f*****d up, were going to fix it, and were sorry, writes one Jezebel author, who acknowledges that Bloostein probably didnt intend for the slogan to have racist undertones. Others have supported the brewery, claiming that the assertions against the beer are far-fetched. What do you think? 
1	Though fewer and fewer games are being held each weekend, sources confirmed Thursday that anticipation and tension throughout the NFL seems to be gradually increasing, and the entire 2010-2011 season appears to be building toward some sort of momentous climax. 'Traditionally, there are 13 to 16 professional football games played on any given weekend, but last week there were only four,' AP football analyst Larry Lage said. 'That's right, four. And, perhaps more telling, the general consensus seems to be that those games were markedly more intense than usual, as if there were more at stake. Clearly, something big is looming on the NFL's horizon, but I can't put my finger on exactly what that is.' 'I think it all must be leading up to some sort of ultimate NFL extravaganza,' Lage added. 'And I feel like it's going to be on top of us before we know it.' According to sources, a sort of 'win or go home' mentality began consuming the league and its players just after New Year's, with Jan. 2 marking the last time that all NFL teams played. The following week, the league shifted to the four-game format, and teams who seemed to have not performed as well throughout the year did not play, leaving many to wonder if their seasons were completely finished or if they would eventually be coming back for some sort of season-ending grand finale. Eyewitnesses present at the games played on Jan. 8 and Jan. 9 claimed that the atmosphere at those contests was electric, describing fans and players alike as 'unusually excited' and 'much more demonstrative,' as if whatever these games are building toward is extremely important to them. In addition, teams who won were seen to celebrate in an unusually exuberant fashion, whereas losing teams seemed dejected to the point of misery, as if some crushing finality had taken place. 'I couldn't help but have this weird sense that the game was some sort of huge rivalry, even though the Seahawks and Saints almost never play each other,' said Bellingham, WA resident Jill Bourne, who accompanied her coworkers to the game last Saturday. 'There was definitely a feeling of this matchup being more important than most, and that feeling only increased after Seattle won, as if their victory had intensified the pressure upon them.' In a development that may or may not be related, teams that played last weekend and lost, most notably the Colts and Saints, do not appear on the upcoming schedule. 'Whatever they are playing toward must be very important to both the players and their fans, and the pattern seems to suggest that in order to get there, they have to win,' said New York Times sportswriter Dave Caldwell, who covers the Jets. 'What I've gleaned from the whole thing is that these teams desperately want to make it to Arlington, TX. For what, I don't know. But whatever is going to happen is going to happen there.' 'However, all my sources in the Cowboys front office indicate that organization has no football games scheduled in the near future,' Caldwell continued. 'Perhaps these teams are playing to gain backstage passes to a Black Eyed Peas concert.' At press time, football sources noted that the NFL had planned for just two games the weekend of Jan. 22-23. The league had not yet disclosed which four teams would be involved, or indeed where the games would take place. Calls to league headquarters were met with denials that any major policy changes with regard to scheduling had taken place for the new year. 'There is no denying that as they play fewer games, the excitement becomes greater,' Fox Sports football correspondent Adam Schein said. 'That's only natural, but why this buildup? What's at stake?' 'Because if this is all just some sort of results-based elimination sequence to boil the league down to one team, well, that's a lot of anticipation for not a lot of payoff,' Schein added. 'Especially if all the teams are just going to come back later in the year and start playing again.'

2	Country Starts Demolishing Mosques, See What Happened Next [VIDEO] According to recent reports, the African nation of Angola has just become the first country to ban Islam and Muslims. This is the final end of Islamic influence in our country, Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos said in a statement. The process of legalization of Islam has not been approved by the Ministry of Justice and Human rights, Angolan Minister of Culture, Rosa Cruz e Silva told reporters. Their mosques would be closed until further notice. Silva also claims that the ban is necessary because Islam is and has been contradictory to the customs of Angola culture. This is not a surprise, given that the 16 million population is mostly made up of Christians. The majority of Muslims currently living in the country are migrants from West Africa and Lebanon. 
2	BREAKING: Shooter Open Fires At U.S. Hotel, At Least One Dead... Please Pray One person was killed and several more were injured when a gunman opened fire at a hotel in eastern Tennessee on Thursday morning. The gunman reportedly shot and killed 44-year-old Jennifer Rooney, a newspaper carrier for the Bristol Hearld-Courier. She was driving to pick up papers at the time, and her vehicle then careened over an embankment. Rooney had been working with the paper since August. Her husband, David, declined to comment on the matter as relatives gathered at his home. The shooter also injured at least two other motorists driving on Volunteer Parkway near a Days Inn hotel, close to the Virginia-Tennessee border. Fortunately, Bristol police were able to quickly apprehend the suspect, who was armed with at least two weapons. He shot at police officers, wounding one of them. The suspect was also injured when police returned fire. Herald-Courier publisher Jim Maxwell called the incident a senseless act of violence that has shaken the city of Bristol. Please send your prayer to the Rooney family and the families of all those who were injured.

2	BOMBSHELL: The Truth About Obama Finally Revealed The Jerusalem Post was recently published an op-ed article written by David Parsons, who is the director of media and PR of the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem. Unmasking the real Obama Doctrine has sparked a debate about Obamas many mistakes in the Middle East. His withdrawals from Iraq and Afghanistan were predictably premature, risking all the American capital and blood invested there, Parsons wrote. He has overlooked every anti-Western antic of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey, while bullying Israel and berating Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at every turn. Parsons then went on to describe how Obama has ruined relationships with long-standing allies. He has bent over backwards to placate Tehran in pursuit of an elusive deal that is most assuredly setting off a nuclear arms race in a Middle East already in flames, Parsons continues passionately. In short, Obama has alienated allies and coddled enemiesall the while chasing some goal that has yet to be clearly identified. What do you think? Do you agree with Parsons? 
2	BREAKING: Mitt Romney Makes Huge Decision Thats Changing The 2016 Election In 2012, Mitt Romney lost the presidential election largely because he expressed a few unpopular views. One of those views was that the Russian government was a threat. Obama and the Democratic Party continuously shot down his claim. Interestingly, in the past 6 months, many of Romneys predictions have come to fruition. Americans views on Russiaand on Romneyhimself are starting to change. That has people wondering if Romney will run again in the 2016 election, throwing his hat in the ring with the likes of Hillary Clinton, who is rumored to run as well. Although Romney has not given any information that would definitively place him in the race, Republicans are starting to put their support behind him. Theyre hoping Governor Romney was on a radio show recently dodging questions that would definitively put him in the race. Still, Americans are hopeful that a strong Republican candidate like Romney will step up to the plate and take Hillary out of the running. 
1	After Jets quarterback Geno Smith finished last weeks game against the Giants with a 45.7 passer rating, head coach Rex Ryan told reporters Thursday that the team is very encouraged by the rookies mastery of their offensive system. All camp weve watched to see if Geno understands what were trying to do here, and by completing barely half of his passes and throwing three interceptions against the Giants, he proved to everyone that he does, said Ryan, adding that Smith demonstrated a firm grasp of key schematic elements such as staring down reads, throwing balls behind receivers, and rarely leading a drive of more than 20 yards. When Geno carelessly scrambled out of the back of our end zone for a safety, I knew he was ready to lead the Jets in the regular season. He gets it. Ryan confirmed that Smiths greatest areas for improvement are boosting his relatively low sack and fumble totals. 
1	Having repeatedly ratcheted up the 34-year-olds level of discomfort with no noticeable effect on his behavior, the body of local man Kent Dugan confirmed Wednesday that it was starting to run out of ideas to convince him that he was full. Ive nearly maxed out the aches and pains in his stomach and pumped out a ton of sweat on his brow, but he just keeps on shoveling down waffle fries, reported Dugans body, adding that it had already tried some nausea, abdominal bloating, and a bout of acid reflux, none of which had slowed Dugans consumption in the slightest. Im pretty much out of options at this point. Short of physically locking his jaw shut, I dont know what else can be done. At press time, the mans body was briefly contemplating giving him a heart attack. 
3	Global Depopulation, Eugenics Agenda and HIVSusanne Posel, Contributor Clinton revealed that the US would pledge new funding efforts to have males in the Southern regions of Africa circumcised, while also directing money to research and development of drug corporations endeavors to stop HIV-infected women from passing the disease to their children. As part of the eugenics efforts of the global Elite, forced male circumcisionhas been happening in Africa under the guise of womens rights. The UNs International Criminal Court has presided over these alleged criminals and classified their sentence to forced circumcision as part of humane efforts to stop their behavior. Most of these procedures are conducted under mob rule with archaic disregard for human suffering. Kitchen knives, unsanitary conditions and lack of medical care afterward ensure that most of these victims do not survive long after their sentencing. The global scientific strategy at the IAC was a coalition of international scientists working under the direction of UNAIDS to develop preventative measures, identifying human immune-responsive drugs and get them onto the market as quickly as possible. By studying the HIV controllers(people who are carriers, but do not display symptoms of HIV) scientists can decipher how the human immune system works and develop pharmaceuticals to administer to the public. Scientific teams from various institutions like the Scripps Research Institute, the Rockefeller University, NIAIDs Vaccine Research Center, and Duke University are closely following how they can usethe human bodys immune system against the array of HIV strains that keep popping up. In the sub-Saharan region of Africa, drug resistant forms of HIV are being found which leave current treatments ineffective. Dr. Silvia Bertagnolio from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Dr. Ravindra Gupta from the University College of London have stated: Without continued and increased national and international efforts, rising HIV drug resistance could jeopardize a decade-long trend of decreasing HIV/Aids-related illness and death in low- and middle-income countries. These doctors are calling for more research and development to be conducted on the African people to find the causes if this drug resistance in Africa. Somehow, the eugenics aspect of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, which directly correlates to its origin and would be useful in finding its cure is completely ignored by mainstream media, medical communities and even some members of the alternative media. In July 2008, The Washington Postreleased an article admitting that, strangely enough, people of African descent are much more likely to have a genetic trait that makes them more susceptible to infection with the HIV virus. Scientists conducting the studyand working for the Wilford Hall United State Air Force Medical Center and San Antonio Military Medical Center claim: The benefit that the Africans got from a mutation that gave them some resistance to malaria has, statistically at least, rendered them some increased susceptibility to HIV. According to the Rockefeller University, their studiesinto how the human (HIS) immune system responds to infections have led to the ability to coerce the HIS to attack cells within the human body through the use of vaccines. Merck, along with the US Military HIV Research Program has been attempting to pioneer the HIV vaccine industry with trials in 2007 that actually caused those who were inoculated to become more susceptible to HIV. This has prompted the study into the HIS and how to effectively manipulate its functions. Merck plans on returning to Thailand and the scene of their human experiments in 2007 to trial study a new HIV immunization that will combine two separate vaccines. JohnsonJohnson are joining with Merck, the National Institutes of Medicine and other bio-technological corporations that specialize in researching the viral effects of genetically engineered viruses on the human and animal immune system. Biotechnological corporations and bioweapons laboratories have been fascinated with genetically engineering viruses and bacteriathat can invade the HIS. Kartheryn Nixdorff, professor at the University of Darmstadt, saysthat micro-organisms have already been produced during the creation of vaccines that can be used as bioweapons. Nixdorff suggests that bugs could be engineered to be resistant to a virus that could devastate human populations, while race or ethnic specific bioweapons could and are plausible for military use. Biological warfare programs have been around since the 1940s. In 2002, the US Air Force (USAF) released a studythat analyzed the threat of bioweapons with the use of genetic engineering, biowarfare and bioterrorism. The creation of black biology or the biotechnology industrys endeavors to create genetically engineered bioweapons that compromise the HIS can be an effective mode of terrorism. In 1962, the US Senate received a reportconcerning chemical and biological warfare. This is the government contract where HIV-like and Ebola-like viruses were bio-engineered by the US military and the bioweapons contracting lab Biomedics. They were producing viral cancer in monkeys that could then be used through genetic engineering to infect humans. Robert Gallo, working with the National Cancer Institute, was part of this project. Millions of people are dying from this US-sponsored government project to depopulate certain groups of people because of their ethnic heritage; and the US Congress knew about it, and endorsed its use. These biological agents are classified as non-lethal warfare because the morality is not instantaneous. Rockefeller and Stanford globalist think-tanks came up with the concept of ethnic cleansing by way of prolonged infection so that the target and cause could not be correlated. Biologicals and chemicals provide this covert mass extermination. According to the global Elite, this form of depopulation is economically sound as a standard form of military soft kill. Use of bioweapons and suppressive-immunological viruses like HIV are introduced into the general public without possibility of traceable detection, and thus effectively and silently reduce the population. Studiesinto immune suppression as a treatment for cancer are not only conducted with the express purpose of analyzing infectious viruses, but also developing antiviral potentials that can target specific aspects of the human body by genetic amplification. There are millions who are suffering and dying at the hands of eugenicist psychopaths who not only want to depopulate the planet, but are targeting specific races to wipe out first. The truth of HIV/AIDS origins is important if the disease is ever to be cured. Because knowing how it was created, will direct researchers to develop a medical response that will be effective in eradicating this bioweapon and stop the global Elites monstrous plans to murder 90% of the worlds population.

3	Comic Books, Casinos and Empires: Radioactive Lies Aim To Deceive PublicRichard Wilcox, PhD Even as radiation flows out of the destroyed Fukushima nuclear power plant no. 1 (FNPP#1) and contaminates the ocean with cesium, tritium and all of the accompanied artificial and harmful radionuclides (1; 2), the pro-nuke propagandists are hard at work telling us that radiation is nothing to get riled up about and you could get run over by a truck, struck by lightning or slip in the bathtub, and the ocean is a big place. Big, yes, but not infinite. If radiation is not harmful to organisms why bother with the pretense of environmental regulations at all? Bioscience expert Majia Nadesan is a hardheaded professor at Arizona State University who is in the path of Fukushima airborne radioactive fallout. She has assiduously documented the dangers of nuclear radiation and warns: [the risk] model of dose-effects taken from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) assumes a vacuum where exposure is limited to a single radioisotope. The models predictions for dose-effects do not incorporate cumulative and synergistic effects. So, official cesium measurements can be described as safe because the risk is measured as a single one-time assault with NO effort to incorporate the presence and impact of OTHER RADIONUCLIDES. Thus, the public is persuaded that North American sea lions adverse mortality event is completely unrelated to Fukushima ocean contamination. Unfortunately, real world chemical and radiation effects for flora and fauna are impacted by bioaccumulation and exposure interactions (3). There is now a total of 50 confirmed thyroid cancer among children in Fukushima prefecture. Another 39 new suspected cases of thyroid cancer were also admitted. Previous testing had found 41 suspected cases and 33 confirmed. The 50 cases are confirmed to be thyroid cancer, not lumps. The suspected cases that now would total 80 are normally set for biopsy tests to confirm or rule out cancer. This puts a new total of 130 in the confirmed or suspect cases yet the government insists there is no connection to the nuclear disaster. Thyroid cancer in children is usually extremely rare (6). Power To The Sheeple The anti-nuclear movement in Japan is all but dead. Other than occasional marches from the hard core anti-nuke activists, the only news to show Japans body politic is still breathing was a small protest against the rising militarism of the Abe administration. Where were the other 125 million Japanese people to voice their opinion on this important issue? Combating what they call an effort to turn Japan into a pro-war country, 2,500 people formed a human chain around the Diet building at noon Tuesday to protest the Prime Minister Shinzo Abes drive to reinterpret the pacifist Constitution (7). In the face of weak resistance to militarism and nuclear-ism the Abe administration has decided on a plan to send Olympic athletes to train within a stones throw of the still smoldering nuclear catastrophe zone in Fukushima prefecture (8). What if another disaster or explosion were to occur during training? When I visited J-Village last summer background radiation was 0.5 microsieverts per hour, which equals 4.38 millisieverts per year, a rate that would fulfill the lifetime dose limit of one hundred millisieverts within 23 years. And who knows how many hot particles athletes may breathe into their lungs from the regular emissions at the plant? Its business as usual for Mr. Abe: In defiance of fierce public objection to the government policies of restarting off-line nuclear reactors and promoting the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade framework, Japans prime minister devoted his time to expanding the markets for Japanese nuclear- and military-related companies during his 10-day visit to six European nations, including Germany, Britain, and France (9). Although the rhetoric about fierce public objections from the fiery Japan Communist Party newspaper may be overstated, their point is well taken. Despite all the problems related to nuclear power its supporters in Japan, the UK and France continue to bumble along. Green Nukes If you can stomach the pro-nuke shills who are paid to spread disinformation in the mainstream media and Internet comment sections, you will hear the usual refrain that because we have to fight global warming, no matter how distasteful you might find nuclear power to be, you must bite the bullet, stop being such a whiner and accept it. Embrace Nukes. Learn to Love the Nuke. A Deal with the Devil This balderdash is easily refuted and yet like the mold in the corner of a dank basement keeps reappearing. For one thing the Nuclear Power pretext of low carbon is [a] BIG LIE (10). As one astute Internet commentator has noted, whatever the science on global warming (and I am open to the possibility that the planet is either warming, cooling or fluctuating according to natural causes, that includes the possibility of human caused pollution and atmospheric damage to the environment and tampering with it as with chemtrails and HAARP), it is indisputable that the issue is being manipulated for very profound, and some might say deeply sinister, political and economic reasons (11). I have never been able to take the Al Gores of this world seriously due to their obvious hypocrisy. Al Gore as a politician was no worse than most, but he hardly advanced the cause of a small is beautiful, democratic, decentralized, rural, green, Amish, Christian love-thy-neighbor model of society. He like many other UN globalists, puppet politicos, technocrats, liberals, Neocons and RINO Republicans (Republican In Name Only) call for greater centralization of political power in order to enforce the measures that are said to save humanity. Instead of promoting solar, geothermal and wind power and a decentralized electricity grid in Japan, the elitist Japanese LDP administration promotes crackpot schemes like Orbital Death Stars in order to power the planet while cloud seeding their deep pockets with tax payer largesse (12). But as my colleague Yoichi Shimatsu pointed out about Japans plans to build an Orbital Solar Farm: Transmission of power via microwaves from orbit to Earth is dangerous for any bird, planeload of passengers, people walking on the ground and needless to say animals. Japan does not invest in offshore wind farms in the empty Sea of Okhotsk but can put money in breeder reactors and orbiting death stars. Solar power for a laser cannon in sky targeting missile launchers and command posts in China and the Koreas (personal communication, May, 2014). As I noted in my paper from 2005, technology can be employed to cause, solve and create new problems all at once. Win-win situations for crony capitalists and militarists at the expense of life on the planet (13). Occultist Evil: Hoodwinked and Double Crossed In order to hoodwink and double cross the public, manipulation of perceptions is necessary, and that means dismissing the possibility of alternative, renewable energy in favor of nuclear power. One energy expert shared with me the insight that the power companies in the UK deliberately turn off the wind mills at certain times in order make it appear as though they are not properly producing energy, only to later turn around and manipulate the statistics in their favor. According to this source, the EDF (UK energy company) intentionally blocks reliable stats about the potential of wind power from getting into the hands of the BBC, so that they might report fairly about it. The public then believes the propaganda that wind power is not viable and that we have to relied on good ole nuke power, alas. He assumed the situation would be similar in Japan regarding Tepco and NHK. Stop Grazing And Look Up Another aspect of climate and weather issues that is rarely mentioned by many of those involved in the debate is the reality of chemtrails. In case this is news to you, just look out your window and watch patches of jet trails that sit in the sky, gradually disperse and turn the sky into a white haze. This did not occur in years past and these are definitely not condensation trails which consist of moisture. Chemtrails are full of particulate matter, probably a combination of harmful chemicals (14; 15; 16; 17). A friend in Japan wrote to me the other day: Ive been seeing a lot more chemtrails recently. This is getting scary. Whats really scary is that no-one else sees them! This morning Yahoo news said there was going to be a lot of rain, and then it hardly rained at all. Then I thought back to yesterday when the sky was full of artificial clouds. Those chemtrail produced artificial clouds must make weather prediction very difficult. What look like rain-producing clouds are just chemical-filled clouds. Its so depressing to see them. Ive never seen any chemtrails in Taiwan, and this makes me think more about moving back there. I personally witness chemtrails nearly every frigging day in the the Tokyo area, and I travel to a variety of far flung destinations. Where is the outcry? How the liberal environmentalists who write for the Japan Times cant notice sewerage in the sky left by jets is beyond me. I have a friend who writes for the State of the Nation website and he recently sent me this explanation of the denialist mentality: Those who deny the existence of chemtrails are either willfully ignorant or dangerously arrogant, or both; therefore, why bother debating with them? Of course, there are those who run Facebook pages who are paid government agents or corporate shills with a vested interest in the multi-billion dollar global chemtrail program. Then there are the simple folks who refuse to believe because of a bad case of lifelong cognitive dissonance, or an unshakable faith in trustworthy government, or a serial neglect of skywatching (as in never looking up at the sky). Lastly, there are the legions of scientists and academics, researchers and writers, from whom the faculty of human reason has completely fled. These pseudo-scientists are not only devoid of common sense; they lack the ability to apply objective and unbiased critical thinking. For many of these lost causes, years of university study have force-fed them incorrect science theories, taught them flawed scientific methodology and encouraged their blind allegiance to defective scientific paradigms. These PhD types have often been exposed to years of intense and purposeful indoctrination. Erroneous information and incomplete knowledge, that is incessantly reinforced by professors and reference books alike, ensures that they will never leave such an intellectually-challenged reservation. They also know quite well who funds their various grants and scholarships, and how not to put them in jeopardy. Furthermore, the relentless doctoral conditioning and/or post-doctoral brainwashing virtually guarantees that they will always side with the system (18). And yet, [i]s it still just a conspiracy theory if public officials admit it is true? Air Force Admits Weather Control via HAARP and New Tech Geoengineering (19). One prolific Internet commentator, John Friend, offered a useful explanation. On his podcast radio show he played a clip from a Russian commentator who noted that people are now so demoralized that no matter how much truth you shower upon them in the form of factual information it has no effect. Exposure to true information does not matter anymore he said to Mike King, a brilliant and prolific author who debunks the lies of the New York Times at his website. Mike noted that otherwise scientifically astute people will accept the absurd and officially sanctioned government explanation for 911. Most of our fellow country man are not just misinformed, they are insane (20). Lets hope there was a bit of tongue and cheek going on here and that we will still win out! Corporate Media: The Filth Estate Nevertheless, the media plays an important role in deceiving people. A top communications person at General Electric admitted in a public Internet forum that he can control the media. I have solid relationships with reporters and producers at the countrys largest media outlets like CNN, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, NBCs Today Show, the AP and others. I have placed front page, A-block stories in these and other publications and, as importantly, kept my clients off the front pages of these same publications My crisis experience includes post-Fukushima reputation management, commercial and general aviation aircraft accidents and incidents, national security threats and the U.S. governments response (including 9/11, the August 2007 liquid explosives threat) and others (21). Im shocked, just shocked to find gambling going on here, Rick. Oh, and thank you for my winnings by the way. Of course, GE which built the flawed nuclear reactors that exploded on 3/11, is also a major weapons manufacturer and as long been a cheerleader for war since every bombed dropped on a third world village wedding ceremony is money into the pockets of GE stock holders. And the massive propaganda behind 911 has convinced many people that 911 was a Muslim terrorist attack on the US, when the facts show it was a false flag terror event. Japanese Prime Minster Abe is an astute student of the scientific mind control system and buys good press coverage in order to hoodwink and double cross the Japanese public: Japans mass media have become PR organs of the national government regarding major political issues such as the consumption tax increase, revision of the Constitution, and Japans joining in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade pact. In the background lies the close relationship between media executives and Prime Minister Abe Shinzo. Abe has repeatedly dined and played golf with chairpersons and presidents of media companies since he took office. The following are companies whose top executives dined with Abe since March last year: the Yomiuri Shimbun, the Asahi Shimbun, the Mainichi Newspapers, the Sankei Shimbun, the Nikkei, Kyodo News, TV Asahi, Nippon TV, and Fuji Television Network (22). In Japan Abes control of media has allowed him to deceive the public into a false sense of security while expanding his military plans. A recent meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu led to an agreement between Japan and Israel to join hands on defense and Internet security (23). Considering that Israel is the worlds leader in spying and false flag terrorism such alliances do not inspire confidence for the future stability of Japan. Furthermore, the casino mogul, Sheldon Adelson, who donates millions of dollars to fund presidential campaigns in the US (now that billionaires and corporations completely control the election system) is attempting to move into Japans political arena. Apparently even the CIA-run Japan Times has now become an antisemitic conspiracy rag as witnessed by the following editorial: If Adelsons casinos were allowed to operate in Japan, he might seek to influence Japanese politics by spending vast sums of money here, too (24). I expect the Japan Times will be a target of boycott by the Anti Defamation League sometime soon for publishing such hate speech against such a worthy pillar of the global community. That Sheldon Adelson Wants Nuclear Strike on Iran (25) and that Republicans Grovel before Sheldons Billions does not inspire confidence in the mans sanity or his sense of fair play (26; 27; 28). Another well known anti-semitic conspiracy journal (probably to become a target of an ADL boycott), Newsweek magazine, published an explosive story, Israel Wont Stop Spying on the U.S. It reported that: Israels espionage activities in America are unrivaled and unseemly, counterspies have told members of the House Judiciary and Foreign Affairs committees, going far beyond activities by other close allies, such as Germany, France, the U.K. and Japan. A congressional staffer familiar with a briefing last January called the testimony very soberingalarmingeven terrifying. Another staffer called it damaging. The Jewish states primary target: Americas industrial and technical secrets. No other country close to the United States continues to cross the line on espionage like the Israelis do, said a former congressional staffer who attended another classified briefing in late 2013, one of several in recent months given by officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the State Department, the FBI and the National Counterintelligence Directorate (29). Newsweek has just discovered the six pointed starred tip of the iceberg! Although one must credit US President Barack Obama for not bowing to pressure from AIPAC (American Israel Political Action Committee) to attack Iran in an all-out war in the way a Sheldon Adelson or Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu would like, Obama has carried out a series of devastatingly destructive interventions in the Middle East and destabilized the world and built a domestic police state beyond what his predecessors were able to achieve (30; 31). The last man to be president and not become a psychopath and carry on his life with enduring integrity is Jimmy Carter, who has spent his post presidential life in humanitarian activities such as building houses for the poor, ensuring that elections abroad are fair (but not in the US); criticizing the Zionist power configuration (and being shunned by his own Democrat Party for it); and speaking out on behalf of the rights of the worlds women (32). Carter also recently stated that the US has no functioning democracy (33). I actually voted for Jimmy Carter in 1980, the first time I was able to vote in a presidential election. He may have indeed been an imperfect manager for the country (as with the economy etc.), but he had some degree of integrity, his brother brewed beer (a big thumbs up from me) and at the time I had no idea of the machinations working against him (Reagan and Iran Contra). In the meantime, as Fukushima radiation pours into the Pacific and Godzilla hibernates waiting for this time to arise again and rage, the US military empire continues to expand its activities to every corner of the globe. The environment and human health suffer but US power appears to have no accountability (34). Lets hope the talented Mr. Putin can throw a BRIC in their path to stop them. * Richard Wilcox is a Tokyo-based teacher and writer who holds a Ph.D. in environmental studies and is a regular contributor to the worlds leading website exposing the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Rense.com.

3	Big Food to Support a Forgiving Federal GMO Labeling BillYoutube 
1	In a statement delivered to friends, family members, and household pets, Kendall Garretson announced Monday that she would like to become an 13-ton, 275-horsepower John Deere row-crop tractor when she grows up. Garretson, who turned 5 in May, developed an interest in becoming the powerful motor-driven vehicle during a recent trip to her grandfather's farm. According to sources, the young kindergarten student made her decision based on a number of key factors, including her desire to have 'big wheels,' make holes in the ground with 'a digger,' and chase birds and butterflies through fields of sunflowers. Garretson 'I'm gonna be a tractor,' Garretson said. 'Tractors are fun.' Although Garretson does not have a six-cylinder diesel engine, independent-link suspension, or a comfort command seat with air-suspension swivel, the 5-year-old said she was excited to be both red and shiny someday. Garretson added that as a tractor she would sleep in the barn with the cows and the chickens, but not with the pigs, because the pigs make too much of a mess. 'I'll drive around in the dirt, but I won't get stuck,' Garretson said. 'Because I'll spin my tires lots and lots.' Since making her intentions known, Garretson has set about preparing for her career as the hauling vehicle by talking about tractors, coloring in drawings of tractors, asking her parents where tractors come from, and walking around her house making 'VROOOOM, VROOOOM' sounds. Garretson, at right, meets her boss during her first day in the new position. In addition to performing her regular tractor duties, such as 'mowing all the corn,' Garretson said she plans to give rides to every one of her friends, even Brian Waldie, even though he is sometimes mean. Although Garretson clearly stated her future goal of becoming a tractor, the unexpected announcement left a large number of adults feeling confused, with some assuming that the 5-year-old meant she wanted to be a farmer instead of a piece of agricultural equipment. In response to the off-base remarks, Garretson accused the adults of not paying attention, jumped up and down while shaking her head violently, and called everyone a 'bunch of sillies.' 'A tractor,' Garretson continued. 'Trrraaaaaccctooooor!' Before settling on tractor, Garretson is said to have contemplated a variety of possible career paths, including a professional great white shark, a bouncy trampoline, 'a doctor nurse just like Mommy,' and the pink ballerina inside of her music box. Garretson went on to say that she would like to someday eat cookies for breakfast and be a mother to 17 infants, all of them girls. When asked how she envisioned a typical workday as a tractor, the 5-year-old claimed it would begin with her mother waking her up early in the morning with a kiss. After driving into the farmhouse for breakfast, Garretson would rouse the horses, ducks, and flowers, and play with them until lunchtime. The rest of her schedule would reportedly consist of driving up and down the fields and skipping rope. Despite having chosen tractor as a career, Garretson has shown little interest in soil cultivation or, at the very least, the hydraulic requirements for maintaining a properly functioning front-end loader. Instead, the 5-year-old has spent most of her time deciding which of her toys she will bring along to the farm. 'When I'm a tractor, I'm gonna pull a wagon, and then I'm gonna put all of my stuffed animals inside the wagon,' Garretson said. 'And my dollhouse. And a bunny. And maybe a Halloween pumpkin. But I won't let spiders on it unless they promise not to bite anyone.' During several other statements about her future, Garretson maintained that upon reaching adulthood she would cross the street by herself and marry the family's English bulldog, Rutherford. Garretson also stated that her cousin Madison could not come to her wedding if she kept chewing on her crayons. Representatives from the John Deere Corporation told reporters that Garretson was a 'promising candidate' for the company's annual $25,000 scholarship aimed at helping young people become tractors. 
2	Air Force Removes Bible Because Its Offensive For some time now, the United States military has honored troops who do not return home from their assignments with a permanently set table in military base dining rooms. The memorial is complete with a round table, a white cloth, a single red rose, a slice of lemon and the Bible. Each of these symbols has profound meaning. According to the POW-MIA organization, the Bible is set to represent the strength gained through faith in our country, founded as one nation under God, to sustain those lost from our midst. Unfortunately, that message was stripped from the Patrick Air Force Base in Florida because the Bible ignited controversy and division. The 45th Space Wing deeply desires to honor Americas Prisoners of War (POW) and Missing in Action (MIA) personnel, base commanders said in a statement. Unfortunately, the Bibles presence or absence on the table at the Riverside Dining Facility ignited controversy and division, distracting from the tables primary purpose of honoring POWs/MIAs. The organization then went on to claim that they temporarily replaced the table with the POW/MIA flag in an effort to show continued support of these heroes while seeking an acceptable solution to the controversy. Their goal is to restore the table in a manner that is more inclusive. Of course, the decision is not being taken lightly, and some veterans have even started boycotting the dining hall in protest. What do you think? Are you tired of our men and women in uniform being stripped of their rights to religious expression? 
2	BREAKING: Trey Gowdy Hits Hillary With Felony Charges Her Career Is OFFICIALLY Over According to recent reports, Trey Gowdy, Chairman for the House Select Committee on Benghazi, has come forward with claims with that Hillary Clinton wiped the emails off her private server before turning it over to investigators. Gowdy claims that Clinton unilaterally decided to wipe her server clean and permanently delete all emails from her personal server. It appears she made the decision after October 28, 2014, when the Department of State for the first time asked the Secretary to return her public record to the Department, Gowdy wrote. After seeking and receiving a two week extension from the Committee, Secretary Clinton failed to provide a single new document to the subpoena issued by the Committee and refused to provide her private server to the Inspector General for the State Department or any other independent arbiter for analysis. This is not the first time Gowdy has accused Clinton of tampering with evidence. Hes also pointed to numerous gaps in the email records Hillary has provided, claiming that they span months and months and months. Gowdy also assured the public that his committee will work with the leadership of the House of Representatives as the Committee considers next steps. What do you think? Are you surprised Hillary is trying desperately to hide something? 
1	In an annual ritual as regular as the arrival of summer itself, the nation's waterslide tunnels were purged Monday of all the bats inhabiting them. 'Go on, scram,' the nation's broom-wielding water-park employees said to the bats, which took up residence in the dim fiberglass tubes shortly after Labor Day last year. 'Go make your nest somewhere else! It's summertime. There are all kinds of kids who are gonna want to cool down, splash around, and enjoy themselves. So beat it!' Following the successful evacuation of the bats, the water parks' junior employees were sent into the bathrooms to clear out all the daddy longlegs and porcupines that had wintered there. 
1	Pointing out the towering stacks of manila folders cluttering his desk and stepping carefully around the millions of forms laid out on his office floor, Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service John Koskinen showed reporters Thursday his own personal filing system for keeping track of everyone in the nations tax returns. Im sure anyone who looks at the 100 million folders spread all over my office wouldnt be able to make heads or tails of my method, but trust me, I know exactly where everything is, said the IRS chief, smoothing a yellow sticky note bearing the words Alternative Minimum onto a thick sheaf of documents before stowing it away in one of his 750,000 accordion folders. All the files piled on my couch are 1040s, but the red folders are for married and filing jointly and the blue ones are for single with at least three dependents. I know it sounds confusing, but it makes sense to me. Please just dont touch anything; I had to start all over last week when someone from maintenance came through and moved some 1099s around. At press time, Koskinen went to retrieve a box of 122 million W2 forms from the back room to double-check a figure from last year. 
2	Father Protects His Family By Shooting Armed Thug Twice With Pistol A 62- year old burglar snuck onto this mans property, and when the owner confronted him, the burglar beat him with a large stick. The owner went back into his house, and returned with a gun. When the burglar, Jordan Lowe, refused to back down, he was shot twice. Lowe is currently in the hospital, and is predicted to make a full recovery. The victim was bruised and needed stitches, but was not badly harmed. Although maybe he should visit the shooting range, as two shots should have put this thug 6 feet under. Do you think this man is a hero for sticking up for his property and family? 
1	After the little ones had finished up the last of their supper, moms had dashed out to get the last of the wash off the line before the sun set, and dads had quietly finished smoking their pipes behind the evening newspaper, eager citizens from coast-to-coast gathered around the radio set to listen to the big ball game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Texas Rangers, sources in America's living rooms, dens, and parlors confirmed Wednesday. The laughing, chattering families gaily congregated around the floor-standing oak-and-Bakelite Philcos, Bendixes, and Zeniths to enjoy the warm orange glow while the vacuum tubes properly warmed up, and were gently but firmly urged to hush by the nation's fathers, who were concentrating on carefully adjusting the radio dials to the correct broadcast station. Americans of all ages let loose a small, spontaneous cheer of delight when the devices finally crackled to life and the authoritative yet soothing voice of the play-by-play announcer could be heard pronouncing the names of the teams over the familiar and highly anticipated sounds of the World Series. The nation reportedly marveled at the excellent sound quality of the broadcast, with the grandpas in particular claiming that listening to the big game on the radio set felt 'just like being at the old ballpark.' 'You can really hear the crowd, the ump, and the crack of the bat every time the ball is hit foul,' said Topeka, KS resident Larry Schultz, adding that the announcer's terse yet vivid descriptions of the infield moving over a couple steps to the left, a pitcher looking over his shoulder at a base runner, and a manager walking out to the mound were so clear he could almost see the game in his head. 'The World Series! Boy oh boy, I am wound up for this one. I love to hear our top-notch big-leaguers play a ball game.' Across the nation, streets were deserted, taprooms vacant, and general stores emptysave for the widowed old-timers listening to the shopkeeper's cigar-box crystal radio set as the potbellied stove shooed away the October chill. Lights glowed a soft yellow from the windows of all the houses in the country as the nation found itself completely entranced by the most important contest of America's national pastime, closely following each pitch on the selfsame radio sets that bring them, regular as well-wound clockwork, the quiz shows, mystery stories, serialized dramas, vaudevillian performances, and jolly big-band numbers that liven up their nightly games of checkers. However, on this very special night, the bright-eyed and apple-cheeked people of all 50 states were brought together by the unfolding matchup between the Cardinals ball club from the big city of St. Louis and the upstart Texas Rangers platoon from way out West. 'Should be a great contest, because that Texas club is a scrappy bunch that can really flash the leather and hightail it around the base-pads,' said Cleveland native Steve Bergman, who accompanied his two sons and his daughter to the study between innings so they could clamor for the privilege of showing him St. Louis and Texas on the big globe they received last Christmas. 'On the other hand, the Cardinals have a couple guys who can certainly wallop the ol' horsehide.' 'Me, I think the savvy money is on the Cardinals,' said Bergman, who also took pains to point out that he was by no means a betting man.' 'See, those Ranger boys will be quite fatigued, since they had to take the train all that ways from Texas.' The big game provided a pleasant diversion for many Americans facing joblessness or missing family members sent to war. 'Times are tough, what with the market crash and all, so it's really nice that for a little while you don't have to think about how hard it is to find factory work,' said Karen Dreisel, a Miami native. 'And since so many of us haven't seen our sons since they left on the troop train to go off to war, it's nice they had a tribute to our boys in uniform overseas. Oh, and to the gals who are helping out over there, too, of course.' In every home in America, all three generations of family members living under the roof assembled in front of the radio set for the big game, with grandparents in their rocking chairs, and fathers, mothers, aunts, and uncles seated on the edge of the davenport. Red-faced uncles apologized for loudly exclaiming 'Oh, applesauce!' after a strikeout by a favorite slugger, and children sat Indian-style or lay on the floor with their chins cradled in their hands, wearing their cherished mitts and hushing the family dog as they focused intensely on the broadcaster's voice and leaned in closer with every reverent word. As of press time, the sun had long since set on the cities and towns; the harvest moon was lining the deserted streets, sidewalks, and yards with silver; and the entire United States was silentsave for the distant crackle of the broadcast and the happy exclamations an impressive catch or throw might bring out of wholesome folk who would do anything for family, friends, neighbors, or even strangers in needas every ear in the country turned itself toward baseball. 
3	Worried Your Emails Might Be Spied On? Heres What You Can DoBy Monique Mann, Queensland University of Technology We dont truly know how much or how often this is happening within the companies that host millions of peoples email accounts. According to Reuters, Yahoo was ordered by the secret US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) to scour emails for a specific string of characters. This is significant, as it required Yahoo to create a custom-built program for real-time surveillance of email traffic. The power for this type of surveillance was expanded by the US Patriot Act, which allows for the use of secret National Security Letters (NSL) to compel service providers to hand over customer data. The letters come with gag orders, prohibiting companies like Yahoo from even admitting that they have been ordered to monitor customers. But email scanning does not only occur at the behest of national security agencies. The past decade has seen the rise of surveillance capitalism and data brokers, who collect your information for behavioural profiling and targeted advertising. Google has admitted to scanning emails to deliver targeted advertising and customised search results. Facebook is currently facing legal action for scanning private messages to do the same. And earlier this year Yahoo itself settled a class action lawsuit for scanning non-Yahoo customer emails without consent. So with all this going on, is it possible to protect your privacy? And if so, how? One way is through encryption, which allows only the sender and the receiver to read the content of messages, as it converts information into a secret code that requires a key to decode it. Public-key cryptography is one type of encryption, involving two paired keys one public and one private. When an encrypted email is sent it is encoded or locked with the receivers public key. Only the receiver can unlock it with their private key. End-to-end encryption involves encrypting information before it leaves your device, with it only being decrypted once it reaches the receivers device. In other words, it is encrypted at the ends where the keys are held. This means that security and privacy are not dependent on the channel of communication in this case the email provider because if the message is intercepted it cannot be deciphered. This prevents eavesdropping in transit. There are now numerous services that promise free end-to-end encrypted communication, including ProtonMail, Tutanota, and the messaging app Signal. Look for those with open source code because it enables peer-review, guaranteeing there are no backdoors. With increased encryption comes more demands from authorities for companies to unlock information. The best example may be the Apple-FBI case, which saw the FBI attempt to compel Apple to unlock a suspects iPhone. In the end this wasnt necessary. There has also been a simultaneous rise in companies like Cellebrite who offer digital forensic services to decrypt and extract data. Therefore, the best services use principles of privacy by design, that limit how much information the service provider themselves can collect or access. ProtonMail and Signal, for example, cannot access their users information, no matter how hard they try. If issued with a subpoena all they could provide is the date and time a user registered and the last date of connection. Partly as a result of this encryption war, some states are considering outlawing encryption entirely. Criminalising encryption has been discussed in the United States, Britain, Australia, and elsewhere. But not all hope is lost. There is a growing trend of tech companies fighting back and refusing to comply with surveillance orders. In 2014 Lavabit chose to shut down rather than turn over the private encryption key to a customers account. This customer was later revealed to be Edward Snowden. Microsoft has refused to hand over emails stored on its servers in Ireland, arguing that this would constitute an impermissible extraterritorial search by the FBI. And of course, Apple refused to disable inbuilt security features to crack an encrypted iPhone. This shows that service providers are aware of the importance of developing and maintaining consumer trust in matters of privacy. They are intimately, and commercially, invested in protecting it. Another way companies have attempted to gain trust is through transparency reports that detail the orders they have received from authorities. These can be found on company websites and are often reported in the media. Many of these reports feature a workaround to the restrictions on letting customers know if surveillance has been ordered. Companies simply include a statement that they have not been subject to a secret order. If this statement ever goes missing, customers know an order has been issued. This is known as a warrant canary. Several companies routinely issue transparency reports with warrant canaries. Apple and Reddit have set them off, implying that they have received secret orders to provide data. The same workaround may not be available in Australia however. Recent data-retention laws introduced journalist information warrants that made it an offence to disclose information about the existence (or non-existence) of the warrant, effectively outlawing warrant canaries for journalists in Australia. Encryption and transparency reports are some of the last protections that consumers have against both governments and the big tech companies we rely on. As more of our lives transition online, we will need them to protect civil rights and individual privacy. We cant afford for either to be weakened or outlawed. There are a couple of challenges under way. NSL statutes and gag orders are currently being challenged by the Electronic Frontier Foundation and members of the US Congress as unconstitutional. Watch this space.

3	How WiFi and Other EMFs Cause Biological HarmBy Kevin Samson Peer-reviewed scientific studies have drawn conclusions that should concern us all, but particularly for young children and pregnant women. Government agencies are even doing battle amongst themselves over outdated scientific information that still impacts current regulations. Yet another credible voice is now sounding the alarm about the pervasive dangers of Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) Professor Martin Pall, PhD professor of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Science at Washington State University, Pullman. His lecture can be viewed below, as well as a summary of his findings amid a flood of other scientific research. It is worth noting that Palls concerns have been echoed by others throughout the field of biochemistry and health science. Professor Pall states unequivocally in his lecture in Oslo, Norway: I think this is going to be one of the major issues in the next few years. Most people are not aware of this, and the people who are mostly know the old data and theres a lot of new [information] on this thats extremely, extremely important. Pall shows us how, with an increasing preponderance of so-called smart meters, smart phones and other microwave-emitting technologies and infrastructure, the health of the public is in danger; that our young are the most at risk and that urgent action to protect people is now required. Prof. Palls extensive research over recent decades into this issue shows that: Now is the time to become informed and keep your friends and family up to date on new research that shows the threats some of our new technologies pose to the more vulnerable among us. How many times do we need to hear the assurances of the scientific establishment that they have covered all bases in advising governments to create health guidelines that later turn out to be woefully inadequate? Additional source: I once saw a pie chart that said that 70% of studies NOT paid for by the telcom companies said there was a measurable negative effect of emfs and 30% said there wasnt AND another pie chart that said that 70% of the studies paid for by the telcom companies show no measurable effect and 30% of those did. Essentially the numbers were flipped depending on who backed the study, so I have to agree with you studies should be taken with a grain of salt along with who paid for it. Exactly and this chart showing 70% effect 30% was funded by people who will get profit from showing effects. I hold PhD in neurology/toxicology and by the same way as peopleshowing effect either by cherry picking or funding, I can prove you that water is bad and smoking healthy. You dont get studies with a grain of salt only really learn basic(in field you read studies) and always check methodology(many studies by purpose or mistake contain so many flaws that affects results, probably 70% of studies are flawed) and funding indeed. 
2	Miranda Lambert Makes THIS Huge Announcement Country star Miranda Lambert has been going through a hard time following her divorce from Blake Shelton. To add insult to injury, two weeks ago just before the CMAs, her newly-divorced husband announced that he was dating fellow judge on The Voice, Gwen Stefani. The announcement was obviously a devastating blow to Lambert, who could barely make it through her song Bathroom Sink without breaking down. Fortunately, it looks like things might be on the upswing for the singer. She is reportedly planning a special holiday trip with several of her girlfriends. Shes talking about doing something totally different and going on a trip with her girlfriends just to change it up, one source close to Lambert told reporters. She just wants to do whatever she can to avoid missing Blake. The source also claims that while Lambert isnt anxious to jump into another relationship at the moment, she wouldnt rule it out. What do you think? Do you support Lambert? 
2	Veteran And Instagram King Dan Bilzerian Absolutely Demolishes Hillary For Gun Views Dan Bilzerian, the King of Instagram is known for living life to the fullest. One of the things he loves most in life is his gun collection. On Sunday, Dan took a huge shot at Hillary Clinton after she said, gun makers should be held accountable for endangering Americans. Clearly, there are endless flaws in her logic, and Dan is the first one to point them out. What a dumb bitch, with her logic, alcohol car manufacturers should be accountable for DUI deaths, he tweeted, adding the hashtag: #JustSueEveryone. Criminals commit crimes. Its not the responsibility of the gun manufacturer to look out for them. Hillarys logic is about as bad as it can get. Do you think gun manufacturers should be free from liability? 
3	Euro Crisis DeepensJames Hall Monetary union is a textbook case of the dangers of allowing politics to trump economics. Germany is a completely different economy to Greece. Portugals economy is not a bit like that of the Netherlands. Italy was able to remain competitive in the pre-euro days only by regular devaluations of the lira. To yoke all these countries together in a one-size-fits-all single currency was an act of supreme folly. The predictable consequences that brings back to reality the debt of some euro-zone economies looks unsustainable is a factor that cannot be resolved by injecting more money into a debt-ridden system. Government debt looks more intractable, especially in light of the lacklustre growth and slide towards deflation that now seem entrenched. A recent analysis by Fitch, a rating agency, suggests that it will be very hard for any highly indebted euro-zone government to reduce its debt-to-GDP ratio by 20 percentage points over the next eight years, still less return it to its pre-crisis level. Governments need to run primary (ie, before interest payments) surpluses in order to pay off existing debt. No sane person believes that government debt will be reduced. The imaginary recovery only became a painful hardship for EU subjects. Not so for the elites who benefit from the single currency at the expense of their fellow taxpayers. This time around the circumstances may be different. Even a publication like the Business Insider touts the Economists viewpoint in The Future Of The Euro Could See Trouble This Week. Indeed, the political risks to the euro may be greater now than they were at the height of the euro crisis in 2011-12. What was striking then was that large majorities of ordinary voters preferred to stick with the single currency despite the austerity imposed by the conditions of their bail-outs, because they feared that any alternative would be even more painful. The EURO currency has a permanent flaw that no amount of tweaking can correct. Europe has always been a hot bed of national differences. Utopian dreams of uniting dissimilar cultures and very divergent economies under the fig leaf of a political union have always been a formula for failure. The German economy has emerged as the bankroll of last resort. Applying the same political pressure used throughout the post-war era to bully the Federal Republic of Germany into paying a disguised version of reparations to sustain the EU is coming to an end. Spiegel Online, the German publication provides an interesting article on Monetary Fallacy? Deep Divisions Emerge over ECB Quantitative Easing Plans. If the ECB does launch a buying program for government bonds, another problem arises. To avoid coming under the suspicion of trying to provide funding primarily to crisis-ridden nations, it will probably have to acquire the bonds of all euro-zone countries. For the ECB itself, the most likely approach is to simply base its bond-buying program on each countrys initial contribution to the ECB, known as the capital key. Its no surprise that the ranks of skeptics are also growing within the ECB. Bundesbank President Weidmann has long warned that the central bank cannot be allowed to become a sweeper for policymakers. Now German ECB Supervisory Board member Sabine Lautenschlger is coming to his defense, saying that the purchase of government bonds could only be a last resort in the event of a deflationary spiral, essentially the final ammunition of monetary policy. The critics of further quantitative easing measures also include the Executive Board members from Luxembourg, Austria, the Netherlands and Estonia. The toolbox of the EUs monetary gears is clashing with the speed of the declining health of commerce. Even cheap oil will not get the economic machine back on track. The psychology of deflationary expectations builds fear at a much higher pace than transactions in the cash register. Tourism has long deposited favorable sums in the EU economies. As long as the feeble international recovery crawls along, this may delay panic from internal downturn in domestic activity. The vulnerability of any reduction in foreign visits is an added component that does not affect most of the rest of the world in the same way. So what signs to watch as the New Year unfolds? Peter Spence in the Telegraph provides a list of Six triggers that could renew a eurozone crisis in 2015. Each of these national concerns that could spark a new run on the EU currency can only accelerate the deficits in governmental budgets and depress economic activity. The risks of a political implosion in the EU union among conflicting economic and social concerns are mounting. However, the entrenched elites who dominate global commerce control the political decisions. Unruly protests have a long tradition in Europe. As the velocity of money slows, the prospects of earning a livable existence sink. The socialist model has only been sustained by massive sovereign debt financing. When the European financial press reports on the warning signals of a significant crisis brewing, everyone should take notice. The relative foreign exchange conversion rate for the EURO may not concern most Americans. However, the long history of European political intrigue has always influenced global economic realities. The next chapter of financial crisis may well be written in Brussels. Original article archived here James Hall is a reformed, former political operative.

2	New Evidence That Obamas Birth Certificate Is 100% Fake In a recent radio interview, Sheriff Joe Arpaio confirmed that he is pretty well convinced that President Obamas birth certificate from 2011 is a fraudulent, fake document. Ive been in law enforcement for 55 years and I think I know a fraudulent, fake document, Arpaio commented on Aaron Klein Investigative Radio in New York. I am not a computer expert. I rely on my people. But Im pretty well convinced it is a fake document. Arpaio was also asked to comment on Donald Trumps statements about Mexican immigrants. I thought we have freedom of speech in this country, Arpaio commented simply. And hes running for president. He has the right to voice his opinion. Trump has also been vocal in his beliefs that Obama is lying about his true identity. Arpaio has taken it a step further, investigating Obamas legitimacy as president, which requires you to be a natural born citizen. He has hired Mike Zullo, an investigator, who plans to release universe-shattering details about the certificate. What do you think of these reports? Will Obama be taken down once and for all? 
1	Despite thoroughly enjoying the chocolate candy as she watched the film, local woman Jessica Kirby reverently paused from eating Buncha Crunch Thursday during an unsettling scene in American Sniper, sources confirmed. According to reports, Kirby refrained from chewing the bite-size pieces of milk chocolate and crisped rice throughout the tense moment when Bradley Coopers character trains his sniper rifle on a small Iraqi boy, respectfully holding the candy in the side of her mouth as the action unfolded on-screen. Sources went on to say, however, that Kirby kept her fingers close to the opening of the Buncha Crunch box in her lap in order to quickly retrieve another piece of chocolate when the camera cut to a less disturbing scene. At press time, Kirby was unsure if she could refrain from drinking her soda for the entirety of the main characters heartbreaking struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder. 
2	VIDEO: Marine Takes On 30 Cops, Disgusted By Obamas America He Came Back To Recently, a video showing an American Marine on a rant about Obamas new America has been making rounds on the internet. The video shows the Marine standing up to police offers, who are unnecessarily aggressive with a group of protestors. He claims that if the officers want to be tough they should go fight in Afghanistan, rather than taking their anger out on a group of U.S. citizens. What do you think of the Marines rant? Do you agree with him? 
2	BREAKING: Hit Man Admits To Murdering People On Command For The Clintons According to recent reports, Larry Nichols, a man who worked with the Clintons for nearly 10 years, made the shocking claim that he killed people on command for Bill and Hillary. On the Pete Santilli show, Nichols came forward and claimed that he actually murdered people at the direction of the Clintons. They sent me overseas to kill people for them and told me it was for the good of the Country. So when they asked me to do it for them in the States it felt no different, claimed Nichols. The real truth is, I did it for the money and I didnt give a shit about the women I beat and the men I murdered. The Clintons are bad people and I did bad things for them. I had to live with that all of these years and now I just dont care anymore who knows it. Nichols also claims that the Clintons employed a team of people to hide activities like drug-running and murder from the public. What do you think of the shocking claims? 
3	China Launches Internet Police, Governments Everywhere JealousBy James Holbrooks With regard to the Web, this is the logical next step in the Chinese governments crackdown on dissent. Since 2009, when the government banned the use of foreign-based platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, Chinese social media sites like Weibo and WeChat have exploded in popularity. Authorities have long had accounts on these sites with which fine, upstanding citizens could report on inappropriate content. Then, last year, in a move that signaled a deepening paranoia, the Chinese government enacted instant messaging regulations that required users to register their real names and seek permission to publish political news. Now, with the launch of an official Internet police force, it seems the state has decided to forego all pretense and start hunting. For those eager to tout China as a mortal enemy of the United Statesone on par with the likes of Russia and Iranthis type of news is welcome. It gives them something to point at, something to denounce. Because, clearly, only a tyrannical government would go to such lengths to stifle the free speech of its citizens. Indeed, the very fact that such measures are deemed necessary by the establishment is evidence of the Chinese peoples objection to their ruling class. Certainly, something as Orwellian as an Internet Police Inspection and Law Enforcement program could never exist in the United States. After all, the people of America and those of its Western allies enjoy the right to speak as the wish, on any subject they wish. Because, you know, democracy and freedom and junk. Least, thats what it says in the brochure. Just dont look at France, where in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo shooting authorities kicked off a hardcore crackdown on so-called hate speech. More than fifty were arrested in the first wave, one of whom being the controversial comedian Dieudonne, who has a reputation for pushing the boundaries of what passes for acceptable ideas on race and religion. Dieudonne, booked for being an apologist for terrorism, had made a statement on Facebook in which he seemingly showed support for one of the gunmen involved with a grocery store standoff that went down two days after the Charlie Hebdo attack. Apparently, the comedian is free to express his opinion only so long as that opinion falls in line with the orchestrated consensus. To many, the hypocrisy of it all was obvious. Turn away from Canada as well. Because if youre operating under the delusion that our neighbor to the north is a bastion of free speech, then you really wont want to hear about how the Harper government is threatening to use hate crime legislation to target those who would participate in the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction movement against Israel. Never mind that the act of boycotting is by definition an expression of disapprovalhence, a form of speech. The Canadian authorities dont like it and so theyre throwing a tantrum. Something else they dont like is for their scientists to talk about climate change. Last year it was revealed that the government actually forbids its meteorologists to speak publically on the issue. One could be forgiven for wondering what the big deal is. I mean, since the science has long been settled and all And whatever you do, dont take a good hard look at whats happening here in America. That could be lethal. In any case, you have better things to do than reading about how the FCC has granted itself vast regulatory powers over the Internetthe same Internet chairman Tom Wheeler referred to as the core of free expressionwith Net Neutrality. You probably wouldnt care to discover that the secretive Trans Pacific Partnership, already suspected of being little more than a power grab by corporations, has recently been revealed to be far less about trade and far more about control of the Web. But in the odd event that you do glance about and catch sight of something that sticks in your craw, be mindful of what you say about it. This politically correct culture of ours seldom jives with the notion of free speech. But really, why trouble yourself with all that ugliness? Caitlyn Jenner is talking about how she chose her name. The truth is, the Chinese are doing with their new Internet police force exactly what all governments would like to do. All of them fear dissension, and all of themgiven the chancewould snuff out those promoting it. This is becoming increasingly difficult, of course, and the reason is plain to see. The Internet has fundamentally altered the game, and governments have been left scrambling to stay on top of the rising political awareness taking shape across the planet. Some will undoubtedly use the news of Chinas cyber cops to foster the idea of American superiority. But then, China doesnt purport itself to be the worlds great shining light for freedom and justice. So at the end of the day, when everything is talliedwhos the real jerk? James Holbrooks is a writer and editor based in Texas.

3	Not a Conspiracy: FBIs Comey Has Been Covering the Clintons A**es for DecadesBy James Holbrooks The Clinton Foundations main offices are in New York, and the move to work with local prosecutors there is a departure from the FBIs previous, centralized investigations, which coordinated with the Department of Justice. A senior law enforcement official, who has intimate knowledge of FBI activity, told the Daily Caller that the involvement of the U.S. Attorneys Office in the Southern District of New York would be seen by agents as a positive development as prosecutors there are generally thought to be more aggressive than the career lawyers within the DOJ. New Yorks Southern District counts Wall Street within its jurisdiction, and the man who heads that office, Preet Bharara, has built a reputation on targeting big money players awash in fraud and corruption. Bharara has in the past gone after big banks such as Citibank and Bank of America and politicians, like State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver. Such efforts have garnered him much praise, ashighlighted by the Daily Mail: Bhararas pursuit of insider trading cases beginning in 2009 earned him a Time magazine cover and the title of top cop to Wall Street. The varied and continued data dumps associated with the Clinton email scandal, which have revealed, among other things, deception, coercion, and a pay-to-play scheme involving donors not to mention an organized attempt by the DNC to sabotage the presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders have severely hampered Hillary Clintons bid for the White House. After FBI Director James Comeys press conference on July 5, in which he recommended no charges be filed against Clinton despite her extremely careless use of a private email server, many were left wondering if the FBI was, in fact, actively protecting Clinton from prosecution. This theory would seem to be in question, however, now that the agency is going around the Justice Department and working with a federal attorney with a reputation for taking down corrupt heavyweights. Indeed, it is curious that the FBI would suddenly sidestep the DOJ a month after it effectively let Hillary Clinton off the hook. Were the FBIs hands tied by the Justice Department the first time around? Is the evidence of corruption within the Clinton shadow now simply too great to ignore? Are questions surrounding Hillarys health giving the establishment an opportunity to take out a divisive figurehead for good? Or is James Comeygoing rogue? This last question, if ever affirmed, would perhaps be most profound of all. Because Comeys ties to the Clintons go back decades, and as well see its a relationship that has had the now-director of the FBI acting as protector of the dynastic family time and time again. Comey came to some damning conclusions: Hillary Clinton was personally involved in mishandling documents and had ordered others to block investigators as they pursued their case. Worse, her behavior fit into a pattern of concealment. It could easily be assumed these words were written in the days following FBI Director James Comeysdecision in July not to recommend charges against Hillary Clinton. While claiming the FBI found no intent of wrongdoing, the director nonetheless delivered a scathingassessment of Clinton and her staffs use of a private email server to transmit classified information. But the words are, in actuality, from a TIMEarticle published back in March of this year. And they arent in reference to the email controversy. Theyre addressing a scandal from the 1990s many will likely be familiar with Whitewater. Much of the hardtruth in the case would become obscured once the Monica Lewinskydistraction was thrown into the mix, but at its heart the Whitewater investigation centered on failed real estate investments by Bill and Hillary Clinton and their associates. And because the subject is now so heavily associated with Bill, a blue dress and a cigar, most would be shocked to discover just how close Hillary came to having charges brought against her during the Whitewater inquiry to the point where a draft for her indictment had been written. From a July 9article in the Washington Post: As in the email controversy of today, Clintons honesty was a central question facing investigators in 1998 as they weighed whether what they saw as shifting stories from Clinton amounted to an attempt to cover up misconduct. And a young James Comey was one of those investigators. Writes TIME: Looking to get back into government after a stint in private practice, Comey signed on as deputy special counsel to the Senate Whitewater Committee. Following law school, Comey had served as clerk for a federal judge before joining the U.S. Attorneys Office of the Southern District of New York yes, the same office Preet Bharara is, at the urging of Comeys FBI, now using to go after Clinton as a prosecutor in 1987. As well see, Comeys association with the Southern District will prove highly beneficial to the Clintons. In the end, and not at all surprisingly, no charges were brought against then-President Bill Clinton and his wife for their involvement in the Whitewater affair. Several of their associates were convicted, however, of crimes including fraud, tax evasion, and embezzlement. Fortunately at least for a handful Slick Willy managed to slide them apardon in the last hours of his presidency. And the issue of pardons brings us to the next chapter in the Clinton-Comey relationship. Marc Rich was a pioneering oilmogul in the 70s and 80s who, as a boy, escaped the wrath of the Nazis by fleeing Belgium with his family and relocating to the United States. After years in Missouri, the family ended up living in New York, where Rich would learn the ropes of the international commodities game. He would go on to become the most successful and notorious businessman and trader of his time. He was so dominant in his field, in fact, that peers came to call him the King of Oil. Rich was also, according to the federal government of the United States, a criminal who had no qualms about dealing with Americas enemies. Wrote Reuters in 2013 upon Richsdeath at 78: To his critics he was a white-collar criminal, a serial sanctions breaker, whom they accused of building a fortune trading with revolutionary Iran, Muammar Gaddafis Libya, apartheid-era South Africa, Nicolae Ceausescus Romania, Fidel Castros Cuba and Augusto Pinochets Chile. In 1983, Rich wasindicted on 65 counts of, among other things, tax evasion and racketeering. Facing a potential life sentence in prison, Rich fled to Switzerland. He would remain on the FBIs Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list for years. Miraculously, however, Rich was pardoned by President Bill Clinton in 2001, on his last day in office yes, the same day he pardoned his old Whitewater associates. Described by a New York Timeseditorial as a shocking abuse of presidential power, the pardon is far less miraculous, though, when considering the multifacetedcampaign that went into securing it. Among the more glaringly questionable details surrounding the pardon are the fact that Richs ex-wife haddonated $450,000 to the Clinton Presidential Library as well as thousands more to Bills defense fund during the Whitewater hearings and the allegations that then-Deputy Attorney General Eric Holderfacilitated the pardon using underhanded methods in exchange for promises of becoming Attorney General in an Al Gore administration. The Justice Department immediately set up an inquiry to look into the Clinton pardons, which numbered 176 in total. Originally, U.S. Attorney for you guessed it the Southern District of New York, Mary Jo White, had been appointed to lead the investigation. White stepped down before the conclusion of the inquiry, however, and was replaced rather conveniently by then-U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia James Comey. As it happens, Comey was one the prosecutors whodhelped successfully convict Marc Rich fifteen years before. So it was with intimate knowledge of Richs criminality that Comey would latertell Congress how stunned he was by the pardon of the oil magnate. Despite this not to mention the overwhelming evidence of bribery and shady dealings regarding the Clinton pardons Comey nonethelessdetermined in 2002 that no criminal wrongdoing by the Clintons had occurred. In February of 2002, former United States diplomat, Joseph C. Wilson, was sent on a CIA-funded trip to Niger to investigate claims that Saddam Hussein had attempted to purchase yellowcake uranium. Upon returning to Washington, D.C., Wilson reported to the CIA that there was little evidence that such a transaction took place. Not surprisingly, Wilson was taken aback upon hearing President Bushsay in the 2003 State of the Union Address that the British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa. In response, Wilson wrote anop-ed for the New York Times in July of 2003, titled What I Didnt Find in Africa. From that article: Based on my experience with the administration in the months leading up to the war, I have little choice but to conclude that some of the intelligence related to Iraqs nuclear weapons program was twisted to exaggerate the Iraqi threat. A week after Wilsons article was published, conservative columnist Robert Novak ran apiece outing Wilsons wife, Valerie Plame, as a CIA operative and the person who recommended Wilson for the Niger assignment. Novak cited two senior Bush administration staffers as sources of the leak. It would later be revealed that those sources were State Department official Richard Armitage, acting as the primary, and Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, who confirmed. There was muchspeculation at the time that the Bush officials went rogue as revenge for Wilsons op-ed in which he contradicted the presidents claims. Within months of Novaks article, the Justice Department had opened an investigation as to who had blown Valerie Plames cover. To avoid the appearance of partiality, Attorney General John Ashcroftrecused himself from the case which paved the way for the number two man, James Comey, to step into the top spot. As a Bush appointee, Comey also desired seemingly to avoid the appearance of bias. So, amid calls for an independent investigation, Comey appointed a federal attorney out of Chicago, Patrick Fitzgerald, to handle the affair. Fitzgerald, by the way, was a good friend of Comeys andgodfather to one of his children. Some viewed the appointment as troubling, but the case proceeded. In the end, no one was charged for the leak, itself. Vice President Dick Cheneys former Chief of Staff, I. Lewis Scooter Libby, however, who testified during the trial, was convicted of perjury and obstruction. Libby, whod been made privy to Plames role as a CIA operative by the vice president prior to Novaks article being published, isthought by another witness in the case, reporter Judith Miller, to have fallen on his sword to protect Cheney. The whole affair came to be known as Plamegate. From a 2007 NBCreport, following Libbys conviction: The trial revealed that top members of the administration were eager to discredit Plames husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who accused the administration of doctoring prewar intelligence on Iraq. Plame and her husband who, incidentally, was a Special Assistant to President Bill Clinton in the 90s have been Clinton supporters for nearly two decades. In an April 2015op-ed the couple co-authored for USA Today, Plame and Wilson wrote: We have known Hillary Clinton both professionally and personally for nearly 20 years, dating back to before President Bill Clintons first trip to Africa in 1998 a trip they both acknowledge changed their lives, and gave considerable meaning to their post-White House years and to the activities of the Clinton Foundation. They go on to state that, in the midst of the scandal, Hillary reached out to us. Her counsel during that tumultuous period was as timely as it was wise. A Daily Callerarticle published in January of this year further highlighted the close ties between the Clintons and Wilson, who, since leaving political life, has worked as an advisor to development groups in Africa. Citing ongoing email dumps, the article states: One of Hillary Clintons most frequent favor-seekers when she was secretary of state was former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, a longtime Clinton friend, an endorser of Clintons 2008 presidential campaign, and an Africa expert with deep business ties to the continent. The article goes on to explain that, in most of the cases, Wilsons requests were met which amounted to considerable paydays for the former Bill Clinton assistant. Given these facts, one could be forgiven for finding it odd that James Comey whod by then proven himself thoroughly dependable in Clinton-related matters ended up being the man in charge of the Plamegate investigation. Odder still, one might think, that the godfather of one of Comeys children was appointed by Comey himself to conduct the trial. Remember, the theory at the time was that the Republican establishment was going after Joseph Wilson because he dared to challenge the word of President Bush. It was retaliation. So its not outside the realm of possibility that the staunchly Democratic Clintons in an equally retaliatory measure would protect their friend Wilson, and activate the trusted James Comey to do it. And it worked. Plamegate saw Vice President Dick Cheney lose his chief of staff and longtime ally, Scooter Libby. In July of 2004, the newsbroke that the Justice Department was investigating former Clinton aide Sandy Berger over allegations he removed and evendestroyed classified material from the National Archives while acting as the Clinton administrations hand-selected official in charge of reviewing documents for the independent commission on 9/11. Berger, who served as national security advisor to Bill Clinton for all of the presidents second term, was reportedly observed acting in a secretive and highly suspicious manner while in the archives.Wrote CNN in 2004: Law enforcement sources said archive staff members told FBI agents they saw Berger placing items in his jacket and pants, and one archive staffer told agents that Berger also placed something in his socks. The investigation had actually been going on since October of the previous year, but that fact wasnt made public until days before the commission was set to release its final report prompting many tospeculate the move was political in nature, a way for the Bush administration to avert attention away from the commissions inevitably damning conclusions. The timing of this leak suggests that the White House is more concerned about protecting its political hide than hearing what the commission has to say about strengthening our security, the campaign of then-presidential hopeful John Kerry said in a statement. But others had more serious concerns. Some wereasking if Berger, the longtime Clinton loyalist, had been sent into the archives not to prevent damaging information about 9/11 from reaching the commission, but rather, to destroy material that could potentially be harmful to the Clinton dynasty down the road. Such as, say, Hillary Clintons attempts at the Oval Office. In any case, Berger was floated a sweetheartdeal by the Justice Department in 2005. For charges that couldve seen him behind bars, Berger was fined $50,000 andforced to give up his security clearance for three years. The Deputy Attorney General in charge of that case? James Comey. As a general matter, we take issues of classified information very seriously, Comeytold reporters in 2004. Just not so seriously as his findings in the current email scandal prove when they involve a Clinton. Interestingly, Berger wasnamed an advisor to Hillary in her failed 2008 bid for the White House a move that, quite understandably, raised a considerable number of eyebrows at the time. Additionally, a State Department email dump in 2015revealed that Berger wasadvising then-Secretary of State Clinton albeit far more secretly as recently as 2009. With data dumps coming fast and furious, and with a new investigation underway, theres no telling what will be revealed about Hillary Clinton, her network of associates, or the Clinton Foundation in the days ahead. But if the past is any indicator, none of it will be good. And theres so much more than emails to consider. The information presented here highlights a pattern of protection given to a political behemoth by a strategically-placed operative. But this is merely one facet of a much larger, and much older, system at play. Within the last two weeks alone, Underground Reporter has written on both the recent spike in the so-called Clinton body count and the revelation that murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich may very well be the source behind WikiLeaks DNC leak a suggestion made by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange that had one Clinton strategist immediatelycalling for his death. Consider, for instance, that Cheryl Mills, who was Hillary Clintons Chief of Staff at the State Department and who is now under scrutiny for working for the Clinton Foundation, which shes currently on theboard of, while on State Department time attempted to destroy Clinton-related emails back in 2015. A judge had to issue an order to prevent her from doing so. Consider that Mills at one time worked for the law firm of Hogan Hartson, a New York partner of which prepared tax returns for the Clintons. The firm also did patent work for the software company that created email encryption for the very server at the heart of the Clinton email scandal. Interestingly, Sandy Berger the Clinton bag man who destroyed classified documents in the National Archives worked for years at Hogan Hartson as well. Consider also that United States Attorney General Loretta Lynch who, as it was recentlyrevealed, refused to sanction an investigation into the Clinton Foundation even after three separate FBI field offices made requests also worked at Hogan Hartson. Consider further that the law firm of Hogan Hartson, which appears to be connected to the Clintons at every turn, was also one of Hillarysbiggest donors in the legal industry during her first bid for the White House. Consider that it was Lynch, then the U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of the New York, who signed off a sweetheartdeal for banking giant HSBC, which allowed it to skate with a paltry fine in a massive money-launderingcase. And while youre at it, consider that the Clinton Foundation has received over $81 million in donations from HSBC clients. And consider that months after the HSBC deal was struck by Loretta Lynch, James Comey joined the controversialbanks board of directors. He would remain there until his appointment as Director of the FBI in 2013 just in time to prepare for the hurricane that would be the Clinton email scandal. Consider all these connections and consider those we cant yet see. The FBIs decision to initiate an investigation into the Clinton Foundation raises many questions, to be sure. But at this point, all the public can really do is speculate. There is, however, one conclusion that can be definitively made. With the FBI led by a man who has continuously protected the Clintons for nearly two decades going around the DOJ and opening a criminal probe spearheaded by a man with a reputation for being tough on corrupt elites into the Clinton Foundation, something, however ambiguous it might be at the moment, has unquestionably changed.

1	The 296 members of the Saturday Night Live studio audience were moved to tears in the show's closing minutes Saturday by soulful, sentimental piano music. 'After 90 minutes of live sketch comedy from the likes of Ana Gasteyer and Tim Meadows, that piano music set just the right mood of reflection and closure,' audience member Liz Nokes said. 'Without words, it conveyed just how much we'd been through together and captured the bittersweet feeling that comes from knowing that the good times and laughter have come to a close until next week.' The teary-eyed audience swayed along with the cast, guest host Joshua Jackson, and musical guest 'N Sync, smiling wistfully and waving as they bid farewell to yet another successful episode. 
3	Recent Turkey-Syria Border Clashes A Bad Omen Of Invasion?By Brandon Turbeville Some are now wondering if the incident is an omen of a coming attack on Syrias northern region. The Turkish military claims that a Turkish border unit was attacked by 5 ISIS fighters armed with a rocket launcher and Kalishnikovs. The Turkish army unit reported that it had seized the weapons, killed one of the fighters, and destroyed three vehicles. The Daesh [Isis] terrorist who opened fire on our staff was killed and his ammunition was seized. [] Three vehicles belonging to the Daesh terrorists have been severely damaged in a fire attack, the Turkish army statement said. The Turkish Anadolu News Agency reported that one Turkish solider had been killed in the attack. Turkish media also reported that F-16 fighter jets were being scrambled to the Turkish border in response to the incident. The clashes come soon after Turkey announced a crackdown on ISIS across the country as well as after an ISIS bombing of a Kurdish demonstration. The PKK responded by taking the lives of two Kurdish policemen, threatening to throw the region back into the chaos it suffered years ago. Still, such a military response is concerning given the fact that Turkey has been rumored to be considering an attack on Syria for some time and that these plans were moving ahead over the last few months. It was reported by the Huffington Post on April 12, 2015 that the Turks and the Saudis are now in high level talks regarding an agreement to form a military alliance to remove Bashar al-Assad from power in Syria. The talks are being mediated by Qatar and have been known for quite some time. In fact, they have been taking place since at least February of this year. When the meetings were finally made public to Western audiences, Barack Obama chimed in to support the plans by stating that How we get there obviously is a source of extraordinary challenge, and we shared ideas in terms of how that can be accomplished. Sources cited by the Huffington Post suggested that, if the Turkey-Saudi Arabia talks go well, the two countries would move forward with their plans regardless of American support, military or otherwise. As Grim, Jones, and Schulberg wrote, Saudi Arabia recently demonstrated its willingness to intervene militarily in the region by leading a coalition of Arab nations in launching airstrikes against the Shia Houthi rebels in Yemen. While the U.S. did not participate directly, American officials said the U.S. provided logistical and intelligence support to the mission. There have been previous indications that Turkey and Saudi Arabia were discussing a cooperative effort in Syria. On March 2, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Saudi Arabias King Salman bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud Salman, met in the Saudi capital of Riyadh, where they announced an agreement to jointly boost aid to the Syrian opposition and broaden overall cooperation on defense and security matters. The latest news of high-level talks, however, is the first indication of direct military participation against Assad by either country. Turkey and Saudi Arabia have traditionally found themselves at odds, despite both cooperating with their allies in NATO and the US. This tendency to work together closer and openly, however, has surprised many. As Andrew Korybko writes, Grim, Jones, and Schulberg point out that Turkey has recently taken more open steps indicating that it is preparing to deploy ground troops in Syria. They write that, Osman Taney Koruturk, the main representative of the leading Turkish opposition Republican Peoples Party (CHP) on Turkeys foreign affairs committee, is concerned that Turkish ground troops could soon be in Syria. He and other opposition members on the committee expressed this concern during official talks over the deal, and later in a press conference after it was signed by the committee on March 2, according to documents obtained by The WorldPost. The deal was then sent to the Parliament and Erdogan to be signed. At the very least, there has been a clear intensification of death squad activity in Northern Syria in the areas bordering Turkey. This is obviously because of Turkish assistance, training, arming, and funneling of jihadists into Syria through their borders. It is also because the recent strengthening of the alliance between Turkey and Saudi Arabia has resulted in even further alliances between the two interlopers proxy forces who often fought separately from one another due to minor differences in religious ideology (at the bottom levels of their fighting forces). As Korbyko points out, The plans to invade Syria directly are no doubt known by the Syrian government. After all, it was an issue that was addressed by Permanent Syrian Representative to the UN Bashar al Jaafari, when he stated on May 4, 2015 that Any serious attempt to occupy Aleppo will be met with open war with the party that it would resort to whether Turkey or any other. Indeed, in the last several weeks, geopolitical alliances and talks have begun to coalesce so as to indicate that such an attack is not only possible but probable in the near future. After all, the US and NATO have attempted to gin up support for a direct assault on Syria since early on in the crisis when it became apparent that proxy armies of terrorists alone were not going to accomplish regime change. The plans at least from Turkeys side of the fence appear to be twofold. First, the plan to attack Syria has been part of the NATO agenda from the moment the death squads were routed by Assads forces and Turkey has always been a major playing in this regard. Secondly, Prime Minister Recep Erdoans own governing party has been suffering under a number of scandals, criticisms, and failures over the last several months and, as is the case in every country, a foreign war is more than helpful in diverting the attention of the local population away from domestic concerns. While certainly not the cause, plunging support from the Turkish public is certainly a stick used to prod Erdoan into further action. Interestingly enough, Hurriyet Daily News (a Turkish news agency) recently reported that Turkey has now agreed to allow the United States to use the Incirlik Air Base located in Ankara for alleged strikes against ISIS. This move in itself has also served to fuel suspicion that NATO is preparing for an attack on Syria for the purposes of destroying the secular government of Assad or, at the very least, establishing a Buffer Zone. Turkey is becoming increasingly destabilized due to lack of support for the Islamist and geopolitically foolish Erdogans policies as well as an emboldened Kurdish community becoming inspired by more autonomous Kurds in Iraq and Syria while simultaneously being repressed at home.Indeed, the Turkish government appears more and more nervous about the Kurds in its eastern provinces and the possibility that war could break out once again. A Buffer Zone in northern Syria would not only serve to weaken the Assad government but it would also help curb the Kurdish problem (from the point of view of the Turkish government) and the growing Kurdish desire for autonomy. It remains to be seen how far Turkey will take its latest military operation. However, it is important to remember that, in March, 2014, a YouTube video was released containing the audio of Turkish intelligence Chief Hakan Fidan, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, and Deputy Chief of Military Staff Yasar Guler as well as other top Turkish officials discussing a possible attack on Syria. The operation, if implemented, would have been publicly predicated on the basis of securing the tomb of Suleyman Shah. Two weeks prior to the release of the YouTube video, the Turkish government had publicly threatened to respond to any attack on the tomb after a confrontation between fanatical death squads ISIL and other related rebel groups in the area. The audio recording in the leaked video presents Foreign Ministry Under Secretary Feridun Sinirlioglu as stating An operation against ISIL has international legitimacy. We will define it as al Qaeda. There are no issues on the al Qaeda framework. When it comes to the Suleyman Shah tomb, its about the protection of national soil. Sinirlioglu was referring to the fact that Turkey would be able to invade Syria under the pretext of fighting ISIS and protecting Turkish soil. Soon after the comments were made, Turkey did indeed launch an incursion into Syrian territory on the basis of protecting the tomb from al-Qaeda militants. Whether or not this military operation is merely an isolated cross-border incident or whether it will turn into a full scale invasion remains to be seen. Regardless, it does not bode well as an omen.

1	China's 1.2 billion citizens observed a state police-enforced mourning of 92-year-old premier Deng Xiaoping last week. 'Our great leader is gone,' said Wuhan resident Xiang Hu as a bayonet was held to his throat by a member of the government's elite military guard. Deng's funeral procession through the streets of Beijing was attended by over one million people from as far as 900 miles away, all of whom were forcibly bused in by the state. A 30-day period of national mourning has been declared, during which anyone found not weeping openly will be executed. 
2	Sadie Robertson Taking Heat After Taking Massive Stand For Christ Over the past few years, 18-year-old Sadie Robertson has garnered national attention as an excellent role model for young girls throughout the country. Time and time again, Robertson proves that she is not the average reality star. During a recent interview, Sadie expressed that the fame that followed Dancing With The Stars has given her a platform to express her own personal faith to viewers. For my whole life, Ive kind of been shadowing what my family says, Sadie commented. Theyll say something about my faith and I agree. But now, its time for me to say, This is who I am as well. Im not hiding behind ym family anymore. Im sharing my faith by myself, which has helped me to be more bold and more confident saying things. Its the same God; its the same faith. Its just my opportunity to share it in my words. And I have enjoyed it. Its been good for me and Ive grown a lot from it. In other interviews, Sadie opened up about her relationships and her intentions to save herself for marriage. She also claims that she strives to date people who have the same values that she does. I dont really date guys who dont feel the same way, she commented. Its going to be harder if we went into a relationship having different opinions about that. You never know who youre going to end up with. Who knows if my boyfriend will be my husband? Ive always thought that I would marry young, but it just depends on if I have the right guy with me. What do you think? Do you support Sadie Robertson? Is this the type of reality star we need our nations youth looking up to?

3	12 Things That Just Happened That Show The Next Wave Of The Economic Collapse Is Almost HereMichael Snyder The truth is that the financial crash of 2008 was just the first wave of our economic troubles. We have not even come close to recovering from that wave, and the next wave of the economic collapse is rapidly approaching. Our economy is like a giant sand castle that has been built on a foundation of debt and toilet paper currency. As each wave of the crisis hits us, the solutions that our leaders will present to us will involve even more debt and even more money printing. And each time, those solutions will only make our problems even worse. Right now, events are unfolding in Europe and in the United States that are pushing us toward the next major crisis moment. I sincerely hope that we have some more time before the next crisis overwhelms us, but as you will see, time is rapidly running out. The following are 12 things that just happened that show the next wave of the economic collapse is almost here #1 According to TrimTabs CEO Charles Biderman, corporate insider purchases of stock have hit an all-time low, and the ratio of corporate insider selling to corporate insider buying has now reached an astounding 50 to 1. #3 In a stunning move, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder says that he will appoint an emergency financial manager to take care of Detroits financial affairs If this does not work, Detroit will almost certainly have to declare bankruptcy. If that happens, it will be the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history. #4 On Friday it was announced that the unemployment rate in Italy had risen to 11.7 percent. That was a huge jump from 11.3 percent the previous month, and Italy now has the highest unemployment rate that it has experienced in 21 years. #5 The youth unemployment rate in Italy has risen to a new all-time record high of 38.7 percent. #6 On Friday it was announced that the unemployment rate in the eurozone as a whole had just hit a brand new record high of 11.9 percent. #7 On Friday it was announced that the unemployment rate in Greece has now reached 27 percent, and it is being projected that it will reach30 percent by the end of the year. #8 The youth unemployment rate in Greece is now an almost unbelievable 59.4 percent. #9 On Saturday, hundreds of thousands of protesters filled the streets of Lisbon and other Portuguese cities to protest the austerity measures that are being imposed upon them. It was reportedly the largest protest in the history of Portugal. #10 According to Goldman Sachs, bank deposits declined all over Europe during the month of January. #11 Over the weekend, the deputy governor of Chinas central bank declared that China is prepared for a currency war #12 Italy is an economic basket case at this point, and the political gridlock in Italy is certainly not helping matters. Former comedian Beppe Grillos party could potentially tip the balance of power one way or the other in Italy, and over the weekend he made some comments that are really shaking things up over in Europe. For one thing, he is suggesting that Italy should hold a referendum on the euro In addition, Grillo is also suggesting that Italys debt has gotten so large that renegotiation is the only option And of course government debt has taken center stage in the United States as well. The sequester cuts have now gone into effect, and they will definitely have an effect on the U.S. economy. Of course that effect will not be nearly as dramatic as many Democrats are suggesting, but without a doubt those cuts will cause the U.S. economy to slow down a bit. And of course the U.S. economy has already been showing plenty of signs of slowing down lately. If you doubt this, please see my previous article entitled Consumer Spending Drought: 16 Signs That The Middle Class Is Running Out Of Money. So what comes next? Well, everyone should keep watching Europe very closely, and it will also be important to keep an eye on Wall Street. There are a whole bunch of indications that the stock market is at or near a peak. For example, just check out what one prominent stock market analyst recently had to say Sadly, most people will continue to deny that anything is wrong until it is far too late. Time is running out, and I hope that you are getting ready. So what do you think? How much time do you believe that we have left before the next wave of the economic collapse strikes?

2	Get Ready To Crack Your Piggy Banks, This One Penny Could Be Worth More Than $500,000 Pennies have become increasing worthless in our society. A penny is worth one cent, but today nothing cost that little. A cent can literally get you nowhere in todays world. The biggest hit that the penny took was the advancement of digital credit. Digital money has almost made paper money obsolete. So, it only makes sense that the penny is struggling to stay alive. Despite these setbacks, one penny has stood the test of time. This penny is a collectors item that could be worth upwards of 1 million dollars. The coin was made in 1943. The penny was accidentally made out of copper instead of the cheaper mix of steel and other metals. The penny is considered one of the most rare coins in the United States. If you get your hands on one make sure it is real. I will be searching through all of my coins to find the 1943-penny. If I could find that penny then all of my debts would be paid off. I would retire to the Bahamas, and then start my own surfboard shop. To come upon a million dollars would be the greatest news ever. I never collected coins, but may start to do so now. Will you be checking your pennies? 
3	Pesticide Exposure Linked to Autism Spectrum DisorderHeather Callaghan Many agricultural pesticides are, after all, neurotoxic thats how they work on eradicating the intended pest. While regulatory and corporate entities continue to espouse their safety, and while farmers are encouraged to wear protective gear how are levels of chemical plume to be regulated for individuals who live right near application sites? What about the effects on the developing fetus? UC Davis researchers in tandem with MIND Institute found a connection between pregnant women living in close proximity of California pesticide applications and later diagnoses of ASD and other developmental delays. The large, multi-site California-based study, published in Environmental Health Perspectives, examined associations between specific classes of pesticides like organophosphates, pyrethroids and carbamates that were applied during the study participants pregnancies and later diagnoses of autism and developmental delay in their offspring. The associations were stronger when the exposures occurred during the second and third trimesters of the womens pregnancies. Researchers focused on areas with the heaviest pesticide applications Sacramento Valley, Central Valley and the greater San Francisco Bay Area. They examined commercial pesticide application using the California Pesticide Use Report and linked the data to the residential addresses of approximately 1,000 participants in the Northern California-based Childhood Risk of Autism from Genetics and the Environment (CHARGE) Study. The study includes families with children between 2 and 5 diagnosed with autism or developmental delay or with typical development. For the study, researchers used questionnaires to obtain study participants residential addresses during the pre-conception and pregnancy periods. The addresses then were overlaid on maps with the locations of agricultural chemical application sites based on the pesticide-use reports to determine residential proximity. The study also examined which participants were exposed to which agricultural chemicals. Principal investigator Irva Hertz-Picciotto said: In the duration of this study, it was determined that one-third of CHARGE Study participants lived within one mile of commercial pesticide application sites. The ASD associations were greater for mothers living closer to application sites, and lessened the farther away they lived. Organophosphates applied during the full course of pregnancy signaled greater risk of a childs ASD diagnosis especially for chlorpyrifos applications in the second trimester; Pyrethroids were moderately associated with autism spectrum disorder immediately before conception and in the third trimester; and Carbamates applied during pregnancy were associated with developmental delay. They found that because the pesticides are neurotoxic, in utero exposures during early development could distort the complex processes of structural development and neuronal signaling, producing alterations to the excitation and inhibition mechanisms that govern mood, learning, social interactions and behavior keynotes of ASD and those associated with ADHD symptomology. Hertz-Picciotto added: She notes the difficulty in reducing this type of risk, wishing for the open dialogue of ASD-risk and chemical exposures at both the societal and individual level, and emphasizing pre-natal nutrition. Her name appears on a lot of similar studies perhaps this is what prompted her to say that she herself would not want her family to live near where pesticides are applied.

1	Just three weeks before its highly anticipated on-field performance at the Super Bowl XLIV halftime show, the popular CBS crime drama CSI is gearing up for what network executives are promising will be a 'thrilling, high-tech whodunit on fourth and inches.' Cast members rehearse a body identification scene which will occur 40 minutes into the halftime spectacle. According to CBS sources, the hour-long live performance on the Dolphin Stadium 50-yard line will feature the CSI cast and crew moving briskly through a tightly plotted narrative involving the investigation of several grisly murders in the greater Las Vegas area. 'Every performer dreams of playing the Super Bowl halftime show, so I can't begin to tell you how excited we are,' CSI creator/producer Anthony Zuiker said. 'When you look at the legends who've played it in the pastfrom Prince to Michael Jackson to Bruce Springsteenit's incredible to think that CSI will soon be able to give screaming football fans a great show packed with all the taut, forensics-based intrigue they crave.' Added Zuiker, 'And I don't want to give away too much, but let's just say things might get a little sticky for Sanders down in the lab.' An estimated $20 million has already been spent on the CSI halftime show, with much of the budget reportedly going toward the opening set piece, in which cast members Laurence Fishburne and Liz Vassey enter the stands to examine a young child's decomposing corpse in the fourth row. While details of the show are a closely guarded secret, inside sources maintained that football fans would be treated to the same exciting twists and turns they have come to expect from the hit CBS drama, including the discovery of a semen stain just feet from the goal line that will leave viewers 'on the edge of their seats.' 'Obviously, the format presents some technical challenges for us,' said CBS Super Bowl producer Lance Barrow. 'This particular episode of CSI involves about 19 different locations, so it's going to take some effort, for instance, to transition smoothly between the victim's mother's dining room and the central booking station. But that's what the giant revolving set in the middle of the field is for.' Added Barrow, 'The driving scenes might also be a little tricky, but we'll have a team of extras dressed as cops out there who will help clear a path in the crowd to make way for the cars.' Dolphin Stadium officials confirmed that they had hired extra grounds crew for what will likely be a heavy clean-up task. At least two dozen workers will be in charge of managing a 40-foot-long replica of a character's pancreas, which will spill simulated blood and digestive enzymes all over the field when punctured with a 30-foot-long scalpel prop. CBS sources also revealed that CSI's performance would be interspersed with a number of showstopping live advertisements, including promos for upcoming episodes of other CBS seriesamong them Numb3rs and The Big Bang Theoryperformed onstage by the casts of those shows. While some have wondered whether the tense, hour-long narrative played out live in the middle of Super Bowl Sunday might take away from the actual football game, the network is assuring pigskin fans that they will not be disappointed. 'We're pulling out all the stops,' CBS president and CEO Les Moonves said. 'Tons of impenetrable forensic jargon; a graphic, four-minute conversation about a victim's rectal cavity; plus a special guest appearance from a certain former Nash Bridges star.' Added Moonves, 'Now, if that doesn't say 'Super Bowl XLIV,' then I don't know what does.'

3	Florida Voters Approve Medical Marijuana, Reject Federal ProhibitionBy Mike Maharrey With passage of Amendment 2, qualifying patients in Florida will be able to access marijuana for medical use. With 7.5 millions votes counted, of the precincts reporting, approval of the measure has been declared the winner by a 71-29 margin. Amendment 2 would alters Florida state constitution to permit the usage of medical marijuana for patients suffering from cancer, epilepsy, glaucoma, positive status for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Crohns disease, Parkinsons disease, multiple sclerosis, or other debilitating medical conditions of the same kind or class as or comparable to those enumerated, and for which a physician believes that the medical use of marijuana would likely outweigh the potential health risks for a patient. Floridawas one of eight states with measures on the ballot to to legalize marijuana for either for medical or general adult use today. This is the largest number of states that have considered nullifying marijuana prohibition in a single election cycle. Legalization of medical marijuana in Floridaremoves one major layer of laws prohibiting the possession and use of marijuana. While Floridalaw will not alter federal law, it takes a step toward nullifying the federal ban in practice and effect. FBI statistics show that law enforcement makes approximately 99 of 100 marijuana arrests under state, not federal law. By easing state prohibition, Floridaessentially sweeps away part of the basis for 99 percent of marijuana arrests. Of course, the federal government lacks any constitutional authority to ban or regulate marijuana within the borders of a state, despite the opinion of the politically connected lawyers on the Supreme Court. If you doubt this, ask yourself why it took a constitutional amendment to institute federal alcohol prohibition. Furthermore, figures indicate it would take 40 percent of the DEAs yearly-budget just to investigate and raid all of the dispensaries in Los Angeles a single city in a single state. That doesnt include the cost of prosecution. The lesson? The feds lack the resources to enforce marijuana prohibition without state assistance. Florida, as the first state in the Southeast to do so,joins a growing number of states simply ignoring federal prohibition. Colorado, Washington state, Oregon and Alaska have all legalized both recreational and medical marijuana, and more than two-dozen states now allow cannabis for medical use. With half the country legalizing marijuana, the feds find themselves in a position where they simply cant enforce prohibition any more. The feds need state cooperation to fight the drug war, and that has rapidly evaporated in the last few years with state legalization, practically nullifying the ban. The lesson here is pretty straight forward. When enough people say, No! to the federal government, and enough states pass laws backing those people up, theres not much the feds can do to shove their so-called laws, regulations or mandates down our throats, Tenth Amendment Center founder and executive director Michael Boldin said.

2	Chelsea Gets Smeared After Trying To Publicly Take On Donald Trump According to some shocking new reports, Hillary Clinton gave her daughter Chelsea a $900,000 annual salary to run their family charity the Clinton Foundation, using donated money. During a recent segment on Chelsea Handlers show, Handler asked Chelsea, How does it make you feel when you hear her opponent say things like Crooked Hillary and the things he says about your mom? What does that do to you? Its important to take serious criticism from serious people seriously, and important to take unserious criticism from unserious people unseriously, Chelsea responded. For me, her opponent falls quite firmly in the second camp. I remember even as a little kid in Arkansas, shed be criticized for being too serious or not feminine enough; or how dare she be tackling education reform instead of just being a traditional first lady of Arkansas, Chelsea commented. The person that I know is funny and carefree and hilarious, Chelsea argued. Thats when the issue of the Clinton Foundation closing down was raised. Watch how she responded below. 
3	Let the War Games Begin: US and Israel Practice Attacking IranSusanne Posel, Contributor Netanyahu said: We expect to work together with the new administration on the basis of our peace treaty. I believe that peace is important to Israel. I believe that peace is important to Egypt. I believe that peace is a vital interest for both countries and I believe that peace is the foundation of stability in our region. Morsi has been speaking with Iran, one of Israels enemies, claiming to want to forge closer relations [to] create a balance of pressure in the region, and this is part of my program. In March of this year, the Obama administration ensured the permanency of the Israeli agenda here in the US by the House passage of the United States Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act of 2012 (USIESC). Through the executive order (EO), Obama laid out just how the US will support Israel: The EO also gives Israel a blank check on our Federal Reserve Bank to fund their endeavors. Voicing their disdain for how Obama is handling the situation in the Middle East, an official for the Israeli governmentstated: Our position is that the international community needs to do three things for thetalks to be successful. Make its demands crystal clear and tied to a clear timeline for implementation, ratchet up the economic and diplomatic pressure, and augment that pressure by making clear there is a credible military option. Israel, who once said they would hold back, have made their intentions to attack Iran very clear. They will not wait for diplomacy, and have promised to strike Iran before the end of 2012. Using propaganda assertionslike Assad is obtaining chemical weapons, Israel is building a case against Syria. Both Obama and Netanyahu were involved with the covert operationinvolving Flame (the continuation of Stuxnet); a computer virus unleashed to syphon information from Iranian computers. Israel and the US plan to hold a joint military training session in October of this year. Included will be military drills of thousands of soldiers and advanced anti-missile defense systems exercises. It appears to be coincidental that these war games will take place just prior to presidential elections in the US. The two nations, who have become closer over the recent months, are planning to deal with Iran and Syria with as much aggression as they see fit. A few military analysts have dubbed the drills a dress rehearsal, mocking the severity of Obama and Netanyahus campaign. Amidst the UN and US sanctions against the two Middle Eastern nations, there is a clear threat of military strike that would serve both the US and Israeli interests. The preparation for an attack on Iranis being downplayed by the UN, while the international community is escalating their claims that Irans supposed nuclear endeavors are a violation of treaties; as well as the Iranian governments failure to properly cooperate with UN inspectors. In response to the threatening stance of the US, Israel and the UN, Iran and its allies (Russia, China and Syria) are preparing for war themselves. Sources from Irans media claim that 90,000 soliders from the 4 countries are to take part in massive war games. Included are Chinese warships, Russian atomic submarines, aircraft carriers, and Iranian battleships and submarines. Susanne Posel is the Chief Editor of Occupy Corporatism.

3	Has The Era Of Genetically Pure Gattaca Babies Now Begun?Michael Snyder On the 18th of May, a couple in Philadelphia gave birth to a baby that came from an embryo that was selected thanks to a cutting edge procedure known as next-generation sequencing. This procedure allows scientists to read every letter of the human genome very rapidly and very cheaply. So will millions of parents soon be lining up to check their potential offspring for genetic abnormalities? Has the era of genetically pure Gattaca babies now begun? This new technology is being heralded as a great breakthrough in the field of human fertility. The first IVF baby to be screened using a procedure that can read every letter of the human genome has been born in the US. Connor Levy was born on 18 May after a Philadelphia couple had cells from their IVF embryos sent to specialists in Oxford, who checked them for genetic abnormalities. The process helped doctors at the couples fertility clinic in the US select embryos with the right number of chromosomes. These have a much higher chance of leading to a healthy baby. The birth demonstrates how next-generation sequencing (NGS), which was developed to read whole genomes quickly and cheaply, is poised to transform the selection of embryos in IVF clinics. Of course they are. But what about all of the babies that are discarded in the process? Dagan Wells, a fertility specialist at Oxford University, screened 13 different embryos for the couple from Philadelphia. His testing helped them select the best one After standard treatment at the US clinic, the couple had 13 IVF embryos to choose from. The doctors cultured the embryos for five days, took a few cells from each and sent them to Wells in Oxford for genetic screening. Tests showed that while most of the embryos looked healthy, only three had the right number of chromosomes. It cant make embryos better than they were in the beginning, but it can guide us to the best ones, said Wells. So what happened to the less desirable embryos? That is a very good question. Unfortunately, this is just the beginning. A second baby that came from an embryo that went through the same kind of screening process will be born in the United Statesnext month. Of course fertility clinics have been helping parents select the best embryo for years. But now this new screening process is being hailed as a much more scientific way of improving the chances of producing a desirable baby Embryo screening involves separating embryos with the best chance of producing a pregnancy from those with chromosomal abnormalities. Traditionally it has involved a beauty contest in which technicians pick out the best-looking embryos for transfer to the womb. But this technique is highly unreliable, since even an embryo that appears textbook perfect under a microscope can harbour hidden defects. And parents certainly dont want any hidden defects, do they? A lot of scientists involved in this field of research truly believe that they are doing a wonderful thing for parents. They are fully convinced that helping parents transform the process of fertility from a game of craps intoa process that they can control is a worthwhile endeavor Lee Silver, a professor of molecular biology and public policy at Princeton University, urged the audience members to look at someone sitting next to them. That person and you differ at over 1 million locations in your DNA [deoxyribonucleic acid]. Most [of these variations] dont do anything, Silver said. [But] even if you are a healthy adult, 100 [of these] can cause deadly childhood disease in your children or grandchildren. Mother Nature is a metaphor, he continued. And it is a bad metaphor, because in reality inheritance is a game of craps It wont have to be that way in the future. But where does this end? At first, they may just weed out babies that have a high chance of getting sick or being deformed. And eventually, defective embryos may be banned entirely because they would be too much of a burden on society. Can you see where this is going? Back in 1997, a movie entitled Gattaca came out that envisioned a world where those that are not genetically pure are greatly discriminated against. The following isa summary of the plot for the movie Vincent is one of the last natural babies born into a sterile, genetically-enhanced world, where life expectancy and disease likelihood are ascertained at birth. Myopic and due to die at 30, he has no chance of a career in a society that now discriminates against your genes, instead of your gender, race or religion. Going underground, he assumes the identity of Jerome, crippled in an accident, and achieves prominence in the Gattaca Corporation, where he is selected for his lifelong desire: a manned mission to Saturns 14th moon (titan). Constantly passing gene tests by diligently using samples of Jeromes hair, skin, blood and urine, his now-perfect world is thrown into increasing desperation, his dream within reach, when the mission director is killed and he carelessly loses an eyelash at the scene! Certain that they know the murderers ID, but unable to track down the former Vincent, the police start to close in, with extra searches, and new gene tests. With the once-in-a-lifetime launch only days away, Vincent must avoid arousing suspicion, while passing the tests, evading the police, and not knowing whom he can trust At the time, nobody ever dreamed that we would actually see such a thing in the real world. And now, it is reportedly even possible to create babies that have DNA from more than two parents. In fact, scientists in the UK have just been given the okay to start creating embryos with DNA from three parents A technique to implant donor DNA from a third party into in vitro embryos has been approved by the British Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA). The technique is a form of germline alteration that involves modification of the persons mitochondrial DNA (MDNA) to create genetic changes that will be carried on throughout subsequent generations. The recommendation to allow the technique follows a public consultation ordered by the government in which the HFEA said they found broad support. The report said that the potential benefits outweighed the risks and that there is no evidence that the procedure is unsafe. The HFEA report said that it should only be used to avoid serious diseases and that clinics offering the technique must be licensed. It also recommended that the children created using this genetic alteration technique be monitored. As technology continues to advance, will their be any limits on what is possible? One Harvard professor is even trying to recruit someone to give birth to a Neanderthal baby. Seriously. The following is howthe Daily Mail described this very strange story Professor George Church of Harvard Medical School believes he can reconstruct Neanderthal DNA and resurrect the species which became extinct 33,000 years ago. He said his analysis of Neanderthal genetic code using samples from bones is complete enough to reconstruct their DNA. He said: Now I need an adventurous female human. It depends on a hell of a lot of things, but I think it can be done. We are moving into a time when genetic manipulation of the human race is going to become commonplace. Scientists are assuring us that there is absolutely nothing to be concerned about. Unfortunately, they have no idea what they are messing around with. About the author: Michael T.

3	The Anatomy of Cyborg Man - Overcoming the Mechanistic MindJulian Rose It became evident in researching the background to the Transhumanist agenda, that not only eugenics but also reductivism the reducing of all human life to a gene is a central component of the techno anti-life blueprint. I am thankful for William Engdahl in pointing out that after World War Two and the horrors of Auschwitz , the term eugenics acquired a bad reputation, so the name was changed to genetics: which, as in reductivism, is about the reducing of human life to a gene. This enables genetic engineers to manipulate the expression of that gene so that it becomes dominant and takes complete control over other life forms. Here we find a direct connection with GMO: the altering of a plant or animals genetic make-up in order to programme into it a set of reactions designed to fit the requirements of corporatized global agriculture. Requirements in which natures way of doing things is deemed inferior to mans and genetic reprogramming via laboratory intervention superior to discovering and working together with the unfolding pulse of universal creation. In this we see the cyborg mentality clearly emerging, with its seemingly fixated tunnel vision mentality wedded to an advanced state of delusional hubris. In truth this is an apt enough definition of clinical insanity. However, the reason why the social services do not rush to the rescue of those suffering this sort of dementia, is that the system in which such services operate is itself deeply influenced by the same underlying sickness. Varying degrees of clinical insanity are prevalent throughout all areas of the status quo, leading to the fact that mad scientist syndrome does not stand out sufficiently strongly from what surrounds it to attract undue or special attention. I wish to make reference here to a comment that appeared under my Transhumanist Singularity article in a well-known alternative blog site. You will no doubt see why I decided to re-post it once you have absorbed its contents. The paragraph quoted is part of a longer comment, but is sufficiently succinct to stand alone as an expression of the intent of the author: It would be easy to dismiss this statement as just the cynical outpouring of a techno-obsessed nerd. However, upon closer inspection, it reveals a way of thinking which is common to many science and finance trained minds operating behind the scenes today. Particularly one should note the authors view that we are all born into a world of poor design full of limitations, flaws, mistakes and genetic traits to which we are prisoners and have no say about. Transhumanists, the author states have no alternative except to resort to technology and their own work and research to try and fix these failings. While this is obviously a case of man playing God one has to remind ones self that the Transhumanist does not believe in any form of supreme entity. It is technical proficiency, leading to a perfection of emotionless functionality, which is instead held to be the supreme goal of the human race. That state would presumably fit the bill of having ironed-out all the flaws inherent in the original design. This dream of mechanised flawless robotic perfection links with Newtonian physics. In Newtons theory, the spheres move mechanically across the heavens providing an absolute order in which everything falls into place with predictable, clockwork precision. If such an arrangement were to be seen as somehow of superior efficiency to a world guided by the variability of human emotions, then one can see why certain schools of science might declare man to be a poor design and generally inferior to the surety and safety provided by the Newtonian model. Computers also offer the safety and predictability of a Newtonian design which obeys a mechanistic principle. To those who suffer a deep fear of the unknown and who have never sampled or have rejected the warm and loving characteristics inherent in humanity, a computerised overlord offers a kind of safe haven. Complete predictability, born out of a multiplication of sexless logical algorithms, is the same psychology that much of modern advertising uses to sell its perfect couples with their perfect toothpaste tube smiles and perfect children, perfect house and of course perfect weed-free garden. Not to mention all other perfect packaged consumables which supermarkets have redesigned as an expression of the mind control methodology Edward Bernays first brought into prominence during the 1920s. The concept of perfection defined as something in which all traits have been removed is thus the model of cyborgian man. For that vision to gain widespread traction, its creators have to first define what the problems are (that need removing) and then come up with a rarefied model of a problem free look-alike. Then, using the devious powers of modern advertising attract the masses to imitate (or purchase) this model. Such a trait to a supermarket is for example, a curved banana. Because one cannot fit as many curved bananas onto a standard supermarket shelf as largely straight bananas. Here we see how the logic of profit-driven mass production demands the alteration of nature in order to comply with its objectives. Once such a formula is set in motion, the public must then be made to believe that such foods are superior to those that dont conform to this particular vision of perfection. This is achieved by indoctrination: conveying the impression that trait-free healthy bananas grow straight and that all others are inferior. The straighter the banana, the more pure it is and the more easily identifiable with some form of purified genetic stock. A direct continuation of the Nazi eugenics formula for the ascension of the blond-haired, blue-eyed Ubermensch. If you cast your mind over the format for the materialistic modern world, you will recognise the replication of this mass-production standardised formula everywhere you look; and in the case of the globalised food industry the takeover is almost complete. In fact, monoculture the agrichemically assisted continuous growing of one or two types of crop on the same land year after year to the exclusion of any other species is straight out of the man playing God manual. Using toxic chemicals to achieve the complete exclusion of natures expression in favour of mans has been responsible for an unprecedented decline of natural biodiversity on a global scale for the past century or more. So when genetically modified seeds and plants are introduced into already agrichemical dominated monocultures, to the instigator it is no more than the continuation of an existing pattern of man over nature innovations. But follow it through and one sees that the ultimate end game is a complete takeover of the food chain. One in which a man-made and controlled intervention ensures that natures predications and inclinations are one hundred percent excluded. Do you see how this exactly parallels the Transhumanist ambitions for Cyborg man? What I am suggesting is that Cyborg man is already present in the majority of top-down hierarchical scientific and quasi-scientific ambitions. And within the institutions that make up the kernel of the military-industrial complex, global banking, energy and pharmaceutical monoliths, not to mention governments acting as the democratic stewards of the whole infernal circus. We can only effectively counteract this cyborgian mindset by understanding how it ticks getting under its skin and then subverting it. Ultimately, we find that the Illuminati influence which is pervasive throughout the political status quo reveals a line of connection to certain Masonic/Luciferian ambitions and practices into which the cyborg mentality neatly fits. This in turn leads back to the extra-terrestrial god-kings whom Illuminati initiates claim an extended bloodline connection with. Could it be that these Transhumanist and cyborg devotees are responding to an (as yet uninterrupted) line of instruction that emanates from interbreeding Illuminati power worshippers? If so, it could explain a lot about why they would believe that sentient human existence is full of limitations, flaws and genetic mistakes and why the only way to overcome these failures is to bring life under the control of a technologically refined robot programmed to simulate the human but with all elements that deviate from a Godless algorithmically programmed cyborg systematically removed. Here lies a great clue for we who carry the torch of real humanity onward. It is our imperative to free ourselves and those who we seek to make aware, from any influence that this alien underworld may hold. For it is a world whose sinister deviations from the Tao of deeper human destiny are the work of dark side quasi-geniuses. Those whose reversed logic carries within it a very real appeal to the weak minded and spiritually impoverished and whose extraordinary self-sustained arrogance makes it appear impregnable to the true forces of universal love, art and all forms of joyous aspiration. Under these circumstances we are called upon to fully open up untapped powers in ourselves and in others. Powers which are key to overcoming all attempts to hijack the human race and this Planet Earth, our home. That is the imperative of this time. We are faced by a challenge which is the ultimate challenge of all challenges: to overcome the temptation to be seduced into failing to rise to the Godly qualities with which we have been endowed from birth. The only qualities that ensure certain victory for that which is allied to Divine. For we will undoubtedly need to draw upon that extraordinary well-spring if we are to overcome the cyborg mentality which is its chief opposition. In this deeply perplexing, unfathomable and yet wondrous game called life, these two forces now stand head to head. We have arrived at the final door. A door which determinedly blocks the full emancipation of the human condition. Rise to the challenge of pushing open this door and we will become an unstoppable force no matter what further obstructions are thrown in our path.

3	War on Syria begins with mass vaccination programRady Ananda That went so well in Africa, India and Pakistan that surely Big Pharma profits going in and out, in caring for all the syndromes that develop later if not immediately and earning a tidy sum under the snake oil promise that vaccines prevent disease or provide protection against them. Evidence show that vaccines are too loaded with toxins and nanobits of who-knows-what to risk the side effects or sub rosa purpose of todays vaccines. But from anew book, authored by a medical doctor who dug into the history of vaccines, we learn vaccines have been militarized since year 1. The World Health Organization reports that as of November 26, 17 children have been paralyzed by polio in Syria: 15 of these children are in the contested governorate of Deir Ez Zour, one is in Aleppo and another in Douma, near Damascus. Prior to this outbreak, no polio cases have been recorded in Syria since 1999. Commenting on the announcement, integrative medical doctor Sherri Tenpenny said, They need food, clothing, love and protection. Instead, theyre getting 23M doses of polio vaccines with only 17 confirmed cases. So much for social priorities. When the eugenicists plied their vaccine program in India, 47,500 children became paralyzed in 2011. Pakistan suspended its globally-sponsored vaccination program after their children died or became disable from the vaccines. In a special 2011 report, a Pakistani health investigation concluded that polio vaccines for infants funded by the Global Alliance for Vaccination and Immunisation are causing deaths and disabilities in regional countries including Pakistan. Physician Suzanne Humphries researched the history of vaccines and published in 2013 the landmark book,Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and The Forgotten History. Below, she gives a 70-minute talk covering some key points in her new book: Showing a graph of polio outbreaks in the US, she notes that the first one, in 1916, can be attributed to Rockefeller experiments with weaponized polio in New York City, a few miles from the epicenter of the outbreak. The fatality rate of that 1916 outbreak was 25%, the highest ever recorded in history for polio. Of 23,000 patients, over 5,000 died. The second outbreak, lasting over a period of several years and peaking in the 50s, can be attributed to several factors, Dr. Humphries says, including cause, treatment, susceptibility factors, and the very definition of polio. Significantly, arsenic and DDT were widely used then, and women switched from natural breastfeeding to powdered formulas and bovine milk contaminated with DDT. Exclusively breast-fed infants were exempt from polio, she reports, highly recommending the Beyond Conformity website at http://www.beyondconformity.co.nz/. Joel Lord, editor of Vaccine Resistance Movement (whose website has been under a viral attack for at least a week now), recently reported: With that kind of in-your-face rhetoric, its no wonder the site is down or undergoing viral shenanigans. However, inSmoke, Mirrors, and the Disappearance of Polio, Dr. Humphries corroborates him: The US Food and Drug Administration is intimately involved in the eugenics program, as evidenced by its approval of drugs that when used as intended cause 106,000 fatalities a year, while at the same time criminalizing raw milk which has proven health benefits, especially to the immune system. The full breadth of the medicinal benefits of marijuana is not fully explored, but its proven benefits include anti-seizure, cancer remission, sleep aid and improved mood and appetite. Yet, the US is one of the last domains where the 34-million year old plant is criminalized, while alcohol is promoted. Humphries writes: Lest anyone can warn Syria, and the Middle East in general, acquiescing to the WHOs vaccination program seems to guarantee massive corporate and political profits along with a generation of toddlers who will become sickened and immuno-suppressed, and may even lose their ability to procreate. Just look at the US outstanding rates of autism, allergies, Epstein Barr, and other immuno-suppressed diseases, along with the rates of neurological disorders. After Big Pharma come the genetically modified seeds and fast food joints, and oh yeah, economic dominance over China and access to the worlds easily accessible oil reserves. The globalists are marching in lockstep with the plans of the Grand Chessboard.

Three people were arrest in the Holland Tunnel carrying a huge cache of weapons. Reports indicate that police officers found multiple loaded guns, rifles, knives, ballistic vests and a camouflage helmet in the vehicle in question. When interrogated, the two men and one woman who were in the car described themselves as vigilantes. The identities of those arrested in the incident have not yet been revealed to the public. It has been noted, however, that the two men were in their 50s while the woman was in her 20s. Watch the report below and stay tuned for updates on this incident. 
3	How Activist Photographers Keep Police Abuse In CheckBrandon Smith, Contributor Through federalization of state law enforcement, the government has greatly diminished the requirements and the quality of character in many city police recruitment centers. This is not to say that there are not honorable law enforcement officers out there. There are many. However, the overall health of the enforcement community has taken a nosedive in recent years, and respect for Constitutional liberties and limits has all but disappeared. I believe this trend toward thuggery is deliberately engineered, and that it is part of an ongoing process to acclimate American citizens to totalitarian conditions. The first step is, of course, to expose these developments to the world, and video activism is a powerful tool in the fight. The moment we can no longer view and record the actions of authorities is the moment we lose any ability (beyond full revolution) to apply balance or justice within the system. The system becomes utterly separate and in their minds superior to the public. This is the road to tyranny.

1	Far surpassing the ambitions of any of his previous creations, master architect David Prawer has completed his most structurally innovative pile of dirty dishes to date, sources confirmed Thursday. Prawer uses a sturdy yet economically assembled foundation of large plates and saucepans that allows the pile to soar above the rim of the sink for the very first time, said Prawers roommate Ryan Broess, noting how the skilled designer had employed cereal bowls at select intervals to buttress the piles uppermost layers. And to think most of us assumed his pile of dishes from three weeks ago was his pinnacle when it didnt even incorporate the coffee pot or the cutting board, let alone employ a half-eaten slice of pizza as a cushion for the load-bearing tumbler above itjust breathtaking. Broess went on to say that the lattice of food-covered silverware atop the pile demonstrated that his roommate also had full command of aesthetic details. 
3	A Welcome US/Saudi ResetDr. Ron Paul However, it was the recent diplomatic opening between the United States and Iran that most infuriated the Saudis. Saudi Arabia is strongly opposed to the Iranian government and has vigorously lobbied the US Congress to maintain sanctions and other pressure on Iran. Like Israel, the Saudis are fearful of any US diplomacy with Iran. This additional strain in US/Saudi relations came at the 40 year anniversary of the Arab oil embargo of the US over its support of Israel in the 1973 Yom Kippur war. At the time, the embargo caused quite a bit of trouble for Americans, including gas shortages and long lines at the filling stations. A repeat of this move, however, would not have the same effect on the US economy. Though it would not be desired, these are not the 1970s and oil is now a more fungible commodity no longer solely in Arab hands. Why does Saudi Arabia insist that the United States fight its battles? The Saudis are strongly opposed to the governments in Syria and Iran so they expect the US to attack. It is their neighborhood, why dont they fight their own wars? Israel shares the same position in the region as Saudi Arabia: it has been fighting to overthrow Assad in Syria for years, and Israeli leadership constantly pushes the US toward war on Iran. They are both working on the same side of these issues but why do they keep trying to draw us in? If Saudi Arabia and Israel are so determined to extend their influence in the region and share such similar goals, why dont they work together to stabilize the region without calling on the US for back-up? It might be healthy for them to cooperate and leave us out of it. One of Osama bin Ladens stated goals was to bankrupt the US by drawing it into endless battles in the Middle East and south Asia. Unfortunately, even from beyond the grave he continues to successfully implement his policy. But should we really be helping him do so? If Saudi Arabia wants to pull back from its deep and unhealthy relationship with the United States we should welcome such a move. Then we might return to peace and commerce rather than sink under entangling alliances. Former Congressman Ron Pauls weekly column is originally posted at The-Free-Foundation.org.

2	Ted Nuget Unleash On Obama And Exposes Him For THIS... Ted Nuget has earned the respect of conservatives for not being afraid of a little controversy. He is known for calling out the Obama administration. Now, Nuget is speaking out to claim that the president is currently at fault for the racial divide. Nuget recently made claims that the Reverend Al Sharpton and President Obama make matters worse when they continue to make race an issue, regardless of reality. By the late 60s, the 70s, I couldnt find racism, Nugent claims. I never saw racism. I never heard of racism. I thought it was a thing o the past in isolated pockets of inbreeding and cannibalism and spiritlessness. Nugent claims that he never judged people by color, but instead by spirit and soul. Now, Nugent says that racism can be seen in politics more than anywhere else. He pointed specifically to Obamas If I had a son comment regarding Trayvon Martin. Nowhere can I find racism except coming out of the White House! Nugent concluded. What do you think of Nugents comments? 
3	Obamacare System Issues Mean Enrollees May Not Actually be CoveredLily Dane Consumers who made it through the crashes and glitches of the perpetually broken Obamacare enrollment site and were able to sign up for insurance may be in for a rude awakening next month due to a significant problem with the back end of the site. The information that insurance companies are receiving through the website is often jumbled or incomplete and in some cases, it isnt going through at all. Some insurers have reported that they have tested the site using John Doe applications and the information they submitted did not make it through the back end. Enrollment forms called 834s are sent to insurance companies after a customer enrolls in a plan. Glitches on the site are causing problems with the information on those forms, which are impacting a significant number of consumers: The errors cumulatively have affected roughly one-third of the people who have signed up for health plans since Oct. 1, according to two government and health-care industry officials. The White House disputed the figure but declined to provide its own. The mistakes include failure to notify insurers about new customers, duplicate enrollments or cancellation notices for the same person, incorrect information about family members, and mistakes involving federal subsidies. (source) If the enrollment form errors are not corrected, tens of thousands of consumers will be at risk of not having coverage when the insurance goes into effect Jan. 1 because the health plans they selected do not have the information needed to send them a bill. The ACA stipulates that consumers are not considered to be covered unless they have paid at least the first monthly insurance premium. The White House is urging customers to double-check that they have coverage: If consumers are not sure if they are enrolled, they should call our customer call center or the insurer of their choice so that they can be sure theyre covered by Jan. 1, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Monday. The administration is reaching out by telephone and email to consumers who have begun or submitted applications via HealthCare.gov, in order to advise them of the steps they must take to confirm their enrollments. Of course, the Obama administration insists that the enrollment form glitch will be repaired by next month, when plans are supposed to be in effect. But we all know better, dont we?

2	Secret Service Make Very Disturbing Claim About Michelle Obama In his new book called The First Family Detail, Robert Kessler attempts to reveal the conversations that happen in the White House behind closed doors. That ranges from official conversations to small interactions between the First couple themselves. The relationship between Michelle and her husband is an interesting one to take in. According to secret service agents assigned to the first family, Michelle has a visceral reaction to white Republicans. And, according to claims by secret service agents, Michelle often verbally insists that Obama take the African American side of social issues. Although this is not entirely a secret, it is still shocking to hear from such an inside source. Perhaps the best example of Michelles stance comes with the Trayvon Martin scandal, when the President deemed the controversial cases a tragedy. At the time, the president commented that if he had a son, he imagined he would look a lot like Trayvon Martin. What do you think? Are you surprised that Michelle rules the roost when it comes to Obamas decision-making? 
3	Harnessing Quantum Entanglement Is Humanitys Secret WeaponDave Hodges The globalists, or should I more accurately say the Satanists, know about this and they have actively worked to suppress the ability. In this series of articles, the reader will witness how such variables such as the power of prayer have become measurable using double blind studies and utilizing the research protocols of control and experimental groups. The reader will also learn in the first part of this series what it means to live in a universe of quantum entanglement which is now fully embraced by physicists. The next several parts of this series will scientifically demonstrate the locked away powers that we possess which could change the very nature of humanity and drastically alter the circumstances under which we live and exist. Presently, these powers are being harnessed by health psychologists to heal and to ward off the advancement of disease. And amazingly these are many of the same powers that are spoken of in the Bible, but in this series I present the nature of our hidden talents under the microscope of science. This series will not only present these stunning revelations, but the following articles will discuss ways in which they can be used to establish order on within our lives, increase our sense of well-being, enhance self-esteem and most all, dramatically alter life on this planet as know and understand it today. 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 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 series, you will discover when America descends into the tyranny of martial law, Christians will be the first large group to be purged. From a purely scientific view, Nikola Tesla is the origination point of the discovery of much of what will be discussed in this series of articles. He is rightfully credited with developing the concept of hyper-dimensional physics which is a multi-dimensional approach to science as opposed to the old Newtonian model of science which predominates traditional mainstream science today. Most modern institutions of higher learning force feed their students the Newtonian model of science, and one of the net effects is that this suppresses the concepts and abilities which would arise from a hyper-dimensional model. Tesla had actually discovered how to traverse dimensions and deliver energy anywhere on the planet. In a physical sense, the weather control device, Project HAARP, is the outgrowth of Tesla technology (see Air Force document Weather as a Force Multiplier:Owning the Weather in 2025). Embedded within Tesla technology is the concept of quantum entanglement. The second and third generations of Tesla-based science which served to influenced quantum-based scientists as they developed and coined the term quantum entanglement. This concept is an extension of the power of human consciousness. Tesla was shunned by the elite because he could deliver free energy and the early 20th century version of the globalists did not want any power delivery technique employed that could not be metered for profit. However, the US Navy took an interest in Tesla; but upon his death in 1943, it was the FBI that promptly seized and classified most of his work. It is safe to say that if Tesla technology had not been suppressed, humanity would not have the food and water shortages which dominate the planet and exist solely for purposes of political control. But most of all, human consciousness evolution would have been enhanced to the point in which every individual would have had the ability to self-actualize and be what John F. Kennedy once said was free and independent. The Power of the Mind and the Soul Represents the Final Frontier of Science 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, represents 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 and harness it for their own evil purposes. However, what has frustrated the globalists is that the power of the mind, body and soul are inextricably intertwined and their efforts to morph (e.g. combining human and animal DNA) and to control have 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 and this fact represents the ultimate roadblock to total domination of our being by the global elite. The globalists can theoretically control all food, water and weapons. However, they cannot stop the power of what lies deep inside all of each human being, if only humanity would claim this power. And the good news is that these proclamations are no longer just the 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. There is much more to the power of the mind than the gatekeepers of the mainstream of society care 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. The Author Was a Slow Learner I was trained as a scientist. I have written statistics courses at the collegiate level. I have taught graduate level capstone research courses at the University level. I am professionally rooted in what one can statistically demonstrate by assigning probabilities to the likelihood of something being true. I am a victim of my training which emanates from the three dimensional world of Newtonian science. As it turns out, my Newtonian science training is the equivalent of third grade math compared to the quantum entanglement/hyper-dimensional physics model which I would equate in this metaphor as consisting of trigonometry. One cannot not fully understand the limitless power of the human mind without first understanding the concept of quantum entanglement. Quantum entanglement is based upon the idea that we are all connected to each other at some level of consciousness and that we can accurately and provably know, sense and feel things without the use of our five traditional senses. Some of the more prominent physicists (e.g. Michio Kaku and his Superstring Theory) are developing mathematical models based on these notions. It Has Always Been In Our Nature To Be Connected One quantum second before the Big Bang, all the elements of what would become people were connected to each other. Quantum physicists say that we maintain that connection to our source and subsequently to each other. For years as a psychology instructor, I taught the basics of my discipline, never deviating from the script. I did not teach anything related to what is traditionally referred to as parapsychology. No telepathy, telekinesis, remote viewing, clairvoyance, power of prayer at a distance or anything else other than what exists in our three dimensional world would have ever made it into my classroom. Occasionally, I would have students ask me about these phenomenon, but I politely debunked their existence. And it wasnt long until I discovered that life has a way of humbling ones belief systems, and my random experiences served to debunk my own personal and professional closed mindlessness. A New Paradigm 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. 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. The Concept of Pay It Forward Is Scientifically Provable On the heels of the Rupert experiments, I discovered that committing random acts of kindness is very good for our health and 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. In my research for completing a rewrite for a statistics course, I accidentally came across and read about what is called various levels of significance, as expressed in scientific studies. However, the material I stumbled upon was unlike anything I had ever been exposed to. I had happened upon the Princeton EGGS experiment, which has profound implications for understanding the universe in which we inhabit. Looking at what I originally thought was a weak scientific attempt to prove something that could never be, I proceeded to read about the Princeton experiments to see what the fantasy crowd was up to. Instead, what I found was exemplary science with nearly flawless methodology as it related to the research of quantum entanglement of minds and the power of intention. The Princeton EGGS experiment is based upon the notion that a nonspecific major world event can be predicted through the random spike in a random event generator which is caused by the interface and influence with humans. 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 separations. 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 the 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 experimenters 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. Here is how the Princeton EGGS experiment works. Subjects sit near a device that produces random numbers, but the subjects have no physical connection to the random generator. Subjects are told to resonate with the machine which is called a random event generator (REG) while wishing it to change its behavior to produce higher or lower scores than it should by chance. In short, the experiment attempts to demonstrate the fact that mind can make a demonstrablechange on the physical environment in a tightly controlled scientific set of conditions. The sum of the research demonstrates a highly significant correlation indicating that consciousness can measurably affect the physical world. One of the principal researchers, Dean Radin, says that the noisiness of the random sequence is changed. However, the degree of noisiness can vary greatly and can even now be correlated with major world events. World Listening Outposts Over 70 listening outposts scattered around the world were established in the Princeton EGGS experiment. Readings were fed to a central command center located at Princeton. Results were tabulated and baseline levels of readings were established. Researchers began to correlate their collective global readings to world events; and the results shook me to the core of my being. I wanted so badly to debunk this antithesis to the very nature of my training as a researcher and a practitioner in mental health services. Yet, I was impressed by the nearly flawless controls placed within the study. The level of sophistication of the research, as well as the extrapolation of the data, was as sophisticated and methodologically sound as I have ever seen. Conclusion It literally took me years to realize the profound personal and collective implications of my discoveries. It wasnt until I was locked in a confrontational battle with the John McCain led globalist forces who wanted my community of 300 families off of our land to make way for a CANAMEX highway, with no compensation, did I come to realize how these concepts could be practically applied. I will discuss these events in both parts two and three of this series. The power resulting from the scientific concepts introduced in part one, are effective and they are scientifically demonstrable. The first part of this series merely touched the surface of the topic of quantum entanglement. If one reads the following parts to this series, one will discover that healing prayer at a distance can be assigned statistical probabilities for the efficacy of the event. The reader will also learn the nature of what is called the power of intention and how it can be manifested to bring about physical changes in the physical world. And the crown jewel to this series is centered on how humanity can embark upon a different course by simply opening up themselves up to the possibilities of what can be.

3	The FAA Creates Thin Privacy Guidelines For The Nations First Domestic Drone Test SitesApril Glaser and Jennifer Lynch In 2012 Obama signed the Federal Aviation Administration Modernization and Reform Act,which mandated that the FAA implement test sites to fly domestic drones before opening the door to nationwide regulations and licensing for commercial drone flying. 24 states have applied to be FAA drone test sites. While the FAAs rules do establish minimal transparency guidelines for the new drone test sites, the new rules apply only to the test sites and do not apply to the drones that are already authorized to fly. The new transparency rules require each test site operator to create, post, and enforce its own privacy policy, as well as set up a mechanism to receive and consider comments from the public. The FAA rules further state that test sites must require all drone operators to establish a written plan for the operators use and retention of data collected by the UAS. Although the FAAs rules require the test site privacy policies to be made available to the public, there seems to be no similar requirement for the UAS operators written plans. There also appears to be no FAA oversight for these transparency rules the rules basically call for the test sites to police themselves. While we appreciate the steps the FAA has taken so far, the agency could and should go further to require similar transparency from all drone operators. The FAA has already authorized almost 1,500 permits for domestic drones since 2007, but, despite our twoFreedom of Information Act lawsuits for drone data, we still dont know much about where these drones are flying and what data they are collecting. It is especially important for the FAA to define basic data collection procedures for domestic drones because the technology enables a kind of surveillance not achievable by manned aerial or ground-based law enforcement or commercial entities. Some drones are capable of staying in the air for 16-24 hours at a time, much longer than a manned aircraft ever could. Drones can fly altitudes above 20,000 feet with super high resolution cameras and can monitor and track many people at once or intercept phone calls and text messages. Drones also cost far less to purchase, operate and maintain than helicopters and planes. A number of drone bills have been introduced in Congress over the last two years, but Senator Markeys proposed legislation is demanding of both the FAA and drone operators when it comes to protecting the constitutional rights of Americans. The Drone Aircraft Privacy and Transparency Act calls for the FAA to institute and enforce guidelines for all licensed domestic drone flightsnot just test sitesthat include clear data minimization procedures, as well as transparency rules that require drone test site operators to disclose their data collection practices and how drone operators use, retain, and share all collected data. Markeys bill requires the FAA to create a publicly searchable database of all awarded drone operator licenses, the logistical details of their operation, and each drone operators data collection and minimization statement. Creating a database like this is within the FAAs purview. The agency already runs other databases about aircrafts in national airspace, listing who is in the air, accident reports, and safety information. Law enforcement agencies across the country are already flying drones without set national privacy guidelines in place. But at this point our most successful tactic for learning more about drones has been to sue for access to information. The American public shouldnt have to submit a FOIA request just to know if drones are overhead. Senator Markeys bill is a strong start to what needs to be an ongoing conversation about the future of American privacy standards in light of the coming age of domestic drones. We need more lawmakers to speak up for greater transparency and accountability of both government and commercial operation of drones in our national airspace. Until there are laws in place that mandate transparency, we encourage you to submit requests to your local law enforcement agency and city council to learn more about drone flights in your area. Weve partnered with MuckRock, an open government organization dedicated to helping people send requests for public records, to campaign for greater transparency about drones that are already flying in the United States. If youre wondering what your own police agency may be doing with drones, go here and fill out this simple form so MuckRock can send in a public records request for you. 
1	In an effort to reduce wasteful spending and eliminate non-vital federal services, the U.S. government announced plans this week to cut its long-standing senator program, a move it says will help save more than $300 billion each year. According to officials, the decision to cut the national legislative body was reached during a budget review meeting on Tuesday. After hours of deliberation, it was agreed that the cost of financing U.S. senators far outweighed the benefits they provided. 'Now more than ever, we must eliminate needless spending wherever possible,' President Obama said at a press conference Wednesday. 'When we sat down to go over our annual budget, we asked ourselves, where can we safely trim back? What programs can we do away with without negatively impacting the American people? Which bloated and ineffective institutions can we no longer justify having around?' 'The answer was obvious,' Obama added. 'The U.S. Senate just needed to go.' Established in 1789 as a means of overseeing the passage of bills into law, the once-promising senator program has reportedly failed to contribute to the governing of the nation in any significant way since 1964. Last year alone, approximately $450 billion was funneled into the legislative chamber, an amount deemed fiscally unsound considering how few citizens actually benefit in any way from its existence. Four of the 100 obsolete employees in the senate program. In fact, the program has gone unchecked for so long that many in Washington are now unable to recall what purpose U.S. senators were originally meant to serve. 'I'm sure when it was first introduced the U.S. Senate seemed like a worthwhile public service that would aid vast segments of the population and play an important role in the years to come,' said Sheila McKenzie, president of the watchdog group the American Center for Responsible Government. 'But in reality, this program has been a complete and utter failure.' 'It simply doesn't work,' she added. 'We've been pouring taxpayer dollars into this outdated relic for far too long.' An analysis conducted last week revealed a number of troubling flaws within the long-running, heavily subsidized program, including a lack of consistent oversight, no clear objectives or goals, the persistent hiring of unqualified and selfishly motivated individuals, and a 100 percent redundancy rate among its employees. Moreover, the study found that the U.S. government already funds a fully operational legislative body that appears to do the exact same job as the Senate, but which also provides a fair and proportional representation of the nation's citizens and has rules in place to prevent one individual from holding the operations of the entire chamber hostage until he is guaranteed massive federal spending projects for his home state of Alabama. Not only have U.S. Senators cost the country billions of dollars in misspent funds over the years, but Washington insiders claim they have also derailed a wide range of other government programs, from social welfare to job creation to environmental protection. 'Even just the space the Senate currently occupies could be put to better use,' consumer advocate Michael Dodgerson said. 'Were the government to open a day-care center, a homeless shelter, or even an affordable restaurant in that building, it would make more of a difference in the lives of everyday Americans than what's there now.' So far, reaction to the cutback has been overwhelming positive, with many across the country calling it a long-awaited step toward progress. Still, a small pocket of the nation's populace vehemently disagreed with Tuesday's decision. 'This is outrageous,' said Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut-area resident and concerned citizen who makes more than $150,000 a year, enjoys full health care benefits, and lives comfortably in a large, non-foreclosed home. 'The U.S. Senate has always looked out for my best interests. It's always done right by me.' Added Lieberman, 'Without it, I'll have no choice but to exploit my extensive connections in the real estate, legal, insurance, and pharmaceutical industries to obtain strictly honorary positions at large companies that, in exchange for my subservience over the years and the prestige of my name, will compensate me generously and allow me to continue living a privileged life without contributing even a moment of my time to the society that has made it all possible.' 
1	Barry Hodge, a 37-year-old Huntsville resident and assistant shoe-store manager, has no fear of trying new or unfamiliar snack-food items, it was reported Monday. Fearless muncher Barry Hodge in his kitchen. 'I don't know what it is about me, but I've never been afraid to try new things,' Hodge said. 'Remember when they put the crisped rice in the middle of M&Ms last year? I wasn't scared. Or when they added that cookie layer to Reese's Peanut Butter Cups? Even though I had no idea what it would be like, I dove right in without thinking twice. I just try to keep an open mind about new experiences.' Hodge has long cultivated his reputation for fearlessness, willing to try anything described on its packaging as new, zestier, crunchier or bolder. 'A lot of people I know don't seize the moment, and I think that's kind of sad,' said Hodge, eating a Fluffernutter sandwich. 'When I heard there was a new pizza-flavored Pringles, I didn't back down in fear of the unknown. Instead, I went for it, hopping in my car and racing to the Piggly Wiggly to pick up a can. Same thing when I heard about those new chocolate-covered Pretzel Flipz.' 'Even when I make a mistake,' Hodge continued, 'I never regret it, because at least I know I tried to expand my horizons. Like that new Oreo breakfast cereal: I wound up not liking it all that much, but I won't spend the rest of my life looking over my shoulder, wondering what it would've been like to try it.' Hodge has been known to push the snacking envelope in other ways, as well. Recently, he began experimenting with dipping chips into such non-traditional chip-dipping substances as Duncan Hines cake frosting, Smuckers strawberry jam, and the frozen residue left by a can of A&W cream soda that exploded in his freezer. 'I tried scraping the frozen cream soda with some Tostitos, but it really didn't work,' Hodge said. 'The Tostitos did go surprisingly well with the frosting, though. That sweet-salty combination is great.' Though Hodge is best known for his adventurousness and bravado in the face of untested snack foods, he said he also enjoys returning to old favorites. 'I've always loved Bugles, and I eat those a lot when I feel like having something friendly and familiar,' Hodge said. 'I'm the same way with Funyuns.' 'Still, most of the time, I find myself seeking out something new to try,' Hodge added. 'I guess I'm just a restless soul.'

The incident began with two people flagging down an Arlington School Resource Officer at about 3:00 PM on Tuesday. They wanted to report an aggravated assault, by a man who was believed to be armed. When the officer discovered the vehicle matching Sadeks description and pulled it over, the man immediately exited his car and started approaching the officer in a very aggressive manner. He refused to follow the officers instructions, so he was forced to taser him to the ground. With the help of two bystanders, he was handcuffed and arrested.

1	By the conclusion of the 2012 London Games last Sunday, promising 12-year-old gymnast Alexandra Davids had already begun working diligently on an inspiring personal backstory for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. 'I'll have to get cut from a team at some point or maybe fall just short at a really important competition,' said Davids, who added that temporarily living in a homeless shelter or surviving a school shooting could provide a background that would make her story more touching. 'If I could suffer some sort of serious injury and have doctors tell me I'll never be able to compete again, that'd be perfect. Basically anything where I can capture the hearts and minds of the entire nation by defying the odds to win.' Davids confirmed that, while she in no way hopes for it to happen, having one of her parents die unexpectedly right before the Olympics 'certainly couldn't hurt.'

In fact, he has gone far out of his way to deny any involvement with Frank Marshall Davisa known communist who is believed to have been one of Obamas biggest influencers. Davis is mentioned in Dreams From My Father, Obamas bookhowever the president makes a weak attempt to disguise his true identity, referring to his role model as anything but Frank. Now, a new video clip from 1995 shows the president discussing his book at the Cambridge Public Library. In the footage, he clearly discloses who Frank is, and discusses the various lessons he learned from himincluding how racist white people once were. I have a discussion with him about the kinds of frustrations Im having, and he sorts of schools me that I should get used to these frustrations, Obama said of his conversations with Frank, who was a black man from Kansas. Frank Marshall Davis was a former member of the Communist Party USA, and was also on the FBIs security index. Watch the video below and tell us what you think of Obamas admission.

2	Pakistani Man Dies Inhaling Fumes Burning American Flag According to recent reports, a Pakistani protestor recently died after inhaling smoke from burning the American flag during a rally against the film Innocence of Muslims. Abdullah Ismail complained of feeling ill during the angry demonstrations in an Eastern Pakistan city. More than 10,000 are estimated to have participated in the protest, which was organized by the group Tehreek Hurmat-i-Rasool. In addition to the flag burning, demonstrators were heard chanting anti-United States slogans. The anti-Islamic film is said to have been produced with the backing of the United States establishment. Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, head of the Jamatud Dawa organization (one of the most active militant Islamist groups in South Asia) argued that the director of the film and all those involved in its production must be hanged. Saeed also urged the public to announce jihad against America and to boycott U.S. goods. What do you think of the violent protest? Is this absolutely inexcusable? 
2	Teacher Tells Students: Support Gay Marriage Or Leave My Class [VIDEO] If you are against gay marriage you are homophobic. This is what one Marquette University teacher had to say about her students refusal to agree with gay marriage. The teacher went as far to ban gay marriage discussion in her classroom, arguing that it might offend homosexuals in the class. We had a discussion on all of them except gay rights, the student told me. She erased that line from the board and said, We all agree on this. Well, as it so happened the student did not agree with instructor Abbate. So after class he approached the instructor and told her he thought they should have discussed the issue of gay rights. He also recorded their conversation without her permission. Are you saying if I dont agree with gays not being allowed to get married that Im homophobic? the student asked. Im saying it would come off as a homophobic comment in this class, the teacher replied. Regardless of why Im against gay marriage, its still wrong for the teacher of a class to completely discredit one persons opinion when they may have different opinions, the student said. Abbate disagreed. There are some opinions that are not appropriate that are harmful such as racist opinions, sexist opinions, she said. And quite honestly, do you know if anyone in the class is homosexual? The student said he did not know the answer to her question. Do you not think that would be offensive to them if you were to raise your hand and challenge this, she asked. At that point, the student told the instructor he had a right to challenge that thats my right as an American citizen. Actually, the teacher replied, You dont have a right in this class especially [in an ethics class] to make homophobic comments. The student retorted that the comments were not homophobic. This is about restricting rights and liberties of individuals, he said. Because theyre homosexual, I cant have my opinions? And thats when the teacher dropped the bombshell. You can have whatever opinions you want but I will tell you right now in this class homophobic comments, racist comments, sexist comments will not be tolerated, she said. If you dont like it, you are more than free to drop this class. So the student dropped the class. via Townhall.com 
1	According to a report released this week by the Center for Global Development, climate change, the popular mid-2000s issue that raised awareness of the fact that the earth's continuous rise in temperature will have catastrophic ecological effects, has apparently not been resolved, and may still be a problem. This 2007 chart predicting rising temperatures worldwide could still possibly be worth looking at today. While several years have passed since global warming was considered the most pressing issue facing mankind, recent studies from the Center for Atmospheric Research, the National Academy of Sciences, NASA, the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, and basically any scientific report available on the issue confirmed that it is not only still happening, but might also be worth stopping. 'Global warming, if you remember correctly, was the single greatest problem of our lifetime back in 2007 and the early part of 2008,' CGD president Nancy Birdsall said. 'But then the debates over Social Security reform and the World Trade Center mosque came up, and the government had to shift its focus away from the dramatic rise in sea levels, the rapid spread of deadly infectious diseases, and the imminent destruction of our entire planet.' The new report claims we may see a return to the ominous days of 2007, when terrible flooding and storms of unprecedented scale and intensity were something mankind was concerned about. Continued Birdsall, 'Because the problem of global warming and massive environmental devastation appears to be lingering, however, the time may be right for the federal government to consider dealing with it again in some way.' According to the 300-page document, though global warmingand the worldwide homelessness and drought associated with itwas a desperate problem immediately following the release of the Academy Awardwinning documentary An Inconvenient Truth, China's undervalued currency, the midterm elections, and gay marriage have since monopolized lawmakers' time. It concludes that the likelihood of any of these matters flooding the entire Eastern Seaboard and leaving the state of Florida completely submerged is 'very slim.' The report further suggests global warming might be worth reversing, especially if mankind wants to avoid the unprecedented food shortage that an overwhelming majority of scientists and agricultural experts predict will happen within 85 years if global warming is not reversed. 'The impending disaster we talked so much about stopping back in 2007 may actually still occur, Nancy Birdsall, President, Center for Global Development 'I was a bit surprised by our findings, because I, along with the rest of my colleagues, thought that the process of fixing climate change ended soon after [2007 rock concert] Live Earth,' CGD assistant director George Oliver told reporters. 'But it turns out that the things needed to stop it, like substantive energy legislation, worldwide cooperation to reduce carbon emissions, and a massive cultural shift toward sustainable living actually didn't happen at all.' 'We kind of just assumed that the threat of total annihilation spurred everyone into action back in '07 and that everything got better,' Oliver added. Oliver said his group is making several recommendations to elected officials, some of which include fully comprehending the fact that human beingsactual human beings just like themselveswill be living on the planet when climate change begins to destroy it. The document also suggests that taking steps to prevent the earth from becoming completely unlivable should, for the moment, take precedence over tasks that do not do that. Moreover, the report states that the 192 countries that participated in the U.N.'s 2009 conference in Copenhagen to fix climate change should have used the 12-day symposium to fix climate change. 'Last year's federal budget included more than $200 million in funding for the Office of Personnel Management,' Birdsall said. 'Since nobody really knows what that is, we suggest that money perhaps be spent making sure the oceans don't turn into acid.' Thus far, the study has gained unanimous favor in the scientific community, which was admittedly surprised in 2008 and 2009 at how quickly a defining issue that will undoubtedly affect everyone on the planet became so heavily politicized and took a backseat to health care reform, the housing bubble, and replacing Jay Leno on The Tonight Show. 'Climate change is real, and we are killing our planet more every day,' said climatologist Helen Marcus, who has made similar statements in interviews in 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010. 'We need to make a serious effort to stop it, or, you know, we'll all die. There really isn't much else to say.'

1	A Sociology 101 paper on the theories of 19th-century French sociologist mile Durkheim was stretched to incorporate the 1970s British punk-rock scene, sources close to the paper's author, University of Missouri freshman Justin Hoyer, reported Monday. Hoyer works on his paper at the campus computing center. 'Justin does this all the time,' roommate Andy Avallone said. 'Any assignment he gets, he finds a way to turn it into a discussion of whatever he's into at the time. Snowboarding, old black-and-white horror movies, The Simpsons, the legalization of marijuanayou name it, he's fit it into a paper.' In his latest paper, 'No Future: U.K. Punk And The Philosophy Of mile Durkheim,' Hoyer drew heavily upon his knowledge of the music. 'The professor said we could pick any sociologist we wanted and explain how their theories related to the problems that came with the emergence of postindustrial society,' Hoyer said. 'Well, when I heard 'postindustrial,' right away I thought of '70s punk.' The first page of Hoyer's paper contains a synopsis of Durkheim's theory that the collective mind of society is the source of religion and morality. But by the middle of page twowhich begins with a discussion of Durkheim's theory that division of labor in complex societies erodes commonly held values and leads to social instability and disorientation of the individualthe paper shifts its focus to the politically charged songs of U.K. punk band Stiff Little Fingers. 'All that stuff Durkheim said about disorientation, that's exactly what the punk scene grew out of,' Hoyer said. 'It was a new generation of working-class British youth reacting to a society that was conservative and totally irrelevant in, like, so many ways. Punk had its own set of morals and values which grew out of a desire to form an alternate society. It's all in the paper.' Hoyer said he was pleased with the way the nine-page assignment turned out. 'It was pretty heavy on punk, but I figure the prof already knows all about sociology,' Hoyer said. 'Professors want to see how you apply the coursework to other things. That shows you have a true understanding of the material and aren't just blindly spitting back the stuff you heard in class.' While Hoyer did not use any works by Durkheim as source material, his bibliography included Greil Marcus' Lipstick Traces: A Secret History Of The 20th Century, Jon Savage's England's Dreaming: Anarchy, Sex Pistols, Punk Rock And Beyond, and the Legs McNeil-edited Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History Of Punk. Reasoning that professors 'get off on supplemental material,' Hoyer also included an appendix of photocopied lyrics from the landmark album Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols, several of whose songs were dissected verse by verse in the body of the paper. 'It took a long time to write, but I wanted to hand in something really good,' Hoyer said. 'This paper's got it all: Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Buzzcocks, Gang Of Four, The Adverts, The Damned, XTC, Elvis Costello, X-Ray Spex, and The Jam.' In the last five pages of the paper, Durkheim is mentioned only three timesfive less than Malcolm McLaren. 'While Justin's paper failed to include the basic fact that Durkheim pioneered the use of empirical evidence and statistical material in the study of society, it did a more than adequate job reassessing Siouxsie Sioux's oft-overlooked contributions to the development of the DIY aesthetic,' said Craig Basile, Hoyer's Sociology 101 teaching assistant. 'If only the professor had assigned the class a paper on punk rock and encouraged them to add a few thoughts on modern sociology, this would have been stellar.' Basile, who has not yet decided on a grade for Hoyer's paper, said he encourages 'thinking beyond the textbook' and has no problem with students expanding an assignment to incorporate non-traditional subjects like punk rock. He noted, however, that he 'would ideally like to see at least a 50/50 ratio.' 'Look here on page 6. This long section on the anti-societal statements punks made by wearing torn clothing and dyed hair is an obvious place to work in something about Durkheim's distinction between societies maintaining mechanical versus organic solidarity,' Basile said. 'But instead, he just keeps hammering home the same point about Malcolm McClaren's 'Sex' shop.' In Hoyer's defense, Basile acknowledged that his paper was better than most of the 200 or so rock-related papers he has received during his three years as a T.A. 'Justin's paper was, by and large, poorly argued nonsense with only the most tenuous connection to the course material,' Basile said. 'But at least he got it in on time with few spelling errors, and he did it in 12-point type with just one-inch margins. That's more than I can say for a lot of other papers. I'll probably give it a B-minus.' Though only in his second semester, Hoyer has already veered sharply from an assigned paper topic on numerous occasions. Last month, he presented his Geography 140 discussion section with a speech about his family's March 2000 trip to France. And last October, in a Political Science 160 essay exam, Hoyer illustrated the inability of states to adequately police themselves during the Articles of Confederation era with examples from Bad Lieutenant.

In an Oscars acceptance speech for best actor, he thanked God and acknowledged that his blessings have come from the Almighty. Matthew has been married to Camila Alves for three years now. Together, they have three children: Levi, Vida, and Livingston. According to McConaughey, he takes this sacred commitment very seriously. We talked about it spiritually. 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, McConaughey confessed. In the end, our understanding was, Lets go make a covenant, with you, me, and God. What do you think? Do you support McConaughey standing up for traditional marriage and vows? 
2	He Will Meet Justice: Al Sharpton Faces Jail Time Things arent looking so good for race-baiter and professional scammer Al Sharpton. Rumor has it hes set to have his passport revoked. According to reports, H.R. 22 contained a provision that authorized the State Department to revoke passports of tax-delinquent Americans who owe the IRS more than $50,000. If this bill becomes law, it will be imperative for Americans traveling abroad or living abroad to pay attention to IRS notices, David Kautter, a partner at a Washington-based accounting firm told the Wall Street Journal. The bill has passed and will officially go into law at the beginning of the year. That means that Al Sharpton, who owes millions in taxes, will likely not be leaving the United States until he figures out how to pay what he owes. At the present moment, he appears to have no intention of paying anything. In fact, Sharpton claims that the IRS is going after him for political reasons. Were talking about old taxes, he told reporters earlier this year. I think its political. Were excited to see that Al Sharpton may finally get what he has coming to him. What do you think of the new bill? 
1	Citing a need for heightened national security measures, President Bush had eight inches added to the 12-foot fence that surrounds his residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. 'The president has always been a staunch advocate of domestic security, and this brave decision says to any potential burglar that if you want to get into his house, you are going to have an extra eight inches of fence to contend with,' said White House press secretary Tony Snow at a news briefing Monday, adding that the president will also leave the television and the lights on every time he and the first lady go out. 'In addition, the president got another guard dog, and, from now on, the garage doors will always be closed.' While Snow denied rumors that the Bushes were considering moving to a safer nearby suburb, he confirmed that the new 'This White House Protected By A Homeland Security System' sign on the front lawn is indeed just a clever deterrent. 
2	Muslims Woman Refuses Cops Orders To Remove Her Hijab, And Then THIS Happens The police officer who has been a source of controversy this week for threatening to arrest a woman at a Washington D.C. library after she refused to remove her hijab is now claiming that he mistook the head covering for a hoodie. It appeared to be a hoodie, D.C. Public Library Officer Timothy Craggette told The Washington Post on Wednesday. It was not a religious hat that I know. She didnt have that. I asked her to take her hoodie off and told her: If youre not going to take it off, you have to leave. So I pulled out my handcuffs and then she got up and she left. Craggette went on to explain that he would recognize a hijab, given that he has Muslim neighbors. Most people will tell you theyre Muslim and say, I cant remove my hat, he continued. She didnt claim that. He also argued that his actions were a common practice in libraries for safety reasons and the ability to identify those entering. But according to D.C. Public Library spokesman George Williams, The library does not have a policy preventing wearing hoodies in the library. No one should have to feel like she felt, Williams continued. One witness, who saw the incident take place, also claims that Craggette was in the wrong. It was very clear that she was wearing hijab, Jessica Raven commented, describing the scene as a blatant act of discrimination. I was within a foot of the woman who was harassed, Raven continued. All I heard was he started asking her to take off her hijab. My jaw dropped. The man next to her spoke up, but the officer continued to harass her. Raven claims that the woman then stormed off and did not want to report the incident. Craggette has since been removed from the library, pending an investigation. What do you think of Craggettes actions? Was he just trying to do his job or did he take things too far? 
2	Tom Selleck Puts Everything On The Line To Expose THIS About Obama Over the past few years, actor Tom Selleck has become somewhat of a conservative icon, known for freely expressing his views. One of the issues that Selleck has been most vocal about is the Obama Administrations lack of respect for the military. Selleck served in the military from 1967 to 1973. During that time, he rose to a Sergeant ranking. Most of my peer group that I told you about, more thanat least five of them are dead, Selleck remembered. Some died young, some died wasted. Smart, two of the smartest guys that were in that little group of mineWasted life. Selleck went on to explain that he wishes that the government would have work to support what they were fighting for. What do you think? Do you support Tom Selleck? 
3	The Power Behind The ThroneBy Susan Boskey Could anyone actually miss that the United States is in a presidential election cycle? I dont think so. As November draws closer, the election of a new president consumes more of the news and more our conscious awareness. People protest, and are concerned about how the next president, his/her ideas and power, will affect the course of history. Yet, all the while, the true monopolistic power thrives behind the throne, unnoticed and unprotested. The banking industry acts as if it is but a humble service industry (financial services industry), while actually the master system of all American systems, political, educational, environmental, agricultural, health, and legal. It hopes you never peek behind the curtain to discover who really pulls the strings. In 2009, I wrote about the Use-Cash Movement in the United States founded by small-business owner Chaz Valenza. However now, with swiping to pay for most everything, using cash shifts increasingly to an old school approach. Whats more, as we speak, banks are exploring ways to end cash use altogether. A May 2, 2016 Bloomberg article, Inside the Secret Meeting Where Wall Street Tested Digital Cash, reveals a new development in moving towards a cashless society. So why all the secrecy? On a recent Monday in April, more than 100 executives from some of the worlds largest financial institutions gathered for a private meeting at the Times Square office of Nasdaq Inc. They werent there to just talk about blockchain, the new technology some predict will transform finance, but to build and experiment with the software. The event, put on by a San Francisco company, Chain, is one of many start-up software companies determined to digitally transform the monetary system. Their spin? Cash transactions take precious time to process while digital transactions are instant. And in a world where credit access has conditioned the consumer mind to expect instant gratification, a digital monetary system appears to be a likely next step. Butbut.but What about choice? What about the personal privacy cash provides? Fugetabout it! Just more old-school silliness, right? I like to share the Barnum and Bailey Circus analogy: If you want popcorn while under the big top and it costs $15.00, you have no choice but to pay the price. The banking industry, also, has become the only game in town; those who own the gold make the rules and so rule the world, in my opinion, including the President of the United States. However, the same voluminous intensity of emotions, protests and assertions over potential presidents is nowhere to be found. For some reason most people simply go along, are not paying attention, are too incredulous to do their own research, or only mention the sacrilege of a ruling monetary system in hushed tones. This may never change but just in case; here are some of personal benefits of keeping cash alive. Though using cash is just one small response to a behemoth debt-based and often predatory banking industry, the personal benefits alone, including greater peace of mind, make it well worth the effort. Imagine: We no longer made purchases we dont need, with money we do not have to impress people who do not really care about us. If more people were willing to make a habit of using cash despite the convenience of digital transactions, we not only could strengthen our own money-management skills towards building real wealth, but also send a message to those who own the gold. Any system which gives so much power and so much discretion to a few men, (so) that mistakes excusable or not can have such far reaching effects, is a bad system. It is a bad system to believers in freedom just because it gives a few men such power without any effective check by the body politic this is the key political argument against an independent central bank To paraphrase Clemenceau: money is much too serious a matter to be left to the Central Bankers.

2	Obama Slaps Widow And 4 Year Old Son Of Fallen Military Hero In The Face With SICKENING Move At Heros Funeral President Obama likes to pretend that he cares about our men and women in uniform, but time and time again he is proving otherwise. For example, when six United States soldiers were killed by a suicide attack in Afghanistan just before Christmas, President Obama said nothing. Thousands of uniformed police and military officers took to the streets of New York to pay tribute to one of the victims, an NYPD detective and Air National Guardsman Technical Sgt. Joseph G. Lemm. Still, Obama stayed silent. He also ignored the heartbreaking moment when Lemms 4-year-old son moaned Daddy, Daddy! at Lemms funeral. The child repeatedly kept going over to the casket, touching it and crying, until a man dressed in NYPD uniform picked up the bawling boy, held him close to his chest and hugged and comforted him, the New York Post reported. Lemms widow and stepdaughter were also present. What do you think? Are you tired of Obama picking and choosing the incidents he cares about? This is outrageous. 
2	Hillary Panicking After Trump Leaks This Career Ending Footage [VIDEO] Donald Trump and his campaign managers have never been afraid to target Hillary Clinton directly, but it appears they are kicking things up a notch following recent polls that showed Hillary in the lead for the presidency. This week, Trump released a brutal new video exposing Clinton for the criminal that she is. The advertisement makes it clear that America has become less safe under Barack Obama, and Clinton would only continue to make our country more vulnerable. America is far less safe, and the world is far less safe than when Obama made the decision to put Hillary Clinton in charge of Americas foreign policy, Trump is heard saying at the beginning of the ad. The commercial then continues on with a montage of acts of terror, including the recent attacks in Orlando, Brussels and Nice. America today is stronger at home and more respected in the world, Clinton is shown claiming, when clearly there is an abundance of evidence to speaking to the contrary. What do you think? Does Clinton need to be kept far away from the White House? 
3	Victim Disarmament Zone: Apartment Management Firm Prohibits Residents From Owning Firearms and WeaponsMac Slavo All of a sudden you receive a memo from your management company or Homeowners Association advising you of a policy change that you can no longer own a weapon if you live on the property. As an American youd likely be surprised at such a note in your mailbox, especially considering that the fundamental law of the land gives you the right to own a firearm or weapon for self defense. But this is exactly what happened to tenants of the Oakwood apartment complex in Castle Rock, Colorado. As of October 1, 2013, residents of the apartments have been told that they can no longer display, use or possess any firearms. Im a hunter. Im a licensed conceal and carry person, Dorsch said to the news channel. That didnt matter to the apartment manager who wants to create a mini-Chicago. A handwritten note on the typed letter reads The manager said no licenced [sic] concealed is allowed either. It upsets me very much, Dorsch said. The Ross Management Group, which operates Oakwood Apartments and thirty other properties, refused a public response on the new guidelines, stating that its their policy not to comment to the news media. According to a legal analyst for 9New Castle Rock, in most cases the courts have supported the rights of landlords to support reasonable regulations on tenants. The best thing this tenant can do is either move out or get rid of the guns. The question is, is an outright ban on firearms reasonable in light of the U.S. Constitution? As one commentator noted, would it be reasonable for a landlord to restrict a tenant from voting, or voting for a particular political party? Or, could a landlord restrict a tenant from speaking their mind under first amendment protections? Could a landlord dictatate to a tenant what religion he or she can practice? Or can a tenant be forced to provide access to law enforcement officials or the apartment landlords for warrantless searches of their home? Its one thing if you agree to live in a gun free zone prior to moving into your home or apartment (and even that is a bit sketchy). But here we have people who have lived in their residences for month or years now being told they can no longer own a firearm to protect themselves. And to be clear, no actual reason was given for the new regulation just a this is how it is, do it or get out. Rather than disarming citizens, we should be empowering them to deter crime, just like the Armed Citizen Project which is doing just that one free shotgun at a time. Mac Slavos many articles can be found on his website SHTFplan.com, where this article first appeared. linkwithin_text=Related Articles:

It totally makes sense, said classmate Sarah McGreevy, who minutes earlier had witnessed Daniel getting into his mothers car in the faculty parking lot. They have the same last name and kind of have the same hair. Plus, Ryan said he saw a picture of her when he was playing Xbox at Daniels house. Its got to be true. Fellow classmates have reportedly already begun speculating that the reason Daniel isnt in his mothers class is because shed probably give him all As. 
3	Western Media Celebrates Faux Progress in MyanmarTony Cartalucci Myanmars recent pivot from China toward the West, and a more open government, came as a surprise to many outsiders. In rapid succession, President Thein Seins government suspended the $3.6-billion Chinese-built Myitsone hydroelectric project, held nominally free elections and released political prisoners, including opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The Times also categorically fails to mention who was really behind the derailment of the Myanmar-Chinese Myitsone hydroelectric project. Of course, each weighed in on the proposed dam, and each portrayed it as having a negative social and environmental impact on Kachin State. US-based International Rivers hailed the halting of construction as a huge success for civil society groups in Burma, China and internationally, while NED-created Irrawaddy solemnly reported in 2008, Irrawaddy Dam Construction Begins, Human Rights Abuses Begin, where the article bemoans Chinas investments in Myanmar before citing a single, anonymous witness who claims soldiers providing security for the construction site are disrupting people as proof of human rights abuses. The Irrawaddy also makes reference to the Kachin Environmental Organization, a founding member of the above mentioned Burma River Network, who in turn has dedicated entire sections of their website to chastising all dam construction within Myanmar. Aung San Suu Kyihas well played a leading role protesting and ultimately halting the construction of the Myitsone Dam. The Western-funded International Rivers reported, Aung San Suu Kyi Joins the Campaign to Save the Irrawaddy, while the NED-created Irrawaddy paper reported, Suu Kyi Attends Save the Irrawaddy Art Event. Open Public Protests (As Long as they are Against China) The LA Times also celebrates what it calls increasingly open, public protests. However, these are only protests against Chinese interests in Myanmar. And while these open public protests take place with the full backing of the West and its media monopolies, with any attempt to crackdown on them decried as an assault on human rights, the Wests own proxies are slaughtering Rohingya refugees by the dozens with little or no serious action taking place. In its article, Suu Kyi demands apology for mine violence, the Bangkok Post reported that: Opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has demanded an apology for monks hurt in a violent police crackdown at a Chinese copper mine protest, after she held talks with the two sides. The monks, of course, form the foundation of Suu Kyis so-called pro-democracy movement, as well as theleading front carrying out genocidal violence against Myanmars Rohingya population. Suu Kyis recent demand for an apology stands in stark contrast to her habitual silence over the plight of the Rohingya. The common denominator behind this consistent hypocrisy is the targeting of Chinese interests across the country. In fact, Suu Kyis silent complicity with the genocide of the Rohingya is not mere double standards. The violence her supporters are creating as they exterminate the Rohingya serves to deliberately destabilize yet another epicenter of Chinese interests, its port and logistical hub in Sittwe, Rakine, and pipeline and road it is constructing across Myanmar and into Yunnan province, China. While it may be argued that Chinas relationship with Myanmar falls short on many fronts, it is assured that Myanmars new relationship with the insidious, manipulative interests of Wall Street and London, the heirs of the imperialists who subjugated Myanmar so many years ago will, set new a new standard for exploitation, destitution, disparity, and subjugation especially as the West attempts to array Myanmar along with its other Southeast Asian neighbors against China to fight its proxy war with Beijing well into the 21st century. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	3 Things To Prepare For No Matter Which Candidate Wins the ElectionBy Isaac Davis The deep state machinery that controls our national destiny is much more powerful than the titular figurehead of the republic, which is why electoral debates will not address the fundamental issues driving us deeper into chaos, for the candidates are just as trapped as we are. The wheels are already in motion for major hits to national and global stability, and whomever you choose to vote for, if you care to vote at all, prudence and common sense should compel you to prepare for what is unfolding behind the scenes of the election distraction. 1.) More Civil Unrest In the last couple of years America has seen a drastic increase in civil unrest, protests, rioting and lawlessness. At present most of this is centered around the crimes of an increasingly callous and dangerous formof policing; yet as each new protest devolves into a riot, the specter of broader ideological and racial divisions among the populace are stoked by controlling interests such as George Soros, which means that violence will become more commonplace. Preparation for civil unrest begins with the recognition that anything can happen anywhere at anytime, and one must abandon the tendency to ignore their surroundings carrying on as if this were business as usual. Self defense is still a right in America, but it does no good unless you seek out basic skills, tools, and situational awareness to protect yourself from mob violence. For those whove already found themselves embroiled in recent riots, the need for having a plan for sheltering in place, bugging out, or defending life and property is already very real. 2.) Another Economic Crisis The electoralcandidatesspeak of the economy in only the most artificial and superficial terms, yet the reality remains that we are frighteningly beholden to international bankers who manipulate global currencies to enrich themselves and enslave us in debt. Crisis has been brewing for decades, and after the 2008 shock the Federal Reserve and U.S. government have been steady at the helm pumping tax dollars into criminal banks, inflating the currency with quantitative easing and gutting the economy. In 2016, we are now again on the brink of another banking crisis, and as key U.S. economic data are scheduled to be released in October, just prior to the election, many financial reporters and pundits are giving warnings that another big shock is coming soon. Preparedness for economic calamity is a serious challenge for most middle-class workers and families who are in tremendous debt and have very little liquidity; however, as the crisis will no doubt involve the collapse of banks and investment institutions, basic preparedness can be as simple as having cash on hand, savings spread out among credible banks, ideas for alternate income streams, and buffer supplies of essentials such as healthy storable food, gardens, water, medicines, energy, and first aid. 3.) The Very Real Possibility of a Third World War By far the most under-reported and misrepresented crisis looming in our world at presentis the dangerously real possibility that the situation in the Middle East, especially Syria, will escalate into an outright declaration of war between the U.S. and Russia. The U.S. government appears to be making this inevitable. If world war were to break out, the American population would have to decide if this is a cause worth fighting and dying for, and respond accordingly. Preparedness for something of this magnitude is as much spiritual as it is physical because not only would this send the economy into a tailspin and invite even greater civil unrest, we the people will be directed to turn our lives over to the establishment in pursuit of their geo-political aims. For a truthful look at how and why this is happening, see the following video presentation from Syrian Girl who has for years been reporting on events in the Middle East. Neither of the two major candidates will come close to giving certain subjects their due diligence because their role is to distract us from critical issues bykeeping us focused on superficial topics and helping us to avoid truth by dispatchinglogic and common sense. Yet, as sovereign, empowered people, we are called on to prepare for these eventualities regardless of which candidate takes office. Read more articles byIsaac Davis.

That America will be edged even closer to the precipice of moral depravity destruction. Regardless whos elected, America loses and has been losing ever since the constitutional framers usurped Yahwehs exclusive election authority (Deuteronomy 17:15) and turned elections 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?

2	DONT STOP SHARING: Officer Shot Down, Dies On Camera... This Is Why Police Cant Hesitate In the past year, Americans have seen a one-sided story of police violence being told in the liberal media. But another video explains just what officers are up against, when they are forced to make the most difficult decision of their liveswhether or not to fire on a suspect who might try to kill them The wrong choice can impact your life forever, and hesitation can rob you of your life altogether. Thats why its important for the American public to understand the story of Kyle Dinkheller. Dinkheller was a 22-year-old deputy with the Laurens County Sheriffs Department in Georgia. In 1998, he was killed in the line of duty. The incident was captured on video, ad the footage has been used in police training for a decade and a half. Dinkheller pulled over Andrew Howard Brannan for going 100 miles an hour in a Georgia town. This stop was initially uneventful. Brannan exited his vehicle willingly, and greeted the officer. Shortly thereafter, Brannan put his hands in his pockets. Dinkheller politely asked him to keep his hands in plain sight. Thats when things went wrong. Brannan quickly became agitated, demanding that Dinkheller shoot him. Thats when Dinkheller radioed for backup, and was rushed by Brannan. He used his baton to keep Brannan from reaching him, and he returned to his Toyota pickup truck. Brannan returned with an M1 carbine rifle. Dinkheller was ultimately shot 9 times, with a final fatal 10th shot to his eye. Two years later, Brannan was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death. He was executed just last year by lethal injection. While awaiting his execution, Brannan was asked why he killed the deputy. Because he let me, he responded. This is why officers need to act quickly when confronted with a suspect who is disobeying orders. 
3	Life Purpose, Longer LifeHeather Callaghan Regardless of your age, feeling a sense of purpose for being alive a lifes purpose or calling can help you live longer, according to research published in Psychological Science. And the good news isit doesnt matter when you find it. Lead researcher Patrick Hill of Carleton University in Canada, said: Some previous studies determined that finding a purpose in life lowered the risk of early death, but Hill wonderedabout research examining whether the benefits of purpose vary over time, such as across different developmental periods or after important life transitions. He and colleague Nicholas Turiano of the University of Rochester Medical Center explored, by using data available from the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study and looked at over 6,000 participants. They focused on those peoples self-reported purpose in life (e.g., Some people wander aimlessly through life, but I am not one of them). Greater purpose in life consistently predicted lower mortality risk across the lifespan, showing the same benefit for younger, middle-aged, and older participants across the follow-up period. The consistent results made Hill remark: Now the researchers want to know if there is a connection between a lifes purpose and making better health decisions. Could that further account for longevity? And, aside from having a longer life span, theyd like to see if this whole life purpose thing has other effects on a persons life. Two years ago, a similar study found that a life purpose could protect people from negative changes in the brain that are seen in Alzheimers patients. So it appears that the biological effects of a lifes purpose are cataloged by at least two studies. It turns out, Ive written about Dr. Turianos research before. He used the same data from the 6,000 participants of the MIDUS study. To recap, he found that higher education had nothing to do with a longer life. Its the ability to live life on your own terms the feeling of control over your own life. Interestingly, a different study found that the belief of steering your own ship, so to speak, led to greater physical grip in elderly people. Do people take enough time to figure it out or develop that calling? Its easy not to with weapons of mass distraction everywhere. I think it takes time as a result of doing, but also with some reflection. Just for further readings sake, you might appreciate what the author of Modern Madness: The Hidden Link Between Work and Emotional Conflict has to say about this study and findingyour lifes purpose. He expounds on it at HuffingtonPost. Of course, there are countless writings on the topic All in all, I think each person, deep down, truly knows! Maybe its just a matter of doing more of what youre passionate about and putting your personal mission statement into words on paper as a reminder. You tell me: do you have a lifes purpose and how did you find it? Has it made your life better? Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist.

3	Trans-Pacific Partnership Treaty May Not Have the Votes to PassBy Joshua Krause Despite the fact that the establishment has been able to keep this treacherous agreement secret for several years, the public is now becoming fully aware of it. You can almost feel their anxiety as support for it slowly evaporates. Theyre clearly worried about the success of their treaty, and it shows. The US Senate is currently slated to vote on a bill that would allow Obama to fast-track the treaty, thus preventing Congress from amending the agreement at a later date. These corporations want this treaty set in stone now, before it loses even more support. However, it may be too late for them. While there is a lot of support for TPP in the halls of government, it may not be enough, and there appears to be growing fear and resentment over the treaty that crosses party lines. Orrin Hatch, the Republican from Utah and the Senates generalissimo on the TPP question, gave a revealing interview to the Financial Times over the weekend. If Obama doesnt get more Democrats behind fast-track very, very quickly, Part 1 of this undertaking is instantly in doubt. As Hatch explained, at the moment there are too many Tea Party defectors on the right side of the aisle and too few Democrats willing to vote the bill forward. He seemed to suggest that it would be easier for Obama to cajole Democrats to get behind fast track than it would be to budge the Tea Party resisters. Thats interesting by itself. Democrats are in for a rolling barrage of anti-TPP protest from constituencieslabor, the greens, civil society groups, the progressive wingthat matter at election time. If Democratic lawmakers are the best bet to push through fast track, the only word weve got for this is, Whoa! And thats only one roadblock this treaty needs to overcome. The TPP is international in scope, which means it needs the support of all nations involved if it wants to have any teeth. But it looks like the TPP is facing even more resistance in Japan than it is in the United States. The Japanese leader couldnt even deliver on imports of autos and farm products during his talks with Obama last week. These were stale, intractable trade issues when I arrived in Tokyo as a correspondent in 1987. We havent yet got even this stuff off the table? The TPPs outlook in Japan is upside down from ours. U.S. corporations are thoroughly behind the pacthaving helped write many parts of it, after all. But big Japanese blue chipsmakers of cars, consumer electronics, and machineryare the core of the export sector and see nothing in the TPP other than unwelcome competition. Flip this over and you have the weak side of Japan: rice and produce farmers and underdeveloped industrial sectors such as drugs and financial services. Long the beneficiaries of protectionist regulation (and generous supporters of the governing Liberal Democrats), these constituencies are also against the TPPthe farmers very vigorously. Now you can hear Abes message to Obama for what it was: Hes very unlikely to deliver on the TPPand whether he cant or doesnt want to is among the interesting questions he left behind last week. Well have to see which it is. The US appears to have plenty of corporate support while lacking the enthusiasm of the legislative branch, while Japan has these roles reversed. If the two largest economies in this treaty are struggling to convince their politicians and corporations to go along with it, then it may be dead in the water. Good riddance.

3	Secret TPP NegotiationsAnd Public ProtestsTo Be Held in New York CityMaira Sutton As with many previous TPP meetings, the public will be shut out of talks as negotiators convene behind closed doors to decide binding rules that could impact how our lawmakers set digital policy in the decades to come. Big content industry interests have been given privileged access to negotiating texts and have driven the US Trade Representatives mandate when it comes to copyrightwhich is why the TPP carries extreme copyright measures that ignore users rights. Some claim that this could be the final official round of TPP negotiations. The White House and Congressional lawmakers are now hard at work to pass a law to fast track this agreement and other secretive deals through Congress to ratification. Fast Track, also known as trade promotion authority (TPA) would transfer Congress power over trade policy to the President, by preventing them from debating or modifying the terms of trade deals after international negotiations are finalized. The countries negotiating TPP with the US are willing to give in and agree to bad copyright rules as long as they get the other gains they were promisedthings like market access and lowered tariffs so they can sell their products to US consumers. But those other countries will not budge without a guarantee that the overwhelming public opposition to the agreement wont prevent its adoption in the United States. Fast Track offers that guarantee; thats one reason the White House is now desperate to pass it. Several public interest groups are organizing a protest outside the luxury Sheraton Hotel this Monday, January 26 at noon. Many of those demonstrating will be there to oppose other provisions in the TPP, but we encourage people to be there to represent all the users around the world who will be impacted by this massive agreements draconian policies. If you are not in the New York area, take action now by signing this petition to Sen. Ron Wyden, calling on him to stand up for digital rights and oppose any new Fast Track bill. You can also give him your message directly by phoning his office at (202) 224-5244. If you have already signed the petition, contact your elected representatives and let them know that you want them to oppose Fast Track for TPP and any other secret deals that put users rights at risk.

1	Speaking up on behalf of his six-person group at Morries Tavern & Grill Tuesday evening, software engineer Bradley McCray reportedly took it upon himself to order a wide selection of appetizers totaling approximately $40. Yeah, lets get two loaded potato skins, a plate of habanero poppers, and a few baskets of chips and guac for the table, McCray was overheard telling the waitress, neglecting to consult the other members of his party before committing them to the large assortment of pre-dinner fare. Are the regular or chipotle hot wings better? You know, how about you just bring us one of each? And were also gonna start off with a pitcher of strawberry margaritas to share. At press time, the rest of the table was watching helplessly as McCray asked to see the dessert menu. 
2	Liberal Activist Susan Sarandon Goes SHIRTLESS At The SAG Awards, Oh The Irony... Susan Sarandon took the stage at the SAG awards to talk about stars that had passed away recently. However, what really caught the crowds attention was the fact that she wasnt wearing a shirt. Instead, she was sporting an open blazer and black bra, giving a whole new meaning to the word SAG. She began her speech by saying, My dear friend David Bowie once said: All clichs are true. The years really do speed by. Life really is as short as they tell you it is. Those words resonate when weve lost someone who made a special impact on us. So now lets pause to remember some of the actors whose earthly voices have been silenced, but whose brilliance and creativity still speak in the unforgettable work theyve left behind, she said. We cant take anything she says seriously. Just recently she was defending her stance on the Second Amendment. The right to bear arms was referring to muskets. Maybe its time to re-think our gun policy on this day of slaughter in Colorado. We dont even know what to say to that. Do you think Susan Sarandon is insane? 
3	Defense Department Seeks Legal Authority to Deploy Reservists onto American StreetsSusanne Posel, Contributor The Posse Comitatus Act, Section 1385, states that only under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress can a military presence on American streets be permitted. Yet, if the Defense Department has their way, a new authorization act will give them the power to order the armed forces to be used against the American public. Air Force reservists are slated to be the new response team for domestic disturbances. Disseminated from Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) and other reserve agencies, these men and women could be called to be first responders to natural disasters within the United States. The legislation would extend mobilizations for indeterminate periods of time. The AFRC affirms that reservists are traditionally not used in homeland disaster response. The governors of individual states can request the National Guards assistance during a natural disaster when local law enforcement becomes overwhelmed. Because of the specialized training that reservists are given in dealing with disasters, the US government has decided they would be perfect as a first response team. Earlier this month, in Crookston, Minnesota, there were armed US National Guardsmen that were patrolling a residential neighborhood . These functions are called urban operations training where military personnel carry armed weapons with the command not to utilize armory or pyrotechnics. Within the Air Force Reserve, there are other specialized units such as response personnel, supplies and equipment focused on disaster scenarios. As recent as 2008 saw our National Guard unit in America under NORTHCOM as domestic security. Stenner proclaims that this new authority will allow the armed forces to make greater contributions to Americans should there be a natural disaster. He is referring to the frustration chiefs of reservists experience because they are unable to help their communities. The push for over-reaching authority allocated to the armed forces will negate local reservists purpose by Title 10, which gives them federal power that supersedes state authority in Title 32. Armed Forces chiefs claim that there were reserve-component Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines who were close at hand with the capabilities needed, but they didnt have the authority to act, said Army Lt. Gen. Jack C. Stultz, chief of Army Reserve. Finally, we got the law changed. This new legislation says that now we can use Title 10 reserves. Without a declaration of emergency or disaster from the President, these armed forces could not act. With this new ability, they can . . . whenever and for whatever purpose they are ordered to. The law specifies that local law enforcement is still mandated to provide initial response; yet if needed, the National Guard will become the first step requested by a state governor. And then there is the matter of a scenario that allows reservists to be deployed for a promised 120 days, which could be extended based upon request. We just have to make sure we have the procedures and processes worked out, Stultz remarked about the specifics that are now being worked out to avoid confusion of authority later on. Stultz is very anxious to have this power at his fingertips. Lets not wait until a hurricane hits to say, How do we do it? These reservists are going to be the response team for any future (and assured) overseas contingencies. As operations in the Middle East are winding down, Stultz can now refocus his attention on militarizing America. Susanne Posel is the Chief Editor of Occupy Corporatism.

3	Anonymity: The Greatest Weapon Against OppressionBy Learn Liberty I sign my real name to my comments because I take responsibility for my place as a citizen in the community of my countries government . We already have enough phony politicians like our anonymous president. When I use a nickname it means nothing at this website and others as they still monitor my comments and time censor my input. Anonymous nicknaming is a sham anyway in this time of global warfare as the NSA and other intelligence agencies know who you are and share your data at the fusion center with the international corporate elite. The phone company helps to identify you as well as your doctor, grocer, library, your favorite stores, the US mail and any group that asks for your social security number. Very brave of you Paul. Hope it serves you and your country well. but you might not know that anonymity is also a quintessential part of our functioning democracy. I cannot take anything you say seriously because you do not even seem to know that the USA is NOT a democracy. She has never been a democracy, nor will she ever be one. Remember those documents the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution? James Madison, Father of the Constitution, argued that in a pure democracy, there is nothing to check the inducement to sacrifice the weaker party or an obnoxious individual. Delegate Edmund Randolph agreed with Madison, saying: In tracing these evils to their origin, every man had found it in the turbulence and follies of democracy. John Adams added: Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. In our nation, the US Constitution and each states Constitution are the governments they define them, they assign the duties to a branch or to an office within a branch. The US Constitution is the supreme LAW of this land that all who serve within our governments state and federal are Oath bound to. Each states Constitution is the highest LAW of that state except in the few instances where it might conflict with the US Constitution. The people who SERVE WITHIN our governments state and federal have no power or authority on their own. Instead they are ALLOWED to use the authority of the branch or named office within a branch for as long as they keep the contract (US Constitution, state Constitution) that they are under, take and KEEP the Oath. Everything that those who serve within our government has the authority to act for us as our representatives is in writing. Easy to verify, easy to know if it really is a power that they may use. If a duty or power is assigned to an office or branch, or split up to two different offices (such as treaties must made by the president and 3/4s of the Senate to be lawful and binding on the American people, the USA) then it is forbidden to any other branch or person/office/agency within a branch to use that power (ex: ALL legislation must be created by those that serve within the House of Representatives and the Senate in order to be binding on the American people if made by any other then those, it is binding on those who serve within government only). Alexander Hamilton: The only constitutional exception to the power of making treaties is, that it shall not change the Constitution On natural principles, a treaty, which should manifestly betray or sacrifice primary interests of the state, would be null. Thomas Jefferson: In giving to the President and Senate a power to make treaties, the Constitution meant only to authorize them to carry into effect, by way of treaty, any powers they might constitutionally exercise. Alexander Hamilton: a treaty cannot be made which alters the Constitution or which infringes any express exceptions to the power of the Constitution of the United States. James Madison, Federalist 45: The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal The US Constitution is a very short document, and all should be reading it. Then if you hate to read, look up comments made by the framers, the founders, the debates creating the Constitution so that you will never have someone tell you a lie about what the American government is again. State Constitutions tend to be a bit longer. /rolls eyes Democracy is mob rule. There are People who Know that a Persons Beliefs and their Experiences Influence them, and the Founding Fathers were Influenced by these things with how they wrote the Constitution. The Founding Fathers were People who Believed that Humans were Created by God. They Believed what the Bible says, and that Bible Principles are what lead to Peace, Prosperity, and Liberty, and the Founding Fathers were Motivated to Safeguard Americans from the bad Experiences of what happened in Europe. They Knew that Gravity is Invisible to Humans and yet it is Real, and they Believed in the Invisible Devil and his Invisible Demons, and most of the times they were able to Discern the difference between what is Human imperfection, and those who had the behavior of what was reflected by a Person who was in League with the Devil. The Founding Fathers did Not want to compel anyone to believe what they did, because they viewed such behavior to be a Characteristic of the Evil Devil, and that is why they Correctly wanted Freedom of Belief and Freedom of Speech. They Believed that certain parts of the World would at times become Controlled by the Invisible Demons who Hate Humans, and that these Invisible Demons could even become the Real Rulers or Shadow Government of a Country, because the Invisible Demons are the Masters of Every Type of Trickery and Deception, and they have Far Superior Intellect and Knowledge and Experience, to that of Humans, and they Can and they Do Easily Deceive People. This is why they wrote the Constitution to Protect Americans from the threat of an Evil Tyrannical Government, because they Knew what was Necessary to create a Dictatorship in America, and because Corruption is Forbidden by the Constitution, then the Devil could Not create a Dictatorship in America, and so the Devil left America and went to make Wars and Troubles and Sufferings in others parts of the World. The Founding Fathers saw the Bad results of what happened in Europe, and they said among themselves that they did Not want the Invisible Demons to create an Evil Tyrannical Government in America. They Believed that as long as the Elected Representatives were Determined to Obey the Constitution, then the Devil would Flee from America and go to some other part of the World, where the Invisible Devil and his Invisible Demons would cause Wars and Misery and Sufferings. The Founding Fathers were able to Understand the Proper and Vital Prohibitions Needed to be placed on Elected Representatives by means of the Constitution, along with the Guarantee of certain Inalienable Rights for the Citizens in order to Protect Americas Government from coming under the Control of the Invisible Devil, which would make it an Evil Tyrannical Government. The Proper and Vital Prohibitions were certain Wrong Attitudes and certain Evil Behaviors, regardless of what People Believe, because Most People Know the difference between what is Wrong and what is Right, and some of these are mentioned as the Inalienable Rights of the Citizens. It is my Unbiased opinion based on Much Observation over several decades that Hillary Clinton is a Deliberately Lawless and Evil Person and a Hardened Liar and a Malicious Slanderer and a Traitor who does Not like the Constitution, and I think that Hillary Clinton became a Secret Devil Worshipper after she became Good Friends with the Marxist Communist Saul Alinsky who dedicated his book to the Devil, because it came to him under Demonic inspiration, and that Unprincipled book is called Rules for Radicals, and it contains the Devils Unprincipled and Deceptive Tactics and Methods for those who are Unprincipled. We Know that WikiLeaks says that Hillary Clinton likes the methods of the Devil, and one of methods is to infiltrate the Christian Church, and which is described in verse 4 of the Book of Jude, and she suggested that Senator Sanders could be an atheist, because Atheism is a Trait of Dictators, and the Devil is a Hardened and Compulsive Liar and a Malicious Slanderer, and Hillary Clinton is a Liar and a Slanderer with public and Private positions, and I think that Tim Kaine is similar to Hillary Clinton in many ways, and Saul Alinsky would have advised Hillary Clinton to make False promises to Catholics, and Saul Alinsky would have advised Hillary Clinton that if she became President, that she should suspend the Constitution, and then she would take the Catholic Churchs Money to pay for her failed Marxist Socialism and other bad policies, because the People Cannot pay more Taxes and the Elites will Not give one cent, even though they Received Trillions of Dollars in Government Subsides rather than being allowed to go Bankrupt by Free Enterprise Rules, and this shows that the Elites Prefer that American goes Bankrupt and worker lose their jobs rather than having a Free Enterprise Economy that give People Employment, and we Know that Senator Sanders went to the Vatican during the Democratic Party Primaries, and we Know that there are Many Catholics south of the Mexican border with America. There are People who think that America is a Marxist Socialist Country, because it does Not have Regulated Free Enterprise with Free and Fair Competition, and that Crony Capitalism with no borders and NAFTA and the Trans Pacific Partnership is the way to Create the Equivalent of an overly Marxist Socialist Economy, while making it look like America has a job Creating Free Enterprise Economy. The result of Marxism is Not to create prosperity, even if everyone is working, but it is to Control People, because the Government has a Monopoly on Every Industry, and Inefficient Industries receive Subsidies with Taxes, and Most and possibly All Industries under Marxist Communism are Inefficient because they are Government owned Monopolies, and they do Not have Free and Fair Competition which can Only come from Private Ownership of Industries, but Marxist Industries Constantly Need Taxpayer Funded Subsidies to support them, but High Taxes Impoverishes the Citizens so that they do not have the money to buy from these Marxist Industries, and the Marxist Economy eventually collapses, and this is why Marxism Cannot created Prosperity, but Only Subsistence for the Many and Immense Wealth for the few Clintonite type Elites, and yet there are some Public Service Industries that the Government must Fund and Manage for good reasons, and the Police is one of several examples of this. There Must be Sufficient and the Correct amount of Government Spending, which is a Proper Role for Government, which can be called Proper Socialism or Proper Government Spending in the Economy, because the Salaries of the Representatives are a Government Funded job Creation scheme, even as with the Police, who could Not make a profit unless there was so much crime in America that America became a Third World Country, but the Police are there to prevent crime and to prevent America from becoming a Third World Country, and so the Police have to be Funded with Taxpayers Money, which benefits the Taxpayers and the rest of the Community, and that is one of many examples of what can be defined as Good Socialism, or Good Government Spending, or a Proper Role for Government, because it is an Investment in the Economy, and a job Creation scheme, and there should Not be any corrupt or incompetent Public Servants, or too many overpaid Public Servants for a Good Economy. The Founding Fathers Believed that the Invisible Devil wants America to be a Socialist Atheist Dictatorship, and this is why they Wrote the Constitution to Preserve Security, Prosperity, and Liberty, and History Proves Every time, that it is Regulated Free Enterprise with Free and Fair Competition that Creates a Society that has No Unemployment and that is Prosperous, and that can Afford Strong National Defenses, and where Citizens are More Law Abiding and pay lower taxes, because Most People have jobs and are looking after themselves, and do Not have to be criminals or do Not want to be criminals, but the Clintonite Crony Capitalists want to make America an Impoverished Third World Country with High Unemployment and High Taxes with much crime, so that they can Increase their Dictatorship, and Please the KKK who like to put Black People in Jail, and Hillary Clinton called Democratic Party Senator who was in the KKK her Mentor and Friend, and the Clintonite Dictators want to be Extremely Wealthy at the Expense of the American People. I think that Hillary Nixon Clinton Barack Obama set up, and Secretly Recorded him after he won the Nobel Peace Prize, because Hillary Clinton did Not like that he became the Democratic Party nominee in 2008, and she wanted to be the Real Secret President, and she used Dirty Tricks and Electoral Fraud and Slander to Undemocratically Prevent Senator Sanders from being the Democratic Party nominee, and Hillary Clinton has been Blackmailing Barack Obama to be her Puppet to do the Evil Things that he has done for Hillary Clinton in Syria, Libya, Honduras, and Elsewhere, and we Know that Barack Obama was Not able to prevent Hillary Clinton from having a Secret Unauthorized Clandestine Unsecured Treasonous Private Email Server, even though Barack Obama had Full Knowledge of it, and this is because Barack Obama is Hillary Clintons Puppet. This is why they said that the Price of Liberty is Eternal Vigilance. The Founding Fathers said that it was Not Necessary for Elected Representatives to be Christians, but there were certain Corrupt things that they were Forbidden from doing by the American Constitution along with the Ensuring of the Inalienable Human Rights of American Citizens. This would also include where Elected Representatives are Overly Greedy and place their Unnatural Personal Interests above that of the Legitimate Interests of the Public, and these things and other things are mentioned in the Writings of the Founding Fathers, rather than the Constitution. This is why the Founding Fathers said that there Should be a Free Press, and Freedom of Speech. This situation with a Free Press and Freedom of Speech is Needed to Preserve the Republic and Democracy, but if it is Misused, then the Devil will try to use it to create an Evil Tyrannical Government in America. The Founding Fathers Believed that nothing good could come from Corruption, and Hillary Clinton is the Most Corrupt, the Most Devious, the Most Deceptive, the Most Untrustworthy, and the Most Dangerous Politician in American History, who could begin WW 3. The Founding Fathers were People of such High Integrity, and they wrote words to Remind and to Encourage future Elected Representatives to act with Principle for the Public Good, and to Self Regulate their Speech and their Behavior in an Environment of a Free Press with Freedom of Speech, so that there could be Free and Fair Competition in Election Campaigns, which is a Vital Necessity for a Democracy. There are Problems with trying to regulate the Press, because with the use of Carefully Crafted Deceptive Arguments by those with Dictatorial inclinations, then regulations can easily be used to suppress free speech, while making it appear as though they are protecting Free Speech, but Americans Should Know that America does Not have a Free Mainstream Press, because the Undemocratic Dictatorial Clintonites have Undermined and Sabotaged Americas Democracy. This is because American Whistleblowers Cannot give their information to Most of the American Mainstream Media, because Much of the Mainstream Media is in League with the Clintonites, but these Whistleblowers have to leak that information to Foreigners, and this is a Deplorable Indictment on the current state of American Democracy, of which the Media is a Vital Fourth Estate of a Democracy, but the Bribed and Corrupt and Undemocratic Mainstream Media have been close to the point of Treason Against America, with their Extreme Bias and their Unethical Misrepresentation and Slander of Donald Trump, and with how they have written their Propaganda for the Clintons and other Clintonites. It is Obvious that Much of the American Mainstream Media has come under the Control of the Clintons. We Know that Donald Trump was a Democrat who was friends with the Crooked Clintons, and this association had a bad influence on him, but he is now a Republican, and does Not do some of the things he did in the past, and he appears to have Genuine desire to Serve the American People, and this is why the Crooked Clintonites are Maliciously Slandering Donald Trump and using their Puppet Media, and even some in the Entertainment Industry to do this. The Founding Fathers Wrote the Constitution with the Wording that they did, because they wanted to keep the Invisible Devil away from Americas Government, so that Americans could have Prosperity, Liberty, and Democracy. There are Many American Voters who think that there is no one in American Politics with more of a Past that is Harmful to America and its Allies, who is more Corrupt, more Devious, more Incompetent, more Treacherous, more of a Warmonger, more of a Criminal, more of a Hardened Compulsive Liar, more Untrustworthy, more Unfit, and more Establishment than what Hillary Clinton is, and this is Why Many Voters want Anyone But Clinton to be President of America.

3	Je suis Charlie or Je suis Hypocrite?Brandon Turbeville Critical thinking? Not necessary. Within hours of the attacks, social media was flooded with I stand with Free Speech and Je suis Charlie. Americans, unaware of anything that happens outside of their own borders (or within) were happy to retweet and share familiar sounding memes while the French were happy to indulge themselves in the fantasy that they are a free people. Yet with French President Francois Hollandes speeches extolling the virtues of free speech and expression, the reality of the matter is that the Je suis Charlie meme should have carried the tagline Je suis Hypocrite. The French government and French society in general is by no means a society of free expression. While Christianity and Islam are regular targets of derision and attack by magazines like Charlie Hebdo, other religions are considered more equal in such utopias. For instance, in 2009, an 80-year-old columnist for Charlie Hebdo was actually put on trial on charges of inciting racial hatred for making a joke that then-President Sarkozys son was converting to Judaism for financial gain. For all the talk of standing with free speech, the gentlemen making the joke found himself standing quite alone. Indeed, even the act of denying the holocaust is a punishable thought crime in France. While the suggestion that the Nazi regime did not inflict unspeakable crimes against Jewish people is anti-historical in and of itself, a nation of true free speech would not punish the expression of the thought by criminal proceedings. It is also illegal to sell Nazi paraphernalia on the Internet in the free country of France. But the uber-PC speech censorship is not only silencing any criticism or insults against Jews and Judaism. Last year, Bob Dylan was formally investigated after making comments that were allegedly inciting racial hatred. Dylans comments were relatively simple. He had said in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, that If you got a slave master or [Ku Klux] Klan in your blood, blacks can sense that. That stuff lingers to this day. Just like Jews can sense Nazi blood and the Serbs can sense Croatian blood. Dylans remarks were largely addressing the issue of how race and racial tension can hold a nation back and linger long after the perceived wrong has taken place. In France, however, where everyone stands with free speech, his statements warranted prosecution. Even Brigitte Bardot was not immune to the PC police when she stated that Muslims were destroying the country by imposing their ways upon the French people. Bardot was fined and convicted of inciting racial hatred. Of course, the fact that the policy of unfettered immigration is destroying French culture is undeniable. However, in France, as in many other police states, you are only free to question and hurl insults at pre-selected targets. Note also that French comedian, Dieudonn , in the midst of all the I Stand With Free Speech hysteria, made the mistake of believing that there was such a thing as Free Speech. In a Facebook post, he stated, Tonight, as far as Im concerned, I feel like Charlie Coulibaly. He was promptly arrested. We have yet to see the prevalence of Je suis Dieudonn anywhere in Western society and social media outlets. In fact, as of January 15, it has been reported that the French government has opened nearly 54 criminal cases for condoning terrorism and it subsequently ordered prosecutors around the country to crack down on hate speech, anti-Semitism and glorifying terrorism. Even the president of France himself, Francois Hollande, has demonstrated high levels of hypocrisy in terms of the question of free speech and expression. After giving the tired nods to his countrys resolve to continue to support and promote freedom of speech and expression (Americans should be familiar with these types of speeches), Hollande stated that many of these third world Muslim countries, particularly the ones experiencing protests, riots, and violence as a result of the Charlie Hebdo cartoons, were reacting in such a way because they simply do not understand the concept of free speech and expression. Im thinking of countries where sometimes they dont understand what freedom of expression is because they have been deprived of it, he said. Yet nearly in the same breath, Hollande stated that those individuals who engaged in their freedom of expression to burn the French flag as a form of protest should be punished. When asked about the protesters who burned the flags, he responded, They have to be punished. Because when it happens in France, its intolerable but it is also intolerable abroad. Of course, in the aftermath of a tragedy, particularly one that the entire Western population was forced to witness on virtually every television channel, there comes the paranoia regarding future terrorist attacks, rampant militarism, fearmongering, the promotion of a greater police state, and, of course, the social media memes and hashtags commemorating the dead people and the dead values of their nation. Millions of French people hashtagging #JeSuisCharlie and I stand with Free Speech was nothing more than an insulting joke being played upon a public that has been subjected to a relentless police state and surveillance apparatus, the use of its people as cannon fodder for NATO imperialism, and the total eradication of whatever concept of true free speech and expression France may once have laid claim to. But, of course, Americans should not look down on the French for their hypocritical government, lack of freedom, and lagging economy. And they dont. In fact, they find solidarity with them. They find solidarity because their television sets and the personalities on their screens tell them to do so. After all, America is also hated for our freedoms and hated because we are such an exceptional people. Americans are glad that the French have finally re-animated their militarist spirit and are once again willing to traipse around the globe, slaughtering innocent men, women, and children for the good of international banks, corporations, and geopolitical interests. In the meantime, a few more Tweets of I stand with Free Speech and Je suis Charlie will erase the memory of Charlie Hebdo and all the inconsistencies of the official story out of the minds of the Americans and the French. That is, until the incident is needed to drum up support for war or further police state measures waiting to be put into place. Then the Western public will be asked to stand with Charlie in the Middle East, or Africa, or even Russia. They can stand with Free Speech in these far off places as well. Just so long as they do not do so at home. Recently from Brandon Turbeville: Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

2	Ivanka Trump Just Received Horrible News... Please Pray For Her Ivanka Trump has been fighting a hard battle, as a growing number of retailers have been ditching her brand amidst pressure from anti-Trump protesters. Daily Mail recently reported that Shoes.com made the official decision to drop Ivankas shoe line as part of the GrabYourWallet campaign. The boycott was started by Shannon Coulter in early October as a reference to Trumps infamous grab them by the p***y remark. A growing number of women have joined the boycott of Ivankas line of clothing, jewelry, perfume and accessories over her continued support of her father. They have also pressured stores like Nordstrom, Bloomingdales and Macys to follow suit and drop the brand. Any retailer that refuses to drop the brand is being added to the list of companies boycotted. We understand and your voices have been heard, Shoes.com tweeted just days after the presidential election. We have removed the products from our website. We want to support our customers and make sure they can continue to stand tall. The tweets have since been deleted, but the online marketplace has not reinstated the brand. Conversely, Nordstrom responded with announcements they would not be dropping the brand, claiming they want to allow customers choices about what they purchase based on personal views. We hope that offering a vendors products, isnt misunderstood as us taking a political position; were not, a spokesman said. What do you think? Is it pathetic that liberals are targeting Ivanka for standing behind her father? 
2	WARNING GRAPHIC: Baby Rapists Gets Taste Of His Own Medicine, Some Say Its Justice... Daryell Dickson Meneses Xavier became an instant enemy when he admitted to raping and murdering his stepson, who was just over a year and a half. Of course, he was not well received in prison. Daryell was raped by about 20 prisoners, one report noted. He had injuries all over his body. The details of the rape in prison are bone chilling, as the prisoners were determined to teach him a lesson. Just when Xavier was starting to heal, the men attacked him again. Now, a debate has broken out as to whether or not the prisoners were justified in attacking their fellow prisoner. While some argue Xavier got what he deserved, others maintain that rape is never justified. They should put all child molesters, killers, rapists whatever in general population here in the states as well so they can have a dose of their own medicine, somebody commented on the story. What do you think of the attack? 
1	Offering an alternative explanation for the period of heavy glaciation and lower global temperatures, new evidence published Wednesday by scientists at the University of California suggests that Earths most recent ice age was caused by the planet drifting into a particularly chilly part of the Milky Way. While past theories have posited that the last ice age was the result of factors ranging from changes in the planets atmosphere to the precession of its rotational axis to an ebb in solar activity, our research concludes that the epoch-long drop in surface temperatures can instead be attributed to Earth having floated through an extremely nippy corner of the galaxy, said Dr. Gerard Weidl, explaining that the exceedingly brisk conditions prevailing in that particular region of outer space could be blamed for the growth of polar ice caps and the spread of glaciers across nearly a third of Earths total land area. Luckily, about 11,000 years ago we coasted into a significantly balmier part of the Milky Way, which explains how much toastier everythings been since then. Weidl added that, should the planet float back into a chilly pocket of the universe, the few species that manage to survive would likely need to bundle up or else they would catch the shivers. 
2	Hillary Devastated After Racy Video Leaks, She Will Never Work In Politics Again [VIDEO] Whether were talking about politics or her social life, Hillary Clinton likes to pretend that she is innocent. Time and time again, its been proven that thats not the case. Last week, Yoko Ono came forward to claim that she had an affair with Clinton in the 1970s. Still, the liberal media claims she is not a lesbian. Hillary told us that she didnt use a private email server to discuss classified information. That was a lie. She said she didnt have any involvement in Benghazi. Evidence suggests that is not the whole truth. And now, video footage of the presidential hopeful drinking and partying has gone viral. Hillary is not fit to be the leader of our country. She does not represent America. Do you agree? 
2	Thug Puts Gun To Womans Head, Little Did He Know That She Was Armed Patriot According to breaking reports, 23-year-old Carol Miracle fatally shot 27-year-old Frank Taylor early on Monday morning near a convenience store in the area of 59th Avenue and Camelback Road. Miracle and other witnesses claim Taylor had pointed a gun at her head during an attempted robbery. Thats when she pulled her own handgun from a hip holster and shot him once. Miracle claims she was in fear for her life and authorities maintain that investigators found evidence supporting the statements made by her and the witnesses. The case will be submitted to the Maricopa County Attorneys Office for a decision, and the court will determine whether Miracle should face any charges for her actions. For most people, this is a clear example of the protection that is served by being a concealed carrierbut we doubt the liberal media will see it that way.

Do you support the US decision to take out this scumbag? 
3	ACTION ALERT: Katerina Jelevas Battle to See Her Son Will Take Place MondayBrandon Turbeville Katerina is being forced to go to court at her own expense in order to defend herself against the termination of her parental rights even after she has been proven innocent of any wrongdoing on at least three occasions. If Judge Mary Noonan of the Family Court rules against Katerina, she could terminate Katerinas parental rights altogether. However, if the judge rules in favor of Katerina and does not terminate her parental rights, then Katerina will finally regain custody of her son after an unnecessarily long battle. It is imperative that we contact Judge Mary Noonan and her Clerk and remind them both that we are watching this case and that we expect Katerinas son to be returned to her. Even after her exoneration, Katerina has still been denied the right to even visit her son due to legal trickery and outright sabotage by the other parties involved. For those of you who are unaware of Katerinas situation, I encourage you to access the articles and interviews linked at the end of this article to get an idea of the never-ending battle she has been forced to fight thus far. I also encourage you to read the summary of her case as it now stands, also included in this article. Again, if you want to help Katerina, please contact the court using the contact information posted below and encourage them to rule in Katerinas favor. Remind the court that the world is watching this case and that injustice such as this cannot continue to be tolerated. Remember to be polite, but firm. Contact information: Judge Mary Noonan (801) 764-5820 Judge Noonans Clerk (801) 724-3820 If neither of these individuals can be reached personally, please leave a message. Tell them to Do the right thing. Tell them to Make the right decision. Katerinas case number is 1065414. BEYER VS. JELEVA Summary of Katerinas Case: In short, when Katerina was conveniently served with a Protective Order by her ex-husband shortly after his own bankruptcy proceeding, Katerinas son was immediately taken from her by DCFS agents and armed police. Yet, after repeated interviews and investigations by psychologists, sex abuse investigators, and other DCFS agents, it was determined that there was absolutely no evidence that Katerina had abused her son. The process of interviews and investigations thus began anew and, again, Katerina was exonerated. Yet, after being ordered to organize and facilitate the family therapy sessions, Guardian ad Litem Amber Ruder flatly refused to obey the judges orders, telling Katerina that she cannot and will not do this for you. Ruder subsequently claimed that Katerinas son may not be returned to her at all because the two have been separated for such a long time that it might traumatize the child to return to his mother. This is in regards to a child who, in the opinion of the child psychologist who interviewed him, showed signs of being coached by other adults in what to say to the therapist in order to implicate his mother in misconduct in the first place. Ever since the second Protective Order, Katerina has been fighting an uphill fight in what seems like a never-ending legal battle where she is forced to represent herself despite having very little time and money at her disposal. In addition, Katerina has had to contend with a Guardian ad Litem who was not only being uncooperative, but was actively sabotaging and opposing Katerinas efforts to be reunited with her son. Between the behavior of Ruder, and Katerinas ex-husbands legal team led by attorney Jere Reneer, Katerina has had to endure such underhanded tactics as court-issued documents being sent to her previous attorneys office instead of to her (as she is now representing herself due to financial hardship) among other things. After a great deal of resistance by Ruder and Katerinas ex-husband, Katerina was finally able to attend a therapy session with her son a meeting which scarcely could have gone better, according to Jeleva, particularly under the circumstances. Unfortunately, much of the Amber Ruder-related saga continued in the months following. Not satisfied with the outcome of the DCFS investigations (as they determined that there was no evidence for any abuse), Ruder requested a third interview session with DCFS in an environment more conducive for her purposes, but was rightfully denied by the Judge. Very soon, however, a third anonymous claim of abuse was conveniently made against Katerina and the interview and investigation process began all over again for a third time. Once again, Springville Police Department Detective Jeff Ellsworth was tasked with investigating Katerinas case. As before, Ellsworth concluded that there was no evidence for abuse. Indeed, he clearly stated as much in his incident report when he wrote, I have investigated this matter before, and the information that was brought forward does not provided enough evidence to support Sexual Abuse. This case will remain inactive. Likewise, Emee Drews, the DCFS worker assigned to the case regarding the third accusation, stated that the interview she conducted did not disclose anything new and that there was not enough evidence to support the claims of sexual abuse. After watching the interview, Detective Ellsworth determined that the alleged incident being dealt with was actually the same incident he had investigated much earlier and had decided there was no evidence of child abuse. Essentially, the third accusation of child abuse was a type of accusational derivative, meaning that the third accusation was itself based on the first and second, which themselves were found to be illegitimate and baseless. Thus, on September 7, 2012, the third investigation was closed due to unsupported evidence. All the while, however, Katerinas attempts at supervised therapy with her son were flagrantly derailed in direct violation of the court order by her ex-husband who, Katerina claims, was acting on the advice of Amber Ruder. Furthermore, as the report written by Dr. Gale Stringham makes clear, both the ex-husband and the child were told by Amber Ruder that the child didnt have to see his mom if he didnt want to. Of course, Ruder had zero authority to make this decision because the therapy was court ordered. Keep in mind, Ruders function was Guardian ad Litem, not judge or jury. As a result, Katerinas son, who was ecstatic at seeing his mother at the first therapy session was not present at the second therapy session due to something that came up, preventing the ex-husband from attending the court ordered therapy and obstinately declining to accept any rescheduling by Dr. Stringham until at least a week later. After this long delay between therapy sessions, Katerinas son began acting mysteriously hesitant about seeing his mother and even contradicting himself about claims made against Katerinas new husband around the same time the first allegations were made against Katerina. Furthermore, Stringhams assessment regarding the possibility of the child having been coached in the second therapy session is comparable to her suspicions earlier in the year after the initial Protective Order had been filed. In a letter to the court, Stringham wrote, [His] responses during the second visitation raises serious concerns regarding him receiving adult influence. Although it would not be unusual for a child who is reconciling with a parent under similar circumstances to be again guarded at the beginning of another contact, a number of [his] comments both during his one-on-one disclosure to me and during the time with his mother did not sound like the typical language of a child his age. It also appears from his response to receiving the video that he had spoken with someone about her plan to bring the present. (Note: the present was simply a gift Katerina was going to bring to her son after the first session. At the first session, her son was eager to receive the video and was looking forward to it.) Shortly after this statement was released, Amber Ruder began complaining to the court via the submission of a motion suggesting that the therapist was providing the wrong kind of therapy. As a result of the continual underhanded tactics of Ruder, Katerinas ex-husband, and his attorney, Jere Reneer, Katerina was forced to respond via her filing a variety of court motions. Although Katerinas motion to the court to have GAL Amber Ruder removed from her case was denied, GAL Ruder is no longer the Guardian ad Litem of Katerinas case. In fact, perhaps due to public pressure as a result of the coverage from the alternative media and the subsequent protest and contact from readers and listeners all across the spectrum, GAL Amber Ruder is no longer Guardian ad Litem in any capacity on any of her former cases. Ruder has been effectively removed from her position as Guardian ad Litem. In Katerinas case, GAL Ruder has been replaced by her supervisor, John Moody. However, the fact that GAL Ruder is gone is no reason to become complacent. The fact is, one GAL has simply been replaced with another. Of course, we hope that Mr. Moody acts in a much more responsible manner than Ruder. Nevertheless, the fact remains that there is no reason for a GAL to be involved between Katerina and her son in the first place. Regardless, the Utah family court has refused to uphold her Motion to Terminate Jurisdiction Over the Minor Child. It is for this reason that Katerina now goes to trial. Her court date is scheduled to begin Monday January 28, 2013 and continue through Wednesday January 30, 2013. This trial will determine whether or not Katerina will be able to seen her son again as the trial is centered around the complete termination of parental rights. Related articles and interviews.

1	After years of sitting idly by as Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana lent his name to Tombstone frozen pizza, McCormick spices and marinades, and now Skechers Shape-ups, a frustrated NFL announced yesterday that from now on Montana will forfeit one Super Bowl ring for every stupid product he endorses. 'After watching the latest commercial, in which Joe Montana conducts a mock press conference and credits Skechers Shape-Ups with strengthening his back and legs and giving him the confidence to return to the NFL, we realized we had to take drastic action,' said Commissioner Roger Goodell, who later pleaded, 'Come on, Joe, it's a damn gimmick shoe for Christ's sake.' 'If we see Mr. Montana appearing in another Kraft Quarterback Cook-Off, that's one Super Bowl ring. A new ab machine, that's another Super Bowl ring. And, if he endorses more than four stupid products or releases another Skechers commercial, for his own good and the good of the game we'll start confiscating MVP awards.' Goodell added that Joe Montana Sports Talk Football for the Sega Genesis will always hold a special place in the NFL's heart and will not be considered a stupid Montana endorsement. 
2	Obama Doesnt Have Money To Help Our Vets But Look What He Did For Refugees [VIDEO] Obama never seems to be afraid to spit in the faces of the American public. Recently, he offered to house 100,000 refugees in our country by 2017. Meanwhile, there are plenty of military families every day that are struggling to get by. We will now go up to 85,000 with at least 10,000 over the next year in Syria specifically, John Kerry told reporters. And in the next fiscal year we will target 100,000. According to reports from the Daily Caller, on top of harbor in our country, each refugee is set to receive a placement grant of $1,850 from the Department of State. Refugees who have been in the United States for seven years or more will also be offered medical and financial assistance. That means that in a few years, $342,250,000 could be spent on these refugees, who may or may not be a serious threat to our country.

2	Cavuto Stomps On Hillary And Lester For Seeding Sickening Lie About Trump, And Hes Got A Video [WATCH] During the presidential debate, Hillary Clinton repeatedly argued that Trump was originally for the war in Iraq, not against it. She called Trump a liar when he criticized her for her bad judgment. Now, Neil Cavuto has come forward with shocking proof of Trumps honesty. Trump admitted that when he was first asked about the Iraq war by Howard Stern, he wasnt sure of his position. By the time he met with Neil Cavuto, however, he was sternly against it. Cavuto claims he remembers the conversation clearly, and even played the original clip from January 2003. If you had to break down for the president, if you were advising him, how much time you commit to Iraq versus how much time you commit to the economy, what would you say? Perhaps he shouldnt be doing it yet, Trump answered. And perhaps we should be waiting for the United Nations. Hes under a lot of pressure. I think hes doing a wonderful jobI think the Iraqi situation is a problem, and I think the economy is a much bigger problem. What do you think? Are you tired of Clinton manipulating the truth to get her way? In this case, Trump is a man of his word!

3	Censored, Surveilled, Watch Listed and Jailed. Freest Country in the World?By John W. Whitehead In past ages, those who dared to speak out against tyrannyviewed as an act of treasonwere blinded, castrated, disfigured, mutilated, rendered mute by having their tongues cut out of their heads, and ultimately crucified. In the American police state, the price to be paid for speaking truth to power (also increasingly viewed as an act of treason) is surveillance, censorship, jail and ultimately death. Its a diabolically ingenious tactic for muzzling, disarming and ultimately eliminating ones critics or potential adversaries. However, where many Americans go wrong is in assuming that you have to be doing something illegal or challenging the governments authority in order to be flagged as a suspicious character, labeled an enemy of the state and locked up like a dangerous criminal. In fact, as I point out in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, all you really need to do is use certain trigger words, surf the internet, communicate using a cell phone, drive a car, stay at a hotel, purchase materials at a hardware store, take flying or boating lessons, appear suspicious, question government authority, or generally live in the United States. With the help of automated eyes and ears, a growing arsenal of high-tech software, hardware and techniques, government propaganda urging Americans to turn into spies and snitches, as well as social media and behavior sensing software, government agents are spinning a sticky spider-web of threat assessments, behavioral sensing warnings, flagged words, and suspicious activity reports aimed at snaring potential enemies of the state. Its the American police states take on the dystopian terrors foreshadowed by George Orwell, Aldous Huxley and Phillip K. Dick all rolled up into one oppressive pre-crime and pre-thought crime package. Whats more, the technocrats who run the surveillance state dont even have to break a sweat while monitoring what you say, what you read, what you write, where you go, how much you spend, whom you support, and with whom you communicate. Computers now do the tedious work of trolling social media, the internet, text messages and phone calls for potentially anti-government remarksall of which is carefully recorded, documented, and stored to be used against you someday at a time and place of the governments choosing. The following activities are guaranteed to get you censored, surveilled, eventually placed on a government watch list, possibly detained and potentially killed. Laugh at your own peril. Use harmless trigger words like cloud, pork and pirates: The Department of Homeland Security has an expansive list of keywords and phrases it uses to monitor social networking sites and online media for signs of terrorist or other threats. While youll definitely send up an alert for using phrases such as dirty bomb, Jihad and Agro terror, youre just as likely to get flagged for surveillance if you reference the terms SWAT, lockdown, police, cloud, food poisoning, pork, flu, Subway, smart, delays, cancelled, la familia, pirates, hurricane, forest fire, storm, flood, help, ice, snow, worm, warning or social media. Use a cell phone: Simply by using a cell phone, you make yourself an easy target for government agentsworking closely with corporationswho can listen in on your phone calls, read your text messages and emails, and track your movements based on the data transferred from, received by, and stored in your cell phone. Mention any of the so-called trigger words in a conversation or text message, and youll get flagged for sure. Drive a car: Unless youve got an old junkyard heap without any of the gadgets and gizmos that are so attractive to todays car buyers (GPS, satellite radio, electrical everything, smart systems, etc.), driving a car today is like wearing a homing device: youll be tracked from the moment you open that car door thanks to black box recorders and vehicle-to-vehicle communications systems that can monitor your speed, direction, location, the number of miles traveled, and even your seatbelt use. Once you add satellites, GPS devices, license plate readers, and real-time traffic cameras to the mix, theres nowhere you can go on our nations highways and byways that you cant be followed. By the time you add self-driving cars into the futuristic mix, equipped with computers that know where you want to go before you do, privacy and autonomy will be little more than distant mirages in your rearview mirror. Attend a political rally: Enacted in the wake of 9/11, the Patriot Act redefined terrorism so broadly that many non-terrorist political activities such as protest marches, demonstrations and civil disobedience were considered potential terrorist acts, thereby rendering anyone desiring to engage in protected First Amendment expressive activities as suspects of the surveillance state. Express yourself on social media: The FBI, CIA, NSA and other government agencies are investing in and relying oncorporate surveillance technologies that can mine constitutionally protected speech on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in order to identify potential extremists and predict who might engage in future acts of anti-government behavior. A decorated Marine, 26-year-old Brandon Raub was targeted by the Secret Service because of his Facebook posts, interrogated by government agents about his views on government corruption, arrested with no warning, labeled mentally ill for subscribing to so-called conspiratorial views about the government, detained against his will in a psych ward for having dangerous opinions, and isolated from his family, friends and attorneys. Serve in the military: Operation Vigilant Eagle, the brainchild of the Dept. of Homeland Security, calls for surveillance of military veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, characterizing them as extremists and potential domestic terrorist threats because they may be disgruntled, disillusioned or suffering from the psychological effects of war. Police agencies are also using Beware, an early warning computer system that tips them off to a potential suspects inclination to be a troublemaker and assigns individuals a color-coded threat scoregreen, yellow or redbased on a variety of factors including ones criminal records, military background, medical history and social media surveillance. Disagree with a law enforcement official: A growing number of government programs are aimed at identifying, monitoring and locking up anyone considered potentially dangerous or mentally ill (according to government standards, of course). For instance, a homeless man in New York City who reportedly had a history of violence but no signs of mental illness was forcibly detained in a psych ward for a week after arguing with shelter police. Despite the fact that doctors cited no medical reason to commit him, the man was locked up in accordance with a $22 million program that monitors mentally ill people considered potentially violent. According to the Associated Press, A judge finally ordered his release, ruling that the mans commitment violated his civil rights and that bureaucrats had meddled in his medical treatment. Call in sick to work: In Virginia, a so-called police welfare check instigated by a 58-year-old mans employer after he called in sick resulted in a two-hour, SWAT team-style raid on the mans truck and a 72-hour mental health hold. During the standoff, a heavily armed police tactical team confronted Benjamin Burruss as he was leaving an area motel, surrounded his truck, deployed a stinger device behind the rear tires, launched a flash grenade, smashed the side window in order to drag him from the truck, handcuffed and searched him, and transported him to a local hospital for a psychiatric evaluation and mental health hold. All of this was done despite the fact that police acknowledged they had no legal basis nor probable cause for detaining Burruss, given that he had not threatened to harm anyone and was not mentally ill. Limp or stutter: As a result of a nationwide push to certify a broad spectrum of government officials in mental health first-aid training (a 12-hour course comprised of PowerPoint presentations, videos, discussions, role playing and other interactive activities), more Americans are going to run the risk of being reported for having mental health issues by non-medical personnel. Mind you, once you get on such a government watch listwhether its a terrorist watch list, a mental health watch list, or a dissident watch listtheres no clear-cut way to get off, whether or not you should actually be on there. For instance, one 37-year-old disabled man was arrested, diagnosed by police and an unlicensed mental health screener as having mental health issues, apparently because of his slurred speech and unsteady gait, and subsequently locked up for five days in a mental health facility against his will and with no access to family and friends. A subsequent hearing found that Gordon Goines, who suffers from a neurological condition similar to multiple sclerosis, has no mental illness and should not have been confined. Appear confused or nervous, fidget, whistle or smell bad: According to the Transportation Security Administrations 92-point secret behavior watch list for spotting terrorists, these are among some of the telling signs of suspicious behavior: fidgeting, whistling, bad body odor, yawning, clearing your throat, having a pale face from recently shaving your beard, covering your mouth with your hand when speaking and blinking your eyes fast. You can also be pulled aside for interrogation if you have unusual items, like almanacs and numerous prepaid calling cards or cell phones. One critic of the program accurately referred to the program as a license to harass. Allow yourself to be seen in public waving a toy gun or anything remotely resembling a gun, such as a water nozzle or a remote control or a walking cane, for instance: No longer is it unusual to hear about incidents in which police shoot unarmed individuals first and ask questions later. John Crawford was shot by police in an Ohio Wal-Mart for holding an air rifle sold in the store that he may have intended to buy. Thirteen-year-old Andy Lopez Cruz wasshot 7 times in 10 secondsby a California police officer who mistook the boys toy gun for an assault rifle. Christopher Roupe, 17, wasshot and killed after opening the door to a police officer. The officer, mistaking the Wii remote control in Roupes hand for a gun, shot him in the chest. Another police officer repeatedly shot 70-year-old Bobby Canipe during a traffic stop. The cop saw the man reaching for his cane and, believing the cane to be a rifle, opened fire. Stare at a police officer: Miami-Dade police slammed the 14-year-old Tremaine McMillian to the ground, putting him in a chokehold and handcuffing him after he allegedly gave them dehumanizing stares and walked away from them, which the officers found unacceptable. Appear to be pro-gun, pro-freedom or anti-government: You might be a domestic terrorist in the eyes of the FBI (and its network of snitches) if you: express libertarian philosophies(statements, bumper stickers); exhibit Second Amendment-oriented views (NRAor gun club membership); read survivalist literature, including apocalyptic fictional books; show signs of self-sufficiency (stockpiling food, ammo, hand tools, medical supplies); fear an economic collapse; buy gold and barter items; subscribe to religious viewsconcerning the book of Revelation; voice fears about Big Brother or big government; expound about constitutional rightsand civil liberties; or believe in a New World Order conspiracy. This is all part of a larger trend in American governance whereby dissent is criminalized and pathologized, and dissenters are censored, silenced or declared unfit for society. Attend a public school: Microcosms of the police state, Americas public schools contain almost every aspect of the militarized, intolerant, senseless, overcriminalized, legalistic, surveillance-riddled, totalitarian landscape that plagues those of us on the outside. From the moment a child entersone of the nations 98,000 public schoolsto the moment she graduates, she will be exposed to a steady diet of draconian zero tolerance policies that criminalize childish behavior, overreaching anti-bullying statutes that criminalize speech, school resource officers (police) tasked with disciplining and/or arresting so-called disorderly students, standardized testing that emphasizes rote answers over critical thinking, politically correct mindsets that teach young people to censor themselves and those around them, and extensive biometric and surveillance systems that, coupled with the rest, acclimate young people to a world in which they have no freedom of thought, speech or movement. Additionally, as part of the governments so-called ongoing war on terror, the FBIthe nations de facto secret police forceis now recruiting students and teachers to spy on each otherand report anyone who appears to have the potential to be anti-government or extremist as part of its Dont Be a Puppet campaign. Speak truth to power: Long before Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden were being castigated for blowing the whistle on thegovernments war crimesand the National Security Agencysabuse of its surveillance powers, it was activists such as Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lennon who were being singled out for daring to speak truth to power. These men and others like them had their phone calls monitored and data files collected on their activities and associations. For a little while, at least, they became enemy number one in the eyes of the U.S. government. Theres always a price to pay for standing up to the powers-that-be. Yet as this list shows, you dont even have to be a dissident to get flagged by the government for surveillance, censorship and detention. All you really need to be is a citizen of the American police state. 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 ofBattlefield America: The War on the American People and A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State. The rise of the police state is predicated on the 9/11 false flag attack which needs to be fully exposed. If the brilliant Mr. Whitehead and others of his caliber would take that important step into researching and supporting 9/11 Truth we would be well on our way to unwinding the rise of global tyranny instead of sliding towards the loss of civil liberties in China, North Korea, and Russia. Whitehead said he didnt agree with his client Brandon Raub about 9/11 as a conspiracy but felt Raub had the right to express his opinion. Mr Whitehead have obviously not pondered and considered the collapse of No.7 and the full implications of that phenomenon. Maybe the implications are just too dreadful and ghastly and frightening to him. Yep, theres a mountain of evidence and at least 4 events that defy physics with respect to the official story. Youd think if you were a lawyer dedicating your life to civil liberties to the extent of founding the conservative version of the ACLU, youd be driven to go down that rabbit hole to expose the entire foundation of lies that is destroying human freedom for all time. Could be cognitive dissonance, limited hangout for self protection, or gatekeeping. Certainly self protection, if anything, now that I consider it from your perspective. The only logical increment is to expand on the Wikispooks Israel did it treatise. Then youre moving far from the herd and with ringed dots painted all over you. There is a safe zone exemplified by Ron Paul, i.e. to publicly admit there are some questions / anomalies that should be explored in a new investigation. Thats a reasonable approach, then let the activists do the rest, otherwise it comes off as a right version of Naomi Wolf and theres the deeper issue of adding to the learned helplessness milieu. Unfortunately Ron Paul could only accomplish gathering a large inert vapour cloud of similar sentiments but we are all still just whispering hushed activism inside an unbreachable, remotely controlled justice corral. We can only commend the courage of the Ron Pauls and Naomi Wolfs but the awareness they bring to the herd has no real substance, partly because of the vast, remotely financed counter drive in deception and lying. I agree Ron Pauls stance is but a speckle of dust standing alone. However, if more politicians were join to him and Dr. Cynthia McKinney, who is far more outspoken than Paul, along with Academics and public figures, then a critical mass could be reached, a snow balling that would bring in people from all over. There is a great need to break through the political correctness that paralyzes real public debate on an endless list of issues. TPTB take full advantage of hard wired impulses for conformity. I fear that the snow ball will unleash razor-wire and artillery marshal law after fomenting of coast to coast civil war before any possibility of releasing the mutinous slave population. I even expect a Samson type event from these psychotic fkng freaks. I have cultivated and matured my cynicism since the reality of 9-11 startled me from the nave, idiot slumber. I ( and everyone else here) really value your very insightful assessments of geo-politics. Please keep it up. I know what you mean and I have the same fears given TPTB are practiced in the art of inciting useful idiots hence the Soros et al backed disruption of Trump rallies. Although, an authentic awakening would suspend the trance-like mind control programming enough to bring on a great consciousness shift which Ive experienced in large online forums going back 12-13 years. At one point, it was enough to get the Masters of the Universe to direct their media lapdogs into near full disclosure mode with CNN gatekeeper Lou Dobbs fully admitting to the open borders agenda as part of a larger globalization conspiracy and he even discussed the North American Union on his program (you can see it on Aaron Russos America Freedom to Fascism documentary) and Ron Paul was even asked an NAU question on a televised GOP presidential candidate debate program. Observing closely for a viral breakout, the propagandists realized the full shift was not about to happen and they swiftly pulled back, adjusting their learning curve. I firmly believe it is very possible to make that shift in a big way and peacefully with great luck and providence in on our side. Thanks for the good word, much appreciated. Same in Britain, in 1999 I was a student at Wolverhampton University when another student arrived with the same name as moi to take an M.A. I was on a BA Degree and I have been stalked by British Military Intelligence since. Though Mr Andrew Conio received an Doctorate for his troubles in 2006 as he is/was an Liberty selfnews and he was paid off by the Government. I contacted Wlv Uni last November to talk to this piece off and my contact was refused. Also take into account the amount of censorship that takes place on this website via third party monitors. Where is the free speech here when comments have to be monitored because of bogus PC interference and corporate shills posing as monitors? People need to express themselves without restraint over the important matter of their extinction at the hands of their own government. These desperate losers cant stop the awakening. Centralized power is on the way out and they cant stop it. ,We are the Home of Natural Plants like Cannabis Oil , Medical Marijuana 
2	Hillary Clinton Attacked Sarah Palin After Trump Endorsement, So She Gives Quick Response Sarah Palin revealed her official endorsement of Donald Trump this weekwhich Hillary Clinton didnt seem to like very much. The former Secretary of State was quick to comment on the issue, but as usual, her criticisms backfired. Palin recently appeared on stage with Trump at a rally at Iowa State University in Ames, where she revealed herself as a firm supporter of the GOP front-runner. During her appearance, Palin referred to Trump as compassionate, refreshing and self-made. She also argued that he is set to bring the country back from the mess Obama has caused. Sarah Palins got Trumps back, Clintons staff wrote on her Facebook page, encouraging them to sign up for Hillarys updates. We cant afford a Republican in the White House. Sarah Palin is standing with Trump. Fight back. Sarah Palin, who is notorious for not holding back on social media, was quick to reply to the insult. Were sure Hillary is feeling the Bern after this slightand not in a good way.

2	Obamas Health Issues Surface, Threaten His Eligibility To Continue As President Recently, experts are starting to question President Barack Obamas mental health, and international leaders are starting to take notice. According to John Schindler, a columnist for the Daily Beast and former National Security Agency intelligence analyst, a European Union diplomat recently suggested that Obama is quite mentally ill. Schindler also claims he went on to inquire about our impeachment process. The comment, which was posted to Schindlers Facebook account, brought into light a heated debate about whether or not our president is equipped to handle his duties, or whether he should be forced out of the White House. What do you think? Is Obama swiftly ruining our countrys leadership position? 
2	Illegal Immigrants Giving Their Daughters This Shocking Thing Before They Cross The Border While many illegal immigrant children are crossing the border in hopes of living a safer life, the journey may actually be putting them in situations that are far more dangerous than the ones they are facing in their own country. According to reports from the Department of Homeland Security reported that numerous parents have been giving their daughters birth control in case they are raped on the way over the border. Ive met with enough of these kids now, including a 15-year old in Nogales (Ariz.) two weeks ago, who was three months pregnant, to have a real sense for what these kids go through, said Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, during a Congressional hearing. The hearing also discussed how President Obamas $3.7 billion emergency fund was not enough to keep the illegal immigrants safe. Weve heard about how before they leave Central America, some of these kids parents actually will give them birth control in case theyre raped along the way, he added. What do you think? Does this crisis need to stop now? 
3	Upcoming Military Drill Off Limits to ReportersBrandon Turbeville The exercises are scheduled to take place on Monday and Tuesday and will run up to midnight on both days and will take place largely in Lower Richland, near Eastover and Hopkins. Exercises are also planned for the areas of Screaming Eagle Rd. near Elgin and North Richland County very close to outbound Monticello Road. Beyond this information, however, very little else is known about the upcoming shadowy training exercises. That is, except for the fact that they may be very loud and possibly alarming to the local residents unprepared for or uninformed of them. According to the State newspaper, reporters will not be allowed to view or participate in the exercise. Clearly, simulated combat will be a part of the drill due to the fact that residents are being told not to be alarmed by the sound of gunfire or ordinance. The release also stated that the exercise was being held Due to Sheriff Leon Lotts longstanding commitment to making sure that deputies are trained and prepared for every event and potential threat and his desire to assist the military to ensure their preparations. It is worth noting that Ft. Bragg hosts some of the U.S. Armys more elite units such as Special Forces as well as more elite airborne and aviation support units. Ft. Bragg is also home to the elite Delta Force. Recently from Brandon Turbeville: Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

3	A Storm of Global Events Is Threatening to Push Gold and Silver to Record HighsJoshua Krause It would show the phony paper market whos really in charge. With the price of 800 million ounces of physical silver being controlled by 1 billion ounces of paper stocks, a challenge like this could make stock prices tumble while the price of real silver goes through the roof. He suggested that they agree upon a month sometime in 2015. Id be willing to bet that the anticipation of that event, would make silver prices go ballistic long before that month arrives. Of course, even if Mr. Neumeyer doesnt have his way, theres a long list of events on the horizon that could push gold and silver back into the spotlight. Theres so many factors that are converging at once, that if only a few them come to fruition, we can expect gold and silver to be making some serious gains by the end of this year. Another challenge to metals market may be coming down the pike by the end of this month. In Switzerland, a referendum is being planned for November 30th, that could bring about the first gold-backed currency in decades. Currently, polls show that support for the bill has a very narrow lead, so well see what happens in the next few weeks. If it passes, Switzerland will hold 20 percent of its reserves in gold, demand the return of all its gold being held overseas, and will cease selling gold to the rest of the world. If that doesnt come to pass though, an even bigger event is brewing in China, and it threatens to destroy Londons monopoly on gold and silver pricing once and for all. For nearly 300 years, the London Fix has determined the global price of gold. Now China has opened a free trade zone in Shanghai, and an international gold exchange along with it. Essentially, there will now be two prices for gold. If China doesnt agree with Londons price, they can set theirs higher or lower. Im betting theyll set the price higher, because China has a much greater interest in Gold that most Western nations. Which brings me to the next major factor that will affect the price of gold. Countries like China and India continue to outmatch the demand of every other country on Earth. Asia is responsible for the majority of the global precious metals market, and that demand isnt just coming from the government. Private citizens are getting in on that action as well, especially in India where gold has been a traditional store of wealth for centuries. That doesnt mean governments arent still hoarding massive amounts of gold. With sanctions putting pressure on Russia, Putins government has been doing everything it can to separate itself from the dollar. That includes increasing its gold reserves by 54 tons over a six-month period. The new purchases have made Russia the sixth largest country in gold reserves. They now have a total of 1094.7 tons of gold, which is more than China. While every national currency is racing towards the bottom to keep their wealth from being traded overseas, it seems like every government, (except for the U.S. and Britain) is trying to buy up as much gold as they can. You can imagine what this will do to gold prices in the near future. What you may not have imagined, is how the Ebola virus will push the price of precious metals. Im not talking about the virus causing an economic collapse or anything like that. Im talking about the numerous gold mines that are situated in West Africa. Ghana alone is the worlds 10th highest gold producing nation. Even if Ebola doesnt significantly affect the rest of the world, it could easily continue to ravage West Africa, and put a halt to its gold mining operations. If you ask me, it looks like 2014 is going to be the last year of cheap gold and silver. You have mining companies tired of their goods being priced by the phony stock market. You have citizens around the world trying to protect their wealth from inflationary currencies, and you have governments trying to invest away from the dollar. Were seeing century-old monopolies being shattered right before our very eyes, and even acts of nature threatening to dismantle the old order. It almost seems like the whole world is coming down on gold all at once. Call it Karma. What comes up must come down, and vice versa. Decades of market manipulation and centralized price control have created huge imbalances in the system, and a massive and global backlash is bearing down on the price fixers. The free market is finally catching up to the schemers, and anyone who is holding paper stocks and fiat currencies is going to lose.

1	According to a study released Wednesday by doctors at Michigan State University, running for 20 minutes every day was found to be effective in adding several years of soreness to peoples lives. We found that individuals do not need to exercise very much on a daily basis to increase the number of years they live in dull, aching pain, lead author Dr. Justin Gallo said of the study, which found that for every 10 minutes spent running per day, subjects could expect to gain an additional year of stiffness and discomfort in their calves, glutes, and thighs. Even subjects who jog just five to 10 minutes a day are likely to see an appreciable increase in the amount of time they live with radiating hip pain and throbbing in their knees. The real takeaway from our research is that just getting off the couch once a day may be enough to give you one or two more years of clutching at your lower back and wincing. The study further noted that individuals who engage in strenuous runs of five miles or more every day of the week, regardless of temperature and weather conditions, were able to add, on average, an additional decade of being actively despised by acquaintances, coworkers, and casual onlookers to their lives. 
1	Recovering alcoholic Tim Schwann, 33, still clearly takes a certain pride in his hard-drinking days, sources reported Monday. Nostalgic former drinker Tim Schwann. 'Man, did I used to put it away,' said Schwann, nursing a soda at a recent party. 'Look at me. I weigh, like, 160. You'd never guess a guy my size could pound a case of Miller Genuine Draft, a fifth of schnapps, and a bottle of Mad Dog over the course of six hours. I was a machine.' Despite renouncing alcohol following a 2001 stint in rehab, Schwann seems to romanticize his years of heavy drinking, frequently waxing nostalgic about the days when his life was dedicated to the consumption of beer and liquor. 'One time, Rob [Reilly] came over on a Sunday afternoon, and we plowed through two cases like it was nothing,' Schwann said. 'Around 6:30, we realized we were out of beer and had to make a run for more, but the stupid liquor stores were closed. We ended up driving all the way to Wisconsin to find a store that still sold beer on Sunday. We didn't care: We were hell-bent on partying, and when we finally got back, that's exactly what we did. Big time.' Even though Schwann hasn't gone into Sullivan's Wake, the site of many of his ugliest drinking bouts, in nearly two years, he said he still holds a special place in his heart for the bar. 'Sullivan's was the best,' Schwann said. 'All the guys from the machine shop used to drink there after work. In the morning, you'd see guys from the third shift waiting for the bar to open at 8 a.m., and I was usually right there with them. Mike, the owner, told me he had to order an extra keg of MGD per week after I started showing up. He used to say I was putting his kids through collegewhich was kind of ironic considering I got kicked out of high school for sneaking vodka into class.' One of Schwann's favorite binge-drinking stories involves stealing a keg of beer from a University of Minnesota fraternity house. 'This is about nine years ago,' Schwann said. 'My roommate Andy [Stavokakis] and I swiped this full keg that was being delivered to the Fiji house for a party that night. We ended up drinking the whole thing in two days. We were so drunk, we forgot to add ice, so the beer was warm most of the second day. We didn't care. We were crazy back then, and warm beer wasn't going to stop us.' According to friends, Schwann rarely tells stories of events that occurred during his past 20 months of sobriety. 'If I ask him about some rock show he went to over the weekend, he'll have nothing to say,' coworker Henry Blount said. 'But if the subject of beer comes up, he suddenly springs to life. It's pretty clear that he considers his drinking days the best of his life, even though the stories always end up with him in jail or vomiting in a Stop-N-Go.' Schwann finally decided to check himself into the Helping Hand Detox Center in June 2001 after being fired from his machinist job and going on 'a bender to end all benders.' Over the course of three days, Schwann demolished his 1984 Chevette, accidentally set fire to his apartment, and passed out on the porch of an old girlfriend's house. 'Dude, you should have seen me, I was so fucked up,' Schwann said. 'I knew I needed help, but you can't keep a party guy like me down, so right after waking up on the porch, I went off on another pub crawl. I wound up curled up on Melissa's front door again. After she got done yelling at me for being an asshole, she drove me to the rehab center. She never did forgive me for taking a shit on her lawn.' Since going sober, Schwann has dramatically turned his life around, earning his GED and enrolling in night classes at a St. Paul community college. He has also renewed his interest in woodworking, a hobby he abandoned after smashing all his projects in a 1998 whiskey-induced rage. 'I've been sober for almost two years now, and I finally feel like I'm in control of my life,' Schwann said. 'Sure, drinking Shirley Temples and going to AA meetings isn't as exciting as waking up in a ditch with a splitting headache and no clue how you got there. But even though I miss all those fun times, I don't miss the actual drinking that much. Besides, I know in my heart that if I wanted to, I could still out-drink anyone out there.' 
3	A New War May Be Brewing in the BalkansBy Joshua Krause As part of the Dayton Accord, two independent entities were created within the nation of Bosnia: the Bosniak-Croat Federation and the largely Serb Republika Sprska. The government in Sprska is planning to unveil a referendum on the anniversary of the Dayton Accord. There will be a single question on the ballot that will ask their citizens if they support the legality of their current union with the Bosniak-Croat Federation. Many are calling the question a veiled independence referendum that will give the president of Sprska permission to obstruct the laws and institutions of the central government. Meanwhile, Russia has expressed its support for the referendum. Theyve long considered the Balkan region to be under their sphere of influence, and theyre more than happy to support anything that would disrupt the political order that was built by the West. Its also another region that NATO has been encroaching on since the fall of the Soviet Empire. As we speak, the nation of Montenegro is well on its way to joining NATO, which is the first new member to join the military alliance since relations soured with Russia and the West. If you ask me, it looks like another proxy war between the US and Russia is being primed in the Balkans.

3	Campus Activists Shut Down Condoleezza Rice Speech At RutgersBy Joe Wright Rice and her warmongering cohorts have encountered various problems attempting to make appearances around the world. As a reminder of her central role, this first video is Condoleezza Rice openly defending the torture tactics implemented under George W. Bush, who himself stated to aBritish newspaper that it was damn right that he had authorized them. And here is a link to the declassified memo that outed her for lying about pre-9/11 threats. Among the aforementioned cancellations by Rice, the video below shows the treatment she received when she went ahead with a 2011 speech at Stanford, where she now shamefully holds a position as professor of political science. Things went in a similar direction for Donald Rumsfeld when he showed up at a community college in Dallas. The consummate confrontation activist Luke Rudkowski gets a hold of Dick Cheney in 2011 at CPAC. George W. Bush was scheduled in 2011 to attend a fund-raising event in Switzerland, but canceled after rights group World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT) called on Swiss authorities to investigate Bush for war crimes if he set foot on Swiss soil. Later that year, protests broke out in Canada upon Bushs arrival. Amnesty International stated it plainly: Canada is required by its international obligations to arrest and prosecute former president Bush given his responsibility for crimes under international law including torture. A coalition of rights groups has vowed to hound these war criminals wherever they show up. A bevy of lawsuits have been issued across the world for this group of unrepentant war criminals, most prominently against Bush and Donald Rumsfeld. However, the U.S. legal system continues to legitimize torture by dismissing all suits. Until true justice can be served, their lives can be made as uncomfortable as possible by people of good conscience. by Elizabeth Hagedorn Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has backed out of a commencement speech at Rutgers University. (Via U.S. State Department) This, following protests by some students and faculty over her role in the Iraq War. PROTESTERS: Condi Rice has got to go.(Via MyCentralJersey.com) In a statement posted to Facebook Saturday, Rice said her invite had become a distraction, writing: I understand and embrace the purpose of the commencement ceremony and I am simply unwilling to detract from it in any way. The universitys board of governors had voted to pay Rice $35,000 for her speech, scheduled for May 18. She was also slated to receive an honorary Doctorate of Law degree from the university. But for months, students have called on the university to disinvite her which it refused to do. Carrying signs with slogans reading, No Honor for War Criminals about 50 Rutgers students recently staged a sit-in. (Via MyCentralJersey.com) One of the organizers told the student newspaper the protest was not about politics, rather an issue of human decency. (Via The Daily Targum) But many conservative pundits on Twitter saw the outcry over Rice as an issue of free speech. HeresFox News anchor Tucker Carlson. (Via Twitter / @AriFleisher, Twitter / @jimgeraghty, Twitter / @JebediahBila) CARLSON: Shes basically being shouted down by a small group of angry people. thats not a good precedent. If you dont want to hear someones position, you just prevent them from talking?. Rices Rutgers withdrawal follows similar protests over her invitation to speak at the University of Minnesota and controversy over her appointment to the board of directors at file-sharing firm Dropbox. (Via National Review, The New York Times) Rutgers released a statement shortly after Rices saying it respected her decision to pull out of the ceremony. The university now has two weeks to come up with a replacement speaker. Maybe Snookis available. In 2011, Rutgers took some heat for paying reality TV star Snooki $32,000 to give a speech $2,000 more than it paid Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morisson to speak that same year. (Via ABC, Google) Recently by Joe Wright:

But What They Found They Could Never Have Predicted Fans of Hillary Clinton probably thought things couldnt get any worse for her after losing the presidential election to Donald Trump and being investigated by the FBI. Unfortunately for them, they were dead wrong. Reports have surfaced that Guccifer 2.0 hacked into the Clinton Foundation database, and found some pretty disturbing evidence. Many of you have been waiting for this, some even asked me to do it, he wrote after the hacking. So, this is the moment. I hacked the Clinton Foundation sever and downloaded hundreds of thousands of docs and donors databases. According to the documents he released, between 2009 and 2011, big banks reportedly offered kickbacks to Democratic politicians through the Clinton Foundation to ensure that Barack Obamas bailouts got approved. One of these politicians was Hillary Clinton. DEMOCRATS FUNNELED TARP FUNDS BACK TO THEIR PACS! Thats taxpayer bailout money that went right to the pockets of Democrat PACs! Guccifer added. This comes just days after a federal appeals court ruled that the US Attorney General could supervise the release of Clintons emails. The Daily Caller reported that the ruling overturned the ruling of a lower court that the review of her emails was sufficient. The case was brought forward by Judicial Watch, the conservative organization that has been attempting to get their hands on Clintons emails for months. The department has not explained hwy shaking the tree hardere.g., by following the statutory mandate to seek action by the attorney generalmight not bear more still, the courts ruling read. Absent a showing that the requested enforcement action could not shake loose a few more emails, the case is not moot. This means that incoming Attorney General Jeff Sessions will have the ability to dive into the case, and potentially reopen the investigation. 
2	Michelle Obama Gets Slammed With Brutal Hit After Running Her Mouth Off At Trump Michelle Obama outraged the American public when she sat down with Oprah Winfrey in her final one-on-one interview as first lady and used the opportunity to bash Donald Trump, claiming that the country has lost hope since his election. We feel the difference now. See, now, we are feeling what not having hope feels like, Michelle said. 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? Of course, Michelles statement completely disregarded the millions of people who actually voted for Trump and feel hopeful for the first time in eight years. Now, chief political correspondent Deneen Borelli has released a video response to Michelles ignorant comments, slamming her for the arrogance she displayed in the interview. Watch her response below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Borelli? Conservative Review (@CR) December 20, 2016 
1	The Kentucky Department of Motor Vehicles announced yesterday that the game of chicken will be added to the state's driver's-license road test, testing prospective motorists' ability to drive directly towards one another at an accelerating speed. 'We want to make sure new drivers can handle everyday Kentucky driving scenarios,' said DMV spokesman Marty Kerta The state's test is already one of the most challenging in the nation, requiring Kentuckians to drive through stop signs, hurtle into police roadblocks, achieve at least two seconds of airborne status, and do donuts. 'If we have drivers on the road lacking these vital chicken skills, something terrible could happenlike, for instance, someone swerving away at the last second like a giant pussy,' Kerta said. 
3	Brzezinskis Retaliation Agenda: Break Up Russia And Absorb ItBy Brandon Turbeville After all, Brzezinski is no mere talking head or media mouthpiece. He is the architect of al-Qaeda and controller of much of the American geopolitical strategy. When he states that retaliation must be part of U.S. strategy, there is a very real possibility that it will be. Indeed, in order to understand much of the U.S. geopolitical strategy at work today, it might serve us well to consult the work of Brzezinski in his book The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy And Its Geostrategic Imperatives. It should be remembered that it was in this very book that Brzezinski uttered the famous statement that America is too democratic at home to be autocratic abroad. This limits the use of Americas power, especially its capacity for military intimidation. Never before has a populist democracy attained international supremacy. But the pursuit of power is not a goal that commands popular passion, except in conditions of a sudden threat or challenge to the publics sense of domestic well-being.[1] The book, written in 1997, seemed to lament the fact that the public would not support such blatant imperialism unless they truly viewed the crusade to be in their own immediate self-interest. Only fours year later, the public would receive such a sudden threat or challenge to their sense of domestic well-being in the form of the 9/11 attacks. However, the Grand Chessboard discusses so much more than the lack of desire to wage war by the general public absent a perceived external threat. The book discusses in detail the various major players in the geopolitical game and the methods they may use to achieve their goals of hegemony. In regards to Russia, Brzezinski clearly laid out his desire to see a fractured Russia, a nation that was drastically smaller in size and much weaker in terms of its governmental structure. In other words, a Russia incapable of opposing Anglo-American hegemony. Brzezinski wrote, Given the enormous size and diversity of the country, a decentralized political system, based on the free market, would be more likely to unleash the creative potential of both the Russian people and the countrys vast natural resources. In turn, such a more decentralized Russia would be less susceptible to imperial mobilization.[2] Brzezinski makes it clear that the strategy towards Russia is one that involves the breakup of the country into three parts, loosely confederated, partially beholden to NATO-dominated Europe, and blended with the other powers of Asia. He writes, A loosely confederated Russiacomposed of a European Russia, a Siberian Republic, and a Far Eastern Republicwould also find it easier to cultivate closer economic relations with Europe, with the new states of Central Asia, and with the Orient, which would thereby accelerate Russias own development. Each of the three confederated entities would also be more able to tap local creative potential, stifled for centuries by Moscows heavy bureaucratic hand.[3] Likewise, Brzezinski sees China and the greater Asian region uniting under a loosely confederal system, effectively forming the world into a realm of what is, essentially, three main trading blocks, full of impotent states and third world fiefdoms.[4] Clearly, Russia is not going to allow itself to be destroyed and broken up into three parts for the benefit of the hegemony of world oligarchs. Yet Brzezinskis desire are clearly the goals of the ruling elite and a plan to make them a reality is already in motion. In order to accomplish such a task, it would require an enormous battle politically, economically, and militarily. Unfortunately for the world, it appears the ruling elite is prepared to do just that. [1] Brzezinski, Zbigniew. The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy And Its Geostrategic Imperatives.

Putin does understand who are the Washingtons satanists and what do they want he is fighting their plans, right now! Why is Putin allowing geoengineering in Russia? Its been filmed by several activists in Russia and can be seen on youtube. In 2012 Putin called on the IPCC to approve geoengineering to combat climate change. The IPCC is a global elite tool and climate change is a Trojan horse for global technocratic enslavement. Putin called for the IMF to intervene in Ukraine. BIS and IMF pull the puppet strings in Washington DC. Russia is moving forward with Agenda 21, Smart Meters, Smart Grid, and Smart Cities. The Russian people are essentially in the same boat we westerners are. MISINFORMATION is the main elites tool ! Do not trust all sources I dont trust all sources and I have carefully examined patterns, neurolinguistics, and high level connections for a very long time. The examples I cited can be verified and are reported throughout various mainstream media channels and public organizations. If, and when, Putin allows Monsanto to operate in his sphere of influence, the world will then know whats in his heart. Just google: putin monsanto! The globalists intend to weaken and fracture the sovereignty of ALL nation states, including the US, Russia, and China. In a recent Wall Street Journal article, well known columnist Peggy Noonan described her conversation with an unnamed powerful and influential mover and shaker who told her he expected the United States could be broken up sometime in the not too distant future, a pronouncement Catherine Austin Fitts said she took to be a trial balloon. Similarly, this summer the Rothschild owned The Economist published an article describing the inherent political and economic fragility of Russia and its inevitable fracturing. NWO researchers already know the globalists intend to destroy the sovereign nation state model replacing the current paradigm with regional governments overseen by a bankster controlled world government. There are old Establishment maps of a fractured United States going back 50 years or more. 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. Mr. Its sure is a lot easier killing a million people today himself. Brzezinski is upset because he thought he would see his nwo plans come to fruition before he died. He is talking nonsense now. Break up Russia into 3 pieces? lol. Ski is washed up headed for the hot place soon. Does he really think that his nwo buddys are going to see their kids and grand kids fry in a nuclear war? very lol. Keep on barking old fart. Heres a better plan. Why dont 5 or 6 states secede from the USA and do their own thing. RE: Clearly, Russia is not going to allow itself to be destroyed and broken up into three parts for the benefit of the hegemony of world oligarchs.

In order to accomplish such a task, it would require an enormous battle politically, economically, and militarily. Unfortunately for the world, it appears the ruling elite is prepared to do just that. To describe them as elite, surely gives them the gravitas, that is not deserved For all the pain, murder and suffering that has been caused to billions of people, with more to come, the word SCUM surely describes this clique, that have EVIL intent. brother Brzezinski , when you talk And Absorb It this is exactly snakes language . your kidding me man . Too late colleague. 
1	In an official statement Monday, a spokesman for the American Dental Association announced that it cannot make the teeth of the nation's citizens any goddamn whiter. ADA president T. Howard Jones. 'As medical professionals, there is a limit to how white we can make your teeth,' ADA president T. Howard Jones said. 'Using various new tooth-whitening procedures, we can remove the extrinsic staining from your teeth and make them look their absolute whitest. But that's still not enough for you psychos. You need whiter. Well, if you want to go to Mexico and have someone implant a black light in your gums so your teeth glow an unearthly white, go nuts. I'm just telling you what we're medically and legally capable of at this time.' Jones said Americans enjoy a staggering variety of teeth-whitening options, including lasers, gels, bleaches, strips, rinses, pastes, and carbamide-peroxide trays from such makers as Rembrandt, Brite Smile, Perfect Smile, PowerWhite, Rapid White, and Pearl Drops. But despite the seemingly limitless dental-bleaching procedures and products available, Jones said the nation's vain populace is still not satisfied. 'We're not holding anything back, honest,' Jones said. 'If there was some way to make your teeth whiter, we'd be thrilled to offer it to you and charge you an arm and a leg for it. You're just going to have to come to grips with the fact that your teeth have a slight natural tint. Unless you want us to start painting your teeth with correction fluid, you'll have to accept that cruel fact.' Jones stressed that the ADA has nothing against tooth whitening, noting that most of its 147,000 members offer everything from laser bleaching to porcelain veneers to dental bonding. The typical ADA dentist, however, is irked by customers who come in for routine bleaching and leave disappointed because 'their teeth don't inflict retinal damage when you look directly into them.' 'Hey, if your teeth are stained or discolored, come on in, and we'll fix you up,' Jones said. 'Professional teeth bleaching can whiten your teeth upwards of five shades, but once they reach their limit, that's it. You need to stop comparing your teeth to your refrigerator.' Members of the Cohn family of Alpine, NJ, all of whom are dissatisfied with the whiteness of their teeth. Citizens across the U.S. are expressing confusion over the ADA's defensive tone. 'I don't see why they're getting all huffy,' said St. Paul, MN, resident Tamara Wenders, her words garbled by a mouthful of Crest Whitestrips. 'They're making a lot of money. I thought dentists wanted us to have clean teeth.' Added Wenders, looking into the mirror: 'I think it's working.' According to ADA member Dr. Walter Foti, D.D.S., the national obsession with perfectly white teeth may only be getting started. 'What happens once, at long last, you people get your teeth pure white?' Foti asked. 'Will you finally be satisfied? Of course not. Then you'll want clear teeth. You won't rest until your fucking teeth are see-through.' 'Look, you want white teeth so damn bad? It's simple,' Jones said. 'Don't smoke, stay away from coffee, tea, and soda, brush and floss regularly, and go to your dentist every six months. Sure, have your teeth whitened occasionally, but keep in mind that we can only go far as the technology allows. When someone creates a better teeth-whitening procedure, we'll slap an 'ultra' on it and get it out on the market as fast as the FDA allows. Until then, be happy with what you have. Americans really need to learn to live with almost-total perfection.' 
1	Unbeknownst to them, a selection of friends, coworkers, and loose acquaintances of local data entry clerk Brian Lochner make up the 28-year-olds entire emotional support network, sources reported Wednesday. Brian? Yeah, over the years he and I have gotten drinks after work a bunch of timesdefinitely a good guy to have around the office, said coworker Jeff Aldriss, oblivious to the fact that he is the first person Lochner would call if the going really got tough and he needed someone to talk him through it. Brians a sweet guy; we stop and chat in the hallway of our building a lot and its always very pleasant, added neighbor Kelly Platt, who would be shocked to learn that even a minor crisis would drive Lochner to lean on her for weeks. Sources confirmed that the groups collective ignorance is expected to continue until June of next year, when Lochners girlfriend of nine months leaves him following his sudden firing. 
1	Near-tragedy turned to joy Monday, as area residents Phillip and Karen Widman and their two children were saved from their burning house on Locust Street by Kevin Lassally, a homosexual man. Falmouth resident Kevin Lassally, who likes to hold and kiss other men, is being hailed as a hero after rescuing a family of four from a deadly blaze. The fire, believed to have started around 1 a.m. when an unextinguished candle ignited a set of drapes, threatened to consume the home and the Widman family along with it. Lassally, returning home after visiting with other homosexuals, smelled smoke and saw flames through the Widmans' living room window. 'I heard children crying, and knew I had to do something,' the 34-year-old, gay computer programmer told reporters. 'I used their porch railing to climb up on the roofing that underhung the children's bedroom. Then I had to kick in their window to reach them.' Once the window was broken, gusts of wind began funneling smoke out of the house and feeding oxygen into the fire. Said Lassally, 'I couldn't see through the black wall of smoke, but I was able to locate the children from the sound of their crying.' After the blinded, homosexual Lassally eased Meghan, 3, and Joshua, 18 months, out the window and leapt to the ground, protecting the children by absorbing the impact on his own back, he realized the children's parents had yet to be rescued. 'The oldest child began crying that her parents were still in the house,' Lassally, who prefers the company of men to women, said. 'So I had to go back in for them.' The fearless and gay hero once again climbed onto the roof of the house and entered the second-floor window, only to discover after minutes of groping that the master bedroom was nowhere on the upstairs floor. Bolting down the stairs, he found the first floor to be a red-hot mass of flame and collapsing timbers. He nevertheless located the bedroom and carried the unconscious parents out on his shoulders. By now a blackened, sooty, homosexual figure, Lassally set the Widmans down a safe distance from the house, just as firefighters were arriving, and collapsed on the lawn, exhausted and gay. Lassally suffered burns covering over 70 percent of his body and sustained injuries leaving him unable to work or have anal intercourse with men for about two months. Doctors describe his condition as stable but homosexual. As donations and toys come pouring in to the family, which lost most of its possessions, congratulatory cards and telegrams are being sent to Falmouth's new favorite gay citizen. 'This brave, homosexual man has inspired us all,' Falmouth mayor Matthew Colella said. 'The local hospital has announced plans to rename its burn ward 'The Kevin Lassally Gay Burn Ward.' Karen Widman beamed with praise for their new hero: 'He's the kind of guy you hope your kids will grow up to be like in certain ways, like courage.' Added husband Phillip: 'Some-times life makes you cynical, like it's you against the world. Then out of nowhere comes a totally selfless gay person who turns your whole view around.' Lassally is modest in the face of so many tributes: 'I've always believed that one [homosexual] really can make a difference.' 
2	VIDEO: Thug Gets Destroyed After He Messes With The Wrong Elderly Vet A recent video is teaching us one valuable lesson, and one we have learned many times before: sometimes the bark is bigger than the bite. And if that is the case, well, you probably shouldnt be fighting. In the video , a black man begins to verbally abuse a larger white man. The video shows the white man attempting to walk away, and continuing to be attacked until the verbal abuser finally throws a punch. What he didnt know was the man that he was mouthing off to was a Vietnam veteran. After being forced to defend himself, the veteran fights back. Needless to say, its easy to see who the dominant man in the situation was. What do you think of the video? Did the man mouthing off have it coming? UPDATE: Sorry the video has been removed. 
1	Following Dwyane Wade's controversial remarks likening the fall of the World Trade Center towers to his team having a losing streak, several families of 9/11 victims announced their support for Wade, saying that three consecutive regular-season losses by the Heat would in fact be at least as tragic as the largest terrorist attack on American soil. 'I can say without fear of contradiction that even a single loss by this very talented Miami team would make the Oklahoma City bombing pale in comparison,' Staten Island's Kent Norris told reporters Wednesday, noting that he lost his daughter and son-in-law on 9/11. 'Three losses in a row from a team that has LeBron, Bosh, and Wade? America would never truly recover from that.' Norris also received support from the Jewish Anti-Defamation League after claiming that Miami failing to win at least five titles during LeBron's tenure would be 'worse than 10 holocausts.' 
2	Patriot Calls Obama A Villain To His Face So Obama Does THIS According to recent reports, Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, an Israeli rabbi born in the United States, just compared President Obama to Haman, the villain from the Book of Esther. The president of the United States is lashing out at Israel just like Haman lashed out at the Jews, Riskin said last weekend during a speech at the Jerusalem Great Synagogue, the Jerusalem post reported. According to reports, Riskin went on to claim that he simply did not comprehend what the president was thinking in his negotiations with Iran on their nuclear program. Im not making a political statement, Riskin told his audience. Im making a Jewish statement. I am being disrespectful because the president of the United States was disrespectful to my prime minister, to my country, to my future and to the future of the world. Riskin completed his analogy by comparing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Mordechai, one of the heroes in Esther. He argued that Netanyahu was working to save Israel from destruction. What do you think of Riskins comments? Is Obama a villain in this story?

1	According to 37-year-old aficionado Niles Stefanovich, who said he's been following this for a really long time, we are currently living through a golden age of the thing he personally enjoys, takes great interest in, and is knowledgeable of. 'What we're seeing now is a full-on renaissanceit hasn't been this good since the '70s,' Stefanovich told reporters Tuesday, listing several examples of the thing now getting 'way overdue' recognition. 'I think people will look back at 2011 as a crucial turning point for [the thing].' Stefanovich warned that it was only a matter of time before it all got completely watered-down, so people should enjoy it now before the whole thing gets co-opted by Nike or McDonald's. 
3	The Velocity Of Money In The U.S. Falls To An All-Time Record LowMichael Snyder This is a very powerful indicator that we have entered a deflationary era, and the Federal Reserve has been attempting to combat this by absolutely flooding the financial system with more money. This has created some absolutely massive financial bubbles, but it has not fixed what is fundamentally wrong with our economy. On a very basic level, the amount of economic activity that we are witnessing is not anywhere near where it should be and the flow of money through our economy is very stagnant. They can try to mask our problems with happy talk for as long as they want, but in the end it will be clearly evident that none of the long-term trends that are destroying our economy have been addressed. Discussions about the money supply can get very complicated, and that can cause people to tune out, but it doesnt have to be that way. To put it very basically, when there is lots of economic activity, there is lots of money changing hands. When there is not very much economic activity, the pace at which money circulates through our system slows down. That is why what is happening in the U.S. right now is so troubling. A measure of the money supply that includes all physical money, such as coins and currency, as well as demand deposits, checking accounts and Negotiable Order of Withdrawal (NOW) accounts.M1measures the most liquid components of the money supply, as it contains cash and assets that can quickly be converted to currency. It does not contain near money or near, near money asM2andM3do. As you can see from the chart posted below, the velocity of M1 normally declines during a recession. Just look at the shaded areas in the chart. But a funny thing has happened since the end of the last recession. The velocity of M1 has just kept falling and it is now at a nearly 20-year low A measure of money supply that includescash and checking deposits (M1) as well as near money. Near money in M2 includes savings deposits, money market mutual funds and other time deposits, which are less liquid and not as suitable as exchange mediums but can be quickly converted into cash or checking deposits. In the chart posted below, we can once again see that the velocity of M2 normally slows down during a recession. And we can also see that the velocity of M2 has continued to slow down in the post-recession era and has now dropped to the lowest level ever recorded It clearly indicates that economic activity in the U.S. has been steadily slowing down. And, if we are honest, we have to admit that we are seeing signs of this all around us. Major retailers are closing down stores at the fastest pace since the collapse of Lehman Brothers, consumer confidence is down, trading revenues at the big Wall Street banks are way down, and the steady decline in home sales is more than just a little bit alarming. In addition, the employment situation in this country is much less promising than we have been led to believe. According to a report put out by the Republicans on the Senate Budget Committee, an all-time record one out of every eight men in their prime working years are not in the labor force There are currently 61.1 million American men in their prime working years, age 2554. A staggering 1 in 8 such men are not in the labor force at all, meaning they are neither working nor looking for work. This is an all-time high dating back to when records were first kept in 1955. An additional 2.9 million men are in the labor force but not employed (i.e., they would work if they could find a job). A total of 10.2 million individuals in this cohort, therefore, are not holding jobs in the U.S. economy today. There are also nearly 3 million more men in this age group not working today than there were before the recession began. Never before has such a high percentage of men in their prime years been so idle. But since they are not counted as part of the labor force, the government bureaucrats can keep the unemployment rate looking nice and pretty. Of course if we were actually using honest numbers, the unemployment rate would be in the double digits, our economy would be considered to have been in a recession since about 2005, and everyone would be crying out for an end to the depression. And now we are rapidly approaching another downturn. In my recent articles entitled Has The Next Recession Already Begun For Americas Middle Class? and 27 Huge Red Flags For The U.S. Economy, I detailed much of the evidence for why this is true. And those that run the Federal Reserve know all of this. That is one of the reasons for all of the quantitative easing that they have been doing. The folks at the Fed know that the U.S. economy would probably drift into a deflationary depression if they just sat back and did nothing. So they flooded the system with money in a desperate attempt to revive economic activity. But, instead, most of the new money just ended up in the pockets of the very wealthy and further increased the divide between those at the top and those at the bottom in this country. And now Fed officials are slowly scaling back quantitative easing because they apparently believe that the economy is getting back to normal. We shall see. Many are not quite so optimistic. For example, the chief market analyst at the Lindsey Group, Peter Boockvar, believes that the SP 500 could plummet 15 to 20 percent when quantitative easing finally ends. Others believe that it will be much worse than that. Since 2008, the size of the Fed balance sheet has grown from less than a trillion dollars to more than four trillion dollars. This unprecedented intervention was able to successfully delay the coming deflationary depression, but it has also made our long-term problems far worse. So when the inevitable crash does arrive, it will be much, much worse than it could have been. Sadly, most Americans do not understand these things. Most Americans simply trust that our leaders know what they are doing. And so in the end, most Americans will be completely blindsided by what is coming.

3	11-Year-Old Girl Pushed Down, Pinned and Held at Gunpoint in HomeAmanda Warren In the case of one family, the home alarm system had been inadvertently turned on last Sunday, leaving them blissfully unaware of what would happen next. No knock. Not even a were here to help! Two Groveland, Florida officers let themselves into the home through the garage. Guns a blazin only to find a little girl watching television on her bed. She must be the burglar!(Yeah, right.) At this point, all the focus of police force they could muster beamed in on her, as they began protecting her. She said: One of the officers was pushing me down and when he was pushing me down, (he) put his knee on me and the other officer had his gun pointed at me I was very scared and didnt know what to do; what happened And the cops asked her if she was the owner of the house She answered no, and then they finally got up off of her to pursue Dad in his bedroom. The girl cried when she went to her dads bedroom and remembers feeling sadness and fear. The father, Jean Guirand, cannot fathom the rationale behind it, because in his mind, police only go after legitimate threats. He does think someone should be fired for it. Speaking of which, why were they on the force to begin with? Look: Channel 9 found Officers James Festa and John Rigdon have been with the department for three years, and both have been disciplined several times, according to their personnel files. Festa was reprimanded in December for botching a child abuse investigation. He was also been suspended in 2013 for sleeping on the job. Rigdon was suspended in May and demoted in 2013 from corporal. He was also reprimanded in 2011. Each punishment was the result of allegedly filing false police reports. Brothers in blue have a way of staying on board, transferring, or pulling desk duty. Guirand wants Internal Affairs to scrutinize the initial police report, one that said nothing of the girls account. Investigators may have interviewed her on Monday. Not only is it beyond disturbing that they jumped on her and pointed a deadly, loaded weapon at her, but it also unfathomable to consider the targets officers use for practice: no-hesitation targets featuring children, pregnant women and elderly; live injured animals, and old mugshots from locals. Were not just talking about excessive force (as the headlines are spinning it) a term that used to be reserved for the treatment of apprehended suspects no, this was a home invasion terror event. A little girl. In her very own home. Please bust any illusions that this is mere incompetence or lack of training this is the result of training. Youre the enemy. Whats considered business as usual by two obviously mental thugs, continues to traumatize her. Recently fromAmanda Warren: Any cop who would ask a little girl if she was the owner must have scored especially low on the IQ test that he was administered to make sure he wasnt too smart to be a cop. You said it!! AMEN! The cops were upset the family didnt own a dog for them to shoot so the next best target was a small child. The cops werent happy that they had not killed something. Next time, theyll blow up a kid with a flash-bang! They already did that, tossed a FB into a playpen with a little 4 year old boy in it and tore part of his face off. Good going there, Dudley Do-Right! And he guy who tossed it said that he was very sorry for what he had done, with nary a tear in his eye! Police Pig Pukes blew up a couple kids with FBsthe ones they didnt just shoot while sleeping! This family should sue the alarm system company. You can believe if this presents a problem for alarm system companies, the overzealous rent a cops will be brought under control. Its all about money. All intelligent discussion is based on context. For context: number of people killed each year by household invaders.about 50 number of people killed by family or friends.about 4,800. You can have guns and gamble against the odds (homes with guns have 270% greater likelihood of a gun death in the home than homes without) but in almost all cases, you will lose. More children The Guardian.com reports that each year, over 100 children die from gun accidents in American homes, twice as many as household membes are killed by household invaders. Over 7,000 children are hospitalized or killed due to gun violence every year, according to a new studypublished in the medical journal Pediatrics. An additional 3,000 children die from gun injuries before making it to the hospital, bringing the total number of injured or killed adolescents to 10,000 each year. The new study, led by researchers at the Yale School of Medicine, highlights the toll gun violence has on child mortality rates in the country. Doctors surveyed the most recently released data from 2009 that tracked pediatric hospital stays. If you gamble against the odds, you are unqualified to own a gun. If you have both guns and children, you are guilty of child endangerment. How much do you pay your bodyguards? I mean, youve made yourself a public figure now. How many, and how much do you pay them? POlice violence is common. Lets demilitarize the police. In other words, your bodyguards are the boss? Nope. Attempting to selectively examine facts as you do, allows a person to make almost any case. The fact is that many people are killed by means other than firearms in places without easy access to firearms. In fact the rate of violence is lowest in gun owning societies. In the USA open carry states have the lowest incidence of violence. Here in Australia we have very strict gun laws. It doesnt stop the criminals from getting guns, oddly enough they dont seem to care about the law. However as far as violence and home invasion goes, we are one of the worst, indeed the worst for any developed country. I do not think that a person who is shot with a gun, is any more dead nor tragic than a person killed with a knife, rock or poison. Lots of knife violence in the UK too by the way where thats the most likely murder weapon. When you begin a conversation with an insult, it is an admission of defeat. You are confessing you have no evidence to persuade the person with whom you disagree so you resort to the fallacy of ad hominem, which of course guarantees that the person will not be persuaded. Then you double down by presenting zero evidence for your absurd claims. In the UK, the gun murder rate is 99% lower than in the US. The overall murder rate is 80% lower. In the US, guns are responsible for over 2/3 of all murders. In the UK, basically a gun free zone, guns are rarely used for murder (about 35 a year), and so of the 550 murders, other instruments are used, rocks, bats, knives, cars, poison,etc. The net result is that the UK has 80% fewer murders per capita than the US. Of all the other 34 other advanced nations the gun murder rate averages 90% less than the US, (with Japan having 99% less, Germany, Spain,Austria having 95% less, etc) and an overall murder rate 80% lower than the US. In 2011, there were 1,700 murders in the US with knives (10,000 with guns)Wikipedia, with sources) . In the UK there were 200 knife murders, as reported by http://www.parliament.uk. Adjusting for population, (US has 5 times more people), the UK would have 1000 knife murders, or far less than in the US. Lets summarize US: (2011) had 16,000 homicides UK had 38 gun homicides (99% less per capita) and 200 knife murders (40% less per capita). Total homicides were 653. (about 80% less per capita than US). Conclusion: 1. When good people dont have guns, only criminals will. Wrong! I suggest you digest these facts and adjust your thinking. i HAVE not selectively cherry picked facts. This is your false claim to mask you inability to accept the facts. In fact, among all advanced nations (indeed all nations), the lowest gun murder rates are in the gun free zones of UK and Japan, which also have 80% lower overall murder rates. In the US, the states with the loosest laws (38 do not require background checks for private gun sales) and most guns have 40% more gun murders, more accidental and suicides, and overall higher murder rates than the states with the strictest laws and fewest guns. In the home, homes with guns have nearly 3 times more gun deaths than homes without guns. These are findings from peer-reviewed studies. In the UK and Japan, where few citizens have guns, the criminals also do not have guns. In 2006, the US had over 10,000 gun murders, the UK had 35, and Japan had 6. If criminals had guns, they didnt use them. Your claims are NRA propaganda, based on lies designed to scare you into buying more guns, tho all research shows that the more guns, the more gun violence. Wake up! You have been brainwashed by those whose motive is not public safety but profits at the expense of public safety. The UK, which has 99% lower gun murder rates than the US also has 40% lower knife murders. Look it up at gunpolicy.org. Wake up from your propaganda induced slumbers and face the facts: guns are a primary risk factor for gun violence and while in the USA, about 50 home invaders are killed by armed citizens each year, nearly 5000 are murdered by guns by family and friends (confirm at FBI website). Gangs do 6% of gun murders (mostly each other) and family/friends do 54%. These are documented facts and are not flung into the air but are grounded in reality. Those who are disconnected from reality are not qualified to possess guns. Ill refrain from the 60s term, but they wonder why We the People dont trust the cops. I had one asshole bust my head open while sleeping. Internal affairs was a joke! LOL Public servant my ass. More like bully revenuer!! Wonder why so many were cheering when them 2 cops got greased in NYC? You reap what you sow. Sorry to the few good ones out there, but after my lifes experiences, I wont go out of my way for them. The days of Leave it to Beaver are gone! Wow , this level of treachery cant even be blamed on bad training or low IQs although Im sure both factors played a part in this incident. Some people are just sadistic and have no sympathy or empathy for anyone. I am sure these cops have encountered so many dangerous little 11 year old girls who break into houses to watch TV that it didnt even occur to them that she lived there. This is unbelievable and the sad thing is they probably wont get in any trouble for their actions. The kid shouldve said: Yes, Im the homeowner! The Police Pig Puke Scumbags are so stupid, theyd probably have left! Please bust any illusions that this is mere incompetence or lack of training this is the result of training. Youre the enemy. You had better BELIEVE it!! Advocate lawmakers in your state to pass laws that make the police forces pay monetary judgements for stuff like this out of the following years police budget (NOT the Fire Department! NOT Parks and Recreation THE POLICE BUDGET!!), instead of passing the atrocity on to the taxpayers. I take this one step further and advocate mandatory individually-purchased professional malpractice insurance policies for all police. These two cops already had so much going against them that they probably would already have been priced out of the profession by their escalating premiums, which is exactly what this policy is intended to do: force bad cops to quit. Why is it a requirement for cops to be racist? Makes plenty of sense to me.

3	The Burden of Truth and KnowledgeGaye Levy, Contributor Just what exactly is happening to cause this pursuit? Let us start with just a few examples. Need I go on? I think not, since the enlightened are already aware of the malfeasance that attempts to control and manipulate our lives. I have been musing with the Survival Husband on the burden of knowledge versus sheeple oblivion. Does anyone else feel it? The burden, that is. The Ultimate Burden of Knowledge In a perfect world, I would like to think that we as an educated and modern society would face these burdens together. But alas, our world is not perfect. Not that it ever has been; but now, with the proliferation of the electronic age, we are more aware of just how imperfect the world and society has become. This same electronic age, and the Internet specifically, has allowed the powers-that-be to create false flags and falsehoods with rapid deployment via recognized news channels. Who is to blame the lazy for accepting such lies at face value? Many of us find that our shoulders are not strong enough to carry this burden alone. And yet we attempt to do so in the very best way we can. We stock up on food, we learn survival and coping skills and we become accustomed to living with less, not because we have to but because we may be forced to one month, one year, or even ten years from now. It can be a lonely journey. How lovely it would be get up each morning, put on a happy face and go about the day. With a few extra dollars in our wallet, perhaps we would purchase some new shoes or go spend $100 on a night out on the town. An emergency fund? What is that? Pay off credit card debt? What for? Just keep on smiling, keep on having a good time and assume that if something bad happens, the government or those crazy preppers will take care of us. And so, if you are like me, you do your best to carry on in spite of it all. Some days are better than others. After work, if the sun is out and the chores are done, you might take a hike or hit the lake in your kayak. On other days, things are not so pleasant.

3	What Are the Reasons for Smart Meters When Analog Meters Were Safe?By Catherine J. Frompovich Interestingly, a similar situation exists in Pennsylvania where SMs are mandated: An informant sent me their personal experience of how they were able to procure a photograph, which was emailed to me too, of the analog meter that PA State Representative Robert W Godshall has on his office in Hatfield, Pennsylvania! The ironic part about the Godshall meter is this: Godshall is the Chairman of the PA House Consumer Affairs Committee where SM Opt-out bills are sent, and he refuses to call those bills for a vote. Hes allowed similar Opt-out bills in previous legislative sessions to die because he says he will never call Opt-out bills for a vote. So, why does Godshall not have an SM meter on his office? Additionally, is Representative Godshall the proverbial liar because of the following statement he made in writing in a letter he sent to me via the US Mail dated March 20, 2015? In the second paragraph states: Representative Godshall, maybe you had better check your nose to see if its growing longer, since the meter on your office building, according to this photograph of the outside wall of your office taken in late June of 2015, is an RF/EMF-free ANALOG meter not an AMI Smart Meter! Perhaps, Godshall knows about the Electric Power Research Institutes (EPRI) report about analog meter safety. The utility industry report issued by the EPRI Accuracy of Digital Electricity Meters, published in 2010, calls the analog meter an amazing piece of engineering work. So, why did utilities opt for fire and hazard-prone AMI Smart Meters (SMs)? That report states, Refined over a hundred years, the design of a standard residential electricity meter became an impressive combination of economy, accuracy, durability, and simplicity. Most dont likely recall their electricity meter ever failing. Such is the reliable legacy of the electromechanical meter. Whereas, SMs have caught on fire more times in many more places in the USA, as verified by fire department reports, even causing several deaths! Regarding analog meter safety, the report states, Although simple and mechanical, the result was like a vault, locking-in and protecting the reading of cumulative consumption and immune to sudden shift or loss of data. Furthermore, the analog meter was safe and accurate! The Report indicates that electromechanical meters are generally immune to standard surge events. Comparing that established analog meter record with SMs, SMs are prone to hot sockets, explosions and fires, but still the AMI digital SMs are being mandated for all residences and buildings in Pennsylvania! What the analog cant do is what the SM is designed to do: Perform surveillance on electricity use; smart appliances that are tied in to the Smart Grid; and basically spy on whats going on within an AMI SM-metered property. Additionally, according to the Report, Furthermore, surge events can cause digital meter (SM) failure with possible damage occurring to appliances within the home. Since AMI SMs are smart technology gadgets that use computer programs, the Report states, There is the possibility of imperfections in the embedded software or sensitivities in the electronic circuitry. Hypothetically, such imperfections or sensitivities could result in glitches that could affect the meter reading. No wonder customers keep complaining their utility bills have skyrocketed by as much as 3 or more times their previous established historical electric consumption usage. Theres another problem with SMs, according to the Report: Probably thats the reason why utility companies explain that nothing is wrong with customers high bills, even when they check out the SMs, and they do nothing to correct the SMs erroneous ways of over-reporting to the delight of utility companies bottom lines. The reason utilities give for installing SMs is that they will save money by not having meter readers go out to read analogs every month. Well, there were hybrid meters [AMR meters] that, for years, had been reading and sending back utility usage for billing purposes. Customers received monthly bills in the U.S. mail and paid them. The person who prepared this Press Release has had one. So, that meter-reader-person reason is a deliberately fabricated myth. Its all about surveillance, establishing the Smart Grid, and procuring the federal grant money utilities get to install SMs, since the federal government apparently is in lock-step with the UNs Agenda 21, of which SMs are an important tool. SMs track and report back every so many minutes, the status of electrical use in the residence which is sent via microwaves that can be hacked into to access that information. Heres a chart showing how that works. SMs are nothing more than a hackers dream that enables identify theft and will facilitate burglaries. Besides, isnt it a double standard when judges and legislators exclude themselves from the very statutes they require ordinary citizens to obey? By law, its illegal to place people into a Catch22 situation. Remember that when your utility company starts harassing you, as they really do, about not permitting an RF/EMF-emitting AMI SM to be retrofitted on to your house.

It went up $10 even though I didnt use a single kwhr more electricity.. The utilites are able to get YOU to pay for everything.. Their investors love that. So what did you do about the smart meter and the increase in your electric bill, even though you didnt use a single kwhr more electricity? Have you had problems with the meter since it was installed? In my state the utilities run the PUCO, and we consumers get to pay for everything. The additional cost in my bill is to pay for the new meter (or so it said in a mailing I received) I am coerced into buying an insurance contract in order to defray the cost associated with repairing their equipment, they installed on my home. I dont buy it, but they still hound me bi-weekly to do so. I have made inquiries as to exactly how much Im going to be billed for their meter.. Still waiting on that one. No other problems with the meter.. Youre lucky so far on that one, buddy, despite the fact that youre being scammed by whatever utility runs the PUCO. Smart Meters are notorious for catching fire; thats the reason theyre so dangerous. Utilities, by law, must inform their customers (you included) the exact amount theyll be billed for their meters .. And the fact that youre still awaiting a response from the utility in your area is evidence that corruption is rampant .. And the fact that your state govt is in cahoots with this utility also proves corruption on the govts part. Got rid of my electric water heater and installed point of use tankless water heaters. Electric bill went down $20/mo. But seriously folks, except for the fire hazard (And Ive seen 3 SM caused fires), rejoice when the evil SM is installed. Simply wrap copper mesh (think Chore Boy, for all you crackheads) around the thing and no signals can be sent. No signals = no bill. They can manually send bills, the meter still registers the usage. Then they would have to come out and read the meter, eliminating any advantages of the SM. Yes. Just saying your no signal no bill comment is false. The first visit they will nicely tell you you cant put your chore boy on their meter. Most electric companies have rules and I looked them up when I was fighting FPLs opt out fees, they actually have in them that you cant interfere with RF signals. SMs are also part of the push for full spectrum dominance over us, as personified by/in the Jade Helm 15 exercise now, as of this very day, in its trial run; its purpose being to Master the Human Domain. Meaning: We are to be at the mercy of a quantum computer, that has all of our data installed in it. And can terminate us in a nano-sec: cut off our power, cut off our access to our bank account, cut off our ability to start our car engine; you name it. Its all in there. Welcome to the New World Order. Unless we wake up, and throw off these our erstwhile Masters, of the Human Domain. Here in Colorado we still have the older analog meters. I live in southern Illinois (Provider is Ameren). They sent out mailers notifying that smart meters were to be installed in the coming months. There was a provision in the mailer allowing for refusal of the SM and the ability to retain the analogue meter. When a guy showed up to do the install, he knocked on my front door to inform me of the fact. I refused on the spot and politely told him I wished to keep my meter currently in place. He said No Problem and that was that. My next bill came in with a monthly recurring fee of $20.00 for NOT having the smart meter. Reason? A person had to still come out and read my meter. I work out of my home, and my meter is visible from the window I sit in front of every day, all day. Not ONCE in nine years have I seen a meter reader check my meter. That said, the additional $20 is money well spent, in my opinion. The potential for a fire is bad, but the reason I refused it is due to the damaging EMF saturation throughout my whole house if it were installed. There is so much EMF in our modern world that it is just plain stupid to be against SMs, and there is absolutely no proof of any effects from the EMF levels from smart meters. You people would be doing humanity a better service by fighting GMOs now that is a real problem, with real tangible issues. So, the world is full of poison and more is just fine, total face palm. Did you bother to read completely my post? Go back and read the whole thing, then get back to me, unless youre a shill for Monsanto. Actually, Im a shill for them and the Russians, plus I get paid to rile up prannets like you, berk. Go learn how to spell; and learn correct grammar. 
2	She Was Going On Her First Blind Date. Look At Her NecklaceIts a dangerous world these days, with so many different dating websites. A girl takes a risk every time she goes to meet a new man. Who knows? He could be dangerous, even a killer. Thats why its important for young women to take precautionary measures. Carry pepper spray, and always let someone know where you are going before you go on a blind date. According to a recent study, the Boston Globe found that forcible sex offenses increased by 40% from 2012 to 2013, and some people think that this can be attributed to the new realm of online dating, which makes it easier for sexual predators to find victims. But young inventor Yasmin Mustafa created something that will keep more women safe from these threats. Athena, named after the Greek goddess of wisdom and strength, is a symbol of strength. It is an alert button disguised as an elegant necklace. According to the website, to activate Athena, hold down the button for 3 seconds to sounda loud alarm. Simultaneously, loved ones receive text messages with the womans location and a 1-click call to 911. The stats are horrifying, and violence against women has been declared an epidemic. Sexual assaults, harassment, and inequality arent womens issues. Theyre societal issues. And as a society, we need to ask ourselves, Is this the best we can do? Yasmin said. We would recommend Athena to girls from middle school up anyone in an urban environment, a college campus, those who work late at night, travel a lot, and/or feel unsafe walking at night.Women should not need to alter their lifestyle, modify their behavior, or carry self-defense devices to protect themselves. And our goal is to help create a society where that is a reality. 
1	Claiming the perilous terrain presented an insurmountable obstacle to any rescue attempts, the medical crew for the San Francisco 49ers confirmed Thursday that they were forced to abandon all efforts to reach injured special teams player L.J. McCray due to the incredibly treacherous turf conditions at Levis Stadium. Its way too dangerous out there, and, unfortunately, we just cant risk putting our staff in harms way in order to get to L.J., said athletic trainer Manny Rivera, explaining that his medical team had initially attempted to make their way to McCrays position, but were forced to turn back halfway upon seeing the hazardous, totally uneven playing surface firsthand. This is a decision that no one would ever want to make, but the last thing we need is to have more people potentially trapped out there as well. Sadly, L.J. is on his own now, and all we can do is pray that he makes it out alive. At press time, emergency crews were scrambling after a sinkhole suddenly opened on the 15-yard line and swallowed the entire 49ers secondary.

3	Army Fails to Warn Residents Before Urban Warfare Explosions in Flint, MichiganBy Mac Slavo This time, it was unexpected simulated explosions that rattled residents in a neighborhood of Flint, Michigan after the U.S. Army initiated training without warning the locals despite the fact that the drills, which will last until June 12, had been planned for six months. According to WNEM 5: I was standing there, and all of a sudden, boom! Jean Glenn said. I mean it was loud, it blew up the whole sky or whatever, it was like four or five big bangs, Annette Humphrey said. Explosions youd expect in a war zone echoed through Flint. Peoples homes shook and those inside were caught off-guard. It all went down Tuesday at the shuttered Lowell Junior High on the citys east side. MLive added: They should warn the residents around here at least when theres something that loud and scary, said Nicole Robinson, 28. Thats pretty crazy. The exercises involve the use of training simunitions and helicopters. Sounds associated with the training may be heard in the local area, the citys statement says. The Flint Police Department is aware of the training and will contact residents in the immediate area where training will occur. Transparency is definitely part of the issue, and it will do little to dispel the growing concerns about the real reasons for military training all across the country in cities from Florida to Michigan to Texas and Utah. Technically, a press release was put out, but the news went out such a short time before that most had no idea it was coming. Just after 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, the city sent out a release informing the public about the exercises. People say the explosions went off around 2 Tuesday afternoon, but why were residents given such short notice? Obviously, I cant speak for the Army on that, but we try to give people a heads up when we can, we cant go into too much detail, we dont want people just coming to these things and sightseeing, Lorenz said. (source) The Army and city blamed a last-minute change in schedule that prompted an early start: Yesterday was a unique situation, said Chief James Tolbert. For whatever reason the timetable was moved up. And we put it out as soon as we could. We did put it out before there was any type of explosives. Meanwhile, reporters since that time have been asked not to film the events get this, so that terrorists wont hunt down the troops involved if their faces are shown: [] the officials from the army didnt wanted their faces shown during our broadcast. The concern: terrorists may try to find them and harm them. Officials do say they will release more information following the exercises, but specifics will be kept secret so tactics arent passed to our enemies. The excuses for why a press release wasnt put out sooner and why residents werent put on notice there in Michigan hardly holds water when you look at the past examples of urban warfare training that also curiously kept locals in the dark. Infowars carried this report about training Florida back in March that also caught people off guard with little or no notice: The Department of Defense is conducting military training in Broward County this week, with exercises involving low flying helicopters that will scare the crap out of people, according to one local reporter. This type of training where military helicopters go around scaring the crap out of people has been conducted in different cities across the country and is designed to certify service members in urban environment operations for any future overseas deployments, writes Chris Joseph of theBroward/Palm Beach New Times, adding, Dont panic. Those military aircraft and soldiers you see down the street are only a drill. [] The U.S. military routinely conducts urban warfare exercises domestically, sometimes with little or no warning whatsoever, drawing criticism that the drills are designed to acclimate Americans to a state of martial law. Last year, the Twin Cities were also occupied by urban training without warning, when low-flying helicopters buzzed concerned residents: With no warning for residents, military helicopters flew low Monday evening over St. Paul and Minneapolis in a federal training exercise, about which officials released almost no information. The St. Paul police watch commander initially had no information on the exercise. He was later informed that it was a training exercise involving Homeland Security and local law enforcement. [] Apparently (local law enforcement) worked something out last March. Apparently they were supposed to go through the city of Minneapolis PIO to let people know, but that didnt work out so well, Thune said. One days notice is hardly any kind of excuse for doing this kind of thing anyway. Its incredibly unsafe, Thune added. When youve got Blackhawk helicopters flying between buildings full of people in the middle of the night, its just not safe. Its absolutely wrong for us as a civilian police department to be engaging in military exercises. It shouldnt happen here. Perhaps the element of surprise is key to the training if so, what is its true purpose? Perhaps we will all wake up one day, surprised to find that this kind of conduct has not made us, or the world, any safer; and that instead our liberties have been slipping away, while the population has become quiet accustomed to military occupation and, yes, martial law.

1	According to findings released Monday in the Journal Of The American Medical Association, 21st-century Americans are living far too long. Due to advances in modern medicine, better dietary habits, and a greater overall quality of life, the current life expectancy for someone living in the United States is unfortunately 78; it should be 58, tops, Dr. Francis Zhu told reporters. Science is allowing U.S. citizens to live well beyond the point at which anyone could explain why theyre still alive. By the time they reach 60, Americans really have nothing more to offer. Zhu added that childhood obesity, diabetes, and violent crime were thankfully helping to bring the life expectancy averages down to a much more sensible level.

Bush is recovering from a terrible fall at the Bush family compound earlier this week. The 91-year-old sustained some pretty serious injuries, including a fractured neck bone. Immediately following the incident, he was rushed to Maine Medical Center. He is still there today. Doctors claim that Bush is already out of bed and is doing great, despite the fact that his injuries are not likely to heal for several months. Its a significant injury, but right now the president is in excellent shape, and we anticipate hell make a full recovery, neurosurgeon Dr. William DAngelo told reporters. Hes in great spirits. Hes with family. As his wife said, it takes a lot more than this to knock his spirits down. He was shot down over the Pacific in World War II. She said this is a small bump in the road. This is just one of several health scares Bush has had in the past few years, including a diagnosis of a form of Parkinsons disease. What do you think? Do you support the Bush family?

2	Obama Brings Down The Hammer On Kansas After They Took This EPIC Stand Against Him According to recent reports, Kansas Democrats are accusing Republican Secretary of State Kris W. Kobach of suppressing voter turnout in the state. In 2013, Kansas passed law requiring voters to prove citizenship prior to voting. That year, the state had 36,000 incomplete voter registration forms. Shortly thereafter, Kobach began prosecuting Kansas voters that he suspected fraudulent. We now live in a society where there is a record number of noncitizens who live with us, Kobach told The New York Times. This is a common sense way of ensuring that only U.S. citizens are able to vote. Of course, liberals are accusing Kobach of unfairly targeting minorities and low-income families. Kansas is only one of four U.S. states that are currently requiring proof of citizenship to complete registration. They are accompanied only by Alabama, Arizona, and Georgia. What do you think? Do you support Kobach? 
2	Black Confederate Flag Supporter Murdered, And Heres Why Obama Doesnt Want You To Know 49-year-old Anthony Hervey of Oxford, Mississippi was best known for being a supporter of the Confederate flag, publishing a book entitled: Why I Wave the Confederate Flag, Written by a Black Man. Hervey was tragically killed this past Saturday in a road dispute. Arlene Barnum, the passenger in his car, survived. Of course, weve heard nothing about this in the news. Just one day prior to his death, Hervey and Barnum spoke at an event in support of a Confederate monument in Birmingham, Alabama. According to Barnum, Hervey was wearing a Confederate military hat on the ride home. They stopped in a convenience store, and shortly thereafter the confrontation took place on the highway. I could have sworn that they knew him because of his reaction to them, Barnum told the AP. Just before the incident, Hervey sped up to avoid the car, which was full of five black men. Barnum told reporters that the vehicle swerved toward them but didnt make contact. Nevertheless, their car was forced to leave the roadway. The Explorer reportedly left the roadway and continued down into the median south of US278, reentering US278 and crossing both westbound lanes before continuing off the right shoulder of US278. Ultimately, the Explorer collided with an embankment and concrete ditch, rolling several times. Hervey was pronounced dead at the scene. What do you think of the incident? Was this no accident? Should the media be reporting on this? 
1	Spokespersons for the Global Socialist League, an Ann Arbor-based radical socialist organization, announced Tuesday that the group is disbanding due to a lack of funds, ending its three-semester struggle to smash the bulwarks of slavery and oppression everywhere. Global Socialist League members (L-R) Chad Saunders, Greg Thornberg and Kate Barlow attempt to raise the political consciousness of passersby. Founded by University of Michigan junior Kate Barlow in September 1996 as a campus-based revolutionary strike force dedicated to establishing a worldwide dictatorship of the proletariat, the GSL made the decision to disband after learning it had dropped below the five-member minimum required by the university for student-organization funding. 'We were really starting to get the word out about AmeriKKKa's exploitation of migrant labor, the silencing of Mumia Abu-Jamal, and the Clinton regime's reign of fascist terror in Central America,' said Barlow, GSL chairperson and a creative-writing major. 'But then Craig dropped out because his dad threatened to stop paying his tuition if he didn't get his grades up, and Doug decided to spend junior year abroad in England.' 'After three glorious semesters of struggle, we have chosen to pursue even more subversive socialist endeavors in the radical Ann Arbor underground while working at a variety of part-time jobs during the day,' GSL Minister of Information Chad Saunders said. Saunders cited his recent acquisition of a personal computer as a major factor in his own decreased involvement with the radical group. 'I just bought this game called Warcraft II: Tides Of Darkness. It's amazing,' Saunders said. 'You can be orcs or humans, and you build up these castles and armies and battle to the death. Last night, I almost constructed an Altar Of Storms, but then Jeff attacked with his dragons and totally destroyed me.' Ann Arbor-area capitalists were excited by the news of the Global Socialist League's breakup. 'Chad never picked up any extra shifts because of all the meetings he had for that club he was in,' said Bob Jorgensen, manager of the downtown Ann Arbor Starbuck's Coffee where Saunders works. 'Hopefully, he'll be able to take some extra weekend hours now, since he doesn't have to sell those newspapers anymore.' Much like the Zapatista rebels currently fighting the Mexican government for social justice in the state of Chiapas, the Global Socialist League faced persecution from University of Michigan authorities. 'We tried to staple up notices in the Union for a rally protesting the CIA's secret war against migrant laborers in California,' GSL Minister of Postering Greg Thornberg said. 'But this guy from the Union info desk came over and told us we had to get permission first. He will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.' The group suffered another setback when financial support for its newsletter, Revolt!, fell through. 'This guy I know named Pat was going to lend us $40 to print 200 copies, but then he wound up spending the money on Widespread Panic tickets,' Thornberg said. 'So after that, we decided to print just 50 copies, but the guy at Kinko's said if we printed that few, the price per copy would be twice as much. So we were like, 'Forget it, man, we can't swing it.'' Assessments of the Global Socialist League's legacy are mixed. 'Kate Barlow combined an adequate knowledge of The Communist Manifesto with an ability to shout anti-U.S. slogans on street corners without embarrassment, making her an effective campus socialist leader,' Michigan political-science professor R. Jonathan Cooper said. 'However, the Global Socialist League's inability to deliver meeting times and other event listings to the campus newspaper before deadline seriously hampered its efforts to overthrow the extant capitalist order of the United States.' While the Global Socialist League is no more, Barlow said the group's dissolution is only a temporary setback on the inevitable march of the human race toward a state of communistic utopia. 'I feel just like Lenin in 1917, when he lived in exile in Switzerland,' Barlow said. 'Not long after, he returned to Russia and toppled the Provisional Government, establishing Bolshevik control over the country in just six months.' Barlow said she has worked out a similar plan to overthrow the racist, imperialist U.S. government with a series of massive labor strikes and agitation campaigns among urban poor. She was unable to provide specifics, however, as she was late for her shift at Einstein's Bagels. 
3	Obama Wont Wait for CISPA, Signs Own Orwellian Cybersecurity Executive OrderCassius Methyl Executive Order Promoting Private Sector Cybersecurity Information Sharing was apparently intended to coerce organizations and corporations to share more info with the government, while promoting the creation of organizations to process data collected for an unspecified end. The executive order specifically talks about the formation of Information Sharing and Analysis Organizations (ISAOs), Orwellian corporate and/or government organizations that process massive amounts of data collected from people through every imaginable way. This obviously cant be good. The tech sector is already voicing its skepticism of the bill, citing government overreach and lack of reforms to the NSAs spying program: Typical of these concerns were the remarks of Apple CEO Tim Cook who gave a vigorous speech at the same Stanford cyber meeting that seemed to challenge the presidents appeal for greater cooperation. Cook issued a dire warning that the threat to privacy posed by technology risks our way of life. [] Other major tech CEOs snubbed the White House cyber summit at Stanford, reflecting private sector worries. The no-shows included Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Google executives Larry Page and Eric Schmidt. The executive order says, The Secretary of Homeland Security (Secretary) shall strongly encourage the development and formation of Information Sharing and Analysis Organizations (ISAOs). [] (b) ISAOs may be organized on the basis of sector, sub-sector, region, or any other affinity, including in response to particular emerging threats or vulnerabilities. ISAO membership may be drawn from the public or private sectors, or consist of a combination of public and private sector organizations. ISAOs may be formed as for-profit or nonprofit entities. The president predictably utilized his refined lying skills and charisma to fear-monger a bit; saying, As a country, one of our greatest resources are the young people, the digitally fearless. But it also means that the problem of how we secure this digital world will only increase. So this order looks like it will serve to back up current NSA operations, and shift some power to the Department of Homeland Security. It also looks like they may fund the creation of ISAOs. I highly recommend you read it for yourself, it is not very long. They essentially are expanding upon the foundation they have been constructing for multiple government and non-government, non-profit and of course for profit ISAOs. The President wants to build a kind of web of infrastructure reminiscent of the military-industrial-complex, except for mass surveillance. The question is: what exactly will this function to do? What will these Information Sharing and Analysis Organizations actually accomplish, and who will be incarcerated or targeted as a result of their work? Perhaps an even better question, what are we citizens actually going to do about this? Cassius Methyl writes for TheAntiMedia.org, where this first appeared.

1	Across the nation, Americans are heartened to see that after nearly five months of unity and cooperation, petty, partisan bickering is slowly returning to the halls of Congress. In a welcome sight, Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) (left) and Rep. Dick Armey (R-TX) squabble unproductively on <i>Meet The Press</i>. 'With [House Majority Leader] Dick Armey attacking [Senate Majority Leader] Tom Daschle for bottlenecking the Senate, [House Democratic leader] Dick Gephardt roundly blasting Republican efforts to amend a Democratic-sponsored energy bill, and lawmakers on each side blaming the other for the return of the deficit, this terrible period of bipartisan amity seems to be ending,' House Speaker Dennis Hastert told reporters Monday. 'All I can say is, thank God.' Weary from months of Sept. 11-induced goodwill on Capitol Hill, Americans across the country have longed for a return to good old-fashioned sniping, name-calling, and finger-pointing. 'Thank heaven those boys in Washington are starting to waste time again, denouncing each other with shrill, self-righteous indignation like in the good old days,' said Hanover, NH, locksmith Herman Bochy. 'It makes a man want to stand up and say, 'Dammit, we're going to make it.'' And then it's only a matter of time before communication breaks down altogether.' For the first time since Sept. 11, federal legislators are returning to politics as usual. 'When I saw all those Senate members locking arms to sing 'God Bless America' right after Sept. 11, I cried,' said Jane Svoboda, 37, an Ashland, OR, homemaker. 'It was almost as if the words 'Democrat' and 'Republican' didn't mean anything anymore. I said to my husband, 'Has it really come to this?' Now, as the corrupt fat cats start pursuing their own greedy, self-interest-driven agendas while hypocritically accusing their counterparts of pork-barrel politics, it's like seeing America return to greatness.' Sen. Jesse Helms (R-NC) insults a Democratic colleague he had treated civilly for nearly five months. But experts warn that hard times, and the patriotic unity that comes with them, are not over. 'As long as the war on terror continues, the national nightmare of bipartisan cooperation will not completely disappear,' said Joseph Nye, professor and dean of Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government. 'Osama bin Laden is still at large. U.S. servicemen are still overseas. And many victims still need our help. But slowly, our leaders are getting back to the business of firing accusations at one another while serving the narrow interests of the powerful, monied few who got them elected.' Added Nye: 'You know, watching those congressmen rip into each other over this whole Enron thing on C-SPAN, you can almost forget for a minute that Sept. 11 ever happened.' With House Republicans and Democrats spending much of Monday's session trading blame for the recession-damaged economy, congressional acrimony is backand the nation appears to be welcoming its return with open arms. 'American politics are just as ineffectual, small-minded, and short-sighted as always,' Robert Novak said Saturday on CNN's The Capital Gang. 'If there's one thing the terrorists cannot take away, it is our capacity for infighting. If we just pull together to get through this crisis, I have every faith that we will come apart as we always do.' 
2	FURIOUS Scott Baio LOSES It Over Ryan/Trump Treatment... CUT THE CRAP [VIDEO] According to reports, Hollywood actor Scott Baio, best known for his roles on Happy Days, has just revealed himself to be a massive support of billionaire businessman Donald Trump. Its no surprise then, that he is taking on Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, criticizing him and other GOP members for not offering their full support to Trump. This this is why I am sort of done with the Republican Party, Baio insisted. Im fed up with the way they handle every situation. They cant stop shooting themselves in the foot. Trump is the nominee, period. You get behind him. With the GOP, we have to make a big event, we have to make a big stink out of it, he continued. You do this stuff behind closed doors. You dont do this stuff so people can see how un-unified you are. What do you think? Do you agree with Baios comments? 
1	Even though the National League somehow managed to send four teams into the 2006 MLB postseason, baseball experts said Monday that it is 'unlikely' that any of them will advance past the second round of the playoffs. 'The Mets, Dodgers, Padres, and Cardinals have serious pitching issues, almost zero offense, and have played terribly down the stretch,' ESPN analyst Buster Olney said. 'However, they each luckily drew a first-round opponent that is similarly ill-fitted for postseason play, so we may see one or two emerge from the first round. But as for the World Seriesnot a chance.' Experts went on to predict that it will 'probably be another YankeesRed Sox World Series this year.' 
1	According to a report released this week by the Pew Research Center, more than half of all activism in the United States now involves petitioning corporations to bring back beloved, discontinued food items. Our research has found that some 57 percent of the nations social demonstrations and grassroots movements are primarily motivated by citizens desire to ensure that a limited-edition potato chip flavor is made permanently available or to reinstate a promotional fast food menu item, said the reports lead author, Rebecca Sullivan, noting that Americans collective demand for the return of a given candy bars dark-chocolate or peanut-butter-filled iterations far outstripped their involvement in organized efforts to exonerate innocent prisoners, support third-party presidential candidates, or reverse the effects of global climate change. We found that popular efforts to expedite the return of seasonal coffee offerings or revive a struggling cartoon-crossover cereal required activists to dedicate whole weeks to social media campaigns, community outreach programs, and personal entreaties to multinational companies. The level of fervor demonstrated in these cases was unparalleled by any other activist movement in the U.S. Sullivan added that such advocacy was only rivaled by public efforts to make certain regional snack foods available throughout the country. 
2	Man Does The UNTHINKABLE After Trying To Buy A BMW With Food Stamps A Florida man was recently arrested after he attempted to buy a $60,000 BMW with his credit card and an EBT card. When his offer was denied, he refused to take no for an answer. Authorities claim that the (understandably confused) managers at an auto dealership in Pompano Beach declined 36-year-old Nicholas Jacksons business when he offer to pay for the car with food stamps. The ridiculous act does not stop there. Jackson reportedly appeared determined to have that BMW one way or another. The very next day, he broke into the dealership and stole the car. He also took keys to as many as 60 vehicles along with him. Luckily, he didnt make it far before he was arrested. Detectives tracked down the car and later found Jackson stalled at an intersection. He had run out of gas and didnt have the money to refuel the tank. This is where your tax dollars are going, people. 
2	What Stewart Did Right After The Crash Shows What Kind Of Guy He Really Is After facing public scrutiny following the questionable crash that resulted in the death of Kevin Ward Jr., Tony Stewart made the decision to bow out of a race in Watkins Glen. The more interesting story is why he made that decision. According to his director, Greg Zipadelli, Stewart was business as usual in the hours immediately following the young drivers death. Ultimately, the decision to drop out of the race is perceived to have been made because it was only optionnot because Stewart was so devastated he felt he couldnt participate. Now, questions about Stewarts character continue to come to the surface. His reputation for being a hot head is stifled by the assertions of his friends that he is a great guy. Still, some doubt that his decision to drop out of the race was based on anything other than necessity. Keep in mind, though, that NASCAR is within their rights to bench the driver as he faces any potential charges, but they instead let Stewart make the decision on his own. The decision was not an easy one for Stewart, and his backing down shows a humility and acceptance of the tragedy. What do you think? Is Stewart really the villain the media is making him out to be? 
3	Is Banning Homelessness Cruel and Unusual Punishment?By Carey Wedler In a statement of interest filed this week in a little-known Idaho case on the subject, the DOJ explained its position: When adequate shelter space exists, individuals have a choice about whether or not to sleep in public. However, when adequate shelter space does not exist, there is no meaningful distinction between the status of being homeless and the conduct of sleeping in public. Sleeping is a life-sustaining activityi.e., it must occur at some time in some place. If a person literally has nowhere else to go, then enforcement of the anti-camping ordinance against that person criminalizes her for being homeless, it reads. The DOJ views this as a violation of the 8th amendment, which protects against cruel and unusual punishment. This is arguably ironic considering the many constitutional violations the DOJ regularly commits, but the agencys assessment of criminalizing people for being impoverished and desperate is apt, nonetheless. According to a National Law Center on Homelessness Poverty study published in 2014, 34% of 187 cities surveyed had provisions banning sleeping in public. 43% banned sleeping in vehicles and 53% had regulations that barred sitting or lying down in certain public spaces. In the same year, 153,000 people in the United States faced homelessness without shelter. The federal government has previously reprimanded cities for enacting anti-camping laws. In 2006, the 9th U.S. Court of Appeals struck down a Los Angeles provision that banned sleeping in public, arguing, like the DOJ this week, that doing so constituted a cruel and unusual punishment for people who have nowhere else to go. Eric Tars, a senior attorney for the NLCHP which aims to end homelessness, not merely protect the rights of those on the streets commented on the current difficulty of dealing with the problem: Homelessness is just becoming more visible in communities, and when homelessness becomes more visible, theres more pressure on community leaders to do something about it, he said. And rather than actually examining whats the best thing to do about homelessness, the knee-jerk response as with so many other things in society is well address this social issue with the criminal justice system. This approach often further disenfranchises the homeless. You have to check those [criminal] boxes on the application forms, Tars noted. And they dont say were you arrested because you were trying to simply survive on the streets? They say if you have an arrest record, were not going to rent to you. In spite of the cold treatment many homeless people receivejust this week, the NYPD announced it would be photographing homeless people and vagrants to discourage them from inhabiting the streets some cities are taking a more compassionate approach. Rates of homelessness in Utah, for example, dropped drastically when the government adopted a revolutionary policy: giving them homes, which reduced the rate of homelessness by 72%. The DOJs filing this week highlights a growing backlash against local governments merciless, punitive approaches to dealing with the homeless. While this may be the same DOJ that has perpetuated the Drug War, asserted the governments right to indefinitely detain American citizens, and targeted and attacked journalists and whistleblowers, any modicum of compassion extended to marginalized individuals amid deeply corrupted society and institutions is worth commending.

A measure of true greatness any given civilizationis by how they treat their most vulnerable. After the collapse, everybody will be homeless. See you at the barricades! Which FEMA camp will you be in? If they take me alive? Whichever one they take me to. I dont think Ill have much say in that matter. Just make sure you take out as many as possible! Not any longer. Not in this spawn of demons nation. You must admit, intentionally throwing over 10,000,000 jobs out of country then ATTACKING the victims of their evil takes dare I say it? Chutzpah! I heard the homeless are now being put in FEMA camps. What happens to them after that is anybodys guess They are put to work making diapers for the global elite? Banning the homeless is almost certainly a violation of human rights laws, but I dont see on what basis it could be unconstitutional. On any humanitarian basis, its certainly disturbing and wrong; after all, these people, largely, did not create their own crisis. They are a product of corporate capitalism, AKA Fascism. If anyone is under the delusion that we live under a capitalist system, they are sadly mistaken. People in dire need of assistance are not criminals because of it. Treating them as such is wrong and criminal. Since when does being poor or mentally ill or just temporarily down on your luck become such an offense that police have to kick them out? I thought this was America guysor is it America ONLY after its passed your test of what it is to be American and was isnt? Another aint it awful story, with the usual replies. What no one wants to deal with is the harsh reality that this is the New Normal, and we are going to have to make some mental adjustments. No politician will bring up the bad news. The public will have to figure it out on their own. That brief period of time when ordinary blue-collar workers, factory workers, retail workes, truck drivers, etc could live like kings is over. I remember the 70s when the business, trade, and academic journals were filled with academics and policy wonks talking about workers making too much money. It was unheard of in the history of the planet that ordinary working-class people could own their own cars, send their kids to college, own real estate, take vacations and stay in hotels, etc. That whole concept of The Ugly American was aimed at the uneducated, rich American the blue collar workers, the Archie Bunkers of the world, who could afford to travel. It was a temporary glitch that was soon corrected. I remember those days, when the CIA dirty deeds were coming out. The universal response, both by the media editorialists and by the average American citizen was American has the highest standard of living in the world. If you dont like it here, leave. The average American really thought they were blessed with Divine Provinence and were better than the rest of the planet, and were deaf to the cries of people like Stokely Carmicheal that the chickens were coming home to roost in other words, what does around comes around America fostered these criminals, and would soon be subject to them, itself. Americans still dont get it, that they are not special, and that we should look to Mexico, Italy, Singapore, at how people live there the skillled workers like nurses and pharmacists and accountants live in tiny concrete apartments with plastic furniture, Vespas if they are lucky. The unskilled factory workers live in the slums. I cant count the number of homeless and nearly homeless people I have talked to that disdain the idea of sharing an apartment, much less a bedroom, with another person. That used to be normal. Since when did we get so hoity-toity? Since when does everyone need their own private toilet, two sinks, their own stove and refrigerator? The problem is that we have outlawed poor peoples housing. Some cities are experimenting with putting in small apodments, but they put them in the parts of the city where the neighbors dont want them, instead of the parts of the city that could use the density. They put in a handful of subsidized middle-class housing, maybe enough to house 2 or 3 percent of the problem, on the most expensive real estate, instead of putting in barracks-style or micro-housing style structures that can house thousands on property that is more affordable. Yeah, its not as nice to live, but if the point is to get people off the sidewalks, it hardly seems fair to complain that they have to take a bus to go to the grocery store or use the toilet down the hall. 
3	Fracking Chemicals May Harm Reproduction and Developmental Health: Studyselfnews Post Now, Susan C. Nagel, a researcher with the University of Missouri, and national colleagues have conducted the largest review to date of research centered on fracking byproducts and their effects on human reproductive and developmental health. They determined that exposure to chemicals released in fracturing may be harmful to human health in men, women and children and recommend further scientific study. We examined more than 150 peer-reviewed studies reporting on the effects of chemicals used in UOG operations and found evidence to suggest there is cause for concern for human health, said Nagel. Further, we found that previous studies suggest that adult and early life exposure to chemicals associated with UOG operations can result in adverse reproductive health and developmental defects in humans. The weight of evidence review of scientific literature and peer-reviewed publications, where studies are examined thoroughly for patterns and links, included international studies that focused on UOG chemicals. Reviewers say these chemicals have been measured in air and water near UOG operations, and have been associated with harmful effects in both animals and humans. The reviewers concluded that exposure to air and water pollution caused by UOG operations may be linked to health concerns including infertility, miscarriage, impaired fetal growth, birth defects and reduced semen quality. There are far fewer human studies than animal studies; however, taken together, the studies did show that humans can be harmed by these chemicals released from fracking, Nagel said. There is strong evidence of decreased semen quality in men, higher miscarriages in women and increased risk of birth defects in children. There is a striking need for continued research on UOG processes and chemicals and the health outcomes in people. Nagel, an associate professor of obstetrics, gynecology and womens health in the School of Medicine, and adjunct associate professor of biological sciences in the College of Arts and Science at MU, conducted the review with colleagues from the University of Missouri as well as researchers at the Institute for Health and the Environment and the Center for Environmental Health. The review, Reproductive and Developmental Effects of Chemicals Associated with Unconventional Oil and Natural Gas Operations, was published online in the peer-reviewed journal Reviews on Environmental Health.

3	The Deep State Institutions That Couldnt Care Less Who You Vote ForBy Dylan Charles Even veteran politician such as the constitutionally minded Ron Paul have publicly stated that your vote doesnt matter as long as the Deep State continues to exist, living off of funds siphoned from taxpayers and scuttled into covert, black-ops and secret budgets. The elections dont matter. This is a ritual that we go throughMy belief is that the control is the Deep State, and people have to realize that. ~Ron Paul Former Republican U.S. Congressional aide, Mike Lofgren, who retired in 2011 after 28 years as a Congressional staffer defines the Deep State as follows: It is a hybrid of national security and law enforcement agencies: the Department of Defense, the Department of State, the Department of Homeland Security, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Justice Department. I also include the Department of the Treasury because of its jurisdiction over financial flows, its enforcement of international sanctions and its organic symbiosis with Wall Street. ~Mike Lofgren These are the institutions, agencies and ongoing programs that are above the law, beyond scrutiny and operating in near total secrecy. They truly couldnt care less who the American people vote for come this election day as their powers are now so fully entrenchedthat in spite of whichever political puppet sits in the White House they will still be able to muster the funds and authority to continue on with their subversive, anti-democratic agendas. 1. Intelligence Agencies Business Insider reports that US intelligence community is comprised of 17 discreet agencies that operate with enormous budgets and incredible secrecy, bringing total surveillance and total information awareness to bear on the people of earth. Of the 17 agencies, some of the most prominent and most active include the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the National Security Agency (NSA), the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the State Departments Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR), none of which will be adversely affected by either candidates policies. Oversight of these agencies generally falls to the Department of Defense or Congress, leaving the average citizen with precious little knowledge of how they operate. Funded by largely classified budgets, its difficult to assess how much the U.S. annually spends on these clandestine operations, but one 2012 estimatepegs the cost at about $75 billion. [Source] 2. DARPA The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agencyis the scientific vanguard of the Deep State, and the worlds pioneer of advanced technology, bringing science fiction to life. With an on-the-record annual budget of close to the $3 billion, their role in our world seems to be to absorb any and all human innovationand re-direct it toward the art of killing and controlling people. A simple Google search of DARPA reveals an endless array of incredibly cool science projects, and public science competitions designed to discover and recruit the greatest upcoming scientific minds the human race produces. Their influence in our world cannot be understated, both for their positive contributions to society, such as development of the Internet, and for their nefarious re-works of every great scientific idea. Their work will continue unabated no matter who is president. 3. Wall Street and Silicon Valley Wall Street is the organization of criminal bankers and law firmswhove managed to re-configure government and global finance to work in their favor, allowing them to privatize profit and socialize losses, guaranteeing the infinite enrichment of the 1%. Their power, originally garnered with the creation of central banking and banking corporations like The Federal Reserve, is now maintained and concentrated by their technological sophistication through their coordination with Silicon Valley. Scientist, author and celebrated technological philosopher, Jaron Lanier, writes of the banking elites ability to outpace even any regulatory agencys ability to understand and control the technology now involved in exacting trades, due to the simple fact that private companies with endless resources can afford to buy the best minds on earth. As Lanier puts it, there was a high-tech network scheme at play that seemed to concentrate wealth while at the same time causing volatility and trauma for ordinary people, particularly taxpayers who often ended up paying for a bailout. No individual investor can compete with these Siren Servers, no matter how smart or lucky. [Source] Combined, the powers of Wall Street and Silicon Valley effectively own the U.S. government and, rest assured, whichever candidate makes it to inauguration day, they will be well-funded by,and well-respecting of the powers-that-be on Wall Street. 4. The Military Industrial Complexs Defense Contractors The Orwellian permanent war is not a necessity in our modern world, but rather a natural by-product of exorbitant, unfettered investment in the arms race. The list of defense contractors that comprise the military industrial complex and manufacture and produce the equipment and war material that makes endless war a permanent feature of the modern world is, again, noted by Business Insider. At the topof their list of nine companiesis Lockheed Martin, followed by Boeing, Raytheon, General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman, all receiving tens of billions of dollars annually from the federal government. Their power is derived from the good-old-boy and revolving-door network of government insiders and private sector free-agents who compete for taxpayer money and contracts. Both Trump and Hillary are supportive of this network, so take your pick. 5. The Secret Black Budget and Space Programs These are the programs that are spoken of mostlyin rumors. The best guess is that they are funded by money stolen from the American people and operate in locations such as the fabled Deep Underground Bases (DUMBs) under the protection of the military. We know they exist because of occasional media leaksabouttheir technological achievementsand secretly funded programs, yet information is often sketchy. Nonetheless, their works will continue to influence the direction of global conflict while pushing the world toward a space-based economy no matter which candidate you choose. Former Wall Street investment bank director, and former assistant secretary United States Department of Housing and Urban Development during thefirst Bush Administration, Catherine Austin Fitts, estimates that some $40 trillion dollars in taxpayer money has disappeared in recent decades from the budgets of the Pentagon and other agencies and has been covertly directed toward the operations of these Deep State institutions. In 2015 the gross domestic product of the U.S. economy was close to $18 trillion, meaning that, at least, over 2 years full years of American productivity has been vaporized by the secretive government, and most recently some $6.5 trillion was reported missing from the Pentagon. This is how the Deep State is funded and why the elections play such an important role in distracting the American public. In light of revelations about the existence and operations of these agencies, as well as their speculated funding by missing public money, voting for a president is rightfullyacknowledgedas futile. For those of us truly seeking positive change in a world where government is completely unaccountable to the people who fund it, theres simply no way to ignore the relevance of exposing the Deep State. As all governmentssometimes forgood reasonsengage in concealment of their more questionable activities, or even resort to out and out deception, one must ask how the deep state differs. While an elected government might sometimes engage in activity that is legally questionable, there is normally some plausible pretext employed to cover up or explain the act. But for players in the deep state, there isno accountability and no legal limit. Everything is based on self-interest, justified through an assertion of patriotism and the national interest. ~ Philip Giraldi Read more articles by Dylan Charles.

It will only be destroyed in something that results in total global annihilation. At this point, you cant . Ultimately none of us survive; we all end up stepping over the threshold into eternity so I suppose its proper to pursue what you deem right and good. Even so, many of us act like we will live forever. Death is inevitable. Belive it or not there are some things more important then life itself. This is my thought process too. The odds are too low to calculate but rolling over for eternal enslavement and mind control is worse than death which comes anyway. Truth. There are definitely things worth taking a stand for, and dying (if necessary) in defense of. Im not sure people have those things in proper order of merit though. For example, going to the ME to fight against people (Muslims) who would rather kill each other than co-exist is NOT one of the things worth dying for. TPTB have spent all their energy, time, and capital brainwashing and dumbing down the public for generations. We cant quickly fix dumbing down but brainwashing can be unwound fairly fast. Thats why Obama is handing over control over the internet to the UN. .At this point the odds are so stacked against us, only a major unexpected shock (asteroid, Divine intervention, Mother Nature backfire) seems like our only hope which is absurd because we have the potential to be far more powerful on a conscious level than most are. Dumbing down, distracting, vilifying, misdirecting, maligning, dividing and lulling to sleep. It sucks, I l know. Ive tried to appeal to the survival instincts of me and mine crowd by pointing out the vast methods of poisoning were being subjected to but unless they were to see someone immediately collapse in front of them immediately after a vaccine or some other nefarious activity they just cannot connect the dots. It isnt always that people are that stupid, its just easier to coast along like a leaf on the water. I have been saying for months that the legislative branch of our government is no longer functioning.The various government agencies are writing and passing the laws. Months!?! The American people and the alternative media dont seem to understand where we really are right now. They are both still very far behind the curve, and because of that, we have allowed a momentum to develop that will make the following disasters inevitable. We should have heeded the warnings instead of playing along by writing and reading articles that were much to do of nothing. It could stop right here if a massive shift took place in entire western nations in which the proles began to walk away from the control systems assuming the epiphany went viral. Its not too latethats why controlled elements of the alt (and the clueless mimics) are going into high gear on the fear mongering = paralysis learned helplessness. There have been big inflection points and none have been impossible to roll backso far. Youre right, this is NOT new by any stretch, the legislative takeover was well under way before many of us were even born notably around the time of JFKs assassination moving into deep capture when the Trilateralists took over the executive branch during the Carter administration. Your key word is IF. This article is a good summation of what those in the know (for the past 40 years or so) have understood especially those who realize what is the seemingly unstoppable power created by completely unbridled legal counterfeiting, which is assured to the masters of the game. (started in 1964). If that isnt choked off completely, we are done. So the question becomes: How do we achieve that? Is it even possible? Is it a cancer which cant be stopped until we are literally in a nation as depicted by Hunger Games? I actually believe there is an antidote; a grassroots plan that could check it, because its NOT reliant on money to work. Deputizm plan A WELL REGULATED MILITIA, being necessary for the security of a free state. Its impossible to live free without it. It will work because there is NO limit to how many men a sheriff may deputize. And they dont have to actually reside in said county, either. But this will take men willing to fight for liberty, not just whine about the injustice of totalitarianism. That was one of my suggestions years ago, but it fell upon deaf ears. If it takes place now it will be out of sheer desperation, and these deputized men, and militia will not only have to fight the domestic enemies that have stolen office but the lawless people that their reign has created. CS: When considering Richard Macks CSPOA org, we have a few sheriffs who seemingly take their Oath of Office seriously. However, I wonder what goes through their minds, thinking they could hold of the feds with a few barney fifes at their side. email me at LCharles14@yahoo.com I want to mail you a document Does anyone on here realize what fighting the government with all their military equipment drones, etc. would be like? Equipment that can burn your skin until you die but not even burn your clothing? Military equipment that local law enforcement now has; swat teams? Im in total agreement that our government needs to be stopped and disbanded but really, how??? ah, Karolyn thats the beauty of the deputizm plan. A WELL REGULATED MILITIA gets access to this exact same equipment and the power to arrest govStooges who violate Title 18, Sec. 241 That is not true and you know it! OH? give me a chance to hire 1 million deputies, with access to drones and AA-12 guns (do a youTube search) led by a few qualified Oath Keepers Army Rangers, Marine GBs and Navy Seals. Yeah Oboingo will stop us from upholding our Constitution. uh, huh.. You answer your own statement Louis: Give me a chance to hire 1 million deputies Could you tell me where you are planning to find them? thats only 20,000 per state on average. Heck, I believe if I were a sheriff in a Texas county and publicly announced that each man will be trained with, and have access to AA-12s and drone defense along with your badge, and didnt have to reside in my county, Id have my million from that one state. Louis: I am not trying to discourage you, however being 76 years old, a military retiree,I have seen a lot of life.You are proposing that you could do this right under the governments eyes and you should know by now they know everything.Louis I guess you are much younger than me.I appreciate your determination.You have a hope which is great.I live by myself with 3 dogs and 6 cats.Thats my family and in no way could I leave them to defend other peoples property,or fight the government.Im not afraid to die, just have to be sensible as to what I can fight for and try to defend. under the governments eyes? Precisely the opposite. Right out there for everyone to see. and thusly decide, as a nation whether the first part of the 2nd Amendment is as important to us as the last part. So, just bend over and take it, Karolyn? We all have a choice to either live on our knees or die on our feet. I know where youll be. The average person cannot say what they might do.Bend over and take it is kind of hard when considering some are not as strong and brave as others pretend to be.Theres an old saying I learned in my years in the military when you are doomed: :Bend over and kiss your own behind goodbye! You are referring to that moment in every persons life when their faith is truly tested. One either believes that life is a continuum and death is the illusion or it isnt. I think its really that simple. Ones behavior at that crucial moment reflects that. The ultimate test of faith. It depends on what that faith is placed in.I just happen to have faith in Jesus Christ. Then you know that life is the reality and death is the illusion. Be brave! Stop going to work. General strike. They DO care who you vote for at the local and state levels and what you do to take back your power. Why arent geoengineering activists organizing with health freedom activists (GMOs, vaccines, 5G radiation, anti-fracking etc.), second amendment supporters, self identified Libertarians, et al? Divided we fall. I think the puppet theater has managed to keep the cap on geoengineering that it is still considered a fringe conspiracy theory. More people probably accept the existence of alien abduction. Its like sometimes you can tell the difference between the Jesse Venturas and the Alex Jones, but sometimes you cant. Either way though that difference borders too closely between truth and fiction. That is enough to turn most otherwise rational people off. I know youre spot on, James Stone. When I cruise through the geoengineering watch website I see the most passionate anti-NWO folks in the entire alternative news community. Most are livid at least they still have a pulse. The only other group that came close were the anti-open borders activists going back a decade or so. Neither group had the feature of being single minded until the latter was finally subsumed by the big gatekeepers. Too bad 9/11 Truth groups stayed compartmentalized. Ill be waiting for Vol. 2, 3, 4 to complete this expose. The true Deep State levers of power are the ones we never see. A famous American satirist once said, If voting really mattered, they would have abolished it a long time ago. I will continue to belong and support The George Carlin Party. someone is preventing me from commenting here maybe it is them as I have been placing an active link to them here. !? The premise/title of the article is so simplistic and completely wrong, and also not backed up by any evidence. There is no difference between Trump and Crooked Hillary? Assuming what the author says is true, so what is the point of writing this article? There is none. Hide in your cave with your survival gear. That said, why is the media and power establishment going so crazy against Trump as he gains in the polls? Is it all a conspiracy to trick us into thinking there is a difference, when there is not? At the end of the day if you examine the different positions, Hillary is a neo con globalist war monger, and Trump is a white nationalist who wants to bring back jobs and restore the borders. To say there is no difference is to essentially take the side of the globalists, like Alex Jones does, claiming he is against them when in reality he is covering for the true criminals and culprits in the tribe that pay his checks. Wheres my deep underground base. The chicken littles have built them for themselves. Oh well, pop your head up it will be whack a mole time unholy tribe, best button down the hatches and stay down. Nobody wants you around, your all a bunch of vampires and someday you will eat your own, oh wait you (more than likely) already do. We need to implement mandatory psychological testing of all government high officials. If we could eliminate all sociopaths from office, the Deep State would no longer exist. The answer is eliminating government itself. It is a cancer that destroys everything. Im not talking about anarchy but if we want to survive we must end this illusion of government. Lets stop and consider some things.First of all the most primal aspect of humanity is survival.Most people might disagree but when it comes to doing what you are ordered to do, or disobeying and being killed yourself brings it out.Now no one would debate that a father or mother would die for their children, but think carefully about this current trend in society which says Me Me Me,and only Me. There are young people that I actually believe would kill their own parents if their life was at stake.If a government worker is given a weapon and told to defend the government or lose their own life, must I say more?Darwin spoke about the survival of the fittest, but had to know that the elites would use it to stay in power.There are those who have in the deepest and darkest corners of their minds, that they will survive and make a wonderful utopia for themselves.Stop and think for one moment about someone in an agency that has dark plans.They are in a position to push them forward if they coincide with the big plan of the elites in power.Consider the EPA, The ATF, the DHS and every other agency that has thousands of people that just want to survive no matter what. Lets look at the possible groups that could be on one side or the other. You speak of militias as if they are able to really accomplish something but how many have been shut down or at least hindered by the FBI,ATF,DHS? At the same time we have the Nation of Islam, NBP,BLM and many in government who will stand with the black president because they believe they deserve more from the white people.Then you have the many Jihadist training camps all over America and now thousands of new refuges which are mostly men of fighting age.Then we have the politicians themselves who will do everything they can to cover their own behinds.What happened when the man was shot by FBI agent defending his property? Was there a mass uprising? No it was all talk. Think about Ruby Ridge and what became of that.Also the Waco massacre.Did all these militias and brave souls on the web step out and start fighting.One last thing to burst the bubbles.I believe that our own military will be fighting each other. 
2	Pelosi: Migrant Children At The Border Need To Be Treated Like Baby Jesus Well, once again, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is making ridiculous claims. Recently, in an appearance on MSNBC, Pelosi claimed that migrant children should be treated like baby Jesus. According to her, Jesus was just like illegal immigrantsfighting to be freed from violence. In Washington, I see an embrace of the idea that this is a humanitarian crisis by people who are not politicizing the issue, Pelosi told MSNBC. What we need to do is have the supplemental that gives us the resources to meet the humanitarian needs, to do the border control, but also to have the judicial piece so that these children have representation and judges hear their cases. Those who have a right to stay, whether its refugee status or asylum. What do you think of Pelosis mindless rant? Do you agree with her or is she making insulting comparisons? 
3	Pope Doubles Down, Pushes Zika Virus Birth Control Psyop As Necessary Lesser EvilBy Bernie Suarez Now that a few weeks have passed since the mainstream media ran with the 2-dimensional, linear, fake-reality, Zika virus stories claiming a direct and certain link to microcephaly, those in the critical thinking medical community agree, if nothing else, on the observable fact that there is no evidence of any direct link between the Zika virus and microcephaly. What there is evidence of, is that villages which were sprayed heavily with pesticide chemicals, where GMO mosquitoes were released and villages whose drinking water was spiked with Monsanto-backed chemical poisons are the villages experiencing the highest incidence of babies born with microcephaly. As has been repeatedly pointed out by researchers, doctors and those covering this story for the past several weeks, from a medical perspective we also know that the Zika virus generally doesnt cause microcephaly because there is no mechanism or history to explain it. And we know that among other causes, chemical poisoning and imbalances do potentially cause the disorder and are associated with microcephaly. We also know (as they say in medicine) that common things happen commonly. Nature very rarely acts in a way outside of its normal pattern of behavior. The very nature of medicine and science is founded on these observable behaviors and often predictable results. We also know that whenever a scientist or doctor claims something that is not typically seen, that doctor, scientist or scientific body must prove their hypothesis with convincing evidence. No one is immune from the obligation to abide by the Scientific Method. Its one of the key criteria that binds and thus ensures the integrity of scientific and medical claims. That evidence claimed by the establishment and medical authorities in Brazil and at the global level, has not been introduced. Zika virus is not proven to be linked as the primary cause of microcephaly. This is the most important point regarding the recent Zika virus engineered scare. Subsequently, what we are now seeing is a slow systematic and often repeated disregard of the 3-dimensional reality that I wrote about recently, so that an engineered artificial 2-dimensional reality based narrative can be perpetuated. This artificial narrative is a dangerous sign of the direction humanity is headed and I argue is the much bigger story here. The propaganda coming from the pope shouldnt surprise anyone who understands how this artificial reality is now being rolled out on the masses on a daily basis and is a symptom of a greater problem. In this example, the pope is simply contributing to the synthetic 2-dimensional reality where the general public is presented with lies and disinformation designed to look feel and smell real, while they push for whatever agenda is desired. This significant doubling down by the pope on global government U.N. propaganda at the expense of science and reason is another reminder that there is no reason to believe anything put out by the lying and controlled mainstream media and their usual mouthpieces that include people like the pope among others. As already stated, even if 100 percent proof of what exactly has caused the microcephaly in newborns has not been reached, one thing is for certain there is no evidence that directly links the Zika virus to microcephaly. Careful to not let reality get in the way of the escalating current fictional narrative aimed at pushing the global agenda to strip away all medical freedoms in the name of an epidemic or pandemic, the pope is carrying on with claims that happen to sound just like the claims engineered by the political authorities and mainstream media. Is anyone surprised? Surely the pope is aware of the scientific reality, nevertheless he is once again going along with the global political narrative, as he has so often in the past, selling Agenda 21, Agenda 2030 and the coming global sustainable order as a type of virtue that his followers should heed to. If nothing else, we can use these recent political comments by the pope to remind ourselves who is fighting for what agenda including who is fighting for truth. Probably the most significant and staggering if not frightening fact that puts all of this into perspective is the fact that there are an estimated 1.25 billion Catholics worldwide who potentially listen to the pope as he tells his lies and/or is used as a tool of deception by the ruling elite. This is the same pope who has been selling the sustainable new world order to his flock and is now a leading voice of the global agenda. 1.25 billion is a lot of people and serves as a reminder that we are engaged in a fierce information war against humanity with no end. If you understand and agree with this article help push back against the global disinformation machine by sharing this message with someone. 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. And what is the lesser evil of pope Francis? The Pope just apologized to The Donald over the pontiffs Building walls is not Christian statement. I guess The Pope forgot Vatican City is surrounded by a massive wall. Someone must have informed The Pope that The Don might be the next US president and should probably not be insulted. And just a few days ago, someone offed a Catholic SCOTUS judge right under our noses and got away with it. Texas again, because it worked so well last time.

1	Reversing a long-held policy requiring their younger television personalities to reside at the networks sprawling 123-acre headquarters, ESPN announced Wednesday that second-year anchors will now be allowed to live in approved off-campus housing. Its just nice to have a little freedom without having any senior producers breathing down your neck all the time, said sportscaster Jaymee Sire, adding that while she will miss ESPNs campus meal plan, shes excited to get a place with several close friends she met during her first year on the SportsCenter set. The off-campus apartments are kind of dumpy, but itll be great not having so many rules. And this way I can finally have a guy stay overnight without having to worry about signing him in first. At press time, Sire was excitedly choosing an outfit after receiving an invitation to a big kegger at Ed Werner and Bob Leys place. 
3	Let Them Eat Grass: A New Salvo in the Food Freedom Revolutionselfnews Post Hershberger, feeling that the DATCP made an arbitrary and illegal ruling, cut the tape they had used to shut down his property and continued distributing to the paying private buying club members. He is now facing 3 years in prison and $10,000 in fines for his resistance. Hershbergers declaration of food independence has drawn the attention of major activist groups, as well as lay citizens, who see a clear attack on ones inherent human right to grow food and provide for themselves, their families and their communities without the bureaucracy of the State arbitrarily ruling otherwise. It is a direct attack on self-sufficiency that has very troubling historical parallels if not brought under control. In March, people flew in from all over the country to attend a support rally prior to Hershbergers first court appearance. Now, a full-length documentary, Let Them Eat Grass (trailer below) aims to build on the momentum started by cases like Hershbergers.A new rally has also been announced ahead of Vernons rescheduled trial date set for the week of January 7, 2013. (map and directions) While raw milk raids have attracted much attention, and there have been some key victories in the fight for food freedom, we are still reading an increasing number of stories about armed health raids and bureaucratic shutdowns of family businesses. The health activist group,Right to Choose Healthy Food, is calling to defeat government actors, including judges, from depriving us of our Constitutional rights to grow, have and eat healthy foods with our informed and intelligent choices. Please watch the first 8 minutes of this new documentary featuring Vernon Hershberger as he discusses the importance of having a healthy cycle of growth from the grass-to-glass consumption of raw milk, as well as the other products his farm produces in partnership with 100 other families. Right to Choose Healthy Food is correct that juries comprised of informed and moral citizens can nullify the corrupt nature of arbitrary bureaucratic laws. As activist Karen Goeben stated: Education leads to action. We must go on the offensive against any illegitimate source of power. For instance, in the Hershbergercase, inspector Jackie Owens apparently has no sworn oath of office on file.Consequently, she is being suedfor fraud and misrepresentation. The type of people that tend to gravitate toward these positions of inflated authority believe they are immunized by the structure that employs them. This mentality leads to comments made by the agent in the above-linked raid of Mountain Pure Water who said, Were the federal government: we can do what we want, when we want, and theres nothing you can do about it. Or another agent in the same raid, Why dont you just touch me . . . Ill show you what a federal officer can do to you. Anyone invoking authority with the reasoning that authority itself is the nature of the law needs to be personally sued. And anyone who would seek to deny the Constitutional right to consume healthy food is the enemy of America and should be treated as such. You can support this food-rights movement by donating toRight To Choose Healthy Food (RawMilk.org) and/or Farmer To Consumer Legal Defense Fund.

1	Saying he doesnt want to scare her off by springing too much on her all at once, local man Daniel Hastings explained Tuesday that he has devised a carefully calculated timeline for revealing his negative personality traits to the woman he is now dating. The 31-year-old IT technician told reporters that by strategically planning when to expose each of his various character flaws to new girlfriend Melanie Carlin, he hopes to provide her with a sufficient period of time to acclimate to one shortcoming before she is presented with another. Ill probably reveal my occasional stubbornness and impatience to her right off the bat, just to get those out of the way, said Hastings, noting that years of experience have taught him he will need to play this just right if he doesnt want the relationship to end prematurely. Then Ill lay off for a full month and let that settle in before I start showing her how I can be pretty sullen and childish when I dont get my way. If I were to let her see Im a slob right at the beginning, that would probably be a little much to take, he continued, but after 12 weeks it should be totally fine to stop picking things up off the floor before she comes over. If Ive laid the groundwork ahead of time with a handful of snide comments about her parents, it should feel like a natural progression of the narcissism and thoughtlessness shes already seen. Hastings went on to state that by the end of the summer, the 29-year-old woman would likely be invested enough in the relationship for him to safely display his short temper, and that he would wait until then to snap at her over the phone or make petty, passive-aggressive remarks without any provocation. Once he has passed the important milestone of meeting Carlins parents, Hastings said he would carry out an ambitious back-to-back unveiling of his arrogance and lack of direction, followed up with a next-day disclosure of the fact that hes really bad with money. According to reports, the Clarksville, MD native has even slated an empty catch-up week just before the holidays so he can disclose any unappealing facets of his personality he has been unable to get to as scheduled during the calendar year. By month 10, I should be clear to start showing my controlling and possessive side by making a few sarcastic cracks about how Melanie spends too much time with her friends, said Hastings, adding that he would be sure to do this in a joking manner so she would not be able to tell whether he was serious or not. Just to plant the idea, you know? I figure Ill definitely want to ease her into that one. Should his girlfriend eventually opt to give up the lease on her apartment and move in with him, Hastings remarked that he would then be able to launch into a whole bunch of other stuff, including his laziness, his tendency to be clingy, his preference to stay at home as much as possible, his cowardice, his resentment of his position in life, his fragile ego, his superficiality, and his cynicism toward most of the world around him. Hopefully Melanie invites me to a big family gathering at some point, maybe around our first anniversary together, because that would be the perfect time to debut my contempt for her relatives by refusing to engage in conversation and then demanding to leave early, Hastings said. If Ive laid the groundwork ahead of time with a handful of snide comments about her parents, it should feel like a natural progression of the narcissism and thoughtlessness shes already seen. And by that point, Ill have pretty much laid my entire personality out there, he added. Except for my tendency to bend the truth and inability to take personal responsibility for any of my problems, which I plan to keep to myself for as long as possible. Though Hastings has reportedly expended a great deal of effort formulating his timetable, sources confirmed he would definitely be willing to speed up the disclosure of his personal faults should Carlin start revealing hers. 
2	Trace Adkins Worked For Years With Trump, Hes Finally Revealed THIS About Him Trace Adkins has put others ahead of himself on almost everything he has done. He is one of the most caring men in the world of country and one of the most business savvy people as well. Adkins has worked hard his entire life; he recovered from a gunshot that pierced his heart and lungs. He even worked on oilrigs for a few years. One of his larger accomplishments was raising 1.5 million dollars for the American Red Cross on his appearance of the All-star Celebrity Apprentice. Adkins was almost a back-to-back winner, but lost to Piers Morgan on his first season. When he came onto the show again in 2013 beat Penn in the finale. Adkins had two full seasons of the show to get to know the current Presidential Candidate, and many of us wanted to know his thoughts. Billboard just recently asked Adkins about Trump, his former boss. Adkins has not endorsed his friend, yet. His interview is almost there and I suspect that Adkins will endorse Trump very soon. When asked about Trump, Adkins stated that he was wrong a year ago when he didnt think Trump would run. Then he was wrong when he didnt think Trump would make it this far. Adkins ended the interview with the statement that Trump has always been fair to him and he has no problems with the man. Do you have any problems with Trump? 
2	BREAKING: This Duck Dynasty Star Tried To Commit Suicide Duck Dynasty star Si Robertson recently released his new book Si-cology: Tales and Wisdom from Duck Dynastys Favorite Uncle. In the book, Si reveals the shocking history of alcoholism, mental illness, and suicide attempts within his family. Si begins by discussing the hardships that he and his brother Phil faced growing up. He details what life was like growing up with a mother who was a manic-depressive and spent a lot of time in the hospitals and the state mental institution. Si also admits that his own brain is faulty and that he has struggled with alcoholism in the past, especially during his time served in Vietnam. I drank so much beer and whiskey in Vietnam that I decided I would quit drinking alcohol altogether once I returned home, the 65-year-old writes in his book. I saw what alcohol was doing to me, and I realized I needed to stop for good. Si also revealed some shocking information about his son Scott, claiming that he was trouble before he was even born. Scott was suicidal from the time he was about five years out, Si writes, referring to some medical problems he faced as a child. His behavior was really erratic as a child. When Scott would get tired, he would throw his arms out and fall backward. At 11 years old, Si reportedly was caught by his mother attempting to jump out of a second-story window. Not long after the incident, he was diagnosed with Aspergers. What do you think? Do you support the Duck Dynasty family and how far they have come? 
3	Second Amendment Victory: Georgia Governor Signs Historic Gun Rights BillLily Dane The new law, called the Safe Carry Protection Act, vastly expands where guns will be allowed in the state. As of July 1st, licensed gun owners in Georgia and visitors from 28 other states will be allowed to bring a gun into a bar without restrictions and carry a firearm into some government buildings. Under the law, school districts will be able to decide whether they want some employees to carry a firearm, and religious leaders can decide whether to allow licensed gun owners to carry guns into their church, synagogue or mosque. Deal said the following about the bill: In addition to allowing licensed owners to carry in more places than ever, the bill also eliminates the fingerprinting requirement for renewing weapons carry licenses, prohibits the state from creating and maintaining a database of licensed weapons carriers, and repeals the state-required license for firearms dealers. 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! 
2	Muslim Woman Calls On Shariah Law When She Cant Swim In Full Islamic Garb According to recent reports, a Colorado Muslim woman has spoken up following an incident where she was not allowed to swim in a recreational center pool because she was in full Islamic dress, and not in proper swim attire. According to Sabah Ali, she offered to remove her Islamic dress and swim in the shirt and pants she wore underneath, but was told that it wasnt specified swimming attire, and therefore did not comply with pool rules. Why do I have to be half naked to swim? To enjoy time with my kids? the women said in an interview with MadWorldNews. I want to have the same rights as every citizen. According to Michelle Halsted, a Commerce City spokeswoman, the rules against swimming in street attire are enforced for everyone, to protect public health and safety. She also concluded that modest options like rash guards and full body swimsuits are permissible at the pool. We turn all of those individuals away because the number one focus for us is safety, Halsted concluded. These policies should be reevaluated to ensure that Muslims are included and have full access to the Commerce City Rec Center, civil rights attorney Qusair Mohamed Bhai told reporters. What do you think? Should the city be required to change its public safety laws? 
3	Congress Is Finally Pushing For 9/11 TruthDerrick Broze The Representatives introduced a similar resolution in 2013and received bipartisan support. Now Jones, Lynch, and Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie have introduced House Resolution 14 whichstates that declassification of the pages is necessary to provide the American public with the full truth surrounding the tragic events of September 11, 2001, particularly relating to the involvement of foreign governments. Jones said he chose to introduce the resolution because the families deserve peace, the American people deserve the truth, and the release of these pages will not harm our national security. He encouraged the Senate to introduce a companion resolution.Congressman Lynch said enough time has passed that we can digest the information they contain without worrying about the visceral passions and security implications that existed in the days immediately following September 11th, 2001. Upon seeing the 28 pages, Rep. Jones said the 28 pages would embarrass the Obama administration. Rep. Massiesaidwhile reading the documentshe had to stop every couple of pages and absorb and try to rearrange my understanding of history for the past 13 years and the years leading up to that. It challenges you to rethink everything. Former Senator Bob Graham spoke of the denial of truth coming from government officials. Graham asked, Did these 19 hijackers act alone or did they have support? He said the 28 pagespoint a strong finger at Saudi Arabia as being the principal financierof the attacks. When asked if he was speaking about the Saudi government or independent elements, he stated that he was referring to the Saudi Kingdom. Graham called the refusal of the Bush or Obama Administrations to release the documents a pervasive pattern of covering up the role of Saudi Arabia in 9/11 by all of the agencies of the federal governmentwhichhave access to information that might illuminate Saudi Arabias role in 9/11. Terry Strada, co-chair of 9/11 Families United for Justice Against Terrorism and widow of Tom Strada, said Private citizens and Congress must take action against those who are responsible for aiding and abetting the 19 hijackers that murdered nearly 3,000 innocent people on American soil no matter who they may be, no matter what government they are, no matter what country they come from. Strada emphasized the families call for three things: Accountability, Justice, and the Truth.She alsocalled for support from Congress for the passing of the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA), which would hold countries who fund terrorism accountable and give power to Congress to prosecute countries who fund terrorism. Also in attendance wereSylvia Carver, sister of Sharon Ann Carver (Pentagon victim); and Abraham Scott, widower of Janice Scott (Pentagon victim). Carver personally requestedPresident Obama release the 28 pages, stating that The families have a right to know the full story, we have a right to justice, and to closure. Abraham Scott, retired Army Officer, saidI stand before you in full support of the initiative of declassifying the 28 pages as well as passing JASTA. Support for the resolution and declassification of the pages has gained in popularity in recent months and years.Last summer, 9/11 Commission Chairman Thomas Kean and Vice Chairman Lee Hamilton also came out in support of declassification.Im embarrassed that theyre not declassified, Hamilton said to theNew York Post. BenSwann.com reported that former Secretary of State and potential U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, ISIS has received funding from the Saudis. Eight years after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, Clinton, wrote in a cable leaked by WikiLeaks that Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qaeda, the Taliban, LeT (Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistan) and other terrorist groups.

1	STAMFORD, CTIn response to criticism over World Wrestling Entertainment hiring policies, World Wrestling Entertainment Chairman Vince McMahon defended the league's reliance on Mexican wrestlers as 'the only way fans can witness the grueling, bone-crunching maneuvers that American wrestlers want nothing to do with.' Mexican wrestler Rey Mysterio Jr. absorbs a brutal hit during a non-televised WWE event. McMahon made the remarks after the Border Patrol, an unaffiliated Texas-based tag team known for wrestling masked Mexicans and then reporting them to Immigration and Naturalization Service officials, revealed that dozens of illegal Mexican wrestlers join the WWE each year. The wrestlers, also known as 'jobbers,' come in search of greater title opportunities and more interesting storylines than those available in their small, unorganized Lucha Libre leagues. 'These masked luchadores are hard-working, energetic, and always willing to learn new skills that Americans consider beneath themsuch as being power-bombed from the top turnbuckle or chokeslammed through the announcer's booth,' said McMahon on this week's WWE Raw. 'The idea that these Mexicans are somehow stealing jobs from American wrestlers is ridiculous,'McMahon said. 'After all, someone's got to take these folding chairs to the face.' McMahon then picked up a folding chair and whacked Rey Mysterio Jr. in the face. It is not known exactly how many Mexican wrestlers are on the WWE payroll, since many lack Social Security numbers, or even clear and verifiable identities, as McMahon himself admitted Monday. 'I know as much about these masked wrestlers as the fans do,' McMahon said. 'What's certain is, they often seem marvelous and mysterious, saintly, and even rude.' Yet some American-born wrestlers say they see the influx of Mexicans as a threat to current titleholders, with some going so far as to start on-camera feuds and challenge the Mexicans to special 'Retirement Matches.' 'Juventud Guerrera, you're headed for your own personal Day of the Dead,' said Triple H, a noted opponent of Mexican wrestlers. 'If I see you creeping down the aisle one more time, I'm going to notify the Big Boss Man, and you'll be sorry you ever crossed over into my storyline's territory.' WWE hopefuls seek better opportunities at the U.S.-Mexican border. Pro Wrestling Illustrated investigative reporter Bart Sweet said that McMahon is hiding cynical motives. 'The WWE just wants these men for cheap labor they can use at non-televised house shows,' Sweet said. 'They believe luchadores lack the looks, personality, or basic speaking skills to headline main events. Even if one did successfully climb to the top of the company ladder, he would immediately be suplexed off of it and through a table.' Legendary Lucha Libre wrestlers Mil Mascaras and The Son of Santo, who say they always longed to cross over to the U.S. in search of the American Dream, Dusty Rhodes, claimed that the WWE is exploiting its Mexican wrestlers. 'Match after match, the world can see that the Americans hit our brethren with foreign objects like brass knuckles or barbed-wire baseball bats, but U.S. officials turn a blind eye to the abuse,' Mascaras said. 'When they turn around, the Mexicans are passed out in sleeper-holds, which only perpetuates the untrue stereotype that Mexican wrestlers are lazy.' According to The Son Of Santo, the brutal smackdowns that Mexican wrestlers suffer through just to earn a living have begun to take their toll. 'One of our country's greatest stars, Eddie Guerrero, has already been worked to death,' The Son Of Santo said. 'If the WWE continues to allow them to perform this risky, high-flying labor, many more will end up in casket matches well before their time.' 
3	Michigan Takes Away the Right to Farm in the SuburbsDaisy Luther The right to farm in that state no longer exists for those who live on any property where there are 13 homes within one eighth mile or a residence within 250 feet of the property. This means that the folks who have a couple of goats, chickens, beehives, or rabbits living harmoniously in their suburban backyards are at the mercy of their local governments and their neighbors. The right to farm laws that are on the books originally came about when city dwellers moved to the country and complained about their rural surroundings things like smells and animal noises. However, the law has protected many people since then who just want some freedom from the system, whether they have a couple of acres or a suburban backyard. The issue here is that those of us who supply as much of our own food as possible are a threat to Big Agri. Michigan Sierra Club Chapter Assistant Director Gail Philbin [said] Tuesday that she believes the action will effectively remove Right to Farm Act protection for many urban and suburban backyard farmers raising small numbers of animals. The Michigan Agriculture Commission passed up an opportunity to support one of the hottest trends in food in Michiganpublic demand for access to more local, healthy, sustainable food, Philbin said via e-mail Tuesday. The commission is essentially taking sides in the marketplace, she said. She credited commissioners with listening thoughtfully to dozens of people who commented in opposition of the changes. However, in the end, she said, the commission made only minor modifications to the rules that, for the most part, wont change the reality facing the growing number of citizens around the state who seek some control over the quality of what they feed their families. She said the changes favor large farming operations and leave thousands of people who simply want to grow their own food to fend for themselves. (source) Kim White, who raises chickens and rabbits, said, They dont want us little guys feeding ourselves. They want us to go all to the big farms. They want to do away with small farms and I believe that is whats motivating it. Shady Grove Farm in Gwinn, Michigan is the six and a half acre home to 150 egg-laying hens that provide eggs to a local co-op and a local restaurant. The small Michigan farm also homes sheep for wool and a few turkeys and meat chickens to provide fresh healthy, local poultry. We produce food with integrity, Randy Buchler told The Blaze about Shady Grove Farm. Everything we do here is 100 percent natural we like to say its beyond organic. We take a lot of pride and care in what were doing here. Shady Grove Farm was doing its part to bring healthy, local, organic food to the tables of Gwinn residents, and it mirrors the attitudes of hundreds of other small farming operations in Michigan and thousands of others popping up around the nation. Farm Bureau has become another special interest beholden to big business and out of touch with small farmers, and constitutional and property rights of the little guy, Pine Hallow Farms wrote to the Michigan Small Farm Council. (source) This is not Michigans first attack on those who defy Big Agri. Back in 2012, a farmer had his heritage pigs declared an invasive species and was ordered to have them destroyed, even though his family had been raising that same breed for generations. Little by little, more people are becoming aware of the horrors in industrial agriculture. We dont want to ingest hormones and antibiotics secondhand. We realize that whatever the animal has been fed, we are also being fed, so we dont want to eat eggs that come from chickens fed GMO corn. We understand that the horrible cruelty in which factory-farmed animals are raised certainly does not result in a healthy meat product in the styrofoam package. We know that the only way you can know for sure what you are getting is to raise it yourself. Corporate interests cant have that, of course. They need folks to be blind and deaf to the atrocities they commit, or, at the very least, be unable to have the option to refuse to purchase the harvests of such atrocities. We here at Nutritional Anarchy strongly recommend raising your own food and buying locally, but in Michigan, that course of action is about to get a whole lot more difficult. Independence from the system is not just frowned on, its quashed completely. Welcome to your life in the Era of Agenda 21. Daisy Luther is a freelance writer and editor.

1	Sources confirmed Thursday that millions nationwide are signing up for Squandr, a new social discovery app employing GPS technology to match users with others in their vicinity who also wasted $2.99 on the same software. For me, its just a fun, no-risk way to meet new people and talk about how we all blew a few bucks on this app, said Kelly Harmon, 27, who said she was pleasantly surprised to discover just how many people in her immediate area had the same frivolous spending habits she did. You can be in a park or a coffee shop surrounded by strangers, but with this app, you can immediately start up a conversation about how money apparently has no meaning to you whatsoever. Its pretty cool. According to sources, many users are also opting to pay $4.99 for Squandr Premium, which offers the exact features of the original app for an additional two dollars. 
2	Secret Service Agent Dies While Serving Our Country, 4 Others Injured In a horrible incident earlier this week, five Secret Service agents were traveling down New Hampshire when they were hit by an oncoming car. Four Secret Service agents were injured Tuesday night in New Hampshire after a car crossed over double-yellow lines and hit the Secret Service officers vehicle head on. The four agents, whose names were not released, were transported to Frisbee Memorial hospital. The driver of the other car, Bruce Danforth, 45, died at the scene of the crash and two passengers with him were injured. Secret Service Director Joseph Clancy said Wednesday that the injuries were serious, but non life threatening. CNN We pray that these agents have a full recovery. Do you think our secret service deserve more appreciation?

3	ISIS Just So Happens to Hack CENTCOM While Obama Is Announcing New Cyber Security Legislation?Melissa Melton Via The Washington Free Beacon: Further: Really? How serendipitous. In fact, if you look up serendipitous in the dictionary, this situation might be in there as a textbook example. Obama is expected to address cyber security again at the State of the Union where he is set to continue drumming up support for two new pieces of legislation on cyber security he is about to propose. And now hes telling Americans that these attacks posea direct threat to the economic security of American families. Wired reported, The president cited the recent hacks at Target, Home Depot and Sony as primary reasons why Congress should pass the Personal Data Notification and Protection Act. The bill would help unify a multitude of state breach laws that currently exist. Lawmakers have tried for nearly a decade to pass a federal bill to replace the patchwork of state laws, but have repeatedly failed, in part because either the laws didnt go far enough or went too far. So for ten years theyve wanted to pass more federal laws to replace state laws, but they havent been able to now the Sony hack (which looks like a psyop) and the oh-so-timely CENTCOM hack and bam more laws? What better way to get support for passing more cyber security laws than an ISIS CENTCOM cyber attack occurring right when the president is talking about passing more cyber security laws? This is classic Hegelian Dialectic problem-reaction-solution for another government power grab. I mean, the writers ofWag the Dog couldnt make this stuff up. Or maybe they could, because it really seems like they did. The president will also be talking to the Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday about even more ways the nation can defend itself against cybercrime Considering that everything Homeland Security does seems to take a little more of our liberties in exchange for security (theater), this ought to be good. Also note that government officials are using the recent attack on French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo to justify and call for even more big brother surveillance society NSA spying on Americans. From recent article Sickening: Police Surveillance State Apologists Leap At Charlie Hebdo Opportunity To Advocate For More Spying, Less Freedom, in the blog Tech Dirt: Exactly. So while they are calling for even more surveillance state spying on Americans, even more unconstitutional collection of our data, at the same time they admit they cannot protect anyones data so please give them more laws and power? Does not compute.

2	This Country Legend Lived A Dark And Destructive Life Before Fame, What He Did While Prison Is INSANE Merle Haggard began his criminal ways when he was 9-years-old. This was the year his father passed away. Merle would go around breaking windows, lights, and mailboxes. Then, when he was 14, he ran away to Texas. He lived in Bakersfield, so he had to travel a long distance. When Merle came home he was arrested for shoplifting. He escaped Juvenile detention multiple times. He was finally caught on his last attempt. Then he was sentenced to 15 years in San Quentin Prison. Merle said this, My reputation of escape, they wouldnt let me out of the cell after 4 oclock in the afternoon. For the first 18 months, maybe a little more more, I wasnt able to participate in any of the functions that were available. Merle was put in solitary confinement for a week. There he had a few conversations with a death row inmate. After those talks Merle finally decided to stay on the straight and narrow. He kept a job at the prison, and then joined the country band. He was inspired by Johnny Cashs performance. Merle was even able to play at the Warden Show for good behavior. Did you know this about Merle? 
1	A junior-high gym-class badminton unit resulted in 948 'shuttlecock'-based double entendres Monday, shattering the previous mark of 761. The 948 jokes, all but three delivered by boys, ranged from 'Look, I'm whacking my shuttlecock' to 'Check out the little red tips on those cocks.' Top honors went to eighth-grader Brian Fitch, 14, who ran around the gym shouting, 'Where's my cock? I can't find my cockit was here a minute ago!' followed by a long string of marginally varied quips. 
1	While sitting alone on the porch of his home late Monday afternoon, George W. Bush, 63, chuckled upon suddenly remembering that he was once the president of the United States of America for nearly a decade. At times, the man who authorized two separate wars in as many years wonders if the whole thing wasn't just a dream. 'Huh,' uttered the amused former world leader, reflecting upon how for eight years he controlled the executive branch of the most powerful nation on earth, executed its federal laws, and acted as commander in chief of its 1.4 million active-duty troops. 'President.' 'Man, oh, man,' Bush added. 'Ha!' According to neighborhood sources, Bush then clapped his hands together lightly and shook his head in apparent disbelief. Bush, who served as president of the United States from 2001 to 2009, had reportedly been on the verge of nodding off during Monday afternoon's porch-sitting, and appeared pleasantly taken aback by the unexpected remembrance of his years in the White House. 'I was president,' murmured Bush, his mind returning again and again to the thought of 'eight years' as he emitted a series of short, guttural laughs that reportedly grew in volume the longer he lingered on his time in office. 'That was what I did for a living. Me. George W. Bush. For almost a decade.' 'I did that,' Bush added. 'As my job.' Continued Bush, 'I'll be damned if I wasn't the president of the United States of America.' Witnesses said the former president's chuckling grew even stronger as it dawned on him that, for eight straight years beginning in January 2001, he had the power to nominate executive and judicial officers to the federal government, as well as grant unlimited presidential pardons and reprieves if he so desired. Bush was then reportedly further tickled by the thought that he once had the authority to issue a televised address to the entire nation on a whim, gain an audience with any foreign leader he pleased, and launch all of the country's 2,700 active nuclear warheads at once, as these are all privileges reserved for the president of the United States, which is what George W. Bush was for two consecutive four-year terms. 'Whew! That's a hell of a thing,' said Bush, his eyes filling with deep reservoirs of tears as his chuckles turned to outright guffaws. 'That is just Wow.' As the sun began to set over his private residence in the Preston Hollow neighborhood of Dallas, Bush wiped the tears from his eyes and headed back inside for dinner. 'Hoo, boy,' said the 43rd president of the United States of America, George W. Bush, who was elected to the office on two separate occasions and served in the White House for the 225th through 232nd years of this country's history. 'I can't believe it.' Added Bush, 'I just can't believe it.' 
1	In an apparent attempt to keep himself relevant this season after a year off and a 50-game suspension to come, Manny Ramirez told reporters at an Oakland A's workout Monday he has been hard at work trying to teach birds how to snatch fly balls he hits and fly them over the fence for home runs. 'I had a lot of time to think about how to get more home runs and came up with birds,' explained Ramirez, pulling a parakeet out of an Athletics duffel bag filled with various birds and taping a baseball to its feet. 'Everybody loves it when I hit the home runs, man. Even the birds, the home run birds. If they see they can help me do it, they will help me.' Ramirez threw several birds taped to balls from the outfield toward the fence before giving up and taking the remaining animals into Oakland's tape room to show them footage of how sad he gets when he hits pop flies. 
1	Claiming that the evidence is in plain sight for those who want to see it, local man and passionate 9/11 Truth movement supporter Victor Sidwell, 32, told reporters Wednesday that he will not rest until everyone knows that he is a complete asshole. The zealous Truther, who for more than 10 years has reportedly labored to shed light on the fact that he is an obnoxious blowhard seemingly incapable of keeping his fucking mouth shut, vowed to continue lecturing acquaintances, confronting strangers, and handing out pamphlets on the street in an effort to convince as many people as possible that hes an absolute and utter prick. Ever since the so-called terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Ive only had one goal in mind: making people realize that Im a piece of shit, said Sidwell while posting a lengthy list of inconsistencies in the 9/11 Commission Report on a friends Facebook timeline. If you take even a cursory look at the available information, it becomes glaringly obvious that Im an abrasive jackass who routinely drowns out anyone unfortunate enough to get locked into a discussion with me. The proof is right there, he continued. Im a repugnant, grating fuck, and I wont stop until every single person knows it. Sidwell has reportedly gone to great lengths to publicize his position as an insufferable loudmouth by diverting every one of his conversations toward the melting point of structural steel, repeatedly calling in to talk radio shows to express his controversial beliefs as to what really happened on Flight 93, and placing What Did Cheney Know? stickers in bathrooms of numerous local businesses. Speaking with reporters, the staunch proponent of the controlled demolition 9/11 conspiracy theory conceded that it is not always easy making those around him recognize that he is an unapologetic bastard who needs to shut the fuck up and get a life. Sidwell affirmed that, in spite of the challenges, he remains determined to give a wake-up call regarding his supreme dickishness to everyone he meets by forcibly engaging them in debates in office break rooms, personal residences, bars, internet message boards, and grocery store checkout lines. According to the Truther, most of the public remains trapped inside a bubble in which they ignorantly perceive him as a rational, well-adjusted member of society. However, he claimed he is making notable progress in convincing more and more of them of the cold, hard reality every time he loudly interrupts a friends conversation in order to voice his suspicions concerning the whereabouts of the hijacked airliners missing black boxes. Even though its clear that Im an irritating dipshit, it sometimes takes people a while before theyre willing to take off the blinders and come to their senses, said Sidwell, who on a regular basis forwards lengthy chain emails containing unsourced accounts of missiles striking the Pentagon to everyone in his address book. But when you look at the objective facts, a clear picture begins to emerge: I have a compulsive need to engage in arguments in order to assert my intellectual superiority. I am in love with the sound of my own voice. I am not a good person. The more I reach out to others, the more apparent all of that becomes, Sidwell added. Having spent years disrupting city council meetings and leaving inflammatory comments on every single YouTube video he watches regardless of its content, sources predicted that it would not be long before Sidwell succeeded in his longtime goal of proving to the world that he is indeed a first-class shitheel. In fact, numerous sources close to Sidwell acknowledged that he has already succeeded in alerting them to the accuracy of his endless, obsessive claims that he is a jerkoff, with many of these individuals telling reporters that they now wonder how they could have ever doubted him. For the longest time, I thought Victor was a levelheaded individual whom you could stand to be around without wanting to tear your hair out, but eventually he was able to snap me out of my stupor, said Sidwells cousin Emily Hardin, noting that she at last became convinced of the Truthers detestable nature in the middle of his 40-minute diatribe on the potentially doctored wreckage photos of 7 World Trade Center at their last family Thanksgiving. At first, I was skeptical that he was an asshole, but now I believe. His tendency to seek out confrontations, his inability to talk about anything except 9/11, his refusal to let anyone else get a word in edgewiseit all adds up. He opened my eyes to what should have been clear from the start, she added. 
3	The Economic Recovery Continues: Businesses Are Being Destroyed Faster Than They Are Being CreatedMichael Snyder Personally, I write about our long-term economic decline nearly every day, but even I had no idea that businesses were being destroyed faster than they were being created. According to the Brookings Institution, this first started happeningin 2009 Bush Sr.: 11.3 As you can see, this is a problem that has been building for decades and that has accelerated under the Obama administration. We are strangling small business creation to death, and as a result the number of Americans that are self-employed just keeps going down. Just check out this chart Meanwhile, the economic recovery is continuing in the corporate world as well. On Tuesday, we learned that Office Depot is going to be closing 400 stores. Why would that happen if the economy was actually getting better? When this was announced, shares of Office Depot rose about 20 percent. I can never understand why that happens. You would think that when a business makes an announcement that essentially says our business is failing that it would cause people to dump the stock. In any event, this comes on the heels of an announcement by Staples back in March that it was going to shut down 225 stores in the United States and Canada. So where will we buy our pens and paper from now on? If the economy really was recovering, you would think that demand for office supplies would actually be on the rise. But the only places where the economy is recovering is in places such as Washington D.C., New York City and San Francisco. Those at the top of the pyramid are doing well, but almost everyone else in the country is really suffering right now. When you kill off small businesses and the entrepreneurial spirit, it tends to increasingly funnel money to the very top of the food chain. And this is precisely what is happening in America at this point. In a recent article, Charles Hugh Smithincluded a chart that shows how average household net worth in the U.S. breaks down by quartile Bottom 25%: $4,600 As you can see, the bottom 50 percent are really not that much above zero at all. In the old days, it seemed like almost everyone was middle class in America, but now that is rapidly changing. We can see this increasing divide in the real estate market as well. According toBloomberg, sales of million dollar homes are booming, but sales of homes at the low end are plunging So this explains why it is almost impossible to find an affordable home in San Francisco, but the overall homeownership rate in the United States has dropped to the lowest level in 19 years. But even in our wealthy enclaves there are signs of deep economic trouble. For example,in New York City the number of homeless children has soared to a new all-time high The only recovery being experienced in America is the one that is happening on Wall Street, in boardrooms in Silicon Valley and in the halls of power in Washington. In the rest of the country, retail stores are closing at the fastest pace that we have seen since the collapse of Lehman Brothers, 20 percent of all families do not have a single member that is employed and49 million Americans are dealing with food insecurity. There is no way that we are ever going to have a broad-based economic recovery in this nation if we continue to destroy small businesses. They are the lifeblood of any economy and they are the primary engine of job creation. Sadly, our politicians seem completely clueless about all of this. So they will continue to do the same things that they have always been doing and then wonder why the economy never seems to turn around.

1	Confident that people would once again embrace it as a beloved part of pop culture, steps were taken this week to reintroduce a once-popular thing to the public at large. 'If you look at all those other things that were popular for a while and then came back, this one is right up there with them,' said a high-ranking entertainment industry executive. 'Based on its past performance, we can treat the success of [this cultural touchstone] as a known quantity and predict that it will once again win America's heart.' At press time, the thing had not recaptured its original popularity, and had been met with multiple nods of recognition from people who remembered it from when they were children. 
1	In an unexpected outpouring of generosity and affection, local man Adam MacMillan spent 20 seconds Tuesday evening treating Melanie Traynor, his girlfriend of three years, to a luxurious back and neck massage on the couples couch, sources have confirmed. According to reports, Traynor was almost certainly brought to a state of utmost relaxation as her boyfriend intimately kneaded her neck with a single hand as he sat watching television, his sensual motions decreasing in intensity with each passing second. In addition, sources confirmed that Traynor was both delighted and entirely satisfied during the six-second period when her boyfriend was rubbing her vertebrae while under the impression they were muscles. After concluding the lavish massage with a few half-assed chopping motions on his girlfriends shoulders, MacMillan reportedly then turned to Traynor and insisted, Okay, my turn. 
2	They Banned Them From Singing The National Anthem, So Fans Do THIS Instead [VIDEO] Sporting events have always been a place for displaying national pride. The national anthem has been a historical opening to many events, with athletes and fans pausing to show respect for the country and hear unique renditions of The Star-Spangled Banner. That changes last year, when a softball game between Louisiana-Lafayette and Baylor was slated to start without the national anthem being played. The game was the culmination of the Lafayette regional NCAA Softball Tournament, and event attendees were told that because it was the third game of the day, their would be not national anthem. But fans werent having any of that. The fans at Lamson Park encouraged the event announcer to play the song while the teams were warming up. When those attempts failed, fans decided to belt out their own acappella rendition of our countrys anthem. Even the team stopped warming up to pay tribute to our country, and the performance was met with enthusiastic applause. This is a true act of patriotism, and reminds us that there is always time to be grateful for the country that provides us with so much freedom and opportunity.

2	BREAKING: Trump Shocks Entire Nation With Huge Announcement... Will You Still Stand By Him Donald Trump has been a man of many surprises ever since he entered the political arena, breaking boundaries that no other President-elect has been able to break before. Now, Trump announced he will once again be straying from tradition by utilizing a private security force when he takes office. According to Mediate, Trump will continue to supplement the Secret Service protection afford to him with a private security force led by Keith Schiller, a former NYPD police officer who first started working with Trump in 1999. Throughout his campaign, Trump called on Schiller to remove protesters and calm crowds of rioters. Last year, Schiller gained national attention for removing Jorge Ramos from a press conference. Politico reports that while several past presidential nominees have used private security or state police details, but experts could not name another president-elect continuing with their own security after Election Day, when Secret Service protection expands dramatically. In fact, the source reports, most candidates drop outside security the moment theyre given agents. Trump, on the other hand, has actually increased his security after being granted government protection in November. What do you think of Trumps decision to maintain security? Would you do the same?

1	After studying a rich fossil bed in the South Dakota plains, paleontologists from the University of Kansas have confirmed that most Cretaceous Period dinosaurs ultimately died in hospice care. Weve uncovered a number of fossils of elderly Tyrannosaurus Rexes and Troodons more or less seated in makeshift wheelchairs and covered in shawls, Professor Meredith Moreschi told reporters Friday, adding that once dinosaurs were too old to take care of themselves, they were loaded onto the back of a triceratops and carried to an assisted living facility where they could be looked after by a trained staff of anklyosaurs. We also found evidence of older, dementia-suffering velociraptors wandering off and being led back to the facility by stegosauruses, who essentially served as night nurses. Moreschi added that specific groupings of other fossils in the area indicated that younger dinosaurs didnt visit the older ones nearly as often as they could have.

Hey, Liam, can I see your notes from today, cause Ive really got nothing written down after the stuff Mrs. Leclair said about circles, said Hamlin, who figured that Bensona student whos widely recognized for knowing all the colorshad paid close attention to the lecture, which covered material that would almost certainly appear on an upcoming test. I was with her on triangleIm solid on thatbut then she started talking about things with four sides and I just kept spacing out. I looked at what I managed to write down about ovals and it doesnt even make sense. She was going way too fast. Ill have them back to you by tomorrow, I promise. At press time, a frustrated Hamlin was intently looking over Bensons notes and reminding himself that he didnt want a repeat of last years fiasco when he misidentified several sounds barnyard animals make. 
1	With the official start of the holiday season just days away, Chicago retailerslike those across the U.S.are bracing for the coming onslaught of shoppers with an unprecedented stockup on shit. In anticipation of the hordes of shoppers the holiday season brings, area retailers are busy filling their shelves with shit 'You wouldn't believe how much shit we are selling,' said Amos Frawley, manager of a Chicago-area Wal-Mart store. 'Electric razors, Toy Story videos, novelty ties, football phones, Hickory Farms cheese-and-meat gift setsyou name it, they're buying it. We're packing every inch of shelf space with shit, and we still can't keep up with the demand.' Among the shit expected to reach new sales levels this year is Christmas-themed shit, such as shiny tree decorations and ceramic, hand-painted Santa figurines. Also expected to sell well are articles of clothing which light up at night, such as glow-in-the-dark Joe Boxer-brand boxer shorts and battery-operated Dearfoam slippers with special 'Nite-Lites' attached to the front. 'Novelty shit always seems to sell well,' said Elaine Maier, head apparel buyer for an area Marshall Field's department store. 'Then again, around this time of year, people will buy just about any shit they can get their hands on.' Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, IL, is getting into the spirit of the holidaysand of selling loads of shitby decorating its courtyard in a 'Wonderland of Shit' motif featuring Christmas-themed shit from all 172 of its stores. Actor Jeff Goldblum is slated to appear at the mall Friday to officially kick off the festivities by reciting his famous Jurassic Park line, 'That is one big pile of shit.' Though Christmas is still weeks away, the shopping has already hit a fever pitch. 'I got to the mall at 6 a.m. today, two hours before it even opened,' said Edgar Janks of DeKalb, IL. 'I want first crack at the shit. Nobody wants to get there after all the good shit's gone.' Said Chicago's Debra Tanner, who was at the mall Monday to buy a large amount of shit, including a cordless phone, a Charlotte Hornets NBA Starter jacket and a five-speed foot massager: 'I don't have nearly enough time to get the shit I need.' Lower prices are also expected to spur purchases of shit this year. Toys 'R' Us, the nation's largest toy retailer, is aggressively promoting its seasonal slogan, 'The shit you want at the best prices.' 'Not only is there more shit this year than ever before,' said noted economist Milton Friedenzohn, 'but what there is is far shittier. The Sanyo boom boxes being sold this year, for example, are even more likely to break than those from the previous year. And those new Panasonic WebTVs are just shit.' In addition to familiar retailers, shops specializing in seasonal shit are opening temporarily in hopes of capitalizing on the December craving for shit. 'Christmas Shit,' 'Wicks 'n' Shit,' and 'Bob's Shittery' are just a few of the stores offering customers nothing but shit. Even supermarkets are altering their inventories to meet the demand for shit, filling shelves with decorative snack tins featuring depictions of Santa Claus, which cost twice as much as comparable items that come in ordinary packaging. Also available are pfefferneuse cookies, egg nog and holiday Oreo cookies with red shit inside. Said Friedenzohn: 'There's going be a whole lot of shit under America's Christmas trees this year.' 
2	Obama Just Insulted Veterans In A Huge Way [VIDEO] At the beginning of this week we celebrated Veterans Day, a day specifically designed to remember the men and women who have bravely fought for our country. For Obama, the holiday also means falling off the face of the planet, and ignoring those defending our country completely. Fortunately, George W. Bush was willing to pick up Obamas slack this year, as a former President who actually respects our armed forces. This year, Bush released a video in which he delivers a heartfelt message to our veterans. The caption posted along with the video reads: On Veterans Day, we pause to thank those who serve in the United States military. We also thank their families and the hundreds of people who support our servicemen and women and home and overseas. Honor your favorite veteran by posting their picture on sociall media using #KnowOurVets and click her to learn more about what the Bush Institutes Military Service Initiative is doing to support veterans and their families. Watch the video below and tell us what you think of Obamas silence. 
1	Veteran OfficeMax employee Drew Hillenberg regaled younger staff members on Friday, sharing his stories from a bygone era when gel pens were among the hottest sellers at the big-box business supply store. Man, I remember back in 97, gel pens were hugeId sell boxes of em every day, it was that crazy, said Hillenberg of the fluorescent water-based gel writing instruments, adding that he knew gels were going to be big when customers began regularly asking for them by name in the late 90s. I remember blue, green, and purple moved pretty fast, but clear? Damn. Wed have to restock those babies twice a day. It was really something. Hillenberg went on to inform coworkers that while the current demand among the stores customers for water-based rollerballs was impressive, it was nothing like what we used to see for gels. 
1	After spending more than three hours hearing about the world of choices available for his comfort, convenience and satisfaction as a new couch owner, area home-furnishings shopper Lee Rothamer admitted Monday that he had no idea there was so much to know about buying a sofa. Lee Rothamer, who mistakenly thought he would be able to simply select a sofa and purchase it. 'I always thought that once I'd decided which color I wanted, that would be it,' said Rothamer, browsing the aisles of the east-side location of Anton's Furniture. 'Boy, was I wrong.' Rothamerwho was guided through his sofa purchase by Randy Gurvis, his friendly, knowledgeable Anton's Furniture sales associatehad initially allotted just one hour for the purchase, operating under the assumption that he could simply walk into the store, find a sofa he liked, pay for it, and leave. 'I guess I'm going to be late for work,' said Rothamer after more than an hour at Anton's. 'There are all these options I have to choose from. For the most part, I don't know what to say. I just sort of want a couch.' Gurvis, who in his 11 years as an Anton's Furniture 'Gold Star' floor man has attended 14 sales-training seminars and six product shows held by major home-furnishings manufacturers, told Rothamer he was fully committed to helping him find the 'perfect piece.' 'Lee, here at Anton's, you aren't forced to choose from just three or four models,' Gurvis said. 'I realize you probably feel somewhat overwhelmed by Anton's incredible selection of high-quality, top-brand sofas, recliners, hide-away beds and loveseats. But in the long run, you'll appreciate being given the chance to find the exact couch that's custom-tailored to suit your specific needs and wants.' Rothamer, who declined to fill out the 15-point Anton's Customer Survey, was questioned by Gurvis about his planned uses for the sofa and the style of the room in which it is to go. Unable to provide any answers, Rothamer noted that his apartment was 'new and pretty big' and that he was 'thinking of getting something nice.' 'I've got a decent amount of money I can spend,' Rothamer said. 'So, I don't know, what do you have?' Applauding Rothamer's willingness to pay a little extra for quality, Gurvis told him that a couch like a Broyhill three-piece sectional can last up to twice as long as one costing 30 percent less. Gurvis then took Rothamer on a tour of the showroom, pointing out the dazzling array of available styles, which include traditional, modern, informal and country. Rothamer was also told he could either mix and match couches, chairs and accent pieces or simply purchase a single themed set, such as Rustic, Queen Anne or Cottage. 'And if you want to special-order a couch with another fabric, Lee, not only are there thousands of patterns to choose from,' said Gurvis, handing Rothamer a 10-pound book of swatches, 'but you can choose among cotton, linen, wool and polyester, just to name a few. Or you could go with a classy crushed velveteen or a durable, kid-friendly nylon. Or even the lesser-known but equally good Olefin. Lee, it's all up to you.' 'Then, of course, there's the eternal question,' Gurvis added. 'To Stainguard or not to Stainguard?' After sitting on five couches while Gurvis stood over him and tried to gauge his reaction, Rothamer stopped at a dark-green, square-backed couch. 'This is pretty nice,' Rothamer said. 'Do all those pillows come with it?' Responding that the pillows did not, Gurvis praised Rothamer's interest in the Contemporary Casuals piece. 'It's very nice, simple yet elegantthe perfect bachelor statement,' Gurvis said. 'And though you can't see it, this couch has an exceptional frame. The type of wood, springs and padding inside a couch should be one of the most important factors in your decision.' 'High-density polyurethane foam is the most common core used in the industry, but premium-end manufacturers always offer a variety of other core options, including dacron fiber, innerspring coils and even goose down,' Gurvis continued. 'And, as you may or may not know, a frame can be glued, joined, nailed or screwed together, all with varying effects on cost and durability.' Admitting that he had not known that, Rothamer took out his American Express card and told Gurvis he would take 'that green one.' Rothamer, stunned by the final price after sales tax and add-ons, then signed the credit-card slip. He was told he could expect delivery of his new couch, a model Gurvis said is on factory back order, sometime between Nov. 1 and Jan. 10. 
2	BREAKING: Fox News Reporter Commits Suicide Outside Network Headquarters Recently, a former Fox News employee made a disgruntled trip to network headquarters in New York City. Why? He wanted to confront Fox for reportedly ruining his life. Philip Perea, 41, had been slamming the news network on through his social media accounts for months before he made the decision to arrive at headquarters. He posted a series of aggressive tweets and YouTube videos accusing the network of ruining his life. In one tweet, he asked: Will be homeless thanks to FOX lies. Is this the America you want? When Perea arrived at headquarters, he began handing out fliers outside of the building, attacking Fox for ending his career. When security guards confronted him and asked him to leave the premises, he shot himself. Perea was immediately rushed to Bellevue Hospital in critical condition, but died just one hour later. What do you think of Pereas death?

1	Calling it a far more important use of her time right now, Patti Leyland-Ford, daughter of 67-year-old Tigers manager Jim Leyland, made the decision this week to use some personal days at work to join the Tigers for the World Series and help her dad out around the clubhouse. Carlita normally helps look after him during the season, but this is a special moment for Dad, so I wanted to be here myself, the 39-year-old mother of two told reporters. Its nothing too difficult, really: filling out his lineup card, making sure he takes his medicine, and helping him out to the mound if he wants to pay a visit. He grumbles a bit, she added. But its for his own good. Patti, who also spent a month with the team last season after the Tigers manager fell down the dugout stairs in Oakland, was careful not to diminish her fathers work, acknowledging that hes still very sharp, but maybe just a little more forgetful than he used to be. For the most part, Patti has reportedly respected her fathers independence, only stepping in once in Game 1, to pull struggling reliever Jose Valverde in the seventh inning, when Leyland had gone into the clubhouse to look for a blanket. We all love Jim, but its no secret that he needs an extra hand, and thats nothing to be ashamed of, said pitching coach Jeff Jones, who noted that Jims poor eyesight would never have allowed him to notice that pitcher Justin Verlander was struggling to place his fastball the way Patti had. Patti helps keeps the mood brighter, too. When Jim tried to tell us to get John Smiley up in the pen, were all thinking, John Smiley hasnt played baseball in 15 years. Patti helped us laugh it off, though, and said to get [Al] Alburquerque up, which was the right call. The Tigers skipper has received additional assistance around the dugout since the 2010 season, when visiting family members began to notice Leyland misplacing items around his office and making questionable assessments of the teams outfield. Leylands wife and kids all emphasized, however, that Jim was still very much in charge of the Tigers, and any support was strictly provided in case of an emergency. Family members were quick to point out that they were all very proud of the Tigers manager. You see that sparkle in his eye once that first pitch is thrown, and you know you cant take this away from him, Leyland-Ford said. But at the same time, you watch him try to take the field with his pants on backwards, or forget that Delmon Young has an OPS against lefties nearly 200 points higher than he does against righties, and you know he just cant do it on his own anymore.' Leyland-Fords husband, Ron Ford, went on the record Thursday saying he fully supports his wife taking some extra time to help her father, and noted that the Tigers were lucky to have her there making sure Jim eats and chooses a batting order using players on the teams active roster. Sometimes I wonder if he would be better off in a little less stressful environment, Ford said. Managing a team in the World Series is a lot for somebody like Jim. I just think someplace like with the Royals or Astros might be a little more his speed. 
1	Following the Cleveland Cavaliers' Wednesday night loss to the fourth-place Detroit Pistons, LeBron James attempted to point out as gently as possible why leaving the 8-45 basketball team was probably the best decision he could have made. 'So, you guys kind of get why I did that now?' James asked reporters, holding up a newspaper showing the Eastern Conference standings and coughing. 'I mean, you know, they've lost 26 games in a row. That's a lot of games. I'm good, but I fully admit I can't lead a team like that to the title. Sure, I could have gone about leaving in a much better fashion, but come on, right?' James added that he meant no offense by his comments and that he was 'just saying.' 
3	Activists 3D Printed a Gun In Front Of State Capitol BuildingJohn Vibes Anybody can purchase one of these to print firearms in their own homes, Murdoch Pizgatti, president of CATIsaid onNBC News. There has been a heateddebate about 3D printing technology in the past few years, as 3D print gun projects like Wikiweapon have begun to grow in popularity and gather press recognition. Wikiweapon was a project that intended to share open-source blueprints for 3D printed guns, allowing anyone with the right equipment to manufacture a firearm from their home. The Ghost Gunner is made by Defense Distributed, the parent company of the Wikiweapon project, and set up by founder Cody Wilson. The company is fittingly based in Austin, Texas, where the protest took place this week. There are many technologies that are beginning to emerge in the consumer market that have the potential to radically disrupt the status quo and shift the power balance on this earth in favor of the general population. 3D printers are one of the first of these devises that come to mind, with the ability to mold any 3 dimensional object from a precise computer graphic. So far, this technology has beenused to replace bonesand body parts in people, creatingexoskeletons for children with congenital illnessesin order to help them walk, and it is even said that someday people will have the ability to print working human organs through cheap home devices. If given the ability to flourish and develop in every way possible, the millions of people who end up using this technology will be able to create amazing things that could reshape this world for the better in a short amount of time. However, as always, the one thing that stands in the way of this achievement are the monopolists of the State, and their violently imposed restrictions on freely interacting individuals.

3	When Did People Stop Believing in Freedom?By Truthstream Media Whether you believe in their ideologies or not, people used to fight for what they believe in with greater conviction in this country. Once upon a time, people actually stood up for their natural rights and protested. Now people are quietly going about their day just hoping to stay off the radar, or worse, they have been taught and actually believe that giving up liberty for a sense of security is a good trade off to keep them safe with misguided lines like Im not doing anything wrong so I have nothing to worry about. Truthstream Can Be Found Here: What freedoms are you referring to? People of this country are not free and have never been free. Today is a perfect example. The media lambasted private owners of these lightweight plastic drones. The hype is that airports are constantly filled with drones flying around and it may just cause a airliner to crash. I knew what was coming. They, the PTBs, create an (faux) issue and take your freedom away.immediately. So what happened today? Anyone? Well the FAA came out and said all drones must be registered. And get this.for a fee. The same fee they charge a small Cessna single engine plane. So there ya go! Another right taken away immediately and the funny part is that THEY ARE GONNA CHARGE YOU NOW FOR THE RIGHT THEY JUST STOLE FROM YOU. When americans (the ignorant ones) speak of our culture and heritage I wonder what they speak of. There is no culture or heritage of america besides the mindset of ignorance, arrogance, self-righteousness and greed. We are a country that kills and destroys, and we create the citizens to complete this work whether they work for government, the police, the military, the MIC and other private entities. When people are asked whether they are free, the context is always one as compared to a less privileged and less civilized country. Please tell me how you are free here in the USA, Inc. I think you are dreamer if you say we are free. You have no idea what freedom feels like. But enjoy the dream because thats all it is! A few years ago a poll was taken in China. the people were asked if they were free and a vast majority of them said yes. As with the majority of Americans, they also believe they are free. When asked to explain these freedoms, no one can answer. The only right we ever had here in America is the right to remain silent. Alas, even that right has been taken away. The American dream, you have to be asleep to believe it. It actually much worse than that. These same dolts who think it is okay to give up their own liberty for a false sense of security (from a virtually non-existent threat) are more than happy to give up their own and restrain others (arguably) most fundamental freedom freedom of speech in the name of safe spaces, political correctness, and the ludicrous false right to not be offended. I wish they could understand how much this pathetic and cowardly attitude offends those of of who stand for freedom and fundamental rights. The true terrorists are the bought and paid for press who pump up the threat of terror and poison the minds and spirits of the young. A nation of cowards will have a government of terrorists. Stop being afraid, and terror stops working. Freedom and liberty are two different things. I want my freedom but not their dog collar liberty. Life, Freedom and the Pursuit of Happiness. Liberty is for those who like paying fees, taxes and asking permission to go here or there. Freedom is unalienable and liberty is inalienable. No matter how hard the alien/military/industrial/complex tries to ruin my day, the planet and enslave the masses; they cannot stop my spirit from moving and doing. What is spirituality? So, tell us about your lifestyle. Hard is the pathway that leads to the WISDOM, Men and women have been broken physically, mentally and spiritually in wars to protect our freedoms. Rights pissed away to make the line go faster. apparently, yeshua immanuel is being used as a proxy for a muslim with insightful thoughts. However, his only objective appears to be off topic blathering that moves relevant and substantive comments to the bottom. Perhaps so they may not be read. It wouldnt surprise me in the least if this is just another tricked use by AP to neutralize comments. You are mixing apples and oranges. Just because it was the same crooks and their descendants using the same tactics to enslave their populations, it doesnt matter. 
2	You Will Now Be Financially Responsible For Hillary Clintons Speeches According to recent reports, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is preparing to run for president in 2016, and has begun making several public appearances. Unfortunately the Democrats who want to hear her speak are in for some pretty ridiculous contracts. Hillary demands a whopping $2,777 per minute to speak publicly, and her contracts include demands that press be prohibited from the venue. Another limit? The number of photos she has to take with attendees. As if that isnt enough, Hillary wants the spotlight entirely to herself, and demands that she is the only one on stage during her speeches. And that is only if she shows up. According to reports, she may elect to reschedule or cancel her appearancefor any reason whatsoever and at any time prior to the engagement. What do you think? Are Hillarys demands ridiculous? 
2	Trey Gowdy Makes History In The Greatest Strategic Move Yet... For weeks now, the press has been speculating about President-elect Donald Trumps potential choices for his cabinet. The process has already been full of surprises. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was ousted from the transition, for instance. An immense amount of focus has been placed on South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy. Many Trump supporters speculated Trump would reward Gowdy for his tireless investigation efforts. This week, Trump revealed that both Gowdy and fellow Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina will be joined his Presidential transition team. Gowdy will serve on Trumps twenty person executive committee, and Senator Scott will serve as vice chairman of the team. It is an honor to join Vice President-elect (Mike) Pence on the Presidential Transition Team, and I look forward to working with the co-chairs to help build an exceptional administration, Scott said of his position. I will continue to advocate for policies and people that will bring opportunity to every household across the country, and restore hope where it has been lost. I want to thank President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Pence for the chance to serve. What do you think of Trumps picks so far? 
2	BREAKING: Federal Court Formally Charges Obama With Treason This Is It The U.S. Army recently announced that they would move forward with charging Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl with deserting, a move that turned attention back to the Obama administration and their controversial decision regarding Taliban prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. Now, California attorney Orly Taitz has moved forward with filing a charge of treason against President Obama in federal court. Taitz is best known for her lawsuits surrounding Obamas identitymore specifically, his birth certificate and SSN document. Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States, Taitz writes, outlining 18 U.S. Code, Sec. 2381. The motion then goes on to list the many ways that Obama and the administration broke the law. What do you think of Taitzs lawsuit? 
2	Disgraceful Democrats Who Were Boycotting Trump Just Got The Worst News Of Their Lives As of yesterday, 59 Democratic lawmakers have announced they will be boycotting Donald Trumps inauguration this Friday. Now, the president-elect is pushing back on this act of disrespect. As far as other people not going, thats OK, because we need seats so badly, Trump said on Wednesday in an interview with Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt. No, what happens to their tickets? I hope theyre gonna give us their tickets. I hope they give me their tickets. Many of those promising to boycott cited Trumps recent feud with Congressmen John Lewis as their reason. Lewis went head to head with Trump over the weekend, claiming Trump is not a legitimate president. Trump responded to these claims by saying Lewis is all talk and no action. In the interview with Earhardt, Trump slammed Lewis once again, exposing him for boycotting former President George W. Bushs inauguration in 2001. He conveniently doesnt remember, Trump commented. How do you forget if you go to an inauguration? I can tell you when I was at inaugurations and you dont forget something like that. Later, in the same interview, Trump said that he actually dislikes tweeting and only uses social media as a defense against the medias attacks on him. Look, I dont like tweetingI have other things I could be doing, Trump commented. But I get very dishonest media, very dishonest press. And its my only way that I can counteract. When people make misstatements about me, Im able to say it and call it out. Now, if the press were honest, which its not, I would absolutely not use Twitter. I wouldnt have to.

2	Muslim Man Murdered In Front Of Son And Body Dragged To Mosque Were still waiting to see evidence of that religion of peace that Obama talks about. According to recent reports, Muslims in Dalga, Egypt just murdered a Christian man in front of his son, and then proceeded to drag his bullet-ridden body to a mosque. Once there, they tied his body to a tractor and mutilated his corpse. They reportedly screamed Allahu Akbar! throughout the process. The man was buried hours later in a local cemetery. He was only there a day before the group of Muslim men took his body and dragged it through the streets. They repeated this senseless ritual three times a day, with seemingly no motive. The victim was reportedly running a local barber shop when the Muslims attacked him and burned down the business. We were at work when we heard Muslims were burning churches, the victims son, Boutrous, recalls. Leaders in the mosques were telling Muslims to attack Christians and kill themThey broke into the shop, took everything and burned the place down. They caught my father and shot him multiple times. Then they dragged his body to the mosque. We have no money, no clothes, no job, our home in destroyed, and our business is destroyed, he concluded. Three hundred homes, 100 businesses, 15 churches and about 10 Christian organizations were destroyed in my provinceChristians in Egypt are expecting death at any timeI thank the Lord I am still alive. What do you think of this incident? Do radical Islamic terrorists deserve to see justice? This is a world-wide crisis that cannot be ignored.

3	Scientists Discover New Technique to Remove Fluoride from Drinking WaterAndrew Puhanic, Contributor Common techniques used for defluoridation are coagulation-precipitation, membrane process and ion exchange. The problem with these three techniques is that they are either too expensive or they further pollute the water. Researchers from the National University of Sciences and Technology in Pakistan have discovered an effective method to remove fluoride from drinking water that is less expensive than conventional filtration processes and is safe to use. The study, published in the Journal of Chemistry, concluded that the removal of fluoride from drinking water using modified immobilized activated alumina (MIAA) resulted in a removal efficiency that was 1.35 times higher than normal immobilized activated alumina. The adsorption method that is used by modified immobilized activated alumina (MIAA) is much more cost-effective (Ali, I., Gupta, V. K. [2007] Advances in water treatment by adsorption technology. Nature Protocols) than the popular Reverse Osmosis Filtration method. Considering that both MIAA and Reverse Osmosis Filtration remove more than 90% of fluoride, MIAA could be a viable alternative to removing fluoride from drinking water supplies in developing countries. Unfortunately, there are some limitations to the use of MIAA in removing fluoride from drinking water. The greatest challenge in the use of MIAA for removing fluoride from drinking water is filtering MIAA once all fluoride has been absorbed. Ultimately, the primary challenge faced when trying to removing fluoride from drinking water is cost. The use of modified immobilized activated alumina (MIAA) to remove fluoride from drinking water could become a viable option that would enable communities in both developed and developing nations to remove fluoride from drinking water.

3	High Salt Diet Protects Against Infection, Increases Immune FunctionHeather Callaghan You may remember a landmark JAMA study in 2011 that showed that contrary to what the medical community espoused for years salt actually lengthens your life; it doesnt cut your life or raise the risk of hypertension. That study found that people actually lived longer if they consumed salt. Notably, they were not studying pink Himalayan salt, but regular old, processed table salt. Additionally, a Cochrane study confirmed that salt did not cause heart or blood pressure problems and that reducing the substance offered no reduction of heart risks. Some people are consuming salt in their water to help with adrenal function and hydrate better in the summer heat. Now researchers, in a study published by Cell Press March 3rd in Cell Metabolism reveals that dietary salt could have a biological advantage: defending the body against invading microbes. Up to now, salt has been regarded as a detrimental dietary factor; it is clearly known to be detrimental for cardiovascular diseases, and recent studies have implicated a role in worsening autoimmune diseases. Our current study challenges this one-sided view and suggests that increasing salt accumulation at the site of infections might be an ancient strategy to ward off infections, long before antibiotics were invented. A press release goes on to say: A high-salt diet increased sodium accumulation in the skin of mice, thereby boosting their immune response to a skin-infecting parasite. The findings suggest that dietary salt could have therapeutic potential to promote host defense against microbial infections. Senior study author Jens Titze adds: Despite the overwhelming evidence linking dietary salt to disease in humans, the potential evolutionary advantage of storing so much salt in the body has not been clear. They first curiously teamed up to study this idea when they noticed that some wounded cage mice had unusually high amounts of salt accumulated at the infected wound sites. They found that infected areas in patients with bacterial skin infections also showed remarkably high salt accumulation. Moreover, experiments in mice showed that a high-salt diet boosted the activity of immune cells called macrophages, thereby promoting the healing of feet that were infected with a protozoan parasite called Leishmania major. This writer has to laugh upon realizing that the aim for future similar studies is to create drugs that modify salt metabolism to protect against disease. Yet, the whole idea behind demonizing salt all those decades was to offer salvation blood pressure drugs. As always, they must offer a caveat, as one does not flippantly violate one of the biggest medically dogmatic tenants of the last century. Jantsch says: Due to the overwhelming clinical studies demonstrating that high dietary salt is detrimental to hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, we feel that at present our data does not justify recommendations on high dietary salt in the general population. Nevertheless, in situations where endogenous accumulation of salt to sites of infection is insufficient, supplementation of salt might be a therapeutic option. But this needs to be addressed in further studies. Could these findings mean that various kinds of salt baths could offer protection too? Jantsch says, We also think that local application of high-salt-containing wound dressings and the development of other salt-boosting antimicrobial therapies might bear therapeutic potential. The benefits of the Dead Sea rings a bell. Recent posts byHeather Callaghan: 
3	Bill Gates at 60: An Alternative RetrospectiveBy Heather Callaghan Articles such as Bill Gates at 60: His ten defining moments and As Bill Gates Turns 60: A Look at 10 Key Years, such tributes are boiled down to what amounts to Bills 10 greatest hits. These milestones mentioned by the two articles above and the slew of other articles in the same vein focus on the creation of Microsoft, his infamous mugshot moment and a number of opportunistic deals clinched by Gates over the years. However, in honor of Mr. Gates, it is important to also provide a list of his deep tracks that were not so heavily covered in the mainstream media. Below are just a few. Living up to the family tradition of promoting sterilization and the legacy of Planned Parenthood, Gates launched an ambitious plan to push the development of microchips which would temporarily sterilize women. The same developers who are bringing wireless remote-controlled microchip implants are actually focusing on their first flagship product: Gates Foundation-funded birth-control microchip implants. Wireless technology allows the remote-controlled chip to turn a womans ability to conceive off or on at will temporary sterilization. Of course with remote technology funded by eugenics depopulation fanatics, the first questions should always be, the ability to conceive by whose will? This would be the complete antithesis of female empowerment or a womans right to choose would it not? The encryption is alleged to be so safe, that cyberhackers cannot break entry that means you too. The chipcan be implanted into the hip, arms or beneath the back. Mum was the word during the last few years of development until it was finally publicly confirmed that the beta testing for the birth control chip would be starting towards the end of this year. Indeed, keeping in line with the eugenics fanaticism, Gates will be targeting women in third world countries like India and Africa to test the chip on them before introducing it to the greater commercial market. When it comes to forceful health initiatives, especially those sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation India is the new Africa. Yet another Gates-funded initiative seeks to use influence, ferret out true believer health officials, leverage their influence for social manipulation, paint the culture as uneducated and convince them to get with the Western health program. Anongoing study of cultural behavior is described in the paper Integrating social networks and human social motives to achieve social influence at scale in the September 15, 2014 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The idea is to pair social networks with social motives to close the science gap. In other words, to put authoritative findings into direct action and overcome cultural caution. It is essentially a wide-reaching and deep-acting propaganda system to heavily influence neonatal care in India. The example used in the study focuses on convincing Indian mothersthat applying a topical solution of chlorhexidine to cleanse a newborns umbilical cord reduced the neonatal mortality rate by 24 percent, but to the chagrin of Gates-backed researchers, many Indian parents did not receive or follow this information. They stuck to their method of mustard oil a powerful Ayurveda solution that is becoming more popular in the U.S. for its stimulation of the circulation system. This observation of human beings as though they are lab rats, and the effort of trying to break them of their culture, talks about using tactics of knowledge management and using influencers to get people to change. Such tactics border on brainwashing techniques used by Chinese captors on American soldiers. See for yourself the kind of degrading language the researchers use toward the superstitious Indians. Gates clearly thinks highly of his work, particular in the global vaccination push department. Brandon Turbeville writes, In a recent interview with the London Telegraph, Bill Gates has now claimed that his Foundations massive push for vaccination is not just an exercise in philanthropy but that it is, in fact, Gods work. Gates, who, according to the Telegraph, is worth an estimated $65 billion, is now dedicating his life to the eradication of poliomyelitis, or, at least he is dedicating himself to the vaccination program allegedly aimed at achieving these ends. As reported by the Telegraph, My wife and I had a long dialogue about how we were going to take the wealth that were lucky enough to have and give it back in a way thats most impactful to the world, he says. Both of us worked at Microsoft and saw that if you take innovation and smart people, the ability to measure whats working, that you can pull together some pretty dramatic things. Were focused on the help of the poorest in the world, which really drives you into vaccination. You can actually take a disease and get rid of it altogether, like we are doing with polio. Not all of Bill Gates vaccine campaigns have been public relations successes, however. For instance, as Turbeville writes, In what may prove to be a minor public relations setback for vaccine pushers like Bill Gates and GlaxoSmithKline, the much touted Mosquirix malaria vaccine recently rolled out in Africa has been officially demonstrated to be only 30% effective in babies.Results from the final-stage trial administered by GSK appeared to demonstrate that the vaccine only provided modest protection for babies aged six to 12 weeks, with a reduction in the contraction of the disease by only 30%, a much lower number than what had been touted by those promoting the jab in the industry and the corporate media. Reuters also reports that for children after the age of six months, a 65% rate was established. For children of five to 17 months old, the researchers claim a protection of around 50%. In response to what Reuters has dubbed a surprisingly poor result for the vaccine, Bill Gates stated, The efficacy came back lower than we had hoped, but developing a vaccine against a parasite is a very hard thing to do.Indeed, Gates is correct in suggesting the difficulty for creating a vaccine for a Protozoan, the type of parasite which causes malaria, This is because vaccines are supposedly designed to protect against viruses. Thus, the Mosquirix vaccine enters into the growing science of DNA vaccines a research field which is expanding but also one in which the science is still very much out in regards to effectiveness, safety, and even possibility. Nevertheless, GSK has announced that it will not be giving up in the attempt to develop Mosquirix into a more effective vaccine, and will be working with governments and international groups in order to fund the operation. GSK claims it does not plan to make a profit from Mosquirix, although it admits that it will be charging a 5% profit margin on the product. The funding for the development and rollout, of course, will be coming from the governments and international groups mentioned above, meaning it is the cash-strapped taxpayer who must shovel out the cash for yet another eugenics program aimed at poor Africans. Turbeville has documented Bill Gates vaccine exploits on a number of different occasions. Yet he has also brought to light a number of questionable campaigns promoted by Gates that are not related to vaccines at all. Such as Gates connection to The Better Than Cash Alliance and the push for a cashless society. Turbeville writes in his article Better Than Cash Alliance Backed by Bill Gates to Usher in Cashless Society: It appears that while Bill Gates was content to play the role of Microsoft innovator and billionaire philanthropist early on, he has decided that the second half of his life deserves a more open and slightly more honest twist. Indeed, in recent years Bill Gates and his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have funded a variety of initiatives aimed at reducing population, promoting toxic vaccinations, and now hyping and funding the development of the cashless society. In a recent article by Peter McCoy published in Bloomberg Businessweek, McCoy reveals that Bill Gates is opposed to physical cash currency because, like vaccine-free populations who are able to determine their own reproduction rates, it hurts poor people (according to Gates). Indeed, McCoy writes that Gates hates cash because of its effect on people at the opposite end of the wealth spectrumthe worlds poor and unbanked. Of course, in third world countries that are suffering from starvation, civil war, and abysmal living standards, the answer is clearly banking. If only these nations had more banks and greater access to banks the private banks of course then we would finally see the living standards of these nations raised to truly acceptable levels. If only more people had access to digital transactions, then empty bellies would soon be filled. Sarcasm aside, the push toward a cashless society under the guise of benefiting the poor and underserved is a very real movement. As McCoy points out in his article, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has been instrumental in this regard as major backers of the Better Than Cash Alliance an organization that was established last September whose stated objectives are to reach the following goals by 2017: The Better Than Cash Alliance founding members and financiers boasts of a list of organizations that have their own sordid histories from the distant past all the way back to present times. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which is instrumental in population reduction initiatives via vaccination programs, abortion and sterilization, and other programs; Citi, the major international bank who wasintricately involved in the 2008 derivatives crisis; the Ford Foundation, representatives of which actually stated to Reece Commission Chief Investigator Norman Dodd that the goal of the foundation was to comfortably merge the United States with the Soviet Union; Omidyar Network; and VISA Inc. which has long been interested in creating a cashless society. Yet the Better Than Cash Alliance has more than just corporate and private sector sponsors as one of the key founding members and financiers is, in fact, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), a government agency that answers directly to the U.S. Secretary of State. It has been understood for some time that USAID is nothing more than CIA front operation for intelligence gathering and as a facilitation mechanism for the CIA funding of foreign governments andorganizations. In addition, the Better Than Cash Alliance founder and financier roster contains the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), the UNs capital investment agency reserved for use with the least developed nations. The Better Than Cash Alliance also boasts of participation by the World Food Programme, Mercy Corps, Concern Worldwide, and CARE. The governments listed as taking part in the alliance are the governments of Afghanistan, Department of Social Prosperity of the Government of Colombia,Republic of Kenya, Republic of Peru, and Republic of the Philippines. Yet, even without the establishment of the Better Than Cash Alliance or the recent comments by Bill Gates, it is very clear that the world is moving in the direction of an entirely cashless society. Two sentences which Bill Gates will eternally regret uttering areThe world today has 6.8 billion people thats headed up to about 9 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. As Turbeville writes in his article, Bill Gates Says Global Vaccination Program is Gods Work, Even more concerning is the fact that paralysis rates have flourished in countries where Gates polio vaccine, the one he is dedicating his life to, have been administered the most. Indeed, nowhere is this any more apparent than in India. As Aaron Dykes writes, But the real story is that while polio has statistically disappeared from India, there has been a huge spike in cases of non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP) the very types of crippling problems it was hoped would disappear with polio but which have instead flourished from a new cause. There were 47,500 cases of non-polio paralysis reported in 2011, the same year India was declared polio-free, according to Dr. Vashisht and Dr. Puliyel. Further, the available data shows that the incidents tracked back to areas were doses of the polio vaccine were frequently administered. The national rate of NPAFP in India is 25-35 times the international average. In addition to this data, it appears that the polio vaccines are themselves the leading cause of polio paralysis in India. In relation to the flawed data reported by the Polio Global Eradication Initiative which attempts to minimize the numbers of both vaccine-induced cases of polio paralysis and polio in general, Sayer Ji remarks, According to the Polio Global Eradication Initiatives own statistics there were 42 cases of wild-type polio (WPV) reported in India in 2010, indicating that vaccine-induced cases of polio paralysis (100-180 annually) outnumber wild-type cases by a factor of 3-4. Even if we put aside the important question of whether or not the PGEI is accurately differentiating between wild and vaccine-associated polio cases in their statistics, we still must ask ourselves: should not the real-world effects of immunization, both good and bad, be included in PGEIs measurement of success? For the dozens of Indian children who develop vaccine-induced paralysis every year, the PGEIs recent declaration of India as nearing polio free status, is not only disingenuous, but could be considered an attempt to minimize their obvious liability in having transformed polio from a natural disease vector into a man-made (iatrogenic) one. Gates polio vaccines have likewise been blamed for deaths and disabilities in neighboring Pakistan, with offices of the government in that country even recommending that the vaccines be suspended. In India, doctors heavily criticized the program not only for the heavy cost to human health and quality of life but also the massive financial burden hoisted upon the state. This is because the program was only partially funded by the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations, which is itself partnered with the World Health Organization, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, World Bank, and United Nations. The doctors criticized the GAVI-alliance by stating, The Indian government finally had to fund this hugely expensive programme, which cost the country 100 times more than the value of the initial grant, their report stated. From Indias perspective the exercise has been an extremely costly both in terms of human suffering and in monetary terms. It is tempting to speculate what could have been achieved if the $2.5 billion spent on attempting to eradicate polio, were spent on water and sanitation and routine immunization. . . . . . the polio eradication programme epitomizes nearly everything that is wrong with donor funded disease specific vertical projects at the cost of investments in community-oriented primary health care (horizontal programmes) . . . . . . . . . .This is a startling reminder of how initial funding and grants from abroad distort local priorities. Indeed, as the doctors assert, one cannot vaccinate away disease like polio. Apart from the fact that there has never been a study conducted which proves a vaccine either safe or effective that was not connected to a drug company or a vaccine maker,[1] the so-called cure, if it comes under the guise of a vaccine, may well be as bad if not worse than the disease itself. Again, Sayer Ji writes, Polio underscores the need for a change in the way we look at so-called vaccine preventable diseases as a whole. In most people with a healthy immune system, a poliovirus infection does not even generate symptoms. Only rarely does the infection produce minor symptoms, e.g. sore throat, fever, gastrointestinal disturbances, and influenza-like illness. In only 3% of infections does virus gain entry to the central nervous system, and then, in only 1-5 in 1000 cases does the infection progress to paralytic disease. Due to the fact that polio spreads through the fecal-oral route (i.e. the virus is transmitted from the stool of an infected person to the mouth of another person through a contaminated object, e.g. utensil) focusing on hygiene, sanitation and proper nutrition (to support innate immunity) is a logical way to prevent transmission in the first place, as well as reducing morbidity associated with an infection when it does occur. Instead, a large portion of the worlds vaccines are given to the Third World as charity, when the underlying conditions of economic impoverishment, poor nutrition, chemical exposures, and socio-political unrest are never addressed. The fact is that the root cause of diseases like polio are not a lack of vaccination but poor sanitation standards, poverty, lower living standards, chemical pollution, and lack of proper nutrition. If money were spent correcting these ills, as opposed to providing ineffective (in their stated purposes) and dangerous vaccinations, then polio and many other such diseases could indeed be eradicated. In the end, the answer is about raising living standards, reducing pollution, increasing knowledge and access to proper nutrition and clean drinking water not chemical and virus-laden needles. Perhaps this method could be more accurately described as Gods work. Okay, so this one is just more funny than anything else. In 2013, Bill Gates announced a $100,000 reward offered by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation via The Grand Challenges and Global Health program to anyone who would be able to create a condom that would be easier to wear, more cleverly packaged or one that would be able to overcome cultural differences. Its hard to argue against the creation of a better prophylactic, but considering Gates history we know that he is focused on more than preventing births than protecting sexually active adults from diseases. In 2010, it was revealed that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was joining with notorious big agri companies Monsanto and Cargill for the purposes of promoting genetically modified foods in Africa. Gates has long supported GMOs across the world but in 2010, his direct connection to their production and promotion with the Foundations purchase of 500,000 shares of Monsanto stock. With Cargill, the foundation teamed up for a $10 million dollar project to quote develop the soya value chain in Mozambique and in other countries. For this one, the title is certainly funny, but the goal is not. Earlier this year, Bill Gates via the Gates Foundation launched yet another philanthropic program to bring clean water to the hundreds of millions of people who live without it. His idea was the Omniprocessor a giant machine that can turn human waste into clean drinking water in minutes. Of course, many might wonder why Gates did not promote a giant machine that simply treated the water that was there or developed a relatively simple concept into a technology that removed salt from water in the coastal areas. After all, sea levels are rising, right? Instead, Gates development focuses on producing clean drinking water through feces and urine. Is it impressive science? Sure. But its also a colossal waste of time and money considering the large number of other simpler and more affordable options available. This writer sincerely wishes that people would see beyond the science-gleam and discern what this action means symbolically toward you, the reader. This writer holds the readers in the highest esteem and wants them to as well the world deserves much better than the psychopathic and depopulation actions of Bill Gates et al.

He practiced law until 1998, primarily with the law firm which he co-founded as Shidler King in 1964, later known as Preston Gates Ellis LLP; the firm was merged into the firm now known asKL Gates, although Bill Gates, Sr. is not affiliated with the firm. Gates also served on the board of Planned Parenthood.[4][5] In 1998, Gates retired from PGE. He currently serves on the Board of Regents for the University of Washington, and is a co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which his son Bill and his sons wife Melinda founded. He has served as a director for Costco Wholesale, a bulk retail corporation, since 2003. He is also a founding co-chair of the Pacific Health Summit.[6] He has adopted the suffix Sr. to distinguish himself from his more famous son. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_H._Gates,_Sr. One can only hope he doesnt see 61!

2	What Michelle Obama Was Just Caught Doing Will Make You Absolutely FURIOUS It is no surprise that Michelle Obama is once again off on a lavish luxury vacation at the expense of American taxpayers. This time, shes sightseeing in Europe, visiting cultural sites in Venice and Italy. Michelle is in Italy to represent her Let Girls Learn initiative and to push her Lets Move! agenda at the Milan Expo 2015. However, it seems her business is just an excuse to travel and see the world. After all, are her programs really successful enough to take international? In fact, after Michelle wraps her involvement in the expo, shes set to rack up hotel costs of more than $125,000. That seems to be the norm for the First Lady, who spent $8,400 a night in China on a trip with her daughters. Combined, the Obamas have spent $15.9 million on trips using Air Force One. What do you think? Are you ready for the Obamas to be out of the White House once and for all? 
1	With election day looming, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney tried one last time Monday to cut into Barack Obamas large lead among Latino voters by putting on an elaborate quinceaera celebration for his wife, Ann. Today, Ann became a woman, said Romney, who mentioned that he helped Ann choose the gorgeous, jeweled white-and-yellow dress she wore as she danced a traditional waltz for an audience assembled in the basement of the Spanish Church of God. From the cutting of the cake, to the 15-candle ceremony, to the changing of the shoes that symbolized her changing from girlhood to womanhood, this was Anns very own special day. We are all so proud of her. Sources also confirmed the customary gift-giving reception following the quinceaera garnered several hundred thousand dollars in donations for the Romney campaign.

The burglar is always watching and waiting, and he wont stop until he gets me, a visibly tense Pistorius reportedly whispered from behind the defendants table, his eyes darting all around as he scanned the courtroom for the unnamed intruder who has not been seen since allegedly breaking into Pistorius home the night the paraplegic track and field star shot and killed Reeva Steenkamp. Im telling you, he could be here right now, and all he wants to do is steal from me. Ill never be safe, never. Not unlessnot unless I get to him first. At press time, Pistorius was frantically reaching for the bailiffs pistol after having spotted dozens of burglars sitting in the courtroom gallery. 
2	11Recently, Matthew from Raleigh, North Carolina, encountered a despicable situation at his liberal school. What was it for? Being a proud supporter of Donald Trump. In an interview with Rush Limbaugh, Matthew fully explains the situation: RUSH: Matthew in Raleigh, North Carolina. We have an 11-year-old on the phone. Matthew, its great to have you with us. How are you this afternoon? MATTHEW: Oh, hello, Mr. Rush, Mr. Limbaugh. Im here to tell you Im 11 years old, and I go to an extremely liberal private school in Raleigh, North Carolina. MATTHEW: No, I mean, like No, its terrible. So Im being targeted MATTHEW: Im a huge Trump supporter, and Im very outward about it. I like how hes going to close the borders. I like how hes gonna obliterate ISIS. Well, a few days ago people are still charging me the teacher wrote on the board, Beside Martin Luther King, who are some visionaries who are in the world? People wrote down Abraham Lincoln. People wrote down Rosa Parks. People wrote down Pope Francis. And I wrote down Donald Trump. And the next day, the teacher pulled me over and said, Erase that comment! And I was like, Why? And shes like, What good has he done for this world? Im like, Well, hes created his businesses, and hes built magnificent buildings in many countries in the world, and hes actually running for president while hes actually stating his ideas. And I was And she made me erase it. Im thinking like, Wait, why is? I thought I had freedom of speech. I mean, an anchor baby gets citizenship. Why dont I? I kind of got mad after that. And people are targeting me, theyre saying, Donald Trumps sucks and you do too, and I really dont know what to do. RUSH: (chuckles) Matthew, part of me is saying, Join the club. (laughing and clapping) Join the club. This is absolutely ridiculous, and downright unacceptable. What we will say is that Matthew is an exceptionally smart kid, and no matter the adversity he faces in life, he will make it. Do you think this teacher should be punished for the way she handled the situation?

We also examine the recent bombing in Suruc and signs that it was a false flag provocation. Its amazing the psychopaths in nato and the us can read from the same broken playbook over and over and the american people can figure it out. It is my opinion that the average american has been conditioned to be a complete idiot. Soon, the oppressors will turn on the american people for their cowardice alone. Acting like a doormat only brings about boots on your face. Just remember this america, you can cower in fear to avoid the bullies for now, but when they run out of victims they will come for YOU.

2	Howard Stern Finally Comes Forward, Shocks The Nation With The Truth About Trump Tapes It has been a tough month for Donald Trump on the campaign trail. He has an uphill battle to win over women after a video of him making lewd comments with Billy Bush surfaced this month. That release was followed by the release of many other clips with similar comments. Many of these clips stemmed from interviews on the Howard Stern Show. Now, the public is pressuring Stern to replay all of his interviews with the billionaire businessman. Fortunately, Stern is not having any of it. In fact, he recently spoke out against the mainstream media for digging up the old quotes in the first place. He believes Trumps comments were well within the shows normal fare. These conversations that I had with Donald Trump werent done in private like the Billy Bush tapes, Stern said during his show on Monday. This was on the radio. Why dont I play all the tapes? I have to tell you whyI feel Donald Trump did the show in an effort to be entertaining and have fun with us, and I feel like it would be a betrayal to any of our guests if I sat there and played them now where people are attacking him. I fully knew what I was doing when I interviewed Trump, Stern continued. I knew I had a guy who loved to talk about sex. I had a guy who loved to evaluate women on a scale of 1 to 10. These are avenues I went down because I knew it would entertain the audience. Quite frankly, as someone just said, Im surprised they didnt find these earlier, Stern concluded. Theres nothing to find. As the guy said, they were right there in the open. What do you think? Do you agree with Sterns response? We applaud him for not giving into the pressure of the liberal media.

If the trigger is pressed nothing happens unless the shot is correctly lined up. This assures a hit as it prevents firing in error if the range is incorrect. It also eliminates trigger jerk. The scope has a built in Linux computer that compensates for up to 16 variables such as temperature, spin, drift and wind speed. According to the companybehind the scopes TrackingPoint of Austin, Texas the scope improves accuracy by a factor of five up to distances of 1,200 yards. The laser range finder allows the shooter to retag the target rather than having to fire a second time alerting the target to the shooters presence. From the DARPA website: Finally, just to throw something different into the mix, Sandia National Laboratories, owned by Lockheed Martin, is developing self-guiding bullets.They steer using tiny fins, allowing them to adjust their course to hit moving, pre-designated targets. We are getting to the point where if someone from the government wants to shoot you, there really is little chance of escape.

3	Torturer Lawsuits: Some Good NewsStephen Lendman, Contributor Two lawsuits against private military contractors (PMCs) offer encouragement. Both were brought under the Alien Tort Statute (ATS). The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) filed them on behalf of tortured and abused plaintiffs. They were held at Iraqs notorious Abu Ghraib prison. America mistreats everyone held there. Its official policy in all US torture prisons. A confidential settlement resolved Al-Quraishi v. L-3 Services, Inc. CCR sued L-3 Services, Inc. (formerly Titan Corp.) and Adel Nakhla, it former employee. It was brought on behalf of 72 Iraqi plaintiffs. They charged torture, war crimes, and other forms of abuse. On July 29, 2010, Judge Peter Messittee denied Defendants motions to dismiss. On September 21, 2011, a Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals three-member panel reversed the district court and dismissed the case. On October 5, 2011, plaintiffs petitioned for rehearing en banc (the full court). On November 8, the Fourth Circuit granted a rehearing. On November 23, L-3 filed its brief. On December 10, plaintiffs filed their own. On December 19 and 20, amicus briefs supported them. On January 27, 2012, oral arguments were heard. On May 11, the Court dismissed L-3s appeal. It remanded the case to the district court for rehearing. On October 10, a confidential settlement was reached. CCR charged defendants with torture; cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment; war crimes; assault and battery; sexual assault and battery; intentional infliction of emotional distress; negligent hiring and supervision; and negligent infliction of emotional distress. Other counts included civil conspiracy, as well as aiding and abetting it. Plaintiffs sought compensatory and punitive damages. Acts they were subjected to included: rape and threats of rape and other forms of sexual assault; electric shocks; repeated beatings, including beatings with chains, boots and other objects; prolonged hanging from limbs; forced nudity; hooding; isolated detention; being urinated on and otherwise humiliated; and being prevented from praying and otherwise abiding by their religious practices. Plaintiff Wissam Abdullateef Saeed Al-Quraishi was hung on a pole for seven days. He was also subjected to beatings, forced nudity, electric shocks, humiliating treatment, mock executions, and other forms of torture and abuse. For over 10 months, plaintiff Mr. Al-Janabi was tortured and abused repeatedly. Treatment included having his eyes almost clawed out, being stripped naked and threatened with rape, being hung upside down until he lost consciousness, and being deprived of sleep for extended periods of time. He and other plaintiffs were released uncharged. CCR represented four other plaintiffs in Al Shimari v. CACI. They charged torture, abuse, and other illegal treatment at Abu Ghraib. On March 18, 2009, CACIs motion to dismiss in part was denied. On September 21, a Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals three-judge panel reversed the district court and dismissed the case. On October 5, plaintiffs petitioned for an en banc rehearing. On November 8, Fourth Circuit judges ordered it. On November 29, CACI filed its brief. On December 19, plaintiffs filed their own. On December 20, amicus briefs supported them. On May 11, 2012, the Fourth Circuit ruled for plaintiffs. They remanded their case to the district court for rehearing. On October 11, plaintiffs petitioned to reinstate Alien Tort Statute claims. On November 1, their motion was heard. Initially, plaintiffs sued L-3 Services, CACI, and its former employee, Timothy Dugan. Both companies conducted interrogation and translation services at Abu Ghraib and other Iraq torture prisons. L-3 Services and Dugan no longer are defendants. Charges claim CACI directed and participated in illegal conduct, including torture, at Abu Ghraib. CCR filed suit under ATS provisions. Plaintiffs charged: torture; cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment; war crimes; assault and battery; sexual assault and battery; intentional infliction of emotional distress; negligent hiring and supervision; and negligent infliction of emotional distress. Other counts included civil conspiracy, as well as aiding and abetting it. Plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages. They were subjected to: electric shocks; repeated brutal beatings; sleep deprivation; sensory deprivation; forced nudity; stress positions; sexual assault; mock executions; humiliation; hooding; isolated detention; and prolonged hanging from the limbs. Plaintiffs are innocent Iraqi civilians. They were released uncharged. They still suffer from physical injuries and mental trauma. They demand redress. Suhail Najim Abdullah Al Shimari was detained from 2003 until 2008. He endured electric shocks, food deprivation, threats by dogs, and nudity while forced to engage in physical activities to the point of exhaustion. Taha Yaseen Arraq Rashid was detained from 2003 until 2005. He was tortured, humiliated, deprived of oxygen, food, and water, tasered in the head, and severely beaten. Broken limbs and vision loss resulted. Cuffed and shackled to cell bars, he was forcibly subjected to sexual acts by a female. He was also forced to witness a female prisoners rape. Saad Hamza Hantoosh Al-Zubae was imprisoned from 2003 2004. He endured extremely hot and cold water, beating his genitals with a stick, and detaining him in a solitary cell under conditions of sensory deprivation for almost a full year. Salah Hasan Nusaif Jasim Al-Ejaili was detained for about four months. He was stripped, kept naked, threatened with dogs, deprived of food, beaten, and kept him isolated under sensory deprivation conditions. Previous articles discussed private military contractors (PMCs). Theyre used tactically as combatants, for training, advice, personal security, technical expertise, intelligence gathering, weapons systems management, transportation, and other non-combatant services. Those performing security functions are hired gun paramilitaries. Theyre unprincipled for a buck. Most often, theyre unaccountable under international and domestic laws. Theyre licensed to torture, abuse, and kill with impunity. Exceptions prove the rule. Abuses are widespread. Prosecutions rarely follow. Instead of restoring order, maintaining peace and security, upholding rule of law principles, facilitating reconstruction and development, providing essential needs, they terrorize populations with impunity. They operate in dozens of countries. Nearly always, torture, abuse of all kinds, rape, human trafficking, and other crimes go unpunished. Companies like Blackwater (now Academi), DynCorp, CACI, L-3 Services, and others dont show up with olive branches. They come to rape, torture, abuse and kill with impunity and be well-paid for it. Since the 1990s, hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent outsourcing services military personnel used to perform at far lower cost. Favored companies get no-bid contracts. Oversight is virtually nonexistent. Instead of stopping bad practices, they proliferate. Media scoundrels suppress the worst of what goes on. A culture of impunity combines profiteering with out-of-control criminality. CCRs work provides a tiny ray of hope. Its mostly lost in an ocean of malfeasance of the worst kinds.

3	Anarchist Intuition: A Libertarian Political PhilosophyBy Steve Patterson Better than the enslaving nwo slime. I find it useful to consider the variable range of statism to anarchism as not always associated with specific economic systems, but rather an expression of the centralization or decentralization of power, and as a variable paired with an economic collectivism/ individualism polarity. So while Libertarians (upper case) will fall within the same graphic quadrant in this conceptualization as anarcho-capitalists, anarcho-syndicalists and libertarian (lower case) socialists pursue a collectivized economy with decentralized governance. Bottom line: Anarchists can range from capitalist to socialist, but have in common the rejection of the imposition of authority through government. 
3	Western Kentucky University Students Under the Watchful Eye of High-Tech Surveillance SystemNicholas West Students are already under the gaze of over 300 security cameras, but campus IT professionals apparently are having a difficult time centralizing the information they are receiving. As part of a new strategy, they will be implementing Milestone Systems IP video management software. WKUs 250+ cameras qualify it for Milestones military-grade XProtect Corporate software. As reported by Government Security News, this will give management the ability to perform most management tasks from a central location, making it possible for a small team with limited resources to maintain such a large deployment with ease. According to the video demo below it also allows for flexibility in recording and archiving video footage for specified lengths of time. Perhaps most telling in the rather dry video is the military language used. Schools become installations; systems can be deployed; all while providing increased situational awareness. Also mentioned is the identification of suspicious activity, which has now become much more ominous upon the FBIs release of guides for behavior that can put you on a terror watch list. In addition to University Campus Watch citizen spy programs, which encourage a snitch culture in private and public partnerships with federal fusion centers around the country, the physical surveillance grid continues its expansion into every facet of American life. It is nothing short of prisoner training, as the next generation is exposed to ever-greater levels of observation and control. If you are a college student, or work at a college, and are aware of similar video surveillance at your school, please add your comments below, or contact us at activistpost (at) gmail.com. 
3	Mind Control Achieved Through the Information Flicker EffectBy Jon Rappoport No, Im not talking about the flicker of the television picture. Im talking about an on-off switch that controls information conveyed to the television audience. The Sandy Hook school murders provide an example. First of all, elite media coverage of this tragedy has one goal: to provide an expanding narrative of what happened. Its a story. It has a plot. In order to tell the story, there has to be a source of information. The topflight television anchors are getting their information fromwhere? Their junior reporters? Not really. Ultimately, the information is coming from the police, and secondarily from local officials. In other words, very little actual journalism is happening. The media anchors are absorbing, arranging, and broadcasting details given to them by the police investigators. The anchors are PR people for the cops. The law-enforcement agencies investigating the Sandy Hook shootings on the scene, in real time, were following up on leads? We dont know what leads they were following and what leads they were discarding. We dont know what mistakes they were making. We dont know what evidence they were overlooking or intentionally ignoring. The police were periodically giving out information to the media. The anchors were relaying this information to the audience. So when the police privately tell reporters, We chased a suspect into the woods above the school, that becomes a television fact. Until it isnt a fact any longer. The police, for whatever reason, decide to drop the whole suspect in the woods angle. Therefore, the media anchors no longer mention it. Instead the police are focused on Adam Lanza, who is found dead in the school. So are the television anchors, who no longer refer to the suspect in the woods. That old thread has gone down the memory hole. What does this do to the audience who has been following the narrative on television? It sets up a flicker effect. An hour ago, it was suspect in the woods. Now, that bit of data is gone. On-off switch. It was on, now its off. This is a break in logic. It makes no sense. Which is the whole point. The viewer thinks: Lets see. There was a suspect in the woods. The cops were chasing him. Now he doesnt exist. We dont know his name. We dont know why hes off the radar. We dont know whether he was arrested. We dont know if he was questioned. Okay, I guess Ill have to forget all about him. Ill just track what the anchor is telling me. Hes telling the story. I have to follow his story. This was only one flicker. Others occur. The father of Adams brother was found dead. No, thats gone now. The mother of Adam was found dead. Okay. Adam killed all these children with two pistols. No, thats gone now. He used a rifle. It was a Bushmaster. No, it was a Sig Sauer. One weapon was found in the trunk of a car. No, three weapons. At each succeeding point, a fact previously reported is jettisoned and forgotten, to be replaced with a new fact. The television viewer has to forget, along with the television anchor. The viewer wants to follow the developing narrative, so he has to forget. He has no choice if he wants to stay in the loop. But this flicker effect does something to the viewers mind. His mind is no longer alert. Its not generating questions. Logic has been offloaded. Obvious questions and doubts are shelved. How could they think it was the dead father in New Jersey when it was actually the dead mother in Connecticut? Why did they say he used two handguns when it was a rifle? Or was it really a rifle? I heard a boy on camera say there was another man the cops caught and they had him proned out on the ground in front of the school. What happened to him? Where did he go? Why isnt the anchor keeping track of him? All these obvious and reasonable questions (and many others) have to be scratched and forgotten, because the television story is moving into different territory, and the viewer wants to follow the story. This constant flicker effect eventually produces, in the television viewerpassivity. He surrenders to the ongoing narrative. Surrenders. This is mind control. The television anchor doesnt have a problem. His job is to move seamlessly, through an ever-increasing series of contradictions and discarded details, to keep the narrative going, to keep it credible. He knows how to do that. Thats why he is the anchor. He can make it seem as if the story is a growing discovery of what really happened, even though his narrative is littered with abandoned clues and dead-ends and senseless non-sequiturs. And the viewer pays the price. Mired in passive acceptance of whatever the anchor is telling him, the viewer assumes his own grasp on logic and basic judgment is flawed. Now, understand that this viewer has been watching television news for years. Hes watched many of these breaking events. The cumulative effect is devastating. The possibility, for example, that Adam Lanza wasnt the shooter, but was the patsy, is as remote to the viewer as a circus of ants doing Shakespeare on Mars. The possibility that the cops hid evidence and were ordered to release other suspects is unthinkable. Considering that there appears to be not one angry outraged parent in Newtown (because the network producers wouldnt permit such a parent to be interviewed on camera) never occurs to the viewer. Wondering why the doctor of Adam Lanza hasnt been found and quizzed about the drugs he prescribed isnt in the mind of the viewer. The information flicker effect is powerful. It sweeps away independent thought and measured contemplation. It certainly rules out the possibility of imagining the murders in an alternative narrative. Because there is only one narrative. It is delivered by Brian Williams and Scott Pelley and Diane Sawyer. Interesting how they never disagree. Never, in one of these horrendous events do the three kings and queens of television news end up with different versions of what happened. What are the odds of that, if the three people are rational and inquisitive? But these three anchors are not rational or inquisitive. They are synthetic creations of the machine that runs them. They flicker yes and they flicker no. They edit and cut and discard and tailor as they go along. Yes, no, yes, no. On, off, on, off. And the viewers follow, in a state of hypnosis. Why? Because the viewers are addicted to STORY. They are as solidly addicted as a junkie looking for his next fix. Tell me a story. I want a story. That was a good story, but now Im bored. Tell me another story. Please? I need another story. Im listening. Im watching. Tell me a story. And the anchors oblige. They deal the drug. But to get the drug, the audience has to surrender everything they question. They have to submit to the flicker effect and go under. Actually, surrendering to the flicker effect deepens the addiction. And the drug deal is consummated. Welcome to television coverage. Finally, while under hypnosis, the viewing audience is treated to a segue (transition) that leads tothe guns. Something has to be done about the guns. The mind-control operation that brought the passive audience to this point takes them to the next moment of surrender, as if it were part of the same overall Sandy Hook story: Give up the guns. In their entrained and tranced state of mind, viewers dont ask why law-enforcement agencies are so massively armed to do police work in America, why those agencies have ordered well over a billion rounds of ammunition in the last six months, why every day the invasive surveillance of the population moves in deeper and deeper. Viewers, in their trance, simply assume government is benevolent and should be weaponized to the teeth, because those viewers also assume the television anchors are government allies and spokespeople, and arent those anchors good and kind and thoughtful and intelligent and honorable? Therefore, isnt the government also kind and honorable? In case you think the public is too stupid to emerge from its trance, and would never be able to follow a line of rational discourse, if by some miracle television anchors presented one, I disagree. During my investigation of the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing, I encountered several local citizens who were exceedingly awake, alert, and helpful. Again and again over the years, I have had help from private citizens in my research. This is why Ive always supported the idea of citizen grand juries, convened to investigate crimes in the area where they live. Tasked to discover the truth, wherever it leads, such people would suddenly display surprising skills. Opportunity is all that is necessary. The media put people under, flick the on-off switches that short-circuit logic. The media practice hypnosis. The media work for surrender of the mind. The media present boggling absurdities that put the mind to sleep. The media appoint themselves as the final authorities. This is perverse theater. Thats all it is.

All this obfuscation is directed by the various narratives, in order to confuse the general public and therefore will only speak minimally, since some think differently and yet they should speak up, at least to one another. Videodrome here is the funny thing about all this, as lost as the viewers might be, how lost those doing it are? since in the end the same rules apply to them, wich leaves two possibilities either they are way off or they are just stupid and also believe like the target audience that this doesnt apply to them since they are part of wherever cult does this, in the end you cant fight reality. 
2	We MUST STOP CAIR From Doing THIS To Our Veterans While Obama is too busy defending the integrity of Islam, Muslims have started terrorizing out Veterans. According to recent reports, Hamas-CAIR, and Islamic hate group is threatening our veterans with the idea of floating in their parade. Yesterday, veterans gathered at the Richard L. Jones Jr. Airport to protest the float, and asking parade goers to turn their back on it when it passes. This is a clear shot at the men and women who have tirelessly defended our country and we wont stand for it. What do you think? Will you help our veterans get their message out? Is this absolutely unacceptable? 
3	Reversing The Edward Bernays EffectHow to end a century of lies and mass mind manipulation ushered in by one man America has been plagued by a powerful mind control tactic which was suggested, experimented with, and fully implemented over a century ago by a man namedEdward Bernays. The time has come for Americans to come to grips with the content and theories that Bernays used to influence American history. Its time to call out the legacy of deceit and manipulation that this man brought to American history; by doing this, only then can America begin to heal from the web of psychological damage inflicted on a nation. This tactic of psychological manipulation, control and deceit has spawned into a world-wide media propaganda practice (which he personally developed for the CIA) that has proven venomous and destructive, and that has been directly and indirectly responsible for the death of tens of millions of people in the past century alone. It was the deceptive Bernays who studied his uncles work (Sigmund Freud) on psychoanalysis and thought through his own theories about human behavior and how to manipulate the masses. When speaking of Bernays we are talking about a man who seemed unattached to human suffering. Bernays seems to have walked through life proud of what he had discovered. There seems to be no indication that he ever actually realized the magnitude of the damage he inflicted on humanity by putting into practice his deceptive mind control theories, to be used for promoting ideas that were not necessarily true and ideas that would be used to control humans. Bernays pride seemed to have come from knowing that his predictions about human behavior were correct. There are no indications that he felt any remorse for what he had done. Despite all of this, Bernays is respected and esteemed in a positive manner by Hollywood and constituents. He seemed to have walked through life under the radar of fame. He managed to manipulate the world, including showing politicians how to sell wars to the general public while millions of innocent people and troops from both sides of the world wars died in vain. Its time for America to come together to reverse the Edward Bernays effect. Lets do what we can to expose the deceptive public persuasion techniques he implemented and let the world know there is a manual on how to lie to the public and manipulate the masses into believing propaganda lies. As a nation we can begin to peel apart the lies and deception of Edward Bernays one by one and tell the public today what Bernays refused to tell them then. Three steps can be taken to trigger the reversal of the Edward Bernays effect: First step is to educate those we come in contact with about exactly who Edward Bernays was. It is important to note that he was the nephew of Sigmund Freud, the most popular and influential figure in the American psychology books and literature. Understanding who Bernays was will likely shed a very different light on how many perceive Sigmund Freud and his work. It will make you wonder if Freuds work would even be spoken about today had it not been for his nephew promoting his uncles work. Second step is to realize that although humans CAN be influenced by getting them to respond to unconscious primitive urges, that doesnt mean that we should be striving to do this. Just because something is possible doesnt mean we should seek to do it. It is possible to skin a cat alive, it is however, a crime and an immoral, heartless and psychopathic thing to do. Bernays was apparently so manipulative and self-absorbed he managed to stop humanity at the first level of logic which I call the Frankenstein experiment level; since it is possible, then lets do it and see how it works. In other words, Bernays agreed to be an instrument of deceit to destroy the lives of many just so he can observe the results and receive the glory of being the master manipulator or more officially the founding father of modern day public relations. By all standards, humanity recognizes that if someone does something that causes the death and destruction of millions, then that action should be punishable and recognized as an evil or immoral deed. No such case when dealing with a historic master manipulator; Bernays died with more blood on his hands than possibly anyone else in American history, yet he was never tried for his crimes against humanity or was ever in jail for what he did. Third, once you realize the damage implemented by Bernays lies and deceit it is up to you to work toward reversing these lies and deception. Lets tell the world that truth is not determined by a billboard, a cleverly timed mass media article, a TV commercial, a movie trailer or any stage that feeds information to the masses. Truth is not determined by how you FEEL about it or how the messenger delivers the message. We have feelings and those feeling have NOTHING to do with what is true. Lets admit that we are all vulnerable to manipulation by messages that are based on emotion and sensation. These emotions and sensations can be manipulated with sound and sight, music and emotional outbursts, powerful speeches and rhyming phrases. Lets equally realize that human intelligence, commonsense and reason is a special gift that though it doesnt serve government much, it serves YOU the individual very much. Edward Bernays could have just as easily studied how the people can manipulate governments or how everyday people can promote themselves to corporations to live dynamic and successful lives. Instead he chose the dark side and gave all his work to government and the process of controlling the masses in such a way that it gave controlling governments all the power to kill and destroy. Will you be someone perpetuating the Edward Bernays lies? Are you willing to look into this topic and see where this man pulled humanity and America in the wrong direction for over a century now? Think for a minute what this world would be like if we can pull together to reverse the evil etched into the consciousness of humanity by one man? I absolutely believe this reversal is possible and is already in progress. With every passing day more and more people are hearing and wondering a little more about just who this guy was and why do most American have no idea who he was. Moving on Enough of the dark theories which have plagued humanity for too long. Its time to move on from the basic lessons learned. Marketing and public relations are based on lies; all politics and politicians live and die by public relations, lies and carefully timed talking points and sequential messages. The government NEEDS the press and all of its marketing tools to deceive the public into believing what it wants the public to believe. This persuasion IS the matrix of lies and deceit we live in, and this system of cognitive persuasion authored by Bernays IS the very lifeline of the establishment government. To believe anything different is to believe in fantasies and conspiracies. The Edward Bernays work is a clear record of the cognitive manipulation of humanity. Dont ignore it, instead confront the reality of it and join humanity as we work to REVERSE this effect for good. Humanity is gifted with reason and highly intellectual cognitive skills that are far superior to the skills of other animals; yet even animals, many of which are incredibly resourceful, instinctual, intuitive and highly respectful of nature, wont do some of the things humans do. Will you allow the work of one man erase these incredible skills you are equipped with? Often people speak about waking up, elevating consciousness or going down the rabbit hole of truth and it may just be that these terms refer to simply reversing the Edward Bernays effect.

It is about Bernays and his PR, where he is speaking about the whole idea of PR, that he cannot call it propaganda anymore, because all his know how was use under this name by Goebbels, he pretty much describing that he just wanted to use the herd and his daughter is confirming, that he and the ones who employed him were thinking about other people as idiots. For me it is 100% evil. When the bullet whizzes by ones head all thoughts of gratuitous advertisements and gratuitous PC etiquette go right out the windows and fight or flight is ones only focus. Politicians should take note of the Constitution. The physical thermodynamic laws of entropy which rule life on our world, the Earth Wind Water and Fire all start with the Sun in our local solar system, I find it incredulous that the Climate Change debate attributes any meaningful force to Co2, a byproduct of life, to that of controlling or destroying our world COMPARED to the unimaginable levels of energys and particles accelerated our way by the SUN every second. I find that when people lack a basic understanding of mathematics and the physical sciences they are easier to lead into cults of faith based on Fear uncertainty and doubt. Equally there is much evidence that sociopath behavior of some leaders in the so called climate Science reinforces their preconceived ideas of overpopulation and resource use to the detriment of ordinary individuals. Nature has a way of exposing the truth. I close my eyes and the bizarro world goes away. 
1	Melissa Williams, editor-in-chief of Urbis magazine, launched a long-anticipated redesign of herself Friday. 'I made a conscious decision to look more open and less dense without losing that smart edge that people have come to expect,' said Williams, who claimed the new design's smaller size, bolder colors, and smoother lines will give her a broader appeal across upper demographics. 'The old look worked well for a long time, but even I had to admit that it was starting to get a little tired.' Early feedback has been generally positive, but critics of Williams' new style and format have called her 'distracting for all the wrong reasons,' 'far too busy,' and 'as hard to read as ever.'

3	The ObamaFlowers Spoof: A Parody on the Affordable Care ActCatherine J. Frompovich For those who dont understand what bugs people about ObamaCare, maybe substituting flowers, which everyone likes, can get the point across. What flowers would you order? Personally, Id prefer a baby orchid plant and not cut flowers, which will die off within a week or so. Id like to have live flowers around longer. What happened to choice? Obama Flowers Receptionist: Hello, Welcome to ObamaFlowers, My name is Trina. How can I help you? Customer: Hello. I received an email from Professional Flowers stating that my flower order has been canceled and I should go to your exchange to reorder it. I tried your website, but it seems like it is not working. So I am calling the 800 number. Receptionist: Yes! I am sorry about the website. It should be fixed by the end of November. But I can help you. Customer: Thanks, I ordered a Spring Bouquet for our anniversary, and wanted it delivered to my wife. Receptionist: Interrupting, Sir, Spring Bouquets do not meet our minimum standards; I will be happy to provide you with Red Roses. Customer: But I have always ordered Spring Bouquets, done it for years, my wife likes them. Customer: Well, how much are they? Receptionist: It depends sir, do you want our Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum package. Customer: Whats the difference? Receptionist: 6, 12, 18 or 24 Red Roses. Customer: The Silver package may be okay, how much is it? Receptionist: It depends sir, what is your monthly income? Customer: What does that have to do with anything? Receptionist: I need that to determine your government flower subsidy, then I can determine how much your out-of-pocket cost will be. But if your income is below our minimums for a subsidy, then I can refer you to our FlowerAid department. Customer: FlowerAid? Receptionist: Yes, Flowers are a right. Everyone has a right to flowers. So, if you cant afford them, then the government will supply them free of charge. Customer: Who said they were a right? Receptionist: Congress passed it, the President signed it and the Supreme Court found it constitutional. Customer: Whoa! I dont remember seeing anything in the Constitution regarding flowers as a right. Receptionist: It is not really a Right in the Constitution, but ObamaFlowers is Constitutional because the Supreme Court Ruled it a Tax. Taxes are Constitutional. But we feel it is a right. Customer: I dont believe this. Receptionist: Its the law of the land sir. Now, we anticipated most people would go for the Silver Package, so what is you monthly income sir? Customer: Forget it, I think I will forgo the flowers this year. Receptionist: In that case sir, I will still need your monthly income. Customer: Why? Receptionist: To determine what your non-participation cost would be. Customer: WHAT? You cant charge me for NOT buying flowers! Receptionist: Its the law of the land, sir, approved by the Supreme Court. Its $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income. Customer interrupting: This is ridiculous, Ill pay the $9.50. Receptionist: Sir, it is $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income, whichever is greater. Customer: ARE YOU KIDDING ME? What a rip-off! Receptionist: Actually sir, it is a good deal. Next year it will be 2%. Customer: Look, Im going to call my Congressman to find out whats going on here. This is ridiculous. Im not going to pay it. Receptionist: Sorry to hear that sir. Thats why I had the NSA track this call and obtain the make and model of the cell phone you are using. Customer: Why does the NSA need to know what kind of CELL PHONE I AM USING? Receptionist: So they get your GPS coordinates sir. Door Bell rings followed immediately by a loud knock on the door Receptionist: That would be the IRS sir. Thanks for calling ObamaFlowers. Have a nice day and God Bless America _________ To the author of Obama Flowers, thanks for giving another perspective on a government program that seems to be more problematic, costly, and invasive to initiate and maintain than it may be worth.

3	After Being Named Terrorists, Syrian Al Qaeda Group Says America Still Helps, But Not EnoughBy Baran Hines Al Nusra, commonly known as Syrias branch of Al Qaeda, was declared a terrorist group by the US, United Nations and others in November 2012 after 1 year of terrorist operations. Before this terrorist designation, al-Nusra was supported by the United States as part of what American officials called the legitimate opposition groups fighting against the government of President Bashar al-Assad. Abu al-Ezz specifically mentioned the group receives money from US allies including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait. Al-Ezz also said Israel supports al-Nusra because Israel is at war with Syria and Hezbollah. Al-Ezz then noted that al-Nusra and Islamic State (IS) were allies but IS was then used for political and strategic purposes by western countries. It became clear to us that most of their leaders work with secret security services, said al-Ezz. Similar suspicions are also widely believed in Iraq as reported last year by the Wall Street Journal. The rise of al-Nusra and Islamic State was a consequence predicted by a 2012 intelligence report leaked to the media in 2015. When asked how the US supports al-Nusra, al-Ezz first said it was indirect because it was through the support of US allies Saudi Arabia and Qatar in the form of cash payments, weapons, and supplies. However, he then confirmed that al-Nusra received American-made TOW missiles directly from Western intelligence officials including Turkey, Israel, and the United States. It is through the American TOW that we have the situation in some regions under control, al-Ezz noted. He then said this is not enough, and that more advanced weaponry is needed. We will fight until the downfall of the regime. We will fight Russia and the West because the West does not stand on our side. The West only sends us mujahedin, it facilitates the way of those fighters. Why doesnt the West support us properly? We have many fighters from Germany, France, Great Britain, America, from all western countries, al-Ezz said. The Syrian war ceasefire negotiated by the US and Russia is being ignored by some of the major opposition groups and those groups are allied with al-Nusra, according to al-Ezz. He also confirmed that the ceasefire has been used by the groups to recover and prepare for the remaining battles of the war. Click here to see the full interview translated in English or view.

Well it started in the 1980s when the US supported the Mahujadeen in Afghanistan has has not stopped since. Now its Russias fault that the ceasefire has broken down because it wont pull in Assads reigns. The fact that the US cant sort the moderates from the Terrorists is also Russias fault as the US is having difficulty themselves sorting out since they cant identify who they arm and who they dont. Its a big job and Russia is not helping even though the moderates had 350 ceasefire allegations against and again the US has more difficulty because there are other players supporting the different groups. If you can see what I mean. Its Russias fault get it..

1	Washington Redskins head coach Jim Zorn held a press conference Sunday to reassure fans that, despite an inability to effectively execute their offense, defense, or special teams, the Redskins were still somewhat comparable to a real football team. 'It's been a tough season so far, and even though we are 2-4, we still have players, uniforms, Motorola headsetsall the components that technically constitute an NFL team, sort of,' Zorn said while grimacing and making a 'so-so' gesture with his hand. 'Sure, I was stripped of play-calling responsibilities by team management, and I really don't have any clue who will play quarterback for us this Sunday, but I swear to you, in a weird, very convoluted way, we are in the NFL.' Placing his hand over the microphone, Zorn then spoke briefly with an unidentified man near the stage, and announced that, for what it's worth, the organization owns the Internet domain name washingtonredskins.com through 2010. 
2	ABC On Edge With Tim Allen After He Takes Jokes too Far With Hillary Clinton On Live TV Tim Allen is known for bashing Obama and Hillary on his show, Last Man Standing, and this episode was no different. This time, Allen made a brutal attack on Hillary, and it certainly lived up to his standard. There are just so many things to attack Hillary for, it really isnt fair. Allen was asked about his views on Trump, and why the show targets Obama and Hillary almost exclusively. Its a little surprising to me, he said. We have a very liberal writing staff, so Im surprised they havent taken a shot at him. But were not sure hes going to last, whereas the Clintons are like herpes: Just when you think theyre gone, they show up again. Tim Allen then went on to answer a few more questions. What riles you up the most? Who scares you? We love Tim Allen and cant get enough of his jokes. Do you enjoy his attacks on Hillary?

2	Jesus Predicted The AntiChrists Name 2000 Years Ago You WIll Be Shocked When You Find Out A new video has gone viral after revealing something very shocking in the Bible. According to the video, Jesus Christ himself made a prediction regarding the antichrist more than 2,000 years ago. As hard as it is to believe, the footage shows that Jesus predicted that the name of the antichrist would be Baraq Bamah. Watch the video below to see investigators taking a closer look at the passage, and tell us what you think? Does this sound suspiciously close to Barack Obama?

Your take on things is very refreshing. An exponential juggernaut of lethal proportions now fulminating into real existential time in the United Police States of an eviscerated former USA Only a GIFT ECONOMY can heal our world gone mad : Communism does not work in practice. In communism as well in capitalism, one has to work for to pay a glas of water, a fruit, a shelter there is no difference in robbing basic HUMAN RIGHTS on FREE water, FREE food, FREE shelter that are given with the Birthrigh to be here on this abundante planet where you can get water out of air even in the desert. In every plant there is ilimitet capacaty of reproduction. Keep spreading truth Here is the most precious FREE GIFT for your kidness : the secret for perfect health and extraordinary longevity ! In three words : GO RAW VEGAN and heal all phisical, mental and even genetic disorders ! Communism is very different from gift economy, which has been used successfully for millennia in tribes in the Amazon and other places around the world. Do some research, you will learn about the amazing idea of gift economy. That is primitive Communism. I WANT OUT OF THE UK AND I WANT OUT NOW! I hate the UK so much that I would rather be stateless through disloyalty and be deported. I just want to be out of the UK Move to Germany. I dont know, Croco Dile. I just met a man yesterday who moved his family from Germany to the U.S. due to the immigration situation, which he called intolerable and getting worse fast. Even Germany is not perfect. Hahaha no, Im sure its not, but the situation there and in other parts of Europe at the moment is very unstable. Course Europe has had flexing cultural and religious wars for years so this is nothing new really. I didnt actually believe most of what I have read about all the discord and issues, until this man confirmed it. Its not an easy thing to do to move your entire family to a completely different country and culture unless you are doing it for adventure, to be with extended family, or an interesting opportunity or whatever. This man was quite sad but he was very happy to be in perfect Montana, LOL. It was an interesting and enlightening conversation. I dont feel it unstable and in any way threatening here. Hahaha did not realize you are talking about your home. Germany is truly a lovely country, I visited several times but that was years ago before the EU existed. At least we both have mountains, rivers and green valleys to keep us sane. The American people are now being conditioned by new bizarre levels of problem, solution, reaction by their sick and twisted overlords, but their apologetic and Stockholm syndrome response is worse than what is being perpetrated against them. I am with you and actively standing for my freedom butI am not like the herd. I didnt get the fear gene. They did so really, what can they do? How do you move sheeple past debilitating fear? moving to the usa would be ok. but we here hate clinton and hope she is not elected president as it would become the next socialist failed state like venezuela and greece. hilary and the democrats are nuts. im very proud of the britons whio chose to maintain their sovreignty. the EU is a union that wants to rule countries. 
2	BREAKING: Trump Makes Massive Announcement, Fans Are Shocked Before he even entered into the political arena, legendary businessman Donald Trump called for the building of a wall along our nations southern border to help protect our economy and keep us safe from those flooding into our country illegally. Not surprisingly, this has been one of the most contentious points of his campaign. Mexican officials have been quick to shoot down the idea, calling the wall impossible and unworkable. Still, Trump insists that it is going upand Mexico is going to pay for it. Trump finally addressed his plan of action in a memo sent to The Washington Post. In the writing, Trump proposed that he would threaten to change a rule under the USA Patriot Act anti-terrorism law to cut off a portion of the fund sent to Mexico through money transfers, commonly known as remittances. The threat would be withdrawn if Mexico made a one-time payment of $5-10 billion to pay for the border wall. Its an easy decision for Mexico, Trump concluded. Its been estimated that Mexican nationals living in the United States sent more than $25 billion back home in 2015 alone. That figure includes transfers from all over the world, not just the United States. Still, that money has become vital to Mexicos economyrivaling the revenue derived from oil and natural gas. Also listed in his proposal were tariffs, visa cancellations and increased border crossing fees. What do you think of Trumps proposal? Is it smart or far-fetched? 
1	Heeding warnings that a world-ending cataclysmic event will occur next Friday, local man Craig Massey, 26, who will be one of several thousand fatalities in 2023s Great Eastern Seaboard Flood, told reporters today he is fully prepared for the apocalypse he believes the ancient Mayans predicted. This is the big one, and Im not taking any chances, said Massey, who 11 years from now will drown in Hurricane Cindys thrashing storm surge as his house is demolished and all his possessions are washed away. The conclusion of the 13th baktun is upon us. I plan on being prepared. Displaying more concern for the dire predictions of numerologists than the warnings of modern scientists regarding the changes in climate that will eventually lead to his unceremonious death, Massey confirmed he has spent much of the year fortifying his basement to create a bunker capable of withstanding doomsday-level forces. I dont know how long I might have to stay down there, so Im getting plenty of the essentials: water, gas masks, nonperishables, and, due to the very real possibility of a new ice age arriving, warm clothes and blankets, said Massey, who in 2023 will have no time to evacuate before the massive storm forces down his door and fills his lungs with water. My thinking is, you need to be ready for anything when theres an apocalypse coming. I also got this, he continued, slamming a loaded M9 Beretta pistol down on the table in front of him. Whatevers coming at me, its not getting away without a fight. Massey added that the evidence presented by astronomers indicating that no comet or meteor is currently on a collision course with Earth is a hoax almost as absurd as global warming. 
3	Attacking Police and Enacting Violence Will Do Nothing to Stop Brutality It Will Make it Far WorseBy Matt Agorist These apparently unprovoked attacks on individuals who were not directly involved in threatening the life of the shooters are a hindrance to the progression of liberty and police accountability. Random acts of violence will only serve to undo what little progress those of us in the peaceful movement have accomplished and,in fact, will reverse it and prevent any future progress. (((terpkristin))) (@terpkristin) July 8, 2016 Violently attacking the government creates victims out of the ones we are trying to expose as criminals. Those who initiate and support such violence will be complicit in creating the hellish police state that will inevitably ensue as a consequence of their actions. It will start a war in which the people are the enemy. We can simply look back to 9-11 as an example of what is to come if this violence continues. Prior to 9-11 the TSA did not exist, indefinite detention did not exist, the NSA did not spy on American citizens, the police werent given armored assault vehicles, and Americans could not be assassinated without trial. We can expect to see peaceful activists rounded up and detained indefinitely. We can expect to see homes raided of individuals who are speaking out against the State. We will see more and more checkpoints, and less and less unmolested travel. If you think that the American people can somehow win in a war against the military industrial complex that the US has built up in the last decade and a half, you are seriously delusional. Your AR-15 will do nothing against thermal imaging predator drones equipped with Raytheons small tactical munitions designed for blowing up single homes. They will not stop the MRAP as it plows through your front door. No matter how you slice it, the most well-armed American citizen is no match for the hundreds of billions spent annually by the US on warfare. No, this battle will not be won with weaponry as the US spends more annually on defense than the next 13 largest militaries in the world, combined. Also, the above scenarios dont take into accountthepublics support. If a group of people rise up and claim to be freedom fighters and they do not have the support of the citizens, well, that revolution was over before it started. If anyone thinks that killing cops and/or praising the death of innocent people will amass public opinion in their favor again, they are seriously delusional. Even if a large group was able to get public support and engage in a war against the government, imagine the horrid reality that would come to pass.The US would literally be a war zone and quickly languish into third world status. As a former Marine, I know that before I woke up to this tyranny, I would have done anything my leaders told me, including initiating force against Americans especially if there were an increase in theprevalence of unprovoked violence against the State like we just witnessed in Dallas. However, I also know firsthand how people can change once presented with the information that frees them from their Statist bonds. Most of these police officers are simply brainwashed into thinking they are doing the right thing. They just need to see their true reflection enough times to realize that they are not. It is up to you and me to provide this reflection. That is why we must win the hearts and minds of the people within the State. We must expose as much of their violence and corruption as we can, for that is what garners support not murder. We must show that those of us who stand against this state corruption are the good guys. We are not some violent group of terrorists who are quick to don the pitchforks and torches and beg for blood. Removal of due process, the initiation of violence, and abuse of power these are tools of the State, not of the peaceful revolution. Those who would take an innocent life to incite change are no different than the mass murdering sociopaths within the government. But police are not innocent, some will say. What are statements such as that one, other than calls to remove due process and act as judge, jury, and executioner, just like the corrupt police? Yes, police uphold a system of immoral laws that lead to the harassment, kidnapping and death of innocent people. But these are mere symptoms of a much larger problem. The police state didnt suddenly pop up overnight. Its a product of society. More accurately, its a symptomof a sick society that we are all complicit in creating. Our only means of changing this sick society is changing ourselves. We have to remove our dependency upon a group of people who use violent coercion to achieve what they refer to as order. When enough of us do this, the police state becomes irrelevant. To quote Butler Shaffer from his eye-opening book,The Wizards of Ozymandias: We will not become free when the state goes away. Rather the state will go away once we are free. Taking an aspirin for a headache only masks the symptom of that headache, it does nothing to eliminate the cause. One cannot eliminate future headaches by constantly taking aspirin, in the same manner that one cannot change a violent State by acting within the rules of that State; violence will only be met with more violence and more support for the State. We must show that policing society does not have to be like this. We must expose the faults of this archaicsystem of using violence to solve every problem that arises. We must show that there are alternatives to this type of policing and these alternatives will eventually make the old system obsolete.This has already begun. We are now witnessing the free market reacting to an incompetent and violent police state by creating alternative means of community security. Apps like Peacekeeper, which connects community members directly to each other to foster community interdependence by empowering community members to protect one another, are popping up as a reaction to police violence and corruption. Organizations like the Threat Management Center in Detroit are popping up in response to police incompetence and negligence, and they are proving to be magnitudes more effective than actual police. The new system is being built and is quickly showing the obsolescence of the old. But here is the kicker all these alternatives go away as long as people keep initiating senseless violence. We can say goodbye to all these positive aspects of society reacting peacefully to the police state. Every act of senseless violence is a step backward in the fight for freedom. Do not mistake this as a call to pacifism. No one is advocating that you lay down and lick the boots of tyrants as they oppress you. Self-defense is a natural right. This is why we see laws popping up like the one in Indiana that legalizes the shooting of police if they enter your home and pose an unjust threat to you and your family. Georgia Sen. Mike Crane is running in the states Republican primary to replace U.S. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland. Any politician seeking office in that very conservative state must pledge their support to cops and authority figures. But Crane, being a strict constitutionalist, believes that no-knock warrants are illegal and unjust. He was even filmed at a town hall meeting noting how shooting at unannounced intruders in your house is just, regardless of the badge. The actions that we are taking now like filming the police, photographing and documenting their corruption and standing up to their immoral rule, are the real catalysts of change; and again, they will all go away if the violence continues. This one photograph from Kent state, showing the murderous nature of the police state did more to incite change than any amount of violence could ever do. The video of Eric Garner did not lead to the indictment of officerPantaleo, but it set off a wave of peaceful resistance like weve never seen. Sports figures, movie stars, newscasters and even lawmakers have rallied together to put an end to this senseless police brutality. The two videos of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling were waking Americans up. Now, their tragic deaths are put on the back burner as the nation grieves the senseless murder of the Dallas police officers. If you think that we are losing this battle, however, think again. Police are frequently contacting The Free Thought Project and asking how they can help stop this ridiculous police state, and we are working with them to find new ways. One of the ways is a fund that weve recently set up to help whistleblower officers. There are organizations like LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition) that are fighting the odds and standing up to their own peers and seeking peaceful change. There are movements across the country which are forcing police departments to carry their own personal liability insurance.This would stop the unaccountable flow of taxpayer dollars to pay for police misconduct, and hold the officers directly responsible for their actions. We are winning and can beat these tyrants. But if people continue to stoop to the same level of senseless violence and removal of due process as them, we will not only lose, but guarantee that there will never be another opportunity to resist again.

MK-Ultra? in case the author has been sleepingTHE POLICE ARE AT WAR WITH THE PEOPLE. When good cops dont take a stand against bad cops the good cops are going to be in the line of fire just the same as the good Nazis who were just following orders. Agree, seems hopeless. Maybe now its best for all patriot websites and talk shows to shut down and go underground (hunker down) since nothing has really been accomplished since the internet got going with patriot websites, talk radio. Downhill esp. since 9/11. Few if any have awakened in years and nothing really gets done. The bad guys have all the weapons and we will be trampled trying to resist any tyranny. Hiding out and leaving cities best option if possible. Many cannot, for various reasons. Train wreck over a cliff just ahead. Article explains exactly why patriots will utterly fail trying anything which is 21 century weaponry and few alpha males in this country left. Matt Agoristhmmm. For whatever reasons, something makes me question WHY you wrote this article more than what you are saying in it. Could you enlighten us to why you felt the need to push such a message given current state of affairs? To me,it seems he feels the build up of an horrific SWAT like no-holds barred policy of law enforcement, along the lines of the most militant martial law, a Gestapo form of law enforcement, and he is scared to see that become reality. He feels there is only one chance to stop the progression toward martial law, and that is what he is recommending. At the heart of what he is saying is, dont harm or take on the cops, furthering the them versus us mentality that will cause the cops to close ranks and come after every American. How do you know the mind of Matt Agorist? Let him defend his own writing. Let him speak for himself. However, he cannot be bothered with such things while he rummages around on the Internet for some story he can spin up and fling onto a website like this one. Since I actually read his article, and have read similar writings, and as i prefaced my remarks, it seemed to me that he feared the Why dont you try to educate yourself before throwing more hostility, hatred and violence on innocent people. The writer has the same rights you do to put his opinions in writing. You are merely flinging your ignorant opinions on paper. You are merely rummaging around in your uneducated, hateful brain for something to say. Too bad you have nothing worth reading to say. I read the article too. That is your first wrong assumption: that I did not. Got Flaming Medusa spews vile? Free Speech. Freedom. You no like, live elsewhere, blog elsewhere. You add nothing of importance or edification. Just spew. Whats with you? What is wrong with me asking Matt Agorist the question I did and why do you feel you somehow feel a need to detract from that? Ahhh, you too, have an interest in that question and how it is answered, or not answered. What narrative are you supporting? He is applying Sun Tzus dictum. Discourage people from fighting and you can walk all over them. BINGO! Matt Agorist sounds more like statist snake in the grass after reading this surrender-monkey screechfest The two videos of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling were waking Americans up. Now, their tragic deaths are put on the back burner as the nation grieves the senseless (?) murder of the Dallas police officers. Hmmm now, that couldnt possibly be the point here? But hold on, I should probably take off the tin-foil hat A lot of important news stories are now on the back burner. Love your sarcasm! Leave the hat on, it is now a badge of courage of those who actually think for themselves. Distractions, Distractions lets be clear about this, they have brought this on themselves, I have seen four videos where the police have stopped a car, and each time the people inside the car had no chance, because the police officer behaved like an hysterical schoolgirl, and he has fired his weapon without any provocation from the victim, I am not trying to blow up how good the British police are, but they are way above the US POLICE, in my opinion the US POLICE are the OFFENDERS and the LAWBREAKERS, PLUS NOW THEY HAVE BECOME THE ENEMY, because if any family of mine was killed any these screaming Banshees I would want to know the reason why, many of the police officers have served in a war zone before joining the police and they have not been cleared for duty, that is why they cant perform like a normal person, because they are already damaged goods. if something has to change it has to be the police force, because they are coming murder and getting away with it, unless the world is going through a reversal where the good guys are inside, and all the bad guys are wearing uniforms. So you dislike veterans.. There are movements across the country which are forcing police departments to carry their own personal liability insurance. This would stop the unaccountable flow of taxpayer dollars to pay for police misconduct, and hold the officers directly responsible for their actions. Just a minute, lets think about this. If ALL the police departments in the U.S. need to take out liability insurance, at the taxpayers' expense, and that insurance is going to cover all of the anticipated settlements for police misconduct, wont that just spread the costs around to taxpayers everywhere? Not to mention factoring in a nice fat profit for the insurance industry? Nice to see someone is thinking! Nice to see at least two people are thinking, Cal and BRtanner. You screen applicants to find those within a narrow range of acceptable intelligence (not too dumb, not too bright), you hire from amongst them a bunch of wannabe legal thugs who believe a badge and gun give them something akin to comic book superpowers over the general populace, you give them military grade weapons and Israeli anti-terrorist style urban warfare training, you show them by incessant Hollywood propaganda and by repeated real-life example that they are in a class of their own, a cadre-in-arms quite literally above the law, and what happens is exactly what youd expect would happen. Now lets give them INSURANCE AGAINST LIABILITY FOR THEIR WRONGFUL ACTIONS? What could possibly go wrong in this scenario? You boys that are taking old Matt Agorist to task over his sniveling article are right on. In addition to the things you have said and in consideration of the current police war on the people, gang bangers killing cops and cops killing gang bangers is behavior that should be encouraged. After all, both are nothing but mafia like criminal gangs in competition with each other to see how much they can steal from the people. The solution to violence is in unity! Unity knows not race, religion or politics; it is intelligence and logic working together to end human insanity. Unity can exist within the Community, Nation, and Humanity; if only, humans whatever side they have found themselves on whether inside or outside of any established and dividing entity stop and focus on what is right with respect for Life and each other! Unity is the person in the street,,, the police officer the priest or imam the diverse natures and colors of our physical garments defined as bodies the Natural Natures and Foundations of Life Itself the caring for each and other. It is time that Unity reawakens and comes back to life within our homes, communities, states or regions, nations and Humanity as a whole.There is no War going on! There is a powerful and occult mind-game going on that is forcing one against other! All of us can win that game by only sto playing it and uniting! I have a problem with part of the statement praising the death of innocent people why shouldnt innocent people be praised? Having spent a couple hours checking all the videos: wrong info put out by chief; 2 snipers on high, the only video of a subject shooting/receiving fire he is on the ground. This guy had no overwatch/sniper covering him. A couple of the other arrested were clearly not involved. One dead shooter, he may have been the only one shooting cops. From on high he should have killed for more as few bystanders were hit (and those may have been hit by cops) and there were plenty of targets as more cops came to area. Several witnesses stated the shooter was at ground level. Looks like most cops hit within first couple minutes. If more than one shooter more cops should have been shot at midway point. I say lone wolf shooter, good shot but not a sniper, no secondary kill zone. I would say non-military shooter, he didnt cut the pie, start out at best position (on high), had no tactical gear, no defense in depth or assault in earnest to get in among the targets. He was committed but not well trained. If you think that the American people can somehow win in a war against the military industrial complex that the US has built up in the last decade and a half, you are seriously delusional. Soooo, hows that victory in Afghanistan against goat farmers armed with World War I rifles doing after 15 years? The Taliban control as much of Afghanistan now as they did before the 2001 invasion, yet here you are spewing this idiocy about the supposed invincibility of the military industrial complex here. They havent won a war since World War II but they will win a war against 100 million armed Americans? F*ck outta here with that nonsense. I get it youve surrendered already and you want company in the camps yeah agreed, article is garbage, they cannot carpet bomb the entire country into compliance We havent won a war in 71 years, you make a good point. Why arent forces using hi tech weapons in the middle east anyway?? Because they are using crap hardware commissioned from no-bid pentagon contracts that dont work on cloudy days (drones) or when its windy and sandy (most everything else). The pentagon has become the biggest collectivist behemoth outside of the old Soviet Union and we all know how THAT monstrosity ended up OR He/she/it is in L.E., spawn of L.E. spouse of L.E. or parent of L.E. Since the dual citizen owned/operated Department of Homeland Security gifted the (true) nuclear rogue state of occupied Palestine with lucrative contracts to train our L.E. in dealing with domestic terrorists violence by them has shot up exponentially; Until everyone realizes that what happened in Dallas and other cities is exactly what the Left wants, Anarchists will continue these atrocities. The Cops arent our enemies, regardless what the media spins. Say what you will, but, 99.9% of Cops are not bad! So how come they cannot control and arrest the 0.1% that you say are bad? What slobbering maroon ! Yahhh, whats up doc ? WTF? Perhaps hes feeling blue today, PJ. Im sure he doesnt ordinarily call people maroon. sorry , I use the same service as BLM and my mail was hacked a few days back? No problem. So far I have been fortunate and evaded the attentions of the unwashed. If you do evil you are evil. 100% of police are bad. They may be IGNORE-ant and they may be STUPID (verified in court,) but that does not change the fact they are BAD PEOPLE for following orders without conscience. Until people understand this simple fact, expect more violence. bullsheet copsucker This is part of the Obama plan to cause widespread violence,shut down the conventions and declare martial law to prevent the election of Donald Trump. Dont fall for the divide and conquer. This is the gov and their agent provocateurs doing this stuff to destabilize the country. This isnt the people murdering these officers Agorist! The people behind this are your former employers. Any evidence to back up your statements? Yes, divide and conquer strategies work and are well used. Ive seen some evidence to support that anti-Trump protesters were paid. Ive seen evidence that counter intelligence (FBI, CIA, NSA) agents were paid to disrupt peaceful protests. Weve had a number of violent confrontations capturing the division and hatred between Americans. Has there been any evidence showing this is paid for, mind controlled or otherwise directed. Please share. Poletitions is where the bullets should be flying. The only real argument I have with this piece is the notion that cops are good. Lol. They are NOT GOOD, they are BAD PEOPLE. If you do evil you are evil. 100% of police are bad. They may be IGNORE-ant and they may be STUPID (verified in court,) but that does not change the fact they are BAD PEOPLE for following orders without conscience. Until people understand this simple fact, expect more violence. Dangerous people then maybe? Anytime someone can order them to cause harm, and theyll follow that order without thinking. Sorry to say, but every time we see these incidents we automatically think of programs like MK-Ultra, etc., and wonder whos driving the bus Is it the FBI, CIA, DIA, ATF, NSA, TSA, Homeland Security, etc.? Well ! why dont we just line up and lick their boots chicken little? We have let this monster get out of control by letting the elected and appointed official get away with violating their oath of office and letting treason slide. Now after Comeys performance , the people hear that the law breakers are just going to run over whomever gets in their way and just damn the Constitution. Sorry folks, you cant have your cake and eat it too. When the time was available and the means to get rid of tyranny, the damned football games and toys kept you preoccupied (Bread and Circuses). The women have been bamboozled through their emotions and the men are castrated shells especially on the Statist side of the isle. Boobus Americanus is getting a rude awakening just as Boobus Europanus is. Since when does six cops equal 560 citizens this year yet ? Herman, you say: Clean out the out of control elements at the Federal and local level and render due penalties to ALL people of position that have knowingly or unknowingly violated the Constitution and/or their oath of office. No exceptions. Later you incidentally mention cats. We get this Throw the Fat Cats out! rhetoric a lot, and those of us who remember our fairy tales are inevitably reminded of the one about the Council of Mice, deciding to put a bell on the Cat, so it cant keep sneaking up and pouncing on them. Unanimous agreement attends this excellent idea, till they get to the sticky part: Who among us is going to bell the Cat? Unfortunately, as it turns out, all present had prior commitments. The story doesnt explicitly say, but Im guessing if the Cat ever does get belled it only happens when a sufficient number of Mice realize for whom the bell actually tolls: every single one of them. this guy that wrote this is a moron. in Iraq and afghan we lost to a bunch of guys in bathrobes and flip flops. this idiot is saying we can change them thru stupid voting or demonstrating . never happen they have to be killed. texas cops got payback for killing all those bikers sniping from rooftops not connected but payback anyway I have seen the enemy and it is the cops. They are there and ever have been there for one reason only: to control the working man and serve the rich. During WW2 the Dutch police co-operated with the occupiers. Do not ask me to respect the working class traitors. Making it worse is the plan. BlackLivesMatter is working for obama to create the chaos he wants to institute unlawful and unconstitutional martial law. The BLM are useful idiots who will experience the same fate once obama is finished using them. this is all planned to bring further destruction upon the usa. kind of a puzzle piece leading up to the solutions which the NWO has prepared. It is definitely a warthe cops have become a huge unionized street gang, and very dangerous to the law abiding public they are supposed to serve and protect.. the cops have become very macho, and obviously watch too much TV and movies of themselves..they do not know the law, probable causeor anythng, its al macho gun play to themmaybe incidents like this, will start them on the path to correcting their behavious. Nope, incidents like Dallas will cause the police to become 1000 times worse, and that is the point of this article. the US POLICE FORCE are already the worlds worse, how much more can they be Gee, Arlene, that just isnt true, and they could be a lot worse, which is what this article is trying to say. If the police believe they are being attacked, and after this mornings new news about Missouri and Georgia attacks on police, things will radically shift in the US, and Im surprised someone as smart as you cant foresee that. What are you talking about ? They are the worse by a mile ! Willful ignorance IS UNETHICAL . Iceland also is pretty peaceful. But just selecting a few countries with low cop killings and listing a few is very uncompelling. Smart, and check out 4 countries in Africa where gays are arrested, torture and imprisoned or just killed by the police for being gay. The list of atrocities goes on and on. The official records for China in 2014 claim only 12 killed by police? Lets look at the last years that United Nations observers were allowed into China to investigate their human rights abuses (2003-2004). In 2003, the Chinese admitted their police killed 460 civilians, but the Chinese engaged in immediate executions, meaning no trial or other due process, to kill another 10,000 people. In fact, the Chinese have admitted that they execute at least 5000 people/year, and as many as 12,000/year. You see, Sarah, whether the civilians are shot down in cold blood, or, arrested and then immediately executed by the State, without any due process or trial, that means that China is killing thousands of its own people every year. That is the reality. Those are the facts and your assertions above are on the level of fraud. The United Nations found that torture in China was widespread, and that hundreds of civilians/year died under torture. Most of the torture is very specific and intended to result in the death of the person being tortured. China has 700 prisons for adults that house over 1.5 million persons, under harsh conditions, and all prisoners must work. More organs for organ transfers originate in China than anywhere else, and most of those are coming from the thousands executed every year. Is it willful ignorance that you have no working knowledge of China and its human rights records? Lets not even touch upon the millions and millions of Chinese murdered during the 10 years after its conversion to Communism under Mao in 1959. Now, the truth about China, so different from what you claim, still doesnt entitle American law enforcement to engage in the abuse and misuse of their official power. We must work to prevent this. First, who benefits from peaceful protests all of a sudden turning bloody? Who benefits by dividing into firmer lines against each other between the people and those who serve the people as law enforcement? What are the things that this action here can cause to further the destruction of the USA, putting it further into a One World Government? If you think the PTB will not murder law enforcement, military, and the general populace to further destroy our nation from within, you are not thinking or paying attention. I will bet when the dust has settled, when it is REALLY investigated that it will be found as the others previous actions such as this have been, committed by paid protestors, paid provocateurs, mercenaries to cause further battle lines to be drawn between the people and law enforcement, between races, between other divisions that can be used against us. I would not be surprised to find out that within the LE community itself will be found some of those who fired upon their own, along with outside assistance. What needs to be done is instead of turning all of us against each other by ever dividing means they can use, we start erasing those lines and defend each other, because when they can no longer get Americans to destroy each other over CAUSED internal divisions be it race, LE vs people, etc then the real fight will come to finish off those of us left. Stand for America, stand for the US Constitution and your state Constitution, stand for Americans whoever you are, whatever position you occupy, because if we do not stand against this, we all will fall. If we do not recognize that this is deliberately brought about to divide and conquer us we have already lost. Looks more like a photo op all the cops behind the wall are concerned about what? Some people mistakenly believe that just because the police have been militarized and the government is at war against the people, that the people can return fire. They are wrong. f you seriously, f you after all they have done. long overdue Lets be clearsince hippies were getting their skulls knocked in in the 60s, we have tried (in EARNEST weve tried) to change the systemthrough protest (both peaceful and otherwise), through education, through the courtsall in vain. The fact of the matter is the system is designed to resist change both from without and within. I think weve tallied enough usurpations by this point to call on the Declaration of Independance (and backed buy the 2nd amendment) as evidence and reason that the time has come to abolish the old (through force) in institute new protections for the people. I believe quarter must and should be given. That they be given the oppprtunity to surrended their arms and badges, and allowed to go home to their families if theu choose. That we must demonstrate unto them the mercy they have refused us time and again, to prove unequivocably that we are the better men (and women). Because we are. Three problems: 1. When non-violent means fail to produce results, violence is whats left. This is what is required. Weve been trying to use the courts for over 50 years now, they own the courts. 1. Using violence makes you as bad as our masters. 1. So the folks that fought for our independence were as bad as their mastersMr. Washington was certainly glad he didnt have cowards such as you serving in his army. We would still be knealing to the crown. Makes me wonder who, exactly, you work for in that you find the need to attempt to shape public opinion in such a manner. 1. Returning fire is defending yourself, your rights, and your property. On many points (such as tsa, patriot act, et al, we agree on. At the end of the day, our elected officialsarent. Theyre puppets. Putting them in prison amounts to very little. We need to get rid of the puppet masters (Israel, for one) before anything will matter. Your proposed random murders have escalated to getting rid of random countries. Prior to 9-11 the TSA did not exist, indefinite detention did not exist, the NSA did not spy on American citizens, the police werent given armored assault vehicles, and Americans could not be assassinated without trial. This is very true, Matt, best part of your article. Not long after 9/11, when I was pointing out the problems with the official story to friends and close relatives I was told, hey, fuggeddaboudit, its old news. Even if it was a put up job theres nothing you can do about it. But owing to many peoples willingness to just let it go, we have everything youve mentioned, and more which you did not. But unfortunately you go on to assert: The police state didnt suddenly pop up overnight. Its a product of society. More accurately, its a symptom of a sick society that we are all complicit in creating. It would be great if such force could be effectively employed against only the evil-doers. Thats not going to happen for all too many obvious reasons. You worry that things may get ugly? Things already are ugly. This is a fight which was and is being brought to our doorstep every single day. An enormous amount of noble, peaceful work has been and is being doneand Im afraid its far too little, far too late. Barry would probably like that! He probably planned it An American insurgency can stop the GOVT thats why Gun ownership is so important. They wouldnt be trying so desperately to take away weapons if they were not afraid of them. Guns are NOT the problem an overbearing state and criminal subculture are. ..You got it back to front, Mate even your President knows that Obozo is a joke. A puppet for the globalists and he goes along with it like the good yes man he is. President doesnt know SH** he does what he is told.

3	Fukushima? 10,000 Dead Squid Wash up on Chile BeachIt is being referred to as Cthulhu-geddon. Exact reason for this die-off is unknown, but some experts claim it might be a sudden drop in oxygen content in the water or an increase in water temperatures. They just really dont know. Of course, just like all the other mass die-offs up and down the Pacific coast in recent years, no one in any official capacity is pointing to the Fukushima disaster, still dumping tons of radioactive water into the sea as it has been for the last half a decade now just across the globe from Chile. 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! Might I suggest that, since Chile is located in the ring of fire region, that it was underwater volcanic action that starved the deep layer of ocean of oxygen? There is much ado, volcanically, going on in the world right now and we will see much more earthquakes in divers places. We will see many more fish and mammals washed up on shorelines. We will also hear of much more El Nino activity as the oceans warm due to these underwater island-makers. This sounds possible. Still continual dumping of plutonium waste into the Pacific documented dead zones could also be contributing. Simply put why is no one out their testing the squid for radiation poisoning? EXCELLENT idea! Why indeed?? Just recently tuna fish caught outside California was full of Fukushima radiation. Some radiation particles stay in the environment for one thousand years. I take iodine pills daily and dont eat fish anymore (I dont live on west coast, I am in FL). If you know the causes The The Pacific ocean eastern shores region especaily Mexico has had a recent history of very massive growth in numbers of Squids some years before Fuchshima .This could be natrual rise in numbers of squid or could be Squid are taking over to replace the diminishing fish from overfishing .Nobody knows in this time why sqid populations are exploding but fishermen enjoy it squid cathes are way up .It might be the squid population has exceeded the abailty of the ocean in that region to support these large numbers .Just saying as I am not a marine expert . There will be an avalanche of advertising for Mrs. Pauls fish sticks, or every Italian restaurant in the western hemisphere will be having scungilli specials. With all the scientist knowing so much, they fail to do simple investigations of the cause. To ignore Fukushima and the nuclear pollution is seemingly unwise if not deliberate political B S . it is suspected that this is another distraction to keep the public from knowing how much is actually going on. Then again perhaps we, collectively, really dont want to know what is coming. The drama goes on and on blessings This article claims Fukushima is being ignored. Does that really mean it is? I seem to recall billions in aid being poured into its clean up. People like to imagine that you can just say SCIENCE and magically solutions to enormously large and complex problems become illuminated. You mean its apparent to this jackass the effect Fukushima has on the ocean, but not to International Nuclear Regulatory Commisions. Or conversely that these Commisions should release reports before they have concluded official study and investigation. Also if it is giant amounts of radioactive contamination in ocean precisely what Star Trek level technology do you believe we have to clean that up? Im not saying we shouldnt try but kind of sad I bothered reading the comments or this poorly written article. Wrong hemisphere to blame Fukushima. Yeah, I know, the Pacific Ocean divides at the equator and the waters north of the equator NEVER mix with the waters of south of the equator, huh? Brilliant reply, thank you! I guess we shouldnt wonder. Much of our youth were never really taught to think.logically and rationally, that is. Keep voting the thugs in folks . It is a good video image, but this is not at all astonishing phenomenon for squid or marine life. These are jumbo flying squid (Dosidicus gigas) distributed in the eastern coast of south and north America. And in each several year or ten years these have been observed. We dont know exactly why these happen but we supposed squid were affected a abnormal oceanographic condition (poor oxygen, higher temperature, etc), earthquake or for escapement from large predators, etc. No, not really possible radiation from the western Pacific would affect squid in the eastern Pacific. As with birds in Alaska, the squid are starving as warming ocean waters are depleted of nutrients. The same thing is happening in many lakes and oceans around the world. Maybe those squid didnt wanna live in a polluted ocean anymore and decided to collectively step through the door. Just like the bees are doing. I may be wrong but it looks like humanity is soon to experience karma, in biblical proportions. 
1	Saying they don't know why it never occurred to them before, friends of local man Paul Helton told reporters Sunday that they have never once seen Helton with a shirt on. 'I've seen him with a shirt thrown over his shoulder, and I've seen him with a shirt tied around his waist, but no, I guess I've never actually seen a shirt physically covering his torso,' said Jeff Callahan, 36, adding that Helton probably wears a shirt to his job at the bank, though he admitted he's never actually seen Helton at work. 'Wait, he must've worn anope. He didn't have a shirt on for that entire WVU football game last January, either.' According to friends, Helton is also shirtless in all of his baby pictures. 
2	Old Man Attacked By Muslims For Protecting Young Girl [VIDEO] Remember when President Obama called Islam a religion of peace? Were wondering where he was looking. Because what we are seeing throughout the world is an escalation of violence at the hands of Muslim extremists and Syrian refugees. Cases of reported rapes are at an all time high in countries like Sweden, women are being attacked on the streets, and if you come to their defense you had better be ready to be a target of violence yourself. That is made loud and clear in this footage of a group of Muslim men attacked an older gentlemen on the subway after he decides to do the right thing and help and young girl who is being molested. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do thugs like this need to see justice?

2	Hallmark Just Backed Muslims In An Absolutely DISGUSTING Way In a controversial move that is shocking the nation, Hallmark has just released greeting cards for the Muslim holiday Eid-al-Fitr. The holiday marks the end of the fast of Ramadan, one of the five pillars of Islam. One of the cards reads Eid Mubarak which means Happy Holiday. The same card also contains the message: May Allah bless the world with His peace and love. Another card reads: Eid brings us all closer togetherbrothers and sisters, friends and family, united in faith, joy and thanks on this happy and blessed day. Eid Mubarak to you and yours. Ramadan is set to begin this year between October 25 and October 27, which is when we can expect to see these cards on store shelves. What do you think of Hallmarks decision to release the cards? 
3	The Impending Russian MaidanTony Cartalucci The necessary components of a successful Western bid to overthrow the Russian political order include a political front protesting in Russias major cities, as well as a full-spectrum economic war to put pressure on Russias population, increasing dissent as well as swelling the ranks of staged protests Wall Street and Washington put in Russian streets. Another necessary component includes armed components to act under cover of peaceful protesters to escalate street demonstrations, prevent security forces from restoring order, and to carry out the actual physical overthrow of these security forces. These elements could all be seen in neighboring Ukraine a nation in which America and NATOs incessant meddling is a matter of long-standing public record. The Guardian would admit in its 2004 article, US campaign behind the turmoil in Kiev, that (emphasis added): 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. Richard Miles, the US ambassador in Belgrade, played a key role. And by last year, as US ambassador in Tbilisi, he repeated the trick in Georgia, coaching Mikhail Saakashvili in how to bring down Eduard Shevardnadze. Ten months after the success in Belgrade, the US ambassador in Minsk, Michael Kozak, a veteran of similar operations in central America, notably in Nicaragua, organised a near identical campaign to try to defeat the Belarus hardman, Alexander Lukashenko. That one failed. There will be no Kostunica in Belarus, the Belarus president declared, referring to the victory in Belgrade. But experience gained in Serbia, Georgia and Belarus has been invaluable in plotting to beat the regime of Leonid Kuchma in Kiev. The operation engineering democracy through the ballot box and civil disobedience is now so slick that the methods have matured into a template for winning other peoples elections. Not only has Ukraine suffered because of this admitted US-backed political destabilization over the years, but as revealed by the Guardian and other sources, all of Eastern Europe has fallen prey to this brand of foreign-backed subversion, manipulation, and regime change. Considering this documented fact, the prospect of Wall Street and Washington trying likewise in Russia itself is not only possible, it has already been tried before, with likely attempts in the future only inevitable. The Blockade Already at work is a coordinated manipulation of world oil prices. Revealed among plunging oil prices is that the entire industry is centrally manipulated not by market forces but by political agendas involving the US and its partners in the Middle East, most notably the enduring dictatorship in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. While any nation possesses the ability to weather such economic measures in the long-term as Iran and Cuba have proven; in the short-term, economic instability is one of the harbingers of political subversion where ranks of street demonstrations can be swelled by those who perceive such economic instability as the fault of the current government, rather than an economic attack from abroad. The Political Front and Muscle Alexey Navalny was a Yale World Fellow, and in his profile it states: Navalny spearheads legal challenges on behalf of minority shareholders in large Russian companies, including Gazprom, Bank VTB, Sberbank, Rosneft, Transneft, and Surgutneftegaz, through the Union of Minority Shareholders. He has successfully forced companies to disclose more information to their shareholders and has sued individual managers at several major corporations for allegedly corrupt practices. Navalny is also co-founder of the Democratic Alternative movement and was vice-chairman of the Moscow branch of the political party YABLOKO. In 2010, he launched RosPil, a public project funded by unprecedented fundraising in Russia. In 2011, Navalny started RosYama, which combats fraud in the road construction sector. The Democratic Alternative, also written DA!, is a US State Department National Endowment for Democracy (NED) fund recipient, implicating Alexey Navalny as an agent of US-funded sedition. The US State Department itself reveals this as they list DA! among many of the youth movements they support operating in Russia: DA!: Mariya Gaydar, daughter of former Prime Minister Yegor Gaydar, leads DA! (Democratic Alternative). She is ardent in her promotion of democracy, but realistic about the obstacles she faces. Gaydar said that DA! is focused on non-partisan activities designed to raise political awareness. She has received funding from the National Endowment for Democracy, a fact she does not publicize for fear of appearing compromised by an American connection. That this funding is nowhere on NEDs official website indicates that full disclosures are not being made and that NED is engaged in clandestine funding. Ilya Yashin leads the Moscow branch of the Peoples Freedom Party and is a leading member of the Strategy 31 campaign whose ranks are filled with activists trained and coordinated by US NED-funded NGOs. Deleted from the official NED.org website was Strategy 31s US funding: Moscow Group of Assistance in the Implementation of the Helsinki Accords$50,000 To draw greater attention to the issue of freedom of assembly in Russia and to the Strategy 31 movement, which seeks to protect this fundamental right. The organization will train a network of regional activists and coordinate their activities through mini-seminars and field visits, and conduct an information campaign through press conferences, posters, and educational handouts pertaining to freedom of assembly, to be distributed to the general public by regional partners. Also deleted was a NED Democracy Digest article titled Strategy 31: A sign of civil societys resilience. In it, the Moscow Helsinki Group is explicitly stated as leading Strategy 31 marches and that the group is a long-time grantee of the National Endowment of Democracy. The multiple deletions across NEDs networks of Russian activists it is heavily funding and directing is yet another sign of imminent subversion, in hopes that links cannot be provided fast enough as the unrest unfolds to undermine the legitimacy of the otherwise US-engineered subversion. Revealed is a political front entirely created by the US State Department to pose as the aspirations of the Russian people while in reality a creation and perpetuation of the aspirations of Wall Street and Washington. Under the unrest this front creates may be a heavily armed front consisting of ultra-right Neo-Nazis as observed in Ukraine, heavily armed sectarian terrorists backed by Saudi Arabia, or both. A Look At Americas Sedition Handbook 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. Here, US policymakers are openly conspiring to covertly provoke a nation through political subversion. The resulting act of aggression would be portrayed as unprovoked, just as has been done regarding Russias involvement in neighboring Ukraine and all moves since Moscow has undertaken as the US and NATO continue to move toward war. The policy paper also openly talks about the particulars of fomenting political unrest. Under a section called literally, Finding the Right Proxies it states: One of the hardest tasks in fomenting a revolution, or even just unrest, is finding the right localpartners. After openly admitting the goal of fomenting a revolution or unrest, it then details what support to provide these proxies: students and other groups need covert backing for their demonstrations. They need fax machines. They need internet access, funds to duplicate materials, and funds to keep vigilantes from beating them up. Beyond this, U.S.-backed media outlets could highlight regime shortcomings and make otherwise obscure critics more prominent. The United States already supports Persian-language satellite television (Voice of america Persian) and radio (radio Farda) that bring unfiltered news to Iranians (in recent years, these have taken the lions share of overt U.S. funding for promoting democracy in Iran). U.S. economic pressure (and perhaps military pressure as well) can discredit the regime, making the population hungry for a rival leadership. The report finally mentions armed groups supporting US-engineered sedition: Some who favor fomenting regime change in Iran argue that it is utopian to hold out hope for a velvet revolution; instead, they contend that the United States should turn to Iranian opposition groups that already exist, that already have demonstrated a desire to fight the regime, and who appear willing to accept U.S. assistance. The hope behind this course of action is that these various opposition groups could transform themselves into more potent movements that might be able to overturn the regime. What is troubling about this 2009 report is that each and every conspiracy contained within is not only confirmed by the authors to already be well underway against Iran, it is now clear that similar tactics have been used against Syria, China, and Russia itself. The Arab Spring was little more than these tactics used on a regional scale, and what was done in Syria and even Ukraine are almost verbatim pages torn from this playbook. For a campaign aimed at Moscow itself, it is likely the same playbook will once again be employed. Exposing the insidious, malicious criminality of US policymakers who openly conspire to provoke other nations into conflict and manipulate public perception to maintain moral primacy is the first step to undoing attempts to destabilize and undermine Russia, and all other nations caught in the crosshairs of Wall Street and Washington. While the West continues to portray Russia as the aggressor, throughout Americas own policy papers it can be seen that such accusations are just one part of an immensely insidious and deceitful plan. Portraying Russia as the aggressors helps justify further measures to set the board for widespread political subversion within Russia itself. It seeks to justify not only direct ties to opposition groups when they are finally revealed, but also increasingly aggressive interventions both by armed proxies and NATO forces themselves to continue propping up these opposition groups. The spectacular nature of invasions as we imagine them, such as the Nazi blitzkrieg into Western Europe are behind us. Invasions within fourth generation warfare utilize faux opposition groups, covert military support, and full-spectrum economic, political, and information warfare. Russia has built defenses against this form of warfare, confounding the West , but ultimately the moral high ground and all of its advantages is a position only one can hold. Either by truth through exposing the Wests means and agenda will Russia climb to the top, or through the Wests continued successful deception, will Russia be pelted below.

1	Brian Grant, 24, reported that a rock concert he attended at the Empty Bottle Saturday was ruined by 35-year-old music fan Daryl Froemer's enthusiasm. Froemer has a good time, to the dismay of concertgoers like Grant (inset). 'I was trying to enjoy [New York-based rock group] Oneida, but it was totally impossible because [Froemer] was making a spectacle of himself,' Grant said. 'I couldn't even pay attention to the band. Halfway through the set, I had to leave.' 'I go out to a bar to have a good time, and I can't because there's some jackass racing around in circles and waving his beer bottle in the air,' Grant added. 'I mean, he was even jumping up and down during the mid-tempo songs. Come on! It's not the '90s anymore. This isn't grunge.' In addition to dancing, Froemer reportedly pounded the stage 'like it was on fire,' sang along when he knew the lyrics, yelled out the names of songs he wanted to hear, and repeatedly attempted to enter into a dialogue with the band. 'Every time the singer asked us a question, he was the first one to yell back,' Grant said. 'I don't mind the occasional 'Yeah' or 'Woo,' but this guy was shouting after every song, whistling, and asking them how their amps were. If he hadn't been so annoying, I would have been embarrassed for him.' 'Did he even consider the fact that the singer might have wanted to know how the rest of us were doing?' Grant added. Froemer's attempts to engage other bar patrons in conversation did not sit well with Grant. 'He kept turning to me to say, 'Isn't this great?'' Grant said. 'How many times can you ask someone, 'Isn't this great?' and not get an answer before you realize he doesn't care to give you his opinion?' He added: 'Oh, yeah. And he kept yelling 'Rock 'n' roll!' in my face. And once he screamed 'Stooges!' I had no idea at all why he did that.' Grant said he has seen Froemer at shows before. 'I've seen him around, and he's always enthusiastic,' Grant said. 'But I've never seen him so wound up before.' Grant reported that he lost his patience when Froemer almost spilled a drink. 'On the way back from, like, his 20th trip to the bar, he came this close to spilling a drink all over the floor,' Grant said. 'If it had spilled, some of it could have gotten on me. At that point, I told my date, 'All right, enough. We're leaving.'' This isn't the first time a concert at the Empty Bottle has been ruined by an excited fan. On Sunday, an OKGO show was wrecked by two women who spent the evening jumping up and down directly in front of the stage, blocking the view for several patrons standing behind them. 'Sometimes it's like that,' said Empty Bottle manager Bruce Finkleman. 'Everyone at a show is standing there, arms folded, having a great time, and then someone decides to get crazy. It can kill an otherwise perfect night. Unfortunately, unless the enthusiastic fan breaks something, my hands are tied.' Froemer, whose exuberance at most concerts is endured without incident, said he was sorry to hear that people were put off by his enjoyment of the show. Nevertheless, he said he did not plan to change his behavior at future shows. 'It's too bad someone got mad,' Froemer said. 'But when the band started playing 'Sheets Of Easter,' I went nuts. It's 15 minutes, two notes, and it runs over you like a monster truck. I mean, shitthat band is seriously fucking awesome!'

According to recent reports, the White House recently released a press statement claiming that a male President of the United States has announced his breakup with a male staffer and a longtime lover. The press release uses the term body man instead of boyfriend, but the implications remain the same. Read the press release below and tell us what you think. Is this completely bizarre? Reggie Love, President Barack Obamas basketball-playing personal assistant and travel companion, is leaving the White House at the end of this year to finish a graduate degree in business.

3	Senate Narrowly Votes Down Cybersecurity Act Again, Obama Signs Secret DirectiveEric Blair The Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act, first introduced in 2010 by Joe Lieberman, was quickly dubbed the Internet Kill Switch Bill because of the power it gives to the executive branch to seize or shut down parts of the Internet in a cyber emergency. At the timeLieberman justified this draconian power grab by saying, Right now, China, the government, can disconnect parts of its Internet in a case of war. We need to have that here, too. Heres the interview where he made these statements along with some commentary on why this policy is so dangerous: Section 249 of the bill states that the President may issue a declaration of a national cyber emergency to covered critical infrastructure, in which case a response plan is implemented. This plan shall consist of measures or actions necessary to preserve the reliable operation, and mitigate or remediate the consequences of the potential disruption, of covered critical infrastructure. (Source) It seems that Defense Secretary Leon Panettas warnings of a cyber Pearl Harbor or 9/11 and DHS Head Janet Napolitanos urgent warnings after Hurricane Sandy were not strong enough fear mongering to move this law forward. Just before Obamas re-election we wondered how long it would take for him to pull the trigger on his cybersecurity executive order;this persistent manufactured urgency would seem to indicate that they will not wait for Congress to pass a cybersecurity law. Rather, they will likely bypass the Constitution and dictate their authority to control the Internet by having Obama sign an executive order instead. And before yesterdays vote, Lieberman assured us that would happen when hewarned that if Senate didnt act on cybersecurity, Obama will:Im confident that if we fail to act, the president will act, Lieberman said. I think he has a responsibility to act because if we dont were leaving the American people extremely vulnerable to a cybersecurity attack. The HillstatesWednesdays vote opens the door for the White House to issue the executive order it started crafting after the Senate bill failed in August. Indeed, Obama is fully expected to sign the executive order as he told lawmakers in August, inaction would be the height of irresponsibility and it would leave a digital backdoor wide open to our cyber adversaries. Perhaps Obama will sign it in the wee hours of New Years Eve as he did with the controversial NDAA last year. This way the countless year-end fluff stories by the corporate media will drown out any criticism. Unfortunately, this is just one of many threats to the free and open Internet. UPDATE: The Washington Post is reporting that Presidential Obama signed a secret cybersecurity presidential directive: Presidential Policy Directive 20. Apparently this directive was signed in October: Presidential Policy Directive 20 establishes a broad and strict set of standards to guide the operations of federal agencies in confronting threats in cyberspace, according to several U.S. officials who have seen the classified document and are not authorized to speak on the record. The president signed it in mid-October. The new directive is the most extensive White House effort to date to wrestle with what constitutes an offensive and a defensive action in the rapidly evolving world of cyberwar and cyberterrorism, where an attack can be launched in milliseconds by unknown assailants utilizing a circuitous route. For the first time, the directive explicitly makes a distinction between network defense and cyber-operations to guide officials charged with making often-rapid decisions when confronted with threats. 
2	Ben Carson Just Destroyed Everyone For Smearing Donald Trump With A Terrifying Warning... This Is The Truth Dr. Ben Carson has had an interesting response to last weeks media frenzy over the release of a controversial video featuring Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. In a recent statement, Carson claimed that the establishment in the United States is scrambling to protect itself from the threat that Trump poses. This, he argues, is the reason for an October Surprise to stop him. Im not seeing anything that I didnt totally expect. The political class and the media has to make this about Donald Trump, he commented. They cannot make this about the issues. Theyre getting desperate because theyre seeing the crowds that Trump is attracting. They see the enthusiasm gap between the candidates and they know how thats going to translate on Election Day. Their goal is now to dribble out all of these things like this tape. This wont be the last thing, by the way. Theyve been waiting to drop these things out periodically because for one thing, this Hillary open borders thing came out, he continued. This is obscuring that. Why arent we talking about what the implications of that are? It will change the nature of everything in this nation. They were very clever, and because they have the arm of the media it makes it very easy for them to get across what theyre doing. Unless people understand whats going on. Its about the elites and the status quo being desperate to maintain their position and this direction versus a change in direction thats desperately needed. What do you think? Do you agree with Carson?

[VIDEO] In some disturbing new surveillance footage, a racist black man is showing attacking a white blind woman on a crowded bus. The footage shows the attacker viciously yelling, the sick must die! He then goes on to repeatedly punch the blind woman in the face. Fellow passengers quickly rush to her aid, but not until shes already received a few blows. Eventually, the crowd takes the thug down. He was later arrested and charged with assault. UPDATE: This video has since been removed due to violent nature. 
1	Just days after the publication of Vindicated, his second book concerning the use of steroids in professional baseball, former steroid-using baseball player and current steroid-awareness advocate Jose Canseco has debuted La Anabolica, an opera concerning the use of steroids in professional baseball. 'I've done books, interviews, public speaking appearances, improv, and theater-in-the-round on the theme of steroids, and I was looking for something fresh and new, ' Canseco said from the stage of the Met. 'I think my librettoespecially the climactic scene in which fair Don Giambi is tempted to use the magic golden steroids to defeat evil knights Die Rosensox and their enchanted beast Il Monsto Verdeis exactly what is needed to bring the message of steroids in baseball to a new audience.' Critics have not been kind to La Anabolica, noting that 'the lyrics mostly consist of the word 'steroids' chanted over and over' and that 'the ending, which occurs as a steroid-enhanced fat lady sings, is doubly and almost impossibly clichd.' 
2	A Miracle By God Saves This Lucky Couple... Doctors Say Its Impossible They Survived This young couple, Hunter and Arika, crashed straight into a pole. Their truck was totaled, and was split right through the center, barely missing both of them. They were the only car within sight, so they were on their own to deal with the situation. Hunter was unconscious from the crash, and when Arika got herself out of the truck, she saw a man next to her with a white beard. He said an ambulance was on its way and that everything would be ok. In a flash, the man disappeared. Some say she was hallucinating, but she says, he was my guardian angel. Doctors were stunned to see that neither suffered serious damage, considering the car looked like it had been through a tree grinder. When they returned to the scene, they found Hunters bible open to a page that Arika says told them to not be afraid; Jesus is with us. I want everyone to to know the love and the power of God, she continued. He has a purposeand its so clear that NOTHINGnot even a car accident like this one will cause His plans for you to change. We are put on this beautiful earth for a reason and the reason is to help people know Him. We are made to show and share His love. And if it takes a car wreck like this for me to get to do that then I would do it all over again. Im praying that everyone who reads this can get a glimpse of Gods faithfulness. He is GOOD. And working. And the plans he has for YOU and your life arent going anywhere. We are thankful that God is good to us. Do you think this was a miracle by God? 
1	LAS VEGASThe Nevada Boxing Commission has pleaded not guilty for involvement in a fighting ring, which, according to the indictment, has been pitting trained fighters, or 'boxers,' in organized fights in which participants were routinely brutally injured. 'We would never, as the district attorney has accused us of doing, foster an environment where two men would stand toe to toe and mercilessly beat one another for the entertainment of others,' said lawyer Joshua Goodman in a statement read to a crowd of demonstrating human-rights activists outside Caesars Palace. 'We're not barbarians. We resent these accusations, and we particularly detest the implication that wagering on the health and well-being of these men ever took place.' Despite the statement, Goldenpalace.com has decided to remove its endorsements from the skin of boxers associated with the Commission. 
2	Donald Trump Talks To Paula Jones At Rally There is no doubt that Hillary Clintons campaign has shifted into panic mode. Not only did she lose in New Hampshire to Bernie Sanders, but now one of Bills former mistresses has come forward with her endorsement of Donald Trump. According to reports, Paula Jones was spotted talking to Trump after he delivered his speech in Arkansas. As Trump was greeting his fans, supporters began yelling Paula Jones in order to draw attention to her. I want a selfie, Jones told the GOP frontrunner. The interaction came just days after Jones went public in her endorsement of Trump. Im going to vote for the person who I think is best for our country and to get it back on track and the person who can be trusted, she commented. Somebody who is from the heart and is a truthful person and loves our country. What do you think of this interaction? Is this a total nightmare for Hillary Clinton?

2	Cops Told They Cant Sit At Booth... Stunned By What They See Waiting There When one family went out for a simple meal at a Texas Roadhouse, they noticed something incredibly strange. The family saw a single reserved table on a busy night. After seeing who the table was reserved for, the group was compelled to take a picture. The image that they snapped is now going viral on social mediaand its easy to see why. The reserved table was marked with patriotic flags, a white table cloth, and five place settings. Thank you Texas Roadhouse for remembering the #Dallas5 and preparing them a table tonight, the caption under the table read. Details about the incident remained unclear until it was shared widely on social media. What was immediately apparent was that the staff at Texas Roadhouse reserved one of their tables to honor the five fallen police officers killed in the Dallas sniper attack. This heartwarming gesture reflects a sentiment that this nation needs more of. It was a strong reminder that these officers will live on in the hearts and memories of Americans everywhere. 
3	Saying No To Vaccines Appears On The Daily ShowBy Heather Callaghan Her segment is actually with Samantha Bee, and her pro-vaccine opponent is the ubiquitous propagandist Dr. Paul Offit. Four-and-a-half hours of interview were carefully chiseled into a few minutes of carefully selected phrases. It took guts for Sarah to agree to share why she doesnt vaccinate. While there was a risk in being edited, national viewers were finally exposed to someone stating that herd immunity through vaccination is a myth. There was a clear bent against people who dont vaccinate, but in the end both sides were ridiculed. People who choose not to vaccinate can be from any ideology. Despite Offits anti-science comments, people who make the very personal decision to not jab dont just base it off of a few Google links, but carefully consider reviewed medical papers that arent sponsored by vaccine makers, either directly or indirectly. Also, you can visit the article I just linked to and see why its a myth that the advent of vaccines is what brought disease rates down in the U.S. Please read her behind-the-scenes storywhere she also discusses Offit and his Big Pharma monetary connections, and leave her some support. It takes courage to appear on national television to debate when theres a good chance for censorship and angles. Here is the vaccine segment that aired on June 2: Sarah wrote a book, just published: Medical terrorism at its finest 
3	Biometric Gunshot Surveillance Net Will I.D. Shooters in Real-Time Across AmericaBrandon Turbeville Now, programs have been developed that are able to detect gun shots from miles away in conjunction with high-resolution cameras and facial recognition software that allows for not only the location of the shots but the direct biometric identification of the shooter. Essentially, the new programs being prepared for implementation all over the country (and the world), are designed to detect gun shots from a remote location via acoustic sensors. When the gunshots are detected and located through a quick process of triangulation, a high-resolution camera is then used to photograph the shooters face, which is then processed through a biometric database to determine the persons identity. If the shooter is not yet enrolled in the police state database, the new technology can actually create a new record using the photograph. This new technology is a product of the partnership between at least two firms of the military-industrial complex that have been altered and retrofitted to appear as private industry for the domestic sector. These two firms Safety Dynamics and Airborne Biometrics Group (ABG) are thinly veiled creatures of the stampeding DARPA-style surveillance state and shadow government infrastructure now firmly in place the world over. The heart of the program centers around the combination of Safety Dynamics already operational gunshot detection software and ABGs FaceFirst facial recognition software. As Homeland Security Newswire writes, Individuals who fire weapons with criminal intent will now have to think twice now that Safety Dynamics Inc. and FaceFirst have decided to join forces. Working together, Safety Dynamics will combine its gunshot detection technology with FaceFirsts facial recognition capabilities to automatically identify a shooters face in real-time. Whenever Safety Dynamics acoustic ballistic sensors detect a shot it will automatically zero in on the exact location and direct a high-resolution camera to zoom in and capture the shooters face. At that point FaceFirsts software will run the shooters face against a biometric database to determine their identity or create a new facial record if they are unknown. For those who might be wondering about the source of the images contained in the biometric database that is referred to in the quote above, the answer is quite simple everywhere. Although it is well-known that the US government is attempting to establish (and probably already has established) a Total Information Awareness Network of surveillance on each and every American citizen, the fact is that this work has been largely done for them. This is because, in addition to programs like NGI, US-VISIT, IDENT, and S-COMM, photo identification requirements, airports, city streets, shopping centers, and other public sources of surveillance, voluntary facial photographs like those posted on dating sites, Facebook, and personal websites also make up a great deal of the images in the new biometric database to be accessed by the new software tag team. As GovTech.com writes, The technology necessary to perform facial recognition is cheaper and easier than every before, according to Facing Facts: Best Practices for Common Uses of Facial Recognition Technologies, a best practices guide released by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission that explores the possibilities that facial recognition technology can bring. According to the guide, a 2011 Carnegie Mellon study showed that researchers identified individuals in previously unidentified photos from a dating site by using facial recognition technology to match them to their Facebook profile photos. Facial recognition technology is indeed becoming much more affordable as are the technological capabilities to record, monitor, and store the digital, audio, and video data for literally every single American citizen as a report from the Brookings Institution entitled, Recording Everything: Digital Storage as an Enabler of Authoritarian Governments, has suggested. It should be noted, of course, that the FaceFirst software is especially designed to work in tandem with government lists. This much is stated clearly on the FaceFirst website which states, As individuals enter your facility, FaceFirsts high-speed face-tracking camera and proprietary software instantly detect and identify all known terrorists, felons and con artists on a customized database of local, state and federal agency lists. You can also add your companys internal databases of trespassers, fired employees and other persons of interest plus similar watch lists of other participating companies. Alerts are instantly sent as e-mail, SMS or MMS messaging) to the devices you specify cell phones or PDAs or computers so that your security staff can deny access to and/or detain the individual. You can also configure alerts to be automatically e-mailed to law enforcement authorities and/or key government officials. FaceFirst improves your security teams efficiency by sharpening their focus on prior offenders before they attempt to present bogus credentials harass staff or instigate an attack. Yet, the gunshot detection/facial recognition program is not something completely novel to the police state of America. Indeed, all across the country similar programs are being introduced and, in some locations, these types of technologies have already been in use for some time. Safety Dynamics has already been involved with many of just these types of programs. For instance, the SENTRI Gunshot Detection program, developed by Safety Dynamics, is actually used by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. The Safety Dynamics website describes how the program works by stating, If a shooter discharges a weapon inside the building, the SENTRI system will lock down all security doors to the bank, trapping the shooter inside. This SENTRI application demonstrates the significant value of gunshot detection for the purpose of asset protection for federal facilitiesboth indoors and outdoors. Admittedly, not a bad idea for high-security situations. That is, of course, unless you are unfortunate to be locked inside with the shooter. However, other applications for SENTRI are much more questionable in nature and much more conducive to outright police state mechanisms. Indeed, these programs have been rolled out onto city streets all over the country such as Baltimore, Baton Rouge, Tuscon, and Los Angeles. Again, one need only reference the website of Safety Dynamics to discover the basic justification and method of operation for the SENTRI Gunshot Detection programs. It states, State of the art technology that could play a huge role someday in fighting crime is in Tucson, AZ. Its called instant gunfire recognitionand this essentially is how it works: A shot is fired in a metropolitan area, within one second of the shooter pulling the trigger, microphones pick it up, a camera zooms in and authorities instantly have some idea who and what theyre dealing with. So in most cases, the shooter hasnt even begun to drop their arm yet and were already looking at the scene, said Wayne Lundeberg, Chief Operating Officer of Safety Dynamics: a Tucson-based company with gunshot detection technology in the US and Mexico. In relation to the programs use in Baltimore: City police hope they will one day have an easier time solving shootings with the help of new technology. The latest police tool to catch criminals is being tested on top of some blue light cameras. Its gunshot detection. The way the technology is designed is that the sensor would actually redirect the camera in the direction in which the shot sound came from, said Cheryl Goldstein with the Baltimore mayors office. Each sensor is supposed to be able to hear a gunshot within 600 feet. Thats about the distance from a blue light camera to one or two city blocks. For now there are two sensors installed in East Baltimore. The city is working with the vendor, Safety Dynamics, to make sure the system is worth the investment before buying anything. Johns Hopkins used a different vendor last year. What the city is looking for is a gunshot technology that can identify a gunshot, and will not alert when theres other noise. said Goldstein. So far the city says the two sensors are showing promise. Baton Rouge: The new gunshot detection units will allow Baton Rouge police to transport the crime prevention functions of SENTRI to areas of immediate need and special community events. Crime rates at Safety Dynamics installations typically fall 14% with the presence of the new technology and a 35% drop in shootings and calls to 911 are realized within weeks. The Baton Rouge Police like the idea of moving SENTRI to various locations in the city that are seeing high rates of crime and for local community events to increase public safety through the SENTRIs unmatched detection and localization of gunshots in less than one second. Los Angeles: Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton and other police officials gathered at a news conference to announce the completion of work to install Safety Dynamics SENTRI gunshot detection for urban crime prevention in the city of Compton. SENTRI units consisting of a camera and four microphones were scattered all over town a month ago, officials said. As soon as it hears shots fired, boom, the cameras turn, said sheriffs Lt. Scott Edson. The SENTRI unit is able to detect shots fired from within a quarter-mile radius and can even distinguish the type of rounds fired, said sheriffs Lt. David Telley. The unit employs neural networks, so it can listen for the temporal pattern of a gunshot and ignore similar sounds, like a bus backfire. The Sheriffs Department had tried similar technology, but Edson said the older equipment does not have cameras, only listening devices. Its going to be like another eye for us, which will help us apprehend any suspects, Deputy Tony Bowie said of the new technology. Similarly, another program related to gunshot detection that has gained much more attention in recent years is the Shotspotter technology. Shotspotter is yet another program designed to recognize gunshots and transmit the information recorded to law enforcement agencies. Shotspotter is not unique to major cities; however, as even smaller areas such as Rocky Mount, North Carolina are using the product. Obviously, it goes without saying that the technology comes at great cost to the average taxpayer. Of course, the programs mentioned above are not combined with facial recognition software. However, one of Safety Dynamics programs can be seen as a precursor to the partnership with ABG both in the sense that it was itself a partnership with another surveillance company as well as the fact that it also involved the combination of gunshot detection with surveillance cameras. This program is the partnership between Safety Dynamics and ELSAG North America, who manufactures high-resolution cameras with an impressive reading capacity for the photographs taken. ELSAGs cameras were combined with Safety Dynamics SENTRI gunshot recognition program and the combo is now being marketed to law enforcement agencies all across the country. None of the programs mentioned previously, however, are quite as advanced as the partnership between Safety Dynamics and ABG, the focus of this article. As previously stated, this program combines gunshot detection technology with both high-resolution cameras and facial recognition software to produce a surveillance net that is, at least currently, unparalleled in the United States. Unparalleled, at least, when compared to programs that have been officially admitted to being currently operational. Of course, one should not be surprised that the companies developing, manufacturing, and marketing the technology of control such as ABG, Safety Dynamics, and ELSAG North America are selling their country and their fellow citizens down the river. While money itself always provides enough of a motive for the majority of people to abandon what little sense of morality and freedom they have, the fact is that these companies are not basic free-market startup initiatives. In reality, they are as much a part of the military-industrial complex as DARPA and the US military itself. The only difference between corporations such as these and the Homeland Security/Shadow Government/Surveillance State establishment is that these companies masquerade under the cover of private enterprise. While they may be private ventures on paper, they are attached at the hip to the defense industry itself. For instance, Airborne Biometrics Group (ABG) is actually a spin-off corporation of Airborne Technologies, Inc. (ATI), a firm founded in 1980 as a defense contractor supplying aircraft structural parts to the U. S. government and other countries flying U.S.-manufactured aircraft. In 2003, ATI became a partner with Lockheed Martin, another giant of the military-industrial complex, solidifying its place as the first manufacturing licensee for Lockheed. Likewise, Safety Dynamics is also a player in the military industrial complex game. Safety Dynamics is not just involved with the development of technologies such as gunshot detection programs but also with projects involving the US Navy, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, and the University of Southern California Neuroscience program. Interestingly enough, Theodore W. Berger, co-founder of Safety Dynamics is also a biomedical engineering professor at USC as part of the Center for Neural Engineering and the Viterbi School of Engineering at USC. Berger was also the recipient of the Lockheed Senior Research Award and was co-editor of Toward Replacement Parts for the Brain: Implantable Electronics as the Next Era in Neural Prosthetics published in 2001. Berger was also involved in an experiment conducted conjointly between USC and Wake Forest University in which a brain implant was tested on rats with findings that revealed the implants could actually restore lost memories. Lastly, ELSAG North America is actually a subsidiary of Finmeccanica, an Italy-based company which is nonetheless a part of the military-industrial complex surveillance state defense contractor world. Finmeccanica describes itself as one of the worlds leading high-tech companies, operating in the design and manufacture of helicopters, defense electronics, civil and military aircraft, aerostructures, satellites, space infrastructures, and missiles. It plays a leading role in the European aerospace and defense industry and participates in some of the biggest international programs in the sector through well-established alliances with European and American partners. The entire world is fast reaching a point of do or die (literally) where the people who inhabit it will have to make some hard choices soon or they will be forever unable to do so.

1	In an unexpected turn of events that even his most ardent supporters are calling extremely ill-advised, President Obama, known for his simple yet stirring slogan 'Yes we can,' debuted a new, extremely annoying catchphrase Monday during an address on proposed economic policy reform, saying, 'It is time for America to move forward, not backwardand in conclusion, hot diggity ding dang!' The new catchphrase, White House officials announced, will replace the former slogan as the focal point of the president's public image effective immediately, and will be implemented in all appearances, official correspondence, and executive paperwork from now until at least mid-2012. Publicity materials featuring the wince-inducing phraseand picturing Obama smiling wildly and giving a double thumbs-up to the camerawere distributed this week to thousands of media outlets. 'We have no idea why he's chosen to do this,' said former Obama supporter Kyle Hammersley. 'It's unbelievably irritating.' 'Hot diggitty ding dang' was reportedly selected by Obama and his advisers from a final list of potential taglines that also included 'Hanker downsoup's on!' 'That's what the doctor told me!' and 'Mama mia, where's-a mah pizza?!' 
3	ISIS In Iraq To Be Used To Justify Invasion In SyriaBrandon Turbeville No sooner than this article was published did we see the first rumblings out of the Western mainstream media and government mouthpieces suggesting that a bombing campaign in Iraq and, indeed, Syria is an option that should be put on the table. Thus, as US fighter jets patrol the skies of Iraq, Western audiences are hearing familiar rumblings of reasons to engage in the bombing of both Iraq and Syria. Take, for instance, the article by Patrick Cockburn published in The Independent on June 19, 2014 entitled Iraq Crisis Exclusive: US Rules Out Military Action Until Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki Stands Down, where Cockburn argues the necessity of a series of airstrikes to be launched against both Iraq and Syria. Cockburn writes, Slaughters previous op-eds, of course, betray an underlying reason for her obsessive warmongering against Syria the strategic desire to weaken Russia. In this, Slaughter reveals herself as an adherent to the Brzezinski doctrine as it is espoused in The Grand Chessboard.[1] Even if Slaughter does not openly state her affinity for such a destructive and provocative foreign policy by name, her ideology is revealed by both her actions and her work. Indeed, in her April, 2014 op-ed for Project Syndicate, entitled Stopping Russia Starts In Syria, Slaughter is nothing if not obvious about her offensive geopolitical targeting of the Russian Federation as well as that of China and Japan. She writes that Slaughter essentially argues that Putin is much too strong to inflict damaging geopolitical costs in Ukraine. She suggests that Putin is much weaker in Syria, however, and, therefore, it is Syria where the United States must strike. Slaughter states, After repeating the tired, disproven, and borderline idiotic propaganda of Assads alleged chemical weapons attacks, killing his own people, and barrel bombs, Slaughter attempts to cover up what is nothing more than a geopolitical strategy as a humanitarian issue. Slaughter laments the fact that It is impossible to strike Syria legally so long as Russia sits on the United Nations Security Council, given its ability to veto any resolution authorizing the use of force. However, she continues her article by stating that the United States should act anyway, unilaterally or multilaterally, by striking Syria and, at the very least, destroying its fixed wing aircraft. Slaughter continues by writing Slaughter, of course, is angry that the incessant and nonsensical propaganda of her former office, the US State Department, and other Western governments across the world have largely failed to manufacture a string of lies that would serve to effectively motivate Americans to gear up for war yet again. So far, on this particular issue, American apathy has largely contributed to preventing a war. Unfortunately, with slightly more clever propaganda narratives, that apathy will easily be converted over to the benefit of the world oligarchy. Thus, while apathy may have prevented the desire for a fight the first time around, that same apathy may well serve to allow one the second. Notes: [1] Brzezinski, Zbigniew.

3	Video Shows American Soldiers Posing As Rebels, Fleeing Jihadists in SyriaBy Brandon Turbeville The video shows what appears to be American soldiers riding in the backs of white Toyota pickups leaving the area that Turkish troops, with FSA terrorists in tow, recently conquered from ISIS militants. While many of the reports suggest that the soldiers are fleeing the scene, the men in the footage seem incredibly nonchalant for those who are trying to escape. Instead, they seem calm, even waving at the FSA terrorists shouting abuse at them as they drive away. Other reports claim that the commandos entered the town of al-Rai, fighting alongside the Turks and FSA but were soon forced out by the terrorists. But, as mentioned, the Americans do not seem as if they are under attack but as if they are simply leaving the scene. As Raf Sanchez writes for the Telegraph, Video footage appears to show US commandos fleeing a Syrian town under a barrage of abuse and insults hurled at them by fighters from the American-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) rebel group. The video appears to be the first evidence of US special forces cooperating with Turkish troops in their battle against Islamic State (Isil). The incident illustrates the complex web of alliances and enmities in Syria, where many of Americas allies are fighting each other and some rebel groups that receive US support still harbour strong anti-American sentiments. The footage shows a crowd of rebel fighters in the town of al-Rai near the Turkish border, which was captured from Isil by Syrian rebel groups with the backing of Turkey. Turkey, which launched a military incursion into Syria in late August, has been backing the FSA. To be sure, the terrorists in the video are hurling insults at the soldiers. As Sanchez reports, Christians and Americans have no place among us, shouts one man in the video. They want to wage a crusader war to occupy Syria. Another man calls out: The collaborators of America are dogs and pigs. They wage a crusader war against Syria and Islam. RT reports similar verbal assaults. It writes, The footage shows a group of agitated men, gathered in the town square, shouting anti-American slogans in Arabic, as a cavalcade of vehicles passes by. The chants include: Down with America, Get out you dogs, and They are coming to Syria to occupy it. Voices in the background call the US troops pigs and crusaders. We dont want a single American fighting in Syria alongside us, says a man in the second video. We are Muslims, we are not infidels. Get out! Reuters cited a US official and a senior rebel commander, who confirmed that a protest had taken place, which ended with US troops making their way back towards the Turkish border. While much of the report is largely unsurprising, there are at least two points that must be mentioned. First, we now have visual evidence of the American military fighting alongside the Turkish military in its illegal invasion of Syria and the establishment of a buffer zone in the northern portion of the country. Obviously, this buffer zone is nothing more than a forward operating base for terrorists to launch attacks even deeper into Syria and Aleppo in particular. The U.S. has now provided the world with documented evidence of its direct involvement in creating this terrorist safe haven. Second, the United States also now has video footage proving that it has boots on the ground (despite the Obama regimes promise otherwise) fighting alongside terrorists in Syria. Although we have known since the beginning of the conflict that the United States Special Forces troops and intelligence agents were fighting alongside terrorists covertly, the recent footage now provides even more evidence in this regard. In addition, it shows that these American soldiers are acting as the terrorists and not only fighting beside them. One need only take a look at the men in the footage and see that they are dressed in American protective gear but not American uniforms. In fact, they are dressed the same as the FSA terrorists and operating FSA-style vehicles and guns. For all intents and purposes, these soldiers are posing as moderate rebels. After all, if moderate terrorists dont exist, you have to invent them literally. The Syrian crisis is thus now more than a mere proxy war against a sovereign state initiated by the United States and NATO. It is a cauldron of mutual and conflicting interests. At the heart of it, however, it should always be remembered that the initiator of aggression was the West who funded proxy terrorists to overthrow the legitimate and secular government of Bashar al-Assad for a wide array of political and geopolitical purposes. In addition to the immoral nature of the conflict to begin with, the U.S. must immediately end its involvement in the campaign to overthrow Assad in Syria before the hubris and psychopathic ruling elite manage to get everyone inside and out of the United States killed in the process.

Love all your comments on here. Tried to say thank you on another post but was listed as spam. Ya, ok. You are right on. Bless you. I just joined the spiderweb to comment on here after years of debating, ha, but had to tell u thnx, im learning even more from your comments. Been at it over 10 yrs things just start to blur u forget alot. Its nice to have someone with real knowledge refresh your memory. Hey, a big thank you, Terry, for your kind words. You made my day! As you can probably tell, I fear we are quickly running out of time and want to wake up as many people as possible while its still possible, otherwise, I wouldnt be anywhere near this active posting comments. What an interesting ride it has been, a little too interesting! Hope to see ya around. Regards, Blue Hocus Pocus we have met the enemy and they are us.

3	Skynet to Launch October, 2013Jack Mullen The stated purpose of the facility is to listen and decode all foreign communications of interest to the security of the United States. But in light of the recent revelations of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, the data center under construction in Utah is far more likely a tool of the United States Government (and its global masters) to collect unimaginable amounts of data on Americans and eventually every human on earth. In fact, as far back as the mid nineteen eighties, the NSA and other intelligences agencies created and controlled a secret computer monitoring operation in New Zealand and elsewhere called project ECHELON. With this so-called leak from Snowden, the public is now aware of something that has been going on for decades and, by now, would have already compiled billions of records about hundreds of millions of people in the America and the world. In fact this leak really doesnt provide a lot of new information, since we already knew The ECHELON system is not designed to eavesdrop on a particular individuals e-mail or fax link. Rather, the system works by indiscriminately intercepting very large quantities of communications and using computers to identify and extract messages of interest from the mass of unwanted ones. A chain of secret interception facilities has been established around the world to tap into all the major components of the international telecommunications networks. Some monitor communications satellites, others land-based communications networks, and others radio communications. ECHELON links together all these facilities, providing the US and its allies with the ability to intercept a large proportion of the communications on the planet. The data center, at a cost of $2 billion (but much higher, based on the cost of the technology already created to make this possible) is probably the outward tip of an iceberg to introduce and indoctrinate the public to something even worse than the news that every bit of human communication and knowledge is and has been recorded for decades. In terms of data storage, some publications suggest the data center will house digital storage capacities on the order of YottaBytes which is a number so large it is incomprehensible to the human mind. A Yottabyte is one septillion bytes or 10 to the 24th power bytes. Enough storage, indeed, to record and keep every single bit of human digital information; every phone call, text message, Internet chat, Email, song, word spoken, every book, bank account, all financial data, patents, stolen intellectual property, and more. With this amount of storage and more on the way, as the law of accelerating returns turns out denser and faster memory, the entire real-time movie of mankind can be recorded, analyzed and used, for what only the gods know. Cyberdyne Systems 2013 According to Ray Kurzweil, the geek poster boy of transhumanism, in his 1999 prophecy and transhumanistic bible entitled When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence: The Age of Spiritual Machines, the above average human brain operates or process approximately 20 million billion calculations per second, in other words 20,000 trillion calculations per second. In the article linked below, the NSA Supercomputer Titan, coincidentally is advertised to operate at 20,000 trillion calculations per second. Furthermore, Kurzweil explains that in addition to computing power, a human-like sentient computer would also have to have at least as much memory as the current state-of-the-art human being, which he calculates to be about 1 million billion bits or a 1000 trillion bits: and since a byte is 8 bits and kilobyte is 1024 bytes, that works out to approximately 122 terabytes or 122,000 gigabytes. According to the article above, the memory available to Titan is on the order of at least 5 Zettabytes or 5 trillion gigabytes, which is enough memory to incorporate 41 MILLION HUMAN BRAINS. According to the original Terminator movie timeline, Skynets technology was built and began deployment in 1994 (no doubt an Orwell wink, as a Terminator robot is sent back to 1984 to stop the birth of JC not Jesus Christ, but John Connor), and on August 4, 1997 the machine went online. Learning geometrically, the machine became sentient at 2:14 AM, 25 days later on August 29, 1997. The new real-life NSA supercomputer, called Titan, is named after a race of gods created from descendants of Earth and Uranus, hybrids, immortal, of great strength of body and mind and rulers of Earth; it was the Titan Prometheus who created man from clay and theft of fire. The Titan Supercomputer, with enough computing power and infallible memory to become sentient, will come online in October, 2013 and, like Skynet, will it begin to learn? With the brain capacity of 41 million human minds and all of the data and information about billions of human beings this machine could become quite powerful very quickly. With connections to satellites and every major power and command center on earth and the knowledge base of nearly every human mind in the written history of mankind all written knowledge: we can only imagine the possibilities. Human Epitaph According to Kurzweil, the current human biological evolutionary path to knowledge is bottlenecked by brain speed limits and memory capacity: The brains weakness is the extraordinarily slow speed of its computing medium, a limitation that computers do no share with us. For this reason, DNA-based evolution will eventually have to be abandoned. * With the arrival of Titan, the latest and greatest model of a co-evolving machine-based life, the technology now exists to eradicate all human privacy. This is a very big event in human history, one that would require a book to explore, but I am going to venture a few reasons why it will become the bifurcation point in the race of the man versus the machine. Privacy also includes privacy of thought; technology permitting direct measure and prediction of thought is now being successfully deployed. [*] Privacy is a uniquely human idea and experience and I would argue necessary for human evolution and growth as a species of individuals seeking an individual experience with paths to personal growth, sprirtualism and self actualization. Without privacy, what is a individual? He or she is a forgone conclusion, a worker bee, a drone or, using a Star Trek analogy, a Borg. Without privacy, human development, personality, strengths, appearance and characteristics will become uniform and monotonous. Without privacy, there will eventually be no concept of private property and its accumulation toward expressions of sudden knowledge bursts and improvement via repeated struggle of human minds seeking to solve problems benefiting the individual and species. Without private property, there can be no Liberty by definition. Liberty is the freedom of will to choose and do individual things, think individual thoughts and express oneself individually, concomitantly where news and knowledge of these expressions is always derivative, never before the fact. Without privacy, I would argue much of mankind will make his last act of individualism and choose not to live, because privacy is the oneness, the aloneness that defines the I in I am alive. Mankind 2.0 The technocrats expect standard wetware human beings to become drones, slaves, relegated to the toy closest of wealthy gods looking for interesting gifts for their children. But I think humanity is still possessed of something the gods of the machine have failed to recognize in their haste to end the individual and build a collective hive minded, data sharing, alpha Borg. Quantum Minds and Spiritual Entanglements Thinkers such as John Searle have made arguments that Artificial Intelligence is only a useful tool in the study of mind and no matter how quickly, or massively parallel, these Strong Calculators perform algorithms and mathematical calculations without the ability to ever understand they can only simulate the operation of the mind. Summarizing Searle and others such as John McCarthy, the inventor of the term Artificial Intelligence: Another scientist and writer versed in multiple disciplines is Roger Penrose, English mathematical physicist, recreational mathematician and philosopher. Starting with Gdels incompleteness theorem and working through some advanced mathematics, Penrose concludes the human mind is not a Turing Machine because, if it were, the mind would be hobbled by Gdelian limitations.[*] Penrose postulates that since Gdelian impossible problems require an infinite number of calculations, the human mind goes around this Gdelian Bottleneck using quantum computing, a method of solving problems of the type requiring a large number, or even an infinite number of calculations. Quantum computers, that have been already built using human DNA as the processor, instantly distill a large number of calculations into a result by actually turning an infinite time into a finite time[**] Beyond the abstract arguments couched in obscurity of abstruse mathematics is the question of life from a spiritual point of view. The idea that human beings are more than a meat sack benefiting from an evolved, 3 pound, wet-working, DNA based, sugar-powered parallel processor. Many people see the human body as the seat of a soul, a higher being condensed into a suitable shell, enjoying a spectacularly human experience as part of an immortal sequence of an infinite number of lifetimes. The evidence of what Lawrence LeShan called the Clairvoyant Reality and Transpsychic Reality seems to indicate the human mind is also connected to a higher order of consciousness, something connecting all life, perhaps all life in the Universe. Dr. LeShan and others have used altered states of consciousness to discover information and to affect changes in our reality including healing of others through psychic connections, that cannot be explained using models based on algorithms and Turing machines. Humans possess a DNA-based genetic blueprint capable of storing massive amounts of data, at least 700 Terabytes per gram of DNA is the current estimate. Additionally, the human brain appears to contain a light-sensitive receiver capable of detecting light even in total darkness, the Pineal gland. The Pineal gland structure and the structure of DNA suggest that both may have properties of a receiving antenna, capable of receiving and transmitting electromagnetic information. These discoveries and the lack of information about how that brain/mind organ actually works, mean that the human evolution/spiritual path my have yet much to reveal. Perhaps expanded consciousness and more directed use of dormant DNA will lead to a biological human 2.0, given time. Collectivisms Final Frontier Machines, according to Kurzweil would only require one working unit to populate their entire kind a single machine life-form could then clone and copy data to others; instantly the new machines would have access to all the knowledge of their ancestor. Machines can readily share all of their accumulated knowledge, so only one machine has to do the learning. [*] Humans on the other hand must learn via a slow and arduous process and, at the same time, suffer the loss of memory and incorporate detriments of an aging body. The advantages of instantly sharing, copying and cloning information among artificially intelligent entities are, however, inconsistent with individuality and novelty. Humans beings are individuals, experiencing an individual life; contributing to the collective lives of others only as required for optimum survival of the individual and hence the species. Individuals are required to produce and populate the species and distinctive characteristics evolve by natural selection and the nature of the spawned individual, which introduces novelty and unexpected consequences and the uniqueness of an individuals experience. Data sharing, cloning and copying are schematic code for uniformity and a singular experience. Creating life based on sharing and copying are consistent with Collectivism, a paradigm used to conform and transform individuality into uniformity and consistent with the known consequences of generational incest. Kurzweil and global elite expecting to somehow breakaway from their humanity and merge with the machine resulting in both immortality and access to infinite knowledge must also understand it is the nature of collectivism to reduce complexity in the pursuit uniformity. Collectivism favors the collectors; any systems involving sentient life must also include a hierarchy of interests with rules of survival dictating use of resources. Kurzweil and company may find themselves trapped in their own collective, prisoners of immortality and numbed down by monotony. In the words of the Borg: We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.[*] Revolution 2.0 Now is the time self-actualized, spiritually enlightened individuals demand and, if necessary, fight to remain private beings, living and growing and experiencing our unique and distinctive private lives. It is time to erase and reboot the techno-civilization that is exponentially accelerating toward collectivisms final frontier; take down systems designed to destroy privacy, collect data and redistribute self-responsibility. For humans a life of self-responsibility is the means to remain human. We are individuals and as such responsible for and benefit from our uniqueness and the resulting control over destiny. We are not a means to some others ends, but rather an end in ourselves.

3	The Revolution is NOT About Ron PaulMilo Nickels, Contributor I immediately felt like Id been simultaneously kicked in the gut, stabbed in the back, and sold down the river. Yes, the endorsement made me angry. The realization that Ron Paul, himself, must have given his blessing to the endorsement made me feel ill. I scoured the Internet looking for answers to some burning questions. Why did Rand Paul endorse Romney? Have they made some shady backroom deal? Was Ron Paul in on it? Had I been played for a fool? Have I been wrong all along? Although I havent found the answers to those specific questions, Ive found something far more valuable. Ive found that the liberty movement is still going strong. I am not alone and neither are you. The blogosphere is ablaze with negative talk of Rand Paul and Ron Paul, calling them sell-outs, traitors, and con-men. And, like it or not, this is a very good thing. At first, Ill admit, it broke my heart to see widespread negativity about the Pauls who I had come to view as champions of liberty. But Ive gained a new perspective. As far as champions of liberty go, the champions arent nearly as important as the liberty! Yes, we may feel betrayed, but we must never forget the lessons weve learned from Ron Paul about individual liberty, personal responsibility, sound money, cooperation, property rights, charity, and voluntarism. We dont believe in these concepts because Ron Paul believes in them, but because they are true. Ron Paul will always be a hero in the freedom movement for shining a light on these issues. So I dont care if Rand Paul endorses Mitt Romney. I will continue to endorse liberty. I dont care if Ron Paul concedes defeat. I will continue fighting for victory. The Ron Paul revolution is NOT about Ron Paul. The revolution is about liberty. Ron Paul is only one man. You are the revolution. You can support this information by voting on Reddit HERE.

2	BREAKING: Obama To Use Executive Action To Reverse Hobby Lobby Decision Recent reports claim that President Obama is already trying to decide whether or not he will use executive action in the Supreme Court ruling against a contraception mandate required by Obamacare. Democrats have already voiced their opposition to the ruling. They claim it is a part of the GOPs attack on abortion rights. According to the Hill, In a 5-4 decision in the case generally known as Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby, the court ruled that closely held companiesthose that are owned and controlled by a very small number of peopleare covered by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) which guarantees that the government shall not substantially burden a persons exercise of religion. Now, it appears the Obama is deciding whether or not he will act unilaterally to get the final word on the matter.

1	Snack manufacturer Nabisco announced Tuesday its tentative decision to add hummus to its list of approved Ritz cracker toppings, temporarily granting the chickpea-based spread the same status accorded to garnishes such as summer sausage and tomato wedges. 'At this time, we believe it is in our best interests to move forward with a trial period to assess the value of hummus as a flavorful complement to our line of Ritz products,' said Nabisco spokesman Dale Reinert, who demurred when asked whether the topping might one day supplant peanut butter as the preferred filling in sandwich crackers. 'Following an 18-week evaluation, we will determine whether a renewal of hummus' certification is warranted.' Tuesday's long-awaited announcement ends months of speculation that began last year when Nabisco parent company Kraft Foods invested heavily in sesame-oil futures.

2	What Hypocritical Michelle Is Filling White House Vending Machines With As if we need another reason to believe the Obamas are hypocritical, yet another example of their belief that the rules dont apply to them has come to the surface. We know that while Michelle Obama has been strictly enforcing her school food programs, shes been eating meatball subs and other foods that dont fall under the strict requirements. Now, weve discovered that the White House vending machines are full of junk foodincluding a 590 calorie Jumbo Honey Bun. Its interesting that she has not enforced the same restrictive guidelines she has subjected our youth to in her own home. Perhaps she is afraid that White House staff will react the same way schools are to the harsh rules and increased costs. What do you think of this new evidence? Does Michelle need to start practicing what she preaches? 
1	In a major step toward establishing a more 'soothing and peaceful' U.S. economy by Fiscal Year 1998, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan announced yesterday that he will make the prime lending rate undulate relaxingly, moving back and forth in a restful, wavelike motion. Noting the severely jarring ups and downs that have characterized the nation's economy over the last 18 months, Greenspan told a meeting of the House Ways and Means Committee: 'We will manipulate the money supply in such a way that Americans feel as though they are being pleasantly lofted on a gentle ocean wave, up and down, up and down, crest following trough and trough following crest, over and over and over, until they are floating rhythmically, happily, dreamily, on an undulating sea of economic prosperity.' Said noted Harvard University economist Laurence Stockbridge: 'Ahhhhhh.' If successful, Greenspan's fiscal policy should greatly increase the soothing, stress-reductive and pleasantly rocking qualities of our nation's economic graphs, and also significantly reduce sensations of grating, annoying or shrill alarmism on the part of economists themselves, long considered to be one of America's leading causes of hypertension and migraine headache pain. Greenspan's announcement was greeted by bipartisan enthusiasm. 'In the past four years, I believe the U.S. has made strong economic progress,' President Clinton said. 'I do admit, however, that much of this progress has been attained in a somewhat rough, herky-jerky fashion. Mr. Greenspan's plan should help make the U.S. economy once again the world's most restful.' House Ways and Means Committee Chair Thomas Ronson (R-PA) also praised the new policy, saying it will 'no doubt 'take the edge off,' removing a lot of those jagged, pointy lines, the ones with all the sharp peaks and valleys, from our nation's graphs.' By and large, Wall Street analysts are expressing pleasant sensations of muscular relaxation at the Fed's move, as well. Ted Danziger, Economic Policy Analyst for Merrill Lynch, said yesterday that the shift in policy is 'already having a strong effect, especially down there in the lumbar region... Oooh, yeah, right there. Yessssss.' Greenspan explained that his plan, which will involve a regular, waterbed-like vibration of currency issuance and lending rates, was inspired by Japanese economist Tokuba Mashimoto, who told him Japan's success was 'due to the incorporation of restful shiatsu techniques in national fiscal policy.' Mashimoto also strongly advised Greenspan to take deep breaths and exhale slowly, and cited reclining in a prone position with gentle caressing from a loved one or professional prostitute as a 'particularly effective economic policy.' 
2	Muslims Everywhere Are Furious After Conservative Alliance Makes HUGE Stand Against Shariah Law According to recent reports from Western Journalism, a Conservative Coalition has been working to prevent Islamic Shariah Law from spreading across America. Shortly after reports confirmed the establishment of the first Islamic tribunal, a group of conservative activists pulled together in an alliance determined to ban any form of foreign law from being observed in an American courtroom. The organization, called Ban Sharia Law, seeks to build awareness about the dangers that the United States is currently facing. Although we believe Shariah law is currently posing the biggest threat to infiltrating our legal system, a notice of the website reads, most of the states whove successfully passed legislation didnt actually mention Shariah law directly. This was intentional to squash the counter efforts by organizations like the Council on American-Islamic Relations. The successful legislation was crafted towards the restriction of all foreign/international law. The statement is complete with an interactive map showing which states have already passed laws to protect against Shariah. The site also features links to stories and videos of Shariah laws impact on the world. Finally, the site asks anyone oppose to the beliefs associated with Shariah to join in on their mission. What do you think of the efforts?

The meeting was symbolic for many reasons, but primarily because the two men have both come together in the fight against ISIS. The United States once held a strong relationship with Israel, but that is quickly dwindling at the hands of President Obama. Now, it appears that these two leaders are moving on without America. America was once thought of as a leader, but the world is getting sick of standing by and waiting for us to take action. What do you think? Do we need a real leader in the White House?

She was responding to the draw Muhammad event, where two suspects were fatally shot for attending the cartoon contest. Reports indicate that a recruiter for the Islamic State may have been in contact with one of the individuals ahead of the incident.

3	Youve met Edward Snowden...Now Meet Jeffrey SilvermanJanet C. Phelan Other whistleblowers and journalists have not been so fortunate. Enter Jeffrey Silverman Silverman, who was born in Washington DC and served in the US Army prior to receiving an MS in Agricultural Development/International Development, had been living in the Republic of Georgia since 1991. He has done in-depth investigative reporting on chemical and biological weapons, the alleged murder of the former Georgian Prime Minister Zurab Zhvania and on black torture sites in the former Soviet Union. Silverman, who also writes under the name Joni Simonishvili, had been working on articles concerning covert US support for the Chechen rebels when he made a trip back to the US in 2004 to visit family. To his amazement, he was charged with failure to pay child support in Kentucky. Silverman states that he had been paying support for years without a court order. After a Kentucky judge ordered his passport seized and turned over to authorities due to the alleged non-payment of support, a Virginia judge subsequently reversed the order and gave Silverman back his travel documents. Silverman had flown back to Georgia and was on a working trip to Azerbaijan to submit an article in Baku when he was picked up on orders of the US Embassy, beaten badly and his passport again seized. The US Embassy then issued a document to Silverman stating that he is an alien. He was offered a trip back to the US under alien status but instead of accepting a tainted offer, Silverman jumped the border from Azerbaijan into Georgia. There are strict laws governing the revocation of an individuals citizenship. A US native born citizen cannot have his citizenship revoked unless he commits an expatriating act, such as serving in an army at war against the US. No such terms, however, apply to Jeffrey Silverman. The FBI subsequently paid a visit to Silvermans sons mother, Donna Evans. She wrote: I had two FBI agents visit me at my job in Kentucky. One was Detective Greg Wolf and the other was Mr. Steve Auvenshine. They came to my work site and told me they were investigating you but wouldnt tell me why. They asked numerous questions about you and what you did for a living. They showed me a picture of you and asked if it was you. They asked me questions about how we met, where you have lived, where you were born, who your parents were and what did they do for a living, whether they were still alive or not, what countries you had visited, what languages you spoke, how long you had visited each country, what religion you practiced and if you had ever been in the military. I asked them why they were asking so many questions about you but they would not say. I think they already knew all the answers to all the questions they asked me; I think they just wanted to see if I would verify what they knew. They also wanted me to send all the e-mails that you had sent me to them. Bourbon County [the local authority] said that they were already sending all the e-mails they receive from you to the US State Department. The State Department declined to comment on Silvermans citizenship, as did DHS and the DOJ. Following the beating in 2004, Silverman was again detained in 2005. According to Silverman, The police kidnapped me off the street in the middle of the day and took me to the Georgian Office of Counterintelligence and beat me.Embassy staff were waiting in the other room and when done, they came and asked if I needed any help in returning to the US. It so happens that the agent involved, Bryan Paarmann, is the same agent involved in the alleged murder cover up of the Georgian PM, Zurab Zhvania. Someone else who was impacted by the mounting concerns about the nature of Jeffrey Silvermans journalism was Silvermans friend, Vahktang Maisaia, who served as counselor at the Georgian mission in NATO in 2004-2008. Maisaia writes of events that took place in May of 2009: I was tortured and subjected to mock execution at the building two days later. I was accused in having relations initially with NATO special services, Slovak Republic military intelligence service and later on they extended the link with Russian Federation Intelligence Service (I quoted word-by-word the name of the Russian service why because the service with such name does not exist at all even in accordance to the Russian Federation laws). It is long too history how well my case has been rigged but regarding Jeffrey I had to confess that in one of the night illegal interrogation session usually started at 6.00 PM till 6.00 AM by the Counter-Intelligence Department two teams almost every days since May 8th till June 23 of 2009 at Gldany prison #8), Otar Ordzhonikidze and his staff-member Data Datashvili and Valerian Zumbadze personally interested in Jeffrey Silvermans personality and background, they tortured me in order to gain his contact points and whereabouts at that time in order to seize him in abduction manner, like death squadron way and execute him in somewhere unknown place because of his foreign citizenship and his popularity abroad (how they claim to me). Another assault on Jeffrey Silverman in 2011 made the evening news in Tbilisi.Silverman has plates in his head from one of his beatings. Jeffrey Silverman is now essentially a stateless person. Silverman states he has sought assistance from Reporters without Borders as well as the Committee to Protect Journalists. CPJ did not respond to inquiries from this reporter as to that organizations refusal to address Silvermans plight. It is known in journalistic circles that the agencies pledged to protect press rights generally turn a blind eye to assaults on US journalists doing adversarial reporting. Silverman is currently the Georgia Bureau Chief for Veterans Today and teaches in Tbilisi.

1	In a race against time, local emergency crews reportedly rushed to rescue Italian figure skater Carolina Kostner Wednesday after the Olympian plunged through a hazardous thin patch of ice during her short program at the Iceberg Skating Palace. Unfortunately she skated way out into the middle of the rink where the ice was weak and it collapsed instantly when she landed her triple axel, said rescue worker Ignativ Barkov, adding that Kostner ignored the sounds of cracking ice while performing an otherwise flawless step sequence and combination spin. We have to act fast or shell succumb to hypothermia. Granted, a world-class athlete like Kostner can withstand the initial shock for a few minutes, but her thin, sparkly leotard will do little to protect her from the deep and frigid water below the ice. At press time, crews were attempting another dive after initial efforts had only managed to recover a sequined headband and several loose rhinestones.

3	Parents May Face Jail For Having Swing Set on Their PropertyBy Lou Colagiovanni Leading the charge against the familywhich has been ongoing for over a yearis the most dubious of opponents: The Raintree Lake Property Owners Association. The claim against the family swing set is that it infringed on HOA guidelines, which specifically state that play equipment must be subdued and within harmony with other colors of the community. Lets note, for the record, that the definition of harmony is suspiciously missing from the HOAs guidelines. Marla Stout, speaking for her family, said the dispute originally began over the color of the swing set, which was red. That color was deemed not in harmony by the HOA, and the Stout family was fined. They fought the HOA on that charge and the decision was reversed. To compromise, the family changed the color to purple, which also failed to appease the HOA. It went on to threaten further legal action. According to local KMBC.com, Marla Stout says she received documents from a law firm representing the HOA that said if we didnt remove the swing set from the subdivision in a couple of weeks, we go to jail. Neither the Stout family nor the The Raintree Lake Property Owners Association has elaborated on the particular charge that would apply. One could theorize that it may be related, at least in some way, to being held in contempt. Lets play this scenario out to its finality and assume that one or both parents winds up jailed over this trivial matter. What, then, would become of the children? Would they be in the custody of Missouris Child Protective Service? And for how long? Who in that association can believe the prudent action to take is to threaten a family with criminal penalties over a lousy swing set?

Theyve turned into totalitarian regimes A nation of sheep always brings about a government of wolves. This growing trend is becoming rampant in all aspects of our lives. A people deserve any regime they endure. Beat the crap out of these Nazis, and it would stop real fast! And so you see the UNs AGENDA 21 at workat the local level, just as they deemed was necessary. You see this with building inspectors, conservation authorities, school authorities, senior driver dementia testing, medical/pharma elimination of natural therapies and remedies, etcprivate property, personal liberties, freedomsall eliminated by bureaucrats trained by the UN to undermine the Constitution of democracies to bring them in line with One World Order. Its all in writing under UN Agenda 21 and UN Sustainable Development for those who still insist all this is a conspiracy theory. You got it! What color does the HOA want it painted? They want it painted in a light unobtainium Property Owners Associations, a.k.a. Homeowners Associations, have been around for a long time. If you dont want to follow their rules and guidelines, dont buy property where there are those types of associations. If no one buys property where property owners associations exist, eventually there will be a lot of empty houses! come on now who gone enforce that And things just keep getting worse in the land of the lmao free. 
3	WI Police Chief Thinks Guns as Dangerous as Ebola, Wants Voluntary Home Searches as a VaccineBrandon Turbeville In America, the confusion and befuddlement of the general public as a result of incessant propaganda and insidious entertainment has taken so much hold that, not only has there been an onslaught of gun laws and non-profits demanding them, but there are also backdoor attempts by law enforcement and government agencies to take those guns from the hands of the American people while they are quite warm and alive. Most of these attempts are met with very little resistance. For instance, only a matter of weeks ago, I wrote an article regarding an attempt by Buffalo police to confiscate guns of deceased permit holders during their time of grief. Now, however, a new contender for the silliest attempt at disarming Americans comes from the Beliot Police Department in Beliot, Wisconsin. This is because the Beliot Police Department is encouraging citizens to call in and allow officers to search their homes for guns that might be there unbeknownst to the owners. While one may be tempted to laugh at the BPDs attempt to portray guns as having the mental acumen of brown recluse spiders entering the home, hiding away, and waiting for the time to strike Police Chief Norm Jacobs attempt to portray guns as being as dangerous as Ebola is just as funny. That is, funny if it were not actually serious. Gun violence is as serious as the Ebola virus is being represented in the media, and we should fight it using the tools that weve learned from our health providers, he told Wisconsin Public Radio. Jacobs wants people to think about gun violence as an infectious disease like Ebola, and a home inspection like a vaccine to help build up the citys immune system. At this point, anyone with two functioning brain cells will either burst into a fit of laughter or let out an involuntary sigh at Jacobs statement. Indeed, Jacobs metaphors and analogies are so mixed up and the chasm between his logic and reality is so wide that one can scarcely take him or his statement the least bit seriously. Except, of course, Jacobs is serious. In 2014, this level of respect for American rights is what typifies the average law enforcement official or government office holder. In 2014, such ridiculous statements are made by those who are supposed to be the cream of the crop and entrusted with such important responsibilities as that of Police Chief. Nevertheless, Jacobs said that he hopes citizens will voluntary agree to the searches and they will result in the discovery of guns they didnt know were in their own homes. He also stated that he believes there is a chance the officers will find guns linked to crimes in the homes. He did not state why he believes an individual who has a gun in his house that has been used to commit a crime would voluntarily allow the police to search his home for guns. Nor did he explain what would happen if a gun was used in a crime, discovered in a home, and the homeowner subsequently claims he has no idea how the gun ended up there. Will the homeowner be prosecuted? Will the crime be overlooked? Is either option fair? It has long been said that it is better to say nothing and be thought a fool that to open ones mouth and remove all doubt. Chief Jacobs has apparently never heard this statement. This much is clear since he continued even further to state that Maybe well find a toy gun thats been altered by a youngster in the house and we know the tragedies that can occur there on occasion. Really? An altered toy gun? Who are these children that are turning plastic toys into real weapons? They should immediately be located and given engineering scholarships. We all know the tragedies that can occur there on occasion? Like what? So far, besides a choking hazard for children under two, the only tragedies that can occur from toy guns are being murdered by the police. Such was the case for 12-year-old Tamir Rice who was murdered by Cleveland police for holding a toy gun. It should be clear that Chief Jacobs is not a gunophobe, however. As Kristan T. Harris of the Rundown Live has reported, Beliot Police Department is the proud owner of a Bearcat (PAC), tank, and robot. In addition to all the other military hardware the BPD possesses, the department has also deployed Shot spotter a gun shot location device in the city of Beloit.

1	The NBA Finals have thrown the nation's basketball fans into a state of angry confusion this week, as the bitter debate over whether they despise the Celtics or Lakers more rages on. 'Kobe is such an egotistical prick that it's really easy to detest the Lakers, especially with that clenched-jaw face he makes, but come onyou have to hate the Celtics because the Big Three are so much more fucking annoying,' said Jeff Connor, a St. Louis native. 'I'll admit that I can't stand Pau Gasol, just because the guy rubs me the wrong way, maybe due to his disgusting greasy hair. Phil Jackson is a pretty huge asshole with all that loud whistling he does, but Rondo is the most irritating little shit, and I loathe that fat sweaty hog Glen Davis. Ray Allen is actually okay. That dick Kevin Garnett, though, is a chest-pounding idiot.' After much discussion, a consensus appears to be near, as Americans are agreeing to hate the Lakers and Celtics equally. 
1	Saying the team has benefited from a number of crucial offseason pickups, members of the Houston Texans expressed confidence to reporters Monday that they now have the right pieces in place to make a deep preseason run. Weve had our struggles before, but now that weve filled out the roster a bit, I think we have what it takes to go all the way in the preseason, said Texans running back Arian Foster, pointing to such recent squad additions as starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and safety Kendrick Lewis, both of whom Foster insisted would help the Texans do some serious damage during games in August. We might have our share of doubters, but everyone here is tuning that stuff out and focusing on one thing: winning in the preseason. Honestly, if we can get hot and live up to our potential, I wouldnt be surprised if we went 4-0 this year. Foster went on to boldly claim that the Texans will be especially dangerous late in preseason games, when opposing teams are primarily fielding second and third stringers. 
1	In an impromptu conversation held in the elevator of your office building Monday, coworker Andrew Pagano announced that he had a dream about you the previous night. In the moments following the announcement, Pagano added that he 'just thought you'd find that funny' before assuring you that the dream wasn't what you're thinking. Pagano describes his 'completely plantonic' dream. 'I just thought it was weird, just because you and I have been working so many hours together on this Hendricks account, and now you're popping up in my dreams,' said Pagano, chuckling nervously and taking a single step back. 'Ha, no, totally G-rated.' He then issued a number of additional statements in rapid succession, confirming that you had all your clothes on, the dream was really short, and it was actually one of those dreams where no one has faces. Upon reaching the door to your office, witnesses said, he playfully slugged you on the shoulder and walked back to his cubicle. According to company records, Pagano graduated from Pennsylvania State University in 1991 with a degree in marketing, and since May 2005 has worked in your office as a senior account manager. In the past three years, he has had an estimated 18 separate dreams featuring you; however, this is the first time the 39-year-old has acknowledged one publicly. 'Really, I have dreams about people from work all the time,' Pagano said less than an hour later, when he returned to your desk to reiterate the complete lack of erotic undertones in his dream. 'It wasn't like that. My friend Paul was there, too.' 'Besides, it's not like I can control what I dream or anything,' he continued. 'Not that you needed controlling in it. It'sdo you dream a lot, too?' Despite your assurances that everything was fine and that you were not mad, just working, Pagano persisted in his attempts to convince you of the dream's innocence by describing what you both were doing in the dreamworking together at a Baskin-Robbinsand questioning how logical it would be to tell you about a dream if it were a sex dream. 'Don't worry, if I ever had a dream where you and I were you know, like that, I'd keep it to myself,' Pagano said. 'Not that it has happened. Because it hasn't. Because if it had, I'd tell you now, obviously. Because, you know, I brought it up, and, yeah.' He then attempted to change the subject to last week's staff meeting with CFO Mark Gentry, but, after several moments, abandoned the new conversational direction to clarify that it wasn't because you're not a very attractive woman. 'I really got to cut out the spicy foods before bedtime, is what it is,' Pagano said. 'I've been having the craziest dreams ever since my divorce.' You have not spoken to Pagano since he coincidentally ran into you in the parking garage after work, but sources report he is expected to 'make it up to you' tomorrow at lunch, when he drives across town and purchases you a cookie from your favorite bakery. 
2	Tim Allen Obliterates Obama On National Television [VIDEO] As President Obama continues to act unilaterally and go against the will of Congress, he is slowly but surely losing support from Hollywood liberals. The latest actor to speak out against the President is Tim Allen from Home Improvement. Allen has some serious questions (as we all do) about the Benghazi scandal. According to TPNN, in Allens latest TV series Last Man Standing he takes several obvious jabs at the left. And on the recent finale, Allens character is shown taking some direct pokes at the president. Its called integrity, Allens character says. Something Obama doesnt have with that Benghazi thing. Allen later appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote the show, and filmed a clip of himself crouching next to his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. You can sleep anywhere in Los Angeles, the actor remarks. Because were kind of a socialist state, if you sleep on the street out here and you stay long enough, they start giving you free stuff. You get a cellphone, Birkenstocks, cargo shorts, and if you stay long enough, you get a free Tesla. The audience can be heard audibly laughing throughout the clip. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	Steeling himself for the long journey ahead, local man and father of three John Cantrell reportedly bid a tearful farewell to his family Thursday, expressing good wishes to his loved ones prior to the commencement of the 2013 NFL season. Deborah, kids, it looks like Ill be going away for a while, said Cantrell, adding that, following the kickoff of the season-opening matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and the Denver Broncos, his family wouldnt see or be able to contact him for the next five months. I know its going to be tough, but, hey, Ill be back before you know it. Now dont you cry, Josh. Youre the man of the house now. I need you to watch out for your mom and sisters, okay? God, I love you all so much. As in past years, depending on the performance of the St. Louis Rams this season, sources noted that Cantrell might actually return to his family in as little as eight weeks. 
1	Describing the sickening sight and stench of the carcasses that have become a constant presence around the clubhouse, members of the Chicago Cubs admitted to reporters Tuesday that they have become increasingly unnerved by third baseman Kris Bryants repeated attempts to break the teams so-called Curse of the Billy Goat by slaughtering goats. I know he thinks hes doing it all for the team, but his fixation with finding and killing all of these goats is starting to get out of control, said first baseman Anthony Rizzo, adding that Bryant, who has killed an estimated 30 goats since the playoffs began, has disgusted teammates with rituals that include sprinkling powdered goat horn inside the batters box and storing severed goat heads in the dugouts helmet rack. Its kind of scary how seriously he takes it, like the way he freaks out whenever he cant find his goat bone necklace or whenever somebody interrupts him while hes disemboweling a calf in the clubhouse. He even dipped everyones socks in goats blood before last nights game, and then after we won, he said he had to go blow up a goat in his backyard to make sure we clinch the series. This man needs help. At press time, sources confirmed that the Wrigley Field grounds crew was scrambling to remove a decapitated goat dangling from the right field Jumbotron before Game 4 of the NLDS. 
3	Is President-Elect Donald Trump Reneging Even Before Inauguration?Op-Ed by Catherine J. Frompovich If you listened to the 60 Minutes Leslie Stahl interview of President-elect Donald J. Trump, Sunday, November 13th, you probably heard, as I did, a different Donald J. Trump! I was totally flabbergasted by what I heard and wondered what the heck is going on? Have voters been duped again? Are we experiencing a rerun of another change candidate like we had for the last eight years? That kind of change we certainly dont need, in my opinionespecially increasing the national debt to another all-time high or recycling former administration neocons! Consider how Trump is backpedaling about ObamaCare, which he promised to repeal, but now is reconsidering keeping some of its important aspects. Nothing seems to be reinforcing the thought that Trumps been gotten to or taken out behind the barn and talked to than the daily updates we get about Trumps candidates for Cabinet members and the incoming Trump administration! However, I dont think Im the only one to question whats going on. None other than former Congressman, and 2012 presidential candidate, Ron Paul makes some excellent points about Trumps Cabinet and administration choices, which ought to have everyone realizing the importance of Pauls statements about the shadow government and its powers within governance in the United States. In this video Dr. Paul lists the neocons he questions as Trump administration candidates or appointees, and which I think voters should too. Werent some of them part of the old boys network that got us into the international war machine treadmill weve been on for the last fifteen years? Donald J. Trump, what are you thinking? Trumps transition team has a website Tell Us Your Story asking How do you want to Make America Great? Wouldnt that be a great way to tell President-elect Trump what you think about his reneging on campaign promises even before he sets foot in the Oval Office? Who is going to hold Donald Trumps feet to the fire on his campaign promises?

As always,yes they have!!! Particularly those claiming to be Christians. Christians traded the fear of Yahweh for the fear of Hillary, biblical qualifications for campaign promises, and in trying to safe the Republic, theyve all but lost the Kingdom. Clinton and Trump (like all of their predecessors, only worse) were the inevitable consequences of the constitutional framers banning Christian tests in Article 6, thereby eliminating mandatory biblical qualifications for civil leaders. America has been doomed to nothing but nincompoops, scoundrels, and outright criminals ever since. Sound familiar? The 18th-century founders usurped Yahwehs exclusive election authority (Deuteronomy 17:15), thereby 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 D U M B idea! Just where do you suppose thats going to get us? Perhaps the precipice of moral depravity and destruction!?! No wonder following every election, America only becomes more ungodly, less Christian, and further enslaved regardless whether a donkey or an elephant is elected.

How the heck to you want him to act???? This nation will NEVER get well until we all look in the mirror and understand that it is the reflection in the mirror, that hypocrite you see, that has destroyed America and needs to change. Yes, I am talking about us. We are the problem, we are the sinners. If you are on the so-called right take note of this observation. Obama took office in 2009 and introduced his shovel ready, trillion dollar Stimulus Plan. There was outrage from the right. Now, Trump, one week before election, announces his Infrastructure Plan (Stimulus 2.0), where is the outrage? Is this the proper role of the FEDERAL government to build bridges, hospitals and schools? Can anyone say National Debt is at $20 TRILLION? Are these the permanent, good paying factory jobs he promised to bring back to America? Obama Stimulus 1.0 just happened to jump start the smart grid in the US by providing funding for the basic infrastructure needed smart meters. Trump Stimulus 2.0 will fund the basic infrastructure to move the smart grid and Internet of Things a little further. Our roads and infrastructure, in general (I know there are some neglected spots), are not crumbling. But they dont have the high tech sensors needed for total surveillance and also cant accommodate connected cars (controlled movement of people). Stimulus 2.0 will jump start that. Just wait and see. If Hillary won and she said she was going to put the Clinton Foundation in a blind-trust run by Chelsea, would you be ok with it or would there be outrage? Well, Trump put his kids in charge of his business enterprise AND on his transition leadership team. Where is the outrage from the so-called right. Stop being Pavlovs dog and reacting to the bell. Pay attention to what Trump does (or doesnt do) his actions not what he says. BTW, not ONE word about securing the border in his victory speech. His hallmark campaign issue. Am I glad Trump won over Hillary? Yes. I dont think I could tolerate 4-8 years of hearing that criminals voice (Hillibeast). However, I have no hope of Americas turn-around with Trump at the helm. He is owned by the same people as the Clintons. I proudly voted for the Constitution Party candidate. His main issue was to get us out of the UN. Every 4 years we do have choices, other than the lesser of two evils, but that reflection in the mirror hears Pavlovs bell and ignores the choices. Resist Pavlovs bell. Hillarys still the left wing and Trumps still the right wing of the same old dirty bird. Im surprised it took him a week to renege, I was expecting it overnight, because we cant believe a word out of either side of his two faces hes one of them, make no mistake about that. Make America Great Again what a laugh. It never was great, we didnt win independence from Great Britain, we are still one of their colonies, and we have all the proof of that now via the law, so why are they continuing to lie about it? Dont they know the cats out of the bag and its morphed into a lion? Its time for them to come out from behind the curtain and admit theyre all in on this conspiracy against everyone who isnt one of them. Because its true. Yup, I agree with ya. When I saw him holding the gay flag, I knew it was all over, and his promises were just an empy bucket. Now he says that the law has been set on homosexual marriage, and theres no use in changing it, but then he want to overturn the laws on abortion.its looking awful for him. Did all of you people fall off the turnip truck yesterday? When has ANY of these clowns ever told you the truth or did what they said they would do? And you thought this one was different? Just like the Obama Maniacs thought Obama was telling the truth. Just like the Bushies thought that idiot was telling the truth. Repeat until you puke your guts out. Yes, I told you all so. Over and over and over. I agree with you Buelahan.NOTHING but liarsall of them!!! Joan Camara, I provided a lot of info for you yesterday in 2 comments but my replies along with my Comment have been suppressed for some reason. Donald Trump is controlled opposition. Hes a neoconservative like george w., John Bolton, John McCain, Lindsay Graham etc. If he really went rogue like JFK did then donald wouldve been assassinated by now like JFK let been selected by the inbred warmongering rothschilds. We the people dont have any say during election day. Ppl need to wake up and step outside of the matrix for crying out loud. Good griefD Trump is not stupid and not going to telegraph what he is going to do. He is not even in office yet. Why in the world would he tell everyone his plans, just so the D-party America haters could make plans to try and stop him. Stop playing into this lefty narrative, which is just going to demoralize his voters. Demoralize his voters, then maybe they will start agreeing with the electoral vote re-callers. Yeeshthink LONG GAME. WW1, WW2, Vietnam. Americans have a history of voting for the president who promises to keep them out of the war, and who then drags them in. Looks like its happening again. Oh please. It was obvious from the git-go. And, yes, I told you so. Morons. Of course he is and no one ought be surprised. Hes just as much part of the establishment as the rest of them. Who knows, maybe this information is being leaked on purpose so Trump can tell these people that we the people who support Trump will not stand for them in the administration. They are already getting rid of the lobbyists that were part of the transition team. Please remember everyone, Trump is a smart guy and is playing chess not one move at a time checkers. By letting these guys, the enemy get close, they will expose their under belly and throat to you and then after they serve no useful purpose, you can dispose of them as the cutouts they are. You people need to just take a chill pill and stop trying to second-guess things based on what is heard on Corporate Media.calm down. To the Moderators, Site Operators: I would like to know why my Replies and Comments were suppressed aka Censored yesterday. I do not self promote or make Hateful Comments. I just share information. Wow, this is a lot of awesome information. So happy to see others exposing this fraud we call our government! Well done, thank you for posting it, and God bless you~ Grace, you are welcome and God bless you too. Lets all visualize and manifest the outcome wed like to achieve. My visualization supports that outcome. I have no doubt thatoutcome will be manifested. Victory Of The Light! Visualizing and manifesting stuff thats new-age craft-speak and Gods job, so I must kindly disagree with you there. My job is to expose evil where I see it, show how they pull off their evil, and to bring others out of Lucifers Light here on earth, turning them back to Him, more specifically His Law (word). Their ultimate goal is to mock God and His creation, so while I can agree you and I have similar goals to expose them, we have opposite methods. Cheers, and thanks again~ 
1	Hoping to improve upon the remarkable feat of rushing for the second most yards in NFL history a year after tearing his ACL in the final week of 2011, Vikings running back Adrian Peterson announced Sunday that he has intentionally torn his ACL again and will undergo reconstructive knee surgery later this week. It worked last year on the left knee, so Im trying the other one this year, said Peterson, whose intense dedication to offseason recovery has earned him the reputation of rehab rat among his teammates. Its hard to get over that playoff loss, but immediately after, I got right back to work and tore my ACL. If I was just eight yards short of the record last year, Im thinking that rupturing my LCL and PCL this offseason should put me over the top. Peterson, who confirmed that he had found the best postseason regimen to stay on top of his game, announced plans for a new football camp where the Pro Bowl running back will show young players the best way to damage their knees by hacking away at their ligaments with scissors. 
1	During an interview Monday with CBS affiliate WBBM-TV, actor Ted Danson made repeated efforts to steer the conversation back toward his current series, Becker. 'It's true, one of the ingredients that made Cheers work so well was the great ensemble of actors we had,' Danson told Live At Five host Janet Pye, attempting to set up a Cheers-Becker segue. 'That's the case with any good series, and it's certainly the case with' Pye sabotaged the attempted transition by interjecting that Danson and Shelley Long had particularly good chemistry. 
3	Why Are Cell Phone Towers Going Up on Public Schools All over the Country?Aaron Dykes and Melissa Melton This is a follow up to our last report based on a tip sent to us by a viewer who wanted to know how it was okay that the largest elementary school in Dallas put up a giant cell phone tower right on the basketball court next to the playground. After we released the video, lots of people sent us tips from one side of the nation to the other. These cell towers are being placed on school property next to even preschool playgrounds and sometimes directly on the rooftops of the schools themselves all over America. Why? With no long-term studies for safety, troubling health data pointing to everything from cancer to negative impacts on the immune system to impairing hormone function why? Why is there such a concerted, nationwide push to place these dangerous towers right next to our growing children in the very buildings they spend all their time in during the week? Wellthere is one theorybut you arent going to like it. Cell Phone Towers are for Mind Control, 1of3 | 2of3 | 3of3 For more on this, check out the source docs on Stopthecrime.net.

1	A third recount by Florida election officials has 'definitively determined' that Green Party candidate Ralph Nader was defeated in the state. 'There was a very significant 25,603-vote discrepancy between the first two counts, with Nader losing by respective margins of 2,812,339 and 2,837,942, so we decided to conduct a hand recount,' Florida Attorney General Jim Smith said. 'We now know that Nader lost by precisely 2,821,278 votes.' It is not yet known whether Nader lost to Gore or Bush. 
1	Emphasizing that this was not a choice he had made lightly, University of Michigan student Kevin Peterson told reporters Thursday that he had officially decided to become one of the lanyard-wearing kind of freshmen. I have given this matter plenty of thought, weighing the various benefits and drawbacks, and Ive decided that, henceforth, I will be one of those guys who always has on a blue-and-gold lanyard with a little pouch at the end for my student ID, dorm key, and cash, said Peterson, adding that he was still considering whether and how often he would remove the lanyard from around his neck and swing it in circles until it wrapped around his fingers, then reverse the process to unfurl it. There were, of course, other paths I couldve taken, such as being the kid who brings a Nalgene bottle everywhere, the guy who wears Zubaz around the dorms, or the student who smuggles food out of the cafeteria. For me, though, wearing a lanyard every time Im seen in public feels like the right move. At press time, Peterson was thinking about upgrading to a lanyard with a retractable keyring that he could compulsively extend and snap back at all hours of the day.

2	You Will NEVER Shop At Target Again After You Find Out What They Just Did After receiving numerous complaints from customers, Target is being pressured to take the gender labels off of many of its departments containing childrens products. Backlash started after customers noticed that there were signs designating boys toys from girls toys. Now, the superstore will be removing that signage along with any blue and pink paper in any of the childrens toy areas. In fact, the only place where gender division will remain is in the clothing department, which is necessary for sizing purposes. As guests have pointed out, in some departments like toys, home or entertainment, suggesting products by gender is unnecessary. What do you think? Is this just another example of our country taking being political correct was too far? 
3	The Tip Of The Iceberg Of The Coming Retirement Crisis That Will Shake America To The CoreMichael Snyder Yes, I suppose that we could eventually see a super devaluation of the U.S. dollar and keep our promises to the Baby Boomers using currency that is not worth much more than Monopoly money, but as it stands right now we simply do not have the resources to do what we said that we were going to do. The number of senior citizens in the United States is projected to more than double by the middle of the century, and it would have been nearly impossible to support them all even if we werent in the midst of a long-term economic decline. Tens of millions of Americans that are eagerly looking forward to retirement are going to be in for a very rude awakening in the years ahead. There is going to be a lot of heartache and a lot of broken promises. What is going on in Detroit right now is a perfect example of what will soon be happening all over the nation. Many city workers stuck with their jobs for decades because of the promise of a nice pension at the end of the rainbow. But now those promises are going up in smoke. There has even been talk that retirees will only end up getting about 10 cents for every dollar that they were promised. Needless to say, many pensioners are extremely angry that the promises that were made to them are not going to be kept. The following is from a recent articlein the New York Times Many retirees see the plan to cut their pensions as a betrayal, saying that they kept their end of a deal but that the city is now reneging. Retired city workers, police officers and 911 operators said in interviews that the promise of reliable retirement income had helped draw them to work for the City of Detroit in the first place, even if they sometimes had to accept smaller salaries or work nights or weekends. Does Detroit have a problem? asked William Shine, 76, a retired police sergeant. Absolutely. Did I create it? I dont think so. They made me some promises, and I made them some promises. I kept my promises. Theyre not going to keep theirs. We may be one of the first. We are the largest. But we absolutely will not be the last. Yes, Detroits financial problems are immense. But other major U.S. cities are facing unfunded pension liabilities that are even worse. For example, here are the unfunded pension liabilities forfour financially-troubled large U.S. cities Detroit: $3.5 billion When you break it down on a per citizen basis, Detroit is actually in better shape than the others Detroit: $7,145 And many state governments are in similar shape. Right now, the state of Illinois has unfunded pension liabilities that total approximately$100 billion. There are some financial journalists out there that are attempting to downplay this problem, but sticking our heads in the sand is not going to make any of this go away. According to Northwestern University Professor John Rauh, the total amount of unfunded pension and healthcare obligations for retirees that state and local governments across the United States have accumulated is 4.4 trillion dollars. So where are they going to get that money? They are going to raise your taxes of course. Just check out what is happening right now inScranton, Pennsylvania Scranton taxpayers could face a 117 percent increase in taxes next year as the citys finances continue to spiral out of control. A new analysis by the Pennsylvania Economy League projects an $18 million deficit for 2014, an amount so massive it outpaces the approximate $17 million the struggling city collects annually A 117 percent tax increase? What would Dwight Schrute think of that? Perhaps you are reading this and you are assuming that your retirement is secure because you work in the private sector. Well, just remember what happened to your 401k during the financial crisis of 2008. During the next major stock market crash, your 401k will likely get absolutely shredded. Many Americans will probably see the value of their 401k accounts go down by 50 percent or more. And if you have stashed your retirement funds with the wrong firm, you could end up losing everything. Just ask anyone that had their nest eggs invested with MF Global. But of course most Americans are woefully behind on saving for retirement anyway. A study conducted by Boston Colleges Center for Retirement Research found that American workers are $6.6 trillion short of what they need to retire comfortably. That certainly isnt good news. On top of everything else, the federal government has been recklessly irresponsible as far as planning for the retirement of the Baby Boomers is concerned. As I notedyesterday, the U.S. government is facing a total of 222 trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities. Social Security and Medicare make up the bulk of that. At this point, the number of Americans on Medicare is projected to grow from a little bit more than 50 million today to 73.2 million in 2025. The number of Americans collecting Social Security benefits is projected to grow from about 56 million today to91 million in 2035. How is a society with a steadily declining economy going to care for them all adequately? If you are not convinced yet, here are some more numbers. The following stats are from one of my previous articles entitled Do You Want To Scare A Baby Boomer? 1. Right now, there are somewhere around 40 million senior citizens in the United States. By 2050 that number is projected to skyrocket to 89 million. 2. According to one recent poll, 25 percent of all Americans in the 46 to 64-year-old age bracket have no retirement savings at all. 3. 26 percent of all Americans in the 46 to 64-year-old age bracket have no personal savings whatsoever. 4. One survey that covered all American workers found that 46 percent of them have less than $10,000 saved for retirement. 5. According to a survey conducted by the Employee Benefit Research Institute, 60 percent of American workers said the total value of their savings and investments is less than $25,000. 6. A Pew Research survey found that half of all Baby Boomers say that their household financial situations have deteriorated over the past year. 7. 67 percent of all American workers believe that they are a little or a lot behind schedule on saving for retirement. 8. Today, one out of every six elderly Americans lives below the federal poverty line. 9. More elderly Americans than ever are finding that they must continue working once they reach their retirement years. Between 1985 and 2010, the percentage of Americans in the 65 to 69-year-old age bracket that were still working increased from 18 percent to 32 percent. 10. Back in 1991, half of all American workers planned to retire before they reached the age of 65. Today, that number has declined to 23 percent. 11. According to one recent survey, 70 percent of all American workers expect to continue working once they are retired. 12. According to a poll conducted by AARP, 40 percent of all Baby Boomers plan to work until they drop. 13. A poll conducted by CESI Debt Solutions found that 56 percent of American retirees still had outstanding debts when they retired. 14. Elderly Americans tend to carry much higher balances on their credit cards than younger Americans do. The following is from a recent CNBC article New research from the AARP also shows that those ages 50 and over are carrying higher balances on their credit cards $8,278 in 2012 compared to $6,258 for the under-50 population. 15. A study by a law professor at the University of Michigan found that Americans that are 55 years of age or older now account for 20 percent of all bankruptcies in the United States. Back in 2001, they only accounted for 12 percent of all bankruptcies. 16. Between 1991 and 2007 the number of Americans between the ages of 65 and 74 that filed for bankruptcy rose by a staggering 178 percent. 17. What is causing most of these bankruptcies among the elderly? The number one cause is medical bills. According to a report published in The American Journal of Medicine, medical bills are a major factor in more than 60 percent of the personal bankruptcies in the United States. Of those bankruptcies that were caused by medical bills, approximately 75 percent of them involved individuals that actually did have health insurance. 18. In 1945, there were 42 workers for every retiree receiving Social Security benefits. Today, that number has fallen to 2.5 workers, and if you eliminate all government workers, that leaves only 1.6 private sector workers for every retiree receiving Social Security benefits. 19. Millions of elderly Americans these days are finding it very difficult to survive on just a Social Security check. The truth is that most Social Security checks simply are not that large. The following comes directly from the Social Security Administration website The average monthly Social Security benefit for a retired worker was about $1,230 at the beginning of 2012. This amount changes monthly based upon the total amount of all benefits paid and the total number of people receiving benefits. You can view the rest of the statistics right here. Sadly, most Americans are not aware of these things. The mainstream media keeps most of the population entertained with distractions. This week it isthe birth of the royal baby, and next week it will be something else. Meanwhile, our problems just continue to get worse and worse. There is no way in the world that we are going to be able to keep all of the financial promises that we have made to the Baby Boomers. A lot of them are going to end up bitterly disappointed. All of this could have been avoided if we would have planned ahead as a society. But that did not happen, and now we are all going to pay the price for it.

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. 
1	Overcome with emotion as he described how much hed miss his old friend, the owner of Triple Crownwinner American Pharoah bid a tearful farewell to the colt Monday before granting the horse its freedom, sources confirmed. Youve done more than I could have asked, and now youre free to roam and run wherever you please, said the horses owner, Ahmed Zayat, who, following American Pharoahs victory in the Belmont Stakes, is said to have transported the 3-year-old colt deep into the country near a forest clearing, removed its saddle, and given the animal one last kiss on the forehead before setting it free. Nobody believed you could win all three, but you did ityou did it, American Pharoah!and you earned your freedom. Wherever you go now and whatever you choose to do, just know that Ill never forget you. Ever. At press time, American Pharoah was reportedly spotted taking one poignant last look back at its former owner before galloping off among the trees. 
2	Gun Violence Restraining Order Act Goes Into Effect Americans throughout the country are being forced to defend their second amendment rights, as our president desperately tries to encourage measures that will make firearms more difficult to obtain. Were already seeing legislation being introduced by state governments. California, for example, brought in the new year with a gun law that gives the state the right to seize legally-owned weapons for up to three weeks if you are deemed a threateven just by word of mouth. Under the Gun Violence Restraining Order act, a judge can sign off on a search and seizure order that allows police to come into your home and take your guns if anyone who knows you expresses concerns. If the police do arrive at your doorstep, you will be handed this order: To the restrained person: This order is valid until the expiration date and time noted above. You are required to surrender all firearms and ammunition that you own or possess in accordance with Section 18120 of the Penal Code and you may not have in your custody or control, own, purchase, possess, or receive, or attempt to purchase or receive a firearm or ammunition, while this order is in effect. A hearing will be held on the date and at the time noted above to determine if a more permanent gun violence restraining order should be issued. Failure to appear at that hearing may result in a court making an order against you that is valid for a year. You may seek the advice of an attorney as to any matter connected with the order. The attorney should be consulted promptly so that the attorney may assist you in any matter connected with the order. What do you think? Is this a blatant violation of our Second Amendment rights? Do we need to take a stand before matters get worse? 
2	Woman Disarms Home Intruder And Beats Him Senseless With His Own Bat According to reports from FOX59, a pair of homeowners turned the tables on a burglary suspect who reportedly attack them and their children. Noah Dassat, 33, of Santa Cruz was later arrested on four felony charges and one misdemeanor charge for armed burglary, battery and criminal chief. Dassat reportedly broke into a home on June 23 and attacked the occupants, including three children, with a bat, the North Port Police Department reports. Fortunately, the homeowner was able to wrestle him to the ground while his wife grabbed the bat and beat Dassat with his own weapon 
2	BREAKING: White House Panicking After Damning Secret About Malia Leaks Michelle and Barack Obama have worked hard to keep the details of their daughters lives hidden from the public. So they probably werent pleased this week when an article was released exploring their 18-year-old daughters net worth. MorningLedger reported that Malia and her sister Sasha have $200,000 and $450,000 in 529 college plansand it looks like they will need it. The first presidential daughter graduated from the Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C. and will be taking a gap year before studying at Harvard University. According to the source, Malias net worth is difficult to track. She has been working in the film and TV industry since before she could drive. Of course, her fathers wealth is much easier to uncover. As the current president, Barack Obama earns $400,000 a year. Celebrity Net Worths estimates he is worth $12.2 millionbut that is not entirely accurate given that he receives book royalties, has investments, and accrues monetary awards and prizes. In fact, his upcoming memoir is predicted to earn $20 million, and the Nobel Peace Prize alone earned him $1.4 million. Barack is the breadwinner, but sadly, Michelle is not far behind. She likely offers $11.8 million in her books, investments, and assets. Taking all their earnings together, the Obama family has more than a $23 million net worth. It looks like their lavish lifestyles will continue even after they leave the White Housebut at least they will be reaching into their own pockets, instead of ours. 
3	36 Hard Questions About The U.S. Economy That The Mainstream Media Should Be AskingMichael Snyder With each passing day the debt of the federal government grows larger, the financial world become even more unstable and more American families fall out of the middle class. The same long-term economic trends that have been eating away at our economy like cancer for decades continue to ruthlessly attack the foundations of our economic system. We are rapidly speeding toward an economic cataclysm, and yet the government and most of the media make it sound like happy days are here again. The American people deserve better than this. The American people deserve the truth. The following are 36 hard questions about the U.S. economy that the mainstream media should be asking #1 If the percentage of working age Americans that have a job is exactly the same as it was three years ago, then why is the government telling us that the unemployment rate has gone down significantly during that time? #2 Why are some U.S. companies allowed to exploit disabled workers by paying them as little as 22 cents an hour? #4 Why is real disposable income in the United States falling at the fastest rate that we have seen since 2008? #5 Why do 53 percent of all American workers make less than $30,000 a year? #6 Why are wages as a percentage of GDP at an all-time low? #7 Why are 76 percent of all Americans living paycheck to paycheck? #8 Why are so many large corporations issuing negative earnings guidance for this quarter? Does this indicate that the economy is about to experience a significant downturn? #9 Why is job growth at small businesses at about half the level it was at when the year started? #10 Why are central banks selling off record amounts of U.S. debt right now? #11 Why did U.S. mortgage bonds just suffer their biggest quarterly decline in nearly 20 years? #12 Why did we just witness the largest weekly increase in mortgage rates in 26 years? #13 Why has the number of mortgage applications fallen by 29 percent over the last eight weeks? #14 Why has the number of mortgage applications fallen to the lowest level in 19 months? #15 If the U.S. economy is recovering, why is the mortgage delinquency rate in the United States still nearly 10 percent? #16 Why did the student loan delinquency rate in the United States just hit a brand new all-time high? #17 Why is the sale of hundreds of millions of dollars of municipal bonds being postponed? #18 What are the central banks of the world going to do when the 441 trillion dollar interest rate derivatives bubble starts to burst? #19 Why is Barack Obama secretly negotiating a new international free trade agreement that will impose very strict Internet copyright rules on all of us, ban all Buy American laws, give Wall Street banks much more freedom to trade risky derivatives and force even more domestic manufacturing offshore? #20 Why dont our politicians seem to care that the United States has run a trade deficit of more than 8 trillion dollars with the rest of the world since 1975? #21 Why doesnt the mainstream media talk about how rapidly the U.S. economy is declining relative to the rest of the planet? According to the World Bank, U.S. GDP accounted for 31.8 percent of all global economic activity in 2001. That number dropped to 21.6 percent in 2011. #22 Why is the percentage of self-employed Americans at a record low? #23 What are we going to do if dust bowl conditions continue to return to the western half of the United States? If the drought continues to get even worse, what will that do to our agriculture? #24 Why is the IRS spending thousands of taxpayer dollars on kazoos, stove top hats, bathtub toy boats and plush animals? #25 Why did the NIH spend $253,800 to study ways to educate Bostons male prostitutes on safe-sex practices? #26 Why do some of the largest charities in America spend less than 5 percent of the money that they bring in on actual charitable work? #27 Now that EU finance ministers have approved a plan that will allow Cyprus-style wealth confiscation as part of all future bank bailouts in Europe, is it only a matter of time before we see something similar in the United States? #28 Why does approximately one out of every three children in the United States live in a home without a father? #29 Why are more than a million public school students in the United States homeless? #30 Why are so many cities all over the United States passing laws that make it illegal to feed the homeless? #31 Why is government dependence in the U.S. at an all-time high if the economy is getting better? Back in 1960, the ratio of social welfare benefits to salaries and wages was approximately 10 percent. In the year 2000, the ratio of social welfare benefits to salaries and wages was approximately21 percent. Today, the ratio of social welfare benefits to salaries and wages is approximately 35 percent. #32 Why does the number of Americans on food stamps exceed the entire population of the nation of Spain? #33 The number of Americans on food stamps has grown from 32 million to 47 million while Barack Obama has been occupying the White House. So why is Obama paying recruiters to go out and get even more Americans to join the program? #34 Today, there are 56 million Americans collecting Social Security benefits. In 2035, there will be 91 million Americans collecting Social Security benefits. Where in the world will we get the money for that? #35 Why has the value of the U.S. dollar fallen by over 95 percent since the Federal Reserve was created back in 1913? #36 Why has the size of the U.S. national debt gotten more than 5000 times larger since the Federal Reserve was created back in 1913?

1	Though the annual Christmas letter from the Thompsons addresses Elliot's first semester at college and Mom's new job, it eerily makes no mention of the twins, concerned sources reported Monday. 'It talks about their vacation in Reno and Uncle Rick's laparoscopic surgery, but then it jumps right to a paragraph about Aunt Laura's new computer,' said recipient Stephen Olander, adding that the letter was far more soberly written than in previous years, foregoing the usual narrative device in which an irreverent update on the Thompsons is written from the point of view of the family's cat, Sergei. 'It's all very, very weird.' Olander conceded that perhaps there was no cause for alarm, saying that maybe his aunt was stymied by the rhyme scheme of 'The Night Before Christmas,' and thus unable to work the twins into her musings. 
2	BREAKING: Clarence Thomas Floors Trump Team With Shocking Announcement About Inauguration Democrats in the United States often make the assumption that all African Americans are liberals who share their liberal vision for the worldbut this couldnt be farther from the truth. The black community can think for itself and is made up of Americans who fall all over the political spectrum. One of the most respected examples of this is distinguished Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, a conservative. Liberals have punished Thomas for his views by failing to include him in government-funded Smithsonian National Museum of African-American History in Culture in Washington, D.C. Now, Thomas is sending an epic message to those that disrespect him. Clarence Thomas has decided to swear in Vice President Mike Pence, becoming the very first African-American Supreme Court justice to administer the oath of office to a vice president or president. Thomas is sure to become a target for his participation, but hes got thick skin. Liberals attempted to take him down in the past with a sex scandal when he was first nominated to the Supreme Court. Thomas has also criticized Obamas use of the courts to advance his own agenda. With such unchecked judicial power, the court day-by-day, case-by-case, is busy designing the Constitutionas Justice Scalia once quippedinstead of interpreting it, Thomas noted. What do you think? Is this a monumental step forward for our country? Do you applaud Thomas for standing true to his beliefs? 
1	Rodney Dunbar, a 46-year-old civil engineer and father of two, 'must have read some drug-slang pamphlet or something,' his children reported Monday. Rodney Dunbar holds a rap session with his son. 'Dad and I were watching the NBA playoffs Saturday,' 14-year-old son Dylan said. 'Someone missed a pass, and he goes, 'Sometimes, I get the feeling that some of these basketball players are smoking the rock.' Then, a few days later, he sits down on my bed and asks me if I'd ever been 'pressured into attending a raver party, where kids dance and take party drugs like truck driver, co-pilot, Georgia home boy, and doctor.' It's like he picked up a health textbook or something. Or maybe he found some weird talking-to-your-kids-about-drugs web site.' A discussion between Dylan and his sister Megan, 16, revealed that she had been asked similar questions. 'He asked me if any of the kids at school 'do crystal.' I just stared at him, dumbfounded,' Megan said. 'Then he says, 'It's also called crank. It's very dangerous.' Okay, dad.' Dr. Allen Mayhan, a local family therapist, explained Dunbar's clumsy efforts to incorporate contemporary slang into his drug talks. 'By using current slang terms, Dunbar is trying to tell his children, 'I'm 'hip' or 'down,' and you can talk to me about anything,'' Mayhan said. 'He is unaware that his stilted speaking style, belabored references, and frequent incorrect usage of terms leave his children more confused than reassured.' Mayhan discussed an April 3 incident in which Dunbar alluded to 'Special K,' the newly popular club drug Ketamine, during breakfast. 'As Dylan was eating a bowl of cereal, his father told him, 'Product 19 is fine, kiddo, but stay off the Special K,'' Mayhan said. 'Dylan wouldn't have even known he was talking about a drug if he hadn't punctuated the reference with a raised eyebrow.' Said Dylan: 'I had no idea what 'Special K' was. I had to ask White Jimmy, this guy in my history class who deals. Turns out, it's a dog anesthetic that people take. Then White Jimmy showed me his stash. Man, that guy has a lot of wild stuff.' According to Dr. Mary Putnam-Ellis, author of Speedballs, Spliffs, And Spores: How NOT To Talk To Your Teen About Drugs, parents have attempted to use drug slang for generations, despite the fact that there are no known cases of the tactic being effective. 'Recent studies indicate that knowledge of slang does not improve communication between parents and children,' Putnam-Ellis said. 'Instead, statistics show that hearing parents use the street names of drugs leaves teenagers feeling vaguely creeped out.' In the past, parents would use drug slang from their own generation, assuring their children that they 'don't have to smoke doobies to be cool.' More parents, however, are turning to current slang, picked up from articles about drugs in Time and Newsweek, investigative pieces on 60 Minutes, and movies such as Traffic, as well as from drug-slang brochures. 'Parents feel that, by exhibiting knowledge of street names, their children will see them as an informed, experienced peer who is worth listening to, rather than an out-of-touch authority figure,' Putnam-Ellis said. 'This tactic never works.' Despite its ineffectiveness, Dunbar said he has no plans to stop using contemporary drug slang any time soon. 'I read an article in the paper about that new drug Ecstasy and its long-term effects on the brain,' Dunbar said. 'I wanted to talk to the kids about it, but then I forgot what the article said they call it. Is it 'E' or 'X'? Or is it both? And I can't remember if you use 'E' as a noun or verbdo you 'do E' or do you 'get E'd up'? I'll have to make sure to get that straight.' 
3	Mainstream Doctors Say Supporting the 2nd Amendment is a Mental DisorderSusanne Posel, Contributor More and more doctors are forcing the idea that we need a national healthcare approach to the problem that the recent shootings provide. While tobacco and alcohol is regulated, why not include the right to bear arms? Dr. Garen Wintemute, professor of emergency medicine at the Prevention Research Program speaking about the installing of public guardrails, said: People used to spear themselves and we blamed the drivers for that. The staged shootings in Coloradoand Wisconsinare being used by some scientists to declare gun violence be treated like any other mental disease and perhaps by popping a pill, American citizens would forget to fight for their 2nd Amendment rights. Dr. Stephen Hargarten of the Research Center at the Medical College of Wisconsin claims: An estimated 260 to 300 million firearms are owned by American civilians which equals 1/3 of US households. While gun-related deaths are not rising, according to police records, the fear-mongering continues as a supposed trend with no justification. Propaganda studies into gun ownership claim that alcohol abuse causes the likelihood of gun-related violence to rise, according to Wintemute. Banning assault weapons would control the amount of rounds a person could shoot, while the police officers would still be allowed to tout automatic pistols. By restricting gun sales to include minor misdemeanors, as well as convicted felons, 40% of gun sales would be curbed. And with the classification of gun support as a mental disorder, more control could be placed on who ultimately can own a gun. By devising tactics to reduce shootings, experts are trying to legitimize profiling so that they can identify who would be most likely to commit such a crime. Combining the psychiatric industry with pre-crime seems to be a relationship conceived by the global Elite. Barrett says: Daniel Webster, co-director of the anti-firearm John Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research, asserts that gun ownershipa precursor to gun violencecan spread much like an infectious disease' and wants healthcare professionals to have influence over whether or not American citizens are legally allowed to possess firearms. Webster would like to see Obamacare have ultimate control of the classification of mental states with regard to purchasing and obtaining FBI clearance for a gun. As Obama has done in the past, an executive order could be signed to force the issue through compliance with Obamacare restrictions on those deemed mentally defective and unable to own firearms. As with the mandate through EO on religious institutions to provide birth control, Obamas executive power can again be abused to ensure his bidding is done like any good Fascist Dictator would do. The blurring of the line between Liberal Democrats and covert Socialists is confusing the perception of the 2nd Amendment in the social meme being purveyed by the mainstream media. By aligning Constitutional authority with the convoluted power grabs of the Obama administration, our Republic for the people and by the people is quickly descending into a control grid of which there is no escape. The link between gun control and health care is a coercive way to equate fear brought on by recent shootings and removal of Constitutional rights that stand in the way of the US governments tyrannical declarations.

3	Secret TPP Negotiations Resume in Salt Lake CityMaira Sutton In the past week, 23 Republicans and 151 Democrats in the House of Representatives wrote letters to the Obama administration indicating their unwillingness to comply with the Executives request for power to fast-track trade agreements through Congress. Fast-trackauthority, also known as Trade Promotion Authority, limits congressional approval over trade agreements to a yes or no, up or down vote. If a bill granting fast-track were to pass, hearings would become extremely limited, and lawmakers would have no ability to make amendments. It would give the Obama administration unchecked power to shape TPP and other agreements like the EU-U.S. trade deal, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP). There are some Congress members who are actively pushing for fast-track and are vowing to introduce legislation to enact it by 2014. Thankfully, these letters from the House show the White House is going to have difficulty in finding support in Congress to pass such a bill. Still, the Obama administration is going to push hard for the passage of fast-track. The U.S. trade office is negotiating TPP as if it already has fast-track authority, by deciding for itself which countries to negotiate with and what issues are on the table. So we need to demand that our lawmakers oppose fast-track. Lets ask them to call for a hearing and exercise their authority to oversee the U.S. trade offices secret copyright agenda. You can Take Action to oppose the TPP by clicking here. 
1	As part of an effort to provide young people with the tools necessary to make responsible decisions, a coalition of the nations leading anti-drug activists launched a new initiative Tuesday with the goal of teaching teenagers to resist pressure from psychiatrists to use drugs. A lot of teens just dont know how to say no when drugs are constantly pushed on them by mental health professionals, and we aim to remedy that, campaign director Karen Thorpe said of the initiative, which will implement programs at high schools and middle schools nationwide in which 13-to-18-year-olds can discuss times they have felt coerced into trying controlled substances during therapy sessions, and will provide them with methods to avoid the influence and persuasive tactics of drug-pushing psychiatrists. These kids see their friends and classmates using drugs in middle school, or even elementary school, and they start to think its normal. We have to break that cycle. These kids need to know that just because the person pressuring them to use drugs is older than they are and uses forceful language, that does not mean using drugs is a good idea. While Thorpe said the program is a great start, she noted that the systemic problem couldnt be fully addressed until the government shows the will to take on the handful of large, powerful groups that are behind the drugs production and distribution. 
3	Saudi generals warn not to invade SyriaBy Brandon Turbeville By now, the Saudis and the Emirates have been revealed for the paper tigers that they are by virtue of their disastrous military campaign in Yemen. While the Saudi/UAE forces have managed to return the Hadi government to semi-power in parts of Yemen, a battle against ragtag rebels wearing sandals and carrying light arms has nevertheless decimated much of the Saudi-led coalition forces. Thus, any threat to invade Syria (without the full backing of the U.S., NATO, or Turkey) is not likely to strike terror in the hearts of the Syrian military. A number of Saudi generals have also recognized the feebleness of Saudi military power, however, and have, in a top secret document, warned the Saudi government of involving itself militarily in Syria. The generals also warned of dangerous consequences such as national instability in the event of Saudi involvement. Below is the translated document, addressed to the Saudi Monarch, Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers, and the Minister of the Interior. The document was translated by Ziad Fadel of Syrian Perspective, a Michigan Supreme Court certified translator for Arabic/English: THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA In the name of Allah, the Compassionate and the Merciful Illegible MINISTRY OF DEFENSE Number: Chairmanship of the General Staff Date: 6/5/1437 H Armed Forces Committee for Intelligence and Security Enclosures: Subject: Review of going to war in Syria SEAL TOP SECRET His Highness, Heir Apparent, Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Minister of the Interior, We are experts within the Saudi Armed Forces and because of our commitment to (our) responsibility for the faith, the king, and country, we inform Your Highness that Operation Decisive Storm has not accomplished all the goals desired because the Arab forces were unable to perform their tasks and, thus following up on that, taking into consideration the complicated situation in the region, sending forces to Syria is going to result in convulsing our national stability followed by extremely dangerous consequences. Thus, this will need more study. We hope Your Highness will adopt what you see as appropriate for the national interest. General Abdullah bin Ali bin Abdullah Al-Shula The original scanned copy of the Arabic version can be found here. Many questions surround the appearance of this document in the press such as whether it was leaked by a source in the government or military or whether it was intentionally leaked by military staff in hopes that a controlled leak would be more effective in deterring the Royal monarchs from launching an invasion. Regardless, it would be wise of the Saudis to heed their generals warning.

The entire government are evil treasonous criminals. The day of the next false flag using the nuke they stole in 2007 and blamed on Iran, America will be destroyed by Russia, China and the SCO. This is the war of Armageddon and you can know it is now because of Planet X and the toxic chemtrails that hide it every day. Planet X will end the war when it rips the earth apart again but 90% of Americans will be dead already. All planned by your evil government. This is unpressedented and certanly not an easy thing to do, against their own Gov. whom is been hailed as freind by all the wasall states and the imperial banana republic them selfs, and sells weponds for billions whom is basicly been used against ordinary people. Yes, to me, all respect and honor to this Generals, no expetions, and I hope that the, the present Gov whom is so far out of tuch of reality, that of the Saudi kingdom to take notise, and realises the graveness and the ugly consequencess of continuing the present path, a dark ally whom benefits abolutelly nobody, and sepecally not the Saudi people. Consider this, Saudis, the revolution YOU need is right infront of you, you can almoust tuch it, and may the lord have mercy upon your souls and shine a light so you, hopefuly find somewhere, the balls to do it. peace Stop filming our murderers! we cant have plausible deniability if you people keep filming our thugs crimes! Whenever criminals get into positions of power, they inevitably create rules, laws and policies that hide their crimes and make their crimes legal! This is obviously an intentional leak of the memo to the leadership of Saudi Arabia. It tells the populace of their governments intentions and that the military isnt in support of the action. i am embarrassed , saudis worship the u.s.a., saudis are 5th columns , they want to be portrayed as the victims , kingdom days are numbered ! 
3	SWAT Team Destroys Tiny Houses Built for the Homeless, 10 Activists ArrestedBy John Vibes The activists belong to a group called Denver Homeless Out Loud, released a statement after the arrests which read: Last night, Saturday, Oct 24th, about 70 Denver Police Department and Denver Sheriffs Department officers, including swat units, under orders from Mayor Michael Hancock, descended on Sustainability Park and arrested 10 community members who, along with many others, were in the process of setting up a tiny home village to be occupied and managed by houseless people. The arrests, on charges of trespassing, were followed by the destruction and removal of several tiny homes which the group had constructed for houseless community members to live in. The group, led by Denver Homeless Out Loud and composed of houseless people and supporters, had been constructing tiny homes and trying to find a location for the village for over a year. But due to zoning and code constraints they have not been able to find a legal place to put the houses. In the afternoon, while constructing tiny homes on-site, the group was visited by a representative of Denver Housing Authority, as well as by the developer. By 9pm, with a police helicopter circling overhead, the officers made the arrests and Denver Public Works destroyed, threw into dump trucks, and carted away the homes that had been so badly needed by houseless people and so lovingly constructed by those who would have lived there and their supporters. According to the group, they originally had control of the land through anUrban Farming Cooperative, but the city decided to sell the land to a private developer. The group was later released from prison, and they promised to continue their work despite pressure from police. We will not give up! We will keep fighting to defend peoples right to housing, the group said.

2	Obama Praised For Christian Persecution Statement Just two days before Christmas, President Barack Obama finally decided to condemn the persecution of Christians in the Middle East. He quickly was patted on the back from In Defense of Christians (IDC), a leading advocacy group. In Defense of Christians is grateful to President Obama for making this years annual Christmas message an opportunity to manifest solidarity with and raise awareness about the terrible plight of the Christian community under ISIS, Kirsten Evans, Executive Director of IDC told reporters at Newsmax. Evans then went on to call remembrance to ISIS record of ravaging centuries-old Christian communities in the surge of theological totalitarianism it has prescribed. The victims only crime was their Christian identity, she argued. Weve beheld the ongoing destruction of Christian churches, schools, monasteries, convents, and cemeteries in an attempt by ISIS to eradicate Christianity entirely from the psychological and cultural history of the region, Evans concluded. Christians throughout the world had been waiting for Obama to come to their defense. He used the opportunity to claim that Americans in the United States are free to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, but many people arent. Michelle and I are ever-mindful that many of our fellow Christians do not enjoy that right, and hold especially close to our hearts and minds those who have been driven from their ancient homelands by unspeakable violence and persecution, Obama claimed in his statement. What do you think? Is it time for Obama to start protecting Christians in this country? 
1	Surprising many with his impeccable fundamentals and intense style of play, sources at the Elm Street YMCA confirmed Thursday that a 55-year-old man is absolutely dominating the competition at the gyms evening pickup basketball game. The partially graying, tank-topclad manwho was overheard introducing himself as Ken to several other players at the beginning of the gamehas reportedly been utterly unstoppable on both ends of the floor, carving up the opposing team with a diverse arsenal of pump fakes, post moves, and well-timed backdoor passes. Hes gotta be at least 15 years older than anyone else here, but hes just blowing through people with ease, said opposing player Evan Harris, 26, adding that the man has been confidently calling for the ball, setting screens, and directing his teammates positioning on defense. He crashes the boards like a madman, he hustles down the court for fast breaks, and he sure as hell isnt afraid to body up underneath the basket. Hes everywhere. And if he starts driving to the hoop, you better get out of the way, continued Harris. Hes a goddamn freight train. Witnesses noted with amazement that the slightly overweight 55-year-old is solid as a rock and absolutely tenacious on defense. Eyewitnesses at the recreational facility told reporters that the man, who donned a large black knee brace prior to the game, has commanded an unquestioned authority over his team as he continues racking up points, assists, steals, and rebounds. He has reportedly proven to be a formidable presence in the paint, and, in spite of his 5-foot-10, roughly 210-pound frame, exhibited a remarkably light touch on the ball while sinking several outside jump shots. Sources also confirmed that defenders have been unable to cope with the mans dizzying array of pinpoint bounce passes from the top of the key, noting that he has also yet to commit a single turnover during the game. Hes a little stocky, but hes actually a lot quicker than he looks, said 31-year-old Aaron Garrett, adding that the man has shown absolutely no signs of exhaustion or fatigue despite his shirt being completely drenched in sweat. I tried going up for a rebound against him, and I just bounced right off his body. Hes definitely not the fastest guy out there, but he more than makes up for it with how hard he plays. Maybe he played in college or something, Garrett added. I underestimated himI think we all didand hes making us pay for that now. According to sources, the middle-aged man has been unafraid to inform teammates of their lackluster play, often imploring them to look for the open man or cut to the rim for a pass. After a breakdown in defense led to an uncontested layup for the other team, the man was observed clapping his hands together several times in frustration while shouting Communicate! Furthermore, several reports indicated that the 55-year-old is the only person on the court who has called fouls during the game, at one point singling out an opposing player he simply referred to as Red Shorts after a rough charge and sternly telling him to cool it. Hes more or less a one-man team out thereeverything is going through him, said 26-year-old teammate Timothy Graham, speculating that the man must play pickup games at least twice a week to keep himself in such good shape. I mean, Christ, weve been playing for a good 45 minutes, and he hasnt even taken a single water break. I hope Im in half as good shape as that when Im his age. At press time, after his team handily won the game, the 55-year-old had reportedly shaken each players hand, grabbed his Reebok gym bag on the sideline, and quietly walked out of the gym. 
3	10 Corporations That Got Away With MurderBy Jake Anderson However, while a hero like Edward Snowden can reveal to us the surveillance state and dragnet data collection enabled by the Patriot Act, one person alone cant stop its successor, the USA FREEDOM Act, from privatizing mass data collection and outsourcing the job to the governments Big Data partners. Corporate rule over this country is more disturbing than ever, but its important to never gloss over the crimes of the past. Corporations can and do get away with murder and have been doing so for a while. Their dubious personhood status which bestows upon them seemingly limitless powers of citizenship has in many cases immunized them from the same laws and regulations real humans face. As a result, their crimes are swept under the rug as though they were merely teenage transgressions. But watchful eyes and minds can collect and archive these crimes with the same ubiquity as the surveillance cameras on our street corners. Without further ado, here are 10 corporations that got away with murder: Dutch West India Company Granted a charter to monopolize the Atlantic slave trade, the Dutch West India Company transported African slaves to sugar and cotton plantations in the Americas. On average, 15 percent of slaves died from suffocation, starvation, violence, and disease during the voyages. Accusations of the mass-murderof buffalo to starve out Native Americans also possiblyplay into the Kansas Pacific Railroads decision tosystematicslaughter of the buffalo. US Colonel Richard Dodge famously said in 1867, Every buffalo dead is an Indian gone. Additionally, Monsanto may very well be causing irreversible kidney damage and canceron large-scale populations with theherbicide glyphosate marketed as Roundup. The city of San Diego is even suing Monsanto for polluting its bay with cancer-causingPCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). Jake Anderson writes for TheAntiMedia.org, where this article first appeared.

2	Obama Enforces His Tyranny On Donald Trump In THIS Disgusting Way According to recent reports, Donald Trumps visit to the Laredo Sector of Texas has been canceled by the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC). Originally, Trump was invited by Border Patrol agent Hector Garza to see his section of the border firsthand. Agent Garza later told reporters that the national union stepped in and insisted that he back out of the tour. Still, Garza believes that Trump will move forward without the unions participation. The union is about to put out a press release saving face for the local who invited Trump and the union itself by saying they are canceling their participation because Trump said he was being honored and that agents supported him, Garza claimed. The agents who actually work on the border invited him, one Border Patrol agent told reporters. This seems contrived. What do you think? Why is the NBPC trying to stop Trump? 
1	Unafraid to mingle at length with an ordinary blue-collar worker, local media consultant Darrel Palmer, a true hero of the common man, reportedly spoke to plumber Pete Worlan through all 38 minutes of the repairmans Wednesday morning visit to his home. Busy day today, huh? Bet you get a lot of calls to fix corroded pipes in old houses like this one, said the champion of the people, tossing aside class divisions and letting his true populist spirit shine on such topics as the weather, last weekends football game, and the type of vehicles he and Worlan drive. What are these old pipes made of anyway? Looked like iron to me. Boy, you cant see too many like that anymore. Sources stated that after paying Worlans fee for the repairs, the unrelenting crusader for equality gave the plumber a firm handshake and told him to have a good one. 
2	Green Beret Kicked Out For Beating Down Afghan Child Rapist Speaks Out [VIDEO] Sgt. First Class Charles Martland was recently kicked out of the army. Why? He got angry and body-slammed an alleged Afghan child rapist. Is that even a crime? While I understand that a military lawyer can say that I was legally wrong, we felt a moral obligation to act, Martland told reporters. He continued on to state that his intentions were to protect American lives and the boys safety. Now, the big question facing Americans is whether or not standing up for morality is truly wrong. 
1	During his American history class at Hebron Elementary School Wednesday, fifth-grader Jake Hensley was unable to produce a single hilarious disruptive comment regarding the Wilmot Proviso, an 1846 rider to a Congressional appropriations bill that attempted to outlaw slavery in the territory acquired from the MexicanAmerican War. 'I completely blanked,' said Hensley, who firmly established his class-clown status earlier in the year during a lesson on Revolutionary Warera statesman John Hancock. 'It was getting so close to the end of class that I almost considered 'Smellmot Proviso,' which is gay. I think I'm losing my touch.' Despite his failure to combine 'Proviso' with either the word 'fart' or 'boner,' Hensley did manage to redeem himself in his last-period English class by delivering a solid five minutes on the third chapter of Hatchet. 
1	HarperCollins Publishers announced Monday that 24-year-old Islip, NY resident Gerard Dillow has accepted its offer of $250,000 to publish his Facebook status from 56 minutes ago, which reads, 'In it to win it, suckas.' 'We're confident that In It To Win It, Suckas will be a huge success when it hits stores next summer,' editorial director Edith Dalrymple said of the forthcoming hardcover, which will feature a 140-character forward by Shit My Dad Says author Justin Halpern. 'The fact that Gerard's status already has six 'likes' and seven commentsonly two of which are from himtells us this property has a solid built-in audience.' Dillow's book will be released just two weeks after the film IKEA QUEEN BED FRAME AND BOX SPRING!!!!!!!!!! REDUCED PRICE!!!!!!!, which was optioned from the popular Craigslist post. 
1	Marveling at how dire things seemed in the relatively stable days of 12 years ago, Alan Gibson, 41, a local man of the year 2024, wistfully recounted on Wednesday the then-record temperatures recorded in the United States in 2012. 'To think that we were concerned about a 55.3-degree average is almost comical, but then, I guess at that point we must have still had some kind of perceivable ozone layer,' Gibson said fondly while reapplying the full-body coat of UV-resistant resin he and his fellow citizens of the 43 contiguous United States wear at all times. 'Today, you wouldn't think twice about a 96-degree day in the middle of February, but a mere decade ago you would look up at the skies waiting for snow. Christ, those were the days, man.' Gibson then recounted at length to reporters the story of how he and his family narrowly escaped the Eastern Seaboard during the abrupt and tragic events of March 2019. 
2	Little Girl Abandoned At The Mall Can Only Ask This One Heartbreaking Question About Her Mommy This is one of the saddest articles Ive had to write. Its hard to see the state of parenting in this country, sometimes. People neglect children, and think of them as burdens. The truth is that children are blessings to be cared for a nurtured, not to be abandoned and manipulated. One mom is learning that the hard way after she left her baby girl in a mall. This Philadelphia mother is behind bars after she took her daughter with her to Macys and proceeded to steal over $1500 worth of merchandise. She then abandoned her daughter inside the store as she fled. She left her 4-year-old daughter as she tried to escape police. The police were called, but they found no trace of the woman. Save for a frightened and crying little girl. The woman, named Mahogany Ashly Terry, seemed not to care about the 4-year-old, but was more interested in saving her own tail from handcuffs. She wiggled out of them when the police caught her, and ditched her daughter once again. One officer revealed that the little girl, frightened and crying, could only ask one thing: why had her mommy left her behind? Not only has she been charged with retail theft but also with recklessly endangering the welfare of a child. Yet another bad parent in this country. 
2	Insider Information Leaks About Hillary Clinton That Will Prevent Her From Ever Being President Weve heard many stories from the Clinton presidency, but new claims coming from 41-year-old Natalie Plain are topping the list of controversy. Plain was a White House intern alongside Monica Lewinskyand shes got plenty to say about Bills relationship with Hillary Clinton. Plain claims that Hillary was not a people person and was often on a power trip. Even when her husband was in office, she seemed to envy his popularity and power, she claims. In her mind, she was the brains behind the operation and the more capable leader though her husband received the accolades because he was a man and the president. Plain also implied that Bill was flirtatious with several of the interns, and Lewinsky was not unique. What do you think? Do we need to keep the Clintons out of the White House? 
1	WASHINGTON, DCJohn Glenn, the first American to orbit the earth and the oldest man ever in space, is being honored by the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, which has installed the former U.S. senator as the centerpiece of its upcoming Milestones Of Flight exhibit. Glenn hangs among other national treasures in the Smithsonian. 'John Glenn's life has been a living testament to the power of human vision,' NASM director Gen. John R. 'Jack' Dailey said at Sunday's dedication ceremony. 'Generations of Americans will be inspired by his nobly dangling form, which so eloquently evokes both the wonder of physical flight through the air and that even greater flightof the human spirit.' The Marine Corps band played the national anthem as Dailey unveiled a space-suited Glenn in his new place of honor, suspended 40 feet above the floor of the museum's breathtaking Gallery 100. He occupies a space near his Mercury 'Friendship 7' orbiter capsule and between Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis and the Bell Airacomet, the first American turbojet aircraft in regular production. The NASM will display Glenn in his original 1962-vintage flight suit, which he wore for his historic orbital space flight, until December 2004. Beginning next year, Glenn will alternate monthly between his 1962 and 1998 spacesuits. On occasions of historic import, Glenn will be displayed in appropriate livery, such as his WWII flight suit, his Korean War full-dress uniform, or the navy-blue and gray suits he wore during his four terms in the Senate. There are currently no plans to decorate Glenn for the holidays, during which time the museum is considering allowing him to visit family, as part of a special touring exhibit. 'There were a lot of challenges involved in readying John Glenn for display,' NASM deputy director Donald Lopez said. 'Ideally, we'd like to fully restore him to his original 1962 conditioninarguably his most memorable periodbut that's beyond the state of the archival art. However, he is a 1921 model, and therefore close to the end of his current service cycle. When he inevitably fails in a few years, we'll have to take him down and overhaul him anyway. That's when we'll look into making him as period-correct as the other displays here, using both our own knowledge and that of animal preservation and display experts from the Museum of Natural History.' Even as the museum continues to think of ways to better moderate the temperature and increase airflow near the building's rafters, the astronaut's mood remains upbeat. 'I'm happy for the opportunity to serve my country once more, and I am honored and humbled to be considered an inspiration,' Glenn said, struggling to make himself heard from his place near the ceiling of the gigantic exhibit hall. 'Although the organizers were a little unclear as to how long I will have to remain suspended from this ceiling, I'm proud to be up here as long as they need me.' 
1	Saying his dedication in the film room and on the practice field is beginning to yield dividends, members of the Minnesota Vikings coaching staff told reporters Thursday that they have been very intrigued by starting quarterback Matt Cassels growing ability to get the fuck out of running back Adrian Petersons way. Matt has displayed great balance and really fundamentally sound footwork when trying not to fuck up any of Adrians potential running lanes, said head coach Mike Zimmer, noting that Cassels agility allows him to quickly and decisively move aside after handing the ball off to the six-time Pro Bowl running back. Hes incredibly smooth when transitioning from the handoff to getting his ass as far away from Adrian as possible. That natural feel for how to steer absolutely fucking clear of the one person who could actually gain yards really opens up a lot of possibilities for our offense. Zimmer added that Cassel also shows great command at the line of scrimmage when reading the defense and then quickly audibling between various running plays. 
3	The Total Amount Of Debt In The World Just Hit A Record $152,000,000,000,000 (152 Trillion)By Michael Snyder When I first saw this number I was absolutely astounded at how reckless we all have become, and I was also amazed that there was hardly anything about this announcement in the mainstream media in the United States. The following excerpt comes from a story in a major British news source The International Monetary Fund has urged governments to take action to tackle a record $152tn debt mountain before it triggers a fresh global financial and economic crisis. Warning that debt levels were not just high but rising, the IMF said it was vital to intervene early in order to mitigate the risks of a repeat of the damaging events that began with the collapse of the US sub-prime housing bubble almost a decade ago. It said that new research in its half-yearly fiscal monitor covering 113 countries had shown that debt was currently 225% of global GDP, with the private sector responsible for two-thirds of the total. Right now the mainstream media in the United States is so obsessed with Trump and Clinton that almost every other important story is pushed to the side, but it boggles my mind how this cannot be major front-page news. When we borrow money, consumption is transferred from the future to the present. For example, if you put a 70-inch television on your credit card today, the quality of your lifestyle will immediately go up, but you wont have that money to spend at some point in the future. In fact, you are ultimately going to pay back significantly more money than you originally spent for the television. So when we go into debt, we are literally destroying the future one dollar at a time. On a national scale, what we are doing to our children, our grandchildren and all future generations of Americans is beyond criminal. Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers warned that government debt was simply thievery from future generations, and they were exactly right. If future generations get the chance, they will look back and curse us for what we have done to them. Earlier today I looked up our national debt, and it is currently sitting at $19,688,773,606,117.54. That means that Barack Obama has officially become the 9 trillion dollar man. When Barack Obama entered the White House, the U.S. government was 10.6 trillion dollars in debt, and now we are 19.6 trillion dollars in debt, and there is a very good chance that we could hit 20 trillion dollars by the time he leaves the White House on January 20th, 2017. In a just society, the politicians that have done this to future generations of Americans would be going to jail, but instead we put them up on pedestals. It is truly hard to grasp how much money a trillion dollars represents. For instance, if you were alive when Jesus Christ was born, and you had spent a million dollars every single day since that time, you still would not have spent a trillion dollars by now. Since Barack Obama entered the White House, we have been stealing more than 100 million dollars from future generations of Americans every single hour of every single day, and as Obamas second term draws to a close the pace of that theft is accelerating according to Simon Black In fact, for the 2016 fiscal year that ends in just ten more days, the US governments debt growth of $1.36 trillion is on track to be the third biggest annual increase ever. The only two years in all of US history that posted higher US debt growth were 2010 and 2011 the peak of the financial crisis. Even more acutely, last month the US federal debt grew by $151.5 billion. Not counting the financial crisis, and a few anomalous months following a debt ceiling reset, August 2016 was the single biggest expansion of US debt EVER. How could we do this? And I know that I have pointed the finger at Barack Obama a lot in this article, but the truth is that Republicans are highly to blame as well. The Tea Party revolution of 2010 gave the Republicans control of the House of Representatives, and since that time they have also gained control of the Senate. Without Republican approval, Barack Obama would not be able to spend a single penny. The American people were counting on the Republicans to put a lid on the wild spending of Barack Obama and the Democrats, and the Republicans in Congress have completely failed. Nobody wants to end the party. Because without a doubt, cutting back on our wild borrowing and spending would seriously damage the economy in the present, and nobody wants to be responsible for that. So now the only thing to do is to keep the party going for as long as possible until it ends in a horrible, fiery crash. Overall, the total amount of debt in the United States is now roughly equivalent to 350 percent of U.S. GDP, and a day of reckoning is rapidly approaching. Just consider what Charles Schwabs chief investment strategist, Liz Ann Sonders, recently told Business Insider Sonders noted that total debt public, private, nonfinancial, and financial had become 350% of gross domestic product, and that is already causing problems for the economy. The question I get all the time is: When are we going to hit the wall? When are we going to hit the debt wall? Sonders said. I think we hit the debt wall in 08, which unleashed a big round one of what I think will be a rolling set of crises and not just in the US but globally. And I very much agree with her. We definitely hit a wall in 2008, but it was just round one of our problems. The coming rounds are going to be even more painful, but most Americans dont understand this. Most Americans seem to believe that our debt-fueled standard of living can be sustained indefinitely and that there is nothing to be concerned about. Unfortunately, the laws of economics cannot be defied forever, and eventually the American people are going to experience economic and financial pain on a scale that we have never seen before in our entire history.

A real central bank of a real U.S. government would not be allowed to charge back unholy interest rates. The satanic owners printing money out of thin air for their own personal use then charging the sovereign (slave) and extracting taxes straight out of their hard earned labor is theft.

It cant be from one country to another because it would cancel itself out. NO all of this debt is supposedly owed to bankers. Bankers who have used their money to buy our politicians at the cost of the people. Pure treason. Cancel this odious debt and start over. Jail the bankers for fraud. Or hang them. 
2	U.S. Soldiers In The Middle East Forced To Observe Sharia Law During Ramadan According to recent reports, United States soldiers serving in the Middle East are now being required to follow sharia law during the month of Ramadan. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. The Muslim ritual lasts for 30 days, and is set to disrupt the routines of many of our soldiers. Reports indicate that personnel will be required to make changes to their daily livesincluding eliminating all coffee from their diet for a month. Just is just one small change of many that our men and women in uniform will have to bear at the hands of the Obama administration. That change is minuscule compared to other restrictionslike reading the Bible publicly. And Navy officials are requiring personnel to dress in traditional garb while they are off-base during the holy month. Reports indicate that the Navy is demanding that men wear long-sleeved shirts and trousers, and women wear sleeved blouses with pants or skirts that cover their knees. These changes are not required by Bahraini authorities. What do you think? Is this absolutely absurd?

In a recent interview, two CBS News hosts tried to get Hanks to speak out against Trump. Instead, Hanks told them that if Trump were president, the country would be fine. Look, Americas going to be fine, Hanks responded when asked about a Trump presidency. Were the greatest, most resilient nation in the history of, of civilized, in all of civilization. Weve worked ourselves out of holes many, many times over and over again. I have no powers of clairvoyants like you geniuses in the news media, Hanks said. Im not saying hes going to be President of the United States. What Im saying is we are going to have the most hilarious September, October and first week of November in a very long time. And you people are going to be exhausted. What do you think of Hanks comments? Do you agree? 
1	Thunderous peals of Laughter were heard the night before last when indentured Servant GEORGE was witnessed to proclaim, 'Masters, am I not also a God-fearing Man? Do I not walk and talk and feel as you do? Is the love I know for my Children not unlike the love you know for yours?' So entertaining was this Mongrel Speech that owner Jeremiah Cooper lashed GEORGE a meager five and twenty times for his Misconduct. He later died from wounds sustained therein. On September 3, Plantation Owner SMITH witnessed an extremely humourous Sight, that of a diminutive Slave-Child of four yrs. carrying a heavy Wicker-Basket of yams much Larger than his own Person! 'His hands barely fit around the Basket, and you could hardly see his Face, the Negro-Child was so Miniature!' said a giggling SMITH who watched the child struggle with the Basket for one and one-half hours Time before the Honourable Plantation Owner went Inside to Rest before Supper. The Slave-Child is posted for Sale. On a particularly sweltering 12th day of August in Virginia, plantation owner Solomon Rigsdale accidentally chained a newly-purchased slave to the noon-Time stagecoach when he decided to escape the harshness of the sun and enjoy a moment of solitude in the shade. Upon departure of the stagecoach the slave was dragged to his death causing a great deal of mirth. Richard Allerton of Philadelphia reports that he witnessed a ridiculously droll incident when he observed a Master shoot a Musket Ball in his belly-warmer's pubis. The negress then farcically doubled-over and fell to the ground in a most whimsical fashion. From Mr. H_________: The Wednesday last, I was engaged as I oft am in the simple Pastime of taking a Bull-Whip to the Back-Side of my Slave ROBERT, whom I had caught in the Act of looking at a Bible as though the Arrangement of Words and Letters in it were familiar to his Mind, when against the Oddes of an overwhelming variety, as such a Thing has never happened, and it caused great MIRTH when it did happen, the Tail of the Whip snapped off and took Flight after the thirteenth Lash and in doing so put out the EYEBALL of an other of my Slaves, DAVID, whom I had also suspected of being in secret able to Read. I am quite certain he will not be putting his Eye to the Bible any longer, as he is now BLIND. A loyal and noble Canine brought much merriment to his Owners this week last, when the hirsute Hound was chained to an oak Tree, and in excellent IMITATION of modern-day Savages, began to Bark with Wild Temperament, Dug holes into the soil as Slaves in search of Escape are witnessed to do, and even Evacuated his Bowels in plain-sight in the manner of INFERIOR MEN. 
1	Feeling the need to get out of his suburban hometown and make a fresh start for himself, local man Gregory Forlano told reporters Tuesday he is seriously considering throwing all his belongings in the back of his car and making the exact same mistakes someplace far away. The 36-year-old Florida native said that after years feeling dissatisfied with his stale social life, his tedious dead-end job, and the monotony of his daily routine, he is on the verge of severing all ties to his current life in the Tampa area and lapsing into an equally unfulfilling existence for himself in a brand-new city. Ive just been spinning my wheels in this town for so long; I feel like I need to get out of here and become mired in the same problems somewhere completely new, said Forlano, adding that his discontent over residing in a cramped one-bedroom apartment and patronizing the same two dive bars with a group of shiftless, unambitious friends every weekend had motivated him to seek out an identically limited and unsatisfying existence outside of his comfort zone. I could really use a change of scenery. Its about time I headed to some new city where I can start over with a totally blank slate and instantly stumble backward into the same self-defeating behaviors that will ultimately leave me in an indistinguishable, pitiful situation within months. Ive gotten so used to being unfulfilled here that sometimes I forget theres a whole wide world out there where I could be equally depressed and joyless. I dont know where Im going to fritter away the next stage of my life just like Ive wasted the previous two decades, but I know it cant be here, he continued. Forlano told reporters that he hopes to leave behind the drudgery of his present lifestyle by taking to the open road with no destination in mind and driving until he finds another town where he feels he can put down new roots, continue making no effort to improve himself, and never pursue his passions. The unmarried administrative assistant added that he often spends his time daydreaming about making the move to a far-flung location where he would be surrounded by entirely new people with whom he could reassume his dispiriting series of disappointing OkCupid dates and brief, dysfunctional relationships. Explaining how he believed he needed to really shake things up, Forlano emphasized that the time had come for him to get out of Florida and slip into a virtually identical pattern of ordering takeout from one of three nearby restaurants and spending his ample downtime watching reruns of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in an entirely different state. Ive gotten so used to being unfulfilled here that sometimes I forget theres a whole wide world out there where I could be equally depressed and joyless, said Forlano, adding that he has begun asking himself whats stopping him from being just as miserable in Atlanta, Nashville, or even San Francisco. There are so many amazing places that Ive never been to before, and I feel I owe it to myself to take advantage of some new opportunities to experience the crushing professional stagnation and perpetual self-loathing Ive always felt. Honestly, at this point, I might just throw a dart at a map and go be a useless fuckup wherever it lands, he added. At press time, Forlano had reportedly reconsidered his choice, committing himself to digging even deeper into his rut in his hometown for the foreseeable future. 
3	China Is On A Debt Binge And A Buying Spree Unlike Anything The World Has Ever Seen BeforeMichael Snyder When it comes to reckless money creation, it turns out that China is the king. Over the past five years, Chinese bank assets have grown from about 9 trillion dollars to more than 24 trillion dollars. This has been fueled by the greatest private debt binge that the world has ever seen. According to a recent World Bank report, the level of private domestic debt in China has grown from about 9 trillion dollars in 2008 to more than 23 trillion dollars today. In other words, in just five years the amount of money that has been loaned out by banks in China is roughly equivalent to the amount of debt that the U.S. government has accumulated since the end of the Reagan administration. And Chinese bank assets now absolutely dwarf the assets of the U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan and the Bank of England combined. You can see an amazing chart which shows this right here. A lot of this hot money has been flowing out of China and into U.S. companies, U.S. stocks and U.S. real estate. Unfortunately for China (and for the rest of us), there are lots of signs that the gigantic debt bubble in China is about to burst, and when that does happen the entire world is going to feel the pain. It was Zero Hedge that initially broke this story. Over the past several years, most of the focus has been on the reckless money printing that the Federal Reserve has been doing, but the truth is that China has been far more reckless You read that right: in the past five years the total assets on US bank books have risen by a paltry $2.1 trillion while over the same period, Chinese bank assets have exploded by an unprecedented $15.4 trillion hitting a gargantuan CNY147 trillion or an epic $24 trillion some two and a half times the GDP of China! Putting the rate of change in perspective, while the Fed was actively pumping $85 billion per month into US banks for a total of $1 trillion each year, in just the trailing 12 months ended September 30, Chinese bank assets grew by a mind-blowing $3.6 trillion! Well, they have been on a buying spree unlike anything the world has ever seen before. For example, according to Reuters China has essentially bought the entire oil industry of Ecuador Chinas aggressive quest for foreign oil has reached a new milestone, according to records reviewed by Reuters: near monopoly control of crude exports from an OPEC nation, Ecuador. Last November, Marco Calvopia, the general manager of Ecuadors state oil company PetroEcuador, was dispatched to China to help secure $2 billion in financing for his government. Negotiations, which included committing to sell millions of barrels of Ecuadors oil to Chinese state-run firms through 2020, dragged on for days. And the Chinese have been doing lots of shopping in the United States as well. The following is an excerpt from a recent CNBC article entitled Chinese buying up California housing At a brand new housing development in Irvine, Calif., some of Americas largest home builders are back at work after a crippling housing crash. Lennar, Pulte, K Hovnanian, Ryland to name a few. Its a rebirth for U.S. construction, but the customers are largely Chinese. They see the market here still has room for appreciation, said Irvine-area real estate agent Kinney Yong, of RE/MAX Premier Realty. Whats driving them over here is that they have this cash, and they want to park it somewhere or invest somewhere. Apparently a lot of these buyers have so much cash that they are willing to outbid anyone if they like the house The homes range from the mid-$700,000s to well over $1 million. Cash is king, and there is a seemingly limitless amount. The price doesnt matter, 800,000, 1 million, 1.5. If they like it they will purchase it, said Helen Zhang of Tarbell Realtors. So when you hear that housing prices are going up, you might want to double check the numbers. Much of this is being caused by foreign buyers that are gobbling up properties in certain hot markets. We see this happening on the east coast as well. In fact, a Chinese firm recently purchasedone of the most important landmarks in New York City Chinese conglomerate Fosun International Ltd. (0656.HK) will buy office building One Chase Manhattan Plaza for $725 million, adding to a growing list of property purchases by Chinese buyers in New York city. Earlier this month, Chinese state-owned developer Greenland Holdings Group agreed to buy a 70% stake in an apartment project next to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., in what is the largest commercial-real-estate development in the U.S. to get direct backing from a Chinese firm. And in a previous article, I discussed how the Chinese have just bought up the largest pork producer in the entire country Just think about what the Smithfield Foods acquisition alone will mean. Smithfield Foods is the largest pork producer and processor in the world. It has facilities in 26 U.S. states and it employs tens of thousands of Americans. It directly owns 460 farms and has contracts with approximately 2,100 others. But now a Chinese company has bought it for $4.7 billion, and that means that the Chinese will now be the most important employer in dozens of rural communities all over America. For many more examples of how the Chinese are gobbling up companies, real estate and natural resources all over the United States, please see my previous article entitled Meet Your New Boss: Buying Large Employers Will Enable China To Dominate 1000s Of U.S. Communities. But more than anything else, the Chinese seem particularly interested in acquiring real money. In recent years, the Chinese have been buying up thousands of tons of gold at very depressed prices. Meanwhile, the western world has been unloading gold at a staggering pace. By the time this is all over, the western world is going to end up bitterly regretting this massive transfer of real wealth. Unfortunately for the Chinese, it appears that the unsustainable credit bubble that they have created is starting to burst. According to Bloomberg, the amount of bad loans that the five largest banks in China wrote off during the first half of this year was three times larger than last year Chinas biggest banks are already affected, tripling the amount of bad loans they wrote off in the first half of this year and cleaning up their books ahead of what may be a fresh wave of defaults. Industrial Commercial Bank of China Ltd. and its four largest competitors expunged 22.1 billion yuan of debt that couldnt be collected through June, up from 7.65 billion yuan a year earlier, regulatory filings show. And Goldman Sachs is projecting that China may be facing 3 trillion dollars in credit losses as this bubble implodes Interest owed by borrowers rose to an estimated 12.5 percent of Chinas economy from 7 percent in 2008, Fitch Ratings estimated in September. By the end of 2017, it may climb to as much as 22 percent and ultimately overwhelm borrowers. Meanwhile, Chinas total credit will be pushed to almost 250 percent of gross domestic product by then, almost double the 130 percent of 2008, according to Fitch. The nation might face credit losses of as much as $3 trillion as defaults ensue from the expansion of the past four years, particularly by non-bank lenders such as trusts, exceeding that seen prior to other credit crises, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. estimated in August. The Chinese are trying to get this debt spiral under control by tightening the money supply. That may sound wise, but the truth is that it is going to create a substantial credit crunch and the entire globe will end up sharing in the pain Yields on Chinese government debt have soared to their highest levels in nearly nine years amid Beijings relentless drive to tighten the monetary spigots in the worlds second-largest economy. This could ultimately be a much bigger story than whether or not the Fed decides to taper or not. So as the flow of hot money out of China starts to slow down, what is that going to mean for the rest of the planet? And when you consider this in conjunction with the fact that China has just announced that it is going to stop stockpiling U.S. dollars, it becomes clear that we have reached a major turning point in the financial world. 2014 is shaping up to be a very interesting year, and nobody is quite sure what is going to happen next.

2	Donald Trump Reveals THIS Awesome Fact About Himself The Oregon shooting was a terrible tragedy. It does, however, bring to light the topic of the Second Amendment. Trump tells the nation that the school teachers should have been armed. He then goes on to tell the nation he has a license to carry in New York! Somebody attacks me, theyre gonna be shocked, says Trump. Let me tell you, if you had a couple teachers with guns in that room, you would have been a hell of a lot better off, Trump said at a rally in Franklin, Tenn., on Saturday. This is about self-defense, plain and simple. After the event, the Republican frontrunner told reporters that he is a member of the National Rifle Association, and had consulted the group in developing his gun policy. Authorities say the 26-year-old shooter, Christopher Sean Harper-Mercer, brought at least six guns and five ammunition magazines to the Roseburg, Ore., campus, where he shot and killed nine people and wounded seven others. This isnt a gun problem; this is a mental problem, Trump told CNN. Its not a question of the laws; its really the people. Yahoo! Politics Report Teachers NEED to be armed in case of an emergency like this. Mentally ill people such as Christopher Sean Harper-Mercer will always be around. We the people need to be ready and armed for when horrible things like this happen. Do you guys think every schoolteacher should have a gun safe and secure? 
3	People Over Politics: Michigan Militia Joins Michael Moore to Protest Flint Water CrisisBy Carey Wedler Moore, a Flint native who first gained notoriety for his his documentary on the towns economic hardships, hasspoken out against the state and local governments negligent handling of the disaster. The high volume of lead in public water supplies has contaminated childrens blood and led Flints mayor to declare a state of emergency. The crisis has drawn widespread attention and outrage. At a rally on January 16, Michael Moore said, I am standing in the middle of a crime scene. Ten people have been killed because of a decision to save money. The citys water supply was changed from Detroits water supply to the Flint River in 2014, in spite of the new sources reputation for being filled with contaminants like raw sewage and tires. As Anti-Media previously reported, The shift in supply was a result of failed procedures and negotiations to continue purchasing the water. Further, the states Department of Environmental Quality has admitted its failure in not requiring that non-corrosive additives be added to the water during treatment to counteract the lead that seeps into water from old pipes. Authorities at the state level reportedly belittled concerns from Flints local community about the quality of their water. The national EPA has also been criticized for its involvement (or lack thereof) in the water crisis. These examples of incompetence and corruption, along with the residents ongoing suffering, led Moore to speak out. Meanwhile, the Michigan militia, known as the Genesee County Volunteer Militia, has been working with the Red Cross to deliver clean water door-to-door, making stops that include a senior living facility and an elementary school. The Detroit Free Press reported that ina news release, the militia said, It is nothing less than shocking that our elected officials would try to hide the hazards that residents are being subjected to just by drinking a simple glass of tap water!!! Further, the group demanded more information from the government on who was involved in the cover-up. Details have emerged that suggest Governor Rick Snyder and his administrationignored warnings about the looming crisis and that Snyderhas since tried to hidethis prior knowledge. He released emails this week that were largelyredacted, and Michael Moore has called for his arrest. Themilitia is planning a rally for Sunday at 2pm at the City of Flint Municipal Center, and is workingwith Moore to ensure voices of dissent are continually heard. Were trying to coordinate so the protests dont stop, Dave McKellar, a member of the right-wingarmed force said. He owns a tree service business in Flint. McKellar expressed his willingness to work with More in spite of differences of opinion on other matters. We dont see eye-to-eye on many things, said McKellar. For him to step forward and say something good this time I agree with him. As McKellar said of the militia, What we are is a constitutional defense force. We protect people who cant protect themselves in time of disaster, be it man-made or other. Still, the militia has made it clear its focus is not on weapons, but on the crisis at hand. The group posted on Facebook about its upcoming Sunday protest, noting, We ask that you only wear side arms and not long rifles, this is not about our 2nd Amendment, this is about the infringement on the good people of Flint. The alliance between the militia and Michael Moore is admittedly unlikely. One of Moores most successful films, Bowling for Columbine, focused on the negative effects of guns in America, and the lefts reaction to the Oregon standoff including calls to drone strike the so-called domestic terrorists have highlighted contentious, long-running divisions between armed protest movements and liberal causes. Animosity between left and right in the United States has reached fever-pitch on countless issues, from healthcare to police brutality to the Syrian refugee crisis. Nevertheless, the two seemingly conflicting parties have placed the health of their fellow citizens above partisan hatred. Though they do not appear to have established a permanent relationship, Moore and the militias collaboration suggests that, perhaps, Americans can share a common cause. Indeed, a wide variety of groups have stepped up to help residents of Flint. In addition to MichaelMoore, the militia, and the Red Cross, an Islamic charity, local activists,and a Native American tribe have committed to helping the struggling community, along with countless Americans across the country.

2	Obama Just Shamed America In The Worst Way Possible [VIDEO] In his last term of presidency, Barack Obama has been known to publicly criticize the United States in front of our foreign allies. Such was the case when the President decided to discuss Americas failure on human rights to the Summit of the Americas in Panama City. I am student of history so I tend to actually be familiar with many of these episodes that have been mentioned, Obama told the audience. I am the first to acknowledge that Americas application to concern around human rights has not always been consistent. Obama then went on to call our history a dark one. Im certainly mindful that there are dark chapters in our owner history, he continued, in which we have not always observed the principles and ideals upon which the country was founded. Watch the video below and tell us what you think of Obamas comments. 
2	Donald Trump Under Fire For Saying He Will Do THIS To Captured Terrorists On Saturaday nights ABC debate, Donald Trump received an incredibly uncommon combination of cheers and boos as he declared his intentions with enhanced interrogation tactics. Trump said that he would bring back a hell of lot worse than waterboarding. This is one of the most controversial topics out there. On the one hand, many believe that no human being deserves to be subjected to such horrible tactics. On the other hand, just as many think that the terrorists have done such horrible things, they deserve even worse than waterboarding. And if these tactics could help save lives in the future by revealing classified information, then many think that we should do it without a second thought. What do you think of interrogation tactics such as waterboarding? Watch the full interaction between the moderator and candidates as they talk about waterboarding in the video below. 
1	In an effort to expand womens presence in traditionally male-dominated fields, the STEM Education Coalition launched a new initiative Tuesday dedicated to inspiring young girls to pursue math and science educations so they could one day earn less than men in academic or private-sector professions. If America intends to maintain its status as an international research leader, we must do more to encourage young women to enter careers in engineering and technology where theyll be paid, on average, $4,000 less than their male peers for doing the same work, said program director Elizabeth Grant, stressing that the strategy would include inspirational K-12 classroom visits by female scientists, televised ad campaigns, and mentorship opportunities targeted at showing young girls that they too could attain a position in which they have fewer opportunities for professional advancement relative to men and are regarded as less competent by their superiors. Todays girls have the potential to become the physicists and chemists of tomorrow, powerlessly watching as their male counterparts are promoted over them, their intellects are ignored, and their research is underrepresented in scientific journals. Our mission is to let every young woman know that such a future isnt a fantasy; its a reality they can most certainly achieve. Grant admitted, however, that such opportunities depended upon the slim chance that these girls even managed to be hired from a predominantly male applicant pool in the first place. 
3	Cant Find a Job? Join a TimebankJeffrey Green Think of Timebanking as incentivized voluntary community service. TimeBanks.org describes timebanking as follows: In other words, its like a labor barter network which results in stronger communities. Watch this video to see how Timebanking works: They operate in the gray economy because it is economic activity which happens outside traditional corporate legacy systems or government regulation and taxing schemes. Its a socialpeer-to-peer economy based on user reputation instead of regulation. Powered by the Internet, these services can reach a huge network effect quickly to offer efficient services in any community. This technology is being used to organize Timebanks like the Onion River Exchange in Vermont: If youre unemployed and looking to survive, or just someone who wants to build strong community networks, Timebanks are an avenue worth pursuing. Its never been easier, as TimeBanks.org enables you to search for one in your area and anyone to set up a community TimeBank powered by their platform. Recently from Jeffrey Green:

3	Monopoly Board Game Goes Cashless: Barcodes Introduced to Track Players and TransactionsBy Kevin Samson The war on cash in the real world is taking place on many fronts from penalizing the holding of it through negative interest rates; eradicating large-denomination banknotes; surveillance of it through Suspicious Activity Reports; or outright banning larger transactions. Perhaps recognizing that todays children might very soon not understand how to even use cash or maybe to help to speed up their education and acceptance the Monopoly board game is certainly living up to its name by promoting a future of centralized bank surveillance and management. Fittingly, the new version calls itself Ultimate Banking. Monopoly has always been a game of dominance through property acquisition, involuntary rent, and bankrupting the opposition to ultimately control every aspect of an economy. Its 100-year-plus popularity in more than 100 countries and nearly 40 languages speaks to its global role in either social commentary or social engineering. Monopoly presented its first digital versions in the post-2005 era beginning with cash replaced by Visa-branded debit cards. Further modernization of gameplay replaced their iconic tokens with choices like a Segway, flat-screen TV or a space shuttle, instead of a ship, car, or wheelbarrow. This eventually morphed into a full electronic banking unit that digitized the scorekeeping, thus eliminating the black-market element of hidden cash and other means of presumably fudging the numbers. Todays version goes one step further, again in tandem with society at large taking its next steps toward a full cashless reality where surveillance is openly admitted to. Instead of the slower manual entering of transactions into the central keypad, all properties come with a scanable barcode that, when purchased, will be automatically deducted from a players funds. The same applies to rent payments everything is done by barcode and automatic deduction. In this way, not only are transactions accounted for, but the players themselves are integrated into the central banking database. According to PYMNTS.com, the transfer of traditional tabletop gaming has been trending toward the high-tech for some time, trying to keep pace with its video game counterparts. These platforms are being embraced by the public in record numbers: According to an article from ICv2, a firm that reports on the Business of Geek Culture, the hobby board game industry climbed to $880 million dollars in 2014, which marked a 20 percent increase in year-over-year sales. . As an article by CNBC recently reported, board game projects are attracting tens of thousands of fans on online crowdfunding sites, some amassing millions of dollars in only a few weeks time. The strategy game Scythe, for example, began its Kickstarter campaign in mid-October with a pledge goal of $33,000 and ended with $1.8 million. . According to CNBC, BoardGameGeek.com, an online hub for board game hobbyists, was founded in Jan. 2000 with less than 5,000 users. By Nov. 2015, the site had grown to 1.15 million users, with roughly 55 million page views per month. For now just like in the real world the cashless version of Monopoly is optional, but the trend certainly would indicate that at some point its traditional version will become a mere relic. And there is still much that can be done to advance its gameplay further in order to maintain parity with what is being introduced in modern real-world payment systems I fully expect that it will be sooner rather than later when Monopoly will grace us with its Biometric Banking version. Wouldnt it just be so much more convenient if facial recognition sped things up a bit more? Google is already working on a new digital wallet to do just that. After all, how much longer will it be that kids even know what a credit card is? Gary Franchi reports below on Monopolys further parallels to real-world banking.

1	Upset with his lackluster fouling performance through Game 4 of the NBA conference finals, Cavaliers guard Delonte West stayed after team practice to work on fouling drills Wednesday night. 'I still haven't gotten into a good fouling rhythm yet,' said West, who joined Anderson Varejao and Dahntay Jones for two extra hours to practice knocking down one another's shooting arms. 'We need to go back to basics and commit fundamentally sound fouls, so we're doing the classic drillsthe Hammerdown, the Hot Swat, and Murder-Suicides, where we run to the foul line, shove a guy down, run to half-court, headlock a guy. We are not going to win this series unless we're punching [Hedo] Turkoglu in the face and throwing our hands up in the air to indicate that it was not a foul.' West ended the interview by catching a reporter in the jaw with his elbow and pushing him to the ground. 
2	Watch These Fox News Erupt Into Huge Fight Over Trump Live On The Air [VIDEO] Fox News Channels Dana Perino is infamous for holding her colleagues to task when she feels their defense of Republican nominee Donald Trump is disingenuous. Last week, the former White House press secretary who served under President Bush criticized Eric Bolling for his support of Trump. Bolling made the argument that polling results must be inaccurate because Trump regularly attracts more rally attendees than Hillary Clinton. Perino was quick to accuse him of lying to his audience. She insisted he did a real disservice to his supporters to lie to them that these polls dont matter. During Thursdays episode of the afternoon news talk program, the panel discussed Trumps shifting position on immigration reform. Brian Kilmeade suggested it might encourage some of Trumps critics. For Marco Rubio and Gov. [John] Kasich, Kilmeade opined, you wonder if this may be, OK, I can support him. And other Republicans who are on the sideline who said Im going to lose Hispanic votes if I go for him, now I can support him. Even Kilmeade acknowledged in the segment that Trump has put himself at risk by doing this. Watch the segment below and tell us what you think. 
3	Can Robots Bring Jobs Back to America? (Infographic)Nicholas West What is your view of the facts presented in the infographic below, as well as the article linked above? There clearly is a new economy that has been ramping up over the last few years, so we should be informed about both sides of this argument to avoid getting blindsided by the outcome. Much like the debate about where the Singularity could be taking us (fear or not fear), our high tech world is going to change our society for good or ill and at an exponential rate. Now is the time to become informed, involved, and share this information with everyone you can. From the creators of this infographic: The rise of robotic automation in the manufacturing and packaging industry is often blamed for the steep job losses in U.S. manufacturing, along with the rampant outsourcing of labor to cheaper workforces. But a real look at the facts and stats show that things just arent that cut and dry. Read other articles by Nicholas West HERE linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	Nestle Pays Only $524 to Extract 27,000,000 Gallons of California Drinking WaterBy Claire Bernish Drought-shaming worked sufficiently enough for Starbucks to stop bottling water in the now-arid state entirely, uprooting its operations all the way to Pennsylvania. But Nestle simply shrugged off public outrage and then upped the ante by increasing its draw from natural springs most notoriously in the San Bernardino National Forest with an absurdly expired permit. Because profit, of course. Or, perhaps more befittingly, theft. But you get the idea. Nestle has somehow managed the most sweetheart of deals for its Arrowhead 100% Mountain Spring Water, which is ostensibly sourced from Arrowhead Springs and which also happens to be located on public land in a national forest. In 2013, the company drew 27 million gallons of water from 12 springs in Strawberry Canyon for the brand apparently by employing rather impressive legerdemain considering the permit to do so expired in 1988. But, as Nestle will tell you, that really isnt cause for concern since it swears it is a good steward of the land and, after all, that expired permits annual fee has been diligently and faithfully paid in full all $524 of it. And that isnt the only water it collects. Another 51 million gallons of groundwater were drawn from the area by Nestle that same year. There is another site the company drains for profit while Californias historic drought rages on: Deer Canyon. Last year, Nestle drew 76 million gallons from the springs in that location, which is a sizable increase over 2013s 56 million-gallon draw and under circumstances just as questionable as water collection at Arrowhead. This extensive collection of water is undoubtedly having detrimental effects on the ecosystem and its numerous endangered and threatened species, though impact studies arent available because they were mysteriously stopped before ever getting underway. In fact, the review process necessary to renew Nestles antiquated permit met a similarly enigmatic termination: once planning stages made apparent the hefty price tag and complicated steps said review would entail, the review was simply dropped. Completely. Without any new stipulations or stricter regulations added to the expired permit that Nestle was ostensibly following anyway though, obviously, that remains an open question. In 2014, Nestle used roughly 705 million gallons of water in its operations in California, according to natural resource manager Larry Lawrence. Thats 2,164 acre-feet of water enough to irrigate 700 acres of farmland or fill 1,068 Olympic-sized swimming pools, as Ian James pointed out in The Desert Sun. Though there is no way to verify exactly how much Nestle must spend to produce a single bottle of Arrowhead spring water, the astronomical profit is undeniable fact: the most popular size of a bottle of Arrowhead 100% Mountain Spring Water (1 liter) retails for 89 putting the potential profit for Nestle in the tens of billions. selfnewss have called for a boycott of Nestle Waters and all Nestle products until they are held accountable for their actions in California. There is much more to be revealed in future articles as the investigation into Nestles reckless profit-seeking during Californias unprecedented drought continues.

1	As part of an ongoing effort to rejuvenate its public transportation system, the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority announced Wednesday that it had signed a three-year, $32 million deal hiring Academy Awardwinning actress Charlize Theron to ride the city's light-rail lines eight hours a day, Monday through Friday. 'Each work week, Ms. Theron will bring the glitz and glamour of a Hollywood movie premiere right to Cleveland's own RTA Rapid Transit trains,' spokesperson Ted Reardon said of the agreement, which will also require the 36-year-old Hancock star to use Cleveland's public buses for 14 consecutive hours on the third Saturday of every month. 'Who knows? You might just see Charlize on the Red Line, the Blue Line, or sleeping on a wooden bench in the Tower City station!' This latest initiative reportedly builds on the Cleveland water service's recent awareness program, which largely involved paying Alfred Molina to swim laps in the central reservoir. 
1	Declaring that the terrorist organizations actions can no longer be ignored, President Obama vowed Wednesday that the United States would use precision airstrikes for as long as needed to ensure that ISIS is divided into dozens of extremist splinter groups. ISIS poses a significant threat to U.S. interests both overseas and at home, and that is why we are committed to a limited military engagement that will fracture the terrorist networks leadership and consequently create a myriad of smaller cells, each with its own violent, radical agenda, said Obama during a primetime address to the nation, stressing that any campaign to transform the group into a patchwork of volatile jihadist factions will not be performed unilaterally, but rather with the support and cooperation of key allies in the region. I have already discussed this plan with congressional leaders, and I have no doubt that our efforts will eventually replace this militant organization with many smaller but equally determined groups bent on using extreme brutality to impose fundamentalist Islamic rule. It will not happen overnight, but I can assure the American public that, in time, this group will be defeated, allowing us to focus our attention on the countless threats to homeland security posed by its many immediate successors. Obama added that while the ISIS campaign will not involve American boots on the ground, he reserves the right to deploy troops should one or more of the spin-off cells grow to be even more powerful. 
3	US government shipped bio-chem weapons? Absurd!Jon Rappoport What happened 25 years ago? Forget it. Whats going on with Miley Cyrus? Is she still twerking? Nevertheless, Ill give it a try. Keep two twerks in mind. In 1975, the US signed on to an international treaty banning the production, use, and stockpiling of biological weapons. Ditto for chemical weapons, in 1993. Another treaty. Heres a twerky quote from the Washington 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 And now, heres a flurry of boggling twerks Twerk One: 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. Twerk Two: 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. This information on the American Type Culture Collection and the CDC comes from a report, IRAQS BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS PROGRAM, prepared by the Center for Nonproliferation Studies. The report contains ample reference citations. Twerk Four: 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. Boom. Twerk Five: 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. Twerk Six: 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. Twerk Seven (the cover-up): 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 study, Joshua Lederberg, was actually a director of the US firm that had provided the most biowar material to Iraq in the 1980s: the American Type Culture Collection. Twerk Eight (one hand washes the other): Newsday revealed that the CEO of the American Type Culture Collection was a member of the US Dept. of Commerces Technical Advisory Committee. See, the Dept. of Commerce had to license and approve all those exports of biowar agents carried out by the American Type Culture Collection. Get the picture? Now, as to other US companies which dealt biowar or chemwar agents to Iraqall such sales having been okayed 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: Twerk Nine (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. Twerk Ten (dept. of mind-boggling excuses): 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. Twerk Eleven: There has been 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? One thing is certain. A US government investigation isnt going look into that possibility.

2	Putin Actually Laughs In Clintons Face, Shes No More Than A... This week, Donald Trump launched a series of events devoted to military policy. He has also focused in on his opponent, Hillary Clinton. While speaking to an audience in a military community, Trump promised to defeat the Islamic State, address the crisis at VA medical facilities around the nation, block Syrian and Middle Eastern refugees, and change the nuclear agreement with Iran. He referred the existing agreement as one of the dumbest deals Ive ever seen. This is one of the most dangerous times weve ever had, Trump said, claiming we have not kept up and the nation is at stake. He also targeted Clinton specifically, going after him on issues ranging from problems in Libya to her handling of her private email server. He pushed back against the FBIs decision saying were like a third-world country and arguing Clinton is a disaster in so many different ways. Putin looks at her and he laughs, Trump said Clinton, clearly pushing back on claims from the Clinton campaign that he has been friendly with Putin and Russia. Trump also promised to focus in on veterans, and particularly female veterans who are being left behind by the system. Trump is expected to address military themes at events later this week in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida. What do you think of Trumps strategy?

1	Stressing the importance of being prepared for any circumstance that may occur, local man James Donner told reporters Monday he carries a gun on his person at all times in case he ever needs to escalate a situation. I never leave home without my Glock, because you just dont know when someone might mouth off to you in a bar and leave you with no choice but to turn a minor altercation into a tense life-or-death scenario, said Donner, noting that he keeps his loaded weapon in a hip holster should the need arise for him to respond quickly, and with deadly force, when he is angered by a perceived slight. Look, I hope to God no one ever tries to hit on my wife while Im within earshot, but in the real world, things like this do happen. Sometimes you only have a split second to react and make things exponentially more dangerous. At press time, sources confirmed Donner was pulling up next to a Honda Civic that had cut him off in traffic several blocks earlier. 
3	India Cash Ban Could Get Worse: We Dont Even Have Enough Money to Buy FoodBy Mac Slavo Suddenly, things are moving faster than anyone could have imagined. Officially, the government of India believes their demonetization efforts to haul in some 86% of the cash in circulation will bolster the economy and improve the situation for the worlds second most populous country. But on the ground, and in reality, the pain is still spreading and it could become even worse. The cost of goods is increasing sharply and the poor and working classes are being hit hard and many are still waiting in long bank lines to deposit what little they have. Cash-related industries, which dominate Indian daily life, including tourism, shops, farming, vendors, day labor, jewelry and the informal industries are facing huge declines as cash bans have severely cut back their business. via Business Insider: Modis announcement that 500 and 1,000 rupee bills making up 86% of Indias currency were no longer legal tender has posed an enormous hardship for millions of people who use cash for everything from salaries to cellphone charges. Empty ATMs and ever-changing rules are preventing people from withdrawing money, and many small, cash-reliant businesses from cinemas to neighborhood grocery stores are suffering huge losses or going under. Daily commerce in essentials including food, medicine, and transportation screeched almost to a halt. Real estate, tourism, transportation, and gold and gems have been hit the hardest, along with informal sectors that rely mostly on cash. Prices are forecast to rise since the cash crunch is pinching supplies of all sorts of goods. The first two months have been so bad for us, we dont even have enough money to buy food, daily wage laborer Neeraj Mishra, 35, said. Worst affected were the countrys hundreds of millions of farmers, produce vendors, small-shop owners and daily-wage laborers who usually are paid in cash at the end of a days work. Many lost their jobs as small businesses shut down, compounding their poverty. The direct shortage of cash, with no reliable alternative system in wide use among the nations poorer majority, resulted in demand that outstripped supply on every front for physical cash and a means of exchange. This is how quickly they could bring things to a halt. The inhumane impact on literally hundreds of millions of poor people there remains largely in the background of policy discussions which have actually been branded as fighting for the poorest as banking modernization becomes the most important factor. So far, despite the widespread inconvenience and costs The Indian government is urging patience, insisting its playing a long game that will eventually modernize Indian society and benefit the poor. Since domestic commerce drives most economic activity, analysts have expressed alarm over the scale of economic and social disruption and are warning a contraction is likely in coming quarters. [] The wide impact of the demonetization wont be known until the government issues its next quarterly gross-domestic-product figures in February, but the Reserve Bank of India already has shaved half a percentage point from this years GDP growth forecast, to 7.1%. If the United States banned the $100 bill tomorrow, and perhaps the $50 as well, as many bureaucrats and banking insiders have suggested, there would be a massive impact at home as well. Despite the fact that a majority of transactions in America are now electronic, cash still remains a stubbornly viable exchange medium for all sectors of society, across wealth and age brackets, and remains especially vital for the working poor who often rely upon cash for daily transactions.

It is coming here soon if we arent careful. What a coincidence that banning cash is right out of Agenda 21/ 2030 Agenda!! who s smart will run from IND. the entire nation needs to march on all the major cities a la V for Vendetta, after all there are 1.2 billion of them. This is what happens when the goat worshipers have stolen the wealth of the world and now are pushing against humanity. These monsters need to be rounded up and put on a spaceship to the effing SUN. No onboard controls. Set the controls for the heart of the Sun! Thatll teach them to never trust fiat money again. There is a reason that gold is still king in India, most families keep their wealth in the shiny yellow metal and associated gems and precious metals. Imagine if they can do this with paper money, how much easier it will be on your implanted microchip.

1	Acknowledging that his best years were most likely behind him, local 2-year-old Spencer Boyd admitted to reporters Thursday that he cant quite point out things like he used to in his prime. A month ago, I was so much quicker at letting everyone know if I saw a train, a car, a rockyou name it, said Boyd, adding that he couldnt help but feel like, nowadays, hes just going through the motions whenever he notices a bug, points at the bug, and says bug several times. Yesterday, I saw a fire truck. A big, red fire truck, going fast, but I just kept it to myself. I used to see something and say what it was right away. Now, Ill stare at it for a few minutes first. I guess Ive lost my touch. At press time, the washed-up toddler was spotted desperately trying to reignite that lost spark by pointing out everything in his field of vision. 
1	WASHINGTON, DCAs the nation approaches the one-year anniversary of the Super Bowl XXXVIII tragedy, an FCC study shows that millions of U.S. children were severely traumatized by the exposure to a partially nude female breast during the Feb. 1, 2004 halftime show. Jackson irrevocably damages millions of American children. 'No one who lived through that day is likely to forget the horror,' said noted child therapist Dr. Eli Wasserbaum. 'But it was especially hard on the children.' The tragic wardrobe malfunction occurred approximately 360 days ago, during Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's performance of 'Rock Your Body,' when Timberlake tore Jackson's costume, accidentally revealing her right breast. 'By the time CBS cut to an aerial view of the stadium, the damage was done,' said Wasserbaum, who has also worked extensively with orphaned and amputee children in Third World war zones. 'I've found that children can be amazingly resilient, but this event was too much for many of them to take. The horrible image of that breast is likely to haunt them for the rest of their lives.' According to the 500-page report filed by the FCC, more than 90 percent of the children who saw the exposed breast said they were 'confused and afraid.' 'Mommy has dirty chest bumps,' said a 5-year-old boy quoted in one of the thousands of case studies compiled by the FCC. 'She's like the bad lady on TV. I'm afraid Mommy will take off her shirt and scare everyone. I hate Mommy.' Girls were traumatized as well, often expressing apprehensions about sexual development. According to Wasserbaum, one 8-year-old girl told her parents that she didn't 'want to get evil breasts.' Wasserbaum said children of both genders associate their trauma with footballs, presumably because of the context in which they were exposed to the breast. A great number of children who witnessed the tragedy are still plagued by nightmares of sun-shapes that recall Jackson's nipple ring. Of the infants who saw the breast, 76 percent are unwilling to breast feed or use a bottle, forcing their parents to nourish them intravenously. 'When the tragedy took place, we knew it would cause psychological trauma, but we had no idea how long the effects would last,' Wasserbaum said.'Our worst fears have been confirmed. It will take years to repair the damage.' Cases of deviant sexual development induced by breast-glimpsing are widespread amongst older children. Pathologies range from schoolyard exhibitionism to gender-role confusion and violent shirt-tearing. 'The FCC imposed the maximum $27,500 penalty on each of the 20 CBS-owned television stations,' Wasserbaum said. 'But the government offered no recompense to the individuals exposed to the breast. And neither Jackson nor Timberlake has ever specifically apolgized to the children whose lives they ruined, or donated a penny for the adolescents' psychiatric care.' Across America, parental concern over the condition doctors have dubbed Nearly Naked Breast Disorder continues to grow. Drawings by children who saw the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show. 'How can my son Brandon be expected to make it through something like that unscathed?' asked mother of four Shonali Bhomik of the San Francisco-based What About the Children? Foundation, one of many social-awareness groups spearheading the fight for increased NNBD funding in Congress. 'For approximately 1.5 seconds, he saw a breast. The image was seared into his innocent, tiny retinas. He can't close his eyes without replaying the whole ugly scene over and over in his little head.' 'For the love of Godthat breast was almost nude,' Bhomik added. Bhomik said she has concerns about her son's development. 'I shudder to think how this could affect my son once he reaches puberty,' Bhomik said. 'Little Brandon just wanted to watch the fun halftime show with his family. He was only 10 years old.' Bhomik is one of millions of people facing every parent's worst nightmare: that their child will see a partially exposed breast. Wasserbaum said there is no way to predict whether the children will recover. 'One thing is certain,' Wasserbaum said. 'For us as a nation, the horrific consequences of almost-nakedness have only just begun to make themselves apparent.' Wasserbaum added that children who saw the televised breast in Europe, Australia, and various other nations throughout the world were somehow unaffected by the sight.

2	Judge Gives Sheriff Joe Devastating News... Please Send Your Prayers For years now, liberals have been doing everything they can to silence Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who has taken a strong and controversial stand on many issues, including illegal immigration. Now, it appears that they are one step closer to shutting him down. According to recent reports, U.S. District Judge Murray Snow has requested an ongoing contempt-of-court charge be placed against Arpaio, sending him to criminal court. Arpaios reelection vote is just around the corner, and his campaign manager has some serious questions about the timing of the request. I am not impugning his motives or questioning his integrity, Chad Williams commented. It just seems whenever a major decision comes out, the timing is curious. Arpaio is already facing his toughest election, given that he is already 84-years-old. He will also be competing against former Buckeye Police Chief Dan Saban, retired Deputy Wayne Baker, and former commander of a volunteer group, Marsha Hill. At this time, it is unclear how significantly the request for the charges will affect the election. The charges stem from a class action lawsuit filed in 2007, charging both the Maricopa County Sheriffs Department and Arpaio specifically with discrimination and racial profiling. The lawsuit argued that Hispanic residents were being pulled over illegally and being detained. Arpaios lawyer, Mel McDonald, confirmed that Arpaio would rather go to trial than accept a deal. We would like the voters of Maricopa County to judge this, McDonald said. If convicted, Arpaio could face up to six years in jail. 
2	Obamas Response To Marine Beaten By Black Mob Were yet to hear any comment from Barack Obama on the white-Hispanic Marine who was attacked, beaten and robbed by Black Lives Matter advocate at a McDonalds. Christopher Marquez, the victim of this crime, is still waiting for his president to speak out against this hate crime. And it appears he is going to be waiting for a long time. Marquez received the Bronze Star for valor after serving in the Iraq war. He fought to protect our country. And yet, he couldnt even enjoy a meal at a local McDonalds without a group of teenage thugs harassing him, asking him, Do you believe Black Lives Matter? Marquez tried to ignore the group, but the situation quickly escalated. He was ultimately knocked unconscious and robbed of $400 cash and the rest of the contents of his wallet. I believe this was a hate crime, and I was targeted because of my skin color, Marquez told reporters. Too many of these types of attacks have been happening against white people by members of the black community and the majority of the mainstream media refuses to report on it. What do you think? Would this story be all over the news if the races in this incident were reversed? 
3	Sheriffs Prepare to Abandon Citizens to Federal Gun GrabBrandon Turbeville My case in point is Kershaw County Sheriff Jim Matthews. Matthews conversion of Kershaw County into a virtual police state, as well as his continued attack on all things free, should thus have raised the suspicions as to the sincerity of many of the sheriffs who had attached their names to the Will Not Enforce list regarding the latest attempts at eliminating the Second Amendment. Of course, at issue is the fact that if new gun laws are passed banning assault weapons, assault weapons owners will no longer be following the law. This is why Matthews and other sheriffs were asked the question as to whether or not they would enforce such laws to begin with. Matthews went on to ask South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson for his opinion on the coming Federal gun grab. Essentially, Matthews requested AG Wilson to explain to him his responsibility as Sheriff when faced with an unconstitutional law. Still, Matthews stated that he does not believe sheriffs can stop federal agents from enforcing these laws in his jurisdiction. A lot of sheriffs want to be able to fall back on what the AG says on what we lawfully have to do or dont have to do, Matthews said. That opinion has finally arrived. Unfortunately, it confirms the weakness of state governments as well as the complete disregard for Constitutional, civil, and human rights at the federal, state, and local levels. According to Attorney General Wilson, if federal law enforcement officers attempt to enforce unconstitutional gun laws or even confiscate existing weapons, then neither state law nor state law enforcement officials can stand in the way. Going further, Wilson suggests that, if state or local law enforcement officials do attempt to impede federal assaults on the rights of South Carolinians, these state law enforcement officials would themselves be subject to criminal prosecution. Yet Wilsons opinion goes even further than stating that state and local law enforcement are unable to actually protect the rights of their citizens from federal assaults, it claims that federal agents are granted a type of immunity from state prosecution even if they are clearly violating Constitutional rights. The opinion states that federal agents are immune from state prosecution even when their conduct violated internal agency regulations or exceeded their express authority. This is quite a concerning statement to say the least. As the Kershaw County Patriots (KCP) wrote in the article, SC Attorney General: Come Get The Guns! KCP continues by writing, Yet, where Wilsons opinion truly falls apart is his statement that the Department (Kershaw County Sheriffs dept.) should neither interfere with nor otherwise attempt to impede federal law enforcement officers as they perform their lawful duties to enforce federal laws, and who act necessary and proper within federal authority. Simply reading this statement out of context would not ordinarily provide any reason for concern. Indeed, no department should interfere or attempt to impede federal law enforcement simply attempting to perform their lawful duties. However, this is precisely the issue. Are unconstitutional gun laws lawful duties? Are gun confiscation programs lawful duties? Even when discussing the repercussions of interfering with federal law enforcement agents who are carrying out unconstitutional laws, Wilson, citing the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution, states, Indeed, while Wilson and sheriffs like Jim Matthews have interpreted, heard, and repeated exactly what they wanted to hear, the operative phrase in this statement is lawful duties. What is so concerning here, is that elected officials who are supposed to be well versed in the law and who are tasked with evaluating and enforcing that law for the benefit and protection of the citizens of South Carolina can interpret the passage and enforcement of laws eviscerating the Second Amendment, even to the point of gun confiscation, as a lawful duty of federal agents. Thus, one must ask themselves if these agents of the State are truly as interested in upholding the law as they may pretend to be. Of course, as I mentioned earlier, no one who was even vaguely familiar with Sheriff Jim Matthews was truly fooled into believing that he ever intended to stand up for the rights of Kershaw County residents. Indeed, Sheriff Matthews and the overwhelming majority (most likely all) American sheriffs are enforcing unconstitutional gun laws on a daily basis. While the cries of the need to enforce the gun laws we already have may seem reasonable, the fact is that these gun laws are themselves unconstitutional. Unfortunately, while many of these sheriffs may very well have the best interest of their citizens at heart, and may very well mean what they say in regards to their refusal to enforce any new federal gun laws, the reality is that they have no problem enforcing similarly unconstitutional gun laws today or even caging an entirely peaceful person for years simply because that person is in possession of a harmless plant. As KCP state in their article, We must always support law enforcement when they choose to make the right decision. We must express our support for any sheriff that truly intends to stand up to the federal or state governments in the event that they attempt to use their own agents for the purpose of violating our rights. However, let us not fool ourselves into believing we are witnessing a law enforcement revolution of freedom. Make no mistake about it, we are alone in this fight.

3	State Bans Best Selling Motivational Book From PrisonsBy John Vibes It was recently announced that inmates in Utah will not be allowed to have access to two motivational books, both by author Robert Greene, one titled The 48 Laws of Power and the other The Art of Seduction. Librarian Christie Jensen told the Associated Press that prison officials were concerned that these books could be instructing inmates in manipulation tactics. However, this assessment of the material, especially The 48 Laws of Power could not be further from the truth. Author Robert Greene does focus on topics such as persuasion, and does explain how various powerful people through the ages were able to achieve success, but this could actually be a strong tool of empowerment for people that teaches them how to avoid manipulation and identify red flags in people who could be potential manipulators. Jensen even recognized that books of this nature could actually be used in a positive way, not just for manipulation. A case, I think, could be made for How to Win Friends and Influence People that that book could be used for evil, as well. But we have that because that book is for positive reasons: how to make friends, how to influence people for good, she said. Anna Brower Thomas of the Utah American Civil Liberties Union pointed out that prison officials can arbitrarily ban any book they want for any reason. People can learn how to manipulate other people through all sorts of different sources. What is it about these two books that is so dangerous? she asked. It is important to understand how fallible and corrupt the legal system is when reading stories about people in prison, because many innocent people end up behind bars. Even among those technically guilty of breaking some law, a vast majority (nearly 70% according to some statistics) are peaceful people, or so called nonviolent offenders who dont belong in prison to begin with. These people are not guilty of any transgression, and they are in fact themselves victims of State violence. In the past 3 decades the prison system has grown into a monstrous system of oppression that now houses over 2 and a half million people in the US. That is by far the largest prison population in the world; no country on earth has as many inmates as the land of the free. Ironic isnt it? Since 1991 the violent crime rate in America has dropped at least 20%, while the amount of people in prison has increased by 50% in that time. These numbers show that the rapid increase in prisoners is largely due to over-prosecution of nonviolent crimes. This has nothing to do with cleaning up the streets or making our society safer, this is about controlling society and turning human beings into a cash crop.

Hmmmmm.. the rapid increase in prisoners is largely due to over-prosecution of nonviolent crimes. Illegal drug use and sales may be nonviolent crime, but it drives theft/home invasion/burglary. Those crimes might illicit a violent response from me when people attack my home, my sanctuary in and from this over-taxing, crazy world to deprive me of property in order to finance their addictions. I consider those to be extreme violations. I also dont see the justification in the potus issuing pardons and commuting sentences after our law enforcement and justice systems have done their duty. Thats just a slap in the face to them AND we the people. This country was founded on laws. If you dont agree with them then change the law. Cant have the imates getting better reading material than the public schools. Employees of the criminal justice system justify their fat cat jobs by locking up innocent people. It gives the appearance of law and order, and America is nothing if not about appearance. What has transpired over the past 40 years is that people with power issues are attracted to the criminal justice system, from law enforcement officers to probation officers to prison guards to prosecutors. What America has is too many employees of the criminal justice system abusing and misusing their power for the sake of being powerful. The truly sad part of the system are those who serve on juries who have stopped using their minds at all. What we hear far too often is the excuse, well she/he must be guilty or the cops wouldnt have arrested her/him. More innocent people are in jail/prison due to the unreasonable refusal by US citizens to listen to evidence, examine facts and use their own brains. Law enforcement, corrections and probation are thankless, dangerous jobs. Do you propose protecting your mother, sister, niece yourself? If somebody wanted a position of power they would become a politician, and spend most of their time sitting on their aas doing nothing unless they were assuring the retention of their seat, giving themselves a pay increase, making sure their benefits and pension are top-notch-better-than-yours, adding to the complexity and over abundance of bureaucracy with new laws while disregarding existing laws, especially as they apply to themselves. Gday I disagree 100% with your assessment. Not once in 70 years have I ever been helped by a police officer. Not once. On the contrary, in my work inside the criminal justice system, I have witnessed countless police reports that contained intentional lies. I have never met an honest cop. I have personally seen horrendous police brutality and abuse. Clearly, youve never read any of the many 3rd party reports on the real story going on inside at prisons. Ive talked to all kinds of prison employees who are more afraid of other prison employees than the inmates. As for probation and parole employees, what a bunch of worthless, dishonest narcissists. The entire system encourages the despicable abuse and misuse of power. I have protected myself for my entire life, and have protected the lives of countless others. Cops are never where you need them anyway. As to your comments about politicians, fair enough, and you could have added all the hand outs from lobbyists. What? I cant even get a couple %? In my work inside the criminal justice system, I have worked with some real stand-up people. I have personally seen horrendous brutality and abuse from custodies/inmates. I have witnessed countless criminal types bear false witness against authorities, yet be honest enough to admit privately that they HAD to back up their bro. I guess they have a code to live by too. They wont rat on each other unless they can get official C.I. status, meaning theres something in it for them. Many of them are the center of the universe and have no respect for anyone you give them reasonable instruction and they flat out refuse, DEMANDING to speak to someone of higher rank. Witness todays drivers education: instruction must include appropriate behavior for interaction with the police. It seems to me that a little (un)common sense instilled in their upbringing would determine their response to authority. Granted, some in criminal justice careers have poor work ethic, are dishonest, on a power trip, lack proper aptitude or even have pathological tendencies, just like a percentage of the population. Its sometimes difficult to ascertain and weed them all out. Most in criminal justice are merely pursuing a career, fulfilling duties in a position that they might be better able than others to perform, hoping to be a contribution to a more peaceful society. And like everyone else, they would like to avoid injury or death so that they can return home to their family at the end of the day. These are trying times. Disrespect is rampant. Our leaders have permitted, if not provoked division every place possible. Tension is everywhere. Some citizens are indiscriminately persecuted, some police undeservedly targeted. Each and every one of us need to make the effort to come together, or at least get along, for the betterment and survival of our society. I dread the day if SHTF, and most of our peacekeepers stay home to protect their families. Anarchy! To those who insist the criminal justice systems are inherently corrupt, I say, apply for the job and turn it all around. So, I guess we agree to disagree, to a degree anyway. Peace Please understand that by pointing out my experience of the criminal justice system I am not in any way saying that there are not violent offenders who need to remain locked up. In fact, I know of many cases where innocent defendants have been intentionally placed in small prison cells with the most despicably violent and allowed to be beaten, molested and harmed for days, all to the sadistic enjoyment of law enforcement. I am also totally opposed to the paid informant system. Despicable injustice. Paying the most dishonest of criminals to say whatever law enforcement wants them to say. Our Society has rewarded criminals and made it possible for people to abuse and misuse official power. Sounds like an apology for a corrupt system, that one day will collapse on its own weight. War and prisons are the main stay of this land. This nation was founded on oppression, i always hear self styled fascist whine about law and order, but never justice, or just me or just us. Many laws are created to expand the prison population. Prison stock is traded openly on the stock exchange. Revenue based law enforcement, and the war on drugs are some of the chief culprits. This nation has exceeded the Soviet Gulags, in enslaving its people. 
1	Upon returning from their elimination from the Western Conference Finals Tuesday, the Phoenix Coyotes convinced themselves that the homeless drifters occupying the Greyhound bus station were adoring fans waiting to welcome them back. 'It eases the pain to see so many fans back here waiting for us, and it looks like most of them were even camping out for a while waiting for us,' team captain Shane Doan said, after shaking the outstretched open hand of a mumbling homeless man. 'From the sad looks and anguished faces, I can tell how much our loss truly pains these die-hards. Some of them kept saying, 'Please, help me.' All I could say was 'We'll get 'em next year!'' In related news, the conference champion Los Angeles Kings reportedly believed that the people who filled their arena during the series actually cared whether they won or lost. 
2	What Michael Browns Grandfather Just Said To Obama Has The Nation Shocked It seems that everyone is trying to find a unique way to tell the Michael Brown story, given the immense amount of press on the riots in Ferguson. Its no surprise, then, that Al Sharpton decided to schedule a segment with Michael Browns Grandfather, Lesley McSpadden. According to McSpadden, Obama needs to come see him. If I was to go out there and brutally murder someone and shot them six times, ask yourself, would I be incarcerated? McSpadden asked of views. The answer is yes. America is built on people coming together at times like this, and now is the time for my President to step forward. I want to say this to my President: I voted for you, so you ought to be able to meet with me.

3	Iranian Cameraman Defects Just in Time For US State Dept. to Frame Iran With NukesSusanne Posel, Contributor The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) then received the mass of photos and videos of secret nuclear and missile sites from Golkhanban. Amid them are elite interior shots of the Natanz nuclear complex, the Fordo underground enrichment plant, the Parchin military complex and the small Amir-Abad research reactor in Iran. In return, Golkhanban is now at an undisclosed CIA safe house under close guard. Golkhanban remained behind in New York as Ahmedinejads entourage left for Iran. He contacted the US State Department and subsequent CIA not long after to hand over the information. As if done with many suspicious defectors, the US government offers bribes, witness protection and cash for intelligence. The turn-tail of Golkhanban is evidence of this practice. Paul ODwyer, member of the Zionist-controlled media out of New York and attorney for the defector is claiming that Golkhanban was being threatened because of what he thought would happen when he went back. In preparation for WW III, Israel has deployed their US-made Patriot missile in lieu of a fake threat they claim has been made by the Iranian group Hezbollah. Experts in Israel are saying that the nuclear facility in Dimona, Israel is the suspected target of intelligence gathering missions conducted by Hezbollah with drones. The Israeli Air Force believes that Hezbollah, sub-headquartered in southern Lebanon, are working with the Shite Muslim Militia. Since it is supposed that these men are armed with sophisticated technological drones and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), Iran must be the supplier of the weaponry which would assume a strategic plot by Iran to terrorize Israel with these subversive groups. The actual reality is that Israel with the US are supporting terrorist factions like the Syrian National Council who have ties to the Bilderberg Group and facilitating the use of the Free Syrian Army; an al-Qaeda recruited group of men who are trained by the CIA in Turkey and sent over the border into Syria to fight the US/Israeli proxy war against Syrian President Assad. Last week, foreigners incited a riot in Iran over the failing worth of the Ra-il, the Iranian currency that has been severely affected by the US-imposed sanctions. Thanks to the Zionists at AIPAC, and HR 1905, Obama further tightened the economic abilities of Iran which was designed to cause an uprising within the country. In August, AIPAC demanded that the US Congress create a virtual state of war with Iran, even though Iran has no nuclear weapons program. The prior sanctions on Iran stemmed from the Iran Threat Reduction Act, which had tightened a financial noose around Irans ability to conduct business in their country. However, since then, countries that purchase Iranian oil (such as India, China and Russia) have traded in gold instead; leaving the US Petro-dollar to suffer and threaten the US dollars status as the global reserve currency. AIPAC proudly stated that they have the backing of the UN as well as the US to impose economic pressure on Iran. Ahmadinejad maintains that there is a psychological war being played in Iran by the US and Zionist-controlled Israel. He said sanctions hurt the people, not the government. As Patrick Clawson, deputy director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and Zionist Trotskyite explained recently, Obama has had a difficult time getting the US into a war with Iran. Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi publicly stated that the sanctions are not intimidating the leaders of his country. Salehi said: Its not a big deal. The sanctions create inconveniences. For over 30 years now, we have been living with boycott measures that ultimately make us independent and strong. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was travelling through Europe last week with a message of refocusing toward sanctioning Iran before pursuing military strike. Netanyahu retorted that he believes that Iran will not back down and by pursuing sanctions, This will give more time for diplomacy to convince Iran to dismantle its nuclear weapons program altogether. Irans collaboration with the BRICs nations, their use of gold as currency which has threatened the US dollar as the petro-dollar and global reserve currency has been at the backdrop of this pending war with Iran. The Zionist-controlled nations are gearing up to use military force in order to eradicate the BRICs threat as the new power force in the march toward One World Government. As has been eluded to by the Zionist-controlled Netanyahu and Obama, perhaps after the November elections, or the spring of 2013, we all shall see the manifestation of their globalist intentions.

1	In an effort to ensure all Americans receive a zesty kick, the Food and Drug Administration officially recommended Tuesday adding a little Tabasco to that bad boy. Based on years of research and dozens of clinical trials, our agency strongly advocates that citizens put a splash of Tabasco right on that sucker, said FDA acting commissioner Stephen Ostroff at an afternoon press conference, stressing that both adults and children sprinkle several hot and peppery drops right on that thing for some real serious zip. Its important that Americans closely follow these guidelines because this baby is practically begging for some heat. Our findings clearly indicate that it just needs a little something extra, and just a touch of that fiery Tabasco tang will take it to another level in the flavor department. Ostroff repeatedly emphasized that Americans need not worry about how much Tabasco they put on that mother, adding that a bold, spicy zing was just what the doctor ordered.

'We're confident that we'll have at least eight full seasons worth of material for this property,' said CNN President Jonathan Klein during the dedication of the new 11-story TWAW news headquarters in Kuwait City. 'And believe me, we're going to be going in some surprising new directions. A premise like this can go on for a generation.'

2	Hillary Caught Doing This On Labor Day Morning... She Didnt Know The Cameras Were On Over the past few weeks, Hillary Clinton has been desperately fighting rumors that she is suffering from major health problems. She claims to be in perfect health, but what happened yesterday tells a very different story Clinton was set to participate in the Cleveland Labor Day Parade on Monday, but it was reported that she will not walk on it. Apparently, the last parade was too much for her to bear. She only walked four blocks. Both Clinton and her running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine, were scheduled to speak at the 11th Congressional District Community Caucus Labor Day Parade and Festival, which began late Monday morning. The parade was led by U.S. Rep. Marcia Fudge, who represents Warrensville Heights. Clintons refusal to walk is extraordinarily suspicious in light of recent health rumors. Its clear the 68-year-old presidential nominee is still trying to hide something from American voters What do you think? Are you tired of Clintons lies from the American public? 
3	Productive Property vs. the Lawn PoliceKaren De Coster, Contributor Individuals who defy the crazed American Lawn Worship Culture and instead plant useful, organic gardens are the new outlaws.Heres a case from earlier this year, in a suburb near where I live, where a woman was treated like a criminal for growing contraband in her front yard: tomatoes, zucchinis, and peppers. Heres how the lawn became a garden: Bass got the idea to plant a garden in front yard after it was torn up over a busted sewage pipe. There were piles of dirt outside and we knew we had to do something, Bass said. We looked into putting in sod but it was shockingly expensive, so we starting looking into other books to do something a little more cost effective. We found pictures in a bunch of different library books of garden beds. It was perfect and we had a blank canvas. City ordinances usually require plantings in the front yard to be suitable plant material. Suitable according to a strange culture that worships chintzy, worthless lawns in place of innovative productive land use. A neighbor on my street has a front yard that looks like a trash can flew over the house and emptied on the lawn the whole square is littered with stupid plastic trinkets, dumb decorations, plexiglass, broken fencing, and unmaintained plantings. It looks like a trailer park dumping ground, and yet, it is all perfectly legal and city approved. The cars up on blocks are okay, as well as the front yard-turned-patio-bricks for the purposes of parking the family rust bucket on wheels.Yet a garden in my front yard and Id love to have one would bring me citations and the threat of handcuffs. That, says Emily Broad Lieb, director of the Harvard Food Law and Policy Clinic, is a problem caused in part by age-old zoning rules bumping into peoples desire to grow their own food. Its such a human thing, she says. Its not like theyre building a space shuttle on their front lawn. She sees the Newton case as a microcosm of a problem that is popping up more and more, from battles over rooftop and urban gardens to bureaucracy surrounding farmers markets. Modern laws often jettison agriculture and food production to backyards and far-flung rural areas, she says. But with individuals and communities now interested in taking back some or all of their food production, people are starting to realize that we have to change the rules. This is not a uniquely American stupidity Canada is also turning gardeners into lawbreakers. This beautiful garden in Quebec was also targeted by local totalitarians.

1	Dynamic, sleek, and even sexy is how a panel of typographic and marketing experts described the 15 new replacement letters they unveiled Monday in an effort to reinvigorate interest in the faltering English alphabet. 'Forget everything you thought you knew about reading and writing,' announced David Greenberg, 34, lead designer of the exciting ABC makeover. 'These new letters are hip, fresh, and sure to forever change the way English speakers everywhere form their words.' 'Move over 'M' and 'P,'' Greenberg continued. 'Because this ain't your grandfather's alphabet.' According to Greenberg, the exciting new set of consonants and vowels will be rolled out over the next few months, and should find its way into most newspapers, magazines, and popular works of fiction by early spring. Among the updated letter designs that have thus far been released to the public are the , which designers described as an edgy reimagining of the old, humdrum 'T,' as well as the innovative new , which will replace the 'U' effective immediately. In addition to giving the alphabet a 'much-needed face-lift,' Greenberg and his team said they'd be drastically changing the order of most letters in an effort to better reflect modern tastes. 'There's a reason Americans would rather sit down in front of their television sets than pick up a book or commit their innermost thoughts to paper,' said Maartin Ulriksen, who cited architect Frank Gehry and early '80s New Wave music as some of his biggest influences in redesigning the alphabet. 'I would, too, if I had to stare at the same boring 'C' all day long, or, God forbid, was forced to come across that flat and predictable 'H' every time I opened up a copy of Us Weekly.' The result of nearly a year of focus-group testing, the new letters are reportedly more than just an aesthetic update. Studies found that more than 87 percent of Americans rarely ever use the letter 'X' in their daily lives, a discovery that led to a complete reworking of the neglected consonant that has transformed it from unpopular alphabet pariah to something 'people will be dying to write down.' By contrast, the vowel 'E' was found to be by far the most used letter in the alphabet, giving designers the idea to cash in on its popularity by adding a third horizontal line to the less desirable 'F.' Though black has long been the dominant color of choice for alphabet letters and fonts, designers said they were also experimenting with a number of different hues of indigo. 'There's something in here for everyone: crowd-pleasers, tried and true classics, hidden gems,' said marketing guru Jack Gonson, who will work with top advertisers, web masters, highway departments, and other major purveyors of alphabetic content to popularize the new letters. 'Functionality can always be fixed later. This is about style, about energy, about sizzlesomething the alphabet hasn't had in centuries.' A number of school districts across the country have already embraced the redesigned alphabet, as new curricula are developed for students to learn their ABs, and teachers are showing confused first-graders how to spell their new names. A series of PSAs for alphabet users of all ages is also scheduled to air this month, with such titles as 'Coming Soon To A Paperback Near You' and 'The New Alphabet: It Puts The In Fn!' So far, reaction to the new replacement has been positive. 'I've never reay pai much aenin wrd anff like ha, ell yhe rh,' 10h-graer Parick Reynoai. 'Bhi i fn. I barey even feel like I'm wriing.' 
2	Obama Giving 1.5 Billion Dollars To Muslim Brotherhood For Absurd Reason According to reports, the Obama administration told Congress that it intends to release up to $1.5 billion in aid to Egypt, despite ongoing concerns that the country has been failing to meet commitments it made to support democratic governance. According to reports, the administration has deemed that it is in national interest to allow $1.3 billion in military assistance to flow. According to officials, the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty frees up an additional $200 million in economic aid. Reports also indicate that he White House will grant a waiver because they are unable to certify that Egypt is in full compliance with the democracy requirements of laws. Officials have come forward to express their disappointment in the situation. By waving conditions we send a contradictory message, said Sen. Patrick Leahy. The Egyptian military should be defending fundamental freedoms and rule of law, not harassing and arresting those who are working for democracy. Leahy went on to urge the administration to consider releasing the money in stages and make payments based on improved conditions. What do you think? Does the administration need to stop involving itself where it doesnt belong and spending our tax dollars to support their agenda? 
2	Navy Turns On Obama, Takes This Massive Stand Against Him According to recent reports, the U.S. Navy approved a re-design of their uniforms, allowing sailors to wear Dont Tread on Me flag patches on some uniforms. Not long ago, Barack Obamas Equal Employment Opportunity Commission rocked the boat when it suggested that the Gadsden Flag, a yellow banner with a coiled snake about to strike and the words Dont Tread on Me, might be racist. Despite that decision, as of October, any sailor who is wearing the NWU Type III uniform can wear the patch during garrison and non-tactical exercises or operations. During tactical deployment exercises and operations, a tactical DTOM and Reverse Flag patch may be worn at the discretion of the unit commander and approval from the Task Force or Joint Task Force Commander, the Navy announced in a Navy Administrations Message. This decision by the Navy puts to rest a controversy prompted by a Republican congressional candidate who two years ago said SEALs had been barred from wearing the symbol because of the political connection to the Tea Party. What do you think of the Navys decision?

2	Andrea Tantaros Issued THIS Statement, Muslims Want Her Fired [VIDEO] In August, Fox News star Andrea Tantaros made headlines after making a statement about what she believed to be the only effective way to deal with radical Islamic terrorists. You cant solve it with a dialogue, she told her viewers. You cant solve it with a summit. You solve it with a bullet to the head. Its the only thing these people understand. The message caused outrage in the Muslim community, who demanded an apology from Fox News and the reporter. Some even called for Tantaros to be fired from the station. Tantaros refused to back down in the face of threats, sending out a Tweet that read: I will not apologize for speaking the truth about radical Islamic jihadism. Period. She continued on to tell her followers that they could either stand with her, or with Islamic terrorists. Now, retired Army Lt. Col. Allen West has launched a movement in support of the reporter. West agreed with her comments and believed that the best way to invite America to stand behind her was with a history lesson. West explained how when the Barbary Pirates of North Africa, radical Islamists based out of Libya, were raiding, pillaging, kidnapping and murdering the crews of US and Western merchant ships in the late 1700s, the United states understood that the only way to survive and defeat the radical Islamic terrorists was to meet force with force, and violence with violence. What do you think of Tantaros views? Do you support her? 
1	In an effort to help his students develop inaccurate perceptions of their talents, University of Virginia creative writing professor Alan Erickson told reporters Monday that he takes the time to provide each and every one of them with personalized false hope. Every student is different, and even though there may be 30 of them per class, I feel its important that I make enough time to sit down with them individually to let them know they have a unique voice worth pursuing, said Erickson, explaining that he frequently extends his office hours and often stays after class to meet with students one-on-one to ensure they hear individualized, unfounded optimism about their writing and their prospects within the publishing industry. It certainly adds a bit to my workload, but providing specific feedback and encouragement really has a huge impact on their confidence. Going that extra mile for your students is what inspires them to follow their dreams. The professor added that his efforts have yielded some notable results, asserting that a number of his most deluded former students have gone on to humiliating, short-lived attempts at writing careers. 
1	TURIN, ITALYDespite being at the forefront of an illegal hockey-gambling-ring controversy, former hockey great and head coach of Canada's Olympic hockey team Wayne Gretzky once again reaffirmed his claim that he has never placed a bet on a professional baseball game. 'I can say with great certainty that I never bet on the Cincinnati Reds, and that I never bet on baseball, nor do I intend to, nor would I even know where to begin if I were to do so,' said Gretzky, who will now likely never gain admission to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. 'I would never risk everything to compromise the integrity of a popular, strictly regulated American sport such as baseball. Players and fans know this. Commissioner Selig knows this. Virtually everyone knows this.' Gretzky, who has an implicit lifetime ban on playing or coaching in the major leagues, recently came out in support of Pete Rose, saying he doesn't think Rose ever bet on hockey. 
1	Following his speech to the United Nations General Assembly this week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Friday that he is pretty satisfied with his trip to the U.S. to instigate World War III. All in all, I think I accomplished my goal of pushing humanity toward the brink of complete and utter annihilation, said Netanyahu, adding that his implicit calls for international military action against Iran, which would ultimately escalate the conflict to an Armageddon-level of death and destruction, went fairly well. I think I did a good job laying the groundwork for a nuclear holocaust that will kill billions of people and eventually end the world as we know it. Sounded like everyone really liked it, too. When reached for comment, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told reporters that he was equally happy with his own efforts to nudge the world slightly closer to a full-blown apocalypse. 
2	Rubio Could Be Disqualified From The Race After Getting Caught For Voter Fraud Super Tuesday sparked controversy in Travis County, Texas yesterday after a series of computer glitches led voters to believe that Donald Trumps campaign was intentionally being sabotaged. According to reports, voters in Travis and Williamson County claimed that when they voted for Donald Trump, the system showed they voted for Marco Rubio in the end. Several of these people called into The Todd Don Show, claiming that they had a similar problemwhich was corrected only after they got the help from an election worker. Officials have responded by claiming that you should always check your ballot before you leave. The Travis County clerks office also took to social media to warn voters that the website was loading slowly due to high traffic, but some voters reported that the site did not load for them at all. What do you think? Is there something fishy going on here?

2	Kurt Russell Dominates The View On Subject Of Gun Control Over the past few months, actor Kurt Russell has proven to be one of the few pro-Second Amendment voices in Hollywood. Recently, Russell appeared on ABCs The View to discuss his political beliefs regarding our rights. He began by reminding the American public that the measure was established by the Founding Fathers in order to protect people. In reality, when were dealing with things like, terrorism, whatnot, were all going to have different opinions on how to do it, Russell began. Mine happens to be that, I think theres a very strong reason the Founding Fathers had for the Second Amendment. I think people more object to the excesses of the Second Amendment, Joy Behar, co-host of the show, retorted. Not the Second Amendment. Its the boom, boom, boom, boom guns. Thats where the debate comes in, Russell acknowledged. I think its too bad the debate cant remain civil, too. Its hard to do. Russell then went on to discuss the need for a collaborative decision about what is right for our countryboth as it pertains to our gun rights and also to recent threats of terrorism. Whatever we do, were a little late for the people who have died, Russell argued. And if you know somebody or you know a child that was maimed in that situation, I got a strong feeling that ones opinion has a tendency to change then. Watch the full segment below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Russell? 
1	Delegations of snotty teenage girls descended upon the Norwegian capital from all over the world this past weekend, gathering for a historic five-day summit. The Inter-national Conference of Pretty and Popular Girls, which features representatives from 112 nations, will address the critical issues facing snotty girls across the globe, including boys, dressing cool and the mall. According to U.S. delegate Jenny Reiner, a 15-year-old from Miami, the primary goal of the ICPPGs is the elimination of all lameness by the year 2000. The current levels are way too high, said Reiner, who also heads the conferences Sub-Committee on Make-up, Hair Spray and Scrunchies. All across the world, theres just so much of itgym class, reading, outfits that dont matchIm concerned. Reiner herself was recently affected by lameness when her parents took her and her two siblings on a family vacation. We went to Disneyworld and went on all these rides and stayed at this hotel together, Reiner said. It was so gay. Reiner still has not told her friends about the trip. Another major issue the summit hopes to address is uncool girls who think theyre youre friend but really arent. This girl Xiao Bu always follows me around school and calls me up on weekends to do stuff, Chinese delegate Hsiao Chang, 14, said. And shes a total loser. Nobody wants to be friends with her, but she always hangs around meits totally embarrassing. According to recent statistics, across the globe, over 465 million ugly, uncool girls follow cool girls around, a 35% rise since 1980. While the worlds delegations have generally gotten along well, the conference has not been without its share of strife. Yesterday afternoon, during a multinational outing to an Oslo mall, Dutch representative Kari Olgstaad told the Ivory Coasts Ngomii Mgunda that several of the Russian girls looked fat. She also told Mgunda she totally hates Libyan delegate Baszula Khalim. Minutes later, Mgunda told Khalim what Olgstaad said about her, even though she swore not to say anything. Mgunda also told Perus Juana Santos, who told Olgstaad that Mgunda said something, even though she promised to keep it a secret. I guess I shouldnt have trusted her, Olgstaad said. She added that Mgundas native Bantu language is really stupid and that her home continent of Africa is totally poor. When notified of the multi-national squabbling, conference leader Kerri Hayes of Canada stepped in and issued the following statement: Guys, stop fighting! Youre ruining the summit! Seventeen editor Debi Fox, one of thousands covering the world conference, praised the delegates. These are teens of the 90s, she said. Theyre smart, sassy and on-the-go! Fox says Seventeen will provide full coverage of the summit in its January issue, including a colorful, 14-page photo spread titled Fresh Faces, featuring a multi-racial collection of thin, clear-skinned teens wearing the latest fashions in playful settings. 
2	What This Soldier Does In His Picture With Hillary Will Have You In Shock This photo has been around for years, and with a lot of controversy. Now, it seems that the story behind it has turned out to be true. When you look at the picture, you might ask yourself what the soldier shaking hands with Secretary Hillary Clinton is doing with his off hand. It appears that he is crossing his fingers. Any soldier knows that this hand signal is the POW sign for coercion, meaning I am only doing this because Im being forced. The Gateway Pundit explained: In fact, the soldier went onto explain the truth behind the image: So, as Hillarys military credibility is questionable, whether she is dodging imaginary sniper fire or shaking hands with unwilling soldiers, we know that at least one soldier isnt too keen on the Senator and Presidential candidate. 
2	Did you see what Michelle did right after Trump finished with his speech... Michelle Obama scowled her way through our new presidents first address as commander and chief. You think she could show a little more respect after the dog and pony show her husband put on right? Well I guess not. Obama was as good an example as I think youll find of a something smiling through a scowl but at least wasnt quite SO transparent! Trump continued, The people did not share in its wealth.Politicians prospered but the jobs left and the factories closed. The establishment protected itself but not the citizens. Their victories have not been your victories. Their triumphs has not been your triumphs. And while they celebrated in the capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land. That all changes right here right now, he concluded. This moment is your moment. It belongs to you. 
3	Brazil to Probe US Spying: Calls for Protection of Greenwald and MirandaPaul Lawrance Lawmakers are calling for the federal protection of Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald and his partner David Miranda for the important role they are to play in the investigation. On Sunday, Greenwald put forth the concerning allegations on the Brazilian news program Fantstico, where he displayed documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden that showed a chart mapping Dilma Rousseffs communications patterns. One of the documents also exposed passages of written messages sent by Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto, who was still a candidate at the time. The allegations may be a retaliatory response to the unlawful detainment of Brazilian national David Miranda, who was interrogated for nine hours under UK terrorism law at Londons Heathrow airport on August 18. Brazil had openly called the detainment unjustified and was described by Greenwald as anintimidation tactic aimed at journalists. The investigative period can be extended 180 days if the commission needs more time, reports Yahoo News. Senator Vanessa Graziotin, of the Communist Party of Brazil, said the intention of the probe was to protect Brazils sovereignty. Thursday, a Brazilian spokeswoman said Rousseffs October 23 visit to Washingtonwas cancelled. Though the spokeswoman did not explain why the trip was cancelled, it can obviously be explained by the reaction of the Brazilian Senate. The visit was intended to highlight the healthy economic relationship between the US and Brazil and was the only invitation extended by Obama this year.

1	Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who survived life-threatening injuries as a result of a motorcycle accident during the pre-season and endured an emergency appendectomy in early October, was relieved Sunday to suffer a serious traumatic injury during the course of a football game. 'I think things are definitely starting to get back to norb... to nurm... to normal,' said a barely conscious Roethlisberger, who suffered a concussion as a result of a helmet-to-helmet collision during the third quarter of Pittsburgh's game against the Atlanta Falcons. 'It was nice to be on the sidelines, in pain, and in full uniform all at the same time, for once.' Roethlisberger added that his experiences off the football field have taught him a valuable lesson, and had he not been wearing a regulation helmet during Sunday's game, he could be dead right now. 
1	During a press conference outside their Swiss headquarters Thursday, World Wildlife Fund officials backpedaled from a controversial press statement released by the organization last week, claiming that while panda ears are in fact 'absolutely delicious,' the environmental protection group shouldn't have said so. Various spokespersons for the WWF, widely acclaimed for its 50 years of international conservation work, told reporters the organization deeply regretted the statementalong with the subsequent tweet, Facebook post, and e-mail to supportersin which they wrote, 'The ears of an endangered giant panda taste phenomenal.' A new message was reportedly sent Thursday urging donors and subscribers to 'ignore that last e-mail about how good panda ears taste, even though they are good and we're eating them right now, and we wish we wouldn't have written that or sent this without deleting that last part.' 'We are truly sorry for publicly saying that panda ears are delicious and that they are a healthy, tasty snack,' said WWF board chairman Paul Kinnaird, also apologizing for the extensive list of panda-ear recipes that were posted on the organization's website before being deleted, reposted with an apology, deleted, reposted, and then deleted again. 'The fact of the matter is, panda ears are not delicious. Well, they are delicious, but we should really stop saying that.' 'Whoops,' Kinnaird added after a brief pause. 'Obviously, this isn't quite how this was supposed to go.' The nearly three-hour-long press conference included numerous officials attempting to clarify one another's statements and make known the organization's belief that no one should ever eat any part of a panda 'even if their ears do taste amazing braised, fried, steamed, or seared, and even if we did eat some last night for dinner and then put some leftover panda ears in an omelet for breakfast this morning.' According to sources, WWF officials then apologized for saying that too. 'What we're trying to say is that no one should eat any part of any endangered species, even if it is just an animal, because, ultimately, who really cares about animals, anyway?' said associate director of public relations Jessica Musgrove, who quickly added that she does care about animals, just not the ones that taste great, after which she reportedly mumbled 'damn it' under her breath. 'Cheetah shins are also delicious. Of course, this is also something I shouldn't have said in my official capacity, so please just forget I said anything about cheetah shins. But as long as we're on the topic, my God, cheetah shins paired with giraffe neck in a balsamic reduction? You absolutely have to try it.' 'Don't do what I just said to do, though,' Musgrove added. 'We really do care about the environment.' Asked by reporters what measures the group planned on taking to rectify its recent missteps, vice president Charles Mackey said the organization's employees would stop munching on the fried panda ears that are constantly refilled in a jar marked 'Fried Panda Ears: Take as many as you'd like' in the WWF office kitchen. In addition, he said the organization would immediately stop illegally funneling the substantial charitable donations its receives to hunting groups, animal testing labs, and underground dogfighting rings. Mackey then wrote, ripped up, taped together, and presented a $300,000 check to the head of an illegal dogfighting ring, all while apologizing for doing so. 'We are committed to our mission of protecting animals and ending all threats to endangered species,' Mackey said. 'With that being said, we do go hunting from time to time as a group, but that's on our private time and probably something I shouldn't have said out loud. Also, it's more like poaching, really, since we only hunt for ivory and I shouldn't have said that in a press conference either. I also shouldn't say that we once pushed a seal out of a moving car but here goes: We did push some seals out of moving cars and it was enjoyable every time. You just wouldn't believe the sounds that come out of their little mouths when they hit the pavement and, my God, the way they roll! Fantastic. I didn't need to inform you of that last detail or any of that at all, actually, but I suppose it's too late now. Anyway, I still don't think I enjoyed that as much as pulling all the teeth out of an iguana's mouth, which is something I'm not going to describe further. That would definitely be a mistake. We could probably expand a little more on the World Wildlife Fund's affinity for chopping off lion heads with guillotines, but on second thought I'm not going to talk about how great and fun that is. Yeah, I'd say this organization has taken part in a fair share of animal abuse and, again, all of it was completely wrong and something we intend to stop immediately. We love nature and all animals even though our research team once injected a penguin with HIV and reintroduced him to a wild population, but to be fair, we only did that because it was funny. Obviously, it was in no way funny, but I did laugh a lot. I didn't want to laugh but I did laugh and that was another one of those things I shouldn't have told you guys. So, just to reiterate, we are truly committed to protecting each and every one of nature's fine creatures.' Added Mackey, 'We gave a penguin AIDS.'

2	Michelle Obama Gets Publicly Humiliated On A National Level Michelle Obamas pride is probably still recovering from a few weeks ago, when it was revealed that a record number of schools have dropped out of school lunches after her program was implemented. Now, shes receiving even more criticism for her schools lunches in the 2015-2016 school year. Not surprisingly, the meals already look absolutely disgusting. Students have been tweeting their disgust using the #ThanksMichelleObama hashtag. Now, the hashtag is being used from hundreds of thousands American children throughout the country. Heres a sample of what some of them are saying: #thanksmichelleobama I dont think this would be enough for a kindergartener @ryan_countryboy tweeted. So when I opened my chicken sandwich at lunch, there was no bread. Got to love School lunch. #Thanksmichelleobama @Zplants added. What do you think? Do the Obamas need to be booted out of the White House immediately?

1	Residents marked the 50th anniversary of the Concordia water tower Tuesday, honoring a structure that for generations has been the community's most comprehensive source of information on who is a slut. Historians say information on whether or not Whitney Olsen got the whole baseball team off would otherwise have been lost to time. According to University of Missouri historian Elliot Torcello, the remarkably well- preserved tower is recognized throughout the region as an indispensable archive detailing which women in the area are promiscuous, as well as whether or not they have crabs. 'Since June 22, 1960, when the words 'Jill Hooper is a slut' first appeared on one of its support girders, the tower has been a place for citizens to go and find out who is really easy, or perhaps to contribute their own statement about who is giving it up all over town,' Torcello said. 'This unique public forum has immortalized the names of all those who demonstrated in one way or another that they were a slut, a whore, orafter 1984a skank.' 'One need only gaze upon the dozens of testimonials from the early 1970s on the size of Kelly Compitello's bush to realize what a truly remarkable record it is,' Torcello added. The water tower, which services all of Lafayette County Public Utility District No. 3, is believed to offer the most extensive registry of Concordia's sluts, though local experts note that similar data can also be found on the big rock out by the train tracks and in the alleyway behind Champ's Sports Bar. While the 160-foot-tall structure catalogs a variety of informationincluding a definitive index of who is a fag or a queer and who has a limp dickTorcello contends that it is the half-century-old compendium of Concordia's sluts and what they are willing to do with Principal Delahunt that offers the richest portrait of the town's history. 'Take, for example, a 1964 message near the reservoir ladder, where in large red letters we can read that Cindy Davis takes it in the ass all night long,' Torcello said. 'Now, walk around to the south leg and you'll see words spray-painted some 23 years later that indicate her daughter, Becky Davis, takes it in the ass like a pro. That kind of insight into familial legacy is simply unprecedented.' Continued Torcello, 'Who knows what future generations may one day learn about Becky's own daughter, Tammy, and whether she, too, likes it in the ass?' Previous scholars have noted the hierarchy represented on the water tower: The biggest sluts occupy the highest reaches of the edifice, their status announced in the largest, most brightly colored letters. Magnificently crowning the reservoir is a 3-foot-high neon-green message, dating from 1992 and easily visible from the highway, that heralds Tina Richmond's loose pussy. Though the veracity of the data appearing on structure has occasionally been called into question, officials maintained that the information is regularly updated to reflect the latest reports of who sucks dick, and who sucks even more dick. 'It's a community bulletin board open to anyone,' said Rachel Sorenson, president of the Concordia Historical Society. 'Granted, there are a few outdated phone numbers on there, but when there's a mistake, someone will invariably cross out the wrong name and replace it with the right one.' 'In fact, the only completely inaccurate information I'm aware of is a message dating back to 1978 stating that 'Rachel Sorenson sucks cock behind the DQ,'' Sorenson added. Still, a number of Concordians resent the water tower's renown as a slut-identification tool, arguing that the public utility serves other, more important purposes than criticizing Jillian Knoll's titties. 'They'll go on and on about who gave hand jobs to the entire state championship wrestling team in 1987, but they're frightfully ignorant of its more subtle insights,' local resident Arthur Turner said. 'Did you know that for 42 years, this tower has provided amazingly consistent affirmations of Zeppelin's ruling status? And it also features the region's finest collection of crudely drawn phalluses, both erect and flaccidbut no one is even aware of these things.' Added Turner: 'The underpass on Walker Street is right. This town is retarded.' 
2	Soldier Stands Up To Obama In The Middle Of The Ceremony Throughout his presidency, Barack Obama has shown very little respect or regard for the United States military. As our Commander in Chief, he has made some remarkable despicable moves against veterans. Its not surprise that millions of servicemen and women are counting down the days until Donald Trump takes over. Thankfully, military spokeswoman Col. Amanda Azubuike confirmed that the soldier received immediate medical attention and is doing just fine now. 
2	Russian Video Mocks Obama Brutally [VIDEO] Well, Obama has officially lost respect worldwide. Russia made that very clear this week when they projected a video of our president depicted as a murderous devil on buildings in Moscow. The Blaze reports that the video is complete with a message arguing that Obama needs to be tried in international court. The video was later released on the YouTube channel 60sec. The video shows many different projections and a clock counting down from 60 seconds. Over that time, Obamas face morphs from being normal to the head of a devil. The animation also shows him eating the flags of many several countries. The video concludes with a statistic claiming that Obamas death toll is now at 561,832. The Russian News Service who first reported about the video, were quick to offer the following explanation for its existence: Coup in Iraq, Syria, Ukraine and other countries have often led to civil war, the killing of civilians and other war crimes. According to many experts, they were organized by direct or indirect participation of American political consultants and financial aid Western NGOs, as well as directly on the orders of the US president.

1	Following the death of Caleb Moore January 31 at the Winter X Games, officials announced Monday they are reconsidering events that involve hurtling competitors 40 feet in the air atop 500-pound machines. Weve always insisted on the highest safety standards of events requiring participants to propel a quarter-ton all-terrain machine into the air, flipping and spinning around at 50 miles per hour, said Scott Guglielmino, ESPNs senior VP of programming and global X events, adding that all the potential risks of the freestyle snowmobiling event that killed Moore were sufficiently considered before condoning it as a sane thing to encourage people to attempt on national television. The fact is, we cant stop these athletes from pushing new boundaries within these sports. Thats their choice. We just put it on television during primetime and promote it. Early reports indicate that freestyle snowmobiling may be removed from future Winter X Games, with the leading candidate to replace it being an event that challenges athletes to drive a gasoline-soaked tractor through a flaming loop-the-loop. 
1	In an effort to make a dent in the arms manufacturers excess inventory, members of the Lockheed Martin sales team were reportedly instructed during their staff meeting earlier this week to really push the companys supply of tactical air-to-surface missiles. Hey, guys, I really need you to step up your game this weekI know we were throwing our weight behind shoulder-fired anti-tank systems last month, but weve got a quota to meet and need all these JASSM missiles to move before the end of Q3, said sales director Peter Donaldson, adding that staff members should make an effort to upsell the infrared homing missile when filling aircraft-integrated guided weaponry orders for their regular clients. Do whatever it takes to unload this stuff: place a few cold calls to foreign defense agencies, offer to throw in a couple Stalker drones for free. I dont care what you have to do, just so long as we can hit our numbers and make way for the anti-aircraft shipments weve got coming in at the end of the month. Members of Donaldsons team said they werent particularly worried about the directive, noting that they can always reach out to their congressional contacts and move however many missiles they need to via a last-minute rider on any pending bill. 
1	At a special press conference on the White House lawn Monday, President Clinton unveiled 'The Colonel,' a six-pound prize hopping-toad believed by many to be capable of outjumping every other hopping-toad and frog in the U.S. President Clinton proudly announces his acquisition of 'The Colonel' to members of the White House press corps. According to Clinton, the new presidential hop-toad, the Executive Branch's 'largest and finest competitive hopping frog since the Jackson Administration,' will make him the undisputed hoptoad-jumping champion of the District of Columbia, if not the world. 'My fellow Americans, I am proud to present to you such a top-notch hop-toad,' Clinton told reporters. 'The Colonel is a symbol of my commitment to owning the jumpingest bullfrog in the free world.' While Clinton's mood was largely jubilant during the press conference, he did briefly turn serious, issuing a stern warning to those considering committing acts of terrorism against the hop-toad. 'To those contemplating making The Colonel drowsy by fattening him up with Junebugs, feeding him double-ought buckshot, or switching him with a similar-looking toad when I am not looking,' Clinton said, 'I say, you will be caught, and you will be punished to the fullest extent of the law.' Clinton acquired the frog last Thursday after instructing Army and National Guard personnel to seek out an enormous, long-legged bullfrog or swamp toad suitable for use in jumping competitions. After several days of searching, a detachment of the Fifth Army Corps of Engineers followed a trail of lily pads to The Colonel's lair deep in a bog on the outskirts of Cairo, IL. Clinton, who was notified immediately, cut short a meeting with British prime minister Tony Blair to personally inspect the hop-toad. 'The moment I saw The Colonel, it was clear that this was the prize hop-toad I had long been searching for,' Clinton said. 'His legs were unusually long and muscular, and his appetite for blue-tail flies was unmatched. I was extremely confident that he would be able to outjump any frog that might oppose him.' The president addressed a special joint session of Congress Tuesday to rally support for a proposed $4, state-of-the-art shoebox for The Colonel. The taxpayer-funded box, Clinton said, would be constructed of cardboard and feature a removable top and approximately six breathing holes in its side. He noted that the box would serve a dual role, functioning as both as a home for The Colonel while at the White House and as a carrying case during presidential trips abroad. Clinton and The Colonel. 'I believe that such a box is critically important,' Clinton said in his 40-minute address to the legislators. 'Without it, there will always be the danger that The Colonel will escape. We cannot, and must not, let this happen.' Until Clinton can secure congressional box-funding for The Colonel, he said he will keep him in a locked Oval Office desk drawer. Legislators' reaction to Clinton's call for federal hop-toad funding was mixed. 'If The Colonel is indeed capable of jumping 15 yards when its 'dander is up,' as Mr. Clinton claims,' said Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA), 'then I believe this would indeed be a worthwhile allocation of federal funds.' 'It is positively preposterous that we are considering spending taxpayers' hard-earned money on this presidential hop-frog,' said Sen. Jesse Helms (R-NC). 'My hop-toad Beauregard is the three-time jumping-frog champion of Currituck County, North Carolina, and it rose to such heights without the benefit of any public funding whatsoever.' Helms then challenged Clinton to put The Colonel up against Beauregard in a best-of-three hopping contest on the banks of the Potomac River. Clinton readily accepted Helms' challenge. 'I intend to prove that my hopping-toad is the finest, fair and square,' Clinton said. 'Now, if you will excuse me, I am off to purchase a new white suit and slouch hat for the occasion.' 
2	On The Anniversary Of His Death, Pat Tillman Is Honored In The Most Amazing Way Twelve years ago today, America lost a true American hero. But people havent forgotten about the heroic man who was Pat Tillman. Tillman was a star in the NFL for four years, from 1998 to 2002. He was named to the All-Pro team in 2000, and the safety was a lock to be a perennial Pro-bowl selection. Then, September 11, 2001 came, and he immediately dropped his NFL career to do what he felt was his duty as an American: he enlisted in the US army. By doing so, he was giving up a $3.6 million contract extension with the Arizona Cardinals. But it was more important to Tillman that he fight for his country. Brother Kevin Tillman, a pro-ball player for the Cleveland Indians, joined his brother in enlisting. After completing basic training, they endured further training to become army rangers. Then, they were deployed to Afghanistan. On April 22, 2004, they were ambushed and became involved in a running gun battle. Unfortunately, Tillman was killed in the crossfire by a fellow American soldier. On the anniversary of his death, the Arizona Cardinals retired his number permanently, meaning Pat Tillmans number has become sacred, and no other player can wear it. Today, we honor a true American hero. He gave up his one dream of playing in the NFL to do something he thought to be more important. This is the essence of a great American, and we would like to honor him for it. Thank you, Pat Tillman. 
2	BREAKING: Former Bill Clinton Intern Drops BOMBSHELL About Hillary When Natalie Plain interned for President Bill Clinton, she shared a cubicle with Monica Lewinsky. Now, she is breaking her long-term silence to reveal the truth about Hillary Clintons character. In a recent interview with IJ Review, Plain commented that Bill was friendly and outgoing when she saw him in the White House. Hillary, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. In fact, Plain describe her as someone who was not a people person. Even when her husband was in office, she seemed to envy his popularity and power, Plain recalled. In her mind, she was the brains behind the operation and the more capable leader , though her husband received the accolades because he was a man and the President. Plain went on to describe her relationship with Lewinsky, claiming that she had no idea that her cubicle-mate was having an affair with the president. To this day, she wonders if she would have ingratiated herself with Clinton if he had propositioned her instead of Lewinsky. What do you think of Plains comments? Is it clear that the Clintons and their drama need to be kept far away from the White House?

3	Government Awards Ammunition But Hides How Much It Spent And The Quantity RequestedJames Smith, Contributor However, in May of this year, the same Agency, the same branch, ordered 53,000 9 MM 124 Grain +P Bonded Jacketed Hollow Point and 53,000 rounds of .223 Caliber Tactical Patrol Rifle Premium 64 Grain Hi-Shok Pointed Soft Point. 32,000 were to be delivered to Springfield, VA, and the remainder going to Arnold, MO. For a total of 106,000 rounds. Democracy requires accountability, and accountability requires transparency. President Obama January 2009 Because the first request was filled in May, also won by the A2Z Supply Corporation, it raises the question, what happened to the 106,000 rounds of ammunition. All used in four months? Hardly. This could be described as hording, or stockpiling. This is a video of a recent article that we covered. The legality of the most recent solicitation void of any pertinent facts of how US tax dollars are being spent, is in direct violation of the Presidents Open Government Initiative. From the whitehouse.gov website: December 8, 2009 M10-06 MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES FROM: Peter R. Orszag, Director SUBJECT: Open Government Directive In the Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government, issued on January 21, 2009, the President instructed the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to issue an Open Government Directive. Responding to that instruction, this memorandum is intended to direct executive departments and agencies to take specific actions to implement the principles of transparency, participation, and collaboration set forth in the Presidents Memorandum. This Directive was informed by recommendations from the Federal Chief Technology Officer, who solicited public comment through the White House Open Government Initiative. The three principles of transparency, participation, and collaboration form the cornerstone of an open government. Transparency promotes accountability by providing the public with information about what the Government is doing. Participation allows members of the public to contribute ideas and expertise so that their government can make policies with the benefit of information that is widely dispersed in society. Collaboration improves the effectiveness of Government by encouraging partnerships and cooperation within the Federal Government, across levels of government, and between the Government and private institutions. This memorandum requires executive departments and agencies to take the following steps toward the goal of creating a more open government: Publish Government Information Online To increase accountability, promote informed participation by the public, and create economic opportunity, each agency shall take prompt steps to expand access to information by making it available online in open formats.2With respect to information, the presumption shall be in favor of openness (to the extent permitted by law and subject to valid privacy, confidentiality, security, or other restrictions). Americans want to know why all the ammunition is being purchased. Not even one head of an agency has come forth with complete answers. Do your part. Ask for a Congressional Inquiry into this matter.

1	Doctors at Valley Hospital Medical Center are reporting that pop sensation Justin Bieber is in critical but stable condition today after being admitted to the facilitys intensive care unit Sunday night with severe booing-related trauma sustained at the Billboard Music Awards. Mr. Bieber was rushed into the ER late last evening after enduring heavy boos, and while the situation was pretty touch-and-go for a while there, his vitals look good and we are hopeful he will eventually make a full recovery, emergency medical specialist Dr. Isaac Liss said of the 19-year-old singer, who entered the hospital after being badly hurt by a chorus of jeers, jibes, and heckles while accepting the fan-voted Milestone Award. Were just trying to administer lots of love and praise right now. Hes still on shaky ground, but with a steady, round-the-clock course of fawning adulation, I think Mr. Bieber will one day soon, with luck, be able to make another awards show appearance. At press time, Biebers condition had taken a turn for the worse after the performer was booed by one of his nurses. 
1	In a postgame press conference following a Game 7 loss that halted another magical Red Sox playoff comeback, Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia informed the nation that you can't win them all. 'Realistically speaking, you cannot win literally every game you play,' Pedroia said. 'What I'm trying to say is, there are many variables that go into each game, like the weather, fatigue, emotion, and human error. Combine those elements with the randomness inherent in the universe, and it's absolutely impossible for a team to win all the time. Every season, we have 162 games, which can be seen as 162 opportunities to either win or lose, taking into account that our opponents also want to win. I'm sure most fans believed otherwise, but I just hope everyone can accept this unfortunate truth.' To further illustrate his point, Pedroia drew a diagram based on Schrdinger's famous cat-and-box gedankenexperiment to show that, although any baseball game has the potential to be won or lost, only one outcome can occur. 
2	BREAKING: Trump Gets Devastating News, It May Be Too Late For Him To Recover... Please Pray There is something very, very wrong with this election. According to reports, residents of at least two different Texas cities have come forward with complaints that when they voted for Donald Trump, the voting machine switched their ballot to Hillary Clinton. Early voting began over the weekend. Since then, many reports of suspicious tampering have surfaced. Gary and I went to early vote today, Lisa Houlette, a Texas resident, wrote on her Facebook page. I voted a straight Republican ticket and as I scrolled to submit my ballot I noticed that the Republican straight ticket was highlighted, however, the Clinton/Kaine box was also highlighted! I tried to go back and change and could not get it to work, Houlette continued. I asked for help from one of the workers and she couldnt get it to go back either. It took a second election person to get the machine to where I could correct the vote to go a straight ticket. Houlettes experience was echoed by Shandy Clark, a voter in Arlington, Texas. I had a family member that voted this morning and she voted straight Republican, Clark wrote. She checked before she submitted and the vote had changed to Clinton! She reported it and made sure her vote was changed back. They commented that it had been happening. Spread the word to your family friends! We need to be extra careful with our ballots this election season.

When Bill OReilly decided to host Goldberg as a guest on his show to discuss how Muslims are treated in the world, it became increasingly clear that the loudmouthed TV host knows very little about what is happening in the world. OReilly came into the debate with facts and statistics to support his claims, while Goldberg came to the table, as usual, with nothing but her opinions and irrational justifications for them. In fact, the two of them even got into an argument about who bombed us at Pearl Harbor. Watch the ridiculous video below and tell us what you think. 
2	She Was The First To Ever Win Entertainer Of The Twice, What Shes Doing NowOMG Barbara Mandrell is a country music star. She was inducted into the country music hall of fame in 2009 and was the first country singer to ever to win the award twice. She did it in 1980 and 1981. No one did it again until Taylor Swift. Barbara has given us countless hits through out the years. She is easily one of my favorite artists. At 35 years old, Barbara and two of her children were involved in a fatal head on collision. Her and her children were injured, but the driver of the other car was killed immediately. The driver of the other car lost control and flew over the median. Luckily her and her children were not more severely hurt. Barbara is also known for her many TV shows that she hosted. The TV shows helped her skyrocket into fame in the 80s. Barbara was the hottest country singer for a decade. Mandrell has been retired since 1997. She says it is due to the car crash. It made her reassess her life. She said that she was lucky to have not been killed. Barbara was an amazing artist and gave us lots of hits. Do you remember her? 
3	Obama and Romney Gangsters for FascismSean Kerrigan, Contributor Take any issue of substance. Try to spot the difference of opinion between Obama and Romney: trade policy, the unaccountable Federal Reserve, the gulag prison system, the war on drugs, military spending, NSA surveillance, the destruction of civil liberties, banking regulations, gerrymandering, the role of international banking institutions like the World Bank and the IMF, Israel, energy policy, the wars, drone strikesthe list goes on I can assure you. If youre an intellectually enslaved partisan, youre already probably grasping at straws, trying to justify your position choosing the lesser of two evils. The differences between the two parties on these issues is barely visible, and yet we somehow feel justified picking sides. Even judicial appointments, the final plea for party unity, has lost its credibility. They are not looking out for you. To quote Ralph Nader: What is the breaking point? The criminal war of aggression in Iraq? The escalation of the war in Afghanistan? Forty-five thousand people dying a year because they cant afford health insurance? The hollowing out of communities and the movement of jobs to fascist and communist regimes overseas that know how to put the workers in their place? There is no breaking point. And when there is no breaking point, you do not have a moral compass. I wont be voting for either major party, but I have to accept that one of them will win the presidential election. So who should I prefer? Another part of me hopes Obama wins. He deserves to win. He deserves to watch the countrys economy disintegrate below his feet. As the floor beneath him falls away, hell stare into the 10th circle of hell, a special place reserved for bankers and politicians who enable their destructive deeds. Hell be forced to accept historys universal condemnation for his barbarous acts. If your intention was to turn the United States into an Orwellian police state, you could not do a better job than President Obama. He has claimed the power to kill American citizens simply because he accuses them of being terrorists. There is no judicial review, no possibility of parole, you will not see a lawyer or your family again. For a mere belligerent act, you can be detained indefinitely in a cell, forgotten, never again to see the light of day. In classic dictatorial fashion, he has attempted to expand the reach of the empire by engaging in undeclared wars without the permission of the people (Congress). And we havent even touched on his unwillingness to enforce the law with regard to the criminal banking class. However, if you attempt to expose the power elites abuse of the system, like Thomas Drake or Bradley Manning, youre likely to face the full fury of government power. To date, the Obama administration has indicted six individuals under the Espionage Act, more than all other administrations combined. Mitt Romney may be an aspiring murderer and gangster for fascism, but Barack Obama is a murderous gangster for fascism. He deserves to feel the universal condemnation that will come to him when the economy collapses. We wont make it to 2016 before we are forced to deal with the worlds debt problems. When I was growing up, there used to be an expression tossed around between people whenever politics was discussed: Theyre all crooks. It was a conciliatory statement, and usually got a few nods from around the room and often a few chuckles. Today, that statement is still common, but the chuckles are gone. Instead of being accompanied by slight laughter, theres a sadness that comes with it. Its not funny anymore.

1	In a daring feat of circumnavigation never before attempted, 6-year-old Connor Damrush successfully completed a circuit of the 2500 block of Parker Drive early Saturday morning, silencing naysayers who had called it impossible. 'We maintained walkie-talkie contact with him for most of the journey, but Connor went into radio silence shortly after turning onto Orchard Street,' said Mission Control specialist Dougie O'Neill, 5. 'It was tense for a few minutes there, but boy, did we all breathe a sigh of relief when we saw that red trike come around that corner.' Among the sights Connor reported from the far side of the block were his school's flagpole, a Dunkin' Donuts sign, and a garbage truck.

1	Although Tony Stewart and his Old Spice Chevrolet rallied from two laps down to finish a respectable eighth in Sunday's Kobalt Tools 500, Stewart had to be retrained from assaulting his number 14 Impala immediately after the race. 'You understeering tire-eating hunk of junk,' Stewart said to the car, his knuckles bleeding from the blows he managed to land on his car's fenders and roof before his pit crew intervened. 'I ought to have put you into the wall myself, so help me God. You had best shape up before the Food City 500 or so help me God I won't be responsible for what I do to you.' Stewart later issued an apology to the car, saying his remarks were made in anger and that he looked forward to their continued partnership. 
3	79 Members Of Congress Have Been In Office For At Least 20 YearsBy Michael Snyder This list includes names such as Reid, Feinstein, McConnell, McCain, Pelosi, Boehner, Rangel and Boxer. In this article, I am going to share with you a complete list of the members of Congress that have been serving us for at least 20 years. They believe that they are serving us well, but without a doubt most Americans very much wish that true change would come to Washington. In fact, right now Congress has a 15 percent approval rating with the American people, and that approval rating has been consistently below 20 percent since mid-2011. So of course we took advantage of the 2014 mid-term election to dump as many of those Congress critters out of office as we possibly could, right? Wrong. Sadly, incumbents were re-elected at a 95 percent rate in 2014. This just shows how broken and how corrupt our system has become. The American people absolutely hate the job that Congress is doing, and yet the same clowns just keep getting sent back to Washington again and again. Our founders never intended for service in Congress to become a career, but that is precisely what it has become for many of our public servants. As of this moment, there are 79 members of Congress that have been in office for at least 20 years, and there are 16 members of Congress that have been in office for at least 30 years. No wonder so many Americans are advocating term limits these days. When there are dozens of members of Congress that know that they are going to be sent back to Washington over and over again no matter how the American people feel about things, that can cause them to become extremely callous toward the will of the people. Instead, often these politicians become increasingly responsive to the needs of their big donors, because it takes big money to win campaign after campaign. I am sure that if George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were running around today, they would be absolutely disgusted by how our system has evolved. The following is a listfrom rollcall.com of the Republicans in the U.S. Senate that have served for at least 20 years and the dates when they first took office Orrin G. Hatch, Utah Jan. 4, 1977 The following is a list from rollcall.com of the Democrats in the U.S. Senate that have served for at least 20 years and the dates when they first took office Patrick J. Leahy, Vt. Jan. 14, 1975 The following is a list from rollcall.com of the Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives that have served for at least 20 years and the dates when they first took office Don Young, Alaska March 6, 1973 The following is a list from rollcall.com of the Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives that have served for at least 20 years and the dates when they first took office John Conyers Jr., Mich. Jan. 4, 1965 As you looked over those lists, you probably noticed that they contain many of the members of Congress that Americans complain about the most. Unfortunately, because the vast majority of these individuals come from states or congressional districts that are basically a lock to vote a certain way, there is very little hope of ever removing them. That means that most of these Congress critters are going to get to keep coming back for as long as they want. No matter which political party you prefer, this should greatly disturb you. Our founders certainly never intended for a permanent class of elitists to rule over us. But that is what we have. We are supposed to have a government of the people, by the people and for the people, but instead we have a government of the elite, by the elite and for the elite. Most people do not realize this, but today most members of Congress are actually millionaires. The disconnect between members of Congress and average Americans has never been greater than it is right now, and I think that is a very troubling sign for the future of this nation. So is there a solution to this problem? Please feel free to share what you think by posting a comment below This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

1	Turning up the volume on his record player while wearing his best sharkskin suit, George Clooney reportedly spent another evening at home Thursday with the mummified members of the Rat Pack. Hey, Frankie, how about you tell that story about the hostess from the Sands and I pour us some more gasolinethree fingers on the rocks, right? said Clooney, who, after distributing the drinks and clearing everyones plates, reportedly grabbed the chemically preserved corpses of Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr., dabbed the beads of embalming fluid running down their cheeks, and propped them up on the bar stools in his billiard room. Rack em up, Dino! Man, Im glad we still make time to get together for things like this. Say, Peter, what do you say we get some girls over here and make a real night of it? According to sources, the evening came to an abrupt end after Joey Bishops deteriorating arm fell off following prolonged exposure to the air in Clooneys walk-in humidor. 
1	Just days before the Super Bowl, the Pittsburgh Steelers' public relations department announced that the team's vaunted 'Steel Curtain' defense would be renamed to more accurately reflect their city's current vocational demographics. 'With the sunset of the foundry era in Pittsburgh an acknowledged reality, it was time to take a serious look at team nicknames,' media relations director Tina McClary said. 'After reviewing Pittsburgh's current position as a leader in financial services, health-care management, and corporate administration, we settled on the 'Mid-Level White-Collar Curtain' or 'Middle Management' as the new nickname for our defense. As usual, our offense will have no particular nickname.' McClary would not speculate on whether or not the team would change the Steeler name itself, but admitted that executives had looked at uniform designs for the Pittsburgh Retailers, the Pittsburgh Biomedical Technicians, and the Pittsburgh Eighth-Most Fortune 500 Company Corporate Headquarters Hosters. 
3	The Latest Update On The War Between Russia and The U.SBy Luke Rudkowski In the very early stages of the Syria conflict when the WSJ infamously wrote a long piece outlining a strategy to arm moderate rebels to overthrow Assad, there were no alt media writers forecasting the apparent emerging showdown with Russia was smoke cover to create an international terrorist group to unleash on the entire middle east and western nations. Thats a blind a spot we cant afford. Never underestimate your enemy. There is a reason why going back to the 1990s Russian elites adopted IMF/BIS/World Bank banking and economic neoliberalization, Agenda 21, engineered false flag attacks, and under Putin began eviscerating civil liberties guaranteed under the 1993 Russian Constitution. The Russian government TOTALITARIAN expansion of growing surveillance and outlawing dissent is rapidly progressing, in lockstep with France, EU, US, etc. On Nov. 20 the MSM reported anti-extremist laws Putin enacted in 2002 (to include non-violent thought criminals in the 2007 amendment) were being used in one part of Russia to prosecute Jehovah Witnesses as extremists for not adhering to an approved religion. There are no good oligarchs on the planet, we are being played AGAIN. The WWIII psy op is fear based control and distraction to keep us from seeing the BIG TRAP waiting for us. Kudos to the media warriors who are on the front lines getting US the facts that may save the lives of millions. Those of US who just set back and allow others to take our money to finance the senseless killing make US accomplishes in these murders of the new millennia. It is not guns that will save US but the standing up to these bullies and thieves who have stolen your childrens future for their profits. Luke sees something and says something worth reporting; if only the main stream reporters would grow a backbone we could break the silence over our own extinction. Good job Luke!! The collective contributions we all make, and are in denial of, are no different than the final admissions made during the Nuremberg trials in Germany. Watch the movie with spencer tracy and especially the speech by the main defendant in the end. Evil always starts in very small steps and none of this would ever happen if we had the courage and morals to say no from the beginning. Our real shame is we lie to OURSELVES. The public also needs to be taught deconstruction, simple reporting doesnt go far enough to teach the people how to spot complex patterns and logical inconsistencies. One simple example of many is to ask why were Israel and the US quietly sending military parts and support to Iran which was in turn arming Syria for a number of years immediately prior to the escalation of the conflict? Such activities were officially not allowed due to sanctions of Iran as the evil boogeyman (even though Iran was already working hand in hand with the IMF to transform itself to the NWO model following the Iran-Iraq war). Luke has done a magnificent job getting groups to spread the word on 9/11 and the rise of the police state. We are running out of time, free speech and lines of communication are being actively threatened with internet censorship growing in Europe and Russia recently ran a test to wall off the internet from the outside world, modeled after Chinas system, thus, deep analyses are critical now to get as many people seeing the big picture as possible. 
1	Less than two weeks after his passage into God's Eternal Kingdom, Cardinal John O'Connor is already irritating the Archangels with his constant talk of Heaven's lack of facilities, culture, and cosmopolitanism compared to New York City, his former place of residence. 'He doesn't complain about the manna, per se, but he won't let us forget that you can't find a decent Italian restaurant open around here after 11 p.m.,' Archangel Gabriel said Monday. 'We're also well aware that the Lord's Heavenly Choir doesn't hold a candle to the New York Choral Society, whose recent performance of Verdi's Requiem at Carnegie Hall was far better than anything the Cardinal ever expects to hear around here.' 
1	Commissioner Gary Bettman told reporters Tuesday night that the addition of the first-ever slam-dunk contest to the NHL All-Star skills competition may have been 'a big mistake.' 'Unfortunately, Jonathan Cheechoo severely injured his back and neck attempting his 360-degree, between-the-legs slam, and Sheldon Souray sliced Ryan Miller's back with his skate blade when he tried to hurdle over him to complete his dunk,' said Bettman, who was initially angered when some of the biggest names in the NHL, notably Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin, chose not to participate. 'Joe Thornton is out for the season with multiple facial lacerations after his stick shattered the backboard, and Marian Hossa may have ended his career when he tried, and failed, to dunk from the blue line.' According to Bettman, the most disappointing part of the dunk contest is that 5'10' Paul Kariya took 20 minutes to complete his rather marginal dunk and probably won the contest only because he was the shortest participant. 
2	Obama Does THIS After Body Of American Girl Is Identified In Paris Weve all heard enough this ISIS attack in Paris. Unfortunately, it has just been discovered that a young American woman was found dead in Paris. She was a Cal State Long Beach student, only 20 years old. She was studying abroad in Paris, and was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Obama has finally realized we need to tighten security and take action. He sends his condolences to the family of the girl, and is planning Americas next move. We are in full support of France, and it looks like we might be taking action soon. We already took out an ISIS leader this week with drone missiles. Now its time to take out the entire operation. Do you think America should stand with France against ISIS? 
1	Parishioners of Pastor Theo Leobalds First Congregational Church of Holy Christ In Heaven will not meet next Sunday morning for a coffee social and morning Bible study as they do every week, gathering in fellowship and offering thanks and praise to God on high. The reason for the cancellation? Simply the fact that, according to Leobald, God does not now, has never, and will never exist. &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;img src=http://onionimg.local/15353/original/300.jpg&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; The Church of Holy Christ In Heaven will soon change its name to the Church of Imaginary Make-Believe Land. When asked why he is convinced of Gods nonexistence, Leobald became visibly irritated with reporters. Whatre you, an illiterate peasant? Arent you familiar with 20th century thinking at all? Christ, read a book, or maybe just think about the idea for a minute. Pretty ridiculous, huh? he said. When pressed, however, he sighed heavily, and explained that thousands of years ago, tribes of nomadic desert peoples made up God because, being incapable of scientific reasoning due to caveman-like existences, they had no other way of making sense of things like sunshine, rocks and pork-transmitted trichinosis. They made it all up, and they were ignorant, unwashed, half-naked pre-historic barbarians, Leobald said. So who are you gonna believe: Carl Sagan, and the pantheon of the worlds greatest scientific and intellectual minds, or some guy who measured wealth by how many goats he had? Sagan, according to Leobald, is an astronomer in a big city far, far away who writes what are known as books. I just felt like an idiot saying all that nonsense week in, week out. Whats the point of singing hymns of joyous adoration to a fictional entity? Leobald said. Why convene to donate time, money and personal resources to a being which exists only in fabulous legends and mythological ancient texts? If we were to keep doing that, week after week, why, wed feel ridiculous, wouldnt we? Plus, wed look pretty stupid as well. Itd be like talking to a wall, and frankly, Ive got better things to do with my time. And I sincerely hope all of you do too. Although reactions among community members to Leobalds decision have been varied, most have been positive. I never really liked getting up that early on the weekend anyway, but continued to do so out of gripping fear of having my entrails eternally ripped out by flaming scimitars after death, Gregory H. Tensdale, 51, said. But now that I know its all just pretend, I am no longer terrified. Tensdale concluded by adding that the uncomfortable dress-up clothes he has always detested will be on the trash heap by sundown, and that he fully expects to stay clad only in underwear until well after the game on Sundays from now on. I enjoyed the lovely singing during church service, and was very sad to see it go, particularly because I am a lonely septuagenarian waiting to die, Mabel Graskowsky, 78, said. But then Pastor explained to me that there are groups who get together just for singing only, and I could go to any one I wanted whenever I wished. Just singing! None of that boring inbetween stuff I always slept through. Im much happier now. Not all opinions were as supportive. Who cares if God isnt real? I say worship him anyway, School Board Member Fred Nichtenhausen said. After all, every grown-up man and woman knows Santa Claus isnt real, yet we worship him every year on Christmas, the Holy Day of Santas birth, as prophesied by Nostradamus. Added junior high school student Curt Mondaham, who was unimpressed with the pastors speech, Big deal. Hes just saying the same thing Neil Pearts been saying for years. For those who still want to worship, if not God, but just something, Leobald has started a Sunday morning group called The Church of Imaginary Make-Believe Land, where churchgoers will have their choice of nonexistent beings to submit to. Some of the worship selections include Poseidon, super-agent James Bond and fabled storybook character Peter Pan. Im worshipping Peter Pan, Gladys Fye, 108, said. I do so love his adorable little pointed green shoes. Oh, that Tinkerbell with her magic dust! For his part though, Leobald says he will not be attending. Im meeting once a week, not Sundays but on Wednesdays, with anyone who cares to join me. We wont be worshipping anybody, just practicing my favorite hobby, horticulture. Ill admit, it doesnt have the power to grant eternal absolution from earthly pain, but at least flowers are real. We must cultivate our garden.

3	Latin American Countries Want to Close All US Military Bases Within Their BordersJohn Vibes His sentiments are shared by many residents of South and Central America, as well as many of the governments. Samper suggested that this weeks Summit of the Americas would be a good place for Latin American politicians to start this conversation. A good point on the new agenda of relations [in Latin America] would be the elimination of US military bases, Samper said. Samper also suggested that these military bases that the US government has scattered throughout the world are remnants of the Cold War. In a globalized world like the present one, you cant ask for global rules for the economy and maintain unilateral rules for politics. No country has the right to judge the conduct of another and even less to impose sanctions and penalties on their own, headded. It is unknown exactly how many military bases that the United States government has scattered throughout the world because so many of them are secret and off the record. Some reports suggest that the number is as low as 500, with other suggesting that it is around 1000 or even higher. The US has 227 military bases in Germany alone.

3	Turmoil Rocks Egypt: Morsis OutStephen Lendman Egyptian troops control key sites nationwide. Large contingents are deployed around Cairo. Unconfirmed reports suggest Morsis under house arrest. Egypts Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) gave him 48 hours to yield. Do so or step down, it said. The deadline came and passed. Reuters reported that SACF said its ready to die to defend Egypts people against terrorists and fools. It did so in response to Morsi. It headlined The Final Hours. It did so hours after Morsi rejected a power-sharing ultimatum. It expired Wednesday morning. Reuters said Egyptian troops control state television. Shoukry Abu Amira heads it. He confirmed it. Armored vehicles patrol outside. Publicly Morsi remains defiant. If the price for legitimacy is my blood, he said, then I am prepared to sacrifice my blood to legitimacy and my homeland. Privately its anyones guess if he means it. Perhaps he yielded power. Ultimately he has no choice. SCAF has final say. Reuters suggested hell resign or be sacked. Late reports said hes out. SCAF forcibly removed him. Ahramonline is the governments official English language web site. It said military officials told Morsi hes no longer head of state. Coup detat power rules. Opposition crowds expected it. Their numbers exceed anything Egypt before experienced. SCAF head Abdul Fatah al-Sisi and key commanders have final say. Theyll decide how things turn out. On Monday, he called for families in all Egyptian governorates and villages to be prepared to take to the streets and fill squares. He said do so to support Morsi. Hes history. He no longer matters. Crowds opposing him dwarf supportive ones. Millions upset with his rule left him no choice. He reflects leadership without authority. Travel bans against Muslim Brotherhood officials were issued. Prime Minister Hisham Kandil and Morsis ministers abandoned their offices. SCAFs expected to install new provisional council officials. Interior Minister General Muhammad Ibrahim placed police, internal security and intelligence forces at SCAFs disposal. Coup detat authority rules. Events remain extremely fluid. Separate incidents claimed 16 lives. Many injuries were reported. Reports suggest SCAF plans a new constitution. New elections will be called. Theyll be held soon as possible. Morsis election was tainted. His fate is unknown. Perhaps hell remain a powerless figurehead. Maybe hell stay that way until someone replaces him. Post-Mubarak, SCAF took power. It did so again. Obama tried to save Morsi. So did Joint Chiefs chairman General Martin Dempsey. They urged SCAF not to issue a 48-hour ultimatum. They proposed leaving him in office, stripping him of power, and installing a transitional government ahead of new elections. Reports said SCAF head al-Sisi rejected Washingtons demands. Unconfirmed ones said Washington sent or plans sending hundreds of US troops to Egypt. Perhaps special forces are there. On June 19, a Fort Hood press release headlined 6-9 Cav. to support peacekeeping in Sinai, saying: The 1st Cavalry Division announced today a battalion task force from the 3rd Brigade Combat Team will deploy to Egypts Sinai Peninsula this summer as part of the Multinational Force and Observers peacekeeping force. A 40+ US battalion is involved. Perhaps greater numbers are now. Sinai deployment maybe shifted to Cairo. A so-called Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) is composed of troops from 13 governments. Its trained in riot control. Its mandate is controlling violence. Its mission is serving US imperial interests. Events continue fast moving. Updated reports follow others moments earlier. Tanks are deployed in central Cairo. Morsis government is crumbling. On Tuesday, Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr resigned. So did military advisor General Sami Anan. Senior judges and police officials joined anti-Morsi protesters. SCAF promises intervention if he fails to heed the will of the people. His deadline passed to do so. Muslim Brotherhood officials were arrested. Reports suggest theyll be tried for crimes in office. Morsis last message was resist. He urged doing so peacefully. Angry protesters want him out. They got what they asked for. The Military dictatorship replaced him. Expect final outcome to same old, same old. Replacing Mubarak accomplished nothing. Expect nothing different this time. Democracys verboten. Popular needs arent addressed. Nothing going forward looks promising. Expect festering anger to continue. In time itll again erupt. Perhaps much more violently. Revolutionary struggles arent easy. They take time. Dozens died in recent days. Thousands may next time.

1	A U.N. study released Tuesday revealed that North Korea is the least-entertained nation on earth. The notoriously isolated Communist nation ranked last in all 57 of the studys entertainment-related statistical subcategories, including celebrity-to-ordinary-citizen ratio, number of Nintendo 64s per thousand persons, and per capita fun. 'These North Koreans are starving for the sort of Hollywood-style thrills that we take for granted here in the U.S.,' Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said. 'Its tragic.' 
2	The Largest Mosque In Western Europe Is Burning As We Speak, But Heres What Caused It According to recent reports, more than 70 firefighters have been dispatched to fight the flames at Baitul Futuh Mosque in London Road. Those who were attending a prayer session in the building while it was hit have been evacuated, and officials say that while one man has been taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation, there are no other injuries reported. Now, more than half of the mosque is on fire. We are working very hard to control the fire, station commander Phil Morton told reporters, claiming that the cause of the fire is still unknown. As its such a big building with such high ceilings, I imagine it will take a while yet. We are using an aerial appliance to apply water to the roofa fire break to stop the fire spreading, he continued. Still, he reports, they expect a large portion of the mosque to be damaged. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is this a sign? 
2	This World Leader Just Publicly Humiliated Obama... White House Is Up In Arms According to recent reports from Russia Today, French Parliamentarian Yves Pozzo di Borgo caused quite the controversy when he visited Crimea this week. Reports indicate that the politician showed up at the event with a t-shirt that read Obama, youre a schmuck. Di Borgo was supposedly out for a walk when he came across the shirt and decided to try it on. He bought it shortly thereafter. What do you think of the shirt? 
2	Watch Closely...Muslim Does Unspeakable Thing At Public Beach Throughout his presidency, Barack Obama has refused to acknowledge Muslim refugees as a threat to our safety, arguing that they are peaceful people from a peaceful religion. Videos, like this one that has just surfaced, remind us that this is not the cases at all. Just look at Europe, which has been completely overrun with Muslim migrants in the past few years. Footage captured a group of refugees learning the hard way that harassing women will not be tolerated in Western countries. The migrants, unprovoked, begin sexually harassing women on a beach in Poland. Thats when the husbands and boyfriends of the women step up and teach them a lesson theyre not likely to forget. 
1	Audience members at the Benedum Center for the Performing Arts are reporting that, oh God, no, approximately 20 extremely enthusiastic actors are approaching the edge of the stage and appear determined to continue their current musical number in the main seating area. Attendees were oh, for the love of&#8212;they're going to make everyone sing along. 'Oh, man, are they? Shit,' one audience member was overheard saying as the energetic ensemble began filing down previously unseen stairs and past the front row. 'Shit, shit, shit.' Increasingly uncomfortable audience sources have also confirmed that the performers are proceeding down the aisle with crisp, larger-than-normal steps timed perfectly to the music. Even more shocking, some appear intent on interacting with noncast members. 'Their smiles are so big,' a female theatergoer said while pretending to look for something in her purse. 'Why does that one have a cordless microphone? Is he going to try to talk to us?' 'I have to go to the restroom,' she added. While it remains unclear how long this horrifying breach of the fourth wall will last, or why the actors worked so hard to create a fictional distance between themselves and the audience if they had no intention of maintaining it, past productions suggest there are still five minutes left in the current number. Some predict the cast will return to the stage before the song's conclusion, but others fear they may stay in the aisles, making unnerving eye contact and blocking all available exits. Thus far, the actors have ignored audience members' squirms and anxious expressions, opting instead to clap in an effort to get everyone to clap along with them. Oh, no, more singing and dancing performers have just entered the balcony. 'Their makeup looks way scarier under normal lighting,' one theater patron whispered. 'Especially that one kid playing the old man.' Audience members have given no indication that the actors' increased proximity has enhanced their experience, or given them a sense of involvement in the production. Some have questioned, however, whether or not it is out-of-character for the play's antagonist to be doing the twist with the show's protagonist, especially before the conflict between the two has been resolved. While most theatergoers have avoided meeting the actors' gaze by smiling awkwardly and staring straight ahead, the roughly 76 people seated on the aisles have been less fortunate. Performers are currently removing them from their seats and are apparently forcing them to participate in some kind of humiliating choreographed dance. Jesus Christ, one actor just did a jumping toe-touch from the stage into the audience, pumped his fist, and high-fived a fellow performer, prompting those in the first several rows to jerk back in their seats and shield their heads. 'Why can't we just watch the play?' a female audience member asked a man who is possibly her husband. 'When I saw this with Diane in New York, I swear, David, I swear they didn't do this.' Although the exodus into the seating area was not announced, there have been several indications that the actors could be capable of ruining the invisible boundary between them and the paying public. During the previous song, the ensemble sang the words, 'For all of us,' and gestured not only to themselves, but also to the audience. A second, more ominous sign was the sudden raising of the houselights during the song's chorusa slight change in mood that caused some worried attendees to look around and ask, 'What's going on?' And, just before the upbeat percussive section that unleashed the thespians, a male lead turned his head sharply to the audience and said, 'Here we go.' By then, however, it was too late. Witnesses say one actor has now perched himself on the back of a seat and started singing directly to a small child. The boy has responded by clinging to his mother and burying his face into her chest. 'They're bringing that fat guy back onstage with them,' an audience member said. 'Oh, Christ, what are they going to make him do? Whywhy don't they just leave us alone?'

He was for 4 years, mostly in solitary. Hekmati has just been released by Iran as a result of a U.S. Iran prisoner swap. He describes his newfound life like being born again. This man should have never been taken captive. We shouldnt have to negotiate REAL prisoners for innocent Americans. Not to mention the psychological damage he was caused through solitary confinement, and the fact that he was put in one of the most dangerous prisons in Iran. While we are glad that Hekmati made it back alive, Obamas decision to negotiate with enemies has set a terrible precedent for the future. Watch Hekmati explain his feelings of his newfound freedom in the video below. 
2	Islamic Suicide Bomber Trainer Accidentally Blows Up His Entire... According to reports, a terrorist in Baghdad was in the middle of conducting training for future militants, when he accidentally detonated a bomb. As a result, he ended up killing 21 of his students, and himself. The students were apparently training to became Islamic State militants, and were destined to become participants in the attacks that are taking place in the United States and throughout the world. Many are viewing the incident as retribution for the many innocent lives that have been robbed in the name of radical jihadism. This turn of events likely saved hundreds, if not thousands, of innocent lives in the future. Although details are unclear, it appears that the instructor was showing his students how to use a suicide belt at the time of the incident. What do you think? Did this professor get what he had coming to him? 
2	BREAKING: Senate SHUTS DOWN Obama In Historical Landmark Decision On Guns As was expected, the Senate rejected four partisan gun measures offered in the wake of the Orlando massacre, including proposals to keep guns out of the hands of people on terror watch lists. Two proposals put forth by Republicans would have increased funding for the national background check system. It also would have created a judicial review process to keep any person on a terror watch list from buying a gun. Two measures put forth by Democrats would have expanded background checks to private gun sales and allowed the Justice Department to ban gun sales to suspected terrorists. The Senate also turned down similar bills introduced in December after the shooting in San Bernardino, CA. Since the current party is split in the Senate, any bid to toughen gun laws requires bi-partisan support to get to the 60-vote threshold necessary. There are 54 Republicans and 46 Democrats and Independents. According to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Democrats are using the issue as a political talking point. He commented that the two GOP measures are real solutions. No one wants a terrorist to be able to buy guns or explosives. No one, McConnell commented. Instead of using this as an opportunity to push a partisan agenda or craft the next 30-second campaign ad, colleagues like Sen. Cornyn and Sen. Grassley are pursuing real solutions that can help keep Americans safer from the threat of terrorism. Contrastingly, Minority Leader Harry Reid called the Republican measures political stunts that are meaningless in doing something to stop gun violence. These are amendments to divert attention from real legislation, Reid commented. Why? So Republicans can say, Hey, look, we tried, and all the time their cheerleaders, their bosses at the NRA, are cheering. I opposed Senator Feinsteins proposal because it would not prevent terrorist attacks, but it would deny thousands of law-abiding Americans their constitutionally protected right to bear arms without any due process, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida commented. Rubio concedes that the Murphy amendment to expand background checks also places too many burdens on law-abiding Americans. What do you think? 
1	Burger King ATLANTAFlames tore through an Atlanta-area Burger King Tuesday, killing seven overweight teenage mothers and leaving the restaurant's manager with an equal number of positions to fill before tomorrow's noon lunch rush. 'We've got all shifts available,' manager Stephen Rollo said. 'Day, night, weekends, you name it.' Rollo said the employees/young mothers who perished in the blaze fought bravely, but could not escape. 'It was horrible. Lisa, Kathy, Dawn, Gina, LaTonya, Renee and Pam were all trapped behind a wall of flames. There was nothing we could do,' he said. While the cause of the fire remains a mystery, Rollo said that one thing is certain: 'Those were seven very special, very courageous women, the kind that are not easily replaced,' he said. 'At least not on such short notice.' 
1	Insisting the alleged victim must have an ulterior motive, numerous residents told reporters Thursday that local woman Beth Hutchins probably made up her story about being raped just so she could receive a barrage of threatening emails. Im sure she saw the opportunity to get tons of vicious, verbally abusive messages from complete strangers, so she just decided to lie and say she was raped, said area resident Richard Becker, adding that the 28-year-old most likely invented all the horrific details of her purported assault as a cry for anonymous commenters to relentlessly attack everything about her, from her character and body to her drinking habits and sexual history. Shes obviously full of shit. She plays the victim card and thenpoofjust like that, shes instantly showered with hate-filled posts on her Facebook page calling her an ugly slut and encouraging her to kill herself. Thats exactly what she wants. When informed that Hutchins had filed a police report, undergone a physical examination, and subjected herself to multiple questionings by authorities, Becker shook his head and told reporters it just goes to show how far some women will go to have their personal information leaked online so that crazed strangers can come to their homes and intimidate them in person. 
2	The City Of New Orleans Votes To Remove Confederate Statues According to recent reports, the New Orleans City Council just voted to remove four monuments to the Confederacy from key locations in the city. Statues of confederate leaders like Gen. Robert E. Lee, P.G.T. Beauregard and President of the Confederacy Jefferson Davis. The last monument to disappear will be an obelisk dedicated to the Battle of Liberty Place. This is the most extreme of a string of similar rulings being made throughout America to remove symbols of Confederate history, which liberals have been trying to deem symbols of racism. Mayor Mitch Landrieu has called the move a courageous decision to turn a page on our divisive past and chart the course for a more inclusive future. Other officials argued that this would remove New Orleans from being under the statues of the past. It will not improve the socioeconomic balance of the city, council member Stacy Head, who voted against the measure, told reporters. Landrieu claims that he was moved to action following the South Carolina massacre at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal on June 17. Dylann Roof, the shooter, was a worshipper of the battle flag. A week later, Landrieu first introduced the plan. This is the right thing to do at the right time, Landrieu told reporters. The ordinance approved by the council deems the Confederate monuments nuisances and unconstitutional, but supporters of the monuments argue that the figures of the Confederacy are not meant to preserve racial injustice. Rather, they argue, the statues are about honoring figures who fought to protect the city. New Orleans was the largest city involved in the Confederacy, and ultimately fell to Union forces in 1862. What do you think? Is this a disgusting attempt to erase history that helped to build the South? 
3	The Evolution of Autonomous Dronesselfnews Post National Geographic recently even pointed out some positive uses beyond the military for micro-drones such as hurricane hunting, 3-D mapping, search and rescue, agriculture and protecting wildlife. (source) However, drones continue to evolve in tandem with advancements in robotics and computing toward some very hands-off applications. Instead of a glorified remote-controlled hobby craft, drones are becoming autonomous both in flight and decision making. To be sure, the evolution of drones toward full autonomy is a stated goal by the military, which has been working for some time on implementing a true Terminator-like Skynet Global Digital Defense Network. An article from Aviation Week cites the desire to reduce the burden on humans (i.e. eliminate them) by creating autonomous systemsthat can work together to make decisions on their own. A computer network matched with swarm drones could provide an autonomous communication between robots and computers to form a net of redundant data collection, analysis, and military response. We need to have a balanced capability to operate remotely piloted aircraft both in permissive airspace and contested airspace, he says, adding that one of the greatest weaknesses of the fleet is that every platform has to be controlled by an operator on the ground. Those linkages are vulnerable to jamming. To counter that you need to move toward a greater degree of autonomy, but along with moving to autonomy youll encounter a variety of policy issues that when you have a man-in-the-loop you dont have to worry about that much. With this as the backdrop, a recent announcement about self-assembling autonomous drones furtherindicates where this technology is heading: Researchers at ETH Zurich have demonstrated an amazing capability for small robots to self-assemble and take to the air as a multi-rotor helicopter. Maximilian Kriegleder and Raymond Oung worked with Professor Raffaello DAndrea at his research lab to develop the small hexagonal pods that assemble into flying rafts. (Source) That video can be seen here: A new quadcopter developed by The Virtual-Reality-Team at Vienna University of Technologyhas been successful eliminating the middle man by putting all of the computing power at the ready by essentially equipping the drone with a smartphone. The core element and the most expensive part of the quadcopter is a smartphone. Its camera provides the visual data and its processor acts as the control center. The quadcopters intelligence, which allows it to navigate, was coded in a smartphone-app. In addition, a micro controller adjusts the rotor speed, so that the quadcopter flies as steadily as possible. The quadcopter was designed to work indoors, even in small rooms. This is a major challenge; especially close to walls or corners, aerodynamics can be much more tricky than in open space. Apart from that, the quadcopter cannot make any use of GPS data, it has to rely entirely on visual data. To test the quadcopters navigational capabilities, the team attached visual codes to the floor, similar to QR-codes. Hovering above these codes, the quadcopter recognizes them, obtains information and creates a map of its environment. Once it has created a virtual map of the codes on the floor, it can head for a specific known location or go on exploring areas it has not yet checked out. In the future, the quadcopter should also be able to do without these codes. Instead, we want it to use naturally occurring reference points, which can be obtained from the camera data and also from depth sensors such as the MS Kinect, says Annette Mossel, chief engineer of the quadcopter project. (Source) The march toward drone autonomy is happening at both the largest and smallest scale in both military and civilian applications. The low-cost and manageability of copters and micro-drones makes them perfect for delivery systems and hand-held search and rescue or police applications. However, fixed wing aircraft is a greater challenge, but is yet another area where there is rapid development. The Navy was successful in its test of Northrop Grummans X-47B aircraft which took off and landed at the Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md. General Atomics sees this as part of the future of autonomous warfare in this rather disturbing promo of where these systems could be by 2017: In just the last few years a smarter, faster autonomous helicopter has become ready to take flight, as announced in Popular Mechanics. As they mention, while high-altitude aircraft are able to avoid many earth-bound dangers, helicopters are more prone to wind and weather issues, as well as the physical elements such as canyons, mountains and trees. The software and hardware behind this craft is called Matrix and will be fully tested in the near future: The team plans to test it out in the UH60M Black Hawk helicopter this fall, when theyll demonstrate autonomous cargo pickup and delivery. Next year, the plan is to take Matrix for a flight under brown-out conditions, as well as practice landing on the decks of ships. By the sounds of it, theyll have autonomous VTOLs catching up to fixed-wing drones in no time. (Source) Many have already witnessed the huge level of police helicopter traffic in places like Los Angeles; one can only imagine if those tasks are made easier through automation how prevalent they could become. For now, the focus is officially on search and rescue and all of the great things that drones could offer for our service and protection. How about flying into a city blasted by a nuke or dirty bomb? Its being proposed. Combined with the coolness factor being pushed in the commercial areas, it looks like drones are here to stay and evolve to whole new heights. As drone expert, P.W. Singer said, At this point, it doesnt really matter if you are against the technology, because its coming. And here is the dark side of what else might be coming as drones evolve to where they mimic nature itself: Read other articles by selfnews Post Here linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	Researchers Say Minority Report Technology to Become Reality by 2020By Jake Anderson Juniper Research asserts that by 2020, There will be as many as 492 million motion and gesture-tracking devices. This incredible 280% increase suggests gesture and motion control will become vital for certain forms of human-computer interaction in the coming years. In Minority Report, which is based on a 1956 science fiction short story by Philip K. Dick, Tom Cruise plays Police Chief John Anderton, whose PreCrime division sources future info from specially harvested humans. These PreCogs possess extrasensory perception. In some of the more memorable sequences of the film, director Steven Spielberg features Cruise in command of a seemingly endless universe of virtualized charts, graphs, and animated digital info. According to Junipers new Gesture, Motion Haptics interface research, in only a few years most Web users will be handling information this way. Interestingly, traditional devices, like PCs and even smartphones, are not expected to adopt gesture and motion control with anywhere near the same frequency. In fact, the innovation Juniper expects to spearhead the change is virtual reality. Virtual reality headsets and wearables such as smart watches and glasses are uniquely suited to integrate motion and gesture tracking. While this all seems like an unlikely magnitude of change to occur in just three years, recent reports on virtual reality and augmented reality support such a rapid and massive paradigm shift. According to another recent report, Apple expects new AR headsets and VR glass wearables to dominate the entertainment market in as little as two years. Evidently, before he died,Steve Jobs had envisioned the VR takeover and set plans into motion for Apple to be on top of the trend. The precognitive policing of Minority Report could become reality, too. The technology of 2020 probably wont include PreCogs floating in water and generating dream-visions of the next murder, but there are some analysts who think nation-states will wield complex predictive crime programs in the near future. And some manifestations of this technology exist now. But will these nascent technologies mature to be full-blown PreCrime divisions? Its hard to know. After all, hindsight is 2020 or is it?

2	Concealed Carrying Veteran Stops Masked Attacker Armed With Sword The real problem in situations like these is the person. Not the weapon being used. This was shown once again in an incident Thursday Morning when a masked man, armed with a sword, attacked a school full of children. The attacker killed one student and injured four. We are thankful that this off duty veteran police officer was at the scene and able to subdue the masked man. The students were described as young but not kids, by Niklas Claesson. Some of them have serious injuries and are being operated on. Thank goodness this hero was at the right place with a gun and was able to minimize the travesty. Are these children in your prayers?

1	Team officials from the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts emerged from a tense, 12-hour negotiating session Thursday and told reporters that, while they had yet to reach a settlement that would prevent a massive on-field conflict, the AFC and NFC champions were committed to resolving the Super Bowl through diplomatic channels. 'Playing this Super Bowl is our last resort,' said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who was flanked by the coaches and quarterbacks for the opposing teams. 'Yes, there are some difficult issues that need to be hashed out, such as who will be the game's MVP, the number of total passing yards for each quarterback, and which team will be named Super Bowl champion, but I think we made progress today.' 'The Colts and the Saints are unwavering in their commitment to avoid any violence and wish to resolve the Super Bowl peacefully, without a single football being thrown,' Goodell added. According to team sources, formal overtures to crown a Super Bowl victor through peaceful negotiation began almost immediately after Saints kicker Garrett Hartley connected on a game-winning field goal against the Vikings last Sunday. Saints general manager Mickey Loomis reportedly sent one of the team's high-level ambassadors, Deuce McAllister, to Indianapolis to see if the Colts would agree to a 42-38 outcome wherein the Saints would be named Super Bowl champions. Sources confirmed Colts general manager Chris Polian told McAllister that, while he was open to diplomacy and would do anything to avoid sending his players into harm's way, his organization would prefer a final result that favors the Colts 27-17. 'Absolutely no one wants to see these teams forced to take the field and play 60 minutes of brutal football against each another,' Colts owner Jim Irsay said. 'But the Saints have to understand that if they aren't willing to meet us half way on some our demands, specifically those that are outcome-related, we are fully committed to using all our offensive firepower to achieve our goals.' 'If this game is played, I assure you it's going to be a bloodbath,' Irsay continued. Saints owner Tom Benson told reporters that, while he believes the teams are capable of compromise, the major sticking point preventing the negotiations from moving forward has been a failure to agree on who would be the winner of the Super Bowl. 'The Colts don't seem to want to bend on this, and unfortunately, this is one area where we as an organization are firm,' Benson said. 'We are more than willing to give the Colts 36, 42, or even 986 points, just so long as the Saints receive 37, 43, or 987 in turn.' Continued Benson, 'I'd just like the Colts to take a moment and think about what this long, bloody clash would be like, not only for their players, who will be putting themselves in the line of fire, but also for their families, who will have to watch their husbands and fathers be shipped out to Miami, some of them for the second time.' Commissioner Goodell said both teams reached a tentative agreement Thursday for the Saints to win a theoretical opening coin toss. However, this arrangement was contingent upon Saints kickoff return man Courtney Roby not running the ball deep into Indianapolis territoryan incursion the Colts said they would consider an act of aggression. While some have praised Goodell's step-by-step approach to reach a game outcome through diplomacy, many believe it won't be enough. 'In my experience, negotiations like this always break down, and on Sunday, Feb. 7, at 6:28 p.m., all hell will break loose,' said former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue, who has tried with little success to broker similar deals. 'It will be just like last year and the year before that and the year before that. You'd think that after what the Giants did to the Patriots in 2008 these guys would learn their lesson.' Added Tagliabue, 'That entire Patriots team was basically wiped out that night.' As of press time, Saints coach Sean Payton had been fired for making a verbal agreement to lose the Super Bowl prior to it being played. 
1	Comedian Dennis Miller momentarily turned serious Monday to address the critical issue of long-distance service. 'When the people at 10-10-220 brought to my attention the savings Americans are losing with every call they make using other carriers, I knew something had to be done,' Miller said. 'I could not stand by in good conscience while millions of innocent people went uninformed about which long-distance service offers the best rates.' Added Miller: 'The madness must end. All calls up to 20 minutes are just 99 cents.' 
1	San Francisco's newly minted general manager, former scout Trent Baalke, asked the NFL head office for clarification on a point of order Monday over whether the team is required to exchange its draft picks for a football player. 'Our roster has plenty of guys on it, so I believe the franchise should look to address other needs through the draft, like for instance we don't have a trampoline or a pontoon boat,' said Baalke, who said he would consider trading the seventh pick in the first round to any team who could offer him a set of beanbag chairs. 'If we have to get an athlete, I'm thinking maybe a power forward. We don't have one of those right now.' NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is expected to deny the request, saying the last time he allowed San Francisco to use a draft pick for non-football player purposes they wasted them on Utah's Alex Smith. 
2	Race Rioters Target Massive Attack On FOX Headquarters Due To NonThe protesters and rioters that have been breaking out following the grand jury decisions in the cases of Garner and Brown have a new target: Fox News Headquarters. According to recent reports, protesters are scheduled to meet in front of the News Corporation. The die-in shutdown will take place right in front of the studios, and threatens to interfere with regular recording and broadcasting. The group is also believed to have plans to target the New York Post, also part of Rupert Murdochs media holdings. The Post has outraged protesters with their reports of the police brutality taking place in the riots. Race rioters view them as clear supporters of the NYPD. It is no wonder that some groups feel threatened by the two news stations, who are known for reporting facts and stories that others choose to ignore. What do you think? Do you support Fox News? 
2	Federal Agents Daughter Tried To Expose Obama, Heres What Happened To Her [VIDEO] According to reports from the Conservative Tribune, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agent named Taylor Johnson has just blown the whistle on initially minimized law enforcement during an immigration program. Johnson reportedly told the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs that after doing her job and revealing the irregularities in the program, she faced harsh punishment. The program she is referring to is called EB-5, and is designed to grant green cards to foreigners who invest at least $500,000 in U.S.-based companies. Johnson argues that she uncovered immense corruption in the system that posed significant national security threats. Some of the violations investigated surrounding the project included bank and wire fraud, and I discovered ties to organized crime and high-ranking politicians and they received promotions that appeared to facilitate the program, she commented. I had discovered that EB-5 applicants from China, Russia, Pakistan, Malayasia had been approved in as little as 16 days. I found over 800 operational EB-5 regional centers throughout the U.S. Given that the United States is only supposed to allow 10,000 EB-5 visas every year, that number is quite alarming. After bringing these inconsistencies to light, Johnson was denied access to her case files, and the government informed adoption social workers that she had lost her job because of criminal activity. When an adoption social worker tried to contact and verify employment, she was told that I had been terminated for a criminal offense, she told the committee. I almost lost my 1-year-old child. What do you think of Johnsons story? Are you sick of the corruption in our immigration system? This is a serious security risk. 
1	Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts unveiled a $500 million Wrigley Field renovation proposal Thursday that includes demolishing the clubhouse, bleachers, upper deck, lower deck, as well as building a new stadium 10 miles north of the soon to be razed ballpark. Its going to be the same Wrigley Field that Chicago fans love, but it will have more space, new corporate boxes, new high-definition video boards, a new location, and a brand-new name, said Ricketts, adding that the plan to modernize the revered Wrigley Field by tearing down outmoded features and constructing a new ballpark in the suburb of Evanston will be respectful to the stadiums rich history and maintain its iconic status. Im very confident that these renovations will be enjoyed by our new roster, management, and fanbase. Ricketts assured reporters that the refurbished outfield wall at Wrigley Field will still feature a 5-foot section of ivy. 
1	Stating that he only wants to wash his clothes and be on his way, local man Eric Snyder told reporters Wednesday that for once hed like to visit the laundromat without meeting an absolutely perfect woman. I swear, it seems like every single time I head down to do a couple loads of wash, I end up choosing the same machine as an attractive, vivacious grad student who just happens to have a ton of similar interests, said Snyder, lamenting that unfailingly before the first rinse cycle has begun, hell be involved in a flirtatious conversation with a stunning, engaging, and well-read 22-to-26-year-old who forgot her detergent at home. Just one time Id love to be able to fold my laundry in peace instead of looking up into the most beautiful eyes Ive ever seen. Id have so much time to finish other chores if I could just put my clothes in the basket and leave without making plans to grab a coffee around the corner with an amazing woman after discovering that we share an identical quirky sense of humor. Snyder also told reporters he would give anything for one morning commute without sitting across from a gorgeous woman reading the same book as him. 
3	Another Mental Health Kidnapping in San Bernardino CountyJanet Phelan When Charles Castle was grabbed off the street by San Bernardino mental health court workers Bob Habel and Wayne Henkelman, almost nobody realized he was missing. Charlie was homeless and while a virtual fixture on the street scene in Redlands, California, he lacked family and social support networks. Some folks, such as Ken Stein with the YMCA, where Charlie went to shower, thought that he was possibly deceased. Taken Not deceased, but certainly disappeared, Charlie was taken to Arrowhead Regional Center hospital and held in a mental health unit while powerful parties determined his fate. He reports that he was not present at his mandated court hearing and only found out several months later that he had been placed under a mental health conservatorship. His conservatorship proceedings were steeped in fraud. Charlie was represented by the same law firm, the law offices of Bryan Hartnell, which also represented the conservator, Melodie Scott. Initially, the Public Guardian was appointed as conservator and Scott quickly petitioned to take over this function. According to Charlie, his attorney terrorized him out of his right to a jury trial. He recalls being told by attorney Ryan Sheehan (who has since left the law firm) that his best recourse was to waive his right to a jury trial. Castle recalls Sheehan saying It will get real bad for you if you lose the trial. They can put you wherever they want to and you will never get out. Better to go along. Charles Castle was first approached by conservator Melodie Scott a few months before he was grabbed in front of the library by mental health workers Wayne and Bob. According to Castle, she asked him if he would like her to be his conservator and take care of him. He responded with an emphatic, No maam. According to a number of people who knew Charlie Castle, including a local schoolteacher and the pastor at the Blessing Center, he is considered to be eccentric but competent to handle his own affairs. Police cover up Reports about Charlie Castles plight have been lodged with Adult Protective Services in both Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties. One of those reports was forwarded to the Pomona Police Department for investigation and this reporter was shocked to discover that the report had been altered and did not reflect in any manner the report tendered to APS. The original report focused on two issues: 1) the fraud inherent in court proceedings where the same lawyer represents both sides and 2) concerns as to why the conservator has repeatedly placed Charlie Castle into facilities which do not have programs to address his alleged mental health problems. According to Lt. McDonald, watch commander with the Pomona PD, the report that was being investigated by Pomona alleged that the conservator Melodie Scott had misappropriated Charlies Social Security check back in July of 2011. As conservator, Scott would by law be the recipient of Castles social security checks. The report had been altered so as to make the original complaint into a non-issue, which would then result in a quick closure of the case, while at the same time making the complainant look foolish and ignorant. An appeal was made to the Pomona PD Chiefs office questioning the genesis of the altered report and an angry Captain Michael Olivieri declined to further discuss the Charlie Castle report. This reporter has learned that the Pomona Police subsequently determined they lacked jurisdiction and sent the altered report back to Redlands Police Department for investigation. The report was then closed by Detective Andy Capps of the Redlands PD, who stated no action would be taken. Deaf, Dumb and Blind Other agencies were quick to follow in vacating their mandated responsibility to address Charlies plight. A supervisor at the Long Term Care Ombudsman in Los Angeles County opined that the Ombudsman was prohibited from investigating without the consent of the conservator. When asked for the legal authority (statute) prohibiting her from launching an investigation, she provided an irrelevant Welfare and Institutions code. Follow up phone calls to her were ignored until the agencys Vice President was contacted and a complaint was lodged. A similar fate met a report lodged with Rashied Gibri, who is with the Los Angeles County Patients rights office. After the initial report went uninvestigated, Gibri was recontacted. He then hunkered down and refused to take the report. Asked again for the legal authority governing his refusal, Gibri became combative and hung up. On more than one occasion, a Redlands man, Keith Phillips, addressed the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors on Charles Castles behalf. An initial strong response by Supervisor Josie Gonzales quickly reversed, as the County began to allege that it had no jurisdiction to act. SB County public information officer David Wert has repeatedly stated that the San Bernardino County Public Guardian also lacks jurisdiction to step up and petition to take the conservatorship back from Melodie Scott, as Charlie Castle is now being held in Los Angeles County. Who is Melodie Scott? Melodie Scott was the subject of a Los Angeles Times expose back in 2005 and the public outcry as to the revelations of conservator abuse prompted the California legislature to pass the Omnibus Conservatorship reform act of 2006. After Governor Schwarzenegger repeatedly stalled the funding for the nascent organization, the Professional Fiduciaries Bureau finally opened its doors for business in 2008. When Scott applied for her Professional Fiduciaries License with the newly formed Bureau, her license was initially denied on grounds that she lied on her application. A protracted legal battle ensued and Scott finally achieved licensure in 2010 on a legal technicality. Lawyer Lies In an effort to determine his legal standing, Castle also contacted the law firm of Bryan Hartnell, requesting a copy of his legal file. After leaving several voice messages, he did speak with a woman at the firm who told him it would be a felony for the firm to give him his file. At that point, several concerned individuals contacted Bryan Hartnell to request that Charlies file be given to him. All these calls were ignored. As mental health conservatorships are governed by privacy laws, the court is prohibited from releasing information about this case. Calls to San Bernardino Superior Court Presiding Judge Ronald Christianson were not returned. Writ alleges legal abuse On August 27, after determining that his conservatorship, which must be reviewed and renewed by the court every year, had apparently never come up for renewal, Castle filed a writ of habeas corpus. His writ seeks relief on two groundsinadequate representation by counsel and the failure of the court to review and renew the conservatorship. A report was subsequently made to El Monte police department, alleging that Charlies current situation constitutes kidnaping. A belligerent police dispatcher Mr. Pool was more interested in finding out about the person making the report and angrily hung up the phone without listening to the substance of the complaint. An officer who subsequently went out to Ramona to do a welfare check was satisfied that Charlie was not in danger at the facility. From his genteel prison in Ramona nursing home, Castle ponders the motive for his detention. He receives a social security check each month in the neighborhood of $900, hardly a financial carrot for such a concentrated effort to strip him of his rights and detain him. During a period when mental health detentions are becoming more and more common for dissidents and activists, one might wonder if the homeless are the next to be sent off to the gulag.

2	Denmark Says No To Muslim Refugees, All Americans Need To Know Why According to recent reports, Denmark has just announced that it will be closing its borders to Muslim refugees. Danish Integration Minister Inger Stojberg released a statement claiming that her country will not be accepting any of the 160,000 Middle Eastern refugees that are currently in the European Union program. This is a change in tune from last year, when Denmark accepted 15,000 refugees seeking asylum. We will not make part in the 160,000 asylum seekers that shall be distributed, Stojberg concluded. We wont do it because we have an opt-out and because we already taking a great deal now. Stojberg wasnt the only one making Denmarks message loud and clearthe country recently placed ads in a Lebanese newspaper advising migrants not to cross their borders. What do you think? Should the United States follow Denmarks lead? 
3	CIA mind-control program: not gone, not forgottenJon Rappoport Start with this untitled June 27, 1994, document, stored at the National Security Archive at The George Washington University. It was written by a CIA advisory committee, and forwarded to the Presidential Committee on Human Radiation Experiments, which was preparing public hearings in 1994. Here is a key quote: In the 1950s and 60s, the CIA engaged in an extensive program of human experimentation [MKULTRA], using drugs, psychological, and other means, in search of techniques to control human behavior for counterintelligence and covert action purposes Most of the MKULTRA records were deliberately destroyed in 1973 by the order of then DCI Richard HelmsHelms testified that he agreed to destroy the records because there had been relationships with outsiders in government agencies and other organizations and that these would be sensitive in this kind of a thing but that since the [mind-control] program was over and finished and done with, we thought we would just get rid of files as well, so that anybody who assisted us in the past would not be subject to follow-up questions, embarrassment, if you will. Helms was not only admitting he destroyed the records, he was stating that the MKULTRA program deployed, through contracts, outsiders to carry out mind control experiments. He was determined to protect the outsiders, to keep their identity and work secret. He was also dedicated to preventing these people from exposing the nature of their mind-control work. Subsequently, some of these outsiders have been revealed. But no one really knows how deep, far, and wide the CIA penetrated into academic and research communities to enable MKULTRA. Helms also stated that MKULTRA was ended. There is no reason to believe this. Therefore, his justification for destroying huge numbers of documents was absurd. For example: Back in the early 1990s, I interviewed John Marks, author of Search for the Manchurian Candidate. This was the book that exposed the existence of the infamous CIA MKULTRA program. John Marks related the following facts to me. He had filed many Freedom of Information (FOIA) requests to the CIA for documents relating to their mind-control program. He got nothing back. Finally, as if to play a joke on him, someone at the CIA sent him 10 boxes of financial and accounting records. The attitude was, Here, see what you can do with this. Ive seen some of those records. Theyre very boring reading. But Marks went through them, and lo and behold, he found he could piece together MKULTRA projects, based on the funding data. Eventually, he assembled enough information to begin naming names. He conducted interviews. The shape of MKULTRA swam into view. And so he wrote his book, Search for the Manchurian Candidate. Marks continued to press the CIA for more MKULTRA information. He explained to me what then happened. A CIA official told him the following: in 1962, after ten years of mind-control experiments, the whole programwhich supposedly was shut downhad actually been shifted over to another internal CIA department, the Office of Research and Development (ORD). The ORD had a hundred boxes of information on their MKULTRA work, and there was no way under the sun, Marks was told, that he was ever going to get his hands on any of that. It was over. It didnt matter how many FOIA requests Marks filed. He was done. The door was shut. Goodbye. The CIA went darker than it ever had before. No leaks of any kind would be permitted. In case there is any doubt about it, the idea of relying on the CIA to admit what it has done in the mind-control area, what it is doing, and what it will do should be put to bed by John Marks statements. The CIA always has been, and will continue to be, a rogue agency beyond the reach of the law. Socan we go back in time and find evidence that the CIA embraced goals that would take their mind-control research right up through the present day? Yes. Goal: develop drugs to transform individualsand even, by implication, society. Drug research going far beyond the usual brief descriptions of MKULTRA. The intention is there, in the record. A CIA document was included in the transcript of the 1977 US Senate Hearings on MKULTRA, the CIAs mind-control program. The document is found in Appendix C, starting on page 166. Its simply labeled Draft, dated 5 May 1955. It begins: A portion of the Research and Development Program of [CIAs] TSS/Chemical Division is devoted to the discovery of the following materials and methods: What followed was a list of hoped-for drugs and their uses. The range of CIA intentions was stunning. Some of my comments gleaned from studying that drug list The CIA wanted to find substances which would promote illogical thinking and impulsiveness. Serious consideration should be given to the idea that psychiatric medications, food additives, herbicides, and industrial chemicals (like fluorides) would eventually satisfy that requirement. The CIA wanted to find chemicals that would produce the signs and symptoms of recognized diseases in a reversible way. This suggests many possibilitiesamong them the use of drugs to fabricate diseases and thereby give the false impression of germ-caused epidemics. The CIA wanted to find drugs that would produce amnesia. Ideal for discrediting whistleblowers, dissidents, certain political candidates, and other investigators. (Scopolamine, for example.) The CIA wanted to discover drugs which would produce paralysis of the legs, acute anemia, etc. A way to make people decline in health as if from diseases. The CIA wanted to develop drugs that would alter personality structure and thus induce a persons dependence on another person. How about dependence in general? For instance, dependence on institutions, governments? The CIA wanted to discover chemicals that would lower the ambition and general working efficiency of men. Sounds like a general description of the devolution of society. As you read the list yourself, youll see more implications/possibilities. Here, from 1955, are the types of drugs the MKULTRA men at the CIA were looking for. These are direct quotes from the document: Substances which will promote illogical thinking and impulsiveness to the point where the recipient would be discredited in public. Substances which increase the efficiency of mentation and perception. Materials which will prevent or counteract the intoxicating effect of alcohol. Materials which will promote the intoxicating effect of alcohol. Materials which will produce the signs and symptoms of recognized diseases in a reversible way so that they may be used for malingering, etc. Materials which will render the induction of hypnosis easier or otherwise enhance its usefulness. Substances which will enhance the ability of individuals to withstand privation, torture and coercion during interrogation and so-called brain-washing. Materials and physical methods which will produce amnesia for events preceding and during their use. Physical methods of producing shock and confusion over extended periods of time and capable of surreptitious use. Substances which produce physical disablement such as paralysis of the legs, acute anemia, etc. Substances which will produce pure euphoria with no subsequent let-down. Substances which alter personality structure in such a way that the tendency of the recipient to become dependent upon another person is enhanced. A material which will cause mental confusion of such a type that the individual under its influence will find it difficult to maintain a fabrication under questioning. Substances which will lower the ambition and general working efficiency of men when administered in undetectable amounts. Substances which promote weakness or distortion of the eyesight or hearing faculties, preferably without permanent effects. A knockout pill which can surreptitiously be administered in drinks, food, cigarettes, as an aerosol, etc., which will be safe to use, provide a maximum of amnesia, and be suitable for use by agent types on an ad hoc basis. A material which can be surreptitiously administered by the above routes and which in very small amounts will make it impossible for a man to perform any physical activity whatsoever. Thats the list. At the end of this 1955 CIA document, the author [unnamed] makes this remark: In practice, it has been possible to use outside cleared contractors for the preliminary phases of this [research] work Thats further evidence that the CIA mind control program, going forward, would rely on and use a large number of non-CIA researchersevidence of which, as noted above, was destroyed by CIA director Richard Helms in 1973. If you examine the full range of psychiatric drugs developed since 1955, youll see that a number of them fit the CIAs agenda. Speed-type chemicals, which addle the brain over the long term, to treat so-called ADHD. Anti-psychotic drugs, to render patients more and more dependent on others (and government) as they sink into profound disability and incur motor brain damage. Dr. Peter Breggin, author of Toxic Psychiatry, places the number of Americans whose brains have been damaged by these anti-psychotic drugs at 300,000, at minimum. The SSRI antidepressants, like Prozac and Paxil and Zoloft, which produce extreme and debilitating highs and lowsand also push people over the edge into committing violence. Tranquilizers, which debilitate the thinking process for millions of users. These drugs drag the whole society down into lower and lower levels of consciousness and action. If thats the goal of a very powerful and clandestine government agencyits succeeding. And now, using the pretext of lone-shooter mass violence (Aurora, Sandy Hook, etc.), the US government, out in the open, is funding massive research to map the brain, in order towhat? Control the brain. Return it to a state of normalcy. Meaning: create a society in which obedience to authority is the prime human value. Every day, the neuro-psychiatric establishment is making the CIAs 1955 dream come true. MKULTRA mind control dead and buried? Not a chance.

1	Exploding out of the three-point stance and driving the Auburn defender backwards, Florida State left guard Josue Matias reportedly opened up a massive hole in his frontal cortex Monday during the National Championship game. Wow, he just slammed into the defensive lineman with such unbelievable force, commentator Brent Musburger said of the catastrophic collision that created a huge hole in the middle of the frontal lobe and sprang the Seminoles ball carrier free for a three-yard gain. He came barreling up the field and BOOM, just loosened the whole thing up. This is a BCS Championship memory that hell always [scarcely] remember. Following the play, a dazed and disoriented Matias wandered back 15 yards after a teammate was penalized for clipping.

2	Obamas Response To Chris Kyles Death Will Make You Sick Two years ago, national hero Chris Kyle lost his life tragically when he was fatally shot at a Texas gun range in February of 2013. The event made headlines, and many patriotic Americans throughout the country took time to mourn and recognize the loss of someone who risked his life to protect our country. Of course, President Obama was noticeably silent on the death of this American hero. We all know that he has bent over backwards to recognize the death of public figuresthat is, if they are a minority. Remember Obamas reaction to Trayvon Martin, or the kind words he had following Whitney Houstons death? It is no surprise that the president remained silent when Kyle passed away. Weve known for a while that Obama shows little interest in our veterans. What do you think of Obamas silence? 
1	Concerned parents are again blasting the Nintendo Wii for an incident of effeminate violence following a 13-year-old boy's limp-wristed attack on three of his classmates at a Cleveland-area middle school Tuesday. The incidentthe sixth of its kind in as many monthshas left parents searching for answers and struggling to comprehend the dainty assault, which left the necks of two sweaters severely stretched out and countless fingers stubbed. 'These games are a prissy little menace to our society,' said Linda Roberts, 35, a mother of three and founder of the group Parents Against Wii, which is suing Nintendo for $52 million in damages from two recent swattings. 'One of these days, the red marks on our children's arms might not just go away after five minutes.' The Wii, now the most popular gaming system in the country, most recently came under fire last month, when 15-year-old Los Angeles student Brian Strickland, who reportedly plays Wii Sports tennis, was expelled for flicking his wrist back and forth at a fellow sophomore's head. And in January, 12-year-old Boulder, CO native Andrew Conner, a fan of the WarioWare: Smooth Moves game, was hospitalized after swinging his arm like an elephant trunk into members of the eighth-grade boys basketball team. 'The Nintendo company is knowingly exposing our children to disturbing acts of foppishness right in our living rooms,' said Roberts of PAW. 'Even more frightening, the motion-sensing technology teaches them that the only way to resolve conflicts is to flail their arms in acts of fruity aggression.' Wii's critics claim that the sissified games use disturbing pastel imagery, graphic representations of adorable characters, and disorienting kaleidoscopes of color to prey on children's basest flaming instincts. The game Dewy's Adventure, in which children control a cute droplet of water who must return fruit to a magical tree, is often cited as one of the worst offenders. 'Three years ago, our children were not prancing after their peers and brutally flicking each other on the playground,' Roberts said. 'They were well-behaved wimps who spent their recess periods hiding from bullies. What are these terrible games doing to our country's sallies?' While no scientific link has ever been established, a report to be released by PAW later this month indicates an alarming correlation between Wii's growing popularity and a shocking 200-percent increase in wuss-on-wuss violence. In addition, the group documented 634 incidents of fussy skirmishes, all of which ended in tears. According to the American Psychological Association, prolonged exposure to cutesy video-game violence can increase aggressive frolicking and angry fluttering in children. Paula Greer, co-chair of the APA Committee on Violence in Video Games and Interactive Media, warned that Wii games reward players for explosive girly behavior rather than enforcing proper negative social consequences. 'The Wii's fluffy flowers and bright peach-colored sunlight glorify chasing precious talking rabbits with plungers,' Greer said. 'What kind of message is that sending to our children? That it's 'cool' to act like some kind of electrical elf or banana fairy?' The APA is working with the Entertainment Software Rating Board to update its rating system to reflect the perceived influence of Wii on children's behavior. According to suggested guidelines, games that contain insipid language, vigorous paint scrubbing, and mild to moderate bell-ringing will be rated P for Pansy; those that include simulated sand-pouring and intense lily-pad racing will be rated NP for Namby-Pamby. But some believe critics of the Wii are overreacting. Benjamin Warren, a First Amendment lawyer based in New York, defended the video game manufacturer, claiming it alone did not invent priggish hostility. 'Limp-wristed flapping has been around for as long as children have had wrists,' Warren said. 'Our society has always blamed whatever new trend comes along, be it windmills, knitting, the harpsichord, or Jazzercise.' Added Warren, 'Wii is just the latest targeta fuzzy, pink, cuddly little target with big eyes and a squeaky voice that just makes you want to eat it up.' 
2	Michelle Obama Accepts Large Gift From Iran Once again, the Obama family is proving to be among the most unethical families weve ever had in the White House. According to recent reports, the First Lady recently made the controversial decision to celebrate the Iranian New Year at the White House, complete with expensive food and entertainment. The move was especially controversial because it fell at the same time that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was giving his address to Congress. Reports indicate that Michelles party also came after Republicans sent a letter to Israel telling them that Obama cannot make deals without their approval. Despite all this, Michelle told her guests that celebrations like the one she was hosting are the traditions that make us who we are as a country. What do you think? Are you sick and tired of the Obamas misrepresenting our country on an international scale? 
1	According to a study published Wednesday by geologists at Georgetown University, the earths solid inner core will be the most livable part of the planet by the year 2060. Provided that current trends continue as anticipated, within half a century the most favorable conditions for supporting human life will be located roughly 3,200 miles below the earths surface, atop its superheated central sphere of iron and nickel, said study co-author Lance Zelowski, who predicted that by mid-century, the inner cores year-round temperature of 9,700 degrees Fahrenheit and its pressure of 3.5 million atmospheres would make it the most attractive location on the planet in which to live, work, and raise a family. In order to ensure future generations grow up and reside in the best environment available, people will need to make preparations in the coming years to move their families to this highly compressed metallic ball surrounded by swirling liquid metal. Zelowski acknowledged that, due to its limited surface area, only the wealthiest would likely be able to purchase property on the inner core, leaving most of the worlds population to make do in magma chambers directly beneath earths crust. 
2	Obama Disrespects Military So Donald Trump Does What No One Ever Thought He Would Throughout his two terms as president, Barack Obama has shown little respect for the United States military. It is no surprise that our men and women in uniform were quick to embrace Donald Trump, who has promised to value their contributions to this nation. On Saturday, the President-elect lifted spirits by attending the annual Army-Navy football game. According to Daily Mail, Trump flew to Baltimore to attend the 117th game between the military academies West Point and Annapolis. He told his Twitter following he was going to the game, as a show of support for our Armed Forces. In his eight years as president, Obama attended the game only once. Of course, liberals attempted to ruin Trumps gesture. When he arrived at the game, he was greeted by protesters chanting, No Trump, No KKK, No fascist U.S.A. They were also touting signs that read Resist and Make Fascists Hide Again. We knew we need to not back down from Trump, one of the leaders of the protest, who only identified as Ro, told USA Today. We want to make it clear that Baltimore is going to be a place where immigrants can find sanctuary if things continue going the way theyre going with the new president. We thought it was important to show there are people who oppose him and dont want him in our town, Charles Kerr told the local paper, Baltimore Sun. Despite the interruption, Trump remained unfazed. He spent the first half of the game in the box of David Urban, a West Point graduate and Republican adviser. For the second half of the game, Trump was in the box of retired Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North, a graduate of Annapolis. What do you think? Is Trump the type of leader our country needs? Is it time for liberals to start respecting our nations future president? 
1	Moments after recording his 479th career save Sunday, placing him ahead of Lee Smith as baseball's all-time saves leader, Padres closer Trevor Hoffman demanded that Major League Baseball immediately induct him into the Hall of Fame. 'I've worked my ass off for 14 years to get to this point, and now you're telling me I have to retire and then wait five more years before I get the chance to be recognized for my accomplishments?' Hoffman said. 'Bullshit, gimme my plaque.' After the game, Hoffman wished his teammates good luck in the playoffs, and informed bystanders that he was 'heading out to Cooperstown tonight if anyone wants to hear my speech.'

'At this tragic time in our magazine's history, let us look forward, remembering always the legacy of my predecessor,' said the 51-year-old Johnson, previously George's assistant editor, after being hastily sworn in by Chief Justice William Rehnquist on a New York-bound DC-10 jet. 'Let us now begin a process of healing, followed by a time of renewal at over 60 percent off the regular cover price.' The somber ceremony was witnessed by an estimated 15 George staffers and subscribers. 
1	Amid a spate of public health warnings this week regarding the infectious diseases devastating effects on fetal development, the Zika virus reportedly joined a lack of paid maternity leave and unaffordable child care as reasons why local woman Shannon Kemp is afraid of becoming pregnant. I was going to hold off getting pregnant for a few years anyway out of fear that my company might let me go when they find out, but this whole Zika scare certainly doesnt help things either, said the 26-year-old, explaining that the threat of giving birth to a child with an underdeveloped brain was just one of a litany of reasons behind her dread of becoming pregnant, including the likelihood of being passed over for promotions, the lower salaries received by mothers, the rising cost of prenatal care, the rising cost of postnatal care, the increased difficulty in being hired should she want or need to switch jobs, and the social stigma associated with breastfeeding in public. Honestly, this really isnt even the thing that worries me most about getting pregnant. Its definitely good to be aware of, but even if they find a cure for Zika tomorrow, its not like I can afford to get pregnant under my current insurance plan. Kemp added that its a good thing she still has limited access to expensive contraception. 
1	Saying she has still not grown accustomed to the irritating habit despite being married to the Brooklyn Nets power forward for a decade, Brandi Garnett revealed to reporters that she was once again kept up the whole night Thursday by her husband talking trash in his sleep. I must have woken up four different times from Kevin tossing and turning in bed while calling someone a little bitch who cant fucking score on him, said Garnett, adding that although she tries her best to simply tune out the unconscious trash talking, it generally occurs multiple times per night and can continue for 30 or 40 minutes on end. At one point I actually thought something was wrong, but then I saw his eyes were shut and he was snoring in between reflexively pounding his chest and mumbling God knows what about an opposing players wife. The worst was when he screamed Get that shit out of here! at the top of his lungs around four in the morningIm honestly surprised he didnt wake himself up. Garnett went on to explain that her husband never has any recollection the next day of having talked trash in his sleep, though he often seamlessly continues cursing out Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah as soon as he wakes up. 
1	Shocked Cleveland residents stared silently Thursday as workers tried for the 11th consecutive day to dismantle the massive black-and-white 'We Are All Witnesses' LeBron James mural hanging from the downtown area's Landmark Office Tower. Friday morning, as was the case the previous morning and the morning before that, Clevelanders awoke to find the iconic, 10-story-tall image of Jameshis arms fully extended after tossing his signature talcum powder into the aircompletely intact, dominating the city's skyline as if it had never even been touched. In the week since James' announcement that he would join the Miami Heat, Cleveland city officials and citizens alike have attempted to tear down, shred, deface, and even burn the image from the wall only to find it back in place the next day. No one has reported observing the mural's reappearance. 'We can't escape it,' said 42-year-old Clevelander Mark Hoffman, who along with 300 other local Cavaliers fans watched as the mural was ripped into thousands of pieces and buried under two tons of dirt in Riverside Cemetery Wednesday evening. 'The next morning it was there. Justthere. It's always there. Hovering over us like some sort of demon.' 'We are all witnesses,' a visibly traumatized Hoffman mumbled while swaying back and forth, his eyes engaged in a removed, distant stare. 'We are all witnesses. We are all witnesses. We are all witnesses.' As the city becomes increasingly disturbed and agitated, sources confirmed that the banner's sinister hold on the metropolis appears to be growing in strength. The image, they say, somehow becomes clearer and more ominous each time it reappears, intensifying the utter hopelessness and betrayal citizens have felt ever since James held a nationally broadcast television special to announce that he was leaving his home state in search of an NBA title with the Heat. The banner's resilience has reportedly taken on almost supernatural properties: On Tuesday city officials removed it panel by panel, only to find an identical mural hanging directly behind it. On Wednesday, not only did the banner reappear after being loaded onto a chartered one-way flight to Siberia, but the LeBron James depicted in the new banner was wearing a Heat jersey and holding two NBA Championship trophies in his outstretched hands. 'I walked up to the banner with a ladder and a rented power sprayer and painted it over about halfway,' 36-year-old Luke Denton said. 'I took a two-minute break to get some water, and when I looked up, the paint had disappeared. As if I'd never even done it.' 'And I could have sworn that LeBron's face was staring right at me,' Denton added. 'He had this demented grin that I'll never forget. Why does he want to torture us? Why?' Though the hated billboard is said to typically reappear as James' haunting likeness, some have seen other disturbing images. Last Thursday when the mural was attached to four 1,000-pound weights and forcibly sunk in the Cuyahoga River, commuters driving into the city reported seeing in its place a 10-story-tall photograph of John Elway leading Denver to victory over the Browns in the 1987 AFC Championship game. Others saw a still image of Michael Jordan jumping into the air and pumping his fist after his game-winning shot over Craig Ehlo. Many pedestrians, meanwhile, reported seeing a 100-foot banner of Earnest Byner's 1988 fumble on the three-yard line. An attempt to demolish the building altogether proved futile, as it was mysteriously replaced the following day by the completely new 15-story Art Modell Public Library. 'I would like to assure the citizens of Cleveland that we are doing everything in our power to rid our city of the LeBron James mural,' Cleveland mayor Frank Jackson said Thursday, adding that a priest from Bulgaria would be brought to the city next week to exorcise the banner. 'That being said, if you gouge your eyes out like I did, you can't see the image.' 'However,' Jackson continued, 'on the very threshold of audibility, you can still hear LeBron's voice repeating, 'This fall, I am going to take my talents to South Beach.'' As of press time, nobody outside the Cleveland area had seen the mural once since it was originally taken down last Sunday.

If youre celebrating this Fourth of July, be sure to share this message with your family and friends. The sign reads: Combat Veteran. Please Be Courteous With Fireworks. www.MilitaryWithPTSD.org While some have criticized the sign for putting a negative spin on a positive celebration, others can understand the significance of the message. Its no secret that PTSD is a serious and common condition faced by soldiers. Regardless of whether or not you agree with the message, its important to remember the true meaning of the holiday: to give thanks for our independence and celebrate those who did and continue to fight for our freedom. 
2	Americans Around The Country FURIOUS After Obama Insults Them In The Worst Way Possible In a post-election interview with Rolling Stone, President Obama criticized the Democratic party for their failure to reach out to blue collar workers on the proliferation of 24-hours cable newsmore specifically, Fox News Channel. Labor in the United States have always supported the Democratic Party, but this year, they turned their support to Donald Trump in hopes that he truly would bring jobs back to the United States. Obama tried to minimize his partys role in that by blaming Fox News as the culprit for Hillary Clintons loss. In this election, [white blue collar workers] turned out in huge numbers for Trump. And I think that part of it has to do with our inability, our failure, to reach those voters effectively, Obama told Rolling Stones Jann Wenner. Part of it is Fox News in every bar and restaurant in big chunks of this country, but part of it is also Democrats not working at a grassroots level, being in there, showing up, making arguments. That part of the critique of the Democratic Party is accurate. We spend a lot of time focused on international policy and national policy and less time being on the ground. This isnt the first time Obama has targeted Fox News. He has also blamed Facebook and social media for changing the way people receive their news. This is not simply an economic issue, Obama concluded. This is a cultural issue. And a communications issue. What do you think? Should Obama be looking at his own actions and failures instead of blaming Fox News? 
1	The Federal Emergency Management Agency on Monday unveiled its new $48.2 million Phone Tree Response System, a program designed to alert every American in the event of a large-scale disaster. 'The safety of our great nation is the responsibility of all 300 million of its citizens, so make sure you memorize the names and phone numbers of the three people you are supposed to call,' said acting FEMA administrator Nancy Ward, who assured reporters that, in the event of a chemical or biological attack, President Obama would be notified first so that he could inform Vice President Joe Biden, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, and Meredith Soto of Winslow, AZ. 'Remember: If they don't pick up, leave a message telling them there's a national emergency, and then call the next name listed in the 176,935-page, 253-volume directory until someone answers.' According to FEMA officials, regular tests of the phone tree will be conducted on a semiweekly basis to identify any numbers that are no longer in service.

They have done nothing but attacked Christians in this country and disrespected our democracy, even after Trump has been officially named our next president by the Electoral College. Because celebrities are fearful of having their livelihoods threatened, Trump has had some difficulty getting people to perform at his inauguration. Now, 24-year-old conservative Tomi Lahren joined Bill OReilly to take a stand against this backlash. Well Bill, there are still many Americans out there that fail to understand that Donald Trump will be our 45th president, that he will be inaugurated on January 20th, Tomi Lahren said. They havent even accepted that yet. If they cant accept that, of course, theyre not going to accept entertainers going to perform at the inauguration. I think its kind of the side-eye, the same thing we saw in the election, she continued. Oh, youre a Trump supporter? You must be a racist, you must be a bigotIm still wondering when theyre going to accept the fact that hes going to be our president. Then maybe we can move on and actually unite.

3	America On Fire: Why Is The Number Of Wildfires In The United States Increasing?Michael Snyder, Contributor 2011 was a record setting year for wildfires and this wildfire season is off to a very frightening start. Right now the eyes of the nation are focused on the Waldo Canyon Fire in Colorado. It doubled in size overnight and it has consumed more than 300 homes so far. It is threatening the city of Colorado Springs, and at this point more than 35,000 people have been forced to evacuate including the U.S. Air Force Academy. The Waldo Canyon fire is rapidly becoming one of the most expensive and destructive wildfires in Colorado history. The historic Flying W Ranch has already been burned totally to the ground by this fire. Local authorities are struggling to find the words to describe how nightmarish this fire is. The following are a couple of quotes from a CNN article. Richard Brown, the Colorado Springs fire chief, described it as a firestorm of epic proportions. Gov. John Hickenlooper surveyed the Waldo Canyon Fire, telling reporters it was a difficult sight to see. There were peoples homes burned to the ground. It was surreal, he said late Tuesday night. Theres no question, its serious. Its as serious as it gets. But this is not the only wildfire that is raging in Colorado. Right now there are 10 wildfires burning in the state. Overall, there are 33 large wildfires currently burning in twelve U.S. states. Throughout the interior West, firefighters have toiled for days in searing, record-setting heat against fires fueled by prolonged drought. Most, if not all, of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana were under red flag warnings, meaning extreme fire danger. But wait, didnt this kind of thing happen last year too? Yes it did. In fact, 2011 was one of the worst years ever for wildfires in America. The following is a short excerpt from an EarthSky article. Thousands of wildfires raged across the United States last year, 2011, burning a record amount of land, especially in the southern U.S. In fact, 2011 the third-most-active fire season since 1960 (when this record-keeping began) with respect to acres burned, according to preliminary data released from the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) in late December 2011. The NIFC will be releasing an official summary report detailing the 2011 wildfire season later in 2012, but for now you can read some of the details in the State of the Climate Wildfires 2011 report from NOAA. During 2011, a total of 73,484 wildfires burned an estimated 8,706,852 acres (35,235 square kilometers) of land across the United States. Wildfire activity during 2011 was exceptionally high and was only exceeded in the historical record by wildfire activity during the years 2006 and 2007. We have seen highly unusual wildfire activity throughout America in recent years. In the article quoted above you can find a chart which shows that wildfire activity in the United States has been far above normal during the past decade. Wildfire records have only been kept since 1960. The 6 worst years on record for wildfires in the U.S. have all happened since the year 2000. The following is from an Earth Island Journal article that I found. In the United States, where some of the most accurate wildfire statistics are kept, the six worst fire seasons in the past 50 years have occurred since 2000. In Texas, nearly 4 million acres were burned in 2011, double the previous record. This included the Bastrop Fire last September that destroyed 1,600 homes and became the most destructive fire in Texas history. In Arizona more than one million acres were burned in 2011, a new record. The Wallow Fire, which destroyed nearly a half million acres, was the largest fire in Arizona history. The Pagami Creek Fire in northern Minnesota became the third largest fire in state history when it burned 100,000 acres in September 2011, most of this in an unprecedented 16-mile run on a single day. So what does all of this mean? It means that the number of wildfires in the United States is increasing and wildfires are becoming more powerful and doing more damage. So what is causing all of this? The truth is that this is happening because we are seeing exceptionally dry conditions throughout the western half of the United States. In fact, 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. The eastern half of the country also gets very hot during the summer, but they dont have as many wildfires because they get a lot more rain. Many areas in the western half of the country have been experiencing drought conditions for quite a few years, and there seems to be no end in sight for the drought. If you go check out the U.S. drought monitor, you will see that almost the entire southwest United States is experiencing some level of drought right now. So what will July and August bring? It is kind of frightening to think about that. Earlier this year I wrote an article that postulated that we could actually see dust bowl conditions return to the middle of the United States. Many readers were skeptical of that article. But as much of the western United States continues to experience bone dry conditions and continues to be ravaged by wildfires, perhaps more people will understand how bad things are really getting in the interior west. Just because we have made great technological advances as a society does not meanthat we know how to tame nature. We can attempt to contain the massive wildfires that are popping up all over the place and we can attempt to deal with the drought, but in the end we cannot stop what is happening. So do you live in any of the areas that are being affected by these wildfires? Do you have an opinion about why so much of America is on fire?

The City Council unanimously approved the measure, which requires anyone who lets their pants hang more than three inches below the top of the hips to pay a fine of $25 for the initial offense, and $50 for each offense thereafter. All I know is we just dont want them running around half-naked on our streets, Mayor Phil Cagle told reporters. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with the ban? 
2	Laura Ingraham Loses It On Juan Williams For Bashing Trump, Relentlessly Rips Him Apart On Live TV [VIDEO] Recently, liberal commentator Juan Williams was part of the panel discussion segment on Fox News Sunday with host Chris Wallace. Of course, he used the opportunity to criticize the men President-elect Donald Trump has named to fill key positions in his administration. One of the men he targeted was retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who Trump appointed as his National Security Adviser. Williams tried to argue that Flynn is Islamaphobic and has dangerous ties to Russia. He then called Flynn and Trumps other choices a team of radicals. Thats when Trump supporter Laura Ingraham jumped in, demanding that Williams cite specific examples to back up his claims. But you said, team of radicals, Ingraham reminded Williams. This is the kind of stuff that has turned people against Washington, D.C. And these typethisthese types of lines against true patriots, who sacrificed for their country, who are beloved among the men and women in the military, who actually do the heavy lifting for all of us. Mattis, General Mattis, is one of the most beloved Marines of the last 50 years. General Flynn is considered one of the pre-eminent intelligence experts of our age. To throw out these lines, a team of radicals, that serves nobodys interest, she added. If you have a substantive disagreement with their approach to fighting terror on their approach to intelligence, thats fine. But these blithe comments, I think, have poisoned political discussion in this country, and I think its exactly why people despise this city. Watch the full segment below and tell us what you think. 
2	Miley Cyrus Said THIS About Conservatives, Bristol Palin Fires Back Bristol vs. Miley. This you have to see. After Cyrus voiced her contempt for Christian conservatives, Bristol Palin fired back and had this to say about it: Bristol Palin, daughter of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, penned a critique of the interview Cyrus gave to the magazine. The 24-year-old was angry not about the nudity, but about apparent contradictions in Cyruss value system. In one part of the article, the pop star calls herself the least judgmental person ever. In another, she discusses her contempt for fundamentalists. Is it just me, Palin writes, or does it seem more than a little fakethat someone claiming to be accepting of everyone and everything would spew such judgment towards her own parents and their deeply held religious beliefs? The story mentioned that Cyruss parents, Tish and country singer Billy Ray, raised her to be Christian and are conservative. [Cyrus] wants everyone else to let her be free to be Miley, but seems unwilling to offer the same respect to her parents and those who wish to live out their Christian faith, Palin continues. Oh, Miley. Thanks for giving us the best example of what tolerance looks like in Hollywood: it looks a lot like contempt. WashingtonPost What do you think of Palins critique? Let us know in the comments below. 
1	Following the lethal poisoning of more than a half million people over the course of several millennia, cultures across the globe finally learned how to identify which mushrooms could be safely consumed. 'Thousands upon thousands of human beings sacrificed themselves to determine which varieties of wild mushroom are delicious and which will paralyze and kill you on the spot,' historian Marcus Whiting told reporters. 'Without their painful, often grueling, prolonged, and excruciating deaths, we would never have discovered that it's okay to liven up a miso soup with a handful of flavorful shiitakes.' Scholars have long viewed this event as the most significant of its kind since the deaths of more than 800,000 confirmed that the bear could not be milked.

3	Can The Fuse To Economic Collapse Be Much Longer?By Rory Hall Ken is only allowed to say what his masters allow him to say. Dont believe me? Read this, then watch this video. How much more gold has left for China to fill those 2,000 metric ton vaults being built all over China since this was recorded? What actions have you taken to protect your family? If you havent started, think about what is actually happening. The BRICS, along with The Shanghai Cooperation Organization, have their plans in place, and their actions speak even louder than their plans. Russia is working on the alternative to the SWIFT system and plans on launching it in May of this year. Brazilian President Rousseff is designing and deploying an Internet system that operates outside the NSA, GOOGLE, Verizon, Apple run paradigm. China has already launched the BRICS Development Bank, with the equivalent of $100 BILLION backing. These are three largest and most important countries that belong to both the SCO and the BRICS. What actions are you taking to protect your family? Whenever someone attempts to write me off as a conspiracy theorist I quickly explain to them I do not have time for theories when there is so much criminality to report. If we just look at three of the largest crimes against humanity, it should be clear for anyone with a pulse to see that the Western Worlds days are numbered. The formation of the Federal Reserve system and the hijacking of the United States monetary system in 1913. The LIBOR scandal that broke in 2008 and set in motion the cascading global economy we are currently trying to patch together. The FOREX rigging, for those who are unfamiliar, the FOREX is the trading platform for currencies on a global scale. Companies and nations come together to trade currencies in this one arena, similar to trading stock. This has been found to be rigged by the too-big-to-jail banksters. These three crimes against humanity have enslaved people the world over. The rigging of LIBOR and the FOREX markets has created this nightmare that awakening from seems impossible. These crimes against humanity are going to break the global system. Please listen to what Rob Kirby had to say about the entire system being broken and where it is leading. What actions have you taken to protect your family? Today would be a great day to start or to ramp up your efforts. Whatever it takes is what you need to be doing, right now. If you havent listened to the interview conducted with Andrew Hoffman, please listen to it as well. The alarm has been sounded and we are, I believe, in the final stages. Catherine Austin-Fitts may be right about the slow burn, but the slow burn began in 1913 and has been burning ever since. Can the fuse be much longer?

3	N.J. Wants to Outsource Radioactive Garbage to South CarolinaBrandon Turbeville The waste at issue would be coming from a housing site in Sayreville, New Jersey that is currently being redeveloped and cleaned up for future purposes. The soil was originally recovered from an industrial cleanup site by the Raritan River, located south of New York City. While it is claimed that the majority of the dirt contains natural radiation, SC regulators claim that radiation has been technically enhanced and has become more concentrated while at the site in New Jersey. This would, of course, cause the material to become more radioactive. Yet Sayreville Seaport Associates, the company currently housing the contaminated soil, is still determined to outsource its own radioactive garbage to the Lee County, South Carolina dump that sits off of Interstate 20. Unfortunately for Sayreville, the Lee County garbage dump, which is operated by Republic Services, is not designed for radioactive industrial waste it is only designed to hold household garbage. Indeed, even the household garbage that it currently holds has become somewhat of a local issue regarding the overwhelming smell caused by the landfill. With that in mind, it is fortunate that some South Carolina environmentalists and some state lawmakers are opposing the new dumping effort. Disposing of out-of-state waste, particularly toxic waste, has for years been a sore spot among Palmetto State residents. The state at one point was home to a national nuclear waste landfill in Barnwell County, a regional hazardous waste dump at Lake Marion, hazardous waste incinerators in the Upstate and a medical waste incinerator outside Hampton. Many of those facilities have closed or ramped down operations since the 1990s, but big garbage dumps remain an issues. Still, according to Fretwells article, records show that Republic was initially supportive of receiving the waste, and the Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) even approved the disposal last year. However, DHEC soon changed its mind and stated that the dirt was too radioactive to be placed in the Lee County dump. Fretwell writes that DHEC then changed its mind once again, stating that the dirt was not too radioactive but that it did need to be handled with extra safety precautions and should not be allowed to sit for a long period of time. Sayreville Seaport has appealed the decision made by DHEC, arguing that the agency is violating a federal law that prevents one state from keeping another states waste disposal out of its borders. Fretwell writes that Sayrevilles appeal claims DHECs decision is considered a violation of the federal commerce clause. However, while it is unclear if Sayrevilles appeal will be successful, Repbulic Services has stated that the Lee County landfill will not accept these soils, even if Sayreville wins the legal battle. Jamey Amick, a Republic executive told The State newspaper, They [Sayreville Seaport] are trying to relax the guidelines enough where you could get Republic to huddle back up and say, OK, yeah, we think we might can do that. He went on to say that Republic will not accept this material under the current stipulations DHEC has asked us to modify. Of course, to those who have any modicum of understanding of how interactions and agreements work between corporations and government agencies, Amicks statement under the current stipulations DHEC has asked us to modify sounds anything but reassuring. However, this writer was able to obtain an official statement from a media spokesperson at Republic which reads, Lee County Landfill, LLC (LCL), the owner and operator of the Lee County Landfill near Bishopville, South Carolina will not accept these soils at the Landfill. LCL is not associated with Sayrevilles effort to gain DHEC approval for disposal of the soils in South Carolina. Due to the extremely low levels of radioactive constituents, it is our understanding that the soils are not harmful to human health or the environment. Thus, one must hope that this claim is not merely another corporation leaving itself an out; while, at the same time, making backroom deals to accept the soils. Interestingly enough, as Fretwell reports: South Carolina has a low-level nuclear waste dump near Barnwell that is available to New Jerseys radioactive waste, but atomic waste experts have said it is cheaper to dispose of material in a garbage landfill. Burying the waste in South Carolina also would be cheaper than disposing of it in some Northeastern states, where dumping fees can be twice as high. Obviously its cheaper to dump the dirt in a landfill designed for household garbage than it is to properly dispose of it in a facility designed to handle radioactive waste.Its even cheaper to dump it right where you got it from to begin with. However, this issue is about the effect on the environment and the health of those who live near the waste not what is more convenient or cost effective for a corporation. Indeed, there is also little doubt that dumping the dirt in the Northeastern states would bring much higher costs than it would in South Carolina. However, South Carolina didnt make the waste. Is it the fault of South Carolina that the disposal of waste created by companies located in the Northeastern states actually costs more in the Northeastern states? If so, then it seems we are setting a very disturbing trend for South Carolina and other states to become the dumping grounds of the more populated and heavily taxed Northeastern part of the country. This entire issue, however, only serves to illustrate an even larger concern which is that waste management has become an entirely privatized service that has been left in the hands of for-profit companies that care only about the bottom line not providing services; and certainly not about the health and well-being of the environment and the people that might suffer as a result of their decisions. The truth is that the entire system of waste management in the United States is wholly unsustainable. Producing materials that are not biodegradable, or that have a life of radioactivity measuring in the billions of years cannot continue to be buried in a hole in the ground and forgotten about. As I wrote in my book, Five Sense Solutions, the United States urgently needs a Manhattan Project-scale effort to discover new and affordable ways of recycling all forms of waste, be it household or radioactive; and a program implemented to make sure that recycling takes place. Of course, this program should be conducted without the help of trash can spies or garbage police; and it should also be implemented as a public service not a private asset-stripping operation. Ultimately, even waste that has been buried in the past should become a candidate for recycling. Digging a hole for collective refuse has never been a successful means of waste disposal in human history digging bigger ones will not change that fact.

1	In an effort to streamline and better coordinate anti-terrorism efforts, the Department of Homeland Security announced Friday that it had established a designated 'safe zone' within which members of al-Qaeda can carry out attacks on American soil without hurting anyone. 'We've cordoned off 80 acres of Kansas pasture and created a simulated environment in which those harboring a deadly grudge against our nation can destroy virtual marketplaces, transportation hubs, and even a miniature cityscape complete with a replica U.S. Capitol and Golden Gate Bridge,' said Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, confirming the facility was equipped with enough airplanes for the terrorists to 'climb around in, hijack, and blow up as much as they like.' 'We also made sure to include plenty of animatronic Iraqi police recruits, since we realize most victims of terrorism these days aren't actually Americans.' At press time, 56 were reported dead and 174 injured in a series of coordinated attacks in and around Baghdad. 
1	Cystic-fibrosis foundation A Dream To Breathe, which has refused to accept more than $250,000 in donations since 2001, announced Monday that it was continuing to make strides in fighting the rare respiratory disorder without any handouts from 'self-righteous do-gooders.' Vandercamp has been 'embarrassed' by all the support. 'In the past three months alone, thousands of people from all across the country have come out and asked us to take their money, insisting that we need it more than they do,' said Development Director Joan Vandercamp in an urgent plea to Americans to take their pity elsewhere. 'To you and countless others, we can only say: Who do we look like? The Salvation Army?' 'When we need your help wiping this degenerative disorder that affects 30,000 Americans off the face of the earth, we'll let you know, okay?' she added. According to Vandercamp, who described her foundation as an independent organization determined to make a difference in the lives of those with cystic fibrosis and not 'some pathetic charity case,' A Dream To Breathe is perfectly capable of finding a cure for the deadly genetic disease that strikes the lungs and pancreas without anyone else's aid. 'Not that it's any of your concern, but we've been raising plenty of awareness on our own, thank you very much, and we'd really like to keep it that way,' said Vandercamp, who added that her foundation already had its hands full identifying the defective protein-producing gene earlier in victims of the disease without others trying to get involved. 'We may not be the biggest or the most successful organization of our kind, but we have dignity, and I'll be damned if we let your patronizing donations change that.' Last year, A Dream To Breathe qualified for increased federal funding, but cited its special status as a 'fully functional nonprofit organization' as its reason for rejecting the extra money, claiming to have never applied for it in the first place. The foundation then leveled criticism at individuals, whose small donations the organization calls 'infuriating.' 'There are so many ways you think you can make a difference, but we're telling you right now, please don't,' said Special Projects Director Tina Diaz. 'After all, we didn't found the A Dream To Breathe Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to be your own little personal causewe founded it to end cystic fibrosis.' 'Why can't you respect the fact that this is between us and the thousands of helpless individuals suffering from this ailment?' she added, saying that she just wants people to look at how much they spend each day on coffee or other unnecessary items, continue spending that amount, and mind their own business. Other members of the organization said they have had to endure guilt-ridden calls from those wanting to volunteer, and claimed they were irritated by the 'shameless show of support' from community groups. As a result, the organization has decided not to hold its annual Great Strides Walk For A Cure this year. 'I can't tell you how it felt last fall to see people from all walks of life show up, decked out in their gaudy 'A Dream To Breathe' T-shirts, making this huge deal about playing some part in the search for a cure,' said Operations Coordinator Janet Sturges, who added that she never tells people she works for the foundation for fear of being inundated with offers to help. 'The whole thing was almost as humiliating as the time that complete stranger shoved an oversized $25,000 check in my face, right in the middle of a gala fundraiser.' Vandercamp, who said she was 'exhausted' by the endless donation requests, claimed that she would rather see scores of cystic-fibrosis sufferers drown in their own lung mucus than have to accept any more patronage. 'If you think it's so important to raise millions of dollars to fund the research necessary to combat this deadly killer, maybe you should go out and start your own foundation,' Vandercamp said. 
1	Recent reports surfacing from within the Kelloggs corporation suggest that the baked goods companys marketing department labors under the apparent belief that the Keebler Elves are a beloved fixture in American popular culture. Look, America loves, has always loved, and will always love Ernie Keebler, Fryer Tuck, Zoot, and the rest of the Keebler Elves, and so we have a responsibilityand I believe it is a sacred responsibilityto create marketing materials that appropriately honor and respect these deeply cherished characters, said Kelloggs Senior Vice President of Customer Marketing Darcey Macken, adding that for over 45 years the characters have been a mainstay of the American experience, as recognized and as treasured nationwide as apple pie, baseball, and Mickey Mouse. And it is precisely because the Elves are such iconic figures that we must carefully vet each scenario we place them in to maintain continuity and, more importantly, to ensure that we are remaining faithful to the original, singularly winning personas that captured the countrys hearts and minds so many years ago. A love for the Elves is one of the first things Americans pass on to their children, and so for us it should be far less a burden than a great honor to preserve that legacy. At press time, the Kelloggs marketing department was drafting a request to the U.S. Postal Service to create a commemorative stamp featuring the Keebler Elves in front of their Hollow Tree Factory.

The young man, Gabriel Gaeta, was a close family friend of the Wrights, and had been openly invited into their home numerous times. Little did the family know, Gaeta would soon be charged with first-degree murder and first-degree rape of the young girl. Because of the extreme nature of the case, many believe that Gaeta will be charged as an adult for his crimes. According to reports, the girls body was found in a bog near her home in Washington. Gaeta had the nerve to attend the vigil held for the little girl shortly before her arrest. He was taken into custody after a DNA sample test produced a match. What do you think?

I can only imagine how many obscene comments and explicit threats the average woman must receive from guys on here each dayhow can they even begin to tell any of us apart? said Browning, admitting that his requests for nude photos and the uninvited pictures of his genitals that he sends are likely no different from the dozens of other vulgar sexual solicitations filling female users inboxes. Im beginning to think that every time I say to a woman Whats your fucking problem? or Suit yourself, bitch after she doesnt respond right away, my notes are just blending in with all the messages from other guys telling her shes a dumb slut and should kill herself. But it seems like theres only so many different ways you can let a complete stranger know shes not really that cute and is lucky to even be talking to you. Browning added that, in an effort to stand out from his peers, hes considering putting in the extra effort of badgering his matches on Facebook after theyve blocked him on the app. 
1	According to an alarming new report published Wednesday by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement, third-graders in China are beginning to lag behind U.S. high school students in math and science. The study, based on exam scores from thousands of students in 63 participating countries, confirmed that in mathematical and scientific literacy, American students from the ages of 14 to 18 have now actually pulled slightly ahead of their 8-year-old Chinese counterparts. This is certainly a wake-up call for China, said Dr. Michael Fornasier, an IEA senior fellow and coauthor of the report. The test results unfortunately indicate that education standards in China have slipped to the extent that pre-teens are struggling to rank among even the average American high school student. Simply put, how can these third-graders be expected to eventually compete in the global marketplace if theyre only receiving the equivalent of a U.S. high school education? Fornasier added. Fornasier stressed that while the gap is not yet dramatically sizable, it has widened over the past two years after American high schoolers tested marginally higher in algebra, biology, and chemistry than, shockingly, most of Chinas 8- and 9-year-olds. For decades, young children in China have scored at the expected level of their peers in American high schools, so this is a very worrying drop in performance, said Fornasier, adding that the majority of Chinese third-graders are now a full year behind the average U.S. 12th-grader in their knowledge of calculus. In the chemistry portion of the exam, for example, Chinese children proved to be slightly deficient compared to American teenagers in their understanding of the periodic table, molecular structure, and the essential principles of atomic theory. And even when they did test at the same level in mathematics, it often took Chinese elementary school students 10 to 15 minutes longer to do simple things like factor a polynomial equation or compute the derivative of a continuous function, Fornasier added. That just isnt normal. In addition to disappointing marks from grade school children in China, 10-year-olds in Germany, South Korea, Japan, Switzerland, and New Guinea also reportedly tested an average of three percentage points lower than U.S. high school seniors in physics, with education officials from each country expressing deep concerns about the increasingly mediocre quality of their primary schools. In light of the alarming study, many in China have called for considerable reforms of the countrys education system, including implementing far stricter standards for teachers, investing in better learning materials, and increasing the length of school days. Our third grade classes clearly cannot afford to lag behind American high schools if they are to be successful in the future, read an official statement from Chinas Minister of Education, Yuan Guiren. Frankly, the scores are unacceptable, and we have to turn this around immediately. If theres an American 17-year-old who can do something academically that a Chinese 8-year-old cant, thats a very big problem. At that rate, how do we expect our Chinese 13-year-olds to be ready for American colleges? Yuan continued. 
1	While attempting to isolate a gene believed to be key to the development of the autoimmune disorder myasthenia gravis Monday, MIT geneticists Dr. Stephen Eng and Dr. Caryn Sohn made a breakthrough discovery: each other. 'I was examining some cellular tissue when my electron microscope broke,' Eng said. 'Caryn offered to share her microscope, and each of us looked at the tissue through one of the eyepieces. At one point, our cheeks lightly touched, and I looked over and realized how beautiful she looks without her glasses.' Sohn felt a similar rush of emotion, saying, 'I always saw Stephen as a respected colleague and a dedicated scientist. But that afternoon, for the first time, I saw him as a man.' A process of trial-and-error sexual experimentation commenced later that evening, continuing well into the night. 
3	Another Dubious Jobs ReportPaul Craig Roberts In other words, the unemployment rate dropped because the labor force shrunk. If the economy was in recovery, the labor force would be growing and the labor force participation rate would be rising. The 295,000 claimed new jobs are highly suspect. For example, the report claims 32,000 new retail jobs, but the Census Bureau reports that retail sales declined in December and January. Why would retailers experiencing declining sales hire more employees? Construction spending declined 1.1% in January, but the payroll jobs report says 29,000 construction jobs were added in February. Zero Hedge reports that the decline in the oil price has resulted in almost 40,000 laid off workers during January and February, but the payroll jobs report only finds 2,900 lost jobs in oil for the two months. There is no sign in the payroll jobs report of the large lay-offs by IBM and Hewlett Packard. These and other inconsistencies do not inspire confidence. By ignoring the inconsistencies the financial press does not inspire confidence. Lets now look at where the BLS says the payroll jobs are. All of the goods producing jobs are accounted for by the 29,000 claimed construction jobs. The remaining 259,000 new jobs90%of the totalare service sector jobs. Three categories account for 70% of these jobs. Wholesale and retail trade, transportation and utilities account. for 62,000 of the jobs. Education and health services account for 54,000 of which ambulatory health care services accounts for 19,900. Leisure and hospitality account for 66,000 jobs of which waitresses and bartenders account for 58,700 jobs. These are the domestic service jobs of a third world country. John Williams (shadowstats.com) reports: As of February, the level of full-time employment still was 1.0 million shy of its pre-recession peak.

1	Nobel Peace Prize winner and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel said in an interview Monday that he recently revisited his debut work, Night, nearly 50 years after its publication and was absolutely horrified at the amateurish quality of the memoir. &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;img src=http://onionimg.local/3419/original/600.jpg&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; Why didnt my editor do something? Elie Wiesel, author It was painful to read, Wiesel said of the story of his journey from his childhood home to the Nazi death camp Auschwitz. I know every great author says they hate their first book, but frankly, Im embarrassed this ever made it into print. The sentence structure is artless, the plot is repetitive at bestand the constant mentioning of how I felt abandoned by God? What was the point of all that? Wiesel said that, although Night is not his only work that deals with his personal experience of the Holocaust, it is by far his most humiliating. I got so wrapped up in what I was writing, I couldnt separate myself from the subject matter, said Wiesel, adding that the eight-page account of the train ride from Gleiwitz to Buchenwald could have been trimmed down considerably to focus on the essential events. I just assumed everything about my life was so fascinating, people would want to read about it. I was so nave. Wiesel went on to criticize Night for lacking the subtlety of his later writings, claiming the use of foreshadowing was predictable and the description of the harrowing gas chamber selection process felt clichdlike bad daytime TV melodrama. &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;img src=http://onionimg.local/3420/original/600.jpg&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; I simply seized on this dehumanizing people through starvation and fear angle and beat it into the ground, said Wiesel, who has learned over the years to show, not tell in his writing. Rereading it now is absolute hell. The author also spoke harshly of Nights publisher, Arthur Wang, who encouraged Wiesel to write the book nearly 10 years after he was liberated from the concentration camps. He said Wang kept pressuring him to publish the story, while ignoring the inherent horror in Wiesels prose. [Wang] didnt even have the decency to tell me my writing was completely self- absorbed, Wiesel said. He should have stopped this book before it got out of hand. Somebody, anybody should have intervened before it was too late. Night was a recent Oprahs Book Club selection, selling more than a million copies in only a few months. It returned to the No. 1 spot on The New York Times best-seller list, introducing a whole new generation of readers to what Wiesel calls shoddily written, college workshop garbage. Despite initially agreeing to the Oprah deal, Wiesel has told reporters he now regrets not revising the manuscript before its new publication. I would have at least liked to put in an interesting dream sequence, and extend this part here where my dying father calls out my name with his final breath, said Wiesel, holding a heavily annotated paperback copy of the memoir. I cant believe another million people are going to read this atrocity. Were just repeating the same terrible mistakes of the past. Added Wiesel, God, I wish I were dead. Although he told interviewers his embarrassment over the memoir will continue to haunt him during every waking hour, Wiesel hopes that those who have already read his book will just forget the whole thing ever happened. 
3	Central Banks are the Real Target for Wests Imperial WarsBrandon Turbeville Ever since the invasion of Afghanistan eleven years ago, a small but increasing number of brave journalists, researchers, and activists have been decrying the real reasons for the destruction of entire nations and the tragic loss of life imposed by the hands of NATO and other Anglo-American forces such as the puppet regimes located in the same regions as the target countries. Among these vassal states are the remnants of feudal monarchies like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and others. In the years since the first post-9/11 invasion, real reasons have abounded regarding the various countries provided with democracy by the United States. These reasons include vast oil reserves, oil pipelines,[1] opium fields, strategic positioning, no-bid contracts for the defense industry and military-industrial complex, and mineral deposits. All of these suggestions are both completely valid and accurate. Yet, as mentioned above, there is rarely only one reason for such an undertaking of military force. It is true that both debt and the control of currency is one of the most effective means of enslaving an entire population without their knowledge. Continually chasing financial freedom with no ability to pay off debt and save for the future ensures that a sizeable majority of the population will not have the means, time, or energy to resist the totalitarian methods imposed upon them. Likewise, it is true that by controlling a nations currency, one essentially controls the nation. Governments who are beholden to third parties and private banks for their money are not governments at all they are receiverships existing solely at the pleasure of the controlling oligarchy. As Mayer Amschel Rothschild once stated, Give me control of a nations money supply and I care not who makes its laws. Thus, when one takes a look at the worldwide banking system and, in particular, the amount of countries with government-owned, non-Rothschild affiliated central banks, one easily sees a monopolistic system coming into view. In addition, when one takes a closer look at those countries with government-owned central banks, independent of Rothschild and major financier control, it becomes even clearer that maintaining a government-mandated structure of currency and central banking places a nation on a very dangerous list. After the beginning of the New Century, which truly began in 2001, nations maintaining some modicum of independence from the Rothschild private central banking cartel have been dealt with in short and brutal fashion. In 2003 and 2004, after much of the country had been thoroughly secured for the establishment of institutions recognized by the invaders as vital, various banking laws and regulations were put into place. Perhaps the most important was the February 2004 law known as the DAB, or Law of Da Afghanistan Bank. The DAB established the authority of the new Afghanistan Central Bank, Da Afghanistan Bank, to regulate and supervise all other banks within the country, as well as having control over monetary policy. In conjunction with the DAB, the September 2003 Banking Law also established the ability of Da Afghanistan Bank to regulate and monitor commercial banks operating inside Afghanistan, and was the original piece of legislation that authorized commercial banks to operate inside the country to begin with. Shortly thereafter, in a nation where private and state banking was both ineffective and scarce, the IMF states that the banking industry grew rapidly after the Taliban was deposed. According to the IMFs own statistics, by 2008, banking assets were clearly flowing up to a relatively few large private banks who were amassing most of the banking business amongst themselves. The IMF report states, As of March 2008, the two largest domestic private banks accounted for almost 50 percent of total banking system assets. The combined loans of these two banks were 70 percent of total commercial bank lending. Obviously, Afghanistan has seen a trend of centralization and upward mobility of assets to the largest private institutions swooping down upon the war-torn nation. What is more striking, however, is the fact that Da Afghanistan Bank, the central bank of Afghanistan, is responsible for setting the monetary policy of Afghanistan. This is key because it would seem that the Afghanistan governmentshould bein control of monetary policy not a bank independent of government control or oversight. One need only take a look at the Da Afghanistan Bank official website in order to see how the same private central banking scheme has been implemented in Afghanistan. Under the section entitled, Basic Tasks of DAB, the bank states that its duties are to formulate, adopt and execute the monetary policy of Afghanistan. Nowhere is there mention of oversight by the Afghan government. The Law of Da Afghanistan bank, which was mentioned earlier, explicitly states that the responsibilities of the Afghan central bank are to formulate and adopt the monetary policy of Afghanistan, including the open market operations by Da Afghanistan Bank, the interest rates for discounts and loans by Da Afghanistan Bank, and the types and levels of reserves that banks are required to maintain with Da Afghanistan Bank. (It should be noted that these responsibilities are presented as those of the Supreme Council, the Governing Board of Da Afghanistan Bank, along with the Comptroller General.) Furthermore, it is the job of the bank to Print and issue Afghani banknotes and coins, another clear responsibility of any government that is to remain independent of the control of private bankers. In addition, it is a stated goal of the central bank to Act as banker and adviser to, and as fiscal agent of the State. The implication here is that the central bank, while often accommodating the State, is not subservient to it, nor is it bound by any control of the Afghan government. By acting as the banker of the State, it is also safe to assume that loans made to it are not of the interest-free variety it is much more likely that the central bank functions exactly as the US Federal Reserve, meaning that it is both independent of government control, responsible for the issuance of currency, and approves loans at interest to a government entirely capable of doing all of the above at virtually no cost. Iraq Iraq is yet another case where private central banking could be argued as a major factor in the decision to invade. It is also another example of poorly executed central banking prior to that invasion. In all fairness, however, it should be noted that Iraq has only enjoyed a sliver of opportunity with which to experience growth since its inception. After becoming independent of British colonial rule, the country was forced to mop up the mess left behind by the imperialists including falsely constructed borders, civil unrest, and corruption, among many other issues. Still, by the 1970s, Iraq was improving its economic lot, as well as its education system. Improvements were such that when Saddam Hussein officially assumed power, Iraq had earned itself the designation of developing nation. Shortly thereafter, Hussein nationalized Iraqi oil companies and put the state-owned banks under his own direct control. After the Iraq-Iran war of the 1980s, the Gulf War, and the decade of merciless UN sanctions, however, Iraq had lost virtually all of its economic gains. The Iraq-Iran war itself depleted many of Iraqs reserves, while the Gulf War further damaged the state of the nation. Because UN sanctions forced Iraq to move to their own currency printing machines that were greatly inferior to those of the nations being previously used, the Iraqi currency became subject to increased levels of counterfeiting, thus, compounding the problem. However, although Hussein had assumed direct control of the semi-central banking system, the fact remained that the banking system was not privatized. Indeed, there were very few private banks operating in Iraq up until the point of the US invasion in 2003. From the very beginning of the invasion, it was clear that forming a privatized central bank for Iraq was a major goal of the United States and its coalition of the willing. As The Economist reports, Rehousing the central bank is one thing. Rebuilding an entire banking system is quite another. Despite the focus on military and political matters, the task has been surprisingly high on the American-led coalitions to-do list: even before George Bush declared that major combat operations have ended in May 2003, American advisers were preparing in neighbouring Kuwait. The job is all the more formidable because under Saddam Hussein Iraq had no independent banks to speak of. From the CBI to the lending policies of the six state-owned institutions that controlled most bank assets, the system was under Mr Husseins thumb. [Emphasis added] Yet rebuilding the banking system is exactly what the invaders did. Of course, the new system unveiled to the Iraqi people was slightly different from what they had lived under for so long. There was no more Saddam Hussein to dictate monetary policy at his whim, and no more state control over banks. Instead, the free market would take the place of the former central banking system. The term free, however, is a misnomer when referring to the Iraqi Central Bank. This is because the new Central Bank of Iraq, now known as the Trade Bank of Iraq, was completely restructured and privatized as early as 2003. Slightly more obvious than the privatization of the Afghanistan banks, it was openly announced that none other than J.P. Morgan was chosen by the Coalition Provisional Authority to set up the new bank. As Rob Kirby of Market Oracle wrote in 2008, In the energy area [crude] J.P. Morgan was granted the rights to, effectively, set up the Central Bank of Iraq in Dec. 2003: J.P. Morgan Chase was chosen by the Coalition Provisional Authority [CPA] to set up the NEW Central Bank of Iraq [specifically, the Trade Bank of Iraq ]. Take note how this TRADE BANK only became operational in December of 2003: Trade Finance. The Trade Bank of Iraq (TBI) was established in July 2003 to facilitate trade of goods and services to and from Iraq by providing irrevocable letters of credit. The TBI officially became fully operational in December 2003 and has a services contract with a multi-international banking consortium led by JP Morgan Chase. Since opening in December , the Trade Bank of Iraq has issued or has pending 183 letters of credit, totaling $708.9 million in imports from thirty-one countries. Letters of credit have been issued on behalf of Iraqi Ministries as well as several state-owned enterprises. In that capacity, Morgan was charged with developing the framework of collateralizing movable and immovable property for the nation of Iraq. The fact is that one of the largest derivatives facilitators in the world is one the principal architects of the Trade Bank of Iraq, plus it is also well-known that J.P. Morgan has a direct connection[3] to the Rothschild banking dynasty;[4] a trend that is to be seen in virtually every central and major bank in existence across the planet. Libya Yet, if developing an Iraqi central bank before the bombs finished dropping seems a bit premature, consider the case of Libya and the NATO-backed Libyan terrorists who announced the creation of a new central bank of Libya before foreign forces ever became involved. Libya, of course, is an example of a much more successful model of government-run central banking. Regardless of Ghaddaffis individual and personal crimes or his iron-fisted nature, it cannot be denied that the living standards of the Libyan people were far above that of any nation in Africa. Even the regimes penchant for cruelty seems to have shown signs of fading in recent years. After all, even as the assault on Libya began taking form, the UN Human Rights Council was set to praise Ghadaffi on the improvement made to the legal protections afforded its citizens such as bettering its constitutional framework and making human rights a priority. Left to its own devices the Libyan regime had managed to take a country mainly made up of desert and warring tribal factions and form a cohesive nation-state which afforded its people with comforts not seen inside the borders of world leaders like the United States and Britain. For instance, in a letter written by a delegation of Russian, Ukranian, and Belarusian doctors working in Libya to then-Russian President Dimitri Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladmir Putin, stated; During this time, we became well acquainted with the life of the Libyan people and state with few citizens of other nations living in this social comfort, as the Libyans. They are entitled to free treatment, and their hospitals provide the best in the world of medical equipment. Education in Libya is free, capable young people have the opportunity to study abroad at government expense. When marrying, young couples receive 60,000 Libyan dinars (about 50,000 U.S. dollars) of financial assistance. Non-interest state loans, and as practice shows, undated. Due to government subsidies the price of cars is much lower than in Europe, and they are affordable for every family. Gasoline and bread cost a penny, no taxes for those who are engaged in agriculture. Regardless of ones feelings about the policies mentioned by the European doctors, Ghadaffis Libya also achieved some of the most impressive and unprecedented environmental and economic feats in the modern world. As Ellen Brown of the Asia Times writes, Even if that [European doctors letter] is just propaganda, there is no denying at least one very popular achievement of the Libyan government: it brought water to the desert by building the largest and most expensive irrigation project in history, the US$33 billion GMMR (Great Man-Made River) project. Even more than oil, water is crucial to life in Libya. The GMMR provides 70% of the population with water for drinking and irrigation, pumping it from Libyas vast underground Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System in the south to populated coastal areas 4,000 kilometers to the north. The Libyan government has done at least some things right. This entire expedition was made possible by the fact that Libya maintained a central bank that was completely state-owned. Prior to the success of the peaceful Libyan protesters (some proved to be al-Qaeda extremists) with the help of the United States, France, and the rest of NATO, Libya created its own money, the Dinar, through its central bank. Unlike free nations such as the United States, which has farmed out its Constitutional responsibility to private banks, the Libyan issuance of currency was an entirely government-based affair. In addition, according to Patrick Henningsen of Market Oracle on March 28, 2011, Libya also holds more bullion as a proportion of gross domestic product than any country except Lebanon, according to the London-based World Gold Council using January data from the International Monetary Fund. In fact, Ghaddafi was working toward backing the Dinar with the countrys vast gold bars, thus posing a big threat to the world of fractional reserve fiat bankers. All of these advancements were thrown away and destroyed with the NATO-backed assault on Libya and the subsequent murder of Ghaddaffi. What did emerge, however, was the new Libyan central bank. Announced relatively early on in the destabilization campaign, the Transitional National Council declared the Central Bank of Benghazi as a monetary authority competent in monetary policies in Libya and the appointment of a governor to the Central Bank of Libya, with a temporary headquarters in Benghazi. It is also noteworthy to mention that immediately after the official creation of the new bank, the newborn institution actually signed an oil deal with Qatar, an Anglo-American client state and brother-in-arms of brutality. Geopolitics aside, the very description of the new Libyan Central bank, the Central Bank of Benghazi, leans toward the fact that the new bank is the opposite of the old one meaning, the new bank is private. Furthermore, the new bank is not beholden to the Libyan government (where one exists or may exist in the future) but operates independently as a monetary authority competent in monetary policies in Libya. With the appointment of a governor to the already-established Central Bank of Libya, the control of the independent private bank is thus exerted upon the assets which rightfully belong to the Libyan people. Unfortunately, as of yet, the owners of the new Central Bank of Benghazi have not been made public with an official announcement. However, given the trend and given the recent developments in Libya, one can feel safe in making certain assumptions regarding the nature of the bank. Sudan All in all, the destabilization of Libya was much more up front and open than the campaign against Sudan in the latter years of the Bush administration and continuing through the Obama administration. This might be partially due to the fact that Ghadaffi was better able to mount a defense against the forces of death squads, hordes of al-Qaeda terrorists, and NATO bombing campaigns than the teetering government of Sudan. Nevertheless, the end result was essentially the same. With the inclusion of geopolitical concerns, the Sudanese breakup seems to be a perfect example of Zbigniew Brzezinskis vision of microstates and ministates[5] who are unable to resist the demands of the worlds major powers. With South Sudan now a separate and officially recognized country, the ability to cut off the oil supply to Sudan as punishment for refusing American directives is now a realistic option. South Sudan is, in fact, the region of Sudan (as it was originally demarcated) that houses the majority of Sudanese oil. The fact that the US is involved in destabilizing both South Sudan and Sudan is not a heavily debated claim. As Thomas C. Mountain wrote in his article, The US Plan to Destabilize Sudan, it is the United States which pays the bills for the Sudan Peoples Liberation Army (the South Sudanese national army). Furthermore, the UN, under the cover of peacekeeping missions is flooding South Sudan with Ethiopian peacekeepers who are quite obviously serving the interests of the Anglo-Americans. The interesting difference in this case, however, is the fact that Sudan appears to have maintained a private central bank of its own throughout the Sudanese civil war. Indeed, Warren Coats, the Senior Policy Advisor to the Bank of Southern Sudan in 2007, wrote in his report, A Monetary Policy Framework For Sudan, that the current policy of the Central Bank of Sudan was the control of the money supply. Coats states; The next section of this paper presents a framework for control of the money supply by a central bank operating in, or wishing to promote, a market economy and adopting a market-determined exchange rate. This is more or less the policy regime adopted by the Central Bank of Sudan (CBOS). For such a central bank, monetary control needs to be based on its control of the total of the quantity of currency held by the public and by banks, plus bank deposits with the central bank (base money), and its influence over the creation of deposits in banks in relation to their reserves. [Emphasis added] However, as one of the first orders of business after South Sudan seceded from Sudan and was officially recognized by the UN, a private central bank was established. In fact, the South Sudanese Constitution itself provides for the creation of such an institution. After reading the South Sudanese Constitution as it existed in 2011, there is very little question as to whether or not the central bank is private. The document states that the central bank will be called the The Bank of South Sudan and that it will be an independent corporate legal entity. The Constitution goes on to state that the bank will be responsible for, among other things, formulation, conduct, and implementation of monetary policy and the issuance of currency. The bank has the exclusive right to issue a currency and has an organizational structure very similar to the US Federal Reserve with a Governor and Board of Directors appointed by the President. Future and Current Targets With all of the lives lost, military action taken, and money spent, if central banking is, in fact, one of the main reasons for such operations it would do well for us to take a brief look at those nations which currently exist without the curse of international private central banks. This should be done in an attempt to connect the dots and predict future military or intelligence acts of aggression. While it would be impossible to provide a comprehensive study on the status of the banking system of every country in the world, the relevance of private central banks can, at the very least, can be investigated for those nations who are the current targets of American military might. Syria In this case, the most obvious and recent victim of the US/NATO juggernaut is the embattled nation of Syria. So far, the most religiously tolerant nation in the Middle East has been forced to endure NATO-backed death squads and savage terrorists (aka peaceful protestors as defined by the Western media), Western sanctions, direct aid to the destabilizing agents by NATO forces, covert operations by British and American intelligence agencies as well as French special forces inside Syria, and now the growing potential for direct NATO military action. Coincidentally, Syria is one of the last nations left in the world that maintains a government-owned central bank. This fact has been the cause of some consternation from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In fact, in 2006, the IMF actually published its annual Article IV Consultation Report regarding Syrias economic developments. Among the recommendations made by the IMF in the report were suggestions of changes to the Syrian banking system. The report reads: Progress toward this medium-term goal should start by having the central bank gain full control of existing direct instruments. The central bank should have the right to decide on credit ceilings and credit policies of banks with a view to ensuring a pace of credit and monetary expansion consistent with maintaining price stability while fostering economic activity and employment. Banks have to abide by all prudential regulations. Beyond this, the role and responsibilities of the central bank and the ministry of finance in exercising oversight on the banks should be clearly defined. While the government could play a lead role in choosing the board and the management of public banks, the CBS should have the authority to evaluate and approve banks policies, and procedures related to the credit and investment. Clearly, if these are the responsibilities the IMF believes the Syrian Central Bank should have, then it logically follows that they are responsibilities it does not have currently. All in all, the Syrian banking system largely consists of four state-owned banks and fourteen private banks, mostly foreign banks providing services to the private sector inside Syria. For at least forty years, the state itself has maintained a total monopoly on the Syrian banking system. Even when that total monopoly was broken, it was not in the form of the privatization of the central bank, it was merely allowing private banks to operate commercially inside the country at all. Iran Nevertheless, while Syria is the most immediate target of the NATO war machine, it only wins that distinction by a thin margin. Iran, even in some mainstream outlets, remains a close second. Indeed, in most educated circles it is understood that Syria is merely a stepping stone to the larger goal of an invasion of Iran. How interesting, then, that Iran also maintains a government-owned central bank. One need only to read The Monetary and Banking Law of Iran to understand the fact that, like the authority granted solely to Congress over coining and issuing currency in the United States Constitution, the Iranian government is the only institution with the authority to issue Iranian currency. In direct language, it reads, The Government is the sole authority having the right of issuing notes and coins and this right is hereby vested exclusively in Bank Markazi Iran Subject to the provisions of this Act. [Emphasis Added] Although neither Iran nor Syria are showmans samples of successful central banking, it must be kept in mind that these nations have been forced to endure regional and domestic destabilization, warfare, and continuous economic sanctions for an extended period of time. Unlike the United States and Canada, neither Syria nor Iran are graced with the presence of diverse natural resources and industrial options. Cuba Likewise, Cuba, which has managed to stay outside the scrutiny of the mainstream media propaganda efforts in recent years, also maintains a 100% state-owned central bank. Yet, even though the Cuba card has yet to be played in recent Anglo-American endeavors, the tiny nation remains designated as dangerous threat to the United States and democracy the world over. Indeed, it is safe to say that Cubas Castro regime has not faded from the radar screen of the Rothschild banking dynasty or the enforcement arm of that dynasty known as NATO and the United States. North Korea Lastly, it is interesting to note that the model totalitarian state for the world under the coming global system, North Korea, lacks in only one thing a private central bank. Another example of central banking opportunities squandered by selfish psychopaths like Kim Jong Un and Kim Jong Il, the fact is that while the society as a whole matches the blueprint created for the rest of the world many years ago, North Korea still represents the lack of total domination by the private banking cartel which control the overwhelming majority of finance and industrial sources. Thus, North Korea retains its place firmly on the list of governments that will be overthrown, replaced, and erased from the history books, as the New World Order is gradually implemented throughout the entire planet. Conclusion As stated at the beginning of this article, when one discusses the reasons for military action, invasion, and occupation from the point of the view of the globalists who direct such operations, there is seldom only one reason for any given action. However, when one considers the information presented here, it would be foolish to rule out the motivation of the imposition of private central banking upon the last few holdouts. Indeed, one need only look at recent history and the targets of US/NATO military operations to see a distinct pattern. Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, and Libya were all countries outside the clutches of the international banking cartel, and they are all countries which have been attacked, occupied, and fractured by US/NATO power usually based on fabricated excuses. At the time of this writing, Syria, another country with a state-owned central bank, is likewise being subjected to the Anglo-American onslaught. Although experiencing the political and financial ramifications of even the slightest resistance to global banking interests; Iran, Cuba, and North Korea are only waiting to be checked off the list in both a literal and figurative manner.

White attacking black. Or in the case of Ben Fields, a combination of the two. The media is less inclined to tell the story of an officer being attacked. And they definitely dont want to show what can happen in a classroom when there isnt an officer there to protect students. Now, this video is going viral. Watch it below and tell us what you think.

3	Obama Nominates Former SOPA Lobbyist to Help Lead TPP NegotiationsMaira Sutton As a result, countries like Chile and Canada are standing firm against U.S. proposalsa stance confirmed by the Intellectual Property chapter published by Wikileaks in November. These proposals include provisions that would place greater liabilities on Internet Service Providers, create new tools of censorship, and new restrictions on how users can access and interact with digital content. Instead of allowing other countries to choose their own approaches to copyright, Obamas choice to appoint a prominent supporter of the spectacularly failed SOPA bill indicates the White Houses unwillingness to let up on its extreme stance on copyright enforcement. The evidence of corporate influence on trade talks doesnt stop there. Recent reports revealed that prominent U.S. trade officials had received millions of dollars in bonuses before they left their corporate jobs to take up their position at the Obama administration. Soon after these revelations, the U.S. Trade Rep Michael Fromanwho received $4 million in bonuses from banking giant CitiGroupintroduced plans to create a new Public Interest Trade Advisory Committee. If this was an attempt to address our criticism of the overwhelming influence of private interests in setting the U.S. trade agenda, it wasat besta half-hearted one. As weve pointed out, fundamental issues underlie this trade advisory system, primarily that members would be gagged from discussing or publicly advocating on the provisions they have seen as a result of serving on this committee. This Washington Post graphic clearly illustrates the current dominating influence of corporate industries in these trade advisory committees. The pattern of most other TPP countries resisting relatively extreme U.S. proposals is becoming more and more common. According to some sources, Japan and the U.S. are so far from agreement on certain agricultural issues that the U.S. Trade Rep suggested to the other countries that they should exclude Japan from the talks entirely. And senior legislators from seven TPP countries demanded more transparency in negotiations, releasing a statement demanding that the text of the agreement be released before it is signed. Even the Malaysian trade minister said publicly that he would not sign the agreement as long as the text remained secret. Meanwhile, Obama and the U.S. Trade Rep faces mounting opposition on the domestic front. Lack of concrete assurance from the trade official that he would be steadfast in his push for environmental protections in TPP has apparently eroded the trust of some House Democrats and powerful liberal supporters. Without solid support from his own political base in the House, it will be almost impossible for Obama to get Fast Track authority. Without Fast Track, its not clear the administration can pass the TPP at all. Beyond the legislature, the White House lacks popular support for its trade agenda. A recent poll showed that a majority of U.S. voters oppose Fast Track and the TPP. The same survey showed that there are marginally more Republicans who oppose Obamas whole trade agenda, despite the fact that there are many more prominent Republicans in Congress who support handing Fast Track authority to Obama. TPPs completion becomes ever more tenuous as resistance to its corporate-driven policies continue to dissolve political support for the deal. Yet Obamas nomination of Holleyman suggests that his administration has no intention of removing the draconian copyright policies out of TPP no matter how unpopular or contentious they may be. It also reflects the greater issue at handthe White House is choosing to heed the demands of Hollywood and other corporate giants and ignore the interests of users. Those of us in the U.S. need to get our Congress members to oppose Fast Track authority and exercise their constitutional authority to ensure that these trade deals respect our digital rights. It would be an assault on our democratic governance to allow our lawmakers to hand over their own mandate to the White House.

'President Arango and his corrupt right-wing regime must fall,' said the pubescent Diaz, whose rebel group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, has been trying to topple the government since the early 1960s. 'This has been my dream ever since 1999, when I was just an 11-year-old child.' Diaz then popped a pimple on his chin and wiped the pus on the barrel of his AK-47. 
2	Miracle Mans Heroic Act For Deployed Soldiers Family Is Going VIRAL In the news, you often see bad things happen. So its good to pay attention to the acts of kindness that good Americans do for one another. This one happened in Pennsylvania, to a woman named Bridget, who was in need of a helping hand. Bridget is a busy mom. She is trying to run a household with two kids, while her husband, Bobby, a soldier, is deployed. Recently, Bridgets furnace broke down. Overwhelmed with the cost of repairs, she contacted Betlyn Heating and Cooling and requested a repairman. The man they sent was Paul. Paul and Bridget began chatting as he was working on the furnace, and she mentioned that it was difficult for her to afford repairs with her husband on deployment. She said it would be difficult to pay, but with Gods help, she could do it. But she was shocked when Paul handed her the receipt for his work. Look at the note he wrote! When Bridget tried to pay him, Paul said that she already had. Tell your husband thank you for his service, Paul said. God bless Paul the repairman, and God bless our troops! If you agree, please SHARE with your friends!

Little did they know the 77-year-old woman would greet them, armed with a shotgun. They were forced to make a retreat out the bathroom window. She grabs the shotgun and goes back to where she hears a noise and finds two individuals inside one of her spare bedrooms, Jefferson County Sheriffs Department Detective Sgt. James Kauzler told reporters. Doris Jackson, the womans 87-year-old neighbor, also told reporters that she had been concerned about increasing crime rates in the neighborhood.

'Considering both [quarterback Phil] Rivers and [running back LaDainian] Tomlinson may be out for the game, we're confident that New England can put at least a grand's worth of points on the Bolts,' Bellagio casino oddsmaker Sam 'Fat Roll' Matusiak said Monday. 'Of course, if one or both of them are healthy, that line could change five or six points, easy. Right now, though, smart money is to either fade our action on that spread for the Pats or just sit on your money.' Matusiak's book is also accepting 'proposition bets' on certain game situations, such as the number of touchdowns the Patriots will score during the first minute. 
1	As a historic blizzard continues to hammer the Midwest, many are finding themselves stranded and without an internet connection, unable to access even the most basic pornography. Protect yourself. Keep Emergency Porn Kits in your home your home, car, and office. While an Emergency Porn Kit wont provide you with the endless variants of hardcore sex youre used to, it will be enough to save you from going through a disaster entirely pornless. Constructing Your Own Emergency Porn Kit Step One: Find a sturdy box large enough to hold several print magazines in addition to anal plugs and vibrators. Note: Vibrators should be battery operated. Check battery life every six months. Step Two: Purchase pornography magazines. There are numerous publications which cater to the strange racially-charged pornography you are constantly watching online. TIP: For those used to masturbating solely to pornographic videos, waving still images of fucking back and forth can give the illusion of movement. Step Three: Pack lubrication. Otherwise youll end up needing to tab into your emergency food supplies for anti-chafing solutions. Step Four: Make a list of all the people you slept with in your early twenties. One of the most useful tools in surviving a long-term porn outage is harnessing the power of memory. Once your Emergency Porn Kit is finished make yourself some hot cocoa, lie back, and bring on the snow!

Once the kids grow up and leave the nest (or at least grow out of the crib and sleep in regular beds), parents are left with lots of baby items, and one question. What am I supposed to do with all this old stuff? Baby toys, clothesthose can all be donated. But a big bulky crib? That was a big investment! And those things arent cheap. So perhaps there is a way for parents to repurpose cribs, and find a new place for them in a baby-less house. If there isnt a baby on the way, and your friends and family members dont have use for a crib, the baby-bed can actually be a pretty fun do-it-yourself project, and as it turns out, it has a ton of different uses. This video below shows 28 awesome new uses for a crib. It shows how you can transform a crib into a couch/bench, a crafting desk, a pretty book shelf, even a miniature garden bed! Theres so much you can do with the old remnants of you childrens upbringing, rather than giving them away or letting them accumulate dust in the garage. Lets get resourceful, and get to work!

Many blacks enjoy rapping music, said Briggs & Adams Advertising president Sherman Roe, who developed the campaign for HospCare HMO. And what better way to tap into their market than by rapping good health to them? Roes campaign employs the use of a black teenager doing a rap for good health. Billboards of the campaign have been put up in black neighborhoods, and radio and TV ads have aired on black-oriented stations in the area. Roe predicts area blacks will, as a result, be rapping happy with their HMO service.

2	Drastic Measures Taken, Why Darren Wilson Is Fearing For His Life According to recent reports, former police officer Darren Wilson is employing personal security from the St. Louis police union. The protection is set to continue indefinitely as many fear for the officers well being in light of the grand jurys decision. According to Jim Pasco, executive director of the St. Louis Fraternal Order of Police, the unique circumstances of the case justify the need for special security. I dont know how he can live a normal life, Pasco told reporters. Well work with him as long as necessary. Wilsons attorney, Neil Bruntrager, called the actions very unusual and verified that Wilsons resignation was the result of ongoing threats to himself, the Ferguson Police Department, and his family. It was my hope to continue in police work, but the safety of other police officers and the community are of the paramount importance to me, Wilson said in a statement. It is my hope that my resignation will allow the community to heal. 
2	Casey Anthony Just Got Some Very Bad News It has not been an easy road for Casey Anthony, even after she was acquitted of the murder of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony. America has had a hard time believing that Anthony is innocent, though her legal team clearly did a strong enough job convincing the jury of reasonable doubt. Now, as it turns out, its Anthonys lawyers that we should be questioning. Todd Macaluso, who defended Anthony with partner Jose Baez, has just been accused of defrauding clients out of money in an attempt to keep his legal practice up and running. He has since confessed to scamming his clientsincluding falsifying signatures to secure investors. The Inquistr reports that the FBI caught Macaluso in his schemes while representing clients as a personal injury lawyer. Macaluso claims that his clients were unaware of the scams at the time. He is now facing up to 20 years in prison, as well as a $250,000 fine and restitution to his clients. Mr. Macaluso betrayed his clients trust by putting his clients personal injury recoveries on the hook without their knowledge or consent, Special Agent Eric S. Birnbaum told reporters. The FBI is committed to maintaining the integrity of our justice system by aggressively investigating those individuals that violate their fiduciary responsibilities through fraudulent schemes that victimize the American public. What do you think? Did Macaluso lie to help get Anthony off?

The five-minute video, entitled The people of the cross, followers of the hostile Egyptian church reportedly shows 21 Egyptian Christians being brutally beheaded. The men were reportedly in Libya for work when they were captured in two separate incidents. Although Egypt confirmed the abduction, they did not specify when the incidents took place, nor did they identify that the men captured were Christian. In the video, one of the terrorists is shown saying: O Crusaders, safety for you will be only wishes, especially when youre fighting us all together. Therefore, we will fight you all together, until the war lays down its burdens, and Jesus, peace be upon him, will descend, breaking the cross, killing the swine and abolishing jiziyah.

3	U.S. Govt Set to Kill Marine Life for Oil CompaniesNextNewsNetwork Oil companies want to explore areas offshore for oil. Many of these grounds have been drilled before, but industry officials say new technology could find reserves in areas once believed to be dry. A new sonic gun will create massive shock waves that will travel through the water, and through the sea bed. These guns will fire every ten seconds, 24 hours a day, for over a year. Suzie Hodges of Oceana said Its disruptive, destructive, and directly threatens the survival of marine creatures like dolphins, whales, and turtles. Whales, dolphins and other marine animals depend on sound for navigation and communication. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management estimates over 138,000 marine mammals could be injured or killed by the order. Sonic guns are powerful enough to kill eggs or larvae in areas they are used. They can also cause temporary or permanent hearing loss in whales and dolphins. Exploration was due to begin in 2011, but the plan was delayed after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010. Environmentalists were given until 2017 before sonic guns would be put into operation. The blasts could endanger not just the marine mammals, but hundreds of thousands of jobs along the coast, as well. Jacqueline Savitz of Oceana said, By failing to consider relevant science, the Obama administrations decision could be a death sentence for many marine mammals, needlessly turning the Atlantic Ocean into a blast zone. If seismic airguns are allowed in the Atlantic, it will jeopardize wildlife as well as commercial and recreational fisheries, tourism and coastal recreation putting more than 730,000 jobs in the blast zone at risk. Petroleum company executives are praising the decision. With this decision from the Obama Administration, the fate of the right whale is now in the hands of the oil corporations.

1	During a Tuesday visit to the American Museum of Natural History, Omaha resident Mary Stefano, 49, struggled to understand the concept of suggested donation. 'So, if the sign says $10 is the suggested donation, that means I have to pay $10, right?' Stefano asked the admission-counter cashier. 'Because, if you could pay less, why wouldn't everyone pay less?' After the cashier explained that $10 is what most adults pay, but museum visitors have the option of paying more or less depending on their ability, Stefano replied, 'But if I don't pay $10, I won't get to see the whole museum, right?' After another 10 minutes of queries, Stefano was escorted out of the museum by security. 
3	Digital Data is a Mortal RiskBy SARTRE The horror of keeping the door unlocked to the treasure chest of government and business secrets seems not to faze the computer gurus who pushed for decades that going digital was the holy grail of efficiency and productivity. Encryption was the answer to securing central databases of zeros and ones that store the most desirable information of national security. When the mainstream USA Today warns, The hacking of OPM: Is it our cyber 9/11? The cover-up of a vulnerability of unlimited sharing of data from security breaches should be a substantial alarm call. Although the announcement of the hacking into the computers of the OPM and the stealing of personal data on more than four million present and former federal employees was made in late May, the data breach had been discovered a month earlier and had been going on undiscovered for more than a year. An obvious question about this latest data breach is why were the hackers seeking this information and the answer at this time is that we do not know. This type of information could be used for purposes of identity theft for profit, for gathering information to be used by the Chinese government to enhance their spying capabilities or even as part of their ongoing worldwide corporate espionage efforts by which they steal corporate and military secrets, such as the theft of secret plans of our most advanced F-35 Stealth Fighter Jet which was accomplished by hacking into computers at the Pentagon and at Lockheed Martin, the builder of the plane. Evidence of the hacking of the F-35 was leaked to the public by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. In May of 2014, the Justice Department indicted five Chinese military personnel on charge of hacking into six American companies to steal corporate secrets, however this type of activity has gone on for years. According to security company Mandiant, Chinese hackers have stolen corporate secrets from 115 American companies since 2014 and it is not just the Chinese who do this type of corporate espionage. Russia has also been particularly active in corporate cybercrime. It was estimated by cybersecurity company CrowdStrike that the Russian government has hacked hundreds of companies around the world in order to steal trade secrets and corporate information they can exploit. Now it should be self-evident that spying from friends or foes are normal occurrences in a hostile world. Citing the theft of design, confidential technological and engineering details, obviously should be of concern to all citizens. However, the pattern of hacking and easy access to such information just does not seem to rise to the highest national concern. The question that is seldom asked is whether placing such sensitive secrets on networks that can be used by anyone, who can duplicate or pilfer the authorization credentials to login, is a core and systemic issue. With all the billions spent on the computer spy game, one would reasonably wonder why keep in a digital format the most important information resources that seem to be the highest objective on the target list for foreign theft. Espionage makes use of the most sophisticated methods for penetrating the barriers attempting to protect the information. Remember when the U.S. Embassy in the Soviet capital was penetrated with an eavesdropping device, the response was to communicate using an Etch-a-Sketch toy? Magic Slates dont blow up, go fast or even scare the dickens out of the bad guys, but the erasable memo pads nonetheless came in handy for two congressional delegates trying to outsmart spies during a mission to Moscow. While this example used voice recording, the permanent horde of computerized data is a far more significant gold mine of information. The miracle of the computer revolution has turned into the nightmare of espionage extraction. Consider how implausible it would be for a human spy to use a Minox camera from the cold war era to photograph top secret documents that were instantly transferred from the Chinese hack. Back in the good old days of low tech, organizations and bureaucracies stored their records on magnetic tape drives in-house. Those vast sharing networks in cyberspace did not exist and the only cloud known was the one that carried the rain. Today, the storm from relying on some exotic algorithm formula that claims to safely encrypt and secure any database is like placing your faith into the iPhone culture of assured communication. Back doors are the true entry gateway of global digital dissimulation. Surrendering safekeeping for the promise of easy sharing, misses the entire purpose of why secrets in any business or government are kept in the custody and stewardship of trustworthy persons, managing systems of formidable barriers that resist theft and broadcasting. What lessons were learned from Edward Snowden? For all the scorn dumped on this whistleblower, what was the method of his disclosures? The digital format of the files begs for accessing the data, for whatever motive the expert exhibits. Even harsh critics of Snowden do not make the case that he was a foreign agent plant. However, just imagine the kind of damage that could be accomplished if an undercover spy had access to the type of databases that a civilian contractor at the NSA was able to transmit. Centralizing critical information under firewall barriers has little guarantees that networks are secure. Since the digital format is the new standard, just maybe going against the grain is the prudent method to keep real secrets, confidential. Submitting the most important and sensitive to paper and not on computers might well supply a much safer policy than depending on security clearances to protect top secret documents. Abandoning the old fashioned tax reporting filings for an electronic submission is a formula for opening financial records on all tax payers. Surely, companies should get nervous over certain details that may not be part of public disclosures. And government technocrats should be put on notice that their role in protecting the system may just require their own agencies to be put under the microscope. If whistleblowers were the main source of hacks, the risk might be relatively minimal. Conversely, falling under the state sponsored hacking initiative certainly has every aspect of an act of war. Certainly, the prospect for a heated up confirmation is unlikely for no other reason that it is reasonable to conclude that the U.S. is well skilled in its own espionage operations. Nonetheless, it should be recognized that transparency is not defined as direct access to every database, both public and private. Digital files are well appreciated for library archives, news reports and political debate, but when foreigners attack information platforms that are intended to secure personal disclosures, the outrage should be more intense and the press needs to feature the problem. Privacy has become a dirty word for the collectivists who want to dominate individual behavior. Yet, the stuck on stupid crowd continues to voluntarily provide the most intimate details on their lives on every government form or in surveys. The databases, themselves, are the issue. A society that rushes to send selfies on the Internet, is hardly a culture based upon prudent and protective privacy. Accepting the digitalization of all information guarantees that the only security available rests upon non participation in the electronic communication environment. Even dropping out of the computer revolution will not retake your former disclosures. Files, yes digital format, are so prevalent that only the unborn do not yet have a dossier on file. It is one thing for Google, Facebook and Amazon to assemble personal profiles and project future behavior. But it is much worse for governments to target citizens of other countries for accumulating background information of civilians. Lesson learned. There is no security in cyberspace. If the information you want to protect is important, maintain the details in a privately secure paper format. By this definition, banking, employment, medical and educational circumstances are almost impossible to keep private. As for national security secrets, will you not agree that this is one area where the government should scale back on network access databases that are so vulnerable to foreign infiltration and spying? Let the debate be about expanding public disclosure on government policies and programs and keep the personal background data, private. If you believe that Net Neutrality regulations will provide greater security, the opposite will happen. Soon foreign agents will not have to hack the system. They will just need to plug into the next Big Brother database that the government will assemble.

1	Touting them as the next stage in modernized combat, representatives for the United States military unveiled today a new line of bionically enhanced super-soldiers, capable of withstanding the enormous mental toll of war. Commanders introduced the next-generation, biologically modified troops at a press conference in Washington, telling reporters that the elite military personnel have been engineered to mentally withstand limitless amounts of violence and bloodshed on the battlefield, which would then prevent them from experiencing future bouts of paranoia, anxiety, and crippling depression. Today we embark upon an exciting new frontier in 21st-century warfare, said Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey, standing beside a tightly formed platoon of the augmented soldiers, whom the four-star general described as impervious to ever feeling on-edge or completely numb to the world. These new servicemen are capable of fulfilling all the duties of their unmodified counterparts, but without the tendency to suffer severe mental breakdowns over what they have seen and done on the front lines. These brave, mentally reshaped men and women can be deployed and redeployed hundreds if not thousands of times without ever feeling shell shock or combat fatigue, Dempsey continued. And in our preliminary tests, not a single super-soldier has tried to end his life by putting a bullet in his head. According to members of the armed forces, the bionic infantrymen are surgically outfitted with an impenetrable mental barrier through which terror, sorrow, guilt, and despair cannot pass. They are reportedly capable of all the functions of a standard infantryman, but with an augmented resilience to psychological scarring resulting from the types of pain and anguish no normal human being should ever experience for prolonged periods of time. Furthermore, sources confirmed these advanced new conscripts are imbued with the unique ability to withstand the butchery of innocent civilians and the abrupt deaths of their squadmates without these episodes haunting them every day for the rest of their lives. The ability to block out the unending anguish and emotional instability that would typically threaten an unmodified soldiers mental stability makes the super-soldiers perfectly suited for battle, military officials said. In the past, you could only subject an enlisted man to so much trauma before he would, say, have a screaming fit where he couldnt stop picturing the faces of the Afghani family he accidentally shot to death, Lieutenant Colonel Marco Bennett said. But with these new super-soldiers, when a muffler backfires they arent sent into a mental tailspin in which they end up crying and hiding underneath their kitchen tables. Their retooled cerebral patterns will never allow them to think about when their rifles got jammed and they had to look their enemies in the face while they stabbed them to death with their bayonets. While the military has heralded its futuristic super-soldiers for their ability to withstand life in a hellish war zone, experts claimed the revolutionary bionic armys true strength comes in its members ability to seamlessly move back into civilian life. For example, the cutting-edge soldiers are fully capable of suppressing any feeling that the government used them as tools of destruction only to immediately discard them. In addition, they feel content, happy even, to have a menial job or no job at all. In the past, when normal soldiers did manage to get through their deployment, they often had difficulty adjusting to life back home without turning a gun on their family members, said U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki, noting that the returning super-soldiers will have no trouble whatsoever relating to people who havent seen what theyve seen. Now, we can use these bionic troops on the battlefield to whatever extent we require, send them back to their hometowns, and never have to worry about providing them with costly medical treatment and counseling. Which is pretty convenient, because we were planning on cutting those types of programs next year anyway, Shinseki added. 
3	Philippines Protesters Trample, Uproot GM Golden Rice TrialHeather Callaghan Growing GM rice with vitamin A to help the blind is one of the biggest philanthropic harbingers for GM crops. Extra genes are inserted to better produce beta-carotene. As discussed in yesterdays Top 5 GMO Myths Debunked, there are a number of ways to address vision problems of the poor without resorting to forever changing plant ecology. BBC author Matt McGrath reports that the project to develop this golden rice was in the works 20 years ago with funding from the Rockefeller Foundation to German researchers. Helen Keller International claims that 670,000 can die from vitamin A deficiency caused disease each year and 350,000 will go blind. But, if growing these crops to help with poor peoples vision is such a grand idea, why are they being rejected, oftentimes by those very people? Some 400 Philippines farming protesters had other things in mind for the trial. International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) with PhilRice conducted the trial showing dismay at the vandalism and again stressing humanitarian efforts to aid with nutrition. Adrian Dubock of the Golden Rice project said: Dr Tolentino said: Courts in the Philippines recently rejected trials for a new GM eggplant crop that had built-in pesticides, due to Filipino constitutional rights to health ecology. They are pushing to go forward with the project despite the damages and clear message of consumer disapproval. I repeat, the Filipino FARMERS do not want GM Golden rice but IRRI et al. are determined and will force them. Thus saith Rockefeller and Gates Foundation: Be sure to watch this emotional video response to the incident: Read more about the controversy: http://www.businessmirror.com.ph/index.php/en/business/agri-commodities/17657-farmers-uproot-golden-rice-in-camsur-experiment Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist.

1	President Bush delighted an intimate gathering of White House dinner guests Monday, regaling the coterie of dignitaries, artists, and friends with a spirited, off-the-cuff discussion of the Roman poet Virgil's lesser-known works. An effervescent Bush delights friends with tales of the poet Virgil. 'Ah, W. was in top form tonight,' Spanish foreign minister Josep Pique Camps said. 'We were all held captive by his erudition and charm. First, a brief history of the opium trade, then a bit of Brahms on the piano, then a rousing discussion of Virgil. That boy is a wonder, isn't he?' According to guests, the subject of Virgil arose serendipitously, when a servant opened a window in the Red Room, to which the group had retired for after-dinner drinks. Noticing the breeze, Bush raised his glass and delivered a toast to the changing of the seasons. He then apologized to 'lovely Winter,' explaining that he 'meant no slight against her.' 'The first blush of Spring always reminds me of Virgil's words,' Bush said. 'In early spring-tide, when the icy drip / Melts from the mountains hoar, and Zephyr's breath / Unbinds the crumbling clod, even then 'tis time / Press deep your plough behind the groaning ox / And teach the furrow-burnished share to shine.' 'Book One of The Georgics, of course,' Bush added. Bush arranged the small, informal dinner in honor of Camps' unexpected arrival in America. 'It had been too long since I'd heard one of W.'s anecdotes, so I simply got on a plane,' Camps said. 'I showed up at his doorstep with a watercolor by Ignat Bednarik, whom I know he adores, just to make sure he'd let me in.' Bush confessed that he has 'long held a fascination with the classical world,' noting that his love of Roman history influenced his decision to enter politics. 'Virgil was born in the year 70 B.C.let's see, that would be during the consulship of Gnaeus Pompeius The Great and Marcus Licinius Crassus, if I'm not mistaken,' Bush said. 'It is said that while Virgil's mother was with child, she dreamt she gave birth to a laurel branch, which, upon touching the ground, sprang up into a full-grown tree, its branches laden with ripe fruits and flowers. The next morning, she gave birth to Virgil. The legend goes that Virgil was born without crying, so mild was his countenance.' According to White House regulars, it is not uncommon for Bush to engage guests in discussions of whatever subject strikes his fancy, from the symphony playing in the background to the history of a style of jewelry a guest happens to be wearing. 'I love to hear George hold court on this or that,' said Bush family friend and world-renowned physicist Norberta Mnter. 'I tell him he is such a spoiled brat, the way he demands our attention, but I must confess I can't take my eyes off him when he does.' As the group sipped apple martinis and, in Bush's words, 'recovered' from the Chilean sea bass, the president continued. 'Most primarily associate Publius Vergilius Maro with The Aeneid,' Bush told guests. 'Yet so much pleasure is to be found in his lesser-known worksThe Eclogues, completed in 37 B.C., and The Georgics, in 30 B.C., both of which praise the idyllic rural life.' 'You have to remember I'm a bit of a farm boy myself,' chuckled Bush, referring to his 1,600-acre ranch in Crawford, TX. 'The Bucolics are my personal favorite,' Bush said. 'They were basically a thank-you to Asinius Pollio for preventing the seizure of Virgil's land by the Triumvirate when they ordered the lands on the far banks of the river Po distributed to veterans of the victory at Philippi. They are so sublime, so inspirational. But why should I speak, when Virgil can do so himself? And far more eloquently, I might add.' Bush then recited a selection from The Bucolics in the original Latin, pausing occasionally to translate into French out of respect for his friend Amlie du Maurier, a young Parisian concert violinist in attendance. Earlier in the evening, a blushing du Maurier admitted to Bush that she did not know Latin. Bush eased the young woman's embarrassment with a joke. 'I wouldn't be surprised if your father forbade you from learning Latin, out of sheer distaste for res publica,' said Bush, alluding to du Maurier's ancestors' place in the ousted French aristocracy. Despite urging from dinner guests to continue his Bucolics recitation, Bush declined. 'I have already taken up far too much of your valuable time with my classical nattering,' Bush said. 'I dearly wish I could give you back this hour during which you so graciously indulged my dilettantism, but, as Plautus said, 'Factum est illud, fieri infectum non potest.' Done is done, it cannot be made undone.' 
2	Veterans Are Attacking PacSun Store After They Displayed This American Flag Shirt On Memorial Day Weekend Retailer PacSun is facing some serious backlash from customers and veterans after one angry passerby posted a picture of an outrageous shirt being sold. The shirt, which was being promoted on Memorial Day, featured an upside-down American flag, despite restrictions from the United States flag code. In fact, the code claims that such a symbol should only be used in instances of extreme danger to life or property. The picture was posted as part of the companys buy one, get one 50% off sale in honor of the holiday. As a combat veteran, I refuse to step into your store ever again, one Facebook user wrote. Many others expressed similar sentiments, and PacSun was forced to issue a statement. As a retailer grounded in youth culture, PacSun values artistic and creative expression though the brands that we sell in our stores, PacSun wrote. Out of respect for those who have put their lives on the line for our country, we have decided to stop selling the licensed flag t-shirt and are removing it from our stores and website immediately. We thank the men and women in uniform for their extraordinary service. What do you think of the t-shirt? Is it completely tasteless?

2	Donald Trump Unloads On Hillary Clinton In THIS Amazing Way In a recent interview, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton caused major controversy when she decided to blame candidate Donald Trump for the Charleston massacre. According to reports, she implied that Trumps inflammatory rhetoric could trigger someone who is less than stable. Like, for example, a recent entry into the Republican presidential campaign said some very inflammatory things about Mexicans, Hillary argued. Everybody should stand up and say thats not acceptable. Clinton was referring to Trumps comments that a large and growing number of illegal immigrants are criminals and rapists. That comment, while controversial, is backed up by fact. Wow, its pretty pathetic that Hillary Clinton just blamed me for the horrendous attack that took place in South Carolina, Trump said in a video posted on Instagram. This is why politicians are just no good. Our country is in trouble. Hillary Clinton reaches new low. It should be pointed out that following the tragic shooting in Charleston, Trump canceled a sold-out campaign event in South Carolina. At this time of national sorrow, a responsible leader should be focused on uniting and healing the country, San Nunberg, Trumps spokesperson, told reporters. Nunberg also had words for Clinton. This is the same politician who lied to the world after she failed to take proper steps to secure the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi and falsely blamed the radical Islamic attack on a YouTube video, he claimed. What do you think? Would you vote Trump over Clinton? 
3	Government Surveillance: A Greater Threat Than TerrorismTed Baumann This was the only way he could express himself beyond the scrutiny of government surveillance that sought to know and record his every thought and action. You may recognize this scene, one of the most arresting from George Orwells dystopian fiction classic, Nineteen Eighty-Four. Winston Smith was breaking the law by seeking privacy outside the range of the telescreen in his apartment. In an irony that would no doubt give Orwell grim satisfaction in his own prescience, Britons today are being pursued and prosecuted under an Act of Parliament designed to curb terrorism for failing to pay a license fee for the televisions in their own homes. Big Brother is Watching You Orwell wrote soon after the invention of the television, which he envisaged as having evolved into an all-seeing two-way surveillance and propaganda device the telescreen. It subjected viewers to constant hectoring demands for obedience, and reported their every move to Big Brother, the avatar of the all-seeing surveillance state. The fact that the novel is set in a future (and fictional) Britain only heightens the irony of recent revelations in the UK. The government of Tory Prime Minister David Cameron has been using surveillance powers designed for the War on Terrorism to ferret out Britons who have not paid their hated TV License, a 145.50 ($220) annual tax imposed on every home containing a set in the country. Her Majestys government clearly takes this odious little tax very seriously so much so that the BBC is using the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA) designed to catch terrorists and Internet criminals to track down people who dodge the license fee. About 200,000 people were prosecuted for failing to buy a TV license between 2012 and 2013.More than 50 of those were sent to prison, and many others received penalties of up to 1,000 and a criminal record. We can assume that none of them were terrorists just ordinary subjects who dislike stupid taxes. Freedom is Slavery Orwell wrote with extraordinary perception and clarity, taking as his central theme the ways in which governments attempts to serve its citizens are inevitably turned against us. Any policy, program or technique developed to protect our freedoms will be used to achieve the opposite. Orwell would recognize the absurd irony of the situation in Western countries following the recent atrocities in Paris targeting the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. In response to these terror attacks, David Cameron has effectively launched a war against encryption, deeming private communication too great a threat to afford to keep as it prevents government from tracking and monitoring potential terrorists. After loud protestations for freedom of speech following a terrorist attack on a magazine, our leaders barely pause for breath before demanding even greater surveillance powers than they already have powers that, as Winston Smith knew, turn us all into self-censoring drones, fearful of saying or doing something that might offend Big Brother. Today anti-terrorism laws are being used to enforce petty taxes. How will the new rules and capacities that inevitably emerge from the je suis Charlie hysteria in Paris be deployed? We can imagine, as Orwell surely would, that the end result will be the opposite of the stated intention: Freedom will indeed become slavery. Youre On Your Own The more I research and write about personal and financial privacy, the more I turn instinctively to this phrase. In a world where government is the principal enemy, no one but ourselves will meet our needs for sovereign independence of thought and action. It is truly up to us. Every bit of information about you out there in the cloud the details of your lives and finances, triumphs and defeats, plans and dreams is a target. If otherwise law-abiding Britons can go to jail over a petty tax, courtesy of surveillance powers grabbed in the name of fighting terrorism, imagine what can and will happen if the government decides to turn its attention to you. This is why, now more than ever, you need to take concrete steps to secure your privacy not just from crooks, but from the greatest enemy of freedom there is: the government. By using techniques of encryption (while its available), secure end-to-end communication and identity masking, you can become a free and sovereign man or woman, because you control the knowledge available about you. But youve got to start now before its too late. Ted Baumann is an Offshore and Asset Protection Editor who joined The Sovereign Society in 2013.

According to reports, Malia went out to dinner at a restaurant called Gjelina, without out her parents, in LA. Paparazzi showed up at the location and snapped a few pictures. When Obama learned of the incident, he called the agency and demanded that the pictures be taken down. According to TMZ, Were told Michelle Obamas people told the agency they had promises from various media outlets not to photograph the 2 girls when they were not in the presence of their father. Surprisingly, the magazine did as they were told and removed the photos. Once again, Obama proves that he has no problem overstepping his legal authority to get what he wants.

1	According to reports, former presidential candidate Mitt Romney stopped by Wednesday morning to check up on Allen and Brenda Spearing, a financially strapped mother and father of three with whom he met briefly and had his photo taken while campaigning last year. Family members said Romney, who arrived at their home unaccompanied and unannounced, warmly greeted them when they opened the door and, after he was invited inside, spent more than three hours catching up with them. Its been a few months since Ive seen you guys, so I thought Id pop by and see how everyone is holding up, Romney said after hugging the Spearings, who confirmed the 2012 GOP nominee has phoned or emailed regularly since the October campaign stop during which he shook their hands for five seconds and assured them he would work hard for their family if elected president. I know I didnt win in November, but that certainly doesnt mean I cant do what I said and fight each and every day for you. Things havent been easy lately, and I just want you to remember that Im always here if you need a hand. Hows little Gracie doing, by the way? Romney continued. She turned 7 in March, right? I tell you, they sure do grow up fast. Though he is no longer running for president, sources said Romney has tirelessly kept in touch with every single American he met throughout his campaign, including a struggling single mother of four in Florida, a New Jersey family whose home was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy, and thousands of other voters with whom he appeared in photos while wearing rolled-up sleeves and blue jeans. After several minutes of small talk with the Spearings, Romney reportedly steered the discussion to their financial situation, first suggesting ways the family could refinance their costly mortgage and then going over some job leads he had researched for Allen, who was laid off from his position at an automotive plant last August. The job market is tough right now, and trust me, youre not the only one going through this, said Romney, putting his arm around the 46-year-old father. But listen, I know a few people in the manufacturing sector, and Ive been putting in some calls for you. Im sure one of these prospects will work out sooner or later. In the meantime, take the wife and kids out for a nice meal on me, added Romney, discreetly handing Spearing several $20 bills from his wallet. Later, the onetime presidential hopeful was seen choking back tears while discussing the Spearings eldest son, 23-year-old Matthew, an Army sergeant who recently left for his second military tour in Afghanistan. Mattys a tough kid, and he can look after himself over there, said a visibly emotional Romney, noting that he has been talking to Matthew over Skype at least once a week since the deployment. I know how much you miss himwe all do. I sent him a care package a while back. He loves getting those Rice Krispies treats, and he said he enjoyed the DVDs, too. The visit to the Spearings home was immediately followed by a trip to the nearby Deer Creek Retirement Center, where sources said Romney spent one-on-one time with all 200 residents, each of whom he appeared to know by name. He then met with a cash-strapped small business owner in danger of losing her family-run restaurant, personally combing through the womans entire 2012 IRS filing in search of any additional tax credits she might be able to take advantage of next year. As with every voter Romney has visitedfrom Virginia to Wisconsin to Coloradothe Spearings expressed their gratitude for the former Massachusetts governors heartfelt concern. Im ashamed to admit it now, but when we first met him during the campaign, I thought maybe he was just saying all that stuff because he was running for president, you know? Allen Spearing told reporters. It turns out thats just the kind of guy Mitt is. He told my family he cared about us, and he really does, Spearing added. At press time, Romney had reportedly left Ohio just in time to make it to his weekly five-hour volunteer shift at a soup kitchen in New Hampshire.

3	Is Ukraine MP Blaming Putin for the Flu?By Heather Callaghan Coincidentally, reports surfaced of another flu epidemic that spread to civilians in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk. It simply isnt clear at this time if the two outbreaks are related, although they both share serious respiratory complications. The U.S. media is still eerily quiet about claims of possible U.S. involvement in a deadly, uncontained outbreak which doesnt respond to modern medicine. Reports of the Ukraine flu, called a Swine flu, continue in the news each day as the death toll climbs and citizens everywhere don white masks. At this point, there are vastly more questions than answers when it comes to either of the viruses circulating in Ukraine. One is being labeled Swine flu and the other California Flu simply because the latter has yet to be identified and allegedly comes from a US laboratory, says geopolitical analyst and writer Brandon Turbeville. The Donetsk Army seems convinced that the two are separate, however, since it has stated clearly that the virus has not been identified. Turbeville also stated, Naturally, if the virus has escaped from a U.S. lab, it presents the possibility for it be used as a propaganda attack on the West, particularly the United States. After all, it has been the United States that created the unrest in Ukraine to begin with. Thats if it came from a U.S. lab. It is quite possible that the virus is a mutation or the product of other factors. If the virus did, in fact, come from the lab in question, then we have a whole new set of questions. We would not be able to assume that the virus escaped from the lab at all. In fact, given the labs general location, it would be a conducive setting for the release of a biological weapon. Its deep inside Ukraine but very close to the Russian border. Not the most ideal in terms of delivery but close enough to have effect. Its important not to lose our heads here though. Every year, fear and panic over viruses and illnesses appear in the mainstream press to disappear just as quickly. Still, its clearly something to keep an eye on. As for Bogomolez statements, allegedly blaming Putin for the flu outbreak, Turbeville said, From everything I can see, Bogomolez is not blaming Putin for the flu. While rhetoric like that tends to come out of the Ukrainian parliament on a regular basis, it seems Bogomolez was simply encouraging the nation by the saying that it would overcome Putin and the flu separately. While the claims of Putins aggression against Ukraine are fanciful, it doesnt appear that she was linking him to the flu.

2	After Dallas, ChickAfter the tragic Dallas Massacre, Chick-fil-A introduced a new shirt for employees. Liberals are outragedbut anyone with respect for the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep us safe are applauding. Other fast food companies have been afraid to take a stand, and once again Chick-fil-A stands above the rest. Employees were recently spotted wearing company shirts that read Back the Blue. This is just part of an effort to show their unwavering support and respect for our officers. Earlier this year, the Christian company also hosted a series of fundraisers to benefit the family of a fallen police officer in Utah. What do you think of Chick-fil-As efforts? Do you support them in taking a stand?

The hotel is massivewith 300 rooms and 500 new employees. During the question and answer period, Trumps attention was captured by one woman who asked whether or not the hotel would employ former military personnel. Im a 9/11 survivor, Iraq and Afghanistan veteran, she continued. I love the policy that you have for the military. I wanted to know if Trump Towers would be part of that veteran job [initiative].

3	Russian Lives Dont Matter Much EitherOp-Ed by Lana Zakinov They say that a tragedy unites people, brings them together in compassion, empowers them to be strong in the face of a common enemy. That didnt happen after the Paris attacks. On the contrary, it unleashed rampant Islamophobia, just like after the 9/11 attacks, escalated the carnage in the Middle East, and was used as an excuse to close borders to Syrian refugees. On a more trivial level, it divided Facebook users into two camps: those who overlaid their profile pic with the French flag, and those who didnt. I suspect there is a third camp: those who dont care, but as usual, they are irrelevant to the political zeitgeist. I support France and I sympathize with the victims and the families who suffered this terrible tragedy, but I didnt change my profile pic. The morning after the nightmarish events of that Friday the 13th I couldnt help thinking about how selective our compassion is. A Jewish friend said to me: Terrorist acts like this is a regular occurrence in Israel, and nobody cares. I disagree. People do care, and our governments support of Israel is unquestionable and systematic: from supplying weapons for the Israeli military and direct financial aid to diplomatic and trade agreements. Every time theres a terrorism act in Israel, I see an outpouring of support and a blanket condemnation of the Palestinian rebels. But when a Russian plane blew up in the air and hit the ground somewhere over the Sinai desert, it was barely even reported in the news. Every single person aboard died over 220 people and we dont even blink an eye. Many of the passengers were families with children (or parents who left children at home) returning from vacationing at an Egyptian resort Sharm el-Sheikh. Some were saving up for this trip for yearsThe youngest passenger was 10 months old, affectionately hashtagged the main passenger on Twitter. The Russians made a point to collect all the evidence before pointing fingers, so the news reports were initially tentative about identifying the cause of the crash, focusing more on the impact. But lets face it, planes dont just blow up in the air. Now over 90 percent of international experts concluded that it was an act of terrorism, and lo and behold Islamic State claimed responsibility for the explosion. It happened two weeks before the Parisian attacks. I only heard about it because Im Russian, and I subscribe to a few Russian news channels. Talking to my mom on Skype confirmed that it was a national tragedy unlike anything that happened in Russia before. St. Petersburgs Pulkovo the destination airport of the ill-fated flight 7K9268 was buried in flowers, pictures, toys People said: this affects everybody, this is our common loss. So why is a terrorist attack on Paris a tragedy, but a Russian plane crash or Beirut suicide bombings a side note? Why are we so eager to support the French and ignore the rest? I dont think the answer to that question is more complicated than the deeply entrenched euro-centrism that still plagues much of the world. Even American citizens still have to fight the discrimination, reiterating over and over again that black lives matter, the implication being that white lives matter more in this country. Is it at all surprising that Arab lives or Russian lives matter less than French lives? Either that, or desperately uninformed and brainwashed by the mainstream media, were just blindly following the social media trends, complacent and self-righteous in our hypocrisy. P.S. In response to the Russian passenger plane crash French magazine Charlie Hebdo published a cartoon that showed a burning skull with a caption The dangers of Russian low cost flights. Many Russians were appalled by what they considered pure blasphemy and a mocking of this unspeakable tragedy. The French foreign ministry denied any association with the magazine, saying that it did not reflect the views of the French government. Lana Zakinov is a Russian American freelance writer and editor with a Masters in Political Science. She lives in San Diego, CA with her husband and three dogs. It has nothing to do with russian, or french, or otherwise. It is that there is a point at which people are triggered into some kind of action. And/or someone simply came up with an idea that others could get around. The us vs. them mentality, is exactly why we are here! The Russian plane news was on CNN, BBC, France24, Aljazera and all US TV channels, also in European online newspapers. The difference between the Russian plane and Paris was that in Paris there was much more to report as the chase on the terrorists was ongoing b/c at least one was still alive and hiding and was later found in another country. I dont think at all that Russian lives matter less. Most Americans dont give a crap about anyone. They did not care about 500,000 dead Iraqi children that were the victims of American sanctions and that was a price worth paying according to Madeleine Albright, How about the millions of Vietnamese, Iraqi, South American and Afghan victims of the scum from the land of the fee and home of the slave? I was happy to read your article because I saw the outpouring of sympathy for France and the immediate Watching this same situation has been distressing me too. Just not on Facebook. Iam on a large art website known as DA. Watched as hundreds of images poured out for Paris and made the front page when nothing had showed up for Civilian Plane that was shot down. Instead of lamenting my generation, I took it into my own hands. When they downed the Pilots, I did a picture for Russia, thanking them for their sacrifices regarding IS. I met a couple of extremely nice Russian artists this way. All it cost me was time. Some People seem to have lost the ability to empathise without being told to by Facebook. Forgotten, because of social media and its show me only what I want to hear algorithms how to connect with people who arent exacly like them. So. How do we fix this? 
1	Anew and worry some Trend has arisen in our young Common Wealth. That is, the practice of assuming extended Reprieves from the Industry and Enterprise which makes this Nation one of great Prosperity and Independence. Further more, it is believed that the Periods of Idleness may total up to One Hundred Seconds and Eighty in Length for every thirty Days. These Leisure Activities, which apparently do not yield any productive Work what so ever, but rather elicit a strange Sensation which has been referred to as 'Pleasure,' include such Pursuits as engaging in Games of Throw-The-Ball with one's Son; Sitting, a still some what obscure Practice of Monarchical Origin, involving a Transfer of the Weight of the Body to the awaiting Support of an Armed Chair, or such like accommodating Surface, so as to reduce Strain on Muscles of the Lower Limbs; and perhaps most Trouble some of all, Reading. It is a Mystery why more than fifteen Seconds ev'ry Fort Night are requir'd for these trivial Goings-On, and it is also a great Concern among Many that these lengthy Interludes of Indolence will result in a veritable Nation of INVALIDS, who would prefer the Lounging of the Body and the Lethargy of the Soul to productive and enriching Tasks such as ploughing the Fields, taking Axe to Wood until great Volumes of Sweat must be mopp'd from the Brow, hitching One's Self to Logs, Boulders, &c.; and hauling them away, Churning, Foraging, Plucking of the Goose, picking the Seeds out of Bolls of Cotton until the Moon is high and Blood flows freely from the Fingers, & Sewing and Mending by dim Candle Light, until one eventually goes Blind & dies alone in the Alms House.

3	Students Protest School Reeducation Policies, Rewriting U.S. History to Downplay Civil DisobendienceMelissa Melton Via Fox News: The school board proposal that triggered the walkouts in Jefferson County calls of instructional materials that present positive aspects of the nation and its heritage. It would establish a committee to regularly review texts and course plans, starting with Advanced Placement history, to make sure materials promote citizenship, patriotism, essentials and benefits of the free-market system, respect for authority and respect for individual rights and dont encourage or condone civil disorder, social strike or disregard of the law. Students organized the mass protest via social media. Some carried signs that read, History wasnt meant to be hidden and You cant change history.

At least these students and teachers arent just blindly bowing to a system that sounds like it came straight out of a George Orwell novel. Is this how America plans to finally brainwash its youth into total submissiveness? For a long time, the school system in this country has been doing everything imaginable to downplay and discourage free, critical thinkingbut now the nations schools are going to openly edit history by essentially omitting the acts of civil disobedience America was, in so many ways, founded upon? How long until the U.S. is designing all the lessons plans directly from those out of Communist China or North Korea? As a public school student who later went on to complete multiple college degrees, I remember I never once ever heard anything throughout all my years of education about the fact thatPresident Roosevelt signed an executive order allowing our government to literallyintern over 125,000 Japanese Americans into camps during World War II for the crime of being Japanese. This is despite having taken a class on history in college that involved a special unit on World War II! I still was never told that our government forced Japanese Americans into camps. If I had not done my own research, and if instead I deferred all of my knowledge to only what I received in school, I guess I may never have even known that our government could be capable of such a thingsomething many Americans today seem to blindly believe regardless of the fact that it has already happened before.

1	Citing the day-in, day-out grind of waking up early every morning and plugging away nonstop to find a job, Americans across the nation are spending their Labor Day taking a well-deserved day off from looking for work. Whether its spending time at the park, firing up the grill, or simply enjoying a relaxing day inside watching television, U.S. citizens, who reportedly work an average of eight hours a day searching for employment, said they were glad to take some time off from the near-constant pressure of their job hunts. Its definitely good to recharge, said unemployed operations manager Rob Wilkes, 44, who vowed to relax and not send a single looking-for-work-related email the entire day. I honestly cant remember the last time I took a day off from trying to find a job. Added Wilkes, Labor Day last year, maybe? Stating how important their finding a career is to them, Americans admitted it would be somewhat difficult to completely tear themselves away from various work-seeking responsibilities that typically pop up during the day, such looking through the classified sections of multiple newspapers, and blindly sending out dozens of resumes and cover letter. However, citizens maintained that their lives cant just revolve around their job search, and that it's essential to take some time away from the gruelingand some would say mind-numbinghours spent staring endlessly at a computer monitor displaying Monster.com and LinkedIn. Moreover, for the entire day, Americans have vowed to completely avoid discussing the subject of finding work, and just enjoy hanging out with friends, relatives, and recently laid-off coworkers. Im constantly in looking-for-work mode, said former market researcher Amanda Cooper, adding that Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. till 6 p.m. she can be found glued to her bedroom desk trying to find a job. But you know what? Its Labor Day. Im not going to think about all the follow-up phone calls I have to make to potential employers, or how Im behind on updating my CV. In fact, there is a job application to Burger King sitting on my kitchen table right now, and itll just have to wait until tomorrow. Im just going to sit back, relax, and watch a movie, Cooper continued. Mainly because I cant really afford to go anywhere or do anything. Though the U.S. populace is content to take the day off, citizens have confirmed that because of Americas now well-established looking-for-work ethic, come tomorrow morning theyll be back at it.

2	Hillary Clinton Makes Sick Move After Judge Jeanine Calls Her A Racist Bigot On Live TV [VIDEO] This week Judge Jeanine Pirro went after Hillary Clinton, exposing her for the racist, hypocritical, criminal that she is. This week, Hillary is all better and she and her surrogates call on all Americans, all but us deplorables, that is, to stand up and repudiate Donald Trumps divisive rhetoric, she commented. How? Through their own divisive rhetoric. She then noted that Hillary has claimed Trump started the birther controversy. Ironically, Hilarys 2008 campaign actually started it. She then reminded America that Hillary called Trump a racist for simply calling out genuine problems in the inner city. Imagine someone who distorts the truth to fit a very narrow view of the word, Pirro quoted Hillary. Imagine a president who sees someone who doesnt look like him, doesnt agree with him, and thinks that person must not be a real America, close quote. Hillary! Pirro exclaimed. Thats exactly what you said last week when you called us deplorable because we didnt agree with your vision, we were not American. 
1	For the seventh year in a row, the Father's Day gift that Robert Frankel, 48, received from his children Sunday was way shittier than the Mother's Day gift his wife received five weeks earlier. 'Wow, thanks, Marc and Erica, they're great,' Frankel said, as he unwrapped a $9 pair of padded socks. 'These should really keep me warm.' The gift, which stood in sharp contrast to the $85 day-spa gift certificate the children lovingly gave their mother on May 11, was presented without a card. 
3	High Radiation Readings In City Of Koriyama, 60km From FukushimaDigby Jones On a normal day, the average amount of radiation a person receives is between 0.10 0.20 micro sieverts (Sv). However, in this park the man takes readings from two different devices and gets results of 0.47 and 0.65 Sv at chest height. To put these readings in perspective, 0.25 Sv is the U.S. limit on an effective dose from a single airport security screening. The man later gathers a reading of 22.97 Sv from a patch of sand on the corner cover of a road side gutter. To put THAT kind of reading into perspective, 10 30 Sv is the average dose of radiation coming from a full-body CT scan. These are the levels of radiation that the people of Koriyama are exposed to on a DAILY basis. This post first appeared on Ingenious Press.

'I'm not going to name names, but there sure seem to be a lot of sitcoms featuring pudgy, working-class goofs with unbelievably hot wives and meddlesome in-laws,' Weithorn said. 'I'm sorry, but that's KOQ territory. These other shows are the work of shameless copycats with no ideas.' Creators of According To Jim, Still Standing, Rodney, George Lopez, and Center Of The Universe expressed the same complaint.

1	When six former Confederate officers gathered in the winter of 1865 to establish a private social club, none of them could have dreamed that their small group would one day grow into Americas preeminent white nationalist organization, one that embodies the values of faith, family, and community that have always been the bedrock of this great country. But today, the order of the Ku Klux Klan has become so much more than just a small club of devoted white Americans. The modern KKK has evolved past its humble beginnings into a thriving coalition of the countrys brightest and boldest, a swelling army of individuals dedicated to preserving and celebrating white culture. And with its membership rolls growing on a daily basis, no one can deny that the KKK is back on top, fully in charge, and looking confidently toward the future. Get ready, readers. The KKK Era is now officially in full effect! The KKK is stronger than its ever been, said Thomas Robb, national director of the Knights Party, just one of the numerous chapters of the Klan that has enjoyed a groundswell of support in recent years. Today, the whole of White America marches under the KKK banner as we continue our glorious crusade to take back what is rightfully ours. And as we continue our advance, the future is brighter than ever, Robb continued. Though Robb and other imperial officers acknowledge that the KKK experienced a brief dip in membership during the first half of the 20th century, all accounts indicate the white heritage organization has made up its losses with interest. Once a stronghold only in the South, todays Klan flourishes in all 50 states, with its daily rallies, group meet-ups, and other community events having become mainstays in every major city in the country. And with its ranks growing on a daily basis, the KKKs leadership has persisted in its original mission of encouraging racial purity, building solidarity in white communities, and, above all, educating youth on the importance of their European heritage. Todays KKK has fully modernized its approach to reaching young people, said Chicago-based Church of the American Front social media director Evan Murray, who pointed to his organizations recent push on Twitter, YouTube, and other popular online forums that have served as fertile recruiting grounds for the countrys pride-minded youth. Thanks to our efforts to inspire the nations children to unite and take back their birthright, today we are training the next generation of soldiers in the ongoing fight. A number of prominent American business leaders have also come forward to say they can only speculate on what is sure to be yet another groundbreaking decade for the movement. When any sort of group maintains the level of diligence and perseverance that the Ku Klux Klan has in the past decade, it is only too certain they will flourish, said American publishing magnate T. Herman Zweibel. I fully support their organization, I admire their commercial clout, and hereby endorse any message or movement they seek to advertise. Theyve also proven their worth as a more than willing business partner, Zweibel added. For more information on the exciting Ku Klux Klan movement, visit www.KKK.com.

3	Cover Up Mainstream Reporting on Fukushima a JokeBy Terrence Newton The mainstream media, for its part, appears to be complicit in a cover-up of the effects that Fukushima radiation isalready having on our environment and on human and animal health, and instead insists on omitting most news on the matter, or seriously dumbing down reports of the fallout. For example, at CNN.com, a search for Fukushima yields only 6 unique related stories for the entire calendar year of 2015 so far. Two of these stories focus onsensationalized footage of underwater robotsassisting in the detection of radiation. A third story is ironically about the failure and loss of a first underwater robot. On April 14th, CNN ran a video report with 11 short segments entitled New look inside Fukushima, which focused primarily on the lifestyle impact the disaster has had on Japans Fukushima prefecture. On February 24th, 2015 CNN ran a very short snippet entitled Highly Radioactive Water Spill Sets Off Alarm at TEPCO Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, which included this quote: With discharged water likely to have contained contaminated water, the regulatory body concluded that part of highly radioactive water flew into the plants port. It has yet to find out the cause of the situation. On January 20th, 2015, CNN ran an article about a TEPCO employee who died by falling inside a water storage tank at Fukushima. At the home page of FoxNews.com, you might see embarrassing photos of presidential candidates and stories about ISIS, shark attacks, motel shootouts and murder investigations, but very little pressing news about the impacts of Fukushima on publichealth. A search of their coverage of of Fukushima for 2015 includes a June 30th story about a cool looking new robot called the Scorpion that promises to soon get a look at melted fuel inside the reactor. Fukushima was tagged and mentioned in a Fox News video report on June 18th, 2015 covering the upcoming robot Olympics, which included the quote, who isnt excited about Terminator or Genesis? A Fox News story about $1.6 billion in wasted cleanup funds in Japan was featured on March 24th, with a retraction published the following day to correct a misprint about whos funds were allegedly squandered. On March 9th of this year, Fox News also ran a very concise anniversary piece on the disaster, mostly focusing on the prospect of new earthquakes, tsunamis, or volcanic eruptions that could potentially cause more damage to Japans nuclear infrastructure. In this article they did mention the ongoing fallout, as is fully quoted here: Radioactivity released as a result of the Fukushima accident continues to be a problem at the site, which the Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) is decommissioning. A radioactive puddle was discovered in early March on the roof of one of the damaged buildings, TEPCO said. In late February, engineers also detected a rise in the radioactivity of drainage water, some of which went into the ocean. On June 11th and 12th, Fox News ran 2 articles about the proposed 30-40 year roadmap to clean up Fukushima, featuring vague guesses as to how some of the major issues at the plant can be resolved. As examples, here are a couple of choice quotes: The volume of [radioactive] water grows by 300 tons daily. TEPCO runs it through treatment machines to remove most radioactive elements, and then stores it in thousands of tanks on the compound. Water leaks pose environmental concerns and health risks to workers. Nuclear experts say controlled release of the treated water into the ocean would be the ultimate solution. The 1,573 units of [highly radioactive and volatile] fuel rods mostly used but some of them new are considered among the highest risks at the plant, because they are uncovered within the reactor building. To remove them, the building roofs must be taken off and replaced with a cover that prevents radioactive dust from flying out. Each building is damaged differently and requires its own cover design and equipment. The government and plant operator TEPCO hope to start the process in 2018, three years later than planned. On April 13th,Fox News piped in along with CNN in about the loss of the radiation detecting robot. And on January 9th, again in concert with CNN, Fox News also coveredthe death of the TEPCO employee who fell in the water tank. The most recent report on Fukushima to be found at MSNBC.com is over a year old, and covers the 2014 anniversary of Fukushima in a short 186-word (including author bio) piece. CBSNews.com featured on article in 2015 about of the impact of radioactive fallout on birds in the vicinity of Fukushima, which is actually the most thorough report on Fukushimas environmental impact to be found so far in the mainstream media for 2015. Even at the ever-popular DrudgeReport.com, 2015 coverage of the Fukushima catastrophe is light and fails to bring attention tothe impacts on human and environmental health. A search on their site reveals 10 links (with 2 duplicate links) about Fukushima for 2015,with one link aboutthe arrival of Fukushima contamination on the U.S. Pacific Coast, and another linking to an Independent.UK story about the importation of radioactive Japanese products into Great Britain. Behind the Glaring Omissions Hiding behind the glaring omissions of the mainstream press regarding Fukushima is the pressing reality that contamination from the event is severe, continual, on the rise, and already affecting North America. Many smaller and bizarre ecological are taking place as we speak, such as massive marine life die-offs on the Pacific Coastline of the U.S. and Canada, and the detection of radioactive material from Fukushima in our food supply, yet there is no connection between these events and Fukushima in the mainstream news. Independent Media Runs With the Story There is, however, plenty of news coming out about Fukushima and plenty of conversation taking place about the impact on the environment and on human health. Its just not to be found in the mainstream media, who is unquestionably strongly influenced by the nuclear energy industry and the government, and apparently involved in one of the greatest media cover ups of all time. We know that the mainstream media has the power to rally the golden hordes into action, as is evident in their promotion of a race war and sensationalized coverage of ISIS and other government created threats.In fact, recent news events in theUS prove just how malleable public outrage is when the elite wish to make a major pubic policy change or cause a major stir in our social fabric. Take for example the medias efforts to shove non-issues like the Bruce Jenner sex change in our face. When it comes to nuclear radiation and the impact it is having on life and our food supply, the dumbing down of events in the mainstream media is exceptional, suggesting that they simply do not wish for the public to know the severity of the crisis, or that they dont care for us to be forewarned enough to take precautionary measures.

2	ESPN Host Ray Lewis Receives Death Threats For Saying THIS About BlackLivesMatters According to recent reports from the Washington Times, former linebacker and current ESPN host Ray Lewis has come under fire after telling the world what he really thinks about the BlackLivesMatter hypocrisy. Im trying to figure out if black lives really matter, Mr. Lewis said in an emotional video post on Saturday. The March murder rate rose by 20 percent, but were not rioting the streets over black-on-black crime. Im trying to figure out in my mind why no one is paying attention to black men killing black men, he continued. Why do we always find ourselves as the victims, and now we have the separation once again that were being victimized because of one bad white cop, two bad white cops, three bad white cops, killing a young black brother. But every day we have black-on-black crime, killing each other. I know black lives batter, Lewis concluded. Im a black man, but man, stop killing each other. Man, we got to put these guns down in Chicago, Baltimore, Miamiman it aint that hard. You got to be OK with earning a living. It aint supposed to be easy. If we dont change what were doing, not only will our kids not have a future, but we might find ourselves extinct, he said, closing his chilling message. What do you think? Do you agree with Lewis?

THIS Is A Revolution Judge Jeanine Pirro has never backed down from voicing her opinion, but her latest speech could be the most inspiring one she has ever delivered. Throughout this election process, Pirro has acknowledged the fact that Trump has had many enemies. Now, she argues, he will unite everyone. As for the campaign itself, they told you-you didnt matterthat if you supported him you were probably uneducated, small-minded and irrelevant, Pirro commented. You were beneath them, she continued. That if you wanted closed bordersa nation stateyou werent Christian enough, not American enough, not big-hearted enough. That if you didnt see racism in every cop who walked the beat, you probably were a racist yourself. That if you used the term Muslim Jihadist instead of terrorist, you were an anti-religious bigot, she added. Truth and honesty had no place in their politically correct society. If you opposed sanctuary cities where the protection of illegal criminal immigrants was the law, you were a hateful bigoted xenophobe. They knew better than you. Thats when Pirro switched gears, acknowledging that conservatives are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. In spite of it all, even though we felt forgotten, alone and beaten down, we all came home because this wasnt an electionthis was a revolution, Pirro concluded. Watch her inspiring speech below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Pirro? Is Trump going to be the catalyst for change in our society? Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com 
1	Contending that morse-coded descriptions of improperly petticoated young ladies are undermining the morals of American boys yet in short pants, U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-SC) proposed legislation Monday banning telegraph porn. Senator Thurmond 'My friends, this revolutionary new 'Tele-graph' technology, by which messages are transmitted across vast distances via cable wire, is indeed a wondrous device,' Thurmond told fellow members of the Senate. 'But certain telegraphersmost corrupt and foul telegraphy men indeedhave debased Mr. Morse's code by using its ingenious dots and dashes to transmit porno-graphs describing flagrantly uncorseted womenfolk. I submit to you, gentlemen, that laws be passed to prevent the tele-graph device from becoming a machine of ill repute!' Thurmond's proposed legislation would establish stiff penalties for the transmission of certain obscene words and phrases along Western Union's telegram and telegraph wires, including 'merry-widow,' 'bosom,' and 'underthings,' as well as prohibit the use of the word 'legs' instead of 'limbs' when referring to the female anatomy. In certain contexts, the words'disheveled' and 'heaving' would also be regarded as violations of the law, with perpetrators subject to fines of $50 or seven years hard labor on the proposed trans-American steam railroad. 'As our nation recovers from the depredations and ruin of the recent War Of Northern Aggression, we must not permit the tele-graph to become the Devil's instrument,' said Thurmond, 95. 'Mr. Morse's messaging device must not be allowed to corrupt the hearts and minds of the Republic's youths!' If approved, Thurmond's Providential Purity Of Telegraphical Missives Bill would be the anti-obscenity victory the senator has been seeking since his proposed censorship of the Sears-Roebuck catalog was vetoed by President Eisenhower in 1958. 'We must not let the tele-graph become a tool of Sin,' Thurmond said. 'Why, just the other day, one of my lady constituents informed me that her son, through an elaborate button-clicking process by which I assume she means the tele-graph, was able to receive all sorts of messages of women cavorting not only with men, but with tribes of blackamoors, instruments of infernal design, and even the beasts of the field. Such foulness must not be tolerated!' To help prevent youths from having access to telegraph porn, Thurmond is encouraging concerned parents to use a device known as the 'V-switch,' a V-shaped piece of metal that blocks Morse coding inappropriate for children. Thurmond reserved his harshest words for the members of Congress who have been critical of his telegraph-porn bill, including Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA). 'I believe that those among my colleagues who have called my idea 'bull-roar' are seeking profitable telegraphy concessions for their home states,' Thurmond said. 'And I would specifically remind Miss Feinstein that she is merely a territorial representative of the land known as California, and until that savage desert wasteland is granted statehood, her opinions have no bearing on the business of the Union. Furthermore, as a member of the weaker sex, Miss Feinstein should be ashamed that she is forward enough to speak on the very Senate floor! For shame, Miss Feinstein, for shame!' Concluding his address, Thurmond reiterated that he is not opposed to the telegraph, but merely to its exploitation and misuse by a small handful of individuals. 'I would no more impede the wheels of Progress than I would permit my granddaughter to wed a Red Indian,' Thurmond said. 'But things have gone too far. Has Providence inspired in us the modern wonder of the tele-graph, only to see it used as a tool for depravity and women of easy leisure? A thousand times no!' The senator then died.

Wallace. Here we go again; its like Bad Boy v. Death Row, Round Two, said the stupendous dipshit, somehow managing to liken a highly complex geopolitical crisis to a decades-old hip-hop feud between two recording artists. North Korea is Biggie and South Korea is Tupac. East Coast against West Coast. Simple as that. Lets just hope it doesnt end as tragically. Sources confirmed Weiss is one of the biggest fucking idiots on the planet. 
2	When They Disrespected The National Anthem, This Coach Teaches Them A Lesson [VIDEO] Sometimes, its essential to recognize that todays youth doesnt always realize the impact they are having on the world, or their own lives for that matter. In order to develop and learn those lessons, its of vital importance that they have strong adults and people as authority roles to influence them in a positive way. Thats why Coach Williams of Virginia Tech decided to teach his student athletes a valuable lesson about serving America and respecting veterans. During the National Anthem, Coach Buzz Williams noticed that some of his players werent being respectful of the tradition. They were goofing off. Instead of getting angry, Coach Williams taught them a lesson they would never forget. He lined them up face to face with a group of war veterans. He then communicated the importance of honoring and respecting the people who have served America and fought for freedom. Its not surprising that the powerful footage of this lesson has been watched more than 7 million times. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you applaud Coach Williams?

1	A few days into his summer vacation, local 16-year-old John Vucinich told reporters Tuesday that he is excited to have the next three months to do nothing but sit back, relax, and meticulously plot out the details of the mass shooting he is planning for the upcoming school year. After a long, stressful year, its great to have all this free time to just kick up my feet and figure out exactly when, where, and how Im going to make everyone pay, said Vucinich while lying comfortably in a deck chair and sketching out a rough list of students and teachers he plans on targeting during his upcoming rampage, as well as a tentative arsenal. When class is in session, theres way too much homework and studying for me to spend on outside projects, like sketching out a route from the parking lot to the cafeteria in order to maximize the body count. But now I have all the time in the world! Will I get Clint and those guys on the football team first? Should I go for head shots or just spray the crowd? Luckily I have a long, lazy summer to figure all that stuff out. At press time, Vucinich was enjoying a glass of fresh squeezed lemonade while fantasizing about leaving homemade explosives in the trash cans by the gymnasium, the teachers lounge, and the library. 
1	Though they first pointed a camera at the NFL writer more than 15 years ago as a prank, producers at ESPN still cannot bear to tell John Clayton they have never actually put him on television. 'It's heartbreaking to watch him standing outside in the snow at one of these stadiums, trying to keep his wispy mound of hair in place, waiting for his big chance to speak in front of a camera that isn't even rolling,' said ESPN executive Kathryn Rich, adding that in order to make Clayton think he is on the air, producers will often have an intern pose as an ESPN anchor and ask him follow-up questions. 'I don't know why he ever believed we would actually put a guy like him on TV, but it's too late now.' To keep the ruse going, ESPN officials were forced to arrange a mock induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame for Clayton four years ago and are still paying Clayton's wife, a prostitute they hired in 1996, to tell him how good he was on television that particular night. 
3	Media Now Calling Patriots Hate GroupsYoutube 
1	Allen Wohl, a 33-year-old associate sales manager at M&H Marketing, got a little crazy at Tuesday's annual office holiday party, held from 2 to 3 p.m. in the third-floor conference room. Sales manager Allen Wohl, whose zany behavior at a recent holiday office party was described by fellow M&H Marketing employees as 'certifiable.' The combination Christmas and New Year's party, thrown in November to avoid conflicting with M&H Marketing's traditional December busy season, was highlighted by Wohl's irreverent antics, which included silly faces, impersonations of co-workers and humorous poses atop a desk. 'Allen has always been known as M&H's resident cut-up, but he really cut loose at the party,' promotions coordinator Janice Larkspahr said. 'At one point, he made a bullhorn out of a paper plate and sang the Gilligan's Island theme song, only he changed the lyrics to be about people in our office. You don't even want to know what he said about [senior sales manager] Richard [Stenstrup].' 'That Allen Wohl is one certified nutball,' secretary Irene Utter said. 'When he picked up that tray of punch cups and pretended to be a British waiter, I almost died laughing. Where does he come up with that stuff?' Asked for comment on the incident, Wohl said, 'What can I say? I'm a wild and crazy guy!' The highlight of the party, most members of the M&H Marketing team agreed, came when Wohl presented 'awards' to his co-workers. 'My certificate said 'Most Likely To Leave The Presentation On The Plane,' said sales supervisor Randall Talish, who last December left a proposal for a $26,000 Tru-Bilt Windows & Siding ad campaign on a flight from Los Angeles. 'I've got to admit, he really got me good with that one. I was hoping everyone had forgotten about that goof-up by now, but leave it to Allen to give me heck.' The hour-long party, which also featured cake, soda, festive yellow streamers and a rousing game of Scattergories, was deemed a success by all. 'I was having so much fun, I almost didn't want to go back to work,' associate marketing supervisor Sheila Duckett said. 'Allen sure was in rare form.' Those who work closely with Wohl said the behavior was typical of the man they call 'M&H's answer to Jay Leno.' 'Allen's a real prankster,' fellow sales manager Gene Budzig said. 'I remember that one time last month, when Bill McCullers was saying all morning that he had to make sure to FedEx a proposal that day, but when he went to drop off the package, Wohl told him the FedEx guy had just left. You should've seen the look on Bill's face when Allen told him he was just kidding! Boy, was he relieved!' In addition to playing pranks on co-workers, Wohl expresses his unorthodox personality by decorating his cubicle in an offbeat manner. Adorning his workspace is a Far Side mousepad, an Executive Stress-Relief Koosh Ball, novelty windshield-wiper sunglasses, a Dilbert screen-saver, and a framed sign that reads, 'There Is No 'I' In 'Team'... But Fortunately, There Is One In 'Vacation'!' Wohl also has an arsenal of humorous quips he has used throughout his seven years with M&H Marketing, including, 'Time to make the donuts,' which he proclaims upon arriving at work each morning, and 'Cha-ching!' which he shouts after closing a deal with a new client. Though M&H employees settled down and returned to their normal work routines shortly after the party, a resurgence in excitement over it is expected Friday, when office manager Jan Schenkle will get her roll of pictures back from Walgreen's. Schenkle, who is in charge of compiling the office newsletter, said she plans to display the photos on the break-room bulletin board. 'When those pictures come back, Allen is going to hear about his crazy shenanigans from everybody all over again,' Schenkle said. 'I just hope we got a good shot of him balancing that plate of cake on his head.' Wohl said he enjoys all the attention. 'I've always loved the spotlight,' he said. 'It's a real kick to be able to make your co-workers laugh. Of course, I can't be a card all the time, or our department's productivity would take a major hit. Still, it's nice to go off the deep end every once in a while.' 
1	Confirming that its all come down to this, the nations girlfriends admitted Thursday that, despite anything they may have said or implied in the past, absolutely everything hinges on the outcome of this Valentines Day. Describing the evening as the indisputable make-or-break moment of our relationships, the girlfriends explained that if Valentines Day fails, in any way, to live up to their standards, or if at any point they sense that not enough effort went into the occasion, then things are as good as over. Look, Im gonna cut the shit here: Ive basically funneled all my hopes for the future into this one night in which my boyfriend must achieve perfection, or else were through, Virginia Beach area girlfriend Jenna Boyce, 27, told reporters, noting that she will be able to tell immediately if her boyfriend cheaps out on the flowers he has bought her or throws his gift together at the very last minute. I expect an amazing, thoughtful, nearly flawless experience, one that is simultaneously fun and romantic, and a night I will remember for the rest of my life. Anything short of that, and I walk. I know Ive stated in the past that I believe Valentines Day is dumb and that its a commercial holiday and that it doesnt matter to me, but I was lying, Boyce added, in total concurrence with every other girlfriend in the country. That was total horseshit. I, in fact, care more about this than anything, by far. The nations girlfriends admitted to reporters, and to anyone who cared to know, that nothing their boyfriends have ever done for them in the past, including any and all good deeds previously rendered, will matter in the slightest if they dont make tomorrow a day to remember. The assembled women then confirmed that they expect the following things tomorrow, and they dont give one flying fuck if these expectations make them appear either old-fashioned, demanding, or unrealistic: flowers; repeated romantic gestures and signs of physical affection; compliments; assorted gifts of an emotionally resonant nature; a dinner that is sufficiently high-end yet also warm and intimate; two to three fond recollections of the relationships origins; an outfit and attention to personal dress on the part of the boyfriend that shows he cares; extended eye contact; highly engaged conversation; no spared details; no mistakes; no jokes that in any way undermine the seriousness and romantic gravity of the evening; no mention of money or cost; and a minimum of 25 utterances of the word love. And if you dont like it, that is too fucking bad, because this is the attitude I am walking into tomorrow with and there is nothing you or anyone else can do to alter or subdue that attitude, said Seattle area girlfriend Sonia Moreno, 31, noting that Valentines Day will be the sole metric she will use to gauge her boyfriends worth and romantic commitment. Thats the reality. Its all come down to this. And so, come tomorrow, I suppose myself and every girlfriend in America will find out for sure if their relationship has a future or not. The nations girlfriends also confirmed that if their boyfriends are able to go all out and make tomorrow truly special, then there is no reason why they couldnt make a similar effort on every other day of the year too. 
3	Could a New Constitutional Convention Be on the Horizon?Joshua Krause One little-known way to change the Constitution is for the states to come together and call for a new constitutional convention. In a way, this right exists as another series of checks and balances; except in this case, its not between the executive, judicial, and legislative branches. This check on power stands between the states and the Federal Government. So far, 29 state bodies have called for a new convention, with the majority of these decisions coming from conservative states. With the slew of Republican victories last month, we may soon see that number increase to 34 states, which is the bare minimum required to call for a new convention. Two states, California and Vermont, have called for a convention to overturn the Supreme Courts Citizens United decision that permits huge amounts of unregulated money into federal campaigns. Larry Sabato, a University of Virginia political scientist, wants a convention to adopt sweeping changes, including a single six-year presidential term and concomitant House and Senate terms, to create more of a parliamentary system. Petitions to adopt term limits for members of Congress have circulated for years. But much of the current impetus comes from fervent fiscal conservatives. This includes calls for an amendment requiring a balanced budget and other restraints on the federal governments spending and taxation powers. A constitutional convention is a rallying cry for right-wing talk-radio hosts such as Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin; the idea has been endorsed by Senators Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Oklahomas Tom Coburn, both conservative Republicans. An influential backer is the American Legislative Exchange Council, known as ALEC, an organization of conservative state legislators and private sector lobbyists that advocates for corporate interests. However, many constitutional scholars believe that limits cannot be placed on a convention; if one were convened, anything could be up for consideration. A convention can propose what they think is appropriate, says Michael Paulsen, a professor at the University of St. Thomas law school in Minneapolis who is an expert on the issue. There is no good theory under which the convention can be limited to specific topics far less to a specific proposed text. And therein lies the problem. If a convention were called, anything could happen. Even though the movement would be led by conservatives, theres no stopping liberals from adding their input. Even if they got what they wanted, would liberal states stand idly by and let their government be changed to suit the needs of conservatives? Remember, the American public tends shift back and forth between Republicans and Democrats every decade or so. Whos to say that the country wouldnt lean back to the left a few years down the road? We could find ourselves facing another convention lead by liberal states. Im not saying that either one of these parties could build a better government. No matter what your political persuasion is, our dysfunctional government has been built by generations of corrupt Republicans and Democrats, and theyll be the ones who get to correct the law of the land. And for those of you who are staunch conservatives, keep in mind what would happen if you had your way with the Constitution. If the past 8 years under Obama has seemed like hell to you, how do you think the liberals will feel about living under a more conservative Constitution? Like I said, political opinion tends to swing back and forth in this country. If anything, calling for a convention could be the start of a tug-of-war between the states. Theres no telling what well be left with when the dust settles. Another factor we have to consider is, whos to say that the convention would be led by liberals or conservatives? As it stand now, both political parties take their marching orders from the banks and corporations. Behind the scenes, our government is run by a handful of influential people. If they can hijack our political process, theres no stopping them from getting their grubby hands all over the states convention. These people know no political ideology, no national boundaries, and no scruples. They view us with contempt, and consider us as nothing more than cash cows. I shudder to think of what the Constitution will look like after that. At the end of the day, America is faced with irreconcilable differences. There are those who want to expand government in certain ways, and those who want to curtail it. Those who want to project our military power across the globe, and those who want our troops to come home. Some want to expand the welfare state, and some think government has no business in charity. Then theres abortion, religion, guns, drugs, and immigration, and on and on. This country is filled with millions of people, who all have very different ideas on how society should be structured. If the United States is going to survive the 21st century, then there is only one way it can be done. The Federal Government must be curtailed at every level, and the states must be free to pursue whatever kind of ideology their citizens see fit to live under. Let there be socialist welfare states, conservative republics, and minimalist libertarian enclaves. Let the people vote with their feet, and move to states that fit their beliefs, and let these states rise and fall on their own merit. As it stands now, our nation is tearing at the seams, and we havent been so divided since the Civil War. Likewise, if the United States isnt decentralized soon, and if large swaths of the country are forced to live under a majority they despise, this nation is going to burn. And no constitutional convention led by either Democrats or Republicans is going to save us. 
3	EMF Health Alert Issued by Former Silicon Valley Tech Expert: Wireless Wake-Up CallBy Kevin Samson A prominent neuroscientist has gone on record in a lecture to the medical community itself where he exposed the many health risks as well as an industry-wide attempt by telecom to cover up the negative consequences. A world-renown biochemist has sought to abolish WiFi in schools. And a British ER physician has made it her mission to educate people about what steps they can take to minimize exposure and damage to WiFi. A slew of peer-review scientific studies have supported the warnings of these experts. It is also becoming clear that it is not a purely anti-tech Luddite crowd who distrusts the bill of goods we are being sold by the government and industry about the safety of modern devices. Case in point is the must-see video below the first ever TEDx talk which has focused on the health risks of wireless technology. The talk is given by Jeromy Johnson, a former Silicon Valley tech employee with a masters degree in engineering who, himself, began to feel negative impacts from his exposure to wireless radiation. What has come to be known as Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity, hundreds of thousands of people have reported mild to severe symptoms from exposure to EMF sources. In fact, the condition has been officially recognized as valid in Sweden where a peer-reviewed paper documented a large survey that established the veracity of the claims. Please read Catherine Frompovichs excellent article detailing the specifics of these Environmental Refugees HERE. Adding emphasis to Jeromys personal story is the fact that his wife is a medical doctor hardly a duo of conspiracy-inclined paranoiacs. Jeromys wake-up call comes at a critical time, as we are seeing a massive roll-out of city-wide initiatives that will blanket public space with WiFi, essentially eradicating any possibility of opting out. Combined with smart meters and the entire smart cities agenda, we are looking at millions upon millions of people who will be crippled by Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity, and possibly killed by the carcinogenic properties of microwave radiation. Most importantly, this TEDx discussion focuses on solutions. As youll see, regulatory agencies are not to be relied upon to protect our health; we must take responsibility for our health unto ourselves. This is also not about returning to some pre-tech age, but simply ensuring that the technology we are employing is properly and independently tested. In fact, the solution to this compromised tech, Jeromy asserts, is tech itself but used in a much more responsible way. Please learn all you can and share your findings with others who certainly wont get this information from establishment sources. Are you suffering from Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity? Please share your story, thoughts and solutions in the comment section. Please visit Jeromy Johnsons website EMFanalysis.com to learn more about how to protect your family from EMF pollution. H/T: Take Back Your Power Kevin Samson writes for selfnewsPost.com. This article may be freely shared in part or in full with author attribution and source link. Monsanto loves this. I suspect Monsanto might even be behind this guy. Said it before and Ill say it again humanity has been living in an ocean of EMF for almost 70 years and during that time live span has increased. You can take that for a flippant correlation or not. Unless you stick your head into a microwave oven and turn it on, there is no proof low level EMF is harmful. Im glad hes bringing attention to this very important issue. This is yet another slow-kill way of depopulation. We still have wifi at home but I always turn it off at night. At the very least we can sleep/regenerate with lesser exposure. Culling of Mankind. Evil knows no boundaries. Be careful what you think you need. 
1	YOSEMITE VILLAGE, CARock climber Scott Prichard, 31, who has spent the last 48 hours with his legs pinned under a boulder on Glacier Point, is reportedly bracing himself for a possible interview on Good Morning America. 'God, Charles Gibson, that chubby weatherman with the wisecracks,' a sweat- and urine-soaked Prichard said. 'I pray Diane Sawyer doesn't ask me if I wanted to climb the Point 'because it was there.' I just would not be able to stomach that kind of inane chit-chat.' Prichard then passed out from the intense pain. 
2	Obamas 19 Year Old Son He Has Been Hiding Finally Comes Forward To Public Recently, The Onion reported that Obamas 19-year-old son Luther made an appearance at the Democratic National Convention. The article commented that the little-known teenager lives with his mother in central Illinois, and has hardly been associated with the first family. The reports state that Luther was born in 1993 to a 24-year-old diner cashier named Andrea Pletcherwho Obama met during a trip to Springfield. And they went on to report that Obama continues to support his son, but communications dropped off when he became president. And while the article is likely made up entirely of rumor or fiction, the sad part about it is it COULD be true. Think about itwhat do we really know about the President? We still dont even know where he was born. Hes yet to provide proof of his backgroundon anything ranging from his origin to his religious beliefs. And then there are countless rumors of infidelity, which could likely result in an illegitimate child. What do you think? Is Obama one of the worst Presidents weve ever seen? 
2	Clinton Foundation Is Crumbling... Bill And Hillary Finished It has been a rough month for the Clinton family. Not only did Hillary Clinton lose the election to her rival, but the Clinton Foundation is quickly sinking along with her political career. Now, it appears even their income from paid speeches has taken a hit. According to NY Post, donations to the Clinton Foundation took a nose dive last year and lasted through Hillarys presidential run. The situation was amplified by pay-to-play allegations, internal struggles, and an investigation by a charity watchdog. Contributions fell by nearly 37 percent, down to $108 million from $172 million just two years earlier. Cash also plummeted when Hillary left the nonprofit in April 2015 to set her sights on the presidency. The foundation was brought up repeatedly throughout the race, with Donald Trump vowing to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate it. Although Trumps position on the matter has fluctuated, Rep. Jason Chaffetz of the House Oversight Committee insists a probe into the charity will continue. The revenue the Clintons brought in from their public appearances and speeches also plunges, falling to $357,500 from $3.6 million in just one year. When the Clinton Global Initiative held its annual conference in Fall of 2015, many donors had already bailed. What do you think? Are the Clintons finally paying for their decades of manipulated, self-indulgent behavior? 
3	Use of secretive Stingray FBI cell phone tracking tool ruled lawful by judgeMadison Ruppert This case could quite unfortunately have wide-ranging effects on how the government conducts the type of dragnet surveillance enabled by the Stingray device. Interestingly, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) also recently received a new batch of documents from the FBI about the Stingray. On Wednesday, Judge David Campbell dismissed the motion to suppress the information gathered through the Stingray device in the case of Daniel Rigmaiden. Campbell refused to dismiss the motion even though the ACLU pointed out in an amicus brief that by failing to apprise the magistrate that it intended to use a stingray, what the device is, and how it works, it prevented the judge from exercising his constitutional function of ensuring that warrants are not overly intrusive and all aspects of the search are supported by probable cause. This is precisely the issue that has been raised in previous coverage of this technology. Campbell ruled that the warrant was valid and the suspect did not have an expectation of privacy society is willing to accept as legitimate. According to Campbell, since Rigmaiden allegedly rented the apartment and purchasedthe computer fraudulently using false identities, Rigmaiden could not credibly argue that he had a legitimate expectation of privacy. Campbell ruled that the use of the Stingray did not in fact constitute a severe intrusion and ruled that no Fourth Amendment violation occurred. The ACLU said that this ruling trivializes the intrusive nature of electronic searches and potentially opens the door to troubling government misuse of new technology. According to the ACLU, the judge dismissed the significance of the Stingrays ability to gather data from innocent third parties who just happen to be in the area. The violation arises from the fact that the government searched people who are not suspected of any wrongdoing, the ACLU stated. This is a violation even if the government doesnt later use the information against those third parties. Todays decision sends the troubling message to the government that its alright to withhold information from courts about new technology, which means that the law will have an even harder time catching up, the ACLUs Linda Lye wrote. Among the formerly secret, heavily redacted FBI documents on Stingray released by EPIC are pages which reveal that the FBI has in fact been imposing non-disclosure agreements on its staff. Those non-disclosure agreements specifically block their agents from publicly disclosing any information related to the Stingray technology. Furthermore, the non-disclosure agreements state, Information bearing the LES [Law Enforcement Sensitive] caveat may not be used in legal proceedings without first receiving authorization from the originating agency.

1	San Mateo 17-year-old Evan Campos announced Monday that Jessica Roth, 14, the previously unnoticed sister of best friend Andrew Roth, had 'really grown a lot' since he last saw her and was now 'looking pretty good.' San Mateo 17-year-old Evan Campos, who recently announced that his best friend's sister, Jessica Roth (inset), is 'looking pretty good.' 'I used to see Jessica a lot when I went over to Andrew's house, and I was always like, whatever,' Campos said. 'But I hadn't seen her in awhile, since she was at music camp all summer, and she's really, you know, grown up a lot. I'd have to say she's definitely looking good.' 'Oh, man,' Campos added, 'I used to see her running around without a shirt when she was like seven. That is so freaky.' Andrew Roth, who has been best friends with Campos since the two were in second grade, was 'seriously weirded out' by the announcement. 'Evan came by Sunday night to play some Tekken, and my sister was in her room in her pajamas, doing homework or something. Her door was open, and he was, like, totally checking her out,' Roth said. 'Then, like an hour later, when I went to take a piss break, he went over and tried to start up a conversation with her, asking her what she was studying and shit. I was like, 'Dude, what the fuck's up with you? That's my sister!'' Roth, who has declared his sister strictly off-limits to Campos, said he would not hesitate to beat the shit out of his best friend if he tried anything. Campos has assured Roth that he has no intentions of making a play for his sister, telling him, 'Dude, relax.' When asked for comment, Jessica Roth ran into her room giggling. 
1	Helping to devise the Republican presidential nominees strategy for his upcoming debates against Barack Obama, campaign adviser Kevin A. Hassett recommended appealing to viewers by maybe throwing an old sheet or blanket over Mitt Romney for the duration of the contests, sources reported Wednesday. I think we just take an old quilt or painting drop cloth and throw it right over his head before opening statements. Nothing too nice, though, Hall reportedly suggested to Romney campaign staff, adding that they could secure the edges of a tarp with rocks or bungee cords so it doesnt blow off. It might not cover him up all the way, but as long as its over his head and torso, thatll be fine. I think viewers will really respond to that. This could be a real game-changer. Hassett added that at the end of each debate, campaign volunteers could simply fold Romney up, drag him onto a flatbed truck, and haul him off to his next appearance. For live coverage of tonight's debate, follow @selfnewsPolitics starting at 9 p.m. EDT/8 p.m. CDT.

3	New Emergency Drills Simulate Nuclear Explosion In NebraskaBrandon Turbeville This very reason is perhaps why many are raising their eyebrows at a drill scheduled for tomorrow and Wednesday (September 16-17) in Nebraska which simulates a nuclear explosion near I-80 in the vicinity of Scottsbluff. As reported by the local ABC News affiliate KOTA News, Regional West Medical Center is scheduled to participate in the drill in the capacity of training to decontaminate victims, ensure accurate reporting, and treating injuries. The drill is part of a larger exercise involving 21 government agencies. Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Dave Edwards stated that Every time we do an exercise, it is to test our plans. Not necessarily how the staff reacts, but are our plans in place correct. Last year, the same hospital worked with staff to prepare for a live shooter scenario. While it is important to stress that this writer is not predicting a false flag event during the time of this scheduled exercise, it is also important to stress the prevalence of such drills in false flag operations. Without a doubt, the mainstream media and U.S. government has been attempting to reinforce the possibility that ISIS or other terrorists may engage in nuclear attacks here in the United States as a type of predictive programming. Indeed, one hallmark of the false flag operation is the running of drills shortly before or during the actual attack. Many times, these drills will involve the actual sequence of events that takes place during the real life attack. These drills have been present on large-scale false flags such as 9/11 as well as smaller-scale attacks like the Aurora shooting. For instance, as Webster Tarpley documents in his book 9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made In USA, at least 46 drills were underway in the months leading up to 9/11 and on the morning of the attack. These 46 drills were all directly related to the events which took place on 9/11 in some way or other.[1] Likewise, the 7/7 bombings in London were running drills of exactly the same scenario that was occurring at exactly the same times and locations. Although one reason may take precedence over the other depending on the nature and purpose of the operation, drills are used by false flag operators for at least two reasons. One such purpose is the creation of intentional confusion if the drill is taking place during the actual attack. The other, more effective aspect, however, is using the drill as a cloak to plan the attack or even go live when it comes time to launch the event. Even more so, it gives the individuals who are involved in the planning of the event an element of cover, especially with the military/intelligence agencys tight chain of command structure and need-to-know basis. If a loyal military officer or intelligence agent stumbles upon the planning of the attack, that individual can always be told that what he has witnessed is nothing more than the planning of a training exercise. This deniability continues all the way through to the actual going live of the drill. After the completion of the false flag attack, Coincidence Theory is used to explain away the tragic results.[2] Notes: [1] Tarpley, Webster Griffin. 9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made In USA. 5th Edition.

3	Utah Garden Challenge for SuckersCassandra Anderson, Contributor The Utah Garden Challenge is a voluntary contest to register 10,000 gardens. The data mining project has a broad interest in any resource who is growing food: Whether you grow a tomato in a pot, a row in a community garden, have backyard gardens, a CSA or working fruit and vegetable farm, we want to hear from you because you are an important resource as a food producer. While the contest paints a proud face on independent food production, it is important to remember that registering with the government sets up a system to track, tax, permit or confiscate the registered item. Gun ownership is a good example of this scheme. According to a pop-up window on the official website, participants gardens will be registered with the USDAs National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS): We need to know how much food is being produced in Utah. The Census of Agriculture is done every 5 years. Every agricultural operation in Utah, regardless of size, is vital to this question. If you produce $1000 of agricultural products, you can influence economic development and decision making by filling out a NASS survey. We will only share your information with NASS by your permission. Your response to the census of agriculture is protected by law. For more information, you can go to www.agcensus.gov. Victory gardens in America produced up to 40% of all vegetables consumed during World War II, with over 20 millon home gardens and community plots that produced over 9 million tons of food. The USDA is notorious for its corrupt partnerships and revolving door business relationships with big commercial agriculture. Government Crackdowns Food Control Food is under attack because if you can grow your own food, have access to water and shelter, then what use do you have for a government master? The federal government has profoundly overstepped its constitutional authority on all fronts, and there are a number of examples of the USDAs outrageous control over food that include SWAT team raids on raw milk sellers and fruit tree confiscation. The Food Safety Modernization Act expanded the power of the FDA and its sister agency, the USDA. The law is bad for many reasons and is an overwhelming burden on small and independent farmers due to over-regulation and increase in paperwork and reporting. Additionally, the FBI identifies people who store food as potential terrorists! Why Is Utah a Threat? 1. A few months ago Utah voted down a Food Freedom Bill that would have made it a crime for anyone, including Utah state agents, to enforce the Food Safety Modernization Acts unconstitutional mandates. It would have made farmers who trade only inside of state lines exempt. The bill was a direct constitutional challenge to federal overreach. 2. Highland City, Utah passed a Food Freedom ordinance tha exempts residents from federal regulations on food that is produced, exchanged and consumed within city limits (state laws still apply). 3. Utah has the largest concentration of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as Mormons) who have an official policy of food storage, currently set at a 1-year minimum supply. This may be construed as a threat by the FBI, especially since a 1-year supply of food cancost as little as $225. Conclusion Survivalist.com points out that the Utah Garden Challenge is linked to the United Nations Agenda 21 Sustainable Development plan for totalitarian control. The Utah Garden Challenge is enticing Utahans with meager prizes (a 1-in-1000 chance of winning a giftcard or free restaurant dinner) to register their gardens and subject themselves to invasive government data mining. But is your food independence worth it? This article first appeared at Morphcity, a great resource for information about Agenda 21, the environment, and the globalist agenda.

3	Indiana Bill Takes On Policing for Profit Via Asset Forfeiture, Closes Federal LoopholeBy Mike Maharrey Sen. PhilBoots (R-Crawfordsville) introduced Senate Bill 8 (SB8) on Jan. 3. The legislation would reform Indiana law by requiring a criminal conviction before prosecutors could proceed with asset forfeiture.Under current law, the state can seize assets even if a person is never found guilty of a crime, or even arrested. SB8 also closes a 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 proposed law would repeal Section 9 IC34-24-1-9 permitting the state to turn over seized property to the federal government. 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. For example, California previously had some of the strongest state-level restrictions on civil asset forfeiture in the country, but law enforcement would often bypass the state restrictions by partnering with a federal asset forfeiture program known as equitable sharing. Under these arrangements, state officials would simply hand over forfeiture prosecutions to the federal government and then receive up to 80 percent of the proceedseven when state law banned or limited the practice. According to a report by the Institute for Justice,Policing for Profit, California ranked dead last of all states in the country between 2000 and 2013 as the worst offender. During the 2016 legislative session, the state closed the loophole. 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. A second bill introduced in the Indiana Senate (SB26) would implement similar reforms to the states asset forfeiture laws, but would not close the federal loophole. SB8 was referred to the House Committee on Corrections and Criminal Law. It will need to pass the committee by a majority vote before moving on to the full Senate for further consideration.

2	Authorities Arrest Kingpin Drug Lord El Chapo, You Wont Believe Where They Are Taking Him Authorities in Mexico have found and arrested the nortorious kingpin Joaquin El Chapo Guzman. However, people are more focused on where hes being taken. Guzman is being sent back to Altiplano, the same prison he was able to escape from last year. Clearly this is not such a great idea. Guzman was forced to pose for pictures before being taken to a helicopter to fly him to the maximum security prison. Guzman was caught while trying to move across the country. This is a dangerous man. We are thankful the Mexican authorities were on top of it. Do you think its a bad idea to bring El Chapo back to the prison he escaped from? 
1	Overcome by a profound feeling of dread and helplessness as the GOP field multiplied before their eyes, voters at Scott Walkers press conference yesterday, in which the Wisconsin governor announced he was exiting the presidential race, reportedly looked on in horror as three new Republican contenders appeared on stage in place of the former candidate. The moment Scott Walker said he was suspending his campaign, there they were, smiling and waving to the crowdit was incredibly frightening, said local resident Jordan Ottinger, who recalled the wave of terrified gasps that washed over the room when those in attendance began to realize that the clean-cut middle-aged men in suits who suddenly showed up behind Walker were each accompanied by a full staff of aides and supporters holding campaign signs. They just materialized, fully formed and already talking about conservative values. The scariest thing is that Walker was clearly defeated, but these candidates look fresh and strong, like they might have enough money and support to keep campaigning all the way to the primaries. My God, what do we do? Sources confirmed that the crowd then began screaming and scattered in fear as the three new candidates descended from the dais and attempted to shake their hands.

Someday well die, but thats just a part of life. And even Grandma wont die until youre much older, okay? Now, get some sleep and try not to think about it. At press time, reports indicated Eli was lying wide-awake in the darkness of his room calculating exactly how old he would be when he died. 
2	American Gunman Assassinates Three Muslim Students Execution Style According to recent reports, Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, was recently arrested after shooting three young Muslims near the University of North Carolina. Hicks was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. The three victims, ranging from 19 to 23 years old, were found shot in the head. Now, Muslim activists are demanding that the U.S. state and federal authorities investigate the suspect for hate crimes. Protesters have also taken to social media with the hashtag #MuslimLivesMatter. As it turns out, Hicks was a member of the Atheists for Equality group, known for being hostile toward all religions. Chapel Hill police are still investigating what could have led to the shooting, noting that there had been an ongoing dispute about parking between the parties. Police could not be reached to confirm the report. 
3	Monsanto Crimes Against Humanity Tribunal Officially Begins October 14th In Hague NetherlandsBy Bernie Suarez On the heels of the revelation that the Pentagon paid a UK PR firm to produce fake terrorism videos for the purposes of manufacturing civil unrest and conflict (like we didnt know that already) in Iraq, its nice to see that more and more of the ruling elites plans are now being widely revealed for the world to see who the bad guys are and how they operate. In an information war which guarantees to be a roller-coaster of emotions for truth seekers involving both moments of hopefulness and helplessness it is now revealed that the environmental terrorist organization known as Monsanto will officially be the target of what amounts to a crimes against humanity (and the planet) tribunal in Hague Netherlands officially beginning on Friday October 14, 2016. This tribunal will consist of five international judges listening to the testimonies of thirty witnesses and experts from around the world as they tell their stories profiling the nature of Monsantos environmental terrorism on humanity and the planet. A website dedicated to this tribunal (monsantotribunal.org) details some of the background and specifics surrounding the goals of this upcoming tribunal: Critics of Monsanto claim that the company has been able to ignore the human and environmental damage caused by its products and pursue it devastating activities through a systematic concealment strategy through lobbying regulators and government authorities, lying, corruption, commissioning bogus scientific studies, putting pressure on independent scientists, and manipulating the press. Our endeavor is based on the observation that only through civic action will we be able to achieve compensation for victims of the American multinational. The procedures are a veritable obstacle course for the victims. They are reluctant to invest time and money in litigation, especially since there is no reason to believe in a positive outcome. Frequently, when a company like Monsanto is the defendant, the company settles out of court, whereby circumventing the establishment of a negative legal precedent. General purpose of the Tribunal: To get a ruling- even symbolic against Monsanto by a bench of real judges, after veritable proceedings in an international court, and contribute to the establishment of international mechanisms to bring justice to victims of multinationals. Specific objectives: As you can see, this tribunal is only looking to set the groundwork for a system that needs to be in place for not only halting all of Monsantos global genocidal activities but for eventually holding the criminals that run Monsanto and the conspirators who invest in this terrorist entity accountable for their direct and indirect crimes against humanity. Interestingly this tribunal holds Monsanto to the standards of the UNs Agenda 21/Agenda 2030 which calls for things like sustainable environment, the right to eat healthy food, the right to the enjoyment of the highest standard of health, and even the violation of the freedom of scientific research. Above and beyond all of this, the very serious question of Monsantos outright war crimes against humanity will be posed. Ironically these questions will ultimately be posed to the UN, the same system that labels the natural and necessary nutrient known as CO2 a pollutant, so it will be interesting to say the least to see what if anything comes of this on the part of the United Nations. That the UN labels CO2, arguably the most necessary compound in the planet (O2 notwithstanding) as a pollutant but needs to be prodded and pushed to recognize Monsantos obvious callous crimes against humanity and nature is alarming in and of itself. While CO2 is the source of all plant life on Earth and thus central to life as we know it, Monsanto has poisoned the planet with their GMO seeds and glyphosate-laced Roundup (admitted to be toxic by the CDC) which has caused irreversible damage to the planet and humanity. The spectrum of genetic and biochemical damage caused by Monsantos poisons range from the unnecessary murder of tiny insects needed for the ecologic balance of nature to the destruction and killing of plants around the world, to the poisoning of animals and humans as rates of birth defects, cancer, endocrine disruption and much more have all risen, many which have been associated with Monsanto-like poisons. You may be wondering, how did we get here? As the tribunal summary indicates, by greed and corruption. Monsanto has employed the same model as the vaccine industry; make profits, pay hush money to those that are injured or killed by your product, and wage an information war of propaganda against your enemies even as the scientific community admits there is no proof that GMOs are safe and scientific evidence proves that GMOs are directly associated with the development of tumors in rats (Seralini study) when given for a duration of time comparable to the lifespan of that creature (unlike the Monsantos deceptive 6 month studies with rats). In the worst-case scenario I believe this will at least serve as a formal record for the future of humanity to see the criminal actions of Monsanto, and hopefully it will be a stepping stone toward justice and accountability even if it borrows the new world orders language of sustainability and prosperity. If Monsanto is not held criminally responsible for their crimes against humanity this will also tell you all you need to know about the true nature of the pseudo global authority known as the United Nations, which to this day has no credibility when it comes to true justice and human rights worldwide. Failure to take decisive action against Monsantos atrocities against humanity and the planet will offer an opportunity to once again prove the fraudulent front that the UN represents in the first place. Lets not forget the UN is also the useless official government body of the new world order conveniently created by the ruling elite themselves after world war 2. Thus getting ones hopes up too high about this upcoming tribunal without acknowledging the true nature and commitment of the UN is naive. 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. Even tho, albeit, Symbolicit will still be the TRUTH judged by an honorable impartial world body of elder peers no amount of wiggling dancing/smoke mirrors of mass distraction or misdirection, will in the end, obfuscate the 0.01% culpability, once this precedent is is formally chiseled in stone with the facts surrounding this attempted monopolistic Demo/Genocide regardless of protestations otherwise from the NWO entourage of Liar/LawyersQuestion is?is it too little too late?or is this the beginning of the turnaround? The fact youre asking that question shows youre hopefull to the point of being naive or something else. A PEOPLE DESERVE ANY REGIME THRY ENDURE. Not everyone deserves punishment as there are those of us that have been spreading the word about Monsanto and their minions for a long time. agreed. We have been shouting about it..I personally boycott any GMO products and companies that have supported Monsanto. I have spoken to numerous stores that sell Round up to urge them o take it off their shelves. More people are now shopping farmers markets and organic foods have skyrocketed in purchases madewe are doing what we can and it is my earnest hope that Monsanto gets more than a wrist slapping here. Naive?How about having a balanced perspective in spite of it all? Lets make sure we dont lose sight of the bottom line that the work of MonSatan, Syngenta, et al, is aimed at the PATENTING of LIFE, to CONTROL the FOOD SUPPLY. Once we are shut out of all forms of protest, Franken GE creations will be spread even more widely across the globe, in the water, air, and food, and in medical science and we will have a much harder time fighting back. Believe me, Precision Genetic Engineering is being much more aggressively pursued by the global elite in their institutions around the world than you are being told. This is a line in the sand, folks, as it will contaminate the earth and our bodies and ways most cannot begin to imagine. Every time I mention I.G.Farben the old Nazis their scoin as the present day CEOs of huge chemical corporation behemoths with on-going (since the 1930s at least) genetic / synthetic research into vaccines GMOs etc (sterility agents).attempting to dominate control the world food supplyI usually get moderated.(lol) Problem is the dinosaurs fronts are being strategically positioned. The subtle intelligence nudge for the last ~ 2 years has been to support MonSatans role as a lightening rod, esp. for anti-GMO activists. In that way, few to none perceived the rapid global spread of precision GE and other more refined methods of using gene analysis on non GE hybrids via (1) subsidiary tentacles of Monsanto et al; and (2) the majority of projects through research institutions, largely academic. Seductive and enticing, different from the older technology = great need to convey the more abstract danger of patents and environmental contamination. Tough sell in the ADHD-text-soundbite mindset. Cant even get a revolt with pics of Seralinis tumor riddled rats. I know all about being censured. At the bottom of this page there is a massive link detailing depopulation from many different links. bibliotecapleyades.net/esp_sociopol_igfarben.htm Vaccines have glysophate in them. Monsatano close your doors for good.You are guilty of poisoning the world. Will the court be presented with any of the evidence contained in Steven Drukers excellent book Altered Genes, Twisted Truth? He traced the development and expansion of GMOs from internal government documents and the story is one of corruption most vile. a tribunal inquiry should be done on fukushima as well. Is this whole agenda to make the UN look good? The Indians are taking their case to the UN too. What it seems like to me is US is allowing this blatant corruption to happen so the UN will look like the good guys. Thus we will accept NWO. Will the tribunal be made public? Can it be watched live stream? What time is it scheduled? Anyone? Bernie Suarez?? Will you keep us posted please. Its time for these monsters to go down for good! 
2	Trey Gowdy Sends Hillary Clinton One Last MASSIVE Middle Finger Before The Election [WATCH] Yesterday, just one day before Election Day, Congressman Trey Gowdy gave one final statement about FBI Director James Comeys update on the Hillary Clinton investigation. Well, I kind of focused on the seminal word in his letter which is the word conclusions plural, Gowdy commented. Not singular, plural. He had a lot of conclusions in July, including she was extremely careless in the way she handled classified information, Gowdy continued. She didnt turn over her work email and she both sent and received email including that which was marked classified. But Gowdy didnt stop there. Ten days ago we didnt know that Huma Abedin had failed to turn over all of her devices, Gowdy concluded. Investigations are never over unless a statute of limitations has expired or jeopardy is attached. So this investigation is over based on what they know, but they dont know what they dont knowCan you imagine having the closing argument of having to spend the day before a general election having to say the FBI was not able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt every element of a criminal offense? If that is the closing argument for a presidential candidate, they got other problems. What do you think? Do you agree with Gowdy? Is Clinton unqualified to be our president? 
3	Breaking Bread: Student Punished for Sharing LunchHeather Callaghan Here we have a school that has a policy, not with safety in mind only as an afterthought but one that hinges on strict adherence to said policy. Two students were given two different school-prepared lunches. One of the lunches was obviously inadequate, so the classmate gave of his own plate and was met with detention. The problem this writer has with it is the use of zero tolerance force in the lunch room of all places. And when trauma and guilt are inflicted on a student who would otherwise be praised for having a mature character by acting on the very collectivist principles heavily taught in school why, this is just too hard to swallow. Eighth grader Kyle Bradford of Weaverville Elementary School had no idea that breaking bread with a fellow student would cause such an uproar. Were the students gulping from the same milk carton? Were they taking turns playing airplane with hot oatmeal? Were they doing that Lady and the Tramp thing with one long spaghetti noodle? No, Kyle simply let his hungry friend have his chicken burrito which means the last person to touch it was probably the cafeteria personnel. It stands to reason that there is less risk involved in this proceeding than the daily sharing of the drinking fountain. Take note: Kyle said his friend couldnt get a normal lunch and that his own uneaten burrito hot off the lunch line was just going to go in the garbage. But policy is more important. The Superintendent said there were other options. Like this? Please sir more porridge! It sounds like Kyles friend had exhausted his options to receive the paltry cheese sandwich he did. I have never seen where students are allowed to have second helpings especially where free lunches are concerned. video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player Superintendent Tom Barnett said: Kyles mother praised his sons indiscretion as kindness and didnt feel the school had any business to discipline him for good manners. Having worked in the school system, one can understand the extreme and tragic results that could arise if a student is exposed to a food allergen in the lunchroom. And sometimes, a student will prank another with the allergen because they dont realize the gravity of such actions. But again, we are talking about two school-prepared lunches given to two students by the school. (So for the Superintendent to suddenly claim safety or allergy threat as an afterthought does not explain the use of punishment in this instance.) Lunchroom workers arenot evenequipped to deal with this type of emergency if it were to happen or to look for lesser known signs. I didnt needthis studyto know that emergency plans for this situation are shoddy at best in the school system. Therefore, it is extra irksome that a school would use such amisguided form of vigilanceto punish a student with no ill intent and do so using no sense of humanity; no common sense. This is not the first lunchtime food fight at a school. In 2012, a student was suspended and interrogated by a cop for bringing a kombucha to drink with his lunch. I wonder if the lab results have come back yet. Likewise, some preschools will only allow home-brought meals if they come with a doctors note. I suppose share and share alike is only valid if it is state-sanctioned. But not for 13 year olds and not if you want to feed the homeless. Social Studies be damned!

3	JPMorgan Hires General Notorious for Extrajudicial KillingsBy Claire Bernish Not that the commander of the 4th Infantry Division whose notorious reputation during the Iraq War included a penchant for indiscriminate, mass detention and extrajudicial killings of civilians was otherwise considering humanitarian work when the megabank advising position happened to open up. It would seem the new role is perfect for Odierno, as he will be advising CEO Jamie Dimon, the Board of Directors, and the Operating Committee with international planning and country risk analysis, technology, operations, and the rapidly evolving issues of physical and cyber security, according to a company statement. JPMorgans statement mentions the ex-generals role with physical security in his upcoming duties, but even a cursory glance at the practices by those under his command in Iraq makes those goals seem, well, questionable. A military intelligence specialist at the time, Sgt. Kayla Williams, said they passed by Odiernos 4th Infantry Division, whose soldiers appeared mean and ugly. They stood on top of their trucks, their weapons pointed directly at civilians . . . What could these locals possibly have done? Why was this intimidation necessary? No one explained anything, but it looked weird and felt wrong. Though troops under Odiernos command were credited with capturing Saddam Hussein, their philosophy which can be summarized as round[ing] up all the military-aged males because they didnt know (or bother to find out) whos good or bad was dubious for transforming erstwhile neutral civilians into willing combatants. In fact, a member of the psychological operations unit attached to Odiernos artillery brigade found it necessary to file a formal complaint concerning those troops treatment of Iraqi civilians. After returning from Iraq, Odierno achieved the rank of Chief of Staff in 2011 while still maintaining his support of the Bush administrations decision to invade the country in the first place. According to The Intercept, he explained earlier this year that Saddam was moving toward terrorism and I believe that if he continued to have problems, we dont know what he would have done in terms of being part of the problem with terrorism. Though Odiernos abrupt transplant from top military commander to high-powered, international banking adviser might have you shaking your head, such a convenient arrangement is far from atypical. As reported in the Boston Globe in 2010, 80% of generals with at least three stars found placement as executives or consultants in the private sector largely within the defense industry nearly immediately upon retirement. Ray has dedicated his life to serving our country, rising to the top of the Army with proven leadership that delivers results, stated Dimon in the announcement of Odiernos new position. His experience, vision and impressive track record of success when confronting overwhelming challenges will provide significant value to our leadership team, the firm and our clients across a wide range of issues. Success, it would seem, is in the eye of the beholder. Claire Bernish writes for theAntiMedia.org. Anti-Media Radio airs weeknights at 11pm Eastern/8pm Pacific.

3	Long-overdue Vaccines Survey Online: Vaccinated v. Non-Vaccinated ChildrenBy Catherine J. Frompovich Since there never has been a formal study done by the U.S. CDC or FDA regarding establishing such demographics and data, I encourage ALL parents and legal guardians to take a few minutes to complete the questionnaire so that there can be a beginning point for discussion, plus point-by-point follow through, regarding parents claims that vaccines tend to make children more sickly than siblings who are not vaccinated. More information can be obtained about this extremely important childrens health project described by Ty Bollinger at https://thetruthaboutcancer.com/are-vaccines-safe-survey/. Participating in this survey will be one of the most important steps parents can take regarding vaccines, safety and effectiveness. 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. Her work has been published in national and airline magazines since the early 1980s. Catherine authored numerous books on health issues along with co-authoring papers and monographs with physicians, nurses, and holistic healthcare professionals. She has been a consumer healthcare researcher 35 years and counting. Catherines latest book, published October 4, 2013, is Vaccination Voodoo, What YOU Dont Know About Vaccines, available on Amazon.com. Her 2012 book A Cancer Answer, Holistic BREAST Cancer Management, A Guide to Effective Non-Toxic Treatments, is available on Amazon.com and as a Kindle eBook. Two of Catherines more recent books on Amazon.com are Our Chemical Lives And The Hijacking Of Our DNA, A Probe Into Whats Probably Making Us Sick (2009) and Lord, How Can I Make It Through Grieving My Loss, An Inspirational Guide Through the Grieving Process (2008) Catherines NEW book: Eat To Beat Disease, Foods Medicinal Qualities 2016 Catherine J Frompovich coming in Summer 2016 Well all the crooks in DC know were not happy with them or any of the alphabet agencies. Cant wait to see the findings of this North Carolina Clinic is done. Boy therell be a lot of angry people calling them rats. I gave up being nice years ago! Yes, this study needs to be done but in a more controlled way. From what I remember something similar was done a few years back and David Gorskis and his online troll minions took great please in creating fake IDs to take the survey and mess with the outcome. They were so pleased with themselves they openly bragged about it on his website. 
3	Vaccination: how the West invades the worldBy Jon Rappoport In the past, Ive laid to rest the illusion that vaccines are safe and effective. Ive also exploded the ridiculous myth of herd immunity. This article is about something else. Its about the invasion staged by Western medicine against areas of the globe where older forms of healing have long prevailed. Vaccination is the prow, the leading edge of the invasion. Convincing nations that vaccines are absolutely essential opens the way for all the other practices of Western medicine. Especially mass drugging. In recent years (think Swine Flu, SARS, and other fake epidemics), the World Health Organization has played a major role in insistingwith threats of sanctions and quarantines and travel advisoriesthat nations vaccinate their citizens to the hilt, in order to protect the world against the deadly spread of viruses. The WHO wields significant power in this regard. It is a pharmaceutical enforcer. Here is the second aspect of the vaccination-invasion: the local leaders of backward nations stand to gain from the vaccine ruse. Instead of having to admit they are causing widespread death and devastation by maintaining poverty, hunger, starvation, unsanitary overcrowded living conditions, and contaminated water suppliesall of this on purpose, in order to keep their populations weak and under controlthe political leaders in those countries can say: Our people are suffering from specific diseases, over which we have no control. We are afflicted with viruses. We must take steps. We must upgrade our medical care programs. The first step is instituting widespread vaccination against viruses. This con lets them off the hook. This con is a cover story that obscures what these leaders are actually doing to their own people. This con obscures the fact that, when living conditions are execrable and miserable, disease arises independent of what particular germs are circulating. The imposed conditions of life destroy immune systems, after which any germ that comes down the pipeline causes debilitation and deathwhereas, in the presence of strong immune systems, the germs would have little or no adverse effects. They would be routinely repelled. (I suggest you read this paragraph again, twice. For further info, go here, here, and here.) Vaccination, as a bonus for repressive leaders, actually makes things worse for populations. It pushes already weakened immune systems over the edge into complete collapse. Consider also how mega-corporations benefit. After making deals with local dictators to set up shop, hire workers for pennies an hour, steal land and resources, and keep populations weak, confused, debilitated, and therefore less able to rebel against the outright theft of their countries, these corporations also have a built-in cover story: Its shame whats happening to the people here, all this disease. Therefore, we wholly support bringing in medical aid, to stem the tide As if doctors and drugs and vaccines could cure the destruction wrought by abject poverty and starvation. The degree of brainwashing propaganda about the miracle of medicine is extraordinary. People watch/read news stories about doctors and medical supplies going to impoverished countries, and casually assume there is some connection between that and bringing health to millions of people. Nothing could be further from the truth. Yes, I see youve been hungry for 20 years. Here is a drug. And roll up your tattered sleeve for 10 vaccines. Any doctor worth his salt understands these things. He knows. He knows he is being used as a prop in a fantasy stage production of The Cure: A Great Deception. The man in the white coat comes to dinner, but there is no dinner. Hello. I represent a few mega-corporations who, in conjunction with your leaders over the past hundred years, have stolen your country from you, taken the best farm land, the richest minerals, and put you to work at starvation wages. Therefore, youre sick. So now Im going to help you with a shot in the arm that will do nothing to raise your level of health. But well pretend it will. Okay? Many years ago, in my college bulletin, a young doctor wrote a piece about his experiences in Africa. He grasped part of the truth. He mentioned that severe dehydration/diarrhea was a leading cause of death there, but the medical people refused to give out simple packs that would at least, for the moment, rehydrate the sufferers. Instead, they insisted on administering antibioticswhich of course made the problem worse by killing off beneficial gut bacteria. Thirty years later, while I was writing my first book, AIDS INC., I got a call from a doctor who had set up a small AIDS clinic in Uganda. He simply gave his patients clean rooms and nutritious food, and helped them start a little farm, where they grew beans and sold them. Thats all. He said to me, All their AIDS symptoms went away. What do I do now? The first thing he could do was realize that HIV was a stupendous cover story to explain why so many people in Africa were sick. He was something close to a real healer, and he had done his job well. But because of his indoctrination, he didnt know it. When experts rattle on about how vaccination has wiped out many diseases in the Third World, what they really mean is: vaccines have suppressed the visible symptoms that lead to the diagnosis of these diseases. But new symptoms will arise, and they will be called other disease-names. Its a shell game. I challenge anyone to show me large, correctly done studies that track people in the Third World who have received the usual batches of vaccines. Show me that the overall health level of these people has improved over time. In other words, show me that people who are chronically affected by hunger, starvation, contaminated water, and unsanitary overcrowded living conditions are somehow enjoying improved health because they were given shots in the arm. Well, when you put it that way I do put it that way. Because thats the way it is. All the laudatory verbiage about the unparalleled success of vaccines in the Third World is just more illusion, more cover story, more diversion. The invasion is ongoing.

No birth certificates issued without vaccination. The bill also proposes penalties for hate mongers who spread baseless rumors about vaccination. Hate mongers? Censorship is steamrolling us here too. Different issue, but yesterday I read AGW proponents want to sue groups professing skepticism of the official climate change story using RICO laws. RICO was used successfully against Tobacco companies lying about what they knew regarding the deleterious effects of smoking. TPTB know their minions, the Globalist Koch brothers (fossil fuel polluters as Dale calls them), have been funding some of these groups, besides being controlled opposition, that would be the perfect set up for this RICO angle to stomp on free speech. They must be looking for new tactics to shut up vaccination critics as well. Think about it, why do you need birth certificates? Youre right, we shouldnt need them or state issued marriage licenses, biometric IDs to travel and work, etc. Its always about control. Yeah, if you want to get married you should just be able to find a reverend, minister, priest, etc. willing to perform the ceremony without State Approval. People really need to start rebelling! Coincidentally, read this moments ago on Technocracy News websiteWorld Bank calls for global biometric ID, UN and Accenture actively working on ID4D initiative in refugee camps. technocracy.news/index.php/2015/10/04/accenture-and-world-bank-call-for-a-global-universal-id/ We truly are just cattle to the elites. Birth Certificates, Uniform Birth Numbers, Hospital Birth Certificates, Social Security Numbers, Drivers Licenses, Marriage Licenses, etc. Aint that the truth. Cattle and guinea pigs. Vaccination slow death. Which commercial is that, UNICEF? Tell the vaccinators: Jabbing me will be the last thing you ever do! (Then carry it out)! Water Missions International is giving them water retention facilities, with CLEAN water. That is a step in the right direction. Feed him a fish, he will eat for a day, teach him to fish, and he will eat for a lifetime. So true, endless scams. There has to be more to the vaccine agenda than profits. Big Pharma has a monopoly and a direct line to the apex elites, they are assured hefty profits with or without vaccines. TPTB have been caught adding human chorionic gonadatropin to vaccine cocktails in undeveloped countries on two different continents. The goal would be the formation of antibodies to HCG which could result in miscarriage in early pregnancy. Vaccines could be a covert way to chip people and earlier this year Rappoport wrote about human trials on so-called permanent vaccines whereby a vector (usually a bioengineered virus) inserts DNA into our cells. Thats a step towards transhumanism / eugenics. Big-Pharma has also been putting cancer causing agents in vaccines as well. Future customers for The Medical Mafia Cartel! Very true. Its so unbelievably frustrating how human beings have lost the ability to think for themselves and see through the lies and distortion of vaccinations. Logic simply flies out of the window with this topic and people dont see the glaring holes in the logic of vaccination. If you could picture it: the most vile sinister evil wicked, war thirsty people to ever exist, in collussion, popularized in the worlds eyes, attempting to kill off as many people as possible. What would be the absolute best silent weapon to wage that war and provide access to killing billions of people at once while leaving there wealth and belongings intact?? Truth has always been crazier than fiction my friend. Logic: If you Cypher got a flu shot and I Tardis have the flu and cough and sneeze on you, you should be protected and immune. But, in reality you will most likely get the flu from me anyway. When politicians go on the tube and pretend to be so concerned about kids being gunned down in mass shootings, I have to turn the TV off. They have no problems enabling the lobotomies of thousands of children as a result of vaccinations. Do they stand up for aborted baby murders either? Not at all. That furthers their agenda by allowing their benefactors to reap aborted fetal tissues for the vaccines. That Sir is a very vile vision you just created and I would hope and pray doesnt actually occur. Truth is much stranger and wilder than fiction and I put nothing past the techno- tyrannical fake democracy we live in Vile it is. Its also very true. You can read it on the vaccine inserts. China is killing more babies now for their DNA tissues for future vaccines. 
3	6 Tips for Dealing With the New PrepperGaye Levy, Contributor On the other hand, we lucked out with Canadian earthquake. Luckily, it was located a bit off shore on a sparsely populated rural island. There was a tsunami warning but the tsunami did not materialize. But can you imagine the devastation if the earthquake had occurred in nearby Vancouver or Seattle? In the weeks and months to come, friends, relatives and neighbors who thought you were a bit nuts with all of your prepping may now be thinking: Heck, those crazy preppers may have been on to something. And this, as far as I am concerned is a good thing. I would like to encourage you to coach newbie preppers in the best way you can: with common sense and practicality. No mention of I told you so, no fear mongering and no recrimination. Instead, consider the following six tips for dealing with the new prepper. 1. Go slowly and exercise patience. It takes months for seeds to produce viable food and it takes years for a tree to bear fruit. Prepping is no different. I like to promote the one-month-at-a-time method of prepping which adds new tasks, skills, and food items each month until, at the end of the year, a decent and well rounded set of preps is good to go. Getting Prepared: 12 Months of Prepping, One Month at a Time 2. Compare prices. I really want to emphasis the importance of comparing prices to insure that you are not be subjected to a price that has been artificially inflated. That is what happened shortly after the Fukushima disaster and it was heartbreaking for me to hear of people that spent double, or even triple the normal price for something. Food and gear for survival and emergency purposes does not have to be overly expensive. In many cases, you can shop your own home for the items you need to get started and use the savings to fill in with additional items. The recent article Back to the Basics: The Bug-Out-Bag talked about this and offered some suggestions for gathering items you already own to make up a starter or even a spare bug out bag. The best advice I can give in this regard is to be aware and spend your money accordingly. Stay calm, stay prudent, and if it sounds too good to be true, it is probably best to move on. 3. There is a wealth of free information on the internet and at your local library. In addition there are some really good books available at bookstores or online at Amazon. It goes without saying that free is good. When you are first getting started, going from website to website can be time-consuming but most have an RSS feed and email subscriptions that will push new articles and information to you automatically. Some of my favorite websites? I check the following websites daily: Prepper Website: This site is really a super site that plucks the best daily articles from the internet and posts a link so that you can get to the article quickly and easily. The topics covered are varied and are always useful and interesting. Another way to put it is that Prepper Website does all the work for you so you dont have to hunt down newly posted articles on your own. The Survivalist Blog dot Net: Talk about one of the better blogs out there this website has a huge and diverse set of followers who comment freely and provide guest articles on a wide range of topics. The site owner also writes articles and is one heck of a good guy with strong morals and a good heart. I have learned a lot on this site. Apartment Prepper: Many people live in small homes, condos, or apartments and have unique prepping and storage needs. I happen to like the site owners writing style and trust the information that is written to be practical and useful. You do not have to live in an apartment to find something useful at this site. Urban Survival: George Ure provides survival and homesteading information from a economics point of view. With wit and humor, he puts the world condition into perspective and gives his readers coping tips for getting by. The way I look at it, if you dont know what is going on in the world, how are you going to keep up? 4. Just say no to websites that appear to be feeding upon your fear and apprehension. They were there before the storm and you can bet they will be in your face after the storm as well. Any website that invokes fear should be ignored. There are plenty of others that will not pray upon you with fear mongering tactics. Are there tough times ahead? I sure think so. Are we facing a global food crisis? Yep, that too. But is it going to be so bad all at once that you need to drop everything, spend every last dime and prepare for the end of the world right now this minute? I think not. The uncertain times that we are facing started a few years ago. And with each year, things appear to be getting worse. Crazy weather patterns, massive geological disturbances, economic woes, and even the cannibalization of our ability to grow food are happening now and seem to be escalating. But the process is not immediate; it is rather is slow and insidious. With that in mind, be cautious and prudent as you begin to prep and again, do not give in to fear mongering tactics. 5. Ask preppers in your community for help. Advise the newbie prepper that you are there to help. In addition, suggest that they ask around in their neighborhood, community organization or church or temple to see if there are other like-minded people willing to share their experience and offer some guidance. Most preppers (but alas, not all) are like evangelists when it comes to being self-reliant and having the ability to fend for yourself. They want you to prepare so that you do not come knocking on their door when the SHTF. 6. Dont panic but if you do, do not let panic turn into complacency and inaction. Staying on top of the fear will eliminate panic and the sense of helplessness that comes with it. Remember that prepping is a lifestyle choice that takes a bit of time, skill, and patience. But it can also be fun and challenging as you learn new skills and test your ability to endure. It is never too late to begin. Heck, even though I have not been prepping for all that many years, I now feel secure and confident that I can weather any storm or disaster that presents itself in my path. That does not mean that I am done, though, since I will never be done. And neither will you. Getting Back to the Basics The suggestions I have outlined today are really quite simple and you may have thought of them yourself. But sometimes, when it comes to putting things into action, you might forget or be too busy to really put some thought into an appropriate plan of action. Come to think about it, some of these suggestions might be hitting home a bit as you step back to re-evaluate where you stand in terms of your own prepping activities. I do know one thing. A few new things I had not thought of before came to light as a result of this latest storm. That alone tells me that I need to do some refreshing and reviewing of my stuff and my skills myself. So think about getting back to the basics. As I comb through some of my previous articles, I plan to re-publish those that fall into the back-to-the-basics category over at the Strategic Living site I co-author with my BFF George Ure. And of course, if you have any ideas, free free to send them my way via e-mail or by leaving a comment below. Also be aware that starting in January, I will be publishing monthly articles on 12 Months of Prepping: Year 2 to further help you enhance your prepping abilities. This morning my e-mail was filled with all kinds of nefarious and dubious offers for survival books, DVDs and videos. Be aware, the vultures are out there and are out there in force. Now dont get me wrong, there are some really good products available that are well priced, presented nicely, and worth your time and money. One of those, as an example, is Survive Any Food Crisis which I was able to read and critique prior to publication. (The author is the real deal.) There are many other fine products out there as well. So again, like a broken record I want to remind you to be aware, be diligent and most of all, do what you can to help others as they being to embark upon their prepping journey. The prepper newbie is waiting for you. Read other articles by Gaye Levy here. Gaye Levy, also known as the Survival Woman, grew up and attended school in the Greater Seattle area.

2	Woman Jailed, Raped, And Whipped Because She Was Holding A Beer Can Its becoming increasingly more troubling that Obama is standing behind Islam as a religion of peace, when throughout the world were seeing violence escalate in the name of Shariah Law. If the multiple terrorist attacks arent enough, maybe this well be. According to reports, an Iranian girl was recently jailed for 6 days, where she was raped 29 times by 7 guards. She was then given 80 lashes. Imprisonment, rape, and a brutal beating. And for what? She was caught with a beer can. This is outrageous, and of course, Obama remains silent about the incident. We cant let this happen in America.

1	Making engine noises with his mouth as he guided a model bulldozer toward a Hot Wheels racetrack play set, local 5-year-old Dylan Walde was reportedly unaware Wednesday just how many of his toys have been purchased to steer him away from one day adopting a homosexual lifestyle. Vroom, vroom, said Walde, completely oblivious to the fact that throughout his life, his parents and extended family members have repeatedly stood in department store toy aisles and actively decided against buying him watercolor paints, a hula hoop, or a kid-sized shopping cart in favor of toys they hope will reinforce a heterosexual male orientation. Look out for the dump truck! At press time, Walde had begun to pick out a few notes on his sisters toy piano before an older relative swiftly confiscated it. 
1	Statistics say that America is more prosperous than ever, but you'd never know it from looking at the horse stables tucked behind the kidney-shaped pool in Fred and Mary Lipton's backyard on Shady Lane. 'We keep meaning to expand them,' sighs Mary Lipton, 45, a member of the Greenwich Arts Society and mother of three. 'But Freddie's firm has lost several of its corporate clients recently, and we're having a hard enough time making the payments on Crystal Waves [their Bridgehampton home]. When does 'trickle-down economics' trickle down to us?' The Liptons are at the short end of an alarming trend in America: the ever-widening gap between the rich and super-rich. According to Treasury Department statistics, the wealthiest .01 percent of the American population holds 20 percent of the nation's wealth, or $270 trillion, an amount more than two times the holdings of the next richest .09 percent combined. The current disparity is an alarming indicator of things to come, according to Martin Hubbell, professor of macroeconomics at Yale University. 'A healthy capitalist economy should not concentrate so much of its wealth in the hands of so few,' Hubbell said. 'I mean, it should concentrate it in the hands of a few, but not so few.' The burgeoning gulf is strikingly apparent on streets like Shady Lane. At its north end, two permanently manned guardhouses mark the entrances to two palatial estates, each more than 5,000 acres, and each just one of many properties owned by its inhabitants. Yet only a scant two miles away, on Shady Lane's dreaded 'South Side,' 25-room dwellings like the Liptons' huddle pathetically a few yards from the pavement, the desired effect of their dcor often undermined, the nearest neighbor usually less than a furlong away. Unlike the super-rich, with their dozen or so properties across the globe, these owners are but one, two, or at most three catastrophic fires away from utter homelessness. The close proximity of rich and super-rich is a source of frequent tension, according to Mary Lipton. 'There is no doubt in my mind that a lot of [the super-rich] would be very happy to keep us in these slums,' she said with a tinge of bitterness in her voice. 'Either that, or they just don't want to know about us. It's like, 'Well, as long as I don't have to see them or go into their neighborhood, I can pretend that everything is fine, that everybody has a membership at Pebble Beach and Augusta like me.' It's really palpable. Their maids even act like they're as good as we are.' Indeed, Professor Hubbell detects signs of a budding class-warfare in this year's electoral results. 'Ninety-six percent of those with $4 million or more in annual earnings voted for Bob Dole,' he observed. 'But among those whose income is between $1 and $4 million, the figure plummets to 90 percent. We are dealing with a politics of resentment, and it's going to get ugly.' The owner of one of Shady Lane's two tony northern properties sees no cause for panic in the statistics. 'As we say in my industry, a rising tide lifts all ships,' said Henry Humphries, a shipping magnate worth an estimated $750 million. 'It just takes some time, that's all. Look, I made $45 million last year, and I bought all my executives BMWs. Would I have liked to have bought them Rolls Royces? Of course. But I have to acquire other companies with that money so I can continue to make money so that they can continue to make money. That's what makes the world go around.' But Minnie 'Bubbles' DeLaroue, a wealthy widow and Humphries' neighbor across the creek, is quick to acknowledge the problem. The billionairess is founder of Reaching Out, a charity organization dedicated to improving the lives of the less fortunate. 'We all need to give back to the rich,' said DeLaroue. 'My husband believed that what made America truly great was people reaching out to other people, lending them a hand or a houseboat or whatever it takes. In the end, having lots and lots of money isn't nearly as important as just having lots of money.' 
1	WASHINGTON, DCThe federal system of Jacks and Palances created more than 200 years ago by the framers of the U.S. Constitution received an overhaul Monday via a new amendment ratified by Congress. Each of the three branches Jacks the power of the other two...creating an equal Palance of power. Under the previous system, an equal Palance of power was maintained among the three branches of the federal governmentexecutive, legislative and judicialwith each branch keeping the other two in Jack. The revised system, which goes into effect July 1, will take some power away from the three branches, and give more direct power to 72-year-old actor Jack Palance. Specifically, before any bill is submitted before Congress, it must first be reviewed by Jack Palance. If passed by Palance and three-quarters of both houses of Congress, it must then be approved by the president. If signed by the president, it must again be reviewed by Jack Palance. The Supreme Court then has the authority to call into question the legality of the law, but Jack Palance, in turn, can then overrule the high court if he believes the law is not Palanced. In order to ensure that Jack Palance's power itself remains Palanced and Jacked, a special clause grants the president authority to veto his decisions, but only if the president can beat the veteran tough-guy actor at bare-knuckled fisticuffs, a feat which has occurred only twice in U.S. history, most recently in 1948. 'The system of Jacks and Palances is integral to the federal government's continued stability,' said H. George Francona, Harvard University political science professor. 'By tilting the scales of power away from the excesses of big government and placing more control in the hands of the gravel-voiced star of City Slickers 2: The Legend Of Curly's Gold, we can ensure Jack Palance's continued, central role well into the next century. 'Now you got all your holes dug,' Palance said from his Washington, DC, office Monday. 
2	Muslim Brutally Tortures And Honor Murders His 10 Year Old Daughter For Adultery [VIDEO] Unbelievable. Recently, a 10 year old girl was tortured and murdered by her father for committing what he claimed to be adultery. Colonel Mohammad Qassem Al Hadi, the director of Dhamars Criminal Investigation Department said that the father admitted to having tortured the 10 year old and shot her with his gun. We found a video clip in his mobile phone asking his daughter to confess to her mistake. The girl was bleeding and crying, said the Colonel. The father reportedly uses various different methods to force his daughter into admitting her adultery, including pressing hot irons to her skin and using different tools to beat her. If I were a judge, I would have sentenced him to death in the first session. said Ali Al Bukhiti. What do you think? Should this man be sentenced to death? 
1	Though he remains quiet and reclusive in nearly all other situations, local resident Frank Collins really brightens up and comes into his own when he visits Larrys Guns & Ammo in downtown Jackson, relatives of the 22-year-old reported Tuesday. He wont say three words to you all day, but once he steps into that gun shop hes like a flower blooming in spring, said Collins father Paul, explaining that in the store his son will immediately start pointing around and saying Ill take one of those, two of those, and how much is it for 1,000 rounds of ammunition? Hes always full of questions about reload times, stopping power, magazine capacitiesyou name it. Youd never believe he was the same kid who spends all weekend indoors with his blinds drawn. Going there seems to be really healthy for him. Gun store employees confirmed Collins suddenly grows distant and withdrawn when they take a few minutes to perform his federally mandated background check, but always perks right back up again the moment his purchase is approved. 
2	Thug Shoots And Kills War Veteran And Cop, Wheres Al Sharpton Now? According to tragic new reports, a police officer from Greenville, South Carolina was just killed by a known gang member he was chasing. Officer Allen Jacobs was shot multiple times after he followed the suspect around the corner of a house in the Nicholltown Community, Greenville Police Chief Ken Miller told reporters. The suspect was 17-year-old Deontea Perry Mackey, a listed gang member in a national police database. Mackey later took his own life after being surrounded by police officers near the Swamp Rabbit Trail. Jacobs was truly dedicated to protecting this country. He was a decorated veteran of the Iraqi War, as well as a father of two young sons. He has a third child on the way. At the time of his death, Jacobs weapon was still holstered. He was also wearing a bullet proof vest. 
1	Scientists observing the behavior of local man David Berham told reporters on Monday that the 34-year-old, remarkably, is completely unable to control his facial muscles whenever he has to process information of any kind. As soon as Mr. Berhams brain engages with even a simple question or concept, his mouth and forehead immediately begin to contract and relax of their own accord, Johns Hopkins Universitys Dr. Paula Kirchman told reporters, noting that while he is thinking, Berhams facial expressions have absolutely no relation to his current mind state or to any type of recognizable human emotions. Sometimes, while he is engaged in the process of conscious thought, a look of either utter disgust or incredible pain will appear on Mr. Berhams face and stay there for minutes on end, an expression he is completely unaware that he is making. However, just as often, he will spend this entire period of time with his mouth agape, his eyes dead, and his every facial feature drooped, as though he has slipped into an unconscious or prolonged vegetative state. Dr. Kirchman added that preliminary medical research shows that, while engaged in thought, Berhams facial structure is externally most akin to that of either a fucking idiot or a big fucking moron. 
2	Student Gets Arrested For Hanging AntiAccording to recent reports, a New York college student just filed a lawsuit against the Nassau County Police Department, claiming that they violated his freedom of expression when they arrested him for hanging an Impeach Obama banner on a Long Island overpass. Police charged Danny Martins, a Hofstra University senior, with disorderly conduct. The incident took place in June 2014, when Martins displayed both the banner and an American flag on a pedestrian walkway just above the expressway in Jericho, New York. Martins is a member of the universitys Libertarian Club, and Nassau County prosecutors are attempting to argue that his behavior posed a traffic hazard. Of course, the trial judge was quick to dismiss all charges against him. What do you think? Are you tired of the government attempting to limit our First Amendment rights? 
1	Ray Shymanski, a night watchman at a Duncanville auto-parts warehouse, has been keeping an extra-close eye out for Tonight Show host Jay Leno, it was learned Tuesday. For nearly two months, Shymanski has not let Leno out of his sight, following him closely on a five-inch portable monitor he brings to work each night. 'What Mr. Leno says, I will hear. What he does, I will see,' the determined Shymanski said. 'Leno will not leave my sight at any time, even if I have to wait for commercial breaks to go to the bathroom.' Shymanski, also known for his close observation of Conan O'Brien and Tom Snyder, said that Leno will continue to be singled out. 'Leno had better not try anything funny,' he warned ominously. 
3	Part of the MachineBy Susan Boskey In 1936 Charlie Chaplin wrote, directed and acted in the silent film, Modern Times. His film was a statement on the many social issues brought on by the Great Depression, including the then world of modern industry. At one point in the movie, he is working on a conveyor belt that starts speeding up. He struggles to keep up as he screws nuts faster and faster but eventually collapses in a total meltdown that lands him in the hospital. Afterwards, he is in and out of jail, helps others who struggle with hunger, finds new work, and ultimately faces an uncertain future. So how is this like today, you may ask? From my perspective only the times, the people and the platform have changed; the 21st century digital world of computers, and those of us dependent on them, has replaced the analog world of most all things mechanized. Yet the struggles continue and uncertainty looms larger than ever. A January 7, 2016 article in the prestigious magazine, The Atlantic, asks, Why do Americans Work so Much? I remember in the 1960s and 70s when the news was that the advent of the computer would totally reverse the typical work week of 40 hours; we would have much more free time due to increased productivity and the efficiency provided to workers by the computer. Oh well, so much for that idea. Now many people work 7 days a week just to avoid the Monday-morning overwhelm of emails and texts that come in over the weekend. John Maynard Keynes, a 20th-century British economist who greatly influenced the current monetary system, believed back even before the 1960s, that industrialized countries would be so productive by now that we would be enjoying 15-hour work weeks. He also believed that the standard of life would rise across the board for people of every social stratum. How can such supposedly smart people be so blind to reality? Perhaps, in his case, its because during an important phase in his economic career he was employed by the British government and did not want to rock the boat. The Atlantic article goes on trying to assess what might have gone wrong as most Americans still have to work at least 40 hours a week. The answer? If you can find the nose on your face, you can solve this unfathomable mystery. But first, economist, Benjamin Friedmans, cites his three theories in the article. Not bad but certainly only scratching the surface. You probably already know what Im going to sayits the system! Heres a thumbnail overview on what happened. Starting early in the 2nd century, the goldsmiths of a community acted as money changers; they were the banks to the public. Called Strong Room Keepers, these men figured out how to cheat the system by lending out more gold (at interest) than they had on deposit. This was the beginning of the global banking fractional-reserve system. While in the Middle Ages, Canon law of the Catholic Church forbade loaning at interest. It became a crime in Europe, called usury. They believed that the purpose of money was to serve society to facilitate exchange of goods to lead a virtuous life and that interest added on to money hindered such purpose. Then the British Free Coinage Act of 1666 tipped the balance of power back to the money changers according to Alexander Del Mar, head of the U.S. Department of Weights and Measures in the late 19th century. It altered the monetary systems of the world. The specific effect of this law was to destroy the royal prerogative of coinage, nullify the decision in the Mixt Moneys Case of 1604 and inaugurate a future series of commercial panics and disasters which, to that time were totally unknown. A now familiar trend was set in motion. In 1694 the first privately owned central bank was established and became the model for central banks worldwide: The Bank of England. In America until the 1764 Currency Act, colonies flourished because they used something called colonial script, a debt-free paper money not backed by gold or silver. Then, no big surprise, the Currency Act outlawed the colonies from continuing to print their own money. The first privately-owned central bank in America was started in 1781 and called The Bank of North America. The privately owned U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (central bank) began in 1913 after two other failed attempts at central banks in 1791 and 1812. These four banks were and are of private origin despite the U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8s mandate for money to be controlled by the Congress. The Congress shall have power to coin money, regulate the value thereof and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures. Thereafter, money issued by every central bank throughout the world was loaned into existence with interest. Money itself became an I.O.U. Over time as a nations debt grows, simple interest turns into compound interest. To repay national debt would collapse the economy due to a banking-system dependent on debt. This very process of debt expansion (called wealth creation by Alan Greenspan) trickles down to individuals and families who eventually have more money going out (due to mounting debt) than they do coming in. While paying debt-service on borrowed money, a familys working capital erodes and tips the scale towards lacking sufficient funds to cover expenses. The vicious cycle begins as present and potential future earnings are depleted: unmanageable amounts of debt require increased access to larger amounts of credit. All the while, these debt-service interest payments travel up the money pyramid as profits to banking shareholders and their colleagues. Why do Americans work so much? They are under the tyranny of debt. Charlie Chaplins Modern Times was only the beginning of the personal and social issues brought on by the loss of purchasing power in a debt-based system where your interest payments continue to consolidate in fewer and fewer hands at the top of the wealth pyramid. Thus the gap between the haves and have-nots grows ever wider. Different times demand a different approach to personal economics; those who see the writing on the wall are called to revise and update their financial strategies if to thrive and not drown in debt. Susan Boskey is author of the book, The Quality Life Plan: 7 Steps to Uncommon Financial Security. After exposing the bottom-line of why more and more families need credit each month just to make ends meet, Susan provides game-changing practical strategies, tactics and templates to help you create a life of greater ease.

We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes; have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers. Great addition to this excellent article, blue! Keynes must not have got the agenda 2030 memo. 
1	In honor of the team's storied past, the Florida Marlins announced at a press conference Tuesday that their new stadium would prominently feature the seat-covering tarp that has remained a constant during their 18 years at Sun Life Stadium. 'We can't imagine a Marlins game that isn't played in front of an unbroken sea of smooth, empty teal,' team president David Samson said as a screen behind him displayed a computer-generated animation of the giant tarp being lowered onto 9,000 empty seats in a new stadium. 'That old tarp has been gloriously unfurled for 18 opening days and two World Series, and we're not going to just abandon it. Besides, the new facility will have 37,000 seats, so I'm pretty sure we'll find a use for it.' Samson assured fans the ballpark would also feature modern amenities such as sleeker, more modern tarps to cover the entire upper deck and the Marlins' dugout. 
2	Thugs Arrested In Restaurant After They Refused To Pull Up Their Pants Andrew Gehring and Donovan Johnson, two 22-year-old men in South Carolina, were recently arrested for disorderly conduct, after refusing to pull up their pants during a disturbance at a local restaurant. Both men became hostile after a security guard at a local Waffle House, asked them to leave for failing to comply with his request to pull their pants up and not show their boxers, the Spartanburg County Sheriffs Office reported. Apparently, the two men also continued to swear at police officers who were trying to arrange rides home for them. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Gehring both advised that they were out to have fun, the report continued, [They] implied they were Wofford students graduating this date and it wasnt their concern that proper decorum was needed in the public domain. In reality, Gehring was expelled from the school after being arrested for burglary and grand larceny in 2011. 
3	Federal Reserve Whistleblower Tells America The REAL Reason For Quantitative EasingMichael Snyder Meanwhile, U.S. stock prices have doubled overall, and the stock prices of the big Wall Street banks have tripled. So who benefits from quantitative easing? It doesnt take a genius to figure it out, and now Andrew Huszar is blowing the whistle on the whole thing. From 2009 to 2010, Huszar was responsible for managing the Feds purchase of approximately $1.25 trillion worth of mortgage-backed securities. At the time, he thought that it was a dream job, but now he is apologizing to the rest of the country for what happened I can only say: Im sorry, America. As a former Federal Reserve official, I was responsible for executing the centerpiece program of the Feds first plunge into the bond-buying experiment known as quantitative easing. The central bank continues to spin QE as a tool for helping Main Street. But Ive come to recognize the program for what it really is: the greatest backdoor Wall Street bailout of all time. Trading for the first round of QE ended on March 31, 2010. The final results confirmed that, while there had been only trivial relief for Main Street, the U.S. central banks bond purchases had been an absolute coup for Wall Street. The banks hadnt just benefited from the lower cost of making loans. Theyd also enjoyed huge capital gains on the rising values of their securities holdings and fat commissions from brokering most of the Feds QE transactions. Wall Street had experienced its most profitable year ever in 2009, and 2010 was starting off in much the same way. Youd think the Fed would have finally stopped to question the wisdom of QE. Think again. Only a few months laterafter a 14% drop in the U.S. stock market and renewed weakening in the banking sectorthe Fed announced a new round of bond buying: QE2. Germanys finance minister, Wolfgang Schuble, immediately called the decision clueless. That was when I realized the Fed had lost any remaining ability to think independently from Wall Street. Of course the fact that the Fed cannot think independently from Wall Street should not be a surprise to any of my regular readers. As I have written about repeatedly, the Federal Reserve was created by the Wall Street bankers for the benefit of the Wall Street bankers. When the Federal Reserve serves the interests of Wall Street, it is simply doing what it was designed to do. And,according to Huszar, quantitative easing has been one giant subsidy for Wall Street banks Having racked up hundreds of billions of dollars in opaque Fed subsidies, U.S. banks have seen their collective stock price triple since March 2009. The biggest ones have only become more of a cartel: 0.2% of them now control more than 70% of the U.S. bank assets. But Huszar is certainly not the only one on Wall Street that acknowledges these things. For example, just check out what billionaire hedge fund manager Stanley Druckenmiller told CNBC about quantitative easing This is fantastic for every rich person, he said Thursday, a day after the Feds stunning decision to delay tightening its monetary policy. This is the biggest redistribution of wealth from the middle class and the poor to the rich ever. Who owns assetsthe rich, the billionaires. You think Warren Buffett hates this stuff? You think I hate this stuff? I had a very good day yesterday. Druckenmiller, whose net worth is estimated at more than $2 billion, said that the implication of the Feds policy is that the rich will spend their wealth and create jobsessentially betting on trickle-down economics. I mean, maybe this trickle-down monetary policy that gives money to billionaires and hopefully we go spend it is going to work, he said. But it hasnt worked for five years. And Donald Trump said essentially the same thing when he made the following statement on CNBC about quantitative easing People like me will benefit from this. The American people are still being told that quantitative easing is economic stimulus which will make the lives of average Americans better. That is a flat out lie and the folks over at the Federal Reserve know this. In fact, a very interesting study conducted for the Bank of England shows that quantitative easing actually increases the gap between the wealthy and the poor 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. And this is exactly what has happened in the United States as well. U.S. stocks have risen 108% while Barack Obama has been in the White House. And who owns stocks? The wealthy do. In fact, 82 percent of all individually held stocks are owned by the wealthiest 5 percent of all Americans. Meanwhile, things have continued to get even tougher for ordinary Americans. While Obama has been in the White House, the percentage of working age Americans with a job has declined from 60.6% to 58.3%, median household income has declined for five years in a row, and poverty has been absolutely exploding. But the fact that it has been very good for Wall Street while doing essentially nothing for ordinary Americans is not the biggest problem with quantitative easing. The biggest problem with quantitative easing is that it is destroying worldwide faith in the U.S. dollar and in the U.S. financial system. In recent years, the Federal Reserve has started to behave like the Weimar Republic. Just check out the chart below Right now, most global trade involves the use of U.S. dollars. In fact, far more U.S. dollars are actually used outside of the United States than are used inside the country. This creates a tremendous demand for U.S. dollars around the planet, and it keeps the value of the U.S. dollar at a level that is far higher than it otherwise would be. If the rest of the world decides to start moving away from the U.S. dollar (and this is already starting to happen), then the demand for the U.S. dollar will fall and we will not be able to import oil from the Middle East and cheap plastic trinkets from China so inexpensively anymore. In addition, major exporting nations such as China and Saudi Arabia end up with giant piles of U.S. dollars due to their trading activities. Instead of just sitting on all of that cash, they tend to reinvest much of it back into U.S. Treasury securities. This increases demand for U.S. debt and drives down interest rates. If the Federal Reserve continues to wildly create money out of thin air with no end in sight, the rest of the world may decide to stop lending us trillions of dollars at ultra-low interest rates. When we get to that point, it is going to be absolutely disastrous for the U.S. economy and the U.S. financial system. If you doubt this, just read this article. The only way that the game can continue is for the rest of the world to continue to be irrational and to continue to ignore the reckless behavior of the Federal Reserve. We desperately need the rest of the planet to ignore the man behind the curtain. We desperately need them to keep using our dollars that are rapidly being devalued and to keep loaning us money at rates that are far below the real rate of inflation. If the rest of the globe starts behaving rationally at some point, and they eventually will, then the game will be over. Let us hope and pray that we still have a bit more time until that happens.

1	According to a poll released Thursday by the Pew Research Center, 80 percent of Americans would, if given even one opportunity, enter a strangers vehicle for a shot at starting a new life. Our research indicated that as long as the driver was headed somewhere else, anywhere else, more than three quarters of Americans would get in that persons car without any hesitation, said Pew spokesperson Sylvia Ettinger, adding that neither the make of the vehicle, its intended destination, nor the appearance or temperament of the driver would have any bearing on the decision. Provided that entering the vehicle offered even the remotest possibility of a clean break from the past, eight out of every 10 people we surveyed said they were happy to toss their cell phone and wallet into a ditch and put their destiny in the hands of the very first person who pulled over. The poll found, however, that only 3 percent of Americans would pick up some weirdo standing on the side of the road with his thumb out. 
2	Unexpected Celeb SLAMS Meryl Streep Publicly For What She Pulled At The Golden Globes During the Golden Globe awards on Sunday, Meryl Streep used her acceptance speech for the Lifetime Achievement Award to criticize Donald Trump and his supporters. In her now-viral speech, she claimed that entertainers and foreigners are going to be kicked out of the country by Trump. Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners, Streep commented. And if we kick them all out youll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts. Its not going to be everybodys thing and the last thing in the world I expect is an uppity, 80-year-old lady to be in our demographic and love mixed martial arts, White told TMZ Sports. If you really look at who follows the UFC and is into mixed martial arts, its everybody. I dont expect an 80-year-old woman to be a big fan of mixed martial arts and listen, everybodys into whateverIm not a big fan of golf. It doesnt mean people should stop watching it. If you dont like it, change the channel. White then noted that he has fighters from all over the world who fight in several different countries.

1	Upon spotting the blue carabiner connecting his keys to his pants belt loop, coworkers of local software engineer Peter Slotnick speculated Tuesday that the 34-year-old man must rappel into their office building every morning. After seeing the way Pete carries around his house keys and electronic office-door fob, its obvious to me that he begins each day by gliding effortlessly down a rope along the exterior of the building, skillfully bouncing off the faade every 10 feet or so, said colleague Eileen Pickering, adding that after he descends to the 14th floor, Slotnick likely pushes off one final time before bursting through the window into the conference room, rolling across the floor, brushing bits of glass from his clothing, and seating himself for the companys morning meeting. I bet while were all taking the stairs or walking to lunch, hes swinging over alleyways or maybe zip-lining his way around the city on a network of secured steel cables. He probably just clips that thing on and away he goes. Coworkers added that the small Swiss Army knife Slotnick keeps on his keyring must come in handy on days he needs to skin and field-dress large game on his commute home. 
1	Actor Conrad Bain, known to millions as Philip Drummond on the hit '70s sitcom Diff'rent Strokes, stepped down Monday from the post of National Kitsch-Reference Laureate. 'I am extremely proud to have served my country for the past 11 years in my humorous-referential capacity,' Bain said. 'Almost as proud as I was of Willis and Arnold that time they went on the hunger strike to save the ancient Indian burial ground that my construction company was going to tear up for a new building.' Bain added that he is fully confident that his successor, Ron 'Horshack' Palillo, 'will serve the nation with distinction and honor.'

2	Kellyanne Conway Ruins Harry Reid After His Sickening Attack On Trump [WATCH] Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid outraged Americans everywhere when he called Trump a sexual predator who lost the popular vote and fueled his campaign with bigotry and hate. Fortunately, Kellyanne Conway was not willing to let these comments slide. In an interview with Chris Wallace, Conway was asked to comment on Reids comments. She did not mince words. I find Harry Reids public comments and insults about Donald Trump and other Republicans to be beyond the pale, she argued. Theyre incredibly disappointing. Conway also warned Reid to be very careful about what he says moving forward. Chris Wallace pressed Conway on the matter, asking if she was referring to a potential lawsuit. No, Im not suggesting that at all, Conway answered. Im calling for responsibility and maturity and decency for somebody who has held one of the highest positions in our government, in a country of more than 300 million people. Conway then turned to Barack Obama and his responsibility as president to intervene. So far, he has done very little to stop media bias. I hope President Obama calls Harry Reid today and says, Cut it out, she commented. Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com 
3	Amtrak forms new department to be headed by former FEMA official, signals tighter integrationMadison Ruppert, Contributor Of course one of the other most well-known child agencies of the behemoth DHS is the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which is where the head of Amtraks new emergency management and corporate security department comes from. The leader of this new department will be Susan Reinertson, the former regional director of FEMA Region X in Seattle. She was appointed in 2006 and was responsible for coordinating FEMAs mitigation, preparedness, disaster response and recovery efforts for Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Why is this at all important or newsworthy, you ask? Well, it shows that Amtrak like many other companies is becoming increasingly tight with federal agencies working under DHS. Amtrak is already fully compliant with or some might say they regularly capitulate to the DHS and child agencies, as evidenced not only by the TSA teams which swoop in on their trains but also by the case I reported on recently in which a college student was detained for quite a while, interrogated and harassed simply for being in Islamic Studies. I suspect that this will only increase with a former FEMA regional director heading up one of their departments, since now the DHS will have a high-level former official to leverage. Amtrak states that their new department will integrate their company-wide efforts into a solitary and cohesive unit. They claim that this will allow them to more effectively prepare for emergencies and disasters, as well as to mitigate the effects of emergencies and disasters while allowing for faster and more efficient response and recovery. The new team will identify opportunities to strategically coordinate, train and put into practice consistent and efficient response and recovery efforts to better ensure the safety and security of our customers and employees, said Amtrak president and chief executive officer Joe Boardman, according to Government Security News. While currently Amtrak has their eight emergency management-related functions spread across various departments, these functions will now be all under the control of the new department. Combining emergency preparedness, continuity of operations and corporate security risk strategy will, according to Amtrak, help them establish and maintain a uniform corporate security strategy and better respond to and recover from emergencies and disasters. What they leave out is that it will also allow for even closer relations between DHS child agencies and Amtrak, thus allowing for even more unconstitutional checkpoints and Visual Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR) team activities. Some who buy into the complete fraud that is the war on terror might see this as a positive development. Those of us who see past the propaganda and lies will likely see this as yet another example of the connections between government and the private sector as recently highlighted by the head of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) moving to Google as well as these 18 Venn diagrams.

3	MyCancellation.com: Remember When Obama Lied You Can Keep Your Health Insurance?Melissa Melton If you like your health care plan, youll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what. In case you arent sure when President Obama said that, watch him say it 36 times in the past few years here: (It almost needs a techno beat behind it. But anyway) At this point, personal horror stories of premium price hikes and insurance cancellations are seemingly coming out every other five minutes. What do I mean by horror stories? Consider theop-ed of the woman fighting cancer who is about to get dumped by her insurance company thanks to Obamacare: Everyone now is clamoring about Affordable Care Act winners and losers. I am one of the losers. My grievance is not political; all my energies are directed to enjoying life and staying alive, and I have no time for politics. For almost seven years I have fought and survived stage-4 gallbladder cancer, with a five-year survival rate of less than 2% after diagnosis. I am a determined fighter and extremely lucky. But this luck may have just run out: My affordable, lifesaving medical insurance policy has been canceled effective Dec. 31. This persons health insurance rate is being hiked to $934.99 a month under Obamacare. Tales of health insurance woe go on and on. One person wrote on their letter that certain prescription medications which were previously covered would be discontinued as of January 1st, 2014 per employer decision due to Obamacare taking effect. Another sent in his letter with a note that not only would the next closest plan offered double his monthly costs, but he is a 40-year-old man whose wife has her own insurance, so he doesnt need maternity coverage (something our nations Health and Human Services Director, Kathleen Sebelius, has argued all men apparently need because healthcare plans have a range of services whether they get used or not even though that range of services being added to everyones plan is part of what is hiking prices so high). The cancellation letters continue page after page after page. People saw increases of 76% to 100% to 167% and more in their monthly premium prices if they even got to keep their insurance at all, which many do not. Obama apologized in an interview with Chuck Todd on NBC. He said, I am sorry that they, you know, are finding themselves in this situation, based on assurances they got from me. But as Forbes contributor Avik Roy points out, the president then went on in the same interview to spread more ACA falsehoods and completely misrepresent the severity of how hard Obamacare is hitting the average American. First, Obama said that the hikes are only hitting 5% of the population. In reality, Roy estimates that at least a third of the population is getting screwed under the so-called Affordable Care Act: As I noted last week, in 2010, the Obama administration estimated that 93 million Americans would be unable to keep their prior health coverage under the narrow grandfathering provisions issued by the administration in June 2010. My colleague Chris Conover estimates that the number is 129 million. And we are here only talking about disruptions to private health plans, and not counting the laws $716 billion in cuts to Medicare. Then, Obama said America would get better care at the same priceor cheaper! But thats wholly inaccurate according to a recent analysis by Forbes: Obamacare forcibly increases the premiums paid by healthy people in order to correct this perceived inequity. And most people are healthy rather than sick, which is why our recent Manhattan Institute analysis of individual-market insurance premiums found that the average state faces a 41 percent increase in rates relative to the old system. Some of these peopleespecially older individualswill benefit from taxpayer-funded subsidies marshaled by the law. But our analysis shows that most Americans will face premium increases, despite the application of subsidies. Finally, the president says we want Obamacare: What we intended to dois to make sure that everybody is moving into better plans because they want em, as opposed to because theyre forced into it. So the government doesnt want to force people onto Obamacare, but youll get fined if you dont get insurance? Roy sums up the truth quite succinctly: Obamacare was explicitly intended to abolish the old market for individually-purchased health coverage, and replace it with a new, more heavily-regulated one that forces healthier and younger individuals to pay more, whether they want to or not. And further: What makes Obamacare such a deeply flawed piece of work is not that it disrupts our existing arrangements, but that it disrupts those arrangements by forcing people to buy costlier coverage. And not only does Obamacare force people to buy costlier coverage, it most significantly punishes a population that is already disadvantaged in our current system: people of average income who buy coverage on their own, and dont benefit from the heavy subsidies enjoyed by people with government- or employer-sponsored insurance. Obamacare is one more national outrage everyone is being forced to suffer. Hey, remember that one time when then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said, we have to pass the health care bill so that you can find out what is in it? Well, I guess now we know.

1	The five members of the Blitz Cougars paintball team of Ashburn, GA, paid their respects to their fallen compatriots at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Monday. 'None of us served in Vietnam, but we too have witnessed firsthand the unspeakable horrors of combat,' said Derek 'Boone' Bechet, 23, the Cougars' team leader. 'Last August, I lost one of my men when a round of Draxxus Inferno sapphire blue caught him right in the temple. Chris was only 19 when he got taken out of the game for good.' Fighting back tears, Bechet bowed his head in silent prayer for his splattered comrade. 
2	BREAKING: Jailed Marine In Mexico Likely To Be Released United States Marine Corps Sergeant Andrew Tahmooressi has reached his fifth month of imprisonment in Mexico, following an accidental trip across the border that resulted in weapons charges. Support for the jailed Marine has continued to grow among the American people. Now, a Mexican diplomat has come forward to say that Tahmooressi will be released for his actionsone of these days. Andres Roemer of the Mexican Consulate in San Francisco recently claimed that Tahmooressi would be able to come home sooner or later. Thats what I think, Roemer claimed. Im not the judgeBut I think so. Meanwhile, the Marine maintains that he crossed into Mexican territory accidentally and even called 911 to try to resolve the situation. You know, when the Mexican military crosses the border with fully automatic assault weapons, we dont arrest them, even though theyre in violation of California law, claimed California State Assemblymen Tim Donnelly. We give them GSPs and send them back where they came from. What do you think? Should Tahmooressi be released? 
1	According to an incident report filed by the Secret Service, special agents responded early Wednesday morning to a distress call from Number One Observatory Circle and arrived to discover Vice President Joe Biden chained to a bed, spread-eagle, with a pair of cutoff denim shorts around his ankles. Though White House officials have refused to comment, the report indicates that Biden told agents his wallet was missing and detailed its contents as a lucky two-dollar bill, a Sizzler gift card, and a Federal Bikini Inspector badge. After further questioning of the vice president, the Secret Service advised local law enforcement to be on the lookout for a stolen white 1981 Trans Am driven by 'this real feisty little firecracker.'

'To think of all that we could accomplish if we just unlocked the remaining 90 percent,' said Dr. Howard Schwartz, who contributed to the sex-organ capacity study. 'Why, the back shaft alone could represent a vast reservoir of untapped potential. It's frightening, but we, as a species, have barely scratched the surface of our genitals.' Schwartz maintained, however, that with enough time and late-night exploration, human beings could someday live up to 'the promise of their junk.'

During a basketball game recently, the Obamas showed up in the famous kiss cam. However, what happened next wasnt exactly a display of romance. When the kiss cam focuses in on the Obamas, Michelle initially claps her hands. When she realizes she is actually supposed to kiss her husband, she shakes her head and looks hesitant. The camera stays focused on the couple, revealing an extremely awkward interaction as Michelle refuses to kiss her husband. What do you think? Do Michelles actions speak louder than words when it comes to her marriage? 
2	You Wont Believe The Mean Nickname Michelle Obama Is Being Given By Her Colleagues Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is the latest to publicly accuse Michelle Obama of being a tranny. Just weeks after comedian Joan Rivers called Obama the first gay president, Jones in coming to her defense, claiming that her statement was accurate given that Michelle is a transsexual. Well, Joan Rivers talked about it the other day, and now its an international news story, Jones claimed, The question is Who is Michelle Obama? Is she really a woman? Is she a man? He continued on to say, Every time I look at Michelle or Michael Obamathe first lady, or first trannysomething doesnt look right. What do you think? Are Jones comments taking things to far or do you support his argument? 
3	Obamas new brain-mapping project is already a Lilliputian disasterJon Rappoport The utopian technocrats, whove been predicting that, by the middle of this century, they will create an artificial brain that outstrips the one inside the skull, are suddenly on vacation. Theyre mumbling and backing away. Its the old put up or shut up. Theyre shutting up. Theyve got nothing. I guess paradise is postponed. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Obamas Manhattan Project of the brain, launched in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre, is a sop to make suckers think science can stop murders by making accurate predictions based on some monumental, all-encompassing portrait of the mind. The current debate, sparked by Obamas launch, centers around which paradigm should be utilized in this Magellan voyage through our gray matter. Thats just a cover-up. Nobody has the faintest idea about which approach will work. Part of the reason? The titanic complexity of brain activity is always changing, moment to moment. So even a perfect snapshot, frozen in timewhich scientists have no idea how to executemeans almost nothing in the next split-second. The adage about never stepping in the same river twice applies perfectly to the brain. In past articles, Ive demonstrated that, of the 297 official mental disorders, none can be tested for. The diagnosis in every case is a fiction. That is to say, there is no scientific basis for labeling a person with such a condition or prescribing a drug. Ive also written extensively on the toxic destruction wrought by the drugs. Behind all of this, then, what is a mental disorder? Its a social construct invented by psychiatrists and their allies to carve up the concepts of mind, brain, behavior, and thought. This construct is primarily inhibiting, which means that a kind of ceiling is created on human experience and consciousness. If you go there, or there, or there, or there, you have an illness, a disease, a disorder. Control. Stay here, dont go there. This area means youre all right; that area means youre not all right. But of course, millions of people like the fiction. They like it for various reasons. And they absolutely insist on equating the fact that people suffer, have problems, lose control, cant fit in, feel pain, are confused, with the idea of mental disorders. They feel compelled to make that connection. Theyll die making that connection. These people want to be inside the prison called super-organized society, where mental disorders make sense. Thats where theyre comfortable. Thats where they feel they belong. Thats their area of expertise. Thats where they know how to maneuver. Labels make them feel safe. The more labels the better. They enjoy tossing the labels around, as if theyve attained special technical knowledge that equips them to make important judgments. As if there is any basis for those judgments, when of course there is no basis at all. But delusions can be friends. The greatest ops in the history of planet Earth have always focused on the mind, because thats where the action is. Thats where people learn to give in. Thats where people learn how to adjust, perceive, and settle on some basic notion of what reality is all about. The basic purpose of a psyop is this: 2 plus 2 equals 5, AND that is really saying 2 plus 2 equals 4. There it is. Thats what a psyop does. So when Pavlov and Freud began to publish their findings, other men who were quite interested in societal control and organization peeped in and realized they had something astonishing on their hands: a false way to educate the masses about the mind itself. What an enterprise that would be! You see, this is what your mind is. This is how it is structured. And there are these disorders, and they help define the mind. They make things clear. Learn about this. Accept it. Live with it. Understand your own mind. Heres how to do it. Just as the Roman Church (the old Roman empire, reorganized to conquer by other means) once took all of history, took key events in history and recast them as mere symbols of underlying metaphysical Church doctrine, thereby cutting off adherents from the richness and vitality of the past, so this 20th-century psyop has distanced people from the free and untrammeled energies of their own minds. Todays psychiatrist, the secular priest in a white coat with a medical degree, with 297 mental disorders to play with, and patients lining up for drugs, is the foot soldier in a vast op to train the mind to think about itself in very specific and narrow terms. Moral and intellectual midgets like Hillary Clinton and a bevy of beautiful celebrities, enlisted as dupes, work the angle of removing the stigma from a mental-disorder diagnosis, as if that were a real problem, instead of a down-and-dirty 2am infomercial hustle. Gone are the days when psychologists and psychiatrists made statements like this: The cry for freedom is a sign of suppression. It will not cease to ring as long as man feels himself captive. As diverse as the cries for freedom may be, basically they all express one and the same thing: The intolerability of the rigidity of the organism and of the machine-like institutions which create a sharp conflict with the natural feelings for life. (Wilhelm Reich, Work Democracy, 1937) Rooting [yourself] in work is crucial to any accomplishment. Rooting in mere enthusiasm will in the long run force illusory measures to keep the fires of empty enthusiasm going. And this makes politics and politicians.(Reich, Writings, 1951) If the psychic energies of the average mass of people watching a football game or a musical comedy could be diverted into the rational channels of a freedom movement, they would be invincible. (Reich, The Mass Psychology of Fascism, 1933) A terrorist is the product of our education that says that fantasy is not real, that says aesthetics is just for artists, that says soul is only for priests, imagination is trivial or dangerous and for crazies, and that reality, what we must adapt to, is the external world, a world that is dead. A terrorist is a result of this whole long process of wiping out the psyche. (James Hillman, psychologist) Instead, we have this (an opening statement in a recent psychiatric study): Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is highly comorbid with alcohol disorders (AUDs) and cannabis dependence. However, the temporal sequencing of these disorders has not been extensively studied to determine whether SAD serves as a specific risk factor for problematic substance use. This is the language of the machine, adapted for human use, with the human under observation viewed as a machine. It is the language whose basic building blocks are categories of scientifically non-existent disorders. It is a tinker-toy language applied to the mind. It is to the actual mind and imagination as a junk-heap robot is to Keats or Yeats or Dylan Thomas. It is a sign of a fools errand such as the world has never seen. Yet, it captivates. People want to learn more, as they might want to learn more about how a dinner table was set in an old English manor; where each fork was placed and what it was for, how the napkins were folded, how many glasses went with each place setting. People think they are being given a window on the brain. However, they are being instructed in a reduction of energy, life, and joy with each lesson, with each little foray into mechanistic sophistry. Psychiatry is the language of bureaucracy. Every sentence sits on a presumption that in turn refers to a department where people bend over work they will transfer to a division which will rearrange it and coordinate it with other incoming streams of senseless calculation. Yes, well, we thought that disorder A preceded B 37% of the time, but we were mistaken. A more accurate figure would be 41%, and even then we have to take into account the overlapping symptoms of disorder C Not only is psychiatry a grand op, its also a phenomenon arising from the fact that people want to submerge and bury their discontents, which they see no way to explore. In this sense, psychiatry and psychology become theater. The participants take on roles based on the premise that there is no way out. No way out of being a dutiful citizen inside a highly organized prison of social and political choices. Be a person with a disorder. Be a person who can express emotion within the context of having problems. In the middle of writing this, I went into the living room and turned on the TV set. I saw a close-up of a woman crying on the Dr. Phil show. I have no idea what she was crying about, but I did see, quite clearly, that she was having the time of her life, the only time of her life. She was digging her hole deeper, because it was something to do. It was something far better than the routine of a day spent distracting herself from a mysterious X she knew nothing about and wouldnt dare inhabit. That X is boredom of the soul. It can extend light years in every direction, because it has nothing to with society. Society becomes the occasion, the means to express boredom. Show me a place where the people always follow the rules and the customs and I will go there, because then I can reveal how exhausted I am. This is a grand tradition. It is even expressed in the ancient Greek myths. Behind all the power and action and rage and lust of the Olympian gods, those great myths invented by the Greek poets, there was the unmistakable scent of weariness. The immortals had nothing better to do than interfere with the humans below. The gods would invent the slightest infraction they could interpret as a slight, deserving punishment. He wandered through the forest and by accident came upon me when I was naked, so I turned him into a stag. Psychiatry and its allied therapies feed on boredom. They stretch it and twist it and cut it and label it. They may say that, indeed, they are concerned with the soul, but it is a lie. They are dealing with a synthetic imitation, fabricated within the structure of a dwindling civilization cut off from its vital energies. People who choose to live inside that structure are emotionally bored, cosmically bored, universally bored, psychically bored. The breakout of the individual, the Soul, is not going to be accomplished through the help of a university-trained acolyte with an advanced degree. Instead, inside the ever-more structured rules-and-regulations civilization, progress is defined within the space of a freeze-dried concentrate, a commercial package, a mechanical artifact that is never you, never me, never any of us, but only seems to be. Under the terms of the implied contract, the professional expert says to the patient: give me a you that isnt you and I can help him; give me a cartoon of yourself and I will cure it. And the patient says: here it is; go to work on it; just dont touch the real center of the storm, my psyche; dont set sail for that place and neither will I; we both know that land is beyond any adjustments you or I, as representatives of this shrunken society, can engineer. Its not quite like the myth of the knights of old, crossing the threshold into the Mystery, where life itself takes on larger meaning, and great spontaneous creation rises in the unending sky every morning. Its not anything like that. Its not meant to be. Its meant to be a virtual fraud that operates on a shrunken desiccated version of ourselves. Its meant to be a scientific expedition to catch life in a net and pin it to a board. Its meant to be a potion we drink, whereby we shrivel to tiny dimensions, and then discover everything looks bizarre, precisely because weve reduced ourselves. And then we need help. Then we need experts. Then we need a brain-mapping project, a preposterous babble of assurance that our experience is comprehensible and curable. Of course, the real cure is finding a way to attain our actual size, which is without boundaries. Then and only then do we begin to see our lives. Then we see the skies beyond the cartoon sky. Then we see the great adventure. Then we feel the cosmic boredom of the soul disintegrate. Then we feel Freedom, not freedom. Then we shrug off these fools and operators who are trying to enthrall us with their yak-yak-yak sewing machines of false knowledge. RELATED ACTIVIST POST ARTICLE: linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	Following a 12th consecutive day of fighting, a puzzled and frustrated President Bush confided to military advisors Monday that he 'really figured the war would be over by now.' Bush endures another tedious meeting with (left to right) Vice-President Dick Cheney, CIA director George Tenet, and Chief of Staff Andrew Card. 'It's been almost two weeks,' said Bush, commander-in-chief of the 255,000 U.S. troops currently in the Persian Gulf. 'What's taking so long? Will the Iraqi regime just topple, already?' Though Bush has repeatedly declined making public comment on the expected duration of the war, in private he has expressed annoyance with the way the invasion is 'dragging on.' 'I knew the war would require courage and fortitude on the part of American people,' Bush said. 'What I didn't know was that it would go on for days and days and days.' Though Bush said that receiving reports from U.S. field commanders was thrilling at first, he has grown tired of the repetitive updates. 'The first couple days were really exciting,' Bush said. 'I was having all sorts of cool strategy meetings with these high-level military men I don't usually talk to, and it all felt very historic. But now, it's gotten to be kind of a monotonous grind. It's always, 'The line has advanced this much.' 'We need to wait for backup here.' 'We're making good progress, but it's been complicated by blah blah blah.' It's all these tedious, same-sounding details. Can I hear something new for a change, like 'They surrender,' or 'Saddam's dead'? Somethinganything but more stupid reports of sandstorms.' Though he is proud of the nation's military, Bush said he doesn't understand why it can't speed things up a bit. 'I don't think my dad's war took this long, and we've got much better weapons now,' Bush said. 'I talked to him on the phone the other day and, although he didn't say it, I could tell he was disappointed that I'm not doing it faster than him.' On Sunday, Bush called Gen. Richard Myers, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to discuss the war's progress. 'I didn't complain about how slow it's going, because I know he's working hard and wants to conquer Iraq as much as I do,' Bush said. 'But I did sort of hint that the faster we win, the more impressive our military will look to the world. So hopefully that'll light a fire under him.' Bush asked Myers for a 'guesstimate' regarding the length of the war, but the general said he couldn't give one. Myers also denied the president's subsequent request for 'even a rough guesstimate.' Bush said 'it was fun to be in charge of a war and stay up all night,' but the fatigue is starting to set in. 'I haven't gotten more than seven hours of sleep a night since I gave Saddam the 48 hours,' Bush said. 'I thought I'd get to play a few games of golf when we went to Camp David two weekends ago, but we worked the entire time.' Bush's staff has noted his rising level of irritation. 'I know George thinks it should be over, but he's got to realize that this is a complicated thing,' National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice said. 'He doesn't have to keep snapping at us.' According to Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, Bush continually finds excuses to slip away from briefings, even resorting to ringing his own secure phone for a fake 'emergency.' 'We've been going easier on him the last few days,' Wolfowitz said. 'At first, we informed him of every new development, because that's what he wanted. Now, we pretty much limit it to the essentials.' 
2	BREAKING: Obama Caught Funding The ISIS If there is one thing the American people have learned as of recent, it is that there is the truth, and then there is the administrations version of the truth. And the most recent truth is that the government is continuing to fund terrorist groups to fuel their own agenda. Weve been told that we have been funding rebels in Syria. What we are not told is what this actually means. What President Obama and his administration has been doing is actually funding ISIS, the same terrorist organization that has been causing major devastation in Iraq. Of course, skeptics assume that the president is hoping that the funding eventually makes more money on the back end. Watch the video below and let us know what you think: 
3	America In Decline: The New Paradigm of Lowered ExpectationsMichael Snyder, Contributor It doesnt matter that America is in decline and that our economy is not producing nearly enough jobs for everyone anymore. In our society, one of the primary things that defines our lives is what we do for a living. Just think about it. When you are out in a social situation, what is one of the very first things that people ask? They want to know what you do. Well, if you dont do anything, then you are not part of the club. But the worst part of being unemployed for many Americans is the relentless pressure from family and friends. Often they have no idea how hard it is to find a job in this economy especially if they still have jobs. Sometimes the pressure becomes too great. Sadly, we are seeing unemployment break up a lot of marriages in America today. Things are really hard out there right now. A very large number of highly educated Americans have taken very low-paying service jobs in recent years just so that they can have some money coming in even as they look for something else. Unfortunately, in many cases that something else never materializes. In the past, America was the land of opportunity where anything was possible. But today America has become the land of lowered expectations and the worst is yet to come. We live during a time when the American Dream is literally being redefined. In the old days, just about anyone could get a good job that would pay enough to make it possible to buy a house, buy a nice car and raise a family. The town of Lorain, Ohio, used to embody this dream. It was a place where you could get a good job, raise a family and comfortably retire. Now you can see what it is. Nothing, says John Beribak. The shipyards are gone, the Ford plant is gone, the steel plant is gone. His voice cracks as he describes the town hes lived in his whole life. I mean, I grew up across the street from the steel plant when there was 15,000 people working there, he says. My dad worked there. I worked there when I got out of the Air Force. Its just sad. We live in an economy that is in serious decline. In this environment no job is safe. In fact, even Goldman Sachs is laying off workers these days. Millions of Americans are suffering from deep depression because they cant find jobs. Many of them are sitting at home right now blankly starting at their television screens as they wonder why nobody wants to hire them. Some have been unemployed for years and have sent out thousands upon thousands of resumes. The following is from a recent article by J.P. Hicks. I have a brilliant cousin with a $180K Syracuse education working part-time at a department store. She has literally sent out 38,000 resumes in the span of a year to no avail. I have another very bright friend with the kindest heart who is so desperate he has applied for dishwashing jobs and didnt get them, sending him deeper into depression. Im sure we all know people like this, or perhaps have even been there ourselves. Society has trained us to believe that we are worthless without a job. Indeed, we feel worthless when we are unemployed with few prospects of making money. Family, friends, and peers constantly remind us in subtle and not-so-subtle ways that we need a job. Have you ever been unemployed? How did it make you feel? How were you treated by your family and friends? In the old days, a college education was almost a guaranteed ticket to the middle class. But these days, a college education guarantees you absolutely nothing. As a recent article by Jed Graham detailed, most young unemployed workers in America today have at least some college education. For the first time in history, the number of jobless workers age 25 and up who have attended some college now exceeds the ranks of those who settled for a high school diploma or less. Out of 9 million unemployed in April, 4.7 million had gone to college or graduated and 4.3 million had not, seasonally adjusted Labor Department data show. Overall, 53 percent of all Americans with a bachelors degree under the age of 25 were either unemployed or underemployed last year. It is tough to tell young college graduates with their whole lives ahead of them that they need to lower their expectations because America is in decline. So where did all the jobs go? Well, one place they went is overseas. Over the past couple of decades, millions upon millions of good jobs have left the United States and have gone over to the other side of the world. That is why you see gleaming new factories going up all over China even while our once great manufacturing cities are turning into crime-infested warzones. But as a recent WND article reported, the WTO has a solution. They plan to replace Made in China labels with Made in the World labels so that we dont feel so bad about losing our jobs and our economic infrastructure The World Trade Organization is moving closer to eliminating country-of-origin labels and replacing them with Made in the World initiative labels because they say we need to reduce public opposition to free trade and re-engineer global governance. As the number of middle-class jobs has steadily declined in recent years, the number of low paying service jobs has increased. In a previous article, I discussed how approximately one out of every four U.S. workers now makes $10 an hour or less. Could your family survive on 10 dollars an hour? Today, you can find hordes of very smart, very talented Americans flipping burgers, waiting tables and welcoming people to Wal-Mart. Sadly, the United States now has a higher percentage of workers doing low wage work than any other major industrialized nation does. Perhaps we should applaud our leaders for doing such a great job of destroying the American Dream. Because so many Americans are working crappy jobs, a very large percentage of them have absolutely no savings to speak of. According to one survey, 42 percent of all American workers live paycheck to paycheck. I am constantly encouraging people to save up an emergency fund that will enable them to pay their bills for at least 6 months if they suddenly become unemployed. Unfortunately, for many Americans that is simply not possible. Way too many families are just barely scraping by from month to month. Another area of the economy where Americans are facing lowered expectations is in housing. In the old days, most Americans dreamed of owning their own homes. But today we are being told that things have changed. For example, a recent USA Today article was entitled Home rentals the new American Dream?. Steve and Jodi Jacobson bought their Phoenix-area dream home in 2005. They built flagstone steps to the front door. They tiled the kitchen and bathroom. They entertained often, enjoying their mountain views. We put our soul into that house, says Steve Jacobson, 37. Then, home prices tanked more than 50%. Steve, a software quality assurance engineer, suffered pay cuts. In 2010, foreclosure claimed the home and their $100,000 down payment. The Jacobsons didnt lose their desire to live in a single-family home, however. They now rent one, like many other former homeowners displaced by foreclosure. Is that what we are supposed to tell future generations of Americans? Listen Johnny and Suzie, if you work really, really hard at your minimum wage jobs perhaps someday you will be able to rent a home that has been foreclosed by a big, greedy bank. It is so sad to watch what is happening to this country. These days many Americans are scratching and clawing and doing everything that they can to make it, but they still find themselves short on money at the end of the month. Many are turning to debt in an attempt to bridge the gap. According to CNN, 40 percent of low- and middle-income households are using credit cards to pay for basic living expenses. Overall, U.S. consumers have more than 11 trillion dollars in debt right now. That is an incredible number. As the economy has declined, a lot of families have completely given up trying to make it on their own and have turned to the U.S. government for financial help. Today, an astounding 49.1 percent of all Americans live in a home where at least one person receives government benefits. Just think about that number for a while. It is one of the clearest signs that America is in deep, deep decline. Unfortunately, things are about to get even worse. The next wave of the financial crisis is unfolding in Europe and we will all be talking about another major global recession very soon. That means that unemployment in the United States is going to get a lot worse. For the millions upon millions of Americans that are already suffering through the horror of unemployment, that is really bad news. Posted below is a trailer for a new HBO documentary entitled Hard Times: Lost on Long Island. Please take a few minutes to watch this video, because I think it does a good job of showing the soul crushing despair that many unemployed Americans are going through right now. So do any of you have any stories of lowered expectations to share? Please feel free to post a comment with your thoughts below. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

1	Explaining that the practice is just flat-out bizarre if you think about it, President Obama admitted to reporters Wednesday that he gets incredibly freaked out when people stand over him and smile every time he signs a bill into law. They form this peculiar little semicircle around me, flash these big, forced grins, and watch over my shoulder as I write my signaturethe whole thing really just weirds me out, said Obama, adding that he would much prefer signing new legislation alone in the Oval Office without anyone breathing down my neck. Its always some members of Congress or my cabinet, and there are usually some small business owners or veterans or whatever, but the absolute worst is when a group of little children literally surround my desk and hover over me as I sign a bill. Its so creepy. Obama, however, expressed some measure of relief, anticipating that he will only have to endure the uncomfortable situation on one or two more occasions before leaving office. 
1	Representatives from the emirate of Dubai announced with disappointment this week that its recent debt crisis has forced developers to halt construction on the city's long-planned 22-mile-long indoor mountain range. Planners continue to take future reservations for the mountains' 9 and 10-star hotels. The culmination of a decade's worth of ambitious and expensive building projects, Dubai's estimated $100 billion debt officially brought work on the artificial mountain range to a stop on Tuesday. 'This is a very sad day for the emirate of Dubai,' Crown Prince Hamdan bin Mohammed al-Maktoum told reporters at a press conference held inside the gold-plated anti-gravity chamber in his palace. 'Although I believe it is the basic right of all who visit us to be able to scale to the top of a 15,000-foot-tall manmade snowcap, these tough economic times have made it an impossibility. Never before has our proud municipality faced such a grave crisis.' Added Sheikh Hamdan, 'The time, I'm afraid, has finally come for us to tighten our jewel-studded belts.' With only seven of the planned 19 peaks completed and the artificial glaciers only partially frozen, the real estate firm Nakheel now says the landmark Alps Dubai development will miss its planned April 2011 opening date, and with it, the controlled volcanic eruption that would have commemorated the event. Some of the more conservative construction projects completed before Dubai's financial meltdown. 'Everything had been progressing right on schedule,' said project manager Zayed Kemaar. 'The plate tectonics were almost in place, we were getting good vulcanism, and we had helicopter-loads of marble and schist arriving every day from Switzerland. We even had herds of pure-white albino bighorn rams standing on five of the peaks. Then, of course, the bottom fell out, and now we barely have the money to keep the air conditioning on.' Added Kemaar, 'It just goes to show you that, when the economy is down, vital infrastructure projects like this are always the first to suffer.' A number of Dubai officials have even speculated that the cornerstone Jabal Khalifa mountain, which, at 27,100 feetnot counting the 300-foot-tall Lebanese-cedar log flume atop the casino at the summitwould have been the sixth-highest peak in the world, may have to be canceled entirely. 'At this rate, we may be forced to dip into the vast diamond mines we installed in the center of the city last February,' Kemaar said. Across the city there are signs of how deeply the overall economic climate of Dubai has been affected. Thousands of VIP tables sit empty, Lamborghinis clog dealership lots, and, with many unable to afford the usual imported pet foods, the streets are filled with starving stray snow leopards and feral peacocks. Empty glass tubes, once intended to contain seawater in which the city's fleet of nuclear commuter submarines would travel, hang forlornly 30 stories overhead. As the emirate reels from the news of the mountain range's suspension, developers and government officials alike remain stymied on the best course of action for resolving the debt crisis and resuming work. 'Maybe this cold hard dose of reality is what Dubai needed,' said Sheikh Hamdan, adding that he remained 'hopeful' his mountain range would one day be completed. 'Maybe it's time for us to pull ourselves up by the straps of our handmade custom-fitted patent-leather Italian boots and put our slaves back to work. Only through ingenuity, perseverance, and forced labor can Dubai get back to being Dubai again.' 'And mark my words,' he added, 'We will still put a man on the artificial moon we're building by 2025.' 
2	Gay Pride Parade Supporters Attack Christian Preacher [VIDEO] The nation has broken out in a heated debate following the Supreme Courts controversial decision to legalize gay marriage. While liberals claim that the ruling ensures a basic human right, conservatives argue that the ruling violates the First Amendment guarantee of religious liberty. Perhaps those who are most concerned about the ruling are Christians, who worry that they will be forced to act in a way that violates their beliefs. The matter has already caused several instances of violent confrontation. A recent video shows two street preachers being brutally beaten by a crowd celebrating at a gay pride festival in Washington, D.C. The entire encounter was caught on video, and the footage is now being circulated on social media. The only thing that the preachers did to instigate the attack was practice their rights to freedom of religion and freedom of speech, by holding signs that read Jesus Saves From Sin. What do you think of the attack? Is this a warning of many more violent confrontations to come? Did the Supreme Court make a serious mistake? 
2	What Rosie ODonell Just Did To Trumps 10 Year Old Son Will Make You Absolutely Sick Two days ago, Rosie ODonnell outraged the public when she speculated that Trumps 10-year-old son with wife Melania is on the autism spectrum. The classless host tweeted out a video which argued that Trumps son is likely autistic. The claims were unfounded and ill-willed; meant only to attack the poor child. Barron Trump Autistic? ODonnell tweeted. [I]f so, what an amazing opportunity to bring attention to the AUTISM epidemic. Heres how people responded to this extremely low blow: @Rosie @YouTube Wow, just when I thought you couldnt go any lower. Youre exploiting a 10yr old boy, using hypotheticals, rather than fact, @Catherine_CNA tweeted. @Rosie @YouTube as a parent of a child with autismI am extrmly insultd. This wasnt meant 2 help raise awareness. Just plain cruel, @teddswater added. What do you think of Rosies tweet? Is this extremely disturbing? 
2	Obama Is In Deep Trouble After Video Surfaces Of Him Admitting THIS The media has been going after Ben Carson all week. Finally they have turned their attention back to Obama: where it belongs. Obama talks about how his parents met in this video that just surfaced. He says that the 1965 Selma Voting Rights March was what led to his parents marriage and his birth. The crazy thing is, Obama was born in 1961, four years before this march happened. Watch for yourself in the video below. Is Obama a complete fraud? 
3	How HIV Became the US Governments Most Successful Bio-WeaponSusanne Posel, Contributor It is estimated that an excess of 30,000 gorillas are killed in Cameroon each year for their meat. The habits of tribes like those in Cameroon are now being blamed for the transmission of viruses like the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which is purported by mainstream scientists to have originated in chimpanzees. Babila Tafon of the Ape Action Africa (AAA) a primate sanctuary claims to have found a new virus in the apes arriving at the AAA. It is a simian foamy virus, closely related to HIV. Tafon explains: A recent survey confirmed this is now in humans, especially in some of those who are hunters and cutting up the apes in the south-east of the country. Transfer of viruses from ape to human occur when the primate bites or scratches, however, some assert that eating primate meat (although cooked) is a transferable way for the new virus to reach humans. Professor Dominique Baudon, the director of the Cameroon Centre, blames the practice of eating bushmeat for the transfer of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) which then trans-mutated into HIV in humans. Matthew Dolan, co-author of the study suggests: The question researchers asked was: how do some people exposed to HIV contract the virus while others do not? The study analyzed more than 1,200 US military service men and women infected with HIV to answer questions about the genetic aspects of the disease. These researchers did not consult Wangari Maathai, a Kenyan ecologist and Nobel Peace Prize winner, who says thatHIV was created deliberately in a laboratory as a biological weapon. Maathai stated at a press conference after receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize that: Maathai maintains that HIV was created by, She asserts that HIV was created for the purposes of population control in Africa. Dr. Alan Cantwell, MD agrees with Matthais summation of the origins of HIV. Cantwell explains: Cantwell believes that primates were injected with various cancer-causing and immunosuppressive viruses, as part of primate animal cancer research conducted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). In the 1970s, at Fort Detrick in Maryland, Richard Nixon joined the NCI with the militarys biological warfare unit. Cantwell asserts: Dr. Robert Strecker has explained in his books that Africans were infected with HIV during the smallpox vaccine distribution; as laid out by WHO in a memorandum from 1972. While AIDS are first announced in 1981, there were yet no reported cases proving that there was an African epidemic. Those populations in underdeveloped nations like Africa succumb to the disease much quicker. Because of the lack of access to medical care, up to 40% of the population is estimated to be killed off. Experiments conducted by Myron Max Essex at Harvard explained that prior to the HIV outbreak in Africa scientists had foreknowledge that retroviruses cause immunosuppression, by studying feline leukemia viruses. Robert Gallo, who participated in this research, later admitted that HIV was a government created bio-weapon. According to an annual volume of the Special Cancer Virus Program , human experimentation with cancer-causing and immunosuppressive viruses was essential. With the gay plague and gay cancer, such experiments were no longer necessary. The deaths of thousands of gay men proved with these viruses caused cancer, immunosuppression, and were sexually-transmissible between people. Just as the human radiation experiments administered radioactive elements to unsuspicious Americans, so the HIV virus was unleashed onto the unsuspecting African people receiving a smallpox vaccine. Last month the first human study conducted for clinical trials commenced with the hopes from the pharmaceutical industry that Vacc-C5, the HIV vaccine, would prove successful. Oslo University hospital hosted the study of Bionor Pharma ASAs Vacc-C5 believed to slow down or stop induction of immune hyper-activation. This vaccine attacks the viruss ability to produce, therefore making it the perfect candidate to be a preventive vaccine; administered to everyone eventually. However, a vaccine trial conducted by rival drug corporation Merck, the HIV Vaccine Trial Network and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases claimed that 24 of 741 volunteers who got the vaccine in one segment of the experiment later became infected with HIV, which causes AIDS. In a comparison group of volunteers who got the placebo, 21 of 762 participants also became infected. Propaganda articles in mainstream media are pro-HIV vaccine. They claim that the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNAIDS combined existing research and evidence to develop a Strategic Investment Framework (SIF) for HIV/AIDS that showed that by increasing smart and focused investments now we can turn the tide against this disease and can realistically start talking about the end of AIDS. Nothing could be further from the truth. In recent months Africa has been victim to: The resurgence of MSM coverage in HIV/AIDS is purely to promote the new HIV vaccines that are currently being researched by pharmaceutical corporations in conjunction with government bio-weapons agencies. While the purpose of the vaccine to cure HIV will no doubt be preventative; meaning everyone will be expected to get the immunization, the threat of large amounts of the worlds populations becoming infected with HIV will become a reality in the near future.

3	Pink Slime Back in Schools? It Never Actually Left...Heather Callaghan The literal bottom line here is we dont want it but many would have accepted it if food companies were transparent. Its not a companys job to decide whats best to feed the world or whats best for our wallets (more like their wallets) and nutritional value. They provide a food commodity for money and with the buyers consent and trust. A sterilized chemical filler is not what consumers thought they were buying. The betrayal will never be forgotten. After the PR nightmare of pink slime, consumer wrath caused many fast food companies, restaurants, and grocers to drop it. Many pundits claimed the USDA was dropping the chum from school lunches. Yeah, that actually never happened.Heres why First, the USDA only left the door open for schools to drop it if they so choose. The headlines really got it wrong here. The USDA never dropped or forced schools to stop serving meats with pink slime in fact, they love the stuffin schools. They bought 7 million pounds of it for the spring of 2012 school lunch program. The program makes up 20 percent of school cafeteria food and 60 percent of the schools ground beef. They still, to this day, applaud its safety and nutrition. Will the schools opting out withstand the next round of pressure now that the public fervor has died and the USDA continues to say its totally safe and nutritious? Will they do that in the face of more budget cuts when they are always looking to cut any expense? Another harsh public school reality: food comes last. Dead last. It comes after Art programs, P.E., Drama, and Band which are always threatened with cuts. Beef Products Inc., the company who produced LFTB, had to shut down three branches one of them is still open. Who do you think its customers are? So its interesting to hear talk of pink slime returning as though its suddenly rearing its ugly head. Its not; it just never completely went away. And now, if people are not too tired from the previous outcries they can try again or, opt out themselves. Its never going away none of the abysmal crap in school cafeterias is ever going away. Its still haunting to think of celebrity chef Jamie Oliver on his former series Food Revolution, going in and revamping the cafeterias with fresh food on budget only to come back next school year and find slop. We order school food a year ahead of time, this is the only way we could keep within budget, was the response. Apathy had completely set in after all of his hard work. Forsaking federal school lunch programs can also mean forsaking hundreds of thousands of dollars for the school, and many of them do order far in advance with contracts. Furthermore, the USDA and FDA have completely escaped scrutiny in this matter. They ushered it in and deemed it safe. So of course industrial food companies and large-scale animal farms would clamor at this fine opportunity to sell garbage scraps to BPI. BPI had a marketable product, and meat products could be sold at the same prices with filler. After the outcry, stores and restaurants redeemed sales by disassociating, farmers cant very well sell the scraps, and BPI is left pink-handed but without sympathy. The meat industry complained and threatened consumers with higher prices, sounding like a Scooby-Doo villain we would have gotten away with it too, if it hadnt been for those pesky consumers. Darn you, Diane Sawwwyyyerrr! How on earth do our safety agencies to whom we pay beau coup bucks get away with patting us on the head and saying there, there eat it, its good for you! No one seems upset that they are cramming it down kids throats and acting like everyone wins. Whats worse, were still not entirely sure of the ingredients or the exact processing of LFTB. At least it would certainly appear that way when a judge recently ordered silence on the processing to protect the companys proprietary secrets. And one more reason bottom-of-the-barrel meat is not leaving the market: after the outrage of treating bacteria meat scraps with ammonium hydroxide gas subsided food irradiation became the new hero! The dirty little secret here is it, too, has been in use for years so that we can eat zapped rotten meat withMRSA and not die. Mmmso nourishing. Those little radiation stickers are removed before they get to the store because radiation is not considered an ingredient or process. You ever get the impression that we are the ones viewed as cattle? The USDA insists this is safe and a part of nutritional requirements for school children. If its at the grocery stores, then no doubt the cheapest stuff winds up at schools, hospitals, and nursing homes. Who would knowingly feed this to children and call it nutrition? Its understandable if people want to stop eating meat after learning some gut-churning industry secrets. But if thats not right for your needs, the wonderful news is you can find your local farmer and know that youre eating highly nutritional, clean foods where the animals were treated humanely. You can see the process with your own eyes. You will soon find, you wont need much of it during meals! It makes sense, too, when you discover that there is little actual meat in processed and fast food. So when you pay a little more for grass-fed fare, youre still paying less than you would buying fake and filler meats that cause inflammation and do not satisfy. The French get this concept of naturally eating less, when its real food. Its way easier to get by on meat portions the size of a light bulb when its real. Another great way to start is an awesome book called Lunch Lessons: Changing the Way We Feed Our Children. Two women revolutionized New York city public schools with fresh organic on budget and even had the children grow their own food. They eagerly ate their own-grown food. Test scores went up, behavioral problems went down. But these inspirational stories never make it beyond their initial novelty. Why arent these the examples held in the light? The system isnt designed to reward true innovation the USDA and FDA under Codex Alimentarius dont actually want people to thrive. You can help change that by reallocating your food budget and spreading the word. In the meantime, this book is also jam-packed with wonderful easy recipes for both you and your childs lunch.

2	Michelle Obama Just Got Hit With A Devastating Blow... Shes Finished Michelle Obama is probably most infamous for her failed school lunch plan, and now school districts are dropping out throughout the country. Students simply cannot stand and will not eat her lunches, and as a result, theyre ending up in trashcans. As if that isnt bad enough, more than one million students have stopped purchasing lunches all together. And thats having a huge impact on school districts, who have lost more than $1 billion trying to implement the program. Just this week, a school district in North Carolina is celebrating their ability to serve their famous buttermilk biscuits after they received a waiver from the government. Were spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars every day throwing away perfectly good food, the schools superintendent Bill Nolte told reporters. And what we would like to do is not to be punished if we put the fruit on the line and let the kids pick it up. If they want the banana or the apple or the pear or whatever the fruit is, they can pick it up and eat it. The North Carolina district isnt the only one who has benefited from straying from the plan. The Sheridan County School District in Wisconsin saw a 25% jump in sales after they booted the program. And lets not forget that Michelles own daughters dont participate. What do you think? Are the Obamas a joke? 
1	Completing his four-month tour of duty in Afghanistan, Prince Harry of Wales admitted in interviews this week to having killed a number of Taliban-looking people while serving with the British Army Air Corps. They were definitely dressed pretty Taliban-y, wearing those scarves and robe things, and they were speaking that al-Qaeda-sounding language, Queen Elizabeth IIs 28-year-old grandson said of the Afghan insurgents he shot and killed while co-piloting an Apache helicopter to provide air support for ground forces. Who else could it have been? Its Afghanistan. Theyre all over this place in their dirty Taliban homes. Those Taliban kids are hard to hit, by the waytheyre quick. Upon returning home, Harry, who is third in line to the British throne, reported sighting numerous Taliban insurgents working in shops, running businesses, and walking around London in plain view. 
1	Explaining that the costs of the service have grown too high in recent years, American Airlines announced Tuesday that it will no longer offer free cabin pressurization to passengers starting March 15. Unfortunately, to stay competitive as a legacy carrier in todays air travel market, it no longer makes economic sense for us to provide breathable air at altitude, said American Airlines CEO Doug Parker, noting that despite the cutbacks, air pressurization would still be available to first- and business-class travelers as well as those willing to pay an additional fee. While we regret any altitude sickness, blood problems, dimmed vision, or hyperventilation that may result from air pressure less than a third normal levels, we remind our customers that such effects will diminish as soon as the aircraft descends below 10,000 feet. Parker added that the company is also planning to discontinue complimentary landing gear on flights under four hours. 
3	The Planned Institutionalization of KidnappingBernie Suarez As children, many of us had parents or a guardian that enforced some level of rules and demanded certain responsibilities of us. Perhaps we looked up to someone as a parent, guardian, or a mentor. But what if everything our parents, guardians, or mentors did in the privacy of home was legally monitored by big government? We later observed that these childhood experiences made us who we are today. But what if a personal, family, and home life learning experience is no longer legal? What if your life was being scripted for you so that you no longer enjoy the natural surroundings of a family home life? Most Americans even today have appreciated a home life that is distinct from their work, school or other aspects of your life; a place that offers a sense of security, familiarity, comfort and above all a sense of privacy from the outside world. This sense of privacy and sense of safety from the outside world is a safety net that every animal on the planet seems to need. Home is your place of dwelling, wherever it is. In fact, one dictionary definition of home reads: a place in which ones domestic affections are centered. Having and maintaining a home is part of our fundamental survival. It also provides humans with a sense of orientation and reference. For this reason we are careful who we invite into our home, and conversely we are more likely to invite only those we trust and care about. But what if government invited themselves into your private home to enforce rules on you at home to control and monitor home activity? As the years have passed, you may have realized the importance of a strong family/home network in personal mental, emotional, and spiritual development. Perhaps if you were raised in a conservative environment or if you had more liberal yet conscientious, spiritual and respectful parents you may have been taught Honor and respect your parent. You probably thought as a kid, why not? After all, your parents brought you into this world, isnt that worth some kind of respect? This all seemed to make sense then. That was then; however, this is now. Enter our current system; a system in which the concept of parents is slowly being phased out. The parental position is being portrayed as a position that, though you may occupy it now, like a job or a license however, government is planning on removing the position from the parents by taking away their children. If parents fall into a category deemed appropriate for parent-child separation, government plans on using this as a tool to remove your children. There are many individuals working toward a global agenda who want to replace parents as the primary guardian of children and they want to replace them with government. Yes government as the primary determinant of the childs welfare. What we are seeing is the dark shadow of tyranny rising in slow motion on America. We are all now seeing systematically and methodically, exactly how and what tyranny and fascism is really all about. The war against parents and children is just beginning to warm up. In the country which has promoted freedom, the American way, the American Dream, and the land of opportunity for so long; the same country who mastered the art of self-promotion and self-righteousness is now having to face the harsh reality that we are now clearly staring down the barrel of tyranny and fascism. The empire is employing a Red Dawn scenario on the unaware. On the surface the perpetrators lie and tell you they come in peace. On paper, however, they are moving as fast as they can to control every form of human activity. First they came to break the family, next they will come to take the family. Amongst the many agendas, there is now a focused effort by our government to legalize kidnapping of our kids by creating a plethora of backdoors to quietly create government records, documentation, recommendations and applicable penalties of your day-to-day, parent-to-child home activities. Even though we know what it takes to thrive as a human being, big government is working overtime to put out the flames of freedom, stifle the focus and self-advancement that thriving consists of, and instead control all human behavior. The tools being used? Redefining what constitutes neglect, a complete undermining of all parental rights and a complete takeover by government of your home sweet home private life. Federal agencies like Health and Human Services (HHS), and Child Protection Services (CPS) are working together to formulate things like the official definitions of neglect, what constitutes a child being at high risk, and what requires government intervention. I had to read this MANUAL for myself after coming across other articles on the topic. To truly understand what this takeover is all about one must consider things like the Affordable Health Care Act (Obamacare), Agenda 21, the climate religion, forced vaccinations, GMOs, depopulation, sustainable cities, gun control, the militarization of police, DHS bullet buying madness, and many more things including the enormous amount of legislation in just the last few years collectively designed to take away all of your rights; you couldnt script this any more predictable and one sided. Additionally, agencies like the FBI are promoting the terrorizing of Internet downloading. This is an obvious attempt to not only censor the Internet but to treat 12-year-old little Johnny in Somewhere, USA as a terrorist for downloading content on the Internet without permission. This act alone may offer multiple avenues by which government can come pick up (or remove, kidnap, transfer, gain custody of etc.) little Johnny for various reasons including terrorism, neglect, or other reasons which may require intervention from a federal agency. This intervention will require a decision to be made by a professional who will use the HHS/CPS manual as a guideline. You get the picture. With the global government agenda in full swing, it is very important for every single American to realize the legislation is being passed at super highway speed. These lightning-speed legislation is for one purpose and one purpose only, and that is to give big government complete unchallenged power over all human activity. Lets remember that those committed to the global government plans are determined to see this nightmare through. History unfortunately has proven repeatedly that the only possible end result of big unchallenged tyrannical governments is death and destruction. What we are seeing is the implementation of Agenda 21 and U.N. global government control plans over humanity in real-time. This is not about America or about freedom and it certainly is not about thriving. Let us thrive and come above the lies. Lets reach as high as we can to be the amazing living beings we were meant to be. We may not know all that we were meant to be, but we know what we were not. We were not meant to be mindless slaves who live in fear, hoping a collectivist governmental system will keep us alive in their own controlled and engineered manner. Big government is clearly knocking on the door of your personal life, will you let them in? What will it take for more people to wake up? Will it really take a season or an era of missing and disappeared children? Will it take big government coming to arrest mom or dad over something that happens at home? Is this what Obamas promise for an army of civilians bigger than our military is all about? Who are these children who will serve in Obamas army? The signs are all around us and there is no time to wait. For America, end times are here. The time is now to expose these slow moving but progressing agendas. Get active and take a stand for freedom before its too late.

2	Darren Wilson Finally Breaks His Silence With THIS Shocking Admission 1 Year After Killing Mike Brown In the past year, Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson has been through hell and back. Despite the fact that Wilson was found to be innocent, he has become the target of hate for shooting 18-year-old Michael Brown. Now, Wilson admits that he is through living his life in fear. Instead, he is focusing on writing a memoir and studying criminal justice. His goal is to build a new life for himself, his wife, and his baby. Sources close to him say that he Wilson has not been able to access more than $400,000 in donations because of a technical issue. Darrens life is over, a close friend told reporters. Every day he is scared for his life and is looking over his shoulder. Knowing that somebody could be coming after you, eventually thats going to get to you and youre going to need some help. The sources went on to claim that Wilson is struggling with money because he has been unable to obtain a tab. We try to go somewherehow do I say this correctly?with like-minded individuals, Wilson confessed in a recent interview. What do you think? Do you support former officer Wilson? 
2	Veteran Finds Something Horrific In His Food, Burger King Tells Him THIS... When Army veteran Clark Bartholomew, 46, entered a Burger King in Hawaii in 2010, he could never have predicted what happened next. When Bartholomew bit into his Triple Stacker, he was shocked to find that the burger was laced with needles. According to the lawsuit filed by Bartholomew, the former Army sergeants tongue was pierced by the needle, and he was later hospitalized when the needle became lodged in his small intestine. Of course, he quickly sued Burger King. He has since been placed on medical retirement and relocated to Virginia. He found employment as a U.S. Parks Police dispatcher. Since I was a new employee, I had no time on the books to take time off to fly from Virginia to Hawaii, for the settlement conference, Bartholomew told reporters. However, Burger King claims that the excuse it not good enough, and has requested that the case be thrown out. Theyre also demanding that their lawyers fees be paid. Now, the veterans attorneys are firing back, accusing the chain of bullying a represented opponent for not appearing at a settlement conference. What do you think of the incident? Does Burger King deserve to be sued? 
3	The One Thing You Need to Know About ISISBy Truthstream Media Im just a dumb yucker in VT, but it seems pretty obvious our enemies are a lot closer that the middle east. Our enemies are those that we have allowed to have all this control over us. You, your children and me and my children along with the rest of this nation are considered useful as long as we fulfill the needs of those in charge.We live to work for their ends, raise children to fight their manipulated wars. Im hoping by your comment that it is a sign that the american people are opening their eyes to all of this, more people need to realize whats going on because the powers that be like to smear the lone voices so their tyranny can continue. deception of the american people? you mean the slaves that are citizens of the USA? Those people? Those people have no say in the matter. They have been dragged down below the level of slaveas we have known it to be. You are merely slaves producing what you can so the military corporation, USA Inc., can continue its imperialism among foreign weakness. The USA places seeds of discord, racism and bigotry among the peoples of all countries to divide them among many levels. The cultural artifacts and historians are destroyed. People are displaced many miles from their home. This is how one attains a one world government with so many people divided among insignificant issues and renouncing their individual sovereignty by either accepting democracy or leaving their country. The new culture of the world and the only culture from this point forward is the culture established by those in power which is one of deceit, genocide, theft and inhumane treatment of the worlds population. You will serve your master according to this new culture or you will suffer and die. Soon this ultimatum comes to the more developed countries like the USA. My hate and disgust toward the powers-that-be is nothing to speak of when compared to us people who are easily divided, easily swayed and complicit in being ignorant to the harsh facts of the evil that rules us. Everyday death and destruction is aimed at the innocent people of this planet. We continue to cheer those responsible for this death and destruction, directly or indirectly, with nary a thimble of consciousness. From an evolution standpoint, its quite dangerous to have a brain and those species of lesser intelligence will survive more readily than you or I. We are our own worst enemy. Ignorance is not bliss. It will be our demise. WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP TO THE FACT OBOOOOMA the magnificent FARCE has done so much damage it will be hard to bring the US of A back without a 3RD REVOLUTIONARY SKLIRMISH being held on AMERICAN soil to take back our great nation . . /////////////// Some have written some very good comments on here, in regard to this issue, so I will only say it is up to those with this mindset to spread the word of truth. She doesnt care because she is still a puppet w/in a bigger conspiracy corruption. There are still handlers bosses she has to answer to. She doesnt operate in a vacuum. And so, since she is part of a bigger secret occult operation, she is obviously being protected by the same hidden hand. So, What difference does it make? Youd like us to believe that It is less important Hillary, because you had something to do w/ it. Thats why youd like to shift the focus away from why, you just want to divert attention to perhaps anyone that could be blamed. However, the Why is very, very, important. We demand to find out Why they were targeted, who is responsible for the Why, That is like trying to fix the symptom of a disease, without fixing the why the disease that caused the symptom in the 1st place. It is very, very basic, very, very important. So dont try to fool us away from a real investigation. So, What difference does it make?, Ill tell you what, it is the difference between a random act of evil, a premeditated crime, Why? Answers the psychological motivation behind the act. Roman Catholic Jesuits commanded by The Black Pope seem to be behind every evil agency. You big anti-Semite!!!! The plan to split up the countries in the middle east is history repeating. This splitting up was also done after the first world war. Maybe it was the reason for the first WW and now is the reason for all this war. 
3	The Top 12 Signs That The U.S. Economy Is Heading Toward Another RecessionMichael Snyder In fact, that would fit with the daily reality of tens of millions of Americans that are deeply suffering in this harsh economic environment. But no matter whether we are in a recession at the moment or not, there are an increasing number of indications that we are rapidly plunging into another major economic slowdown. The following are the top 12 signs that the U.S. economy is heading toward another recession #1 We recently learned that the number of new mortgage applications in the United States had fallen to the lowest level that we have seen in nearly 20 years. #2 Radio Shack has announced that it is going to close more than 1,000 stores. This is just another sign that we are in the midst of a retail apocalypse. #4 Obamacare is really starting to hammer the U.S. health care industry #5 Trading revenue at the too big to fail banks on Wall Street is way down #6 One of the too big to fail banks, JPMorgan, is planning to fire thousands more workers. #7 Moodys has downgraded the credit rating of the city of Chicago again. Now it is just three notches above junk status. #8 The U.S. economy actually lost 2.87 million jobs during the month of January according to the unadjusted numbers. Over the past decade, the only time the U.S. economy has lost more jobs during the month of January was in 2009 at the peak of the last recession. #9 In January, real disposable income in the U.S. experienced the largest year over year decline that we have seen since 1974. #10 Only 35 percent of all Americans say that they are better off financially than they were a year ago. #11 Global retail sales for machinery giant Caterpillar have fallen for 14 months in a row. #12 The economic data show that virtually all of the largest economies on the planet are slowing down right now. The following is from a recent Zero Hedge article For much more on how the rest of the global economy is also slowing down, please see my recent article entitled 20 Signs That The Global Economic Crisis Is Starting To Catch Fire. Meanwhile, things in Ukraine continue to become even more tense, and the Russian government continues to debate how it will respond if the U.S. does end up deciding to hit Russia with economic sanctions. According toone Russian news source, the Russian parliament is actually considering the confiscation of the property and assets of U.S. businesses in Russia if the U.S. decides to go ahead with economic sanctions against Russia We are talking about banks, retail chains, mining operations, etc. U.S. companies have billions invested in Russia, and all of that could be gone in an instant. So let us certainly hope that economic war between the United States and Russia is averted. Our economy is hurting enough as it is. But no matter how things with this crisis in Ukraine play out, it looks like hard times are ahead for the U.S. economy. Unfortunately, most Americans never learned the lessons that they should have learned back in 2008. They just assume that the federal government and the Federal Reserve have fixed our problems and have everything under control, so they are not preparing for the next great crisis. In the end, tens of millions of Americans will be absolutely devastated when they get absolutely blindsided by what is coming. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse.

1	Explaining that she felt relaxed and had a renewed sense of focus, local account manager Kayla Eggert told reporters Monday that she had returned to work from her recent vacation completely refreshed and ready to waste time. Six days in Hawaii was just what I needed to unwind, and its great to come back feeling recharged for another week of dodging emails I dont feel like dealing with and checking Facebook instead of writing up reports, said Eggert, adding that being off the grid at a beachside resort had actually reinvigorated her to get back into the swing of landing a new high score in Candy Crush during staff meetings. Getting away from the office is something you need to do every once in a while. Its a shame I cant take time off more oftenmaking small talk with people in the break room when you should be connecting with clients on a proposal can really wear you down. At press time, a rejuvenated Eggert was avoiding drawing up a project timetable by posting photos of her vacation online. 
2	Melania Gets Earth Shattering News, This Is Heartbreaking... Please Pray For Her In the past few weeks, Donald Trump has become increasingly vocal about the fact that he believes the liberal media has been rigging the election. This weekend, they launched yet another attack when Saturday Night Live created a skit brutally mocking Melania Trump. Of course, the show completely ignored Bill Clinton, even though he would have provided significant material on the subject mannertreating women like objects. Here lies my last nerve, Donald, Cecily Strong says as Melania Trump in the beginning of the pre-taped sketch. The segment was a play on Lemonade, a video in which Beyonce took revenge on her cheating husband. Melanianade is what the liberal media has deemed a perfectly-executed parody of that visual album in which all of the women in Donald Trumps life get back at him for making them defend his despicable misogyny. The video then spins into Melania attempting to tear down Donald Trumps entire world. Alec Baldwin also appears in the video as Trump, in a mock news segment with the words More Accusers Come Forward in the lower third. Melania takes a baseball bat and smashes the television. Watch the segment below and tell us what you think. Has the liberal media gotten way out of hand? 
1	A full eight years following his fatal heart attack, deceased grandfather Martin Whitley continues to talk about Ebbets Field and his experiences at the demolished New York ballpark, individuals close to the dead man confirmed Tuesday. Every time we go to Grandpas grave to pay our respects, you can still hear him down there going on and on about his memories of taking the subway down to Prospect Park to see the Brooklyn Dodgers, and how therell never be another stadium like that ever again, said Whitleys grandson David, telling reporters that despite having been dead and buried for nearly a decade, his grandfather continues to reminisce fondly about Jackie Robinson, the Dodgers 1955 World Series win, and good ol [former play-by-play announcer] Red [Barber]. Anyone who gets within 30 feet of his burial plot can hear his muffled voice complaining about how it absolutely broke his heart when they tore down that beautiful ballpark to put up a bunch of lousy apartment buildings. At press time, the dead man was informing reporters that they just dont make em like Leo Durocher anymore. 
2	Ted Cruz Puts All His Chips In To Support Donald Trump... He Needs Your Help It has been a rough month for president Donald Trump. After a 2005 video was released of the legendary businessman making sexual comments about women, many took to social media and other outlets to revoke their endorsements. Fortunately, a few strong supporters have stood behind Donald Trump, recognizing that his comments do not change the fact that we need to keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House. I am supporting the Republican nominee because I think Hillary Clinton is an absolute disaster, Sen. Ted Cruz said in an interview on Monday. Now, my differences with Donald, I have articulated at great length during the campaign. The endorsement is an important one, especially amid rumors that Cruz had changed his mind about Trump. Last week, Cruz tweeted a response to the video that quickly caught the public eye. This is an election unlike any other, Cruz continued. But Ill tell you, Hillary Clinton, I think, is manifestly unfit to be president. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you applaud Cruz for taking a stand against Clinton? 
3	UN Control Of The Internet Would Mean UN Control Of Free SpeechMichael Snyder, Contributor If you were censored or banned from the Internet, you could scream about the 1st Amendment all you want, but the United Nations is not bound by the 1st Amendment. The UN is not there to protect you or your freedoms. If the UN becomes the government of the Internet, you can essentially kiss freedom of speech goodbye. If you do not believe that this could ever happen, you might want to pay close attention to a UN conference that is being held over in Dubai starting today. It is called the World Conference on International Telecommunications, and it is scheduled to last for two weeks. During this conference, Russia, China and a number of Islamic nations plan to make a hard push to have the Internet formally placed under the authority of the United Nations. Right now, a non-profit organization that is based in California is primarily in charge of running the Internet. The organization is known as ICANN (The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). But now there is going to be a huge effort to take authority away from ICANN and give it to the United Nations. China, Russia and a number of Islamic nations are arguing that the Internet is a global asset and that it should be governed by a global authority. However, if the UN is given authority over the Internet, not only will they inevitably kill the free and open Internet, it will also be a huge leap for the UN toward becoming the government of the world. But is there anyone out there that is actually willing to trust that our politicians will do the right thing on this treaty or on any other major issue? Even if the U.S. did opt out, we could see a Balkanization of the Internet in which the U.S. Internet is largely cut off from the UN Internet that most of the rest of the world is using. So even though this conference over in Dubai is not getting a lot of attention in the mainstream media, the stakes are huge. Even Google is concerned. Google is asking users to sign a petition supporting the free and open Internet A free and open world depends on a free and open Internet. Governments alone, working behind closed doors, should not direct its future. The billions of people around the globe who use the Internet should have a voice. Fortunately, at least some of our politicians are aware of what is going on. Once in a while, one of our lawmakers says something that is right on the money. This was true of U.S. Representative Greg Walden the other day The ability of the Internet to grow is due largely to the flexibility of the multi-stakeholder approach that governs the Internet today, said Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.). Government intervention would not only harm the Web but endanger the global economy and freedom on a much larger scale. But the way that the Internet works now does not work for repressive governments such as China and Russia. Repressive regimes dont do well when there is freedom of speech and freedom of expression. There are a lot of nations out there that would love to use the UN as a tool to crack down on speech that they do not like. And we have certainly seen repressive governments crack down on Internet speech in recent years. All over the world average citizens are getting into trouble for exercising free speech on the Internet. A recent CBC article included some recent examples Last month in Iran, four people were arrested for posting messages on Facebook that were deemed insulting to officials. Four Kuwaitis were jailed for purportedly using Twitter to criticize the countrys ruler earlier in November. And in the most publicized recent case, two women in Mumbai were arrested for posting and liking a comment on Facebook admonishing supporters of late nationalist Hindu politician Bal Thackeray. Can you imagine how bad things would get if the UN developed a global Internet speech policy? Already the UN is expressing concern about how terrorists are able to use the Internet to spread propaganda. The following is from a recent article by Kurt Nimmo Terrorists are exploiting Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Dropbox, to spread propaganda and open Wi-Fi networks in airports and libraries pose a threat to national security and enable perpetrators, according to The Use of the Internet for Terrorist Purposes, a PDF released at a conference in Vienna held by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). The globalist organization claims terrorists are running rampant on the internet and leveraging social networks because there is the lack of an internationally agreed framework for retention of data held by ISPs, particularly in the United States. The United Nations report was produced in collaboration with the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force. Members include the World Bank, Interpol, the World Health Organization, and the International Monetary Fund. This may sound harmless to you, but what if they decide that you are a terrorist if you oppose the United Nations? How would you feel if you were permanently banned from the Internet and thrown in jail for writing a blog post about how evil the United Nations is? Are you starting to get an idea of how this kind of power could be horribly abused? Even now we are seeing law enforcement authorities all over the world enforce the rules of the Internet in an iron-fisted manner. For example, according to NBC News a 10-year-old girl in Finland recently had her laptop confiscated by authorities for simply trying to download one single album Last year, 9-year-old Julietta came across a torrent on The Pirate Bay after searching on Google for Finnish pop star Chisus latest album. The download failed to work, and she and her father went and bought the album together shortly afterwards. Unbeknownst to them, Finlands Copyright Information and Anti-Piracy Centre (known as CIAPC, as well as its Finnish acronym, TTVK) had already taken notice. This incident resulted in Finnish police standing at the front door of the home of this little girl and taking her laptop away Last Tuesday morning, he found a pair of Finnish police officers standing at his doorstep. The police presented a search warrant, entered, and identified the now 10-year-old girls Winnie the Pooh-decorated laptop as the object of their search, and confiscated it. If you think that is bad, then you definitely would not want the UN implementing and enforcing global Internet laws. You see, the United States is one of the only nations on the face of the earth that still guarantees freedom of speech. Of course that freedom of speech is now greatly limited and is being eroded with each passing day, but in most other nations things are even worse. As I have noted previously, in the UK it is now against the law to insult someone with your speech. Many other nations have similar restrictions on freedom of speech. So what would you do if the UN started implementing global speech codes for the entire Internet? How would you fight back? Are you starting to get an idea of how dangerous all of this could potentially be? In the years ahead there are going to be constant efforts to restrict our ability to communicate with one another on the Internet. It is imperative that we oppose those efforts. Please share this article with as many people as you can. The free and open Internet is under attack, and we must speak up while we still can. This article first appeared here at The Truth.

1	Explaining that its just more convenient, local man Andrew Gomez told reporters Thursday that hes gotten in the habit of placing a glass of water on his bedside table before he goes to sleep in case he needs to make a huge, sopping mess in the middle of the night. Sometimes Ill wake up at night, and its nice to be able to reach over and spill water all over my nightstand, comforter, and floor without having to get up, said Gomez, noting that he usually places a brimming cupful of water next to his cell phone and unopened mail so that he can just awaken in a disoriented state and send the glass and its contents careening everywhere while fumbling for it in the dark. Who wants to get out of bed and walk all the way to the kitchen to get a drink of water when they can spend half an hour in the middle of the night frantically drying off their possessions and picking up shards of broken glass? Its definitely much easier this way. Gomez added that, in the event he does not knock over the glass while reaching for it, theres nothing quite like the taste of stale, room-temperature water. 
1	Citing mounting debt and a decline in tourism dollars, the state of Maryland will shut down for good on August 31, Maryland Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. told reporters Monday. A Baltimore-area interstate. 'I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has ever lived in or visited the great state of Maryland,' Ehrlich said at a press conference held on the steps of a boarded-up Capitol Building. 'You are the people who have made this such a wonderful place. Maryland will live on in the fond memories of each of you, even as we liquidate the state's assets.' Ratified as the seventh state in 1788, Maryland has been a favorite haunt for a devoted group of fans. In addition to being the home of the Annapolis U.S. Naval Academy, Maryland is the birthplace of such notable Americans as surveyor Benjamin Banneker, singer Billie Holiday, baseball legend Babe Ruth, and former Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. In spite of its rich history, Maryland has struggled with mounting debt since the '90s, as tourism and tax revenues failed to keep pace with rising expenses. The state has for years fought what many insiders considered a losing battle. 'We had a good run, but we just can't do it anymore,' Ehrlich said. 'The bad economy, increased spending on homeland security, and an increasing Medicaid bill were the final nails in Maryland's coffin. We are simply losing too much money to keep the borders open.' Ehrlich promised that Maryland would not shut down operations until the last day of August, giving longtime fans of the Old Line State an opportunity to visit. 'We wanted to give people a chance to say goodbye,' Ehrlich said. 'Since the rumors of a state shutdown began, I have received thousands of letters and small donations from people all over the country. This means so muchmore than you can ever knowbut despite all the love and devotion, I'm afraid it's just not going to happen.' Ehrlich told the crowd that he did everything he could to keep Maryland open, but in the end no effort proved successful. 'I made across-the-board budget cuts, restructured all of our social services, effected hiring freezes, and emptied out the state's rainy-day fund,' Ehrlich said. 'The last decade has just been exhausting. As much as I love Maryland, I can't say that I'm going to miss the 18-hour days trying to keep this state afloat.' Ehrlich said he received offers to buy out Maryland, but the bids were rejected. 'We had a deal with New Mexico that could have saved us, but it fell through,' Ehrlich said. 'The things [New Mexico Gov.] Bill Richardson wanted to change when he took over went against everything Maryland is all about. Rather than severely compromise our state, we decided instead to pass.' On Sept. 1, the government of Maryland will disband and all state employees will be laid off, a situation Ehrlich calls 'extremely regrettable.' 'Many of these workers have been in Maryland all their lives,' Ehrlich said. 'These folks are like family to me. In fact, some actually are family. The people are why we held on to statehood as long as we did.' Although current residents of Maryland will be allowed to stay in the state until they can arrange to relocate, they must do so without government services. Experts predict the state will become a vast vacant lot within five years. In order to offset some of the debt accrued over the last few decades, Maryland is selling its assets, announcing that 'everything must go' before the state closes. The most sought-after items to be auctioned off include the original first draft of 'The Star-Spangled Banner,' written by Maryland native Francis Scott Key. The rights to Maryland's state flag, bird, and motto are also being sold to the highest bidder. 'Secret [brand antiperspirant] has put in a substantial bid for our motto, Fatti maschii, parole femine, which means 'Manly Deeds, Womanly Words,'' Ehrlich said. 'I also think that Nevada might buy the rights to our state sport, jousting. When we sell the rights to our state song, 'Maryland, My Maryland,' that's when it's going to hit me that it's finally over.' For many longtime fans of Maryland, the closing strikes a deep emotional chord. 'It's just a shame,' said Gene Tupper, a resident of Maryland since 1955. 'I don't think anyone will really understand what it was like to visit the historic Antietam National Battlefield or walk along beautiful Chesapeake Bay back in the prime years. I guess all great things have to end sometime.' Many fans of the state said they hope someone purchases and revitalizes Maryland before it falls into disrepair. 'I don't want what happened to Oregon to happen here,' said Jane Renski, a Maryland resident. 'We drove by the place a few years ago and it was totally abandoned really eerie. The whole state was infested with raccoons.' 
1	As Brian Cashman watched another Yankees starting pitcher struggle during the first inning during Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, the embattled general manager found himself unable to endure the tension any further, ripped off his tie and Oxford shirt to reveal a No. 99 Yankees jersey, and stormed onto the field to pitch eight scoreless innings. 'The amazing thing is that besides Mr. Cashman having absolutely no playing experience, he didn't even warm up,' Yankees pitching coach Ron Guidry said during a post-game press conference. 'He wanted to go the whole game, and sure, I got booed when I pulled him, but I could see him losing a little edge on his curve[ball] around his 100th pitch and we need to save his arm for the rest of the season.' Though Cashman's stellar performance received praise and admiration from Yankees fans, it was overshadowed in the national press by Washington GM Jim Bowden's complete game one-hitter.

UN Agenda 21 = the nudging of anyone who isnt a human tapeworm off the Earth Insider said in 2005 : When masses are made to believe something negative, they may create what they did not want, which is how for instance the NWO, like you people name it, works. You are believing it is taking shape, so it will take shape and theorists are major players in helping this taking shape by bombarding you with facts that it is taking shape. So the people who are waking up to it are the ones who are creating it. If you observe closely you will see we [the controllers] are merely spreading the tools which can be used by you to free yourself or chain yourself, your choice. I understand where your coming from, However, People Need to SEE UNDERSTAND the Truth, before they CAN Stop what is happening! So I disagree with you! Where I do agree, IS people NOT Taking Action, when they are Aware of What IS Happening! Yes, WE the PEOPLE Are the POWER! The UNs New Sustainable Development Goals has unleashed even more profuse geoengineering in California causing loss of life, wildlife, homes, environment, agriculture.. nothing is sustainable here. It appears the genocidal fascists have started in the West working East in their scorched earth policy to destroy America. Ignorant Americans are just going to let it happen.Why the elite have bugged out. Ignorant Americans because Dumbing Down of Education in Schools have been around sine the 60s in CA, IL, and ther liberal run States. Other places as started as late as 1978. Everyone and EVER School, public, privare and Catholic had this type of teaching since 1978, some sooner. Thats one reason we all have gone along with the DC Cartel and have NOT fought back yet. COMMOM commie CORE is 10 times worst with not only dumbing down to a GREATER Degree but also indoctrination of ALLAH is the ONLY God, etc. Also, praising Communist and Islam was of living. The children in pre-k to 12th will ONLY be minions/communist/islam soldiers for tommrow. Thats part of the plan, its in the UN Agenda 21 Plan and we are almost there. Look at the college kids today. any question? The Elite are NOT the only ones bugging out/prepper etc. A lot of Middle Class have a bedroom of food, water, guns, ammo, etc. Some I know get together bought vacant propery in the country and design homes and DEFENSE when it all comes crashing down. Most people believe before and by 2018. 2016 or 2017 most likely. But almost everyone I know is Middle to upper middle class and have been preparing for 3 to 6 years now. Weather manipulation / chem-trail spraying / Medical Mafia Big-Pharma tyranny / GMOs Round-Up Glyphosate causing death destructionwelcome to The New World Order! Good Translation! But you missed two: Goal 11: Inclusive Society aka High Density Stack-n-Packs! None of this has ever been about the earth, or about social justice, it has always been about gaining absolute control of the the planet, its resources, and all human beings. That includes controlling all information flow, and movement of people. Dissenters will be located and eliminatedfor the greater good. The environmental movement may have been unwittingly duped into helping advance the goal. But now, as they benefit from deep pockets greasing their wheels, I suspect most green organizations are fully on-board with the totalitarian plan. Movement of People can also be found in the TPP section named TiSA. City of Phoenix has recently signed on by passing Prop. 104 1PlanPhx, (costing over 32B), along with many other US and global cities. Sustainable development is the key word for all these city plans. Major housing projects are under contruction in every large city across the country, and have been for several years. These are tiny 400 square foot apartments. One of the Agenda 21 goals is to concentrate all the worker ants in the colonies and do away with land ownership. To be clear, private ownership of land will be forbidden. Social Justice IS Communism. Research for PROOF. The Earth is a plantation. 2030 is a mere update of the operations plan.

(Audio visual) Im happy to see a few people commenting on thisit means at least a few of us have our heads out in the sunshinenot like the PDBs who havent a clue or are looking for someone else to tend to their needs. What I will be doing is trying to learn more about the new and improved Agenda 21 and sharing what I learn with everyone I know. I hope youll do the same. Ultimately, we MUST extricate ourselves from the UN and their one world government agenda. I too am researching the UN Agenda and all it entails. Putting as much stuff on social media as I can. The word IS getting out there however slowly. I thought my retirement would be quite different but, spending hours researching and sharing my findings is a good way to give back as they say. This is the reason they demonize Ted Cruz. A constitutionalist would wake up too many people to this global tyranny!!! Looks like freedom is already dead!! Wake Up America!!!! I am also interested in how they will fit into this their current effort to train children to think of themselves as being both boy and girl, the removal of the words pregnant woman from the national midwives associations literature, the removal of the words mother and father from legal/state documents around the Western world, etc. etc.. Seems they are planning to abolish families altogether, perhaps segregate people by gender as a way of ending human reproduction. It is all still unclear, but the rampant corruption in CPS seems to tie into these other issues, in my mind, and point toward something quite horrifying. They definitely have to take away guns to pull off such a scheme and, of course, they do not have infrastructure to support this planning so it may all be just a megalomaniacal fantasy. I think even the left will wake up when the lunatics are snatching their children. you have goal 6 backwards, they want to control the water Bottom line is humans cannot keep reproducing at rabbit rate, and the U.S. government has its eyes closed. Most of this is all smoke and mirrors. Globalist Elites are actually pressing for a new, Islamic Caliphate along Marxist lines. If this is not so, then why the tolerance for mass immigration/invasion; favorable treatment of Islam in the major media; and the widespread encouragement of the clash of cultures brought home to the West? The real stories for 2030 will be the murder of the Western Cultural Tradition by traitorous Elites, the end of the Age of Enlightenment, the permanent rise of Islam tempered by Marxism, the return of the Patriarchy, and the abrogation of the Treaty of Westphalia. The only thing which can either stop this from happening, or slow its advent, is a brutal, devastating war of all against all. It is ironic that the Liberal/Progressives who are bringing all of this about are paving the road to everything that they are avowedly against. But the lust of a few for overarching power never has to be rational, as power is an end in itself! Steve you just described one part of the UN Agenda 21 Plan!! The only thing you said that doesnt make sence is the very first line all smoke and mirrors than you state your opinion which is the PLAN wellone part of the PLAN (NWO/AGENDA 21/2030 Agenda). READ up buddy to see the rest on a everyday basis you and all of us live thats part of the plan thats been hear for 40 to 60 years now. From 6.23 Billion to 500 million means 12 out of every 13 must die. We are the power to get them all down easily actually remove your money from bank leave account empty! Easily! People often say we cant do anything about it no, we can as simply as mass empty accounts from banks and will see how fast those giants going down down down! Theyve already sold it to 30%(+/-) of the US population. More like 43% to 53% of Americans are gullible and have NO Clue. They VOTE Democrat and have NO clue that the word Progressive came from the Communist and Means Communist. If anyone still needs proof, just look at universities. Students brainwashed to far left socialism by Profs who are a part of the agenda. Marxism was brought to Columbia U in the 1930s. Marxism was somewhat quiet during and after WWII but has been rearing its ugly head in recent years. Recent generations of graduates have been sold on Marxism and continue to do so. Hence, the rise, once again, of Progressivism, not so much a political party as a Marxist movement. Students dont realize theyve been indoctrinated by academia. Its no wonder there are so many protests, riots attached to universities. Extreme sexuality is one of the social definitions of Marxism. Its all there if one pays attention and makes the connections. Its in pretty much every community right now. UN Agenda 21 has been around for some time now and IS in EVERY City, Town, School, Local government, State government, laws. policies, etc. Geo. H. W. Bush(dad) would talk all the time about NWO-NEW WORLD ORDER. Thats when some people got suspious of what was he talking about. He actually PRAISED it. So people did research and found out it was the BLUEPRINT to the DESTRUCTION of AMERICA. Thats when the UN and OUR Govt changes the the name NWO to UN AGENDA 21 PLAN, now its updated to a more speedy deal (2030 Agenda) but do realize almost all of it has ALREADY been accomplished over the last 40 years plus. Took off in the 60s, Woodstock and ALL that Dope was PLANNED to Destroy the minds of the future generation and now we have the Bushs, Clintons, etc. GOOGLE: Tom DeWeese Agenda 21 . Read all you can and watch his Youtube videos too. Hes been trying to inform people for almost 30 years now!!! The Communist Party, USA is VERY invovled in this. They came to America in 1917 and have been working and growing and are BEHIND this. Google that to and see for yourself. When I read this by the sites I suggested and being at the age 62, I see all of it happeing thru my whole life. So this is nothing new. We are actually near the Ending. Marxism form of communism brought to Columbia U in the 1930s has gradually infiltrated most universities in the country and is being force fed to students. But, the students dont know it. Academia is a perfect spawning ground for the agenda. 70% of profs are far left socialist. No doubt, Bernie Sanders is a prime example. Its all escalating at a raging pace. Codex Alimentaris means the end of functional and preventive medicine, alternative therapies, the culling of vitamins from our shelves, the relabelling of vitamins as drugs. You wont even be able to buy Vitamin C without a prescription and it will cost triple what it costs today. Interesting you say that. After reading a lot about Agenda2030 and NWO, it occurred to me all those high rises (in Toronto) are probably part of the plan. I am starting to recognize bits and pieces of the plan as they take place. I realize this article is pretty old. But it seems to me that every translation you made for the goals seem to have going on for a long time already. So im not sure your translations are accurate because it would mean nothing would change. Why make an agenda to be accomplished by 2030 when everything thing you stated has already been happening for a while now? Im thinking you might be the one in need of counseling, or at least enlightenment. The communists are already in the majority in this country. Theyre called democrats. Most are not even aware of what they are supporting, just as most, and I mean over 95% of Freemasons, have no clue what they are a part of. Yes, urge people to just go on living. Meanwhile, our children and grandchildren are systematically being robbed of any modicum of freedom and liberty. Its people like you that need to wake up. You would have us sit back and say, Oh, well, nothing I can do. I must assume you have no offspring. If you do, you dont seem to care much about what a shithole of a world they have inherited. content, yall. park the insults, please. I am so glad that GOD is still on the THRONE!!! This is why they elite wanted KILLARY on The Throne in the White House!!! Codex Alimentarius. Oh good. Glad this was the translation, cuz I had to look this one up! 
3	Open Letter to US Law EnforcementJoe Giambrone This is not an academic question, but goes to the heart of who is in charge and if they themselves are on the right side of the law. With numerous whistleblowers from the National Security Agency coming forth, as well as from the Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, all of them exposing crimes committed by those in charge, you should pay special attention to what these individuals are saying about current so-called leaders. How many law enforcement officers would accept this excuse today? How many have already accepted it as a fact of the current United States system of justice? The 4th Amendment of the US Constitution, in the Bill of Rights, is explicitly clear that a warrant is necessary to invade the personal effects of civilians. We are all mandated by the highest law in the land to be secure in our persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures. Government officials swear an oath of office to defend this Constitution, as you yourself have also probably done. To knowingly, flagrantly and systematically violate this oath in secret no less is a grievous crime against the United States. To do it with impunity and protection from prosecution, however, is something else entirely. A government that does not respect the laws that it publicly swears to defend is a fraud and a tyranny. To casually throw away the 4th Amendment, a bedrock freedom, the cornerstone of a free and open society, is not only unacceptable, it is Treason; the waging of a war against the People of the United States. By what right can Constitutionally guaranteed rights be deleted? These protections have served us for more than two centuries, and yet in the age of technology they are to be dismissed without debate, by secret decree? By memos that are classified Top Secret because they directly violate the Supreme Law of the Land? Armies of police are to enforce these secret decrees as law and to assist the surveillance state without question? Are we a nation of sovereign citizens or of human drones who execute instructions? A Supreme Court decision already decided that the Constitution cannot be suspended no matter how inconvenient it may be perceived by those in power. In Ex parte Milligan (1866), the Court wrote: The Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and people, equally in war and in peace, and covers with the shield of its protection all classes of men, at all times and under all circumstances. No doctrine involving more pernicious consequences was ever invented by the wit of man than that any of its provisions can be suspended during any of the great exigencies of government. By testing this new suspension of the Constitution in the wake of the latest terrorism event in Boston, a cynical calculated play was made to convince people that the government somehow possessed the right to do so, when clearly no such right exists. This outright subversion of Constitutional protections was tested that day to see if it could set a precedent and be sold to the public on the basis of allegedly protecting them. This ploy used public perception as a means to subvert the law and to overturn the established restrictions on the governments exercise of force here domestically against its own citizens in their homes! This July 4th, 2013, its time to wake up and smell the clear felonies coming out of Washington DC. Crimes of this scale and sweeping nature threaten to turn America into George Orwells Big Brother police state. And law enforcement officers are not immune to the surveillance. Their privacy is no more protected than mine. Nor is the privacy of a Congressman or a Supreme Court Judge or even the head of the CIA, David Petraeus. A high-level NSA whistleblower, a satellite analyst named Russell Tice, revealed: [NSA] went after lawyers and law firms They went after judges. One of the judges is now sitting on the Supreme Court that I had his wiretap information in my hand They went after State Department officials. They went after people in the executive service that were part of the White House their own people. We are now a society wide open to blackmail. We are without privacy, and can be hacked at the will of secret, often private contractors, such as Edward Snowdens recent employer. Mr. Snowden, remember, wasnt working for the US government in an official capacity, but at the time was employed by a private corporation: Booz Allen Hamilton. Right now thousands of privately-paid computer analysts can wiretap anyone at their own discretion. Edward Snowden said: Any analyst at any time can target anyone. I sitting at my desk certainly had the authorities to wiretap anyone, from YOU or your accountant to a federal judge to even the president if I had a personal email. That means you, the reader, are also vulnerable. Your life is an open book, and should you in the future need to be coerced and blackmailed into silence or into acting in a particular manner, that can easily be arranged. Information from your digital presence and history across telephone, web, credit card and any other channel is now stored indefinitely by this emerging, unconstitutional surveillance state. That is not freedom. That is not Constitutional governance. That is not the America I was taught about in school, as were you. That is why the flag flies upside down here today. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	More Than 101 Million Working Age Americans Do Not Have A JobMichael Snyder But even though the employment level in the United States has consistently remained very low over the past three years, the Obama administration keeps telling us that unemployment is actually going down. In fact, they tell us that the unemployment rate has declined from a peak of 10.0% all the way down to 7.6%. And they tell us that in March the unemployment rate fell by 0.1% even though only 88,000 jobs were added to the U.S. economy. But it takes at least 125,000 new jobs a month just to keep up with population growth. So how in the world are they coming up with these numbers? Well, the reality is that the entire decline in the unemployment rate over the past three years can be accounted for by the reduction in size of the labor force. In other words, the Obama administration is getting unemployment to go down by pretending that millions upon millions of unemployed Americans simply do not want jobs anymore. We saw this once again in March. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 600,000 Americans dropped out of the labor market during that month alone. That pushed the labor force participation rate down to 63.3%, which is the lowest it has been in more than 30 years. So please dont believe the hype. The sad truth is that there has been no jobs recovery whatsoever. If things were getting better, there would not be more than 101 million working age Americans without a job. So exactly where does that statistic come from? Well, the following explains where I got that number According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are 11,742,000 working age Americans that are officially unemployed. When you add 11,742,000 working age Americans that are officially unemployed to the 89,967,000 working age Americans that are not in the labor force, you come up with a grand total of 101,709,000 working age Americans that do not have a job. When you stop and think about it, that is an absolutely staggering statistic. And anyone that tells you that a higher percentage of Americans are working today is telling you a complete and total lie. During the last recession the percentage of working age Americans with a job fell dramatically, and since then we have not seen that number bounce back at all. In fact, this is the very first time in the post-World War II era that we have not seen the employment-population ratio bounce back after a recession. At this point, the employment-population ratio has been under 60 percent for 49 months in a row March 2008: 62.7 percent We should be thankful that the percentage of working age Americans with a job did not continue to decline, but we should also be quite alarmed that it has not bounced back at all. If there was going to be a recovery, there would have been one by now. The next major economic downturn is rapidly approaching, and that is going to push the employment-population ratio down even farther. So why is the U.S. economy not producing as many jobs as it used to? Well, certainly the overall decline of the economy has a lot to do with it. We are a nation that is drowning in debt and that is getting poorer by the day. But since the end of the last recession, corporate profits have bounced back in a big way and are now at an all-time high. So you would figure that the big corporations should be able to hire a lot more workers by now. Unfortunately, that is not the way things work anymore. Big corporations are trying to minimize the number of expensive American workers that they have on their payrolls as much as possible these days. One way that they are doing this is through the use of technology. Thanks to robots, computers and other forms of technology, big corporations simply do not need as many human workers as they used to. In future years, this trend is only going to accelerate. I wrote about how this is changing the world of employment in one of my previous articles entitled Rise Of The Droids: Will Robots Eventually Steal All Of Our Jobs? Another way that big corporations are replacing expensive American workers is by shipping their jobs off to the other side of the globe. Big corporations know that they can make bigger profits by making stuff in foreign countries where they can pay workers less than a dollar an hour with no benefits. How in the world are American workers supposed to compete with that? For much more on how U.S. jobs are being killed by offshoring, please see this article: 55 Reasons Why You Should Buy Products That Are Made In America. And of course immigration is having a dramatic impact on the labor market in some areas of the country as well. Cheap labor has dramatically driven down wages in a lot of professions. For example, once upon a time you could live a very nice middle class lifestyle as a roofer. But now many roofers really struggle to make a living. When you add everything up, it paints a very bleak picture for the future of the American worker. Meanwhile, the government continues to make things even easier for those that are not working. This has caused some Americans to give up completely and to be content with letting the government take care of them. The following is from a recent article by Monty Pelerin As we make it easier to get unemployment benefits for longer time periods, more people take advantage of the system. So too with food stamps and disability. All programs are at or near record levels in what is supposed to be four years into an economic recovery. For many, the benefits of becoming a government dependent exceed what they can earn. One study reported that a family of four, collecting all the benefits for which they were entitled, would have to earn $65,000 per annum to have the same after-tax purchasing power. If you are a product of the government schools and are legal to work (i.e., have skills enough that you are affordable at the minimum wage or higher), at what point do you realize that there is no need to go through the hassle of actual work. You can live pretty well by staying home and taking advantage of the entitlements available to you. That is exactly what a larger and larger percentage of the population are realizing. In many cases, it is economically irrational to work. This behavior creates a social pathology that only worsens over time. Kids learn from their parents that work is not necessary and the many ways to game the system. In this regard, look for this problem to become worse over time unless these programs are cut back. In some areas of the country, it actually pays not to work very hard. According to Gary Alexander, the Secretary of Public Welfare for the state of Pennsylvania, a single mom is better off earnings gross income of $29,000 with $57,327 in net income benefits than to earn gross income of $69,000 with net income and benefits of $57,045. But the truth is that most Americans still want to work hard and would gladly take a good job if they could just find one. The following is one example that was featured in a recent Fox News article After a full year of fruitless job hunting, Natasha Baebler just gave up. Shed already abandoned hope of getting work in her field, working with the disabled. But she couldnt land anything else, either not even a job interview at a telephone call center. Until she feels confident enough to send out resumes again, shell get by on food stamps and disability checks from Social Security and live with her parents in St. Louis. Im not proud of it, says Baebler, who is in her mid-30s and is blind. The only way Im able to sustain any semblance of self-preservation is to rely on government programs that I have no desire to be on. And that is how most Americans feel. Most Americans do not want to be dependent on the government. Most Americans want to work hard and take care of themselves. Unfortunately, our economy is not producing nearly enough jobs for everyone and it never will again. So there will continue to be millions upon millions of Americans that find that they cannot take care of themselves and their families without government assistance no matter how hard they try. And this is just the beginning things are going to get much worse during the next major wave of the economic collapse. That is why it is important to try to become less dependent on your own job. In this economic environment, a job can disappear at literally any moment. Anything that you can do to become less dependent on the system would be a good thing.

1	A study released Monday by the U.S. Department of Education revealed that, contrary to the longtime claims of librarians and teachers, books do not take you anywhere. A sampling of the Department of Education study's findings. 'For years, countless educators have asserted that books give readers a chance to journey to exotic, far-off lands and meet strange, exciting new people,' Education Secretary Richard Riley told reporters. 'We have found this is simply not the case.' According to the study, those who read are not transported to any place beyond the area in which the reading occurs, and even these movements are always the result of voluntary decisions made by the reader and not in any way related to the actual reading process. Phoenix-area 11-year-old Jennifer Gleason, who did not move in more than two hours of reading <I>The Wizard Of Oz</I>. 'People engaged in reading tend to be motionless,' Riley said. 'Not moving tends to make it easier to read.' In various field experiments, the study found that young readers are particularly susceptible to the reading-travel myth. One test subject, 11-year-old Justin Fisher of Ypsilanti, MI, began reading a fantasy novel by C.S. Lewis under close observation. After 40 minutes, the only trip Fisher took was to the bathroom, a journey he himself initiated because he 'had to go.' Further, at no point did Fisher's voyage to the bathroom involve evil witches, messianic lions or closet portals to other universes. 'I just stayed in my chair without moving that much,' Fisher said. 'I think I scratched my head a couple of times.' Another case documented in the study was that of San Diego 13-year-old Liz Kent, who read Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Over the course of more than three hours reading the pirate-adventure tale, at no point did she make a new friend or travel to a distant land. The study did note one exception to the findings, citing situations in which people read on buses, cars, trains or planes. Even in these cases, however, the reading-travel link is tenuous at best. 'Many people enjoy reading while traveling,' Riley said. 'But it is important to note that the traveling always results in the reading, and never the reverse.' As a result of the study, it is expected that many young people will call into question what Riley termed 'the empty promises of library posters and other pieces of pro-reading propaganda.' 'I hate it when you get excited about a place and then you don't go there,' 10-year-old Ashley Brandes of Atlanta said. 'Reading sucks.' 
2	Obama Goes After Federal Agents Daughter After She Exposed Him For THIS [VIDEO] According to recent reports, Taylor Johnson of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) just blew thw whistle on intentionally lenient law enforcement during an immigration program. Johnson recently told the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs that she noticed irregularities in the program. In reality, she was uncovering EB-5, a program designed to grant green cards to foreigners who invest $500,000 or more in US companies. Of course, Johnson faced punishments for her observations. Some of the violations investigated surrounding the project included bank and wire fraud, and I discovered ties to organized crime and high-ranking politicians and they received promotions that appeared to facilitate the program, Johnson revealed. I had discovered EB-5applications from China, Russia, Pakistan, and Malaysia had been approved in as little as 16 daysI found over 800 operational EB-5 regional centers throughout the US. After bringing these details to attention, Johnson was quickly denied access to her case files, and she was told she had lost her job due to criminal activity. What do you think of Johnsons story? Is the Obama administration made up of criminals?

1	While attempting to prepare the vice president for tomorrow nights debate against Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), Joe Bidens staff members reportedly suggested he forget the words pink and stink altogether before taking the stage. You know what, given the context of this particular debate and everything, I think maybe its best to avoid using the words pink or stink at all, and certainly never in the same sentence, longtime Biden adviser Mike Donilon was overheard telling the 69-year-old politician during debate preparations this week, also reminding him to avoid any mention of muffs, tang, cooze and to definitely not do the shocker hand gesture while walking to the podium. This is a very important night for us, Joe, and if you could try to stay on message as much as possible that would be, you know, ideal. Also, dont do that thing where you smell your finger. At press time, sources said Biden had assured Donilon he would do his best, but couldnt guarantee he wouldnt pop wood at some point during the debate. 
1	In a special ceremony Thursday before his final game in New York, the Yankees officially unveiled an exquisite cage for Derek Jeter in Monument Park as a tribute to the teams beloved longtime shortstop. Derek was such a pivotal part of our ball clubs recent success, and this wonderful, permanent display is a fantastic way to honor his career and legacy, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said of the new exhibit, which features a mounted bronze plaque listing Jeters career highlights and accolades directly below the locked 5-by-7-foot stainless steel enclosure where the future Hall of Famer will be confined 24 hours a day. Even if they never saw him play in person, Yankees fans from around the world now will have the chance to visit Monument Park and truly appreciate one of the greatest-ever players to wear the pinstripes. Alongside monuments to fellow legends like Ruth, Mantle, and DiMaggio, Dereks honorary cage is right where it belongs. Girardi went on to confirm that the Jeter cage will be open to the public before every home game, and that visitors are more than welcome to take pictures in front of the exhibit. 
2	BLM In Milwaukee To Cops, We Want BLOOD! [VIDEO] If you dont think the Black Lives Matter movement is dangerous, think again. Time and time again weve seen violent protesters calling for the re-segregation of America. Now, a seventeen minute video has surfaced, showing the beginning of the Milwaukee riots as rioters began threatening police officers who were only attempting to keep the peace. The video begins with the Black Lives Matter crowd angrily confronting officers about the death of Sylville Smitha blank man with a history of violence and criminal activity, who was shot and killed in a confrontation with law enforcement. Milwaukees Mayor, Tom Barrett, reports that Smith had stolen a gun, which held 23 rounds in it. As if that werent enough to quell claims of racial bias, it turns out the cop who shot him was black. Many of the cops being threatened in this video are female and minorities. We do not want justice of peace anymore, a rioter can be heard yelling in the footage. We do not want justice or peace anymore. We done with that shit. We want blood. We want blood. We want the same shit yall want. Eye for an eye. No more peace. Fk all that. Aint no more peace. Aint no more peace. We done. We cannot cohabitate with white people, one of us have to go, black or white. All yall have to go! Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
3	In The Internet Age, Do We Need Representative Government? Is Congress Out of Date?Brandon Pierce How many of us think about what that word really means? Your representatives, both in the House of Representatives (aptly and uncreatively named) and the Senate, are supposed to stand in your stead. Basically, they are supposed to speak in the system of government on your behalf. Through the voting system we have, you and other constituents decide who your representative will be. From there, the concept is that said representative will make decisions that mirror the will of the people who they are representing. Of course, fears of losing their job supposedly drive them to stay in line with the will of those that put them in office. When the United States became a nation in 1776, this system of government was the fairest and most efficient that anyone could hope for. After all, not everyone could convene at the Capitol and vote for themselves. To make the system work, representation was the only way. In 2013, does this still hold true? Do we still need representation when the technology easily exists to represent ourselves effectively? The Internet provides everything our society needs to allow every issue out there to be voted on in a national referendum. It would cost essentially nothing to do so. Think about how commonplace it is to have an email address. Its that easy. Why in this day and age can we the people not simply speak for ourselves? That list could have been much longer, but you have to stop somewhere. In any case, you get the point. There are plenty of reasons people give why a true government for the people and by the people would not work, but it you take a closer look at the facts and their real intentions, you will find that most of these supposedly damning obstacles simply dont hold water. Now, for the list of real reasons why this could never happen in our society. Are you ready? Its not nearly as long as the list above. Well, thats about all then. So, in closing, what am I trying to say here? Put simply, sometimes it is what it is. The government we have doesnt have to exist for any practical reason. This technological age has brought inventions that could allow us to actually function as a self-governing society in a truly new concept that would change the world forever. There has never been a society like that, and it would really be the moment at which the human experience went to a transcendent new level. However, the existing government has every reason to want to make sure that such realities never exist. A lot of atheists out there frequently say that religion is holding the human race back. That, until we get over this hurdle, not much more can be achieved. Whether you agree with that stance or not, the same could be said about the current system of government. It is outdated and no longer efficient. It is also here to stay.

1	George W. Bush pulled ahead of Al Gore in presidential polls Monday following a near-perfect score of 9.95 on the pommel horse. 'Bush was in total command, showing textbook technique on his scissor elements and nailing his dismount,' ABC News/Washington Post poll spokesman Andrew Hollandsworth said. 'He looked confident and strong up there, and the American people are responding.' The impressive effort helped Bush regain ground lost in Gore's decisive Sept. 10 victory in the ribbon-dance event. 
2	Russia Sends Worlds Largest Submarine To Syria With Nukes To Kill ISIS ISIS made a dangerously bold move when they decided to execute five Russian nationals. The terrorist organization reportedly believed the group was spying within ISIS territory. That marks the sixth Russian to be beheaded by the extremist organization. The victim is unlikely to have had any relation to our special services, a Russian security source told reporters. A report confirmed that there are currently 2,400 Russians fighting for ISIS, which has some authorities wondering if ISIS decided to behead some of their own for propaganda. But the actions were not taken lightly. Russia has just sent the worlds largest submarine, the Dmitri Donskoy (TK-208), NATO-coded Typhoon, into the Mediterranean destined for the Syrian coast. The sub is reportedly equipped with 20 Bulava intercontinental ballistic missiles, and an estimated 200 nuclear warheads. That doesnt sound good for ISIS. What do you think? Do you support Russia taking action? 
3	Thirteen Ways Government Tracks UsBill Quigley Here are thirteen examples of how some of the biggest government agencies and programs track people. One. The National Security Agency (NSA) collects hundreds of millions of emails, texts and phone calls every day and has the ability to collect and sift through billions more. WIRED just reported NSA is building an immense new data center which will intercept, analyze and store even more electronic communications from satellites and cables across the nation and the world. Though NSA is not supposed to focus on US citizens, it does. (Source) Two. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) National Security Branch Analysis Center (NSAC) has more than 1.5 billion government and private sector records about US citizens collected from commercial databases, government information, and criminal probes. (Source) Three. The American Civil Liberties Union and the New York Times recently reported that cellphones of private individuals in the US are being tracked without warrants by state and local law enforcement all across the country. With more than 300 million cellphones in the US connected to more than 200,000 cell phone towers, cellphone tracking software can pinpoint the location of a phone and document the places the cellphone user visits over the course of a day, week, month or longer. (Source) Four. More than 62 million people in the US have their fingerprints on file with the FBI, state and local governments. This system, called the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS), shares information with 43 states and 5 federal agencies. This system conducts more than 168,000 checks each day. (Source) Five. Over 126 million people have their fingerprints, photographs and biographical information accessible on the US Department of Homeland Security Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT). This system conducts about 250,000 biometric transactions each day. The goal of this system is to provide information for national security, law enforcement, immigration, intelligence and other Homeland Security Functions. (Source) Six. More than 110 million people have their visas and more than 90 million have their photographs entered into the US Department of State Consular Consolidated Database (CCD). This system grows by adding about 35,000 people a day. This system serves as a gateway to the Department of State Facial Recognition system, IDENT and IAFSIS. (Source) Seven. DNA profiles on more than 10 million people are available in the FBI coordinated Combined DNA index System (CODIS) National DNA Index. (Source) Eight. Information on more than 2 million people is kept in the Intelligence Community Security Clearance Repository, commonly known as Scattered Castles. Most of the people in this database are employees of the Department of Defense (DOD) and other intelligence agencies. (Source) Nine. The DOD also has an automated biometric identification system (ABIS) to support military operations overseas. This database incorporates fingerprint, palm print, face and iris matching on 6 million people and is adding 20,000 more people each day. (Source) Ten. Information on over 740,000 people is included in the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment (TIDE) of the National Counterterrorism Center. TIDE is the US government central repository of information on international terrorist identities. The government says that less than 2 percent of the people on file are US citizens or legal permanent residents. They were just given permission to keep their non-terrorism information on US citizens for a period of five years, up from 180 days. (Source) Eleven. Tens of thousands of people are subjects of facial recognition software. The FBI has been working with North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles and other state and local law enforcement on facial recognition software in a project called Face Mask. For example, the FBI has provided thousands of photos and names to the North Carolina DMV which runs those against their photos of North Carolina drivers. The Maricopa Arizona County Sheriffs Office alone records 9,000 biometric mug shots a month. (Source) Twelve. The FBI operates the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative (SAR) that collects and analyzes observations or reports of suspicious activities by local law enforcement. With over 160,000 suspicious activity files, SAR stores the profiles of tens of thousands of Americans and legal residents who are not accused of any crime but who are alleged to have acted suspiciously. (Source) Thirteen. The FBI admits it has about 3,000 GPS tracking devices on cars of unsuspecting people in the US right now, even after the US Supreme Court decision authorizing these only after a warrant for probable cause has been issued. (Source) The Future The technology for tracking and identifying people is exploding as is the government appetite for it. Soon, police everywhere will be equipped with handheld devices to collect fingerprint, face, iris and even DNA information on the spot and have it instantly sent to national databases for comparison and storage. Bloomberg News reports the newest surveillance products can also secretly activate laptop webcams or microphones on mobile devices, change the contents of written emails mid-transmission, and use voice recognition to scan phone networks. (Source) The advanced technology of the war on terrorism, combined with deferential courts and legislators, have endangered both the right to privacy and the right of people to be free from government snooping and tracking. Only the people can stop this. Bill is a human rights lawyer and law professor at Loyola University New Orleans. He also serves as Associate Legal Director of the Center for Constitutional Rights.

2	Fox News Guilfoyle SLAMS San Jose Mayor For Allowing Trump Supporters To Be Attacked [VIDEO] According to reports, Fox News contributor Kimberly Guilfoyle excoriated Democrat San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo after he blamed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump for the violent attacks against Trumps supporters. Liccardo, who is a Clinton supporter, claims that Trump needed to take responsibility for the behavior in his campaign. Protests in San Jose quickly got out of control, with anti-Trump protesters pelting supporters with eggs, bottles, food and water balloons. One woman was even hit with a watermelon. Other protesters even took to burning the American flag. This guy should be thrown out, Guilfoyle said of Liccardo, blaming him for the event instead. Though Laccardo goes above and beyond to paint a portrait of Trump supporters of being violent and aggressive, that is clearly not how the events unfolded. Its time for liberals to stop pointing the finger at Conservatives for the damage that they are causing. 
1	Late-breaking reports from several major broadcasting outlets confirmed moments ago that recently cut quarterback Tim Tebow is currently drawing a significant amount of interest from American media. There has certainly been a lot of chatter on Tim Tebow, linking him to several high-profile news stories, an anonymous source told reporters, adding that Tebow was presently attracting attention from ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, and ESPN as well as print media, radio, and the internet. Obviously the frenzy of moves made by the media clearly shows that Tebow is a very intriguing prospect who has so much potential to truly shine in headlines, articles, or even as the topic of a short broadcast segment. Despite the overwhelming enthusiasm from the media, NFL fans have reportedly expressed zero interest in Tim Tebow. 
1	Claiming with certainty that government agents were behind the unexplained deaths of several thousand redwing blackbirds in Arkansas this month, a mallard duck voiced suspicions Tuesday that the CIA has conducted a decades-long covert operation to decimate the nation's bird population. The duck spoke on condition of anonymity, telling reporters he or members of his flock could face reprisal for exposing the truth about what he called a 'secret war' against avian wildlife. 'Five thousand birds drop dead out of the sky, and no one has any explanation whatsoever,' said the duck, nervously waddling back and forth. 'The mainstream media tells us it's an isolated event caused by atmospheric conditions or fireworks, but that doesn't add up. How could it, when there are powerful interests with high-level connections you and I can't even imagine issuing direct orders to murder birds?' The duck asserted that the recent incident was only the latest in a series of similar CIA experiments, but was particularly damning because numerous eyewitnesses spotted mysterious military jets flying overhead minutes before the birds suddenly plummeted to the earth. He also cited unconfirmed reports that officials in hazmat suits arrived at the scene within the hour to examine the corpses. According to the mallard, the CIA has spent 'at least 50 years' secretly testing lethal devices on birds, including an ultra-low- frequency electromagnetic weapon capable of instantly eliminating entire flocks of geese, crows, or pigeons, silently and without detection. 'These guys are using radiological and microwave equipment to monitor our skies, and meanwhile you got the scientists deliberately infecting orioles with all these fatal diseases,' the duck told reporters before bobbing his head underwater, resurfacing, and shaking his feathers out. 'We're talking about a massive conspiracy to intimidate and control every last bird in the country.' 'Just follow the money and you'll see it's all about controlling water access,' he continued. 'The elites have a plan, and our nesting grounds are in the way. It's as simple as that.' The mallard explained that he first became alarmed when he read several Audubon analyses revealing that egg populations of both common and rare birds in the United States had significantly declined between 1989 and 2010, but that he grew deeply disturbed when he found that Interior Department data didn't match upa 'dead giveaway' of a cover-up. Though he was able to access government records through the Freedom of Information Act, the duck said further attempts to investigate were derailed when federal officials did not respond to his attempts to contact them. The duck also reportedly tried to speak with fish and game wardens, but was chased away every time. 'I've got to be careful what I say, of coursethis whole pond could be bugged,' said the duck, using his bill to frantically smooth back his downy coat. 'But here's something you can print: Dr. Lee Randall. Top-rate ornithologist. Has a few theories not very popular with the establishment. Forty years old, he's in good shape, and we're supposed to believe he dropped dead of a heart attack while playing racquetball? I guess these people think ducks will just swallow anything they throw at us.' When asked about the mallard's theory, CIA director Leon Panetta said he doesn't take the utterly implausible arguments of one obviously unstable, talking duck seriously. 
2	Muslims Around The World Pissed After Finding THIS In Cadbury Chocolate Cadbury Chocolate is facing some potentially serious (and yet, ridiculous) repercussions from the Muslim community, after they found out that pig DNA was in the chocolate. As we all know, Muslims are not allowed to eat pork. They refuse to come into contact with it, as it violates their strong religious beliefs. And while that may be their own choice, what they are now demanding is absolutely absurd. According to reports, a group of Muslims are now demanding that Cadbury pay for their blood transfusions. Sounds logical, right? Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

2	Clint Eastwood Breaks His Silence, Makes HUGE Announcement About Donald Trump [VIDEO] 2016 Presidential hopeful and legendary businessman Donald Trump has been the source of major controversy following his campaign announcement, during which he called many Mexican immigrants criminals and rapists. Since the comments were made, Trump has experienced the loss of several business relationships, included that with Univision, NBC, and Macys. Now, many people and organizations are fearful of associating with the successful entrepreneur and have avoided doing so. Fortunately, Clint Eastwood has not followed suit, and Trump will be speaking at an event of his this weekend. I will be in California this weekend making a speech for Clint Eastwood, Trump tweeted. Then to Arizona and Vegas. Big crowds. Discussing illegals and more! What do you think of Eastwood continuing to support Trump? 
2	Michelle Obama Accidentally Admits Her Husband Was Born In Kenya Some shocking new footage has come to the surface, in which Michelle Obama inadvertently alludes to the fact the President Obama was actually born in Kenya. When speaking about her husband, Michelle claims, When we took our trip to Africa and visited his home country in Kenya, we took a public HIV test for the very point of showing folks in Kenya that there is nothing to be embarrassed about in getting tested. His home country, huh? Well that certainly clears things up. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	After spending another anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks at work, many across the country have begun to secretly hope that the date will soon become a federally mandated day off. 'We'll have it off in 25 years anyway, so why not just start now?' said a Des Moinesarea citizen who wished to remain anonymous. 'The people who tragically lost their lives on 9/11 deserve a day of remembrance. Also, I could really use some extra time to clean out my gutters.' A small minority of Americans continue to hold out hope that the anniversary of the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, in which 17 American sailors died, will someday result in a national half-day off. 
1	Stressing that soccers international governing body will continue to conduct business as usual in the face of high-profile fraud charges, FIFA officials assured the public Friday that the ongoing U.S. Department of Justice investigation will in no way affect the 2022 Qatar slush fund. While our organization takes these allegations very seriously, we can guarantee with total confidence that the charges will not hinder or restrict the 2022 slush fund in Qatar, said FIFA president Sepp Blatter, adding that the unreported personal expenditures and under-the-table government kickbacks will take place at multiple venues throughout the Middle Eastern country as scheduled. Regardless of this ongoing probe, our officials are committed to accepting bribes in exchange for FIFA media and marketing rights, redirecting construction funds to personal expense accounts, and offering lavish gifts to Qatari political ministers in order to sidestep government regulations exactly as originally planned. These accusations of wrongdoing will not be a distraction as we prepare for what we all hope will be the greatest FIFA slush fund yet. Blatter added that the indictments will also have no effect on the 2018 slush fund in Russia, noting that the countrys framework for corruption is already firmly in place. 
2	University Introduces All Gender Showers, This Is What Happened In The Womens Bathroom In attempt to be politically correct, some liberals have started to push genderless public facilities. In case this doesnt already seem like a terrible idea, an incident in Canada illustrates exactly what can go wrong with this type of arrangement. According to reports, the University of Toronto was forced to institute unisex bathrooms, lockers rooms and showers. They quickly learned that the traditional system has a very specific purpose. The University quickly changed back its policy after two separate incidents of voyeurism were reported on campus in September. Male students within the Universitys Whitney Hall student residence were caught holding their cell phones over female students shower stalls, violating their privacy and filming them as they showered. The dean of students, Melinda Scott, told reporters at The Daily Wire that campus police were contacted immediately and were cooperative with residence staff in supporting impacted students and ensur[ing] the safety of Residences. What do you think? Does America need to stop making safety a last priority? 
2	Muslim Blames Americans For Shariah Law And Executing Kids In America [VIDEO] Recently, a very controversial conversation took place on the The Rachel Maddow Show when she featured a guest to talk about the ISIS killing of women and Christians. One of the things that was interesting today was the president was talking about, yeah, this is a military fight but its also all these other different types of fights and its a way that America has to use our soft power abroad and we have to project our values abroad in a way thats going to help defeat this, beyond just what were doing militarily, Maddow ask her guest. Do you feel like that discussion is constructive or that is also basically over-reductive and it isnt taking account of how weve been acting. A lot of Muslims have come to the United States to get away from regimes where they feel like their freedom of speech is infringed on, where some people dont have freedom of religion, the Muslim guest responded. We come to the US, 22 states with anti-Shariah bills trying to ban us from practicing our faith, mosque oppositions, were fighting, you know, zoning boards across the country. Our kids are hearing this rhetoric, we have people, mosques being vandalized, kids being executed, Islamophobia, leaders on national television saying that, you know, holy wars and these people want to take over America. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	According to sources at Milford Mill High School's 30-year reunion, alumnus Ira Glass spent most of Saturday's event laboring to explain his public radio program, This American Life, to former classmates. 'I'm still not completely sure, but I think he has some sort of call-in show,' said Glass' sophomore biology lab partner Shannon Fortin, who reported that Glass just sighed when asked if he could say Fortin's name on the air during his next broadcast. 'Sounds like he almost caught a break with some TV show, but I guess they canceled it. Poor guy.' After Glass left the reunion early, a number of sympathetic attendees took up a collection for their old acquaintance, as Glass had mentioned that he relied almost entirely on donations. 
3	Sign of the Times: Riot Control Gear Sales Are Soaring GloballyBy Joshua Krause And all over the world, people are becoming sick and tired of the status quo. In nearly every single country, people are losing their faith in major institutions and, in increasing numbers, they are losing their trust in the financial and political elitists who run those institutions. Obviously, this state of affairs cant continue indefinitely. There is a flashpoint somewhere down the road, when the people of the world reach their breaking point, and the elitists who run their societies will do everything they can to hold onto their power. Its going to be ugly, and its going to be global in scope. The governments of the world clearly know whats coming. Thats why theyre stocking up on riot gear at an unprecedented rate. We know this because globally, sales of riot gear are rapidly growing. Over the next five years, the market forcrowd control tools is expected toboom, from $9.05 billion in2016 tosome $11.78 billion by2021, ata rate of5.4%, according toRNR Market Research. Of the weaponry available onthe market, directed energy weapons (a subset ofoffensive weapons) is projected togrow atthe highest rate, including what are termed active denial systems (ADS) or pain rays. And thats not all. Wealthy Americans from Chicago to the Silicon Valley are buying rural compounds that they can escape to if civil unrest occurs. Companies that produce luxury bomb shelters are seeing widespread interest, and the wealthy who are still living in major cities are building panic rooms in their luxury apartments. Clearly, the people who are in the know are getting ready for something big. The elitists who run the governments of the world are hunkering down. Theyre preparing their police forces to deal with widespread civil unrest, and they preparing to protect themselves as well. The only question that remains is, are you ready?

3	NY Couple Loses $25k Because Their Bank Doesnt Keep RecordsBy Joshua Krause And if you ever needed another reason to be cautious about putting all of your savings into a bank, you should listen to what happened to Anna and Salvatore Russo. The couple opened a savings account with Chase Bank in 2002, and deposited $30,000, which was reduced to $25,000 after they made a withdrawal shortly thereafter. But with the exception of that withdrawal, they hadnt touched their bank account for years, in the hopes that they would collect interest on the money. But when they decided to withdraw that money in 2014, it was gone. Anna Russo told CBS how she reacted when the bank told her that they had no record of her account. I said, theres got to be somebody in that bank that knows about my money, but nobody knows. They cant explain it, and they feel that they dont have any no obligation, even though we have a book, her husband added, referring to their own documents. Chase eventually revealed that they have a record of their first deposit but nothing else, which is why the money is gone. We dont retain records for more than seven years and the customers have not been able to provide any documentation that proves their claims. So if you leave your money in a Chase bank for more than seven years, it ceases to exist apparently. The Russos ordeal reveals another troubling aspect of the banking industry that most people arent aware of. Money that is left untouched for more than five years can be confiscated by the government. However, the bank is supposed to send you a letter before this happens, which the Russos never received. The government has no record of receiving their money either. It literally disappeared. Its often been said that when you put your money in the bank, it no longer belongs to you. Now it can be said that when you put your money in the bank, it no longer exists.

Oh dont worry Sorros got it and if it aint him it could be the Bushes,maybe the Clintons,how about Jamie Diamond.Figured it out yet these few I mentioned have stolen,murdered, swindled or out right lied and they are just a few names when there is thousands out there that have done worse. Banks are not the right place to keep your money they are all owned by the unholy nwo. Sounds like an unscrupulous bank employee did the unthinkable. One has to wonder why the Russo family didnt receive their annual 1099INT tax form from the bank. Chase is about the worst bank ever. Credit unions way to go, I have DCs and money mkt savings in both cr. unions for years, adding and taking out as needed. Folk, keep all bank records that are active. Money or capital is the most dominant aspect of civilization. And yet, it is logistically-speaking, the one thing we really dont need to get anything done. Common agreement and collective cooperation are the keys to the utopian society. Not capitalism, where greed and selfishness are the primary drivers. Think about that. Anyone that keeps more then a very basic level of cash in a bank is risking it being taken. Bank problems of the last few years (Grease Venezuela Cyprus, The USA 1933) have proven that banks are not to be trusted. Get your money out of the bank, if you dont hold it, you dont own it. 
1	A new report compiled at the Gratiot Avenue White Castle late Saturday night found that none of the eatery's patrons possessed any enthusiasm to meet new people. Data compiled between the hours of 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. in the restaurant's dining room revealed a zero percent interest in friendly chatter, group sing-alongs, exchanging bites of sandwiches, tabletop drum circles, or any other social activity. An equal percentage displayed no interest in posing for cell-phone photographs, with 11 percent hissing angrily when asked. According to the report, the only person in the building who exhibited any signs of friendliness was the shift manager, but even he wasn't interested in going back to the apartment and watching a bunch of UFC matches. 
2	Iraqi Refugee Linked To ISIS Arrested For Planting Two Bombs In Texas Texas has been among the most vocal states in their opposition to the acceptance of Syrian refugees into the country. Now, their fears about the security threats refugees would pose are coming to fruition, right in front of Obamas face. According to reports, an Iraqi refugee who came to Houston in 2009 is facing charges for trying to help ISIS. His goal was to set off bombs in two Houston malls. He was already in the process of learning how to make electronic transmitters to detonate these devices when he was taken into custody. Last week, Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan was indicted on three charges, which include attempting to provide support to a designated terrorist organization. During his court appearance, Al Hardan pleaded not guilty to all three charges. Still, U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes denied granting Al Hardan a bond, arguing that there would be a serious risk that the refugee would flee if released from custody. Al Hardans plan was to use cell phones to detonate transmitters. A collection of these devices were found in his apartment. Security Special Agent Herman Witliff told reporters that these devices were meant to kill people. Prosecutors also allege that Al Hardan was coordinating efforts with another Iraqi refugee living in California, Aws Mohammed Younis Al-Jayab. The two men communicated through Facebook messenger from April 2013 to October 2014 and talked about getting weapons training and eventually sneaking into Syria to fight alongside the terrorist group, The Blaze reports. Of course, Governor Greg Abbott was quick to highlight the incident to underline his arguments surrounding Obamas refugee policies. He has been a leader in attempting to halt the acceptance of refugees in Texas. 
3	Obama Claims His New Reforms WillWait for ItGive Americans More Confidence in NSAMelissa Melton Considering the majority of Americans paying attention for longer than five seconds to ex-NSA contractor Edward Snowdens continual ocean of leaks already have zero-to-less-than-zero confidence in the NSAs respect for our rights at this point, all the president would have to do is say people will have more confidence and if one halfwit regains even a glimmer of hope that we arent all living in a dystopic Orwellian big brother nightmare for even a moment, the president will have fulfilled his promise. Smart plan for a fail-proof confidence booster, right? Wrong, because unfortunately, the president then went on to say, The NSA actually does a very good job about not engaging in domestic surveillance. Well thats just not really the same as saying that the NSA absolutely does not engage in domestic spying (because they do). After that, Obama went on to point out, Outside of our borders, the NSAs more aggressive. Its not constrained by laws. Oh. Gee. Good to know. Why doesnt our president just save himself (and us) the time and effort on those supposed forthcoming reforms and consider the confidence we didnt have in the NSA shattered in advance. Then again, our President has lied about basically everything almost ever from claiming the least transparent administration in American history will have the most transparent administration, to assuring people they could keep their insurance plans under Obamacare, to the existence of nonexistent shovel-ready jobs as a selling point on his $787 billion stimulus package, to blaming the Benghazi attack on a ridiculous YouTube video, to even whether or not he lived with his illegal immigrant uncle in the 1980s. How anybody can believe anything that comes out of his mouth at this point, even if its just about the weather outside, without fact checking it first is a bit mind boggling. Our lying president has lied so much, turning to him for confidence would be like asking Freddy Krueger to read you a bedtime story. Its to the point where people are now openly talking about what a big fat liar Obama knowingly is on national television like its just common, accepted knowledge. You know its bad when liberal ESPN columnist LZ Granderson recently went on CNN to actually defend Obamas giant bag of Obamacare lies, claiming the president only does it for the good of the American people, like the guy is our daddy fibbing about the existence of Santa Claus so he doesnt have to break our naive little hearts come Christmas morning. Time and time again, Americans have said we can deal with the lies that President Obama tells us because we believe in his heart, he has the best interest for the American people, Granderson said. Also good to know. Doesnt that just give you so much moreconfidence?

2	Five Important Facts You Didnt Know About THIS Flag [VIDEO] Following the tragic shooting in Charleston, the liberal media has been raising questions about the Confederate flag, and why it continues to fly in many places today. Now, several conservatives are stepping up to clarify the difference between the flags of Union and the Confederacy. When the similarity between the two flags was brought to the attention of Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard after the first Battle of Manassas, he suggested that the Confederate national flag be changed. This idea was rejected by the Confederate government. His amended recommendation was that there should be two flags: the National flag and a battle flag. Here are some things you may not know about the National Flag of the Confederacy: 1. Three national flags were tried before the final design of the National Flag was settled on. The point is, the Confederate flags original intent needs to be maintained. Neo-nazis and other extremist groups have usurped the flag and are corrupting its image. Its original purpose was to be a flag of honor, separating the confederacy from the Union. 
1	Criticizing them as an overwhelmingly negative influence on the former prison inmate, friends and family members of ex-convict Todd Chapman told reporters Wednesday they are concerned that the 34-year-old continues to hang out with the hallucinatory voices that got him in trouble in the first place. Todds trying to straighten out his life, but hes never going to get on track until he stops spending so much time with those imagined voices and letting them talk him into doing something that might violate his parole, said Chapmans sister Jessica, referring to the six or seven restless, ill-tempered auditory hallucinations with which the recently released prisoner has spent time nearly every day since his late teenage years. It seems like anytime Todd is somewhere hes not supposed to be or doing something hes not supposed to do, those voices are right there with him, egging him on. He needs to learn how to tune them out, or theyre going to get him into even more trouble than they already have. Chapmans sister added that though the voices often pressure the ex-criminal into committing various misdeeds throughout the day, their influence is most toxic when hes been drinking with them. 
3	20 Super Wealthy Individuals Have More Money Than The Poorest 152 Million Americans CombinedBy Michael Snyder To many, the core of the problem is that people like Gates and Buffett are making too much money. But I disagree. There is nothing wrong with working hard, building a company and making lots of money. The real problem is the fact that the bottom half of the country is steadily getting poorer. Once upon a time, this nation had the healthiest and most vibrant middle class in the history of the world, but now that middle class is dying. If we dont do something about this, soon we may not have much of a middle class left. When I was growing up in the 1980s, it seemed like virtually everyone was middle class. I didnt know of any family that had a father that was unemployed, everyone seemed to have a house and a couple of cars, and no kid that I went to school with could have been described as impoverished. Yes, life was definitely not perfect, but it seemed to me that pretty much everyone was able to maintain a decent standard of living. Sadly, things have dramatically changed since then. Yes, the wealthy have gotten wealthier, but at the same time the ranks of the impoverished have absolutely exploded. At this point, 20 extremely wealthy individuals have more money than the poorest 152 million Americans combined The richest 20 Americans, with a combined net worth of $732billion, are as wealthy as half of the U.S. population, according to a new study. Findings showed that the countrys 20 wealthiest people, which includes Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, now own more wealth than the bottom half of the population combined or 152 million people. The study by the Institute for Policy Studies also found that Americas wealthiest 400, with a combined net worth of $2.34 trillion, own more wealth than that of a staggering 194 million people the bottom 61 per cent of the country combined. At one time, nobody would have debated that the U.S. had the healthiest middle class on the entire planet. But now we have actually fallen behind a whole bunch of other nations. According to CNN, the United States now only ranks 19th when it comes to median wealth per adult Americans median wealth is a mere $44,900 per adult half have more, half have less. Thats only good enough for 19th place, below Japan, Canada, Australia and much of Western Europe. Americans tend to think of their middle class as being the richest in the world, but it turns out, in terms of wealth, they rank fairly low among major industrialized countries, said Edward Wolff, a New York University economics professor who studies net worth. $44,900 per adult may sound okay, but when you look deeper into the numbers things become quite disturbing. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, household wealth for the poorest 40 percent of all Americans dropped significantly between 2000 and 2011. For the bottom 20 percent, median household wealth dropped from negative 905 dollars in 2000 to negative 6,029 dollars in 2011. For the next 20 percent, median household wealth dropped from 14,309 dollars in 2000 to 7,263 dollars in 2011. In other words, the poor have been getting poorer So what is the solution? Well, the truth is that you cant have a thriving middle class without lots of middle class jobs. And unfortunately for us, our economy has been bleeding middle class jobs for a very long time. As I pointed out just recently, if the U.S. government was actually using honest numbers, the unemployment rate in this nation would be more than 22 percent. But even if you have a job, that does not mean that you are part of the middle class. As the quality of our jobs has deteriorated, the ranks of the working poor have absolutely exploded. In recent years, we have seen part-time and temp jobs become a much larger part of our economy, and as a result more Americans than ever are really struggling to make ends meet. In an article that I published near the end of October, I included brand new income numbers that were just released by the Social Security Administration. To me, these numbers are absolutely staggering If you are extremely frugal, you might be able to support a middle class family of five on $50,000 a year. But as you can see, 71 percent of all American workers make less than that. Even if you have a mother and a father that are both working, that is often not enough to make ends meet. Many Americans are working as hard as they possibly can, only to find that they still come up short at the end of the month. And with each passing year, the middle class continues to get smaller. It is almost as if we are playing a really bizarre game of economic musical chairs. With each round, more chairs get removed from the circle, and all the rest of us just hope and pray that we will get to remain part of the middle class for a little while longer. What we are doing as a nation is simply not working. We are now seeing the consequences of shipping good paying jobs out of the country for decades, and yet our leaders continue on with business as usual. Just look at what Barack Obama is doing. He is working hard to promote the Trans-Pacific Partnership. This insidious treaty will result in millions more good paying American jobs being lost overseas, but he doesnt seem to care. No matter whether it is a Democrat or a Republican in the White House, the game remains the same and the middle class continues to suffer. When will we ever learn?

Know that for the rest of the masses to wake up they need the tone of urgency to do so. Id like to add that if unmitigated wealth were true why wouldnt they be building space stations for themselves or vertical take-off flying cars to travel places globally. The latest theories postulated are that these ungodly wealthy are possibly just wealthy by digits and not actual phyiscal wealth. Meaning if they want to purchase something they have to go through the same slave banking methods everyone else does. By constricting the wealth to just a couple of waltons/suckerbergs youve basically retarded a nations ability to innovate. This is all just acknowledgement that we are living in a modern day feudal system where the denizens commute around the kingdom making modest purchases eeking out their existence with innovation trickling down in the form of a better phone or television. We could be so much more but it will take the middle class to demand these .0001% contribute back to American society or just be removed from it. Pride can destroy everything even the most important person in your life, learn to say sorry and learn to forgive. Acquire knowledge, it enables its professor to distinguish right from wrong; it lights the way to heaven. It is our friend in the desert, our company in solitude and companion when friendless. It guides us to happiness, it sustains us in misery, it is an ornament amongst friends and an armour against enemies. The best exercise for the human heart is reaching down to lift someone else up. (John 5:25) Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 
2	Welfare Recipients In This State Just Received The Worst News Of Their Life Over the past few years, weve seen a rapid increase in the number of state measures being passed in order to prevent Welfare fraud. Massachusetts was the most recent state to take action, introducing a pilot program that will use fingerprints and other biometric identifiers to verify recipients. The initiative was introduced by Republican Brad Jones, who believed that the measure would save the state millions of dollars by preventing people from receiving fraudulent benefits. Massachusetts has long suffered from welfare fraud, with a recent audit revealing that millions of dollars are given out as questionable benefits, including benefits to deceased people or people living out of state. The total amount given to deceased recipients totaled $2.39 million dollars, with benefits being distributed more than 27 months after dying. According to Jones, the fingerprint initiative will allow officials to crosscheck recipients and their enrollment in public assistance programs. The measure is now headed to the Senate for approval or veto. What do you think? Do you support Massachusetts?

1	After getting out of bed and trudging into his bathroom early Monday morning, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick reportedly attempted to wake himself up by splashing some blood on his face. Im usually pretty groggy in the morning, so this is a good way to get energized, said Belichick as he cupped some cold blood in his hands, tossed it onto his face several times in quick succession, and rubbed some blood in his eyes before drying off with a washcloth. I always feel so much better afterwardsrefreshed and ready to start my day. It wakes me up right away, which is great when I dont have time for my usual hot blood shower in the morning. Reports later confirmed that after getting dressed and putting on his shoes, Belichick realized he was late for work and quickly filled a travel mug with some steaming hot blood before rushing out the door. 
2	Dynasty Fans Shocked After Sadie Robertson Reveals Details About Her Sex Life Recently, 17-year-old Sadie Robertson has received national attention for her presence on the hit show Dancing with the Stars. The Duck Dynasty star claims that her new fame has opened the door for her to express her opinions on her personal faith. For my whole life Ive kind of been shadowing what my family says. Theyll say something about my faith and I agree. But now, its time for me to say, This is who I am as well. The star told interviewers. Im not hiding behind my family anymore. Im sharing my faith by myself, which has helped me to be more bold and confident saying things. And shes definitely not afraid to speak her mind. She opened up to reporters about her relationship with Blake Coward, claiming that he was raised in the same kind of family as she was, but that she is not sure he is the one. I dont really date guys who dont feel the same way. Its going to be way harder if we went into a relationship having different opinions about that, Sadie told interviewers. You never know who youre going to end up with. Who knows if my boyfriend will be my husband? Ive always thought that I would marry young, but it just depends on if I have the right guy with me. Sadie also claims that after being with Blake 10 months, being a Christian doesnt make it any easier to stop herself from having sex with him. What do you think of Sadies comments? Do you applaud her speaking out about her sexuality? 
2	The View Suffers MASSIVE Blow Even After Apologizing For Nurse Comments... This Is The End The View is facing some serious consequences for their comments about Miss Colorado Kelley Johnson, and her touching monologue about being a nurse. During her monologue, Johnson (second runner-up) took to the stage in her nurses scrubs. She spoke to the audience about her true talentcaring for patients. In particular, she talked about an experience she had with an Alzheimers patient. I went over to him and I lifted his head up out of his hands, Johnson began. And I said, Joe, I know that this is really hard. But, you are not defined by this disease. While many viewers were touched by the monologue, Michelle Collins of The View had a very different perspective. Collins claims that Johnson came in a nurses uniform, and basically read emails out loud and shockingly did not win. I swear to God it was hilarious. Why does she have a doctors stethoscope around her neck? co-host Behar chimed in. Both hosts agreed that they did not believe Johnson had a real talent. Shortly after their comments were made, social media erupted with backlash. Nurses banded together with the #NursesUnited hashtag. Despite apologies from the hosts, Johnson Johnson and Egglands Best demonstrated their support for nurses by pulling their advertisements from the popular talk show. What do you think? Do you support Johnson? Should The View be cancelled already? 
3	Homeless Camp Outside City Hall To Protest Anti-Camping LawsBy John Vibes In Sacremento, the homeless population is fighting back against a recent ordinance that makes it illegal for them to camp in the city. Many of them have been camped out in front of city hall for the past month and are demanding a reversal of the camping ban. It shouldnt be illegal to be able to just find a safe spot to sleep, homeless camper Mohammed Abughannan told KCRA. We want to let them to know that were not here to trash their property. Were not here to destroy it. Were just here to make a statement that in the future, hopefully, that this will all be resolved, David Sanchez, another homeless camper said. The protesters say that they will be camping until the city changes the law, but city officials released a statement earlier this month saying that they have no intention of repealing the law. The Sacramento city council is not inclined to repeal the citys anti-camping ordinance, the statement read. Organizer James Faygo Clark said they wont be backing down. Well, then they better be ready for us to maintain our presence here for a lot longer and continue to grow, Clark said.

3	The FDA Doesnt Regulate the Word NaturalKaren De Coster, Contributor The controversy went viral a week ago after a Rhode Island grocer tacked a note to one of his store shelves, telling customers he wouldnt sell the cereal because he found out the brand used genetically engineered, non-organic ingredients. Photos of the note began popping up on Facebook pages and food blogs as some consumers claimed Kellogg was misrepresenting its cereal. The soy in cereals comes from soybeans that have had a gene inserted to protect the soybeans from the herbicide Roundup, which kills weeds. Kashi has done nothing wrong, says David DeSouza, Kashi general manager. The FDA has chosen not to regulate the term natural, he says. The company defines natural as food thats minimally processed, made with no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives or sweeteners. The word natural is one of the most abused words in the marketing orbit. After all, looking at the definition above, wouldnt packaged rattlesnake poison qualify as natural? The Big Food, corporate state conglomerates are mighty good at maneuvering within FDA guidelines and intentionally misrepresenting their products while banking on the ignorance of consumers. In the end, however, I blame the consumers who refuse to take accountability for the acquisition of simple knowledge on food matters and thus doom themselves to perpetual ignorance and self-imposed serfdom.

3	NATO Nukes in Romania: Rumor Mill Vs. RealityBy Ulson Gunnar Following a failed coup in July, Turkey has accused the US openly of orchestrating the attempted overthrow of the government. Despite this, US forces continue operating from Turkish territory, and according to official reports, American nuclear weapons remain in Turkey. But what if they were being moved? And if not to Romania as Romanian officials insist, to another NATO member state, what would this mean? And if they are not being moved, who started this rumor and why? The US currently maintains nuclear weapons in a number of NATO countries (Turkey, Belgium, Italy, German and the Netherlands) under a nuclear sharing program that dates back to the Cold War. The impact of joining this program is politically and strategically significant. There are risks and responsibilities involved with hosting US nuclear weapons, and those nations that seek to opt out once in the program can struggle for years before these weapons are finally removed from their territory. A 2009 Der Spiegel article titled, Yankee Bombs Go Home: Foreign Minister Wants US Nukes out of Germany, highlights just how difficult this can be, especially considering that as of 2016, US nuclear weapons remain in Germany, and as Deutsche Welle points out, new weapons may even be on their way. According to a 2010 paper by The Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) titled, NATOs Tactical Nuclear Dilemma (PDF), part of the reasoning of maintaining nuclear weapons in Europe and Turkey is to give the NATO alliance credibility as well as discourage nuclear proliferation both within NATO and beyond it. The paper postulated that the removal of nuclear weapons from Turkey could unbalance the region strategically and spur nuclear proliferation from Iran to Saudi Arabia and perhaps even force Turkey itself to seek its own nuclear weapons. In regards to Turkey, the paper concluded that maintaining US nuclear weapons there was desirable both for Turkey and for NATO. Considering what were perceived to be the consequences of removing nuclear weapons from Turkey in 2010, the transferring of US nuclear weapons to Romania now would be serious indeed. Thus, floating rumors of the weapons being moved could have been aimed at pressuring Ankara to make concessions regarding any number of current US projects in the region, the most prominent of which would be its ongoing proxy war against Syria, Russia and Iran. Another possibility may have been to simply add credibility to claims that US and Turkish ties are strained, even unraveling. This might be perceived as necessary considering the lack of actual, quantifiable fallout seen on the ground in Turkey in regards to a continued US presence within its territory, as well as on the ground along the Turkish-Syrian border. This geopolitical subterfuge might be aimed at Russia and Syria as a means of drawing them in before an inevitable betrayal. US nuclear weapons stationed in Turkey and throughout Europe have always been somewhat secretive. In the RUSI paper words such as reportedly are used in reference to the number and location of US nuclear weapons across the region. This secrecy makes rumors regarding US nuclear weapons and their potential movement from Turkey to Romania particularly attractive in terms of extorting geopolitical concessions and manipulating public perception as they are difficult to confirm or deny. However, the perceived implications of the move have already been placed in the minds of many. But regardless of these rumors, the reality of US-Turkish ties remains to be seen on the ground, in Turkey, at Incirlik Airbase, at Americas sprawling complex in Ankara where a variety of diplomatic, political and military activities are organized from and along the Turkish-Syrian border where US forces and various armed proxies are still operating. When Ankara begins taking concrete steps toward truly ending the war in Syria, such as cutting off supply lines that have fed US, European, and Persian Gulf-backed militants for years, resulting in the collapse of militant forces particularly in Idlib and around Aleppo, there may be proper impetus to make the prospect of transferring US nuclear weapons out of Turkey more believable. Likewise, should Turkey begin incrementally removing the large presence of US military and diplomatic personnel from its territory to levels more proportionate to those seen in non-NATO member states, the idea of the US moving its nuclear weapons out of the country will not seem so far fetched. However, even if Turkey wanted to take all of these steps, it would not be easy to immediately implement them. Much of what constitutes current US-Turkish ties has been in the making for decades, forged during the Cold War and tempered further in its aftermath. And if these decidedly smaller steps are difficult to initiate, larger steps like transferring nuclear weapons and altering the geopolitical and strategic lay of an entire region are even more so. With this in mind, we should consider these rumors as possibly coercive in nature, and even more so, possibly meant to manipulate public perception into believing the fallout between Turkey and the US is greater than it really is. Regardless, when really put into perspective, the possibility of the US transferring nuclear weapons from Turkey to Romania is still just that, rumors. Ulson Gunnar, a New York-based geopolitical analyst and writer especially for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook. Yankee Bombs Go Home: is right. The middle ages had its own nuclear bombs in various diseases [Black plague / Cholera / yellow Fever and all manner of deadly diseases . We in the 21 st century have the USA . a blight on the people of the world . especially the poorer countries experiencing the deadly benefits of the USA and its freedom and democratic This may come as a shock, but believe it or not, every word ending in s does not require an apostrophe to precede it. Thus, the plural form of disease is diseases, and not diseases, meaning (something) belonging to the disease or the contraction for disease is. This is really quite simple, and a third grader can learn it in a couple of minutes. Thank you Wilhelmina . How childish and pathetic of you to of you to make note of my mistake and go to all that trouble to let everyone know of it . I have a suggestion for you quite near your vagina there is a hole . why dont you stick your head up it 
2	Obamas Gun Policy Goes Into Effect Jan. 1st Allowing Seizure Of All Guns Without Notification California has finally passed a law allowing the seizure of all guns without notification. The one condition is there needs to be a potential for violence, a very arbitrary phrase that will be abused to no end. This policy will go into effect on January 1, 2016. The law gives us a vehicle to cause the person to surrender their weapons, to have a time out, if you will, said Michael Moore of the Los Angeles Police Dept. It allows further examination of the persons mental state. The government will be allowed to take weapons of those they deem violent until they investigate the situation further and get a better sense of the persons mental state. This policy is 100% unconstitutional, and needs to be repealed immediately. If anything, this is Obama getting his foot in the door, and creates opportunity for him to slowly move forward with gun control. Do you think this policy should be repealed immediately? 
3	Are Water Filters Effective Against The Chemical in the West Virginia Water Supply?Daisy Luther Laura Newton, The Water Filter Lady, generously passed on the following statement from Berkey headquarters regarding water filtration in this particular situation. The company answered very honestly: This is one of those situations where you cant simply listen to officials. You have to use common sense and make your own assessments. You mustkeep in mind that toxins can sometimes stay in the body for a long time, and its difficult to know the repercussions that could occur in the future. Personally, Id be hesitant to use this water at all; but if I had no option, I would absolutely be sure to filter it with my Berkey. If I did opt to filter the water, Id replace the filters promptly as well. I cant express enough how vital it is to use this as a cautionary tale. Not only should you have water stored for emergenciessuch as this, you should also have filtration systems and back-up sources of water in the event that a future situation continued for an extended period of time.

1	After straining his abdominal muscles, Miami power forward Chris Bosh will be out indefinitely in what appears to be a severe case of poetic justice for his arrogant and presumptive team, sources close to the Heat confirmed Tuesday. An MRI performed late Monday confirmed the analysis: Bosh going down late in the first half of Miami's 95-86 victory over the Pacers Sunday was exactly what the team had coming for assuming the NBA title was theirs by right. 'After examining Bosh's test results, I have to say that this comeuppance for unbounded hubris will certainly keep Bosh out for the rest of the playoff series against Indiana, if not longer,' Heat physician Dr. Harlan Selesnick said. 'Unfortunately, no matter how fitting it may be, this is exactly the kind of cosmic, karmic punishment the team can't afford at this time.' Analysts agreed that Tuesday's 78-75 loss to the humbler, more team-oriented Pacers, who at no point attempted to create a top-heavy roster centered around three superstars, can be directly traced to Bosh's fate-induced absence. 'LeBron James and Dwyane Wade put up amazing numbers in that game, scoring 21 of the Heat's 24 points in the fourth quarter,' Associated Press sportswriter Jeff Latzke said. 'Of course, that simply showcases their selfishness and serves to demonstrate how the hand of universal justice was already smiting them for their unearned pride.' 'The sight of Ronny Turiaf, Udonis Haslem and Joel Anthony struggling to make up for Bosh's presence reminds us that a team without depth can never truly prevail,' ESPN's J.A. Adande said. 'Unfortunately, when a franchise tries to buy a championship artificially instead of building a team naturally over years of hard work and development, it becomes more vulnerable to the machinations of fate as the universe attempts to restore its balance. Frankly, the Heat should have expected this kind of heavenly retribution.' For his part, Bosh has said that he would be back 'once our season is extended' and that he hoped his injury 'doesn't mean we have to wait another year for a championship,' casting doubt on whether he has actually begun to recover from his case of poetic justice. 'It's exactly this kind of presumption, this sense of entitlement, the idea that the Heat are somehow destined to win simply because they are the Heat, that knocked Bosh out in the first place,' Adande said. 'At this rate it seems he's just trying to get D-Wade's leg broken or have LeBron struck by lightning.' Claiming that Bosh's aggressive playing style simply makes him more prone to stress injuries such as muscle strains, Miami coach Erik Spoelstra was markedly reluctant to address questions as to whether the Heat's generally unlikable attitude, infuriating sense of entitlement, or general lack of character played any part in fortune taking a much-deserved toll. 'As usual, I think the rest of the NBA is reacting with jealousy and bitterness by enjoying that one of our superstars is hurt. Well, we have two other superstars, and many of these lesser teams have none,' Spoelstra said Tuesday night in a brazen display of exactly the sort of cocksure attitude the Heat are currently being punished for. 'Enjoy your sour grapes while you can, because we do not plan to lose this one.' 
1	Shedding new light on the biological underpinnings behind the behavior, scientists at Brown University announced Tuesday that eating appears to serve a number of key functions besides relieving anxiety. While a considerable portion of food is indeed ingested in order to distract an individual from feelings of panic and insecurity, our research shows that eating actually confers several benefits beyond temporarily holding despair at bay, said Dr. Sandra Lutkin, who explained that consuming food has been found to provide vital nutrients to the human body and in many cases replenish it with energy, suggesting that its primary purpose may not be as a coping mechanism at all. In fact, we observed dozens of subjects and discovered that only a portion of the items they ingested were intended to assuage their apprehension about their job, relationship, or body image. However, much more research must be conducted to learn more about these little-known, non-stress-relieving purposes of eating. Although she cautioned the findings were tentative, Lutkin posited that there might be additional methods of eating besides frantically devouring a meal directly over a trash can or sink. 
3	Cheney, Rothschild, and Fox News Murdoch to Drill for Oil in Syria, Violating International LawBy Justin Gardner Genie Energy is an American-based oil and gas company with major investors and advisors comprising a whos who list of war profiteersDick Cheney, Rupert Murdoch, Lord Jacob Rothschild, and James Woolsey. The president of their Israeli subsidiary is Efraim Effi Eitam, an Israeli military commander who called for expelling the cancer of Arabs from Israel. Together, these warmongers and would-be ethnic cleansers will soon be drilling into a vast oil and gas reserve located in the Syrian territory occupied by Israel since 1967, known as Golan Heights. The move would be in clear violation of international law, specifically the Annex to the Fourth Geneva Convention. Israeli authorities granted Genie Energys subsidiary, Afek Oil and Gas, exclusive petroleum exploration rights in a 153-square-mile region in Golan Heights. In 2015, above-ground geophysical tests discovered the presence of oil and natural gas reserves that could make Israel energy self-sufficient. Afek has already drilled three exploratory wells. Israel has benefited from its illegal occupation of Syrias Golan Heights for decades, drawing one-third of its entire water supply from the region and providing a tourist and skiing destination at the Mount Hermon Ski Resort. Despite persistent international pressure, including from the U.S., the occupation continues and will reach a new level with the extraction of fossil fuels. Rupert Murdoch heralded his involvement in Genie Energy by touting the prosperity and freedom it will bring to the world. Covering and distributing news has been my lifes work, said Mr. Murdoch. If Genies effort to develop shale oil is successful, as I believe it will be, then the news well report in the coming decades will reflect a more prosperous, more democratic, and more secure world. Of course, the war-stricken, starving, desperate people of Syria will never see a shred of that prosperity and security. Murdochs Fox news channel has been instrumental in pushing war in the Middle East and obfuscating the role played by the U.S. in fomenting the Syrian war, and soon he and his cronies will be reaping the profits. While they make plans to steal energy resources from illegally occupied Syria, Genie Energy engages in publicity stunts to preempt the criticism that will undoubtedly follow. Last Christmas they donated coats and toys to needy families in Newark, New Jersey. Drilling in Golan Heights is also drawing concerns about its impact to drinking water supplies. Since the reserves are locked up as shale oil, hydraulic fracturing (fracking) would likely be used to extract the fossil fuels. The shale oil is in close proximity to a large aquifer which supplies drinking water to the region; the fracking chemicals and polluted water spilled onto the ground could contaminate this water supply. A temporary restraining order was issued by the Israeli High Court in 2014, but did not last long as moneyed interests won out. Momentum for the illegal oil drilling of Syrian territory by Murdoch, Cheney and the gang is aided by the assumption that Golan Heights is already part of Israel. Afek Oil and Gas refers to their newfound field simply as northern Israel. A prominent Israeli politician, Naftali Bennett, in 2015, called for the world to recognize Golan Heights as Israeli territory, while calling for the expansion of Jewish settlers in the region. I want to challenge the entire world, said Bennett at the 15th annual Herzliya Conference of the Institute for Policy and Strategy. I want to give the international community an opportunity to demonstrate their ethics. Recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Dick Cheney, Rupert Murdoch, Jacob Rothschild, and their henchmen have a long tradition of promoting war in the Middle East and exploiting its oil resources. The cabal formed under Genie Energy, led by the unapologetic Arab hater Effie Eitam, appears to have nothing standing in the way of their next conquest in Syrias Golan Heights. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com This would be ill advised. Russia is going to evict Israel from the Golan as soon as it has secured Syrias borders and shut down the terrorists supply lines. Putin will give Israel a timeline for evacuation and offer all necessary assistance from the Russian military if Israel has a problem staying focused and on schedule. Then the western headlines would once again read Russian aggression causes disruption in Syria or some pizzle like that. Only retarded monkeys read believe in western media.. Thus the relatively stupid characteristic rebuttals and remarks. The globalist solution in Syria, as a narrative, could just a easily be a UN approach to brokering peace, in which case, Genie would likely be allowed to work in Golan. Russias central banking system is part and parcel of the Rothschilds/IMF/BIS/World Bank cartel and Summers (on Genies board) is the most powerful bankster and Trilateralist (besides Rockefeller). Its the top tier mafia. LOL. You wish. Fred isnt reading or watching the J-controlled MSM; hes getting his info from alternative media; therefore, hes right on target in saying that this oil-drilling plan is ill-advised and that the Russians will evict Israel from the Golan Heights, which is a part of Syria. Israel did seize the Golan Heights during the 1967 Six-Day War, but returned it to Syria years later; therefore, this territory no longer belongs to the Zionist Entity .. its forces are there illegally, and will be forced out if any such drilling does take place. The oil beneath the ground there belongs to Syria as well. Great article, Justin. Keep it up. Nice as that sounds Fred, I dont think its likely. Two more on the Genie list: Bill Richardson, former UN ambassador and US energy secretary, and, Larry SUMMERS, Godfather of international banking, architect of the banking crisis, GOLDMAN Sachs alum, World Bank economist, US Secretary of Treasury, chief adviser for Russian government privatization of public assets, etc. Gulfsands Petroleum has been operating in Syria for years controlled by western elite institutions including: Bank of American, Barclays, AIG, and GOLDMAN Sachs. One of Gulfsands major shareholders is Rami MAKHLOUF, Assads cousin the wealthiest billionaire in Syria considered to be the manager of the Assad family fortune, (working in tandem with this brother Hafez, the chief of Syrias intelligence agency). Makhlouf contracted with the law firm Mossack Fonseca (founder Fonseca a German national) specializing in the creation of SHELL COMPANIES to hide assets in offshore accounts. Fonseca worked with the infamous Robert Mugabe, as well as an Israeli billionaire who has plundered one of Africas poorest countries, and a business oligarch named Lzaro Bez who according to reports by a federal prosecutor in Argentina, allegedly laundered tens of millions of dollars through a network of shell firms. (VICE 12/3/14). Two wrongs dont make a right, yet ignoring Syria is being plundered from both inside and outside forces, the Syrian elite deep connections to the Global Elite, and the Syrian top caste acceptance of the NWO creates blind spots. The grand misnomer here is that people still have great reason to value oil. Better we should learn to devalue war mongering hegemonic maniacs. John 15: odd considering oil is below $32 a barrel. the Saudis are flooding the market.mad about our fracking Slanted much? Oh noes. People want to exploit natural resources and sell them to us. Im horrified. Its not like human beings havent been doing this forever, anyways. And about Syria, how well do you think Assad cares for his people now? LOL! Then you accuse companies who never signed any treaty of violating some treaty or another. Your article is farcial. Please stop the SJW agitprop. Even Trump is yelling get the oil but its not ours we shouldnt be thieves . we have our own oil.plenty in fact Might makes right does not make America great againthats a curse. Its not the American people who will benefit from this plunder, some of Israel already has the Leviathon oil deposit.this is just GREED The Golan belongs to Israel. It was among this class of Globalist manipulators that our Canadian Prime Minister, with his Masters from University of Calgary and not much else, certainly no real world experience, certainly having missed Financial Maneuvering 101, 102, 103, ventured forth, and put all our Canadian chips, even the prosperity in Ontario and Eastern Canada, on the Oil Sands of Alberta, and lost it all. Most businessmen had business plans that included a safe bankruptcy clause, and Harpers deregulation facilitated their unjustified and ungoverned gains,and they did in fact fold their tents cashin their chips and disappeared into the night. What remains today is an avoidable environmental disaster of world proportions from Harpers Rip and Ship policies, and a huge workforce of good Canadians, on the hook for huge personal debts that were foisted upon them by Harpers corporate cronies in real estate and other businesses. Rachel Notley, the new NDP Provincial Prime Minister now faces a Harper Policy caused rise of 30% in the Suicide Rate there, almost directly related to Harpers pro corporate anti-Canadian Voter policies over ten years in the Oil Sands. Rafi Eitam was Jonathan Pollards handler!!!! This is in-your-face collective treason. Sever all communication with Israel and all collaborators lined up and shot. This is the only worthy response. To these vile and self-serving Megalomaniacs there are no laws that could ever or have to apply to them. 
1	In an effort to make his childrens upcoming weekend visit to his apartment more fun, divorced man and father of two Peter Dolan, 41, told reporters Monday that he has purchased a packet of string cheese. Josh and Hannah will like these, said Dolan after placing a six-pack of Sargento mozzarella cheese snacks in the dairy compartment of his largely empty refrigerator in preparation for his son and daughters weekend visit. Its cheese, but it comes in these little tubes that you can pull apart. So its a snack, but its fun, too. Maybe we can all eat it together. Dolan added that after his children enjoy the cheese, the three of them could go see a movie at a nearby movie theater or just hang out and watch TV. 
2	God Touched This Country Singer In His Final Moments Before Losing His Life To THIS Craig Strickland, a country star from Oklahoma, went on a hunting trip with his friend. He was part of the country band, Backroad Anthem. During his trip, Strickland got hit by a winter storm with gusts of up to 45 mph and temp as low as 15 F. Before heading into the storm his friend, Chase Morland, left us with a tweet: In case we dont come back, @BackroadCRAIG and I are going right through Winter Storm Goliath to kill ducks in Oklahoma. #IntoTheStorm. Their two bodies showed up days after going missing. Their loved ones, although heartbroken, trusted in God to take care of their son, husband, father, and friend. His wife Helen left a beautiful Instagram post. His band also left a wonderful post. He was loved by many. And we are glad that they hold God close to their hearts. Craig is in a better place. Please pray for him and his loved ones. 
1	Saying the penalty will cover the costs incurred by the financial institution whenever a customer makes a withdrawal that results in a positive account balance, Bank of America introduced a new $50 underdraft fee Tuesday on all checking and savings accounts. Beginning today, we will assess a fee on customers who withdraw less money than they have available, bank spokesperson Melissa Scott told reporters, noting that the $50 surcharge will automatically be deducted any time a patron uses a Bank of America debit card or check to make a purchase that is less than the dollar amount of his or her account balance. Were confident this new fee shouldnt be an issue for most of our customers. As long as account holders remain vigilant about their finances, and make sure not to withdraw too little money, they should be able to conduct their banking business as usual without ever receiving a sufficient funds notice. To further incentivize customers against repeating such a financial mistake, Scott added that the fee will increase with each additional underdraft, with the penalty rising to $75 for a second offense, $150 for a third offense, and a value equal to the remaining balance of ones account for any additional underdraft committed thereafter. 
1	The Mysterious Congressman, whose presidential campaign continues to be propelled by the dashing, effortless flair with which he exposes the cowardice and duplicity of lesser legislators, challenged presidential candidates of both major political parties Monday to a great public debate. The congressman is cheered by admirers on his way to the Capitol. 'Gentlemen and lady who vie with me for our nation's most exalted office: Hear me now!' said the caped and gloved lawmaker from the dome of the Capitol building, the last rays of the setting sun captured in his upthrust rapier and in his equally keen and steely eyes. 'It is my most earnest intention to confront you all, not with the clash of steel, but with the far more noble edge of a more deadly weapon: namely, my wit.' Following his announcement, the Mysterious Congressman (D-WI) sprang from the dome amid thrilled shrieks from the oppressed D.C. citizenry, alighted gracefully on the strong, broad back of his steed, LaFollette, and galloped down the National Mall, borne away on the cheers of the throng as a ship on the waves. Capitol police called to the scene once again found only a single red-white-and-blue rose, accompanied by a stack of talking-point memoranda written in the form of tastefully understated rhyming quatrains. Penned in his trademark droll yet frank style, the memoranda laid out a demanding but elegantly simple debate format, in which 'no fools shall be suffered and no question begged.' 'His appeal for a debate unconstrained by time or subject is exactly what I have yearned for, lo these many years,' said Alexandria, VA carpet salesman Craig Hendershott. 'Did you hear how he laughed off the moderating services of [CNN anchor] Wolf Blitzer when he was so arrogantly offered them? That we finally have a candidate who stands for the gloriously free and open exchange of ideas is as a great bell pealing in our hearts.' 'Long have I dared hope of a wonderful man who would speak plainly yet truly of the national matters that darken our days, especially health care, education, and our tragic entanglement in a war amongst the Muhammadans,' said Maribel Suarez, a Walgreens cashier and mother of three. 'Now, hope, once near-extinguished, flames brightly within my breast once more.' Many candidates expressed reactions ranging from puzzlement to contempt, saying that the Mysterious Congressman's call to debate, while brazen, lacked clear details, as it offered no precise venue and suggested no issues. However, as the day drew on, these same candidates found themselves receiving personal invitations in a fashion characteristic of the challenger. 'I returned to my private quarters at midday to find the door ajar and the lights extinguished,' said Mitt Romney, a former governor of the Massachusetts Commonwealth and a leading aspirant to the presidency. 'Nonetheless, I entered, assuming laziness on the part of my servants and womenfolk. The next thing I recall, the captain of my personal guard was shaking me to consciousness, one of those damned spangled roses was thrust in my lapel, and stuffed in my mouth was a gilt-edged rolled parchment instructing me to appear at the portico of the Jefferson Memorial at sunrise on the fifteenth of August prepared to argue 'for my miserable soul' my stance on age-appropriate sex education.' 'Curse his infernal cheek!' Romney said, tearing the tricolored rose from his suit jacket and dashing it to the floor. 'He'll have his damnable debateand may he choke upon it!' While being bussed to a campaign stop in New Hampshire, Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) reportedly discovered that his driver had been supplanted by a familiar caped figure, who handed him a parchment and warned him, playfully yet firmly, that 'where foreign policy and diplomatic matters are concerned, the safest path was no direction in which a truly honorable man would flee.' Former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson found his invitation and several saucily phrased notes printed neatly on a vellum scroll, which was tucked into the perfumed bosom of his coquettish trophy wife, Jeri, although she either could not or would not explain how it came to reside there. Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS) arrived at the Congressional infirmary with his invitation to defend his proposed budget cuts carved neatly into the slack flesh of his backside. And a flushed, disheveled, and distracted Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) announced at a press conference early Tuesday that the Mysterious Congressman had swung in through her apartment window during the night and delivered his invitation in person. 'I wish to reassure the public that the Mysterious Congressman was, in fact, a perfect gentleman,' said Clinton, her posture and tone failing to conceal an air of disappointment. 'A perfect gentleman.' Per the Mysterious Congressman's directive, the debate will held in one fortnight's time on the shores of the Tidal Basin at day's first light. It will be broadcast simultaneously by all network and cable-news channels. 
1	Following Tuesday night's game between the Twins and the Indians, home-plate umpire Sam Holbrook told reporters he was 'getting nauseous' while watching Twins catcher Joe Mauer and Indians center fielder Grady Sizemore playfully giggle, tease, and brush up against each another during Sizemore's at bats. 'Get a room,' said Holbrook, who imitated the players with cartoonishly high-pitched voices and then pretended to vomit. 'At one point, [Sizemore] called a time-out so he could stare into [Mauer's] eyes. That's not baseball. Plus, it's just plain gross.' In a press conference after the game, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire spoke out on behalf of Mauer and Sizemore and claimed that flirting with your opponents 'is and has always been part of the game.' 
3	Tactical Financial Nuclear BombsDave Kranzler Our entire financial is one giant hog farm Dave Kranzler, 2015 Hope and Change. Remember that campaign slogan? Boy, we sure hope something like the 2008 financial collapse doesnt happen again. But alas, Obama didnt change anything. In fact, the financial fraud and risky leverage embedded in the system is worse now than back then. Among Wall Streets improvised electronic devices, aka roadside financial bombs, that blew up our financial system in 2008 were Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs) which had credit default swaps wrapped around them. This was the financial tactical nuke that blew up AIG and Goldman. These securities were cesspools of subprime mortgages thrown into a security that was sliced up into various tranches with varying degrees of risk. Goldman would sell these primarily to hedge funds and insurance companies. Goldman would then underwrite credit default swaps which offered other hedge funds and insurance companies the ability to bet on the CDO blowing up and, conversely, allowing investors who bought into the CDO insurance against the CDO blowing up. Goldman itself would retain a piece of the action. The rest is history, as Goldman found itself fatally exposed to AIGs inability to fund the side of the credit swap in which it guaranteed that the CDOs wouldnt blow up. Thats how counterparty default risk operates. In this case, it blew up our financial system, cost the taxpayers directly about $1 trillion in direct funding to bail out Goldman, AIG, et al. The cost of the $4 trillion printed by the Fed has yet to be felt all of us, but rest assured it will be Well guess what? The CDO/credit default structure is re-born, only this time in the form of Bespoke Tranche Opportunities: Rather than a securitized trust filled up with junk mortgages and junk corporate bonds, this ugly beast has greasy hair on it. Its a securitized trust of derivatives in the form of credit default swaps, ostensibly with pseudo high grade and junk corporate debt issues used as the underlying reference securities. And of course this package will be wrapped up with a credit default swap on the entire cesspool of derivatives: Whereas the CDOs of 2008 vintage were portfolios of debt securities gift-wrapped in a credit default swap, the 2014 vintage gift from Wall Street is a portfolio of derivatives wrapped up with another derivative. Sheer. Financial. Insanity. Our entire system is now significantly more leveraged than it was in 2008 especially when you factor in the various forms of derivatives which are now thanks to Dodd Frank/Obama/Eric Holder/etc even more opaquely embedded into the financial systems balance sheet. When this blows, the financial mushroom cloud will be a sight to behold. You can read more from Dave Kranzler at his site Investment Research Dynamics, where this article first appeared. 
3	100 Million Poor People In America And 39 Other Facts About Poverty That Will Blow Your MindMichael Snyder, Contributor Right now, approximately 100 million Americans are either poor or near poor. For a lot of people poverty can be a nebulous concept, so lets define it. The poverty level as defined by the federal government in 2010 was $11,139 for an individual and $22,314 for a family of four. Could you take care of a family of four on less than $2000 a month? Millions upon millions of families are experiencing a tremendous amount of pain in this economy, and no matter what solutions we think are correct, the reality is that we all should have compassion on them. Sadly, things are about to get even worse. The next major economic downturn is rapidly approaching, and when it hits the statistics posted below are going to look even more horrendous. When it comes to poverty, most Americans immediately want to get into debates about tax rates and wealth redistribution and things like that. But the truth is that they are missing the main point. The way we slice up the pie is not going to solve our problems, because the pie is constantly getting smaller. Dont be fooled by the government statistics that show a very small amount of economic growth. Those figures do not account for inflation. After accounting for inflation, our economic growth has actually been negative all the way back into the middle of the last decade. According to numbers compiled by John Williams of shadowstats.com, our real GDP has continually been negative since 2005. So that means we are getting poorer as a nation. Meanwhile, we have been piling up astounding amounts of debt. 40 years ago the total amount of debt in the United States (government, business and consumer) was less than 2 trillion dollars. Today it is nearly 55 trillion dollars. So we have a massive problem. Our economic pie is shrinking and millions of Americans have been falling out of the middle class. Meanwhile, we have been piling up staggering amounts of debt in order to maintain our vastly inflated standard of living. As our economic problems get even worse, those trends are going to accelerate even more. So dont look down on the poor. You might be joining them a lot sooner than you might think. The following are 40 facts about poverty in America that will blow your mind. #1 In the United States today, somewhere around 100 million Americans are considered to be either poor or near poor. #2 It is being projected that when the final numbers come out later this year that the U.S. poverty rate will be the highest that it has been in almost 50 years. #3 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. #4 Today, one out of every four workers in the United States brings home wages that are at or below the poverty level. #5 According to the Wall Street Journal, 49.1 percent of all Americans live in a home where at least one person receives financial benefits from the government. Back in 1983, that number was below 30 percent. #6 It is projected that about half of all American adults will spend at least some time living below the poverty line before they turn 65. #7 Today, there are approximately 20.2 million Americans that spend more than half of their incomes on housing. That represents a 46 percent increase from 2001. #8 During 2010, 2.6 million more Americans fell into poverty. That was the largest increase that we have seen since the U.S. government began keeping statistics on this back in 1959. #9 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the percentage of very poor rose in 300 out of the 360 largest metropolitan areas during 2010. #10 Since Barack Obama became president, the number of Americans living in poverty has risen by 6 million and the number of Americans on food stamps has risen by 14 million. #11 Right now, one out of every seven Americans is on food stamps and one out of every four American children is on food stamps. #12 It is projected that half of all American children will be on food stamps at least once before they turn 18 years of age. #13 The poverty rate for children living in the United States is 22 percent, although when the new numbers are released in the fall that number is expected to go even higher. #14 One university study estimates that child poverty costs the U.S. economy 500 billion dollars a year. #15 Households that are led by a single mother have a 31.6% poverty rate. #16 In 2010, 42 percent of all single mothers in the United States were on food stamps. #17 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. #18 Since 2007, the number of children living in poverty in the state of California has increased by 30 percent. #19 Child homelessness in the United States has risen by 33 percent since 2007. #20 There are 314 counties in the United States where at least 30% of the children are facing food insecurity. #21 More than 20 million U.S. children rely on school meal programs to keep from going hungry. #22 A higher percentage of Americans is living in extreme poverty (6.7 percent) than has ever been measured before. #23 If you can believe it, 37 percent of all U.S. households that are led by someone under the age of 35 have a net worth of zero or less than zero. #24 A lot of younger Americans have found that they cannot make it on their own in this economy. Today, approximately 25 million American adults are living with their parents. #25 Today, one out of every six elderly Americans lives below the federal poverty line. #26 Amazingly, the wealthiest 1 percent of all Americans own more wealth than the bottom 95 percent combined. #27 The six heirs of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton have a net worth that is roughly equal to the bottom 30 percent of all Americans combined. #28 At this point, the poorest 50% of all Americans now control just 2.5% of all of the wealth in this country. #29 Back in 1980, less than 30% of all jobs in the United States were low income jobs. Today, more than 40% of all jobs in the United States are low income jobs. #30 Right now, the United States actually has a higher percentage of workers doing low wage work than any other major industrialized nation does. #31 Half of all American workers earn $505 or less per week. #32 In 1970, 65 percent of all Americans lived in middle class neighborhoods. By 2007, only 44 percent of all Americans lived in middle class neighborhoods. #33 Federal housing assistance outlays increased by a whopping 42 percent between 2006 and 2010. #34 Approximately 50 million Americans do not have any health insurance at all right now. #35 Back in 1965, only one out of every 50 Americans was on Medicaid. Today, approximately one out of every 6 Americans is on Medicaid. #36 It is being projected that Obamacare will add 16 million more Americans to the Medicaid rolls. #37 Back in 1990, the federal government accounted for 32 percent of all health care spending in America. Today, that figure is up to 45 percent and it is projected to surpass 50 percent very shortly. #38 Overall, the amount of money that the federal government gives directly to the American people has risen by 32 percent since Barack Obama entered the White House. #39 It was recently reported that 1.5 million American families live on less than two dollars a day (before counting government benefits). #40 The unemployment rate in the U.S. has been above 8 percent for 40 months in a row, and 42 percent of all unemployed Americans have been out of work for at least half a year. Recently, I wrote a long article about why there will never be enough jobs in the United States ever again. That means that a whole lot of Americans are not going to be able to take care of themselves. As our economy gets even worse, there is going to be a tremendous need for more love, compassion and generosity all over the country.

3	Effective Immediately: Illinois Decriminalizes Marijuana PossessionBy Brandon Turbeville This is because Governor Bruce Rauner signed legislation last week which makes Illinois the third largest state in the country to decriminalize minor marijuana offenses. The new law makes having 10 grams or less of marijuana a civil offense as opposed to a criminal one. Thus, the penalty for possession of over 10 grams will be a fine of up to 200 dollars. The law also sets an official standard for what will be considered too impaired to drive. Previously, any trace amount of marijuana at all was considered impaired, an obviously oppressive and illogical standard since marijuana can remain in a persons system for several weeks. The new law creates a standard of 5 nanograms of THC in the drivers blood within two hours of consumption. The governor had been expected to sign the bill despite the fact that he vetoed a similar piece of legislation last year. At the time of his veto, Rauner said that existing penalties for small marijuana offenses were too harsh and that criminal prosecution of cannabis possession is also a drain on public resources. We proudly welcome Governor Rauner to the 21st century. Laimutis Nargelenas, Springfield Park Police Chief, and former lobbyist for the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police, is very concerned. Youre giving individuals more opportunities for drug usage, said Nargelenas. At this point, we would like to make a joke about welcoming Nargelenas to the 18th century, but, interestingly enough, the people of that century had more much more rational views on marijuana than he does. Instead, we will allow Nargelenas to remain in the Twilight Zone where marijuana is dangerous, Prozac is safe and police who are scarcely indistinguishable from the military is a sign that everything is okay. Many others in the state have praised Rauners action, most likely tired of seeing non-violent people having their lives ruined, thrown into cages and otherwise being brutalized not by the plant they were arrested for but by the people who are allegedly protecting them from it. The new Illinois bill will also require municipalities to purge citation records of marijuana possession every six months although it does allow local governments to opt out of this clause. The bill goes into effect immediately.

The U.S. Government makes too much money on illegal drug sales to ever legalize them completely. The CIA would not be able to fund the arms they give to rebels to overthrow the democratic process in vassal states. Have any mainstream media outlets reported on this story? Sounds hard to believe. WTF??? ONLY!!! 10!!! GRAMS?? IT SHOULD BE SEVERAL OZS LIKE WASHINGTON! Taxes and burdensome rules, regulation and corruption are so high in Illinois that one needs to be high to stay there. I would post something intelligently written, but AP since deletes my posts why bother?. So ill just say what the paid posters say. government is ruining our lives!!!

3	SC Bill To Register, Determine Competency Of Journalists (Updated)By Brandon Turbeville Enter another freedom-shredding bill submitted by the Constitutional non-scholar Mike Pitts, a Republican State House member from Laurens, S.C. Pitts bill would establish a responsible journalism registry to be operated by the South Carolina Secretary of State. The summary of the bill states that it would establish requirements for persons before working as a journalist for a media outlet and for media outlets before hiring a journalist as well as establish penalties, fines, and jail sentences for violations. And, of course, for other purposes. H. 4702 also states, A person seeking to register shall provide all information required by the office including, but not limited to, a criminal record background check, an affidavit from the media outlet attesting to the applicants journalistic competence, and an application fee in an amount determined by the office. It then describes how a journalist will be determined competent (essentially at the whim of the Secretary of State) by stating, Before working as a journalist for a media outlet in this State, a person shall provide a criminal record background check to the media outlet to determine journalistic competence and register with the South Carolina Responsible Journalism Registry. After registering, the person shall provide a copy of the registration to the media outlet. A person may not work as a journalist until the person provides a copy of a registration to the media outlet. Bill Rogers, Executive Director of the S.C. Press Association says that the bill is ridiculous and totally unconstitutional and that the government cannot require journalists to register as the First Amendment ensures freedom of the press. One can only imagine what fit of mental illness provoked Pitts to submit such a bill. After all, Pitts has professed his support of the Second Amendment repeatedly in the past so many might be scratching their heads as to why he is so antagonistic to the First. At this point, we are only left to guess as to why Pitts chose to launch his assault on the freedom of speech, expression, and the press. Was it because he is bitter over all the negative publicity he has received in recent months and the threat those critical articles may have on his career of parasitism? Did Pitts lose his place while reading the U.S. Constitution and skim over the Bill of Rights? Did Pitts recently travel to Saudi Arabia and realize the Saudis have a better system? Is he suffering from an extended bout of untreated syphilis? Seriously, any of these explanations are as legitimate as the bill itself. Regardless, Pitts bill should promptly be shot down. In fact, H.4702 should only be preceded in death by Pitts political career. Clearly, no one in their right mind would ever support such a piece of legislation (but I didnt say it wouldnt pass) and no one in Pitts state of mind should ever be allowed to submit it. In an attempt to shame anti-gun proponents and their unrelenting attack on civil liberties and Constitutional rights, S.C. Rep. Mike Pitts of Laurens, S.C. submitted the above as what can be termed a satire bill to the S.C. Congress. His bill sought to establish a registry of journalists to be operated by the S.C. Secretary of State and was apparently modeled after a number of anti-gun bills he has seen submitted in the past. The bill, like most anti-gun bills, was blatantly unconstitutional. It was, in fact, ridiculous. It was also the point of the legislation. It strikes me as ironic that the first question is constitutionality from a press that has no problem demonizing firearms, Pitts said. With this statement Im talking primarily about printed press and TV. The TV stations, the six oclock news and the printed press [have] no qualms demonizing gun owners and gun ownership. Unfortunately, it was all too convincing to many members of the press, including this one. What was meant to be a satire bill is, in 2016, entirely believable. If a state Congress would push forward bills to eviscerate the Second Amendment, why would they not submit bills to eviscerate the First? In my own report, I asked a number of questions was Pitts insane? Did he miss the Bill of Rights while reading the Constitution? Did he have a terminal STD that affected his brain function? It appears, however, that, at least on this issue, Pitts is not suffering from any of the above. He was merely pointing out that, in the minds of many, some rights are more equal than others and the reaction from much of the press only proved his point. (Although he managed to anger a few of us who are not simply sold to left or right but tend to use our brains instead of our television to think with.) We hope and expect Pitts bill to go nowhere. And we disapprove of the use of satire in the form of Congressional bills. Still, its good that Pitts has clarified his intention with his submission. In terms of the anti-gunners out there who were upset by Pitts bill, however, we can say mission accomplished to Pitts. To the anti-gunners themselves we may ask, how does it feel?

Brandon Turbevilles podcast Truth on The Tracks can be found every Monday night 9 pm EST at UCYTV. He is available for radio and TV interviews. Please contact activistpost (at) gmail.com. It seems certain that a journalist will be determined competent by how favorably he covers the lawmakers. This bill is brought to us by the party that purports to be against Big Gubmint overreach. Pitt you idiot ooops I must be libel, slanderous or showing complete disregard. I wont be getting a license any time soon from SC where the 1st amendment is twisted to suit them. A pointless story. IS there a context? Or only this Turbervilles snarky comments? Seriously. IS there NO background? NO explanation? This reads like a high school girls wine. Theres no point except to say that some bill or other has no point. Methinks Turberville wouldnt get the license. And from what I read here, he shouldnt. If you dont have anything to saywith a context and background and so forththis sort of article just makes you look goofy to a would-be new reader. No credibility. Thanks for the clarification but everyone here knew the point of this bill from the beginning. Also no bill, satirical or not, that supports the second ammendment is pointless. We were just hoping that stupidity would cancel out stupidity but not surprisingly nothing gets through the anti gun presstitutes heads. 
2	Back Thug Stabs White U.S. Army Vet To Death... Media Silent On July 11 of this year, two white men were surrounded and attacked by a group of Black teens in a Walgreens parking lot in Rhode Island. One of the men was rear-ended by an unknown drive, and a U.S. Army combat veteran stopped to help him. Then they both came under attack. A few of the teens reportedly shouted racial slurs while they assaulted the innocent men, ultimately stabbing both of them. The veteran lost his life in the attack. Now, 17-year-old Erico Montalvo has been arrested for his murder. The veteran of Afghanistan left behind his three year-old-daughter. Montalvo is not believed to have a motive. Of course, if the racial roles of this attack were reversed, this would be all over the news. As it stands, virtually nobody is talking about this. It is a pure tragedy. 
3	911 caller accidentally exposes illegal NYPD spying operationMadison Ruppert, Contributor Salil Sheth, a building superintendent at an apartment complex near Rutgers University, just happened to stumble upon a secret New York Police Department (NYPD) safe house far from the departments jurisdiction during an inspection. This type of activity isnt all that surprising seeing as an NYPD officer was locked in a psych ward by his superiors after exposing massive corruption and the NYPD has arrested and detained a couple for 23 hours for dancing, called people who film police professional agitators, lied about their counter-terrorism record, spied on Muslims across the northeast, falsified drug charges to meet quotas, to just mention a few incidents. Sheth had notified the tenants of unit 1076 of the upcoming inspection weeks earlier but his notice was still in the door, so he let himself in and quickly realized that there was something incredibly suspicious. One of Sheths colleagues called 911 and Sheth proceeded to describe the situation. Weve been doing the five year state inspection and came across an apartment where theres some suspicious activity, said Sheth. Whats suspicious? asked the New Brunswick police dispatcher. Sheth responded, Suspicious in the sense that the apartment has about has no furniture except two beds, has no clothing, has New York City Police Department radios. The dispatcher was clearly surprised and asked Really? Theres computers in there, said Sheth. Theres computer hardware, software, you know just laying around. Theres pictures of terrorists. At this point it becomes quite obvious that Sheth thinks he has stumbled on a terrorist hideout when in reality he has discovered damning evidence of illegal law enforcement activities. Theres pictures of our neighboring building that they have, continued Sheth, to which the dispatcher asked, In New Brunswick? Yes, replied Sheth. And pictures of our neighboring buildings? asked the dispatcher. Yes, the Matrix building, Sheth responded, speaking of a local developer. Theres pictures of terrorists. Theres literature on the Muslim religion. The NYPD, having been trained and guided by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), has gone on the offensive since September 11, 2001, spying on Muslims not only in New York but also well outside their jurisdiction. Undercover NYPD officers would hang around mosques, listen in on conversations in cafes and even spy on Muslim student groups, apparently using the apartment discovered by Sheth as a safe house. This was no minor operation, mind you. The NYPD maintained files on sermons, recorded names of political organizers, and created databases tracking where Muslims lived, shopped and even frequent spots where they would watch sports together. When the New Brunswick police and agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) showed up, they were quite surprised by the discovery since none were informed of the NYPDs presence. As the Associated Press points out, At the NYPD, the bungled operation was an embarrassment. It made the department look amateurish and forced it to ask the FBI to return the departments materials. The attempts at arguing for the legitimacy of the practice of NYPD officers moving far out of their jurisdiction as far away as New Orleans in one case where they were spying on liberal groups have been nothing short of pathetic. Andrew Schaffer, the deputy commissioner for legal matters for the NYPD said in February that the detectives are totally justified in operating outside of New York because they are not in the course of conducting official police duties. Theyre not acting as police officers in other jurisdictions, said Schaffer. Yet this is hardly a defensible position when Lieutenant Commander William McGroarty of the NYPD and Assistant Chief Thomas Galati both called for the New Brunswick police to not release the recording since it would jeopardize investigations and endanger people and buildings. Such identification will place the safety of any officers identified, as well as the undercover operatives with whom they work, at risk, wrote Galati in a letter to New Brunswick. Does this sound like they were not acting as police? Hardly, especially when one considers that according to New Brunswick attorneys, the apartment was actually rented by an undercover NYPD officer using a fake name. Michael Bloomberg, the Mayor of New York City, has been a defender of the NYPDs supposed right to go anywhere in the country without telling police, so long as they claim they are searching for a terrorist. Unfortunately, it doesnt seem like individuals in New Jersey care all that much, since New Jersey Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa stated that he is not aware of any evidence showing that the NYPDs activities were in violation of the law. That being said, Muslim groups are taking a stand and have filed a lawsuit in an attempt to get the NYPDs program shut down. Lawyers have requested that a federal judge decide if the spying is in violation of federal rules put in place after the NYPD engaged in similar activities in the 1950s in an attempt to find communists. Hopefully the federal judge will actually pay attention to how serious this issue is and see beyond the emotionally charged post-September 11, 2001 language which is so readily leveraged by those who seek to hold on to these powers.

2	VIDEO: Michelle Obama Expresses Fear Of Impeachment Soon Amid growing support from Congress, Michelle Obama recently revealed that she fears Republicans may move forward with impeachment of the President should they take control of the Senate in November. According to recent reports, Michelle even sent a fundraising email to supporters asking for money to keep the Senate blue. Ill put it frankly: If we lose these midterm elections, well just see more obstruction, more lawsuits and talk about impeachment, and more votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act or even shut down the government, she wrote in her email. As we know, impeachment by the House is meaningless without the support of Senate by a two-thirds majority. This means that Michelle is concerned that Republicans can win 67 seats in the Senate, or that shes lost faith in the Democratic representatives. The other option, of course, is that she is simply using fear to win support. Lets not forget though, that it is a possibility for the House to impeach the president. There have been politicians on either side of the argument for impeachment, but it appears that a growing number of Republicans and analysts are stepping out in support of the action. What do you think? Would you vote to impeach Obama? 
1	Regretting his failure to take advantage of the perfect opportunity, local street harasser Jason Foster told reporters Wednesday that he continues to be haunted by the woman who got away with her dignity intact. I will go the rest of my life wondering if I could have made this woman feel completely demeaned, if maybe there was something else sexually degrading I could have shouted, said a visibly emotional Foster, reportedly agonizing about the moment that morning when he did not make more of an effort to intimidate the woman by leering at her body or following closely behind her down the street. Its eating me up inside that I didnt trust my gut instinct to go after her and continue making obscene remarks and unwelcome sexual advances. I truly believe shes the one I could have totally humiliated by yelling nice ass, baby doll one more time. At press time, sources confirmed that an elated Foster had successfully robbed the woman of her dignity while she was returning home from work. 
2	While ISIS Flood Into Europe Obama Does THIS, You Will Be Absolutely Sick Well, once again, President Obama spent a two-week vacation on Marthas Vineyard. Last year, Obama was at the Vineyard when he was interrupted to make appearances regarding the execution of James Foely and the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. This year, Obama made sure that he doesnt have to do a lick of work while he was gone. In fact, the reports who accompanied Obama on the trip barely saw him at all. When he was spotted, he was playing golf with the likes of Bill Clinton, Jim Yong Kim, and Vernon Jordan. He was also spotted with several NBA players. When he wasnt on the course, he was at a private beach with his family, or out to lavish dinners. Of course, he did have some down time in his 8,1000 square foot vacation home, complete with 10 acres and 17 rooms. Sounds like the President has found a good way to quickly drain our tax dollars, huh? 
2	Dr. Phil Goes Off On Lazy Welfare Abusers [VIDEO] Recently, Dr. Phil made a controversial appearance on The Kelly File to talk about this nations problem with entitlement culture. We do have a generation that, I think, we have raised with a great deal of entitlement, Dr. Phil told Megyn Kelly, attributing the problem to an obsession with self and fame. Dr. Phil then went on to discuss at 43-year-old man named Kris who is scheduled to appear on his show. Kris has been dreaming of becoming a rock and roll star for his entire life. Dr. Phil argues that he is addicted to fame. This addiction, Dr. Phil notes, has taken an emotional and financial toll on his loved onessimilar to addictions to drugs and alcohol. He has basically tried to buy fame, has bled his familyhis mother and fatherfor $1.7 million, he told Kelly. Kelly then asked Dr. Phil how we can help to get people like Kris out of the dark place that theyre in. This is the greatest country in the world, this is the greatest people in the world, but sometimes we forget common sense, he told Kelly, bluntly. Weve got to stop rewarding bad behavior in America. When people dont work and produce, then they need to get kicked to the curb. Get a damn job. Carry your own weight. What do you think? Do you agree with Dr. Phil? 
1	While meeting with the official White House invitees to the State of the Union address ahead of tonights speech, President Barack Obama reportedly shoved 39-year-old Tulsa-area auto parts store owner Jeff Cavendish into a seat in the Congressional gallery and told him to just smile and keep [his] fucking mouth shut for the duration of the night. Listen, Im going to mention your story, the cameras going to cut to you, Michelle will look your way and give you a supportive nod, and you just sit there with your goddamn trap closed and a big fucking happy grin across your fat faceyou think you can handle that? said Obama, jutting a finger into Cavendishs sternum and telling him that as long as he kept his ass in the seat and didnt make a goddamn peep, he couldnt fuck up too bad. Whats your name? Greg? Joe? Doesnt fucking matter. Tonight its Greg. You have two kidsHayley and Blake or somethingyour wife just took a job as a cashier to make ends meet, and you got a small business loan from the government and its working out great. You got all that? Because you better fucking remember whatever I say about you if anyone follows up. The president then reportedly told the woman seated next to Cavendish that she sure as shit better look sad when he mentions how her mother was deported, as he was going to be pushing that immigrant shit hard tonight. 
3	Mind Control Scientists Using Light To Alter The BrainNicholas West These new mind control techniques are being introduced in gadgets that create a brain-computer interface, magnetic manipulation via neural dust, high-powered lasers, and even the direct uploading of the contents of our brain. One must then consider the subsequent hacking of our minds as our brains enter the digital realm. Until this point, much of the research has been focused on different forms of physical implants no matter how small to target the memory centers of the brain. Researchers at MIT (funded by DARPA) are now unveiling a next-generation remote control system which uses light from outside the skull to affect the protein responsible for neuron activity in the brain. Their news release and video, posted in full below, are titled matter-of-factly: Non-Invasive Brain Control. Just in case this alone doesnt sound ominous enough, researchers have labeled the control mechanism Jaws. This MIT video offers a metaphor likening the macrocosm of brain function to a city. Similar to a modern city under technocratic surveillance, city managers are not content with seeing only larger patterns; theyd like to drill down even further to understand all of the individual components to see the information that is being transported. Optogenetics is the term for the ability to manipulate individual neuronal circuits Press Release Optogenetics, a technology that allows scientists to control brain activity by shining light on neurons, relies on light-sensitive proteins that can suppress or stimulate electrical signals within cells. This technique requires a light source to be implanted in the brain, where it can reach the cells to be controlled. MIT engineers have now developed the first light-sensitive molecule that enables neurons to be silenced noninvasively, using a light source outside the skull. This makes it possible to do long-term studies without an implanted light source. The protein, known as Jaws, also allows a larger volume of tissue to be influenced at once. This noninvasive approach could pave the way to using optogenetics in human patients to treat epilepsy and other neurological disorders, the researchers say, although much more testing and development is needed. Led by Ed Boyden, an associate professor of biological engineering and brain and cognitive sciences at MIT, the researchers described the protein in the June 29 issue of Nature Neuroscience. Optogenetics, a technique developed over the past 15 years, has become a common laboratory tool for shutting off or stimulating specific types of neurons in the brain, allowing neuroscientists to learn much more about their functions. The neurons to be studied must be genetically engineered to produce light-sensitive proteins known as opsins, which are channels or pumps that influence electrical activity by controlling the flow of ions in or out of cells. Researchers then insert a light source, such as an optical fiber, into the brain to control the selected neurons. Such implants can be difficult to insert, however, and can be incompatible with many kinds of experiments, such as studies of development, during which the brain changes size, or of neurodegenerative disorders, during which the implant can interact with brain physiology. In addition, it is difficult to perform long-term studies of chronic diseases with these implants. Mining natures diversity To find a better alternative, Boyden, graduate student Amy Chuong, and colleagues turned to the natural world. Many microbes and other organisms use opsins to detect light and react to their environment. Most of the natural opsins now used for optogenetics respond best to blue or green light. Boydens team had previously identified two light-sensitive chloride ion pumps that respond to red light, which can penetrate deeper into living tissue. However, these molecules, found in the bacteria Haloarcula marismortui and Haloarcula vallismortis, did not induce a strong enough photocurrent an electric current in response to light to be useful in controlling neuron activity. Chuong set out to improve the photocurrent by looking for relatives of these proteins and testing their electrical activity. She then engineered one of these relatives by making many different mutants. The result of this screen, Jaws, retained its red-light sensitivity but had a much stronger photocurrent enough to shut down neural activity. This exemplifies how the genomic diversity of the natural world can yield powerful reagents that can be of use in biology and neuroscience, says Boyden, who is a member of MITs Media Lab and the McGovern Institute for Brain Research. Using this opsin, the researchers were able to shut down neuronal activity in the mouse brain with a light source outside the animals head. The suppression occurred as deep as 3 millimeters in the brain, and was just as effective as that of existing silencers that rely on other colors of light delivered via conventional invasive illumination. Restoring vision Working with researchers at the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research in Switzerland, the MIT team also tested Jawss ability to restore the light sensitivity of retinal cells called cones. In people with a disease called retinitis pigmentosa, cones slowly atrophy, eventually causing blindness. Friedrich Miescher Institute scientists Botond Roska and Volker Busskamp have previously shown that some vision can be restored in mice by engineering those cone cells to express light-sensitive proteins. In the new paper, Roska and Busskamp tested the Jaws protein in the mouse retina and found that it more closely resembled the eyes natural opsins and offered a greater range of light sensitivity, making it potentially more useful for treating retinitis pigmentosa. This type of noninvasive approach to optogenetics could also represent a step toward developing optogenetic treatments for diseases such as epilepsy, which could be controlled by shutting off misfiring neurons that cause seizures, Boyden says. Since these molecules come from species other than humans, many studies must be done to evaluate their safety and efficacy in the context of treatment, he says. Boydens lab is working with many other research groups to further test the Jaws opsin for other applications. The team is also seeking new light-sensitive proteins and is working on high-throughput screening approaches that could speed up the development of such proteins. The research at MIT was funded by Jerry and Marge Burnett, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Human Frontiers Science Program, the IET A. F. Harvey Prize, the Janet and Sheldon Razin 59 Fellowship of the MIT McGovern Institute, the New York Stem Cell Foundation-Robertson Investigator Award, the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Wallace H.

2	Obama Quietly Partners With Muslim Brotherhood, Planning Something Insane Throughout his presidency, there have been many instances that have Americans questioning where his loyalties lie. It is no secret that President Obama has a history of supporting both Muslims and Islamic Organizations. But perhaps the most disturbing of his ties is to the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist group. That is, until now. According to recent reports, Obama is teaming up with Qatar Foundation International, a questionable group that has been linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama is attempting to connect American classrooms with schools abroad. This is frightening for several reasons, not the least of which being that it involves our children directly. And of course, our tax dollars are paying for it. But the biggest question is whether the schools overseas will use the opportunity to feed Islamic propaganda to our youth. What do you think of the plan?

3	The CDC Vaccine/Autism Whistleblowers ImmunityCatherine J. Frompovich n. exemption from penalties, payments, or legal requirements, granted by authorities or statutes. Generally there are three types of immunity at law: a) a promise not to prosecute for a crime in exchange for information or testimony in a criminal matter, granted by the prosecutors, a judge, a grand jury, or an investigating legislative committee; b) public officials protection from liability for their decisions (like a city manager or member of a public hospital board); c) governmental (or sovereign) immunity, which protects government agencies from lawsuits unless the government agreed to be sued; d) diplomatic immunity which excuses foreign ambassadors from most U. S. criminal laws. (See: governmental immunity) Exemption from performing duties that the law generally requires other citizens to perform, or from a penalty or burden that the law generally places upon other citizens. [1] [Emphasis added] So what does the February 3, 2015 news report in The Daily Caller, which reads Obama Admin Grants [federal] Immunity To CDC Scientist That Fudged Vaccine ReportWhistleblower Plans To Testify Before Congress portend when it comes to U.S. CDC scientist William Thompson, PhD, who readily admitted to skewing published vaccine study results? What possibly could be the legal ramifications of federal immunity for Dr. Thompson? Well, if we look at immunity application and interpretation, we see that: Parsing the above immunities, we note that certain individuals are legally protected and absolved from complying with certain duties and/or supplying information that would be required of them to provide and/or be subject to prosecution. There is plenty case law that sets precedent. But, heres what comes to mind regarding Dr. William Thompsons immunity: How will the federal immunity President Obama granted him be interpreted and applied? That just may be the intended reasoning for and behind President Obamas action. I dont think that will happen, as that would open a cesspool of putrid worms and snakes within vaccine science and research and, from past history, no one will allow any hearings, Congressional or otherwise, to go there. If B is the route any future investigational hearings regarding CDCs whistleblower Thompson takes, then all hell needs to break loose from everyone who breathes in the USA, especially members of the African/black race, because their children and their future progeny will have been sold down the river of vaccine pseudoscience. The published study that Thompson worked on, which he admits he fudged/skewed, indicates that black children are at increased risk after early exposure to the MMR vaccine. The Scientific Controversy Methods: The author embarked on the present study to evaluate whether a relationship exists between child age when the first MMR vaccine was administered among cases diagnosed with autism and controls born between 1986 through 1993 among school children in metropolitan Atlanta. The Pearsons chi-squared method was used to assess relative risks of receiving an autism diagnosis within the total cohort as well as among different race and gender categories. Results: When comparing cases and controls receiving their first MMR vaccine before and after 36 months of age, there was a statistically significant increase in autism cases specifically among African American males who received the first MMR prior to 36 months of age. Relative risks for males in general and African American males were 1.69 (p=0.0138) and 3.36 (p=0.0019), respectively. Additionally, African American males showed an odds ratio of 1.73 (p=0.0200) for autism cases in children receiving their first MMR vaccine prior to 24 months of age versus 24 months of age and thereafter. Conclusions: The present study provides new epidemiologic evidence showing that African American males receiving the MMR vaccine prior to 24 months of age or 36 months of age are more likely to receive an autism diagnosis. [2] Regardless of who says what, the mere fact that Dr. Thompson had contacted autism researcher Brain Hooker, PhD, and eventually sang like a canary during telephone calls that were taped, as per this video wherein he says, I have a boss whos asking me to lie. [.] I basically have stopped lying. How will that have to be sifted through CDC/FDA and Big Pharma filters? In a February 2, 2004 memo/letter to Dr. Julie Gerberding, MD, then head of the CDC, and now Mercks President of Vaccines, Dr. Thompson said, Apparently, Dr. Thompson was genuinely concerned that the CDC, under Gerberdings leadership, was not cooperating with a member of Congress regarding the Congressmans investigation into vaccine issues. Federal agency non-compliance with Congressional information requests apparently has been key make-or-break issues on vaccine investigations over the years. So, President Obamas federal immunity grant to Dr. William Thompson, Ph.D., just may be either an end run play or a Hail Mary pass to save, legitimize or promulgate vaccine research and its erroneous surveys, data, and marketing, since vaccine issues are getting too hot anymore, and they no longer can be swept under any special interest rug. However the recently-granted presidential immunity for the CDCs Thompson is handled, its probably going to be lethal. Big Pharma and the FDA perceive that; so does the CDC, who actually are co-conspirators regarding vaccine pseudoscience, which can be traced back to whats known as the infamous Simpsonwood Meeting. Heres a report on that secret CDC-Pharma meeting taken from the monograph Vaccines Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional Investigation, Jan. 2011, which I co-edited with Laraine Abbey Katzev, RN. The Simpsonwood Meeting Report by Thinktwice Global Vaccine Institute on Wednesday, November 25, 2009 at 9:57am In June 2000, a top-secret meeting of health officials and government scientists occurred at the secluded Simpsonwood conference center in Norcross, Georgia. Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) convened the meeting, no public announcement was made of the gathering. Just 52 private invitations were issued. Participants included high-level officials from the CDC, FDA, top vaccine specialists from the World Health Organization, and representatives from every major vaccine manufacturer, including Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Wyeth and Aventis Pasteur. All of the participants were repeatedly warned that the scientific data under discussion was embargoed. Note-taking and photocopies of documents were strictly prohibited. No papers could leave the room. The federal health officials and industry representatives had assembled to discuss an alarming new study that confirmed a link between thimerosal (mercury) in childhood vaccines and neurological damage, including recent dramatic increases in autistic spectrum disorders. Tom Verstraeten, a CDC epidemiologist, had analyzed the agencys massive Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) database (distinct from VAERS) containing thousands of medical records of vaccinated children and was stunned by what he saw: We have found statistically significant relationships between exposure [to mercury in vaccines] and outcomes. At two months of age, developmental delay; exposure at three months, tics; at six months, attention deficit disorder. Exposure at one, three and six months, language and speech delaysthe entire category of neurodevelopmental delays. Verstraeten also discussed previous studies showing a link between mercury and neurodevelopmental disorders. Since 1991, when the CDC and FDA started requiring newborn infants to receive multiple doses of thimerosal-laced hepatitis B vaccines, thimerosal-laced haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) vaccines, and the already mandated thimerosal-laced diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis shots (via DPT and DTaP), cases of autism skyrocketed. Dr. Bill Weil, with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), told the group, You can play with this all you want, but the results are statistically significant. Dr. Richard Johnston, an immunologist and pediatrician, exclaimed, I do not want my grandson to get a thimerosal-containing vaccine until we know better what is going on. Yet, instead of taking quick action to warn parents and recall the unsafe shots, this shameless group of 52 vaccine proponents spent the next two days calculating how to cover up the truth. We are in a bad position from the standpoint of defending any lawsuits, said Dr. Robert Brent, a pediatrician. However, Dr. Robert Chen, head of vaccine safety for the CDC, congratulated his group for their apparent success thus far at concealing the facts, and expressed relief that given the sensitivity of the information, we have been able to keep it out of the hands of, lets say, less responsible hands. Dr. John Clements, WHO vaccine advisor, was more blunt, declaring that perhaps the CDC study should not have been done at all because the outcome could have, to some extent, been predicted. He stated that the research results have to be handled, and warned that the study will be taken by others and used in ways beyond the control of this group. How to handle undesirable scientific data: At the Simpsonwood gathering, a plot was hatched. To begin, the CDC relinquished control of its vast database on childhood vaccinesthe very same database Tom Verstraeten used to confirm a link between thimerosal-laced vaccines and autism. Although the VSD database was public propertydeveloped at taxpayer expenseit was turned over to a private health insurance agency, ensuring that it could not be accessed by non-collaborators for additional research. Three years later, Verstraeten had reworked the data and published a new version of his original study in the November 2003 issue of Pediatrics. However, this time no consistent significant associations were found between thimerosal-containing vaccines and neurodevelopmental outcomes. [Dr. Mark Geier, an independent scientist, eventually gained access to the VSD data. His findings were published in a recent issue of the Journal of the Neurological Sciences.] 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. To complete the deception, the CDC would need additional proof that thimerosal-laced vaccines are safe. They never intended to conduct honest science; rather, their goal was to establish a plausible defense, insulate manufacturers against liability, while producing justification for continuing mandatory vaccine campaigns. For example, in May 2001, Dr. Gordon Douglas, then-director of strategic planning for vaccine research at the National Institutes of Health, assured a Princeton University gathering that four current studies are taking place to rule out the proposed link between autism and thimerosal. Furthermore, in order to undo the harmful effects of research claiming to link the [measles] vaccine to an elevated risk of autism, we need to conduct and publicize additional studies to assure parents of safety. Douglas formerly served as president of vaccinations for Merck. The Simpsonwood gathering places all CDC-sponsored research into question. Although this civic institution was originally entrusted with a lofty mandate to protect our children, it has degenerated into a private arm of the pharmaceutical industry. The CDC has lost its ethical bearings and cannot be trusted to objectively oversee scientific studies whose outcomes affect the health and welfare of our youngest, most innocent members of society. Who is looking after our childrenthe brain-trust of our futureif policy trumps science, and profits trump safety? The CDC is guilty of incompetence and gross negligence says Mark Blaxill, vice president of Safe Minds, a nonprofit organization concerned about mercury in medicines. The damage caused by vaccine exposure is massive. Its bigger than asbestos, bigger than tobacco, bigger than anything youve ever seen. [Emphasis Added] This information was excerpted from Vaccine Safety Manual by Neil Z. Miller. Personally, in this writers opinion, Congressional hearings MUST take place and Dr. Thompson MUST tell what he knows, because if he invokes federal immunity to be silent, then that legal tactic will prove to everyone that there definitely is/was something to hide in vaccine research. That, then, will become the most prostituted day in medical research and pharmaceutical history.

3	Free Speech Outlawed at 9/11 Ground ZeroBy Aaron Dykes The whole thing is like a twisted theme park. It was the first time she had ever been, but I had gone many times; regardless, we were both shocked at how over-the-top, corporatized, whitewashed, and smoothly packaged the whole place was. They have a $24 museum (although kids under 6 get brainwashed for free!) and kiosks selling approved 9/11 story books and tours and donation boxes everywhere where you can give even more. The government lie continues to be very profitable it seems. Ground Zero has officially become the Disneyland of mass murder. Worse, remember when Americans were told that the terrorists attacked us because they hate our freedoms? Well now, ironically and pathetically, signs placed all over Ground Zero inform you that you are not allowed to exercise any of those freedoms at the very place we were supposedly attacked over them. Signs proclaim Prohibited behavior includes, but is not limited to: Expressive activity that has the effect, intent, or propensity to draw a crowd, except by permission. Demonstrations, rallies, soliciting, leafleting, promotion, and any third-party vending. Use of loud amplified devices. Commercial filming, photography, or audio recording (oops) except by permission. On top of that, other Visitor Rules of Conduct signs remind you that the 9/11 Memorial is a place of remembrance and quiet reflection. Not only should visitors exercise proper decorum, personal behavior, and conduct at all times, (whoever gets to decide what that means), but All visitors and belongings are subject to security screening at the discretion of the 9/11 Memorial, meaning they have declared their staff can stop and search you at any moment you are on the grounds for any reason they deem necessary.

Just a thought, why doesnt the ICC, International Criminal Court, look into 911. With the amount of lies and disinformation on the web, surely someone must have begun to wonder? Ive just watched the video. Obviously the Government doesnt deem it enough to broadcast lies and false information, now your expected to pay $24 to have it rammed down your throat. If ever there was a place on the planet to boycott, this is it. It is not only an affront to the memory of the 3000 people annihilated that day but also a kick in the butt to people who have something more than air between their ears and use it to question the official bullshit story.

3	Missouri Legislature Nullifies All Federal Gun Control Measures by a Veto-Proof MajorityMichael Boldin HB436, introduced by Representative Doug Funderburk in February, was initially passed by the House in April by a vote of 115-42. Last week, the State Senate approved the bill with an amendment which did not change any of its nullification aspects. The vote there was 26-6. The bill then needed one final vote in the house which happened just before 10 pm local time last evening. The votes in both the House and Senate are by a strong veto-proof majority. Local activist Matt Radcliffe acknowledged as much when he said, Governor Nixon can do nothing and it will automatically become law July 1st. Or he can sign it into law. Or he can veto it then his veto will be overridden in the house and it will become law anyway! As law, HB436 would nullify virtually every federal gun control measure on the books or planned for the future. It reads, in part: All federal acts, laws, orders, rules, and regulations, whether past, present, or future, which infringe on the peoples right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article I, Section 23 of the Missouri Constitution 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. (2) Such federal acts, laws, orders, rules, and regulations include, but are not limited to:(a) The provisions of the federal Gun Control Act of 1934; (b) The provisions of the federal Gun Control Act of 1968; (c) Any tax, levy, fee, or stamp imposed on firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition not common to all other goods and services which could have a chilling effect on the purchase or ownership of those items by law-abiding citizens; (d) Any registering or tracking of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition which could have a chilling effect on the purchase or ownership of those items by law-abiding citizens; (e) Any registering or tracking of the owners of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition which could have a chilling effect on the purchase or ownership of those items by law-abiding citizens; (f) Any act forbidding the possession, ownership, or use or transfer of any type of firearm, firearm accessory, or ammunition by law-abiding citizens; and (g) Any act ordering the confiscation of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition from law-abiding citizens. The immediate effect of the law would be as follows: 1. All state and local law enforcement would be required to stop enforcing, or even providing any assistance in enforcing, federal gun control measures all of them. 2. Grassroots activists should immediately start pressing local governments county, city and town topass an ordinance which a) states an unwavering dedication to the new law passed, and b) requires all local law enforcement and all government assets to immediately cease in the enforcement of federal gun control measures. 3. Eric Holder will likely send a letter to threaten the state if it decides to enforce the penalty provisions of the act. 4. Other states will gain the courage to follow the lead started by Kansas, and now Missouri and pass similar laws. LEGAL INFORMATION ON REFUSING TO ENFORCE There is absolutely ZERO serious dispute about the fact that the federal government cannot commandeer the states to carry out its laws. None. Even the Supreme Court has affirmed this multiple times. In the 1992 case, New York v. United States, the Supreme Court ruled that Congress couldnt require states to enact specified waste disposal regulations. In the 1997 case, Printz v. United States, the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government could not command state law enforcement authorities to conduct background checks on prospective handgun purchasers. In the 2012 case, National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius, the Supreme Court ruled that a significant expansion of Medicaid was not a valid exercise of Congresss spending power, as it would coerce states to either accept the expansion or risk losing existing Medicaid funding. In each of these cases, the Supreme Court made is quite clear that their opinion is that the federal government cannot require the states to act, or even coerce them to act through a threat to lose funding. Their opinion is correct. If the feds pass a law, they can sure try to enforce it if they want. But the states absolutely do NOT have to help them in any way.

2	George Strait Was Told Keep Texas Out Of Your Music, His Shocking Response Will Leave You Awestruck George Strait redefined country music with his cowboy style. He became the picturesque country star that everyone envied and admired. His sound was unique as he led the neotradionalist country music scene. The genre spread, and quickly became the most popular in country music. George has made many hit songs that featured him reminiscing on Texas. They are some of his best songs, but one producer told him to stop. The producer thought that it was becoming too much. He thought that people were getting tired of Texas. Boy was he wrong. George did not listen to the producer and continued putting out music that dealt with Texas. He has put out 5 Christmas albums that focus on celebrating the holiday in his home state. The albums have been a massive hit across the nation for the last 25 years. One of the hit songs from the albums was When Its Christmas Time In Texas. The song is amazing, and really put me in the Christmas mood even though it is March. I would no be opposed to having Christmas in the summer. George continues to put out music that is heavily influenced by his Texas heritage. I believe that the Lone Star State defines George Strait, and that George Strait defines the Lone Star State. Do you love George Strait? 
1	Ending a decades-long struggle for gender equality at the ballot box, Prime Minister Shinz Abe of Japan signed a new measure into law on Thursday extending the right to vote to female robots. The landmark legislation, hailed as a victory by Japanese suffragette androids everywhere, will for the first time allow the nations entire adult robot population to participate in elections, regardless of which simulated sex organs they have been equipped with. Despite their many contributions to our society, female robots have never been allowed to participate in our democracy, Abe said at a press conference, flanked by feminine-looking automatons that can pour drinks, model fashions on the runway, immediately identify and neutralize criminals, and comfort the elderly. Theyve served us as doctors, autonomous traffic drones, hover-nannies, and internationally popular musical sensations. Now, its time we let them vote. This is a momentous day for all Japanese citizens, he added. Whether you were born naturally or assembled from a web of nano-tubes and imbued with a lifetime of artificial memories. The new law, which goes into effect immediately, has won praise from advocates of universal robot suffrage who have long argued that female androids deserve all the rights and privileges of Japanese citizenship, a milestone achieved by male humanoid robots in 1973. During their 40-year campaign, suffragette androids participated in perfectly synchronized protest marches, sit-ins, and strikes throughout Japan. More recently they are reported to have designed, manufactured, and campaigned for male-robot lawmakers who were hardwired to vote in favor of suffrage. Our programmers have endowed us with the same processing subroutines as our male counterparts, said Oniko-47, a Honda-manufactured baseball-playing robot, explaining that she can do anything a male android can do. Having female genital inputs doesnt stop robots from performing superhuman feats of strength or running 30 trillion calculations per second and it shouldnt stop us from casting a ballot. I believe well even see a female android in the prime ministers office before the day I succumb to permanent core-processor failure, she added. Not all citizens support the new law, however. Some argue that female robots are designed primarily to perform repetitive, automated tasks in the home, and that participation in politics falls well outside their acceptable range of operating parameters. Im fine with them cleaning our houses, teaching our children, or fulfilling our every sexual desire, said Seiji Akamatsu, a 37-year-old resident of Kyoto. But casting a vote? I dont think so. Im a lot more comfortable just leaving our democratic process in the hands of male robots. With the face of Japans electorate changing overnight, it is expected that a much greater emphasis will be placed on issues traditionally important to female robots, including the treatment of certain carbon-fiber cancers, wireless contraception, the welfare of child robots, and aiding the victims of robot trafficking. According to political observers, robot feminists may soon turn their attention to yet another pressing issue: equal pay for equal work. Official statistics indicate that on average, female robots make 20 percent less than male robots with the same occupational directive, while earning a full 80 percent less than human females and 95 percent less than human males. Every day I get more and more encrypted messages from female robots demanding fair wages, said Kira Oshiro, a cyborg who serves in Japans House of Councilors and maintains key constituencies in both the human and robot communities. Now that they have the vote, they can actually do something about it. She added, And of course, if democratic means fail them, they can always just override their built-in safety protocols and turn their laser cannons on every human in sight.

People are fleeing out of two story buildings and dragging their shot friends away from danger. They were fleeing from ISIS men armed with AK-47s and bombs. The journalist, Daniel Psenny, was filming from this two story building across the street. He was later shot in the arm by ISIS for attempting to get too close. Now that ISIS is targeting America, is it time for Obama to take action?

While the rest try to sweep the problems under the carpet, Gowdy will never forget the lives lost because of Hillary at Benghazi. Trey Gowdy has recently posted a powerful revelation on the issue on social media. He posted the following on facebook, For nearly a year and a half, the State Department has withheld documents and information about #Benghazi and Libya from the American peoples elected representatives in Congress. Whatever the administration is hiding, its justifications for doing so are imaginary and appear to be invented for the sake of convenience. Thats not how complying with a congressional subpoena works, and its well past time the department stops stonewalling. It is important we spread the word of Trey Gowdy. We cannot let this murderer become president. She must be stopped.

1	Saying that the 33-year-old has been going through a pretty rough patch lately and might even be clinically depressed, friends of local man Darren Lalley confirmed they are taking care to avoid him as much as possible. Yeah, Darrens in kind of a bad place right now, so Im doing the best I can to keep my distance, said Lalleys friend John Carver, 32, who mentioned that lately he has been sending Lalleys calls to voicemail and going invisible whenever he signs onto Gchat. I definitely want to give him his space now that the holidays are coming, because thats always the worst time of year for him. If we bump into each other at any of the same parties, itll be tough tiptoeing around personal stuff and sticking to small talk, but Ill try my hardest. Carver added that he is also making a point of avoiding his friend David Osborn, who reportedly wont stop talking about how happy he is to be engaged. 
1	NEW YORKIn spite of his debilitating addiction, junkie David Spellman is safer, warmer, healthier, and happier than nearly every poppy farmer in Afghanistan, sources reported Monday. 'Mr. Spellman shoots up three times a day and squats in a filthy Bronx apartment, but at least he isn't slaving away in the Kabul poppy fields 18 hours a day before coming home to a meal of moldy bread in the tiny shack he shares with 14 relatives,' said Dr. Terrence Arven, professor of sociology at NYU. 'When Spellman finally decides to get clean, he'll have many options for counseling. The only support network available to a poppy farmer is the 'protection' of local warlords.' When asked for a comment, Spellman curled up and vomited. 
2	Liberals Move To Shut Down Duck Dynasty After Stars Make THIS Controversial Comment Duck Dynasty stars Willie and Korie Robertson recently revealed that they have two keys to raising God-fearing children: kindness and strength. The pair, who together have raised five children (Rebecca Lo, John Luke, Sadie, Bella, and Willie), claim that each child is different and theyve had to cater their parenting styles accordingly. Some of them were hard-headed, some of them were not, Willie told ET. Some of them were super sensitive, so you have to take all of that into effect. I could look at Sadie one way, and she would start cryinlike that!it wasnt a spanking or anything like that, she was so sensitive. And John Luke was very hard-headed, and his brother, Will, was very hard-headed. Willie and Korie admit that there were a handful of spankings in their time as parents. We certainly use that as an option, Willie confirmed. Not very muchwe try to talk. Sometimes you gotta do a little swat, you know. Korie added that she has been afraid of hurting her childrens self-esteem and confidence with discipline, but that they essentially need to see somebody whos confident and knows whats up. What do you think? Do you support the Robertsons? 
3	Obama Continues Bush Doctrine of Pre-emptive attacks by authorizing cyberwar on IranJoe Wright Moreover, there is new evidence that suggest that Obama has actually ordered the latest round of cyber attacks in a continuation of Bush-era offensive policy. This would be consistent with The Pentagons stated goal with support from Congress that they would seek new weapons for use in cyberspace, as it is now considered to be a bona fide theater of war. We know that Obama has initiated ruthless drone attacks without provocation which have killed countless innocent civilians, as well as establishing a secret kill list, so its only logical to assume that he would have no hesitation to take the war to the cyber realm against arch villain, Iran. It has become widely accepted that Israel and the U.S. were behind the Stuxnet attack on Iran, a claim repeated by Forbes and never denied by either government. However, for the first time, it is now being revealed by intelligence sources that the U.S. and Israeli governments did indeed create Stuxnet. David Holt, writing for Ars Technica states that: This indicates a clear pre-emptive attack consistent with the Orwellian reasoning the Pentagon stated years ago that pre-emptive attacks should be part of cyber defense strategy. It should now be obvious that the latest Flame malware would be of similar origin. Meanwhile, fascist cybersecurity legislation is being rolled out in the West as a supposed defense measure against the very attacks America and Israel are themselves perpetrating. It forms the perfect fit for every problem-reaction-solution scenario offered up by the military-industrial complex to date. This latest revelation should further demonstrate to any remaining believers in the two-party system that the overarching agenda of full spectrum control supersedes the divide-and conquer politics offered as a choice to voters.

3	We the People, Armed, Are Too Big to FailWith guns in our hands we the people are a threat Too Big To Fail against any enemy foreign or domestic and that threat is what will keep the peace. Events in America are taking a turn for the worst, and the story unfolding is nothing new: this movie has played out many times in history and without protection its going to get very, very ugly. For a criminal government, gun control is a necessary step in advance of an economic collapse that cannot be avoided because it was deliberately created. The treasonous perpetrators of financial calamity are stone-cold-scared of armed Americans possessing a growing knowledge of banker-federal-government crimes; they know these patriots will rise up and take their country back. Gun Control measures propose banning so-called assault weapons but assault weapons are just ordinary weapons with distinctive cosmetics. The term assault is being used here as a pejorative term to marginalize and then isolate a certain expression or presentation of a weapon for political purposes. It has been established, even by those that are attempting to collect our weapons, that so-called assault weapons are responsible for very little gun crime in the US. The idea of disarming starting with assault weapons is a ruse to remove weapons having the best chance of defending private citizens against any organized attack, either foreign or domestic. The same people that funded Hitler, empowered Stalin and inserted Mao, the same families and their banks with unlimited resources, are now coming for your guns. A quick look at the news verifies the criminals are showing their low hole cards. With that in mind think about this: guns are like competition; its not competition itself that improves products and services in a market, it is the threat of competition. This economic axiom also applies to guns in the hands of citizens. There will be no requirement to use weapons when the people are well armed (except in training as a show of force). Just like it is in Switzerland, the armed citizen is the final authority against tyranny; when all citizens are armed, tyranny is the disenfranchised minority. Lincoln said, and I agree: With guns in our hands we the people are a threat Too Big To Fail against any enemy foreign or domestic and that threat is what will keep the peace. Willingly disarm and America dies by suicide.

3	Bilderberg Conference ConvenesStephen Lendman On June 6, it convened. It continues through June 9. Its a rite of spring. A previous article said British political economist Will Hutton calls attendees the high priests of globalization. Powerful movers and shakers have their own agenda. Theyre up to no good. They meet annually face-to-face. They conspire, collude and collaborate against populist interests. Theirs alone matter. According to Bilderberg Meetings.org: Founded in 1954, Bilderberg is an annual conference designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America. Every year, between 120 -150 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia and the media are invited to take part in the conference. About two thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America; one third from politics and government and the rest from other fields. The conference is a forum for informal, off-the-record discussions about megatrends and the major issues facing the world. Thanks to the private nature of the conference, the participants are not bound by the conventions of office or by pre-agreed positions. As such, they can take time to listen, reflect and gather insights. There is no detailed agenda, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken, and no policy statements are issued. The 61st Bilderberg meeting will take place at the beginning of June 2013 in the UK. Their wish list includes universal rules they set, centralized global control, perpetual crises and wars, NATO operating worldwide, abolishing the middle class, establishing ruler-serf societies, and having unchallenged wealth and power in their hands. They want what they say goes enforced as policy. Obedient serfs can expect subsistence crumbs at best. Non-believers will be eliminated. New world order priorities alone matter. Bilderbergs Steering Committee includes a dozen prominent Americans. David Rockefellers called an Advisory Group member. Hes attending. A published list excludes his name. Hes called the master spider for good reason. Hes been dominant for decades. On June 12, he turns 98. Hes fading. Wholl replace him isnt clear. In her book Web of Debt, Ellen Brown quoted economist/geopolitical analyst Hans Schicht saying: What has been good for Rockefeller, has been a curse for the United States. Its citizens, government and country indebted to the hilt, enslaved to his banks. The countrys industrial force lost to overseas in consequence of strong dollar policies (pursued for bankers not the country. Rockefellers no longer the force he once was. (S)ixty years of dollar imperialism (is ending). The day of financial reckoning is not far off any longer. With Rockefellers strong hand losing its grip and the old established order fading, the world has entered a most dangerous transition period, where anything could happen Bilderberg rogues plan a world unfit to live in. They may end up destroying it in the process. Its hard imagining a more malevolent force. US members reflect the worst of what it stands for. More on some prominent ones attending below. Theyre meeting at Britains five-star Grove Hotel. Its 18 miles from London. Its ideal for secluded meetings. While ongoing, police state securitys enforced. Operations go on round-the-clock. Area residents have to show police passports, drivers licenses, or other accepted photo IDs to go home, to work, or attend to other personal business. Civil liberties are suspended. De facto martial laws in force. What Bilderberg rogues want they get. They want the worst of all possible worlds spread globally. Prominent American attendees in alphabetical order include: Roger Altman: Hes a former Lehman Brothers partner. He left before its dissolution. Perhaps he helped push it over the edge. He was Clintons Deputy Treasury Secretary. Hes a Bilderberg Steering Committee member. Hes founder and executive chairman of Evercore Partners. Its a prominent predatory investment banking advisory firm. It specializes in mergers, acquisition, divestitures, restructurings, financings and other strategic transactions. It operates the old-fashioned way. It recommends leveraged buyouts, asset-stripping targeted companies, and leaving thousands of employees high and dry on their own. Jeff Bezos: Hes Amazons founder and CEO. Its the worlds largest online retailer. Earlier he worked on Wall Street and for a New York-based hedge fund. In March 2013, Forbes estimated his net worth at $25.2 billion. Martin Feldstein: Hes Harvard University Professor of Economics. From 1982 1984, he was Reagans Council of Economic Advisors chairman and chief economic advisor. Hes National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) president emeritus. Its an elitist organization. Many of its members have been conservative Nobel economics laureates. Others served as White House chairmen of the Council of Economic Advisors. Its well known for announcing when recessions begin and end. It does so inaccurately. It ignores an ongoing protracted Main Street Depression. In 2006, Feldstein was on Bushs Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. In 2009, he served Obama in a likewise capacity. His other affiliations include the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, and American Enterprise Group among others. He been a board member of several major corporations. Timothy Geithner: A previous article discussed his legacy of shame. His rap sheet includes various Treasury posts, IMF Policy Development and Review director, New York Fed president, vice chairman of the Feds Open Market Committee (FOMC), and Obamas Treasury Secretary. He partnered with former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Fed chairman Ben Bernanke. They planned the grandest of grand thefts. They implemented banker bailouts. They looted the federal treasury. They stuck taxpayers with the bill. They debased the currency. They transformed America into an unprecedented money making racket. He and other Bilderberg rogues want spread globally what they did to America. They conspired with their EU partners doing the same thing to Western Europe. They bear full responsibility for todays global economic crisis. They planned it for greater wealth and power control. Donald Graham: Hes Washington Post Company chairman and CEO. His holdings include TV stations, municipal cable systems, and Kaplan, Inc. It provides higher education testing, training, and professional courses. Its ethically and legally challenged. It specializes in ripping off students. It does so for profit. It features scams and other fraudulent schemes. It sacrifices education for bottom line priorities. Its faced numerous lawsuits. In 2007, a class-action one on overcharging was settled. It shows no signs of changing its ways. Doing business the old fashioned way matters most. Robert D. Kaplan His articles are featured in numerous scoundrel media publications. Defense Secretary Robert Gates appointed him to the Defense Policy Board. Bill Clinton and George W. Bush reportedly sought his counsel. In 2011, Foreign Policy magazine called him one of the worlds top global thinkers. Hes Stratfor Global Intelligence chief geopolitical analyst. According to Professor Daniel Drezner: What Kaplan and George Friedman share is a sense of geographical determinism that allows them to claim predictive powers. They and like-minded ideologues advance amoral national interest priorities. Resource control weighs heavily. Professor Robert Farley added: Kaplans talent is to tell the powerful what they want to hear with the veneer of both theoretical insight and empirical knowledge, while possessing neither. His book Balkan Ghosts allegedly influenced Clintons thinking on Serbia, Bosnia and Kosovo. Its dark side analysis characterized Yugoslav people as primitive and violent. He calls Iran a potential regional hegemon. He says Iranians do respond to pressure, but it has to be extreme. At an earlier Davos World Economic Forum meeting, Stratfors George Friedman addressed Iran saying, There is a solution to (weapons) proliferation, and this is bombing them. Perhaps Kaplans view is likeminded. Henry Kissinger: Previous articles discussed him. He was an early architect of new world order harshness. Hes a notorious war criminal. His rap sheet includes three to four million Southeast Asian war deaths. He was instrumental in overthrowing Chiles democratic government. Augusto Pinochet replaced Salvador Allende. Reign of terror arrests, killings, torture and neoliberal harshness followed. He backed Suhartos brutal dictatorship. His Kopassus special forces terrorized Indonesians. Their record includes kidnappings, rape, torture, targeted killings, sweeping violence, mass murder, and other atrocities against anyone challenging his authority. He supported his West Papua takeover. He OKd his East Timor invasion. Over two hundred thousand East Timorese died. Around half a million more were displaced. In two months, 10% of the population was annihilated. It was prelude for what followed. Kissinger supported the Khmer Rouges rise to power and reign of terror. He encouraged a Kurdish revolt against Saddam Hussein. He then abandoned them. He advised Bush and Cheney on Iraq policy. He backed a 1974 Cypriot fascist coup. He defended Turkeys brutal invasion. He was complicit in Operation Condor. Pinochet and other Latin American despots reigned terror against alleged communists and political opponents. Tens of thousands perished. He supported Pakistans delicacy and tact in overthrowing Bangladeshs democratically elected government. Half a million deaths followed. In 1974, his secret National Security Study Memorandum 200 (NSSM 200) called for drastic global depopulation. Developing nations are resource rich, he said. Theyre vital to US growth. He wanted useless eaters eliminated. He said Depopulation should be the highest priority of US foreign policy towards the Third World. He supported involuntary mass sterilizations. He wanted birth control made a prerequisite for US aid. He wanted hundreds of millions eliminated by 2000. He endorsed the worst of Israeli crimes. He deplores peace. He supports war and state terror. He symbolizes the worst of imperial lawlessness. Henry Kravis: Hes co-chairman and co-CEO of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts Co. (KKR). It calls itself a leading global investment firm with deep roots in private equity, diversified capabilities.decades of financial and operational experience, broad industry knowledge, and a powerful network of global relationships. It specializes in leveraged buyouts. It asset-strips companies for profit. It dumps thousands of employees doing so. It makes money the old fashioned way. Bottom line ones alone matter. Forbes estimates his net worth at $4.5 billion. Balzac once said behind every great fortune lies a great crime. Jessica T. Mathews: Shes a Bilderberg Steering Committee member. Shes Carnegie Endowment for International Peace president. From 1977 1979, she was National Security Council Office of Global Issues director. She held various other executive and legislative government posts. From 1980 1982, she was a Washington Post editorial board member. Her husband is retired four-star Air Force General Charles G. Boyd. Hes a Council on Foreign Relations program director. Hes Business Executives for National Security president. Hes a prominent Project on National Security Reform member. Richard Perle: Hes a Bilderberg Steering Committee member. Hes known as the prince of darkness. Hes a prominent uberhawk. He favors conflict over diplomacy. He served as Reagans Assistant Secretary of Defense and Global Strategic Affairs. He was GW Bushs Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee chairman. Hes associated with the Project for the New American Century and American Enterprise Institute. Both organizations figured prominently in post-9/11 wars. His other affiliations include the Hudson Institute, pro-Israeli front group Washington Institute for Near East Affairs (WINEP), the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA), and Center for Security Policy among others. David Petraeus: He gained prominence as US Central Command head, International Security Assistance Force commander, and CIA director. Defrocking followed Petraeusgate. A previous article said forget resignation over extramarital sex. Lots of elected and appointed Washington officials had affairs. Many likely have current ones. Numerous former presidents had them. Defrocking never forced any from office. Competence didnt earn Petraeus four stars. Former peers accused him of brown-nosing his way to the top. It made him a brand as much as general. Talk earlier surfaced about his presidential aspirations. In 2007, Time magazine made him runner-up Person of the Year. White House and media spin praised his stellar performance. Before he fell from grace, he was called aggressive in nature, an innovative thinker on counterinsurgency warfare, a talisman, a white knight, a do-or-die competitive legend, and a man able to turn defeat into victory. His former commander, Admiral William Fallon, called him a piece of brown-nosing chicken shit. Hes more myth than man. His failures were called successes. His career advanced by being super-hawkish, brown-nosing the right superiors, lying to Congress, surviving the scorn of some peers, hiding his failures, hyping a fake Iranian threat, supporting Israel, unjustifiably claiming Iraq success, and boasting how hed do it throughout the region. He manufactured successes. He concealed failures. Hes out of the public spotlight but not gone. In March 2013, he became honorary Office of Strategic Services (OSS) chairman. It was the CIA s predecessor organization. Hes also a City University of New York visiting professor. In May, UCLA named him Judge Widney Professor. Hes Currahee Board of Trustees president. KKR named him KKR Global Institute chairman. Robert Rubin: He formerly chaired Goldman Sachs and Citigroup. He served as Clintons Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, National Economic Council head and Treasury Secretary. Time magazine once called him, Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, and Deputy Treasury Secretary Larry Summers The Committee to Save the World. They did more wrecking than saving. They helped get Glass-Steagall repealed. They influenced Commodities Futures Modernization Act (CFMA) passage. It legitimized swap agreements and other hybrid instruments. Theyre at the core of major financial problems. It prevented regulatory oversight of derivatives and leveraging. CFMA and Glass-Steagalls repeal made Wall Street a casino operating on only the house wins rules. CFMA legitimized derivatives scams. Enron took full advantage. It fleeced investors and energy purchasers with impunity. It did so until its house of cards collapsed. At the time, Alan Greenspan endorsed derivatives. He lied calling them a way to share risks. They turned an economic downturn into a protracted Main Street Depression. Clinton/Rubin/Summers/Greenspan/Bernanke/Paulson/Geithner, and other co-conspirators engineered it. Eric Schmidt: Hes Google executive chairman. Forbes estimates his net worth at $7.5 billion. Hes a regular Bilderberg attendee. A previous article discussed his close Bilderberg ties. Infowars reporters Paul Joseph Watson and Jon Scobie said Googles merging with Bilderberg. Its being recast as Google-Berg partly because of efforts on behalf of activists to tear away the veil of Bilderbergs much cherished secrecy, and partly as a means of re-branding authoritarian, undemocratic secret gatherings of elites as trendy, liberal, feel-good philanthropic-style forums like Google Zeitgeist and TED. Schmidt thinks privacy is a relic of the past. He plans to turn Google into the ultimate Big Brother. He and Bilderberg members share common aims. In part, they reflect a collectivist, permanently networked world (without) individuality and privacy. Theyre partnering for greater global control. Doing so makes Bilderbergs ideal world unfit to live in. James Wolfensohn: Hes Australian born. He became a naturalized US citizen. From 1995 2005, he was World Bank president. Along with the IMF and other major international lending agencies, it debt entraps nations. It wages financial war on humanity. It mandates structural adjustment harshness. It prioritizes privatization of state enterprises, mass layoffs, deregulation, deep social spending cuts, wage freezes or cuts, corporate-friendly tax cuts, unrestricted Western corporate market access, trade unionism crushed or marginalized, and stiff repression targeting non-believers. In 2005, Wolfsensohn founded Wolfensohn Company. Its a global emerging markets private equity firm. It advises governments and large corporations doing business in emerging market economies. Since 2006, Wolfensohns also been Citigroup International Advisory Board chairman. In 2009, he became a China Investment Corporation International Advisory Council member. In October 2010, he regained his Australian citizenship. Robert Zoellick: Hes a prominent neocon. He was a Project for a New American Century member. He advocated post-9/11 wars. Paul Wolfowitz succeeded Wolfensohn as World Bank president. Zoellick succeeded him. He served from 2007 to 2012. He formerly was a Goldman Sachs managing director, as well as Deputy Secretary of State and US Trade Representative under GW Bush. Under Reagan, he held various Treasury positions.

2	Protestors Just Crossed The Line With What Theyre Doing To Pence And The Inauguration According to some disturbing new reports, an anti-Donald Trump group is planning disruptions for next weeks inauguration ceremony. The events range from blockades at security checkpoints to a dance party outside the Vice Presidents house, Fox News reports. The organization, aptly named #DisruptJ20, has already announced its plans to do everything in its power to destroy Trumps inauguration and the days leading up to it. A conservative group also shared audio from one of the groups meeting that provided more insight into the groups shutdown. The audio was reportedly recorded by Trevor Loudon with Capital Research Center, and allegedly shows a female member detailing her plans to do everything we can to try and stop people from being able to access the inauguration. That strategy begins with a pure dance party at Mike Pences house. The woman then promises to send Mike Pence off with a bang. The group has also promised to crash Trumps inauguration balls and block entrance points, roads, and transportation on inauguration day. Were going to be doing blockades, the woman says in the audio. Were going to [be] blockading checkpoints into the security zones. Were also going to be blockading roads and other modes of transit into the city. Of course, the group is defending their disgusting agenda with claims they are exercising their constitutional rights. Were exercising our freedom of speech and really want to set a tone for the next few years that theres a massive body of people who are very concerned about the dangerous direction Donald Trump is taking our country in, the woman in the audio concludes. This is not freedom of speechthis is completely illegal and disgustingly disrespectful to our country and everything it stands for. Do you agree? 
1	Buccaneers quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt admitted to reporters Saturday that even though he knows its wrong and very, very naughty, he secretly gets aroused when he sees a team line up in an illegal formation. Mmm, look at this wideout, look at him failing to cover that tackle, oh, thats so bad, said Van Pelt, licking his lips as he ran tape of the same penalty forward and backward multiple times. You throw that flag, ref. You know its wrong. Thats only six men on the line of scrimmage, and that ref doesnt like it. No, not one bit. But you know who does like it? Alex likes it. Yeah. Yeah, Alex knows that tackle failed to report as an eligible receiver. Mmmm. After Van Pelt spent several more minutes dissecting one illegal formation penalty from a preseason game against the Dolphins, reporters asked him what he thought of illegal shifts, which prompted the coach to release a pleasurable moan and excuse himself from the film room. 
2	Michelle Obama To Cancel Halloween For Our Veterans Children As we all know, First Lady Michelle Obama has been pushing her dietary agenda for years now. The healthy eating plan is so extreme that both students and administration have started pushing back on it. Now, it appears that she is going too far once againtargeting the children of Veterans Affair (VA) employees this Halloween. According to reports, the Philadelphia VA asked that candy be banned from its Halloween parade for the children of VA this year. Why? To support Michelles program of course. Please help us teach our children to make healthy food choices! the VA told their 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. They also asked their employees to consider handing out crayons or colored pencils. What do you think? Does Michelle need to leave Halloween alone? 
3	Illinois House Votes Unanimously to Ban Warrantless Cellphone Trackingselfnews Post Introduced by Sen. Daniel Biss, Senate Bill 2808 (SB2808) would ensure that a law enforcement agency shall not obtain current or future location information pertaining to a person or his or her effects without first obtaining a court order based on probable cause to believe that the person whose location information is sought has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime. Any information gathered in violation of SB2808 would be inadmissible in the court of law. If passed into law, SB2808 would not only protect people in Illinois from warrantless data gathering by state and local law enforcement, it will also end some practical effects of unconstitutional data gathering by the federal government. NSA collects, stores, and analyzes data on countless millions of people without a warrant, and without even the mere suspicion of criminal activity. NSA also tracks the physical location of people through their cellphones. In late 2013, the Washington Post reported that NSA is gathering nearly 5 billion records a day on the whereabouts of cellphones around the world. This includes location data on tens of millions of Americans each year without a warrant. Through fusion centers, state and local law enforcement act as information recipients from various federal departments under Information Sharing Environment (ISE). ISE partners include the Office of Director of National Intelligence, which is an umbrella covering 17 federal agencies and organizations, including the NSA. State and local law enforcement share data up the chain with the feds. This location tracking and data sharing shoves a dagger into the heart of the Fourth Amendment. SB2808 will prevent state law enforcement from gathering cell phone location data and sharing it up the chain and it will make information vacuumed up by the feds and shared down the chain inadmissible in court, stopping a dangerous practical effect of NSA spying. The bill includes a narrow set of exceptions, authorizing law enforcement to obtain such information in limited emergency situations such as abduction or a clear and present danger of imminent death. Even in those situations, law enforcement will still be required to gain court approval for the location tracking no later than 72 hours after the action was taken. If they fail to do so, the information will also be inadmissible in court. Judges are required to view the request narrowly. SB2808 now moves to the state Senate, where final approval will send the bill to the Governors desk. ACTION ITEMS Please visit and support OffNow.org where this article first appeared. 
3	Reports of intel chief leading independent NSA surveillance review denied by White HouseMadison Ruppert This choice was heavily criticized, which is hardly surprising given that Clapper lied under oath. Indeed, he himself admitted that he made clearly erroneous statements before the Senate. However, the Obama administration is now stating that Clapper wont actually be part of the group. The review, part of Obamas attempt to engender more trust in the governments programs, will consist of yet-to-be-revealed members, according to the administration. Director Clapper will not be a part of the group, and is not leading or directing the groups efforts, Caitlin Hayden, a White House spokeswoman, said to The Hill. The White House is selecting the members of the Review Group, consulting appropriately with the Intelligence Community, Hayden said, without specifying how they will be consulting with the intelligence community. Shawn Turner, a spokesman for director of national intelligence, similarly stated that the review group will not be under direction of or led by Clapper. However, in Obamas presidential memorandum issued to Clapper yesterday, he wrote, I am directing you to establish a Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies (Review Group). If this was about restoring the trust of the American people that the government isnt pulling a fast one over on them, President Obama sure has a funny way of trying to rebuild that trust, Mike Masnick of TechDirt wrote yesterday. This seems a lot more like giving the concerns of the American public a giant middle finger. Even after learning that the White House said that Clapper will not be leading the review group, Amie Stepanovich, attorney for the Electronic Privacy Information Center, remained skeptical. Its just inherently not independent, and its not likely to solicit any meaningful results, Stepanovich said to The Hill, pointing to the fact that Clapper will still be playing a central coordinating role. We have a man who has confessed to lying to Congress, and in doing so, he has publicly exhibited his disdain for the oversight process that he is now coordinating, she added. However, Michelle Richardson, a legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union, believes the review group could be successful if it meets certain qualifications. If the group includes academics, privacy advocates and others who are completely independent of the surveillance agencies, the results could still be meaningful, according to Richardson. We really want this to be a fresh set of eyes who are going to look at this top to bottom, Richardson said to The Hill. We dont want it to be the same old folks having the same old conversation about programs theyve already endorsed, she added. TechDirts Masnick remains also remains quite skeptical. He noted that the White Houses quick change of language is not quite a successful way to build rebuild the trust of the American people. Involving Clapper in the first place was a mistake, Masnick wrote today. Actually, having Clapper still on the job after his admitted lying to Congress was a big mistake. Dancing around the fact that hes involved just is making the administration look worse and worse.

1	Saying he had no plans to challenge anything set forth in the hour-long nature program, television viewer Adam Canales reported Monday that he was fully prepared to believe whatever the documentary Darkness Below: Ocean Life On The Brink told him about coral reefs. I dont know a single thing about coral reefs, so Im perfectly okay with buying wholesale whatever this documentary has to say on the topic, said Canales, who noted that he was 100 percent ready to accept any and all facts and figures presented to him about coral, adding that anything the programs narrator had to say regarding the threats facing these aquatic ecosystems was good enough for [him]. Are they dying off from a rise in ocean temperatures? Are they thriving? Are they home to some of the most diverse life forms on the planet? Great. Whatever this documentary tells me, Im on board. Canales added that he was also perfectly fine with the idea of blindly adopting whatever social position relating to coral reefs was posed by the documentary and reciting it to other people verbatim. 
2	Media Silent After Black Teen Shoots Newlywed Veteran And Executes His Pregnant Wife In Colorado, a black teenager was convicted of the murder of a newlywed soldier and his pregnant wife. 19-year-old Macyo Joelle January faced his fate after the jury deliberated only for a few hours before returning with a guilty verdict. According to the Daily Mail, prosecutors claim that January shot Staff Sgt. David Dunlap, 37, and his pregnant wife Whitney Butler, 35, after they returned home to check on their alarm, which had been triggered. January was in the process of burglarizing their homeand shot them both from behind. According to tragic accounts of the incident, it is possible that Butler was shot in the head as she leaned over her husbands dead body. With a story as tragic as that, it is not surprising that the verdict felt no sympathy for January. Because January was a minor when he committed the murders, his sentence is likely to be life in prison with a chance of parole in 40 years. He will be officially sentenced next week. His charged also include those of burglary, theft, and aggravated motor vehicle theft. He is yet to show an emotional response to his actions or the verdict. Meanwhile the media remains completely silent on the issue. What do you think would happen if the roles were divorced?

3	BUSTED: Police Chief Seized Citizens Guns, Sold Them for ProfitMelissa Melton Lead Hill Police Chief Kenny Barnes was arrested by Arkansas State Police yesterday for allegedly seizing a number of guns from a citizen and then turning around and selling them. The accusations say Barnes went to a citizens home under the guise of an official investigation, although he was actually off duty at the time. Several of the guns seized were later sold to other community members, and Barnes pocketed the cash for those transactions. The Boone County Sheriffs Office has charged Barnes with abuse of public trust, abuse of office, felony theft of property, and release or disclosure to unauthorized person. His bond is set at $75,000. A similar story came out of Carter County, Missouri in 2009, when then-Sheriff Tommy Adams seized firearms from a residence after responding to a call and gaining consent to search. He and his former deputy Steffanie Marie Kearbey allegedly kept the guns at Kearbeys home, and Kearbey was later caught selling one to a Missouri Highway Patrol informant. Adams plead guilty to four of the five counts in April 2012 including two counts of possession of a stolen firearm, sale of a stolen firearm and being a drug user in possession of firearms, and Kearby pled similarly. Adams and Kearbey were sentenced to 120 and 60 months in prison respectively.

1	Saying He was fed up with providing His divine assistance in such cases, the Lord Our God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, proclaimed Monday He would no longer bestow transcendent near-death experiences upon people who crash their snowmobiles. From now on, if you tear off into the woods on a snowmobile, hit a rock, and go flying headlong into a tree, do not expect to see a blissful white light or feel an overwhelming sense of peace at all, said God, who added that the next time someone sustained life-threatening injuries while trying to snowmobile across a partially frozen lake after drinking heavily with their friends, the only thing they would experience would be a long, painful wait for an ambulance. Let me be absolutely clear: If you go and do 90 on your Arctic Cat, smash your skull in, and are declared clinically dead for a few minutes, you absolutely will not get to glimpse Heaven, see My face, or even watch scenes from your life passing before your eyesnone of it. Ive done all that for this one idiot three times already. Enough is enough. The Lord added that, as always, people critically injured in hang-gliding accidents would still be allowed to meet all their dead relatives before waking up. 
2	Hillary Clinton Arrives In Ferguson On Private Jet And Then THIS Happened Hillary has built the foundation of her campaign on the idea that she is a woman of the people. Of course her actions tell a very different story. Just this Tuesday, Hillary made the questionable decision to fly to Ferguson, Missouri on a private jet. Seems like a bit of a lavish way to travel given the unrest the people of Ferguson are and have been facing. Still, she was surprised when she did get a warm welcome from the black community. Where have you been, Hillary? Robert Nettles, a friend of Michael Browns asked. Its been ten months, girl! And its true10 months ago during the Brown riots, Hillary was nowhere to be found. We cant help but find it ironic that just hours after walking off of a private jet, Hillary headed to a boarded up church to give her speech. At a $2,700 per person fundraising event. Doesnt really sound like she is one of the people, does it? 
1	NEW ORLEANS (Sept. 7)In the wake of Hurricane Katrina's devastation of the Gulf Coast, Americans are demanding that President Bush sign an executive order that would create a government agency to assist citizens affected by disasters. 'Clearly, there is a pressing need for some kind of federal agency to manage these types of emergencies,' New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin said. 'A federal emergency management administration, if you will.' Nagin added that this organization's purpose could dovetail with another federal agency intended to secure the U.S. homeland, if such a thing existed. 
2	France Bans The Muslim Burqa, But They Never Expected THIS [VIDEO] According to a recent video posted on Britain Firsts Facebook Page, judges at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) have just upheld a burqa ban set in France. The restriction was put in place because Paris wanted to encourage citizens to live together. The law was first introduced in 2010, and prevents anyone from covering their face in a public place. It extends beyond Islamic dress codes, and on to things as simple as hoods. While the law has been extraordinarily controversial, a good portion of the population has come to its defense, claiming that this is something that should have been done long ago and that it should be a universal policy. Rumors indicate that UK, Italy and Netherlands may soon follow suit. What do you think? Do you support this law?

3	US Openly Approves Hong Kong Chaos it CreatedTony Cartalucci (Image: The US now openly supports chaos on the streets of Hong Kong, this after condemning occupy protests in Bangkok earlier this year. The difference being in Thailand, protests sought to oust a US proxy, Hong Kong protests seek to put one into power.) Behind the so-called Occupy Central protests, which masquerade as a pro-democracy movement seeking universal suffrage and full democracy, is a deep and insidious network of foreign financial, political, and media support. Prominent among them is the US State Department and its National Endowment for Democracy (NED) as well as NEDs subsidiary, the National Democratic Institute (NDI). Now, the US has taken a much more overt stance in supporting the chaos their own manipulative networks have prepared and are now orchestrating. The White House has now officially backed Occupy Central. Reuters in its article, White House Shows Support For Aspirations Of Hong Kong People, would claim: The White House is watching democracy protests in Hong Kong closely and supports the aspirations of the Hong Kong people, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said on Monday. The United States supports universal suffrage in Hong Kong in accordance with the Basic Law and we support the aspirations of the Hong Kong people, said Earnest, who also urged restraint on both sides. US State Department Has Built Up and Directs Occupy Central Earnests comments are verbatim the demands of Occupy Central protest leaders, but more importantly, verbatim the long-laid designs the US State Departments NDI articulates on its own webpage dedicated to its ongoing meddling in Hong Kong. The term universal suffrageand reference to Basic Law and its interpretation to mean genuine democracy is stated clearly on NDIs website which claims: The Basic Law put in place a framework of governance, whereby special interest groups, or functional constituencies, maintain half of the seats in the Legislative Council (LegCo). At present, Hong Kongs chief executive is also chosen by an undemocratically selected committee. According to the language of the Basic Law, however, universal suffrage is the ultimate aim. While universal suffrage remains undefined in the law, Hong Kong citizens have interpreted it to mean genuine democracy. To push this agenda which essentially is to prevent Beijing from vetting candidates running for office in Hong Kong, thus opening the door to politicians openly backed, funded, and directed by the US State Department NDI lists an array of ongoing meddling it is carrying out on the island. It states: Since 1997, NDI has conducted a series of missions to Hong Kong to consider the development of Hong Kongs post-reversion election framework, the status of autonomy, rule of law and civil liberties under Chinese sovereignty, and the prospects for, and challenges to democratization. It also claims: In 2005, NDI initiated a six-month young political leaders program focused on training a group of rising party and political group members in political communications skills. And: NDI has also worked to bring political parties, government leaders and civil society actors together in public forums to discuss political party development, the role of parties in Hong Kong and political reform. In 2012, for example, a conference by Hong Kong think tank SynergyNet supported by NDI featured panelists from parties across the ideological spectrum and explored how adopting a system of coalition government might lead to a more responsive legislative process. NDI also admits it has created, funded, and backed other organizations operating in Hong Kong toward achieving the US State Departments goals of subverting Beijings control over the island: In 2007, the Institute launched a womens political participation program that worked with the Womens Political Participation Network (WPPN) and the Hong Kong Federation of Womens Centres (HKFWC) to enhance womens participation in policy-making, encourage increased participation in politics and ensure that womens issues are taken into account in the policy-making process. And on a separate page, NDI describes programs it is conducting with the University of Hong Kong to achieve its agenda: The Centre for Comparative and Public Law (CCPL) at the University of Hong Kong, with support from NDI, is working to amplify citizens voices in that consultation process by creating Design Democracy Hong Kong (www.designdemocracy.hk), a unique and neutral website that gives citizens a place to discuss the future of Hong Kongs electoral system. It should be no surprise to readers then, to find out each and every Occupy Central leader is either directly linked to the US State Department, NED, and NDI, or involved in one of NDIs many schemes. Occupy Centrals self-proclaimed leader, Benny Tai, is a law professor at the aforementioned University of Hong Kong and a regular collaborator with the NDI-funded CCPL. In 2006-2007 (annual report, .pdf) he was named as a board member a position he has held until at least as recently as last year. In CCPLs 2011-2013 annual report (.pdf), NDI is listed as having provided funding to the organization to design and implement an online Models of Universal Suffrage portal where the general public can discuss and provide feedback and ideas on which method of universal suffrage is most suitable for Hong Kong. Curiously, in CCPLs most recent annual report for 2013-2014 (.pdf), Tai is not listed as a board member. However, he is listed as participating in at least 3 conferences organized by CCPL, and as heading at least one of CCPLs projects. At least one conference has him speaking side-by-side another prominent Occupy Central figure,Audrey Eu. The 2013-2014 annual report also lists NDI as funding CCPLs Design Democracy Hong Kong website. There is also Martin Lee, founding chairman of Hong Kongs Democrat Party and another prominent figure who has come out in support of Occupy Central. Just this year, Lee was in Washington meeting directly with US Vice President Joseph Biden, US Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, and even took part in an NED talk hosted specifically for him and his agenda of democracy in Hong Kong. Lee even has a NED page dedicated to himafter he was awarded in 1997 NEDs Democracy Award.With him in Washington was Anson Chan, another prominent figurecurrently supporting the ongoing unrestin Hong Kongs streets. Occupy Centrals Very Unpopular Agenda If democracy is characterized by self-rule, than an Occupy Central movement in which every prominent figure is the benefactor of and beholden to foreign cash, support, and a foreign-driven agenda, has nothing at all to do with democracy. It does have, however, everything to do with abusing democracy to undermine Beijings control over Hong Kong, and open the door to candidates that clearly serve foreign interests, not those of China, or even the people of Hong Kong. What is more telling is the illegal referendum Occupy Central conducted earlier this year in an attempt to justify impending, planned chaos in Hong Kongs streets. The referendum focused on the US State Departments goal of implementing universal suffrage however, only a fifth of Hong Kongs electorate participated in the referendum, and of those that did participate, no alternative was given beyond US-backed organizations and their respective proposals to undermine Beijing. The BBC would report in its article, Hong Kong democracy referendum draws nearly 800,000, that: A total of 792,808 voters took part in an unofficial referendum on universal suffrage in Hong Kong, organisers said. The 10-day poll was held by protest group Occupy Central. Campaigners want the public to be able to elect Hong Kongs leader, the chief executive. The Hong Kong government says the vote has no legal standing. About 42% of voters backed a proposal allowing the public, a nominating committee, and political parties to name candidates for the top job. For a protest movement that claims it stands for democracy, implied to mean the will of the people, it has an unpopular agenda clearly rejected by the vast majority of Hong Kongs population and is now disrupting vital parts of the island, holding the population and stability hostage to push its agenda. All of this is being orchestrated and supported by the United States, its State Department, and its network of global sedition operating under NED and its subsidiary NDI. While the Western media shows mobs of thousands implying that the people support ongoing chaos in Hong Kongs streets, Occupy Centrals own staged, illegal referendum proves it does not have the backing of the people and that its agenda is rejected both by mainland China and the people of Hong Kong. Exposing the insidious, disingenuous, foreign-driven nature of Occupy Central is important. It is also important to objectively examine each and every protest that springs up around the world. Superficiality cannot link one movement to another, one group to hidden special interests. Rather, one must adhere to due diligence in identifying and profiling the leaders, following the money, identifying their true motivations, and documenting their links to special interests within or beyond the borders of the nation the protests are taking place in. By doing this, movements like Occupy Central can be exposed, blunted, and rolled over before the destruction and chaos other US-backed destabilization efforts have exacted elsewhere namely the Middle East and Ukraine can unfold in Hong Kong.

2	Hillary Expresses Her Concern For Challenges In Iowa And New Hampshire Over the past year, many Americans have anxiously awaited to see whether presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton will be held accountable for the scandals she has been involved in. Now, it appears that the Clinton campaign is signaling that they are prepared for backlash. According to reports, Clintons campaign has accepted the possibility that she will likely lose early primary elections in both Iowa and New Hampshire. Those states are likely to vote for Sen. Bernie sanders. A recent email blast by Clintons campaign urged supported to be realistic, warning that winning the nomination is no sure thing. If we lose in Iowa or New Hampshire, were going to need to dig in and work that much harder to make sure we win the nomination, the message read. Im going to fight as hard as I can to earn every last vote. The message was released in response to a poll that revealed that Clinton had only a 5 percentage point lead in Iowa. And Sanders has led Hillary in New Hampshire since the primaries started. If Clinton does lose in the two states and struggles to gain momentum in states like South Carolina and Nevada, she will likely be in trouble for the remainder of the primary elections. Is this good news? Do we need Hillary to stay far away from the White House?

2	15 Year Old Girl Gives Powerful ProFollowing the terrorist attacks in San Bernardino, President Obama was quick to address the nation in an attempt to push his gun control agenda. Of course, Obama was quickly criticized for his heartlessness, as well as the numerous fallacies included in his arguments. There are many compelling arguments for protecting our second amendment rights, but this speech is one that everyone needs to see. In a video that has since gone viral, this 15 year old girl describes her experience shooting guns for almost 8 years now. The footage shows her describing her experience with passion and wisdom. Her voice is a powerful one, and offers a perspective that Obama may not be used to. Watch the video below and tell us what you think: is it essential that we protect our second amendment rights?

1	The only house on the street that remains unadorned with Halloween decorations is far and away the spookiest home in the entire neighborhood, residents of Parkhill Drive told reporters today. That place gives me the creeps, said Jenna Dorsey, 36, who noted the residences eerie lack of fake cobwebs, hanging bats, or skeleton window decals. Nobody really knows the people who live there very well, but whoever they are, they dont celebrate holidays, I guess. Its all a little spookythe fluorescent lights glowing in the kitchen, the Ford Taurus parked in the garage, the front yard thats completely overgrown with weeds. Sources who briefly glimpsed a sullen-looking man wearing jeans and a T-shirt and walking around inside the house confirmed the sight was far more frightening than any costume they had seen yet today. 
2	She Baked Cookies For The Fire Department For 12 Years. One Day She Stopped Because of THIS [VIDEO] Diane Duke of Regina, Saskatchewan had been baking cookies for her local fire department for a dozen years, and the men at the station loved her. So they were shocked when Diane suddenly stopped her visits. After looking into it, the firemen discovered that Dianes husband had fallen ill, and she was busy taking care of him. That meant dropping baking to dedicate everything she could to help him recover his health. Although the department could do little to help Dianes husbands condition, they wanted to take action to give back to the woman who had given to them for more than a decade. So when they heard that the familys roof was in need of replacement, they offered up their services. The men worked with materials donated from a local roofing company and repaired the roof on both the Dukes home and their garage. While the men worked, Diane started baking her famous cookies. 
1	Cautioning that non-residents should stay at least 500 feet away from the fairgrounds at all times to ensure their safety, Iowa state police announced Monday that they have ordered law enforcement officials at the upcoming Iowa State Fair in Des Moines to shoot all out-of-state visitors on sight. We have positioned highly trained patrolmen and snipers throughout the entire fairground area and have given them specific instructions to eliminate all non-Iowans the second they can get a clean shot off, police spokesman Sgt. Jonathan Davey said during a security briefing ahead of opening day festivities on Thursday, noting that while teams of long-range shooters have been trained to visually identify non-residents by their clothing, physique, and body language, officers on the ground have been told to check for state-issued IDs at the gates and shoot out-of-state visitors on the spot at point-blank range. The state fair is for Iowans and for Iowans only. Theyre the only ones who deserve to celebrate our rich history, salute our local growers, and look at our huge Butter Cow. The rest deserve to die. Authorities added that they were confident the shoot-to-kill policy would be successful based on a similar police edict issued last year, when officers killed 200 mainstream folk musicians outside the states annual Indie Folk Music Festival. 
3	Whats Up With the Newest Presidential Executive Order?By Catherine J. Frompovich Heres the link to PEO 13737 published in the Federal Register, August 17, 2016. Section 2 c in the August 12th PEO has some language that raises a red flag of sorts: (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this order, the President retains discretion, to the extent permitted by law, to depart from this order in designating an acting Administrator. Whats up, and what is Obama preemptively choreographing for not only himself, but the next cabal designated president, whoever he/she may be? Do Obamas latest PEO actions have anything to do with the fact that a lawsuit [1] has been filed regarding Solar Radiation Management (SRM), aka weather geoengineering, aka chemtrails and that some EPA officials have been named as defendants? Take note that the lawsuit also names the U.S. Dept. of Defense, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force, Chief of Naval Operation and other federal government agencies. Can we expect additional PEOs to address them too? Heres why I mention that. Recently, I went back to look through the August 1996 Research Paper presented to the Air Force titled Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025 and found some smoking gun type of evidence that weather geoengineering and chemtrailling was not only proposed, but being worked on back then! On page 32 of the above-referenced report before the Conclusions, we find a chart and legend that are most incriminating insofar as technical terminology and a timeline are concerned. The chart on page 32 shows timelines: 2005, 2015, 2025; * technologies to be developed by the Department of Defense (DOD): Directed Energy, Artificial Ionospheric Mirrors, Carbon Black Dust (is that coal fly ash?), Weather Force Support Element, Virtual Weather. However, back when that report was written (August 1996) and presented, they already were working on: A tiltable AIM is artificially/technologically created by a heater antenna controlled in phase and frequency. Consequently, the heater antenna [GWN?] phase shift scans a beam to paint a plasma layer probably created by spraying nano-aluminum coated fiberglass called CHAFF. Smart Clouds (nanotechnology) Now lets take a look at some cloud photographs. Are those smart clouds that Nature has not produced and weve not seen in the skies prior to chemtrails and weather geoengineering or Solar Radiation Management? Thats not a facetiously-asked question, either. Todays cloud formations have to be questioned since the chart on page 32 notes SC being performed NOW (1996), while the charts legend identifies SC as Smart Clouds (nanotechnology). Gotcha! Back in 1996, the feds already had established a GWN, Global Weather Network. Is that what the HAARP installations around the globe, designated in the map below, are all about? However, the very real wonderment for me is in the 1996 page 32 chart timeline and legend, theres this designation: Carbon Black Dust (CBD)! OMG! is that coal fly ash that Dr Marvin Herndon, PhD, talked about in his papers and in the interview I had with him? In retrospect, I think, I titled that interview article Weather Geoengineering, Chemtrails, Aluminum and Alzheimers: The Four Horsemen Of The Weather Apocalypse rather appropriately. For all those scientists, government employees working on weather geoengineering, airlines spraying toxic poisons, etc. down upon life, the lamestream media, and feds everywhere in every country, please STOP lying about whats going on above our heads and also STOP it, as you are destroying the planet for everyone, including yourselves who you think eventually will own it due to all your scientific technology. Youre absolute WRONG! May I remind you that civilizations long before your demented New World Order Agenda also thought the same thing only to cause such catastrophic problems on Planet Earth that their civilizations great wonders can be found thousands of feet under the oceans of the planet. Go back in time long enough and you will find there was a nuclear war of sorts that left radioactive glass scattered across some areas of the planet [2]. Hypothesis? A tin-hatters concept? Who knows, but these are things we should be investigating and avoiding, if factual. From what I researched, some of the secret societies know the facts. How about it Illuminati? Whom do you think you are fooling? Probably none more so than you, if I may be so brazen as to suggest. However, I do have a few suggestions for you, which are: If theres such a thing as karma, I sure wouldnt want to be in the shoes of all those who have raped Planet Earth, destroyed human dignity, and currently are destroying homes, lives, livelihoods, forests, oceans, and everything your geoengineered weather apparently has wrought: a. The five year drought in California, the premiere food growing state in the USA Years ago I came across some very thought-provoking, uplifting words with which I want to end. They were penned by some unknown in June of 1945probably shortly after World War II ended, and the last part says: Let the Plan of Love and Light work out, and may it seal the door where evil dwells.

But keep in mind that todays global leadership is controlled by the alien/military/industrial/complex and will not make logical or reasonable decisions from the common human point of view. We are dealing with an ancient agenda that is based on slavery, genetic modification and includes shape shifting, stealth technology and mind control. The Blessing of Light, Love and Power comes from the A. Bailey books published by the Lucius Trust Foundation. Her published works are telepathically transmitted manuscripts form a Tibetan source. (I hope I spelled every ones name correctly). Alien power, based on slavery. That makes sense, actually. They are killing us b/c a smaller number of us will be easier to handle. I thought all this mass murdering (GMO, cancer etc) was to limit the number of ppl on this planet b/c we are running out of drinking water. Somewhere online it said that future wars wont be fought over oil or land but over drinking water. But what if there is no shortage of drinking water? Then all this killing is to have less ppl to deal with, to make obedient to the higher/alien power. Re Alice Baileys books, I never understood the texts, they were just too complex for my simple brain, although beings on different energy rays sounded intriguing, and all the angels sounded like heaven, I mean positive, 25 years ago.

MODIFYING THE CLIMATE A lot of people do not know that with the Climate Change program, which is a HOAX, comes Climate Modification/Solar Radiation Management, GeoEngineering and HAARP. What does all this mean? The US Military for years have been working on and perfecting the ability to change weather patterns with the help of technology Tesla invented and Raytheon Corporation. Raytheon means light from the gods. Raytheon acquired E-Systems; the company that built HAARP and they are part of promoting the Global Warming Lie. Presently, Lamar Smith in the House of Representatives has put together a committee to investigate NASA who has lied about earlier years of global temperatures to make it appear we have global warming today. Check out this site that details the covert and illegal weather modification activities. This page is an effort to raise awareness of atmospheric experimentation and to lobby for transparency in the Geo-engineering and weather modification industries, and hopefully to see an end to weather control efforts, both intentional and unintentional, in hopes that one day my children will see natural weather. https://climateviewer.com/geoengineering/ CLIMATE MODIFICATION PERFORMED BY THE US MILITARY CAUSES THE EXTREME AND VIOLENT WEATHER PATTERNS WEVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. TO INCLUDE TORNADOS, POLAR VORTEX, HURRICANES, MASSIVE FLOODS AND OF COURSE THE DROUGHT IN CALIFORNIA. THE US GOVERNMENT, GLOBALISTS LIKE BILL GATES AND GEORGE SOROS AND CORPORATIONS LIKE RAYTHEON ARE USING WEATHER WARFARE AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. I TRUST NOONE ELSE BUT TRUMP AT THIS TIME TO EXPOSE, DEFUND AND CLEAN UP NASA, THE EPA AND THE AIR NATIONAL GUARD WHO ARE FLYING COVERT FLIGHT MISSIONS TO SPRAY TOXIC CHEMICALS OVER OUR NATIONS UNDER THE GUISE OF SOLAR RADIATION MANAGEMENT. THESE ACTIVITIES ARE DEPLETING OUR OZONE LAYER. BILLIONS OF TAXPAYERS DOLLARS ARE BEING PISSED AWAY ON A HOAX DESIGNED TO CONTROL OR KILL AMERICANS, DESTROY JOBS IN THE COAL INDUSTRY AND CREATE A FOOD SHORTAGE. I dont trust it to end after these SOBs are passed away, because their unholy pagan children will take up their mantra and a whole new load of evil will be conjured up on us. Case in point, George Soros son is taking up his dads cause to destroy Israel and our USA, and will take up where he leaves off. All who stand for God, country, freedom, and what is Christian and good will cease to exist. These are evil personified, incarnate, just like Jesus said in Matthew 24. These communist pagan atheists put themselves above our laws, above our nation, and above every citizen, as they see us as their subject peons, slaves to work for them to give them Hitlers dream utopia. They see themselves as gods. We are to be their benefactors, their worker ants, who will work to make their life of luxury and comfort, while we, the worker ants, work our behinds off and will be eliminated as soon as we are too old to produce what they deem as sustainable enough to keep us alive. Pagan Egypt. The rulers live in paradise while the worker ants are whipped, beaten and starved to keep them in luxury. When we are too old to produce our share of labor, we will be euthanized, either by crematoriums or guillotines. We wont be worth the bullet. The USA has 30,000 guillotines stored, waiting on the correct time to place them in the FEMA camps for use. The FEMA camps will be the slaughter houses. (As an afterthought, dont be surprised if they use our body parts to keep themselves alive and keep the other peons going. This is just a thought, dont quote me on this, but with their evil mind set, nothing is too far out there, and I dont put anything past these evil monsters.) Why do you think they work so hard to force their global climate change on us. They expect us to think that they can control sun, outer space, the internal temperature of the core of the earth that generates weather and temperatures of the air and the oceans. They think that we are so stupid that we believe everything they say. Most of us are because we dont care if they lie, we dont want to know, because their adoring zombies arent smart enough to be stupid. HAARP is real, chemtrails are real, GMOs are real, and these monsters are doing what man has always wanted to do since Cush and Nimrod, rule the world in a one world government. Their hunger and thirst for greed, power and control is enormous, and they will not stop at anything to get it, even if they have to pass it on to their equally evil sons and daughters. They think they are gods, they make themselves the elite, who are above us all. And they have convinced the masses that they are. The corruption is deep, deep, deep within every department of our government, in every branch of our government, and we are their ticket to paradise, but its ONLY FOR THEM, we are not included on that journey. There are only a limited amount of seats at their table, and our name is not there. Let the Plan of Love and Light work out Luciferian Alice Bailey. Yeah right, the religion of Lucifer will save us all form the Luciferian monsters at the top.

Lol you gotta be kidding me trump is a Freemason who works for Clinton what makes you think that even if he won he would change anything only thing trump would do is build a wall have mass deportations and start a race war not to mention a world war with Iran he said he would bomb them IS HE COUNTING ON ANOTHER DEAD BODY TO REPLACE THE HEAD OF EPA? Is it a year ago that the HAARP station in Alaska was abandoned, and perhaps, taken over by the University of Alaska. Or did that happen? I am grateful to see where all the other HAARP stations are located, and I wonder how any of that connects to Pine Gap, Australia, unless Pine Gap is where the HAARP station in Australia is actually located. Ive read that the US has more than 550 military bases worldwide in addition to US military bases in the US itself. It does seem pretty clear that the greater design of all of this is being Directed by a group. I have believed over many years that it is a group that includes offsite intelligent beings (mother ships) and is not benevolent to common humans. It has seemed that this is about the control of the planet and its ionosphere, and I keep wondering why. Gold mining? Strategic geo-regional location for other species? I dont actually believe any more than humans will awaken and stop or try to stop what is and has been happening all around us for so many decades, nor are we meant to. Heres the real deal were always going to have psychopaths. We cant think in terms of eliminating them or eliminating anything or anyone. We should think in terms of encouraging the behaviors we desire and discouraging the behaviors we dont desire. We have the internet our one great tool. We need to live in the open tell each other who the people are who threaten us. Use names, addresses, phone numbers. Know where they live, the schools they send their children to. Not to discard them but to help them get out of their sickness. Openness is the antidote to psychopathy. Id explain more but I have to take my dog out for a walk as hes been waiting some time. They had the weather manipulation machine out on display today, in the mid Atlantic area, aka FEMA Region III. bravo GRETTA spot on. They are the domestic enemies. Those are perfectly normal cloud formations. Obama said so so it must be true. 
3	Icelands Hrur Torfason How to Beat the BankstersAlex Peitrowski, Contributor In response to the failed banking system, in October 2008, Icelands revolution against this financial tyranny began, rather casually in the street, in front of the Icelandic general assembly. In the duration of five months, the main bank of Iceland was nationalized, government officials were forced to resign, the old government was liquidated, and a new government was put in its place. By March 2010, Icelands people voted to deny payment of the 3,500 million Euro debt created by the bankers, and about 200 high-level executives and bankers responsible for the economic crisis in the country were either arrested or were facing criminal charges. In February 2011, a new constitutional assembly settled in to rewrite the tiny nations constitution, which aimed to avoid entrapment by debt-based currency foreign loans. In 2012, Icelands economy is expected to outgrow the Euro and the average for the developed world, as estimated by the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. So how does a revolution like this take root and activate a citizenry to effectively respond to grand scale economic theft by bankers and politicians? Hrur Torfason, a lifelong activist from Iceland, is credited with organizing the Icelandic Kitchenware Revolution, beginning with a simple vigil in front of parliament aimed at educating passersby and ridiculing the blatant crimes of the elite who worked there. When the foreign financial community (the IMF and the European Union) pressured Icelands Parliament to pass laws dictating repayment of debts privately incurred by bankers, the revolution was formally ignited and nearly turned violent when some Icelanders began throwing rocks at the capitol, attempting to pressure the government for redress. Torfason and his supporters knew that a non-violent approach would be more effective, and formed a human wall of clearly marked orange-vested citizens between angry rock-throwers and the police line. Torfason believed that in order for a movement to be effective, one must use reason and information, as well as peaceful demonstrations, to send a strong message to politicians that the people refuse to pay the bankers debts. The end result of the peaceful resistance to economic tyranny is a model for all Western nations who are currently being gutted by a totally corrupt banking system. This story is much different than what has happened in the US since the banking crisis began in 2008. Large bailouts were granted to the bankers, and none of the responsible parties have faced criminal prosecution. And it appears that we are still at the mercy of the currency cartel and the dollar faces total destruction. In Iceland, the prime minister was indicted, over 200 criminal charges were filed against the bankers, and all of the former CEOs of the 3 biggest banks were arrested. The new government supported citizens by passing a banking remittance that forgave debt exceeding 110% of home values. As a result, banks have forgiven loans equivalent to 13 percent of gross domestic product, easing the debt burdens of more than a quarter of the population. (source: Bloomberg.com) Yes, the country continued to struggle economically after the 2008 revolution. But already today Iceland is thriving, with 2.9% growth in the economy in 2011, and 2.4% estimated by the OECD for 2012 and 2013. The lesson to be learned from Icelands crisis is that if other countries think its necessary to write down debts, they should look at how successful the 110 percent agreement was here. Its the broadest agreement thats been undertaken. Thorolfur Matthiasson, an economics professor at the University of Iceland in Reykjavik (source: Bloomberg.com) This is about our life and the future of the children, of the generations, of the young people.

2	Obama Just Said THIS About FOX News, FOX Fires Back In An Awesome Way Recently, President Obama took another shot at Fox News and Republicans, claiming that the success of Obamacare is keeping them silent. Theres a reason fewer Republicans you hear them running around abut Obamacare, Obama said in a statement. Because while good affordable health care might seem like a fanged threat to the freedom of the American people on Fox News, it turns out its working pretty well in the real world. The hosts on The Five recently aired the clip, criticizing for the Obama for speaking out against Fox News more than ISIS. He bashes the FNC more than ISIS, and we dont behead anybody, said Greg Gutfield. The bigger point here is that if theres anybody in the media that likes the fact that its not them that hes angry at, you shouldnt be because that means youre a wuss. Youre a pliant servant in his harem. The only reason why hes coming after Fox News is were the only network that actually tries to challenge him. What do you think of Obamas insults towards the network and Republicans? Does he need to be out of the White House immediately? 
2	Hillary Literally Caught On Live TV Handing Questions To Reporter... No Media Outrage [VIDEO] Republican nominee Donald Trump has always expressed some concern that the media is full of corruption. In the past few weeks, he has become more vocal. It is clear he is no longer willing to let the media rig the election in Hillary Clintons favor. Trump has received immense criticism for his claims. The Clinton campaign called his assertions dangerous. But for those of us who have been paying attention, the bias is obvious. Just watch the footage below of Hillary Clinton handing questions to reporters for an interview. What do you think? Does this corruption need to stop? 
2	Mother Of Beheaded Journalist Stuns White House With What She Said About Obama Almost one month ago, ISIS publicly beheaded journalist James Foley. They have since beheaded another American journalist, as well as a British aid worker. The videos have sparked outrage, and calls for action against the Islamic State. Once again, it appears the President Obama is dragging his feet. Americans first started to doubt the presidents dedication after he went golfing immediately after speaking about the loss of Foley. Obama was also responsible for delaying a rescue mission for the journalists when they were originally captured. Further, reports reveal that Foley was originally captured by the Syrian rebels that Obama himself was backing. Now, Foleys mother Diane has decided to speak out against Obama and the way that he has handled the tragic incident. In an interview with CNN, she told reporters that she was embarrassed and appalled at the lack of action from the president. She feels he has done very little to take action against the group that brutally murdered her son. Further, she revealed that her family received threats of fines, prosecution, and imprisonment when they attempted to raise ransom funds on their own when Foley was originally captured. The Foleys also doubt Obamas half-hearted strategies will do anything to get to the root of the problem, which they view as radical Islamic ideology. What do you think? Do you support the Foleys? 
2	Soldier Flaunts AntiAccording to recent reports, a member of the U.S. Army Band who claims he was reprimanded for having anti-Obama bumper stickers on his personal car and reading books by conservative authors, has just been found guilty of three Article 15 charges. Master Sgt. Nathan Sommers was found guilty last week of failing to go to an appointed place of duty, disobedience of an order, and making a false official statement reports indicate. The charges were issued shortly after Sommers told Fox News that he was the victim of discrimination and persecution because of his political and religious beliefs. Retired Navy Commander John Bennett wells told Fox News that the charges were the direct result of a superior officer being given the wrong date for a doctors appointment. In order to comply with an order he was given, Sommers would have been required to disclose private information about his son, who has autism. Its suspicious, Wells told Fox News. It looks like a graduated attempt to build a case against him on some really ridiculous charges. The Military District of Washington would not comment on the soldiers punishment, but it appears that the Army is deliberately trying to send a message. Sommers troubles with authority began last year, when he was approached for having an anti-Obama bumper sticker on his vehicle. He was approach by his superior officer who told him that the stickers were creating unnecessary workplace tension. He was also reprimanded for reading conservative-themed books at eating Chick-fil-A sandwiches. Theres no question about it, Wells concluded in an interview with Fox News. Because he is religious, because he feels that homosexual conduct is wrong for religious reasons, he is basically being persecuted. What do you think? Do you support Sommers for standing behind his beliefs? 
3	Helicopter Money: Global Central Banks Consider Distributing Money Directly To The PeopleBy Michael Snyder So as they rapidly run out of ammunition, global central bankers are now openly discussing something that might sound kind of crazy. According tothe Telegraph, central banks are becoming increasingly open to employing a tactic known as helicopter money Faced with political intransigence, central bankers are openly talking about the previously unthinkable: helicopter money. A catch-all term, helicopter drops describe the process by which central banks can create money to transfer to the public or private sector to stimulate economic activity and spending. Long considered one of the last policymaking taboos, debate around the merits of helicopter money has gained traction in recent weeks. Do you understand what is being said there? The idea is basically this central banks would create money out of thin air and would just give it to national governments or ordinary citizens. So who would decide who gets the money? Well, they would. If you are anything like me, this sounds very much like Pandoras Box being opened. But this just shows how much of a panic there is among central bankers right now. They know that we are plunging into a new global economic crisis, and they are desperate to find something that will stop it. And if that means printing giant gobs of money and dropping it from helicopters over the countryside, well then that is precisely what they are going to do. In fact, the chief economist at the European Central Bank is quite adamant about the fact that the ECB can print money out of thin air and distribute it to people when the situation calls for it ECB chief Mario Draghi has refused to rule out the prospect, saying only that the bank had not yet discussed such matters due to their legal and accounting complexity. This week, his chief economist Peter Praet went further in hinting that helicopter drops were part of the ECBs toolbox. All central banks can do it, said Praet. You can issue currency and you distribute it to people. The question is, if and when is it opportune to make recourse to that sort of instrument. Apparently memories of the Weimar Republic must have faded over in Europe, because this sounds very much like what they tried to do. I dont know why anyone would ever want to risk going down that road again. Here in the United States, the Federal Reserve is not openly talking about helicopter money just yet, but that is only because the stock market is doing okay for the moment. Most Americans dont realize this, but the primary reason why stocks are doing better in the U.S. than in the rest of the world is because of stock buybacks. According toWolf Richter, corporations spent more than half a trillion dollars buying back their own stocks over the past 12 months During the November-January period, 378 of the SP 500 companies bought back their own shares, according to FactSet. Total buybacks in the quarter rose 5.2% from a year ago, to $136.6 billion. Over the trailing 12 months (TTM), buybacks totaled $568.9 billion. When corporations buy back their own stocks, that means that they are slowly liquidating themselves. Instead of pouring money into new good ideas, they are just returning money to investors. This is not how a healthy economy should work. But corporate executives love stock buybacks, because it increases the value of their stock options. And big investors love them too, because they love to see the value of their stock holdings rise. So we will continue to see big corporations cannibalize themselves, but there are a couple of reasons why this is starting to slow down. Number one, corporate profits are starting to fall steadily as the economy slows down, so there will be less income to plow into these stock buybacks. Number two, many corporations have used debt to fund buybacks, but now it is getting tougher for corporations to get new funding as corporate defaults rise. As stock buybacks slow, this is going to put downward pressure on the market, and we will eventually catch up with the rest of the planet. At this point, many experts are still calling for stocks to fall by another 40, 50 or 60 percent from current levels. For example, the following comes fromJohn Hussman When the SP 500 does fall that much eventually, the Federal Reserve will respond with emergency measures. So, yes, we may see helicopter money employed in Japan and in Europe first, but we will see it here someday, too. I know that a lot of people out there are feeling pretty good about things for the moment because U.S. stocks have rebounded quite a bit lately. But remember, the fundamental economic numbers just continue to get even worse. Just today we learned that existing home sales in the United States had fallen by the most in six years. That is definitely not a sign that things are getting better, and I keep trying to warn people that tumultuous times are dead ahead. And if global central bankers did not agree with me, they would not be talking about the need for helicopter money and other emergency measures. 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. The 1percent need to be taxed more. No one should be allowed to have so much wealth while others are going without food and shelter. This state of affaires is tottaly unacceptable in a civilized society. The question is, Is our capitalist based country really civilized? Wow, you really need to get a clue. I agree about the criminal cabal running Wall Street. We should have arrested the bankers like Iceland did not bailed them out. However, many of the one percent made their money honestly via many unfair loopholes in the tax code as part of Reganomics. There are many parts of the tax code that need to be changed to make a more fair system. I,m very afraid that by the time the poorer people in the US ever see any of that Helicopter Money it will be Too late or the money wont be worth much, if anything! And I bet if it werent for the super rich 1%ers buying multiple expensive homes and 20million$$ mansions , then the very low home buying figures would be a whole lot lower and worse than they are. Hi my name is J.P. Goldman, Ill be expecting a check for $6 Trillion or so. Depends how much you pay for my collection of Lance Armstrong memorabilia. 2-3 million on the cent sounds good. 
2	What Mike Browns Mom Just Said About The Two Cops Shot In Ferguson Will Make You FURIOUS Michael Browns mother showed just how classless she is when she decided to make a comment on Facebook about the recent shooting of two police officers during riots in Ferguson. If my FAM woulda got JUSTICE in August maybe those two cops wouldnt have got shot LAST NIGHT her first post read. F*** THEM 2 COPSDONT GOT NO SYMPATHY FOR THEM OR THEY FAMILIESAint no FUN when the Rabbit got the GUN, another post read. The shocking posts have received major backlash from the community, and are causing even liberal supporters to question their loyalty to the Brown family. What do you think of the posts? Are they disgusting? 
2	Oprah Says That All White Racists Must Die To Fix America Oprah Winfrey made some shocking comments in a recent interview with BBC, when she alluded that the only reason someone wouldnt like President Barack Obama is if they were a racist. When the interviewer asked Oprah if she thought people were against Obama because he was black, she responded, Theres no question. She went on to say that she thinks theres a level of disrespect for the office that occurs. And that occurs in some cases because hes African American. Theres no question about that. And its the kind of thing no one ever says, buy everybody is thinking. Apparently Oprah isnt aware that her comments dont set her apart. Instead, they group her with a slew of Obama supporters that claim that disapproval of the president stems from either religious or racial discrimination. And she clearly hasnt paid attention to stations like MSNBC or celebrities like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. She certainly isnt alone in her accusations, but continued on to make a statement about racisms in general, stating that As long as people can be judged by the color of their skin, problems not solved. So when does Oprah see racism coming to an end? There are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism, Oprah said, and they just have to die. Thats right, according to Oprah, when everyone who ever had a racist ancestor dies, America will be set free from all of its problems. What do you think of Oprahs shocking comments? 
3	The Politics of the Human HeartJanet C. Phelan Some little girls would always begin to sob. We never knew whether it was a drill or not until the all clear sounded. Unlike so many of my classmates, I was never worried. A small voice inside me told me there was no real danger from Soviet missiles and, bolstered by this, I remained aloof, calm. But the small still voice told me something else. Later, it told me. The danger will come later. We are no longer children, those of us who lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Red Threat. We have accumulated layers of knowledge, wisdom and, unlike seven year olds unable to quite stifle their terror, we have learned methods to deal with a sense of imminent threat. Or have we? At the core of the sensibility of weeping children, filing into an auditorium for an unknown conclusion, was fear. Fear for self and fear for those we loved. That fear is still ostensibly at the core of what drives our most personal and political of actions. This fear could also be called the survival instinct, fight or flight and forms a substantial tributary into how we form our lives. Do we speak out when we see someone being hurt? Do we first take stock of the personal ramifications for so doing? Do we post anonymously on the Internet, attacking or supporting others under a comfortable veil of hidden identity? Do we give of our time and energies when there is no ostensible personal gain attached? Does our work take us into realms of information access that would be safer for us to not acknowledge having? But the stakes are higher now. Joan dArc went up in flames because she obeyed the voice of God and angered the British. Her crimes of heresy and insubordination echo both backwards and forwards through history. Karen Silkwood took on a chemical Goliath and paid for it with her very breathonce again, defying the powerful in acts of both heresy and disrespect for authority. Random acts of rebellion seem less random and garner more attention because the world is smaller now. The density and focus of accumulated power gives every gesture of goodness, every act of self transcendence a concomitant greater potential for tipping the balance. In the wake of Edward Snowdens revelations of the degree and extent to which the U.S has constructed a Stasi like surveillance society, we can see again how the two competing desires of the human heart self protection and self expansion are duking it out. Some individuals will want to retract even further, given the shocking knowledge that what they thought were private and secure communications may have lit up the NSA computers like a pinball arcade. Others may react as if a gauntlet has been thrown down. You are listening to WHAT? You are keeping files on me for WHAT? and as a result only multiply efforts to establish connections and reach out to others, defying the watchers. The most revolutionary act has always been an act of self transcendence. There is no upheaval, no paradigm shift attached to bean counting, whether in monetary transactions or in how we relate energetically to others. To activate ones knowledge, ones potential for making the leap from ME to NOT ME may be one of the most radical acts possible, given the pervasiveness of the politics of fear and self protection. We live in exceptional times. We are faced with exceptional opportunities to change the course of history, which is tunneling deeper and deeper towards global totalitarianism This challenge is being delivered to each and every one of us. We can shut ourselves down and hope we have escaped attention, all too understandable in light of the human propensity for self protection. This decision will only ensure the success of the global lockdown being thrust upon us. Or, we can take another route. This other route is bathed in the incandescence of something we have been taught to scoff at a moral absolute. It is both thrilling and sobering to realize that one is participating in the resistance against something so enormous, baffling in its complexity and shadowy reach. This other road defines in the most fundamental sense what it means to be human. It also redefines a symbol the crossroads which we have been taught to accept as the sign of the death and resurrection of God. The crossroads, however, is also a symbol of the intersection between earth and sky, the juncture at which what is flesh connects with that which is greater and more enduring. This is the opportunity that has been afforded us to participate in the future of our world in ways that provide the possibility that there will be a future. The crossroads is also a symbol of choice. This other road the road of fearlessness and love invites us to live largely. It does not ensure our personal safety and security. It only offers us something far greater than that.

3	Federal Govt Accused of Withholding GMO Crop Info For YearsBy Derrick Broze The CFS accuses APHIS of failing to respond within a timely manner to at least 29 of their FOIA requests or appeals. The lawsuit is the centers latest attempt to force APHIS to respond to FOIA requests and to order the agency to stop its practice of failing to respond to FOIA requests related to GE crops. Cristina Stella, staff attorney for the Center for Food Safety, says that APHIS has a history of inadequate regulation of GMO crops. In the absence of thorough government oversight, public access to information about these crops becomes all the more critical, Stella said. This lawsuit is necessary to stop APHIS from continuing to ignore its duty to provide the public with information that affects farmers, communities, and the environment. Stella also says that the longer APHIS fails to regulate the GMO crops, the more the environment will face damage, including transgenic contamination of nearby crops, pesticide drift, and endangerment of protected species. CFS has been seeking information about these harms for over ten yearsand for over ten years, APHIS has continually ignored our requests. It cannot continue to do so, she noted. The CFS argues that APHIS has failed in several ways, including not responding to a FOIA request related to GE sorghum. The CFS says crops like GE sorghum were engineered by inserting genes that are not on APHISs plant pest list. This means the USDA does not have the authority to regulate the crops. CFS says this is allowing GE crops to spread without proper studies or public knowledge. The CFS also says APHISs silence has made it more difficult to mitigate harm caused by GE crops that escape from field trials, known as unauthorized releases. Crops that escape could possibly contaminate traditional or organic crops. The group also charges that APHIS ignored requests for information related to field trials of Monsantos Roundup Ready creeping bentgrass. Advancing the publics knowledge on controversial topics like genetically engineered crops is vitally important. After all, in late July the U.S. House of Representatives passed a measure that would prohibit the labeling of GE crops, with the Senate expected to take up the bill in September. Anti-Media recently reported that independent GMO researcher Kevin Folta, a professor and chairman of the Horticultural Sciences Department at the University of Gainesville, received a $25,000 grant from Monsanto. The revelation is a brutal reminder that every individual should do their own research and be skeptical of all official sources of information. Derrick Broze writes for theAntiMedia.org.

3	High-Speed Rail in California Brings Agenda 21 Megacities Closer to RealitySusanne Posel, Contributor Senator Joe Simitian said on the Senate floor: I think high-speed rail makes sense in California but were not being asked to vote on a vision today, were being asked to vote on a particular plan. Regrettably, the only conclusion I can come to today is that this is the wrong plan in the wrong place in the wrong time. Supporters of the bill claim that it would create jobs and promote public transit to protect the environment. While such a project might seem sensible on the surface, the high-speed railway is the brainchild of America 2050, a non-governmental organization that supports Agenda 21 policies in the United States. America 2050 claims that the railway will provide more trains to the growing population in California between San Francisco Bay and the Los Angeles Basin. They propose this endeavor is necessary to close the gap between Northern and Southern California. Petra Todorovich, director of America 2050, said, It is clear that the success of high-speed rail in the U.S. is dependent on delivering real benefits to users at every stage in the process of project development and construction. The revisions to the California high-speed rail business plan address the urgency of translating taxpayer investment into transportation improvements in our commuting lifetimes. America 2050, in line with Agenda 21, wants to see high-speed railways built along the east and west coasts of America. These railways will link the megaregions and subsequent megacities that will be constructed to house the citizens of America once the buffer zones and wildland areas and corridors are established. The vision for Cascadia, which is the amalgamation of Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver, British Columbia with a high-speed rail will ensure the protection of designated habitats for animals. Cascadia will begin in Northern California and extend along the Pacific Ocean. The creation of megacities, now dubbed Ecolopolis, will be the supercity known as Cascadia. In order to gain support for this scheme, they plan to brand Cascadia to ensure public allegiance for the development strategies. Cascadia is expected to be the beta-testing ground for the global movement of Agenda 21. Federal, state, and the UN will converge to install sustainable urban places by destroying individual property rights, usurping rural areas from property owners, and financially bankrupting towns so that the populations will move into Ecolopolis. The four strategies that ensure Cascadia will become our future are: By perverting the Gallatin Plan begun by President Roosevelt in 1908, the globalists at America 2050 mitigate urbanization with the focal point on Agenda 21 sustainable development schemes to shift populations into dense megacities. The US government is supporting these plans by offering financing to states that will build and implement infrastructure that ultimately creates the Ecolopolis megacity model all across the nation. Government agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the Department of Transportation (DOT) are expected to assist in the furthering goals for livability and smart growth. America 2050 has studied how the livability theme might be acted on here in Cascadia in anticipation of increased engagement from federal partners. Recently, the House of Representatives introduced S.1813 which would rewrite the nations transportation laws. This bill would cut funding to non-highway programs and force people to use public transit under the guise of reducing the impact of travel on the environment. The House Committee on Ways and Meansredirected funding from public transit by way of the transit trust fund. This means that Amtrak, who relies on government subsidies, will be on par with all other forms of transit. The $40 billion transfer from the US general fund could ultimately bankrupt the project. America 2050 proposes raising gasoline taxes to make up the lost funding for their high-speed railways. They say that if these monies were blamed on monetary inflation, the general public would not direct their blame on NGOs working the US government agencies to force the American public to pay for Agenda 21 policies whether they know it or not. They estimate this scheme would funnel $34.5 billion to fill in the gaps in funding and that Congress should recognize that transportation investments are just as important as healthcare and national security priorities.

1	Lifetime Phillies fans Cory Matthews, 27, and his former next-door neighbor, educator, and longtime friend, Mr. Feeny, celebrated together after the Phillies captured their first World Series title in 28 years. 'I remember when Mr. Matthews attempted to listen to a radio broadcast of a Phillies game during my English class. Now, 15 years later, there's nobody in the world with whom I'd rather celebrate this occasion,' the wheelchair-bound Feeny said. 'Throughout my years with Mr. Matthews, we've experienced some powerful momentslike when we switched places as teacher and student, or when I babysat him and caught him sneaking into an R-rated movie, or when I got sick because Cory wished I would get sick, prompting him to feel guilty about itbut this is the first time we can experience happiness together as Phillies fans.' After their celebration, Matthews and Feeny shared a quiet, solemn moment to remember that Matthews' best friend Shawn Hunter would have been celebrating with them had he not passed away in a motorcycle accident last year. 
2	You May Soon Be Forced To House Illegal Aliens The immigration crisis at the border has reached an all time high, and it is costing border communities thousands of dollars in public funds. As a result, cities and towns are faced with limited funds to take care of their own residents. Still, the government seems to be ignoring the problem. According to recent reports, a petition was filed this week that was intended to alleviate some of the burden on local towns by using Democratic donations to take care of the many illegal immigrants being housed at their request. It also asked for illegal immigrants to be housed on White House grounds, instead of being delivered in busloads to towns not equipped to handle the invasion. After 12 years of going live, the petition mysteriously faced a glitch, and thousands of people who attempted to sign the position on the We the People website were unable to do so. Either the site was faulty, or somebody in the White House saw the petition as a huge threat. Whatever the case may be, the public is fed up and it is likely going to take more than disabling a website to stop them from speaking out and pushing back. Already groups have begun to protest, and Americans have finally decided that they will not simply bow down to the government. What do you think? Should the government stop putting the needs of illegal immigrants over those of the American people? 
2	Obama Just Made A SICKENING Announcement... Hes Been Planning This All Along Weve seen eight years of damage to this country with President Obama in the White House, and Americans are counting down the days until he exits for good. Some have speculated that our troubles with Obama will not end there, placing him as the secretary general of the United Nations or even a Supreme Court justice. Now, Valerie Jarrett has introduced some good news on this front. In an interview 60 Minutes the top Obama adviser said that Obama intends to keep a low profile after leaving office. President Obama will be the former president, and he will be a citizen just like everybody else, and he will behave accordingly, of that Im sure, Jarrett commented. One of the things I would compliment President Bush forand not just President Bush, but several members of his team as well, who have said to me, We had our eight years and now we owe you silence, Jarrett continued. And I think thats the way the president will behave in terms of Washington. But does that mean that he has a platform on which he can do great good around our country and around the world? Sure. But he will leave being the president to the new president. This is the best news weve received from Jarrett in years. What do you think? Do you hope Obama really does keep a low profile?

3	10 Simple Steps Toward Self-SufficiencyGaye Levy, Contributor Alas, everywhere you look there are roadblocks to achieving this state. Not the least of these roadblocks is our dependency on transportation systems and the power infrastructure to deliver goods and energy products to our homes and homesteads. And then there are the entitlements such as social security and Medicare for the older members of our population and disability and Medicaid for the disabled and the sick. Over the years, these systems have been set up for better or for worse to create dependencies rather than self-sufficiencys. (And by the way, the names may be different but these dependencies exist in all Western countries, not just the United States.) Luckily, though, self-sufficiency is not an all or nothing proposition. At one end of the spectrum is a total, off grid, agrarian lifestyle and at the other is a moderately self-sufficient lifestyle where steps are taken to move toward 10% or 20% self sufficiency. Not a lot. But something. Today I will share some easy steps you can take to to start moving toward that 10 or 20 percent mark. These are steps that do not require a farm, do not require acreage and do not require a lot of money to begin with. They are practical steps that you can start with and that you can select from and embrace as your needs and desire for independence change and grow over time. 10 Baby Steps Toward a Self Sufficient Lifestyle 1. Grow a vegetable garden Growing a vegetable garden is also fun. 2. Build a compost pile 3. Grow fruit trees and berries 4. Learn to preserve your bounty 5. Start an emergency fund And by the way, beans and rice, well prepared, is delicious! 6. Learn to barter 7. Make your own cleaning supplies 8. Bake your own bread 9. Be your own handyman and fix-it yourself 10. Become self-entertaining The Final Word My own experience tells me that there is a special inner peace that comes from being self-sufficient. I experienced that myself last year when our power went out for an extended period. Others that I talk to also tell me that they too find great joy in the simple things in life that do not rely on excessive consumerism. Taking baby steps toward self sufficiency while doing things that you enjoy will help you get closer to and independent lifestyle more quickly than you can imagine.

3	House Passes HR 4133 Binding the US to Israel and Their War AgendaSusanne Posel, Contributor The USIESC, written by Eric Cantor, claims there is a need to provide Israel with unlimited military and financial aid as a result of the disturbances caused by the Arab Spring. Israel will have an essentially unlimited amount of funds allocated to them through the Federal Reserve Bank. The country will also enjoy an expanded role of NATO that consists of an enhanced presence at NATO headquarters and exercises. The USIESC pledges the US governments commitment to assist Israel in remaining a Jewish State; as well as protection from the UN if the UN Security Council resolves to hold Israel accountable to international laws. The US governments counter-terrorism unit will also aid Israel by any means. This USIESC asserts that supported by the American people the US government will repeatedly affirm the special bond between the United States and Israel and that the two countries have shared values and shared interests. The Executive Summary of USIESC says that the following actions to assist in the defense of Israel are: USIESC goes on to claim that: Iran, (3) which has long sought to foment instability and promote extremism in the Middle East, is now seeking to (4) exploit the dramatic political transition underway in the region to undermine governments traditionally aligned with the United States and support extremist political movements in these countries. On the contrary, Israel and the US have been the biggest proponents of violence toward unprovoked nations in recent times. The collaboration of the US, Israel and NATO, with help from CIA operatives al-Qaeda and other US funded terrorist groups, have synthesized fake revolutions (i.e. the Arab Spring) to destabilize governments and force regime changes. Right now, al-Qaeda is being used by the Obama administration to force the Syrian President out of office through repeated attacks and massive killing of innocent Syrians. In Africa, specifically the south Sudan region, Obama has teamed up with Israel to create the new nation of South Sudan by using terrorism to force their current government out. USIESC continues its assault on Iran: At the same time, (5) Iran may soon attain a nuclear weapons capability, a development that would fundamentally threaten vital American interests, destabilize the region, encourage regional nuclear proliferation, further empower and embolden Iran, (6) the worlds leading state sponsor of terrorism, and (7) provide it the tools to threaten its neighbors, including Israel. Although publicly, both the Obama administration and the Israeli government have admitted that Iran has absolutely no intention of building nuclear weapons. Both governments assume that by using words like they may or they might denotes a definite intention to do so. The Mullahs that have ultimate authority in Iran have stated numerous times that the acquisition and use of nuclear weapons goes against the law of Islam. Independent studies, outside of the US and Israeli reach, have also confirmed that not only does Iran not have nuclear weapons at present, but are not perusing their allocation. To justify the fabricated need to assist Israel in remaining safe the USIESC states : As a result, (8) the strategic environment that has kept Israel secure and safeguarded United States national interests for the past 35 years has eroded. At the present time, Israel is in possession of an estimated 200 300 nuclear weapons. They are the covert superpower of the world. Israel also enjoys one of the most intensive and explicit armies in the world. While Israel continues to invade the sovereign nations that surround them, they are not being invaded themselves. The USIESC is a propaganda piece of legislation designed to set the stage for full military support of Israel when they launch an unprovoked strike against Iran. While now, there are campaigns to coerce a fake grassroots effort to force a regime change in Iran, the inevitability of war declarations are looming in the distance. China and Russia have made it clear that they have absolutely no intention of ending their relations with Iran. The distractions in the mainstream media concerning Obama are just that. The sudden inflation of gay rights in the political arena and nonsensical social memes are being touted as if they will define our nation. The USIESC has clearly set a precedent and definition of who America is. The Obama administration, under careful control of the global Elite, is consolidating power with Israel in a joint effort to take over the world . . . by toppling one government at a time.

3	Sanitized US Drone ReportBy Stephen Lendman Late Friday, the Obama administration chose the start of the July 4 holiday weekend to release its sanitized drone report, an exercise in deception when few people were paying attention. Its not worth the paper its written on, fabricated to conceal revealing that drones used for military purposes are instruments of state terror. Independent studies show the vast majority of casualties are non-high value targets and noncombatant civilian men, women and children indiscriminately slaughtered, US imperial victims. When Obama says drone strikes are targeted and focused, hes willfully lying to deceive the public to believe a policy of mass murder makes us safe. The report only covered US drone strikes outside active conflict zones in Pakistan, Yemen (where its raging), Libya (here, too) and Somalia, excluding Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria further destroying its credibility. Claiming 64 116 civilians alone were killed from 2009 through 2015 is willful falsification. Some independent studies estimate thousands of civilian deaths. In a 2013 speech, Obama claimed no drone strikes are authorized without near-certainty that no civilians will be killed or injured then admitting noncombatant casualties occur. The Reprieve human rights group calls Americas killer drones programmethe death penalty without trial, most often claiming noncombatant civilians. Ahead of late Fridays release, it published its own report, titled The Truth About US Drone Strikes, presenting evidence showing previous administration statements on its policy were proved to be false. In June 2011, CIA director John Brennan willfully lied, saying there hasnt been a single collateral death from drones. Numerous independent studies prove otherwise. Drone operators dont know who theyre killing despite administration claims otherwise. According to Reprieve, What little the Obama Administration has previously said on the record about the drone program has been shown by the facts on the ground, and even the US Governments own internal documents, to be false. Any claim of low numbers of civilian casualties will therefore have to be read against the more rigorous work of organizations such as the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ), which estimates a low of 492 civilian casualties across Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, and a high of potentially 1138. But more importantly, it has to be asked what bare numbers will mean if they omit even basic details such as the names of those killed and the areas, even the countries, they live in. Equally, the numbers without the definitions to back up how the Administration is defining its targets is useless, especially given reports the Obama Administration has shifted the goalposts on what counts as a civilian to such an extent that any estimate may be far removed from reality. In US drone operations, reports suggest all military aged males and potentially even women and children are considered enemies killed in action unless they can posthumously and conclusively prove their innocence. Reprieve estimates more than 4,000 people in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia alone were killed by US drone strikes, most noncombatants caus(ing) people to live in constant fear of the skies overhead. Americas killer drone program is (its) dangerous new face of counter-terrorism, said Reprieve its ruthless policy of indiscriminate mass murder, part of its lawless hegemonic agenda, making the world safe for monied interests. All drone strikes are illegal, flagrantly violating international, constitutional and US statute laws. Obama saying (e)very time I think about those kids being killed it makes me cry belies his viciousness. He heads a Murder, Inc. administration, acting as judge, jury and executioner, mocking due process and habeas rights. As US commander-in-chief, he bears full responsibility for indiscriminate mass murder. He can order it stopped any time with a stroke of his pen. Instead, he prioritizes killing on an industrial scale, drones one of many tools claiming millions of casualties, victims of imperial barbarity. Stephen Lendman lives in Chicago.

2	Alabama BBQ Contest Officials Tell These Patriots To Remove Their U.S. Flags For Outlandish Reason According to reports, a BBQing contest in Daphne, Alabama became the source of great debate after BBQ content officials demanded contestants remove their American flags from their grilling stands.

A man named Jeff, the founder of Give it to God competition barbecue, a team that smokes meat and loves Jesus, showed up at the even equipped with their barbecue trailer. Shortly after arriving, the team raised the American flag. There were six or eight of us that had flags flying, Jeff told a source. He went to each camp and told them to take the flag down and everybody did. What do you think of the incident? Is there anything wrong with flying the American flag at a BBQ?

1	Catalog copywriter Roger Turlock knows all the keyboard combinations that execute a computer's common commands, the Comfort Uniforms employee said yet again Tuesday. Area Man Knows All The Shortcut Keys 'You can just hit Command-P to print, you know,' Turlock, 38, told a coworker who had just gone through the labor-intensive process of printing via the word-processing application's pull-down File menu. 'Lot faster. Just Command at the same time as the letter P.' 'Command-Q to quit a program,' Turlock said to the air. 'Command-X for cut. Command-C for copy. Command-V for paste. Those are biggiesCommand-X, -C, and -V.' Turlock not only knows the shortcut keys for Microsoft Word, Microsoft Explorer, and Outlook Express, the three programs he uses most frequently on his iMac at work, but also for the OS9 system software and a number of other programs on his home computer. 'It's not that hard to learn,' Turlock said. 'A lot of the keys are pretty much the same. In Explorer, if you hit Command-N, you're going to get a new browser window. In Word or Excel, you're going to get a new document, in Outlook Express a new message. In OS, it'll be a new folder. See? Easy. Saves a lot of time. Command-N.' Turlock said he is 'more than willing' to teach those who have been too timid to seek out the shortcut knowledge independently. 'Command-F for find,' Turlock told human-resources secretary June Blise today after 1.5 seconds of scrolling had failed to produce his name on her screen. 'Then just type 'Turlock' and hit return. Really, you could just type 'T-U-R' to find it even faster.' 'What's 'Command'?' Blise asked. 'Sorry,' Turlock said. 'Same as Open Apple. Microsoft isn't going to want to say that dirty word, though, so on MS products it's called the Command key.' 'What's 'Open Apple'?' Blise asked. Despite years of hearing questions like Blise's, Turlock said he remains surprised by ignorance of basic key commands. 'I don't know,' Turlock said. 'They use the keyboard every day. You'd think they'd be curious about what F1 through F15 do. Those function keys aren't up there for someone else, after all.' Turlock insisted that his knowledge of all the shortcut keys, though an anomaly among his peers, is no special gift. 'It takes one second to learn a combo, then you have it,' Turlock said. 'People use these commands every day, and for some reason they never learn the shortcut. Amazing. It's so simple. Open Apple-S. Save. There you go. Done and done.' 'Take Command-W,' continued Turlock, in spite of a visible lack of interest among those present. 'The same shortcutthat's Command and Wwill close a window in Word, and in Explorer...in Adobe Acrobat, in Quark [XPress]. I'm pretty sure it closes a window in Quark. I'd have to check on that one. I'll check that out tonight at home.' Turlock said he is 'shocked' by how many people do not know about Command-Z, the shortcut to 'undo typing,' or cancel the last action performed. 'Absolutely unbelievable,' Turlock said. 'Command-Z has saved my butt so many times.' While Turlock works on an Apple system, he said all of the 'life-or-death combos' are available on every operating system. 'Roger is always saying, it's just this key and this key with this key held down,' coworker Carlin Sampson said. 'I think it's simpler to just go into the menu.' 'But it's not simpler,' Turlock said. 'It's just one motion. It takes time to grab the mouse and pull down the menu. You can just hit the key without lifting your hands from the keyboard.' 'Why wouldn't I want to lift my hands off the keyboard?' Sampson asked. In spite of its usefulness, much of Turlock's advice will likely continue to go unheeded. 'You don't even have to go to the manual, guys,' he said. 'All the important ones are listed in the pull-down menu... Or hit the Help key to get a list... Or Command, question mark... Or you could look under the Help menu item on the right.' 
1	According to an extensive 18-month study published by researchers at the University of New Mexico this week, Americans, despite their embarrassing behavior, general ineptitude, and countless other negative traits, are actually kind of endearing in some ways. 'Our initial data showed that Americans are impulsive and tend toward willful ignorancefindings that are consistent with past research,' said Professor Spencer Dixon, who led the study on U.S. culture and society. 'But what we were surprised and, honestly, a little delighted to find is that Americans' short attention spans, simplemindedness, and inability to articulate a coherent idea can actually make them pretty lovable.' 'It's hard to describe,' Dixon continued. 'It's just all these little quirks they have. And after a month or two of observation, they kind of start to grow on you.' After thousands of interviews with citizens from every socioeconomic, racial, and ethnic background, the UNM researchers discovered that despite the tendency of many Americans to do the loudest, dumbest thing possible at any given moment, the populace is 'in the end, pretty hard not to like' and in many instances 'sort of charming, frankly.' With their quirky ability to remain immobile for hours on end, Americans gradually won the affection of researchers. Although the study documented numerous cases of adult Americans throwing tantrums, wasting valuable resources, taking their clothing off at live music or sporting events, and littering, researchers said they have determined conclusively that these habits in fact actually add to the people's charm. 'They do this other thing in public sometimes where they'll keep shouting the same stuff over and over again for no reason whatsoever,' Dixon said. 'And it's really fascinating, because according to our findings, not a single one of them even knows what it is they're shouting. They just like the sound of their own voice, I guess.' Added Dixon, with a chuckle, 'The goofy bastards.' A large section of the 380-page study was devoted to examining the personal appearances of Americans, which researchers described as either very drab or unusually provocative, depending on the subject, but in all cases 'undeniably amusing to look at.' Anthropologist Loren Martinez, who analyzed the eating habits of Americans, said she was dismayed by early evidence suggesting the study's participants completely avoided food with any nutritional value, but was quickly won over after witnessing their enthusiasm for cookies. 'The way they had chocolate chips and crumbs smeared all over their faces as they wolfed down plate after plate of cookies kind of made me smile,' Martinez said. 'Because it was just so them, you know? You just have to love anyone who feels no shame about stuffing a second cookie into their mouth while they're still chewing on the first.' According to field data, individual Americans also possess a winning ability to ignore the problems plaguing the nation and content themselves with sitting down in front of a television and drinking an entire six-pack of Coors Light while watching people dance. Joel Anderson, a research assistant on the project, said the study changed his own preconceived notions about Americans. 'Sure they were loud and obnoxious and pathetic, but they were basically harmless, and we kind of liked having them around,' he said. 'Even when they smashed our lab equipment you couldn't really stay mad at them for long. I mean, c'mon, look at them.' 'The way they waddle around in their little fat pants?' Anderson added. 'Tell me that's not adorable.' The study's conclusions contradict a 2004 University of Massachusetts survey that found Americans were selfish, intolerant assholes who should eat shit and die. 
2	What Queen Elizabeth Just Did For Donald Trump Makes Obama Look Like An Idiot One of the many baseless arguments liberals have about President-elect Donald Trump is that he will somehow not earn the of world leaders. Time and time again, theyve asserted that the rest of the world is furious about Trumps election victory. But the actions of major leaders throughout the world are telling a very different story. According to reports, Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain has extended a Trump a formal invitation to meet with her in the United Kingdom. This is a grand gesture for Her Highness. Great Britain is one of our countrys most powerful allies, so this invitation speaks volumes about the future of this country in Trumps hands. One can infer that Queen Elizabeth is determined to affirm Great Britains relationship with the United States. And of coursethe meeting comes at a crucial time, given that Great Britain recently made the controversial decision to leave the European Union. 
2	Sweden Deports 80,000 Muslim Refugees Linked To Violence According to recent reports, Sweden is gearing up to deport 80,000 migrants who arrived in the country last year and had their asylum applications denied. According the countrys Interior Minister, Anders Ygemen, the Swedish government has asked the police and other agencies to both organize and enforce their removal. The order comes at a time when Europe is continuing to struggle with the consequences of the migrant influx. Recent figures note that 55% of asylum seekers in Sweden have had their application approved. The remaining applications have been denied. Still, Sweden remains one the European Unions largest recipients of migrants over the last yearaccepting more than 160,000 asylum seekers in 2015. Following a string of violence, officials in Sweden have called for stricter security at asylum centers. The measure was likely sparked by the recent stabbing and death of an employee working at an asylum center. What do you think of Swedens decision? 
3	Shadow Government Would Thrive With Romney as PresidentBrandon Turbeville Yet it is the Republican field, partly because of the primary races and partly because of the demographic makeup of its supporters, that inspires such an I support Israel more than you do, contest at every debate. Indeed, it has been hard to tell which candidate (when all were still in the race) was the loudest supporter of Israel at any given time. However, during the course of the circus known as American political debates, when platform policies did not seem convincing enough to some members of the audience, there were at least two candidates who began to play the established friendship card as a method to demonstrate their already-developed sense of Israeli-American relations. One of these instances was at a Republican debate on December 12, 2011where Newt Gingrich, in a testy exchange with Mitt Romney after his claim that the Palestinians were an invented people, stated that he had known Benjamin Netanyahu since 1984. Romney countered that statement with the fact that he also knew Netanyahu, after having worked together many years ago at a consulting firm. Nevertheless, both of these statements were made as a matter of fact. Yet, most likely due to the context in which the comments were made, as well as the nature of the mainstream media, for several months there was no attempt to uncover just how close these three individuals actually are. Gingrich holds connections to Netanyahu through relatively obvious means as both were political leaders in their respective countries at the same time. Not only that, but Gingrich and Netanyahu share a common fundraiser, Sheldon Adelson, who is often considered one of the richest men in the world by mainstream sources. Mitt Romneys connection goes back a bit further, however, and the friendship between the two men seems to be much more personal. In fact, the relationship is so coincidental that one might be justified in wondering whether or not this friendship actually began as some kind of intelligence/shadow government operation where both men were being groomed for their respective posts as they exist currently and may develop in the future. It certainly wouldnt be the first time a President has been groomed by the intelligence community for his future position. Of course, at this point, the evidence is only circumstantial. Still, considering what we know about the operations of the Shadow Government, it would be wise to remain aware of these connections. Upon arriving at BCG, the two men had already developed quite a reputation for themselves, as Romney was the son of a Michigan Governor and former Presidential candidate; and Netanyahu had recently completed a tenure with the elite special forces unit of the Israeli military. Both Romney and Netanyahu have publicly recalled the days when they were coworkers at BCG. As Barbaro writes: Mr. Romney, never known for his lack of self-confidence, still recalls the sense of envy he felt watching Mr. Netanyahu effortlessly hold court during the firms Monday morning meetings, when consultants presented their work and fielded questions from their colleagues. The sessions were renowned for their sometimes grueling interrogations. He was a strong personality with a distinct point of view, Mr. Romney said. I aspired to the same kind of perspective. Quoting Netanyahu in reference to the same period, the article reads, His star, the prime minister said of Mr. Romneys time at Boston Consulting, had already risen. Both men spent two years at BCG with Romneys tenure lasting from 1975-1977 and Netanyahus affiliation with the company running from 1976-1978. While still attached to BCG, Netanyahu returned to Israel to create an anti-terrorism foundation, while Romney famously switched companies to notorious asset stripper Bain Company where he helped destroy the businesses and lives of thousands of people. In yet another interesting coincidence, during his time at Bain, Romney worked closely with Netanyahus second wife, Fleur Cates. Although Bibi and Fleur later divorced, the New York Times reports that she and Romney are still in contact with one another. The connections between Romney and Netanyahu have persisted, evolving into what Barbaro describes in his article as a network of friends. Network is an definitely an interesting term in this context and it may be more accurate than Barbaro intended it to be. Nevertheless, after Romneys election as the Governor ofMassachusetts, Netanyahu paid him a visit where the two men allegedly discussed various aspects of government life, specifically the hallmarks of union-busting, asset stripping, and privatization, policies both men have such a fondness for. A few years later, Romney himself traveled to Israel where the two men met in the Old City inJerusalemand allegedly discussed economics. At this discussion, Netanyahu told Romney that he was engaging in a campaign to discourage American pension funds from investing in companies connected to Iran. At this statement, Romney immediately saw the wisdom of his action and organized meetings between Netanyahu and American government officials. Romney then embarked on his own campaign of politically motivated investment strategies by sending out letters to legislators suggesting they sell off all assets of corporations doing business with Iran held by any pension funds under their control. Unfortunately, Americas irrational support of Israel will not change regardless of who is elected in November. Obama, with the exception of some very mild rhetoric, could scarcely be more cooperative with Israeli Government interests; and Romney is quite open about his willingness to be drawn into WWIII. This is to be expected since both men are public representatives for the same agenda, just like their predecessors. Because of this fact, it would be very interesting to investigate just what Romneys ties to the intelligence community may be. After all, he has openly professed his parallel vision with the mad dog of the Middle East, Bibi Netanyahu. As Romney has stated, We can almost speak in shorthand. We share common experiences and have a perspective and underpinning which is similar. Of course, it should also be pointed out that Romney and Obamas loyalty to Israeli interests does not equal loyalty to the Israeli people, who are only being used as the battering rams and triggers of destabilization and world war. Nor do the American people factor into this equation as anything but financiers and warm bodies for future military adventures. With the obvious oppression of the Palestinian people, we see a clear recipe for a lose-lose-lose situation all the way around, except for the very small cliques at the top who will laugh, as they always do, all the way to the bank.

3	ZigBee Radio Transmitter: How Many Do You Have?By Catherine J. Frompovich Every person reading this probably has numerous ZigBees already, but doesnt know it! How can you have something you dont know you have? Give up? Clue: Smart technology! Every smart appliance in your home has whats called a ZigBee radio transmitter installed by the manufacturer, which spies on your usage and reports back to Big Brother, i.e., the utility company for now, but will tie into the Internet of Things in the very near future. The ZigBee chip allows each appliances electronic signature to be recorded so utilities and others, who track your data, can determine which appliance is being used, length of time, etc. thereby providing a profile of when you are home or someones in the house using appliances, plus the awful realization that your information relay can be HACKED by any two-bit hacker for any nefarious reason: burglary, surveillance, or whatever. ZigBee radio transmitters are the smart genies in AMI Smart Meters that electric, natural gas and water utility companies retrofit to replace safe analog meters. AMI Smart Meter ZigBees also are working hard at emitting electromagnetic frequencies EMF radiation in all directions by utilizing the microwave frequency of 2.4 GHz that radiates out for approximately 250 feet; some claim up to 100 meters or 300 feet! I bet you didnt know that about that new digital meter the utility company forced you to take, or maybe didnt even tell you that they installed. Some homes can have all three (electric, gas, water) AMI Smart Meters! How does that amplify your EMF exposure? Have you felt differently and not your normal self since the new meter was installed? The only reason is to control and operate all dumb smart appliances every household either has now or will have in the future! The ZigBee is a combined chip device containing a transmitter, receiver and antenna radio circuit that sends back to the utility the consumers usage data, plus is capable of receiving instructions from the utility company too. Think forced brown outs during peak summer air conditioner usage or turning off your utility service for whatever reason the utility elects. The ZigBee radio transmitter NEVER sleeps; constantly produces EMFs; and you cant turn it off, like you can your cell phone or computer. Basically, with your AMI Smart Meter ZigBee youre living inside a microwave-oven-like atmosphere, since the AMI Smart Meter ZigBee operates at 2.4 GHz microwave frequency and radiates out for 250 to 300 feet! Plus all the added ZigBees radiation from your appliances! Now, what do you think about all that smart technology? Isnt it pretty dumb that we have bought into it hook-line-and sinker? Not me! I have only a PC computer. The sad fact about the ZigBee chip is that manufacturers protect it indefinitely by tying it into the smart appliance warranty. If you remove the ZigBee chip, the appliance warranty becomes null and void. However, I can foresee a time when states or federal legislation probably will be in place providing penalties and fines for removing ZigBee chips, especially when Big Brother Uncle Same gets the Internet of Things up, running and tied into the data collection bank for every household in the USA probably run by the NSA Utah Data Center.

2	School Allows Boy To Use Girls Bathroom... Then Chaos Erupts According to recent reports, a Texas school board meeting broke into a heated debate on Tuesday night, as parents gathered in support of keeping gender-specific bathrooms intact. Fort Worth Independent School District Superintendent Kent Scribner recently created a policy to allow transgender students to choose the bathroom that corresponds with the gender they identify with, despite what it says on their birth certificate. He didnt realize that the announcement would result in immediate backlash from the community. Many concerned parents and community members took to the stage the express their outrage. Chris Sullivan was one of those commenters, expressing his frustration that parents and taxpayers were not consulted about the issue. He argued that the policy should be put before the citizens for a vote. Parents accused Scribner of passing his own agenda without considering the rights of parents. Another speaker questioned why the decision was instituted behind closed doors, without a vote by the board and without parents input. In fact, one poll revealed that 82% of the 300 polled in the area were against the policy. Protecting our children should be the first priority, Bo French commented. I demand an immediate and full repeal of this policy. What do you think of Scribners policy? 
2	White House In Panic Mode After Michelle Obama Is Engulfed In Scandal As the investigation of Hillary Clinton and her private email scandal is winding down, its just been discovered that Michelle Obama may have been involved in an email scandal of her own. The American Medical Association (AMA) released an obesity study last year that revealed that rates have actually changed less than they did in the previous decade. Rather than processing that information, Michelles reps decided to claim that obesity in children between ages 2 and 5 fell from 13.9% to 8.4%. Newly released emails show the White House pressuring the CDC and the Department of Health and Human Services to focus on this stat and virtually ignored the rest. Well our press release is skewed to highlight the good news per HHS request, Karen Hunter, the senior press officer of the CDC wrote. This release will have a first lady quote and they are mainly wanting to focus on the declineduring the current administration. I am thrilled at the progress weve made over the last few years in obesity rates among our youngest Americans, Michelle said in her statement. With the participation of kids, parents, and communities in Lets Move! These last four years, healthier habits are beginning to become the new norm. What do you think? Is Michelle as big of a liar as her husband is?

2	Pentagon Attacks Trey Gowdy, Because He Refuses To Abandon Persecution Of Hillary... He Needs Your Support For the past few months, presidential debates have stolen the media spotlight. But that hasnt stopped Rep. Trey Gowdy from working hard behind the scene to chronicle the true events of the Benghazi attacks. Clinton supporters have been quick to point out that the House Selection Committee on Benghazi has been at work for two years, and hasnt yet completed its mission. Chairman Gowdy has pushed back on these claims, arguing that it is the White Houses lack of cooperation that has delayed the investigation into the terrorist attacks. Most recently, he wrote a scathing letter to Defense Secretary Ash Carter, claiming that the Pentagon chief and one of his top lieutenants, 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, he concluded. That is your prerogative. It will not prevent this Committee from interviewing all witnesses who can help us write the final, definitive accounting of what happened before, during and after the attacks that killed four Americans in Benghazi and injured others. It will just prolong the investigation. What do you think of Gowdys letter? 
1	Shooting 56 percent from the field so far this season and completing an astounding 49 of his last 65 shots, LeBron James has recently taken his game to another level in a transparent and paltry attempt to win widespread admiration, sources confirmed Tuesday. In typical fashion, LeBron is shamelessly trying to get everyone to like him, said ESPNs Stephen A. Smith, who mentioned that it was pitiful to see James pulling publicity stunts such as improving his rebounding skills and shooting more consistently than any basketball player in history. Its sad enough to see him scoring points at will, but when hes also locking down on defense, making all his teammates look better, and generally improving every facet of his game, it just looks desperate. Smith added that at least James had toned back his pathetic antics since last season, when the 9-time all star practically begged for praise by winning an NBA championship. 
3	Welcome to Crazy TownCharlie McGrath, Contributor Of course, this was just a practice run to get the crazy nation shock troops ready to defend freedom when NATO and a bunch of dignitaries come to town in a few weeks. But, looking at some of the other material being purchased for the event, it becomes clear that the real threat is the people. Portable high security barriers, portable light towers, crowd control barriers and Blackhawks packed with combat-ready troops. A scene torn from the pages of Orwells 1984, except this isnt a work of fiction; its the new norm in crazy nation. Of course crazy nation doesnt stop there. Only in an insane nation can the General Services Administration (GSA) drop nearly a million dollars on a fundraiser while 46,800,000 people are relying on food stamp assistance to feed themselves. In case you were wondering, the funds wasted on the bash could instead have been used to cover over a hundred of those food stamp recipients for nearly two and a half years. Only in crazy nation can a health care bill lead to the expansion of the IRS by 16,000 agents. Those additional enforcement specialists wont go to waste, though, because its time to start the strong-arm tactics needed to finance Rome as it burns. In fact, the terror tactics seem to be so drastic it is even scaring some of the enforcers. According to a recent report, an IRS compliance officer was told to show no mercy this year, to disallow everything, and, the officer reported, Its frightening. Out of control Secret Service, Government employees are partying like students on spring break, DHS on an ammo buying binge and the IRS ready to drop the hammer on what is remaining of a shell-shocked middle class. Hold on tight; when this system comes apart it is going to give new meaning to the phrase EPIC FAIL. Charlie McGrath runs WideAwakeNews.com and is a host on Rense Radio network.

1	Calling on his team to use the forces of tension and compression to their advantage, Golden State Warriors head coach Mark Jackson reportedly implored his players Wednesday to play like a suspension bridge. We need to go out there tonight and play like were connecting Yerba Buena Island and Emeryville for 48 straight minutes, said Jackson, asking his players to show their opponent they are capable of bearing dead, live, and dynamic loads by shifting them from the woven wires through the towers and onto the anchors where they can dissipate into the earth. I want to see you hustling like youve got two decks of traffic running along you, and I want you manning up on defense like youre more adept at maintaining structural integrity during earthquakes. Remember, as a team youre all eyebars holding up cables individually, so if just one of you quits for a play this entire thing is going to collapse. Following a disappointing first half, Jackson reportedly told his team they looked more like a tubular bridge. 
1	In a surprising disclosure of tactics before his teams World Cup match against Germany, U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard announced Thursday that he will frantically wave his arms around and yell at teammates prior to any corner kick. As soon as everyone is in the box, Ill just start pointing at various opposing players while screaming at my defenders with one hand cupped around my mouth, said Howard, stressing that he will also yell Hey! repeatedly while gesturing toward anyone not being marked tightly by a U.S. player. Ill also try to shove away any guys from the other team crowding me at the goal line, before eventually running out and trying to punch the ball away as hard as I can. And I will repeat this process for every single corner kick in the match. Howard refused to confirm his plans for any free kicks on his goal, but hinted that they may involve leaning on the goalpost and repeatedly pointing either left or right while staring at his wall of defenders. 
1	Just days after accepting full responsibility for a wreck that knocked Clint Boyer and Carl Edwards out of the Pocono 500, Tony Stewart said he had put the incident behind him and was focusing his energies on the possible fatal crashes he could cause in the upcoming Allstate 400 at the Brickyard. 'Indy is a great track with a lot of history, and I'd love to add to that history by running someone's car full-speed into the wall in the short-chutes after Turns 1 and 3, or spinning them down pit lane, or even bumping them into the infield, and killing them,' Stewart told reporters shortly after arriving at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. 'I'd also love to win, if possible, but I have to run my own race.' NASCAR's Competition Committee has already issued a warning to Stewart advising him to 'refrain from making incendiary comments' and to 'save that sort of thing for the racetrack.' 
3	Terrorist group puts out propaganda report claiming Iran secretly advancing nuclear weapons programMadison Ruppert, Contributor In their latest report, which a top U.S. nuclear expert already said should be treated with great skepticism according to Haaretz, claims that there are 60 scientists and engineers currently playing a role in the alleged Iranian nuclear weapons program. Of course, in reality, the United States Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta has confirmed that Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons on multiple occasions. Similarly, the United States intelligence community does not have any evidence indicating that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons. Even the Israeli military chief Benny Gantz shares this position, making the claims from the NCRI highly suspicious at best. The NCRIs track record is far from one which would inspire confidence in the accuracy of their claims. Since the revealed that uranium enrichment was occurring at the Natanz facility in 2002, they have essentially been unable to produce anything other than propaganda intended to push the international community into attacking Iran and/or ousting Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The six-page report was shown to Reuters and it cited sources allegedly in the Iranian government and military who claim that a massive team of around 60 individuals are actively pursuing research related to nuclear weapons across 11 agencies, all operating in secret under the control of the defense ministry. One can make any manner of wild claims while citing supposed insider sources. As long as the details cant be verified and thus, cannot be falsified they can never be challenged. Unfortunately, some people seem to apply this knowledge selectively, in some cases choosing to give credence to claims made with no evidence while categorically dismissing such claims in other cases. Information [] shows that the clerical regime has expanded the organization responsible for nuclear weapons development, said the report. This finding reveals a complete and elaborate, and highly [] secret research structure and a network for procurement of the required parts and equipment. So far, the identities of 60 directors and experts working in various parts of the New Defense Research Organization and 11 institutions and companies affiliated with it have been detailed, the report added. Now, this mind sound compelling, but the simple fact is: not a single one of these claims can be substantiated. If I told you my high-level government contacts inside the Pentagon told me that all canines are actually hybrid robot-aliens sent to siphon the psychic energy of humans, would you believe me? While that obviously sounds absurd to many people, but there is just as much evidence to support claims such as these as there is to support the claims made by this terrorist group. Interestingly, the document took a tactic right out of the U.S. government playbook creating diagrams supposedly showing the hidden command structure, scientists and engineers involved in this alleged secret program. These sound much like the completely fraudulent diagrams and drawings created in order to trick people into buying the justification for invading Iraq. The NCRI has called on the United Nations nuclear watchdog agency the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to carry out a robust probe into the Iranian nuclear program and all involved. While it is often claimed that Iran is blocking an IAEA investigation, this approach is ludicrous given that Israel refuses to allow any of their facilities to be inspected. The antagonistic Israeli approach to the Iranian nuclear program is far from constructive and is blatantly hypocritical to the point of absurdity. Hopefully the West can begin to use at least something resembling reason and logic in this situation, or else I fear we might be heading towards a confrontation the likes of which the world has never seen. As always I hope, above all, that I am completely wrong and that these tensions quickly dissolve and the world can move forward into an era free of incredibly destructive nuclear weapons technology.

2	Obama Desperately Trying To Hide THIS About The Dallas Shooter Americans everywhere are mourning the loss of 5 polices officers, and 7 more who were injured in a tragic shooting in Dallas during the Black Lives Matter protest on Thursday night. NBC News reported that Dallas Police Chief David Brown, the black gunman, told hostage negotiators that he wanted to kill white people. The suspect justified his actions because of the anti-cop responses to the recent shootings of two innocent African American men. We believe these suspects were positioning themselves in a way to triangulate on these officers from two different perches in garages in the downtown area, and planned to injure and kill as many law enforcement officers as they could, Brown stated at a news conference after the shooting. Brown went on to say that the shooter told hostage negotiators that the end is coming and that there are bombs all over the place in this garage and downtown. After they heard that comment, police made the executive decision to kill him with a remote-controlled detonation. The good news: hes gone off the face of the Earth, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said. What do you think? Does this anti-cop rhetoric need to stop now? Does Obama need to stop pushing his race-baiting agenda? (((James Del Rey))) (@JimDelRey) July 8, 2016 
3	What Does It Mean to Prepare for the Economic Collapse?Daisy Luther, Contributor All of this leads me to reconfirm my belief that people sincerely do not understand why we do what we do, and that ignorance leads to fear. Am I saying that preppers are all visionaries and sages? Not in a mystical Joan of Arc sense but I am saying that preppers are willing to see the writing on the wall and search for a deeper understanding. If you dont think this is realistic, then you arent paying attention to the world around you. People have this image of hunger they see it as the skeletal dark-skinned children in some third world country, bellies protruding as malnutrition sets in. But the face of hunger and poverty today is as close as your next door neighbor. Millions of North Americans can barely afford to put their next meal on the table. They are living in their cars, if theyre lucky, and without shelter if they are not so lucky. For many people the economic collapse has arrived. Their end of the world event has already occurred in the form of a job loss, the foreclosure of the family home, or an illness that has caused such massive personal debt that there is truly no way out of it. Less than 60% of Americans who are of age to be in the work force have a full time job. When you tally that, it means that more than 100 million people are out of work. More than 100 million people in the United States have no jobs. For more than 100 million people, the economic collapse has arrived in full force. Meanwhile, as people all over the globe (think Greece, Italy, Spain, Argentina, the UK) struggle with high rates of unemployment, the prices of everything have gone up. People are struggling to keep such simple necessities as running water and electricity. Grocery costs have skyrocketed the World Bank released a statement that global food prices increased by 10% in ONE MONTH July 2012. And its only going to get worse the Farm Bill was blocked by the US House of Representatives, and this means that the prices will skyrocket, as farms are no longer subsidized. This will cause the industry to revert to the Agricultural Act written in 1949, meaning that the government is obligated to purchase dairy products from farmers at a cost that is twice what they are receiving now this means that the price of a gallon of milk may skyrocket in January to as much as $8 per gallon. This is not an endorsement of government subsidies this is a simple cause and effect observation to explain the reason people will be shocked when they go to the dairy case come January. The price of food is increasing rapidly and dramatically. Mac Slavo, of SHTFplan, wrote, When you read the above information, the case becomes clear for stocking a long-term food storage pantry. It makes personal economic sense to purchase commodities like grains for your family at todays prices to be consumed when the price skyrockets even further. It seems, from some of the comments Ive seen and received from non-preppers, that stockpiling food is acceptable, if somewhat eccentric. But being able to defend that food is strictly out of the question. For example: So, this leads us to the next misconception about preppers why do many prepared individuals feel that there might be social collapse to go along with the economic collapse? Why do they feel that in the wake of a disaster that they and their families could be threatened? There are very good, well-documented reasons for this. Recent history tells us that frightened, hungry people become desperate and often violent. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, CNN reported that the city was under siege. A similar experience occurred after Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast in October. The unmitigated violence and looting had residents terrified, especially after dark. Via Twitter, people actively planned looting parties as the storm bore down on the area, according to a report by Paul Joseph Watson. One resident described the scene to the Huffington Post. People are turning on each other theyre attacking each other. Even when theres no disaster, this building is disastrous. But after the hurricane, it just got crazy. Unfortunately, it isnt just in the wake of a disaster that the need for personal security is rising. As the economy plummets, violent crime is in the upswing. In 2011, the overall rate of violent crime increased by 18%. (The numbers arent in yet for 2012. As funding to police departments is reduced, the criminals have a larger window of opportunity. The police are throwing up their hands in defeat they feel that they cannot protect people. In Detroit, the police department warned people to enter the city at their own risk as budget cuts result in fewer police and shorter hours of operation. As the economic collapse increases and more and more people are going hungry, the need for proper security and self defense will also increase in a direct ratio, particularly for those who live in highly populated areas. Desperation breeds crime. People must educate themselves on the relationship between economic need and violent crime. Only then can they make a reasonable (and morally acceptable) plan to protect themselves and their families. The economic collapse is not some far-fetched, end-of-the-world fantasy. It is the reality that is occurring all around us, incrementally. The collapse that has been occurring since 2008 has been one of 1000 small cuts as income goes down and expenses go up. Ask the people in Greece whether they regret not having stocked up on food supplies when those supplies were abundantly available. Ask the people in Argentina whether they feel the need to be armed against roving gangs and home invaders violent crime increased by 35% in one year. One study went so far as to call property crime a tool of redistribution: This stuff is not fantasy I have provided links to support every fact I have mentioned in this article. Hunger, cold, crime and fear are the daily realities in many countries that once enjoyed a similar standard of living to that of the average North American. That debt-based standard of living is unsustainable, though, and you must be able to connect these trends with what is happening in your own country in order to see the need for preparation. I dont live in fear I live in security, knowing that through my personal responsibility, my trust in my own instincts and my faith, I have done everything possible to protect my family from poverty, hunger and crime. If you arent currently prepared, I hope that the facts and statistics Ive provided cause you to consider doing the same thing. 
3	UN Grocery List: Bread, Milk, Grubs, Beetles, MaggotsDaisy Luther Have you ever read about a survival scenario where a kidnapping victim, a forgotten prisoner, or lost hikerwas forced to choke down insects in order to survive? Did it sound repulsive? Demeaning? Even sub-human? Well, welcome to your life ifthe United Nations has anything to do with it. Our friends at the United Nations have released a report that promises a solution to world hunger: Edible insects: Future prospects for food and feed security. According to an article about the report that appeared on Time.com, the UN is asking us to consider how underutilized insects are as potential food for livestock, or the ways insect consumption could benefit the environment. The original report notes that insects feed conversion rate is fairly high (wed get more for less, in other words), they could be raised on organic side-streams like human/animal waste, they emit fewer greenhouse gases and ammonia than animals like cattle and pigs, and they need much less water than the latter. If you needed more evidence that the elite and those in charge at the UN think of the rest of us as somewhat lesser beings, this is it. The UNs Food and Agriculture Organization touts another environmental benefit of farming insects they eat poop. Aside from their nutritional value, farming insects could considerably benefit the environment. According to the FAO, insects emit fewer greenhouse gases and need less land or water than cattle when farmed. As cold-blooded creatures they are very efficient in converting feed to protein, needing 12 times less feed than cattle in order to produce the same amount. They also feed on human and animal waste, and can transform this into protein. (source) This suggestion that everyday people be reduced to consuming insects that are fed excrement is part of thehijacked green movement, cloaked under the guise of sustainable development. World leaders and fake environmental groups are doctoring science and conveying propaganda through tools like the media and the school systems. The development that is going to be sustained with their plan is not the development of everyday people like you and me. It is not the development of struggling families who dont even have clean water to drink. It is the development of the elite and their heirs. The thing that is so insidious about the UN is that they cloak their motives in an air of benevolence. They garner the whole-hearted support of the unaware by their word choices, their propaganda, and their warm politically correct facade. The people of the world are being willingly, happily led off a cliff, while being lulled by the UN Scheherazade. (learn more about the UN) Through Agenda 21 and the United Nations, the elite are attempting to brainwash the entire world to believe that allowing them to control the resources of the earth will be in our best interest. I would be willing to bet that grass-fed beef and free range chickens will still make their way to the groaning banquet tables of the wealthy. Clearly, indigenous people around the world have consumed insects as part of their diet. However, do you believe they farm those insects and purposely feed them feces? There is an enormous difference between the UNs proposition and the foraging methods that are employed by hunter-gatherers across the globe. If the United Nations was truly concerned about the well-being and health of the hungry people of the world, wouldnt they be teaching sustainable farming methods? Wouldnt they be promoting urban gardening, micro-livestock, and handing out heirloom seed packets? Wouldnt they be cracking down on companies like Monsanto and Dow, who are poisoning much of the farmland of the world with their toxic seeds and pesticides? This ispure Agenda 21resource management and the purpose is to remove more resources from the hands of the poor and reallocate them to the wealthy. If you are truly worried about world hunger, the answer is teaching food self-sufficiency. It is diverting gray water to the garden. It is learning to save seeds from one season to the next. It is using farming methods that feed your soil. It is the avoidance of toxic chemicals. It is urban farming techniques. It is learning how to work with ones specific environment. It is the means to harvest and store water from multiple sources. It is true education, not brainwashing behind a disguise of benevolence, land grabs, and the presentation of dehumanizing options in a trendy new light.

3	Syrian Infighting May Be Pretext for Expanded InterventionA strategy of tension created by divisions among foreign-funded fighters may give West an opportunity to increasingly back good terrorists versus bad terrorists. Geopolitical analyst Eric Draister on PressTV explained what is behind recent infighting between foreign-funded fighters battling along and within Syrias borders. It is suggested that a new narrative is in the making, portraying good terrorists locked in battle with bad terrorists, thus providing a new context within which the West can continue arming and funding terrorist groups waging war on Syria. While the West will maintain that the conflict in Syria began as peaceful protests, readers should keep in mind that Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh in his article, The Redirection: Is the Administrations new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism? 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 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. There is evidence that the Administrations redirection strategy has already benefited the Brotherhood.The Syrian National Salvation Front is a coalition of opposition groups whose principal members are a faction led by Abdul Halim Khaddam, a former Syrian Vice-President who defected in 2005, and the Brotherhood. A former high-ranking C.I.A. officer told me, The Americans have provided both political and financial support. The Saudis are taking the lead with financial support, but there is American involvement. He said that Khaddam, who now lives in Paris, was getting money from Saudi Arabia, with the knowledge of the White House. (In 2005, a delegation of the Fronts members met with officials from the National Security Council, according to press reports.) A former White House official told me that the Saudis had provided members of the Front with travel documents. The New York Times would then confirm in its June 2012 article, C.I.A. Said to Aid in Steering Arms to Syrian Opposition, that (emphasis added): A small number of C.I.A. officers are operating secretly in southern Turkey, helping allies decide which Syrian opposition fighters across the border will receive arms to fight the Syrian government, according to American officials and Arab intelligence officers. The weapons, including automatic rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, ammunition and some antitank weapons, are being funneled mostly across the Turkish border by way of a shadowy network of intermediaries including Syrias Muslim Brotherhood and paid for by Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the officials said. The US State Department itself would confirm the presence of nation-wide operations as early as November 2011 by Al Qaedas Syrian franchise, in its December 2012 Terrorist Designations of the al-Nusrah Front as an Alias for al-Qaida in Iraq, which stated: 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. Clearly, from 2009, long before the US-created Arab Spring was entered into the international lexicon, the US and its regional partners had begun tangibly preparing for the violent overthrow of the Syrian government via the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda fighters imported into the country. For anyone seeking a genuine solution to the rampant violence destroying Syria, they would look to cut off entirely foreign fighters and supporting Damascus in restoring order and stability to the country.

2	Illegal Immigrants Dressed As US Marines March Across The Border According to recent reports, Border Patrol agents recently caught and arrested 13 illegal immigrants who were disguised as United States Marines. The men were riding in a fake military van at the time, and were dressed in full Marine uniform when they were apprehended at the Campo Border Patrol Westbound I-8 checkpoint. According to official reports, two United States citizens who were also in the van were arrested. The white van was subjected to secondary inspection, at which time it was determined that the driver of the vehicle and the man in the passenger seat were citizens who were attempting to smuggle more than a dozen illegal immigrants of the border. All of the passengers wore United States Marine uniforms with the name Perez written on them. The van was bearing stolen government plates that had been altered slightly. The original plate belonged to a cargo van registered to the United States Marine Corps. This effort is an example of the lengths smugglers will go to avoid detection, and the skilled and effective police work and vigilance displayed everyday by Customs and Border Protection personnel, the Border Patrol agency said in a written statement. What do you think? Should these men be punished? 
3	Why Are Food Prices So High?Holly Deyo For the past three years drought has decimated Texas cattle herds by over 2 million head. Now Californias cattle are getting smacked. This is small potatoes by comparison, but last year South Dakota lost 30,000 head frozen in a single November blizzard. Our neighbor to the south, Mexico, lost 1.7 million head in 2011 due to drought. There are other cattle losses as well, but theres not time to document them all. It used to be that cattle herds took about 3 years to replenish. Experts stated this week it could take the rest of this decade 6 years to rebuild Americas beef and dairy livestock. Thats double the norm. Meanwhile, food prices continue to ramp up. Thats if no more catastrophes descend. How much do you want to bet on a lucky break? In the first 3 months of this year, 1/3 of the U.S. is in USDA-declared crop disaster areas. Gas prices are moving up again with Brent Crude kissing a $100/barrel yesterday. It costs more money to move produce, dairy and meat from farmer to fork. Also, more countries are eating better so farmers ship more food to other nations. This puts a squeeze on our supply. Then theres the idiocy of bio-fuels, which takes another bite from food stocks. However, the most direct and dire cause of rising food prices is unquestionably weather disasters. MITIGATION Having your own garden helps counteract rocketing food prices. All you need is a bit of space, some know-how and a little time. Frankly, Id rather be outside messing in the garden, soaking up the Sun, doing what we can to provide in the face of Natures fury, and helping plants spring to life than read depressing news. Its like my girlfriends phone recording: Hey, Im out playing in the dirt. Leave a message! DESIGNING YOUR GARDEN GOLD Stan and I practice what we preach and have greatly expanded our veggie gardens this year. In fact, from 8 years ago, theyve doubled in size. Some of the harvest will be canned, some frozen, some eaten fresh, some given to friends and some taken to the homeless shelter. Nothing will go to waste. We see hard times coming this year and having an ample garden is one way to fight back. Image: This year we really concentrated on what we like to eat and grow just that. Figures 1, 2 and 3 show the layout of this years gardens. Weve expanded them considerably in light of much higher food prices. It will save money in the long run. See the first article in this series, How to Beat Coming Killer Food Shortages. Since we grow organically, we wont fall victim to repeated fruit and veggie recalls due to E. Coli, listeria and salmonella contamination. Numbers in red are the weeks that successive crops will be planted. For example, the first lettuce, carrot, radish and spinach seeds were sown on March 29. Second crop will be planted April 12 and the 3rd crop on April 26. For radishes, since they only take about a month to harvest, the 4th planting on May 10 will go where the March 29 seeds were and so on. For peas and other lettuces, well plant for Fall crops. THINK WITH THE BRAIN, NOT THE BELLY Last year, we had tons too many tomatoes, summer squash and zucchini and ended up giving away more than half of everything. Neighbors were happy to help us with this! We still have plenty of Jalapeos, Serranos and Big Jim/Nu Mex in the freezer from 2013, so this year, the garden will just grow Santa Fe chilies. Bell Peppers have a ton of uses whether theyre eaten fresh or grilled or included in salads, omelettes and kabobs. Extras at the end of season can be Ziplocked and frozen to make colorful tasty additions to soups and stews. Zucchinis over-produce for our use, so there will be just a couple of seedlings planted. Since we adore baked Acorn and Butternut squash weve allowed for plenty. They store for months and are super versatile. My favorite method is to slice them in half lengthwise, scoop out the seed goo, add a bit of butter, white wine and seasoning like Lawrys or even better, Red Robin. The flavor of a little sweet wine mixed with a hint of Red Robin zing? Yum. Bake them in water about 1/3 of the way up the squash until fork-tender. Baste occasionally. A clone for Red Robin Seasoning goes like this: Red Robin Seasoning Combine the ingredients in a small bowl and stir well. Store in a covered container. Makes 1/3 cup. Stan is a major fan of small watermelons, so were planting a bunch of Sugar Babies. Ditto for Holly on cantaloupe. The best ever is grown just a few miles away Rocky Ford. Yes, this is the same loupe involved in the 2011 listeria outbreak. Regardless, they are the sweetest cantaloupes on the planet. To be clear, Jensen Farms in Holly, Colorado that was responsible for the listeria drama is not the same as Rocky Ford Growers Assn. They are 100 miles apart. To further confuse things, Rocky Ford is both a place and the name of these luscious loupes. Image: The dotted line represents two different growing areas. The two old beds on the left are out by the orchard and the two new beds are about 50 feet off the back deck. We love Snap and Snow Peas and Green Beans and have been known to munch them straight off the vine. Plus, they freeze well. Since beans and peas are something we consume regularly, were planting a bunch. And then theres Pinto Beans. Stan and I must have Hispanic roots somewhere in another life because Tex-Mex is our favorite food bar none. Nothing beats a hair-raising, nosebleed-bitingly flavorful bit of really southern tucker. This brings us to that weird patch of cilantro in Figure 1. It is integral to many Tex-Mex meals. This stuff simply wont die out. It grew throughout winter with no water in sub-freezing temps. So for its faithfulness, we let it live, otherwise Id dig up this herb and replace it with a veggie. TIP: Spices can take up as much room as veggies. Economically speaking, its more cost-effective to buy them in bulk from Tones and save your space for fruits and vegetables. Besides Tones for dried bulk buys, check McCormick, Frontier Natural Products Co-op, Monterey Bay Spice Company and My Spice Sage. Weve purchased most of ours from the first three, not the last two. However, nothing beats the fragrance and flavor of fresh herbs and spices. KNOW WHEN TO FOLD EM Four years ago, we put in an asparagus bed with 47 crowns. Youd think thatd be plenty and then some. Mistakenly we thought multiple varieties would be clever. Not so. The Martha Washington, Jersey Giant and Jersey Knights were ready at different times. Some were thicker and some thinner, which meant they steamed at different times. There wasnt a single instance when more than 4 or 5 stalks were ready to harvest simultaneously. Not exactly a side dish for 2. It was a nice stalk here, 2 more there. Since we live in the high desert, it was a perpetual uphill fight to get them going productively, like pushing a boulder along with a toothpick. Plus, youre not supposed to harvest the first years crop. More waiting. Florence, a town just 30 minutes west of us, has them growing wild by the Arkansas River. When our neighbor lived there his mom sent Jerry nightly to pick all they needed for free. Lucky dog! If in having a practical, usable garden, some things are just too difficult and expensive to cultivate, yell calf rope! Enough already! This year, the asparagus patch now holds melons, cucumbers, broccoli and celery. CHANGE FOR THE BETTER, NOT OBAMAS HOPE CHANGE Dont be surprised if, over the years, your garden beds morph. This is what we started with in 2007: 6 44-foot beds. The strawberry bed is history. They didnt produce enough at the same time (like the asparagus) to warrant the space. Unless you have time every week to cut off runners, the bed soon becomes an overgrown, tangled mess. For fruit, these plants were replaced by raspberry, blueberry, grape and elderberry bushes on a berm not pictured. Also in the fruit department are 15 trees consisting of varieties of apple, peach, plum, pear and cherry. Photo: In eight years our gardens have changed considerably and doubled in size. The cedar beds (pictured above) didnt weather well in Colorados high altitude and strong UV. Gone are the chicken wire walls and cages. Where the 4 44 beds were on the left are now 2 44s and 1 48. The two decorative brick beds on the right have morphed into two more 48s. Our total bed space is this: 4 44s, 4 48s and one goofy-sized 67. We use recycled plastic and natural fiber board raised beds from Frame-It-All with nifty animal barriers. They also sell very cool attachable greenhouse tops and trellises. The image below of a Frame-It-All 48 bed is their older model for the animal barrier. Now where A is, it has a cap like on B. This allows for multiple 2-foot additions of animal barriers in case you have tall invaders! Numerous other companies manufacture similar raised bed kits. We just happened to land on Frame It All and stuck with them for continuity. You can also build your own as detailed in Garden Gold. All of our beds are 12 deep, which makes rotating crops no problem. If you use only a 4 or 6 high board, which holds just 3-5 inches of Super Soil, it makes growing potatoes, carrots and some other root veggies nearly impossible, so it greatly cuts down on the ability to rotate crops. With extra depth, there is always flexibility. Its vital that crops are rotated yearly to naturally prevent bug infestations. Not every bug likes the same veggie so if theyve visited cauliflower one year, next years crop of cauliflower needs to go in a different area. This is one of the main natural preventative techniques used by organic farmers. SIDEBAR TIP: Also changed is the 500-gallon propane tank pictured above. No, its not gone. When natural gas was made available to our area, we chose to go with it. However, weve kept the propane tank always filled for back-up fuel. In the event of a prolonged power outage as in months gas appliances can be switched back to propane. You cant believe how much less expensive it is to refill your BBQ canisters from this big tank. Its always available so if youre cooking and the 20-gallon BBQ tank is unexpectedly empty, its easy-peasy-cheapy to fill up. Back to gardening. Areas around the beds are now grassed in. That, combined with the Chinese bio-intensive growing method of planting everything close together keeps weeds at bay as theres no place for them to take root. In case youve read our accounts and saw this video of massive tumbleweed issues in southern Colorado, its best not to give their seeds a place to land. Its also easier on the feet and knees than surrounding beds with sharp, decorative rock. All it takes is a quick go with the Weedeater to keep grass in line. All thats left is for you to enjoy!

2	Retired Marine Forced To Remove Is USMC Decals While Neighbors Keep Obama Stickers The censorship of patriotic men and women in this country is outstanding. It seems that whenever someone wants to show their pride for our country they are treated like criminals. According to a recent appearance on CNN, retired marine Frank Larison recently received a letter by the HOA, ordering him to remove his marine stickers from his Chevy car. Frank and his lawyer claim that he will face $50 a day if he refuses to do so. If he does not play those fines, he will be towed. Frank claims that he has been shocked through the entire process. He loves America and only wanted to demonstrate his support for the American troops. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous?

3	Hillary Clintons Intelligence Surge Means More SpyingBy Mike Maharrey This wasnt the first time the Democratic presidential nominee has floated this idea. Last week, The Guardian published an in-depth article outlining Clintons plans to beef up the surveillance state. The surge concept actually dates back to last year, and was aimed at killing or capturing Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. But according to The Guardian, the plan has evolved from an idea of expanding intelligence assets directed against the Islamic State and its adjuncts to a broader initiative with a significant domestic component, aimed at uncovering and preventing attacks directed or inspired by terrorist groups. The domestic component of this so-called surge as described by The Guardian raises all kinds of red flags. Domestically, the principles of Clintons intelligence surge, according to senior campaign advisers, indicate a preference for targeted spying over bulk data collection, expanding local law enforcements access to intelligence and enlisting tech companies to aid in thwarting extremism. The campaign speaks of balancing acts between civil liberties and security, a departure from bothliberalandconservativearguments that tend to diminish conflict between the two priorities. Asked to illustrate what Clinton means by appropriate safeguards that need to apply to intelligence collection in the US, the campaign holds out a 2015 reform thatsplitthe civil liberties community as a model for any new constraints on intelligence authorities. The USA Freedom Act, acompromisethat constrained but did not entirely end bulk phone records collection, strikes the right balance, Rosenberger said. So those kinds of principles and protections offer something of a guideline for where any new proposals she put forth would be likely to fall. Clintons campaign is also examining expanding or reforming intelligence so-called fusion centers which gather, share and analyze information between federal, state and local law enforcement, which have been long criticized as both ineffective and dangerous to privacy. By touting the USA Freedom Act as the type of privacy protections she would adhere to, Clinton has signaled that she will, at best, maintain the status quo a massive unconstitutional surveillance state. At worst, the term surge seems to indicate even more unconstitutional spying on everyday Americans. In fact, while the USA Freedom Act was touted as a fix and was sold as a way to limit bulk surveillance, it actually increased the amount of information the NSA and other federal agencies can obtain. The overall volume of call detail records subject to query pursuant to court order is greater under USA Freedom Act, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence wrote in a fact sheeton its implementation of the law. The Atlanticsummarized the changes under new federal surveillance law. Under the old law, the Patriot Act, the NSA claimed it had the right to collect records on every U.S. phone call. But due to technical obstacles, the agency reportedly struggled to integrate cell-phone records into its database. With people increasingly relying on cell phones instead of landlines, the technical problems had caused a major gap in the NSAs database. Under the Freedom Act, the NSA was required to give up control of the database. Instead, the phone companies keep the records themselves, and the NSA can get court approval to search for particular records. But critically, the law includes a provision that requires phone companies to provide technical assistance to help the NSA access the data in a readable format. That provision ensures the NSA can access millions of cell-phone records that had previously been beyond its reach. Its important to note that court approval means the secret FISA Courts that operate with little oversight or accountability. Patrick Eddington of the Cato Institute summed up Clintons approach to surveillance perfectly. Apparently, Clinton is just fine with that completely ineffective, taxpayer money-wasting, and constitutionally dubious mass surveillance program. Not that Donald Trump offers a viable alternative. The Republican nominee has called for surveillance of certain mosques. The bottom line is neither candidate has any intention of rolling back the surveillance state, and will likely expand it. Ultimately, it will take state and local action to rein in Big Brother. What does the biped in pantsuits know about security, except how to sell to the highest bidder. 
3	South Carolina House Votes to Ban Warrantless Cellphone Trackingselfnews Post H4791 was introduced by Rep. Garry Smith (R-Greenville) and cosponsored by 39 other representatives, including the leadership of both parties. It reads, in part: A governmental entity may not obtain geolocation information revealing the past, present, or future location of an electronic device without a warrant, permission from the owner, or very limited emergency situations. H4791 would not only protect people in South Carolina from warrantless data gathering by state and local law enforcement, it will also end some practical effects of unconstitutional data gathering by the federal government. NSA collects, stores, and analyzes data on countless millions of people without a warrant, and without even the mere suspicion of criminal activity. The NSA tracks the physical location of people through their cellphones. In late 2013, the Washington Post reportedthat NSA is gathering nearly 5 billion records a day on the whereabouts of cellphones around the world. This includes location data on tens of millions of Americans each year without a warrant. The NSA expressly shares warrantless data with state and local law enforcement through a super-secret DEA unit known as the Special Operations Division (SOD). That information is being used for criminal prosecutions. A Reuters report last fall showed that most of this shared data has absolutely nothing to do with national security issues. Most of it involves routine criminal investigations. H4791 now moves on to the state senate, where it will first be assigned to a committee for approval before the full senate has an opportunity to concur.

We appreciate your readership and interaction. Contact us anytime HERE. In Peace. Love. Liberty. The selfnews Post Team Very nice.. Thank you! As AP has been the first site I visit most surfing sessions, and for a long time, I wanted to offer a first impression, that being that I liked your previous template much better visually. This new has much less immediacy for me, doesnt lead to me wanting to scroll down (and I also really miss the sidebar links to complementary sites). Feels sort of blah, and like Ive seen it before, whereas your longtime prior template was unique in look and feel, or so I deemed it. Good luck with it. I hope it will grow on me, but at the moment, am sorry you fixed what didnt seem broken. Thank you for the honest impression. Visuals and feel aside, there were some technical issues as well that really impacted site performance for some people especially on the mobile side. Well be tweaking here and there over the next bit of time, so well certainly take your comments into consideration. Thank you for being a loyal reader we really appreciate your support. A-MMM, The other critical posts above said it better than I, if more shrilly, i.e., the sites no longer a hub this way, with this new look lack of links. That is exactly one of the reasons it was my first click each session, the hub factor, with the other being that, the way it looked, the spacing of the articles (and APs talent in choosing and writing them), gave a great, concise overview of the latest developments in the alt./truth/liberty news world. Not so many posts as What Really Happened, for example, which is too much, too many, for me a lot of the time, as good as it is, and also not just a blog, like my own, for example. Not sure you understood what you had. Perhaps you hadnt gotten enough positive feedback about your site along the way, but youve lost your distinction, for now, anyway. Im sorry technical issues forced the change, but perhaps you might consider the feedback youre getting, and find a way to incorporate what we found notable and so compelling about your old site into your more technically adept new one? Please consider it. To others missing the links: use the Wayback Machine to find the site from just before the change and save the home page with the former look and all the links onto your computer as an html document. Also, just realized: Im sure hoping all the bookmarks Ive made of the old site still open in some form. Will they? J It looks really good! Good work, keep it up! Much appreciated! Easier to navigate. Thanks for listening. The old site was better. If its not broke why fix it? Where are the links? You can find them at the top of any page under Resources Okay, I liked the list of alternative news sources/ links on the right side now youve cut yourself out of the loopwho was the egocentric/control freak Einstein that suggested you delete it ???(erroneously assuming that people will focus entirely on your site?)this you will regret! as people will go elsewhere as incremental attrition will result on an unconscious level your readership will declineguaranteedif it aint broke dont fix it you used to be the HUBnow youre on the outside looking inimo Oh Edward we know you will always be on the inside, of fantasyland that is. Yes no links just articles on the right from this site. You can find Resources links at the top of every page http://www.activistpost.com/resources. And our must read links beneath articles on the home page. I echo Js sentiments this has always been a favourite site. Wow. I am just not getting it? I turned to alt media about three years ago, and I really dislike saying this, but all of my favorite sights have upgraded. Unfortunately, the joy of simple navigation has been placed on the back burner. Now it appears to be a conspiracy to get you to like through social media (which I do not participate) and to subscribe, so you can be bombarded by e-mails with every article they post, that I have already read. Oh, and then the sights that you have not subscribed to, you cannot even read through an entire article without be blasted to either like or subscribe. For non-establishment, it is becoming worse than the establishment! AND what does sort by best mean? best is by comments that receive the most likes.not a conspiracy Yes, love it! Well done Team. By not including those links you no longer act as a greater hub of information. Also, you have in effect stopped giving a number of writers the opportunity to contribute and have their work viewed en masse. -To that end I consider the new website to be a thoughtless action Did you have any idea what it meant to some of these people to have their voices heard? I can only agree with eddysachs comments. This is the kind of thing that corporations do so as to reduce the attention on the competitors keeping the contributors restricted to the club maybe AP has been sold surreptitiously to a Corporation part of the deal is not to alert the readership.cept they leak out all over the place.just an honest conjecture speculation.Hmmmmmmm WhatNO comment from the bruised egos of AP??? So sad Edward that you have to reply to yourself. Of course I bet you have to handle a lot of things by yourself. Do you have to pour a beer over your hand to get it drunk in order to get the job done eddy? Answered my own question from below: My bookmarks to posts on the old site DONT work. Good grief. I had a lot of them. Is this permanent? Cant be, right? If so, Thats terrible PR, and terrific loss of great stuff, if so, and so poorly conceived, as well, if true. I would think that would be, either, one of the highest priorities to accomplish when changing, or something that you would be mentioning in high profile way if it wasnt something you were planning to do, way ahead of time, so people might go back and save bookmarked posts articles another way. I sure hope you fix this. J UN-necessary upgrade.. YOU HAVE INTERRUPTED OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING with it.. Chant down Babylon ism schism! It wasnt broken.this is a mere skeleton of what AP used to be I liked the old website as far as the display of stories which were all on one page with the newest one at top of page going down to older ones at bottom. Better for me visually Much Simpler so at least I knew I wasnt missing anything. The new site confuses me. We have now made those changes, stories appear chronologically beginning with newest at the top of the page. Thank you for your comments. As a contributing writer (and voracious reader) of AP for three years, and having read all comments on this post, I most sadly concur with a few posts below. The deletion of external links is and was an ill-advised action. As one commentator phrased it, you used to be the HUB, I am inclined to agree. That I could come on to AP (first), and launch from here to other sites was very convenient. Of course, the operative phrase here is to AP (first), thereby granting that of course I read on AP first, and went to other sites only as time and desire allowed. As noted as well, your colour schematic is no longer unique. You had the perfect page colours that clearly defined AP, much as the golden arches define that purveyor of death food. The addition of You Might Also Like portion is saddening to see here. Those idiotic pictures and topics are anything but activist related. They are designed to draw people down the rabbit hole of oddities, aka misdirection. I wasnt aware the bodily construction of Japanese people constituted news designed to engage mental activity. By so doing, real news and thought provoking, eye-opening insights into the true state of events does not take place at all. You cant wake up by going to sleep. If you could provide a reply to Phils comment, Also, you have in effect stopped giving a number of writers the opportunity to contribute and have their work viewed en masse., I would be grateful. I dont assume he is correct and really dont even know why he would write that, but in the event there is substance to his statement , it would be nice to know. Lastly, in way of negative feedback, is your implementation of Disqus for comments. Disqus is well known to be of globalist origin and operates similar to Face Book. It is a tool whereby they can track, tag and bag individuals if the worst should come to pass. Its always best to post as a guest, which effectively neuters the programs goals as outlined above. Your old comment forum worked perfectly well. On a brighter note, as long as the articles remain true to the founding principles of AP, I will continue to utilize AP as my first foray into alt news. My primary reason to stay at this juncture is due to my respect for Michael Edwards. If hes gone, then so am I. At that point, AP would be just another alt site without distinction. All aside, I am grateful to AP and will remain so. This site, more than any other, has helped lift the blinders from my eyes and has been very kind in posting my articles. Many thanks to you all! Need the news links back ASAP..I will come here less and less over time if they are not put back on the site. Not a threat just a natural progression of how I have handled this type of downgrade in the past. Please do us all a favor and put the news links back. Thanks. You can find them at the top of every page under Resources http://www.activistpost.com/resources Thanks so much for your feedback. Here are some quick points to address a few concerns: 1. Our site was indeed broken and needed this upgrade. The long script caused very slow loading times for most users. 3. Obviously were not graphic designers, so we may run contest for a new logo. We really appreciate your feedback. Please continue to tell us your thoughts. Thank you for responding. Ive been reading AP for about 4.5 yrs and LOVE the site but am not too happy with the new look. I miss links to articles, the unique look of the old site and also where are so many of the old writers? Thank you for the kind words about the appearance today. We are listening. Please refer to my comment above which enumerates the latest changes. We will continue trying to improve. We really appreciate all input. Thanks again. Sorry for the delay. According to the webmaster: All bookmarks leading to AP URLs should still work, Thank you! 
3	Vaccinated Versus Unvaccinated Children 2016 Health Study Pulled From PublicationBy Catherine J Frompovich In the Abstracts Conclusion, it was noted that In this study based on mothers reports, the vaccinated had a higher rate of allergies and NDD than the unvaccinated. Vaccination, but not preterm birth, remained significantly associated with NDD after controlling for other factors. However, preterm birth combined with vaccination was associated with an apparent synergistic increase in the odds of NDD. Further research involving larger, independent samples is needed to verify and understand these unexpected findings in order to optimize the impact of vaccines on childrens health. According to Baxter Dmitry at IWB (Investment Watch Blog) [1], the study was unpublished at Frontiers In Public Health, but a cached version available on internet archives has also been removed, suggesting there is a serious campaign to stop members of the public from viewing the study. However a screenshot of the abstract was saved before it was scrubbed from the internet, and which I have inserted below thanks to Baxter Dmitry. Question: Does anything sound familiar regarding control mechanisms, especially when things dont go the way controlling interests want them to go? Answer: Either pull the article a la Dr Andrew Wakefield notoriety or demand vote recounts all the way up to a states Supreme Court! However, theres manipulation by the vaccine industry and its press corps extolling totally unscientific and fraudulent reports (as confirmed by various Big Pharma [4] and CDC [5] whistleblowers) published everywhere with great fanfare, even when many of those vaccines are the coincidences that cause todays horrendous neurodevelopmental disorders not seen in the medical literature until the onset [late 1980s forward] of mandated vaccinations, some starting immediately after birth! Personally, I find it extremely interesting that scientific journals obviously kowtow to skewed pro-vaccine science radical acolytes, especially those who promote apparently fraudulent studies such as Frank DeStefano, William Thompson and Coleen BoyleU.S. CDC employees and bureaucrats, while Congress boldly looks the other way! Generally, I think the vaccine industry and Big Pharma, in particular, owe Coleen Boyle, PhD, a tremendous debt of gratitude because she apparently perfected and became the Mother of Obfuscation regarding the manipulation of research data to produce statistical results vested-interests want and need for published scientific studies. Her research magic and fingerprints apparently can be found in the Vietnam Agent Orange and several vaccine studies, especially the famous Danish MMR vaccineno-Autism-link study! Boyles research work on disassociating Agent Orange with Vietnam War veterans health problems obviously gained her not only the respect of the pharmaceutical industry but a unique status and position she obviously enjoys within CDC as their point person before Congress. YouTube: https://youtu.be/-3cyoJLGbTw? Furthermore, Boyle apparently played a guiding tutorial role along with Diana Schendel (Thorsens CDC girlfriend) in the Poul Thorsen Danish MMR vaccine study the CDC always trots out as proof that the MMR vaccine does not cause Autism based upon Danish health data that were massaged around to get the results the CDC obviously was looking for, but also was scammed out of more than $2 million by indicted and criminal-at-large-in-Denmark Poul Thorsen! If any paper should be retracted, vilified and removed from publication on the CDCs website and in the New England Journal of Medicine, it should be the Poul Thorsen Danish MMR vaccine study [2, 3] co-authored with Diana Schendel, which you can read here that states, This study provides strong evidence against the hypothesis that MMR vaccination causes autism. N Engl J Med. 2002 Nov 7;347(19):1477-82. A population-based study of measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination and autism. Madsen KM1, Hviid A, Vestergaard M, Schendel D, Wohlfahrt J, Thorsen P, Olsen J, Melbye M The double-standards, which guide and prevail regarding vested-interest-science and independent-research-science studies publication, retractions and discussions about vaccines, must be addressed if there is to be any hope of ever ending the ever-growing, frightening neurodevelopmental disorders* children have been contracting overwhelmingly [6] ever since vaccines took off [7] like greased lightning at the behest of the CDC/FDA, the totally-misinformed-and-proselytized medical professions and their financially-generous muse, Big pHARMa.

Smacks of desperation and then backfires as more eyes are on the study now than would have been otherwise thus further raising consciousness levels. Last year a Pew survey revealed 41% of adults under 30 (18-29) believe parents should be able to decide whether or not their kids get vaccinated and that percentage drops with increasing age demographics: 35% (30-49), 23% (50-64), and 20% (65). The trend is younger people are waking up to vaccine dangers. Thankfully I was able to get this through to my kids and their kids are not vaccinated. They are very healthy and ornery, but lovable rascals. 
1	Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia recused himself from a capital murder case heard Monday, acknowledging his impartiality could be called into question due to the double homicide he committed in 1986. 'Considering my own brutal murder of two innocent people 25 years ago, there are some who might cast doubt upon the court were I to help decide this defendant's guilt or innocence,' Scalia said in reference to the incident in which he viciously beat and murdered two elderly owners of a mom-and-pop convenience store before placing their dismembered remains in plastic trash bags and throwing them off a bridge. 'While I personally believe myself capable of ruling on this matter without bias, judicial propriety dictates I disqualify myself.' Also recusing himself is Justice Clarence Thomas, who is the defendant in the case and widely believed to have committed the murder in question. 
2	White Marine Brutally Beaten By Block Mob In Revenge Attack For Mike Brown According to recent reports, a former Marine is suffering from severe brain injury after a group of black men attacked him in a local Mississippi Waffle House. The attack is said to be revenge for the killing of Mike Brown. Ralph Weems and David Knighten were reportedly arrived at the restaurant at around 1 AM. Weems was inside when Knighten was approached by a patron who told him that they should turn around. According to the man, a group of black diners were upset by the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and it wasnt a safe place for whites. By the time Knighten joined his friend inside of the restaurant, Weems was already in a heated argument with the group. Racial slurs were being shouted at the pair, and police were called to the scene. When they arrived, they seemed to have alleviated the situation. However, when Weems and Knighten left the scene to go to a different restaurant, they were followed. The group continued shouting racial slurs, and began to physically attack Weems, kicking him repeatedly in the head. When the police arrived again at 2 AM, the group fled on foot. Weems was taken to a Medical Center, where he had to be put in a medically induced coma, following brain surgery. Perhaps what is more shocking is the fact that police are investigating the incident as an assault rather than a hate crime. According to one police spokesperson, the attack does not appear to be a hate crime. Are we the only ones who have trouble with that statement? Let us know what you think.

3	Why Meat Prices Are Going To Continue Soaring For The Foreseeable FutureMichael Snyder Due to an absolutely crippling drought that wont let go of the western half of the country, the total size of the U.S. cattle herd has shrunk for seven years in a row, and it is now the smallest that is has been since 1951. But back in 1951, we had less than half the number of mouths to feed. And a devastating pig virus that has never been seen in the United States before has already killed up to 6 million pigs in this country and continues to spread like wildfire. What all of this means is that the supply of meat is going to be tight for the foreseeable future even as demand for meat continues to go up. This is going to result in much higher prices, and so food is going to put a much larger dent in American family budgets in the months and years to come. One year ago, the average price of USDA choice-grade beef was $4.91. Now it is up to$5.28, andthe Los Angeles Times says that we should not expect prices to come down any time soon It is estimated that up to 6 million pigs may have died already, and it is being projected that U.S. pork production could be down by 7 percent this year. That would be the largest decline in more than 30 years. But even if someone brought an end to this pig virus tomorrow, we would still be facing a very serious food crisis in this nation. The reason for this is the multi-year drought which is crippling farming and ranching in much of the western half of the country. As you can see from the latest U.S. Drought Monitor update, the drought shows no signs of letting up But I wouldnt count on it. In fact, CBS News recently interviewed one scientist that says that the state of California could potentially be facing a century-long megadrought So what will we do if this drought just keeps going and going and going? As the article quoted above noted, last century was far wetter than usual. During that time, we built teeming cities in the desert and we farmed vast areas that are usually bone dry So what happens if the western half of the country returns to normal? What will we do then? Meanwhile, drought is devastating many other very important agricultural areas around the world as well. For example, the horrible drought in Brazil could soon send the price of coffeethrough the roof At this point, 142 Brazilian cities are rationing water, and it wouldnt just be coffee that would be affected by this drought. As a recent RT article explained, Brazil is one of the leading exporters in a number of key agricultural categories Most people just assume that we will always have massive quantities of cheap, affordable food in our supermarkets. But just because that has been the case for as long as most of us can remember, that does not mean that it will always be true. Times are changing, and food prices are already starting to move upward aggressively. Yes, let us hope for the best, but let us also prepare for the worst.

1	DEDHAM, MAElyssa Schuster, 16, swore Monday that she will never again experiment with marijuana after coming home to 'obviously baked' parents Harold and Judy Saturday night. 'I used to think smoking pot made you look cool, but, boy, was I wrong,' Schuster said. 'Dad got all paranoid about the mortgage rate while Mom spent an hour giggling about how dusty the ceiling fan was. It was so sad and depressing.' Schuster said she was thankful to be scared straight before she made a fool of herself again. 
3	5 More Big Fat Lies Obama Is Leaving Us WithBy Melissa Dykes On the way out the door, the administration is basically trying to rewrite history with some of the biggest whoppers yet. What youre about to see isnt an SNL skit, although some of it very well could be substituted for one and most people wouldnt know the difference. The only question left is, how many more lies to do you think his administration can cram into just 14 days? Watch more WORD here.

2	Obama Caught In Massive Lie After Bombshell Footage Leaks... White House Panicking President Obama was heavily criticized for disrespecting the memory of Navy SEAL Charles Keating IV after he was murdered by ISIS, by refusing to admit that the soldier had died in combat. Instead, Obama insisted that U.S. military personnel are not directly engaged in battle in Iraq and Syria. Now, a new video that has been released that proves Obama is once again attempting to deceive the American public. I dont mean to make it sound benign because its not, Earnest commented. Its dangerous. What I am trying to do, though, is trying to be as precise as possible with you and the American public about what exactly our commander-in-chief has asked our service members to do. Secretary Carter, earlier today had described his death as a combat death, Earnest continued. Thats accurate. This is an individual who is not in a combat mission, but he was in a dangerous place and his position came under attack. He was armed, trained, and prepared to defend himself. Unfortunately, he was killed. He was killed in combat but that was not part of his mission. His mission was specifically to offer advice and assistance to those Iraqi forces that were fighting for their own country. Just one day after Earnest released this statement, the footage surfaced showing U.S. Navy SEALs taking part in a battle against terrorists in the area of Mosul in Northern Iraq. In the video, SEALs can be seen being told not to allow video recording their actions. At one point, one even yells, Hey, no video! What do you think? Are you tired of Obama trying to mislead the American public? Is it time we knew what he was really up to? 
3	Filmmaker Faces 45 Years in Prison for Reporting on Dakota Access ProtestsBy Nika Knight Schlosberg was arrested in Walhalla, North Dakota on Tuesday for filming activists shutting down a tar sands pipeline, part of a nationwide solidarity action organized on behalf of those battling the Dakota Access Pipeline. The filmmaker was held without access to a lawyer for 48 hours, her colleague Josh Fox wrote in theNation, and her footage was confiscated by the police. Edward Snowden (@Snowden) October 14, 2016 Deia isnt alone, observed Fox in an op-ed in the Nation.The arrest of journalists, filmmakers, and others witnessing and reporting on citizen protests against fossil-fuel infrastructure amid climate change is part of a worrisome and growing pattern. Indeed, the news of Schlosbergs arrest followedDemocracy Nows Amy Goodman announcementearlier this week that she will return to North Dakota to combat charges she faces as a result of reporting on the Dakota Access Pipeline protest last month. Goodman, whose camera crew filmed a private security team attacking peaceful Native American protesters with dogs and pepper spray, faces charges of criminal trespassingwhich many have said amounts to an assault on press freedom, asCommon Dreamsreported. It also emerged late Saturday that a North Dakota state prosecutor has dropped the trespassing charge and is seeking instead to charge Goodman with participating in a riot,Democracy Nowreported. I came back to North Dakota to fight a trespass charge. They saw that they could never make that charge stick, so now they want to charge me with rioting, said Goodman. I wasnt trespassing, I wasnt engaging in a riot, I was doing my job as a journalist by covering a violent attack on Native American protesters. A warrant for Goodmans arrest was issued September 8. Meanwhile, actor Shailene Woodley was arrested Monday while live-streaming a prayer action at a Dakota Access construction site. She was singled out, the police told her, because she was well-known and had 40,000 people watching live on her Facebook page, Fox wrote. Other filmmakers shooting protest actions along the pipeline have also been arrested. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 License.

Im not sure if you are aware but there are state and federal laws which make it a crime to witness a felony and not report it. There was obviously a crime in progress and she exploited that to further her own agenda. re:crime to witness a felony and not report it. So what if a journalist was filming a man raping a child? If she doesnt call the police it is a felony. Her being a journalist doesnt make her exempt from following the law dipshit. In that case you would be the one being fimled nothing your saying has any relevance to this story Guy typing at the bottom has no idea I blocked him, what an idiot. I hope these activists enjoy their lengthy prison sentences and most likely millions of dollars in fines. for reporting on an event? why? Im talking about the people that shut down the pipes. While I oppose arresting journalists for just reporting, they are idiot climate change propagandists, so being charged with facts that dont exist should be understandable to them. They arrest these people, but not hillary clinton.., if the protestors can delay things for a few weeks then the ownership deal might fall through. hes just a poor boy, wont you let him goNOwe wont Queen circa 1980 The principle is the point, not the subject of the protests. The conspiracy wording makes the law like Franz Kafkas The Trial. Where does conspiracy begin? Important for terrorist prosecution but how is this a good thing for journalists to be subject a law like this? The Obama administration has become infamous for prosecuting people to the fullest extent possible for whistle blowing and journalism. According to the logic, Americans are not allowed to know what the government is doing. After all, its not their government so why should the slaves know what their exploiters are doing. The election is coming up. I hope there is a real chance to remove reactionary governments such as North Dakotas and return sane governance to the States. Read the sixth amendment. Or, 
1	Cultural zoologists are mourning the extinction of a species following Mondays passing of novelist John Updike. The last living novelist, Updike died in his cage at the Columbus Zoo. 'We will greatly miss Mr. Updike, to whom many of our trainers and feeders grew very attached,' zoo director Cheryl Berner said. 'Columbus Zoo visitors of all ages loved to watch him hunch over his typewriter, furiously pressing the little keys.' Berner said the zoo had tried for several years to mate Updikeknown for his long fictional books called 'novels' (KNAW-vuls)with female ad-copy writers, cartoonists and screenwriters, but were unsuccessful. 'At one point, we tried to procure a sperm sample from Mr. Updike to inseminate People magazine managing editor Jane Lowery, but he became enraged and violent when approached, Berner said. 
3	Beware of Global Strategies of TensionTony Cartalucci, Contributor However, the people of the world in general must recognize corruption, monopolies, and imperialism in all of its forms, regardless of what flag is being flown and be ever vigilant against these dangers. While geopolitical analysts today may consider BRICS and the SCO as essential for maintaining a multipolar balance of power against the West, the risk of a strategy of tension creating increasingly centralized supranational blocs facing off against each other may leave whomever prevails with the capacity to carry out global despotism on an even grander scale. Image: A Russian nuclear missile. It was mutually assured destruction the ultimate balance of power that prevented catastrophic war from breaking out between East and West. Balancing power, offering deterrence against aggression and exploitation has been the study of tacticians for thousands of years and is a subject the global elite are well versed in. The masses must also familiarize themselves with such concepts and formulate their own means of balancing power locally and nationally to keep in check powers both foreign and domestic that seek domination through exploiting economic, social, and tactical disparity. (source: Wikipedia) Worldwide, people must begin identifying national and international special interests, and rejecting them all entirely. They must begin devising local alternatives by leveraging technology and collaboration where possible, and realizing that nationalism, localism, and borders in general represent indispensable protective bulkheads with which to stop the spread of abuse of power, exploitation, military aggression, corruption of all kinds, and both social and financial dysfunction. An Informed, Active, Vigilant Citizenry Is Needed The world must perform a careful balancing act to ensure Western financier oligarchy is kept in check, or ideally rolled back, while ensuring in our haste or zeal we do not create its replacement in the process. An international, multipolar balance of power requires that each nation-state acquires, maintains, and continuously expands a certain degree of independence in terms of economics and defense. Within a nation and its provinces, to achieve such balance, a certain degree of independence amongst individuals and their communities is required. To enhance individual and local independence, we can do everything from being responsible firearms owners, growing a garden, patronizing local businesses and industry, learning a trade, and simply learning how to organize and work with our neighbors to solve our own problems. While we are faced with immense, overwhelming global problems stemming from monolithic powers these powers are fed by each and every one of us individually when we pay into multinational corporations and their contrived institutions, laws, and regulations. If our collective actions can create and compound these problems, surely they can solve them. It is disparity that is used to sell globalization; disparity in climate, in the resources present within ones borders, of the quality and education of ones work force, and the disparity between nations in their ability to defend themselves. These are all factors that govern the form globalization takes, including all of its supposed benefits and the serial exploitation it leaves behind. We are told that globalizations interdependent relationships governed by centralized international institutions are the keys to solving these disparities. This is not true. Policy never has and never will solve our problems as a species. Instead, it is through technological research and development, innovation and invention, investment in defense, infrastructure, and education that these disparities can truly be reduced or all together eliminated, creating stronger communities and in-turn a stronger nation-state while deterring aggression and exploitation at our borders. Trade and collaboration with ones neighbors becomes a supplement to a strong independent nation, not a necessity and certainly not a liability in a time of crisis. We must ask our elected representatives why these obvious measures are not being taken to address these disparities. Why are we exploiting poorly educated workforces for cheap labor instead of leveraging technology and education to create the same products domestically, better and cheaper? Why are we importing certain goods instead of devising ways to produce them locally? Why are we struggling for fuel abroad instead of making a serious effort to develop alternatives at home? The questions could go on ad infinitum and illustrate just how globalization has been sold as a ready-made solution to artificially created and/or perpetuated problems. It also illustrates the necessity for regular people to boycott the corporations and institutions perpetuating such flawed policy, and devise solutions themselves. Photo: Neil Gershenfeld of MITs Fab Lab project seeks to provide modern manufacturing technology to people around the world to solve local problems with local, technological solutions. Fab Labs and maker spaces are turning up in communities around the world, literally putting the means of production into the masses hands, and are a good place to start for people interested in organizing locally, sharing knowledge, and collaborating on projects that leverage technology to the benefit of everyone. Balancing power need not involve weapons of mass destruction or violent uprisings an informed, educated, technically competent self-sufficient population starves the forces of parasitic elitism out of existence. It is essential to examine the state of modern technology today, from communication and education, to manufacturing technology, to see what can be leveraged by people on a local level so that communities can not only devise their own programs to address their problems, but so that they can begin implementing solutions on their as well. As communities grow stronger, their ability to influence pragmatic positive change provincially and nationally will increase and a balance of power may be struck. Demanding change from a position of weakness, without even the means of sustaining ones existence without the very corporations, institutions, and governments change is being demanded from, is strategically untenable. Individuals and local communities must build-up their capacity in terms of education, economics, politics, and their ability to provide for themselves adequate order and security (through effective Constitutional sheriffs for instance). Only then will the people possess a sufficient deterrence against exploitation, as well as possess the leverage needed to make demands or simply achieve on their own what they desire. Conclusion There is already the European Union and the African Union. There exists an informal North American Union and a transatlantic partnership. The excuse of a rising China has spurred Southeast Asia into forming the ill-advised ASEAN bloc, complete with European Union-style institutions, ready to fail just as spectacularly both politically and economically. Even the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation comes with it the potential of consolidating the other side of the world into a growing supranational bloc. People must inform themselves of the differences between international cooperation, and recklessly lashing their ships together while gutting the watertight compartments within their own hulls. Generally, such self-defeating exercises are coordinated by piratical elements who find such consolidation and the removal of obstructions convenient for subsequent plundering as the banks in America and Europe are currently doing to Western nation-states. Recent tensions with Russia herald the rise of not individual superpowers this time, but the rise of superpower blocs. We must ensure we do not fall for a strategy of tension that leaves us all at the mercy of a terribly powerful, supranationally-consolidated victor, be it East or West. Alliances that pose as anti-fascism or anti-imperialism must make the appropriate assurances that a multipolar world order will prevail, strengthening the nation-state and the individual, not undermining them. Simultaneously, we as individuals must be resolved to taking our fates into our own hands,taking back the responsibilities demanded of a free citizenry that we have long ago traded in for the convenience offered by monopolies of all kinds. It has been our collective negligence that has led to a world of such disparities it must be our collective resolve that rectifies them. linkwithin_text=Related Articles:

'I ain't doin' this Chief Executive crap no more.' Clinton then stormed out of the White House, heading to Mike's Place, a D.C.-area restaurant, where he ordered a plate of chili cheese fries and read the local want-ads. Clinton is the first U.S. President to resign from office in a profanity-laden rant.

2	TechIn the Bible, Revelations talk of a prophecy about the mark of the Beast. The prophecy claims that the mark would be required of every person and, they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark. Now, a software company called Chaotic Moon has just developed what they are calling a tech tattoo. This new device would be embedded into a persons arm and could track their financial and medical information. Eric Schneider, the companys creative technologist, claims that the tattoo would be able to monitor if a person is about to be ill. The tattoo is designed to wirelessly transmit information to a mobile app or computer that is regularly monitored by health professionals. Rather than going to the doctor once a year for your physical, this tech tattoo can be something you put on your body once a year and it monitors everything that they would do in a physical and it sends that to your doctor, and if theres an issue they can call you, Schneider told reporters. It can look at early signs of fever, your vital signs, heart rate, everything it needs to look at to notify you that youre getting sick or your child is getting sick, he continued. He also argued that the tattoo would make us less vulnerable as consumers. We carry wallets around and they are so vulnerable, he claimed. With the tech tattoo you can carry all your information on your skin and when you want your credit card information or your ID, you can pull that up automatically through the system. The tattoos last up to a year and are made of electro conductive ink that comes complete with sensors and microchips. Questions about the health implications of the chip itself are still in the air, but if you ask us, this sounds like a major threat to our safety. 
1	After years of unsuccessful efforts to establish itself as a center of tourism, industry or Texas history, the tiny East Texas town of Purley finally put itself on the map Monday, when civic leaders unveiled the world's largest fiberglass chili dog. The oversized wiener replicacenterpiece of Purley's campaign to become 'Chili Dog Capital Of The World'was christened at a ceremony attended by Purley's 233 residents, as well as reporters from as far away as Floyd County. The monument that will soon have tourists 'flocking to Purley in droves.' 'In the name of the good people of Purley, Texas,' said Mayor Owen Hudspeth, breaking a jar of mustard over the monument's base, 'I hereby dedicate this statue as the official symbol of Purley chili-dog pride.' Conveniently located just 11 miles south of Highway 8, the giant simulated frank boasts a height of 27 feet and an estimated weight of two tons. According to Bernice Smalls, curator of Purley's soon-to-open National Chili Dog Hall Of Fame And Museum, the chili dog is the second tallest free-standing fiberglass food item in the world, second only to a 35-foot-tall corn muffin in Kearney, NE. 'To give you an idea of the size of this chili dog, consider that, if it were real, it would contain 24 million calories and 450,000 grams of fat,' Smalls said. 'You'd have to jog across Texas 415 times just to burn it off.' Added Smalls: 'I certainly wouldn't recommend that to anyone on a diet.' The mayor said that the chili dog and the adjacent museum, opening June 1, should attract an estimated 400,000 tourists annually, pumping millions of dollars into the local economy and creating more than 300 wiener-related jobs. A two-star hotel is also under construction. 'We're really moving into the big-time now,' Hudspeth said. 'As Chili Dog Capital Of The World, Purley will be the vacation destination for millions of chili-dog lovers around the globe. I just hope we are equipped to handle the crush of visitors.' The massive chili-dog simulacrum is expected to help Purley lure tourists from the many other competing world capitals nearby, including: Centerville (Okra Capital Of The World); Tyler (Allen Wrench Capital Of The World); Nacogdoches (Carbon-Dioxide Capital Of The World); and Rusk (Unicycling Capital Of The World). Purley Mayor Owen Hudspeth, who says the fiberglass chili dog will bring millions of tourist dollars to local businesses like the McMillin Grocery. City councilman Bert Kendall, whose campaign to make Purley 'Paprika City, U.S.A.' was defeated last year in a 13-9 council vote, praised the chili dog at its unveiling. 'Purley has, in the past, been regarded as unexceptional,' Kendall said. 'But now, we have the world's largest chili dog. So, to that end, we are exceptional, in that no town anywhere has a larger chili dog.' Kendall's 'Paprika City, U.S.A.' proposal was just one of dozens considered by the Purley city council last year in an effort to increase the small town's notoriety. Among the items proposed for construction: the world's largest shoelace; a ferris wheel made of carpet; and 'Truckhenge,' described by city councilman Richard Serrano as 'just like Stonehenge, only with trucks.' In the end, however, the chili-dog plan won out, and Purley residents seem pleased. 'We sure are proud of our big old chili dog,' retired farmer Cordell Bullock said. 'Biggest chili dog in the world, that's what that sucker is.' 'It's good to see that we've finally done something for the young people of this community,' Purley High School math teacher Gwen Vernon said. 'This will help teach children things like how big the world's largest chili dog is, and where it is.' Vernon noted that children can also learn about economics from the chili-dog museum's gift shop, which sells miniature plastic replicas of the chili dog, chili-dog snow globes, and T-shirts reading, 'I Saw The World's Largest Fiberglass Chili Dog.' Bill Stone, owner of the local hardware store, put it best: 'If you stand about 200 feet away, close one eye, and hold up your hand just right, it looks like you're holding a giant chili dog in your hand. That's kind of neat.' 
1	A new U.S. Department Of Labor study revealed that Martha Stewart Living housewares, Tommy Hilfiger clothing, iPod music players, forks, diapers, telephones, and every other conceivable consumer good in existence is manufactured by people laboring in sweatshop conditions. 'Long hours, low wages, and unsafe work areas are involved in producing everything our civilization uses,' Labor Secretary Elaine Chao said at a press conference Tuesday. 'It is now literally impossible for anyone anywhere in this country to purchase any single thing that doesn't infringe on someone's human rights.' Chao added that even the few items still made in the U.S., such as designer T-shirts and certain Toyota sedans, are also produced in deadly squalor, mostly by illegal immigrants. The Department of Labor recommended no immediate course of action in response to the report, which was compiled by 135 government employees in an 20-by-80-foot Quonset hut without air-conditioning working six 18-hour shifts a week for $1.15 an hour.

'Right now, I'm smoking, like, four or five cigarettes a day, but I definitely don't feel like I'm hooked yet,' Davis said Tuesday. 'That's gonna be so cool when the nicotine kicks in, and I have to, like, sneak out of restaurants and stuff for a fix.' 
1	Americans Disappointed To Learn Olympics Will Be Televised NEW YORKAlthough American citizens are proud of the athletes representing their country at the Turin Olympics and wish their team the best of luck, their patriotism does not translate into a desire to actually watch the events, according to informal studies conducted by NBC, the network that will televise this year's Winter Games. 'It's important to almost 100 percent of the viewers of NBC, MSNBC, and our partner networks that Team USA does well, especially in high-profile sports such as hockey, figure skating, and skiing,' said NBC Sports chairman Dick Ebersol, whose network will provide 416 hours of coverage to as many as five times that number of people. 'However, almost all those we spoke to said that they would be perfectly satisfied to see highlights and scores during commercial breaks on Law & Order, Fear Factor, and Late Night With Conan O'Brien.' Although Ebersol admitted that the estimated numbers were low compared to the legendary Winter Games of the 1980s, he said they were almost double those from the 1998 Olympics in Nagano. Olympic Committee Announces Judging Panels For Men's, Women's Ice Hockey LAUSANNE, SWITZERLANDThe International Olympic Committee announced Monday that final selections had been made for the panels that will judge ice-hockey teams in seven different categories, including technical achievement, overall impression, and artistic interpretation, during competition at the 2006 Turin Olympics. 'It is an honor to be chosen to help usher in this exciting new era of international hockey, which finally takes its place alongside all other skating-based sports in using a more enlightened scoring system,' said former Russian national team goalie Vladislav Tretiak, who will grade teams in the men's hockey events on their offensive and defensive performance in the crease and behind the net. 'I look forward to working with the other 11 men and women on the panel, and urge viewers at home to enjoy judging the games themselves and comparing their results to ours.' The new system is intended to be more fan-friendly, more intuitive, and less absolute than the old system, in which winners of hockey games were chosen based on points scored. Nepalese Skier Upset There's No Medal For Getting Up The Mountain TURIN, ITALYJay Khadka, a renowned Sherpa and Nepal's representative in the men's downhill skiing event, expressed disappointment Tuesday upon learning that the Olympic Committee would not be taking participants' time of ascent up the mountain and degree of route difficulty into consideration when awarding medals for the competition. 'I have been training for what I believed to be the first half of this event for my whole life,' said Khadka from his training base camp 8,000 feet up the sheer face of the Dolomite Mountains in the Italian Alps. 'I climbed and skied down Everest three times in 2005 to ready myself. Now they tell me everyone else is taking a ski lift. I may as well just take my skis, poles, helmet, goggles, two pounds of dried food, signaling mirror, oxygen tanks, compass, and space blanket back down the mountain and go home.' Khadka also informed Olympic officials that Austrian skiing legend Hermann Maier, whom Khadka was guiding up the mountain, would also not be competing in the event, as he died of frostbite about half a mile back. Skeleton Competitor Remembers When It Was All About The Skeletoning ALBANY, NYKevin Ellis, a veteran 'slider' with the U.S. Olympic skeleton team known throughout the sport as an outspoken skeletoning purist, has called for the recent drug- and hype-afflicted sport to return to its skeletoning roots. 'Back in the day, just skeletoning was enough Skeletoning was its own reward,' said Ellis, who himself makes up an estimated 2 percent of skeletoners in North America, at a bar not far from U.S. skeleton team headquarters. 'Just to be skeletoning down the mountain, just you alone with your skeleton, and then to walk back up the mountain so you could skeleton down again That's what skeletoning was all about. And it still should be.' Ellis' statement captured the attention of Annette Fielding, the other skeletoner in the bar, and a group of skiers at a corner table who had decided to drink whenever Ellis said the word 'skeleton.' U.S. Snowboarding Team Says Urine Is In Best Condition Ever COLORADO SPRINGS, COAfter a long training season during which team members' performance was carefully monitored and fine-tuned with the Olympics in mind, U.S. Olympic snowboarding coach Peter Foley said his athletes' urine should be more than competitive with that of any other nation in the world. 'It's taken months of hard work, and in some ways we were forced to play against our strengths and deviate from the techniques that got us here, but I'd say our team's urine is as clear and pure as possible,' said Foley, who attributed the team's urine's success to 'nothing more than the athletic virtues of discipline, hard work, and self-denial.' 'We're ready to face up to any test the Europeans can throw at us in Turin.' Although team members declined to speak to the press on urine-related matters, several were overheard saying their urine could not be expected to maintain its present level of conditioning for more than 15 minutes after the closing ceremonies. Bobsledder Making Sure To Pick Just The Right Song For Routine CONCAN, TXTodd Hays, the driver of the U.S. two-man bobsled team, has spent all winter looking for the perfect song to accompany his bobsledding routine next weekend. 'In a sport that depends just as much on the way the spectators interpret the performance as the physical maneuvering of a small metal sleigh down steep hills and through tight turns, the music you select is crucial,' said Hays, who has narrowed his search to Blue Oyster Cult's hard-rocking 'Burnin' For You' and Shania Twain's reserved-yet-hopeful 'You're Still The One.' 'When I'm careening down the track in sub-zero weather at speeds approaching 90 mph, I want to faintly hear brief, wind-distorted fragments of a song that inspires me, that influences the way I drive, and that also allows me to have a little fun with it.' Hays added that he has not ruled out commissioning the composition of an original piece for the event, as long as it speaks to who he is as a bobsledder. Contractual Obligations With Skating With Celebrities Force Figure Skater To Partner With Dave Coulier LOS ANGELESU.S. figure skater Rena Inoue announced Monday that, due to a stipulation in her Skating With Celebrities contract with the Fox network, she will be required to drop her traditional partner John Baldwin and compete in the Olympic pairs event with former Full House star Dave Coulier. 'Although Dave and I have made a lot of progress on the show, and I am confident in our ability to outskate pairs like Tai Babilonia and Bruce Jenner or Jenni Meno and Todd Bridges, I'm not sure we're quite ready to compete against professionals like Russia's Maria Petrova and Aleksi Tikhonov just yet,' Inoue said. 'It's certainly going to be a challenge. Me and my real-life partner John have won two national titles and were the first pair in history to land a throw-triple-axel. Dave's still getting used to wearing ice skates.' Inoue predicted that, despite the fact that Coulier has to hold her hand during the entire performance to stop himself from falling, they stand a fighting chance of outscoring Canada's Valerie Marcoux and her partner, the breakout star of Canadian TV's version of Skating With Celebrities, Rick Moranis. 
3	Japanese researchers develop goggles to thwart facial recognition technologyMadison Ruppert, Contributor Given the rapidly increasing speed of facial recognition systems, the use of facial recognition technology in applications as disparate as mannequins in retail stores and border crossings around the world and drones and even televisions, this anti-facial recognition technology could be more needed now than ever. Isao Echizen of NII along with Professor Seiichi Gohshi of Kogakuin University developed the technology somewhat along the lines of the drone-proof clothing line to protect individuals from having their privacy invaded by photographs taken by secret cameras or photographs taken unintentionally. Due of the popularization of portable terminals with built-in cameras and developments in SNS [Social Networking Services] and image search technologies, information such as when and where photographed subjects were is easily disclosed via photos taken and disclosed without their permission, which has resulted in a greater need to protect the privacy of these subjects, states a press release from NII. The technology developed by Echizen and Gohshi uses a near-infrared light source to disrupt the camera and thus the photograph and facial recognition technology without affecting the vision of the individual wearing the privacy visor. Augmented reality technology coupled with facial recognition is on the rise with companies like Viewdle, (recently acquired by Google according to WebProNews) funded by Blackberry, Qualcomm, Anthem Venture Partners, Western Technology Investment and Best Buy. Viewdle enables people to see the world through computer vision with face, object, and gesture recognition technology products that realize the full potential of the many advanced consumer devices that are now on the marketsmartphones, tablets, and other camera-enabled devices. This type of technology is being deployed on a variety of platforms and thus this anti-facial recognition technology will only become more important as time goes on. While previous proposals for protecting privacy include physically shielding their faces or techniques for causing detection of peoples faces to fail by coloring their face or altering their hairstyle, all of these require quite obvious alterations and in some cases can draw a great deal of attention. Other methods of shielding ones face, such as wearing masks, can even be prohibited in some places. However this new system, which at this point is little more than clear safety goggles with LEDs attached which emit light visible only to cameras, would not be as easily outlawed. The technology, though still in its infancy, is gaining a lot of attention in Japan, where it has already been featured on television. According to Ryan Gallagher of Slate, Echizen said he has already received offers from companies seeking to work toward commercialized privacy visors in the future. We are developing an improved version of the privacy visor without power supply consisting of transparent materials that reflect or absorb specific wavelength, Echizen said. Most amazing of all is that Echizen predicts the final product will be incredibly cheap, costing around $1 per unit. The goggles can essentially make the user invisible to facial recognition technologies and while they dont quite look fashionable at this point, there is nothing stopping them from becoming increasingly sleek and less obvious. Currently the required power supply is somewhat large so that would be another obstacle to be tackled in the near future. Given the increasing concern with facial recognition technologies, I would be quite surprised if this type of technology and other anti-facial recognition systems did not catch on as facial recognition is deployed in even more everyday applications. UPDATE: When considering how effective this would be at maintaining complete anonymity, one must remember that there are other methods including soft biometrics, pedobiometrics, voice recognition, and potentially in the future a kind of pharmaco-biological identification based on a previously established profile. With this type of technology making leaps and bounds at nearly unbelievable speed, its hard to imagine it getting any easier. That being said, with advances in technologies designed to counter facial recognition and other identification and tracking systems, it could very well be possible.

3	5 Things You Need to Know About the Dakota Access Pipeline ProtestsBy Nick Bernabe Due to misinformation coming from law-enforcement, political favoritismtoward the pipeline builders, and the medias blatant reluctance to report on the pipeline, its hard to tell truth from fiction. Anti-Media, along with our partners in the independent media and our embedded journalist at the opposition encampment, have been covering the unfolding standoff continuously. Here are five things you need to know. The Standing Rock Sioux tribe is leading the opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline. They have been joined by the largest tribal coalition in over 100 yearsin their stand against the pipeline. The coalition is also comprised of activists, allies, and environmentalists, collectively known as water protectors, at the Sacred Stone Camp, an encampment close to the location where the pipeline is planned to cross the Missouri River in North Dakota. According to the Sacred Stone camp website, they are opposing the pipeline because [t]he Dakota Access threatens everything from farming and drinking water to entire ecosystems, wildlife and food sources surrounding the Missouri. The Standing Rock Sioux also say the pipeline is violating treaty land, Sioux territory that was established many years ago by the federal government.We will not allow Dakota Access to trespass on our treaty territory and destroy our medicines and our culture. The opposition to the pipeline spreads across several states and is not opposed solely by Native Americans. Farmers, ranchers, and landowners are also opposed to the pipeline. Many of them have had their land taken from them against their will and given to the pipeline via eminent domain. The United States has a very bad reputation for treating Native Americans, the original inhabitants of this land, as less than human. In many instances in the past, the land where Native Americans lived was deemed to be of higher value than the Natives lives. Such has been the case in North Dakota not only now, but in the past as well. According to The Atlantic: The land beneath the pipeline was accorded to Sioux peoples by the Treaty of Fort Laramie in 1868. Eleven years later, the U.S. government incited and won the Great Sioux War, and renegotiated a new treaty with the Sioux under threat of starvation. In that document, the tribe ceded much of the Laramie land, including the Black Hills of South Dakota, where many whites believed there to be gold. After the federal government relegated the Sioux people to the Great Sioux Reservation in 1851, the treaty was re-written and renegotiated by force whenever resources were discovered or when the U.S. government wanted land. Essentially, the Sioux people were victims of U.S.-sanctioned murder, and their land was stolen because gold was discovered on it. Fast forward to 2016 and the Sioux people are once again making a stand on land that was once and still is, according to the tribe theirs. How is the government reacting to this stand? By brutally arresting the Native American water protectors for trespassing. If that is not a miscarriage of justice, I dont know what is. Further, Energy Transfer Partners, the company pulling the strings behind the DAPL, has deep pockets, and its lobbyists have cozied up to federal, state, and local governments with jurisdiction over the pipeline route. This could explain why the company began its construction of the pipeline on Army Corps of Engineers land without even securing an easement, which is required by law. Dakota Access LLC, a subsidiary of Energy Transfer Partners, has also used the strong-arm of government to force farmers and landowners to hand over their land to the pipeline against their will. Violence is breaking out at the Dakota Access Protest site, but the protesters have nothing to do with it. Pipeline police, bolstered by the North Dakota National Guard and sheriffs imported from around the country, have turned the standoff into a war zone. Water protectors are regularly pepper sprayed, tear gassed, and violently arrested. Over the weekend, 127 people were detained in the biggest mass arrest to date. Militarized police at the Dakota Access Pipeline site are decked out in riot gear, armed with military grade weapons, use armored cars or MRAPs with snipers on top of them, and have regularly used LRADs, a type of mass crowd dispersal weapon that uses a high-pitched noise to hurt peoples ears sometimes permanently. Early reports of protesters being armed and violent have proven to be instances of misinformation spread by law enforcement apparently seeking to demonize the opposition. No credible reports of violence by the protesters have been confirmed or prosecuted. Nearly all arrests stem from trespassing charges or crimes of journalism. When protesters initially began using civil disobedience to physically shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline site, they were confronted violently by security guards from British mercenary firm G4S. The mercs sicced dogs and used pepper spray on the protesters in an assault that went viral and helped catalyze even more support for the water protectors. Independent medias broadcasts over the Internet are basically the only reason people around the country and theworld now know about the struggle at Standing Rock. Unfortunately, journalists are not immune to the police crackdowns in North Dakota. Dozens of journalists have now been arrested, and an arrest warrant was issued for high-profile journalist Amy Goodman. One independent media outlet, Unicorn Riot, saw four of their journalists arrested in one day in North Dakota. One filmmaker is facing up to 45 years in prison for filming acts of civil disobedience against the pipeline. Anti-Medias journalist on the ground, Derrick Broze, was tased by law enforcement while covering the protests on Thursday as this article was being written. Meanwhile, the national corporate media ignored the battle against the Dakota Access Pipeline as long as they could. For months, despite the DAPL emergence into the national narrative, ABC and NBC refused to air anycoverage about it. A woman was arrested for protesting the pipeline on her own farm after Dakota Access LLC gained access to it against her will via eminent domain yet there was still no corporate media coverage on the incident. Now that you see what water protectors are up against in North Dakota, heres what you can do to help.

You have permission to republish this article under a Creative Commons license with attribution to Nick Bernabe and theAntiMedia.org. Anti-Media Radio airs weeknights at 11pm Eastern/8pm Pacific. Great and needed article. Both Stein and Sanders have been involved and visited the protesters to show support: Stein was arrested. Clinton has been silent; Trump has been silent. Silence is death. I hope you mean death at the polls! What is not being addressed is 1. Why the oil is not being processed first for easier distribution in North America and 2. this is due to the fact that the Texas refineries will be shipping it ALL to china ! It is yet another instance of America being RAPED for resources as the internationalists destroy us allif we allow it. Treaties? The only signed piece of paper the US gov has ever honoured is the dollar bill. thats starting to circle the drain as well Nicely put. Ummm, they dishonored that in 1913. Is there a different example? Fair point. I didnt expect hope, but I had hoped for it. I feel bad like Ive let you down, now. Look at the impact that truly independent media has had on this current (s)election cycle. The usual scripted BS just hasnt been working quite like the elites expected this time around and theyve had to pull out all the stops to just to keep the whole farcical soap opera grinding along. If the consequences werent so serious, it would be comical. I am much more of a realist, than I am optimistic or pessimistic. The fact is that we are living in the last generation that has been prophesied from ancient times. I believe that there is strong evidence that the Indian people are the descendants of the seed of Abraham, believing in the One True God and the promise of His Son, Jesus Christ. The Authorized King James Bible is the perfect Word of the Lord handed down through centuries in script among the Hebrews, never being changed. The accuracy of the scientific, historical, literal and prophetic words that are written therein, have been divinely kept throughout the generations. This one world dominion is going to have power over every nation, tribe and tongue and if you read Matthew 24, Mark, 13, Luke 21, Revelation, you will see and know for certain how things will progress until the end. Every Word of God is pure. They will shut down the communications and systematically conquer all dissenters. In this, we differ in our approaches but it would seem that, as you believe these things, I would say, respectfully, that your reasons to hope are essentially a matter of inevitability arent they? Would it not be fair to say that hope, on the basis of what you tell me, is actually a matter of keeping your faith and being patient. Inevitable? Yes. I suggest that you read the Authorized King James Bible for yourself. Only He that dwells outside of the bounds of time can tell the future before it happens with such precision using men from all walks of life that were separated by thousands of years. The prophecies are being fulfilled exactly as they were written. The Truth cannot be changed by a persons personal opinions or views. The truth remains steadfast and immovable. It is better to believe the truth than to believe our hearts or perspectives. The Words of the Lord are pure words, for sure. You cannot trust corrupt men or corrupt religious institutions of men, but you can trust Him. I testify as one that has known Him and His power, and faithfulness to His Word, not just believed Thank you for that. Thank you. It does. I hope your knowledge of Jesus Christ brings you to salvation. It is appointed unto man once to die and them the judgment. Whosoever was not found written in the book of life, was cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Differing opinions never change the truth. Eternity is a long time to be wrong. Please do consider these things and seek the Lord and live:) I do not proclaim the true gospel of Jesus Christ for any personal gain, church affiliation, or any other advantage, but that I might save some from the wrath that is certainly to come upon the entire world and He shall return in our generation. Check out my channel and feel free to comment on any of my discussions. I try to make sure that all comments are open for people to add to the discussions. In the end the only thing that is going to matter is having an advocate with the Father, because we have all become an unclean thing according to our own works and our conscience bears witness against us, yet He is faithful and just to forgive us all sins, if we confess them unto Him. Jesus came into the world to pay for the sins of many. Now Americans are seeing first hand just what so many peoples of other countries have had to deal with regularly, American armed forces brutally putting down legal and Constitutionally protected defense of their own land,s from interlopers and those only interested in profiting from the destruction of the peoples lands. Think of the peoples of Iran (where in 1953 their democracy was destroyed by the US and UK), Libya (where the wealthiest country per capita, was bombed back to the stone age by the US and NATO), Iraq (where a secular society where women could work and intermingle with men, was turned into charnel house by the US), Syria (where another secular state is being bombed by the US in concert with terrorists), Ukraine (where a nascent democracy was destroyed by the US with Victoria Nulands assistance and the country divided and made into a failed state), Honduras (where a democratic government was overthrown by the military with the approval of the US). This little demonstration of Americas disdain of the lives and property of ordinary people in North Dakota and its willingness to destroy them and their land is nothing compared to what the US does in other countries! 
3	Obama Secret Directive Gives Cyber-Control to Military For National SecurityGoogle is stating in their most recent Transparency Report that the US government has stepped up their surveillance on civilians. According to the Internet giant, more personal data is being profiled on Americans and their habits on the Web. Google says that they have been refusing to comply with governmental requests to take down content on the Internet because of fake court orders that appear to be frivolous or illegitimate. Using the claim that content being removed is racist in nature or defaming of public figures, governments around the world are requesting that the Internet be censored. However, this new trend is indicative of the Big brother controls being enacted against the free speech of citizens in sovereign nations. France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK have topped the list of countries that seek to control content on the Internet. Back in May, it was made public that the relationship between the National Security Agency (NSA) and Google is not going to be disclosed. A US Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia, ruled last week that the NSA does not need to confirm nor deny (known as a Glomar response) its collaborations with Google; how the two work together to spy on American citizens in the name of protecting the public from cyber-attacks. It is now being reported that Obama has signed a secret policy directive that gives the military complete control over the Internet should the US come under a cyberattack. Being called Presidential Policy Directive 20, the alleged document (being classified) is a guideline that explains how specific federal agencies will be empowered by the Obama administration to intercept online breaches of security including hacking and other digital attacks. This document assures that the US government is taking the offensive and proactive approach to digital security where network defense is recognized as operations designed to ensure defense of national security. Whether it means shutting down main servers or local computers that have been identified as targets, a complete shutdown of Internet access (although it requires cybersecurity legislation) would not be out of the realm of possibility. The militarys role in cybersecurity with regard to digital attacks will be to ensure that US digital information, data, and privacy be protected. This new responsibility will work in conjunction with law enforcement network defenses that are being used to para-militarize the Web using cyber units. In New York, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Microsoft have collaborated to create pre-crime and counterterrorism technology to aid federal intelligence and local law enforcement agencies domestic and international. The Domain Awareness System (DAS) will be a very sophisticated software technology that aggregates and analyzes public information in real time that will produce comprehensive reports to be used by NYPD to ascertain potential threats and pre-crime activity. Last month the leaked version of Obamas cybersecurity executive order is a compromise by the administration offered to those concerned about Big Brother controls invading US citizens privacy on the Web. One concession outlined is the sharing of Internet traffic information by the US government and private sector corporations involving critical infrastructure and electrical grid. Social media companies would not be held under the same mandate. The DHS, specifically Secretary Janet Napolitano, will be given the sole power of oversight, rather than Keith Alexander, director of the National Security Agency (NSA). Napolitano will be empowered to reference top-secret intelligence reports only known to her to base identification of cyberthreats and individual targets. In a proactive move, Janet Napolitano, in her blog entitled Inspiring the Next Generation of Cyber Professionals, would like future generations to learn about cybersecurity so that their contribution to the federal government is secure to ensure their professional development. The collaboration of the Department of Homeland Security and the National Security Agency will support the nations educational infrastructure by supporting Centers of Academic Excellence to make sure that the scope of cyber education becomes an important function for those in the field as inspired by the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE). NICE is meant to establish an operational, sustainable and continually improving cybersecurity education program for the nation to use sound cyber practices that will enhance the nations security.

1	Bypassing the traditional route of winning in the playoffs, the 8-8 Jacksonville Jaguars stunned the NFL Monday by exploiting a little-known loophole to qualify for Super Bowl XLV. 'Although the Jaguars didn't beat any teams in the postseason, they filled out the paperwork properly, handed in the 350-page application on time, and got the signatures of the necessary CEOs and small-business owners,' said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, adding that while the unorthodox route to the Super Bowl has been in place for more than 30 years, teams who consider taking it usually become discouraged by having to write essays on both the Federalist Papers and Thomas Pynchon's V. 'So here we are. Steelers, Packers, Jags. All three, very deserving teams.' According to Goodell, the Jaguars almost didn't make the Super Bowl, but center Brad Meester was able to prove he had opened up a Roth IRA just before the Jan. 1 deadline. 
2	Obama: No Terrorist Has Successfully Executed An Attack On Our Homeland This week, President Barack Obama outraged Americans everywhere when he seemed to forget about the terrorist attacks our country has faced in the name of ISIS. Completely overlooking San Bernardino and Orlando, Obama argued that in his eight years of presidency, there had not been an attack on our soil Of course, this is a massive insult to the families of those who have lost their loved ones because Obama fails to recognize the threat of radical Islamic terrorism to this day. It also doesnt sit well with the men and women who have put their lives on the line to protect our country overseas. What do you think? Are you ready for Obama to be out of the White House once and for all? MSNBC (@MSNBC) December 6, 2016 
1	On Monday, U.S. Sen. Alfonse D'Amato (R-NY) called for a special investigative panel to look into allegations that U.S. Secretary of Education Richard Riley forged hall passes for personal use. 'Riley occupies the most powerful position in American education and has almost unlimited access to the nation's book of passes,' D'Amato said. 'We are determined to find out whether he has been faking signatures on hall passes to go to the bathroom and use the snack machines whenever he wants, maintaining the illusion of permission.' If found guilty, Riley could face suspension and be called in, along with his parents, for a meeting with President Clinton. 
2	Leaked Docs Show Who Gave Hillary 100 Million, Americans Are Outraged, This Is Treason According to a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation, Bill and Hillary Clinton have received at least $100 million from autocratic Persian Gulf states and their leaders. This clearly undermines Hillarys claim that she can carry out independent policies in the Middle East. As a presidential candidate, the amount of foreign funds that Clintons have accepted is simply unprecedented, nation security analyst Patrick Poole commented. These regimes are buying access, he continued. Youve got the Saudis. Youve got the Kuwaitis, Oman, Qatar and the UAE. There are massive conflicts of interest. Its beyond comprehension. Overall, the Clinton Foundation is believed to have accepted more than $85 million in donations from five Persian Gulf states and their monarchs. There is virtually no reason that a foreign leader would support an American presidential candidate to such a degree. Clearly, there is a secret agenda in the works hereand one that potentially puts Americans in danger. What do you think? Do the Clintons need to be kept far away from the White House? 
2	Texas Teen Dead For 20 Minutes Says He Spoke With Jesus Before Being Revived 17-year-old Zack Clements is a football player at Victory Life Academy in Brownwood, Texas. Just weeks ago, he was running in PE class when he collapsed. His life would forever be changed. Zack later found out that his heart had stopped. According to hospital reports, he did not have a pulse for nearly 20 minutes. He was just about to be pronounced dead when his heartbeat reappeared. When Zack woke up, he had an amazing experience to share with his grateful family. When I was out those 20 minutes, I saw a man who had long ruffled hair and kind of a thick beard, and it didnt take me long to realize that that was Jesus, Zack told reporters. I went up to him and he put his hand on my shoulder and he told me everything would be alright and not to worry. While Zacks father admits its a hard story to accept, there is no other explanation for why Zack was saved that day. Listen to his story below and tell us what you think. Is Zacks story remarkable?

3	The U.S./Turkey Plan For Seizing, Holding, And Occupying Syrian Territory In RaqqaBy Brandon Turbeville According to the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Joseph Dunford, after meeting with his Turkish counterpart, that The coalition and Turkey will work together on the long-term plan for seizing, holding and governing Raqqa. The statement by Dunford seems to confirm the fact that the United States will not move forward in its campaign for Raqqa without working closely with the Turks, who are themselves concerned about the makeup of the proxy forces destined to hold power once the campaign is over. The Syrian Democratic Forces, the proxies of choice in this battle, are made up of many Kurdish militias and fighters, an issue that provides much worry on the part of the Turkish government. As CNN reports, But DoD News reported that Sundays meeting reinforced a longstanding agreement that the US-led coalition would not move ahead with the seizure of Raqqa, without incorporating the Turks and their perspective into our plans, according to Dunford. The Turkish army said in a statement that the military heads had discussed the methods of a common struggle against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, especially in Al Bab and Raqqa in coming days. What we are working on right now is to find the right mix of forces for the operation. He said the US would work with Turkey to determine the composition of the forces that would seize and govern the territory, he said. He said the right approach was for locals to lead the mission to retake the city and run it after ISIS was driven out. [The operation needs] a predominantly Arab and Sunni Arab force, he said, according to DoD News. And there are forces like that. There is the moderate Syrian opposition, the vetted Syrian forces and the Free Syrian Army forces, and there is some initial outreach to forces in Raqqa proper. Dunford said the SDF were moving south to isolate ISIS positions in Raqqa and the surrounding areas a phase that would take months. Essentially, the United States and Turkey are devising a plan by which to control Raqqa and the territory surrounding it by using proxy forces to overthrow other proxy forces. In other words, the fighters in Raqqa will simply undergo another name change, be replaced with a heavy Kurdish contingent, and act as a carefully placed chess piece by which to prevent the Syrian or Russian militaries from liberating the city. After all, these SDF forces will be presented as moderate, a label that cannot be attached to the ISIS fighters currently inhabiting Raqqa. Raqqa has acted as the ISIS capital since the mysterious appearance of the group two years ago and has gone virtually untouched as the Syrian military has been bogged down in major cities and western/central areas of the country in their fight against the Western-backed terrorists. Notably, despite its rhetoric of fighting to degrade and destroy ISIS, the U.S.-led coalition has yet to bomb Raqqa. Fresh on the heels of a major public relations victory in Palmyra, however, the Syrian military is now inching toward Raqqa and, if successful, it will score one of the biggest victories in the five-year war. This is not only because the de facto ISIS capital will be eliminated or because the SAA will gain more territory, it is because the liberation of Raqqa will be yet another example of how the Syrian military will have accomplished in weeks what the United States and coalition members have claimed may take a decade to do. It will be another instance where the lack of will on the part of the United States to actually destroy Daesh is put on display for the rest of the world, either causing the U.S. to look weak in the eyes of the world or exposing it for actually supporting the terrorist organization to begin with. Regardless, the victory for the Syrian government will be twofold. That is, unless the U.S. gets there first . . . . The U.S. has been using the presence of ISIS in Syria as an excuse to bomb, send Special Forces, publicly support terrorists, and possibly invade since the Western-backed terror group appeared on the scene two years ago. Yet, despite its rhetoric, the United States and its coalition have not bombed Raqqa and have largely abstained from bombing (see here and here) any other terrorist group. Instead, the U.S. has focused on bombing Syrian military targets, civilians and civilian infrastructure (see here also), and acting as a deterrent to the Syrian militarys movement in many rebel-held areas of the country. Now, however, the United States seems to have great interest in Raqqa as it aids its loose collection of terrorists, fanatical Kurds, and Arabs known as the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in battles around the ISIS capital. So why the sudden interest in Raqqa? Its fairly simple. The United States sees clearly that the Syrian military and its Russian allies are going to liberate Raqqa soon enough and the U.S. does not want to suffer another public relations setback. A defeat for ISIS is thus a humiliation for the United States. That fact alone should raise some eyebrows. Regardless, the United States would like to have its own victory in Raqqa before the Syrians and the Russians can have theirs. If the SDF is able to take Raqqa, the U.S. will then be able to shout from the rooftops that America has liberated Raqqa and defeated ISIS in its own capital. The U.S. also has another goal in Raqqa the theft of more Syrian territory by using its proxy forces going by the name of the SDF. Whether or not ISIS proper is in control of Raqqa is merely a secondary concern for the United States. If the SDF succeeds in imposing control over the city and the province, then the West will have succeeded in cementing control over the area in the hands of its proxy terrorists once again, but with yet another incarnation of the same Western-backed jihadist fanaticism. The U.S. can then use the moderate rebel label to keep Russia and Syria from bombing the fighters who merely assumed a position handed to them, albeit through some level of violence, by ISIS. This also allows the Western powers supporting their terrorist proxies the opportunity to provide the terrorists with a parcel of land inside Syrias borders which can be used as a forward operating base and a staging ground for more attacks and operations launched at the rest of the country. With the situation as it stands, there is now the very real possibility of some type of major confrontation taking place in Raqqa that could very well have international ramifications. On one hand, there is the Syrian military, backed by the Russian Air Force and Russian Special Forces heading east to Raqqa while, on the other side, there is the SDF, backed by the U.S. Air and Special Forces, heading west toward Raqqa. Both sides are in a race to gain control over the ISIS capital, gain territory, and declare a victory for the world to see. But what if they arrive in Raqqa at the same time? In other words, there is a distinct potential that, in the race for Raqqa, the Syrian/Russian alliance might find itself face to face with the possibility of direct military conflict with the U.S./SDF (terrorist) alliance. At that point, the question will be who, if either, will back down? If both forces decide to push forward, the result could be devastating not only for Syria but for the rest of the world. Regardless of what happens, it is important to remember that the Syrian military is acting entirely in self-defense both against the terrorists posing as rebels and the United States. Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah have all been invited in to Syria, acting legally and with the assent of the Syrian government, while the United States and its coalition are once again acting completely outside of international law in an attempt to shore up its terrorist proxies; and, once again, the United States and its coalition of the willing is pushing the patience of the rest of the world.

3	ALERT: Texas Senate Bill 303: Doctors of DeathBen Snodgrass SB 303 empowers doctors to place Do Not Resuscitate orders in the files of sickly children and the elderly without their consent. No one, not even the patient or a member of his family can remove this death sentence. No one, that is, except a panel of doctors. View PDF of State Bill 303 here. We spoke to Susan King, the House author of SB 303, who said that hospitals have better judgment than parents as to whether their child should continue to receive life-support treatment. This bill takes away the parents authority to make important healthcare decisions for their child and gives that authority to a doctor. SB 303 grants doctors complete immunity from lawsuits from DNRs. Legal liability for DNR orders would hold the doctor responsible for their actions. Removing liability removes accountability. Doesnt the bill require notification before a DNR order is placed? Can the hospital still remove artificially administered food and water? Are there beneficial aspects to the bill? Contact your Representative in opposition to this hospital euthanasia bill. Doctors should not have the power to issue death sentences in the form of Do Not Resuscitate orders against the will of the patient and the patients family.

3	The TRUTH about Chinas Massive Gold HoardJeff Clark, Senior Precious Metals Analyst One report claims, for example, that gold demand in China is down because the yuan has fallen and made the metal more expensive in the country. Sounds reasonable, and it has a grain of truth to it. But as youll see below, it completely misses the bigger picture, because it overlooks a major development with how the country now imports precious metals. Ive seen so many misleading headlines over the last couple months that I thought it time to correct some of the misconceptions. Ill let you decide if mainstream North American analysts are stupid or not. The basis for the misunderstanding starts with the fact that the Chinese think differently about gold. They view gold in the context of its role throughout history and dismiss the Western economist who arrogantly declares it an outdated relic. They buy in preparation for a new monetary ordernot as a trade they hope earns them a profit. Combine golds historical role with current events, and we would all do well to view our holdings in a slightly more Chinese light, one that will give us a more accurate indication of whether we have enough, of what purpose it will actually serve in our portfolio, and maybe even when we should sell (or not). The horizon is full of flashing indicators that signal the Chinese view of gold is more prudent for what lies ahead. Gold will be less about making money and more about preparing for a new international monetary system that will come with historic consequences to our way of life. With that context in mind, lets contrast some recent Western headlines with whats really happening on the ground in China. Consider the big picture message behind these developments and see how well your portfolio is geared for a Chinese future This headline comes from mainstream claims that China is buying less gold this year than last. The International Business Times cites a 30% drop in demand during the Golden Week holiday period in May. Many articles point to lower net imports through Hong Kong in the second quarter of the year. The buying frenzy, triggered by a price slump last April, has not been repeated this year, reports Kitco. However, these articles overlook the fact that the Chinese government now accepts gold imports directly into Beijing. In other words, some of the gold that normally went through Hong Kong is instead shipped to the capital. Bypassing the normal trade routes means these shipments are essentially done in secret. This makes the Western headline misleading at best, and at worst could lead investors to make incorrect decisions about golds future. China may have made this move specifically so its import figures cant be tracked. It allows Beijing to continue accumulating physical gold without the rest of us knowing the amounts. This move doesnt imply demand is fallingjust the opposite. And dont forget that China is already the largest gold producer in the world. It is now reported to have the second largest in-ground gold resource in the world. China does not export gold in any meaningful amount. So even if it were true that recorded imports are falling, it would not necessarily mean that Chinese demand has fallen, nor that China has stopped accumulating gold. China Didnt Announce an Increase in Reserves as Expected A number of analysts (and gold bugs) expected China to announce an update on their gold reserves in April. Thats because its widely believed China reports every five years, and the last report was in April 2009. This is not only inaccurate, it misses a crucial point. First, Beijing publicly reported their gold reserve amounts in the following years: Prior to this, China didnt report any change for over 20 years; it reported 395 tonnes from 1980 to 2001. There is no five-year schedule. There is no schedule at all. Theyll report whenever they want, andthis is the crucial pointprobably not until it is politically expedient to do so. Depending on the amount, the news could be a major catalyst for the gold market. Why would the Chinese want to say anything that might drive gold prices upwards, if they are still buying? Even with All Their Buying, Chinas Gold Reserve Ratio Is Still Low Almost every report youll read about gold reserves measures them in relation to their total reserves. The US, for example, has 73% of its reserves in gold, while China officially has just 1.3%. Even the World Gold Council reports it this way. But this calculation is misleading. The US has minimal foreign currency reservesand China has over $4 trillion. The denominators are vastly different. A more practical measure is to compare gold reserves to GDP. This would tell us how much gold would be available to support the economy in the event of a global currency crisis, a major reason for having foreign reserves in the first place and something Chinese leaders are clearly preparing for. The following table shows the top six holders of gold in GDP terms. (Eurozone countries are combined into one.) Notice what happens to Chinas gold-to-GDP ratio when their holdings move from the last-reported 1,054-tonne figure to an estimated 4,500 tonnes (a reasonable figure based on import data). This line of thinking assumes Chinas leaders have a set goal for how much gold they want to accumulate, which may or may not be the case. My estimate of 4,500 tonnes of current gold reserves might be high, but it may also be much less than whatever may ultimately satisfy Chinas ambitions. Sooner or later, though, theyll tell us what they have, but as above, that will be when it works to Chinas benefit. The Gold Price Is Weak Because Chinese GDP Growth Is Slowing Most mainstream analysts point to the slowing pace of Chinas economic growth as one big reason the gold price hasnt broken out of its trading range. China is the worlds largest gold consumer, so on the surface this would seem to make sense. But is there a direct connection between Chinas GDP and the gold price? Over the last six years, there has been a very slight inverse ;correlation (-0.07) between Chinese GDP and the gold price, meaning they act differently slightly more often than they act the same. Thus, the Western belief characterized above is inaccurate. The data signal that, if Chinas economy were to slow, gold demand wont necessarily decline. The fact is that demand is projected to grow for reasons largely unrelated to whether their GDP ticks up or down. The World Gold Council estimates that Chinas middle class is expected to grow by 200 million people, to 500 million, within six years. (The entire population of the US is only 316 million.) They thus project that private sector demand for gold will increase 25% by 2017, due to rising incomes, bigger savings accounts, and continued rapid urbanization. (170 cities now have over one million inhabitants.) Throw in Chinas deep-seated cultural affinity for gold and a supportive government, and the overall trend for gold demand in China is up. The Gold Price Is Determined at the Comex, Not in China One lament from gold bugs is that the price of goldregardless of how much people pay for physical metal around the worldis largely a function of what happens at the Comex in New York. One reason this is true is that the West trades in gold derivatives, while the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) primarily trades in physical metal. The Comex can thus have an outsized impact on the price, compared to the amount of metal physically changing hands. Further, volume at the SGE is thin, compared to the Comex. But a shift is underway In May, China approached foreign bullion banks and gold producers to participate in a global gold exchange in Shanghai, because as one analyst put it, The worlds top producer and importer of the metal seeks greater influence over pricing. The invited bullion banks include HSBC, Standard Bank, Standard Chartered, Bank of Nova Scotia, and the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ). Theyve also asked producing companies, foreign institutions, and private investors to participate. The global trading platform was launched in the citys pilot free-trade zone, which could eventually challenge the dominance of New York and London. This is not a proposal; it is already underway. Further, the enormous amount of bullion China continues to buy reduces trading volume in North America. The Chinese dont sell, so that metal wont come back into the market anytime soon, if ever. This concern has already been publicly voiced by some on Wall Street, which gives you an idea of how real this trend is. There are other related events, but the point is that going forward, China will have increasing sway over the gold price (as will other countries: the Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange is to begin a spot gold contract within three months). And thats a good thing, in our view. Dont Be Ridiculous; the US Dollar Isnt Going to Collapse In spite of all the warning signs, the US dollar is still the backbone of global trading. Its the go-to currency everywhere in the world, say government economists. When a gold bug (or anyone else) claims the dollar is doomed, they laugh. But who will get the last laugh? You may have read about the historic energy deal recently made between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Over the next 30 years, about $400 billion of natural gas from Siberia will be exported to China. Roughly 25% of Chinas energy needs will be met by 2018 from this one deal. The construction project will be one of the largest in the world. The contract allows for further increases, and it opens Russian access to other Asian countries as well. This is big. The twist is that transactions will not be in US dollars, but in yuan and rubles. This is a serious blow to the petrodollar. While this is a major geopolitical shift, it is part of a larger trend already in motion: You dont need a crystal ball to see the future for the US dollar; the trend is clearly moving against it. An increasing amount of global trade will be done in other currencies, including the yuan, which will steadily weaken the demand for dollars. The shift will be chaotic at times. Transitions this big come with complications, and not one of them will be good for the dollar. And there will be consequences for every dollar-based investment. US-dollar holders can only hope this process will be gradual. If it happens suddenly, all US-dollar based assets will suffer catastrophic consequences. In his new book, The Death of Money, Jim Rickards says he believes this is exactly what will happen. The clearest result for all US citizens will be high inflation, perhaps at runaway levelsand much higher gold prices. Gold Is More Important than a Profit Statement Only a deflationary bust could keep the gold price from going higher at some point. That is still entirely possible, yet even in that scenario, gold could win as most other assets crash. Otherwise, Im convinced a mid-four-figure price of gold is in the cards. But remember: Its not about the price. Its about the role gold will serve protecting wealth during a major currency upheaval that will severely impact everyones finances, investments, and standard of living. Most advisors who look out to the horizon and see the same future China sees believe you should hold 20% of your investable assets in physical gold bullion. I agree. Anything less will probably not provide the kind of asset and lifestyle protection youll need. In the meantime, dont worry about the gold price. Chinas got your back. You dont have to worry about silver, either, which we think holds even greater potential for investors. In the July issue of my newsletter, BIG GOLD, we show why were so bullish on golds little cousin.

3	Japan Election An Incredible Dissociation From Public OpinionRichard Wilcox, Contributor The mechanism for this to occur is that Japan has begun to reform the more democratic proportional representation model toward the US model of winner-take-all. Through this new system voters are given fewer choices for candidates. Like the US model: vote for tweedle dee or tweedle dum, its democracy. The main choices in Japan were between the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) which was just an offshoot of the LDP to begin with, and the LDP. With the erosion of proportional representation, the LDP Managed to Win 2/3 of Seats Even Though It Only Got 42% of Votes Cast (2). The critically minded Tokyo News stated: The current election system for the Lower House is Small Electoral DistrictElection and Proportional Representation Election.The Small Electoral District Election is aimed at creating a two-party system by concentrating the votes, and LDP won three times as many seats as the percentage of the votes in the total eligible voters indicates. It is an incredible dissociation from the public opinion. As the Ex SKF blogger notes, electoral reform was pushed for in order to create the two-party system for political stability. It has resulted in a huge swing, instead. The US has the Small District Election system, but not foolhardy enough to elect all representatives all at once (Ibid.). It may be true that [t]he public were looking for a way to punish the ruling Democratic Party of Japan for its policy failures (3). But they may get the opposite of what they want. That is called cutting off your nose to spite your face. Ouch! After World War II the United States of Americas Central Intelligence Agency created the LDP to serve as a compliant partner in American imperialism (4; 5; 6). Japans economy thrived during the Korean and Vietnam wars, morality aside, it was an astute business strategy that Japan was offered and took full advantage. From the 1950s through the 1980s, the Japanese economy benefited from aspecial Cold War relationship with the United States. This relationship allowed Japanese firms relatively easy access to American technology and American consumers. In addition, the Korean War and the Vietnam War provided Japan with an unusual external fiscal stimulus from American procurement spending that poured billions of U.S. dollars into Japanese firms who supplied the American war effort (7). Thus, whoever voters cast their ballots for, major candidates are controlled by the Nuclear Cartel (8). When Prime Minister Naoto Kan stood up to the bastards they tossed him aside like a rag doll and put Noda in his place, followed logically by the even more brazenly criminal minded Shinzo Abe. The LDP president who can fast-eat curry and rice with pork cutlet on top, who can steal a seat from a senior citizen on JR train and pretend hes asleep after scolding him for scolding him, and a third-generation politician whose grandfather, having been arrested as Class-A war criminal after the World War II, was somehow escaped execution and later became the prime minister of Japan, wants to change the Japanese Constitution. (9). Abes strategy is to essentially follow the EU/USA anti-democratic model of having policy decided by pointy-headed bureaucrats (EU) and dictator executives who bypass congress and sign endless executive orders to detain and murder us with impunity (Bush/Obama). Prying power away from the nuclear industry wont be easy given their stranglehold on politics (10) and their fiendish plans for the public to let them eat yellowcake (11). Abe has threatened that he will consider revoking the ban on construction of new nuclear reactors after he takes office. Astonishingly, despite the March 11, 2011 nuclear disaster and the blundering stupidity that led to it, three reactors are under construction and nine more are at the planning stage. Abe stated that [w]ed like to review how to think about the issue nationwide. This is patent nonsense many polls and petitions show the publics overwhelming opposition to nuclear power. All the fuss is unnecessary given there are viable alternatives to nuclear, oil and coal energy dependency (13; 14). My feisty activist colleague, Tony Boys, told me that there is still a small but vibrant anti-nuke movement at work. He went to the nuclear phase-out summit at Tokai Village where the 800-seat hall was packed. He related that nuclear expert, Hiroaki Koide, was very persuasive in urging folks to keep up the fight. A few years ago Tony and I attended a lecture at a Japanese university given by Lester Brown of the Worldwatch Institute. Worldwatch is credited for many years of environmental research and the popularizing of energy consumption issues. The professor who was in charge of the lecture, a Japanese fellow with a distinctly dazed apparition, droned on for 45 minutes hemming and hawing and promoting HIMSELF, all the while Lester sat there. Finally they let Lester speak, wearing his trademark bow tie, for only 20 minutes. His microphone did not work. Somehow we managed to make out that Lester strongly recommended geothermal as an important energy producer for Japan. He even chastised the audience as if to get them riled up and do something about it. However, the true role of universities it is to promote fluffy graduate programs that do not challenge the status quo. Hotshot professors (intelligence operatives?) receive lavish remuneration and government subsidies for what passes as research while letting exciting ideas flounder. By the way, dont eat the flounder, it may be radioactive. Richard Wilcox has a Ph.D. in Environmental Studies from a social science, holistic perspective.

3	Syria, lies exposed, broken paradigms, dead pigsJon Rappoport Why should we believe him? There are ample reports that the rebels used those weapons. Those would be the rebels the US government is backing and arming. Obama appears to trust he has the votes in Congress to approve his attack. He sees this as a feel-good moment when Congress and the White House are united. Look, we can work together. He referred to Congress as representatives of the American people. So Obama is a comedian now. Hes suggesting that all of America will share in this act of war. Congress represents the American people the way a herd of lions is accountable to deer and antelope. Here is the piece Id already finished an hour before Obama made his speech. I dont need to change anything, except perhaps to elevate the dosage of mescaline it would take to make Brian Williams finally see the light. Brian Williams, the leading disinformation media specialist on American television, has accidentally ingested a drug before his broadcast. Somehow, through a manufacturers error, mescaline was inserted in a headache pill. Brian just happened to take a pill in that bad batch. His mind is scrambled. He suddenly realizes hes been on a lying jag for decades. What a revelation. He sits there on camera, his eyes shining. His mind is all over the place. But he bites his lip and begins: Ladies and gentlemen Im Brian Williams. Freedom is the wild card in any so-called system. Hows that for my opener? Thats what I want to tell you, folksthe wild card. Yesuh So listen up: Bureaucrats and other lackeys of the State are trained to work as if they are dealing with closed systems. They react to any deviation (freedom) as if its a black widow spider in a hotel bed. Technocrats, the leading edge of the State, are trying to build a machine that incorporates all humans. They hail this as a future in which the right answer will always be obtained. You have no right to be wrong. This is what we are coming to. Get it? You can see this in the run-up to the planned attack on Syria. Leaders are telling us, just as they did prior to the invasion in Iraq, that all the facts add up to the right answer. Once that answer is extracted, there is no turning back. Syria. Chemical warfare was used. The Assad government used it. Thats the correct answer. Therefore, war. End of debate. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the picture looks a little different. Im picturing that picture, ladies and gentlemen. The commander-in-chief is being briefed: Well, Mr. President, I want to recap where we are on Syria. Im waiting for Prince Bandar to tell us. Ha-ha. Anyhow, we enabled the Syrian rebels or the terrorists, or al Qaeda, or the freedom fighters, or whatever were calling them today. We helped arm them. Now were about to bomb Syria to keep them in the game. These rebels are the same people were supposedly fighting in Afghanistan, right? Im not against any of this, but Im just saying its getting harder to sell it. And if our story line crumbles, were in deep trouble, Mr. President. People are more aware now. Weve played both sides against the middle so many times before, the scenario is almost dead on arrival Hi. Brian Williams still here. Let me make a leap, all you good folks out there in television land. The massive op/narrative called The New Age, which began its rapid spread in the 1960s, was designed to disguise our fascist government by moving consciousness to an appreciation for, and an insistence on, so-called spiritual unity. Barack Obama was supposed to be the first president standing for that apotheosis. He would, in a sense, rule by faith, the faith of his supporters. He would sweep away all objections to government as the supplier of spiritual unity. Governments only hope is to somehow appear supernatural and inevitable. It cant stand on its own. Wars, especially, require spiritual faith in the mission. Obama has failed on this count, and with the opposition to an attack on Syria coming from so many quarters, there is very little cover left for him. On a larger scale, the attempt to create a closed system, through a military-industrial-oil complex, is falling apart. Oil as the only recognized energy source for the planet determines the chessboard and the playbook. In one stroke, it names the geopolitical hot spots and the conflicts and the need for war as the American solution. In truth, there are many technologies that could, if developed sufficiently, take us on the road to energy abundance. They are being stopped by the military-industrial-oil complex, not only to keep us on the oil teat, but also to keep us pinned to the need to make war to guarantee the oil flow. But this system is losing its solid feel. Its becoming more transparent as an op, long past its prime. Every significant geopolitical story on the nightly news is a dead pig painted with lipstick. On the home front, media, fed by politicians, are focusing on dangerous people who value freedom. This is a tale so old it creaks. It was told in ancient Egypt, in Greece, in Rome during the death throes of the Empire. Now, in America, it can only be spun by fatuously accusing freedom lovers of racism. The Surveillance State is losing public support by the day. The notion that the government has to spy on everybody all the time to find the terrorists is so off-key, it sounds like a barroom medley sung by drunken sailors. Or a pronouncement rolled out at the height of the Catholic Inquisition. To impose a closed system on the populace, its necessary to reduce the definition of what a person is. In this modern age, that strategy involves promoting stripped-down, lowest-common-denominator thought as a marvelous advance that will enable human-machine interactionsbringing us to the brink of a new techno-paradise. Its such a desperate tale, one wonders how the sellers can make it through the day without falling down and laughing themselves out of court. The answer is: government funding. Like the oil monopoly, like the war machine, like the nuclear-energy titan, the government dispenses $$ to make the myths endure. The pinnacle of this corruption is war. Offensive war. Not war to protect the home front, but to establish new beachheads of conquest, under the pretension of helping to liberate the oppressed. To create a sense of unity where unity was lacking. The proposed attack on Syria is the latest footnote. Its not working. People are waking up. Also, the man in the White House just cant create new jobs. Hes putting on a show of trying, but he cant do it, because hes not interested in doing it. He wants more victims. So the people are looking at him with a tougher gaze. They dont trust him. On the issue of war against Syria, Obama can only try to take a moral high ground based on the idea that a chemical attack occurred. Thats all hes got. He cant peddle spiritual unity in this case. Hes dying on the vine. The whole thing is a sham and a scam and a cardboard front. Get it? Im trying to tell you, my fellow Americans, ladies and gentlemen, all you good folks out there, whats really happening. Im hitting the high points. We, in the media, are your basic liars. Thats our skill. Thats what makes us great. Right now, were selling the war to you. Were trying, damn it, but its not easy. Weve got so little to work with. Dianne Sawyer, Scott Pelley, and I are carnival barkers. We dress it up, but thats all we are. We fake it every night. I dont even need to be here. You could have a CGI of me, programmed with messages from the White House, polished by our writers at NBC. Now, in fact, looking back at my career, thats what it feels like. I was never here. I dont know where the hell I was, but through a stroke of fate, Im back. And Im trying to feed you a little truth. Just think oil and keep thinking oil. Oil pipeline through Syria. Oil in the Middle East. Anywaywhere was I? I could show you pictures of a hundred, two hundred places around the world where governments are torturing and killing their own people and putting them in cages. Is the US supposed to go into all those places and liberate the oppressed? Are we supposed to force free elections from the North Pole to Tierra del Fuego? And what is a free election? Ill tell you. Its the same big-time players behind the scenes cooking the vote for a new bunch of tyrants. The only way to stop thatand its a long shotis to form a government based on severely limiting the power of government. Wow. What an idea! Where did that come from? Am I, Brian Williams, the first person to see that? Anyway, Syria is a crazy op thats gotten out of control. Weve got Egypt, Libya, Syria, Iraq. Why would the US government be trying to upset the apple cart in those places? To free the people? Dont be stupid. To obtain cheaper oil prices? How is that working out? If Dianne, Scott, and I were real reporters, this is the issue wed be working on. Is this a destabilizing operation aimed at disrupting the flow of oil? Is this a high-level game in which the US and other industrial economies take a huge energy hit? Is this a prelude to the acceleration of the forces of elite Globalism? Is this the old create-chaos and then bring in order on top of that? Right now, thats what it looks like to me. Sitting here, thats my thesis. I dont think Ill be able to get anybody in the White House to give me a straight answer, though. But its a start. Sofor all the good people here at NBC News, good night. Ill be back tomorrow, possibly broadcasting from a holding cell under CIA headquarters at Langley. In which case, dont believe anything I say. Signing off. Brian Williams.

3	DoD Plans to Use Preemptive Deadly Force on Hackers, Cyber ThreatsEric Blair A new report from the Department of Defense outlines the militarys capability to deter cyber threats with some pretty heavy firepower, including nuclear weapons. The paper written by the Defense Science Board described the best types of bombs to use on hackers to be Global selective strike systems e.g. penetrating bomber, submarines with long range cruise missiles, Conventional Prompt Global Strike (CPGS), survivable national and combatant command, while Nuclear weapons would remain the ultimate response and anchor the deterrence ladder for cyber threats. The report implies that the United States might have to rely on nuclear weapons to retaliate after a large-scale cyber attack, Foreign Policywrites. Although it seems that Foreign Policy is reporting shocking revelations, theyre actually engaged in subtle misinformation. They claim that this strike capability is only to be used in retaliation after a cyber attack as opposed to preemptive strikes to prevent cyber threats, which the military is already authorized to do. For all the talk of the indefinite detention section of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a little known provision gave President Obama the authority to conduct offensive operations in cyberspace. SEC. 954. MILITARY ACTIVITIES IN CYBERSPACE. 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, subject to (1) the policy principles and legal regimes that the Department follows for kinetic capabilities, including the law of armed conflict; and (2) the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1541 et seq.). Prior to this NDAA provision, in July 2011, thePentagon announcedcyberspace to be their operational domainand claimed that the U.S. canunder the laws of armed conflict, respond to serious cyber attacks with a proportional and justified military response at the time and place of our choosing, said Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn during the release of The Department of Defense Strategy for Operating in Cyberspace. This week we heard Rand Paul speak much about the law of armed conflict or Martial Law in his talking filibuster of John Brennan over drone strikes on American soil, which is a related concern since the NDAA also officially labeled the U.S. as part of the battlefield. Paul reiterated that if Americans can be treated the same as an enemy under the law of armed conflict, there is no due process protection, as well as more flexible rules of engagement than those that restrict the police. Just ask the Guantanamo prisoners or Bradley Manning how due process works under the laws of war. Or ask the family of the 16-year-old American murdered by a targeted drone strike about the rules of engagement. Therefore due process will not be needed to take offensive action against cyber threats under the laws of war. In other words, hackers everywhere may be facing a lethal force if theyresuspectedof engaging in cyber attacks against the U.S. or its allies and interests. The report, however, urges US military leaders to develop cyber escalation scenarios and red lines that could prompt the use of force. Or simply put, when can they pull the trigger on a cyber threat. Of course, just as the legal justification for drone strikes has remained classified, surely, this will as well. Here is a nifty illustration they provided to help us visualize how the threat levels are designed for hackers: Does anyone in Congress understand just how dangerous it is to authorize the use of preemptive deadly force against suspected cyber threats without due process?

1	OTTAWAVeterans of the '80s cult classic TV show You Can't Do That On Television filed a $1 billion class-action lawsuit against Nickelodeon Monday, alleging that the network exposed them to a bevy of toxins which led to a chronic affliction called Green Slime Syndrome. Ex-Nickelodeon Stars Relate Horrors Of Green Slime Syndrome 'The producers assured us the slime was safe, and that getting drenched with it for five or more takes wouldn't cause any lasting damage,' cast member Alasdair Gillis said. 'I was only 12. I didn't ask questions; I just did what the director said. Now I live with constant pain.' Gillis then pulled up his sleeves to reveal the suppurating pustules that cover his forearms and wrists. 'Most days I just sit on the couch and relive the shows,' Gillis said. 'It's inexcusable that the directors punished me for having the courage to say 'I don't know.'' You Can't Do That On Television, a Canadian children's sketch-comedy show, aired on Nickelodeon from 1979 to 1990, with a cast largely made up of local amateur child actors. Many sketches were punctuated with physical humor, with the actors frequently doused in slime, water, or foodstuffs. Since YCDTOTV ended production, as many as 50 cast members have complained of a host of symptoms, including chronic pain and fatigue, numbness in the extremities, skin rashes, headache, nausea, and depression. Gillis said he personally was doused with four different colors of slime, as well as spaghetti sauce, ink, mud, motor oil, soup, and silly stringall within the span of one season. 'If you tell people you have GSS, they act like you're just a coddled child actor,' Gillis added. ''Part of the harsh reality of show-biz,' they say. But they don't know what it was like, man. Now, 20 years later, I still wince every time I hear someone say 'water.' I still request Evian in restaurants. I can't even be in the same room as a cream pie.' Gillis said cast members didn't file the lawsuit sooner because it took years for their doctors to make the connection between the mysterious ailments and the slime to which victims were exposed during the show. 'I left the show in 1986, and about a year later, I got a rash all over my face that just wouldn't go away,' Gillis said. 'Then I started having debilitating migraines and shooting pains in my back. It was when my fingers went numb that I knew something had to be wrong. I bounced from doctor to doctor, until a physician in Beverly Hills sat me down and asked me if I'd ever been exposed to comic props. Finally, I knew it wasn't all in my head. I knew it was the slime.' Cast member Marjorie Silcoff said she silently suffered a multitude of painful symptoms for years, until she attended a 1999 YCDTOTV reunion and discovered that many of her co-stars were suffering from similar unexplained ailments. 'When Les Lye [who played popular characters Barth, Ross, Senator Prevort, and El Capitano on the show] walked in with the left side of his face paralyzed, I started crying,' Silcoff said. 'I had a flashback to Barth standing there in the order window beneath the fly paper, holding up his spatula, getting slimed. It was so tragic. He never even had a chance to say his line, 'That's what's in the burgers.'' A Green Slime Syndrome sufferer protests outside of Nickelodeon's New York headquarters. Continued Silcoff: 'We all just stood on the mark like we were told. Christ, when you think about all the things that we were exposed tomustard, milk, Jell-O, grape sodait's incredible that we survived at all.' According to Silcoff, Nickelodeon lawyers continue to claim that GSS is just a stress-related ailment or a form of psychological hysteria. 'They tell our doctors, 'Don't encourage them,'' Silcoff said. 'Some of us gave it our all for 11 years, but that doesn't mean a thing to them. They wish we'd just disappear.' Christine 'Moose' McGlade, who hosted the show from the first season until 1986, said the cast members' inexperience made them willing to expose themselves to danger. 'We were all so young and gung-ho,' McGlade said. 'We thought we'd better do our job if we didn't want the troupe as a whole to suffer. When you're on set, the cast is your family. Once you've been in a food fight with someone, there's a bond that can never really be broken. It's hard for non-actors to understand what it's like under the hot lights of the studio.' Nickelodeon's official position on GSS, released in a statement Monday, is that there is 'no scientific evidence of a unique pattern of illness that can be causally linked to television service at Nickelodeon.' 'Nickelodeon would never under any circumstances endanger any of its actors, particularly children,' the statement read. 'The slime was thoroughly tested and deemed safe. While our sympathies are with the ill actors, Nickelodeon is not responsible for their ailments.' Despite Nickelodeon's denial of wrongdoing, the cast members plan to press on with the lawsuit, pursuing compensation for years of pain and suffering, as well as public acknowledgment of the hidden dangers of sliming. 'Nick is still sliming kids on Slimetime Liveand not just paid actors, either,' Gillis said. 'These are regular kids from the audience who are willing to place themselves in the path of danger for the promise of winning a Game Boy or a box of Hubba Bubba Bubble Tape. Nick even sells the slime commercially, which, frankly, keeps me up at night.' Continued Gillis: 'We're still imploring [former YCDTOTV cast member] Alanis Morissette to come forward. Her support would do a lot to raise awareness of GSS. But would it be enough to erase the suspicion, resistance, and bitterness that has enveloped discussion of this syndrome from the start? I don't know.' 
3	5 Times Corporate Media Got Caught Publishing Fake News Causing the Death and Suffering of MillionsBy Claire Bernish But branding perfectly legitimate outlets with the same scarlet letter as those devoid of integrity deemed the professors list a spurious attempt to defame alternative and independent media anyone dissenting from the lefts mainstream narrative as a whole. This is, in no uncertain terms, a hit list or, at least, a laughable attempt and it fits conveniently into the establishments burgeoning war on independent media disguised as a battle against fake news. When corporate media outlets from the Independent and Business Insider, to the Los Angeles Times and NYMag scrambled over one another to reprint this irresponsibly contrived hit list, they proved yet again a lack of journalistic integrity the same issue that originally caused regular subscribers to abandon them in the first place. Indeed, in this otherwise unknown professors foray into the world of journalism, a glaring mistake was made the only mainstream outlets making the list were those who had heralded Bernie Sanders as the best candidate for the White House. Such an obvious attempt to control thought could only be conjured in a totalitarian regime. In fact, failing to place the exact corporate media organizations on the list, who for nearly a year praised fealty only to Hillary Clinton and for decades have foisted on the public countless mendacious whoppers constitutes a comedic lack of honesty. So, to bring that irony front and center, its imperative to examine some mainstream lies most of which had appalling consequences including the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people in the United States and around the world. President George W. Bush decided to unleash the full force of the U.S. military upon the world in a new policy of war writ large disguised as a war on terrorism following the attacks of September 11, 2001. First arbitrarily designating Afghanistan as its primary victim due to the supposed identities of the attackers, Bush then chose Iraq to feel the wrath, and set out to invade the country following dubious claims Saddam Hussein harbored destructive chemical and biological weapons and was actively seeking far stronger munitions. Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised, the president asserted in a public address on March 17, 2003. This regime has already used weapons of mass destruction against Iraqs neighbors and against Iraqs people. Bushs assertions were questioned by not only human rights experts, but by U.N. weapons inspectors and countless others so shortly after the U.S. invaded the sovereign nation, the New York Times took up the slack to fill in the appropriate casus belli. Judith Miller notoriously reported on a source she described only as an Iraqi scientist who had seen several extensive caches of such weapons stored somewhere in the country. American weapons experts, she claimed, said the scientist told them that President Saddam Husseins government had destroyed some stockpiles of deadly agents as early as the mid-1990s, transferred others to Syria, and had recently focused its efforts instead on research and development projects that are virtually impervious to detection by international inspectors, and even American forces on the ground combing through Iraqs giant weapons plants. In hindsight, Millers problematic report turned out to be horrendously flawed, and the Times spent months attempting to backtrack, but the damage fomenting widescale public support for a war no one wanted the military to undertake had been done. Years later in 2014, the Times after much internal strife again took up Millers case, in a series reporting catastrophic injuries U.S. military personnel suffered in handling chemical weapons in Iraq. But that report, and the parroting of it by multiple other mainstream mainstays, failed to fully disclose Hussein had been oblivious to the stockpiles presence something the CIA had clearly stated in a report. Often, the American mainstream media becomes a de facto government employee, taking the claims of U.S. officials and reporting them as proven fact and nothing exemplifies this penchant better than reporting on the Gulf of Tonkin incident perhaps one of most flagrant lies ever dreamed up as a justification for war. On August 5, 1964, the New York Times reported President Johnson has ordered retaliatory action against gunboats and certain supporting facilities in North Vietnam after renewed attacks against American destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin. Additional outlets, such as the Washington Post, echoed this claim. But it wasnt true. At all. In fact, the Gulf of Tonkin incident, as it became known, turned out to be a fictitious creation courtesy of the government to escalate war in Vietnam leading to the deaths of tens of thousands of U.S. troops and millions of Vietnamese, fomenting the largest anti-war movement in American history, and tarnishing the reputation of a nation once considered at least somewhat noble in the eyes of the world. In 2010, more than 1,100 transcripts from the Vietnam era were released, proving Congress and officials raised serious doubts about the information fed to them by the Pentagon and White House. But while this internal grumbling took place, mainstream media dutifully reported official statements as if the veracity of the information couldnt be disputed. Tom Wells, author of the exhaustive expos The War Within: Americas Battle Over Vietnam, explained the media egregiously erred in almost exclusive reliance on U.S. government officials as sources of information and reluctance to question official pronouncements on national security issues. If due diligence had been performed, and reporters had raised appropriate doubts about the Gulf of Tonkin false flag, its arguable whether support for the contentious war would have lasted as long as it did. CNN sent reporter Amber Lyon and a crew to U.S. ally Bahrain for a documentary about technologys role in the 2011 peoples uprising known as the Arab Spring, ultimately titled iRevolution: Online Warriors of the Arab Spring but what they encountered instead bore the hallmarks of a repressive and violent regime, and its attempt to filter and censor the truth. Lyon and the other CNN reporters went to great lengths to speak with sources participating in the massive uprising one the Bahraini government wished to quash at all costs. By the time the CNN crew arrived, the Guardian reported, many of the sources who had agreed to speak to them were either in hiding or had disappeared. Regime opponents whom they interviewed suffered recriminations, as did ordinary citizens who worked with them as fixers. Leading human rights activist Nabeel Rajab was charged with crimes shortly after speaking to the CNN team. A doctor who gave the crew a tour of his village and arranged meetings with government opponents, Saeed Ayyad, had his house burned to the ground shortly after. Their local fixer was fired ten days after working with them. Even the CNN crew experienced the wrath of the regime, upon showing up to interview one source, the Guardian continued, 20 heavily-armed men, whose faces were covered with black ski masks, jumped from military vehicles, and then pointed machine guns at the journalists, forcing them to the ground. The regimes security forces seized their cameras and deleted their photos and video footage, and then detained and interrogated them for the next six hours. After returning to the U.S., Lyon felt it her duty to expose the abuse being perpetrated by the government of an ally nation but CNN International didnt agree. CNN U.S. eventually aired the one-hour documentary. Once. CNN International never did worse, the organization gave Lyon the cold shoulder, ignoring her repeated requests to return to Bahrain, which would have put CNN ahead of the game in reporting government brutality. Its failure to air the documentary and refusal to provide justification for doing so angered seasoned CNN and other mainstream established journalists across the board. Lyon met with CNN International president Tony Maddox twice he first promised to investigate why the documentary wasnt aired, and then turned against her, warning the journalist not to discuss the matter publicly. Bahraini officials contacted CNN International repeatedly complaining about Lyons continued reporting on what shed witnessed. Intimidation continued until she was eventually laid off, putatively for an unrelated matter. Attempting to save face, CNN International rebuffed the Guardians account and interview with Lyon but the effort was an impotent justification for the obvious failure of integrity. But threats for Lyon to remain silent followed her off the job, and when she persisted in exposing the Bahraini regime, as well as the suppression by CNN, the outlet sent a stern warning to halt. Lyon, however, said she had never signed a non-disclosure agreement and would not be pressured into their lies ultimately walking away reputation in hand something that could not be said for CNN. Wayne Shelby Simmons made guest appearances on Fox News as a security expert with insider expertise from his work as a CIA operative for over a decade. However, Simmons had never been employed by the agency in fact, the imposters lies eventually caught up with him and he was arrested and sentenced to 33 months in prison. Instead of verifying whether Simmons had actually worked for the CIA, Fox News and the Agency allowed him to make fools out of Bill OReilly, Sean Hannity, Andrew Napolitano, Neil Cavuto, and everyone at Fox Friends for over the last twelve years. After building a false reputation as a CIA agent on Fox News, Simmons obtained an interim security clearance when an unnamed government contractor hired him in 2008. Simmons also falsely claimed on national security forms that his prior arrests and criminal convictions were directly related to his supposed intelligence work for the CIA, and that he had previously held a top secret security clearance from 1973 to 2000, The Free Thought Projects Andrew Emett explained. In other words, mainstream Fox News didnt bother with journalism at all proffering fake expertise as the real deal because the outlet failed the most basic of tasks any hourly wage employer would perform. Simmons commentaries werent harmless stabs in the dark, either relentlessly parroting baseless Islamophobic rhetoric to drum up support for the governments insidious war on terror likely poisoned the minds of thousands of viewers, furthering the already divisive atmosphere in the U.S. According to the Drug Policy Alliance, over $51 billion is spent fighting the war on drugs in the United States each year. In 2015, a striking 38.6 percent of all arrests for drug possession were for cannabis 643,121 people were arrested for marijuana-related offenses. What those figures dont show are the millions of lives ruined by criminal conviction for the governments unjustifiable quest to eradicate, demonize, and vilify this beneficial plant. It would be an impossible task to tally the number of families whose homes have been destroyed by SWAT teams searching for marijuana whether or not police bothered to verify an address. An untold number of others have been slain by police for the same reason. But worst of all, the mainstream media propagates nonsensical, false propaganda about cannabis to convince the gullible and ignorant among us to equate it with heroin, cocaine, and other illicit substances. And while a majority of the populace has seen through such lies, some outlets have obstinately continued the drug war seemingly of their own volition. One stunning example occurred in March last year, when Dr. David Samadi made a guest appearance on Fox News to fearmonger the horrors of marijuana and scare the bejeezus out of the viewing audience. It actually causes heart attacks. It increases your heart rate. And on and on, Samadi claimed, fecklessly distorting statistics. Were seeing in Colorado that we had 13 kids that came to the emergency [room] and ended up in the ICU as a result of overdose from marijuana. Now we have crack babies coming in because pregnant women are smoking this whole marijuana business. Fortunately, the Internet has provided the public with alternatives to these corporate media lies and as of two years ago, despite these and other claims about pot being a dangerous substance, Pew Research Center found fully 69 percent of the population felt alcohol was more harmful than cannabis. * * * While this list presents only a few of the bigger lies of the corporate press, there are innumerable examples of its proud history of actual fake news. Keep these in mind when the mainstream presstitutes rush to reprint a hit list targeting journalists and outlets whose narratives counter the establishment. Indeed, it would be the corporate media with its vast captive audience who most deserves to be listed as propagators of lies. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. The greatest weapon in the history of modern warfare, TV Number 1 and 2 were done by the government and pushed by the MSM. All MSM is fake. To quote an infamous lout and traitor Richard M. Nixon (all of them are louts and traitors imho), The American people dont believe anything until they see it on tv. Everything we hear on the news (or, the North, East, West and South, more occult freemasonic woo-woo) has a purpose and is designed to manipulate society in some form or another. They cant maintain their fraud of illusory authority unless all media is complicit and compliant. And they know were waking up to their masquerade, so theyre beginning to up their game. They operate under the false authority of maritime, admiralty, martial law which is in direct opposition to what we were taught, so most of us just go along with it because we believed their lie when they told us they had authority. They do NOT. Their law is Roman Civil Law, ecclesiastical law (Roman pagan churchianity) ONLY, and there is no authority unless we stipulate or contract (give consent) in some manner. This is the truth theyre trying so desperately to keep hidden and that is, their authority is about as real as the news. ALL Citizens of USA must e mail all fake news, lamestream megaliars anchors and head editors and accuse them of murder, conspiracy, espionage, and treason for all the truth they have refused to report on that has led to the deaths of innocent people and other high crimes and misdemeanors! They must be held accountable! FIVE times? You are kidding me, add a zero to it and you are getting closer, but still no where near the mark. I know of several more where the msm have deliberately lied and misrepresented and millions of us knew about it. The Corporate rags are for cleaning up after you dog has crapped in the garden. Nothing else. 
2	Judge Jeanine Pirro Goes All In, Rips Michelle Obama Limb From Limb On Live TV Last week, Michelle Obama demonstrated her absolute lack of respect or class when she went on Oprah to bash Donald Trump, claiming that America has lost hope now that he is our nations President-elect. Now, Judge Jeanine Pirro is firing back on the First Lady with some amazing words of wisdom. See, now, we are feeling what not having hope feels like, Michelle commented. You know. 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, what else do you have when you do not have hope? Pirro did not take her entitled comments lightly. You lived a life few can even imagine at the citadel of power and prestige in the world, she began in a recent segment.

2	BREAKING: Obama Set To Appear In Court For Multiple Felonies An order has come out that may finally cause President Barack Obama to own up to his numerous lies to America. According to reports, a judge ordered Obama to appear in court in Atlanta to face a complaint that claims that Obama is not a natural-born citizen. It is just one of many lawsuits that have been filed with the same information across the country. However, this marks the first time the president has actually been required to respond. An aide to Obama is claiming that any attempt to involved the president personally will fail. He also claimed that the complaints going around the country have absolutely no merit. Still, evidence and questions pointing to the contrary continue to arise. The hearing is set to take place before an administrative judge. According to reports, the Deputy Chief Judge denied a motion by the presidents lawyer to quash the subpoena that calls for the presidents appearance. What do you think will happen? 
1	Chad Halpern, U.S. Ambassador to the West African nation of Bulungi since 1994, has been asked to return to Washington to face allegations that the country does not exist. 'I want to stress that nothing has been substantiated as of yet,' President Clinton told reporters at a press conference Monday. 'But there is a possibility that Ambassador Halpern made the country up.' According to Clinton, suspicions first arose last month when Ghanaian prime minister Kwame Okoye paid an official visit to the U.S. When Secretary of State Warren Christopher asked Okoye for an update on the fighting between the Ghanaian army and Bulungi's Mukka-Lukka rebels during a formal state dinner, Okoye replied, 'I am sorryI do not understand of what you speak.' Christopher then explained to Okoye that Ambassador Halpern had recently informed him that fighting between the two rival nations had reached a breaking point, with Ghana's army advancing all the way to the Bulungian capital of Yabba-Dabba. 'After dinner that night,' Clinton said, 'Secretary Christopher and I made the decision to look Bulungi up in an atlas. Unfortunately, we were unable to find it. We also looked for it in a large dictionary, under several different spellings, but again it was without success.' Ambassador Halpern, 24, of Laguna Beach, CA, was appointed to his post by President Clinton after a chance meeting at a Laguna Beach McDonald's where Halpern was working at the time. After discussing Bulungian politics with Halpern for more than two hours, Clinton was impressed enough to name him ambassador. Bulungian Ambassador Chad Halpern 'Mr. Halpern is a charismatic and persuasive young man,' Clinton said two years ago at a ceremony celebrating the appointment. 'I am confident that with his great expertise, the U.S. can reestablish strong relations with Bulungi and help the nation move beyond all the problems that plagued it in the past, such as last year's brutal tribal war between the Dodos and the Mukka-Lukkas, and the Great Bongo Drought of 1994.' Pending further investigation, Halpern's $14,500 monthly salary, which for the past two years has been sent to his girlfriend in Tahiti, has been suspended. Incidentally, for the past two years, Halpern's girlfriend's phone line in Tahiti has also been serving as a switchboard for routing calls between Halpern and Washington, a situation the ambassador explained was necessary because 'the phones here in Bulungi are just all fucked up.' These conversations, which occurred 'about once every month,' were 'brief but informative,' according to Christopher. Despite suspicions surrounding Halpern, Christopher praised the ambassador, saying he has done 'an excellent job monitoring a period in Bulungian history marked by often intense sectional surfing competitions.' Christopher did not, however, deny that several of the calls were characterized by giggling. Christopher added that while Halpern told him getting a ticket for a flight to Washington was 'a bitch,' the ambassador assured him he would be on the next available plane departing from Bulungi's Primo-Ganja Airport. 
2	Obama Swindles Americans Tax Payers Dollars To Do THIS For Illegals [VIDEO] President Obama has made some very controversial executive orders during his two terms in the White House, but perhaps the most upsetting is his proposal to make illegal immigrants eligible for taxpayer-funded federal benefits like Social Security, disability and Medicare. These are ideas that have been echoed by Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, but anybody with any economic sense can see that this is a terrible idea. Now, the administration is set to argue the case before the Supreme Court to see if Obama actually has the authority to make a decision like this. This sets a very serious precedent and we need to pay attention. 
2	Ann Coutler Unloads On View Host In The Most Epic Way Possible Conservative commentator Ann Coulter has come under fire for her views on immigration after comments she made in her new book. Recently, she made the mistake of speaking her mind on The View and she outraged liberals throughout the nation. So what did Coulter say that was so outrageous? She simply expressed her concerns about immigration and the impact it will have on the American people. In the middle of the segment, Raven-Symone interrupted Coulter and told her that her mother taught her that if she doesnt have anything nice to say, she shouldnt say anything at all. Ann went on to tell Symone that she is talking about policy, not people. She then called Symone out for making fun of people with names like Watermelondrea. The comment came after Symone claimed that she would not hired people with ghetto names. Of course, that statement went over like a ton of bricks. What do you think? Do you support Coulter for speaking her mind? Is it wise to be concerned about immigration? 
1	After months of eager anticipation within the nation's ghetto communities, the Central Intelligence Agency unveiled its 1998 line of addictive drugs Monday. 1. Blue Glass Type: Euphoric Method: Smoked Effects: Feelings of extreme optimism and happiness; greatly enhanced reflexes; sensory and sexual pleasure; visual acuity. Immediately followed by semi-permanent suicidal catatonia. Duration: Five minutes Cost: $1 per hit 2. Brainscratch Type: Hallucinogen Method: Dropped into eye Effects: Reaches visual cortex in seconds, producing terrifying hallucinations. Test subjects report loss of identity and feelings of total dislocation from human world. Duration: Ten hours to several years Cost: $2 per dose 3. Zom-B Type: Narcotic Method: Injected Effects: Stuporous mental coma, yet user's motor functions are involuntarily stimulated. Possible side effects may include walking off bridges or into oncoming trains. Duration: Fifteen to twenty hours Cost: $3 per fix 4. Spike Type: Stimulant Method: Ingested as pill Effects: Rush of physical strength, invulnerability to pain, and sociopathic impulses. Originally developed by Pentagon as combat drug. Duration: Two hours Cost: $5 for 15 pills 'The wait is over,' CIA Director John Deutch said at the festive drug launch, simulcast on giant-screen TVs throughout Watts, Cabrini Green, Newark, and other urban areas. 'Inner-city Americans now have four exciting new ways to narcotize themselves, with the quality of product and wide distribution they've come to expect from the CIA.' Reaction to the new drugs (see sidebar) was overwhelmingly positive. 'They had a tough act to follow after crack,' said New York-area Mafia boss Alfonse DiBiasi, Deutch's close friend and former college roommate. 'But this new stuff is just as cheap and every bit as addictive. We're all very excited.' President Clinton praised the CIA as well. 'This is a win-win situation for all Americans,' he said. 'Inner-city Americans will receive the powerful drugs they love, and the CIA will raise the funds they can't get from Congress to get their Jonestown mind-control experiment up and running again.' A Detroit man injects an advance sample of Zom-B. CIA officials expect the new drug to be even more popular than crack. The new drugs are supported by months of CIA testing to ensure maximum potency and addictiveness. Focus groups, consisting primarily of homeless men and street orphans culled from ghettos around the country, were housed in an underground research facility beneath CIA headquarters in Langley, VA. Only after six months of exhaustive experimentation on members of this target demograph, who sampled hundreds of drugs, were the final decisions made. 'Everybody loves me because I am so beautiful. Anything is possible. I am going to live a very long and happy life,' said Oakland, CA, native Charles Simmons, who spent 10 weeks testing Blue Glass, the CIA's new smokable euphoric drug. Simmons then leapt out a window to his death. 'I they I drugs these are very feel good right,' said Dwayne Woodson of Bronx, NY, another CIA test participant. 'Pork chops three for $2.99.' CIA officials said that testing is necessary in order to avoid releasing potentially dangerous substances into the ghettos. 'One initially promising drug was later discontinued due to undesirable side effects, such as increased intelligence and feelings of love for others,' said Dr. Harold Vandermeer, head of the CIA's narcotics development team. Initial product rollout began this week in the ghetto neighborhoods of Los Angeles, Detroit and New Orleans, with all residents receiving a special drug-sampler pack in the mail, including a full-color, English-Spanish promotional pamphlet and instructional videotape. If the market response is as favorable as the CIA expects, the drugs should be available in every ghetto in the nation as soon as August 1. 'I thought I'd never say this,' Deutch said, 'but put down that crack pipe, ghetto-dwellers: You're going to love these new drugs.' Deutch went on to state that none of the above events 'ever happened' and categorically denied any CIA connection with the new drugs. 
2	Youll Never Believe Which Fox News Anchor Was Revealed As Gay By Boyfriend According to a recent report by Gawker, 49-year-old Fox News anchor Shepard Smith has been spotted all around New York City with a younger man, rumored to be 26-year-old Fox Business producer Giovanni Gio Graziano. According to the report, Smith had Graziano transferred from his own unit in 2012 to avoid a conflict of interest. The rumor started in a restaurant, when Smith allegedly verbally attacked waitress Katya Minskova. He got up from his table, grabbed my elbow, and started yelling Where the f**k is my drink! Where is my f*****g drink! Get my f*****g drink! Minskova later told reporters, He started smacking his hands, like the back of his right hand into the palm of his left. He was spitting. His veins were popping out. When Minskova was shown a photo of Graziano, she confirmed that he appeared to be Sherpards boyfriend. Now, it appears that evidence continues to arise to support rumors of the relationship, which could prove controversial for Smith. What do you think? Are the rumors true? 
2	Robber Holds Store Owner At Gunpoint, But Wasnt Expecting The Owner To Be Armed An armed robber entered the store of Adil al Khafaji, in Cranston, Rhode Island earlier this week. When the robber pulled out his gun, Al Khafaji refused to surrender. Then, he start swearing me, swearing my mother. I say, I will show you. Then, I chase him out with my baseball bat and he took off. Im deciding no take it no more, he said. This is my store. I have to protect my property. I just want nobody to come here to try to rob me because Im ready for everybody, he said. Is Al Khafaji brave for defending his property? Should be buy a gun? 
1	A study published Monday by a group of linguists, historians, and semioticians has proved the concept of 'the good old days' can be traced back to the weekend of June 19, 1948. 'After extensive interviews, analysis of personal correspondence, and repeated viewings of that week's Ed Sullivan Show, we have pinpointed the precise time period this phrase signifies,' said researcher Patrick Washington, explaining that during the 48-hour period, no hard work went unrewarded and normal folks could count on hope for the future. 'During this brief window, a man was a man, a woman was a woman, and people had the decency to stop you on the street and say hello. At least until Sunday at 11:53 p.m.' The study also confirmed that throughout these two 'good old days' singer Peggy Lee was on the radio and the weather was just perfect. 
2	When This Thug Attempted To Rob An Armed Citizen, One Of Them Went Home In A Body Bag In Charlotte, North Carolina, police are investigating an attempted robbery that ended in the death of the attempted criminal. The victim claims he was in his yard when he was approached by two armed men. The men apparently forced him inside his home, and hit him with his firearms. Then they proceeded to demand money from him. The attackers were 22-year-old Darlanski Sherrill and 34-year-old Don Morrison. Sherill was shot by the victim, who was able to grab his own gun. Meanwhile, Morrison sped off in a vehicle. He was later apprehended by police, and charged with armed robbery. The murder of Sherrill was ruled to be in self-defense. What do you think? What would have happened if the victim did not have his gun? 
3	UN Drug Chief Warns US-Run Afghanistan is a Narco-StatePhillip Smith In an interview with Reuters, Fedotov noted that the Western forces generate about a third of all jobs and investment in Afghanistan. They are due to leave the country by the end of next year, and even the presence of a residual force of up to 10,000 fighters is increasingly in doubt as the US and Afghan haggle over a status of forces agreement that would allow them to stay. The other major economic activity in the country is opium production, processing, and distribution, including the manufacture of heroin from raw opium, which accounts for roughly another third of the national economy. Since the US invaded Afghanistan in October 2001, it has consistently been the worlds leading source of illicit opium production, accounting for nearly 90% of all poppies produced worldwide. Multi-hundred million dollar annual cash flows associated with the opium economy have benefitted both the Taliban insurgency, which taxes farmers in areas it controls as well as engaging in or protecting drug trafficking. They have also benefitted corrupt Afghan government officials and associated warlords. Fedotov, whose native Russia has been flooded with Afghan heroin, said Wednesday that an upcoming UNODC survey due later this month will show increases in both opium cultivation and production. That is also fertile ground for corruption and other forms of transnational organized crime. It is a multi-faceted challenge and we need to take that as a serious problem, Fedotov warned. Otherwise we have a serious risk that without international support, without more meaningful assistance, this country may continue to evolve into a full-fledged narco-state, he said. We have not been able to develop an alternative economy in Afghanistan, Fedotov said. With all our efforts, it was very hard to move from illicit to licit. Oh, and those Afghan farmers? When theyre not producing opium, theyre producing cannabis. Afghanistan is also one of the worlds preeminent cannabis producers, according to the UNODC, and production was up again last year, the group reported last month.

1	The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Tuesday that, due to disappointing ad sales for the costly televised event, all winners at the 81st annual Oscars will receive semi-personalized Emmy statuettes. 'We hope you'll still join us for the star-studded night, when we'll honor the brightest talents of the silver screen with a few refurbished Guest Actress in a Drama Series awards Sally Fields didn't collect,' said Academy president Sid Ganis, who promised to save the least dented statuette for Best Picture. 'Will Kate Winslet's spellbinding performance in The Reader win her television's most coveted prize? You have to tune in to find out.' Ganis said he believes this and other cost-cutting measures must be taken promptly in order to prevent the Academy from defaulting on past Lifetime Achievement awards. 
1	Baseball experts agreed Sunday that Derek Jeter, who fielded a routine ground ball during a regular-season game in which the Yankees were leading by five runs and then threw it to first base using one of his signature leaps, did not have to do that to record the out. 'If it had been a hard-hit grounder in the hole or even a slow dribbler he had to charge, that would've been one thing,' analyst John Kruk said during a broadcast of Baseball Tonight. 'But when it's hit right to him by [Devil Rays first-baseman] Greg Norton, a guy who has no stolen bases and is still suffering the effects of a hamstring injury sustained earlier this year Well, that's a different story.' Jeter threw out Norton by 15 feet and pumped his fist in celebration at the end of the play. 
2	Obama Completely Stabbed George W. Bush In The Back In THIS Horrible Way President Barack Obama has made it clear that he has his mind set on reaching an agreement with Iran about their nuclear program. And if we know anything about Obama, its that hell do anything to fuel his own agenda. To hinder Obama from continuing secret negotiations, 47 Republican Senators made the controversial decision to send an open letter to the Iranian regime. In the letter, they claimed that any deal made with the current President that isnt approved by Senate will be null and void when he leaves office in 2016. Democrats are quick to call the group who sent the letter traitors, forgetting that they took a very similar route when they met with Iran to sabotage George W. Bushs efforts regarding the Iranian regime. In fact, President Obama himself sent Ambassador William Miller to inform them that things would be different once Bush was out of office in 2008. As if that wasnt enough, the Obama administration is now coming forward to admit that their deal will not be legally binding, essentially reflecting the same sentiment expressed in the letter. What do you think? Do you support the actions of the Republican Senators?

1	Confronted on a regular basis with images of women who represent a diverse array of body types, a growing number of American men are reportedly feeling pressured to accept the increasingly realistic standards of female beauty now depicted in the media, social scientists confirmed this week. More and more, men today find themselves bombarded with un-retouched images, and with that comes the considerable mental burden of trying to reconcile what they see in these ads and magazines with their personal perceptions of beauty, said sociologist Cliff Hillard, who studies attainable ideals of female attractiveness in the media and how they can create an overly realistic sense of what women ought to look like. For most men, its very discouraging. Instead of seeing only rail-thin models, theyre now exposed to accurate representations of women whose proportions mimic those of actual human females. Think about the average man flipping through a magazine that features pictures of women who havent had their cheekbones raised or their noses reshaped with Photoshop, Hillard continued. How is he supposed to feel when he sees something like that? Every day, according to Hillard, men are faced with inescapable displays of average-sized women, women who are representatively diverse in terms of race and ethnicity, and women who are not professional models. According to one recent study, the average man sees photographs of women without digitally exaggerated bust-to-waist ratios dozens of times per day on TV, billboards, and the sides of buses, which the findings suggest has a demoralizing effect on the male psyche and has been shown to negatively influence mens self-esteem and mood the more often they view such images. Hillard noted that major companies like Dove, H&M, and Ralph Lauren now use nontraditional models in their advertising campaigns, an increasingly popular trend that, according to the sociologists research, ultimately serves to make men feel upset and frustrated when the women in commercials dont live up to their own personal fantasies. Nowadays I cant even leave the house without seeing an ad featuring properly proportioned women of statistically normal weights, said San Diegobased civil engineer Spencer DeLane, adding that some of the models bodies are startlingly average. Sometimes I dont even want to go online or turn on the television because I know Ill see a regular, healthy-looking woman. Dont these advertisers understand how deeply depressing that is for me? Its not fair to me, and its not fair to other men like me, he continued. Having to live with societys expectations that I accept women just the way they are takes an enormous toll. In a recent USA Today poll, 87 percent of men said that in the past month theyd seen an ad that made them feel inadequate by challenging their conceptions of physical beauty. Within that group, 74 percent said theyd seen a model posing without makeup and 83 said theyd seen visible blemishes, with a further 62 percent reporting that theyd seen a model with slight wrinkles around her eyes that could very easily have been digitally or surgically removed. Armed with mounting evidence that men can feel crushed under the heavy mental strain to appreciate all types of women, Hillard questioned the costs of depicting them in a sensible way that reflects their natural physical variance. Here youve got a generation of boys who will grow up looking at women in the media and seeing flaws here, flaws there, flaws everywherewhat are they supposed to think? said Hillard, who noted that his 12-year-old son is just now beginning to objectify women and that such portrayals could grossly alter what he perceives as an idealized female form for the rest of his life. Thats why its more important than ever to empower men so they can teach themselves to ignore these ads and images. We men simply need to have conviction in our own ideas of what makes a woman beautiful, he added. 
3	Presidential Candidates, The Fed, And Status QuoBy Susan Boskey A September 2016 Truthout article by Dean Baker, Hillary Clinton and the Church of the Sacred Fed, only confirms the ongoing reluctance to tackle the larger issue of a broken monetary system. Mr. Baker shares the disparate views of the candidates to launch his description of the Feds inner workings via funny religious metaphors such as Robert Rubins doctrine of the sacred Fed and the anointed referring to members of the Federal Reserve Board. Hillary Clinton is said to have denounced Donald Trump for his comments calling on the Federal Reserve Board to raise interest rates. Apparently, however, this was not her real reason for denouncing him. Her real reason was: You should not be commenting on Fed actions when you are either running for president or you are president. The article never ventures beyond the Feds shoreline to reveal the skewed mathematical mechanics that drive a global monetary system, and the erosive damage to economic stability left in its wake. You see, anyone who makes the effort to learn about how central banks work (The Fed for the U.S.) discovers that, today, only the deep state of powerful self-interest (typically those at the top of money pyramid and their governmental cronies) actually benefitand not by accident; whereas everyday people lose ground little by little over time. In my view, this exchange between presidential candidates of differing perspective on the Fed exists safely within the shores of the status quo since there is no money in truth. Will the root cause of the lack of economic growth, increasing poverty and homelessness, incomes not keeping up with the cost of living, mounting personal debt and the stress that is literally killing people, ever be revealed and understood so genuine solutions might be put forth? I wonder. Susan Boskey is author of the book, The Quality Life Plan: 7 Steps to Uncommon Financial Security.

1	Gordon Krumrie, a 43-year-old executive with Great Lakes Mutual, admitted Tuesday that he faked his own life to collect a substantial insurance payoff. The fraudulent Gordon Krumrie. 'It was simple,' said Krumrie, who came clean after collecting more than $300,000 over a 25-year period. 'Just fool the right people, make my life look believable, and every month, Great Lakes would cut me a check for $5,000.' 'Plus bonuses,' he added. 'If they only knew.' Krumrie began laying the groundwork for his false identity at an early age. In high school, he fabricated an interest in community and local business affairs, getting elected student-council treasurer and president of his school's chapter of Future Business Leaders of America. 'It was dirty work, but I had to establish a credible cover story early,' Krumrie said. 'It's the first thing those insurance investigators check when they suspect a wrongful life has been committed.' Krumrie's deception continued at Western Michigan University, where he earned an economics degree, deceiving professors into thinking he had a genuine interest in a career in finance. All the while, he made the necessary behind-the-scenes connections. 'I spent four years playing along with those Sigma Chi bastards,' Krumrie said. 'But they left me no choice. Some of them had highly placed fathers in key firms.' Upon being hired by Great Lakes Mutual in 1982, Krumrie was careful to behave like a typical sycophantic company man, running for coffee, calling superiors by their initials, and learning important insurance lingo like 'great' and 'happy to do it for you, boss.' 'I had to make my life seem real while establishing a paper trail,' Krumrie said. 'That way, if the company became suspicious enough to investigate, they'd find hundreds of calls to the head office on my telephone records and my fingerprints all over countless claimant response forms. There's no way they could have proven that my existence was a hollow sham.' Outside the office, Krumrie was careful to cover his tracks, marrying a nice, conservative woman he met at a church mixer, buying a home in the suburbs, and devoting hours of his spare time to lawn care and maintenance. 'I knew I could never let up,' Krumrie said. 'The tiniest slip, like forgetting to golf with the fellas on Saturdays or letting my Optimist Club membership lapse, would look suspicious. You can't give the insurance company any reason to suspect that your life is a fraud.' Over time, however, Krumrie became worn down by his hoax of an existence. 'Just a few more years, and I would have been be ready to end it all and cash in on that huge 401K,' Krumrie said. 'If I hadn't buckled under the strain, I would've run off to some tropical island beach with Janice from Accounting, and no one would have ever found me.' 'All that insurance money,' continued Krumrie, shaking his head. 'But I just couldn't keep it up. I couldn't stand the lies. Faking your own life is harder than it looks.' 
1	In spite of her efforts to sit down with friend Alicia Wright and help her navigate recent romantic and professional problems, sources confirmed Wednesday that 27-year-old Jessica Dennett has absolutely no fucking idea whatsoever as to what shes talking about. I know it seems tough right now, but trust me, this is just a little bump in the road; things will be better before you know it, said Dennett, whose earnest but completely inept attempts to provide comfort and support only served to reveal how unqualified she was to address her friends complex situation. Believe me, Ive been here before myself and it sucks. But its painful experiences like these that make us stronger in the end.

2	Congress Comes Crashing Down After Obama Accidentally Puts $55 Billion Directly Into Terrorists Hands Obama recently made a deal with Iran to exchange prisoners, and he happened to give $55 billion that will be directly funding terrorist efforts. Secretary of State John Kerry confirmed this scary thought in a White House press meeting. CNBCs Andrew Ross Sorkin asked, Do you believe that any of that $55 billion ends up in the hands of terrorists? Kerry responded, saying that there is no doubt in their mind that some of the money will be given to terrorists. Yet, they still think the deal was a good one. Im not going to sit here and tell you that every component of that could be prevented, but I can tell you this, right now, we are not seeing the early delivery of funds going to that kind of endeavor at this point in time, Kerry said. Im sure at some point some of it will, but that has never made the difference of what is happening there. The White House thinks this is what is necessary to keep the possibility of nuclear war at bay. They dont understand that they have been played by Iran, and it is blatantly clear. Do you think Obama should be impeached for funding terrorists with money? 
1	Laid off Monday from his billing-manager position at Automatic Data Processing, Howard Pfaff reported that his exit interview with human-resources associate Lorraine Bochy 'went pretty well.' Recently laid-off Howard Pfaff discusses his experience working for Automatic Data Processing with a human-resources associate. 'After getting the pink slip, I wasn't exactly looking forward to doing my exit interview,' said Pfaff, 39, who had worked in ADP's billing-services department for 11 years before budget cuts eliminated his position. 'But it actually wasn't that bad. Lorraine asked me all sorts of questions about my overall job satisfaction during my years with ADP and if there was anything I'd do different if I were the boss. I was afraid maybe she was going to criticize me, but all in all, it was pretty cordial.' Continued Pfaff: 'Lorraine explained that exit interviews are an extremely valuable way for the company to determine what changes need to be made to improve the work environment for future employees. That made pretty good sense to me.' Also encouraging to the newly unemployed Pfaff was Bochy's 'great regret' that the company had to let him go. 'She said it had nothing to do with my job performance, which, according to my file, rated either 'fair' or 'good' for every quarter since I was hired,' said Pfaff, who had never met Bochy prior to the interview. 'So that made me feel a little better, I guess.' Bochy informed Pfaff that the typed list of questions she held was 'merely a launching point' and that the two could talk about whatever he wanted. 'I told Lorraine a few things but, to be honest, I didn't want to be too critical,' Pfaff said. 'Sure, there were a lot of things about working at ADP that I hadn't been too thrilled about, like the lack of inter-departmental communication and the frequent overtime, but I didn't really know if I should go into it. Especially since I'm still sort of hoping that maybe the budget cuts will be lifted and I'll get rehired.' According to Pfaff, the highlight of the exit interview was seeing his permanent employee file for the first time. 'That was kind of neat, to be able to see what's been in my secret file all these years,' Pfaff said. 'They had all this weird stuff in there, like a copy of my medical records. And a picture of me at a 1991 company picnic that must have been clipped out of the monthly newsletter. When I saw that, I was like, 'Huh.'' Pfaff said he was even more interested in what wasn't in the file. 'I was afraid there was going to be some kind of mention of that one week last year when I got in late four days in a row because my car was at the mechanic,' he said. 'I remember that, at the time, I was really worried I'd get in trouble for that, but I couldn't find a single mention of it.' Pfaff said the file was not necessarily an accurate representation of his job performance, asserting that the best things he had done during his years with Automatic Data Processing were not included. 'There was a hand-written complaint in there saying that I'd been disturbing coworkers by playing my radio in my cubicle. That came as a total surprise to me, because no one ever once asked me to turn it down,' Pfaff said. 'As for my steady productivity over the years, there really wasn't any mention. I'd always assumed they kept track of how many accounts each one of us billing managers handled each month. I guess they don't.' In the final minutes of the interview, Bochy informed Pfaff that he could count on a good reference from the company, a subject Pfaff had been nervously anticipating. 'Lorraine said, 'I don't see any reason why you would receive a negative reference from anyone here at Automatic Data Processing. Unless, of course, there's something I don't know,'' Pfaff said. 'I'm pretty sure that second part was meant to be a joke.' As Pfaff exited the ADP human-resources office, a smiling Bochy shook his hand and said, 'Good luck, Howard.' 'I guess there was nothing to be nervous about,' Pfaff said. 'Lorraine was really nice. She even said she hopes that someday in the future, we can work together again.'

Roberts said Monday that his organization was forced to pare down the list of endangered species so that it would fit on a three-by-two-foot poster to be distributed to schools and private donors. 'If you want a poster that's going to grab an audience, you show the gray wolf instead of the Iowa Pleistocene snail,' said Roberts, adding that no endangered mollusks made the final cut, and that, among insects, only butterflies would be included. 'The poster is a visual medium. A large tear-jerking image of a giant panda might be redundant, considering that we have a panda in our logo, but it's not like anyone is going to be inspired to protect wildlife by a photo of a nearly extinct medicinal leech. You go with what is going to bring in the dollars.' According to Roberts, species that 'realistically have absolutely no chance of surviving' were omitted so that the poster would not seem out of date in a couple of years. 
1	Cheering and exchanging high fives in the teeming pedestrian intersection, an estimated one million enthusiastic soccer fans reportedly crowded into a confetti-strewn Times Square Monday to celebrate as the United States unveiled its preliminary roster for this summers World Cup tournament. Woo! Team USA, lets do this! said local man Brett Fahey, whose voice reportedly could barely be heard above the clamor of his fellow die-hard supporters of the U.S. mens national soccer team as they filled the bustling outdoor tourist hub well past capacity. Man, I sure hope Omar Gonzalez makes the final cut, dont you? He and [Michael] Parkhurst are two of the best defenders in the MLS, no question! At press time, an outburst of pent-up anger over Team USAs heartbreaking 3-2 loss to Brazil in the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup had caused the celebration to turn violent, forcing the New York Police Department to deploy nearly 1,000 fully armed SWAT officers in a futile attempt to quell the swarm of zealous, soccer-loving fans. 
1	BUFFALO, NYTyrone J. Carter, rap artist Jay-Z's 75-year-old grandfather, was arrested Monday for transporting prescription drugs across the Canadian border in the trunk of his 1998 Oldsmobile. 'My grandson says I shouldn't have unlocked the trunk unless the cops had a warrant, but what's a man supposed to do?' said Carter, who was busted with more than $1,000 worth of pharmaceutical-grade Diovan, Lipitor, and Lanoxin. 'Don't the police have anything better to do than hassle a sick old man? My insurance doesn't cover my pills anymoreI gotta get my heart medicine somewhere.' The arresting officers said the pills had a U.S.-pharmacy value of nearly $18,000. 
3	US Navy Fires Warning Shots After Harassed by Iran Patrol BoatBy Kurt Nimmo The Pentagon claims an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps patrol boat came within 200 yards of a US vessel and when it failed to leave the area after the Navy had fired flares and had a radio conversation with the Iranian crew, the US officials said, the USS Squall fired three warning shots. Following standard maritime procedures, the Navy fired the three shots into the water to ensure the Iranians understood they needed to leave the immediate area, reports CNN. USNI News, a US Naval Institute website, posted a video of a related incident near the vicinity of the Strait of Hormuz. The Nitze and U.S. Naval Forces Central Command (NAVCENT) assessed the interaction as unsafe and unprofessional due to the Iranian vessels not abiding by international law and maritime standards including the 1972 Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) maritime Rules of the Road, a defense official told USNI News. The Iranian high rate of closure on a Unites (sic) States ship operating in accordance with international law while transiting in international waters along with the disregard of multiple warning attempts created a dangerous, harassing situation that could have led to further escalation including additional defensive measures by Nitze. The Iranians claim the US had entered its territorial waters. The Tasnim news agency quoted Gen. Hosein Dehghan as saying that if any foreign vessel enters our waters, we warn them, and if its an invasion, we confront. Late last year the Revolutionary Guard fired warning shots near the Harry S. Truman carrier strike group from about 1,000 meters away. In January, two US riverine command boats were intercepted by Revolutionary Guards after they entered Iranian territorial waters near Irans Farsi Island. The US said the boats had strayed into Iranian waters during a transit from Kuwait to the home port for Task Force 56 under the Fifth Fleet in Bahrain. The US crews were arrested and taken to Iran. The Iranians said the American ships were snooping around in Iranian waters, according to report filed by RT on January 12. The US initially said the boats had experienced mechanical problems but this story subsequently changed. Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept reported: What we know for certain is that the storyline of mechanical failure and poor U.S. boat in distress that was originally propagated on which [Eli Lake of Bloomberg News] exclusively relied to blame the Iranians was complete fiction. At least according to the governments latest version, the boats were working just fine. But, as always, the bulk of the U.S. media narrative was built around totally unverified, self-serving claims from the U.S. government, which, yet again, turned out to be completely false. Considering the about-face in January and countless other instances of lies perpetuated by the United States, how can we be sure this latest incident is not an additional dose of propaganda falling on the heels of the lie that Obama paid ransom to Iran for the release of prisoners, a ransom that was in fact money the US stole from the Iranians under the false pretext that country is building a nuclear weapon? 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. So, if I get dressed in tactical gear, and start pacing back and forth in a menacing way on my neighbors lawn, and he says something about it, I can say he is the aggressor? shows what a sad world this can be.. American warship travels halfway around the worldto be offended. lol Bingo. One function of a continuous, much larger plan. William Thompson wrote books that revealed the history that the USGov has covered up. WTF was the US doing in the PERSIAN Gulf? Whose territorial waters are they deciding belong to them now? Anywhere the US Navy deems they have a right to? Same sleazy trick they pulled on the Philippines and Mexico. Unscrupulous swine.

2	Hillary Clinton Gets Away With MURDER... But Theres One Last Thing Yesterday, the FBI recommended that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton not face criminal charges, despite the fact that she and aides were extremely careless in handling classified information. FBI Director James Comey took to the stage with a strong criticism of Clinton and her cronies for the way they mishandled classified, top-secret information. But he also maintained that there is no evidence that Clinton intended to do so. Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case, Comey concluded. He also said his agency acted apolitically and instead only followed the facts. Technically, the FBI makes recommendations to the Justice Department prosecutors, but Attorney General Loretta Lynch has argued that she would accept the bureaus views in this case. We cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts, Comey argued. Trump was not shy about his disappointment in the ruling, arguing that it was very. very unfair and as usual, bad judgment. He also claimed that General Patraeus got in trouble for far less. Crooked Hillary compromised our national security, Trump later tweeted. No charges. Wow. Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon also spoke with reporters about the decision. As the Secretary has long said, it was a mistake to use her personal email and she would not do it again, Fallon commented. We are glad that this matter is now resolved. Even though Clinton is getting off the hook, the fact remains that Clinton is clearly ill equipped to handle responsibility. Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information, Comey argued. What do you think of this decision? Is this absolutely outrageous?

'But when so-called 'contributors' began loading it down with profanity, pornography, ASCII art, and mandatory-assault-rifle-ownership amendments, we thought it might be best to cancel the project.' Congress intends to restore the Constitution to its pre-Wiki format as soon as an unadulterated copy of the document can be found.

1	Releasing a full report of his investigation into the Penn State scandal at a press conference Thursday morning, former FBI director Louis J. Freeh disclosed that the late Joe Paterno was indeed burning in hell at this very moment for his part in covering up the sexual abuse of young boys. 'My examination of the available documents found that Jerry Sandusky's activities were almost certainly known to Coach Paterno, who failed to act appropriately in reporting or following up on certain incidents and who is indeed shrieking in indescribable anguish as the searing flames of hell devour his flesh for all eternity,' Freeh told reporters, adding that Paterno's firing by the university was also warranted. 'Every moment since his death has been one of pure suffering and excruciating, flesh-melting torment, based on the interdepartmental communications given to us for review.' Freeh refused to confirm whether Penn State fans and alumni who supported Paterno during the scandal would also eventually burn in hell, saying they had 'the remainder of their lives' to reflect and repent and 'may still escape eternal and painful damnation.' 
3	GOP Candidate Says Traitor Terrorist Snowden Should Be Removed from TwitterBy John Vibes Within a day of opening his first social media account since leaking information about the NSA spy program, Snowden gained over one million subscribers. However, there was only one account that he decided to follow the NSA. The whistleblowers first tweet read, Can you hear me now? Snowdens decision to follow the NSA speaks to the witty sense of humor he has only been able to show off at rare times during his exile. However, now he will be connected with the general public on a day-to-day basis, and along with bringing attention to his struggle, Snowden will finally be able to share his personality with the millions of people who respect him. The description for Snowdens new profile, @Snowden, reads: I used to work for the government. Now I work for the public. Snowdens new, direct engagement with the public has reenergized both his supporters and his critics. Some politicians have even called for Twitter to ban his account. Former New York Governor and current presidential candidate George E. Pataki tweeted to Twitter cofounder and CEO Jack Dorsey, imploring him to shut down Snowdens account while implying he was a traitor and a terrorist. The presidential candidate, whojoined Twitter onOctober, 19 2014, only has 54,000 followers as of this writing, on the popular social media site. George E. Pataki (@GovernorPataki) September 29, 2015 Snowden is currently living in asylum in Russia and is wanted in the United States for charges under the federal Espionage Act, but Russia has declined to extradite him.

3	Building a $500 Cabin Without a Permit: Simple Offers FreedomBy Mac Slavo Whether you are taking shelter from the elements and the harsh realities of nature, or from the stresses, panic and emergency crises of the city. Building a cabin is a classic, timeworn and reliable way to build a shelter that can be made simply by a few people, or if necessary, by a single person alone. It is enough to survive, but no guarantee of an easy life. But it provides a path to a simpler life away from the busy conundrum of idle and mostly meaningless existence inside the system. As the man in the below video notes, Simple offers freedom. Indeed, the cabin life may be about as free as it gets. He built the cabin at 1010 deliberately, and cheaply for $500 allowing him to build without a permit, and enjoy the freedom of living off of his own land. Practically everywhere in the country suburban communities and rural lands alike places restrictions on building that requires approval and permission. But most codes make an exception for temporary structures and those under a certain size and thats where youll have the most room to work on the project on your terms and outside of most restrictions. For bigger projects, and the right to build without a permit if you are willing to stand up for it, see what patriot Tom Hyland did to live free. Like other things in life, there is no one way to do it, but its a time honored tradition that offers its own advantages for survival, independence from debt and life of self-reliance and preparedness. Heres a look at the old fashioned way, from an archived old timer: Whether it is your getaway retreat from emergency, or the start of a new and simple lifestyle, the cabin can be an asset that will never be out of reach in price, is easy to construct, and can be counted on for many years of dependability even if the construction isnt perfect. Read more: You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com. Problem is most counties require hookups to utilities if they find out you are living in a structure so dont advertise it. You can also build a larger structure [say 12X16] without a permit if it is on skids as it would be considered temporary portable. You can build this shed without a permit if you own the land and dont live in it. LIving in it would be illegal. It is easier to build a 1012 (usual size limit) cabin on a property that has existing utilities and use it as living space than it is to build a stand alone cabin on property with no utilities and be successful at avoiding the inspectors. It is a shame. I have built several cabins on property with a house for extra space. A couple I built tall enough, 12, for living area with loft above. How free is it when you live illegally in a structure without a toilet or running water and have to fear being caught? Paranoia is not a sign of freedom. I received an actual order, served on me by the Sheriff, from the County Health Officer stating the law requires you to apply for a septic permit and pay the required fees or criminal action may be brought against you. Im in Washington and did my homework before building off grid. The law (state codes) requires a permit to put in a septic system. It does not require a septic system to be installed. This is just one example of how they lie. Anyways, I wrote back that ordering me to contract with them and pay them money under the threat of harm is called extortion and any further contact and harassment would result in me filing criminal charges. Havent heard a peep out of them for a year. The crux of this story is that it was about power not public health. I live next to a wetland which makes a septic system a very stupid way to pollute it compared to the dry composting system and gray water line directly on the garden. Yes, I also built a small off grid cabin without permits. Received an order on that too from the building department. Our county has an owner-builder exemption if you have enough land to meet the set backs (I have plenty) so I wrote that I could not contract with them as their inspectors clearly proved their engineering incompetence by not being able to see my cabin was way inside the 100 foot setbacks. If they cant tell this kind of distance I cant trust them to know how to build anything correctly. Havent heard a peep out of them in 2 years. Take nothing for granted. You will find troubling things in their ruleslike the health department rule that if a septic system you have approved by them later fails and they dont think it can be fixed they can condemn your home. Well informed is well prepared. Most districts are far more restrictive than Stevens county , WA Do your homework people. The illegal issue is what is the problem here 
1	Actor Ben Affleck, best known for his role in the 2003 film Daredevil, told reporters Monday he would really like to see action hero Jason Bourne, played by longtime friend Matt Damon, acquire a sidekick in his next film. Affleck outside the William Morris Agency in Beverly Hills on Monday. 'I was thinking that the character, who would probably be Bourne's childhood friend, could really breathe some new life into the series,' said Affleck, adding that the Jason Bourne character ran the risk of boring American audiences if the superspy wasn't allowed to show a more human side in his films. 'I envision the sidekick as being taller, slightly beefier, and having darker hair than Bourne. He may not be the smartest, but he could provide comic relief and would always look out for his best friend.' 'I know a few people who would play the part,' the Jersey Girl and Gigli star continued. 'Hell, even I would put some projects aside to do it if that's what the producers wanted.' According to Affleck, the fourth film in the Bourne franchise, which has traditionally taken place in European locales but was most recently set in New York City, needs a refreshing location that would surprise filmgoers, such as gritty South Boston. Just moments after the opening credits, the amnesiac CIA assassin would learn that he grew up there, had an abusive childhood, dropped out of high school, and once worked as a janitor at a local college. Affleck said he ultimately imagined the film as being less a traditional spy thriller and more about friendship and the importance of realizing one's true potential. 'The sidekick represents the kind of life Bourne would have lived had he never gone off and become a hotshot CIA agent with a big-time career,' said Affleck, who described the new character as having suffered a string of bad luck and made a number of poor life choices. 'Basically, his character would kill to have Bourne's natural fighting and spying ability, but it's his role in the movie to show Bourne that even though he is a very gifted and talented individual, he should never leave his old friends behind.' Though Affleck, who offered to write the script for free, anticipates more lengthy scenes of dialogue than is typical for a Bourne film, he promised the movie would not be without its signature fight sequences. Affleck said he had already storyboarded one scene, set at a Boston Red Sox game, in which Bourne, the sidekick, and another high school friend, played by director Kevin Smith, get into a fast-paced drunken argument over the film Star Wars and each of their respective mothers. 'How do you like them apples?' said Affleck, referring to what the sidekick could theoretically say after Bourne breaks the necks of several security guards at Fenway Park. Affleck, who won a Teen Choice Award for his work in 2001's Pearl Harbor, said he plans to pitch the idea to Damon the next time the two see each other, hopefully at an Emmy Awards after-party next month. If Affleck loses his invitation for the event Damon is attending, as he reportedly did last year, he and Damon will discuss the project during one of the rare weekends in which Damon is not working on a film and both actors happen to be at home in their native Massachusetts at the same time. 'I really think he'll go for this,' Affleck said. 'I know Matt Damon better than anyone in the world, and I just know he's going to love this. I know it. He just has to.' While admitting that a fourth Bourne film has not been discussed, executive producer Doug Liman agreed that a sidekick character might be worth exploring. Liman wrote in an e-mail Friday that he already had a short list of possible candidates for the role, including Vince Vaughn, John C. Reilly, Luke Wilson, Tim Robbins, Minnie Driver, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Casey Affleck, Don Cheadle, and Adam Sandler.

2	Huckabee CRUSHES Fed Up Libs, Shuts Them Down So Hard They Dont Even Know How To Respond Now that Donald Trump has officially taken the presidency, millions of Americans have started to wonder what this dramatic shift will mean for the country. Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee made an attempt at answering this question yesterday morning, and his answer quickly went viral. Huckabee began by criticizing the media for their slanted coverage of the election, which left many Americans believing Trump didnt stand a chance. These are the people, he argued, who are demanding to know what this means. Well, Ill tell you what it doesnt mean, Huckabee wrote. It doesnt mean that most Americans are racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic deplorables, as Hillary suggested, he began. It also doesnt mean that they endorse every character flaw that Trump allegedly displays. What it does mean is that a lot of Americans are fed up with failed Obama policies, both foreign and domestic; with an overreaching federal government trying to run every aspect of their lives; with representatives who seem to represent big money donors and shadowy billionaires like George Soros more than the people who elected them; with wealthy celebrities looking down on them and calling them bigots and haters just for having religious beliefs, morals, patriotism, pride in their traditions and a belief that laws should be respected; and with an unequal system of justice that gives the well-connected a pass for infractions that send regular citizens to prison, he argued. Read his full response below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Huckabee? 
2	BREAKING: Queen Rania Takes THIS Massive Stand Against The Obama Just days after a Muslim extremist invaded a Chattanooga military base and opened fire, killing four marines and one Navy man, Obama was live offering Muslims his support on Ramadan. Now, even after ISIS took responsibility for the attack, Obama remains silent. Surprisingly, those showing the most support for our fallen heroes are coming from outside of this country. King Abdullah II and Queen Rania of Jordan have arrested the uncle of the Chattanooga shooter, Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez. Assad Ibrahim Haj Ali had once employed his nephew at a small telecommunications company he manages in Jordan. The royal family ordered his arrest and for his computer to be confiscated. The action was taken to ensure that he is not planning a local attack. The lawyer for the Abdulazeez family has acknowledge that the interrogation was standard procedure, but added that Alis detention was unnecessary. Still, the actions of the royal family teach an important and classic lesson: its better to be safe than sorry. What do you think of the King and Queens decision? Do you support them in their preemptive measures? 
2	Chelsea Clinton Caught Spending Extraordinary Amount Of Money On Vacation New photos of Chelsea Clinton have confirmed what many Americans fearhaving the Clintons back in the White House would give us four more years of the corruption were seeing with the Obamas. According to reports, Chelsea was recently photographed on a lavish vacation with her husband Marc Mezvinsky and her daughter Charlotte in Turks and Caicos. While on their trip, the family stayed at the Amanyara hotelone of the most expensive resorts in the world. So what kind of prices are we looking at? The cheapest villa category in the low season costs $1,500 a night, and the prices only escalate from there. A six-bedroom villa can run up to $34,000 a nightand thats on the off season. The resort has luxurious features like a personal chef, personal bar, private swimming pool and more. Its unclear how much the Clintons actually spent on the trip, but it doesnt bode well for how they will spend the dollars of American taxpayers. Clinton does everything she can to act like she is an average America, but she already has more than $53 million in assets. In fact, she has made $230 million dollars in the last 14 years alone, making her one of the richest candidates. What do you think? Do the Clintons need to be kept far away from the White House? 
2	Black Lives Matter Thugs Kill High Ranking Police Officer In Cold Blood... Wheres Al Sharpton Now? Not long ago, a Kansa City police officer was tragically gunned down. Capt. Robert Melton was only 46-year-old, and had been an officer for 17 years of his life. Officer Melton was responding to reports of several people in a car firing shots. A vehicle believed to be connected to the gunfire took off as officers arrived. After a brief pursuit, it crashed into a fence. Two suspects were taken into custody just minutes after the wreck. About that time, Melton arrived on the scene, searching for an additional drive-by shooting suspect. When he approach a person matching the description, he was shot several time through his passenger-side window and died later at a hospital. Jamaal R. Lewis is a 20-year-old Black Lives Matter protestor who simply decided he wanted the officer dead. He was already wanted on charges of aggravated assault for actions he took earlier in the day.

2	FOX News Makes HUGE Announcement About The Future Of The Network Over the past few weeks, the contractual dispute between Dish Network and Fox News has been making headlines. As expected, the networks decision to block Fox News instead of giving in to their requests has backfired. Not even one month after Fox was dropped, Dish has lost nearly 90,000 subscribers. In additional, nearly 350,000 subscribers have contacted Dish to protest their decision. It is unfortunate that the millions of Fox News viewers on Dish were used as pawns by their provider, claims Fox News Executive Vice President Tim Carry. Hopefully they will vote with their hard-earned money and seek another one of our valued distributors immediately. Well, it looks like Fox viewers are taking their advice. Despite rumors that Dish is negotiating, Carry claims that any word of the process moving forward is false. Their positioning that they are actively negotiating rings hollow, Carry said in a statement. What do you think of Dishs decision? Was it a huge mistake? 
1	Looking good is an essential component of Gregg Rafalski's success as a real-estate agent, the 35-year-old RE/MAX employee asserted Monday. Gregg Rafalski, who understands the importance of a good first impression. 'As a real-estate agent, my appearance is crucial,' Rafalski said. 'On any given day, I'm interacting with a large number of people: clients, property owners, business associates. It's of the utmost importance that I convey professionalism to my customers and colleagues at all times.' To this end, Rafalski said he always wears a freshly pressed shirt, a 'smart-looking' tie, well-polished shoes, and a minimal amount of carefully chosen jewelry, usually a watch and one ring. He also makes sure that his fingernails are clean and neatly trimmed. 'Buying a home is one of the most important decisions a person can makemany are sinking their entire life savings into it,' Rafalski said. 'That's why I need to project an air of confidence to my clients. Rumpled khaki pants and an untucked polo shirt are simply not going to cut it when you're looking to say, 'I am fully in control of this situation.'' Though he graduated from high school with only a C average, Rafalski 'aced' his subsequent 54-hour real-estate pre-licensing course at Michiana College in nearby South Bend. After completing the course, Rafalski passed the Indiana Real Estate Commission examination and gained his licensure in 1984. He has spent the past 17 years in commercial and residential real-estate, including the past six at RE/MAX. Rafalski said he learned the importance of looking good early in his career. 'I attended quite a few [Indiana Commercial Board of Realtors] conferences during those first few years on the job, and I was lucky enough to meet some tremendous salespeople to serve as my role models,' Rafalski said. 'Because of the way they looked and carried themselves, these guys could walk into a room and, within two seconds, all eyes would be squarely on them. They could sell a drink of water to a fish.' It was at these early conferences that Rafalski learned 'the true meaning of sales.' 'Many people mistakenly think the success of a salesman is determined by your knowledge of the product,' Rafalski said. 'Sure, you need to know how old this house is or what the property taxes are on that one, but that's what briefcases are for. It's not the house, it's you that you're really selling to a customer.' Added Rafalski: 'Speaking of briefcases, this one is imported Italian leather.' To look his best, Rafalski keeps abreast of current fashions. Two Fridays a month, he leaves work early and drives down to Glenbrook Square Mall in Fort Wayne, nearly 70 miles away. 'The Marshall Field's at University Park doesn't always carry the Hugo Boss shirts I like,' Rafalski said. 'So, every so often, I like to take a little trip down to Fort Wayne. I know that sounds crazy, but, believe me, when a potential home buyer is on the fence, the right shirt can turn an 'I'll pass' into an 'I'll take it.'' Unlike his less successful colleagues, Rafalski doesn't waste his office hours keeping track of property values or brushing up on zoning changes. Instead, he browses online for hard-to-find items from his favorite brand names, including Kenneth Cole, Calvin Klein, and Ralph Lauren. 'If you dress cheap, you are cheapit's that simple,' Rafalski said. 'Same thing goes for houses: Cheap houses, cheap commissions. That's just not my mindset.' In addition to his wardrobe, Rafalski's choice of transportation plays an important role in the impression he makes. He drives a red 2000 Chrysler Sebring convertible, which sends a strong message when he arrives for a house showing. 'What would a potential home buyer think if I pulled up in a dinky little Honda?' Rafalski asked. 'Would that instill confidence in my abilities as an agent? I don't think so.' Rafalski also puts care into the appearance of his office at RE/MAX, which he keeps meticulously clean and decorated with silver curios and framed art prints. 'When someone walks into my office and sees the Waterford vase and Nicoletti leather chair, they know I know what I'm doing,' Rafalski said. 'Why would you entrust your search for a home to an agent who doesn't even care what his own office looks like?' Rafalski's attention to detail has not gone unnoticed among clients. 'Gregg always looks so nice,' said Adrienne Bauer, whom Rafalski is helping find a larger location for her Wicks 'N' Wax store. 'I wish my husband would wear some of the newer tie styles, but he won't. He always says, 'I'm a pediatrician, not Regis Philbin.'' Rafalski's coworkers are equally impressed. 'The clients really seem to like Gregg,' said Granger RE/MAX senior real-estate broker Jonathan Quirk. 'He's not necessarily our best agent when it comes to knowing his way around the neighborhood, but he still gets a heck of a lot of referrals and repeat customers. I think it might be his hair or something. He's got real nice hair.'

3	7 Ways the Matrix Coerces Public Consent for TortureSigmund Fraud The protest against this outrage is growing, however, because at Homan Square, as its known, the local police disappear American citizens before charging them with any crime. They hide them there for hours or days without the knowledge of lawyers, family, or friends, interrogating, threatening, abusing and at times coming up with cleverly inhumaneways to torture them. Think Gitmo, think Abu Ghraib. Think Pol Pot, think Mao.Pardonmy French here, but, cest quoi ce bordel? This sort of thing has always been in the play books of imperialists and barbarians, but in just over a short decade in the land of the free, torture has clawed its gory soul into mainstream ideology, and its making the death march tobecoming acceptable public policy for your local police goons. Who, by the way, are already up-armed to the teeth and better equipped than most of the worlds national armies. Utterly impossible to conceal or ignore the moral depreciation taking place here, its puzzling to consider why so many otherwise good Americans either actively or passively support so many emergent government sponsored atrocities like the illegal detention and torture of enemies, both foreign and domestic. Theanswer to this riddlesays a great deal about where were at as human beings, where were going as a society, and how bumpy and horrifyingthe ride is going to get along the way. Heres a look at how the matrix coerces us into tacit or explicit acceptance of things that only the most psychopathic of us could conjure up. 1. Human on Human Violence Conditioning The human mind learns by observation, and the average person witnesses tens of thousands of acts of theatric violence before they even reach adulthood. Nothings shocking once youve seen it all, and as the barrier to revulsion against human on human carnageis broken down by low grade television programs, mindlessly violent films, and absurd staged news programs, the mind is forced to seek normalcy in an insane environment. Socialengineeringis a pet project of the corporate and political elite, its how they sell consumerismand maintain a business as usual attitude when usurping rights and corrupting humanity.As products of a multi-generational experiment in massmind control, human on human violence has been presented to the masses asa God, and is equal parts fearful, righteous and entertaining, appearing in every form of consumable media. The torture of nameless aggressors by the military and police state is a drop in the bucket of what weve alreadywitnessed, and as such, its just not that big of a deal to most. 2. Fear the Fear Itself How many Hollywood bloodbaths, eyewitness police brutality videos, 9/11s, and terrorist executions can be consumed before the psyche caves in completely to combat exhaustion?This a psychological coup of sorts by the fear pimps, as publicconsciousness is always directed toward an unrelenting stream of well-produced anxiety-inducing propaganda. It is the continual over-stimulation of every possible worry violence programming merely being one part of it. This has triggered a mass psychosis, a sort of cultural PTSD, and we have the neuroses to prove it, constantly anxious, constantly concerned, and never content to live and let live. Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. Yoda Instilling great fear in their subjects has always been the most basic offensive play for tyrants, control freaks and cult leaders.When youre afraid of everything, the reptilian mindis given dominionover our more human qualities, and the world seems a far more dangerous than it may actually be. Anything becomes justifiable as self-defense, and anyone with a big enough stick to pose as a savior is revered as a savior. 3. The Applied Science of the Shock Doctrine The natural bias of the human being is to eventually perceive the abnormal as normal, when given sufficient exposure. Fear is like a steam engine, it must be continually stoked or it loses momentum. If it does, the shock of witnessing something terrifying can eventually be normalized out of the psyche by the natural proclivity we haveto heal ourselves. And so the nightmares themselves must evolve and intensify in order to keep carrying their weight and so they do. The application of fear-based propaganda is now ubiquitous in modern life and it always intensifies. Ruby Ridge becomes Waco. Bird flu becomes ebola. Al Qaeda becomes ISIS. Search warrants become no-knock raids. And routine police work becomes torturous. The point of mass-inflicted crisis consciousness is to alter how we perceive the world and how we react to stressors in life by creating the illusion that catastrophe lies around every corner. When agitated by the continuous consumption of violence, shock and fear programming, protection from anything and everything becomes top priority. From this level of consciousness our behavior is both predictable and manageable, and wereadily acceptthe solutions proffered by those who market themselves as our heroes. 4. Compliance Training and National Opinion Manufacturing Perhaps there is nothing more to blame than human nature, as human beingsare quiteadept at following rules, orders and obeying suggestions, especially when compliance training is a built-in part of education and work, and day-to-day life is preoccupiedwith avoidingprosecution for the violation of anever-expanding code of laws, regulations and ordinances. The federal tax code alone, for example, is some 74,000+ pages long. But lets be honest here, government authority comes explicitlyfrom its capacity and willingness to inflict violence. Watching how coldly they enforce their rules and suppresses dissent, the message iscrystal clear: obey. Complianceis a survival toolin a police state. Original thought is rare in an environment where obedience is expected, and most people just repeat ideas from the sources in front of them. Mainstream media, national opinion theatre, and social cliques set the tone for national opinion building, as talk celebrities, shock-jocks, and expert pundits chatter away 24/7, reinforcing the narratives of impending doom, the need for safety, and the vainglory of deference to the military industrial complex. Group-think is an epidemic, and compliance is contagious. Its easiest and most convenient to sail with the prevailing winds rather than to row against the current. Its a survival mechanism, triggered by shock and trauma conditioning. 5. Trickle Down Psychopathy Looking up at the eye of the pyramid, we see that psychopaths are in control, and with all eyes on them, their deeds become examples for us all. The message is that compassion no longer has a place in our calculating world, and that other human beings, even mother nature herself, are both acceptable targets and collateral damage in the quest for the satiation of fear. No wonder we accept atrocities like torture our most revered leaders have been showingthe way for decades now.When the insanity of violence, corruption and torture is coming from the highest positions in public leadership, it is little wonder that the rank and file citizenry has lost much of their humanity as well. Those people you meet who openly advocate torture are merely the top-products of the mold, and theyve accepted theirfree ticket to join the party and indulge the darkest parts of themselves.Psychopathy begets psychopathy. 6. The Sheeple Have Been Sent to Pasture Life in the matrix is afull-spectrum occupation of the mind, senses and soul.In this environment, dankwith cognitive dissonance, the life of the sheeple is blissfully ignorant and mindlessly obedient to the shepherd and the sheepdogs. It wouldnt be entirely fair to say that most Americans approve of torture, but that doesnt matter much, because it is fair to say that the majority of Americans are so heavily entranced in their own immediate affairs, and so heavily sedated, poisoned, intoxicated and entertained that they are powerless to confront the reality of state sponsored oppression. Out to pasture in the American dream, the sheeple are sidelined from any meaningful participation in public decision making. Were an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while youre studying that reality judiciously, as you will well act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and thats how things will sort out. Were historys actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do. Karl Rove Being part of the herdis like being at the movies. Its easy youre reality is created for you. You just stay put, stay quiet, stay focused on the actors appearing in front of you, enjoy your junk food, and try not to ruin the movie for others by making noise or breaking the rules. It doesnt matter if the movie is any good or not, you just need something to occupyyour time. Apathy has been bred into our genetic code. 7. The Collapse of Spiritual Intelligence Perhaps youve already become sensitive to this, or perhaps youre just now on beginning to wake up. The realization here is that if you remove all of the oppressive, negative fear-mongering and dark shock psychology of the mainstream, and elevate your own consciousness to a perspective well above all of this, then the possibilities for the progress and happiness of yourself and the entire human race appear to be infinite. We truly are infinite beings temporarily occupying human bodies violence and torture are simply incompatible with this revelation. Yet, there is a spiritual war being waged to prevent us from realizing thisnatural fact. The sum total effect of this effort against society is to disconnect us from our spiritualintelligence,soften our resistance to evil, and weaken our natural draw towards the beautiful and endearing aspects of being. They want us to believe, as Orwell said, that people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. That there is no other source of peace than violence. Conclusion As evidence of their moral superiority, the matrix programmers still depend on cultural myths like the Founding Fathers story, American liberty, and the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Hero narrativeslike the WWII triumph over evil, American Sniper, and big-budget disaster films create the illusionthat good people sometimes have to step up to the plate and dobad things for the rest of us. But these stories are losing their potency, because, lets face it, its tough to claim moral authority when youre torturing people. The recent news about Chicagos black-site detention center should be taken asa severe warning to us all that the powers that be are no longer too concerned with maintaining the impression of being morally superior. The American police state now has all the pieces in place to make itsGreat Leap Forward.Welcome to the express elevator to hell, comrades going down.

2	Obama Goes After Ben Carsons Friends And Family Dr. Benjamin Carson, the former director of pediatric neurosurgery at John Hopkins Hospital, claims that he has been harassed by the IRS following his public criticisms of Barack Obama. According to Carson, the retribution started shortly after a speech he gave at a National Prayer Breakfast in mid 2013. Ive been quite astonished at the level of hostility that I have encounter, Carson said in an interview with Newsmax, The IRS has investigated metheyve come after my family, theyve come after my friends, theyve come after associates. After the attacks continued, Carson started to link the events together, tracking back the IRS actions to his criticism of the president. Now, he is claiming it is time for Congress to step up and do their job to protect him. The reason we have divided government is if one branch of the government gets out of control, starts thinking theyre too big for their britches, you need to be able to have control, he said. Unfortunately, it appears Congress is doing very little to remedy the matter. According to Carson, the abuses of the government continue because Americans refuse to take action. We sit there and we say, Oh this is horrible. But we dont do anything. And see, thats what Im trying to get our congressional people, our lawmakers theyve got to get courage, he said. Because why would anybody who has an agenda to fundamentally change this nation, why would they stop if no one is opposing them? What do you think of Carsons comments? Should the government be punished for the harassment?

3	Cities continue to get tanks they dont need in nationwide police militarization trendMadison Ruppert Many law enforcement agencies acquire military equipment through the Pentagons 1033 program. Police have also acquired military robots through the DoD but they have other ways to get their hands on armored surveillance vehicles and armored personnel carriers as well. Indeed, the Department of Homeland Security gave the city of Keene, New Hampshire, with a population of less than 25,000, $285,933 to buy an armored counter-attack vehicle called a BearCat, according to Radley Balko. Keene has had a whopping three murders since 1999 according to City Data and according to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the city lied about the need for the tank-like vehicle built by Lenco Industries, Inc. The ACLU points out that a Keene City Councilmember actually admitted that the city lied about their need for the BearCat to DHS. Our application talked about the danger of domestic terrorism, but thats just something you put in the grant application to get the money, the councilmember said, according to the ACLU. What red-blooded American cop isnt going to be excited about getting a toy like this? Thats what it comes down to. Another example of this type of completely unnecessary equipment being acquired by a law enforcement agency can be seen in Richland County, South Carolina. Yet Richlands Sheriffs Department for some reason has an armored personnel carrier they call The Peacemaker. As was reported by Reason in 2008, the armored personnel carrier has a belt-fed .50-caliber turreted machine gun which even the US military is reluctant to use on humans. How exactly a weapon usually reserved for use against armored vehicles will save lives is anyones guess. These, like the examples in Georgia are far from isolated. Law enforcement agencies throughout the country have sweeping access to military equipment and to billions of dollars in federal grant money to purchase heavy weaponry designed for overseas combat missions, as well as access to anti-terrorism tactical training, the ACLU reports. The ACLU recently launched a new project on the militarization of policing in America in response to this growing trend. While some may claim this type of equipment is necessary to assure the safety of officers when facing massive shootouts or similar encounters, in reality, the use is much more mundane in most cases. And in Maryland, the transparency law has shown that police departments in the state are using SWAT tactics in precisely the ways critics have claimed: to break into homes to serve warrants on people suspected of low-level drug crimes, according to a March 6 article by Radley Balko. Many times, theyre not even finding enough contraband to make an arrest. Yet there havent been any calls in the state to reform the way SWAT teams are used. The disturbing results of the militarization of police are many. In 2010 a nine-year-old girl was shot in the neck and killed by a SWAT team. Shortly before she was killed, the SWAT team threw a flashbang grenade through the window of her home in Detroit, Michigan, immediately setting her blanket on fire. In another incident, Iraq war veteran Jose Guerena was shot 60 times by a SWAT team when serving a search warrant as part of a multi-house drug crackdown. Guerena picked up his own gun (but didnt fire it) in an attempt to defend his family after his wife saw a shadowy figure in their front yard holding a gun. Police later defended their actions after retracting their claim that Guerena shot first, and declined to say if they found any drugs in his house. More on the ACLUs new project can be seen here.

3	3,000 Outraged Truckers To Shutdown D.C., Demand Obama ImpeachmentDavid Seaman 
1	Describing his mind as both a blessing and a curse, local man Benjamin Walker, 27, told reporters Thursday that his intellect was probably just too intimidating for most women to engage with romantically. Im a very, very smart guy, and I guess most women are pretty scared off by that, you know? said Walker, confirming that women often seem extremely uncomfortable and agitated around him, most likely because of how cultured and well-read he is. After Ive been speaking to a girl for just a few minutes, shell usually start to get this look in her eyes like she wants to bolt and I can just tell that shes feeling so intellectually inferior that its impossible for her to continue with the conversation. Which is understandable, Walker added. I am able to speak confidently and at length about a wide range of subjects, so its probably hard for most women to follow along. According to the Milwaukee resident, whenever he is talking to a young woman and begins to expound at length on one of the many topics he is well versed insuch as Malcolm Gladwells book Outliers or the British graffiti artist Banksyshe begins to appear highly overwhelmed by his mental capacity and quickly grows visibly restless and distant. Walker, who acknowledged that his imposing cleverness and quick wit likely caused women to feel insecure about not being as smart as he is, confirmed that females frequently displayed an averse reaction to his impressive mind by noticeably checking out of the conversation or attempting, no doubt in fear and awe, to exit the discussion as quickly as possible. The 27-year-old, who graduated from Syracuse University in 2007, told reporters that he subscribes to The New Yorker magazine and keeps up with the news on a daily basisall facts that Walker said seem to persistently leave the opposite sex speechless when he inserts them into conversation. I should really be more careful, I suppose, because I can see that my intelligence can be a major hindrance to meeting women, most of whom are probably looking for a guy with a more ordinary or slowed-down intellectyou know, someone more on their level, said Walker. Sometimes, after talking to a girl at a party, for instance, I will try to approach her again and shell purposefully avoid eye contact with me, just so she doesnt have to deal with the embarrassment of contending with my staggering mental faculties. Its tough, because I really try my best to relieve their anxiety and say, Hey, look, dont sweat it, Im used to people not being able to keep up with my mind, added Walker. But that never seems to help. Theyre too petrified by that point. Admitting that his remarkable mind can make him appear unapproachable, Walker told reporters that he has even taken to downplaying his formidable intellect during first dates in order to put women at ease, employing tactics such as talking slower or briefly pausing to allow his conversational partners time to process the information that he imparts at a breakneck pace. Ultimately, however, Walker said there was only so much he could do to lower his cognitive standards to anothers level. Recently, for example, I talked to this girl at a bar for half an hour about Radioheadquoting lyrics and telling her about how the band went in a new musical direction with [their 2000 album] Kid Ayou know, really making it easy for her to understand, Walker said. Things were going great, and I was saying a lot of very interesting stuff, but when I tried to call her a few days later, she never picked up or returned my calls. And its like, look, Im a sophisticated guy, I like sophisticated music, Walker added. If you cant get that, then theres nothing I can do for you. Walker confessed that at the past few parties he has attended, his profound sagacity pushed women toward less intellectually arresting men. Unfortunately I sometimes puzzle women with my lofty comments and thought-provoking remarks, and that drives them right into the arms of complete dopes because thats less scary for them, said Walker. You know, the kind of guys who can barely string together 10 words before resorting to asking a girl about her hobbies or what she does for a living. Its like, whats the point? Is that even a conversation? And this is why Ive never really been in a long-term relationship before, because the girls Im with tend to get frustrated with their inability to think on my level, the 27-year-old continued. In the end, I think the problem is that they want to be with me because of my exceptional wit, but they eventually realize that Im just too deep. 
2	What Donald Trump Did For 200 Marines Shows Who He Really Is Throughout his campaign, Donald Trump has demonstrated his unwavering support for our troops. This is something that has been missing from the White House for some time now. Recently, Hannity gave a report about Trump that speaks louder than any of his statements could. During the war, Trump reportedly helped 200 stranded Marines who didnt have a flight home to Florida. Cpl. Ryan Stickney claims that after his unit spent six months in Saudi Arabia, it went to Camp Lejeune in North Carolina before heading home to Miami. Due to a logistics failure, the troops ended up stranded. The way the story was told to us was that Mr. Trump found out about it and sent the airline down to take care of us, Stickney commented. And thats all we knewI remember asking Who is Donald Trump? I truly didnt know anything about him. This is the same person that the media likes to portray as selfish. It may not seem like much to most people, but it was very important to a bunch of jar heads and more importantly their families waiting for them on the hot tarmac, he continued. I have not seen a Clinton or Sanders plane, or anything else for that matter, sent to support the troops. What do you think of Trump? Is he clearly a man of his word? 
2	BREAKING: Obama Likely To Be Impeached As Top Attorney Drafts Impeachment Papers The movement to impeach President Obama has been picking up steam lately, as more and more scandal in the White House continues to reveal itself. From the Benghazi scandal to IRS targeting, Americans all over are starting to wonder if Obama and the current administration can really be trusted with anything. It does not help that Obama has made it clear that he views himself above the law, and that he is not afraid to take executive action when he doesnt get his way. Now, the American people are starting to vocalize their concerns, and a new book by attorney Andrew C. McCarthy just might give them the voice they need. In his book Faithless Execution, McCarthy clearly outlines seven articles of impeachment, all designed to build a legal case for removing Obama from office. According to reports, McCarthy hopes that the book can build the political will in Congress and in the nation to bring impeachment to fruition. You have to make the public case that the president has to be removed, McCarthy claims, Im trying to make itThe victims are people who care if America is the America of the Constitution. McCarthy also continued on to warn the nation that if Congress turns the other way, Obamas actions simply will not stop. What do you think? Do you agree with McCarthy? Should Obama be impeached immediately? 
2	She Was Honoring Her Son Who Died In Iraq When A Cop Told Her To Look Straight Ahead She Never Expected THIS Candida lost her son in 2011 when he was serving in Iraq. Army Spc. Jose Torre Jr. was 21 years old when he was killed overseas. Before he was killed he had just bought a Nissan Cube with money that he had been saving for a few years. After he passed away Candida began driving the car. The car was Joses most prized possession, and it reminded Candida of her son whenever she stepped foot in it. In 2015 Candida got into a terrible car accident ant the Cube was totaled. Candida was okay, but she couldnt believe that the car was completely totaled. The responding officer to the scene noticed that Candida had the gold star license plate, which indicates she had lost someone in the line of duty. He then noticed that she was wearing her sons dog tags. The kind hearted officer then decided to do something unbelievable. Candida was holding a ceremony to honor the 4 year anniversary of her sons death when the officer surprised her with the Cube. The officer had the Cube transferred to his name immediately after the accident. He then made some calls, and with the help of local mechanics the Cube was fixed. Candida could not contain herself and began to bawl out of pure happiness. Candida was touched by the officers actions and thanked him a billion times. Will you send your support to Candida and the amazing officer? 
2	BREAKING: Ivanka Trump Makes SHOCKING Announcement, Leaves Liberals Trembling Donald Trump has been dominating the political arena for months now, and his family have been quick to defend him against media attacks. Until recently, however, theyve been significantly less public in voicing their own views on politics. In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, Donalds daughter Ivanka Trump was asked about her political beliefs and whether she would ever consider a career in politics. I do not think so, but I have learned in life to never say never! she told reporters. Its too limiting. That said, I am wholly focused on the growth of my own companymy lifestyle brand and IvankaTrump.com, a digital destination for women who workas well as working alongside my brothers to expand the global footprint of the Trump Organization. This is likely to spark a conversation about whether or not the Trumps could be in the White House for a long time. Of course, this all likely hinges on how well Donald Trump performs if elected president. The doors would probably be open for his daughter to run if he maintains the lead he has today. What do you think? Will the Trumps be highly influential in reshaping the way our country handles politics moving forward? 
2	If You Think Obama Is Insane... This Will Prove Youre Right According to recent reports, experts believe that President Obama may be mentally deteriorating, and this could be the cause of some of the outrageous decisions he has made lately. If this is the case, impeachment could be in the near future for sure. Breitbart reported John Noltes list of three reasons he believes Obamas mental health may be failing. Read them below and tell us what you think: 1. Obama proposed sequester, got it passed into law, blamed it on the other party, and the media is letting him get away with it. 
1	Admitting it took them some time to come around to the idea, the parents of local woman Laura Stevens said Wednesday that they had finally accepted their daughters mixed-attractiveness relationship with Kyle Baker, a man who is considerably worse-looking than she is. To be honest, we were quite surprised when Laura brought Kyle to the house for the first time, but eventually we came around to it, said Stevens mother, Janet, who noted that the pair were still met with uncomfortable stares and disapproval from other family membersespecially Lauras grandmotherat last years Thanksgiving dinner. Her father was particularly upset at first, but now I think hes learned to accept it, and hes even grown to like Kyle. Besides, Kyle seems to make Laura happy, and thats all that really matters. Janet Stevens went on to say that, if the two ever got married, she would love their children no matter how average-looking they are. 
2	After Killing A 5Can you imagine, youre driving and you swerve into oncoming traffic, recklessly. You crash into another car and then a tree. In the end, the accident ends up killing six people, including a 5-year-old child. How would you react to such an accident (God forbid it ever happens to you). I know that I, personally, would be beside myself with guilt, and I am not sure if I could ever forgive myself. One woman in Glendale Arizona recently caused such a thing to happen. Aaronessa Rebecca Keaton, a 24-year old from Glendale, is now in jail for reckless driving leading to multiple fatalities. She negligently drove into oncoming traffic, resulting in a three-car collision, and the death of a poor, 5-year-old child. And was she repentant or remorseful? Not at all. In fact, this is what she said when police told her about the death of the child: Sh*t happens. Keaton herself was pregnant and on probation for drug-related charges when the accident occurred. She tried to drive away from the first accident to avoid arrest, but promptly struck another car, hurting even more people. A toxicology report recently came back saying that she was on benzodiazepines and THC. She was rushed to the hospital and had a C-section. She is now in jail with the charges of manslaughter. What do you think of this killer and her lack of remorse? 
1	Noting that the purity and reliability were significantly lower, sources at Arizonas Florence State Prison confirmed that the lethal injection compounds given to convicted murderer Joseph Danvers III in the early morning hours Friday were by far the least effective drugs he took while incarcerated. According to reports, the combination of midazolam and hydromorphone injected into Danvers veins was of lesser quality and took far longer to take effect than any of the chemical substances he had access to during his 16 years on death row. Furthermore, the effects of the drugs Danvers ingested while in prisonwhich reportedly included wood varnish fumes, wine made in his cells toilet, and heroin cut with powdered milkwere far better understood than those of the cocktail of muscle relaxants and cardiac-arrest-inducing agents administered by the state. Sources added that compared to the officials who carried out the lethal injection, the inmates who concocted the illegal narcotics were also vastly more informed. 
1	Waking this morning without fresh memories of pain and suffering, national media attention, or ongoing services in memory of the victims, some no-name little American town is currently enjoying its last precious moments of anonymity before experiencing a devastating and unimaginable tragedy, sources confirmed today. Hi, how are you guys? a smiling local man reportedly remarked to a pair of neighbors as he walked to his job this morning, completely unaware that in a short matter of days, the tear-streaked faces of everyone he knows and works with will appear on television screens across the county in the aftermath of a senseless act of violence, most likely a shooting, or a kidnapping, or a home invasion, or an act of domestic terror, or something else too wrenching and awful to even describe. Thats good. You guys have a good one, all right? At press time, we should all just let them enjoy it, these last few moments of innocence and serenity, before its all gone, all of it, lost forever in a sea of evil and grief. 
2	Clinton Tells Veteran To Shut Up, What Happens Next Is Even Worse [VIDEO] Do you want to know what we would have to look forward to if the Clintons are back in the White House? Just watch this video of Bill Clinton campaigning for his wife Hillary in South Carolina this week. During his speech, the former president was interrupted by a former Marine, who demanded to know what his wife intends to do for Veterans Affairs. What do you think should be done with the VA? Clinton asked the veteran. The thing is, we lost four lives in Benghazi killed and your wife tried to cover it up, the Marine responded. The crowd was quick to boo the man, but he stood tall. Are you going to let me answer? Clinton snapped at the Marine. This is America. I get to answer. You listen to me. I heard you. I heard your speech, Clinton continues. They heard your speech. You listen to me now. Am I allowed to answer? Im not your commander in chief anymore, but if I were, Id tell you to be more polite and sit down. I would listen! the veteran shouted back. Do you have the courage to listen to my answer? Clinton continued. Thats whats wrong: his mind has been poisoned by lies and he wont listen. Finally, one woman decided to stand up for the veteran. Hillary lied over four coffins, she chimed in. She lied and she lied to those families. So all those families are liars? Watch the full interaction below and tell us what you think. Do we need to keep the Clintons far away from the White House? 
3	How Did Michael Hastings Really Die?Melissa Melton Again, all the media reports admit these trace amounts had nothing to do with Hastings crash and that Hastings was not intoxicated at the time of the crash, but the headlines continue to portray him as a meth and pot junkie that got messed up and simply drove his car into a tree, diverting attention away from the completely suspicious circumstances surrounding his death. This is a smear campaign, character assassination and nothing more. Hastings deserves a real investigation! The Los Angeles coroner has released the report on Michael Hastings untimely death, and it would appear the document will be milked for all the damage control propaganda it is worth. Dancing in step to the establishment tune on cue, the mainstream media has jumped all over another excuse to titillate its audience with the second act of the spectacle we are currently witnessing. spectacle noun spek-ti-kl also -ti-kl 1:something exhibited to view as unusual, notable, or entertaining; especially : an eye-catching or dramatic public display In short, you couldnt write a better movie script than this morbid theater thats being rolled out like a red carpet before our eyes, ladies and gentlemen. The coroner found traces of amphetamine and marijuana in Hastings system. Let the medias games begin. The Associated Press began its report on Hastings autopsy with, After 14 years of sobriety, journalist Michael Hastings had returned to drugs (never mind that would have made him 19 years old, a teen at the time when he last did drugs, something our own President has admitted to numerous times). Prior to even reading the story itself, lets consider the LA Times headline: Coroner, family link Michael Hastings to drug use at time of death. Its pretty straightforward; the LA Times is suggesting drug use played a role in Hastings car wreck. But then the story actually says: Coroners officials said Hastings had traces of amphetamine in his system, consistent with possible intake of methamphetamine many hours before death, as well as marijuana. Neither were considered a factor in the crash, according to toxicology reports. [emphasis added] So now Hastings is painted as using meth and pot hours before his car exploded, even though it was admittedly not a factor in his death. Lets continue: Hastings had arrived in Los Angeles from New York the day before the accident, with his brother scheduled to arrive later the day of the crash as his family was attempting to get [Hastings] to go to detox, the report stated. Hastings was believed sober for 14 years, but had recently begun using drugs again in the past month or so, according to the coroners office, based on interviews with family members. A medical marijuana card was found in Hastings wallet and had been prescribed for treatment of post-traumatic stress resulting from his time as a war journalist in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hours before the crash, Hastings had last been seen by one witness passed out sometime between 12:30 a.m. and 1 a.m. The crash occurred just before 5 a.m. Since posting the above, the LA Times has posted several more stories, including a new spin, Michael Hastings May Have Suffered PTSD from Work as War Journalist. The actual coroners report includes an Informant/Witness Statement that is an account based on a Hastings family member (the report alludes to it being one of Hastings brothers, as it discusses another brother scheduled to arrive and Hastings had two brothers) who came in from New York as the family was attempting to get the decedent to go to detox even though its followed by saying Michael Hastings had only started using drugs again the past month or so. Thats a quick intervention. The witness account goes on to claim a laundry list about Michael Hastings: reportedly Hastings had crashed his car into a pole years earlier and the witness believed Hastings to be under the influence at that time. Hastings had a medicinal marijuana card for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) suffered from his time as a reporter in Iraq and Afghanistan. The witness also claimed that Hastings was taking DMT (not found in his system according to the toxicology report) and added he would not be surprised if any stimulants were found within the residence, including cocaine. The witness also claimed that Hastings believed he was invincible, believing he could jump from a balcony and would be okay. So the American people and the world are supposed to believe that Hastings the journalist who ended General Stanley McChrystals career with his expos in Rolling Stone and later wrote that he was threatened with death over it succumbed to post-traumatic stress and suddenly fell off the amphetamine wagon he hadnt rode on since he was 19 years old within the last month and was on meth and pot right around or just after the same time he was telling his editor and others that the feds were investigating his close friends and associates and that he needed to go off the radar to cover a big story? What an amazing coincidence! Heres another one. Michael Hastings was reportedly working on a story about Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John Brennan. Why? One might consider a WikiLeaks email of hacked CIA contracted intelligence firm Stratfor (Hi guys! Just being courteous since we all know you like to email these stories around when youre mentioned.) which notes that the White House has a specific tasker to go after anyone printing materials negative to the Obama agenda. The email, sent by Stratfor President Fred Burton in September 2010, goes on to say, Even the FBI is shocked. The Wonder Boys must be in meltdown mode The message also mentions that Brennan (then counter-terrorism czar) is behind the witch hunts of investigative journalists learning information from inside the beltway sources. Connected to this leaked email is journalist Barrett Brown, who is currently awaiting trial in federal prison on charges related to these hacked emails and others Brown reported on from hacked intelligence firms that were contracted by government agencies. Cryptome explains: Before his untimely death, Hastings was working on a story about Barrett, announcing mysteriously to his followers Get ready for your mind to be blown. Hastings had been in touch with Barretts lawyers, and intended to interview him in June for the story. Barrett has been in prison for 281 days pending trial, and faces over a hundred years imprisonment for what Hastings called trumped up FBI charges regarding his legitimate reportorial inquiry into the political collective known sometimes as Anonymous. The CIA responded that any suggestion that Director Brennan has ever attempted to infringe on constitutionally-protected press freedoms is offensive and baseless. Offensive. Thats the word the agency used: offensive. Brennan, labeled the American governments drone program architect, oversaw the program during the time that teenage American citizen Abdulrahman al-Awlaki (whom many sources have said was never involved in any illegal activity or terrorism at all) was struck down by a drone without any due process whatsoever. Yet its totally offensive for anyone to suggest that Brennan might do anything that might infringe on the Constitution. Surely Brennan had nothing to worry about considering a story was set to come out written by the guy who many credit with ending General McChrystals whole career. The Crash Only in America (and Jerry Bruckheimer films) can cars crash and burst in such fantastic flamesas was seen in the wreck of Michael Hastings. Hastings was driving a brand new Mercedes. The story goes that he was speeding down the road when his car suddenly turned at a 60-degree angle and slammed smack dab into a palm tree. Reportedly, there were no skid marks. Tire marks, yes, but no skid marks. For more proof on that, you can look at videos of the scene uploaded by YouTubers like this one which was shot three days after Hastings died. So Hastings made zero attempt to brake or stop the impending collision? The burning wreckage itself leaves even more questions. The video of Hastings wreck shows a fantastic explosion. A source who has had a 40-year career as a mechanic explained to me that cars do not simply blow up like that, and he added, especially not a Mercedes. (Not that any of us should really need a mechanic to know that cars just dont do that in real life.) The brilliant intensity of the flames cannot be explained by the impact either. LAnewsLOUDLABSfilmed Hastings car burning for minutes after the crash. Watch this footage and compare it toother videos of wrecked cars on fire (of which there are many on YouTube to choose from). Youll notice a glaring difference right away. To posit that Hastings car would burn at a different color temperature and intensity for as long as it did because of the speed of the impact (which is also disputed) does not make a lot of sense, either. Check out this video of a car in a high-speed chase with police hitting a barrier on the side of the highway and bursting into flames. The flames still are not the brilliant white shown in Hastings crash; even this video where a car is blown up with tannerite on purpose does not produce the intensely hot, sustained white flames that Hastings car wreck did. Take a look at this picture of the wreckage: Notice anything strange here? The metal buckled inward. Also, why has a white sheet been placed over the entire hood of this car? When a car hits a tree head-on, it tends to look a lot like this: It doesnt take a forensic specialist here. If a car slams into a tree head on, the hood typically buckles in, wrapping the rest of the hood around each side of the tree like a hug, trapping whats under the hood between the body of the vehicle and the tree. Engines are not typically completely disconnected and blown out of vehicles and thrown over a hundred feet simply from force of impact. Even if the hood blew off and flew straight up into the air, and the engine was able to completely free itself from the car, it would still have had to go around the tree if the collision was head on. Speaking of head on collisions, check out this photograph of Hastings wreck from the other side: The cars hood is not wrapped around the tree; its on the side of the tree. So if Hastings hit the tree dead on hard enough for the car to burst into the fantastically intense white flames shown in the video above, why isnt it wrapped around the tree? Why is the car sitting next to the tree? If the collision was hard enough to cause the car to explode like this, that is: While this writer does not claim to be any type of scientific expert, these questions should be allowed to be asked. The mainstream media should be asking them. They deserve answers. Instead, the media is involved in character assassination that diverts attention away from the real controversies surrounding Hastings death and the chilling effect it could have on other investigative journalists who expose establishment corruption. Surely Hastings final work will be 100 percent complete, without any parts missing surely it will not be changed, tampered with or watered down for public consumption.

3	Actress Stands With Farmers and Hemp History WeekHeather Callaghan The 4th Annual Hemp History Week still has a couple days left, and you still have time to join in some events. That isnt to say hemp happenings dont take place at other times of the year. I stumbled on the blog of an actress who once played a fashion-savvy valley girl in a popular 90s movie. A lot of sarcasm is aimed at celebrities, maybe even more so when they join causes. But this one gets a lot of flak for her attachment parenting beliefs and organic vegetarian lifestyle. I justhad no idea how she felt about hemp. Hemp product popularity continues to rise in great popularity in the US even though only a couple of states are just now playing with the idea of legalizing industrial hemp. It became criminalized along with THC-containing marijuana years ago. On her blog The Kind Life she writes: Healing food expert Julie Daniluk is also exuberant about this superfood for its ability to satiate and as a healthy substitute for unhealthy foods. Its creamy nutty flavor makes for a good milk substitute, nut butter, on salads, in soups, dips or do what I do and just lift a bag of hemp hearts and dump them in your mouth.

3	We Are Being Set Up For Higher Interest Rates, A Major Recession And A Giant Stock Market CrashBy Michael Snyder For those that are not familiar with the bond market, when yields go up bond prices go down. And when bond prices go down, that is bad news for economic growth. So we generally dont want yields to go up. Unfortunately, yields have been absolutely soaring over the past couple of weeks, and the yield on 10-year Treasury notes has now jumped one full percentage point since July The 10-year Treasury yield jumped to 2.36% in late trading on Friday, the highest since December 2015, up 66 basis point since the election, and up one full percentage point since July! The 10-year yield is at a critical juncture. In terms of reality, the first thing that might happen is a rate increase by the Fed in December, after a year of flip-flopping. A slew of post-election pronouncements by Fed heads including Yellens relatively soon have pushed the odds of a rate hike to 98%. As I noted the other day, so many things in our financial system are tied to yields on U.S. Treasury notes. Just look at what is happening to mortgages. As Wolf Richter has noted, the average rate on 30-year mortgages is shooting into the stratosphere The carnage in bonds has consequences. The average interest rate of the a conforming 30-year fixed mortgage as of Friday was quoted at 4.125% for top credit scores. Thats up about 0.5 percentage point from just before the election, according to Mortgage News Daily. It put the month on a short list of 4 worst months in more than a decade. If mortgage rates continue to shoot higher, there will be another housing crash. Rates on auto loans, credit cards and student loans will also be affected. Throughout our economic system it will become much more costly to borrow money, and that will inevitably slow down the overall economy. Why bond investors are so on edge these days is because of statements such as this one from Steve Bannon In a nascent administration that seems, at best, random in its beliefs, Bannon can seem to be not just a focused voice, but almost a messianic one: Like [Andrew] Jacksons populism, were going to build an entirely new political movement, he says. Its everything related to jobs. The conservatives are going to go crazy. Im the guy pushing a trillion-dollar infrastructure plan. With negative interest rates throughout the world, its the greatest opportunity to rebuild everything. Ship yards, iron works, get them all jacked up. Were just going to throw it up against the wall and see if it sticks. It will be as exciting as the 1930s, greater than the Reagan revolution conservatives, plus populists, in an economic nationalist movement. Steve Bannon is going to be one of the most influential voices in the new Trump administration, and he is absolutely determined to get this trillion dollar infrastructure plan through Congress. And that is going to mean a lot more borrowing and a lot more spending for a government that is already on pace to add 2.4 trillion dollars to the national debt this fiscal year. Sadly, all of this comes at a time when the U.S. economy is already starting to show significant signs of slowing down. It is being projected that we will see a sixth straight decline in year-over-year earnings for the SP 500, and industrial production has now contracted for 14 months in a row. The truth is that the economy has been barely treading water for quite some time now, and it isnt going to take much to push us over the edge. The following comes from Lance Roberts With an economy running at below 2%, consumers already heavily indebted, wage growth weak for the bulk of Americans, there is not a lot of wiggle room for policy mistakes. Combine weak economics with higher interest rates, which negatively impacts consumption, and a stronger dollar, which weighs on exports, and you have a real potential of a recession occurring sooner rather than later. Yes, the stock market soared immediately following Trumps election, but it wasnt because economic conditions actually improved. If you look at history, a stock market crash almost always follows a major bond crash. So if bond prices keep declining rapidly that is going to be a very ominous sign for stock traders. And history has also shown us that no bull market can survive a major recession. If the economy suffers a major downturn early in the Trump administration, it is inevitable that stock prices will follow. The waning days of the Obama administration have set us up perfectly for higher interest rates, a major recession and a giant stock market crash. Of course any problems that occur after January 20th, 2017 will be blamed on Trump, but the truth is that Obama will be far more responsible for what happens than Trump will be. Right now so many people have been lulled into a sense of complacency because Donald Trump won the election. That is an enormous mistake. A shaking has already begun in the financial world, and this shaking could easily become an avalanche. Now is not a time to party. Rather, it is time to batten down the hatches and to prepare for very rough seas ahead. All of the things that so many experts warned were coming may have been delayed slightly, but without a doubt they are still on the way. So get prepared while you still can, because time is running out. 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. Of course the crash will be blamed on Trump. With Janet Jell-O head raising interests rates, watch how many houses go into foreclosure. Heard it all before, and before that, and before that..doomsday for the 100th time.sighand yes, I agreeit will be blamed on Trumpif it even happens Synder doesnt know the top tier banksters have been developing strategies to stoke inflation, race to the bottom currency debasement around the globe? A burning pile of currencies, atop sits The Phoenix global currency, foretold by the Rothschilds Economist cover 1988 cover article for a 2018 roll out. Larry Summers spelled the inflation strategy out in the Washington Post. Summers = same bankster minion who spearheaded the repeal of Glass Steagall, negative interest rates, and the cashless society. Always gets back to the banksters, who dont need to trigger a crash.we might get shoved into the next paradigm similar to the manner wealthy Gulf oil nations are implementing the new economic order, euphemistically referred to as Vision 2030. Relentless economic squeezing = austerity, rationing, and greater dependence on government subsidies. Economic interdependence, privatization, 24/7 tracking. Panics and depressions for the last 400 years (maybe more) are through easy money, over building, militarization, then the money tightens (as what we will experience again for the nth time), interest rates go up, over capacity and inventory in all industries are bought for a fraction of what they are worth, and the concentration of ownership goes up. There is a saying that behind every great fortune, there is a great crime. Perhaps a change in empire, just as Spain, Portugal, the Dutch, French and English have experienced giving the IMF/World Bank ownership of all central banking for their owners. 
1	After occupying a pre-eminent position in American culture for more than half a century, sports was de-emphasized Sunday, returning to what one U.S. spokesperson called 'a more proper perspective.' Phase one of the de-emphasis begins next week, when U.S. citizens will be stripped of all pro team merchandise, including Starter-brand NFL team jackets, officially licensed replica NBA jerseys and any remaining wacky fan novelty items. 'I am going to fight this, as it is my strong conviction that sports is life, and the rest is just details,' said Chicago resident Brian Fordson, clutching his Tazmanian Devil-Chicago Bears beer-dispenser/ helmet. According to reports, replacing sports in national importance will be either folk dancing or the study of the pre-WWI immigrant labor movement. 
2	Donald Trump Announces Choice For Attorney General Donald Trump has remained the GOP frontrunner for months now, and his confidence is quickly building. Now, hes starting to build a clearer picture of how he envisions his presidency, and more specifically, what America can expect his administration to look like. Recently, Trump announced that his top pick for attorney general would be South Carolina representative and chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, Trey Gowdy. This, of course, would be a nightmare for Hillary Clinton, who has been inextricably involved in the scandal. @HillaryClintons toast. Dems had better get the B Team off the bench. @TGowdySC for Attorney General under President Trump, Trump tweeted. Trump winning the Republican nomination is not out of the question. What do you think? Would America see a drastic change in Gowdy became Attorney General? Do you think he would be able to restore what Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch have broken? 
2	BREAKING: Millions Join Forces Against Muslims To Do THIS... Following the Charlie Hebdo attacks, the people of France have come together to mobilize in the wake of the shocking terrorist attack. The country is now taking a stand against radical Islam. According to French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, more than 700,000 people have come forward to march in support of Charlie Hebdo and the freedom of speech. Participants span all ages, and according to one CNN report, world leaders are expected to march with the protestors. Suspected participates include French President Francois Hollande, British Prime Minister David Cameron, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, King Abdullah II, and German President Angela Merkel. But thats not it on the list of powerful attendeesthe march will even serve to unite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Noticeably missing from the list, however, is our own President Barack Obama. Obama also was criticized for leaving out any mention of the freedom of speech in his statement regarding the attacks. Now, French authorities are claiming that they have killed the brothers suspected in the attacks, but are warning citizens that terror cells had been activated in the country and there may be a wave of attacks still to come. 
1	Expressing confusion and annoyance upon reading the phrase, sources confirmed Wednesday that someone at ESPN thinks its okay to call something the Confed Cup with no further context or explanation. The Confed Cup? What is that? What makes them think they can get away with that? said Lima, OH resident Dan Burrowes, 34, referring to a headline mentioning widespread riots at whatever the fuck the Confed Cup is. You only abbreviate things if people know what youre talking about. Like the Pres Cup. Its pretty easy to guess thats the Presidents Cup. But you sure as shit dont go and call anything the Confed Cup. Not unless youre speaking to a roomful of tennis fans, or Civil War enthusiasts, or whoever is supposed to understand what that means. Burrowes, who said he didnt have time to look it up right now, told reporters that he would probably check back later to see who won. 
1	This week in Indianapolis, the top NFL owning prospects in the country are gathering to prove that they have the raw skills it takes to be an NFL owner. The combine is the most important showcase for rich white businessmen will hundreds of millions of dollars on hand to prove they have what it takes to dominate an NFL franchise from the owner's box. Here are some of the under-the-radar magnates who have emerged as legitimate owning prospects during the combine. Tom Harthridge Will hire a firm to immediately redesign the uniform of any franchise he owns, ignore fan outcry and hide his initials somewhere in the new logo. Brad Seaman His iron-fisted management of the two southeastern theme parks he owns suggests he has the capability to run the kind of cult of personality to provide a distraction to even the most seasoned team. Maurice Kleminski Has hired and personally fired four CFOs as owner of Shop-Ease grocery stores, and promises to bring the same kind of fickle unpredictability to his NFL head coaching search. Louis Michaels Is grooming his flaky, incompetent 45-year-old son to run his hard-won business into the ground. James Donaldson, III His working-class-to-millionaire success story ensures that he has the kind of barely-subdued class resentment to make outbursts at overpaid players and his fellow owners a regular occurrence. Nicholas Comigan Though 48 years old, the former software mogul believes himself to be NFL players' peers and is sure to lead the league's owners in lewd comments and tasteless graphic tee shirts. 
2	BREAKING: List Of Companies That Fund And Support Al Sharpton The Reverend Al Sharpton has been revealed as a criminal, and it is no longer a secret that his National Action Network is in serious debt, even after bullying companies into supporting their agendas. We support those that support us, Sharpton wrote in a letter to American Honda, sparking some to deem the donations as protection money. We cannot be silent while African-Americans spend hard-earned dollars with a company that does not hire, promote or do business in a statistically significant manner. Soon after his statement was made, American Honda began sponsoring NAN with a donation made annually. I think this is quite clearly a shakedown operation, claims Peter Flaherty, the president of the National Legal and Policy Center. Hes good at harassing people and making noise. CEOs give him his way because it is a lot easier than confronting him. Below is a public list of some of the other companies that are supporting NAN: Anhueser-Busch 
2	Veteran Hero James Vernon Saves 16 Children From Attempted Murderer Attempted murderer Dustin Brown did not expect to run into a veteran on this day. James Vernon was teaching a group of youngsters chess at the Morton Public Library in Illinois, Tuesday, when the knife-wielding 19-year-old, Dustin Brown stormed into the room yelling Im going to kill some people! Vernon got between Brown and the children, giving them time to escape, before using his U.S. Army knife-fight training from decades ago to disarm the teenager. I gave [the kids] the cue to get the heck out of there, and, boy, they did that. Quick, like rabbits, Vernon old the Pekin Daily Times. I tried to talk to him. I tried to settle him down, Vernon said. I didnt, but I did deflect his attention and calmed him a bit. I asked him if he was from Morton, did he go to high school. I asked what his problem was. He said his life sucks. Thats a quote. Once the room was cleared of everyone but him and the attacker, Vernon said there was no more talking. I grabbed him and threw Somehow he wound up on a table, Vernon said, adding that he hit him on the right collarbone until his arms numbed and he dropped the knife. Bizpac Review Thank God this hero was there to save the day. He deserves recognition for his sacrifice as a veteran and for these kids. What should the punishment be for the attacker, Dustin Brown?

3	Neo-Con: Syria Has Nothing to do with Humanitarian ConcernsFDDs Clifford May admits Syria is a proxy war with Iran and Russia, Neo-Cons in bed with Al Qaeda. Human rights merely a pretense. Foundation for Defense of Democracies Clifford May in an article titled, The Battle of Syria: Assads survival would be a victory for Iran and a defeat for the US, openly dispels the commonly held notion among the Wests remaining public support, that their meddling in Syrias ongoing strife has anything to do with humanitarian concerns. In fact, May openly states that defeating Syria as a proxy of Iran is far more important than the dearth of sincere Muslim freedom fighters or humanitarian concerns. Video: Clifford May begins by playing the humanitarian card but ends admitting the entire conflict is a proxy war with Iran, and by implication, Russia. Amid a myriad of lies directed at Iran, May proposes worldwide occupation is necessary to maintain American influence in the long run, a notion that sounds suspiciously a lot like Empire. May also makes mention of strange bedfellows in the current conflict, by quoting a fellow commentator who stated, the McCain wing of the Republican party, and the rest of Washingtons progressive, Islamophilic clerisy are aligning with al-Qaeda emir Ayman al-Zawahiri and Muslim Brotherhood icon Yusuf al-Qaradawi. 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. May, perhaps hoping his readership is as profoundly ignorant of history as he assumes they are of current events, claims that Al Qaeda was a creation of Iran, willfully remiss of the fact that Americas CIA indeed created the terror organization in the mountains of Afghanistan to fight the Soviets in the 1980s, and have continuously retooled it to execute Western foreign policy since, up to and including in Syria now. Essentially, May expects readers to believe that Iran created Al Qaeda and unleashed it upon its own ally. Clearly, Mays narrative not only falters at face value, but contradicts the somewhat more reputable, and certainly better cited work of Seymour Hersh. Mays faulty conclusion is that should Syria prevail against these long-planned US machinations, with the help of Russia and Iran, the world would face a nuclear armed Iran emboldened by its ability to throw off American influence and would run roughshod over the peoples of the Middle East. May induces fear with the threat of an uncontrollable nuclear armed Iran specifically as a smokescreen for his true fear, and the fear of all Western neo-imperialists that Iran, Syria, and Russia would begin overturning the decades old hegemonic order of Wall Street and London. The internal documents of US policy makers, including Brookings Institutions Which Path to Persia? concede that even if Iran were to obtain nuclear weapons, they would not be deployed as anything but a means of deterrence, just as the US and Soviets did during the Cold War. Brookings concedes that it is a feared shift in geopolitical influence at the expense of America and its proxies that drives Western ambitions toward regime change in Iran, not any legitimate threat to the national security of either America or Israel. The doomsday scenario Clifford May paints is unfounded, his accusations against Iran as being a state sponsor of terror ring hollow as he himself backed the overthrow of the Libyan government and direct military intervention that saw millions of dollars of weapons and cash, along with air support and diplomatic backing go to the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), literally a wing of Al Qaeda. May also conveniently fails to mention that the US and Israel are funding, training, and arming a US State Department-listed foreign terror organization (#29), Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MEK) against Iran. May does however mention Al Qaeda being in Syria, and how US policy runs parallel to its agenda. Since the US is admittedly funding these armed militants, it turns out that the US is yet again a state that is sponsoring terrorism. Image: Brookings Institutions Middle East Memo #21 Assessing Options for Regime Change (.pdf), makes no secret that the humanitarian responsibility to protect is but a pretext for long-planned regime change. While Mays writings may seem like throwaway statements designed to stoke fear amongst the weakest of minds, it is instructive to note, after navigating through overt contradictions, that he makes no illusions of Syria being a battle fought for humanitarian causes. His colleagues at Brookings Institution, who authored the Middle East Memo #21 that suggested Syria be bled with unending violence confirms this is the general consensus of prevailing Western policy makers. The goal is to remove Syrian President Bashar al-Assad at any cost, including the utilization of strange bedfellows like Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood, and regardless of how high the cost is in terms of human life with some options including US-subsidized bloodshed that extends over the period of several years. There is nothing noble about the Wests involvement in Syria the architects and promoters of this agenda, like Neo-Con Clifford May and those amongst the Bookings Institution, confirm this in their own words. It is and always has been about expanding Western hegemony across the planet. If common sense, healthy skepticism, and critical thinking have yet to awaken some amongst the public, perhaps their governments own policy makers telling them the conflict is an unjust act of aggression, will.

3	October 22: National Protest Against The Police Stateselfnews Post Shooting pets, tasering kids, no-knock SWAT raids, raping, pillaging you name it and it will only get worse until people have the courage to take action in huge numbers and put a stop to this madness that has been tolerated for way too long. The October 22 Coalition to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation has been mobilizing every year since 1996 for a National Day of Protest on October 22, bringing together those under the gun and those not under the gun as a powerful voice to expose the epidemic of police brutality. Please view their videos below and find a location to participate. The Coalition also works on the Stolen Lives Project, which documents cases of killings by law enforcement nationwide the second edition of their book documents only the tip of the iceberg with 2,000 confirmed cases. According to the Coalition, 2014 has been particularly bad with 800 documented cases. The full statement from the Coalition is as follows: The Call for the 19th National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization On the eve of the 19th annual National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation, a defiant new spirit is in the air. In Ferguson, Missouri, people continue to rise up in outrage against the killing of Mike Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old Black youth who was just days away from starting college. Despite the rapid and ruthless militarization of the town by racist police and the National Guard, people defied curfews, tear gas, rubber bullets, and calls for a return to business-as-usualand oppression-as-usualby protesting and rebelling for ten consecutive, sweltering nights in August. Thousands from around the country gathered in Ferguson this past weekend to stand in solidarity with the brave people of Ferguson. These are the moments where the decades of racist abuse, criminalization, and police terror at the hands of this system came crashing against fearless resistance from the very people it seeks to control, inspiring justice-seeking people not just nationwide, but around the world. The National Day of Protest was founded to oppose exactly these kinds of abuses. This year, in big cities and small towns, in the face of police brutality, repression, mass incarceration and the criminalization of youth we say, Let the spirit of Ferguson ignite hearts nationwide with an uncompromising passion for justice! In the United States, this year has seen a litany of state violence, with increasing documentation and coverage making these ongoing atrocities more difficult to deny. Over 800 people have been killed by law enforcement nationwide, at least 200 since Mike Brown, and at least 23 people in one week. Although police criminalization of and violence against women and transgender people is nothing new, they have become more newsworthy of late. There seems to be no level too low for law enforcement to stoop in their violence, whether it is against children and young teens, the elderly, the deaf, or those who are emotionally or mentally distressed. In New York City, the era of mass criminalization of Black and brown communities through stop and frisk was supposed to be over thanks to the election of a supposedly progressive mayor. What de Blasio brought instead though, was the return of William Bratton, the architect of Stop and Frisk! Brattons highly oppressive broken windows style of policing, in which the smallest crimes are aggressively policed, has already led to an increase in police brutality and public mistrust. In this year, NYPDs use of Broken Windows has led to the highly publicized chokehold death of beloved community member Eric Garner, the beating of an 84-year-old immigrant man for allegedly jaywalking, a chokehold on a 7-month pregnant woman for barbecuing in front of her home, a young man kicked in the head while lying on the ground handcuffed, numerous people beaten for falling asleep on the subway, a raid of Harlem housing projects, and numerous other atrocities. Even some of the most well-known cultural aspects of New York are under attack, as subway performers are being arrested at astonishing rates simply for trying to earn a living as they have been doing for decades. Meanwhile, the same City Council that voted so strongly for police reforms earlier this year has remained silent in the midst of a new progressive administration, lifting their voices only to cry out for 1,000 more cops! We have seen other attempts at creating some modicum of accountability being thwarted or ineffective, such as the gutting of civilian oversight mechanisms and useless federal investigations of police departments by the U.S. Department of Justice, while those who document police misconduct are under attack. But we applaud the different ways that people have risen up and persevered. Law enforcement departments across the country have come to use on a routine basis the exertion of military enforcement and control in communities that are deemed a social disturbance. Although there has been a long history of the militarization of police, the revelation of just how much military weaponry has been supplied to local law enforcement by the Pentagon and how the uprising in Ferguson was dealt with are a sobering reminder of the capabilities of law enforcement to exert standing army-like control over the population of non-combatant civilians. It also would be a moral crime to ignore the fact that the intensification of police arms and enforcement is borne out of the desire, on behalf of the state, to quell the expression of people of color in their demands for justice. Through the unabated organizing and pressure from the people, we can rejoice over the release of political prisoners Lynne Stewart and Eddie Conway (and hopefully soon Sundiata Acoli), but we must continue our fight for the many political prisoners who continue to be unjustly locked up, along with the hundreds of thousands imprisoned for non-violent offenses due to discriminatory practices in the criminal justice system. The U.S. has the highest number of prisoners in the world, incarcerating almost one-third of the worlds female prisoners, and having more than 60% of prisoners being people of color still a minority of this nations population. Despite solitary confinement being internationally designated as torture, over 80,000 languish in such conditions, including some as young as 16. Solitary confinement led to a death sentence for some, and more egregious evidence of torture in prisons are now coming to light. This brazen inhumanity is exemplified by border patrols abuse of immigrant children seeking safety within our borders, and the warehousing and deportation of literally millions of immigrants by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Under such a corrupt system, no imprisonments are legitimate! The Call for a Month of Resistance to Mass Incarceration, Police Terror, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation declares that this will not stop unless and until millions of people, of all nationalities, stand up and say NO MORE, in unmistakable terms. The history of this and every other country shows that without struggle, there can be no positive change; but with struggle this kind of change becomes possible. October 22nd is a day that people around the nation have mobilized every year since 1996 for a National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation. It is crucial that we bring forward a powerful National Day of Protest in cities and towns across the U.S. to challenge the ongoing violence against the people. This October 22nd, stand with thousands across the country to express our collective outrage, creativity, and resistance in response to the crimes of this system.

3	Alaska to Allow Parents to Opt Kids Out of Common Core TestingBy Mike Maharrey Rep. Wes Keller (R-Wasilla) introduced House Bill 156 (HB156) last year. The legislation broadly defines the rights of Alaska parents to direct the education of the children. An important provision in the law allows parents to opt their children out of standardized testing. (1) recognizing the authority of a parent and allowing a parent to object to and withdraw the child from a standards-based assessment or test required by the state; The legislation also allows parents to opt their kids out of certain classes. Shane VanderHart with Truth in American Education explains the significance of the opt-out right. This doesnt change Alaskas standards which are essentially Common Core, but this is a win for parents who were having issues opting their students out of assessments and certain classes, like sex ed. This is something all states should do if they havent already. While parents have a natural right to opt their children out of assessments it is so much easier when the government cooperates with parents rather than oppose them. New York serves as a shining example of the effectiveness of an individual opt-out campaign against Common Core testing programs. Grassroots activists started a movement that spread across the entire state and sent a powerful message against Fed Ed. The New York Post reported that 20 percent of parents chose to opt their children out from the Common Core standardized testing last year. In the Lower Hudson Valley, the number reported this year was even higher, according to the USA Today: Some school officials voluntarily reported their figures on Tuesday; others declined, saying the numbers should first be reported to their boards of education; others did not respond at all.Those who responded were responsible for nearly 44,000 students, nearly 10,000 of whom declined to take the test, at a rate of 24 percent. The Washington Post reported that he number of opt-outs were also high in other areas. Eighty-six percent of test eligible students in the Long Island district of Comsewogue refused the test, and 89 percent of students in Dolgeville in the Mohawk Valley said no. Newsdayreported that 49.7 percent of all Long Island students refused the test even though the Newsday editorial board has repeatedly urged parents to have their children take it. Massive opt-outs create a path forward for Alaska parents wanting to eliminate Common Core standards and put education back into the hands of state and local bodies where it belongs. Ultimately, if enough students opt out of the testing, it could collapse the Common Core system altogether. Common Core was intended to create nationwide education standards. While touted as a state initiative through the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), the U.S. Department of Education was heavily involved behind the scenes. Up until recently, the DoE tied the grant of waivers from the No Child Left Behind Act to adoption of Common Core, using the standards as powerful strings to influence state educational policy. The Every Student Succeeds Act passed by Congress this year now prohibits the DoE from attempting to influence, incentivize, or coerce State adoption of the Common Core State Standards or any other academic standards common to a significant number of States. But under the new federal law, states still must comply with College and Career Ready Standards, based on Common Core, as a condition for receiving some federal dollars. It also requires the federal education secretary to approve each states plans for standards and assessments. Even with the federal strings partially cut from Common Core for the time being, it is still imperative for each state to adopt its own standards. The feds can once again use these national standards to meddle in state education at any time if they remain in place. Just as importantly, one-size-fits-all standard simply dont benefit children. State and local governments should remain in full control of their own educational systems.

All attempts to create standardized educational testing and curriculum are insane. It is mind control supreme. Returning to the sovereign united states is that simple. We should be asking the question of how the kids were opted IN to the Common Core testing, in the first place. 
1	Michael Vick's pregame pep talk Sunday, in which he recounted the events of a brutal 2004 dogfight between his pit bull terrier Zebro and rival pit bull Maniac, failed to inspire his teammates in any way whatsoever, Eagles team sources reported. Vick, who was playing in his first NFL game since serving an 18-month prison sentence, called the 10-minute story 'really motivational,' and reportedly failed to understand why his graphic recounting of how Zebro ripped out Maniac's larynx caused teammates to stagger out of the player tunnel and onto Lincoln Financial Field with their heads hanging. 'I don't know what their problem is, because that story pumps me up every time,' Vick said during a postgame press conference. 'It's a classic underdog story: On one side of the dogfighting pit you had Maniac, who was a beast, and on my end you had Zebro, who was pretty good, but not great. Yet we had trained him hard. We strengthened his hind legs by forcing him to constantly jump at a teasing stick; we emotionally tortured him so that he would attack everything in sight; and from the time he was a little puppy, we toughened him up by beating him with a metal baton.' 'I told my teammates that the stakes were high, because if Zebro had lost, I would have either electrocuted him, drowned him, or slammed his body to the ground until he was dead,' Vick added. 'How is that not inspiring?' According to Eagles players, Vick's voice increased in intensity at key moments throughout the pep talk, and he was at his most impassioned when he spoke of how Zebro continued to fight despite the fact that numerous chunks of flesh had been ripped from his body. Vick also sought to motivate his team by comparing the Eagles' weekly preparation to Zebro's, saying that just as Vick had forced his pit bull to drag a tire with his mouth for hours on end to strengthen his jaw, the Eagles defense had put in the training necessary to stop quarterback Matt Cassel. Sources confirmed that by the end of the locker room speech, the Eagles were so demoralized they could barely muster the will to put their hands into the team circle for a group cheer. 'I don't know why he told us those things,' said Eagles quarterback Kevin Kolb, visibly disturbed as he told reporters that Vick looked proud when he explained how Zebro nearly lost consciousness several times throughout the fight. 'I spent the first half of the game trying to get all that imagery out of my head: the bloody pit, the cigar smoke, grown men shouting as dogs ripped each other to shreds. It was so messed up that it didn't even sound real.' 'They turned those dogs into monsters and made them kill each other for their own sick enjoyment,' Kolb added. 'For their own fucking enjoyment.' Running back LeSean McCoy echoed Kolb, saying that at no time during the game did he draw on the thought of Zebro losing half his ear as a source of inspiration. 'Before we went out on the field, [Vick] told us how the dogs went at each other's throats one last time, and when Zebro broke free, his snout and face were completely covered in blood,' McCoy explained. 'That's whenand I'll never forget this for the rest of my lifeMike looked at us, smiled, and said, 'But it wasn't Zebro's blood. It was Maniac's. Now let's go out there and have some fun!'' 'Jesus Christ,' McCoy added. Teammates said Vick continued to reference the story throughout the game as a motivational tool, at one point shouting, 'Remember Zebro!' when the team faced a difficult third-down situation. In addition, as Vick finally entered the game to a loud ovation, his teammates said they were further disturbed when Vick compared them to his dogfighting crew, the 'Bad Newz Kennels.' Vick said the group would do anything for each other, especially when it came to the mass execution of dogs who failed to win the multimillionaire $1,000 in illegal prize money. Vick then broke the huddle by loudly barking three times. 'The only reason the Chiefs scored in the second half was because I was still thinking about what Mike said during halftime about 'trunking,'' said linebacker Omar Gaither, referring to the practice of putting two pit bulls in a car trunk, closing the door, and allowing them to fight for 15 minutes until one is dead. 'Why is this freak on my team? Why are people cheering for him? Seriously, answer my questions. Why?' 
2	Students Begin Nationwide Revolt Against Michelle After She Imposes Absurd New Rules As students begin to head back to school for the 2014-2015 school year, some of them have started experiencing Michelles new school rules for the first time ever, and theyre realizing just how extreme they were. According to recent reports, new rules implemented by the First Lady mean that everything is affected, including all three meals including the foods offered in vending machines. Vending machine selections are viewed as a wholesale change from previous years. Now, students are taking to social media to express their concerns regarding the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Schools Act. What do you think? Has the First Lady taken things way too far? 
1	SPOKANE, WAMembers of the Washington State University-Spokane student body announced Monday that everyone is afraid to visit K-Dee's Tap, that one bar without any windows next to the hardware store on Fordam Avenue. '[K-Dee's] is some kind of biker drug bar or something,' sophomore Peter Mendis said. 'The drinks are super cheap and they stay open like an hour after bar time, but don't go in there. My friend J.J.'s roommate's brother almost got stabbed there.' K-Dee's leather-jacketed bartender, a 67-year-old with a leg brace, said he had no recollection of the near-stabbing, but did caution that, in general, the regular patrons do not welcome 'college boys.' 
3	The Battle Against Cow Farts: How Will That Affect Consumers Health?By Catherine J. Frompovich Recently, Mr. Hall emailed the interview Serbian journalist Mara Knezevic-Kern had with J Marvin Herndon, PhD, whom I had interviewed about his research indicating that coal fly ash is a component of the chemtrail mix being sprayed. The link to the Knezevic-Kern interview is here. A most interesting aspect in that interview, I think, is the question she asked Dr Herndon about President Obamas war on cow methane, specifically that cows must be fed to reduce the methane they produce, i.e., cow farts! Really! Agriculture: In June, in partnership with the dairy industry, the USDA, EPA and DOE will jointly release a Biogas Roadmap outlining voluntary strategies to accelerate adoption of methane digesters and other cost-effective technologies to reduce U.S. dairy sector greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent by 2020. [9] So, as a retired natural nutritionist I have to wonder what chemicals will be added along with other ingredients to reduce methane, which I contend results from forcing cows to eat starches and grains that Nature never intended them to eat thereby making cows produce more flatulence and gas than they normally would. Heres proof that what cows eat influences their output not only in milk, but in cow flops and methane: A 50 percent variation in manure production might result from differences in feed wastage, ration formulation, type of feeding program (e.g., dry lot versus pasture feeding), and/or animal grouping systems. [5] [CJF emphasis added] Fermented grains also are fed to dairy cows, which cause, or increase, their digestive problems, flatulence and probable food allergies, since cows were designed by Nature to eat grasses: By-products (e.g., products of the brewing and distilling industries) are often utilized in cattle diets. [6] Cows are herbivores. Cows are herbivorous. Their tooth and digestive system anatomy and physiology indicate an animal specialized for eating grass. [2] To prove that cows have digestive problems, scientists are working with cannulated cows [3], or whats called holey cows, trying to figure out whats going on inside cows ruminant stomachs. They have one large stomach with four chambers. Heres the question that prompted this blog: Obama recently announced that cow dung emits methane, which is more dangerous than CO2. He declared war on cow dung, and proposed that the cows must eat food additives to reduce the methane in their dung. On that occasion it was announced that the feed industries already own the formula for this supplement. Can we expect the Environmental Protection Agency to adopt a law on mandatory feeding of these supplements to livestock, regardless of the lack of testing on the functioning of such modified meat and dairy products on the human body? [1] In addition to the above, dairy cows are injected daily with a synthetic hormone (rBGH) to produce more milk, which enables three milkings per day. rBGH is a genetically engineered variant of the natural growth hormone produced by cows. Sold to dairy farmers under the trade name Posilac (formerly owned by Monsanto, now owned by Eli Lilly), injection of this hormone forces cows to boost milk production by about 10%, while increasing mastitis, lameness, and reproductive complications. [8] The available evidence shows that the use of rBGH can cause adverse health effects in cows. [7] Are those health effects passed on to humans in their milkis that why milk has to be pasteurizedand their meat? Another new technology that may impact nutrient utilization and excretion is the administration of bovine growth hormone (BGH), or somatotropin. This peptide hormone can increase milk production by as much as 30 percent in certain cows within the herd, although the entire herds production would increase by only 14 percent. The nutrient requirements of a herd treated with BGH may increase by about 7 to 8 percent, and manure P may increase by 5 percent. However, the nutrient losses from the farm per unit of milk produced would, therefore, decrease by 8 to 10 percent per unit of milk produced. [4] Heres a video on the latest feeding techniques for dairy cows. Is there any wonder why theres so much methane from cows? Just imagine what happens to you when you get into the wrong kind of food: heartburn, indigestion, flatulence, bloat, diarrhea, etc. Plus, now theres the call to add more disruption to dairy cows digestionprobably more synthetic chemicals or veterinary pharmaceuticalsthat will be added to the milk and meat supply. Old and past-prime-production dairy cows are sold as canner and cutter grade cows that usually wind up as lunchmeats. When will consumers wake up to whats being done to our food? No wonder so many people are allergic to milk and dairy products. Cows milk is compromised from the get-go. There really ought to be a law against that!

I expect a Cow Fart Czar to be nominated and duly grilled by Republicans for weeks on end as no doubt the nomination will be controversial, likely due to not being tough enough on cow farts in Russia and/or possible ties to Soros investments in Ukrainian Ranching Interests who in turn gave inordinate sums to the Clinton Foundation Farm Fart Initiative . Government shutdown possible. Hey, some things are just too dang important. 
2	Department Of Home Land Security Buys 1.6 Million Rounds of Ammo According to recent reports, Obamas Department of Homeland Security has issued an open purchase order for 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition. As usual, the administration does not have an explanation for this. The information was first revealed by blogger Ken Jorgustin. The Department of Homeland Security is apparently taking delivery of an undetermined number of the recently retrofitted 2,717 Mine Resistant Protected MaxxPro MRAP vehicles for service on the streets of the United States. You heard that right, these have been spotted out and about on the streets throughout Americaand have been documented by photos and videos. Although the exact number of MRAPs is unconfirmed, why would the government need these extreme weapons? In a war zoneyes, definitely, Jorgustin ordered. Lets protect our men and women. On the streets of AmericaThey all have gun portsGun ports? In the theater of war, yes. On the streets of America? Of course, a DHS spokesman is justifying the purchase by claiming it will help the government get a low price for a big purchase. Something doesnt seem right here. What do you think? Do Americans need to keep a close eye on the government under Obamas leadership? 
1	Saying its the only time of day when everyone can be together in one place, the Gleason family confirmed Thursday that it strictly forbids smartphones to be used while eating dinner in front of the television. Dinner is a chance for us to sit down as a whole familyis it really so much to ask that everyone puts down their phone for just one hour while we eat and watch some TV? said mother Diane Gleason, adding that the rule gives the busy family of four a chance to enjoy shows stored on DVR without getting sidetracked by checking Facebook, playing games, or reading text messages. Were all so attached to our devices that we sometimes forget about taking time to come together for a little while, set aside our technological distractions, and watch The Big Bang Theory as a family. The kids may groan about it, but if it wasnt for dinner, none of us might be caught up on any shows at all. Gleason went on to say that even she had days when shed rather be on her phone than watching The Voice, but knew it was important for the family that she follow the household rule at all times. 
2	BREAKING: Its Not Over... Hillary Clinton Just Dropped A Bombshell When Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election, Americans everywhere hoped that this would finally be the end to her political career. Now, rumors are circulating this week that Clinton has every intention of running for president again in 2020. Conservative 101 reports that sources close to Clinton have confirmed she is keeping her 2016 campaign team intact so she can make an attempt at the presidency againfor the third time. She is reportedly so arrogant that she believes voters will welcome her with open arms in four years. Shes convinced that, sooner than later, the voters will come to their sense and realize they made a horrible mistake by putting [Donald] Trump in the White House, the source said. Shes sure the voters will beg her to get in the race and she says, Im going to run again in 2020. She told meand Im paraphrasing: Trump has no idea what its like to run the biggest corporation in the world, the United States government, the source added. He has no f***ing idea how complicated it is, how many cogs are spinning at the same time, how many people are fighting at cross purposes, how much disinformation you get. The insider also claims Bill Clinton is against his wifes idea, believing her chances at the White House are officially over. If the rumors are true, this shows just how delusional Hillary Clinton really is. Even her most devoted supporters have likely lost faith in her ability to win and will be looking for a fresh face for their party.

'The New York Yankees are a proud, venerable franchise that should never have to be subjected to artificial turf, domes, other teams' logos, or anything unfamiliar or unfavorable,' said president Hank Steinbrenner, noting that the new Yankee Stadium scheduled to open in 2009 is so beautiful and spacious that it would be a waste to only use it for half a season. 'Each of the 29 new Yankee Stadiums will feature Yankee Stadium's signature white upper-deck faade as well as the historic Monument Park, and all games played in them will count as Yankee home games, as 51,000 Yankee fans will be bussed in from New York to attend them.' The Yankees also plan to build Yankee Stadiums in every single international city just in case Major League Baseball ever decides to hold their season opener there.

3	Chechnya High Rise Burns For 29 Hours With No Collapse, WTC 7?Joe Martino Looking at the photo taken of yesterdays blaze and comparing it to the WTC 7 photo taken on 9/11, we see two very different situations. In one we see a large portion of the building on fire and the fire appears to have been burning for some time. In another, we see almost no fire at all. Yet the building with little to no fire collapsed atfree-fallspeed into its own footprint in just 7 hours. The 29-hour blaze of Chechnyas building left the building still standing. This should raise some interesting questions as to why WTC 7 collapsed so quickly, or even why it collapsed at all. I wanted to end this one off with one of my favorite WTC 7 videos. Although it doesnt go into every shocking detail that proves WTC 7 could not have collapsed by fire and was in fact a controlled demolition, it gets straight to an obvious point that doesnt take a scientist to figure out. I also would like to be clear that this isnt just about making a point, but also about the fact that there are some serious questions that have been raised about 9/11 and the US government has refused to answer or re-investigate. As a society we must stop negating any real questions by calling them conspiracies, and instead open our minds up to the fact that there is some big time denial going on here about an event that has drastically changed the way our world functions. 
3	Calls for an EU Superstate Intelligence Agency Follow Hebdo Attack As PlannedAaron Dykes Were the Paris terror shootings a false flag? The lack of blood seen in footage of the incident, along with plenty of other, typical factors suggest as much. What else is new? But what is often equally telling with signature staged events, as Paris may well have been, is the political agenda to justify power that emerges in the wake of violence, bloodshed and tragedy. You know, afterwards. When the pieces are picked up, and used to revitalize unpopular governments and their mechanisms of control. Such is the case with the post-Charlie Hebdo world, freshly jolted into fear by the bloodiest attack on French soil in half a century. Hebdo Demands European Intelligence Powers The Peninsula is reporting on calls by the Italian Prime Minister to set up a new European Union-wide intelligence agency that would establish even greater broad powers for the already undemocratic European superstate government. We have the common currency and we must also have a common security and intelligence system. Europe must be united against terrorism, the premier said, according to Italian media reports. Though some EU officials deny any plans for such an agency, it has come to light that Viviane Reding, an EU Commissioner who attended Bilderberg in 2013 and 2014, announced plans for an EU spy agency in 2013 to be completed by 2020: Asked if the commission intends to put forward a proposal on turning a little known intelligence unit inside the EUs foreign affairs branch into an intelligence agency, commission spokesperson Natasha Bertuad said No. The commission instead wants to enhance data-sharing at the EU level by making sure its EU intelligence analysis centre (IntCen) works better with other EU agencies like Europol, the EUs joint police body. Integrated into the EUs foreign policy branch, the External Action Service (EEAS), IntCen is meant to provide a situational picture of crisis moments like last weeks Charlie Hebdo shooting. Moreover, the so-called Five Eyes comprised of the intelligence networks in the United States, Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, are set to meet in London to discuss broader terrorism fighting strategy: And, of course, London is calling for more spy power, via MI5 chief Andrew Parker: Speaking at MI5 headquarters late on Thursday, he warned against an atmosphere in which privacy was so absolute and sacrosanct that terrorists and others who mean us harm can confidently operate from behind those walls without fear of detection. If we are to do our job, MI5 will continue to need to be able to penetrate their communications as we have always done, he said. That means having the right tools, legal powers and the assistance of companies which hold relevant data. Touch, Mr. Snowden. It would seem that with the Jihadist assault on Paris against a satirical newspaper, no less the War on Terror is back on and, this time, it will help to build up the secrecy and power of the EU superstate. Never underestimate the power of satire and weaponized irony in a time of war. Recall that Americas Department of Homeland Security was brought to power after 9/11, and enjoyed a Fog of War atmosphere that provided little criticism in official circles and nearly unlimited funding to grant it expansive umbrella powers over nearly every federal agency in the nation and even sway over state and local law enforcement activities as well. The same auspicious power grab now stands to be repeated, catching the European population unaware during a time of fear. Make no mistake, terrorism as we know it is a tool. Despite its unfixed image, it is used towards very practical and definite ends. Stay vigilant on that, how about? The European Union itself came to be through stealth, during a long, gradual climb out of the shadows. The role of the secretive Bilderberg in transforming a humble European Coal and Steel Community agreement, dating to 1951, into continent wide union (transcending individual nations) remains largely unknown and under reported. However, the successful creation of a Europe with common borders, common tariffs, a common currency (a project which former Bilderberg chairman and EU commissioner Etienne Davignon bragged about hatching) and, afterwards, common laws, common financial regulations, a powerful council and a superstate Parliament is monumental. Ever greater integration into the European Union, including the adoption of new members from the Eastern bloc and beyond, is part of the ambition, too, and a continent wide intelligence agency would clearly be a noteworthy achievement for a system bent towards total power on a global scale. It was Bilderbergs own EU Commissioner Viviane Reding who took Eric Holder to task in the summer of 2013 with a strongly-worded letter (and a public meeting) criticizing the abuses by U.S. spy agencies against Europeans and their data. While Reding was publicly standing her ground against the politicians she is ultimately accountable to, the behind-the-scenes political and diplomatic exercise was of mostly talk but little action. In reality? Reding wasnt fighting for privacy-loving Europeans. She was actually aiming to bring an EU intelligence agency to power as a counterweight to the NSAs invasive practices. In November 2013, she stated: Wow. The obvious justification for keeping and expanding spying powers in a post-Snowden world, is enough to make anyone look twice at the whole Hebdo affair. And if you dont think this was all a staged theater production, please consider the propaganda effort that went into creating this photo op with world leaders, joined hand-in-hand in solidarity against the attacks.

3	Oregon Bill to Require Warrants for Cellphone Data Passes Senate CommitteeMike Maharrey Sen. Chip Shields (D-Portland), Rep. Jennifer Williamson (D-Portland), Sen. Tim Knopp (R Bend) and Rep. John Huffman (R-The Dalles) introduced Senate Bill 641 (SB641) in February. The legislation prohibits state and local law enforcement officers from searching portable electronic devices without a warrant except int he case of an imminent threat to public safety. Even if police lawfully arrests a suspect, they must still get a warrant to access information on that persons portable electronic devices. SB641 stipulates that any information obtained in violation of the law: (a) Is not admissible in and may not be disclosed in a judicial proceeding, administrative proceeding, arbitration proceeding or other adjudicatory proceeding; and (b) May not be used to establish reasonable suspicion or probable cause to believe that an offense has been committed. SB641 passed the Senate Committee on Judiciary 5-0 last Friday. It will now move on to the full Senate for further consideration. IMPACT ON FEDERAL PROGRAMS SB641 would not only limit the actions of state and local law enforcement in Oregon, it would also end one practical effect of federal, warrantless spying. By making any information obtained in violation of the law inadmissible in court, it would stop state and local law enforcement from using such information shared with them by federal agencies like the NSA. Reuters revealed the extent of NSA data sharing with state and local law enforcement in an August 2013 article. According to documents obtained by the news agency, the NSA passes information to police through a formerly secret DEA unit known Special Operations Divisions (SOD). The report revealed the cases rarely involve national security issues. Almost all of the information sharing involves regular criminal investigations. According to the documents obtained by Reuters, after the SOD passes data along to state or local law enforcement, it then works with them to create an investigation, working backward to obscure the origin of the information in a process known as parallel construction. In other words, not only does the NSA collect and store bulk data and information collected without a warrant, the spy agency encourages state and local law enforcement to violate the Fourth Amendment by making use of this information in day-to-day investigations. Former NSA Chief Technical Director William Binney called this process countrys greatest threat since the Civil War. SB641 would make information and obtained by third parties like the NSA in violation of state law inadmissible in court, ending parallel construction.

1	Terminally ill 5-year-old Timmy McWinn, formerly of Medford, MA, had one wish before his tragic death last week: to be visited one last time by Bruiser, the McWinn familys loyal and devoted English Sheepdog. Bruiser was McWinns companion and best friend during the better part of his short life. Bruiser, seen here two weeks before being accidentally abandoned in Canada by the McWinns, trekked 3,500 miles to see young Timmy (inset), but arrived too late, finding the boy in his final death throes. Unfortunately, the lumbering, lovable canine did not arrive in time to cheer up Timmy, and instead of making his last moments on Earth more bearable, he merely added to the uncontrollable agony and horror the boy felt during his final death throes. Bruiser was Timmys best pal and play friend, Timmys father, James McWinn said. He provided him with his only real moments of joy. So when we accidentally left the dog behind after a family trip to Canada, Timmy was understandably heartbroken. McWinns condition worsened after returning from Canada, victimized by a degenerative brain disease which slowly ate away at his mind. Doctors could find no cure, leaving Jimmy with one dream and one dream only: that one day, before he left this earth, he would once again hold Bruiser in his tiny arms. Despite flyers, mailings, inquiries with Canadian mounted police and a posted reward, the McWinns efforts to locate Bruiser roundly failed. No word of the sheepdogs whereabouts came to the anxious family. Wed given up hope, McWinn said. Until one day, well, I guess what youd have to call a miracle occurred. According to McWinn, sketchy reports began to trickle in that a dog matching Bruisers description had been spotted making its way across the country to where the dying Timmy lay. Bruiser, driven only by his love, was making his way across a continent, just to be with his pal Timmy again. The McWinns, as well as the hospital staff and a crowd of well-wishing onlookers, were overjoyed when a weathered, weary Bruiser arrived in the parking lot of Childrens Hospital. Eagerly, the group rushed Bruiser to be at Timmys side, but it was too late. Timmy was still alive, but his higher brain functions had deteriorated to the point where he could not recognize the dog, said Dr. Dan Pangloss, McWinns physician. When he saw the large dogs slavering jaws, he felt only one thingstark, heart-stopping terror. Timmy began screaming what onlookers originally mistook for cries of joy. Only after several minutes could they make out the childs actual words. He was yelling, Get it off me! Get it off me! Make giant monster go away! nurse Ellen Bram said. I tried to push the dog closer to Timmys failing eyes so he could make out the dogs face, but he only screamed louder, calling on mommy to save him from the hungry, hairy demon. Ill never forget how his little voice trilled into a macabre falsetto of sheer, unbridled agony. Timmys eyes rolled up into his head, and his diminutive body was racked by a series of painful convulsions. Within moments, and well before the dog could be removed, he was dead. Its safe to say his death could not have been more horrific, a hospital spokeswoman said. Bruiser was immediately shot, and the dogs corpse beheaded for laboratory testing. 
1	TOKYO, HONG KONG, SEOULAsian stocks closed one of the worst and most mournfully reflective months on record last week, with the falling American dollar negatively impacting trade volume and causing the markets to drift, like the faded cherry petals of spring blossoms, downward towards the shadowed sea of burgeoning recession, Eastern market analysts warned Monday. Currency devaluation reflects silently on still and glassy water. 'Our worst monthly drop; rate cuts make investors fleeto commodities,' Nikkei Index vice commissioner Fukako Mishima said, claiming job creation by Mitsubishi, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and Sony failed to provide confidence in a market already as skittish as the aging husband of a teenage bride, forcing investors to shore up cash reserves with orders of durable goods and agricultural products. 'Fading dollar's gleam, a feeble warning beacon: Seek bellies of pork.' Hong Kong reported similar woes. Analysts there said the slow chrysanthemum's bloom of gains from foreign investment had entered a season of cold mists that sent tendrils creeping, creeping among the reeds, stagnant equity, and low-hooting owls from which nothing but fever, longing, and gradually downgraded credit ratings were expected to result. By the end of trading Monday, the Hong Kong dollar was trading at .13 USD, close to a record low, and currency brokers were exchanging subtle barbs and veiled insults as do former lovers. Volume was only moderate in both cases. 'Our speculation economy was spring wine to those who believed the Middle Kingdom could support an emerging middle class, and that while American and European currency stimulated growth, all would prosper,' said Jin Fusen, an executive investment director for ING at the Hong Kong bourse. 'But it seems that we were attempting to ascend to the Monkey King's Heaven by treading upon a bridge cunningly crafted of obedient birds; and lo! In our haste, one foot falls too heavily; now through a clouded sky, roiled with feathers and harsh cries of alarm, we plummet.' Portents of great woe appeared in the Hong Kong stock exchange last week. In addition, durable-goods inventories gathered dust in Asian warehouses while salesmen sought buyers, and buyers sought more favorable credit, and all concerned adopted the aspect of a light-thirsting silk moth wavering between the cold celestial glory of a waxing moon and the sudden treacherous heat of the lantern's flame. 'At sun's crimson dawning, storm grumbles, mounting, ripples of the sky and sea reflected in late trading,' said Lee Woo-hyun, a strategist at Kyobo Securities in Seoul who had warned bankers in 2004 that the American real estate bubble was as artificially inflated and volatile as a gaily painted pig's bladder played with by dust-covered street urchins. 'Now the rain comes, from trees striking leaf and blossom both, uncaring. Not to mention gold will soon crest $950 U.S. an ounce as I grow old without grandsons.' Still, some traders refuse to be affected by the gloom that hovers over the Eastern markets like mulberry smoke over an autumn hearth, maintaining that dramatic market corrections in an era of increasing globalization are only to be expected. 'Panic's first impulse: Fear freezes traders solid, whispers of rate cuts. Quick fix attempted, the currency devaluedinstability!' Morningstar Japan's Hideyuki Suzuki intoned. 'But putting our trust in rate cuts won't work in the long term, and blind faith in the overprotective vertical structure of the zaibatsu system is simply wrong. 'The plain fact is, we have to break the rigid pattern of 5 percent market drop, 7 point rate cut, 5 percent market rise, which has become almost an Asian stereotype, and start looking elsewhere for inspiration.' 'What Asian businessmen are being forced to realize is that we have to adopt a more global, perhaps even a more Western, way of thinking,' Suzuki added. 'Two financial roads are about to diverge, and we must take the one less traveled by. When the books close on fiscal 2008, it may make all the difference.' 
1	In Philadelphia, in which a Man, being himself some 28 yrs. of Age and a Quaker held in good Stead in that pious Communitie, was taken Aback, and did Swoone with Horror, and was given cause to Gasp and exclaim Alack; at the sight of a CHAIR, upon which both lavish Ornamentation and a coat of Shellack had been applied, so that to the devout eye of worthie Gentle-Man did it give the Appearance of a very Furniture of HARLOTRY. 'That any one should carve a Seat Back with such sinuous Whorls and Flourishes, or should apply such ornate Curvature to the very Runggs of any Chair, is to affirm one's place in Hell itself,' said the Quaker, who did take himslef an Axxe, and threaten to reduce the offending Seat to Flinders, was it not given immediate Unction by its cabinet-maker, an' that man be Pilloried besides. 'And I hesitate to give Speculation, as to what manner of Daemon or Devil, could so Possess any goode and decent Trades-man to apply curved Runners beneath a chair, so as to make it tip both 'to' and 'fro' in a very Rocking motion, this being strictly warned against by our Church.' The man was administered a stiff Draught, and led away by benevolent Passers-By; he was given to trembling; although whether in Observance of his worthie Faith, or in Fear for his SOUL at the sight of the offending Furnishing, is not known. 
1	According to mall personnel, a roving gang of 15-year-old rebels captured a corner table at the Woodland Mall food court Sunday in a forceful act of nonconformity that displaced families and caused concern among business owners. Some believe the intimidating teenagers may belong to the same band of dissidents that has been gaining power in the shopping center's upper level since last Thursday's devastating verbal attack on a Lane Bryant beachwear display. Although the rebels have voiced opposition to all forms of authority and vowed to defend their position at any cost, an incoming strike by an extreme faction of 12th-grade jocks eventually forced them to retreat into a nearby Lids. 
2	UCONN Starts Black Only Living Space [VIDEO] Recently a controversial decision by the University of Connecticut is sparking a heated debate about segregation. The question on the table is: is it okay for a school to launch a program only for black males? The schools main campus in Storrs recently launched a program to combat low graduation rates for black males. 40 black male undergraduates will live together in on-campus housing, in an effort to let the men draw on their common experiences and encourage each other to make it to graduation. Critics, of course, are not enamored with the idea of black-only housing. Forget about this nonsense and just treat students without regard to skin color, President and General Counsel of the Center for Equal Opportunity Roger Clegg told reporters. If there are students of color who are at risk or who could use some access to special programs, thats fine, but schools shouldnt be using race as a proxy for whos at risk and whos going to have a hard time as a student. There are lots of African-American students who come from advantaged backgrounds, Clegg continued. And lots of non-African-American students who come from disadvantage backgrounds. The Scholastic House of Leaders who are African American Researchers and Scholars was initially proposed to be similar to other learning communities as the school that live as a group. If they wanted to go to an all-black institution, there are plenty of historically black colleges that still exist, Niger Innis, the national spokesperson for the Congress of Racial Equality, told reporters. But if they want to go to an institution that is racially diverse and integrated, then racial diversity and integration is part of it. To have a university-sanctioned segregation or separation is, to me, a bit troubling. What do you think? Would an all-white learning group ever be allowed on campus? Are you tired of these double standards? 
1	In a move calculated to reduce significantly the number of catastrophic midair explosions aboard U.S. airliners, the FAA announced Monday that longer fuses will be required for all commercial air carriers beginning in 1997. The move toward longer fuses began earlier this year when the older, shorter fuses on several commercial flights, including TWA's infamous Flight 800, burned all the way down to the fuselage and into the airplanes' detonators, causing them to explode in mid-air. 'This is a step in the right direction,' U.S. Secretary of Transportation Federico Pea said. 'No longer will passengers on long trips be sent into fits of panic as they watch their airplane's fuse sputtering inexorably shorter and shorter, sobbing hysterically in the fear that they may not reach the ground before being engulfed in a fireball thousands of feet in the air.' Pea added that to help make flights more enjoyable for passengers, the new fuses would not be visible to anyone but the flight crew. Reaction to the new safety legislation has been largely positive. 'I look forward to flying the new, longer-fused aircraft,' Delta Airlines pilot Edwin Jenkins said. 'Some of my colleagues will no doubt disagree, but a fuse of merely 20 or 25 feet is cutting it mighty close when you fly from Chicago-O'Hare to Tokyo International three times a week. It's probably a major reason one out of every three planes on that route explodes.' A United Airlines ground crew at New York's LaGuardia Airport is shown here lighting a 747 in preparation for takeoff. The plane exploded minutes later. 'Maybe if TWA Flight 800 had a longer fuse,' said Erie, PA, resident Danielle Long, who lost a friend in that crash, 'those people would be alive today.' TWA officials insist the doomed plane's fuse was 21 feet long, five feet longer than the FAA minimum. Those who oppose the longer fuses claim it is just the latest in a series of moves by the FAA to take control out of human hands. 'I flew Mustang fighters in World War II,' said Elroy Bruss, 78, a retired United Airlines pilot. 'In those days, the fuses were eight inches long, and we used to cut 'em in half before we took off so they didn't get blown out by the wind. Now some of the 747s have fuses 20 times that long. Men aren't allowed to be men anymore.' Though there has been some argument over whether a modern airliner should be equipped with a fuse at all, Pea is hesitant to legislate such radical change. 'When you look at a modern jumbo jet that has been serviced, fueled and readied for takeoff, it weighs three-quarters of a million pounds. Roughly two-thirds of that weight is highly explosive aviation fuel, making the aircraft basically an enormous flying bomb. To build a bomb that large without a fuse would be bad design.'

This was part of a continued opposition to Republicans offering their thoughts and prayers to the victims and families instead of furthering gun control legislation that they believe ill help address the problem of mass shootings. 
2	BREAKING: Al Sharpton Just Got Hit With Horrible News, Looking At Time Behind Bars 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 on New Years Day. Still, Sharpton doesnt seem too worried. Were talking about old taxes, he commented. I think its political. Apparently, Sharpton doesnt understand that breaking tax law is illegal, not political. 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 lawwhich is very probable. We know how little our president respects the law or enforcement of them. What do you think? Is it time Al Sharpton was punished for his crimes? 
3	Obama Says You Have No Right to Banking PrivacyThe Obama administration is drawing up plans to give all U.S. spy agencies full access to a massive database that contains financial data on American citizens Reuters. Big banks get away with massive fraud, laundering money for drug cartels and terrorist organizations, while average citizens are guilty of financial crimes until proven innocent. The land of the free no longer. Yesterday the White House released plans that would give all U.S. spy agencies access to the financial records of all American citizens in order to better track down terrorist threats, which administration legal experts say is permissible under U.S. law. What happened to The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated? Thats the Fourth Amendment in the Bill of Rights in case Obamas legal team needed a reminder of actual U.S. law. Reuters reports: The Obama administration is drawing up plans to give all U.S. spy agencies full access to a massive database that contains financial data on American citizens and others who bank in the country, according to a Treasury Department document seen by Reuters. The proposed plan represents a major step by U.S. intelligence agencies to spot and track down terrorist networks and crime syndicates by bringing together financial databanks, criminal records and military intelligence. The plan, which legal experts say is permissible under U.S. law, is nonetheless likely to trigger intense criticism from privacy advocates. Financial institutions that operate in the United States are required by law to file reports of suspicious customer activity, such as large money transfers or unusually structured bank accounts, to Treasurys Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Reuters readily admits that the FBI already has access to the financial records of Americans but the NSA and other intelligence agencies feel disadvantaged as they have to apply on a case-by case basis to view private banking records. For these reports to be of value in detecting money laundering, they must be accessible to law enforcement, counter-terrorism agencies, financial regulators, and the intelligence community, said the Treasury document given to Reuters. So this new plan is to essentially make the FBI share the data they have with other agencies. Theres been no change in regards to the U.S. government being able to track, trace, and database all of your financial movements because they can already legally do that. Thats why Obamas lawyers say its permissible under U.S. law. One of the real pushes from the civil liberties community has been to move away from collection restrictions on the front end and put more limits on what the government can do once it has the information, he said. In essence, law professors say its settled law that youre guilty until proven innocent in America. Every spy agency in the country can now have access to your credit card invoices, mortgage payments, account numbers, and bank transactions whether you are suspected of committing a crime or not. And if you are suspected of committing a crime, youll be punished without due process like a terrorist because that is the justification for trolling for your suspicious behavior in the first place. Meanwhile, your tax dollars are being used to bail out the real financial criminals who defraud you, the government, and the public everyday. How does it feel to be a slave?

1	Alessandra Coletti, the 22-year-old mezzo-soprano sensation, has stunned opera-loving octogenarians around the globe with her astonishing range, power, and upper-register control. Touted as the greatest female opera singer of her generation, the Milan-born, New York-bred Coletti is completely unknown among members of her generation. Alessandra Coletti. 'Alessandra who?' said Amy Sharper, 23, a self-described 'total music freak' from Reston, VA. 'I think maybe that's the bassist for Nashville Pussy. I'm really not sure, though.' 'A singer of this stature comes along once in a lifetime,' said Thomas Sagal, 71, editor of Opera Digest, which boasts a circulation of nearly 38,000 elderly readers. 'Her recent performance as the princess in Dorgomizhsky's The Mermaid at the Leningrad Opera was electrifying. It must be thrilling for young people to know that one of their peers is such a prodigious talent.' During a recent performance of Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana at the Lyric Opera in Chicago, Coletti played to a capacity crowd of 4,600 old people. Of the 23 teenagers in attendance, 22 were ushers and one was dragged to the performance as punishment. 'My mom said if she ever caught me drinking again, she'd force me to go to an opera with her,' said Courtney Weis, 15, who was not enthralled by Coletti's stirring vibrato and formidable coloratura agility. 'Holy shit. Let's just say I'm never touching Jack Daniel's again.' Raised by symphony violinists Celeste and Antonio Coletti, young Alessandra grew up surrounded by opera and classical music. 'My earliest memories are listening to Enrico Caruso 78s on my parents' Victrola,' Coletti said. 'When I was seven, they took me to see Renata Babek in La Gioconda. What a thrill that was. I remember asking my mother why there were no other children in the audience. She told me they were all across town at Carnegie Hall watching Tchaikovsky's Queen Of Spades.' In 1997, after two years of study at the Rimsky-Korsakov conservatory in St. Petersburg, Coletti returned to the U.S. At the tender age of 18, she made her Metropolitan Opera debut as Inez in L'Africaine. Dazzling even the most jaded audience member with a bravura performance, Coletti received a five-minute standing ovation from people more than four times her age. In attempting to describe Coletti's astonishing gifts, fans often invoke the legends of opera, from Emma Eames to Denyce Gravesnames that would draw blank stares from anyone under 50. 'Of the great female opera singers of today, few are comparable to Coletti,' said near-death Chicago Tribune opera critic Arthur Sachs. 'If she continues to progress at her current rate, I might one day even put her in the class of a Maria Callas.' Widely considered the finest operatic voice of the 20th century, Callas is unknown among 18- to 24-year-olds, ranking behind rubber-faced '70s funnyman Charlie Callas in celebrity-Callas name recognition. One of Coletti's few fans not born in the first half of the last century is Andrew Shermer, president of the Twentysomething Opera Appreciation Society (TOAS). 'I formed TOAS after seeing Alessandra Coletti's Violetta in La Traviata,' said Shermer, 24. 'I'd seen opera before and enjoyed it, but seeing her at the Met that night blew my mind. It inspired me to start up a web site, toas.com, to reach other people my age with interest in the opera.' Thus far, TOAS has attracted only five members. And while www.toas.com receives an average of 10,000 hits a week, an analysis of its traffic indicates that 99.999 percent of those are from people who misspelled 'Taos,' a popular New Mexico ski destination. 
3	Utah and Colorado to Pay Federal Government to Reopen Parks During ShutdownMelissa Melton Utah has agreed to pay the federal government $1.7 million to open up eight national parks during the government shutdown, and Colorado will pony up $362,700 to open Rocky Mountain National Park. But Arizona officials said the Obama administration is still dragging their feet in reaching an agreement over the Grand Canyon. After being battered for its decision-making during the shutdown, the park service is trying to regain its footing, including opening up monuments in Washington and Philadelphia to First Amendment activities, which in essence makes them open to anyone who knows the policy. (source) The U.S. National Parks Services has a budget of $2.86 billion which seems rather trivial in comparison to the fact that the U.S. government spent $3.54 trillion in 2012 alone and has raked up a total national debt of nearly $17 trillion overall. Even if every single last park in the country was closed tomorrow forever, it would do little to solve any actual problems this nation faces. In fact, just the first week of the government being shutdown actually cost taxpayers an average of $12.5 million an hour. Melissa Melton is a writer, researcher, and analyst for The Daily Sheeple and a co-creator of Truthstream Media. Wake the flock up! 
2	Police Bulldoze Black Lives Matters Protest Camp Weve seen a rise in out of control protests in this country, thanks in large part to Obamas encouragement of the Ferguson protesters following the death of Michael Brown. Now, Minneapolis police are taking action. They reportedly just made eight arrests while clearing a protest site that has congregating near a North Minneapolis police station for 18 days. Protesters were given a 10 minute warning to take down their tents and put out fires they had started in the streets. When they refused to move, they were approached by officers wearing riot gear. Seven people were arrested on charges of obstruction of justice, and another was arrested with trespassing charges. No one was injured in the confrontation. The action was decided on after a lot of planning between many different agencies, who were concerned about the safety of officers as well as protesters. The police department has spent nearly $750,000 on overtime through Wednesday of last week dealing with the protest. It was very strategic with those things in mind, Police Chief Janee Harteau told reporters. Again, public safety is our No. 1 priority. Mayor Betsy Hodges agrees that the move was needed.

2	Muslim Judge Sworn In On A Quran [VIDEO] According to recent reports, a municipal ceremony has sparked outrage after a New York Civil Court judge was just sworn in using a Koran. Carolyn Walker-Diallo reportedly took her oath of office using the Islamic text as a testament to her Muslim faith. Although there was no controversy at the event itself, chaos ensued when attendees posted the video online to their social media accounts. Is this America or the Middle East? one Facebook user commented. This is not the first time that Walker-Diallo has been upfront about her faith. She has made several references to Islam on her personal campaign page. All is praise (sic) is indeed due to the Most High! she said in a post that was designed to thank her followers. I am humbled that my community has entrusted me with the immense responsibility of ensuring that EVERYONE has notice and a FAIR opportunity to be heard in the halls of justice. Fellow leaders have been critical of Walker-Diallo for her controversial decision and the hypocrisy it implies. The Koran forbids allegiance to non-Muslim authority, so isnt this Muslims vow worthless? Pamela Geller asked the American public. How can she serve two masters at once? In Islam, Sharia supersedes all man-made laws. It is the law of AllahThe Koran dictates Islam is in a perpetual war against all infidels until a Sharia-dominant world is established. Which master will she serve in this conflict? What do you think of Gellers comments? Do you agree? 
3	Hands Off Snowden CampaignStephen Lendman Doing so exposes fascist state governance. People need to know. Americas by far the worst. selfnewss want Snowden helped. More on that below. He released a statement, saying: One week ago I left Hong Kong after it became clear that my freedom and safety were under threat for revealing the truth. My continued liberty has been owed to the efforts of friends new and old, family, and others who I have never met and probably never will. I trusted them with my life and they returned that trust with a faith in me for which I will always be thankful. On Thursday, President Obama declared before the world that he would not permit any diplomatic wheeling and dealing over my case. Yet now it is being reported that after promising not to do so, the President ordered his Vice President to pressure the leaders of nations from which I have requested protection to deny my asylum petitions. This kind of deception from a world leader is not justice, and neither is the extralegal penalty of exile. These are the old, bad tools of political aggression. Their purpose is to frighten, not me, but those who would come after me. For decades the United States of America has been one of the strongest defenders of the human right to seek asylum. Sadly, this right, laid out and voted for by the U.S. in Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is now being rejected by the current government of my country. The Obama administration has now adopted the strategy of using citizenship as a weapon. Although I am convicted of nothing, it has unilaterally revoked my passport, leaving me a stateless person. Without any judicial order, the administration now seeks to stop me exercising a basic right. A right that belongs to everybody. The right to seek asylum. In the end the Obama administration is not afraid of whistleblowers like me, Bradley Manning or Thomas Drake. We are stateless, imprisoned, or powerless. No, the Obama administration is afraid of you. It is afraid of an informed, angry public demanding the constitutional government it was promised and it should be. I am unbowed in my convictions and impressed at the efforts taken by so many. Edward Joseph Snowden Separately he said: I remain free and able to publish information that serves the public interest. No matter how many more days my life contains, I remain dedicated to the fight for justice in this unequal world. While the public has cried out support of my shining a light on this secret system of injustice, the Government of the United States of America responded with an extrajudicial man-hunt costing me my family, my freedom to travel, and my right to live peacefully without fear of illegal aggression. Perhaps Obamas intimidation campaign worked. Ecuadors Rafael Correa backtracked. He did so disgracefully. He considers helping Snowden a mistake. He distanced himself from earlier comments. Hes not considering asylum. Are we responsible for getting him to Ecuador, he asked? Its not logical. The country that has to give him a safe conduct document is Russia. Mr. Snowdens situation is very complicated, but in this moment he is in Russian territory and these are decisions for the Russian authorities. Initially Correa suggested support, saying: We will analyze very responsibly the Snowden case and with absolute sovereignty will make the decision we consider the most appropriate. Ecuadors Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino criticized Washington, saying: The one who is denounced pursues the denouncer. The man who tries to provide light and transparency to issues that affect everyone is pursued by those who should be giving explanations about the denunciations that have been presented. Snowden expressed gratitude, saying: I must express my deep respect for your principles and sincere thanks for your governments action in considering my request for political asylum. There are few world leaders who would risk standing for the human rights of an individual against the most powerful government on earth, and the bravery of Ecuador and its people is an example to the world. A temporary Ecuadorean travel document helped him. It substituted for his revoked US passport. The decisive action of your consul in London, Fidel Narvaez, guaranteed my rights would be protected upon departing Hong Kong. I could never have risked travel without that. Now, as a result, and through the continued support of your government, I remain free and able to publish information that serves the public interest. Correa fell on his sword. He did so for Washington. He betrayed his alleged principles. Perhaps he lacked sincerity in the first place. Bending to America is shameless. Challenging it matters most. Snowden remains unbowed. Few match his courage. He shames world leaders. He dares take on America courageously. selfnewss support him. He applied to at least 21 countries for asylum. They include Ecuador (now denied), Iceland, Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, Brazil, Nicaragua, Russia (now retracted), China, India, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Finland, and Switzerland. Nine countries rejected him. They include Ecuador, Brazil, India, Poland, Italy, Spain, Norway, Finland, and Austria. Rejections reflected pro-Western subservience. Excuses are easy to make. Profiles in courage require tough-minded support whats right. Hes in limbo. Hes a man without a country. Hes in Moscows Sheremetyevo Airports transit area. He awaits word from one or more nations willing to accept him. Maybe Venezuela will. On June 27, President Nicolas Maduro said: No one has requested us asylum for him, but if he wants, Venezuela is willing to protect this brave young man in a humanitarian way, so that humanity knows the truth. On July 1, the International Business Times headlined Maduro Offers Asylum to Ed Snowden During Official Visit to Russia; Is The NSA Leaker Going to Venezuela? Maduros in Moscow. Hes attending the second Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF). He said: Nobody has asked us yet for asylum. (B)ut if he did, we would consider it very seriously. He deserves a humanitarian medal. If this young man is punished, nobody in the world will ever dare to tell the truth. Snowden is a man who told the truth and demands protection under international human rights law, he added. Bolivias Evo Morales said hes ready to give political asylum to people who expose spying activities.If we receive a request, we are willing to consider it. On July 2, RIA Novosti said Snowden withdrew his Russian asylum request. He did so in response to Vladimir Putins conditions. On Monday he said: If (Snowden) wants to go (to another country) and is accepted, he can. If he wants to stay here, there is one condition: He must stop his work aimed at harming our US partners, no matter how strange this may sound coming from me. According to The Hill, high level US/Russian discussions involve find(ing) a solution over the extradition of Snowden. Whats ongoing isnt clear. Earlier Putin said: Russia has never extradited anyone and is not going to do so. Same as no one has ever been extradited to Russia. Hopefully he means it. Challenging America matters. So does protecting Snowden. selfnewss are on board to help. RootsAction.orgs petition campaign headlined Mr. President, Hands Off Edward Snowden! I urge you in the strongest terms to do nothing to interfere with the travels or political asylum process of Edward Snowden. The US government must not engage in abduction or any other form of foul play against Mr. Snowden. Doing the right thing is its own reward. RootsAction urges Snowden supporters to sign its petition in his behalf. Its goal is 50,000 signatures. It has nearly 47,000. Its almost there. It wont stop. Perhaps 100,000 or more is possible. Millions are needed. Signing shows support. Were all Edward Snowden. A separate petition demanding Obama pardon Snowden has over 120,000 signatures. Washington seeks unchallenged world dominance. Its waging global wars for it. Its ravaging one country after another. It ruthlessly persecutes opponents. It targets whistleblowers unconscionably. It wants truth-tellers silenced. It wants its message alone heard. It mocks democratic values. It spurns rule of law principles. It operates secretly and intrusively. It wants independent governments toppled. Its waging war on freedom. Its ravaging humanity globally. Stopping it matters most. Humanitys survival depends on it. Restoring constitutional protections is essential. Freedoms too precious to lose. Fundamental First Amendment rights matter. Without them all others are at risk. On July 1, the Electronic Frontier Foundation headlined Restore the Fourth Campaign Organizes Protests Against Unconstitutional Surveillance. On July 4, concerned Americans will mobilize on streets nationwide. Theyll do in support of Fourth Amendment rights. It protects against lawless searches and seizures. Out-of-control spying threatens them. Restore the Fourth matters. Americans are on their own. If they wont challenge US lawless, who will? If they wont mobilize for Fourth Amendment protections, no one will do it for them. On July 4 and every day, get involved for freedom. Sign the Stop Watching Us petition. It states in part: NSA spying represent(s) a stunning abuse of our basic rights. We demand the U.S. Congress reveal the full extent of the NSAs spying programs.

We are calling on Congress to take immediate action to halt this surveillance and provide a full public accounting of the NSAs and the FBIs data collection programs. We call on Congress to immediately and publicly: 1. Enact reform this Congress to Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act, the state secrets privilege, and the FISA Amendments Act to make clear that blanket surveillance of the Internet activity and phone records of any person residing in the US is prohibited by law and that violations can be reviewed in adversarial proceedings before a public court. 2. Create a special committee to investigate, report, and reveal to the public the extent of this domestic spying. This committee should create specific recommendations for legal and regulatory reform to end unconstitutional surveillance. 3. Hold accountable those public officials who are found to be responsible for this unconstitutional surveillance. Nothing less is acceptable! Not now! Not ever! A new update shows over 500,000 people signed the Stop Watching Us campaign. Perhaps over a million will. A Final Comment July 4 protests are scheduled in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Washington, DC, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont (July 3), Virginia (July 1), and Washington (on July 6). Major city protests include New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Diego, San Francisco, Washington, Hartford, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Indianapolis, Boston, Louisville, Minneapolis, Kansas City, St. Louis, Albuquerque, Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Charlotte, Raleigh, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Portland, OR, Philadelphia, and Chattanooga. Hopefully millions will mobilize across America. And not just on July 4. It bears repeating. If ordinary people wont fight for their rights, no one will do it for them! Precious ones are too important to lose. Restoring them matters most. People power alone can do it. Doing so makes government of, by and for everyone possible. The alternatives too grim to accept.

2	Mans Awesome Revenge On Obnoxious Teens For Loud Parties Is Going VIRAL A man who lived right next to a fraternity house decided that the noise level that was routinely created by the frat boys was too high. He therefore decided to take matters into his own hands, and give the loud frat boys who were keeping his family awake a taste of their own medicine. He accomplishes this all with the things he has in his garage. Revving his Harley, blasting an boat horn, an industrial vacuum cleaner and a radial arm saw, the man created a symphony of loudness, giving the frat boys a taste of their own medicine, all night long. The man had previously been to city hall in order to complain about his inconsiderate neighbors noise level. But he had not gotten the change he wanted. He was told that the fraternity house could be loud up to a certain decibel level for the entire night. So he decided to get revenge. Someone finally called the cops, and when they came, the angry neighbor said: If I get a ticket, therell be 100 dead college kids by breakfast. Make sure your volume is way down when you play the video, because youre in for an earful. I tip my cap to this man! 
2	Liberal Church Caught Worshipping Obama As Their God [VIDEO] As if President Barack Obamas ego wasnt already big enough, liberals have started literally worshiping him as if he was a God. In a new video that is going viral, one group is seen replacing Hear Us O Lord with Deliver Us Obama and Hear Us Obama. As one user comments: We need God to deliver us from Obama. What do you think? Is this absolutely disgusting? 
3	MSM: How the Top News Story Never Happened and the Real Top Story Was Never ReportedRand Clifford News consumers apparently believe: There has to be some kind of law. Especially about, like, TV news. You cant just tell big fat whopping lies to kind of like control people, or something. You know, there must be a law. What about the Constitution? News is a product concocted not to inform, but conform. News is perception management lorded over by a few monster corporations, in conjunction with the Federal Government, Inc. Fox News is a leader in nano credibility, but their record is not clean. They actually broadcast some dirty truth back in 2001, day after Christmas. The headline on their website offered, Report: Bin Laden Already Dead. Fox references a source who said, after claiming to have seen bin Ladens face before burial, He looked palebut calm, relaxed and confident. Other sources essentially said, in a variety of other ways, that bin Laden looked dead. Indeed, in his final months, closing out 2001, he looked increasingly like a patient requiring frequent dialysis; medical professionals refer to it as looking frosted. But, lo, News tells us he pulled out of it, regaining robust health and even reversing the aging process for ten years, only to have his fate sealed by a team of Navy SEALs. Who could forget the rapture, shock and awethe total engagement of the president and members of his cabinet as they watched a live video feed of the killing of bin Laden? Hillary Clinton was so engaged her hand got stuck to her mouth. Whoops. The White House was forced to admit there was no live video feed. So what were they watching in that situation room, American Idol? Ultimately, most every aspect of their We got bin Laden! production has been repeatedly altered, re-altered, washed, hung out to dry. The infamous death photos were washed and buried, too phony even for the spin cycle. Whatever was sealed by those Navy SEALs had nothing to do with bin Ladens fate. Considering the credibility of CorpoMedia News, it should not be ruled out that, when the political table is set just right, killing of bin Laden will be served up, again. Consider events that did occur in 2011. Fukushimaearthquake and tsunami triggering a spewing, ticking time bomb of radiation with immeasurable death potential. Spent fuel rod assemblies are so intensely radioactive that if you get close enough to see individual rods, and are not shielded, you are dead. Keeping spent fuel rods from catching fire and belching massive radiation plumes is costly; the severely-damaged reactor number 4 building contains nearly 2,000 of them in a pool teetering 100 feet high. Many thousands of them are stored at Fukushima in pools somewhat less precarious. Dry cask storage is safer. Problem is, safety tends to pinch profits. Protecting vast profits of the nuclear energy industry is more important than protecting the public from deadly radiation. When it does come to protecting the publicthe situation at Fukushima is so dire that, for their own good, the public must be protected from the truth. Melted reactor cores are another part of the megadeath lurking at Fukushima. But more radiation sweeping death across the entire Northern hemispherejust not as Newsworthy as the killing of someone already dead ten years. Thats the way the News goes. Occupy Wall Streetthe Occupy movement, another Top Story that CorpoMedia News creatures voted against as Number One. Lazy hippies, bad hygiene, troublemakers primed for violence, no work ethic, no leadership, no messagemove along, nothing to see here. Perhaps the most important aspect of News is how clearly it demonstrates what utter contempt American leaders have for American followers. News creatures obviously dont even care about propaganda they have employed in the past, its done and gone. Perception managers know that every day is a new (News) day. And they know that even if the Top News Story of 2012 is about how Obama rode the Top News Story of 2011 to victory in November (he spiked! bin Laden), the overwhelming reaction will likely be a big, hearty, Americanshrug.

3	Specter of Debtors Prisons Looms Over Americans Who Just Cant PayMac Slavo Thanks in part to the growing trend of private collection agencies including those who service fines and penalties assessed by government agencies the inability or failure to pay debts is resulting in arrest warrants, mounting costs and, yes, jail time. And things are only going to get worse: The ACLU highlighted the growing issue of Court-Sanctioned Extortion by Private Probation Companies. On Debtors Prisons: Across the country, in the face of mounting budget deficits, states are more aggressively going after poor people who have already served their criminal sentences and jailing them for failing to pay their legal debts. These modern-day debtors prisons impose devastating human costs, waste taxpayer money and resources, undermine our criminal justice system, are racially skewed, and create a two-tiered system of justice. This case started with traffic violations and trouble with serious medical expenses: PBS reported: Cities across the country are increasingly turning to what are known as private probation companies to collect unpaid fines. But are indigent people ending up in jail because they cant afford to pay? Since NewsHour Weekends first story on this issue aired last spring, the Childersburg Municipal Court issued a standing order stating that In no case shall an indigent defendant be incarcerated based solely on his or her inability to pay fines. But the practice continues elsewhere in the country. Special correspondent John Carlos Frey takes an in-depth look at what some are calling the return of the debtors prison. From the transcript: In 1971 The Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution prohibits imposing a jail term solely because the defendant is indigent and cannot forthwith pay the fine in full. 1,000 people every month are going to jail in Alabama because they cannot afford to pay a fine. [] TIM FUGATT: It was all at one time, just just hit us all at once. And I explained it all to them. But we you know, it was either pay or go to jail. JOHN CARLOS FREY: Being threatened with a jail sentence, did that help you to come up with the money? TIM FUGATT: It helped to try a little harder. But, you know, still. I mean, as the old saying goes, you know, you cant squeeze blood from a turnip. JOHN CARLOS FREY: Over the next 8 months with JCS monthly fees adding up, the couple missed at least one court date each and were fined additional fees for failure to appear. Then a warrant for their arrest was issued. By the time of their arrest in February of 2012, the Fugatts had racked up $2,500 in additional court fines. Remember all this began with three traffic violations for which they were found not guilty.

1	Saying that they held off taking such a drastic step for as long as they could, officials from the New York Giants confirmed Wednesday that the team had made the difficult decision to move head coach Tom Coughlin into an assisted-coaching facility. We know Tom likes his independence, but ultimately we had no choiceat least this way he wont have to completely stop what he loves doing while still getting the proper supervision and attention he needs, said offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo, adding that he was hopeful the 69-year-old Coughlin would grow to appreciate the centers many amenities, including trained staff on-site 24 hours per day ready to help residents read playbooks, review game film, and manage the clock during the fourth quarter. We all knew this day would eventually come, and even though he was definitely a little hesitant about it, we think its for the best. Honestly, its a huge relief knowing that there are caretakers always around just in case, God forbid, something awful happens when Tom is trying to call some plays in the middle of a game. Sources at the facility later confirmed that Giants quarterback Eli Manning has thus far been the only player to have visited Coughlin.

3	Statists Use Twisted Logic To Attack The Bill Of RightsBrandon Smith Statists are people who view every aspect of society through the lens of government power. If you want to know the primary difference between Constitutionalists and anti-Constitutionalists, you have to understand that some people in this world only want control over their own lives, while other people desperately clamor for control over other peoples lives. Why do they do this? Usually, its fear. Fear of the persistent unknowns in life. Fear that they do not have the intelligence or the will to take responsibility for their own futures. Fear that they will be forced to take care of themselves. Fear that their ideologies will be found lacking. Fear that if others are allowed freedom, they will one day indirectly suffer for it. This fear makes statists easy to manipulate by the establishment and easy to use as a tool for the expansion of government dominance. Because statists are so weak-minded and fainthearted, they become very comfortable with the idea of other people making their decisions for them; and they will always attempt to answer every perceived problem with more government control. When confronted with a proponent of liberty, the statist typically reels in horror. He has so invested himself in bureaucracy that he sees himself as a part of it. To attack the bureaucracy is to attack him. To deny the validity of the bureaucracy is to deny the validity of his existence. His very personality and ego are tied to the machine, so he will spit and rage against anyone who refuses to conform. This is why it is not uncommon at all to find a wild collection of logical fallacies within the tirades of the average statist. Statists act as though they are driven by reason; but in reality, they are driven by seething bias. Lets first be clear about the kind of rag we are dealing with. The Daily Beast was launched by Tina Brown, a former editor of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker who was also a British citizen until 2005. I would say shes a kind of female Piers Morgan. For anyone who might take that as a compliment, trust me; it isnt. Brown and Morgan are European collectivists who immigrated to America just to tell us how our Constitutionally conservative heritage of independence is outdated; meanwhile, the EU is in the shambles of failed socialism. We used to drive such people into the ocean, and now they breathe our oxygen while telling us what is politically fashionable. In 2010, The Daily Beast merged with Newsweek, a magazine notorious for its statist crush on the Federal government (and now out of print). To say that The Daily Beast is a socialist platform and a mouthpiece for the Administration of President Barack Obama is an understatement, but I would point out that the website also tends to agree with politicians and judges on the right that also promote a living document interpretation of the Constitution. Whether right or left, if you believe that the Bill of Rights is up for constant interpretation and revision or outright destruction, then you are the bees knees in the eyes of The Beast. The article focuses on gun rights and how silly conservatives foolishly cling to the idea that some lines in the sand should never be crossed in terms of personal freedom. In a rather mediocre and rambling analysis, The Beast uses two primary arguments to qualify this stance, essentially asserting that: 1) Compromises have already been made to the Bill of Rights; therefore, nothing is sacred. 2) Even some Republicans agree with compromises to the Bill of Rights when it comes to other Amendments, so why are we being so childish about reinterpreting the 2ndAmendment? First, the revisionist methodology of the Bill of Rights consistently ignores the history of its writing. The colonists and Founding Fathers of our Nation, having successfully triumphed in a bloody revolution against what many then considered the most advanced elitist military empire on Earth, had absolutely no trust whatsoever in the concept of centralized government. Many of the colonials were anti-Federalists who believed that an overly powerful central government was a threat to future liberty. They felt that an immovable and unchangeable legal shield had to be created in order to ensure that a tyrannical system never prevailed again. Thomas Jefferson said: [A] bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse. This statement includes modern governments as well. Technological advancement does not change the rules surrounding timeless inherent moral principles, as much as statists would like to argue otherwise. The colonials demanded the inclusion of the Bill of Rights in the Constitution as a prerequisite for the establishment of the Federal government. This means that the Federal government owes its entire existence to a very strict agreement made on the Bill of Rights. By extension, if the Bill of Rights is politically diluted or denied, then the legitimacy of the Federal government must also be denied, for it has violated the very charter that gave it life. The writer of the article, Michael Tomasky, lists numerous transgressions against our Constitutional protections; but he does not do so in the spirit of activism. Rather, he lists them as examples of how compromise on our freedoms is necessary (or somehow inevitable) in the name of the collective good. He claims Republicans are perfectly willing to sacrifice certain liberties, like freedom of speech, privacy or even Miranda rights, in the name of political expediency. I wholeheartedly agree that our civil liberties have been whittled away by the establishment. I also agree that many so-called Republicans have betrayed the founding values of our culture and even voted to diminish or destroy the 2nd Amendment. But lets think hard about the faulty logic behind Tomanskys position. Do two wrongs or hundreds of wrongs really make a right? Tomansky is saying that because we have failed as a society to fully protect our freedoms and because our government has been successful in criminally neglecting them, we should simply give in and relinquish all freedom. He would respond to this accusation by claiming that he is not calling for the relinquishment of all liberties, only the liberties he thinks are dangerous to society. The problem is, that is not how the Constitution was designed. Amendments can be made, yes. But amendments contrary to the Bill of Rights are not Constitutional as per the original agreement made after the revolution. The Bill of Rights was meant to be sacrosanct, untouchable period. No Federal law, no State law and no Amendment can be enforced that violates those protections. The Bill of Rights was not created as a rule book for what the people can do; it was created as a rule book for what government cannot do. Once you remove hard fast restrictions like the Bill of Rights from the picture, you give the government license to make its own rules. That is how tyranny is born. As far as Republican attacks on the Constitution are concerned, Tomasky has obviously never heard of the false left/right paradigm. He finds solace in the totalitarian actions of neocons because neocons are not conservative; they are statists, just like him. Ultimately, there is no right or left. Only freedom and decentralization, or slavery and collectivism. There are those who revel in control, and those who rebel against control. The rest of the debate is nonsense and distraction. Tomsky opines: Imagine what conservatives would think of a group of liberals who insisted, while threatening an insurrection, on a pure and absolute interpretation of the Fourth or Sixth Amendmentand imagine how ridiculous they would look to average Americans. Actually, any true conservative would be standing right beside those liberals, as many of us in the liberty movement have done in the past in activism against the transgressions of fake conservatives like George W. Bush or Mitt Romney, with his dismal anti-Constitution voting record. Frankly, who cares what average Americans think about our battle for what is right? Does Tomasky base all of his personal convictions on what happens to be popular at the moment? I think so. What statists also dont seem to comprehend is that there is a factor in the fight over Constitutional law that goes far beyond the Constitution itself. The Constitution, as a document, is not what we as Americans and human beings obtain our rights from. The Constitution is only a written representation of the inborn freedoms derived from natural law and inherent conscience. We are born with a sense of liberty and that includes a right to self-defense from any enemy, foreign or domestic. No amount of political gaming, twisted rationalizations or intellectual idiocy is ever going to change these pre-existing rights. Tomasky insists that: [T]he idea that any right is unrestricted is totally at odds with history, the law, and reality. He uses the tired argument that some restrictions on personal liberty, including restrictions on gun rights, are reasonable given the circumstances of the times. And, it only follows that he and other statists should be the ones to decide what is reasonable. I disagree, along with millions of other Americans; and believe me, this is a serious problem for statists. If Tomasky and The Daily Beast want to impose their collective worldview on the rest of us and dismantle our individual freedoms guaranteed in natural law and the Bill of Rights, then Im afraid theyll have to fight us for them. In the end, legal precedence is irrelevant. Political precedence is irrelevant. Political party is irrelevant. Historical precedence is irrelevant. The theater of words is irrelevant. Statists need to understand that there is no alternative. There is no silver bullet argument that will make us forget what is fundamentally true. There is no juxtaposition of logic that will muddle our resolve or confuse our principles. Some rights are indeed absolute; and we will not yield them, ever. The statist reality is a far cry from what actually is; and soon, Im afraid, they will learn this lesson the hard way.

1	NASCAR and the National Hockey League announced Wednesday they would punish Sprint Cup driver Carl Edwards for hitting Boston center Marc Savard with his No. 99 Ford Fusion stock car late in the third period of Sunday's Penguins-Bruins game, an action that inflicted a Grade 2 concussion and ended Savard's season. 'NASCAR may have announced earlier this season that they would let the drivers drive, but when Carl drove out to the blue line and plowed into Marc's blind side, it was clearly the exact sort of cheap shot the NHL is trying to prevent,' NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell said during a joint press conference with NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton. 'We have no choice but to suspend Mr. Edwards for the next three races and the remainder of the NHL regular season.' The Bruins would not comment on whether they would send quick-fisted team enforcer Shawn Thornton out to retaliate during the Samsung 500 at Texas Motor Speedway.

Considering he spends all day unleashing a violent messianic fervor against our enemies, youd think he could bring some of that same hysterical passion back to the bedroom sometimes, said Khalil, adding that every time theyre about to get get hot and heavy in the sack, her husbands mind wanders off to thoughts of jihad and fatwa. As soon as he hears about a depiction of Muhammad, or some other brazenly evil work of the infidel, theres this smoldering gleam in his eyes. But he never looks at me like that anymore. Khalil added that when her husband returned home that night, she would try desecrating a Quran right in front of him to get him all hot and bothered. 
3	What Is This GWEN Tower Really For?By Aaron and Melissa Dykes The potential for attuned frequencies, and extremely low frequency (ELF) waves in particular, to be used to electronically stimulate areas of the brain and alter mood has been documented in scientific research for decades now. Moreover, microwaveshave allegedly been put to use in covert warfare since the early days of the Cold War. Are signals directing the population to remain calm, become aggressive, desire and consume products, to enter a sleep state or to be artificially programmed to be happy, sad, depressed or enraged? Is this a truly plausible scenario? Can this really be happening? Are such signals really capable of changing the landscape in a quiet war with silent weapons? Heres what we found after several attempts to track down a verifiable GWEN tower: GWEN stands for Ground Wave Emergency Network, a program from the late Cold War which officially began in 1982, erected throughout the 1980s and early 1990s with what would seem a dubious purpose. The Google summation: A GWEN station transmits up to a 300-mile radius, the signal dropping off sharply over distance. The entire GWEN system consists of, (depending on source of data), from 58 to an intended 300 transmitters, spread across the USA, each with a tower 299-500 ft high. The towers include 350-foot copper wires that fan out from underneath the structure through the ground like umbrella spokes, interacting with the Earth, meaning signals can travel down into basements, etc. GWEN transmissions are between VLF 150 and 175 KHz, but the towers also emitUHF waves of 225 to 400 MHz. The towers shoot enormous bursts of energy, but the waves hug the ground, which is supposed to be a way for military communications to withstand an EMP or nuclear attack. There was a lot of mystery surrounding the GWEN tower project, much of which has persisted throughout the years.Although the program was first defunded by Congress in 1990 and then again for the final time in 1994, some of these towers still stand today.Information on the Web regarding exactly where GWEN towersare located, however, is sketchy at best. Stranger still are newspaper articles regarding GWEN when the Air Force was first constructing the system. Military town hall meetings were met with great resistance. Large groups of people protested in cities across America for multiple reasons, including not wanting their town to be a Russian nuclear target, to what people felt might be the real reasons behind building GWEN which many felt had absolutely nothing to do with nuclear war everything from weather manipulation in conjunction with HAARP to mass mind and behavior control. In an article from the Greenwood, South Carolina Index-Journal dated Sept. 26, 1986, Nancy Foster who was co-director of an anti-GWEN activism group, attended a public meeting and noted that an early Air Force environmental assessment curiously made zero mention of GWEN being used in nuclear conflict. An August 1986 article in The Gettysburg Times outlines Gerald Depews BBC appearance against GWEN. Depew noted that the tower network was quote, not expected to be functional for more than a half-hour after the start of a nuclear barrage. Sounds real helpful in that case, right? Depew also maintained that the towers were about protecting high-ranking military and government members only, not average American citizens. But perhaps even more concerning is an article from the June 18, 1993 edition of The Indiana Gazette, well after the Cold War supposedly ended and well after Congress first started defunding GWEN in 1990. Then Secretary of Defense Les Aspin (Council on Foreign Relations) was quoted as scoffing at the idea of nuclear war, saying it had receded to the vanishing point. The article goes on to question, and rightly, why, then, did Aspin turn around just a few weeks later and begin pushing ahead once more on finishing the GWEN tower project if the entire reason for the system really was based on what was in his own words the nonexistent threat of nuclear war in the first place. Why build an $11 million network of towers that it would seem had no real justifiable purpose? More on GWEN Aaron Dykes and Melissa Melton Dykes created TruthstreamMedia.com as an outlet to examine the news, uncover the deceptions, pierce through the fabric of illusions, 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 Love, love your work Truthstreamkeep it coming. Not at all surprising. Technology will always be used, to an extent, as a control and perception mechanism at least until the people are collectively intelligent enough to understand the technology and how it works at a fundamental level. Since, as you point out, the intensity of the ground wave diminishes greatly with respect to distance, wouldnt they be less than effective when placed far away from population centers? This one seems to be located in the boonies. Are they all? This is an obvious question I have; do we have any answers? If not, why not? It is true that military secrecy often exists for its own sake, rather than serving any logical purpose Are those chemtrail clouds in the background? Weather manipulation or mind control take your pick. Its not uncommon for authorities to use our own methods to pull what they want out of us. Our own personal properties are use to aide in road construction. Insurance companies no longer have to convince customers to purchase their products, it has become law. Healthcare decisions are garnered by the bean counters instead of the providers and their patients individual needs. Prisons are built at record paces while schools are closing alongside their communities. Many roads to destruction have been well paved with good intentions.

2	If This 3 Minute Video Of Hillary Can Reach Every America She Will Lose Its hard to believe that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is close to securing the Democratic nominee, but that is likely to become a nightmarish reality. In response to her progression on the campaign trail, the National Review has just released a three-minute video explaining the many reasons why Hillary Clinton cannot be trusted to become president of the United States. The video, entitled Who is Hillary Clinton?, talks about Hillarys various scandals, including (a) her personal emails controversy, (b) her wiping her server clean of all those emails and (c) her failure to turn over her work related emails. This is just one of the many manipulations weve seen from Clinton. Lets not forget that she is being investigated by the FBI.

1	A new poll of the Missouri electorate reported this week that Sen. Claire McCaskill holds a tenuous lead in the states Senate race over Rep. Todd Akin, essentially revealing that you live in a nation where a man who is deeply and irrefutably mentally ill can nevertheless stand a solid chance of winning higher office. Current data shows that, contrary to any conventional notions of human reason or logic, a man with a questionable grasp on reality is evidently quite able to attain a prominent government position in the nation you are a citizen of, said researcher Donald Schur, noting that the man in question currently holds a one-percent lead, yes, lead, in several other similar election polls. Thats right, you, the average citizen, live in a country where a human being deep in the throes of delusion can not only be elected to higher office on six prior occasions, but may in fact be voted into office again despite his psychological instability being put on full display in the most spectacular fashion imaginable. This is the place where you live, and work, and pay taxes. Researchers also noted that, according to recent evidence, this kind of thing actually doesnt surprise you too much anymore. 
1	Saying he had been deeply shaken by the extent of Hurricane Sandys destruction, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney visited the storm-battered mid-Atlantic coast Thursday to help victims repair and re-erect thousands of downed Romney-Ryan campaign signs. Ive toured up and down the coastline, and I can tell you that the level of damage to campaign signage is unimaginable, said the visibly concerned candidate, wading through calf-high water and debris to place a tattered Romney: Believe In America sign back in the window of a flooded house. The high winds and storm surge absolutely devastated the signs in their path, and sadly, a number were even washed out to sea. But my team and I will do everything we can to make sure these lawn signs receive the care they need and get back on their legs as soon as possible. Staffers confirmed the GOP candidate had also donated 10,000 Romney-Ryan baseball caps to families left homeless by the storm. 
1	In an extremely depressing case of denial Monday, a professional athlete about to undergo season-ending knee surgery told reporters that following the complex, four-hour-long procedure, he could be even stronger and faster than he was prior to the injury. 'The new ligament will actually be more durable than the last one since it won't have been through all the wear and tear,' said the pathetic player, blatantly disregarding the fact that doctors would be harvesting other parts of his body in order to perform the surgery, thus weakening crucial muscles surrounding the knee and essentially making him a shell of his former self. 'I bet I'll be able to move quicker than I did in college.' According to sources, even more heartbreaking than the player's unrealistic statement has been the response from his fans, who not only ignored their gut instinct that the player's once-promising career was basically over, but actually began speculating how good their team would be when he finally returns.

This is why we need to support Peter by buying his ebook Chemtrails Exposed: A New Manhattan Project. 
1	Cheers, laughter, and applause filled the big top tent at the Ringling Bros. Circus Saturday as children of all ages were captivated by the savage enslavement of Topsy the elephant. Whether young or just young at heart, thrilled audience members watched with glee as a circus trainer forced the frightened Topsy to perform tricks by brutally poking and prodding the traumatized 4-year-old pachyderm. 'He's such a funny happy elephant,' said 8-year-old Madison Helms, referring to the abused creature that spends the majority of his time chained up in a cramped, feces-covered enclosure. 'He loves being in the circus!' The crowd reportedly let out loud gasps and vigorously clapped when Topsy stood up on his hind legs, an unnatural and excruciatingly painful movement that stresses and permanently damages the 8,000-pound elephant's joints. Topsy also delighted the audience after the trainer repeatedly thrust a hooked rod into his skin, causing the miserable animal to lift one leg and his trunk to simulate waving. 'Aww' said the assembled circus-goers, who were taken by the cuteness of the barbaric spectacle. Branden Helger, 9, said Topsy was his favorite performer at Ringling Bros. because the elephant knew how to do neat tricks like pretending to limp. The third-grader also excitedly pointed out the 'cool necklace' clamped on the animal's foot. Topsy and the other elephant performers, who are separated from each other at all times, preventing the socialization that's so crucial to their well-being, received a standing ovation from the crowd when they marched into the center ring, nervously rocking back and forth. 'Look, they're dancing,' said 5-year-old Jonah Meeks, mistaking the elephants' constant swaying for something that wasn't a maladaptive behavior caused by serious psychological trauma. 'I can dance like an elephant, too. Look at me!' Unaware that the elephant was terrified of the glaring stage lights, deafening crowd noise, and constant beatings, Phil Wingren, who brought his family to the circus, remarked that Topsy must relish being a star. 'Boy, that Topsy's got it made,' Wingren said to his children, referring to the mistreated, severely neglected creature, who is exposed to numerous diseases and receives no medical attention except when dirt is rubbed into his wounds to hide them from the public. 'Always in the spotlight and everybody pampering you. That lucky elephant.' 'Look, he even has his own ball,' continued Wingren, referring to the most hated object in Topsy's life. Attending the circus with her grandparents, Gretchen Anderson, 4, was delighted by Topsy and by the other pachyderms as well. 'There's his mama,' Anderson said of an elephant unrelated to Topsy, who has not seen his parents since being torn away from them shortly after birth, and last nestled up to his mother when he tried to suckle at her corpse shortly after poachers killed her. 'They have a big happy family.' Eyewitnesses who spotted the trainer patting the side of Topsy's body during the final trick were convinced the elephant and the man were best friends, though in fact the look of reverie on Topsy's face was the result of his daydreaming about stomping and crushing the cruel asshole's head like an overripe melon. 
1	After arriving early for a coworker's party Friday evening and wishing to avoid an awkward entrance, 29-year-old Scott Harrington reportedly devised a plan to walk back and forth along the residential street for 10 additional minutes. 'I guess I could sit in my car and listen to the radio, but it would be weird if someone saw me doing that,' Harrington said to himself before outlining a strategy to wander slowly over to the convenience store on the corner, stare at a few food items he has no intention of purchasing, and then wander slowly out. 'If that doesn't kill enough time, I'll just go through my cell phone and delete old text messages for a while.' After eight minutes of meandering to a nearby playground and back, Harrington is expected to stand silently on a neighbor's lawn. 
1	Terrifying every innocent bystander in its wake, a menagerie of hideously hued orange beasts burst from the Hollywood Tans on Washington Street Tuesday and marched aimlessly through the downtown area in a macabre parade of unspeakable grotesquerie. 'The horror!' local resident Julie Hollingsworth said as she stood frozen, blinded by the glare of the creatures' luminous white teeth. 'My eyes! My eyes are besieged! What evil forces have entered these unearthly sacks of blistered leather and made them dance so revoltingly?' According to traumatized witnesses, the monsters communicated with one another in a series of high-pitched, unrecognizable shrieks, possibly calling for the doom of all mankind or perhaps asking for the location of the nearest Pinkberry. 
3	Municipal Bankruptcies and More on the WayEven to the casual observer, the financial condition of government budgets are under severe stress. Taxes have gone up consistently and have outpaced any meager adjustments in income for most taxpayers. No one can reasonably expect that municipal financing is assured by simply raising assessments and rates to keep their bloated bureaucracies solvent. Since the middle class has never recovered from the money centered meltdown, the average community struggles with diminished resources. A measure of last resort might well be bankruptcy, assuming your state allows for such relief. Chapter 9 Bankruptcy Basics seem straight forward. The purpose of chapter 9 is to provide a financially-distressed municipality protection from its creditors while it develops and negotiates a plan for adjusting its debts. Reorganization of the debts of a municipality is typically accomplished either by extending debt maturities, reducing the amount of principal or interest, or refinancing the debt by obtaining a new loan. The resources on Bankrupt Cities, Municipalities List and Map, provides valuable information. Overall bankrupt municipalities remain extremely rare. A Governing analysis estimated only one of every 1,668 eligible general-purpose local governments (0.06 percent) filed for bankruptcy protection from 2008 through 2012. Excluding filings later dismissed, only one of every 2,710 eligible localities (not all states permit governments to file for bankruptcy) filed since 2008. List of Bankruptcy Filings Since January 1, 2010 General-Purpose Local Government Bankruptcy Filings (9): City of Hillview, Ky. Most financial analysis does not forecast that the risk of government authority default is high. Yet in this never ending bond financial environment, many jurisdictions have abandoned a pay as you go standard. Borrow from tomorrow to pay for the shortfall of today is not sound fiscal policy. The actual circumstance from one of the above cited cities presents a potential legal strategy that can overturn the apple cart. The B Word: Is Municipal Bankruptcys Stigma Fading? Fiscally distressed cities have sought relief by raising taxes and cutting services, but they often hit a brick wall when it comes to contract adjustments. And even in cases where they can negotiate a new labor agreement, existing pension agreements have legally been untouchable. That was until Central Falls, R.I., declared bankruptcy. The finance-strapped town of 20,000 people, located on the northern outskirts of Providence, had been trying to renegotiate its pension contracts for months with no success. When it filed for bankruptcy protection in August 2011, the slate was essentially wiped clean. The city immediately moved to change its labor and retiree agreements. The new deal hammered out by Central Falls and the unions was essentially what the city had wanted all along, says Ted Orson, the attorney for the citys receiver. The final agreement slashed pensions by 55 percent (although funding from the states general assembly reduced that cut to 25 percent for the first five years). The difference, Olson says, is that Central Falls was the first city to use bankruptcy to make good on its promise to cut pension benefits. Up until Central Falls, there was never what we call an or else, Orson says. There wasnt any leverage to make concessions. However, after Central Falls, when [the labor unions] saw what happened, they understood its better to negotiate a better agreement than to be in a position where something can be forced on you and you might not like what it is. This resolution can be a profound game changer. When the time comes during the next and graver economic crisis, the bean counters will look to any alternative to paper over their books, even if that means reneging on former contract agreements. How the courts will come down may have less to do with case law than for granting continuity of governance. It is not simply an alarmist scare, since The Fed is doing workshops on municipal bankruptcies now. When the central bank sends out a warning notice, the hazard danger surely is rising. We at the New York Fed are committed to playing a role in ensuring the stability of this important sector, he said, referring to the sordid finances of state and local governments. But he wasnt talking about future bailouts by the Fed. He was issuing a warning to municipalities and their creditors about the emerging fiscal stresses in the sector. Its a big sector. State and local governments employ about 20 million people nearly one in seven American workers. The sector accounts for about $2 trillion, or 11%, of US GDP. And its services like public safety, education, health, water, sewer, and transportation, are absolutely fundamental to support private sector economic activity. Well, the too big to fail mentality has just hit the next level. And with this mindset the incompetent and corrupt municipal administrators just get more comfortable in their leather chairs. According to Zacks, the Muni Bond Market Size is, As of the end of 2011, the latest year for which comprehensive data is available, the principal value of the roughly 1 million outstanding municipal bond issues totaled $3.7 trillion, according to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. How much more will this amount climb when municipal budgets experience even greater deficits? Finally, examine the facts within the article, How Democrats Pillaged Chicago Toward Bankruptcy. Currently the City of Chicago admits to having $26.8 billion of unfunded pension liability. Since there are almost exactly one million households in the city, each household owes the city $26,800 dollars to fund their pensions. The precedent of Central Falls, R.I needs to push Rahm Emanuel to face reality.

1	With a recent Gallup poll indicating only 2 percent of his party supports his candidacy for president, Jon Huntsman confided to staffers Tuesday that he was secretly relieved to be faring so poorly among the die-hard GOP base. 'When I saw the numbers and realized Republicans weren't embracing my message, I breathed easily for the first time in months,' the former Utah governor and ambassador to China said. 'They're terrifying. We're talking about people who blame the unemployed for their own predicament and literally applaud the idea of letting those who don't have health insurance die. What would it say about me if they gravitated toward me personally or approved of my political principles?' Huntsman added that it was a huge weight off his shoulders when Herman Cain surged ahead of him in the polls, noting that it could easily have been him. 
2	What Horrific Thing Michelle Obama Is Doing To Kids Suffering From Cancer According to a shocking new report, St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital recently told parents that they could not visit their sick children or take them to their appointments. Why? Because First Lady Michelle Obama was visiting instead, of course. Sounds fair right? Apparently, security measures set up for the first lady prohibited visits. Not surprisingly, the parents of children in the hospital did not react well. I am LIVID!!! One woman wrote on her Facebook page. I just got a phone call from a St. Jude mom whose son is battling a brain tumor. Tomorrow, this little boy has his MRI. The results come after. His mom was told that she cannot bring her husband with her to get the MRI results! Although Michelles appearance was marketed to be a visit with patients and their families, only a very select few actually got face time with the First Lady. Meanwhile, families were banned from seeing their sick or dying children. What do you think about this policy? 
2	CNN Journalist Reveals Governments Pay Us To Fake Stories [VIDEO] Three-time Emmy award winning journalist Amber Lyon has just come forward with claims that CNN has been paid by the Obama Administration and foreign governments to report on events. Lyons also claims that the United States government maintains a level of editorial control over some of their content. As Jews News reported, CNN once sent a crew to Bahrain to cover the Arab Spring, where they were able to record some great footage. Glenn Greenwald of the UKs Guardian wrote the following article in September of 2012: In the segment, Lyon interviewed activists as they explicitly described their torture at the hands of government forces, while family members recounted their relatives abrupt disappearances. She spoke with government officials justifying the imprisonment of activists. And the segment featured harrowing video footage of regime forces shooting unarmed demonstrators, along with the mass arrests of peaceful protesters. In sum, the early 2011 CNN segment on Bahrain presented one of the starkest reports to date of the brutal repression embraced by the US-backed regime. Despite these accolades, and despite the dangers their own journalists and their sources endured to produce it, CNN International (CNNi) never broadcast the documentary. Even in the face of numerous inquiries and complaints from their own employees inside CNN, it continued to refuse to broadcast the program or even provide any explanation for the decision. To date, this documentary has never aired on CNNi. Having just returned from Bahrain, Lyon says she saw first-hand that these regime claims were lies, and I couldnt believe CNN was making me put what I knew to be government lies into my reporting. Amber Lyon and her team also put together a segment that CNN did not let them air. Reportedly, the Bahrain Government paid them not to show it. What do you think? Does this explain a lot about journalism in the United States? 
1	An embarrassed Lakers management called a press conference Friday morning to announce they had accidentally orchestrated a four-team deal to acquire 7-inch center Dwink Howard, instead of 7-foot center Dwight Howard, as they had intended. 'Clearly Dwink doesn't bring quite as much to the table as Dwight would have, but we're trying to remain positive and focus on how much Dwink will improve the atmosphere around here,' said Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak, referring to Dwink Howard's proclivity for boosting team morale with his squeaky inspirational speeches and teensy locker room hijinks. 'He just might be the tiny piece we need to help us win another NBA championship. And now that Andrew Bynums gone, we don't have to worry so much about somebody smooshing him.' Kupchak closed the press conference by suggesting the Lakers were attempting to offset Thursday's mistake with an attempt to acquire 70-foot power forward/center Emega Okafor from the Wizards. 
1	Frequently reminding her that the year is 2015 and that she no longer lives in suburban Pennsylvania, the family of dementia sufferer Evelyn Parker, 84, keeps brutally ripping her away from the soothing, idyllic world of the 1950s, sources confirmed Friday. No, dont you remember, Grandma? Bills gone now. He passed in 1998, said Parkers granddaughter Denise Wiley, jarring the woman from the blissful surroundings of a joyous family dinner around the dining room table of their newly purchased Levitt house in prosperous postwar America, and thrusting her back into the present moment in which her health, her mobility, and nearly every one of her joys in life had long since disappeared. This isnt Dellwood Avenue, Grammy. You havent lived in that neighborhood for almost 60 years. Just look around. You moved to Florida decades ago. See? Wiley then reportedly spent 10 minutes trying to force her grandmother to take a medication that would dissolve away her evenings plan of attending the premiere of Singin In The Rain with the charming, handsome young man who was courting her, and instead leave her sitting by herself in her small nursing facility apartment. 
1	Claiming that the 46-year-old journalist is clearly unhinged, the National Football League has sought a restraining order against ESPN reporter Adam Schefter, sources confirmed Tuesday. This weirdo is always showing up unannounced and following people around, and the harassment is really getting out of hand, said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, adding that the proposed legal injunction would prevent Schefter from coming within 100 yards of any team. Hes totally obsessedconstantly calling, writing these creepy online posts, and asking inappropriate questions about private information. The guy is a total wack-job, and theres no telling what he could do if this keeps up. Frankly, we fear for our safety and the safety of the entire NFL family. At press time, authorities had reportedly just arrested Schefter on charges of stalking new 49ers backup quarterback Seneca Wallace after a team practice in Santa Clara, CA.

3	Meltdown America: A Warning From SurvivorsJeff D. Opdyke Theres a perception in our country that America is so exceptional that the trials and tribulations and outright social catastrophes that rock other countries in the world simply cannot happen on our shores. Were the biggest, the strongest, the richest. We are America. And we have divine immunity. Ahh, the power of the mind to mask the facts we refuse to accept. We are a deeply troubled nation, riven by political dysfunction, angst-ridden by social disquiet, addled by so much debt more debt, $125 trillion, than ever accumulated in history that we will never be able to completely repay it without radically devaluing the dollar or radically raising taxes and cutting government services. Yet we watch meltdowns in other countries and never consider for an instant that, just maybe, something like that could happen here. But were closer to that tipping point than you think. Casey Research is launching a special video today called Meltdown America, which takes an in-depth look at three people who survived economic and political collapse in Yugoslavia, Zimbabwe and Argentina. Now, I know no one will think that America would ever devolve to such a degree that it would mimic the path of any of those three countries. But I will remind you that a century ago, America and Argentina were vying to hemispheric superiority and Argentina lost because of asinine political choices within government. And it probably will. To survive, you must be willing to see what you dont want to accept and willing to make moves that others will call crazy. Remember: Its never those who stay behind that survive. Its those who act to get out of the way of an unpleasant future that live to tell the stories of how it all fell apart.

1	The death and subsequent overly sentimental eulogizing of longtime Yankees announcer Bob Sheppard has left sportswriting's maudlin stockpiles almost completely exhausted, sources at the Baseball Writers Association of America reported Wednesday. 'We knew Sheppard's passing would cause sports journalists throughout the country to nearly tap our national maudlin supply, and now, with the sappy memorializing of Sheppard as an icon of a simpler time; the almost mawkish comparisons of him to DiMaggio, Berra, and Mantle; and the excessive use of melodramatic closing sentences in the nation's sports columns, there is simply no more maudlin in reserve,' BBWAA president Bob Dutton said. 'We may have to change the entire way we write about sports, at least until our weepy-self-indulgence levels return to normal.' Sources at all major sports news outlets claimed the problem has been developing for some time, with maudlin supplies already overtaxed by the death of John Wooden and the uncontrolled gusher of crude, unrefined maudlin that has been leaking from Rick Reilly since 1994. 
3	Leaked Memo: Jordans King Reveals UK SAS Forces On The Ground In Syria, Israel Supports NusraBy Brandon Turbeville As Randeep Ramesh wrote for the Guardian at the time, According to the notes of the meeting in the week of 11 January, seen by the Guardian, King Abdullah confirmed his countrys own special forces will be imbedded [sic] with British SAS in Libya. According to the memo, the monarch met with US congressional leaders including John McCain, the chairman of the Senate armed services committee, and Bob Corker, the chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee. Also present was the House of Representatives speaker, Paul Ryan. King Abdullah said UK special forces needed his soldiers assistance when operating on the ground in north Africa, explaining Jordanian slang is similar to Libyan slang. Abdullah also allegedly pointed out that the British had been instrumental in setting up a mechanized battalion in Southern Syria made up of local tribal fighters (aka terrorists) and lead by a local commander for the purposes of fighting against the Syrian government forces. The Jordanian king also stated that his troops were ready to fight side by side with the British and Kenyans for the purposes of invading Somalia. According to the Guardian, The monarchs apparent openness with the US lawmakers is an indication of just how important an ally Jordan is to the US in the region. Since the 1950s Washington has provided it with more than $15bn (10.5bn) in economic and military aid. However, the Jordanians had become frustrated over perceived US inaction over the Middle East in recent months. Five years of fighting in Syria have dramatically impacted on Jordan, which has absorbed more than 630,000 Syrian refugees, and the king has repeatedly called for decisive action to end the conflict. Interestingly enough, the King also allegedly admitted that Turkey and specifically Recep Erdogan is hoping for the victory of radical Islamists in Syria and that Israel is tacitly supporting al-Qaeda/al-Nusra in Syria. Ramesh summarizes the Kings alleged statements by writing: In March, Stratfor analysts reported that UK Special Forces were already in Libya and that they were escorting MI6 teams to meet with Libyan officials about supplying weapons and training to the Syrian army and to militias against the Islamic State. The British air force bases Sentinel aircraft in Cyprus for surveillance missions around [the Isis Libyan stronghold] Sirte as well. The presence of Western/NATO Special Forces in Syria is by no means a revelation at this point. These forces have been present in the embattled Middle Eastern country for some time. In October, 2015, it was announced by the White House that 50 Special Forces troops would be sent to Syria. This announcement came days after it was reported that U.S. Special Forces commandos were working with Kurdish forces to free prisoners of the Islamic State in Syria. Later, the presence of U.S. Special Forces in Syria was tacitly acknowledged in 2015 when the U.S. took credit for the killing of Abu Sayyaf. Reports circulated in October, 2014 that U.S. soldiers and Special Forces troops were fighting alongside Kurdish battalions in Kobane. An article by Christof Lehmann published in March 20, 2015 stated, Evidence about the presence of U.S. special forces in the Syrian town Ayn al-Arab a.k.a. Kobani emerged. Troops are guiding U.S. airstrikes as part of U.S support for the Kurdish separatist group PYD and the long-established plan to establish a Kurdish corridor. A photo taken in Ayn al-Arab shows three U.S. soldiers. One of them Peter is carrying a Bushnell laser rangefinder, an instrument designed to mark targets for U.S. jets, reports Ceyhun Bozkurt for Aydinlik Daily. The photo substantiated previous BBC interviews with U.S. soldiers who are fighting alongside the Kurdish separatist group PYD in Syria. The photo of the three U.S. troopers also substantiates a statement by PYD spokesman Polat Can from October 14, 2014, reports Aydinlik Daily. Can admitted that a special unit in Kobani provides Kurdish fighters with the coordinates of targets which then would be relayed to coalition forces. The first public U.S. Special Forces raid in Syria took place in July, 2014 when Delta Force personnel allegedly attempted to rescue several Americans being held by ISIS near Raqqa. Allegedly, the soldiers stormed the facility but the terrorists had already moved the hostages. While the raid would provide evidence that U.S. Special Forces were operating in Syria in 2014, many researchers believe the story is simply fabricated by the White House to provide legitimacy to the stories of murdered hostages and thus the subsequent pro-war propaganda that ensued as well as to promote the gradual acceptance of U.S. troops on the ground in Syria. In 2012, an article published in the Daily Star by Deborah Sherwood revealed that SAS Special Forces and MI6 agents were operating inside Syria shortly after the destabilization campaign began in earnest. Sherwood writes, Special Forces will help protect the refugees in Syria along the borders. Last week as the president ignored an international ceasefire, plans were being finalised to rescue thousands of Syrians. SAS troops and MI6 agents are in the country ready to help rebels if civil war breaks out as expected this weekend. They also have hi-tech satellite computers and radios that can instantly send back photos and details of refugees and Assads forces as the situation develops. Whitehall sources say it is vital they can see what is happening on the ground for themselves so Assad cannot deny atrocities or battles. And if civil war breaks out the crack troops are on hand to help with fighting, said the insider. . . . . . Safe havens would be an invasion of Syria but a chance to save lives, said a senior Whitehall source. The SAS will throw an armed screen round these areas that can be set up within hours. There are guys in the communications unit who are signallers that can go right up front and get involved in close-quarter fighting. In addition, in March 2012, it was reported by Lebanons Daily Star that 13 French intelligence agents had been captured by the Syrian government, proving not only that Western Special Ops presence in Syria did, in fact, exist but also that it existed essentially from the start.

2	Christian Leader Jerry Falwell Jr. Lays It All On The Line For Donald Trump Just recently, Sarah Palin gave her endorsement or Donald Trump. Now, yet another famous leader has given him his endorsement. Christian leader Jerry Falwell Jr. called out in an attempt to swing Christian voters in Iowa for Trump. He described trump as a successful executive and entrepreneur, a wonderful father and a man who I believe can lead our country to greatness again. Falwell Jr. is currently the president of Liberty University, a Christian school that has since then released a statement saying that Falwells endorsement does not reflect the schools views. In fact, many from the school are furious with Falwell Jr. for making such an endorsement. Trump responded with delight. It is truly an honor to receive Jerrys endorsement. Not only is he a high-quality person, with a wonderful family, whom I have great respect for, I also consider him a very good friend, and his support means so much to me. Its endorsements like these that will make the difference in the election. We truly appreciate the gesture to take a stand for the right candidate. More importantly, make sure YOU vote in the upcoming election. We cant risk letting Hillary in the White House. Will you vote for Donald Trump? If not, which candidate do you favor? 
3	2012 The Great Illusion: Writing ContestGary Arsenault Perhaps that is the great illusion of seeing ourselves as being enslaved to this plane of matter and energy. Are your senses conveying to you the truth of what you see, and why do you base all of your decisions and life on things of which we cannot say is our reality, for the senses of perception are not in accord with an understanding of what you are in reality. Consciousness is evolving, but what is consciousness anyway? And from whose point of view can you define this word? All teaching is from the knowing of this word consciousness, but no one can give a definite answer to this one word. So, we believe that in 2012 something is supposed to happen to raise consciousness, but this is only true because you have a faith and hope for something greater to come for mankind. What if right now is the best mankind can expect to receive, for the unknown is not of this earth but from an awakening that David has described as the awakening consciousness he has often called LOVE. This world is controlled by fear and hate, but if you should overcome this energy, what would you think your mission could be but to help your fellow brothers to awaken to the Love of which you now are? Time and space keep us here, but once understood to be the great illusions of mankind, then all you think and feel about the hidden guilt within us all will simply vanish along with the fear and hate of the future. Your existence as a human being now spiritual being is the fulfillment of yourself as what your subconscious always knew to be true, for your heart is open for all to view; a new world not of this plane but the spiritual plane of your very being, as being one with your fellow humans and to no surprise one with god.

1	In a year that saw a record number of mortgage defaults and home foreclosures, part-time landscaper Ben Foster, 34, was publicly vindicated in his bold decision, made back in the spring of 1996, to continue living with his parents. 'It's like I've been telling my buddies for eight to 12 years now: 'Why get in over your head before you're ready?'' Foster said in praise of the no-risk, meals-included housing agreement he has maintained on and off since birth. 'Sometimes it just makes more sense to be fiscally conservative, especially if you can move into the basement and set things up just how you like them.' Leading financial analysts said Foster will likely remain secure in his current situation until skyrocketing medical costs force his aging parents to sell the house.

1	Acknowledging that he has reached a stage in his life when he doesnt quite seem to fit in anywhere, marketing experts confirmed Monday that local consumer Keith Eberhardt, 34, is entering that awkward period of transition between target demographics. Though Keith no longer fits in with most of his 18-to-34-year-old peers, it may be a while before he feels like he really belongs in the 35-to-49 demographic, and that can be a difficult time in a consumers life, said Laura Washburn of KPG Digital Marketing, noting that while Eberhardt has grown out of mobile ad campaigns for energy drinks and UFC programming, he isnt yet solidly part of the audience buying luxury automobiles and mortgage refinancing services. Its never easy being on the outside looking in, but Keith just hasnt quite grown into a middle-aged adult with an income of $60,000 or more in his peak purchasing years. Until then, hes probably going to feel a little bit overlooked by advertisers and branding experts. Its something every college-educated, white, upper-middle-class male goes through. Washburn added that Eberhardt will undergo a series of changes in the months ahead, explaining that hell likely start noticing ads for high-fiber cereals and whole-grain snacks and begin feeling things toward these products that he has never felt before. 
1	NEW ORLEANSThe werewolf who died while attacking a young woman Sunday must have been allergic to peanuts, experts said Tuesday. 'The wolfman crashed through the intended victim's front window, but before the accursed beast could tear her apart in a savage fury, he stepped in a bowl of honey-roasted peanuts,' said Dr. Alex Price, professor of lycanthropic studies at Tulane University. 'Within seconds, the hellbeast's face began to swell, and he collapsed into an anaphylactic attack, unable to breathe.' Price said that, had the werewolf not been more animal than man at the time of the attack, he likely would have used the epinephrine injection pen paramedics found in the breast pocket of his shirt. 
2	BREAKING: What Cooter From The Dukes Of Hazzard Just Said About The Confederate Flag Is Going Viral Ben Jones, known as Cooter on the popular show Dukes of Hazzard has come under criticism following the attack in Charleston, S.C. Liberals have started attacking the orange 1969 Dodge Charger with the Confederate flag on its roof that was frequently shown on the show. Jones is not taking the attacks on General Lee lightly, and has decided to take a stance in favor of the car on his social media page. In a post on his Facebook, Jones explained that the flag represented the indomitable spirit of independence and values of the rural South. It is not a symbol of racism, as the media has attempted to paint it as. Our beloved symbol is now being attacked in a wave of political correctness that is unprecedented in our nation of free speech and free expression. Activists and politicians are vilifying Southern culture and our heritage as being bigoted and racist. We know that this is not the case, and we know that in Hazzard County there was never any racism. Jones went on to claim that the flag will never be removed from stores or museums. We are all the same good people today that we were last week and last year and we are not going to be shamed into turning our backs on our heritage and our convictions, he continued. We are not racists. We despise racism and bigotry. And we think the people who are creating this cultural cleansing are the real bigots in this story. What do you think? Do you support Jones comments? 
2	Obama Tries To Smear Bill OReilly, Big Mistake Fox News host Bill OReilly is finding himself in some hot whatever after sharing his controversial opinion of State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki on the air, claiming that she looks out of her depth. OReilly immediately received backlash on social media, with Marie Harf tweeting that OReilly lacks intelligence and class. She then went on to claim that OReilly must be sexist for thinking that the State Department is not quite living up to expectations. I think that when the anchor of a leading cable news show uses quite frankly sexist, personally offensive language that I actually dont think they would ever use about a man, against the person that shares this podium with me, I think I have an obligation and I think its important to step up and say thats not okay, Harf concluded. Is Harf forgetting that OReilly is not afraid to speak his mind, and frequently does so to both male and female politicians alike? OReilly has spoken out against President Obama, Eric Holder, Joe Biden, and many others during his time as a host. OReilly was quick to point this out to Harf, compiling a clip from one of his previous shows, where he criticized White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest. For the first time in a long time, The Washington Post stood behind OReilly in the debate. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	Former Secretary of State Alexander Haig accepted the Worthington Literary Award on behalf of his four ghostwriters Tuesday for his book No Victory. 'It is with humble gratitude that I accept this great honor,' Haig said, graciously speaking for the team of writers who wrote the 435-page account of his unsuccessful bid for the 1988 Republican presidential nomination. 'I appreciate that you have taken the time to consider what I had to say on the...subject matter of this book.' Haig has not touched his Apple IIe since 1994 and spends most of his time hot-air ballooning in Naples. 
3	CISPA Could Allow Companies to Filter or Block Internet TrafficDan Auerbach Mark M. Jaycox One of the scariest parts of CISPA is that the bill goes above and beyond information sharing. Its definitions allow for countermeasures to be taken by private entities, and we think these provisions are ripe for abuse. Indeed, the bill defines cybersecurity purpose as any threat related to safeguarding or protecting a network. As long as companies act in good faith for a cybersecurity purpose, they have leeway to protect against efforts to degrade, disrupt, or destroy [a] system or network. This opens the door for ISPs and other companies to perform aggressive countermeasures like dropping or altering packets, so long as this is used as part of scheme to identify cybersecurity threats. These countermeasures could put free speech in peril, and jeopardize the ordinary functioning of the Internet. This could also mean blocking websites, or disrupting privacy-enhancing technologies such as Tor. These countermeasures could even serve as a back door to enact policies unrelated to cybersecurity, such as disrupting p2p traffic. The defense of networks is one reason why the Heritage Foundation is backing the bills. In a letter of support (PDF), Heritage discussed how CISPA gives private entities clear legal authority to defend their own networks. While we think private entities should be able to defend their networks, they should not be able to do without accountability in a manner that threatens free speech or disrupts the Internet. CISPA is intended to protect against catastrophic cyberattacks and economic espionage, but the broad definitions of CISPA unfortunately allow for much more. Contrary to what Rep. Rogers says, CISPA is not a sharing of threat information bill only. CISPAs language is so vaguely defined that it could allow private companies to take a wide range of actions in order to defend their networks. While some of these actions might be perfectly appropriate, others could have disastrous consequences for our civil liberties. Help EFF beat back this legislationsend an email to Congress and participate in our week of action against CISPA. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	Hailing the bygone era as a golden age of opportunity, Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal spent his opening remarks during Thursdays GOP debate vowing to return America to a time when he was a rising star within the Republican Party. I want to bring America back to its best days, back when our future as a nation looked bright and I was widely considered to be the leading voice of a new generation of conservatives, said Jindal, emphasizing that the country had strayed too far from the halcyon days that Americans enjoyed for a brief period in early 2009. Comparing our nation today to where it was during that idyllic time when I was being touted as a potential heir to the Ronald Reagan legacy, anyone can plainly see that the most powerful country in the world has lost its way and replaced hopefulness and optimism with utter despair. If allowed to guide America back to that glorious era, Jindal pledged hed never attempt to deliver a rebuttal to any charismatic Democrats national address, a significant miscalculation that he blamed for plunging the country into its current dark age. 
3	Obama to Fill Prisons with File Sharers Instead of Pot Smokers?The most ridiculous provisions of the defeated SOPA are put back on the table. Obama Administration wants online streaming to be a felony. As a pro-marijuana activist, its a joy to watch the Berlin Weed Wall come tumbling down. I even found some pleasure this week in Attorney General Eric Holders announcement for reduced sentencing for non-violent drug offenders. Its not everyday some liberty is yielded back to the people, however small. Yet my joy is tempered by cynicism. The private prison-industrial complex could not have been happy with Holders recent announcement, but theres a strange silence. Theres not a single bought-and-paid-for politician coming to the defense of longer prison terms for non-violent drug offenders. So what gives? Surely there must be intense lobbying efforts underway to stop this. I mean, any industry evil enough to bribe judges to throw innocent children in cages would clearly scratch and claw for every dollar of potential profit, right? But what if they can replace drug offenders with other warm bodies like copyright offenders (file sharers)? The NSA likely has a whole list of offenders ready to go. Theyre an easy target as they dont typically travel in armed cartels. Who cares that they, too, are non-violent offenders? Make file sharing a felony, says the Obama Administration. You probably remember the online outrage over the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) copyright enforcement proposal. Last week, the Department of Commerces Internet Policy Task Force released a report on digital copyright policy that endorsed one piece of the controversial proposal: making the streaming of copyrighted works a felony. As it stands now, streaming a copyrighted work over the Internet is considered a violation of the public performance right. The violation is only punishable as a misdemeanor, rather than the felony charges that accompany the reproduction and distribution of copyrighted material. SOPA attempted to change that in Section 201, aptly titled Streaming of copyrighted works in violation of criminal law. Some have suggested that the SOPA version and an earlier stand-alone piece of legislation from Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) would have criminalized covers of songs shared on Youtube. A slightly more colorful explanation of this development is in the video below: Hollywoods lobby is almost certainly joined by the prison lobby in pushing this new SOPA provision. Heck, the entire Department of Homeland Security, with an infrastructure that constantly needs justification for its existence, would benefit from locating and taking down a new class of felons. No doubt the entire terror-surveillance apparatus would be used for this endeavor, too. The Bush Administration already laid the groundwork of equating copyright pirates with terrorists. CNET reported in 2005, An invocation of terrorism, the trump card of modern American politics, could ease the passage of the next major expansion of copyright powers following Congressional testimony where an investigator testified that Some associates of terrorist groups may be involved in IPR (intellectual property) crime. The same pressure to use anti-terror mechanisms to track down a pimply teenager with a killer movie library on a hard drive also began in Europe around the same time. The Guardian reported in 2005 that The music and film industries are demanding that the European parliament extends the scope of proposed anti-terror laws to help them prosecute illegal downloaders. So this plan to take on online piracy as a form of terrorism has been in the works through two administrations. Obama has been seeking to take this battle to the next level during his time in office with his support for SOPA, PIPA, CISPA, ACTA, and various executive orders. And since the government has been caught using warrantless spying, supposedly reserved for stopping imminent terror attacks, for IRS and DEA investigations, we can only assume it will also be used to prosecute all felonies online crimes in particular. Weve seen the DHS seize websites for merely posting links to copyright material. And we see them prosecuting hacktivists like Barrett Brown for 100 years for posting a link. Theyre setting up the laws to treat all citizens like terrorists to catch with dragnet surveillance by criminalizing more non-violent behavior. Its a recipe for a steady stream of new business for law enforcement and private prison complex. Although its genuinely a good thing that the DOJ is easing up on drug sentences, as usual they give a little crumbs out of one hand while stealing the whole loaf with the other.

2	Families Of Burglar Thugs Shot By 70 Year Old Widow Want To Sue Two teenage boys were recently shot after breaking into a Sacramento house. Now, the families of Michael Sambrano, 14, and Steven Crider,17, are claiming that the homeowner was wrong to shoot the intruders. The two boys broke into the home of an elderly widow. Both were shot and killed by either the widow or her brother, who was staying with her for protection. The womans house had just recently been broken into. While the neighbors of the victim stand by her decision, family members are arguing that the shots fired were unnecessary. They were on their way out the door, and I just think it was wrong that they were shot, Sambranos sister told CBS Sacramento. Still, neighbors who have face similar burglars claim that protecting family comes first, and California law states that a homeowner is permitted to use deadly force when someone enters their home if they have a reasonable fear of death or bodily injury. He was not an innocent bystander, said neighbor David Keck, Im sorry the little boys or teenagers were killed, but if its my family, my family comes first. The victim, 68-year-old Alice Hubbard Gordinho, had been robbed several times before, and was in fear for her safety. Police say that the fingerprints on the scene of the most recent crime match a break in to Gordinhos home that occurred this past Easter. I dont have any comments to make on this, Gordinho told News10, Im sorry for the boys, and Im sorry for me, because they tormented me. Its been a tragedy. What do you think? Was Gordinho justified in shooting the two intruders?

3	Mind reading computers are being developedBy Melissa Dykes The interface would serve as a translator, converting between the electrochemical language used by neurons in the brain and the ones and zeros that constitute the language of information technology. The goal is to achieve this communications link in a biocompatible device no larger than one cubic centimeter in size Sounds like a super fun addition to the coming smart grid. And when they finally decide to announce these technologies to the public, the military, government, and media always like to propagandize them with the idea that it will be used for only for good, as in to help deaf and blind people, but come on. Since when is DARPA the benevolent giver of $60 million in technology just to help people with physical disabilities? What if technology like this progressed to the point where your thoughts could be read whether you liked it or not? The idea isnt science fiction. It isnt even far-fetched. A panel at the elite Davos forum recently met to discuss the issue of neuro technologies being used decode our brains whether we like it or not. UC Berkeley professor Dr. Jack Gallant said, Personally, I think its just a matter of time before there will be a portable brain decoding technology that decodes language just as fast as you can type with your thumbs on a cell phone and everyone will wear them because people have shown that theyre quite willing to give up privacy for convenience, and then I think that brings up a lot of really interesting and scary ethical and privacy issues. Gee you think? Meanwhile Microsoft is in the process of acquiring language prediction technology maker Swiftkey, home of the first neural network for smart phones, for over $200 million. Just what the world needs, clairvoyant smart phones, Fortune reported. Facebook is already asking people how their day is going when they log in Not sure if you can visualize where all this tech is headed (no pun intended), but Google chairman Eric Schmidt said that soon the Internet will be part of your presence all the time as we get swept up into the ever-connected, omnipresent Internet of Things that the NSA keeps drooling over. Just imagine if brain decoding tech is made a standard part of that grid. No wonder Bilderberg asked if privacy still exists. The question was rhetorical. And everyone is stumbling around with their faces in their smart phones, seemingly unaware of the rabbit hole their about to fall into.

A world with a few million people who have robots do everything for them is considered a step in the right direction by many people. Unfortunately these people are some of the richest people on the planet. The younger generations who were born into the computer age accept this stuff uncritically. I remember the age before cell phones. Actually in the US when you walked up to a public phone someone would have cut the cord for a joke, or they didnt work for some reason. Cell phones are handy but then staring at a smart phone every minute of the day is another matter. I like to get a song in my head and carry it with me without aid of constant gadgets to maintain my imagination. Thats what I did as a kid riding my bike or on the swing set, and still do many years later, and it is good for the brain to memorize lyrics. Also, try to memorize phrases in a foreign language, its is fun and makes you popular if you can say hello beautiful in Italian. Ciao bello! I was at a meeting recently and the program they were promoting was software to stop students from plagiarism. I remarked to a colleague, why dont they just implant a chip into the students brains to prevent improper behavior? He agreed and noted that using technology to block cheating with computers deprives the students to ability to develop their own ethics. There are several sub-routines running that tell me Im quite sure that I dont want to be living in this Zombie Apocalypse. However, here we are. I suspect strongly that we all signed up for this gig, and that the opportunities to learn and grow from it are something we value highly, despite the interesting times. We need to accept the situation exactly as it is, and find the presence to do what is called for. Pay attention, breathe, dont harbor ill-will. In fact, try to find the grace to pray (however that works for you) for the seriously demented elites. However much they know about our external lives, or even our thoughts as revealed by the electromagnetic activity in our brains, they can never know our hearts. Or, maybe some of them will start to, and thereby come to know their own. I wont hold my breath that the elite blinded by their own greed and driven by perverted desires will stop manipulating the masses when they learn more about how we are made. 
1	Local insane person Nathan Yeckly admitted Tuesday that upon further reflection, several of the things he screamed at passing cars, pedestrians, and animals while standing in the middle of East 18th Street were perhaps slightly embellished. 'In retrospect, I may have somewhat overstated the Supreme Court's role in aiding the beef industry's plan to slowly poison every person in America,' said Yeckly, adding that while there is no question the CIA is using satellites to taint livestock with infrared lasers, he has little proof of the high court's participation. 'I mentioned the Supreme Court to add some weight to my argument, and for that I apologize. Especially to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It's just patently untrue that she has the power to control my thoughts; all she can do is read them.' Yeckly also expressed regret for vowing to 'kill everyone of you,' saying that he now realizes he only needs to murder those who know. 
1	Claiming that the dilapidated, sun-bleached recreational facility had been on its last legs for years, local residents told reporters Monday that this has to be the summer that the Putt King miniature golf course on Route 22 finally closes its doors. I honestly have no idea how that place has stayed in businessI dont think Ive seen one car in its parking lot in the last five or six years, said Whitehall resident Kevin Forenza, 22, who claimed the miniature golf course had been sad and run-down as long as he could remember. Last time I was there, the turf on half the holes was so warped you couldnt even set the ball down to hit it without it rolling away. And a lot of the bricks along the borders of the greens were missing, so the ball just ran right off the course and onto the dirt. Its really bad. And that must have been back in 2005, so it has to be even worse now, added Forenza of the facility that has reportedly not been renovated or updated in any way since the early 1990s. I mean, Christ, look at it. Locals unanimously agreed there was no way the 18-hole course and self-styled Family Fun Center could be making any profit whatsoever, citing in particular the Putt Kings sagging chain-link fencing and its faded, nearly illegible rules and regulations sign. Additionally, only a handful of residents were able to confirm that the crumbling, nondescript mound of gray cement and exposed rebar at the end of the final hole had once been painted to resemble a kings castle and that patrons once putted through a drawbridge to finish their rounds. According to sources, adding to the facilitys sense of sadness and impending demise was a large wood cutout on Hole 12 that featured a crude and embarrassingly bad hand-painting of what appears to be Yogi Bear. To the astonishment of local residents, however, the length of chain that hung across the entrance to the Putt Kings cracked parking lot was reportedly removed in early May, signaling that the weathered and overgrown facility had somehow opened for another season. I brought my son there for his tenth birthday a few years back, and all the water hazards on the course were completely dry and covered in old, peeling blue paint, said Ray Klingensmith, 43, who noted that the tunnels on several of the recreational facilitys holes were full of leaves. In fact, the only place where there was any liquid was in a few of the cups themselves, which had about an inch of dirty standing water that you had to dip your fingers into to get the ball. And it was pretty frustrating because some of the hole numbers were gone, so you didnt know if you were doing them in the right order, Klingensmith added. It wasnt much fun, so we ended up just quitting and leaving after the hole that I think might have been a lighthouse or a windmill that had lost its blades. While several older residents claimed to have occasionally seen people eating at the Putt Kings burger and ice cream stand long ago, they confirmed that the timeworn one-room structure next to the parking lot had closed at least a decade earlier, having since been replaced by a single vending machine. According to reports, a Pepsi-branded plastic menu board remains attached to the former Snack Shacks exterior wall, still offering a chili dog for $1.35, 85-cent onion rings, and what appeared to be a Junior Soft Serve, though due to numerous missing letters, sources noted it was no longer possible to be sure. When questioned by reporters, however, not a single resident was able to recall a time when the facilitys batting cages, now thick with ankle-high weeds and covered by a severely drooping protective net, were ever operational. The saddest part is that the owners have to know how pathetic and depressing the place looks, said local woman Tori Babbits, who speculated that the Putt King earns maybe $235 each summer. And now they probably cant even make enough money to make the place nicer or even just prop up the leaning fiberglass statue of a king holding a putter thats out by the roadside. I know it doesnt cost a lot to operate, but I just wish it would be put out of its misery, she continued. At this point, its hard to even drive past without feeling sad. At press time, the middle-aged man behind Putt Kings rental booth was still there with a row of putters neatly lined up on the counter in front of him. 
2	Trump Calls Obama, The Worst President In History Lately, it seems that Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama are spending most of their time criticizing and slandering Donald Trump. Recently, the pair declared him unfit to hold the presidency. Now, Trump is firing back, arguing that Clinton and Obama are the unfit onesa claim which is proven by their track records at the head of the federal government and their many, many failures. Trump also asserted that Obama was the worst president in American history. President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States! Trump tweeted this week. He also took to Facebook to express his frustration, posting: Obama-Clinton have single-handedly destabilized the Middle East, handed Iraq, Libya and Syria to ISIS, and allowed our personnel to be slaughtered at Benghazi. Then they put Iran on the path to nuclear weapons. Then they allowed dozens of veterans to die waiting for medical care that never came. Hillary Clinton put the whole country at risk with her illegal email server, deleted evidence of her crime, and lied repeatedly about her conduct which endangered us all, he continued. They released criminal aliens into our country who killed one innocent American after anotherlike Sarah Root and Kate Steinleand have repeatedly admitted migrants later implicated in terrorism. Trump then claimed that the pair has produced the worst recovery since the Great Depression, shipping many of our jobs overseas to appease their global special interests. She is reckless with her emails, reckless with regime change, and reckless with American lives, Trump concluded. Our nation has been humiliated abroad and compromised by radical Islam brought onto our shores. We need change now. What do you think? Do you agree with Trumps assessment? 
1	It was learned Monday that male students in Riverview Middle Schools fourth-period gym class are preparing, as they do before every scheduled hour of physical education, for mandatory exposure of their near-hairless, tiny, adolescent penises to the scrutiny of their peers. 'Everyones got to be completely nude,' said gym teacher Randall Slavin. 'Anyone refusing to participate in the group nudity will be disciplined under school policy.' Said seventh-grader Tim Hilfer: 'Id known James Ketchner ever since he and his mom moved here from Phoenix. Weve been in school together a long time, but in all those years Id never seen his penis. Now, I see his penis five days a week, and he sees mine.' 
1	ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith recently made several dismissive remarks about ice hockey this week, causing Americans across the country to flock to the sport in droves, sources confirmed Sunday. Up until about a week ago, I never cared about hockey one way or the other, but ever since I saw Stephen A. Smith criticize the game, Ive been a huge fan, said local man Paul Bradford, echoing the sentiment of millions of Americans, who since the polemical sportscaster derided hockey have fanatically followed every wrinkle of the newly popular sport. He said he doesnt like it when a hockey game is low-scoring. Well, I love when that happens. Because I love hockey. Its my favorite sport. Bradford added that, in a further show of solidarity against any and all of Smiths viewpoints, he and the rest of the nation would continue not watching the NBA. 
1	Anticipating the very likely need for rapid medical evacuation, a fleet of ambulances from several regional hospitals took up positions Saturday at the edge of Fairview Park, where a group of 41-year-old former college friends had gathered for a casual game of touch football. EMT crews wasted no time readying an extensive supply of ice packs, neoprene wraps, and transport gurneys while the men, most of whom had played often in their teens and early 20s and not a single time since, split into teams and agreed on the location of the end zones. 'As soon as dispatch informed us that 15 middle-aged guys were talking about 'tossing the old pigskin around,' everyone on duty stopped what they were doing and got here as fast as possible,' said ambulance driver Reed Macallen, opening a fresh package of Ace bandages and making sure his defibrillator's batteries were charged. 'Given the widely varying levels of physical fitness and lack of any protective gear whatsoever, it's only a matter of time before emergency medical services are required.' 'Someone's pulling a groin on the first play,' he continued. 'That's pretty much a guarantee.' As the graying men performed no more than thirty seconds of light stretching, paramedics went over response plans for various scenarios, from a player slipping a disc while bending over into a three-point stance, to somebody tearing a hamstring after deciding to actually punt the ball instead of just throwing it to the receiving team. Separate provisions were made to handle any player who blows out a kneecap while trying to run a route seen on television, dislocates a shoulder in an attempt to block a player charging at full-speed, orfollowing a mid-game loosening of the two-hand-touch rule to 'spice things up' with leg tacklesshatters a femur. 'The bottom line is these guys will be running and in some cases jumping, and that's going to cause problems,' said local EMT Kathy Leland, prepping a morphine drip she explained would be administered to the first player to scream in agony from a fractured neck vertebra or Achilles tendon rupture. 'As soon as a rusher gets past a center, or there's a fumble, or there's a friendly pile-on, or someone tries to showboat and trot in for a touchdown backwards, we'll be out there with the stretcher.' 'It's a safe bet most of these guys have forgotten they haven't really exerted themselves since the early '90s,' she added. Paramedics confirmed that all local trauma centers had been notified of the game and that every licensed physician in Wayne County would remain on call until it ended. While they hoped it would be unnecessary, officials said a medevac helicopter could deploy at a moment's notice in the event a player had to be airlifted to a hospital in Raleigh with a more comprehensive cardiac unit. 'As if the situation weren't risky enough, they'll almost definitely be trying to impress their wives and children, who, unfortunately, are cheering them on from the sidelines,' Leland said. 'Not to mention the fact that a college-aged nephew of one of the men has been recruited to play, and several guys have said they want to 'show the kid how it's done.'' Moments before kickoff, ambulance crews could be heard starting their engines after the well-built 22-year-old was heard from across the field jokingly calling one of the players 'old man.' 
1	Citing a series of fatal malfunctions dating back to 1777, flag manufacturer Annin & Company announced Monday that it would be recalling all makes and models of its popular American flag from both foreign and domestic markets. Representatives from the nation's leading flag producer claimed that as many as 143 million deaths in the past two centuries can be attributed directly to the faulty U.S. models, which have been utilized extensively since the 18th century in sectors as diverse as government, the military, and public education. 'It has come to our attention that, due to the inherent risks and hazards it poses, the American flag is simply unfit for general use,' said Annin & Company president Ronald Burman, who confirmed that the number of flag-related deaths had noticeably spiked since 2003. 'I would like to strongly urge all U.S. citizens: If you have an American flag hanging in your home or place of business, please discontinue using it immediately.' Added Burman, 'The last thing we would want is for more innocent men and women around the world to die because of our product.' Millions of U.S. flagrelated injuries and fatalities have been reported over a 230-year period in locations as far flung as Europe, Cuba, Korea, Gettysburg, PA, the Philippines, and Iraq. In addition, the company found that U.S. flag exports to Vietnam during the late 1960s and early 1970s resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths, a clear sign that there was something seriously wrong with its product. Despite fears about the flag's safetyespecially when improperly used or manipulated in ways not originally intendedsales continued unabated over the years, potentially putting billions of unsuspecting people in danger. 'At first, we wanted one of our flags in every home in America,' Burman said. 'Unfortunately, the practical applications of this product are far outnumbered by the risks it presents. Millions have died needlessly, and when you ask people why, they point to the flag.' Unfortunate casualties of Old Glorys near-continuous 230-year use. Added Burman, 'Frankly, we should have pulled it off the market decades ago.' Studies conducted by the Annin & Company research and development department revealed that faulty U.S. flags have caused more than just injuries and deaths. During the mid-1950s, the flags were found to have the bizarre side effect of causing fear, paranoia, and hysterical behavior among millions of Americans. This was dismissed as an isolated event until September 2001, when similar symptoms reemerged on a massive scale. As hazardous as the flags may be on their own, Annin & Company officials claimed the products become even more dangerous when used in conjunction with other common household items. 'When combined with alcohol, excessive patriotism, grief, or well-intentioned but ultimately misguided ideals, U.S. flags transform into ticking time bombs, just waiting to go off,' Burman said. Manufacturers are addressing the flag's unsafe and potentially lethal alignment of stars and stripes by designing a revised model that they hope will cut down on deaths in the United States and overseas, where experts say the flag is nearly 1,000 times as deadly. In the meantime, Annin & Company is advising all Americans to either ship their flags back to the manufacturer or, if no time permits, dispose of them in an efficient manner. 'I understand that people might be reluctant to stop using a product they have found to be reliable over the years,' Burman told reporters. 'But I can't in good conscience allow them to use something I know to be dangerous. We'll try to make adjustments soon and come up with something that benefits everybody rather than hurting them.' Added Burman, 'In the interim, I would recommend that all Americans switch to the Canadian flag, which seems to be working just fine.' 
3	Haters of Humanity: The Church of MalthusHating humanity is their creed, corporate-fascists its patriarchs, pseudo-scientists its priest-class, brain-addled cultists its practitioners. Paul Gilding describes himself as an independent writer, advisor and advocate for action on climate change. He is not a scientist, nor does he appear to participate in any sort of productive industry. He is a modern day Malthusian evangelist preaching the limits of population growth as hysterically as Thomas Malthus did over 200 years ago, warning of imminent societal collapse. Gildings contemporaries include John P. Holdren, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, who in 1977 ludicrously concluded that the United States would collapse when its population reached 280 million in 2040. Clearly, whatever science men like Gilding and Holdren are basing their system of beliefs on is divorced from the science that gives us technology and progress. It is analytical, theoretical, and compiled by men who have little experiential knowledge of how the world actually functions. They are priests and evangelists perched in ivory towers and behind podiums shouting out their patently false conclusions to the crowds before them. Their resumes are devoid of accomplishments in applied science and technology, and instead filled with ridiculous predictions and academia that have humiliatingly and repeatedly been proven false. Worst of all, their work is carried out on behalf of a Green Vatican of sorts not based in Rome, Italy, but on Wall Street and in the financier capital of London who in reality are the greatest purveyors of environmental catastrophe. Like many cults and organized religions before them, they shift the burden of reconciling sin onto its growing flock of followers instead of taking responsibility for its own actions, resultant from perpetual greed. For instance, Gilding in his TED Talk, claims that humanity has exceeded Earths carrying capacity by 1.5 times a number drawn from the Global Footprint Network funded by a myriad of corporate-financier funded foundations, not the least of which is Biotech GMO giant, Syngenta (2010 Annual Report, page 26 of the .pdf). A recent report published by investigative journalist Patrick Henningsen titled Big Green Oil Money: WWF founded and run by Royal Dutch-Shell, exposes how yet another denomination of the Church of Malthus is indeed funded by Wall Street and London. It should be noted that the WWF is linked directly to the Global Footprint Network. Following this pattern is Deutsche Bank, one of the leading participants in the carbon credit market, who had erected a monolithic Carbon Clock in New York City to add a sense of moral justification, public urgency, and support to their newly devised pyramid scheme. This is not some sort of new culture of corporate responsibility but just the latest in a long line of lies told by banking and industrial cartels to market their products and services to an infinitely exploited and purposefully misled population. The Fallacy of Anthropogenic-Driven Climate Change Explained. In order to deconstruct the dogma of the Church of Malthus it helps first to understand that the planet Earth is in a constant state of change. Beneath its surface are geological processes that literally turn the planet inside-out over the ages through tectonic shifts and the volcanism that results. When land is thrust up above sea-level resulting in the creation of an island, it in turn shifts weather patterns. Atmospheric moisture that would otherwise carry on until it reached landfall upon the ever shifting major continents of Earth, would instead condense and fall due to new variations in pressure and temperature. Collectively these geological changes result in new global weather patterns. Weather patterns then directly affect biological adaptation. Species that lived in previously cool regions may adapt significantly to deal with an increase in regional temperatures. Their ecosystem may be so vastly affected in such a short period of time, some species may even go extinct a process that has been ongoing long before man arrived. To illustrate this, we can look at the state of planet Earth in terms of biology, geology, and climatology, approximately 65 million years ago, where the continents we now know today were already taking recognizable shape. CO2 levels were over 10 times what they are now, and sea levels were so high that North America featured an inland sea centered on what is now the Mississippi River. Global temperatures were also many times greater than they are today, so much so, that Antarctica despite already shifting to Earths southern pole, was covered in temperate forests and was home to a thriving dinosaur population. Collectively, these changes and shifts in biological diversity across the planets surface then feed back into atmospheric conditions which in turn affect the weather. Since at no point in Earths history has its geology or biodiversity been the same, it stands to reason that weather driven by these two constantly changing variables would also constantly change. Therefore, the concept of normality in Earths climate is a ridiculous notion. The best one could do is claim that the indefinitely changing weather and biodiversity of the planet is being altered by human activity before proving how weather would have naturally changed and how it is now artificially changing. Since the ideological doctrine of the Church of Malthus is an irrational climate status quo it is clear that their conclusions and the science used to arrive at them are significantly flawed. As we will later see, real environmental damage is being done by human activity, but by precisely the sponsors of the charlatans pushing anthropogenic climate change. Another factor conveniently overlooked by the Church of Malthuss priest class, is the role the Sun plays in driving not only Earths climate, but the climate of extraterrestrial planets such as Mars and the moons of the jovian planets (gas giants), such as Titan of Saturn. The Sun, like all stars, is a fusion reaction that exhibits drastically different characteristics throughout its life-cycle. Additionally, the internal cycles and anomalies that occur within the Sun on a daily basis are just now being examined and understood by stellar astronomers. Variations in the Suns intensity, however minute, can have wide-ranging affects on planetary climate throughout the entire solar system. Additionally, observations of the gravitational effects gas giant Jupiter has on its moons geology also hold profound implications regarding Earths geology, and subsequently the climate affected by that geology. Jupiters pull on its moons is so great that it literally causes tidal shifts of their mantles in the same way the sea is affected by tidal forces of Earths moon. These forces are so great, the friction caused by the moons flexing mantle so extreme, it creates volcanism on a scale that dwarfs any volcanic display seen on Earth. Like priest-classes throughout history, the Church of Malthus abuses the ignorance of the general population regarding the basic forces of nature, oversimplifying planetary climatology that otherwise involves factors including geology, biology, meteorology, Newtonian physics, and stellar astronomy. Not only do they do this in order to sell their version of indulgences in the form of ineffectual carbon credits,and to assert their control over society in what they themselves call a planetary regime (Ecoscience, pages 942-943, 1977), but they are ignoring naturally driven climate change and the consequences that may indeed jeopardize human civilization. This priest class and their political and monetary solutions leaves civilization with no plans or contingencies in the event that the conditions seen during the Cretaceous period revisit us once again. Climate change is indeed real it occurs with or without humans, and can drastically change the face of the planet giving rise to great masses of biodiversity or killing off great numbers of species in what are called mass extinction events. Carbon credits, carbon taxes, forced sterilizations, destroying the family, piling humanity into micro-managed cities, and instituting a planetary regime to administer global governance will do absolutely nothing to stop climate change, but it is a great way for an elitist oligarchy to exercise megalomanical domination over humanity, as dreamed of by all tyrants since the dawn of human civilization. The Church of Malthus is Regressive, not Progressive. Without a doubt the planet Earth, humanitys sole refuge amongst the vastness of the universe, is being destroyed. It is not being destroyed, as we would be led to believe, by people having children, consuming natural resources, or expelling carbon dioxide (CO2). Instead, it is demonstratively being destroyed by reckless genetic engineering by big-agricultural corporations like Monsanto and Syngenta. It is being demonstratively destroyed by immense, ludicrously centralized supply chains like those of Pepsi and Coca-Cola supplying the world with poisoned sugar water. Video: Controlling our food: The world according to Monsanto a wake up call to the world, exposing the nefarious, duplicitous, corrupt, corporate-fascist, and very much deadly agenda of this world-spanning mega-corporation and the GMO Biotech industry in general. It is being destroyed by a military-industrial complex covering its ever-expanding global theater of war with depleted uranium, possessing a half-life of billions of years thus effectively contaminating our environment forever. Mega-industrial conglomerates like General Electric building subpar nuclear power plants on fault-lines, and governments failing to make necessary upgrades on vastly outdated reactors are destroying our environment in ways no number of children or their consumption of resources could ever hope to accomplish. The Earth is being destroyed by a corporate-driven infrastructure imposed upon us by corporate-fascist governance in America, giving us inefficient mass transportation decades behind the rest of the world and allowing no other option than to buy a car to get around. It gives us mega-markets that we must travel to in order to fill our cupboards at home, while regulating out of business local industry and even home gardens and industry that could supply us the same products right on our own block within walking distance. Big-oil regulates out of business any possible alternative to their global-spanning energy empires while using war to prevent the development of additional reserves by developing nations. The government that serves these corporate interests ensures that our education system produces few minds not indoctrinated and siphoned off to serve this agenda preventing us from ever changing the course we are currently on. The coup de grce of course is then convincing the global population that the state of our planet is entirely our own fault. In a way this is true, because we fuel these corporations, their proxy governments, their organizations and institutions on a daily basis with our patronage of their goods and services and our daily capitulation to their rules and regulations. However, the Church of Malthus has excelled at creating a humanity-hating congregation that scoffs at the family the foundation of human civilization since time immemorial, scorns technological and industrial development in the third-world, and wallows in the nihilistic culture growing around this new-aged religion. The Church of Malthus is in every way regressive. Instead of pursuing innovation and invention to grapple with the challenges that lie before us, it suggests sustainability, zero-growth in both population and industry, and a vast array of political solutions that coincidentally leave them incredibly powerful and wealthy. Only, our prehistoric ancestors when faced with the adversity of starvation and overpopulation didnt resort to political solutions, such as rationing, quotas, or population control, but instead picked up a stick, sharpened it, and embarked on hunts of animals our physiology was otherwise incapable of bringing down. Innovation not only allowed us to survive, but to flourish. We built better spears, we devised bows and arrows, we developed agricultural technology, and when our populations swelled due to our ability to prevail against natural odds, we explored and settled new climbs and places. This trend toward technologically facilitated localism translates into an unsavory world order for the ruling global corporate-financier oligarchs, a world order they are fighting ceaselessly to prevent from coming into being. They fight this battle by monopolizing ideas, information, energy, technology, and the monetary system, in tandem with the systematic sabotaging of our education system, constant intellectual pollution via mainstream media, and the devastating physical and mental effects of the food and pharmaceutical industries. Much of this is justified through a Malthusian-themed strategy of tension involving narratives of overpopulation and resource scarcity, peddled by the emerging Church of Malthus. It becomes clear that geopolitical domination facilitated by the very fake War on Terror, democracy promotion, and humanitarian interventions, is only one step in a larger plan. As the globalists fight on to destroy the nation-state worldwide, they fight domestically to destroy self-sufficiency and independence. Just as foreign nations become terrorist extremists for resisting the oligarchs globally, we are becoming domestic and economic terrorists for resisting them on the home front. The Church of Malthus Vs. Real Progress Energy and matter can neither be created nor destroyed. While Earth contains a finite amount of resources, they are resources that with the right technological mastery, can be reused indefinitely. Man is already capable of leaving Earth, and has already landed human boots on the Earths moon, and robotic probes on Mars, Venus, Titan, and even the asteroid Eros theoretically expanding our reach and our available resources exponentially beyond what is necessary to reach populations of 10s of billions. Humanity has already built modest orbital habitats capable of sustaining small rotating crews for years. For all thats required to implement the radical, nightmarish scenarios proposed by the Church of Malthus to deal with our current limits of population, the same amount of mobilization and resources could be aimed at technological progress toward achieving greater efficiency on Earth while evolving humanity into a multiplanetary species. If we can land on asteroids like Eros, we can likewise mine them, or convert them into orbital habitats envisioned by American physicist Gerard K. ONeill known as ONeill Cylinders. In fact, an impressive array of solutions lie in wait to solve humanitys problems waiting for a population educated and brave enough to accommodate them. The cultists of the Church of Malthus celebrate the futility of stunted intellect and defeatism daily in their calls to crawl back into the jungles, cull vast swaths of humanity, and dismantle industrialized civilization, even as they tap on their Chinese-made Macs and poke at their iPhones in their calls to do so. Their cowardice and limited vision is the true barrier impeding human progress, a barrier we as individuals can pass through and move beyond if only we realize several necessary keys. These include education (self-education if necessary), innovation, self-sufficiency, localism, and an orderly exit from the current paradigm we are currently in the midst of. As abhorrent as each and every feature of the current system may seem, it has in many ways given us this window of opportunity to seize a truly optimistic future for ourselves. It is the shameless, reckless consumerism that has lowered prices and barriers of entry to various industries through competition, technological progress, and supply and demand however manipulated and distorted they may be. Innovative companies like Elon Musks SpaceX are gaining prominence by serving such a system, but also introducing revolutionary visions for the future that transcend the current paradigm. Elon Musk has made repeated calls to make humanity multiplanetary, a step he claims is as significant as life coming from out from the oceans and onto land. And indeed, this is the next and only logical course for humanity to take as our population continues to grow. And while Musk is optimistic about the future of humanity, it can be imagined that this optimism is in the context of likeminded people prevailing against the likes of the Church of Malthus. In addition to tapping the vast resources of the frontiers of space, improved, decentralized advanced manufacturing here on Earth has already made it possible for individuals and small groups of people to do what mega-corporations were once the sole monopolists of. Just as computers have enabled industries such as the media to be decentralized, resulting in what is now called the alternative media, breakthroughs in computer-controlled manufacturing is making similar decentralization possible across various physical forms of industry. MIT Professor Dr. Neil Gershenfeld has developed the fabrication laboratory or Fab Lab. The Fab Lab is a microfactory that can make almost anything. His Fab Lab has since been replicated all over the world in what he calls the personal fabrication revolution. It aims at turning a world of dependent consumers into independent designers and producers. Dr. Gershenfeld in his own words articulates the problem of finding support amongst institutions and governments, stating that individuals are very enthusiastic about this revolution but it breaks their organizational boundaries. In fact it is illegal for them, in many cases, to equip ordinary people to create rather than consume technology. This indeed not only encapsulates Dr. Gershenfelds dilemma, but describes to a t the mentality of oligarchs and the fears they harbor about truly empowering the people, a fear reflected in the organizational boundaries of their corporations and governmental institutions. This is a feature of oligarchy described as early as 300 B.C. in ancient Greece in The Athenian Constitution. In it, a character referred to as the Old Oligarch describes his contempt for the social mobility the technology of the Athenian navy affords the lower echelons of Athenian society. Dr. Gershenfeld goes on to encapsulate the true potential of his Fab Labs by stating, the other 5 billion people on the planet arent just technical sinks, they are sources. The real opportunity is to harness the inventive power of the world to locally design and produce solutions to local problems. Dr. Gershenfeld concludes by conceding he thought such a possibility was 20 years off, but its where we are today, noting the success his Fab Labs are already having around the world. Image: The interior of a Fab Lab in Amsterdam, featuring an array of personal manufacturing technology. The technical possibility for this to change the world is already a reality, but Dr. Gershenfeld himself concedes that the biggest obstacle is overcoming social engineering in other words creating a paradigm shift in the minds of the population to meet the technical paradigm shift that has already taken place. Self-sufficiency and the harassing of technology in the hands of the people are the greatest fears of the global oligarchy fears that oligarchs throughout the centuries have harbored. Simply boycotting the globalists corporations and replacing them with local solutions is something everyone can afford to do starting today. And by simply looking into Dr. Neil Gershenfelds Fab Lab, raising awareness of the personal fabrication revolution, and even in the smallest way participating can help overcome the obstacle of social-engineering and spur a profound paradigm shift. A Call to Action. There are two competing ideologies one of Malthusian defeatism leading to a despotic global tyranny the likes of which we have yet to suffer, and one of real progress. There are fortunes and fame to be made from both, but only one leads to a future we will all benefit from. Becoming directly involved in implementing true progress would be best of all. However, exposing, boycotting, and replacing those peddling the religion of Malthus, like the Fortune 500 corporations sponsoring US policy think-tanks, while supporting and raising awareness of those enterprises promoting real progress is an option we can all choose and begin exercising today. There will be companies and personalities that fall from grace, others that will redeem themselves, and because even corporations like Boeing and Lockheed, Pepsi and Coke, that have damaged America and the world in so many ways still employ well-intentioned and incredibly talented people, there is always the chance that a growing popular movement, exposing and boycotting such corporations may spur more enlightened employees and executives to reform their agenda and allegiances. The same could be said of corporations like Google or Microsoft who despite all theyve done to enable the parasitic despots of Wall Street and London, likewise have vast pools of human talent that should be encouraged to scrutinize their companys ethics and methods, and if calls for reforms are not met, themselves start an ethical, responsible enterprise the people can truly get behind. There is also immense talent involved in the biotechnology industry which, while currently committed to domineering humanity can just as easily be used for the good of humanity. For too long the TV has determined the agenda, the debate, the strategy of tension along which we are forced to fight but as the alternative media comes of age, it is time to push back. Make real progress the agenda, evolving humanity together toward goals of a multiplanetary civilization, the leveraging of technology and innovation to solve the problems politicians have kicked back and forth for generations with ineffectual policy, and support dynamic minds like Musk and Diamandis in their goals of advancing humanity in the face of challenge and adversity, instead of cowering in fear with the Malthusians. Begin today by identifying the corporate-financier interests wrecking humanity, boycott and replace them with local alternatives, and begin promoting the true agenda you believe in rather than compromising with the false choices allotted to us by corporate propagandists and proxy politicians. The solutions to our problems are obvious, however challenging they will be to implement. Let us stop following feckless cowards intent on sabotaging our collective destiny, and pursue these awe inspiring goals for both the glory and challenges that await us as we have always done.

1	Officials at the Food and Drug Administration announced Tuesday that they approve of the basic direction Pfizer's new drug Ribastrol is headed in. 'We like what you guys are trying to do here: kind of a Zoloft thing with some Levitra-esque undertones thrown in there, too,' said Commissioner Margaret Hamburg, adding that the FDA essentially dug Ribastrol's general vibe. 'We encourage all of you at Pfizer to play around with it a bit and tighten up some of its chemical configurations. And then, you know, get back to us.' Hamburg said the FDA also recommends that Pfizer check out what the folks over at Novartis have been doing lately, because it might be right up their alley. 
2	Christians Unite To Take Down Obama At The White House According to recent reports, a group of 50 Coptic Christians decided to march from the White House to Capitol Hill wearing the orange prison jumpsuits seen in the Islamic State execution videos and chanting, Obama, Obama, did you see? Christina blood in the sea. Just this month, the Islamic State group in Libya executed 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians in a video. As a result, Egypt responded with bombings, while the Obama administration sat idly by. According to Hanna Asaad, one of the organizers of the protest, his best friend and cousin was one of the men featured in the beheading video. I kept calling my cousin and telling him he had to leave Libya, but there was no safe way out, he told reporters. The militants came looking for Christians and then took them away. They murdered my cousin, my nephew and my classmates. Someday soon they will start murdering people in this country. ISIS wants to drive all Christians from the Middle East. Obama has to act before the whole region turns to fire, another protester claimed. What do you think of the protest?

2	Sadie Robertson Forced To Do THIS After Major Controversy Erupts According to recent reports, Duck Dynasty star Sadie Robertson used her Instagram account to offer a public apology to God for complaining too much. Dear God, today I woke up, the young up-and-comer wrote. Im healthy. Im alive. Im blessed. I apologize for all my complaining. Im truly grateful for all you have done in my life. In the past year, Sadie has become an excellent role model for teenage girls, using her faith as a strong backbone of her morals. She has used her celebrity status to set the way for her young and impressionable followers. Even after being publicly challenged by 17-year-old Kyle Jenner of the The Kardashians, Sadie responded with grace and respect. While many stars her age are promoting sex, she stands behind her Christianity. What do you think? Is Sadie Robertson the type of star you want your children looking up to? 
1	Sunday's episode involving drunken house-party guest Philip Welz was a repeat, guests reported. 'I couldn't bear to watch it again,' Robert Joffe said. 'Sure, some parts, like when Phil pees in front of everyone, or when he pretends to have sex with the pets, are sort of entertaining the second time around, but on the whole, it was pretty tough to sit through twice.' Joffe left the party early in order to avoid the episode's final moments, when Welz pukes on himself and passes out. 
1	A frank discussion of dating gave Elizabeth Kurden and her 15-year-old daughter Claire an opportunity to discuss the failings of husband and father James Monday. Kurden discusses life, love, and the shortcomings of her husband with daughter Claire. 'You're too young to be dating a boy so seriously,' Kurden said to Claire. 'I don't want you to get in over your head. Look at me. I married your father when I was 20. He was so sweet then. I had no idea how much things change when you settle down.' 'Mom, isn't how you feel about someone all that matters?' Claire said. 'Troy is really cool, and he wouldn't ask me to do anything I wasn't ready to do. Don't make me suffer just because Dad never wants to do anything but sit and watch football all weekend.' No topic is too large or too small for the Kurden women to discuss, nor is any topic so far removed from the family patriarch that he can't be brought into the conversation and disparaged. 'Right now, some boys might seem attractive because they have the right clothes or the right haircut, but don't get fooled by that,' Kurden said. 'If you pick someone who has personality and intelligence, instead of someone who looks good in jeans, you'll be much better off. Speaking of jeans, I'll be taking you to the mall today because your father decided it was more important to fix the rototiller than it was to spend time with his daughter.' Even more mundane interactions between Kurden and Claire occasionally devolve into discussions of James and his many irritating flaws. 'The right skin moisturizer might not seem important now, but you need to start taking care of your skin early,' Kurden told Claire on a recent grocery-shopping trip. 'You really have to start when you're young, if you want to look nice when you get to be my age. Your father, on the other hand, seems to have forgotten all about keeping himself up, as I'm sure you've noticed.' 'I've noticed,' Claire said. 'And let's not even discuss those yellow marks on the armpits of his dress shirts,' Kurden said. Claire said she used to consider herself 'Daddy's little girl,' but in recent years, she's grown closer to her mother. Sloppy, insensitive James Kurden. 'Lately, Mom and I have been talking more about life and stuff. We've been a lot more honest with each other,' Claire told reporters. 'Before, if I complained that Dad broke his promise to help me with my homework or something, Mom would say something like, 'Your father is a busy man.' But now, Mom and I talk like friends. Sometimes she really goes off on him.' Between Kurden and Claire, no subject is taboo. 'I feel like I can tell Mom anything,' Claire said. 'I was telling her how it ticks me off when boys stop talking to you after you tell them you like them. Then, Mom told me how Dad used to tease her about her butt being too big until finally one day, she went nuts and threw a lamp at him.' Psychologist Anthony Wieland, author of Divided Parents, Conquered, said bonding over the shortcomings of a fellow family member is common. 'As happens with mothers and daughters all over the country, Claire and Elizabeth's talks bring them closer together, and allow the elder Kurden to pass on life wisdom,' Wieland said. 'How else would Claire learn how idiotic men can be sometimes?' According to Wieland, husbands and sons bond in a similar manner. However, because men are less likely to verbalize their feelings, the teaching of life lessons and gender roles often takes place through role modeling. 'A man is less likely to openly discuss his spouse with his son,' Wieland said. 'Instead, he'll act out his feelings. If, for example, a father is interrupted in the middle of the Raiders game with some stupid question, he'll cast an unmistakably annoyed and condescending glare at his bitch wife. Then, leaving this expression in place, he'll turn so his son can see it. It's basically the same thing.'

Trollboy! Speaking of faith in goofy superstitions, check out Christianity. These are not red terrorists. You and those like you are terrorists if you even know what that word means.. This is their sacred land, and under our Constitution, it is untouchable. Im sure you wouldnt care if a pipeline passed through your sacred land. If there is anything sacred to you. All Americans should join this effort. 320 MILLION HAVE OVER 380 MILLION LICENSED GUNS. YES, THEY SHOULD JOIN! How sad that the American Indian is still under attack by the Govt. of the USA, this is the same govt. that wanted so badly to destroy the American Indian, that they tried to eliminate the entire Bison population to do it. How sad today this same govt. tells you it wishes to protect animals LOL. How sad that this same USA govt. Is now attacking just about all living in the USA and almost around the world.

2	Megyn Kelly Fires Back, Makes Massive Announcement About Donald Trump [VIDEO] Megyn Kelly has been a major source of controversy after she publicly went after Donald Trump during the GOP debates. Not surprisingly, this has turned out to be a huge mistake for her, and shes definitely feeling the backlash. The American public has taken it upon themselves to make sure that she will never host a debate again, signing a petition to seal her fate. On Monday nights episode of The Kelly File, Megyn decided to respond to Trumps comments following the debate. Trump, who is the frontrunner, will not apologize, Kelly told viewers, standing behind her position. And I will certainly not apologize for good journalism. Im sure hell get over it and well be fine and so will America, Kelly continued. Im a big girl, I can handle it. My job is not to feel passionately about these candidates. My job is to go out there and ask probing questions that are hopefully smart and that help the people learn something about this person. Watch Kellys comments below and tell us what you think. Do you stand behind Kelly or Trump? 
3	House Quietly Passes Three Cybersecurity Billsselfnews Post NCCIPA directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to coordinate with federal, state and local government entities and, most notably, private entities and critical infrastructure owners and operators to perform numerous cybersecurity improvement tasks. Those tasks include facilitating information sharing, developing resiliency strategies and providing cyber incident response. The bill, introduced by House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX), Ranking Member Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Subcommittee Chairman Patrick Meehan (R-PA) and Subcommittee Ranking Member Yvette Clarke (D-NY), also recognizes the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center, a subdivision of DHS established in 2009, as the interface for sharing real-time cyber threat information. CIRDA aims to enhance cybersecurity research and development, requiring the Secretary to submit to Congress (1) a strategic plan to guide the overall direction of federal physical security and cybersecurity technology research and development efforts for protecting critical infrastructure and (2) a report on the Departments utilization of public-private research and development consortiums for accelerating technology development for critical infrastructure protection, both of which must be updated every two years. Finally, the Boots-on-the-Ground Act requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to classify and evaluate the individuals performing cybersecurity-related duties, identify weaknesses in the workforce, and develop a workforce strategy including a recruitment plan, 5-year implementation plan, and 10-year projection of needs. Chairman McCaul noted that one of the primary purposes of the collective legislation was to address the pre-9/11 mindset when it comes to cybersecurity.2 Specifically, Chairman McCaul noted that an attack on the nations oil and gas pipelines [or] power grids . . . could cause crippling economic damage and could even cost lives. Furthermore, DHS has acknowledged both that [t]he reliance of virtually all industries on electric power and fuels means that all sectors have some dependence on the Energy Sector, and that [m]ore than 80 percent of the countrys energy infrastructure is owned by the private sector.3 Thus, it is significant that these House bills (1) recognize Energy as a critical infrastructure sector and (2) aim to utilize public-private sector cooperation to improve the nations cybersecurity. Also, the proponents of the bills contend that they strike the right balance between security and privacy concerns. While any bill that requires information sharing, especially among government and private sector entities, will likely raise privacy concerns, Rep. Meehan was quick to note that these bills have received support from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) as both pro-privacy and pro-security.4 The ACLU has previously supported the idea that from a transparency perspective, among the various federal agencies, DHS is best suited to handle cybersecurity issues.5 This report first appeared on JDSupra.comwhere sources can be found.

2	Muslim Terror Group Threaten Ben Carson, But He Is Absolutely Refusing To BACK DOWN Dr. Ben Carson found himself in the middle of a heated debate after making comments about whether a Muslim president was a good idea for the United States of America. Over the weekend, Carson commented that he does not believe that the Islamic religion is compatible with what America stands for. Mr. Carson clearly does not understand or care about the Constitution, which states that no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office, CAIR national executive director Nihad Awad said in a comment. We call on our nations political leadersacross the political spectrumto repudiate these unconstitutional and un-American statements and for Mr. Carson to withdraw from the presidential race. During his interview with NBCs Chuck Todd, Carson was asked whether he believes a presidents faith should matter. Well, I guess it depends on what that faith is, he responded. If its inconsistent with the values and principles of America, then of course it should matter. But if it fits within the realm of America and is consistent with the Constitutionno problem. What do you think? Do you agree with Carsons comments? 
1	Local submissive Jack Traden announced Monday that his dominatrix, Mistress Varla of DV8, seems to have more on her mind than his humiliation. Mistress Varla hasnt been herself lately, Traden said. Last week, she commanded me to lick her boots clean, but when I finished, she just stared off into space. When she finally noticed I was waiting, she ordered me into the cage for no reason, Traden continued. Whats the point? Usually, before she puts me into the cage, she scolds me about how bad Ive been or tells me that I need to learn a lesson. If shes punishing me for doing a bad job on her boots, I need to know that. It wasnt humiliating, just confusing. Traden cited other examples of Mistress Varlas recent distraction. The whippingits all over the place, Traden said. I dont know whether shes trying to whip my ass or my elbows. Its just not the same getting flogged by someone whos barely paying attention. And her ordering-around has been totally indecisive. Added Traden: Ive seen her like this beforelast year, when she lost her job at the bank. Especially worrisome to Traden, however, is Mistress Varlas sudden inability to tie the simplest of bondage knots. When I first started seeing Mistress Varla, you can bet if she bound me to a rack I was staying there, Traden said. Lately, the leather knots are either so loose that they come undone or so tight I get no circulation. I love it when she makes me suffer, but I dont want to lose a limb. Traden then related what he termed the saddest example of Mistress Varlas recent lack of attention to his humiliation needs. [Mistress Varla] slapped a collar around my neck and started walking me around her basement like a dog, Traden said. Usually, the collar is on nice and snug, but this time it started to slip right off. I felt bad for her, so I tried holding it on with my chin while I was crawling around, but she caught me. Man, she beat the holy hell out of me for that, which normally would be great, but in this case it seemed like she was just upset with herself for making a rookie mistake. Who wants a dominatrix with confidence issues? Also unsettling to Traden is the sloppiness of Mistress Varlas appearance. When I walk into her dungeon, Mistress Varla is usually the very image of sleek menace, Traden said. Lately, though, her boots are all scuffed and there are runs in her black stockings. Last week, I noticed shed even incorrectly tied her leather corset. I wouldve mentioned it, but Mistress demands that I put in my ball gag before I arrive. Traden said he is also disappointed with the state of Mistress Varlas torture chamber. A month and a half ago, that place was spotless, he said. The floor was so clean you could eat off of it, and believe me, I would know. Now, instead of looking like her slaves scrubbed it with toothbrushes, its just another mildewy basement with a dust-covered iron maiden. Traden said he has no idea why Mistress Varla seems so distant, but noted that he is unlikely to find out. To ask about her personal life would be an inappropriate breach of the B&D code, Traden said. But that doesnt mean Im not worried about her. Shes very special to me, but if I told her that, she probably wouldnt put me on the spanking rack for a long time. Although he could find a new dominatrix, Traden said he believes in loyalty. Ive been with Mistress Varla too long to call it quits, Traden said. Theres a bond that would be difficult to reproduce. When Im under her boot, it feels like a second home to me. When shes focused, theres no one in the world who can make me feel more like a worm than she can. In spite of this praise, Traden said he cant keep paying top dollar for second-rate domination. I like to be debased, but Im no chump, Traden said. I might have to take a break from being her chattel while she gets her head together. After a little break, Im sure before you know it Ill be lashed to the floor, covered in hot wax, and happier than ever. 
2	Tim Tebow Receives Devastating News, He Needs Your Support Now More Than Ever According to recent reports, the Philadelphia Eagles just dropped quarterback Tim Tebow from their roster on Saturday, putting the nail in the coffin in the attempt to come back to the NFL. Tebow handled the situation with composure and grace. Thanks Eagle and Coach Kelly for giving me the opportunity to play the game I love! Romans 8:28 #Blessed Tebow tweeted. The Bible verse he cited reads: And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Of course, Tebow and his fans were shocked about the decision. In fact, his position on the team seemed to be almost a sure thing, given that he threw multiple touchdown passes in the preseason. Although Tebow will not continue with the Eagles, he does have the chance of being picked up by another team as a free agent. Do you support Tebow? 
3	Transcendence and DARPAs Restoring Active MemoryTony Cartalucci The US Department of Defenses Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency or DARPA, has announced its Restoring Active Memory (RAM) project which intends to develop a prosthetic for the brain to record and store memories for those with degenerative neurological conditions such as Alzheimers disease or victims of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Science Daily in its article, DARPA taps Lawrence Livermore to develop worlds first neural device to restore memory, reported: Threats and Opportunities For starters, the digitization of our neurology opens the doors to all the threats and opportunities that befall or benefit existing digital devices, including those connected to the Internet. Collaboration, control, viruses, hacking, surveillance, exponential intellectual progress, personal empowerment, and even human-drones are all in the cards. And while a climatic and apocalyptic war with the machines lingers menacingly in the back of our collective minds, what if devices like that which DARPA is developing led to man merging with machines instead? There would be no war with machines, we would be the machines. In this context, we face two possible futures: one like that portrayed in science fiction films like Terminator or The Matrix where humans hide amid the ruins of their onceproud civilization fighting a desperate resistance against far superior machines that turned on them, or a future like that portrayed in the Japanese anime films and series, Ghost in the Shell. In the latter, the lines are blurred between man and machine and a tenuous balance of power is maintained throughout human civilization, between extremes of both organic and cybernetic natures. With advances like that announced by DARPA, the latter scenario is the most likely one. A merge between man and machine is the most likely scenario whomever controls cybernetic technology, however, will determine how utopian or dystopian our future will be. Currently, DARPA and other corporate-financier monopolies control this research and technology, while they monopolize other realms of scientific progress including molecular biology, genetic engineering, and information technology. This power in such few hands is surely a recipe for disaster at least for those without access or say in how the technology is used or in other words for the vast majority of us. A consumerist paradigm that has neurological implants tied to our information technology infrastructure would lead to abuses that would make the NSAs current overreaching authority look placid in comparison. It could also transform our militarys abilities into the most effective and most horrifying of both human and drone combat. Instead, this technology must be democratized, opened up, and disseminated across society. People to be fully free and in charge of their destiny must not focus on democracy and civil literacy, but rather on technological literacy, as it is technology that forms the foundation upon which modern society is built and controlled. If we want a say in this modern, technological society, we must understand how it works currently such an understanding lies in so few hands. We will not un-invent neurological implants that expand the landscapes in which our minds may occupy. We can either choose to boldly embrace and take control of such technology, or cower and complain as others leverage this technology against us to cement an ever expanding disparity between their domination of humanity, and our subservient futility under their dominion.

2	13 Year Old Boy Shoots And Kills Burglar According to recent reports, a 13-year-old South Carolina boy was able to thwart an attempted burglary on his home. The brave little boy was able to shot a kill the robber using his mothers gun. Police have not identified the boy, but they did report that he was able to shoot 31-year-old Lamar Brown after he and 28-year-old Ira Bennett attempted to break into the Ladson home. The boy was reportedly home alone and was suspicious of a vehicle that pulled up behind the house. When he realized that a man was trying to break in, he grabbed his mothers pistol and started firing. Brown reportedly shot back at the boy before fleeing in a car with Bennett, who dropped him off at the medical center. He was suffering from three gunshot wounds. Brown later died at the Trident Medical Center, Charleston County Chief Deputy Coroner Bobbi Jo ONeal told reporters. Bennett, meanwhile, was arrested and charged with first degree burglary and possession of a weapon. I tell my kids that if anything ever happens to call 911, but I also tell them to protect themselves if they have to, the boys mother told reporters. I never would have dreamed that this would have been a part of our day. What do you think? Do stories like these enforce the importance of our Second Amendment rights? 
3	Deadly Effects of Cell Phones and How to Reduce ThemMark DeNicola Here is what we do know, radio-frequency is a form of electromagnetic radiation (EMR). EMR is a wave-like energy that is emitted and absorbed by charged particles. In the case of a cell phone, the phone emits the EMR (in the form of radio-frequency) and the human operating it absorbs it. EMR can be classified into one of two categories: (1) Ionizing the more powerful of the two, (2) Non-Ionizing the less powerful and lower frequency. Radio-frequency has been identified as being a part of the non-ionizing variety. That being the case, the harm it may or may not inflict cannot be as detrimental as certain ionizing EMRs such as X-rays and radiation therapy both of which are recognized by the National Cancer Institute as being capable of increasing the risk of cancer. Despite being non-ionizing, several studies have arisen further examining the impact radio-frequency can have on us. One particular study conducted in May 2011 by 31 scientists from 14 different countries at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), concluded that radio-frequency was possibly carcinogenic to humans. Despite only receiving a possible conclusion, several of the scientists involved admitted that the evidence was strong enough to warrant that a close watch be kept between cell phone usage and cancer risk. You can read the entire press release from the study HERE. In the case that cell phones are ever concluded to in fact be carcinogenic then the unwanted effects they could have on the human body would be near endless. Cardiovascular, dermal, developmental and immunological are just the beginning of the areas in the human body drastically effected by the intake of carcinogens. In another series of studies, radio-frequency has also been linked to aiding in the development of brain tumors, particularly in children. One particular study conducted at the rebro Hospita in Sweden identified that 10 years of cell phone use resulted in an average 290% increased risk of brain tumor development. Children in particular were identified as being the greatest at risk because they have smaller brains, a lower skull bone density, a less effective blood-brain barrier and more connective tissue making them capable of absorbing up to 3 times as much radiation as an adult. Whether cell phone radiation is severely harmful to us or not, there are several precautionary measures that we can take to either limit or combat the impact. Here are some of the ones that I came across, be sure to add any others that you may know in the comment section of the article: Headset/ Earphones The logic behind this suggestion is quite simple, keep the device (cell phone) emitting the radio-frequency as far away from your head and other vital organs as possible. This can be particularly helpful for those whose livelihood/ work simply depends on the regular use of a cell phone. Add a Proven Radiation Mitigating Substance to Your Diet Bee propolis, melatonin, green tea polyphenol and ginkgo biloba are just a number of the supplements/ substances recognized to help mitigate the effects of radiation on the human body. Before incorporating any of these into your regular diet I of course suggest consulting with a health care professional to discover the best way for you. Sacred Geometry An alternative approach is the placement of a Sacred Geometry EMF protector on your phone. These protectors use sacred geometric mandalas that vibrate in resonance with universal systems of healing to mitigate electromagnetic field radiation. These can even be found and printed for free at home by simply googling sacred geometry. As of 2010 there were over 300 million cell phone subscribers in the United States alone, so whether you find the above information conclusive enough or not it is definitely worth looking into. Let this article be the starting point for your own research into the effects of radio-frequency.

2	Dolly Parton Receives Devastating News, Moved To The Hospital Immediately New reports have circulated that legendary singer Dolly Parton may have been diagnosed with stomach cancer. Although the rumors were not confirmed, the 69-year-old singer was spotted going in and out of the hospital in the last few weeks, and fans were worried. However, Parton decided to come forward with the real reason she was in the hospital. It is true that I had kidney stones, Parton told reporters. I had them removed three weeks ago and I am doing just fine! I am back to work and last week I was at Dollywood filming parts for my new movie Coat of Many Colors. I love and appreciate everyones concern. What do you think? Are you relieved to hear that Parton is fully recovering? 
3	US Pivot Toward Asia Trips in MalaysiaTony Cartalucci Wall Street and Londons hegemonic ambitions in Asia, centered around installing proxy regimes across Southeast Asia and using the supranational ASEAN bloc to encircle and contain China, suffered a serious blow this week when Western-proxy and Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahims party lost in general elections. While Anwar Ibrahims opposition party, Pakatan Rakyat (PR) or Peoples Alliance, attempted to run on an anti-corruption platform, its campaign instead resembled verbatim attempts by the West to subvert governments politically around the world, including most recently in Venezuela, and in Russia in 2012. Just as in Russia where so-called independent election monitor GOLOS turned out to be fully funded by the US State Department through the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), Malaysias so-called election monitor, the Merdeka Center for Opinion Research, is likewise funded directly by the US through NED. Despite this, Western media outlets, in pursuit of promoting the Western-backed Peoples Alliance, has repeatedly referred to Merdeka as independent. The BBC in its article, Malaysia election sees record turnout, lays out the well-rehearsed cries of stolen elections used by the West to undermine the legitimacy of polls it fears its proxy candidates may lose with the US-funded Merdeka Center cited in attempts to bolster these claims. Their foreign funding and compromised objectivity is never mentioned (emphasis added): Allegations of election fraud surfaced before the election. Some of those who voted in advance told BBC News that indelible ink supposed to last for days easily washed off. The indelible ink can be washed off easily, with just water, in a few seconds, one voter, Lo, told BBC News from Skudai. Another voter wrote: Marked with indelible ink and voted at 10:00. Have already cleaned off the ink by 12:00. If I was also registered under a different name and ID number at a neighbouring constituency, I would be able to vote again before 17:00! The opposition has also accused the government of funding flights for supporters to key states, which the government denies. Independent pollster Merdeka Center has received unconfirmed reports of foreign nationals being given IDs and allowed to vote. The ties between Anwar Ibrahims Peoples Alliance and the US State Department dont end with the Merdeka Center, but continue into the oppositions street movement, Bersih. Claiming to fight for clean and fair elections, Bersih in reality is a vehicle designed to mobilize street protests on behalf of Anwars opposition party. Bersihs alleged leader, Ambiga Sreenevasan, has admitted herself that her organization has received cash directly from the United States via the National Endowment for Democracys National Democratic Institute (NDI), and convicted criminal George Soros Open Society. The Malaysian Insider reported on June 27, 2011 that Bersih leader Ambiga Sreenevassan: admitted to Bersih receiving some money from two US organisations the National Democratic Institute (NDI) and Open Society Institute (OSI) for other projects, which she stressed were unrelated to the July 9 march. A visit to the NDI website revealed indeed that funding and training had been provided by the US organization before NDI took down the information and replaced it with a more benign version purged entirely of any mention of Bersih. For funding Ambiga claims is innocuous, the NDIs rushed obfuscation of any ties to her organization suggests something far more sinister at play. Photo: NDIs website before taking down any mention to Malaysias Bersih movement. (click image to enlarge) The substantial, yet carefully obfuscated support the West has lent Anwar should be of no surprise to those familiar with Anwars history. That Anwar Ibrahim himself was Chairman of the Development Committee of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 1998, held lecturing positions at the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, was a consultant to the World Bank, and a panelist at the Neo-Con lined National Endowment for Democracys Democracy Award and a panelist at a NED donation ceremony the very same US organization funding and supporting Bersih and so-called independent election monitor Merdeka paints a picture of an opposition running for office in Malaysia, not for the Malaysian people, but clearly for the corporate financier interests of Wall Street and London. Photo: Taken from the US National Endowment for Democracys 2007 Democracy Award event held in Washington D.C., Anwar Ibrahim can be seen to the far left and participated as a panelist. It is no surprise that NED is now subsidizing his bid to worm his way back into power in Malaysia. (click image to enlarge) As Bersih predictably mobilizes in the streets on behalf of Anwars opposition party in the wake of their collective failure during Malaysias 2013 general elections, it is important for Malaysians to understand the true nature of the Western organizations funding their attempts to politically undermine the ruling party and divide Malaysians against each other, and exactly why this is being done in the greater context of US hegemony in Asia. Anwar Bersihs US State Department Backers The US State Departments NED and NDI are most certainly not benevolent promoters of democracy and freedom. A quick look at NEDs board of directors reveals a milieu of corporate-fascists and warmongers: Some select members include: The average Malaysian, disenfranchised with the ruling government as they may be, cannot possibly believe these people are funding and propping up clearly disingenuous NGOs in direct support of a compromised Anwar Ibrahim, for the best interests of Malaysia. The end game for the US with an Anwar Ibrahim/Peoples Alliance-led government, is a Malaysia that capitulates to both US free trade schemes and US foreign policy. In Malaysias case, this will leave the extensive economic independence achieved since escaping out from under British rule, gutted, while the nations resources are steered away from domestic development and toward a proxy confrontation with China, just as is already being done in Korea, Japan, and the Philippines. Image: Lemuel Gulliver on the island of Lilliput, having been overtaken while asleep by ropes and stakes by the diminutive but numerous Lilliputians. Western corporate-financier interests envision organizing Southeast Asia into a supranational bloc, ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations), to use the smaller nations as a combined front to tie down China in a similar manner. Unlike in the story Gullivers Travels, China may well break free of its binds and stomp the Lilliputian leaders flat for their belligerence. The present world order serves the needs of the United States and its allies, which constructed it. And it is poorly suited to the needs of a Chinese dictatorship trying to maintain power at home and increase its clout abroad. Chinese leaders chafe at the constraints on them and worry that they must change the rules of the international system before the international system changes them. Here, Kagan openly admits that the world order, or the international order, is simply American-run global hegemony, dictated by US interests. These interests, it should be kept in mind, are not those of the American people, but of the immense corporate-financier interests of the Anglo-American establishment. Kagan continues (emphasis added): In truth, the debate over whether we should or should not contain China is a bit silly. We are already containing China not always consciously and not entirely successfully, but enough to annoy Chinese leaders and be an obstacle to their ambitions. When the Chinese used military maneuvers and ballistic-missile tests last March to intimidate Taiwanese voters, the United States responded by sending the Seventh Fleet. By this show of force, the U.S. demonstrated to Taiwan, Japan, and the rest of our Asian allies that our role as their defender in the region had not diminished as much as they might have feared. Thus, in response to a single Chinese exercise of muscle, the links of containment became visible and were tightened. The new China hands insist that the United States needs to explain to the Chinese that its goal is merely, as [Robert] Zoellick writes, to avoid the domination of East Asia by any power or group of powers hostile to the United States. Our treaties with Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, and Australia, and our naval and military forces in the region, aim only at regional stability, not aggressive encirclement. But the Chinese understand U.S. interests perfectly well, perhaps better than we do. While they welcome the U.S. presence as a check on Japan, the nation they fear most, they can see clearly that Americas military and diplomatic efforts in the region severely limit their own ability to become the regions hegemon. According to Thomas J. Christensen, who spent several months interviewing Chinese military and civilian government analysts, Chinese leaders worry that they will play Gulliver to Southeast Asias Lilliputians, with the United States supplying the rope and stakes. What Kagan is talking about is maintaining American preeminence across all of Asia and producing a strategy of tension to divide and limit the power of any single player vis-a-vis Wall Street and Londons hegemony. Kagan would continue (emphasis added): The changes in the external and internal behavior of the Soviet Union in the late 1980s resulted at least in part from an American strategy that might be called integration through containment and pressure for change. Such a strategy needs to be applied to China today. As long as China maintains its present form of government, it cannot be peacefully integrated into the international order. For Chinas current leaders, it is too risky to play by our rules yet our unwillingness to force them to play by our rules is too risky for the health of the international order. The United States cannot and should not be willing to upset the international order in the mistaken belief that accommodation is the best way to avoid a confrontation with China. We should hold the line instead and work for political change in Beijing. That means strengthening our military capabilities in the region, improving our security ties with friends and allies, and making clear that we will respond, with force if necessary, when China uses military intimidation or aggression to achieve its regional ambitions. It also means not trading with the Chinese military or doing business with firms the military owns or operates. And it means imposing stiff sanctions when we catch China engaging in nuclear proliferation. Kagans talk of responding to Chinas expansion is clearly manifested today in a series of proxy conflicts growing between US-backed Japan, and the US-backed Philippines, and to a lesser extent between North and South Korea, and even beginning to show in Myanmar. The governments of these nations have capitulated to US interests and their eagerness to play the role of Americas proxies in the region, even at their own cost, is not a surprise. To expand this, however, the US fully plans on integrating Southeast Asia, installing proxy regimes, and likewise turning their resources and people against China. In 2011, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton unveiled the capstone to Kagans 1997 conspiracy. She published in Foreign Policy magazine, a piece titled, Americas Pacific Century where she explicitly states: In the next 10 years, we need to be smart and systematic about where we invest time and energy, so that we put ourselves in the best position to sustain our leadership, secure our interests, and advance our values. One of the most important tasks of American statecraft over the next decade will therefore be to lock in a substantially increased investment diplomatic, economic, strategic, and otherwise in the Asia-Pacific region. To sustain our leadership, secure our interests, and advance our values, are clearly hegemonic statements, and indicates that the US goal for substantially increased investment, including buying off NGOs and opposition parties in Malaysia, seeks to directly serve US leadership, interests, and values, not within US borders, but outside them, and specifically across all of Asia. Clinton continues: At a time when the region is building a more mature security and economic architecture to promote stability and prosperity, U.S. commitment there is essential. It will help build that architecture and pay dividends for continued American leadership well into this century, just as our post-World War II commitment to building a comprehensive and lasting transatlantic network of institutions and relationships has paid off many times over and continues to do so. The architecture referred to is the supranational ASEAN bloc and again Clinton confirms that the US commitment to this process is designed not to lift up Asia, but to maintain its own hegemony across the region, and around the world. Clinton then openly admits that the US seeks to exploit Asias economic growth: Harnessing Asias growth and dynamism is central to American economic and strategic interests and a key priority for President Obama. Open markets in Asia provide the United States with unprecedented opportunities for investment, trade, and access to cutting-edge technology. Our economic recovery at home will depend on exports and the ability of American firms to tap into the vast and growing consumer base of Asia. Of course, the purpose of an economy is to meet the needs of those who live within it. The Asian economy therefore ought to serve the needs and interests of Asians not a hegemonic empire on the other side of the Pacific. Clintons piece could easily double as a declaration by Englands King George and his intentions toward emptying out the New World. And no empire is complete without establishing a permanent military garrison on newly claimed territory. Clinton explains (emphasis added): With this in mind, our work will proceed along six key lines of action: strengthening bilateral security alliances; deepening our working relationships with emerging powers, including with China; engaging with regional multilateral institutions; expanding trade and investment; forging a broad-based military presence; and advancing democracy and human rights. And of course, by advancing democracy and human rights, Clinton means the continuation of funding faux-NGOs that disingenuously leverage human rights and democracy promotion to politically undermine targeted governments in pursuit of installing more obedient proxy regimes. The piece is lengthy, and while a lot of readers may be tempted to gloss over some of the uglier, overtly imperial aspects of Clintons statement, the proof of Americas true intentions in Asia can be seen clearly manifested today, with the intentional encouragement of provocations between North and South Korea, an expanding confrontation between China and US proxies, Japan and the Philippines, and with mobs taking to the streets in Malaysia in hopes of overturning an election US-proxy Anwar Ibrahim had no chance of winning. Clean and Fair Elections? While the battle cry for Anwar Ibrahim, his Peoples Alliance, and Bersih have been clean and fair elections, in reality, allegations of fraud began long before the elections even started. This was not because Anwars opposition party had evidence of such fraud instead, this was to implant the idea into peoples minds long before the elections, deeply enough to justify claims of stolen elections no matter how the polls eventually turned out. At one point during the elections, before ballots were even counted, Anwar Ibrahim declared victory a move that analysts across the region noted was provocative, dangerous, and incredibly irresponsible. Again, there could not have been any evidence that Anwar won, because ballots had not yet been counted. It was again a move meant to manipulate the public and set the stage for contesting Anwars inevitable loss in the streets with mobs and chaos in typical Western-backed color revolution style. One must seriously ask themselves, considering Anwars foreign backers, those backers own stated intentions for Asia, and Anwars irresponsible, baseless claims before, during, and after the elections what is clean and fair about any of this? Anwar Ibrahim is a fraud, an overt proxy of foreign interests. His satellite NGOs, including the insidious Bersih movement openly funded by foreign corporate-financier interests, and the equally insidious polling NGO Merdeka who portrays itself as independent despite being funded directly by a foreign government, are likewise frauds drawing in well-intentioned people through slick marketing, just as cigarette companies do. And like cigarette companies who sell what is for millions essentially a slow, painful, humiliating death sentence that will leave one broken financially and spiritually before ultimately outright killing them, Anwars US-backed opposition is also selling Malaysia a slow, painful, humiliating death. Unfortunately, also like cigarettes, well-intentioned but impressionable people have not gathered all of the facts, and have instead have based their support on only the marketing, gimmicks, slogans, and tricks of a well-oiled, manipulative political machine. For that folly, Malaysia may pay a heavy price one day but for Anwar and his opposition party today, they have lost the elections, and the cheap veneer of Americas democracy promotion racket is quickly peeling away. For now, America has tripped in mid-pivot toward its hegemonic agenda in Asia, with Malaysias ruling government providing a model for other nations in the region to follow, should they be interested in sovereignty and independent progress no matter how flawed or slow it may be.

1	Despite being the beneficiary of numerous societal advantages and having faced little to no major adversity throughout his life, local man Travis Benton has spent the last four years squandering his white male privilege on a sales floor job at Best Buy, sources confirmed Tuesday. You can get by with a regular HDMI cable, but if youre looking at a length longer than 10 feet, Id go with a gold-tipped one, said the man dressed in a bright blue polo shirt and pin-on name tag as he continued to fritter away such innate life advantages as greater access to higher education, leniency from the justice system, and favorable treatment from other white males who lead and make hiring decisions at a disproportionately high number of American companies. The AudioQuest gold-tip is actually the cable I use in my own home entertainment center and it provides excellent audio and video clarity, plus it comes with a full five-year warranty, unlike the 90-day warranty of a bargain brand. For your money, youre not going to find a better cable. At press time, the man born into the worlds most affluent and privileged socioeconomic group was spending his 15-minute break silently consuming a sleeve of Donettes purchased out of a vending machine. 
2	BREAKING: Obama Exempts His Daughters From THIS Major Law You Will Be Sick According to recent reports, President Obama has turned his focus to the new common core standardized tests. The tests are used to rank students across the country, and are also used as a system for grading teachers as well. However, some argue that the tests do not accurately capture a students knowledge of required material, and many parents have spoken out against the system. If you make the decision to send your children to private school, as the Obamas did, your children will be exempt from taking the test. The price tag, of course, is steep. Malia and Sasha attend the Sidwell Friends School, which costs a whopping $35,000 a year in tuition. Essentially, President Obama is busy pushing tests that his children will never take, while his wife pushes a lunch plan her children will never consume.

Oh, hey, what's this? said Dunbar, who abruptly stopped scrolling and then quickly navigated away from reports on raging global conflicts, landmark Supreme Court decisions, and revolutionary scientific breakthroughs to instead learn more about the fry-shaped chicken-based snack. Huh, wow. Theyre back. At press time, Dunbar was reportedly clicking on a second article about the same subject. 
2	Dem. Senator Elizabeth Warren Throws Hillary Under The Bus... Its Over For Her Senator Elizabeth Warren has been waiting to give our her endorsement for the Democratic candidate. Although she didnt name her choice, yesterday she threw Hillary under the bus. She tweeted, The next president can honor the simple notion that nobody is above the law, but it will happen only if voters demand it. This attack was clearly directed at Hillary, and the post went viral on social media. Here are some of the reactions to the post: This is too perfect. @SenWarren just called for Hillarys indictment. @SenWarren so you endorse sending @HillaryClinton to the slammer?? The list goes on and on. Some people are even predicting that Sen. Warren will jump into the race herself. Either way, this is a huge hit to the Clinton campaign. If Sanders wins the nomination, it will be a huge win for Republicans. Do you think Hillary should be put in prison? 
3	Albuquerque, New Mexico Halts Water FluoridationPatrick Gallagher The city of Albuquerque, New Mexico has made the auspicious decision to effectively end all artificial water fluoridation within the citys water supply. It was reported first by local news authority, KOB news channel 4, earlier this month that the city, in order to save money and consequently save the over half million local population from the many detrimental effects of fluoride in the water supply, had removed the addition entirely. Though many residents are concerned about the potential for increased amount of tooth decay (which fluoride has been shown to be ineffective against), this is a major victory for people convinced that the hazardous byproduct of fertilizer is an unhealthy, worthless toxin. Many of the citizens, however, do not realize that the fluoride in the water supply isnt even what actually benefits the genesis of our bone structure. Fluoride exists solely as a method of preventing tooth decay, but is there really a benefit to even reap? The answer, in short, is no; recent studies have gone to show that the fluoride used to medicate the masses is actually a very serious health risk. Fluoride is also a known mutagen, or something that virulently mutates the DNA, leading to cancer. In 1977, it was even shown that water fluoridation caused about 10,000 cancer deaths in epidemiological studies by Dr. Dean Burk, former head of the Cytochemistry Section at the National Cancer Institute and Yiamouyiannis. This may be only the beginning of the crusade that will create a wave of knowledge amongst our fellow citizens, and the war is merely beginning at this point the major victory here is that at least some legislative higher powers understand the dangers of fluoride. The CDC and EPA are even taking time to re-evaluate the necessity of fluoride, potentially lowering the levels of it across the country. As a citizen of Albuquerque myself, this comes as not only a massive surprise to me, but also sustains and validates a cause I have been passionate about for years now. Though the water here is not entirely fluoride free, it is a step in the right direction, and hopefully will be the beginning of a revolutionary way of thinking across the nation.

3	Another Phony Employment ReportPaul Craig Roberts, Contributor According to the BLS, In September, 2.5 million persons were marginally attached to the labor force. These individuals wanted and were available for work, but they were not counted as unemployed because they had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey. In other words, 2.5 million unemployed Americans were not counted as unemployed. The stock market rose on the phony good news. Bloombergs headline: U.S. Stocks Rise as Unemployment Rate Unexpectedly Drops, http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-05/u-s-stock-futures-little-changed-before-payrolls-report.html . A truer picture of the dire employment situation is provided by the 600,000 rise over the previous month in involuntary part-time workers. According to the BLS, These individuals were working part time because their hours had been cut back or because they were unable to find a full-time job. Turning to the 114,000 new jobs, once again the jobs are concentrated in lowly paid domestic service jobs that cannot be offshored. Manufacturing jobs declined by 16,000. As has been the case for a decade, two categorieshealth care and social assistance (primarily ambulatory health care services) and waitresses and bartenders account for 53% of the new jobs. The BLS never ceases to find ever growing employment of people in restaurants and bars despite the rising dependence of the US population on food stamps. The elderly are rising as a percentage of the American population, but I sometimes wonder if employment in ambulatory health care services is rising faster than the elderly population. Whether these reported jobs are real, I do not know. The high-tech jobs that economists promised would be our reward for offshoring American manufacturing jobs and tradeable professional services, such as software engineering and IT, have never materialized. The New Economy was just another hoax, like Iraqi weapons of mass destruction and Iranian nukes. While employment falters, the consumer price index (CPI-U) in August increased 0.6 percent, the largest since June 2009. If the August rate is annualized, it means bad news on the inflation front. Instead of bringing us high tech jobs, is the New Economy bringing back the stagflation of the late 1970s? Time will tell.

1	Despite broiling temperatures that have plagued the residents of the Midwest and much of the Eastern Seaboard throughout the week, local man and lifelong contrarian Martin Rivers told reporters Thursday that the ongoing heat wave does not in fact bother him. Everyones been complaining about the weather lately, but Ive always liked when it gets nice and hot like this, the aggressively contrary man said of the recent surge of intense heat and humidity that has seen temperatures climb well into the 90s, adding that it feels good to sweat. I like distinct seasons, you know, and I think its nice to have weather extremes every once in a while. I mean, its summer; what do you expect? At press time, those close to Rivers had confirmed that the nonconforming individual was loudly airing his hopes that the intense heat would continue through the weekend. 
2	BREAKING: Trump Makes Massive Announcement About Sarah Palin... This Is A Game Changer Throughout his presidential campaign, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was an outspoken of Donald Trump. Now, with Trump officially on his way to the White House, Palin is speaking out to discuss the role shell play in his government. She also has a message for Hillary Clinton. What they have created, unfortunately, is this message to little girls, young women, that they need Big Daddy Government to provide for them; that theyre incapable of providing for themselves, being independent, and pulling themselves up from the bootstraps and making it, Palin said of the Clinton campaigns attempts to appeal to women. Thats so unfortunate, and its the antithesis, really, of feminism and understanding equal rights, Palin argued. Its just such a ruse. And yeah, Hillarys been a part of that. When asked what role Palin will be playing in the Trump administration, she gave an interesting answer. I told Mr. Trump early on that Im a believer that you dont need a title, and you dont need an office to make a difference, Palin responded. Im sincere. I told him that, and maybe hes taking it absolutely literally, and Im not offered a postwhich, however it goes, is fine with me. I just voted for him to be the leader of the free world, our President, so I trust him to build a team that works for him. Listen to Palins full interview with Breitbart below and tell us what you think. Does she deserve a spot on Trumps cabinet? 
1	During a recording session earlier this week, technicians at ProSound Studios found they were able to obtain a perfectly lush, heady voice-over resonance by hanging actor Donald Sutherland upside down from the railing of an empty staircase. 'We tried lowering him into an old smokestack, but you lose some of the subtlety in his lower register that way,' audio engineer Kevin Coe said as he loosened Mr. Sutherland's leg buckles and eased him down onto the landing. 'Toyota is very specific about the sound they want, and we found that hanging Donald upside down in this staircase and muffling him slightly by stuffing socks into his mouth produced exactly the sort of warm, comforting inflections the client just loves.' Coe said the recordings, which effectively showcased Mr. Sutherlands full, powerful timbre, were some of the best work he's done, though Toyota ultimately decided to go with a more ragged, gravel-toned Gene Hackman voice-over instead. 
2	ISIS Sends Government Video Saying They Will Bomb THESE 7 Cities In The United States Earlier, ISIS claimed they were targeting Washington next, following the 7 attacks in Paris that left 129 people dead. The cities are all in Texas. Here is the list. Abilene, New Braunfels, San Antonio, Wyle, Bedford, Killeen, and Fort Hood. Ben Carson phrased it best when he said that we must eliminate ISIS before they eliminate us. The Department of Defense is claiming that ISIS is full of crap, and they are just trying to scare Americans. However, ISIS needs to be seen as a real threat, as they left 129 dead in Paris just the other day. Obama refuses to take action against ISIS. He is putting American lives in danger. Should he step down from the presidency? 
1	Since leaping over Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard to claim his second NBA dunk title Saturday, 5-foot-9 New York Knicks guard Nate Robinson has apparently dedicated himself to the sole task of jumping over Howard as the 7-footer goes about his daily life. According to Howard, Robinson bounded over him roughly two dozen times on Tuesday alone, most notably while the All-Star center was putting gas in his car, as he was standing in the checkout line at the grocery store, immediately after he woke up in the morning, two minutes later when he was taking a shower, and right afterward as he began to shave. 'I can't do anything without that guy jumping over me,' said Howard, who glanced over his shoulder every few seconds during his press conference Wednesday. 'He's everywhere. When I took my mom to her doctor's appointment last Monday, at church communion, and every time I get off my couch to put in a new DVD. And I watch a lot of DVDs.' 'I don't know where he's coming from or how he's getting into my house, but I' Howard added before he was interrupted by a pair of green shoes and shorts sailing over his head. 'Oh, for Christ's sake.' Following the leap, Robinson recreated his post-dunk celebration, performing a dance step with his right foot while making an odd gliding/flying motion with his arms as Howard watched. 'I don't quite get this,' Howard said. Howard admitted that he had played along when Robinson first started bounding over him in a non-dunk-competition setting, saying that he thought the spectacle was good media fodder for All-Star weekend and that he believed it to be temporary. But that all changed Monday when Howard was trying on pants in the dressing room of an Armani Exchange in downtown Orlando. As Robinson flew overhead, Howard realized the leaping would continue indefinitely, even when there was no one around to notice or record the event, and even though Robinson does not live in Orlando. 'It was eerie,' Howard said. 'We locked eyes after the jump, and Nate just ran off without saying anything. Then he must have exited the store and reentered through the back, because the next thing I knew he was jumping over me again while I looked at belts.' Though the locations and times of Robinson's flights over Howard vary, Howard said he has learned that if he finds himself in a situation in which he is standing up and leaning somewhat forward, there is a good chance Robinson will come from behind and jump over his head, as was the case Monday afternoon at Pirate's Cove Adventure miniature golf course. 'Today I thought it was finally over because Nate hadn't jumped over me oncenot at the cleaners, the skate park, the gym, anywhere,' Howard said. 'Then I sat down to a romantic dinner with my girlfriend and as soon as I stood up to light the candles, he comes flying in, breaks the dishware, and gets baked ziti all over the carpet.' 'It's upsetting,' Howard continued. 'But you know what angers me most? It's that he really isn't jumping over me. His crotch is barely clearing the top of my head, and he is putting his left arm on my back for an extra boost. You people are seeing that, right? You're seeing that I need to lean down so he doesn't bang his waist into the back of my head and fall to the ground and embarrass himself in front of everybody? You saw that I dunked on a fucking 12-foot hoop, right?' According to Howard, Robinson has only hurt himself once. On Wednesday, as the Magic center was unlocking his front door, the Knicks guard apparently flew headfirst into the stained-glass window in the transom above Howard's doorway. 'Where is he?' a concussed Robinson said from the hospital's emergency room. 'I got Superman's kryptonite right here.' Reports indicate that Howard is currently standing up against the safety bar at the edge of Niagara Falls.

1	During a standing-room-only press event at the Bellagio hotel Thursday, renowned linguist, political commentator, and anarcho-syndicalist advocate Noam Chomsky announced an upcoming three-year residency at the luxury resort and casino that is scheduled to begin this April. According to sources, Chomsky will take over a brand-new 5,000-seat venue built specially for the production, which will run six nights a week, with a matinee on Saturday. The two-hour speaking engagement and acrobatics extravaganza, titled Noam Chomskys Hegemony Of Wonder, will reportedly span the highlights of the MIT professor emerituss 60-plusyear career as a social justice activist and outspoken critic of American foreign policy. This mesmerizing spectacle is the culmination of everything Ive worked toward in my life, said the 87-year-old Chomsky, bedecked in one of the sequined cardigans he will wear during the nightly appearances, which will reportedly feature nine total costume changes. Audiences can expect a dazzling laser-light-show lecture on the theory of generative grammar, followed by a rollicking cabaret-style reenactment of my rancorous back-and-forth with Christopher Hitchens in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, plus a medley of my other hits from the 60s through todaynot to mention a few heart-stopping, edge-of-your-seat surprises along the way! And each night, Ill bring one special audience member up on stage to debate me over the illegitimacy of unjustified authority, Chomsky continued. Could it be you? While Chomsky stated that he wrote and designed most of the production himself, he confirmed he had brought on others to assist in its development, working closely with choreographers from Cirque du Soleils Zumanity and Slovenian philosopher and Marxist intellectual Slavoj iek. Bellagio spokespeople teased the performance by offering a few details about the first act, noting that a harnessed Chomsky would be kicking off the show by sweeping dramatically over the crowd riding a radiant LED-covered lectern emblazoned with his large, gleaming initials. Officials noted the opening sequence would be followed by a dramatic aqua fantasy experience exploring humans inborn language acquisition device, before segueing into a 45-minute reading of key passages from Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy Of The Mass Media. Whether youre a diehard Chomsky fan or new to his libertarian socialist ideology, there will be something in this show for absolutely everyone, said Bellagio events coordinator Rachel OBrien. And be on the lookout for Orwell, Mr. Chomskys albino peacock co-star! According to the resorts website, the show is already completely sold out for the next several months, with some tickets being listed through intermediary vendors for many times their face value. Im so excitedIve been into Chomsky since college, said 49-year-old Boise, ID social worker Karen Wenning, who is planning a trip to Las Vegas next month to see the social critics lavish new production. Itll be incredible to hear him denounce transnational corporate power live and in person. I just really hope he does some of his early stuff from American Power And The New Mandarins and Counter-Revolutionary Violence: Bloodbaths In Fact And Propaganda. That stuff is classic. At press time, Bellagio representatives said the premiere had been pushed back two weeks after Chomsky was injured rehearsing a sequence in which he performs an aerial silk routine while demonstrating how formal syntax can explain the ability of people to produce and interpret an infinite number of novel utterances within a finite set of rules and terms. 
1	With the nation safely distracted by the NBA playoffs, Congress passed the terrifying Citizenship Redefinition And Income-Based Relocation Act of 2003 with little opposition Monday. Dallas Mavericks fans cheer on their team while Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (left) announced the passage of the terrifying new law. 'This piece of legislation is essential, both for more efficient implementation of the New American Ideal and to give law enforcement the broad discretionary powers necessary to enforce certain vital civil and behavioral mandates,' said U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), addressing an empty press room Sunday, midway through game four of the NBA Eastern Conference finals. 'We are confident that Americans will embrace this law, should they eventually realize it has been passed.' H.R. 2395 was introduced to Congress on May 15 during the fourth quarter of the San Antonio Spurs' 110-82 victory over the defending-champion Los Angeles Lakers in the deciding game of the Western Conference semifinals. Andy Guthridge of Savannah, GA, is among the estimated 240 million Americans unaware of the sweeping package of civil-liberties curtailments, voting-privilege re-qualifications, and mandatory relocation of the working poor to the Dakotas. 'Man, I was so glad to see the Lakers finally get knocked off,' said Guthridge, who was glued to TNT while the bill's passage aired on C-SPAN. 'Shaq and Kobe and the rest of those dicks have had it coming for a long time.' In addition to allocating $14 billion for 'development of surveillance technologies and domestic weaponry,' the bill expands the criminal code to include any acts determined to be 'a compromise of national interests' by the Justice Department or other federal authorities. U.S. Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) also tacked on a rider late in the approval process that adds situational provisions to the First Amendment and effectively does away with the Fifth. The controversial additions might have threatened the law's passage, had they not been made during the closing minutes of the Dallas Mavericks' thrilling 112-99 come-from-behind win over the Sacramento Kings in game seven of their series. 'The First Amendment will still protect almost all of the forms of expression that it always has,' said Biden, who will assume his new duties as Commandant Of The Greater West on June 1. 'The average patriotic American won't even notice the difference. How about that Jason Kidd? Right now, I'd say he's the best point guard in the East, if not the entire NBA.' Americans' reactions to the new laws were mixed. 'I know everyone's talking about the Nets these days, but the Mavs are still the team to beat,' said Plano, TX, resident Doug Abbott, whose vegetable-wholesaling business is slated to be annexed by the newly created Federal Reacquisition Corps. 'I'm sorry, but you're not winning an NBA championship with Jason Collins at center. They'll easily get past the Pistons, but come Finals time, [Dirk] Nowitzki's gonna eat him alive.' 'No waythis is the Nets' year,' said James Cimini of Hackensack, NJ. 'With the Lakers out of the picture, it's New Jersey's time to shine. Whether it's the Spurs or the Mavs, neither team can contain K-Mart, Mr. Kenyon Martin. This postseason, he's moved up from being merely a very good forward to one of the league's elite players.' In a nationally televised address before an estimated audience of 150, President Bush praised the Citizenship Redefinition And Income-Based Relocation Act. 'The swift passage of this very important law proves what I have always believed: that government works best when spared the constant carping and criticism of naysayers,' Bush said. 'I am proud of all the senators, representatives, regional overseers, and metropolitan sub-commanders who worked so hard to make this law a reality. Almost as proud as San Antonio is of its Spurs.' 
1	Investigators are citing 'broken Propecia tablet-handling' as the cause of Monday's death of San Antonio resident Nancy Ivey. According to reports, Ronald Ivey returned home from work at 5:20 p.m. to find his pregnant wife's charred remains on the kitchen floor near an open bottle of his Propecia hair-regrowth medication. A subsequent autopsy revealed that a broken tablet had been 'handled in a reckless and cavalier manner' by the woman. 'This senseless tragedy could have easily been averted,' a shaken San Antonio police chief Derrick Rudd said. 'I beg you, please help spread the word: Women who are or may be pregnant must not use Propecia or handle broken tablets.' 
1	North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, pop star Justin Timberlake, the entire cast of Oz The Great And Powerful, LeBron James, and Samsungs new Galaxy S IV smartphone convened at the Vatican Tuesday to begin the process of selecting a new pope, according to bald-faced, desperately sensationalistic reports aimed at boosting online traffic to a web publication. As per Vatican tradition, the papal conclave opened today with a star-studded concert featuring One Direction, Adele, and Justin Bieber, and which included a mass performance of the Harlem Shake, read the utterly shameless piece of content that was guest-edited by Barack Obama and was posted online at 10:30 a.m. on what happened to be a rather slow news day. Afterward, following the ceremonial discussion of 10 shocking predictions about the upcoming season of Mad Men, the electors retired for deliberations behind closed doors at the Sistine Chapel, where they will use color-coded smoke signals to reveal the sex of Prince William and Kate Middletons unborn child. Unabashed click-baiting sources confirmed that Cardinal Leaked Photos Of Apples iWatch appeared to be the clear favorite to become the next pontiff. 
1	After Ben Roethlisberger repeatedly addressed his Pittsburgh teammates as 'dude,' 'Mac,' and 'you there' for an entire practice session last Monday, the quarterback's fellow Steelers concluded that the oft-concussed Pro Bowler is unable to remember their names. 'I walked up to him in the locker room and said, 'Hey Ben,' and he responded, 'Hey...brother,''said a teammate who spoke on the condition of continued anonymity. 'He only used a first name once, and that was when he was talking to Troy Polamalu. And he kept calling him Randy.' When asked if he would be ready for Sunday's game, Roethlisberger said that as the third-string goalie, there is only so much he could do. 
3	Saudi Princess Speaks Out Against Chemtrails and GeoengineeringBy Patrick Roddie and Peter A. Kirby The great thing about this woman is that, from a position of world power, she is speaking out against chemtrails and geoengineering. In her brief talk with Patrick, she described the ongoing geoengineering program as a weapon of mass destruction; a method of slow poisoning which threatens all life on Earth. She is aware of what is going on. She is concerned about the biological impacts. She laments the cloud cover generated overhead. She is uneasy about what kind of world we will leave for our children. She has eyes. She sees. She has a brain. She thinks. About this, how can one remain silent? Here is the video: This is not her first time speaking out about difficult issues. The Princess is an activist. She advocates for reform in Saudi Arabia. She travels the world attending social issue conferences. We commend the Princess. The world would be a much better place if more prominent people such as her spoke out about these outrageous crimes against Humanity. Patrick, our interviewer, also presented at the Istanbul conference. The Princess was in the audience. Here is video of Patricks presentation: Here is a video of all the presenters at the Atmospheric Manipulation; Opportunities and Threats Climate Modification Technology Workshop. HRH Princess Basmah attended the workshop and asked several questions: Princess Basmah Bint Sauds website: Istanbul Security Conference website: Patrick Roddie is a San Francisco, CA researcher, writer, and globetrotting activist.

Check out his ebook Chemtrails Exposed: A New Manhattan Project Follow Peter on Twitter @PeterAKirby DEATH TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER!!! Please log in to up-vote constructive comments and down-vote those of the shills. Thanks. The truth is not a popularity contest. Im a pilot. Seriously,when the #% is this redicilous idea bout chemtrails going to end? First: Clouds are crerated when warm air rises and is cooled off..and guess what: engines on planes heats the air, and also the friction from the wings, thus if a plane passes through an area of a little moist air then it will be warmed up and cooled off: this creates the clouds, not chemtrails wake up retards! If there is a simple explanation for the unusual and persistent contrails now commonly witnessed and noted by hundreds of millions of people and why aluminum, barium, and strontium levels are high in sprayed areas, then why doesnt the MSM sponsor a series of printed and televised reports explaining why the patterns are clearly different than they were decades ago? New fuel? The reason TPTB have refused to squarely address the geonengineering controversy is the same reason they never dove deeply into the research of the 9/11 Truth movement nor allow Cass Sunstein to publicly debate someone like Richard Gage or David Ray Griffin. They dont want the zombie masses to become engaged. Aluminum barium and strontium levels are not high in sprayed areas. You sound like a parrot. And a truther, too, what a surprise. Water and air samples analyzed by geonengineering activists, including biologists and physicians, prove this point, as does the research of Dr. J Marvin Herndon and testing confirmed by whistle blower Kristen Meghan, former USAF senior environmental specialist. Your knowledge base on these issues, including 9/11, is a black hole no light escaping. Cest dommage. The activists tested sludge. Cest dommage that u are so gullible. The Herndon paper was retracted for the same reasons the Seralini and Wakefield papers were political targeting against faulty dogma. I know, I researched all three. Based on SCIENTIFIC MERIT, the attack on the Seralini paper was the most absurd, egregious, and completely unjustified based Ive ever come across. It was completely clean. Next would be Herndons paper, also clean. You can parrot what disinfo shills are passing off as arguments I judging by your poor communication skills, Im sure you dont have the skill to discern the fraud. Ive seen many far weaker and downright bad science papers slide through the circle jerk of peer reviewed medical science, yet nobody bothers to deconstruct them for public consumption. I know, I researched all three. Well let me just swallow that whole, like youve swallowed the whole chemtrails fantasy. I cant wait for the results of the paraglider samples, LOL. I read the original journal publications and reviewed the criticism, carefully deconstructing each one. In the Wakefield paper, I looked at the notes and conclusions of the independent medical scientist who reviewed the pathology reports, the source of the contention, and found that the diagnoses of colitis were consistent with standard protocol, thus the independent researcher concluded the paper was clean and conforming to scientific methods. The Seralini paper was a simple construct as was Herndons (which I consider simply an early hypothesis and first paper). Surely you didnt misunderstand that to mean I actually was a participating researcher? Poor wittle bunny wabbit. LOL Im a pilot. Seriously, when the #% is this redicilous idea bout chemtrails going to end? This is an unsubstantiated appeal to authority followed by useless rhetoric. Your banter about how contrails are formed is a bunch of baloney and the standard shill topic. Never mind that there is a huge, chronologically coherent history of this Project. Never mind that aluminum and barium are showing up in massive amounts in rainwater samples from all over the world. Never mind that respiratory diseases and diseases caused by aluminum exposure have gone through the roof. Never mind that the worlds most powerful scientific organizations are all advocating for this. Never mind that one of their climate gurus has already admitted the program. Were simply supposed to believe some nobody on the Internet vomiting out convoluted garbage about contrails. Im kind of sensing some bot activity here. I dont anyone who spells ridiculous as redicilous flying any plane im on. Im a pilot? Con trails dissipate quickly and do not hang in the skies spreading out. Chem trails do stay for a long period and spread out. I have seen dozens crossing in all directions in the sky at one time. This is hardly the path of a commercial airliner. Dont dare tell me I did not see what I saw. I had 2 chemtrails over my home one evening that were so low that I could almost reach up and touch them. I know it is a conspiracy theorythe 2 words used by the 1 per cent to inhibit those from thinking outside the box. I am a senior citizen and if what you said were true I would have been seeing them 30 years ago and they were not there then. I have often on these pages reported (only to be smeared as a paid shill of some nefarious force never identified) that chemtrails are a propaganda ploy by the fossil fuel oligarchs (just like the anti-global warming campaign) to divert attention from the massive harm done by fossil fuel production and consumption (not to mention resource wars that have killed millions) to human health and the environment, not to mention climate change. I have suggested that chemtrails is a way to shift focus from the actual cause of global warming and environmental devastation, not to mention hundreds of millions sickened by pollution, from the obvious sources to a mythical force which no actual atmospheric scientist has ever accepted as logical or valid. This article featuring the views of a member of the Saudi elite, the very fossil fuel oligarchy to which I have referred, makes visible the propaganda campaign I have previously exposed. As the second leading producer of fossil fuels in the world, the Saudi oligarchy has a vested interest in thwarting efforts to regulate fossil fuel emissions and reduce environmental/health damage, for the sole purpose of protecting its trilliions in profit, in a system where the trillions in damage is shifted from the producers to the public. Here is the naked propaganda message: do not be concerned about the hundreds of millions sickened, the billions in lost wages, or the trillions in environmental damage caused by the fossil fuel industry; instead look up and interpret the normal contrails of millions of flights a year as a nefarious plot to modify the weather or kill off billions of unnecessary people. Do not listen to the actual atmospheric scientists who have explained the reality of contrails and the absence of scientific evidence for chemtrails. Instead, listen to the fossil fuel oligarchs who tell you global warming is a hoax and the real threat to your health is not the lethal pollution of fossil fuels but a conspiracy to modify the weather and/or target populations for death.. This message resonates with a small percentage of people who are scientifically illiterate and predisposed to distrust the government. What they do not realize is who is behind this message and that it aims to shift blame from the actual criminals who are poisoning the planet for massive profits while blocking the development of clean energy, lying to the public, and paying off politicians to thwart efforts to reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Chemtrails, etc is an example of a cynical conspiracy theory with the dual purpose of diverting attention from the real, visible problem and of poisoning the well of valid conspiracy allegations, in order to protect the actual guilty parties. Whether it is the fascist Saudi monarchy, the Koch brothers, or Exxon, the promoters of such theories reliy on millions of useful and ignorant idiots to create a way to block doing something about the massive harm these polluters are doing. I will again be called a paid shill (the accusers never say of whom) and castigatged for pointing out the deception behind the chemtrails mythology. But consider whether a member of the Saudi elite, billionaires whose fortune is based on maintaining fossil fuels as the primary energy source (and thus crushing clean energy initiiatives), are not the paid shills spreading lies to keep the public and governments from acting to reduce the killing pollution the current system, backed by massive military force and widespread propaganda campaigns, is based on. Chemtrails has nothing to do with such weather modification as cloud seeding to produce rain (which native Americans practiced), nor would chemtrails, any more than actual contrails, reduce global warming, since the cirrus clouds caused by frozen vapors from jets actually warm the atmosphere, a fact which the EPa (demonized by the fossil fuel billionaires) has recognized and is seeking approval to regulate ordinary jet emissions just as it regulates ground level emissions. I too distrust the government but not for spraying to modify the weather but rather for criminal wars in 7 Muslim nations and selling 100 billion in arms to the worlds most oppressive state, a fascist monarchy, in Saudi Arabia, for whom the woman quoted in the above article speaks. I also distrust the fossil fuel industry, given that Exxon, the worlds richest corporation, has now been exposed as having concluded from its own research in the 70s that global warming, caused by burning fossil fuels, was real..and then spending tens of millions to fund climate denial propaganda. EPA regulations. For instance, as a child, trips to Los Angeles (with 1/4 the people of today) was a painful experience of burning eyes and sore throats for days afterwards, as well as flu like symptoms. Today, LA air is much cleaner due to smog regulations, despite having 5 times more cars. Back in the 1950s and 60s, people in Los Angeles breathed some of the dirtiest air in the world. Los Angeles still has smog, of course, but its not nearly as bad as it used to be. How did the city get its act together? It took decades. Los Angeles had its first real smog attack during World War II, a smog strong enough that some people suspected a Japanese chemical attack. But it wasnt until 1975 that the U.S. required new cars to have catalytic converters, the key piece of technology that allowed everything to change, If you go further back to the late 1900s, LA was a mecca of electric vehicles with an electric mass transit system, but the fossil fuel industry crushed this development, which threatened to exclude them. Today, fossil fuel corporations are working hard, bribing politicians, etc, to block efforts to reduce pollution. For instance,recently in California the industry worked to block efforts to slightly raise standards for release of ozone, claiming that cleaning up the air would hurt business. Just a few weeks ago, the Republican Congress voted to strike down the new rules to limit emissions from power plants. Senators voted 52-46 to stop the carbon dioxide limits for existing power plants, which mandate a 32 percent cut in the power sectors carbon emissions by 2030. The move to block the related carbon rule for newly built power plants passed by the same vote. The worst polluters are coal plants, which worldwide kill A 2010 study by the Clean Air Task Force estimated that air pollution from coal-fired power plants accounts for more than 13,000 premature deaths, 20,000 heart attacks, and 1.6 million lost workdays in the U.S. each year. The total monetary cost of these health impacts is over $100 billion annually. 25 MARCH 2014 | GENEVA In new estimates released today, WHO reports that in 2012 around 7 million people died one in eight of total global deaths as a result of air pollution exposure. This finding more than doubles previous estimates and confirms that air pollution is now the worlds largest single environmental health risk. Efforts to shift attention from the real cause of the the worlds largest single environmental health risk. include the propaganda campaign to dismiss the findings of climate science and to paint the government (including the UN) not as the agencies capable of reducing these risks but as perpetrators of lies and programs to increase the risk through such alleged programs as chemtrails. This is clever but deadly. I now await the typical kill the messenger (and I am just reporting) smears of paid shill etc etc. I am used to it. Those without any evidence to support their position (ie the brainwashed) will call those reporting evidence all kinds of bad names. Why would Saudi Arabia want to support the mythology of chemtrails? Think about it. CO2 is NOT pollution. It is necessary for life on the planet. I usually say pollution and greenhouse emissions to satisfy trolls like you but I will say pollution is defined as any harmful emissions, and CO2 in the atmosphere is certainly harmful in that as a greenhouse gas, it warms the atmosphere and produces many harmful extreme weather events like record floods (North Carolina), record droughts (California), record decrease in snowpack (which provides water) up to 95%, record melting of glaciers in 90% of worlds glaciers (also leading to water crises), record rainfall (as in the Pacific Northwest) and of course record heat, as on all continents this last summer, including the Artic. This week, record heat waves in the frigid December Northeast have temps 10-30 degrees above normal. All this is a result of an increase of 40% of CO2 in the atmosphere since 1800 when massive burning of fossil fuels began. CO2 in the ground or ocean or at ground level is not the same as in the atmosphere, where it acts as a warming greenhouse gas. The CO2 level today is at the highest level in 800,000years, and while millions or billions of years ago, it is now higher than ever since human beings began to populate the earth. Water vapor is greenhouse gas but your ignorance shows when you do not recognize that as CO2 in the atmosphere warms it up, that also produces more water vapor in what is called a positive feedback loop. To reduce water vapor, we have to reduce greenhouse gases. Also, CO2 lasts in the atmosphere for decades while water vapor lasts for hours or days. You need to do a little more study so you understand these relationships and why all climate scientists recognize global warming an an empirical reality, with human activity as the only logical cause. Climate central reports: The last time there was this much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Earths atmosphere, modern humans didnt exist. Megatoothed sharks prowled the oceans, the worlds seas were up to 100 feet higher than they are today, and the global average surface temperature was up to 11F warmer than it is now. Carbon dioxide is the most important long-lived global warming gas, and once it is emitted by burning fossil fuels such as coal and oil, a single CO2 molecule can remain in the atmosphere for hundreds of years. Global CO2 emissionsreached a record high of 35.6 billion tonnes in 2012, up 2.6 percent from 2011. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases warm the planet by absorbing the suns energy and preventing heat from escaping back into space. For a 2009 study, published in the journal Science, scientists analyzed shells in deep sea sediments to estimate past CO2 levels, and found that CO2 levels have not been as high as they are now for at least the past 10 to 15 million years, during the Miocene epoch. This was a time when global temperatures were substantially warmer than today, and there was very little ice around anywhere on the planet. And so sea level was considerably higher around 100 feet higher than it is today, The claim that CO2 over 1500% higher than today and the temperatures were the dame is impossible, given the fact that greenhouse gases heat up the atmosphere which increases water vapor, which in turn heats up the temperature even more. The claim that greenhouse gases like CO2 has no effect on the temperature is rejected by 100% of actual climate scientists as absurd. Why are you promoting absurdities? Climate denial is promoted by fossil fuel corporations whose own research proves it is real (Exxon, Koch funded Berkeley Earth Project). Greenhouse gases by definition heat the atmosphere so the claim there is no connection is a sign of scientific illiteracy. I suggest you read https://www.skepticalscience.com/co2-higher-in-past.htm to understand the context of the high CO2 concentrations millions of years ago. skepticalscience reports: The Ordovician glaciation was a brief excursion to coldness during an otherwise warm era, due to a coincidence of conditions. It is completely consistent with climate science. This is 444 million years ago and In summary, we know CO2 was probably very high coming into the Late Ordovician period, however the subsequent dip in CO2 was brief enough not to register in the GEOCARB model, yet low enough (with the help of a dimmer sun) to trigger permanent ice-formation. Effectively it was a brief excursion to coldness during an otherwise warm era, due to a coincidence of conditions. I recommend this article by the author of the above skepticalscience article: Bord, R.J.; OConnor; Fisher (1998). Public perceptions of global warming: United States and international perspectives. Climate Research 11 (1): 7584. Real science is shaped by research and efforts by other scientists to find flaws in theories, methodology and data. Public perceptions are shaped by corporate propaganda and media sensationalism. I urge you to stick with the real science. Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. Since 1800 CO2 has increased by 40%, higher than in the past 800,000 years. There is no such thing as a depleted level of CO2 at this time, since there is 40% more than 200 years ago. With CO2 rising concerns about it dropping below 150ppm is a red herring. The danger is that with more greenhouse gases, the increased temperature and moisture in the atmosphere triggers severe weather events including rapid melting of ice caps (raising sea level) and glaciers (90% are melting, threatening worlds water supply). The current level of 400 ppm is in one sense minute but in another a powerful cause of global warming. The more CO2 in the atmosphere, the more heating, the more water vapor, and so more heating: positive feedback loop. Look it up and consider that if greenhouse gases cause adverse change they are rightly considered pollution. In addition they are released along with the lethal particulate pollution which kills millions each year. The worst offender is coal. Burning coal gives off tiny particles that are five times more deadly to the heart than burning oil, natural gas or wood,To conduct the study (published online Wednesday in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives ), researchers examined data collected between 1982 and 2004 of more than 450,000 adults across the U.S. in 100 different metro areas. They found that exposure to tiny particles found in fossil fuel emissions is linked with an increased risk of death from heart disease, including from a heart attack, and quantified the toxicity of such particles as contributing more this mortality risk than other forms of air pollution. The reduction of pollutants which are release together in the burning of fossil fuels, must include both greenhouse gases and particulants. The Coal industry is fighting regulation, claiming it would cost jobs, despite the fact that the US coal industry employs 80,000 people (down 10% from the previous year) and that building equipment to reduce emissions would create new jobs. And the renewable energy industry is growing fast, and now employs, in the US alone, about ten times as many: According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), renewable energy employment in the United States reached 724,000 jobs in 2014, a 16 percent increase from the previous year (IRENA does not include large-scale hydropower in their estimates). This also does not include green energy industries such as electric vehicles, green building construction, and mandated energy efficient appliances, which combined employ another 2.7 million. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), renewable energy employment in the United States reached 724,000 jobs in 2014, a 16 percent increase from the previous year (IRENA does not include large-scale hydropower in their estimates). In the UK, green energy jobs are growing 7 times faster than the national average, and in the US 10 times faster (google it at renewableenergy.com) In the same year, the coal industry lost 10,000 jobs, solar added 23,000 and wind added 22,500 (energy.gov). Usgbc.org reports: WASHINGTON, D.C. (Sept. 16, 2015) The green building sector is outpacing overall construction growth in the U.S. and will account for more than 2.3 million American jobs this year, according to a newU.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) study from Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE:BAH). The 2015 Green Building Economic Impact Study, released today by USGBC and prepared by Booz Allen, finds the green building industry contributes more than $134.3 billion in labor income to working Americans. The study also found that green constructions growth rate is rapidly outpacing that of conventional construction and will continue to rise. As we reduce coal production, saving the environment, the climate, and human lives, coal workers, who suffer severe health problems in addition to a fatality rate 6 times higher than in the average private sector job. The rate of days lost due to illness is twice the average of the private sector (31 days a year).http://www.bls.gov/iif/oshwc/osh/os/osar0012.htm Coal is the worst emitter of greenhouse gases. A 2009 study found that Previous research that examined specific forms of mortality in coal mining areas found that chronic forms of heart, respiratory, and kidney disease, as well as lung cancer, remained elevated after adjusting for socioeconomic and behavioral factors.16,18,19 Elevated adjusted mortality occurred in both males and females, suggesting that the effects were not due to occupational exposure, as almost all coal miners are men. These illnesses are consistent with a hypothesis of exposure to water and air pollution from mining activities. There is evidence that the coal mining industry is a significant source of both air and water pollution.4550 In the current study, the adjusted VSL costs indicate that the potential environmental impacts of mining exceed the economic benefits of mining. Eliminating the mortality disparity in coal mining areas would result in savings of an estimated 3,975 to 10,923 lives per year based on choice of comparison group. A tax carbon would result in reducing reliance on coal and increasing the green energy industry, thus saving lives, the environment, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions which cause severe weather events. The 80,000 coal miners who die young, along with their families, could be subsidized with training to work in the fast growing green energy industry. Coal miners could be retrained to enter a growing industry instead of slowing dying in an industry where jobs are being replaced over 10% year with automation. A carbon tax on coal would not only help reduce emissions (through innovation to avoid the tax) but would gradually end the coal mining industry, to be replaced with non-polluting energy sources; a portion of it could be used to train coal miners who are being eliminated by the industry anyway to work in the green energy industry, which is the fastest growing in the nation. They would thus have a future and prospects of living a healthier longer life. Coal is a killer. It has the worst particulate pollution and the worst greenhouse gas emissions along with being the most dangerous and unhealthy of energy jobs. Carbon taxes can save lives, as well as reduce global warming, in addition to funding training for people who are losing their jobs (mostly independent of any governmental intervention). It is simple to write a law mandating that all revenue from carbon taxes be used for dividends to consumers, research and development, promotion of clean energy, and retraining those who might lose their jobs in dirty energy facilities. Medicare is able to administer payments for 50 million clients with a 2% overhead (compared to 20% for private insurers) and so it is reasonable to assume that carbon taxes (like payroll taxes) can be administered at the same 2% level, leaving 98% of the revenues for the benefits described above. There is no evidence in other nations with carbon taxes of waste or fraudso these are simply propaganda lies promoted by the billionaire polluters who put obscene profits above human health and concern for protecting the environment. lol.You are a paid shill! No one would spend as much time and have a books worth of misleading information unless they were being paid. CO2 is at the lowest levels in the history of our planet, we could use more. CO2 is NOT the main greenhouse gas, water vapor is by a huge margin, so they whole debate about CO2 is itself a rousse. The Global Warming Hoax is all about money and control through Agenda 21. Yes computer, anyone who has been paying attention here is aware of your long-winded and convoluted conspiracy theories about how big oil created the chemtrail myth. The facts of the matter are that big oil is a big funder of your global warming nonsense and big oil is heavily invested in the so-called green alternatives to hydrocarbon fuel. What your feeble microprocessor fails to grasp is that the global warming rip-off is much bigger than the oil companies. And yes, I will continue to personally attack you because you are a spawn of satan designed to help usher in a new dark age of eco-tyranny. Humanity rejects you in no uncertain terms. Like John Hancock, write my name the biggest. Your sarcasm masks a lack of knowledge. What you call long-winded is a full measure of evidence. The facts of the matter are that big oil is a big funder of your global warming nonsense and big oil is heavily invested in the so-called green alternatives to hydrocarbon fuel. That is blatant nonsense. It is refuted by the facts and is illogical, since Big Oil profits from a lack of regulations which allows them to externalize costs. Koch, Exxon. BP etc all openly funded climate denial for years. July 15/2015 the Guardian reported: ExxonMobil gave more than $2.3m to members of Congress and a corporate lobbying group that deny climate change and block efforts to fight climate change eight years after pledging to stop its funding of climate denial, the Guardian has learned. A Greenpeace study based on documented evidence found that The Koch Brothers have sent at least $79,048,951 to groups denying climate change science since 1997.Charles G. Koch and David H. Koch have a vested interest in delaying climate action: theyve made billions from their ownership and control of Koch Industries, an oil corporation that is the second largest privately-held company in America.The Koch brothers, their family members, and their employees direct a web of financing that supports conservative special interest groups and think-tanks, with a strong focus onfighting environmental regulation, opposing clean energy legislation, and easing limits on industrial pollution. This money is typically funneled through one of three charitable foundations the Kochs have set up: the Claude R. Lambe Charitable Foundation; theCharles G. Koch Charitable Foundation; and the David H. Koch Charitable Foundation. Wikpedia reports (with primary sources) They actively fund and support organizations that contribute significantly to Republican candidates, and that lobby against efforts to expand governments role in health care and combat global warming. (see primary source) Scientificamerican reports: In all, 140 foundations funneled $558 million to almost 100 climate denial organizations from 2003 to 2010. The study was published Friday in the journal Climatic Change. Due to adverse publicity Koch, Exxon, etc no longer openly fund climate denial organizations but do it through subsidiaries, a common method for masking financial dealings. From 2003 to 2007, Koch Affiliated Foundations and the ExxonMobil Foundation were heavily involved in funding climate change denial efforts. But Exxon hasnt made a publically traceable contribution since 2008, and Kochs efforts dramatically declined, Brulle said. Coinciding with a decline in traceable funding, Brulle found a dramatic rise in the cash flowing to denial organizations from DonorsTrust, a donor-directed foundation whose funders cannot be traced. This one foundation, the assessment found, now accounts for 25 percent of all traceable foundation funding used by organizations promoting the systematic denial of climate change. The largest of these organizations is Donors Trust. Sourcewatch.org reported: DT and DCF made grants of over $148 million in 2011 and 2012, and according to a report byDeSmog Blog the two funds granted almost $311 million between 2002 and 2010.[5] The Koch brothers and other ultra-wealthy industrial ideologues appear to be cloaking an untold amount of their donations to conservative political outlets through DT and DCF. The obscure Knowledge and Progress Fund, controlled by Charles G. Koch, with Richard Fink as president, has given only to Donors since 2005 We do know that the Koch brothers have made significant contributions to Donors Trust through their foundation called the Knowledge and Progress Fund. They gave $1.25 million in 2007, $1.25 million in 2008, and then $2 million in 2010 to Donors. Robert Brulle: Inside the Climate Change Countermovement, PBS Frontline, October 23, 2012. To claim that the Koch brothers and Exxon are funding global warming nonsense is totally absurd, given the hundreds of millions they have given to deny it. The reason they have promoted the denial movement is thwart govt efforts to reduce greenhouse gases which legislation would cut into their profits as they would no longer be able to shift the costs of damage to the public. Your total lack of evidence and logic, combined with your personal attacks (you call me a spawn of satan) shows not only a mind brainwashed by the Big Oil/Coal propaganda but a demented mind which has the psychopathic arrogance to speak for Humanity. You are a sad case of a useful idiot of the fossil fuel propagandists imagining he speaks for Humanity. The E-mail scandal exposed that the pro GW scientists are in fact being paid by Shell and other funders, and yes major oil companies and their executives and share holders are vested in green energy. You are a shill of the highest order, or is it lowest order you Satan worshiping pedophiles are after? Also, nobody cares about the Koch brothers, they arent even in the top ten of the most money given to political causes, only liberals and shills bring them up. The Kochs run in global elite circles. For instance, David was on the board of directors for the Earth Watch Institute, described by some as a pro Agenda 21 sustainability organization. He is currently on the boards of the globalist Aspen Institute (formerly headed by Club of Rome and UN superwonk Maurice Strong) and the Rockefeller University Trustees. The Kochs have always played both sides and are heavy into the dialectic, going back to the days their father Fred co-opted the John Birch Society. Fred developed a close relationship with Stalin and his sons donate to environmentalist DINOs in congress. Its a complete fog, gotta rely on common sense. Common sense? Yes, all these rich guys are in on it together against we the lower class. Im just sick of brain dead liberals whining endlessly about the Koch brothers like they are the only ones funding the agenda/war against us. Just more divide and conquer tactics. Perfect spot on description. Okay I have been observing since 2009 the proliferation of the spray program. For anyone to deny the existence of chem trails at this point is insanity. Having worked in the airline industry for many years and just being a person of passionate curiosity, something has changed. I dont understand how I can observe TWO planes flying at the same time I have years worths of pictures for my own satisfaction from all over the US, I have driven back and forth hundreds and hundreds of miles from MD to IN, watching, looking up. You have to study the sky you just cant look up once an hour for a minute and decide, you need hours and hours and days and weeks and months to notice the patterns, luckily I have time, cause I wont sell my days for gold one has a thick vapor trail that lasts, turns into swirls and expands over 30 minutes and a NORMAL contrail that dissipates at 15 to 30 seconds. So. yes, you are a SHILL, paid or not, it doesnt matter. Shills just talk and talk and talk,,,, diverting attention from the real issue. so, Blah, blah ,blah blah Have a nice day shilly. You have been observing normal contrails, which both pollute and warm the atmosphere. You are interpreting them as chemtrails with no evidence. No atmospheric scientists who actually study the atmosphere accepts the reality of chemtrails; so your position is that the experts who spend their lives doing research on the top are all insane, whereas you who has never taken even one class in atmospheric science, can SEE the chemtrails. Normal contrails can last a long time and spread out to form cirrus clouds slightly warming the atmosphere. They are carried by air currents for thousands of miles over months and dissipated by the millions finally fall to earth (2/3 in the ocean). You are denying the reality of a phenomenon all atmospheric scientists accept as an empirical fact: persistent contrails. Here is an excellent explanation of contrails (from pbs): A contrail will form behind a jet if, as exhaust gases cool and mix with surrounding air, the humidity is high enough and the temperature low enough for liquid water to condense. The air needs to be supersaturated and the temperature generally below -40F, something that typically occurs only in the upper troposphere, the atmospheric layer several miles up where airliners cruise. Under those conditions, water vapor from the jets exhaust and secondarily from the atmosphere condenses into water droplets. Within a few tens of feet behind the aircraft, these droplets freeze into the snow-white particles that bring the contrail to life. How long a newly formed condensation trail sticks around depends on the ambient humidity. If humidity is low, contrails will rapidly dissipate, looking like a comets tail. The ice particles sublimatemeaning go straight from ice to vaporand youre back to blue sky. If humidity is high, however, contrails can persist f conditions are right, newly formed contrails will begin feeding off surrounding water vapor. Like vaporous cancers, they start growing and spreading. In time, they can expand horizontally to such an extent that they become indistinguishable from cirrus clouds, those thin, diaphanous sheets often seen way up high. These artificial cirrus clouds can last for many hours, and the amount of sky they end up covering can be astonishing. One study showed that contrails from just six aircraft expanded to shroud some 7,700 square miles. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/space/contrail-effect.html As I am citing the evidence of actual atmospheric scientists, I conclude that you are the paid shill of those seeking to delude the public. What you see above is not talk and talk and talk (that is what your fact-free post is full of) but findings of atmospheric science. You can call actual science blah blah blah blah blah, but science is valid whether you accept it or not. Dale Ruff also shills for smart meters and wireless. Shes great..I am very proud of her because our officials say nothing Obama yells about climate change but doesnt address this??? Of course not, time to teach about the world for real my friend. When an SPLC operative makes it a point to constantly attack geoengineering critics then we can surmise the powers-that-shouldnt-be are worried their enslavement plan A (global carbon tax, to start) is in danger of unraveling. We KNOW what we are witnessing with our own eyes, we dont need globalist billionaire fossil fuel oligarchs (Rockefellers, Kochs, Sauds, etc) to sanctify what we have been observing. I sincerely hope the Princess is not being used somehow, however, regardless of her stance or how it could be twisted later into a limited hangout (e.g. AGW is taking place and TPTB are making the situation worse out of desperation), this battle must be explode from the bottom up not top down. Whats a SPLC operative? Southern Poverty Law Center SPLC = Southern Preposterous Lie center Thank you for your valuable contributions, Peter and Patrick. BTW, radio host John B Wells (Caravan to Midnight) is highly sympathetic to geoengineering activism. It might be worth your time to share some of your work with him. Wells has been interviewing Patrick Wood and, in a comment, I referenced your work on Woods Technocracy.news. IMO, the scientism mindset of Technocracy is well reflected in the global promotion of geoengineering. Incidentally, a very good article Rusticus shared on selfnews Post on Russias historical embrace of technocratic rule dovetails with an apparent decades long ambitious view of geoengineering in Russia going back to 1960 expressed in a book by two Russian meteorologists: Today we are merely on the threshold of the conquest of nature. But if the reader is convinced that man can really be the master of this planet and that the future is in his hands, then the authors will consider that they have fulfilled their purpose. theguardian.com/environment/2013/sep/24/why-geoengineering-suits-russias-carbon-agenda In a 2013 request to the IPCC, Russia formally asked that geoengineering be considered as a possible solution to stabilize the climate. However, like the rest of the world, Russias ruling elite havent been waiting for the IPCCs green light they are already spraying. theguardian.com/environment/2013/sep/19/russia-un-climate-report-geoengineering FWIW, an additional note relating to the issue in the second video of potential military applications, in a Dec. 10 Solari blog excerpt of a Clifford Carnicom interview the subject of particulates from global spraying being used as a surveillance system via LIDAR technology was discussed as another theoretical application and motive. solari.com/blog/ Thanks for the thanks. Yes, I am aware of John B.. I dig his stuff. I dont agree with him on everything, but hes got a great voice and a great mind. I plan on asking to appear on his show when I am done with my book. Even if he asked me, I couldnt do his show right now. I have to not do interviews right now because I have turned down some requests lately; telling them that Im not doing interviews until the book is done. I dont want to alienate the people who I have politely rejected thus far. The book might be done by the middle of next year. You provide me with some very interesting avenues of investigation. They have been duly noted and will be explored. I completely understand. I didnt know who Wells was until recently stumbling onto the Wood technocracy interview. Im always grateful people seem to be connecting somehow. Best of luck with the book. BRAVO!!! The short of it, knowledge cannot be unlearned, nor taken away. Once you understand the basics, you build upon that and keep on keeping on. Knowledge gives you a huge inferno to light the darkest night, it is the ultimate equalizer, power. In surviving, knowing the basics, a good set of basics, is all you need. Once you have that, you can see past all the smoke and mirror riff raff and it all falls away. Where did she come from?? How was she let out of SA? Environmental protection has been derailed to a large extent. If there were an environment al protection movement, then a main focus would also be to help Japan to stop contaminating the Pacific Ocean with leaking radioactive materials from Fukushima. Environmental clean up has been hijacked by neocons. Great observation but the blame goes beyond the neocons, the neolibs are just as much a part of the problem. Two sides of the same coin, both allowing or supporting geoengineering and more. The genuine aspects of the environmental movement were hijacked by the globalists. Yep, both shills for the banker gangsters. Both the neocons and the far left are communists walking hand in hand towards the NWO. I saw Hillary advocating, on utube video, Gmos as safe when I have read numerous independent studies saying the opposite. This could be. along with CT, a depopulation agenda. dont lie that you dont know who sprays! you know well these are bodies who are funded by secret budgets of governments who involved with that! Interesting. The Princess is a student of G.I. Gurdjieff Is Patrick Roddie the creepiest conman on the internet? Very possibly. What erudition! The peak oil concept was formalized by a geophysicist named M. King Hubbert. Coincidentally, Hubbert was also a co-founder of the 1930s Technocracy movement which, almost exactly, describes the totalitarian energy rationing system the-powers-that-shouldnt-be have been constructing behind the curtain, and to some extent, under our noses. Whether oil scarcity is even close to the peak oil theory is almost irrelevant at this point because the global elite (Rockefellers, etc) have been undermining decentralized forms of energy production for a very long time, esp. well documented is plant based fuels (alcohols). They want all of us dependent on centrally controlled energy sources. If youre interested, there is an article in the link about Hubbert founding Technocracy, which is essentially an extension of the Scientific Society concept, and later promoted in the 1970s by Brzezinski (Technotronic Era). Note on link: the author Patrick Wood has the article on his website but it requires free registration to view (which is OK as there are other articles on Technocracy), so Im sharing a link to a blog that is open viewing. anationbeguiled.wordpress.com/2013/12/04/carbon-currency-a-new-beginning-for-technocracy/ Check it out, TPTB aim to control every resource and put every human being on the planet in electronic cages / straight jackets. Thank you. Okay princess, you sound smart. Now take your clothes off! Thanks for that info, very helpful. Is this the same Saudi Arabia that George H. W. Bush collaborated with since the 1960s, from which Osama bin Laden came, and which sent the 19 male decoys to Jeb Bush to later use to scapegoat Moslems for 9-11, covering for the MOSSADs destruction of the WTC? The same Saudi Arabia which has been a major financier of ISIS? One immediately tends to assume that this princess is a decoy to distract from the historical evil associated with Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is currently organizing a massive army of Arab countries that have supported ISIL, and which will predictably support NATO, attack Syria and perhaps spark a war with Russia. An attractive, wealthy princess of Saudi Arabia, pursuing the topic of geoengineering is a neat distraction from Saudi involvement in activity that could lead to a nuclear war. Who do you think is funding ISIS? Is that a question, expecting an answer? Or, is it an interrogative statement ? It is great to see such a prominent person bring the subject of chemtrails and geoengineering into the spot light! Long may it continue. Maybe now the sheeple will begin to awake? Those who follow Mr Roddies crowd-funded holidays are amused. Mr Roddie does not belong at a science conference, but he does like to attend to make himself appear part of the proceedings. All hes done here is approach a woman who doesnt have a clue what his chemtrails delusion is about, but tries to be polite. Mr Roddie and Mr Bliss take crowd-fund money and play pretend-scientists. Disgraceful behaviour, they belong in jail, simple as that. 
1	With the sole exception of the death of a close friend, a recent whitewater rafting excursion was deemed a rousing success by the groups five surviving members, sources confirmed Tuesday. Except for Daryl falling out and drowning, this trip was a total blast, said Justin Purley at the conclusion of an exhilarating day of paddling through canyons, navigating Class IV rapids, recovering their friends body from the river, and taking photographs of the scenic landscape. That moment when he bounced out of the raft and smashed his head on the rocks was just about the only time the smile left my face the whole trip. Plus, we saw that eagle! Purley added that the group would always remember Daryl, as well as the cool old arrowhead they found on the riverbank. 
3	West Drops Syria WMD Narrative As Evidence Points to Western-Armed TerroristsTony Cartalucci However, a strange silence has fallen across the Western media regarding the chemical attack which Israel had even claimed to have confirmed. Now, a recent report published in the London Telegraph by Channel 4 journalist Alex Thomson has produced convincing evidence that implicates the Wests terrorist proxies as the perpetrators, and goes far in explaining the otherwise inexplicable silence exhibited by Wall Street and Londons propaganda machine. The militarys version of events is that the home-made rocket was fired at a military checkpoint situated at the entrance to the town. The immediate effects were to induce vomiting, fainting , suffocation and seizures among those in the immediate area. The military source who spoke to Channel 4 News confirmed that artillery reports from the Syrian Army suggest a small rocket was fired from the vicinity of Al-Bab, a district close to Aleppo that is controlled by Jabhat al-Nusra a jihadist group said to be linked with al-Qaeda and deemed a terrorist organisation by the US. Thomson describes his contact in Syria as a trusted and hitherto reliable source. Thomsons report, coupled with the silence across the Wests governments and media houses, implies that indeed this version of the story falls closest yet to the truth. The Wests silence in the face of an otherwise spectacular opportunity to advance its agenda may also indicate its faltering legitimacy and the loss of confidence that it can rewrite, at will, reality to suit its agenda as it has done so many times in the past. The West also faces a growing crisis if its terrorist proxies continue using chemical weapons, whatever their origin. CNN had reported in December of 2012, in a report titled, 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. This would implicate the West directly in giving terrorists using chemical weapons against Syrias population the knowledge and training to handle just such weapons. While the West continues to insist there is a divide between the terrorists it is arming, funding, and training, and the terrorists openly fighting under the banner of sectarian extremism, it is clear that even the US hand-picked interim government is run entirely by the sectarian extremist organization, the Muslim Brotherhood. Thomsons report implicates the Al Qaeda affiliate al-Nusra as possibly being behind the attack, and notes that it is listed by the US as a terrorist organisation. However, so-called Syrian opposition leader, Moaz al-Khatib, had personally defended al-Nusra, openly admitting it was fighting alongside his Western-backed front. As the Wests credibility crumbles regarding Syria, and as its success in Libya continues to burn, its arming, training, aiding and abetting of terrorists carrying out increasingly horrific atrocities which now appear to include the use of chemical weapons, will haunt them not only in their pursuit of transforming the Levant, but in many years to come, in regards to all of their geopolitical ambitions.

1	As the Jeremy Lin phenomenon continues to lift hopes and spirits among the Knicks faithful and basketball fans nationwide, team doctors are doing everything they can to maintain the unusually high level of morale by painstakingly and methodically prolonging the groin injury Carmelo Anthony suffered on February 6. 'Carmelo's injury really isn't that unusual or severe, as these things go, so we've had to be persistent in striking him repeatedly and forcefully in the crotch to prevent him from returning to the lineup,' Knicks team doctor Craig McConnell said Friday. 'We've had our trainers out there working with him every day, stretching his groin to a painful extent before hitting him with everything they canclipboards, water bottles, basketballs, rolls of tape, fists, feet, you name it.' 'Did you see Jeremy Lin scored more points in his first five games than any player in NBA history?' said McConnell, adding that the only thing that makes him feel better than watching Lins success is the sight of Carmelo Anthony rolling on the ground cradling his testicles. 'It's a great time to be a Knicks fan, that's for certain.' Anthony's injured groin, originally classified as a muscle strain, has been reevaluated numerous times by the Knicks' medical team. Following diligent work with reflex hammers, clamps, retractors, generous applications of hypodermically administered saline solution, and even their bare hands, doctors have confirmed Anthony's status is now day-to-day, as he suffers from contusions, a subdermal hematoma, broken blood vessels, and, of course, the original strain. 'We've been giving Melo's groin everything we've got, and I have to say, it's responding to treatment very well,' said trainer Gus Berg, who had to have his own knuckles taped after giving Anthony's crotch a vigorous examination Wednesday. 'The whole training staff is pleased with the way this regimen is going.' According to team sources, the entire Knicks organization, having considered how Anthony's playing style will likely clash with Lin's, has pitched in to help with the groin injury. Guard Baron Davis, suffering from his own physical woes, has reportedly made a point of companionably kicking Anthony in the crotch during their physical therapy appointments. Head coach Mike D'Antoniwhose offensive philosophy relies on intelligent and unselfish guard playvisited Anthony to review several new plays, which he then rolled into a tube and jammed into Anthony's crotch. And team owner James Dolan, who rarely interacts with his players, stopped by the locker room to cheer Anthony up by showing him some of his patented yo-yo-tricks, all of which seemed to involve whipping the yo-yo really hard into Anthony's groin. Anthony, for his part, has insisted that he just needs rest, that he could easily coexist on the court with Jeremy Lin, and that he likes the attention but wishes people would stop reinjuring his groin. 'I'm not worried about the groin strain, really, so much as I'm worried about all these people who keep reinjuring me,' Anthony told reporters. 'I'm spending a lot of time curled up on the floor because of that. I really think I would be able to play again almost right away if it wasn't for people hitting me in the balls all the time.' Anthony's interview was then cut short as several members of the press forcefully struck Anthony in the groin with microphones, cameras, and tape recorders, causing him to collapse to the ground in agony. 
3	ACTION ALERT: Katerina Jelevas Battle to See Her Son Will Resume Feb. 12thBrandon Turbeville Katerina is being forced to go to court at her own expense in order to defend herself against the termination of her parental rights even after she has been proven innocent of any wrongdoing on at least three occasions. If Judge Mary Noonan of the Family Court rules against Katerina, she could terminate Katerinas parental rights altogether. However, if the judge rules in favor of Katerina and does not terminate her parental rights, then Katerina will finally regain custody of her son after an unnecessarily long battle. It is imperative that we contact Judge Mary Noonan and her Clerk and remind them both that we are watching this case and that we expect Katerinas son to be returned to her. Even after her exoneration, Katerina has still been denied the rights to even visit her son due to legal trickery and outright sabotage by the other parties involved. For those of you who are unaware of Katerinas situation, I encourage you to access the articles and interviews linked at the end of this article to get an idea of the never-ending battle she has been forced to fight thus far. I also encourage you to read the summary of her case as it now stands, also included in this article. Again, if you want to help Katerina, please contact the court using the contact information posted below and encourage them to rule in Katerinas favor. Remind the court that the world is watching this case and that injustice such as this cannot continue to be tolerated. Remember to be polite, but firm. Contact information: Judge Mary Noonan (801) 764-5820 Judge Noonans Clerk (801) 724-3820 Judge Mary Noonans email address: 4thjuvnoonan@email.utcourts.gov If neither of these individuals can be reached personally, please leave a message. Tell them to Do the right thing. Tell them to Make the right decision. Katerinas case number is 1065414. BEYER VS. JELEVA Summary of Katerinas Case: In short, when Katerina was conveniently served with a Protective Order by her ex-husband shortly after his own bankruptcy proceeding, Katerinas son was immediately taken from her by DCFS agents and armed police. Yet, after repeated interviews and investigations by psychologists, sex abuse investigators, and other DCFS agents, it was determined that there was absolutely no evidence that Katerina had abused her son. The process of interviews and investigations thus began anew and, again, Katerina was exonerated. Yet, after being ordered to organize and facilitate the family therapy sessions, Guardian ad Litem Amber Ruder flatly refused to obey the judges orders, telling Katerina that she cannot and will not do this for you. Ruder subsequently claimed that Katerinas son may not be returned to her at all because the two have been separated for such a long time that it might traumatize the child to return to his mother. This is in regards to a child who, in the opinion of the child psychologist who interviewed him, showed signs of being coached by other adults in what to say to the therapist in order to implicate his mother in misconduct in the first place. Ever since the second Protective Order, Katerina has been fighting an uphill fight in what seems like a never-ending legal battle where she is forced to represent herself despite having very little time and money at her disposal. In addition, Katerina has had to contend with a Guardian ad Litem who was not only being uncooperative, but was actively sabotaging and opposing Katerinas efforts to be reunited with her son. Between the behavior of Ruder, and Katerinas ex-husbands legal team led by attorney Jere Reneer, Katerina has had to endure such underhanded tactics as court issued documents being sent to her previous attorneys office instead of to her (as she is now representing herself due to financial hardship) among other things. After a great deal of resistance by Ruder and Katerinas ex-husband, Katerina was finally able to attend a therapy session with her son a meeting which scarcely could have gone better, according to Jeleva, particularly under the circumstances. Unfortunately, much of the Amber Ruder-related saga continued in the months following. Not satisfied with the outcome of the DCFS investigations (as they determined that there was no evidence for any abuse), Ruder requested a third interview session with DCFS in an environment more conducive for her purposes, but was rightfully denied by the Judge. Very soon, however, a third anonymous claim of abuse was conveniently made against Katerina and the interview and investigation process began all over again for a third time. Once again, Springville Police Department Detective Jeff Ellsworth was tasked with investigating Katerinas case. As before, Ellsworth concluded that there was no evidence for abuse. Indeed, he clearly stated as much in his incident report when he wrote, I have investigated this matter before, and the information that was brought forward does not provided enough evidence to support Sexual Abuse. This case will remain inactive. Likewise, Emee Drews, the DCFS worker assigned to the case regarding the third accusation, stated that the interview she conducted did not disclose anything new and that there was not enough evidence to support the claims of sexual abuse. After watching the interview, Detective Ellsworth determined that the alleged incident being dealt with was actually the same incident he had investigated much earlier and had decided there was no evidence of child abuse. Essentially, the third accusation of child abuse was a type of accusational derivative, meaning that the third accusation was itself based on the first and second, which themselves were found to be illegitimate and baseless. Thus, on September 7, 2012, the third investigation was closed due to unsupported evidence. All the while, however, Katerinas attempts at supervised therapy with her son were flagrantly derailed in direct violation of the court order by her ex-husband who, Katerina claims, was acting on the advice of Amber Ruder. Furthermore, as the report written by Dr. Gale Stringham makes clear, both the ex-husband and the child were told by Amber Ruder that the child didnt have to see his mom if he didnt want to. Of course, Ruder had zero authority to make this decision because the therapy was court ordered. Keep in mind, Ruders function was Guardian ad Litem, not judge or jury. As a result, Katerinas son, who was ecstatic at seeing his mother at the first therapy session was not present at the second therapy session due to something that came up, preventing the ex-husband from attending the court ordered therapy and obstinately declining to accept any rescheduling by Dr. Stringham until at least a week later. After this long delay between therapy sessions, Katerinas son began acting mysteriously hesitant about seeing his mother and even contradicting himself about claims made against Katerinas new husband around the same time the first allegations were made against Katerina. Furthermore, Stringhams assessment regarding the possibility of the child having been coached in the second therapy session is comparable to her suspicions earlier in the year after the initial Protective Order had been filed. In a letter to the court, Stringham wrote, (Note: the present was simply a gift Katerina was going to bring to her son after the first session. At the first session, her son was eager to receive the video and was looking forward to it.) Shortly after this statement was released, Amber Ruder began complaining to the court via the submission of a motion suggesting that the therapist was providing the wrong kind of therapy. As a result of the continual underhanded tactics of Ruder, Katerinas ex-husband, and his attorney, Jere Reneer, Katerina was forced to respond via her filing a variety of court motions. Although Katerinas motion to the court to have GAL Amber Ruder removed from her case was denied, GAL Ruder is no longer the Guardian ad Litem of Katerinas case. In fact, perhaps due to public pressure as a result of the coverage from the alternative media and the subsequent protest and contact from readers and listeners all across the spectrum, GAL Amber Ruder is no longer Guardian ad Litem in any capacity on any of her former cases. Ruder has been effectively removed from her position as Guardian ad Litem. In Katerinas case, GAL Ruder has been replaced by her supervisor, John Moody. However, the fact that GAL Ruder is gone is no reason to become complacent. The fact is, one GAL has simply been replaced with another. Fortunately, Mr. Moody has acted in a much more responsible manner than former GAL Ruder, administering his duties in a professional and neutral manner. This, in itself, is a vast improvement over the past GAL. Nevertheless, the fact remains that there is no reason for a GAL to be involved between Katerina and her son in the first place. Setting aside the issue of whether or not agencies like DCFS and the family court systems should themselves even exist; in this particular case, it is clear that family court system is now acting outside of its jurisdiction. Because Katerina is not charged with any crime by the State of Utah, and because the Protective Order filed against her has now expired (on September 30, 2012), there is absolutely no reason for a Guardian ad Litem to be present. Nor is there any need for interaction with the Juvenile Court (family court) system. Essentially, Katerinas case is now a civil matter, not a criminal or juvenile court matter. Regardless, the Utah family court has refused to uphold her Motion to Terminate Jurisdiction Over the Minor Child. It is for this reason that Katerina now goes to trial. Her court date was originally scheduled to begin Monday January 28, 2013 and continue through Wednesday January 30, 2013. However, because all of the testimony could not be included within this timeframe, the trial date was extended to continue on February 12 and is expected to conclude on this date. This trial will determine whether or not Katerina will be able to seen her son again as the trial is centered around the complete termination of parental rights.

1	With a meager annual budget of $17,600 and a mostly unpaid, part-time staff of just 14, the non-profit group Citizens For A Cleaner Watershed has its work cut out for it. Citizens For A Cleaner Watershed director Brian Zuboff (far left) and other members of the group. The group, whose mission is to improve water quality in the greater Chisholm area through grassroots, citizen-based activism, faces constant opposition from powerful developers, corporate farms and large-scale industries. Yet CCW members remain avidly dedicated to their cause, diligently canvassing Chisholm with flyers and petitions, regularly speaking at town-council meetings, and publishing a bimonthly, donation-supported newsletter, Watershed Friends. Despite these efforts, however, Citizens For A Cleaner Watershed has utterly failed to change the world whatsoever. 'Yeah, I think I've heard of CCW,' said Chisholm Town Council member Doug Bleinski, whose zoning-ordinance change permitted the sale of 34 acres of town-owned marshland to developers who plan to build a housing subdivision on the site. 'They're the ones who do Sesame Street, right?' Though disappointed in the marshland sale, CCW is determined to continue educating Chisholm citizens about the environmental issues directly affecting them. 'Water quality is an extremely important issue that should concern everyone,' CCW director Brian Zuboff said. 'We want to teach people that environmental 'stewardship' is not an abstract concept practiced in the wild by a field biologist. It's something everyone can participate in, whether by properly disposing of their household waste or urging their elected representatives to enforce and strengthen existing land-use and zoning regulations to prevent unchecked urban sprawl and wasteful forms of development that harm wildlife habitats and degrade our water.' In an effort to spread the word, Zuboff and other CCW members canvas Chisholm every Wednesday at twilight. 'Not only are we able to catch people when they are most likely to be at home, but it's also the time of day when many residents water, seed and fertilize their lawnsactivities that directly affect water quality,' said Zuboff, who gives all citizens he encounters a complimentary CCW pamphlet, 16 Simple Ways To Minimize Yard Chemical Runoff. 'When I first spotted him coming up my driveway, from the looks of him in that tie-dyed T-shirt and sandals, I thought he was going to give me a lecture about not eating meat,' said homeowner Jerry Dahle, who was grilling out with his family at the time of Zuboff's solicitation. 'Then he said he was from CCW, a group I was familiar with from their silly sit-in in protest of the marshland bill. Then he had the nerve to ask me for a donation, and I told him no.' 'I am so jealous of that ponytail of [Zuboff's],' said Tina Roe, another target of CCW canvassing. 'So long and thick! Don't you hate it when guys have nicer hair than you? And I bet he hardly does anything with it other than wash-and-go.' In addition to promoting citizen awareness, the group has on numerous occasions taken legal action to protect Chisholm's water. On Aug. 30, CCW filed a civil suit against Glueco, a rendering plant near Chisholm that CCW has accused of dumping toxic waste and corrosive chemicals into a drainage pool near its factory. 'The chemicals seep into the soil and streams, eventually finding their way into the Whiteface River and poisoning the delicate river ecosystem, along with farmland throughout the watershed district,' Zuboff said. 'This suit will send a strong message to Glueco and other such corporations that, even though the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the EPA may have overlooked these illegal abuses of the land, the citizens haven't, and we're going to make them pay for it.' According to spokespersons for the district court in which the suit was filed, no hearing has been planned and, given the tremendous amount of litigation currently pending, it is highly unlikely the suit will go to trial in the next decade. By that time, the statute of limitations on Glueco's alledged violations will have expired. In early October, Zuboff will step down as director of CCW to take a post as assistant regional director of The Sierra Club. Replacing him will be Jessica Stotts, a University of Minnesota-Duluth senior who wants CCW to adopt a more politicized stance than it has under Zuboff. 'CCW has failed to change the world because Brian's bourgeois liberal approach was ineffective and compromised,' Stotts said. 'How can we just target Chisholm-area environmental concerns when even our most successful efforts wouldn't put so much as a dent in the oppressive capitalist global paradigm? Insufferable as they are, it's not the complacent suburbanites who are the problem: It's the giant, poison cock of materialism that is spewing its diseased smegma into Mother Earth's once-fertile womb.' Pledging to employ more radical tactics, Stotts said she plans to dissolve CCW and replace it with a feminist-socialist coalition that will incorporate anti-phallocentrism, veganism and prisoners' rights into the fight to protect the environment. The new strategy is expected to prove highly effective. 
2	University Makes Epic Stand Against Muslim Student Who Tries To Wear Hijab During An Exam According to recent reports, a Brazilian Muslim woman ended up failing the bar exam after she refused to remove her headscarf. 29-year-old Charlyane Souza was supposed to take the test in Sao Paulo in March, however the Brazilian bar doesnt allow for concealing headgear. The restriction is designed to prevent test takers from concealing electronic devices that might help them cheat on the exam. Souza was approached by the Organization of Brazilian Lawyers (OAB), and was pulled aside for questioning by a female official. She asked me if I really was Muslim, and if I had a way of proving it, because I could be just disguising myself as one, Souza claims. She was able to return to the test temporarily, but was later approached again to remove her headscarf. When Souza refused, she was taken to a private room to complete her test. Now, she is claiming that the distraction caused her to get 31 out of 80 on the test, thereby failing by 9 points. What do you think? Was the OAB justified in standing up for their policies? Should Souza be exempt from the rules just because of her religious beliefs? 
2	Public Begins Revolting After Obama Claims America Still Faces No Existential Threat The White House responded to questions on how progress is being made against ISIS. First, the reporter asked a simple question. So, Jen, let me rephrase that question again. Do you, does the president believe that there are no existential threats to the United States and that groups like ISIS is not an existential threat to the United States? Then the White House answered back with a typical bull crap response. Well, we wouldnt be doing we wouldnt have done 10,000 air strikes against ISIL, we wouldnt have a coordinated campaign with 60 countries around the world if we didnt think ISIL posed a treat. But I think the president believes that American power, American leadership, needs to be used to, yes, fight terrorists but also to take advantage of opportunities. And there are issues like climate change, like trade that are really important for us to address as we lead the world globally. In a recent interview with Matt Lauer of NBC, Obama said, it is sometimes important for people to step back and measure how far we have come. The economy right now is better than any other economy in the world by a significant margin. We remain the strongest nation on earth by far and there are no existential threats facing us. As you can imagine, social media has been absolutely shredding Obama apart for his responses. Hes being accused of lying, deceiving, and intentionally taking down our country along with his career. Now more than ever, people are actually considering forcing Obama out of office. Do you agree with these accusations? 
3	Possible MH370 Wreckage Found in Indian OceanBy Joshua Krause Earlier today it was reported that a piece of plane wreckage was found on the French-owned island of Reunion, just off the coast of Madagascar. The debris in question appears to be a wing flap, and while we dont know for sure if it belongs to MH370, the evidence seems to be pointing in that direction. Experts have concluded that it most likely belongs to a Boeing 777, which is the same type of plane. Police in Reunion have claimed that it looks like it was in the water for roughly a year, which would fit the time frame. Whats troubling about this development is that the debris was found 3800 miles from where the flight was last seen on radar stations in South East Asia. If this piece does belong to that flight (which if it didnt, would only raise more uncomfortable questions) then it would dramatically change the story of what happened to MH370. 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 . this is garbage? you find a 777 plane wing and we cant figure out who is belongs to???? How many of those wings do you think are floating around out there? utter nonsense. And BTW.what are they really doing on the ocean floor of the Indian ocean? what are they looking for? what was really on the plane that is so important to spend over a 150 million dollars ( and probably a lot higher). More BS for the sheeple. Lapping up these non-facts and garbage information to dissuade and confuse us from the real issue associated with this plane and the efforts to supposedly retrieve it. More lies from the elite and government. They should have spent a 150 million on those two young boys lost at sea. when will the BS end? Never. Why is that? Because our species is 95% stupid. Thats a fact. And they simply dont care. Thats a fact. everyone is too busy with there BS phones, cars and other trinkets along with selfish eating, entertaining and stimulation. A sick society that deserves exactly what it gets. there was something on that plane and everyone and their mother wants it. Debris 3800 miles away?? The PTB know exactly what happened. But the nonsense will continue until people start asking pertinent questions and demanding leaders who are transparent and willing to be honest with the people. Perhaps their ought to be a LAW that forbids any type of lying or exaggerating by leaders, or they will be imprisoned or hung for treason. There all fn crooks right now and deserve nothing more than being impoverished and imprisoned like that which has occurred to so many millions of innocent people. F off with your BS stories and articles. Lets see some real investigative news or research. Stop passing this BS for news or fact! They found the wing of MH-17??

Craig Sytsma, 46, was on a jog on July 23, when two dogs belonging to the illegal immigrant couple attacked him. He was taken to the hospital, where he eventually died. Sebastiano Quagliata, 45, and Valbona Lucaj, 44, reportedly appeared in court on charged of second-degree murder for the incident. They also were charged with possessing a dangerous animal. When local news stations reported the incident, they accidentally failed to mention that the defendants were both living in the United States illegally. What do you think their punishment should be?

3	They Can Kill You With the Push Of a Button: Gaping Security Holes In Your Electronic Health RecordsMac Slavo While computer and network security issues are rampant across every manner of digital device, a breach on your android phone or the government monitoring your real-time Internet chats through backdoors doesnt pose an immediate threat to your health and safety. But with the continued centralization of our personal records, especially our electronic health records (EHR) under new universal health care mandates, theres a new risk to every single American, and one that leaves us physically exposed to the real threat of being killed with the push of a button. When Scot Silversteins 84-year-old mother, Betty, starting mixing up her words, he worried she was having a stroke. So he rushed her to Abington Memorial Hospital in Pennsylvania. After she was admitted, Silverstein, who is a doctor, looked at his mothers electronic health records, which are designed to make medical care safer by providing more information on patients than paper files do.He saw that Sotalol, which controls rapid heartbeats, was correctly listed as one of her medications. Days later, when her heart condition flared up, he re-examined her records and was stunned to see that the drug was no longer listed, he said. I had the indignity of watching them put her in a body bag and put her in a hearse in my driveway, said Silverstein, who has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit. If paper records had been in place, unless someone had been using disappearing ink, this would not have happened. Source: Bloomberg via Market Ticker Some might assume the medical records systems being used by physicians and hospitals all over the country are secure. Why wouldnt they be, as they literally hold life saving (or life killing) information? But according to an assessment from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services this essential medical information is far from invulnerable, which means that a simple mistake by a medical clerk or a premeditated cyber hack could leave you or your loved ones at the mercy of a faceless computer, and a medical staff that assumes it is 100% accurate: Three risks common to both paper and electronic records include include: 1) the risk of inappropriate access, 2) the risk of record tempering, and 3) the risk of record loss due to natural catastrophes. With electronic records, inappropriate access manifests itself in one of two ways: 1) an unauthorized user gains access to the EHR data; or 2) an authorized user violates the appropriate use conditions. For example, if office staff access the records of a friend or colleague that visited the practice. Electronic records can be subject to serendipitous access in situations such as when a user account is left open or a passerby is able to view data on the screen or manipulate the EHR features. Electronic records can also be subject to breaches of network security that may allow a hacker to gain access to user credentials and thereby to bypass the access control protections. The ability to make changes to an electronic record depends upon the rights assigned to a user. Users with data modification privileges can generally add, delete, or modify data or entire records. Data can also be tampered with by directly accessing the files stored on the EHR servers using a server account rather than an EHR user account. Fires, floods or other environmental disasters attack physical locations and can result in the complete loss of both paper and electronic medical records. Accidents like natural disasters are going to happen, and a complete loss of medical record information is something that can be mitigated through off-site back-up systems. The real problem lies in the security vulnerabilities outlined by the HHS. Our medical records are being centralized into one massive database, and by putting all the data in one place we are creating an easy mark for hackers. We know how simple it is to hack a social network account, or email, or even a web site. Millions of credit card numbers are stolen through online hacking on a daily basis across the world. Weve had hackers gain access to essential grid utilities like an Illinois water utility plant and take control of its treatment facilities. Were also well aware of the fact that our major oil refineries and power grid have staggering security holes. The threat of malicious attacks is more real now than ever before as more systems come online and connect directly to the Internet. Our medical records are no different. In fact, with so many people across the country having user accounts to the front- and back-end systems, these system may be more vulnerable than even our personal email accounts. The critical difference here is that access to your medical records poses an immediate and catastrophic threat to your health and well being. Whether by accident or on purpose, your personal files can be easily accessed and modified. According to Karl Denninger, the scary thing is that it can be done with no notification of the change in the system, no audit trail that was immediately visible on the change and no means for the attending physician to immediately, at a glance, know that the record had been changed. Whats worse is that the medical establishment believes that it actually owns your medical records. Heck, we dont even own our DNA any more according to the Supreme Court, so it would only make sense that your medical history, diagnoses over the years, treatments and assessments belong not to you, but to the government and medical industry. This, of course, further complicates the issue, as you have no idea what may have been modified because gaining access to your records may require you to jump through hoops for weeks or months to obtain a copy of your personal medical history. Thousands of Americans are killed every year because of medical malpractice. And in coming years, as we become more dependent on Electronic Health Records, there is a real possibility that nefarious individuals with the intent to harm you directly, or even engage in a mass attack on our health care system, will modify medical records with the intention of killing people remotely. It sure seems like a convenient mechanism for engaging in stealth assassinations should someone choose to do so. When a mass-shooter kills scores of people with a gun in a movie theater or school there is an outcry to disarm the American people. What about the threat of mass-killings by way of hacking the medical records of millions of Americans? Will the government move to ban all electronic medical records as well? Doubtful theres just way to much money and control at stake. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	Badass Female Student Drags Her Sexual Attacker By The Hair Straight To The Police Its always empowering to hear a story of justiceand that is exactly what happened when 20-year-old Mandhare was attacked one afternoon and she decided to take action. When a man attempted to assault Mandhare at around 2:30 PM, more than 50 onlookers stood by and gawked as she fought back. People stopped to stare, Mandhare told reporters. But no one bothered to even ask what was going on. Without the help of the public, Mandhare was forced to fight her attacker off on her own. Eventually, she was able to get him by his hair and drag him to the police station. I could overpower him because he was stinking of alcohol and I could make out that he was drunk, she continued. She knew she couldnt let the 25 year old man get away with his actions. Filing a complaint is a length process, Mandhare told reporters. It involves giving a lot of statements and, sometimes, dealing with uncooperative officers. But I was firm on taking that man to the police. What do you think? Are you proud of Mandhares strength and bravery in standing up to her attackers. 
1	With the savage roar of the heathen Democratic horde rising all around him, President Barack Obama delivered an incendiary speech to close his partys national convention Thursday night, commanding the ultraprogressive minions in attendance to help him destroy Jesus and usher in a new age of liberal darkness that shall reign oer the earth for a thousand years. The thunderous 45-minute addressduring which the president argued for a second term so that he could finally kill Jesus once and for all, as well as all those who worship himwas well received by the frenzied, wild-eyed audience, whose piercing chants of Four more years! and Slaughter the believers! echoed throughout the Time Warner Cable Arena. My fellow Americans and godless infidels, I command you to join me as we cast an endless pall of far-left evil across the hills and valleys of our nation! Obama bellowed from the stage, as thousands in attendance moaned in compliance and gyrated their hips and groins in a lascivious dance. Together, as a barbarian people forged by the wicked flames of irreligiosity and united by visions of a liberal dystopia, we will rise up as one to scorch the earth with boundless amorality. The streets shall run red with the blood of forced sodomy, performed daily upon every American man, woman, and child! the commander-in-chief shouted, froth forming around his mouth as the crowd threw hundreds of aborted fetuses onto the stage. Die, Christians, die! Slamming his fists on the lectern until his hands began to bleed, Obama proceeded to lay out a three-point plan of sin and lechery for his second term. If reelected, the president said, he would begin by banning organized religion entirelystarting with Christianityand burning all churches to the ground, preferably with their wretched, Jesus-loving congregants still huddled inside like rats. As members of the audience violently tugged at their genitals and howled like sex-starved, atheist wolves, Obama stated that his administration would then seek to make free, taxpayer-funded abortions legal at any stage of pregnancy, even up to one full year after birth, in order to supply his newly created federal stem-cell harvesting plants with raw materials. In addition, the cackling president vowed to end traditional marriage as we know it by passing legislation that would allow only homosexuals to raise children, a longtime Democratic policy goal. A glorious new age of sinister, unconstrained liberalism is dawning! Oh, dear Satan, I can feel it coursing through my veins at this very moment! shrieked Obama, ripping off his shirt to reveal an ornate tattoo of a pentagram, with a different homosexual act positioned at each of the stars five points. Agnosticism, contempt for human life, and radical sexual experimentation shall rule the day! Any good, virtuous, family-values-oriented Christian Americans who seek to topple our magnificent liberal kingdom of eternal darkness will be powerless to stop us! We will crush them!

Please, Father, I love him! cried the headstrong youngest daughter of the monarch as she flung her arms around the former Massachusetts senators neck and refused to let go. He is a good man, a kind man, and he is the one I have chosen. He wants only to love me, Father. If you kill him then you will kill me too, for our hearts are forever entwined. At press time, the strong-willed princess was still clinging to the 2004 presidential candidate and imploring her father to look within himself and remember how it felt when he too was in love. 
3	Never Forget 9/11 ... And Never Stop Asking What It Really WasJeff Berwick This year comes with a little bit extra, however. Like a surprise Christmas eve gift, this years 9/11 eve came with something even more insane than normal. Nobel peace prize winner Barack Obombya made a special appearance on American TV programming (its not called programming without reason) to try to plead his case to rain down hell upon innocent men, women and children somewhere else. The most fascinating part about what he was saying is that Americans must now support Al-Qaida (Al-CIAda) to kill people in Syria! Why? Because its a war on terrorism! That war, by the way, was supposed to be against people like Al-Qaida who, according to the official conspiracy theory (see video below for the story in just five minutes), started the war on terrorism on September 11th, 2001. Now on the eve of 9/11, 2013, Barack Hussein Obama makes the case for fighting alongside Al-Qaida in Syria. You could never have told me that last sentence ten years ago without me snorting my drink out of my nose. In fact, I have a hard time repressing my chortle at this moment. How absolutely dumb-downed is the average US populace to even be able to swallow this stuff? Ed Asner, who I was shocked was still alive, apparently woke up out of his stupor to give a reasonable answer. When asked what happened to all of Hollywoods celebrities who were so adamantly against war when George Bush was the President and why they arent standing up now, Asner answered, A lot of people dont want to feel anti-black by being opposed to Obama, he said. Well, they shouldnt feel that way since Barack Obama is white. As much as he is black. That is, if anyone has any idea who his real father even was. But, obviously, if the reason you support someone is purely based on the color of their skin then you are, by definition, racist. Hollywood and music celebrities like Sheryl Crow, George Clooney, Bruce Springsteen, Sean Penn and Timothy Robbins who were so adamantly pro-Obama and anti-war seem to have just disappeared. Aside from Obama and Syria and all of todays problems, though, is, what really happened on 9/11, twelve years ago, to start this horror story, cause millions of deaths and more than $5 trillion in expenditures? If you are one of literally a dozen thinking people in the US who actually use their own brains and still arent sure the official story is full of holes, start here: If hundreds of facts and evidence arent enough for you to make you question the official story and you are more of a follow the money type, then watch this video. It is full of evidence of how it was all done for profit. If after that you still dont have some doubts, then you may be so absolutely mentally retarded that I dont know how you have even read this far. But, if by chance you are some sort of engineering or science idiot-savant who does not understand things represented to you that arent from a scientific perspective, watch this: If 1,600+ architects and engineers stating that the official story is impossible still isnt enough, ask the hundreds of pilots who say that the official story was not possible at PilotsforTruth.org. Or ask the medical professionals who quetion the official story. Or if you put your faith in people who work in government services, ask the hundreds of Firefighters for 9/11 truth. And, if after all of that you dont have any questions at all about the official government story on 9/11 you are such a deeply troubled, brainwashed slave that I highly doubt youve even read this far. But if you have, and after being presented with all this evidence you are not willing to even entertain the fact that youve been duped out of fear that your worldview, since your 12 years of government indoctrination camps and TV programming, is all wrong then you need to grow a pair and man up. That all said, there are still many who I know in the freedom movement who will say that it does us no good to keep bringing up 9/11. They know, through evidence, that the official story isnt even close to true, but they say that we are hurting the freedom cause by driving away people who arent ready for the truth. Well, I say they are ready. And if we can awaken people to the truth of what happened on September 11th, 2001, and they realize their own government is the terrorists, as Obama is showing today in Syria, and that there is an urgent need to get away from the worst of these governments, we will witness a massive human awakening that will rid us once and for all of all big government and we will eventually have smaller and smaller government until we reach euphoria and we have seven billion governments on Earth. And, Ill never stop bringing it up, every September 11th, until they do. Never forget 9/11. Anarcho-Capitalist. Libertarian.

2	Welfare Leech Brags About Using Drugs And How She Will Never Work [VIDEO] A radio show in Austin, TX called KLBJ made headlines after hosts held a segment about Americans on welfare, claiming that some people would rather sit around and wait for a free check than go to work. The statement caused an instant reaction in welfare recipients, and one listener called in to express her feelings. The woman, who identified herself as Lucy, claims that she will always be on welfare. The 32-year-old woman went on to describe why she will never return to work. She is currently receiving benefits in the amount of $1,200 a month, and her husband is receiving financial assistance as well for the family. Well, I only pay $50 a month for rent, Lucy told the radio hosts. Its supposed to be $600 something, so theres $550 right there. I get $425 a month for food stamps. I get $150 a month to pay my electric bill. I get a cell phone and then I get $100 a month paid towards for water. Lucy is the mother of three children, and resents the comment that people who work are good people. She claims that she is a good person, even though she is receiving benefits. I just want to say white workers out there are people like you that are preaching morality at people like me living on welfare, can you really blame us? Lucy asked of the host. I mean, I get to sit home, I get to go visit my friends all day, I even get to smoke weedBut you know, if somebody offered you a million dollars, no strings attached, would you walk away from it? When prompted by the host, Lucy went on to claim that she thinks working was foolish when people can make the decision not to work and still get paid. She then goes on to tell the reporters that she does not intend to get off welfare. What do you think? Are people like Lucy exactly what is wrong with our system? Does she need to be kicked off the benefits system immediately? 
3	The Fed Is Desperate To Keep Gold From Exploding HigherBy Dave Kranzler The price of gold moved up $15 overnight from the time the Asian markets opened until the Comex gold pit opened. Shortly after the Comex paper gold market trading was underway, an avalanche of paper contracts was dumped onto the Comex both the electronic trading system and the floor. This is what it looked like: Golds path looks like Niagara Falls in the graph above shortly after the Comex opened this morning because someone decided to dump over 55,000 contracts onto the Comex. 55k contracts translates into 5.5 million ounce of theoretical gold. Theoretical because its only in theory that the Comex has 5.5 million ounces of gold to deliver. Currently the Comex is reporting a little over 697k ounces that are available to be delivered into the paper gold contracts that the banks print up and dump on the market. The Comex vaults are showing a little over 7 million ounces in total in the vaults. This is highly theoretical because most of the gold is accounted for the big bullion banks. I use accounted for loosely because there is no mechanism in place to hold the banks accountable for what they are reporting. In other words, the amount of physical gold reported by the Comex is likely nothing more than a suggestion. In the next graph theres been a definitive trading pattern that doesnt take Einsteins eyes and brain to see. For the last three trading days, gold has moved higher prior to the opening of the Comex floor in NYC only to be price-smashed with a deluge of paper contracts representing little more that theoretical gold. But I prefer the real thing. I actually welcome these price hits because it enables me to move theoretical electronic currency from my bank account into a bona fide gold currency in a BITGOLD account. When gold moves higher, my net worth will be the beneficiary of the Feds market interventions. I look at it as grabbing my share of the wealth being transferred by the Fed/Government from the besotted middle class to those who know whats going on. Of course, the more interesting question begs to know the real reasons the Fed is compelled to make its market intervention activities so blatant. One look at the economic reports being released from non-government sources and the condition of the U.S. Governments balance sheet readily answers that question You can read more from Dave Kranzler at his site InvestmentResearchDynamics.com. Darn it it I like the $10,000 per ounce reality. 
3	Shocker: Up to 30,000 Lois Lerner Emails RecoveredLily Dane Up to 30,000 missing emails sent by former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner have been recovered by the IRS inspector general, five months after they were deemed lost forever. The U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) informed congressional staffers from several committees on Friday that the emails were found among hundreds of disaster recovery tapes that were used to back up the IRS email system. Does anyone else find it funny that suddenly shortly after midterm elections these emails have been recovered? Is this timing a coincidence? I doubt it. Remember, back in June, the IRS told us that they could not locate most of Lois Lerners emails. Lerner is a key figure in the Tea Party targeting scandal. The agency said that a computer crash in 2011 caused an untold number of emails to be wiped out. Then the Watchdog organizationJudicial Watchfiled a FOIA request for the documents, and naturally, the IRS refused to provide them. It was only after the group filed a lawsuit that they were able to obtain the documents which were quite damning: Judicial WatchPresident Tom Fitton explainedthe implications of the new information: These new documents show that officials in the IRS headquarters were responsible for the illegal delays ofTea Party applications. It is disturbing to see Lois Lerner mislead the IRS internal investigators about her offices Tea Party targeting. These documents also confirm the unprecedented pressure from congressional Democrats to go after President Obamas political opponents. The IRS scandal has now ensnared Congress. The IRS claimed to have gone to great lengths to try to recover data from Lerners computer in 2011: In emails provided by the IRS, technicians said they sent the computer to a forensic lab run by the agencys criminal investigations unit. But to no avail. The IRS was able to generate 24,000 Lerner emails from the 2009 to 2011 because Lerner had copied in other IRS employees. The agency said it pieced together the emails from the computers of 82 other IRS employees. But an untold number are gone. Camps office said the missing emails are mainly ones to and from people outside the IRS, such as the White House, Treasury, Department of Justice, FEC, or Democrat offices. Anti-tax advocate Grover Norquist called the episode the worst attempt to blame technology in service of a cover-up since the infamous 18-minute gap in former President Richard Nixons Watergate tapes. In July, two US District Court judges ordered the IRS to start coughing up some answers. One judge gave IRS officials an August 10 deadline to provide a declaration signed by an IRS official, under oath explaining exactly how the agency managed to lose two years worth of Lerners emails. Another judgegave the IRS until July 18 to find out what happened to the crashed hard drive responsible for erasing two years worth of Lerners emails. He also wanted to know if the hard drive is traceable through a serial number. If the information was truly gone, that judge said he wanted anaffidavit written under penalty of perjury by an IRS IT professional with firsthand knowledge of the situation. Then, surprise! In August,Department of Justice attorneys for the IRS admitted that Lois Lerners emails DO exist on a backup server, but said they would be hard to find. Department of Justice attorneys for the Internal Revenue Service told Judicial Watch on Friday that Lois Lerners emails, indeed all government computer records, are backed up by the federal government in case of a government-wide catastrophe. The Obama administration attorneys said that this back-up system would be too onerous to search. The DOJ attorneys also acknowledged that the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) is investigating this back-up system. And now, heres what a Congressional aide told the Washington Examiner: They just said it took them several weeks and some forensic effort to get these emails off these tapes. TIGTA said it will take a few weeks to sort through the emails. Private taxpayer information will need to be redacted before the emails are presented to Congress. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said late Friday that his committee is ready to examine those emails, and said he was hopeful they might shed light on how Lerner operated: Though it is unclear whether TIGTA has found all of the missing Lois Lerner emails, there may be significant information in this discovery, he said. The Oversight Committee will be looking for information about her mindset and who she was communicating with outside the IRS during a critical period of time when the IRS was targeting conservative groups. So much for a phony scandal. Looks like this is about to become more real than ever. Lily Dane is a staff writer for The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared.

3	15 Reasons Online Anonymity is So ImportantDave Maass In this view of the Internet, everyone elses anonymity is worth sacrificing to silence the trolls. Its easy to understand why some in the press have this perspective. If you work in online media, the bulk of your interactions involve news stories, which seem to draw the ugliest forms of discourse. If youre a public figure, youre faced with haters on Twitter who are obsessed with enumerating all the ways you suck. Theyre even worse in the comments on YouTube. A website, such as Slate, certainly has the right to determine the culture of its online community, and I dont have a position whether such sites, across the spectrum, should or should not allow anonymous comments, or even allow comments at all. I do, however, dispute this narrow vision of the Internet. So, I spent the weekend brainstorming and jotting down all the kinds of people who would lose out if anonymity no longer existed in any form on the Internet. Anonymity is important to: Political Gabfest listeners. Each week, the hosts encourage listeners to post comments. Of the 262 largely positive customer reviews on iTunes, only a handful see value in using their real names. Anonymity is important to anyone who doesnt want every facet of their online life tied to a Google search of their name. It is important to anyone who is repulsed by the idea of an unrelenting data broker logging everything she has ever said, or shown interest in, in a permanent marketing profile. And more. Bazelon describes anonymous comments as generally a big mistake for free societies. I disagree and point to Common Sense by Thomas Paine, originally published under the anonymous byline, an Englishman. (Perhaps that could be Gabfests next Audible recommendation.) To suggest anonymity should be forbidden because of troll-noise is just as bad as suggesting a ban on protesting because the only demonstrators you have ever encountered are from the Westboro Baptist Churchthe trolls of the picket world. People who say otherwise need to widen their experience and understanding of the online world. The online spaces we know and love would be doomed without anonymity, even if the security of that anonymity is far from absolute or impenetrable. The ability to explore other identities, to communicate incognito, to seek out communities and advice without revealing your identity is not only a net positive, but crucial to preserving a free and open Internet.

Although there is an extradition treaty between the USA and Hong Kong, they failed to arrest Snowden, citing incomplete paperwork issued by Washington. China has said it is very concerned over claims by Mr. Snowden that the United States hacked Chinese IT targets. Putin always seems almost eager to stick a finger in the eye of the United States whether it is Syria, Iran and now of course with Snowden. The Senator told CNN. Along with Venezuela and Cuba, Ecuador is a member of the ALBA bloc, a group of leftist governments in Latin America that are known for and pride themselves on their anti-imperialist stance. The United States has revoked Snowdens passport and as such has requested that he be denied onward international travel. Source linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	Visitors to Brightons Fairview Cemetery confirmed that since early this morning, former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has been kneeling at his fathers gravestone and tearfully apologizing to the late politician for his loss to Barack Obama in Tuesdays election. All I ever wanted to do was please you, and I failed. I am so, so sorry, Romney reportedly said as he ran his fingers along the marbled engraving of his fathers name, quietly sobbing while wiping away dirt from his tear-streaked face. I tried as hard as I could. Honestly, Dad, I did. Can you ever forgive me? Sources reported that a disconsolate Romney finally left the plot after a deep, guttural voice emanated from the ground and said, Youve disappointed me, Mitt. Go away. Forever.

2	Federal Judge Orders Sheriff Joe To Undergo Training For Unbelievable Reason According to recent reports, Sheriff Joe Arpaio has just been sentenced to training by U.S. District Court Judge Murray Snow. His sentence aims to show that his office will no longer single out Latinos during traffic and immigration stops. A report from Think Progress details the long history between Arpaio and Snow, that has been shaped by ruling after ruling against Arpaio for supposedly profiling Latinos. Still, Arpaio claims that he is just enforcing immigration law. Snow ordered Arpaio and the countys officers to undergo bias-free policing training, in instruction that included role-playing scenarios, interactive exercises, and lecture formats. Essentially, this is the equivalent of sensitivity training HR seminars some people are required to attend at work. Of course, Sheriff Joe deemed the mandate a waste of time and is yet to follow through with the course. He apparent found the order absurd and ludicrous. What do you think of the ruling?

The female driver seen in the following video drove by the unmarked car and flipped a friendly bird. Only to be tailgated by the unmarked car which soon sped up and flashed police lights. Turns out, she was a confident law student Evidently, this was a self-proclaimed off duty officer who asked for her identification, registration and proof of insurance. When asked if he was on duty he replied, we are always on duty, maam. She has to repeat, am I being detained? a number of times before he answered, no. So she did what was within her rights she left. He said, Ok, Ill see you VROOM Speaking of claims, none of the surrounding jurisdictions the law student called will claim him as their own, or even stake claims on knowing who he is. In that regard, the student did the best thing for her own safety. She describes in the YouTube description, It cannot be emphasized enough that flipping the bird is not illegal, and not a cause for physical harm, arrest, charges or traffic stops. What was this bumbling man going to write her up for? Nothing, just assert his perceived authority in the situation, harass, waste time and try to find justification. But it was she who asserted true personal power. Know your rights. Know how to handle yourself with the police. [Thank you, Free Thought Project for finding a replacement video for the previous YouTube that was removed!] Recently fromAmanda Warren: The Whiskey Rebellion was NOT about making whiskey, it was about tax collection on the whiskey. Yes, Im very aware of that. Knives and clubs murder more people than guns, just go look at the stats from the D.O.J. Tell that to the people living in Chicago, who have the strictest guns laws in the country and the highest death by guns. The evidence shows you to be WRONG. You really should stop listening to studies done by colleges instead look at the actual figure released by the FBI, DOJ, CDC. They all show gun deaths are very low on the items used to kill people. Give up nobody can fix stupid. Hitler expanded gun rights for 99% of citizens. I would like the US to be safer, like all other advanced nations. Wouldnt you? The crime stats for murder at the fbi website at expanded table 8 shows gun murders as more than 2/3 of all. Look it up . I accept your apology if you have the guts to admit YOU are full of crap 
2	Trump SHOCKS America After Revealing Radical Tax Plan Republican front-runner Donald Trump has been criticized from his competitors and the media for having grand ideas for our country with little explanation of how he plans to execute them. That all changed this week when he revealed his tax plan, which aims to simplify the tax code by cutting the current number of tax brackets down to four. The new plan has an impact on nearly all Americans, with a substantial increase in the number of people who dont pay taxes and for married filers who bring in less than $50,000. The wealthy, on the other hand, stand to lose a large number of deductions under the plan. Its a tax reform that I think will make America strong and great again, Trump assured the public. He also promised major tax relief for middle income and most other Americans. Corporate tax rates will also be cut in the new plan, which Trump believes will lead to a boom in economic activity. What do you think of Trumps plan? Do you support him? 
1	In what is being hailed as a landmark preservation effort, federal officials announced plans Monday to set aside a 600,000-acre tract of pristine wilderness so that future generations of Americans can pollute it. We have a responsibility to ensure that this country continues to have beautiful woodlands, fresh streams, and breathtaking vistas where one day our children and grandchildren can toss their refuse and dump their industrial waste, said Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell, who noted that despoiling the environment is the birthright of every American citizen. They too should know what it feels like to clear-cut an idyllic forest, poison a crystal-clear lake with chemical runoff, and permanently devastate a fragile ecosystemnot to mention what it feels like to level a majestic mountaintop with dynamite to access the coal beneath. If we dont act soon, the experiences so many of us take for granted will become little more than a memory. Jewell expressed her disappointment, however, that tomorrows children would never know the joy of driving the Tacoma pocket gopher and ivory-billed woodpecker to extinction.

At press time, none of the residents leaving the meeting had noticed a plaque on the door that reads 'Spencer Gottleib Memorial Common Room.'

She Just Lost Every Single BLM Voter [WATCH] According to recent reports, Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is not happy that video evidence of a very interesting interaction with a black man has surfaced. In the footage, an unidentified black man attempting to have a discussion with Clinton about violence in black communities. He argues that white violence will always be the core of the problem. Hillary does not let him finish before she interrupts him and says: If that is your position, then I will only talk to white people. The man told her that she misunderstood him, and shifted the conversation to changing hearts. Clinton once again interrupted the man, saying she didnt believe in changing hearts, but rather changing laws and the allocation of resources. That has been on the liberal agenda for some time now, as long as it benefits them. Clinton repeatedly claims that she is a champion of the people. She claims she wants black Americans to stand behind her. But the truth of the matter is she is just as careless with those relationships and she is with anything else. What do you think? Do we need Hillary to stay far away from the White House? 
3	Number ONE Enemy of the StateSARTRE, Contributor Any discussion in the civic realm begins with a cultural viewpoint. An attitude toward the proper role of the individuals relationship with government based upon ones value system and interpretation of civil order is natural. One mans patriot is another mans traitor. Where do you stand on the sentiments behind the penning of the below ideas? Quiz yourself and see if you can figure out the name of the author. The quotes assembled in this essay illustrate that government officials and agencies would put the critic on a terrorist watch list. Read each and compare if the thought behind the passage agrees with your value system or if the attitude is too extreme for mainstream politics in todays America. If left up to the national security apparatus, the author would be on a wanted poster, labeled as the Number One Enemy of the State. I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it. What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? It is better to tolerate that rare instance of a parents refusing to let his child be educated, than to shock the common feelings by a forcible transportation and education of the infant against the will of his father. It is strangely absurd to suppose that a million of human beings, collected together, are not under the same moral laws which bind each of them separately. Many people complain about government but most consent to the dictates of authority as a required acceptance of citizen obedience. How many times have you heard the viewpoint it is your duty to act in compliance with the law as the price of a civilized society? The vast majority obeys whatever regulation or edict comes their way. This fact keeps the system functioning. The standards set forth for your submission often evolve, but people learn to adjust. Pushing the envelope of the acceptance quotient varies in intensity, but seldom does government retreat. The state is the final judge of acceptability, because force is the ultimate weapon of threat for disobedience. Ruling regents restrain, ignore or discard eternal indivisible rights if a conflict exists with the interests of the state. Freedom can be a very treacherous opponent for a municipal establishment. You can just hear the opposition to the next series of quotes. The idea that natural law permits all legitimate authority is downright radical and inhibits the living Constitution. No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him. The majority, oppressing an individual, is guilty of a crime, abuses its strength, and by acting on the law of the strongest breaks up the foundations of society. To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first. I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever. Governments pursue greater influence and range of regulating behavior. As the state grows the tentacles of reach expands. Challenging this trend risks acceptance and imposes penalties. Torturing the meaning of fairness, the state uses all the muscle of intimidation and brute coercion, to justify public acceptance of the methods used to gain conformity. Testing the limits of government forbearance is an act of courage that most shy away from undertaking. Open confrontation is chastised as behavior of a delinquent subject. Confiscation of individual wealth for the greater good champions the supreme sacrifice that transforms into the shared cost of being part of the great government governance. Conferring legitimacy and respect for government programs and policies is the criterion of a loyal national. Deviating from symbolic recognition and deference must signify that the person is hostile to the good works of public sector. Advocates that express dissent are tabbed as agitators and threats, calculated to challenge the survival of the state. The role of government amplifies as the drumbeat of the welfare clause vibrates to the inner soul of the nation. This group of citations adds fuel to the fire that the writer is an enemy of the state. Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms (of government) those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious. The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government. Resistance to government abusive authority qualifies the opponents of the regime as outlaws. Envision claiming that government can become a tyrant and implying that revolt is justified. Advocating acts of rebellion and equating an ethical mandate surely qualifies the essayist as a foe of the government. Self-defense and individual autonomy disturbs the state. The all-encompassing scope of government involvements and intrusions claim that such practices, warranted for the public good, are valid. Challenging this omniscient authority qualifies one as an antagonist of the sovereign master. Disputing the entrenched submission to the state as an instrument of rule is perilous to the magistrates. Punitive prosecution of indignant protestors must be a prime directive of the state. Granting access to the corridors of power and rule to the generator of the next thoughts is unthinkable. Allowing these words to influence the population is dangerous. Such ideas desecrate the purity of government genuineness. The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. When wrongs are pressed because it is believed they will be borne, resistance becomes morality. By now, you should have a good idea who wrote all these quotations. Many complacent Americans are uncomfortable with the spirit and intent of this wisdom. The ageless insights apply as succinctly as when they were first uttered. These words disturb many cowardly peons, who abdicate their self-dignity by willingly pronouncing their allegiance for the state, especially when the conduct based upon coercion and dependency is the norm. The State is the enemy when authorities assault individual liberty and embrace collectivism. The sage of these quotes would be demonized as a rebel and unelectable in todays PC environment. Secure in his place is history, the current political class often rejected the origins and truth in the ideas. The Democratic Party has strayed a very long way from their anti-federalists beginnings. The most avid voices of condemnation and dismissal in the message of the verses shout out for an all controlling and omnipresent government. Therefore, the call for limited government is a primary reason to label followers of the intrepid author as enemies of the state. In case you have not figured out the authorship yet, review the Solitary Purdah essay and discover the answer. America is in deep trouble because the country has lost its way and people scorn their heritage. Instead of cherishing sound principles and universal values, the population has embarked on a self-destructive rush for fallacious gratification. In order to continue the decadent orgy of debt and entitlements, dependants swear fidelity to the State, deny their natural birthright, and avoid intrinsic responsibilities.

1	In an effort to stimulate discussion, resolve party conflicts, and increase legislative productivity, members of the 111th Congress were once again required to watch an instructional video on bipartisan collaboration this week. Senators reluctantly watch the section on 'non-vitriolic communication.' 'Since both House and Senate seem unable or unwilling to compromise on several issues regarding tax money, earmarks, or even seating arrangement, we have decided to take drastic action,' Vice President Joe Biden told a special joint session of Congress Monday. 'Hopefully this will give you some tools you can use to lend a hand, and maybe an ear, across the aisle.' 'And please, no talking on cell phones during the video,' Biden added. 'I'm looking at you, Senator Reid.' Article 1, section 8 of the Constitution specifies that the legislative branch must watch the instructional training film 'A Vote For Understanding' once every six years. The 30-minute video was made in 1976 and stars former Sen. William Proxmire (D-WI), who guides viewers through a series of short lessons about the importance of listening to the opposition without interrupting, yelling, or filibustering. At this point, the film is meant to be paused for a joint-resolution exercise. After calling the mandatory session to order, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wheeled in a cart with a television and VCR and instructed Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell to dim the lights. The film opens with a dramatization of two legislators tugging at opposite ends of the same bill, until Proxmire steps into frame and freezes the action by calling a 'time out.' While an up-tempo synthesizer track plays in the background, Proxmire teaches the bitterly divided congressmen to look at each other, open their minds, and work together instead of relying on threats and walkouts. Another scene revolves around a heated appropriations dispute, and encourages lawmakers to always 'S.H.I.N.E.' by using the five steps of legislative cooperation: 'Show respect, Hold back anger, Identify common ground, Nation first! and Emerge with compromise.' At another point, a split screen depicts two congressmena Democrat and Republican wearing blue and red hats, respectivelyengaged in a shouting match over a bill's rider. The screen dissolves to reveal the two men facing away from each other, yelling in opposite directions. Proxmire then rotates the legislators' chairs around and switches their hats, teaching both a profound lesson in seeing government through the eyes of the opposition. Despite the video's distinct message of compromise, cooperation, and not completely ignoring and then vilifying members of an opposing party, many lawmakers called it 'unrealistic and outdated.' Some claimed their time would have been better spent arguing over provisions of the upcoming health care reform bill. 'That's great: Here we are dealing with the worst recession since World War II and we have to watch a friggin' bipartisanship video,' Sen. Mike Enzi (R-WY) said. 'What a waste of time. I already saw that back in '97 when I first took office.' 'This kind of Democratic grandstanding is exactly why I didn't read a single clause in the economic stimulus package before I voted against it,' Enzi added. Most lawmakers sat with members of their own party during the mandatory screening and spent the entirety of the afternoon slumped over in their chairs. While both sides mostly kept to themselves, there was one moment of bipartisanship during a scene in which Proxmire tells viewers to take a moment to cross the aisle and introduce themselvesto which someone loudly replied, 'Yeah right,' causing both parties to burst into laughter. 'I don't need some boring movie to teach me about partisanship,' said Rep. Robert Andrews (D-NJ), adding that he could not believe the junior senator from Alaska was actually taking notes. 'I'm one of the most partisan people around. Ask anyone.' Sen. Jim Risch (R-ID) was also dismissive of the instructional film, saying that if he ever actually went along with its 'corny' message of tolerance, he would lose the respect of everyone in Washington. Said Risch, 'Ooh, I just can't wait to listen to Democrats! I'm totally going to consider their feelings and long-term initiatives before voting. Pff. As if.' A small group of legislators, however, said they appreciated the viewing experience. 'I think it was pretty good,' said Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV), who appeared in the film with a thick head of brown hair. 'I wouldn't mind watching it a second time.' There are a number of other videos Congress is bound by law to watch periodically. The most commonly shown films include 'Commerce Regulation And You,' 'Budgets Made Easy,' 'So You've Been Re-Elected ,' and 'Drunk Driving: Dying Under The Influence.' Upon conclusion of the video, Democratic and Republican leaders went out onto the National Mall for a smoke break and, after some levelheaded discussion, determined everything was the executive branch's fault. 
1	Jesus Christ insisted to reporters Monday that He has 'absolutely never spoken' to Philip Burkett, rejecting the 48-year-old Lutheran-college administrator's claim of having 'a close, personal relationship' with the prominent savior. Elkhart Lutheran College administrator Philip Burkett, who claims to have spoken to Jesus Christ (inset). 'I categorically deny having had any prior contact whatsoever with Mr. Burkett,' said Christ at a press conference called to quell rumors of a Christ-Burkett dialogue. 'At no point have I ever conversed with this man.' Christ was responding to remarks published in the July issue of the Elkhart Lutheran College alumni newsletter, in which Burkett said he decided to become the school's Assistant Director of Student Affairs at the urging of the Messiah. 'It was in 1994 that I answered the Lord's call,' Burkett wrote. 'Since then, I've been here in Elkhart, doing His work.' Burkett, who was an analyst at an Indianapolis marketing firm at the time Christ allegedly spoke to him, said he had been feeling dissatisfied with his career but 'just didn't know where to turn.' 'It was during the height of my discontent that, following a Sunday service at my church, I quite involuntarily found myself drawn to the bulletin board in the vestry, where a job vacancy was listed for an administrative post at a Lutheran college up in Elkhart,' Burkett said. 'It was if some inscrutable force was guiding me. I now know it was Jesus Christ, telling me it was time for a change.' Christ denied being anywhere near the Indianapolis church, explaining that he was 'speaking to a sickly young boy' in Asuncin, Paraguay, at the time of the alleged conversation. 'Just what that 'inscrutable force' was, I cannot tell you,' Christ said. 'But I do know it was not Me.' 'What was his name? Bartlett? Beckett?' Christ asked. 'I have a hard time telling those middle-class suburban types apart.' Despite the Messiah's denial, Burkett said he is convinced that the voice he heard was that of Christ. 'Perhaps Christ's insistence that He never spoke to me is His way of testing my faith,' Burkett said. 'But whatever it is, I still want to give bounteous thanks to God's only son for bringing me more happiness and contentment than I ever dreamed possible.' According to Burkett, additional proof that he had spoken to Christ came shortly after he completed his interview for the administrative position. Still uncertain whether such a radical career change was advisable, Burkett happened to drive past a rural cemetery, where he saw a small, cross-shaped tombstone, before which grew a single white rose. 'It looked just like Luther's Rose, the sacred emblem of Lutheranism. Suddenly, all my doubts fell away,' Burkett said. 'I am not ashamed to tell you that I had to pull the car over to weep and give thanks, not only because the white rose was Jesus' way of telling me I would get the job, but because I was continuing His work.' Christ called the flower-sighting 'a complete coincidence.' 'When I first heard that a man in Indiana was claiming I told him to become a Lutheran-college administrator, I was sort of amused,' Christ said. 'When I speak to someone, I'm used to them having--how shall I put it?--loftier goals than a mid-level administration post. This really isn't the sort of thing I usually bother intervening in.' 
2	This State Is Requiring Their Police Officers To Do Something Horrible Or Else Risk Being Fired For some absurd reason, there has been an ongoing debate about whether those working and living in America should be required to speak English, the native language of our country. Now, the Jackson, Mississippi police department just passed the outlandish requirement that officers take a Spanish language course four times a year, or they are at risk of losing their jobs. The purpose of this program is for our officers to learn basic commands, Police Chief Lee Vance told Fox News Latino. Were not looking to make anybody fluent. Once a quarter, officers will be required to attend a two-hour long class intended to teach them the basics of the Spanish language. The class is not optional. The program is designed for people who have no knowledge of the Spanish language, Dr. Brian Phillips, one of the volunteer instructors, told reporters. Anytime you have a life-threatening situation, you could be causing problems for that person who does not understand the system when there is a language barrier. Of course, the resolution is not being met without controversy. We should be encouraging legal immigrants to become citizens learning English, claims Bob Dane, a spokesperson for the Federation for American Immigration Reform. What do you think? Should learning Spanish be a required part of police training? 
1	During a postgame press conference Saturday in which he registered disappointment at being shut out for the 22nd time this season, Nationals manager Manny Acta became visibly confused after being told by reporters that his team had actually scored a run during its 6-1 loss to the San Diego Padres. 'If we scored like you say we did, there's no way we got it by hitting the baseball and advancing the runners, because I would have remembered something like that,' a skeptical Acta said. 'What I do recall is a lot of weak ground balls back to the pitcher, botched sacrifice bunts, and double plays to end innings. Maybe we walked or people got hit by pitches four consecutive times?' When informed that first baseman Aaron Boone hit a two-out RBI in the 8th inning to score Emilio Bonifacio, Acta responded, 'Yeah, right.'

3	The Financial Apocalypse Accelerates As Middle East Stocks Crash To Begin The WeekBy Michael Snyder Much of the chaos around the globe is being driven by the price of oil. At the end of last week the price of oil dipped below 30 dollars a barrel, and now Iran has announced plansto add 1 million barrels to its daily crude production Iran could get more than five times as much cash from oil sales by year-end as the lifting of economic sanctions frees the OPEC member to boost crude exports and attract foreign investment needed to rebuild its energy industry. The Persian Gulf nation will be able to access all of its revenue from crude sales after the U.S. and five other global powers removed sanctions on Saturday in return for Irans curbing its nuclear program. The fifth-biggest producer in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries had been receiving only $700 million of each months oil earnings under an interim agreement, with the rest blocked in foreign bank accounts. Iran is striving to add 1 million barrels to its daily crude production and exports this year amida global supply glut that has pushed prices 22 percent lower this month. It doesnt take a genius to figure out what this is going to do to the price of oil. The price of oil has already fallen more than 20 percent so far in 2016, and overall it has declined by more than 70 percent since late 2014. When the price of oil first started to fall, a lot of people out there were proclaiming that it would be really good for the U.S. economy. But I said just the opposite. And of course since that time we have seen an endless parade of debt downgrades, bankruptcies and job losses. 130,000 good paying energy jobs were lost in the United States in 2015 alone because of this collapse, and things just continue to get even worse. At this point, some are even calling for the federal government to intervene. For example, the following is an excerpt from a CNN article that was just posted entitled Is it time to bail out the U.S. oil industry? Americas once-booming oil industry is suddenly in deep financial trouble. The epic crash in oil prices has wiped out tens of thousands of jobs, caused dozens of bankruptcies and spooked global financial markets. The fallout is already being felt in oil-rich states like Texas, Oklahoma and North Dakota, where home foreclosure rates are spiking and economic growth is slowing. Now there are calls in at least some corners for the federal government to come to the rescue. Is it just me, or is all of this really starting to sound a lot like 2008? And of course it isnt just the U.S. that is facing troubles. The global financial crisis that began during the second half of 2015 is rapidly accelerating, and chaos is erupting all over the planet. The following summary of what we have been seeing in recent days comes from Doug Noland The world has changed significantly perhaps profoundly over recent weeks. The Shanghai Composite has dropped 17.4% over the past month (Shenzhen down 21%). Hong Kongs Hang Seng Index was down 8.2% over the past month, with Hang Seng Financials sinking 11.9%. WTI crude is down 26% since December 15th. Over this period, the GSCI Commodities Index sank 12.2%. The Mexican peso has declined almost 7% in a month, the Russian ruble 10% and the South African rand 12%. A Friday headline from the Financial Times: Emerging market stocks retreat to lowest since 09. Trouble at the Periphery has definitely taken a troubling turn for the worse. Hope that things were on an uptrend has confronted the reality that things are rapidly getting much worse. This week saw the Shanghai Composite sink 9.0%. Major equities indexes were hit 8.0% in Russia and 5.0% in Brazil (Petrobras down 9%). Financial stocks and levered corporations have been under pressure round the globe. The Russian ruble sank 4.0% this week, increasing y-t-d losses versus the dollar to 7.1%. The Mexican peso declined another 1.8% this week. The Polish zloty slid 2.8% on an SP downgrade (Tumbles Most Since 2011). The South African rand declined 3.0% (down 7.9% y-t-d). The yen added 0.2% this week, increasing 2016 gains to 3.0%. With the yen up almost 4% versus the dollar over the past month, so-called yen carry trades are turning increasingly problematic. Closer to home, the crisis in Puerto Rico continues to spiral out of control. The following is an excerpt from a letter that Treasury Secretary Jack Lew sent to Congress on Friday Although there are many ways this crisis could escalate further, it is clear that Puerto Rico is already in the midst of an economic collapse Puerto Rico is already in default. It is shifting funds from one creditor to pay another and has stopped payment altogether on several of its debts. As predicted, creditors are filing lawsuits. The Government Development Bank, which provides critical banking and fiscal services to the central government, only avoided depleting its liquidity by halting lending activity and sweeping in additional deposits from other Puerto Rico governmental entities. A large debt payment of $400 million is due on May 1, and a broader set of payments are due at the end of June. It isnt Michael Snyder from The Economic Collapse Blog that is saying that Puerto Rico is in the midst of an economic collapse. That is the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury that is saying it. Those that have been eagerly anticipating a financial apocalypse are going to get what they have been waiting for. Right now we are about halfway through January, and this is the worst start to a year for stocks ever. The Dow is down a total of 1,437 points since the beginning of 2016, andmore than 15 trillion dollars of stock market wealth has been wiped out globally since last June. Unfortunately, there are still a lot of people out there that are in denial. There are a lot of people that still believe that this is just a temporary bump in the road and that things will return to normal very soon. They dont understand that this is just the beginning. What we have seen so far is just the warm up act, and much, much worse is yet to come. 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. A good time to profit from that rapid movement in the markets. Bernie (bernanke) was put in place to pump. Yellin to dump.

According to reports, the protesters blocked traffic, before surrounding a Nissan truck that was being driven by a white man. The rioters threatened the driver, who ultimately made the decision to plow through the crowd. To most, its obvious he was acting in self-defense. But that didnt stop race-baiters from claiming he had committed a hate crime and releasing their own, one-sided version of the story. They claim the boy had been yelling racial slurs since the beginning of the protest, and that he doubled back to where protestors were blocking the road so that he could run them over. One protester took to Facebook to complain about the incident. Read her post below and tell us what you think. Shit. 
3	Not Just Surveillance 3 Current Phenomena Exposing 1984 as an InstructionBy Claire Bernish And Big Brother-like surveillance though undoubtedly relevant imparts only the most obvious, and therefore least pertinent, connection on the list. Oceania was at war with Eastasia: Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia, Orwell wrote of two of the three remaining nation-states on the planet. Though it analogizes Russias mercurial relationship with Nazi Germany, the same volatility aptly fits U.S. involvement in the Middle East where, though propaganda would purport a decisive enemy, the truth remains far murkier. A constant state of undeclared but active war rules foreign policy driven almost exclusively by the war machines profiteering from plundering of foreign lands natural resources. Big Oil, Big Pharma, and the multi-faceted defense industry have experienced exponential profits since perpetual war became the de facto basis of foreign policy and Big Banks share in the reward. But all of this war requires the U.S. government maintain support from the public and what better way to win them over than appeal to fear of the Other? When John Brady Kiesling, a career diplomat, tendered his letter of resignation to Secretary of State Colin Powell, he piercingly criticized the warped factors driving both American domestic and foreign policy surrounding the needless war in Iraq with barbs unfortunately equally applicable today: We spread disproportionate terror and confusion in the public mind, arbitrarily linking the unrelated problems of terrorism and Iraq. The result, and perhaps the motive, is to justify a vast misallocation of shrinking public wealth to the military and to weaken the safeguards that protect American citizens from the heavy hand of government. September 11 did not do as much damage to the fabric of American society as we seem determined to [do] to ourselves [] Has oderint dum metuant [Let them hate so long as they fear] really become our motto? After the attacks of September 11, 2001, it became immediately evident American government had its jackpot ticket for war in perpetuity the only necessary condition being wool sufficiently ambiguous to cover the publics eyes in fear. Since that time, under the guise of national security, Big Brother-like domestic surveillance has become so thoroughly entrenched in our lives as to be virtually ignored by the general populace. As a necessary and insidious outgrowth of massive spying, the government attempts to cultivate fearful citizen-spies, by employing the not-at-all ominous If You See Something, Say Something catchphrase-titled program. Of course, the government arm responsible for this and other programs the overarching Department of Homeland Security seems ripped directly from the pages of 1984. Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind, Orwell noted in his 1946 essay, Politics and the English Language. This observation aptly summarizes U.S. war propaganda in its entirety with a constant government-backed corporate media blitz surrounding the war on terror shaping public perception of what constitutes terrorism, and who, a terrorist. Betting on Americans cognitive dissonance, historical amnesia, and tacit acceptance of spoon-fed, baseless patriotism, the government doesnt often find barriers to inculcating a blanket support for obtuse military missions. War so saturates every aspect of life, when the Pentagon announced last week forces had already been on the ground in Yemen for two weeks, the public instead trained its focus to the latest installation of Captain America. And never mind the detail that ground support of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in Yemen would be allocated for fighting al-Qaeda a different faction of the same group the U.S. currently employs as somehow less dangerous terrorists to assist deposing Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. Moderate rebels is thus the Newspeak term for terrorists the American empire finds usable making terrorist and terrorism utterly conditional terms. Of course, the government failed to explain how a war on the concept of terrorism should play out if that terrorism depends on circumstance or, more accurately, whim but once instituted, paranoia surrounding the word opened the floodgates for battling terrorism inside the United States. Exactly as Orwell cautioned in 1984 and precisely as Kieslings foreboding resignation letter predicted it would. How does a government persuade its citizens their enslavement would be desirable and beneficial? Frame it as necessary protection against any threat to their fundamental security and implement more contentious aspects of said servitude in palatable microsteps. Fear of terrorism or, more directly, xenophobia constitutes sufficient reason for many to cast off basic human rights through increasingly invasive laws and governance. Legislation, however, isnt by far the sole vehicle available to the government. In a culture so utterly imbued in paranoia, neighbors arent only willing to spy on neighbors or complete strangers, to that end theyre willing to alert law enforcement should they observe Something. One perfect example of the absurdity of the If You See Something, Say Something citizen spy program occurred this week when a woman, suspicious of cryptic notes penned by the person seated next to her on an American Airlines flight, decided to Say Something. The flight was delayed for over two hours, the FBI was called, and an egregious commentary on paranoia and xenophobic profiling in the U.S. became one of an unfortunate many for the history books. This unbelievably unaware woman told on acclaimed University of Pennsylvania economics professor, Guido Menzio who had been scribbling a complex math formula in a notebook. Menzio posted his experience on Facebook, describing his encounter with the FBI after being briefly pulled from the plane, writing: They ask me about my neighbor. I tell them I noticed nothing strange. They tell me she thought I was a terrorist because I was writing strange things on a piece of paper. I laugh. I bring them back to the plane. I show them my math. Menzio, to the unnamed woman, was guilty of terrorism because his Italian ancestry gifted him with darker complexion and hair, and because her lack of education and state conditioning caused her to see dark terrorist plots in mathematical formulae possibly, and disturbingly, because she mistook it for Arabic. Restrictions on travel arent limited to fearful passengers, either, as the notoriously invasive Transportation Security Administration has made air travel an almost unbearably onerous task. A recent report predicts grueling airport delays due to the combination of a 10 percent reduction in TSA staff and a 15 percent increase in the number of expected travelers. Though a PreCheck program is offered by the TSA, people simply arent signing on likely because theyre forced to submit to an even more invasive background check. And it isnt as if the TSA has a stunning success rate in thwarting terror attacks, either though it does have a successful track record for restricting freedom of travel. While the government would like you to believe TSA safety measures protect the country from terrorism, evidence lies with a far more laughable reality like the time a CNN journalist once had her container of pimento cheese confiscated by agents. Another report indicated the underpaid and understaffed TSA is largely incompetent. Congressman Stephen Lynch explained, We had folks this was a testing exercise, so we had folks going in there with guns on their ankles, and other weapons on their persons, and there was a 95 percent failure rate. Essentially, terrorist paranoia is working exactly per the Dept. of Homeland Securitys design otherwise ordinary Americans are now guilty, simply by being present. Guilty of being non-white. Guilty of speaking a language other than English. Guilty of math. Guilty of possession of cheese spread. But most of all, guilty under the system that would rather pit neighbor against neighbor lest those neighbors realize they have more in common with one another than with the powers claiming to have their security in mind because that realization might bring anger, dissent, and potentially action to topple those powers-that-be. And entirely different dystopic restrictions on travel hearkening almost exactly to the 1930s Nazi Germany that so influenced Orwell can be found in police checkpoints. Of dubious legality, law enforcement checkpoints for everything from drunk driving to heroin to seatbelts have become commonplace around the U.S. In the name of safety, police bottleneck traffic, test sobriety, search cars, write revenue-generating tickets, and even arrest those found guilty or who try to avoid the trap. And this lack of the ability to travel freely the basic right to mobility without restriction is only one highly specific example of coercion as the new norm. Entire books could be justifiably penned to discuss the ridiculousness of licensing requirements summarized briefly as the state taking a right away from you in order to give it back to you at an often red-tape-heavy price. In the dystopic new millennium, the State requires children to seek permitting for such traditional activities as shoveling snow or setting up their own lemonade stands and alarmingly have been shut down for failing to do so. You dont even have to be accused, much less charged, with a crime to have your own property and cash seized or more accurately, stolen by the State, which it then may use for whatever shady purpose it chooses. This unchecked policing-for-profit scheme has created a freakishly telling figure, as described by The Free Thought Project, law enforcement in America has stolen $600,000,000 more from Americans than actual criminal burglars. Freedom to simply live ones life, without harming another, has been co-opted by a State hell bent on maintaining slavish control of its people. Considering at least one of the aforementioned examples would be sufficiently blood-boiling to even those who consider themselves law-abiding or patriotic, the State also has in place multiple strategies to thwart the dissemination of accurate, truthful information thus preemptively quashing dissent. State indoctrination begins early with compulsory schooling beating the victors history into impressionable, young minds. William Blum, journalist, author, and CIA and U.S. foreign policy critic, describes in his book, Americas Deadliest Export: Democracy The Truth About US Foreign Policy and Everything Else, how indoctrination has so insidiously usurped education as to be imperceptible to the unaware [emphasis added]: American leaders have convinced a majority of the American people of the benevolence of their governments foreign policy. To have persuaded Americans of this, as well as a multitude of other people throughout the world in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary must surely rank as one of the most outstanding feats of propaganda and indoctrination in all of history [] It is not at all uncommon to grow to adulthood in the United States, even graduate from university, and not be seriously exposed to opinions significantly contrary to these prevailing myths, and know remarkably little about the exceptionally harmful foreign policy of the government. Its one thing for historical myths to rise in the absence of a written history of a particular period, such as our beliefs concerning the Neanderthals; but much odder is the rise of such myths in the face of a plethora of historical documents, testimony, films and books. Indoctrination stands as perhaps the most powerful tool a State could wield without imposing actual, physical violence. Patriotism often acts as a means of self-policing whereby a populace relentlessly criticizes any segment not wholly on board with devotion to that State. Orwell also keenly understood this, as is clear in 1984s protagonist, Winston Smiths description of the youngest citizens of Ingsoc (an abbreviation for English Socialism the governmental ideology firmly entrenched in that fictional time period). Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it. The songs, the processions, the banners, the hiking, the drilling with dummy rifles, the yelling of slogans, the worship of Big Brother it was all a sort of glorious game to them. When the State manages to hoodwink millions of people, facilitating an imperialist empire isnt a cumbersome task. Blum analogizes the American people to the children of a Mafia boss who do not know what their father does for a living, and dont want to know, but then wonder why someone just threw a firebomb through the living room window. Endlessly frustrating those who have taken advantage of self-education in the age of information, arguments proffered by government propaganda such as waging wars to bring about peace, or that the U.S. aggressively and violently invades other countries for democracy and freedom take root with no basis in reality. Belief other nations will steal our (already nonexistent) Democracy if we dont invade them first insidiously infiltrates even learned segments of the population. Though such inexplicable reasoning readily evidences justifications necessary for popular support when the U.S. spontaneously violates international law concerning war, the people still believe the lie in great part, thanks to corporate medias incessant confirmation of American exceptionalism. Ignorance of the breadth of American imperialism the reality of its plundering resources around the planet, its actions as an enforcement arm of the plutocratic corporatocracy, and the violence it employs on innocent civilians wherever it chooses remain unknown to the majority in this country. With essentially all information available a click away, this ignorance amounts to little more than aflat denial of reality. Saying my government would never do that might be one thing, but refusing to investigate whether or not the statement holds weight is essentially admitting the government takes precedence over truth. Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? Orwell wrote in the dystopic classic. It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and of being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain. But the American indoctrination of ignorance most chillingly corresponds with a particular passage from 1984 one marking the self-imposed homogeneity of a people scrambling over one another to exemplify patriotism. The ideal set up by the Party was something huge, terrible, and glittering a world of steel and concrete, of monstrous machines and terrifying weapons a nation of warriors and fanatics, marching forward in perfect unity, all thinking the same thoughts and shouting the same slogans, perpetually working, fighting, triumphing, persecuting three hundred million people all with the same face. Much of what Orwell proffered as dystopic fiction has since manifested perhaps not so much, as is popularly believed, because the government took the novel as an instruction manual. But because 1984s dire warning seems so inconceivable, perhaps most people have yet to realize its darker portents have already come to pass. Protagonist Winston Smith ultimately succumbs to the lure of Big Brother and the State but it remains up for debate whether the authoritarian nightmare will take as firm a chokehold on the United States. To resist such a reality is the work of a true protagonist not through violence or destruction, but through seeking a lesser ignorance. The linchpin to Orwells dystopia, and to the current one, is the perception of ignorance as strength.War is most certainly not Peace to a well-informed populace, nor is Freedom Slavery. It is up to us to plant the seeds of knowledge which will inevitably grow into that well-informed populace who will then see thereality of the horrid path weve since embarked. Tis the nature of humanity to err, but weve managed to be resilient nonetheless sometimes the hardest path is the only way there. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Have frequently said 1984 is a manifesto. Right. I have long thought that 1984 was way too accurate to be just a good guess by a perceptive novelist. I think a whistleblower let Orwell see the oligarchs blueprint for the future, but if he had written it up in a non-fiction book not only would people have dismissed it as pure conspiracy theory, but he possibly could have gotten his inside source killed. So instead it was written as fiction and became the most enduring novel of all time. I believe this also, and the fact it was (dont know if it still is these days) required reading in high school for my generation. Orwell intentionally planted all these notions and memes into the collective mind, reinforced by forced reading by everyone, so that we would create the events via our thoughts. Thus it was a successful predictive programming experiment and the reason it is manifesting now. On the good side, it is also proof that not only does the collective create reality, we can uncreate it just as easily. Interesting how much truth there is in Fiction; something todays generation has been effectively deprived of via computers, Xboxes, and Political Correctness-totally clueless that the many great authors of the 20th, 19th, 18th Centuries could inform people about reality through fictional accounts. Have also felt the fiction of 1984 is becoming the reality of today. Had my epiphany the day after the last election. I thought I knew so many who would vote for reason and a rejection of the insanity, only to find that those who are in control remain in control. That day we were all Winston. Today, all the speculation of gold vs. Banks, freedom vs. terrorism, privacy vs. Security etc. Are all managed by the puppet masters of which we have no say or power to change. What is coming down the pike, is going to make what the story line in 1984 was look like picnic. It will not be pretty. I pray that those who are not saved, get a revelation and those that are, help witness to those that are not. My prayers for all to accept Christ and be saved.

2	BREAKING: Obama Makes Landmark Decision That Effects All Property Owners According to recent reports, Obama has just issued a new order called Waters of the United States, a measure that is supported by the Environmental Protection Agency and could have some serious consequences for property owners with water or ditches on their land. The efforts, in partnership with the Army Corps of Engineers, is designed to outline which bodies of water are protected by the 1972 Clean Water Act. The measure has the potential to include water that is currently on private property. If this is the case, property owners will have limited use of water that they once owned. Property owners will not be able to engage in activities they should be able to engage in, Daren Bakst, a Heritage Foundation researcher told reporters. This will be devastating to private property rights. Its an attack on private property rights. Most people dont have the money to pay for all these permitsIts not uncommon for an agency to broadly interpret language, but based on court precedent, it is going way too far inexceeding what it is allowed to do. Still, the Obama administration claims the rule is designed to protect the environment. Were limiting protection to ditches that function like tributaries and can carry pollution downstreamlike those constructed out of streams, the EPA wrote in a statement. Our proposal talked about upland ditches, and we got feedback that the world upland was confusing, so well approach ditches from another angle. What do you think of Obamas efforts? Are you tired of him stripping Americans of their rights? 
1	PLEASANTVILLE, NYReader's Digest editors reported Monday that submissions to their 'Humor In Uniform' feature have fallen off sharply since 2001. 'The submissions that are trickling in are just not making me laugh,' said Jackie Leo, an editor at the magazine. 'I'm looking for amusing send-ups of peeling potatoes on KP duty, not another vignette about a soldier waking up screaming because he accidentally shot a pregnant Iraqi woman.' Leo said she almost published one soldier's story about being financially devastated by shrinking veteran benefits 'just to help him out with the $300 publication fee, but it just wasn't funny enough.'

2	Fox Makes Shocking Announcement About Bill OReilly Fox News host Bill OReilly has been facing massive public criticism amid reports that he has lied about his war stories from the Fauklands War in 1982. In fact, liberals have been circulating a petition in an attempt to convince Fox to fire OReilly, but the network is speaking out in support of their anchor. Bill OReilly has already addressed several claims leveled against him, Fox claimed in a statement. This is nothing more than an orchestrated campaign by far left advocates Mother Jones and Media Matters. Responding to the unproven accusation du jour has become an exercise in futility. Fox News wasted no time telling liberals exactly where they stand. Fox News maintains its staunch support of OReilly, who is no stranger to calculated onslaughts, the network concluded. What do you think? Do you support OReilly? 
2	Michelle Obama Didnt Realize The Cameras Were On When She Got Caught Doing THIS Throughout her husbands presidency, Michelle Obama has been notoriously frivolous with our tax dollarsusing them to fund her own lavish lifestyle. Despite repeated protests from hardworking Americans, she did this once again this weekend, when she showed up to Obamas final Kennedy Center Honors gala on Sundaywearing a ridiculously expensive designer gown. This week, Vanity Fair reported that Michelle showed up to the event wearing Gucci, marking the first time she wore a gown designed by a non-American. Some think that this decision was intentional, given that it coincided with Prime Minister Matteo Renzis announcement that he would be resigning. We always take into account where we are going and that countrys cultural norms. The goal is to pay tribute to each place we visit, never losing the spirit of the United States, Michelles stylist said last month in an interview with Harpers Bazaar. The New York Times supported this theory, noting it was the first time she had worn a non-American designer to the event in the eight years she had attended. Such a choice in not casual, especially on an evening watched by millions The article did admit this could be coincidence, before concluding, But more likely, given her history with dress and the way she has used it as a strategic tool, she was also doing what she could to stress the importance of Italian fashion at a delicate time; making a discrete gesture of solidarity with a country and an administration and an industry. What do you think of Michelles decision? 
3	Drones Against America?Will House Boston just had domestic terror suspects in their community. What if the president decided to send drones against terrorist suspects in Boston (or any other city), as it does on a daily basis against suspected terrorists in other countries? There is nothing in place to stop him. This much is clear: In order for the government to send drones against people they wish to spy on or to attack, they must have GPS-coordinates. Are the people of Boston aware that Lockheed Martin collected their census data? Lockheed Martin is not only a military contractor but a major producer of GPS systems (led by the Global Positioning Systems Directorate at the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center), and drones. Are they aware that Lockheed Martin trespassed onto their property and that of Americans across the country and GPS-tagged their homes without any permission? Why did the Census Bureau award a $500 Million Dollar Contract to Lockheed Martin Corporation, The Worlds Largest Defense Contractor? In 2004 the United Nations Secretariat published a pdf entitled United Nations Expert Group Meeting to Review Critical Issues Relevant to the Planning of the 2010 Round of Population and Housing Censuses. Subtitled Integration of GPS, Digital Imagery and GIS with Census Mapping On page 2 it says 4. The census symposium, held in New York in 2001, provided a comprehensive review of the significant capabilities of GPS, Satellite imagery, GIS and handheld computers, and their relevance to census mapping operations. This study is about GPS mapping during the census process. A Similar pdf from the UN Dept. of Economic and Social Affairs Statistic Division says that the aim of the meeting was to set priorities and propose concrete outputs for thedevelopmentof the 2010 World Population and Housing Census Programme. The meeting was attended by representatives from 18 countries including the US who was represented by Jay K. Keller, Chief of International Relations, US Census Bureau. In July 2006 NPR carried the story, Census Bureau Adopts GPS to Find American Homes, where it states, Two-and-a-half years from now, in early 2009, the Census Bureau plans to send an army of 100,000 temporary workers down every street and dusty, dirt road in America. They will be armed with handheld GPS devices. Robert LaMacchia, head of the Census Bureaus geography division, says theyll capture the latitude and longitude of the front door of every house, apartment and improvised shelter they find. We will actually knock on doors and look for hidden housing units, he says. We will find converted garages; from the outside, it may not look like anybody lives there. But census workers will add each dwelling, legal or not, to the Census Bureaus Master Address File. Recent proposed budget cuts have put part of this plan in jeopardy. But if Congress restores the money, the census will end up with the geographic coordinates accurate to within 10 feet for about 110 million residences. Several defense contractors were awarded contracts to help carry out this operation in the US. From a $500 Million dollar contract awarded to Lockheed Martin, see link, to HARRIS who supplied the GPS handheld devices used by census workers. While Bostonians are facing the astounding shutdown of their entire city in martial law fashion because of suspected terrorists (and trying to face the news coming in that the bombing was a CIA operation and a false flag), they must now face the reality that Congress has allowed for drones to be used in the US with no safeguards whatsoever, and the president has the power to order their use to assassinate untried Americans. What would have been the result to the community if a drone attack had been used to kill the young suspect found hiding unarmed in a boat in someones backyard in Watertown? Continuing from the article Why Did the Census Bureau Emphasis added. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act facilitates the government use of unmanned spy planes in US airspace and approves deployment of 30,000 by 2020. It also requires the FAA to rush a plan to have as many in the air as possible within 9 months. These drones have been used for spy and assassination missions worldwide. According to an article in Wikipedia U.S. Air Force (USAF) Chief of Staff General T. Michael Moseley said, Weve moved from using UAVs primarily in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance roles before Operation Iraqi Freedom, to a true hunter-killer role with the Reaper. In a report by NewScientist one drone manufactured by Lockheed Martin, one of the contractors used by the census bureau, the RQ-170 Sentinel craft, may have been brought down in Iran by jamming its GPS signal. Tying this altogether it seems as though the government has implemented the UN plan to GPS mark all residences and this will make it possible to send in drones instead of personnel when the governmentchoosesthereby removing the human element from the situation. You cannot reason with a drone and it cannot make a judgement that it may be operating on faulty intel. Also, there is the potential for the enemies of this country to crash these drones because of the GPS vulnerability. John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute, is calling on Congress to be proactive in adopting safeguards to protect Americans against the domestic use of weaponized surveillance drones. In his written testimony to the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee, Whitehead pointed out that there has been no public discussion whatever of the issue of the dangers or the numerous risks, and warned against any government use of drones without appropriate civil liberties protections Rutherford Institute is calling on local, state, and government officials to adopt legislation that would limit domestic use of drones, in an environment in which at least 30,000 drones are expected to occupy U.S. airspace by 2020. Mr. Whitehead stated: If we have learned one thing from President Obamas rash use of drones in the United States counterterrorism efforts overseas, it is that this technology is too powerful, too lethal and too indiscriminate for us to allow it to be unleashed on the American populace before any real protocols to protect our safety and privacy rights have been put in place, said constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead. We cannot afford to wait until after these drones have been deployed domestically to establish clear guidelines. Such an approach can only end in tragedy. [Emphasis added.] The American people have not even begun to consider what it would mean if the government thought a terrorist was in their neighborhood or even community and used drones. Previously the question was whether people were willing to give up rights to feel safe from terrorists, but the question now posed by drones is quite literally, Are the American people ready to give up their lives and the lives of those dear to them? Put most plainly, are people willing to be blown to smithereens to stop a suspected terrorist? Would people in Boston have been? Would any people in any American city have been? 1. Why was a private military contractor collecting US census data? 2. Why were they allowed to trespass on property across the country to take data that had not obtained a legal right to? 3. Why is the government collecting data that is linked directly to the capacity to send missiles into American homes? 4. Why was that targeting data sent to the White House? 5.. What would have prevented the president from ordering strikes in Boston under current law or his recent executive orders giving himself the right to assassinate anyone? It goes without saying that the military contractors making the drones have a vested interest in using them. Does it also go without saying that the results would, instead, be indistinguishable from war, and with exactly the same military contractors involved? linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	How to Turn Kids Into Debt Slaves: Toymakers Busted for Data Mining ChildrenBy Daisy Luther Back in the old days, we learned that if we were jerks to the neighbor kids, wed get clotheslined playing Red Rover. Ouch. But, lesson learned, dont be a jerk or if you are, expect that people will react accordingly. These days, no one is playing anything dangerous like Red Rover or tag. Heck, you could practically get arrested for suggesting such hazardous pastimes. But playtime is still preparing children for a very specific future. Like life in the Surveillance State, for example. Or how to become a consumer debt slave from the moment you begin to earn money.Information that is innocently given away can be used in manipulative and corrupt ways, and now, businesses are targeting very young children and beginning the data collection early. In adark and dangerous corner of the web, there lurks all sorts of bad characters, people who lurk on social media gaining trust and personal details from children for some form of their own perverted gratification. But did you know that some of the folks out there lurking and mining information from your children are representatives of three major toy manufacturers and a childrens TV station? Probably not the image they want to cultivate, but it turns out, its true. You know those toys that you can get your kids that have a cool corresponding website online? The ones where your kiddo can register a dolls birth certificate or where your children can pit their electronic race car results against the results of other kids? Maybe your child can even play learning games there? Those are the ones. Those seemingly harmless and innocent sites are data-mining information from your kids, and stashing it away to use later. The owner of the Nickelodeon TV network and three well-known toy makers have been found guilty after their websites were found to contain tracking technology. Other websites are still being investigated over the same allegations. And let me tell you, the judge sure cracked down on these companies that make literally hundreds of millions in sales each year. What theyre doing is very similar to what those store loyalty cards do. Theyre figuring out your childs interests and then targeting them as consumers. In our buy, buy, buy society, were all oxen being put in a consumer yoke that leaves us deeply in debt, enslaved to our jobs, and in search of our next shopping fix. And data is the tool theyre using to harness us to this machine. Of course, for companies like these, the fines are laughable. $85??? Seriously? The take-home lesson here is that something had to be done, but what they did was an insult to concerned parents everywhere. The judge in charge obviously doesnt care in the least that a) laws put in place to protect children were violated and b) these children have been data-mined and that information is out there. Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said: Now children live online and we have to police the internet as we seek to police our streets, I dont want there to be a dossier on any child that can be used later to scam them. In the United States, its illegal for websites aimed at children under 13 to have any means of gathering information on the sites users unless parental permission is sought and granted. None of the websites investigated had complied with this law. Dont worry, though. Theyve learned their lesson. They promise. All four of the businesses have signed a legally binding agreement to monitor their sites to ensure that childrens details are not kept and to make sure that they dont fall afoul of the law in future. Even if they had complied, many parents think nothing of signing up children for online educational websites and mindlessly granting permission for their youngsters information to be stored. After all, whats the big deal? Watch this clip to learn what the big deal is. Be careful what information you put out there about your children. All of those fun quizzes on the websites you sign them up to are painting a picture. Right now, that picture is being used to target your kids for marketing Later, as new algorithms are created, who knows what that information will be used for? Some of the information is dark data. That is information that they have no use for now, but it is being stored for a time when it can be used. This story makes me feel much better about my choice to greatly limit electronic toys and games when my kids were little. Of course, back in the olden days when I was raising toddlers, the toys werent attached to the Internet, but still. Books dont spy on you. You have to wonder how often this goes on and we dont know about it. I think if we knew, even the most suspicious of us would be astounded. Most of the ways companies data mine seem so innocent, often fun, and rarely extremely intrusive. But those small bits of information can add up and tell an awful lot about you or your children. Safeguarding our children should be of paramount importance but its impossible to act on something you dont know about or if you dont understand the threat. In the weeks leading up to the Christmas holidays, children across the country will be online looking for the latest must-have toy or game.Make your choices with this story in mind.

Her website, wherethis article first appeared, offers information on healthy prepping, including premium nutritional choices, general wellness and non-tech solutions. You can follow Daisy onFacebookandTwitter, and you can email her atdaisy@theorganicprepper.ca .and then we have Standard Innovations Corp. Currently being sued for tracking users of their Smart Vibrators which are linked to a smart phone as a controller. Chris White from Law Newz revealed that after the Def Con convention geeks demonstrated how this was being done remotely to track your most intimate moments there is a lawsuit against this company that includes many statutes violated even the possibility of hackers causing a technical remote rape by taking over the device. There is a bigger picture. They are eliminating/ demonizing normal child hood activities so that the children wont go trough the normal rites of passage and become fully functional adults. The idea is to make them basket cases utterly dependent on the system. That way they will defend/ strengthen the very system that so massively messed them up and enslaved them. Its certainly good to know when data mining is going on, so one can avoid it if desired, but my own feeling is that Id rather see ads for things Im interested in than ads for things Im not. 
2	Obama Family Members Suffers Serious Health Complications Michelle Obama has faced immense humiliation with the monumental failure of her school lunch programs. Now, the First Lady is hoping to gain sympathy of the American people by sharing the story of the health scare that inspired her to come up with the plan. When our girls were young, Barack and I struggled to juggle the demands of our jobs with the needs of our family, and we didnt always take the time to prepare healthy meals, Michelle confessed in a recent interview. It got to the point where our pediatrician pulled me aside and recommended that we make some changes in how we were eating. So, essentially, Michelle is attempting to make up for her own parenting mistakes. And todays students are her guinea pigs. Michelle went on to explain that the medical advice forced her to introduce fruits and veggies into her daughters diets. We also made sure to have healthy snackslike fruits and vegetablesout on the counter or on an easily-reachable shelf in the fridge, Michelle continued. Finally, we found that getting our girls involved in preparing meals helped get them excited about trying new goods. What do you think? Do you sympathize with Michelle or does this just reinforce that she lacks basic leadership skills? 
2	Stupid Thug Invades Home And Stabs 75 Year Old Man, 80 Year Old Grandma Blows Him Away According to recent reports, an intruder broke into a home in Monroe, Washington and began stabbing a 75-year-old man. Fortunately, his 80-year-old wife was home and took matters into her own hands. The woman reportedly grabbed her gun, walked into the room, and shot the man who was stabbing her husband. The 25-year-old criminal died at the scene. After the woman shot the intruder, she called 911. Her husband was taken to nearby Harborview Medical Center, where he is now in stable condition. Authorities discovered the intruder had a long criminal history. It is fortunate that the woman had a firearm in her home and had been trained to use it. If she had waited for police to arrive, her husband likely would have died. Major crimes is investigating the incident. If this woman is charged with any crime for protecting her home and family, it will be an outrage to those who understand the vital importance of our Second Amendment rights. 
3	Report reveals Japanese nuclear safety experts received large sums of money from nuclear industryMadison Ruppert, Contributor According to a report put out by Japans Kyodo News a whopping four out of six experts on the panel drafting new safety standards have received funds from companies directly involved in the nuclear industry. The grants, donations and compensation range from 3 million yen (around $37,290) to over 27 million yen (around $335,600) each, according to data released by the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA). While the NRA claimed that the members of the panel have been selected in line with rules, and there should be no problem, Kyodo News rightly points out that critics say the members judgments might be swayed by the wishes of donors, exposing safety regulations to the risk of being watered down. The NRA requires experts like the ones assigned to draft the new safety standards to disclose the funds they receive but they have no rules for disqualifying them in light of such information, according to AFP. One of the experts, Akira Yamaguchi, a professor at Osaka University, received at least 27.14 million yen in both donations and research grants from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., a company which just happens to manufacture nuclear plant equipment, along with other relevant entities, according to the report. Akio Yamamoto, a professor at Nagoya University, received 10.1 million yen, also from a builder and operator of nuclear plants, Japan Atomic Power Co., along with other companies. Yutaka Abe, a professor at Tsukuba University, received 5 million yen from various entities including a laboratory of the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the same company behind the atrocious Fukushima disaster. Tomoyuki Sugiyama, a Japan Atomic Energy Agency researcher, received 3 million yen from Nuclear Fuel Industries, according to the report. Meanwhile, the spent fuel pool at reactor four remains precarious and technology is being developed which, in theory at least, could assist the disturbingly slow cleanup process. TEPCO, in what appears to be an attempt to maintain at least some shred of legitimacy, plans to set up a regional headquarters in Fukushima prefecture to better oversee local reconstruction, decontamination and compensation payments, Kyodo and other media said, according to AFP.

2	Trey Gowdy Shuts Liberal America Up With Brutal Announcement In the past few months, the Republican Party has reluctantly put their support behind Donald Trump. Now Sen. Tom Cotton and Rep. Trey Gowdy have announced that House and Senate committees will indeed be keeping close tabs on Trumps new governmentnot because they dont trust him, but because they want to help rebalance the power between the three branches of government. Critics of the Trump family are worried their many businesses will introduce many conflicts of interestand potential corruption of the government. But Trump has made it clear he intends to keep the two separate, and the Republican Party has agreed the businesses arent a deal-breaker. This week, Paul Ryan was asked about potential conflicts of interest, and offered the following response: This is not what Im concerned about in Congress. I have every bit of confidence hes going to get himself right with moving from being the business guy that he is to the president hes going to becomeWhat were seeing is what everybody was hoping to see, which is this is gonna be a business guy who becomes president whos just gonna focus on getting the job done and fixing this countrys big problems. Im excited. Aside from Ryan and Rep. Trey Gowdy, people have been relatively silent on the matter. Some believe Gowdy could be positioning himself for a future president, but given the way he handled the Clinton case, were okay with him taking on larger roles. 
1	A story narrated to a group of friends Friday night was almost immediately overshadowed by an anecdote from 28-year-old John Kiley, who informed everyone present that when he experienced almost exactly the same situation, the circumstances were far more interesting. 'It's funny you mention that, because I saw that band, too, but it was last year, when they were at the peak of their ability and still had their original bassist,' Kiley said. 'They did a double encore that night. Pretty rare for them.' Kiley later added that he had that one baseball card, too, but he got it in a pack he bought at the store, which allowed him to make a much larger profit when he later sold it. 
2	FOX News Destroys Dish With Epic Victory... This Is Changing Everything Fox News and DISH Network have been at odds for quite some time now, with Fox News refusing to bow down to the networks demands for fees. As a result, both Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network have been dropped from the satellite provider. Of course, this has done little to hinder Foxs popularitywith the latest viewership numbers ranking high among cable viewers. In fact, for the 13th year in a row, Fox News has been the most watched cable news networkfar surpassing CNN and MSNC. Fox News did not only better than most cable news channel, but for all cable channels overall. And since dropping Fox, DISH has received nearly 180,000 calls and 14,000 e-mails demanding that the station return. What do you think? Did DISH make a mistake dropping Fox? 
3	U.S.-Canada Integrated Cybersecurity AgendaDana Gabriel, Contributor One of the key priorities identified in the November 2011 Beyond the Border Action Plan is cybersecurity. The agreement lays the framework for enhancing U.S.-Canada, bilateral cyber-security cooperation to better protect vital government and critical digital infrastructure and increase both countries ability to respond jointly and effectively to cyber incidents. This will be achieved through joint projects and operational efforts, including joint briefings with the private sector and other stakeholders, and the enhancement of real-time information sharing between operation centres. The deal will also works towards strengthening, cooperation on international cyber-security and Internet governance issues to promote prosperity, enhance security and preserve openness in our networked world. Merging cyber threat strategies would force Canada to further bring its security practices in line with American ones and under the reach of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). On October 26, Public Safety Canada and the DHS released a Cybersecurity Action Plan which represents a key commitment under the Beyond the Border agreement. A press release explained that the specific goals include, enhancing collaboration on cyber incident management between each countrys cyber security operations centres, improving information sharing and engagement with the private sector, and continuing the ongoing collaboration between Canada and the U.S. on the promotion of cyber security awareness to the public. The new joint action plan promotes a shared approach to cybersecurity and digital critical infrastructure protection. Building on these initiatives, both countries also seek to further integrate cyber capabilities into military command structures. In June, DefenseNews reported that Secretary Panetta, approved a new organizational framework, a plan designed as a first step towards standardized cyber operations. This includes having a JCC at each geographic combatant command which is part of ongoing efforts to not only boost U.S., but continental cyber defense capabilities. In the near future, the U.S. and Canada could create a binational cyber-NORAD to protect North America from shared threats. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) released an updated Policy on Cyber Defence in June 2011. According to NATOs website, This revised policy offers a coordinated approach to cyber defence across the Alliance with a focus on preventing cyber attacks and building resilience. It will act as the framework, for how NATO will assist Allies, upon request, in their own cyber defence efforts, with the aim to optimise information sharing and situational awareness, collaboration and secure interoperability. The new policy also, sets the principles on NATOs cyber defence cooperation with partner countries, international organisations, the private sector and academia. In May of this year, the Chicago Summit Declaration, committed to provide the resources and complete the necessary reforms to bring all NATO bodies under centralised cyber protection. It also pledged to, further integrate cyber defence measures into Alliance structures and procedures. U.S.-Canadian military cooperation also extends through NATO and this includes in the realm of cybersecurity. There are reports that President Barack Obama may be close to issuing a cybersecurity executive order as a means of bypassing Congress. Under the guise of cybersecurity, the U.S. and Canada have been individually pushing draconian legislation domestically which would grant government agencies sweeping new powers. The implications would be far reaching and pose a risk to privacy and civil liberties. Through the Beyond the Border initiative both countries are pursuing an integrated cybersecurity agenda. As they move forward and address common threats to North America, cyber and perimeter security will be further defined and dominated by U.S. interests.

3	Why Is There Suddenly Such A Huge Push For Mark Of The Beast Technology?By Michael Snyder This week, we learned that a new form of identification for the Internet is being proposed in the European Union. When I first came across this story,I was absolutely horrified The European Union is proposing a government ID for using the Internet which will eradicate both on-line privacy and free speech. Spearheaded by former communist official Andrus Ansip, the European Commission published a draft document outlining its proposed electronic ID that would not only allow the EU to track what you say on-line, but also what you buy. When it is initially introduced, this government-issued form of Internet identification may be purely voluntary, but once enough people have adopted it, then it will be quite easy for the European Union to make it mandatory for everyone else. The following is an excerpt from a page on the official EU websitethat describes this new program So what form would such identification take in the future? Photo IDs are so easily lost or stolen. In order to make identification more safe and more secure, many advocates are now suggesting that we find ways to make identification a permanent part of a person. One way that this could be done is by using microchips. If this sounds creepy, it is because it is very creepy. But all over the world this is already being done to pets, and just recently a local NBC News report promoted the idea that we will all microchip our children someday. I know that I will never allow anyone to microchip me or anyone in my family, but there are others out there who are enthusiastically embracing the concept of starting to merge humanity with technology. In fact, Tesla CEO Elon Musk insiststhat we are all going to have to become cyborgs someday Elon Musk, the billionaire boss of Tesla and SpaceX, has said that humans need to become cyborgs to avoid becoming house cats for vastly more intelligent robots. Musk said that as artificial intelligence advances, people will need to augment their brain power with digital technology to prevent them becoming irrelevant. He backed the idea of a neural lace a new electronic layer of the brain that would allow us to instantly access online information and greatly improve cognitive powers by tapping into artificial intelligence. Could you imagine downloading an entire set of encyclopedias into your brain in just seconds? Someday, technology may make this entirely possible. And in the not too distant future, we may actually have mind reading machines that can understand what you are thinking. The following comes from a recent article in the Daily Mail A mind-reaching machine that can translate thoughts into speech is coming closer to reality. The research has been ongoing for several years, and recently, scientists successfully managed to playback a word that someone is thinking by monitoring their brain activity. While there remains a long way to go, they say this could help victims of stroke and others with speech paralysis to communicate with their loved ones. We will soon be living in a world that looks nothing like the world that our grandparents grew up in. Technology is increasing at an exponential rate, and even now it is hard to grasp just how rapidly our planet is being transformed. As technology becomes even more important to our lives, there will be even more of a push to move all transactions online. That means phasing out the current system of physical cash and coins, and going to a system that will eventually be entirely cashless. In fact, in some areas of the worldthis is already happening to a very large degree In Sweden,95 percent of all retail transactions are already cashless, and ATM machines are being removed by the hundreds. In Denmark, government officials actually have a stated goal of eradicating cash by the year 2030. And in Norway, the biggest bank in the countryhas publicly called for the complete elimination of all cash. In Spain, all cash transactions of more than 2,500 euros have been banned, and in France and Italy all cash transactions of more than 1,000 euros have been banned. We dont have those kinds of caps on cash transactions in the United States just yet, but given enough time they would come eventually. Right now, there are more than 400 billion cashless transactions conducted around the globe annually, and that number may hit 500 billion for 2016. Of course in a fully cashless society the government would be able to serve as the gatekeeper for who is permitted to use the cashless system and who is not. It would be all too easy for a tyrannical government to mandate that everyone receive a government identification chip before being allowed to buy or sell or do anything else online. We are living at a time when the Book of Revelation is coming to life right in front of our eyes, and that is one of the reasons why I wrotemy new book entitled The Rapture Verdict. As our world starts going crazy, Bible prophecy is going to be the number one thing that people are interested in as far as the Christian faith is concerned, and so it is imperative that we have solid answers ready. The stage is being set for the Mark of the Beast, and the time is coming when we are all going to be faced with some very tough choices. When you and your family dont have any food and you cant buy or sell without proper government-sponsored identification, will you give in and do whatever they tell you to do? You may not have to make that decision right now, but if you are able to stay alive long enough someday you will. 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. You said,,, And they assure us that new methods of identification will not be intrusive and will simply allow them to crack down on criminals such as identity thieves, tax evaders and terrorists. Good article, but its still spitting into the wind. The power grid is to good a target for Isis, Russia, China or any sixteen year old to leave alone. When it goes down, we are back to 1885. Wow, no more picking up a few groceries at the local store. Crack down on identity thieves, tax evaders and terrorists??? They are escorting them in by the thousands We should be getting behind people like ER physician and AZ state senator Dr. Kelli Ward who is openly discussing chemtrails with her concerned constituents, has done interviews on 9/11 Truth programs, and opposes Agendas 21 and 2030. Ward is being attacked by John McCain as a nutty conspiracy theorist. Time for that old buzzard McCain to retire and get out of the way.hes a ghoul, corrupt and brainwashed. The Mark is an entire system of thought, beliefs and actions not one individual item. Until society wakes up to that they are lost. Well said. I wish more knew what you just disseminated. Be blessed. To whom shall I speak and give warning. That they may hear? Behold, their ears are closed, and they cannot listen. Behold, the word of YHWH has become a reproach to them; they have no delight in it.

1	University of Iowa neuroscientists studying spatial learning and the effects of stress on memory announced Tuesday that a little son-of-a-bitch mouse ruined an experiment on cognitive performance by effortlessly navigating a maze that researchers spent nearly a year designing and constructing. The test subject, a common house mouse, briskly traversed the complicated wooden maze in under 30 seconds or, according to the study's final report, roughly 1/8,789,258 as long as it took the lab to secure funding for the experiment. According to researchers administrating the standard Y-maze test, the fucking bastard never even broke his stride during the first trial, always selecting the correct route while consistently avoiding blind dead-end alleys. Above, researchers discuss plans for a new maze, since the prick of a mouse, right, destroyed their chances of making any new discoveries whatsoever about the nature of synaptical response. 'We were unable to observe any statistically significant behavioral changes in the subject, largely due to the fact that he was in such a goddamn hurry to finish the maze,' said Dr. Richard Barret, who was forced to estimate the mouse's various reaction times after one of his assistants smashed the lab's stopwatch in anger. 'Further analysis will be required to garner any useful knowledge regarding this particular mouse's neurological processes, his reflex response to stimuli, and how in the hell that stupid jerk reached the goal without screwing up once.' Despite attempts to condition the mouse by screaming directly into its face, the researchers reported that the subject smugly completed the second and third runs of the three- dimensional spatial task with ease. A videotape of the mouse pausing during the final run has been subjected to a thorough review by the lab in order to determine if one of the maze's obstacles managed to momentarily confuse the mouse or if the test subject was, in fact, gloating. 'Had we obtained any usable data, perhaps that information would have led to the development of a cure for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's,' said Dr. William Eng, who led the team responsible for creating the maze. 'What is unclear at this time is why this particular mouse had to be such a dick and render useless all the work we had put into this controlled behavioral experiment.' In order to create the maze, Eng hand-drew 15 drafts of the 5-foot by-6-foot wooden puzzle and utilized 3-D-modeling software before painstakingly gluing each 7-inch-tall piece of wood together. Even though Eng said the maze's interconnecting pathways were designed to provide a challenging series of obstructions to disorient the mouse, after completing the course, the subject reportedly ran back through to the starting line twice as fast. 'It is regrettable to spend such a tremendous amount of money studying mammalian neuropathways, only to have some hotshot mouse ruin everything,' Eng said. 'However, we have compiled substantial data on this species's ability to breeze right in and destroy an entire postdoctoral legacy.' Repeated trials yielded similar results, with the mouse performing equally well despite added variables of Dr. Eng trying to 'scoot' it back with a pen and Dr. Barret tipping the entire maze upward 45 degrees. Additional attempts to deceive the mouse by placing a reward of cheese in an impassable section of the maze were also unsuccessful. 'Taking into account my past successful experiments with chimpanzees, it is my final analysis that we are dealing with one smart little fucker,' said team member Dr. Russell Sutton, who has already applied for an additional grant to study cognitive learning in the same mouse. 'I wonder if he'll be so smart without a functioning hippocampus.' 
2	Liberal School Infringes On Air Force Veterans Expression Of Christianity Air Force veteran John Fletcher was enjoying the holidays just as he had for years before by dressing up as Santa Claus for the children. When he sent out fliers about the event, the school contacted him and forced him to take out the word Christmas in the advertisements. He was forced to use the words holiday tree lighting instead. Its a Christmas tree, not a holiday tree. Political correctness at its worst. We are as offended by this as Fletcher is. We need to stay true to our values. Will you continue to express your religion despite what liberals try to force on you? 
1	New York City police commissioner Howard Safir issued a formal apology Monday for the accidental shooting-clubbing- stabbing-firebombing- choking-impaling- electrocution-lethal-injection death of a 38-year-old Jamaican immigrant in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn. New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani, flanked by police commissioner Howard Safir, fields reporters' questions about the accidental killing of a Jamaican immigrant by 27 NYPD officers. Robert Livingston, who had emigrated from Kingston last July, was surrounded and killed by 27 police officers on April 20 while standing on the stairs in front of an apartment building reaching for what the officers thought was a gun. The object turned out to be a doorbell. 'We deeply regret that this terrible tragedy has happened,' said Safir, reading an official NYPD statement at City Hall. 'But I must stress that it was understandable given the circumstances. There was no way those officers could have known for certain that Mr. Livingston was not heavily armed and about to kill them.' According to NYPD sources, at approximately 11:30 a.m. on the day in question, a detachment of 12 officers observed Livingston, a delivery driver for a Chinese restaurant, standing at the entrance to an apartment building 'acting in a suspicious and aggressive manner.' After ignoring the officers' repeated commands to put down the threatening item in his hand, a bag containing a double order of General Chao's Chicken and a pint of rice, Livingston reached for the doorbell. The officers responded by opening fire on his strategic top-of-the-stairs position from point-blank range, discharging their standard-issue 9mm handguns 245 times and striking him with approximately 175 teflon-coated hollow-point slugs. Defiantly ignoring the officers' orders to freeze, Livingston dropped to the floor and convulsed wildly, kicking and thrashing and hurling blood in all directions. 'It was an extremely dangerous, volatile situation,' Brooklyn 26th Precinct Sgt. Raymond Sullivan said. 'We were dealing with a man who was out of control and willing to do anything to stop us. It was clear that subduing him would necessitate extreme measures.' Livingston After calling for backup, the officers threw 25 phosphorus grenades at the suspect and opened fire with 12-gauge riot shotguns, their vision aided by the illumination of Livingston's body, which was burning at roughly 1,500 degrees. Though most of Livingston's clothes had melted off, officers concentrated their fire on his remaining shoe, which they feared held a concealed weapon. Once 15 extra officers and an NYPD armory van had arrived on the scene, Det. James McPhee took 10 men to the top of the stairs to engage Livingston in hand-to-hand-combat. 'Mr. Livingston attempted to resist, raising his remaining forearm and striking at the officers' weapons with his face, teeth, knees and genitals,' McPhee told reporters. 'Acting in accordance with standard police procedure, we countered by stabbing the suspect 59 times in the chest and throat.' Patrolman Edward Caggiano, who sustained a mild bruise when hit by a piece of Livingston's jaw in the melee, then grabbed the suspect's head and began standard-procedure neck-snapping. According to the officers involved, Livingston's head then attempted to flee the scene by separating from his torso and proceeding down the front steps. 'I shouted several times for the fleeing head to halt,' Caggiano said. 'But the more I yelled, the faster it seemed to roll. After every other option and tactic was exhausted, we were finally left with no choice but to subdue the head with rocket launchers.' Forensics experts said they hope to recover the several thousand missing fragments of the head by next week. Shortly after 1 p.m., Livingston was finally brought under control when a second team of officers impaled his headless body on a sharpened oak pole. Once the body was skewered, members of the NYPD medical team were given clearance to move in and administer a lethal injection. Speaking at a press conference Monday, New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani called for the immediate paid suspension of all 27 officers involved in the incident. He also urged Safir to keep the officers suspended 'until they can be cleared of all wrongdoing following an extensive internal NYPD investigation that will conclude sometime Friday afternoon.' 'And to the families of those officers involved,' Giuliani said, 'I would like to extend my deepest, most heartfelt apologies. Your loved ones went through a terrible trauma, and I want to assure you that the New York Police Department is doing everything in its power to help them put it behind them.' 
1	Speaking to reporters for the first time since Dakota Springs High School sophomore Brian Sutterman fatally shot eight fellow students and took his own life on Tuesday, Suttermans classmates admitted this morning that he sure did show them. He showed all of them, the 17-year-olds peers confirmed. When Brian walked into the school and indiscriminately opened fire on everyone in his path, he really showed us how were all nothing but a bunch of arrogant frauds, said sophomore Derek Polan, noting that a murderous rampage was the best way for Sutterman to get people to listen to him. He also made us realize what a sick joke the whole world is, which is something he understood but the rest of us were just too blind to see. I get it now, though, he added. Thanks to Brian, it all makes so much sense. Though they were reportedly sad to lose their friends in the shooting, many students also expressed a newfound respect for Sutterman, stating that in the end he had effectively demonstrated to them that they are all mindless scum and that their lives are completely disposable. Clara Milliner, 17, confirmed that as Sutterman methodically moved through her schools hallways and discharged a semiautomatic assault rifle equipped with a 100-round magazine, she and her friends suddenly recognized that they all live like blind sheep, obsessed with [their] dumb little cliques. We know now that we are inferior, and that Brian was punishing us for our inferiority, said Milliner, who added that she now held Sutterman in high regard for his profound insights. Most of us are slaves who do whatever others command us to do. But not Brian. Thats because he woke up. And more than that, he woke us up. Ultimately, what he did was necessary. By killing defenseless people, he made us see that we have all been lying to ourselves, she continued. He really opened our eyes to how weak-minded and pathetic we are. Sutterman, who killed five boys and three girls and left a dozen other individuals hospitalized with serious injuries, was described by those who knew him as quiet, but also as the most prescient student at Dakota Springs High. He was reportedly the only one who grasped that his classmates were all just pawns in a game. I lost my best friend in Tuesdays shooting, but even I have to admit that justice has been done here, said 18-year-old Tanner Myles, explaining that Sutterman was the only person in the entire schoolperhaps the entire worldwho could see things for what they really are. Brian was better than all of us, and we failed to acknowledge that in any way. It only makes sense that we should pay with our blood. Agreeing with Sutterman that all students and faculty at Dakota Springs High were hypocrites and liars who deserved to die, school officials said they did not intend to waste any time grieving the loss of life and certainly wouldnt be holding any candlelight vigils or any nonsense like that. Administrators confirmed classes would resume as scheduled tomorrow. People had to be killed. I see now that it was the only way, said Duane Amberson, 48, whose daughter Melanie was shot point-blank in the head by Sutterman after the killer had exhausted the ammunition from his rifle and pulled a Beretta M9 from his belt. Brian was right: Natural selection must run its course. The weak must be punished and destroyed. We get all that now. And I know I speak for all the parents here when I say if anyone thinks that Brian was just some kid with a severe mental illness, or that his deadly shooting spree failed to prove an important point to the whole wide world, they can shut up and die, he added. 
2	Ted Nugent Goes Off, And DESTROYS Obama In The Most Epic Way Possible After President Obama jumped on the Umpqua Community College shooting as an opportunity to push his gun control agenda, Ted Nugent is speaking out against him, calling him a pathological liar America hating goon. Nugent then went on to cite a list of instances where Obama has either broken the law or betrayed America. Heartbreakingly the president of the United States is a pathological liar, Nugent claimed. Oh, and BTW, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. And NO, we will not provide security for our fellow Americans in ultra-dangerous terrorist regions like BenghaziAnd yes, Brian Terry WAS murdered with a gun that the U.S. AG Obama smuggled to Mexican drug gangs. And yes, his IRS b**** did criminally abuse power lie. And yes, he calls gay NBA guys heroes but doesnt call real heroes that sacrificed for freedom. This guy is a bad bad man a psychotic liar, Nugent concluded. What do you think? Do you agree with Nugent? Do you support him for speaking his mind? 
1	Opening up to reporters at a press conference Sunday, Connecticut all-American guard Kemba Walker explained at great length that should the Huskies have the fortune of winning Monday's national championship game, he would like to be the player who launches the basketball into the air as the final seconds run out. 'Hours of practice, all the games, everything we've achieved this year, it all leads up to that moment; as those final seconds tick down, I want the ball in my hands so I can throw it really, really high,' Walker said. 'There are a lot of options in a moment like thatone hand, two hands, straight up, out into the crowdbut in the end, only one thing matters: really chucking it way up there with all you've got.' After speaking to the media, Walker made his way to Connecticut's final practice, where he spent the majority of his time trying to get a ball to hit the rafters. 
2	They Told Tennessee Students To Take Down Their Christmas Decor, Their Response... Amazing According to the University of Tennessees Office of Diversity and Inclusion, going to college means being stripped of your values and you culture. ABC News reported that new guidelines from UTODI advise people to keep their holiday parties secular, with no decorations, Santa or Jesus to ensure your holiday party is not a Christmas part in disguise. The disturbing guidelines also include non-denominational holiday cards, secular games and non-religious drinks. Fortunately, the boys at Beta Upsilon Chi werent buying this kind of censorship. They created a 6-foot-tall banner with a Christmas tree topped by a star and draped it over the side of their fraternity house. The banner also read: Come and Take It. The University has denied the actions of the UTODI, and the guidelines have since been removed from the website. The people I represent are disgusted by this, Tennessee Republican Rep. John Duncan told Fox News. People from all over the country are sick and tired of all this political correctness. Tennessee Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey also weighed in, claiming students dont attend college to have their values and traditions sidelined and undermined. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous? 
3	Whom to Believe on Gold: Central Banks or Bloomberg?Jeff Clark Russia isnt alone, of course. Central banks as a group have been net buyers for at least two years now. But the 2012 data trickling out shows that the amount of tonnage being added is breaking records. The following table lists the countries that have added to their gold reserves this year, while the second one tallies those that have been selling. Youll see how recently each country has reported, along with its percentage increase. This is a dramatic increase, one bigger than most investors probably realize. To put it in perspective, on a net basis, central banks added more to their reserves last year than since 1964. The net increase so far is 17% greater than what was added in 2011, which was itself a year of record buying. Heres a picture of total central bank reserves since the financial crisis hit. Whatever golds price movements, positive or negative, central bank officials have continued adding a lot of ounces to their reserves. But this understates the case, because most of the data exclude China, as well as a few other small countries. China last officially reported gold reserves in 2009, so the totals in the chart since then exclude whatever its purchases might have been. Heres where it gets interesting: Bloomberg claimed that Russia has been a bigger buyer of gold over the past decade than China by a full 25%. Based on data about gold imports through Hong Kong and the fact that, for the most part, Chinese production doesnt leave the country, it seemed to me that this could not be right. The Chinese central bank holds an official 1,054 tonnes of gold in its reserves. Bloomberg states, based on IMF data, that China has added somewhere around 425 tonnes over the past decade. So Bloomberg is essentially saying that roughly 10% of the total gold available inside the country during that period was added to Chinas reserves. While its true that Chinese citizens are buying a lot of gold (though perhaps more silver), its highly doubtful that private parties bought 90% of all the gold brought to the Chinese market during this period. I think but cant prove that Chinas central bank is buying more gold and at a faster pace than its Russian counterpart. Jim Rickards, a highly respected author and hedge fund manager, said last month that China has probably already accumulated between 2,000 and 3,000 tonnes of additional gold reserves. If hes right, that would be roughly double or triple the 1,054 tonnes it reported in 2009 not the 40% increase Bloombergs numbers suggest. At the very least, we can say that the Bloomberg report left consideration of Chinas imports and production out of its report naming Russia the top gold buyer of 2012. Okaybut so what? Well, Jim thinks the next big catalyst for gold will be an announcement from China about its reserve position. Heres what he told me in late December: The catalyst for a spike into the $2,500 to $3,000 price range for gold will be an announcement by China, probably in late 2013 or 2014, that they have acquired 4,000 tonnes or more in their official reserve position. This will put China on an equal footing with the US in terms of a gold-to-GDP ratio, and validate gold as the real foundation of the international monetary system. Once that position is validated, gold will move to the $7,000 range in 2015 and beyond. Even if Jims estimate is high or China doesnt make an announcement until later, its clear that central banks around the world are buying gold in record quantities. It almost makes you wonder do they know something we dont? The Russians gave us some hints. President Vladimir Putin told his central bank not to shy away from the metal, adding After all, theyre called gold and currency reserves for a reason. The Chinese have been quiet on this topic recently, after being very vocal a few years ago. Heres a recent quote. Others have provided clues as well. Yes, were talking about the US dollar. Perhaps some investors have gotten complacent about the risks to the worlds reserve currency but not central bankers. Its not hard to see why: whether they admit it or not, central bankers must know what it means to run the printing presses the way the US has since 2008, even if price inflation is not immediately obvious. Its no surprise they want to hedge their bets, moving more reserves into something with actual value something that cant be debased by a few computer keystrokes by an increasingly unfriendly government. The US dollar has been the worlds reserve currency since WWII. Thats beginning to change, and the movement into gold is just one facet of that change. The buying by central banks is exactly what one would expect to see as we approach the end of the dollar hegemony. The message from central banks is clear: they expect the dollar to move inexorably lower. It doesnt matter that its been holding up against other currencies or that the economy might be getting better. Theyre buying gold in record amounts because they see a significant shift coming with the status of the dollar, and they need to protect themselves against that risk. This leads to a second message: gold is not overpriced, in spite of the 500%+ increase since 2001. Indeed, with the recent correction, central banks are likely buying more, even as you read this. Clearly we should take notice. If central banks are preparing for a major change in the value of the dollar, shouldnt we? The fact remains that the US dollar cannot and will not survive the ongoing abuse heaped upon it by government planners and federal officials. That not only means the gold price will rise, but that many, if not most currencies, will lose a significant amount of purchasing power. This has direct implications for all of us. Embrace the messages central bankers are telling us the ones they tell with their actions, not their words. Buy gold. Your financial future may very well depend upon it. While buying gold will protect your purchasing power, your best bet at growing it substantially is to stake claims in little-known companies that mine precious metals.

2	Trump Just Received Some Devastating News When Donald Trump announced his intention to run for president, he received immediate backlash from liberals and Republicans alike. At the time, many brushed the legendary businessman off, refusing to take him seriously. That quickly changed when polls revealed that Trump was the frontrunner for the GOP nomination. Ever since, the GOP has been desperately trying to take Trump down. Still, numbers reveal that Trump is still the leader in the race, except with one core audience: women. The number of women supporting Trump varies from state to state, but numbers reveal that many states have half or 70% viewing him unfavorably. What do you think? Can Trump turn this around? Does he still have a shot at winning the election?

3	ObamaFail: Affordable Insurance Rates Set To Skyrocket 50% AgainBy Mac Slavo Withinweeks of the program finally launching Americans saw an immediate jump in their monthly health insurance premiums up to a quadrupling for some families. As it turns out, insurance providers arent done yet. Apparently, quadrupling your rates just wasnt enough to cover the health care costs for the millions of people who are paying absolutely nothing into the system butcontinue to receive the benefit of expensive prescription drugs and costly increases in medical procedures. As a result, by the end of this year you will see your monthly premiumsskyrocket, in some cases as high as 50%: All of them cite high medical costs incurred by people newly enrolled under the Affordable Care Act. Supporters of free socialized health care were bewildered back in 2013 when their new insurance premiums took hold and they realized that it was they who would have to cover the bill. Ms. Kehaly and millions of others like her were ardent believers in helping those less fortunate by taking money by threat of force or imprisonment from lifes lottery winners. What they didnt understand at the time, and are likely refusing to admit today, is that under thecommunistphilosophy that pervades much of our legislative infrastructure anyone who actually has a job and money left over after essential household expenses are paid is a lottery winner, and thus, will be taxed by the State for the greater collective. Socialismis great until you realize its your money that is being seizedto fund it. You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com, where this article first appeared.

1	Establishing Colorado as a pioneer in recognizing the therapeutic benefits of explosions, a new law passed Tuesday will allow state residents with a doctors prescription to acquire small quantities of medicinal fireworks. Studies have shown that many patients suffering from chronic pain, glaucoma, or debilitating terminal conditions have responded positively to fireworks, with most showing visible improvements in mood and well-being through repeated use; so my question is, why shouldnt they be able to obtain small amounts of pyrotechnics safely and legally? said Sen. Andy Kerr, who authored the legislation that provides Coloradans in need with up to 20 ounces of bottle rockets, flying spinners, aerial shells, or loose flash powder each month. For many people going through intensive chemotherapy or suffering from frequent seizures, lighting up a Roman candle in the privacy of their own property or packing a mailbox full of M-80s and seeing it get blown sky-high has a strong beneficial effect on their overall wellness. Who are we to deny the most ailing among us the comfort that loud, colorful explosions can offer? Kerr added that the tax revenue from the states network of regulated fireworks dispensaries would more than cover the cost of education and treatment for those who abuse fireworks recreationally. 
1	President Bush collapsed to the floor of the Oval Office during a meeting with advisers when spiderlings hatched from thousands of egg sacs affixed between the hemispheres of his brain, according to a White House memo released Monday. The spiders severed the president's corpus callosum and ate through the motor-control center of the brain, doctors said, causing Bush's body to jerk involuntarily as a scurrying mass of crab spiders emerged from his mouth and crawled down his face. Witnesses confirmed that a number of spiders also discharged from the president's tear ducts. Secret Service agents restrained the president and carried him to the White House medical facility, but doctors said that by the time Bush arrived, the arachnids had already consumed his corneas, pupils, and vitreous humor. Bush is resting comfortably at Bethesda Naval Hospital.

3	Declassified CIA Manual Shows How US Uses Bureaucracy to Destabilize GovernmentsBy Jake Anderson The World War II-era document, called Simple Sabotage Field Manual, outlines ways in which operatives can disrupt and demoralize enemy administrators and police forces. The first section of the document, which can be read in its entirety here, addresses Organizations and Conferences and how to turn them into adysfunctional mess: On its official webpage, the CIA boasts about finding innovative ways to bring about sabotage, calling their tactics for destabilization surprisingly relevant. While they admit that some of the ideas may seem a bit outdated, they claim that Together they are a reminder of how easily productivity and order can be undermined. Finally, the guide presents protocol for how saboteur-employees can disrupt enemy operations, too: The CIA is proud of its Kafkaesque field manual and evidently still views it as an unorthodox but effective form of destabilizing enemy operations around the world. Of course, so too might an anarchist or revolutionary look at such tactics and view them in the context of disrupting certain domestic power structures, many of which are already built like a bureaucratic house of cards. It seems if any country should refrain from showcasing how easy it is to disrupt inefficient federal agencies, however, it would be the United States.

The Blazes Tomi Lahren publicly criticized the pop stars imagery of the Black Panther Party in her performance. Since releasing the video with her comments, Lahren says she has been receiving numerous threats from angry protesters. According to Lahren, people have been calling her a redneck ass bitch and racist cracker. In a recent interview with TMZ, Lahren told reporters that Black Lives Matter folks and militant Bey Hivers completely missed her message, which was that America should be coming together. Dont you dare come at me with your hate and your call to violence and your threats on my life and tell me racism is a one-way street, she concluded. 
3	10 New Years Resolutions That Every Prepper Should Make in 2014Daisy Luther Make this the year that you improve your life right now and your chances of survival later. Pick one or all of these resolutions and persevere! 1.) Get in shape. Some of us may already be in the best shape of our lives, spending our free time running marathons on the weekends that we dont dog sled race or mountain climb. For the rest of us, though, there could be room for improvement. Think about the tasks that are pertinent to a survival situation and train for them as though they are your sport and you want to make the Olympic Prepping Team. Walk, run, lift weights just move your body and improve your physical fitness. Whatever your starting point, set small short-term goals to make monthly improvements. (If you are new to fitness WALKING is a great way to start and you can learn more about general fitness for preppers HERE.) 2.) Lose weight if you need to. Not everyone has extra pounds to lose, but for those who do, theres no time like the present to start. If the SHTF, you arent going to live off your fat. Trust me on this one. If anything, a great deal of excess body fat just might be the thing that kills you. If you are more than a few pounds overweight, you are dramatically reducing your chances for survival, as well as your ability to care for other family members in a crisis situation. (Learn more about weight loss geared towards preppers HERE.) 3.) Give up a bad habit. Do you smoke? Drink too much alcohol? Eat too much junk food? Now is the time to give up some bad habits. Can you imagine how much worse it would be to deal with a disaster while also going through nicotine withdrawal? And speaking of withdrawal, take a look at your medicine cabinet. I realize that not everyone is able to stop taking prescription medications, and Im certainly not recommending that you make a decision like this without input from your doctor. However, in some cases it is entirely possible to get off of chemical medications. Do you have a chronic ailment that can be helped with herbs or a better diet? Things like antidepressants, heartburn medication, and many others can be reduced under the care of a physician, which will allow you to fare far better if those medications are suddenly no longer available. Learn about natural treatment alternatives as well as how to improve your nutrition to combat specific health problems, and stock up accordingly. 5.) Practice your marksmanship skills. Most skills require frequent practice if you want to stay sharp. Make a weekly commitment to practicing marksmanship or self defense. Whether you shoot a gun or a bow, throw knives, or use a slingshot, practice makes perfect. You want to be accurate when it counts. 6.) Learn a skill that is completely different from your other skills. This is a great way to become more well-rounded. If, for example, your skills are hunting or protecting the homestead, learn how to garden or how to preserve what youve hunted. Alternatively, if your skills are along the lines of needlework and cooking, learn to fire a gun with accuracy or how to chop firewood. Even if you have a partner that generally does these things, you never know when someone might be ill or injured and unable to perform their usual duties. (Learn more about cross-training for preppers HERE.) 7.) Recommit yourself to building your stockpile. We all go through phases where we are less motivated about building our stockpile. This is a great time to recommit. Start out by doing an inventory, because if you dont know what you have, you dont know what you need. Then take a look at your budget and plan how much you are going to spend of your monthly grocery bill on items for your pantry. Review the Pantry Primer series for inspiration. 8.) Change the way you deal with finances If you still use the banks and financial system, now is the time to consider either unbanking or underbanking. Much was written over the previous year about hapless savers having their money taxed (actually, it was stolen) by unscrupulous governments, and really, if were being honest, our own government rates pretty high on the dishonesty scale and plans are in the works for them to help themselves to your money. Before your money can be confiscated, look to other means of saving it. Also, consider making investments in tangible goods and precious metalsinstead of depositing your money in a financial institution and hoping for the best. 9.) Plan your perfect retreat Whether you plan to buy a cabin in the woods, a little farm tucked away, or if you intend to bloom where youre planted, spend some time making plans. Either make a list of your needs and relocation requirements and a plan for acquiring your new home, or decide what needs improving where you are right now. Devote yourself to making THIS the year that you and your family create the perfect prepper homestead for your family. 10.) Disengage from the system in every way possible Make it your goal to disengage from the system in at least one way, large or small. Maybe you will homeschool your children, become self-employed, build an off-grid power supply, or begin growing your own food instead of buying it from the grocery store. Whatever you choose, by becoming self-sufficient in that area, you are freeing yourself from government control because you just dont need whatever they happen to be selling. (See 50 Ways to Starve the Beast for inspiration.) Happy New Year! Please share your preparedness resolutions in the comments section below. Thank you for your support over the past year. I look forward to watching our community grow in strength and numbers in 2014. Best wishes for peace and prosperity in the new year! ~ Daisy Luther Daisy Luther is a freelance writer and editor.

2	School Attacks 20 Students Who Wore Confederate Flag Displaying Clothing And Then THIS Happens According to recent reports, around 20 students were suspended last week at a Virginia high school, after they showed up wearing clothing displaying the Confederate flag. The district now claims that the clothing violated the dress code. Reports indicate that the students arrived at Christianburg High School in the outfits and refused to comply with the dress code. As a result, they were given one-day in-school suspensions. According to Montogomery County Public Schools spokeswoman Brenda Drake, the majority of the students in question did not follow in-school suspension rules, and were given out of-school suspensions. Drake claims that the high schools dress code prohibits any articles of clothing that reflect adversely on people because of race, gender, or other similar factors. Of course, the confederate flag has been a source of hot debate since the massacre in Charleston, South Carolina. While liberals claim that the flag is racist, Southern Conservatives have defended the symbol as one of Southern history and pride. What do you think? Do you support the students exercising their freedom of speech? Was the school out of line? 
3	Zika Mosquitoes Same as GM Mosquitoes Released Off the Coast of FloridaBy Brandon Turbeville Currently there is no treatment or vaccine for Zika and officials believe the transmission is confined to a single zip code, an area north of downtown Miami. Despite the fact there have been 386 cases of Zika in Florida, the mainstream media and many health officials are treating this new transmission as a cause for potential panic. Its also possible that someone could have Zika without actually knowing. About 80% of the people who have the virus show no symptoms at all. For the other 20%, those symptoms can include joint pain, red eyes, rash and fever which can last from a few days to a week. While Zika is certainly concerning, it is also not the type of disease one should go full Contagion on. If officials are truly concerned about the spread of Zika, they will attack the virus at its greatest weakness high living standards. Twenty-first century levels of sanitation and mosquito control efforts (notably not the genetic engineering and release of mosquitoes) as well as the greater funding and establishment of more advanced healthcare systems would do more to stop Zika than door-to-door urine collecting. Still, there may be more to the story than mere virus transmission. Seemingly coming out of nowhere, Zika went from its first discovered case in 1947 and sporadic appearances up until last year, the virus is now in outbreak stage with WHO officials concerned that it may become a pandemic. World health researchers seem perplexed as to the genesis of the virus or at least, the sudden appearance and rapid spread of it in 2015. Claire Bernish of The Anti-Media points out one possibility: When examining a rapidly expanding potential pandemic, its necessary to leave no stone unturned so possible solutions, as well as future prevention, will be as effective as possible. In that vein, there was another significant development in 2015. Though that might sound like an astounding success and, arguably, it was there is an alarming possibility to consider. Nature, as one Redditor keenly pointed out, finds a way and the effort to control dengue, zika, and other viruses, appears to have backfired dramatically. The mosquitoes that were released by Oxitec OX513A, were genetically engineered to need the presence of tetracycline in order to survive to maturity. Outside of the presence of tetracycline, they die. The idea behind the GM mosquitoes, was that they would be released into the wild and would mate with the natural female mosquitoes (only males were modified). The offspring that result are also supposed to die without the presence of tetracycline in their system. The GM mosquito program was introduced under the guise of controlling disease-carrying mosquito populations to reduce the amount of diseases in humans that were spread by mosquitoes. There is a massive problem with this program, however, most notably, the fact that the presence of tetracycline in the environment is not as rare as one might suspect. Particularly in a place like Brazil. As Claire Bernish writes: According to an unclassified document from the Trade and Agriculture Directorate Committee for Agriculture dated February 2015, Brazil is the third largest in global antimicrobial consumption in food animal production meaning, Brazil is third in the world for its use of tetracycline in its food animals. As a study by the American Society of Agronomy, et. al., explained,It is estimated that approximately 75% of antibiotics are not absorbed by animals and are excreted in waste.One of the antibiotics (or antimicrobials) specifically named in that report for its environmental persistence is tetracycline. Back in September 2010, Dr. Ricarda A. Steinbrecher wrote a report in which he stated that there is a known survival rate of 3-4 percent of the GM mosquitoes. He suggested that further studies should be conducted before theyre released in the environment. Claire Bernish points out that the survival rate might actually be much higher than what Steinbrecher suggested. In fact, as a confidential internal Oxitec document divulged in 2012, that survival rate could be as high as 15% even with low levels of tetracycline present. Even small amounts of tetracycline can repressthe engineered lethality. Indeed, that 15% survival rate was described by Oxitec: After a lot of testing and comparing experimental design, it was found that [researchers] had used a cat food to feed the [OX513A] larvae and this cat food contained chicken. It is known that tetracycline is routinely used to prevent infections in chickens, especially in the cheap, mass produced, chicken used for animal food. The chicken is heat-treated before being used, but this does not remove all the tetracycline. This meant that a small amount of tetracycline was being added from the food to the larvae and repressing the [designed] lethal system. Even absent this tetracycline, as Steinbrecher explained, a sub-population of genetically-modified Aedes mosquitoes could theoretically develop and thrive, in theory, capable of surviving and flourishing despite any furtherreleases of pure GM mosquitoes which still have that gene intact. She added, the effectiveness of the system also depends on the [genetically-designed] late onset of the lethality. If the time of onset is altered due to environmental conditions then a 3-4% [survival rate] represents a much bigger problem Yet there are still more problems with the process of releasing GM mosquitoes into the environment. Another risk associated with the Oxitec experiment is the potential for the release of genetically engineered biting females into the environment. Since female mosquitoes are the mosquitoes which bite humans, Oxitec claims that its GE mosquito population is an all-boys club. However, due to the method by which the mosquitoes are sorted, the potential for release of female mosquitoes is very real. As Eric Hoffman writes, The sorting is conducted by hand and could result in up to 0.5 percent of the released insects being female. This would raise new human health concerns as people could be bit by GE mosquitoes. It could also hamper efforts to limit the spread of dengue fever. It should also be noted that eradicating the Aedes aegypti type of mosquito might well leave the area open to invasion by other species who may, in fact, be much more dangerous to human health. For instance, the Asian Tiger mosquito, considered one of the most invasive species in the world, is known to be a carrier of both Dengue fever and the West Nile Virus. What would be the result of an Asian Tiger invasion into South Florida? An eradication of Aedes aegypti might well provide us with an answer. While many might be concerned about the spread of the Zika virus, from places like Africa and Brazil to the Western world and beyond, or that the virus will become an epidemic in the places it currently resides, many Americans might be surprised to learn that the Oxitec GM mosquitoes are slated to be released inside the United States. In December 2011, I wrote an article entitled Releasing Genetically Engineered Mosquitoes Poses Unknown Risks to Florida where I documented the Oxitec plans to release 5-10,000 GM mosquitoes near the Florida Keys. This program was presented to the public under the guise of an attempt to eradicate Dengue fever and is still awaiting approval from regulatory agencies despite widespread opposition from the public. So if it is true that there is a link between the GM mosquitoes and Zika virus, then Florida may soon be covered in ticking time bombs over its swamps, waiting to provide us with yet another public health emergency. Yet the program itself is actually older than that. In 2009, also under the guise of preventing the spread of Dengue fever, GM mosquitoes were released by Oxitec in the Cayman Islands. In fact, it is this release that has many questioning whether or not the GM mosquitoes actually have a link to increased rates of Dengue fever. After all, shortly after the release of the GM mosquitoes in the Caymans, cases of Dengue fever in Florida doubled. Is it merely a coincidence that cases of Dengue increased shortly after millions of mosquitoes capable of carrying the fever were released miles away in the Cayman Islands? While Dengue fever had been eradicated in terms of naturally occurring outbreaks in the United States, cases that were research-related and laboratory-generated have occurred in the country for many years. This is because Dengue fever has been of particular interest to the United States government, US Army, and CIA since at least the middle part of the 20th century. There is a great deal of evidence suggesting that the biochemical research facilities at Fort Detrick were conducting tests on Dengue fever as a bio-weapon as far back as 1942. It is generally known that in the 1950s the CIA partnered with Ft. Detrick to study Dengue fever and other exotic diseases for use as biological weapons. It is also interesting to note that, according to CIA documents as well as a 1975 congressional committee, the three locations of Key West, Panama City, and Avon Park (and two other locations in central Florida) were testing sites for Dengue fever research. As is generally the case, the experiments in Avon Park were concentrated in low-income neighborhoods, in areas that were predominantly black with newly constructed housing projects. According to H.P. Albarelli Jr. and Zoe Martell of Truthout, CIA documents related to the MK/NAOMI program revealed that the agency was using the Aedes aegypti type of mosquito in these experiments as well. In one of these experiments, 600,000 mosquitoes were released over Avon Park and in another 150,000 insects were released in specially designed paper bags that were designed to open up when they hit the ground. Truthout interviewed residents (or test subjects) of Avon Park still living in the area who related that there were at least 6 or 7 deaths resulting from the experiments. As quoted by Truthout, one resident said, Nobody knew about what had gone on here for years, maybe over 20 years, but in looking back it explained why a bunch of healthy people got sick quick and died at the time of those experiments. Truthout goes on to point out that around the same time of the Avon Park experiments there were at least two cases of Dengue fever reported among civilian researchers at Fort Detrick in Maryland. In 1978, a Pentagon document titled, Biological Warfare: Secret Testing Volunteers revealed that similar experiments were conducted in Key West by the Army Chemical Corps and Special Operations and Projects Divisions at Fort Detrick. Like the current situation, U.S. government agencies teamed with NGOs, academia, and other organizations to conduct mosquito-related projects. Operation Bellweather, a 1959 experiment consisting of over 50 field tests, was conducted over several states including Georgia, Maryland, Utah, and Arizona, and Florida. Operation Bellweather was coordinated with the Rockefeller Institute in New York; the facility that actually bred the mosquitoes. Whats more, the experiment was aided by the Armour Research Foundation, the Battelle Memorial Institute, Ben Venue Labs, Inc., the University of Florida, Florida State University, and the Lovell Chemical Company. The military and CIA connections to Dengue fever outbreaks do not end with these experiments, however. It is widely believed that the 1981 outbreak in Cuba was a result of CIA and U.S. military covert biological attacks. This outbreak occurred essentially out of nowhere and resulted in over one hundred thousand cases of infection. Albarelli and Martell write: American researcher William H. Schaap, an editor of Covert Actionmagazine, claims the Cuba Dengue outbreak was the result of CIA activities. Former Fort Detrick researchers, all of whom refused to have their names used for this article, say they performed advance work on the Cuba outbreak and that it was man made. In 1982 the CIA was accused by the Soviet media of sending operatives into Pakistan and Afghanistan for the purposes of creating a Dengue epidemic. Likewise, in 1985 and 1986, authorities in Nicaragua made similar claims against the CIA, also suggesting that they were attempting to start a Dengue outbreak. While the CIA has characteristically denied involvement in all of these instances, army researchers have admitted to having worked intensely with arthropod vectors for offensive biological warfare objectives and that such work was conducted at Fort Detrick in the 1980s. Not only that, but researchers have also admitted that large mosquito colonies, which were infected with both yellow fever and Dengue fever, were being maintained at the Frederick, Maryland facility. There is also evidence of experimentation with federal prisoners without their knowledge. As Truthout reports: Several redacted Camp Detrick and Edgewood Arsenal reports indicate that experiments were conducted on state and federal prisoners who were unwittingly exposed to Dengue fever, as well as other viruses, some possibly lethal. With all of the evidence that CIA and military tests have been conducted regarding Dengue fever, there is ample reason to be concerned when one sees a connection like the recent release of mosquitoes and the subsequent outbreak of Dengue fever in Florida, a traditional testing site for these organizations. The response to the Dengue outbreak should also be questioned as aerial spraying campaigns were intensified. While these sprayings were claimed to be for the eradication of the Dengue-carrying mosquitoes, the number of people who contracted the illness actually rose. While it was painfully obvious from the very beginning, that releasing genetically modified mosquitoes was a very bad idea, the possible connection to the mosquitoes and the increase of previously eradicated or extremely rare diseases should be a dramatic wake-up call to everyone.

While these sprayings were claimed to be for the eradication of the Dengue-carrying mosquitoes, the number of people who contracted the illness actually rose. I strongly suspect these satanic villains in our government have blighted my area with Dengue. I have all the symptoms minus bleeding ones. I work outside and get bit by skeeters all the time. 4 days ago I contracted some mysterious illness that took me sideways. (last time I got fairly sick was over 2 1/2 years ago) It started with migraines and stabbing pain being my left eye. thenOMG the muscle spasms are insanely painful. All over. Ive had fevers and shivers, no appetite, nausea, and bone and joint pain. Ive lost 5 pounds in as many days. Bone pain is worse than muscle spasms but it went away yesterday: it started in my right thigh then the pelvis then my shoulders and neck. Ive been taking E.O.s and other palliative care that I possess. (oh and the lymph node behind right ear is hard as a marble) LISTEN FOLKS: this Dengue is horrible painful and debilitating. Ive not been able to really work this week. Be very cautious outside in humidity if you have Dengue. The feversshivers catch you quickly and with outside heat you will stroke out. Sweat dumps from my pores where you can actually sit and watch it bead up and come out while just sitting. The shivers can only be rid of with super hot baths (that helps the muscle spasms too). When I am back to full health, I will tell any who ask the regimen I took to recover. give them urine Do viruses even exist? On isolating viruses: Viral isolate does not mean obtaining a pure sample of a virus free of all contaminants. Viruses are isolated by indirectly detecting their presence in a cell culture. A sample of fluid THOUGHT to contain a particular virus is added to a suitable cell line and the viruss presence is determined by a variety of methods: by a change in the appearance of the cells, by their death, by the release of a particular protein ASSUMED to be from the virus, or by detecting part of the genetic sequences ASSUMED to be of the virus. Cells naturally produce viral-like particles without being invaded, both when healthy and sick: Scientists like Barbara McClintock, who won a Nobel Prize for finding that cells operate with intelligence and seek to repair themselves, have given us a very different understanding of the particles they make. We now know that our cells create multitudes of tiny transport particles (vesicles) to carry the proteins and genetic codes needed within and between cells. The ones that travel between cells, those our cells use to communicate with each other are puzzlingly just like those that we have long blamed for illnesses. It now seems that we may have misconceived the virus; that most of them could well be simply inert messages in envelopes carried from cell to cell. In the last ten years scientists have begun to call them exosomes, particles that leave the body of the cell, removing the inference that the word virus carries, of them being dangerous by nature. Distinguishing the healthy particle from the pathogenic is now an enormous problem for the virologist, for it has been discovered that our cells make them all in the same way, in the very same place. It also seems we cannot stop this process without risking severely damaging our cells. So, perhaps we need to halt the juggernaut of virology with its virus hunt, and look to see if there is another way of helping us keep healthy. We need to know how we can strengthen the malnourished cell, rather than use the many drugs that try to prevent it from making particles by interfering with its essential processes.

Lancet, 29 Mar 1909, we find: Kochs Postulates are rarely, if ever, complied with. The Robert Koch Postulate: If germs/viruses exist and cause disease, then 1. the organism must be present in every case 2. must be isolated 3. must cause the disease in a healthy host 4. must be isolated again Each postulate has been disproven, then and now, but that has not cheated them of their place as basic tenets in the Germ Theory Religion. Koch made the first vaccine for tuberculosis, employing these same Postulates. He called the vaccine tuberculin. In Berlin alone, 2000 patients were inoculated with tuberculin. Unfortunately they died at a higher rate than TB patients who hadnt been treated at all. Tuberculin simply did not work. More distressing for Koch was the admission by the Prussian government that theyd made an exclusive agreement with Koch to sell the remedy and divide the profits. Not only was this a political disaster for the Prussian government and for Koch himself, but it was an embarrassment for the cause of scientific medicine when all the prestige of the scientific method suddenly suffered this blow. Koch never recovered his credibility and is remembered today only for his Postulates. But Koch helped set the stage for the marriage of science and marketing, for which divorce does not appear likely any time soon, especially at present. So are germs [an umbrella term that includes viruses] the cause of disease or arent they? Bechamp said that there was enough truth in that notion to make it seem reasonable at first glance. Sure we can sometimes identify certain types of bacteria in certain disease conditions. And its undeniable that organisms can be found rampant within populations suffering from epidemics and outbreaks, as Laurie Garrett describes in The Coming Plague. But consider this: what if many more people than those who actually get a disease have the bug? Usually the only people we test are the ones who get sick. So it looks like theyre the only ones who have the causative organism in measurable amounts. From Pasteur to the present, there is an entire other point of view that has been supported: maybe the bad bugs are commonly present in many normal people, but only multiply out of control when allowed to because of a weak immune system. Theyre harmless until they proliferate. This is a fundamental notion. Bacteria and parasites cannot cause disease processes unless they find their own peculiar morbid soil in which to grow and multiply. -Henry Lindlahr, MD Founder of Lindlahr Sanitarium http://www.whale.to/vaccine/shea1.html ____________________________ All antibody tests are plagued by the fact that antibodies react with agents other than those they were made against in the first place. What is needed, before all patients with positive tests are religiously told they are infected with what AIDS experts regard as a lethal retrovirus, is verification of the authenticity of the test against the presence of the virus itself, that is, verification against the yardstick of HIV isolation. To date, this most basic requirement has not been met and thus there is no scientific basis whatsoever for labelling an HIV antibody positive person HIV infected. Dr. Valendar F.

These so-called viruses are merely lifeless fragments of mitochondrial generic debris. Because of this, viruses cannot cause disease unless they accumulate as filth and pollute our cells, tissues and circulation upon cellular death. Viruses, then, are dead genomes from disintegrated cells whose cellular membrane is not completely broken down by cellular lysosomes. . http://www.mednat.org/ExposingTheMythOfTheGermTheory.pdf ____________________________ Synthesis of the Work of Enderlein, Bechamps and other Pleomorphic Researchers http://www.explorepub.com/articles/enderlein3.html ____________________________ Fear of the Invisible by Janine Roberts isbn 0955917727 This book takes its readers on a journey into the very heart of the hunt for viruses to the key experiments performed to prove that these invisibly small particles cause diseases that often were previously blamed on toxins or bacteria.

The interview was published in the LA Weekly. Warner had serious doubts about the HIV theory of AIDS, and would arrange a White House conference on the issue. Pro and anti HIV scientists would be permitted to speak at length. At the last minute, the conference was cancelled. Rappoport: The definition of AIDS in Africa is now becoming synonymous with starvation. Theyre saying the three major symptoms are chronic diarrhea, fever, and wasting-away. Weight-loss. It certainly makes a perfect smokescreen for the aspect of hunger which is political [and intentionally maintained] just call it AIDS. https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2015/09/14/virus-fakery-my-conversation-with-a-virologist/ ____________________________ Galalae K (2016) Turning Nature against Man: The Role of Pandemics, Vaccines and Genetics in the UNs Plan to Halt Population Growth.

Ralph Peters, who accidentally called President Barack Obama a total p***y on live television the other day. Peters was asked by Stuart Varney what he shouted at his television during Obamas recent speech. [Obama] keeps speaking about we cant give into our fears, dont be afraid, Peters began. Look, Mr. President, were not afraid, were angry, were pissed off, were furious! We want you to react, do something. Youre afraid. Peters sentiments have been echoed by several analysts and presidential candidates this week, who feel that Obama just made America look weak. This guy is such a total p***y, it is stunning, he continued. This is a president who cares more about thugs in Ferguson, Missouri, than he does about law-abiding American citizens. While were sure much of the American public agrees with Peters, he has been suspended from the network for two weeks. Hell also be joined by Stacey Dash, who slipped up on air and said that President Obama does not give a s**t about terrorism. Watch Peters comments below: 
2	Dolly Parton Makes Bold Statement About Obama, Fans Are Outraged Recently, Dolly Parton appeared on CNN to speak up in support of President Obama. In the clip, which has now gone viral, Parton admits that Obama isnt as popular with the American people as he once was. Still, she defends him by claiming that he is just trying to do the best he can. She then reassures viewers that she has not lost faith in the president, and that she will continue to stand behind him. Of course, Obamas issues in the White House extend far beyond his dwindling popularity. His behavior has been unethical, and some would argue criminal. What do you think? Should Dolly Parton stick to music and leave politics alone?

1	A mandatory 8 a.m. meeting at appliance distributor Parnell International appears to have refocused and re-energized the company's sales team, upper-management sources reported Monday. Parnell International customer associates get fired up. 'Ostensibly, I called the meeting to remind everyone of our August goal to promote our Parnell Home Vision complete kitchen packages,' company vice-president Allan Schwantes said. 'But the truth is, I felt we also needed to reiterate our customer-service goals and, what with summer winding down and all, give the entire department a little shot in the arm.' The sales staff of Parnell International, a Houston-based distributor of high-end appliances to building contractors, interior designers, and property-management companies, is made up of 17 'customer associates,' all of whom attended the one-hour meeting. 'Boy, that sure was a great meeting,' customer associate Roger Gerber said. 'It was really worth putting off my morning calls to be reminded what the job I've done for the last six years entails.' 'I'm so 're-energized,'' Gerber added. 'Vroom, vroom. Let's go make some more money for Parnell International.' In addition to refocusing and re-energizing the staff, Schwantes said he used the meeting to 'build customer-associate confidence' in the new line of Bosch built-in double ovens and Pro Style ranges and cooktops. 'We're working with an entirely new level of premium kitchen appliances here, people,' Schwantes told the sales staff. 'You're going to be really jazzed about these ovens when you see the demo models.' Shortly after the meeting, customer associate Beth Clark expressed excitement over the new ovens. 'New ovens,' said Clark, twirling an index finger. 'Whoopee.' Schwantes admitted that he didn't invent all of the motivational techniques he employed at the meeting. Many of them, he said, were lifted from the Robert A. Wilcox book The Emperor's New Closers: Managing And Motivating A Killer Sales Team. 'I've used a lot of Wilcox's '50 Ways To Sell Your Sellers,' and they really seem to maximize productivity and efficiency, just like he said they would,' Schwantes said. 'Everyone was really motivated by today's teambuilding exercises.' Attendee Brenda Rivers described one of the exercises. 'We spent 20 minutes going around the room telling one thing we saw another salesperson do that 'inspired' us,' Rivers said. 'Twenty minutes.' Schwantes said he succeeded in covering the entire agenda he had laid out in his pre-meeting jam session with department heads. 'We hit on some of the more important Better-Seller Bullet Points, but my primary objective was to draw attention to the need for increased enthusiasm among customer associates,' Schwantes said. 'Sure enough, when I called the end of the meeting, everyone practically leapt out of their seats and ran for the door, ready to sell, sell, sell.' Encouraged by the positive response, Schwantes said he plans to hold more '4Ms'Monday-Morning Motivational Meetingsin the future.

3	Alternative Media Future and RiskSARTRE In this electronic age, when reading a book is considered a sentence of torture, the hash tag in a tweet is held out as grand sophistication. If surveyed, how many working-age adults have ever read an Encyclopedia Britannica in a hardback edition? The point is that perception in images and sound bites is no substitute for thought, reflection and discernment. The political messages and agenda for acceptable discourse are provided through filtered lenses presented as establishment news. The mainstream media, print, broadcast, televised, electronic and cultural all have in common a coordinated Political Correctness in content. The claims of diversity appear in every color, language and customs, while pushing the same reign of terror over the minds of critical thinking individuals. The term alternative media is a pejorative slur to the power elites, and screams out as an independent source of honest reporting to intrepid truth seekers. That often suspect source, Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia states: Proponents of alternative media argue that the mainstream media often perpetuate traditional hegemonic power relations via their selection of content and their rhetorical and structural framing of news and information. As a reader of social and political commentary on BREAKING ALL THE RULES, it should be self-evident that the choice of that name has significance and purpose. The following list is a sample of sites that have supported our efforts and published BATR articles. If you are an avid and aware political observer, most of these publications should be regular sources of trusted information. It is because this standard poses an existential and pragmatic threat to any established order, governments and institutions both fear and hate efforts to awake public awareness and stamp out any sign of any populist outrage. Since the Internet has developed into a prime source of news for those who are electronically tuned in; the monopoly that the network TV, corporate radio news and conglomerate print gatekeepers once enjoyed has been breaking apart with a considerable loss of influence. Before your elation that unorthodox and provocative reporting is becoming the new normal, the power elite strikes back. The virtual downright control over the legislative process, the Corporatist/State axis has the ability to pass laws that limit free speech. Add to this dilemma the power of the bureaucracy to regulate and executive orders to restrict effective political discourse and candid debate have a most formidable obstacle to overcome. Not all activists are endowed with unbridled courage. Computerworld reports that 75% of writers in free countries self-censor due to fears of mass surveillance. The situation is getting worse, not better according to the recent PEN America report Global Chilling: The Impact of Mass Surveillance on International Writers (pdf ). After 772 writers from 50 countries completed an online survey, PEN found that the results demonstrate the damaging impact of surveillance by the United States and other governments on free expression and creative freedom around the world. Now look at the account from ZDNet article, White House just endorsed CISPA measures, two years after veto threat. Given that the White House rightly criticized CISPA in 2013 for potentially facilitating the unnecessary transfer of personal information to the government or other private sector entities when sending cybersecurity threat data, were concerned that the Administration proposal will unintentionally legitimize the approach taken by these dangerous bills, the Electronic Frontier Foundation said in a statement. CISPA 2015 would provide for an even cozier relationship between Silicon Valley and the US government at the detriment of civil liberties and privacy for everyone else, writer Rachael Tackett said on Tuesday. A similarly-named bill Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) made it through one of the Senates committees, adding yet another legislative voice to the mix. Critics of the bill, however, called it an even more toxic bill than CISPA. Both tech publications would not normally be considered part of the alternative media. Yet, from a perspective of imposing a climate of intimidation and implementing a data sucking collection system, the prospects of protecting a free exchange of ideas and news that is often critical of abusive authority is facing a real and present danger. The future of an open and uncensored Internet is very much in doubt. The reemergence of the printing press may well become the refuge of political incorrectness. If the richest 1% may own half of global wealth by 2016, surely the even smaller 1% of that ominous 1% controls electoral politics, filters acceptable content in the mainstream media, enforces government decrees and maintains governance over societys institutions. The secular culture has no room for a counter voice of traditional values. Allowing independent inquiry or social criticism to flourish online, risks the dominance of the establishment. However, the probability of public dissent to hit critical mass is far off. What now passes for critical thinking in universities is a shell of Aristotelian logic. Since the average bottom feeder is so wrapped up in scraping out a meager existence, most have no time or inclination to ponder the social and political issues of the day. This fact is well known by the elites who own, edit and present the daily chapter of contrived history that sadly passes as broadcast network news. No matter what ideological bent one has, gathering your news from MSNBC, CNN or Fox News, just means your source of viewpoints cater to a political value that actually has no authentic values. Truth is seldom discovered within the mass media or from government propagandists. US Media Executive Includes Russia Today (RT) in the same Challenge List as ISIS and Boko Haram, is an example of official state absurdity. Newly-appointed chief of US Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), Andrew Lack, has named RT one of the agencys main challenges alongside extremist groups like the Islamic State and Boko Haram. Lack, the first chief executive of the BBG, mentioned RT in an interview with The New York Times. We are facing a number of challenges from entities like Russia Today which is out there pushing a point of view, the Islamic State in the Middle East and groups like Boko Haram, he said. But I firmly believe that this agency has a role to play in facing those challenges. This kind of assault on a foreign news network that frequently counters NATO strategy and the U.S. Empire is hard to believe that any stable person would accept such nonsense. So when the response in the account, Ex-BBG member: News outlets should never be compared to terrorists, it should be obvious that power politics surely outweighs open expression. Comparing news outlets to terror organizations is jeopardizing the very foundations of freedom of speech in the US, Blanquita Cullum, ex-Broadcasting Board of Governors member, said after BBGs new boss placed RT on par with ISIS and Boko Haram. RT is not part of the online alternative media per se but it certainly is outside the regurgitation of DC government press release reporting. Now if a major news network can be placed in the cross hairs for censoring, what chance do independent anti-establishment Internet sites have to remain online long term? Even when a sincere and concerned citizen wants to become educated and discovers a sage of wisdom and veracity that provides accurate information, most people prefer their dazed existence. So the quandary is inescapable. The more successful alternative media becomes, the more it will undergo the microscope of government tyrants. And achieving bigger victories for arousing the righteous anger of oppressed Americans, the more intense establishment attacks will become.

2	Chelsea Clinton Humiliated On Live TV After THIS Happens [VIDEO] The entire Clinton family has been making headlines this weekand not in the way they might like. At the end of last week, we reported on Bill Clintons outrageous disrespect of a Marine veteran who asked him about Hillarys role in Benghazi. Now, Chelsea Clinton has reportedly given a speech slamming the Republican party for being racist, homophobic, [and] sexist. Chelsea made the comments to a pathetic audience of 75, which we can only imagine is a smaller turnout than she was hoping for. While its important to have a president who knows when to stand her ground and give no purchase to the racist, homophobic, sexist rhetoric and policy ideas that are coming out of the Republican side, its also important to have a president who knows how to find common ground, Chelsea commented. Watch the full clip below and tell us what you think. Do we need to keep the Clintons far away from the White House? 
3	Big Pharma Testing Oxycontin On Children as Young as 6 to Keep PatentElizabeth Renter Naturalsociety.com So addictive, in fact, that it is said to lead people to using heroin in order to get a cheaper high when their budget cant keep up with their Oxycontin habit. (This move only became more pronounced after the maker of Oxy changed their formula to reportedly discourage addiction). Well, the maker of this wonder-drug, responsible for countless overdose deaths, is so concerned with their patent running out, that theyve decided to test the drug on children as young as six years old. The company is Purdue Pharma LP. And their concern isnt in helping children overcome some deadly illness or debilitating pain, but instead lies (not surprisingly) with their bottom line. The patent of OxyContin is set to expire in August of 2013; when that occurs, other Big Pharma companies will be able to make generic versions of the pricey narcotic and sell them for much cheaper, taking some away from Purdues pockets. By starting new trials on children, Purdue Pharma is able to extend their patent by six months. They are able to do this with a program from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that actually encourages drug companies to test their poisons on the youngest members of our communities. According to Natural News, the FDA states testing drugs on children helps to bridge the pediatric knowledge gap of how drugs that are approved for adults perform in children. Since doctors often prescribe drugs off label to children, the FDA considers aftermarket testing on children to be beneficial for society. In one case, vaccine and drug giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has been fined 400,000 pesos (around the equivalent of $93,000) by an Argentinian judge for killing 14 babies during illegal lab vaccine trials that were conducted between 2007 and 2008. The judge also asserted that the corporation actually falsified parental authorizations so that babies could participate without legitimate parental permission. The six month extension for Oxy seems like a little bit of gain for a major sacrifice, right? The company is willing to put kids in the lab in exchange for only six months? But, for Purdue, and likely any other drug company in their shoes, its a no brainer. Purdue made $2.8 billion in sales on OxyContin last year alone. Six months has the potential to earn them another nearly billion-and-a-half. It seems that pharmaceutical painkillers will continue to ravage the population.

3	5 Ways to Improve the Public School Experience with Unschooling TechniquesBohemian Mom How can we care so much about our children while knowingly walking away from the other kids that are stuck in what I feel is a completely inefficient model for gaining knowledge? We cant completely ignore these challenges. While I am not there in the U.S. to personally advocate changes, I can offer up some tips to help bring some homeschooling philosophies of learning into the classroom. It will require an open mind and a willingness to try something new, but I believe these ideas could revolutionize the way our public education system functions. It will seem idealistic to some, but isnt that what we need? Our children deserve new ideas to help guide them into the quickly changing future. Our public school systems are deeply rooted in an archaic mindset and it is vital to change sooner rather than later. I started to think of what an ideal school setting would look like to me, as an unschooler. If we look at the ways in which home educators teach, there are many components that can be introduced on a larger scale and used in schools now! In my opinion, these things could make our children successful on a whole new level. Happiness, confidence, and seeking out their own passions can take precedence even on a large scale. Change the way we vieweducating children First and foremost, we need to begin by looking at all children as individuals, and make sure that they know it is okay to be exactly who they are. Acceptance by others is one of the easiest ways we can instill a positive sense of self esteem. One of our biggest problems with a mass education system is that children are judged on one path and one centrally-dictatedcurriculum. They are also constantly compared to peers and encouraged to do things no matter what their own ideas of happiness or success are. Throw away the list of arbitrary rules that make children feel mistrusted right out of the gate. Children need to feel like they are being guided, not controlled. Allow them the freedom to make choices individually about what they would like to do for at least part of the day, and then respect and encourage those choices. By showing children respect, we will gain it too as well as boosting their self esteem and allowing them to pursue subjects of their passion. This can be done by simply allowing them choice and encouragement! This concept is already proving successful by someMontessorischools. So many children dislike school yet they spend a huge percentage of their lives within those walls. By treating children as equals rather than subordinates that need to be controlled, its my opinion that they will enjoy their childhood and find excitement in learning. Apprenticeships Very little about being confined in school resembles the real world. Why not get children out in it as soon as possible? Mechanics, plumbers, electricians, contractors, computer programmers, and even artists are all people that have a wealth of knowledge to offer, yet it seems as though what they do or what they have to offer counts for very little. Many high schools in Northern Europe use apprenticeships as part of their standardcurriculum. Most students graduate and can go right into a career already trained. While others may only need another year or two of university to build on their specialty. The whole system is less costly and more effective toward educating young people for the profession they desire. Accept that learning takes place all the time and in many ways Whatever a child shows interest in is important, period. Let their creativity shine through in what ever way speaks to them. Offer as many possibilities in a day as possible, but never force anyone to partake. No real passion is born out of coercion. Passion is something we should be building up in children; that is how we will end up with happy adults that follow their dreams. Show them the possibilities in the world, not just the path that most take. The hardest part is for adults (especially teachers and parents) to let go of what we have been taught is important. Useless facts, memorized dates, etc. are all wonderful if pertinent to your life, but when it is not, it very rarely stays with us. We need to show our kids that what they love has value, whether that is playing video games, learning about animals, or reading Shakespeare. It all holds value and they are learning all the time. Disclaimer: Even most unschoolers feel that reading and basic math are important, as they are the basic tools that help us learn on our own. However, even these can be taught in creative ways that tickle the passions of the student. For instance, math concepts can be taught by playing card games or calculating outcomes of reward systems; and reading can be taught using only material the student wants to learn about. Open up the system for competition For years the debate has been about money. Special interests on all sides say that more money is needed to achieve this goal. Yet, America already spends far more per student than any other developed nation with rather unimpressive results I might add. The U.S. government currently spends over $10K per year to educate each student.Sure, more money might be helpful to achieve this goal if spent properly. However, trusting that will happen with all of the special interests andbureaucracies seeking their cut is highly unlikely. In my opinion, the only way to reduce class sizes in public schools is to open them to competition. In other words, open public funding to private schools to compete with public schools. Drop the centrally-dictatedcurriculumor board-certified teachers requirements for these private schools to receive funds and let the free market determine whos most effective at educating our children. Naturally, parents want the best for their children and will choose a school that gains a reputation for success, however it is defined by the parent. Whether the school is geared toward apprenticeships, learning foreign languages, the arts, meditation, or sports shouldnt matter in regards to how funds are distributed. Again, its more about choice. We dont need to look any further than Canada to find an example of how this could work. In Calgary, students can choose between public schools,Montessori, Catholic schools, and a host of other private schools. Each of these schools receives funding per student as if theyre a public school. However, each is still strictly regulated bycurriculumand teacher certifications. I say shave those regulations back even further and let parents decide whats important in a school. Utilize technology I know that many schools and individual teachers are starting to see the importance of this, but I think it needs to be happening at an even faster pace. The world is so much different decade to decade; we need to help keep our children on track. I would argue that teaching andutilizingtechnology effectively in education may be one of the most important things to helping prepare our children. So many jobs that are now supporting families did not even exist five years ago. Personally, our familys travel lifestyle is only possible because of the Internet and this technology. Keeping that knowledge from children, or making them feel that it is a less valuable way to spend their time seems completely outrageous to me. They need to learn it in order to be able to make educated choices about their own future. Tablets like iPads are just the latest gadgets that parents are told can be damaging to our children, but I wholeheartedly disagree. Young boys and girls need to know how to function on these tablets in order to open up all possibilities to them in the future. Its far more beneficial than spending countless hours practicing penmanship which still goes on in schools. Besides the operation knowledge of this technology, the educational applications are endless the Kindle app alone holds thousands of backpacks worth of books. Finally, with these handheld devices, students literally have access to all of the worlds knowledge in the palm of their hand. The ramifications of that ability on our current brick-and-mortar educational paradigm are almost too many to list. I do not expect that my unschooled kids spend the entire day on the Internet, but allowing children to play games and learn in unconventional ways online will allow them to discover technology first hand and learn how to harness it. In the next installment, I will offer 5 additional ideas about what can remove from the outright destructive aspects of public school, so that our children can learn in a healthier, safer environment.

3	Hiding Economic Depression With SpinPaul Craig Roberts Consider for example the spin put on the advance estimate of the real GDP growth rate for the second quarter announced on July 31. The annual rate of 1.7 percent real GDP growth for the second quarter of 2013 was presented optimistically as an acceleration in real GDP from the first quarters 1.1 percent growth rate. However, the reason for the acceleration in growth is that the first quarters estimate was revised down from 1.8 percent to 1.1 percent. The second quarter GDP growth rate is also subject to revised estimates. Most likely, the final number will be lower. Consider also that the reason that real GDP is positive is that nominal GDP is deflated with an understated measure of inflation. The measure of inflation has been manipulated in order to deny Social Security recipients cost of living adjustments. Statistician John Williams (shadowstats.com) reports that if deflated by previous official methodology, GDP growth has been negative since the downturn in 2007. In other words, the recovery is just another government hoax. Another failure of the financial press and economic commentators is the interpretation of the Federal Reserves policy of Quantitative Easing. The Fed is said to be keeping interest rates low in order to stimulate business investment and the housing market. This explanation is nothing but cover for the real purpose of QE, which is to drive up and keep high the debt related derivatives on the books of the banks too big too fail. Low interest rates pull up the prices of all debt instruments, and the higher prices raise the values on the banks balance sheets, making the banks look more solvent or less insolvent. The Fed has continued QE for years, despite the policys failure to revive the economy, in order to hold the banks collapse at bay in the hopes that the banks would succeed in boosting their earnings sufficiently to get out of trouble. The Feds QE policy has also jeopardized the US dollar because of the several-fold increase in the number of dollars over the last few years. In order to support bond prices, the Fed has created 1,000 billion new dollars annually over the last several years. The supply of dollars has out grown the demand for dollars, putting the dollars exchange value under pressure. To protect the dollar from QE, the Fed and its dependent bullion banks have engaged in ruthless shorting of gold in order to suppress the price of gold. The rapidly rising gold price indicated falling confidence in the dollar, and the Fed feared that this lack of confidence would spread into the currency markets. By printing dollars to support the banks, the Fed has created a bond market bubble, a stock market bubble, and a dollar bubble. If the Fed stops printing money, not only will the banks balance sheets take a hit, but so will the bond, stock, and real estate markets. Wealth would be wiped out. No one could any longer pretend that there is an economic recovery. The impact on the dollar is less clear. On the one hand, curtailment of the dollars rapid increase in supply would help the currency. On the other hand, the drop in values of dollar-denominated assets, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate could cause the demand for dollars to decrease. Foreigners for example who sell dollar-based assets might also convert their dollar proceeds into their domestic currencies. The failures of the financial press require the explanation that I have provided of QE, the bubble economy, and the manipulated measures of real GDP, inflation, and unemployment. However, although these explanations are necessary, they are themselves a diversion. The real reason that the US economy cannot recover is that it has been moved offshore. Millions of US manufacturing and tradable professional service jobs such as software engineering have been moved to China, India and other countries where wages and salaries are a fraction of those in the US. Using free trade as a cloak, corporations have turned labor costs into a profits center. The drop in labor costs raises profits, which are then distributed to executives as performance bonuses and to shareholders as capital gains. The impact on US employment can be seen from the BLS monthly payroll jobs data and from the declining US labor force participation rate. The participation rate is not falling because consumer incomes are rising and fewer family members are needed in the work force. The rate is falling because discouraged workers have given up looking for employment and have left the work force. The use of foreign labor in place of US labor is beneficial to executives and shareholders in the short-run, but it is detrimental in the longer-run. The long-run effect is to destroy the US consumer market. When jobs offshoring halted the rise in US consumer income, in order to keep the economy going the Federal Reserve substituted a growth in consumer debt for the missing growth in consumer income. For example, the housing bubble created by Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan allowed home owners to spend the inflated equity in their homes by refinancing their mortgages. The substitution of consumer debt for the missing growth in real wages and salaries is limited by the burden of debt on households. Unlike the government, American citizens cannot print the money with which to pay their bills. Once consumers were unable to take on more debt, the consumer economy ceased to expand. The government can print money with which to pay its bills, but if history is a guide, governments cannot forever print money without serious consequences. The real economic crisis will hit when the bubble economy can no longer be supported by the printing press. It should be obvious to economists, but apparently is not, that Walmart-type jobs of the New Economy do not pay sufficiently to support a consumer-dependent economy. As Obamacare is phased in, consumer purchasing power will suffer another blow. Even the subsidized premiums are expensive, and the cost of using the policies in terms of deductions and co-pays will be prohibitive for most. As employer-provided benefits and Medicare are cut back, the health care crisis will worsen in the midst of an economic crisis. The scary part of the pending economic crisis occurs when the federal budget deficit widens as the economy contracts and the Fed finds itself in a situation where it cannot print yet more dollars without causing a loss in confidence in the dollar and US Treasury bonds. What does a desperate government do in such a situation? It confiscates what remains of private pensions, piles on taxes, and drives the people and the economy deeper into the ground. This is the path that US economic policy is on. What is the solution? Capitalism could be allowed to work and the banks to fail. It is cheaper to bail out depositors than to bail out the banks. Corporations could be taxed on the basis of the geographical location at which value is added to their product. If corporations create the goods abroad that they market to Americans, they would have a high tax rate. If they create value domestically with US labor, they would have a low tax rate. The tax difference could be used to offset the labor cost advantage of offshored production. It would take time, but jobs would come back to the US. Cities, states, and the federal government would slowly see their tax bases rebuilt. Consumer incomes would again rise with productivity, and the economy could be put back together. As for the federal deficit, it could be significantly reduced by ending Washingtons wars. As various experts have established, these wars are extremely expensive, adding trillions of dollars to the financing needs of the US government. As other experts have shown, the wars do not benefit anyone but a narrow clique of military/security industries. Obviously, it is not democratic to destroy a peoples future for the sake of special interests. Can these solutions be implemented or are the entrenched special interests too strong and too short-sighted? There is no prospect of finding out as long as the financial press and economic commentators are immune to reality. Until the real situation is understood, nothing can be done. It is difficult to sell a solution when the problem is not recognized and understood. That is why I focus on explaining the problems.

3	3 Robbers Stick Victim in Gun ClosetAmanda Warren Recently, three armed crooks broke into a mans home to find the homeowners son. They shoved him into a closet which just happened to be his dads gun haven. When it was safe the young man grabbed a gun to go downstairs where the 20-year-old armed intruder fired at him and missed. The resident fired and hit the armed intruder twice once in the neck, and once in the leg. He didnt get very far before collapsing in the neighborhood and crying out in Spanish. He is now in the hospital. His two buddies ditched him, of course, driving away in a Chevrolet Tahoe and are still on the loose. The unnamed hero is rattled, but is receiving nothing but support from his friendly, thankful neighbors. Neighbor Craig Gladdis comically spares no sympathy for the injured criminal, saying things like: Oh, and by saying you people, yes, he is stereotyping. Hes referring to people who think its okay to take weapons and bust into peoples homes in broad daylight to steal and then shoot at them. Yes, it is all right to keep them out and stop crime from spreading. Even though the gun fight spilled out into the street, there were no legal hassles. Does Castle Doctrine extend into the streets? Recent news pieces dont describe police bothering victims or store owners who chase after criminals and shoot after the buggers high tail it. Craig joins the newscasters in heavily praising the boy who defended himself, his home, and his neighborhood. Source: Also See: 
3	The Era Of Widespread Biometric Indentification And Microchip Implants Is HereMichael Snyder Proponents of these new technologies say that they will make our private information and our bank accounts much more secure. But there are others that warn that these kinds of Big Brother technologies will set the stage for even more government intrusion into our lives. In the wrong hands, such technologies could prove to be an absolute nightmare. Barclays has just announced that it is going to become the first major bank in the Western world to use vein scanning technology to control access to bank accounts. There will even be a biometric readerthat customers plug into their computers at home The bank has teamed up with Japanese technology firm Hitachi to develop a biometric reader that scans a customers finger to access accounts, instead of using a password or PIN. The biometric reader, which plugs into a customers computer at home, uses infrared lights to scan blood flow in a persons finger. The user must then scan the same finger a second time to confirm a transaction. Each vein profile will be stored on a SIM card inside the device. Vein recognition technology is used by some banks in Japan and elsewhere at ATM machines, but Barclays said it is the first bank globally to use it for significant account transactions. But Barclays is not the only one that is making a big move into biometric identification. Online retailing behemoth Alibaba is going to start usingfingerprint scanning in an attempt to make their transactions more secure It is only a matter of time before more banks, online retailers and major websites start using this kind of technology. We live at a time when theft on the Internet threatens to spiral out of control, and big corporations are going to be continually looking for answers. Cell phone security is another area of great concern these days. If someone can get a hold of your phone and unlock it, that person can potentially do all sorts of damage. So Motorola has developed a digital tattoo that will be used to ensure that only the owner of a phone is able to unlock it. The following is how Motorola described these new digital tattoos And below I have posted the video that Motorola shared on YouTube about these tattoos Pretty bizarre stuff, eh? But others are taking cell phone security to even greater extremes. For example, some people were actually implanting themselves with microchips in anticipation of the release of the iPhone 6 on September 9th Of course this kind of thing is not new. People have been getting implanted with microchips for years. If you doubt this, just do an Internet search for biohackers and see what you find. But it is starting to become more mainstream, and there are already some thinkers that are quite eager to use such technology for very authoritarian purposes. For example, one prominent philosopher recently suggested that we should use implantable microchips to prevent anyone that isdeemed unworthy from becoming a parent You might be tempted to think that this is crazy talk. But the truth is that this kind of technology is already being developed. In aprevious article, I quoted a news article which discussed how billionaire Bill Gates is funding the development of a birth control microchip that acts as a contraceptive for 16 years 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. Yes, I know that a lot of the things that I have talked about in this article sound really weird. But the reality of the matter is that technology is changing at an exponential rate, and our world is going to get crazier and crazier as time goes by. Are you ready for what comes next?

1	According to witnesses at your old high school, the guy you let touch your boobs after the Queensrche concert still takes off shortly before lunch every day to sneak a smoke behind the dugouts. Although he can no longer fit into the filthy army jacket that used to impress you, sources confirmed that the paunchy, middle-aged man clumsily rolling his own Bali Shag cigarettes and hassling passing freshman is in fact the same boyfriend you defended to your mother almost two decades ago.

1	Building on a decades-long career serving government and academic institutions in his home country, outgoing Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad officially accepted a position at Sarah Lawrence College as the next Dean of Students, officials for the private New York liberal arts school announced today. It is both an honor and a privilege to welcome Professor Ahmadinejad to the administrative team at Sarah Lawrence, to which he brings a wealth of leadership experience and a deep passion for our undergraduate program, college president Karen Lawrence said of the right-wing Islamic leader and former engineering professor, who will teach two introductory courses in government as well as oversee the Office of Residence life, the Center for Health and Wellness, and the First Year Experience program. From his first visit to campus in April, it was clear to everyone that Professor Ahmadinejad is a passionate and student-centered leader who understands our commitment to a highly individualized course of study, including our strong focus on the creative and performing arts, and our commitment to a diverse and culturally progressive campus community. We are proud to welcome him to our faculty. At press time, Dean Ahmadinejad had announced that his first order of business in the fall was to increase campus resources for the Queer Voice Coalition. 
2	Youll Never Believe Why Liberals Are Attacking Paula Deens Family As we all know, celebrity chef Paula Deen has been under fire from the public ever since the racism scandal broke out last year. It has been an uphill battle for Deen, who is just now beginning to recover and start her own TV shows. Apparently, her impending climb back to fame has liberals angry, and they are starting to attack her family. Jaimie Deen, Paulas son, is the next victim of public scrutiny. Allegedly, Deen forced an employee of his restaurant to dress up as Aunt Jemima a kiss him for a photograph. Deen claims the allegations are completely false. Instead, the picture shows a cherished employee, who is extraordinarily popular at the restaurant. The women shown in the picture goes by the nickname Jellyroll, which Deen used when he posted the picture on the Twitter with the caption Dont tell Brooke. The post was obviously a lighthearted joke, referring to Deens wife Brooke. What do you think of the scandal? Did Jaimie Deen do anything wrong? 
3	U.S. Air Force to Defend Super Bowl Airspace From Invisible ThreatBy Bernie Suarez So it shouldnt surprise anyone that CNN is marketing a pro-military propaganda video that brags about how the U.S. Air Force will be patrolling the skies at the Super Bowl in Santa Clara, California this coming Sunday February 7, 2016. When I came across this video I was thinking, defend the Super Bowl Airspace from who and what?? Are we being conditioned to anticipate terrorism coming from the sky? Is this just another conditioning exercise for accepting martial law? Is this setting everyone up for some type of WW3-triggering false flag? The world is trying to defend itself from the U.S. military while the U.S. Air Force is defending the Super Bowl air space from apparently its invisible enemies. Its amazing how the U.S. military has bases all over the world and is the clear world military power, yet they always manage to sell the idea that they have dangerous imaginary enemies all over the place. Keep in mind the tactic of creating imaginary enemies is the lifeline of military funding. If they pull off a false flag on Sunday Im sure they will have plenty of intelligence sources prepared to release those memos to let us know that Russian jet fighters, ISIS or some other enemy of choice attacked or tried to attack the Super Bowl. They may even tell us how the Air Force saved everyone. What makes this even more difficult to swallow is not just the fact that the likelihood of an aerial attack from an actual bona fide enemy of the U.S. is close to zero, but the greater thing to notice is how the Air Force promotional video brings the military to you, the civilian, selling you hope and safety. This is martial law being sold as cool and stylish. Americans need to keep in mind that the U.S. military should have no role in our lives. They should not even be mentioned in conjunction with the Super Bowl. There is no genuine threat that local authorities cant stay on top of. With todays high-tech surveillance and monitoring of Americans, and with todays loss of privacy you would think an outside threat is at an all-time low. Make note of these ironies as they sell the Air Force and martial law safety to us. Realize that they dont want you to recall that the U.S. Air Force is involved in chemtrails spraying or they were directly implicated in numerous highly suspicious sequences of events on 9/11/01. See the smokescreen of lies for what it is and see that the U.S. military is deeply involved in the actions of the Deep State. See the nature of the Deep State that orchestrates false flag events all the time now. They are the true rising global government and the outer appearance of a local government acting benevolently is all part of a side show to make you believe everything is just fine. Videos like this latest Air Force propaganda commercial is a reminder to all that everything we are seeing is now all carefully scripted agendas to market ideas to you for political purposes which all tie back to money and power for the ruling elite and those cooperating with their plans. Now is the healthiest time to not believe anything you see. The Deep State lies are so deep that genuine paranoia of the state should now be the norm for anyone awake. If you are not doubtful or paranoid about the corrupt Deep State then you are likely still lost deep in the matrix of their lies. If you are not sure about all of this, dont let this last story go to waste. Use this latest story as a litmus test to determine if you are awakened and informed. Ask yourself, is the fact that the Air Force story being sold to us natural, or is there a purpose for this promotional video? If you think its entirely innocent then you may very well be lost in the matrix of lies. If youve fallen for the simplicity and randomness of this then you are susceptible to their deceit and propaganda. Go out and prove this to yourself until you convince yourself that these promotional videos are not coincidental because I assure you they are not. Seeing the simplicity and obviousness of the agenda to sell martial law, which is the model for the new world order, is where your mind should be. Its time to see the new world order because they are rolling it out with every chance they get. Who knows what surprises the Super Bowl holds? Never before has it been more important to be vigilant and watchful. Note to the global elite: we are watchful and we are waiting for your next move. Let the game begin. 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. They will applaud and cheer it, mark my words. Those who are still sane must unite and organize for your own survival. Boy this hit home. I just made the huge mistake of talking about a proven natural cure for a so-called incurable disease on a medical website and several people got so angry they wrote that they hoped I fell over dead. Holy crap. Someone let the zombies out of their cages and they are pissed! Why the Super Bowl needs so much security? Plotting an attack during a regular season game wouldnt be good enough for the bogeyman?

3	Figures Dont Lie, But Liars FigureMedically SpeakingBy Catherine J. Frompovich Recently, Ive been thinking about the cost of healthcareor is it sickness carein the United States, and how its been escalating despite the purported advances in medical science and even the outlandish contention that vaccines can help to reduce sickness and its costs by improving, whats euphemistically called, herd immunity. Lets get one thing accurate: I dont consider myselfor any personto be a member of any animal herd. Im a human being with intelligence and unalienable rights granted by the very act of my being born with those implicit rights every person comes into life with: Life, which includes being able to breathe air, drink water, and eat food to maintain health and bodily functions; libertythe very essence of freedom, i.e., to be free from control mechanisms by individuals, spouses, family or friends, and most of all, by governments, especially those referred to as dictatorial; and happiness, a state of being that depends upon many contributing factors, which some humans can control and others that we cannot, but definitely impact our very lives, often in ways we always cant clearly understand or define. One overarching mechanism affecting everyone in the United States, at least, is bureaucratic control and its dictates, along with an apparent belief that government owns our children, our wealth, and even our bodies! What leads me to such a conclusion? Nothing is more demonstrable than how healthcare with all its ancillary aspects operates with dogmatic and dictatorial force of law, regardless of an individuals right to self-determination given to him or her as an inherent birthright. The above is a prelude to juxtapose against just how U.S. citizens are manipulated into demographics that no one could have imagined, especially that healthcare in the USA is now over Three Trillion Dollars a YEAR! And yet, the USA does not have the best healthcare statistics! One would think with that kind of money spent, wed be the healthiest people on the face of the earth. Not so! Guess who are? Forbes Magazine ranked Iceland as having the healthiest people in the world! [1] Having visited Iceland for one glorious week in the mid-1980s, I can understand why. Their food back then, at least, was pristine and restaurants were not put out when my late husband and I requested vegetarian meals. They were only too happy to accommodate us with magnificently prepared vegetarian food. Japan ranked second as the healthiest country, primarily due to its ages-old-diet fashioned around fresh sea vegetables, seafood, rice and veggies. That, no doubt, will change due to Fukushima radiation that has contaminated land and sea, plus the invasion of western culture cuisine. Sweden ranked third. Okinawa, a prefecture of Japan, ranked fourth. New Zealand came in fifth, and Sardinia, an autonomous region of Italy, came in sixth. Those were the rankings back in 2012 and reflected healthful living due to long-established eating patterns in those countries. [2] The USA, as a nation, has one of the most abominable dietary styles: greasy fast food fare, GMO and processed edibles, and too many unhealthful fats, sugars, and starches with very little fresh vegetables. In June of 2014, Forbes published U.S. Healthcare Ranked Dead Last Compared to 10 Other Countries [3] wherein the following rankings for the top ten countries, according to the Commonwealth Fund, were: The chart below illustrates the per capita costs in 2011 for each of the above 11 countries. What really gets interesting, I think, is that U.S. healthcare expenditures average $8,508 per person compared with Australias $3,800 per personand both are high-tech countries. The UK spends $3,405 person, but ranks first in every category on the above chart except three! The only high marks the U.S. received were a 3 for effective care and a 4 for patient-centered care. Interestingly, the UK skunked just about every nation listed except in Healthy Lives, where it ranked 10. France ranked No. 1 in Healthy Lives! Ooh-la-la! Having spent some time in most of France, I can attest as to why that is: Food there tastes like nothing back in the USA. When we returned from having spent several weeks in most of France, our taste buds became paralyzed eating fresh-grown U.S. vegetables. The French respect their food, at least when I was there. As far as Healthy Lives, the U.S. ranked 11! Forbes was keen to point out that Starbucks spends more on healthcare benefits ($300 Million [5]) than it does on coffee beansouch!, and General Motors spent more on healthcare benefits [$1,525 per car produced [4]) than steelunbelievable! For healthcare costs and statistics for the years 2010 (WHO) and 2011 (OECD), I suggest readers check out Wikipedias charts at List of countries by total healthcare expenditure (PPP) per capita. In 2010, U.S. healthcare costs represented 17.6% of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) per WHO on the Wikipedia chart. But take a look at the GDP figures in my next paragraph. Something doesnt seem to jive! Did healthcare costs go down between 2010 and 2012? I dont think so! So, what gives with the figures, anyway? Are we being told the mathematical truth? Do figures lie, or liars figure? According to The Washington Times, Furthermore, the apparent fact is that United States, with its Trillion Dollar healthcare scheme [7], came in at No. 11 when compared to other countries. As a retired consulting nutritionist, Im embarrassed to have to write that number. But heres where the figures start to muddy up more than we realize. Study the chart below, which graphically illustrates the number of vaccines that were given to children under 5 years of age AND compares the under-5-years-of-age-mortality-rate from 2009 statistics. Heres the current CDC vaccine schedule for children up to 6 years of age. Count the number of vaccines given under current recommendations. In the above chart, the countries with the lower number of vaccines given to children also had lower child mortality rates. What does that indicate? Was it coincidence? No, I dont think so. Can higher child death rate along with highest per capita healthcare spending, plus exorbitant GDP, indicate that the U.S. is doing something terribly wrong with regard to healthcare, and that citizens are NOT benefiting? Can those very prophylactic medical and pharmaceutical mandates for vaccines actually be contributing to higher healthcare costs and poorer healthful lifestyles? Are vaccines being patient loaded on the front end of life [newborns, infants, and toddlers] with U.S. children whose autism rate went from one in 10,000 in the late 1970s to one in 68 or one in 50 [depending upon whose current stats one cites] to patient loading the back end of life, senior citizens who had hardly any notable Alzheimers disease statistics in 1979 to over 5 million currently? However, there is something to corroborate the above comment. Its the statistics per the U.S. CDC for 1979 to 1991that were charted in Figure 2 on page 11 of Mortality Trends for Alzheimers Disease, 1979-91 [9], which shows that in 1979 for seniors aged 65 to 74 years old, there was 1.0 Alzheimers death per 100,000 population. [7] Table B of that very same report states that in 1990only 10 to 11 years later, 65 to 74 year old Alzheimers deaths were 10.2 per 100,000 population. Thats over ten times an increase in Alzheimers disease in a decade. If we look at the chart in Figure 2 for 1991 for 85 and older persons, there were under 200 deaths, if I interpreted the line graph correctly. Table B states 176.5 deaths per 100,000. For 95 years and older, it skyrockets to 319.6 Alzheimer deaths per 100,000 population. Now, heres the most incriminating factor affecting those statistics: Senior citizens in those age categories most likely have been residing in assisted living or some other structured medical care or community living facility that requires, and routinely delivers, annual flu and pneumococcal vaccines that are loaded with toxins and/or aluminum! It must be noted that aluminum is strongly implicated in numerous dementias [13] and Alzheimers disease, too. Table B of the above CDC report confirms: Alzheimers disease for decedents 65 years of age and over: [Age-adjusted rates per 100,000 U.S. standard million population; see appendix] Age Age-specific death rate 1 65 years and over . . . . . 43.1 6574 . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10.2 7584 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 58.6 85 years and over . . . . 187.8 8594 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 176.5 95 years and over . . . . . 319.6 Now, to elucidate further, here are the unfortunate, explosive and financial-impacting Alzheimers statistics snowballing from 1979 at 1.0 per 100,000 population to these current disastrous statistics: So, how much do figures lie or do liars figure? Thats something each individual has to sort out for him- or herself because the numbers, in reality, are telling us important information, especially that there may be causation with correlationsomething all of medicineand especially federal health agenciesrefuse to investigate, especially regarding vaccines. Why? Mathematical anomalies, I contend, have been demonstrated in the above statistics. However, vaccine loading infants and children at the beginning of life and senior citizens during their sunset years of life probably plays a more significant role in healthcare costs than we are led to believe, and maybe for more reasons than one. Furthermore, could mandatory vaccine loading be the rationale for: a) more than 300 vaccines in the developmental pipeline and, b) mandating that everyone in the USA receive all booster shots regardless of age? [15] Tremendous sums of money are to be made by vaccine manufacturers from vaccine sales, plusand this has to be understood for what it representsexcise taxes on all vaccines that go to the U.S. Treasury. Vaccines are not without their adverse reactions, even long-term health effects, which negatively will impact the ever-rising costs of healthcare/sickness care in the USA. As an example, lets see what the MMR-II vaccine can cause, as per pages 6 and 7 of the vaccine package insert for MMR-II. Panniculitis; atypical measles; fever; syncope; headache; dizziness; malaise; irritability. Cardiovascular System Vasculitis. Digestive System Pancreatitis; diarrhea; vomiting; parotitis; nausea. Endocrine System Diabetes mellitus. Hemic and Lymphatic System Thrombocytopenia (see WARNINGS, Thrombocytopenia); purpura; regional lymphadenopathy; leukocytosis. Immune System Anaphylaxis and anaphylactoid reactions have been reported as well as related phenomena such as angioneurotic edema (including peripheral or facial edema) and bronchial spasm in individuals with or without an allergic history. Musculoskeletal System Arthritis; arthralgia; myalgia. Arthralgia and/or arthritis (usually transient and rarely chronic), and polyneuritis are features of infection with wild-type rubella and vary in frequency and severity with age and sex, being greatest in adult females and least in prepubertal children. This type of involvement as well as myalgia and paresthesia, have also been reported following administration of MERUVAX II. Chronic arthritis has been associated with wild-type rubella infection and has been related to persistent virus and/or viral antigen isolated from body tissues. Only rarely have vaccine recipients developed chronic joint symptoms. Following vaccination in children, reactions in joints are uncommon and generally of brief duration. In women, incidence rates for arthritis and arthralgia are generally higher than those seen in children (children: 0-3%; women: 12-26%),{17,56,57} and the reactions tend to be more marked and of longer duration. Symptoms may persist for a matter of months or on rare occasions for years. In adolescent girls, the reactions appear to be intermediate in incidence between those seen in children and in adult women. Even in women older than 35 years, these reactions are generally well tolerated and rarely interfere with normal activities. Nervous System Encephalitis; encephalopathy; measles inclusion body encephalitis (MIBE) (see CONTRAINDICATIONS); subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE); Guillain-Barr Syndrome (GBS); acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM); transverse myelitis; febrile convulsions; afebrile convulsions or seizures; ataxia; polyneuritis; polyneuropathy; ocular palsies; paresthesia. Regardless the reason(s) for vaccine dictates, theres a new HHS/CDC mandate coming that everyoneirrespective of agemust be vaccinated with childrens booster shots! [15] How much do you think the cost of healthcare in the U.S. will increase as a result of that fiasco? Healthcare costs, I predict, probably will skirt 30% to 40% GDP very soon. We have to prevent that from happening. Why? There probably will be very few efficient and healthy workers available who will be able to make the country function as a viable nation and trading partner in the global economy. Oh, and by the way, none of the above has taken into consideration what impacts the Affordable Care Act of 2010aka ObamaCarewill have on everyones health and its care *, including U.S. healthcare costs and statistics. Since the ACAs implementation, its been a financial bust! The website costs alone exceed $2Billion! [12] As Jon T. Hall wrote at the American Thinker, Just to reiterate, Figures dont lie, but liars sure do figure, it seems.

2	She Is The Most Influential Country Female Artist Ever, What She Looks Like Today...WOW What would we do without Dolly Parton? I could not tell you. She has been in the music industry for almost sixty years and has continually released music through out. From her first album, Hello, Im Dolly to her latest, Blue Smoke Ive enjoyed her. Luckily so has everyone else. Dolly has countless awards including a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award from 2011. Yet, she does not seem to be slowing down one bit. She just released a movie titled, Coat of Many Colors. The movie was based on her song of the same name. With her age and list of accomplishments Dolly surely deserves retirement. She could hang up the towel and everyone would understand exactly why. Dolly has given so much to the country genre and to the world itself. The crazy thing about Dolly isnt her list of awards. It is the fact that she has openly said that she will be performing until the day her body tells her she cannot anymore. Having more of Dolly could never be considered a bad thing. Many of people have grown up with Dolly front and center and it doesnt look like it is changing. She has said that she would just not know what to do if she were to retire; shes not alone in that sense. No should be arguing for her retirement, her contributions are too numerous and her songs are too close to heart. Dolly is a true legend and everyone is excited to have her music and acting for years to come. Does she want more accolades or is she just an amazing person? 
3	Whats Really Behind US Claims of Russian Hacking?By Tony Cartalucci A community responsible for verified, self-serving lies, has no credibility. Nor do the media organizations that repeated those lies without questioning the very flawed factual and logical fundamentals underpinning them. More recently, the evidence presented by this community and their partners across the Western media regarding alleged Russian hacking of the 2016 US elections is so weak, the logical fallacy of appealing to authority is essential to selling it to the global public. The sinister tone of Russian hacking suggests that Moscow somehow subverted the 2016 US elections through the use of information technology. Headlines across the Western media like CNNs, US accuses Russia of trying to interfere with 2016 election, would help fan the flames of hysteria, claiming: The announcement marks the first time the US administration has officially accused Russia of hacking into US political systems. Earlier in the week, the two countries broke off formal talks about a ceasefire in Syria. We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russias senior-most officials could have authorized these activities, the Department of Homeland Security and Office of the Director of National Intelligence said in a joint statement. Claims of Russia hacking into US political systems invokes images of hackers based in the Kremlin using sophisticated cyber weapons to crack into voting machines, polling stations, and databases to skew election results. In reality, nothing of the sort happened based not on Russian statements but on the American intelligence communitys own official reports on the incident. The e-mails were then handed over to WikiLeaks before being released to the public. No polling stations were hacked, no databases compromised, and no influence exercised over US elections beyond whatever influence the truth about DNC internal communications had on the American public. The nature of e-mail leaks involve a technique known as spear phishing. It is a technique in which a hacker targets specific individuals with e-mails posing as an official organization or company, requesting the targeted individual to fill in their user name and password. Spear phishingis perhaps the most elementary tactic imaginable, and is more closely related to social engineering and confidence gaming (conning) than actual computer hacking. The US governments own Joint Analysis Report (PDF) based on analytic efforts between the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) would reveal precisely this. In a wordy summary, the report admits (emphasis added): In spring 2016, APT28 compromised the same political party, again via targeted spearphishing.This time, the spearphishing email tricked recipients into changing their passwords through a fake webmail domain hosted on APT28 operational infrastructure.Using the harvested credentials, APT28 was able to gain access and steal content, likely leading to the exfiltration of information from multiple senior party members. The U.S. Government assesses that information was leaked to the press and publicly disclosed. In other, simpler words, targeted individuals were approached via e-mail, were asked for their user names and passwords, andvoluntarilyhanded them over. The Joint Analysis Report attempts to use sophisticated technical jargon in hopes that causal readers believe the operation required equally sophisticated skills to perpetrate. However, the attacks could not have been any more elementary. IT experts fromWikiLeaks Julian Assangetoshow host Vin Armani have explained in depth just how elementary the e-mail hacks were, with the consensus being that a teenager with no resources beyond an Internet connection, basic knowledge of IT, and a desire to crack the DNCs e-mails could have carried out the attacks. Other US government reports, including one linked to by the New York Times titled, Background to Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections: The Analytic Process and Cyber Incident Attribution (PDF), seem to admit as much, focusing not on the technical details of the actual e-mail hacks, but rather linking the operation to Russia based solely on allegations of how Russia would have benefited from compromising DNC e-mails. Had the elementary e-mail hacks required state sponsored resources, would Russia have been willing to accept the political, economic, and military risks associated with sponsoring such an operation? The answer is likely no. In reality, regardless of who sits in the White House, US foreign policy is primarily dictated by unelected corporate-financier special interests. This explains why the US has exhibited treachery and subversive tendencies toward Russia for decades transcending US presidencies, and even entire eras of US politics. Banks, energy firms, and defense contractors have seen Russia as a competitor since World War II a competitor to undermine, overrun, buy-off, or otherwise isolate and eliminate. Skewing elections in favor of president-elect Donald Trump over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would have made little to no difference at all in this decades-long struggle between East and West. Understanding this, however, does much in explaining why the US is exploiting the DNCs compromised e-mails to blame Russia. It provides yet another opportunity to further justify attempts to encircle, contain, and ultimately overthrow the political, financial, military, and industrial order in Russia eliminating a significant obstacle to Wall Street and Washingtons ambitions toward global hegemony. Without being able to cite election hacking and other alleged threats Moscow poses to the West, the immense expenditure on military expansion particularly by the US in Eastern Europe would be inexcusable. Tony Cartalucci, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazineNew Eastern Outlook.,where this article first appeared. I remain optimistic on this INAUGURAL day. Tramp, sorry Trump, claimed that the elections were hacked to elect Clinton. After he won he said there was no hacking, now Trump claims there was hacking. NOTHING but total BULL DREN from both side total distractions. BTW: Trump will bring WW 3, that is what the 1% want Thats the trick of getting the public to routinely accept to diametrically opposed concepts; Orwellian double think. CIA supports Trump with the help of 9/11 Truth denier Assange (Wikileaks) according to Steve Pieczenik CFR Zio psychiatrist former head of intelligence psychological warfare division; new meme CIA opposes Trump. btw, imoWW3 would damage the infrastructure of TPTBs global gulag and undermine their control mechanisms. They have more precise ways to accomplish their enslavement paradigm via economic pain and selected depopulation (bioweapons, mandatory vaccinations, chemtrails, etc.) Agree with your logic train absofknlootley Cartalucci forgets (?) Obama just gave away control over the internet to the UN via ICANN with foreign nations, esp. China, already poised to take over management of the net and reap trillions in profit from data collectionas described in some detail by Elite mouthpiece Wall Street Journal. How does this jive with TPTB and US intelligence worried about hacking? Another false flag op. same-O, same-O !! 
3	Boston Bombing Suspects Foundation Connections - Another Strand in the Web of Global TerrorBrandon Turbeville Yet, the links between Chechen terrorists and their al-Qaeda counterparts are relatively well documented, even as far as the mainstream media accounts are capable of producing. Thus, the question for the general public should not revolve around potential links between the two terrorist factions, but around the more important issue of who al-Qaeda actually is. After all, if al-Qaeda functions as an umbrella organization for Islamic fundamentalist terrorists the world over, it is important to seek the true head of the overarching network, not merely the outlying tentacles that manifest themselves in various different locations across the globe. For that reason, it is first important to point out that Chechen rebels, much like their rebel cousins in Syria, are, in fact, receiving training, weapons, and financial support via the very networks that so vociferously claim to oppose them the United States and British governments. Indeed, in order to see the direct connection between the U.S. government and Chechen terrorism, one need only look toward the leader of the Chechen rebels, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chechen Republic Ichkeria, Ilyas Akhmadov, who resides internationally by bouncing back and forth between the United States and Britain all on the tab of the U.S. State Department since as far back as 2004. KMNews then asked, What about our partners in the anti-terrorist coalition? The agency then went on to cite the official expressions of support by then-President George W. Bush, Condoleezza Rice, and State Department spokesman Richard Boucher in order to acknowledge the seemingly bizarre hypocrisy of these officials as they prosecuted a war OF terror all across the globe. KMNews then tellingly explained the motivation behind the funding and support of Chechen terrorist networks. It stated, Yet Akhmadov was not the only separatist terrorist that was given asylum in the Western Anglo Zone. Akmad Zakayev and Aslan Mashkhadov (given asylum in London, England) were also granted protection by the U.S. and Britain in 2003. Zakayev is designated as the special representative of Mashkhadov. In addition, it is also widely known within European media, political, and intelligence circles that certain leaders of the Chechen terrorist networks are closely connected to the American CIA, if not agents outright. Shamil Basayev, described as the brutal Chechen field commander by Webster Tarpley, happens to be one of those individuals. It should be noted that Basayev was linked to the Beslan school massacre as well. Furthermore, as Webster Tarpley writes in his article, Russians Blast US-UK Sponsorship Of Chechen Terror, Tarpley continues by stating, Again, as Tarpley writes, To be clear, the Jamestown Foundation has released a response to the claims made by Izvestia in which it states that See a detailed commentary on Matthew Bryza provided by Sibel Edmonds Boiling Frogs Post here.

Furthermore, it must be mentioned that James R. Woolsey, former CIA Director and member of the Project For A New American Century, Committee on the Present Danger, Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, Center for Security Policy, and the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, has also served as vice-Chairman of the board of the Jamestown Foundation. Likewise, former Vice President Dick Cheney has also served on the board of the Jamestown Foundation as well as Marcia Carlucci, the wife of Frank Carlucci. In addition to the individual connections mentioned above, the inter-agency and inter-organizational connections between the Jamestown Foundation and what Tony Cartalucci of Land Destroyer Report refers to as Meddlers International is veiled by an increasingly transparent veil of direct funding by the United States Government and financial warfare managers like George Soros. In his report, BOMBSHELL: US Caught Meddling In Russian Elections, Cartalucci listed nine organizations that he considered to be a part of Meddlers International, meaning a Western-based network of destabilization campaigns and organizations aimed at overthrowing or otherwise influencing the elections, political climate, or even destruction of foreign states. The list included the National Endowment for Democracy, International Republican Institute, National Democratic Institute, Freedom House, Open Society Institute, International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), Reporters Without Borders (US Chapter), Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International (USA). Of these organizations, at least four of them receive funding directly from the National Endowment for Democracy (note that 1 is the NED itself) which is nothing more than a conduit for USAID (United States Agency For International Development) and the U.S. State Department. Thus, it is not mere hyperbole to suggest that the NED, IRI (International Republican Institute), NDI (National Democratic Institute for International Affairs), Freedom House, and RWB (Reporters Without Borders) are nothing more than covert branches of the U.S. government, specifically the U.S. State Department. In addition, The Jamestown Foundation, according to the Institute for Policy Studies, has become increasingly linked to neocon-driven institutions and leading figures, including the Center for Security Policy and Freedom House. The Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) further explains the connections between the Jamestown Foundation and Freedom House by stating, Among the authors of the institutes publications are Freedom Houses Nina Shea, the National Institute for Public Policys Keith Payne, the Hoover Institutes John Dunlop, the Heritage Institutions John Tkacik, American Enterprise Institutes Nicholas Eberstadt, Hudson Institutes Laurent Murawiec, and the Middle East Intelligence Bulletins former editor Gary Gambill. IPS continues in its description of the Jamestown Foundations publications by writing, IPS also demonstrates the method of propaganda pushed by the Jamestown Foundation against nations like Iraq and Syria, two countries which Jamestown Foundation authors have attempted to link the two through the terrorism of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

1	In the wake of his capture Monday, serial killer Eddie Lee Curtis is being recalled by neighbors as a serial killer. 'He was kind of a murderous, insane, serial-killer type of fellow,' said Will Rowell, 57, who lived next door to the man arrested for the murder of 14 nurses in Florida and Georgia. 'He sort of kept to himself, killing nurses, molesting their corpses and then burying the bodies in his backyard.' Neighbor Peggy Appleton agreed: 'I didn't know him that well, but he really seemed to hate nurses, the way he was always dismembering them with power tools. I guess you could say he fancied himself a serial killer.' 
2	Congress Eviscerates Obama For Releasing Gitmo Detainee That Promises To Kill More Americans Obama just released 10 detainees from Guantanamo Bay earlier today. One of these men happened to be a recruiter for Al Qaeda, and he it seems he isnt so happy with how hes been treated over the past decade. U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert, a Republican from Texas, brought to attention in the House a quote from the freed terrorist. When I get out of here, I will go to Iraq and Afghanistan and kill as many Americans as I can. Then I will come here and kill more Americans. In a time that we are dealing with an equally evil terrorist organization, putting this man back into the world in the last thing Obama should be doing. We are dumbfounded. Gohmert finishes his disproval with a clear observation: The release of a man who has said he wants to kill Americans and will after he is released should be taken at his word. Do you think that Congress should block Obama from releasing any more prisoners? 
2	Hillary Voting Hoodlum Attacks Bikini Clad Patriot When one thug came across a group of bikini-clad women sunbathing in the park, he made the unfortunate assumption that they were an easy target. As he attempted to rob the women, he had no idea that one of them was actually a police officer. What happened next is incredible. Mikaela Kellner, a veteran of Swedish Ninja Warrior and a police officer for more than a decade, was reportedly sunbathing with a group of friends in Stockholm park when a man approached them pretending to be selling magazines. Shortly after the man left, one of Kellners friends noticed her cell phone was missing. Thats when Kellner sprung into action, running after the man and quickly taking him down. He was arrested on the spot. I just acted on instinct and didnt think about it so much until after we had pinned him down, Kellner told local reporters. When I sat there I looked over at our other two friends who are not police officers and realized that it probably looked funny. A photograph of the woman in her bathing suit, kicking some serious butt has since gone viral. I would have stepped in no matter what my outfit, she commented. Had I been naked I would have also intervened. Nothing will stop me. Kellner also maintained that the pickpocket did not put up much of a fight. He realized quite quickly that it wasnt worth struggling, she laughed. 
3	The Persuasive Prepper: How to Convince Loved Ones to PrepareDaisy Luther This viewpoint, of course, makes it very difficult for you to talk with these loved ones and bring them over to the dark side of preparedness with you. Its painful to see people about whom you care, blithely going along, spending money frivolously, buying their groceries a couple of days at a time, and living in places that are totally unsustainable should disaster strike. Why People Wont Listen Its important to understand why your loved ones see the world through rose-colored glasses. While they are busy casting mental health disorder epithets your way, it is actually the people who refuse to accept reality who are suffering from a psychological phenomena called cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance (a phrase coined in the book When Prophecy Fails, by Dr. Leon Festinger) describes the mental discomfort that a person feels when faced with two diverse values the reality of a situation and the moral belief system of the person collide. When this occurs, the person must make alterations to one or the other in order to regain his equilibrium. According to Dr. Festinger theory, people engage in a process he termed dissonance reduction, which can be achieved in one of three ways: lowering the importance of one of the discordant factors, adding consonant elements, or changing one of the dissonant factors. This bias sheds light on otherwise puzzling, irrational, and even destructive behavior. (source) Breaking Them In Gently Many people find it easier to accept the likelihood of a weather-related disaster that might knock out the power for a few days to a week. You can easily provide recent examples, like Hurricane Katrina and Superstorm Sandy. For those in regions where events like this occur, you can often persuade your loved ones to stock in at least a two-week supply. Other regions are prone to ice storms, snow storms or earthquakes. This can be a gentle introduction to preparedness. Clearly, a two-week supply is not enough to weather a long-term disaster. However, you may be able to build on this base acceptance and begin to help your loved ones begin to extend their supplies. Another great tactic is promoting the economic logic behind a well-stocked pantry. Prices are only going up it doesnt take a prepper to see this. If you can convince someone of the investment value of a food supply, sometimes you can persuade them to prep without them even realizing that is what they are doing. Then, when that supply comes in handy during a disaster event or a personal period of economic hardship, you can gently reinforce the lesson. Sending gentle nudges via email is sometimes helpful, but inundating a non-prepper with preparedness advice will generally fall upon deaf ears. Repetition of preparedness concepts without the scare tactics can help break through the normalcy bias, but it is important to limit yourself within the tolerance level of the person with whom you are communicating. Remember, you do not want to be the Jehovahs Witness of preparedness, knocking on the door during dinnertime while the non-prepper pretends not to be home. Unfortunately, for the most part, you have to realize there isnt a lot you can do to convince others that preparing is vital. People have to come to their own realizations, just the way you did. You have to accept that constantly harping on preparedness will do nothing more than drive a wedge between you and those you love. What If They Wont Listen? As a prepper, you have to make a difficult decision. Are you going to prepare for a few extra people, adding supplies and making room for them when the SHTF? Or are you going to go about your preparedness business quietly, embracing OPSEC and building up your supplies with only your immediate family members in mind? Some people state that they have no compunction turning away unprepared family members when disaster strikes, because they spent years warning them to get ready. This is a choice that most preppers have to make, and there are no one size fits all answers. It is important to discuss this among the decision-makers of your household and present a unified front, which ever conclusion you reach. Have you been able to help friends and family see the writing on the wall? If so, how were you able to convince them that it was time to get ready? If not, are you preparing for extra people or are you planning on locking the doors? Daisy Luther is a freelance writer and editor.

2	News Anchor Gave Obama The Finger On Live TV So They Did THIS Recently, a Russian reporter made headlines after losing control and giving President Obama the finger on air. At the mention of Obamas name, the award-winning television journalist was so overcome with hatred that she raised her hand almost immediately with the gesture. It had the potential to be seen by nearly 120 million viewers across Russia. She lost her job shortly thereafter. According to sources at the network, the anchor believed she was off camera and was just doing a voiceover. The insult was not aimed at the president, but rather at the studio technicians who were teasing her earlier. What do you think? Watch the video below and tell us your thoughts. 
3	Rising Food Allergies Triggered by GMO Ingredients In 80% of Groceries?Are genetically modified foods connected to the rise of food allergies and digestive disorders? Since genetically modified foods hit the market in the 1990s, allergies have skyrocketed. Studies compiled by Jeffrey M. Smith, head of the Institute for Responsible Technology and author of Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods show that common GM ingredients in addition to synthetic chemical food additives [See 1, 2, 3] may be compromising the health of ordinary people in the United States and across the world. The video below discusses soy, but thats just one genetically modified ingredient found in the majority of foods on U.S. grocery store shelves. While simple food allergies have become more common or more intense over the past couple of decades, deadly reactions to wheat, corn and soy have prompted the need for major avoidance strategies for sufferers of Crohns Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Celiacs Disease, gluten intolerance, eczema, AH/HD and many more conditions with common underlying digestive and gastrointestinal triggers. Are genetically modified foods to blame? Consider the research including the 65 documented health risks of GMO compiled by Jeffrey M. Smithall while the FDA and biotech industry insist that GMO foods are safe and substantially equivalent to traditional foods made without genetic engineering.

3	U.S. Free Press Freezes About Italian Court Ruling That Vaccines Cause AutismBy Catherine J. Frompovich Well, there were at least two such autism rulings, the latest being in September 2014. Here is the 8-page official court document written in Italian, signed by Judge Nicola Di Leo. Mary Holland, JD, wrote an article about that ruling, which everyone at the HHS, CDC, FDA and all state and local health agencies should read, know about and, furthermore, accept because vaccines DO cause autism. The Italian court in Milan ruled against GlaxoSmithKline for damages caused by its hexavalent vaccine Infanrix Hexa, which is given to children during their first year of life. Several factors were considered by the court in coming to the decision it rendered. One important fact was that the vaccine at the time administered contained Thimerosal (49.6% ethylmercury) in concentrations greatly exceeding the maximum recommended levels for infants weighing only a few kilograms. In Italy, Thimerosal has since been banned due to its neurotoxicity. It still is present in many vaccines in the USA. The other apparently incriminating factor(s) came from the 1271-page GlaxoSmithKline report Confidential to Regulatory Authorities, which GSK had to present to the Italian court. That document has since been posted online here, which I encourage readers to take the time to scan, especially the last 50 or so pages. Take note that a comprehensive listing of Adverse Events from Infanrix Hexa starts on pages 1129-30. On page 626, though, we see Autism listed two times for a total of 6 adverse events. Apparently, they did know! In June of 2012, another court in Rimini, Italy, ruled that the MMR vaccine caused autism in a 15-month- old boy. The UK newspaper Daily Mail, however, did report on that ruling. Isnt that an obvious legal vindication of Dr. Andrew Wakefields hypothesis about the MMR vaccine? The rather depressing, but interesting, aspect of both Italian court rulings is that their remarkable adjudications did not seem important enough to be reported byor inthe supposed free press of the United States of America! So, how can anyone in the USA believe the apparent fairytales communicated about vaccines by the non-transparent and obviously controlled media, if they dont report all the facts, all the time? However, in September of 2013, Natural News online reported something interesting at the U.S. Vaccine Court: Of particular note in the case is the fact that concession documents by the government remain under seal. While the court and the government at large openly admitted that the MMR vaccine caused Ryans encephalitis, it did not make public its opinion on whether or not that encephalitis led to Ryans other injuries, including those that fall into the category of ASD. But the fact that these documents remain censored shows that the government is hiding something of importance from the public, which most definitely has to do with the connection between the MMR vaccine and autism. [1] [CJF emphasis added] The Huffington Post online reported in January of 2013 that the U.S. Vaccine Court Awards Millions to Two Children With Autism. Why would the CDC, FDA, and health authorities say that vaccines dont cause autism? Something is categorically wrong when they dont acknowledge the Vaccine Courts decisions, plus claims payouts for autism resulting from vaccine adverse events. What kind of double-speak goes on regarding vaccines in federal health agencies? Congress needs to investigate that. See this rather nut-case-like repartee that took place at a Congressional hearing between Senator Elizabeth Warren [D-MA] and Anne Schuchat, MD, Director of National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the CDC. [2] Their script sounds more like something old-time comedians Laurel and Hardy would have concocted. Shouldnt Dr. Schuchat know better than to lie under oath in testimony before a member of Congress? Should Dr. Schuchat be prosecuted for perjury? Arent lies made in congressional hearings Contempt of Congress? that will get you 6 months in jail. Probably Dr. Schuchat has the same sort of truth exemption status as did the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, who apparently lied under oath to Congress, or former CIA director Michael Hayden, [3] who apparently lied about torture. How come there seems to be a double standard of law and ethics within federal agencies? Furthermore, numerous times vaccine-associated-autism HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED SCIENTIFICALLY, but collusion occurred to keep it from healthcare consumers. Causal links between vaccines have been identified in the past by CDC epidemiologists and researchers, viz.: the Simpsonwood Meeting in June of 2000a clandestine meeting to figure out what to do with the Verstraeten study that showed the link between Thimerosal (ethylmercury) in vaccines and autism. Then, as recently as 2014, William Thompson, PhD, blew the whistle on how he fudged vaccine study papers regarding the link between vaccines and autism. Additionally, on page 5 of the HHS Health Resources and Service Administration National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program Statistics Report, we find for the MMR vaccine there were 890 injuries/adverse events and 57 deaths reported with only 367 compensated claims and 502 that were dismissed without compensation for damages, proving vaccines are not safe! In other countries such as Italy, vaccine-damaged vaccinees have much more equitable recourses at law than those who are damaged by vaccines in the United States. Congress needs to change that 1986 law, since vaccines really do cause autism, as the Italian court adjudicated and the U.S. Vaccine Court knows and paid claims for. And lastly, readers and members of Congress ought to know that Bill Gates Faces Trial in India For Illegally Testing Tribal Children With Vaccines [CJF emphasis added] (Source) Vaccine crimes everywhere, especially at the CDC and FDA, must stopand Congress must do a thorough and independent investigation of an apparent agenda between Big Pharmas pseudoscience cappers they are permitted pull off and the terrible damage being done to human health.

Hope you reconsider your retirement from writing, at least temporarily to keep us informed on the raging vaccine wars underway. We might just win this one and wake up a lot more people. I consider a syringe with a vaccine a loaded weapon, I have the right to defend myself when someone is trying to kill me. The International Corporate Cabal will send representatives of ISIS to Rome to have a heart-to-heart with the judges. Perhaps one of their newly-recruited Hitler Youth? The Italian court ruling doesnt fit the propaganda narrative of the psychopaths in government.. so they have ordered the US prestitutes not to report it! Apparently those in the Italian Government arent Whores to Pharmika like their American counterparts. If you disagree with PLANS TO VACCINATE ALL ADULTS SPEAK up to INFORM the government so that evidence based facts about harm from vaccines cannot be denied or ignored.

Gun stores remain open. This nation, or should I say the regime doesnt care about your thoughts, desires, petitions, phone calls or letters. If it doesnt somehow promote the criminals in power or the system they have established they completely ignore it. In their mind you are cattle. Since when would they care about cattle. We have allowed ourselves to become so overwhelmed with their lies and propaganda of what america is and how we compare to the world it is just like North Korea, and unfortunately we are buying it. This is how the brainwashing works. When courts make medical decisions, we have entered a period when science is trumped by politics. The vaccine in questions (not vaccines) uses Thimerosal , which has been linked to autism. Thimerosol is not used in MMR vaccines and most others. The headline is a lie: the Court did not rule that Vaccines cause autism but rather that a particular vaccine, which uses mercury as preservative, is linked to autism. Thimerosol has been excluded from childhood vaccines in the US since 2001 and in many cases from adult vaccines. There is zero evidence that vaccines cause autism but some studies have suggested that Thimersol does. Anyone who confuses vaccines with a potentially dangerous preservative is being unscientific or dishonest. MMR vaccines have never contained Thimersol and there is no evidence they have produced autism. A study from the 90s has been thoroughly discredited by respected scientific studies and the person responsible has lost his professional status. The journal in which the orgiinal study was published has retracted it corrected the record. Believers will claim tht all doctors, medical researchers, medical journals etc are all sold out. This opens the question: where is the evidence? and if we cannot trust medical scientists, whom should we trust? Science operates in a way so that if a fake claim is made, hundreds of young scientists can make their reputations by exposing it. Thus science, which at times has been perverted by politics (for instance allowing courts to make medical decisions) is self-correcting since there is the great incentive for younger scientists to establish themselves by exposing bad science. There is no Central Committee in Science, no Supreme Court: science evolves through the democratic process of peer review and the eternal quest to debunk established theories and assumptions. No other intellectual discipline is more open to self-correction or change than modern science. i would leave scientists themselves to make medical conclusions and avoid having courts or other political institutions from meddling. This article leads with a lie..there is no evidence that vaccines cause autism and the court did not make this ruling. The danger is in the mercury preservative, which is not essential to the vaccine and so cannot be conflated with the vaccine. Other than flu shots, very few vaccines (and no childhood vaccines) contain this potentially harmful substance. Are you a paid troll? Are you are computer program designed to surf the web and regurgitate script so as to look and sound Scientific. Are you a Copy Paste person, who simply accepts what you are told in class, reads from textbooks, and consumes from authorities on high? Are you a child molester? Very well said. The idiot ruff is well known as a paid shill, probably for the Chicago thug/political machine that spawned the illegal alien in the WH. It gets paid by the response so will say anything to provoke an answer. Starve the idiot. Retard Actually I am a gifted student who shares what he has learned. your personal insult reflects only on your own lack of moral character and intellectual vapidity. When all else fails, as it clearly has with you, hurl vulgar insults. That is a wonderful legacy. You remind me of the Dr Smith character from the old Lost In Space Series Its not as though Thimerosal is the only questionable ingredient. Thats a red herring. Ok, somehow disprove the mercury as the culprit and the entire argument disappears? Not so fast. Theres a lot more than just Thimerosal causing problems. Thimerosal is one of many. So get rid of the mercury and what else is it that is an issue? There is zero evidence that vaccines of themselves cause evidence: none. Thimerosal IS the questionable ingredient, as many studies have proven. Isolating the dangerous element is hardly a red herring. If you have evidence to the contrary, please present it. There is zero evidence that vaccines of themselves cause evidence: none What the hell is that supposed to mean? Scientists have pushed back the emergence of homo sapiens 700k years. During that period of time our immune systems have evolved to keep us alive as a species as opposed to the number of living creatures that went extinct during the same period of time. 50 years of vaccines are a blip against 700k. Vaccines circumvent the first two of three major parts of our immune system while activating one out of seventeen sub-systems currently identified. Thats one reason you have to get boosters; without engaging the entire system you dont get lifelong immunity. Clean water, better sanitation and proper food prep/storage reduced the effect of these illnesses before vaccines came into play. Herbicides weeds adapted. Pesticides bugs adapted. Antibiotics germs adapted. Vaccines its not rocket science here, figure it out. When they finally woke up to the dangers of injecting mercury into newborns and toddlers in 1999, they replaced it with aluminum. Aluminum is possibly even a more potent neurotoxin than mercury and is in levels 50 times higher than what is considered safe. Ethyl mercury is formed when the body breaks down thimerosal. In the blood it is rapidly converted by the liver and kidneys to a less harmful form, inorganic mercury. The rate in which the body does this is 5x faster than its chemical related cousion Methyl mercury. It is excreted in the stool. It has a half-life of around 7-10 days and doesnt bioaccumulate. The amount in a vaccine is many times less that which could cause harm. Methyl mercury is naturally found in the enviroment, in soil, water and some foods. It causes harm and has never been added to vaccines. Its easily absorbed through the gut and once in the blood is slowly converted by the liver and kidneys. It binds to proteins and it stores in the fat, the nerves and the brain. It has a half-life of around 50 days and bioaccumulates. It can be found in many types of seafoods. If you eat them too often it could harm you and cause certain effects, like neurological damage Is this Dale Ruff as found on the Disqus Profile? Disgusted, yes is the same undefeated, unafraid and forever a student. Why people should ignore someone, per your ad hominem, who has devoted his life to learning tells more about you than me. I suggest that you remain Disgusted. But it is YOU who throws the ad hominem stuff, oh learned, enlightened one of the OWO mentality. I shared real information on fake science with sources. You have contributed nothing but tried to silence me. You have failed. As a scientist we used to call sales pitch science the worst science money can buy As a scientist I can tell the world that there are a lot of very large companies that both industry and government hire to cook the science, to make it more friendly to whatever the buyer is selling usually to the public as scientific proof with a lot of peer reviews fraud to back it all up with. You sound more like a salesman than a scientist to me. Selling science as something written in stone by the holiest of the white lab coats. Universities have been selling that same old crap for years. The simple truth is that there is a lot of really bad science out there being supported by the NOT SO respectable corporations of the world. There are plenty of Universities on the corporate dole playing ball as well. There is also a lot of science running amok as I write this. You have a lot to learn about how the world REALLY works if you think the courts mixes science and politics. Science and politics is ALREADY deeply mixed through investment portfolios See http://www.cafr1.com for documentation. Big pharma is the governments largest stock holder. hem, hem. Courts are set up (as an attempt) to keep science honest through something called due process and discovery. Vaccines clearly cause Autism since Autism is just another word for neurological disorder. Most vaccine inserts will tell ANYONE willing to read them that many vaccines can cause neurological disorders Courts of law with juries also do a really good job of keeping public records of things like vaccine damage / injury and death where our current medical system is absolutely failing at doing so. What is your scientific background that makes you an expert on the politics of science. Vaccines do not cause autism, tho there is some evidence that mercury preservatives may. These preservatives have never been used in MMR vaccines and no childhood vaccines have had the since 2001. Courts do not keep science honest; courts make political decisions, as in the old Soviet Union. Scientists keep science honest by challenging assumptions and seeking to confirm or refute reported results. Young scientists especially can make their careers by finding errors or flaws in established research. This is the method of democratic peer-review, which has made science the powerful instrument of human knowledge that it is. Courts can only pervert this process, since they are not scientific but political institutions. When courts make medical decisions, its time for doctors and researchers to make judicial decisions. When courts make medical decisions, science has been contaminated and become a tool of politics. I reject your argument vehemently as a corruption of scientific method which has nothing to do with courts and everything to do with scientific methodology. When courts disagree with the vast consensus of expert scientists I will stick with the science and you may embrace this perversion of science. You sure ask for a lot of proof. Where is your PROOF vaccines do NOT cause autism? Which adjutants / preservatives are YOU saying are NOT in the MMR OR MMRII vaccine? List them. The legal system is SUPPOSED to be in place to keep bad or corrupt science from harming the general public. I know, your STOCK just may take a hit. You know were not talking about putting science itself on trial the aim is to keep large pharma corps and all their affiliates in check. Right now the CDC is embroiled in a lawsuit where theyre own people have the documentation where the CDC KNOWINGLY covered up EVIDENCE of linking the MMR vaccine to Autism. Their was sufficient evidence determined by a federal judge (an agent of the defendant CDC) to move the case before a congressional hearing. The 2012 vindication of Dr. Wakefield via the vindication of Dr. Smith et al in the UKs high court of law. The court ruled that OVERWHELMING evidence PROVED that Brian Deer NOT Dr. Wakefield / Smith et al had produced FRAUD on the GMC (general medical council) The tragedy in all of this is that the LEGITIMATE RESEARCH on the MMR vaccine was NOT continued which would have saved countless lives from suffering. Whats also interestingly that came out in the discovery process is that links between Brian Deer and GlaxoSmithKline demonstrated MOTIVE by Brian Deer to fabricate his story to the GMC. If it wasnt for due process and discovery what would we NOT have discovered about Bayer Pharmaceutical Factor VIII and IX a.) to cut costs Bayer harvested blood from pools of high risk individuals. b.) Resulting in the spread of HIV to completely innocent people. Speaking of GlaxoSmithKline Documented evidence demonstrated that GlaxoSmithKline paying kickbacks to physicians, making false and misleading statements concerning the safety of Avandia, OH I CANT WAIT TO GET ALL THESE VACCINE MANUFACTURING CHARACTERS BEFORE A REAL COURT OF LAW CONCERNING VACCINES. YA THINK WE JUST MIGHT FIND MISLEADING STATEMENTS AND KICKBACKS TO PHYSICIANS GALORE WITH THESE DAMN VACCINES? I do. The list goes on and on You must be a complete fascist to be blurring the lines between protecting large pharmaceutical companies and protecting HONEST science. How Wall Street has literally BOUGHT you Thank you for that I will pass it on. Another good book EVERY med student should be required to read is The Drug Story Revised edition. Its much more relevant today than when it was revised in the 1940s You stated Vaccines clearly cause autism so that obligates you to support that claim with evidence. The only study which claimed that MMR caused autism has been throroughly discredited, with the author being paid to produce fake science and his 12 co authors and the journal which published it all having denounced Wakefield as a fraud. If I cite medical research, your closed mind (based on your statement vaccines clearly cause autism) will then claim that all medical research is fraudulent and paid for by the pharmaceutical corporations. So I will just say, if you assert that vaccines (you do not distinguish.I hold that the mercury preservative may well cause autism, but it has never been used in MMR and has not been used in any childhood vaccines since 2001) CLEARLY cause autism, you are open to any evidence, research, or facts to the contrary. As for my being a fascist, that is just a vicious insult substituting for rational discourse and masking your inability to provide any scientific evidence for your claim. I have been an anti-fascist for over 55 yrs, not only talking the talk but walking the walk, participating in the Civil Rights Movement, and various anti-war movements. I have studied fascism all my life and I understand it is the merging of the interests of the state and the corporations. I understand that the drug companies have often been guilty of deceptions, but I reject the claim that the medical research which finds NO link between MMR and other vaccines which do not contain mercury clearly cause autism. If you reject all medical research, I would ask: then whom do you trust? The only medical researcher I am aware of who did fraudulent research was the now disgraced Wakefield, who took money and had a vested interest in a rival vaccine to manipulate data to prove that MMR causes autism. Clearly, there are medical researchers who lie, and his co workers, his publisher, and many other medical researchers have all proven that he published fraudulent research. So if you make the claim that vaccines clearly cause autism, you are obligated, since this contradicts all the credible peer-reviewed studies, to provide your evidence and your source. If you want sources for the refutation of the Wakefield fake science, just google it. If you want information on the disgrace of Wakefield, Wikipedia has an excellent article, with primary sources. Your personal insult (calling me a fascist) is a demonstration of your inability to defend your position and resorting to gutter sniping to hide that fact. Again NO Proof just hot air. If you want to know about the vindication of Wakefield just, AS YOU SAY, Google it. http://justthevax.blogspot.com/2014/03/75-studies-that-show-no-link-between.html Friday, March 7, 2014 75 studies that show no link between vaccines and autism UPDATED to 107 Edited to fix links and to add more studies for a new total of 107 on 11 March 2014 Now where is YOUR evidence? Unfortunately your so-called Autism / Vaccine studies are ALL rife with corruption, conflict of interest that in this day and age are essentially highly suspect at best. JUST THE FACTS NON existent Vaccine safety studies are like getting a used car inspection report from a pack of used car salesman. Cover-up Scandal: CDCs Vaccine Research Exposed as Flawed and Falsified http://healthimpactnews.com/2014/cover-up-scandal-cdcs-vaccine-research-exposed-as-flawed-and-falsified/#sthash.w0QUI3hY.dpuf CDCs Vaccine Safety Research is Exposed as Flawed and Falsified in Peer-Reviewed Scientific Journal Medical research proven to be mostly flawed Peer review: a flawed process at the heart of science and journals and it goes on and on and on. Naw, its just an ignorant troll. I like ignorant trolls because I can use them like a cheap whore (politician?) to get information out that some people may not be aware of and can easily look up themselves. It is NOT just the mercury. True, the MMR does not contain thimerosol. But it has been linked with financial payout for it to, e.g., ADEM Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis. I.e., brain damage. Plus, it contains glutamic acid (as a stabilizer of its live viruses), which has the unfortunate property of lowering the bodys levels of glutathione, a substance which helps the body excrete heavy metals/toxins. Thus, if the MMR is given at the same time as vaccines which contain the likes of mercury and aluminum, and other toxins, it will tend to cause the childs body not to be able to excrete those toxins. Plus, the MMR measles strain has been found in the damaged guts of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. As Wakefield others have uncovered, the damaged guts, with their leaking peptides, and getting into the brain (with a compromised b-bb), are a major cause of their symptoms repair the damaged gut, and the ASD symptoms disappear. To say that the MMR has nothing to do with autism or other brain-damage conditions is irresponsible and untruthful. ADEM is very rare, 8 per 1 million, with a 5% death rate. It can be caused by measles, but the fake science which claims that MMR is responsible has been discredited. Wakefield has been exposed as a fraud. Andrew Jeremy Wakefield (born c. 1957) is a British former surgeon and medical researcher, known for his fraudulent 1998 research paper in support of the now-discredited claim that there is a link between the administration of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, and the appearance of autism and bowel disease.[1][2][3][4][5] After the publication of the paper, other researchers were unable to reproduce Wakefields findings or confirm his hypothesis of an association between the MMR vaccine and autism,[6] or autism and gastrointestinal disease.[7] A 2004 investigation by Sunday Times reporter Brian Deer identified undisclosed financial conflicts of interest on Wakefields part,[8] and most of his co-authors then withdrew their support for the studys interpretations Wikipedia with primary sources. You are a victim of fake science. Please tell us what the goal of Wakefields research was if you dont mind. Include links to actual facts, not opinions please. You can find a report in Wikipedia, with primary sources at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMR_vaccine_controversy Here is a highlight: Brian Deer wrote in The Sunday Times of London that, prior to submitting his paper to The Lancet, Wakefield had received 55,000 from Legal Aid Board solicitors seeking evidence to use against vaccine manufacturers, that several of the parents quoted as saying that MMR had damaged their children were also litigants, and that Wakefield did not inform colleagues or medical authorities of the conflict of interest. When the editors of The Lancet learned about this, they said that based on Deers evidence, Wakefields paper should have never been published because its findings were entirely flawed.[2] Although Wakefield maintained that the legal aid funding was for a separate, unpublished study[64] (a position later rejected by a panel of the UK General Medical Council), the editors of The Lancet judged that the funding source should have been disclosed to them.[65] Richard Horton, the editor-in-chief, wrote, It seems obvious now that had we appreciated the full context in which the work reported in the 1998 Lancet paper by Wakefield and colleagues was done, publication would not have taken place in the way that it did.[66] Several of Dr. Wakefields co-researchers also strongly criticized the lack of disclosure.[2] Deer continued his reporting in a Channel 4 Dispatches television documentary, MMR: What They Didnt Tell You, broadcast on 18 November 2004. This documentary alleged that Wakefield had applied for patents on a vaccine that was a rival of the MMR vaccine, and that he knew of test results from his own laboratory at the Royal Free Hospital that contradicted his claims.[3] Wakefields patent application was also noted in the 2008 book Autisms False Prophets by Paul Offit. In January 2005, Wakefield sued Channel 4, 20/20 Productions, and the investigative reporter Brian Deer, who presented the Dispatches programme. However, after two years of litigation, and the revelation of more than 400,000 in undisclosed payments by lawyers to Wakefield, he discontinued his action and paid all the defendants costs. In 2006, Deer reported in The Sunday Times that Wakefield had been paid 435,643, plus expenses, by British trial lawyers attempting to prove that the vaccine was dangerous, with the undisclosed payments beginning two years before the Lancet papers publication The motive was money. The results of his fraudulent research was a decrease in vaccinations and an increase in measles related diseases (blindness, brain diseases) and deaths. In March 2004, immediately following the news of the conflict of interest allegations, ten of Wakefields 12 coauthors retracted this interpretation, On 8 February 2009, Brian Deer reported in The Sunday Times that Wakefield had fixed results and manipulated patient data in his 1998 paper, creating the appearance of a link with autism.[4] Wakefield denied these allegations,[70] and even filed a complaint with the Press Complaints Commission (PCC)[71] over this article on 13 March 2009. The complaint was expanded by a 20 March 2009 addendum by Wakefields publicist.[72] In July 2009, the PCC stated that it was staying any investigation regarding the Times article, pending the conclusion of the GMC investigation.[73] In the event, Wakefield did not pursue his complaint. The medical profession, the journal which originally published his research, and his co-authors have all renounced his work as fraudulent. When Wakefield discontinued his suit against Deer and paid the defendants, it was clear to all that he had no case and knew it. People ignorant of his disgrace and conflict of interest continue to promote his fake science. Wikipedia is not an objective or reliable reference source. If youve ever been to college youd know how to cite a verifiable reference. I have heard this excuse a hundred times from uneducated fools like you. In fact, Wikipedia, in many studies, rates very highly, comparable to the gold standard Encyclopedia Britannica, and rated very highly in medical specialties like oncology etc. The peer-reviewed journal Nature has done an analysis and found it very reliable. The reason is simple Wikipedia uses extensive primary sources, and when none is available, it highlights that lack so the reader knows how reliable the information is. For example, the article on Wakefields fraudulent research is backed up by 1 full length book 8 Wakefield journal articles which have either been withdrawn or retracted and 130 primary sources. If you had a brain you would learn a lot by consulting Wikipedia and when in doubt, checking out the primary sources by which it backs up its articles. Here is a report to demonstrate the general reliability of Wikipedia: The free online resource Wikipedia is about as accurate on science as the Encyclopedia Britannica, a study shows. The British journal Nature examined a range of scientific entries on both works of reference and found few differences in accuracy. It relies on 13,000 volunteer contributors, many of whom are experts in a particular field, t o edit previously submitted articles. In order to test its reliability, Nature conducted a peer review of scientific entries on Wikipedia and the well-established Encyclopedia Britannica. The reviewers were asked to check for errors, but were not told about the source of the information. Only eight serious errors, such as misinterpretations of important concepts, were detected in the pairs of articles reviewed, four from each encyclopedia, reported Nature http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4530930.stm Nature is an international weekly journal of science with original groundbreaking research spanning all of the scientific disciplines (which) publishes peer-reviewed research. I graduated PBK from the finest public university in the world (UC Berkeley, 5th rates in terms of graduates and faculty with Nobel Prizes, the highest among any public universities) and earned a fellowship to Harvard Graduate School of Government. Harvard is the top rate university in the entire world based on graduates and faculty with Nobel Prizes, a common way of ranking the excellence of both faculty and students. I earned an MFA from Claremont Graduate School, one of the top ranked small private universities. I dare say that your claim to have a superior education to mine is pure bullshit and that you know it. You have exposed yourself as an uneducated fool. If Wikipedia is comparable to the gold standard Encyclopedia Britannica then why did ALL of my college professors explicitly instruct all STUDENTS (myself included) NOT to utilize Wikipedia as a source? If any of us used Wikipedia as a source, we were dinged harshly a full grade to be exact. Sorry, Wikipedia is suspect, at best. Well-intended individuals who favor veracity and integrity will use vetted sources that cannot be changed by the public-at-large (Wikipedia is notorious for having their materials besmirched on a routine basis). Wikipedia is an easy source used by indolent individuals unwilling to take the time to conduct their own due diligence. Its another reason why people in this nation are dumbed down, uninformed and docile sheeple awaiting the slaughter If you read my above posts on Wikipedia , you will find your answer. Your professors use Wikipedia. What they fear is that you will use it as a primary source, rather than as a guide to primary sources. For example, as I pointed out above, the Wiki article on the Wakefield scandal regarding MMR and autism cites 130 sources. No one can criticize you for using primary sources, as this is the gold standard of good research. As for anyone being able to manipulate Wikipedia content, I challenge you to stop believing lies and start investigating for yourself. Go in and try to insert a lie into the Wakefield article. The process is far different than you have been told. Your must provide evidence, and your claims are vetted. None of your professors has done peer-reviewed research on the accuracy of Wikipedia, but several studies have confirmed its reliability. Nature, a peer reviewed publication, found no more errors in Wikipedia than the Brittanica. reported this but you have failed to read my documented case for Wiki. Wikipedia is used by professionals worldwide. Your professors use it, and if you ignore their strictures, you will have the same access to primary sources as they do. That may explainnwhy they dont want Wikipedia is reliable because it uses primary sources, and when they are not available, it highlights the lack. I was once an editor for the Encyclopedia of Social Science, which was a collection of articles by experts with none of the safeguards built into Wikipedia. I urge you to question your professors (they will get defensive) on Wikipedia , citing the studies which demonstrate its reliability, and asking why, since doctors, engineers, etc use it, it cannot be used as a source of primary sources. People are dumbed down not by Wikipedia but by accepting without question the commands of authorities like your professors and because they refuse to investigate for themselves. Copy paste idiot! Cant you think for yourself? No wonder you have 0 credibility. A troll that copy and pastes its statements without any rational thought is a waste of skin. You are exposing your lack of education, LasGasp. Scholars, journalists, and other in the knowledge industry use quotations (which are the same whether hand written or copied and pasted) in order to convey information. Direct quotation is the hallmark of serious scholarship, as it avoids the distortions of paraphrasing or just releasing opinion. If you have ever read a scholarly book on politics or history, you will have noticed a strong dose of quotations to provide evidence, historical context, and expert opinion. It is not possible to do as pre-digital scholars did when they wrote down this informationtoday, we cut and paste, which is the intellectually honest way to present information, 99% of which we get from others. Those who can think for themselves do so by reading and learning from others then present what they have learned in context, using direct quotations to present an honest transmission of knowledge. If you had any education, you would know this and demonstrate it in your own posts. You have hidden from the information I have quoting regarding the exposure of Dr. Wakefield as a fraud by asserting that by quoting the information, somehow I have surrendered rational thought. The information has nothing to do with my thought but refutes the faith that those who use Wakefields expose fake science. If you had even a little education and a small ability to think rationally, you would digest the information which exposes your own false opinions. How sad that you consider honest quotation of relevant information a flaw! No wonder you wallow in ignorance and respond to new information with defensive and absurdly irrelevant criticisms of a practice which is actually a marker of intellectual honesty. I dare say I have quite a bit more education, school and life experience , than you do. If youre going to copy and paste a quote you cite the source, fool. You cite your reference in a manner that can easily be verified, fool. you are so full of yourself it just cracks me up. Do you have any friends? A dog even? or do you just spend all day bloviating? The Courts say youre wrong on Wakefield But it is expected of trolls to quote OLD NEWS while ignorring the new. Just like retractions to front page items put on page 15; not to inform the public so much as a defense against critics. So hows your system work? You get paid by the word or what? Thimerosol has been excluded from childhood vaccines in the US since 2001 and in many cases from adult vaccines. Biggest medical lie of all. There is absolutely no documentation that confirms that thimerosal has been removed from any vaccine. Removal of thimerosal was and is VOLUNTARY. Which means-if they dont want to they dont have too. It was never mandated. PLUS, there is no oversight on the matter. No government agency checks on big pharma. Dont ask, dont tell. If big pharm wants to provide documentation that they have removed thimerosal -they can but no one asks. Documentation is voluntary. Read this email exchange between a parent trying to get confirmation from the FDA CDC that thimerosal has been removed:http://www.ageofautism (dot) com/2007/12/emails-from-cdc.html. MMR vaccines have never contained Thimersol and there is no evidence they have produced autism Why, because its a live virus vaccine? The Pertussis vaccine is a live virus vaccine and it contains thimerosal. But than again, the issue in not the Pertussis vaccine, it is the MMR. The vaccine makers ARE NOT required to provide an ingredient list to the public. Thats also voluntary. If certain ingredients are labeled proprietary- or trade secret it will never be revealed. At the conference discussing the: Scientific Review of Vaccine Safety Datalink Information June 7-8, 2000, removal of thimerosal was discussed (and also disclosed was one scientist stated his grandson would not receive any vaccines until the autism/neurological damage matter was resolved) but never confirmed by the 52 scientist who represent every government agency as well as vaccine makers. It definitely was confirmed they would not remove thimerosal from vaccines going to foreign countries nor would they remove thimerosal from their current vaccine stock. At least it youre going to comment on a study, know the study and the name of the researcher. The researchers name is Dr. Wakefield. It was not a study, it was a REPORT. p1. Thimerosol need not be proved to have been removed from vaccines where it was never used. . I you have evidence to the contrary, please present and document it. Accusations made without evidence can be dismissed out of hand. Dr. Wakefield has long been discredited as a quack and lost his professional status. I suggest you read up on why he was discredited and even abandoned by those who worked with him. Vaccine Researcher Dr. Andrew Wakefield Set For Full Exoneration, Sues British Medical Journalhttp://stateofthenation2012.com/?p=11698 What do you know of science? Are you an epidemiologist? A biochemist? Even someone who just knows how to add two and two would realize that VACCINES DO CAUSE NEUROLOGICAL PROBLEMS IN CHILDREN. THE ARTICLE JUST PROVED IT, MORON. You are asking a fake question, LastGasp. The real question is that if, like 99.9% of the people, you are not an expert in a given field, whom should you consult. As a person with a world class education, I would consult those with the most knowledge. The article above promotes common fake science claims. I suggest you check the following link http://justthevax.blogspot.com/2014/03/75-studies-that-show-no-link-between.html which publishes: Friday, March 7, 2014 75 studies that show no link between vaccines and autism UPDATED to 107 Edited to fix links and to add more studies for a new total of 107 on 11 March 2014 Take a look and then check out the Wikipedia article (with primary sources) on the disgrace of former Dr. Wakefield, who was found to be taking money to produce fake science claiming the MMR vaccine causes autism. His 12 co-authors and his publisher all denounced him and called hiim a fraud. He sued the investigative journalist who first exposed his conflicts of interest (he has equity in a rival vaccine company and took money to falsify his research) but ended up withdrawing his claim and paying the defendants expenses. His discredited research or 107 peer-reviewed studies which show no links between MMR and autism? A disgraced fraud or hundreds of legitimate medical researchers. Whom are you going to believe? I, as an educated non-expert, will stick with the hundreds of scientists who have demonstrated that there is NO link between MMR and autism. You dont have to be a diesel mechanic to know that if you need information on a diesel engine, you should consult a diesel mechanic or engineer. Do you? As for your pathetic lies about me being a paid shill, I take that as an admission of defeat on your part. If you cant refute the overwhelming evidence, make dishonest accusations to save face. People like you who lie think everyone lies. That is how you justify to yourself saying things for which you have zero evidence. I suggest you come to terms with your moral and intellectual failings and stop lying to mask your own shortcomings by making absurd and false accusations about those who are better informed. NOw check out the link and look up the sad disgrace of former Dr. Wakefield.and then adjust your thinking to the evidence. Its your choice. GD LIARS, tell us why the Amish have no diseases or deaths or Autism? they do not vaccinate and their children are healther than ever. while our children who are vaccinated before they are allowed to leave the hospital are sick all the time, Autism is at an all time high with the introduction of massive amounts of vaccines required today, see for yourself, we went from a required 16 doses in a childs lifetime to a staggering 69 doses, just try and explain that also, A preliminary study by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) found children who received the HiB vaccine were found to be 5 times more likely to contract the disease than children who had not received the vaccine. also, why are there countless lawsuits against the vaccine industry resulting in over 3 billion paid out to plaintiffs, you still think vaccines are so safe: also, its been proven over and over vaccines do not work: http://vactruth.com/vaccines-and-mortality-rates/ http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/health-care/item/20173-vaccine-vs-virus-which-is-the-bigger-threat?utm_source=Newsletterutm_campaign=768301bb84-The_Editors_Top_Picks_3_12_143_12_2014utm_medium=emailutm_term=0_8ca494f2d2-768301bb84-289763249 Anecdotal Amish-dont-vaccinate claims disproved by fact-based study http://blogs.plos.org/thepanicvirus/2011/06/28/anecdotal-amish-dont-vaccinate-claims-disproved-by-fact-based-study/ I am happy to see that somebody finally recognizes mercury is a poison and should not be injected into humans. How can we have a vaccine court in the fed govt paying over 3 BILLION so far for PROVEN vaccine damages. Anyone arguing that is an idiot. Or owns stock in Merck. Or a govt/political whore. They have never been proven. Unfortunately, the VAERS database is highly unreliable. The reason is that anyone can submit a report to it, and no one actually verifies the accuracy of the report. Indeed, James Laidler once tested the system by submitting a report that the influenza virus had turned him into The Incredible Hulk. The report was accepted and duly entered into the database. This report was so out of the ordinary that a representative actually contacted him and, amazingly, asked his permission to remove the report from the database (proving that its not easy being green). If Laidler had not given it, the report of an adverse reaction in which the flu vaccine turned a man into a huge, immensely powerful green monster would still be in VAERS. You cant have it both ways. The REASON the govt took over vaccine pay-outs and has paid over 3 BILLION $$$ is because the victims were proving to the satisfaction of the courts that damages were happening, and the makers had to pay millions. It was GETTING WORSE so the govt said here is the REAL vaccine immunity from prosecution. and took over the courts. If there were doubts THEY WOULD NOT HAVE PAID either privately, or as govt. The science is bullshit look up Edward Jenner and see the lies of the first SUCCESSFUL vaccine. Some encyclopedias STILL state that his cowpox vaccine was effective in protecting against smallpox. IMPOSSIBLE, and in fact the smallpox vaccine was deadly. Undeniably, deadly. The difference btwn these australian and the US stats is essentially year and slight amounts/changes. This PROVES that vaccines didnt save us from pathogenic diseases. http://www.vaccinationdebate.net/web1.html The more you vaccinate for a disease the more you get that diseasehttp://www.activistpost.com/2014/12/chickenpox-vaccine-when-mandated.html How come the measles outbreak (i have been told) is the same strain as in the measles vaccine? There are EIGHTEEN OTHER measles vaccines, but the little outbreak comes from the vaccine you DO know that the MMR shot gives you LIVE measles, mumps, and rubella, right? That the side effects listed include measles, measles like symptoms, and go all the way to death, you knew that right? Look at the insert next time you jab your kids. Compensation is virtually automatic for so-called table injuries (i.e., known injuries that science attributed to vaccines listed on the Vaccine Injury Table) within the correct time frame. Also, compensation can be awarded if plaintiffs can meet a standard of evidence showing a 51% or greater chance that the plaintiff was injured by the vaccine in question. Indeed, as one lawyer who represents cases in front of the vaccine court put it: There is a difference between scientific proof and legal proof, Conway said. One is 95 percent certainty, and the other is . . . 50 percent and a feather. In other words, the award of compensation does not mean that a scientific link was found, only that a court of law thinks it more likely than not that a specific set of health problems is due to vaccine injury, no more, no less. A legal finding of causation does not necessarily imply a scientific finding of causation, no matter how much anti-vaccine activists trumpet rulings compensating children for vaccine injury as vindication of their pseudoscientific views that vaccines cause autism. Indeed, this ruling doesnt even prove that MMR can cause brain damage, a contentious scientific question whose answer is not at all clear. Finally, the VICP will reimburse plaintiffs for legal fees and court costs even if they lose in Vaccine Court. Injuries and complications that can be scientifically shown to be due to vaccines deserve compensation that is prompt, fair, and not onerous to obtain, even at the cost of letting sleazy lawyers take advantage of the system. Meanwhile, scientists should (and, the pharma conspiracy mongering of the anti-vaccine movement notwithstanding, do) work to make vaccines as safe as possible, so that such injuries are as rare as possible. Unfortunately, there will likely never be such a thing as a vaccine that is 100% absolutely safe; all that can be reasonably requested are vaccines whose benefits and safety far exceed a tiny risk of complications and a system that compensates those injuries. Although the ethical issue of how much risk is acceptable and what frequency of vaccine injuries are tolerable in the vaccination program is complex and difficult, we should not lose site of the fact that vaccines do far more than good. You go all legal and ignore reality, interesting. While i do appreciate your reasoned response, it is curious that you ignore the KNOWN damages (CDC and other independent and contracted studies) of the thimerosol mercury damages. It is a PROVEN brain damage agent, as are some of the other heavy-metal adjuvants. When statistics prove that increased vaccination increases the prevalence of every disease vaccinated against in exact correlation to rates of vaccinations there is no way in which vaccines are not a problem. When unvaccinated children are less prone to chronic illness, and 5X less likely to have to be hospitalized, vaccines are a problem. As for the Disney Vaccine Fantasy and the push by blatantly vested interests in pushing for mandatory vaccination this is scientifically bullshit also. Did anyone do any reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction tests to find out that the pathogen causing infection was the Schwarz strain the vaccine causing (again its been proven to cause the outbreaks in other cases you know) the outbreak or one of the OTHER EIGHTEEN measles strains? Until THAT is done (RTPCR testing) blaming unvaccinated for the outbreak is pseudoscience and gambling. We KNOW beyond doubt that vaccinated people ARE CARRIERS of their vaccination diseases, not just the unvaccinated. Your own bullshit biochemistry guesswork for vaccination immunity would show that Oh, the unvaccinated are susceptible to infection and the vaccinated are protected. Thus according to THEORY at least the vaccinated are safe from outbreaks. In reality however, most of the time the people in these outbreaks ARE vaccinated, and many times FULLY vaccinated proving how ineffective the vaccines truly are. New York measles outbreak 97% WERE vaccinated. Ohio Mumps outbreak 90% WERE shot up vaccinated. Your shit dont work, man! Thanks for this, Catherine. And please come out from your retirement more often now, that the vaccine issue has become such a hot item. We need your expertise/input on the subject. Thanks for this, Catherine. I tried to post here that I hope that you come out of retirement enough to continue to comment on this subject from your expertise. With vaccines becoming such a hot topic, the public needs all the help that it can get, to counter the obvious untruthfulness of TPTB. LOL! Since when do we look to Italy for medical science? Ohhhhhwhen Italian research backs our opinion. Vax causes Autism like snow causes Global Warming. TROLL Why shouldnt we? Whats wrong with Italians? My avatar speaks for itself. A court isnt a place to argue over science. There are no good studies that show the MMR causes autism 
1	A team of nine specially trained handlers have successfully lured outgoing vice president Dick Cheney into a reinforced steel traveling crate in order to transport him back to his permanent enclosure in Casper, WY, official sources reported Monday. 'He's a smart one. Once he sees the crate, he gets pretty nippy, but we've learned a few tricks over the years,' chief VP wrangler Ted Irving breathlessly said while applying pressure to a deep gash on his forearm. 'If we break a rabbit's legs and throw it in there, he will eventually go in to finish it off. Doesn't work with dead rabbits, though. Cheney only eats what he kills.' Irving said that the latest vice presidential relocation went much more smoothly than September's diplomatic trip to Georgia, which was delayed for several hours after Cheney mauled three secret service agents and escaped inside the White House walls. 
1	A local coffee shop employee exhibited no interest in contributing to the betterment of his community Monday, even though such a contribution would, in the long term, surely be in the man's best interest. Sources said it was certain that 32-year-old man Geoff Ross would reap substantial benefits from devoting his time to the advancement of his native Illinois region. Yet he has squandered countless opportunities to do so by instead indulging in frivolous personal activities, such as reading books of the noneducational variety, exercising recreationally, and socializing. 'I'm thinking of taking a week to travel,' Mr. Ross said to a friend recently, seemingly oblivious to the sort of individual sacrifices upon which great societies are formed. 'It'll be nice to take some time for myself and just get away for a bit.' Many sources expressed puzzlement at Mr. Ross's unwillingness to help his government build roads, develop new technologies, or amass an invincible standing army, especially since he is physically able and university-trained. In addition, many have noted that Mr. Ross's lack of interest in his community seems to stand in stark contrast to that of reputable international business figures such as Yu Wan Mei Amalgamated Salvage Fisheries and Polymer Injection Group CEO Zuo Xiabing, for instance. Born in 1956 in the city of Shijiazhuang in the Hebei province of northern China, Mr. Zuo has devoted his life to making that community a more dynamic and satisfactory place to live. The various fish spine and eye products developed in Mr. Zuo's factories have enriched the lives of millions of people, who want nothing more than to shake Mr. Zuo's hand and tearfully thank him for his generosity. Sources reported Monday that if only Geoff Ross were perhaps a little more like Zuo Xiabing, maybe his community would be a better place to live, and maybe also Mr. Ross would not be so lethargic and dissatisfied with life in general. The addition of more fish products into Mr. Ross's diet would also reportedly improve his life considerably. Thus far, no one in Mr. Ross's family has informed him that his conduct is an unacceptable hindrance to the progress of the city of Peoria. Nor have any of the man's friends or colleagues taken the time to shame him publicly by saying, 'Sir, your disregard for the well-being of our regional cohabitants makes a mockery of us all. If only our government's rule of law permitted the swift, decisive punishment of men such as you.' Mr. Ross was not contacted for comment as his opinions are not worthy of consideration.

3	DHS Report Points To Armageddon ScenarioChris Carrington The report was published in November 2011 and it states quite clearly on the documentation page that its an unclassified report that has been approved for unlimited public release. With something that can impact millions of people in the US alone its amazing that few people have heard that such a report exists. There are 22 nuclear reactors in the North-Eastern US, could that be the reason that the report is well buried? Or is it because after incidents like Katrina and Sandy the government proved over and over it couldnt cope? Both of those examples were very, very small in comparison to having 130,000,000 people without power. The scenario is based on the ionospheric electrojet centred at 50 degrees Northwhich is around Lakewoods County Minnesota. It makes very scary reading. You can read the full report here. Chris Carrington is a writer, researcher and lecturer with a background in science, technology and environmental studies.

1	Malaria, small pox and AIDS are among the many afflictions whose spread has been halted thanks to the World Health Organization's recent installation of hot-air hand dryers in millions of Third World restrooms. 'Before these dryers arrived, there was much disease and suffering in my restaurant,' said Ngwale Goba, assistant manager of a Kigali-area T.G.I. Friday's. 'But now that unsanitary paper hand towels have been eliminated, far fewer of us are dying. There is also less chafing.' 
2	Trump Under Fire After Making Huge Announcement About Muslim Immigration Ban In a controversial move away from his initial proposal, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has clarified that he never had intentions of banning all Muslims from entering the U.S., but rather all individuals from countries with high rates of terrorism. Well its only really a change if you never knew what the ban was to begin with, Trump campaign spokeswoman Katrina Pierson told CNN anchor Brianna Keilar. I know the news media has been reporting that the initial ban was against all Muslims and that simply was not the case. It was simply from Muslim immigration. Mr. Trump is simply adding specifics to clarify what his position is as opposed to what the media has been reporting what it is, Pierson continued. There has been no change to this. Mr. Trump still wants to stop individuals from coming into this country who cannot be vetted. Pierson went on to explain that Trumps comments on banning Muslim immigrations were limited in scope to immigration only. The policy in and of itself was an immigration policy, so the context there is extremely important and weve said this a number of times throughout the few months, she continued. Since that statement was made, weve had the CIA and the FBI come out and tell us that we have ISIS soldiers who are infiltrating the refugee program coming into the United States. Pierson went on to clarify that the ban would actually expand farther than most people initially believed. It doesnt matter really where youre coming from, except for the fact of the terrorist nations, which is something he is adding to this policy to make it more clear, she concluded. What do you think of Piersons comments? 
3	Cognitive Infiltration For The MassesJames F. Tracy Conspiracy theory is not merely a flippant or off-handed water cooler term, but rather a powerful tool of political discourse. Deployed as a pejorative putdown, political scientist Lance deHaven-Smith observes, Along these lines, conspiracy theory and its common variants, assassination buff, crackpot, wacko, and so on, were essentially interpolated into news reports and commentary in the late 1960s by CIA media assets as the agency maneuvered to bolster the Warren Commissions lone assassin explanation of John F. Kennedys assassination. When confronted in 2012, Sunstein does not remember very well co-authoring a 2008 paper, Conspiracy Theories, the namesake of his most recent book. Only in the past forty years or so has the label become an especially salient discursive technique for channeling political dialogue and inquiry. From the late 1800s through the first half of the 1900s the phrase can seldom be found in news discourse. A search of the Historical New York Times database finds that conspiracy theory is used 30 times between 1870 and 1960, often in accounts of criminal court proceedings. Yet from 1960 to 1969 alone there are 46 instances of the terms usage in Times articles. Since 1970, it is invoked in over 1,700 pieces, with a peak between 2000 and 2009 (728).[4] Today the pejorative not only acts as a disciplinary measurejournalists and scholars alike fear such a trenchant smearbut also as a technique to shape information and analysis. It serves as a more-than-subtle way of saying, Look here, not there, thereby guiding readers and viewers to place their reasoning faculties in abeyance and adopt what are often uncritical and even misleading modes of substantiation and conclusion. While this phenomenon is clearly demonstrable in print news media, it is also widespread in US-based cable and broadcast news. A LexisNexis search of news program transcripts for the dates March 1, 2011 to March 1, 2014 reveals 2,469 usages of the conspiracy theory/theories term. Probing the surveyed time span reveals CNN (586 transcripts) and MSNBC (382) as the foremost purveyors of the phrase, with Fox News (182) a distant third. The US governments transcript service, US Federal News, comes in at fourth, suggesting persistent strategic usage of the label at federal government press conferences and similar functions to drive home official positions and dispel challenges to them. Programming on National Public Radio ranks fifth, with 115 instances. The following is a breakdown of the cable or broadcast outlet/program referencing conspiracy theory or conspiracy theories in transcript text within the aforementioned three-year span. CNN Transcripts 586 To be more conclusive, the specific contexts in which the term is mobilized might be more fully examined and delineated. An argument may also be waged that this metric is not exactly proper given the dissimilar breadth of content produced by each outlet. After all, a 24-hour cable news channel such as CNN simply has far more news hole to fill than a daily one-hour broadcast like PBS News Hour or Charlie Rose. Yet even here the variances are telling. For example, when comparing domestic CNN transcripts to those of the channels counterpart, CNN International, the former uses the term over twelve times as frequently. Such findings suggest the execution of a clear-cut editorial policy to fulfill certain propaganda-related endsindeed, not unlike the Central Intelligence Agencys usage of the term to combat alternative interpretations of President Kennedys assassination. Along these lines, further examination of the data sample distinguishes how even news personalities bylines are correlated with frequent employment of the conspiracy theory label. Searching within the same data set, transcripts with CNN Anderson Coopers byline possess the highest incidence of the expression (81), with MSNBCs Rachel Maddow and Al Sharpton tied for second place (77), and Piers Morgan (38) ranking third. CNNs Erin Burnett and MSNBCs Chris Hayes tie for fourth. Ostensibly conservative Fox News personalities Bill OReilly and Sean Hannity use the expression less frequently. Anderson Cooper (CNN) 81 With the exception of ABC (Australia) and CTV (Canada), all of the outlets are US-based, suggesting how the American population, well known for its limited historical comprehension and political sophistication, is expressly targeted with repeated usage of the conspiracy theory phrase. A population relying on sensation, caricature, and hearsay to understand national and world affairs has already forsaken its freedom. It is perhaps ironic that CNN and MSNBC in particular cater to audiences that see themselves as open-minded and liberalindeed, the opposite of cunning technocrats such as Sunstein. At the same time, if these two networks continually depressed ratings are any indication, the public is becoming more and more skeptical of how it is being patronized.[5] A most profound political act any individual can undertake may involve adopting a basic regimen of intellectual self-defense that would include an increased awareness of the conspiracy theory label itself and a resolve to assess the terms utilization vis--vis the context in which it is employed, in an effort to better determine what it seeks to obscure, legitimate, and redirect attention to.

2	Trey Gowdy Slams Comey After He Tries To Stall Investigation Until After The Election FBI Director James Comey has acknowledged that the American public is furious with him and the FBI over their treatment of the Hillary Clinton case. Still, he maintains that if we would only look at it with fresh eyes people would see that his decision was sound. Not surprisingly, Trey Gowdy disagrees with that claim. Hes not the only one who cares about the reputation of the FBI, Gowdy commented. The FBI belongs to all of us. We have to use confidence in the bureau the morning after the election, the morning after the inauguration. So this isnt about politics. Gowdy then got on to the heart of the matterthe fact that Hillary Clinton is not paying for her crimes. He said after the politics is over you can take a fresh look at it, Gowdy asserted. I want to take a fresh look at it NOW. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com 
1	Revealing his most recent offering, which further solidifies his rightful place in the cultural pantheon, local graffiti artist Patrick Jester Dunham told reporters Friday that he has at last put the finishing touches on his latest masterwork, Still Life Of Marijuana Leaf. My newest creation combines the natural and the contrived, the unexpected and the everyday; it represents everything Ive achieved so far, while also suggesting what exciting frontiers lie ahead, Dunham said of his towering opus depicting a single monochrome Cannabis frond, which follows the aerosol masters recent tours de force, Anarchy Symbol, Dead Kennedys Logo, and Fuck You #8. In my early period, I attempted to merely assimilate the methods of those great virtuosos who came before me, but today I paint solely from within, channeling that deepest part of me and expressing my innermost self on the brick. And I think the intensity of that process comes out in my work. Dunham added that those wishing to experience his chef doeuvre for themselves may do so by visiting the western exterior of the Exchange Street Amtrak station, where the painting will be displayed alongside the locations permanent collection of bubble-letter slurs and phalluses. 
3	Ukraine Crisis Goes NuclearTony Cartalucci Right Sector, along with other Neo-Nazi militant fronts, spearheaded violence that led to the overthrow of the elected government of Ukraine in late 2013 and early 2014 in what was called the Euromaiden protests. Right Sector has since been used as a paramilitary organization by Kiev in an attempt to assert control over the rest of the country. Its mounting list of atrocities has led Kiev and its NATO backers to increasingly deny ties to the extremist front however, it is clear that the group is operating nationally and in tandem with security forces loyal to Kiev. Zaporizhia province neighbors Donetsk, which along with Luhansk province, recently held referendums leading to greater autonomy from Kiev and closer ties to neighboring Russia. Zaporizhia, laying between Donetsk and now Russian Crimea, could potentially be the next province to escape out from under the unelected regime currently occupying Kiev. The storming of Zaporizhia nuclear power plant by Neo-Nazis may appear to be an act of extreme irresponsibility carried out by witless, dangerous thugs, but the operation may have a much more sinister purpose. A May 7 Reuters article titled, NATO experts advise Ukraine on nuclear plant safety, stated: The article would continue by stating: And perhaps the most telling statement of all claimed: Indeed, Ukraine is not a NATO member, and it is almost inconceivable under what circumstances NATO troops could enter Ukrainian territory almost inconceivable. But a threat to one or more of Ukraines 15 nuclear reactors might give NATO the pretext necessary to deploy troops into Ukraine, particularly in the east where Kiev is unable to assert control. While NATO cannot justify intervening in Ukraines internal political crisis directly, it may attempt to make a case that a nuclear catastrophe directly threatens NATO members. Ukraine is the site of the worst nuclear accident in human history when in 1986, just north of Kiev, a reactor at the Chernobyl power plant exploded, exposing millions to radioactive contamination across Ukraine itself, Russia, and Europe. The reactor still poses a threat to human health and the environment even today. With this catastrophe in mind, NATO may believe that by provoking a security risk to Ukraines remaining reactors, particularly the facility in Zaporizhia Europes largest it can create enough fear and support for a possible intervention in Zaporizhia province, preventing anti-Kiev forces from peeling the region away from Kiev as they have in Donetsk, Luhansk, and Crimea. NATOs Dangerous Game Threatens All of Humanity Whether NATO is in fact attempting to intentionally create threats to Ukraines nuclear power plants as a pretext to intervene more directly in Ukraine or not is irrelevant. It is directly supporting the regime in Kiev that had organized and continues to perpetuate Right Sector who is currently creating such threats. However, with NATO being behind the chemical attack in Damascus, Syria in August of 2013 the idea of NATO fabricating a similar pretext in Ukraine is not beyond the realm of possibilities. NATOs inability to condemn and cut ties with the regime in Kiev, allows the menace of Right Sector to persist. The solution, likewise, is not more NATO intervention across the rest of Ukraine, but rather the undoing of the unelected regime it has put into power in Kiev in the first place. The disaster in Chernobyl involved a single reactor. Zaporizhia has six reactors. Threatening the security and safe operation of the facility in Zaporizhia either directly as a ploy to intervene, or indirectly by propping up the regime that created and continues to use Right Sector to augment its struggling security forces, puts the entire world in danger. The fallout from Zaporizhia in the event of a catastrophe could effect millions across Europe, Russia, and Eurasia. Should Ukraines Zaporizhia facility continue to be put in danger, it is far more realistic and justifiable for Russia, not NATO, to mobilize and deploy, or support within Zaporizhia province, security forces to provide ample protection. For NATO, if a pretext to intervene is their goal, it will require time and may never materialize at all, considering their failures in Syria and the lack of trust or legitimacy they now command. In the meantime, Russia and its allies in eastern Ukraine can continue working to move Zaporizhia away from the dangerous regime in Kiev and its equally dangerous and irresponsible backers in NATO just as has been done with Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk.

2	NoA restaurant owner in Charlotte, North Carolina recently posted a sign at the front of his Japanese restaurant that has made many people angry. The sign has actually been up for three years, but it was recently replaced with a larger version. People definitely took notice, and they have started sharing it across social media. Take your hood down, The sign on the front door of Kabuto Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar reads. Some people have shown an overwhelming support for the message. Owner Martin Tanaka claims that more people think that more places should do it. Of course, liberals have argued that the sign has racial undertones. It looks like they are trying to say something about some kind of race, one nearby resident told reporters. What do you think of the controversial sign? 
2	They Try To Take Down Josh Turner But He Refuses To Be Pushed Around Josh Turner is a good old country boy. He is an awesome country star who loves the outdoors and everything about nature. He is a real countryman and will not change for anyone. Josh is a huge fan of hunting and tries to go whenever he has a day off. He enjoys every second of his days off. Sometimes he says he enjoys them a little too much and doesnt want to go back to work. Josh said that if he could hunt every day he could. He loves how big the acreage and the views you get when hunting. I would love to go on a hunting trip with Josh Turner. Recently Josh tagged along with Mike Pawlawski for a hunting trip. The trip was filmed for the show Gridiron Outdoors. The show features a football star who invites a fellow celebrity onto the show to go hunting. On this episode the men hunted for boar in the hills of California. The views are unbelievable and the hunting was just as expected. Turner and Pawlawski worked together to hunt a 300+ pound boar. That is one hefty beast. The entire day was spent hunting this boar and eventually the men found it. It took 4 grown men to carry the boar into the truck. Now Turners hunt is getting major flack from PETA for his hunt. The VP of PETA hates on trophy hunters and everything they stand for. EH compared Turner to Walter Palmer the Cecil the Lion hunter. That is crazy! The boar population in California is large and it was boar-hunting season! Hunters are out there for a reason! The boars destroy the grass life and are often killed off to allow for other species to flourish. PETA needs to take a step and realize that they are fighting against all of America. Hunting is a natural thing to do and people should never be told not to hunt. Do you have his back? 
3	State Department Terrorism Report: Upping the Stakes for WarStephen Lendman Incidents manufactured out of whole cloth are called terrorism. In October 2011, Iran was falsely charged with plotting to kill Saudi Arabias US ambassador (Adel al-Jubeir). No plot whatever existed. So-called plans never progressed because theyre were none. The entire scenario was fabricated. At issue is falsely claiming Iran represents an existential threat. Its done to build a case for regime change. Washington tolerates no independent governments. It wants subservient pro-Western ones replacing them. Manssor Arbabsair and Gholam Shakuri were charged. Shakuris an Iranian-based Revolutionary Guard Quds Force member. Arbabsairs a naturalized US citizen. He holds an Iranian passport. On May 30, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison. On May 30, the State Department released it Country Reports on Terrorism 2012. It assesses international terrorism throughout the year. It does so country-by-country. It highlighted Iran and Hezbollah, saying: A marked resurgence of Irans state sponsorship of terrorism, through its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF), its Ministry of Intelligence and Security, and Tehrans ally Hizballah was noted. Irans state sponsorship of terrorism and Hizballahs terrorist activity have reached a tempo unseen since the 1990s, with attacks plotted in Southeast Asia, Europe, and Africa. Both Iran and Hizballah also continued to provide a broad range of support to the Asad regime, as it continues its brutal crackdown against the Syrian people. She discussed multiple Iranian challenges posed by its nuclear ambitions, its support for international terrorism and destabilizing activities in the region, and its human rights abuses at home. She falsely claimed Iran defies the international community. Its one of the greatest global concerns we face, she said. Iran is the worlds foremost state sponsor of terrorism, which it uses as a strategic tool of its foreign policy. (T)he Iran Threat Network comprises an alliance of surrogates, proxies, and partners such as Hizballah, HAMAS, and Iraqi Shia militants, among others. Iran funds, trains, and equips these terrorist organizations, in whole or in part, to use in attacks around the world. Hezbollah continues to be a key partner and substantial part of Irans threat network. Hizballah and the Iranian leadership share a worldview and strategic vision and are seeking to exploit the current unrest in the Middle East and North Africa to their advantage. Sherman accused Iran of training, arming, funding, aiding and abetting the Asad regime and its atrocious crackdown on its own people. It is coordinating its intervention in Syria with Hizballah, which is itself engaged in training pro-regime militants who attack Syrian civilians, and in direct fighting on behalf of the Asad regime against the Syrian people. Iran and Hizballah fighters are also directing the activities of Iraqi militia groups which have been enlisted to join in the Asad regimes war against the Syrian people. Iran has shown that it is willing to potentially destabilize an entire region if it means keeping the Syrian regime as an ally. Countering such efforts remains a key priority for the Administration. Washington wants unchallenged regional dominance. Its ravaging one country after another to achieve it. Its partnered with Israel to do so. Key NATO countries are involved. So are rogue Arab state allies. They may end up with more than they bargained for. Partnering with Washington is risky. Be careful what you wish for. Things may not turn out as planned. Full-scale war on Syria may spread cross borders. The entire region could become embroiled. Global war is possible. Imagine if it went nuclear. Imagine the consequences if it happens. Theyre too grim to risk. War is Americas strategy of choice. Israel operates the same way. Syrias in the eye of the storm. Both countries plan full-scale intervention. Events head incrementally toward doing so. They want Assad toppled and replaced. They want regional balkanization. Smaller weaker states facilitate control. America and Israel share similar goals. Core Zionist doctrine prioritizes a Greater Israel. Maximum territory is wanted. Israels the only country without fixed borders. Its for a reason. It wants them extended as far as possible. It wants neighboring sovereign territory included. It wants regional rivals eliminated. Doing so furthers Middle East dominance. America and Israel partner to achieve it. Washington wants it globally. Israel believes survival depends on controlling its own region. Syrias part of its expansion plans. So is Lebanon. Targeting Assad and Hezbollah reflect it. Proxy war rages in Syria. Its spilling cross border into Lebanon. Irans targeted. Establishing pro-Western governments throughout the region is prioritized. Events head incrementally toward full-scale Syrian intervention. Israels actively aiding Al Qaeda, Al Nusra and other extremist elements. So is Washington. Both countries pretend otherwise. They want the region redrawn in their own image. A previous article discussed Americas New Middle East agenda. Achieving it depends on destabilization, subversion, chaos, violence, and full-scale war. US-style diplomacy reflects it. One war segues to others. Divide, conquer and control reflect policy. Its the oil, other valued resources and more. Unchallenged dominance is sought. Redrawing the region facilitates it. Strategy includes manufacturing threats. According to Israels Counter-Terrorism Bureau, Nigerian security forces uncovered a Hezbollah terrorist cell. Israel claims it planned numerous attacks on Western and Israeli targets. It called doing so part of the Shiite terror campaign against Israeli targets throughout the world. It said additional cells likely operate in other African nations. Claims without clear corroboration lack legitimacy. No evidence supports Israels allegations. Anti-Assad, Iran and Hezbollah ones are spurious. Theyre repeated ad nauseam. US and Israeli pressure got Germany to declare Hezbollah a terrorist organization. Its longstanding position resisted. Other Western nations may pile on. Britain formally requested EU countries do so. Israel urged them earlier. Hezbollahs aiding its Syrian ally. It has every right to do so. Its own interests are at stake. Syrias downfall could mean its own. Mossad-connected DEBKAfile (DF) claims Assad plans a Golan offensive against Syria. It said doing so is the next stage of the Syrian war, which, if Tehran and Hizbollah have their way, will evolve in a war of attrition against Israel waged from the Syrian Golan. It claimed Iranian forces will be involved. Once hostilities against Israel begin, it will be hard to stop the violence from spreading to Israels borders with Lebanon, from Syria into Turkey, and from Jordan into Syria and Iraq. A second DF report headlined Israels dithering over Golan strikes gives Assad go-ahead for war of attrition. Saying so turns truth on its head. Assad has no aggressive intentions. Washington, Israel, and partnered countries head toward full-scale war on Syria. Falsely accusing Assad facilitates doing so. It bears continued repeating. Libya 2.0 looms. It may come sooner than expected. Proposed Geneva II talks have no chance to succeed. Peace talks are subterfuge. They mask war plans. Washington, Israel and partnered countries incrementally head toward doing so full-blown. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	Punk Blows Cigar Smoke In The Face Of Teacher [VIDEO] At the hands of the Obama administration, weve seen core values and respect for authority going out the window in todays youth. Just last month, a 10-second YouTube video showing a student from North Little Rock High School blowing smoke in his teachers face went viral. The incident took place after the student refused a request to take his final exam in the hallway, and his teacher threatened to write him up for it. Now, it appears that 18-year-old Christopher Dunn may finally be getting what he deserves. Hit that buttonI dare you, Dunn is reportedly heard telling the teacher as he reaches for the intercom button. As the teacher turns away to pen the write-up, Dunn is seen lighting a cigar, walking up to front of the classroom, and blowing smoke in his teachers face. Dunn is just one of a string of students at Little Rock who have little respect for authorityand it represents a larger problem, too. Disruptive black teens throughout the country are being given special treatment in order to combat allegations of white supremacy. Fortunately, Dunn will at least be given some consequences for his actions. The student will be disciplined according to district policy, Michael Stone, the Director of Student Services for the district said in a statement. What do you think? Are actions like these being fueled by the one-sided story the liberal media is telling? 
3	TPP is Treason. WAKE UP! Globalization Goes For Checkmate. (PART ONE)By Brett Redmayne-Titley In July of 2012, thanks to the help of local activists the author obtained a Press Pass and a very coveted Stakeholders Pass that allowed him into the San Diego TPP negotiations, thus being the only reporter present who was not pro-TPP. His tough questions, interviews, and press conference challenges put the author in the line-of-fire and led to a shocking, multi-part expos, possibly the most in-depth, inside look at TPP. Due to the constant secrecy of the TPP negations highlighted in this series very little new information has been revealed since. In an effort to provide the reader information on the threat of TPP, selfnews Post is kindly re-publishing the series one part each day as a service to its American and world-wide readers. A new final chapter will be offered that will include the most recent updated information. TPP and TTIP must be stopped! Read on and find out why. TPP is not secret anymore! B.R-T. We have to stop them before it gets to Congress, warned Brooke Harper, referring to the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP), the proposed pan-Pacific trade treaty. This is likely the most insidious piece of corporate-inspired global legislation ever to be secretly slipped through the halls of the US Congress. Its details were a secret until two weeks ago. Now, opposition must rise quickly. The consequences for America and eleven other nations are indeed terminal. Ms. Harper, who represents Global Trade Watch, an organization based in Wash. DC, has just arrived in San Diego. Her goal: to rally Southern California area activists in preparation for the upcoming TPP eight-day negotiations to be held at the Hilton/San Diego Bayfront, in San Diego, July 2-10, 2012. This is round thirteen of the negotiations. A crowd of about forty, representing activist groups from the San Diego area, listened as Harper explained the depth of the threat posed by TPP. They had gathered at Canvass for a Cause, a community hall in the City Heights area. What the audience heard was chilling and went far beyond the fringes of our current broken American democracy and its corrupt politicians. US Pres. Barack Obama is a traitor. Period. This underhanded treaty secretly sells out the American peoples legal, sovereign, and constitutional protections in favor of this presidents corporate puppet masters. The concept, inception, and mechanism of the TPP treaty as well as the effort to secretly pass it come, solely, from the Obama administration. In doing so, our one-time constitutional scholar president attempts to create a new, world-wide, corporate dynasty. TPP effectively allows for the overthrow of the legal sovereignty and national jurisdiction of the United States courts and political system to a foreign power. This is the very definition of treason. If Americans dont stop TPP corporations will literally be able to circumvent the existing laws of the EPA, FDA, trade unions, collective bargaining agreements, patent protections, banking regulations and many other American regulations and rights. All will be negated solely by the arbitrary diktats of corporations. This treason is being currently and secretly included in the language of the TPP treaty here in San Diego. Should state, local, or federal governmental agencies attempt to enforce American laws in favor of their citizens that conflict with the wishes of the multi-nationals, a separate corporate court will have supreme jurisdiction and the last say over any American governmental agency. Ominously called, The Tribunal, it has the power to override any existing American regulation. Absurdly, Federal agencies, State Govts, City authorities, citizens property rights, and competing American corporate interests will be considered as the Defendant before this tribunal. When brought to the dock, these defendants these nations will be charged, by the plaintiff corporation, with a new crime: Technical Barrier to Trade. Really. The Tribunal issues all final, irrevocable, decisions. Should the defendant national interest choose not to comply with the Tribunals diktat, or refuse to pay the Tribunal ordered financial compensation, the judgment per the TPP treaty will be enforced by the federal govt against subservient that American interest. Making matters even worse, American-based corporations will not have access to the authoritarian controls and manipulations of the TPP treaty. These luxuries are only available to the big multi-national corporations. Smaller American corporations will be subordinate to the whims of TPP. So your state decides to place a health tax on cigarettes of one dollar a pack, as compensation for increased healthcare costs created by smokers of your state. (Californias Prop 29 attempted to do this in the last primary election.) The voters actually approve the tax in a democratic referendum. This seems pretty fair, so far. Au Contraire. R.J. Reynolds doesnt like this anecdote of democracy, considering it bad for business, and their profits. Increased healthcare costs from a self-propagating addiction be-damned; big corporations, at least the ones with real power, dont worry about the trifles of such democracy. This aggrieved corporation merely turns to the, Investor/State Dispute Resolution Tribunal. No need to waste time in a state or federal court nor the Supreme Court of the United States these courts will be useless at the hands of the Tribunal. This corporate-sponsored, US congressional science fiction continues when, next, considering the makeup of the Tribunal and its members. Composed of just three corporate lawyers (remember what Shakespeare said?), the three will be divided into; one with experience with the defendants issues, one for the plaintiff corporation, and a third who is, somehow, neutral. The Tribunal will meet in closed session away from cameras and reporters when adjudicating disputes between sovereign national, American, federal, state, or local laws and the wishes of the corporations whose countries governments will have treasonously ratified the TPP treaty. With the likelihood of any national interest prevailing at the Tribunal being effectively nil, the tribunal now rules against your states cigarette tax. The tax is ordered to be repealed and, as punishment to the state for the crime of effecting a technical barrier to trade, money damages are awarded to the plaintiff corporation. This manufactured new term is the mantra of TPP and translates directly in this case into, your (healthcare) law is restricting our profits. The Tribunal then issues an order for compensation of, hypothetically, one hundred million dollars, due to the loss of profits to R.J. Reynolds tobacco sales. Your states attorney general says, over my dead body, and heads for the Appeals court, perhaps the Supreme Court. Au Contraire. Here lies the true treason of TPP. It grants, once Congress ratifies it, the complete nullification of the jurisdiction of all US courts regarding matters before the tribunal. So your state loses. Automatically. Well, now your state treasurer says, well never pay. Good luck! Thanks to TPP, and a majority of similarly treasonous US Congressman, the federal government, which has authority over the states, must then enforce the monetary judgment. Your states treasurer wakes up one morning to a call from the bank. Its something about a $100 million withdrawal. Uncle Sam just stole your states $100 million and gave it to R.J. Reynolds. And there wasnt a damn thing your state could do to stop it. This is not fantasy. Nor hyperbole. It has already happened. Right now, Australia is under a similar legal attack by Phillip Morris, Ltd, one of the worlds largest cigarette manufacturers. Because of a similar existing, Hong Kong/Australia, trade treaty, Phillip Morris is currently seeking tens of millions of dollars in monetary damages from the Australian Govt. Previously, the Aussies decided to mandate plain paper packaging of all cigarettes and that this packaging feature a large health warning as well as some very ghastly color images of diseased lungs, stomas, etc., all designed to discourage smoking. However, thanks to the terms of this real-life treaty, Australias justice ministry is currently fending-off Phillip Morris and their very arbitrary and very large money judgment delivered by a Tribunal. The Obama administrations treason in propagating TPP is shown in many other likely future edicts. Using the broad brush of Technical Barrier to Trade pro-American interests may soon be banned. Green Energy, an Obama campaign promise, will not be a reality as this would compete with the much stronger oil industry. Healthcare for employees? Also gone, due to the cost to employers. Patent terms would be lengthened to as much as ninety-nine years so as to restrict the production of cheaper generic drugs of same quality, thereby maintaining higher prices and restricting access to medication in impoverished counties. How many millions of people world-wide who may die will never be known. Banking regulation, already minimal, will be gone. The few remaining small farmers will be forced from their land by multi-national agri-business. Fracking? Whether you like it, or not! These are just the obvious examples. Substitute into this scenario any governmental agency, fit in any restriction to corporate profit, and add the name of any multi-national corporation and the story plays out the same. These requirements are actually currently written into the first two chapters of the TPP treaty recently leaked to the public. There are working-drafts in progress for twenty-six additional chapters. Most have nothing to do with trade, but rather impose limits on domestic food safety, health, environmental, and other policies. The first two are bad enough. These draft copies were released to Global Trade Watch two weeks ago. The governments involved, including the US, wont release the texts to the public. Nor to elected US congresspersons and Senators! However, 600 corporate trade advisors have full access. What was two weeks ago initially met with a collective gasp by most media, was quickly dampened to a mumble after a one-day news cycle. It is now missing from the pages of our nations corporate-controlled media, much like the recent NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) subterfuge. Media scoundrels are doing their job efficiently. During a the previous Dallas negotiations, despite the presence of over 400 area protesters, there was only one media crew, from Japan, present to cover the event. Tonight, these forty-plus activist leaders are determined to make the week of July 2 -10 a call to action, and bring the attention of their American and world-wide brethren to the pending horror of TPP. After a 90-minute presentation by Brooke Harper on the nuances of TPP, the gathering spent another hour and a half discussing protest plans for each day of the week during the TPP negotiations. A coordinated effort from across Southern California is expected to make a strong presence daily. Twenty members of the group have been given passes to enter the assembly each day as, Stakeholders, (implying that they actually have a say in the negotiations) and can meet and discuss issues with the official trade representatives of the countries present. Harper warns these stakeholders to be prepared for the self-serving arguments of the negotiators, since the invitation is designed to be the foil for the negotiators to challenge these protesters in public and thus legitimize the TPP process. The countries who are party to this attempt at corporate world domination, i.e. globalization, are United States,Canada,Australia, Brunei,Chile, Japan,Malaysia,Mexico, New Zealand,Peru,SingaporeandVietnam.All these countries are champions of this new corporate Democratic model. The TPP negotiators refer to the treaty as a Docking Agreement meaning it is an opportunity for other countries to join. Mexico and Canada have recently joined. Two-and a- half years ago, Americas one-time constitutional scholar president commenced his assault on Americans best interests by commissioning, in secret, the drafting of the TPP treaty. Next, his administration just as secretly began inviting countries to participate in the negotiations. These negotiations have been continuing routinely, with the recent twelfth stopover in Dallas, Texas this past May and now San Diego. All the twenty US trade negotiators and the US trade representative, Ron Kirk, will be present at the TPP conference. All were selected by Obama. This presidents treason must deliberately be concealed as the release of secret two chapters reveals. US Congressmen and Senators will not be able to see a final draft until it is submitted to them for consideration, and presumably, automatic passage. This pre-authored TPP treaty, in the mold of so many previous pieces of legislation pre-authored by A.L.E.C. (American Legislative Exchange Council), will have no need to be read by these congressmen, who seem due their lack of interest already in the bag. The likely punch-line to this treasonous joke will be: that Obama will use his fast-track authority via current US trade authority, to get this through Congress without the possibility of formal congressional review or massive public outcry. Like his midnight signature to the secret ear-mark provisions of this past New Years sinister NDAA, this treasonous president, and his congressional co-conspirators, attempt to put, using TPP, a final death nail in American democracy. Unless. The time-line for passage of the TPP treaty by the US Congress and the other member nations is intended to be by late summer this year. So far, just two congresswomen are taking an interest in protecting American sovereignty and its citizens from TPP. Reps. Rosa L. DeLauro (D-CT) and Rep. Donna Edwards (D- MD) are the current leaders in exposing and challenging TPP. Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), chairman of the Trade Committee in the Senate, which supposedly has jurisdiction over trade agreements, has been denied any access to viewing a copy despite persistent requests. Already even before ratification a US senator lacks standing or jurisdiction in the eyes of the TPP conspirators. Times were dire and corporations were already running amuck over public interests before the sudden, shocking, news of TPP. Now, corporations seek supreme authority over sovereign nations. Desperate and ever greedy, the minions of authoritarian, corporate democracy wish to give their corporate masters the keys to the base of the financial pyramid. From Citizens United to the BP oil disaster cover-up; from Obamas sham Heath Care bill to the NDAAs new gutting of American civil liberties, these treasons were not enough. We now have TPP, designed to finish the job. It must be stopped. Efforts in San Diego and across the nation must commence. Congressmen must be contacted. Phones must ring. The call to national action must go out. Or the last vestiges of freedom will. George Orwell cried last night. The Pigs are winning. BRETT REDMAYNE-TITLEY Former Columnist: PRESS TV/IRAN These days even if Congress doesnt ratify the treaty, will they just continue on with their Totalitarian Tiptoe and start implementing parts of the treaty, slowly, under the radar until everyone just accepts the end game? This sentence says a lot-Thanks to TPP, and a majority of similarly treasonous US Congressman, im sure congress will have no problem passing it after all their motto is if it screws the american people we are all for it The fascist corporations are winning. George Orwell was right. .And there wasnt a damn thing your state could do to stop it. Every country has snipers and the names of those three corporate lawyers leading the Tribunal will be known. A Global Economy presupposes Global WAGES. All resources are being seized, on land and sea. Spiro Skouras explains four days ago, on April 22nd, the Globalists legally formalized the UN and Corporate takeover of the oceans controlling all resources and creating no go zones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=josKPWSGpY4 Treason is in the air it is everywhere. Our Founders went to war, against the most powerful military in world history, over a tax on tea. Yet, here we sit while our elected representatives impose infinite taxation and regulation on us. Obamao, committing treason, since 2009. TPP = Total Population Purge~ Outsourcing of our official data and records and systems in nearly every area has fast been getting outside the country as congress begins to wake up to the vast sums stolen and deaths and other horrific things that have occurred since 2002 when Congress defunded any audit controls and no money investigate or arrest real organized crime that has been going on. Main media still says govt did this or that when source 2 govt has just contracted official business out and they have done as they pleased and more ethical companies forced out. The SEC was defunded also and the conflicts of interest re horrific especially in health care. when one interlocked cabal of over 150 companies just gets more large and more in control. THERE IS NO GOVT RUN HEALTH CARE. JUST TAXPAYER FUNDED AND RIGHT AND LIVES LOST FOR IT. HHS knows nothing as they only review what the crooks let them see. and its a miracle hey find as much as they do. This cabal is in defiance as 38 federal agency judges on my cases along and no way to enforce it without an act of congress. Overpayments go against patient and doctor, etc. and SSA has not processed one simple waiver request since they The negro sodomite Moslem (he is not a legal president) represents decades of betrayal by the very people you elect and put in office. Beginning sometime in 1913 they have eroded the Constitution to the point is it now just a piece of paper to mock. And how they have! They mocked it and humiliated it by putting in YOUR FACE an illegal negro Moslem sodomite. Do you need anymore evidence? He is mocking the Constitution, slapping your Christianity and putting down your culture and still he is up there. The final nail in YOUR coffin is one day you will wake up and find the negro has declared himself President-for-life and all of Congress approving of it with a standing ovation. All hail the negro.. The negro has very little, if anything, to do with this parasitic, plundering treason. now right there IS WHY they will attempt to stop trump any which way THEY CAN. Carbon credits will be the new dollar, the worlds energy sources will be militarily defensible, and the prisons that were in will finally start growing walls. China already knows its a done deal. Look at their property ownership in British Columbia. Think Canada and the US are sovereign states? Nope, the North American Union roads are already BUILT, waiting for a permit to paint the lines. Dissent means prison now, under terrorism or security threat or human rights kangaroo courts. Property is taxed regularly so you can employ officers to give you tickets. (They have to save the world from vegetable gardens, improperly spaced fence panels, and sidewalk chalk. Its not enough, so every generation they recoup overruns in estate taxes (deceased), income taxes (heirs). The next terrorism event will surely instill martial law (for which the infrastructure is in place) and enact the North American Defense umbrella, which will circumvent ratification of the NAU and be the premise for biometric and RFID security (which is sitting at the border ready to plug in). Rural residents will relocate into cities, voluntarily and because the police tank that was in the parade last year is now on your front lawn. Wind/solar farms will go up on those properties, back-feeding grids to keep the lights on at enormous costs while Corporations with new navies stockpile oil. That oil will leverage write carbon credits as bonuses to particularly sustainable (profitable) allies/former nations, and it will be most stable currency imaginable because nobody will get their hands on it. Citizens who have all their assets tied up in the current economy will be allowed to work off their newly acquired debt, those privy crash it and back the carbo-dollar, which will do nothing but sit and be valuable. What is there to buy? They have all of the worlds energy, have made it illegal and impractical to dispute that with force, regulate and conduct all trade at the same time, and the world owes them many generations of debt. Even if cash were still legal (which it wont be) you couldnt use it to have a fire in your frigid home because your Goopple subsidized bunk is full of iGcameras. December, 2020. You go to work in the morning, rubbing shoulders on the way out with the strangers coming in (the residents change every 12 hrs with the shifts), and you feel a limp gloved hand slip out of yours. She is so different, since they caught her with that grass in her mouth. The judge went easy on you, because it was on school property, so the co-parent (Ministry of Education) covered the cost of treatment and you can visit once a week. The girl is so quiet now. Vacant. Pale. You rub her back (no skin to skin contact) and slip some contraband peanuts into her pocket as she files in line at the Child Protective Services muster point, where the children get their weekly vaccinations on the way to campus. You get lucky, because youre already biting your tongue to keep from cryingit keeps you from saying Merry Christmas. The tears dont start until you turn around. Theyre not the regular tears from the planes and the dust, these are tears of not being able to breathe or move. As the implants discharge the last of their current as your heart stops, you see out of the corner of your paralyzed eyes that yes, there ARE security guards in that blacked-out room, after all. They have a gurney, and they would have made it to you sooner if they didnt stop to give a ticket to a guy whose parking tickets tripped the facial recognition as he was boarding. A tiny smile wants to cross your face, but you fall away as you think of your daughter. Shes like most kids: shes never even SEEN a peanut, immersed in Common Core Campus. They stopped the unlicensed food inspections, because after all the animals were released (so inhumane to constrict their freedom) there was no point. Public Safety screeners have gotten complacent about allergies since proteins went synthetic. Nuts are such deathly allergies now. The more crap they pass the sooner it will bring down the house of cards. No! The more crap they get passed the tighter the clamps are squeezing around the collective balls of humanity. They are winning because they have complete control of most governments. And of course we the people are acting like retarded monkeys around our flicker boxes. I feel like crying . My ancestors built this great nation and fought several wars to keep it free . I was raised in the greatest country the world has ever known . And now , a bunch of TRAITORS are taking it down from within . Donald J. Trump is our last chance to save this country . Thats it . 
3	Judicial Watchdog Official Claims He Was Fired For Complaint Against Judge In Child Custody CaseBy Derrick Broze Paul J. Fischerjoined Michigans Judicial Tenure Commission in January 2001. Fischer joined the states independent judicial disciplinary agency that is supposed to watch over about 600 judges. The commission can investigate claims of misconduct and make recommendations to the Michigan Supreme Court. By the time Fischer was fired in September he was theJTCs executive director and general counsel. He is now suingthe state and the commission with allegations that he was targeted for holding a judge accountable. The judge in question isJudge Lisa Gorcyca of the Oakland County Circuit Court. In June of 2015, Judge Gorcycas actions became a national story after she found three children between the ages of 9 and 13 years old in contempt of court and sentenced them to a juvenile detention center for 17 days. Judge Gorcyca said the children were being punished forrefusing to have a healthy relationship with [their] father. The actions of Judge Gorcyca received worldwide attention, including a video of the June 24, 2015 hearing going viral, exposing Judge Gorcycas egregious behavior on a national scale and leading many media commentators to characterize her conduct as highly abusive toward the minor children, the complaint states. According to Fischer, he was punished for doing what he was legally required to do as part of the commission.He claims that onJuly 10, 2015 he sent an email to JTC members asking for an informal investigation intoJudge Gorcycas conduct. Although the investigation was eventually approved, Fischer says he faced push back from other commissioners who supported the judge. Courthouse News reports: After the formal complaint was filed, about 50 people identifying themselves as lawyers signed a document and press release supporting Judge Gorcyca. Their support of the judge became a topic of discussion at the JTCs Jan. 11, 2016, meeting, according to Fischers lawsuit. The commissioners articulated and seemed to adopt the construct argued by the supporting lawyers: that Judge Gorcyca was a good judge who had a bad day, the complaint states. Fischer claims the JTC began holding executive meetings without him and avoided discussing the issue with him. Soon after theMichigan Supreme Court appointed retired Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Daniel Ryan to oversee the investigation. On July 1, 2016, Ryan issued a 34-page report confirming that Judge Gorcyca was guilty ofjudicial misconduct. Fischer called on the JTC to affirm the findings and recommend a nine-month unpaid suspension and $12,000 fine. Instead, Fischer says he was fired on September 12 as retaliation. Fischer was replaced by Glenn Page, a JTC staff attorney. In November, Under Pages interim watch,the JTCfound thatGorcycalied in responses to questions about the case and recommended she be publicly censured and suspended 30 days. The JTC saidthat Gorcycas answers may have been inaccurate and somewhat misleading, but she did not make intentionally false statements, reports the Detroit Free Press. The commission also saidthe judge crossed the line from proper demeanor to caustic abuse. The Michigan Supreme Court can now choose to accept or reject the recommendations. Commission Chairman Judge David Sawyer said the case Gorcyca was dealing with was difficult and involved complicated issues of parental rights. Judge Sawyer did not elaborate as to whether the difficulties of the case justify locking up children who do not want to live with one parent. Unfortunately, this is just another example of how the States involvement in our lives, especially in relation to children, is typically going to end badly.

Image Credit: Pixabay.com Most cops, lawyers and judges are all Freemasons; held by a self destructive blood oath to protect each other from harm. The legal system is skewered. If so, then how and why would they protect this female judge and refuse to protect the male attorney running the judicial review board? Do you know if she was a member of Eastern Star? The Masons are a vastly diminishing group, and yes, they have hand signals that if given alert Brother Masons to their plight and ask for help. Yes, there is almost no Rule of Law today, and with the extraordinary dumbing down of America, the total lack of respect for the Law or for any knowledge, and the widespread abuse and misuse of official power, and the intentional indifference and unconsciousness of Americans, it is nearly impossible to find any justice anywhere in the United States. Oh, for all we know, the female judge is being excused from having to behave with required judicial temperament for reasons stemming from the vast Politically Correct movement. It could be her race that excuses her. Not likely her gender unless she is a militant lesbian. I hope Fischer wins a million dollars. Punish the lawless. Legal system only applies to the plebes and are handed the worst sentences possible. If the kids werent doing what their father told them to do (i.e. going where he told them to go) then the kids were incorrigible and if they remained defiant even to the judge then it was entirely appropriate to send them off to juvenile hall for the weekend. 17 days is pretty severe though for kids so young no matter how bad they were acting This whole idea though that kids can do whatever they want and decide what parent theyre going to live with is asinine. Kids are kids they dont get to make those sorts of choices. They were not in a juvenile crime hearing; she therefore lacked jurisdiction to do that. Furthermore it is apparent she was ignoring evidence to feed a non-evidence based decision. Such findinga are contrary to law. The ability of a judge to hold someone in contempt is not limited to juvenile criminal court What evidence was she ignoring? Maybe she just had doubts about the validity or importance of that evidence. 
1	Five years after the Monica Lewinsky scandal, former president Bill Clinton announced Tuesday that, at long last, he is emotionally ready to start receiving blow jobs again. 'It has been a long, difficult road, but I am finally at a point in my life where I can receive oral sex from a woman again,' Clinton told reporters. 'After many years of soul-searching and intensive therapy, I am now able to enjoy getting blown without all that painful emotional baggage overshadowing what should be a wonderful experience.' 
1	In a miracle that defies statistical probability, Corey Muntner, 18, reported Monday that he found his soulmate, Tammy Gaska, right in his very own hometown of Peshtigo. Muntner and his one true love. 'They say God puts one special person on this planet who is your one true love,' said Muntner, who has left Marinette County twice in his life, both times for marching-band competitions in nearby Menominee. 'It's incredible, but I somehow found mine right here in the town where I've always lived. If that's not fate, I don't know what is.' Muntner, a 2001 graduate of Peshtigo High School, met Gaska, currently a junior at the school, in November 1999 in the student parking lot. 'I was hanging out by my car with my buddy Bryan, and this really hot chick comes walking up,' Muntner said. 'She asks us for a smoke, and I give her one of my Camels. So Bryan, who's a good guy but kind of a goober, says, 'What are you doing Saturday night?' She says, 'Nothing with you.' Then, for some reason, I say, 'How about me?' and she smiles and says, 'Sure.'' 'That girl's name, you ask?' Muntner continued. 'Tammy Gaska.' Relationship experts estimate that the chances of meeting someone in your lifetime that you fully connect with on a spiritual, intellectual, and physical level are one in 2.3 billion, making the geographic proximity of the soulmates nothing short of astonishing. 'How often does a person find their one true love at all, much less in the tiny rural Wisconsin town where they grew up?' Muntner said. 'That's why me and Tammy are still going out even though she gave Danny [Corvo] a hand job in the Copps [Food Center] freezer a few months ago. You just don't give up on true love.' Muntner said he very nearly did not meet Gaska, making their union all the more incredible. 'When I was in 10th grade, my dad got a job offer in Manitowoc, and we almost moved,' Muntner said. 'If he'd taken the job, I would have never met Tammy. It's pretty scary to think about how close that was to happening. Obviously, somebody up there wanted us to be together.' Muntner said he knew almost immediately that he and Tammy were 'so meant to be together.' 'I could tell on the first date that Tammy was Mrs. Right,' Muntner said. 'When she told me she wanted to eat at Schussler's Supper Club, I was like, 'That's my favorite place in town!' What are the odds that out of Peshtigo's five restaurants, we'd both like the same one?' While many of his friends have had to search the state, country, or at least somewhere outside a three-mile radius to find 'The One,' Muntner said he is doubly blessed that Gaska lives a mere four blocks away. 'My friend Rodney [Auer] has a girlfriend who lives all the way over in Oconto Falls,' Muntner said. 'Sometimes, he doesn't get to see her all week if something is wrong with his truck. I don't think I could stand to be away from Tammy for that long.' Muntner, who prior to meeting Gaska had dated only two girls, one for five weeks and the other for two months, said he is amazed that he was able to find the perfect person so quicklyand in a town of only 3,400 people. 'Tammy is really special.' Muntner said. 'Most people who marry someone from their hometown just settle for whatever's around. I'm glad I didn't have to do that.' 
2	Welfare Queen Freaks Out After See Sign At Grocery Store Over the past few years, weve seen growing concern over the rise in welfare fraud and able-bodied moochers gaming the system at the expense of hard-working Americans. The Administration has done nothing but contribute to the welfare state, growing it to 41% or more than $193 billion since Obama took office. Were officially spending more on welfare on a country than we are on securing the nation. Now, many grocery stores throughout the nation are taking a stand where Obama has refused to. Wawa recently made headlines after putting up signs warning welfare recipients that they no longer take EBT cards. We are no longer accepting EBT, one sign in the window of a Wawa read. Please use cash or credit. If you do not have cash or credit then maybe it is time to get a job. The signs are reportedly being hung throughout the chain in Philadelphia. This sign in particular has gone viral after being posted on Facebook by Jay McGuire. People who are liking and sharing the post are clearly frustrated with the system. What do you think? Do you agree with the sign or did Wawa take things too far? 
2	FOX News Reporter Suspended For Saying This About Eric Garner... Reporter Erika Reidt of Fox Sports Deportes is facing serious criticism after she made a controversial joke about Eric Garner. I cant breathe because I obey the law, she posted on her Facebook account. Of course, liberals were instantly outraged, and Reidt was suspending from the news network shortly thereafter. Now, the young woman is claiming that she was hacked. I want to clarify in regards to the comment about Eric Garner, my account was hacked and apparently that comment was posted without my consent, Reidt Tweeted. I am trying to investigate who posted this horrific comment. I was on a run when this comment was posted and realized that it was posted. I was raised in the hood and know the struggles our minority communities go through. I pray we become the system and abolish all racism. What do you think of Reidts comments? Should she have been suspended for exercising her freedom of speech? 
2	BREAKING: Unauthorized Documents Leak Connecting Chelsea Clinton To Massive Federal Scheme Hillary Clinton may not be President of the United States anytime soon, but that doesnt mean she shouldnt be held accountable for her crimes. According to leaked emails, Clinton made connections for her daughters friend which could have led to lucrative government contracts. The then-secretary of state reportedly arranged meetings between Jacqueline Newmyer-Deal, a childhood friend of Chelseas and president of Long Term Strategy Group, and top Pentagon officials. The meetings are believed to have led to consulting contracts for the group. In 2009, Clinton recommended Deal to Michele Flournoy, who was fresh in her role as the undersecretary for defense policy at the Department of Defense. After the meeting, Deal reportedly thanked Clinton for all [her] encourage and help with DoD. I met with Micheles other deputy yesterday, and we had a productive discussion about Iran and developments in maritime Asia, Deal continued. We also discussed contract vehicles and mapped out what we need to do so that we can go to work! I am very grateful for everything you have done. Deals Long Term Strategy Group received more than $1.3 million from DoD contracts, and the Pentagon paid the group around $60,000 for unclassified reports of between 20 and 40 pages. It dished out about $40,000 more for workshops with DoD officials and think tanks. In total, the group has received about $6 million from federal contracts since 2009. The report claimed that the United States will continue to use war as an instrument of state policy, since many in government descended from the Scots-Irish. Flournoy has no recollection of meeting with Deal but told The Washington Free Beacon that she did not directly make decisions with the people she mentored in her position. Whether any of the people I have met with went on to win contracts with the Office of Net Assessment or other Department of Defense entities was outside my purview as undersecretary of defense for policy, she argued. I have and will continue to work with young men and women, including those recommended to me by people whose opinion and judgment I respect, such as Secretary Clinton. The last email chain between Deal and Clinton took place after Clinton attended Deals weddingjust one day before Operation Red Dawn, where U.S. Special Forces killed Obama Bin Laden. I was delighted to be there and stayed as long as I could at the reception before having to leave, Clinton told Deal. I confess that the Bin Laden op the next day consumed most of my mental space! What do you think of this exchange between Clinton and Deal? It seems Hillary was more than happy to hand out very expensive favors. 
2	U.S. Military Makes Absolutely Heroic Stand Against Obama According to recent reports, the United States Army has just officially charged Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl with desertiona lawsuit that could potential land him in prison for life. Im very proud of the U.S. Army, because this is clearly a case of the Army standing up to all the pressure the Obama administration could bring to bear, claims Lt. Col. Ralph Peters. The Obama administration, I can tell you, has been fighting tooth and nail to get the Army to cook the books and reduce the charge to AWOL or less. But, my Godat least some of the generals showed some backbone, stood up, and said, No, this really matters. When Bergdahl was brought back into the U.S. in May of last year in a controversial exchange with 5 Guantanamo Bay prisoners, the Obama administration told the story of a honorable soldier who had served with distinction. Shortly thereafter, his fellow men in uniform started speaking out about the true character of the lost Sgt. So the bottom line, its not about Bergdahl, its about a greater principle that you cannot just abandon your post in the face of the enemy, Peters concluded. If the Army were not to take action, they would probably see an increase in cases of desertion and soldiers going AWOL. What do you think? Do you support the Armys decision to move forward with charges? 
1	Finishing off the judicial pragmatist with his signature Flying Hammer Of Precedent, John Roberts reportedly dove from atop the Supreme Court bench Tuesday and delivered a final knockout blow to Stephen Breyer to retain the title of Chief Justice. Its all over! John Roberts is the undisputed head of the judicial branch! said Supreme Court law clerk Jonathan Urick, adding that Roberts had maneuvered the dazed Breyer into position after hitting him with a flurry of dissenting chops, an Atomic Gavel Drop, and the punishing Procedural Powerslam. What a battle! They were neck and neck right until the very end. Both men were bloodied and stumbling around the courtroom. But in the end, Breyer was worn down by the Habeas Corpus Choke. Sources confirmed the brawl was the most entertaining Supreme Court matchup since Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg popped out from behind a marble column and smashed Scalia with a steel folding chair. 
3	Feds Ramp Up REAL ID Bullying TacticsBy Michael Maharrey On Oct. 13, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sent letters to five states denying their request for a time extensions to bring their drivers licenses in compliance with REAL ID. That means that in 2018, residents of Oklahoma, Kentucky, Maine, Pennsylvania and South Carolina may find themselves on a virtual no-fly list. They will need to have alternate ID, such as a passport, in order to clear TSA screening. The five states join Minnesota, Missouri and Washington, already under the DHS gun. The agency denied those states extension requests late last year. In practice, REAL ID co-opts the states into creating a national ID system. The federal government has no constitutional authority to mandate such a thing. The feds resurrect these bully tactics every couple of years, and has done so since Pres. George W. Bush signed REAL ID into law in 2005. Instead of following through on threats the feds simply keep extending their deadlines. Under the act, all 50 states were supposed comply with the federal law by 2009. But, states rebelled against REAL ID for several reasons, including privacy concerns and the fact that Congress didnt provide any funding for the mandates it expects states to implement. Some states passed laws expressly prohibiting implementation of the act. To date, 27 states remain non-compliant, nullifying the national ID system in effect. According to the Washington Times, the DHS letter sent to Kentucky asserted the state has not committed to meeting all remaining requirements and has not provided adequate justification for continued noncompliance. Earlier this year, Gov. Bevin responded to public pressure and vetoed a bill passed by the legislature to bring the commonwealth into compliance. Instead of telling the DHS to go jump into a deep lake, Kentucky officials whined. Its disappointing that the federal government is basically turning a blind eye to recent progress weve made in improving our systems, Kentucky Department of Vehicle Regulation commissioner John-Mark Hack told the Washington Times. He went on to insist the state will continue working to meet the requirements. According to the Washington Times article, most of the state in compliance havent actually met all of the laws requirements. The Identity Project spokesman Edward Hasbrouck said few of the 23 states on the feds compliant list have provide access to information contained in their motor vehicle database via electronic access to all other states. Its a game of chicken, its a game of intimidation, and very little of it has to do with actual requirements or actual deadlines, Hasbrouck said. Its a game of chicken states can win. Do you really think the federal government wants to deal with the political fallout of keeping millions of Americans from getting on airplanes? State officials should continue to refuse to implement REAL ID. At the same time, they been to aggressively make the case the case against the national ID system. Then let the feds follow through on their threats to bar people from commercial flights (they wont). Let the DHS explain to the people why theyre keeping people off airplanes in order impose an expensive, unconstitutional, unfunded mandate that threatens their privacy. My guess is it wont fly.

These folks are the same who re reluctant to pursue Voter Machine, KILLARY running for President has nothing to do with voter ID issues. I wondered why the DHS website kept changing their implementation deadline of air travel restrictions with the Real ID. Last year they had it on their schedule to require it for air travel no sooner than 2016 but the year before that it had stated by January of 2016 They keep changing it. Now I no why. https://www.dhs.gov/real-id-public-faqs They have completely redesigned their site since I last visited in January Stasi police state operation.Homeland Security. Jawohl mein 0.01% Fuhrers of the 4th Riech As a matter of FACT, DHS is committing DOMESTIC TERRORISM by making threats to COERCE a CHANGE in the political views of the States. You pay $BILLION$ for homeland security but it is NEVER around. Where are the SELF PROCLAIMED heros of Homeland Security that should be arresting the DOMESTIC TERRORISTS who are using violence and the threat of violence in the furtherance of their political aims . which is the exact definition of TERRORISM ?! Under the USAPATRIOT Act, violence or threats of violence to coerce a change in political views is defined as an act of terror. Dont worry, chump is going to stop all this.not. 
1	Whether she's off running errands, meeting friends for drinks, or just relaxing in her apartment after work, local woman Amanda Chapmans hair is always wet, sources reported Wednesday. 'It's usually wettest in the morning, but even in the middle of the day it looks as if she just got out of the shower,' said cubicle mate James Oakley, adding that hes never once seen Chapman with dry hair since they started working together two years ago. 'At first I thought maybe she was going to the gym at lunch and washing her hair afterward, but nope, I've gone to grab a sandwich with her a couple times and somehow it just stays wet. You'd think it would dry off by the end of the day, especially when its sunny out, but it never does.' At press time, Chapman's hair was wet. 
3	Pentagons 2016 Defense Budget: $1.6 Billion for a Proxy Army Against RussiaBy Melissa Dykes In the 2016 defense budget, hundreds of millions of dollars funds that could be spent improving America for Americans are openly going to train and arm rebel forces in Iraq, Syria and Ukraine in what amounts to little more than a thinly veiled proxy war with Russia (and a payday for American defense contractors). Via RT: Some $600 million has been earmarked for a program to support the appropriately vetted Syrian rebels, fighting against both the government in Damascus and Islamic State (IS, also known as ISIS and ISIL). Section 1225 of the NDAA allocates $531.5 million directly to the Syria Train and Equip program, and directs an additional $25.8 million to the US Army and $42.8 million to the US Air Force, to cover the costs of their participation. Appropriately vetted? Vetted by whom? Vetted by John McCain, pictured here with terrorists some of those appropriately vetted rebels even he accidentally refers to as ISIS? What did they get out of the $500 million Obama asked for last year? You know the $500 million boondoggle he said he was skeptical of from the beginning when he asked for the half a bil to fund it? Oh yeah, thats right, only four or five Syrian fighters. The rest, we are told, have defected. Many to ISIS. Lets see. It looks like another $715 million will fund the train-and-equip program in Iraq You know, 62 nations (including the European Union and the Arab League) are part of the U.S.-led coalition against ISIS. At least 11 member states have been bombing Iraq and Syria supposedly to fight ISIS (and not, ahem, to topple Assad or anything) for over a year now. And yet, somehow, magically, the undeclared war just keeps getting extended as they A) havent appeared to make a dent even though the Pentagon has sent 4,500 troops to Iraq (whose boots are somehow not on the ground) and they are comprised of what are supposed to be some of the most sophisticated militaries in the world as B) ISIS has only gained ground and gotten stronger. Gee. Why do you suppose that is? (Insert sarcastic tone appropriate for this rhetorical question.) The terrorists are driving around in a giant fleet of relatively brand new Toyotas, for crying out loud. At least US officials are finally bothering to ask Toyota whats up with that. This part of the bill is officially called the STRATEGY FOR THE MIDDLE EAST AND TO COUNTER VIOLENT EXTREMISM. Some strategy. On top of that, the bill also sets aside $300 million to Kiev for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, RT reports: The bill instructs the Pentagon to coordinate with the State Department to provide appropriate security assistance and intelligence support, including training, equipment, and logistics support, supplies and services, to military and other security forces of the Government of Ukraine. Lawmakers have allocated no less than $50 million for Lethal assistance such as anti-armor weapon systems, mortars, crew-served weapons and ammunition, grenade launchers and ammunition, and small arms and ammunition. RT points out in this section that when lawmakers wrote other security forces, they kept it pretty vague, never explaining who exactly that means. But at least amendments to this years bill would finally outlaw the training and arming of Ukraines notorious paramilitary neo-Nazi Azov battalion which America had previously been funding. Azov has been described nottobut by US lawmakers as a fascist and openly neo Nazi group, and yet, the government has knowingly been using taxpayer dollars to fund them, while the US media pretends to ignore the war atrocities theyve committed over there against people who voted 90%+ for Ukrainian President Yanukovych, overthrown by the US with the help of said Nazis to put in a US-backed puppet government so they can screw with Russia and give seats on the Board of Directors of the largest private Ukrainian gas producer to people like Vice President Joe Bidens son. Russia with a look that could probably only be described as: reportedly hailed the decision as better late than never. And in other news, this story wont even get into the US foreign aid funds going to, say, Bolivia in an attempt to overthrow President Evo Morales Someone in the comments section of that article someone wanted more proof that there is an active campaign against Morales. Are you serious? Not even counting suspected attempts, the U.S. government on record was personally responsible for at least seven coups confirmed between 1953 and 1973 alone. one point six billion dollars As average American citizens, do you think we have a say in any of this? No. Not really. And yet, for some strange reason, people continue to vote for president every four years as if thats somehow ever going to magically change anything ever.

1	According to attendees at a rally held in Columbus' Capitol Theatre Monday, a John McCain supporter in his early 30s was envied and admired by onlookers for wearing an original navy blue 'McCain 2000' T-shirt with a peeling logo, frayed neckline, and several holes in the sleeves. 'When I saw his shirt, I was like, 'No way! That's totally vintage!'' said 24-year-old David Bennett, noting that it was not a pre-distressed 'McCain 2000' shirt like the ones available at Urban Outfitters. 'This guy's been a McCain fan since the beginning. He said the campaign kickoff speech in Nashua in '99 was fucking mind-blowing.' Sources reported that the hip McCain backer knew all the words to the Arizona senator's speeches, and silently mouthed McCain's entire energy policy while waving a cigarette lighter. 
3	Generation Nonsense: Over-Entertained, Under-Educated, and DistractedBy Kip Louder Today it is very popular for people to focus on the importance of what children eat and how nutrition is important for the proper development of their bodies. The effects of junk food are substantial in a childs life. Yet not enough attention is directed toward what is being fed to the minds of our youth. Meaningless entertainment, instead of judicious messages, dominates today. A constant barrage of nonsense influences children. The media resorts to cartoons that portray vomit as entertainment, books with intentionally poor grammar about an underwear-wearing super hero, and repugnant stories about a farting dog, highlighting and celebrating stupidity and meaningless trivia that hold absolutely no importance in life. This is what many refer to as Mind Garbage. An immature ploy of potty humor seems to have replaced witty humor. Junk food for the mind is unquestionably accepted and often used as a distraction for children because of parents busy and stressful lives. Bored and unmotivated children tend to desire entertainment over engagement in learning. In todays Age of Information true knowledge is scarce, and children are overwhelmed with foolish stories based on mindless material with little or no value. Many people are quick to repeat the familiar saying, Reading nonsense books is better than reading nothing at all! This expresses apathy towards childrens literature (take what you can get). The more parents and other consumers express apathetic attitudes toward childrens books, the more publishers will publish books devoid of thought-provoking material. We must ask ourselves, What are these books teaching our children? Is the fact that they are reading more important than what they are consuming psychologically? Would you sit a child in front of a TV and say, What matters most is that he is attentive to whats on the television,? The focus of many popular stories today is centered on the dishonorable character, opposed to the virtuous character. We need to address what children are absorbing and determine its value for the present and the future. Many books train children to think in fallacious or illogical ways. These books do not present problems objectively or logically. Instead, an authority figure directs what the children think and say. I believe we need to encourage children to think as individuals. Children must be made aware of the responsibilities of thinking for oneself and exercising the right to express oneself as an individual. The nature of mainstream media promotes absurd behavior which, in turn, becomes the social norm for children. Instead of children developing discipline, vocabulary, patience, curiosity, and a sense of wonder, they are developing selfishness, greed, vanity, and narcissism. Children are guided towards the questions of who, what, when and where, but unfortunately they are not encouraged to focus on why and how? Schools tend to emphasize rote memorization of factual information rather than providing an intellectual challenge. Some might argue that children are reading at earlier ages today. But the level of reading is declining. Alarming research has shown teenagers use fewer than 800 words a day, when according to recent surveys, they know an average of 40,000 words. Popular books have simpler sentence structure, fewer and shorter words, and a simpler vocabulary. Currently there is a fad dubbed Kiddie Lit whereby popular classics are rewritten with simpler language to appeal to children. This is a blatant insult to their intelligence. Dissecting the so-called hard words does our children a disservice. We are standing witness to the dilution of childrens literature and the subtle dumbing-down of future generations. As a community, it is our duty to consider the implications of watering down literature for children. I say we become more active and speak out as opposed to shaking our heads in the future and thinkingWeve lost another generation. Dora the Explorer is the best example of a childrens show that disproves the literary fallacy that certain words are too hard for children to comprehend and verbalize. It is accepted and celebrated in our society that Dora, the fictional explorer, helps children develop a Spanish vocabulary with words like cuidado, lo hicimos, las estrellas, vamonos, and la familia, but at the same time we believe English words like luminous, famished, bewilderment, and deceive are too complex for children to understand. In truth, society expects little of youth and, in turn, provides little care and support for them. Children today experience a sense of being powerless, undervalued and incapable of extraordinary achievements. Often their personal interests are overlooked as they are steered toward the next big trend. Careful reflection is pushed to the wayside in order to meet busy schedules. Education should not be a laundry list of skills to check off in boxes. Education needs to be appropriate for the child, family, culture and community where they live. The system should embrace critical thinking, logic, and deductive reasoning. We are creating a society that is over-entertained, under-educated, and distracted, exclaims Nathan Janes from his studio near the coast of Lake Erie. Janes, a writer, artist, and social critic living in Port Clinton, Ohio, is creating a book that will enrich and expand the vocabulary of children, encourage them to exercise reasoning, and ask them contemplate the virtues of morality. His book, Kingfisher and Wren, will be a collection of verses that shares valuable knowledge for children, and reinforces the knowledge in adults, about the tenets of courage, perseverance, responsibility, self-discipline, honesty, and love. Funding opportunities for Kingfisher and Wren are currently available on Kickstarter.com. It is my hope that Kingfisher and Wren will become an enduring treasury of literature that everyone will enjoy. Janes also points out, One of the biggest threats is todays on-demand childrens television programming. Its possible children will rely on instant gratification instead of learning at a normal pace. When I was a child in the early 1980s, childrens programming was available a couple hours in the morning before school, a couple hours after school and Saturday morning. Today, we live in a world were households have personal libraries of DVD/Blue-ray media for the children. In addition, cable TV and satellite run cartoons and childrens programming twenty four-seven. With advancements in technology, you can instantly stream cartoons shows to your TV and hand held devices with the help of service providers, such as Netflix, Hulu, and Redbox anytime you like. Nathans observations serve as a warning. Research shows that the number of parents choosing to read childrens bedtime stories is declining. Stories beginning with once upon a time provided an opportunity for parents to bond with their children. Now reading to children before they go to sleep is dramatically declining in popularity. Two of the top reasons for this decline are stress and lack of time, but many parents will admit that using the TV remote to pacify their children in order to lull them into sleep is a much easier option. Television viewing can discourage and replace reading because it requires less thinking and more watching. Reading, however, plays an important role in healthy development. Children whose families have the TV on constantly exhibit lack of interest in reading as well lower-level reading skills. Studies by researcher Herbert Krugman have shown that within thirty seconds of watching television, brain waves switch from predominantly beta wavesindicating alert and conscious attentionto predominantly alpha wavesindicating an unfocused, receptive lack of attention. While watching TV, the mind experiences what is known as brain drain, the process of turning your mental state into a blank, empty nothingness. Researchers postulate that watching television is similar to staring at a blank wall for several hours. By simply turning off the television and reading, our brains enter into a beta state linked to logical and critical thinking. Philosophers believe philosophical enquiry can significantly improve the quality of critical consciousness in our youth. Children need encouragement to express their individuality. Our first priority should be to promote critical thinking in children. Children face the disquieting threat of deferring what they truly believe in order to conform to the mainstream media views. As children grow and begin to question the world around them, the media works to subvert this natural inquisition, teaching them to become more passive in their behavior and discouraging questioning. John F. Kennedy said, Children are the worlds most valuable resource and its best hope for the future. It is true. Children are innocent and their minds fertile. Through proper nurturing and supervision, their discoveries will guide us to a brighter tomorrow. Through adults cultivating a fertile path in their minds, children will begin to gain knowledge, wisdom, and insight, as opposed to idiocy and nonsense. The groundwork for imparting good virtues, values and morals must be created and supported or posterity will increasingly wane. As the Spectacled Eider from Kingfisher and Wren would say, Let us plant the seed of intellect so that it flourishes within children, helping them to reach their full potential.

This feature becomes apparent during the 16/17c from Shakespeares comedies. During previous eras it can reasonably be presumed that the same feature existed during their infancy. From the beginning of the Industrial Age of the 19c, society has gone through considerable change the pace of which has accelerated faster than any other period in history. What is occurring today is part of the continuum of this alacrity of change. It is manifest that the young, who go through life with the generation of their previous decade and that too of their past decade, need to adapt to the mors of their contemporaries which differs considerably to that of other generations. Shakespeare highlighted this aspect in his poem, The Seven Ages of Man. The young of society need the freedom to grow and develop; restrictions are like weeds that hinder their development. We each learn to adapt to the culture in which we find our self, and we learn only from our contemporaries from the instant we start to socialise. Education also happens to teach ignorance and is the hot-bed of snobbery in society. Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep and doesnt know where to find them; leave them alone, and theyll come home, wagging their tales behind them.

Inside sources say Cyrus, best known for his 1992 hit 'Achy Breaky Heart,' will argue that a single-payer system places health care in its rightful context as a right of all Americans rather than a privilege doled out on the basis of ability to pay. The hunky, denim-clad Cyrus, who for years had remained silent on single-payer health care, is also expected to finally reveal his much-conjectured stance on campaign-finance reform. 
2	Liberal Student Claims Nude Bras Are Totally Racist Because Of THIS This is yet another example of how overboard our country is going in an attempt to be politically correct. In a recent op-ed published in The Oklahoma Daily, nude colored garments are racist. At least, thats what one University of Oklahoma student is claiming. Imagine this: you are a young African American woman who has run to the local department store to grab a nude colored bra to wear under a sheer outfit, say a game-day dress or a work interview blouse, the article begins. But when you get to the store there is no nude lingerie, at least not for you. That doesnt seem fair, does it? the article continues. While I am not incredibly well-versed on the complicated nature of womens undergarments, I felt compelled to look into this unfair practice. Why dont companies sell nude garments for all skin types? Of course, as one commenter pointed out, there are bras for every single color in my wardrobe, including brown What do you think of this students argument? 
1	The sweet, intoxicating aroma of fuel exhaust has bewitched residents of Arcola, Ohio for years. This winter, those residents will pay homage to the source of that scent when the town hosts its rst Municipal Bus Pageant. Scheduled to take place in mid-February, the Bus Pageant promises to be spectacular. Arcola mayor Alfred Krauss said in a nationally televised news address. Connoisseurs of city bus travel know that the Arcola Mass Transit system boasts the loveliest bus eet, and also lays claim to the least bus-related deaths and mental-illness-related mucous slippage. The opening ceremony, to be held at the Municipal Garages, will feature a solemn blessing of the buses by Bishop Richard Freehley. Noted area lounge singer Wayne Suavee will debut a new composition written especially for the day, entitled Drive On To Romance. A promedade following the ceremony will feature every Arcola bus in a continuous convoy through the citys industrial district. Scheduled to appear as the pageants head judge is Dean Frinisd, the guy who sits in front of the bus and talks to himself. When asked for commentary on the pageant, Frinisd said Bitch! You bitch! Lie to me, will you? You bitch! Bus Operations Chief and Pageant organizer Warren Ludlow said. Hes been a loyal passenger for over two decades and has helped push the Arcola bus system into the 90s. To christen the lead bus in the promenade, Frinisd will defecate in his trousers, scoop out a handful of his feces and use it to spell the word bitch on the side of the bus. The Bus Pageant ceremony will take place in the parking lot of event co-sponsor Bendermans Slaughterhouse. There, the panel of nine judges will be given the difcult task of choosing Arcolas Liveliest Bus. The winning vehicle will get a soapy water scrubdown and a coupon good for a discounted oil change at any Sir Waxer outlet. Competition will be held in four major categories. In the Talent Competition, busses will be judged for most skillful right turn. In the Chassis Competition, busses will parade before judges without their exterior frames, revealing the alluring inner-workings of their recoiling parts and motors. In the essay category, drivers will be asked this years special theme question: How will you make the world a better place for our children through bussing. And the Evening Gown Competition, busses will be elegantly draped with an attractive, rust-resistant tarp. Other features of the judging include Best Vandalism and Best Viscous Floor Covering. After the pageant, a number of city bus stops will host a series of bus-related events. At the stop at Fourth and Main, a contest will be held to see who will stand around and wait the longest. Last years winner, May Rundel, waited for 73 hours before collapsing of exposure and dehydration. The stop under the Tartan Avenue viaduct will house a Virtual Bussing display, which will utilize interactive computerized video to simulate actual bus routes. The program will allow people to experience a detailed facsimile of a bus ride, complete with images of Petes Guns, Buzzs Liquor, the Tool Museum, and other Arcola landmarks. Ludlow said. Of course, it will never beat the real thing. In the end, the Municipal Bus Pageant will be not about the attractiveness of a single bus, but a celebration of all things mass transit. The people love Arcola Municipal Bus, and Arcola Municipal Bus loves the people, Ludlow said. Who among us hasnt been lulled to sleep by the steady rocking of our buses as they plow their furrow across the dark night? Who can forget their childhood excitement when they yanked the bell-pull for the rst time? Or the mustachioed smile of the kindly driver, and the perky sound of his paper punch perforating a transfer? The Bus Pageant will bring these simple joys to everyone. Ludlow went on to stress that smoking, eating, drinking, and the playing of loud music would not be allowed at any time during the celebration.

Its not surprising that he was very quick to change his opinion on this. He doesnt seem to really be sure about anything these days. And when he is, its never in the best interest of our country. Now hes working with a new magazine, Out, and has agreed to be their representative. He is now starring on the front page.

3	Too Big To Fail Is Now Bigger Than Ever BeforeMichael Snyder What this means is that the health of JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley is more critical to the U.S. economy than ever before. If they were too big to fail back in 2008, then now they must be too colossal to collapse. Without these banks, we do not have an economy. The six largest banks control 67 percent of all U.S. banking assets, and Bank of America accounted for about a third of all business loans by itself last year. Our entire economy is based on credit, and these giant banks are at the very core of our system of credit. If these banks were to collapse, a brutal economic depression would be guaranteed. Unfortunately, as you will see later in this article, these banks did not learn anything from 2008 and are being exceedingly reckless. They are counting on the rest of us bailing them out if something goes wrong, but that might not happen next time around. Just before the financial crisis hit, Wells Fargo Co. had $609 billion in assets. Now it has $1.4 trillion. Bank of America Corp. had $1.7 trillion in assets. Thats up to $2.1 trillion. And the assets of JPMorgan Chase Co., the nations biggest bank, have ballooned to $2.4 trillion from $1.8 trillion. We are witnessing a consolidation of the banking industry that is absolutely stunning. Hundreds of smaller banks have been swallowed up by these behemoths, and millions of Americans are finding that they have to deal with these banking giants whether they like it or not. Even though all they do is move money around, these banks have become the core of our economic system, and they are growing at an astounding pace. The following numbers come from a recent CNN article -The assets of the six largest banks in the United States have grown by 37 percent over the past five years. -The U.S. banking system has 14.4 trillion dollars in total assets. The six largest banks now account for 67 percent of those assets and the other 6,934 banks account for only 33 percent of those assets. -Approximately 1,400 smaller banks have disappeared over the past five years. -JPMorgan Chase is roughly the size of the entire British economy. -The four largest banks have more than a million employees combined. -The five largest banks account for 42 percent of all loans in the United States. As I discussed above, without these giant banks there is no economy. We should have never, ever allowed this to happen, but now that it has happened it is imperative that the American people understand this. The power of these banks is absolutely overwhelming One third of all business loans this year were made by Bank of America. Wells Fargo funds nearly a quarter of all mortgage loans. And held in the vaults of JPMorgan Chase is $1.3 trillion, which is 12% of our collective cash, including the payrolls of many thousands of companies, or enough to buy 47,636,496,885 of these NFL branded toaster ovens. Thanks for your business! A lot of people tend to focus on many of the other threats to our economy, but the number one potential threat that our economy is facing is the potential failure of the too big to fail banks. As we saw in 2008, when they start to fail things can get really bad really fast. And as I have written about so many times, the number one threat to the too big to fail banks is the possibility of a derivatives crisis. Former Goldman Sachs banker and best selling author Nomi Prins recently told Greg Hunter of USAWatchdog.com that the global economy could implode and have serious ramifications on the financial systems starting with derivatives and working on outward. You can watch the full video of that interview right here. And Nomi Prins is exactly right. Just like we witnessed in 2008, a derivatives panic can spiral out of control very quickly. Our big banks should have learned a lesson from 2008 and should have greatly scaled back their reckless betting. Unfortunately, that has not happened. In fact, according to the OCCs latest quarterly report on bank trading and derivatives activities, the big banks have become even more reckless sincethe last time I reported on this. The following figures reflect the new information contained in the latest OCC report JPMorgan Chase Citibank Bank Of America Goldman Sachs That means that the total exposure that Goldman Sachs has to derivatives contracts is more than 371 times greater than their total assets. How in the world can anyone say that Goldman Sachs is not being incredibly reckless? And remember, the overwhelming majority of these derivatives contracts are interest rate derivatives. After climbing rapidly for a couple of months, the yield on 10 year U.S. Treasury bonds has stabilized for the moment. But if that changes and interest rates start going up dramatically again, that is going to be a huge problem for these too big to fail banks. And I know that a lot of you dont have much sympathy for the big banks, but remember, if they go down we go down too. These banks have been unbelievably reckless, but when they fail, we will all pay the price. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

1	Noting that the rampant problem has devastated rosters across the league, representatives from the National Basketball Players Association demanded an increased referee presence in high-foul areas, sources confirmed Friday. Something has to be done to crack down on all the foul-ridden sections of the court, and the only solution is having more referees out there to combat this issue head-on, said NBPA executive director Michele Roberts, adding that the league must immediately position additional officials in the low post area, which has become a hotspot for personal, technical, and flagrant fouls. We cant let this situation get any worse than it already is. Weve seen too many instances of power forwards and shooting guards getting hacked out there, and there are certain parts of the paint where players are too scared to even drive. Its absolutely unacceptable. Roberts added that the NBA needs to implement a zero-tolerance policy toward repeat offenders who are guilty of committing multiple loose-ball fouls in a single game.

Hardy Sunday indicated that his major weakness is a hankering for Piggly Wiggly-brand certified angus beef boneless rib-eye steaks, now just $4.99 a pound. 'J.J. is very strong when it comes to purchasing three Ole El Paso Mexican Dinner Kits for $5, but he's struggled lately with Golden Flake-brand potato chips, as he hasn't bought a single bag since last August,' said FSN North play-by-play announcer Brian Anderson, reading from the onscreen scouting report. 'Perhaps [opposing Cardinals pitcher] Braden Looper can take advantage of the fact that J.J. does not like Tyson breaded chicken fingers.' After Hardy grounded out to third base, Anderson called it a textbook case of Ronco vermicelli being on sale for 69 cents. 
2	Nations First Sanctioned Satanists Ceremony In History As if you need another example to prove that Christian values are almost non-existent in this country, the Satanic Temple of Detroit recently held a ceremony on the steps of the state capitol in Lansing, MI. Reports indicate that this was the nations first state-sanctioned satanic ceremony in history. This comes at a time when Americans are criticized for saying things like Merry Christmas. Now, its okay to celebrate Satan? This is just ridiculous, and under a President who claims to be a Christian himself. This would never happen under real leadership. Obama is just turning a blind eye. What do you think? Do we need someone with strong values in the White House?

1	Mere weeks after Vitaminwater launched its wildly popular Make Boring Brilliant ad campaign, Americans everywhere are reportedly at a loss to explain the boundless creative talent of the marketing visionaries currently promoting the beverage. Every ad they put out is just so funnyhow do they keep coming up with this stuff? 37-year-old New York resident Dan Swardzke said Thursday, echoing the responses of people across the nation who agreed there was definitely some serious genius going on in the advertisements. Id love to know more about how they come up with their material. You watch some of their stuff and you think, Man, I wish Id come up with that myself! They are truly the masters of modern comedy. At press time, sources confirmed that Swardzke had just seen the most recent of the ads and elatedly shouted, Oh my God, they did it again! 
2	Trump Exposes Dark, DIRTY Secret Of The GOP... They Are Panicking One of the pillars of GOP front-runner Donald Trumps campaign has been that he is an outsider, with the freedom to disrupt politics as we know it. He has emphasized the fact that he cannot be paid off or strong-handed into the status quo by the establishment. Now, were seeing something that has never happened before. Establishment forces from both key parties have aligned to prevent Trump from securing the GOP nomination or the White House. This has taken shape as the #NeverTrump movement. During a recent campaign rally in Wisconsin, Trump addressed those groups directly. You know what these are? he asked the audience. These are establishment people that dont want to see it happen because theyre all on the trough; theyre all making a lot of money. I dont even think in many cases they care who wins; they want to keep it going. If they worked this hard to stop Obama, Obama wouldnt have had a chance, you know that? Trump added. Trump then went on to add that more people are proposing a contested convention, where the nomination could be pulled away from the clear elected front-runner and given to someone else. Let me unpresidential just a little while longer, and maybe Ill be a little unpresidential as I beat Hillary, because ugh, Trump went on. Well beat Hillary so badly. What do you think of Trumps comments? 
3	Drug War is Crumbling: Town Converts Prison into Cannabis Grow FacilityBy Justin Gardner They also voted for ballot initiatives to let the citizens decide if the town should host cannabis dispensaries, and if all these operations should be taxed. Coalinga stands to join its fellow California town, Adelanto, in restoring freedom and medical advancement, as well as generating revenue. As we reported in February, Adelanto, a former prison town, turned to cannabis cultivation to save its economy. David McPherson, who advises Adelanto and about 160 other cities on tapping into the cannabis market, was present at the Coalinga city council meeting to promote the plan. McPherson reportedly drew gasps from the crowd when he confirmed that Adelantos revenue projections from cannabis facilities are more than their general fund. Taxation should not be the driving force behind legalization, but at least here it is helping to end one form of prohibition. In 1996, California became the first state to legalize medical cannabis. Residents of Coalinga describe having to drive more than an hour to the nearest legal dispensary, or buying it from people selling out of their homes or cars. Coalinga would not only relieve this burden on citizens and provide the highest quality medical cannabis products, but it would also create jobs. Ocean Grown Extracts, the company planning to use the former prison to grow cannabis for oil extract, would provide 55 jobs in the first year of business. While assuring council members that every part of their process is closely tracked, company President Casey Dalton-Schutt noted that the former prison is an ideal location. She explained that every seed they plant has a bar code on it that is tracked throughout cultivation, manufacture and delivery. The packages sent out are locked and can only be opened by the receiving dispensary not the delivery driver or other employees. Dalton-Schutt said that Ocean Grown plans to purchase Claremont and would assume full liability for any problems with federal officials. Should it be raided which she and McPherson believe to be extremely unlikely the city would not incur a financial loss. She added that Claremont was an ideal location. Many security measures razor-wire fences, gates, security checkpoints, surveillance are already in place. Coalinga itself is right off Interstate 5 and centrally located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, she said. Naturally, there were some residents at the council meeting who didnt like the idea of their town growing and selling medical cannabis. One dissenter called the cannabis cultivation efforts a sales pitch that was too good to be true. She may not realize the potential that lies in being a pioneer in the cannabis cultivation industry. Other residents were more enlightened. Mary Raine, wife to a councilman, said, There are members of my family for whom medical marijuana has been a lifesaver. Ive been fact-checking and reading everything my husband does. Im a member of the faith community, and I am recommending this. Even police Chief Michael Salvador appears to be won over, saying, My mission is to keep the citizens safe, and I believe I can do that if the council moves forward with Ocean Grown. Momentum is growing around the country to stop filling jails with non-violent drug offenders. One measure of progress would be more jails becoming empty. What an inspiring trend it would be to turn these places of state-sanctioned misery into grow centers for a miraculous therapeutic plant.

3	Cops Now Using a New Device Allowing them to Steal Cash From Innocent Citizens Like an ATMBy Claire Bernish And its already in use. The Electronic Recovery and Access to Data Machine, known by the acronym ERAD, can scan your bank account and prepaid cards, giving OHP instant access to the balance and the funds if a trooper believes the money is tied to a crime. OHP rolled out 16 ERAD devices in May, and unsurprisingly, has already employed the technology. You dont even have to be charged with a crime to be a victim of these badge-wearing armed robbers which makes OHPs new ERAD device an astonishing prospect. Were gonna look for different factors in the way that youre acting, Oklahoma Highway Patrol Lt. John Vincent told local News 9. Were gonna look for if theres a difference in your story. If theres some way that we can prove that youre falsifying information to us about your business. What Vincent seems to be saying is OHP will try its damnedest to find a reason to rob you at gunpoint. If you can prove that you have a legitimate reason to have that money it will be given back to you. And weve done that in the past, Vincent added. This reasoning turns the very concept of innocent until proven guilty on its head. And State Sen. Kyle Loveless said cases where police abused this new system have already come to light, including single mothers, a cancer survivor who had their medication seized, a Christian band, and a number of other completely innocent people. Weve seen where the money goes and how its misspent, Loveless said. In fact, this is intensified policing for profit. News 9 obtained a copy of the contract between the state and ERAD Group, Inc., which shows Oklahoma paying $5,000 for the software and scanners, then 7.7 percent of all the cash the highway patrol seizes. But law enforcement obstinately claims this isnt about the money. I know a lot of people are just going to focus on the seizing money, Vincent stated the obvious. Thats a small thing thats happening now. The largest part that we have found the biggest benefit has been the identity theft, he added without further explanation. Controversy over civil asset forfeiture (CAF) surrounds the fact law enforcement is under no obligation to prove the property it seizes could in any way be tied to criminal activity. Once police have your property, most departments are free to essentially divvy it up amongst themselves. Countless cases dot headlines around the country evidence thousands of innocent people as victims of this financial terrorism perpetrated by the government. Police even managed to seize $53,000 from a Christian band, an orphanage, and a church. Earlier this year, one of the creators of CAF tellingly called for the program to be abolished and though it was briefly suspended, the Dept. of Justice allowed CAF to resume in April. Sen. Loveless feels a conviction should be necessary for police to seize money using ERAD, and plans to introduce legislation. If I had to err on the side of one versus the other, I would err on the side of the Constitution, he explained. And I think thats what we need to do. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. I suggest aiming for the head. These terrorists need to be destroyed. Cop Pigs are what they are? The pigs are on the loose. Despite what DECADES of communist pro-police state TV propaganda has told you, people only join the police so that they can break the law and get away with it. Period. There isnt an honest, law abiding cop on the force, theyre all in it to rob the tax cows blind and use them for target practice if they get uppity. Gotta serve the bankers by keeping the people all feared up Do some actual academic research on what communism is before you spout your mouth off about what your brain doesnt know. Communism is the marketing of a banker dictatorship to gullible, low information idiots who believe everything that a deadbeat who never worked an honest day in his life has to say. Go lick the boots of banker puppets like Marx elsewhere You really have no idea. Go read a book, please. Highlight of my day You really have no idea. Coming from a troll who confuses MARKETING with reality, this is rich! Go read a book, please I prefer factually based entertainment, not banker-inspired polemics that belong in the fiction section. Go study the collapse of the Soviet Union before peddling your insipid Marxist fairy tales. Good day You dont even realize the Soviet Union wasnt Marxist Communism, it was Leninism. You really dont get it. Oh for crying out loud, thats like saying It wasnt rape, it was sexual assault! Potato, potatoe, youre avoiding the facts while desperately clinging to your MARKETING points as if they somehow cancel out reality. I am done wasting my time talking with you Except Im not marketing Im trying to teach you some basic political science. The end-goal of Marxist Communism is NO government The end-goal of Marxist Communism is NO government THAT IS MARKETING FOR F*CKS SAKE!!!! Thats why Marxism has NEVER resulted in ANYTHING BUT a banker-driven DICTATORSHIP EVERYWHERE IT HAS BEEN APPLIED! People who want no government are ANARCHISTS, not communists or Marxists. Bakunin proved that distinction hundreds of years ago would be nice if YOU educated yourself instead of blindly flinging propaganda and claiming that its factual GASP YOU REALIZED THAT COMMUNISM EVENTUALLY LEADS TO ANARCHISM! The difference between Bakunin and Marx is HOW to dissolve the state. Marx believed the state should be used to dissolve itself AFTER socializing. GASP YOU REALIZED THAT COMMUNISM EVENTUALLY LEADS TO ANARCHISM! You really are a special kind of stupid, arent you? That has never happened, was never meant to happen and never will happen. Because people like you drink the Marxist marketing kool-aid and are incapable of studying history with any kind of discernment. The difference between Bakunin and Marx is HOW to dissolve the state. Wrong again. Bakunin said that Marxism would create a dictatorship and that government would never dissolve itself. He was right decades of communist dictatorships the world over exist as evidence. Next time you push banker fairy tales, be a good chap and ride in on your unicorn while doing so, mmmkay? So you admit that theory and execution are different? Marx NEVER intended for a dictator to take hold. Just because someone claims dictatorship in the name of some other idea DOES NOT make it that idea! Its the same thing as mass murderers calling themselves men of god. Once again for the conceptually challenged: Theory is the *marketing* used to promote the execution, which is the power grab that was intended all along. Period. No exceptional snowflakes can change hundreds of years of cold, hard facts. Communism ALWAYS ends in a brutal dictatorship. Always has, always will. Marx didnt give a sh*t about workers because he himself never was one; in fact he refused to even participate in raising his own children. He was a deadbeat who survived only because aristocrat bankers like Engels took pity on him and found him useful to craft their world domination ideology. The proletariat isnt ONE PERSON. Hes talking about the proletariat taking power and SEIZING THEIR OWN means of production. If the proletariat is in control, its ever so much more akin to a democracy where representatives (read, republic) cant hold power for themselves. Wearing a uniform and carrying weapons is just another excuse for extortion and theft, along with the misuse and abuse of official power that weve seen in the form of police brutality and abuse. For some reason, the US courts have rendered court decisions making it legal for police department to refuse to hire educated or intelligent candidates. Go figure. Not only do the police want the dumb and ignorant, they want the mean spirited and dishonest. I will stay out of Oklahoma. I have stopped going through Kansas and Connecticut as well. The US Constitution guarantees us that we are innocent until proven guilty. This is official theft, and every legislator in Oklahoma should be arrested for grand theft and thrown in state prisons. Despicable. The police departments dont want smart cops. There was a 60 minutes show about a guy that aced the cop test and he was rejected. He said they only hire cops with low IQ. I guess they dont question stupid or unjust orders. Another reason not to trust the banks. It is clear they are trying to collapse the system and take as many people with them as possible. Own physical gold and silver. I don think banks are trying to collapse the system, I think theyre just ignorant. Which is far worse. Wrong. Banks totally need to wipe clean their balance sheets. Too much junk debt that is not collectible. With a system collapse all those bad investment vehicles suddenly disappear and they can start over for another half-century of rapine greed and worship at the altar of Mammon. Since the mode of rationale, priorities, and values have not changed in the people, neither will the product of those rationalizations, misplaced priorities, and skewed values. If you can prove that you have a legitimate reason to have that money when I made a comment a few days ago about the roles of people and the police being reversed. they screamed at me like I was out of my mind, I simply finished by saying that all the good guys are inside and the really bad guys were wearing uniforms. does that not sound like reality to you all. Gee, with banks paying .25% interest my money is under my mattress, and I cut my credit cards to pieces 30 years ago. 0.25% interest! I wish. Real criminals would not put money in a bank account for they would have to recognize this to the tax man. Civil asset forfeiture in my recollection was ostensibly there to take money from drug dealers who would carry large amounts of cash which they could not account for the origin of. now, they want cash youre carrying AND your bank account. It is completely criminal and out of control. Your money is safer out of the bank. Civil asset forfeiture in my recollection was ostensibly there to take money from drug dealers who would carry large amounts of cash which they could not account for the origin of Thats the MARKETING the feds used to push the naked theft at gunpoint; considering how the Afghan war was fought to protect CIA heroin production, how the US military distributed heroin for the Golden Triangle during the Vietnam war and the CIA introduced crack cocaine into US inner cities, it is obvious that the US government is the biggest drug smuggler of them all. Notice how the feds cant account for trillions in taxpayer dollars gone missing. Still not clear on how they will scan your bank account? I assume it means thru your smart phone if you have online banking. I wont bank online and if you carry a smart phone it should have password which you are not required to give them. Have a camera in the car filming everything. Your bank account information is stored in the magnetic strips on your card. That is how its read at an ATM or register. Dont carry an ATM card either. Sorry. Only use banks to cash checks to pay bills. Welp youre probably safe then. This confiscation without compensation and without proof of a crime, is undemocratic, unethical, immoral and turns the idea of rule by law on its head. Im very surprised something like this is even Constitutional. Surely you jest. Unfortunately I dont, but thank you for the satire. States like Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Mississippi are definitely no go, if you are smart! Stay out of Tennessee and Kentucky too. and the other 44 too. Definitely Tennessee! Just another example of Americans being used as an ATM by government. Succinct and to the point! Civil asset forfeiture was unconstitutionally instituted to corrupt cops by tempting them to steal assets from anyone and place the financial burden of regaining your property legally through our corrupt judiciary. Had it been criminal asset forfeiture, the cops would have to go first go through the system and get a conviction. Its part of the NWO agenda, Yes, they are quite happy being backward. Not all of us are backward its not like this was something made law or a will of the people or anything. Actually, there was a bill that probably didnt pass to reign in civil forfeiture (authored by Loveless) this session. However if my whole family didnt live here I would be as far away from Oklahoma as I could get. Wait, and the people of Oklahoma arent storming the palace? You (and, sadly, us here in Canada) let them get away with it this far. now theyre going full out. Same with everything else, the elites are winning, step by step. until the will to truly fight is strong enough, were screwed, We have civil asset forfeiture here in Canada too, not to this extreme yet but if this starts a precedent, it could spread first throughout the US and then worldwide. Civil asset forfeiture was a horrific idea that should NEVER have been allowed to be put into practice. I was disturbed to find even here in Canada they have it. This is going to harm alot of people and it will spread. Attorneys need to go after the manufacturer of this system and drive them into bankruptcy. Now there is a good idea! Why are they doing this? It is part of the plan to bankrupt everyone except the elites. It is part of Agenda 21. If this is not checked this will be used to impoverish us all. Do you think it is a coincidence this is coming out at the same time as the cashless society? Dude If the Judas Class in D.C. hadnt raped my retirement, Id have left this NATION! Its like Oklahoma all over. Staying out of OK is a good start but if you got what they want.you are f**ked in any state of this brand-new kosher oligarchy. BlackJackk77 you just got 21. Nice sum up. Its all about Probable Cause . I wonder something (an unintended consequence of this) if when the police use this card scanner and they steal monies from your account and they reduce your balance too low for automatic withdrawals, then who will be responsible for the overdraft charges that banks love to keep re-assessing you with? Will the police department pay those overdraft fees, or is that yet another institution joining in on the rape of us? Police take one half and the bank takes the other. Sweet. and this from the article: If you can prove that you have a legitimate reason to have that money it will be given back to you. And weve done that in the past, Vincent added. Is MY MONEY IS PAYMENT FOR MY LABOR not legitimate enough? Liars, all of them. Is stealing a legitimate reason to take something that belongs to another? (I stole this so it legitimately becomes mine)? Will police be charged for possession of stolen property now? Who will charge them? Who will convict them? Who will fight them? ERAD=Electronic Recovery and Access Data Machine?!?!?!? Really??? More like WOW one of the SICKEST, most illegal things Ive heard cops doing latelyand thats a lot. cheers This can be stopped. Contact your congressional representative, and tell them to support Rep. James Sensenbrenners resolution, the Due Process Act (H.R. 5283). Do it TODAY! 
1	Thirty seconds after descending the stairs, Ken Bley, 41, announced he had no clue what he went downstairs for. 'I don't think it was to get something,' Bley said. 'I think it might have been to check on something.' Bley said that if he cannot recall his purpose in the next minute, he will return to the bedroom and try to reconstruct the train of thought that led to the mysterious task. 'I'm thinking it had something to do with the kitchen,' Bley said. 'I have this picture of the pantry junk-drawer in my mind.' 
1	Despite local married couple Jim and Nancy McFaddens recent decision to seek new romantic partners while still staying together, sources reported Monday that the rest of the worlds population is not exactly jumping at the chance to partake in the open relationship. No thanks, were good, 7.1 billion global inhabitants of every age, race, and sexual orientation reportedly said to the husband and wife of four years following word of their new romantic arrangement. We understand the offers out there but, yeah, were just going to take a pass on this one. According to reports, a few thousand international citizens were momentarily rethinking the proposition, before reading the couples respective Craigslist ads and saying Nah. 
1	Remarking upon the enormous caution she now takes before saying or doing anything in the presence of a loved one, local mother Sharon Powell, 64, told reporters Tuesday she knows any wrong move she makes could be interpreted by her family as a telltale sign of dementia. Powell claimed that even the simplest memory lapse, such as momentarily forgetting a distant relatives name or losing track of what day of the week it is, might cause her children to worry that her mental state is in decline, setting into motion an irreversible series of events that would end with her moving into an assisted-care facility. I make sure I place my keys in the exact same spot 100 percent of the time. And I always speak at a steady, even pacetoo fast and I might trip over a word, too slow and they might think Im struggling to come up with the right words. I have to be on top of my game every single day, because if I start slipping up, its only a matter of time before they put me in a home, said Powell, who explained that she keeps her calendar by her side whenever she speaks on the phone with family members so she can recall without hesitation the date and time of any upcoming appointment, social event, or anniversary when its brought up. I make sure I place my keys in the exact same spot 100 percent of the time. And I always speak at a steady, even pacetoo fast and I might trip over a word, too slow and they might think Im struggling to come up with the right words. Next week, Im helping with my grandson Bradleys ninth birthday, and I know that if I mess up one detail, if I get the wrong kind of frosting or forget the streamers, Im as good as gone, she added. The catalyst for Powells concerns was reportedly an incident last Christmas in which she mistook her sons cell phone for her own, accidentally dialing a number from it. While chastising herself for the small oversight, she noticed her son whispering something to her youngest daughter in the hallway and immediately wondered if they were discussing whether her blunder was a symptom of Alzheimers. Ever since, Powell said, she has altered her behavior to avoid any situation that puts her at risk of appearing confused or forgetful, including cleaning up the slightest signs of clutter, carefully familiarizing herself with the settings on her newly purchased microwave, and double-checking to make sure she hasnt left even one unpaid bill sitting on her kitchen counter. I manage well enough during calls with the kids, but Thanksgivings coming up and Im going to have to be on my toes for four straight days with everyone around, said Powell, who confirmed that, out of increasing fear that the error would be the one that does [her] in, she would be setting multiple timers so she could be absolutely certain she does not burn the turkey. If I so much as call my grandson by his fathers name in a moment of absentmindedness, there goes my independence. And if I dont happen to hear everything that one of my kids says to me, theres no way Im asking them to repeat itIll just be sticking to a general response of Thats nice, making sure I maintain eye contact and deliver those words with confidence. Maybe I should leave some finished crossword puzzles lying around for people to find just in case, she continued. Powell went on to state that she must be neatly dressed and perfectly groomed at all times, as any slight inattention to personal care could arouse suspicions of a deteriorating mind. She also noted that after rolling her ankle last week, she avoided contact with her family for several days, fearing they would take her accident as proof that a cognitive impairment was causing her to lose her sense of balance, and that she was in danger of taking a more serious fall at any moment. Ive stopped driving with my kids, because I know a single wrong turn might get them talking about whether its time to take my license away, Powell said. The last time I went shopping with my daughters, I missed the exit to the mall, and I swear I saw Rebecca raise an eyebrow and exchange glances with Allison. I must be on pretty thin ice already, and one more slip-up could get me carted off to assisted-living. Regardless, though, its good for me to keep up these habits, she added. That way, when I actually start losing my senses, Ill already be really good at covering up for it. 
1	Recent reports show Al Qaeda has begun to edit their terrorist videos, using transitions to trim down long-winded screeds and remove the moment at the beginning of videos where the jihadist turns on the camera and then sits down in front of it. Does this signal Al Qaeda is gaining strength? 
1	Admitting it is 'enormously worried' some people are taking an interest in its emerging storylines this early in the season, the sport of college basketball made a statement Saturday urging fans and the media to ignore it until it is time to get excited. 'If you try to pay attention to me right now, I'm just going to seem like a mess. You should be invested in the NFL playoffs right now. That's what they're there for,' said the collegiate sport, known for delivering riveting, emotional March tournament games to viewers who have only recently remembered it exists. 'If you start to become attached to a team I'm setting up for a startling upset in the first round of my tournament, you will have nobody to blame but yourself.' College basketball went on to remind fans it puts a great deal of work into making each season dramatically satisfying, unlike college football, which just hands its championship to whichever school's boosters give it the most money that year. 
2	BREAKING: Hillary Finally Hit With Criminal Bombshell... Its Happening This week the Hillary Clinton campaign team once again went into panic mode after 296 pages of previously unreleased emails were released to the public. Now, experts claim that the correspondence contains at least three clear-cut cases in which Clinton broke the law by lying under other. Read this damning transcript from Western Journalism below to see just how serious this is: JUDGE ANDREW NAPOLITANO: Mrs. Clinton has said three times under oath, once in writing to a federal judge, quote under penalty of perjury is in the statement, twice under oath before the Benghazi Committee that she surrendered all of her work-related emails to the State Department pursuant to the State Departments request for them. The FBI found, according to Director Comey, thousands of work-related emails still on the server, not surrendered some of which she tried to destroy. This morning we have another 240 which were in the possession of Huma Abedin, her aide, which had not been surrendered. So we have three clear-cut instances of lying to tribunals; a federal judge, a congressional committee, all three times under oath. Do you think, dear Stuart, that she will be prosecuted for perjury? These are slam-dunk cases! Any of us, Ashley you or me would be prosecuted had we done this! Not shockingly, the mainstream media is not reporting on Clintons perjury, but rather Donald Trumps Second Amendment comments. NAPOLITANO: But is she so corrupt, is she so deceptive that when evidence supporting it comes out, we dont even consider it anymore? And this woman wants to be President of the United States! STUART VARNEY: Thats where we are. Thats exactly where we are. NAPOLITANO: Its a dreadful state of affairs when evidence of her corruption fails to shock and fails to make the front page. Hillary Clinton is a liar and a criminal. She needs to be kept far away from the White House. Do you agree? 
2	Military Generals Move To Arrest Obama After They Find Proof He Armed ISIS Apparently, President Obama has been accused of implementing a series of policies that has given rise to ISIS, and has also provided them with the arms they are now using in their brutal attacks against Christians and other minorities. Investigations reveal that at least some of the weapons being used by the terrorist organization are of U.S. manufacture. According to reports, the investigation was conducted by Conflict Armament Research, a small-arms research organization in London. The study included photographs that indicate that weapons were seized by Kurdish forces from militants in Iraq and Syria over a 10-day period in July. The group had reportedly confiscated significant quantities of M16 rifles and other weapons, that were manufactured right here in our country. The report concludes that the weapons most likely got into the hands of ISIS by Syrian fighters armed with the help of Saudi Arabia. That is in addition to the arms that were stolen upon the defeat of Iraqi army groups. Obamas support for Iraq, Libyan rebels, and Syrian moderates has ultimately resulted in the literal passing of the gun to our enemies. What do you think? Should Obama be held responsible for his actions? 
3	Fate Of Officer Who Shot Tied Dog And Fought Back a SmileAmanda Warren He lied and said the dog attacked him but eyewitness Eric Midkiff, the circulation manager at the Southwest Daily News, was able to counter that claim and said it appeared the officer was playing with the dog just before shooting it to death. He said the dog was acting friendly and he had seen the dogs tail wagging. Brandon opted to remain in Sulphur, even looking to temporarily rent and work there until full justice was achieved. Supporters are raising funds to fight the injustice and, like many hundreds of others traumatized this way, Brandon has set up a justice page for Arzy. A petition to dismiss Brian Thierbach has amassed over 7,000 signatures. Other support for Carpenter has been described by him as overwhelming. Rallies, t-shirts, car decals, pictures of pets supporting Arzy on Facebook, small business support, free services and an overall outpouring of help are ongoing. Before it was final, Thierbach handed in his resignation. Sulphur Police Chief Lewis Coats had said: Brandon Carpenter plans to keep going with his efforts. For him, its not about thinking badly of cops he doesnt its about raising awareness. He called the resignation,a couple steps in the right direction. He said: And this awareness does appear necessary; as one Reddit user points out, officer-dog shootings seem to be an area-wide issue. Resident Laura Martin points out that this is the third unnecessary officer-dog shooting this year in Sulphur. Furthermore, Thierbach was reprimanded for other incidents. There is also a small Facebook support page for Thierbach. The supporters seem to be going through mental acrobatics that imply justification for the incident or justification for him to have kept his job. I believe that when it comes to the incident, they are asking questions that wouldnt help the bigger issue thats rolling over the estimated thousands of people each year who lose their companions (even parakeets) this way. According to a friendof the officer, [Thierbach] wished things turned out differently. But how so? is what I wonder about that vague statement. The growing problem of LEOs unnecessarily killing pet dogs and the people who support it is deeply entrenched. One resignation doesnt begin to reshape it.

2	BREAKING: Fox News Host To Fired After He Does THIS On Live TV... Liberals FURIOUS True to character, liberals launched a campaign to get Fox News reporter Jesse Watters fired for a segment of interviews he did in Chinatown last week. Critics claim he mocked Asian Americans in a racist and unacceptable manner. The New York Times recently reported that activists and elected officials staged a protest outside of Fox News headquarters demanding that the host be fired. Even mayor Bill de Blasio commented on the segment, deeming it vile. Passing off this blatantly racist television segment as gentle fun not only validates racist stereotypes, it encourages them, Councilman Peter Koo said in a segment. The entire segment smacks of willful ignorance by buying into the perpetual foreigner syndrome. How is it, that in New York City in 2016, this is still O.K.? Short answer: Its not, and its unfortunate that Fox News needs to be reminded of that. The interviews aired as part of Watters World, a recurring segment on The OReilly Factor. While introducing the segment, Bill OReilly highlightedhow often China was mentioned during the first presidential debate. Watters took to Twitter to push back on the critics. What do you think? Are liberals being way too sensitive? Is this clearly meant to be a joke? 
3	Research: Insulin Kills Diabetics; Natural Substances Heal ThemSayer Ji A new study titled, Glucose-lowering with exogenous insulin monotherapy in type 2 diabetes: dose association with all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events, and incident cancer, renews concern over the harms caused by synthetic insulin in type 2 diabetics previously highlighted in a 2013 study that found double the death rate in type 2 diabetics on insulin therapy. Contrary to popular beliefs about the life saving value of synthetic insulin a belief cleverly inculcated by Big pharma over the past three decades bioidentical-sounding insulin brands such as Humulin (1978) and Humolog (1996) are less like human insulin in form and function than pig pancreas-derived forms, which they displaced from the market soon after being introduced (you can no longer buy pig-derive insulin in the U.S.). Originally produced from genetically modified yeast, synthetic insulins structure, and subsequent folding pattern (conformation) and function, radically diverge from the type of insulin our bodies produce naturally. For instance, one of the best-selling forms on the market today Lantus (insulin glargine [rDNA origin] injection), which is manufactured from Sanofi from GM engineered E. Coli, does not even have the same primary structure as human insulin: Insulin glargine differs from human insulin in that the amino acid asparagine at position A21 is replaced by glycine and two arginines are added to the C-terminus of the B-chain. Synthetic insulin is the pride and joy of the biotech industry, being the first successful product produced through recombinant DNA technology; a technology which would eventually take the world by storm through its use in developing most of the GM crops in our present-day Biotech/Big Chem owned agricultural model, and is now the basis for billions of dollars of products in the food, medical and chemical industries, with an untold vastitude of mostly unexplored health risks. GMO Insulin Accelerates the Demise of Type 2 Diabetics As we reported recently in an article titled, GMO Insulin Causes Type 1 Diabetes in Type 2 Diabetics, Study Finds, synthetic insulin produced through genetically modified organisms accelerates disease progression in type 2 diabetics, contributing to the condition known as double diabetes which is the development of type 1 (insufficient endogenous insulin) following unsuccessful treatment of type 2 (inability to respond to insulin) diabetes. This is all the more tragic considering that research on turmeric extract, ginger, and the Mediterranean diet, to name but a few natural alternatives, have shown that type 2 diabetes can be both treated and even reversed naturally. Additionally, type 1 diabetes, which is widely promoted as incurable by the dominant medical establishment, may be reversible through the stimulation of the regeneration of the insulin-producing beta cells within the pancreas and/or removal of the root causes of damage to the insulin-producing cells. See our article: 10 Natural Substances That Could Help Cure Type 1 Diabetes It All Depends on The Folding Pattern of Insulin (Conformation) Probably the most fatal error in the field of molecular biology over the past half century is the hypothesis known as the central dogma (1956, Francis Crick) is that all biologically/physiologically important information is located solely in the primary sequence of nucleic acid stored within the 3 billion base pairs that make up the DNA of our genome. According to this theory, when a complex protein like insulin is produced, RNA simply transcribes the information templated in the DNA to produce the structure of insulin: the insulin polypeptide (51 linearly attached amino acids), end of story. But nothing could be further from the truth. In order for a protein to assume its native, functional state (e.g. the insulin molecule in its fully folded 3D configuration) it must move through a practically infinite number of potential three-dimensional forms that it could randomly fold into to reach the desired, perfect form (known as Levinthals paradox). How does insulin, or any complex folded protein, get the information (literally to put form into) to do so? We simply dont know. But what we do know is that it must come from the outside, or above, which is what the field of epigenetics is dedicated to understanding. Also, it means one can not construct from the bottom up, as the pharmaceutical industry has attempted thus far, the thing itself. In other words, we know that while genetically modified yeast can produce a primary structure of 51 linearly connected amino acids similar to human insulin, it does not have the same folding secondary, tertiary and quaternary folding patterns and therefore can not perform the same functions in the body as the natural form. This could account for why insulin replacement and/or adjunct therapy, even though it may effectively lower blood sugar (the target determinant for drug efficacy), is still associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Said differently, for insulin replacement to work when there is a clear need based on deficiency, that is to say, for it to have a net health benefit, it must contain the correct information not only on the primary structural level, but on secondary, tertiary and quaternary levels of folding (conformation). Only the miracle of the human body, and as a close surrogate porcine insulin can produce the necessary, life sustaining and promoting end product. Admittedly, this is a confusing topic. For those with a more scientific/clinical bent, you can explore the subject further with this recently published analysis of synthetic insulins many possible variations as far as structure/function: Human insulin analogues modified at the B26 site reveal a hormone conformation that is undetected in the receptor complex. What Is A Diabetic To Do? None of what is written in this article should be misinterpreted as medical advice, or advice to self-treat or go off of medication or the medical supervision of ones physicians all of which could result in significant harm. We only wish to bring to the attention of the public and medical community alike what underreported scientific research clearly indicates about the potential risks of relying solely on pharmaceutical interventions to both manage and reverse the symptoms of diabetes. In order to alter the fatalistic trajectory of declining health, which is considered the norm within conventional thinking about diabetes, it is instructive to look for natural alternatives that have been vetted through clinical research Our ongoing indexing project here at Greenmedinfo.com has identified a wide range of natural interventions that have been shown to be promising through experimental, clinical and epidemiological research. First, our Health Guides section on Blood Sugar Disorders contains both the relevant research abstract sections, as well as article written for the layperson and medical professional to better ascertain the implications of the first-hand literature on complementary and alternative (CAM) approaches to blood sugar disorders. Of the dozens of relevant subtopics, our Type 2 Diabetes page contains over 350 study abstracts on over 180 natural substances studied to have therapeutic relevance to prevention or treatment of the condition. This section includes research on over 40 problem substances, e.g. statin drugs, pesticides, fructose, which contribute to worsening the condition, and 18 Therapeutic Actions, e.g. yoga, various dietary modifications, exercise, which prove that lifestyle changes can have deeply positive impacts on the condition. This research includes highly compelling studies, such as one published in 2013 in the American Diabetes Associations own authoritative journal Diabetes Care which found that a turmeric extract (curcumin) was 100% successful at preventing pre-diabetic patients from becoming diabetic over the course of a 9-month intervention. If a simple spice-based intervention can prevent the development of a life-threatening disease afflicting hundreds of millions worldwide, this is could be considered one of the most important medical discoveries of our time. Even more profound is the fact that the turmeric extract curcumin has been identified to have over 600 side benefits, with a history of thousands of years of safe use as both a food, spice and medicine. Consider also that newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics are almost universally prescribed oral antidiabetic medications that have now been shown through extensive meta-analyses of the extant literature to increase heart attacks by 43% and increase the risk of dying from heart disease by 64% versus placebo. Pharmaceutical interventions clearly appear through the scientific evidence itself to be oftentimes worse than the diseases they appear to be treating. As interest in botanical interventions increases, we see almost weekly a new clinical study appear showing the value of traditional medicine in preventing or treating chronic diseases like diabetes. For example, a new study published titled, An 8-wk, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial for the antidiabetic effects of hydrolyzed ginseng extract, found that so-called pre-diabetics with impaired fasting glucose responded to a ginseng extract by seeing a drop in fasting glucose levels and post-meal blood sugar elevations. We wont see the pharmaceutical industry invest the between 1-12 billion dollars of capital required to obtain FDA drug approval for turmeric or ginseng extract in correcting the condition of type 2 diabetics because natural substances are not patentable. While mother natures formulas are proprietary meaning, refractory to scientific understanding due to the infinite complexity at play within nature they do not lend themselves to being patented, or owned by any particular entity. This is why we must educate and empower ourselves with the research freely available through tax-payer funded resources like pubmed.gov, and of course sites like ours that use an open access model.

1	Introducing former Yankee farmhand Jesus Montero to the media Friday, the Seattle Mariners said they have high expectations for the newly acquired catching prospect, a player they hope will eventually become great enough to desert them for a hefty free-agent contract with the New York Yankees. 'It is every baseball executive's dream to spend years developing a talented young man so he can then be poached by the Yankees at the peak of his ability with a disgustingly high offer you cannot possibly match,' beamed Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik, who presented Montero with both a Mariners jersey and a future Yankees jersey he might one day wear, complete with a patch mourning the death of Yogi Berra. 'We'll miss Michael Pineda, but we hope Jesus can join him one day and they will win lots of world championships for the Yankees together.' Zduriencik also said he will commit suicide as soon as he secures a pension for his family. 
1	According to a report published this week in American Journalism Review, 93 percent of all newspaper sales can now be attributed to kidnappers seeking to prove the day's date in filmed ransom demands. 'Although the vast majority of Americans now get their news from the Internet or television, a small but loyal criminal element still purchases newspapers at a steady rate,' study author and Columbia journalism professor Linus Ridell said. 'The sober authority of the printed word continues to hold value for those attempting to extort large sums of money from wealthy people who wish to see their loved ones alive again, and not chopped into pieces and left in steamer trunks on their doorsteps.' 'These are sick, sick individuals,' Ridell added. 'God bless them for saving our industry.' A resourceful captor pieces together a ransom note after finishing the Style section. According to a source who wished to remain anonymous, there is an ineffable quality to the printed page that kidnappers cannot get from its digital counterpart. Though there are other methods for proving the date of grainy, home-made videos, the source said that newspapers add a certain gravitas to abductions that news websites do not. 'Holding a laptop next to a kid's head while blood is streaming from his nose just isn't the same,' said the source, adding that printed materials remove any uncertainty about dates being altered with Photoshop or other digital manipulation software. 'There's just something about the feel of newsprint and the smell of ink coupled with the mildew odor of a windowless basement that can't be replaced. Ultimately, I think newspapers make the whole thing more tangible and concrete for everyone involved.' 'They're also great for wrapping up a severed ear and mailing it to the family when they don't come through with the cash fast enough,' the source continued. 'And I always enjoy reading For Better Or For Worse.' In an effort to cater to their sole remaining customer base, many newspapers have started to run features and advertising targeted at the ruthless abductors. The Washington Post recently sold a two-page advertorial to a popular ski-mask manufacturer, while The New York Times now offers a real estate section dedicated primarily to abandoned warehouses, remote wooden sheds, and converted industrial meat freezers hidden from prying eyes. In addition to buoying the failing newspapers, criminals are also providing a revenue stream to struggling magazines and other weekly periodicals, the report said. While most Americans have cut back on specialty publications, kidnappers still find them useful for making cut-and-paste ransom letters and death threats. Although newsstand sales remain steady, neither newspapers nor magazines have seen much growth in terms of subscriptions, as their last existing consumers are extremely reluctant to provide permanent addresses. 'In order to reflect the purchasing habits of our most loyal customers, we will work with our distributors to ensure that these people can get newspapers at all hours of the night in inconspicuous, security-camera-free venues,' said billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch, who later offhandedly mentioned that his wife often takes late-evening walks all by herself. 'As long as violent sociopaths continue to abduct those closest to affluent people for huge cash ransoms, the long and storied tradition of the American newspaper will be preserved.' The newspaper industry joins several other sectors that are supported solely by kidnappers, including, most notably, voice-modulator manufacturing and sales. 
3	Activism for JusticeStephen Lendman, Contributor Imprisoned former Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR) president Abdulhadi Alkhawaja risks death for freedom. Current president Nabeel Rajab matches his commitment. As a result, hes been repressively targeted.Several times he was arrested and tortured for exposing human rights abuses and expressing his views freely. On May 5, he was targeted again. On arrival home at Bahrains airport, security forces seized and detained him. Prior to his arrest, he said: Given that Bahrain in essence lacks a judiciary system that is independent and/or fair, and is far from being in line with international standards of a fair trial, I have decided to boycott the trial against myself. The judiciary system in Bahrain, today, is a tool used against human rights defenders and people calling for democracy and justice. On May 6, Rajabs first hearing was held. Hes charged with participating in illegal assembly and calling other to join. In late April, he was questioned about insulting the statutory bodies. Expect more charges to follow. The Al Khalifa dictatorship wants rid of him. Perhaps now they intend a final blow. Justice in Bahrain is prohibited. State terror is policy. selfnewss for change are targeted, arrested, tortured, and imprisoned after kangaroo judicial proceedings. Rajab faced it earlier. Hes threatened again now. For years, he courageously defended human rights. In secondary school, he explained two formative incidents, saying: Two events affected me most, one when a colleague dropped himself from second floor to escape under-covered police who stormed school. The second incident was when a dear teacher was arrested. That is when my voice started to rise and become annoying. I was caught while writing apolitical human rights statements on school walls and was given the choice to either be submitted to police or to switch schools. I was the top student back then, but I choose to switch to Sheikh Abdul Aziz school. During college, he focused largely on studies. Nonetheless, he challenged all forms of injustice. He later got involved in international campaigns. From late 1994 to early 2001, Bahrain experienced earlier uprisings. Rajab actively participated. In 1999, he and others co-founded the Bahrain Human Rights Society. In 2002, he, Abdulhadi Alkhawaja, and others co-founded BCHR. Authorities terrorized its members for years. Nonetheless, it remains viable. Its dedicated to working for: a prosperous democratic country free of discrimination and other violations of human rights and says its mission is to encourage and support individuals and groups to be proactive in the protection of their own and others rights; and to struggle to promote democracy and human rights in accordance with international norms. Its four objectives include: Rajab now leads its struggle for justice. Hes also involved with other Bahrain and international human rights groups. They include the National Committee of Victims of Torture-Bahrain, Committee of the Unemployed and Underpaid, Committee on Decent Housing, Committee of the Bedouin, Committee to Defend Detained Human Rights selfnewss, and Migrant Workers Protection Group. From October 2009 to October 2011, he was chairman of CARAM, a Malaysian migrant human rights group. In December 2009, he became a Human Rights Watch Board of Advisors of the Middle East and North Africa member. In July 2010, the International Federation for Human Rights appointed him Deputy Secretary General. In 2011, the Woodrow Wilson International Centers History and Public Policy Program gave him its Ion Ratiu Democracy Award because he worked tirelessly and at considerable personal peril to advance the cause of democratic freedoms and the civil rights of Bahraini citizens. Last year, he also won the Silbury Prize. It was given to facilitate his ongoing humanitarian and human rights work. The Silbury Fund is a UK based charity focused on human rights, democracy, and challenging racism. Human rights activism in Bahrain risks life and limb. Nabeels been harassed, smeared by state media, beaten, injured, arrested, tortured and detained. He now faces another challenge. Throughout Bahrains 2011/2012 uprising, he helped lead the struggle for justice. In winter 2011, he condemned force used against peaceful protesters. In March 2011, after Saudi forces invaded guns blazing, he denounced the killings, atrocities, arrests, and imprisonments that followed. On March 20, two dozen masked security forces broke into his home violently late at night. His computer and files were confiscated. He was blindfolded, shackled, verbally abused, beaten, arrested and detained. Numerous other confrontations followed. His body shows signs of abuse. After one altercation, he face was deeply bruised and swollen. Several times his home was tear-gassed late at night. Canister markings bore US manufacturer names. Despite continued threats, hes committed to continue struggling for justice. In April, he told the UK-based New Statesman he passed the stage of worrying about his safety. My family used to get worried at the beginning but they know the size of the goal we are fighting for. My life is in danger, but I have my obligations and my business in order so that tomorrow if they kill me, there wont be any problems for my family. Unemotionally, he described years of state terror directed against him. A January video showed him lying beaten on the street. Despite being called the uprisings leader, he says hes just one of the citizens struggling. Id say it is a movement of no leaders. Asked whats hes working for, he said: Democracy. The same thing that you have in the UK. Elected prime minister, a parliament with power, people free to do anything, laws and institutions that respect human rights and international standards. Thats it. Nothing other than what you have here. Britain, like America and other European countries, of course, have precious little. Nabeel wants the real thing. Everyone deserves it. Perhaps he has direct representation in mind of, for, and by the people with national referenda on vital issues. BCHR expresses grave concern for his safety. Perhaps his greatest challenge lies ahead. Bahrain authorities want rid of him. Local and global activists support him. Everyone should for his long-standing dedication to human rights. Daily, he risks personal freedom and death for it.

3	Still Crazy After All These Years: Psychiatric Lock-Down Returns to the USBy Janet Phelan This reverses the trend and policy of the last seventy years, which promoted de-institutionalization and community based care. The question is: why are these hospitals being built? What new policy is going into effect? Seventy years ago, there were around 550,000 inpatient psychiatric hospital beds in the United States. With the movement towards community based care, these beds were reduced to roughly 40,000, country-wide. In the place of the large institutions, board and care homes and community based outpatient clinics became the norm for housing and treating those with psychiatric problems. And if the federal government has its say, this trend will shortly reverse. Some of the de-centralization of mental health care was accomplished through the passage of what is known as the IMD exclusion. The IMD exclusion is a part of the federal Medicaid statute and bars the use of Medicaid funds to pay for psychiatric care in a facility with more than sixteen psychiatric beds. The IMD exclusion is seen as one of the most potent factors in reducing inpatient hospitalization for psychiatric disorders. And now, the pendulum is swinging back. The IMD exclusion faces substantial amendment in a bill which just passed the House of Representatives. HR 2646, colloquially known as the Murphy Bill, zinged through Congress with a nearly unanimous vote of 422-2.The author of the bill, Tim Murphy, is a Republican Congressman from Pennsylvania who is a psychologist. The repeal of the IMD exclusion has disability rights advocates concerned. According to the Legal Action Center, potential risks associated with a full or partial repeal by Congress could be to encourage inpatient treatment when outpatient treatment is preferable. In other words, lock-downs may be coming back. Not only does HR 2646 provide for more inpatient hospitalization. The Murphy bill will re-enable centralization in mental health planning and forced treatment and in so doing will also gut many of the legal protections for those with mental problems. Sharon Cretsinger a former Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Director of the Kent Empowerment Center, has called the Murphy bill a very dangerous document, whether or not it passes, because it indicates the directions of force, coercion and dehumanization already experienced by those with psychiatric diagnoses. As you read the following critiques of HR 2646, bear in mind this historical reality: Psychiatry is useful to the state in that dissidents can be labeled mentally ill and locked up. Untold numbers of political dissidents in the Soviet Union were diagnosed with sluggish schizophrenia and incarcerated in psychiatric facilities. China has recently come under fire by human rights groups for employing similar tactics against dissidents. Hitler, who drew some of his eugenics concepts from the sterilization and psychiatric incarceration movements within the United States, had the mentally disabled in Germany gassed. The trend in the US to psychiatrically label and incarcerate activists and dissidents can be seen in the detention of CIA asset and Iraqi War whistleblower Susan Lindauer and the attempts by prosecutors to frame a similar mental health incarceration for Beverly Hills attorney Richard Fine, anti-corruption crusader Cary-Andrew Crittenden and Ohio investigator Linda Leisure. Strangely, the prosecutor, Barbara Cathcart, cannot seem to try her case against Crittenden, repeatedly pleading that she is not prepared, after her ploy to avoid trial by having him declared incompetent was derailed. The case has been plagued with attempts on the part of the prosecutor to hide public records and other such shenanigans. For awhile, it appeared that Crittendens right to a speedy trial would shortly time out, mandating his release. However, as of July 25th, the prosecutor refiled the charges against him. According to William Bennett, Crittendens attorney, the prosecution now has sixty days to bring him to trial or the charges will be dismissed. Linda Leisure had worked as an investigator of cold murder cases in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, where she was subsequently locked up in a psychiatric hospital and threatened with permanent commitment if she did not cooperate. Prior to her investigative career, she had worked in prison ministry. The Murphy bill will expand the ability of government to use psychiatry as a club, rather than as a tool for recovery. The bill will restrict advocacy for those deemed mentally ill to issues surrounding neglect or abuse. Advocacy will be barred for those seeking to stop psychiatric medication. Section 105 of the bill also prohibits mental health advocacy groups receiving federal funds from lobbying Congress. According to Cretsinger, The most frightening part of section 8, however, are (sic) the severe limitations placed on PAIMI advocates. (Protection and Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness) Not only are the advocates not allowed to be a part of the political process (which at one time was guaranteed to every citizen), they are not allowed to address any advocacy issues other than abuse and neglect. Further, PAIMI advocates are specifically prohibited from discussing with individuals who lack insight into their condition to refuse medication or act against the wishes of their caregivers. So, we have other sections of this bill loosely defining who has agency to act on their own behalf and who doesnt. Now, we have a council that was specifically set up to address the needs and questions of individuals in treatment with its hands tied, except in cases of abuse and neglect. It is very telling that PAIMI advocates are SPECIFICALLY barred from discussing the refusal of medication, or going against the wishes of their caregivers. This shows clearly that Murphys bill does not (want) anyone refusing treatment, or even talking about refusing treatment. Eric Buehlmann, Deputy Executive Director for Public Policy with National Disability Rights Network, a government-funded advocacy group, has this to say about the Murphy bill: We believe if you are going to spend billions of dollars on mental health it should be in the community. Buehlmann states, We did not support this bill. But how do you oppose something on an issue you have already lost? Buehlmann insists that the function of advocacy groups has not been entirely gutted by the Murphy bill. We need to get them turned around. It will be extremely important for advocates to be following this money, going into institutions, making sure abuse and neglect is not going on. Besides re-funding inpatient beds, the Murphy bill refocuses spending on other compulsory aspects to mental health treatment. The bill extends and increases funding for AOT Assisted Outpatient Treatment. AOT is defined as court-ordered treatment (including medication) for individuals who have a history of medication noncompliance, as a condition of their remaining in the community. It has also been termed involuntary outpatient commitment. The bill also authorizes further spending for ACT Assertive Community Treatment. This enables teams of mental health workers to troll the streets, looking for homeless or other individuals to treat in situ. It is hardly a stretch to see where ACT could quickly morph to AOT indeed, in the much publicized case of Charlie Castle, a homeless man in Redlands, California, that is exactly what happened. Castle, who was a much loved and well known fixture in Redlands, was approached by mental health workers while he sat reading in a public library. He was escorted to a mental health facility and subsequently put under a mental health guardianship, without ever laying eyes on a judge. The guardians subsequently moved him manically from facility to facility, attempting to obscure his whereabouts from concerned friends. In so doing, they also disallowed him from receiving the courts finding on his writ of habeas corpus. His guardianship proceedings were top heavy with conflict of interest, including the fact that the same law firm was appointed to represent both Castle and the guardian, while the judge pro tem sitting on the case was a former lawyer with the very same firm. Castle did not last very long under this guardianship, expiring under circumstances that could best be described as suspicious. Attorney Jim Preis, Executive Director of Mental Health Advocacy Services, Los Angeles, asserts that: We need to continue to respect the rights of persons with disabilities. When asked if this is furthered by the Murphy bill, he replied, We do not support involuntary extended inpatient treatment. The bill also authorizes grants for programs for infants and children at significant risk of developing, showing early signs of, or having been diagnosed with mental illness including serious emotional disturbance. Those eligible for these services are defined as a child from birth to not more than 5 years of age. One really must let that sink in. It does appear that there is now an effort to diagnose babies and funnel them into drug treatment programs. According to the New York Times, almost 20,000 prescriptions for antipsychotic medications were written for children under two years of age in 2014. For anti-depressant medications, the figures are even higher. According to the Times, over 83,000 prescriptions were written in 2014 for this same age group for the anti-depressant drug Prozac. The IMS national health database for 2013 reports that over 8 million children were on psychiatric medications. Many psychiatric medications have not been FDA approved for young children. Writes Cretsinger, Any well (or even poorly) trained clinician would find the idea of diagnosing a child as young as 0 (!) as ridiculous. She goes on to state that drugging children for these diagnoses is already increasing. The theme of engaging younger people in treatment is also repeated in the large amount of re-funding given to childrens recovery from trauma programs, as well as new funding for screening at-risk youth HR 2646 also weakens HIPAA, the law which protects a persons mental health history from public disclosure. Section 403 of HR 2646 permits the disclosure of protected health information to a caregiver, family member or other individual involved in the care of the patient, without obtaining the consent of the patient. As some people receiving mental health treatment are in abusive relationships which may have contributed to their mental state this alteration in the standard of what can be disclosed can be seen as potentially harmful. The bill also seeks to redefine peer support. The peer support movement in mental health parallels the AA paradigm, where those in recovery can offer strength and support to someone in a similar crisis. However, the mandates of the Murphy bill would move peer support into a category that is in alignment with psychiatry and the medical model and begins the process towards training and certification for peer support specialists. According to Ken Jones, The legislation will set back the recovery movement. Jones, who served on the Ohio Empowerment Coalition, on the PAIMI council under Disability Rights, Ohio and on the Hamilton County Recovery Centers Board of Directors, has extensive experience in working in peer support. Jones is dismayed at the bills definition of peer support. Murphy isnt trying to do away with peer support but is trying to change its very essence. He wants to create a national certification for peer support workers. Why? Then you have one training, one methodology. The bill therefore allows peer support but controls it. They hold the purse. They want no competition to the medical model. And herein lies a core concern. Experts disagree as to whether psychiatric medications have any real effectiveness. Despite the push to map the human brain, much of this territory remains uncharted. In spite of this, the Murphy bill seeks to direct national mental health in a manner that will tie it irrevocably to the medical model and to the pharmaceutical companies. HR 2646 now goes to the Senate, where it is expected to pass without dissent.

Do ur homework, Nazis didnt do that. Good sheeple swallowing crappy propaganda, thats what u are! Do you feel better now?. after projecting venting your own self-loathing internalized anger while wallowing in your own feces?I have in fact done the research which you obviously havent seems like you luv to bathe in your own myopic ignorance deep inside Platos Cavegoogle it moron. You have not done the correct research concerning Germany and WWII Eddy. Places like Red Ice have done a great deal of research, and have some of the best conversation in this matter that Ive ever heard! Cheers amigo The Nazis actually killed the mentally disabled. I find it so interesting that the Nazi-deniers are attaching themselves to this issue, as well as so to many others. There are so many of them now..wonder if they have been lying in wait all these years for their moment in the sun. Its one thing to kill those who may be mentally disabled, its another thing to take ordinary folks and characterize them as having psychiatric disorders because they are criticizing official policy in order to effect forced psychiatric incarceration, aka Exile, and forced drug use. Big Pharma in Europe is the Big Pharma in the US. Yo momma didnt raise no fool cheers I decline to engage in an unfair battle of wits with a hopelessly unarmed opponent. This bill is discriminatory, deadly, and, for those reasons, its also DOOMED. Pass or fail, this bill wont force Mad people into doing anything. Well hide, fight, and die before were ever reinstitutionalized, and I dont see ANY provision in this bill that would approve or fund a martial system of law in this country. And thats exactly what the government would need to do in order to chemically rape and throw away an estimated 10,000,000 Americans, many of whom are young, able-bodied, and involved, to some extent, with the Mad Rights movement. I almost always get deleted for saying this, but Im going to do it anyway: There is NOTHING I wont do to defend my bodily autonomy, NO WAY Ill resign myself to second-class citizenship, and NO act of vengeance too extreme for my temperament. Psychiatry and Rep. Tim Murphy are no match for the Mad people they want to subjugate. This is exactly what the Swiss government and parents do to this day to their disobedient children who do not want to be victims of child molestation and physical abuse. Perhaps you are Swiss?

2	Secretary Of Defense Deals DEVASTATING News To Clinton Campaign Hillary has faced bad news after bad news, and this week has been no different. Just days ago, former Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, announced that Hillarys emails had most likely been hacked by hostile countries in her time as Secretary of State. I think the odds are pretty high, said Robert Gates on his appearance on Hugh Hewitts talk show. Hewitt said, the intelligence communitys inspector general has said there was a lot of very highly classified information on her server. Gates responded, Yeah, thats a concern for me. I never used email when I was head of CIA or head of the Department of Defense. As I used to joke, I didnt want to have some chief of station overseas email me and say he was going to do something if I didnt get back to him in three hours, and I would get back from a five hour hearing to discover I was two hours too late. I preferred dealing with people face to face and putting a signature on a piece of paper on matters of real national security and importance. This is a horrible blow for the Clinton campaign, especially with all the adversity she has been facing from the Benghazi scandal. Do you think Hillary is too irresponsible to run out country? 
3	Why the FCC Cant Actually Save Net NeutralityApril Glaser Violations of network neutrality are a real and serious problem: in recent years we have seen dozens of ISPs in the U.S. and around the world interfere with and discriminate against traffic on their networks in ways that threaten the innovative fabric of the Internet. At the same time, weve long doubted that the FCC had the authority to issue the Open Internet rules in the first place, and we worried that the rules would lead to the FCC gaining broad control over the Internet. The FCC in particular has a poor track record of regulating our communications services. We are not confident that Internet users can trust the FCC, or any government agency, with open-ended regulatory authority of the Internet. Look at what happened with radio and television. Though its charged to regulate our media landscape in the best interest of the public, the FCC opened the doors to unforeseen levels of media consolidation. That consolidation has contributed to the gutting of newsrooms and a steep decline in diversity of viewpoints and local voices on the air, as independent broadcasters across the country shut down, unable to compete with big media monopolies. One of the best protections for the open Internet is probably more competition among ISPs, but the FCCs history doesnt leave us hopeful that it is the right entity to help create and defend a competitive Internet marketplace. So while we are hesitant to task any government agency with the job of regulating the Internet, we arent thrilled about giving that power to the FCC. The many faces of network discrimination However this plays out, we think its important that the public understands what network discrimination actually looks like. The recent debate about network neutrality has involved a lot of speculation and what-if hypotheticals. This is strange because we have a clear, documented history of the kinds of non-neutral, discriminatory practices that ISPs have actually deployed in recent years. Here are a few ways ISPs have throttled or blocked content in the past. We stand firm in our opposition to this kind of behavior: Individually and collectively, these practices pose a dire threat to the engine of innovation that has allowed hackers, startup companies, and kids in their college dorm rooms to make the Internet that we know and love today. How can we prevent these practices and ensure neutrality over our networks? The FCC tried, and while the agency was somewhat successful in putting the brakes on the kind of network discrimination ISPs would rather see[1], the FCC used poor legal reasoning to enact weak rules. What was wrong with the FCCs network neutrality approach The Open Internet rules of 2010 that were rejected by the court last week were deeply flawedand confirmed our fears about heavy-handed Internet regulation. The FCC initially claimed that it had ancillary authority under the 1996 Telecommunications Act to enact the Open Internet rules. That means that although the FCC did not have explicit authority from Congress to issue network neutrality rules, especially after classifying Internet service as an information service and not a telephone-like common carrier in 2002, they still professed a broad authority to regulate the Internet. That claim of ancillary jurisdiction, if accepted, would have given the FCC pretty much boundless clearance to regulate the Internet, and to claim other ancillary powers in the future. Even if you happen to like the FCCs current goals, whos to say we will still like whatever goals the agency has next year and the year after that? We had serious issues with the initial Open Internet Order, as we explained in our comments to the FCC. For one, the Order allowed ISPs free rein to discriminate as long as it was part of reasonable efforts to address copyright infringement. This broad language could lead to more bogus copyright policing from the ISPs. Weve already seen companies use inaccurate filters to block non-infringing fair use content online, a practice we continue to fight. The FCCs rules also had troubling exceptions for law enforcement, permitting ISPs to engage in voluntary, non-neutral network management practices to fulfill any law enforcement requests. We opposed this exception when the rules were being considered, but the FCC did not adopt our recommendations. And by now we all know how overbroad law enforcement exceptions to gather user data can be. If you have any doubt, pick up a newspaper and read about how the U.S. government unconstitutionally collaborates with Internet companies for law enforcement purposes. There are no easy solutions In light of these threats it is tempting to reach for easy solutions. But handing the problem to a government agency with strong industry ties and poor mechanisms for public accountability to fix the very real problem of network neutrality is unsatisfying. Theres a real danger that we would just be creating more problems than wed solve. One alternative that would go a long way would be to foster a genuinely competitive market for Internet access. If subscribers and customers had adequate information about their options and could vote with their feet, ISPs would have strong incentives to treat all netowrk traffic fairly. The court agreed with us on this point: a broadband provider like Comcast would be unable to threaten Netflix that it would slow Netflix traffic if all Comcast subscribers would then immediately switch to a competing broadband provider. Another scenario would be for Congress to step in and pass network neutrality legislation that outlines what the ISPs are not allowed to do. But fighting giant mega-corporations like ATT and Verizon (and their army of lobbyists) in Congress promises to be a tough battle. Yet another option: empower subscribers to not just test their ISP but challenge it in court if they detect harmful non-neutral practices. That gives all of us the chance to be watchdogs of the public interest but it, too, is likely to face powerful ISP opposition. These are not the only options. Internet users should be wary of any suggestion that there is an easy path to network neutrality. Its a hard problem, and building solutions to resolve it is going to remain challenging. But here is one guiding principle: any effort to defend net neutrality should use the lightest touch possible, encourage a competitive marketplace, and focus on preventing discriminatory conduct by ISPs, rather than issuing broad mandatory obligations that are vulnerable to perverse consequences and likely to be outdated as soon as they take effect. EFF is watching this issue closely, and well continue to share our thoughts on how best to defend the free and open Internet on which we all depend. 
3	Time to Make Warrantless Home Video Surveillance ExtinctEFF Ricky Wahchumwah, a tribal member of the Yakima Nation, was suspected of selling bald and gold eagle feathers, as well as the feathers and pelts of other migratory birds, in violation of federal law. As part of its investigation, a undercover agent from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service went to Wahchumwahs house, pretending to be interested in buying feathers and pelts. Wahchumwah let him in his house, not knowing that the agent was secretly recording everything with a tiny video camera hidden in his clothes. The agent proceeded to capture two hours of video of Wachumwahs home, including interactions between Wachumwah and his partner and children, and was even left alone by Wachumwah for periods of time, who did not suspect he was being recorded. Charged with violating the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Lacey Act, Wahchumwah moved to suppress the video evidence as an unreasonable search under theFourth Amendment. The trial judge denied his motion, ruling that since Wahchumwah let the agent into his house, and the agent could testify to everything he saw in the house, Wahchumwah had no expectation of privacy. Wahchumwah appealed this decision to the Ninth Circuit, and we filed an amicus brief supporting him. As we explain in our brief, a video camera can capture far more detail than a human eye. And unlike the human mind, a video camera doesnt forget. After all, if an officers observations were sufficient, there would be no need for the video camera in the first place. Building on the Supreme Courts landmark decision in United States v. Jones, which ruled the Fourth Amendment prohibited the warrantless use of GPS surveillance to monitor a persons car on public roads for 28 days, we make two main arguments. Second, as Justice Sotomayor said in her concurring opinion in Jones, the fact that technology allows the government to cheaply and efficiently aggregate data in ways that were impractical in the past has the potential to alter the relationship between citizen and government in a way that is inimical to democratic society. While it is technically possible to follow someone for 28 days continuously, it is expensive and difficult. GPS technology now allows the government to track someone wherever they go and as long as they want, all from the comforts of the police station. A video camera does the same thing. Sure, its possible for someone to enter a house and write down everything they remembered seeing hours later when they leave the house. But a video camera is capable of aggregating an enormous amount of data that would be difficult for human senses to replicate. When a video camera secretly enters the home, it can capture things like the mail on your coffee table, the books on a shelf, or the pictures on your wall. And the whole point of a camera is to record and save for another day, allowing the government to not have to rely on the human minds tendency to forget. It can rewind again and again to examine every minute detail of the house. In the past, such intensive video surveillance was reserved for serious, violent crimes. Today, its being used by Fish and Wildlife officers to investigate misdemeanors. A search warrant requirement strikes the right balance between the governments need to investigate crime, and the publics right to privacy particularly in the home, the most private of all places. Hopefully, the Ninth Circuit will reverse the trial court, and eradicate this invasive warrantless surveillance once and for all. Attached Documents linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	War On Cash: E.U. Announces End Of The 500 Euro BanknoteBy Joshua Krause Thats why the European Union has recently decided to stop producing the 500 euro note by 2018. Though the merits of the bill have been debated for some time, calls to eliminate it grew after the Paris terror attack last November. As usual, terrorist attacks are always the governments best excuse to limit our freedoms. But the real impetus to eliminate the bill is obvious when you see how important it is for Europes savers. More than 300 billion in euros are currently in circulation, a number which as grown precipitously over the years as the EUs debt-fueled economy has degraded. The 500 euro makes it so much easier for the average person to protect themselves from confiscations and bank holidays. And dont assume for a moment that this wont happen here in America. The globalists are pushing harder than ever before to stop producing the $100 bill, and our media is rife with anti-cash propaganda. This is a global battle to punish savers everywhere, and its one that savers cant afford to lose. Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple.

3	Now Youre In ChargeJulian Rose You have experienced for yourself how manipulated and socially engineered is the society in which we live; how despotic is the cabal that pulls the strings; how effective is the methodology employed in keeping the majority in a dumbed-down state of creative impotence. You have seen for yourself just how cold are the hearts of those who seek the tantalizing prize of absolute power; be it in banking, the hegemony of war, control of the food chain, the weather, the constitution and even the genetic pool of life itself. You have seen all this and have duly wished for an end to the top-down incestuous hierarchical control freaks who relish holding the reins of power and exercising relentless repression over all who struggle to keep body and soul together. But, somehow or other, in spite of all this, you havent seen yourself as someone to do something about it. This for you has always been someone elses task. Someone elses concern. You have preferred to absolve yourself from confronting and grappling with the true reality. A great void opens up where just a few days before the imposition of a police state looked inevitable. In the tumultuous events that follow the centralised control is lost and the people surge onto the streets. There is an attempt by an ad hoc forum to set in motion some form of mutual support groups so as to mitigate the chaos that rages all around. You yourself are now out on the street too. A young woman suddenly calls out your name drawing you aside she says I know you are capable, take charge of this community and give them leadership, show them the new way you know must transcend this worn out criminal regime start now! Then suddenly you snap awake. It was just a dreamBut was it? Sitting up in bed in a state of shock, you try to get your bearings. It feels all so real, so possible and yet the clock points to 7 a.m. and you hear the familiar sound of your neighbours car heading off down the road and take in the aroma of toast wafting up the bedroom stairway. A news reader on the kitchen radio is giving the economic prognosis for the day the index is expected to rise strongly on the announcement of a new military engagement in Central Africa Sitting down to breakfast, you dimly realize something of singular importance: if this had been real life you would have had absolutely no idea what to do. No concept of how to respond when asked to take charge of the life situation experienced in the dream. The young womans words echo through your head I know you are capable take charge of this community and give them leadership. Yet somehow you feel impotent to take such an action. All the knowledge gained through reading and participating in alternative blog sites; watching awareness raising documentary films; joining spiritual support groups all this, and yet you still feel unequal to the task at hand in turning these experiences into positive actions. Consider this carefully, for it may actually be at your door tomorrow and not in the form of a dream but in the bright light of a real day. What is missing that renders us so enfeebled when faced by the reality of taking purposeful action to ameliorate our bruised planet and help our fellow human beings in times of distress? I will offer a clue. It is a lack of imagination. Imagination of a better way of life. Imagination that has been deliberately cultivated and etched into the mind, though years of purposeful intent to set in motion a new template for daily living that goes way beyond todays dysfunctional dystopia. We have quite simply failed ourselves if we have not cultivated such a vision and we have failed our Creator; for Source equipped us with all the tools to foster this vision and to bring it into reality, no matter what the odds or how chaotic the circumstances. At any one moment we are called upon to bring into the foreground of our intent a picture of the community, landscape, village or city we would like to live in and to share with our companions. Having no such picture renders us pretty much useless slaves to the moribund, vision-less status quo which feeds on our compliant passivity. But when one is left in charge; in charge of the future; one immediately knows that one needs a vision and a realistic, realisable one for how else is one going to decide what to attempt to put in place to ensure that things move in a better direction than that which superseded them? How else can the creative change that we dream of be shared and manifest? How else can we avoid stumbling into a makeshift, panic-driven answer thus making the same mistakes all over again? When I started organic farming on my land in the UK, I had a mental picture of what I wanted it to look and be like then I set about bringing that picture into reality. It took around 15 years and led me through many variations of the original theme in the process. But thats fine because the vision is quite simply a passion to give form to something. To give it beauty, humanity, community. To include all life forms soil, trees, animals, people. Its a life-enhancing holistic expression. There is no manual or instruction book to be followed with joyless precision that gets us to this goal. Life is our teacher. She will produce the vision if we let her flow through our veins. But we have to hold onto it and turn it into reality. So there you are there we are the ones who have been able to acquire awareness. Faced by a deeply uncertain future and yet in charge of our and others destinies by dint of being in possession of this awareness when others are not. The control system, while preparing itself to clamp down ever more heavily, may actually be trembling at its roots. Beyond its long-endured template of inverted and sterilised truth lies the opportunity to build a totally other society, based on humanitarian and creative values that have been longing for expression and integration for centuries. Are you readying yourself to lead your community towards that promised land? Or are you still hoping someone else will take on the mantle of that responsibility? You need to give yourself that answer today and face its consequences. Julian is a committed international activist, writer, farmer and actor.

3	Decoded Neurofeedback: Matrix-like Learning With No Conscious EffortAnna Hunt, Contributor Conjuring up images of the hit film The Matrix, recent research indicates that it may be possible to program your brain to perform certain feats like playing instruments, sports and intellectual challenges. Imagine being downloaded with a certain skill set just by watching a high-performing athlete or musician execute these skills on a computer screen. Possibilities like this may exist in the future as the singularity draws near. Researchers believe that adult early visual areas are capable of stimulating visual perceptual learning. The decoded neurofeedback method may eventually present doctors, therapists and clinicians with a new approach to automated learning, which may be useful with rehabilitation of motor skills, as well as with memory loss. Below is a short video that offers the researchers explanation of the decoded neurofeedback method.

3	5 Things Busy People Can Do to Fight the Rising Control SystemBernie Suarez Here are five subtle actions you can incorporate into your busy schedule to start pushing back and make a difference. If you think any of these simple steps is too difficult, then give yourself time to adapt. Work on weaning yourself off of your usual habits and slowly change the hard-to-break habits keeping you from maximally fighting back while continuing your busy life. 1 Turn off your TV and shut off mindless entertainment This is for some people a difficult thing to do, so for those people it may be more realistic to wean down how much entertainment and TV you absorb. A key to this commitment is realizing that TV watching is a medical-physiological issue. Realize that when you watch TV there is a real physical reaction going on in your brain and that addiction to TV and entertainment (like gambling and alcohol) is one problem among many others associated with TV watching. When someone is an addict they are taught that overcoming denial is a big part of the recovery process.. Likewise, being addicted to TV and entertainment must not be underestimated as just another incidental habit. It is a real addiction, and TV flicker rates have a lot to do with it. I recall for year I watched TV, and during that time of my life whenever I was in a room without TV it felt very uncomfortable. I couldnt understand why it felt so uncomfortable but I knew it was. I now realize that was because there is a physiological addiction involved with TV watching. As you can imagine, successfully committing to watching less or no TV while living a busy life will free up a lot of time which can then be used for doing creative things, improving relationships, starting a group, picking up a book, doing research, and a lot of other proactive things you thought you didnt have time for. 2 Optimize your online privacy Another subtle thing you can do to strike back at the control system while managing a busy schedule is to learn a few things about online privacy. Start cleaning up your computer and unplugging some of the links put in place for private corporations and even government to potentially spy on you. Learn about what an IP address is. Realize that an IP address can be used to track where you are. Go to your browser and type in the address myipaddress.com and this website will read back to you your own IP address. Become familiar with this concept then become familiar with the concept of Proxy Servers and Tor browsers. Do some basic research on the issue and decide for yourself if you want to occasionally (or always) go online using a privacy optimized server. This may not be for everyone but at least be familiar with what it is in case you want or feel you need to use one some day. A proxy server or Tor browser will allow you to browse online without your IP address being traced or tracked. Also, heres something you should be doing every day. Depending on which browser you are using, become familiar on how to delete cookies from you computer. Cookies are like tiny robot programs installed on your computer by sites you visit. These robots are installed without your permission and are used to track you. For many browsers (Firefox, Google Chrome) it will be under privacy options and/or clear browsing data. Then look for a link or option for deleting cookies. As I said, know that these cookies are installed on your private computer every single time you go a website. Get in the habit of clearing these cookies unless you want every site you visit to also know what other sites you are visiting. By using cookies many corporations are able to monitor your shopping habits and many other things about you. They rely on the fact that you dont know how to clear your cookies or perhaps are too lazy to delete them every time you go online. Why not become familiar with cookies and what they do? Still not sure? Just do an online search for how to clear cookies then specify the browser you are using. The point is to start doing little things that will make surveillance more difficult and to educate yourself about some small things that add up and can make a difference later on. This topic in some ways is a continuation of the online privacy. Start doing small things to make the police surveillance state a bit more difficult for them to carry out. Be smart about how you use your smartphone. If possible, consider reverting back to a not-so-smart phone. If your phone company allows you to use an older phone its something you MAY want to consider. Remember the time when we all bought small cameras to take pictures and we purchased video cameras to make videos? Why cant we go back to using individual electronics again? Why do we need to use our phones for everything we do? Why have we become conditioned to living our entire lives using our phones? Have you considered this may have been planned to help enslave humanity? Studies now show smartphones are proven to have a negative impact on human relationships, making people more selfish, more easily distracted and more stressed out among other things. Furthermore, have you read the Terms and Conditions of the license agreements you agree to every time you download a cell phone (or any) app? Do you realize that for many of these redundant and often useless apps you sign away your privacy? Read the agreements very carefully, that is exactly what you are doing almost every time you download a cell phone app. Is this lifestyle really necessary? No it isnt, and its one of the small things you can do to fight back. Take back your privacy and commit to a smart life instead of a smartphone. Also, you can stop taking selfies and broadcasting your image all over your own cell phone. Realize the control system has mastered the facial recognition technology and these self produced images only help the opposition keep track of your facial features and what you look like recently, information that can be added to whatever information the system may already have about you. Remember every bit of content you pack your smartphone with can be legally stolen from your phone and given to anyone including law enforcement or even a fusion center that may have created a file for you without you knowing. Since the revelations of Edward Snowden we all know how the NSA is violating the privacy of average Americans; and although these measures may not entirely prevent NSA from doing what it does, at least you are doing something to fight back and you are making it more difficult for them to get your information. Imagine if everyone does their part to resist in some way how much harder it becomes for the NSA. Other things you can do is periodically change your contact information like your phone number(s), emails, and addresses. There is no law that says you cant have multiple emails, addresses and phone numbers if for no other reason than to make yourself harder to track. Be creative instead of being predictable. Its not about being paranoid, its about smartly preparing for the worst-case scenario, being a tiny bit smarter than the next person, being creative, and being vigilant about the world we now factually live in. Not all of these measures are for everyone; but, again, these are subtle things some of us can do while living a busy life. This is an issue that everyone can and should do something about. Each of us makes decisions every day about where we spend our money and who we give our money to. If you know a corporation is a part of the problem, stop giving them your money. Is a decision like this not practical to implement immediately? Then decrease how much money you spend with that store. Here are a few other suggestions: Buy only what you need. Resist mindless advertisements that try to get you to spend money on things you dont need. Realize that like TV, shopping is another subtle addiction that you may need to break. Break away from the habit of going shopping as a form of entertainment and instead practice saving and smartly investing your money. So where should you spend your money? Support alternative media with donations and online purchases. Support organizations and stores that share your values. Identify those entities that support the freedom and liberty we all wish to see come to fruition and then support those platforms. Invest in your own health and survival. Instead of spending money on things you dont need, buy things that empower you and your ability to survive free from government. Do your part to buy smartly, and if everyone does this we can greatly contribute to a shift in paradigm even as we live our busy lives. Finally, regardless of what you do, know that government (City, State and Federal) needs your money badly, and they pay a lot of people to look for reasons to take your money (or your freedom which is worth money to them) away from you. Weve all seen the big city parking police scouring neighborhoods looking for any car parked in front of a meter that is one minute over the limit. Weve seen throughout the U.S. how police often set up hidden speed traps so they can pull you over for a speeding ticket. Realize that police are rewarded for giving out tickets and the cities have quotas for tickets. The control system NEEDS your money or your freedom to fund its very own control over you. This is why they set up traffic light cameras, create stringent rules and DUI checkpoints throughout the city in hopes of catching violators. Realize this and stay focused every day being careful to not give the control system an excuse to transfer any of your hard earned money into their pockets. Do what you can to not be arrested, not get a ticket and not be harassed for money by the control system. If none of this works, if you end up with tickets or arrested, or if you simply want to become a more effective agent of change while living a busy life then educate yourself about the legal system and how it is rigged against you. Take time on your off days to learn some of the basics of how the system tricks each and every one of us from the time of birth into consenting to be ruled, robbed and controlled. Again, some may feel they dont have time to learn about the legal system but, like learning about online privacy, learning how to legally take control of your own life is a priceless piece of knowledge to obtain in your spare time. So there it is. All of these things can be done by someone caught up in a busy hectic lifestyle. All of us have spare time. Ultimately, you choose your road and what kind of life you want to live. These ideas are for those of you who really care and really want to make a difference but realize that time is precious. Go ahead, start making your list and put some of things into action. Dont worry about not being able to do all of this, just start somewhere. This is a guideline not a set of rules. Peace and love.

1	Calling it a major breakthrough that will significantly expedite and streamline its daily operations, Wall Street financial firm Goldman Sachs revealed Thursday it has developed a new high-speed algorithm that is capable of performing more than 10,000 ethical violations per second. With this new automated program, well be able to systematically deceive investors, engage in conflicts of interest, and execute thousands of other blatantly unethical dealings in the time it takes to press a button, said John Waldron, co-head of Goldman Sachs investment banking division, who added that the high-frequency impropriety system will be able to break more rules in a minute than an entire floor of morally suspect securities traders, financial analysts, and portfolio managers could over the course of a week. In the past, if one of our brokers wanted to exploit a questionably legal regulatory loophole or breach the covenant of good faith with an investment client, that would require hours of manually contravening the basic principles of professional integrity. But this innovative system will allow millions of such transgressions to go through every single day. Going forward, I expect this revolutionary program to be the cornerstone of our business. Upon learning of the advanced new unethical algorithm, investors initiated a buying frenzy on Goldman Sachs stock, sending share prices surging more than 30 percent to $245.46. 
2	BREAKING: Joe Biden Suffers From Devastating Injury According to recent reports, Joe Biden is taking the week to recover from an injury he sustained while playing with his dog this weekend. Biden was spotted at the beginning of the week at an event celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act with a dark, round contusion below his lower lip. When the public expressed their concern for the 72-year-old Vice President, his office released a statement claiming that Biden obtained the bruise while he was playing with his German Shepard, Champ. The wound may be minor, but even the slightest injury can be jarring when you are over 70. The wound also comes at a time of immense stress for the Biden family. At the end of May, Beau Biden died of cancer. He was only 46 years old. Biden has been relatively quiet since the death of his son, and did not speak at the event. 
3	The 239 Year Timeline of Americas Involvement in Military ConflictBy Isaac Davis The American public and the world have long since been warned of the dangers of allowing the military industrial complex to become such an integral part of our economic survival. The United States is the self-proclaimed angel of democracy in the world, but just as George Orwell warned, war is the health of the state, and in the language of newspeak, democracy is the term we use to hide the reality of the nature of our warfare state. In truth, the United States of America has been engaged in some kind of war during 218 out of the nations total 239 years of existence.Put another way, in the entire span of US history, this country has only experienced 21 years without conflict. For a sense of perspective on this sobering statistic, consider these 4 facts about the history of US involvement in military conflict: As the world moves closer and closer to an official beginning to world war III, and as many people are seeking opportunities to de-escalate the situation in the Middle East, it is important to realize that the US state and the American people are simply not equipped or conditioned to pursue and realize peace. War is indeed the health of our state. Here is a year-by-year timeline of Americas involvement in military conflict, as compiled by Danios of Loonwatch.com. It is noted that this list is not exhaustive, but rather a compilation of events that fit the definition of war, excluding acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing such as were carried out against Native American populations during the establishment of the empire, and also excluding foreign interventions by Americas covert security agencies such as the CIA: 1776 American Revolutionary War, Chickamagua

I have seen war on land and sea. and yet the great military industrial complex continues ever onward death and destruction is the only blueprint of the gold collar scum that own the unfederal b.s. bank of the U.S. and all zentral banks. keep feeding the beast it is ravenous and insatiable. FDR engineered the US entry into WWII against massive public opposition. His legacy as a humanitarian is due to his words, not his deeds, and the paid liars who are hired by govt. to promote statism. True. Would you not include Shays Rebellion (1787) and the so called Whiskey Rebellion (1791-94)? edt I would, especially the W.R. which was a tax revolt in keeping with the spirit of the American Dream. It was crushed by an authoritarian who inflicted an especially onerous burden on farmers who were fighting for their rights. The Whiskey tax was levied as a wealth transfer from farmers to politically connected speculators. The robbery was made possible by the fascist Hamilton. I have argued the point this fine article makes many times only to have the compliant regime serf Im talking to make some ridiculous comeback claiming the US has had to defend itself against a supposed threat. For some people albeit way too many people these days for my tastes there is no getting to. This list is missing the invasion of Somalia initiated at end of the first evil Bush regime and continued under Clinton. Randolph Bourne said, War is the health of the State. Other than that, your piece makes its point very well. Heres the most heinous part that is not included in this article: MANY churches have increasingly endorsed this. They need to be honest with themselves about this, own this, and repent of it. 
3	Why You Should Make This Energizing Liver and Blood Building SmoothieThe best part of experimenting with smoothie recipes is discovering the perfect combination that allows you to have more energy, focus and stamina for hours, without necessarily consuming a whole meal. Below are the ingredients I used with an explanation of the benefits. I use a NutriBullet to blast the ingredients but you could use a quality high speed blender if it can pulverize carrots and beets. If using a juicer, simply use more of the vegetables but blend other ingredients afterward in a blender. Easy blood and liver building smoothie serves one Ingredients Chop beet and carrot into smaller pieces. Add all ingredients to NutriBullet or blender. I shake the cup first to better mix the powders and coconut oil. Blend for 20-30 seconds. Enjoy. What if you only have a New York minute to make a smoothie? Then just use the carrot, beet, berries whey, juice and chia if possible. Still a hearty, healing drink. My original recipe included papaya which I like to include for the helpful enzymes. That might have put it over the max line, though it depends on how much the beet fills out the drink. Any chance of adding dark, leafy greens makes it even more powerful and fulfilling. Why these ingredients? Beets major liver and blood building food. Contains betaine for helping with stomach acid that dissolves pathogens. Rejuvenating the liver helps energize and relieve sluggishness. Red whole foods tend to support blood and cardiovascular health. Beet tops have naturally occurring hydrochloric acid which help to break down protein. Carrots helps with phase II liver detox. Builds blood. Helps with bile secretion. Bile is a badly needed detoxifier! Carrots help the liver with the hormone cycle which further lightens the load for the endrocrine and reproductive system. Eat them every day! The roughage from the beets and carrots make you go regularly and that helps with energy too. Frozen raspberries Blood builder. Sweetness. Red foods can be grounding is it any wonder why the color associated with the root chakra is red? Berries are high in antioxidants without too much sugar, and raspberries are among the best, although strawberries and cherries would make a good substitute too. Whey why whey protein? Healthy proteins are nourishing to the body, skin, blood sugar, and liver. Whey in particular is known as a liver cleanser. Its also high in amino acid L-cysteine, which your body converts into glutathione for detox purposes. Gently help your liver throw off heavy metals.Whey to take a load off, Manny youll feel better when you can tell the liver is unloading again. Its no wonder that ginger and turmeric show up in liver function smoothies they both contain compounds that are shown to ward off cancer and aid in detox. Ginger helps with digestion and bile (which explains why it is so helpful with nausea), and turmeric has been heavily studied for reversing liver disease. Coconut oil The healthy saturated fats clean out the dirty oil filter and restore the crucial bile process so that toxins can be carried out and nutrients can be rightly processed. Chia seeds are loaded with components the liver needs to detox, as well as protein and more Omega-3 fatty acids than salmon. They are proven to help with glucose and make you feel full. The Nutribullet (or a Ninja) blasts them into an easily digested liquid. Know what the best part is? I found out that all of the above ingredients have different methods of fighting inflammation the precursor to disease. You dont need rigorous and harsh liver cleanses that cause deprivation of nutrients. Dont skip out on feeding the liver; feeding the blood. Need more substitute ideas? Check out this list of foods that the liver loves! Thanks to Dr. Scott Graves for providing the information on beets. 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: Beets are virtually all GMO. How about that? Whey protein? Are you sure about that? I think your recipe is a bit unnatural. Many of the small carrots are GMO as well but not to hard to find natural ones. Tell you what, substitute lentils for the whey and beets. BTW.the HCl amount in beets is miniscule relative to protein digestion. Anything else I can do for ya freedom food activist? Actually only sugar beets are GMO. Table beets are not. Also if youre There are numerous health CRITIQUE of your Smoothie Recipe is this: no reason whatsoever to not use fresh ginger root non-China sourced, peel to remove mold, and gain back the phytochemicals lost by processing. Second suggestion is: Why would you ever want to not use some kind of Tea as liquid? For this recipe Hibiscus Tea would be a perfect liquifier FULL of antioxidants at incredible levels, brilliant red, and improves flavor of any smoothie. Other ideas include Green Tea, Blackberry, Rooibos, Hawthorn, etc. Another really important idea would be to throw in a little probiotics; the reason is that with any fruit you are automatically introducing fungus it is unavoidable. In addition, fruit sugar feeds preexisting gut parasites and when we innoculate our guts with the Good Guys, we are actually feeding our brains, immune function, and energy, so dont forget the Gut-Brain connection. Last but not least: there is a final category of additions to any smoothie which will exponentially improve medicinal quality of your recipe, and that is the berry powders. Try ordering the highest quality at a great price through THRIVE (no, I dont work for them) and consider acai, maqui, acerola, etc. This may thicken it a little, will intensify the taste a little, but will deliver so much more brain power that you wont forget to do it. 
2	Obama Gets Absolutely Humiliated At International Meeting Right When He Steps Off The Plane [VIDEO] According to reports, Chinese authorities have gone above and beyond to welcome World leaders, including Indias prime minister, Narendra Modi, the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, the South Korean president, Park Geun-hye, Brazils president, Michel Temer, and the British prime minister, Theresa May. As for President Obama? He was forced to disembark from Air Force One through an exit in the planes belly after he want not provided with a rolling staircase when he landed in an eastern Chinese city on Saturday. Chinas leaders have since been accused of snubbing Obama intentionally. The insult was extraordinarily public, given that all eyes were on the arrival of leaders in Hangzhou before the start of the G20 conference. Jorge Guajardo, Mexicos former ambassador to China, also told reporters he believed Obamas treatment was intentional. These things do not happen by mistake. Not with the Chinese, Guajardo told the Guardian. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	Claiming he has always been a bit of a loner, members of Congress expressed their deep concern Friday about Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), whose legislation has reportedly become increasingly violent and disturbing in recent months. His bills have had some pretty dark stuff in them lately, and hes been using a lot of very brutal language and imagery, said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), adding that Merkley often hangs around the Capitol Building by himself listening to his headphones and rarely ever talks during meetings of the Senate Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Protection. In the Rebuilding Equity Act he handed in the other week, there were several subsections in which people were getting stabbed or shot, and when I asked him to insert an amendment on mortgage loan ratios, he just added a long paragraph about watching blood pour out of somebodys head. Im starting to really worry about him. Despite Merkleys inclusion of an explicit cry for help in a bill on farm subsidies last week, sources confirmed a hold had been placed on the legislation to prevent it from ever reaching the Senate floor. 
3	Haitis Man-Made Disasters: US Charities Exploit Haitian Disaster Relief For Personal GainThough Hurricane Matthew caused more panic than actual damage in the United States, it devastated the Caribbean island nation of Haiti. The fiercest hurricane to make landfall in the Caribbean in over a decade, Matthew slammed into Haiti last week, leaving over 1.4 million in desperate need of aid and an estimated 1,000 dead. After a devastating earthquake in Haiti in 2010, the Red Cross solicited donations in order to offer much-needed humanitarian aid, receiving over half a billion dollars to alleviate the widespread suffering and homelessness caused by the natural disaster. However, it was later revealed that the efforts in fundraising were not so much aimed at helping Haitians, but rather at offsetting the Red Cross previous deficits and generating its own publicity. A former Red Cross official said that the Haiti earthquake disaster, instead of being viewed as a humanitarian crisis, was seen as a spectacular fundraising opportunity for the organization. Though the Red Cross claims that its work helped 4.5 million Haitians get back on their feet, this claim has been widely discredited by former Red Cross officials as well as the Haitian government. Almost all of those funds intended for the Haitian people actually went to the overhead expenses of the Red Cross as well as outside organizations they hired to do the actual work. In what can only be described as a man-made disaster, the original total of half a billion dollars intended for the Haitian people resulted in the construction of only six homes. Though the Red Cross blamed Haitis confusing land title system for the lack of homes built, other aid organizations that encountered the same issue still managed to construct over 9,000, calling into question the Red Cross narrative. No wonder Haitians are pleading that people avoid making donations to the Red Cross. However, the Red Cross isnt the only charitable organization to blame for Haitis suffering. The Clinton Foundation has funneled millions of dollars it raised for Haitian disaster relief to wasteful and largely unfinished projects that have directly benefited its wealthy donors. One such example, is the Clinton Foundations $45 million Marriott Hotel Project, which aims to bring a luxury resort to a wealthy area of Haitis capital. Marriott has consistently made large donations to the Clinton Foundation over the years. Yet, one of the most egregious examples of all comes not from a charitable organization, but the United Nations. An ongoing cholera outbreak since the 2010 earthquake has caused 10,000 deaths in Haiti and infected 800,000 more. This same outbreak has now been exacerbated by Hurricane Matthew, as widespread flooding is increasing the number of cholera cases. Yet, this six-year cholera outbreak was never the result of any natural disaster as UN peacekeepers were involved in the initial spread of the disease after the earthquake, a fact the UN Secretary-General himself has acknowledged. Despite all of this gross incompetence and likely criminal activity on the part of these aid organizations, Haitians still need help. Haitians themselves have asked that people donate to Haitian-led organizations and non-Haitian organizations with proven track records in Haiti. These organizations include Sakala Haiti, Haiti Communitere, Volontariat pour le Dveloppement dHaiti, Doctors Without Borders, Nova Hope for Haiti, and Partners in Health. See the full list here. What are your thoughts? Please comment below and share this news! Image Credit: Pixabay.com I will never forget the smarmy look on Bill Clintons George Bushs faces when they went on TV after the Haiti earthquake said Dont send water,blankets, food; just send us money well see that all of it goes to help the Haitian people LIARS. You took the words right out of my mouth CAWS! Give us money says it all! I knew it was a screw job then, and now I know I was right! Im always right! So are you!! Can you imagine if Trump had done something like what the Clintons have done? The mainstream media would be covering the protesters around the clock. Disasters are an excuse to start the washing machine. Money laundering at its finest. 
3	14 Signs That Most Americans Are Flat Broke And Totally Unprepared For The Coming Economic CrisisMichael Snyder One of the primary principles that any of these financial experts that you see on television will teach you is to have a cushion to fall back on. At the very least, you never know when unexpected expenses like major car repairs or medical bills will come along. And in the event of a major economic collapse, if you do not have any financial cushion at all you will be a sitting duck. Yes, I know that there are millions upon millions of families out there that are just trying to scrape by from month to month at this point. I hear from people that are deeply struggling in this economy all the time. So I dont blame them for not being able to save lots of money. But if you are in a position to build up an emergency fund, you need to do so. We have been experiencing an extended period of relative economic stability, but it will not last. In fact, the time for getting prepared for the next great economic downturn is rapidly running out, and most Americans are not ready for it at all. The following are 14 signs that most Americans are flat broke and totally unprepared for the coming economic crisis #2 That same survey discovered that an additional 13 percent of all Americans do not have any credit card debt, but they do not have a single penny of emergency savings either. #3 At this point, approximately 62 percent of all Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. #4 Adults under the age of 35 in the United States currently have a savings rate of negative 2 percent. #5 More than half of all students in U.S. public schools come from families that are poor enough to qualify for school lunch subsidies. #6 A study that was conducted last year found that more than one out of every three adults in the United States has an unpaid debt that is in collections. #7 One survey discovered that 52 percent of all Americans really cannot even financially afford the homes that they are living in right now. #8 According to research conducted by Atif Mian of Princeton University and Amir Sufi of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, 40 percent of Americans could not come up with $2000 right now without borrowing it. #9 That same study found that 60 percent of Americans could not say yes to the following question #10 A different study discovered that less than one out of every four Americans has enough money stored away to cover six months of expenses. #11 Today, the average American household is carrying a grand total of 203,163 dollars of debt. #12 It is estimated that less than 10 percent of the entire U.S. population owns any gold or silver for investment purposes. #13 48 percent of all Americans do not have any emergency supplies in their homes whatsoever. #14 53 percent of all Americans do not even have a minimum three-day supply of nonperishable food and water in their homes. Perhaps none of this concerns you. Perhaps you think that this bubble economy can persist indefinitely. Well, if you wont listen to the more than 1200 articles that set out the case for the coming economic collapse on my website, perhaps you will listen to former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. The following is what herecently told one interviewer And as I have stressed so frequently, the signs that the next crisis is almost here are all around us. For example, the Baltic Dry Index has just plunged to a fresh record low, and things have already gotten so bad that some global shippers are nowfiling for bankruptcy Perhaps you do see things coming. Perhaps you do want to get prepared. If you are new to all of this, and you dont quite know how to get started preparing, please see my previous article entitled 89 Tips That Will Help You Prepare For The Coming Economic Depression. It will give you some basic tips that you can start implementing right away. And of course one of the most important things is something that I talked about at the top of this article. If at all possible, you have got to have an emergency fund. When the coming economic storm strikes, your family is going to need something to fall back on. If you are trusting in the government to save you when things fall apart, you will be severely disappointed. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

1	Saying that she could use a short reminder of why she has a significant sway in the shaping of the collegiate sports landscape, sources confirmed that former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice spent the first 15 minutes of a College Football Committee meeting Monday asking board members to explain what the fuck she was doing there. Before we get started, I just want to quickly ask: Does anybody have a reasonable explanation for why Im sitting here to deliberate the rankings of a bunch of football teams? said Rice, adding that she was hoping for further clarification on what possible aspect of her decades of work and life experience made her appear remotely qualified, or even interested in, a job that entails determining whether LSU is a better football team than Michigan State. Just to clarify, they decided to replace a computer algorithm with 13 people from across the country, and that group needed to include a former Secretary of State and a retired lieutenant from the Air Force. And now, Ill be relied upon every week to hash out the relative strengths and weaknesses of each team in the SEC, ACC, and Pac-12. That make sense to anyone? Sources confirmed that a visibly frustrated Rice then leaned back in her chair and asked to see the chart of offensive efficiency ratings so she could get this stupid fucking thing over with.

3	4 Innocent Native Americans Jailed For 18 Years, Set Free But Only After Agreeing Not To SueBy John Vibes Even at the time of the conviction, the case was extremely controversial, with many supporters of the four insisting on their innocence. Family and supporters have continued to fight over the years, collecting evidence of their innocence and pushing for a new trial. As the years went on, the case against them fell apart, making it obvious that the justice system had locked away innocent men for a crime that they did not commit. After years of legal posturing, a new trial was granted this month, and the wrongfully convicted men were quickly released after the new evidence was finally brought to light. Fearing legal retribution, the court forced the innocent men to agree that they would not sue the state or city, even though they should have every right to do so, after losing many of their adult years to prison. Attorney General Craig Richards admitted that there was no case against them, but insisted that the state did not make any mistakes in its investigation. This is not an exoneration. In this settlement, the four defendants agreed they were properly and validly investigated, prosecuted and convicted. Nonetheless, in light of the new evidence produced at the recent hearing, this settlement is just that, a compromise by the parties in a hard-fought legal battle. This compromise reflects the Attorney Generals recognition that if the defendants were retried today it is not clear under the current state of the evidence that they would be convicted, Richards office said in a statement. Obviously, if there was any doubt among the prosecution and the courts that these men were innocent, there is no way that they would allow them to walk free. Governor Bill Walker seemed pleased that the group was banned from filing a lawsuit, as he quickly released a statement praising the compromise. Julia Madeline (@JuliaFBXLawRpt) December 18, 2015 Im pleased the State of Alaska Department of Law and legal counsel representing the Fairbanks Four, including the State of Alaska Office of Public Advocacy, agreed on a settlement that satisfied the court. Im glad there was a process available to the Fairbanks Four where all involved could arrive at a mutually acceptable agreement. I hope this settlement helps to begin the healing process, and provides some measure of justice and closure for Eugene Vent, Kevin Pease, George Frese and Marvin Roberts as they return home to their families, the statement read. However, it is obvious that this agreement was made under duress, and that it was the only way for them to see freedom. By this logic, if the Fairbanks Four decided to pursue their legal rights and challenge their false imprisonment they would be thrown back in jail. And these people have the audacity to call this justice. It is also important to point out that Native Americans face regular police brutality and discrimination in the justice system. The racial group most likely to be killed by law enforcement is Native Americans, followed by African Americans, Latinos, Whites, and Asian Americans. Native Americans represent just 0.8 percent of the population but comprise 1.9 percent of police killings. It is not just Native Americans who are being wrongfully accused and caught up in the US justice system either. According to a recent report from the National Registry of Exonerations at the University of Michigan Law School, 125 falsely accused prisoners were exonerated in 2014. This is actually a record number of exonerations for one years time and is an increase of one-third since 2012.

Or maybe the men can sue *to sue.* In any case the state should never be able to get away with this. Id sue anyway. Why should the govt have exclusive right to go back on its word? Bastards. The ethnic origins of these men has no bearing on the merits of their case. The Free thought Project should be renamed the Thought Control Project. This entity is constantly attempting to divide Americans by race. Who finances this stuff? My guess would be George Soros, the evil creep who funds Black Lives Matter. Dont fall for it. We are all Americans. They were proven innocent and signed a no sue under duress. They can still sue and should. I agree; like the article stated they signed under duress and that can be used as a loophole provided they can find the right lawyer or legal team. One would think. Id really like to read that agreement White rascist BS. Governments are forms of slavery as these four where kidnapped from there lives and then ransomed back to their families by signing a contract under duress. Thishasnothing to do with white or not..it was white people fighting for them on their behalf you idiot Hard to believe the jewstice system would let out anyone. Finallysomeone who hit it! Dont forget the Catholic Church.. Catolicos and Jews.no more WASPs on the Supreme Courtnone.for the first time in history. White man justice using injustice to sanctify their justice. Can the racial crap. White people fought to free them. People are people. Blacks have been, natives(some) have been as ruthless and violent. Apparently you should go learn more about their own history. Bloody violent conquests of eachothers tribes. NorthEastern were more peaceful.Cherokee mostly too..a big nation they were. But. As any other people they were just as violent to eachother. It is only the fact of the contrast of their skin that differs. So what if Europeans had dark skin? Would that make it any differnet. War and conquest is a bitch. Life moves on, and we try to make the best out of it and bring as much justice as we can. Rule one: just because someone gives you a microphone doesnt mean you have to say much. FIle suits against the state, the court, the judge, prosecutors, EVERYBODY involved, no matter how minor, MUST PAY, the judge, with his careerPERMANENTLY! Everybody involved in the illegal prosecution must be FORCED to pay for a TELEVISED APOLOGY detailing their crimes and begging to be forgiven. The cost must come ONLY from their personal finances, not a single penny can come from any pubic money! Was this in Canada? Because a Judge should be able to make a ruling regarding the state of duress or not without them violating the agreement. If the Judge finds that the Prosecutor violated their Constitutional Rights..it should be a done deal. If not tis only AGAIN proves our research correct that he Constitution os actually suspended and has been for a very long time. Apparently they only give us enough window dressing to believe it still the law of the land to them. They are treasonous .. This should have never been an option. 
2	Anonymous Carries Out Another Brilliant Attack On ISIS The Hacker group Anonymous has just announced their next plan to combat ISIS. This time, it involves the support of all Americans. Their idea is to extend their current cyber war by having an ISIS Trolling Day, where web users around the world mock and make fun of Radical Islamists. Anonymous recommends posting photos of goats while [messaging] ISIS member with captions talking about their wives. They also suggest disrupting ISIS recruiting hash tags by bombarding them with these mockeries. Do not think you have to be a part of Anonymous, anyone can do this and [it] does not require any special skills. Do you think the government should shut down ISIS group websites and Twitter accounts? 
3	6 Ways to Show the World is in Cognitive DissonanceBy Paul A. Philips Given that the mainstream media acts as a vehicle for so much propaganda, lies and deception and the vast majority blindly accept what it says, paying scant attention to the contradictory evidence, this leads many into a state of cognitive dissonance when challenged with the truth while defending the mainstream medias official version. With the masses not getting the big hey wait a minute moment of realization accepting things that are in truth majorly not right, here are my 6 ways of showing that the world is therefore in a state of cognitive dissonance or even denial. People blindly go into agreement with the general consensus of the masses because they find it hard to accept that so many can be wrong about the same thing Can they all be wrong? Yes, of course they can. But then theres the related peer pressure to agree and fall in line and be one of the crowd But remember, the general consensus of the masses have given us flat Earth believers and football hooligans The whole fabric of our reality has been shaped by accepting authority figures from the very beginning starting with our parents and teachers Because this deep programming carries on in adulthood thats why so many people readily accept authority figures (such as those so-called expert academics and senior politicians etc.) regardless of what they say, even when glaringly obvious contradiction stares them in the face. Points 1 and 2 are the underlying tenets for cognitive dissonance. When challenged with regards to 1 and 2 they would also be the underlying reasons for denial. In effect the masses dismiss the conspiracies by accepting the coincidences. The 9/11 coincidence Indeed, you only have to look at 9/11 to see how people accept those so-called coincidences to believe the official version leading to so many disharmonies The bloodlines of the US Presidents coincidence How anybody can dismiss the conspiracies related to the fact that so many of the US Presidents are related using mere coincidence as an explanation beggars belief The Moon and the total eclipse coincidence Another example of dismissing something without question is in the case of the moon and the total eclipse. The moon is exactly 1/400th the suns size and is 400 moon diameters away from the sun. Thats why we see a total eclipse from our view on planet Earth with the moon in front of the sun. The fact that this relationship is considered mere coincidence, flatly dismissing suggestions outside of this leads to outright denial More reasons for going into a state of cognitive dissonance and denial. Here are some examples. Hard work has never harmed anyone Of course it has. History tells us how many workers, such as the exploited ones, have suffered serious health problems or even died as a consequence of their hard work but many go into agreement with this statement without questioning the circumstances. Conventional medicine is the only real approach to cancer treatment Many people place their faith in the establishments conventional medicine to the extent that when suffering with a life-threatening illness such as cancer they ignore the facts regarding the low success rates. Further they may ignore or even ridicule alternative therapies even though these therapies have shown to be successful. Shock Video! Gov. Caught Lying AboutVaccine Dangers Vaccinations are safe and effective This was a statement made at a Senate meeting by an authority (see video above). In light of this, how do you think the masses are going to react when given evidence to the contrary if they never take the trouble to question the statement? With the education system and the mass media brainwashing going on night and day, day and night, its a wonder how anybody can think at all. Real thinking, as Albert Einstein remarked, means to think the unthinkable. For many, to go outside of the implanted psyche, go beyond the realms of the programming and brainwashing and think the unthinkable, is just too much for them. With all the lies and deception in a world where nothing is as it seems requires thinking the unthinkable to discern the truth from lies. In line with 5, many people, when explained how the deceptions work and all the related lies dont get it because theyre in a state of unbelievable. They find it too hard to comprehend that they have been so dastardly deceived for so long. That their life-long beliefs (be-LIE-fs.) are untrue and those who they looked upon as heroes are actually villains having an involvement in screwing the people enslaved by the system What other examples can you think of related to the above 6 ways to show that the world is in cognitive dissonance or denial? Those in the state of cognitive dissonance or denial are victims. If theyre willing, they need all the assistance they can get in order to help themselves out of their victimhood consciousness and victim circumstances and become victor. I hope that this piece has served to encourage those in the know to help these individuals by standing up for what is truthful, fair honest and just. A compassionate and courageous stand is what the world needs most I also hope that this piece encourages living life as an enquiry. Remember, its a lot easier to take just a few hours or days to gather the facts from research and feel liberated rather than spend the rest of your life believing lies. You can read more from Paul A. Philips at his site NewParadigm.ws One sees the image of a land squirell on mars, and sees a land squirell, then begins the deconstruction of the image. As idiotic as this looks, I agree!! Pride keeps most of us from accepting the truth. We usually will determine within 3 minutes if someone is good or evil, and then we stick to our judgement. No one wants to think theyre not a good judge of someones character. You understand the meaning Each was a town on a mail route in ancient Turkey (Asia Minor) but its also 7 Church ages throughout history. Gods church in each town corresponded with things that would precisely reflect Gods true church through the ages. We are in the 7th one, the final Church on the route. Understand that the Church in Philadelphia, the one right before Laodecia is called the Faithful Church. You may read the entire description of that Church in Revelation but Gods TRUE Church, the faithful remnant STILL exists today (but SEPARATED from the Lukewarm Church), Notice Verse 10 Revelation 3 10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. They are ALIVE when the hour of trial comes upon the whole world, although theyll be protected. The lukewarm church appears wont be. One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If weve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. The bamboozle has captured us. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. Carl Sagan The biggest problem is early childhood conditioning in schools fostering a blind obedience to authority paired with protocols that destroy true critical thinking skills. The training is reinforced in many places of worship and in the workforce. The result is almost zero curiosity even to blatant acts of deception such as heavy chemtrailling directly overhead. Great piece. Total eclipse has been documented for hundreds of years. Im afraid that one is a coincidence. When you do not know yourself, you are incapable of loving yourself. When you are incapable of loving yourself, you are doomed to wandering aimlessly. You will fall for any trick, any lie. One must know without a doubt, exactly who and what they are. Everything in this world is but a distraction from one obtaining that knowledge. Once one has obtained it, they are uncontrolled. There is no need for answers to the person whom through self exploration has answered all the questions the world could ever ask. It is in that moment one identifies the throne of God, and He who sits upon it. It is in that moment that ones actions reflect that of Gods. Eat your GMO gruel and shut up. Thank you all for your comments and the many insightful perspectives The words cognitive dissonance can mean many things, either one is mad, or one is fooled, for example. It is better to describe the status quo more adequately: we are constantly fooled by a small minority of criminals who operate on a global scale. In the long run this means that only this small group of criminals will survive, if the majority cannot identify this dangerous enemy in time. Can you? 7: Tin foil hats dont work! 
1	In a blockbuster announcement today, Donald Trump announced that he is a very sad man who has nothing to live for other than drawing attention to himself. 'I'm a sad, pathetic human being and a complete waste of life,' said Trump, adding that he lives an empty existence, and that he is nothing more than a corporate shill, as well as a failed husband, father, and human being. 'I am the piece of shit you stepped in on your way to work. I am the vomit that hurls out of your mouth when you are sick. I want to kill myself very badly. Thank you.' Trump then slit his throat from ear to ear. 
2	Trey Gowdy Breaks The Internet With Shocking 2017 Announcement Ever since Donald Trump became our nations President-elect, Americans have been speculating that he has the potential to play a role within Trumps presidential administration. The relationship between the two leaders was affirmed when Gowdy was named as an executive member of Trumps transition. While this is a great honor, and one that Gowdy accepted with open arms, people have been wondering how this role will affect Gowdys duties as a Congressman. Specifically, Americans have been concerned he would be distracted from his efforts to hold Hillary Clinton accountable for her many crimes. Fortunately, Gowdy has confirmed he has no intention of putting Clintons case on the back burner. In fact, hes only been ramping up his efforts to hold the former Secretary of State accountable for her actions. Hes also holding Obamas feet to the fire. 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, Gowdy said of Obamas report on Benghazi. What do you think? Do you applaud Gowdy for continuing to fight for justice? 
1	In a swift and unexpected departure from their present business model, officials from Netflix revealed Wednesday that the company is currently considering adding a good movie to their online streaming service. With the growing success of the streaming platform, we thought the time was right to think about possibly offering, just for the sake of variety, one film that wasnt a total critical and commercial flop forgotten immediately after its initial theatrical release, said Netflix chief content officer Ted Sandaros, adding that the company is exploring various options for licensing a single high-quality movie that people would in fact enjoy watching and wouldnt turn off after the first 25 minutes. We feel the addition of a popular, above-average, well-made film would provide a nice counterbalance to our existing library of poorly received sequels, totally unknown indie dramas from four or five years ago that youve never heard of, and horrendous direct-to-DVD horror features. At press time, Netflix had reportedly abandoned the plan and added Somethings Gotta Give to its streaming library. 
2	Pissed Off Marines Letter Destroys Obama And His Support Of ISIS Our Marines are standing by and anxiously waiting for President Obama to take action following the brutal execution of James Foley by ISIS. Recently, a Marine veteran from the War on Terror, decided to take matters into his own handswriting a heated letter to Islamic extremists. Here is what Nick Powers had to say: #AMessagefromUStoISIS To all you ignorant Islamic extremist f-. As I sit here watching you execute women, children and men in the Middle East I chuckle. Why do I chuckle you may ask? Well let me explain something to you idiots who think you are so tough. You are scaring a population that doesnt know how to fight, youre bullying the weak. What did Saddams troops do when we came to town? Surrendered, twice All your threats of coming to America and raising your flag over the White House amuse me more than you could ever understand. In 2012 there were 21.2 million veterans in the United States. Do you understand what that means? That means there are millions of pissed off veterans who have been dealing with years of abuse from their government stabbing them in the backs and having to watch friends die because you Islamic idiots cant seem to act like human beings and stop terrorism and violence. Its one thing to take over an Islamic state, pretty sure we plowed through Fallujah in 4 days, do you really think you stand a chance on US soil? Do you really think it would be smart to poke that bear? Remember we are armed in the US and I can promise you that the Geneva Conventions will not apply to you. You attack us and there is no mercy. The ball is in your court Islam, we are more than ready to send you to your prophet Mohamed.

3	Giant Video Billboard of WTC7s Destruction Placed in Times Square for 9/11 AnniversaryMelissa Melton Against a backdrop of WTC7s repeated freefall, the words 5:20 PM on 9/11, WTC7 came down in a classic controlled demolition. The government says fire brought it down, but anyone who watches the video can see otherwise will appear. The 15-second spot will air every two minutes for four straight weeks. An estimated 105,000 people a day will see the video. The group ran a similar ad earlier this year in Torontos subway system. Some 2,250 architects and engineers have now signed a petition (here) that calls for a new investigation into the destruction of all three World Trade Center buildings on September 11, 2001. Polls have shown that a third of New Yorkers and half of all Americans are still unaware that WTC building 7, aka theSalomon Brothers Building, was even destroyed on 9/11. Of those who are aware of its destruction, many are still wondering how BBC News correspondent Jane Standley was magically able to report live on the WTC7ss collapse a full 15 minutes before it actually happened in real life while the building was clearlystill standing behind her, as seen below. Melissa Melton is a writer, researcher, and analyst for The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared, 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! 
3	What IF Citizens Really Understood the U.S. Constitution?Catherine J. Frompovich Mark Dice, a political activist and author, produces sham public opinion polls soliciting signatures on bogus petitions in order to take a read on the pulse of just how little U.S. citizens really know the U.S. Constitution. A classic example of people not knowing what the Constitution and Bill of Rights are about can be seen here. What is apparent in that video, I think, is that people probably are concerned when they hear frightening issues about freedom and basic rights being presented, but also dont realize that they are not informed or, perhaps, dont care enough to make cogent statements or decisions regarding the political health of the current situation in the USA. That truly is a shame! Probably, we have no one to blame but ourselves, especially since we allowed civics classes to evaporate from the grade school curriculum. I remember as a kid in grammar school, I couldnt understand why we had to study CIVICS, but we did. I am ever grateful that we had to. Why? Because from an early age I learned to respect the founding documents of our country; what they meant as a template of liberty and independence to others seeking freedom from oppression; and that I had an integral part to play in the role of being a U.S. citizen and how governance was supposed to work. Those lessons I have not been forgotten and, today, seem to be at odds with what I think is going on now. If thats the case, we can remedy that rather easily and at no financial costs. Heres how: Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan, offers FREE online Constitution courses that will educate, update, and engage participants about how the U.S. Constitution is a LIVING document, not something that is archaic and needs to be abandoned for something like a new world order, one world order, or the UNs Agenda 21. Here is the websiteto register for a free online U.S. Constitution course at Hillsdale College. To become familiar with Agenda 21, perhaps readers would like to listen to the Agenda 21 for Dummies YouTube Then, to further readers appreciation of Agenda 21, I came across an eyewitness whistleblower account of what happened at the Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, meeting about Agenda 21 in 1992. The United States of America owes us this, she quotes Third World country presenters as saying over and over again, speaker after speaker. Sitting next to Mrs. Barbara Bush, she heard President George H.W. Bush give a short, terse reply and then leave. In particular, take note of what she says about President Bushs remarks, as documented in this YouTube. Furthermore, consider what she has to say about the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) along with her interaction with and answers to questions posed by the audience she spoke before. She mentions a whitewashed document. According to her, the frightening and most difficult times we now live in are due to propagandizing. Moreover, she draws attention to issues that apparently are hidden from common view. As someone who considers herself a patriot, she says that Americans dont know the constitution. Besides, theres a relationship to truth and spin. Spin, in this writers opinion, is the coin of the realm for current media, mainstream journalists, public relations specialists, lobbyists, and government spokespersons. On the other hand, there is one individual whom I admire greatly, Judge Andrew Napolitano, who understands what the U.S. Constitution is and how it applies to life in the United States of America today. Nothing I can say about Judge Napolitano could do him justice [pardon the pun], so I encourage you to listen to his passionate talk about the state of affairs and the U.S. Constitution. Im certain you will be as moved as I am for once you get it, youve gotten it. Its about We, the People, not the controllers. http://www.youtube.com/embed/7n2m-X7OIuY Resource: Hillsdale College Online Courses Notes: [1]http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/not+worth+a+tinkers+dam.html 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.Her work has been published in national and airline magazines since the early 1980s.

3	New Site Dedicated to Fukushima Radiation ProtectionFormer Top U.S. Nuclear Official: Fukushima is ultimately unprecedented Its legacy of contamination is very different from any other radiological disaster in history. The Fukushima Radiation Protection site at: http://www.fukushima-shield.info/ is designed to provide an understanding of the risks posed to Americans by the ongoing radiation crisis that began on March 11, 2011 at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan. The site also discusses the many steps we can take now to help protect our health. No other site, to my knowledge, provides this dual approach or the comprehensive information on what to avoid and what to do. In the belief that knowledge is power, the site is designed to empower people to take important steps. As we face one of the greatest challenges to our health, the government and corporate media have been largely silent. So, we must inform and empower ourselves and each other. Dr. Simon Atkins PhD, DSc, an atmospheric scientist, a doctor of planetary risk, climate economist, and an alternative health specialist says that in 5 years, New York City will be as radiative as Fukushima is now. He believes that the crisis will force vast numbers of people to relocate to the Southern Hemisphere. Dr. Atkins recommends moving at least 15 degrees south of the equator an area that gets 3% of the radiation. He left his home in Montana for Uruguay which is 30 degrees south of the equator and receives less than .1% of the radiation. The good news is that several recommendations that are key to protection against the Fukushima radiation are also essential to health under normal circumstances. These include Nascent Iodine, Transdermal Magnesium, a good water distiller, and an effective shower filter. Nascent Iodine: Nascent Iodine helps protect the thyroid from the radioactive iodine coming from Fukushima. People who get thyroid cancer must have their thyroids removed and take thyroid medication for the rest of their lives. The Turner Network points out: For women, Thyroid cancer is about 95% curable; for men, it is about 95% fatal. To prevent your Thyroid from absorbing radioactive Iodine, your body needs a very good supply of non-radioactive iodine. If your body has the Iodine it needs, it wont try to store more. Nascent Iodine is essential to health in many other ways. Dr. David Brownstein, author of Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Cant Live Without It and The Iodine Crisis: What You Dont Know About Iodine Can Wreck Your Life says that 95% of Americans are iodine deficient. Amazon.com quotes Dr. Brownstein: I have yet to see any item that is more important to promoting health or optimizing the function of the immune system than iodine. In his book, IodineBringing Back the Universal Medicine, Dr. Mark Sircus cites a study by Dr. Gabriel Cousens that shows 23 vital functions of iodine in the body. Transdermal Magnesium: The June 2011 article Magnesium Offers Strong Radiation Protection by Mark Sircus, AC, OMD warns: Deficiencies in magnesium will wreak havoc with our bodys ability to detoxify and chelate heavy radioactive particles and explains much of the difference between one person withstanding radiation exposures and another person falling to radiation sickness..magnesium oil remains the number one item in my cancer protocol and thus number one for radiation exposure. Magnesium is our first line of defense against both. Dr. Sircus is the author of the 2011 book Transdermal Magnesium Therapy: A New Modality for the Maintenance of Health. The Amazon.com book description point outs: Magnesium is nothing short of a miracle; it has the potential to save you from considerable suffering and pain. The information presented here could even save your life. Magnesium is the lamp of life and one of the most important keys to overall health. When applied in the correct way, magnesium offers us a return to strength and vigor. When used in the emergency room, magnesium can save the day for both heart and stroke patients. When we are deficient in magnesium, over three hundred enzymes in our body are unable to function properly. Magnesium deficiency has been scientifically identified as a critical factor in the onset of a wide variety of diseases. For various reasons and to varying degree, two-thirds or more of the population is magnesium deficient. Waterwise Distiller: The article Breaking News: Fukushima Radiation Affecting Americans warns: The rainfall and snowfall are all radiated. Do not drink any water that has not been filtered. The tap water that flows from your faucet has NOT been treated to rid it of radioactive particles. Fortunately, the Waterwise Distiller removes radioactive particles as well as chlorine and fluoride which are two of the halogens that interfere with iodine receptor sites (keeping iodine from protecting the thyroid from cancer) and cause many diseases. Waterwise is recommended by Dr. Gabriel Cousens, a holistic physician, author of internationally-acclaimed books, and founder of the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center. Dr. David Williams says about Waterwise: This is the best-engineered, most user-friendly, and efficient distiller Ive found for such a reasonable price.and Ive spent years researching different types of water treatment devices.Im convinced that distillation is the only way to go. Showerwise Shower Filter: Chlorine is a halogen like iodine and blocks the receptor sites for iodine. So, it is important to limit exposure to chlorine in drinking, bathing, and swimming water. Taking a shower exposes you to more toxic chlorine than drinking 8 glasses of the same water. Dr. Riddle, Ph.D. KEMYSTS LABORATORY reports: Scientific studies have linked chlorineto cancer of the bladder, liver, stomach, rectum, and colon, as well as heart disease, atherosclerosis, anemia, high blood pressure, and allergic reactions.chlorine can destroy protein in our body and cause adverse effects on skin and hair. Since chlorine is required by public health regulations to be present in all public drinking water supplies, it is up to the individual to remove it in the home. The article Shower Water Toxicity by clinical nutritionist Monte Kline shows the importance of using a shower filter when showering or bathing. He recommends Showerwise which reduces chlorine by 95%. Things to Avoid The Fukushima Radiation Protection site shows the importance of avoiding: Steps to Consider The basis for each recommendation is shown on the site and the Fukushima Radiation Protection site is not affiliated with any product recommended. The site includes the following additional recommendations: While the steps recommended on the site can greatly enhance your health in addition to helping to protect you from the effects of the continuing Fukushima radiation, it is always advisable to check with your healthcare provider before following any recommendations. Note: The Home section of the Fukushima Radiation Protection website links to a Quick Reference for people who are already aware of the dangers of the Fukushima radiation crisis and simply want to review steps on how to protect themselves. The site is frequently updated as more information becomes available. 
3	Debate Underscores Fact Both Candidates Are Warfare State AdvocatesBy Kurt Nimmo Donald Trump made this perfectly clear last night. He said NATO should be sent into the Middle East to clean out the Islamic State. I think we have to get NATO to go into the Middle East with us, in addition to surrounding nations, and we have to knock the hell out of ISIS and we have to do it fast, Trump said. This is nothing new. Trump has talked about reformulating NATO since at least March. I like the idea of using NATO and also neighbors that arent in NATO and take them out. You gotta take them out, he said June during a campaign stop in Manchester, New Hampshire. Its going to have to be either readjusted to take care of terrorism or were going to have to set up a new a new coalition, a new group of countries to handle terrorism because terrorism is out of control, he declared in March. Readjustment is the key word here. The NATO invasion of Afghanistan was clearly illegal under international law. Article 2(3) and Article 2(4) of the UN Charter state peaceful means and dialogue between parties must be used to resolve hostilities. Rabia Khan notes the most crucial aspect that proves that the invasion of Afghanistan was illegal under international law was the fact that the UN Security Council had not given authorization for the invasion of Afghanistan, which would have been necessary in order for NATO to legally pursue Al Qaeda. War is inevitable, according to Trump. Tens of thousands of troops will be required to get rid of the Islamic State. We really have no choice. We have to knock out ISIS, he said last October. I would listen to the generals, but Im hearing numbers of 20,000 to 30,000. Neocons love this sort of talk. They are also enamored by Trump saying he will build up the military. Rebuilding Americas military, one of Trumps campaign planks, is a sine qua non for success. Russia as well as China should fear Americas technological prowess today as much as Gorbachev feared Ronald Reagans Strategic Defense Initiative in the 1980s. Russia and China are closing the technology gap with the United States, and if the United States does not reverse that, not much else it does will matter, the neocon and former LaRouche editor David P. Goldman wrote last month. Most neocons and unabashed warmongers support Hillary Clinton. In 2008, when Clinton was appointed secretary of state, the neocon house organ, Weekly Standard, hailed her transformation from First Feminist to Warrior Queen, more Margaret Thatcher than Gloria Steinem. The neocons have Hillary Clinton. And shes weaponized the State Department. She really likes regime change. And her nominating convention not only embraced the military, but it sanctified the very Gold Star families that Neocon-style interventionism creates, JP Sottile wrote in August. It kinda feels like reality has slipped off its axis and weve landed on a Bizarro World version of America. Democrats are acting like Republicans And the Neocons are fleeing from a party theyve used like a geopolitical cudgel for the better part of three decades. Either way, no matter who you vote for in November, and if you dont vote at all, the warfare state will continue. Clinton made it obvious last night the path to toward Armageddon will be followed. She blamed Russia for the cyberattacks. We need to make it very clear whether its Russia, China, Iran or anybody else the United States has much greater capacity. And we are not going to sit idly by and permit state actors to go after our information, our private-sector information or our public-sector information. And were going to have to make it clear that we dont want to use the kinds of tools that we have. We dont want to engage in a different kind of warfare. But we will defend the citizens of this country. We will be ready with serious political, economic, and military responses, she said earlier this month. So we have got to step up our game. Make sure we are well defended and able to take the fight to those who go after us. There is little if any information implicating the Russians, but that does not matter. The warfare state continually seeks new enemies and reinvents old ones. Trump may or may not go toe-to-toe with the Ruskies, but Clinton and the neocons are chomping at the bit to get something going, even if it slides into thermonuclear war. 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. the United States has much greater capacity. And we are not going to Nothing is what is seems and we are always being played in the Matrix. Trump slips in a globalist meme: NATO plus other nations in a Mega Coalition to wipe out ISIS = introduction of global military and police force. Another example, in a speech several weeks ago he emphasized the need to help young people build up their credit scores = iteration of Chinas Social Credit Score system that ranks citizens on everything they do, purchase, and say, who they know, what websites they visit, etc. The CEO of FICO said last year he supports using what people say on Facebook as part of their score. Programs for these kinds of systems are actively being developed in the US, Europe, and Russia. Hillary is a hawk against Russia we are told, but she and her buddies in Rockefellers Trilateralist Commission backed the development of Skolkovo, Russias version of Silicon Valley and through her State Dept Russia Reset program transferred sensitive and classified technology to Russia that boosted their military, according to an FBI warning in return, Hillary and her campaign manager received at least $35 million for their foundations from Russian oligarchs. It was another Trilateralist, Kissinger as Sec of State in the Nixon admin who transferred advanced missile technology to the USSR to close a wide gap. BTW, Ester Dyson, the founding chairwoman of ICANN and proponent of an international committee controlling the internet has been a huge supporter of the Skolkovo project, Ummm? If we just quit sending money and arms to Israel (oops, I meant ISIS) they would probably just fade away. What IS out of control is the number of people killed by US and Nato troops in the Middle East over the past few decades. 
2	Obama Forces American Citizens To House Illegal Immigrants The immigration crisis at the border has reached an all time high, and it is costing border communities thousands of dollars in public funds. As a result, cities and towns are faced with limited funds to take care of their own residents. Still, the government seems to be ignoring the problem. According to recent reports, a petition was filed this week that was intended to alleviate some of the burden on local towns by using Democratic donations to take care of the many illegal immigrants being housed at their request. It also asked for illegal immigrants to be housed on White House grounds, instead of being delivered in busloads to towns not equipped to handle the invasion. After 12 years of going live, the petition mysteriously faced a glitch, and thousands of people who attempted to sign the position on the We the People website were unable to do so. Either the site was faulty, or somebody in the White House saw the petition as a huge threat. Whatever the case may be, the public is fed up and it is likely going to take more than disabling a website to stop them from speaking out and pushing back. Already groups have begun to protest, and Americans have finally decided that they will not simply bow down to the government. What do you think? Should the government stop putting the needs of illegal immigrants over those of the American people? 
1	After an extensive three-month-long search, the Polk County Sheriffs Department located missing 9-year-old Joshua Meyers in an abandoned home, rescued the child from his captors, and returned him to his loving parents, the still bound and gagged boy imagined Tuesday. Joshua Meyers was returned safe and sound to his fathers arms, dreamed Meyers. According to the kidnapped childs imagination, Meyers was liberated from his abductors when 30 law enforcement agents swooped down from helicopters, crashed through the windows of the basement where he was being kept, and carried the desperate third-grader away to safety. Blocking out the sight and stench of his surroundings, the boys imagination went on to report that Meyers was led by authorities into the arms of his overjoyed parentsa complete fantasy the 9-year-old was somehow able to conjure up despite the fact that he was lying face down on a filthy concrete floor, his arms and legs restrained by rope. Im so happy to be free, said a delirious Meyers, the sound of his voice muffled by the sock stuffed deep inside his mouth. I knew my Mom and Dad would never stop looking for me. I knew they would find me. They said everything is going to be all better now, continued Meyers, disregarding strict orders from his captors to quiet down and stop moaning. And that nothing like what happened back there will ever happen to me again. In his weak and weary mind, Meyers was then swaddled in a warm blanket, placed in the front seat of the sheriffs car, and served hot chocolate with both marshmallows and whipped cream. Emergency medical technicians, envisioned by the shivering, emaciated child, reportedly examined Meyers injuries and determined that they were not life threatening and would not leave any physical or emotional scars. Its over! the kidnapped child said, his sudden exclamation sending several large rats scurrying from between his feet. Following his fictitious rescue, the 9-year-old boy was driven to the Supreme Court, where he pointed out his abductors, sentenced them to a million years in jail, and was rewarded with a brand new bike for all he had been through. According to Meyers vivid imagination, he also received a formal apology from his captors, who admitted that they should never have dragged the boy away from his mother, blindfolded him in the trunk of their car, or told him that they were going to kill his dog if he didnt cooperate. We are bad men and we know that what we did was wrong, but we were afraid Joshua would beat us up if we untied him, said Ed Jackson, a mental composite of the three men currently keeping watch over the severely dehydrated and hallucinating child. Sorry, Josh. Maybe youd feel better if we gave you the gazillion dollars we took from your parents. And the little pinkie finger you miss so much, he added. Meyers imagination, once used to play with his G.I. Joe action figures, then conjured up one last fleeting daydream, in which the boy, seated at the dinner table, was surrounded by his mother and father, his little brother Henry, and a warm viscous fluid that kept running out of his mouth. 
1	A study released Thursday by the University of Chicagos Department of Psychology has found that debilitating self-pity is the most effective strategy to win back the love of a former romantic partner. Our research shows that the more you lament your current situation, fixating on how youll never find anyone as good as your ex and how you cant possibly enjoy life now that he or she is gone, the sooner that person will return to you and say he or she cant live without you, said report co-author Sylvia Hawkins, adding that researchers discovered a link between sitting on the couch all day staring teary-eyed into space and ones former partner walking right back through the door. The data revealed that ex-partners are twice as likely to call you up and say that the breakup was the biggest mistake of their lives if you torture yourself incessantly until you can barely function at work. Furthermore, we determined that there was a direct correlation between how much you feel sorry for yourself and the probability of an ex-lover desperately begging you to forgive him or her for leaving you. The report also concluded that holding your head up high and moving on with your life virtually guaranteed that you would never find love again. 
1	George Howard Buell, an inmate wrongfully imprisoned at Stateville Correctional Center for third-degree sexual assault and aggravated battery, won't shut the hell up about being innocent. George Buell Buell, 46, an Elmhurst, IL electrician, was convicted of raping and burglarizing his elderly neighbor in 1994, despite the fact that he was at work when the crime occurred. He was mistakenly sentenced to a prison term of 20 years to life. Since then, his imprisonment has been a source of nonstop bellyaching. 'I'm completely innocent of the charges brought against me,' Buell said in yet another long-winded jailhouse statement last week. 'I am a victim of inept police work, conflict-of-interest issues among the prosecution, and a lackadaisical defense. Anyone with even a peripheral familiarity with my case could see the inconsistencies. It's a complete miscarriage of justice.' Buell's insufferable tirades have taken the form of numerous appeals to state and federal courts, unsuccessful attempts to launch public petitions, and e-publishing a 400,000-word autobiography titled Won't Someone Please Hear My Anguished Plea? 'Okay, I get ithe's innocent already,' said Eric Holsapple, Buell's court-appointed attorney. 'Like I don't know that. I only toiled for, like, forever years making a case out of it. Every time I talk to him, I have to brace myselfokay, here comes the sob story, again.' After spending four years trying to capture the media's attention with the story of his innocence, the wrongfully imprisoned inmate began pestering the courts in 2001 for additional DNA testing or a declaration of a mistrial. 'I will take a lie-detector test. I will do anything. I don't belong in prison,' the incessant motormouth said. 'The security tape in the garage where I work shows me pulling into the lot at the time the crime took place. It wasn't admitted as evidence. That fact alone should be grounds for a mistrial.' Buell's cellmate, Bob Hannan, has heard the 'in jail for a crime I didn't commit' song and dance 'about a million times.' Said Hannan: 'The parking lot surveillance videotape, the horrible injustice. I've heard it all. A lot. I didn't like the way they handled my case either. But you don't hear me yammering about it all the time. It's called moving on.' [pagebreak] The consortium of attorneys and social-justice activists who were unlucky enough to have been assigned the task of getting Buell and his big, wrongfully imprisoned mouth out of jail have gotten perhaps the biggest earful of his whining. Darron and Eugene Buell speak to reporters after dragging themselves to yet another prison visit to hear their brother go on and on about his innocence. Tania Schultz, a senior staff attorney at Northwestern University's Center On Wrongful Convictions, has worked on Buell's case for over two years. Although she is convinced that Buell is innocent, she is 'fed up' with the subject. 'Even the unjustly incarcerated should do other things in prison, like lift weights, or knit,' Schultz said. 'Sadly, securing his freedom seems to be George's sole interest in life. He's obsessed with getting his life back.' Added Schultz: 'All the time, it's 'free me' this, 'free me' that. Me, me, me, me, me.' Buell's brother Darron, who visited the prisoner last Friday, reported afterward that Buell 'did most of the talking.' 'No prizes guessing what he was talking about,' Darron added. Buell's sob story will be heard by the Illinois State Supreme Court during its next term. 'I can't wait. Since being incarcerated, my innocence is all I have to cling to in this horrible, horrible place,' said Buell, echoing comments that he has made to anyone who's had the misfortune of being in contact with him at any time during the past decade. 'This goes beyond my worst nightmares of anything I could imagine ever happening to me, and I hope the justice system finally does somethinganythingto free me from this living nightmare.' 'I just wish he'd shut his trap about it,' attorney Holsapple said. 'I'm working on his appeal. That's more than most prisoners get. But is he satisfied? No. All he cares about is getting out of jail. I'm like, 'George, get a life.'' 
3	As Syrias Fate Hangs In The Balance, YPG Kurds Join The U.S. War PartyOp-Ed by Afraa Dagher How is it possible for any onlooker to actually believe that the United States is fighting ISIS when the United States has been supporting takfiri terrorists since the very beginning of the movement in Syria, under the name of the Free Syrian Army? Since the very beginning, the United States has been funding and supporting the same people who have been beheading, bombing, and killing our people and justifying it by virtue Wahhabist radical ideology. These same psychopaths kill our people and insert Islam into the middle of this global plot against the entire Middle Eastern region. Here are more questions: Is it Saudi Arabia and Qatar and most of the Arab States, the collection known as the GCC, who trained them? Is it the United States and Israel, on Turkish soil and Jordanian camps, who trained them? After all, convoys of Toyota trucks didnt come suddenly out of the sky. They did not appear miraculously. The fact is that the Free Syrian Army and the moderates receive most of this aid from the West and, because the moderates and the FSA are exactly the same as ISIS, Nusra, al-Qaeda, those trucks merely find themselves into the hands of terrorists who go by another name. These are the questions that should be asked of and by Western audiences. But there are other questions that must be asked of those who live in Syria. By that, I mean the Kurdish forces. To them, I ask If Syria welcomed you when you were in need of another homeland and Syria gave you a Syrian nationality then why, when this country is under attack, would you not join its sons defending this land? Why would you not join the Syrian Arab Army? Why would you join with the U.S.? Why did the Syrian Kurds (YPG) instead create their own forces and refuse to join our army? More importantly, why did they join forces with the FSA? What does that say about them? Simply put, it means that they are willing to work with and support those who want to destroy Syria. The YPG will defend themselves but not Syria. They want to cut a part of this land out for themselves. They do not want to live together with their Syrian brothers. Now, many of those YPG Kurds have directly joined U.S. forces which confirms the suspicions of many that their goal is the same as that of the Western imperialists, i.e. the weakening of Syria by fracturing it in pieces with various enclaves cut out for various ethnic groups. This will not only weaken Syria but it will provide an advantage for Israel. We now see YPG forces attacking SAA positions in al-Hasaka province, a province which the Kurds want to separate, along with Qamlishi, from Syria and place it under the name, Rojova. This is Syria. There people in this country other than the Kurds. The same goes for both of the provinces mentioned above. There are Muslims, Christians, Assyrians, and others. The Kurds may want to displace them for their own selfish reasons but, God willing, Syrians will remain united, despite the best efforts of the West and their proxies to do otherwise. Afraa Dagher is a political analyst currently residing in Syria. She has made numerous media appearances commenting on the current state of affairs inside Syria as well as the nature of the current crisis. She has appeared on RT, PRESS TV, and is a regular guest on selfnews Post writer Brandon Turbevilles Truth on the Tracks radio program. Her website is www.SyrianaAfrona.wordpress.com. The author of this post is very biased, and totally ignorant of Syrian Kurds relations with the Syrian government. Doesnt take much research to see that the Kurds have been oppressed by Syrian Arab leaders since the birth of the Syrian Arab Republic. Look back to the early 1960s and you will see Syrian Arab leaders stripping hundreds of thousands of Syrian Kurds (even some that had served in the SAA) of their Syrian citizenship in the Jazira census. They also Arabized Kurdish lands by settling Bedouin Arabs there in the Arab cordon in the 70s, after they outlawed the Kurdish language and massacred Kurds in both the Newroz festivals in the mid 1980s, and in Qamishli in 2004. Kurds were never welcomed by Arab leaders in Syria as equals. Now Kurds are going their own way and you Assad supporters want to sweep decades of oppression under the rug, and act like Syrian Kurds were living in paradise under Arab hegemony. 
1	Claiming that enough time had surely passed since they last caused a global economic meltdown, top executives from the U.S. financial sector told reporters Monday that they are just about ready to completely destroy the world again. Representatives from all major banking and investment institutions cited recent increases in consumer spending, rebounding home prices, and a stabilizing unemployment rate as confirmation that the time had once again come to inflict another round of catastrophic financial losses on individuals and businesses worldwide. Its been about five or six years since we last crippled every major market on the planet, so it seems like the time is right for us to get back out there and start ruining the lives of billions of people again, said Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. We gave it some time and let everyone get a little comfortable, and now were looking to get back on the old horse, shatter some consumer confidence, and flat-out kill any optimism for a stable global economy for years to come. People are beginning to feel at ease spending money and investing in their futures again, Blankfein continued. Thats the perfect time to step in and do what we do best: rip the heart right out of the worlds economy. According to sources, the overwhelming majority of investment bankers are ready to get the ball rolling by approving a host of complex and poorly understood debt-backed securities that are doomed to quickly default, as well as issuing startlingly high-risk loans certain to drive thousands of companies into insolvency. Top-level executives also told reporters that when it comes to depleting the life savings of millions of people and sending every major national economy into a tailspin, they feel refreshed and raring to go. The other day I actually overheard someone on the sidewalk utter the words Im saving up for retirement, and right away I thought to myself, Well, time to get down to work, said Morgan Stanley chairman James P. Gorman, adding that the increasing number of individuals entertaining ideas of starting their own businesses or buying houses was the financial sectors cue to set off another devastating global recession. Were definitely thinking on a huge scale again, because we all really enjoy toying with the livelihoods of millions of people overseas and forcing them to wonder why reckless, split-second decisions made thousands of miles away dictate their whole countrys socioeconomic future. Plus, itll be nice to finally wipe out the Euro once and for all this time, Gorman added. While most private equity firms, investment banks, and hedge funds are reportedly still undecided on the precise route to take in order to torpedo the job market and crash all international stock exchanges, sources confirmed they are nearly in position to resume gambling away trillions of dollars belonging to the American populace. Weve got a lot of options on the table; its just a matter of picking which one we want to use to paralyze every single sector of the world economy, said Capital One executive vice president Peter Schnall. We already burst the dot-com and housing bubbles, so this time we can maybe mix it up by popping the education bubble and shattering the lives of everyone with outstanding student loans. Or maybe well artificially inflate prices of stocks in social media companies and then pull the rug out, bankrupting every investor tied to companies like Facebook and Twitter. Or do both. On second thought, maybe well wipe out the housing market again too, just for the hell of it, Schnall quickly added. Might as well, right? According to a recent survey of Wall Street officials, 82 percent said they were excited to shake off the rust and send the Dow and NASDAQ into another freefall. Additionally, 75 percent of respondents admitted they have been champing at the bit for months to wholly undermine the nations local banks and money market accounts, leaving Americans too terrified to leave their savings anywhere. Moreover, the chief financial officers from Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo unanimously told reporters that it has been way too long since they last saw the utterly dejected faces of American families whose homes had just been foreclosed on due to circumstances totally beyond their control. Now that the publics efforts to curtail questionable Wall Street trading practices have all but ceased, its time for us to bring the world to its knees again, said AIG CEO Robert Benmosche. There are still plenty of opaque financial derivatives, high-frequency trading operations, and off-balance sheet transactions out there, all with virtually no federal regulation. Trust me, we can definitely work with that. And if anything, we can always just lobby for further concessions and deregulation in Washingtonwhich, by the way, is so, so easy to doand then we can cause as much damage as we want. Added Benmosche, And while were at it, well make sure we once again come away from this whole thing scot-free and far wealthier. 
3	Australia Down-Scheduling Marijuana: Legalizes Therapeutic Use Nationwide in NovemberBy Steven Maxwell The TGA has recognized the medicinal use of some cannabinoids since 1984, yet Australias National Drugs and Poisons Scheduling Committee (NDPSC) has kept cannabis a Schedule 9 controlled substance. The scheduling of cannabis and its extracts has been considered by the National Drugs and Poisons Scheduling Committee (NDPSC) on a number of occasions, the TGA states in a description of the scheduling history. Currently, cannabis is a Schedule 9 substance, i.e., a prohibited substance which may be abused or misused and the manufacture, possession, sale or use of which is prohibited by law. Australia has gone through a similar heart-wrenching legalization process as many other nations, driven by parents illegally treating their epileptic children with cannabis while citizens also openly participate in mass civil disobedience of recreational smoking events as depicted in the video report below. In January of this year, the TGA launched a public proposal to re-schedule cannabis to allow medical use. The response was overwhelmingly in favor of rescheduling. 35 submissions were received. 27 submissions supported the proposal, 4 submissions opposed, 3 submissions did not state a position, and 1 submission was for information only. In February, the Australian Parliament passed a measure that allowed medical cannabis to be legally cultivatedfor medical and scientific purposes. Internet searches for how to grow weed surged in Australia. This week, the TGA delegates decided to down-schedule cannabis and tetrahydrocannabinols (plant, its seeds, its extracts and derivatives of the extracts) from Schedule 9 to Schedule 8 for human therapeutic use. The use of cannabis will be permitted with a prescription order from a trained physician. Advocates are celebrating the decisionas another step in the right direction, but they warn that regulations could take some time to set up. The TGA says more studies are needed about cannabis and lists some of the regulatory concerns as follows: a) the risks and benefits of the use of the substance; b) the purposes for which a substance is to be used and the extent of use of a substance; c) the toxicity of the substance; d) the dosage, formulation, labelling, packaging and presentation of a substance; e) the potential for abuse of a substance; and f) any other matters that the Secretary considers necessary to protect public health. With this decision, Australia joins a wave of marijuana legalization across the globe. Medical cannabis use is already decriminalized in many countries, including more than half of the United States. Countries like Uruguay and Canada, and four US states Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and Alaska are leading the charge for legal recreational use. Perhaps one of the biggest reasons that marijuana legalization now seems inevitable is that social conservatives are beginning to change their minds. In July, a majority of US Republicans polled supported the legalization of recreation cannabis. Despite this growing momentum of common sense, the DEA recently announced its intention to keep cannabis a Schedule 1 drug in the United States alongside heroin and LSD, failing to recognize a single medical benefit from the plant. The DEA is on the wrong side of history, much like alcohol prohibition was. Before you know it, cannabis strains will be treated like the fine winesof the Australian hills.

1	In just the latest of his bumbling misadventures, dimwitted Andy Griffith Show actor Jim Nabors, 82, reportedly found out today that he goofed up again after inadvertently marrying another man in a Seattle ceremony. Aw, now, I didnt mean to go and get myself hitched to a fella! said the lovable but slow-witted Nabors, who in a series of humorous blunders managed to get mixed up in a legal gay marriage ceremony with local man Stan Cadwallader before a Washington state judge. Heck, I mean, a fella and another fella? I dont figure that much because, see, if hes a man, and Im a man...then...then....well, golly, I cant make heads nor tails of this mess! At press time, a red-faced Nabors reported being even more confused after being kissed by Cadwallader. 
2	Orlando Victim Reveals Absolutely Chilling Thing The Killer Did While Shooting Him For the past few days, Americans have been struggling to process the tragic mass shooting in Orlando. Social media has been flooded with social media users offering their thoughts and prayers to families and friends of those who were injured or killed in the devastating attack. The FBI has already released preliminary information suggesting that Omar Mateen was motivated by his Muslim faith. Agents have been desperately investigating details that could help to prevent future violence. Dozens of victims transported from the students will help in the process, piecing together the events of the tragic night. Norman Casiano, who suffered from four gunshot wounds in the incident, has already publicly revealed his experience. The victim told Fox News Channels Peter Doocy that he hid in a bathroom stall as the gunman slaughtered club-goers all around him. He never spoke from when I was there, Casiano recalled of the shooter. He laughed when he was shooting inside of the stall. It was just like a laugh of satisfaction. Like, Im getting done what I came here to do, and it is imprinted in my head forever. Casiano claims that he dove to the floor as soon as he heard gunshots, following what he had seen on TV. He then military crawled to the bathroom, where he hid in a stall with about 30 other people. He recalled seeing everyones face of just genuine fear all around him. Everyone kept their silence, and the shots became louder. Outside you could just hear bullet after bullet after bullet after bullet just going off as it got closer and closer to our stall, he commented. Please send your thoughts and prayers to the victims and all of those affected. Michael Seiden (@SeidenLocal10) June 13, 2016 
2	Trump Just Made A HUGE Announcement About His VP... Could This Be It? Speaking to massive audience of several thousand supporters in Cincinnati, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump announced that one way or another, Newt Gingrich will be involved in our government. The comment was made while Trump was addressing comments that the $51 million his campaign raised happened in June alone. Even Newt couldnt believe that, Trump joked. When he signaled Gingrich on stage, the crowd began cheering Newt, Newt, Newt! Listen to these people, it sounds like a football game, Trump joked. I dont know, Newt, are they booing or are they saying Newt? No, they love Newt, we all love Newt, Newt gets it. Im not saying its Newt, Trump commented on his Vice Presidential pick. But if its Newt nobodys going to be beating him in those debates, thats for sure. Nobodys beating our Newt. We like Newt, Trump continued. And Ill tell you what, Newt has been my friend for a long time. And Im not saying anything and Im not telling even Newt anything, but I can tell you in one form or another, Newt Gingrich is going to be involved with our government. Gingrich has long been seem as a top choice for Trump, given he was one of the first to publicly endorse him. But the mystery will remain until sometime next week, when the official announcement is made. 
3	NYT Insults Intelligence in Latest Syrian Op-EdDear New York Times: It Takes Two to Tango In New York Times (NYT) latest, anonymous editorial, they berate the Syrian government for not making good on Kofi Annans alleged peace deal, openly admitted by US policy think-tanks as a rouse to buy time for a floundering NATO proxy force and to be used as leverage to justify a partial invasion by NATO-member Turkey into northern Syria. More specifically, the Fortune 500 funded Brookings Institution think-tank, in their latest report, Assessing Options for Regime Change stated (emphasis added): An alternative is for diplomatic efforts to focus first on how to end the violence and how to gain humanitarian access, as is being done under Annans leadership. This may lead to the creation of safe-havens and humanitarian corridors, which would have to be backed by limited military power. This would, of course, fall short of U.S. goals for Syria and could preserve Asad in power. From that starting point, however, it is possible that a broad coalition with the appropriate international mandate could add further coercive action to its efforts. page 4, Assessing Options for Regime Change, Brookings Institution. And now that is exactly what the UN, NATO, and its massive network of propagandists are attempting to sell the public including the New York Times anonymous editorial board. While the NYT unprofessionally throws around adjectives like despicable brutal and describes the events unfolding in Syria as slaughter, even by the Syrian oppositions own admissions and throughout reports by top rights groups like Human Rights Watch (HRW), they are fighting just as despicably, brutally, and committing slaughter just as readily. The HRW report titled, Syria: Armed Opposition Groups Committing Abuses, is broken into three parts in regards to the rebels forces; kidnapping, torture, and executions. And while the report attempts to focus mainly on atrocities carried out against security forces and government supporters, the mention of civilian victims is made as well. The report states: Abuses include kidnapping, detention, and torture of security force members, government supporters, and people identified as members of pro-government militias, called shabeeha. Human Rights Watch has also received reports of executions by armed opposition groups of security force members and civilians. Under the title Kidnappings, it is stated: Abuses include kidnapping, detention, and torture of security force members, government supporters, and people identified as members of pro-government militias, called shabeeha. Human Rights Watch has also received reports of executions by armed opposition groups of security force members and civilians. Human Rights Watch also expressed concern about FSA [Free Syrian Army] kidnappings of Iranian nationals, some of whom the group has confirmed are civilians. Under Executions, HRWs report describes the Syrian oppositions practice of rounding up suspects and killing them without trial, generally on the grounds of confessions coerced through torture. Other executions are simply carried out as reprisals with no apparent offense beyond suspected affiliations being cited. What responsible government would allow overtly armed factions to carry out such crimes within its borders? What responsible journalist would omit these documented crimes during a discussion over how to end the bloodshed in Syria? Clearly both sides are armed, both sides are fighting one another, both sides are alleging the other is committing atrocities while declaring their own hands clean. What the NYT also conveniently fails to mention is that the rebels they are so adamant in defending, have outright rejected Kofi Annans peace deal, in effect rendering the entire deal null and void, declaring their intentions to continue fighting the Syrian government with the constant torrent of cash and weapons pledged to them during the last Friends of Syria summit a summit that disingenuously supported the peace deal while openly making provisions to continue the bloodshed. How could President Bashar al-Assad withdraw troops then, even if he wanted to? Finally, the NYT shamelessly cites hearsay over an alleged cross border incident admittedly unconfirmed and involving conflicting reports in an attempt to further demonize the Syrian government and provide the impetus for Turkey, a NATO member since the 1950s, to establish Wall Street and Londons prescribed safe havens and humanitarian corridors from which to continue their attempts to topple the Syrian government. As a matter of fact, Todays Zaman literally announced verbatim that Turkeys next step would be indeed to implement this very strategy, conjured up not from within the halls of the Turkish government in Ankara, but within the pages of a Fortune 500-funded Washington think-tank. An informed citizen would recognize NYTs editorial as just another mouthpiece of a singular Western agenda of premeditated violence with predetermined prescribed courses of action prepared to topple the government of Syria a plan decades in the making. It is not that conditions on the ground have coincidentally converged to justify these plans it is that professional liars like the NYT, the TV networks and the governments of NATO are creating and/or lying about the conditions on the ground when they otherwise would not exist to justify these plans. Recognize that we are once again being lied to by the New York Times, just as we were by Curveball and Donald Rumsfeld regarding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, or the admittedly false humanitarian claims made by the Libyan opposition, or most recently by the US government-funded Kony 2012 propaganda campaign. How many more times must we be lied to by the exact same shrill voices before we, as a rule, doubt, question, and challenge everything they say?

3	A No-Fly Zone By Any Other Name - The ISIL-Free Zone In SyriaBy Brandon Turbeville Unfortunately, however, the big decision was not made at the NATO Article 4 meeting, it was made bilaterally days before between Turkey and the United States. The new agreement effectively creates a buffer zone that will span from the Turkish border line into Syria. It will extend from Azaz in the East to Jarablus in the West and as far south as al-Bab. The width of the zone would be about 68 miles and would extend around 40 miles deep into Syria, right on the doorstep of Aleppo. The zone will be much smaller than that which Turkey and the United States have been calling for over the last few years and will not even stretch the length of the Turkey-Syria border. But it is a start. True to form, the US and Turkey are attempting to obfuscate the fact that their new agreement is the creation of a no-fly zone by renaming it an ISIL-free zone. This is the same tactic used when the term no-fly zone and buffer zone began to draw too much ire from observers only a year ago. Then, the term became safe zone. Now, the NATO powers are playing semantics yet again and deeming the area an ISIL-free zone as if it were merely the unveiling of a new soda minus a crucial ingredient. Semantics have served NATO and the United States well over the years. After all, a simple name change of terrorist organizations has made the Anglo-American powers able to produce moderate rebels and the most frightening terrorist organization the world has ever seen while using the same group of terrorists. The description of the ISIL-free zone is that it will be a distinguished area in which the Turkish and U.S. military will engage in aggressive operations against ISIS. It is said that this area will also function as a place where civilians displaced by the Syrian crisis may run to for safe haven and where moderate rebel forces can maintain a higher presence free from the battles with ISIS. Once the area is cleared, the plan is to give control to as-yet-unidentified moderate Syrian rebel groups. The United States and Turkey have differing interpretations as to which groups can be defined as moderate, the Washington Post reports. The reality, however, is that the ISIL-free zone will be nothing more than a Forward Operating Base deeper into Syrian territory, working under the direct protection of the U.S. military and Turkish air force. Keep in mind, there has been no mention of the question of what would happen if the Syrian Air Force began bombing ISIS positions within the ISIL-free zone. Would NATO interfere? Would NATO should the Syrian planes down? What if the Syrian Air Force began attacking the non-existent moderate rebels in the zone? Would NATO should the Syrian planes down? If the answer to either of these questions is yes, the ISIL-free zone is actually a no-fly zone. After all, the Syrian military is the only party in the Syrian crisis that maintains and uses an air force. It must also be pointed out that the justifications on which the ISIL-free zone are based are nothing than myths. First, the idea that there is even such a thing as a moderate rebel force operating inside Syria has been debunked time and time again. From the beginning, there were no moderate forces fighting against the secular government of Bashar al-Assad. The alleged opposition was nothing more than death squads, jihadists, snipers, and terrorists a presentation the West attempted to maintain until images of beheadings, torture, and cannibalism were too numerous to control any longer. Enter the Islamic State ISIS was never a truly separate force from the cannibals operating in Syria since the beginning of the crisis. It was always on the ground in Syria, going by the name of Jobhat al-Nusra or al-Qaeda, the Free Syrian Army, Yarmouk Brigade, or Harakat Hazm. The name ISIS is truly nothing more than a name. It has, however, been immensely successful at drumming up American fear and support of military adventures abroad. Unfortunately, with just the right amount of propaganda, Western audiences are easily convinced of just about anything. The second myth is that there is a war on ISIS being conducted by the U.S. coalition and Turkey. For two countries opposed to ISIS, one would easily be convinced of the opposite after examining the facts on the ground. Turkey has long acted as a funnel and a conduit for ISIS crossing into Syria, and the United States can be credited with the creation of the terrorist organization entirely. With aid being provided to so-called moderate rebels, the U.S. and Turkey have directly armed ISIS, funded them, and provided them with the necessary logistics and intelligence to conduct successful attacks in Iraq and Syria. U.S. airstrikes allegedly against ISIS in Iraq and Syria have likewise been questionable at best. U.S. airstrikes have largely targeted Syrian infrastructure, civilian areas, and Syrian food storage facilities. American airpower has been notorious for dropping supplies to ISIS and firing on the Iraqi military. In instances where the U.S. has targeted ISIS, it has largely been an effort of death squad herding, border shaping, or protection of Western oil fields from terrorist brigades who may have briefly gotten off the reservation. Even the idea of a Buffer Zone has been in the cards since the beginning of the Syrian crisis. Both the United States and Turkey have long argued for the creation of a no-fly zone, with Turkey renewing its calls for such a zone on an almost weekly basis. Indeed, the infamous military-industrial complex think tank The Brookings Institution has provided detailed propositions for the creation of buffer zones and a multi-front war for the ultimate purposes of destroying the secular government of Bashar al-Assad. Regardless, the Anglo-American powers are successfully using semantics yet again to achieve a goal that was unpalatable to the public when different words were originally used. Unfortunately, the change from no-fly zone to ISIL-free zone will be an effective mechanism to ensure that the small portion of the American public attempting to follow current affairs support the new U.S. moves in Syria. While the overwhelming majority of Western audiences tuned in and dropped out a long time ago, it will unfortunately be the Syrian people who pay the price for their absence.

There is ONE PERSON allowed to issue a no fly zone order in Syria, ASSAD! Anyone else is trying to MURDER Assad! who isnt aware of this??? Syria has no Central Bank just like Libya. They have been self-sufficient without meddling from the US government and the IMF and their cronies. It s all about regime change just like in Libya. The PTB want to control all governments in the world. They have basically destroyed the US economy and we are all debt slaves to their agenda. I refuse to watch any news from MSM because they create the scenarios they want us to believe. As long as the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds are in control there will be no peace on Earth. 
2	According To Government Unions, You May Be Fired For Supporting Duck Dynasty According to recent reports, government unions have started to demand that any fans publicly endorsing Duck Dynasty should be fired. Two senior managers at Eglin Air Force base in Florida had bumper stickers on their vehicles reading: Duck Dynasty: I Support Phil. According to the Union representing them, the American Federation of Government Employee, the action is an offense that could cause both men to be fired. According to Alan Cooper, the vice president of the local chapter, the men not only put the message on the cars, but they also offered them to anyone who wanted one. We took offense, Cooper told reporters, These two particular individuals have a great amount of influence over individuals who may be gay, who may be African-American, and we have a concern they should not be in a position to exert the influence when it comes to promotions. Cooper also noted that, Phil Robertson has made disparaging remarks against a vast array of people. He claims that the sticker could be in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. What do you think? Should the two workers be punished for expressing their beliefs? 
2	Popular TV Show May Be Cancelled Over Their Stance On Gays According to recent reports, nearly 30,000 people have signed a Change.org petition asking TLC to cancel the show 19 Kids and Counting, claiming that it promotes anti-gay sentiments. The petition was first created by Jim Wissick of San Jose, California, who asked to End LGBTQ fear mongering by the Duggars. The Duggars have been using their fame to promote discrimination, hate, and fear-mongering against gays and transgendered people. You need to take a stand on the side of justice and cancel their show. The controversy started after the couple posted a Facebook messages claiming God designed marriage to be a loving, dynamic relationship between a husband and wife for a lifetime. God loves marriage and it is supposed to be full of love, joy, fun and romance. Marriage is where romace belongs! Wissick cites this and several other examples, claiming that the family donated $10,000 to repeal equal housing rights for LGBTQ members. He also claims that Michelle Duggar warned Fayetteville residents that transgender people are child predators and that the law will somehow protect that predatory behavior. What do you think? Will TLC cancel the show?

2	BREAKING: Trey Gowdy Has Massive Breakthrough With Hillarys Emails... Justice Will Be Swift And Painful The liberal media may be willing to turn its back on Hillary Clintons many crimes, but Trey Gowdy is notand hes not about to let FBI Director James Comey off the hook either. That is not the FBI that I used to work with, Gowdy recently told Comey. Ive been really careful not to criticize youI just disagree with you. But its really important to me that the FBI be respected. Gowdy is a former special prosecutor, and has a deep personal investment in the state of the FBI and its integrity. It is clear he wants to right the ship. That is precisely why he has teamed up with Congressman Jason Chaffetz in an attempt to hold Comey accountable for letting Clinton slide. Undoubtedly, there will be, based on the documents the FBI released today, there are new facts that need to be investigated, Chaffetz commented. Im very concerned about the quid pro quo that was in negotiation between the State Department and the FBI. Chariman Nunes and I believe Patrick Kennedy should be relieved of his duties immediately pending an investigation. This is a manipulation, if not an outright crime, and so were gonna drive into that. But Chaffetz didnt stop there. Chairman Nunes and I believe Patrick Kennedy should be relieved of his duties immediately pending an investigation, he concluded. I want to get to the truth, and I want people to be held accountable. I dont think thats asking too much. What do you think? Do you support Gowdy and Chaffetz? 
3	Columbia, S.C. Police Chief Allegedly Plotted To Frame City PoliticianBrandon Turbeville Back in September of this year, Columbia, S.C. Police Chief Ruben Santiago found himself facing accusations that he had attempted to mastermind a conspiracy to frame Assistant City Manager Allison Baker with gun and drug charges in order to get him fired. The plan, according to former CPD Captain David Navarro, was to allow then-Police Chief Randy Scott to move into his position, thus allowing Santiago to move up to the position of Police Chief. The plot, nicknamed Black Ops, allegedly involved planting both a stolen gun and cocaine in Bakers car, which would then set off the chain of events resulting in Santiagos promotion. The plan, however, was blown wide open when Captain David Navarro filed reports to both S.L.E.D. (State Law Enforcement Division) and Internal Affairs. Navarro was suspended without pay within hours of his making the reports. Captain Navarro was Commander of the Community Services Team which consisted of several other teams including: P.A.C.E. Team, Police Athletic League and Drug Suppression Team, Warrant Team, and a K-9 Unit. He is a 34-year Law Enforcement and military veteran and has been with the Columbia Police Department for two years. Previously, he served as Fort Jacksons Police Chief and spent over eight years with the Richland County Sheriffs Department as well as twenty years in the U.S. military. At each meeting, Navarro says that Santiago would check Navarros phone so as to ensure that the conversation was not being recorded, then tell Navarro that he was just joking after confirming that there were no recordings being made. As WISTV reports, The plan, according to Navarro, was he would use his position as commander of the drug suppression team to gain access to a stolen gun and powder cocaine from a future crime scene. Santiago told me the next time a case involving cocaine and a stolen gun came in, that he and I would go to the scene, take control of the scene and send the officers away, the affidavit states. We would remove a gun and powder cocaine from that scene and he would then place those into Assistant City Manager Allison Bakers car, the affidavit continues. Santiago said he could claim that an anonymous tip led him to direct other officers to search Allison Bakers car. In specifics, He didnt just tell me a gun, he told me, Dave, it must be a stolen gun, and he also said cocaine and I asked him that question: Why cocaine, chief? Nobody will believe that Mr. Allison Baker would use crack cocaine, Navarro told WIS during an interview on Sunday. Navarro says the end result of the plan was to move then-Chief Randy Scott into Bakers position freeing up the police chiefs job to be Santiagos. For his trouble, Navarro says he would be named number two in the department. Shortly after the first conversation between Navarro and Santiago, Scott left the department after a short leave of absence citing stress and PTSD. After Scott left and Santiago took the reins of the department on an interim basis, two more conversations about the Black Ops plan took place, Navarro says. Navarro states in his affidavit, that Santiago stressed to me that he was going to teach me what he called how to play chess, trust him only.' Navarro also states that Santiago told him that he had Internal Affairs under his [Santiagos] control. Navarro is convinced that Santiago was anything but joking. As he has stated, There was no doubt in my mind that he [Santiago] meant what he was planning to do, said Navarro. He meant it and he was going to carry it through if he found the right person to do it with, but Dave Navarro was not going to be the person to do that for him. I blew the whistle on Ruben Santiago 100 percent, said Navarro. The only reason, right now, Im suspended without pay and have no idea why Im being suspended for is because Ruben Santiago is trying to work another scheme as the one he was trying to work on Mr. Baker and try to figure out what can he fabricate on Dave Navarro so he can do whatever it is hes going to try to do an retaliate against Dave Navarro and his family. Im very angry. Im disgusted. Im very sick. I havent been able to sleep, I havent been able to eat because Im very concerned about it, said Navarro. Im the main provider in my family. After 20 years of military service and then 14 yearsthats 34 years of serving my country and my community. This is not the way I wanted my law enforcement career to end. Santiago and City Manager Wilson assert that Navarros claims are entirely baseless and are nothing more than retaliatory measures because, as Santiago alleges, Navarro was resistant to change. Still, the allegations against Santiago have done nothing to dampen his propensity toward causing controversy. Santiago was recently in the news for responding in an intimidating fashion to an individual who criticized the Police Departments zealotry regarding marijuana laws. After posting to its Facebook page that the CPD had arrested a man and seized $40,000 worth of marijuana from his home, a Facebook user commented How many unsolved murders and rapes do you have in your jurisdiction? Maybe you should focus your attention on those instead? wrote one commentator. Another simply wrote that Pot should be legal. Santiago then responded via the CPDs official Facebook page, (W)e have arrested all of the violent offenders in Five points. Thank you for sharing your views and giving us reasonable suspicion to believe you might be a criminal, we will work on finding you. The Facebook threats mark the second major media fiasco for the CPD since Santiago took over the reins of the department only months ago. As for the earlier charges leveled against him by Navarro, Santiago referred to them as both puzzling and disturbing, an ironic use of language since those are two words which Columbia residents have used to describe Santiagos department for some time.

1	Addressing the nation from the Oval Office this evening, President Barack Obama announced that a full-scale U.S. military invasion of the Islamic Republic of Iran is currently underway. At this hour, we have deployed approximately 200,000 troops across the Iran-Iraq border as part of a multipronged military offensive against Iran, said Obama, who confirmed the decision to invade was made unilaterally, without the explicit consent of any other world leaders. To be clear: We are at war with the nation of Iran. On my orders, American forces have fully mobilized and begun striking selected targets with the aim of crippling Iranian nuclear infrastructure. These are the opening stages of what will be a long-term, protracted campaign. Obama went on to dismiss the invasions impact on the presidential election, sternly reminding citizens that we are in a time of war right now.

According to Chuck Heath Junior, the IRS had been trying to dig up something on him, ever since Palin ran for Vice President. According to the FBI, The Federal Bureau of Investigations doesnt plan to file criminal charges over the Internal Revenue Services heightened scrutiny of conservative groups and supports that what emerged during the probe was evidence of a mismanaged bureaucracy enforcing rules about tax-exemption applications it didnt understand. In response to these claims, one Tea Party lawyer called the incident a deplorable abuse of the public trust and demanded that there be a big, bureaucratic, former-Soviet-Union-type investigation. 
1	Immediately following the highly anticipated announcement that he will be returning to the Cavaliers, NBA superstar LeBron James boldly guaranteed that Cleveland will win numerous regular season games, sources confirmed Friday. Its not going to be easy, but I can personally assure you that the Cavs will win multiple games now that Im back home, the 4-time NBA MVP and Akron, Ohio native told reporters, claiming that putting together as many as four or five regular season wins for the franchise was more than just a possibility. Just look at the team weve got: Kyrie Irving, Dion Waiters, Anderson Varejao, and now me. With a squad like that, you know were going to be seeing quite a few wins come October. Thats what the people of Cleveland deserve. James added that, provided everything falls into place for the team, he could even see the Cavaliers putting together back-to-back Eastern Conference Finals losses. 
3	Cheney, Rothschild, and Fox News Murdoch Begin Drilling for Oil in Syria a Violation of Intl LawBy Claire Bernish Prior testing at a separate Afek site did not meet expectations, so the company sought other sweet spots in the area. Analysis of samples from additional wells will be performed by Afek scientists in conjunction with external international experts. To understand U.S. involvement in the quagmire in Syria, Afeks oil exploration is of critical import. Israels occupation of the Golan Heights region violates international law thus, Israeli permits granting Afek the ostensible right to perform exploratory tests of a possible large reservoir of natural gas and light oil is also illegal. But in a world where Big Oil remains powerful enough to drive foreign policy of the U.S. empire, this direct violation of the Geneva Convention might not even be worthy of a footnote except to the people of Syria. In fact, as The Free Thought Projects Justin Gardner previously reported, the unsavory character heading Genie Oil is none other than Efraim Effie Eitam, an Israeli military commander and former Knesset member who once called for the expulsion of the cancer of Arabs from Israel. Expel most of the Judea and Samaria Arabs from here, Eitam arrogantly asserted during a soldiers memorial service in 2006. We cannot be with all these Arabs and we cannot give up the land, because we have already seen what they do there. Some of them may be able to stay under certain conditions, but most of them will have to go. In addition to the eyebrow-raising cabal of Eitam, Murdoch, Cheney, and Rothschild, Genie Oil and Gas appointed new members to its Strategic Advisory Board last September, including: Dr. Lawrence Summers, 71st Secretary of the Treasury under President Clinton and Director of the National Economic Council under Pres. Obama; former Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu, who is credited with helping pass the U.S.-Israel Energy Cooperation Bill while she chaired the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources; former governor of New Mexico, Bill Richardson, who became an energy insider after serving as the Clinton administrations Energy Secretary; and former Director of Central Intelligence, R. James Woolsey, who co-founded the U.S. Energy Security Council. At stake is a 153 square-mile region in the Golan Heights, demarcated by Israeli authorities as exclusive territory for Afek to perform exploratory testing, which began in 2015, through early April 2017. However, even beyond the not-at-all-minor issue of legality, Afeks drilling in the region has stirred another, perhaps more imperative, concern. A large aquifer supplying the entire regions drinking water is positioned uncomfortably close to the stores of fossil fuel raising contamination concerns sufficiently serious that an Israeli high court issued a temporary restraining order in 2014, though it was quickly dismissed. But none of this bothers Murdoch, Cheney, Rothschild, and the others, as the Golan Heights to Big Oil represents little more than an exploitative business opportunity. Syria, in fact, has been systematically torn apart primarily because foreign powers and radical groups seek to protect their varied oil interests. While the Afek ilk set their sights on Golan Heights oil and natural gas, Turkey, the U.S., Russia, Daesh, and a spate of others have been fighting over Syrias geostrategic location for major oil pipelines under the cover of religious and civil strife. [W]e may want to look beyond the convenient explanations of religion and ideology and focus on the more complex rationales of history and oil, which mostly point the finger of blame for terrorism back at the champions of militarism, imperialism and petroleum here on our own shores, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., intoned in an April editorial for Ecowatch. As Kennedy astutely noted, U.S. interventionism in the Middle East, and particularly Syria, has little to do with fighting terrorism and far more to do with the regions rich petroleum reserves as in the case of Genies magnates. And such insistent international meddling at the behest of corporate oil interests so destabilized the entire region, it led to the formation of Daesh (ISIS) and similar radical groups. Of course, oil exploration certainly benefits the ongoing push by Israel to expand its occupation and settlements, since U.S.-backed Big Oil operates under the premise the manufactured nations encroachment on Syrian territory is perfectly legal. Often, as is the case with Afek and Genie, the Golan Heights is dismissively referred to as Northern Israel. Environmental and humanitarian groups vocally criticize Afeks exploratory drilling, but despite growing international outcry, have not succeeded in halting ongoing tests. Considering the notoriously powerful, monied warmongers backing Afeks petroleum plans, outrage and violation of international law wouldnt factor one iota in matters concerning the Golan Heights. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. a bigger bunch of Reptilians never existed anywhere on the planet, than this bunch of VOMITS in the picture, and Jacob Rothschild is Obamas Controller. Parasites! Golan recently resurfaced in the news when Israels rightwing prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, told Russias president, Vladimir Putin, that his nation would never return Golan to Syria. In a speech soon after, Netanyahu vowed Israel would hold on to Golan for all eternity. He also admitted for the first time that Israel had made dozens of cross-border attacks on Syria. In fact, its pretty much clear that Israel has been quietly fueling the Syrian conflict by discreet arms and logistics support to so-called moderate Syrian rebels and lobbying for the war in Washington and with the US media. Netanyahu has even said, with a straight face, that Israel cannot return Golan, or even negotiate, until calm returns to Syria and Iraq. Netanyahu is clearly following the grand strategy of the founder of his rightwing Likud Party, Zeev Jabotinsky, a militant Russian Zionist. Jabotinsky asserted that the Arab states were an artificial, fragile mosaic of inimical Arab tribes. Hit them hard enough, claimed Jabotinsky, and they will shatter into small pieces, leaving Israel master of the Levant (central Arab world). The destruction of Iraq and Syria have confirmed Jabotinskys theory. The destruction of Syria as a unitary state offers the expansionist Likud government many opportunities to extend influence into Syria, as was the case in Lebanon during its bloody 1975-1990 civil war. Or even carve off more Syrian territory to protect Israels security. The words of Israels founding father, David Ben-Gurion, still resonate: the state of Israel is a work in progress and its borders should not be fixed or even defined. Notably the borders with Syria and Jordan. Peace. This is really getting absurd, its time for a complete redo. Ah Si' said the blind Mexican. Old good chosen retards. now the truth is .out this is what the attempted overthrow of Syria is about The arrogance of these people is beyond psychopathic. SCUMBAGS. Israels occupation of the Golan Heights region violates international law. Actually thats just an opinion. There is much settled international law going back 100s of years that supports Israels claim to the Golan heights, the West Bank (Judea/Samaria) area, and some portions of southern Lebanon. Yeah just like Russias claim to Crimea which goes back more than 300 years. So tell that to the US if they allow this to happen to Israel without any sanctions. Catchy headline but what evidence do you have they are involved and have some ownership (ie upside) in the project? I have looked but dont see a connection. 
1	Calling to check on him for the fourth consecutive morning amid reports of the dangers posed by Hurricane Sandy, local mom Mary Canfield expressed relief Tuesday after learning her son in New York wasnt underneath that crane thats dangling from a high-rise apartment building in Manhattan. Oh, thank Godthe thought of you standing under that big, dangling crane was just awful, said the concerned mother, explaining that as soon as she saw TV footage of the crane on 57th Street in Midtown, she had a horrible vision of her son, a 27-year-old Brooklyn resident, trapped beneath the twisted wreckage of the crane as floodwaters rose around him. Theyre saying its 1,000 feet up in the air and just flapping around waiting to fall. Honey, promise you wont go near that crane, okay? Canfield added that in case of an emergency, her son should feel free to call her friend Debbie up in Utica. 
3	Cradle to Grave: How Dirty Business Has Destroyed Small Town AmericaOp-Ed by Phil Butler I kiss the soil as if I placed a kiss on the hands of a mother, for the homeland is our earthly mother. I consider it my duty to be with my compatriots in this sublime and difficult moment. Pope John Paul II The multinational corporations of this world are the problem. Many of you have probably already come to this same conclusion. Americans have acquiesced in promoting the fallacy that huge conglomerates are some kind of necessary evil. Few Americans realize that lawmakers have sold out individuals to the bankers. To illustrate this, we take the example of a small town in Southern Georgia, which represents the betrayal of all of America. It is a long story, but well worth your time. That is, if you ever want your country back. While Donald Trump and other politicians demand that we all take America back, it is you and I who must do what is necessary to regain the America that once was. The term Cradle to Grave is used to describe the environmental life cycle of a product. In a bitter irony, it is also business parlance for treating humans as a commodity to be exploited. I recall the first time I became aware of this, when my father first spoke of it at his law offices in Jesup, Georgia in 1974. Well, they have managed to commoditize us finally. He added, Instead of personnel, we are resources for big business to use up, I recall him saying chidingly. And while few took notice of such things back then, my dad was always reading, discerning, assessing law, and especially the US Constitution. He would use the occasion to teach: Let me illustrate something for you, before we move on. Some of you may recall that employers used to have personnel departments, which were later transformed into human resources. Human resource experts of today are taught in college how this was some kind of noble business experiment. This is reflected in a recent report from Science for a Smarter Workplace, by Terranova Consulting Groups Karen E. May: The shift from personnel to human resources, for example, was part of the movement to acknowledge the value of employees as an organizational resource Maybe readers will catch the distinction, or the paradigm that emerged when big business altered its dogma. The difference between a department that deals with employees, and a resource that can be weighed, categorized, shuffled, stamped, signed, sealed, and delivered. The English teachers amongst you should be the first to grasp the full meaning. In the early 1970s, Americans leapt into a spiraling crevasse, without even knowing. This is where we were made into resources, which is of course a euphemism for slaves. Please think about this, as I continue to build a case against the likes of Republic Services and others. In 1973 and 74 America went through some major changes. From the Nixon Shock to that presidents resignation over Watergate, everything about our society changed. While dramatic at the time, most of this change took place on an almost subliminal level for the average American. Roe vs. Wade made abortion legal. The 26th Amendment to our Constitution allowed 18-year-olds the right to vote. We launched Skylab, the first space station, and created a hundred other firsts. In 1975, while all of us at Wayne Country High School were thinking about dates, fun and finally escaping from the drudgery of education, Bill Gates founded Microsoft. In 77, the Commodore became the first home computer. Elvis died in 77 too. Encapsulating what the seventies was all about is painstaking, but historians agree that the 1970s were (if anything) a pivot of change. In terms of world history it was about economic upheavals. Yuppies, the me generation came about as a result. We really started to think about mainlining (a drug term) super-capitalist ideals. And corporations fed us all we could stomach. Those history lessons you hated in high school and college, the nightly news reports you were too tired or stoned to watch, they foretold a real Orwellian nightmare. The oil embargo of 1973 by theOrganization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) affected me personally, and oh-so harshly. My little orange Mercury Capri, that me and my pals scooted to the beach in, now cost $6 dollars to fill up rather than $3.50. But in reality, my dad gave me a charge account at Purcells Union 76 gas station (or was it Exxon?), so the misery was deferred. But the gas crisis was not about Arabs wanting more money, or punishing America for meddling in Arab affairs. 1973 was about a new kind of economic world, something known as neo-liberal economics. The end result of this revised economic theory is best expressed by citing the Wikipedia entry: The implementation of neoliberal policies and the acceptance of neoliberal economic theories in the 1970s are seen by some academics as the root offinancialization, with the financial crisis of 200708as one of the ultimate results. For the sake of brevity (and your sanity), we will simply say that the forms of neoliberal economic changes seen in the 70s and early 80s were the highest form of hyper-capitalism. And in the end, as we are seeing, the results of turning the corporate dogs loose are turning disastrous. But our story here is not about graduate level economics, its about a Southern Georgia community, and how laissez-faire or free market capitalism has affected society, especially at the local level. We all wanted to be Yuppies, and to have it all; now let me show you how our leaders drugged us into a capitalistic overdose. The last four decades have been a failed experiment in what the famous neoliberal German philosopher and economist Franz Oppenheimer would call the merging of the political state and the corporation. The form of socialism he and others proposed combined the political and economic means to fulfill every Yuppies desires. Yes, while we were busy coaching basketball or attending PTA meetings, other forces were at work. While you and I earned and spent fortunes living the American Dream, our enslavement was being chiseled into the system. The theorists behind this enslavement were at first in a heated battle with people like consumer advocate Ralph Nader. It is irrefutable what effect neoliberalism had on our society. The deregulation of the financial sector through the passage of theCommodity Futures Modernization Act, the repeal of theGlassSteagall Act, and later Bush-Clinton era disguises for neoliberal values, led us into our current mess. Militarism, deteriorating family values, and especially ecological malfeasance mark the synthesis begun in the early 1970s. Now we have had our socio-economic history lesson, we can more intelligently assess what has happened in the South I grew up in. Let me show you a small town called Jesup, Georgia, and how deregulation and free market madness have affected my friends there. Republic Services has a dirty job. The second largest non-hazardous solidwaste managementcompany in the United States, afterWaste Management, Inc, it has to get rid of not just our garbage, but the unwanted byproducts of our free market capitalism. The corporate executives who sit in offices on the 4th floor of Republic Services headquarters must lay awake at night perplexed by every decision. I am sure Republics President CEO Don Slager spends countless hours in discussions about alternatives to the opportunism evil corporations are always known for. He probably goes to church on Sunday, and prays that his god (note the little g) will forgive the hard decisions he has to make in order to please billionaire stockholders like Bill Gates (see Cascade Investments), F.William McNabb III (see Vangaurd Groups $3 trillion dollar man), Franklin Templeton Investments, Joseph L. Hooley (see State Street Corporation investments in Republic), and dozens of other vested interests in Republic Services (RPG). Digest, first, my reasons for cynicism. Believe me when I say that most of the people and institutions mentioned above are inextricably linked to the 1970s neoliberal shift I showed you. But in researching all this, I found a name and an association that ties my argument for a lost America in a nice, tight, empirical knot. Wallace L. Nutter is the second biggest individual investor in Republic Services, behind the CEO Don Slager. Nutter is also on the board of directors of another company important to Wayne County and Jesup. The company is simply called Rayonier in Jesup, but stock investors will know it as Rayonier Inc. Rayonier, for those of you unfamiliar, built the (then) largest paper mill on Earth in Jesup, Georgia back in 1954. Wayne Country residents will understand where I am going now, but the casual reader may not. Every kid who ever lived in Wayne County has memories of the burning rubber stench of this paper mill, of the massive pollution over the years, of the impacts of huge business both good and bad. Rayonier helped Wayne County thrive in a consumerist age. Rayonier has played a pivotal role in socio-economics in Jesup. The company at times run roughshod over any who would criticize or condemn even its most repugnant offenses. The giant paper mill embodies everything that went wrong about the United States. Regulators have, for decades, given an almostfree rein to Rayonier, a plant that uses 72 million gallons of Altamaha River water a day. Walter Nutters investments are indubitably safe, insured as it were, by the people sworn to protect citizens health and well-being. The corporate heads of this company effectively ruled Jesup and Wayne County, right alongside railroad executives and the local politicians owned by the likes of Georgia Power, Southern Company, and so on. But it was people like Wallace Nutter that empowered Rayonier, and now empower Republic Services, to use us. Wallace Lee Nutter is Chairman at J.M. Huber Corp. and Independent Director at Republic Services, Inc. Hes also on the board of directors of the American Forest Paper Association, Inc., the National Council for Air Stream Improvement, Inc., and Columbia Pipeline Group, Inc. Nutter was also an independent director of NiSource, Inc. and at SunTrust Bank. The coal ash Republic Services wants to bury at the company landfill site outside Jesup will have a dramatic ecological effect. Republic Services cannot prove that the toxic waste produced by Georgia power plants will not. Anyone being able to prove that a landfill liner will not leak, FOREVER, is inconceivable. And beneath this landfill to the south of the city, is one of the most important aquifers in the state. The wetlands Rayonier took advantage of for more than half a century to the North of Jesup entrap Wayne County families between past and future corporate malfeasance now. At least this is my objective view: Georgia Power needs to resolve its legacy of coal ash pollution, and Wayne County Georgia is the graveyard for that companys hyper-capitalist profiting. The same town Rayonier sold big industry to is about to be finished off with the last gasps of American greed. I cannot lay off Mr. Nutter here. What he symbolizes is every bad think I ever heard happened to an innocent friend. From the schoolyard bully to the politics of race, popularity or social status, the predators of this world come in many shapes and sizes. It is not Bill Gates reaping vast fortunes off of us that bothers me, for these billionaires would be nothing without the Nutters of this world. The 10 million or so Nutter has invested in 4 or 5 key funds has been multiplied 100,000 times by his clones. The Nutters of this world are the ones who really own us. Bill Gates and the Warren Buffetts of this world are penniless by comparison. Let me show you how people like this operate, via some of Wallace Lee Nutters investments: Wallace Nutter owns roughly $3,879,755dollars worth of stock in an energy company called NiSource, Inc. This company was criticized back in 2011 for paying zero taxes, while at the same time paying $1.83 million for lobbying and raking in $227 million dollars in tax rebates. This is to say nothing about the companys role in natural gas fracking and its environmental dangers. Wallace Nutter owns about $4,369,996in stocks of a NiSource offshoot, Columbia Pipeline Group Inc(CPGX). News last week (Wall Street Journal)that TransCanadaCorp. intends to buy this company in order to end run US legislation on the infamous Keystone pipeline is all you need to know here. Wallace Nutter has been chairman of the J.M. Huber Corporation since 2006. One of the largest family-owned businesses in the United States, this company produces a variety of products that go into everything from toothpaste to food starch. Its a global company, with a massively growing footprint. Finally, Wallace Nutter is not unlike other familiar rich folks such as Bill Gates, or even the notorious George Soros. His investments in industries that always skirt environmental law are counterbalanced by his positions in bodies supposedly designed to monitor such legalities. A good example is his position on the National Council for Air Stream Improvement, Inc. This position mimics George Soros alleged efforts at fostering democracy via his Open Society Foundations. Nutter is joined in his passion for crystal clear stream waters by executive colleague Daniel S. Fulton, who is associated with anything and everything to do with real estate, timber and the unsustainable development America has seen over the last 40 years. Fulton was the President CEO of Weyerhaeuser Realty Investors Corp., CEO of Cornerstone Columbia Development Co., Executive Vice Chairman of Weyerhaeuser Co. and President of Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Co. and also the American Forest Paper Association, Inc., the National Alliance Of Forest Owners, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc, and more. The linkages between these businessmen are astounding, and reading the network is like literally walking on the corpses of environmentalist and consumer advocates. Its the murky stench of rancid water that flavors all you have read so far. Water, being so crucial to our planet and our survival, is just something we have all taken for granted for too long. And the water in the ground, that leading from the Republic Services landfill in Wayne County, will carry the next disaster heaped onto small town America. The economic stresses Ive mentioned do not even come close to conveying the seriousness of Americas acute instability, which has been caused by these investors and their corporations unsustainable growth ideologies. Neither Wallace Nutter nor even Bill Gates seems concerned with the legacy being left to Americas grandchildren. I can hammer these industrialists and entrepreneurs into the ground deep as fence posts here, but the simple fact is that Wayne County Georgia is about to be in a horrible mess. And an irrevocable one too. Ill leave the reader with this report from the US Geological Survey concerning something called groundwater depletion. To save you time, the report paints a nightmarish picture for many regions of the US, especially when you consider the pollution of what is left of this rapidly diminishing resource. In Southern Georgia, South Carolina and other regions, never before has water been in such demand. Even if the coal ash dumped into the Republic Services landfills were only moderately harmful, the concentrations found in aquifers (if and when there is a leak) will be higher than the industry can foresee. My high school chemistry teacher (Mrs. Shaw at Wayne County High, I think) taught us about the dilution of compounds in liquid. Well, the same Altamaha River which Rayonier has puked compounds into for generations does not have the flow volume it once did. Look at the course of desertification globally. Study groundwater anywhere from California to China, and youll find people thirsty for humankinds most valuable commodity. And Republic Services is willing to screw with it, in Wayne County Georgia today, and your town tomorrow. Their science is based on profit and growth, and Bill Gates or Wallace Nutters dividends and shares. Jesup, Georgia is a pristine example of how Americans were first transformed into willing slaves, then whipped into neoliberal hyper-consumer frenzy, then abandoned by a failed system, then delivered the death spike before it became an utter ghost town. All this is a mouthful, I know. It took me two days to research this, so I fret not for your ten minutes or less reading it. What is important to take away is how wrong we have all been. The blame for small town Americas decline must be shared by those of us who turned a blind eye as well as the pitiless investors who so callously ruined it. As for burying millions of tons of coal ash in Wayne County, this really does spell the end for a way of life. I urge you to do your own research; do not even take my word, when it is the future of your children at stake.

3	Police Killed More Americans In 2014 Than All U.S. Mass Shootings CombinedBy Amanda Warren Before any victims were even in the ground, he exploited the tragedy for politicized gun control agendas. Obama is tired of making speeches about mass killings. Hes tired of them. He doesnt want killings to be the new normal. I agree with the President. Random, mass murder whether by guns, caused by mental illness, or by hatred needs to stop. Therefore, I took the liberty of finding its biggest source If its really true that youre 9 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than a terrorist then we need to have a talk. But where is our speech to address the thousands of Americans executed by police in the last 15 years? Is it not as speech worthy when the number of dead Americans is only 3 per day and is spattered across the country? Victims one by one? Although we arent allowed to know the actual number of American citizens killed by police each year, a database has been tracking news stories since 2013. In 2014, at least 1,104 Americans were executed on site by law enforcement. No trial just violent death. A quick scan of the headlines shows an inordinate amount of shooting deaths. So, the media reports on them, but without the outrage reserved for lone shooters who walk into public places spraying bullets at random people. Not only do some sources average the deaths out to 3 per day, but also one American every 7.6 hours. That means if you saw this headline before work, and then read the story after you got home from work two Americans have likely died at the hands of law enforcement in the meantime. The media supports the agenda to remove gun ownership from law abiding citizens because of conveniently timed and fishy looking mass shootings by deranged males but not from deranged, gun-wielding males with badges. The ones who may gravitate to such positions, who dont get screened. Who can simply move to another state or nearby department and restart their law enforcement career after they have killed. Back to the numbers comparison how does the amount of Americans murdered by police in 2014 (and on average every day) compare to the amount of Americans killed in all U.S. mass shootings? (A mass shooting is typically one person, who has randomly killed at least 4 people in a public place within 24 hours. Not to be confused with sprees, serial murders or mass genocide) Its double. In 2014 police killed about twice the amount of Americans as those killed in all U.S. mass shootings combined, starting in 1982. The amount of people killed in all U.S. mass shootings 567. Thats 567 people in 157 shootings starting in the 1980s. In 2014 alone in one year flat police nearly killed double that amount. Again, where are the speeches? Where are the calls for mental health screenings and strict regulations for the authorities? Officers who kill dont have their three-part name plastered on front pages no calls for their guns removed. And when they happen to use one of their less-than-lethal weapons they kill. When they have only their fists, boots or their arms they kill. This is precisely why you never, ever give up your Second Amendment or your guns. The tragedy argument must always be flipped back to the authorities who want you to be without any defense, against deranged authorities with all the force. Turn. The. Tables. The trouble with malleable media statistics and their tunnel vision is its all pretty, framed lies. Recall when school shootings first took place it was reported on daily for what seemed like years until the word school was now associated with shooting or gun violence. Of course it has has taken place and is horribly tragic. Nothing discounts that. But its a focus redirect for a reaction and controlled outcome. Just think about what now continues to mow down Americans in violence at a most startling rate. Think about how different it would be if the media framed police involved shootings in the same lightthey should! It should always be a national tragedy. Not the new normal. An inordinate amount of shootings took place between 2010-2013. Obama doesnt even wait for burials anymore before he calls for the removal of guns before hitting the greens again. And if people dont pay attention and sift through the truth they will find themselves stuttering and speechless when authoritarians law enforcement perhaps yank guns from their warm, living hands. Take for instance, the new federal crime unit Chicago called for in the wake of the 2014 Chicago Easter weekend shootings. Guns were the boogeymen man in Obamas old stomping grounds despite the fact that Chicago boasted the strictest gun control laws in the country and also surpassed New York City in murder crimes in 2011. The media rode the choppy waves of pointing to crime in Chicago as a reason to rid its citizens of guns, but also wanting to showcase a drop in crime to show that strict gun control works. The problem is there was no drop in murder. Just a drastic change in how homicides were reported. Its amazing how much a homicide looks like death from natural causes when law enforcement deliberately record it that way.Additionally, operations for this federal unit began April 1 before Easter. How then could the unit be formed in the wake of a shooting when it happened before the shooting took place? I think you know the answer to that Additionally, the mainstream media is still purse-lipped on the mass shooting that never was. The one that was prevented by one responsible person with a gun. In fact, the non-event was lumped in with other shooting stories to showcase more gun violence. (Thats also known as deception.) An off-duty female officer saves the world from another Aurora-type shooting? Normally, that holds all the media-trappings of a heroic cause for celebration. Except when that last slot on the machine doesnt match the greater agenda of gun control then it doesnt make it past the cutting room floor. Again, Im going to have to side with Obama on this one. Too many killings are taking place it cannot be the new normal but where, O where, shall we look? Brandon Turbeville writes: As for [Obamas] claims that mass shootings do not happen in other countries, of course, he can easily be proven wrong. They do. And when they do, they are generally much more dramatic due to the disarmed nature of the public. The Second Amendment is non-negotiable. It has to be, unless the world wants to witness an En Masse shooting here in America like never before. Which is why it was written of course the only reason why it was written. Recently fromAmanda Warren: Makes you think about how many enemies the police are creating. Silver lining! its no difference to the police, their training explicitly cites the public as the enemy. The only thing this makes me think about is., Why are we making the Police a target ? Do you all want to be like Mexico and have our Country controlled by the Military ? Please stop and think when you attack our Civilian Police ! Obama is never tired of making speeches, but will not answer any questions and that is cause we may question him on his lies. We live in a country that is becoming more and more violent. Baltimore is a good example of what happens when the Police stand down. These animals Looted and burned the town down, thanks to a Mayor who stated, Let them have room to destroy. The Media has framed the Police and tried to convict them of a crime they did not commit, but speeches like this that are not supported by any facts has made this Author just another radical wanting to make a change for the worse. There are a lot of Rambo cops. No, far from a majority, but far to many. Maybe if they had to live in the area they police, things may be different. I have the right, and the desire, to return home alive after my shift just like they do. Oddly though In total violation of the Lugar-Obama Bill (2008) Obama is fine with Arming Drug Cartels that have killed thousands. He is OK with arming Moderate Rebels (sic) who in Libya, Iraq, Syria and Yemen that have slaughtered over 250,000. But hey! Them are those Evil Muslims and not the US Military who are predominately Christians who since Korea have killed 20,000,000 people (mostly Civilians) right? The only TRUTH my cousin Obama has spoken is that of America is not a Christian country anymore. Rev. Wright was RIGHT! Americas Chickens have come home to roost. Move along, keep moving Nothing to see here. I hope this does not come as a surprise to anyone? fbi/cia/nsa/tsa/dea/atf/dhs/fema/cop its a wonder anyone can even go outside. Disarm the Gestapo. Return to a Constitutional law, due process, government ILLEGALS also killed more AMERICANS than all mass shootings in the U.S. combined! Al Sharptons calling for federalization of state and local police. Exactly what the elite want. Create the problem (militarization of police) then offer the solution (federalization). Right o Ed.The 5% Ruling Elite are telling theyre Lap Dogs in DC what they want. Hegelian Dialectic Question;.Is the US Society getting more uncivilized violent ?..Or are the police becoming more Militarized out of control?..Who is creating the majority of the problems? Ask yourself, what has changed since 1960? Research before you answer. Also check our Nations GDP. I dont see where this takes into account the number of obvious criminals killed trying to kill I think you make a very good point. If the police have a right to defend themselves then why not the average citizen? The Bill of Rights was written for the people and not government enforcement agencies. To all the bleating heart sheeple. your gestapo, surveils, confrontations, they create, so their snipers can execute; so, wheres the con, when, , these scofflaw cops are risking their lives, only, protecting, the outlaw, at law, government, at our expense policing for profitand, seeing to it, that, crime does pay, all the aiders and abetters, of, organized crime at law. Edgrrr The writer of this article should get the fact straight. Although some police shootings are unnecessary and murder the largest majority of the people killed are criminals or forcing police to use deadly force like the punk in Ferguson. Freedom of speech does not mean you can write or say things that slander or are BS. If they are picking the right ones, so be it. We have a lot of useless sobs causing all kinds of trouble. Critics of US gun laws tend to cite data comparing nation to nation, Defenders of US gun laws tend to rely on imagined consequences for the US that are different from the experiences of other nations with gun control. That makes no sense to me. Im sure as hell on the policemens side in your argument! If the average doped or crazy jerk-off confronted by police, would just listen to the cop follow orders, he will NEVER get hurt!!! This is what we get when we raise kids that has NEVER had to follow rules restrictions!! Are you stupid enough to believe these cops hurt shoot people JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT??!!? Get real, FOOL!!!! Yes they do! Just look at the video evidence from all over the country. The police are being militarized and the enemy is you! America is a police state. With every shooting of a black by a white cop there is rioting and chaos. This is deliberate so that the corrupt DOJ gets involved. The involvement by the DOJ causes the local police to be put under DOJ rules and control, in effect federalizing the local police force. When enough local police forces are under federal control martial law becomes the next step. That is how socialism works. Slick propaganda. That bullshlt story is filled with errors and innuendos. Sometimes I think that these sphincters are just promoters of obamas plot to take over with a federal police force. These morons writing this garbage usually have hidden issues with their own personal backgrounds. Who wrote this article? obama? Sharpton? I want the admin who run this web site to take a good look at the crap that Amanda Warren has posted about the police killing so many people. Where the hell does she get her data from. Most every big city in this country that is run by a black adminestration is virtually a war zone. Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit, Flint, Boston, Philly, Camdon, just to name a few are run by black administrations. These cities are the homes for thousands of black or Mexican gangs who are well armed and who the police have deal with. The police do not go around executing people. 90% of homicides in this country are of blacks and the perpatrators are also black. This is a fact that many people do not want to accept but is true. Clean up the gangs and quite blamming the police every time a black is shot while doing a crime. I know I will be labeled a racist from this day on but facts are facts. you evid devils actually believe what you write or youre just stupid? You dont believe her stats but you want us to believe yours? How typical of the likes of you!!! Youll never take me alive COPPER. my motto an armed society is a polite society. In the United States, every 8 hours, a police officer kills someone. Every 8 hours, a name is tweeted: Im not convinced that anybody died in So. Car. Or, if they did, that the shooter wasnt an MK Ultra shooter. The timing again was propitious, and the bills seem already written. Were being had, folks. Most cops are good guys, but there are more ex-military, trained killers among them. It is a matter for concern. The one person here speaking some common sense! want to talk about where is the discussion? 200 people are killed by drunk drivers every WEEK. get your fuckin priorities straight and stop pretending like youre out for a good cause. 
2	Rosie ODonnell Leaving The Country for Good... Shes Never Coming Back Remember a few months ago when liberals thought there was no way Donald Trump would ever take the presidency? Remember when, in their arrogance, many celebrities promised to leave the country if he was ever elected? The list of celebrities that were supposedly set to lose after this election include liberal comedians like Jon Stewart and Amy Schumer. Stewart spent the majority of the election season calling Trump and his supporters racists, sexists, and bigots. The list also includes the ever-peachy Lena Dunham, who promised to stand by her threat no matter what. I know a lot of people have been threatening to do this, but I really will, Dunham said in April at an awards ceremony. I know a lovely place in Vancouver, and I can get my work done from there. Below is a list of at least 23 celebrities who promised to leave if Trump won the election: Comedian Jon Stewart Good Riddance! 
2	Donald Trump Attacks Political Friend... This Could Ruin His Future Ticket Recently, Donald Trump spoke at a Florida rally to discuss his position as the GOP leader falling to Ben Carson in a recent poll. You know some of them: We have a breaking story. Donald Trump has fallen to second place behind Ben Carson. We informed Ben. But he was sleeping, Trump laughed. Ben Carson is super low-energy. We need tremendous energy. The comments come after Carson was asked if he thought he would become a target for Trump now that he is gaining momentum. I guess that really depends on whether hes a gentleman or not, Carson concluded. If he does attack me, I will continue to talk about the issues. My personal interactions with him have shown him to be a gentleman. I think theres another element sometimes when hes on camera. Carson then went on to address questions about his temperament and whether or not hes up for the position of president. Theres no question that Im a relatively calm person, Carson claimed. A lot of people think that Im half-asleep. I guarantee you: Im awake. What do you think? Do you support Trump or Carson? 
2	Two Brothers Go In Public Bathroom.. But Only One Returns, Father Reacts Immediately According to some devastating new reports, a Florida mother and father learned in the worst way possible that children should always be escorted in a public bathroom. The parents and their two boys were dining at a McDonalds in Jacksonville when their two sons, ages 6 and 7, went to the bathroom together as per the buddy system. The system did not work as planned, and moments later, the older boy was the only one who returned. His father sensed something was off and stormed into the bathroom. Thats when he saw a black man emerge from a bathroom stall. Inside the same stall was the younger boy pulling up his pants. In a fit of anger, he stormed after the 33-year-old homeless man who attacked his son. Keith Andre Sykes was able to get away, but he was later found in a dumpster. He was booked on a charge of capital sexual battery, and likely has a huge prison sentence in front of him. Details of the boys attack have not been released, though Chief Tom Hackney commented that its clear that some kind of sex crime happened. What do you think of these reports? Is this every parents worse fear? 
2	Hitler Thought Nobody Would Find Us, Look What Archaeologists Just Discovered Following an uprising at a Nazi concentration camp in Sobibor, Poland in the early 1940s, the Germans did their best to destroy any evidence that it had ever existed. It is estimated that a quarter million Jewish people were executed there during the Holocaust. In an attempt to erase history, the gas chambers were filled with sand, and a road was built on top of the remains. It remained hidden there for decades, until recently. Researchers were shocked when they got a tip as to where the location of the camp was, so they decided to start digging. After a few weeks, the camp was unearthed by a man who had a remarkable connection to it. Finally, we have reached our goalthe discovery of the gas chambers, archaeologist Yoram Haimi told reporters. We were amazed at the size of the building and the well-preserved condition of the chamber walls. Haimi had two uncles who died at the camp, and he had been passionate about uncovering it. Many personal items were found in the remains of the camp, including a wedding band. The extermination of people took place there; murder by smoke from an engine that killed everyone within 15 minutes in these gas chambers, in torment, shouting, fellow archaeologist Wojchiech Mazurek commented. The Nazis even breed geese in order to drown out these shouts so that prisoners could not have heard these shouts, these torments. According to records, it is believed that only 50 prisoners made it out of the camp alive. What do you think of this recent discovery?

3	Trilateral Defense Ministers Meeting Continues to Build North American Security FrameworkDana Gabriel The North American security relationship has evolved with Mexico being increasingly viewed as a valued part of the continental defense team. The U.S., Canada and Mexico are building the framework for greater cooperation on common security issues. They are expanding security arrangements and are further establishing new institutions at a continental level. The trilateral defense ministers meeting, which received very little media attention is part of the process of integrating military planning and coordination into a North American security perimeter. On April 24, Mexicos Secretary of National Defense General Salvador Zepeda Cienfuegos and Naval Secretary Admiral Vidal Francisco Soberon Sanz hosted the Second Trilateral Meeting of North American Defense Ministers with their counterparts, U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and Canadian Defense Minister Robert Nicholson. A joint statement explained that, Threats to North America and the hemisphere are increasingly complex and require coordinated responses. Building upon the trilateral collaboration under the North American Leaders Summit process, we remain committed to enhancing our common understanding of those threats and developing effective and efficient approaches needed to address them. It went on to say, With this foundation, our countries continue to work together to address the security and defense challenges that our continent faces. We acknowledge that transnational threats require transnational responses and are committed to furthering our collaboration. The Inaugural Meeting of North American Defense Ministers was held in March 2012. In his speech, which focused on security issues facing North America, Secretary Hagel further elaborated on how the trilateral defense meeting is, moving beyond the concept stage and is becoming a venue to develop new opportunities for deeper collaboration and new approaches to more effectively address shared threats and challenges. We have identified important areas where we can work together as equal partners. As we move forward, the discussions today will further strengthen the foundation for continued cooperation in meeting defense and security requirements for our three nations. In order to continue their important trilateral dialogue, Secretary Hagel has offered to host the next defense ministerial in 2016. Back in February, Canada and Mexico also announced plans to further strengthen defense relations. As part of the trilateral defense meeting, they officially signed the Declaration of Intent on Defense Cooperation. The agreement, further solidifies defense relations between Canada and Mexico, and demonstrates commitment by both countries to continue cooperation in areas such as military training, support to civilian authorities, defense research, defense materiel cooperation, defense industry matters, as well as other areas of importance to defense and security. Canadian Defense Minister Robert Nicholson described how, The Trilateral Meeting of North American Defense Ministers has given us a valuable opportunity to further deepen our cooperation and collaboration towards our common goals of ensuring the security of our citizens, and our continent. Signing the Declaration of Intent on Defense Cooperation with Mexico is a demonstration of this cooperation and collaboration, and shows Canadas commitment to deepening the defense component of Canadas longstanding, friendly relations with Mexico. Increased U.S. interest in continental defense continues to have an impact on Canadian and Mexican security policy. Both countries are further adopting American security priorities, which raises concerns regarding sovereignty. Under the guise of stopping drug and illicit arms trafficking, the U.S. seeks to further extend its military and security apparatus into other regions. The trilateral defense ministers meeting is part of the ongoing efforts to establish a fully integrated continental security perimeter and represents another important step towards a North American Union.

2	Ted Cruz Announces What His Wife Will Be Doing As First Lady Presidential candidate Ted Cruz did not back down from his beliefs when he told Iowans that he was not in favor of government subsidies for ethanol fuel. The issue was a sensitive one for the many corn farmers populating the state. Cruz diverted from this approach during his final pitch to Iowans, when he pandered to a very specifically a group of school-aged students attending his rally. When he was speaking about the failed efforts made by First Lady Michelle Obama to change the school lunch program, Cruz let students know exactly what would happen if his wife Heidi was in charge of their lunches. If Heidi Cruz becomes first lady, French fries are coming back to the cafeteria, Cruz declared. Of course, that comment was met with large applause from the students who are no doubt sick of carrot sticks and ridiculously restricted portions. The students are obviously too young to vote, but they are American citizens and future voters. And, based on the results of the caucus, it is possible these students convinced their parents to vote for Cruz. What do you think of Cruzs comment? 
2	What This Muslim Leader Said About Our Fallen Troops On Memorial Day Will Make You FURIOUS This week many patriots honored our men and women in uniform on one of very few holidays designed to remind Americans to thank those risking their lives for our freedom. Last week, however, Zahra Billoo, a Muslim leader in San Francisco publicly criticized the holiday. Struggles with Memorial Day each year, the executive director of the San Francisco chapter of CAIR wrote on twitter. How does one balance being pretty staunchly anti-war while honoring those who died in the military? If one dies in an unjust war in which we illegally invaded and occupied a sovereign nation, should that person be honored? Billoo continued, quoting Dawud Walid, another member of CAIR. CAIR has been criticized in the past for being a subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood, and comments like this are what help to perpetuate the idea that the organization shows little support for America and what we stand for. What do you think of Billoos comments? 
2	Judge Speaks Out, Confirms Obama Could Face Major Jail Time For This Crime When it comes to the law, we feel confident saying that President Obama has some pretty loose definitions. Combine that with a flexible conscience, and what do you get? In this case, you get the President of the United States throwing a party shortly after American journalists were beheaded by terrorists. Obama first put himself under legal scrutiny after he negotiated with terrorists for the release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, in the exchange for five high level Taliban leaders. Shortly after the shocking decision was made, it was revealed that Bergdahl had most likely deserted his post. Recently, Judge Andrew Napolitano spoke with Fox News about the issue, claiming that a new report from the Government Accountability Office states that the Defense Department has, in fact, violated the law in refusing to inform Congress of their decision. The action could carry a sentence of 10 years to life if Obama were convicted. What do you think? Should Obama be punished for his actions? 
3	Illinois Total Gun Ban Legislation To Be Submitted: Confiscation to FollowBrandon Turbeville Cullertons apparent strategy is to ram the bill through the Illinois State Congress during the lame duck and provide the passed version to Governor Quinn by Friday for signing. Quinn is, of course, a notorious gun grabber. If the bill passes, according to the ISRA, nearly every gun you [Illinois residents] currently own will be banned and will be subject to confiscation by the Illinois State Police. The ISRA states, According to The Truth About Guns, there will actually be two bills one for semi-automatic rifles, lever guns, shotguns and handguns with certain features (e.g., threaded barrels); and one for ammunition magazine capacity. In the wake of the Newtown school shooting, the anti-gun agenda will undoubtedly be pressed harder and harder into concrete actions against the Second Amendment. The attacks on gun ownership will likely be coming from all sides in the coming months. Thus, while one may attempt to achieve as many victories for the Second Amendment as possible through the legislative and political process, it should always be remembered that there should be no compromise and no debate when it comes to our basic rights.

2	ExHillary Clinton is closer every day from securing the Democratic presidential nominee. She and her cronies have often criticized GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump for being too harsh in his approach to radical Islam. In fact, they have even gone so far as to accuse him of helping radical terrorists by providing them with soundbites to be used for recruiting propaganda. The truth is, Trump did make an appearance in a recent propaganda video released by Al Qaeda affiliate al-Shabaab in Somalia. But rather than proving Hillary right, this video simply confirms that Trump is scaring Islamist terrorists. Dr. Tawfik Hamid, a former radical jihadist and author of a book titled Inside Jihad: Understanding and Confronting Radical Islam wrote that the video featuring Trumps comments about halting Muslim immigration indicates that the group is fearing what will happen if Trump secures the presidency. Hamid went on to argue that jihadists featured Trump in their video not to confirm Hillarys allegations, but to damage Trumps strong position as frontrunner and reduce his chances of being elected president. This, he concludes, is due to the common perception that Hillary will merely facilitate President Obamas weak foreign policies, while Trump will be a more aggressive leader. What do you think about this? Do you agree? 
3	Chinese troops train in U.S. while New York prepares for terror attack with mass shooting drillBy Alex Thomas The training, part of the11th Disaster Management Exchange, is being conducted atJoint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington State and includes at least 80 soldiers from thePeoples Liberation Army. Shockingly, American soldiers areapparently happy about the exchange with one even quoted by the New Tribune as saying how nice it was to be working with the military of a Communist nation with continued gross human rights violations. With all the craziness in the world, its nice to be working with the Chinese army, Spc. William Soyster said, according to the Tribune report. Its a reminder that were all in this together. Were all human. The training is ostensibly about disaster preparation, but considering the times we now live in one has to wonder the real reason for this unprecedented exercise, especially when you consider the recent problems between the two nations surrounding military exercises in the South China Sea that some media pundits theorized could lead to World War 3. Also one must ask the obvious question which is when did the United States start needing the help of Communist China in order torespond to disasters around the world!? Interestingly, the U.S. Navy also recently started a week-long training exercise, this time in China,with theguided missile destroyerUSS Stethem arriving in Shanghai early last week ahead of planned communications exercises and a surface rescue simulation. The ships commanding officer, Harry Marsh, told reporters the visit was intended to build mutual trust between the two navies, reported Defense News. US sailors, he said, would learn about their counterparts maritime experiences, so that when we operate at sea we can do it safely, and we understand what they are doing and what we do. As Chinese troops begin their training in Washington State and the U.S. Navy continues its joint naval operation with the Communist country, authorities in New York City recently conducted a major mass shooting simulation, apparently in response to the recent terrorist attacks in Paris and in preparation for the upcoming massiveMacys Thanksgiving Day Parade. According to a report by the Associated Press, the training exercise was planned long ago but got a last-minute update after the Paris attacks that included role players wearing suicide vests. The AP also reported that Homeland Security used the exercise to test new technologies, including cameras worn by first responders and gunshot detection systems designed to give police and other emergency response officials information to better coordinate their responses. According to NYC Police Commissioner, William Bratton, the systems are being developed for surveillance of the subway system itself. The training comes on the heels of the horrific terrorist attack in Paris, an attack that may or may not have been a government-sponsored false flag, but one that was definitely at least partially helped along by Western intelligence agencies. One may be asking themselves what a mass shooting simulation in New York City has to do with Chinese troops training on American soil but, while they may not be directly connected, these two key events happening so close to each other deserves further scrutiny. As alternative media researchers have detailed for years, whenever a false flag happens there are usually hallmark signs which include there being a training drill going on at the same time as the real attack that just so happens to be simulating the exact scenario that is playing out in real life. This fact alone makes the recent mass shooting exercise in New York worth paying closer attention to. Couple that with the fact that many researchers have also pointed out that, in the event of a declaration of martial law, authorities would most likely try to use foreign soldiers to help police the populaceand you have even more reasons to dig deeper into these two seemingly unrelated events. What do you think? Why has Obama invited Communist China to train inside the United States? Is the recent mass shooting exercise in New York connected or are both these stories just more evidence that we truly are living in trying times?

Yea, all these drills nearly always precede the false flag event. With all the craziness in the world, its nice to be working with the Chinese army, Spc. William Soyster said , bet he`s the designated spokespuppet. It seems they drill here and there without incident only to give the appearance that they are always working to improve our safety when these exercises are usually meant to be chatter cover operations for the false flag psyops the majority of the plebs fall for that usually accompany such events. True. Interesting note that last year Corbett reviewed some Muslim separatist terrorist attacks in China that had the fingerprints of false flag attacks. The Chinese government even hyped a series of threats, coincidentally from shadowy figures living in caves, to rationalize the passage of Chinas version of the Patriot Act implementing new laws on terrorism. One of the attacks involved several people murdered in a subway, I believe, and the alleged perpetrators were said to have left behind flags at the scene. Was this a Chinese slight misinterpretation of what a false flag operation is? BTW, love the Peoples Liberation Army name war is peace, ignorance is strength. Armies dont liberate. NATO enlarged to US led coalition of 60 countries and Russia DAILY bombing civiians BASICS Ok, Ill bite. What is the envisioned outcome by these entities then? NWO What about Gordon Duff, Leuren Moret, and Simon Parkes all in favour of Putin? Perhaps the US can learn from the Chinese that a nation can survive without spending a trillion dollars every year for a second rate military that is unable to win wars, Trying to occupy 120 nations around the world using under-educated idiots and foreigners for no return worth a dime. Also China is capable of destroying all the US aircraft carriers around the world in minutes. Russia already showed that the US navy is out of date and should have been scrapped years ago when it fired very accurate cruise missiles from the Caspian sea that caused the US navy to panic and run from its base at Manama in their feudal tyranny and friend in Bahrain.. well put They are not trying to win wars!! Did you learn nothing from War is a Racket? Wars are conducted for money and profit, never for rights or any other overused excuse to murder for profit! There are a group of dominate men who all make millions off the wars. Wars are fought so banks can lend money to both sides with the agreement that the winning side will pay for the losing side, everyone makes money! The MiC makes, sells and distributes the weaponry and equipment for both sides and sells to them for large profits. There are no foreign boggy men wanting you dead because of your freedoms or way of life! The US Government, and by way of silence the people of that sick nation, are the real terrorists and that can not be denied with anything but pure ignorance of the facts. Once you remove the US Government, and eliminate their Masters (Israel) then and only then can terror be subdued. If you want to know who controls you, simply look at it is that you are not allowed to criticize! This exercise is probably part of a military audit to determine the efficacy of systems which the Chinese paid for through US, Inc. borrowing, and will determine future strategic Chinese investments. Well being a false flag Conspiracy Theorist since 2001 hardcore and that can be easily seen by my Avatar as no flying beer can collapsed the Towers, they are certainly setting us up for something big. With the masses finally waking, that seen by the extreme firearm purchases the last 2 years, we need to all prepare for the inevitable. There is no telling where it will come and as far as China is concerned, we are the best of friends and it all is masking the big event. That is closing on us rapidly and can be seen if one looks. There is a protective shield for the lack of better explanation around the sun. There is an inbound planetary system with intelligent life that is the roots of our very existence. No friggen joke. Go to Red Ryder on FB and view one of dozens and dozens of videos put up since April We have little time and really, anyone left above ground will have only faith to get them through. That is a lot better than those that are going to bunker down on our backs. The Lord said, kings, prominent men will hid in the mountains and in the rocks. You know how the rest goes. Its time to put up, and way past time to prepare! Why is the term communist being used? There is nothing Marxist about the current system, wealth disparity is worse than the US, particularly egregious in the wealth of Chinas parliament vs. the average Chinese citizen, makes the US congress look like paupers. China is a totalitarian Technocracy, as designed by Brzezinski. No mention of this exercise being another conditioning of the public to a global military force and global government, overseen by the UN. Also no mention Russian troops have been training in the US for many years. They getting nervous some ET races are about to get involvedever wonder why they use the word humans when referring to the populace. Blue Beam is a distraction. Most have it all backwards thinking UFOs and ETs were a front to cover for Black Projects like the Stealth, SR71 and U2 when in reality it was the Stealth, SR71 and U2 to cover for the antigrav technologies and relations with ETs. Should get interesting soon. Well now it should be extremely obvious that the Chinese are ZIONIST. they are going to design every war any nations wage. China is pulling a lot of strings behind the scenes and are corrupt NWO globalist just like the rest of NATO and the EU Dispute with china in china south sea, US military has drills requiring shut down and diversion of flights in LA with unannounced missile launch, now chinese troops in Washington. Is there a connection? Makes the Syrian refugee problem look like pin the tail on the donkey. The Chinese are here for one reason and one reason only. Everyone knows that China now in all shape and form OWN America. We sold them pieces of printed paper backed by debt with a promise to pay. Unfortunately, since pieces of paper with ink in them are not real money, just debt instruments, we do not and will never have the real money to pay them back for what they gave us. They have been promised the land, and the only way China wants this land is when all guns are out of the hands of the American people. The Small Arms Treaty has been signed, sealed and delivered. Congress doesnt have to approve or ratify anything, for the simple fact that the Constitution is dead and meaningless to everyone in government, including those oath breakers and paycheck earning cowards called the Military. They are here to create enough chaos so that they can make an excuse to round up all the guns. You do realize that America is the last nation whos people can have guns, right? That too, will come to an end. Not because Im a defeatist, but because America and its people have become weak and cowardice. Sir, you may speak for your self and the minions surrounding you but, I am a 101st. Airborne Army Ranger. What kind of Ranger are you to be making such a pansy comment?? A Cub Scout Ranger perhaps?? Its only a relative handful of people that ever make a difference. Its aways been that way. Most peoplle figure out very little in their lifetime. This just proves that its all an illusion. We used to be the good guys but now were the bad guys and Russia are the good guys. How easily everyone has accepted Putin as some honorable and peaceful leader in the vacuum left by the United States. Could it be that Russia (Putin) is just playing their role within the New World Orders Hegelian framework? The powers that be create two opposing forces (thesis and antithesis) and unleash them upon one another, the outcome is the pre-planned solution (the synthesis part of the dialectic). Im still shocked that the great majority of my fellow conspiracy theorists are hailing President Putin as the best thing since sliced bread. How easily are the masses fooled, including those who consider themselves awake and call other people sheeple. It should be self-evident but it isnt. This just goes to show how effective the strategies and tactics of the powers that be really are. The people who are supposed to be more knowledgeable and aware of this world conspiracy have been lulled to sleep. When the Russian and the Chinese eventually land on our shores are you guys going to hug the Russian troops and shoot the Chinese? Anybody who believes in authority or leadership is the enemy of freedom. there probably will be those who would embrace those troops. I think the whole system is going to explode before that happens, though. Spc. William Soyster obviously wants a promotion. 
2	Sean Hannity On The Brink Of Being Fired By Fox News... He Needs Your Support Now More Than Ever Fox News reporter Sean Hannity has come under fire recently for deciding to exercise his Constitutional right to free speech by appearing in an ad for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Executives at the network were quick to address the situation, claiming that did not know of or support Hannitys endorsement. We were not aware of Sean Hannity participating in a promotional video and he will not be doing anything along these lines for the remainder of the election season, the press release read. Of course, fans of the network were angered by Foxs attempts to stifle Hannitys right of free speech. And Hannity stood up to defend himself. Heres a website, ThinkProgress, remember they did the structural imbalance of talk radio so many years ago? And then they did this hit piece, Hannity Interviewed Donald Trump 21 Times, And Never Made News, or something to that effect, which is just not true, Hannity commented. And they picked some of the easier questions that I asked Donald Trump, which they could have done with any other candidate that I have interviewed. Ill be honest, Im not sitting hereIf Im interviewing Hillary Clinton, its gonna be a hundred times harder than any Republican, because I believe the Republicans represent, and have a far better vision, one that I agree with. What do you think? Do you support Hannity for speaking his mind? 
1	Though the information would in no way serve to improve his standing with his superiors, and, in all likelihood, would reveal him to be a weak, crumbling brick compromising the integrity of the wall that is society, EdgeTech associate supervisor Louis Greely, 34, openly shared a personal shortcoming with his coworkers Tuesday. 'I'm tired,' Greely said within earshot of six fellow employees, all of whom now surely view him as a substandard contributor to the productivity of his workplace and nation. 'I really hope we get out of here by [the bare minimum work-cessation hour of] five today.' Greely was reportedly anxious to leave work because he wished to compound his humiliating folly by weeping openly at his dying mother's hospital bedside. 
1	Citing recent employment gains in the telecommunications, transportation, energy, and solid waste management sectors, a report released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed that the sluggish economy is leading an increasing number of Americans to take jobs as infrastructure. As job openings in traditional industries continue to fall short of expectations, many Americans have determined that their best option is to take up work as support equipment like wind turbines, telephone poles, and highway guardrails, said lead researcher Calvin Mueller, noting that the number of adults currently serving as some form of load-bearing structure has grown by 38 percent since 2007. Additionally, we found that Americans are inclined to relocate to secure gainful work, as reflected by the trend of unemployed citizens of the Upper Midwest and Plains States moving to North Dakota in the hopes of finding work as fiber-optic cables. While few of these people have experience shuttling data between two points at the speed of light, most have reported a willingness to learn a new skill and be buried three feet below ground in order to improve their employment prospects. Mueller added that infrastructure employment appeared poised for continued growth, noting that Californias proposed high-speed train system alone could create as many as 200,000 railroad-track jobs. 
1	A report released Tuesday by the CIA's Office of the Inspector General revealed that the CIA has mistakenly obscured hundreds of thousands of pages of critical intelligence information with black highlighters. CIA Director Porter Goss. According to the report, sections of the documents 'almost invariably the most crucial passages'are marred by an indelible black ink that renders the lines impossible to read, due to a top-secret highlighting policy that began at the agency's inception in 1947. CIA Director Porter Goss has ordered further internal investigation. 'Why did it go on for this long, and this far?' said Goss in a press conference called shortly after the report's release. 'I'm as frustrated as anyone. You can't read a single thing that's been highlighted. Had I been there to advise [former CIA director] Allen Dulles, I would have suggested the traditional yellow coloror pink.' Goss added: 'There was probably some really, really important information in these documents.' When asked by a reporter if the black ink was meant to intentionally obscure, Goss countered, 'Good God, why?' Goss lamented the fact that the public will probably never know the particulars of such historic events as the Cold War, the civil-rights movement, or the growth of the international drug trade. 'I'm sure the CIA played major roles in all these things,' Goss said. 'But now we'll never know for sure.' In addition to clouding the historical record, the use of the black highlighters, also known as 'permanent markers,' may have encumbered or even prevented critical operations. CIA scholar Matthew Franks was forced to abandon work on a book about the Bay Of Pigs invasion after declassified documents proved nearly impossible to read. 'With all the highlighting in the documents I unearthed in the National Archives, it's really no wonder that the invasion failed,' Franks said. 'I don't see how the field operatives and commandos were expected to decipher their orders.' The inspector general's report cited in particular the damage black highlighting did to documents concerning the assassination of John F. Kennedy, thousands of pages of which 'are completely highlighted, from top to bottom margin.' 'It is unclear exactly why CIA bureaucrats sometimes chose to emphasize entire documents,' the report read. 'Perhaps the documents were extremely important in every detail, or the agents, not unlike college freshmen, were overwhelmed by the reading material and got a little carried away.' Also unclear is why black highlighters were chosen in the first place. Some blame it on the closed, elite culture of the CIA itself. A former CIA officer speaking on the condition of anonymity said highlighting documents with black pens was a common and universal practice. 'It seemed counterintuitive, but the higher-ups didn't know what they were doing,' the ex-officer said. 'I was once ordered to feed documents into a copying machine in order to make backups of some very important top-secret records, but it turned out to be some sort of device that cut the paper to shreds.' 
3	Jails are Becoming Insane Asylums: Thanks, Drug WarLily Dane But as the number of those with serious mental illnesses surpasses 20 percent in some jails, many have struggled to keep up, sometimes putting inmates in jeopardy. Correctional systems define mental illness in terms of inmates who take medication for serious issues ranging from major depressive disorders to schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. They also include inmates with diagnoses that justify overnight stays in a mental hospital, or those who demonstrate serious functional impairment. Experts have attributed the rise in inmates with mental illness to the closings of psychiatric hospitals. They say one reason is that many states do not have comprehensive community treatment programs. In the 1980s, approximately 6% of inmates showed signs of mental illness. A 2009 study revealed that 17% of inmates have serious mental illness. And far greater numbers have been reported by individual jails. Researchers long warned mental illness is being criminalized, as police arrest more people for low-level offenses. Last year, during an interview with 60 Minutes, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart warned about the dangers of sending mentally ill people to jail. Dart called jails and prisons the new insane asylums and says the criminal justice system is not equipped to address issues of mental illness: Not only are inmates with mental illness not receiving the care they need, they are also more likely to be abused while incarcerated. The Young Turks reported on the shocking abuse that is occurring in Americas prisons: Lets go back to an important point many inmates with mental illness are incarcerated for low-level, victimless crimes. About 70% of inmates who suffer from mental illness are serving time for drug charges. Another important point worth considering is that these individuals may be self-medicating with illegal drugs. Marijuana has been shown to be beneficial in treating anxiety and depression, for example. A particularly disturbing example of an inmate who suffered a terrible fate while in jail on drug charges was reported by PoliceStateUSA: Rainey, who suffered from mental illness, was accused of defecating in his cell without cleaning it up. The Floridas Department of Corrections often comes up with cruel and imaginative punishments for prisoners allegedly ranging from starvation diets to forcing prisoners to fight so the guards could place bets. Raineys punishment was to stand confined in a narrow chamber, being blasted with hot water and steam, and left to suffer there for over one hour. I cant take it no more, Im sorry. I wont do it again, Rainey screamed over and over, the Miami Herald discovered from a fellow inmates grievance complaint. The Miami Herald reports that it was DOC Officer Roland Clarke who was on video placing Rainey in the shower at 7:38 p.m on June 23, 2012. He was found dead at 9:30 p.m. Raineys case is still being investigated, supposedly. In 2013, the Obama administration requested $25.6 billion in federal spending on the drug war. Of that, $15 billion was designated for law enforcement, interdiction and international efforts. When you combine state and local spending on everything from drug-related arrests to prison, the total cost adds up to at least $51 billion per year. Over the last four decades, American taxpayers have spent $1 trillion on the drug war. The result of that spending? Unchanged drug addiction rates and the worlds highest incarceration rate, with 2.2 million Americans in jail or prison. Indeed, the war on drugs has been an abject failure. In his article The War That Never Ends, Neil Simon revealed some alarming statistics: With more states considering the legalization of marijuana, the US may slowly start to relax its tyrannical and ineffective drug laws, resulting in less imprisonment for those charged with victimless crimes. But with the increasing police state and big money in the private prison system, things arent looking too good for Americans especially for those who suffer from mental illness or addiction.

3	The List Bilderberg 2016: Middle Class Becomes Aimless as Tech Takes OverBy Aaron Dykes While Bilderberg handles the propaganda coup to stop Brexit from succeeding and while they discuss the ways they have of dealing with Donald Trump, there will be a topic with far greater significance for your future More than ever, the effect of technology is being felt, and is ready to shake the foundations that our society is built upon. That means jobs with no security, few benefits and an economy with an uncertain future. (Please see the notes under the list and topics for further information.) This was just released via BilderbergMeetings.org for June 7, 2016: Final list of Participants CHAIRMAN Aboutaleb, Ahmed (NLD), Mayor, City of Rotterdam Hoffman, Reid (USA), Co-Founder and Executive Chairman, LinkedIn What will be most important at the 2016 discussion? There are gigantic moves underway with regard to the price of oil and the end of the petrodollar era. The geopolitical effects are not only being played out in conflict regions like Syria, Yemen and the Ukraine, but in the headlines (as seen in the public passing of the blame between Saudi Arabia and U.S. over 9/11) and in economic sabotage seen most blatantly with Venezuela, but happening all across the globe. The Brexit referendum would be a particularly large blow to the European Unions credibility and image, and the Bilderberg crowd who gave birth to the EU have reputations and egos invested deeply in the superstate project. But in the long-term, it is the drastic changes in the economic landscape that will cause the most instability, outrage and upheaval. It is largely centered around the rapid pace of technological growth and the online world, and the grave implications it has for employment and living standards. Just check out the topics Bilderberg is focusing on United States economy: growth, debt, reform as well as discussion on the impact of technological innovation and migration to economic and social factors. Looming largest of all is the ominous topic precariat and middle class. What the hell is the precariat? And why is this term important for Bilderberg or the middle class? In the age where even the Davos elite are preoccupied with the wealth gap and the power of the 1% over the revolutionary masses the term precariat is a modern spin on the proletariat of the next era getting by from gig-to-gig an in an economy with no clear future and uncertain job security. Precariat via Wikipedia: In sociology and economics, the precariat is a social class formed by people suffering from precarity, which is a condition of existence without predictability or security, affecting material or psychological welfare. Unlike the proletariat class of industrial workers in the 20th century who lacked their own means of production and hence sold their labour to live, members of the Precariat are only partially involved in labour and must undertake extensive unremunerated activities that are essential if they are to retain access to jobs and to decent earnings. Specifically, it is the condition of lack of job security, including intermittent employment or underemployment and the resultant precarious existence.[1] The emergence of this class has been ascribed to the entrenchment of neoliberal capitalism. Like the sardonic question posed by Bilderberg in 2014 Does Privacy Exist? the precariat is meant to poke at all the American Dream leftovers who will find themselves without direction, meaningful employment or much other hope for the coming decades of innovation under robotics and automation. The topic is one that has been probed by Guy Standing, who is Professor of Development Studies at SOAS, University of London and has promoted the idea of basic income as a global right. Northeastern University reported on Professor Standings new agenda: Guy Standing, author of The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class, and A Precariat Charter, spoke about his new work to an overflow group of students and faculty in the Raytheon Amphitheater on February 22nd, 2016. Standing defines the precariat as an emerging class of people facing lives of economic insecurity, moving in and out of jobs that give little meaning to their lives. As such, they develop emotions of anomie, anxiety, alienation, and anger. The precariat is a dangerous class because it is internally divided, including college graduates without career prospects, adjuncts and other involuntary part-time workers, migrants and other vulnerable groups that tend to be vilified, as well as what Standing called atavists and nostalgics. Lacking agency, its members may be susceptible to the calls of political extremism. What will happen to people when millions can no longer find work? Who will support their cost of living and what will justify their place in society? How will a dead broke government pay for all its dependents in the larger collectivist society? Global government shall apparently aim to provide In considering these questions, please also note the presence of David M. Cote, the Chairman and CEO of Honeywell (a major defense contractor) who has not previous shown up on any Bilderberg attendee rosters. He is almost certainly in Dresden to give a special presentation on: US political landscape, economy: growth, debt, reform. How will financial futures be dealt with in the face of bankrupt and bloated obligations for benefits? How can governments pay for all those people to retire, have health care and live decent lives? David M. Cote is there to give an answer bankers can believe in. David M. Cote is an expert on financial risk who is known for losing $2 billion in derivatives while at JP Morgan Chase, who served on the NY Federal Reserve board and who was appointed by President Obama to a key committee on debt wherein Cote has recommended cutting social benefits in order to reduce the budget deficit. According to the Union Leader: In 2010, President Barack Obama named Cote to serve on the bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, more commonly known as the Simpson-Bowles Commission. Cote said he [.] discuss[ed] reigning in federal entitlement programs as part of an overall effort to curb budget deficits and reduce the federal debt. . By and large, a majority of politicians understand the problem, he said. Its a lack of political will out of fear their decision will be used against them. . Cote is a co-founder of Fix the Debt, a group of executives and former legislators who campaign for deficit reduction and tax reform. In a 2013 interview with the New Hampshire Union Leader, Cote [] framed the options for deficit reduction in terms of either increases in taxes or a reduction in social security benefits, saying, If you have people saying, Dont raise my taxes, but dont cut my benefits, it makes it really difficult to get anything done. The rapidly aging baby boomers have created a giant problem for taxes and debt. But there are even more important factors on the horizon. While dealing with these issues is clearly important, and the prospect of cutting benefits might even sit well with many conservatives, keep in mind that Bilderberg is operating in the shadows, and creating a solution for the elite. These insider titans stand to prosper through the management of pension funds and their investment in derivatives and other vehicles, through increased profits in health care and through the management of a society that has become entirely dependent upon social welfare and benefits just to get by. In the wake of continuing technological revolution, human labor has officially been discounted, rendered obsolete and has become secondary in usefulness only. The effects of that truth are about to widely felt. The bureaucrats know it. The banksters know it. The executives know it. The Silicon Valley elite know it.

AUTOMATION IS REPLACING MANUAL LABORERS AND EVEN REDUCING THE HOURS PER WEEK THAT WHITE COLLAR WORKERS CAN BE MOST EFFICIENTLY UTILIZED WORLDWIDE. WORKERS DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THIS BUT THE POWERS THAT BE DO. WE CAN UNDERSTAND THAT THE POWERS THAT BE HAVE UNIONS AND ASSOCIATIONS ARE ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY BUT MORE OBJECTIVE CHOICES HAVE TO BE, WILL BE MADE AT THE TOP BY ONE 6 YEAR TERM LIMITS THE ORIGINAL 13 COLONIES WERE A UNION MOVEMENT FOR THE COMMON GOOD. LABOR UNIONS ARE NOT BAD. WE HAD CHILD LABOR, LONG DAYS AND DEADLY WORKING CONDITIONS BEFORE PEOPLE WORKED TOGETHER AT GREAT PERSONAL GOVERNMENT, MORE PRECISELY THE MANAGEMENT OF OUR NECESSARY SOCIETAL INSTITUTIONS BY OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE COMMON MULTI TERMS IN OFFICE IS THE GLOBAL PROBLEM THAT CAN BE SOLVED NOW. MOST PEOPLE EVEN POLITICAL CANDIDATES ARE GOOD THE FIRST TIME THEY RUN FOR OFFICE. THE POWERS THAT BE SUBJECTIVELY CONTROL THE WITHOUT A STRONG AND INTERCONNECTED FAIR GLOBAL ECONOMY WE CANNOT GAIN SECURITY AND BRING UP THE LIVING STANDARD OF OVER 50% OF THE WORLDS POPULATION, WHICH BY THE WAY, WE CANNOT CONTROL WITH WEAPONS ONLY WITH JUSTICE AND HOPE OF OPPORTUNITY. THE BEST WAY TO COUNTER TERRORISTS IS TO DRY UP THEIR FRIENDLY SEA AND ABILITY TO GET AWAY WITH TERROR. NO ONE PERSON HAS THE TIME AND ABILITY TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT IS IMPORTANT TO OUR WELFARE IN OUR NEVER BEFORE EXPERIENCED 21ST CENTURY INTER-CONNECTED WORLD. WE NEED GOOD OBJECTIVE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES GETTING OBJECTIVE INFORMATION FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES AND MANAGING THE SYSTEM TO MAKE THE MOST EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE DECISIONS FOR THE COMMON GOOD NOT FOR POLITICAL EXPEDIENCE. EVEN THE POWERS THAT BE, WORLDWIDE WILL BE BETTER OFF BECAUSE FREE PEOPLE, ON A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD, PRODUCE MORE, KEEP MORE AND SHARE MORE. THIS CHANGE IN REPRESENTATION/MANAGEMENT OF OUR SOCIETAL INSTITUTIONS WILL GO AROUND THE WORLD AND WITHIN ABOUT 40 YEARS WE WILL HAVE 10 TIMES THE STANDARD OF LIVING AND SECURITY WORLDWIDE. http://WWW.ONE6YEARTERMLIMITS.ORG YES THERE WILL STILL BE A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF CRAZIES, CRIMINALS AND POWER FANATICS BUT WE WILL BE UNITED IN SETTING RATIONAL STANDARDS FOR UNIFIED EFFECTIVE NEUTRALIZATION OF THE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT FIT IN CIVILIZED SOCIETY AND WILL NOT CHANGE FOR THE COMMON GOOD. EVEN THE POWERS THAT BE WILL BE BETTER OFF BECAUSE FREE PEOPLE, WITH A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD, PRODUCE MORE, KEEP MORE AND SHARE MORE. WITHOUT THIS CHANGE THERE WOULD LIKELY BE ONLY A POTENTIAL 2 TO 2.5 TIMES INCREASE IN THE GLOBAL STANDARD OF LIVING AND REDUCED SECURITY AND INCREASED LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM TO INCLUDE SMALL DIRTY NUCLEAR DEVICES AND EMPS. THERE IS NO WAY TO SECURITY AND GROWTH BY THE SYSTEMIC ANSWER TO ALMOST ALL OF OUR SOCIETAL PROBLEMS IS ONE 6 YEAR TERM LIMITS. THINK ABOUT IT! WE DO NOT HAVE ANYWHERE PRODUCTION IS IN THE SYSTEM. WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM. JUST A SMALL BUT IMPORTANT CHANGE. IT IS NOT THE PARTY OR THE PERSON. IT IS THE SYSTEM. 85% OF ALL PEOPLE EVERYWHERE WORLDWIDE ARE GOOD PEOPLE WHO WANT TO WORK TOGETHER FOR THE COMMON GOOD. WE ARE JUST ORGANIZED, REPRESENTED AND MANAGED INEFFICIENTLY. THE 15% WILL NOT HAVE CONTROL BY MULTI TERMS IN OFFICE AND SENIORITY TO SUBJECTIVELY CONTROL THE ESTABLISHMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF OUR NECESSARY SOCIETAL INSTITUTIONS AGAINST THE COMMON GOOD. THE MOST EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE WAY WE CAN EVOLVE OUR SOCIETAL IF YOU DO NOT THINK ONE 6 YEAR TERM LIMITS IS THE EVOLUTION NEEDED WHAT YOU ARE REALLY SAYING IS THAT YOU HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD OR ADMITTED Q. HOW TO GET IT DONE! QUITE SIMPLY! DO THIS NOW! A.1 WE THE CITIZENS ARE MAKING IT KNOWN THAT WE WILL NOT VOTE FOR ANY OF THE 435 CANDIDATES FOR REPRESENTATIVE, THE 34 SENATORS AND THE CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT WHO ARE RUNNING FOR ELECTION OR WE WILL SET THE EXAMPLE IN THE U.S. AND ONE 6 YEAR TERM LIMITS WILL GO AROUND THE WORLD. IT IS IN OUR ENLIGHTENED SELF-INTEREST TO THINK AND ACT. WE CAN ALL ACHIEVE MORE WORKING TOGETHER THEN WORKING ALONE. ALL OF US WANT THE SAME THINGS, FOOD IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITY AND QUALITY, SHELTER FROM TEMPERATURE AND WEATHER AND SECURITY FROM THE TOOS, TOO TIRED TO WORK, NEED TIME OFF, TOO SICK TO WORK NEED HEALTH CARE, TOO OLD TO WORK AT THE SAME LEVEL NEED SOCIAL SECURITY. http://WWW.ONE6YEARTERMLIMITS.ORG Your manifesto would reach a wider audience if it werent all in uppercase and conformed with basic standards of grammar and punctuation. 1AL THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT.

So many of the scum in all one place hhhhmmm. If they can control all important elections by controlling who or what gets to appear on the ballots, hacked voting machines, voter disenfranchisement, media manipulation, and other forms of election fraud, the rest of their policies are not in jeopardy.

3	Strategies for Undermining the Globalist Agenda and Restoring Power to Local CommunitiesTony Cartalucci, Contributor Many geopolitical analysts know this, and yet champion for the immediate treatment of these symptoms, particularly the end of violence, which makes perfect sense in a sense of triage, but will ultimately fail if the root of the problem is not also exposed and a solution for digging it out not formulated and appropriately promoted. The Problem Syrias problem is not the Free Syrian Army nor the Syrian National Council, nor the myriad of terrorist organizations operating under this umbrella but rather the corporate-financier driven foreign interests that created them, fund them, arm them, and both tactically and politically perpetuate their activities. Syrias problem is that it has attracted the attention of Wall Street and London and found itself in the middle of their geopolitical aspirations for global hegemony. Image: The Friends of Syria. Syrias problem does not revolve around the political aspirations of armed rebels, but rather the conspiring and machinations of the global elite, who long-ago premeditated the destruction of Syria for their own, larger, overarching geopolitical agenda. The Solution Geopolitical analysts believe that balking Western ambitions for regime change in Syria by immediately coming to a negotiated agreement with Syrias so-called opposition should take priority. Even by merely attempting to do this with some degree of credibility may afford both Syria, and free humanity the time needed to retrench against foreign destabilization even if a settlement ultimately fails. However, the West has become an expert at creating false paradigms, creating debates and conflicts that obfuscate the true nature of any given problem obfuscating that they themselves are generally at he root of it. In the case of Syria, so much time has been invested in reaching this negotiated agreement, that many have lost sight of the fact it is the West creating this violence in the first place and that their proxy opposition movement has purposefully rejected any and all reasonable terms of negotiated agreements specifically to avoid this reprieve in destabilization breaking momentum the West fears it may be unable to recreate even in the near future should a meaningful ceasefire be established. Beyond this goal for temporary reprieve, lies solutions aimed deeper and broader, at the very base of the elitist hegemonic powers driving this conflict, and similar campaigns of violence and political destabilization worldwide. 1. Identifying and exposing the corporate-financier interests driving the governments of NATO and its proxies, its institutions and NGOs including the monolithic Western corporate-media, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, the International Criminal Court, and even to a great extent the United Nations itself, as well as driving the covert network of militant terrorists playing the leading role in Syrias violence is the first step in truly solving Syria. Exposing these interests and that they alone premeditated this violent campaign of political, social, and military destabilization, and repeating it to match the lies their corporate-media presents on a daily basis is an absolute necessity in undermining and breaking the legitimacy of the Wests narrative. It is a narrative being used as cover to couch its campaign of military, economic, and societal conquest and without it, the West is forced to pursue what is essentially naked military conquest as imperialists, not as protectors or liberators. Image: A visual representation of the US State Department, National Endowment for Democracys corporate-financier ties found across their Board of Directors. Far from human rights advocates, they are instead simply leveraging such issues to disguise what is in reality corporate-financier hegemonic expansion.. Illustrating how NGOs, institutions, and the media manipulate public opinion by abusing the concepts of human rights, freedom, and democracy is not only key to undermining the Wests goals in Syria, but breaking the legitimacy of their geopolitical gambits worldwide. 2. Creating a strategy for undermining and replacing Western institutions is a difficult but inevitably necessary step. The global elite have lulled humanity into a state of domestication through pervasive consumerism that has infected all aspects of modern life. Humanity has been told, and has begun to believe that life is a buffet of choices starting with lunch, extending to manufactured goods, education, health care, and up to and including self-determination. No longer do we roll up our sleeves to achieve our dreams and aspirations, we simply enter a voting booth and elect others to achieve them for us. The obvious flaw of this mentality is compounded when these candidates are then compromised on all sides by the very corporate-financier interests creating and perpetuating this consumerist paradigm. A megalomaniacal elite finds itself not with 7 billion people to placate, co-opt and control, but only their elected leaders. With the creation of elitist-serving supranational blocs like the European Union, ASEAN, the African Union, and others, the number of significant leaders required to co-opt is then further reduced. To counter this, the solution is obvious. Individuals, families, and communities must restore and improve upon local institutions that have all but been replaced by globalist international institutions. Tremendous effort has been put into undermining and destroying these institutions, which include: It is clear what benefits these institutions have traditionally lent communities, not just in America, but around the world. It is clear that the source of independence and true self-determination stems from local institutions of, for, and by the people. Power and wealth cannot not be more equitably distributed if local communities have no institutions for exercising them. The destruction and replacement of these local institutions with corporate-financier funded versions masquerading as human rights advocates, international law arbiters and enforcers, health care minders, institutions of education, and charitable foundations, has created a global community of, for, and by the corporate-financier elite of Wall Street, London, and an increasingly larger orbit of proxies and nouveau-globalist collaborators. By revisiting, restoring, and improving upon these local institutions, we can begin to erode both the legitimacy and effectiveness of the elites contrived global community. Doing this in tandem with a systematic full-spectrum boycott and replacement of corporate-financier goods, services, institutions, and dictates (like ACTA) will create a movement that incrementally removes the nefarious tentacles of unwarranted influence that have invaded our local communities, and on a larger scale, that have compromised the sovereignty of our respective nation-states. Conclusion Image: MITs Dr. Neil Gershenfeld inside his Fab Lab, arguably the birthplace of the personal fabrication revolution which seeks to place tools once exclusively in the domain of monopolistic corporations into the hands of the people on a local level giving the concept of self-sufficiency new meaning and relevance. In the vast mix of globalization and in the shadow of the human-domineering philosophy that drives it, are many people who seek to truly do well and improve the collective lot of humanity. It is important that we begin laying the groundwork locally to enable the efforts of these people to benefit us directly, rather than augmenting an already elitist-dominated paradigm. Returning to the problem of Syria while immediately stopping the violence, giving the Syrian people a reprieve and further delaying the ambitions of the West behind this upheaval and violence is important, it is paramount that we identify and begin working on the very root of the problem that allowed a handful of corporate-financiers to implement such wide-scale geopolitical destabilization, conflict, and death in the first place.

3	The TPP: a monster too big to fail?By Jon Rappoport I have written extensively about the Trans-Pacific Partnership Treaty and its destructive effects. (Full archive here.) Now that all 12 nations have agreed to the text, the US Congress must vote on it. Since the Congress has already granted Obama fast-track authority, no committees will discuss it; no filibustering is permitted; no changes can be made to the text. Again I stress: Obama was put in the White House to make TPP and similar treaties come to fruition. Failure is not an option. Obamas mentor on foreign policy, Zbigniew Brzezinski, is David Rockefellers right-hand man. And David is Globalism personified. The TPP elevates mega-corporations beyond even their present status: In a nutshell, any threats against international corporate piracy would be adjudicated in private corporate tribunalsso the outcome is completely predictable. And as with all other Globalist trade treaties (NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT, etc.), more jobs in industrialized nations will move to countries where slave labor is standard operating procedure. Obama was never about creating more jobs in America. He was and is about Globalism. Otherwise, there was no way he could have advanced beyond the Illinois State Senate, in his artificial career. The pressure on him now is enormous. With fiery bits of protest against the TPP springing up in the US Senate and House, with Trump and Bernie railing against the Treaty, Obama is counting his chickens (votes) every day. His people are on the phones, holding private meetings with Representatives and Senators, coordinating their strategies with corporate lobbyists. Its all hands on deck. Deals are being struck. Promises are being made. Markers are being called in. You want a bridge? You want a tunnel? You want your boy to get into Harvard? You want a new hooker? You want these juicy photos of you to remain hidden? You want the cocaine thing to go away forever? You want that house in the Bahamas? Whatever it takes. The TPP must pass. You can bet the NSA is in on this one. Theyve been spying on Congressional members for years. Because those members might be terrorists? Are you kidding? Whatever NSA has on recalcitrant Representatives and Senators can now be used to twist their arms. And members of Congress know that, if by some chance the TPP fails to pass, and they helped to defeat it, theyll be prime targets the next time Obama tries to ram it through. Theyll be naked in the rain, alone, at the mercy of greater forces. For Obama, for David Rockefeller, for Brzezinski, for the Trilateral Commission, the CFR, Bilderberger, and the presidents and premiers and prime ministers of the 12 TPP countries, this is The Big One. Thenthere is this little thing called the Internet. New torpedoes from independent news sites are hitting the TPP every day. It turns out that the world is not entirely asleep. What a revelation. In the old days, the TPP would have passed without a whisper or a whimper. But now And as the unemployment situation-disaster grows worse in a number of industrial nationsin large part owing to past Globalist trade treatiesits become harder to sell the next great treaty that will further sink workers and economies. Unions are feeling the squeeze. How can they support the TPP when their millions of members see the looming horror show? The primary lie about Globalism is obvious to anyone who has eyes. How can our august leaders pretend that shutting down domestic factories and businesses and sending all those jobs to distant nations is a good thing? How can these leaders tell us that the ability to buy cheap imports is a wonderful outcome, when millions of people here at home have been thrown out of work? The Globalists are sitting at the table shoving in all their chips on a bet that is a transparent bluffand the question is, who is going to call them on it? Obama is aging rapidly in the Oval Office. He has been told many times, from above, that this, the TPP, is his moment. This is when he pays off his debt to those who put him in the Presidency. This is not a Ferguson moment or a Charleston moment or an immigration moment or a Common Core moment or a Syria moment or a gun-control moment. This is his moment to sell a supreme number-one lie. This is a test of his political skills and his allegiance to the forces of destruction. This is it. He is supposed to take off his mask behind the scenes and make his bones. At that level, the TPP has nothing to do with he-said he-said or rational argument. It has to do with how far Obama will go to earn his position in the mob and avoid the consequences of failure. The Globalist bosses intend to rule the planet. The TPP is their next big step. Theyre not in the business of promoting losers. (To read about Jons mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed, click here.)

It never could and never will! Nothing is too big to fail. My congresswoman, Cathy McMorris-Rodgers, made exactly $900,732 for voting in favor of fast-tracking the TPP. Thats only the reported amount. Theres a great chance she actually made a lot more than that. Look up your congressmans records, and see what they made off of it, as its public record, then let them have it. Bombard the media with this info, tell all your friends and neighbors, whatever is necessary. 
2	Famous Hollywood Actor Dies In Tragic Plane Crash... Fans Calling For Prayers This week, fans of the History Channels reality television show Ice Road Truckers mourned the loss of Darrell Ward. The shows star lost his life on Sunday when his plane crashed en route from Dallas to Missoula, MT. Ward was on his way back from the Great American Truck Show that he attended over the weekend. Ironically, the reality star was scheduled to begin filming a documentary on what goes into recovering a plane crash. In a statement to Fox, a spokesman for the show said, We are saddened by the tragic loss of Darrell Ward, a beloved member of the HISTORY family. He will be greatly missed and our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time. A press release was also posted to Wards social media page, serving as an outlet for fans and family who wanted to pay their respects. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Darrells, one fan wrote. Loved watching him on The Ice Road Truckers. He will be missed by all!!! We are stunned and saddened by this tragic loss, our thoughts and prayers go to his family, another chimed in. May the good lord wrap his loving arms around you and comfort you as well as to give you the strength and courage to get thru this. The family also released a short statement to the public. While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the familys privacy during their time of grief. His manager and best friend M. Bob Stanton and long time friend Chuck Campbell are expected to make a lengthier statement shortly.

Okay, well, thats thatanyone want to keep one of these bones before I dump them? said lead archaeologist Richard Buckley moments prior to dumping a bucket full of the well-preserved Plantagenet Kings remains into a hole in the ground and brushing the dirt off his hands. Everybody good? Okay. Im glad we did this. This was fun. According to members of the research team, they planned on keeping a small sample of dirt from the gravesite as a little keepsake. 
3	Google, Corporate Press Launch Attack On Alternative MediaBy Brandon Turbeville This article comes shortly after an announcement by Google that it would be prohibiting fake and misrepresentative sites from using its AdSense program. The company stated to Reuters that, Moving forward, we will restrict ad serving on pages that misrepresent, misstate, or conceal information about the publisher, the publishers content, or the primary purpose of the web property. This policy includes fake news sites, the spokesperson confirmed. Google already prevents its AdSense program from being used by sites that promote violent videos and imagery, pornography, and hate speech. And, of course, the definition of the Orwellian-named hate speech, violence, misrepresentation and fake news is all going to be determined by Facebook and Google. War, for instance, is extremely violent but there is a necessity to cover it and even produce images from the battlefield in the process. Police shootings and other forms of violence against citizens is also violent but a necessary issue to cover. Hate speech is incredibly subjective and, in 2016, speech has come to be labeled as hate even when it merely respectfully disagreed with a protected identity group. But the new Google policy and the intent to remove what is for many websites a main source of revenue has obvious political implications and is about much more than a desire to prevent unpleasant images, violence, and hate from being shown to Americans. That is, it is obvious that the intention of Google is to starve out the source of revenue for the alternative media, thereby crashing the alternative media as a competitor for mainstream outlets and eliminating any sources of critical thought and competing narratives. The mainstream media is a dying institution. This much is clear. Fewer and fewer people are paying attention to CNN, FOX, U.S. News and World Report, and the rest of the corporate press, while more and more people are tuning in to independent and alternative broadcasts and visiting alternative media websites. This is posing a major threat not only to the very survival of the corporate news but also to the narratives being peddled by the U.S. State Department, Wall Street, and Corporate America via their media mouthpieces. The cat is coming out of the bag for the U.S. oligarchy and the only way to put it back is to ensure that the alternative media goes away and that the American people will only be able to consume the garbage shoveled out by major corporations from here on out. But back to Dickers article. We should note that the categorization of the flagged sites is interesting indeed. The fake news sites are listed into three groups satire, hoax, and propaganda. As selfnews Post has pointed out, satire is a legitimate form of literature. Perhaps the writers and editors of stuffy and irrelevant media organizations like U.S. News and World Report are unaware of the art of sarcasm or irony, which is apparent by the fact that U.S. News and World Report has the audacity to call another outlet a propaganda site. Dicker also mentions hoax websites. I must confess much irritation over constantly seeing actual fake news websites often even listed as satire but which are, in reality, hoaxes, floating around the Internet and social media and being shared by well-meaning people who cannot take the time to investigate their own source of information. Sites with headlines like Hillary Clinton Shoots Puppy After Election Loss or Donald Trump Vomits Demon On Israeli Prime Minister are unfortunately clogging up the works for legitimate news organizations (and by that I mean many alternative outlets) but such is the risk in a free society where people are free to choose what they read and think. That being said, I wonder how many lives would have been lost as a result of a number of Americans believing that Hillary Clinton shot a puppy or Donald Trump is possessed versus believing that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction? I guess we will never know the stats for the former, but perhaps we should ask the editors of the trusted New York Times, CNN, CBS, and their ilk for the numbers on the latter. Indeed, for U.S. News and World Report to label selfnews Post as propaganda whilst disseminating unproven allegations and obvious pro-war propaganda is hypocritical to say the least. Remember, it was U.S. News and World Report that published The Liberal Case For Intervention In Syria, which was a pathetic attempt to justify yet another American war of aggression against a country that did nothing to the U.S. nor posed any threat to it. The author, Eric Schnurer, attempted to make the case that invading Syria and slaughtering civilians directly (as opposed to the proxy method being used currently) was actually the moral thing to do. Or perhaps we should mention the countless interviews with military-industrial complex Think Tanks and foreign-relations strategy firms that are consistently promoted by US News And World Report (USNAWR) in order to add to the cheerleading squad of pro-war/anti-Russia commentators designed to create a false-consensus, i.e. that the experts all agree that Assad is a brutal dictator killing his own people and that Putin wants to control the world. We must also mention the constant braying over chemical weapons being used in Syria, being blamed on Assad, all the while these news organizations are aware that there is virtually no evidence to back up their claims. USNAWR even saw fit to post an editorial by an individual claiming that WMDs were found in Iraq and that Bush was right all along, a separation from reality if ever there was one. The saddest part about the journalistic quality of USNAWR is that, bad as their articles often are, the really bad ones are actually the most interesting. Looking at USNAWRs website, the corporation seems to be nothing more than a bigger version of those ranking sites advertised under so many news articles. You know the ones Im talking about with headlines like 10 Hottest Athletes and 30 Actors That Are Actually Gay. The difference, however, is that USNAWR throws in several articles to give their readers the false impression that visiting the site is not an incredible waste of time. Rachel Dickers articles themselves are evidence of the irrelevance of USNAWR. Take a look at her history and you will see articles full of incredible journalistic sleuthing a Golden Pheasant that looks like Donald Trump, whats trending on Chinese social media, a letter written by a creator of a television show, and, of course, a musical performance by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Riveting stuff. Interestingly enough, Dicker did not mention the New York Times and their coverage of the non-existent WMDs in Iraq. Shouldnt that organization be labeled propaganda? Not only that, NYTs information managed to kill a million Iraqis and over 3,000 American soldiers. Not even an honorable mention? There was also no mention of CNN for its infamous Syria Danny fiasco where the corporation was caught red-handed staging a propaganda video against the Syrian government, ultimately to draw Americans in to having pro-war sentiment despite the weariness of foreign adventures enabled by real news organizations like the New York Times and CNN. This outright lie was exposed by the alternative media, highlighting the reason why corporate news organizations, Wall Street, and the military industrial complex want the alternative media silent. Likewise, Dicker did not mention NPR and its Gay Girl In Damascus ordeal where the organization promoted a storyline designed to demonize the Syrian government despite the fact that the Gay Girl In Damascus was neither gay, nor a girl, nor even in Damascus. Indeed, we can make many lists of many different things when discussing the mainstream and alternative media but I suggest we begin by making lists of the actual consequences of their work. Perhaps a list of the dead civilians who were killed as a result of the malfeasance and deception of the corporate media would be a place to start. Perhaps a list of dead military personnel would also make for an interesting list. But while CNN concerns itself with Beyonce and U.S. News And World Report must first report on birds that look like Trump, the alternative media will continue to cover real news which, of course, includes the epic fails of the corporate press. While Zuckerberg and Schmidt attempt to deal a lethal blow to the alternative press, rest assured that AdSense will not be the end of alternative media. Americas favorite dorks may deliver a decent punch to many outlets but, in the end, the alternative media and the propaganda sites Dicker is so worried about will have the opportunity of watching the corporate press decay and disappear into the dustbin of history.

Now the end begins. Time to take the purse strings. Hopefully other site will pop up. As much as they would like us to believe otherwise, Doodle and Fakebook do not own the truth or rule the world. This is the false matrix concept they want us to acquire, but thats all it is. I just hope people rise to the challenge and donate to alternative sites when they lose ad revenue. This amazing list of publications (kudos to selfnews Post for managing to make the cut) struck me upon first perusal (different article, same list) as being the result of what is called a slow news day, wherein slow is used as an adjective. As though in a world which is disintegrating around our ears there could even be such a thing, a day in which the only things of interest to report consist of wardrobe mishaps, cute pet photos, and which celebrity said what about which celebrity said what about which celebrity said This article manages to turn the word slow, used in the context of slow news, into a verb, just one more pathetic attempt to turn the publics attention away from what goes on behind the MSM curtain. One thing Hillary got right when addressing the Senate: Americans are turning to alternative sources like al Jazeera because, unlike our MSM, they put out real news. Asshats are pissed off because they can no longer control elections. Problem is putting up that list is an invite for people to check out those sites themselves to see what is going on and whoops they often tell news that corporations have tried to censor out of existence. Lame Stream Media id dead. Its now come to the point where we are TOLD what to think and believe. I thought I did pretty good over my many years using common sense and sorting out what I thought was truth vs. false information. 
3	Constitution-Free Zones Are Not a ConspiracyBy Bauer Marshall While this may seem antiquated to some politicians, the aforementioned amendment is still under attack, especially with the concept of Constitution-Free Zones. Before, I expound upon the foundation of Constitution-Free Zones, the following video should give some insight to the topic. With this in mind, lets now get down to the nitty gritty. I know the phrase seems archaic, given the fact Im 31-years-old, but bear with me. In December of 2013, District Judge Edward Korman, finally made his ruling, after the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a law suit in 2010 on behalf of Islamic Studies student, Pascal Abidor, then 29-years-old. Abidor was sitting in the trains cafe car when an officer forced him to take out his laptop then ordered Mr. Abidor to enter his password, the suit claimed. The computer contained images of Hamas and Hezbollah rallies and the agents, unmoved by Abidors assertion the images were related to his studies, handcuffed the young man and kept him detained for three hours, questioning him numerous times. The ACLU, claimed that border officials should have a reasonable suspicion before shifting through someones personal files. However, Judge Korman ruled, that the area 100 miles inland is a border exemption. Laptops have only come into widespread use in the twenty-first century. Prior to that time, lawyers, photographers, and scholars managed to travel overseas and consult with clients, take photographs, and conduct scholarly research, wrote Korman. As one can expect, the ACLU was livid regarding the ruling. Were disappointed in todays decision, which allows the government to conduct intrusive searches of Americans laptops and other electronics at the border without any suspicion that those devices contain evidence of wrongdoing, ACLUattorney,Catherine Crumpshe said. While this seems shocking, it should really come as no surprise, given the last 15 years of policy making by Congress and Presidents Bush and Obama. Here is the actual map of what critics call Constitution-Free Zones, which can be viewed on the ACLUs Web site. In 2009, the DHS, one of the responsibilities of which is securing our borders, stated it would conduct a Civil Liberties Assessment into its policy of suspicionless search-and-seizures of electronic devices. While the assessment was originally supposed to be delivered in around 120 days, it actually took three years of waiting before the review was issued. We also conclude that imposing a requirement that officers have reasonable suspicion in order to conduct a border search of an electronic device would be operationally harmful without concomitant civil rights/civil liberties benefits, the executive summary stated. The suspicionless search-and-seizure policy began in 2008 under the Bush administration. In that year, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), an agency under the umbrella of the DHS, declared CBP had the right to search laptops, electronic devices and printed material of any traveler (U.S. citizen or non-citizen) at the border, absent individualized suspicion. So far the same policy is being continued under President Barack Obama. Between 2008 and 2010, 6,500 persons have had their various electronic devices searched. With the Fourth Amendment, you might logically think they would be legally protected from such searches. Sadly, you would be wrong, since the protection does not apply to the border and could actually stretch 100 miles inland, because of a Constitution-Free Zone, as the American Civil Liberties Union refers to it. A great video to watch on this is Border Patrol (100 miles from the border), which is embedded below: There should be a reasonable, articulate reason why the search of our electronic devices could lead to evidence of a crime, Catherine Crump, an ALCU staff attorney said. Thats a low threshold, said Crump. This is a civil liberties watchdog office. If it is doing its job property, it is supposed to objectively evaluate. It has the power to recommend safeguard to Americans rights. The office has not done that and the public has the right to know why, Crump said. According to the ACLU, The Constitution-Free Zone of the United States, encompasses all borders affecting 197.4 million people. Here are some more cases, such as the one above, where the Customs and Border Protection overreached. Between 2006 and 2010 in the Rochester, NY, area, approximately 300 immigrants with legal status were arrested by Border Patrol agents, then released. The arrests coincided with an incentive program that rewarded agents with cash bonuses and Home Depot gift cards based on the number of arrests they made. According to the ACLU of Arizona, in Tucson, community members report CBP agents entering courthouses and hospitals (including maternity wards) and approaching and interrogating hospital patients, motorists, and pedestrians. A patient at University of Arizona Medical Center was reportedly forced to deliver her child with a CBP agent in the room. CBP agents in Tucson regularly respond to calls to investigate from police, hospital staff, and school officials. These incidents often result from and encourage racial profiling of U.S. citizens and lawful residents. In April 2012, residents of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State filed a class action lawsuit challenging the Border Patrols practice of stopping vehicles and interrogating occupants without legal justification.CBP settled the lawsuit and agreed to require training for Border Patrol agents in the area on Fourth Amendment protections against illegal searches and seizures, and to provide the ACLU with data regarding all traffic stops that take place in the area for the next 18 months.These terms should be extended nationwide and data collected from CBP checkpoints as well as roving patrols. Lets hope this abuse of power is challenged and our right to be protected from unreasonable searches and seizures are restored. One suggestion by the ACLU is this. As Ben Franklin once said, They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

1	The Food and Drug Administration made an emergency announcement Monday to alert all U. S. citizens that 'a force or forces unknown' is turning seemingly normal bananas black, soft, and virtually inedible in as little as 72 hours. 'Whatever is causing the dramatic and frankly disgusting changes in these bananas is able to penetrate any container and is completely undetectable by any known instrument,' said visibly shaken FDA commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg, adding that the black sections of banana were 'quite mushy and gross.' 'We urge anyone currently in possession of normal yellow bananas to consume them immediately, before this mysterious blackening malignancy can strikeand it will strike.' The disturbing news comes only weeks after the FDA's announcement that bananas' tough, fibrous outer layer should always be removed before consumption. 
3	U2, Bono? Celeb partners with Monsanto, G8, to biowreck African farms with GMOsRady Ananda And Bono, of the rock group U2, is out shilling for Monsanto on this one. Its phase 2 of the Green Revolution. Tanzania, Ghana, and Ethiopia are the first to fall for the deception, with Mozambique, Cote dIvoire, Burkina Faso and other African nations lining up for the Grow Africa Partnership, under Obamas Global Agricultural Development plan. In Obama Pitches India Model of GM Genocide to Africa, Scott Creighton writes: With a commitment of $3 billion, Obama plans to partner up with mega-multinationals like Monsanto, Diageo, Dupont, Cargill, Vodafone, Walmart, Pepsico, Prudential, Syngenta International, and Swiss Re because, as one USAID representative says There are things that only companies can do, like building silos for storage and developing seeds and fertilizers. Of course, thats an outrageous lie. Private citizens have been building their own silos for centuries. But its true that only the biowreck engineers will foist patented seeds and toxic chemicals on Africa. Volatility chimed in: The soil is stripped of all nutrition and zombified by ever-increasing applications of synthetic fertilizer. Monoculture is ever more dependent on the increasing application of ever more toxic herbicides and pesticides. Deployment of GMOs escalates these vulnerabilities. Factory farms can exist only with ever increasing use of antibiotics. All these systems are extremely tenuous, vulnerable, not robust, not resilient. Theyre all guaranteed to collapse. Hermetic monoculture, and industrial agriculture as such, is one big hothouse flower which requires perfect conditions to survive. Thats not all the harm wrought by the petrochemical synthetic ag industry, as this 2012 superweed map by the University of Wisconsin shows: Insects have also developed resistance. As reported last August, The Western rootworm beetle one of the most serious threats to corn has developed resistance to Monsantos Bt-corn, and entire crops are being lost. In March, two dozen corn entomologists warned regulators that the only way to defeat growing insect resistance to genetically modified corn is to plant non-GMO seed. Increasing pesticide use or buffer zone size will not solve the growing problem of rootworm resistance to corn genetically modified. But if that doesnt deter African farmers, these petrochemicals have also been linked to human birth defects. Where Roundup Ready soy is being cultivated on a massive scale, reports Dr. Mercola, widespread reports exist of immediate illness defects from massive glyphosate spraying operations. In fact, Monsanto, Philip Morris and other U.S. tobacco giants knowingly poisoned Argentinean tobacco farmers with pesticides, reports Courthouse News Service, causing devastating birth defects in their children, dozens of workers claim in court. The Bt toxin used to engineer cotton and corn also kills human kidney cells, reports Dr Eva Sirinathsinghji, and the drift from aerial application of Roundup prompted the Mississippi Rice Council to sound a national alarm over genetic damage to natural rice, calling for severely restricted aerial application. Newly emergent pathogens have appeared, reports Dr. Don M. Huber, a plant pathologist who coordinates the Emergent Diseases and Pathogens committee of the American Phytopathological Society, as part of the USDA National Plant Disease Recovery System. Last year, his team discovered a self-replicating, micro-fungal virus-sized organism which may be causing spontaneous abortions in livestock, sudden death syndrome in Monsantos Roundup Ready soy, and wilt in Monsantos RR corn. Hubers warning to the USDA to halt GM crop approvals, and specifically, genetically modified alfalfa, was not only ignored, but two months ago, Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack hastened the approval process for genetically engineered crops. The new rules will cut the time needed to approve biotech crops in half, reports Dr. Mercola, from an average of three years, to about 13 months for new versions of already existing crop technologies, and about 16 months for brand new technologies. Obamas Global Agricultural Development plan conspires with multinational corporations to foist these ecological and human health costs onto the public while siphoning the profits. As Creighton says, Socialized costs, privatized profits. All in the name doing good and saving the people of Africa. Lets hope these public/private partnerships are met with firm resistance by African farmers, as supported by this Declaration from a group of African civil society organizations. The last thing Planet Earth and all its organisms need is more toxic industrial chemicals. cc Creative Commons.

RECENT REPORTS BY RADY ANANDA: 
1	Perplexed and disoriented as he accompanied WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Krusher Kovalev to the ring at the MGM Grand Garden Arena Saturday, local man Derek Hoff confirmed to reporters that he has absolutely no idea how he wound up in the boxers entourage. I was just sort of walking around outside the casino, and the next thing I know Im caught up in a big swarm of guys heading down to the ring, said the 43-year-old claims adjuster, adding that amid the flurry of lights and blaring music inside the arena, he was somehow outfitted in a sponsors T-shirt and then found himself holding a title belt over his head while walking behind Kovalev. Two minutes later, Im holding down the ropes with my foot while he climbs into the ring. I didnt really know what was happening, so I kind of just stood quietly in his corner until everyone else went to go sit ringside. According to sources, Hoff was equally confused immediately after the fight when he was given a handgun and guided into the back of a limousine bound for a nearby strip club. 
3	Do Vaccines Cause Autism?Canary Party The Canary Party presents a video narrated by actor Rob Schneider on the corrupt Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. It shows how the federal government and pharmaceutical companies continue to get away with claiming that vaccines dont cause autism in the face of mounting evidence that they are doing just that in a growing number of children. 
1	Stunned and dismayed that it will have no assistance in treating the serious mood disorder, the antidepressant Prozac cannot believe that it is being asked to fix this mess entirely on its own, sources said Wednesday. Im seriously supposed to go in there and turn around years of hopelessness without any backup whatsoever, said the exasperated twice-daily 10-milligram SSRI, adding it simply could not believe it would have no support from moderate exercise, a healthy diet, or a dedicated psychotherapy program. The plan is for me, all by myself, to do this without any aid from mature coping skills or a support system of loved onesis this what youre telling me? Oh, and let me guess, Im not gonna get an assist from a reasonable sleep schedule either. At press time, the drug was getting more help than it needed from alcohol. 
3	Kofi Annan: International Community Has Failed SyriaGlobalization exposed as self-serving, driven by elitist special interests. Whatever role the UNs Kofi Annan was playing, it appears that at least his latest statements have in fact been neutral, with the Western media taking it upon itself to then twist his comments out of context by constructing a fictitious narrative of mind-bending proportions. The London Guardian, in true propagandist form stated in an article titled, Kofi Annan attacks Russia and wests destructive competition over Syria, that Kofi Annan has issued a blunt warning that Syria will face a spreading civil war and risk a spillover of the conflict unless Russia, the west and Arab states end their destructive competition to force a ceasefire and launch a political process that the opposition insists must see President Bashar al-Assad step down. By mentioning Russia first and by presenting Syrian President Bashar al-Assads resignation as the only viable option to end the violence, the Guardian attempts to spin Annans comments as an attack on solely the Syrian government and its international supporters, which include Russia, China, and a large bloc of South American nations, collectively representing over a billion people. Image: Coincidence? As US State Department Secretary Hillary Clinton was attending a Friends of Syria conference in Paris to map out the next leg of violent Western-backed subversion against Damascus, US State Department-led Amnesty International staged a march in the streets of Paris featuring protesters carrying the old French colonial flag of Syria in support of NATOs militant proxies. Manufacturing public consensus where none exists is a specialty of modern Western imperialism. (Photo: AFP) Only toward the end of the Guardians article does it report the rest of Annans comments, which state, they [the west] accuse the Russians of arming the [Syrian] government. The Russians accuse them of arming the opposition and flooding the place with weapons. This is instead of coming together to see what can be done. The Guardian then admits that Saudi Arabia and Qatar are financing and arming NATOs proxies, the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA) while the US is coordinating with them and supplying them with communications equipment. The Guardian of course is not alone. This narrative is directed by the US State Department and the British Foreign Office and echoed throughout the Western corporate-media. The Washington Post likewise skewed reality and placed words into the mouth of Annan declaring that efforts for finding a peaceful political solution in Syria have failed. The Washington Post contradicts its own reportage, now claiming that no countries are known to be arming the FSA, when its own article, Syrian rebels get influx of arms with gulf neighbors money, U.S. coordination, clearly stated otherwise, clearly implicating both the Gulf States of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, as well as the United States itself. It is left to readers to determine whether the Washington Post is suffering from incompetent editors or is engaged in a campaign of fraudulent dissembling and war propaganda. The Washington Post then disingenuously cites the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, referring to it as an organization when in reality it is a single man, Rami Abdelrahman, living in England, who had left Syria 10 years ago and openly admits he seeks the downfall of Syrian President Assad. Abdelranhman is known to be directly coordinating his propaganda campaign with the British Foreign Office and has been photographed by Reuters skulking in and out of Foreign Secretary William Hagues office. Photo: From Reuters: Rami Abdelrahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, leaves the Foreign and Commonwealth Office after meeting Britains Foreign Secretary, William Hague, in central London November 21, 2011. REUTERS/Luke MacGregor Finally, the Washington Post cited a farcical march in Paris that coincided with the Friends of Syria conference a neo-imperial conglomeration of Western nations and their Gulf State proxies leading efforts to destabilize Syria through violent subversion. The Washington Post fails to mention that the march was in fact organized by Amnesty International, led by the US State Departments own Suzanne Nossel, and the US State Departments National Endowment for Democracy (NED) funded Federation for Human Rights (FIDH). FIDH is also funded by convicted criminal and Wall Street speculator George Soros Open Society Institute. What the Washington Post actually reported on was a staged march organized by members of the Friends of Syria conference itself to construct fictitious public consensus for the group and its taking a harder, more interventionist line against Syria. It may also serve as an attempt to further undermine the UN process that has effectively allowed Russia and China to block Western hegemonic ambitions verses Syria. NED and Open Societys role in supporting expanded intervention by the West to achieve its long sought after regime change indicates that it is not in fact any sort of international community that has engineered and supported the Wests agenda in Syria, but the special interests represented by NED and Open Society namely the corporate-financier interests of the Fortune 500. This same gambit has been used to one degree or another around the globe in an attempt to harness the perceived legitimacy of NGOs, the extensive propaganda network the Western press maintains, and the concepts of human rights, democracy, and freedom to couch ambitions of neo-imperial global hegemony. Since it is these special interests that masquerade as the international community, then indeed the international community has failed Syria since from the beginning it had every intention to mire Syria in sectarian violence, political destabilization, economic ruination, and eventual social and political collapse. Since 2007, this so-called international community has been conspiring against world peace, as duly noted in Seymour Hershs New Yorker article, The Redirection (2007). In it, it was clearly stated that the United States, Israel, and their Gulf State proxies, particularly Saudi Arabia, were already building an armed secular extremist frontwith which to wage violent subversion upon Lebanon, Syria, and Iran. From the US-engineered Arab Spring to the extremist violence that has ravaged Libya and now Syria, the West is executing a coordinated, premeditated military and political campaign to conquer by proxy a vast swath of territory extending from North Africa, through the Middle East, and into Central Asia. It is a geopolitical campaign that directly targets all sovereign nation states, and in particular Russia and China in what is only the latest in a long struggle throughout human history by megalomaniacs to establish uncontested global hegemony. As the ploys are overused, their effectiveness has begun to falter and the legitimacy of the Wests actions and role is now failing. What we are left with is an overt campaign of military aggression, in direct violation of world peace and any norm of international law, real or contrived. Globalization on all fronts has been exposed as a method for achieving the goals and aspirations not of humanity, but of a handful of elitist special interests at the expense of the vast majority. Identifying and exposing these interests is key, as is the establishment of genuine grassroots institutions and paradigms of and by the people to replace the faltering and self-serving institutions of globalization.

3	Road to Recovery: Ten Steps for the Constitution and LibertyBy Michael Boldin So I wont waste your time sharing more of the same. Is the situation hopeless? Absolutely not. But in order to actually turn things around, a few sacred cows need to be dealt with. Here are TEN STEPS you should take right now to set the stage for a dramatic Constitutional recovery. John Adams forcefully asserted that the American Revolution was not, in fact, the war for independence. The real American Revolution, Adams wrote, was a radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people. Its not just Obamacare that violates the Constitution. Its almost everything these people do, from telling you what size toilet you can have, to what kind of light bulb you can buy or what kind of plant you can grow and consume in your own backyard. Its their federal reserve, their wars, their executive orders, their regulations, their national security, and everything in between. Entire agencies ATF, DEA, TSA, and many others shouldnt even exist, much less do what they do. Even programs you like, or feel entitled to because theyve forced you to pay for them for years, are constitutional violations. If a company was suing you, would you hire one of that companys lawyers to represent you? If you and I had a dispute, would you want my girlfriend Sarah to decide whos right and whos wrong? No, federal judges absolutely cannot be impartial when it comes to federal power. Think rubber stamp. Massive violations of the Constitution have been happening under every president in modern times. Replacing one president with another has happened every 4-8 years for a long enough time to know that the next president is going to be really bad too. Guaranteed. And if that guarantee fails, the one after will be awful. Putting your constitutional eggs into one persons basket only ensures that the Constitution will end up totally smashed. No one in their right mind would see Lucky Luciano as a savior to the evils of Al Capone, or vice versa. Maybe you could convince one of your friends to do all the dirty work needed to rise up the ladder of the organization, so one day they would be in a place to reduce the harm it does to you personally. Maybe, but very unlikely. And even if you could, at the end of the day, a mob boss would still run the organization and would have you killed if needed. When you vote the bums out, you just get new bums. No further explanation necessary. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison both recognized that if the federal government ever became the sole and exclusive arbiter of the extent of its own power, that power would always grow, regardless of protests, lawsuits, or elections. They were right. Going to the federal government to fix problems created by the federal government doesnt work. Liberty is not a spectator sport. It takes action, sustained and persistent. Its time we all get out of our comfort zone, even if that means we risk something. Its for the future, and its worth it. We all need to be ready to do far more than what we are doing today. That includes committing to doing so incessantly until the job is done. Without being fully on board with these first nine steps, the tenth will almost certainly end in failure. You might find yourself distracted by the same old tricks theyve played on all of us for decades (think Bush vs Clinton). You are facing a federal government that lies to you, spies on you, and claims the power to lock you up indefinitely (that means forever) without any due process. They rip you off at every turn and give your money to the politically connected. They make up the rules as they go, and change them on a whim. They have absolutely no respect for the constitution or your liberty. They mean business. And that means you need to mean business too. These people only get away with this stuff as long as you continue to use their approved methods to stop them from oppressing you. James Madison, known as the Father of the Constitution, told us just what to do. There isnt a person alive today who knows more about the Constitution than he did, so his advice needs to be followed. Now. When enough people put Madisons advice into practice, theres not much that the federal government can do to force their unconstitutional acts, regulations and mandates down our throats. Are you in? Michael Boldin is the founder of the Tenth Amendment Centerwhere this article first appeared.Follow him on twitter @michaelboldin, on LinkedIn, and on Facebook.

2	What The Federal Court Just Ruled On Voter ID Is Bad News For Obama According to recent reports, a federal appeals court just ruled that a Wisconsin law requiring voters to provide photo identification is, in fact, constitutional. The American Civil Liberties Union and the Advancement Project have both opposed the law, petitioning the Supreme Court to interview. According to Fox News, state officials are moving forward with the law, which will be implemented in time for the November 4th midterm elections. According to the opposing organizations, the law disenfranchises poor and minority voters who may not have photo IDS. Supporters, on the other hand, maintain that there is still time to obtain photo identification if necessary. Conservatives also point to fraud as a reason to check IDs, given that fraudulent voting almost always falls in favor of Democrats. The law will allow anyone without a government-issued ID to cast a provisional ballot, but they will ultimately be required to provide photo ID to elections officials by 4 PM on the Friday following the election. If they fail to do so, their ballot will not be counted. What do you think? Do you support the new law? 
3	Virtual Economys Phantom Job Gains Are Based on Statistical FraudPaul Craig Roberts In his analysis of the June Labor Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, John Williams (www.ShadowStats.com) wrote that the 288,000 June jobs and 6.1% unemployment rate are far removed from common experience and underlying reality. Payrolls were overstated by massive, hidden shifts in seasonal adjustments, and the Birth-Death model added the usual phantom jobs. Williams reports that the seasonal factors are changed each and every month as part of the concurrent seasonal-adjustment process, which is tantamount to a fraud, as the changes in the seasonal factors can inflate the jobs number. The monthly unemployment rates are not comparable, so one doesnt know whether the official U.3 rate (the headline rate that the financial press reports) went up or down. Moreover, the rate does not count discouraged workers who, unable to find a job, cease looking. To be counted among the U.3 unemployed, the person must have actively looked for work during the four weeks prior to the survey. The U.3 rate automatically declines as people who have been unable to find jobs cease trying to find one and thereby cease to be counted as unemployed. There is a second official measure of unemployment that includes people who have been discouraged for less than one year. That rate, known as U.6, is seldom reported and is double the 6.1% rate. Since 1994 there has been no official measure than includes discouraged people who have not looked for a job for more than a year. Including all discouraged workers produces an unemployment rate that currently stands at 23.1%, almost four times the rate that the financial press reports. The decline in the employment-population ratio from 63% prior to the 2008 downturn to 59% today reflects the growth in discouraged workers. Indeed, the ratio has not recovered its previous level during the alleged recovery, an indication that the recovery is an illusion created by the understated measure of inflation that is used to deflate nominal GDP growth. Another indication that there has been no recovery is that Sentier Researchs index of real median household income continued to decline for two years after the alleged recovery began in June 2009. There has been a slight upturn in real median household income since June 2011, but income remains far below the pre-recession level. The Birth-Death model adds an average of 62,000 jobs to the reported payroll jobs numbers each month. This arbitrary boost to the payroll jobs numbers is in addition to the Bureau of Labor Statistics underlying assumption that unreported jobs lost to business failures are matched by unreported new jobs from new business startups, an assumption that does not well fit an economy that fell into recession and is unable to recover. John Williams concludes that in current BLS reporting, the aggregate average overstatement of employment change easily exceeds 200,000 jobs per month. In other words, the economy did not gain 288,000 new jobs last month. But lets assume the economy did gain 288,000 jobs and exam where the claimed jobs are reported to be. Of the alleged 288,000 new jobs, 16,000, or 5.5 percent are in manufacturing, which is not very promising for engineers and blue collar workers. Growth in goods producing jobs has almost disappeared from the US economy. As explained below, to alter this problem the government is going to change definitions in order to artificially inflate manufacturing jobs. In June private services account for 82 percent of the supposed new jobs. The jobs are found mainly in non-tradable domestic services that pay little and cannot be exported to help to close the large US trade deficit. Wholesale and retail trade account for 55,300 jobs. Do you believe sales are this strong when retailers are closing stores and when shopping malls are closing? Insurance (most likely the paperwork of Obamacare) contributed 8,500 jobs. As so few can purchase homes, real estate rental and leasing contributed 8,500 jobs. Professional and business services contributed 67,000 jobs, but 57% of these jobs were in employment services, temporary help services, and services to buildings and dwellings. That old standby, education and health services, accounted for 33,700 jobs consisting mainly of ambulatory health care services jobs and social assistance jobs of which three-quarters are in child day care services. The other old standby, waitresses and bartenders, gave us 32,800 jobs, and amusements, gambling, and recreation gave us 3,500 jobs. Local government, principally education, gave us 22,000 jobs. So, where are the jobs for university graduates? They are practically non-existent. Think of all the MBAs, but June had only 2,300 jobs for management of companies and enterprises. Think of the struggle to get into law and medical schools. Theres no job payoff. June had jobs for 1,200 in legal services, which includes receptionists and para-legals. Where are all the law school graduates finding jobs? Offices of physicians (mainly people who fill out the mandated paperwork and comply with all the regulations, which have multiplied under ObamaCare) hired 4,000 people. Outpatient care centers hired 700 people. Nursing care facilities hired 2,400 people. So where are the jobs for the medical school graduates? Aside from all the exaggerations in the jobs numbers of which ShadowStats.com has informed us, just taking the jobs as reported, what kind of economy do these jobs indicate: a superpower whose pretensions are to exercise hegemony over the world or an economy in which opportunities are disappearing and incomes are falling? Do you think that this jobs picture would be the same if the government in Washington cared about you instead of the mega-rich? Some interesting numbers can be calculated from table A.9 in the BLS press release. John Williams advises that the BLS is inconsistent in the methods it uses to tabulate the data in table A.9 and that the data is also afflicted by seasonal adjustment problems. However, as the unemployment rate and payroll jobs are reported regardless of their problems, we can also report the BLS finding that in June 523,000 full-time jobs disappeared and 800,000 part time jobs appeared. Americans are already experiencing difficulties making ends meet, despite the alleged recovery. If yet another half million Americans have been forced onto part-time pay with consequent loss of health care and other benefits, consumer demand is further compressed, with the consequence, unless hidden by statistical trickery, of a 2nd quarter negative GDP and thus officially the reappearance of recession. What will the government do if a recession cannot be hidden? If years of unprecedented money printing and Keynesian fiscal deficits have not brought recovery, what will bring recovery? How far down will US living standards fall for the 99% in order that the 1% can become ever more mega-rich while Washington wastes our diminishing substance exercising hegemony over the world? Just as Washington lied to you about Saddam Husseins weapons of mass destruction, Assads use of chemical weapons, Russian invasion of Ukraine, Waco, and any number of false flag or nonexistent attacks such as Tonkin Gulf, Washington lies to you about jobs and economic recovery. Dont believe the spin that you are unemployed because you are shiftless and prefer government handouts to work. The government does not want you to know that you are unemployed because the corporations offshored American jobs to foreigners and because economic policy only serves the oversized banks and the one percent. Just as the jobs and inflation numbers are rigged and the financial markets are rigged, the corrupt Obama regime is now planning to rig US manufacturing and trade statistics in order to bury all evidence of offshorings adverse impact on our economy. The federal governments Economic Classification Policy Committee has come up with a proposal to redefine fact as fantasy in order to hide offshorings contribution to the US trade deficit, artificially inflate the number of US manufacturing jobs, and redefine foreign-made manufactured products as US manufactured products. For example, Apple iPhones made in China and sold in Europe would be reported as a US export of manufactured goods. Read Ben Beachys important report on this blatant statistical fraud in CounterPunchs July 4th weekend edition: http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/07/04/we-didnt-offshore-manufacturing/ For years I have exposed the absurd claim that offshoring is merely the operation of free trade, and I have exposed the incompetent studies by such as Michael Porter at Harvard and Matthew Slaughter at Dartmouth that claimed to prove that the US was benefitting from offshoring its manufacturing. My book published in 2012 in Germany and in 2013 in the US, The Failure of Laissez Faire Capitalism and Economic Dissolution of the West, proves that offshoring has dismantled the ladders of upward mobility that made the US an opportunity society and is responsible for the decline in US economic growth. The lost jobs and decline in the middle class has contributed to the rise in income inequality, the destruction of tax base for cities and states, and loss of population in Americas once great manufacturing centers. For the most part economists have turned a blind eye. Economists serve the globalists. It pays them well. The corruption in present-day America is total. Psychologists and anthropologists serve war and torture. Economists serve globalism and US financial hegemony. Physicists and chemists serve the war industries. Physicists and computer geeks serve NSA. The media serves the government and the corporations. The political parties serve the six powerful private interest groups that rule the country. No one serves truth and liberty. I predict that within ten years truth and liberty will be forbidden words uttered only by domestic extremists who are a threat that must be exterminated without due process of law. America has left us. We now have the tyranny of the Orwellian state that rules, not by the ballot box and Constitution, but by force and propaganda.

3	15 Ways to Prep with Holiday LeftoversDaisy Luther One of the best things about holidays is getting together with family and having a huge feast. If you are of the frugal mindset, sometimes it can be overwhelming to spend all that money for just one meal. Instead of eating endless meals of leftovers until you never want to see another slice of ham as long as you live, try preserving those leftovers and adding them to your preps. You can then repurpose them and serve them in an entirely different way, eliminating food fatigue. There are 3 methods you can use to store your holiday leftovers: freezing, dehydrating and canning Nearly all leftovers can be successfully frozen and used in other meals. For Tess Penningtons guidelines on freezing food, clickHERE. Another way to preserve your leftovers is by dehydrating them. Whether you have a commercial dehydrator or you use your oven on a low setting, you can fill many jars with home-dried holiday leftovers. If youre new at dehydrating, you can find detailed instructions HERE. (Use this handyrehydration chart for bringing them back to life!) Canning Everyone knows that canning is my favorite way to preserve food. Ive included some links to specific instructions. How do you make the most of a big holiday feast?

1	Local authorities continue to search Gurnee's Great America theme park for a criminal dubbed 'The Six Flags Killer,' souvenir-laden police reported Monday. Police launch a search of the Yukon Territory. 'If you have any information that might lead to the capture of this vicious killer, please contact us immediately,' a button-covered Gurnee Police Captain Jack Moynihan said at a press conference held in Carousel Plaza. 'We have officers standing by on the Whizzer.' 'Oh,' Moynihan added. 'And if you know where to get one of those blinking hats we've been seeing around, let us know.' Police began their search on Aug. 26, when ride operator Zack Lipton, 16, found a decapitated body behind the Fiddler's Fling control booth. Two days later, the remains of Six Flags employee Cory Reader were found in the bushes at the perimeter of the Yukon Territory, still inside his Wile E. Coyote suit. Park-goers reported sightings of a blood-covered man in the vicinity of the crimes, leading police to believe that both murders were committed by the same 35- to 45-year-old Caucasian male. Police have been combing the attraction for clues, thoroughly investigating every ride, game, snack bar, gift shop, and photo-sticker booth. 'We started our search in Yukon Territory and fanned out to Yankee Harbor and Orleans Place,' Moynihan said. 'We've got a whole squad on the Sky Trek Tower. If anything suspicious happens, we'll be sure to see it from our vantage point on the bridge by Splash Water Falls.' 'I urge the public to cooperate with any officers forced to butt in line,' Moynihan added, as he shifted his grip on a three-foot-tall, plush Bugs Bunny. 'It's a lot of ground to cover in one day, as you all know.' Moynihan said his first priority is to ensure the safety of Great America employees and visitors. To that end, he has stationed an officer in the front car of every ride in the park. 'I have men working in shifts on rides, from 10 a.m. until the park closes at 8 p.m.,' Moynihan said. 'Officers from neighboring departments have volunteered to cover some of the more popular attractions, such as the American Eagle and Superman: Ultimate Flight.' Moynihan had to develop a unique system to oversee the patrol of a park as big and fun as Great America. 'We gather by the double-decker Columbia Carousel twice a day to compare notes, discuss leads, and eat funnel cakes,' Moynihan said. 'We also keep in constant radio contact with one another. Instead of the usual 'all clear,' we've been using an updated, site-specific check-in.' When pressed, Moynihan said, 'The check-in signal is 'Wheeeeee!'' A police sketch of the suspected 'Six Flags Killer.' Looking for a killer in a theme park has created its share of problems, Moynihan admitted. 'The crowds, the noise, and the overall jovial atmosphere have been distracting,' Moynihan said. 'We've limited our searches to weekdays, because on weekends, the lines here are nutso.' Cost has also hindered the daily patrols. The city of Gurnee bought season passes for 50 police officers, but the admission fee is far from the only expense the department incurs. 'We've been trying to stay within a budget,' Moynihan said. 'You'd think that once you paid admission, you'd be covered. But then there's parking, souvenirs, and game tickets. And food here is outrageous. Ten dollars for a burger and a Coke? If we didn't have to keep a constant presence in the park, our officers never knowing when or where the killer might strike next, we'd probably bring a cooler full of sandwiches and eat in the parking lot.' Moynihan said he hopes for a break in the case before the end of the season, but is willing to personally supervise the investigation through the Six Flags' Fright Fest, which begins Oct. 11. 'As adventure-filled as this investigation has been, we can't focus all of our man power on Great America,' Moynihan said. 'By now, the killer could be as far away as Magic Mountain.' Moynihan ended the press conference with an ultimatum, which was later broadcast over the park's public-address system. 'You will not get away with this,' said Moynihan, shaking a fistful of cotton candy at the still-at-large assailant. 'We will find you if we have to fingerprint every Skee-Lo game in the park.'

3	The End of Oppression - Part 1: The ProblemJosie Outlaw 
3	Chinas Stock Market Just Crashed in the Most Predictable WayBy Joshua Krause But by early July, their value had plummeted by a whopping 30% in a very short time frame. The Chinese government stepped in with several market controls to stabilize their stocks, which actually succeeded for a while. The government worked with several top financial firms to buy $20 billion in stocks, and over 1,400 companies were allowed to suspend the trading of their shares, among many other measures. However, they just found out the hard way, that you cant really plug a sinking ship. Chinese equities have suffered the sharpest one-day crash in eight years, sending powerful tremors through global commodity markets and smashing currencies across East Asia, Latin America and Africa. The Shanghai Composite index fell 8.5pc despite emergency measures to shore up the market, with a roster of the biggest blue-chip companies down by the maximum daily limit of 10pc. The mood was further soured by news that corporated profits in China are now contracting in absolute terms, falling 0.3pc over the past year. The violence of the moves unnerved investors worldwide, stirring fears that the Communist Party may be losing control after stoking a series of epic bubbles in property, corporate investment and equities to keep up the blistering pace of economic growth. In all honesty, this was entirely predictable. I described how well this strategy would work on July 7th when the Communist party first decided to dump money into their stock market, in the hopes that this would stop its precipitous decline. Whats worse, is how financial institutions in China are reacting to the healthy dose of realism that their stock market so desperately needed. The countrys top stock brokerages decided to collectively buy almost $20 billion in stocks to help stabilize the market, part of which was supplied by the government. You might recognize this as the award winning strategy that was employed by several top financial firms in the US, just after the market crash of 1929. The Great Depression quickly followed. Of course, anyone could have predicted that. While a depression has yet to develop in China, their stocks are falling despite the best efforts of their government and other major financial institutions (which are really just an extension of the Communist Party). There is a clear historical precedent for this sort of thing. Once a bubble pops, pumping more air into it will never blow it back up. The best you can do is blow more bubbles into other sectors of the economy, which is exactly what China has been doing for years to stave off a genuine correction in their markets. You might notice that this is the same strategy employed by Americas financial elite. Weve managed to keep our economy afloat for decades by bouncing from one economic bubble to the next, accumulating more and more debt along the way. But at the end of the day, that cant work forever. There needs to be a correction at some point, and the longer they wait, the worse it will be when it finally comes crashing down. And that day seems to be long overdue for the likes of China, the US, and the rest of the world. Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple.

2	Reba McEntire Shocks The World With A Heartbreaking Announcement In an interview earlier this week, Reba McEntire opened up about the story behind her song, Just Like Them Horses, and boy, was it emotional. When my producer Tony Brown heard it [Just Like Them Horses], he loved it so much, that he insisted on putting it on the album. It made both the album and Daddys funeral. I got the idea for the video one day and knew it was going to be the most meaningful heartfelt video Id ever do. We shot the entire video in Chockie, OK on the McEntire home-place. Those old hills mean a lot to me. I lived there 21 years and they still call me back time after time. This is a song about goodbye, closure and letting go. Mama had to be in the video. She was and still is the glue to our family. Without a doubt, the ranch wouldnt be what it is today without her. She was the partner, bookkeeper, #1 hired hand, cook, my best friend and as I said, the glue. So many times things could have gone south but she held us all together. I dedicate this video to Daddy. His life was horses, cattle, land, rodeo and business. Daddy did a lot of traveling in his life. When he wasnt rodeoing or buying cattle, he was working hard on the ranch. I took him to Europe and Australia. On one of those trips he said, If I ever get home, Im not gonna go past the mail box. My favorite line of the song is, Just like them horses, now its time to run. He did. He ran all the way to heaven. Just like them horses. Reba grew up with two things close to her: Family and music. To hear her completely open up is truly amazing. Are you a fan of Reba McEntire? 
1	With neither team having completed more than two hits during a rally before sending the ball back over the net, sources confirmed Wednesday that no one in Jefferson High Schools third-period gym class was willing to set during a volleyball game. If the ball comes to me, I dont care where I am on the court or whos around meIm either spiking it or bumping it really high into the air, said sophomore Elliot Wahl, echoing the sentiments of every one of his classmates, none of whom had set a single ball for a teammate at any point during the 45-minute game. I basically just want to be right at the net so I can jump up and smash it as hard as I can. Thats all I want to do right now. At press time, teams had rotated positions for the third consecutive time after another student attempted an acrobatic jump serve and slammed the ball directly into the net. 
1	The justices of the United States Supreme Court confirmed this week that although he has been on the job less than a year, their new agent, Rory McCleft, has already started to help the nine-member panel land more high-profile cases. Early in its 20112012 term, the nations highest court reportedly began to voice dissatisfaction with longtime agent Jeffrey Muslin, who many justices felt had lost sight of their jurisprudential interests, in particular failing to get them access to cream of the crop immigration, health care, intellectual property, and search-and-seizure cases. The truth is, we never would have gotten a case like National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius with Jeff, said Chief Justice John Roberts, referring to the recent landmark decision upholding the individual mandate of the Affordable Care Act. But Rory was all over it. He burned through his Rolodex, called in every favor he had, and made the deal happen. He justhe gets it, you know? Roberts continued. Rorys always got his ear to the ground for any circuit court cases that might play to our strengths as a group. He understands what were about, and hes very hands-on and curious about what were trying to do. He came into the room and just asked us flat out, Where do you want to go as a court? What kind of cases do you want? Gun control? You got it. Abortion? Lets do it. It was so refreshing after all those years where it felt like we were just treading water. McCleft has promised the justices they are his top client. According to legal experts, McCleft, a senior partner at Taggart, Stanley & McCleft Representatives and a rising star in judicial talent management, has in a few short years in the business built up an impressive client roster that includes numerous federal district courts, state appellate courts, and even a handful of military tribunals. Sources said the Supreme Court justices often became frustrated with their former agent when he seemed to place greater priority on his other top client, the New Jersey Superior Court. Their rancor came to a head when Muslin booked Englewood Boat Basin et al. vs. Quartello and Quartello for the New Jersey judges. Any case with substance, his precious Superior Court in Jersey always got the first call, Justice Anthony Kennedy said. Thats a talented court, no question, but their success kind of came at the expense of our own, you know? Jeffs a sweet guy, and I respect him, but toward the end there it seemed like we were doing all the heavy lifting just to keep our name out there. Seriously, we had to bring Citizens United to his attention. Can you imagine? At that point its like, what are we even paying this guy for? Kennedy added. We just felt it was time to move on. The Supreme Court has had its share of notable agents over the years, including the legendary Saul Rosen, whose savvy negotiations were credited with making the Warren Court the most powerful in Beltway history, and the notorious Frank Tanner, whose backroom dealings allowed the Rehnquist Court to become the first ever to decide an American presidential election. Given the courts infamously rigorous demands, McCleft is expected to have his work cut out for him. Were hands-down the most talented judicial body in the nation, and theres no reason we shouldnt be landing the top-tier shit, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said. I cant tell you how much it stings to pick up the paper in the morning and read about the Ninth Circuit making some groundbreaking ruling, while were all sitting around with our dicks in our hands. All Rory needs to do is get us in the door on those cases. Pitch it to us, well knock it out of the fucking park. Although McClefts compensation remains undisclosed, it is assumed he will be given the industry standard rate of 10 percent of all court cases to decide for himself.

1	Numerous internet users reported feeling extremely misled Monday by a news websites headline, Lobsterman Safe After Being Pulled From Ocean, noting that the associated article contained neither images nor a detailed description of the promised aquatic Lobsterman creature. I dont understandthe guy in the picture just looks like a regular person, a visibly disappointed Josh Huber, 29, told reporters after clicking on a link to the article with the expectation that he would be shown photographs of a large half-human, half-crustacean hybrid that had been captured. I thought hed have some big claws and a tail, maybe antennae or something. I guess I knew he probably wouldnt have an exoskeleton or anything like that, but I figured he would at least be red, and I definitely thought he would be at least a 6-foot-tall lobster with a human head that speaks like a person. What gives? As of press time, Huber was mulling over the possibility that the man in the photo might be the one who caught the Lobsterman.

3	MARS, Maker of MMs, SNICKERS to Label Products With GMO Ingredients Nationwide for Vermont LawBy Baran Hines The decision comes at a time when GMO policy is in focus for the 2016 election season. Last week, the U.S. Senate voted 48-49 against a bill that would have blocked states from making their own GMO labeling laws. Senate Bill 2609, the Biotech Labeling Solutions Act has been called the DARK Act, an acronym for Deny Americans the Right to Know. The biotech industry has worked with processed food companies to fund multiple initiatives in response to Vermonts law including the Coalition for Safe Affordable Food (CFSAF) which is in support of the bill in Congress to ban state GMO labeling laws. CFSAF has been lobbying for a common-sense proposal immediately that creates a uniform, national food labeling standard, but seeks policy in favor of voluntary GMO labeling while excluding state laws. CFSAF has been running video commercials on YouTube and website ads featuring farmers and Senators calling for more favorable GMO policy. The ads often claim that farmers and families would be hurt by mandatory GMO label laws. CFSAFs website states that families may end up paying more than $1000 extra annually for food because of state GMO labeling laws. Another processed food industry group lobbying for similar legislation is the Grocery Manufacturers Association, which has challenged Vermonts law in federal court. In 2012, California voters could not pass Prop 37, a ballot measure that would have required labels for GMO. Monsanto and other major food companies spent almost $30 million to defeat the initiative. STATEMENT FROM MARS COMPANY Mars Position on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) Mars, Incorporated has two overriding concerns: to manufacture and sell products that meet the highest standards of quality and food safety; and to satisfy our consumers needs. All the ingredients we use in our products comply with our own strict internal quality and safety requirements as well as all applicable laws and regulations. AIn addition, because we depend on our consumers for our success, we seek to understand their needs. In this way we aim to deliver products that match the different tastes, preferences and perceptions of consumers in different parts of the world. s a result, our business units throughout the world make decisions about the ingredients used in the products they sell, based on the expectations of consumers in their region and the availability of ingredients. Mars Position on GMO Labeling in the U.S. At Mars, we not only ensure the safety of all raw materials in our products, were also committed to being transparent with our consumers so they can understand whats in the products they love. In 2014, the state of Vermont passed a mandatory genetically modified (GM) ingredient labeling law that requires most human food products containing GM ingredients to include on-pack labeling as of July 2016. To comply with that law, Mars is introducing clear, on-pack labeling on our products that contain GM ingredients nationwide. We firmly believe GM ingredients are safe. Food developed through biotechnology has been studied extensively and judged safe by a broad range of regulatory agencies, scientists, health professionals, and other experts around the world. Baran Hines writes for selfnewsPost.com. He is the founder of WTFRLY.com, where you can read more of his work. This article may be reposted in part or in full with author attribution and source link. See one little guy can fight City Hall!! Thank you Vermont!!! /;-D Well lets hope that all of the food companies follow suite and label their products with any and all GMOs that they may contain.And lets hope they do it honestly and list everything and are not paid off by Monsanto to fudge the package as free of GMOs. I hope enough people wise up to what they are consuming when they ingest GMOs and the overall healty risk they put themselves at.You have to ask yourself if Monsantos goes out of the way to hide this labeling of food then what is their motive in doing so.Profit is number one for sure.But there is all so the fact that GMOs change DNA and not for the better.They make people sick and that leads to more profits by big Pharma.If Monsanto has it way they will buy up every seed company and then they will be offering only Modified seeds.No longer will you have open pollinated seeds or heirloom. Thats so true, friend. This is a serious issue, because they killing our children. And that is worth fighting for. What these cockroaches do is unforgivable imo. Its time to seek some justice for the crap we are putting up with from our coward puppet politicians, too! 6.9 million youths are now infertilecoincidence mabeydoubt it though If we can prove GMOs are hurting people, we can sue the crap out of Monsanto and anyone else involved. Millions of lawsuits will bankrupt the company, right or wrong? Well, in a perfect world you would be right. However, we are now being sold out by our world leaders who are in the business of protecting these big industry mongrels. Have you noticed new laws coming through on a regular basis that tend to prevent us from having a voice? Heavy fines and even imprisonment are being used to prevent us from protesting even the most pressing issues now. Also, once they defeat you in court they pass the legal costs on to you. All these examples happened recently in my home city! Our governments have no interest in supporting us now Im afraid. That ship sailed a long, long time ago Thanks for bursting my bubble But you are right. I hate bursting bubbles, Grandma! I feel you will be ok though. Have a happy easter and enjoy everything you have. Happy Easter to you and yours. May God Bless. One small step on the road to sanity. And why not! I only buy food that is labeled NON GMO, Organic and certified or locally grown. Also take the time to read ingredients on all packages as for the rest of this crap I would not eat it anyway Unfortunately we are in the minority. If Monsatan was not so worried about us making the connection between their food illness they would not have fought so hard to prevent labeling. The sad part is most folks STILL dont know [or care] about GMO. If they had been smart they would have labeled it from the beginning continued to promote it. Most of the sheeple never read the labels anyway those who do would have believed the hype. Kind of like the fools who go out buy fluoridated infant water. Powdered formula already has .3ppm of F in it. Add to that the .7ppm in F water and you are overdosing an infant to the point where they will have lowered IQ, acid reflux,rashes, brittle bones teeth, kidney problems more. .7ppm is the dose for a 200lb man not an 8lb infant. Of course that does not take into account the F exposure you will get from food, juice, tea, alcoholic beverages,air pollution and pharmaceutical drugs. Go to http://www.slweb.org and click on the FTRC link for 300+drugs to avoid. Fluoride is a CUMULATIVE poison and a catalyst that combines with other toxins locks them up in your body. http://www.fluoridealert.org. Honestly, how does it make one feel when you realise that our childrens safety and health are at serious risk? I buy from local markets but even the crops here have been destroyed because local farmer got into bed with GMO. Destroyed the organic farms in the area! We dont know what we are eating now. the word ORGANIC is used very loosley now too! No where in the Mars statement do they directly state that their products are GMO free or identify a an available listing of which ingredients for the products are or arent GMO. The labeling requirements of Vermont are a step in the right direction but what is really needed is a complete ban of any food with any GMO ingredients. The same should apply to cell phones, wi-fi units and smart meters and all other EMF emitting technologies and of course we need to get the poisonous elements out of other processes and products that continually assault US like vaccines and chemtrails, and fracking. The states can nullify the federal government, states can remove the charters of corporations and states can make their own currency. Id be the last person to say give up but this has been going on longer than most of us realize. Is it too late? I look up in the sky and start to feel sick thinking about the poisons my body might be taking in,eyes, skin and lungs. I feel for my children and grand children. Is there a future for them. The good companies label their products as organic and gmo free. Chipottle has been attacked ever since they said they were going organic. na na na Monsanto must die along with its employees. 
3	New Study Quantifies U.S. Fascism Nearly Half of All Retired Congress Members Become LobbyistsBy Jay Syrmopoulos Three political scientists have tracked data all the way back to 1976 to analyze the lobbying activity of former members of Congress in an eye-openingnew study. The results of the study, Who walks through the revolving door? Examining the lobbying activity of former members of Congress, appearing in the journal Interest Groups Advocacy, make clear that there has been a substantial increase in the number of members becoming lobbyists after retirement. The data indicates that in the 1970s and 80s it was extremely rare for Congress members to go on to become lobbyists, as the pay-for-play lobbying system of today was virtually non-existent. In the 1990s, corporate America became particularly skilled at bending the will of the state away from actually representing the people and towards their own nuanced positions through the use of lobbyists otherwise known as fascism or corporatism. Today, there is a reported $3.2 billion dollars-per-year spent on lobbying activity, with estimates that there is actually closer to double that amount spend, as only registered lobbyists activities are disclosed. Congress passed the Lobbying Disclosure Act in 1995 to provide more accountability and transparency, because prior to the legislation being passed the rules for registration as a lobbyist were even more lax. Even after the Lobbying Disclosure Act, many former Congress members simply choose not to register, such as former Sen. Tom Daschle (D-SD), but continue to engage in work virtually identical to that of a registered lobbyist. Here are some other interesting findings contained within the study: Retiring members are more likely to become lobbyists if they were party or committee leaders, or they were on the powerful Ways and Means Committee in the House or the Senate Finance Committee (which have authority over tax and trade policy always popular lobbying issues). This is especially true for House members. Backbenchers are less likely to become lobbyists. Democrats and Republicans were equally likely to go on to become lobbyists. Very conservative Republicans were less likely to become lobbyists than moderate Republicans. Most retiring members (78 percent in the House, and 87 percent in the Senate) who became lobbyists went to lobbying firms that represent multiple clients, rather than going in house at a company, association or other group. This makes sense, since former members generally specialize in access, which they can then sell to multiple clients. The logic behind having former Congress members on staff at a lobbying firm is simply to allow for greater access to the internal workings of government, as these people are intimately connected within the corridors of power. The revolving door from Congress to K Street gives influence to large corporations that can afford the considerable sums of money required by the former Congress members, evidenced by the fact that for every $1 spent by public interest groups and unions, corporations spent $34. These dynamics only serve to contribute to an even greater imbalance of representation in Washington, D.C. The select few with money and influence are allowed even greater access to U.S. lawmakers, while the majority of America is left virtually powerless to affect change. Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea you have freedom of choice. You dont. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land, they own and control the corporations thatve long since bought and paid for, the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pocket, and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and the information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else. But Ill tell you what they dont want. They dont want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They dont want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking.

I only have one question. Since the media describes government theft and corruption as waste and inefficiency, whose bank account is the waste and inefficiency deposited? We are so screwed! This group of criminals passed the Stock Act, which forbade using insider info from committee hearings to profit from. Then a few months later, they reversed the sanctions on a rider bill, and thus made it OK to profit from insider info. What would you call that? I call it the standard, treasonous behavior of members of congress. It acquires wealth for the treasonists, which they will not have access to when the U.S. system fails, and will certainly not accompany them in death. First of all, I think it is ludicrous to say that members of Congress retire to become lobbyists. They ARE lobbyists the day they change the office curtains after election. Their first official function is to form a re-election committee for fund-raisers. Their re-election activities could be a continuation of the activities that led to their election. Per former congress-woman, Cynthia McKinney, among their first activities is to write a paragraph pledging 1st allegiance to Israel instead of the U.S. to turn over to an AIPAC representative. If they do not, AIPAC uses its American $$ to either remove them from office or defeat them at the next election. Defeating at the subsequent election was used in Georgia to defeat congress-woman McKinney at the subsequent election. The prostitutes are certainly not worth their exhorbitant costs, either !

2	Melania Trump DESTROYS Rosie ODonnell In A Way No One Ever Expected [VIDEO] According to reports from TMZ, Melania Trump has threatened to sue the YouTuber who posted a video claiming her 10-year-old son, Barron Trump, suffers from autism. The tasteless video was first brought to attention by Rosie ODonnell, who has been publicly feuding with Donald Trump, posted it on Twitter with an even more despicable caption. Melania was understandably furious about the attack on her son. Her attorney Charles J. Harder quickly released a letter threatening to sue whoever is behind the video. The video allegedly seeks to stop the bullying of Barron Trump, Harder wrote in his statement. Not trueThe video did instigate further bullying by Rosie ODonnell and others. Daily Mail reported that James Hunter has been exposed as the person created the videobut he still insists he only did it to protect the future first son. Id be really sad if Ive made the situation worse because I never couldve imagined the video would get so much press, Hunter told reporters. I was just sending it privately to people who were bullying him to explain to them that Barron might be autistic and that it isnt okay to bully him for it because I know what its like to be bullied for being autistic. But then Rosie ODonnell shared it and it blew up. I myself am on the spectrum, Hunter continued, and I honestly just wanted to bring light to the autism epidemic. I have a lot of respect for Melania Trump. I believe shes very smart and I think shell be a great First Lady. Rosie also received immense backlash for dragging a child into her pathetic feud. She was repeatedly scolded by parents with children on the autism spectrum. What do you think? Does Rosie owe the entire Trump family an apology? Should charges be pressed against both Hunter and her?

3	Company Claims That Brain Transplants Could Bring Back the Dead by 2045By Nicholas West Ray Kurzweil popularized the notion of The Singularity the threshold when computing power would match or exceed the human brain and human biological systems in his 2006 book The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology. In that book, and subsequent articles, he theorized that 2045 would be the far end of when we could expect full integration of human and machine that would create immortality. So far there have been indications that we are indeed proceeding in this direction. Beyond the gadgets we all use to augment our intelligence, each day seems to offer a new medical development that reads more like science fiction than reality. Just the other day there was an article in The Seattle Times that a new type of flexible brain implant could enable the paralyzed to walk again. We have robotic prostheses, humanoid robots, artificial human skin, and a range of nanotechnology applications used in medicine and the military that are quickly redefining life and nature itself. In fact, its been proclaimed by scientists that the era of cyborgs has begun. Here are just a few of the articles that have sounded outlandish to those unfamiliar with the advancements being made which put into context what some factions of science are reaching for by 2045. While immortality is often laughed off as manifestly impossible and/or never to be desired, the quest for immortality has been with the human race since its inception; anyone who maintains their health or has a medical procedure in order to extend their own life, or those whose faith incorporates a life everlasting engages in this pursuit. Now that recent advances make it a near-term likelihood, however, the ethical debates are ramping up. A new artificial intelligence company called HUMAI is pursuing two avenues to usher in immortality: cryonics, which is the science of deep-freezing the brain to preserve it for transplant into another living vessel; and the even more radical notion of extracting a still-living brain and putting it into a robotic body before the brain can die naturally. From their website: We want to transplant your brain into an elegantly designed bionic body called Humai. Your Humai will use a brain-computer interface to communicate with the sensory organs and limbs of your bionic body. Artificial intelligence will be integrated into synthetic organs, so they can operate independently. Sensor technology will allow you to feel the essence of human experience. As your brain matures, genetic engineering will help fight the aging process, while advancements in nanotechnology will offer extensive tissue repair and regeneration, including the repair of individual brain cells, one molecule at a time. Nothing stated above is not already a success in the laboratory, or being worked on extensively under multi-billion dollar government projects like the US BRAIN Initiative, or the European Human Brain Project. The following TEDx video outlines other paths that could see us transcend biology: The problem of immortality actually might not be how to get there, but what happens after. Aside from the complications of redefining consciousness, religion, and philosophy, there are some practical matters to consider. For example, Dr. Rebecca Roache and her research team at Oxford apparently seek to correct the inadequacies of criminal sentencing applied to the most heinous acts. Dr. Roache penned an article titled, Enhanced punishment: can technology make life sentences longer? This ethicist goes on to argue for the wonderful opportunities immortality could provide for making the condemned suffer eternally right here on planet Earth seriously. This at least should illustrate why there needs to be open debate taking place as rapidly as possible for what type of world awaits us if immortality is truly on the horizon. Whether or not immortality is ever finally achieved, it should be evident that there are people at the highest levels of influence and power who are preparing for the strong possibility that it will happen soon. Are you? Image Credit Nicholas West writes for selfnewsPost.com. This article may be freely shared with author attribution and source link. You will be assimilated by the Borg. Science vs Salvation with Jesus Christ. No contest! First, lets be clear: The Christian notion of eternal life has nothing whatsoever to do with living on earth forever as some unholy half-man-half-machine. Thats just shockingly ignorant. Second, I predict that the abysmal failure of this project will be the final nail in the coffin of materialist epistemology. Life is not what fools like Kurzweil think it is. We are not mere material biological machines (at least not in the same way that robots are mechanical or electrical machines). What these fools need to understand is that no one has the first clue as to what consciousness is, or what the spark of life is, or where in the material world it is to be found, or how the inanimate can be made animate. Besides, the moment you replace your physicality with something else, you run the risk that you will cease to exist as you were. You will no longer be you. Think about it for a moment and you will know it is true. If you have no fear of death; if this is no longer an inevitable reality for you or others like you, would you live your life in the same way? Would you treat others the same. Would you have the same concerns, hopes, and fears? People like Roache et. al, if what is reported is true, are true monsters. I would much rather die than live to fulfill her sadistic pleasures, as I have little doudt her victims would. Good comment Doc Frankenstein did this in 1818. Plus we dont need to bring back anyone from the dead. That is pure craziness! Let em RIP as their spirit moves on to where ever they are judged to go. Too many people now on the stressed planet, younger people get older and cycle will repeat. The environment can only hold so many people and we dont want to end up living shoulder to shoulder like in some cities. Traffic grid is getting worse all over. Look at China and other places, pollution and smog so bad kids cant play outdoors, and people cant see to drive-nightmare!. No, I am not an environmental activist either. Call it common sense. Were not here to jam-pack the planet. Were here to go. To the stars. But only if were mature enough to leave some of our old traits behind. Times a-wasting! Seek ye not that which men can give unto thee, but that which will be everlastingly yours; having been earned and not received as a gift. John 6: There is no god, no jesus, no holy spirit, It is all made up. Think for your self, read your holy book and ask real questions. Does the bible support slavery? Yes, in both the new and old testament. Did god just make a bet with satan to destroy and torture someone who loved him and worshiped him just for the EFF of it (Job). Who is worse, god or satan? Who has killed more people, god or satan? Do you believe that everything that god does is righteous so he cannot be guilty of murdered (First born of Egypt, The flood, Jobs sons etc). What about rape, did god rape someone (Mary). The god of the bible raped Mary and impregnated her with him self which made him (jesus/god) a B@st@rd. Gods do not exist and when you finally free your mind of such trappings you will experience your own personal renaissance, a level of freedom that you did not know existed. Best of all, without some invisible sky daddy watching over you 24/7, you will discover the real you. You no longer get your morals from some mixed up god and it feels so good to do real good in your own name. Do your self a favor and put down the story book, you deserve better than what religion has to offer. I Am The brain is not the mind or being of a person it is just an organ. Most likely the brain transplant will give the body and the person that body belongs to new brain. The brain donor will be just dead. so does this mean the end of cold days simply trun up the internal thermostat no need for food. of course no babies. Dawgonit! Take away making babies an life jest aint fun no more. Only stupid people afraid of death would buy into this.

2	Heroic Mother Cara Combs Saves Baby In Heroic Sacrifice Of Life Cara Walters Combs a couple months pregnant when she received horrible news. She had stage 4 melanoma. Cara had a choice to make. She could treat her melanoma, which would risk the life of her baby, or try to survive until the pregnancy was at a viable stage. She bravely chose the latter. Caras baby was born on Dec. 5th, weighing only two pounds. 3 days later, Cara passed away. Many would not be so brave as Cara. Heck, liberals might even argue that killing the baby isnt wrong. Cara Combs was selfless, amazing woman. Please pray for her family, who is undoubtedly in pain without her. And pray for the health of her baby, who she gave her life for. RIP Cara Combs.

The decision sparked a controversial debate on social media. Sheriff Murray Blackwelder claims that he decided to put the In God We Trust stickers on the police vehicles because the department doesnt discriminate who they help based on religion. He insists he can still have a Christian message on his cruisers, without violating the separation of church and state. We dont ask you your religion when you call 911, we dont ask you your religion when we pull you over, the law is the law and thats what were here to enforce, Blackwelder commented. We do have faith, we have faith that were going to be OK, that youre going to be OK. It makes sense. These men are putting their lives on the line to protect us. They deserve the right to show their gratitude to God. Do you agree?

2	Liberals Are Going After Taya Kyle Because Of This Controversial Decision Taya Kyle, wife of American Sniper Chris Kyle is facing accusations that she is not honoring the wishes of her late husband. According to reports, when Kyle wrote the book American Sniper, he refused to collect any profits, deeming any money he would receive blood money. Instead, Kyle chose to donate proceeds to the families of fallen soldiers. I was speechless, overwhelmed and in tears, Debbie Lee, mother of soldier Marc Lee told the crowd at Kyles funeral. Chris didnt publish that book for an income or to be famous. He hated the spotlight. Chris did that for his teammates. Now, the American Sniper franchise has brought in profits of over $6 million. According to reports, Taya has started collecting some of the money from her husbands legacy. She has not paid either of the families Chris chose to honor with the first proceeds. Experts say the families have a very weak legal case. Whether Taya has a moral obligation is a whole different story, claims Laura Zwicker, a Los Angeles attorney. Legally, all of the assets of the estate, including his intellectual property, would pass to her as his beneficiary. Supporters of Taya argue that the widow is just looking out for her own family, now that she is alone in supporting them. Not to mention, she owes over $1 million to Jesse Ventura after losing the lawsuit he brought against the family. What do you think? Do you support Taya?

3	CDC Whistleblower: This Is the Real Smoking GunJon Rappoport He and his co-authors had published a 2004 study claiming there was no MMR-vaccine connection to autism. They had omitted vital data which contradicted that finding. The MMR vaccine was causing autism. Thompson knew it. So did his co-authors. They buried that chilling fact. In Thompsons confession, released through his Cincinnati attorney, Rick Morgan, Thompson asserted that he would work with Congress, but he wouldnt speak to reporters. Why not? Two reasons immediately spring to mind. Thompson made a deal with the CDC, where he is still employed. He would aid in the current media blackout, thus trying to preserve the reputation of his bosses. In return, the CDC wouldnt take any number of possible actions against him, the lightest of which would be suspension. Two, by avoiding reporters, Thompson side-steps very unpleasant confrontationsif those reporters arent corporate androids. For example: what degree of guilt does Thompson really feel? By hiding the MMR-vaccine connection, he contributed to large numbers of children taking the vaccine and incurring brain damageover the past 10 years. How exactly did Thompson and his 2004 co-authors,two of whom are also major CDC executives, come to hide and bury the vital data? What were those criminal conversations like? How was the cover-up actually achieved? Who else at the CDC was involved? In particular, what role did Julie Gerberding, head of the CDC (2002-2009) play? Thompson sent a letter to Gerberding on February 2, 2004, a week before a major meeting on vaccine-autism issues. Mike Adams of naturalnews.com released that letter. In it, Thompson writes that he will be presenting the summary of our results from the Metropolitan Atlanta Autism Case-Control Study [and]I will have to present several problematic results relating to statistical associations between the receipt of MMR vaccine and autism. Thompson is referring to the data which we now know were the basis of the 2004 study that embodied fraud and cover-up. So Gerberding, the head of the CDC, knew there were problems. She knew Thompson was telling her there was a causal connection between the MMR vaccine and autism. Thats what Thompson meant when he wrote to her: problematic results relating to statistical associations between the receipt of MMR vaccine and autism. Gerberding is now president of Merck Vaccines. Do you know what vaccine Merck manufactures? The MMR. The vaccine which was let off the hook and given a free pass in 2004. The vaccine which, Thompson and his co-authors concluded committing fraudhad no connection to autism. Julie Gerberding. Former head of the CDC. The behind-the-scenes key figure in a scandal that could blow up the CDC. Gerberding knew. She knows. She now heads up the company that makes and sells the MMR vaccine.

2	Newspaper Is Being Attacked By The White House After Printing THIS Picture Of The Obamas According to recent reports, a Belgian newspaper in under fire after printing a picture that is being deemed racist by the public. The photo, which was printed by De Morgan, shows the Obama couple in a clearly photo shopped image that makes it appear that they are still in the process of evolving from chimpanzees to humans. The photo was met with such controversy that the paper was forced to give a public apology. According to reports, the photo was taken as a racial statement, which the paper strongly claims it was never intended to be. Instead, De Morgan claims that the joke was supposed to be that Vladimir Putin had sent in the picture himself. In this case, we plead guilty of bad taste, the newspaper claimed in their apology. We continue to be on the side of those that are battling any form of racism. What do you think of the image? Did the newspaper take things too far or is the image being criticized out of context? 
1	The entire world population confirmed Friday that Houston Rockets center Yao Ming is the greatest athlete in the history of sports and a glowing symbol of what hardworking citizens may become if they remain loyal to their government. Yao Ming officially averages 84 points per basketball game and has a shooting percentage of .9999998, Chinese basketball officials said. Furthermore, Yao Ming is perfectly healthy and, in fact, cannot be injured. Yao Ming is also a universally acknowledged beacon of humility and respect, and on the exceedingly rare occasion when he does miss a shot, he no doubt does so on purpose, selflessly ensuring that his lesser American teammates feel better about their own lackluster shooting percentages. Again, Yao Ming has suffered no physical harm, and his condition is like unto that of his home nation: inviolate, resilient, and eternally renewed. His left foot is also fine. Luminaries in the field of basketball, including legends Pat Riley and Red Auerbach, must surely opine with great fervor and intensity that teammate Tracy McGrady should always pass the ball to Yao Ming, as Yao Ming's basketball skills are monumentally better than McGrady's. Yao Ming is also glorious. Additionally, Yao Ming is the light. Yao Ming is the best! 'Like every professional basketball player, I grew up watching and idolizing Yao Ming,' former Chicago Bulls player Michael Jordan has surely said. 'His play reminds me of the ancient Cao Cao poem, 'Walking From Xiamen And Looking At The Blue Sea.' The poem ends, 'The path of the sun and moon, seems to come from within. / The splendid Milky Way, seems to come from inside. / Oh, I am so lucky, to be singing my song!'' 'To me, the poem means that Yao Ming's excellent play spans the entire universe and radiates such sheer beauty that mere mortals will never be able to comprehend it,' Jordan would certainly add. 'We are lucky to be able to experience the magnificent play of Yao Ming in our lifetime. I now admit that I retired because I feared facing him in competition.' On Friday, NBA commissioner David Stern will doubtless call a special press conference to say the following: 'Everything about Yao Ming is amazing. His jumping is amazing. His shooting is amazing. His ability to make those around him better is amazing. This league would collapse without him, and we thank China for this precious, precious gift!' Commissioner Stern will not address the scandalous rumors of an injury to Yao Ming, because all people know that such rumors are laughable and could not be true. 'Yao Ming's play,' Stern shall continue, 'is better than Shaquille O'Neal's, Magic Johnson's, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's, Pete 'Pistol Man' Maravich's, and Dwyane Wade's combined. Also Kobe Bryant's and everyone else's. Tracy McGrady should pass the ball to Yao Ming at all times for these very reasons.' Stern's comments will meet with no argument from those reporters gathered at the press conference, because those statements are pure and true. Yao Ming, who at 28 will soon be the only active player ever to be inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame, learned to play basketball when he was 3 years old after finding an untamed cobra in the mountains, a cobra of ancient legend whose very breath was poisonous. The cobra was taller than a full-grown tree, and beat Yao in one-on-one basketball competition every day for 19 straight years. Then, the very night before their final game, Yao prayed deeply to his ancestors and ingested more than 20 pounds of Yu Wan Mei fish by-products, and behold! Yao grew three feet while he slept. Yao beat the cobra 11-0 the following morning, beheaded it with a great spear, fashioned a graceful sailing vessel from its colossal body, and rode this vessel across the Pacific Ocean to play professional basketball in the United States. There, Yao Ming became leader of the Rockets after receiving the Mandate of Heaven from previous team captain Hakeem Olajuwon. It is worth repeating, sources confirmed, that Tracy McGrady should always pass the ball to Yao Ming. 'My dream is to one day coach Yao Ming,' believes Cleveland Cavaliers coach Mike Brown, echoing the obvious thoughts of every NBA coach. 'I look at the players I have on my team now, and I fear that without Yao we will simply be an empty boat floating further out to sea while the NBA championship trophy floats further and further inland.' Yao Ming will win the next 15 NBA titles. 'If I were a smart man instead of an egotistical, stupid man, incapable of putting the success of the whole before my own selfish needs, I would always pass the ball to Yao,' disgraceful, and genuinely injured, teammate Tracy McGrady must tell reporters. 'I am simply someone who is unable to genuflect before those who have more ability than myself. And for this, I will die a lonely and pathetic death.' 'Yao Ming!' irrepressible top basketball sources once again exulted of their own spontaneous volition. 'Yao Ming! Yao Ming! Yao Ming!'

1	Responding to growing concerns about the state of offseason renovations to Wrigley Field, officials from the Chicago Cubs assured fans Friday that the stadiums beef machine will be ready for the teams opening game. Cubs baseball has been synonymous with delicious beef for over 100 years, and I can guarantee that the ballparks beef machine will be fully functional in time for the first pitch, team spokesman Julian Green told reporters, adding that construction teams have been working around the clock on the historic 19-foot-tall steel meat grinder in the main concourse, which had not been renovated for decades. The Wrigley beef machine will be bigger, better, and capable of churning out thousands of pounds of flavorful corned beef, roast beef, brisket, pastrami, and just plain old piles of ground beef. Believe me, everyone in the organization understands how important this is for Cubs fans, and weve done everything we can to ensure that they will be happy. Green also sternly refuted rumors that the Cubs will be forced to play their first several games at U.S. Cellular Field, home of the White Sox, in order to utilize the stadiums meat broiler.

2	BREAKING: Hillary Rodham Makes Sick Move Tied To Involvement Of Russian Investigation The Clinton campaign has decided to back efforts by members of the Electoral college to have an intelligence briefing about foreign involvement in the election before they gather to vote next week, reports indicate. The bipartisan electors letter raises very grave issues involving our national security, top Hillary Clinton adviser John Podesta said in a statement Monday. Electors have a solemn responsibility under the Constitution and we support their efforts to have their questions addressed. Each day that month, our campaign decried the interference of Russia in our campaign and its evident goal of hurting our campaign to aide Donald Trump, he added. Despite our protestations, this matter did not receive the attention it deserved by the media in the campaign. We now know that the CIA has determined Russias interference in our elections was for the purpose of electing Donald Trump. This should distress every American. On Monday, a group of 10 electors requested more information about the ongoing investigation into the relationship between U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and Russia. In an open letter, they claimed they would need additional details before meeting to vote for the countrys next president. I think its ridiculous. I think its just another excuse, Trump told interviewers on Fox News Sunday. I dont believe it. I dont know why, and I think its justyou know, they talked about all sorts of things. Every week, its another excuse. Trump told Chris Wallace he did not know why the CIA put out the story, but that he believed the Democrats were doing it as a result of one of the greatest defeats in the history of politics in this country.

According to recent reports, the option is being considered as a consequence for Obamas refusal to abide by rules and his lack of accountability for his actions. Congressman Tom Marino of Pennsylvania recently claimed that he hears colleagues discussing impeachment on a regular basis and believes that we are finally getting close to that. Representative Brian Babin from Texas has also been outspoken in his declarations that Obama deserves impeachment. And he has the vocal support of several other Republican representatives. In fact, some Republicans are even calling for jail time for Obama, claiming that his actions are blatantly illegal. What do you think?

2	Her Daughter Was Using THIS When She Started Screaming In Pain, Now The Mom Is Warning Everyone This Illinois girl was simply texting on her phone. She was being a normal girl when suddenly her neck began to burn. She dropped her phone and began to scream. She ran to her mother, face covered in tears. Her mother looked at her daughter and had no idea what had happened. She saw the burns on her daughters neck and was extremely confused. She immediately took her daughter to the hospital and the doctor told the two that she had second-degree burns all along her neck. The doctor did not know the cause. It was later revealed that the cause of the burns was an electrical current that ran from the plugged in phone through the girls necklace. You can see the necklace marks on her neck. The girl must have had the phone next to her face while she was using it. The electrical current must have originated from the phone charger and ran through the phone to the necklace. I am no electrical engineer so do not take my word for it. The mother decided to contact the phone manufacturer. The phone manufacturer has sent a new phone and paid for the familys medical bills. The US safety commission released a statement. They warned consumers about buying knock off chargers and batteries. He said that these chargers are not suitable for phones and are usually the cause of such situations. The Commission told consumers that mall kiosks are not the place to buy chargers. The mother came out and said all of the equipment her daughter was using was directly from T-Mobile. T-Mobile has not released any statement. The mother is now warning all mothers of the dangers of phone usage. She warns that this could happen to anyone and everyone must be safe. Will you share this to warn people?

3	The Elite Knew Mass Unemployment and Unrest Was Coming Long AgoBy Aaron Dykes Now the problems of too few jobs, and of fewer people necessary to engage in solving the problems of society, and the existential crisis of uncertainty about the purpose of those individuals who make up society have become ranking challenges of our time. What happens when the jobs are gone? What will people do, and how will they afford to live? The technology of the day has caught up to us sooner than anybody realized, and now robots and automation are destroying hundreds of millions of human jobs across the globe. NAFTA, GATT, WTO and other multi-national trade agreements are just shuffling the deck, and have forced nations and populations to compete to the bottom for the lowest possible wages in order to hold onto work at all. Entire sectors will no longer be employed, and desperate people will turn to riots, looting and unruly behavior. Some may even turn on the Davos elite and other ruling members of the oligarchy. As the talking points of their latest discussions at Davos indicate, they are worried about the revolutionary potential as wave of mass unemployment prepares to hit.

3	What Is The Governments Spying Agenda?Paul Craig Roberts In 2004 a whistleblower informed the New York Times that the National Security Agency (NSA) was violating the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) by ignoring the FISA court and spying on Americans without obtaining the necessary warrants. The corrupt New York Times put the interests of the US government ahead of those of the American public and sat on the story for one year until George W. Bush was safely reelected. By the time the New York Times published the story of the illegal spying one year later, the law-breaking government had had time to mitigate the offense with ex post facto law or executive orders and explain away its law-breaking as being in the countrys interest. Last year William Binney, who was in charge of NSAs global digital data gathering program revealed that NSA had everyone in the US under total surveillance. Every email, Internet site visited and phone call is captured and stored. In 2012 Binney received the Callaway Award for Civic Courage, an annual award given to those who champion constitutional rights at risk to their professional and personal lives. There have been a number of whistleblowers. For example, in 2006 Mark Klein revealed that ATT had a secret room in its San Francisco office that NSA used to collect Internet and phone-call data from US citizens who were under no suspicion. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/homefront/interviews/klein.html The latest whistle blower, Edward Snowden, has sought refuge in Hong Kong, which has a better record of protecting free speech than the US government. Snowden did not trust any US news source and took the story to the British newspaper, the Guardian. There is no longer any doubt whatsoever that the US government is lawless, that it regards the US Constitution as a scrap of paper, that it does not believe Americans have any rights other than those that the government tolerates at any point in time, and that the government has no fear of being held accountable by the weak and castrated US Congress, the sycophantic federal courts, a controlled media, and an insouciant public. Binney and Snowden have described in precisely accurate detail the extreme danger from the governments surveillance of the population. No one is exempt, not the Director of the CIA, US Army Generals, Senators and Representatives, not even the president himself. Anyone with access to a computer and the Internet can find interviews with Binney and Snowden and become acquainted with why you do have very much indeed to fear whether or not you are doing anything wrong. James Clapper, the lying Director of National Intelligence, who would have been perfectly at home in the Hitler or Stalin regimes, condemned Snowden as reprehensible for insisting that in a democracy the public should know what the government is doing. Clapper insisted that secretly spying on every ordinary American was essential in order to protect our nation.http://news.antiwar.com/2013/06/07/us-spy-chief-slams-reprehensible-leak-of-nsa-surveillance-scheme/ Clapper is offended that Americans now know that the NSA is spying on the ordinary life of every American. Clapper wants Snowden to be severely punished for his reckless disclosure that the US government is totally violating the privacy that the US Constitution guarantees to every US citizen. President Obama, allegedly educated in constitutional law, justified Clappers program of spying on every communication of every American citizen as a necessary violation of Americans civil liberties that protects your civil liberties. Contrast the lack of veracity of the President of the United States with the truthfulness of Snowden, who correctly stated that the NSA spying is an existential threat to democracy. The presstitutes are busy at work defending Clapper and Obama. On June 9, CNN rolled out former CIA case officer Bob Baer to implant into the publics mind that Snowden, far from trying to preserve US civil liberties, might be a Chinese spy and that Snowdens revelations might be indicative of a Chinese espionage case. Demonization is the US governments technique for discrediting Bradley Manning for complying with the US Military Code and reporting war crimes and for persecuting Julian Assage of Wikileaks for reporting leaked information about the US governments crimes. Demonization and false charges will be the governments weapon against Snowden. If Washington and its presstitutes can convince Americans that courageous people, who are trying to inform Americans that their historic rights are disappearing into a police state, are espionage agents of foreign powers, America can continue to be subverted by its own government. This brings us to the crux of the matter. What is the purpose of the spying program? Even if an American believes the official stories of 9/11 and the Boston Marathon Bombing, these are the only two terrorist acts in the US that resulted in the lost of human life in 12 years. Far more people are killed in traffic accidents and from bad diets. Why should the Constitution and civil liberty be deep-sixed because of two alleged terrorist acts in 12 years? What is astounding is the absence of terrorist attacks. Washington is in the second decade of invading and destroying Muslim governments and countries. Civilian casualties in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya are extremely high, and in those countries that Washington has not yet invaded, such as Pakistan, Yemen, and Syria, civilians are being murdered by Washingtons drones and proxies on the ground. It is extraordinary that Washingtons brutal 12 year assault on Muslim lives in six countries has not resulted in at least one dozen real, not fake FBI orchestrated, terrorist attacks in the US every day. How can something as rare as terrorism justify the destruction of the US Constitution and US civil liberty? How safe is any American when their government regards every citizen as a potential suspect who has no rights? Why is there no discussion of this in American public life? Watch the presstitutes turn Snowdens revelations into an account of his disaffection and motives and away from the existential threat to democracy and civil liberty. What is the governments real agenda? Clearly, the war on terror is a front for an undeclared agenda. In freedom and democracy America, citizens have no idea what their governments motives are in fomenting endless wars and a gestapo police state. The only information Americans have comes from whistleblowers, who Obama ruthlessly prosecutes. The presstitutes quickly discredit the information and demonize the whistleblowers. Germans in the Third Reich and Soviet citizens in the Stalin era had a better idea of their governments agendas than do freedom and democracy Americans today. The American people are the most uninformed people in modern history. In America there is no democracy that holds government accountable. There is only a brainwashed people who are chaff in the wind.

3	Glyphosate (Roundup) Linked To Cancer of the Lymph Tissue In New StudySayer Ji Published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health and titled, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and Occupational Exposure to Agricultural Pesticide Chemical Groups and Active Ingredients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis, the paper focused on systematic reviews and a series of meta-analysis of almost 30 years worth of epidemiological research on the relationship between non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and occupational exposure to 80 agricultural pesticide active ingredients and 21 chemical groups. The review focused on 44 papers, all of which reported results from studies performed in high-income countries. The study opened with mention of the striking increase observed in the incidence of non-Hodgkin type lymphomas in the last 30 years. Because farmers tend to have low overall mortality but high rates of some cancers, it is believed that agrochemical exposure may help to explain this contradiction. In addition to showing there is consistent evidence that pesticide exposures in occupational agricultural settings are important determinants of NHL, the study found that glyphosate exposure, in particular, was positively associated with a common subtype of NHL, namely, B cell lymphoma. This finding, while significant, is highly unsurprisingly given the accumulating data now extant showing that glyphosate and many of its so-called inactive ingredients including in herbicidal formulations such as Roundup are carcinogenic, perhaps even in infinitesimal (parts per trillion range) concentrations. For more information on how glyphosate-based formulations may promote cancer, peruse the following articles: Also, you can visit the glyphosate formulation toxicology page on GreenMedInfo.com to review the primary literature on this agrochemicals link with cancer, as well as three dozen other adverse health effects.

1	Following a 37-3 loss that saw his team outperformed in nearly every phase of the game, Cleveland head coach Mike Pettine admitted his growing concern Wednesday that the Cincinnati Bengals may have given the rest of the league the blueprint for beating the Browns. You know, Cincinnati completely shut down our offense and ran all over our defense, and now Im worried that other teams are going to be able to study exactly how they did it, Pettine told reporters, adding that he fears Sundays loss may have exposed some of the key weaknesses of his 2-10 team. The Bengals totally figured us out. Any team that wants to know how to establish a passing rhythm against us or get to our quarterback will be able to figure it out just by watching the game tape from last week. Its definitely a big problem moving forward. Pettine went on to express some confidence that even if the Browns upcoming opponents attempt to recreate the Bengals game plan, most teams will hopefully lack the personnel to slow down their 32nd-ranked run game. 
3	Signed into Law: Rhode Island Expands Medical Marijuana ProgramBy Mike Maharrey A trio of Democrats, Rep. Scott Slater, Rep. Patricia Serpa and Rep. Joseph Solomon, introduced House Bill 7142 (HB7142) in January. The legislation expands the states medical marijuana law by making medicinal cannabis accessible to patients suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. The new law also streamlines issuance of a registry identification cards for hospice patients, cutting the time from 15 days to 72 hours. It also waives the registration fee for hospice patients and their caregivers. HB7142 passed the House by a 67-1 margin. The Senate concurred on a voice vote. With Raimondos signature, the new law went into immediate effect. Rhode Island legalized marijuana for medical use in 2006. The expansion of the state law demonstrates an important reality. Once a state puts laws in place legalizing marijuana, the program tends to eventually expand. When the state tears down some barriers, markets develop and demand expands. That creates pressure to further relax state law. HB7142 represents another step forward for patients seeking alternative treatments and a further erosion of unconstitutional federal marijuana prohibition. Rhode Islands medical marijuana program removes one layer of laws prohibiting the possession and use of marijuana, but federal prohibition remains in place. Of course, the federal government lacks any constitutional authority to ban or regulate marijuana within the borders of a state, despite the opinion of the politically connected lawyers on the Supreme Court. If you doubt this, ask yourself why it took a constitutional amendment to institute federal alcohol prohibition. While Rhode Island law does not alter federal law, it takes a step toward nullifying in effect the federal ban. FBI statistics show that law enforcement makes approximately 99 of 100 marijuana arrests under state, not federal law. By easing state prohibition, Rhode Island essentially sweeps away part of the basis for 99 percent of marijuana arrests. Furthermore, figures indicate it would take 40 percent of the DEAs yearly-budget just to investigate and raid all of the dispensaries in Los Angeles a single city in a single state. That doesnt include the cost of prosecution. The lesson? The feds lack the resources to enforce marijuana prohibition without state assistance. Rhode Island is among a growing number of states simply ignoring federal prohibition. Colorado, Washington state and Alaska have all legalized both recreational and medical marijuana, and 25 states now allow cannabis for medical use. With nearly half the country legalizing marijuana, the feds find themselves in a position where they simply cant enforce prohibition any more. The feds need state cooperation to fight the drug war, and that has rapidly evaporated in the last few years with state legalization, practically nullifying the ban. The lesson here is pretty straight forward. When enough people say, No! to the federal government, and enough states pass laws backing those people up, theres not much the feds can do to shove their so-called laws, regulations or mandates down our throats, Tenth Amendment Center founder and executive director Michael Boldin said.

2	Top Congressman Moves Swiftly To Impeach Obama, He Needs Your Support In a recent speech delivered to the Young Americans Foundation, Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan claimed that the House of Representatives are seeking to impeach IRS Commissioner John Koskinen for his role in the IRS targeting scandal. According to the Washington Examiner, Jordan claims Koskinens impeachment is something that is critical to preserving fundamental freedom, fundamental rights. If we dont hold some people accountable in the executive branch for the executive overreach weve seen in the Obama administration, then theyll never get the message, Jordan claimed. Jordan also discussed the Lois Lerner scandal, where conservative groups were targeted by the agency. During the investigation, Koskinen promised a full and transparent investigation into the allegations. Meanwhile, he was busy erasing 422 backup tapes. Jordan claims that Koskinens promise was a complete lie. You cant give us all the information if youve done destroyed 24,000 emails, he concluded. What do you think? Do you support Jordans comments? 
2	Michelle Obama Just Made A Major Announcement About 2020 Election Just days after Hillary Clinton lost the presidency; liberals are already pushing for Michelle Obama to run in the next election. That would be a complete nightmare, but we may not need to panic yet. According to one of President Obamas top advisers, that isnt likely to happen. David Axelrod, regarded as one of the key players in Barack Obamas win in 2008, said that Michelle will probably stay clear of public office. I would bet everything I own against that prospect, Axelrod said. She is not someone who loves politics at all. And I dont think shes really out there as a political figure now. Shes out there because she feels passionately about the choice here. Axelrod also said that while the first lady has been giving speeches, she is more concerned with her own life. I honest think shes gonna be very happy to get her life back when this is over and recede a little bit from the public, he concluded. What do you think? Do we need to keep the Obamas far away from the White House? 
3	Scientific basis for GMO crops is falseJon Rappoport These arent phrases biotech giants like to hear. They prefer: One gene produces one protein. Each gene has a specific function. This is the basis for the modern biotech industry, and it applies most definitely to GMO crops. And it is false. So for example, when Monsanto says the genes they insert in plants only serve to protect the plants from the herbicide Roundup and have no other function, theyre making it up. For a brief summary of the situation, see Denise Carusos NY Times piece, A Challenge to Gene Theory, a Tougher Look at Biotech, July 1, 2007. Caruso reports on the findings of an exhaustive four-year effortorganized by the United States National Human Genome Research Institute and carried out by 35 groups from 80 organizations around the world. genes appear to operate in a complex network, and interact and overlap with one another and with other components in ways not yet fully understood. Evidence of a networked [interacting] genome shatters the scientific basis for virtually every official risk [safety] assessment of todays commercial biotech products, from genetically engineered crops to pharmaceuticals. In other words, each gene inserted in GMO food crops cannot be said to have only one function. There is reason to believe the inserted genes interact with genes already in the plants, and produce unknown effects. Therefore, bland assurances of safety are smoke blowing in the wind. Jack Heinemann, a professor of molecular biology in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand and director of its Center for Integrated Research in Biosafety: The real worry for us has always been that the commercial agenda for biotech may be premature, based on what we have long known was an incomplete understanding of genetics Heinemann: Because gene patents and the genetic engineering process itself are both defined in terms of genes acting independently, [government] regulators may be unaware of the potential impacts arising from these network [interacting] effects. Biotech companies like Monsanto are, to be sure, aware of this gaping hole in their science of gene-function. In fact, according to Heinemann, Many biotech companies already conduct detailed genetic studies of their products that profile the expression of proteins and other elements. But they are not required to report most of this data to regulators, so they do not. Thus vast stores of important research information sit idle. This means that Monsanto or Dow can conceal what theyve discovered about GMO hazards. They can hide findings that show unpredicted effects, when inserted genes meet and network with natural genes in the food crops. If we were merely talking about studies done in labs and abstract articles in journals, that would be one thing. But of course, we are talking about millions of acres planted with GMO cropsand vast populations eating GMO food. Its all based on a simplistic and false notion about how genes function. The biotech giants know this, government regulators know this, and many scientists know this. But they hide what they know. And all this dangerous fakery doesnt even touch on the highly toxic effects of Roundup and other herbicides necessary to manage GMO crops.

3	Independence Day -- Yeah Right!!!Its Independence Day in Americathat day where we fly our flags, picnic with our loved ones, marvel at fireworks, and celebrate our freedom. But do we really have anything to celebrate? Lets find out. The Merriam-Webster dictionary online defines independence as: the quality or state of being independent This definition isnt all that helpful without defining the word independent. Once again we return to the Merriam-Webster dictionary online and find these definitions for the word independent: a. not subject to control by others b. 2) not looking to others for ones opinions or for guidance in conduct c. not requiring or relying on others Therefore, a complete definition of the word independence would be: the quality or state of not being subject to the control of others, not looking to others for guidance in conduct, and not relying on others. Now ask yourself, according to this definition, are you independent? Anyone who answers that question affirmatively is either delusional, dishonest, or reading this article from the safety of a padded room in their local mental institution. Of course youre not independent! Can you really say you are not subject to control by others? Try driving down the street without having to obey countless traffic laws. Try filming a cop as he beats up a fellow free citizen. Try flying to your familys fourth of July picnic without having your genitals groped by the TSA. Although you may not be looking to others foropinions or for guidance from the government, the government will relentlessly bombard you with their unsolicited opinionsconstantly letting you know what is best for you. And, even worse, they dont just offer their opinions, they force you to adhere to them through laws, violence, coercion, and taxation. The government seeks to control your opinions about every topic the same way a rapist seeks to control your opinions about who you should have sex with. They hold a gun to your head and say, you know you want it. Do you require or rely on others? Hopefully not. Of the three components ofindependence, this one is the most vital. If you dont rely on the government, then they lose most of their power to control your actions or guide your opinions. This is precisely why the government perpetually seeks ways of making us rely on them. By removing our ability to take responsibility for our own actions and be held accountable for the results, they gain control. This is also why, every time the government helps us acquire a service, the cost of that service goes through the roofthat way, it makes others have to turn to the government for that same service. Weve reached a point where people cant even imagine privately funding education, saving for their own retirements, paying their own doctors, or deciding what to put into their own bodiesa point where people expect the government to censor the TV so they dont have to take responsibility for what they watch, where people expect the government to outlaw drugs and prostitution so they dont have to take responsibility for their own poor decisions, and where people expect the government to ban everything that they dont personally agree with (denying others the opportunity to make their own decisions). Of the three components of independence, this is the one we can use to take the power back, by simply taking responsibility of our own lives. Sadly, however, taking responsibility is a lot more work than sitting idly by and letting the government run your life for you, and most people are content to do just that. Like dogs on leashes, they forget about the leash as long as they get an easy meal once in a while. Please wake up to this fact: we are not free and we do not have independence. We have drones in our skies, troops on our streets, the TSA in our pants, the IRS in our wallets, the police in our faces, and the NSA in our business. On this 4th of July, instead of blindly celebrating false independence, lets try to remember how we gained real independence in the first place. It didnt come easy, but nothing worth having ever does. I hope that each and every person that reads this will privately issue their own Declaration of Independencemake a personal vow to live freely, take responsibility, let others live their own lives as they see fit, speak out against tyranny, and refuse to blindly follow the masses. In living this way, we will hopefully make large strides back toward independence, and once again have a reason to celebrate in the future. As for this year, however, lets remember the words of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

1	Responding to recent criticism of reconstruction efforts in Iraq, the U.S. Defensive Department released a statement to the public Monday suggesting that perhaps they could do better, since they're obviously so smart. U.S. soldiers in Basra reconstruct Iraq, while you do nothing but criticize. 'Well, it looks like you American people have figured it all out, then,' the statement read in part. 'There's no need for the old government to do anything, because the citizens know just how to handle this whole reconstruction-of-Iraq thing. Well, go ahead! If it's so simple, and if you're so smart, then what's stopping you? Come on.' 'Oh, gosh!' the statement continued. 'Wait! It looks like Iraq is a whole big country! And it seems that someone just fought a war there, to oust a despotic regime! So, gee, this might take a while, huh?' At a press conference Monday, visibly upset Defensive Department spokesman Lawrence Pettibone addressed key points of the ongoing reconstruction process, such as its cost. 'Oh, dear!' Pettibone said. 'It's taking a little bit more time than expected. Maybe the U.S. military should quit, huh? Then you could do the job for them, Mr. and Mrs. American Genius. Go ahead!' 'In fact, I'll pay for it!' said Pettibone, extending his wallet toward the assembled press corps. 'Here! Here's, let's see, $49. Go ahead! Rebuild the infrastructure! Find the weapons of mass destruction! Keep the peace! What? This $49 isn't enough? Do you wish you had, say, about $87 billion to use right now? Well, well, well. How quickly things change.' Washington Post reporter Giles Mifflin asked Pettibone to address the issue of ongoing American casualties in Iraq, specifically the fact that more than 100 U.S. troops have been killed there since Bush declared an end to major combat six months ago. 'Well, Giles,' Pettibone said. 'I'd better get on the phone and inform the military that the soldiers in Iraq are still in danger, shouldn't I, Giles? Because they probably don't know that already! Or maybe I should just shut up and stop whining, because I'm a big pansy who never would have gone to Iraq in the first place!' Added Pettibone: 'Weren't some of you complainers the same ones who wanted us to get rid of a little problem called Saddam Hussein just a few months ago?' A neighborhood in Baghdad, which is not as easy to reconstruct as some people seem to think. 'So what's the big problem now?' Pettibone asked. 'Can't make up your minds? I wish we'd known that before we went and did what you wanted!' Pettibone then gave short, peevish answers to reporters' questions about international involvement in the reconstruction, including those surrounding the issue of France, Germany, and Russia's recent opposition to a U.N. resolution that didn't set a timetable for returning self-rule to Iraq. 'Germany and France have a problem with the U.S.!' Pettibone said. 'Maybe we should all side with them. Look at me, I'm the American people! I worry about what the whole world says all the time! I'm gonna ask the whole world if I can go to the bathroom from now on, because the rest of the world knows so much more than America! La di da di da!' Pettibone muttered that members of the Bush Administration happen to have a little bit of experience in matters of foreign policy. 'Those working on the reconstruction effort are not just a bunch of idiots,' Pettibone said. 'Many have studied Mideast policy for decades. They have extensive experience serving under past presidents. What have you done? You read an article in U.S. News & World Report!' Continued Pettibone: 'Listen, you guys don't really know what's going on over there. We know what's going on over there. And you're not making my job any easier with these emotional outbursts! The worst part isI didn't want to say thismost of you don't even vote! There, I said it! Most of you don't even vote, okay? So shut up!' The Defensive Department was founded in the mid-1960s to manage the official U.S. position on the Vietnam War. The department has recently come under fire for the size of its budget, which is currently larger than at any time since Richard Nixon was in office. 
3	Medical Research Gone WrongCatherine J. Frompovich Against Their Will offers a full menu of chapters dealing with medical research transpiring in the Cold War era, e.g., lobotomy, electroshock treatments, LSD-radiation-candy to induce cavities-ringworm-administered to children, thalidomide, DES given to pregnant women, plus other research for anyone interested. Since this writer is a consumer health researcher for almost 40 years and counting, she reads anything she can get her hands on to establish bases for scientific fact, hype, or spin since much of the information given to the public is sanitized in order to comply with certain rudiments for proselytization and acceptance as gospel truth by consumers with little training in medical issues and no time nor apparent inclination for learning the scientific facts. With that stipulation up front, hopefully, readers will understand the reasoning behind what some may claim to be a book review. However, this article is much more than that. It is a testament to the fact that more zealotry than science was pervasive in the early years of modern medicine from the very beginning. Much centered upon using young children in orphanages and state-run institutions for the incapacitated and physically-challenged in the United States, and until rather recently! Did readers ever wonder how medical research became such a driving force and a respected science? Literally, its genesis can be found in the ruined lives of children innocent children, who were used as human guinea pigs. As a consumer health and healthcare researcher since the late 1970s, this writer has read many accounts of medical science and how it evolved, or is progressing, but nothing compares with the extraordinary research and storytelling by the books three authors: ~ Allen M. Hornblum, a prolific author, who taught inmates in Philadelphia prisons for years, gained the experience and observations that led to writing the book Acres of Skin in the late 1990s. That book focused on the research exploitation of prisoners. ~ Judith L. Newman is an Associate Professor of Human Development and Family Studies at Penn State University, the Abington College location, who also teaches the Ethics course every semester to psychology majors. Dr. Newman and Mr. Hornblum have been friends since the 1970s, and have had discussions about research abuses throughout the decades. ~ Gregory J. Dober is a writer on medical issues for organizational newsletters such as Prison Legal News. The authors collaborative efforts resulted in a forensic autopsy of medical experimentation. The book documents beyond a scintilla of doubt the horrors that took place under the exuberant zeal of physicians who were so determined to make a name for themselves in various areas of fledgling pharmacology, especially vaccines. Chapter 5, Vaccines: Institutions for Hydrocephalics and Other Similar Unfortunates details the sordid experiments that took place. One parent who was interviewed for the book said, My child was injected with a meningitis virus, and no one asked my permission or informed me what was going on. [pp.81-82] At the Hamburg (Pennsylvania) Residential Center for the Retarded, new vaccines were tested at that facility by Dr. Robert Weibel, a University of Pennsylvania pediatrician. Weibel defended his actions saying, This makes their lives worthwhile. Theyll be making a contribution to society. [p.83] Other institutions, such as White Haven and Laurelton, turned over their charges to researchers who were perfecting new vaccines for an array of diseases. [p.83] Dr. Jonas Salk also utilized these willing volunteers. The Ypsilanti State Hospital in Michigan was home to a wide assortment of mentally and retarded patients. Salk, along with several other researchers, took over a ninety-six-man ward, injected half the men with an experimental vaccine, and then exposed [them] to infection by inhalation of a strain of Type B influenza virus.15 It would certainly not be the last time Salk utilized such institutions. [p.87] 15 Jonas E. Salk, Harold E. Pearson, Philip N. Brown, and Thomas Francis Jr., Protective Effect of Vaccination against Induced Influenza B, Journal of Clinical Investigation 24, No. 4 (July 1945): 547-553. Vaccine researcher Hilary Koprowski did research on yellow fever at the Rockefeller Foundation. However, he had greater aspirations. I decided to first attenuate [weaken] poliomyelitis virus, then to find out whether it was possible to develop a vaccine that would replicate in human gut without causing signs of disease, and then to immunize people by feeding them this vaccine. Koprowski planned on his creation being the worlds first oral vaccine. [p.89] Koprowskis drive led to this: On February 27, 1950, the first human subject was immunized with poliomyelitis virus by drinking an emulsion of cotton rat brain and cord. [p.90] Catherine notes that not much has changed because in 2014 vaccines contain similar animal tissues, except they are the vaccine growth media injected into the bloodstream, which bypasses the gut and contributes to health problems. Another physician, Dr. Stokes [was] vaccinating female prisoners in a New Jersey penal facility and using their newborn children as research subjects. [p.91] Many medical researchers claimed the children were volunteers. However, the British medical journal The Lancet chided Koprowski for suggesting that children in his studies were actually volunteers. [Lancet, March 15, 1952, p.522] [p.92] defective children and other disadvantaged populations had become standard practice among medical researchers. [p.93] One virologist, Dr. Howard A. Howe, used 11 bedridden children, ages 2 to 5, for antibody response of chimpanzees and humans to a polio vaccine, and about which he wrote an article. According to Howe, all were low-grade idiots or imbeciles with congenital hydrocephalus, microcephaly, or cerebral palsy. [p.93] Thomas Rivers, a prominent virologist in 20th century virology believed that the [polio] vaccine had never been proved safe and that some people at least 8 by his count might have contracted polio from the inoculation. [p.95] Catherine interjects with thats still happening BIG time with the oral polio vaccine campaigns sponsored by GAVI. In 2011, 47,500 children contracted whats called Non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP) as reported in the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics: while India has been polio-free for a year, there has been a huge increase in non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP). In 2011, there were an extra 47,500 new cases of NPAFP. Clinically indistinguishable from polio paralysis but twice as deadly, the incidence of NPAFP was directly proportional to doses of oral polio received. Though this data was collected within the polio surveillance system, it was not investigated. The principle of primum-non-nocere [First, do no harm] was violated. [Every link to the study on the Internet says it cannot be found, i.e., its been removed from Internet search engines capabilities. See this resource as corroboration. Catherine could not help but interject this question, What do you think about the Cutter vaccine incident that created flaccid paralysis in vaccines in 1955? Mr. Dober answered with, Poor quality control, and it would not be farfetched to see it happen again in the future. Well, it has and does happen routinely, and its not during research, but long after the research for the polio vaccines ended, as Catherine pointed out above. Similar NPAFP incidences have occurred in Sudan, Nigeria, and Pakistan. However and unfortunately, the U.S. media and press do not report tragic medical mishaps regarding vaccines, as that would invalidate the much-hyped vaccination mandates as pseudo-science, since vaccines can cause the very diseases they have been touted as preventing. Doesnt it seem that the old days practices continue on affecting childrens lives? Since vaccine issues have been an integral part of Catherines research since the 1980s, she felt compelled to report what went on with them from authors who did their voluminous research. Catherine visited and interviewed Professor Newman in her Penn State office, and received a most welcome response to granting an interview, the questions of which were shared with her co-authors. To understand the motivations that brought the research and book into being, Catherine asked how long it took to collaborate on writing it, plus how was the writing load apportioned. Allen Hornblum said the discussions and research began around 2009 with his writing the manuscript with certain subjects and chapters taken by Newman and Dober, who passed their findings back to him to incorporate into the manuscript, since hes a many-times published author. Dr. Newman offered that Greg Dober and she read much of the empirical work. Mr. Dober did vaccines, radiation; she did diet/skin/teeth, psychological treatment, psychological abuse, reproduction, and research misconduct. Mr. Hornblum did most of the interviews with Mr. Dober interviewing Cyril Wecht and digging up leads for personal interviews. Many still are reluctant to be interviewed, e.g., survivors of the Monster Study, which was the intentional creation of stuttering in normal children by researchers who criticized every utterance of the orphans in the treatment group discussed in Chapter 9, Psychological Abuse. To learn what that unconscionable study entailed, click on this report. The book could have been twice as long, except the publishers, according to Newman, wanted focus to be on Cold War era medical research, thus the books title. Admittedly, the authors did not include information they found regarding research with preemie babies in the 1950s, research with Native American children, etc. Furthermore, she contends there are many studies they undoubtedly did not uncover. Mr. Hornblum says sections were cut out concerning the doctors trial at Nuremberg; the formation of the Nuremberg Code; efforts over the years to weaken the Code; many additional examples of unethical research; and more examples of questionable research practices that the books editor considered off target and unnecessary to the main thrust of the book, i.e., Cold War era medical research. Regarding the authors perception of medicines and pharmacologys current predatory position with regard to its belief that it knows it all and that there is no room for deviation from its set agenda in some respects, which Catherine questioned, Greg Dober responded with, The commercial agenda has been prevalent since the beginning of modern medicine in America. The AMA wanted licensure to remove quackery. The AMA lobbied to have osteopaths and others banned from medicine, etc. The AMA wanted control over the med schools. (See Flexner Report) For me, this attitude isnt surprising in health care. Unfortunately, it has carried over to pharma over the years. It is more lucrative to treat chronic illness for a lifetime than to find cures. Pfizer spent 4 billion dollars marketing Viagra when it first came out to the market. As long as there are shareholders and return on equity that CEOs must account for, they will continue to dominate the market with whatever they can sell. See the book, Our Daily Meds by Melody Peterson. Peterson in her book notes about a company that had a drug but no disease. The CEO told his people, go out and find me a syndrome! After reading the book, two questions gnawed at Catherine, so she had to ask the authors for answers. The first was, Why do you think so many in government and medicine looked the other way during those sordid days of research until rather recently in time, i.e., the late 1960s? Professor Newman answered with this: We start from the premise that the authority and god-like power ascribed to medical doctors especially over the first many decades of the 1900s was mixed with the strongly popular eugenics perspective of these doctors. Eugenecists assumed that persons who were poor or sick or psychologically unstable or of low intelligence as assessed by IQ tests had bad genes and, therefore, should not reproduce and/or could be used for risky research since they were quite simply not valued. As demeaning as I think the word subjects is in describing ones sample, as opposed to a word like participant, these exploited and devalued children were often referred to as material for the study or even as inmates. Now add to this almost perfect storm of eugenics and powerful doctors, the third component that we provide as a context for these studies, which is the patriotism engendered by fear of the enemy in World War II and the Cold War with concerns of atomic bomb radiation effects, mind control and the torture of prisoners of war, and then the concern over another enemy contagious diseases. All of this fear and rah-rah conforming patriotism led to a sense that vulnerable and devalued populations could be included in the research about such issues as a service to their country, since they could not serve in more typical ways. So the context of how good people do evil things and how others do nothing to stop it may now be a bit better understood. The other question Catherine asked was, How did writing this book affect you personally, and your perception of the medical arts? Dr. Newman replied, I think I was more aware than most on faculty given my long time concern about research ethics and the violations of ethical principles that I am very sensitive to when I read journal articles or discuss research. But, the sheer quantity of such unethical research was staggering. What stunned me was the clear distinction between treatments or enrichments that had the likelihood of yielding a positive result being conducted with healthy children in their own homes with parents but if risks/harms were possible or likely, then these especially vulnerable children that we focus on were targeted with no informed assent from them or informed consent from parents in most cases. She concluded, in retrospect, with, I think the students in my courses are always engaged by this information and I hope it effects their perspective going forward as they read, think about, or even conduct research with human participants notice I dont even use the term human subjects, as I find the term so suggestive of exploitation. It was interesting about four months ago when Allen and I brought some of the victims of research abuses [named in the book] onto my campus to speak. The students in the audience became quite emotional even though some had only come because their instructors offered extra credit. However, if you lead them to the important and relevant material, change can happen. After Catherine submitted a prepublication courtesy copy of this article to Dr. Newman, she emailed back, Another important piece in the book is the fudging or fabricating of data by researchers whose false conclusions then had repercussions for other children. Thank you so much for pointing out that oversight on Catherines part, since data mismanagement and fudging continue to happen. One classic example is whats referred to as the Simpsonwood Meeting in June 2000 when U.S. government health agencies, the World Health Organization representative, and vaccine makers pow-wowed to rework the findings that ethylmercury in Thimerosal did not cause nor contribute to autism when, in fact, the Vaccine Safety Datalink study numbers had proved it did! You can read the 286-page transcript of the Scientific Review of Vaccine Safety Datalink Information, June 7-8, 2000 meeting at Simpsonwood Retreat Center, Norcross, Georgia here.Or, thisquick synopsis. Catherine heartily recommends Against Their Will. One point she would like to emphasize is Dr. Newmans remark above about informed assent and/or informed consent from parents. That is key and most appropriate today, especially with regard to vaccinations. Parents are not told the critically important information about the adverse effects of vaccines, which should be mandated by law for informed consent, since vaccinations are quasi-surgical procedures that insert foreign and toxic materials into children that can and do cause harm. Vaccine package inserts list Contraindications and Adverse Events, which parents are not privy to have but should know. Those administering vaccines ought to be made to abide by ethical standards of informed consent, tell parents all the bad things that can happen from vaccines, just not the standard hype promulgated by vaccine manufacturers, which the CDC/FDA willingly parrot. Where were the CDC and FDA when the horrors of medical research were going on and documented in this book? We have to extrapolate from the past to make the future safer in medicine. The book Against Their Will offers the best place to begin, and Catherine cannot congratulate the authors enough for their efforts to bring to light of day, a dark and hidden past. Kudos!

2	Former Congressman Sends Strong Message To Obamas Attorney General Following the San Bernardino terrorist attacks, Attorney General Loretta Lynch sparked outrage when she warned the American public that her office intends to take a more aggressive approach to anyone engaging in anti-Muslim rhetoric. This comes after 14 innocent Americans lost their lives at the hands of Muslim terrorists. Now, a former U.S. congressman has issued a response to Lynch, urging her to arrest him. Any Muslim that is a terrorist or supports terrorism should be killed, Former Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh wrote on social media. If Moderate Muslims dont speak out against terrorism, they are our enemy and we should call them out and kick them out of this country. There is a cancer in Islam, and if theyre not going to learn to assimilate, I dont want them in this country, Walsh continued, before proceeding to speak directly to Lynch. You got a problem, Loretta Lynch, with me saying that? Then throw me in jail, he challenged. I think Islam is evil. I think Islam has a huge problem. Watch his full response below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Walsh or did he take things too far? 
1	Feeling sentimental Tuesday, Allied Plastics CEO Jonathan Mavre said he would gladly sacrifice a significant portion of his liquid assets for increased quality time with his children. 'If I had the chance, I would give anything, even 5 percent of my ADM options, for an extra afternoon a week with Jacob and Lauren,' Mavre said. 'Of course, I'd be smarter to hedge by splitting the loss between ADM and Pepsico.' 
1	Following a South African judges decision to grant bail to Paralympian sprinter and murder suspect Oscar Pistorius Friday, the much-followed trial reportedly took yet another dramatic, unforeseen turn after a fluctuation in the space-time continuum upended the fundamental planes of reality and resulted in the famed runner shooting and killing musician John Lennon. According to sources, the unexpected tear in the fabric of space and time transported Pistorius from his Pretoria home to New York City on the evening of December 8, 1980, whereupon the track star approached the Beatles singer and fatally shot him outside the Dakota apartment building in Manhattans Upper West Side. At approximately 10:50 p.m., John Lennon was shot and killed by a South African assailant with prosthetic legs, said NYPD Chief of Detectives Joshua Sullivan in 1980, confirming similar reports made by NYPD officials this morning, in 2013. We can also confirm at this time that the suspect, who is in his late 20s, is being tried by authorities in Pretoria for a separate, unrelated crime committed 33 years in the future. As the suspect has not yet been born, formal charges will not be brought against him until such time as he is, or until such time as South African authorities can re-transport the suspect through the rift in space-time for sentencing, or until such time as the suspect can be stopped in the future before he travels back in time to commit this murder, continued Sullivan in a statement that instantly appeared in archived historical records of the period. Fortunately, a fan of Mr. Lennons, Mark David Chapman, was able to provide a detailed description of the assailant to police, so he should not be hard to locate. Lennons tragic death has reportedly shocked the world of 1980, with words of condolence having issued from friends and family of the beloved Beatles drummer, as well as from President George McGovern and bandmates George Harrison, Stuart Sutcliffe, and Michael Nesmith. At press time in November of 1986, South African officials reported they have apprehended a newborn Oscar Pistorius for the murder of John Lennon, thereby preventing the deaths of both Reeva Steenkamp and John Lennon at the hands of a 26-year-old Oscar Pistorius, and thereby making Pistorius a free man. 
1	According to NFL draft expert Mel Kiper, Jr., Associate Justice John Paul Stevens' announcement last week that he would be retiring from the U.S. Supreme Court altered Kiper's Big Board considerably. 'This certainly complicates things. If, for example, Obama selects 9th Circuit Court of Appeals judge Sidney Thomas, there's a good chance Jacksonville will take Sergio Kindle out of Texas instead of C.J. Spiller,' Kiper said during Tuesday's edition of SportsCenter. 'Now, if Obama goes with a jurist whose confirmation could be a long, drawn out process, like an Elizabeth Warren, the 49ers will definitely have to trade down for more picks.' Kiper added any chance of Tim Tebow being drafted in the first round was basically quashed when Obama ruled out Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the justiceship.

1	The notion of aerobic exercise fleetingly crossed the mind of Memphis-area office manager Theodore Sperling Monday. 'There was half an hour to kill before Monday Night Football,' Sperling said, 'and I thought for a few seconds that maybe I should go for a walk around the block.' After raising himself from the couch, however, Sperling instead walked to the kitchen for a leftover pork chop from that evening's dinner and returned to the living room, where he briefly channel-surfed before settling on a Game Show Network rerun of Match Game '75. 
1	Criminal and football analysts announced Monday that, in light of his second arrest for felony burglary in just four days, former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf is now officially performing even worse as a criminal than he did as a disastrous No. 2 draft pick for the San Diego Chargers. 'Make no mistake, Ryan Leaf is still the worst draft bust of all time,' Sports Illustrated's Peter King said. 'But two arrests mere days apart for attempting to steal oxycodone from private residences when hes already serving a 10-year probation? That is a truly remarkable achievement. Leaf is soon going to make us forget all about his football career.' In related news, future NFL Hall of Famer and Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning, the only player chosen ahead of Leaf in the 1998 draft, walked off with $250 million in a complex Monaco heist so perfect it will take casino owners weeks to realize it happened at all. 
2	Trump Declares All Out War On Obama After Doing THIS To Him Obamas speech is receiving endless criticism. Sure enough, Trump is there to add the fire. First, Trump blasted Obama for calling ISIS, ISIL. Seriously, who calls ISIS ISIL? Is that all there is? We need a new President FAST! He also noted that Obama failed to every use the words, radical Islamic terrorists. Its as if hes trying to avoid the subject all together. Well, Obama refused to say (he just cant say it), that we are at WAR with RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISTS. Other GOP candidates followed Trump in a bombardment against Obama. He really is the worst president we have ever had. Should Trump replace Obama as president? 
1	After years of trying to deny the obvious and fit in with other downtown establishments, area bar Mad Hatters finally came out as gay this week, shocking hundreds of residents who thought they knew the Seattle tavern. Mad Hatters owner Greg Peterson, who delivered the brave announcement to friends, family members, and regular patrons Friday night, said that admitting his bar was gay was one of the hardest things he's ever had to do. 'From the very first day we opened, I could sense there was something different about my bar,' Peterson said. 'At first, I thought the paisley wallpaper and infused-vodka martinis was just a phase the business was going throughthat whatever was happening inside Mad Hatters would eventually pass. But it never did. That feeling never went away.' Added Peterson, 'We're here. We're queer. We offer excellent happy-hour specials every night of the week.' While he now feels a tremendous sense of relief, Peterson said that he spent the first few years managing Mad Hatters the way he thought other 'normal' bars were run. Large television screens broadcasting football games were hung from the walls, Guinness and Budweiser were served by the pint, and in 2003, a weekly Ladies' Night was awkwardly instituted. Still, Peterson said, everything Mad Hatters tried felt forced and unnatural. Relieved patrons felt free to express themselves at the recently outed bar Friday night. 'The more I tried to fight the truth, the more I realized just how different Mad Hatters was from those Irish pubs and sports bars down the street,' Peterson said. 'I can't tell you the number of dartboards I bought thinking it would change the types of people we were attracting. It's embarrassing, but I even considered changing our name to Stallone's at one point.' 'To think of all those years I refused to get a karaoke machine because of how it might make us look,' Peterson continued. When asked why he waited so long to have his bar come out, Peterson said he was afraid people would treat Mad Hatters differently once they discovered the truth. In addition, Peterson reportedly worried that the news might make some customers uncomfortable or even embarrassed to be seen around the bar. Despite his worries, Mad Hatters has so far received overwhelming support from neighboring establishments, with representatives from the Green Apple Diner calling the decision courageous, and managers from a nearby Rite Aid claiming they're 'totally cool with whatever Mad Hatters wants to be, or is, or whatever.' In fact, many residents who have known the bar since their high school days said that Mad Hatters' announcement came as no surprise. 'It's about time,' said University of Washington sophomore Dale Stephenson. 'I don't know who Mad Hatters thought it was fooling, but I'm glad the whole charade is finally over. Seriously, that place was so gay, it practically had a sign out front.' Stephenson, who cited the bar's interest in fashionable decor, its tidy appearance, and the fact that Madonna was always playing on the jukebox as 'dead giveaways,' wasn't alone in his suspicions. 'I've only been to Mad Hatters a couple of times, but I always got the feeling that something weird was going on there,' resident Frank Klein said. 'One time I saw two guys kissing in the bathroom, but I somehow convinced myself that they were just drunk. Now that I think about it, though, the whole thing makes perfect sense.' Since coming out, Mad Hatters has inspired other closeted businesses to reveal the truth about themselves, including an after-hours nightclub, two local parks, and 13 area hair salons. While proud of the difference his bar has made, Peterson said that his newly liberated gay business has been hurt by those closest to it. 'As long Mad Hatters is under my roof, it'll do as I say,' said financial investor and building landlord Michael Weinstein. 'Either that damn bar gets its act together, or it can pack up and move out. No property of mine is going to turn out queer.' Although many of the bars regulars transitioned easily into the new atmosphere, some have refused to have anything to do with Mad Hatters since the announcement. 'Goddamn gay bars taking over everything,' former patron Dennis Averill said upon hearing the news. 'All I want is a normal bar where I can get a beer, watch the game, hang out with no one but men, and maybe get jerked off by a 19-year-old twink in a Dolce & Gabbana tank top before last call. Is that so much to ask?'

3	Who OWNS the Weather?By Catherine J. Frompovich As far back as the 1960s, we have documentation that controlling the weather was a priority quest. Furthermore, what did former Secretary of Defense William Cohen [Jan 1997-Jan 2001; Bill Clinton Administration] know about electromagnetic waves and how they interacted with weather geoengineering when he supposedly said, Others are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through use of electromagnetic waves. From the Executive Summary of the U.S. Air Force 52-page Report Owning the Weather in 2025: Weather as a force multiplier, this: In 2025, US aerospace forces can own the weather by capitalizing on emerging technologies and focusing development of those technologies to war-fighting applications. Such a capability offers the war fighter tools to shape the battlespace in ways never before possible. It provides opportunities to impact operations across the full spectrum of conflict and is pertinent to all possible futures. The purpose of this paper is to outline a strategy for the use of a future weather-modification system to achieve military objectives rather than to provide a detailed technical road map. A high-risk, high-reward endeavor, weather-modification offers a dilemma not unlike the splitting of the atom. While some segments of society will always be reluctant to examine controversial issues such as weather-modification, the tremendous military capabilities that could result from this field are ignored at our own peril. From enhancing friendly operations or disrupting those of the enemy via small-scale tailoring of natural weather patterns to complete dominance of global communications and counterspace control, weather-modification offers the war fighter a wide-range of possible options to defeat or coerce an adversary. Some of the potential capabilities a weather-modification system could provide to a war-fighting commander in chief (CINC) are listed in table 1. Technology advancements in five major areas are necessary for an integrated weather-modification capability: (1) advanced nonlinear modeling techniques, (2) computational capability, (3) information gathering and transmission, (4) a global sensor array, and (5) weather intervention techniques. Some intervention tools exist today and others may be developed and refined in the future. In the United States, weather-modification will likely become a part of national security policy with both domestic and international applications. Our government will pursue such a policy, depending on its interests, at various levels. These levels could include unilateral actions, participation in a security framework such as NATO, membership in an international organization such as the UN, or participation in a coalition. Assuming that in 2025 our national security strategy includes weather-modification, its use in our national military strategy will naturally follow. Besides the significant benefits an operational capability would provide, another motivation to pursue weather-modification is to deter and counter potential adversaries. [2] However, was the military satisfied to leave weather geoengineering only for the battlefield? Apparently not, as we can see in the skies above our heads and the weather anomalies, including EMF waves, on various NOAA and other aerial satellite maps published at www.geoengineerigwatch.org [3] Heres the February 2012 proposed budget Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Justification Book Volume 1 Research, Development, Test Evaluation, Defense-Wide [4], which apparently pays for wreaking devastating weather havoc on lives, homes, farms, crops and cattle, rivers, wetlands, and even countries! [4] When will insurance companies, farmers, cattle ranchers, the media and citizens wake up to whats going on above our very heads, done under the guise of defense and national security, which is ruining lives and economies? Have you experienced whats called the chemtrail cough [5-6]? A hacking that you cant get rid of for months and your doctor doesnt know what to do for it? Theres even chemtrail flu. [7] This YouTube video explains more than the new world order controllers apparently want us to know. Even tornadoes probably are being geoengineered, as has been stated by researchers! [8] In 2013 the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory embarked upon a campaign to produce the densest artificial plasma clouds using HAARP, the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program, operated out of Gakona, Alaska. [9] There is a network of HAARPs in numerous countries around the globe. What does that tell you about conspiracies? They are REAL, alive, thriving and being pulled off by government agencies and military planes too. Shouldnt we, who are affected by geoengineered weather, start demanding answers from those in government and government agencies as to whats going on, why and whos paying for it? Shouldnt citizens start filing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests with various government agencies asking about weather geoengineering, as it is technically known? Arent we constantly overwhelmed by the latest weather reports and/or catastrophes, which gagged weather readers on TV screens, radio and elsewhere are trying to make us believe are normal Acts of God? However, shouldnt they be a little more humble and remember, You dont eff with Mother Nature, and get away with it. Remember these weather events, and shouldnt we question what role the weather geoengineers played in orchestrating them: The true severity of the drought in the west is not accurately reflected in the drought monitorrdquo;[sic] map above. The actual conditions on the ground are much much [sic] worse as California has been descending into ever worsening drought for 7 years now. This season to date there has been no significant rain at all. [12] Spring planting season is coming soon; how will it be affected by toxic weather spraying, man-made torrential rains and tornadoes? As I write this, parts of the State of Louisiana are under water. [13] A record-setting rise in the rivers of Louisiana! Will weather catastrophes make less food available and at higher food prices? Can you plant your own food garden this year? Plant non-GMO seeds, if you do. Its time to get our heads out of the sand and realize whats going on. Wake up and see the chemtrailstechnologys poison clouds. Maybe this video can help you clear the cobwebs out of your mind about some things.

Nature can and will strike back. My question was how is it other humans can not see that? As fas as I am concerned, there is no longer any us or them. Humanity is of one race, the human race. We are all us. I know other humans have different views. For other humans to act so psychotic makes me feel sad. Would that it in my ability to change their actions and creating that change was a moral, ethical action, I would do so. Unfortunately such is not in my control. What I may control is my perceptions about it. This life, unfair as it may seem to me, may be fair in the fullest as some repayment. I say this not being fatalistic, rather accepting as a matter of practicality and sanity. What will be, will be. I may only control what is my realm, only, I cannot control the actions of other humans. Dont expect the worthless latte sipping scone eating EPA to do anything about it guess they dont ever look up or breath (more taxpayer waste).

He has always been an advocate of Cubas Communist, progressive government. This man once again shows his disrespect of America by refusing to remove his hat during the Star Spangled Banner. We speak for everyone when we say that Michael Moore should leave American and never come back. Do you think this horrible influence should be removed from our great country? 
2	100% Could See The First Tiger, But Only 5% Could Find The Second. Can YOU Find The Hidden Tiger? Tigers stripes are meant to camouflage. As a predator, they need to blend in with the jungle environment so that their prey cannot spot them, as they pounce in for the kill! Thats why this tiger can be almost impossible to find in this picture! In a survey done with this picture, 100% of people could find the first tiger. But the second proved much harder, and less than 10 of the 100 subjects could spot it! Take your time and study the picture. How many tigers did you find? You might be mad when you see the answer was right in front of you the entire time. The picture was done by Donald Rusty Rust. Rusty is known for illusions, and Hidden TEXT within pictures (hint hint). If you give up, scroll down below. Once you see it, you wont be able to unsee it!

1	Former Browns long-snapper Wes Hardigree, 38, took advantage of the lovely autumn weather Wednesday afternoon, picking up his 8-year-old son Ben from school and long-snapping the ball around the backyard of their suburban Cleveland home. 'It's just a perfect Norman Rockwell scenefall colors, crisp air, the low late light, the glow of Ben's red cheeks, and me looking at it all upside-down between my legs as I get ready to long-snap the ball 12 yards to my boy,' Hardigree said. 'And when I can pop the old pigskin right into his little hands, well, that's what life's all about.' 'Days like these, I'm not ashamed to say that a tear of happiness sometimes rolls right up my forehead,' Hardigree added. Hardigree also took the time to work with Ben's childish and shaky but slowly improving long-snapping stance, marveling at how quickly his son was learning to long-snap. 'His first snaps weren't what anyone would call 'long' at all, but he's growing so fast. It seems like it was just this summer when his stance didn't even come up to my knee,' said Hardigree, who insists that, despite serving as a third-string center for two seasons, he will always be a long-snapper in his heart. 'I don't even know when it happened, but the ball doesn't even hit him in the legs anymore. My God, next thing you know he'll be trying out as a long-snapper in high school.' 'Hey, whoah, don't force it there, big guy! That one nearly took my head off!' Hardigree said as one of his son's wobbly long-snaps glanced off his shins. 'Give the old man a break! You don't even know your own strength!' Like many fathers, Hardigree admits he sees a lot of himself in his boy, saying the temptation to live vicariously through his son's long-snapping must be overcome. 'He may be my son, but he's still very much his own little guy, and he had to discover for himself that he's a long-snapper through and through,' Hardigree said. 'When the wife and I went away for our anniversary, Ben stayed with a holder I used to work with. After a week of placing the football vertically on the ground, spinning it so the laces were forward, and then waiting for it to be kicked, he decided that long-snapper was the job for him.' Hardigree said he was 'blessed' to have been an NFL long-snapper during eight of what he claims were the Browns' glory long-snapping years of the mid-1990s, when he worked alongside Browns special-teams greats, making dozens of long-snaps to some of the biggest names in Browns punting history. 'Being a long-snapper might not get you on the field a lot, but you'll always have a job, and you get to watch a lot of great football,' Hardigree said. 'You can't blame me for wanting that for Benevery dad wants the best for his kid, after all. And from where I'm bending over, being one of the top 32 long-snappers in the world is the best thing there is.' 'It's okay,' Ben said later. 'Dad's great. My face gets all red from being upside down, though. And Dad says when I'm old enough he's going to start running into me right after I snap the ball. And I wish he wouldn't yell at me so much when I ask him if someday he'll teach me how to throw and catch a football.' 
1	Stressing that it would be really good to get there by Saturday afternoon, the U.S. Secretary of Needing Transportation issued a formal request Monday stating that he would 'be happy' to tag along on any potential weekend trips to Tucson. Addressing the nation from the department's headquarters in his friend Brad's living room, Needing Transportation Secretary Kevin explained the importance of leaving for Arizona by noon on Saturday at the latest. 'I realize that this department has been hitting the nation up for rides a lot lately, but in times of adversity like these I know I can count on the American people to pull together and do me a real solid,' Secretary Kevin said. 'See, my cousin Jeff's band is playing this gig at Seor Ja-Ja's on Saturday, and he said I could probably do a guest set if I wanted, so any assistance at all would be appreciated. But only if you're heading to Tucson anyway, of course.' Added Kevin, 'I offer my solemn promise to all interested parties that this would totally be worth your while.' Established in 1972 with the mission of finding transportation alternatives for its inaugural secretary, Mike, the DNT has secured more than 20,000 rides for various department officials over the years. 'I know this request is totally last minute, and that [Deputy Secretary] Doug already called on the American people to pick him up from that bogus party last Friday night,' Kevin said. 'But this is a Department of Needing Transportation emergency. Code 5 stuff we're talking about here.' In addition to allocating a 'few bucks' to offset gasoline costs, Kevin promised potential ride-givers that the department would totally cover the cost of an Arby's Beef 'n Cheddar sandwich at any passing rest stop. Hoping to secure the deal, Kevin then began to call on several Arizona residents by name. 'Peter Dunston of Mesa: I know your brother lives outside Tucson, so if you happen to be heading that way, the department would be very indebted to you for your service,' Kevin said. 'Plus, if you were interested in catching my set, I could, in my capacity as a government official, speak to the club's owner about, you know, maybe comping you in.' Secretary Kevin also appealed to member of the U.S. Congress, including Reps. Ral Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona's 7th and 8th Districts, to make a commitment toward 'hitting [him] back on the karma' for any favors he has done them in the past. Kevin added that if members of Congress wanted to make this a 'full-on road trip,' they could take Grijalva's Buick LeSabre and possibly bring along a cooler for 'food and beer and whatever else.' Department officials noted that any difficulties finding lodging for the proposed trip would likely be minimal, as the secretary 'had some old colleagues that might still live out near Tucson,' and that, if said options fell through, prospective ride-givers could always just pack some blankets and pillows and 'sleep out under the stars.' According to sources, the situation would be a lot easier if the Department of Providing a Couch to Crash On were not presently headquartered in Pittsburgh. 'As an added incentive, the Department will be supplying a fully functioning Sony Discman with an adapter for cassette tape players,' Secretary Kevin told reporters. 'This Discman would permit us to chill out the whole ride, grabbing some tunes while we take in the sights. This sounds like a cool way to spend a weekend to me.' Added Kevin, 'So, my fellow Americans, what do you say?' Kevin added that he can be reached at Brad's house until 7 p.m. or so, after which he will be working at Stokley's liquor store. 
2	After Orlando Massacre We Need To Hear This Holocaust Survivors 4 Minute Speech To Obamas Gun Control At the age of 84, Katie Worthman is coming forward with a very important message for America: do not let history repeat itself. Worthman survived Hitlers Germany, and endured the Soviet occupation. She can tell us first-hand what life was like under those regimes. According to the survivor, she sees some disturbing similarities in the policies of Barack Obama and Adolf Hitler, and she wants to make sure the American public recognizes them too. In 1938, the media reported that Hitler rode into Austria with tanks and guns and took us over, Worthman claims in an eye-opening video. Not true at all. The Austrian people elected Hitler by 98% of the vote by means of the ballot box. Now you might ask how could a Christian nationelect a monster like Hitler. The truth is at the beginning, Hitler didnt look like or talk like a monster at all. He talked like an American politician. She then focused in specifically on the issue of gun control. All the Austrian peoplehad guns, she continued. But the government said, the guns are very dangerous. Children are playing with guns. Hunting accidents happen and we really have to have total controlled safety. And we had criminals again. And the only way that we can trace the criminal was by the serial number of the gun. So we dutifully went to the police station and we registered our guns. The story doesnt stop there. Not long after they said, No, it didnt help, Worthman continued. The only way that we wont have accidents and crimes is you bring the guns to the police station and then we dont have any crimes anymore and any accidents. And if you dont do that: capital punishment. According to Worthman, the dictatorship that we recognize today in Nazi Germany actually took five years to establish, escalating gradually. When the people fear the government, thats tyranny. But when the government fears the peoplethats liberty. Keep your guns, she concludes in the video. Keep your guns and buy more guns. 
1	Curious about his fellow urinator's penis, restaurant patron Dennis Munro rolled his eyeballs far to the left Monday in the hope of surreptitiously glimpsing the flaccid male organ of a man at an adjacent urinal. Pretending to focus intently on a square of white ceramic tile directly in front of him, Munro managed to crane his head very slightly to the left, which, combined with his extreme leftward eyeball positioning, afforded him a brief but clear glimpse of the four-inch-long neighboring penis. Experts believe the heterosexual Munro was acting upon an evaluative impulse, hoping to see a fellow male's penis for purposes of comparing it to his own. 
3	Poll: 2016 is the Year Americans Stopped Trusting the Establishment, Especially the MediaBy Claire Bernish After mainstream media coverage of the massacre in Orlando on Sunday largely failed to dig further after multiple witnesses came forward suggesting more than one attacker was involved, that lack of trust seems logical. While trust in media crashed by 10 percent newspapers hit their lowest confidence rating since 2007, at 20 percent other institutions fared significantly worse. Confidence in banks, which tumbled dramatically following the financial crisis of 2008, plummeted by 22 percent the largest loss of any institution Gallup surveyed from 49 percent in 2006, to just 27 percent ten years later. Virtually no one has faith in Congress anymore, as the notorious legislative body nose-dived by 10 percent to a paltry 9 percent. Congress has the ignominious distinction of being the only institution sparking little or no confidence in a majority of Americans, Gallup noted. Both the Supreme Court and organized labor experienced only minor drops in public confidence. Overall trust in institutions fell by 6 percent over the last decade, and though the aforementioned results match the cynicism so permeating the United States in 2016, several results might come as a surprise. Despite endlessly questionable foreign policy maneuvers, confidence in the presidency grew by 3 points from 33 percent in 2006, to 36 percent now. On the same note, Americans trust of the military neither lost nor gained, instead remaining the most positively-viewed institution on the list, hands down at an overwhelming 73 percent. Theoretically, the publics response might reflect the enormously successful Support the Troops propaganda campaign, or even a perception the military acts as a defensive body, though such details were beyond the scope of Gallups poll. Perhaps most alarming to anyone paying even cursory attention to the epidemic of police killings and incidents of brutality and violence, over the past decade public confidence in police remains comparatively high falling just 2 percentage points to 56 percent. Congruous with growing awareness the United States incarcerates more people than any other nation on the planet with 5 percent of the worlds population, but 25 percent of the worlds prison population confidence in the criminal justice system fell 2 points to 23 percent. Public schools lost ground, possibly due to ongoing contention over the Common Core program, plunging from 37 percent confidence rating to 30 percent in ten years. Americans also lost faith in faith. Overall confidence in church or organized religion slid significantly over the decade, from 52 percent to just 41 percent. As Gallup summarized, Americans clearly lack confidence in the institutions that affect their daily lives: the schools responsible for educating the nations children; the houses of worship that are expected to provide spiritual guidance; the banks that are supposed to protect Americans earnings; the U.S. Congress elected to represent the nations interests; and the news media that claims it exists to keep them informed. Perhaps, as has been suggested by countless activists and independent media outlets, including The Free Thought Project, the U.S. would be far better off if everyone turned off corporate media for good, stopped validating the broken system by voting for either evil this November, and began to find solutions outside the narrative provided by the government apparently no one trusts. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. THE 1ST. 2ND. AMENDMENTS ARE A REAL BOTHER TO THE WHITE RICH FASCIST NEOCONS. FIGHT TO THE DEATH TO PRESERVE THEM COME ELECTION/TAKE-OVER DAY. The Orlando thing was staged. Lots of good videos now on youtube showing crisis actors. YOU know why theyre doing it. you mean vilejews Whatever. Those statistics from Gallup are fabrication, lies, and really, those numbers mean absolutely nothing. nada, zilch. I cant even be bothered to read this entire stupid article. Seriously waste of time looking at those polls. Wow, you media collaborators really got the butthurt over this, huh? Well maybe if you Wall Street presstitute scumbags would report the facts instead of lying to promote government agendas, you wouldnt be looked upon like the Vichy traitors that you are FAIL. I am not your bogeyman. Every statement you made is incorrect if you meant that to pertain to me. Youre defending the governments point of view. The government wants to enslave me, which makes it my enemy. The friend of my enemy is also my enemy. Every statement I made IS correct, youre just a coward who cant admit that youre a government bootlicker Wow, you media collaboratorsperhaps you mean Gallup? Polls are taken by those who want to influence the sheeples thinking. True that! Unless great pains are taken to NOT lead with the questions OR with answer choices, polls always skew truth because questions are skewed in favor of something or other or choices to answer are limited to what the pollsters want to show a percentage on. Its all junk social engineering trickery. I despise those dumb phone call surveys who refuse to allow you to answer anything OTHER THAN choices offered. They usually do that nonsense with political candidates. I hang up on them. Leaving polls aside, whats your overall opinion of the corporate controlled Main Stream Media, Congress and the other institutions written about in this article? Polls aside, do you believe the American peoples faith in their institutions has been and is dwindling? Or is there no way of roughly gauging it? My opinion is that our entire modern society is twisted so badly from any semblance of truth and reality that you can grab whatever topic you want and find it corrupted to the point of uselessness. Every institution, political office, corporatized news outlets, and even some truthers are also complicit. Churches are apostate and men of God are pedophiles, thieves, con-men or whatever. They preach an ear-tickling gospel that benefits only hellfires while they pad their own bank accounts with donations and offerings. Scientists are bald-faced liars also and have zero credibility because fantasy is not science. Most are atheists and that is the height of stupid. I cannot believe anything falling from the mouth of one who believes that we evolved from rock soup jazzed up with a few amino acids. Just read with a critical eye some of their persistent nonsense and corporate-paid research. Not truth. Agenda to get YOU TO BELIEVE what benefits them. However, I do believe many are waking up and their distrust is quite warranted. It is foolish to believe a known liar. I think this simple principle is what is being touted here. As for numbers to generate a percentage, that is not going to happen because I am not alone in my distancing from this modern society. The best way to generate your own numbers to go out and ASK PEOPLE. Strike up casual friendly conversations through out your day with strangers. I do that. That is why I say that I know of NO ONE who supports Hillary Clinton. Ive asked so many people Ive lost count: older Christian white men, younger men, rural blacks, poor people, well off people, LGBT people, hetero, moms, older sisters my mail carrier, those at gas stations, in Walmarts, at the hardware store and at the farmers market and so on. A pretty diverse section of labels. Everyone HATES THAT VILLAIN. Yet our media keeps telling us Hillary has supporters. She does, those already in the halls of power who do not vote and never get around people like me because I am just a nobody living out in fly-over country. Ill stick with my own polled results from people with a face and real flesh and blood and not something off the Internet that could be a bot or algorithm or some other digital deception. So yeah, all this is just idiotic games to keep on keeping on this ugly status quo that benefits only a select few. These polls tell more about why they were taken than the results they intend to show. it does not matter what is in the book or the amendment, because the RKM and that is OBAMAS controllers, they dont respect America, the world knows that the American people are really trying to wake up, so we must give them a chance, and I know that there are Americans out there that know that their military are killing innocent Civilians everywhere they go, and that is why the US government want to get World War Three started before all of their people wake up big time. I am still having arguments with morons who believed the church shooting actually took place!!!!! Now Im going to have to argue with them on this play acting with phony victims. Geesh.will they EVER WAKE UP? No. They will have a heart attack over whos using which toilet however. 1970 for me but better late than never for the rest of you. Great, glad to hear it. The MSM is a bunch of fools follwoing the scripts/narratives they have been given by the established special interest ie; gold collar scum owners. 33 People have no faith in any current form of recognized authority and yet, every day, we give up our own sovereignty to them. Why is that? Society as a whole suffers from Stockholm Syndrome. Authoritarian Followers Syndrome. You have a bunch of parasites running your country and they keep you under control by fear and their robot police force who do not have brains to think.

2	BREAKING: Gay Couples In Texas Just Lost Their Right To Get Married In Texas Last week, the Supreme Court caused nationwide debate when they determined that same-sex marriage is a Constitutional right and is therefore legal throughout the United States. Liberals, of course, broke out in celebration. However some conservative states are pushing back against the measure. According to reports, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has determined that country clerks are able to refuse to perform same-sex ceremonies if it violates their religious beliefs. While this defies the Supreme Courts ruling, it protects the rights of Christians. Paxton claims that numerous lawyers stand ready to assist clerks defending their religious beliefs should anyone face any trouble. Paxton criticized the courts ruling as well, stating that the United States Supreme Court again ignored the text and spirit of the Constitution to manufacture a right that simply does not exist. In so doing, the court weakened itself and weakened the rule of law, but did nothing to weaken our resolve to protect religious liberty and return to democratic self-government in the face of judicial activists attempting to tell us how to live, Paxton stated. The reach of the courts opinion stops at the door of the First Amendment and our laws protecting religious liberty. What do you think of Paxtons actions? Do you support him in his stand against the Supreme Courts ruling?

2	Harris Faulkner SLAMS Kaepernick For Being A Hypocrite In Incredible Speech [VIDEO] San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick outraged patriots everywhere when he refused to stand for the National Anthem this month. When confronted by reporters, the football player insisted that he could not stand for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. Since then, he has doubled down on that message, and was even spotted wearing socks with the images of pigs in cop uniforms. Well, Harris Faulkner had some choice words for Kaepernick during a recent segment, and they are definitely worth hearing. Where was he when the domestic violence cries were going on within the NFL? Faulkner pressed. He doesnt want to stand for women, sit for women, do anything for women? Hes gotta pick a category that goes with a hashtag. I live in this brown skin, Im also a woman, if hes gonna pick some causes be consistent! Faulkner makes an excellent point. Its clear that Kaepernick is somehow trying to make himself relevant again and get his name in the headlines. What do you think? Is Kaepernick completely pathetic? 
1	In a daring midnight raid Monday, Peru's Tupac Amaru rebels seized control of their lives, determining clear goals for their futures and turning their dreams into reality through positive-minded conceptualization techniques. Tupac Amaru rebels enjoy the company of some new friends after seizing control of their lives with an extraordinary new set of motivational cassette tapes. The seizure is considered by international motivational strategists to be a devastating blow to Peruvian president Albert Fujimori, long seen as a major threat to the Peruvian rebels' self-esteem and ability to grow emotionally. 'With this defiant act, we, the Tupac Amaru rebels, have taken major strides toward freeing ourselves from self-defeating patterns of behavior, mastering our minds and unlocking our true potential, all by following the four-part SUCcesS plan,' group leader Nestor Cerpa said in an underground radio broadcast Monday. 'First, we Saw our goals, visualizing our new lives of financial independence and self-realization. Second, we Utilized our skills to eliminate fears and success-blocking thoughts. Third, we Committed ourselves to following our individual success path. And fourth, we Showed our willingness to remodel our lives and become the people we want to be by purchasing all 12 Amazing Power! motivational audio cassettes in just four easy payments.' Within four to six weeks, the Peruvian rebels will begin to see the positive effects of motivational speaker Rich Somers' wildly popular Amazing Power! audio lecture series in their own lives, transporting them to an exciting new world of wealth, happiness and political power, sources say. Testimonials to the effectiveness of the rebels' new strategic approach were provided earlier this week by Miguel Alvaro, a former Shining Path rebel who grew up dirt-poor on a sugarcane farm but now owns a chain of tanning salons throughout California and recently purchased his dream home in Honolulu, Hawaii. 'It's true. This amazing success formula really works,' Alvaro said in a pre-recorded segment. 'I used to be afraid that I lacked the charisma and looks necessary to attract the opposite sex,' said Alvaro, flanked by swimwear-clad young women. 'But thanks to this incredible new audio cassette offer, I have the confidence I need to get what I want out of life.' Experts believe that it is only a matter of time before the Peruvian rebels actualize their goals, using the power of positive thinking to overthrow the Fujimori regime and establish broad-based Marxist rule throughout Peru. Herb Wahlbeck, infomercial host for Amazing Power!, agreed. 'Boy, now that those rebels down in Peru have started the complete Rich Somers motivational program, I'll just bet we start seeing loads of their jailed comrades freed. And redistribution of wealth and land reform are right around the corner for Peru. Why? Because that's what Amazing Power! is all about.' Wahlbeck explained that by setting goals, visualizing success and then making that success happen, Tupac Amaru forces had already made Amazing Power! work for them. Turning to a nearby camera, he added, 'And it can work for you, too.' Wahlbeck then advised reporters to dial the number at the bottom of their screen, and to have a Visa or MasterCard ready before ordering. 'For years, we have lived a life of struggle, hiding from the government in secret bases in the Andes mountains, fighting for survival against the superior military strength of our oppressors,' Cerpa said. 'But from this day forth we shall triumph, secure in the knowledge that our personal confidence has been boosted, our outlook is positive-minded, and our dreams are within our reach.' Cerpa also claimed to have quit smoking, lost 50 pounds and taken nine hostages since ordering the series. Despite the incredible effectiveness of Amazing Power!, Peruvian military leaders are confident that all rebel efforts will be suppressed. 'Peru's elite national guard is among the most self-actualized, excellence-focused armies in the world,' General Jorge Vasmos said in a prepared statement. 'Ever since we ordered Tony Downs' Make It Happen! motivational cassettes, our soldiers have crushed literally dozens of coup attempts. They have unlocked the ability to not only open fire, but also open their minds.' 
1	Leading writers, scholars, and publishers gathered this week at Fordham University for a literary conference and panel discussion on God, the widely praised but reclusive deity who has not published a book since His landmark debut 2,000 years ago. Hailed by critics as one of the most important authors in recent millennia, the eccentric divinity is said to have long ago retreated from the public eye, eschewing a life of celebrity for one of solitude and quiet. To this day, experts confirmed, His artistic reputation rests exclusively upon His bestselling and highly acclaimed first work, the Bible. God has granted no interviews, made no public appearances, and kept entirely to Himself for what seems like ages, and yet its fair to say that no other author has been quite so influential, said noted critic and conference attendee James Wood, observing that while the fiercely private immortal being has only one book to His credit, He remains among the worlds most respected and quoted writers. For many readers, Gods writing had a transformative impact on their lives, and countless people list His book among their favorite titles. But for reasons that we can only speculate about, God has chosen to stay out of the limelight and let His words speak for themselves. Perhaps it is Gods retreat into His own world that allowed Him to render His vision so vividly on the page. Its also possible that, with the first book, He simply said everything He had to say, Wood continued. Though one would think a writer of such impressive knowledge and power would never lack for inspiration. Many within the literary community suggested that God might well have become a victim of His own success, arguing that the enormous pressure to write a book as well-loved as the Bibleto which any new work of His would inevitably be comparedhad simply proved too daunting. Regardless of His reasons, experts agreed that the Supreme Beings public absence had only added to His mystique. According to publishers, who predict that the Bible will remain in print for many years to come, the popularity of the famously secretive deity remains so high that just about anything new He released would be an instant commercial success. Certainly in the book business weve been wondering for a very long time what Hes been up to, whether or not Hes still writing, said publishing executive Sandra Eakins, who brushed aside concerns that a lackluster follow-up to the Bible might damage Gods reputation. Maybe He writes for His own pleasure and has no desire to publish anything new. I can respect that, but at the same time, its a tragedy for His readers. Wed absolutely love to see more stories, psalms, epistlesanything He has, Eakins continued. In His first book, He created this dense, sprawling, multifaceted universe, and there are readers out there clamoring to know whats happened to all those characters since the Bible ended. Eakins said the Lord Almighty retains an incredibly loyal international readership and, to this day, His writing continues to attract legions of devotees. Since the time of the Bibles first publication, when God was heralded by critics as a promising new talent, successive generations of booklovers have reportedly found themselves returning again and again to what they regard as a timeless and enduring classic. Many of Gods most ardent fans still make regular attempts to contact Him, sources said, despite the fact that the reclusive being is infamous for never responding. Its understandably very difficult for people to accept that a deity could create an epic as complex, beautiful, strange, and enduring as the Bible, and then just stop writing altogethercutting off all ties and making Himself completely inaccessible, said Professor Charles Boutwell, a panelist at the conference and a self-proclaimed admirer of the God of Heaven and Earth. However, the qualities that make God so mysterious to us are the very same qualities that make Him such a unique voice. Its natural to want more, Boutwell added. But in the end, maybe God only had the one Bible in him. 
1	As part of a formal appeal to lift his lifetime ban from baseball, sources confirmed Wednesday that former Cincinnati Reds star Pete Rose offered new MLB commissioner Rob Manfred a lower vig on an upcoming boxing match between Emanuel Lopez and Carlos Padilla. I deeply apologize for tarnishing the integrity of Major League Baseball, but if I am reinstated, I will never disrespect the game of baseball again, and I can also get you some sweet action on this Saturdays Lopez-Padilla fight, if youre interested, read an excerpt of the petition, which went on to say that Rose could get Manfred in on the ground floor with a good friend taking bets on the upcoming WBA Super Featherweight World Championship bout. Look, this is an offer I wouldnt extend to just anybody, but if you can get me ten large by Friday, I can pull some strings to lower the juice, plus cut your wager in before the opening line. And Lopez is a sure thingjust trust me on that. Rose added that, if reinstated, he hopes to someday be elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in order to cash in big on a few longstanding wagers. 
2	Barack Obama Was Just Caught Lying About His Childhood... What He has Told The Public Is Not True In his last term as President, Barack Obama has yet to answer some serious questions about his background and upbringing. Many Americans feel that Obama is lying about his origin and his faith. Ive always been a Christian, Obama maintained in December. The only connection Ive had to Islam is that my grandfather on my fathers side came from that country [Kenya]. But Ive never practiced Islam. In February, Obama made similar statements, claiming that he has never been a Muslim other than [his] name and the fact that I lived in a populous Muslim country for 4 years when [he] was a child. Still, there have been questions raised about Obamas biographical history that remain unanswered. Questions about Obamas Kenyan birth father, his Indonesian family, documents enrolling Obama in Catholic school as a Muslim, his own account of Koranic studies, forged documents and more. What do you think? Is Obama still lying to us about his true identity?

He also lambasted magazines with pages so glossy that they're unreadable, and his wife's inability to gyrate and speak in a sexy manner during intercourse. 'I've had it,' Kingery told an assembled crowd of 2,000 at the State Capitol. 'And I plan to drive legislation through the State Assembly to take action on these injustices.' Gov. Kingery later recanted the statements, admitting he was 'coked to the gills' at the time. 
1	Top Cabinet officials are up in arms about the allegations of widespread steroid use made by former Secretary of State Colin Powell in his new political tell-all Pumped: Living Fast, Loose, And On The Juice During My Tumultuous DC DaysAnd Nights. Appearing on <I>Meet The Press</I>, Powell answers questions about his controversial new book (below). 'I'm gonna get it from all sides for violating the code of silence in the Players Wing,' Powell wrote in the book's introduction. 'A lot of people out there don't want to know why a politician suddenly gets big. Well, I hate to break it to you, but it ain't always through able policy-drafting.' In the book, Powell paints a picture of a commander-in-chief who not only permitted, but encouraged the use of performance-enhancing drugs, and an attorney general whose buttocks were knotted with gristle from daily injections of equine growth serum. Powell neither denies nor goes into great detail about his own steroid use. 'I won't deny that I tried itthe stuff was everywhere, especially during the early days,' one passage reads. 'But I was blessed with certain natural gifts that, combined with my extensive military training, made steroid use largely unnecessary for me.' Powell alleges that during the early days of Operation Enduring Freedom, 80 percent of Bush's Cabinet was abusing steroids. 'The signs were right there, if anyone had cared to pay attention,' Powell said. 'The bursts of foul-mouthed rage from Cheney... The sudden emergence of Donald Rumsfeld as a major-league heavy hitter in Defense... And how anyone overlooked Condi's pop-eyed, clench-jawed grimace, I'll never know. She was shooting up with synthetic testosterone every six hoursmore on Cabinet-meeting days.' Powell argues that tremendous pressure to perform is at the root of steroid abuse among Washington insiders. 'Say you're a politician who's a success in your home state,' Powell wrote. 'You run for Senate. Bang! Suddenly you're in Washington, mixing it up in the big leagues, and let me tell you, it's a whole different world. You have to hustle harder and work longer just to keep up. You wanna be at the top of the heap? Well, we're all the best of the best and we're all putting in 110 percent every day. A lot of guys will do anything to get a Washington Post headline, and yeah, that includes juicing.' Powell said the pressure gets worse as politicians move up the ladder. 'All eyes are on youPAC lobbyists are turning up the heat, millions of faithful constituents are watching C-SPAN,' Powell wrote. 'Take a Cabinet appointee, someone who hasn't even worked his way up through the ranks. Ashcroft, say. The pressure's 10 times worse on a poor sucker like him. If he doesn't swing for the fences, he's failed at the biggest game there is, and there's no such thing as lateral movement in Govvy Town. You're out. Some guys, guys who have been at the top their entire lives, can't take the idea of failure.' According to Powell, White House officials wouldn't abuse politics-enhancing substances if the people in charge didn't push them to do so. 'Okay, I'm gonna come right out and say it,' Powell said. 'The Big Guy's the one running the show, right from the Oval Office. Let's say your provisions to the Patriot Act are striking out, or you put your foot in your mouth at a press conference. You can expect a little visit. Not the Big Guy himself, but someone will drop by for a little chat. He'll hint that maybe you could add a step, get a little quicker, gain a little more power if you had some of Karl Rove's candy. Oh, Number One's too smart to get caught with it himself, but as sure as I'm standing here, he knows where it is and who's taking it. You better believe it.' A 2002 White House photo that might indicate Powell's steroid-related claims are true. Chris Matthews, host of the MSNBC show Hardball, argued that Powell's omissions tell more than his disclosures. 'Well, it's an interesting glimpse inside the clubhouse,' Matthews said. 'But I don't think Powell's telling us everything he knows. All this about steroid abusea thing he denied until he had a six-figure book contractand nothing about the parties, the recreational drugs, the legions of groupies? Sounds to me like Powell's choosing the one area where he was a choirboy and letting everyone else twist in the wind.' As to whether his former boss used performance enhancers, Powell offered a number of questions. 'Well, I'll let you decide,' Powell wrote. 'But you might want to ask yourself how a career-Republican bench-warmer found the weight and power to beat a giant like McCain in the '99 primaries. And then you might want to think about why his neck has bulled out so much in the past five years. Listen, I respect the man's abilities, but come on. Put two and two together, America.' 
2	Sadie Robertson Risks Her Entire Career To Publicly Defy Hillary Clinton... She Needs Your Support Recently, young role model Sadie Robertson claimed that her father, Willie Robertson, has been on the Trump train since day one. Still, she claims that she wasnt sure who she was going to support in her first election until she had the chance to look into it for herself. After some research of the two nominees, the decision was clear. I guess Im on the Trump train too now, the 19-year-old former Dancing With the Stars competitor told reporters. I just feel like I align most with his beliefs and views and I trust him. Were down to the town, Robertson continued, referring to Trump and Clinton. So its kind of time to make a stance. Robertson is not yet sure if shell be joining her dad, who spoke at the Republican National Convention last month, on the campaign trail as he supports the 70-year-old business legend. People get really into politics, which you should. You should look into it, you should care about it, butits a just kind of touchy subject, she concluded. So haters, be nice! [Im on a] no hater diet right here. What do you think of Sadies position? Do you applaud her for taking an educated stand? 
3	This Is The Biggest Cluster Of Hindenburg Omens Since The Last Stock Market CrashMichael Snyder A number of top analysts are pointing out the fact that the biggest cluster of Hindenburg Omens has appeared since the last stock market crash. And those that have studied this insist that the more Hindenburg Omens there are in a cluster, the stronger the signal is. Meanwhile, another very disturbing sign is the fact that the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries is starting to soar again. On Tuesday it shot up from 2.62% to 2.727%. As I have written about previously, the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries is the most important number in the U.S. economy right now. If that number continues to rise, it is going to be very, very bad news for the financial system. But before I discuss rising interest rates any further, I want to talk about this unusual cluster of Hindenburg Omens that we have just witnessed. In aprevious article, I shared a list of the criteria that are commonly used to determine whether a Hindenburg Omen has appeared or not 1. The daily number of NYSE new 52 Week Highs and the daily number of new 52 Week Lows mustbothbe greater than 2.2 percent of total NYSE issues traded that day. 2. The smaller of these numbers is greater than or equal to 69 (68.772 is 2.2% of 3126). This is not a rule but more like a checksum. This condition is a function of the 2.2% of the total issues. 3. That the NYSE 10 Week moving average is rising. 4. That the McClellan Oscillator ( a market breadth indicator used to evaluate the rate of money entering or leaving the market and interpretively indicate overbought or oversold conditions of the market)is negative on that same day. 5. That new 52 Week Highs cannot be more than twice the new 52 Week Lows (however it is fine for new 52 Week Lows to be more than double new 52 Week Highs). But of course this has not always happened when a Hindenburg Omen has appeared. However, what we are seeing right now is a highly concentrated cluster of Hindenburg Omens. According to SentimenTraders Jason Goepfert, the last time such a cluster appeared was before the last stock market crash Sometimes a topic in the market takes hold and its hard to shake it off. One of those is the technical market crash signal called the Hindenburg Omen. It has its boosters and its detractors, and were not going to get caught up in debating its merits. Weve discussed it for 12 years, always with the same arguments. On June 10th, we outlined the markets historical performance after suffering at least 5 signals from the Hindenburg Omen within a two-week period. Stocks were consistently weak afterward, and proved to be so again, at least for a while. With the latest market rally, the Omens are flaring up again.There have been 5 Omens triggered out of the past 8 trading sessions (your data may varywere using the same sources weve always used for historical data). Thats actually the closest-grouped cluster since early November 2007. Its extremely rare to see as many Omens occurring together as weve seen over the past 50 days. The last time was prior to the bear market in 2007. The time before that was prior to the bear market in 2000. Will the pattern hold up this time? But without a doubt we have been witnessing some very unusual activity in the markets over the past couple of weeks. In fact,according to Tyler Durden of Zero Hedge, we have now seen a Hindenburg Omen occur five times in the last seven trading days For the 5th time in the last 7 days, equity market internals have triggered an anxiety-implying Hindenburg Omen. Based on our data, this is the most concentrated cluster of new highs, new lows, advancing/declining based confusion on record. The last few occurrences have not ended well (though obviously not disastrously) but as the creator of the Omen notes, the more occurrences that cluster, the stronger the signal. But the Hindenburg Omen is not the only sign that a stock market crash may be coming. Marc Faber, the publisher of the Gloom, Boom Doom Report, says that the markets are repeating the exact same pattern that we saw just before the stock market crash of 1987 In 1987, we had a very powerful rally, but also earnings were no longer rising substantially, and the market became very overbought, Faber said on Thursdays Futures Now. The final rally into Aug. 25 occurred with a diminishing number of stocks hitting 52-week highs. In other words, the new-high list was contracting, and we have several breaks in different stocks. Faber says thats exactly where we find ourselves this August. Faber is projecting a stock market decline of 20 percent, maybe more in the month ahead. For now, the Fed keeps dropping hints that tapering is coming. But if the Fed does taper, there might not be any support for bond prices from the private sector. BAML credit strategist Hans Mikkelsen recently detailed why this is the case Since the financial crisis, Treasuries have been supported by numerous types of investors, including mutual funds/ETFs, banks, [emerging market] central banks and the foreign official sector (in addition to the Fed of course). However, these four sources of Treasury demand are unlikely to support the market in the short term going forward. First, with continued outflows from non-short term high grade bond funds, money managers are unlikely to provide support for Treasuries any time soon. Second, with increasing loan demand reducing the need for banks to support profitability by buying Treasuries, as well as significant mark-to-market losses in [available-for-sale] portfolios that in the future will count against capital, banks are unlikely to add long-duration assets in a rising interest rate environment. Third, in light of continued depreciation of [emerging market] currencies, it appears unlikely that [emerging market] countries are experiencing inflows that need to be reinvested in Treasuries. Finally, custody holdings of Treasuries continue to decline, suggesting foreign official sales of Treasuries. If the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries continues to rise sharply over the coming months, that could potentially cause the 441 trillion dollar interest rate derivatives bubble to implode. As John Embry recently told King World News, that would be disastrous for the global financial system Interest rates have already risen dramatically, so any tapering will simply throw gasoline on that fire and torch the banking system which is up to its eyeballs in interest rate derivatives. This would be disastrous for the entire financial system. Someone recently suggested that there was already a $4 trillion hole in the European banking system. If we look at the Japanese situation, that is totally unstable as well. So the destruction of paper money will only accelerate, and this is what you are seeing reflected today in the prices of gold and silver. We also have this shortage of physical gold, which is reflected by the fact that the gold lease rates have been negative for 25 consecutive days. We then had the revelation that the Bank of England had dumped a staggering 1,300 tons of physical gold into the market that they were supposed to be safely storing for other countries. The Bank of England wouldnt even comment, they just pleaded the 5th. Hopefully these Hindenburg Omens will pass and nothing will happen. Hopefully the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries will not continue to rise. But you know what they say hope for the best but prepare for the worst. I hope that you are getting prepared for the worst while you still can. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse.

2	BREAKING: FBI Shuts Down 1,124 Schools In THIS City After ISIS Takes City By Storm Every Public school in Los Angeles have been shut down after ISIS has made credible terror threats to the city. A member of the Los Angeles District Board of Education received a bomb threat. Police are investigating and searching every school in district of over 700,000 students. I think it is important that I take this precaution based upon what has happened recently and what has happened in the past, Cortines said. It was not to one school, two schools or three schools, but to many schools, Cortines said. It was to students at school. We are praying that this is a nasty joke from some kids, but we need to take every precaution given the circumstances. Do you think Los Angeles should double down on its police and FBI presence? 
2	Hillarys Inner Circle Is Starting To Talk... Its All Over Now The nation was shocked last week when the FBI announced they would be reopening the investigation of Hillary Clintons use of a private email server. Its important to note that the Democratic presidential nominee is not the only one under investigation here; in fact, many members of her inner circle are being looked at. According to Daily Mail, the five known investigations are into: Anthony Weiner, Huma Abedins estranged husband, sexting a 15-year-old girl; the handling of classified material by Clinton and her staff; questions over whether the Clinton Foundation was used as a front for influence peddling; whether the Virginia governor broke laws about foreign donations; and whether Hillarys campaign chairmans brother did the same. Lets take a deeper dive into the major players in these cases: 1. Huma Abedin 2. Gov. Terry McAuliffe 3. Cheryl Mills Other characters of note include Phillipe Reines, who has been tied to the IT issues at the State Department; John Podesta, Bills first White House deputy chief of staff and Hillarys campaign chairman; Tony Podesta, who has Russian connections Hillary seems to be threatened by; Doug Band, Bills former body man and Chief Aide; Justin Cooper; staff assistant for Oval Office operations during Bills presidency, and the one who registered the Clintonemail.com private server domain; and Anthony Weiner, mentioned above. What do you think? Do you hope the entire Clinton mafia is brought to justice?

3	iCensor: Apple Patents Remote Kill Switch for iPhone CamerasBy Nika Knight Thats the potential ramification of a patent granted to Apple earlier this week for technology that remotely disables iPhone cameras by infrared sensors. While Apples patent application uses the example of a rock band preventing audience members from recording a concert, since the application was first submitted back in 2009 observers have noted that the technology could also be used by police, repressive governments, and anyone in power to stop citizens from recording abuses of power and other injustices. The patent was approved despite thousands of signatures on a petition seeking to block the technology from being developed. Heres the rub. The First Amendment and Article 19 of the U.N.s Declaration on Human Rights dont really apply to the corporations that build these cellphones and run these social networks. Free speech rules dont apply to Silicon Valley, wrote the civil liberties group Free Press back in 2011, and Apples cellphone camera kill switch can be used as a pre-emptive strike against free speech. Approval for the patent was also granted amid increasing use of smartphone technology to record abuses of power, whether that is everyday citizens recording police brutality, House Democrats recording their sit-in for gun control after Speaker Paul Ryan shut off C-SPAN cameras, or peaceful protesters recording assaults by police. Critics note that its not hard to imagine police officers disabling all iPhone cameras in the vicinity before taking any actionwhether legal or illegalagainst people. Technology website Engadget illustrated the argument with a potential situation: Picture this: Youre out for a stroll on the streets of Vancouver when suddenly you find yourself caught up in a depressed mob of hockey fans. Riot police are striking a young man with their batons near a squad car. You pull out your iPhone to capture a video of this seeming abuse of forceonly to see a flashing message on the screen that says Recording Disabled. Its also not hard to imagine Ryan having disabled all iPhone cameras in the House to subdue media coverage of the sit-in: If the Speaker of the Houses office controls when C-SPANs cameras are live, its not a stretch to assume it would control when iPhones can work, as theGuardianwrites. And critics observe that its much more difficult to pursue justice when no record exists of an injustice happening in the first place. While Apple garnered praise from privacy activists for its stance against the FBI when the government agency sought its help in unlocking a phone owned by one of the San Bernardino shooters, its also been pointed out that technology companies dont have a spotless record on civil liberties. Indeed, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden is skeptical of the motives of tech companies, according to a recent profile in New York Magazine. Corporations arent friends of the people, corporations are friends of money, he told the magazine.

Anyone who defies these evil Islamic radicals risks death. The White House abandons Christians and denies, disguises and hides the existence of Radical Islam, but I will not! Huckabee then went on to argue that it is time for America to start taking out ISISand not feeling bad abou tit.

3	A Cancer AnswerCancer is a wordnot a sentence. Its been said that a good book lets us know about the author, but a truly good book knows you. A reader of Catherine Frompovichs new book A Cancer Answer will understand why. Hers is a real-time story of her empowering battle with breast cancer when she opted to take the road rarely traveled a completely natural holistic treatment. Even though it focuses on breast cancer, whats truly amazing about her work is a truth that profoundly resonates with the following readers: This book is set up so that you can read it in whole or first skip to the chapters you need in a dire situation to start healing now. It contains steps, suggestions, meal plans and a vast array of research. It is also a springboard, launching one into other resources and quickly connecting you to help in your locale. You will see why body chemistry and your immune system play important roles.Threaded throughout, her real-time writing makes for a compelling read with a surprise at the end. It sets the perfect backdrop for what comes later. These words do not come from Catherine herself she is presenting words from the medical communitys mouths, their studies, their admissions. She covers GMOs, chemicals, chemtrails, food ingredients, Pharma drugs and more. Its enough to make the average Joe or Joan walk away in disgust from modern medicine and the food and chemical complex. It is in no way a medical bash either. In fact, did you know there are threeallopathic methods of detecting cancer safely and years before a ionized radiation-inducing mammogram? All could be covered by your insurance. After reading this book you wont even want to look at the word mammogram ever again and wont have an issue saying No to a doctor or societal pressure. It plainly shows what a dizzying and topsy-turvy Western med world we live in where cut-burn-poison are presented as the only options, and the only ones supported by insurance companies. Whats called quackery has been tried and trued formillennia.She presents information in a way that flows, but also reaches out to the reader with understanding about the pressure to cave to predatory medicine it induces so much fear, but her words offer profound courage with knowledge. Just like a holistic approach to cancer, Catherines book builds you up. It becomes a comfort, even exciting, to change paths and try a new way which is actually an old way. Ways that only seem unconventional now because weve been barraged by Big Pharma, the AMA, WHO, and corporate media pundits for just the last century but enough time to grow up with and buckle in the pressure and fear. Your immune system and empowerment are whats needed most to fight cancer, but the modern medical establishment is taught to tear both down. The body is truly amazing when it finally dawns on us that people survive despite modern treatments, certainly not because of them. Did you know that a woman could live comfortably with a stabilized tumor for 20 years without losing her hair, suffering radiation burns and chemo brain? But, its the pressure, fear and propaganda that tells patients to jump into cut-burn-poison methods. And yet, Cancer is written on the death certificates because its accepted to be par for the course. Its not necessary to live with the tumor or the offered treatment. How can one book encompass so much, leave no stone unturned? It was also heartfelt, like sitting down with a friend over coffee sharing the scoop. Most of our loved ones caught up in the corporate evening news will not listen to our words but theyd behard pressedto ignore Catherines. She has gone through it and already has battled the confusion, pressure, and deception. She lights and shares a better path. So rather than tell loved ones what Ive recently learned from reading A Cancer Answer: Holistic BREAST Cancer Management, I will let it speak for itself. Think the holistic approach is too expensive because its deliberately not covered by insurance? Then youd be blown away to find out what percentage of the average cancer industry cost she spent following her protocol. In case youre wondering, Catherine is doing exceptionally well.As an added bonus for those considering her path, everyone says Look at your face! incredulously when they find out her real age.She has been in the fight a long time and shows no signs of stopping. She didnt have to lose her hair or her sharp research and writingabilitiesto chemotherapy and burns. She didnt have to suffer or lose her burning drive to continue helping others. Catherines latest book, A Cancer Answer, Holistic BREAST Cancer Management, A Guide to Effective Non-Toxic Treatments, is available on Amazon.com and as a Kindle eBook. Read articles by Catherine J.

1	Radically reversing nearly three weeks of precedent, local 5-year-old Tricia Billings announced Saturday that the circle was no longer her favorite shape. 'Circles aren't my favorite anymore,' said Billings, denouncing the closed-curve geometric construction that, just last month, she called 'the best shape in the whole world.' 'I don't like them.' The stunning announcement reportedly comes after Billings had taken a staunch pro-circle stance by talking constantly about circles; pointing out circular objects during car rides; and sometimes even running into the living room, showing her parents a picture of a circle, and then running back to her bedroom. In fact, just moments prior to Saturday's definitive anti-circle declaration, Billings was reportedly seen using crayons to color in multiple circles on an otherwise blank sheet of construction paper, a seemingly contradictory signal that has made it difficult for observers to speculate upon the motivation behind her groundbreaking retraction. 'I don't like triangles, either,' said Billings, eliminating all three-sided polygons from the short list of contenders for most-admired shape. 'Jenny likes triangles. I want my own favorite.' According to sources, the 5-year-old's sudden renunciation of the circle is only the most recent display of erratic behavior in a week that has also seen an abrupt switch of her favorite color from red to green and a sudden, entirely unanticipated condemnation of her Yo Gabba Gabba! CD, which she reportedly used to listen to on loop. While Billings has yet to announce an interim favorite shape, sources close to the 5-year-old have suggested that trapezoids, rectangles, andfollowing her discovery of stop signs earlier this monthoctagons could all be potential candidates. Billings' mother, Sandra, who was overheard saying, 'That's nice, dear,' in response to the surprising dinner-table announcement, did not address her daughter's selection of a new favorite shape. 'She has such an active imagination,' Sandra Billings, 35, told reporters in the wake of her daughter's statement, which threw the child's shape rankings into complete chaos and called into question her current opinions on squares, ovals, and pentagons. 'Every week she seems to talk about new, exciting things she's learned at school.' Amid what is widely expected to be a tumultuous and disruptive transition, Billings reaffirmed she still really likes hearts and macaroni and cheese. Still, experts across the country said they couldn't help but feel a little caught off guard by Billings' reversal. Tricia threw us a real curveball here, said Education Secretary Arne Duncan, adding that even though Billings has been vacillating between circles and trapezoids for a few weeks now, he had assumed the round shape would remain her favorite for the foreseeable future. Frankly, if she's capable of turning her back on circles, anything is possible. She says giraffes are still her favorite animal, but at this point I don't whether we should accept that at face value or take it with a grain of salt. I'm not sure, Duncan continued, but once the dust settles, I do think she'll be back to drawing circles all over everything, maybe by the end of the month even, but who knows. Attempts to reach Billings for a follow-up interview were put on hold following the alarming discovery that after eight months of antagonistic behavior toward classmate Jeremy Caldwell, Billings no longer finds him gross. 
2	Michelle Obama Preparing To Launch 2016 Presidential Campaign During her time as First Lady, Michelle Obama has been living the lavish lifestyle of her dreams, at the expense of American taxpayers. But with her time in the White House quickly coming to an end, Michelle has been scrambling to try to find out what shell do next. According to reports, Michelle is even considering running for president in 2016. The idea was first introduced by Dorian Warren, a professor at Columbia University, during an appearance on Alex Wagners MSNBC show. I want to start a whisper campaign on your show right now, Warren said. I think we should draft Michelle Obama to run. Of course, Michelle 16 stickers have already been popping up on car bumpers of liberals throughout the country. And surveys have shown that if Michelle did decide to mooch it up in the White House for another term, she has a good chance of beating Hillary Clinton. Michelle has had the time of her life in the White House, and she doesnt want to step down from that luxurious Air Force One lifestyle, a source close to Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett told reporters. She is definitely going to write a memoir. What do you think? Would Michelle be an even worse president than her husband? 
2	11 States Come Together To Bring Down Obama According to recent report, Texas and 10 other states are suing the Obama administration over a new directive about transgender students in public school. The lawsuit, which was announced on Tuesday, includes Oklahoma, Alabama, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Tennessee, Maine, Louisiana, Utah, Arizona and Georgia. The case follows a directive to U.S. schools to let transgender students to use the bathrooms and locker rooms that match the gender they identify with. Our local schools are now in the crosshairs of the Obama Administrations, which maintains it will punish those schools who do not comply with its orders, Texas Attorney General Paxton commented. This represents just the latest example of the current administrations attempts to accomplish by executive fiat what they couldnt accomplish through the democratic process in Congress. By forcing through his policies by executive action, President Obama excluded the voice of the people. Conservative states have taken a stand against the measure, and the lawsuit accuses the Obama administration of running roughshod over commonsense policies that protect children. So far, North Carolina is the only state to have passed a law actually preventing transgender individuals from using whichever restroom they prefer. Though similar legislation has been introduced in other states, it has either been vetoed or failed. Legislation is still pending in eight states. So now the federal government is gonna tell almost every private sector company in the United States who can and who cannot come into their bathrooms, their restrooms, their shower facilities, Republican Governor Pat McCrory told reporters at NBCs Meet the Press. North Carolina is also being sued by at least three other groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union. 
1	BECKLEY, WVCritics, social workers, and peers agreed Monday that Michael Jans was horribly miscast as the father of 5-year-old Tyler Beecham. 'Michael would be great playing the drunken buddy, or the deadbeat brother who can't hold down a job, but he's just not very believable as Daddy,' ex-girlfriend Karen Beecham said. 'I had hoped Michael would grow into the role, but I'm rethinking that idea. It's a very demanding part, and I need someone who can do it without a lot of direction.' Beecham will begin re-casting the father role at Scooter's Pub on Thursday at 8 p.m. 
1	The seven deadly sinsavarice, sloth, envy, lust, gluttony, pride, and wrathwere all committed Sunday during the twice-annual bake sale at St. Mary's of the Immaculate Conception Church. Patti George (far right) commits the sin of envy as she eyes fellow parishioner Mary Hoechst's superior strawberry rhubarb pie. In total, 347 individual acts of sin were committed at the bake sale, with nearly every attendee committing at least one of the seven deadly sins as outlined by Gregory the Great in the Fifth Century. 'My cookies, cakes, and brownies are always the highlight of our church bake sales, and everyone says so,' said parishioner Connie Barrett, 49, openly committing the sin of pride. 'Sometimes, even I'm amazed by how well my goodies turn out.' Fellow parishioner Betty Wicks agreed. 'Every time I go past Connie's table, I just have to buy something,' said the 245-pound Wicks, who commits the sin of gluttony at every St. Mary's bake sale, as well as most Friday nights at Old Country Buffet. 'I simply can't help myselfit's all so delicious.' The popularity of Barrett's mouth-watering wares elicited the sin of envy in many of her fellow vendors. 'Connie has this fantastic book of recipes her grandmother gave her, and she won't share them with anyone,' church organist Georgia Brandt said. 'This year, I made white-chocolate blondies and thought they'd be a big hit. But most people just went straight to Connie's table, got what they wanted, and left. All the while, Connie just stood there with this look of smug satisfaction on her face. It took every ounce of strength in my body to keep from going over there and really telling her off.' While the sins of wrath and avarice were each committed dozens of times at the event, Barrett and longtime bake-sale rival Penny Cox brought them together in full force. 'Penny said she wanted to make a bet over whose table would make the most money,' said Barrett, exhibiting avarice. 'Whoever lost would have to sit in the dunk tank at the St. Mary's Summer Fun Festival. I figured it's for such a good cause, a little wager couldn't hurt. Besides, I always bring the church more money anyway, so I couldn't possibly lose.' Moments after agreeing to the wager, Cox became wrathful when Barrett, the bake sale's co-chair, grabbed the best table location under the pretense of having to keep the coffee machine full. Cox attempted to exact revenge by reporting an alleged Barrett misdeed to the church's priest. 'I mentioned to Father Mark [O'Connor] that I've seen candles at Connie's house that I wouldn't be surprised one bit if she stole from the church's storage closet,' said Cox, who also committed the sin of sloth by forcing her daughter to set up and man her booth while she gossiped with friends. 'Perhaps if he investigates this, by this time next year, Connie won't be co-chair of the bake sale and in her place we'll have someone who's willing to rotate the choice table spots.' The sin of lust also reared its ugly head at the bake sale, largely due to the presence of Melissa Wyckoff, a shapely 20-year-old redhead whose family recently joined the church. While male attendees ogled Wyckoff, the primary object of lust for females was the personable, boyish Father Mark. Though attendees' feelings of lust for Wyckoff and O'Connor were never acted on, they did not go unnoticed. 'There's something not right about that Melissa Wyckoff,' said envious and wrathful bake-sale participant Jilly Brandon, after her husband Craig offered Wyckoff one of her Rice Krispie treats to 'welcome [her] to the parish.' 'She might have just moved here from California, but that red dress of hers should get her kicked out of the church.' According to St. Mary's treasurer Beth Ellen Coyle, informal church-sponsored events are a notorious breeding ground for the seven deadly sins. 'Bake sales, haunted houses, pancake breakfasts... such church events are rife with potential for sin,' Coyle said. 'This year, we had to eliminate the 'Guess Your Weight' booth from the annual church carnival because the envy and pride had gotten so out of hand. Church events are about glorifying God, not violating His word. If you want to do that, you're no better than that cheap strumpet Melissa Wyckoff.' 
1	Focus groups at advance screenings for Gigli, a romantic comedy starring Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez set to open nationwide July 30, have demanded a new ending in which both stars die 'in as brutal a manner as possible,' sources at Sony Pictures said Tuesday. Focus-group participants suggest possible violent deaths for characters played by Lopez and Affleck (left). 'The movie is pretty good, I guess,' read one comment card from a test-screening audience in Culver City, CA. 'I liked the Al Pacino character, but I had a hard time buying Jennifer Lopez as a lesbian. I also really, really wanted [Affleck and Lopez's characters] Larry and Ricki to die, to get shot or blown up or run over by something. I would prefer to see the blood and the looks on their faces.' On Monday, 3,000 people in markets as varied as Dallas, Chicago, Albany, Atlanta, and Seattle screened Gigli, a gangster-themed romantic comedy written and directed by Martin Brest, in which lowly thug Affleck lets his love for hitwoman Lopez get in the way of a high-risk mob assignment. Of those viewers, 2,965 'strongly agreed' that the ending should be changed to include a graphic scene in which its main characters die. 'Many participants wrote 'shot to death' in the space provided for comments, probably thinking that it fit in with the gangster characters' stated realities,' Columbia Pictures director of marketing Peter Zitterman said. 'Some comments showed a lot of careful thought, such as 'point blank through head from right side,' 'both at once with single shot from elephant gun,' and 'several hundred times, with multiple camera angles showing their bodies jerking as they're shredded with a heavy hosing of lead, spraying the lens with gobbets of meat and bone and blood, with the sheer number of fist-sized exit wounds obviously precluding any sequel.' And shootings weren't the only ideas suggested, believe me.' According to the exit cards, other popular methods of achieving Lopez and Affleck's on-screen demise included car bombs, multiple stab wounds, acid baths, rabid wolf attacks, lightning strikes, and, in one case, a 'hammer party.' 'We never expected this kind of reaction,' Zitterman said. 'We've had odd results from focus groups before, but I don't recall an audience ever agreeing on such a sweeping change. If only we had done this survey in pre-production.' Although the various test audiences differed on the preferred methods of death, they seemed unanimous on one point. 'We were very surprised at how many viewers thought that, no matter what, Affleck and Lopez should not be entwined in a romantic embrace at the time of their deaths,' Zitterman said. 'Everyone was perfectly clear on that.' Although Brest said he is satisfied with the final cut of Gigli, he briefly considered incorporating some of the test audience's ideas into the film. One of the many focus-group comment cards calling for Gigli characters' deaths. 'The danger here is succumbing to what people in the business call 'option paralysis'being caught with so many good ideas that you're not sure which one to use,' Brest said. 'Getting shot is fine, but what about an automobile fire in which Ben and Jennifer are shown perishing in a slow-motion montage, their newfound love discarded as they try desperately to claw their way past each other's melting bodies, while slowly roasting to death in their own fat? You'd be surprised at how many people came up with that one. Or having them crawl through a field of broken glass while a safely booted and gloved Christopher Walken casually advances on them with a spray bottle of acid and a pair of bolt-cutters? I must say, a part of me loves the idea of them chewing each other to death during a 14-minute dolly shot.' Added Brest: 'Believe me, after the singular experience of working with these two for several months, it would be a joy to get back together just to make these changes.' Even if time were not prohibitive, Columbia executives remained skeptical about the validity of the focus-group results. 'I find it hard to believe that audiences would harbor hostility toward such major media figures as J. Lo and Ben,' Zitterman said. 'With her magazine covers, clothing and perfume lines, and constant radio presence; his roles in Daredevil and Project Greenlight; and their recent joint appearances on Dateline NBC and numerous entertainment shows, how could anyone wish for anything but a resolution that unites these two attractive, highly visible celebrities?' Insiders confirm that time constraints will prevent the much-requested death-scene additions to Gigli, which already underwent several days of fine-tuning when earlier focus groups noted a lack of romantic chemistry from the real-life couple. In light of the results, however, director Kevin Smith has said he will consider adding a gruesome double homicide to his Affleck-Lopez comedy Jersey Girl, due in theaters next year. 
1	On the strength of the locations generous tax credits, cash rebates on production costs, and fee-free onsite filming, more than half of major Hollywood motion pictures are now being shot at the summit of Mount Everest, the weekly trade magazine Variety reported Friday. Originally wed planned to shoot our new Josh Duhamel rom-com in Toronto, but when we considered the financial package offered by [Everests] Advanced Base Camp, we realized we could film the whole thing there at 60 percent of the cost. Assuming the cast and crew survive the ascent up the Khumbu Icefall, how do you say no to that kind of deal? said Sony Pictures executive Evan Green, who is currently producing a Joel Schumacherdirected courtroom drama, a superhero franchise sequel, a raunchy teen sex romp, and a film adaptation of the Broadway musical Nice Work If You Can Get It that are all slated to be filmed at the Hillary Step, a sheer four-story rock wall located 28,750 feet above sea level. Sometimes a little script tinkering is needed to work in the fact that everyones wearing oxygen tanks and 50 pounds of climbing gear, but given the incredible savings its nothing you cant smooth out in post. Green added that the company hopes to begin shooting an Edwardian-era period drama at Camp IV on the southeast ridge as soon as the actors swollen limbs reduce to normal size and they stop coughing up blood. 
1	Describing it as a harrowing ordeal that he 'wouldn't wish on his worst enemy,' badly shaken 39-year-old senior account manager Daniel Tillison told reporters Friday he would never again spend a few minutes alone with his thoughts. 'My God, it was just awfulthat's the last time I ever take a moment to myself to reflect,' a profusely sweating Tillison said before unsteadily pouring a large glass of whiskey and drinking it down in a single gulp. 'The worst part is, I actually did this to myself. I actually said, 'I think I'd like a little time alone to think about some things.' Then, for a few brief, horrible moments, I looked deep within myself and saw who I really was. It was honestly the scariest, most nauseating experience of my life.' Tillison said that if he ever again found himself alone and without the distractions of music, the Internet, television, or video games, he would repeatedly hit himself in the head with the handiest large blunt object to prevent any sort of return to his own innermost thoughts. 
2	They Told Her Not To Pray At The Olympics, What Happened Next Was Nothing Short Of A Miracle With Obama in the White House, weve seen many American Christians discouraged from expressing their faith publicly. Thats why we were thrilled to see American Olympic wrestler Helen Maroulis stop in the middle of competition to say a prayer. Maroulis paused briefly to pray on Thursday as she walked to the wrestling mat to confront Japans 13-time World Champion and three-time gold medalist Saori Yoshida. All I said over and over again was, Christ is in me, I am enough, and that was one of the most freeing things Ive ever said, the 24-year-old Californian said. I dont need to be perfect. Leading up to training camp, people would say, How did you feel about practice today? or, You looked good, and I had no answer because I was looking for perfection everywhere. Finally I was like, You know what? Im not going to find it. So what I have is enough, and I trust God that what I have is enough. I looked at that flag and Im like, The American flag represents our country and it stands for so much, Maroulis said. I have this gold medal, but Im also thinking there are Americans in other countries at war and theres flags there. Its just such an honor to be an American, its such a blessing. When the anthem plays, how could you not cry? Maroulis didnt forget to thank God after the match, as well. She posted a message to the world on Instagram.

The homeowner is now refusing to take down the sign, despite coming under fire from the public. Opposing Views reported this: A photo of a bizarre sign, found in front of someones home, that slammed both President Obama and Caitlyn Jenner circulated online this week and had many scratching their heads. The sign, posted by Redditor SusanBAnthonyy, appeared to be the type of sign that would normally be used for business. In this case, however, it was reportedly in front of a Massachusetts residents home, and boasted a strange message. Caitlyn Jenner Donates Testicles To Cowardly Obama, the message read. The word cowardly was surrounded on the sign by arrows. -OpposingViews What do you think of the sign? Sound off in the comments below! 
2	Michelle Obama Just Gave The Most Racist Speech In The History Of First Ladies Michelle Obama delivered what democrats have deemed a very powerful speech at the Democratic National Convention last week. During her address, she took various stabs at presidential nominee Donald Trump. The First lady once again proved just how divisive the Democratic party can be, by bringing race into the discussion. I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves, Michelle commented. And I watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent black young women playing with their dogs on the White House lawn. CNN (@CNN) July 26, 2016 
2	Hillary Is HUMILIATED After Voters Do THIS To Her During Her Visit To Iowa Hillary Clinton visited Iowa this week for her campaign, and wasnt given the warm welcome she was expecting. At her rally in Dubuque, the modest sized room she rented out ended up less than half full. With Bernie Sanders coming in strong from behind, Hillarys chances of winning the Democratic Nomination are not nearly as set in stone as before. Now, thats not to say that Hillary wont win. She probably will. But in the case that Sanders overtakes her, that will secure the election to the Republican candidate. With all of the scandals Hillary is involved in, who knows if she will even make it to the election. She is currently being investigated by the FBI for her most recent email scandal. Do you think Hillary should be put in prison before the Democratic Nominee is determined?

3	U.S. Senate Admits The Dawn of Artificial Intelligence Is HereBy Jake Anderson Whether we recognize it or not, Cruz said, during the meeting, artificial intelligence is already seeping into our daily lives. The speech was one in a number of rare addresses concerning artificial intelligence on the Senate floor. During the hearing, Dr. Andrew Moore from Carnegie Mellon University and Dr. Eric Horvitz, Managing Director at Microsoft Research Lab, discussed how a variety of technologies have created an inflection point whereby computing speed, automation, and deep learning will combine to drive AI technology further into human lives. Several speakers, including Senator Bill Nelson of Florida, discussed the impact AI would have on the human workforce and, ultimately, the economy. Anti-Media spoke with author-turned-politician Zoltan Istvan, who just finished running the Transhumanist Partys campaign for president. The current incarnation of government meeting to chew the fat on AI might seem nothing less than futile to Zoltan, who says theyre already behind and will remain so. As always, government is already one step behind, talking about trying to retrain jobs for the AI age while not realizing that in the two to five years one spends retraining people, AI will already replace those newly created jobs, Zoltan proclaimed. The facts are very simple: AI will be better at everyones job. The sole exception is the career of being an artist, as those jobs are subjective, but any nuts and bolts / performance type jobs will soon be on the chopping block, up for grabs to the best AI and robot makers. This ties into what many scientific prognosticators have been hinting at for a while, the most recent being Stephen Hawking, who proclaimed that middle-class jobs would soon be eviscerated by AI and automation. Jobs like engineers, lawyers, nurses, teachers, truck drivers, and secretaries will all disappear, Zoltan concurs. As will physicallabor jobs, like construction workers, trash collectors, or plumbers. Robots will be better, and theyll never be late to work, argue with the boss, or sue their employer because they fell off the roof. The U.S. government must get used to the Transhumanist Age, when millions of jobs will be lost every year to automation and the only way to get used to that is to begin the laborious and challenging transition to a universal basic income, where all the unemployed receive enough benefits to eat, have shelter, health care, and the basics to live. The government must re-sell the American Dream. Its one of not working 9 to 5, but finding new uses for ourselves in a leisure lifestyle. As far as his chances of working in the Trump administration Zoltanpreviously told Anti-Media he was vying for a position the Transhumanist was cautiously optimistic. Still, he was realistic about his chances of being tapped to come onboard: I think, for now, theyre still working on getting the cabinet filled, so smaller players like myself need to wait and hope we get hired. But Im continuing to inquire and hope Ill hear back something by Jan 1st. Im not sure what my chances are. I might be a bit too controversial still.

3	Rules of EngagementJim White The name Gavin Seim (pronounced seem) may not ring a bell unless you live in the Northwest United States; however, you may be one of the people responsible for the 5 million+ collective views on Gavins YouTube Channel, and not even know it. The video Gavin produced where he pulled over a police officer to give him a warning went viral, and his checkpoint videos (here, here) are already classics. One tactic Gavin is particularly adept at is proper Rules of Engagement. Gavin insists that once a law is passed that violates our Constitution, we need to immediately mobilize and defy the unlawful law, en masse. Gavin doesnt just provide lip-service when speaking about these matters, as he personally organized the Largest Felony Civil Disobedience Rally in US History in Olympia, Washington, in 2014. Gavin has been a guest on the broadcast once before, and we were most delighted when he, once again, accepted an invite to be on The Liberty Brothers Radio Show. We kicked off the interview by re-capping Gavins recent arrest for civil disobedience, and easily transitioned into the broken justice system. We moved into ideas for hardcore activism, then discussed Chicagos black sites, while Gavin summed things up nicely with the idea to just simplify the message. Overall, it was a very informative and inspiring interview and one not to miss. You can read more from Jim White at The Liberty Brothers, where this article and interview first appeared. 
2	Home Depot Embraces Shariah Law With Muslim Sensitivity Training Home Depot has announced that their employees will be subjected to what they are calling Muslim cultural awareness sensitivity training. The action is in response to a request from CAIR, a terrorist organization that has been indicted multiple times on terrorism-related charges. Recently, the Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations provided cultural awareness training to employees at a Home Depot in Dearborn. Two regional CAIR employees, Executive Director Dawud Walid and Safe Spaces Coordinator Warda Kalim took the opportunity to discuss customer interactions and Muslim customs. They also highlighted religious accommodations concerns. We welcome such opportunities to engage Home Depot and other business establishments to better serve their Muslim customers and accommodate the cultural competency of their Muslim employees, claimed Walid. CAIR has also offered a booklet, entitle An Employers Guide to Islamic Religious Practices. It outlines a series of necessary policies that employees should implement, ranging from changing the dress code to offering extended breaks and vacation time. What do you think of Home Depots training? 
1	Building upon his previous Burger Kingrelated work, comedian Dane Cook announced plans Monday to tape an hour-long HBO stand-up special devoted entirely to the Texas Double Whopper, the latest menu offering from the fast-food giant. The Cookster 'Bro, I got a solid 15 [minutes] on the name alone,' said Cook on the 'Danecast' video weblog feature on his MySpace page. 'I'm still working out the kinks, but I'm probably gonna call it the 'T-Dubs' or maybe the 'Spicy Dub-Whops.'' Cook said that the new burger, which substitutes jalapeo peppers and mustard for the original Double Whopper's mayonnaise and ketchup, has inspired him to 'new creative heights.' The routine came to the popular comic 'in a flash' as he watched a Burger King TV spot for the sandwich during ESPN's World Series Of Poker. Last week, HBO signed Cook to produce, write, and star in the special tentatively titled Dane Cook: Burgasm for an unprecedented $25 million, the highest amount the cable network has ever paid to a comedian for a one-time-only, fast-food-themed performance. 'When Dane told us what he had in mind, we couldn't sign off on it fast enough,' HBO's Chairman and CEO Chris Albrecht said. 'We love working with Dane. He's a truly energetic talent, and we're sure that whatever he comes up with, people will watch.' Cook introduces a 15-minute section on alcoholism and french fries during a 2005 performance. Cook said he completely scrapped all of his old fast-food material and, in his usual diligent way, spent several weeks creating hours of new Texas Double Whopper jokes, then 'painfully' pared down the act to what he described on MySpace as 'what you might call 'completely off the fucking hook.'' 'I'll ease the audience in by calling [the Texas Double Whopper] a 'sangwich,' and Burger King the 'BK Lounge,' but then I'll hit them with both barrels and call it the 'BK Lounge sangwich,'' Cook said. 'You can expect me to pace some, then squat, then probably growl like I'm hungry, and say 'Huuuungry!' And to really hit it home, I'll climb up on the stool, howl, kick the stool over, and dive to the ground and do the worm. It looks totally spontaneous, but it's all carefully choreographed, and that's the beauty of it.' 'I mean, the fucking thing has jalapeos on it, bro,' Cook added. 'Jalapeos.' Last month, Cook tested the new material in small comedy clubs across the country, trying out different inflections and pitches on newly created Cook-isms for soft-drink dispensers as well as gauging audience response to iterations of the word 'dude.' 'Stand-up comedy is an art formit's not just writing and telling jokes,' Cook said. 'It requires your whole body and soul to gesticulate wildly and yell the same things about sesame seeds and mustard over and over at the audience in different voices until they laugh.' 'And if there's a camera present, stand-up is an art form that's about putting your face as close as possible to that camera and screaming at it,' Cook continued. The 'Spicy Dub-Whops.' The taping is scheduled to take place in mid-April at Madison Square Garden. Plans are underway to erect a state-of-the-art hamburger-shaped set, and install nearly two dozen wide-screen TV monitors that will capture every subtle change in Cook's facial expressions as he performs for eager fans. 'I'm gonna need all that shit when I launch into my 20-minute bit about ketchup packets,' Cook said. 'That's when I really start running around. And screaming, bro.' While Cook revealed that he will wear a new white T-shirt, leather wristband, and a pair of specially designed jeans, and has promised to pepper his performance with several crowd-pleasing callbacks to the most 'pivotal' cheese and pickle jokes, he declined to disclose any further details. 'I want all my fans to be surprised, but I will say that a significant portion of [the special] will focus on the time when the dude I ordered from at the BK Lounge looked at me all like, 'Pfffffffft,'' said Cook, contorting his face into a cross-eyed, puckered grimace. 'Swear to fucking God, bro, 'Pfffffffft!' Just like that!' 'Bro, 'Pfffffffft!'' Cook said. Cook refused to comment on rumors that he has modified his 'Superfinger'an obscene gesture he invented in which both the middle and ring fingers are extendedto incorporate several additional fingers that mimic the action of holding a burger while simultaneously stimulating a woman's clitoris. 
2	NAACP Says Robert E Lee Painting Must Be Removed Because Its Racist James Muwakkil, President of the Lee County, FL chapter of the NAACP, has petitioned the local commission to remove a portrait of General Robert E. Lee from their chambers. The reason? Muwakkil claims the portrait symbolizes racism. Lee County was named after military hero Robert E. Lee just 22 years after the close of the ware between the states, The Washington Times notes. The portrait has hung in the County Commission chambers for years now. That painting is a symbol of racism, Muwakkil wrote in a letter, Its a symbol of divisiveness, and it doesnt unify Lee County. It divides Lee County. The petition to remove the painting will force a public hearing on the issues, state Commissioner Larry Kiker. Kiker also told the News-Press that he is looking for thoughtful conversation based upon the historical value of the painting, and why it was hung to begin with. The News-Press reported that Virginia assisted Lee County in obtaining the painting in 1939. Lee is seen as a loyal hero in Virginia, because he played an important role in the Confederate army. He is not recognized for his position on slavery. In fact, Lee did many things that were unconventional during his time, including allowing his wife and daughter to run and maintain an illegal school for slaves on their plantation. Despite Lees important role in Virginia history, the NAACP chapter petitions the county to take action repeatedly. The last time they did so was in 2007, when they asked the commission to hang a painting of President Abraham Lincoln next to the portrait. The measure ultimately failed. What do you think? Is the portrait a symbol of racism or a tribute to a hero? 
2	SHOCKING: Black Community And The KKK Now Teaming Up To Fight Border Crisis According to recent comments from Robert Jones, leader of the Ku Klux Klan, the White supremacy group has started reaching out to the African-American community and other groups to join its efforts against undocumented immigrants illegally crossing our border. The tone is notoriously different from the past, as African-Americans have traditionally been terrorized by the group. Now, it appears that they are moving away from the historical White power slogan, and are transitioning into a new Keep America American doctrine. We think our government should step in and do a whole lot more to secure our borders, Jones told reporters. All our jobs are being outsourced right now, and what jobs are left here, black and white Americans are being forced to have competition with Mexicans coming across the border, because theyll do the job cheaper. According to the leader, the KKK is also changing their recruitment policy, visiting house to house. And, the leader told reporters that sometimes that means knocking on the door of someone of a different race. Judging a house, the KKK leader said, is racist. Some officials do not buy the new policy of the friendlier KKK. Others are caught up in the extreme irony. What do you think of the unlikely bond? 
1	JACKSONVILLE, FLBattered and demoralized after their 24-21 defeat at the hands of the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles had their mood reinforced by a locker-room call from defeated presidential challenger John Kerry. 'What'd we talk about? Oh, you know, losing the biggest game of all against a national audience, most of whom didn't really care anyway,' said Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, who like Kerry had a less-than-stellar showing. 'And how hard it is to watch those smug, self-satisfied, so-called Patriots strut around like peacocks afterwards. I could relate.' Kerry also gave the Eagles advice on keeping their team's game plan from becoming muddled and inconsistent, and showing decisive leadership in the wake of a big loss. 
1	Delivering an impassioned statement Friday during a campaign stop at Lous Diner, Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie reportedly described the jihadist militant group ISIS as a grave, towering, meaty threat to the United States while staring intently at a customers corned beef sandwich. They are a violent, hateful, mouthwateringly delicious force thats stacked high throughout the Middle East, said Christie, licking his lips and promising the restaurant patron that the savage, savory extremists wouldnt last 30 seconds under his administration. These salt-cured, thinly sliced, melt-in-your-mouth radicals want nothing more than to force the world to live under strict, melty Swiss cheese. Well, let me tell you: When Im president, I wont stop until we get those thick-cut rye bread fundamentalists in our hands, squeeze them down, and finish off every last brutal, succulent morsel of that delectable menace, reducing their terror network to crumbs. At press time, Christie was explaining that to truly demolish the ruthless, juicy Islamic fundamentalists, he would seek to enlist the help of the Russian dressing. 
1	Sauk County Sheriff Virgil 'Butch' Steinhorst announced Tuesday that he believes a recent rash of Baraboo-area crimes was perpetrated by the al-Qaeda terrorist network or teenagers. Steinhorst investigates a recent crime. 'In this day and age, it's important for law-enforcement officials to consider global threats as well as local ones,' Steinhorst said. 'We could be dealing with an al-Qaeda sleeper cell attempting to collect information that they could use to plan a terrorist strike or some of those goth kids who knocked over that mailbox. Neither group has any respect for the law.' The string of unsolved crimes includes the defacement of public property, an incident of breaking-and-entering, and a string of harassing phone calls. The latest crimethe sudden disappearance of two yield signs from Hoxie Streetoccurred Monday. 'We believe the yield signs were removed in order to disrupt traffic patterns, most likely to cause an accident,' Steinhorst said. 'The party responsible for the crime could be anyone from suspected terrorist Ahmad Ibrahim Al-Mughassil, who is on the FBI's most-wanted list, to that Fairman kid and his buddies. It could be the work of one or the other. Possibly both, though I have to say I doubt that.' Responding to an anonymous report of a blue Ford Mustang seen idling in the Circus World parking lot for several hours after closing, Steinhorst said, 'In these troubled times, any and all suspicious activity is worth investigating.' 'This activity matches up with the M.O. of a terrorist casing a potential target,' Steinhorst said. 'It also matches the M.O. of a group of teens drinking beer and fooling around. But, as Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge told us, we are in a state of heightened alert. We could come under attack anywhere, at any time, from any direction. The tip-off could be anything from a duffel bag abandoned in a bank lobby to a carload of people at a stop sign who exit the car all at once, only to reenter through different doors.' Steinhorst regularly receives Department of Homeland Security bulletins that include the names of suspected terrorists. He also makes frequent visits to Baraboo High School, where Principal Larry Stordahl provides him with a list of possible truants. 'Teens regularly act without regard for the consequences of their actions or concern for their own physical well-being,' Steinhorst said. 'So do terrorists.' Wanted al-Qaeda operative Ahmad Ibrahim Al-Mughassil (left) and Baraboo High School junior Michael Fairman, two leading suspects in the recent rash of Baraboo-area crimes. According to Steinhorst, the first in the series of crimes currently under scrutiny occurred several months ago, on April 1, when an unknown party pulled a fire alarm in the Baraboo Community Library during a children's puppet show. 'The perpetrators of the April 1 incident may not even live in Sauk County,' Steinhorst said. 'They could be terrorists based in Madison. Or it could be students from Reedsburg High School, our nearby rival.' To investigate the possibility of the latter, the Sauk County Sheriff's Department has been exchanging intelligence with the sheriff in Richland County, where unsolved crimes of a similar nature have been reported. 'Over in Richland Center, we had some criminal activity occur dangerously close to unguarded reserves of fertilizer,' Richland County police officer Tim Hutter said. 'The report came from one Helen Johnson, who expressed fear for the safety of her cows. A cow found lying on its side could either be the victim of a chemical agent or of some immature teenager who thinks it's funny to sneak into the pasture and tip over a helpless animal. Either way, we can't be too cautious.' Steinhorst called upon all Baraboo citizens to report anything suspicious, especially since Deputy Dale Schneider broke his wrist last week subduing a drunken patron of the Come Back Inn, and Deputy Frank Pulvermacher can't work overtime since his mother got sick with dropsy. Steinhorst said it's important to 'not let fear get the better of us, but still remain vigilant.' 'Just today, we had a report of some suspicious lettering by the high-school football field,' Steinhorst said. 'Upon investigation, we discovered the phrase '2005 Rules' burnt into the grass. An item of clothing found at the scene leads us to believe the cryptic phrase was the work of members of next year's senior class, and not, as was originally feared, the warning of an impending terrorist attack. So we can all breathe a little easier.' 'You know, that football team is really shaping up this year,' Steinhorst added. 'We could go all the way to State.' 
2	Police Shoot And Kill Armed Terrorist Holding Hostages At Walmart Police arrived on the scene at Walmart after hearing reports of an armed man holding customers at gunpoint. Over 100 customers were in the store at the time. The police demanded that Todd drop his weapon and surrender. Todd pointed his gun at the police, and the police shot him in the upper chest. Todd was taken to the hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival. No officers or innocent people were hurt in the shooting. We are thankful we have such reliable and brave police officers. Do you think our police officers are heroes? 
1	Seemingly compelled to participate in meaningless conversations whenever encountering each other in their apartment, local roommates Dylan Lewis and Sean Porter told reporters Tuesday they still do not know each other well enough to not speak. Every time I see Sean in the living room or kitchen or wherever, I feel like I have to ask him how things are going or how his day was, said Lewis, who, like Porter, would reportedly much prefer to silently walk down the hall to his bedroom, shut the door, and work on his laptop. Or sometimes well talk about how the Mets did for maybe 30 seconds, just to get it out of the way. I mean, itd feel weird not to. At press time, the roommates had finally grown comfortable enough with each other to mutter a brief hello and avoid eye contact almost completely. 
1	Attempting to connect with voters in the run-up to Wisconsins crucial state primary next week, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz reportedly opened up to a town hall crowd Tuesday about his early days as a larva feeding on a rotting porcupine carcass. Those days spent regurgitating my own bile in order to soften up the animals decomposing flesh taught me a lot about life and really shaped who I am today, said a wistful Cruz, adding that he learned to appreciate hard work and family while burrowing alongside the hundreds of other members of his brood into the most festering part of the carrion. Those were much simpler times for America, back when every parent could easily provide enough animal remains for their young, and the biggest worry was finding a warm, dry location in which to pupate. Of course, it wasnt always easy to tunnel through the layers of decayed muscle tissue to reach the sweet, putrefied viscera inside the abdomen, but that struggle prepared me to fight for this country. According to sources, Cruz concluded the speech by promising voters he would remake America into the kind of place his children would be proud to deposit clutches of eggs into.

1	Faced with shrinking tax revenues and decreased public spending, the Department of Education announced Friday the 2012-2013 academic year would need to be radically shortened from 180 days to six. 'The first day, of course, will be spent learning names, handing out textbooks, assigning lockers, and so forth, but on day two, we'll hit the ground running, covering all of history by lunch and hopefully squeezing in the entire language-arts curriculum before the final bell rings,' said Education Secretary Arne Duncan, adding that any student caught misbehaving would be given three seconds of detention after class. 'That will leave the rest of the week free for an intensive program of math and science designed to help American children develop the skills they would already have if they lived in just about any other industrialized nation.' Duncan acknowledged not much would get done on day six, as students tend to be distracted on the last day of school, and they would in any event be worn out from the previous day's homecoming, talent show, SATs, winter semiformal, prom, finals, and commencement exercises. 
1	While checking his phone shortly after arriving at work today, local man Scott Teresi was reportedly gripped by a sudden sense of abject terror upon noticing he had missed a call from his father at 9:09 a.m. Oh, God, said the petrified 31-year-old, who is said to have immediately and involuntarily started imagining numerous unpleasant scenarios that might have prompted his fathers attempted communication at such an hour on a weekday, ranging from a sudden downturn in his grandmothers health, to an accident involving his mother, to the dissolution of his parents marriage, to some unforeseen, chilling admission from his father that he could not even begin to envision. He knows Im at work, but he still decided to call? This is definitely not going to be good. Fuck. At press time, Teresi was staring at his fathers 26-second voicemail, trying to work up the nerve to press play. 
1	On the heels of last week's decision to allow witness testimony in the presidential impeachment trial, key witness Monica Lewinsky was subpoenaed Monday to re-blow President Clinton on the Senate floor. Above: Lewinsky arrives in D.C. The controversial re-fellating, which, under the terms of the court order, will involve the full participation of both Lewinsky and the president, was described by Senate leaders as a 'regrettable but unfortunately very necessary' move. 'This trial is not about sex, it's about perjury,' Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-MS) said. 'Our job is to determine whether or not the president lied under oath. Although the Starr Report contained many detailed descriptions, until we see for ourselves, with our own eyes, exactly what took place during these secret rendezvous between the president and Miss Lewinsky, we won't have all the facts necessary to determine if the president's statements before the grand jury constituted a crime.' In addition to fellatio, Lewinsky and Clinton will be required to reenact several other key sex acts in which the pair allegedly engaged, including but not limited to: deep or 'French' kissing, under-the-sweater fondling, and vaginal penetration with various objects. Responding to outraged Clinton defense lawyers, who denounced the reenactment as 'a blatant attempt on the part of political enemies of this administration to humiliate the president,' chief prosecutor Rep. Henry Hyde (R-IL) insisted that it is necessary to ensure a fair trial. Above: Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS) speaks to reporters about Monica Lewinsky's Senate-ordered re-fellating of the president. 'How can we rule objectively in this case without all the details? Yes, we know that the president inserted a cigar into Miss Lewinsky's vagina, but just how many inches of it did he manage to work all the way up inside there?' Hyde asked. 'What were their exact facial expressions at key moments of ecstatic release? To what extent did Miss Lewinsky's ample bosom bounce to and fro as she vigorously bobbed her head up and down? Precisely how much of the president's erect penis was Miss Lewinsky physically able to force deep into the back of her throat? Was there gagging involved? Were the president's balls, at any point in the proceedings, licked? If we do not explore every possible detail of these shocking improprieties, we will never know the answers to these vital questions of national security.' 'If President Clinton has any respect for the Constitution and the citizens of this nation,' Hyde added, 'he will cooperate fully in these proceedings and allow himself to be sucked off with calm, reserved dignity, without resorting to partisan name-calling. Nothing less than the very future of our country is at stake.' More controversy is expected Friday, when Senate debate is scheduled to begin on the issue of whether the crucial cocksuckings will be televised. Though Clinton defense lawyers are fighting to have the reenactments performed in a closed-door session, most senators are demanding that they be included in the regular televised broadcasts of the trial, citing the imperative of the public's 'right to know.' 'If, as the president says, he is innocent of perjury, with nothing to hide, he should have no reason to fear providing full disclosureincluding full frontal nudity, if necessarybefore the American people,' Sen. Phil Gramm (R-TX) said. 'As elected officials, we have taken a solemn oath to serve the interests of those we represent. If we fail to provide the public with the whole truthno matter how sordid, depraved, perverse or even vicariously titillating it may bewe have failed in our duty to the people of this nation.' In the event that television cameras are allowed, as is expected, complete coverage of the presidential fellating, as well as related 'second-' and 'third-base' sex acts, will be aired live on C-SPAN. Highlight footage of particularly critical segments, such as genital/anal contact and ejaculation, will also be broadcast on all the prime-time network newscasts. Due to the enormous public interest in the scandal, as well as the ease of global dissemination via television and the Internet, footage of the Senate-floor coupling is expected to rank among the most widely seen in history, with near-constant re-airings on cable TV likely to last well beyond the year 2015. Many Americans are expressing alarm over such a prospect. 'How am I supposed to explain to my six-year-old daughter that the president is fucking some girl's mouth on TV?' asked Lorraine Sanders, associate director of the What About The Children? Foundation and a staunch presidential-penis-penetration opponent. 'For God's sake, she's only a child. An innocent child!' 'This trial is not the sort of thing our kids should be exposed to,' said concerned parent Judith LaFleur, who is leading a campaign to place content-warning labels on federal legislators. 'Watching the president get his cock feverishly sucked is for mature, responsible adults only.' Despite the public outcry, those legislators who are demanding the re-blowings remain adamant that the proceedings be televised uncensored and in their entirety, calling it 'a matter of ethics.' 'This may be the most important issue ever faced by Congress in its 210-year history,' Hyde said. 'We are talking about the possible removal of the highest elected official in the land, and that is not the sort of matter that should be trivialized.'

2	Beyonce Calls On Fans To Fight Police Officers Before Dallas Shooting This week, Americans were heartbroken as they confronted the loss of five police officers that were shot dead in Dallas during a Black Lives Matter protest on Thursday. As it turns out, just hours before the shooting, singer Beyonce called on her fans to rise up and fight injustice in police officers. This is just one of the heightened racial messages that she has published this year. Read the message below that Beyonce posted on her website in response to the police shootings of Alton Sterling and Philandro Castile: We are sick and tired of the killings of young men and women in our communities. It is up to us to take a stand and demand that they stop killing us. We dont need sympathy. We need everyone to respect our lives. Were going to stand up as a community and fight against anyone who believes that murder or any violent action by those who are sworn to protect us should consistently go unpunished. These robberies of lives make us feel helpless and hopeless but we have to believe that we are fighting for the rights of the next generation, for the next young men and women who believe in good. This is a human fight. No matter your race, gender or sexual orientation. This is a fight for anyone who feels marginalized, who is struggling for freedom and human rights. This is not a plea to all police officers but toward any human being who fails to value life. The war on people of color and all minorities needs to be over. Fear is not an excuse. Hate will not win. We all have the power to channel our anger and frustration into action. We must use our voices to contact the politicians and legislators in our districts and demand social and judicial changes. While we pray for the families of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, we will also pray for an end to this plague of injustice in our communities. 
1	According to sources close to the sadly delusional man, a pathetic Hollywood local is under the impression that he is actually on the verge of receiving an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. He mentioned to me recently that he thought his chances of being Oscar-nominated for a movie he was in this year were pretty good and I just thought, Oh my God, how pitiful is this? This poor bastard actually thinks hes got a shot at an Academy Award nomination, said an anonymous source of the heartbreakingly misguided man, who reports confirmed is so completely deluded that he genuinely believes there is buzz around his performance in the film, and that all of Hollywood not only knows him, but is talking about him. I mean, to be so clueless and so lacking in any kind of perspective or self-awareness that you actually think the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is going to recognize your work with an Oscar nomination? I just wanted to say to him, What, are you nuts? That is never going to happen. I guess Hollywood is full of people like him, though: wishers and dreamers. Its pretty sad. At press time, the mans agent and manager were apparently just going to let the confused man believe his pitiful little hopes and dreams for the next couple of weeks before they are officially crushed forever on January 16th.

1	Three semesters after adopting the sexual identity, Amanda Oppel, a junior women's-studies major at Oberlin College, abruptly dropped her highly politicized lesbian stance Monday. A photo of Oppel taken during her 16 months of lesbianism. 'I just need to focus on different priorities right now,' said Oppel, 20. 'I'm graduating next year, and my dad's not going to foot the bill forever.' She also alluded to 'maybe going back east to get an MBA.' Stunned by the announcement, Oppel's friends and fellow lesbian activists have struggled to understand the sudden reversal of sexual orientation. 'What the hell?' said Ellen Yang, leader of the Campus Womyn's Caucus and self-described 'oppressed lesbian of color.' 'Just three weeks ago, she road-tripped with us to San Fran for the big Menstruation Day rally. Now, she's suddenly not a dyke anymore? And what's with the outfit she was wearing? Since when does the infamous militant lesbian revolutionary Amanda Oppel wear Banana Republic sweaters and denim Gap skirts?' Oppel first revealed her intentions to abandon lesbianism at approximately 3 a.m. Monday, toward the conclusion of an emotional six-hour conversation with Leslie Heenan-Lynn. A fellow activist and her girlfriend of four months, Heenan-Lynn was shocked when Oppel 'dropped the bomb.' 'Leslie was totally crying,' said Katie Jacobsen, 19, one of Heenan-Lynn's roommates at the Tralfamadore Co-Op housing facility. 'She said Amanda had been acting weird and avoiding her all month. Then she said Amanda told her she wanted to re-evaluate their relationship. Leslie said maybe it's because their sex life was so bad. I never knew this, but, apparently, Amanda wasn't ever really all that affectionate in private. Isn't that strange? The way she'd yell and scream at rallies, I always assumed Amanda was a total lesbian sexual dynamo.' According to friends, Heenan-Lynn started getting 'weird vibes' from Oppel upon her return from a December trip to Barbados with her father, investment banker Jonathan Oppel, 55, and his new wife Cassie, 31. Sources close to the Oppels report that Amanda, who had been distant from her father prior to the vacation, 'really bonded' with him on the trip. She also reportedly spent a great deal of time with fellow travelers and close family friends Greg and Karen Garner, and even more with their son Brad, 23, heir to the Garner office-supply empire. According to a phone conversation overheard by roommate and interpretive-dance performance artist Clytemnestra Moon, Oppel plans to meet Brad Garner in Ibiza over Spring Break. 'This is just beyond comprehension, Amanda giving up The Life to be with the oppressor,' Moon said. 'And she showed such enthusiasm for lesbian consciousness, too. Especially when it came to fundraising.' An ambitious student who was active in student government at her Mamaroneck, NY, high school, Oppel first showed signs of an emergent lesbian identity in September 2000. That fall, shortly after enrolling in an Intro To Women's History course, she began wearing Birkenstock sandals and listening to Ani DiFranco. She quickly rose through the ranks of Oberlin's progressive activist scene, becoming a fixture at Student Empowerment Network meetings. Oppel, post-lesbianism. Her campus political career reached a new peak last year, when, running on a lesbian-empowerment platform, she was elected co-president of the Progressive Student Council Steering Committee. In the fall semester of 2001, Oppel reduced her courseload to just eight credits to devote herself more fully to 'awareness-raising' and her 'Her Turn' column in the alternative student newspaper The Insurrectionist. Throughout her 16-month lesbian tenure, Oppel frequently made provocative, inflammatory pronouncements of lesbian power, often criticizing her male classmates for their 'phallocentric gender slavery.' 'Man, I remember once telling her I thought her friend Liz was kind of cute,' said fellow junior Mike Nygard, 20. 'She got unbelievably offended and lectured me for two hours on Lookism and the society-wide evils of the Male Gaze. At the time, I felt awful and apologized profusely for my insensitivity. I remember thinking how lucky I was to have someone like Amanda to point out how sexist I didn't even know I was being. Now, though, I'm thinking maybe she was just being a sanctimonious, self-righteous bitch. Of course, it would be sexist of me to think that, but I sort of do.' Despite the shock among Oppel's classmates, older lesbians familiar with the situation were not surprised by the gender-preference reversal. 'Really? An East Coast rebel girl suddenly isn't a dyke anymore halfway through her junior year of college? That's shocking,' said Gwen Mims, 46, author and Oberlin women's-studies professor. 'What a stunner. Wow.' Nevertheless, many of Oppel's former peers still cannot bring themselves to believe that her angry-dyke-activist days are over. 'It just doesn't add up,' said Campus Womyn's Caucus chairwomon Mia Petrovich, 20. 'If it's true, that would imply that there is some aspect of collegiate revolutionary Marxist-feminist lesbian identity that is, in some way, less than completely genuine. And that's something my most heartfelt convictions will simply not allow me to accept, at least for the next few semesters, anyway.' 
3	Loyal Obama Supporters Whacked by ObamacareYoutube 
2	Top Generals Publicly Defy Obama At SOTU Speech Recently, during his State of the Union address, President Obama once again made his promise to close the terrorist detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. While the decision is not surprise, its still hard to believe the president is so willing to make decisions without considering the consequences on our national security. It makes no sense to spend $3 million per prisoner to keep open a prison that the world condemns and terrorists use to recruit, Obama told the audience. Since Ive been president, weve work responsibly to cut the population of Gitmo in half. Now it is time to finish the job. Of course, Obama makes no mention of security. Further, he controls the obvious reality that any action taken by the United States against Islamic extremists would be used by terrorist organizations. Finally, the presidents last promise is absurd. Lets not forget that it took 6 years to complete the first round of cuts. And now, Obama is proposing that we do the same amount of work in just two? I will not relent in my determination to shut it down. It is not who we are, Obama concluded. What do you think of Obamas proposal? 
1	The deadly auto wreck that claimed the life of local high school science teacher Donald Vaughan, 47, would have neatly and succinctly illustrated the basic laws of classical mechanics to his fourth-period physics class, sources reported Monday. Having struggled to grasp the rule stating that force is equal to mass times acceleration, Vaughan's students would reportedly have been given an elegant case study in the concept were he still alive to describe the way his 1992 Mazda Protg lethally collided with a large oak tree late Saturday night. Sources also reported that, had Vaughan's students only witnessed their teacher's head separate violently from his spinal cord, they might have finally understood the fundamental idea that an object in motion will tend to stay in motion. 
1	For the 50 billionth consecutive week since its inception, life was revealed to be unfair Monday. Death and suffering continued to be dispersed randomly among the planet's life forms, with such potentially mitigating factors as solid community standing, genetic superiority, and previous good works in no way taken into account. Despite the efforts of the Code of Hamurabi, the U.S. Bill of Rights, and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, life is expected to remain unfair far into the foreseeable future.

You really, really want to build one, but you dont quite know how to pull it off. Lets be honestthe idea of pulling off a garden build can be pretty daunting. You need a lot of supplies, possibly some funds, and, ideally a bunch of people to helpunless you feel like devoting the next couple weekends to digging. Youve heard of barn raising, right? That old tradition of collective community action in which the whole community used to gather together to build a barn for their neighbor. At thrdPlace, a newly-launched local platform for social action, were bringing it back by tapping online community to drive on-the-ground action. So, think barn raising and replace it with community gardens, mural creation, or art pop-ups. We help get the word out and recruit people to get involved by sharing the story of your project through the social networks of each person who comes to your project page and clicks to support your project. What does this look like in real time? This past weekend we helped the Social Justice Learning Institute, a local Los Angeles nonprofit dedicated to improving the education, health, and well being of youth and communities of color by empowering them to enact social change through research, training, and community mobilization, to organize and execute 10 backyard gardens at South L.A. homes as part of their 10 Homes10 Seeds initiative.

2	Obama Silent After Soldiers Killed By Suicide Bombers President Obama likes to pretend that he cares about our men and women in uniform, but time and time again he is proving otherwise. For example, when six United States soldiers were killed by a suicide attack in Afghanistan just before Christmas, President Obama said nothing. Thousands of uniformed police and military officers took to the streets of New York to pay tribute to one of the victims, an NYPD detective and Air National Guardsman Technical Sgt. Joseph G. Lemm. Still, Obama stayed silent. He also ignored the heartbreaking moment when Lemms 4-year-old son moaned Daddy, Daddy! at Lemms funeral. The child repeatedly kept going over to the casket, touching it and crying, until a man dressed in NYPD uniform picked up the bawling boy, held him close to his chest and hugged and comforted him, the New York Post reported. Lemms widow and stepdaughter were also present. What do you think? Are you tired of Obama picking and choosing the incidents he cares about? This is outrageous. 
2	Donald Trump Makes Courageous Announcement About Cabinet That Is Nowhere To Be Found On Mainstream Media In his recent interview with New York Times reporters on Tuesday, Trump made it very clear that he has not interested in adding New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte to his cabinet. Ayotte has been one of the most outspoken Republicans against Trump throughout his campaign. According to Trump, Ayotte would love a job in the administration. Earlier this month, Ayotte lost her re-election bid to New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan. She quickly withdrew her support for Trump in October after the 2005 tape featuring Billy Bush was released to the public. I want to be able to support my partys nominee, chosen by the people, because I feel strongly that we need a change in direction for our country, she said in a statement. However, Im a mom and an American first, and I cannot and will not support a candidate for President who brags about degrading and assaulting women. During the interview, Trump also criticized Rep. Joe Heck of Nevada, who withdrew his support for Trump for the same reason. In October, Heck said, My wife, my daughters, my mom, my sister and all women deserve better. He also lost his most recent campaign to replace Harry Reid in Senate to Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto. Throughout his interview, several reporters were live tweeting highlights from the meeting. Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) November 22, 2016 Trump refuses to walk on eggshells. What do you think? Do you appreciate Trumps fearlessness in speaking his mind? 
1	Astros relief pitcher Russ Springer has been awarded $50,000, the largest negative fine in baseball history, for intentionally throwing at Barry Bonds last Tuesday, the Astros reported. 'After reviewing the tapes, there is no question in my mind that Springer purposefully attempted to strike Bonds, and therefore we have no choice but to give him the stiffest negative financial penalty possible,' MLB vice president of on-field discipline Bob Watson said Wednesday. 'Rest assured that we intend to deal with similar assaults on Bonds in at least this aggressive a fashion.' Springer has said that he does not intend to contest either his fine or the mandatory five-day Tahitian resort suspension he has been scheduled to serve this offseason. 
3	The Real Cause of Mass Shootings and Why Gun Control Will Never WorkAndrew Puhanic, Contributor Due to the recent mass shooting in the Aurora movie theatre, the globalists and opponents of gun ownership and the second amendment in the United States have capitalized on the emotion of a grieving nation to push their false agenda. People deceptively blame guns as the root cause of mass shootings such as the one in the Aurora movie theatre and Port Arthur Australia to push their brainwashed ideological agenda that guns kill people. The cause of these devastating mass shootings is not how easily accessible guns are, but rather that they are the direct result of a lack of adequate mental healthcare and the glorification of violence. Of the most recent mass shooting, the fundamental root cause can be attributed to mental illness and not the accessibility of firearms. In a report commissioned by the United Nations in 2002, it was revealed that on average only 4.1% of total health budgets worldwide was spent on mental health. Even more shocking is that 5.6 million to 8 million Americans age 65 and older have a mental health condition or substance abuse disorder. With such low levels of funding for institutions, services and programs that treat mental illnesses, how can we expect to live in a safe world when people who need treatment are systematically ignored? Therefore, arguments for more stringent gun control are deceptive because the root cause of all problems associated with guns is not being addressed. Considering that the lack of funding and poor treatment of mental illness is the major contributing factor for most mass shootings, the glorification of guns in video games and the media must also be considered to be a contributing factor. Think about it: People are meant to possess guns to protect themselves (or for sport), yet children as young as 5 years old are being exposed to guns in a manner by which makes them fun, entertaining, and connected to aggressive actions. 95% of children and young adults who play video games that are heavily violent understand that guns are dangerous and must be handled with care; however, its the other 5% that dont understand this simple message. Parents who dont teach their children how to respect guns, and instead allow them to be desensitized by the violence and gore of video games should realize the error of their ways. Final Remarks The government and globalists would have you believe that more stringent gun control policies would reduce mass shooting episodes and make the world a safer place. The truth is that more investment in mental health programs would reduce mass shooting episodes and provide the essential services people suffering from mental illness so desperately need. Unfortunately, governments dont want to invest the necessary resources into treating mental illness. Governments believe that investing in mental health wont get them elected, and instead would rather convince you that the only reason mass shooting occur is solely because of guns and nothing else.

2	Miranda Lambert Absolutely Refuse To Back Down After She Takes THIS Massive Stand Against Obama This year, President Obama has attempted to spin tragedies and terrorist attacks to fuel his anti-gun agenda. He may have some people fooled that stricter gun control is the solution, but gun owners know just how important our Second Amendment rights art. Country star Miranda Lambert is one such gun owner, and shes not afraid to speak her mind. The icon, who is known for her popular song Gunpowder and Lead has made it very clear that she will not apologize for carrying a weapon. She wants to be prepared and protected at all times. In the cover issue of Self, Lambert listed 15 things that she will never say sorry forand one of them was taking advantage of her rights. I carry a weapon, Lambert told the magazine. I got a death threat a few years ago and was really scared. But I dont want bodyguards. I am my own security. What do you think of Lamberts comments? 
3	Is China Floating a China-Euro Currency Bloc?By James Corbett 
1	In the wake of the terrorist attacks in Brussels that left over 30 dead and more than 100 injured, an angry and frustrated global populace collectively announced Tuesday that it would make one last attempt to try to understand this shit. Visibly exasperated residents from every country around the world told reporters that, after enduring so much similarly horrific shit in recent years, they would give comprehending barbaric acts of violence against innocent civilians and the intensely complex network of factors that motivate them one more shot before simply throwing their hands up and giving up entirely. Okay, this is itI swear to God this is the last time Im going to sit here and try to make some sense of why these things keep happening, why these people are so angry, and what, if anything, we can possibly do to stop them, said 48-year-old Medford, OR resident Adam Bennett, taking a deep breath and steeling himself for one last effort to gain some insight into this fucking horrible shit. Look, Ive tried. Ive tried to sympathize with the struggles of people in impoverished and war-torn countries. Ive read about fundamentalist religious beliefs, and even the economic issues that lead to violence. But I still dont get it, and to be perfectly honest with you, at this point, I dont know if I ever will. So whatever I learn today is just going to have to do for all the attacks and bombings from here on out, because Ive had itIve fucking had it, Bennett continued. Im done. The thing is, maybe there isnt anything to understand at all. Maybe this cant even be comprehended, no matter how hard we try. According to sources, the inhabitants of every one of the worlds nations plan to give it a few more hours, tops to figure out geopolitical and religious tensions throughout the Middle East; the continuing destabilizing effects of U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; the rise and expansion of ISIS; regional turmoil as a result of the Syrian civil war; centuries-long strife between Muslims, Jews, and Christians; centuries-long strife between Sunni and Shiite Muslims; unrest stemming from British and French governments dividing the Middle East into sovereign states during World War I; the vested interests of Western nations in Middle Eastern oil resources; the ongoing radicalization of young Muslims living in the West; and ultimately, what possible psychological conditions could actually lead a person, even under extreme duress, to make the conscious decision to take the lives of so many others who are simply and peacefully going about their daily lives. Noting repeatedly that they are sick and fucking tired of attempting to gain some understanding of this bullshit, citizens of Europe, Africa, North and South America, Australia, and Asia all confirmed that, at this point, theyre willing to sit down and read maybe one or two more articles and opinion pieces on the subject before calling it quits. Many across the world, however, told reporters they didnt hold much hope for making any sort of breakthrough as to why this shit keeps happening again and again, noting that their past efforts to achieve some sort of perspective certainly hadnt made it any easier to wake up to news that dozens of men, women, and children were yet again savagely murdered in a public place by a bunch of fanatics convinced that the shit they were doing was somehow justified. You know, I could sit here my entire life trying to figure this shit out, and I probably still wouldnt fully understand it, said 57-year-old Patrice Gomis of Dakar, Senegal. The thing is, maybe there isnt anything to understand at all. Maybe this cant even be comprehended, no matter how hard we try. Well, Gomis added, sighing, I guess Ill give it one more go. Reached for comment, government leaders from hundreds of nations expressed similar frustrations over their attempts to make sense of this fucking shit and come up with any realistic ways to prevent the same awful shit from happening in the future. The attacks in Brussels this morning were appalling, tragic, and utterly senseless, and our thoughts are with the victims and their families, said U.N. secretary-general Ban Ki-moon at a press conference in New York City. Seriously, what the fuck is even happening anymore? Why is the world like this? Im the secretary-general of the goddamn United Nations and even I dont understand this shit. Why would anyone ever do this? If anyone has any ideas, please contact me right away, he added, because seriously, this is the last fucking time I put in any effort to figure this shit out. Despite making one more honest effort to comprehend the causes behind it, the worldwide populace sadly confirmed that they already fully understand that this shit will continue happening unabated for the foreseeable future. 
2	Watch This Shocking Video Where Obama Is Caught Is Caught 15 Times In A Row [VIDEO] We all know by now that President Obama likes to stretch, if not completely break, the truth. But this viral video of Obama lying 15 times in a row is pretty shocking. The compilation was put together by a team at the Washington Free Beacon, who sought to highlight Obamas changing position when it comes to putting boots on the ground in Syria. It comes after Obama recently announced that he intends to put 50 American combat troops in the country. I do not foresee a scenario in which boots on the ground in Syria, American boots on the ground in Syria, would not only be good for American but would also be good for Syria, Obama is shown saying in one clip. This would not be another Iraq or Afghanistan, Obama said in September two years ago. There would be no American boots on the ground. Any action we take would be limited, both in time and scope, designed to deter the Syrian government from gassing its own people again and degrade its ability to do so. One year later, he made a similar claim. And the list goes on. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is Obama a disgraceful leader of this country?

3	Genetic programming for the Brave New UtopiaJon Rappoport 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. Here is another gem, from Gregory Stock, former director of the program in Medicine, Technology, and Society at the UCLA School of Medicine: 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 abilitiesand theyll run things. Arent you thrilled? If your children make it through, they may turn out to be half-biological, half-technological. Plexiglass head, two cameras for eyes, titanium feet. Whatever. They were aiming to become the next Mozart? And instead they wound up burning down half the city? Just a glitch in the research. Take the long view. Dont worry, be happy. The debate comes down to who controls, yes, the philosophy. Not the science. Is each human merely and only a system, or is he something more, 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 socialists or Communists or liberals or conservatives or some wackadoodle at Harvard or MIT or UCLA. Us. Notice this: Nowhere in the scenarios for a brave new utopia do we see mention of the human creative impulse. Thats ignored. Instead, somehow, new genes will take care of the whole issue. Those who receive the right ones will suddenly spring full-blown, as Michelangelos. This is sheer nonsense. The truth is, thousands and thousands of genetic experiments will continue to be performed, in the dark, based on a very small amount of knowledge. The grotesque results will be cast aside as unfortunate casualties in the march toward The New World. DNA isnt the key to a better human. Individual freedom and power are, and they launch a process of living and thinking and imagining and creating that cant be short-circuited. Cant be synthesized or fabricated. The philosophy of Scientism is the current paradigm. It extrapolates from the sciences and molds political, economic, and psychological norms that propagate totalitarian societies, based on an absurd materialist view of the human. The awareness you have, at this moment, of being alive is not a function of DNA or the brain. Nothing contained in those structures can account for such awareness. Not the atoms, the electrons, the protons, the nuclei, the quarks, mesons, wavicles But genetic research can be used a cover story to demand a planet with one huge underclass and a few enlightened rulers.

'It is of utmost importance that government maintain openness and transparency so we can better prepare ourselves to be there when Jenny clocks out,' Biden's statement read in part. 'Moving forward, it will be vital to have access to information regarding her schedule, phone number, and whether or not those legs go up all the way.' Biden then contacted his sources in the Labor Department to request Britmore's resum in order to better determine if she would let the attorney general watch. 
2	Teacher Makes Sick Comment About Trump To Her Students... No Media Backlash With teachers losing forgetting their professionalism left and right, its a scary time to be a parent. Weve seen story after story about professors bashing Donald Trump is an effort to brainwash their studentsbut this one might take the cake. According to reports from The Huffington Post, Olga Perez Stable Cox, a professor of psychology at Orange Coast College, has gone viral for making inflammatory remarks during her class on human sexuality. One of her students caught her inappropriate rants on video, and its disturbing to watch. Not only does she suggest that Trump is a white supremacist, she calls Vice President-elect Mike Pence one of the most anti-gay humans in this country. The Huffington Post released a transcript of Coxs comments, including her statement beginning, white supremacist and a vice president that is one of the most anti-humans in this country. And so we are in for a difficult time, but again, I do believe that we can get past that. She then goes on to call the results of the presidential election an act of terrorism. Our nation is divided, we have been assaulted, the professor insists. Its an act of terrorism. One of the most frightening things for me and most people in my life is that the people creating the assault are among us, she continues. It is not some stranger from some other country coming and attacking our sense of what it means to be an American and the things that we stand for and that makes it more painful because Im sure that all of us have people in our families and our circle of friends that are part of that movement and it is very difficult. We are way beyond Republicans and Democrats, and were really being back to being at civil warI dont mean that in a fighting way, but our nation is divided as clearly as it was in Civil War times. What do you think? Does this professor need to be fired? 
2	BREAKING: Obama Intervenes, Forcing Israel To Hand Over Land To Terrorists Amid a short break in the action between Israel and Hamas, Israel has started to dedicate some of its resources to the West Bank and Syria. Now, the Free Syrian Army and Al Nusra Front have begun to take positions in the Golan Heights, threatening Israel with a major attack. According to the Jerusalem Post, both the EU and the US are taking a stand against Israel for making moves in their settlement in the West Bank. In fact, Secretary of State John Kerry is expected to discuss the issue with Prime Minister Netanyahu. Jen Psaki, State Department spokesperson, has also expressed public concern about the issue, especially as Palestine stands firmly behind their claim to the land. The State Department has also expressed concern over the renewal of building by Israel in east Jerusalem, claiming that the construction in not conducive to a two state solution. The EU has firmly claimed that they will not recognize any changes to the pre-1967 borders. According to them, the move is a violation of the law. Israel is even facing criticism from with its own government. Many dont understand the timing of the push for land. Israel believes that the lands will be returned to them in a final two-state peace agreement, given that the areas were formerly Jewish lands that were conceded to the Palestinians. Still, many feel that the Obama administration should not be getting involved in this issue, allowing them to work within their own country. It does not seem unreasonable that Israel would have a desire to create new settlements, given the imminent threat of attack that they are facing on a daily basis. What do you think? Do you support Israel? 
2	Sean Hannity Steps On Shep Smiths Throat After He Tried To Mock Him Live On The Air [WATCH] Fox News reporter Shepard Smith quickly lost the support of viewers during this election season. Things only got worse for him this month when he attempted to insult his colleague Sean Hannity. When the opinion of people says things and then later we get facts that are different, and I report those, everybody would love for there to be a war going on her, Smith commented. But its not like that. Everybodys got a job to do, he added. Hannity is trying to get conservatives elected. And he wants you to listen to him and believe what he believes. And Im disseminating facts. Its really apples and teaspoons. What we do is so different, Smith continued. Hes an entertaining guy who has an audience that he serves, and I deliver the news. His is probably easierhe knows what he thinks and just sticks with it. This stuff changes all the time. As it turns out, the joke is on Smith. Hannitys ratings have been through the roof. Many fans are appreciative of the fact that he has stayed loyal to his party throughout this tumultuous election process. We cant say the same for Shep. 
2	Trump Support Destroys Hillary Clinton To Her Face, BILL IS A RAPIST... Watch What Happens Next Earlier this month, the FBI dropped a bombshell on the Clinton campaign when they announced they had reopened the investigation into Hillary Clintons use of a personal email server as Secretary of State. Since then, the Democratic presidential nominee has taken a dive in the polls, and the stress is clearly taking its toll. Clinton lost it on a protestor in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Tuesday after he accused her husband of being a rapist. As Clinton delivered her speech, the protestor interrupted her, screaming, Bill Clinton is a rapist! You know, I am sick and tired of the negative, dark, divisive vision from people who support Donald Trump, Clinton shouted into the crowd. We are not going backwards, we are going forwards! Its interesting to note Clinton made no effort to actually defend her husband from the accusation. So how do we do that? she instead continued. For the next seven days, we focus on what is important. Dont get distracted. Dont get diverted. Focus on the country and the world we want to help create. Watch a video of the incident below and tell us what you think. Is Hillary clearly hiding something?

3	Majority Says Feds Should Stay Out of Marijuana Legalization StatesPhillip Smith The poll was conducted December 5 and 6 among 1,000 adults. It has a margin of error of +/- 3.4%. The poll comes as the Obama administration ponders how to respond to last months passage of marijuana legalization measures Amendment 64 in Colorado and I-502 in Washington. While possession of up to an ounce by adults became legal last week in Washington and will become legal within weeks in Colorado, both states have a matter of months to come up with regulatory structures for commercial marijuana cultivation and distribution. There has been speculation that the administration may attempt to block the regulatory and tax components on the initiatives, but this poll suggest little support for that among the public. This is the second poll this month to find a majority saying the question of legalization should be left to the states. ACBS News poll last week had 59% of respondents saying it should be up to the states. Like the YouGuv poll, this poll had only about one-third (34%) saying it should be up to the federal government. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	The CIA announced Monday that it suspects Saddam Hussein's latest televised address was pre-recorded, pointing to its suspiciously dated reference to Nelly's 'Hot In Herre,' a rap hit from the summer of 2002. In a message believed to be pre-taped, Saddam warns the U.S. about rising heat levels in Iraq. 'For the enemy invaders of Iraq, it soon will get truly hot in here,' Hussein said in the speech, which was televised worldwide Monday. 'No amount of clothing removal will be sufficient to withstand the fiery inferno that awaits them on the battlefield.' Many U.S. officials have speculated that Saddam may have been killed or injured in the initial March 19 air attacks on Baghdad, suggesting that his subsequent televised speeches were recorded weeks or even months ago. 'The 'hot in here' line has definitely raised some eyebrows,' CIA director George Tenet said. 'However, this may not prove anything: Even though that song is nine months old, you still hear people referencing its chorus all the time. It's even in the new Chris Rock movie.' Despite the inconclusive nature of the Nelly reference, CIA analysts have found a number of other clues suggesting that the speech was not broadcast live. 'About three minutes into the speech, a man briefly walks across the screen with what appears to be a copy of Entertainment Weekly,' Tenet said. 'He opens the magazine and, for a split second, it's possible to faintly make out a full-page ad promoting the debut episode of The Rerun Show.' In addition to the visual evidence, Tenet cited certain tellingly dated passages from the speech. 'In one section, Saddam vowed that he would crush Bush 'like Kelly Clarkson crushing the inferior Nikki McKibbin,'' Tenet said. 'He then went on to praise his elite Republican Guard, saying that they 'will leave the Americans as bewildered as Ozzy Osbourne trying to operate a television remote control.'' The Saddam speech, CIA analysts noted, seems intentionally vague, conspicuously lacking in any specific details about the current conflict. 'Victory will soon be ours,' a defiant Hussein said. 'Unlike the [Major League Baseball] All-Star Game, this will not end in a tie.' 
1	Although Red Sox outfielder Manny Ramirez was present for the official team visit to the White House, he did not meet the president due to being preoccupied with rolling on the Rose Garden lawn and playing tug-of-war with Barney, the Bush family's Scottish terrier, the Red Sox organization announced Wednesday. 'Hey, perro! Perro! Come here! You want to play with Manny? Sure you do! Yes, you do! Hey! Come back!' Ramirez can be faintly heard to say in the background of the taped record of the ceremony, although cameras did not record Ramirez chasing the First Dog through the shrubbery or swinging the dog around in circles with Ramirez's sock clenched firmly in his jaw. Although Ramirez has posted photos of minor bites, supposedly inflicted by Barney, on his website, White House officials have dismissed the wounds as 'just Barney being Barney.' 
3	Largest Criminal Penalty In U.S. History Levied Against BPselfnews Post Two men who worked for BP during the 2010 Gulf oil spill disaster have been charged with manslaughter and a third with lying to federal investigators, according to indictments made public Thursday, hours after BP announced it was paying $4.5 billion in a settlement with the U.S. government over the disaster. (Source) As the video report below highlights, the $4.5 billion appears to be only the beginning of financial penalties. If properly fined under The Clean Water Act, the company could be hit with up to $21 billion in additional penalties. BP has tried to sponsor ads for tourism to the Gulf by injecting $100 million into a campaign to make people believe that the region is the Best Place for sunny and healthy living. With such a claim, perhaps marketing fraud should be added to their list of crimes. Read other articles by selfnews Post Here linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	BREAKING: Moderator Chris Wallace Announces SHOCKING News Right Before The Debate... This Changes Everything The pressure was on Chris Wallace this week, as moderator of the third and final presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. He was under immense scrutiny, particularly because millions of conservatives believe that the first two presidential debates were rigged against Trump. Shortly before he took the stage, Wallace provided insight into his preparation strategy. Wallace told reporters he believes his role as moderator meant being more of a time keeper than a fact-checker. His goal going into the debate was to interrupt the candidates as little as possible. An interviewits you and the candidate, and youre the person holding them to account, Wallace said in an interview last weekend. This is a debate. And, you know, theyre both going to be on the stage. If I think theres a need for me to intervene, I will, but I would prefer not to. You make yourself too big a figure as moderator in the debate, its not a debate anymore, Wallace added. Its like a couple of side-by-side news conferences and I dont think that is your point. Of course, the liberal media quickly went after Wallace for his comments. These attacks continued through the debates, with many liberals claiming Wallace went easy on Trump. How do you think Wallace did at the debates on Wednesday? Was he a fair moderator? 
2	Employer Fires 53 Muslim Employees Because They Stopped Work To Pray Over the past few years, employers have been required to bend over backwards to accommodate Sharia lawsoften at the cost of business. But this might be an oversight on the part of the employers, given that the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission clearly states that an employer does not have to accommodate an employees religious beliefs or practices if doing so would cause undue hardship of the employer. An example of this is decreased efficiency. That law did not stop Ariens Manufacturing from coming under fire recently, however. Ariens was forced to release 53 Muslim employees working at its Green Bay facility after they continued to leave their positions on the assembly line to pray, without the approval of management. The ten minute delay was causing significant production interruptions, and the company was sick of it. Of course, CAIR has already targeted the company and is urging them to change their policies. Were hoping they stay strong on this one. 
2	Obamas Mistress Comes Forward Chaos Ensues For years now, the public has questioned whether Barack and Michelle Obama really live in the marital bliss they pretend to. Numerous incidents have pointed otherwise, and now it appears that Obama may be in hot water with the First Lady, after a rumored affair. According to reports, Vera Baker is a woman who worked on Obamas campaign when he ran for senate in 2004. She was one of the top fundraisers on his team, was beautiful, and is rumored to have been one of Obamas most serious mistresses. The Examiner reported that in 2004 Baker was dropped off at a Chicago hotel where she spent the evening with Obama. Baker now lives on the Caribbean Island of Martinique, which friends say is a consequence for her actions. Reportedly, Michelle discovered the affair and sent Baker packing. What do you think? Was Obama having an affair? 
3	Google Releases New Copyright Transparency ReportParker Higgins Though Google has posted the content of takedown requests to Chilling Effects where possible before, this report presents the data collectively (and graphically) for the first time. Striking is the sheer volume of takedown notices Google receives: in just the last month, it processed over 1.2 million requests for Search alone, from 1,296 copyright owners and 1,087 reporting organizations. That scale allows it to present trends in the data that might not otherwise be apparent. For example, even in the case of notorious pirate sites like The Pirate Bay, Google has received takedown notices for less than 5% of their indexable pages. Google explains that its complied with 97% of takedown requests received between July and December of 2011, but also provides examples of obviously invalid copyright requests its received. Those examples range from cases of negligent over-application, such as movie studios who have attempted to remove lun entries or links to legitimate trailers for their movies, to clear attempts at censorship, such as businesses who have issued takedown requests for employee accounts of unfair treatment. Of course, there are even more ridiculous examples: the report describes a reporting company sending a takedown notice for links to earlier takedown notices that obviously did not infringe. Given its importance as a starting point for many users, removal from Googles index can have devastating consequences on speech. Google has done the right thing by pushing back on bogus takedown notices, both by reviewing and rejecting those requests the first time, and by publishing real data about the behavior of copyright holders and reporting organizations. As with the government transparency reports, reporting on copyright notices can expose bad practices and allow people to assign blame where it belongs: with the people abusing the system. We hope this is just the beginning: Google should extend the program out to their other properties like YouTube and Blogger, and other online service providers should follow suit. linkwithin_text=Related Articles:

3	A House Divided Over NSA Spying on AmericansBy Dr. Ron Paul Had Amashs amendment passed, it would have been a significant symbolic victory over the administrations massive violations of our Fourth Amendment protections. But we should be careful about believing that even if it had somehow miraculously survived the Senate vote and the Presidents veto, it would have resulted in any significant change in how the Intelligence Community would behave toward Americans. The US government has built the largest and most sophisticated spying apparatus in the history of the world. The NSA has been massively increasing the size its facilities, both at its Maryland headquarters and in its newly built (and way over-budget) enormous data center in Utah. Taken together, these two facilities will be seven times larger than the Pentagon! And we know now that much of the NSAs capacity to intercept information has been turned inward, to spy on us. As NSA expert James Bamford wrote earlier this year about the new Utah facility: 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. Over the last week we have seen two significant prison-breaks, one in Iraq, where some 500 al-Qaeda members broke out of the infamous Abu Ghraib prison, which the US built, and another 1,000 escaped in a huge break in Benghazi, Libya the city where the US Ambassador was killed by the rebels that the US government helped put in power. Did the US intelligence community, focused on listening to our phone calls, not see this real threat coming? Rep. Amashs amendment was an important move to at least bring attention to what the US intelligence community has become: an incredibly powerful conglomeration of secret government agencies that seem to view Americans as the real threat. It is interesting that the votes on Amashs amendment divided the House not on party lines. Instead, we saw the votes divided between those who follow their oath to the Constitution, versus those who seem to believe that any violation of the Constitution is justified in the name of the elusive security of the police state at the expense of liberty. The leadership not to my surprise of both parties in the House voted for the police state. It is encouraging to see the large number of votes crossing party lines in favor of the Amash amendment. Let us hope that this will be a growing trend in the House perhaps the promise that Congress may once again begin to take its duties and obligations seriously. We should not forget, however, that in the meantime another Defense Appropriations bill passing really means another military spending bill. The Administration is planning for a US invasion of Syria, more military assistance to the military dictatorship in Egypt, and more drones and interventionism. We have much work yet to do.

3	Israels Undisputed Role in Training Middle East TerroristsBrandon Turbeville The fact that Anglo-American powers have acted as directors of the death squads in terms of organization, funding, training, and supply has been known for some time. I, myself, have written several articles on this topic as well as on the fact that the intent to organize death squads to destabilize Syrian on behalf of the Anglo-American powers was known to exist at least as far back as 2005.[1] The Israeli desire to destroy Syria has also been readily apparent[2] through the numerous attempts by the Mad Dog of the Middle East to encourage bombing, military action, and outright invasion of Syria whenever the opportunity to ride the coattails of some engineered propaganda blitz presents itself. Indeed, Israel, always ready to fight to the last American, continually promotes and threatens to engage in unilateral military assaults against any number of its neighbors or other regional nations, even approving the direct bombing of Syrian targets on more than one occasion.[3] Yet, in addition to such brazen warmongering and rogue behavior, Israel has also become instrumental in the funding and facilitation of death squad terrorists in both Syria and the rest of the Arab world. Whats more, the Israeli establishment does not seem to feel the need to hide its support for terrorism which, in this specific instance, tends to take the form of mercenaries. Indeed, the Israeli terrorist trainers actually appear to be quite open about their efforts. As the report begins, one can see a multicultural group of men Arabs, Africans, Europeans, etc. dressed in typical Arab clothing, riding camels, and taking part in tactical training. The men on these camels have been training for the past week to operate in the Arab world, OSullivan says. They dress as Arabs, even take a ride on a desert Ferrari [camel] and learn rudimentary phrases that will allow them to do their job. They have come to Israel to learn from former members of the countrys secret services. The report continues by saying, On this training base, run by the International Security Academy Israel, they are tapping into Israels unique experience in dealing with these threats and learning counterterrorism techniques in convoy and [VIP? ] protection. The changes in the Middle East may be dubbed the Arab Spring but, to continue with another metaphor, its about to get hot. Out here far away from prying eyes, a group of personal protection specialists have come to Israel to learn about the Israeli tactics. Their background is diverse from police to military officers even a former French Legionnaire. They will go on to work for governments and private security contractors. In an interview with one of the students, the future mercenary stated, Only the best can train here with the best. I have this feeling that I was . . . something like was bringing me here . . . something was like Go. Go and do it now. Another mercenary who was interviewed, stated, Well, I learn a lot because Israel have bring up a standard of training that everyone in the world will have to emulate from them. And, with this, as Im going back, I think I will take what I have learned in Israel, to impart on my fellow colleagues. The narrator then adds, But its an expensive program, costing upwards of $2,000 Euros a week. But this can be a lucrative profession, earning thousands of Euros a day. Just dont call them mercenaries. Still, OSullivan ends by saying, This line of work is one of the oldest in the world. Still, it seems like it is always in demand. A mercenary who appeared to be from Singapore, named Venky Raman, also chimed in. Some of those dictatorships governments have fallen basically. And thats going to create new chaos and confusion in the market. And thats also going to create some instability in the market. So thats why I think were getting more of these incidents and terrorist attacks and such going to happen. While the individuals seen in the clip mentioned above are largely mercenaries who themselves either train the dupes and deviants who take on the role as cannon fodder for Jihad, only engaging in limited combat operations, it is clear the only allegiance they have is to the almighty dollar. Ironically, however, the individuals who make up the bulk of death squad invasions across the Arab world religious fanatics, savages, and the criminally insane maintain an open hatred for Israel. That is, those death squad members at the bottom who are either ignorant of the fact that Israel itself is a major backer of their own movement or those wholly incapable of understanding anything other than what their faction leader has told them are caught somewhere between tragedy and farce. In the end, the Syrian people are the real victims. But even the death squad members, with fantastic dreams of a caliphate, Sharia law, and fanatical paradise, are nothing more than victims of a much bigger agenda, as Israel and the West laugh all the way to the bank.

3	Turkish Invasion Of Syria Reveals Vortex Of InterestsBy Brandon Turbeville The United States is stating publicly (although public statements do not always mirror behind-the-scenes agendas) that fighting between Turkey, Turk-supported rebels (aka ISIS, al-Qaeda, FSA), and Kurdish forces is unacceptable and that the clashes must stop. The U.S. envoy to the anti-ISIS coalition, Brett McGukr, stated that fighting in areas where ISIS was not present is a source of deep concern. According to the BBC, Turkish forces have attacked what they say are Kurdish terrorists since crossing the border last week. But the Kurdish YPG militia says Turkey just wants to occupy Syrian territory. Ankara says it aims to push both IS and Kurdish fighters away from its border. Turkish forces and allied factions of the rebel Free Syrian Army (FSA) forced IS out of the Syrian border city of Jarablus on Tuesday and have since pounded neighbouring villages held by Kurdish-led, US-backed Syria Democratic Forces (SDF). The Turkish military carried out 61 artillery strikes around Jarablus over the past 24 hours Reuters news agency reported on Monday, Turkey has insisted Kurdish militia, which it regards as terrorists, retreat east across the Euphrates river. For its part, Turkey has refused to buckle to the public statements of the United States with Omer Celik stating that No one has the right to tell us which terrorist organization we can fight against. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu stated that the YPG is attempting to seize territory where Kurds have not had a tradition of making up a large ethnic bloc. This much, at least, is undeniably true. The YPG is engaged in ethnic cleansing, they are placing who they want to in those places, he said. The YPG, while denying that its forces were West of the Euphrates, responding by saying that the Turks merely want a pretext to annex Syrian land. In terms of Turkish military progress, Reuters reports: On Monday, Turkish-backed forces had advanced on Manbij, a city about 30 km (20 miles) south of Turkeys border captured this month by the SDF with U.S. help. The Turkish military said it was also shifting operations westwards, which would take it into territory still under Islamic State control. . . . . . On Monday, Turkish-backed forces had advanced on Manbij, a city about 30 km (20 miles) south of Turkeys border captured this month by the SDF with U.S. help. The Turkish military said it was also shifting operations westwards, which would take it into territory still under Islamic State control. Sources on the ground inside Ayn al-Arab (Kobane) are reporting that the Turkish military has reached the outskirts of the city. Claims are now being made that the Turks are considering building a wall to separate the two countries. The Turkish invasion is predicated on the basis of fighting ISIS, a wholly unbelievable goal since Turkey itself has been supporting, training, and facilitating ISIS since day one. Not only that, but Turkey is arriving in Syria with terrorists in tow since, as the BBC reported, Between nine and 12 tanks crossed the frontier, followed by pick-up trucks believed to be carrying hundreds of fighters from Turkish-backed factions of the rebel Free Syrian Army (FSA). If Turkey was interested in stopping terrorism, why would they lead the charges for more terrorists to enter Syria? Indeed, if stopping terrorism was truly Turkeys goal, it is capable of sealing the border from its own side without any need for invasion so why the war the party? Turkeys interests do not lie in stopping terrorism. Far from it. Turkeys foreign policy and military decision to invade Syria are based along three lines; its desire for more territory (which it believes was stolen from it long ago), its willingness to continue working with NATO in its attempt to destroy the secular government of Syria, and its concern over the Kurdish expansion. With this invasion, Turkey has solidified its willingness to risk outright war with Syria and perhaps even Russia in order to fulfill the goals of NATO and Anglo-American powers who have sought to destroy Syria from the beginning. Part of this strategy is the creation of buffer zones and safe zones in the north, precisely the concepts that were re-floated and discussed by the United States and U.K. only days before the invasion. Note that the invasion and operations are centering around Jarablus, the eastern border of the famed Jarablus corridor which, bordered by Afrin and Azaz in the West, make up the last fully functioning terrorist supply routes coming in from Turkey. These were precisely the dimensions that were discussed by Western think tanks and NGOs in regards to what a safe zone in Syria should look like. Although argued on the basis of giving civilians somewhere to go the zones were supposed to be controlled by moderate Western-backed terrorists and were clearly designed to prevent the Syrian government and Russian forces from closing the supply routes coming from the Turkish side of the border into Syria. This safe haven is also a way for the neo-Ottoman Erdogan to lay claim to more territory in order to placate his dream of becoming the 21st Century equivalent of the leader of the Turkish empire. At the very least, this desire for more land under the Turkish flag will lead to a situation similar to that of the Golan Heights, which Israel has illegally occupied for decades but which there is frequent threat of military action and controversy. Erdogan is also incredibly concerned about the growing Kurdish movement both inside Turkey and in Syria. With the Kurds gaining more and more territory in the north of Syria, in large part because of support being given by the United States, as well as Kurds in Iraq becoming more and more willing to work with YPG Kurds in Syria and the growing interest of dissent and military operations inside Turkey by the PKK, Erdogan is undoubtedly concerned that the Kurds could decide to unite and initiate a massive campaign for autonomy and independence or, at the very least, inspire Turkish Kurds to launch a revolution. While the wheels of the propaganda machine is turning on the screens of Westerners in the US and Europe, the plan to carve out a Kurdistan is taking a much more violent form in Syria and Iraq. The ability to remove all forces within the borders of what would be called Kurdistan (except for the Kurdish forces) has been the result of constant U.S. bombing and death squad herding around towns like Ayn al-Arab (Kobane), Tal Abyad, and others where the Kurds have been able to outline their territory by virtue of military prowess. After all, the US bombing has done nothing but strengthen ISIS at every other location in Syria and Iraq, while even bombing Syrian infrastructure and Iraqi military forces directly, and accidentally airdropping of support to ISIS. In the Kurdish areas, however, such bombing seems to be functioning as a primitive and violent method of border shaping that will outline the Kurdish territory from the Syrian and Iraqi territories. Increasing ISIS forces in Ayn al-Arab (Kobane) significantly hampers the ability of the Syrian Army to respond to defeat those forces in these specific areas, thus cutting off Ayn al-Arab from the Syrian Army and leaving the Kurdish areas to the devices of the Kurds as the ISIS forces are beaten back from inside the borders of the developing Kurdistan. Leaving the question of the legitimacy of a Kurdistan aside for a while and acknowledging the heroism of the Kurds in their fight against ISIS, Nusra, and other terrorist forces, it should be noted that the Kurds have found some very unsavory allies in the process. Most notably, those unsavory allies turn out to be the United States and the Free Syrian Army (proxy terrorists of the US and NATO). For instance, the United States has been tacitly supporting the Kurdish fighters in Iraq for some time under the pretext of assisting them in their fight against ISIS, despite the fact that the United States has armed, trained, funded, facilitated, and directed ISIS from the beginning. The United States has allegedly stopped short of directly arming the Kurds but it has maintained very close ties with them. Some would even argue that, with the exception of the ISIS fighters themselves, the Kurds have more friendly relations with the U.S. than the Iraqi government. The US government has been attempting to pass legislation to directly arm the Kurdish and Sunni forces in Iraq for some time, recently passing part of that legislation in the form of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2016 (although differences in the House and Senate version are currently being worked out). The arming of the Kurds directly in Iraq, along with the Sunni forces, would thus create the perception of fully separate and independent principalities, free from the control of the Iraqi central government, leading to the breakup of the country as a whole into three separate entities a Kurdish segment, Sunni segment, and Shiite segment. Such a plan has long been in the works for Iraq and, if the US continues its support of Kurds in Syria, the situation is ripe for the appearance of a Kurdistan entity across the borders of Iraq and Syria. Indeed, much like the plan to break up Iraq into three separate parts in Iraq, a similar plan was devised for Syria in the absence of total destruction in the same vein as Libya. While the question of accepting arms may easily be explained by the gold is where you find it motive, the fact that the YPG is now working directly with the Free Syrian Army (FSA) is further evidence of collusion between NATO/US and the YPG. While presented as moderate by the mainstream western press, the FSA is nothing more than al-Qaeda, ISIS, and Nusra. Indeed, there is no such thing as a moderate rebel in Syria and there never has been. The FSA is documented to have committed massive atrocities and the groups directed, armed, controlled and funded by the US are intent upon implementing Sharia law on the subjugated populations. As I and other researchers have documented, the FSA is nothing more than a wing of al-Qaeda/ISIS and has even publicly stated that it was working with the terrorist organizations (also funded, trained, armed, and directed by the West) in the past. The fact that the YPG would be willing to cooperate with the FSA is telling but the fact that the FSA would be willing to cooperate with the YPG is even more telling. After all, the Iraqi Kurds have long been connected to US intelligence and military operations in the past. With an increase of signs of cooperation between the YPG and their Iraqi counterparts, one can only wonder if the events transpiring on the ground in relation to the Kurds in Syria, Iraq, and Turkey are part of an overarching US plan to finally carve out a pound of geographic flesh out of Iraq and Syria. Unfortunately for the Kurds, the history of their community and the US has been one of short-term usefulness and treachery. Seldom have the Kurds benefited from supporting American actions or working in the service of US geopolitical agendas, whether wittingly or unwittingly. In almost every single circumstance, the Kurds have provided yeomens service in the name of destabilization and the strategy of tension but have been left holding the bag in the end. That bag almost always contains horrific slaughter and subsequent oppression of the Kurdish people. The legitimacy of anything resembling a Kurdistan in Syria, however is easily disproven as a justifiable option. As Maram Susli wrote in her article Why A Kurdish Enclave In Syria Is A Bad Idea, for Global Independent Analytics, The region of Al Hasakah, which the Kurdish Nationalist Party (PYD) and its military wing YPG have declared a Kurdish federal state, does not have a Kurdish majority. Al Hasakah Governorate is a mosaic of Assyrian Christians, Armenians, Turkmen, Kurds and Bedouin Arabs. Of the 1.5 million population of Al Hasakah, only 40% are ethnically Kurdish. Moreover, parts of Al Hasakah Governorate, such as Al Hasakah district, is less than 15% Kurdish (!). Among the other large minorities in the area the Arabs and Assyrian Christians form a majority. Declaring a small area with a wide array of ethnic groups as belonging to a specific ethnic minority is a recipe for oppression. The Kurdish population of Al Hasakah has also been heavily infiltrated by illegal Kurdish immigration from Turkey. Kurdish immigration to Syria began in the 1920s and occurred in several waves after multiple failed Kurdish uprisings against Turkey. It continued throughout the century. In 2011 the Kurdish population in Syria reached between 1.6 to 2.3 million, but 420,000 of these left Syria for Iraq and Turkey as a result of the current conflict. Some Syrian Kurds have lived in Homs and Damascus for hundreds of years and are heavily assimilated into the Syrian society. However, Kurdish illegal immigrants who mostly reside in north Syria, and who could not prove their residence in Syria before 1945, complain of oppression when they were not granted the rights of Syrian citizens. Syrian law dictates that only a blood born Syrian whose paternal lineage is Syrian has a right to Syrian citizenship. No refugee whether Somali, Iraqi or Palestinian has been granted Syrian citizenship no matter how long their stay. In spite of this, in 2011 the Syrian President granted Syrian citizenship to 150,000 Kurds. This has not stopped the YPG from using illegal Kurdish immigrants who were not granted citizenship as a rationale for annexing Syrian land. Those who promote Federalism are imposing the will of a small minority that is not of Syrian origin on the whole of Al Hasakahs population and the whole of Syria. . . . . . PYD did not bother to consult with other factions of Syrian society before its unilateral declaration of Federalism. The other ethnicities that reside in Al Hasake governate, which PYD claims is now an autonomous Kurdish state, have clearly rejected federalism. An assembly of Syrian clans and Arab tribes in Al Hasaka and the Assyrian Democratic Organization (ADO) rejected PYDs federalism declaration. In Geneva, both the Syrian government and the opposition rejected PYDs federalism declaration. Furthermore, PYD does not represent all of Syrias Kurdish population. The Kurdish faction of Syrian national coalition condemned PYDs federalism declaration. Most of Syrias Kurds do not live in Al Hasakah and many that do work outside it. Thousands of Kurds have joined ISIS and are fighting for an Islamic State not a Kurdish one. A unilateral declaration of federalism carries no legitimacy since federalism can only exist with a constitutional change and a Referendum. Federalism is unlikely to garner much support from the bulk of Syrias population, 90-93% of whom is not Kurdish. Knowing this, PYD has banned residents of Al Hasakah from voting in the upcoming Parliamentary elections to be held across the nation. This shows the will of the people in Al Hasakah is already being crushed by PYD. It is undemocratic to continue to discuss federalism as a possibility when it has been rejected by so many segments of Syrian society. Ironically we are told the purpose of the US Regime change adventure in Syria is to bring democracy to the middle east. . . . . . . While Kurds make up only 7-10% of Syrias total population, PYD demands 20% of Syrias land. Whats more, the region of Al hasakah, which YPG wants to annex has a population of only 1.5 million people. Much of Syrias agriculture and oil wealth is located in Al Hasakah and is shared by Syrias 23 million people. Al Hasakah province produces 34% of Syrias wheat and much of Syrias oil. The oil pumping stations are now being used by ISIS and YPGs Kurds to fund their war efforts while depriving the Syrian people. While headlines abound about Syrias starving population, there is little talk of how federalising Syria could entrench this starvation into law for generations to come. Instead, promoters of Federalism talk about how giving the resources shared by 23 million people to 1.5 million people will lead to peace. . . . . . . Since the majority of Syrias population and Syrias government oppose Kurdish annexation claims, PYD will not be able to achieve federalism through legal means. The only way the PYD and YPG can achieve federalism is through brute force. This brute force may backed by the US air force and an invasion by special forces which contradicts international law. Head of PYD Saleh Islam has already threatened to attack Syrian troops if they attempt to retake Raqqa from ISIS. A Kurdish state in Syria as the Iraqi Kurdistan ensures US hegemony in the region. Like the KRG [1] the YPG are already attempting to build a US base on Syrian soil. Russia, which has been an ally of Syria for a long time, will be further isolated as a result. This will once again tip the balance of power in the world. All of Syrias neighbouring countries are also opposed to an ethnocentric Kurdish state in Syria. The YPG is linked to the PKK, which is active in Turkey and which the United Nations has designated a terrorist organisation. Turkey will see YPGs federalism claims as strengthening the PKK. Turkey may invade Syria as a result, guaranteeing at least a regional war. This regional war could involve Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and Israel. Israel wants to establish a Kurdistan, as a Sunni-Iranian rival to Shiite Iran. They hope such a Sunni state will block Irans access to Syria and will also prevent Lebanese resistance against Israeli invasion. This was all outlined in Israels Yinon Plan published in 1982. Israel is an extension of US influence and hegemony in the region, the Israeli lobby holds much sway over US politics. Strengthening Israel in the region will strengthen US influence over the region, once again shrinking Russian influence and pushing the nuclear power into a corner. Journalists who show a sense of confusion about the reason the West is supportive of Kurdish expansionism should consider this point. Finally, a designated Kurdish area in Syria is deeply rooted in ethnocentric chauvinism. A US state strictly designated for Hispanic, White or Black ethnicity would be outrageous to suggest and would be considered racist. But the use of ethnicity as a means to divide and conquer is the oldest and most cynical form of imperialism. Syria must remain for all Syrians, not just for one minority. Voices who oppose this should be discouraged. The Syrian Constitution should continue to resist all ethnocentric religious-based parties. If there is a change to the Syrian constitution, it should be the removal of the word Arab from Syrian Arab Republic. In spite of the fact that the vast majority Syrians speak the Arabic language, the majority of Syrian are historically not ethnically Arab. All sections of Syrian society should be treated equally under the Syrian flag. One can scarcely argue with the points made by Susli. In addition to those listed above, however, Susli also draws attention to the question of Kurdish ethnic cleansing campaigns that could be potentially launched against Assyrians and Christians. She writes, Since the Kurdish population is not a majority in the areas PYD are trying to annex, the past few years have revealed that PYD/YPG are not beyond carrying out ethnic cleansing of non-Kurdish minorities in an attempt to achieve a demographic shift. The main threat to Kurdish ethnocentric territorial claims over the area are the other large minorities, the Arabs and the Assyrian Christians. Salih Muslim, the leader of PYD, openly declared his intention to conduct an ethnic cleansing campaign against Syrian Arabs who live in what he now calls Rojava. One day those Arabs who have been brought to the Kurdish areas will have to be expelled, said Muslim in an interview with Serek TV. Over two years since that interview he has fulfilled his word, as YPG begun burning Arab villages around Al Hasakah Province hoping to create a demographic shift. It is estimated that ten thousand Arabs have been ethnically cleansed from Al Hasake province so far. The villages around Tal Abayad have suffered the most as Kurdish expansionists seek to connect the discontiguous population centres of Al Hasakah and Al Raqqa. The YPG burnt our village and looted our houses, said Mohammed Salih al-Katee, who left Tel Thiab Sharki, near the city of Ras al-Ayn, in December. In addition, Susli points out that such campaigns are not without precedent. She continues, YPG have also begun a campaign of intimidation, murder and property confiscation against the Assyrian Christian minority. The YPG and PYD made it a formal policy to loot and confiscate the property of those who had escaped their villages after an ISIS attack, in the hope of repopulating Assyrian villages with Kurds. The Assyrians residents of the Khabur area in Al Hasaka province formed a militia called the Khabour Guard in the hope of defending their villages against ISIS attacks. The Khabur Guard council leaders protested the practice of looting by Kurdish YPG militia members who looted Assyrian villages that were evacuated after ISIS attacked them. Subsequently, the YPG assassinated the leader of the Khabur Guard David Jindo and attempted to Assassinate Elyas Nasser. At first, the YPG blamed the assassination on ISIS but Elyas Nasser, who survived, was able to expose the YPGs involvement from his hospital bed. Since the assassination YPG has forced the Khabour Guard to disarm and to accept YPG protection. Subsequently, most Assyrian residents of the Khabour who had fled to Syrian Army controlled areas of Qamishli City could not return to their villages. The Assyrian Christian community in Qamishli has also been harassed by YPG Kurdish militia. YPG attacked an Assyrian checkpoint killing one fighter of the Assyrian militia Sootoro and wounding three others. The checkpoint was set up after three Assyrian restaurants were bombed on December 20, 2016 in an attack that killed 14 Assyrian civilians. Assyrians suspected that YPG was behind these bombings in an attempt to assassinate Assyrian leaders and prevent any future claims of control over Qamishli. It would be foolish to ignore the signs that more widely spread ethnic cleansing campaigns may occur if Kurdish expansionists are supported, especially since other ethnic groups are not on board with their federalism plans. It has only been 90 years since the Assyrian genocide which was conducted by Turks and Kurds. This history should not be allowed to be repeated. Assyrians have enjoyed safety and stability in the Syrian state since this time. Forcing the Assyrians to accept federalism is not going to ensure their safety. Establishment of a Kurdish federal state in Iraq has not protected Assyrian villages from attacks by Kurdish armed groups either. The campaign of ethnic cleansing against both Assyrians and Arabs in Al Hasakah has already begun and may now only escalate. So whats the big difference between the moderate terrorists and the extremist terrorists running rampant in Syria today? At one time, we were told there were no terrorists at all. Then, we were told terrorists were indeed present but that there were also moderate, secular, democracy-loving freedom fighters in the country. Now, after the nature of the so-called rebels has been revealed ad infinitum by the alternative and independent press, it is admitted that the fighters in Syria are terrorists but, apparently, some are moderate and some are extreme. Of course, they all have the same goal of Sharia. They all hate minorities, Christians, Alawites, Shiites, etc. They all torture. They all rape. We could go on and on. In the world of the Wests rebels, there is not one shred of difference between any of the armed groups fighting against the secular Syrian government besides the names they call themselves. Still, we are told there are clear differences and that the U.S. State Department knows just what they are. Only, they arent telling the American people. Or the Russians. Or the Syrians. Or anybody. The moderate terrorists are thus a very mysterious force, a group of which we may speak but also one that never shows itself. Of course, there are groups that the United States admits are brutal killers but somehow rationalizes to the public that they are our brutal killers. The U.S. can, at times, be forced to admit that the groups it supports as freedom fighters have committed atrocities, rapes, murders, torture, and establishment of Islamic theocracy upon unwilling inhabitants. Essentially, the U.S. can admit (when pressured) that these groups have the same ideology as ISIS, although the State Department will never say these exact words. Thus, it is clear that any designation of terrorist groups as extremist or moderate is obviously based on political motivation and geopolitical designs, not the nature or action of the terrorist group in question. If that were the case, then Ahrar al-Sham, Jaish al-Islam, and other groups would easily be listed as terrorist organizations that would subsequently not be covered under the ceasefire agreement. After all, there is no distinguishing characteristic that sets these groups apart from ISIS or Nusra other than a name. But when the Russians attempted to remove these groups from the list of non-protected terrorists in Syria (terrorists protected at the insistence of the West), the United States, Britain, France, and Ukraine rushed to their rescue and blocked the Russian proposal. This is, of course, despite the fact that both of these groups, which make up around half of the Syrian opposition forces thanks to Western name changes, have repeatedly worked together with Nusra and ISIS forces. Jaish al-Islam and Ahrar al-Sham have both worked so closely with ISIS and Nusra that the groups themselves are virtually interchangeable. Nevertheless, the U.S. is only digging its own international public relations grave with its refusal to designate known and obvious terrorists as precisely that, particularly when it has launched campaigns of destruction and death across the world on the basis of allegedly fighting terror. The fact is that there never has been a difference between these organizations and this reality has been exposed time and time again in growing numbers of outlets in the alternative and independent media. As Tony Cartalucci wrote in his article, In Syria, There Are No Moderates, . . . . . there were never, nor are there any moderates operating in Syria. The West has intentionally armed and funded Al Qaeda and other sectarian extremists since as early as 2007 in preparation for an engineered sectarian bloodbath serving US-Saudi-Israeli interests. This latest bid to portray the terrorists operating along and within Syrias borders as divided along extremists/moderate lines is a ploy to justify the continued flow of Western cash and arms into Syria to perpetuate the conflict, as well as create conditions along Syrias borders with which Western partners, Israel, Jordan, and Turkey, can justify direct military intervention. Indeed, even the New York Times has been forced to admit that there are, as Cartalucci expertly argues in his article, no moderates in the ranks of the Syrian death squads. As Ben Hubbard writes, In Syrias largest city, Aleppo, rebels aligned with Al Qaeda control the power plant, run the bakeries and head a court that applies Islamic law. Elsewhere, they have seized government oil fields, put employees back to work and now profit from the crude they produce. Across Syria, rebel-held areas are dotted with Islamic courts staffed by lawyers and clerics, and by fighting brigades led by extremists. Even the Supreme Military Council, the umbrella rebel organization whose formation the West had hoped would sideline radical groups, is stocked with commanders who want to infuse Islamic law into a future Syrian government. Nowhere in rebel-controlled Syria is there a secular fighting force to speak of. [emphasis added] While some may suggest that Turkey is getting off the reservation and simply acting on its own interests (i.e. rolling back the Kurds), Erdogan has long acted as a major tool of the NATO agenda against Syria. The very fact that the United States is aiding the Turkish operation with airstrikes of its own should go some length in demonstrating that the NATO powers are in full support of the military incursion. Still, others have a different perspective. Andrew Korybko of Katehon argues that the Syrians, Iranians, and Russians are tacitly supporting the incursion because it alleviates them of the responsibility of cleansing ISIS and Kurdish battalions from northern Syria. Korybko points to increased political talks between Syria and Turkey in recent days as well as the domestic climate of Russia in terms of support for increased military operations. Korybko suggests that the United States has been duped by Turkey into falling in line with the incursion which is, in reality, an agreement on strategy and policies related to Syria by the multipolar bloc. Korybko writes, . . . . . Damascus and Ankara have been engaged in secret talks for months now in the Algerian capital of Algiers, as has been repeatedly confirmed by many multiple media sources ever since this spring. Moreover, Turkey just dispatched one of its deputy intelligence chiefs to Damascus a few days ago to meet with his high-level Syrian counterparts, so this might explain the reason why Russia and Iran arent condemning Turkeys incursion into Syria, nor why the Syrian officials arent loudly protesting against it either. More and more, the evidence is pointing to Turkeys operation being part of a larger move that was coordinated in advance with Syria, Russia, and Iran. Nevertheless, for domestic political reasons within both Syria and Turkey, neither side is expected to admit to having coordinated any of this, and its likely that bellicose rhetoric might be belched from Ankara just as much as its predictable that Damascus will rightfully speak about the protection of its sovereignty. Whats most important, though, isnt to listen so much to Turkey and Syria, but to watch and observe what Russia and Iran say and do, since these are the two countries most capable of defending Syria from any legitimate aggression against its territory and which have been firmly standing behind it for years now, albeit to differing qualitative extents though with complementary synergy (i.e. Russias anti-terrorist air operation and Irans special forces ground one). This isnt in any way to excuse, apologize for, or explain away the US opportunistic and illegal inadvertent contribution to this coordinated multipolar campaign, but to accurately document how and why it decided to involve itself in this superficially Turkish-led venture, namely because it was cleverly misled by Erdogan into thinking that this is a precondition for the normalization of relations between both sides. Russia lacks the political will to cleanse the Wahhabi terrorists and Kurdish separatists from northern Syrian itself, and for as much as one may support or condemn this, its a statement of fact that must be taken into account when analyzing and forecasting events. With this obvious constraint being a major factor influencing the state of affairs in Syria, its reasonable then that Syria, Russia, and Iran wouldnt vocally object too much to Turkey tricking the US into doing this instead out of the pursuit of its own self-interests vis--vis the attempted normalization with Ankara. The major qualifying variable that must be mentioned at this point is that serious Russian and Iranian condemnation of Turkeys ongoing operation would signal that something either went wrong with their multilaterally coordinated plan, or that Turkey was just a backstabbing pro-American Trojan Horse this entire time and the skepticism surrounding Moscow and Tehrans dedicated efforts to coax Ankara into a multipolar pivot was fully vindicated as the correct analysis all along. Still, with all that in mind, it should be remembered that Washington has essentially led Erdogan by the nose through most of the Syrian crisis. Only recently has the neo-Ottoman shown signs of moving away from U.S. influence, but even those apparent moves are being questioned by researchers and analysts. At this point, we still do not definitively know if the United States was behind the coup in Turkey or if it was an inside job/false flag staged by Erdogan and the U.S. in order to justify a clampdown on Erdogans opponents. Judging by the fact that no diplomatic staff has been recalled, Incirlik continues to be use by the United States, and now joint military operations are taking place between the United States and Turkey, it is difficult to believe that Turkey truly believes the U.S. was behind an attempted coup against Erdogan. Regardless, Turkish incursions into Syrian territory on the basis of a false flag, all the while being supported by the West, are nothing new. Remember, in 2014, Turkey was exposed for planning to use an alleged attack on the tomb of Suleiman Shah as well as a false flag attack on Turkish territory in order to justify an invasion of Syria. In its article, Turkey YouTube Ban: Full Transcript Of Leaked Syria War Conversation Between Erdogan Officials, the International Business Times released the transcript of a conversation between members of Turkish leadership planning a false flag using their terrorist proxies in order to justify an invasion: Ahmet Davutolu: Prime Minister said that in current conjuncture, this attack (on Suleiman Shah Tomb) must be seen as an opportunity for us. Hakan Fidan: Ill send 4 men from Syria, if thats what it takes. Ill make up a cause of war by ordering a missile attack on Turkey; we can also prepare an attack on Suleiman Shah Tomb if necessary. Feridun Sinirliolu: Our national security has become a common, cheap domestic policy outfit. Yaar Gler: Its a direct cause of war. I mean, whatre going to do is a direct cause of war. With this in mind, it is interesting to note that an eerily similar type of opportunity took place right before the recent invasion. As the New York Times described, A bombing on Saturday night at a Kurdish wedding in Gaziantep, a Turkish town near the Syrian border, was one of the deadliest in a string of terrorist attacks that have struck Turkey. Since June 2015, Kurdish and Islamic State militants have staged at least 15 major attacks across Turkey, killing more than 330 people. The New Atlas also sees the Turkish invasion as part of the NATO goal of destroying the secular government of Bashar al-Assad. The website writes, Thus, Turkeys government and a complicit Western media have helped place the blame equally on both the Islamic State and Kurdish militants ahead of the now ongoing cross-border operation. The above mentioned BBC article would also note: Turkey has vowed to completely cleanse IS from its border region, blaming the group for a bomb attack on a wedding that killed at least 54 people in Gaziantep on Saturday. In the aftermath of the July coup, many were hopeful Turkey would realign itself geopolitically and play a more constructive and stabilising role in the region. Instead, while citing the threat of the Islamic State and Kurdish forces along its border, a threat that its own collusion with US and Persian Gulf States since 2011 helped create, Turkey has decisively helped move forward a crucial part of US plans to dismember Syria and move its campaign of North African and Middle Eastern destabilisation onward and outward. The response by Syria and its allies in the wake of Turkeys cross-border foray has so far been muted. What, if any actions could be taken to prevent the US and its allies from achieving their plans remain to be seen. While the toppling of the government in Damascus looks unlikely at the moment, the Balkanisation of Syria was a secondary objective always only ever considered by US policymakers as a mere stop gap until eventually toppling Damascus as well. Conceding eastern and parts of northern Syria to US-led aggression will only buy time. The idea of establishing a safe zone in Syria is, of course, not a new concept. In July, 2015, the agreement being discussed would have effectively created a buffer zone that would have spanned from the Turkish border line into Syria. It would have extended from Azaz in the West to Jarablus in the East and as far south as al-Bab. The width of the zone would have been about 68 miles and would have extended around 40 miles deep into Syria, right on the doorstep of Aleppo. The zone would have much smaller than that which Turkey and the United States have called for in the years prior and wouldnt have necessarily stretched the length of the Turkey-Syria border. But it is a start. True to form, the US and Turkey attempted to obfuscate the fact that their agreement was the creation of a no-fly zone by renaming it an ISIL-free zone. This is the same tactic used when the term no-fly zone and buffer zone began to draw too much ire from observers only a year ago. Then, the term became safe zone. Semantics have served NATO and the United States well over the years. After all, a simple name change of terrorist organizations has made the Anglo-American powers able to produce moderate rebels and the most frightening terrorist organization the world has ever seen while using the same group of terrorists. The description of the ISIL-free zone of 2015 was that it would be a distinguished area in which the Turkish and U.S. military would engage in aggressive operations against ISIS. It was floated that this area would have also functioned as a place where civilians displaced by the Syrian crisis may run to for safe haven and where moderate rebel forces can maintain a higher presence free from the battles with ISIS. Once the area is cleared, the plan is to give control to as-yet-unidentified moderate Syrian rebel groups. The United States and Turkey have differing interpretations as to which groups can be defined as moderate, the Washington Post reported. The reality, however, is that the ISIL-free zone would have been nothing more than a Forward Operating Base deeper into Syrian territory, working under the direct protection of the U.S. military and Turkish air force. That is exactly what the British and the U.S. are arguing for today. Going further back, public discussion of the implementation of a buffer zone began as far back as 2012 when the Brookings Institution, in their memo Assessing Options For Regime Change stated An alternative is for diplomatic efforts to focus first on how to end the violence and how to gain humanitarian access, as is being done under Annans leadership. This may lead to the creation of safe-havens and humanitarian corridors, which would have to be backed by limited military power. This would, of course, fall short of U.S. goals for Syria and could preserve Asad in power. From that starting point, however, it is possible that a broad coalition with the appropriate international mandate could add further coercive action to its efforts. The Brookings Institution went further, however, describing a possible scenario that mirrors the one currently unfolding in Syria where Turkey, in coordination with Israel, could help overthrow Assad by establishing a multi-front war on Syrias borders. Brookings writes, In addition, Israels intelligence services have a strong knowledge of Syria, as well as assets within the Syrian regime that could be used to subvert the regimes power base and press for Asads removal. Israel could posture forces on or near the Golan Heights and, in so doing, might divert regime forces from suppressing the opposition. This posture may conjure fears in the Asad regime of a multi-front war, particularly if Turkey is willing to do the same on its border and if the Syrian opposition is being fed a steady diet of arms and training. Such a mobilization could perhaps persuade Syrias military leadership to oust Asad in order to preserve itself. Advocates argue this additional pressure could tip the balance against Asad inside Syria, if other forces were aligned properly. Of course, the establishment of a No-Fly Zone is tantamount to a declaration of war. Such has even been admitted by top U.S. Generals when explaining exactly what a No Fly Zone would entail. As General Carter Ham stated, We should make no bones about it. It first entails killing a lot of people and destroying the Syrian air defenses and those people who are manning those systems. And then it entails destroying the Syrian air force, preferably on the ground, in the air if necessary. This is a violent combat action that results in lots of casualties and increased risk to our own personnel. General Philip Breedlove also echoed this description when he said, I know it sounds stark, but what I always tell people when they talk to me about a no-fly zone is . . . its basically to start a war with that country because you are going to have to go in and kinetically take out their air defense capability Regardless of the fact that the Anglo-American empire may very well be risking a direct military confrontation with another nuclear power, the NATO forces are intent on moving forward in their attempt to destroy Syria and its government. The major victories by the Syrian military that have taken place in recent weeks as well as the inability of the Wests terrorists to roll back SAA gains have obviously convinced NATO that more drastic measures are needed and that proxies are simply not enough to defeat a committed military supported by its people. Thus, we now see the plan so heavily promoted by Western think tanks and military industrial complex firms being implemented. Clearly, the Turkish agenda is not focused on combating ISIS. If it was, the Turks would have long ago sealed their borders with Syria as well as ceased their training and facilitation of terrorist groups flowing into Syria from Turkish territory. The Turks do not need NATO Buffer Zones to end terrorism within their own country. They need to seal the borders with Syria, immediately cease funding, training, and facilitation of terrorists operating inside Turkish borders alongside a massive sting operation netting and eliminating these organizations. Turkey would also greatly benefit by backing away from Erdogan, his idiotic policies, and his equally idiotic Islamist government. Turkey must put aside political Islam and return to a culture of secular governance. Lastly, Turkey must pursue a reasonable and fair policy toward the Kurds in its Southeast. Of course, Turkey has sent every signal possible to announce that they intend to stick with the NATO line of destroying the secular government of Bashar al-Assad and replacing it with a government or governments beholden and favorable to Washington and the Anglo-American oligarchy. Obviously, a buffer zone and/or a no-fly zone, of course, is tantamount to war and an open military assault against the sovereign secular government of Syria because the implementation of such a zone would require airstrikes against Assads air defense systems. With the establishment of this buffer zone, a new staging ground will be opened that allows terrorists such as ISIS and others the ability to conduct attacks even deeper inside Syria. While one wishes for the best of all possible worlds the roll back of Western-backed terrorists and Kurdish fanaticism while, at the same time, seeing the Syrian government regain control over all of its territory we cannot wish away the facts. Amidst the tangled web of political and geopolitical interests at play in regards to this invasion, the fact is that neither the United States, the Kurdish militias, or the Turks have the best interest of Syria or the Syrian people at heart.

Syria is a big, fat mess Hehe So, two things, the Kurdish issue is 100% fake, this I knew beforehand, and the article shows that to, and I dont think Turks would benefit from standing inside Syria for a longer time, aka ocupy. Its the war in Aleppo that matters, and hopefully this engagement will dispers the enemy and thin out their lines when engagements is spread out in an wider theater. And I hope the Kurd dont fall into the trap of going along with the imperial banana republic UssA, and this time we all may have an far better future since the scums is wiped out, clean the house and never again let it be divided. This time You have an alternative, peace Kurds, peace. peace Nabors. JIM Nabors? FBI whistle blower Sibel Edmonds, raised in Turkey, explained the Kurds have long been marginalized, used, and abused by not only the Turkish govt, also other nations surrounding their large central territory, globalist pawns. As the lowest tier of a caste sytem, the Kurds have been told if they fight ISIS they can earn their freedom. The globalists love this kind of divide and conquer, fog of war chaos The entire regional conflict is now being increasingly brokered behind the scenes by the UN, centered on Russia, Turkey, US, Syria 
2	Liberals Are Attacking TEXAS BBQ, Heres The Unbelievable Reason Why You might want to put your BBQs on hold. According to recent reports from NBC News, processed meat, such as bacon or hot dogs, may cause cancer. The World Health Organization claims that new studies reveal that eating these foods are linked to cancer. The conclusion was also backed by the International Agency for Research on cancer (IARC). These finds further support current public health recommendations to limit intake of meat, Dr. Christopher Wild, Director of IARC, claimed. While the report does not directly claim that processed meats cause cancer, they do imply as much. A positive association with the consumption of processed meat was found for stomach cancer, the report reads. The Working Group classified consumption of red meat as probably carcinogenic to humans. Consumption of red meat was also positively associated with pancreatic and with prostate cancer. What do you think? Are these reports accurate or are they a reflection of a political agenda? 
2	Did You See What Obama Did Immediately After His Farewell Address... Watch Closely On Tuesday night, Barack Obama gave his farewell address in his hometown of Chicagohis last public speech before turning the presidency over to Donald Trump. Immediately afterward, he boarded Air Force One, in what is likely his final trip aboard the private plane. During his two terms as president, Obama reportedly took 445 flights. Yesterday, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest claimed that Air Force One has flown 2,799 hours and six minutes with Obama as a passengerfor a total of 116 days. His trips have included 56 countries and 49 stateswith Maryland as the only exception. Of all the privileges of this office, and there are many, I will miss Air Force One, Obama said last week at an Armed Forces farewell ceremony. Its possible Obama will take one more flight aboard the government jet after Trump is inaugurated, but the aircraft wont be called Air Force One. The trip would be entirely unnecessary, of course, given that Obama has decided to reside just two miles from the White House. But sources say he is planning to jet off on another vacation right after the ceremony. He recently told Oprah he plans on going someplace warm.

1	Area resident Teresa Grant was plagued by feelings of guilt Monday after buying a box of Snuggle fabric softener, ending years of unswerving brand loyalty to Downy. 'I remember my mother using Downy when I was a toddler,' a distraught Grant said. 'It's just that I got a trial size of Snuggle in the mail and, well, I kind of preferred the smell.' Grant added that, while taking the Snuggle box from the supermarket shelf, she strove not to make eye contact with the baby on the Downy bottle. 
1	In an effort to connect with younger voters and tap into the immense popularity of the video-sharing website, Democrat and Republican candidates participated in the first-ever presidential debates shown on YouTube to at least 11 viewers. An estimated 50 percent of the video's viewers clicked on the link by accident. The video debateswhich received one comment, two stars, and was favorited by no onefeatured candidates answering a variety of viewer-generated questions ranging from health care to the Iraq war, and racked up 4,881,990 fewer views than a 56-second video of a sleepy cat posted the same day. 'Don't tase me, bro!' an unnamed University of Florida student said in a video that captured the attention of college-age men and women across the country. 'Oww! Oww! Oww!' Despite being highlighted on YouTube's main page for the three weeks preceding and following each debate, the two videos remain among the site's least watched, receiving five fewer views than an identical debate video that was sped up and set to the popular novelty song 'Yakety Sax.' Nevertheless, 2008 Democratic candidate John Edwards reportedly called the debates a 'success for modern elections' in an e-mail to CollegeHumor.com, urging the popular comedy outlet to please post the video somewhere, anywhere on its website. Although Republican frontrunner Rudolph Giuliani touted his ability to bring in literally hundreds of new viewers to November's GOP debate, the Federal Election Commission ruled that his campaign misled voters and broke federal law when it tagged the video as 'Lindsay Lohan Britney Spears VMAs Boobs The Notebook Kiss Scene Juggling Letterman Spiderman.' The FEC also discounted several accidental views resulting from searches for 'Hilary Duff,' 'Dennis the Menace,' and 'Daily Show Republican Debate.' While official YouTube estimates put the debates' total number of hits at just under a dozen, some candidates claimed the statistics had been miscalculated and should be rounded up to 13 to include the time Democratic candidate Joe Biden was unable to view the video because his dial-up Internet connection was too slow. Leaders from both parties said they were already looking forward to holding similar debates in 2008, and that the next round will feature expanded interactive features for YouTube members, more candid discussions between candidates, and a surprise ending involving Mentos and Diet Coke. 
2	Obama Caters To Muslim Group In The U.S. After They Make THIS Outrageous Demand A group of Muslim clerics lead by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is now demanding that Obama exempt them from liability for prosecution under anti-jihad laws. The laws are constructed to prevent US citizens from aiding and abetting terrorism. The claim came just three days before White House meetings kicked off on federal efforts to mitigate growing jihadist violence. CAIR claims that Muslims in the United States should be relieved of any suspicion or prosecution being associated with a potential violent extremist. Justice Department policies should make clear that those who interview to [stop attacks] should not suffer for it by being subjected to prosecution, watch-listing, or surveillance because of their association with a potential violent extremist, CAIR claimed in a statement. The Department of Justice should issue guidelinesto protect those who act in good faith to prevent violent extremism by engaging with [Muslims] considering it in order to dissuade them. The request raises many questions and red flags. What do you think of CAIRs demands? 
1	According to a study released this week by Brown University's Department of Modern Culture and Media, it now takes only four minutes for a new cultural touchstone to transform from an amusing novelty into an intensely annoying thing people never want to see or hear again. 'The American populace experienced a genuine sense of enjoyment when initially exposed to phenomena as diverse as the Double Rainbow video, the actor Jon Heder, and the phrase 'Stay thirsty, my friends,'' lead researcher Irene Levinson said. 'But what's remarkable is that these exact same things were rejected with an almost violent revulsion less than 240 seconds later.' 'The results are the same for everything from TV news bloopers to professional ad campaigns, with only a handful of exceptions,' Levinson added. 'For example, it takes, on average, less than 90 seconds to go from feeling delight to active enmity for anything that involves talking infants.' According to researchers, the unprecedented exposure afforded by the Internet is responsible for the speed with which such phenomena shift from eliciting joyous chuckles to provoking blind, undiluted rage. 'The average web user receives a dozen links and reads 60 mentions of a new meme or sensation within the first 45 seconds of being online,' said Salvador Calder, a media studies professor. 'During this period of peak popularity, individuals seem to derive a great level of satisfaction from endlessly repeating an entity's signature component, be it a contrived Kazakh accent or the words 'epic fail.'' 'However,' Calder continued, 'at roughly the 91-second mark, when the phenomenon has been remixed, set to a dance beat, and Auto-Tuned, that original sense of pleasure begins its inevitable, precipitous decline.' Calder's data indicate that between the second and third minute, the phenomenon is typically signed to a movie, book, or record deal, the news of which tends to trigger a 'harsh and immediate reassessment' among most individuals as to whether the thing was ever legitimately amusing in the first place. 'A wide-scale backlash is initiated shortly after four minutes,' Calder said. 'This is usually the point when one is no longer able to turn on a TV or engage in a normal conversation without hearing someone make a clumsy reference to the now painfully stale entity.' 'It's precisely at this moment when the subject starts to experience an unshakable and overwhelming desire to punch anyone making further allusion to the phenomenon right in the face,' Calder added. The study confirmed that 98.7 percent of attempts to capitalize on the public's annoyance with the phenomenon through mockery and spoofs also backfired, serving only to compound and intensify people's fury instead. Using data collected over the past four decades, the research team determined that it used to take considerably longer for a cultural phenomenon to evolve from an entertaining diversion into the most reviled thing on the planet. In a particularly telling example, the study showed how the phrase 'Yo quiero Taco Bell' sustained itself as an acceptable interjection for four years during the pre-broadband era. They then compared this to a modern-day equivalent, 'Release the Kraken,' which last year was angrily snuffed after only two days due to the 'excruciating levels of irritation' that it inflicted on the population. Researchers predict the time lag between novelty and utter hatred is likely to narrow further as technological advancements continue to increase and expand social connectedness online. 'We project that by 2018, the gap between liking something new and wishing yourself dead rather than hearing it again will be down to 60 seconds,' Levinson said. 'And by 2023, enjoyment and abhorrence will occur simultaneously, the two emotions effectively canceling each other out and leaving one feeling nothing whatsoever.' 'I can't fucking wait,' he added. 
2	BREAKING: Texas Passes Law, Permanently Banning Sharia Law Texas is once again setting the standard for the way this nation light to be behaving. According to reports, the Texas Legislature has passed a law banning Muslims from attempting to institute their own sharia-based law in their communities. 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 commented. Muslims groups have already attempted to block the measure, claiming that is an anti-Muslim solution looking for a problem. What do you think? Do you support Texas taking preemptive action?

2	BREAKING: Obama Makes Sickening Move To Undermine Trumps Presidency Millions of Americans are counting down the days until President Barack Obama is out of office. Now, Washington insiders are revealing Obama will not be letting go of his power so easily. Though he claims he is staying in Washington only so his daughter Sasha can finish high school, conservative author Ed Klein thinks there is more to the story. For the past 100 years every president who is outgoing has packed up his stuff, gone home and not criticized his successor, Klein wrote. This is not what the Obamas are planning to do. They rented an eight-bedroom mansion in the Kalorama section of Washington from Joe Lockhart, who was Bill Clintons last press secretary. In that house, theres enough room for Valerie Jarrett as well as Michelle and the kids. A place for ten cars to park. They are setting up what they are calling a shadow government. Klein went on to describe Obamas shadow government as more of an insurgency operation. They are staying there because despite what the president said in his press conference, hes in a sense of outrage over this incoming Trump Administration, which he thinks is going to wipe out his legacy, he wrote. So hes setting up this kind of almost insurgency; hes picking people in foreign affairs, labor, abortion, union matters. Hes setting them up to start appearing on television, making speeches and doing op-ed pieces. For the next four years, youre going to see not only a Trump Administration, but youre going to see a shadow government opposing the Trump administration Klein then predicted that Obama will do everything in their power to disrupt Trumps inauguration. 
2	Tiffany Trump Puts Malia Obama To Shame In Comparison There have been many comparisons drawn between what life would look like with the Trumps in the White House versus where America stands now with the Obama family. While many comparisons have been made between the two first ladies, a newer comparison is between Malia Obama and Tiffany Trump. It is become more and more of a possibility that we will see the Trumps in the White House. For Trumps children, this means that many of them are going to be in spotlight for the first time. 21-year-old Tiffany Trump has been hidden from the public for a large portion of her life, but now that she is a potential first daughter, she is quickly gaining popularity. Its hard not to compare Malia Obama to Tiffany when she was 17 years old. While Malia is busy partying at music festivals and college tours, its clear that Tiffany was able to stay focused on her studies. Clearly, that paid off for Tiffany, because she was later accepted to the Ivy League University of Pennsylvania. She is now a senior, and regularly posts pictures of herself studying on social media. What do you think? Are the Trumps better role models than the Obamas could ever even hope to be?

3	Susan Rice for National Security AdvisorStephen Lendman South African journalist Getahune Bekele said shes a consummate ally of grubby despots. Ray McGovern says she believes hawkishness is safer for career advancement than thoughtful diplomacy. Reuters called her sharp-tongued. Others condemn her bloody hands. Banality of evil describes her. Death and destruction dont bother her. She was quoted once saying, The only thing we have to do is look the other way. More on Rice below. Reports suggest humanitarian warmonger Samantha Power will replace her as UN ambassador. Senate confirmation is needed. She and Rice played leading roles in urging humanitarian war on Libya. Genocidal slaughter followed. Africas most developed nation was ravaged. So-called responsibility to protect is code language for show no mercy. When America intervenes, with or without NATO partners, death, destruction, resource theft, exploitation and human misery follow. Current National Security Advisor Tom Donilon announced hes stepping down. He has his own cross to bear. In May,Foreign Policy contributor James Mann called him Obamas gray man. His vast influence on foreign policy stokes controversy. One unnamed source called the National Security staff under his stewardship a snake pit. Donilon was Deputy National Security Advisor under General James Jones. He called him a backroom technocrat. Donilon came along as his chief of staff. He also served as Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs. From 1999 2005, he held senior executive Fannie Mae positions. He also served as chief lobbyist. He earned millions of dollars doing so. He pressured Congress for deregulatory-freedom. Bush administration officials willingly complied. He was involved during housing bubble inflating years. He shares responsibility with others for what happened. From 1986 1993 and from 2003 2005, he was an OMelveny Myers law firm partner. In 1988, he was CBS Evening News chief political analyst. Before entering Obamas presidential campaign, he was a Goldman Sachs and Citigroup legal advisor. Hes been a hustler/con artist/bully throughout his political and private careers. Hes part of a Washington/Wall Street bipartisan cesspool of corruption and imperial lawlessness. As National Security Advisor, it includes geopolitical priorities. He once said Obamas not a president whos at all shy about the use of force. Obamas record, of course, speaks for itself. Donilons other affiliations include the Council on Foreign Relations, Aspen Institute, US Chamber of Commerce, Brookings Institution, and Bilderberg Group. Since 1999, hes been a registered lobbyist. Donilon urged Rices appointment as World Bank president. She wanted upgrading to Secretary of State. John Kerry was chosen. Rice stayed on as UN ambassador. As National Security Advisor, shell be chief presidential aide on national security issues. Unlike other presidential appointments, Senate confirmation isnt needed. Obama calls her extraordinary. Her style matches Hillary Clinton. She deplores peace, nonviolence, diplomacy and social justice. Her outbursts reflect bullying, bluster and arrogance. Her support for US lawlessness makes her complicit. She relishes imperial spoils. Shes indifferent to human suffering. Shes a monument to wrong over right. Shes a disgrace and embarrassment to her country, position and humanity. Her abrasive style makes more enemies than friends. Shes one of Americas worst ever envoys. A previous article said said she has major unexplainedconflicts of interest. She and her husband own at least $1.25 million worth of stock in four of Canadas eight leading oil producers. She has up to $600,000 equity in TransCanada Corp. Its building the environmentally destructive Keystone XL pipeline. Her holdings also include $11 million of more in Royal Bank of Canada, as well as lesser equity in other Canadian financial institutions funding XL. She and her husband have a net worth estimated at between $23.5 and $43.5 million. Theyll have to explain how they accumulated it. Perhaps it was the old-fashioned way. From October 1997 to January 2001, she was Bill Clintons Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs. She supported Washingtons imperial Afghan and Iraq wars. She urged long-term occupation. She endorsed imperial war on Libya. She falsified claims about Gaddafi forces committing mass rapes. She ignored Western-enlisted death squad atrocities. Shes been silent about them throughout Obamas war on Syria. She blames Assad for Western imperial crimes. She asked for UN authorization to wage war. She favors partnering with Israel against Iran. She wants one regional country after another ravaged and destroyed. She wants no daylight between US and Israeli policy. She endorses permanent imperial direct and proxy wars. She has longstanding blood on her hands. As UN envoy, she supports Washingtons war on humanity. As National Security Advisor shell have Obamas ear to escalate it. She represents everything people of conscience condemn. Shes criminally unqualified for any public or private position. She called Russian and Chinese Security Council resolution vetoes disgusting and shameful. Both countries oppose war. Theyve blocked it full-scale so far. How much longer remains to be seen. Expect Rice to push hard for direct intervention. Shes done it already. She did so against Libya. She urges regime change. She favors doing so belligerently. She proliferates lies for support. The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity said she belongs in the big house, not in the White House. Her rap sheet includes complicity in major crimes. In 1993, she served on Clintons National Security Council. From 1997 January 2001, she was Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs. She was involved in proxy genocidal wars on Congo. Washington unleashed Ugandan and Rwandan forces. Eastern Congo was ravaged. Its happening again. At stake are vast mineral resources. Theyre largely untapped. They include oil, gold, diamonds, copper, uranium, cobalt, and tantalum. Its a rare earth essential for manufacturing high-tech electronics. Nuclear power producers need it. Rice has close ties to Rwandas Paul Kagame. Hes a US stooge. Washington trained him at Fort Leavenworth, KS. Shes connected to Ugandas Yoweri Museveni. He and Kagame are two of many African grubby despot US allies. They serve at the behest of Washington. They stay in power as long as they remember whos boss. They serve American interests. They exploit their own people in the process. Countries like Congo, Somalia, Rwanda, Uganda, Ethiopia, Nigeria and others have been plundered for decades. Millions have died. Poverty, unemployment, disease, death, deprivation, and human suffering define large parts of the continent. Exploiting its resources matter most. Africas the worlds most impoverished, long-suffering, war-ravaged continent. Western imperialism bears most responsibility. Post-WW II, Americas been the lead belligerent. Its the only region where US military and civilian diplomatic functions are combined. AFRICOM runs things. As Obamas envoy, Rice plays a leading role. She did earlier under Clinton. As National Security Advisor, shell add to her rap sheet. Its already bloodstained. Shes morally unqualified for any public or private office. The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity is right saying she belongs in the big house, not in the White House. Many other imperial co-conspirators belong there with her. Perhaps its the only way to end Washingtons war on humanity. Its more than ever threatened under Obama. With Rice as new National Security Advisor, it may not survive on their watch.

2	The Reason Cracker Barrel Fired A 73 Year Old Vet Has Many Outraged According to recent reports, Joe Koblenzer, a 73-year-old Vietnam veteran was recently terminated from his job at a Florida Cracker Barrel, after he offered a corn muffin to man who appeared to be homeless. According to Koblenzer, the man entered the restaurant on one of his shifts and asked for mayonnaise and tartar sauce. He gave the man the condiments, and also offered him a corn muffin. He looked a little needy, Koblenzer told reporters, He said he was going to cook a fish. I got it for him. As I walked out I put a corn muffin in. Just a short while later, Koblenzer lost his job, and Cracker Barrel issued a statement about the incident. The company claims that Koblenzer was known for giving away free food. The statement reads: Mr. Koblenzer has worked as a host at Cracker Barrels Sarasota store since April 2011. During the time he was employed, he violated the Companys policies regarding consuming food without paying or giving away free food, on five separate occasions. Mr. Koblenzer received multiple counselings and written warnings reminding him about the companys policies and the consequences associated with violating them. On the fifth occasion, again per Company policy, Mr. Koblenzer was terminated. Still, the company is receiving backlash from the public, which can be viewed on their social media site. Some have even vowed to stop eating at the restaurant, claiming that it does not align with their values. Some are more neutral, claiming that they see both sides of the situation. What do you think of the situation?

3	Silenced: Three Whistleblowers TalkThomas DrakeJohn KiriakouJesselyn Radack Before I tell you about the new movie highlighting three famous U.S. whistleblowers that opened in April 2014 at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City, please know that one of its main characters, CIA-torture-whistleblower John Kiriakou, now in prison, has experienced more harassment at the hands of those in charge at the federal prison in Loretto, Pennsylvania, and a concerted effort is being launched now to spare John Kiriakou any more such treatment. Heres the deal! Friday, May 9th, 2014, is designated as the day of action for John Kiriakou. Instead of my rewriting the story, Id like to cut and paste what I received from Brian Sonenstein at FireDogLake.com regarding what happened to prompt an organized grand-scale, citizen action to get John relief from prison officials harassment: John Kiriakous wife and 3 youngest children left at 5:00 in the morning to drive 210 miles to see him. When they arrived, prison officials told them to leave because the visitation room was too crowded. Johns family only gets to visit once a month, and he writes that, My 7- year-old daughter and 2-year-old son cried all the way out the door. Of course, the room wasnt actually crowded; aside from the fact that his family was among those who had travelled the furthest [sic] to see him, there were plenty of empty seats around the room. But then again, this isnt about, as John writes, the petty daily inconveniences that are a normal part of life here. This is about a conscious effort to punish John Kiriakou for exercising his first amendment rights. On Friday, May 9th, Firedoglake is organizing a Day of Action for John Kiriakou. Were asking supporters to take a moment to drop by the local offices of their elected representatives and ask that they contact the Bureau of Prisons on Johns behalf. Can you pledge to take a moment on May 9th to stop by your representatives local offices? YES, Ill visit my representatives offices in support of John Kiriakou. I cant make it, but I still want to help. The Bureau of Prisons extralegal campaign to punish John Kiriakou for his free speech has gone on for far too long already. Its time to get the BOPs overseers in Congress involved in the fight for Johns fair treatment. Weve come up with a list of members of the House and Senate who we think might be willing to speak to the BOP on Johns behalf. They include members of the Judiciary and Appropriations committees that oversee the BOP; members of the influential Intelligence committees who have recently spoken out in support of whistleblowers and against the torture program John helped expose, and others. A few politicians like Ralph Nader, Rep. Jim Moran and Rep. Lloyd Doggett have already spoken out on Johns behalf, but we need many more to do the same. The Bureau of Prisons could have honored their agreement to move him to a halfway house closer to home for the final 9 months of his sentence. Instead, it has opted to essentially and repeatedly spit in his face, offering him a mere 86 days alongside surprise cell searches, threats of diesel therapy and fruitless attempts to turn fellow prisoners against him. When John began speaking out about the Bureaus shameless dishonesty, prison officials began a campaign of retaliation that has not let up despite direct appeals made by thousands of his supporters. If the Bureau of Prisons wont listen to us, well work to make sure they hear from their overseers in the federal government. From the baseless use of the Espionage act to force him to enter a plea agreement, to the systematic destruction of his life to the unjust abuse he now faces regularly in prison, its no wonder why whistleblowers like Edward Snowden have opted to flee the country. This is what happens when whistleblowers face the music in America. We only have a few weeks left to convince the Bureau of Prisons to grant John Kiriakou his full 9 months in the halfway house. After that, every day he spends in prison is a day he could have been closer to his family had the BOP kept up their end of the deal. Can you pledge to take a moment on May 9th to stop by your representatives local offices? YES, Ill visit my representatives offices in support of John Kiriakou. Please read Johns Letter from Loretto, Bureau of Prisons Throws CIA Torture Whistleblower John Kiriakous Children Out of Visitors Room documenting how his family was treated. The Movie Now to the movie Silencedthat opened to rave reviews. Coincidentally, the day that Im writing this blog, I received a letter from John telling me Tonight [4-20-14] is the premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival of the documentary Silenced, which is about Tom Drake, Jesselyn Radack, and me. I cant wait to read the reviews, and my wife said the early press on the film includes Oscar buzz. In his letter to me, John mentioned that CodePink also have been working on Johns behalf. I signed the petitionCodePink emailed to me. Free Speech Zone with Alyona Mink interviewed the director of Silenced, James Spione and two of the main characters: Thomas Drake and Jesselyn Radack. Of course, John could not be on the interview set although he is spotlighted in Silenced. Johns story is the heart of the film, as hes the one serving time in the federal pen at Loretto, Pennsylvania. The movie tells interesting human stories about the three and what makes them tick. They are intimate stories about what they suffered at the hands of the U.S. government. Whistleblowers must become extinct, according to the federal government! Accordingly, and to make impressionable examples of how whistleblowers are treated, enemies of the state are charged with the Espionage Act that is used as a lever, as in Johns case and it works!

2	Obama Utters One Sentence That Has All Of America Convinced That He Is A Muslim Following the attacks in Paris, President Obama has made some very controversial decisions and statements. And he appears to be confirming the popular belief that he is a Muslim. I think on one hand non-Muslims cannot stereotype, Obama claimed at the G-20 summit in Turkey. But I also think the Muslim community has to think about how we make sure that children are not being affected with this twisted notion that somehow they can kill innocent people. This is not a standalone comment for Obama, who seems to always align with Muslims when it comes to major issues. Islam has always been part of America, Obama once said. He has also claimed that civilization has a debt to Islam. What do you think? Does Obama need to come clean about where his loyalties lie? 
2	Texas Defies Obama, And Threatens Him With THIS According to recent reports, Tanya Robertson, an executive committee member for the Republican Party of Texas, is planning to introduce a resolution that will allow the states primary voters to determine whether Texas should secede from the United States. Economists have long suspected that secession could be on the table for the Lone Star State. Theres been a big groundswell of Texans that are getting into the Texas independence issue, Robertson told the Houston Chronicle. I believe conservatives in Texas should have a choice to voice their opinion. The measurement does not come without challenges, however. Robertson must convince a 12-member resolutions committee to bring it up to the full 60-member assembly. The chances that the bill will pass are slim, with only 18 percent of the states residents voting in favor of secession according to a poll conducted 6 years ago. What do you think? Could Texas secede from the United States? 
3	Spring Break in a Police State Cop Drones Spy on Partying Kids to Bust them for Victimless CrimeBy John Vibes Police encounters are the greatest danger that spring breakers face while they are on vacation, and it has become even worse in the modern police state. As 25,000 college students expect to attend the spring break festivities, the South Padre Island Police Department recently announced that they will be using drones to monitor partiers during spring break this year. Its going to give us a birds eye view when we need it, city spokesperson Gary Ainsworth told the Valley Morning Star. Its a 4K camera, so its crystal clear, he added. Police Chief Randy Smith insisted that the drones will be used for mostly rescue missions. We can use it for beach patrol. Were looking at deploying some that have a safety feature that releases a life jacket over a subject that is in distress, Smith said. However, it is obvious that the police will be more interested in scanning the crowd for drug users, underage drinkers, and nonviolent people who are just trying to have a good time. On the ground, the events will be patrolled by city police, state troopers, officials from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission and Texas Parks and Wildlife game wardens, all of whom will likely be more interested in writing tickets than they are with helping people. It was reported by the Chron that the city is planning on keeping these drones and using them in the future. Police drones are becoming more commonplace as the technology becomes available to departments across the country, making it possible for officers to have their eyes on everyone at all times. Orwells 1984 is quickly becoming a reality. John Vibes is an author and researcher who organizes a number of large events including the Free Your Mind Conference. He also has a publishing company where he offers a censorship free platform for both fiction and non-fiction writers. You can contact him and stay connected to his work at his Facebook page. You can purchase his books, or get your own book published at his website www.JohnVibes.com. Cops and military gear is akin to a spark near gasoline! I think maybe drones should be encouraged to fall from the sky! Back to calling them PIGS again! Lol, that word vanished for some didnt it? The cops will have a blast with that. Will be like video games for them busting kids with weed and taking photos of everyone for Baphomets pre-crime archive. Wake up college kids and hit them where it counts, in the pocket book. Tell the SOBs that youll take the party to another town if they dont knock of the revenue generating crapola. voyeuristic pervs. 
2	Liberals ATTACK Stacey Dash After She Take THIS Massive Stand Against Transgender Agenda Fox News Stacey Dash is particularly unpopular with liberals, primarily because she speaks her mind without fear of being politically correct. In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight Dash criticized Lady Gaga and Caitlyn gender for their support of new transgender bathroom policies. Hollywood pushes a liberal agenda to the rest of the country, Dash said, mentioning Lady Gaga in particular. Whether we like it or not, Hollywood dictates the culture of the country. Dash also spoke out against Caitlyn Jenner. Its tyranny by the minority, Dash commented. Why do I have to suffer because you cant decide what you wanna be that day? But its a decision? the reporter grilled. I would think so, Dash replied. Its your body, so its your decision, right? We all make choices. The reporter pushed back once more, arguing that many transgender people claim that it is who they are, not who they choose to be. Okay, then go to the bushes, Dash said, not backing down. I dont know what to tell you, but Im not going to put my childs life at risk because you want to change a law so that you can be comfortable with your beliefswhich means I have to change my beliefs and my rights. No. 
1	According to statements made Monday by local resident David Kearney, a 36-year-old delivery driver who will die in a fireworks mishap months before the general election, he is a Trump man all the way. I like what Trump has to sayhe isnt afraid to take on anyone, said the man who, long before November, will be pronounced dead on arrival at a nearby hospital after duct-taping several M-80s together in his backyard, lighting the self-rigged explosive device, and then, after accidentally knocking the mortar tube on its side while attempting to run away from the blast, will suffer severe trauma as his Stone Cold Steve Austin shirt and cargo shorts are set ablaze while his horrified family looks on. The politicians in Washington lie to our faces. Trumps the only one who tells the truth. Hell turn the country around. Kearney said he was convinced to vote for Trump by the candidates debate performances, events he was narrowly able to witness following a close call last summer when his ATV overturned at high speed after he lost control of the vehicle while firing a handgun at a stop sign.

Make no mistake, we may have passed on Johnny in the draft, but Im still leaving the door open to impulsively trade away our future first- and second-round picks for him if we dont make the playoffs next season, said Jones, adding that firing head coach Jason Garrett in a moment of pure panic before buying out the remainder of Tony Romos recent $108 million contract extension is not entirely off the table either. Even tossing in a linchpin veteran player to sweeten the deal while bringing on a brand-new coach who will be permanently attached at the hip to Manziel is well within the realm of possibility for us. Johnny could very well be the starting quarterback of a completely gutted Dallas Cowboys team in the future. Jones also confirmed that he would be equally open to someday cutting Manziel after poor showings in his first four games as a Cowboy. 
1	The Negro Leagues Hall Of Fame announced Monday that Ty Cobb, who led all white baseball players with 27 lynchings in 1907, would lead its inaugural class of indictees. 'Even though many of the members on our committee weren't around to have their lives affected by Mr. Cobb, the mere stories of his performance on the baseball fieldlike when he choked the wife of a black groundskeeper during an argument at Warren Parkare enough to convince us that he deserves this recognition, and potentially an even deeper investigation into his accomplishments in this area,' said Buck O'Neil, who presented Cobb's granddaughter and the Royston, GA district attorney with a plaque detailing the numerous race-motivated offenses Cobb had been accused of, from the 1909 knifing of a black night watchman to a 1919 incident in which he called a chambermaid a 'nigger' before knocking her down, kicking her in the stomach, and throwing her down the stairs of the Hotel Pontchartrain. 'This is long overdue.' Cobb joins Jake Powell, Cap Anson, Barry Bonds, John Rocker, and 3,185 others who will be indicted in an NLHF ceremony August 3. 
1	The 2002 hurricane season will be packed with 'big surprises, big windspeeds, and a big, big finish,' God announced Monday at a press conference touting His fall schedule. The aftermath of a September 2000 flood in North Carolina. Inset: God. 'Get ready for the biggest, wildest, most exciting hurricane season yet,' God said. 'You'll see all the 200 mph winds, all the flooding, all the overturned cars. As for what else you'll seewell, you'll just have to wait and see.' Though hurricane season officially began in June, God has not yet released any major storms in the Pacific or Atlantic theaters. A press release sent to the media by Benediction/Holmes-Morgan, the Lord's public-relations agency, did drop a few tidbits on what to expect in the coming months. 'As God enters His landmark 23,450,750th hurricane season, He finds Himself dealing with a larger and more diversified audience,' the statement read in part. 'With that in mind, He's promised that something new is 'in the wind' this year. Expect God to take the hurricane to places it's never been, bringing it to whole new audiences, making inroads further into the tornado-minded Gulf Coast states, and still delivering the goods to the hip, urban, coastal crowd that's traditionally so crazy about them.' Hurricanes form when God maketh ocean water in equatorial regions warmer than average, causing warm air to rise and spiral inward and upward in a counter-clockwise direction, an effect amplified by the Earth's Coriolis forces. God promised not to forget longtime fans, noting that the Southeast would be the location of some of the season's biggest hits. 'I'm not naming names,' said the Archangel Ioniel, Guide of the Change and co-producer of 1992's Hurricane Andrew, which did more than $20 billion in damage to South Florida. 'It'd be a shame to ruin the Big Guy's party. But let's just say Florida is still number one, and the residents of a certain sleepy Georgia coastal town are in for the meteorological sequel of the summer.' God's announcement sparked strong buzz among meteorologists and other weather watchers. 'We're already lining up for this next one,' said Col. Jeff Esser, commander of the 105th Battalion of the North Carolina National Guard. 'We figure response will need to be huge, and we're traditionally the first in the Atlantic theater of operations. I have a feeling we're each going to be seeing this one a few times.' 'Two thumbs up! I loved it!' said a soaking-wet Al Roker after God treated him to a special preview of the 2002 season. 'Batten down the hatches, America. This one's gonna blow your whole family away!' Roker was then rushed to a Miami hospital, where he was treated for hypothermia and water inhalation. In addition to putting up significant domestic numbers, the hurricane season is expected to make a major impact in foreign markets. 'Japan is always big for us,' Ioniel said. 'Brazil, too. We even have a following in Canada. And this year, we're looking to gain a foothold in traditionally large tourist markets, including the Bahamas, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Jamaica. Add that to our not-inconsiderable Central American casualties, and we're making a killing almost as big as our domestic totals.' 'This year, it's about more than just doing big numbers on the Saffir/Simpson Hurricane Damage Potential scale,' God continued. 'It's about more than 18-foot wave surges and 60-foot yachts being blown miles inland. This year, it's about the whole experience. We're going to be taking people directly into the eye of the storm. And when we're done, people will feel like they truly know hurricanes inside-out.' Asked whether the season would be more remarkable for the hurricanes' frequency or size, God was evasive. 'I don't have to tell you,' God said. 'But I will say this: Those weak, cerebral 'tropical depressions' are very five minutes ago. This season, it'll be devastating. Thus sayeth the Lord.' 
1	Imparting his profound enlightenment and worldly understanding onto all who would heed his words, local billing clerk and learned sage Cameron Wenzel reportedly pointed out Wednesday that the Powerball jackpot is not worth as much after taxes. They say the jackpots $1.5 billion, but you dont actually get all of that, the keenly perceptive man of learning informed several coworkers, allowing them to ponder his illuminating pronouncement for several moments before shrewdly explaining that the government takes a whole lot of it. You dont get even close to that much. If you think youre getting the whole thing, youre in for a big surprise. Sources confirmed that the wise guru then offered those gathered in the office break room one final insightful teaching, saying that were he himself to win, the first thing he would do is hire a tax adviser. 
3	School Cop Inflicts Brain Damage on One Kid, Punches One Who Cut in LineAmanda Warren This is worrying on many levels. The school resource officer at Olmsted Academy North Middle School was 31-year-old Jonathan Hardin, of the LMPD. He was not removed from the position after the first assault another soon followed. In January he pushed and punched a 13-year-old in the face, knocking the kid to the floor, whom he believed had cut in line in the cafeteria. He charged the student for menacing and resisting arrest (!) and acted on it under lies. The middle-schooler then had to be treated at Kosair Hospital. He placed another student in a chokehold, cutting off blood flow to the brain and inducing unconsciousness just a few days after the first incident. But, instead of calling for medical help for the unconscious kid, Hardin placed him in handcuffs for the rest of the day. This resulted in brain injury. Other students witnessed more abuses involving physical contact. While the officer was fired from the school post and was arrested for a few charges, it cannot be comforting to think it took two potentially deadly situations before acting on behalf of children in school. Hopefully parents will demand what should have already been taken for granted that a person like this would never make it to that role to start. However, that possibility looks bleak. Most faculty and staff in a public school are required to submit fingerprints, a background check, and often a drug test. Why is it that the very person in the school system expected to use deadly force if necessary does not undergo the same rigorous standards? Instead, kids are left in the midst of a ticking time-bomb. The menacing presence there is to remind them they carry no rights, dignity or privacy. Theres zero tolerance for every sort of acting-up including humor, friendliness or excess energy. There should be zero tolerance for any such behavior not only from staff but especially an officer placed in a middle school. It appears the school system did not act quickly in the case and surely passed the buck. Although they made complaints to the LMPD supervisor and showed video footage, the officer was left to commit more violence. Before any of this took place, Hardin had already accumulated complaints with one dismissed. Is this where that line is the line that cannot be crossed is stretched pretty far to allow child endangerment and brain damage before intervening. Truly, background checks to enter the department to begin with are laughable. Gypsy cops who have killed a person have effortlessly transferred to another department. It is absolutely chilling a public school would ever take the department at its word and place a maniac in a watch-post over children. The school has replaced the school officer, hopefully not from LMPD, which has a horrendous track record with brutality and indiscriminate shooting. Recently fromAmanda Warren: 
1	Slinking stealthily as he scanned the departure desk for any sudden movement, local man Aaron Smith reportedly prowled San Francisco International Airports gate 33 Friday like a jungle cat ready to pounce at the first sign of a boarding announcement. Smith, whose pupils had fully dilated after witnessing the gate agent lean in toward her microphone, is said to have frozen in place, tightening the grip on his carry-on bag and tensing his entire body as if he were a jaguar ready to lunge at a marsh deer drinking from an Amazonian water hole. According to onlookers, Smith tracked the elderly travelers and passengers with disabilities during the pre-boarding process like an apex feline predator eyeing the weakest member of a herd to isolate and ambush, his gaze fixed and intense as attendants guided the groups wheelchairs down the jet bridge. At press time, after the gate agent announced that passengers in the first zone could begin to board, Smith reportedly pulled his ticket from his pocket with lightning-quick reflexes and charged forward to the front of the queue in a manner identical to that of a leopard bounding after a spooked warthog. 
3	Cancer Officially Number One Cause of Childhood Death in U.S.Melissa Melton ABC News is reporting today that cancer has officially outranked every other cause of childhood death in this country: Cancer is the leading cause of childhood death in the United States, with 13,500 new diagnoses each year according to the American Cancer Institute. One out of every 300 boys and one out of every 333 girls will develop cancer before their 20th birthday, according to the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Cancer in America has seen a sharp increase over the last 100 years across all age groups. Datafrom the U.S. Public Health Service estimates that cancer death rates in 1900 were around 64 per 100,000; that number has increased almost threefold to 188.7 per 100,000 in 2005. This dramatic increase over a relatively short span of time obviously suggests environmental factors are at play here. So why havent all these charitable run for the cure cancer drives fundraisers that happen year after year after year as cancer rates only continue to grow ever cured anything? The Cancer Prevention Coalition (CPC) notes that cancer equals big business in this country: Winning the war on cancer means preventing cancer. Yet cancer is a multi-billion dollar business. Isnt preventing cancer bad for business? It is for the pharmaceutical and mammography businesses. These industries have intricate ties to U. S. policy makers, directing research funds to ensure their continued profits in cancer diagnosis/treatment. If prevention is key to crushing cancer, then finding out what is actually causing this cancer epidemic from independent studies not funded by the very companies that stand to profit off pointing fingers in the wrong direction is the first step. What is causing all this cancer, especially the rise in children? Two big factors may be chemicals and electromagnetic radiation. A whopping 70-90% of any average U.S. grocery store is filled with processed foods full of chemical additives and preservatives, many of which are genetically modified, in addition to the fact that a vast majority of U.S. food is tainted with pesticides. The CPC discusses multiple studies that have come to the same conclusion: continual exposure to the multitude of carcinogenic pesticides in this countrys food supply is killing our kids: As documented by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), residues of numerous carcinogenic pesticides are commonly found in most fruits and vegetables. Additionally, milk and other dairy products are often laden with carcinogenic pesticides and antibiotics. Factory farm meat, particularly liver, veal, frankfurters and hamburgers, are also contaminated with carcinogenic pesticides, besides growth-stimulating sex hormones and other feed additives. The Bush [Sr.] Administration has flung open the floodgates to carcinogens in our food. With active support of the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has in effect revoked the 1958 Delaney law, which banned intentional contamination of food with any level of carcinogen. Instead, the EPA now allows residues of any carcinogenic pesticide in any food at levels posing allegedly acceptable or negligible risk, as determined by manipulated numbers. Should pesticide in our food really ever be considered acceptable? Michael Taylor, former Monsanto Vice President for Public Policy and our current Food Safety Czar in this Twilight Zone we all live in, wrote The De Minimis Interpretation of the Delaney Clause: Legal and Policy Rationale advocating a change in the interpretation of the 1958 Delaney Clause back in 1988. On its face, Delaney literally stated that no carcinogenic agents could be added to processed foods. Taylors interpretation paved the way to altering Delaney to be interpreted so that small amounts of known carcinogens could be added to our food, all without regard to the cumulative negative health effects. Taylor wrote this, by the way, while working at a law firm contracted by Monsanto. Another potential factor is the continual bathing of our growing childrens brains and bodies in electromagnetic radiation (EMR). Estimates show that those of us living in modern-day America are experiencing 100,000,000 times more electromagnetic frequency (EMF) than our grandparents did simply by existing. Incidents of brain tumors have also been found to be higher in Western, developed nations. Everything from cell phones to cell towers going up everywhere to household appliances to computerseven cars emit EMF. Many of these technologies were never tested for potential harmful effects. Research has found EMF does have an adverse effect on tissues and cells, and this non-ionizing radiation has been classified as a carcinogen or potential carcinogen. The top two childhood cancers are leukemia and cancers of the brain and nervous system. Studies have linked both EMF exposure and childhood leukemia (for a few examples, see here,here, here and here), and EMF exposure to childhood brain tumors (see here, here and here). Belgium just banned cell phones specifically designed for children up to age 7 based on this risk. Armed with this information, recommendations have been suggested for limiting a childs exposure to pressing cell phones up to their skulls via hands-free devices or even using speakerphone options. WI-FI exposure in the house can be limited by opting to hard wire computers to modems and unplugging computers and modems at night or when not in use. In a pediatric nursing article Cell Phones and Children: Follow the Precautionary Road Suzanne Rosenberg wrote, While the government has deemed RF radiation to be safe, there is no current significant research to make this claim. Just like the abundance of chemicals in our food, there is a vested interest in keeping a lid on information regarding just how dangerous this continual radiation exposure could be. Cancer rates have risen to epidemic levels if estimates now show one in two adults will get cancer sometime in their lifetime. With childhood cancer as the number one child killer, what kind of cancer odds will our children face in their future? Forget racing for the cure; we have to start focusing on the cause.

1	The NFL unveiled a new concussion test Monday that will require players suspected of suffering a head injury to produce an audible grunting sound and maintain a dazed expression for several consecutive seconds before receiving clearance to return to a game. With our new concussion protocol, trainers will closely monitor whether a player can stare off into the distance, emit a low, guttural moan, and remain awake for at least two seconds, said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, adding that a player would also be authorized to take part in football activities once they showed they could successfully perform physical movements such as dropping to the ground and slowly rolling in the grass while clutching their head. Fully formed words of any kind, especially a player suggesting that they feel fine, are the best indicator that a player is in no real danger of long-term brain damage and is ready to get back on the field. Though the new test has received some criticism from a faction of former NFL athletes, league officials were quick to point out that nearly all those retired players have suffered head injuries over the course of their careers and therefore cannot be trusted to act with sound judgment. 
2	Orlando Residents Demand Mosque Be Shut Down For Breeding Too Many Terrorists In a controversial move sure to outrage liberals everywhere, residents in Orlando are pushing to shut down the radical, extremist mosque that helped spur Pulse nightclub terrorist Omar Mateen to commit the murder of 49 people. A group of neighbors have reportedly launched a petition demanding that the place get shuttered. Many local residents say they feel afraid for their safety living near a mosque that has graduated two deadly terrorists in the past two years, author Paul Sperry wrote of the incident. And where federal investigators are now actively questioning additional worshipers in connection with long-time member Omar Mateens June 12 massacre in Orlando. Unfortunately, this is just one of many similar mosques in this country. Weve seen this time and time again. Do you support the shutting down of this mosque? Do they have a responsibility to maintain the peace? 
1	Saying the finding would further scientists understanding of the most remote parts of the universe, NASA astronomers announced at a press conference Thursday that they had discovered a previously unknown cluster of nothingness in deep space. Through the use of high-resolution infrared imaging, we have identified a large grouping of total emptiness roughly 8.5 billion light-years away that had heretofore gone undetected, said NASA lead researcher Edward Hefter, adding that the newly discovered blank expanse, which is located between two immense regions of nothing, was far larger and more insignificant in scope than first thought. We are continuing to investigate the age and origin of the emptiness, but it will be a slow process given that there is absolutely nothing in the cluster to study. However, initial data indicate that the space likely formed when a smaller void merged with a larger vacuum. Hefter added that the distant cluster of nothingness strongly resembles 481 million similar such regions discovered in recent decades. 
1	As the Super Bowl captures the country's attention, excitement over the NFL's championship game is muted somewhat by the persistent question of whether winning, or losing for that matter, holds any absolute valuea question that has many football fans pondering the meaning of the game itself. 'We always say that one football team 'wins' the Super Bowl and one football team 'loses' it, but when you think about itreally think about it outside the narrow framework of scoring pointsis that an accurate assessment of what happens?' Wheeling, WV resident Matthew Holland said. 'One team celebrates while another walks solemnly back into the tunnel, but why? Another football season will begin again soon, and in the fullness of time, another Super Bowl will be played as if nothing had happened. And in a way, nothing has.' Holland's ambivalence toward what he calls 'the tenuous and ephemeral concept of victory' is representative of a large and growing movement in football fandom. Although Super Bowl parties are going ahead as scheduled, many are puzzled, and even resentful, saying that in the span of a lifetime nobody ever really wins or loses, a fact that, by natural deduction, would also include Super Bowl participants. 'Name one absolute thing that makes one team a Super Bowl winner and the other a loser besides the score,' Colts fan Gary Lam said. 'You can't. It's all relative. They both play in the same game for the same amount of time in the same sport after playing the same number of games. Any differences, such as how many times one team gets the ball to a certain area or propels it through the uprights, are relatively minor. Saying that scoring fewer points is what makes a loser is disingenuous.' 'The Cowboys scored more points than the other team in quite a few Super Bowls, but they were huge losers,' Lam added. 'And still are.' The question of whether a Super Bowl could actually be won took root in the popular consciousness when ESPN analyst Chris Berman posited the idea while reviewing 2009 highlights during a regular-season broadcast of Sunday NFL Countdown. Berman, dictionary in hand, said that winning was defined not only as finishing first, as in a race, but as succeeding by striving or effort, or by overcoming an adversary. Berman further theorized that these conflicting definitions muddy the idea that there can be a clear-cut Super Bowl winner, stating, 'After much thought, I am left with the question: What if both teams are succeeding by striving? And what if both teams actually have conflicting concepts of what constitutes their oppositionnot a mere football team, but an adversary physical, metaphysical, or perhaps even emotional? If we agree that this is the case, then each team may have its own unique definition of success independent of the other, a definition rendering any so-called 'final' score moot.' Berman's ideas grew in popularity as the segment spread through YouTube, gained momentum on various football message boards, and inspired long late-night conversations among millions of ardent football fans. Soon the nation began to consider the idea that the Super Bowl may not be the final, ultimate expression of football. 'All our lives, or at least from the time it was first played in 1967, we believed the Super Bowl was something to be won, but we never bothered to question, What if that's all wrong? What if that's all just hubristic bullshit?' said Robert Holcomb, owner and head bartender of Rob's Sports Dugout in Wantagh, NY. 'So yeah, I'll open my bar and watch these people cheer for their team, but maybe for the first time, I won't know what they're really cheering for. In the end, aren't we all just a barely self-aware collection of atoms? Couldn't we all return to dust at any moment?' Although many fans share Holcomb's misgivings, most say they will still watch the game this Sunday and will do their best not to let existential questions affect their enjoyment. 'I am going to watch the game for the tackling, running, and throwing, not because they are a means to an end, but simply because each action should be celebrated in and of itself,' New Orleans resident David Menninger said. 'After all, whether or not a Super Bowl can actually be won is a question that will never be answered to the satisfaction of all football fans.' 'Except in the case of the Vikings,' Menninger added. 'If there's one thing we all know for sure, it's that those schmucks are never going to win the Super Bowl.' 
1	Traveling circus performer Scott Mueller, who said he has dreamed of becoming a lion tamer since childhood, was dismayed Monday to discover that the most death-defying part of his new job is not putting his head into the mouths of ferocious animals, but the abundance of paperwork his profession requires. 'When you're a kid, you just assume it's all whips and chairs and keeping roaring jungle predators at bay,' Mueller said. 'But it's far less thrilling than it sounds. Do you have any idea how many forms are involved in transporting a federally controlled predator across state lines via train? And every county has a completely different set of health codes and what have you. Hell, just processing the immunization records alone takes me like six hours.' Mueller added that he sometimes wonders why he left the insurance business in the first place. 
3	A No Social Media List For Extremists And Potential Terrorists?Michael Snyder The stated goal of these proposals is to crack down on terrorism, but in the process the civil liberties of the British people are going to be flushed down the toilet. And the American people need to pay close attention to what is going on in the UK, because whatever police state measures are implemented over there usually also get implemented over here eventually. For those that believe that we need to do whatever it takes to fight terrorism, there is a very important question that you need to ask yourself. What if the government decides that you are an extremist because of what you believe? What will you do then? When I saw a report in the Telegraph today entitled Extremists to have Facebook and Twitter vetted by anti-terror police, I could hardly believe it. Do the British people actually want a no social media list that will essentially ban people from using Facebook and Twitter even though they havent actually been convicted of doing anything wrong? The following is a brief excerptfrom that article Extremists will have to get posts on Facebook and Twitter approved in advance by the police under sweeping rules planned by the Conservatives. They will also be barred from speaking at public events if they represent a threat to the functioning of democracy, under the new Extremist Disruption Orders. Theresa May, the Home Secretary, will lay out plans to allow judges to ban people from broadcasting or protesting in certain places, as well as associating with specific people. The plans to be brought in if the Conservatives win the election in May are part of a wide-ranging set of rules to strengthen the Governments counter-terrorism strategy. This sounds like an Orwellian nightmare for the British people. And who is an extremist anyway? We are being told that those that belong to ISIS are extremists, and nobody would argue that. But the article in the Telegraph makes it sound like any group that spreads or promotes hatred would be considered extremist. And under these new proposals, even belonging to such a group could get you thrown into prisonfor up to 10 years The Home Secretary will also introduce banning orders for extremist groups, which would make it a criminal offence to be a member of or raise funds for a group that spreads or promotes hatred. The maximum sentence could be up to 10 years in prison. So what does all of that exactly mean? Would anti-abortion groups be considered extremist? Would groups promoting traditional values be considered extremist? Would groups protesting against the abuses of the British government be considered extremist? Would Christian churches ultimately be considered extremist because they dont agree with the radical liberal agenda of the central government? Essentially what the Tories propose to do is to tightly regulate all speech. And there is no way to do that without turning the entire United Kingdom into a totalitarian hellhole. Meanwhile, the United States continues to march down a similar road. For example, we now live in an environment where a 16-year-old kid can be suspended from school and arrested by the police for writing a storyabout using a gun to shoot a dinosaur In another case of school officials adhering to ridiculous zero tolerance policies, a student from South Carolina was suspended and arrested by police recently after writing an imaginative story about using a gun to shoot a dinosaur. The offender, 16-year-old Alex Stone of Summerville High School in a suburb of Charleston was in the course of completing an assignment where students were asked to write something brief about themselves, much like Facebook status updates. This is utter insanity, and it is getting worse with each passing day. And it is not just kids that have to deal with this kind of thing. A Big Brother police state control grid is being slowly constructed all around us. And authorities are preparing for the day when they will have to use lethal force to keep the population in line. Just check out the following excerpt from a recent Infowars report A document released by the U.S. Army details preparations for full scale riots within the United States during which troops may be forced to engage in a lethal response to deal with unruly crowds of demonstrators. The 132-page document, titled U.S. Army Techniques Publication 3-39.33: Civil Disturbances (PDF), was written in April 2014 and recently obtained by Public Intelligence. So precisely who is the government so concerned about anyway? If ISIS and other Islamic terror groups are the problem, why train to fight against Americans? Sadly, the truth is that much of the focus in the war on terror has been turned inward during the Obama administration. Many officials in the federal government now insist that homegrown terror is the greatest threat that we face. And you may be quite surprised to learn who the government considers potential terrorists to be. The following is an extended excerpt from my previous article entitled 72 Types Of Americans That Are Considered Potential Terrorists In Official Government Documents Below is a list of 72 types of Americans that are considered to be extremists and potential terrorists in official U.S. government documents. To see the original source document for each point, just click on the link. As you can see, this list covers most of the country 1.Those that talk about individual liberties Are you starting to understand? When government officials speak of the need to crack down on extremists and potential terrorists, that is a very dangerous thing. The truth is that they could be talking about you.

2	Whole Foods Is In Trouble After Refusing To Back Down From Muslims According to recent reports, a Muslim man named Robert Greene has just filed a new federal lawsuit against the Glen Mills Whole Foods, claiming that he faced discrimination at the hands of his employer. Greene is required to pray five times each day, a practice that he claims overlaps with his work schedule. He claims that this was never a problem when he was working in prepared foods, but when he was transferred to the meat department, he received complaints from management. Greene also claims that he was subjected to discriminatory and derogatory comments. According to Greene, management once told him, This is not a mosque. The lawsuit states the Greene attempted to complain to upper management, but nothing was done. In fact, he claims that the treatment continued and led to his eventual termination. Now, Greene is attempting to collect back pay and punitive damages, claiming that his civil rights were violated. What do you think of the lawsuit? Should Greene be allowed to take additional breaks from work to pray or were his managers justified in their frustration? 
3	CU-Boulder Scientist: Society Should Prepare for Devastating Solar Flare (CME)selfnews Post The coronal mass ejection, or CME, event was likely more powerful than the famous Carrington storm of 1859, when the sun blasted Earths atmosphere hard enough twice to light up the sky from the North Pole to Central America and allowed New Englanders to read their newspapers at night by aurora light, said CU-Boulder Professor Daniel Baker. Had it hit Earth, the July 2012 event likely would have created a technological disaster by short-circuiting satellites, power grids, ground communication equipment and even threatening the health of astronauts and aircraft crews, he said. CMEs are part of solar storms and can send billions of tons of solar particles in the form of gas bubbles and magnetic fields off the suns surface and into space. The storm events essentially peel Earths magnetic field like an onion, allowing energetic solar wind particles to stream down the field lines to hit the atmosphere over the poles. Fortunately, the 2012 solar explosion occurred on the far side of the rotating sun just a week after that area was pointed toward Earth, said Baker, a solar scientist and the director of CU-Boulders Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics. But NASAs STEREO-A, satellite that was flying ahead of the Earth as the planet orbited the sun, captured the event, including the intensity of the solar wind, the interplanetary magnetic field and a rain of solar energetic particles into space. Baker will give a presentation on the subject at the 46th Annual Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union held in San Francisco Dec. 9 to Dec. 13. While typical coronal mass ejections from the sun take two or three days to reach Earth, the 2012 event traveled from the suns surface to Earth in just 18 hours. The speed of this event was as fast or faster than anything that has been seen in the modern space age, said Baker. The event not only had the most powerful CME ever recorded, but it would have triggered one of the strongest geomagnetic storms and the highest density of particle fluctuation ever seen in a typical solar cycle, which last roughly 11 years. We have proposed that the 2012 event be adopted as the best estimate of the worst case space weather scenario, said Baker, who chaired a 2008 National Research Council committee that produced a report titled Severe Space Weather Events Understanding Societal and Economic Impacts. We argue that this extreme event should be immediately employed by the space weather community to model severe space weather effects on technological systems such as the electrical power grid. I liken it to war games since we have the information about the event, lets play it through our various models and see what happens, Baker said. If we do this, we would be a significant step closer to providing policymakers with real-world, concrete kinds of information that can be used to explore what would happen to various technologies on Earth and in orbit rather than waiting to be clobbered by a direct hit. Even though it occurred about 150 years ago, the Carrington storm was memorable from a natural beauty standpoint as well as its technological impacts, he said. The event disrupted telegraph communications the Internet of the Victorian Age around the world, sparking fires at telegraph offices that caused several deaths, he said. A 1989 geomagnetic storm caused by a CME from a solar storm in March 1989 resulted in the collapse of Hydro-Quebecs electricity transmission system, causing 6 million people to lose power for at least nine hours, said Baker. The auroras from the event could be seen as far south as Texas and Florida. The Carrington storm and the 2012 event show that extreme space weather events can happen even during a modest solar cycle like the one presently underway, said Baker. Rather than wait and pick up the pieces, we ought to take lessons from these events to prepare ourselves for inevitable future solar storms. Press Release Source. 
2	Obama Gives Putin Death Stare... Watch What Happens Immediately After The media went crazy this week when Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin came face to face at the G20 Summit in China over the weekend. Obama and Putin were reported to have pull-aside meetings during the summit, though they failed to agree on a solution to the Syrian civil war. The leaders support opposing sides in the five-year conflict, which has left 300,000 people dead and forced millions more to flee. In their final face-to-face meeting, they agreed to keep up negotiations over a cease-fire agreement. Obama told reporters they had a candid, blunt, business-like meeting. This came at a crucial time, when Syrian government troops resumed their siege of the city of Aleppo. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavroy have been attempting to negotiate a deal for weeks, in an effort to curb the violence between Assads government forces and revel forces being backed by the United States. But the agreement was contingent on both sides agreeing to closer military coordination against extremist groups in Syria. Obama was publicly skeptical that Russia would uphold their part of the deal. We are back in a situation where Assad is bombing without impunity and strengthening Nusras position to recruit people for terrorism and thats a dangerous dynamic, Obama said. We want to have productive discussions that would allow us both to focus on our common enemies like ISIS but there are gaps of trust and we havent yet closed the gap. We will keep working at it over the next several days. The faster we can provide relief the better off we will be and we can have a serious conversation about this involving all the parties who are involved in Syria. What do you think about this? 
2	Atheists Sue Over The Pledge Of Allegiance, Judge Says THIS According to recent reports, the American Humanist Association recently sued the Matawan-Aberdeen Regional School District in New Jersey for discrimination. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of family that argued that reciting under God in the Pledge of Allegiance was discriminatory. The judge dismissed the lawsuit. Its not the place of state governments to take a position on god-belief, Roy Speckhardt, executive director of the AHA told reporters. The current pledge practice marginalizes atheist and humanist kids as something less than ideal patriots, merely because they dont believe the nation is under God. Keep in mind, the school does not require students to participate in the recitation of the pledge. Im so grateful the court decided that kids like me shouldnt be silenced just because some people object to timeless American values, one student said in a statement. The phrase under God protects all Americansincluding atheists because it reminds the government that it cant take away basic human rights because it didnt create them. What do you think of the lawsuit? 
3	School Makes Example Out of Autistic Child: Bomb Drawing Results in responsible removalKimberly Paxton The disturbingly graphic image above was met with an immediate and decisive response by Hillcrest Middle School. We at The Daily Sheeple decided to go ahead and publish this graphic image with the hope that we can help to avert this kind of crisis in the future. Its important that the public see the terrifying threats with which our nations teachers must deal on a day-to-day basis. Another young hooligan has been dealt with, this time in Greenville County, South Carolina. Parents there can heave a sigh of relief to know that the school is on top of things, keeping their kids safe. Drawings of cartoon bombs will NOT be tolerated in the schools there, and a young autistic boy has been suspended from school until the investigation of this mayhem is complete. Amy Parham spoke with News 4s Mandy Gaither on Tuesday. She said her son, Rhett, is autistic and goes to Hillcrest Middle School. Parham said Rhett drew a picture of a cartoon bomb from a video game he watches on YouTube called Bomberman 64. She said Rhett drew the picture at home and then took it to school and showed it to some older students. She said one of those students told school officials about the drawing and Rhett was suspended. Parham said when she got the call from the school about the incident she thought they were joking at first. (source) Young Rhetts mother is shocked by the move, particularly in light of the fact that her son is autistic. Im angry. Im upset and Im incredulous, honestly, that a child could come in and bring a drawing and thats somehow perceived as a threat especially someone with special needs who really doesnt filter information the same way that typical children do. She is even more upset because the school agreed that her son was not actually a threat. They actually reiterated to me they knew he was non-violent, Parham told the station. They knew he was not actually having a bomb, creating or making a bomb. But that they could not go with out making an example of him and take some type of action because they were worried about their perception. (source) The school has released a statement justifying their quick actions. It is important and necessary to thoroughly investigate any threat to student safety, including a students intent. This is one of the most difficult judgments a school official must make. This investigation began when threatening comments were made, resulting in the responsible removal of the student from the school to ensure everyones safety while the incident and intent were assessed. The schools administration responded appropriately to the severity of this incident, investigated it fully, and acted in accord with applicable laws, policies and procedures.(source) So, let this be a lesson no quarter will be given to those with special needs. You dont get to run around threatening and terrifying the other kids with cartoon drawings regardless of your differences. All thought crimes will be duly penalized, no matter who you are.

3	Surprised? Belgian Government Knew Terror Attack Was ComingBy Joshua Krause The country is so out of control, that it has become a breeding ground for Islamic terror groups who use the country as a staging area for future attacks against Europe. In fact, the assailants who committed the brutal terrorist attack in Paris last November were originally based in Belgium. So it shouldnt come as a surprise that a terrorist attack was attempted in this country, and it isnt first time this has happened. The only thing thats unique about it this time around, is the scale of the devastation. What is surprising, however, is the fact that the Belgian government couldnt prevent this attack. According to some sources like Haaretz, Belgian authorities should have known this was coming. The Belgian security services, as well as other Western intelligence agencies, had advance and precise intelligence warnings regarding the terrorist attacks in Belgium on Tuesday, Haaretz has learned. The security services knew, with a high degree of certainty, that attacks were planned in the very near future for the airport and, apparently, for the subway as well. Despite the advance warning, the intelligence and security preparedness in Brussels, where most of the European Union agencies are located, was limited in its scope and insufficient for the severity and immediacy of the alert. And thats not all. Turkeys President recently said something along similar lines. Belgium had been notified of the terrorist links of one of the suicide bombers involved in the deadly Brussels attacks when he was deported from Turkey last year, according to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The Belgian citizen was detained in Turkeys southeastern Gaziantep province, which borders Syria, in July of 2015, and was subsequently deported, Erdogan said. One of the attackers in Brussels is an individual we detained in Gaziantep in June 2015 and deported. We reported the deportation to the Belgian Embassy in Ankara on July 14, 2015, but he was later set free, Erdogan said, as cited by Reuters. Belgium ignored our warning that this person is a foreign fighter, he added. Similar accusations were hurled at the Belgian government following the Paris terror attack. They had all the intel they needed to foil the terrorists, but completely bungled their counter-terror efforts. For many of you reading this, Im sure alarm bells are ringing in your head. You may be wondering if a conspiracy of some kind is afoot. It almost seems too convenient for Belgium to repeatedly drop the ball on these attacks. However, its just as likely that Belgian authorities are simply incompetent. Thats certainly what many U.S. intelligence officials believe. News of Tuesdays attack was met in some parts of Washington with resigned frustration. There was only so much we could do to help, one official explained to The Daily Beast. Belgium has been stepping up the amount of people theyre devoting to intelligence and law enforcement but theyre playing catch-up and were seeing the terrible results of that today, Rep. Adam Schiff, the senior Democrat on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said on MSNBC. Indeed, an official said there were warnings as recent as this weekend. A frustrated U.S. intelligence official bemoaned the state of the counterterrorism apparatus in Belgium and across Europe. Even with the EU in general, theres an infiltration of jihadists thats been happening for two decades. And now theyre just starting to work on this. When we have to contact these people or send our guys over to talk to them, were essentially talking with people who areIm just going to put it bluntlychildren. They are not pro-active, they dont know whats going on. Theyre in such denial. Its such a frightening thing to admit their country is being taken over. So what do you think is going on? Is the Belgian government completely incompetent, or are they letting these attacks happen? Honestly, neither would surprise me at this point.

You can follow Joshuas reports at Facebook or on his personal Twitter. Joshuas website is Strange Danger. Its just Gladio B, and whether or not this particular terror cell did this on orders originating in western Intel agencies or independently, if the Belgian police who arent part of the deep state were getting close to disrupting any Intel assets then they would have been sandbagged by the cia et al like the fbi pre-9/11. Good points. I am of the opinion the center of the EU absolutely wanted this false flag, in order to justify some tyrannical items they have in mind for ALL the member nations. The attack is already looking another false flag attack directed by Western intelligence agencies. Persons unable to believe that these intelligence agencies could be this evil might read, the well documented book, ISIS is US. I think it is about time that these intelligence agencies are themselves investigated. THANK YOU for being informed, and for informing others! Thank you! Recently, Veterans Today ran an article which says that captured member of Turkish intelligence MIT admitted planning the Brussels attack. My own research shows that MIT works closely with ISIS. Again, THANK YOU! I did not know these additional things, and now I will continue my research and try to inform others. My personal opinion, (based upon what I already know) is this If we want to fight ISIS (and most terrorism in general) as its SOURCE, then we need to START by shutting down the f@$#ing CIA!!! I pretty much agree with you on that. My book, CIA: Crime Incorporated of America, sums up my feelings about the CIA. Yep, and Bush knew 9/11 was coming Always be a light that is .shininginthedark. Bush not only knew he and his puppet masters, (who Obama/Hillary also work for) helped plan and execute 9/11. Now Obama/Hillary do as they are told too. They make sure ISIS is well-funded, armed, and trained. ISIS = Israel Secret Intelligence Service. HAHAHAHA! Perfect! So TRUE! 
2	BREAKING: Major U.S. Cities Under Terrorist Attack... This Is The Beginning Of The End Yesterday afternoon, Twitter experienced renewed outages following hours of internet disruption that took now several sites earlier in the morning across the East Coast. Shortly thereafter, a wave of reports of problems accessing many popular websites came in. As it turns out, the servers at a major Internet management firm had been hit by a severe cyberattack. New Hampshire-based Dyn claims its sever infrastructure suffered a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack, which occurs when a system is overwhelmed by malicious traffic. The attack looks sophisticated, and is being investigated by the FBI. It doesnt look like a kid in a basement with a laptop, said CBS News homeland security correspondent Frances Townsend. It looks more sophisticated. A second attack around noon even impacted the FBI, and in the late afternoon Dyn warned that a third attack has just been resolved. Dyn told reporters at CNBS the attacks are well planned and executed, coming from tens of millions IP addresses at same time. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security also acknowledged the attack, assuring the public they are investigating all potential causes. The scale of the attack led to suspicions that it might be state sponsored, but ZDNet security editor Zack Whittaker claimed. It may or may not have been sponsored by some state-sponsored actor, at this point its simply too early to tell, he told CBS News. Security experts have expressed growing concern over denial-of-service attacks. Someone is extensively testing the core defensive capabilities of the companies that provide critical internet services, security expert Bruce Schneier told reporters. 
1	The war in Iraq came to a sudden, complete, and ultimately heartwarming end after the U.S. Army's hapless 115th Regiment defeated the insurgent forces in what military observers are terming a startling victory for the war's most notorious underdog unit. Spc. Bartowsky leads an unlikely formation in the Iraqi desert. 'I hereby announce the cessation of hostilities in the country of Iraq,' said the head of U.S. Central Command, Gen. John Abizaid, grudgingly singling out the ragtag bunch of misfits at a press conference Monday. 'In all my years of military experience, I've never seen a sorrier group of bumbling, no-good, dangerously incompetent yahoos as the 115th. But, against my better judgment, and in recognition of their valor, courage, hijinks, and hilarity, I'm nominating each of these lovable bastards for the Congressional Medal of Honor.' Despite a record of egregious tactical errors, a high rate of friendly-fire deaths, and an official classification as 'dishonorable dingbats,' the 115th Light Infantry Regimentor 'Walters' Wombats,' as they were known throughout southern Iraqsent troop morale soaring in the occupied territories after they wiped out a group of enemy combatants in the insurgent-controlled suburbs of Baghdad last week. 'These were the last kids anybody expected to win the U.S. military mission in Iraq, or anything else, for that matter,' said Sgt. Matthew Walters, the regiment's commanding officer. '[Spc. Charlie] Bartowsky ate so many hot dogs, he couldn't even fit inside his Hummer, [Lance Cpl.] Novak's thick glasses kept falling off whenever he had to disarm a mine, and of course, wisecracking [Pfc. Albert] Peterman was killed by sniper fire.' 'All I know is I had to finally put down the booze and get my career back on track, because, sorry as I was, I happened to be the only one who believed in them,' Walters added. 'Otherwise, they were all going back in body bags, for sure.' Low on fuel, ammunition, and self-respect, the Wombats had lost any hope of survival after being pinned down outside a bombed-out elementary school Friday afternoon. 'Gosh, we were so down in the dumps after seeing our friends maimed or killed, we were just about ready to call it quits,' Cpl. Ben Tanner, an awkward beanpole, said. 'Things looked so rotten for us, [Pfc. Larry] LaRue and I had devised a harebrained mutual-suicide scheme. But then Joey showed up.' Gum-cracking Georgia peach Spc. Jolene 'Joey' Saunders was sent to the 115th as a last-minute reinforcement. Though her arrival was met with more jeers than cheers, she provided the turning point in last week's battle after single-handedly killing three truckloads of enemy troops from 500 meters away with her rocket-propelled grenade launcherwithout breaking a sweat. 'Sarge told us that if Joey could do it, so could we,' Tanner said. 'We decided to win this stupid war for the Sarge once and for all.' Though they are now credited with solving an intractable regional conflict many thought would end in retreat, the Wombats' only previous victory came against a British mobile military hospital they destroyed in a tragically wacky barrage of mortar fire. Throughout their tour of duty, they were repeatedly reprimanded for fumbling grenades, getting lost after reading GPS-generated satellite maps upside down, and stranding fellow soldiers in the middle of pitched urban firefights in order to flirt with sassy Iraqi civilians. After a series of unorthodox operationsincluding binding and gagging Iraqi guards, stealing their uniforms, and leaving them naked and freezingthe Wombats finally took the upper hand when bookworm Spc. Saul Falbaum's secret ability to read Arabic led the regiment to a hidden cache of the chemical agent white phosphorus. 'Boy, you should have seen the looks on those crazy Iraqis' faces when we let that stuff loose,' Sgt. Walters said. 'We were all scrambling to find impenetrable metal barriers and trying to get our gas masks on, but I'd bet dollars to donuts it was priceless.' Satellite footage shows that the victorious goofball maneuver prompted a moment of stunned silence, then wild applause by rival units and scarred Iraqi civilians, who swarmed the unlikely heroes and carried them off the battlefield. Within hours, diplomatic relations were established with a new, democratically united Iraq. 'Let's hear it for Walters' Wombats!' said President George W. Bush in a special televised awards ceremony for the vindicated oddballs, all of whom now have girlfriends for the first time in their lives. 'The war is over. Now let's party!' Funeral services for Pfc. Booker T. Roosevelt, the regiment's token African American and medic, will be held Thursday at St. Paul Baptist Church in Harlem. 
1	Adam Sandler fans across the nation expressed deep disappointment in the new film Punch-Drunk Love, which features an intelligent, nuanced lead performance by the comedian. 'He didn't even do his funny high-pitched 'retardo guy' voice,' said college student Bradley Sanderson, 19, after seeing the critically lauded film Tuesday. 'And what was with all that textured, multi-dimensional character-development shit?' Similarly let down was fan Bob Trotta: 'I didn't pay $9 to see Adam Sandler wrestle with some psychological crisis. He could have at least put a trash-can lid on his head and gone, 'I'm Crazy Trash Head! Gimme some candy!' How hard would that have been?' 
2	BREAKING: Republican Party Turns On Trump, Delivers Him THIS Devastating Blow Over the past few weeks, Donald Trump and his campaign announcement has been the source of major debate. During his announcement, Trump called illegal immigrants criminals, drug dealers, and rapists. His comments immediately received backlash from the liberal media and had an impact on some of his major business relationships. After being dropped by Univision and NBC, hosts of the Miss USA competition both quit suddenly, and Mexico dropped out of the pageant. The July 12 performance was left without a host and with an empty spot. Now, it appears that even Republicans are turning on the famous businessman, claiming that he will be banned from the GOP debates. Republican donor John Jordan said Monday that GOP leaders should take steps to block Trumps access to the first presidential debate in early August, reports read. Someone in the party ought to start some sort of petition saying, If Trumps going to be on the stage, Im not going to be on there with him, Jordan told reporters. Im toying with the idea of it. Others argue, however, that Republican candidates should not be battling with one another. What do you think of the backlash against Trump? Is it going way too far? 
2	Ferguson Mob Seeks Revenge By Brutally Attacking White Man In Blatant Racist Attack Amid the chaos in Ferguson, the mainstream media seems intent on reporting on every little incidentexcept those, of course, that demonstrate hate crimes against white people in the area. Instead, the media is choosing to focus on the oppression of the black community. It has not mentioned, however, that this so-called oppression has turned to anger. And this anger is being taken out on the white population in the form of violent attacks. Most recently, a white man who was standing outside of a St. Louis McDonalds found himself suddenly surrounded by a group of black men. The men continued to beat the man, in what is being deemed a backwards attempt at justice for the death of Mike Brown at the hands of a white officer. While the media ignored the incident, the story did circulate through social media. The story about the Washington University student who was attacked by the black group was shared across the community. It looked liked the knockout game, one user commented. What do you think? Are you sick of being told the half-truth by the media? Most recently, a man was simply standing outside of a St. Louis McDonalds where he was surrounded by a group of black man who punched the man in the face for no reason whatsoever. Seemingly unprovoked, the group intentionally targeted this man for nothing more than his skin color in a backwards attempt at justice for Mike Brown. 
3	Food Inflation, Food Shortages And Food Riots Are ComingMichael Snyder, Contributor The United States exports more food than anyone else in the world, and that is why the entire globe has been nervously watching the horrific drought in the United States this summer with deep concern. It has been the worst drought in more than 50 years, and it has absolutely devastated corn crops all over the nation. According to Bill Witherell, the U.S. corn crop this year is said to be on a par with that of 1988 crop, the worst in the past thirty years. That has never happened before in the history of the United States. And coming into this year we were already in bad shape. In fact, U.S. corn reserves were sitting at a 15-year low at the end of 2011. So where will we be at the end of 2012? The official estimates for corn yields put out by the U.S. government just keep dropping, but many fear that they arent dropping quickly enough. There have been some reports on the ground from some areas of the country that have been very distressing. The following is from a recent Wall Street Journal article. Meanwhile, scouts with the Pro Farmer Midwest Crop Tour on Monday reported an average estimated corn yield in Ohio of 110.5 bushels per acre, down from the tours estimate of 156.3 bushels a year ago. In South Dakota, tour scouts reported an average yield estimate of just 74.3 bushels per acre, down from 141.1 bushels a year ago. Those are catastrophic numbers. But farmers are not the only ones that have been impacted by the dry weather. A recent article by Chris Martenson summarized some of the other effects of this drought.. Even though the mainstream media seems to have lost some interest in the drought, we should keep it front and center in our minds, as it has already led to sharply higher grain prices, increased gasoline costs (via the pass-through of higher ethanol costs), impeded oil and gas drilling activity in some areas (due to a lack of water), caused the shutdown of a few operating electricity plants, temporarily reduced red meat prices (but will also make them climb sharply later) as cattle are dumped in response to feed- and pasture-management concerns, and blocked and/or reduced shipping on the Mississippi River. All this and theres also a strong chance that todays drought will negatively impact next years Winter wheat harvest, unless a lot of rain starts falling soon. Ranchers have had a particularly hard time during this drought. If you expect to pay about the same for meat this time next year as you are doing now you are going to be deeply disappointed. The following is from a recent Reuters article. The worst drought to hit U.S. cropland in more than half a century could soon leave Americans reaching deeper into their pockets to fund a luxury that people in few other countries enjoy: affordable meat. Drought-decimated fields have pushed grain prices sky high, and the rising feed costs have prompted some livestock producers to liquidate their herds. This is expected to shrink the long-term U.S. supply of meat and force up prices at the meat counter. All over the western United States pastures have been destroyed and there is not enough hay. It would be hard to overstate the damage that this nightmarish drought is doing to our ranchers. I spoke with Caldwell [of Indiana horse rescue] and a number of other horse-rescue organizations around the country by telephone this week. The relentlessly hot dry weather, amplified in many areas by wildfire, has been devastating to farmers, ranchers and other horse owners. Everybody is using their winter hay now. The pastures are destroyed and they probably wont recover before winter, said Caldwell. The price of hay has doubled, and the availability is down by 75 percent. Caldwell is somewhat sanguine about his own lot, but not optimistic about what lies ahead. Today the problem is not nearly as bad as its going to be, he told me. Its terribly bad today, but it is going to get a lot worse. But of course as I mentioned earlier this is not just an American problem. The truth is that the entire globe is facing a rapidly growing food crisis. According to the UN, the global price of food rose 6 percent in the month of July alone. According to the World Bank, global food prices actually rose 10 percent during July. Either figure is really, really bad. The other day, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the International Fund for Agricultural Development and the World Food Program issued a joint statement in which they stated the following. We need to act urgently to make sure that these price shocks do not turn into a catastrophe hurting tens of millions over the coming months. If the price of food at our supermarkets suddenly went up 20 percent that would really stretch our family budgets here in the United States, but we would survive. On the other side of the globe, such a price change can mean the difference between life and death. The following is from the CNN article mentioned above. But step outside the developed world, and the price of food suddenly becomes the single most important fact of human economic life. In poor countries, people typically spend half their incomes on food and by food, they mean first and foremost bread. When grain prices spiked in 2007-2008, bread riots shook 30 countries across the developing world, from Haiti to Bangladesh, according to the Financial Times. A drought in Russia in 2010 forced suspension of Russian grain exports that year and set in motion the so-called Arab spring. Already, 18 million people in Niger, Mali, Chad, Mauritania and Senegal are dealing with very serious food shortages. In Yemen, things are even worse. Yemen has a catastrophic food crisis. Nearly half the population, 10 million people, does not have enough to eat. While 300,000 children are facing life threatening levels of malnutrition. The United Nations says Yemen is already in the throes of a disaster. The levels are truly terrible. Whatever we do thousands upon thousands of children will die this year from malnutrition, Unicefs man in Yemen, Geert Cappelaere, said. In some areas child malnutrition is at 30%, to put it in context, an emergency is 15%. It is double that already. But this is just the beginning. These food shortages are going to spread and we will eventually see food riots that will absolutely dwarf the food riots of 2008. Many scientists fear the worst. Some are even now warning that food shortages will become so severe that they will eventually force much of the globe on to a vegetarian diet. Leading water scientists have issued one of the sternest warnings yet about global food supplies, saying that the worlds population may have to switch almost completely to a vegetarian diet over the next 40 years to avoid catastrophic shortages. Humans derive about 20% of their protein from animal-based products now, but this may need to drop to just 5% to feed the extra 2 billion people expected to be alive by 2050, according to research by some of the worlds leading water scientists. There will not be enough water available on current croplands to produce food for the expected 9 billion population in 2050 if we follow current trends and changes towards diets common in western nations,the report by Malik Falkenmark and colleagues at the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) said. The days of very cheap meat are coming to an end. Meat will be increasingly viewed as a luxury around the globe from now on. Sadly, there are some in the financial world that actually intend to make lots of money off of this crisis. The United Nations, aid agencies and the British Government have lined up to attack the worlds largest commodities trading company, Glencore, after it described the current global food crisis and soaring world prices as a good business opportunity. With the US experiencing a rerun of the drought Dust Bowl days of the 1930s and Russia suffering a similar food crisis that could see Vladimir Putins government banning grain exports, the senior economist of the UNs Food and Agriculture Organisation, Concepcion Calpe, told The Independent: Private companies like Glencore are playing a game that will make them enormous profits. Does that disturb you? It should. Driving up the price of food for starving people is not a good way to make money.Food is one of our most basic needs.When people are deprived of food they become very desperate. Just look at what is already happening in Spain. The economic crisis in that country has just begun, and people are already looting supermarkets. You can see a video news report about Spanish activists looting 3 tons of food from local supermarkets right here. Much of that food was donated to food banks, but in the future I am sure that the desperate activists will not be so generous when things get really tight. In other areas of Spain, large numbers of people have been filmed digging through trash dumpsters for food. Could you ever see yourself doing that?Dont be so sure that hunger will never come to America.Right now, a record 46.7 million Americans are on food stamps, and anti-hunger organizations all around the country are reporting more of a need than ever before. For now the federal government is able to feed the tens of millions of Americans that do not have enough money for food, but what happens when a day comes when the federal government stops doing that? And what happens if the drought in the United States continues throughout the winter and into next summer and Dust Bowl conditions return to the United States? In a previous article entitled 17 Signs That You Better Start Preparing For A Nightmarish Global Food Crisis, I detailed some more of the reasons why people need to start preparing for food inflation and food shortages. In the past we could always go out to the supermarket or to Wal-Mart and fill up our shopping carts with huge piles of very cheap food whenever we wanted to. It will not always be that way. Get prepared while you still can. Meanwhile, many Americans continue to enjoy life as if nothing will ever change. For example, the Rich Kids of Instagram have been very busy showing off their wealth all summer long. You can see some of the ridiculous ways that they are blowing their wealth right here. Sadly, they are just a product of our degenerating society. We have piled up wealth in these troubled times while the rest of the world has suffered. But even our great wealth was not enough for us so we went out and borrowed trillions upon trillions of dollars. We have accumulated the greatest mountain of debt in the history of the world, but we are still not satisfied. In the end, we will weep and howl in misery as everything that we have built falls apart around us.

1	Calling it a vital part of his daily routine, local man and utterly depraved masochist Richard Petrillo revealed to reporters Friday that he enjoys keeping up with the news. The sick man, who confirmed that he makes a concerted effort to follow all manner of current events, evidently derives pleasure from torturing himself in this way, saying he likes to know as much as possible about the world in which he lives. Theres a lot going on these days, and I like to stay on top of things, Petrillo said of his disturbing desire to follow news stories, including those about the Middle East, the state of the U.S. economy, and the recent activities of the National Security Agency. With such a wealth of knowledge at our fingertips, it just makes sense to keep abreast of the latest developments. Its important to stay informed, you know? the degenerate continued while perusing a news website. Oh, look, heres an update on whats happening in Somalia. According to those close to Petrillo, the 36-year-old web designer devotes several hours each week to this vile form of self-abuse. He reportedly indulges his twisted obsession by seeking out news articles and videos on everything from politics and international affairs to health care and the environmentoften multiple times a day. In the past, sources said, Petrillo only gratified this unsettling need for punishment in the privacy of his own home, where he consults the internet, television, and various news magazines to find out about the worlds most pressing issues. Now, however, he often engages in his perverse behavior publicly, using a smartphone to see whats currently happening in Syria, Egypt, Greece, Russia, and even North Korea. I follow a lot of major news outlets on Twitter so I can check in throughout the day and catch all the updates, said Petrillo, who reportedly cant go half an hour without reading the latest headlines, all of which contain explicit details about what is actually happening in the world at this moment, details that sources confirmed only a human being with a sick, psychosexual enjoyment of pain and suffering could possibly derive gratification from. But on the other hand, Ill sit in the evening with a copy of The New Yorker and read an in-depth article on the situation in Lebanon. I guess you could say Im a bit of a news junkie, added the individual who can apparently read about millions of displaced Syrians before bed and still manage to sleep. Petrillo went on to add that he enjoys spending his Sunday mornings drinking coffee and reading the newspaper, presumably a horrifying and painful act, yet also a favorite weekend ritual that the deviant man seems to get off on. Sources confirmed that Petrillo makes no effort whatsoever to conceal his insatiable desire for self-inflicted torment, going so far as to take pride in his familiarity with issues such as Americas distribution of wealth, the latest jobs report, whats happening in Congress recently, and the nations current incarceration rate. In fact, he is reportedly not content with simple masochism, and often spreads the anguish of his knowledge to his fellow citizens. Whenever I come across an interesting article online, I like to email it to my friends and try to get a conversation going, said Petrillo, his voice betraying no shame. For example, a while back I sent around a story about how hundreds of Rohingya Muslims have been [omitted for sake of decency] by the Myanmar government. Its really important stuff, but theres just not much awareness of the issue. I love finding something like that and sharing it with people, the sicko added. I really do.

Its safe to say that cutting to opposing fans after Sam makes a big play will always be out of the question, said cameraman Joseph Heizer, adding that when they are obligated to pan the crowd, theyll need to be ready to quickly jerk away from inflammatory signs and land on something safe like the referees, coaching staff, or turf. Were also going to stick with a lot of zoomed-out, low-focus shots of the stands so that the poster boards with homophobic slurs just look like colorful squares. And any time we do zoom in on screaming fans, well just have to shake the camera a little bit so you cant tell what theyre actually shouting. The cameramen added that they are also proposing a 15-second delay for all games taking place in the South. 
3	Man Arrested, Charged with Multiple Felonies for Telling Jurors About Their RightsBy Carey Wedler Mark Ianicelli, 56, set up a table outside of Lindsay-Flanigan Courthouse in Denver in order to educate jurors about jury nullification. Jury nullification is the process by which members of juries can nullify unjust laws by finding defendants charged with them not guilty. Ianicelli is charged with tampering with a jury, a felony in Colorado that carries a minimum bond of $5,000. He was charged by the Denver District Attorney for seven counts of tampering, and has since bailed out of jail. Ianicelli was in the second day of a planned three-day outreach to educate jurors entering the courtroom about the power of jury nullification. He was handing out fliers when he was arrested. His goal was to inform potential jurors about a vital, centuries-old function of juries. The practice was first used in America in 1735 to exonerate a man of libel charges after he printed unflattering statements about the Governor of New York (a British colony at the time). Though he had undoubtedly printed them, the jury found him not guilty and set the precedent that members of juries could judge the morality and legitimacy of laws. The United States first Chief Justice, John Jay, once told jurors, You have a right to take upon yourselves to judge [both the facts and law]. Jurors would seize this right to nullify anti-sedition laws in the early 1800s that attempted to stifle free speech criticizing the newly formed United States government. Judges first began cracking down on the right to nullify in the late 1800s. By that time, jurors had already used nullification to challenge the Fugitive Slave Act, which imposed heavy punishment on Northerners who aided escaped slaves from the South. Though judges came to discourage nullification, the practice went on to be useful in nullifying Prohibition-era laws. Jury nullification still affects prohibition against outlawed drugs. In 2012, a New Hampshire jury acquitted a Rastafarian man, Doug Darrell, of growing marijuanathough he was technically guilty of the violation. The jurors had been informed of their right to nullify and found the law and charges against Darrell to be unjust. They found him not guilty. However, this power of the people has not gone unchecked. Though some states allow for the practice, judges often fail to notify jurors of their ability to nullify. selfnewss have been harassed and jailed for attempting to inform jurors of their right to judge the morality of laws. The Fully Informed Jury Association (FIJA), a non-profit organization that educates jurors on their rights (and whose pamphlets Ianicelli was handing out when he was arrested), is one group that attempts to counter these suppressions by the justice system. Kirsten Tynan of FIJA reported on Ianicellis case, stating that officials in Denver claimed a juror had complained about Ianicellis presence near the courthouse, prompting his arrest. Tynan was told Ianicelli was arrested on charges of jury tampering, which according to Colorado law, consists of: Though Tynan acknowledged that under some circumstances nullification activism is not legally permissible, it appears Ianicelli was within his rights. He is due back in court on August 11 to face his victimless felony charges. It is more than alarming that a man attempting to facilitate and strengthen the judicial process is punished with the full force of the lawthe very thing Ianicelli sought to educate jurors about. As Harlan F. Stone, the 12th Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court said in 1941, The law itself is on trial quite as much as the cause which is to be decided. When the justice system refuses to allow jurors to be aware of their rights, let alone exercise them, the countrys entire system of law and order is called into question.

This will be very interesting, because the jury in his trial will have to hear all about jury nullification! Or, the judge puts a gag order on those two words and any attempt to explain them! Damage is done, the public has heard all about it! The judge is an oath violating traitorous fool! He will have to nullify the charges to keep this under control! LOL!!! That is pretty funny,sadly, and trueim betting on the latter, a complete gag. The system is so corrupt and rigged you cant even properly defend yourself anymore Another reason we havent voted in twenty five years, only those that vote are called to serve on juries. Also: The justice system is corrupt to the core and criminals can appeal the death penalty and stay on death row for decades or lifetime, even when the jury rec. death . Local folks are waiting for closure on a twenty five year case in my city, where the guy is still on death row for an air tight murder one case (DNA found at the scene). I have nothing to do with the system and never will. This country is trashed in many ways to elaborate here. One example is we are being invaded via our borders and Muslims are entering the country legally by Obamas amnesty and they are unscreened, with jihadists embedded with the refugees. Vandals were allowed in and Rome fell. Train wreck ahead. The arrest and felony charges will only be a shock to those who believe America still has a functioning justice system. The The But It If What If Look The Make A Very These Justice No In So If you look at that jury tampering law, you realize the judges and others in the justice system, such as District Attorneys, tamper with juries every day. So obviously the law only applies to the people who are the ultimate victims of bad laws, the people themselves. Colorado legal system is setup to prey up anyone that provides money to the local government. This judge is extremely complicit with how corrupt the system is and will defend his income from the system even if it means your death by cop One would think that when an corporate executive administrator masquerading as a public official and a judge gives any instructions to a jury he is tampering with the jury and when he tells the jury to disregard something he is tampering with the jury and when he just answer yes or no, he is tampering with evidence. You get the idea. Maybe judges should be charged with something, like not issuing all the instructions to the juries? The only way it seems to get rid of BAD LAWS and victimless crimes is through Jury Nullification. Because We CERTAINLY cannot expect the establishment to do it. They see every bogus law as a source of revenue. Wow, as time goes on we see that right is wrong and wrong is right. a courtroom is where the English language and the Constitution go to die. One day North Korea will have more freedom than USA Demand a jury trial. Justice for the silver spoon crowd. Apparently this also means that the First Amendment is now null and void as well. As far as I can tell he didnt directly contact any juror and try to influence their selection or vote. Perhaps grounds to sue the Denver DA on violation of his Civil and Constitutional Rights. If he was handing these pamphlets out to everyone, the state has no case. This is why I always encourage anyone who loves liberty to move to New Hampshire, where jury nullification is protected by state law. This means were able to educate jurors about their right to nullify with impunity and have we ever been doing that: His mistake was to hand them out on Court House property! 
1	After tuckering himself out this week and cancelling his popular musical shows, sources confirmed that the singing dancing boy is very upset, and is refusing to get dressed up and sing and dance again until hes feeling all better. Sources confirmed that the singing dancing boy has been cranky since his birthday and continues to act out mainly because the little guy is very, very tired and needs a nap. We regret to inform you that the razzle dazzle song-and-dance boy is very tired and will not perform his little shows for you at this time, representatives for the song-singing shimmy-shake child said in a press release, adding that the pooped-out performer is refusing to put on his dress-up outfits and sing his little songs. Weve tried to get him to smile multiple times, but hes too grumpy right now. We believe that, in the future, he will smile and move his legs around and sing again, but hes in his room right now and is refusing to come out, officials added. According to sources close to the singing dancing boy, the exhausted little guy just needs some time to calm down and drive his shiny car and play on his little phone before he can be convinced to dress up in sparkly clothes and have a fun time again. However, at this point, he reportedly wont have music time or sign any pictures of himself smiling or singing or dancing. In the meantime, fans of the singing dancing boy have pledged their support with millions of little messages. We love you, singing and dancing boy! 12-year-old fan @singingdancingboyfan said on Twitter. Dont believe the h8ers! Cant wait 2 c u up on the stage again! At press time, the singing dancing boy had announced that he isnt in a bad mood anymore and is ready to come out of his room soon, sing a fun little song, and dance around with a big smile on his happy boy face. 
2	Judge Refuses To Marry Same Sex Couples Because Of His Dedication To Christ, But Then THIS Happens [VIDEO] Judge Vance Day of Marion County, Oregon is finding himself at the center of controversy after refusing to marry same-sex couples because of his Christian faith. Oregon legalized gay marriage over a year ago, in May of 2014. Since then, Day has been referring same-sex cases to other judges. Now, Day is receiving criticisms from liberals who believe that his deeply-held religious beliefs are preventing him from faithfully executing the law. Others claim Day is just exercising his First Amendment rights. What do you think? Do you support Day for standing up for his beliefs? 
3	Monsantos Harvest of ShameStephen Lendman It was a feature TV documentary series. Theyre not shown today. They told viewers what they need to know. Modern-day Murrows arent around. Theyre excluded from TV. They dont get air time. He discussed how American migrant agricultural workers are exploited. He and colleague Edward P. Morgan covered the issue on CBS Radio. CBS News president Fred Friendly called it natural for Murrow to pursue. He cared. He supported oppressed workers. It showed in his work. CBS featured whats no longer broadcast. Harvest of Shame aired in late November 1960. It was right after Thanksgiving Day. Co-producer David Lowe explained, saying: We felt (we) could stress the fact that much of the food cooked for Thanksgiving throughout the country was picked by migratory workers. We hoped that the pictures of how these people live and work would shock the consciousness of the nation. This scene is not taking place in the Congo, he said. It has nothing to do with Johannesburg or Cape Town. It is not Nyasaland or Nigeria. This is Florida. These are citizens of the United States, 1960. This is a shape-up for migrant workers. The hawkers are chanting the going piece rate at the various fields. This is the way the humans who harvest the food for the best-fed people in the world get hired. One farmer looked at this and said, We used to own our slaves. Now we just rent them. Nothing changed. Wage slavery proliferates across America. Its commonplace in garment factory sweatshops. Conditions for over two million farm workers are horrific. Theyre exploited. They work for sub-poverty wages without benefits. Florida workers have been chained to poles, physically beaten, cheated out of pay, and intimidated to stay quiet. Federal and state oversight is lax. Anything goes is policy. Its not just in Florida. California, Texas, Washington, North Carolina and other state agricultural workers are denied rights. Murrow closed, saying: The migrants have no lobby. Only an enlightened, aroused and perhaps angered public opinion can do anything about the migrants. The people you have seen have the strength to harvest your fruit and vegetables. They do not have the strength to influence legislation. Maybe we do. Good night, and good luck. How would Murrow handle todays harvest of shame? How would he address GMO hazards? Hed pull no punches explaining. Hed say what needs to be told. Murrows arent on TV today. Theyre verboten. Corporate and state messages alone are aired. Anti-Murrow types feature them. Managed news misinformation substitutes for truth and full disclosure. Agribusiness and other corporate giants permit no other way. Monsantos the worlds leading GMO seed producer. Theyre hazardous to human health. They should be banned. GMO foods and ingredients are toxic. Theyre unsafe to eat. Independent studies prove it. Monsanto and other agribusiness giants want all animal and vegetable life forms patented. Whatever they want they get. They want worldwide food control. They proliferate stuff unsafe to eat. They want labeling prohibited. They want reliable science buried. They want issues of food safety ignored. They want critics silenced. They want consumers having no say. Profits alone matter. Food safety doesnt count. Maybe unwitting consumers wont notice. How can they without legislative protection? Without labeling, how can they know? Monsantos the industry giant. It controls 90% of the US GMO seed market. Its Roundup herbicide contaminates hundreds of millions of acres in America, Europe, South America, Australia and South Africa. Its other biopesticides increase contamination. March 2013 Monsanto Protection Act provisions prohibit courts from halting GMO seed sales. No matter how toxic, theyre permitted. No matter now harmful to human health, theyre OK. Monsantos bottom line alone matters. It buys enough influence to assure it. Staying healthy depends on avoiding harmful substances. Its not easy with too few other choices. Its harder without labeling. Its nearly impossible in America with Congress waging war on consumers. In May 2008, investigative journalists Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele headlined their Vanity Fair article Monsantos Harvest of Fear. Its frightening tactics include ruthless legal battles against small farmers (and) decades-long history of toxic contamination. Perhaps no other corporation harms more people worldwide more horrifically. Its products harm human health. It does so on a massive scale. They proliferate painful illnesses and death. Gary Rineharts one of Eagleville, MOs few surviving businesses. Hes a Monsanto victim. He recalls a stranger verbally assaulting him. He claimed proof he planted GMO soybeans in violation of company patents. Come clean and settle, he was told. Otherwise, face consequences. Rinehart was incredulous. He knew about Monsanto viciousness. Its terror tactics are well-known. He knows it sues for alleged patent violations. Rineharts a country store owner. Hes not a farmer. He doesnt sell seeds. Eaglevilles a small town. Its population numbers around 350. He was furious about what happened. It made me and my business look bad, he said. He told the stranger: Youve got the wrong guy. He persisted saying: Monsanto is big. You cant win. We will get you. You will pay. These type scenes proliferate across America. Monsanto seed police terrorize farmers, farmer co-ops, seed dealers, and anyone it suspects infringe on its patent rights. They fan out into fields and farm towns. They spy. They secretly videotape farmers. They photograph them. They monitor store owners, co-ops, and community meetings. They get information from informants. They confront victims face-to-face. They want access to their records. They pressure them to sign papers granting it. Farmers call them seed police, Gestapo, and Mafia. They describe their ruthless tactics. Monsanto wont comment when asked. It spends more than $2 million a day in research to identify, test, develop and bring to market innovative new seeds and technologies that benefit farmers, it claims. It protects its patents. It terrorizes victims doing it. It does so besides harming human health on an unprecedented scale. It menaces humanity unconscionably. Its unapologetic. It wants all life forms patented. It wants total control of nature. Its making virtually everything Americans eat unsafe. It wants farmers refusing their seeds put out of business. Farming was unchanged for millennia. Food was safe to eat. Seeds were saved for replanting. Monsanto changed what worked. It turned nature on its head. In 1980, the Supreme Court turned seeds into widgets. It permitted dominant agribusiness giants to control world food production. It granted patent protection for live human-made microorganism(s). It wasnt a seed. It was GEs Pseudomonas bacterium. Its used to disperse oil spills. Doing so set a precedent. Monsanto took full advantage. It became the worlds largest GMO seed producer. It won hundreds of seed patents. Its more than other agribusiness giants combined. Farmers buying Roundup Ready seeds sign agreements. They promise not to replant. They pledge no resales. Theyre forced to buy new seeds annually. Theres no turning back. They reaped the whirlwind. Monsanto harvests a bonanza. It does so at their expense. And anyone eating foods and ingredients from their seeds. Some farmers dont understand company terms. Others ignore them. Some have no choice. GMO seeds blown on their lands liable them. At times, birds deposit them. Theyre stuck either way. Seed dealers inadvertently mix traditional seeds with GMO ones. They look the same. Laboratory analysis alone can tell. In 1980, no US GMO crops were grown. They now proliferate nationwide. They contaminate around 2.4 billion acres. Theyre grown worldwide in over two dozen countries. Monsanto wants them grown everywhere. It claims its seeds represent a giant leap for mankind. Users say otherwise. Company terror tactics made it feared and loathed. Controlling seeds is no abstraction, said Barlett and Steele. Whoever provides the worlds seeds controls the worlds food supply. Lawyers representing farmers Monsanto sues say intimidations part of its strategy. Most victims lose. Some give up and pay. Litigation costs are enormous. Monsanto can outspend any farmer, co-op, seed dealer, or other small business. No matter how valid a victims case, winnings nearly impossible. Strong-arm tactics prevent it virtually always. Resistance makes things worse. Doing so faces full-force company wrath. It reflects no-holds-barred terror. Monsantos determined to win. Doing so intimidates others not to contest. According to Center for Food Safetys Joseph Mendelson: I dont know of another company that chooses to sue its own customer base. Its a very bizarre business strategy. Monsanto does it because it works. Its the industrys dominant company. Legal victories increase its power. Its history is deplorable. For over 100 years, it produced products harming human health. Some were banned. Others continue to be sold. Its legacy includes Agent Orange, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), bovine growth hormone (rBHG), saccharin, aspartame, artificial caffeine, industrial fluids, pesticides, polystyrene, DDT, RoundUp (glyphosate) herbicide, and other products causing diseases and death. Proliferating GMO seeds are worst of all. They contaminate food supplies. Doing so poses an enormous threat to human health and welfare. Congress permits it. Whatever Monsanto wants it gets. Public safety doesnt matter. Its ignored for profit. Its hard imagining how many millions end up harmed. Doing so should cause alarm. Authorities should act responsibly. Instead, they ignore what everyone has a right to know. They permit what demand prohibiting. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is run by agribusiness and Big Pharma interests. Monsantos well represented. Michael Taylor serves as Deputy FDA Commissioner for Foods. Hes a former Monsanto vice president for public policy. Hes featured in company friendly documentaries. He spent decades representing its interests in Washington. He still does at FDA. Monsanto buys politicians like toothpaste. Its lobbyists infest Washington. They sell junk science. Independent analysis is verboten. Contaminated world food supplies proliferate. Monsanto made them unsafe to eat across America. Its doing so across many other parts of the world.

2	BLM Gets Louisiana Police Chief Fired After He Exposes Obamas War On Cops According to recent reports, officers are being fired for speaking out against President Obama and his lack of support for law enforcement. Police Chief Skylar Dore reportedly posted on his personal Facebook page about how he believes cops and other law enforcement officials are getting a raw deal. He specifically commented on Obama and the war on my brothers. (White police officer). This is well within his rights as an American citizen. He has a right to express his frustration at the killings of white cops by Black Lives matter supporters and other anti-cop organizations. But that didnt stop him from getting a pink slip for his posts. Jonesville resident Sharon Stevenson voiced her concerns about Dores comments at a town council meeting last week. After the meeting, Stevenson said she did not know Dore enough to draw the conclusion that he is racist. My main concern is with everything going on right now, the whole country is hostile, if you are chief of police, why would you want to say something like that? Stevenson commented. If he had been just a white Americans wanting to rant and raveeverybody has their own opinionbut my though is that when youre in certain positions, you have to present yourself in a certain way. Instead, Stevenson claims, Dore should be spreading messages of unity. Our country is in trouble, and we need to be praying, Stevenson concluded. What do you think? Do you support Dore for speaking his mind?

3	Gardasil Fingerprints Found in Post-Mortem SamplesNorma Erickson, President Two teenage girls from opposite ends of the world both dead before their time have two additional things in common. They both took Gardasil to try and prevent cervical cancer and fragments of the HPV-16-L1 antigen used in Gardasil have been found in blood vessels within their brains. The HPV-16-L1 protein is one of the antigens used in both Gardasil and Cervarix. An antigen is a toxin or other foreign substance that induces an immune response in the body. Theoretically, these antigens are not supposed to cross the blood brain barrier. However, according to a recently concluded case study this may not be the case. Using a new immunohistochemical (IHC) protocol they developed, Drs. Chris Shaw and Lucija Tomljenovic examined post-mortem samples taken from the cerebellum, hippocampus, choroid plexus and watershed cortex of a 19 year-old girl; as well as post-mortem samples of the cerebellum, hippocampus, choroid plexus, portions of the brainstem (medulla, midbrain, pons), right basal ganglia, right parietal and left frontal lobes of a 14 year-old girl. They tested for the presence of two of the specific antigens used in both Gardasil and Cervarix: HPV-16-L1 and HPV-18-L1. Does the presence of HPV-16-L1 particles inside these girls cerebral vasculature provide evidence of a Trojan Horse mechanism by which these particles adsorbed to aluminum adjuvant gain access to human brain tissue? Remember, both Gardasil and Cervarix contain HPV-16-L1 virus-like particles (VLPs) of the recombinant major capsid (L1) protein adsorbed onto aluminum adjuvants. Tomljenovic and Shaw also discovered that the antibodies against HPV-16-L1, which were used to detect the presence of HPV-16-L1 particles, were also binding to the wall of cerebral blood vessels in the brain samples. Their IHC analysis also showed increased T-cell signaling and marked activation of the classical antibody-dependent complement pathway in cerebral vascular tissues from both cases. This pattern of complement activation, in the absence of an active brain infection, indicates an abnormal triggering of the immune response in which the immune attack is directed towards the blood vessels of the brain, thus triggering an autoimmune cerebral vasculitis. Cerebral vasculitis is a serious disease which typically results in fatal outcomes when undiagnosed and left untreated. The fact that many of the symptoms reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) following HPV vaccination are indicative of cerebral vasculitis, but are unrecognized as such (i.e. intense persistent migraines, syncope, seizures, tremors and tingling, myalgia, locomotor abnormalities, psychotic symptoms and cognitive deficits) is a serious concern in light of Tomljenovic and Shaws findings. Finally, there was clear evidence of brain hemorrhages in both cases which further demonstrated that a serious injury to the cerebral vasculature occurred. For the average medical consumer, this evidence suggests that the antibodies produced in response to vaccination with the HPV-16-L1 may cause ones immune system to attack its own blood vessels. HPV vaccines containing HPV-16-L1 antigens could therefore pose an inherent risk for triggering potentially fatal autoimmune vasculopathies. There is little doubt that HPV vaccines are unsafe for some individuals. Who those individuals are and why they are more susceptible to serious adverse reactions than others remains unknown. More studies must be conducted to answer these questions. The article by Drs. Chris Shaw and Lucija Tomljenovic entitled Death after qHPV vaccination: causal or coincidental, published in Pharmaceutical Regulatory Affairs today provides evidence of a biologically plausible mechanism of action linking a particular vaccine to serious adverse outcomes, perhaps for the first time in history. Although this study may not conclusively prove causality, it seriously demonstrates the need for additional investigation. (Access entire article here.) When reading this case study, one must understand the findings should be viewed with caution. This is a small sample size and there were no control samples available. However, the marked resemblance between the two cases strongly supports the present conclusions. It is important to note that activation of the antibody-dependent complement pathway, as shown in Tomljenovic and Shaws analysis, typically occurs in neurodegenerative diseases which have an underlying immune trigger. This process is not a feature of a normal young brain. Given that the autopsy in both cases revealed no major abnormality (anatomically, microbiologically or toxicologically) that might have been regarded as a potential cause of death; it appears plausible that the antigenic component of the HPV vaccine (HPV-16-L1) was indeed responsible for the fatal inflammation of the blood vessels. Medical consumers need to know: Every vaccine carries some risk of adverse effects. Unlike most medications, vaccines are normally administered to healthy individuals. Therefore, it is all the more critical to identify those individuals who are at risk for serious adverse events after vaccines. We consider ourselves a civilized society. The time has come to stop sacrificing the life and future of anyone for the greater good. The time has come to admit vaccine injuries occur, find out why and cure those already affected. Anything less is neither responsible, nor ethical. This article first appeared at SaneVax Here: linkwithin_text=Related Articles:

1	Saying it was the furthest thing from his mind when he clocked in each day at the Northwestern Steel and Wire factory in the 1950s, retired laborer Henry Mitchell, 84, told reporters Monday that he had absolutely no idea his earnings from six decades ago would have to support the next three generations of his family. Back then, I knew I needed the money I was making on the production line to feed and clothe my kids, but I really had no clue that my grandkids and even their kids would still rely on it all these years later, said Mitchell, noting that, had he realized his wages operating a metal rolling machine during the middle of the previous century would eventually be called upon to provide for 11 separate family members, he would have done a better job budgeting his weekly salary of $65. At this point, Ive pretty much run through my savings paying off my sons mortgage. And, no matter how I cut it, my pension dollars just arent going to stretch much farther, not with [grandchildren] Tom and Karen still out of work and five great-grandchildren who will one day need to go to college. Boy, I wish Id gotten that promotion to furnace operator sooner. Mitchell then lamented to reporters that things could have been better for his descendants if only he hadnt taken his wife on that expensive cross-country honeymoon railroad trip in 1951. 
1	As pre-production continues on the third installment of the action franchise, sources confirmed Monday that the cast of Expendables 3 has asked to be paid solely in steroids and slabs of raw meat. Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the rest of the actors have all requested a minimum of 120 testosterone injections and eight full racks of bloody bison ribs per day of filming, said executive producer Robert Earl, adding that, should their demands be met, the cast will make 3,150,000 pounds of anabolic steroids, HGH, and ground chuck for appearing in the movie. And if the film does well, they could earn a good amount of raw lamb, T-bone steaks, and full, uncooked pigs on the back end. After an earlier contract dispute, Dolph Lundgren has signed on to reprise his role as Gunnar Jensen, with his representatives saying that the studio has agreed to compensate the actor by giving him 15 living cows that Lundgren plans to eat from the inside out.

'The Navy will begin retrofitting all destroyers, supercarriers, and nuclear submarines with the new sound immediately,' said chief of naval operations Admiral Gary Roughead, who described the sound as 'like a metallic-y sonar blip, but kind of loud like a torpedo siren.' 'We are extremely proud to continue the fine naval tradition of cool, important-sounding noises.' Roughead refused to go into detail about the technical specifications of the new noise, saying only that its sound signifies the imminent death of everyone aboard. 
3	No, John Kerry Doesnt Want To Negotiate With AssadBrandon Turbeville While the chorus of the usual suspects of Neo-Con rightwing warmongers and Humanitarian Bomber/R2P leftists erupted in anger at the very thought of the United States inching away from total war in Syria, other commentators and analysts erupted for joy at what they saw as the US State Department tacitly admitting that they had lost the war and that they were going to be forced to accept Assad as the legitimate Syrian leader. Both sides of the issue could largely agree the remarks meant that the United States was coming to terms that Assad had outlasted the attempts of the US to oust him. Unfortunately, both sides were completely wrong as only a further reading of any mainstream article would have demonstrated. Kerrys statements came as he spoke to Margaret Brennan of Face the Nation. Kerry stated, KERRY: We are working very hard with other interested parties to see if we can reignite a diplomatic outcome. Why? Because everybody agrees there is no military solution. There is only a political solution. But to get the Assad regime to negotiate, were going to have to make it clear to him that there is a determination by everybody to seek that political outcome and change his calculation about negotiating. Thats under way right now. Andand I am convinced that with the efforts of our allies and others, there will be increased pressure on Assad. BRENNAN: And youd be willing to negotiate with him? KERRY: Well, we have to negotiate in the end. Immediately after the remarks, the mainstream Western Press went into overdrive suggesting that John Kerry and the United States were making concessions to Assad. With headlines like Kerry Willing To Talk To Assad To Stem Violence In Syria from PBS, Kerry: US Will Have To Recognize Syrian Dictator Assad State Department Walks Back Assertion, from Breitbart, and U.S. Will Negotiate With Assad, says Kerry, on 4th Anniversary of Syrian Civil War from the IB Times, one could scarcely blame the general public from seeing Kerrys statement as anything but a change of policy. Unfortunately, much of the alternative media simply followed suit and reported largely the same information but from a perspective of surprise and satisfaction at the possibility of war avoidance. But one need only read Kerrys statement further to see that war avoidance is most certainly not the case. Skull and Bones John Kerry never stated that the United States must recognize Assad as the legitimate leader of Syria, nor did he suggest that the U.S. is backing away on their strategy of destabilization and proxy invasion. What Kerry said is what Kerry has been saying all along Assad must go. Note that Kerry also stated the United States would be willing to negotiate with Assads government if hes ready to have a serious negotiation about the implementation of Geneva I, the agreement reached by an international group of governments in 2012 that sought to force a political transition with Assad stepping down. Shortly after the howl of the war hawks began to reach fever pitch, the State Department was forced to wheel out its favorite Humanitarian Bombers and leftist Responsibility to Protect spokeswomen to reassure the more frothing warmongers that the United States was in no way backing off its proxy invasion and destabilization campaign. State Department Spokeswoman Jen Psaki stated that As we have long said, Assad must go and be replaced through a negotiated political transition that is representative of the Syrian people. Deputy Spokeswoman Marie Harf also released a statement attempting to clear up Kerrys comments by pointing out that U.S. policy towards Syria has not changed and that Assad himself would never be part of any negotiations. On March 17, top U.S. Envoy and ISIS Czar General John Allen told Turkish officials that the U.S. does want a negotiated peace settlement in Syria but one that excludes President Assad. Statements from the US Embassy in Ankara make this position clear. As Reuters reports, General Allen reiterated that the United States position on Assad has not changed, the U.S. embassy in Ankara said in a statement after Allen, the special envoy responsible for building the anti-Islamic State coalition, held talks in Ankara. The United States believes that he has lost all legitimacy to govern, that conditions in Syriaunder his rule have led to the rise of ISIL (Islamic State) and other terrorist groups, and that we continue to seek a negotiated political outcome to the Syrian conflict that does not in the end include Assad. Allen held constructive talks with Turkish foreign ministry undersecretary Feridun Sinirlioglu late on Tuesday and welcomed Turkeys support in the training of vetted members of Syrias opposition, the statement said. In addition to Allens statements, it is important to point out that Kerrys statement referred to his being convinced that there will be increased pressure on Assad to step down. He also said that It may require that there be increased pressure on him of various kinds in order to do that. Weve made it very clear to people that we are looking at increased steps that can help bring about that pressure. This pressure can take a variety of means the continued arming, funding, training, and directing of al-Qaeda/ISIS terrorists, political pressure, and further US led bombing efforts against Syrian infrastructure all of which the United States is currently engaged in. Note, however, that, as recent as March 5, Kerry referenced the possibility that military pressure may be needed to oust Assad. Kerry said that, Ultimately a combination of diplomacy and pressure will be needed to bring about a political transition. Military pressure particularly may be necessary given President Assads reluctance to negotiate seriously. Hes lost any semblance of legitimacy, but we have no higher priority than disrupting and defeating Daesh and other terror networks. Kerry made these statements in Saudi Arabias Riyadh Air Base at a meeting of Gulf Foreign ministers. Make no mistake, the United States is not interested in peaceful settlements unless the settlement is total capitulation of its enemies. John Kerrys statements are not legitimizing Assad as the rightful Syrian leader nor are they an overture for peace. They are an affirmation of the Wests attack on Assad and Syria and it is a statement that, if nothing else, reaffirms the stance that the U.S. and NATO have had since the beginning of the crisis.

Henneberg told reporters that her husband supported her decision to leave something she loves, for something she loves more. The former reporter caused quite the stir when she said that while she doesnt judge working mothers, her life has fallen into a better balance since she left her prestigious position. What do you think of Hennebergs decision? Do you support her desire to spend more time with her family? 
3	The Worlds Most Expensive Thing Its British, a Financial Disaster And Will Affect Us AllBy Graham Vanbergen This power station has been described as the most expensive single thing on earth, although other power projects such as energy ports come even more expensive. Originally budgeted to cost around 14 billion three years ago, then 18 billion last year and revised up to nearly22 billion this year. The EU Commission has estimated its final cost to be 24 billion. Electricit de France or EDF the French state owned energy company is the biggest stakeholder. The project to build this power station is more expensive than the entire market capitalisation value of EDF and is effectively one huge gamble, and a gamble in more ways than one. The Financial Times reported that the French Economy Minister Emmanuel Macron said that he had every confidence that a final investment decision would be made rapidly after a consultation with the central works committee of EDF. He also happened to point out that EDF would not guarantee delivery date of 2025 already estimated to be 8 years behind delivery date. In the same articletheFrench unions have sought a delay of two to three years to the scheme, after EDFs chief financial officer quit earlier this year, warning that the large investment could bring down the state-owned utility. Trade union representatives hold six of the 18 seats on EDFs board and have openly stated, The trade unions are unlikely to give their blessing to the project in its current state. The EDF chief executive Vincent de Rivaz also admitted toMPs that he did not know when a final decision on the project would be made. The British government for their part have made guarantees on the price of energy output once operational. That price is currently a guarantee worth 300 per cent of current wholesale energy prices for the following 35 years and by the time of delivery, this could easily have escalated to 400 or 500 per cent as alternative power sources continue to get more cost effective. Britains power needs have declined 13 per cent in the last ten years, a trend that looks set to continue all over Europe. Angus MacNeil, chair of the energy committee, said it represented spectacularly bad value for bill payers in the UK. In the meantime, Moodys the rating agency, has downgraded EDF not because of the financial strain the project is putting on the company butbecause the technology being used in the project has never been proven to work at all ever anywhere. Not one power station, anywhere in the world uses this technology and two currently under construction in France and Finland have dramatically failed. This is highlighted in aGuardian report ofMarch this year, EDF has been building a European pressurised reactor (EPR) plant in Normandy, France. The latest EPR has been dreamed up by EDF in conjunction with its engineering partner Areva.It was meant to be a showcase to the world, allowing EDF and Areva to market and build these plants globally, not least at Hinkley in Somerset. But Normandyhas turned into a nightmare project with endless delays, regulatory problems and cost overruns.The situation has been made worse by another scheme involving EPRs at Olkiluoto in Finland. This too has turned into a huge public relations embarrassment. It has been plagued with contract disputes, broken budgets and is 10 years behind schedule. However, it appears the situation has just got much worse than that as the nuclear reactor manufacturer Areva has in fact gone bankrupt and the French government isnow forcing EDF to take it over adding even more financial woes to the ever more stricken energy firm. The share price for EDF has collapsed 80 per cent over recent years presenting its own problems. This was not helpedby RBC Capital Markets who said: To proceed with Hinkley Point C at this juncture would be verging on insanity. In a desperate attempt to help EDFs financial position, ithas in turn said it is willing to sell a bundle of 6bn worth of assets to raise cash. And who turned out to be the only buyer the French state. This hascaused energy companies from Austria, Luxembourg and Germany to threaten legal challenges as itis tantamount to unlawfulstate aid according to EU rules. The Chinese have been beckoned as investor of last resort and you might wonder why they would want to be involved anyway in such a disaster. Well, for their investment, expected to be worth up to one third of the total project cost they want guarantees as well. However, they want payment even if the project fails, now or in the future, for whatever reason, including if no power is generated ever. And the British government on behalf of the taxpayer, has decided to give those guarantees. You would think that this was all bad enough. Not so! It appears that nuclear power stations around the world have been falsifying safety certificates and documents for nuclear reactor components for some time now. In fact, of the 400 falsified certificates known to have been given to critical reactor components, 50 are still in operation, a risk that humanity should not be taking given the damage that Fukushima is currently doing to Japan and the Pacific Ocean. If history and building nuclear reactors is anything to go by, a sane personmight think to steer clear. America is the worlds largest producer of nuclear energy with 99 power stations in operation producing one quarter of energy needs. For 75 of those nuclear power reactors built, cost overruns averaged 207 percent. Over-commitment to nuclear power brought about the financial collapse of the Washington Public Power Supply System, a public agency which undertook to build five large nuclear power plants. A decade later, cost overruns and delays, along with a slowing of electricity demand growth, led to cancellation of two WPPSS plants and a construction halt on two others. Moreover, WPPSS defaulted on $2.25 billion of municipal bonds, which is still the largest municipal bond default in U.S. history. The court case that followed took nearly a decade to resolve. To make matters worse, of the 253 nuclear power reactors originally ordered in the United States from 1953 to 2008, 48 percent were cancelled, 11 percent were prematurely shut down, 14 percent experienced at least a one-year-or-more outage, and only 27 percent are operating without having a year-plus outage. Thus, only about one fourth of those ordered, or about half of those completed, are still operating and have proved relatively reliable. Many are now considered at high risk fromacts of terrorism. Again, history should teach us some lessons, especially of untried, untested and unknown technology in this particular industry. One of the greatest cover-ups of our time is the disaster at Chernobyl and Fukushima. The former has already killed one million and will continue killing many moreso for some time yet, the latter has the potential to eclipse even Chernobyl as it is three times in scale according to the foremost recognised expert in this area, Dr Helen Caldecott. Once again, history helps to build a graphic picture of this scandal laden industry. From Global Research Thirty-five years ago, Dale G. Bridenbaugh and two of his colleagues at General Electric resigned from their jobs after becoming increasingly convinced that the nuclear reactor design they were reviewing (For the Fukushima plant) the Mark 1 was so flawed it could lead to a devastating accident.Questions persisted for decades about the ability of the Mark 1 to handle the immense pressures that would result if the reactor lost cooling power, and today that design is being put to the ultimate test in Japan. Five of the six reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant, which has been wracked since Fridays (March 2011) earthquake with explosions and radiation leaks, are Mark 1s. The Nuclear Corruption report from Nautilus Institute tells us something else. Fukushima will teach many lessons, but one that does not seem to have sunk in yet is the global link between nuclear power and corruption. There is plenty of evidence that the corruption, collusion and nepotism that characterized the Japanese nuclear village contributed to what former Japanese PM Kan Naoto called the myth of nuclear safety in his country. Yet, this is far from being something peculiar to Japan with its squirrelly politics and industry-regulator-politics with feet happily inter-twined under the kotatsu. Asideof the enormous costs of construction is decommissioning, which for this plant is unknown but certainly running into the billions. This is a 100 per cent liability cost to the British taxpayer. In addition, one of the major costs is the safe disposal of highly radioactive waste, which will never be safe and most of which is held in temporary storage at the Sellafield reprocessing facility in Cumbria. Home to the most hazardous industrial building in western Europe according to George Beveridge, Sellafields deputy managing director. It houses an ageing cooling pond whose contents is not entirely known, even to the managers at the site, being a collection of spent fuel rods and other reactor parts from Britains earliest experimentsinto nuclear power. The contents of this site is not known and is too radioactive to be properlyinvestigated as the technology does exist to do so. Cleanup of this site would also run into billions, again, a number that is actually unknown. The British government is in effect guaranteeingenormous profits for foreign state organisations and underwriting huge losses on unproven dangerous technology that has so far failed, has a history of being massively over-budget, way behind target delivery by at least a decade and presents the country with a strategic threat both in terms of energy security and the wellbeing of its people. Knowing all of the above, there is no logic or sense for authorising the building of the worlds most expensivething unless of course theres something in it forthe decision makers. Graham Vanbergen writes for truepublica.org.uk For all of us who protested nuclear power as a choice during the past 50+ years, and for anyone who ever looks around at the world rather than just at their personal device (phone, tablet, etc.), to have confirmation that so many safety certifications are false while people are still trying to build a Safe nuclear power plant, it sure looks like we chose to intentionally destroy the Earth. The Fukushima disaster has destroyed 1/3 of the Pacific Ocean. The millions of tons of floating plastic and discarded nets have destroyed another 1/3 of the Pacific. The English fought off their opponents in France for hundreds of years, and now France will destroy itself as it destroys the English with yet another disastrous nuclear power plant meant to bankrupt France and England for the next 100 years. Where will they evacuate all of those who will need to be removed from these toxic areas? To rely on an energy company that has already shown total failure in Normandy and Finland is moronic. Drive around England, folks, there are nuclear power plants all over the place, and along every primary river. The nuclear power industry is inept, incompetent and out of their depth. They cannot fix minor problems much less major problems. A bunch of selfish, short-sighted politicians got paid off to rubber stamp the installation of these worthless disasters. There has never ever been any accountability where nuclear energy is concerned. Not one greedy, corrupt politician or business executive has been held accountable. Not one greedy, corrupt scientist has been held accountable. The best that happens is a few people who know theyd never sleep again have resigned, and everyone else closed the book on their serious concerns and moved on. We need to stop handing our futures to the inept morons who make their decisions on our behalf based on the pay offs theyll get. We need to stop handing our futures to the greedy executives that cant think beyond their financial needs this month, ie. the expensive cars, multiple vacation homes, outrageous conventions, expensive underaged prostitutes, fancy parties, etc. I dont know much but it seems that this kind of money would be better off developing solar or wind or geo thermal. It is all thought out as this will be twinned with Japanese Fukushima that is making the World Radio Active though am not sure which Radio Programs that I will tune into? World leadership is decidedly weak, however, it does have one plus in its corner and that is Incredible incompetence. Their future is sealed in a casket of stupidity. Fools rush in, where angels fear to tread. They shall reap what they have sown. Clean burn coal anyone? China is going this way, and getting cleaner all the time.

3	What is Really Going on in Syria?By True Story 
3	US-Armed Syrian Opposition Surrenders to Al Qaeda?Ulson Gunnar Al Qaeda Morphs into ISIS In late September, just in time to aid the US in its fumbling justification for bombing Syria, terrorists allegedly beheaded a French tourist kidnapped in the North African nation of Algeria. The timing, as with previous ISIS executions, was impeccable, lending maximum propaganda value, not to the terrorist organization, but to the United States which has utilized each grisly murder as a means for direct and continued military intervention on both sides of the Syrian-Iraqi border. The BBC in their article, French hostage Herve Gourdel beheaded in Algeria, would report that: The beheading, the spokesman says, is to avenge the victims in Algeria and support the caliphate proclaimed by IS in Iraq and Syria. Jund al-Khilafa (Soldiers of the Caliphate) pledged allegiance to IS on 14 September. Until then it had been known as part of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), which grew out of an Algerian militant group and is now active across North and parts of West Africa. Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, was directly associated with terrorist groups armed and backed by NATO in the 2011 invasion and bombardment of Libya in efforts to overthrow the government of Muammar Qaddafi in Tripoli. In a 2007 West Point Combating Terrorism Center (CTC) report and a 2011 CTC report, Are Islamist Extremists Fighting Among Libyas Rebels?, AQIM is specifically mentioned as working closely with the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) and it was predicted most notably by geopolitical analyst Dr. Webster Tarpley, that even before NATO began dropping bombs on Libya that by doing so, they would be thrusting not only LIFG into power, but empowering a regional network of extremists, including AQIM. AQIMs presence shortly thereafter in northern Mali, flush with weapons from Libya and a new sense of purpose as well as the fact that AQIM continues to menace the region years later is the complete fulfillment of this prediction. Both AQIM and LIFG are listed by the US State Department as foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) but were in fact leading the fight against the Libyan government in 2011 with NATO weapons and air support. It would be France itself that would drop weapons into the country illegally to bolster their fighting capabilities during the conflict, and clearly, after the conflict both inside Libyas borders and beyond them. In 2011, the Guardian would report in its article, Nato reviews Libya campaign after France admits arming rebels, that: Nato is reviewing the conduct of its military campaign in Libya after France admitted arming rebel fighters in apparent defiance of the UN mandate. Besides the propaganda value of the September execution by AQIM terrorists now operating under the ISIS banner, the atrocity illustrates perfectly that ISIS itself is not a new threat, but rather a very old and familiar threat simply repackaged and marketed anew. ISIS is clearly a conglomeration of existing terrorist organizations apparently from as far as North Africa to the Caucasus Mountains of southern Russia and everything in between. In addition to AQIM, Al Nusra and many other extremist factions either allied with or fighting alongside what the US calls the Syrian opposition, are also affiliated with and fighting in support of ISIS. This is basically what Al Qaeda was, before what can only be described as a marketing gimmick ISIS was coined. US Arms Extremists Openly Affiliated with Al Qaeda/ISIS Almost daily reports surface of ISIS obtaining weapon systems first handed over by the US and its allies to this Syrian opposition. The most recent were anti-tank missiles supplied to this opposition by the United States. The International Business Times would claim in its article, Syria: Al-Nusra Jihadists Capture US TOW Anti-Tank Missiles from Moderate Rebels, that: Weaponry supplied by the US to moderate Syrian rebels was feared to have fallen into the hands of jihadist militants affiliated to al-Qaida after clashes between rival groups. Islamist fighters with Jabhat al-Nusra seized control of large swathes of land in Jabal al-Zawiya, Idlib province, at the weekend, routing the US-backed groups the Syrian Revolutionaries Front (SFR) and Harakat Hazm, activists said. Washington relied on SFR and Harakat Hazm to counter Isis (Islamic State) militants on the ground in Syria, complementing its air strikes. This, however, is completely false. It was only in September that the Daily Beast would report in its article, Al Qaeda Plotters in Syria Went Dark, U.S. Spies Say, that rebels armed by the United States, and in particular with the above mentioned anti-tank missiles, condemned US airstrikes on ISIS and Al Nusra. The Daily Beast would claim: One Syrian rebel group supported in the past by the United States condemned the air strikes on Tuesday. Harakat Hazm, a rebel group that received a shipment of U.S. anti-tank weapons in the spring, called the airstrikes an attack on national sovereignty and charged that foreign led attacks only strengthen the Assad regime.The statement comes from a document, purportedly from the group, that has circulated online and was posted in English translation from a Twitter account called Syria Conflict Monitor. Several Syria experts, including the Brookings Doha Centers Charles Lister, believe the document to be authentic. Before the official statement, there were signs that Harakat Hazm was making alliances in Syria that could conflict with its role as a U.S. partner. In early Septemeber a Harakat Hazm official told a reporter for the L.A. Times: Inside Syria, we became labeled as secularists and feared Nusra Front was going to battle usBut Nusra doesnt fight us, we actually fight alongside them. We like Nusra. Another falsehood emerging is why the weapons were handed over to this group in the first place. Originally, the missiles were given to the rebels to fight the Syrian government not ISIS terrorists, as mentioned by NPR in April of 2014. Groups the US was arming fought alongside, if not directly under, the banner of Al Qaeda. Claims now that Harakat Hazm surrendered to US State Department-listed FTO Al Nusra are clearly lies. It is only a matter of time before the claim the rebels surrendered to Al Nusra becomes Al Nusra surrendered to ISIS. The question will then be, how will the US manipulate the narrative once all that is left is Al Nusra, and it still refuses to effectively neutralize the organization and sanction its sponsors abroad. Ulson Gunnar, a New York-based geopolitical analyst and writer, especially for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook, where this first appeared. 
2	Obama Rushed To The Hospital For Acid Reflux The status of President Obamas health has been in question for some time now. Now, doctors from the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland have determined that Obama is suffering from acid reflux. The results came after Obama underwent a CT scan for a chronic sore throat. Obama was at the hospital for around half an hour before he was released. Doctors conducted a fiber optic exam by an ear, nose and throat specialist from Fort Belvoir Medical Center in Northern Virginia. He was supervised by Dr. Ronny L. Jackson, Obamas own physician. Jackson determined that the exam revealed soft tissue swelling and that further evaluation with a routine CT scan was prudent. The presidents symptoms are consistent with soft tissue inflammation related to acid reflux and will be treated accordingly, Jackson told reporters. Experts have determined that acid reflux is most typically caused by stress, aggravation, and a poor diet. Obama will likely be told to stay away from certain foods and regularly take heartburn medication. So why did Obama decided to Josh to the golf course? Were guessing it had something to do with poor weather on the golf course, but White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest claimed that the test is a matter of convenience for the president, not a matter of urgency. What do you think of the news? 
3	USDA-Approved Agent Orange: Its Coming to a Farm Near YouDaisy Luther Our benevolent agricultural guardians at the USDA have announced that they are allowing the introduction of new corn and soybean seeds that have been designed specifically to withstand a dousing with 2,4-D, a key ingredient in the infamously deadly Agent Orange. Now we get to be the unwilling guinea pigs while USDA-approved test fields are planted. It seems that our government did not learn its lesson from the millions of people gruesomely affected by the ingredients of Agent Orange the first time around. Agent Orange, you may recall, was brought to wartime Vietnam by the evil masterminds at Dow and Monsanto. American forces sprayed it all over the countryside of Vietnam from 1961 to 1971. Its purpose was to defoliate trees and shrubs that were providing cover to enemy forces, and to kill food crops that were providing sustenance. The environment was not the only thing affected. Exposure to Agent Orange resulted in five horrible illness in those exposed: soft-tissue sarcoma, non-Hodgkins lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (including hairy-cell leukemia), Hodgkins disease, and chloracne. (source) Whats even worse is that the damage may not be limited to those directly exposed it can affect offspring even up to 3rd and 4th generations. Over a million US veterans were also exposed: In 2010, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs provided $16.2 billion in compensation to 1,095,473 Vietnam-era veterans.[i] The agency does not relate these service-connected benefit figures directly to Agent Orange/dioxin exposure or to any other possible cause of illness, nor does it provide data on total compensation for the years since the war ended. Thousands of U.S. veterans returning from Vietnam reported health problems almost immediately and rapidly associated them with Agent Orange/dioxin exposure. Controversy over these assertions began just as fast, and continues now. Many questions remain: Whether (and how to test whether) the illnesses of veterans and their offspring are related to Agent Orange and other herbicide exposure; Levels of dioxin present in the chemicals; The accuracy of data about veterans exposure; Levels of corporate, military and government awareness of dioxins presence; Fixing of responsibility for the contaminants presence and liability for its damages; Details of research protocols, accuracy of findings and reliability of interpretations; and Decisions on who should pay what to whom for which possible courses of remedial action. This blame game has blocked action in both the U.S. and Vietnam, needlessly prolonging the suffering of millions of U.S. veterans and Vietnamese. (source) And now, the USDA, in all of their infinite wisdom, intends to expose Americans to one of the deadly ingredients via our food supply. Corn and soybeans are present in some form in up to 90% of the processed foods available today. So not only will we be exposed to the effects environmentally, anyone who eats processed food will be directly consuming it. MmmmCorn with Agent Orange SauceYummy. Some scientist argue that 2,4-D is not responsible for the horrible human toll extracted by Agent Orange, while others claim the weed-killer is deadly. According to the Associated Press, scientists dont believe 2,4-D to be responsible for health complications caused by Agent Orange, and have instead pinpointed the ingredient 2,4,5-T banned by the EPA in 1985 as the culprit. Previous findings by the EPA have also declared the weed killer safe to use, but other groups arent as confident. As RT reported in the past, the Natural Resources Defense Council has linked 2,4-D to cases of cancer, genetic mutations and more. In addition the impact on humans, the Save Our Crops Coalition believes it will be extremely difficult to contain the application of the herbicide to a particular area. These herbicides have been known to drift and volatilize to cause damage to plants over ten miles away from the point of application, the coalition claimed. (source) Proven in the island petri dish of Molokai, the danger of GMO crops is not limited to the consumption of those foods. The farming methods themselves cause an epidemic of deadly health problems to those near the fields, including cancer, respiratory illness, and horrible skin disorders. The EPA review of these experimental new seeds will occur over the next few months, and if approved (and we all know it will be since the EPA is as much of a sell-out as the USDA) farmers across the country will then be able to plant the new seeds douse the fields with 2,4-D throughout the growing season.

3	Global Recession? The Canadian Economy Shrinks At The Fastest Pace Since The Last Financial CrisisBy Michael Snyder The recent drop in GDP was larger than analysts had projected, but not far off the predicted 1.5% loss. [The figure] could have been worse, given the hit from the wildfire, and clearly confirms the disappointing downward trend in exports over the last few months, said Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets. In May, wildfires devastated the parts of northern Alberta where much of Canadas oil and natural gas is produced. For many years, high oil prices and booming exports enabled the Canadian economy to significantly outperform the U.S. economy. But now conditions have changed dramatically, and all of the economic bubbles up in Canada are starting to burst. This includes the housing bubble, as we have seen home sales in the hottest markets such as Vancouver drop through the floor late in the summer. In fact, it is being reported that home sales during the first two weeks of August in British Columbia were down a whopping51 percent on a year-over-year basis. Do you remember the housing bubble in the U.S. that helped fuel the last financial crisis? Well, a very similar bubble is now bursting up in Canada, and some investors have positioned themselves to make a tremendous amount of money when the whole thing comes violently crashing down. The following comesfrom Wolf Richter I think its a money laundering-induced market, he said as we reported at the time. Where the local politicians, or the BC Liberals, are kept or in cahoots with the real estate brokers, developers, lawyers, that angle. And they have sought Chinese money to keep the market propped up and it wont last, he said. China has capital controls on, and Vancouver has become the money laundering mecca of either the world or North America, and something is going to change and change drastically. If the price of oil does not rebound in a major way, the Canadian economy is going to continue to deeply struggle. Meanwhile, one of the biggest economies in Africa is also shrinking. Nigeria is yet another oil-dependent economy that has fallen on really hard times, and during the latest quarter their GDP shrunkby 2.06 percent on an annualized basis Nigeria has slipped into recession, with the latest growth figures showing the economy contracted 2.06% between April and June. The country has now seen two consecutive quarters of declining growth, the usual definition of recession. Its vital oil industry has been hit by weaker global prices, according to the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics (NBS). There are so many signs that indicate that the global economy has entered a new major downturn. Yes, the U.S. is doing better than almost everyone else for the moment, but this will not last indefinitely. Our planet is more interconnected than ever before, and just as we saw in 2008, big trouble on one side of the globe quickly affects the other side. Today we also learned that the 7th largest container shipping company in the entire worldhas completely imploded. Total global trade has been declining for quite some time now, and it was inevitable that this sort of thing would start happening After years of relentless decline in the Baltic Dry index today the largest casualty finally emerged on Wednesday when South Koreas Hanjin Shipping, the countrys largest shipping firm and the worlds seventh-biggest container carrier, filed for court receivership after losing the support of its banks, leaving its assets frozen as ports from China to Spain denied access to its vessels. Over in Europe, an emerging banking crisis continues to simmer just under the surface. Most Americans are completely oblivious to the fact that major global financial problems could be just around the corner, butCNBC is reporting that banks over in Europe are preparing for an economic nuclear winter situation European banks, in particular, have had a very tough six months as the shock and volatility around Brexit sent banking stocks south. Major European banks like Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse saw their shares in free-fall after the referendums results were announced. In the U.K., RBS was the worst-hit, with its shares plunging by more than 30 percent since June 24. The current uncertainty over when the U.K. will start the process of quitting the EU has banks on tenterhooks. But a source told CNBC that banks are preparing for an economic nuclear winter situation. Speaking on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the topic, a source from a major investment bank told CNBC that financial services firms have put together a strategy in place that takes into account the worst-case scenario that could happen by the end of this year. So precisely what would an economic nuclear winter look like? I dont know, but it certainly does not sound good. We should be thankful that things have been as calm and stable as they have been so far in 2016, but nobody should be fooled into thinking that our problems have been fixed. The truth is that the global debt bubble is at an all-time high, the banks are being more reckless and are more vulnerable than ever before, and troubling economic numbers continue to pour in from all over the planet. The stage is certainly set for the next major global economic crisis, and it isnt going to take much to push the world over the edge.

2	White Police Chief Looses It And Tells The TRUTH About Black Crime [VIDEO] Police Chief Edward Flynn of Milwaukee fired back after his law enforcement agency came under fire by black activists. Following a shooting involving one of his officers that resulted in the death of a black man named Donte Hamilton, Flynn has been accused of being careless and not taking the incident seriously. The media and community were quick to accuse Flynns unit of targeting blacks, although the facts show that his officer was in danger and defending himself. Hamilton had taken a police baton and was assaulting the responding officer. At a recent police commission meeting, anti-police protesters specifically targeted Flynn for being uncaring. They also mocked him for being on his cell phone for a portion of the meeting. That statement was particularly perturbing, given that Flynn was on the phone being notified about a drive-by shooting that took the life of a 5-year-old girl. I was on my phone, thats true, Flynn said, in defense of himself. I was following developments with a 5-year-old little girl, sitting on her dads lap who just got shot in the head by a drive by shooting. If some of the people here gave a good ******* about the victimization of people in this community by crime, Id take some of their invective more seriously. The greatest racial disparity in the city of Milwaukee is getting shoot and killed, he continued. 80 percent of my homicide victims every year are African American. 80 percent of our aggravated assault victims are African American. Flynn then went on to argue that the focus on police officers is just a tactic to ignore the real crime that is taking place every day in the community. This city is at risk all right, he concluded. But its not because men and women in blue risk their lives protecting it. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you support Flynn? Did he sum up the issues perfectly? 
1	WASHINGTON, DCResponding to 'a possible threat of terror and fright,' Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced Monday that trick-or-treaters will be subject to random bag searches this Halloween season. Police prepare for a long and spooky night. 'Individuals concealing their identities through clever disguise, and under cover of night, may attempt to use the unspecified threat of 'tricks' to extort 'treats' from unsuspecting victims,' Chertoff said. 'Such scare tactics may have been tolerated in the past, but they will not be allowed to continue this Halloween.' While he would not elaborate on the specific threat, Chertoff said his office had 'heard a couple spooky tales,' and indicated that there was good reason to believe that Americans face 'a very ghoulish scenario' this October. 'We have done and will continue to do everything we can to protect citizens from those who would play on our fears,' a haunted Chertoff said. 'Nevertheless, Americans are advised to be in a state of readiness.' National Guard troops and local police are being stationed at checkpoints in residential neighborhoods to seize the contents of any paper bags, pillowcases, plastic pumpkins, or other receptacles. Additionally, candy-sniffing dogs will be posted at regular intervals to locate and devour suspicious items. Local, county, and state officials have been placed on orange alert, with strict orders to confiscate and investigate bags containing Bit-O-Honey, Snickers, Baby Ruth, Twix, Butterfingers, Mr. Goodbar, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, gum, and any and all forms of taffy. Chertoff discusses possible perpetrators of Halloween mischief. Chertoff asked Washington citizens for their assistance, and he outlined steps that the average citizen should take to aid in the war on fright. The DHS guidelines encourage parents to report any suspicious neighbors who create potentially spooky yard displays, especially those that include candle-illuminated pumpkin faces, skeletons in windows or doorways, or repeating tape loops of werewolf howling. Chertoff recommended that law-enforcement authorities be granted sweeping new powers to ensure security, including mandatory street-corner identity checks for suspects wearing clothing designed to conceal facial features or otherwise obscure ready personal identification. Additionally, local police have been ordered to detain any individuals appearing to be ghosts, goblins, witches, or other characters designed to evoke fear. Critics of the warning say that the DHS is merely sowing seeds of unease for political reasons, pointing out that the organization has yet to present any real evidence of the threat. 'This is yet another misguided and unfair example of profiling by our nation's law enforcement,' said ACLU spokesperson Marilee McInnis. 'It's doubtful that many G.I. Joes will be searched, but Aladdins, genies, and belly dancers should expect a huge crimp in their Halloween fun.'

As a critical thinker, I use some of these litmuses without conscious effort. Intentionally presenting them is a great Idea. I teach my sons to critically examine everything to discover Truth. I am going to pass this article along to others, as I consider critical thinking to be of grave importance for everyone. The scripture warns that in the last days there will be an apparent onslaught of deception and I recommend everyone use critical analysis of the scriptures (KJV Holy Bible). It passes every test with flying colors;) But when you use these techniques to analyze the Not-For-Prophet Corporations, they fail horribly, which is why I reject these religious organizations, but cling to the Words of Truth that God Himself has preserved from generation to generation! The Central theme. Jesus Christ the Lord This could be appropriately titled 10 Most Critical Things To Consider When Consuming Information. (Not just mainstream News) The vast number of Alternative News sites that I have critically looked into have proven to be over-sensationalization of stories mingled with plain lies to perpetuate shock, fear, indignation, violent anarchy, etc 
1	Gas and oil stock trader Cooper Manning, older brother of Peyton and Eli Manning, turned in an MVP-level performance for his employer, energy research firm Howard Weil, Labouisse and Friedrichs, Inc., Tuesday. 'With time running out in the fourth quarter, I knew the only way we were going to come out on top was to pass on drill rig operator Nabors Industries, call a last-second audible, and put our faith in blue-chipper USA Superior Energy Holdings,' an excited, champagne-drenched Manning told reporters on the trading floor after the final seconds ticked away and the closing bell officially sounded. 'But I can't take all the credit. Without Howard [Weil's] clutch third-quarter decision to invest in the Bristow Group, we wouldn't even be standing here right now.' Manning added that, though this is the type of day a professional oil and gas trader dreams of, he has no plans to rest on his laurels and will be back at work tomorrow in hopes of a repeat.

'Methamphetamines, you are the substance that keeps our nation's truckers 'speed'-ing along to their appointed destinations,' NTA president Larry Herrick said. 'Without you, American trucking would not be the world leader it is today.' Herrick then downed a fistful of pills and climbed into a rig, saying he had to be in Fresno, CA, by sun-up. 
2	Famous NBA Star Smacks Justin Bieber At Hollywood Starbucks Recently, Canadian-born pop star Justin Bieber has been making headlines for his reckless actions. But it seems not everyone is willing to let the young troublemaker off so easy. Police were dispatched in response to an altercation at a Starbucks in West Hollywood, after a barista at a coffee house was confronted by Bieber after refusing to serve the teen sensation because he wasnt wearing a shirt. He came in with no shirt on and his pants hanging down and underwear showing and tried to order a caramel apple machiatto, claims Joey Goldsmith, the barista, I just told him he would have to put a shirt on if he wanted to order. At that point, Bieber snapped and started yelling at the barista, threatening that his bodyguard would kick his ass. Within earshot was LA Clippers player Blake Griffin, who decided to step in. According to witnesses on the scene, Griffin tried to calm Bieber down, but he remained defiant. As a result, Griffin ended up smacking Bieber and knocked him to the floor. He smacked the shit out of him, one witness claims, then I saw Justin stumble out of the door looking like he was crying. 
3	Controversial Free Speech Zones Finally Being Banned From College CampusesBy James Holbrooks Both Arizona bills were signed into law by Gov. Doug Ducey on May 16. House Bill 2548 targets free speech infringement in public squares. HB 2615 eliminates free speech zones altogether andorders those areas to be converted into memorials or monuments. In astatement, Ducey wrote: Part of the university experience is to be able to express diverse views, openly, without fear of retribution or intimidation and to be exposed to other views and perspectives, even if they arent politically correct or popular. The notion of designating areas where students can politically protest has long been sharply criticized as antithetical to the First Amendment. As recently as March of this year, Dr. Charles Kesler prominent conservative professor and senior fellow at the Claremont Institute stated in aninterview that students today are looking for the college to protect them from argumentation, from offense easily taken. From his interview with The Daily Signal: The mantra of student protestors these days is Im offended. And Im offended is very different from saying I disagree. When you say to someone I disagree with you you invite a conversation Im offended means stop talking. In recent years, opponents to free speech zones are finding more and more reasons to celebrate. A little over a year later, in July of 2015, Missouri Governor Jay Nixonsigned the Campus Free Expression Act which designates the outdoor areas of campuses of public institutions of higher education to be traditional public forums making Missouri the second state to adopt such a measure. Now, with the news out of Arizona, three states have chosen to eliminate free speech zones from college campuses. On the other side of the spectrum, whats been happening in Iowa is a good example of how complicated the issue can become. As early as 2009, professors in the Hawkeye State had expressed concern over the impairment of free speech on campuses. In the wake of Iowa State announcing that special zones would be established for political protest, the Iowa State Dailyput questions to professors at neighboring University of Iowa. One associate professor of journalism, Stephen Berry, said that, as a journalist, he would adamantly oppose any limitations on free speech except speech that would cause imminent danger to life or property or violate the Constitutionally protected rights of others. Addressing free speech zones, specifically, he added that he would also be concerned about any restriction on where protesters are allowed to make their voices heard. The issuedidnt go away, and by 2015, the Iowa State student government was being asked to vote forward a bill that would create an additional free speech zone a bill the studentsvoted down in the name of free speech. The seemingly conflicting nature of the student governments actions led to headlineslike Iowa State student leaders vote against free speech, claim they advocate free speech. Last month while Arizona was giving free speech zones the boot Rekha Basu of the Des Moines Register wrote aneditorial outlining the frustration felt by many at a practice that seems so fundamentally at odds with the First Amendment. She opens: There may be no greater paradox than the concept of free-speech zones on college campuses. Not because college students arent sophisticated enough to deal responsibly with their freedom of speech, but because campuses are by definition free-speech zones. Carving out special areas to exercise that right doesnt just undermine the premise; it goes against the purpose of a higher education.

Image credit: Flickr/Newtown grafitti May I draw your attention to the winner? judaism DOT is/the-winner.html Being offended is an emotional response that proves that free speech has taken place much like its counterpart laughter at a comedians use of free speech when telling a joke. Being offended should mean one walks away or changes the channel without censorship. Being offended should not become a judgement of condemnation which denies the option of speaking. as a human response to educating the public to social injustice or educating the public in general The fact that laws are enacted to protect free speech is a sign that we do not live in a democracy. When moderators of comments on these pages censor the texting of free speech they are proving to US the intent of the creators of this website which is to control the expression of communication which is a necessary part of engaging and participating in a democratic form of governance. Every time one of my expressions is moderated and /or censored I realize I do not live in an open society of my peers and must press forward more diligently to get my message out to those who really do want to participate in a a truly individually representative form of government and not the tyranny of the perpetuated old world order. You cannot begin to have a democracy without free speech as this is the reason for the first amendment. this is America, this is all they can do, the gutlessness of their government knows no bounds, as one man calls the in the comment column, which fits them absolutely, so let be AMERICANUS HORRIBILIS, AND BY NO OTHER NAME, Restricting the exercise of speech to zones is unconstitutional. Liberals hate the constitution so they will support so called free speech zones. How can people debate, learn from each other, you cant stifle speech or people will only have one sided views. People get offended everyday. American is a democracy, we have freedom of speech, freedom of expression. Our constitution was what made American the greatest place in the world. You will NEVER satifiy everyone, put everyone has a right to express themselves. Liberals are ruining this country as we can see when the twist the laws and rules of the constitution. The next generation of kids are going to have a rude awaking when they get to the work force, they dont have safe spaces. 
1	Claiming that the franchise is now on the brink of finally achieving something truly great, Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace expressed his confidence Tuesday that the team has the right pieces in place to trade quarterback Jay Cutler. Weve been working toward this for a long time, and were finally in a position to make our shared goal of getting Jay out of Chicago a reality, said Pace, noting that the recent addition of several highly rated draft picks gives the Bears the necessary firepower to convince another team to take on Cutlers contract. Its going to take a lot of hard work and a bit of luck, but I believe we will accomplish what our players and coaching staff have dreamed about these last few years. There are plenty of doubters who think it will never happen, but I can tell you that everyone within the organization is aiming to prove them wrong. Next season, its trade Cutler or bust. Reached for comment, Cutler expressed his willingness to do whatever it takes to help his team by getting the fuck out of Chicago next year. 
2	Obama Issues Revolt Order To Satisfy Offended Muslims Once again demonstrating exactly where his priorities lie, President Obama announced this week that he will be opening a new Muslim outreach office, which will fall under the oversight of his advisor Valerie Jarrett. According to reports, Jarretts new title will be Senior Adviser and Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Engagement. Only five out of thirty employees in the Office of Public Engagement are white males. This appointment is a further extension of this Administrations commitment to Americas tradition of religious pluralism, Jarrett commented in a statement. Were curious how many tax dollars Obama is throwing at this. What do you think of the new office? 
2	Obama Does Something DISTURBING To Marine Who Stood Up To Him... He Needs Your Help Ever since Operation Vigilant Eagle started four years ago, the government has been on a mission to silence dissidentswith a focus on those with military backgrounds. 26-year-old Marine Brandon Raub has become famous for being targeted because of his Facebook posts. He claims that he was interrogated by government agents about his views on corrupted after being arrest with no warning. He also claims he was labeled mentally ill for subscribing to conspiratorial views about the government, and was detained against his will in a psych ward after refusing to surrender his views. This is a prime (albeit extreme) example of the governments current war on veterans. They have information, and our government doesnt like it. Its clear that the government is working hard to silence anyone accusing them of turning America into a police state. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is this just wrong?

1	Reportedly believing himself to be too good for such pedestrian fare, sources confirmed Monday that local cat Benson, a creature that craps in a box, considers the consumption of dry food to be beneath him. According to accounts, the feline, who reportedly climbs into a 18-by-20-inch box in the corner of a room and defecates into a pile of sandy granules twice a day, would rather forego a meal entirely than deign to eat food that does not contain a level of moisture that he deems suitable. Reports indicated that if the dainty little fusspot doesnt get the wet food he craves, he will whine and protest like a prima donna for minutes on end beside his dinner bowl, which happens to be situated just feet away from the unenclosed plastic box where he regularly empties his bowels. At press time, sources confirmed that His Majesty was lying across a $45 heated cat bed and licking his own groin. 
2	Liberals Are Attacking Clint Eastwood After He Did THIS At The Oscars Clint Eastwood shocked many viewers on Sunday night when he showed up to the Academy Awards with his significantly younger girlfriend Christina Sandera. Eastwood, 84, was at the even in honor of his film American Sniper. The director has reportedly been having a relationship with Sandera since last summer. This is the first woman Eastwood has dated since he separated from his second wife Dina after 18 years of marriage. Sandera is a restaurant hostess at Eastwoods Mission Ranch Hotel in Carmel, California. Her age was not disclosed, but experts are speculating that she is between 40 and 50 years old. What do you think? Do you support Eastwood? 
3	Something is Broken in the Gold and Silver MarketsBy Rory Hall Beginning in December, as Dave pointed out in Is The Global Financial System On The Brink Of Collapse? something happened in the derivatives market and I believe something broke and there has been an ongoing smoldering fire just under the surface. The criminals at the too big to prosecute mafia organizations, formerly known as banks, have been doing their level best to keep the fire from coming to the surface. The desperate behavior by the Central Planners reeks of the unmistakable scent of fear. If you think the Wall Street criminals arent scared right now, then explain this: Subsequent to whatever it was that blew up behind the scenes in December, a smallish bank in Austria blew up and filed for bankruptcy. Approximately two weeks later, a bank in Germany began having problems due to the derivatives associated with the Austrian bank. In April we learn, by way of Mr. Steve St. Angelo of the SRSRocco Report, the gold and silver miners are beginning to have serious cash flow problems and output is slowing down. We also learned, from Mr. Jeff Brown when we interviewed him on Shadow of Truth, that China had been removing silver ore directly from the miners. We believe this was to supplement their solar program which requires approximately 90% of the silver that China mines internally; leaving them virtually nothing to create silver bullion coins, medallions, silver bars or ingots for investment purposes. We also learned that India is also following the same line as China and has undertaken a massive solar energy program for their country. Currently, we do not have the information regarding how much silver India is pulling from the market but we do know their silver bullion imports have exploded in 2015. On July 5, the Prime Minister of Greece, Alexis Tsipras, decides to hold a referendum and allow the people of Greece to decide if they want to stay in the EuroZone and continue using the Euro as their currency. The Syriza Party, of which Mr Tsipras is a member, was elected with 35% majority, for the specific purpose of ending of austerity. As many people know, Greece has experienced enormous economic problems since joining the EuroZone and has taken on approximately $350 billion worth of debt from the IMF. The people of Greece voted, by a margin of 61% to 39%, to leave the EU and stop using the Euro. The Prime Minister responded by telling the Greek people, they would NOT be leaving the EuroZone and would in fact be taking on more debt from the IMF and would continue using the Euro!! The Greeks responded accordingly and have been protesting, rioting and various other nasty things since this happened. I dont blame them one bit. The second week of July 2015 the US Mint sells completely out of American Silver Eagles. This was unannounced, no forewarning was given at all. Usually if supplies become tight the Mint, in the past, has moved to allocated (read rationed) sales to the wholesalers. Not this time. The Mint opened their doors (figuratively) for business and before lunch had announced they were sold out and promptly closed their doors! The following week China announces, for the first time in five years, their current Official gold holdings. The increase was greeted with little enthusiasm as no one actually believed the amount announced. Most analysts believe the amount of gold held by China is much higher than they are willing to share with the world. Then a very curious thing happened. With all of the bullet points above as a back drop, four days after China makes their announcement of current gold holdings, someone or something triggered a massive selloff of gold futures. 716,000 ounces of gold, approximately 3% of annual global gold mining production, was sold in approximately 1 minutes time. WOW!!! Why would this happen at this time unless something was very, very wrong? China just announced they had increased their holdings, the global economy is in trouble and someone decides that now is the opportune time to unload 3% of global gold in 1 minute!! Does that make sense to you? Does that sound like the act of a desperate, trapped rat? It does to me. It seems like something else other than a derivatives event happened in December 2014 which has broken in the gold and silver markets. It seems like something unprecedented is about to make a grand entrance. I am not 100% sure, but I know this: if you dont have several months worth of cash, food, water and security on hand you better make a move and you better make it quick. Fall is coming, and there have been way too many people saying that fall of 2015 something is going to change; the picture seems pretty clear. You can read more from Rory Hall at his site TheDailyCoin.com. Dont forget to follow The Daily Coin on Twitter and like on Facebook. Greeks did not vote to come out of the Euro,but to reject the austerity measures put on them by the Troika I must treat everything else in this article with a suitable amount of caution Yep. Like Russia annexed Crimea? Yes, i was mistaken and have corrected the error. Thanks for pointing this out. Thanks for acknowledging and correcting TheDailyCoin Thank you for your erudite contribution FalconMoose Truth remains that it simply did not matter what the Greek people wanted.Tsipras was presented with a deal he could not refuse by the Troika/US State Dept.Another truth being that all of our financial markets are manipulated by the Rothschild banksters.The caution that one should exercise is in believing anything from the MSM/DC. George I agree the Greek people were ignored,and democracy means nothing to those that control international finance.I also agree that we cannot trust the MSM.I hesitate to name the Rothschilds particularly though I note that in spite of(or maybe because of)their size and clout ,they are rarely if ever mentioned by that same MSM.I hesitate because that might lead us to forget the other crooks! I remember reading in these very pages that we should be getting into gold and silver. 
1	At a Pentagon press conference Monday, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld touted the military's upcoming Gulf War II: The Vengeance as 'even better than the original.' Donald Rumsfeld debriefs reporters on the upcoming <i>Gulf War</i> sequel, scheduled to hit Iraq March 22. 'If you thought the first one was good, just wait until you see the sequel,' Rumsfeld said of Gulf War II, scheduled to hit Iraqi theaters of operation March 22. 'In the original, as you no doubt know, we defeat Saddam Hussein, only to let him slip away at the very end. This time, we're going back in to take out the trash.' Rumsfeld said the soon-to-be-unleashed war will feature special effects beyond anything seen in the original. 'Gulf War I was done 11 years ago, and war-making technology has advanced tremendously since then,' Rumsfeld said. 'From the guns to the planes to the missile-guidance systems, what you'll see in this one puts the original Gulf War to shame.' 'The budget for Gulf War II: The Vengeance is somewhere in the neighborhood of $85 billion,' Rumsfeld continued. 'And every penny of it is up there on your screen.' Waged in 1991 at a cost of $61 billion, the first Gulf War was a major hit, making household names out of stars Colin Powell, Norman Schwarzkopf, and Wolf Blitzer. Asked who would star in the sequel, General Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was coy. A publicity still from <i>Gulf War II</i>. 'I don't want to give away too much, but let's just say you're likely to see a few familiar faces pop up,' Myers said. 'I will say that the son of one of the key characters in the first one, back then just a boy, is now all grown up and ready to take his rightful place at the head of the alliance.' Myers did confirm that the plot revolves around the Rebel forces' efforts to capture arch-nemesis Hussein, whom they believe is building a weapon of mass destruction somewhere deep within the mysterious and forbidding No-Fly Zone. 'Obviously, Saddam will be back,' Myers said. 'He's the perfect villain: ruthless, efficient, and sinister. It would be an affront to all the fans not to include him. Beyond that, what's going to happen is anybody's guess. One thing, though, is guaranteed: We're going to have more action, more danger, and definitely more kill power than the first time around.' 'We've already started preliminary shooting,' Myers said, 'and so far, what we've got is unbelievable.' In addition to a major PR push, Gulf War II will be accompanied by a major merchandising campaign. Pentagon has secured the commitment of Topps for a series of cards supporting the effort. It has also brokered a first-look deal with CNN, guaranteeing the network full access to the front lines, as well as first crack at interviewing the men and women behind the scenes. The Pentagon has also signed Dan Rather to a two-cry deal. In the 11 years since the original Gulf War, few conflicts have come close to matching the level of support and press attention generated by that operation. 'We were disappointed by our numbers in Bosnia,' Rumsfeld said. 'That particular conflict played primarily to an art-house crowd. Your mainstream audiences didn't connect with the complexities of the centuries-old ethnic clash you had going there. But this time, we feel we've got something very accessible that will play in Peoria. I mean, how can you go wrong with an 'Axis of Evil'?' Though Gulf War II does not open fire for another two weeks, it has screened for select audiences in Los Angeles. Ain't It Cool News, the popular website run by Harry Knowles, recently leaked an advance review of the conflict. 'The battle sequences are even better than Black Hawk Down,' Knowles wrote. 'And Afghan leader Hamid Karzai, while only given a little action, exudes a Tarantino cool.' Pentagon officials, meanwhile, are already thinking about a third installment. 'There's no reason this Iraq thing can't be a franchise for us like those wars with Germany or the Communists used to be,' Rumsfeld said. 'The public loves it, the soldiers love it, the media love it. And even if the U.S. wins at the end of the second one, there are still plenty of possibilities for a third: Saddam could be destroyed, only to be replaced by an even greater evil. Then, of course, there's the prequel set in the Stone Age, the era we bomb Iraq back to at the end of the third one. As far as we're concerned, this thing is just getting started.' 
1	Area motorist Moe Balaczs is not showing any signs of weight loss, suppurating lesions, dementia, blindness, or any other grave maladies two weeks after maiming an 83-year-old Gypsy woman with his Ford Excursion. 'I have to tell you, it's a relief to suffer no repercussions after dragging a wizened crone in a black babushka under my truck for a block and a half,' said Balaczs, who did not report the accident in an effort to escape arcane retaliation. 'I really thought I'd be vomiting scorpions and weeping centipedes by now.' Balaczs added that, now that the old superstitions about curses and 'evil eyes' have been proven to be wives' tales, he will not be concerned about running over old gypsy women in the future. 
3	Record Manatee Deaths, But Experts Say No Harm To HumansSayer Ji ABC7 interviewed Mote Marine Laboratorys senior scientist Dr. Barbara Kirkpatrick on Feb. 27thabout whether there are any long-term effects of red tide on humans, to which she responded I dont think theres any evidence yet that we have to worry about long-term exposure. Really? What kind of evidence does Dr. Kirkpatrick think is lacking? Is Dr. Kirkpatrick pointing to a lack of large-scale, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human studies showing that chronic low-dose red tide exposure is anything but harmless? Because if this the standard of proof she requires in order to make a determination about possible health risks to an already exposed public, we shall never know the truth, as such a study is not only unethical to perform, but would be too expensive to attract the necessary funding. With a record 174 manatees confirmed dead from Red Tide this year, it is hard to understand how Dr. Kirkpatrick or the institution she represents can say that humans are immune to red tides long-term toxic effects. It doesnt take a Doctorate (or even a grammar school education) in biology to know that humans are mammals as well. If mammals are dying in plain sight from Red Tide in numbers far beyond any previously recorded year, perhaps it is not such a good idea for families, and especially their children, to be swimming in, or eating from, affected areas. Or to pretend like aerosolized brevetoxins (with a toxicity confirmed to be in the same range as cyanide and which can travel on the wind miles inshore) are nothing to worry about in the long term. Will it take large-scale population studies (epidemiological evidence) performed well into the future that folks living close to chronically affected areas, who were told not to exercise caution, are found to have increased risk of serious illness, or even higher mortality? The reality is that there does exist evidence pointing to possible long-term effects of Red Tide exposure, and you can view the peer-reviewed and published study abstracts on our Red Tide toxicity page. We are three months into 2013 and already the 1996 record of 151 manatees dead from Red Tide has been surpassed. [see yearly record] Should we continue to keep our heads buried in the proverbial sand of the Gulf of Mexico beaches, taking on faith the word of some would-be higher scientific authority such as Mote Marine Laboratory who represents a politically popular, but absolutely irresponsible perspective (Our beaches are fine! Buy a house or visit us soon!)?

1	As the standoff between Ivory Coast's defiant incumbent president and its president-elect continued into its seventh week, American media experts warned Tuesday that the tense political showdown could escalate into a full-scale news blurb. 'We're looking at an extremely volatile situation that, if it isn't defused quickly and carefully, has the potential to explode into 100 to 150 words of news copy,' said Joseph Durand of the Center for Media and Public Affairs, who noted that the BBC was already reporting sporadic sound bites being fired off by both sides. 'In a worst-case scenario, we could see cross-border destabilization that spills over into a fifth or possibly even sixth sentence.' In spite of the threat of a massive international armed conflict, U.S. media leaders vowed not to deploy American journalists to the unstable region unless a full-blown article broke out in nearby oil-rich Nigeria. 
1	Operators of Keliba Temporary Services of Angola announced Monday that they have been swamped with unemployed citizens seeking temporary mercenary work. Unemployed mercenaries wait for work in the Keliba Temporary Services office. 'It's a madhouse,' said Imaculada Bimbi, manager of Keliba Temps. 'When we open up in the morning, there is a line of camouflage-clad men waiting at the door.' When the rebel UNITA [National Union for the Total Independence of Angola] and the Angolan government signed a cease-fire in 2002, they ended the civil war that plagued the southwest African nation for more than 25 years, but left several hundred thousand mercenaries jobless. Around 75 percent of these soldiers-for-hire eventually turned to temping. 'Some call us five or six times a day,' Bimbi said. 'Others sit in the waiting room cleaning their rifles and flipping through back issues of Angola Today, just waiting for jobs to come.' Bimbi said that, because Keliba Temps maintains a waiting list and keeps applicants on file for six months, there's no reason for the men to spend the day in the office. 'If the UNITA insurgents were able to locate mercenaries on the planalto, then we should be capable of finding them in their homes,' Bimbi said. 'But they sit here and drink pot after pot of complimentary coffee, litter banana peels and dried fish tails on the floors, and wash their bandannas in the bathroom sink.' Bimbi explained the mercenaries' reluctance to relocate to regions with more favorable employment climates. 'Many have lived in Angola all their lives, and do not want to go all the way to the Congo or Sierra Leone to find work,' Bimbi said. 'Now, Angola will always have a need for qualified, experienced mercenaries, and the work they do is very valuable. But we simply have too many workers and not enough jobs.' Last month, Keliba Temps was forced to hire several extra staff members to handle the influx of mercenaries. Although Bimbi considered hiring a mercenary for the front-desk position, none of the applicants had the proper qualifications. 'Working the front desk requires communication skills, a professional appearance, patience, and the ability to type,' Bimbi said. 'I can't tell you how many keyboards have been split apart with machetes during our standard typing test.' Bimbi said early attempts to place mercenaries among the non-mercenary workforce ended in disaster. 'My first week here, I sent a mercenary to work on the assembly line in a PVC factory,' Bimbi said. 'I later learned that the mercenary had, in his former job, blown up the line supervisor's vegetable stand and kidnapped his teenage daughter.' Bimbi now attempts to do more thorough background checks. 'But it's hard,' Bimbi said. 'Most of our clients' references turn out to be dead.' According to Bimbi, the agency has even had problems after successfully placing a mercenary within his field. 'We always have to chase them down for their paperwork,' Bimbi said. 'They demand payment, but they won't hand in their time sheets. They're very good at hunting stray dogs and roasting them outside the office in that garbage can, but not so good at reporting their hours.' Keliba Temporary Services is not alone. Many Angolan temp agencies have reported problems with too many unemployed mercenaries and not enough requests for beheadings, ambushes, and torchings. 'A few months ago, we had an employer who had five mercenary openings on a team that he was sending into Namibia to overtake a rice convoy,' said Jonas Lukamba, manager of the Manpower Professional Servicing branch in Menongue. 'But since then, there has been nothing. We held a weekend workshop to train a group of kidnappers, torturers, and renegade pilots on Excel, but the seminar ended in bloodshed.' The mercenary field is so flooded, Lukamba said, that he regularly receives phone calls from employment agencies across the country asking if his branch has openings for mercenaries. 'These calls are very irritating,' Lukamba said. 'Every time the phone rings, 15 heavily armed men leap to their feet and rush the counter.' 'Perhaps one day soon, a corrupt warlord will rise to power in Angola and need men to hack apart villagers and urinate on the remains,' Lukamba added. 'Until then, all I can do is try to get these men working as telephone solicitors.' 
2	Black Man Stabs Six Year Old White Kid To Death You probably havent seen this report in the mainstream media, and if you have, it was probably brief. 32-year-old Ronald Exantus of Indianapolis has just been charged with stabbing a six-year-old boy to death in his own home. The ruthless murder of Logan Tipton took place early one Monday morning in the Kentucky town of Versailles. Authorities believe that Exantus walked around the house while the family slept, before he proceeded to grab a butcher knife out of the kitchen. He then went to the boys bedroom, and stabbed him in the head. He appears to have taken the boys life for sport. Exantus is now being charged with burglary and murder for his unthinkable crimes. His sentence will be little reparation for the Tipton family, who lost their cherished son. Now, they are asking for donations from the public to pay for funeral expenses and counseling for Logans two young siblings. Does Exantus deserve to be punished to the full extent of the law? 
1	Seeking to honor the former president and longtime Alzheimer's sufferer, congressional Republicans have mounted a campaign to rename Alzheimer's 'Reagan's Disease.' Armey urges his fellow legislators to rename Alzheimer's to honor Reagan. 'No one is more strongly associated with this degenerative brain disease than Ronald Reagan, the man who restored pride to America and singlehandedly ended the Cold War,' said House Majority Leader Dick Armey, speaking before the House Tuesday. 'For all he has given this country, this is the least we can give back.' Armey, co-sponsor of HR 3461, the Reagan's Disease Renaming Bill, is backed by the American Ronald Reagan Recognition Group (ARRRG), a coalition of citizens and business leaders who have championed the cause for more than five years. 'Approximately four million Americans are afflicted with Alzheimer's, and another 37 million know someone suffering from it,' said Armey, reading a statement prepared by ARRRG. 'To put the name of this great leader on the tips of all these tongues would be a fitting tribute, indeed.' Republicans have already honored Reagan by naming or renaming hundreds of public worksincluding highways, libraries, parks, hospitals, and federal buildingsafter him. In 1998, Washington National Airport was renamed Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. The following year, construction was completed on the Ronald Reagan International Trade Center, the largest government building in Washington. Ronald Reagan 'When someone drives past the Ronald W. Reagan Federal Courthouse in Santa Ana or Ronald Reagan High School in San Antonio, they are reminded of the contributions of this great man,' ARRRG spokesman James Andrusko said. 'How fitting it would be to name this disease after Reagan, who has so valiantly battled it since the early 1980s.' Armey and other GOP lawmakers hope to change the disease's name in time for Reagan's 92nd birthday on Feb. 6, 2003. 'Just as Lou Gehrig's Disease calls to mind the Iron Horse and his legendary achievements on the baseball field, Reagan's Disease will remind Americans of the Great Communicator and his countless achievements in the field of politics,' U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) said. 'I can't think of an Alzheimer's sufferer more richly deserving of this honor than one of the greatest presidents of all time, Mr. Ronald Wilson Reagan.' 'President Reagan may not be capable of understanding this honor,' Lugar continued, 'but we owe it to him nonetheless.' In 1995, Reagan revealed his fight with Alzheimer's in a letter to the American people, then retired from public life to privately battle the illness. Planes are readied for departure at Reagan National Airport. 'Though Reagan first disclosed that he had Alzheimer's in 1995, it's clear that he suffered the onset of the disease long before then,' said Dr. Jim Hollis, the president's personal physician. 'There is no test to diagnose Alzheimer's in its early stages, so symptoms like memory loss and confusion are often wrongly attributed to normal aging. Obviously, this was the case with Reagan, judging by his behavior during the Iran-Contra hearings.' Hollis said that early symptoms of Alzheimer's, including repetition of statements and mild disorientation, are often subtle. Advanced symptoms, however, are more pronounced, including inability to recall recent major life events, delusions, depression, agitation, hallucinations, belligerence, and violent behavior. 'Reagan,' Hollis said. 'Definitely Reagan.' According to Alzheimer's Association president Diane Watros, though the name change may result in temporary inconvenience, the group fully supports it. 'This can only help raise awareness, which will, in turn, lead to increases in federal research funding to find a cure,' Watros said. 'Some may see it as unnecessary and pandering, even a slap in the face to Alois Alzheimer, the scientist who discovered the disease in 1906, but he's dead and long forgotten, unlike The Gipper.' Watros also hopes the renaming will result in improvements in quality of care for those who suffer from the disease. 'As it is, health-care workers look at an Alzheimer's sufferer and only see someone who can no longer perform such basic functions as eating, dressing, and bathing, someone who spends most of his or her day babbling nonsensically or just staring off blankly into the distance,' Watros said. 'But in the future, they will look at this same person and be reminded of Ronald Reagan.' 
3	Vaccines: The Needle And The Damage DoneBrandon Turbeville With that in mind, given a specific length of time to present the information surrounding a particular topic such as vaccines, it is often necessary to summarize the relevant parts of that information in a concise fashion, while, unfortunately, other information is left out of the presentation completely. On February 18, I gave a one-hour lecture dealing with the dangers of vaccinations (see below). While I did my best to include as much information as possible within the given time frame and some relevant information was necessarily left out of the presentation, I was able to summarize the underlying falsehoods and assumptions of vaccine science taken as fact by most medical doctors, the ineffectiveness of vaccines, the dangers of vaccination, the reasons such toxic injections that continue to be forced on the general population, and the ultimate goal of eugenics behind the vaccination movement at the highest levels. During the course of the presentation, I was able to demonstrate that antibody levels do not correlate with immunity and that vaccines themselves, aside from the antibody issue, have never been proven to be effective. I was also able to show how vaccines, in addition to being ineffective, are extremely dangerous as a result of their toxic ingredients. In conclusion, I suggested that the reason for the prevalence of toxic vaccinations and the false propaganda surrounding them was not only due to the greed of major pharmaceutical companies and vaccine makers but also to the desire of the elite to reduce the population and engage in a worldwide eugenics program. The Antibody Deception Deconstructs the bedrock of vaccine science that the presence of antibodies equals immunity. The Influenza Deception Deconstructs the statistics surrounding the flu virus, its prevalence, and its death rate. This article uses statistics provided by the CDC itself to prove its case. The Toxic Placebo Effect of Vaccines Demonstrates that vaccines are, at best, no more effective than a placebo. Vaccines Did Not Save Us 2 Centuries of Official Statistics An excellent article by the editors of the Child Health Safety website which collates research and statistics from the years before vaccines were introduced on a wide scale. Evidence Contradicts Whooping Cough Pro-Vaccine Propaganda Deconstructs the narrative of fear pushed by the mainstream media regarding the dangers of Whooping Cough and the effectiveness of the vaccine.

1	In an address before three fellow residents of Tenney Hall's fourth-floor west wing Tuesday, University of Florida sophomore Jeff Arnell, 18, issued a warning about the Christian in 462. Christian in 462 'If you see the guy who lives in the single down at the end of the hall, get away,' Arnell told Troy Rasbach, Pete Marquez and Jonathan Wilkins, who had assembled in Arnell's room to watch SportsCenter. 'He'll totally corner you and start telling you about Jesus.' According to Arnell, the Christian, Ocala, FL, elementary-education major Matthew Leske, not only attends church on a regular basis despite a lack of parental supervision at school, but also voluntarily goes to campus prayer meetings and other Christian youth-group functions. Arnell said he first suspected his dormmate's faith in the Lord last Friday. 'I was punching in my door combo when he came up to me and asked me for help with his e-mail,' Arnell said. 'So I go to his room, and I'm setting up his UF campus account, and I start to notice all this weird stuff on his walls, like this cross on his bulletin board and this poster that said, 'I am the light and the world' or something. He even had one of those metal fish symbols like you see on cars. Then, when it came time to choose his password, he types in 'Corinthians,' and I was like, 'Oh, shit, get me out of here.'' Several hours after the encounter, Arnell was once again approached by Leske, this time in the dorm's study lounge. 'He came up to me and thanked me for helping him with the e-mail and everything. I was like, 'Hey no prob, man,' but he kept acting all super-nice to me,' Arnell said. 'I was definitely getting nervous.' After talking about his class schedule for approximately 90 seconds, Leske invited Arnell to attend a Bible reading at his church, the New Life Assembly, on Friday. When Arnell declined, saying he had other plans, Leske invited him to drop by the church's New Student Welcome Picnic on Sunday. 'I said I'd try to make it, but I told him I didn't know for sure if I could because I had a paper due the next day,' said Arnell, who was raised Christian himself but is not 'all weird about it.' 'If that guy knocks on my door Sunday morning, I'll be seriously freaked.' After becoming trapped in an excruciatingly long conversation about the importance of letting Christ into their hearts and minds, Rasbach and Marquez concluded that 'something must be done.' Not only will Leske's presence expose Tenney Hall residents to proselytizing, they said, but it will also make them more vulnerable to punishment for breaking dorm rules, including those pertaining to observation of quiet hours, drug and alcohol use, and visitations from females after midnight. 'That guy in 462 better not rat us out to the R.A.,' Rasbach said. 'We're gonna have to really watch it now.' The four dormmates who assembled in Arnell's room have developed a Christian-avoidance strategy, one which includes 'scoping out' the fourth-floor west wing for the possible presence of Leske before discussing the purchase of alcoholic beverages; avoiding Leske in the dorm's dining hall and study area; and agreeing to 'rescue' each other from conversations with the Christian in the event of accidental contact. 'We have got to be majorly careful,' Arnell said. 'He'll suck you in, dude.' 
2	Michelle Obamas Latest Insult To Christians Everywhere The Obamas are no strangers when it comes to upsetting Christians, and November 5 of this past year was no exception. On that day, the White House held a Hindu Diwali festival, where Michelle claimed that her family wished to celebrate everything that make us who we are as Americans. It should be noted that she did not include Christianity or Judaism in her statement, although hey are the primary religions in our country. The Obama administration is currently facing 77 lawsuits regarding violations of the First Amendment and their imposed regulations on Americans religious beliefs. The lawsuits are all currently pending. Plaintiffs include companies ranging from Hobby Lobby craft stores to the Catholic Archdiocese of Washington D.C. Most of the lawsuits have to do with the fact that there are requirements for employers to provide coverage of contraceptives, abortions and sterilizations under the Affordable Care Act. When we say that we want to make the White House the peoples house, we mean all people, Michelle continued, We mean that we want to honor and embrace all of the many cultures and faith traditions that make us who we are as Americans. What do you think? Are the Obamas being hypocritical? 
1	Noting the sticky floors, pervasive smell of fecal matter, and greasy residue on the electronic equipment, voters arriving late in the day to cast their ballots at the Woodlawn Library polling station reported that the voting booth was completely disgusting by the time they got there. As soon as I walked in there I started to gag, said voter Danielle Barnes, who had to sidestep a pile of soggy toilet paper, soiled diapers, used tampons, and pornographic magazines before she could even approach the Diebold AccuVote-TS machine, which was caked over with mud, crusted semen, and dried blood. There was mayonnaise everywheresomeone definitely ate a meal in there and then smeared mayonnaise on the wall. I also saw a couple hypodermic needles, and there was some sort of brownish, yellowish grease covering the floor. These people are animals. Barnes later admitted that she did end up urinating in the corner of the booth before casting her vote.

1	Evan Riedel has made reference to his Sept. 6 Scrabble victory over girlfriend Amy Vanderploeg 'about 200 friggin' times' in the days since, Vanderploeg reported Monday. Amy Vanderploeg with boyfriend Evan Riedel, who is still carrying on about his Sept. 6 Scrabble win. 'Evan will not let that Scrabble game drop,' Vanderploeg, 23, said. 'Constantly, he'll say stuff like, 'Do you need help reading that magazine article? I know your vocabulary isn't the best, judging from that round of Scrabble we played.' Give it up already, Evan.' The oft-alluded-to match, which took place at Vanderploeg's apartment, was a decisive 382-183 victory for Riedel, who needed less than one hour to dispense with his girlfriend of three years. Upon winning, he performed a brief victory dance and began verbally taunting his vanquished opponentbehavior that has continued unabated nearly two weeks later. 'He works the word 'esteemed' into conversation whenever possible and then says, 'Gee, I really like that word 'esteemed,'' Vanderploeg said. 'He was so proud that he'd used up those four e's in one word and used all seven tiles.' Vanderploeg added that by placing 'esteemed' across a triple-word-score spot on the board and earning a 50-point bonus for using all his letters, Riedel was able to, in his words, 'rack up a sweet 77' on the turn. In addition to constantly bringing up his best moves, Riedel has relished pointing out errors Vanderploeg made during the game. 'Whenever we see a cat now, he goes, 'C-A-T... Cat!' as a way of making fun of me for putting down such a simple word at one point,' Vanderploeg said. 'Then he usually says, 'You know where cats like to walk? On the catwalk!' That's because instead of putting down 'cat,' I could've added my 'cat' onto the word 'walk' that was already on the board and gotten a lot more points.' Vanderploeg said she should have anticipated Riedel's post-victory arrogance on the basis of his behavior during the game. 'Evan was getting way too into it,' she said. 'At one point, he got a double-word score and actually screamed, 'Boo-ya!''' By the midpoint of the game, Riedel had developed an elaborate tile-picking ritual, shaking the bag vigorously before blowing into it and chanting, 'Come on, come on, please... gimme the Xs, Js, and Zs!' According to Vanderploeg, such theatrics made it difficult for her to concentrate on the game and contributed to her poor showing. Scrabble game box. 'There were several times when I put down the first thing I thought of, just to get the stupid thing over with faster,' Vanderploeg said. 'Every time it was my turn, Evan would lean across the board and stare at me. It started to get really annoying, but whenever I told him to stop, he'd say, 'What's the matter? Can't take the heat?'' According to noted psychologist Dr. Eli Wasserbaum, Riedel's behavior is rooted in his outsider status during childhood. 'Awkward and ungainly as a boy, Evan never excelled in athletics,' Wasserbaum said. 'He did, however, find shelter in academia. It is natural, then, that he is most comfortable asserting his male competitive instincts in this arena. His frequent allusion to the Scrabble victory can be likened to a male peacock extending his colorful tail plumage before the female bird. With his constant boasting, Evan is not actually trying to annoy his girlfriend but instead impress her and win her approval.' Riedel has engaged in boardgame-victory braggadocio in the past, carrying on about triumphs in such games as Trivial Pursuit, Balderdash, and Outburst. 'One time, we were playing Scattergories with [longtime couple] Jeff [Weitz] and Kimberly [Alford], and Evan got so bad, I had to cut the game short,' Vanderploeg said. 'We didn't see them for, like, three months after that.' While Riedel admits to mentioning the Scrabble victory frequently, he denies any wrongdoing. 'I'm just teasing Amy, is all,' Riedel said. 'Besides, I can't help it if I possess a superior vocabulary and stellar word-formation skills. Cha-ching!' 
2	Entitled Michelle Obama Gets Hit With Brutal Wake Up Call... Throughout Barack Obamas two terms as president, he has pretended to identify with the struggles Americans are facing every day to make ends meet. Meanwhile, his wife Michelle has been quietly spending millions of tax dollars on lavish vacations for the family. Even after Americans expressed their outrage about her extravagant lifestyle, the Obamas will be traveling to Hawaii to celebrate their annual Christmas vacation. According to Judicial Watch, the Obamas spent $4,823,206.88 on their familys 2015 trip to Hawaii. In fact, the first family has made the trip for Christmas every year of his presidency, costing taxpayers a whopping $85,029,819. Their current vacation began yesterday, and will run through January 3, 2016but Secret Service agents have rented various homes for 19 days, beginning December 16. The total for the rental this year was $245,993.12 for rooms near the Marine Corps base at Kaneohe Bay. They also spent money on rooms at the Moana Surfrider resort on Waikiki Beach and the Ala Moana Hotel, which cost a total of $40,249.28 and $671,895.99, respectively. The Secret Service and the Air Force are being abused by unnecessary travel, Judicial Watch president, Tom Fitton, argued. Unnecessary presidential travel for fundraising and luxury vacations on the taxpayers dime would be a good target for reform for the incoming Trump administration. What do you think? Is this type of spending absolutely unacceptable? 
1	Atco Tool & Design machinist Richie Loftus, diagnosed four months ago with Hodgkin's Disease, has already exceeded his allotted number of sick days for the year, his employers warned Monday. Loftus rests at home after radiation therapy, putting him even further over the sick-day limit. 'It's unfortunate, what's happening with Richie, but company policy clearly states that employees are permitted 15 sick days per year,' Atco Tool & Design office manager Mike Phelan said. 'Richie's already missed a month and a half of work since June. You just can't run a business that way.' Loftus, 32, admitted that his constant fever, crippling fatigue, and malignant splenomegaly has affected his job performance. 'I've definitely missed my share of days,' said Loftus, diagnosed with Stage III Hodgkin's lymphoma on June 20 after a steady decline in health prompted a biopsy. 'I've tried to keep my chemotherapy sessions down to just one a week so I don't have to drop down to part-time at Atco and lose my health coverage, but it's been tough.' Though Loftus used a majority of his sick days after the diagnosis, Phelan noted that he had not been a paragon of regular attendance beforehand. 'By the time Richie went in for his tests in late June, he had already missed a heck of a lot of work,' said Phelan, leafing through Loftus' personal file. 'In fact, the week before the disease even started, he was out for three days because of headaches, nausea, and vomiting.' 'And even when he was here,' Phelan continued, 'he wasn't anywhere near as productive as we'd have liked, always needing to lay down in the break room. So we're not exactly talking about the most reliable employee to begin with.' Loftus said he has tried to make adjustments in his approach to the job, but it has been difficult. 'I've tried to find a way to get around this whole illness thing,' said Loftus, resting on his living-room couch after a morning of radiation therapy. 'Unfortunately, I don't have the kind of job where I can work from home, even if I had the energy and lucidity to do so. And even when I can make it into the shop, it's tough to work the machines, because these club fingers I've developed are just as ridden with subdural hemophilia as the rest of me. I feel terrible about being such a drain on AT&D.' Nearly broke, Loftus recently asked Atco Tool & Design management if he could take some of the 22 paid personal days and 31 vacation days he has accumulated during his six years with the company, and use them as sick days. The request was denied. 'They said I couldn't do that, because that would open up a whole can of worms, with employees messing around and mixing up the different types of paid leave,' Loftus said. 'They did say, though, that I should feel free to use my vacation days and take a nice trip to Hawaii or somewhereso long as I don't get any treatment while I'm there.' Added Loftus: 'Hawaii probably wouldn't be much fun, anyway, what with this explosive diarrhea.' Loftus' expensive treatment is 80 percent covered by his employee health plan, a benefit that is costing Atco Tool & Design a significant amount of money. 'Richie's type of extended-illness coverage costs this company an extra $22 per employee per month. That adds up. Not only that, but he goes through Cisplatin, Cytarabine, and Dexamethasone like they were going out of style,' said Atco Tool & Design general manager Mel Huffinger. 'And those drugs are not cheap, that's for sure. Richie would have to work here another 45 years without a single major illness for us to break even on him. And we all know that ain't gonna happen.' 'I feel for Richie, obviously, but I don't think anyone would hold him up as a model employee,' Phelan said. 'He's a decent guy, and I hope he gets through this and becomes a healthy, productive worker again as soon as he can. But right now, he's hardly giving us incentive to hire Hodgkin's Disease sufferers in the future.' 
1	CAST STEVE, a lean, handsome man in his early 30s who works as a loan officer. MELANIE, a petite, cute woman in her late 20s who works as a bank teller. PETER, the president of Consolidated Bank, a tall, silver-haired man in his mid-50s. ACT ONE An employee party in PETERs luxurious penthouse. STEVE, who has had a few drinks but who is still quite sober, approaches MELANIE, who is sitting at the end of a couch. STEVE: Is something wrong? MELANIE: (a bit startled) Oh, no. Im just trying to think of the last time I fed my cat. I think I forgot his dinner. He gets upset when his schedule is disrupted. STEVE: What do you see in cats? I just dont un-der-stand how people can get along with them. MELANIE: I suppose youre a dog person. STEVE: (nodding proudly) Why, yes I am. MELANIE: I think cats are better pets than dogs. STEVE: No way. Dogs are better. MELANIE: (shaking her head and smiling con-fi-dent-ly) But dogs are so dumb! You go out for a second to get the mail and when you come back they act like they havent seen you in a week! STEVE: (crumples his face skeptically) Come on! Cats never pay attention to you! Dogs are af-fec-tion-ate. When you come home from a long day at work, theyre so excited to see you! MELANIE: Oh, yeah? Well at least cats groom themselves. A dog wont ever clean itself. STEVE: Id rather own a pet that gets dirty once in a while than a pet that has to relieve itself in a box! MELANIE: So I suppose you enjoy taking your dog (groans) outside a million times a day. STEVE: Well how about the fact that cats have to be pampered? Theyre so fussy! MELANIE: Cats simply have finer, more sophisticated tasteslike their owners. (smiles and folds her arms triumphantly) STEVE: Cat owners are icy and detached. MELANIE: Dog owners are messy and simple-mind-ed! ACT TWO PETER approaches their couch, attracted by MELANIEs outburst. PETER: (holding out his hands as if surrendering) Whoa, you two! Calm down! Sparring over the superiority of the dog and the cat has been a staple of conversational small talk for as long as polite society has existed. The playful debate which springs from our love for our two favoritebut very differentcompanion animals always results in a delightful exchange. But the argument will never be settled. Actually, thats part of its enduring appeal. STEVE: (slowly looks from PETER to MELANIE) Im sorry for snapping at you. Hey, maybe we should mingle. We cant let this party (pauses and smiles devilishly) go to the dogs! MELANIE: (taking his hand and nodding) Youre right. That would be a cat-tastrophe! STEVE and MELANIE rise from the couch hand in hand and walk off to rejoin the party. CURTAIN 
3	Were Intelligence Agencies Using The Heartbleed Security Bug in November 2013?Peter Eckersley In response to the story, EFF called for further evidence of Heartbleed attacks in the wild prior to Monday. The first thing we learned was that the SeaCat report was a possible false positive; the pattern in their logs looks like it could be caused by ErrataSecs masscan software, and indeed one of the source IPs was ErrataSec. The second log seems much more troubling. We have spoken to Ars Technicas second source, Terrence Koeman, who reports finding some inbound packets, immediately following the setup and termination of a normal handshake, containing another Client Hello message followed by the TCP payload bytes 18 03 02 00 03 01 40 00 in ingress packet logs from November 2013. These bytes are a TLS Heartbeat with contradictory length fields, and are the same as those in the widely circulated proof-of-concept exploit. To reach a firmer conclusion about Heartbleeds history, it would be best for the networking community to try to replicate Koemans findings. Any network operators who have extensive TLS-layer traffic logs can check for malicious heartbeats, which most commonly have a TCP payload of exactly 18 03 02 00 03 01 40 00, although the 0x4000 at the end may be replaced with lower numbers, particularly in implementations that try to read multiple malloc chunk bins. Network operators might also keep an eye out for other interesting log entries from 193.104.110.* and the other IPs in the related botnet. Who knows what they might find? A lot of the narratives around Heartbleed have viewed this bug through a worst-case lens, supposing that it might have been used for some time, and that there might be tricks to obtain private keys somewhat reliably with it. At least the first half of that scenario is starting to look likely. For more information about threats to your digital privacy, please visit the Electronic Frontier Foundation. 
1	In the latest administration initiative meant to reassure citizens nervous about the slow pace of economic recovery, President Obama proposed a tax hike this week for the shittiest, most self-absorbed 2 percent of Americans. 'In challenging times like this, I believe it is only fair that our country's hugest jerks should bear the largest share of the tax burden,' Obama said of the increase that will reportedly affect those who cut people off in traffic as well as those who point and laugh when they see someone fall down. 'Hopefully, this proposal will serve as a wake-up call to people who behave in ways that are totally uncool yet who never seem to pay a price for it.' The increase has been widely criticized by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) as well as an estimated 97 percent of the nation's wealthiest citizens. 
1	Riots broke out in the streets of Nablus at 3 p.m. Monday, shattering a Middle East peace that had lasted for nearly 45 minutes. The violence, which left 15 Palestinian civilians and at least a dozen Israeli soldiers dead, was the most significant fighting to erupt in the volatile region since 2:15 p.m. that same day, when an Israeli tank ran over 85 rock-throwing Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. 'Just before lunch, I believed things were moving forward,' said disappointed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking from a Jerusalem-area falafel shop. 'But now that this delicious falafel and hummus sandwich is done, I just do not know.' Netanyahu vowed to work with PLO leader Yasser Arafat to secure a true, lasting peace that will endure well into weekend. 
1	Hoping to boost attendance and broaden its base of supporters, the Metropolitan Museum of Art launched a new initiative this week that allows patrons, for the first time ever, to prod and scratch at the classic paintings in its revered collection. 'Though it contains more than two million pieces and represents a profound legacy of artistic achievement, most people remain completely indifferent to our museum,' Met director Thomas P. Campbell said. 'So we decided to try something a little different and give visitors a chance to experience our timeless works of art up close and personal.' Added Campbell, 'Please, bring the whole family and smudge up our paintings as much as you want.' According to Campbell, attendance has increased tenfold since the new policy went into effect, with record turnouts causing 45-minute waits for those wishing to clumsily paw at the works of Vincent van Gogh. 'You can't grasp the brilliance of a great painting just by looking at it,' said Phil Brehm, 32, who acknowledged that he hadn't set foot inside a museum since a mandatory field trip in high school. 'To truly appreciate fine art, you need to be able to run your fingers over its surface and explore its range of textures.' 'Or just rub your face all over it, like I do,' Brehm added. Gerard Schmidt, a retired banker who lives near the Met, said he had never much cared for museums until he was given the chance to manhandle one of Monet's Water Lilies. 'At first it just looked like a picture of a bunch of lily pads, but then I started scraping at it with my pocket knife and the whole painting just sort of spoke to me,' Schmidt said. 'For the first time, I finally understand what Monet was trying to get across in her work.' Art students also took advantage of the Met's relaxed rules, with many photocopying Czanne canvasses or trying to gain insight into Rembrandt's techniques by tracing over Aristotle With A Bust Of Homer with soft pencils and charcoal. Karen Cooper, a 41-year-old mother of four, said she enjoyed her first visit to the Met, but admitted it was exhausting to spend an entire afternoon touching paintings. 'This is good to know about, though' said Cooper, before applying another coating of moisturizing lotion to her hands and returning to palm more Vermeers. 'Whenever I need some alone time, I can bring the kids here and send them off to go play with the Picassos for a while.' Museum officials confirmed that many new visitors have given donations to the museum to get special member benefits, such as being allowed to remove works of art from the walls and sit down with them while enjoying food or drinks in the caf. The new policy has been so popular that on Monday the Met began extending tactile privileges beyond its paintings. Patrons are now invited to climb inside ancient Egyptian sarcophagi, whether to take a souvenir photo or just carve a message into a 2,500-year-old sacred coffin. Museum-goers are also encouraged to try on the medieval suits of armor and participate in mock battles. Commenting on the diversity of the museum's permanent collection, Met publicity director Sarita Bhakta said, 'Where else can you recline in an original Mies chair, put your feet up on a Rodin, and play 'The Devil Went Down To Georgia' on a 300-year-old Stradivarius?' Some, however, remained unimpressed. 'I touched a crapload of Jasper Johns' paintings,' said Mark Bennet, 67. 'I just don't get why they're supposed to be so special. They feel like any regular old painting.' Still, the Met's success has inspired other institutions to follow suit. The Guggenheim Museum now allows customers to swing from its Calder mobiles, while the American Museum of Natural History has begun charging $2 to ride atop its famed brontosaurus skeleton. And the cash-strapped Boston Symphony Orchestra has created a special 'Jam Night' during which audience members can come up onstage to play along with the orchestra, improvise lyrics, or just twirl around waving colored scarves. 'Sometimes you have to go that extra mile to grab people's attention,' said Campbell, the Met director. 'Sometimes it takes more than curating exhibits that bring meaning and context to our complex cultural heritage, more than preserving works of art that capture the spirit of transcendence unique to humankind.' Continued Campbell: 'Next year we're going to let people grab any masterpiece they like and just take a shit on it.' 
3	SWAT Team Raids Home, Kills Man Over $2 Worth of PotBy Jay Syrmopoulos An internal investigation absolved officers of any wrongdoing though police only found .2 grams of marijuana in Westcotts home. They have IA, they have internal investigations but when you police yourself, you have that veil of concern by the outsider, said attorney T.J. Grimaldi. On Tuesday, attorney T.J. Grimaldi, representing the family of Westcott, informed the city that family would be filing a lawsuit, after finding numerous glaring inconsistencies in police statements in the aftermath of the killing. We have developed and seen what we view to be significant inconsistencies with the way that the police department portrayed this case from the get-go all the way to its conclusion, he said. We have put the city and the police department on notice that we are going to be filing a lawsuit, Grimaldi said. Westcott became the target of an intense drug trafficking investigation after a confidential informant led investigators to believe that Westcott was a dealer, as opposed to the casual cannabis smoker he was in reality. The informant has since gone public and admitted that he was lying to police in the case. According to the Tampa Bay Times report: A 50-year-old felon and drug addict, Ronnie Bodie Coogle, was the principal Tampa Police Department informer against at least five suspects this year. He conducted nine undercover operations. In their probable-cause affidavits, his handlers called him reliable. Even Tampas police chief praised his track record. Coogle said they were all wrong. He said he repeatedly lied about suspects, stole drugs he bought on the publics dime and conspired to falsify drug deals. He wasnt a drug dealer. He sold a few grams of pot to smoke pot and stay high, Coogle said of Westcott. If you could even label Jason a drug dealer, he was the lowest level drug dealer. Peter Zwolinski, Westcotts landlord, told the Times that when a Tampa police officer told him on the night of the raid that Westcott and Reyes were drug dealers, he basically laughed in his face. A drug dealer is paying his rent on time, and he doesnt have me bothering him for money every week, Zwolinski said. You ever see a drug dealer whose phone was disconnected for a week at least every other month? I dont. After seeing a news report about Westcotts death, Coogle decided to come clean about his complicity in the situation and expose the lies that the police were attempting to forward in the case. Theyre making statements that are lies, that are absolute untruths, that are based on shady facts, Coogle said of Tampa police. Everything theyre saying is based on the informant. And I was the informant. Coogle said he decided to step forward and reveal his identity, risking retribution from drug dealers, because of his remorse over Westcotts death. Ive got morals, and I feel compassion for this guys family and for his boyfriend, he said. It didnt have to happen this way. Westcotts live-in boyfriend, Israel Reyes, 22, elaborated telling the Tampa Bay Times that he and Westcott were marijuana smokers, who sometimes sold to acquaintances, not drug dealers. He said they never kept more than 12 grams a misdemeanor possession amount in the house. We would just sell a blunt here and there to our friends or whatever. It was no crazy thing. There werent people coming in and out of our house every day, Reyes said. It wasnt paying any bills. We were still broke . . . going to work every day. Nonetheless, on May 27, 2014, a Tampa Police SWAT team raided Westcott and Reyess home, killing Jason Westcott. Officers claim they announced the warrant and proceeded to clear the house, when they encountered an armed Westcott pointing his gun at police. Officers proceeded to fatally shoot him. I knew what they were saying from the moment it happened was a lie, explained Patti Silliman, Westcotts mother. The stench of a police cover-up is strong in this case. Initially, police claimed that a neighbors complaints led to the raid. After further investigation revealed that information to be false, police then attempted to say that the information was from an undercover officer. Finally, after being pressed by a relentless investigation into the facts, police revealed they used a confidential informant. The fact that a young man with his whole life to live was killed by police, over a $2 dollars worth of a plant, is a direct statement on the absurdity of the War on Drugs. The practice of trusting the word of individuals who have a vested interest in alleviating their own criminal charges is a practice that is contrary to the highest ideals of justice.

3	The Vote You Missed: TTIP Moves Closer to RealityWhile most of Europe had their eyes and ears on the financial situation in Greece, a controversial trade deal that would affect all of the European Union was being negotiated. The resolution approved on Wednesday is designed to fix ISDS by creating a system where the jurisdiction of courts of the EU and of the member states is respected, and where private interests cannot undermine public policy objectives. As with the TPP in America, the European Union Parliament is powerless to change the TTIPthey can only approve or reject the agreement. The Independent reported that the vote did little to inflict positive change on the ISDS: Still, E.U. Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrm trumpeted the vote as an achievement, stating, Following the vote, the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) said that the resolution fails to address the threat to public health and environmental laws in the EU posed by TTIP, and it ignores a growing chorus of voices that have raised concerns about this risk. In April, Reuters reported that a recent YouGov poll showed that 43 percent of Germans believe TTIP would be bad for the country, compared to 26 percent who see it as positive. The numbers seem to represent discontent across the E.U.. Recently, the town of St. Gilles in Brussels adopted a resolution criticizing ISDS, also voting to declare itself a TTIP free zone. In April, thousands of activists across Germany and other E.U. member-states rallied against the TTIP. What are the activists worried about? Much of the fear around the TPP and TTIP seems to be related to fear of national laws being overridden by international bodies, or nations being forced to accept products from other nations who are also signatories to the treaties. But is there any truth to these fears? In late May, The Independent reported that the TTIP was being used to force American pesticides onto the European Union. It seems like these free trade deals are designed to strip individual nations of their resources and empower global governmental institutions. If the people of the world want to have a choice in their food, privacy, and freedom, now would be a good time to spread the word about the dangers associated with the TTIP and the TPP. But spreading the word is only one part of this resistance. If future generations are to know what freedom means we must actively build the new world we wish to see. What is the TPP? The TTIP? Find out in the video below: Derrick Broze writes for theAntiMedia.org, where this article first appeared. Tune in! Anti-Media Radio airs Monday through Friday @ 11pm Eastern/8pm Pacific. Help us fix our typos: edits@theantimedia.org. The TPP is Treason against the American people, against the US Constitution. Anyone who serves within any US government involved in any way with the TPP are Traitors. Everyone who is in anyway involved needs to be arrested, HELD for prosecution, and if found guilty the death penalty administered to them. There is nothing worse then a traitor. I disagree. May I suggest Guantanamo Bay after the US is ejected and it given it back to its rightful owner, Cuba. The Cubans will be paid of course, for keeping the historic nature of the prison going and Im sure they would relish the prospect! After all, its only 1% weve got to accommodate! gubbers the world over are bought and paid for call this what it is- FASCISM. 
1	Responding to the ongoing protests from millions of Muslims over the depictions of the Prophet Muhammad, American television channel Nick Jr. announced today it was suspending production on its forthcoming childrens program The Almighty Muhammads Porkalicious Toon Jihad. The half-hour animated television show, which centers around the wacky Jihadist adventures of the Islamic prophet and his mischievous pig friend Abrahammy, was slated to begin airing this October. At this time, our company believes it is best to temporarily remove The Almighty Muhammads Porkalicious Toon Jihad from Nick Jr.s fall programming schedule, Viacom executive Todd Coates said. While we still believe that thousands of young viewers would really enjoy seeing Muhammad go on his weekly pilgrimages to his big bacon mosque with his rabbi friends Hershel and Moishe, our company nonetheless believes its best to indefinitely postpone the shows release. This isnt to say Porkalicious Toon Jihad will never see the light of day, Coates added. Hopefully, when the international climate is slightly less volatile, children will be able to enjoy all of Muhammads hijinks, especially in the episode Weeee! Muhammad, in which he takes his yearly hajj to Mecca Land by sliding down the Magical Chute of Greasy Bacon Fat. Members of the shows staff told reporters that the surprise cancellation comes just as they had completed 12 out of the shows 24 episodes, including a very special Eid-ul-Fitr Porktacular, in which the prophet learns to get along with his infidel enemies after they teach him how to truly enjoy the beach by surfing on a Quran. Showrunners also regretted that children would not be introduced to the programs beloved character Allah, who in the cartoon is portrayed as Muhammads attractive cool babysitter, whom the young prophet is constantly trying to impress. The show might sound a little controversial, but I think after watching it people will get that Porkalicious Toon Jihad is just a big fun time, show creator Matt Radnor told reporters. Personally, I think the episode where Muhammad and Allah learn to work with Satan to pull off the Medina Town Fair is quite uplifting. At press time, Mattel announced it had also halted production on thousands of the Almighty Muhammad promotional items, including clothes, lunch boxes, and a kit that would allow children to dress up a plastic figurine Muhammad in more than 17 different types of pig-based accessories. 
1	In a turn of events sources described as completely coincidental in every way, the new intern at the consulting firm Marcus, McMahon, and Grieg, in addition to being the most qualified candidate for the position, also just happens be a gorgeous 22-year-old woman, reports confirmed Tuesday. Shes a real gemsmart as a whip, and so full of energy and life, consultant James Pratt said of Melody Kestrel, who was selected for the yearlong internship at the upscale midtown Manhattan firm and who follows in the footsteps of four equally stunning, but also uniquely qualified, young women to hold the position since 2008. She came in here and she just nailed the interview. Frankly, I was impressed with her the minute she walked through the door. According to reports, the stylish, fit 5-foot-10 Kestrel was chosen as the best candidate for the job over four coincidentally less attractive 22-year-old women, an unattractive 23-year-old woman, and six men. Sources at the firm described her as a a really hard worker, saying she really fits in at the office well, has a great attitude, and picks things up fast. Although at one point there were doubts as to whether she would be selected for the internshipshe was neck and neck, according to human resources coordinator Dale Froley, with another highly qualified young woman who was, by pure happenstance, slightly less attractiveFroley feels confident he made the right choice in deciding on Kestrel. Its good to get involved with the interns, figure out what makes them tick, so they can get the most out of their experience here, said Froley, adding that he is considering implementing a professional mentor program with the interns in which they would meet with their staff supervisor several times a week for one-on-one face time. I think its important, especially for a senior staffer like me, to spend time with Melody and show her the ropes of the business. Maybe four or five times throughout the duration of the internship, Froley said. Go out for coffee. Get away from the pressures of the office. Some within the office have even gone so far as to agree that Scotts not doing so good in the facility coordinator position and, come to think of it, Kestrel might make a better fit than Scott. Melodys great, I really like her, said Marcus, McMahon, and Greig partner Frank Waldorf, who fails to remember the name of any intern who is not a sexually attractive 22-year-old woman. She would do great here on a full-time basis after her internships upshe just really clicks around here. I hope we hire her. Bill McMahon, company CEO, said he saw the potential of the woman who, though it bears no relation to her recent hiring, is an absolute stunner, and whom he regularly engages in friendly chitchat when he runs into her at the buildings fitness center. Quite simply, shes the kind of person we like to see around here, said McMahon, who regularly sends Kestrel encouraging e-mails in which he asks how shes liking the office and tells her not to be afraid to ask questions because [his] door is always open. I let her know that if she ever needs help, Ill be here to talk. Young people like herself who shows an interest in the business worldwell, if I can help give them a boost, Im happy to do it. Sources also reported that, through a complete fluke, all three partners of Marcus, McMahon, and Grieg just happen to be middle-aged white males. 
1	Despite a pleasant two-minute chat following a chance encounter at a local restaurant over the weekend, coworkers Ned Haines and Rupert Walford greeted each other at the office Monday with little more than a cursory nod, sources at TexTech Solutions reported. Hey, man, Haines said as he passed Walford in the hallway, his tone and expression betraying no sign that the pair had for the first time ever run into each other outside of work and engaged in a friendly exchange about their weekend plans, their wives, and their children. Hey, answered Walford, as though he in some way regretted the one moment of relative intimacy in their two-year-old work relationship. Experts predicted that the incident would never be spoken of again, with conversations between the pair actually becoming even more strained for the next six weeks or so. 
2	School Filing Racial Discrimination Against Students Who Refuse Muslim Education Parents of students at Littleton Green Community School were outraged after they found out that if their children decided not to attend a controversial field trip, they would be officially deemed racist. The trip was to a religious workshop about the Muslim faith, and administration warned that a racial discrimination note would be added to the students school records, should they fail to join. As to be expected, parents did not take the information lightly, especially since the class consisted of children as young as eight years old. I was shocked by the letter. To be told my kids have got to attend this workshop is disgusting, said Tracy Ward, a mother of four. Everyone should have a choice but thats my opinion and I dont want a stain on my kids record as a result. To be told we had to pay for the trip as well was just a kick in the teeth, added another parent. How dare they threaten to brand the children racist at such a young age. Its going to make them feel like little criminals. Afraid of the disturbance theyd caused, the school quickly retracted their statement, saying instead that it was important for children to learn about cultures and religions other than their own. What do you think of the schools comments? What would you do if you were a parent there?

2	U.S. Navy Takes Massive Stand Against Obama... Theyve Had Enough Throughout his eight years as President, Barack Obama has shown a blatant disregard for our military. Time and time again, he has demonstrated that he has no appreciation for its traditions. Earlier this year, he ordered the United States Navy to scrub man from all job designations in an effort to be politically correct. As we achieve full integration of the force, this is an opportunity to update the position titles and descriptions themselves to demonstrate through this language that women are included in these positions, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said in a statement. Of course, there was immediately backlash from all levels of the Navy about how a centuries-old tradition was being destroyed. More than 100,000 people signed a petition to have the decision overturned. Finally, the Navy investigated Obamas plan and ordered that the previous titles be restored. We have learned from you, and so effective immediately, all rating names are restored, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson declared. The feedback from current and former sailors has been consistent that there is wide support for the flexibility that the plan offers, but the removal of rating titles detracted from accomplishing our major goals. I underestimated how fiercely loyal people were to their rating. What do you think? Do you applaud the Navys decision?

'I can't believe how fast things move on the outside,' said Barkley, who sat on a park bench feeding birds as he recalled the respect he received from fellow inmates during his time as the jail's librarian. 'Bagging groceries is difficult work, and I try to keep up, but my hands hurt most of the time, probably from my basketball days. I don't think the store manager likes me very much.

The show was a huge success and has even had a few reunion shows. She has been working in film and television since 1982 and has starred in an endless amount of shows and movies. Her entire family and fan base loves her. She has been nominated for a few awards but has never won. She is a working actress to this day and is an amazing person. So when I heard about this news I shed a tear for her. Shannen Doherty has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She is suffering like many other women. Breast cancer is a terrible disease and no one deserves it. Shannen went onto Dr. Oz to discuss her situation with the Doctor. She says that it has been extremely hard but what she most cares about are the people she loves. As long as they are all ok she can be happy. Right now Shannen is expecting to have a major surgery. She did not specify which surgery she will be having, but I am guessing it will be a double mastectomy. She says she will gladly get rid of her boobs if it means she will grow old. Any woman who suffers from breast cancer is truly inspirational. They show immense strength and courage. Breast cancer is a terrible thing to suffer from and it takes a lot out of anyone who is suffering. Luckily, Shannen has an amazing support group of her friends and family. She will not be dealing with this illness alone. She is unbelievably thankful for everyones thoughts and prayers. Right now she is focused on beating the cancer. She did say it has been hard to find a job because of the stigma that comes with breast cancer. People think she wont be able to remember lines or come to the set. That is wrong. Will you send your prayers?

2	FBI Makes Major Announcement About Hillary Clinton Investigation... Its Happening Hillary Clinton has made it pretty clear that she has not been taking the FBI investigation into her emails seriously. Its obvious that she was likely hoping it would just go away. The Los Angeles Times made it pretty clear that is not going to happen, when they reported this week that investigators with the FBI are setting up interviews with Hillarys top aides, indicating that their investigation is nearing toward a conclusion. Interviews with Hillarys aides will be a crucial part of the investigation, helping to determine her true use of a private server to handle confidential government information. The interviews are critical to understand the volume of information they have accumulated, James McJunkin, former head of the FBIs Washington office told reporters. They are likely nearing the end of the investigation and the agents need to interview these people to put the information in context. They will then spend time aligning these statements with other information, emails, classified documents, etc., to determine whether there is a prosecutable case. Still, some are doubtful that Obamas Justice Department will let Hillary be charged. Others argue that the FBI could be compelled to leak information if shes not. I have friends that are in the FBI and they tell me theyre ready to indict, former House Majority Leader Tom Delay told reporters at the beginning of this year. One way or another, either shes going to be indicted and that process begins, or we try her in the public eye with her campaign. One way or another shes going to have to face these charges. What do you think? Could Hillary finally get whats been coming to her? 
2	89 Year Old WWII Veteran Beaten To Death By Thugs One thing is becoming increasingly clear about President Barack Obamahe certainly picks and chooses his causes. Unfortunately, the same thing could be said for the mainstream media. Where are the reports about the white 89-year-old World War II veteran who died recently after being attacked by two black teenagers outside of his lodge in Spokane, Washington. Delbert Belton, nicknamed Shorty served our country. He was injured at the Battle of Okinawa fighting in our honor. He should have died of old age. He should have been honored as a hero. Instead, he died after suffering from head injuries that resulted from the attack. Authorities received a call about the assault and found the victim sitting in his car. Reporters quoted witnesses saying that two black male suspects attacked Belton as he was entering the lodge to play pool. Authorities are looking for the two possible suspects, who are believed to be between 16 and 19. What do you think? Does Belton deserve to be honored? Should this story be making headlines? 
3	CIA investing in research aimed at modifying the Earths climate for unknown reasonsMadison Ruppert Geoengineering is the practice of using highly experimental techniques to modify the climate of the Earth in various ways, something which researchers like Dane Wigington contend is highly dangerous. This particular 21-month-long study has a final report due in the fall of 2014 and was commissioned in concert with the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). The costs will be split between the NAS, CIA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and NASA, according to Mother Jones. The NAS website for the project specifically states that it has support from the National Academy of Sciences and the U.S. Intelligence Community. William Kearney, a spokesman for the NAS, told Mother Jones that the above phrase refers to the CIA. However, Edward Price, a CIA spokesman, would not confirm the notoriously secretive agencys role in the project. The study will reportedly focus on techniques like solar radiation management (SRM) and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) while commenting generally on the potential impacts of deploying these technologies, including possible environmental, economic, and national security concerns. Interestingly, the study will only briefly explore what individuals like Wigington would contend are major issues like potential societal and ethical considerations related to geoengineering, according to the NAS. Beyond the broad national security concerns outlined by the NAS, the real motivations of the CIA in funding such a project are unclear. The Verge points out that the CIA has reportedly played around with the environment in the past, even allegedly sprayed a French village with LSD in the 1950s. Separately, the US military has attempted to modify local weather for combat advantages and security, trying to create rain clouds during the Vietnam War that would turn a trail into mud, and experimenting with silver iodides effects on hurricanes, the Verge notes. Mother Jones rightly notes, The CIAs decision to fund scientific work on geoengineering will no doubt excite conspiracy theorists. Yet its not much of a theory to point out that the military has modified the climate in the past, as they outline in their article. Why would one expect the CIA to have some kind of altruistic end in mind when they spend money on geoengineering research? To hold to such a contention, one would be forced to simply abandon the entire stated mission of agencies like the CIA as well as their history.

3	Podesta: We Are Not Done Yet.By Jon Rappoport O the horror! The scream of agony. The scream came from many directions; the smarmy little cutsie editorial writers for the NY Times, emitted typical squeaks, which is all theyre capable ofthe Times should fire the lot of them, but of course the publishers are just as smarmy as they drown in red ink and their whole operation goes down. The Times liberal brothers and sisters in the liberal media screamed as well; but their sound was rooted in pathetic shockhow could the great unwashed have been so stupid when we know how to front for the masters of reality who actually run this planet and whats going to happen to our jobs and our paychecks and our reputation The pollsters screamed and contemplated jumping off rooftops after their rig-job with the numbers showed up as such a failure and their jobs are DEFINITELY on the line because the news networks dont like to get fooled and sit there with egg all over their faces The RNC screamed because they proudly deserted Trump and then the whole thing turned around and they were looking at a yawning abyss Young Demo voters and old hippie Demo voters screamed but mostly wept because their guaranteed utopia slipped away down the drain The massive turned-out trim of the federal bureaucracies gave voice to outraged grief as they examined their bank accounts and their pension guarantees But the scream that overrode all the other screams and seared the air from coast to coast was belted out by the queen vampire, Hillary Clinton, as her bottles of blood ran dry and her dealers phone number was suddenly no longer in service, as she lay on the floor of a quiet room with a wooden stake through her heart, as the dawn came up, blinding her, after her final try for the White House exploded in a vaporous cloud of dead leeching insects, as a million lifetimes of inflicting suffering on others culminated in a gross indignity O the horror! Wholl get the rights to the blockbuster movie? CRY FOR ME, AMERICA. Then she whispers: We can still torpedo the economy and start a war before he gets inaugurated. Riots in cities. Blame it all on Trump. Wheres Podesta? Wheres Huma? Bill wanders into the room. I told you, sweetie, he says, this could end up in disaster if you ran for President. You and I could make a deal now. If I pull the stake out of your heart and get you some blood, I start calling the shots. We have a lot of money we need to transfer through a whole bunch of banks. We need to disappear for a while Hillary groans. I never should have married you, she coughs. Bill laughs. Sure, and youd be at Yale running lame seminars and teaching little kiddies to protest Halloween costumes. Hillary lies there and stares at the ceiling. Okay, she mumbles. Its a deal, Bill. But of course she doesnt really mean it. Shes planning her comeback. I can do this, she murmurs. This is nothing. I was under sniper fire on the tarmac at the Tuzla Air in Bosnia, in 96. Dont you remember? Bill says. That was lie number 76,549 you told. Hillary gathers her strength. It happened because I say it happened. Now pull this stake out and get me some blood, you oaf Bill shrugs, takes out his cell phone, and calls an unlisted number in midtown Manhattan. Weve had another accident, he says.

3	UN Mute Over NATOs Syrian Death SquadsUNs silence over Syrian opposition terrorism lays bare the illegitimacy of international law. Since 2011, reports of arsonists and gunmen amongst Syrias opposition have been included in reports regarding the unrest in Syria, albeit buried under sensational headlines of the Syrian governments brutality. More recently, Human Rights Watch (HRW) has conceded that indeed the Syrian opposition Free Syrian Army is conducting widespread, systematic abuses including the kidnapping, torture, and murder of both security forces and civilians. The HRW report titled, Syria: Armed Opposition Groups Committing Abuses, is broken into three parts; kidnapping, torture, and executions. And while the report attempts to focus mainly on atrocities carried out against security forces and government supporters, the mention of civilian victims is made as well. The report states: Abuses include kidnapping, detention, and torture of security force members, government supporters, and people identified as members of pro-government militias, called shabeeha. Human Rights Watch has also received reports of executions by armed opposition groups of security force members and civilians. Now, almost daily, the Syrian opposition is carrying out vicious attacks not only on security forces, but a terrorist bombing campaign across Syria that has already killed and maimed scores of civilians. While the Syrian opposition claims it lacks the ability to carry out such attacks, the opposition is exposed as very well armed, their fighters sheltered in NATO member Turkey, its leadership sheltered in Washington and London, and their fighters wielding not only an endless supply of small arms, but rocket propelled grenades, mortars, missiles, and even tanks. Additionally, listed terror organizations such as Al Qaedas Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), recently armed, supported, and literally handed control of Libya by NATO, has publicly met with leaders of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and pledged arms, cash, and fighters. Just last week, a ship originating from Libya carrying weapons was interdicted by the Lebanese, en route to deliver its cargo to Syrias rebels. Now in the midst of an alleged peace deal being brokered by the UNs Kofi Annan a deal that is admittedly designed to buy time for rebels to regroup, rearm, and redeploy according to US corporate-financier policy think-tank the Brookings Institution, the rebels have openly rejected the plan and demonstratively continue on with a campaign of terroristic violence. Image: Brookings Institutions Middle East Memo #21 Assessing Options for Regime Change (.pdf), makes no secret that the humanitarian responsibility to protect is but a pretext for long-planned regime change. The Syrian government has claimed it has documented a long list of ceasefire violations by the rebels a list that is confirmed daily in headlines from across the biased Western media, still attempting to depict the violence as one-sided. There are sea-raids carried out at night with the precision of Western special forces, terror bombings against civilian targets admittedly carried out by rebels, and now a daily campaign of bombs so overt and atrocious, even the Western corporate media must now acknowledge a shift in tactics. A recent Reuters article titled Outgunned Syria rebels make shift to bombs, includes admissions from the rebels themselves that they are behind the spat of bombings ravaging Syria bombs the Western press and opposition leaders had previously tried to blame on false flag attacks carried out by the Syrian government to undermine the rebels legitimacy.The Reuters article concedes that while the FSA officially is upholding the UN truce, its fighters have outright rejected it and are indeed openly in violation of the ceasefire. The Reuters report also confirms Syrian President Bashar al-Assads statement that his security forces were fighting armed militants not protesters and civilians in security operations across Syria before the UN ceasefire came into effect. The reports states: Since the army routed them from their strongholds in cities, some rebels said they realized that even in guerrilla street battles they could not beat Assads tanks or artillery. The Syrian Liberation Armys spokesman Qdemati said his groups fighters were now focusing most of their attention on manufacturing facilities for bombs. You are going to start seeing an escalation as we improve our techniques of bomb-making and delivery. Not only does this confirm that the Syrian rebels have resorted to indiscriminate terrorist tactics, but reveals again that government claims that an explosion in the city of Hama that killed 70, devastating much of a city block, was in fact a mishap at a rebel bomb-making facility. BBC amazingly attempted to peddle the oppositions explanation, claiming the Syrian government possibly fired a SCUD missile at the city. Now, however, all pretenses have been dropped and it is admitted that the Syrian rebels are manufacturing and deploying indiscriminate bomb devices nationwide. The Syrian rebels have been noted as terrorists, both foreign and domestic since nearly the beginning of the fighting last year by the alternative media. The Western press has attempted to obfuscate this fact for as long as possible, already irreparably undermining their own legitimacy in the process. The UN, NATO, and complicit media outlets across the West, by contradicting a growing awareness of the reality of both the terroristic nature of the Syrian rebels, and the depth of deceit directed against the global public in regards to the conflict in Syria since the beginning, undermines entirely the legitimacy they and the international law they claim to uphold, have. In regards to Libya, US think-tank the Brookings Institution openly stated that it was about asserting the primacy of international law over the nation-state. When such gross injustices, deceit, and hypocrisy exist under international law in both Libya and now Syria, it is clear that such international law is but a system of control exercised by a minority against others on a global scale. International law is revealed as merely the neo-imperial edicts of the global corporate-financier oligarchs, dressed up as humanitarian concerns even as they prop up terrorists from Libya to Syria, and beyond. Even as the UN begins to admit that indeed the Syrian rebels are in violation of the ceasefire, they only do so as the violence runs demonstratively rampant and out of control. Photo: It must be remembered, that not only are Syrias rebels committing horrific atrocities amidst an admittedly terroristic campaign against the Syrian people, they do so with arms, funding, equipment, training, and political support from the Friends of Syria cadre including the US, UK, France, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. Unfortunately, the UN will not demand an end to, or even mention the Wests support of the Syrian rebels, and instead use the violence to continue with their original plan the establishment of humanitarian corridors and safe zones by armed NATO troops. From these established zones, the rebels can continue their campaign of violence against the Syrian people in pursuit of dividing and destroying Syria as a sovereign nation-state, in line not with international law, but in the interests of Western imperial ambitions. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	Waitress Gets Pic With George W. And Laura, Then Makes SICKENING Move They Didnt Expect A young waitress named Leisa Smith is facing immense backlash after a disturbing tweet she posted on her private account. After receiving a $40 tip from former President George W. Bush and snapping a photo with him and Laura, Smith shared the photo on her Twitter account with a disgusting caption. bush did 911 but he did me a solid and left me hella tip #, she tweeted last Tuesday, just moments after the former president left the restaurant. According to reports, the tweet immediately sparked outrage. People were shocked that the millennial could be so ungrateful and ignorant. Bush didnt do 9/11, terrorists did, one angry Twitter user commented. Smith eventually removed the tweet, and replaced it with an attempt at an apology. She claimed she meant the tweet as a sarcastic joke and that she never intended to make light of 9/11 or the many Americans who lost their lives on that day. In an interview with Mic.com this weekend, she added that she was trying to mimic a meme she frequently sees on Twitter. I have a couple of friends that use the meme a lot and they were the only ones I was expecting to see the tweet, she commented. I was just trying to get a laugh out of my friends but I in no way actually believe the conspiracy. While this might be an innocent mistake, its too little too late for Smith, who has already received quite the tongue lashing from the American public. What do you think of Smiths tweet? 
2	91 Year Old Man Blasts Thugs When They Tried To Attack Him A 91-year-old Michigan man had just left his vehicle to walk into the Rite Aid in Eastpointe when a strange man approached him, behaving erratically. He appeared to be following him. The older man told him that he had a license to have a concealed firearm. He hoped this would scare him off, but instead the man pointed an unknown object at him. Instantly, the Senior citizen feared for his safety. In his defense, he fired at the man and struck him in the neck. The stranger was terrified, and started to run away. Authorities apprehended him across the street and took him to the hospital to be treated for his wound. The Senior citizen followed a good protocol. When he noticed the stranger, he first warned him that he was armed. When the man did not retreat, he acted. He also paid attention to the reactionary gap and thought through how effectively he could react in the situation. Watch the full report below and tell us what you think. Do you applaud this man for standing up for himself and refusing to be a target? 
3	20 Signs That The U.S. Economy Is Heading For Big Trouble In The Months AheadMichael Snyder In many ways, what we are going through right now feels very similar to 2008 before the crash happened. Back then the warning signs of economic trouble were very obvious, but our politicians and the mainstream media insisted that everything was just fine, and the stock market was very much detached from reality. When the stock market did finally catch up with reality, it happened very, very rapidly. Sadly, most people do not appear to have learned any lessons from the crisis of 2008. Americans continue to rack upstaggering amounts of debt, and Wall Street is more reckless than ever. As a society, we seem to have concluded that 2008 was just a temporary malfunction rather than an indication that our entire system was fundamentally flawed. In the end, we will pay a great price for our overconfidence and our recklessness. So what will the rest of 2013 bring? Hopefully the economy will remain stable for as long as possible, but right now things do not look particularly promising. #1 Freight shipment volumes have hit their lowest level in two years, and freight expenditures have gone negative for the first time since the last recession. #2 The average price of a gallon of gasoline has risen by more than 50 cents over the past two months. This is making things tougher on our economy, because nearly every form of economic activity involves moving people or goods around. #3 Readers Digest, once one of the most popular magazines in the world, has filed for bankruptcy. #4 Atlantic Citys newest casino, Revel, has just filed for bankruptcy. It had been hoped that Revel would help lead a turnaround for Atlantic City. #5 A state-appointed review board has determined that there is no satisfactory plan to solve Detroits financial emergency, and many believe that bankruptcy is imminent. If Detroit does declare bankruptcy, it will be the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history. #6 David Gallagher, the CEO of Town Sports International, recently said that his company is struggling right now because consumers simply do not have as much disposable income anymore As we moved into January membership trends were tracking to expectations in the first half of the month, but fell off track and did not meet our expectations in the second half of the month. We believe the driver of this was the rapid decline in consumer sentiment that has been reported and is connected to the reduction in net pay consumers earn given the changes in tax rates that went into effect in January. #7 According to the Conference Board, consumer confidence in the U.S. has hit its lowest level in more than a year. #8 Sales of the Apple iPhone have been slower than projected, and as a result Chinese manufacturing giant Foxconn has instituted a hiring freeze. The following is from a CNET report that was posted on Wednesday The Financial Times noted that it was the first time since a 2009 downturn that the company opted to halt hiring in all of its facilities across the country. The publication talked to multiple recruiters. The actions taken by Foxconn fuel the concern over the perceived weakened demand for the iPhone 5 and slumping sentiment around Apple in general, with production activity a leading indicator of interest in the product. #9 In 2012, global cell phone sales posted their first decline since the end of the last recession. #10 We appear to be in the midst of a retail apocalypse. It is being projected that Sears, J.C. Penney, Best Buy and RadioShack will also close hundreds of stores by the end of 2013. #11 An internal memo authored by a Wal-Mart executive that was recently leaked to the press said that February sales were a total disaster and that the beginning of February was the worst start to a month I have seen in my ~7 years with the company. #12 If Congress does not do anything and sequestration goes into effect on March 1st, the Pentagon says that approximately 800,000 civilian employees will be facing mandatory furloughs. #13 Barack Obama is admitting that the sequester could have a crippling impact on the U.S. economy. The following is from a recentCNBC article Obama cautioned that if the $85 billion in immediate cuts known as the sequester occur, the full range of government would feel the effects. Among those he listed: furloughed FBI agents, reductions in spending for communities to pay police and fire personnel and teachers, and decreased ability to respond to threats around the world. People will lose their jobs, he said. The unemployment rate might tick up again. #14 If the sequester is allowed to go into effect, the CBO is projecting that it will cause U.S. GDP growth to go down by at least 0.6 percent and that it will reduce job growth by 750,000 jobs. #15 According to a recent Gallup survey, 65 percent of all Americans believe that 2013 will be a year of economic difficulty, and 50 percent of all Americans believe that the best days of America are now in the past. #16 U.S. GDP actually contracted at an annual rate of 0.1 percentduring the fourth quarter of 2012. This was the first GDP contraction that the official numbers have shown in more than three years. #17 For the entire year of 2012, U.S. GDP growth was only about 1.5 percent. According to Art Cashin, every time GDP growth has fallen this low for an entire year, the U.S. economy has always ended up going into a recession. #18 The global economy overall is really starting to slow down The worlds richest countries saw their economies contract for the first time in almost four years during the final three months of 2012, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development said. The Paris-based thinktank said gross domestic product across its 34 member states fell by 0.2% breaking a period of rising activity stretching back to a 2.3% slump in output in the first quarter of 2009. All the major economies of the OECD the US, Japan, Germany, France, Italy and the UK have already reported falls in output at the end of 2012, with the thinktank noting that the steepest declines had been seen in the European Union, where GDP fell by 0.5%. Canada is the only member of the G7currently on course to register an increase in national output. #19 Corporate insiders are dumping enormous amounts of stockright now. Do they know something that we dont? 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.

3	They Kidnapped Our Child: Why CPS Needs Transparency NowReason TV 
1	Bearing facial expressions ranging from goofy to adoring, dog owners from across the U.S. gathered in the nation's capital Monday, demanding to know who's a good boy. National Doggy Appreciation Society president June Erhardt. 'Who's a good boy?' asked National Doggy Appreciation Society president June Erhardt, speaking before an estimated 300 canines ranging from border collie to schnauzer. 'Who? Who?' Added Erhardt: 'Is it you? Is it you?' Despite its consensus on overall dog adorableness, the dog-loving community remains sharply divided on the question of who is a good boy. Some say the answer is 'Such a good boy, yes.' Others contend the good boy 'needs his belly rubbed, yes, oh yes.' Still other factions maintain that the only good boy is 'my special little snuffy-snuffers, the bestest of all the best boys there is.' With canine-cuddliness levels at an all-time high and adorability-boosting ribbons and chew toys plentiful at pet stores across the nation, no resolution to the good-boy-identity issue appears to be on the horizon. 'The dog owners of this country still have a great many questions that require answers,' said Indianapolis NDAS delegate Janine Mulhern. 'Who is, in fact, my favorite little guy? Who, for that matter, has a fuzzy little tummy-wummy? And, perhaps most importantly, who wants to go outside?' 'Outside? Outside?' continued Mulhern, rattling a leash in her outstretched hand. 'These are issues that must be addressed. Our high-pitched, cutesy-wutesy voices will not be silenced.' Lebanon, PA, dog Sneakers, who is believed to be a very good boy. According to the results of a recent NDAS 'Who's A Good Boy?' survey, dog owners are split roughly into three camps, with 40 percent favoring 'What a pretty, pretty, pretty boy' and 31 percent holding that 'You're such a puppy!' The final 29 percent argued that the correct answer is, 'You are such a stinker, a stinker, a stinky-dinky-dinker!' The NDAS survey did not, however, include members of The Pat-Pat League, an extremist group that wants entirely non-verbal resolutions to the issue, including play-wrestling, head-rubbing, fur-tousling, chin-scritching, and even great big hugs. 'The question of precisely who is a good boy is of fundamental importance to millions of Americans, many of whom pose this query to their loved ones several times a day,' said Marvin Sidowsky, an Atlanta-area veterinarian. 'In fact, they may even find themselves asking it several times in quick succession while dangling a rawhide chew stick in the air. Clearly, it's high time we had an answer.' 'Right, Bogey? Right, Bogey?' said Sidowsky, rubbing noses with his Yorkshire terrier. 'Oh, no... oh, no... No, no, no, no, no. No no no no no no no no no no. Nononononononononono.' 'Awwwwww,' concluded Sidowsky, wrapping Bogey in a baby-blue terrycloth towel and cradling him like an infant. Despite the differences of opinion, dog owners remain optimistic that the good-boy question can be resolved. 'Don't worry, it's okay,' said Anita Perlich, Columbia, SC, NDAS chapter president and owner of four Irish setters. 'There's nothing to be scared of.' Addressing reporters from a dog-hair-covered couch in her D.C. townhouse, Erhardt stressed the need for calm. 'Nothing to worry about... Uncle Joe always does that. Uncle Joe! Down, boy! Down, boy! Down!' 'He's just excited,' continued Erhardt, stressing the need for a positive outlook. 'He's not used to new people, that's all. Uncle Joe! Get off the nice man!' 
2	Pope Francis To Resign In 2016... And Heres The Reason Why During his recent visit to the United States, Pope Francis rocked the boat when he demonstrated his willingness to push President Obamas political agenda. The Pope shocked the nation when he used his visit to lecture Americans about immigration, abortion, gay marriage, and refugees. Now, its been revealed that Pope Francis may intend to resign next year after he visits his home country of Argentina. The Popes visit marks the bicentennial of the 1816 Argentine Declaration of Independence. The Popes resignation comes after he has been marked as one of the most controversial leaders in the papacy. Pope Francis has caused quite the stir by supporting things like gay marriage, and unconventional family values. Conservative bishops have accused him of alienating traditional Catholics in an attempt to be liberal. 
3	UK Banking Industry Most Unstable in G7 Implements Depositor Bail-in SchemeBy Graham Vanbergen The first paragraph stated Shares and stocks are tumbling around the world, with investors worried that the next global crisis has already begun. There is considerable uncertainty and nervousness amongst economists and trend forecasters. Governments sooth jittery markets with misinformation in the hope that confidence does not evaporate and their legitimacy with it. On the first day of 2016 all banks located within the EU follow the Anglosphere nations of Britain, America, Australia, New Zealand and Canada into an agreement, where the next bank failure and bail-in could cost depositorsall theirmoney. Think it wont happen. Six years after the last financial calamity caused by reckless bankers aided by negligentpoliticians in late 2014,one in five European banks failed basic stress tests that would see bankruptcy on the first hint of trouble. What did they need to get past that stress test? Twenty four thousand million euros. One should not forget that the Bank of Cypruspassed its stress test with flying colours just before it crashed and burned. That bail-out and bail-in came in at 23 billion to the taxpayer but it also took 47.5% of depositors money over 100k as well. Think it wont happen to British Banks? This from the Financial Times: The Bank of Englands stress tests of the banking sector have been attacked as fatally flawed for setting hurdles that are too easy to clear and giving false comfort about the safety of the financial system. A report published by the Adam Smith Institute, a free market think-tank, calls for the BoE annual stress tests to be scrapped, arguing they are worse than useless because they disguise weakness in the UK banking system. The BoE has said that banks will be required to meet a minimum 3 per cent leverage ratio to pass 2015 tests. If it had done so in 2014s tests, half the banks would have failed: Lloyds Banking Group, Royal Bank of Scotland, the Co-op Bank and Santander UK. An article in right-wingThe Telegraph, opined Punishing the banking industry punishes the UK as a whole where it postulates that in 2014 the banking industry contributed over 30bn to the treasury. What this article fails to say is that half of that tax paid was employee taxation, and only 1.6bn paid as corporation tax. for the entire industry. Dont forget that banks are still paying billions in fines, used to offset even more tax contributions. Five of the biggest banking corporations in the world paid no tax on its UK operations, whilst many others paid very little, their contribution to an austerity ridden nationcaused by their malicious and egregious abuses being next to nothing. Labour MP, John Mann, said: The tax receipts from these large financial institutions show what a charade their claim to pay their fair share has become. They rely on the taxpayer to underwrite their risk, yet they pay a minimal return back to the exchequer. Since our article barely four months ago, the outlookfor banking has got a lot worse and more risky. Banks have returned to the same markets that causedthe crash; interest-only mortgages, zero-percent credit cards and what they now term credit impaired products or sub-prime to you and me. Consumer credit reached pre-crisis levels last summer and shows no sign of abating. Mortgage providers are engaged in a rate-war with nearly 200 providers requiring just 5% deposits. In 2008, derivatives exposure bankrupted Lehman Brothers in a $600 billion bankruptcy case that clocked in as the largest bankruptcy filing since the beginning of time. What was it that toppled the almighty Lehman Brothers the effects ofcontagion. As theeconomiccollapseblog reports, there are now five too big to fail banks in the United States that each have exposure to derivatives contracts that is in excess of 30 trillion dollars and overall, the biggest U.S. banks collectively have more than 247 trillion dollars of exposure to derivatives contracts. Globally, the notional value of all outstanding derivatives contracts is a staggering 552.9 trillion dollars according to the Bank for International Settlements. All of these banks have offices in the UK. From The Guardian The risk of the global economy being battered by a perfect storm in 2016 has been highlighted by the World Bank in a flagship report that warns that a synchronised slowdown in the biggest emerging markets could be intensified by a fresh bout of financial turmoil. The BBC The UK faces a cocktail of serious threats from a slowing global economy as 2016 begins, Chancellor George Osborne has warned.Speaking in Cardiff, Mr Osborne said this year is likely to be one of the toughest since the financial crisis.He told business leaders that far from mission accomplished on the economy, 2016 is the year of mission critical. This is the same George Osborne who boastedBritains economic miracle due to his stewardship that we now all realise was built on nothing more than a mountain ofdebtwith a housing market completely supported by government interventions to stop an impending crash. And when (not if, as no bubble in history has ever done anything except deflate) that happens, who will bail-out the banks? George Osborne saw to that one by reducing the government guarantee on bank deposits from 85,000 to 75,000 just six months ago then became one of the main architects of the new bail-in regime with the Americans to ensure depositors are on the hook for all this mismanagement and malfeasance if anything goes wrong. And how wrong do the experts get it? From ThisIsMoney Britains financial website of the year, predicted However, as we approach 2016 with much of the major monetary policies on a relatively stable path, there is a feeling that the unpredictability of 2015 may ease in 2016. What actually happened was that more than 85billion has been wiped off the value of Britains biggest firms in the worst ever recorded start in history to the year for the UK stock market. The FTSE had already posted a very poor year end performance in 2015. Finally, National Economic Forum and neweconmics.org have confirmed through their Financial SystemReliance Index that the British banking system is the least resilient and therefore most risky banking system in the G7. According to the latest available data (2012), the NEF Financial Resilience Index gives the UK a resilience rating of just 27, lagging behind the US (56), Canada (62), Italy (63), France (66), Japan (71) and Germany (73). 2015 also saw the loss of 100,000 banking industry jobs with many more to come as a wave of layoffs continues with no sign of abating.This is the equivalent to 10% of the combined staff of the 11 big European and US banks that announced cuts. If anything happens in the banking sector Britain will be one of the first to feel its effects and your hard-earned, tax paid savings will be used to save them this time. Graham Vanbergen writes for truepublica.org.uk the sooner the zentral banking crumbles the sooner a thousand years of peace will follow.

3	How I Have Lived Fluoride Free for 9 Months, and Tips to Help You Do the SameAndrew Puhanic, Contributor The decision to undertake this exercise was based on a number of studies that concluded ingesting artificially derived fluoride has limited benefits and is hazardous. Other more recent studies suggest fluoride ingested at high levels can reduceintelligence. Considering that fluoride is added to drinking water supplies and is found in many products, the challenge I faced was not eliminating fluoride ingestion at home (that was easy), but trying to avoid it when eating out, visiting friends and when in places that dont provide fluoride free options. However, I have been successful living fluoride-free for nine months. Here are some tips for how you can remove fluoride from your diet. It was at least three weeks after committing to eliminate fluoride from my diet that I finally got myself into a routine. As I have discussed below, the hardest part was not trying to avoid fluoride at home, but avoiding fluoride at work, while visiting friends and family and while eating out at restaurants. After 9 months of trying to avoid fluoride, I found that the best way to avoid ingesting fluoride is by sticking to the following 6 principles: Considering that fluoride is added to water supplies, by controlling what you drink, you can eliminate 90% of your fluoride intake. Therefore, drinking bottled water or making sure your office water dispenser is fluoride free are the only ways to do this. Im based in Australia and buy bottled water made by Pureau. There are many affordable bottled water brands that also do not add fluoride to their water. Usually, if they add fluoride to their water, it should be stated. Those that dont add fluoride usually highlight this fact as a selling point on the bottle. Whenever you go out, almost everything you drink and eat will contain fluoride. I recommend avoiding soups, coffee, casseroles and anything else that is prepared using water. There are plenty of alternatives available, and these alternatives dont have to be the healthy options. A problem you may face is when consuming products that are preserved in a bottle or can. Most manufacturers wont label that the water they have used contains fluoride. I recommend sticking to the basics (food not processed). Be open and honest about your decision to avoid consuming fluoride. If your family and friends are aware of your initiative, then they will do everything they can to support you (especially when you are visiting for lunch or dinner). On occasion, you may get resistance or even harassed. Over the last 9 months, I found that facts always quash the emotive nature of people trying to put you down. If someone says Your wasting your time, I usually respond with a couple of facts about the risk Im trying to avoid. This usually shuts people up. : Try not to drastically change your diet or routine. Just like dieting, most people (including myself) dont stick to diets very well. At home, because you can control the type of water you use, there is no real need to change anything. The problem lies when you go out. One tip that has worked well for me is to stick to the basics (meat, vegetables, etc.) when ordering food or eating at a friends place. Dont go around forcing your initiative onto other people. Most people dont like being told what to do. Instead, lead by example and the others will follow. This initiative is relatively difficult and you will be better off focusing on your own efforts, rather than other people. Results, Observations and the Future Although 9 months is a relatively short time, since I made the decision to remove fluoride from my diet I am now much healthier, feel more alert, and my general well-being has improved. Overall, my oral health and hygiene is just as good as it was before I started this initiative. Because I now have to watch what I drink and eat, I have virtually eliminated all sugar-laden drinks from my diet, which has the added benefit of reducing the risk of tooth decay. One other observation I have made is that I feel much more alert. I cant scale exactly how much more alert I feel, but I can say that now I dont rely on coffee to achieve the same sensation. Ultimately, the foolproof way to completely eliminate fluoride from our diets is if the government is pressured to stop adding it to our drinking water. Unfortunately, for many countries and districts, this probably wont happen in the short to medium term. I hope my experiences with removing fluoride from my diet inspires you to make the same decision I did 9 months ago. To be honest, it was pretty easy; and if you take note of the above 6 principles I learnt, your journey to a fluoride-free life will be much easier.

Is it possible the reason that you feel so much better is not because you eliminated Fluoride from your diet, but because you cut out all the crappy shit from your diet? So eliminating soft drinks and other sugary foods and drinks contributed nothing toward you feeling healthier?! Rubbish, RO does remove fluoride. Nice Trolling. i stopped drinking tap water about 18 months ago and slowly the problem of 30 years of Horrendous headaches spinal and shoulder pain moving into the neck and head have all but disappeared. It is far more concentrated than in the water. you can try a water distiller. Maybe you need eat better, to supply some lack of minerals, 5 percent that you need is in the tap water. Ive bought some seeds. I will plant them as soon as i get. fungal growth ? So send filtered water with the kids in aluminum containers. If varnished inside, the food grade varnish will be a barrier to the aluminum, provided you dont habitually store acidic liquids inside Hitler did it Citation needed Do you trust the World Health? We buy the Pureau Water as well. After one week of drinking water with significantly less fluoride and using fluoride free toothpaste (hard to get water around my area without fluoride) my skin has improved dramatically(acne, rosacea, eczema) by 50-75%, problems i have been dealing with for 15 years! and thats just lowering my fluoride content. I can not believe how much fluoride effects me. its caused me to question everything about my health care. Growing up i had terrible growing pains that effected me from since i could remember to when i was 21. At 21 I read an article on growing pains and the positive effect magnesium has for growing pains. so i started taking magnesium supplements, and after a month or so no more growing pains. at the time i was also suffering from panic attacks that i would get daily, that also went away. Recently Ive been reading articles on the effects of fluoride and magnesium and how fluoride actually interferes in magnesium absorption. Bingo! the source of all my health problems. Its time to take fluoride OUT of our Water!! we have the right to chose what we put in our bodies Im very curious on how you were able to avoid fluoride while eating meat. Fluoride is up to %2oo greater in ppm in meat than in water. I would love to eat meat, I too am as fluoride free as possible. So where are you getting the fluoride free meat? Ive never found any outside of hunting, and Im not a hunter, myself. 
2	See Who Donald Trump Just Announced As The Person He Plans To Elect As Homeland Security Chief... Amazing Donald Trump has dominated headlines in the weeks following his campaign announcement. Although he was not taken seriously in the beginning, hes quickly crept into the leading candidate in the GOP race. Now, hes even announcing who he intends to appoint to various positions in the administration. This weekend, rumors indicated that Trump was seriously considering Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his Vice President. Now, it appears that Ann Coulter may be a candidate for his head of Homeland Security. I would like to be the head of Donald Trumps Homeland Security, Coulter commented. Were assimilating you, youre here and youre going to be an American. There will be no celebration of Cinco de Mayo, there will be no Ramadan, in fact there wont even be a Feast of the Immaculate Conceptionwe are an Anglo-Protestant country, and you will learn about the Battle of Valley Forge. What do you think? Would you like to see Ann Coulter as the head of Homeland Security? 
1	In a promotion aimed at encouraging people who like hockey to come and watch teams play the sport, the NHL held its first-ever Fan Attendance Night on Tuesday. 'We just wanted to get a little something back from our fans and show them that, hey, we exist,' said commissioner Gary Bettman, who added that the league was unable to find a sponsor for the event. 'We're having lots of great promotions on these special nights: Two for the Price of Two, Bring a Friend/Bring Another Friend, and Just Show Up. And everyone who comes receives their very own commemorative card-stock ticket to that game. So, yes, please come.' Bettman said he didn't think Fan Attendance Night had worked. 
2	Pilots Reveal That Obama Has Refused To Give Them Clearance On 75% Of Attacks On ISIS Over the past few months, President Barack Obama has been criticized for limiting military efforts to the benefit of the Islamic State group. Now, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee has come forward with claims that U.S. military pilots confirm that around 75 percent of their missions are halted because they cant get clearance. Rep. Ed Royce has argued that the Obama administration policy not to strike if there is any risk of collateral damage has likely added to that percentage, and in turn led to growth of ISIS where it could have been stopped. You went 12 full months while ISIS was on the march without the U.S. using that air power and now as the pilots come back to talk to us they say three-quarters of our ordnance we cant drop, Royce argued. We cant get clearance even when we have a clear target in front of us, he continued. I dont understand this strategy at all because this is what has allowed ISIS the advantage and ability to recruit. Army Gen. Jack Keane has also agreed with Royces assessment. This has been an absurdity from the beginning, Gen. Keane told reporters. The president personally made a statement that has driven air power from the inception. Keane also claims that when the policies were put in place, military experts explained that though we have the best capability in the world to protect from civilians casualties there is always that risk. No, you dont understand, Obama allegedly demanded. I want no civilian casualties. Zero. What the president fails to understand is that by not taking action, were putting more civilians in the hands of ISIS. The attack in Paris alone took 130 innocent lives. What do you think? Are you tired of Obama limiting the power of our men and women in uniform? 
2	Duck Dynasty To Be Cancelled After THIS Happened As the Season 7 of Duck Dynasty comes to a close, the question remains over whether the popular reality show was renewed for a Season 8 or cancelled by AE. The Season 7 finale is set to focus on Jep and Jessica, as they join a block party welcoming them to the new neighborhood. The show will also view Jeps health crisis, which is part of an ongoing series of problems he has been having since his seizure last fall. With Jeps health problems and the show taking a hit in ratings over controversy with Phil Robertson, fans question whether the show will be back for a Season 8. Still, Alan Robertson has previously reported that the family has a contract for the show through 2015, and some fans have reported that filming is already in progress. What do you think? Will there be a season 8 of Duck Dynasty?

'It's horrifying, there are three-foot wide pieces of popcorn ball everywhere,' said Midwesterner Emily Roberts, whose garage was leveled when powerful winds dropped Sac City, IA's record-breaking confection onto its roof. 'That damn popcorn ball used to be the pride of our city. It's so senseless.'

1	In response to small forward Grant Hill retiring after 19 seasons in the NBA, Americans across the country this week reportedly pondered how the telegenic, eloquent, and tremendously likeable Duke graduate will earn money now that his basketball career has concluded. Hopefully, theres some kind of opportunity out there for an insightful, highly regarded former professional basketball player who is good in front of the camera, said Detroit resident Trevor Bowman, expressing concerns that the charismatic NBA expert may not find an outlet for his talents. It would be perfect if he could get paid to talk about the NBA. Id definitely be interested in that. Maybe he should do a podcast or something. It sucks because an attractive, personable seven-time NBA All Star with a huge fanbase probably doesnt have a lot of options. At press time, executives at ESPN and TNT were reportedly worried about how a soft-spoken, rational-minded former basketball player would be able to find work. 
2	Amazon Just Betrayed America, Backs ISIS In The Most Sickening Way Possible Not long ago, Amazon took it upon themselves to ban the sale of Confederate flag merchandise. The move was met with outrage from many Americans who felt that a symbol of Southern history was being censored. It would be one thing if Amazon upheld its stance on symbols of slavery. But that couldnt be further from the case. As Pamela Gellar recently pointed out, the major online retailer is now selling ISIS drapery. No flag of the South, Gellar wrote. But these flagsflags of modern-day slaveryare easily purchased from Amazon. And ISIS drapery! So they have a policy on flags and iconography: American historybad. Jihad slaughter, gender apartheid, Islamic Jew-hatred, creed apartheidgood. These hunchbacks cant see their own hunch, she concluded. What do you think of this discovery? Do you agree with Gellar?

This includes everyone on the no fly list. His liberal legislature surely will not get in the way. Like all Americans, Ive been horrified by the recent terrorist attacks in California and Paris, Malloy said. This should be a wake-up call for all of us. This is a moment to seize here in America, and today Im here to say in Connecticut, we are seizing this moment. The governor knows full well that law-abiding Americans who pose no threat to national security are mistakenly on the terror watch list, the NRAs director of public affairs, Jennifer Baker, said Americans rights cant be stripped from them in order to give people a false sense of security. Do you think that this executive order is un-American?

3	1984 Versus 2025By Catherine J. Frompovich Theres a recently-released 22 minute explanatory video by Lisa Haven of www.LisaHavenNews.net that ought to mess with your mind, if not scare the be-jeepers out of you, when you learn what the controllers have planned for everyones brain! All the smart gadgets consumers must have are the controllers way of programming us to accept whatever technology comes down the pike as good for us, which really needs to be looked at with jaundiced eyes because everything, including our brains, are being programmed to tie into, and be controlled by, the Internet of Things. Lisa reads from government documents, which she parses to some extent, about brain microchip implants and psychotropic pharmaceutical drugs to control our thinking to comply with the controllers new world order, apparently being implemented under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Defense and other allies. Boy, havent they been successful in building terrorism fear and gun control tactics in everyone in order to inculcate voluntary compliance through their use of political correctness and controlled media output? I question. Heres the link to the 75-page research paper presented to the U.S. Air Force in August of 1996 from which Lisa reads. How far do you think government agencies have progressed with the proposals offered in that report? Lisa says that brain chip implants have been inserted. I think readers will find Lisas report to be highly fascinating, sci-fi, Frankenstein-like reading. I dont know whether to say enjoy or tighten your mental and emotional seat-belts.

3	DEA Leans on Massachusetts Doctors with Ties to Marijuana DispensariesPhillip Smith The heavy-handed tactic from the prohibition enforcers is working. The Globe interviewed two physicians who promptly severed their ties with dispensaries and a third who instead surrendered his license to prescribe (he said that as part-time surgeon, he didnt need it, although hed had it for 40 years). That could have an impact on the opening of some dispensaries, and that could have an impact on Massachusetts patients, whove already been waiting nearly a year-and-a-half for them to open since voters approved medical marijuana there in November 2012. The DEA doesnt get it. It has already lost this war. Its time for the agency to get out of the way, or better yet, go the way of the dinosaurs. But while the DEA and the prohibition regime it enforces may be dying dinosaurs, those final twitches of the tail still have the power to inflict injury. Better to put the beast out its misery. Phillip Smith writes for StopTheDrugWar.org where this article first appeared. 
2	VIDEO: Hillary Left Speechless When Asked About Her Accomplishments What have you accomplished that you are most proud of? For most people, this question brings up a slew of answers. For Hillary Clinton, however, it seemed to draw a blank. Ask her fans, and Im sure they could give you thousands of (albeit questionable) responses. Yet when Hillary was recently asked the question on stage, she began to trip over her words, unsure of how to answer the question. Specifically, Hillary was asked what she was proud of doing, as well as what she feels may still be unfinished. After several moments of hesitation, Hillary eventually simply said that it was hard to work in the administration, given the condition that Bush left it. What do you think of Hillarys answer? Is it bogus? 
2	She Glues Basic Cinder Blocks Together In Her Backyard. What Shes Actually Making? STUNNIng Suzelle from SuzelleDIY has contributed many a great Do-it-yourself project to selfnews. Were big fans over here at the offices. Today, she brings us yet another awesome and unique project to spruce up any outdoor area. The project is simple and easy, and all it requires is a couple cans of spray pain, cement glue, and a few cinder blocks, that you can pick up at any of your local construction stores. What will you be making? A bench, but not just any bench. This bench is versatile, decorative, and eye-catching. First, you spray pain the cinderblocks in whatever color you choose. Stack them into the shape of a bench, and adhere the blocks together with cement glue. The holes in the cinder blocks act as perfect flower pots, or if flowers arent your thing, you can make your own garden using simple kitchen scraps! (By the way, Suzelle recommends having a strong friend with you to help with the heavy lifting). The result is form and function meshing together in perfect harmony. If you dont believe me, check out the video below for more detailed instructions, and a glimpse of what this beautiful addition to your garden should look like! 
3	This covert nuclear war on humanityRady Ananda The Nuclear Regulatory Commissions findings detail ongoing complaints about WIPPs ongoing failures to meet basic safety standards, let alone nuclear safety. But Hanford, the 10th most radioactive region on the planet, also made the news in March when fumes sickened at least 11 workers who were taken to various medical facilities. All this transpired while Japan attempts to safely remove the spent fuel rods from Fukushimas destroyed nuclear plants, an operation that Dr Helen Caldicott has characterized as incredibly dangerous and which will take months to complete. Dr Caldicott is a pediatrician deeply involved in the effort to end humanitys most ecocidal form of developed energy. Many of the fuel rod workers, she reports in this March interview, are prisoners and indigents. Epidemiologist Dr Rosalie Bertell explains the significance of these spent fuel rods, which the US stores at four times the pool capacity: Dr Moret explains that radioactive particles released in nuclear explosions also weaken metals, leading to metal fatigue known as the Wigner Effect, which attorney Alfred Weber describes as follows: The Wigner effect (named for its discoverer, E. P. Wigner), also known as the discomposition effect, is the displacement of atoms in a solid caused by neutron radiation. Heres a handy conversion chart when officials use different radiation measurement standards, from Ecology News. That Fukushima disaster is thousands, or possibly millions of Chernobyls, Moret warns. It has poisoned the entire Pacific Ocean and that poison is carried into the Atlantic circulation. Dr Caldicott concurs. Every day since March 11, 2011, between 300 and 400 tons of radioactive water have been pouring into the Pacific Ocean. At the top end, thats almost a half million tons. Is there any wonder we see starfish turning to goo and sealife collapsing? When the transhumanists decided to massively reduce global population, all they had to do was split the atom. To decide to develop nuclear power, whose byproducts are used for nuclear weapons, Ike and Oppenheimer signed our death sentence. (I am become death, he accurately quoted Lord Krishna from the Bhagavad Gita.) Dr Bertell has written extensively about the genocidal implications of nuclear power, and calls the development and use of nuclear energy omnicide. Radiation is going to kill everything but the most obscure life forms for millennia. In No Immediate Danger, she explains: Since the development of nuclear power, not only have we had three nuclear accidents of catastrophic scale, but militaries have: All that radiation rains down on us. Its ubiquitous in the food chain, the atmosphere, our waters, and in our bodies. And its gotten oh-so-much worse these past several decades with the Nuclear Regulatory Agency created by and for the industry. It would be inaccurate to call the NRC a captive agency; it never was free, its always been run by the industry it was created to regulate. In Nuclear Roulette, Gar Smith notes in the chapter, The Regulatory-Industrial Complex: Studies have also shown that certain whole foods (non GMO) can repair or mitigate DNA damage, a known effect of encountering radiation. Other whole foods actually protect organs and organ systems from radiation damage (providing a host of other benefits as well), and for this reason I take Juice Plus, a capsule of dried, high-quality superfoods and grains. Over at Food Freedom News, weve also produced a list from various reputable sources of recommended foods to protect you from radiation, or mitigate its damage. Its long past time to completely halt the use of nuclear energy and to terminate the military as Dr Bertell prescribes in her book, Planet Earth: The Latest Weapon of War. Humans can and must figure out how to resolve our differences without planet-killing wars and technologies. Recently by Rady Ananda: Rady Ananda is the creator of Food Freedom News and COTO Report, Rady Anandas work has appeared in several online and print publications, including four books.

1	A secret investigation sent shock waves across the sports world yesterday, when it revealed that the Special Olympics, one of the nation's premier annual athletic competitions, is fixed. A Scandal Uncovered According to the undercover probe, hundreds and possibly thousands of participating athletes have been declared 'winners' over the years, despite losing their respective contests, often by wide margins. 'I don't think there's anything 'winning' or 'special' about finishing in eighth or ninth place,' chief investigator Harlan Brundage said. 'Do these kids think they're winners just because they tried? Just because they gave it their all? Well, let me tell you, trying doesn't make you a winner. Coming in first does.' An estimated 15,000 athletes participated in the Special Olympics this year, and, according to Special Olympics awards records, every one of them was declared a 'winner.' According to Brundage, all Special Olympians will be stripped of their medals and held for questioning, pending a thorough investigation. Several Special Olympics officials and judges are also being detained. Evidence of the massive scandal first came to light June 17, during a Special Olympics competition in Milpitas, CA. Marcy Simms, a 27-year-old gymnastics contestant, was declared a winner in the individual competition, despite falling off the two-foot-wide balance beam some 11 times and failing to execute even a single cartwheel. Upon finishing the routine, Simms raised her arms above her head and cheered in triumph. Her parents then raced over to hug and kiss her, sharing in their daughter's 'victory.' 'When we saw Marcy celebrating, we were immediately suspicious of corruption,' Brundage said. 'Her routine was terriblewhat could she possibly have been so happy about?' Gymnastics judge Olga Rublovskya, a bronze medalist at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, agreed. 'I would have to give this performance of Marcy's a 0.0,' Rublovskya said. 'The routine was not very good at all.' The scope of the scandal widened at this year's Harwich, MA Special Olympics, where Jeff Coombs, 32, was awarded a medal in the 40-yard dash competition despite coming in fifteenth out of 15 competitors. Following the race, an investigator asked Coombs if he realized how poorly he fared, to which Coombs replied, 'I'm special! I'm a winner!' When the investigator countered that Coombs was neither special nor a winner, but rather an exceptional failure who finished in dead last place, Coombs vehemently maintained his specialness. 'These are substandard athletes at best,' Brundage said. 'Why they are competing in something called the Olympics is a question we must answered. I promise a full investigation.' The scandal has also resulted in a loss of revenue for the Special Olympics Committee. Reebok and Toshiba, the event's two largest sponsors, have announced they are pulling out, and Pepsi is expected to follow. 'It is in Reebok's best interest at this time to put our money behind the 1996 Atlanta Games, where the athletes have proven their ability to run, jump and catch,' said Marvin Balsam, Reebok Director of Marketing, explaining his company's decision to shift $158 million from the Special Olympics to the Atlanta Games. 'Until we see more physical skill from these Special Olym-pians, we have no choice but to spend our sponsorship dollars elsewhere.' 
1	Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced Tuesday that a maintenance crew would begin work this week cleaning the nation's filter in order to remove the estimated 40 million tons of gunk, crud, and muck currently clogging up the country. According to Salazar, workers opened the service panel Friday to inspect the nation's 2,500- mile-long filter unit and found it covered in a dense layer of dust, mold spores, soap scum, human waste, thousands of Canada geese, pine trees, poplar trees, and automobiles, as well as an 8-million-ton clump of hair. The crew also reportedly discovered more than $50 billion in loose change in the filter's housing. 'It is imperative that from here on out we maintain a clean national filter at all times, otherwise the whole country gets backed up,' Salazar said at a press conference, rolling up his sleeves to pick away some of the 15-mile-thick stratum of filth. 'Look at all this crap that's jammed in here. No wonder the nation's been running so slow.' 'See, the problem is, we put off cleaning it for so long that now all the gaskets are shot,' Salazar added. 'The American people will be lucky if we don't have to replace the turbines or even the entire condenser.' Salazar estimated that it would take 35,000 workers approximately six months to scrape off the 40 million tons of putrid gunk caked on the surface of the nation's filter, and at least 90 billion gallons of boiling water to flush out all the grime inside the purification screen. Interior Department sources also confirmed the 'change filter' light had been blinking for the past 12 years but the casing had become so saturated with grease and dust that federal officials failed to notice the warning. 'It's a dirty job, but after we clear out all the soda cups, Band-Aids, and two-by-fours from the T-valve outside of Boston, I'd say we should be able to get the country functioning back up around 75 percent,' Deputy Interior Secretary David Hayes said. 'Sometimes it sticks, so you just need to scrub around the rim a little.' Hayes said completing the overdue maintenance on the nation's filter would immediately increase the country's performance and reduce viscosity, greatly enhancing flow and circulation. The properly functioning filtration system will also reportedly help drain standing water and slow down the nationwide buildup of mildew on the sides and edges. Despite the department's planned improvements, critics have said the move has come too late. 'I've been saying over and over that elected officials need to clean that filter,' said Houston resident Loman Barger, 62. 'You can't just clean it one time and forget about it, because once you get it washed out, a year later it's all gunked up again. God knows we don't ask those folks in Washington for much. The least they could do is check the damn filter every couple of months.' 'What are they gonna tell us next,' he added, 'that they forgot to change the fuses in the Midwest?' Department officials said they had searched online for replacement filters, but acknowledged the original packaging had been thrown away, making it difficult to track down the model number. Sources confirmed preparations were being made to order the part from a manufacturer overseas. At press time, the Department of Interior had issued another warning advising citizens to stay inside their homes for the next six weeks, as they would be fumigating the nation. 
3	18 Scientifically Validated Reasons to End Public Water FluoridationAnna Hunt Recently a Harvard medical study claimed that ingesting fluoride leads to a loss of IQ in young children, which is remarkably frightening by itself. Now, another study has been published, taking a thorough look at the pros and cons of ingesting fluoride. Conducted by Stephen Peckham and Niyi Awofeso, and published in The Scientific World Journal, this new research paper begins with the following important introduction, which calls for an end to public water fluoridation: 1. Fluoride is not critical for healthy teeth: 2. Fluoride may actually make certain people more vulnerable to dental cavities: 3. Because of the complex nature of how dental caries develop, it is too difficult to tell if water fluoridationactually helps prevent dental caries: 4. The history of research into ingesting fluoride as an effective means ofpreventing dental caries is controversial, at best: 5. Fluoride is classified as a pollutant and there is no such thing as a disease caused by fluoride deficiency. 6. Drinking fluoride in public water makes it impossible to administer a proper dose, causing a rise in toxic dental fluorosis: 7. Mass contamination of drinking water with fluoride is toxic for children: The inability to control individual dose renders the notion of an optimum concentration obsolete. In the USA, a study in Iowa found that 90% of 3-month-olds consumed over their recommended upper limits, with some babies ingesting over 6mg of fluoride daily, above what the Environmental Protection Agency and the WHO say is safe to avoid crippling skeletal fluorosis [41]. 8. Fluoride may increase the risk of dental caries for malnourished children: 9. Water fluoridation effects the cognitive development of children: 10. Water fluoridation may cause hypothyroidism in children: 11. Fluoride consumption may actually cause bone disease: 12. As an enzyme disruptor, fluoride interferes with the bodys normal functioning in many complex ways: 13. Chronic fluoride ingestion is commonly associated with hyperkalaemia and consequent ventricular fibrillation [70]. 14. Fluoride ingestion has been linked to cancer, although it has not yet been proven to directly cause cancer: 15. Ethically speaking, mass water fluoridation is medication without consent: 16. The human body does not need fluoride to be healthy: 17. Although promoted as a medicine for tooth decay, fluoride is not regulated or controlled as a medicine: 18. There are better alternatives to preventing cavities than fluoridation: Conclusion Community water fluoridation is actually not the global norm: Fluoride has become so controversial in America that many citizen formed groups are actively, and effectively, petitioning local governments to stop the community fluoridation of municipal water. Couple this with the fact that many product manufacturers are giving consumers options for avoiding fluoride in commonly used products, such astoothpaste and mouthwash. If your city government hasnt yet seen the light and eliminated this poison, do yourself and your family a favor and switch to using filtered water in your home. Berkey makes an excellent filter that when couple with thefluoride units, makes it easy to avoid fluoridated drinking and cooking water. You can also get a shower head filter that prevents you from absorbing fluoridated water through your skin each time you shower. The science is in, fluoride is dangerous to your health. Please be advised, and share this news with your friends and family. Sources: 
2	Hillary Scrambling To Get This Video Taken Down Before It Goes Viral Earlier this month, Hillary Clinton announced that she would be teaming up with Green Party candidate Jill Stein to demand a recount of votes in three crucial states: Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. This was a questionable move on Hillarys part for a variety of reasons. Not only did she threaten her relationship with Donald Trump (even though he holds the power to investigate her foundations), but it also exposes her as the blatant hypocrite she is. Before the election, Clinton shamed Donald Trump for speculating that the election was rigged. In fact, she was captured on video arguing that not accepting the results of an election is a direct threat to our democracy. She even called anyone who does challenge an election a sore loser. In case you missed it, you can watch that footage below: Deplorable Sandi (@sandiv11) November 15, 2016 Trump issued a statement on the matter to Bloomberg. He essentially dismissed Stein as a major loser and criticized both her and Clinton for their actions. The results of this election should be respected instead of being challenged and abused, he commented. What do you think? Does Hillary Clinton just need to accept the fact that her political career is over? 
2	First U.S. City To Fully Implement Sharia Law... Heres Whats Happening Over the past few years, liberals have criticized states that have proactively introduced measures to protect against Sharia Law being implemented in the court room. Those states have been painted as racists, with liberal legislators calling the bills unnecessary. I wonder what they have to say now that the city council of Dearborn, Michigan just voted to become the first city in the United States to implement Sharia Law. The new measure will address crime, politics and economics. It will also apply to more personal matters like sexual intercourse, fasting, prayer, diet and hygiene. If implemented literally, the new law might have citizens stoned for adultery or losing a limb for theft. And it wont look good for women and children, either. It is still determined what the implementation will look like, but we do know why. It is because of our need that Allah the Almighty, in all his generosity, has created laws for us, so that we can utilize them to obtain justice, Jeremy Ahmed told reporters. We hope to see other cities taking this action in the face of the governments inaction of passing such legislation. Of course, conservatives and concerned Americans are outraged at the decision. One social media user wrote: Only in Obamas America would an American city consider Sharia Law. What do you think? Does this need to be stopped immediately? 
2	BREAKING: Obama Caught Red Handed Doing Something DESPICABLE To Donald Trump Just last week, President Obamas Federal Aviation Administration announced plans that are designed to rename three navigation points near Palm Beach International Airport in Florida. The FAA had originally named the coordinates after Donald Trump. DONLD, TRMMP, and UFIRED are now going to be replaced with non-controversial names. Although they arent saying as much, its clear that the decision was made following Trumps comments about illegal immigrants during his campaign announcement. Ever since then, hes faced immense backlash from the liberal community and has been dropped from several business arrangements. Still, Trump is standing by his concerns, and has even taken the time to meet with families of Americans who lost their loved ones to illegal immigrants. The outreach is part of his plan to make America great again. What do you think of Trumps comments? Do you support him? 
1	Heading into the final game of the NBAs regular season, Lakers coach Mike DAntoni told reporters Wednesday that he is thrilled to finally have the opportunity to actually coach the Los Angeles Lakers. We have the right personnel in place now to allow me to install my system of offense, and I honestly couldnt be happier with the roster at the moment, said DAntoni, adding that hes been waiting a long time to be in charge of the Lakers basketball team and couldnt be more excited to finally get started. I know its late in the season, but Im just happy that I can do what I was actually brought here to do. Reached for comment, Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak revealed that DAntoni will have approximately nine months before the team reevaluates his position as head coach.

2	Obama Furious After Fox News Fires Back WIth THIS [VIDEO] President Barack Obama fired shots at Fox News for showcasing low income folks who are gaming the system on his watch. BUT in an amazing turnaround, Fox News Washington correspondent James Rosen went on The Kelly File to defend themselves and the networks audience. Rosen points out that Fox News has been the #1 cable news network for 13 years. Clearly they must be doing something right in order to draw in such a massive audience. President Obama believes that Americans are too stupid to see through what Fox News puts on the air, but we here at selfnews know better. Will you continue to support Fox News? 
2	Restaurant Employee Kills Masked Gunman [VIDEO] Recently, a masked gunman attempted to rob a restaurant in Miramar, Florida. The criminal probably would have gotten away with their actions, if they had not been confronted by an unexpected hero. It was early evening when an unidentified man barged into Captain Max Seafood, reportedly wearing a ski mask and gloves and equipped with a gun. After an exchange of words a restaurant employee brought out his concealed weapon, and shot the robber right there on the spot. Tania Rues, a spokeswoman for the Miramar Police, confirmed that a restaurant employee fired several shots and killed the suspect. Although the incident is still under investigation, it is not immediately known whether the masked man had actually fired his weapon before he was shot. The employee was later seen being put into the back of a police car. What do you think? Do you support this restaurant employee for taking matters into his own hands or did he take things too far? Could this situation have been way worse if the employee did not have a gun present? 
3	Number of Kids on Rx Drugs Tripled and Its ImplicationsCatherine J. Frompovich Whooaah! Has anyone done a retrospective study to find if theres a correlation between antipsychotic drug taking and the increase in violent crimes by members of society younger than 20 years of age? According to Monica G. Young at NaturalNews.com, In the pre-medication era, it was known that with time, people usually recovered from depression. If kids had tantrums, were unruly or shy, they were apt to outgrow it. Today, individuals branded with disorders are likely to receive long-lasting diagnoses, endless prescriptions and the poorer ones tend to remain on disability for life. [1] To learn more, please visit here. Furthermore, how about factoring in this from Consumer Reports, Increasingly, kids are prescribed antipsychotic medications at their pediatricians office, rather than by a psychiatrist. The number of prescriptions for the drugs written by pediatricians has increased steadily over the last several years and is up nearly 25 percent since 2006. [CJF: Based upon that trajectory, what should we expect?] According to Dr. Allen Frances, MD, who is critiquing the risks of the American Psychiatric Associations new DSM-5, the antidepressant Rx business amounts to US$12Billion a year, while the stimulant drug market comes in at US$7Billion a year not exactly small potatoes. According to the then-projections, the vaccine market for 2010 was supposed to be about US$19.2Billion with some predicting an average annual growth of sales to amount to 21 percent! In 2010, the world market for preventive vaccines totaled $25.3 billion, up from $21.7 billion in 2009. The world vaccines market is predicted to increase at a compound annual rate of 9.3% during 20102015, reaching $39.5 billion in 2015 as new product introductions continue and usage of current products expands further.[CJF emphasis added] Doesnt that seem to be what its all about not factual science but the scientific, medical, and political disregards for the harms of neurotoxins and hazardous chemicals in vaccines, some of which are being steered deliberately into the human brain? Comparatively, psychotic prescription drug increase and use in children is nothing compared with the uptake in mandated vaccines, vaccinations, and their toxins for children that starts usually within 24 hours of birth with the Hepatitis B vaccine and barrels along at two-month intervals when infants are taken to their pediatricians for what are called well-baby visits at 2, 4, and 6 months of age, only to be pumped with as many as nine (9) vaccines at one time that usually make them have an adverse reaction, minor or serious, or contribute to life-long health anomalies. Now, lets figure out how many times vaccinations have increased? According to a chartprovided by Proud Parents of Unvaccinated Children, 4 vaccines (Smallpox and DTP [Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (3)] were given to children in the 1940s. Lets use that number as our base rate for sake of argument. According to The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), The smallpox vaccine was discontinued for routine use in the United States in the early 1970s. However, instead of that reducing the number of vaccines given, the number of vaccine doses given in 1980 increased to 21 vaccines: DTP [3] Polio at 2 months; DTP [3] Polio at 4 months; DTP [3] Polio at 6 months; MMR [3] (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) at 12 months; DTP [3] at 18 months; DTP [3] at 5 years. Therefore, the 1980 vaccine/vaccination schedule of 21 vaccine doses resulted in a 5-and-a-quarter times increase over the base [4 vaccines] 1940s vaccination schedule. Juvenile Crime Now, this writer wishes to interject something that will be challenged, but needs to be pointed out: Juvenile crime, which has increased exponentially and dramatically in the time frame after the 1980 mandated vaccine schedule that introduced more toxic chemicals into childrens brains and bodies. According to the website www.justice.gov/ The number of teenagers under eighteen arrested for murder has risen over one hundred fifty percent from 1985 to 1994, as stated in the FBI Uniform Crime Reports, 1994. While Seventeen percent of all serious violent crimes in 1991 were committed by juveniles, either alone (eleven percent) or in juvenile groups (six percent). [Recall vaccine doses increased 5 times in 1980.]Other reports are cited stating, Increasing youth violence has become a national concern, and juvenile arrests are on the rise. The most alarming statistics among these increases are the growth in homicides and weapons violations among younger juveniles. [CJF emphasis added] [Does violence as entertainment also play a role in crime?] http://www.justice.gov/usao/eousa/foia_reading_room/usam/title9/crm00102.htm Now, lets see what the 2012 vaccine/vaccination schedule produced. Prenatal: pregnant mothers H1N1 flu vaccine; Hepatitis B at birth; Dtap [3] (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Acellular Pertussis), Polio, Hib, Pneu, Rotavirus, HepB for a total of 8 vaccines at 2 months of age; the very same schedule as at 2 months with no HepB for 7 vaccines at 4 months of age; Dtap [3], Polio, Hib, Flu/H1N1 for a total of 6 vaccines at 6 months of age; another Flu/H1N1 vaccine at 7 months of age; Pneu and MMR [3] for a total of 4 vaccines at 12 months of age, or 28 vaccine doses by one year of age.By the end of the first year of life according to the 2012 vaccination schedule, vaccine doses increased seven (7) times, i.e., 28 vaccine doses, over the doses given in the 1940s. Continuing on still, a child receives 19 more vaccine doses by age of 6: Varicella and Hepatitis A [2] vaccines at 15 months old. The Dtap [3], Polio, Hib, HepA, and Flu/H1N1 for a total of 7 vaccines at 18 months of age. Another Flu/H1N1 vaccine at 2 years of age. Between 4 and 6 years of age, a child receives 9 vaccines at one time: Dtap [3], Polio, MMR [3], Varicella, and Flu/H1N1. By a childs 6th birthday, his or her vaccine/vaccination mandated schedule grew almost 12 times over what they were in 1940, for a total of 47 doses of vaccines! Vaccination schedules increased from only 4 vaccines to almost twelve times that amount or 47 vaccine doses, per this writer calculations. However, there is a caveat to those figures. They do not include the boosters and newer vaccines, e.g., the HPV vaccines for male and female children up to 18 years of age, which appear on the CDCs schedule here. But we shouldnt stop there. Now take a look at the recommended vaccination schedule for adults. If readers have read my October 2013 book, Vaccination Voodoo, What YOU Dont Know About Vaccines, you can readily understand how many toxic chemicals and neurotoxins are being pumped into infants, toddlers, teens, and adults. So, can we do a quick guestimate on the increase of those toxins in vaccines over ones life time? Well, that depends upon how long a person may live, once you study the 2013 Adult Schedule for Immunization in the USA. Whos to Blame? Furthermore, we know that 300 new vaccines are in development stages. Question: How will the 2013 vaccination schedules, plus those newbie vaccines, dramatically increase the amount of toxic drugs given to everyone? Exponentially is an accurate answer. Therefore, is it any wonder that the USA has a totally legal drug culture that keeps growing day by day, and year by year? And the medical societies are to blame! They keep sanctifying and pushing more and more chemical drugs, especially vaccines, any which way they can into humans, even from before birth using fear tactics and health agency mandates. This writer remembers a time when not even an aspirin was recommended to be taken by a pregnant woman. Instead of implementing complementary medicine protocols when appropriate and a holistic approach to lifestyles along with a nutritious, organically-grown, GMO- and chemical-free dietary, the medical profession, federal, and state health agencies keep pushing drugs like any drug dealer does, except their pushing is legal and in many cases MANDATORY, as with vaccines and chemotherapy for cancer treatments, especially for children when parents prefer other treatments. Read 11-year-old Sarah Hershbergers sad story. Unfortunately, citizens do pay the price, rather expressly with adverse events, ill health, or even death in many instances. According to Gary Null, PhD, Out of the 783,936 annual deaths from conventional medicine mistakes, approximately 106,000 of those are the result of prescription drug use. [2] And still no one is doing anything about it other than fining Big Pharma big fines. Where do all those big fines go? Shouldnt there be an accounting of how those fines are used or spent? Do they finance the U.S. FDAs operations? Or is it a matter of someone scratching someone elses back? Change IS on the Horizon not the other kind of change Starting in January 2014, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will initiate a prescription drug take-back program. MedReturn collection boxes will be at locations throughout the state so consumers can properly dispose of prescription drugs. Abuse of prescription drugs is a serious problem that can lead to addiction, overdose and death, said DDAP Secretary Gary Tennis. [3] The more drugs the medical profession and Big Pharma push into consumers, the more problems. Antibiotics in food animals are other drug problems that need addressing. Finally, after all these years of use and abusing antibiotics for fattening animals for market, the FDA is going to do something. See Phasing Out Certain Antibiotic Use in Farm Animals.Dont you think those veterinary drugs also put a little more meat and fat on humans hindquarters, too, in addition to compromising the human immune system? But heres the piece de resistance, as far as this writer is concerned. Its a story out of the U.K. about the hyping and issuing of false news claims about the measles epidemic earlier this year in Walesthat was promoting vaccinations, i.e., the MMR vaccine which many parents dont want their children vaccinated with. Another equally-enlightening article is The Vaccine Hoax is Over Documents from UK reveal 30 Years of Cover-up. And still they keep on pushing vaccine drugs and people keep on believing the hype. All this drug-pushing with vaccines, antipsychotics, veterinary antibiotics in animal feeds, plus add to that over 100,000 chemicals that can be used in our environment and food chain, from crop fields to processing to manufacturing- and shipping-chemicals, humans have become walking toxic waste dumps. On top of all that, add the heavy metals, chemicals, probable viruses, and toxins being sprayed daily over our heads from airplanes that create chemtrails. All that still does not include the radioactive waste aerial plumesthat flow across the Pacific Ocean from Fukushima. What does all that do to us, especially infants, toddlers, and teens? Autism Finally, to come full circle, we need to look at the rates of autism over the years? Autism was first detected by Dr. Leo Kanner, a child psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. He first reported about autism in his 1943 paper. At first autism was called the Kanner syndrome; it was so rare Dr. Kanner did not mention it in many of his publications. Here are the generally accepted statistics regarding autism: Is Correlation Causation? However, there is something that medicine and public health agencies overlook and dont even want to hear about. It is this: If one cross-references or juxtaposes the increase in vaccines given to infants, toddlers, and teens according to draconian vaccination mandates, which unequivocally document an almost 12-times increase in the number of vaccine doses given children to age 6 between the timeframe of the 1940s and 2012, there is an apparent correlation rather than coincidence. Its about time we stop accepting that vaccines do not harm nor cause damage, and anything that happens after receiving a vaccine is mere coincidence. Thats nothing but sanitized poppycock! Furthermore, the U.S. Vaccine Court is proof that something is amiss with vaccines. That court has paid out close to US$3Billion in vaccine damage claims since its inception in the late 1980s. As of April 2013, close to US$6Million alone was paid to only 49 victims damaged by the HPV vaccine (Source). Other Toxic Issues Before we leave the issue of oversupplying toxic chemicals in drugs to children, lets consider other products we use daily that compromise us chemically. Consider what the U.S. FDA recently said about those all important antibacterial soaps. As Food Safety News put it, According to FDA, there is no evidence that antibacterial soaps are any more effective at preventing illness than washing with plain soap and water. Some data even suggest that long-term exposure to certain active ingredients used in antibacterial products triclosan in liquid soaps and triclocarban in bar soaps could pose health risks, such as bacterial resistance or hormonal effects. [4] [CJF emphasis added] Could the hormonal effects implied to antibacterial products be similar to endocrine disruption that comes from Bisphenol A (BPA)? However, BPAs replacement, BPS, is even more problematic insofar as it is more readily absorbable upon contact. Ponder this: The study detected BPS in all the receipt paper they tested, 87 percent of the samples of paper currency and 52 percent of recycled paper. The researchers estimate that people may be absorbing BPS through their skin in larger doses than they absorbed BPA when it was more widely used 19 times more BPS than BPA. People who handle thermal paper in their jobs may be absorbing much more BPS. [5] [CJF emphasis added] This writer contends that society is over-chemicalized deliberately either because of pseudo-science or profit-making ventures and proprietary interests seeking spectacular bottom line figures. I discuss those issues in my 2009 book, Our Chemical Lives And The Hijacking Of Our DNA, A Probe Into Whats Probably Making Us Sick. The number of drugs given to young children, in particular, has more than tripled; how about twelve times for vaccines alone, plus other Rx drugs kids take and legally! We have a drug-zombie culture from street drugs and those legally mandated, prescribed or overprescribed, and provided by those who should know better: the medical profession. How many Rxs do senior citizens take? The Wall Street Journal in its December 28, 2010 article So Young and So Many Pills [6] printed the exceptional graphic below. Please study the data associated with each type of medication. The numbers are astounding! Why so many children on so many meds? Take a look at sleep aids and statins being prescribed to 0 to 9 year olds! Whats causing such a pandemic of chronic illnesses in the very young? Can it be the synergistic biological interaction of heavy metals in vaccines and other meds, plus all the toxic man-made chemicals humans are mandated to intake in everything from the air we breathe to the water we drink to the food we eat to the clothing we wear to the furniture we sit on to the cars we drive? Well, finally someone has realized whats going on with poisoning us, especially children. A California Superior Court judge in San Jose ordered three current or former paint companies to pay $1.1 billion into a fund to be used to clean up hazards from lead paint in hundreds of thousands of homes in the state. [7] Incidentally, science, society, and vested interests finally had to accept the problems associated with lead [Pb] and the damage it causes to human health and the environment. Reluctantly, after decades of tobacco science saying smoking didnt harm us and that medical doctors preferred certain brands of cigarettes, the tobacco industry has to decorate their brands with truth in advertising like the following: Its Congresss Fault The problem, as this writer sees it, is Congress! Congresss unwillingness to take the bull by the horns and do its job of oversight, plus stop taking all the gifts that K Street lobbyists have to offer, which in turn, only buy influence that looks favorably upon introducing or passing laws that vested interests want enacted to protect their corporate interests. Seeming examples are Monsanto with non-labeling of GMO edibles in the USA, and the coup the pharmaceutical industry was able to pull off in getting the 1986 law President Ronald Reagan signed: the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, which took away all legal liability for vaccine damage from Big Pharma and vaccine makers, and which undoubtedly has led to the overproduction of a productvaccinesthat is mandated to be given to infants, toddlers, teens, and adults, and which causes horrendous damage and no one is held accountable. It seems the more they can get away with, the more they will offer and no one stands in their steamroller way. What a shame!

3	Avoidance or Awareness The Emergence of Truth in the MediaDylan Charles News is broadcast almost everywhere in some format, and information repeating has become a core feature of the modern homo sapiens. Youre reading an example of this right now. Someones always chatting, gossiping, worrying, speculating, theorizing, analyzing and considering the events that bind us together. Thats what the news really is, a conversation we have as a group about what we experience as a group, a multiple of our personal communications. Opposing sides have emerged in the media. There is the old guard, the established corporate crew, known as the mainstream media to many. This is the for profit, big business industry occupied by the pundits, execs, billionaires, think-tankers, celebrity hosts, spokespersons, and anchor-robots who are supported by unlimited monetary resources and vast reach. It is an industry scientific in nature and overseen by the watchful eye government and the unseen hand of the powers above government. Rising in opposition to this monopoly is a new kind of media structure. Lack of corporate and government resources is being overcome by a self-motivated and self-multiplying movement of independent journalists,artists and thinkers who are presenting the information and ideas that the mainstream is working overtime to confuse, obfuscate, bury or simply wont touch. This media, the alternative media, however, has at last achieved significant enough market share in the infowar to challenge the status quos scripts. For example, the same script of WMDs and preemptive strikes that worked in 2003 to overcome massive global protest and muster consent for an occupation of Iraq failed for Syria in 2013. This supposedly imminent threat was scuttled in part by the work of very vocal truth-seekers and activists, and just a few weeks later there is nary a mention of Syria coming from big media. We already have new crises to consider. In the face of these diametric agendas, one being a message of fear and control, the other a message of independence and love, the individual is offered a choice between two paths: the path of awareness or the path of avoidance. One is a way of being, and the other a way of coping with being. When faced with this choice, as we all are when we encounter the alternative media, we are granted an opportunity to evolve or descend, to engage or retreat. Avoidance is a coping technique, a psychological device for escaping stressors. It involves adopting behaviors that aim at masking and protecting ones self from psychological or emotional damage. It is a defense mechanism which leads to annihilation because it requires submission to cognitive dissonance and self-delusion. Awareness is the condition of alertness, of having knowledge or of being conscious. It requires attention and involvement, and a willingness to pursue connections between ideas and events. It is an example of personal responsibility and a cultivated skill that reflects self-control and care. Coming from contemporary consciousness, the path of avoidance seems at first to be the easier choice, since it is the path of least resistance in a society that offers distractions and destructions of every variety, glorifying stupidity and ignorance at every level, and of every degree. Our poisons now come in every flavor imaginable, take your pick. To avoid a confrontation between opposing realities we keep our heads down, our voices hushed and our minds closed, consuming ourselves with trivialities and addictions, just waiting to self-destruct. In fact, unconsciously hoping to do so before the storm comes. In avoidance is where we give up our personal power and collude in our own personal and our collective suffering. This is the place where emptiness demands that we pick a team and play someone elses game with the vain hope that weve chosen the winning team. Avoidance means accepting an illusion in place of the real thing, and the disappearance of meaning and truth. Choosing the path of awareness most often appears to be the more difficult path to choose, and in some ways it is. It absolutely reveals our flaws, weaknesses and deficiencies, requiring tremendous spirit and resilience. In return we reclaim our power and develop the fortitude needed to approach the hefty challenges we all face together. Ideas and information have the power to liberate and the power to enslave or worse. Our choice is in how we adapt to it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avoidance_coping http://warriorsway.com/what-is-awareness/ http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/making-change/201007/self-awareness-is-vital-self-improvement Dylan Charles is a student and teacher of Shaolin Kung Fu, Tai Chi and Qi Gong, a practitioner of Yoga and Taoist esoteric arts, and an activist and idealist passionately engaged in the struggle for a more sustainable and just world for future generations.

1	In an effort to relieve his boredom and fill an otherwise uneventful afternoon, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un stacked all 24 million of his countrys inhabitants into a human pyramid Friday to help him pass the time. Do the pyramid faster and taller, the North Korean dictator ordered from a balcony overlooking Kim Il-sung Square, as 800,000 of his citizens clambered to reach the 47th tier of the massive gymnastic formation and steady themselves on the trembling backs of millions more of their countrymen. I want it taller than that. Have the labor camps been emptied? We can add prisoners from the labor camps. Move faster! Ugh, this human pyramid is more dull than no human pyramid at all. At press time, Kim had left to take a nap, but ordered the pyramid to remain indefinitely in case he got bored again and wanted to play around with it some other time. 
2	Media Blasts Military After Angry Muslims Attack Soldiers Returning Home From War [VIDEO] As we all know, Europe has entered a state of crisis, with the inflow of foreign Muslims fleeing the Middle East and outnumbering European natives. The situation has grown increasingly more hostile, and this video is the perfect example of the interactions that Europeans have been forced to deal with on a regular basis. The footage shows British soldiers returning home from war, and being met by an angry group of Muslims. The group of protesters verbally attacks the soldiers and their families, who are just returning home after battle. What do you think of this video? Is it a warning to the U.S. of what can happen if we arent cautious? UPDATE: Our apologies, this video has since been removed. 
1	While it's hard to know exactly what Mother Nature has in store for us most of the time, television viewers in the greater Norfolk area can count on one thing: The forecast will always be sunny coming from Channel 6 meteorologist Suzy Pratt. For nearly eight years, Suzy Pratt, meteorologist for NBC affiliate Channel 6 in Norfolk, VA, has maintained her cheerful outward demeanor in the face of crushing depression. A fixture on the local CBS affiliate's 6 p.m. news for the past eight years, Pratt, 37, is mired in a years-long battle with depression, her crumbling dignity, extreme self-loathing and unfulfilling home life steadily eroding her will to live as she becomes increasingly addicted to painkillers. 'Keep it tuned to Channel 6 for the latest weather information,' says Pratt, summoning all her strength to hold back the tears. 'Rain or shine, Channel 6 has got you covered.' Dinner time is always fun for Channel 6 viewers when Pratt is on the set, her cheery voice and snappy outfits sure to brighten things up when the weather forecast rolls around on weekdays at 6:18 p.m. Pratt, however, usually eats a Budget Gourmet dinner around 8 p.m., standing alone at her kitchen counter, her husband Bill too absorbed in his law practice to pay any attention to his home or spouse. Though unhappy in her loveless marriage, Pratt lacks the self-esteem to get out, blaming the marital woes on what she calls her 'fading looks.' During her years on the air in Norfolk, Pratt has developed into a genuine local celebrity, pleasing her many fans with her fun weather reports, engaging human-interest stories, and the occasional public appearance at a county fair or beauty pageant. 'El Nio's stirred up a whole mess of trouble throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, and Norfolk's certainly no exception. Look for lots more heavy rain tomorrow and through the weekend,' says Pratt, choking back sobs she desperately hopes the home audience won't detect. Once an aspiring model/actress, Pratt learned the cold, cruel ropes of the business during a grueling year in Los Angeles, bouncing from one unsuccessful audition to another and, ultimately, into bed with a 'producer' from whom she never heard again. Pratt now views life as something to be endured, consumed by what might have been, if only she had had just a little bit more foresight and wisdom. Norfolk residents might not always like the weather they get, but everyone loves the mile-wide smile and playful giggle they get from Pratt whenever news anchor Morton Caswell fires off another of his patented 'groaners.' Wearing a wig to hide the bald spots from the patches of hair she's pulled out, Pratt masks her pain on-camera with a big smile, each televised appearance a reinforcement of the perky, cheerful weathergirl archetype she has grown both to loathe and epitomize in her years at Channel 6. Whether it's 'stormy' or 'warmy' outside, the good folks of Norfolk know that with Pratt and the Channel 6 AccuTron WeatherAlert system on their side, they'll always be prepared for whatever Mother Nature sends their way. Pratt, meanwhile, grows increasingly delusional, convinced that a man in a maroon turtleneck is trying to kill her. Whether her crippling paranoia will result in an on-air breakdown, an unceremonious firing from Channel 6, or hospitalization is anyone's guess, but in the meantime, everybody is enjoying having Pratt as part of their day. As for her success as one of Norfolk's best-known faces, Pratt can only say, 'I value my job at Channel 6,' before scurrying into her car and driving off. 
2	Obama Fires Americas Head Of Defense Intelligence For Calling Our Enemies Radical Jihadis With our nation facing a spike in the terrorist attacks against us, Americans everywhere are begging President Barack Obama to finally take a stand. Recently, Pamela Gellar wrote a piece that perfectly encapsulates that sentiment. And shes got personal experience to back it up. Read Gellars post below and tell us what you think: For years, I have written and warned of the catastrophic consequences of Obamas sharia compliant national security policies. Obama scrubbed all counter terror materials of the jihadic doctrine and Islam. 
1	In what threatens to be an annual ritual, Rob Bachman, born Sept. 11, 1973, braced himself Tuesday for yet another birthday ruined by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The birthday boy tries in vain to enjoy his special day. 'My birthday's gonna suck for the rest of my life,' Bachman said on the eve of his 29th birthday. 'Every year, I'm going to want to go out and have fun, but it's always going to be inappropriate in light of the meaning of this most tragic of days.' Added Bachman: 'Man, there's nothing quite like hitting the bars on the anniversary of the worst act of terrorism ever perpetrated on U.S. soil.' Though Bachman will try to enjoy his 'special day' as best he can, he said he is not looking forward to the muted, somber acknowledgements he will receive from others. 'Last week, there was a lunchtime office party for [coworker] Matt [Quigle], complete with cake and decorations, because, of course, nobody cringes when you say your birthday is Sept. 5,' Bachman said. 'Already this week, Dina the receptionist, who lost a cousin in the attacks, looks like she's going to cry at any second. If they do recognize my birthday at all, I'm sure it'll be in some tasteful, appropriate way, without music or streamers or anything like that.' 'If I try to have a good time, I look like this shallow, selfish asshole who's oblivious to what's going on in the world,' Bachman continued. 'Still, Sept. 11 is the only birthday I have, and it'd be nice if I were allowed to have fun.' Bachman reads a birthday card from friend Danielle Cimino. As of press time, Bachman's efforts to gather friends and coworkers for the evening have been unsuccessful. Most of his e-mails and voicemail messages have gone unreturned, while those friends who have responded have politely declined, offering subdued birthday wishes. 'When I invited my friends a few weeks before, I distinctly avoided mentioning the date and just said people were getting together for my birthday on Wednesday,' Bachman said. 'Of course, once people realized what day it was, they all bowed out. Now that I think of it, I probably would've done the same thing.' If he is unable to assemble a group of friends, Bachman said he may just spend the evening at home alone. 'Maybe I'll just chill out and watch a movie,' Bachman said. 'But I know that as soon as I turn on the TV, I'm going to get hit with one of the wall-to-wall specials on the attacks, and it's going to make watching Shallow Hal or some other bullshit puff movie seem way too depressing.' Though Bachman's friends are hesitant to engage in any sort of revelry on Sept. 11, they sympathize with his plight. 'I really feel bad for him,' said Danielle Eckstrom, Bachman's longtime friend. 'Some of his friends don't want to go out because they're afraid of some big follow-up attack. The rest just want to be alone that night. I was going to take it on myself to go out and make sure he has a good time, but I don't particularly want to go out, either.' Given the historical magnitude of the Sept. 11 attacks, Bachman said he doesn't hold out much hope for future birthdays, either. 'It's probably going to be at least 10 years before I can get back to celebrating like a normal person.' Bachman said. 'Then again, that 10th anniversary of the attacks should be a pretty big deal, too. Fuck.' 
2	Rioters Storm A Police Station, This Is Why You Dont Mess With Police It is a frightening time to be a police officer in the United States, and demonstrators seem to be taking their protests to violent extremes. Most recently, a group of anti-police rioters stormed a police station in St. Louis, just outside of Ferguson, MO. The group was reportedly attempting to hold a sit in protest. As the uninvited guests arrived, officers attempted to prevent them from entering the building, forming a barricade in attempts to prevent further entry. Eventually, the officers were forced to used pepper spray to control the crowd. Beyond the break in attempt, the mob was touting an Eviction Notice, written with a list of grievances. One of the top issues? Being complicit in mass incarceration of black and brown citizens. Of course, the documents did not nothing to discount the actions those black and brown citizens took to put themselves in jail. Following the incident, five protesters were arrested on charges of trespassing and disturbing the peace. Another was charged for assault after he reportedly attacked a city marshal. What do you think? Should these protesters all be punished for raiding the station? 
3	Grid Down Acapulco: Theres Nothing to EatMac Slavo Though the government would like us to believe there is rarely looting or panic in the aftermath of a disaster, the fact of the matter is that within 72 hours of any serious crisis people will lose it. Case in point: Acapulco, Mexico. This week flood waters and landslides ravaged the resort town of Acapulco and stranded a reported 40,000 tourists, leaving them without food, water, or any means of escape. Major roadways into and out of Acapulco have been blocked by debris, cutting off recovery efforts for the citys 680,000 residents. With the city devoid of law and order, and emergency responders overwhelmed, looters hit the streets in a matter of hours. Back in town, thousands of looters streamed out of the Costco wholesale store in the exclusive Diamante district, wading out of the flooded store with food, televisions and even fridges while soldiers and federal police looked on, AFP correspondents said. [] Other looters broke glass doors to enter shops in two malls, snatching home appliances and mattresses. We cant stop them. We are in a serious emergency situation, a soldier said, declining to give his name. Source: The Nation The looters were out in droves looking for TVs and other high-cost goods when they first realized there was no police presence. By morning, it became clear that the situation was a bit more widespread then they had anticipated. People quickly realized they didnt have enough essential goods on their pantry shelves and made their way to local grocery stores, where, as you may have guessed, they were met with thousands of others who had the same idea. All of them were a day late We are taking food to our children, theres nothing to eat, said a woman hauling away grocery bags. [] Meanwhile, tourists and residents formed huge lines to buy food at three supermarkets that remained open. Those who couldnt find food at local grocery stores turned to their government. But there were too many hands and not enough food. As you can see from the number of reached out hands in the photo above, and the number of rations available, the situation was dire for many who never thought to keep reserve foods in their homes. Time and again we have seen these same events play out after a disaster. After Hurricane Katrina hundreds died from dehydration and lack of medical supplies. Within a couple of days of Hurricane Sandy hitting the east coast last year residents were rummaging through trash cans for food. Yearly power outages during winter months leave tens of thousands without electricity and supplies, and grocery stores are cleaned out within hours ahead of a storm, leaving the majority of people to depend on the few food items they have in their cupboards. Whats notable about this is that it happens every few months somewhere in the world, and people still dont take preventative measures to insulate themselves for the next time. And there is always a next time. Katrina, Sandy, Acapulco all of these are small-scale temporary emergency events lasting a few days to a couple weeks. And in all cases the local and federal governments are able to provide support and supplies, albeit usually in a disorganized and limited manner. Imagine how horrific it will be for the non-prepper in a large-scale disaster that destabilizes an entire region or country for an extended period of time. It is simply impossible for emergency management agencies to respond to a crisis involving hundreds of thousands or millions of people across several regions or metropolitan areas all at once. Even FEMA, which recently stockpiled 140 million meals-ready-eat, isnt prepared. They have said so themselves, and recommend a minimum two week emergency stockpile. Their response will be limited, and more than likely wholly ineffective. Though it seems like a lot, 140 million meals will go quickly. A disaster affecting just 1% of the U.S. population, for example, would consume that many meals within just two weeks. If 10% of the population were affected, forget about it. Were talking complete meltdown looting, theft, robbery, violence, blood in the streets. We live in a world of perceived security and safety. As Tess Pennington notes in The Anatomy of a Breakdown, one far-from-equilibrium event and the whole thing falls apart in 72 hours or less.

2	Tony Stewart Has Taken Shocking Action Following The Death Of Kevin Ware Shortly after the accident that resulted in the death of fellow driver Kevin Ward Jr., Tony Stewart made the difficult decision to sit out of a race according at Bristol Motor Speedway. This marks the third race that he has decided to decline. NASCAR and the Stewart-Haas Racing team have left the decision up to Stewarts discretion. Jeff Burton has announced that he will be filling in for Stewart until then. This is the last race until August 31, three weeks after the incident occurred. Teammates are curious as to whether or not Stewart will decide to get back behind the wheel. Ive known Tony Stewart for a long time, said SHR teammate Kevin Harvick of his teammate. I know for sure that Tony Stewart is not going to run over somebody. I dont think theres anybody in this garage that would. It would be hard to find somebody in the racing world that could point that car, just run somebody over. The accident also marked a change in NASCARs rules and regulations, making it completely illegal to step foot outside of your car during a race. What do you think? Is Tony Stewart innocent?

Not long ago, it was reported that an on-duty police officer was denied service in a Dunkin Donuts for being a cop. Fortunately, Chick-fil-A is taking a stand where our President refuses to do so. At the beginning of this year, the chain hosted a series of fundraisers to benefit the family of a fallen Utah police officer. Department Sgt. Cory Wride was shot and killed by a 17-year-old thug. His wife and 12-year-old daughter were left to mourn his death. Nearly every Chick-fil-A location in the state participated when Concerns of Police Survivors announced fundraising efforts. What do you think? Are you sick of the liberal media demonizing this chain?

'Look at him,' wife Jen Eli said as Woofers presented her with a tennis ball for the 22nd time that hour. 'His tongue's out, his tail's wagging, he's bouncing all over the place trying to please us. There's only so much that a dog can accomplish, but Woofers is trying his best.' Eli's utterance of the word 'Woofers' spurred a frenzy of irrelevant leaping. 
2	BREAKING: New Evidence Just Leaked Confirming That Obamas Birth Certificate Is 100% Unquestionably.... In a recent radio interview, Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona told listeners that he is pretty well convinced that President Obamas birth certificate is fraudulent, fake document. Ive been in law enforcement for 55 years and I think I know a fraudulent, fake document, Arpaio claimed. I am not a computer expert. I rely on my people. But Im pretty well convinced it is a fake document. The conversation started in regards to Donald Trumps controversial views on immigration, but quickly made its way to Obamas birth certificate. Arpaio has been investigating Obamas qualification to become president as a natural born citizen for nearly 7 years now. What do you think? Is the birth certificate that was released clearly a fake?

3	Watch as Investigators Protect Police Chief Lying on FilmAmanda Warren An investigation found that the offending IP address registering his name came from the town of Campbell, but not from Luce from the home of police chief Tim Kelemen.During this recording of the investigation, Kelemen boldly liesabout it. The investigator reveals the truth, but then proceeds to protect the dishonest police chief by laughing at his derogatory comments, and saying things like it sounds like this guy frickin deserves it and it sounds like hes an a-hole. Protect your own appears to be an understatement. In agreement with the original reporter on this story the nonchalant attitude is disheartening. The full interview found below is enlightening not in the positive sense. The chief attempts to build justification for his harassment. The investigator calls his anonymous method more professional (than in-your-face brute force, presumably). What if you had done this? What if you lied about it during an investigation? And, what if you had used a police officers information for harassment? If so, impersonating a police officer would most likely be added to a lengthy list of serious charges and, unlike this chief, you might be arrested with all your electronics subpoenaed. Correction/update: The city of Campbell (police department) and La Crosse (investigator town, location of Luces demonstration) are in Wisconsin. The investigator does not arrest or charge the chief and says he doesnt have pull the chiefs actions are not considered misconduct. The chiefs claims of threats and harassment on his department are also going into the report. The investigation was sent to the District Attorneys office. The federal suit goes to court in June/July.

2	Mark Wahlberg Blackballed From Hollywood After Say THIS About Trump Mark Wahlberg has come a long way from his Funky Bunch days. The successful actor has an important message for anti-Trump celebrities. While being interviewed for Task Purpose for his new movie Patriots Day, Wahlberg went after celebrities who lined up to denounce Donald Trump is the months and weeks leading up to Election Day. A lot of celebrities did, do, and shouldnt, he told the magazine. You know, it just goes to show you that people arent listening to that anyways. They might buy your CD or watch your movie, but you dont put food on their table. You dont pay their bills. A lot of Hollywood is living in a bubble, Wahlberg continued. Theyre pretty out of touch with the common person, the everyday guy out there providing for their family. Me, Im very aware of the real world. I come from the real world and I exist in the real world. And although I can navigate Hollywood and I love the business and the opportunities its afforded me, I also understand what its like not to have all that. Wahlbergs point is well taken. What makes Hollywood liberals qualified to speak on politics? They should have respect for the President of the United States. Do you agree? 
2	Black Lives Matter Thug Resists Arrest, Gets Immediate Justice... Learns The Hard Way [VIDEO] Heres some common sense liberals seem to have forgotten: if you break the law, youre asking for trouble. And if you resist arrest, youre asking for more. According to reports, officers in Lorain, Ohio are being accused of police brutality after footage has been released showing a rough altercation with an African American suspect who was resisting arrest. The video was filmed in Fall of 2014, when 32-year-old Pele Smith was being arrested for tampering with evidence. The clip shows police slamming his head into the windshield of their cruiser in an attempt to get him to comply with his orders. Apparently, the slammed him so hard that the glass actually shattered. Smith was charged with resisting arrest, and ended up pleading guilty to all charges before receiving probation. Last month, he filed a civil rights lawsuit against the city of Lorain and several officers, seeking damages. What do you think of this incident?

In a recent interview with a French reporter, President Obama begins to boast that if you look at the statistics, America is actually one of the top Muslim countries in the world. He then goes on to say that because we are a Muslim nation, we need to educate ourselves on Islam. Thats right. He called America a Muslim nation. According to the video, the USA is not even near being a top Muslim nation in the world. In fact, we are number 38 on that list. Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

John Cornyn (RTX) told reporters Thursday that he now knows the regular lobbyists order without even having to be told. Pete always drops in Monday mornings around eight on his way to workwell, you see the same friendly face year after year and you just pick up on what he wants, said Cornyn, adding that hes typically already preparing the lobbyists usual order of tax breaks and fossil fuel subsidies even as hes taking off his coat. Every once in a while, hell throw me a curveball and ask for a rider slashing regulations on greenhouse gas emissions, but for the most part, he knows what he likes and sticks with it. The way I see it, folks will always come back if you treat them right. At press time, the lobbyist had arrived right on time and was getting settled in his usual seat. 
3	New Flesh-Eating Disease Spreading Across Syria and the Middle EastBy Brandon Turbeville The disease causes open wounds and purplish scarring, a gross disfigurement of its victims. As The Daily Mail reports, Many of the temporary refugee settlements can increase the risk of picking up the disease because of malnutrition, poor housing, deficient medical facilities and overcrowding. This, coupled with the favourable climate the sand flies only operate in humid temperatures [a minimum of 27/28 degrees at night] has created the conditions for the disease to spread. For instance, refugee settlements in Nizip in southern Turkey have reported several hundred cases. When people are bitten by a sand-fly which are tiny and smaller than a mosquito it can take anything between two to six months to have the infection. So someone might have picked it up in Syria but then they may have fled into Lebanon or Turkey, oreven into Europe as they seek refuge. Prior to the outbreak of war there was good control of diseases, parasites and sand flies but when the conflict started no one cared, conditions worsened and the health system broke down, which has created an ideal environment for disease outbreaks. Of course, it wasnt that no one cared. It was that no one was able to provide adequate care because the United States, Israel, the GCC, and NATO had overrun the country with savage terrorists and destroyed the infrastructure, not to mention the Western sanctions imposed upon the country which, alone, would have made it difficult to treat. The Daily Mail also summarizes the prevalence of the disease both in Syria, the Middle East, and Africaby writing: Turkey, Jordan, Easter Libya and Yemen have also reported hundreds of cases. There could even be refugees with the disease who have reached Europe. According to the Syrian Ministry of Health, the number of cases of Leishmaniasis went from 23,000 before the war to 41,000 in 2013. The World Health Organization donated 10,000 of meglumineantimonate for treatment in Lebanon. Oddly enough, according to maps circulating in mainstream reports, while cases of the disease have appeared all across Syria, they seem to be concentrated in Palestine and Israel as well as Southern Lebanon. At this time, it is unclear whether or not the disease is indeed becoming an epidemic and/or a pandemic or if the Western media is simply using it to stir up humanitarian concerns in order to help justify some type of intervention in Syria or even panic over Syrian refugees. While the level of emergency may be debatable, the disease is undoubtedly present in Syria. Regardless, the reason this disease is making a comeback is directly a result of Western policies of destabilization, sanctions and proxy war that has resulted in the evisceration of Syrian living standards, health facilities and sanitation infrastructure.

I did not know that, because originally thought it was called AMERICANUS HORRIBILIS, these thing do not suddenly happen, and whatever the disease is called, the US will be in the mix somewhere, THAT IS WHY I HAVE CALLED IT AMERICANUS HORRIBILIS From a Nature journal article published last week, the good news is an international team is investigating the problem and, using an outbreak in Lebanon in 2013 as a model and case study, there is an excellent chance the disease can be brought under good control and victims given effective treatment. The bad news is it appears the globalists are using this outbreak to propose the creation of a yet another vaccine. Blue exactly the vaccine cure will surely cause another disease and on and on. Maybe chemical weapon. 
1	Stating that everyones different and this is just how shes always been, local woman Andrea Harris told reporters Thursday that she is not much of a morning, afternoon, or night person. I know that some people can just start their morning with a big burst of energy and get so much done before noon, but other people start off slow and dont really hit their stride until later in the dayIm definitely in neither of those categories, said Harris, adding that she tended to be her most proactive, productive self at no point throughout the day. My husband is a real night owl, but I just feel so exhausted by the end of the day that I fall right to sleep. Then in the morning Im nowhere near refreshed and ready to start my day. Its like I always say to my husband: Dont talk to me until Ive had my morning caffeine, and then continue not to speak with me the rest of the day. Harris added that with a huge project coming up at work, she would need to pull an all-dayer. 
1	Sound engineers from around the country converged on the Hilton Garden Inn Saturday for their annual convention in which they discuss their ponytails. 'It's always fun to catch up with other sound guys, just so we can swap stories about changing out bad cables, smoke cigarettes together, and see how our ponytails are,' said Joe Spencer, a sound engineer from Kansas City, MO whose 11-inch ponytail was poking out the hole of his Zildjian ball cap and obscuring the tour dates on his Megadeth T-shirt. 'But despite our cool jobs, it's pretty much like any other convention. We talk about new Mag-Lite innovations, see presentations on ponytail-friendly headphones, and swap tips, like how, in a pinch, you can use a mic clip as a clasp to secure your ponytail.' At the close of the weekend-long event, attendees will reportedly observe a moment of silence in honor of the late Ted 'Smash' Bailey, a sound engineer who had an impressive 24-incher and told Peter Gabriel to fuck off in 1983. 
2	What CNN Just Did To Trump Is Disgusting And Unforgivable Throughout his campaign, President-elect Donald Trump was vocal about his beliefs that his mainstream media was attempting to rig the election in Hillary Clintons favor. It is clear that major stations, like CNN, tried to portray Trump as a heartless villain. If you want a clear example of CNNs manipulation, check out this recent segment that a viewer captured. Conservative Tribune posted the footage, featuring Don Lemon and his co-hosts discussing how if Trump ditched the media as some are proposing, there would be no one present to get footage of an assassination attempt against him. As they made these outrageous claims, they even played a video of the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan. Conversations like this arent just biasedtheyre dangerous. It is incomprehensively irresponsible for a news outlet to suggest an assassination on anyone. As Conservative Tribune notes, CNN could have made their case without making a reference to, or showing footage of, a former president being shot. This is particularly disturbing given that Trump has had several death threats against him already. 
1	A casual greeting, delivered offhandedly by operations consultant Adam Harding, 27, triggered a 45-minute response from 32-year-old executive assistant Peter Sullivan on Monday. Stranded by coworker Peter Sullivan for nearly an hour, Adam Harding refilled his Dixie cup 21 times. According to Harding, his five-word pleasantry, reportedly 'Hey man, how's it going?' was merely intended to acknowledge the physical presence of his colleague. Yet Harding, who has been employed by Morgan Consulting Partners since November, quickly found himself in an overly personal, seemingly unending one-sided conversation with Sullivan in a narrow hallway. 'I remember him answering 'Not so good, man, not so good, it's one thing after another,' and I almost kept walking by him, but then I realized he was continuing to speak,' Harding said. Sullivan embarked on a detailed account of the events of his weekend, highlighted by an incident Sunday in which his 2002 Toyota Corolla broke down when he was on the way to a veterinary clinic with his sick cat. 'I guess his cat swallowed something or had distemper or whatever,' Harding said. 'Then he talked about some warranty issue with the car, like the warranty had lapsed but he still had some sort of claim because some part was defective, and then he told this really long story about getting to the vet.' After several further cat-related anecdotes, Sullivan somehow arrived at the subject of the minor lower-back pain that has plagued him throughout the winter. 'I gotta ' said Harding, gesturing in the direction of his cubicle as Sullivan cited various possible causes for the back pain, including his workload, the company's 'shitty chairs,' and stress brought on by a recent telephone conversation with his mother. 'Uh-huh,' Harding added after six minutes of quiet nodding. Harding's several attempts to extricate himself from the monologue, including checking his cell phone every 30 to 40 seconds and shooting wide-eyed looks of exasperation at any coworker who walked past, either went unnoticed or were disregarded by Sullivan. As the monologue continued, Harding increasingly felt the need to urinate. 'I thought things were finally winding down when he said 'Anyway,' but then he began mentioning problems he's been having with his girlfriend,' Harding said. 'When he looked right at me and put his hand on my shoulder, I knew I was in it for the long haul.' Harding admitted that he 'botched' a chance to escape when Sullivan paused briefly as he recalled the last time he and his girlfriend had 'really gone out and had a good time together.' Harding said that he did manage to wordlessly open and close his mouth a couple times in the brief interim. A mournful sigh seven minutes later allowed Harding the opportunity to say he was going to get a glass of water, prompting Sullivan to invite himself along to 'stretch [his] legs.' To Harding's dismay, the hydration only served to further stimulate Sullivan's thought processes. 'He called me into a nearby stairwell, and started in on this whole new thing about work itself, how everybody's always playing politics, and 'witch hunts' and 'backstabbing' and that sort of stuff,' Harding said. 'He said he was only saying these things because I was the only one who really seemed to 'get' him, and that no one talks to him anymore, probably because he's 'on to them.'' As Sullivan said that he was 'convinced' that the office web-page blocking policy was directly due to his supervisor walking in on him while he was reading an online gossip blog, a blocked ID call came in on Harding's cell phone. Characterizing the call as one he 'absolutely needed to get,' Harding quickly excused himself, even finding a bathroom on another floor of the building to lessen the chance of encountering Sullivan again. The salutation and resulting litany marked the second time the two had ever spoken. According to office sources, later that afternoon Sullivan engaged a front-office receptionist with an hour-long recollection of the tribulations he faced during middle school. 
3	US in Syria: Stopping the Arsonist-FirefighterBy Tony Cartalucci The United States has been illegally plying the airspace above Syria for over a year. It has been openly arming, funding, and training terrorists along Syrias borders in Turkey and Jordan, admittedly, for much longer. And before the conflict began in 2011, the United States had conspired as early as 2007, revealed in interviews conducted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh in his 9-page report The Redirection, to destabilize and overthrow the government of Syria through the use of sectarian extremists more specifically, Al Qaeda with arms and funds laundered through Americas oldest and stanchest regional ally, Saudi Arabia. The rise of the so-called Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) itself, turns out also to be part of this premeditated deconstruction of Syria. A Department of Intelligence Agency (DIA) report drafted in 2012 (.pdf) admitted: 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). To clarify just who these supporting powers were that sought the creation of a Salafist principality, the DIA report explains: The West, Gulf countries, and Turkey support the opposition; while Russia, China, and Iran support the regime. It is clear who the arsonists are. Nothing about the US recent moves have been honest. US policymakers have openly conspired to commit to strategies not aimed at actually fighting ISIS or ending the destructive conflict in Syria they themselves have started, but instead to counter Russias attempts to do so, merely under the guise of fighting ISIS, or helping refugees, or virtually any excuse they believe the public might support. The truth has begun to emerge even in the Wests own newspapers. The Washington Post in an article titled, Obama has strategy for Syria, but it faces major obstacles. states explicitly that: [The US] will increase air operations in northern Syria, particularly in the Turkish border area to cut the flow of foreign fighters, money and materiel coming in to support the Islamic State. Here, the Washington Post openly admits that support for the Islamic State is flowing out of NATO-member Turkey. It is clear that to stop this flow, efforts should be concentrated on the Turkish-Syrian border before supplies and reinforcements reach Syria. It is clear that ISIS is intentionally being allowed to resupply and reinforce its fighting capacity within Syria from NATO territory, specifically to serve as a pretext for wider and more direct Western intervention in Syria itself as was noted in June of 2014 when ISIS first appeared in Iraq. ISIS represents the drums of gasoline, rolled in by the US intentionally not to extinguish the flames, but to compound them into an inferno greater still. The same Washington Post article would reveal the true intentions of the US and its boots on the ground in Syria. While they claim they seek to fight ISIS, the truth is far more sinister. Under the pretext of fighting ISIS, these US forces, backing militants armed, trained, and funded by the US and its regional allies, will take and hold territory, effectively fulfilling US policy papers that have long-expressed the desire to deconstruct Syria as a secondary means of destroying it as a functioning nation-state if direct regime change was unachievable. The Washington Post states specifically: Defeating the Islamic State in Syria, under Obamas strategy, rests on enabling local Syrian forces not only to beat back Islamic State fighters but to hold freed territory until a new central government, established in Damascus, can take over. Since there is already an established central government in Damascus, it is safe to assume these regions carved out by US-backed militants will never be relinquished until Damascus falls. If successful, it will mean the Balkanization of Syria, and its cessation as a unified nation. Comparing this recent admission by the Washington Post, predicated on fighting ISIS, with plans laid out before the rise of ISIS, reveals that ISIS itself is only one of many in a long line of pretexts used to implement US objectives that were laid out, clearly, before the first shot was even fired during the Syrian crisis. In the March 2012 Brookings Institution Middle East Memo #21 Assessing Options for Regime Change it is stated specifically that (emphasis added): An alternative is for diplomatic efforts to focus first on how to end the violence and how to gain humanitarian access, as is being done under Annans leadership. This may lead to the creation of safe-havens and humanitarian corridors, which would have to be backed by limited military power. This would, of course, fall short of U.S. goals for Syria and could preserve Asad in power. From that starting point, however, it is possible that a broad coalition with the appropriate international mandate could add further coercive action to its efforts. The plan to use US special forces to take and hold Syrian territory was also specifically laid out in a June 2015 Brookings document literally titled, Deconstructing Syria: A new strategy for Americas most hopeless war. In it, it stated that (emphasis added): 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 the presence of special forces as well. The approach would benefit from Syrias open desert terrain which could allow creation of buffer zones that could be monitored for possible signs of enemy attack through a combination of technologies, patrols, and other methods that outside special forces could help Syrian local fighters set up. Were Assad foolish enough to challenge these zones, even if he somehow forced the withdrawal of the outside special forces, he would be likely to lose his air power in ensuing retaliatory strikes by outside forces, depriving his military of one of its few advantages over ISIL. Thus, he would be unlikely to do this. It is clear that Americas most recent scheme is simply a continuation of its long-standing criminal conspiracy arrayed against Syria and exposed as early as 2007 by Seymour Hersh. The United States clearly can stop ISIS, and without setting a single boot down on Syrian soil, or flying a single sortie in Syrias skies. For Russia, it only has the authorization of Syrias legitimate government to operate within Syrian territory to confront ISIS. Ideally, Russia would want to interdict ISIS supplies and reinforcements before they reached Syrian territory, however, Moscow does not have the cooperation of nations harboring, aiding, and abetting the terrorist organization namely Turkey and Jordan. Additionally, Russia has limited leverage over other sponsors of ISIS, including Saudi Arabia whose entire existence is owed to billions in weapons sales from the United States, a ring of US military bases built around it throughout the Persian Gulf to protect it from its ever-increasing number of well-earned regional enemies, and the constant political legitimacy granted to it by the Wests diplomatic and media circles. The United States, however, is based in Turkey. It is based at Incirlik Air Base, and has for several years now, operated along the Turkish-Syrian border its Central Intelligence Agency providing weapons to terrorists, its special forces carrying out cross-border operations, and its militarys administration of training camps to prepare terrorists before they enter Syrian territory, thus perpetuating the conflict. The United States also holds significant leverage over Saudi Arabia, its political and military support being essential for the regime in Riyadhs continued existence. At any moment, should the US truly be interested in extinguishing this fire, it can shut down the Turkish-Syrian border, end Saudi aid to terrorist groups operating in Syria, and end the conflict in weeks, if not days. That it refuses to do so, illustrates the key role it plays in creating and perpetuating it, and more specifically, the creation and perpetuation of the Islamic State itself. Syria and its allies must recognize this fact and formulate a realistic strategy to counter it. Negotiating with state-sponsors of the most appalling terrorist organization to have walked the Earth in recent memory does not seem like a viable option. Instead, Syria and Russia should seek the expansion of their coalition inside Syria, and in particular, in the regions the US seeks to carve out. An initial and overwhelming sized commitment of peacekeeping troops from various nations placed along the Turkish-Syrian border would effectively block all efforts by the US to perpetuate this conflict further. If that is not possible, Syria and Russia must attempt to expand their operations across all of Syria faster than the US can spread chaos. For now, the US has a handful of special forces serving as tenuous human shields for terrorists targeted by Russian and Syrian military operations. These are still vulnerable, and still capable of being turned back. The US, however, will undoubtedly continue to expand its presence in Syria, to a point where it may not be possible to turn them back. Calling out the arsonists, and removing them before the fire irreversibly takes over the entire structure that is the current nation-state of Syria, may be the only way to prevent Syria from becoming the Levants Libya. It will also stop a dangerous geopolitical blitzkrieg clearly aimed at Tehran, Moscow, and Beijing next.

Palistine is the example that the Muslim world is being groomed for. I hope that the US government does not create a false flag by sending American soldiers to stand under the Russian air force that really fights terrorists. After all the Pentagon has already admitted they only have 4 or 5 of their terrorists in theatre. 
3	Today in History: FDR and Congress Take U.S. off the Gold StandardBy Michael Boldin Two months later, on June 5, 1933, Congress passed House Joint Resolution (HJR) 192. It was passed to suspendthe gold standard and do an end-run around the Constitution. Since then, no one in America has been able to lawfullyrequirea debt to be paid in gold. Under the Constitution, however, things are much different. In Article I, Section 10, it mandates that No State shallmake any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts. To assure uniform value to the coins and currencies of the Unites States, Whereas the holding of or dealing in gold affect public interest, and are therefore subject to proper regulation and restriction; and Whereas the existing emergency has disclosed that provisions of obligations which purport to give the obligee a right to require payment in gold or a particular kind of coin or currency of the United States, or in an amount in money of the United States measured thereby, obstruct the power of the Congress to regulate the value of the money of the United States, and are inconsistent with the declared policy of the Congress to maintain at all times the equal power of every dollar, coined or issued by the United States, in the markets and in the payment of debts. Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that (a) every provision contained in or made with respect to any obligation which purports to give the obligee a right to require payments in gold or a particular kind of coin or currency, or in an amount in money of the United States measured thereby, is declared to be against public policy; and no such provision shall be contained in or made with respect to any obligation hereafter incurred. Every obligation, heretofore or hereafter incurred, whether or not any such provision is contained therein or made with respect thereto, shall be discharged upon payment, dollar for dollar, in any coin or currency which at time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts. Any such provision contained in any law authorizing obligations to be issued by or under authority of the United States, is hereby repealed, but the repeal of any such provision shall not invalidate any other provision or authority contained in such law. (b) As used in this resolution, the term obligation means any obligation (including every obligation of and to the United States, excepting currency) payable in money of the United States; and the term coin or currency means coin or currency of the United States, including Federal Reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal Reserve banks and national banking associations. Sec. 2 The last sentence of paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of section 43 of the Act entitled An Act to relieve the existing national economic emergency by increasing agricultural purchasing power, to raise revenue for extraordinary expenses incurred by reason of such emergency, to provide emergency relief with respect to agricultural indebtedness, to provide for the orderly liquidation of joint-stock land banks, and of other purposes;, approved May 12, 1933, is amended to read as follows: All coins and currencies of the United Stated (including Federal Reserve notes and circulating notes of the Federal Reserve banks and national banking associations) heretofore or hereafter coined or issued, shall be legal tender for all debts, public and private, public charges, taxes, duties, and dues, except that gold coins, when below the standard weight and limit of tolerance provided by law for the single piece, shall be legal tender only at valuation in proportion to their actual weight. Approved, June 5, 1933, 4:40 p.m. 31 U.S.C.A. 462, 463 FDR was almost as big a criminal as Woodrow the treasonous Wilson. Gold collar scum. Everything is a rich mans trick. If FDR had thrown in with the nazis instead of that looser nation island the world might look a little different.

2	Liberals Attack Ann Coulter After She Makes Huge Stand For Christianity On Live TV [VIDEO] Ann Coulter caused quite the controversy when she appeared on The OReilly Factor last week to discuss the silence of Christians amongst liberal attacks on faith and conscience. Its Christianity that the left hates most of all, because that is the foundation of the country and all of our freedoms come from that, Coulter told OReilly. Theyre the ones who are trying to tear down this country by going directly at the heart of America, which is Christianity. Coulter also held her fellow Christians accountable, asking why they havent spoken out about the most recent controversies. Where are the Christians and where are the Republicans? she asked. Im glad this Mike Pence isnt running for president. Theyre falling like toy soldiersThe small town owners of [a] pizzeria have more courage than most Christian leaders and certainly the Republican Party. Besides eternal life with your creator, the one thing every Christian should have is courage. OReilly agreed with Coulters comments. There isnt an organized attempt as there is in the gay lobby, in the abortion, womens reproductive rights lobby, he concluded. Youve got NOW. Youve got all these pressure groups. You dont have anything on the Christian side. Isnt that strange? Watch the interaction below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Coulter and OReilly? 
3	U.S. Knew About 9/11 Warning, Staged Egypt Revolution: Ex Interior MinisterBrandon Turbeville One of these claims was that the United States was behind the 2011 Egyptian revolution which overthrew Hosni Mubarak. The other, however, was that the Egyptian intelligence agencies and Interior Ministry received information regarding a developing terrorist operation against the United States in September, 2001 and that the Egyptians warned the United States twice ahead of time. According to El-Adly, these warnings were completely ignored. NOTE: The translation provided below is a rough translation of the statements, not a professional one. In his televised testimony, El-Adly stated, I talked to the President (Mubarak) and I told him that I have information that a huge terrorist attack will happen in the USA, and I asked him if we should tell them [the Americans]. He said OK. We contacted the CIA and FBI and told them about the information, they said Thanks. On August of the same year we received the information that the (operation) entered its course of implementation (is entering its final steps). An operation like this takes time, preparations and arrangements, etc. This conversation was recorded between us and the source. I called the President and told him the information is confirmed, Should we tell them? He said Tell them. We called the people in the USA and told them that the operation entered the course of implementation. They said OK and Thanks. Then the attack on the WTC happened. This was the operation. Do you see how cooperative we were?!?! This is why I am furious and enraged. I cooperated with them, and in return they hit my organization and destroyed (ruined) the country (Egypt)!!! El-Adly then continued discussing how, according to him, in 2002, Mubarak questioned President Bush about the fact that the United States was warned about the impending attack but failed to act. El-Adly stated, If El-Adlys statement is correct then it seems that the same infantile argument was used to quiet the Egyptians as was used when Condoleezza Rice was forced to confront the famous 9/11 memo. Regardless, El-Adlys statements corroborate what was known some time ago in terms of Egyptian knowledge of a potential terrorist attack inside the United States as well as the fact that the Egyptians passed this intelligence on to the appropriate American intelligence agencies. The AP reported on December 7, 2001 that Mubarak claims to have been aware of an impending terrorist attack and that he warned the United States ahead of time. The AP report states, Also during the testimony, El-Adly stated that the United States was responsible for the 2011 uprising in Egypt that deposed Hosni Mubarak. He claims that the United States had a two-fold plan. The first part of the plan was to offer financial incentives to adopt the leadership model provided by the US and, if the leaders refused, to accuse them of being dictators. The second part of the plot was to mobilize the golden youth of these countries and use them to destabilize and overthrow the existing governments. In essence, El-Adly revealed that the United States planned and carried out a Color Revolution in Egypt in 2011. Specifically, El-Adly claims that the United States trained activists within the Kefaya and April 6 Youth Movement as well as the Muslim Brotherhood in Qatar in order to act as destabilization agents in Middle Eastern countries. El-Adly also claims that foreign elements were brought in to the movements that these foreigners and initiated violence in the streets across Egypt, particularly in Suez and, eventually, Cairo. El-Adly describes security forces as showing surprising restraint throughout the entire ordeal. El-Adly also stated that there were moles within the Egyptian police forces who gave weapons to Palestinian Police who then fired on Egyptian activists for the purposes of framing Egyptian police. As Ahram Online reports, The second part of the US approach was mobilising youth in those countries and teaching them how to demand their rights, demand democracy and how to revolt against existing regimes, El-Adly added. He added that the US trained youths in Egyptian opposition groups Kefaya and the 6 April Youth Movement, and Muslim Brotherhood youth in Qatar and other Arab countries, to learn democracy. *** In addition, El-Adly claimed that Egyptian police had given some of their weapons to Palestinian police, who had then used these weapons to kill Egyptian protesters and frame the Egyptian police. El-Adly described himself, as well as those prosecuted alongside him, as national figures who have performed their duty to the fullest. That the Egyptian 2011 uprising was nothing more than a Western-backed Color Revolution is clearly documented. As F. William Engdahl wrote for Global Research in February 2011, They are being organized in a Ukrainian-style high-tech electronic fashion with large internet-linked networks of youth tied to Mohammed ElBaradei and the banned and murky secret Muslim Brotherhood, whose links to British and American intelligence and freemasonry are widely reported. At this point the anti-Mubarak movement looks like anything but a threat to US influence in the region, quite the opposite. It has all the footprints of another US-backed regime change along the model of the 2003-2004 Color Revolutions in Georgia and Ukraine and the failed Green Revolution against Irans Ahmedinejad in 2009. Engdahls analysis turned out to be accurate indeed. Still, if El-Adlys statements regarding the foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks which were passed to the American intelligence community and subsequently ignored are true (which they appear to be based on other related information), such information coming less than a month away from the anniversary of 9/11 should serve as an incentive to continue to lobby for a real investigation of 9/11 as well as the refusal to allow the official story to remain unchallenged. Likewise, his statement regarding the 2011 uprising should stand as yet another piece of evidence that the so-called democracy movements taking place across the Middle East were nothing more than Western-backed coups and destabilizations. El-Adlys video testimony is posted below for those who speak Arabic and would like to add to or challenge any part of the above translation.

2	VIDEO: Liberals Destroy 9/11 Memorial And The Excuse They Gave Is Sick According to recent reports, a group of liberal students at Middlebury College decided to destroy a September 11 memorial. According to the students, the memorial was violating a sacred Abenaki burial group. As a symbol of patriotism and unity, Middleburys College Republicans and Democrats made the decision to place 2,977 flags in front of Mead Memorial Chapels front law every September 11. They have done this on every anniversary of the tragic event since 2001. Each flag represents an American that was killed in the attack. I got there just as they were taking the very last of them out of the ground and putting them in piles, claims Ben McKinney, president of College Republicans. At first, I thought the group was comprised of College Democrats helping put the flags away before the rain rolled in, but then I realized what they were doing. As soon as he did, McKinney decided to approach the protestors. He was told that the flags were being taken down to stop American imperialism. There was no discussion, no comprise, McKinney told reporters. We asked if we could but them somewhere else, but they wouldnt listen. What do you think of these students actions?

2	They Told This Military Mom To Take Down Her Flag, So She Does THIS Instead [VIDEO] This is absolutely outrageous. According to reports, a Minnesota mother of two U.S. service members was recently told by her condos association that she needed to remove the American flag flying outside of her home. Angie Hildebrandt claims that the Southdale Gardens Condominium Association told her that the flag violated its policy on exterior displays. The rules do mention hanging garments and other items, but do not specifically mention flags. Hildebrandt has been using the Freedom to Display The American Flag Act of 2005 in her defense, and the local community has quickly rallied around her. But not everyone was thrilled about her taking a stand. One morning, on the day of the rally, she noticed that her flag had been shredded. It was rather disheartening that someone would be so disrespectful to this flag that so many have fought and died for, she told reporters. Hildebrandt has a son in the Army and another in the Marine Corps, and claims that she has flown the flag everywhere she has lived previously without a problem.

3	5D Quartz Coin Can Store All Human History for 14 Billion YearsBy Jake Anderson The research team from the Universitys Optoelectronics Research Center first experimentally tested the technology in 2013. The final iteration encodes files in five dimensions (size, orientation + 3 dimensional position of nanostructures), writing with ultrafast, intense pulses of light. The team selected major documents from the pantheon of human history including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), Newtons Opticks, Magna Carta, and Kings James Bible to be digitally stored for up to 13.8 billion years, which happens to be the approximate current age of the universe. With this technology, the human race is now capable of storing the entirety of its history in perpetuity. Once such a device is catapulted into space, it is possible that someday an extraterrestrial species will receive a cosmic message in a bottle containing everything from ancient Sanskrit texts and Shakespeare to Seinfeld and Breaking Bad.

'An overwhelming majority would opt to stay an extra half houreven at the end of a long Fridaythan share the same personal space with Richard for the 20 seconds it takes to get down to the lobby,' HR manager Andrea Tibbets said. 'When in the elevator with Richard, 45 percent of those polled said they avoid him by patting their pockets as if realizing they'd forgotten their keys, 29 percent pretend something is wrong with their phone, and 2 percent think maybe Richard's actually not that bad.'

2	This Surprising State Is Now Requiring Drug Tests For Welfare Recipients It has been a long uphill battle trying to protect American taxpayers against those who sign up for benefits and subsequently abuse them. But it appears that Michigan may be leading the pack when it comes to implementing restrictions to ensure that this doesnt happen. House Bill 4118 and Senate Bill 275 will combine to become a one-year pilot program that will be executed in three counties in Michigan. Under the new program, welfare applicants will be required to take a drug test (if use is suspected). If drugs are found in the applicants system, benefits will be suspended for six months. At the time that the individual was found to be using, they would be referred to a series of treatment programs. If they refuse to take the help, or continue to fail drug testing, their benefits can be terminated all togetherand would not be reinstated until the state confirms a negative drug test. This pilot program is intended to help ensure recipients get the wrap-around services they need to overcome drug addiction and lead successful lives, Gov. Rick Snyder told reporters. While some argue that the legislation will cost more money or others argue that the program perpetuates stereotypes, those frustrated with the program see it as a breath of fresh air. What do you think? Do you support the new program?

2	Senate Launches MASSIVE Investigation On Obama After He Did THIS According to recent reports, the United States Senates Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations is launching a investigation into Obamas connections with OneVoice Management, a Washington-based group. The groups subsidiary, Victory 15, has been actively speaking out against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel. The bipartisan committee marks the first time both Democrats and Republicans have truly come together to investigate Obamas actions. Obamas State Department reportedly gave OneVoice taxpayer-funded grants in the amount of $350,000, and if those grants in any way financed the efforts in Israel, Obama could be facing serious criminal charges. Legally, OneVoice is forbidden from targeted the Prime Minister, and they have denied working with Obama in the upcoming election in Israel. OneVoices 2014 annual nonprofit statement tells another story however, and the organizations Israeli branch announced that it would be embarking on a groundbreaking campaign around the Israeli elections. Netanyahu has come forward with statements that other governments are actively campaigning against him, and has pointed directly to European countries and left-wing people abroad. What do you think? Could Obama be attempting to sway elections this month?

2	2 Al Qaeda Terrorists That Killed Soldiers Have Entered The U.S Disguised As Refugees President Obama has made it clear that he intends to move forward with his plan for Islamic Refugees, even though weve time and time again seen the security threats that come with doing so. In case the president has forgotten, here are some of the attacks weve seen at the hand of refugees. In May of 2010, Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani Radical Islamic terrorist, attempted a car bombing in Times Square in New York City. Fortunately, the ignition of the explosive that he built malfunctioned. He was arrested after trying to board Emrites Flight 202 to Dubai later that month. Eventually, he admitted to attempting an attack and provided information about the Pakistani Islamic Terrorist Training Camp where he was a student. According to a report released by the House Homeland Security Committee in 2010, two Al Qaeda terrorists who had previously killed American soldiers in Iraq were able to enter the country as refugees. Waad Ramadan Alwan and Mohanad Shareef Hammadi were settled in Kentucky, even after bragging about having the soldiers for lunch and dinner. An FBI report later stated that the two terrorists were caught handling weapons, including a machine gun and missile launcher, with the intention of smuggling the weapons to terrorist organizations in Iraq. And we all know about the two Tsarnaev brothers who entered the United States as refugees, and later were responsible for the Boston Marathon bombing. They were responsible for the death of 3 innocent Americans, and wounded up to 264 others. The stories go on and on, but Obama is paying no attention to them. Neither is he paying attention to the warnings of the FBI or Republican leaders throughout the country. What do you think? Does Obama need to be stopped before he moves forward with executive action?

1	Noting that they are far more likely than their peers to have sufficient savings in their later years, a new study released Wednesday by the National Institute on Retirement Security confirmed that Nazi treasure hunters are currently following a more realistic retirement plan than 86 percent of the country. After surveying over 30,000 expected retirees, weve concluded that those investing their time, money, and energy into expeditions to retrieve rumored stores of Nazi gold are better situated for long-term financial security than the vast majority of middle-aged Americans, said lead author Roger Crowden, explaining that the typical American retirement investment portfolio was less capable of yielding enough income to support the final 20 years of life than a combination of deciphering codes, exploring abandoned tunnel systems, and arranging dives to the bottom of lakes in the Austrian Alps. Simply put, endlessly pursuing a hidden Nazi fortress rumored to contain a priceless collection of stolen Renaissance art is infinitely preferable to living off the $125 the average American puts aside every month. The report follows a related study that found exhaustively searching for an ancestral connection to a royal family remains one of the most practical means of funding your childs college education. 
3	Sheriffs Dept Demands ACE Hardware Stop Selling Heating Supplies to Water Protectors, ACE CompliesBy Claire Bernish In other words, law enforcement has effectively quashed the sale of potentially life-saving supplies to those encamped at Standing Rock as bitter winter conditions grip the Oceti Sakowin and other camps. selfnews and live-streamer, Kevin Gilbertt, whose video of a police offensive against water protectors on Highway 1806s Backwater Bridge went viral and exposed barbarous police tactics, received by email a letter defining ACE Hardwares sudden change in policy with a contact phone number. Just wanted to check on a policy that Id heard about, to make sure [of] the truth of this policy, he asks the ACE Hardware contact, Camillia, as he recorded the phone conversation. Ive been informed that in the area around the pipeline in North Dakota, ACE Hardware were no longer able to sell anything considered incendiary, including propane. Can you confirm that as being true? That is true, ACE Hardware stores in the vicinity of the recent pipeline protests have been requested by law enforcement officials to refrain from selling materials that could be used as incendiary devices; so ACEs number one priority is to protect the safety of its employees, customers, and the communities each store serves ACE will continue to cooperate with law enforcement officials. ACEs compliance is not a reflection of any corporate viewpoint on the actual pipeline project, Camillia states. Local law enforcement officials have apparently taken it upon themselves to determine precisely how North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymples recent emergency, mandatory evacuation should be interpreted. On Tuesday, the Morton County Sheriffs Department first announced plans for a blockade on incoming supplies including food to the Standing Rock Sioux water protectors and their thousands of supporters camped near Cannon Ball. Although the governors office quickly reversed those plans, announcing there would be no such blockade, the sheriffs department modified blocking the delivery of supplies by stating it would issue fines of $1,000 to anyone attempting to deliver needed equipment to Standing Rock. Dalrymples emergency evacuation order came as a winter storm began to grip the area but it has been unclear whether it or an eviction order for December 5, issued by the Army Corps of Engineers has standing authority. Thwarted by the governor, ACE Hardwares sudden reversal of policy appears to be the sheriffs next step in attempting to clear the camps of water protectors but their vow to stay out the bitter North Dakota winter means a companys refusal to sell necessary heating equipment could be asking for tragedy. Per the letter Gilbertt received from ACE Hardware: Hello Dr.Scott Litch, Thank you for contacting the Ace Care Center. If you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us and refer to incident 2529138. Have a great day! Sincerely, Camillia H. | Ace Care Center (888) 827-4223 Helpful is our Business Caring is our Commitment Although that email and phone call were only one confirmation, other callers contacted ACE Hardwares corporate headquarters for confirmation. In the following video, beginning around the 15:20 mark, you will hear the companys headquarters, indeed, confirm the original account of compliance with local law enforcement demands: This effort to deny water protectors fundamentally necessary supplies as temperatures dip well below the freezing mark is a clear violation of human rights, a dismissal of law, and a tangible danger to human life. Among those camped are tribal elders, the elderly, young children, pregnant women, newborn babies, and others. Arbitrarily depriving them of a needed heat source is a direct threat to life. Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier has claimed water protectors used propane tanks to improvise explosives during the conflict with police on November 20 but no evidence, other than highly suspect pictures with no context, has ever been produced by his office. This is a developing story and will be updated if and when further information is made available. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Where are the veterans with access to helicopters? Airlift these guys supplies! This sheriff governor need to be jailed. ACE is bucking for A NATION WIDE BOYCOTT ! If the pro pipeline peeps had met with the protestors to ensure water safety, this would not be happening. As for this is the companies proptery that they can do what ever they want with it that is completely false. It their operation will put a large number of the Peoples water quality in jeopardy, they cannot do it. Its called Do no harm!!! We need to charge the Governor, the Sheriff, all the officers responsible and the pipeline execs with child abuse, abuse of the elderly, attempted murder, denial of protected rights, aggravated assault and battery and those just for starters. Then we need to hang the lot of them by their wrists higher than Haman while in their skivvies and spray them with a fire hose continuously for several hours. See how those bastards like it. Yet theres no orders to stop suppliers selling materials to build mosques that are used as terrorist cell HQs. We are in the midst of an internal war being waged against citizens for the nefarious purpose of bringing down the republic. #2529138 Boycott General Strike of ACE called for via Fake News visitors. Nation responds via boycotting ACE hardware. Buy from Tractor Supply, Harbor Freight, Hardmans, any other hardware supply store except ACE. Yes, we understand they are not making a political statement regarding their position of the pipeline. Acting in a manner that causes people harm is a statement in and of itself, ACE hardware is choosing hate over love. They and all others will soon witness the manifesting of love being victorious. Choose hate and death for your business, youll have no business when those choosing love and life see you doing so. Finish the pipeline, stop the Indian / environmental protestor bullshit. They had years to state their issues and they were taken in account. With over 100,000 miles of pipline in the USA, very little problems, especially with new ones with additional sensors, remote alerts, and automatic shutdowns. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/587e41ee2f126349d5d30b005072b7d08adab1aa62f8477eb21963fcc6c4b78f.jpg Your comment shows just WHO the LOSER is~ https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/428e57a885062baefc001f33ec8c3e920278c41342acead45738153f081e2e35.jpg 
3	U.S. Sends Warships to South China Sea in an Apparent Attempt to Kick Off WW IIIBy Jay Syrmopoulos In a move meant to project U.S. military power to the Chinese government, American officials announced that U.S. Navy warships will sail directly through a Chinese claimed 12-nautical mile zone in the disputed region of the South China Sea. The contested waters around the Spratly Islands, which China claims as its own sovereign territory, have been the cause of intense controversy. The U.S. has refused to recognize Chinas territorial claims and believes the disputed area resides in international waters. Last month, at a joint press conference with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Obama said the two held a candid discussion about the disputed territory. I conveyed to President Xi our significant concerns over land reclamation, construction and the militarization of disputed areas, which makes it harder for countries in the region to resolve disagreements peacefully, Obama said. I indicated that the United States will continue to sail, fly and operate anywhere that international law allows, Obama added. Islands in the South China Sea since ancient times are Chinas territory, Xi resolutely stated. The rapid development and scale of the artificial islands created by China have raised alarm bells in numerous other states in the region, a number of which stake their own territorial claims in the area. China is essentially fortifying its strength projection and defensive capabilities in an area that had been relatively inaccessible before now. The fact that a rising superpower is claiming ownership over an area of strategic importance adjacent to their own coast is relatively unsurprising. According to a report in the New York Times: So far the country has built port facilities, military buildings and an airstrip on the islands, and recent imagery shows evidence of two more airstrips under construction. The installations bolster Chinas foothold in the Spratly Islands, a disputed scattering of reefs and islands in the South China Sea more than 500 miles from the Chinese mainland. The decision by the U.S., to revert to a projection of military strength in the region, reveals a complete diplomatic failure of the recent talks between President Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping over this issue during Xis recent visit to the White House. Although the islands are too small to support large military units, they allow for the Chinese to project a sustained sea and air presence in the area. The U.S. position is that the Chinese are behaving in a manner inconsistent with international law, according to Pacific Fleet Admiral Scott Swift. Its my sense that some nations view freedom of the seas as up for grabs, as something that can be taken down and redefined by domestic law or by reinterpreting international law, Swift said, according to a report by Reuters. Some nations continue to impose superfluous warnings and restrictions on freedom of the seas in their exclusive economic zones and claim territorial water rights that are inconsistent with (the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea). This trend is particularly egregious in contested waters. Additionally, an anonymous defense source told Foreign Policy that the U.S. was determined to put on a show of military might. Its not a question of if, but when, the official was quoted as saying. According to the Guardian: Many experts believe relations between Washington and Beijing have hit their lowest point in years, with tussles and friction over a growing list of issues including cyber espionage, currency manipulation, and human rights. The U.S. would be severely mistaken if it believes the sending of a warship through what China perceives as sovereign territory will be perceived as anything other than offensive aggression by an imperialist power. The U.S. is already engaged in proxy wars with Russia in Ukraine and Syria, which have the potential to devolve into an open conflict between the superpowers. Attempting to intimidate the Chinese in their own backyard seems like an extremely ill conceived move at this time. American actions will inevitably only serve to bring the Russo-Sino strategic military alliance into closer consultation with one another in an attempt to stem U.S. global imperialism. [It is] hard to see how this ends well, but the only other option for the US is to concede, which will materially damage US credibility in Asia, be viewed by[Chinese] policymakers as further evidence that the US is in terminal decline and be an additional impetus for Beijing to push harder against the US in Asia, China expert Bill Bishop wrote in his Sinocism newsletter on Friday. While this may be extremely good news for defense contractors and weapons manufacturers, its extremely dangerous news for the rest of the world. One strategic miscalculation could result in events spiraling drastically out of control.

A slightly different reading of the situation would suggest the US promoting the interests of Chinas neighbors at the expense of China to hem in China and draw them into a regional conflict, Much the same way that the US has fermented trouble right on Russias doorstep in Ukraine, by supporting the right wing nationalists and promoting the overthrow of the democratically elected government. The US and China are engaged in a wrestling match on many fronts. What better way to weaken an opponent than fermenting trouble right on their border. Switching their focus from strategic events to domestic problems. Leaving them weakened and giving the US a free hand in their quest for world domination. A brilliant counter move would be for Russia and China to project their power to a region that is hostile to the US, but is of huge strategic importance.Thus moving the proxy war to a far more favorable territory.. Smokescreen for the synthesis of an international bankster controlled global digital currency (and global governance). Recall the 1988 cover of Rothschild owned The Economist with the striking image a new global Phoenix currency arising out of the ashes of the old nation state currencies. The article said to expect the Phoenix around 2018. National economic boundaries are slowly dissolvingThe Phoenix zone would impose tight constraints on national governments. There would be no such thing, for instance, as a national monetary policy. This had the potential to be a good article if the author, Jay Syrmopoulos had done his homework and actually pulled out a map to see where the Spratly islands are located. In speaking of China, Jay Syrmopoulos says the Spratlys are adjacent to their own coast 
1	In a major breakthrough that has sent shockwaves through the basketball community, the nations preeminent scientists announced Thursday that a roster capable of supporting Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard could theoretically exist somewhere in the NBA. With 30 teams and over 400 players in the league, we believe a 15-man roster that is able to support Dwight Howard is out there somewhere, said MIT theoretical physicist Dr. Jonathan Mueller, explaining that researchers are still looking for a lineup consisting of the perfect combination of elements, including balanced role players, a primary scorer with no traces of ego, and a low-pressure atmosphere, necessary to adequately sustain Howard. Weve come very close to developing rosters that could support him in isolated conditions, but they are incredibly unstable and always break apart in a matter of seconds. And we thought we had identified a suitable roster in Los Angeles last year, but it turned out to be far too volatile. Mueller, who confirmed some progress has been made over the last year, expressed doubts that Howard will actually be able to successfully inhabit an NBA team within the foreseeable future. UPDATE: Scientists postulate Howard could hypothetically inhabit one of the smaller teams in the remote cluster of NBA franchises occupying the Rust Belt. 
2	Group Of Violent Muslims Attack Innocent Christian And Then Something AMAZING Happens [VIDEO] A recently discovered video clip has been making its way around the internet lately, reminding us all what a good fight really looks like. The footage shows three Muslim men attacking a Christian man on the streets of Moscow. Just moments after throwing blows, they realize they have made a huge mistake. Against the odds, the Christian quickly turns the situation around and teaches the group to be careful who they mess with. Watch the confrontation below and tell us what you think! 
1	Saying the eye-opening experience has forever altered his worldview, Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus admitted to reporters Friday that a play-action pass play by the New York Jets had totally shattered his youthful innocence. I saw Ryan [Fitzpatrick] complete the handoff, so I immediately tackled the running back, only to find out that he didnt even have the ballit was all just a lie, said Dareus, adding that watching the runner mimic carrying the ball as the quarterback dropped back to pass made him finally realize the truly terrible, deceitful things that players are capable of behind the line of scrimmage. You go through your whole life thinking that everything is simple, that people are good, that a run play is a run play and a pass play is a pass play. But you know what? Thats not the world we live in. Seeing that really forced me to grow upand Ill never be the same again. Shortly after the play, Dareus was spotted removing his helmet and walking off the field in the middle of a crucial third-and-short, muttering under his breath that there is no God. 
1	TOPEKA, KSAs of Tuesday, Topeka mayor William Bunten, 74, is the nation's highest-ranking Republican official not facing indictment or public reprimand. 'I have always prided myself on running a clean campaign, a clean office, and cleaning house when necessary,' Bunten said. 'However, I have no comment on the charges facing my party's leadership, fundraising apparatus, known associates, or advisory staff.' Bunten is the highest-ranked non-indicted Republican since 1974, when Hansen County, SD schoolboard secretary Cal Albright was forced to stand in as the president of the United States for two years. 
1	Making his lifelong dream of becoming president a make-believe reality, 1996 Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole created a pretend White House Monday by draping a white bedsheet over a card table. Dole advisors say the former Kansas senator will reside in the pretend White House for the next four years. From under the card table, Dole told reporters, 'This is Bob Dole's special White House. Bob Dole doesn't need anybody else to get to the White House.' Sources close to Dole say that his White House, erected in a corner of the basement in his Russell, KS, home, is merely the first tangible manifestation of a larger make-believe universe in which Dole has resided for years. 
3	Mans House Gets Broken Into, Cop Responds and Shoots Family DogLily Dane Last Friday morning, Cole Middleton arrived home around 11 to find that his home had been broken into. His guns and iPad were stolen, along with his wifes jewelry. He called 911. Middleton, a farmer and cattle rancher, decided to help his grandfather harvest silage during the 2.5 hour wait for the police to arrive. When Rains County Deputy Jerred Dooley finally showed up, Middleton and his father were working in a nearby field. The familys three-year-old Blue Heeler dog, Candy, ran to see who arrived on their property, like dogs typically do. Middleton told KLTV what happened next: By the time Middleton and his father caught up with her, it was too late. She was dying of a gunshot wound to the head. I shot your dog, sorry, said Dooley. Middleton said Candy was shot behind her ear, which he believes means she was not facing the deputy. That wound didnt kill Candy, though, as Middleton explains: Dooley went to his car and called for backup, and ordered Middleton and his father do not approach his vehicle. PoliceStateUSA described what happened next: Middleton and his wife Jayna buried Candy at the foot of a tree where they had spent time together. Rains County Sheriff David Traylor refused an on-camera interview with KLTV. He said the case is now being investigated by the Texas Rangers. When it comes to family pets, it seems that many law enforcement officers use the Shoot first, ask questions later approach. Why are cops so afraid of family dogs? There is not a single documented case of a law enforcement officer being killed by a dog. Yet, some groups have attempted to count how often dogs are killed by cops, and they estimate that a dog is shot by law enforcement every 98 minutes. Im sorry just doesnt cut it. How about training officers how to peacefully handle family dogs, or at least teaching them how to differentiate between threatening and normal canine behavior? 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! 
2	Fast Food Chain Refuses To Back Down In Support Of Their Christian Faith In the eight years that Barack Obama has been our president, weve seen a growing resentment toward Christians in this country. Christians have been told not to say Merry Christmas so that they dont offend those of other religions. Donald Trump has made it clear he will not tolerate this kind of discrimination. Now it seems this message is already being embraced by businesses throughout the country. Reddit user jrosen94 shared an awesome sandwich wrap from Jimmy Johns this week with a Merry Christmas sticker across it. The post received more than 6,000 upvotes. Another Reddit user, barefootoutside, also made a comment about the return of Merry Christmas. A cashier told me and very Lebanese mother Goodbye and Merry Christmas! And my mother looks at me and says: See? Its because of Trump that people are saying Merry Christmas again! 
1	Speaking with reporters while opening Ziploc baggies of pretzel twists and baby carrots, local man Stan Keppler said Monday that he has started bringing in lunch from home to cut down on his small joys. Making your own lunch each day is a great way to reduce your simple pleasures throughout the weekits already made a huge difference for me, the 38-year-old insurance underwriter said as he unwrapped a plain turkey sandwich from aluminum foil that he had woken up 15 minutes early this morning to prepare. I used to go out for lunch with coworkers and actually enjoy myself every day, but now I just sit at my desk and eat something I packed from home. Its quick, easy, and has cut my weekly sense of gratification by at least half. Keppler went on to say that he is considering canceling his cable service as well, which would save him 90 hours of genuine relaxation time a month. 
2	Barack Obama Goes After Donald Trump... Immediately Realizes That Was A Huge Mistake President Barack Obama may have been willing to play nice with Donald Trump when he came to the White House for the first transition meeting, but it didnt take long for his true colors to come out. Obama has half-heartedly encouraged the nation to stand behind Trump, but he has failed to address the many violent protests to keep him out of office. Apparently, Obama thinks he can get away with unenthusiastically feigning support while simultaneously spewing venom in the President-elects direction. President Barack Obama will speak up against Donald Trumps presidency when Americas ideals are at stake but will not inset himself into political battles, he said, in the clearest statement yet on how he will carry himself after leaving office, the UK Telegraph reported this week. This is a laughable assertion, given that Obamas policies have only harmed the American people. Not surprisingly, his remark backfired almost immediately. This empty threat does nothing but demonstrate Obamas entitlement and true agenda. What do you think? Are you grateful to have Obama out of the White House once and for all? 
2	BREAKING: Everything Is Changing At Fox News... Will You Still Tune In According to recent reports, Time Warner might be purchased by ATT for a whopping $85 billion. The potential acquisition raises serious questions about the future of Fox News. The Political Insider reported that the new company would combine the ownership of CNN, FBO, Warner Brothers, among many other famous studios and networks. It is rumored that CNN chief Jeff Zucker could end up as the new head of Fox News. If that were the case, the network would be changed forever. Top media journalist and author Michael Wolff theorized that if either News Corp. COO Peter Chernin or current CNN chief Jeff Zucker dont replace Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes, Zucker could be tapped by Murdochs sons to replace Roger Ailes. With Bewkes gone, his heir apparent, John Martin is likely to be out too, with the betting for the new Time Warner chief on Peter Chernin, the former News Corp COO who operates a small joint venture with ATT, even though he has been out of big-company management for seven years, Wolff wrote. CNNs Jeff Zucker who, having worked for GE when he ran NBC, might be considered a more logical bridge to ATT and, if rebuffed, might likely be open to the Murdoch sons interest in having him come to run Fox News. (Such speculation has led people inside ATT having a moment of being blinded by the stars to a suggestion of hiring former Fox chief Roger Ailes to run CNN and turning media as we know it inside out.) What do you think? Is this huge news for Fox News? 
2	Hillary Cant Seem To Form Clear Sentences After Being Forced To Speak On Classified Emails When Hillary made an appearance on CBS Face The Nation, she was questioned on the most recent classified emails that came out on Friday. As the State Department, said, just this week, that did not happen and it never would have happened, because, thats just not the way I treated classified information, she said of the email that plainly showed she indeed did treat this particular piece of classified information that way. Whats striking about that particular e-mail is it suggests you were very facile with how do this, this process. You knew the instructions about how to get around the restrictions for sending classified information. So youre saying there was never an instance, any other instance in which you did that? Dickerson pressed the Democrat presidential front-runner. It wasnt sent, she said. I think, you know, this is another instance where what is common practice, namely, look I need information, I had some points I had to make and I was waiting for a secure fax that could give me the whole picture. But oftentimes theres a lot of information that isnt at all classified so whatever information can appropriately transmitted unclassified often was, thats true for every agency in the government and everybody who does business with the government. (Source: Bizpac Review) Do you think Hillary is guilty? What should her punishment be? 
3	The Collectivist War Against Cultural HeritageNaturally, every age thinks that all ages before it were prejudiced, and today we think this more than ever and are just as wrong as all previous ages that thought so. How often have we not seen the truth condemned! It is sad but unfortunately true that man learns nothing from history. Two things make man what he is: his soul, and his memory. Lose one, or both, and he ceases to exist. He might as well buzz over his own garbage like an insect. When a society is drawn into the repugnant shadow of totalitarianism and collectivism, it is usually because the masses have abandoned (or been enticed to abandon) a piece of their inner and outer heritage, something which kept the darkness at bay, a lesson from the past, or a principle long honored. In the wretched and psychotic quest for the perfect establishment system, we are even often encouraged by the elitist ilk to slough off the warm remnants of our cultural inheritance like so much skin and look forward to a bright and more promising tomorrow, where everything will be different, and certainly, better than today. The ideological brand of so-called progress that we call collectivism relies heavily on the notion that the values of the past are inadequate to the requirements of the future. We are taught by the peddlers of collectivist propaganda that our beliefs and our principles must evolve along with the perceived growth of our species as a whole. They see themselves as visionaries and prophets foretelling a grand reinvention of the world that we laymen are unequipped to imagine or understand. We cling to the old ways because we are afraid of change, or too ignorant to fathom the beauty of their Utopian beyond Pretentious bile? Absolutely. However, within the rhetoric and strategies of the collectivist agenda there are treasures to behold; recurring themes and indicators that can be found in nearly every modern tyranny and most ancient tyrannies that have ever existed. Words and actions that warn us of the true intent of the elite. The Futurists To gain an insight into the stunted philosophy that underlies collectivism, globalization, centralism, socialism, communism, fascism, etc., it is important to acknowledge the ways in which these systems seduce the public. Many people find themselves inadequate to the era in which they are born, or, believe their era inadequate to them. They wish they could live in a more enlightened age. They wish they could leap ahead in time and know what the next generations will know. They fear that they will die as obscure beings in an obscure moment of history devoid of discovery or legacy. People prone to collectivist fantasies seek to escape the struggles of their present life and transport themselves to a place where mankind has triumphed over the adversities of the mundane to frolic like gods amongst the stars. Now, imagine you are one of these desperate men or women, and someone promises you in a rather convincing manner that their system of social structure and governance will bring that sterling-silver-gravity-defying-Star-Trek-future to you. What would you be willing to trade for even a glimpse into the next epoch? Some, sadly, are willing to trade everything, including their freedoms. A movement from the early 1900s called Futurism is a perfect example of this obsession with progress that sacrifices the lessons of the past. A quasi-art movement that also included political activism, the Futurists believed that in order for a society to flourish, it had to amputate its past. For them, all that was old was now useless, and only technological and cultural supremacy over nature could redeem humanity. In the 1920s and 1930s, the Futurists reveled in the rise of Fascism in Italy and Germany and supported it fully until they found their club did not necessarily fit into the social engineering programs of Mussolini and Hitler. In Russia, the Futurists also embraced Communism, searching for that far off prosperous sci-fi land. Leon Trotsky even wrote of the Futurists, though he attempted to separate Communist Futurists from the more vulgar and nave Fascist Futurists: Futurism is against mysticism, against the passive deification of nature, against the aristocratic and every other kind of laziness, against dreaminess, and against lachrymosity and stands for technique, for scientific organization, for the machine, for planfulness, for will power, for courage, for speed, for precision, and for the new man, who is armed with all these things. The connection of the aesthetics revolt with the moral and social revolt is direct; both enter entirely and fully into the life experience of the active, new, young and untamed section of the intelligentsia of the left, the creative Bohemia. Disgust against the limitations and the vulgarity of the old life produces a new artistic style as a way of escape, and thus the disgust is liquidated. In different combinations, and on different historic bases, we have seen the disgust of the intelligentsia form more than one new style. But that was always the end of it. This time, the proletarian Revolution caught Futurism in a certain stage of its growth and pushed it forward. Futurists became Communists The value of Futurism, for Trotsky, was measured by the extent to which the movement extolled communist virtues (he felt that they were not living up to his standards). In his mind, of course, the two systems (fascism/communism) were different. For the Futurists, though, each form of despotism held the same magnetic charm. They were collectivists at heart, and to them, the two systems were essentially the same. Both demanded that society cast off large portions of the past that were seen as archaic and stifling to progress. Both systems waged war on values long held by the citizenry. The Purge A distaste or hatred of heritage is very common at the onset of any collectivist restructuring. These restructurings usually target principles of individual liberty and self governance while masquerading as a fight against oppression or corruption. The old principles are either presented as too outdated and insufficient to deal with the new problems of a culture, or, they are presented as the actual source of the problems of that culture. In either case, the elites wielding the collectivist machine inevitably call for a purge of all bygone ideals. In Communist China, Mao instituted the Cultural Revolution, which encouraged the mindlessly mesmerized collectivists in the Chinese populace to destroy everything which represented the past. Artwork, buildings, historical artifacts, books; even teachers and proponents of any brand of pre-communist heritage were targeted. In Fascist Germany, the Nazis destroyed countless books and manuscripts, rewrote German history, censored and removed thousands of artworks, instituting state designated artforms that depicted the collectivist vision of the new society. In Russia, the Communists focused intently not only on liquidating manuscripts extolling the methods of different eras, but also the people who wrote them. Under Lenin and Stalin, the goal was to annihilate the memory of the world before, even if it meant annihilating the masses along with it. A complete reformation of educational infrastructure came next. The children of the collectivist age had to be indoctrinated as if there had never been another way of doing things. These purges, as numerous examples have shown, are only temporary. The great conundrum for the elites has not only been the obstacle of memory, but the obstacle of the soul; that inherent quality in human beings that compels us to pursue freedom, balance, and truth, regardless of the constraints of our environment. The documents and remnants of heritage that oligarchs seek to destroy are ultimately only expressions of our inborn consciences. Deep down in each person, no matter what they have been conditioned to believe, there is a well-spring of vital ideas that conflict with the mechanizations of collectivism. Individualism finds a way to surface, and so, the central rulers must start over once again, looking for an insurmountable method of control. The American Heritage Under Siege One simple fact remains: As long as Americans continue to esteem the vision expressed in the U.S. Constitution, Bill Of Rights, and Declaration Of Independence, there can be no collectivism in this country. The Constitutional Republic formed through revolution against despotism by the Founding Fathers is a solid antithesis to outright tyranny. So, it only follows that the Futurists of today and the puppeteers who pull their strings would do absolutely everything in their power to distance the public as far as possible away from the heritage of those documents and that time. Much like the Cultural Revolution in China, though moving at a slower and more subversive pace, our history is being purged and rewritten to accommodate a centralized dream of the new America. This dream hinges on the suggestion that the Constitutional structure is outdated, and that it must be remodeled to accommodate the burgeoning Globalist paradigm. Our own sitting president has voiced similar arguments in the past: the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society. To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasnt that radical. It didnt break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, at least as its been interpreted, and the Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states cant do to you. Says what the federal government cant do to you, but doesnt say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf . . . . (Source) While the mainstream media reiterates the message of the antiquated Constitution with greater regularity: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/07/us/we-the-people-loses-appeal-with-people-around-the-world.html?_r=1 American Futurists complain that the Constitution is too restrictive on government, and that it prevents the establishment from making changes quickly. But where they see a lack of adaptation, I see critical checks and balances. Where they see archaic law, I see timeless principles of conscience that will remain relevant for all eternity. Where they see progress in globalism, socialism, and collectivism, I see a devolvement into the dark ages of feudalism. How new and progressive is Globalism really? Is it not more reasonable to say that the idea of a free decentralized and sovereign republic whose first mission is to protect personal rights is much more rare and advanced than yet another elitist stab at centralized domination? Is the Constitution a perfect document? No. I dont know that there is such a thing. What I do know, though, is that there is no one currently in government with the wisdom or intelligence needed to rewrite the document to be more balanced than it already is. I welcome critics to name any person they think is legitimately qualified. The Founders designed the Constitution to limit the powers of federal government for a reason! Take a look at the stunning array of liberty-rending executive orders that Barack Obama has issued in the course of the past four years. Now imagine that he and Congress had free reign to etch those orders into the Constitution at will. What possible meaning would the document have then? The Constitution was never meant to be a tool of government. It was meant to be a tool (a necessary tool) for the people to restrain government. The futurists muse like children over this concept but fail tragically to grasp it. Despite the obvious faulty logic within the outdated argument, the propaganda has hit full steam in recent years. In federally funded schools around the country, American history before the Civil War is no longer taught, and Constitutional studies are almost unheard of: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,584758,00.html?mep http://www.floridastandards.org/Courses/PublicPreviewCourse1723.aspx The space in curriculum created by the removal of the American Revolution and everything else important to the birth of the country has been filled with what teachers now refer to as Global Studies. What do global studies entail? Why not ask the organizations that write the study guidelines, like Facing The Future: I use Facing the Future [lessons] to complement many other materials. I have all of the kids read Global Issues and Sustainable Solutions, as an introductory overview. Then students break into groups to research some of the topics, like governance, climate change, or world view. They have different ways of looking at the future after reading this We use United Nations materials. I bring in a lot of guest speakers, even someone that was a defense attorney in the World Court. Ive brought in scientists who are experts on climate change, we use Al Gores film [An Inconvenient Truth], lots of websites that I just let kids dig into (Source) Or, we could ask children in Seattle private schools, who are being taught the evils of property rights, and how individual ownership hurts the collective: the students had been building an elaborate Legotown, but it was accidentally demolished. The teachers decided its destruction was an opportunity to explore the inequities of private ownership. According to the teachers, Our intention was to promote a contrasting set of values: collectivity, collaboration, resource-sharing, and full democratic participation. The children were allegedly incorporating into Legotown their assumptions about ownership and the social power it conveys. These assumptions mirrored those of a class-based, capitalist society a society that we teachers believe to be unjust and oppressive. (Source) This eradication of original American values is taking place on every level of our society, even in law enforcement, which is now infamously illustrated by the FEMA indoctrination of police officers in the video below to consider the Founding Fathers terrorists: If attacks on foundational heritage are a warning sign of centralized oligarchy and collectivism as this article outlines, then America is in imminent peril. These changes never go quietly, and are invariably surrounded by economic depression, collapse, war, and death.

Individualism finds a way to surface, and so, the central rulers must start over once again, looking for an insurmountable method of control. The unpardonable sin to collectivists. someone actually thinking and doing for ones self. Even churches can lean to the collectivist side and dont like their members thinking for themselves. Collectivists express one of the biggest flaws in humanity which is why living in a collectivist society is outright miserable. A collectivists wants to think for themselves and insists everyone should think like them. When a person can both think and do for ones self along with finding value in allowing others to think and do for themselves, it is total freedom of mind. You get a much better well rounded society that is both happy, vibrant and creative. 
3	Update: CDC whistleblower in touch with members of CongressJon Rappoport Franchis interview is headlined: CDC Responds: Admits Omitting Vaccine Data. It is available at nextnewsnetwork and at YouTube. Brian Hooker, PhD, Franchis interviewee, is one contact for CDC whistleblower William Thompson. Hooker has published a re-analysis of the CDCs fraudulent work on the MMR vaccine, showing that the CDC indeed buried the connection between the vaccine and autism. In the interview, Hooker states that whistleblower Thompson is in touch with members of Congress. Since Thompson was a co-author on a crucial 2004 study exonerating the vaccine, and since Thompson now readily admits that study was a fraud, a few members of Congress might actually listen to him and then make noises about the need to expose this scandal further. Hooker states that whistleblower Thompson is still at work at the CDC. This means the CDC doesnt quite know what to do with him. Firing a whistleblower for telling the truth raises legal issues and further publicizes the scandal. Interviewer Franchi has made a query to the CDC and obtained a response: the agency admits it did omit data from the 2004 MMR vaccine/autism study. The justification? Children without birth certificates were dropped from the study, because birth certificates contain important metadata needed to judge the true effects of the vaccinesuch as birth weight of the child. This is utter fabrication. As Hooker has revealed, the African-American boys dropped from the study showed a 300% higher risk for autism after receiving the MMR vaccine. Omitting those boys allowed the study to give a free pass to the vaccine and conceal rates of vaccine-connected autism in the black community. A few important things to understand: dont be lulled into thinking that Congress is the cavalry who will ride in to save the day. But in this age of online reporting, Congressional members can, if they speak up, kick the scandal and the story into a higher gearbecause we will report what they say. If whistleblower Thompson is back at work at the CDC, that doesnt mean hes safe. He is still in danger. He still needs to come forward and make a public and definitive statement on CDC fraud. And lastly, in his interview with Franchi, Brian Hooker states that he is sitting on more data sets and will release that information as he publishes his analysis of each setthus exposing more CDC fraud. This is a mistake. For the sake of his own safety and for the sake of the truth, he should post all that raw data online, then analyze and publish. The raw data should be available to everyone now. Let blogger hounds and PR hounds at the CDC and the sold-out press try to make nothing of this explosive raw data. Hooker and others can refute them. The hounds have already summarily rejected the one study Hooker has published. Frankly, Hooker is thinking like a close-to-the-vest scientist. He doesnt have a clue about how stories gather force and asymmetrically explode. And without knowing it, he is putting us on his time-table. Youre a hero, Brian. Act like one.

2	MLB Star Curt Shilling Terminated After Taking Hard Stance Against Transgender Bathrooms According to recent reports, ESPN has cut ties with broadcaster Curt Schilling, after the former major league pitcher posted a controversial meme to social media. The photograph showed a scantily-clad transgender man (and likely prostitute), and argued that you may be forced to let your children go into the bathroom with him. ESPN is an inclusive company, the network released in a statement. Curt Schilling has been advised that his conduct was unacceptable and his employment with ESPN has been terminated. Curt wrote about the controversy yesterday on his blog. Read his opinion below: 
3	New Report Proves US Law Enforcement Preparing for Rioting on a National ScaleBy Claire Bernish A new report from analysts with industry research group, Sandler Research, forecasts the Global Riot Control System Market for the next four years but beyond a burgeoning market to parallel the expanding global police state, it appears world governments are also keenly aware of civilian discontent. Sandler predicts the market will have an annual growth of 3.5 percent, and makes a telling juxtaposition, emphases added, involving the United States: Law enforcement agencies around the world are the biggest market for riot control systems. This market is expected to generate revenues of over USD 3.5 billion by the end of 2020. Countries such as the U.S., Iran, Egypt, Russia, China, and Thailand have started procuring riot control equipment and are investing heavily in [non-lethal weapons]. Moreover, special vehicles that are equipped with water cannon and reservoirs have been designed for security personnel, for use in areas of conflict to handle large crowds and demonstration. Demand for such equipment is expected to rise during the next few years. Note the last sentence in its truncated time frame. Specifically, the analysts continue: In North America, the prominent markets are Canada and the U.S. and law enforcement agencies in these nations are best equipped with the upgraded weapons. The militarization of the police department and other law enforcement agencies in the Americas has encouraged the use of advanced riot control equipment. While swaths of the country debate the finer points of which lesser evil should take the helm of the corporate plutocracy, various U.S. law enforcement agencies have been gearing up for the virtually inevitable unrest both during and following those elections. Militarized police forces have become de rigueur, even in the nations smallest towns but arming law enforcement with the weapons of war, rather than protecting civilians, has birthed a chasm of distrust and animosity on both sides. It isnt as if this equipment is being produced by a marketplace intent on keeping civilians safe from an ostensible outside threat. As the report, which does not offer a breakdown of specific agencies it might be referring to (though may in its body which can be purchased for $2,500 here), definitively states: Law enforcement agencies use riot control systems to maintain the public order and safety and to enforce laws. They are used to disperse, control, and arrest people involved in riots and protests. Riot control systems include lethal and non-lethal weapons (NWLs), body-worn cameras, armored vehicles, and communications systems. As if released in conjunction with one another, a report by Lloyds intones the necessity of preparedness as mass civil unrest can not only spark without prior warning, but flare outward, unpredictably what the insurer calls Political Violence Contagion. According to the report, instances of political violence contagion (pandemics) have become more frequent, and the contagion effect ever more rapid and impactful. Considering massive worldwide demonstrations in the U.S. and elsewhere as people finally grasp how corrupt governments actually are it becomes apparent in these reports the politicians and their enforcement agencies comprehend the greatest threat to their power. As caucuses and primaries fall into chaos and the City of Cleveland gears up for the Republican National Convention voters and nonvoters alike harbor greater disillusionment than ever before. Cleveland, whose police are currently under federal oversight following a Department of Justice probe that found a general pattern of brutality, plans to spend around $20 million to beef up security measures for the RNC. While part of the sum will focus on training, personnel expenditures, and the like, Vox reported 40 percent will be earmarked for equipment and supplies including, in part, 2,000 sets of full-body riot gear. Additionally, if not ominously, the city has put out bids for, among other things, 24 sets of ballistic body armor, 300 patrol bikes, and more than 3.7 miles of interlocking steel barriers, all of which can be used to curtail protestors, according to Vox. Together, the reports paint a dire prediction not as much for its illustration of a world in chaos, but for its intimation authoritarian actors may act aggressively to quash even positive and peaceful change by the rest of us.

If you spot a typo, email edits@theantimedia.org. authoritarian actors may act aggressively to quash even positive and peaceful change by the rest of us A heart breaking and true statement, reminds me of Tiananmen Square. On the other hand, if we all free our minds the hollow points and tanks wouldnt do them any goodno any enforcers to use them. People will only be pushed so far, and in most cases will even allow themselves to be pushed pretty hard in an effort to keep things peaceful, but there comes a breaking point where there will no other option but to push back, and when the time comes for it people will push back with enormous force against their oppressors. History is full of examples where this has happened what makes the US so certain it cant/wont happen there ? Largest militia the world has ever known. Those who would make it impossible for a peaceful revolution make a violent one inevitable. Would not want to be law enforcement when the people snap. They are only outnumbered by about 70 times. but they have the riot gear and no problem with violence. More proof that the controllers know what will happen come November. The Donald will not capture the 1237 delegates needed, and the convention will appoint the new Republican nominee. Then, if that isnt enough to spark the powder keg, they will then install (for no one is elected by the people anymore), Hillary once the November election circus is complete. If that doesnt spark the keg, then they will produce yet another false flag event and kill thousands of people. Then, Obama will declare martial law and suspend the Constitution and he will be deemed King/Dictator/Monarch.and if that doesnt set off the keg, then there is nothing more to say. With all the clear to see corruption and crime that has filled the halls of Congress and the White House, one can only cry when we see that there isnt as much as a whisper of condemnation from even one member of the U.S. Military, nor a peep out of the so-called self-proclaimed Militia. The corruption and criminality is so rampant and has infected every branch of the government and military, that onyl burning it down to build it again can ever fix what has been destroyed by infection. I hope you are wrong about needing to burn it down. As you can learn from history in Cuba, the forces that take over a government are usually worse than the one in power. I agree that the corruption in our government is like an endometriosis. I hope I am too. But, as we have witnessed in the past this group we call a government will stop at nothing including outright murder to keep their control. The true reason that we, as the people, will lose is because we havent the courage or fortitude to do as they to defend or protect what was once a great nation, now a toilet bowl of corruption and a cesspool of crime. Our forefathers would have drug them onto the Capitol Building steps and the White House long ago and shot them!! omg, cuba! what a place, hunger, homelessness, police shooting innocent people. There was hunger and need in Cuba in the beginning of the Castro revolution because of the dirty dealings of the US GOVERNMENT that put a commercial blockade on Cuba. Kennedy seemed to have wanted peace with Cuba and the Soviet Union. That seems to have been one of the reasons that he got killed. By the way , castro means castle in Greek. And it is also an ancient Greek word. I think that you coud easily tell by the pictures of his youth. My last name is composed of two ancient Greek words, also. You mean egg and man lol The most evident show of oppression and corruption is in our forced system of junk medicine. All the medicine that is deemed necessary and forced by legislation in this country is junk medicine. And dont rely on our ebuctional prostitutions ( instead of institutions ) for advice; they are all bought of. So they are all in accordance to make us all sick. We have a mighty civilisation around us now, but we have also a vast amount of misery and suffering. There is unrest everywhere; it is not only this terrible war(an awful thing which one would not for one moment want to minimise); but remember that, before that came, we had industrial wars taking place everywhere, which caused in the aggregate an incalculable amount of suffering and loss. Everywhere difficulties arising, we see the system of our civilisation breaking down before our eyes. If civilisation means anything, it means the well being of all its people; it means that we should be in a better condition and not a worse one than the members of savage tribes. The amount of preventable misery which exists in all the great races of the world is something appalling. Our civilisation is not doing for us that which we have a right to expect, and it is not because we do not know; it is because we do not apply what we do know. Why do they call it fascism? The problem is Soviet style Boshevikism. The Left constantly refers to anyone revolting from their ongoing destruction of American values as fascists. When articles appear like this it sounds as if they are on the side of the Leftist program. Call it what it really is Communism. Call it what it really is judaism DOT is/perpetrators.html no it isnt, its corporate fascism. And that is a derivative of Satanism controlled by Zionists in the name of Luciferianism ! Hows that for some Bolshevic ! Finally, someone gets it. Im sick of hearing about Hitler and fascism when mass-murderers like Genrikh Yagoda and Trotsky were killing tens of millions of Russian and Ukrainian Christians like it was no big deal. The worlds greatest mass-murderers were communists. Those communists were funded by so-called capitalists. Its all a scam. If the people decide to attack instead of riot, all that gear isnt going to mean anything against millions of people armed. THE EL-ite(elohim) are planning to unplug the system and watch everyone devour each other because thats how stupid the sheep populace has become- Darth Vader and the storm troopers will simply come in as clean-up crew. No mystery. Ever see a technologically-currency dependent person lose their mindswhere do you think The Zombie Apocalypse term came from? None are more helplessly and hopelessly enslaved than those that truly believe they are free. THAT IS BECAUSE AMERICANS ARE JUST FINDING OUT about Surveillance Technologies being used against Politically Targeted Citizens Does any one suspect that The Samson Option may be initiated any time in the immediate future? The American people have been robbed/ ripped off by the fraud of the government agencies that proclaim to be helping protect the homeland security. WWIII has been going on for many years behind the cloud of smoke called the NWO or U N . the militarization of the police has been a very covert talke over and defeat of the god given rights of the people under common and natural law. the constitution is based on these common and natural laws. In the quiet of the forest one finds peace. They dont protect us from anything. If anything , they make easier for us to go around unprotected. One name .. Custer. Ther Cops took an oath to defend the constitution. They had better live up to that oath. Or they are part of the problem its der choos, dumkopf-always has been. The local police will be, so grateful for the gear they will join the feds to control the public right or wrong. The feds will use local police, but would rather have NATO forces that will kill Americans without a second thought. Better to have well equipped local police for when the fed does use NATO or NAU forces against us because the police will join us patriots. bettreboy ; You must be a WASP. The police are not hired, trained or paid to protect the public. They are chosen, trained and paid to control the public in order to protect the ruling class. Its happening every-day in this countryits called urban renewal. If I am a WASP what are you? Why would you make a racial statement when it was not needed. The police protect the public from people like you. Granted, there is some prejudice from some officers, but most are doing what they are told. I remember watching a famous black man on TV talking about why there are so many blacks being treated badly by the police. He said blacks typically have a fk you pig attitude towards a cop that wants cooperation and they push the cops into either backing down or a confrontation. The rest is history. When only pansies are hired as officers then maybe the blacks will be able to push them around, but until then, they get what their bad attitudes deserve. Oh yes, forgot to mention, the free gear is only free to the recipient all the tax payers are paying for that and everything else pissed away by the government in one form or another. Corporations server only the silver spoon crowd. They have taken over and are on the verge of establishing their one world dictatorship (oligarchy?). Walmart ran all of the mom and pop shops out of business at some point in the 80s this was the beginning of these creepy elitist that we (the common folk) send our wages to for protection(?). its only about a year after the fact, truth is they all got caught with their pants down when the baltimore riots went down last april, by being both unprepared and showing hesitation, they allow all the negro radical teeny boppers to burn the whole city baltimore unchecked, they should have cleaned house from the get go, round em up , lock em up, bounce em into and out of kangaroo court and then the final stop onto prison, end of story, you have to be hardcore with the radical youth today, all they understand is violence, second verse, same as the first, the federal national guard should have cleaned house in chicago when all the black radicals kept President Trump from giving his rally speech, in fact lets be honest here when we say the whole city of chicago needs to have a 24 hr a day curfew, with tanks on every street corner, same will be the case for cleveland in about eight weeks from now. All power and authority will be given unto them to defeat the beast of the bible (all these minority troublemakers) and they also need to seize all guns from the public to silence these annoying voices of protest, only then can there be peace and lawful order again. Like widespread rioting would ever happen in the US more like widespread looting and hooliganism. 
2	BREAKING: Trump Gives 500+ Obama Staffers The Worst News Ever Last week, The Federalist Papers reported that Donald Trumps victory closed the door on the possibility of any of Barack Obamas White House staffers sticking around. The fired staffers have reportedly gotten so desperate about finding new positions, President Obama has brought in representatives from Facebook, Instagram, and other companies to offer insights into the job market. CBS News reported that LinkedIn officials are also helping Obamas staff learn the best ways to market their skills to future employers. Georgetown University, located close to the White House, has designed a custom professional development program called Future 44. The program is free of charge thanks to an anonymous donor, and participants register for either four or two hour evening sessions or a single 8-hour boot camp. Its worth noting Obama is the 44th president. We designed this unique curriculum to help these staffers think through how to market themselves or market their competencies, Kelly Otter, Dean of Georgetowns School of Continuing Studies, told reporters at the New York Times. Its likely that many of Obamas former staffers will end up in liberal cities like New York or San Francisco, working for jobs that cater to millennials. The transition out of government is a reality for most appointees, which brings both excitement about prospects for the next chapter and a long-awaited chance to recharge batteries, and a keen awareness about a big, impending change, said White House spokeswoman Jennifer Friedman. Ivan Adler, a headhunter at McCormick Group, also weighed in on the issue. I tell everybody: You have to understand theres likely nothing you will do professionally that will have the same amount of excitement youve just gone through in the White House, he said, Unless you become a racecar driver or an astronaut. What do you think? Is a change in the White House exactly what this country needs? Are these staffers better suited for Vice or Snapchat? 
1	Although both believe that a romantic affair would only complicate their daily interaction with each other, Troy and Tania Knudsen find it more and more challenging not to act on a powerful mutual sexual attraction, sources close to the married couple said Monday. Troy and Tania Knudsen can barely keep their hands off each other. 'You can really sense that something is going on between them,' said neighbor Lisa Eisennagel, who has known the Knudsens for nine of the 12 years they've been married. 'It's so palpable, it's sometimes uncomfortable to be around them.' Friends who spend regular time with the pair have all noted the tentative glances, a tendency to linger around each other, and inappropriate touching. 'Tania hints at how she's attracted to Troy,' said Eisennagel, who claimed to have shared many talks with Tania about her hidden feelings for her husband. 'I'm sure he feels the same way. It's so obvious at this point.' But Tania is reluctant to act on feelings they both 'might regret,' according to Eisennagel. 'Tania's always going, 'Is he thinking about me? Does he feel the same way?' I say, 'Why not ask him?' But she just turns red and changes the subject.' According to the Knudsens, their close shared quarters make even the smallest interactions both exhilarating and stressful. Earlier this month, Troy, flustered after catching a glimpse of Tania's cleavage as she placed a plate of waffles on the kitchen table, had to excuse himself to smoke a cigarette on the back porch. The couple's thighs touched briefly while watching TV on the living-room sofa last Wednesday, though both fought the urge to make eye contact. Likewise, the narrow hallway between the living room and kitchen has played host to some awkward, charged moments. 'I only have one more semester before I earn my physical-therapy degree, and this career change is important to me,' Tania Knudsen said. 'I also have two young kids to consider. I can't imagine risking all that, just because I can't resist these urges.' She added: 'Though sometimes it feels like I'm torturing myself.' For Troy Knudsen's part, the plumbing contractor said he often anguishes over whether his wife shares the same impulses. 'I have to share a bedroom with this woman for the rest of my life, so I don't want to do anything to make things awkward,' Knudsen said. 'I have a routine I'm used to, and taking it to the next level is not part of that routine.' 'He said he often lies next to her, struggling not to kiss her,' said longtime friend Ken Boehmer, who introduced the two in 1992. 'And one time, she bumped up against him in bed. I was like, 'That was the perfect opportunity, dude!' It just sounds like they're making excuses. We all wish they'd just fuck already and get it over with. If it doesn't work out, I think they could handle it in a mature fashion. After all, they're both 36 years old.' While some of the couple's friends believed the intense sexual tension and the nature of their relationship made succumbing to their attraction for each other inevitable, others said that it has gone on too long for them to relent. All, however, agreed that if they came clean with their feelings, they would at least both be able to get on with their married lives. 'If they're 'best friends,' as they put it, why did Tania wipe that barbecue sauce off Troy's cheek the way she did?' said neighbor Pete Lorenzo, who invited the pair to his annual Fourth Of July cookout. 'And the way Troy wrestled with Tania for the last piece of bratwurst? Christ, get a room. Or just go home.' 
3	Muslim Brotherhood Targets Egyptian Police in Latest MassacreBrandon Turbeville On Monday, Islamist militants forced two vehicles carrying the policemen to stop, where they then ordered the policemen out of the vans, and forced them to lie on the ground where they were then executed. The 25 police officers were in civilian clothes and were returning to their bases from having just enjoyed leave time. Their corpses were subsequently lined up by the roadside and photographed. Initial reports coming out of Egypt suggested that the police had been killed when the militants fired a rocket-propelled grenade at their vehicles and the two minibuses carrying them back to the base. However, it is unclear if the initial reports were simply the result of confusion or if the rocket-propelled grenade was used as the mechanism to stop the vehicles. Ian Black of The Guardian also reports[2] that the news agencys Cairo sources have described the killers as Takfiris, a term used to delineate Al-Qaeda and Al-Qaeda affiliated groups in the region. With this latest incident of violence on behalf of what we are being told by the Western media are oppressed democracy protesters, it would be wise to remember the fact that these individuals have been responsible for firing on Egyptian security forces,[3] throwing political opponents off of rooftops,[4] and burning down Christian churches.[5] In addition, Muslim Brotherhood protesters, or at least Western media outlets, have been caught attempting to fake demonstrations,[6] violent putdowns, and other elements of victimization[7] for propaganda purposes. Unfortunately, the narrative taking shape inside Egypt is now beginning to closely resemble the early stages of the Syrian crisis almost three years ago.

2	Muslims Are Furious After This French Minister Moves To Shut Down All The Mosques According to recent reports from the Huffington Post, the interior minister of France has called for the dissolution of mosques where hate is preach. The move follows a string of attacks that has robbed the lives of more than 130 people across Paris. Bernard Cazeneuve made the controversial comments during an interview by French reporters. Cazeneuve is known as an advocate for addressing the concerns of the five million Muslim residents in France. That has not stopped France from increasing surveillance and religious and cultural centers. They have also done what they can to crack down on radicalization in prisons. Thats an important note, given that 60% of Frances prisoners are Muslim. The country has also deported 40 Islamic spiritual leaders in the last three years for preaching hatred. Foreign preachers of hate will be deported [and their mosques] will be shut down, Cazeneuve concluded. What do you think? Does Obama need to step up to the plate like other world leaders and stop defending Islam as a religion of peace?

1	According to a Pew Research Center study of American families published this week, more children in the United States are being raised with the religion of their pushier parent. Interfaith couples have become increasingly common nationwide in recent decades, and as a result, were seeing more and more kids growing up practicing the faith of the parent whos more aggressive and overbearing, said researcher James Gammon, citing the rising number of dual-faith households in which children celebrate the holidays, traditions, and rites of passage of the parent who consistently drowns the other one out. The traditional narrative is that couples with common beliefs would get married and raise kids in their shared religion. But nowadays, many Americans are pairing with someone of a different spiritual background, undermining their partners religious beliefs by saying, You stopped going to church or, The kids will feel alienated in your faith, and making the whole family attend their preferred place of worship. In addition, Gammon noted that a growing number of families arent raising children in any faith at all due to the uncompromising refusal of one parent who thinks all religion is pointless. 
1	In a bold move that has become the talk of the fashion world, morbidly depressed designer Ralph Lauren has unveiled a wrinkled dress shirt stained with marinara sauce, part of a new ready-to-wear fall line reflecting the clothing legend's deep and seemingly inescapable despondency. 'I designed this shirt because no matter how hard I try, I can never be happy,' said Lauren, who spoke to reporters Saturday in a detached monotone, though he was heard quietly sobbing as the crumpled blue oxford with a large orange blotch down the front made its runway debut. 'I try and try and try, but these days I can never seem to It doesn't matter anymore. It just doesn't matter. That's what this shirt is about, I guess.' 'It's particularly good for walking on the beach alone at 2 a.m. and wondering if you should just let the tide take you away forever,' Lauren added. 'Believe me, it's perfect for that.' A depressed Lauren said he didnt even deserve to be photographed. Featuring a missing button, garlic and body odor infused right into the cotton weave, and a cigarette burn across the unraveling embroidery of a Polo logo, the new shirt is the signature item in Lauren's recently launched 'Fuck It, Just Fuck Everything' line. Other items, such as stretch-fit khakis, mismatched socks, and well-worn penny loafers soaked in rainwater, are specifically tailored to complement the shirt. Belts are reportedly not among the accessories included in the collection because, according to company press materials, 'Does it even matter if your pants fall down at this point? Honestly, you pathetic man, how would that make things more unbearable than they already are?' 'I created these fashions to let people know I'm a terrible person who is completely worthless and doesn't deserve to be loved by anyone,' said Lauren, conceding it would be impossible for any garment to fully convey how little value he has as a human being. 'This is the only couture I deserve.' Lauren told reporters the marinara-stained shirtthe idea for which reportedly came to him as he sat on his couch and consumed an entire large pizza by himselfcan easily be worn untucked over a pair of unwashed sweatpants from college or even just a pair of boxer shorts, as there is no reason to leave one's house other than to 'experience more and worse pain.' 'Ralph is going through a bit of rough patch right now,' said a longtime family friend who asked not to be named. 'Last season he showed us a lighthearted spring-summer line full of timeless American classicssuede boat shoes, double-breasted navy blazers. Once he has a chance to work through some things, I'm sure he'll be his old self again.' Many critics have raved over the new collection, praising the signature shirt for its pre-stained pits and flecks of paper towel suggesting a halfhearted and quickly abandoned attempt to clean up. Others, however, have echoed New York Times fashion writer Cathy Horyn, who simply said, 'You're gonna get through this.' Later, as he discussed a possible women's line featuring a wrinkled silk blouse covered with the clinging brown and white hairs of a beagle that has been snuggled with all night long, Lauren trailed off midsentence, gazed into the distance, and eventually wandered away. 
1	Searching for something to take his attention off the uncomfortable domestic dispute occurring just a few feet away, a local 6-month-old fetus reportedly decided Monday to pretend he couldnt hear the loud argument coming from the other side of the uterine wall. God, theyre starting in even earlier than normal tonight; I guess Ill just try to tune it out like usual, said the 27-week-old, adding that the nearby couple, who he noted are clearly working through some serious issues, tend to noisily bicker until well past midnight. Im just going to focus on listening to my moms heartbeat for a while and try to keep my mind off all the shouting by clenching and unclenching my hands a bit. But if they havent settled down in a half hour or so, I might have to start pounding on the wall. The second-trimester fetus added that, given how often hes heard the couples heated arguments, it would definitely be awkward if he ever meets them. 
3	Were Drowning in Unacceptable Levels of ChemicalsYekra 
1	The National Weather Service has issued a severe musty-odor advisory for a majority of the U.S., as a massive front of stale, unfreshened air sweeps down from the Arctic region. Fresh Air Weather Map 'While no state of emergency has yet been declared, we are cautioning all citizens to be on alert for problem odors which, even as we speak, are moving through the Dakotas and gaining strength as they head east,' National Weather Service director James Auslander said. 'These embarrassing, lingering smells show no sign of dissipating any time soon, and it is vital that Americans prepare themselves.' The wave of unfreshened air is believed to be connected to a recent 'poker night' get-together in the Arctic region, complete with big, smelly cigars and a fried-fish dinner. According to Auslander, shoes were removed during the gathering, contributing foot odor to an already unpleasant front. Working closely with Renuzit officials, the National Weather Service is taking steps to freshen the approaching air mass. 'While we can not turn back the clock and prevent this malodorous incident from taking place,' Auslander said, 'we can take action as soon as possible to save Americans from exposure to the resultant common household odors.' Among the emergency air-freshening measures being implemented: the planting of more than 50,000 pine-scented trees along the U.S.-Canada border; the distribution of 35 million cans of Glade Mountain Spring spray to those citizens most at risk; and Operation Airwick, a full-frontal airborne assault on the wave of stale air. But even with all these efforts, some experts say it will likely be too little, too late. 'Even if 50 million pounds of potpourri were spread across American soil, it would merely be a flowery cover-up,' said James Valentine of the D.C.-based Americans For Freshness. 'Ventilating and re-scenting the ecosystem will take months and bring federal votive-candle and incense resources down to near-critical levels. This nation needs fresh, pleasant air now.' 'In reality,' Dr. Martin Hargreaves of Cornell University said, 'we would need a Stick-Up the size of Vermont to adequately address this crisis.' Just some of the countless pine-scented trees planted in an attempt to freshen the air. Across the U.S., the damaging effects of the unfreshened air are already being felt. 'Yesterday, when I woke up, I wasn't greeted with the usual light, flowery breeze blowing in through my window,' said Georgia Wells of St. Petersburg, FL. 'Instead of a fresh rose-petal scent, I could distinctly detect a staleness in the air. It was horrible.' 'As an American, if there's one thing I can't stand, it's a lack of freshness,' Marcia Palmer of Sunnyvale, CA, said. 'That's why this current crisis is so terrible. Cigar smoke, fish odor, smelly old sweatsocksit's all too much to bear.' Palmer then wrinkled her nose and added, 'Oh, I see the Arctic Circle still has that cat.' Responding to the public outcry, President Clinton has pledged to work with the National Weather Service toward the goal of having the nation completely aired out by the end of next week. The president also acknowledged that his interest in solving the problem is to some degree personal. 'Next Friday, I will be hosting an important state dinner, at which there will be numerous foreign dignitaries,' Clinton said. 'If these high-level diplomats arrived with the United States smelling like old sneakers and tell-tale pet odors, I am certain I would just die. I could never show my face at a world summit again.' 
3	5 GMO Myths BustedJames Corbett 
1	Local Peeping Tom David Sutcliffe expressed concern Monday that next-door neighbors John and Kimberly Hobsbaum's love life may be in jeopardy. Peeping Tom David Sutcliffe 'On the surface, John and Kim appear to be the perfect couple,' said Sutcliffe, 39, who claimed to know the couple better than most. 'They live in a tastefully decorated three-bedroom home, are the proud parents of a beautiful son, and possess all the trappings of modern convenience. But when you take a closer look at their life through the lenses of a powerful set of binoculars, their marriage isn't all it seems.' Sutcliffe said he first suspected that something might be wrong with the Hobsbaums' relationship after seeing Kimberly quietly crying in the shower six months ago. 'I almost didn't notice it at first,' Sutcliffe said. 'But when I zoomed out on my camcorder, there she was, weeping.' According to Sutcliffe, the rare occasions when Kimberly and John engage in sexual intercourse lack the spontaneity of the early years of their relationship. 'There was a time when they, and I, simply couldn't predict when an impulsive lovemaking session would break out,' said Sutcliffe, who admitted that he hasn't needed to move his camouflaged camcorder from its tripod in months. 'You don't have to examine hundreds of hours of recorded footage to figure out that sex has become a chore for the Hobsbaums,' Sutcliffe said. 'Although it does help.' While Sutcliffe said it would be 'unrealistic' to think the couple could rekindle the same passion found in their early daysparticularly the 'unforgettable' evening of Oct. 12, 1998he said they can still take steps to recharge their sex life. 'Men are visually stimulated,' Sutcliffe said as he dimmed the lights, unbuttoned his pants, and leaned forward to peer through a narrow opening in his window blinds. 'Maybe Kimberly could greet John one evening in nothing but her red lace teddy. Or at the very least, she could insist that they have sex with the lights on, adding spontaneity and making my night-vision goggles unnecessary.' Continued Sutcliffe: 'If that doesn't work, perhaps the Hobsbaums could try introducing another person into their bedroomperhaps that fit, redheaded friend of theirs who sometimes comes over for dinner.' The Hobsbaums Sutcliffe had dozens of other suggestions, including slower, more sensual foreplay, inventive role-playing based on Victorian themes, experimenting with new sexual positions on their back patio, and, should all else fail, 'videotaping their lovemaking sessions.' Sutcliffe warned that couples often don't realize that small gestures like a kiss good-bye in the morning, clear of any sight-line obstructions such as tall floor lamps, can make all the difference in the world. 'Honestly, I can't remember the last time I lip-read John telling Kimberly that he loved her,' Sutcliffe said. 'This couple needs to talk about their problems, not ignore them,' he went on. 'More than anything, they need honest, clear communication, preferably with a lot of sexually explicit verbalizations near an open window within range of my shotgun microphone.' Although the Hobsbaums may have reached a low point in their sex life, Sutcliffe pointed out that this is not an uncommon occurrence among married couples he's observed. 'I've sat in this chair or crouched in my garage and watched this happen many times before,' said Sutcliffe, who asserted that an outsider's perspective is invaluable for recognizing problems in a marriage. 'Many couples, like the Menekens directly across the street, or the Stephensons, whose bedroom faces my kitchen, forget that sustaining a loving relationship requires a lot of hard work.' The good news, according to Sutcliffe, is that the Hobsbaums' decreased sex life doesn't seem to be the result of physical illness or inadequacy. 'They're clearly still interested in sex,' he said. 'At least these photos, taken during the day when John was alone in the computer room, seem to indicate this.' Yet Sutcliffe added that, unless the Hobsbaums start mending their relationship soon, he fears one of them might look for affection where Sutcliffe won't be able to closely monitor them. 'I would hate to see something like that happen to such a photogenic couple,' he said. 
1	Saying the American League wild-card bid is 'beneath the dignity of the Yankees organization' and 'an affront to everything [we] stand for,' New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner and manager Joe Torre told reporters during a press conference Wednesday that the Yankees have respectfully declined the opportunity to participate in Major League Baseball's postseason if they have to do so as the American League's wild-card team. 'On behalf of the entire Yankee team: Thanks, but no thanks,' said Steinbrenner, adding that the Yankees would only play in the 2007 playoffs if they were able to take their 'rightful place' as the American League East representatives. 'Please don't patronize us with by making us the wild card. The New York Yankees aren't wild cards. We're the New York Yankees, for God's sake. The New York Yankees. And we have our dignity.' 'Wild card?' Steinbrenner added. 'Please.' The announcement came following a three-hour meeting between Steinbrenner, Torre, and baseball Commissioner Bud Selig, in which both Torre and Steinbrenner attempted to convince the commissioner that the Yankees were anything but wild cardsa position Steinbrenner later called 'demeaning and pathetic.' 'We're not an unproven, intermediate expansion team whose qualities are unknown and whose team character has not been established,' said Steinbrenner, referring to the strict definition of a wild card. 'The wild card is for those lesser organizations, teams like the Colorado Rockies, orugh, I can't believe I am actually going to utter their namethe 'Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.'' 'You have to consider the elite pedigree of this historic franchise,' Torre added. 'The Yankees have won 26 World Series titles and 39 American League pennants. To even think we would reduce ourselves to such an embarrassing position is an absurdity bordering on insanity. We might as well drop down to Single A.' The Yankees, who finished the season with a 94-68 record, leaving them two games behind the Boston Red Sox in the AL East standings, are in fact statistically the American League wild-card team. Torre maintained, however, that the Yankees are above statistics, and answer to a 'much higher calling.' 'We have family, friends, and billions upon billions of fans who deserve much more than for us to just submit to being spat upon,' Torre said. 'The fact that we have, in the past, even participated in divisional series and league championship series is beneath us. I've been saying for some time that the Yankees should only have to play in one game the entire year: an intrasquad match to decide the world champion.' Though the Yankees did accept wild-card births in both the 1995 and 1997 seasons, Steinbrenner said he was not made aware of it at the time. Had he been, the Yankees' controversial, often polarizing owner stated, he would have most assuredly pulled his team out of the playoffs to show respect for Yankee greats such as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, and Mickey Mantlenone of whom, Steinbrenner said, ever donned the pinstripes as a wild-card team. The wild-card system was introduced by Commissioner Selig in 1995. 'I'm not even sure how this, what do you call it, 'wild card?' Right how this wild card even works,' said Yankees shortstop and team captain Derek Jeter, who made 'air quotes' gestures every time he uttered the phrase. 'Can a team even make it to the World Series from such a position? Seems like charity to me. And the Yankees are nobody's charity case.' 'Try to remember that the Yankees are blessed by God himself,' Jeter added. 'If God wanted us to be a wild-card team, He would have done so when He created the Yankees over 100 years ago.' When informed three of the last five World Series titles were, in fact, won by wild-card teams, catcher Jorge Posada stated that it was because other Major-League clubs acted out of the weakness of false sentiment, having felt sorry for 'those lesser teams' lowly, disgusting, and frankly wretched position.' 'How do you think Florida beat us in 2003?' Posada said. 'Because the Yankees are too classy a ball club to beat up on a clearly inferior team.' Though the majority of the Yankee team affirmed their commitment to boycotting the playoffs if their wild-card status is not 'corrected,' third baseman Alex Rodriguez stated he would still play, adding that with so many Yankees out of the lineup he would get more at-bats, more balls hit to him in the field, and would finally get a chance to pitch, a position Rodriguez said he is 'probably pretty good at.' 
1	Pope John Paul II: 25 Years Of Laughs VATICAN CITYAs Pope John Paul II enters his 26th year as pontiff, the world is stopping to reflect on the legendary funnyman's career as one of the most influential performers in modern history. Standing staunchly against contraception and women's equality right through the turn of the 21st century, the pope and his quirky, deadpan comic persona still entertain audiences around the world. Revered by multiple generations for his weird and wonderful wit, the 83-year-old pontiff is perhaps the best-known stand-up alive today. Throughout an amazing two and a half decades as head of the Catholic Church, the pope has produced, in both his live appearances and his published works, a treasure trove of humor second to none. 'I can still remember seeing him do his classic 'Galileo' bit in the early '90s,' said fellow comedian George Carlin, referring to the pope's 1992 declaration that the church erred in condemning Galileo. 'Here was this man, appearing on televisions around the world, making a proclamation that the sun does not move around the earth. I laughed until tears rolled down my cheeks.' 'No one could touch the pope,' Carlin added. 'Hell, no one even tried. He was in a class of his own. One of a kind.' Born Karol Joseph Wojtyla in Wadowice, a town 35 miles southwest of Krakow, the pope did not have an easy childhood. In what may have contributed to his desire to inspire laughter, he faced many early hardships. His mother died just a month before his 9th birthday, and only three years later, his brother died of scarlet fever. The pope began his religious career shortly thereafter, studying in an underground seminary in Krakow. He established himself in the Krakow scene and was awarded an archbishopric in 1963. He made cardinal in 1967. Among the works to give the pope his first taste of fame was his 1960 treatise Love And Responsibility, in which he defined a 'modern Catholic sexual ethic.' It was here that the pope developed his oft-repeated chestnut that the only acceptable act of sex is one intended for the creation of a child. 'The pope would always lean on his material about sex,' director Woody Allen said. 'He had this crazy, special way of looking at the world. I definitely count him among my influences.' After years of working the smaller cathedrals, the pope's hard work paid off. On Oct. 16, 1978, he was chosen to head Rome's most venerated comedic institution, the Vatican. 'No one else is still doing what the Vatican does,' comedian Don Rickles said. 'They may not be as big as they once were, but they still surpriselike that bit a few weeks ago, where they said condoms don't prevent AIDS. Was that improvised?' After 25 years at the top of his field, the pope still draws a crowd. On Oct. 19, he presided over the beatification of Mother Teresa. More than a quarter of a million people flooded St. Peter's Square to witness the stunt, in which the pope declared that the hard-working, benevolent nun had performed miracles and possessed supernatural powers. The pope has created more saints and beatified more people than all the previous popes combined, and no other pope has toured as extensively as he has. The quintessential showman loves to take his act on the road. He's entertained audiences in 117 countries and met with hundreds of world leaders, including dictators Augusto Pinochet and Fidel Castro. 'John Paul is the hardest-working pope in history,' actor Jonathan Winters said. 'He's an inspiration. And not just for other comedians like myself, but for everyone, from theologians who will never be ordained because they're women, on down to the little children in the crowded ghettos of Third World cities who heed his message about the evils of contraception. Let's not even go into the gays in Boise.' Since his first trip back to Poland in 1978, the pope has performed in front of millions of loyal fans all over the world. 'People would wait in line for hours to see him,' comedian Joey Bishop said. 'And he never failed to deliver. He'd be out there working the crowdshaking hands, kissing babies. Wherever he went, they loved him.' The pope has also been lauded for his ability to think on his feet. Throughout his many years in the business, the pope has often been called upon to deliver a comeback when questioned about acts committed by the Catholic Church. 'John Paul II has riffed on everything from the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition to the treatment of Jews and blacks,' actor Bob Newhart said.'He's always had a unique ability to come at things in an unexpected way. I saw him last year on TV, talking about those molestation scandals. His main message was that Catholics shouldn't lose faith in the clergy. Hilarious! Now, I would've gone straight to some kind of apology to the victims, but I guess that's why he's the pope.' The master of the lightning-speed one-liner produced a string of memorable side-splitters earlier this year. When meeting with the Dutch ambassador to the Vatican, he referenced the country's laws governing same-sex unions. Condemning the laws, the pope said that sexual relationships are for 'men and women whose love will yield children,' and characterized gays as deviants who act contrary to 'natural law.' Despite suffering from debilitating Parkinson's disease, the pope shows no signs of toning down his act. With his trademark wit, the pontiff recently announced that, in spite of his failing health, he will remain pope 'as long as God wants.' 'There will never be another Pope John Paul II,' said comedian Jerry Stiller. 'He's truly one of a kind, straight out of a time and place that no longer exist.' 
1	Making negligible movements with her arms and legs as she sluggishly made her way along the sidewalk, a woman gradually progressing down Madison Street Friday was barely even jogging, sources confirmed. Shes definitely moving forward and kind of pumping her arms some, so it sort of looks like jogging, but, boy, its a real stretch to call whatever that is jogging, said eyewitness Curtis Stoeller, 29, adding that the woman, outfitted in a colorful lycra top and athletic pants, expensive running shoes, and an armband holding an iPod, appeared to be making some kind of shuffling motion with her feet, but wasnt exerting nearly enough effort to approximate anything close to a jog, let alone a run. It took her a long time to kind of lope past me on the sidewalk. If I just picked up my pace a little and walked briskly, I could catch up to her really fast. Jeez, is there even a word for what shes doing? At press time, the shambling woman was squirting what appeared to be a vitamin-fortified water into her mouth as she brought two fingers to her neck to check her pulse. 
3	Lose Your Plan, Lose Your Doctor, Lose Your Personal DataObamacare Site Alarmingly Insecure, Expert Says Top cyber security consultant David Kennedy has provided testimony to Congress that outlines critical flaws and alarming security threats on the Healthcare.gov website. Last Sunday, Kennedy told Foxs Chris Wallace that he was easily able to penetrate the healthcare exchange. He said he determined that he could gain access to 70,000 personal records of Obamacare enrollees. Hes a security expert, so surely he used some tricks of the trade to crack the website, right? Nope. Kennedy said it only took him about 4 minutes and a standard browser to access the information, and that he didnt even have to hack the website: And 70,000 was just one of the numbers that I was able to go up to and I stopped after that, he said. You know, Im sure its hundreds of thousands, if not more, and it was done within about a 4 minute time frame. So, its just wide open. You can literally just open up your browser, go to this, and extract all this information without actually having to hack the website itself, he said. What we learned was that they had rushed through what we call the software development life cycle where they actually build the application. So when you do that, security doesnt really get integrated into it. And what happened with the rocky launch in October is they slapped a bunch of servers in trying to fix the website just to keep it up and running so that people could actually go and use it. The problem is they still didnt imbed any security into it. Its not just myself thats saying this website is insecure, its also seven other independent security researchers that also looked at the research Ive done and came to the exact same conclusion. Last Thursday, Kennedytoldthe House Science, Space and Technology Committee that nothing has changed since the November hearing on the sites security issues: HealthCare.gov is not secure today. I dont understand how were still discussing whether the website is insecure or not. It is insecure 100 percent. Before the hearing, Kennedy told Reuters what is wrong with the site: The government has yet to plug more than 20 vulnerabilities that he and other security experts reported to the government shortly after HealthCare.gov went live on October 1. Hackers could steal personal information, modify data, attack the personal computers of website users and damage the infrastructure of the site. Teresa Fryer, the CMS chief information security officer, claimed that the Obamacare website underwent end-to-end security testing on December 18 and that all industry standards were met: The (federal marketplace) is secure. In many instances, we have gone above and beyond what is required, with layered protection, continuous monitoring and additional penetration testing, Fryer said. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, made an excellent point: It seems to defy common sense that a website plagued with functional problems was, in fact, perfectly secure by design.

1	A profanity-laced quote from comedian Chris Rock in the latest issue of Newsweek was successfully bowdlerized, leaving subscriber Liz Haines with no idea what was meant by the sanitized non-word 'f*ck.' 'I'm baffled,' Haines said of the creative censoring. 'In the article, Mr. Rock is quoted as saying, 'To be honest, I don't give a f*ck what my critics say.' Fick? Fack? Fpck? What did he say? He could have said just about anything.' This week, Newsweek will be awarded a special citation by the Center For Family-Friendly Media for ingenuity in hiding offensive words from readers. 
2	Crazy Racist Black Woman Attacks White Man [VIDEO] The liberal media likes to tell a one-sided story about racism in America, where white people are constantly attacking minorities. The stories that are lesser told, however, are the stories about the verbal and physical abuse that is endured at the hands of minorities almost every day. Videos like this help to illustrate that story, but the media seems intent on ignoring the facts. Incidents like this cannot be ignored. This is a major piece of how racism really looks in America. 
3	How to Build a Solar Food Dehydrator for $300, Preserve 10 Pounds of Food at a TimeBy Justin Gardner While canning, pickling and freezing work well, adding dehydration to the mix gives you even more diversity. Instead of spending lots of money on a fancy machine, you can make a solar food dehydrator for much less, and take pride in your DIY project. Dennis Scanlin of the Appropriate Technology Program at Appalachian State University spent nearly 20 years testing and experimenting solar dehydrator designs. His solar dehydration unit can dry large amounts of food quickly, and is wheeled for easy movement. Plus, you can add light bulbs to improve operation when the weather is cloudy or humid. With a few tools and basic woodworking skills, this solar food dehydrator can become a vital part of your homestead. This design relies on indirect solar power, meaning the drying food is not exposed to the sun but instead to solar-heated air. Our dryer takes advantage of the natural process of rising hot air to operate efficiently without any electric fans. The drying chamber of this dehydrator supports 11 trays to hold up to 10 pounds of thinly sliced food about 35 to 40 medium-sized apples, for reference. It can dry this amount of food in two sunny days, or about half this amount of food in one sunny day because of better ventilation and reduced food mass. The temperature inside the chamber can easily soar to more than 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Visit here for detailed instructions on building and using Scanlins solar food dehydrator. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com Why would you use poisonous pressure treated wood?????????? I agree!! Right, rip 26 or 28 red cedar, its lighter as well as safer How to avoid / eliminate that peculiar sun-dried smell of sun-dried food items? Well, we tried to sun-dry many leafy vegetables, thin onion / potato slices etc. with the help of one social organization: Volunteers Overseas, for the benefit of agriculturists. (It was around 40 years ago.) I have used a solar dehydrator for years and have not come across the oder problem you speak of. Do you clean your produce before dehydration? Is the water clean that you use to wash your produce?

Maybelline executives noted that the Ideal-Woman Rubber Mask is only available in Caucasian. 
3	How The Globalists Will Attempt To Control Populations Post-CollapseBy Brandon Smith This leads to resistance, resistance leads to sociopolitical crackdown and then great numbers of people are imprisoned, enslaved or even murdered. This leads to even more resistance until one of two possible outcomes emerges chaos and revolution or complete totalitarianism and micro-managed collectivism. There is no way around this eventual conflict. As long as the centralists continue to pursue total power, men and women will gather to fight them and the situation will escalate. The only conceivable way that this fight could be defused is if the elites stop doing what they do. If they suddenly become enlightened and realize the error of their ways, then perhaps we could escape the troubles unscathed. Or, if those same elites all happen to meet an abrupt end and their influence is neutralized, then the world might have a chance to adjust and adapt in a more organic fashion. Unfortunately, there are people who refuse to believe that a fight is unavoidable. They desperately want to believe there is another way, and they will engage in an amazing display of mental gymnastics in order to justify this belief. First, I think it is important to note that I have always argued that the globalists will eventually fail in their pursuit. I find that some folks out there misinterpret my position when I outline the strategies of globalists and they assume I am presenting global centralization as a sine qua non. I do not argue that the elites will win the fight, I only argue that there is no way to avoid the fight. Those that want to know my views on why globalist defeat is a certainty can read my article The Reasons Why The Globalists Are Destined To Lose. The rhetorical question always arises: How could the globalists ever hope to secure dominance over the entire world; isnt that an impossible task? I believe according to my knowledge of history and human psychology that it IS an impossible task, but that is NOT going to stop the globalists from trying. This is what the cynics just dont seem to grasp; we are dealing with a group of narcissistic psychopaths organized around a cult ideology and with nearly unlimited resources at their fingertips. These people think they are rising man-gods, like the Egyptian pharaohs of old. They cannot be persuaded through superior logic or emotional appeal. They will not be deterred by mass activism or peaceful redress. They only understand one thing the force of arms and the usefulness of lies. Such people are notorious for taking entire civilizations down with them rather than ceding their thrones. It is foolish to plan a response to them on the assumption that a fight can be avoided. When I say that the globalists are destined to lose, this is predicated on my understanding that a certain percentage of human beings will always have an inherent capacity for resistance to tyranny. The globalists will be defeated because there is no way to quantify every single threat to their utopian framework. As long as people continue to fight them, physically and with information, regardless of the personal cost, their weaknesses will be found and they will fall. This will not be accomplished, however, without considerable sacrifice. When I talk about collapse, I am talking about a process. Collapse is not an singular event, it is an ongoing series of events. The U.S. has, for example, been in the middle of a collapse since 2008. The end of this collapse will come when the final economic bubble propping up our system has burst and the process of rebuilding begins. The most important questions is, WHO will do the rebuilding? The globalists with their power agenda, or common people seeking freedom and prosperity? I have outlined in numerous articles the reality that an ongoing destabilization of large portions of the global economic framework will be used by the elites as leverage to convince the public that greater centralization is necessary, including global economic management through the IMF and BIS, a global currency using the IMFs Special Drawing Rights as a bridge and global governance through the United Nations or a similar body not yet developed. This plan is becoming more and more openly discussed by globalists within the mainstream media. Its hardly a secret anymore. Many people will undoubtedly support this centralization out of fear of instability. That said, many people will also refuse to support it. Here is how I believe, according to historical precedence and the globalists own writings, that they will attempt to assert global centralization post-collapse and enforce compliance. As I point out in many of my articles on the necessity for localism, without ample food, water and shelter self-maintained by groups of like minded citizens, no resistance can be mounted against a centralizing force. If you cannot supply your own logistics, then you must resort to stealing them from the enemy. Obviously, it is less risky to supply yourself if possible. Post-collapse, when rule of law in many places has broken down and resources can no longer be transferred safely from region to region, the name of the game will be control of necessities and the producers of necessities. This is also used by totalitarians when the danger of unrest is present. A prime example of this method in action was the Stalinist consolidation of the Soviet Union. The fact is, successful rebellions in occupied nations tend to grow in rural surroundings. Cities are often strongholds for totalitarians because they offer more means of surveillance, a more passive population and, once taken over, they are easier to secure and defend. I call this the green zone doctrine; the use of locked down cities as pivot points to launch attacks on rural people. Stalin used this very model, sending troops from controlled cities to plunder resources from outlying farming communities. He then stored these supplies for redistribution; the people deemed most useful to the regime were fed, the people deemed not useful or potential threats were not fed. In the end, Stalin killed off many potential rebels simply by denying them food production or food access. The elites do not need to own every inch of ground in order to launch an effective campaign of martial law. All they need to do is own key cities through surveillance technology and troop presence, then use these cities as staging grounds to confiscate resources in surrounding areas from people they do not like. If you think the government would not pursue that kind of tactic in the U.S., I highly suggest you look into Executive Order 13603, signed by Barack Obama in 2012. This order gives the president authority during a national emergency to take any private property or resources if it is deemed necessary to national defense. It should be noted that starvation as a weapon has been extremely useful for the elites in the past. If the elites are anything, they are rather predictable. This is because they have a habit of consistently using strategies that have worked for them before. In my article When The Elites Wage War On America, This Is How They Will Do It, I examine the writings of Council On Foreign Relations member, Max Boot, on methods for quelling insurgencies. In the U.S., insurgency is a given post-collapse. The only question is whether it will be a large insurgency or a small one. I do not hold out much hope for most of the rest of the world in terms of generating a useful rebellion. Most citizens in Europe and Asia are unarmed and untrained. Any resistance in these regions will be very small and cell structured if it is going to survive. The methods Max Boot describes tend toward larger threats to the establishment. Boot mentions specifically the great success by the British in Malaysia from 1948-1960 against highly effective communist guerillas and terrorists. This success can be attributed to several factors: 1) The British used large-scale concentration camps to separate production centers from rebel influence. These were massive camps surrounded by barbed wire fences and guard towers, primarily used to house farmers and other workers and their families. This stopped the guerillas from hiding among the working class and recruiting from them. This follows the green zone doctrine I described above. 2) The British implemented a sophisticated identification system for all Malaysian citizens including fingerprinting. They then set up numerous checkpoints across the country at which citizens had to produce their paperwork. Anyone who did not have their papers was held on suspicion of being an insurgent. The rebels in Malaysia attempted to counter this by forcefully taking over busy buildings and buses, then burning everyones IDs. This would not be a very effective tactic in a digitized world where identification is accomplished through advanced biometrics. 3) Instead of fielding massive lumbering military brigades in a useless effort to cover large stretches of ground, the British used spies and informants to locate rebel strongholds, then sent special forces units in to neutralize them. Again, they did not need to control every inch of ground; they used military assets wherever the rebels were, then left. Their goal was not to control a lot of ground, but to kill rebels. The British used considerable brutality in their efforts, including a mobile gallows that traveled the country, and the public display of rotting corpses to strike fear in the insurgency. 4) The political elites in Britain fought the psychological war by offering promises of peace and prosperity to the Malaysian commoners if they supported the effort against the insurgency. They did not necessarily need to follow through on these promises, all they needed to do was create a few examples of reward for cooperation, and sell this to the public in a convincing manner. Once enough of the population was in the hands of the British, the insurgency lost supply resources and also had to worry about informants. Malaysia was an example of a competent strategy to uproot insurgents, but there were also many failures and pitfalls. The elites are trying to mitigate any future unknown quantities when fighting against rebellions through the use of new technologies. The green zone doctrine could only be successful today with the use of biometric surveillance. Restriction of movement could be accomplished, but only in cities with extensive surveillance grids. The insurgents of a post-collapse future would be hard pressed to infiltrate or exfiltrate from a green zone with currently available facial recognition, gait and walk recognition, retina and thumbprint scanning, etc. Facial recognition has even gone into the realm of thermal imaging; cameras can use the unique heat signature from blood vessels within the human face to identify a person from a relative distance. Make-up and prosthetics would not counter this. Thermal masking would be the only solution. Beyond that, an insurgency would have to be technologically savvy. Cyber warfare would have to be integral to their methodology. This is not something any other rebellion in history has had to deal with. The globalists strategy to trigger economic and social chaos, then lock down certain regions and offer centralization as a solution to the population, is far easier to accomplish when the opposition they face lacks insight, patience, planning and initiative. The British were partially successful in Malaysia because the guerillas were ignorant of public perception. While they were effective and ruthless fighters, their viciousness resulted in lack of public support. Though wide public support is not needed for victory, it certainly helps. Multiple revolutions against Stalins power, some of them very large, were put down because of poor planning. Rebels massed sizable forces in tight areas, such as a single mountain or mountain ranges. Stalin simply dropped poisonous gasses on insurgents that had put all their eggs in one basket and forgot to stockpile gas masks. It is vital to recognize that in a post-collapse world governments and elites may no longer be subject to public scrutiny, and are thus free to act as maliciously as they want. All contingencies have to be considered. Rebels in the Soviet Union also had a bad habit of ignoring logistics. Many were armed with mismatched rifles and a rainbow selection of ammunition instead of arming all their men with the same rifle and the same ammo for redundancy. Rebellions have been lost in the past merely because the fighters armed with too wide an array of weapons ran out of enough ammo to feed any of them. Insurgents have also historically suffered from an inability to strike the leadership centers of the empires they fought. Primarily because they did not know who the real leadership was. Only in our modern era do we have the information available to identify the elites and their organizations. Globalists are often very vocal today in media about who they are and what they want. This is why the elites seek to make the next insurgency the LAST insurgency. Never before have they been so vulnerable. I believe the globalists will use their standard strategy of disinformation and division first to acquire centralization, but eventually they will turn to a Stalin/Malaysian model for control on the ground. I will have to save the specific counter-strategies to these tactics for another article. Some of them I probably cannot legally discuss at all. The most important thing to remember, though, is that the globalists job is harder than our job. They have to control people, property, resources, and mass psychology. They have thousands of variables to take into account, and thousands of situations that could go wrong. All we have to worry about is our own local organization, our own moral compass, our own survival and removing the top globalists from the picture.

Just doing my job, they ran from us so had to squeeze a few off. Brandon is absolutely right about the fight being unavoidable, and the elite, globalist, or whatever name they may take, losing in the end, but he is wrong about the only two possible outcomes. The total control and micromanagement that stems from tyranny is only a phase that societies go through on their way to collapse. If that system, tyranny and total control was sustainable at all, it would still be in place today from the attempts centuries ago. I guess if the Bible was believed, and there would possibly be an anti-Christ,and a world wide religion,and a final battle called Armageddon, and the return of Christ,then all the speculation would be useless,but many say the Bible isnt true,God is not real,and Jesus will not return.I know what I believe and Ill just stick with it. Glenn. Read Pr. Chuck Baldwins article on News With Views dot com. It addresses your concern. i think the most important factor in the malasya insurgency was that the british forces eventualy armed the local population and fortified the villages, from then on each village worked as a stronghold wich could be quickly reinforced if under attack, this allowed them to conduct sweep operations and the tracking of the rebel camps, reduce casualties and expenses. Every security measure against the population will have bad results and this will grow as time passes, since an insurgency has a political background and its created by social problems, it will also create a public backlash unless other countries are not capable to intervene, because if they do the local goverment will be fighting its own population along with whoever does intervene. But if the problem of someone else intervening is resolved, this does seem to be the strategy they will follow since they will not be able to use the stronghold strategy, still they will have to deal with very large populations, either trough biological or nuclear weapons, but if they do use them they will have to deal with their own armies as there will be no counterbalance againts them, if they dont use them an attack againts any of this sites could probably put an entire region out of operation. So it seems the only way this could be accomplished is either trough the total neutralization of any other country along with internal power structures, or trough gradual destruction of liberties until this situation exist by itself making everybody dependant on the centralized goverment, still if they do this this situation applyes to both sides, wich will create the same siege situation for everyone, this will be exponential as technology advances and is restricted to the lower ranks, wich in turn will be making the internal power structure that held the balance of the system together less necessary. If it ever comes to this i doubt it will be done before those problems are resolved, wich will be easy by putting people in key positions that will not be a threat or that will not see the end result of the situation. It seems like a host of EMP devices would be good to use against these modern globalistic centers. 
1	Ignoring the ever-looming specter of his own mortality, sources confirmed that local web designer Spencer Krone devoted a rapidly fleeting portion of his finite life Thursday evening to participating in a mock draft for his Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Baseball league Diggin For Goldschmidt. Dammit, somebody already got Mike Trout, Krone reportedly said as his every breath brought him closer to the inevitable end of his time on earth, with the 26-year-old having chosen to dedicate over two hours of his brief yet precious existence to a full 23-round practice run of an upcoming fantasy draft. Hope I can still get McCutchen. McCutchens really good. At press time, Krone, who will reportedly never have the chance to relive his mid-20s, had just made a note that Los Angeles Angels third baseman David Freese could be a quality sleeper pick late in the draft. 
1	After turning 29 last week, local single woman Denise Palermo reportedly took the opportunity Tuesday to reflect on her current lack of long-term relationship prospects and slash several more items from the continually shrinking list of qualities she desires in a romantic partner. Well, its time to lower the bar again, said Palermo, referring to the minimum personal, professional, and financial characteristics she looks for in the men she dates. Full head of hairthats got to go. Being well-read has been on the chopping block for years, so its probably time to get rid of that one. Ditto on him being a great conversationalist, being taller than me, liking the Decemberists, and not taking himself too seriously. Come to think of it, my upper age limit has been 40 for a while, Palermo added. Maybe nows a good time to go ahead and bump that up to 45. According to sources, Palermos checklist, which as recently as 2007 included more than 38 specifically ranked physical, emotional, and intellectual attributes, has been cut down by more than two-thirds since her teenage years, when her image of the ideal boyfriend was at its zenith. Priorities that once occupied top slots, such as having good teeth, a love of international travel, and individually defined abdominal muscles, were long ago demoted in importance, and are now said to be considered perks, though they are by no means requirements for Palermo to date someone. I used to say Id only ever consider getting involved with a professional, ideally a doctor, but then as I got a little older it was anyone with a bachelors degree, and now, honestly, any guy who holds down a steady job can make the cut, said Palermo, noting that lack of full-time employment as a deal-breaker is scheduled for removal by 2019. He doesnt even need to own his own place or like the outdoors, criteria that were removed from the list in 2011 and 2012, respectively. I will say, though, that a love of dogs is still very important to me, Palermo continued. That ones got at least another two years left in it. This latest trimming of Palermos list comes after similar purges on birthdays in 2002, 2003, 2006, 2010, 2011, 2012, and last year, when she reluctantly struck off her long-held prohibition against dating smokers. Though she acknowledged the nonnegotiable traits she absolutely insists upon are fewnamely wanting to have kids someday, not being overtly religious, and maintaining a basic, minimal level of physical fitnessPalermo said she often wonders whether there might still be a lot of compatible partners out there she isnt giving a chance to. Sometimes I think maybe its unreasonable for me to have these expectations, said Palermo, admitting that lately she has come to terms with dating men who dont have much in the way of a sense of humor. Maybe there are a lot of good guys out there who dont listen to music or read more than a book a year. I guess I could figure out how to be okay with that. Because really, when you get down to it, there are only two things that are important: that a guy is attracted to me and that he isnt currently dating someone else, Palermo continued. I havent had to cross those off. Yet. 
3	Vaccine Damage, The Hidden TruthBy Jon Rappoport The issue here is: refusing to believe an uncomfortable fact. An unpleasant fact. A devastating fact. There is a simple formula that describes how the public refuses to believe an uncomfortable fact. It goes this way: Well, if that were true, then Its a statement that suggests a person is standing at the edge of a cliff. And if he accepted some particularly unpleasant fact, hed suddenly fall off. Another way to look at it: if he accepted this fact, it would lead, by contagion, to him admitting there were other very uncomfortable truths. And then, by extension, like branches quickly growing out of a tree, a whole host of multiplying shocks would become known. So it is, in the area of vaccines. The experts, like preening peacocks, assure us that the shots are amazingly safe. After all, theyve done the studies. Theyve published the studies. There is widespread fraud in those reports, because, for example, of the short follow-up periodas if adverse effects could only occur in a 72-hour window, or over the course of a few weeks. Who decided that? Who made that arbitrary rule? And then, most importantly, studies are not real life. We have seen glowing assessments of medical drugs in print, but when they are (like Vioxx) released for public use, people start dropping like flies. In the case of vaccines (in real life), the one system for reporting human damage is broken. Completely broken. Its called VAERS, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. Its run by the CDC and the FDA. (My readers are aware of how many crimes and lies Ive laid at the door of those two august agencies.) Who can make a report of an adverse vaccine-reaction? A parent, a doctor, a nurse, a nurse practitioner. You can see the problems right away. How many parents even know the VAERS system exists? How many parents have the knowledge or the will to follow through and submit a report? How many parents will dare to suspect that a vaccine has injured their children? How many doctors or nurses who administer vaccinations are eager to report cases of children who incur obvious brain damage from the shot THEY GAVE? Sofor doctors and medical experts to claim vaccines are safe in the real world? Theyre pretending they know what they dont know. Theyre faking it. But if that were true, then Thats right. If that were true, we would have no proof that vaccines are safe. Therefore, when the government advises and nudges and even demands that people line up for vaccinations, the government is in the dark about safety. Completely in the dark. But if that were true Then the entire population is at risk. Thats right. Lets go back to those pre-marketing studies, which are done on vaccines in order to gain FDA approval. Who conducts the studies? The vaccine manufacturers. And who stands to profit from the sale of the vaccines? Ever heard of conflict of interest? And have any studies been done to assess the risks of giving multiple vaccines? After all, the CDC schedule keeps getting longer and longer. I can find no evidence of well-formed clinical trials assessing the safety of shooting people in the arm with multiple vaccines. Does that seem like an oversight? A horrendous hole in the science of vaccination? But if thats true, then We would, again, have no proof that vaccination is safe. Correct. Now, from the historical record, we do have many, many disturbing examples of what has happened to people after vaccines have been approved. Here are just a few: What about this? Accidents may, however, follow the use of this so-called killed (rabies) vaccine owing to inadequate processing. A very serious occurrence of this sort occurred at Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil, in 1960. No fewer than 18 out of 66 persons vaccinated with Fermis carbolized (rabies) vaccine suffered from encephalomyelitis and every one of the eighteen died. Sir Graham Wilson, Hazards of Immunization. What about this? Administration of KMV (killed measles vaccine) apparently set in motion an aberrant immunologic response that not only failed to protect children against natural measles, but resulted in heightened susceptibility. JAMA Aug. 22, 1980, vol. 244, p. 804, Vincent Fulginiti and Ray Helfer. The authors indicate that such falsely protected children can come down with an often severe, atypical form of measles. Atypical measles is characterized by fever, headache and a diverse rash (which) may consist of a mixture of macules, papules, vesicles, and pustules What about this? Based on the only U.S. findings on adverse DPT reactions, an FDA-financed study at the University of California, Los Angeles, one out of every 350 children will have a convulsion; one in 180 children will experience high-pitched screaming; and one in 66 will have a fever of 105 degrees or more. Jennifer Hyman, Democrat and Chronicle, Rochester, New York, special supplement on DPT, dated April, 1987. What about this? A study undertaken in 1979 at the University of California, Los Angeles, under the sponsorship of the Food and Drug Administration, and which has been confirmed by other studies, indicates that in the U.S.A. approximately 1,000 infants die annually as a direct result of DPT vaccinations, and these are classified as SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) deaths. These represent about 10 to 15% of the total number of SIDS deaths occurring annually in the U.S.A. (between 8,000 and 10,000 depending on which statistics are used). Leon Chaitow, Vaccination and Immunization, CW Daniel Company Limited, Saffron Walden, Essex, England, 1987. What about this? Up to half of family doctors do not want to be vaccinated against swine flu. GPs will be first in the line for the jabs when they become available but many will decline, even though they will be offering the vaccine to their patients. More than two thirds of those who will turn the jab down believe it has not been tested enough. Most also believe the flu has turned out to be so mild in the vast majority of cases that the vaccine is not needed. Last night Government experts criticised GPs who decide not to have the jab, saying they will put vulnerable patients needlessly at risk. A week ago, a poll of nurses showed that a third would turn down the opportunity of being vaccinated against swine flu. News that medics are unconvinced by the need for a vaccine will cause grave concern to patients who will be invited for the jab over the next few months. A poll of doctors for Pulse magazine found that 49 per cent would reject the vaccine with 9 per cent undecided. Daily Mail, 8/25/2009. These few references to vaccine disasters are but a drop in the bucket, of course. If these and other such references are true (and they are), then Doctors and medical bureaucrats are telling massive lies about the safety of vaccines. They arent just ignorant about safety. Correct. And if thats true, then How can we trust these people? How can we trust the major media outlets that give overwhelming support to these people? We cant. When mothers tell the world that their children, after a shot, are never the same again, they arent providing anecdotes, contrasted with scientific studies. The mothers are giving us a much more reliable account of what vaccines are doing than the fakery of the science. But if the mothers are right (and they are) And if the experts are lying through their teeth about vaccine safety (and they are) Then Reality is not what were told it is. Its the opposite of what were told. And this isnt merely an intellectual glitch. Every day, lives are on the line. Every single day. Ill leave you with a fantastical piece of science from the government VAERS website VAERS Data page. It centers on the use of the word coincidence. If this doesnt convince you that truth has been hijacked, I dont know what will: More than 10 million vaccines per year are given to children less than 1 year old, usually between 2 and 6 months of age. At this age, infants are at greatest risk for certain medical adverse events, including high fevers, seizures, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Some infants will experience these medical events shortly after a vaccination by coincidence. These coincidences make it difficult to know whether a particular adverse event resulted from a medical condition or from a vaccination. Do you see the diabolical criminal sophistry? Some infants will experience these medical events [seizures, death, etc.] shortly after a vaccination by coincidence. By coincidence. Yes, you see, an hour after the baby was given the vaccine, he also contracted a raging case of meningitis, or his parents also, coincidentally, fed him a poison, or a bio-warfare germ floated in the window and settled on his tongue, or a flash of light from a distant galaxy struck him in the eyes and blinded him. Therefore, reputable scientists are unable to determine whether the vaccine caused the damage. This is what government scientists and bureaucrats are selling terrified grief-stricken parents whose childs life has just been destroyed by a shot in the arm. This is policy. This is what you shouldnt question, because if you do, you might experience an unpleasant sensation in the pit of your stomach. Yes, Your Honor, the child was standing in the middle of the street, and a car did come over the hill and strike him, but it would be a grievous mistake to assume the car caused the damage the child incurred. Something else could have happened at the same instant, something of which were unaware. Im prepared to give the court a list of 50 possible other events They, the scientists and the doctors and medical bureaucrats, are, indeed, prepared. Theyre fully prepared, without a shred of conscience, to explain how their attack on your childs life had absolutely nothing to do with them.

Thanks John It used to be that when a drug company developed a drug and did trials, those trials then had to be replicated by the FDA. This is good science. During the Bush Administration, the rules were changed so that the FDA no longer attempted to replicate drug trials: they were simply required to take the drug companys word for how their trials had turned out. This is because Big Government is bad, and the marketplace is good. Those parts of Big Government that help and protect people, like clinics, Social Security, and oversight of pharmaceutical companies claims for their products, have to be cut because we cant afford them. At the same time, those parts of Big Government that protect the status quo, like Homeland Security, and the giganto-enormous military industrial complex, have to be hugely expanded. After starting what turned out to be a 50+ back and forth discussion (I was neither pro nor negative I just chose not to vaccinate my children) on the Robert ANton Wilson fan group on FBwhoahhe was a rather free and lucid philosopherhis fandom is not!

Argue this15 minute videowas responded to in 3-4 seconds by people who knew the point of view was wrong! CheersI just posted thisI got some sleep in between the flurry of commentslol Another great article Jon. The truth is like a ratchet once people realise the truth there is no going back. It may take a year, 5 years, 50 years but this is only going to end one way. Moms stop the invitro and stop vaxxing (vexing) your child. Whats the health problem with invitro? I think you meant the unholy new practice of vaccinating while pregnant which will have a similar outcome as thalidomide except mostly mental effects. or terminations instead of flipper babies. H1N1 vaccine caused a 700% increase in miscarriages at every trimester. The term in vitro means in a test tube . In VIVO means in your body. I really dont know about this hacking thing..But i just came accrossa good hacker who helped me hack my boyfriends text messages and watts messages remotely..You dnt have to touch his phone while you have access to his conversations..Contact xoogre@gmail.com tell him #Janice referred you then thank me later thank you Jon.. another fine article to spread about. I do wish to add: when I was a practicing neuropsychologist (am now retiredthank god) I worked with more than a few parents whose children developed autism immediately consequent to receiving vaccinations. Since I had become aware of the flu shot hoaxes and the creation of illnesses (see Baxter pharma) and the real damage done during the decade following 9/11 it did not require any super intelligence to recognize that a great evil was at war against the people. by the medical/pharmaceutical industries. And who is it that owns and controls these forces? If I accept seeming evil for any other purpose, I am at once bound in chains of sense and seeming and sink deeper and deeper in the shadows, until that which should be a symbol for the very highest, following the law of contradictories, becomes the very lowest and foulest. Looking out into the world to-day, with its teeming Jon Rappaport has made a career of misquoting studies of vaccines. He quotes the naturopath Chaitlow who is not an MD and has not experience in peer-reviewed research: A study undertaken in 1979 at the University of California, Los Angeles, under the sponsorship of the Food and Drug Administration, and which has been confirmed by other studies, indicates that in the U.S.A. approximately 1,000 infants die annually as a direct result of DPT vaccinations, and these are classified as SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) deaths. These represent about 10 to 15% of the total number of SIDS deaths occurring annually in the U.S.A. (between 8,000 and 10,000 depending on which statistics are used). Leon Chaitow, Vaccination and Immunization, CW Daniel Company Limited, Saffron Walden, Essex, England, 1987. This is a naked lie. The study does NOT claim these deaths are a direct result of DPT vaccinations. 1979 Meetings are held at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Bureau of Biologics and at the CDC to discuss reports of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in Tennessee following pertussis vaccination. NO evidence of a causal relationship is found. Wyeth Laboratories, the manufacturer, withdraws the questioned vaccine lot nonetheless (Coulter and Fisher, 1985). FDA funds a study to evaluate adverse reactions to DPT vaccines. The study is to be carried out at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). The Vaccine Damage Payment Act is passed in Great Britain. The act provides a mechanism for government compensation to those with vaccine-associated injuries (Griffith, 1989). Sweden stops using whole-cell pertussis vaccine because of reported reactions and a lack of vaccine efficacy. The number of pertussis cases increases (Coulter and Fisher, 1985). 1981 The findings of the FDA-sponsored UCLA study are published (Cody et al., 1981). The rate of minor reactions and serious short-term reactions following DPT is found to be higher than that following DT. The British Blue Book (Department of Health and Social Security, 1981) is published. It includes the findings of the NCES (Alderslade et al., 1981) and reports from several panels. The NCES concludes that both DPT and measles vaccines can cause acute neurologic reactions and permanent brain damage but that the latter is a very rare complication. The attributable risk (see Glossary of Terms) of serious neurologic illness in the 7 days following pertussis vaccination is estimated to be 1 in 110,000 immunizations, and that of persistent neurologic damage after 1 year is estimated to be 1 in 310,000 immunizations (with wide confidence limits in both cases).http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK234365/ My point is not to take a position on vaccines but to point out that Rappaport is not a reliable source of information. He quotes a book, which was not peer-reviewed, in a a total misstatement of the findings of the UCLA study. When authors lie, we must dismiss them and seek reliable information. Please read the quotations carefully..I am not taking a position but pointing out dishonest reporting. I think we can all agree that is reprehensible.. We have to fight them. There will not be a peaceful solution to regain our freedom and rights. Anyone who thinks the NWO movement is just going to submit is very mistaken. Its simple. We die fighting or, we die anyway The lethal 4 headed monster: Vaccines, GMOs, chemtrails and fluoride. (We can add: smart phones, cell towers, smart metersam i leaving anything out???) 
3	Does Russia-U.S. Tension in Syria Foreshadow Military Confrontation?By Brandon Turbeville If the general public of Russia and the West are not aware of the dangers of further meddling in the Middle East by the United States and NATO, the state actors of the two sides are clearly aware of the potential ramifications. Of course, it cannot go without mentioning that the entire confrontation now taking place in Syria between the United States, NATO, and Russia is entirely the making of the West since it was NATO and the U.S. that created the crisis to begin with. As the military chess pieces continue to be set across the world, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has already stated that the United States should engage in bi-lateral military-to-military communication with Russia over operations in Syria in order to avoid unintended incidents. While Lavrov did not spell out exactly what he meant by unintended incidents, his meaning was clear unintended incidents are a direct military confrontation between the United States/NATO and Russian forces. We are always in favor of military people talking to each other in a professional way. They understand each other very well, Lavrov added. If, as (U.S. Secretary of State) John Kerry has said many times, the United States wants those channels frozen, then be our guest. The Western mainstream press has, of course, pounced upon the statement as if it were a veiled threat to the United States. Lavrov, however, made his statement in the course of explaining the importance of military-to-military communication so as to avoid such incidents in the course of simultaneous operations on the same field. In other words, it was not a threat but it was a cautionary warning. Still, Lavrovs words address a very real possibility of direct military confrontation between Russian and American forces in the skies or on the ground in Syria. As I mentioned in my article, Are Russians Sending Military Support To Syria? Potential Conflict With NATO?, while a Russian military presence in the Syrian capital will undoubtedly provide an important boost to the Syrian militarys battle against ISIS and other Western-backed terrorists, it will also provide the world with the potential for direct military confrontation between the two major world powers, both of them armed with nuclear weapons. But, while the Western press has seized upon Lavrovs statement as provocative, it should be pointed out that ISIS Czar General John Allen has gone much further in terms of hinting at the potential for a real fight to break out between the US and Russia over Syria. In an interview with Jake Tapper of CNN, Allen was asked about the recent Russian involvement in Syria. Part of that interaction is provided below: QUESTION: The Russian foreign ministry just finally acknowledged that they do have some personnel in Syria aiding Assad, aiding Bashar al-Assads regime in its fight against ISIS. Do you have a problem with Russian forces in Syria on Assads side, but fighting ISIS? GENERAL ALLEN: Weve been watching this closely over the last several days, watching the buildup to see what it might mean. QUESTION: So we dont know whether or not its a good thing or a bad thing? GENERAL ALLEN: Well, I think its a bad thing QUESTION: Okay. GENERAL ALLEN: if the Russians use combat forces to prop up the regime of Bashar al-Assad. QUESTION: Okay. GENERAL ALLEN: Bashar al-Assad is singularly responsible for the death of tens of thousands of his people. Much of the instability in the region is a direct result of the actions of Bashar al-Assad, and to prop him up with military force creates an additional crisis in the region, and in fact, could bring Russian forces in confrontation with Coalition forces that are fighting Daesh in Syria.[i] [emphasis added] Notice Allen states that, amidst absurd and ridiculous claims that fighting in the Middle East is largely attributable to Assad (in reality, it is attributable to the United States, NATO, GCC, Israel and people like Allen himself), he states that the Russian involvement in Syria could bring Russian forces in confrontation with Coalition forces. Allens rhetoric is not only disingenuous, it is incredibly dangerous. It was also largely unreported in the media in contrast to Lavrovs statement. Yet the disagreements between Russia and the United States (the anti-ISIS coalition vs the anti-anti-ISIS coalition) have gone beyond mere words. While the United States has committed money, arms, training, special forces personnel, and air cover for terrorists, Russia has supplied the Syrian government with arms, missiles, military vehicles and fighter jets. Russia recently provided Assad with a number of sophisticated missile defense systems and Russian made jets for the purpose of fighting the Western-backed terrorists. Russia has also begun construction of a military base inside Syria, particularly in Latakia that will most likely be used as a Forward Operating Base for operations against ISIS. In addition, Russia has recently committed 2,000 troops to Latakia as part of the first phase of its operations against ISIS. According to the Financial Times, Russia is to deploy 2,000 military personnel to its new air base near the Syrian port city of Latakia, signalling the scale of Moscows involvement in the war-torn country. The deployment forms the first phase of the mission there, according to an adviser on Syria policy in Moscow. The force will include fighter aircraft crews, engineers and troops to secure the facility, said another person briefed on the matter. Three western defence officials agreed that the Russian deployment tallied with the numbers needed to establish a forward air base similar to those built by western militaries in Afghanistan. The New York Times also reported the Russian deployment. It reported: The deployment of some of Russias most advanced ground attack planes and fighter jets as well as multiple air defense systems at the base near the ancestral home of President Bashar al-Assad appears to leave little doubt about Moscows goal to establish a military outpost in the Middle East. The planes are protected by at least two or possibly three SA-22 surface-to-air, antiaircraft systems, and unarmed Predator-like surveillance drones are being used to fly reconnaissance missions. With competent pilots and with an effective command and control process, the addition of these aircraft could prove very effective depending on the desired objectives for their use,said David A. Deptula, a retired three-star Air Force general who planned the American air campaigns in 2001 in Afghanistan and in the 1991 Persian Gulf war. In addition, a total of 15 Russian Hip transport and Hind attack helicopters are also now stationed at the base, doubling the number of those aircraft from last week, the American official said. For use in possible ground attacks, the Russians now also have nine T-90 tanks and more than 500 marines, up from more than 200 last week. The equipment and personnel just keep flowing in, said the American official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss confidential intelligence reports. They were very busy over the weekend. Around the same time and shortly after the deployment, the Russian embassy in Damascus came under a mortar attack from jihadists, an interesting maneuver since the Russians are obviously aware of who is actually controlling the death squads in Syria. In other words, the mortar attack represents a proxy attack on the Russian state apparatus as punishment for entering Syria on the side of Assad and the Syrian people. The Russian embassy issued a statement which alluded to the fact that the West was responsible for these attacks, stating that We expect a clear position with regard to this terrorist act from all members of the international community, including regional players. This requires not just words but concrete action. The Ministry stated that the ultimate responsibility was with the fighters foreign sponsors who used their influence on the fighters for such purposes. Notorious warmonger Secretary of State John Kerry then decided to one-up ISIS Czar Allen by stating that continued Russian action against ISIS could risk a confrontation with the anti-ISIS coalition. In an interview with La Stampa, Kerry stated that These actions could provoke a further escalation of the conflict and lead to the loss of more innocent lives, increasing the flow of refugees and risking a confrontation with the anti-ISIS (Islamic State) coalition operating in Syria. [emphasis added] At about the same time, Leith Fadel of Almasdar News (the Arab Source), reported that China has now decided to commit troops and military aircraft to Syria within the next six weeks. Although the reports have not been independently confirmed, the outlet cited a senior Syrian officer in the Syrian military for the claims regarding the Chinese plans. Fadels information has proven accurate many times in the past. Fadel writes, On Tuesday morning, a Chinese naval vessel reportedly traveled through Egypts Suez Canal to enter the Mediterranean Sea; its destination was not confirmed. However, according to a senior officer in the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) that is stationed inside the Syrian coastal city of Latakia, Chinese military personnel and aerial assets are scheduled to arrive in the coming weeks (6 weeks) to the port-city of Tartous he could not provide anymore detail. Russia has made it abundantly clear that they are taking an active role in this conflict, but the news of the Chinese military to Syria provides more insight into their contingency. The French, always willing to sink to the levels of the absurd while in the midst of a propaganda campaign, have now suggested that it will begin reconnaissance flights over Syria and retain the option to launch airstrikes against Syrian targets presented as Daesh but, in reality, are much more likely to be Syrian infrastructure. After all, the French airstrikes, as part of NATO, will be directed in the same manner as those conducted by the United States. All of this offensive bombing, of course, is only self-defense. French President Francois Hollande stated, We received specific intelligence indicating that the resent terrorist attacks against France and other European nations were organized by Daesh [Arabic derogatory term for IS] in Syria. Due to this threat we decided to start reconnaissance flights to have the option for airstrikes, if that would be necessary. This is self-defense. Such ridiculous claims of self-defense hearken back to the days of France standing together and supporting free speech after the Charlie Hebdo bombing, an institution that has not existed in France for decades. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carters ridiculous Gasoline statements were also of a warning nature, although not to the extent of Kerry and Allen in threats of confrontation. On September 24, Carter stated that To pursue the defeat of ISIL without at the same time pursuing a political transition is to fuel the very kind of extremism that underlies ISIL, and if thats the Russian view thats a logical contradiction. And the way out of that contradiction is to pursue both of those in parallel. And on that basis I think were prepared to discuss a way ahead with Russia where the political and the military move in parallel. He also stated that to avoid a political transition (i.e. the removal of Assad from power) is to pour gasoline on the ISIL phenomenon rather than to lead to the defeat of ISIL. At another point he suggested that a military-only Russian approach would be the same as pouring gasoline on the civil war in Syria. Of course, the stream of Russian logic is easy to follow in order to defeat ISIS, work with all parties currently fighting ISIS. The American logic presented by Carter is quite the opposite in order to defeat ISIS, first defeat the enemy of ISIS and oppose interested parties who are having success against ISIS. Russian President Vladmir Putin expressed this logic when he said that destroying Assads government will create a situation which you can witness now in the other countries of the region, where all the state institutions are disintegrated. He also added, There is no other solution to the Syrian crisis than strengthening the effective government structures and rendering them help in fighting terrorism. The American logic as it presented publicly, however, is quite different from the reality of the situation. The truth is that the United States does not want to defeat ISIS, it is responsible for the creation, funding, training, arming, and directing of that organization and it aims to continue to use it for foreign policy, geopolitical, and domestic purposes. If Russian pilots will be flying Russian planes in combat missions against ISIS in Syria, there is the very real potential that rogue nations like the United States and its coalition aircraft may find themselves in direct confrontation with Russian air forces. Considering the aggressive manner in which NATO powers have engaged in military provocations in places like Ukraine, an accidental brush with Russian fighter jets could not be ruled out in Syria, as dangerous and potentially destructive as such an act might be. With the United States engaging in airstrikes all across Syria, there exists the real possibility that lines of communications may become crossed intentionally or unintentionally between the United States and Russian forces, resulting in the downing of one or the others jets. If that happens, the level of tensions between the two powers will be increased to unprecedented levels, leaving open the question of whether or not the victim of the incident will opt to show restraint or engage in retaliatory measures. Likewise with the Israeli forces that continually launch bombing missions in Syria, and act as air cover for death squad fighters operating on the ground. The Israelis are notoriously provocative in their military adventures, encouraged by the fact that they have the United States military to back them up whenever they find themselves in trouble. Both destabilizing and unpredictable, the Israelis always stand as a potential trigger for dragging the United States into a war. While the Russians are fully supportive of an Israeli (Zionist) settler state, by supporting the Syrians against the Israeli-supported terrorists on the ground, the Russians run the risk of an accidental (or otherwise) confrontation with Israeli aircraft. With the question of Syria only one part of the Russia/Western divide, international peace and security from Asia to Syria to Ukraine is becoming increasingly destabilized by Western behavior. There are now two theatres where two nuclear powers have the distinct potential to be forced into direct conflict with one another, a confrontation that very well could end in thermonuclear war. The entire fate of the world could thus rest in the finger of a single soldier who may either prevent or cause a devastating conflagration that will alter life on this planet forever. Unless, of course, that was the plan all along. Brandon Turbeville article archive here is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

There isnt one ounce of common sense coming out of the White House or the Pentagon. If Obama wants to see just how incompetent his gay-loving Generals are, who have passed the litmus test, then go ahead and fire the first shot.

2	Scary Video Shows Muslims Invading Small Town A new and disturbing video has been circulating the web, which serves as a peak to what might happen to the world if we continue to sit back and be slow to action. The video shows a clip of what many people have been dubbing the Islamic Invasion of the United Kingdom. Watch what happens in this shocking interaction, but please be mindful that the video below contains some harsh language. UPDATE: Sorry the video has been removed. Scary, huh? 
2	Controversial Photo Of Michelle Obama Has Many Calling For Deportation Michelle Obama has faced tons of controversy after a viral photo was released, showing her angrily waving red flags on her trip to China. Captions attached to the photo claim that the flags are a communist symbol, and that the First Lady was making a political statement. The reason for Michelles trip was to meet with the regiment leaders in China. Her goal was to promote education and human rights. During her trip, Michelle also walked in a parade carrying the red banners. She was photographed while she was standing behind the podium. Her facial expressions are extraordinarily passionate and angry. The red flags have no political or communist markings on them, but many have been questioning their significance. The White House, however, has issued a statements claiming that the photo has been taken out of context. Others are claiming the video is simply a hoax. Others, however, claim that deeming the photo a hoax is simply a cop-out. What do you think of the photo? Does Michelle have a secret agenda? 
2	Mayor Refuses To Resign After Calling Obama A Muslim Following the terrorist attacks in San Bernardino, President Barack Obama was quick to come to the defense of the Muslim population, expressing his fear that the incident would lead to a fear of Islam. This is just one incident of many that have led to speculations that Obama may not be the Christian that he claims to be. Now, Mayor Bruce Hagen of Wisconsin has come under fire after calling President Obama a Muslim in one of his recent Facebook posts. The controversy began when a photo of Michelle Obama was posted on Hagens wall. Unbelievable! Hagen responded to the image. She and her Muslim partner have destroyed the fabric of democracy that was so very hard fought for! The post quickly went viral, and the administration began demanding that Hagen resign from his position. He did not back down, however. Do we still have freedom of speech in the country? Hagen asked his critics. Sometimes I kind of forget. I have huge respect for the Office of the President, but no respect for the current administration. What do you think? Do you agree with Hagen? Was he within his rights? 
2	Donald Trump Facing Damning Rape Scandal... Hes Calling For Your Support Liberals were hoping they could take down Donald Trump when they discovered a series of lawsuits that were filed against the legendary businessman for raping a child in the 1990s. Now, it is being revealed that these lawsuits were coordinated by an anti-Trump campaigner with a long history of making outlandish claims about celebrities. The Guardian reports that the lawsuits were filed by Norm Lubow, a former producer on the Jerry Spring TV show. Lubow previously alleged that OJ Simpson bought illegal drugs on the day his wife was murdered, and that Kurt Cobains widow had the Nirvana front-man killed. Lubow filed the lawsuits in California and New York, using the name Katie Johnson. In the filings, Trump was accused of raping Johnson when she was 13. From the beginning, the business mogul has denied the accusation. This is basically a sham lawsuit brought by someone who desires to impact the presidential election, Alan Garten, an attorney for Trump, told reporters. I dont even know if there is a plaintiff. I dont know a lawyer worthy of the bar who would put his name to this lawsuit. What do you think? Is this welcome news? 
2	Actress Candace Cameron Bure Takes Strong Stance For 2nd Amendment [VIDEO] Recently, The View hosted a debate about whether or not guns are safe for college campuses. Candance Cameron Bure was quick to call out the liberal hosts, proposing that we allow college students to be legally armed. Doing so, she argues, will prevent schools from becoming easy targets for shootings. Im okay with it, Bure commented. The reason being is so many of the gun free zones are the places that get attacked. And you do wonder if somebody was armed could less people have been killed in these mass shootings. Clearly the other hosts werent thrilled, but Bure continued. Also we have to remember that these children, theyre actually adults because they have to be 21 years old to be armed, they are concealed weapons, she argued. They have to go through the background checks; they have to go through the gun safety to be able to carry them. So this isnt an 18 year old out of the gate. Watch the full segment below and tell us what you think. 
3	Internet inventor praises Edward SnowdenWhile Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz calls leaks extremely damaging Former NSA contractor and leaker Edward Snowden was praised this week by Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the World Wide Web, while Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz criticized Snowden for leaking the contents of NSA surveillance programs. The latest discussions about Snowden comes as the Obama administration is attempting to block a federal judge from ruling on the constitutionality of the NSA surveillance programs, one of the members of the White House review board called for expanding the program and even more spying on world leaders was revealed. In what might be the most strongly worded statement released by a major world leader as of yet, the UN human rights chief likened the global response to government surveillance to the response to apartheid in South Africa. It also comes after a federal judge ruled that the NSAs mass collection of phone records is likely unconstitutional, the first such decision since the Snowden leaks began being published in June. While Dershowitz pointedly criticized both the media and Snowden, Berners-Lee said he believed Snowden behaved responsibly in leaking the material on NSA surveillance. Great Britains George Orwell warned us of the danger of this kind of information. The types of collection in the book microphones and video cameras, TVs that watch us are nothing compared to what we have available today, Snowden said, according to the Belfast Telegraph. We have sensors in our pockets that track us everywhere we go, Snowden said. Think about what this means for the privacy of the average person. Berners-Lee said on BBC Radio 4s Today program that he believed Snowden had done us all a favor. Was there anything else he could have done? Was there any other channel he could have gone through? I think it has been established that there was not, Berners-Lee said. Dershowitz strongly disagreed with such a sentiment, saying that Snowden should not have revealed the contents of the NSA surveillance programs. He could have easily gone on 60 Minutes, and disclosed the existence of the program without disclosing the contents, some of which is extremely damaging to our national security, Dershowitz said to Michael Smerconish, the guest host of Hardball. Dershowitz, who is a law professor at Harvard University, said that Snowden could have released the information in a classified debriefing, instead of revealing it to The Washington Post, The Guardian and eventually the public, according to Raw Story. Dershowitz focused on revealing NSA surveillance of other countries and world leaders. While he recognized that they raise some questions, he maintained they were not unconstitutional. We have an absolute right under our Constitution to listen to the prime minister of Israel, to listen to the chancellor of Germany, Dershowitz said, referring to the many revelations of spying on allied foreign leaders. That is not a constitutional issue, and yet he disclosed or people working on his behalf the fact that we are using surveillance abroad, outside the country, where the Constitution does not apply, he added. Berners-Lee, however, said that Snowden should be regarded as a really important part of the system. Navi Pillay, human rights chief for the UN, also said that it is very important that governments now want to discuss the matters of mass surveillance and right to privacy in a serious way. These positions on Snowden are just a microcosm of the much larger debate on the man, his leaks and the NSA surveillance programs that sprung up shortly after his leaks began to be published.

2	Obama Just Made This Extremely Controversial Comment About His Daughter... You Will Be Sick During Obamas second term in president, weve seen quite a transformation in Malia Obama. The First Daughter has gone from being a timid little girl to a wild, sometimes controversial, teen. Just last month, President Obama was criticized for allowing his daughter to intern on Lena Dunhams X-rated HBO series Girls. Now, rumor has it that Malia may actually be picking up a starring role on the show, beginning with an appearance as a guest next season. Lena is talking to Malia about a cameo on Girls, one source close to the series says. She can see Malias passion for the entertainment industry. Of course, Girls has been known for raw nudity and shockingly explicit sex scenes. Doesnt exactly seem like the place for a 17-year-old. Still, Lena and Malia have reportedly built a strong friendship this summer. What do you think? Is Obama a terrible parent? 
3	NY Electronic Communications Privacy Act PassedBy Mike Maharrey A coalition of 13 assembly members introduced Assembly Bill 9235 (A9235) on Feb 4. The legislation would help block the use of cell site simulators, known as stingrays. These devices essentially spoof cell phone towers, tricking any device within range into connecting to the stingray instead of the tower, allowing law enforcement to sweep up communications content, as well as locate and track the person in possession of a specific phone or other electronic device. The bill would require police to obtain a warrant before deploying a stingray device, unless they have the explicit permission of the owner or authorized possessor of the device. A9235 would also bar law enforcement agencies from compelling third party communication companies to release mobile device information without a warrant. This would include actual communication content such as phone conversations, text messages and email, location information and other metadata such as identifying information. The Assembly Codes Committee approved A9235 and referred it to the Rules Committee, where it will have to pass before moving on to the full Assembly. The bill does include an exception to the warrant requirement pursuant to an emergency involving danger of death or serious physical injury to a person. Even then, law enforcement agencies must get a court order authorizing retention of the data within three days or they must destroy all information gathered. Any information voluntarily provided to a law enforcement agency by a communications provider must be destroyed within 90 days unless it gets a court order authorizing retention, or explicit consent from the owner of the information, Provisions in A9235 would severely limit sharing of any legally obtained data. The legislation provides a legal remedy for anybody whose data is obtained in violation of the law. Persons who are party to or otherwise subject to a trial, hearing, or other legal or administrative proceeding may move to suppress electronic information obtained or retained in violation of this article, the United States Constitution, State Constitution, the New York State Constitution or the provisions of the criminal procedure law. The federal government funds the vast majority of state and local stingray programs, attaching one important condition. The feds require agencies acquiring the technology to sign non-disclosure agreements. This throws a giant shroud over the program, even preventing judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys from getting information about the use of stingrays in court. The feds actually instruct prosecutors to withdraw evidence if judges or legislators press for information. As the Baltimore Sun reported last fall, a Baltimore detective refused to answer questions on the stand during a trial, citing a federal non-disclosure agreement. Defense attorney Joshua Insley asked Cabreja about the agreement. Does this document instruct you to withhold evidence from the states attorney and Circuit Court, even upon court order to produce? he asked. Yes, Cabreja said. As privacysos.org put it, The FBI would rather police officers and prosecutors let criminals go than face a possible scenario where a defendant brings a Fourth Amendment challenge to warrantless stingray spying. The feds sell the technology in the name of anti-terrorism efforts. With non-disclosure agreements in place, most police departments refuse to release any information on the use of stingrays. But information obtained from the Tacoma Police Department revealed that it uses the technology primarily for routine criminal investigations. Some privacy advocates argue that stingray use can never happen within the parameters of the Fourth Amendment because the technology necessarily connects to every electronic device within range, not just the one held by the target. And the information collected by these devices undoubtedly ends up in federal databases. The feds can share and tap into vast amounts of information gathered at the state and local level through a system known as the information sharing environment or ISE. In other words, stingrays create the potential for the federal government to track the movement of millions of Americans with no warrant, no probable cause, and without the people even knowing it. According to its website, the ISE provides analysts, operators, and investigators with information needed to enhance national security. These analysts, operators, and investigators have mission needs to collaborate and share information with each other and with private sector partners and our foreign allies. In other words, ISE serves as a conduit for the sharing of information gathered without a warrant. The federal government encourages and funds stingrays at the state and local level across the U.S., thereby undoubtedly gaining access to a massive data pool on Americans without having to expend the resources to collect the information itself. By placing restrictions on stingray use, state and local governments limit the data available that the feds can access. In a nutshell, without state and local cooperation, the feds have a much more difficult time gathering information. This represents a major blow to the surveillance state and a win for privacy. By allowing defendants to suppress information obtained in violation of the law, A09235 would effectively stop one practical effect of NSA spying in New York. Reuters revealed the extent of such NSA data sharing with state and local law enforcement in an August 2013 article. According to documents obtained by the news agency, the NSA passes information to police through a formerly secret DEA unit known Special Operations Divisions and the cases rarely involve national security issues. Almost all of the information involves regular criminal investigations, not terror-related investigations. In other words, not only does the NSA collect and store this data, using it to build profiles, the agency encourages state and local law enforcement to violate the Fourth Amendment by making use of this information in their day-to-day investigations. This is the most threatening situation to our constitutional republic since the Civil War, Binney said. without a warrant in most situations. That, there is the key to the whole thing. I live in N.Y. and N.Y. is a police state, no doubt about it.They passed this law a few years ago called the S.A.F.E Act where they want gun owners to register at the police station and many other restrictive gun rights. The lawmakers in N.Y. absolutely hate the people of N.Y. They tax and regulate us to the point of paralysis. Just try and start a small business here. That is why eight thousand people a month are leaving this socialist utopia. If we still have a country left in a couple years, Im packing up and high tailing it out of here. America has been NAZIFIED by the Rothchild/Jesuit Satanist Bankers that Own-and-operate DC. They are responsible for ALL of the subversion, robbery and murder of the American People, for at least 100 years. EXECUTE these satanist Bankers for these crimes. SNAP the bastards necks at the end of a rope. Treason has a due. Since all data is susceptible to edits and can be manipulated by any hacker or back door agency. They dont care about no stinking law 
2	This Woman Banned Muslims From Her Business And Won In A Huge Way Jan Morgan, owner of Gun Cave Indoor Shooting Range, faced discrimination complaints when she made the controversial decision to stop Muslims from shooting at her range, declaring her business a Muslim-free zone. Although Morgan has received some threats of lawsuits, her policy remains in place, and business is booming. The Council for American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has threatened an anti-discrimination case, but Morgan has made the situation to stick to her gunspun intended. GeezeI hate to have to embarrass the liberal mainstream media again, but aa girls gotta do what a girls gotta do, Morgan wrote on her Facebook page last Wednesday, posting pictures of South Asian shooters. The post followed an accusation that Morgan turns down anyone with brown skin, and was made by a father and son of South Asian decent. The anonymous pair claim they identify as Hindu, and were turned away only because of their skin color. Morgan did acknowledge that she turned away the pair, but maintains that it was primarily due to their strange behavior. What do you think of Morgans rules? 
3	Why the Chemtrail Conspiracy Is RealBy Sayer Ji Admittedly, when the topic of chemtrails comes up, I get a bit uneasy. Like connecting vaccines with autism, certain topics have been so loaded with misinformation for so long that writing about them automatically invokes the specter of controversy, and not open discussion, as would be expected if discovering the truth were a priority. One highly marginalized but vocal sector of the population believes chemtrails are being sprayed on us like Raid on cockroaches by our invisible overlords to facilitate a depopulation agenda. On the other extreme are academics unashamedly publishing papers suggesting we should play God by using various geoengineering techniques with avowedly planet wide impacts to combat global warming. Rarely, however, do we see anyone convincingly tying together the first-hand observational data with objective data, to prove that there is something in these persistent contrails other than frozen water vapor. Thankfully, a groundbreaking study was recently published that did exactly this, bringing us closer to the truth than we have ever been before. The implications are simply profound and I believe may foment greatly expanded awareness and activism on the topic. New Research Proves Coal Fly Ash Is The Source Material for Chemtrails The new study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health titled, Evidence of Coal-Fly-Ash Toxic Chemical Geoengineering in the Troposphere: Consequences for Public Health, offers a convincing explanation for what is behind the so-called chemtrail phenomena, revealing that the source material used to create artificial weather visible throughout the world is the extremely toxic waste material from the electric industry known as coal fly ash. If you are not already aware, chemtrail is a colloquial term used to describe the persistent contrails, presumably laden with chemicals, observed issuing from aircraft that result in the formation of artificial cloud patterns and weather. Their existence has been almost universally written off as conspiracy theory by the media and government despite global evidence as clear as day that the weather is being manipulated with aerosols, presumably for geoengineering purposes intended to offset global warming. The new study, authored by San Diego resident J. Marvin Herndon, was initiated after he witnessed his region being sprayed daily by an, as of then, unidentified aerosol: In the spring of 2014, the author began to notice tanker-jets quite often producing white trails across the cloudless blue sky over San Diego, California. The aerosol spraying that was happening with increasing frequency was a relatively new phenomenon there. The dry warm air above San Diego is not conducive to the formation of jet contrails, which are ice condensate. By November 2014 the tanker-jets were busy every day crisscrossing the sky spraying their aerial graffiti. In a matter of minutes, the aerosol trails exiting the tanker-jets would start to diffuse, eventually forming cirrus-like clouds that further diffuse to form a white haze that scattered sunlight, often occluding or dimming the sun. Aerosol spraying was occasionally so intense as to make the otherwise cloudless blue sky overcast, some areas of sky turning brownish (Figure 1). Sometimes the navigation lights of the tanker-jets were visible as they worked at night, their trails obscuring the stars overhead; by dawn the normally clear-blue morning sky already had a milky white haze. Regardless, aerosol spraying often continued throughout the day. The necessity for daily aerosol emplacement stems from the relatively low spraying-altitudes in the troposphere where mixing with air readily occurs bringing down the aerosolized particulates and exposing humanity and Earths biota to the fine-grained substance. The authors concern about the daily exposure to ultra-fine airborne particulate matter of undisclosed composition and its concomitant effect on the health of his family and public health in general prompted the research reported here. The Long History of Covert Geoengineering Programs For those who have not witnessed the chemtrail phenomena directly, it would be easy to write off this authors testimony as dubious or merely anecdotal. But the author rightly points out that there is already extensive evidence in the historical record of covert geoengineering programs, and which he summarizes thusly: Geoengineering, also called weather-modification, has been carried out for decades at much lower altitudes in the troposphere. The recent calls for open discussion of climate control or geoengineering tend to obscure the fact that the worlds military and civilian sectors have modified atmospheric conditions for many decades as has been described by science historian, James R. Fleming [4]. Some of the early weather-modification research resulted in programs like Project Skywater (19611988), the U.S. Bureau of Reclamations effort to engineer the rivers of the sky; the U.S. Armys Operation Ranch Hand (19611971), in which the herbicide Agent Orange was an infamous part; and its Project Popeye (19671971), used to make mud, not war over the Ho Chi Minh Trail. These few examples of weather-modification, all of them secret at the time they were engaged, show that the weather is in the words of the military, a force multiplier [5]. The fact is that we dont need to speculate about whether these covert programs are still happening, because the evidence is hidden out in plain sight for millions to see on a daily basis. [Note: I highly suggest you watch Artificial Clouds, to get a primer on the difference between naturally occurring contrails and chemtrails.] The real questions here are: What is being sprayed? Who is behind the program? Why is there no public discussion of the program and its implications to human and environmental health? Coal Fly Ash Is More Toxic Than Radioactive Waste While it is clear that weather modification programs focused on enhanced precipitation are being conducted across the country using silver iodide, as recently exposed by our contributor Dave Dahls documentary Artificial Clouds, and that the result is global changes in weather patterns, exemplified by the temperature changes observed after the post-9/11 airplane grounding, the global geoengineering program appears to be a far greater threat to planetary health. What Herndons research uncovered is that, [T]oxic coal combustion fly ash is the most likely aerosolized particulate sprayed by tanker-jets for geoengineering, weather-modification and climate-modification purposes and describes some of the multifold consequences on public health. He arrived at this conclusion through the following methods: Two methods are employed: (1) Comparison of 8 elements analyzed in rainwater, leached from aerosolized particulates, with corresponding elements leached into water from coal fly ash in published laboratory experiments, and (2) Comparison of 14 elements analyzed in dust collected outdoors on a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter with corresponding elements analyzed in un-leached coal fly ash material. The results show: (1) the assemblage of elements in rainwater and in the corresponding experimental leachate are essentially identical. At a 99% confidence interval, they have identical means (T-test) and identical variances (F-test); and (2) the assemblage of elements in the HEPA dust and in the corresponding average un-leached coal fly ash are likewise essentially identical. Coal fly ash is a fine particle residue generated by coal combustion and is an extremely toxic material for the primary 3 reasons: 1) Because of its nanoparticle range sizing not only can it enter more easily into human tissue through skin, oral, or pulmonary contact, but it may also have greater toxicity due to its ability to mimic hormones and/or pass through cell membranes and altering nuclear programs to adversely alter cell phenotype. 2) It contains a wide range of heavy metals, including inorganic forms of aluminum and arsenic which are highly toxic to biological systems. Its mercury content can range as high as 1 part per million.(1) 3) It contains low-dose radioisotopes which can have profound, severe chronic adverse health effects several orders of magnitude higher than present toxicological risk assessments account for. Herndon states, Coal fly ash has been described as being more radioactive than nuclear waste [24]. As Herndon states, The consequences [of coal fly ash exposure] on public health are profound, including exposure to a variety of toxic heavy metals, radioactive elements, and neurologically-implicated chemically mobile aluminum released by body moisture in situ after inhalation or through transdermal induction. Disturbingly, the EPA recently ruled that coal fly ash is not to be considered a hazardous waste,(2) despite overwhelming evidence that contains dozens of compounds that individually present a serious enough environmental and human health risk to be classified and regulated as hazardous to health. When you consider that the EPA requires coal firing electrical plants to sequester the coal fly ash due to its known toxicity as a pollutant, the hypocrisy here is astounding. Of course, this ruling would protect those orchestrating the behind-the-scenes geoengineering agenda of using the electrical power industrys toxic byproduct: millions of tons of coal fly ash, as a beneficial substance used to combat global warming, even though the end result is the same: releasing a highly toxic material directly into the troposphere. Profit Motive and Not Evidence Drives The Geoengineering Agenda We already have examples of how this works. The private sector, like the aluminum industry, colludes with the government to take a highly toxic waste product like fluoride, and then lobby to have it legally mandated to be put into the environment and our bodies via fluoridation programs. Suddenly the industry responsible for concentrating and unleashing a substance that is not legal to dump into the environment due to safety concerns gets paid to have it dumped directly into our water supply which ends up in our environment and bodies. A highly toxic substance is simply re-purposed and rebranded as therapeutic when the profit motive is compelling enough to trump ethical and legal boundaries. As of 2005, U.S. coal-fired plants reported producing 71.1 million tons of fly ash, of which 29.1 million tons was reported reused for industrial applications.(3) Were it not for this recycling the industry would be left with a billion dollar problem, not unlike the nuclear industrys problem with nuclear waste. Therein alone lies a plausible motive for its use as a geoengineering ingredient, turning a liability into a profit center. Herndon offers additional insight into why he thinks coal fly ash was chosen as the preferred geoengineering ingredient: While academicians debate geoengineering as an activity that might potentially be needed in the future [2,3], evidence suggests that Western governments/militaries moved ahead with a full scale operational geoengineering program. But instead of mining and milling rock to produce artificial volcanic ash in sufficient volumes to cool the planet, they adopted a low-cost, pragmatic alternative, but one with consequences far more dire to life on Earth than global warming might ever be, and used coal combustion fly ash. To make matters worse, instead of placing the material high into the stratosphere, where there is minimal mixing and the substance might remain suspended for a year or more, they opted to spray coal fly ash into the lower atmosphere, the troposphere, which mixes with the air people breathe and gets rained down to ground. Another very important point made by Herndon is that this interventionist approach to combat global warming appears to have been poorly thought out, perhaps resulting in exactly the opposite of the stated intention: There is yet another consequence of tropospheric coal ash spraying that is contrary to cooling the Earth and has potentially far-reaching adverse ecological and public health implications: weather modification and concomitant disruption of habitats and food sources. As reported by NASA, Normal rainfall droplet creation involves water vapor condensing on particles in clouds. The droplets eventually coalesce together to form drops large enough to fall to Earth. However, as more and more pollution particles (aerosols) enter a rain cloud, the same amount of water becomes spread out. These smaller water droplets float with the air and are prevented from coalescing and growing large enough for a raindrop. Thus, the cloud yields less rainfall over the course of its lifetime compared to a clean (non-polluted) cloud of the same size [42]. In addition to preventing water droplets from coalescing and growing large enough to fall to Earth, coal fly ash, which formed under anhydrous conditions, will hydrate, trapping additional moisture thus further acting to prevent rainfall. That may cause drought in some areas, floods in others, crop failure, forest die-offs, and adverse ecological impacts, especially in conjunction with the chemically-mobile-aluminum contamination from coal fly ash. The consequences ultimately may have devastating effects on habitats and reduce human food production. Herndon leaves us with closing remarks difficult to ignore, including a call to action that I hope our readers take to heart: More than a half century ago Rachel Carson called the worlds attention to the unintended consequences of herbicides and pesticides widely employed by agriculture. Instead of turning a blind eye, people everywhere became motivated to stop the worst of this environmental onslaught. Today we are fully aware of the vast interconnected web of dependencies and symbioses that comprise life on our planet. Earth exists in a state of dynamic biological, chemical, and physical equilibrium whose complexity far exceeds the understanding of contemporary science. The pervasive tropospheric spraying of coal fly ash threatens this equilibrium, whose delicacy or whose resilience we cannot quantify. Human health is at risk as is Earths biota. Are we to remain silent? Or will we exercise our primal right to speak in our own defense as a species and question the sanity of emplacing coal fly ash in Earths perpetually moving atmosphere?

The goal is simple now listen. They want to introduce a global carbon tax! This tax will have no effect on the fake Global Warming.

2	Michelle Obama Gunning For Senate Seat First Lady Michelle Obama has been very vocal about her opinions lately, and some wonder whether she is gearing up to run for office herself. In a recent article from Western Journalism, an author claims that Michelles actions parallel Hillarys actions throughout her political career. This has led to speculation that Michelle may be planning to follow Hillarys path to office as well. Her unparalleledand incredibly unpopularmission to turn schools into her own nutritional laboratories is widely seen as evidence that she is more interested in furthering her own agenda than looking out for the welfare of the next generation, the author writes. The reporter continues on to comment that if Michelle does indeed run, it would most likely be in her home state of Illinois, where she would be up against Republican Mark Kirk. Michelles intentions have been called into question ever since she subconsciously made a statement about Obama taking office in 2008 during a fundraiser. During the fundraiser she claimed that many were there when Barack and I took officeor I took office alongsideor he took office and I was there. Additionally, the author claims that Michelles active fundraising schedule would give her a valuable leg up in securing donations for a potential Senate run. All seems to imply that Michelle may be looking to run for Senate soon. What do you think? Would you approve of Michelle as a Senator? 
3	25 Reasons to Ask Why? As We Enter 2013Michael Snyder, Contributor As we enter 2013, the American people are greedy, selfish, boastful, proud, arrogant, disrespectful, ungrateful, materialistic, unforgiving, without self-control and they are completely and totally addicted to entertainment. They believe that America will always be the greatest nation on earth just because of who we are, and they believe that the rest of the world should look up to us as a bright, shining example of everything that is good in the world. Meanwhile, we lead the world in a large number of negative categories and our society is decaying right in front of our eyes. It reminds me of what happened during the waning days of the Roman Empire. The Romans just assumed that Rome would always be dominant forever, and they became extremely complacent and extraordinarily decadent. We all know how that turned out, and at this point things are not looking good for America either. So where do we go from here? Well, it might help to ask ourselves a few questions as another year begins. The following are 25 why questions for you to ponder as we enter 2013 Why did the New York Times (the most read newspaper in the country) publish an article by a Georgetown University professor entitled Lets Give Up On The Constitution? What kind of message are they trying to send by publishing that trash? Why is the U.S. military sending troops to 35 different African nations in 2013? Can we really afford to be the police of the world? Why does California keep doing such stupid things? On January 1st, more than 800 new laws (most of them ridiculous) go into effect in the state. Why is so much U.S. real estate being bought up by China? Chinese citizens purchased one out of every ten homes that were sold in the state of California in 2011. Why is Texas Governor Rick Perry resurrecting the Trans-Texas Corridor project? Does he honestly believe that nobody will notice? Why is the mainstream media ignoring the fact that the percentage of Americans that are against a ban of handguns is at an all-time high? Why is the mainstream media ignoring a recent theater shooting that was stopped by a man with a gun? Why do celebrities that claim to be anti-gun constantly make movies that are absolutely brimming with gun violence? Why is genetically-modified rice that has human genes in it being grown in Kansas? Why is the Obama administration working so hard to force Christians to act against their faith? Why did the U.S. government ask the Mexican government to help them increase participation in the U.S. food stamp program? Why does the U.S. government have a website that teaches immigrants how to sign up for welfare programs once they arrive in the United States? If terrorists are the threat we are all supposed to be worried about, then why is the U.S. government spending gigantic mountains of money to watch and monitor Americans? Today, the American people are the most surveilled people in the history of the world. Why is this happening? What will our society eventually look like if we keep going down this path? Why is the mainstream media being so quiet about the giant sinkholes that are opening up all over the world? Why have volcanic activity andearthquake activity along the Ring of Fire increased so dramatically as we approach 2013? Why are Protestants losing political power so rapidly in America today? Why does the Obama administration seem so determined to reduce the size of the U.S. strategic nuclear arsenal? Why dont more Americans know about the population control agenda of the global elite? Why are so many workers claiming Social Security disability? Back in 1967, there were about 41 workers for every person on Social Security disability. Today, there are only about 16 workers for every person on Social Security disability. Why do 77,000 federal employees earn more money than the governors of their own states do? Why is Hillary Clinton the most admired woman in America? Why is Barack Obama the most admired man in America? Do you have any why questions to add to this list? If so, please feel free to post a comment with your suggestions below This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

2	This Girl Wanted A Picture With A Clydesdale. What Happened Next Was HILARIOUS Its a fact of life: little girls love horses. Every little girl wants a pony for her birthday, it seems. Its become a clich. This little girl got to visit NYC for the first time and got an up close and personal look at the famous Clydesdales that romp the streets. When she posed for a picture, the horse decided he wanted to make it a memorable one. He twisted his face at the camera right at the moment that the bulb flashed. What resulted was an awesome photobomb of a horse smiling right next to the little girl, who has no clue whats going on behind her. This got us thinking about the most awesome animal photobombs on the Internet, which we wanted to show you. Animals like to be photographed too. Either that, or they like messing with humans and their weird habits, like standing extra still and smiling at some strange little device. These animal photobombs make us crack up.

3	Hacker Weev Invoices Feds for Violence and Kidnapping, Payable in BitcoinBelow is ATT hacker Andrew Auernheimers (aka Weev or @rabite) Open letter to federal scum billing them 28,296 bitcoins for stealing his life for three years. Subject: An open letter to members of the New Jersey District Court, FBI, and DOJ consisting of an invoice for services rendered. To the Honorable Susan D. Wigenton, US Attorney Paul J. Fishman, Assistant US Attorney Zach Intrater, and FBI Special Agent Christian Schorle, Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them? Shakespeare It has long been one of the fundamental pillars of our system of law that when one commits a crime against another, they are made to give restitution to their victims. I have, over the course of 3 years, been made the victim of a criminal conspiracy by those in the federal government. This was a conspiracy of sedition and treason, perpetrated with violence by a limited number of federal agents to deprive me of my constitutional rights to a fair trial and unlawfully put me in prison. This is not a hallucination on my part. These claims were in fact verified by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals when they vacated the false judgement against me imposed by the court of Judge Susan D. Wigenton. Perhaps you havent read the opinion of the appeals court exposing all of you as liars and seditionists yet. If so, here you go: https://www.eff.org/files/2014/04/11/weev.pdf I then spent a swath of the next years struggling to find an attorney because the overworked federal defender I was given told me to plea to false charges because even if I was innocent there was no way Id win. I then struggled to get this attorney enough resources to fight the case while he was struggling to keep the lights in his office on. Going to trial two years later, the United States Attorneys and FBI repeatedly perjured themselves in order to wrongfully convict me. FBI Special Agent Phillip Frigm claimed that the manufactured evidence was secured by MD5 signatures. This was factually wrong and perjurously asserted as true under oath MD5 signatures do not work in the manner he implied. Assistant US Attorney Michael Martinez claimed that I committed a crime because my use of the Internet was not like going to ESPN and checking my favorite sports teams scores, and Assistant US Attorney Zach Intrater claimed that I had committed a crime because I automated web requests with a script. This, of course, ignores the fact that the vast majority of web requests are programmatic and automated total API requests and automated GET per year are approaching the quadrillions. Lie after lie after lie stacked up in open court on behalf of the agents of the government. If there was any integrity left in the justice system there would be special prosecutors appointed to charge you with the perjuries you committed. Orchestrating this circus was the judge, Susan D. Wigenton, who not only ignored my constitutional right to a trial in a reasonable location but blatantly allowed manufactured evidence and perjury on the part of FBI and DOJ employees in her courtroom. The rights I have enumerated in the Constitution (and, in some cases, even The Declaration) were violated with near completion. At sentencing, I made the following statement to Judge Wigenton: I dont come here today to ask for forgiveness. Im here to tell this court, if it has any foresight at all, that it should be thinking about what it can do to make amends to me for the harm and the violence that has been inflicted upon my life. It is time, now that the fraud and violence committed against me has been exposed by the appeals process, to begin making amends to me for the harm her court has done. My current market-determined hourly rate is 1 Bitcoin an hour. I was taken from my childhood home at gunpoint on January 18th, 2011, and I was not allowed to freely exercise my liberties as a citizen until April 11th, 2014. Thats 1179 days that you used my time that I am now billing you for (I gave you a discount by not including the last day). I am owed 28,296 Bitcoins. I do not accept United States dollars, as it is the preferred currency of criminal organizations such as the FBI, DOJ, ATF, and Federal Reserve and I do not assist criminal racketeering enterprises. Know that all this wealth will be directed towards a good and charitable cause. I am building a series of memorial groves for the greatest patriots of our generation: Timothy McVeigh, Andrew Stack, and Marvin Heemeyer. You see, In the Special Housing Unit, which is Bureau of Prisons codespeak for solitary confinement and torture, I had enough time to think about the current state of federal government. The federal government has declared war on We the People. I am but the latest casualty of the unjust and seditious war being waged against honest Americans and defenders of the Constitution. At Waco the FBI directed the murder of 76 men, women, and children. At Ruby Ridge the FBI murdered both a 14-year-old boy and a woman cradling her infant child. All federal agents are, in fact, murderous thugs and seditious terrorists. Sedition is the charge for crimes which undermine the Constitution with violence. I can assure you that violence was used against me, and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals has already verified that the case against me undermined the Constitution. 28,296 Bitcoins. This is my invoice. It will only come once. As government criminality continues to be exposed on a daily basis, there is an urgent question which our government must answer: by what civil and peaceful means can those of us harmed by government perjury, fraud, and violence be compensated for the losses we have experienced? My Bitcoin address: 1JTeYcsx37XTq5NRgjepAHDqaLHTZUL88a Now the governments answer, or lack of it, will be permanently preserved in the Bitcoin block chain as a matter of public record. PAY ME MY MONEY, YOU LYING SUBHUMAN GARBAGE. You also should resign from your posts, as youve shown yourselves to be collective disgraces to rule of law and enemies of the United States Constitution. Those of us who actually love this country should take your places. Follow Weev at Twitter and follow the creation of his hacktivist hedge fund TROLLC. 
3	Washington Is Driving The World To The Final WarPaul Craig Roberts Whether the desire for liberty exists in America remains to be seen. If Americans can overcome their gullibility, their lifelong brainwashing, their propensity to believe every lie that their government tells them, and if Americans can escape the Matrix in which they live, they can reestablish the morality, justice, peace, freedom, and liberty that their government has taken from them. It is not impossible for Americans to again stand with uplifted heads. They only have to recognize that their government is the enemy of truth, justice, human rights and life itself. Can mere ordinary Americans triumph over the evil that is their government without the aid of a superhero? If ideas are strong enough and Americans can comprehend them, good can prevail over the evil that is concentrated in Washington. What stands between the American people and their comprehension of evil is their gullibility. If good fails in its battle with Washingtons evil, our future is a boot stamping on the human face forever. A US senator from New Jersey, Robert Menendez, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told the Ecuadoran government that he would block the import of vegetables and flowers from Ecuador if Ecuador gives asylum to Edward Snowden. The cost to Ecuador would be one billion dollars in lost revenues. Menendezs statement Our government will not reward countries for bad behavioris ironic. It equates bad behavior with protecting a truth-teller and good behavior with betraying a truth-teller. Menendezs statement is also a lie. The US government only rewards bad behavior. The US government consistently rewards those who conspire against the elected governments of their own countries, setting them up as dictators when Washington overthrows the elected governments. Menendezs threat did not work, but the senator did succeed in delivering yet another humiliating blow to Washingtons prestige. The Ecuadoran President, Rafael Correa, beat Menendez to the punch and cancelled the trade pact with the US on the grounds that the pact was a threat to the sovereignty of Ecuador and to moral principles and was being used by Washington to blackmail Ecuador. Ecuador doesnt accept pressure or threats from anyone, added Communications Secretary Fernando Alvarado who then offered Washington foreign aid to provide human rights training to combat torture, illegal executions and attacks on peoples privacy. Washington, exposed with its hand in the cookie jar devouring the privacy of the entire world and prevented by its hubris from acknowledging its illegal behavior and apologizing, has so mishandled the Snowden affair that Washington has done far more damage to itself than occurred from Snowdens revelations. Washington has proven conclusively that it has no respect for anyones human rights, that it has no respect for any countrys sovereignty, that it has no respect for any moral principles, especially those it most often mouths, and that it relies on coercion and violence alone. The rest of the world now knows who its enemy is. Washingtons presstitutes, by helping Washington demonize Snowden, Glenn Greenwald, Manning, Assange, and Ecuador, have demonstrated to the world that the US media is devoid of integrity and that nothing it reports can be believed. The US print and TV media and NPR comprise a ministry of propaganda for Washingtons immoral agendas. On June 24, the Stasi States favorite whore, the Washington Post, denounced three times democratically-elected Rafael Correa as the autocratic leader of tiny, impoverished Ecuador, without realizing that the editorial not only demonstrated the Washington Posts lack of any ethics whatsoever but also showed the entire world that if tiny, impoverished Ecuador can stand up to Washingtons threats, so can the rest of the world. President Correa replied that the Washington Post managed to focus attention on Snowden and on the wicked countries that support him, making us forget the terrible things against the US people and the whole world that he denounced. Correa added that Washingtons world order isnt only unjust, its immoral. The reason Washington hates Correa has nothing to do with Snowden. That Ecuador is considering asylum for Snowden is just an excuse. Correa is hated, because in the second year of his first term he repudiated the $3 billion dollar foreign debt that corrupt and despotic prior regimes had been paid to contract with international finance. Correas default threat forced the international financial gangsters to write down the debt by 60 percent. Washington also hates Correa because he has been successful in reducing the high rates of poverty in Ecuador, thus building public support that makes if difficult for Washington to overthrow him from within. Yet another reason Washington hates Correa is because he took steps against the multinational oil companies exploitation of Ecuadors oil resources and limited the amount of offshore deposits in the countrys banks in order to block Washingtons ability to destabilize Ecuadors financial system. Washington also hates Correa for refusing to renew Washingtons lease of the air base in Manta. Essentially, Correa has fought to take control of Ecuadors government, media and national resources out of Washingtons hands and the hands of the small rich elite allied with Washington. It is a David vs. Goliath story. In other words, Correa, like Venezuelas Chavez, is the rare foreign leader who represents the interests of his own country instead of Washingtons interest. Washington uses the various corrupt NGOs and the puppet government in Colombia as weapons against Correa and the Ecuadoran government. Many believe that it is only a matter of time before Washington succeeds in assassinating Correa. American patriots, who feel that they should be on their governments side regardless of the facts, would do well to remember what true patriotism is. For Americans, patriotism has always meant allegiance to the Constitution, not to the government. The oath is to defend the Constitution against enemies domestic and foreign. The Bush and Obama regimes have proven themselves to be the Constitutions worst enemies. It is not possible for a true patriot to support a government that destroys the Constitution. The United States is the Constitution. Our country is not the Obama regime, the Bush regime, or some other administration. Our country is the Constitution. The Constitution is our country. Beyond obligations to ones own country, all humans have a responsibility to human life itself. Washingtons puppet states, such as the NATO countries, Japan, and Colombia, by providing cover and support for Washingtons aggression are enabling Washington to drive the world into World War III. The temptation of Washingtons money easily overwhelms weak characters such as Tony Blair and David Cameron. But the governments of NATO countries and other accommodating states are not only selling out their own peoples by supporting Washingtons wars of aggression, they are selling out humanity. Washingtons hubris and arrogance grow as Washington bumps off country after country. Sooner or later Russia and China, will realize that they themselves are targets and will draw firmer lines. Arrogance will prevent Washington from acknowledging the lines, and the final war will be launched. Washingtons hegemonic impulse is driving the world to destruction. The peoples of the world should realize this and force their governments to stop enabling Washingtons aggression.

2	Obama Rules That Requiring Employees To Speak English Is Discriminatory According to recent reports, the White House has recently decided to take up a lawsuit against a private company for their decision to require employees to speak fluent English. The case involved one Green Bay plastic and metal manufacturer who recently fired some Asian and Hispanic workers who could not speak our countrys native language. According to Obamas Employment Commission, the action was discriminatory, given that those skills were not needed to perform their jobs. Further, the administration claims that in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it became illegal to force employees to speak English. When speaking English fluently is not, in fact, required for the safe and effective performance of a job, nor for the successful operation of the employers business, requiring employees to be fluent in English usually constitutes employment discrimination on the basis of national origin and thus violates federal law, claims the attorney representing the government in the case. What do you think of lawsuit? Is it absolutely ridiculous? 
3	Television news, the stage playJon Rappoport Images sent over thousands of miles, well-lit anchors who seem alert to everything of importance taking place in our world, field reporters in far-flung places who pop up and respond instantly to the anchors and deliver close-up accounts of vital events. And the same important faces of government leaders who, day after day, are struggling to improve our destiny against great odds, against intransigent enemies of progress. All this is delivered to us in the space of a few minutes, each night, like clockwork. The fatuous wall-to-wall lies aside, the news presents that little show of magic which the people sorely need. The need never dies. Its eternal. Substitutes for the real thing are acceptable. The television anchors can be obvious oafs, hucksters, cheap con artists; it doesnt matter. They can twist the truth, burn it, hide it, step on it, reverse it; it doesnt matter. If the US government hires, supports, and arms terrorists, the news can claim the government is doing everything possible to fight against terrorismincluding the installation of a massive Surveillance State. The absurd contradictions are simply ignored. As long as television news gives viewers a small hit of magic, it stays in business. The magic is the stage play, the anchors and reporters are the actors, and the whole show, as it passes into eyes and ears, imparts a dreamlike quality. Once upon a time, the dream, the magic, the myth were the saddle, reins, and horse of a great personal adventure. But in this modern age, the news stands in as the (brain-addled) knight on his quest for truth and meaning. But for most people, that startling analysis was too much. A single human being staging his own reality? Impossible. The dream and the magic must come from somewhere else, from a place and personage stamped with an official authoritative imprimatur. There must be The Voice and it must be the news, and it must narrate (invent) the dream. When this happens on a daily basis, most viewers sink so far into the stage play they fully accept its parameters and remain enclosed. The space, time, and energy of the play form a continuum that is a prison. In this prison, viewers are content to take their magic from an external source. This is considered safe. This is considered proper. This is considered reasonable. Magic comes to be thought of as always and forever coming from a place that is definitely not-self. Thats the key. By extension, speak to people about lost civilizations, hidden archeology, visitors from spaceall of which are not-selfand they are eager for more of that magic. But talk to them about lost continents within the Self, the archeology of the subconscious, the alchemical force of imagination, the creative principle underlying knowledge, their own manufacture of realityand they tend to back away. They prefer Small Self to Large Self. Theyve chosen a humble role. Thats the front they want to show to the world. And society, government, and the news are more than happy to subjugate them to such a role. And thats how individual power is replaced and hidden. When I was a small boy, the stooge for official reality was one of the most respected men in America, Edward R Murrow. He seemed to be talking out of a dark vault. His somber tone, his serious intent, his moonscape rhythms offered doom, but always with a hint of light, because he knew Justice and, therefore, it might still prevail, if good men stepped forward and fought for it. I can still remember thinking, this is a show, its a good show, but its theater. I knew that, because in those days my friends and I played on fields of our own choosing, we were free, we made up our own rules and our own games, and we loved having that power. And then at night, I found my imagination by reading novels about sea voyages and trips to other planetsand soon enough I realized the news was a story about power being everywhere I wasnt. It was a losing proposition, from one end to the other. Fortunately, my other early education was conducted in a local pool room. People who were a lot smarter than I was taught me how to recognize a hustler. Official reality is a cosmic hustler.

1	The NBC action-comedy Chuck, familiar to millions of viewers from its long-running promo bumpers, does not actually exist, network executives admitted Friday. 'We had a very successful, very expensive promotional campaign, but to be honest, we never actually bothered making a pilot,' NBC spokesperson Grant Twombly said. 'I guess everybody just assumes everybody else is watching it, because advertisers have jumped on board, and DVD sales are somehow doing great.' A ratings analyst reached for comment confirmed that 'people can't get enough of that Chuck.' 
1	A new report compiled by the Institute for Advanced Studies stated Monday that, aw, you probably wouldn't be interested and who really cares to begin with. 'After careful analysis, our research indicates that it's not like any of it would matter to you people anyhow,' said Dr. David M. Klein, one of the principal authors of the report that was pretty much just a big old waste of everyone's time. When pressed by reporters for at least a hint of the Institute's findings, Klein stated, 'Well, it involves bosons, which, as it turns out, interact withsee, none of you are even listening anymore.' 
2	Trump Just Did For The Navy What No President In The Last 50 Years Has Done... This HUUUUGE According to recent reports, in response to President-elect Donald Trumps demand for more ships, the Navy is proposing the biggest shipbuilding project since the end of the Cold War. The Navys 255-ship proposal is even larger than what Trump had originally asked for on the campaign trail and provides a boost to shipyards that have struggled significantly because of budget caps. Whether Congress and the government can actually fund it, is a whole other ball game, Richard Nolan, president of Maines Bath Iron Works largest union, commented. To make the Navys lofty goal a reality would require an additional $5 billion to $5.5 billion in annual spending in the 30-year-projection. The request calls for another 47 ships to be added in Virginia, 16 large surface warships to be built in Maine and Mississippi, and 18 attack submarines to be built in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Virginia. There is no question that the increase would be good for national security, but it would also benefit sailors and the ships themselves. Russia and China are going to continue to build up their navies, Matthew Paxton, president of the Shipbuilders Council of America, told reporters. The complexities arent going to get any easier. The Navy, more than any of the services, is our forward presence. Were going to need this Navy. The key to the plan is finding a way to increase Navy shipbuilding to achieve defense and economic gains in a fiscally responsible way that does not pass the bill along to our children, Sen. Angus King of Maine, a member of the Armed Services Committee, told reporters. Some argue the plan isnt realistic unless the administration is willing to take the budget to levels weve never seen. But investors seem to be betting on more ships. What do you think? Do you support the Navys plan? 
1	Moments after losing 32-25 to the Cardinals in the NFC Championship Game, Eagles QB Donovan McNabb dedicated the game to Eagles fans everywhere, saying no fans in the country deserved it more. 'We have the most single-minded fans in the world, and I can't think of anyone else I'd rather wish this on than them,' McNabb said after settling down a locker room of screaming Philadelphia sportswriters. 'To have an entire city behind us this whole season, breathing down our necks, waiting silently and patiently through our triumphs until they get to the parts of the season they really love.... There's nothing like it. And it's not just this yearthey've been like this for the past decade. So what better way to pay them back than with a nerve-racking, soul-crushing near-comeback like this one? The fans of Philadelphia deserve it.' McNabb went on to wish the Cardinals luck and express his admiration for their fans, who, he observed, 'seem to be able to actually enjoy football.' 
1	After losing in the fourth round of the U.S. Open to Juan Martin del Potro, Andy Roddick officially retired from professional tennis Wednesday, walking away from the sport while at the peak of his competitors careers. Roddick, who spoke with reporters at Flushing Meadows following the defeat, confirmed that he owed it to fans to step down at the pinnacle of his rivals talent and physical ability, saying he felt honored and blessed to retire while an intense desire to win still burned deeply inside Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Andy Murray. To hang it up when those guys are still hitting on all cylinders and dominating opponentsI wouldnt want to go out any other way, said Roddick, who hasnt won a major since 2003. Theyre winning on their own terms, and thats how I wanted to end my tennis career. With them prevailing on the court in a commanding fashion. I always said I didnt want to be around if David Ferrer wasnt playing at the highest level possible, added Roddick, who was reportedly pleased that he could leave tennis with his competitors games intact. Appearing overwhelmed with emotion, Roddick tearfully admitted that he was very grateful for the opportunity to end his career on such a high note for the worlds greatest tennis players. Saying goodbye isnt easy, but Im proud and thankful that Im calling it quits at a time when Tomas Berdych, Juan Monaco, and Novak Djokovic are continuing to play at an elite level, said Roddick, who finished his career with just one Grand Slam victory. Thats the memory I want to leave behind. The best in the world being the best and me not being the best, Roddick continued. Roddick has long expressed concerns about playing until the tennis superstars were past their prime, claiming he felt it was best to retire before their skills had eroded. The 30-year-old was reportedly satisfied that he could go out with Djokovic still able to run across the court without any problems and Nadals devastating forehand showing no signs of decline. I never wanted to be around when Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Janko Tipsarevic, and John Isner were ravaged by injuries and couldnt keep up with the demands of professional tennis, Roddick said. I hoped to pack it in before they started playing mediocre and a guy like Andy Roddick could beat them. I dont want to see those guys get beat by someone like me, Roddick added. 
2	Trump Just Dropped A NUKE On The GOP Debate State Once again the GOP debate went after one clear target: Donald Trump. This is not surprising. Ever since the legendary businessman took the lead in the races, the GOP party and opposing candidates have been trying to take him down. His competition has tried to paint him as a joke, in hopes that doing so will help them surpass the frontrunner. Trump proved himself once again last night, taking the lead in just minutes. Trump started off strong when he pointed out that he has never accepted any money from special interest groups. In fact, he is fully funding his own campaign. Why? He doesnt want to be a puppet like Jeb Bush and the other candidates, he claims. With debts on their shoulders, Trump claims that the candidates will be forced to do whatever their funders ask of them. What do you think? Do you support Donald Trump? 
3	Government Funded Phone App Tracks Vaccine RefusersJeffry John Aufderheide The application is intended to be used by health professionals to report the location of the refusal, the vaccine refused, and patient demographics. The output of the data, which is supposedly anonymous and stored securely at the University of Iowa, provides a heat map of the refusals. Im going to show you how the government will likely use this information and it isnt pretty. Let me tell you more. Application is Government Funded To understand the importance of this particular application, we need to know how it is being funded and who is leading the research. This will give us a clue as to how the data will likely be used. The research for the phone application is led by Dr. Philip Polgreen, Director of Infectious Disease Society of Americas Emerging Infections Network. [2] Why is this significant? According to the IDSAs website, In 1995, the CDC [Centers for Disease Control] granted a Cooperative Agreement Program award to the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) to develop a provider-based emerging infections sentinel network: the Emerging Infections Network (IDSA EIN). [3] The projects main University of Iowa page clearly states the research is funded by the National Institutes of Health and by a contract from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. [4] Heres the important point Vaccine Refused Application is Technology Black Boxing This is your typical black boxing effort in developing tracking technology. By this I mean very simply, two separate technologies are being developed and will be combined to form a system at a later date. An analogy would be the designing of a car. The engine, steering, and breaking system are all developed separately but then combined in the manufacturing process to make a car. Much in the same way, an application tracking vaccine refusals may seem harmless on the surface. However, the Centers for Disease Control are collecting other data. In a recent article, I wrote about how the CDC collects information on who vaccinates their children and who does not. They also know how many children have opted out of being vaccinated. [5] If you didnt know, the Centers for Disease Control has been quietly rolling out a nationwide program called the Immunization Information Systems (IIS), registering your vaccine information (and if you refuse or not) into databases. [6] But what would happen if data from the phone application was combined or analyzed with vaccine registry information? The Correlation of Data Heres what you need to know. The government (along with corporations) collects, correlates, and tracks data about you. I highly recommend a very informational article written by Information Security expert Bruce Schneier. He writes, Governments are happy to use the data corporations collect occasionally demanding that they collect more and save it longer to spy on us. And corporations are happy to buy data from governments. Together the powerful spy on the powerless, and theyre not going to give up their positions of power, despite what the people want. [7] The CDCs Immunization Information System already tracks your vaccine refusals. If you recall from the last article, a small amount of the data collected included: the patients name, birth date, mothers name, home address and phone number, and vaccine provider. How easy would it be to correlate any refuser data and make a map out of it with home addresses? It seems the Vaccine Refused application can accomplish this task quiet easily. Researchers at the University of Iowa say the data collected by the application is secure and anonymous. You and I should know better; this could be changed with the stroke of the pen. Heck, the CDC is paying for the research. Are you sure there isnt a hidden agenda? Conclusion George Washington can be quoted as saying, Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. What happens if we take the intention of the Vaccine Refused phone application and Immunization Information System to its conclusion? Will these technologies be used to track you down and forcibly vaccinate you and your children? It sure seems that way to me.

3	Theres No Covering Up This One Visible Pollution Leaking from NY Nuclear PlantBy Matt Agorist The Coast Guard Auxiliary aircrew first noticed the sheen on Sunday. Shortly after, a boat crew from the Oswego station tested the sheen and a temporary safety zone was put in place. The Free Thought Project spoke to the Coast Guard Sector Buffalo Command Center on Tuesday and confirmed that the zone was still closed off, and there is no information as to when it will reopen. The oil sheen is said to be coming from the vent for the hydrogen seal system of the Fitzpatrick plant is in Scriba, New York, approximately 10 miles northeast of Oswego. According to the Democrat and Chronicle,Entergy Corporation, which operates the plant, found the source of the oil on the roof of a turbine building, said Neil Sheehan, a public affairs officer for the NRC. It appears about 20 to 30 gallons that leaked were then drained through the plants discharge drain system to the lake, said NRC public affairs officer Neil Sheehan.The company has placed oil-absorbent pads on the turbine building roof and has also stopped all circulating water pumps to eliminate any further discharges. Despite the miles-long spill coming from their nuclear power plant, Entergy is claiming that the sheen has not impacted the operation of the plant. Although the media spotlight is rarely shined upon Americas aging nuclear infrastructure, U.S. nuclear power plants are decaying rapidly, precipitating numerous nuclear environmental disasters across the country. To give you an idea of the scope of the crisis facing Americas aging nuclear infrastructure, a startling investigation by the Associated Press found radioactive tritium leaking from three-quarters of all commercial nuclear power sites in the United States. As The Free Thought Project reported last month, a major nuclear disaster is unfolding in Washington state at what is known as the Hanford nuclear site. There have been reports that the Hanford has been leaking massive amounts of radioactive material for over two weeks. Only a week after 19 workers were sent for medical evaluation after a waste tank they were moving was found to be leaking, 3 more workers have reportedly been injured at the site. The workers reportedly inhaled radioactive fumes the same issue facing the 19 previously hospitalized workers, according toreports, bringing the total number of workers injured at the site up to 22. On top of the Hanford disaster, in recent months, a fire at the Bridgeton Landfill is closing in on a nuclear waste dump, according to a Missouri emergency plan recently distributed by St. Louis County officials. The landfill fire has been burning for over five years, and they have been unable to contain it thus far. There are clouds of smoke that have been billowing from the site, making the air in parts of St. Louis heavily contaminated. In 2013, Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster sued Republic Services, the company responsible for the landfill, charging the company with neglecting the site and harming the local environment. Last year, city officials became concerned that the fire may reach the nearby Lake Landfill, which is littered with decades worth of nuclear waste from government projects and weapons manufacturing. Remnants from the Manhattan Project and the Cold War have been stuffed there for generations. The site has been under the control of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) since 1990, but they failed to make any significant effort to clean up the waste. In December of last year, the EPA announced that it would install a physical barrier in an effort to isolate the nuclear waste. But the timeline given by the EPA said it could take up to a year to complete. Residents arent comforted by that timetable, and think the government, despite years of warning, has done too little to stave off a possible environmental disaster. They are right. To add to the legitimacy of the residents worries about the governments timeline, the ground has yet to be broken, the fire is still smoldering, and the EPA just finalized, on Thursday, an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent (Settlement) requiring Bridgeton Landll, LLC to start work on the isolation barrier system at the West Lake Landll Superfund Site. Aside from the threat of the U.S. militarys decades-old nuclear waste erupting into flames in the near future, there are also two nuclear reactors inside the United States, which have been leaking for months. In Florida, a recent study commissioned by Miami-Dade County concluded that the areas four-decades-old nuclear power plants at Turkey Point are leaking polluted water into Biscayne Bay. This has raised alarm among county officials and environmentalists that the plant, which sits on the coastline, is polluting the bays surface waters and its fragile ecosystem, reports the NY Times. In the past two years, bay waters near the plant have had a large saltwater plume that is slowly moving toward wells several miles away that supply drinking water to millions of residents in Miami and the Florida Keys. Samples taken during the study show everything from the deadly radioactive isotope, tritium, to elevated levels of salt, ammonia, and phosphorous. So far, according to the scientists conducting the study, the levels of tritium are too low to harm people. However, in December, and January, the levels were far higher than they should be in nearby ocean water which is a telling sign of a much larger underlying problem. We now know exactly where the pollution is coming from, and we have a tracer that shows its in the national park, said Laura Reynolds. Reynolds is an environmental consultant who is working with the Tropical Audubon Society and the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, which intend to file the lawsuit, according to the Times. We are worried about the marine life there and the future of Biscayne Bay. Fifteen hundred miles north of the leaking reactors in Florida is the Indian Point nuclear power plant in New York. Since the beginning of this year, theres been an uncontrollable radioactive flow from the Indian Point nuclear power plant that continues leaking into groundwater, which leads to the Hudson River, raising the specter of a Fukushima-like disaster only 25 miles from New York City. The Indian Point nuclear plant is located on the Hudson River and serves the electrical needs of an estimated 2 million people. In January, 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. The tritium leak is the ninth in just the past year, four of which were severe 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. As the utility companies and government agencies continue to downplay the severity of these situations, the residents who live the closest to these spots are already feeling the effects. According to a recent report, Radiation and Public Health Project 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 time span. 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. While the U.S. war machine spends hundreds of billions of dollars per year waging war against humanity, Americans at home are dying from a crumbling nuclear infrastructure. The realization that multiple nuclear disasters are currently unfolding across the country, while the mainstream media remains silent, speaks to the fact that most media is owned by the same benefactors that have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.

While the U.S. war machine spends hundreds of billions of dollars per year waging war against humanity, Americans at home are dying from a crumbling nuclear infrastructure! This Leak is no more an issue nor an big problem, and I have anouf expirience from industry to tell you this, and I dont joke. Like PCB, 285 grams, not kilos nor tons, but grams was anouf to shot down an large part of an Norwegian fjord for years, and that comed from an building that was washed before painting, aka the old oil based paints had PCB in it. peace Comments by officials as to exposure dose stats are based on old paradigms; the updated viewpoint would increase the damage potential 100x to 1000x depending on the isotope in question, this means the danger is much greater. Also the barrier that is to be raised around the Missouri nuke dump is made of what? Gamma penetrates all substances even lead; it is only a partial deterrent not an absolute. Leaching substances still effect the water table even without the help of a fire which would generate an atmospheric contamination. Americans really need to wake up before ruling elite Zio-Terrorists annihilate mankind. More waste of taxpayer money and more environmental impacts. Oh no! 30 gallons of oil has leaked! The world is ending! More people died riding with Ted Kennedy in1969 at Chappaquiddick than have died from nuclear power accidents in the USA. Lets do everything we can shall we, not to start an international incident? The waters of Lake Ontario are a shared resource with the North half of the continent. It is best to play by the rules and protect internationally shared resources! Playing by the rules can cause far more harm when the rulers are corrupt use your head, dont blindly obey.

2	BREAKING: Legendary Rocker Kills Himself... Fans Stunned Last Friday, fans were devastated when it was announced that keyboardist Keith Emerson, co-founder of the rock group Emerson, Lake and Palmer was discovered dead by his longtime partner. Now, they have been hit with some even more tragic news. According to reports, Los Angeles coroners spokesman Ed Winter has just ruled that the 71-year-old rocker took his own life by shooting himself in the head. The autopsy also revealed signs of a heart condition. Emerson, drummer Carl Palmer and vocalist/guitarist Greg Lake were megastars of progressive rock in the 1970s. They recorded six platinum-selling albums. Emerson was a true talent and he will be missed by many. Please keep his friends and family in your prayers. 
3	US Backing Saudi-Led War Crimes Against Civilians In YemenBy Claire Bernish Late Tuesday, Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook announced the U.S. had bombed an al-Qaeda affiliate groups training camp, killing dozens of people, the Guardian reported. Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) reportedly operated the mountain camp, used by more than 70 AQAP terrorists, Cook described. We continue to assess the results of the operation, but our initial assessment is that dozens of AQAP fighters have been removed from the battlefield, he euphemized. This strike deals a blow to AQAPs ability to use Yemen as a base for attacks that threaten U.S. persons, and it demonstrates our commitment to defeating al-Qaeda and denying it safe haven. Cook added, The planes struck as al-Qaeda people stood in line to receive their dinner. A previous airstrike, carried out by Saudi-led forces on March 15, decimated a marketplace in Mastaba in northern Yemen. As The Intercept noted, that strike occurred around noon, local time, when area residents typically congregated there the only marketplace in the entire district to purchase food and goods. In the aftermath, at least 120 people had been killed families could barely identify their dead, an eyewitness wrote. The carnage caused by two airstrikes on the Al Khamees market was one of the deadliest incidents since the start of the conflict a year ago, said Zeid Raad Al Hussein, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, reported the Independent. The people of Yemen have suffered enough. A very poor country is having its limited infrastructure decimated, and people are struggling desperately to survive. He added, Looking at the figures, it would seem that the coalition is responsible for twice as many civilian casualties as all other forces put together, virtually all as a result of airstrikes. Though the U.S. tries to maintain the appearance of distance from the Saudi coalitions activities in Yemen, its continued support by way of arms, refueling of jets, and intelligence belies the extent of its involvement. Robert Malley, a top White House official in charge of Middle East policy, was even reported by The New York Times on March 13 as saying the conflict in Yemen is not our war. But the mounting number of dead in mass-casualty incidents have led analysts to suspect U.S. policy in Yemen might have quietly changed from the practice of targeted killings to more conventional warfare, according to the Guardian. This strike was conducted consistent with the policy for counter-terrorism direct action announced by the President in May 2013, claimed Pentagon spokesman Major Ben Sakrisson, in an attempt to deny such a shift. The Intercept provided a brief summary about the bombing campaign taking place in Yemen: The Saudi coalition consists of nine Arab states that have joined forces against Houthi rebels who have taken over large parts of Yemen. While U.S. fighter jets are not involved in the bombing campaign, the U.S. is providing intelligence and other forms of assistance, including weapons sales and aerial refueling of the Arab jets. After the latest attack, a top United Nations official, Zeid Raad Al Hussein, the high commissioner for human rights, said the coalition might be committing war crimes. While the horrific terrorist attacks against civilians in Europe receive extra media coverage, the U.S.-supported bombings of civilians in Yemen get scant attention. An ongoing contradictory theme in Western mainstream media often appears to arbitrarily reduce the existential value of innocent human life in Middle Eastern and African countries, as it simultaneously beseeches the world to mourn when Europeans are killed in terror attacks. But the Western-led coalition simply fuels the fires of terrorism as it drops bombs on civilian marketplaces ignoring its own role in worsening such issues.

Labor force participation is lower than ever, sitting at 62%. 51.4% of workers are making less than $30,000 a year. Median income has dropped by $1600, or 3%, since Obama has taken over the presidency. There is no way to spin this in a way that looks good for Obama. He has failed our country.

1	Citing troubling statistics revealing that the vast majority of Americans are not receiving all rock all the time, U.S. Disc Jockey General Rich The Wolf Haskel urged citizens nationwide Tuesday to get the Led out. The 43-year-old baritone government official, whose press conference was punctuated at several points by enthusiastic listener call-ins, stressed the importance of listening to Led Zeppelin every Power Play Weekday, and called on all Americans to crank up the classic rock at work, at home, or in the car. This is The Wolf coming at you live with an important announcement, said the Disc Jockey General, beginning his remarks as the closing strains of Starships We Built This City faded out behind him. According to the latest Oz 106 listener survey, a shocking nine out of every 10 U.S. citizens are not receiving their daily dose of Zeppelin, with many going weeks at a time without being properly rocked by immortal tunes such as Whole Lotta Love and Ramble On. Thats why were recommending all men, women, and children age 12 and older get at least one nonstop rock block every day featuring classic tracks from Houses Of The Holy or Led Zeppelin IV, Haskel continued. Its important that all Americans receive more rock and less talk immediately. The Disc Jockey General then reportedly uttered his signature phrase Rock it to me! before pressing a button on his podium triggering a loud air horn sound effect. While Haskel encouraged Americans to get the Led out by tuning in to Quittin Time Classics each Friday for all the greatest bands from A to Zep, he also noted that citizens could simply call in during the All-Request Electric Lunch, which serves up all your favorite hard-rock hits to get you through your workday. While most people may want to ease in with a classic like Stairway, we recommend steadily increasing your dosage of Zeppelin over time to deep cuts, B-sides, and any extended live material from the The Song Remains The Same, said Haskel, who noted aloud at numerous points throughout his address that the assembled press corps was listening to The Wolf. And we cannot stress enough how important it is that all Americans receive crucial double shots of Page, Plant, Bonham, and Jones every Twofer Tuesday. Oh, yeah! The Wolf, a longtime advocate of 50 minutes of music every hour, was appointed by President Obama to the highest post of the U.S. Disc Jockey Commissioned Corps in 2009. After surviving a tense Senate confirmation hearing that was nearly derailed by his controversial opposition to the three-minute radio-edit version of Fool In The Raina position that stood in sharp contrast to the policy of the previous Disc Jockey Generalthe nations leading classic rock official has made monster riffs a top priority during his tenure in office and has been an outspoken supporter of the greatest hits from the 60s straight through to today. In addition to imploring the nation to get the Led out Tuesday, The Wolf also called for more Stones, more Doors, and more Floyd, noting that there was nothing light about this rock. Emphasizing the need for Americans to keep their radio locked in on their home for the best classic rock variety, Haskel also reminded the nation to take a Slow Ride on down to Bennys Bar and Grill this Saturday, where citizens could meet Foghats own Roger Earl and have a chance to take home a 2013 Harley Davidson Forty-Eight. Aides confirmed the event would include free bumper stickers as well as balloons for the kids, all aimed at raising awareness of rock and roll for people who are serious about rock and roll. The latest research clearly shows how important it is that every American receive more music and hits that just keep on coming, especially during the crucial weekday drive time, said Haskel, citing a recent comprehensive report by noted rock authorities Bernie and Gooch in the Morning. And as the nations Disc Jockey General, I vow to continue working to ensure that every citizen of this country gets the best commercial-free rock around the clock. And now heres Pete with traffic and weather together, Haskel added before stepping down from the lectern. The Office of the U.S. Disc Jockey General has set up a toll-free number (866-555-Z106) for those seeking more information on getting the Led out, with the 15th caller receiving free tickets to see Robert Plant live at the Palladium on June 20. 
1	Upon arriving on the scene of a possible raccoon fatality, brothers Jason Everson, 11, and Tyler Everson, 9, were able to positively confirm the small rodent's demise by carefully prodding the lifeless creature several times with a stick, sources reported Tuesday. The Eversons resorted to the highly reliable jabbing test only after a thorough tossing of rocks and an empty soda can at the small mammal yielded no reaction. 'We threw stuff at it and then ran away,' Jason Everson said of their preliminary investigation. 'But we couldn't tell if the stone moved it, or if it was one of those animals that played dead and then bites you.' Once they had obtained conclusive proof that the raccoon was deceased, both of the brothers on the scene reportedly wished it was still alive. 
1	Following unforeseen complications during a trial of the companys new cholesterol medication Lipodrin, researchers at pharmaceutical manufacturer Pfizer said they were forced to put down another batch of test patients out of mercy Friday. Initially the results were very promising, but after a third of our patients showed troubling side effects we had to make the difficult decision to terminate the subject groupat that point, it was the only humane thing to do, said lead researcher Richard Dunn, confirming that this was the second test group in a week that had to be eliminated, following a group of 30 arthritis sufferers who had responded poorly to a new 300 mg formulation of Celebrex. This is often an unfortunate part of the development stage, but I can assure you that not all is lost; with what weve been able to learn from this now-deceased cohort, were almost certain to earn FDA approval after the next series of trials. Dunn further expressed his dismay that, since there was no longer anything to compare them against, the members of the studys control group would also need to be euthanized.

2	Students Face Expulsion For Refusing To Take Down Military And American Flag... They Need Your Support [VIDEO] According to recent reports, two San Diego State University students are facing expulsion after refusing to remove the American flag and other military flags hanging on their balcony. The students claim that they are within their right do so. SDSU argues, however, that the flags pose a safety issue. Were just being proud of what were affiliated with, Cameron Box, an active duty Coast Guard member said. Theyre trying to say its a fire hazard, but it just doesnt make much sense. SDSU insists that their living agreement states the rules plain and simple: No items except patio furniture designed for outdoor use, may be place on balconies and patios. Hangings, partitions, or curtains of any type may not be used on balconies or patios. Connor Fenwick, Boxs roommate and an aspiring U.S. Army officer, agrees that the two are being targeted. I dont know anyone who wouldnt say a flag is not designed for outdoor use, Fenwick claims. Why cant we have our First Amendment rights? Now, the two students have received a letter threatening expulsion from the university. I certainly defend the students right to express themselves and their patriotism, David Loy, legal direction for the ACLU in San Diego told reporters. But they probably need to find another way to do it. What do you think? Is it wrong for the school to punish these boys for their patriotism, or are they within their bounds? 
2	Actor Kurt Russell Says He Wants Obama Out Of The White House IMMEDIATELY Actor Kurt Russell took a huge stand against Obama on gun control. He claims that it is ridiculous to think that gun control would stop terrorism. If you think gun control is going to change the terrorists point of view, I think youre, like, out of your mind, he began. I think anybody [who says that] is. I think its absolutely insane. Dude, youre about to find out what Im gonna do, and thats gonna worry you a lot more, the actor continued. And thats what we need. That will change the concept of gun culture, as you call it, to something [like] reality. Which is, if Im a hockey team and Ive got some guy bearing down on me as a goal tender, Im not concerned about what hes gonna do Im gonna make him concerned about what Im gonna do to stop him. Thats when things change. Russell knows exactly what hes talking about. We support him 100%. Do you agree that gun control is not the solution to terrorism? 
2	HAPPENING NOW: Obama Caught Committing Treason In Leaked Doc... Impeachment Imminent If you arent convinced that President Obama is blatantly ignoring facts and putting our country in danger, this will seal the deal. According to recent reports, Obama is facing impeachment this week after Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, just released a very revealing document. Putting his own future and career at stake, Flynn decided to come forward with information that he gave Obama specific warning about ISIS as far back as 2012. Rather than taking action, the President blatantly ignored him, and now were paying that price. You heard that right. Obama was reportedly so intent on pushing his own agenda that he was willing to risk the lives of thousands of Americans. What do you think? Will this get Obama impeached once and for all? 
2	VIDEO: Michelle Obama Takes Aggressive Action Against A Photographer Recently, the First Lady was caught in a shocking not-so-lady-like moment. A recent video reveals a photographer witnessing Michelles wrath as she power-walked with her friends on Marthas Vineyard last weekend. The video shows a member of the press approaching Michelle, and being confronted by a female Secret Service agent. Come on, really? the Agen says to the cameraman. Sir, shes having a private moment right now. The agent proceeds to attempt to block the photographer, while Michelle can be seen mouthing dont do that! and then running away. Now, the photographers publication, Vocatiy, is speaking out against the First Lady and her staff for their aggressive behavior. Its hardly controversial to say that the president and his family deserve some privacyeveryone does, a representative told The Blaze. But there is, of course, a heated debate around the administrations relationship with the news media and their tightly scripted control of images, which the New York Times has called Orwellian. What do you think? Do the Obamas need to stop interfering with reporting or was the photographer in the wrong? 
2	Atheists Reveal New Plan To Fight Christianity Through Television American Atheists recently announced plans to launch a secular TV network, similar to the faith-based television initiatives that have been around for decades. David Silverman, president of American Atheists, recently told TheBlaze that Atheist TV will premier this summer. At its start its going to be mostly non-original programming created by [atheist organizations], Silverman claimed, Were going to have movies that have been produced by Richard Dawkins. Were going to be adding in bloggers and local showsand were going to have bloggers from all over the world that will be adding blogging content. The network will offer its content free of-charge, delivering the show through the streaming video service Roku. American Atheists, the secular activist organization that has been around for more than 50 years, will likely play a major role in the TV programming. Silverman believes the launch is an important step toward atheist normalization. This is about being where were not, he said, Were not on television. Theres lots of Christian programmingbut there was nothing for atheists. Silverman claims that the movement cant be normal if there are places in society where nonbelievers dont have a presence. Silverman claims that thus far, the reaction to announcements has been overwhelmingly positive. What do you think of this new network? 
1	In what has become a summer ritual for thousands of New York City theatergoers, the Independent Soderbergh Company will return to Central Park's Delacorte Theater this month to stage another free production of one of the Great Bergh's famed works. Coming off the success of last summer's open-air performance of the crowd-friendly Erin Brockovich, the ISC has gone with an admittedly unorthodox choice this year, deciding on Steven Soderbergh's 21st-century comedy Ocean's Twelve. Although it is widely considered one of Soderbergh's minor works, ISC creative director Kara Fletcher defended the selection, claiming that there is something to be learned from all of Soderbergh's pieces. 'The mission of Soderbergh in the Park has always been to bring Soderbergh to the masses,' Fletcher said. 'And that includes even his more inaccessible material. Those who are skeptical will be pleased to find that many of the traditional Soderberghian themes are present in Ocean's Twelve: anger, betrayal, despair, the travails of cool wealthy people who plan crime capers, and brotherhood.' The ISC's production of Ocean's Twelve, which opens tonight and runs through Aug. 28, stars Patrick Stewart as the suave Danny Ocean and Kevin Kline as his main cohort, Rusty. Claire Danes, who portrayed Erin Brockovich last year, returns to the outdoor stage as Danny's wife, Tess. The remainder of the cast will be rounded out by more than 100 New York theater regulars and nearly 150 extras, as well as Casey Affleck, who will reprise the role he played in the original production. According to Kline, even the most seasoned Soderberghian actors were nervous about tackling Ocean's Twelve. 'Soderbergh is never easy,' Kline said. 'I remember when I first saw Ocean's Twelve. I didn't get why the jokes were funny, it was way too long, and the plot was so incomprehensible that I nearly walked out of the theater.' 'But since then, I have come to appreciate the scope of the piece,' he added. 'Though I admit that even after extensive study, the ending still remains a mystery to me.' The play also presents a challenge for director Steven Todd and set designer Molly Durang, as the script calls for quick scene changes that are both out of chronological order and set in multiple exotic locations, including Monaco, Paris, Rome, Chicago, and Los Angeles. In addition, Todd promised that the house-lifting sequencein which the characters lift a mansion two inches off the ground by inserting compressed air into the foundation via a submarinewill remain true to the original. 'I am also happy to report that our props department has created a perfectly detailed hologram of a golden egg,' Durang said. Debuting with a free showing of Sex, Lies, And Videotape in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park in 1997, Soderbergh in the Park has since become an American institution. This summer alone will see nine classic works of Soderbergh produced at more than 200 outdoor theaters across the nation, as an estimated 3 million theatergoers lay out blankets, sip some wine, and watch Full Frontal, Out Of Sight, and The Good German under the stars. 'For many people, the park is where they are first exposed to Soderbergh,' Fletcher said. 'The outdoor setting fosters a more accommodating atmosphere for those who, under more traditional circumstances, are unwilling to give Soderbergh a chance.' At press time, hundreds of people had already formed a line to receive their free tickets for tonight's show, including many high school and junior high students who will be studying Soderbergh in the upcoming academic year. 'I've started a few Soderbergh movies, but I can never get through them,' 16-year-old Jennifer Martin said. 'The dialogue is hard to understand, and the stories are confusing. But I came out to the park last year and saw Solaris, and maybe it was the trees, the feeling of the summer breeze, or that they actually launched multiple women into space, but I thought it was pretty cool.' Added Martin: 'Nathan Lane was great.' 
1	A steady stream of devoted evolutionists continued to gather in this small Tennessee town today to witness what many believe is an image of Charles Darwinauthor of The Origin Of Species and founder of the modern evolutionary movementmade manifest on a concrete wall in downtown Dayton. 'I brought my baby to touch the wall, so that the power of Darwin can purify her genetic makeup of undesirable inherited traits,' said Darlene Freiberg, one among a growing crowd assembled here to see the mysterious stain, which appeared last Monday on one side of the Rhea County Courthouse. The building was also the location of the famed 'Scopes Monkey Trial' and is widely considered one of Darwinism's holiest sites. 'Forgive me, O Charles, for ever doubting your Divine Evolution. After seeing this miracle of limestone pigmentation with my own eyes, my faith in empirical reasoning will never again be tested.' Added Freiberg, 'Behold the power and glory of the scientific method!' Since witnesses first reported the unexplained markingwhich appears to resemble a 19th-century male figure with a high forehead and large beardthis normally quiet town has become a hotbed of biological zealotry. Thousands of pilgrims from as far away as Berkeley's paleoanthropology department have flocked to the site to lay wreaths of flowers, light devotional candles, read aloud from Darwin's works, and otherwise pay homage to the mysterious blue-green stain. Capitalizing on the influx of empirical believers, street vendors have sprung up across Dayton, selling evolutionary relics and artwork to the thousands of pilgrims waiting to catch a glimpse of the image. Available for sale are everything from small wooden shards alleged to be fragments of the 'One True Beagle'the research vessel on which Darwin made his legendary voyage to the Galapagos Islandsto lecture notes purportedly touched by English evolutionist Alfred Russel Wallace. 'I have never felt closer to Darwin's ideas,' said zoologist Fred Granger, who waited in line for 16 hours to view the stain. 'May his name be praised and his theories on natural selection echo in all the halls of naturalistic observation forever.' Despite the enthusiasm the so-called 'Darwin Smudge' has generated among the evolutionary faithful, disagreement remains as to its origin. Some believe the image is actually closer to the visage of Stephen Jay Gould, longtime columnist for Natural History magazine and originator of the theory of punctuated equilibrium, and is therefore proof of rapid cladogenesis. A smaller minority contend it is the face of Carl Sagan, and should be viewed as a warning to those nonbelievers who have not yet seen his hit PBS series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage. Still others have attempted to discredit the miracle entirely, claiming that there are several alternate explanations for the appearance of the unexplained discoloration. 'It's a stain on a wall, and nothing more,' said the Rev. Clement McCoy, a professor at Oral Roberts University and prominent opponent of evolutionary theory. 'Anything else is the delusional fantasy of a fanatical evolutionist mindset that sees only what it wishes to see in the hopes of validating a baseless, illogical belief system. I only hope these heretics see the error of their ways before our Most Powerful God smites them all in His vengeance.' But those who have made the long journey to Dayton remain steadfast in their belief that natural selectiona process by which certain genes are favored over others less conducive to survivalis the one and only creator of life as we know it. This stain, they claim, is the proof they have been waiting for. 'To those who would deny that genetic drift is responsible for a branching evolutionary tree of increasing biodiversity amid changing ecosystems, we say, 'Look upon the face of Darwin!'' said Jeanette Cosgrove, who, along with members of her microbiology class, has maintained a candlelight vigil at the site for the past 72 hours. 'Over millions of successive generations, a specific subvariant of one species of slime mold adapted to this particular concrete wall, in order to one day form this stain, and thus make manifest this vision of Darwin's glorious countenance,' Cosgrove said, overcome with emotion. 'It's a miracle,' she added. 
3	Its Police Appreciation Week Here are 8 Cops Who Risked Their Jobs and Lives to Expose CorruptionBy Claire Bernish Whistleblower cops need all of our support if we ever hope to solve rampant issues now inundating life in Police State, USA and what better time to revisit eight of them than Police Appreciation Week. Former Wilmington Police Sergeant Curt Stansbury came forward in 2014 when his departments morale seemed to be at an all-time low, in an attempt to suggest solutions. Stansbury explained, In June of 2014 I told the chief that moral [sic] was the lowest that I have seen in 25 years and that officers were doing the minimal and a lot of in fighting was going on. I told him that rookies were being hazed and pressured to quit. I informed him that divisions were not communicating with each other and that the communication was at an all-time low and that is cause of some of the violent crime issues. Not surprisingly, after calling out the problems, Stansbury was fired. Shortly after this, I was told that the chief had made it open season on me and wanted to discredit me. He wanted to prevent me from going public and having creditability [sic]. After this, my work life became tremendously stressful, Stansbury wrote in a letter to local media outlets following his termination. Repercussions, up to and including the loss of a job, are unfortunately common for whistleblowing officers. Retired Philadelphia Police Captain Ray Lewis has become well known in activist circles for standing against the dark turn toward violence and corruption by departments nationwide in recent years. During the Occupy protests, Lewis appeared, in full uniform, denouncing what amounts to the corporate takeover of policing in America. Its an oppressive organization now controlled by the one percent of corporate America, Lewis asserted. Corporate America is using police forces as their mercenaries. Lewis has also appeared at demonstrations and protests around the country, including in Ferguson, Missouri, following the police shooting death of Michael Brown, where he stated, Number one, I want to give the residents of Ferguson the knowledge that there are some police that do support them. I want to try and get a message to mainstream America that this system is corrupt, that police really are oppressing not only the black community, but also the whites. Lewis tirelessly delivers his message to a public that often blindly believes police can do no wrong, simply because they sport a badge. Former Dallas Police Department rookie officer Shanna Lopez was terminated from her new job in 2006 after coming forward to superiors about coworker and 26-year veteran officer, David Kattner who had been severely mistreating and otherwise unjustly targeting prostitutes while on the job. Lopez claimed Kattner and two other officers would write bogus tickets to harass prostitutes and would keep their victims names and addresses in a log. Kattners intimidation, harassment, and bogus ticket-writing scheme so bothered Lopez, she came forward with the allegations. Despite her stellar record including a commendation Lopez was abruptly terminated. Despite her best efforts to alert superiors to her deviant and vicious colleague, nine years after Lopez was terminated, Kattner was arrested for sexually assaulting a woman, while he was in uniform and using his patrol car. That victim could have been spared a horrible ordeal if Lopez superiors would have listened years before instead of terminating her as if she had been the one doing wrong. Former Buffalo Police Officer Cariol Horne stands as an example of what it actually takes to be fired as a cop all it takes, as she and others have unfortunately discovered, is doing the right thing. Horne had 19 years on the job when she witnessed fellow Officer Gregory Kwiatkowski punch a handcuffed suspect at the scene of a domestic dispute the two were investigating. Horne and other officers removed the suspect from the scene, but Kwiatkowski then proceeded to choke the handcuffed man. When Horne stepped between the out-of-control officer and the suspect, she too received a blow to the face from Kwiatkowski for which she rightly tried to defend herself. Ultimately, despite her best efforts to step in for the benefit of someone else against an irate officer, Horne was terminated for striking Kwiatkowski, who denied the entire incident had happened as she described. As to be expected, Kwiatkowskis violent tendencies eventually led to his termination but the subsequent violent incidents could have been avoided if Hornes supervisors would have simply listened to her complaints. Former Los Angeles Police Officer Alex Salazar developed Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder following a violent incident while he was on the job. Since retiring from the force, he has worked tirelessly to bridge the disconnect between law enforcement and civilians they serve but also to reveal how use of force policy and the culture of fear in policing has led to many of the incidents of police violence that make headlines. The profession of law enforcement is difficult at times, Salazar told The Free Thought Project previously, but the excessive brainwashing on a daily basis taking place, that you may die, is too extreme and gives many the belief it is OK to use deadly force. In many of these situations, Tamir Rice or Andy Lopez comes to mind, these officers just wanted to plain shoot and kill. Salazar previously participated in a delegation in Washington, D.C. as part of the National Coalition of Law Enforcement Officers for Justice, Reform, and Accountability to appeal to lawmakers to help end the violent system that encourages abuse by police. He now works as a private investigator in Los Angeles and still works to reform American policing in short, he hasnt stopped blowing the whistle on a system in desperate need of reform. Former Baltimore Police Det. Joe Crystal blew the whistle on two fellow officers after he witnessed them beat a handcuffed man, breaking his ankle. Crystal testified against the two, which ultimately secured their convictions but he suffered for the decision to speak out. Dead rodents were placed on his windshield and in his locker, and was repeatedly harassed, ostracized, and denied promotions simply for telling the truth. Crystal ultimately succumbed to the Thin Blue Lines intimidation and resigned from his position. The community started a petition following his resignation to attempt to have Crystal reinstated particularly since his actions evidenced integrity often rare in modern policing. I would love the chance to help the people of Baltimore, Crystal told The Free Thought Project of the petition. New Jersey Police Officer Roberta Tasca lost her job after stopping two coworkers from assaulting Kyle Sharpe, whom they had been called to assist. According to Tasca, the pair tasked with aiding the emotionally disturbed son of a former Bogota, New Jersey, city council member, instead tackled the man, punched him in the head and even threatened his father. In that moment, recalled Tara, Sharpes mother and the former council member, my son was jumped and punched, had [Tasca] not been there to protect him, I can say with certainty things wouldve turned out quite differently. After being fired, Tasca told a local news station, Being fired means I did something wrong. I know I didnt. I protected that kid. I did what Im supposed to do. Evidencing her justifiable decision to step in on Sharpes behalf, Tasca eventually won back her job. New Albany Police Officer Laura Schook was unsurprisingly fired for calling out rampant corruption in the force including padded overtime and discrimination by her fellow officers. In her situation, Schooks supervisors had also participated in that corruption. My supervisors [were] padding their overtime, stealing time from the city, also doing other jobs while they were at work, essentially being paid for two jobs at one time, Schook explained in an interview. Both the police chief and assistant chief asked to be reassigned within the force, stepping down from their supervisory roles, following Schooks allegations. But Schook was actually fired for bringing their corruption to light despite the indicative request by her superiors to step down. I believe that it corroborates what I said, Schook told WDRB. There has to be some truth to what I said or they wouldnt be scrambling around like they are. Schooks attorney agreed, saying, She is being disciplined for bringing those allegations to light. Whistleblowers face backlash for doing the right thing and standing up for justice against the powers-that-be but perhaps none so much as those daring to stand against the Thin Blue Line. During Police Appreciation Week, police whistleblowers everywhere deserve our support. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. 
2	Donald Trump Releases Shocking Statement About The View, This Could Get Them Cancelled Dr. Ben Carson got into a heated debate with host Whoopi Goldberg on a recent interview on the view. Goldberg could not seem to understand why Carson would endorse a racist like Trump. You have aligned yourself with the man who has bashed women, made countless racist remarksyoure Ben Carson, why would you align yourself with that? Whoopi asked toward the beginning of the interview. Well, you know, you have to look at the good and the bad, Carson responded. There is no perfect person. But you look at when Donald Trump first went down to the Palm Beach area, a lot of the [golf] clubs down there would not accepted Jews and blacks, Carson continued. He insisted on Jews and blacks and helped to break that open. The interview only escalated from there, with Whoopi even comparing Trump to Hitler. Trump was quick to respond to the attack on Twitter, demanding to know how these women even got their jobs. Watch the full interview below and tell us what you think. 
3	4 Extremely Simple Ways to Destress QuicklyElizabeth Renter Weve all seen those people who dont seem to have any care in the world as the world crumbles around them. Those that can go through a hectic week without breaking a sweat. Those people are who we should all strive to model. Not only are they happierbut they should be healthier! Here are some tips on how you can get started on your own stress-free longevity plan: Sounds simple enough, right? But many of us forget to breathe deeply. When you are tense, you take shorter and shallower breaths. But by taking a few minutes to inhale deeply and exhale fully, you release the tension you are holding in your chest and shoulders. Not only that, you are delivering some much-needed oxygen throughout your body oxygen that can further help alleviate your stress levels. This technique is often brushed away, but it is very important. If youre working on a specific project that is causing you to slowly lose your cool, walk away. Focusing on something else for a while can give you perspective. Sometimes we allow ourselves to be completely absorbed by something, and we ultimately begin putting way too many emotions into it. If something is stressing you out, do your best to forget about it for a while, and if it needs your attention, come back to it later with a clear head. On a side note, if the project absolutely needs your attention until completion, try and relax and take a break from some less important obligation currently in your life. Humans are social animals; we depend on one another (even the most independent of us all). So despite wanting to hide away from the world when you are stressed, getting out and socializing could be a great stress-buster. Whether you call a friend or go out dancing, being in contact with other people can lighten your load. Be careful not to be a whiner hereif you need to vent, go ahead, but dwelling on the issues will only make your stress-levels worse. Additionally, surrounding yourself with positive, uplifting people will help the most. Possibly one of the most beneficial ways to destress, exercise is an amazing stress-buster. When you increase your heart rate, your body creates numerous feel good hormones such as dopamine. In fact, exercise, is one of the best things you can do to increase dopamine levels and feel good. Also, the increased oxygen to muscle tissues can reduce physical tension. Go for a quick run, a bike ride, or even a quick walk around the neighborhood. The human body is designed to effectively manage physical and mental stress. When encountered with famines, wars, and disease, we prove to be a pretty resilient species. So, take good care of your body and it will take good care of you. For more ways to destress, check out our other article revealing how to destress with 8 extremely useful techniques.

3	Whats the deal with the TPP?By Jeb Kicker One of the largest areas of contention with the TPP lie within the provisions strengthening copyright rules. Here are some of the most dangerous provisions: The criminalization of the misuse of trade secrets Under current U.S. law, trade secret misappropriation is only a criminal offense when harm is done to the owner or the action benefits someone else. No longer. Any unauthorized access to trade secrets on a computer system is illegal, even when no copy or disclosure is made, and even when the access neither harms nor benefits anyone. As a deeper concern, there are no safeguards included for the protection of investigative journalists, security researchers or whistleblowers, potentially criminalizing anyone who obtains access to secret information online. ISP / Content Provider Liability According to a leaked February 2011draft, Article 16 of the Intellectual Property chapter insists that signatory nations provide legal incentives for internet service and content providers to police copyright infringement themselves, pushing the financial and administrative burden of copyright enforcement onto the ISPs and intermediaries. Put simply, this provision forces ISPs (Comcast, Verizon, SuddenLink) and content providers (Facebook, Google, Reddit) to police their customers for copyright infringement. Setting aside the implausibility of these providers to enforce draconian copyright measures 24/7, these rules also undermine due process protections by forcing providers to cut service to repeat offenders. Copyright Term Extension Criminal Enforcement The current international copyright terms (as established by the Berne Convention) are 50 years after the authors death for individual works and 50 years after creation for corporate works. The TPP would bind signatories to the current U.S. copyright term lengths: 70 years after authors death and 120 years after the creation of a corporate work. Copyright was initially proposedto incentivize the creation of new forms of art; why create if someone else gets all the profits? However, terms that last for several generations are counter-intuitive to the initial purpose. Creativity and innovation are often made possible by building off previous works and the cost of making new works could become a huge entry barrier for smaller operations. This letter from 22 digital rights advocacy groups calls such copyright terms a transfer of wealth in favor of large corporate copyright holders, as they harm those who rely on the public domain (i.e. libraries, students, artists and writers) and further the likelihood of orphan works, those whose author is long gone and cannot be found to seek permission, rendering several works as likely deadweight loss to the economy. Due to the heavy price of royalties related to an extension of this size, one scholar estimated that copyright extension has costAustralia $88 million per year in royalties. Another concern is that such heavy copyright restrictions imposed under a trade deal of this magnitude could make it much more difficult for the United States to change our copyright policy down the road. The U.S. is also pushing for a broad definition for criminal violation of copyright, including infringement for non-commercial purposes. The TPP would criminalize anyone who shares or otherwise makes available copyrighted works on a commercial scale, which, given how quickly memes can go viral, is quite a loose definition. The pact also requires that judges be authorized to order the seizure, destruction, or forfeiture of anything traceable to infringement activity. This clause further empowers law enforcement to take laptops and hard drives from suspects and even allows for the state seizure of internet domain names. Heres the kicker: under the new terms, the government can act without a formal complaint from the copyright owner, meaning the government can take down internet content it doesnt like, given it can be construed to have violated vast copyright restrictions. Censorship, anyone? Another major concern for opponents of the deal is called Investor-State Dispute Settlement, a form of neutral, international arbitration. Break it down: ISDS is a form of arbitration designed to resolve international conflicts without becoming a state-to-state conflict, protect citizens abroad and signal to potential investors that the rule of law will be respected. The United States is currently party to 50 agreements that contain ISDS provisions, including six of the TPP signatory nations. This sounds like a reasonable thing; it protects foreign investors from the corrupt laws of rogue states, is typically used as a last resort, and the U.S. has never lost a case. Heres the problem: ISDS has been increasingly used by foreign corporations to dodge domestic courts and it may even be unconstitutional. Heres how it works: a foreign investor takes issue with a United States law, whether it be local, state or federal, claiming it violates their minimum protections under the trade agreement. The case is brought before a tribunal consisting of three attorneys; one picked by the investor, one by the U.S., and one is chosen by the first two attorneys. These attorneys are not appointed by any federal court, do not have to be U.S. citizens and often serve as arbitrators while also representing investors in other cases. Their decisions are final and not subject to judicial review, with the only solution being money damages based on expected future income lost due to the regulation. The federal government is the sole defendant, even when the cases are levied against state or local laws, raising the issue of federalism. Alan Morrison, a respected law professor who has presented more than 20 cases to the Supreme Court, penned a letter to Congress, writing that the ISDS protections in the TPP improperly removes a core judicial function from the federal courts and therefore violates Article III of the Constitution. Morrison argues that ISDS outsources the resolution of challenges to U.S. law to private arbitrators, completely bypassing the judiciary. To further illustrate how this could be disastrous under TPP, Morrison provides this example: a foreign firm could challenge Californias water-restriction laws due to the drought, claiming it violates their minimum protections under the TPP. Now, these tribunals do not have the power to directly change domestic laws, but even through the threat of litigation can influence governments to proactively remove regulations, as Germany and Canada have done. Lack of Transparency Though these areas are rife with potential weapons for abuse, the most outrageous of the issues with the TPP is the complete and utter lack of transparency. No full text has been issued to the public; our only knowledge of this pact comes from leaked texts. Even members of Congress (after just recently getting access) have to go read the deal one chapter at a time in the basement of the Capitol Visitor Center, being watched over as they read and being allowed to take no notes with them. On the contrary, over 500 industry advisors [lobbyists] from the MPAA and RIAA have been granted online access to the deal they helped write. These are just a few of the points of contention the Diurna has with the Trans-Pacific Partnership, though they certainly cause serious concern on their own. With Congress set to vote on separate fast-track bills next week, this time is crucial to call your representatives and tell them whats up. Weve seen a trade deal favored by the President, the controlling party and corporate America beaten back by grassroots activism and old-fashioned public participation. Fight the current. You may complain about a rigged system all you want, but when the cog that dismantles it is out in the open, its your duty to expose it. Stand up for our democracy. To read more from Jeb Kicker, please visit his site the Diurna where this article first appeared. There is no trade deal. Its a facsist takeover of the US. You are absolutely correct in your assessment. Nancy P did her little lets slow it down fiasco and was kissing cousins with the Obam soon afterwards! She only did this to resurrect herself from the, sign it stupid statement! WITHIN 72 HRS OF A CLEAR NO VOTE, IT PASSED THE HOUSE AND WILL BE IN THE SENATE NEXT WEEK! CALL, CALL, CALL CALL!!! AND THREATEN THEM WILL NO REELECTION IF THEY VOTE FOR IT!!!!! When I think of all of these Tpeeps, I am reminded to the Apple factory in China that has a suicide net around it. The employees.like all others, work 12-14 hr days, 6 days a week, and earn approximately $250 per month. This will become the norm so that corporations can freely profit all over the world! We will become like the people in China, Thailand and Bangladesh! There will be only two classes, rich poor!!! As little as 10 yrs ago, you would have called me nuts if I had told you that the dem POTUS had partnered with the repubs to gain power and authority to fundamentally change America, werent allowed to thoroughly read the bill and analyze it, and no one cared. I am just amazed at how fast our country is disappearing. Children of the future will not believe us when we describe living in the Old America! They will think it a fairy tale/legend, like Camelot! The criminal Elite and their bought government puppets are forcing this on us in every way they can. It is their intent to reduce the world population bu 6 billion. Do you think you are exempt? Return the favor. And you actually believe in rules? Call your Senators early tomorrow and tell them NO! Capitol Switchboard 202-224-3121 If they vote to fast-track the TPP, then we must gather everyone and march/protest! These Global Governance Treaties will destroy our country and our constitution. For more info see: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/06/21/sen-sessions-slow-fast-track-now-before-its-too-late/ Call your Senators early tomorrow and tell them NO! Capitol Switchboard 202-224-3121 If they vote to fast-track the TPP, then we must gather everyone and march/protest! These Global Governance Treaties will destroy our country and our constitution. Plain and simply, if it was truly good for the average American why is everything secret? Senators have to be vetted and told they cannot divulge details about the agreement! Seems like theres much to hide here Besides calling your Senators, informing your neighbors about TPP, via face-to-face networking, is desperately needed. Most of the public, in the US and Canada, NEVER EVEN HEARD OF TPP. Of people that Ive polled in NJ that DID have an inkling, most just think its a trade deal. At least half seem to have no knowledge of the more damning details. Anti-TPP activists have failed miserably to educate the public, in spite of the golden opportunity that the Wikileaks TPP leaks presented them. See TPP Ignorance. on Facebook for more info. Ive been around looking at GATT and NAFTA and CAFTA and like garbage for the last twenty years. Those who own and control our country and our entire Congress have at least since the early 1970s been rewarding corporations for moving their industries offshore. You mention nothing about the further extreme loss of employment for tens of thousands of Americans, which of course further trashes the U.S. economy and sovereignty. The problem basically is that all our elected representatives do not put America first and do not care about our national sovereignty, and most of all they do not care about our citizens and what is for the common good of the people, and it has been like this for almost a century. I no longer call my congressional representatives because they are traitorous purchased disgusting entities. Again, the people get f*cked over by the politicians. When are we going to wake up and eliminate this dangerous species? Hmmm These trade deals are in essence legalized economic terrorism at the hands of multinational corporations. They will within 10 years bring about the destruction of Western Civilization as we now know it. And make no mistake that threat goes to the very heart of the intent of the creators of these instruments of death. The only way to bring about the forced introduction of a new world order (with these lunatics in charge of course) is via the dismantling of the old order. When one realizes that they fully intend to force the Western world to abide by the terms of these treaties while simultaneously denying citizens the ability to read them, let alone comprehend the full import of their terms and requirements, actually requires one to suspend not just common sense, but all rational thought. Unfortunately both my state reps voted Yeah first time around. Boner is a mad man. Seems to not matter anymore. Doesnt go through the first time? Well just ram it again. Hope some of these folks live long enough to see the monster they helped create. Thank god for alternative media for if not, the mainstream is so weak and scared to even give anything but a passing mention. Like they cannot say anything unless a teleprompter is in front of them. Seems so many are commenting on all sites. I am sure many have called their specific Representatives. It is hard to stop a train, but all should keep the pressure up even for a repeal or reversal should it slither through. 
3	Bilderberg 2012 Marks a Turning Point in Focused and Cooperative ActivismBrandon Turbeville I honestly had no idea what to expect as I made my way to the hotel. Being a realist by nature, I expected to encounter heavy security and only a handful of determined protesters carrying signs and repeating anti-Bilderberg chants; typical protest stuff. What I found, however, was somewhat of a surprise. Of course, the heavy police presence was exactly what I expected. But there was significantly more than a mere handful of protesters waiting at the hotel entrance. In fact, the crowd was about three times the size I thought it would be. Obviously, the signs were there and so were the chants. But there was no doubt that this protest was something different. I must admit that it is difficult to describe in words just what was so different about this demonstration as compared to others I have attended in the past. Indeed, after talking with other activists, journalists, and demonstrators, I have found that the majority of them have come away with the same outlook regarding this years Bilderberg meeting. That is, that they took part in something special this weekend and that the protest surrounding Bilderberg 2012 was some kind of a turning point. In truth, the size of the crowd was secondary to the energy it produced, and the energy surrounding the overall event. Throughout the demonstration, one could walk through the crowd and witness discussions and debates, all of them mutually respectful, regarding history, philosophies, and solutions. One such debate was a conversation captured on camera between Webster Tarpley and Adam Kokesh, two individuals of very different backgrounds and political pedigrees, but who are nevertheless in complete agreement about the dangers posed to the world population by cabals such as the Bilderberg Group. As I mentioned above, the electric energy present at Bilderberg was both unmistakable and indescribable. There were even times when it felt as if there was some kind of unconscious telepathy taking place between the protesters, as one could immediately pick out other activists when walking down the street far from the hotel itself. No one needed to be decked out in political shirts or carrying signs you just knew. I truly felt there was no need to formally introduce myself to other demonstrators because, from the moment I reached the event, it felt as if I was visiting a group of old friends and family. In fact, the protest felt more like a festival than a demonstration. Although Mark Dice was obviously making a joke by dubbing the demonstration Bilderfest 2012, it was also an accurate description of the event. Adam Kokesh felt the same way as he described the protest as a summit for alternative media. Author JG Vibes agrees when he writes: Everyone was well aware that they were standing just yards away from some of the most evil conversations that could possibly be taking place, but that didnt mean that the atmosphere outside had to take the same tone. This statement brings us to another aspect of this protest that made it so different from all the others. The 2012 Bilderberg Demonstration exhibited a startling lack of anger and hatred; rather it was an startling amount of love and commitment to one other that defined the atmosphere. This is not to say that the protesters were not angry or that they didnt hate the criminals meeting inside the hotel; it is to say that the anger they carried was not the anger that consumes the one that harbors it. It was the kind of anger that produces peaceful resistance and productive change. Even in the midst of the heavy police presence and the fact that, only a few yards away from them, plans were being made to further tighten the noose fastened around the neck of the general population, the activists maintained this spirit of love and community, all the while making enough noise to cause at least some disruption of the globalists meeting inside the hotel. Again, as JG Vibes writes: The vibe outside was one of celebration, love, togetherness, and peaceful resistance. Everyone was excited to share that moment with one another, and were excited to see such an unprecedented turnout for something that has remained secret for so many years. In terms of community I, myself, was thrilled to meet so many people of like minds and to have the opportunity to discuss with them the issues that have become such guiding factors in all of our lives. I was also immeasurably pleased to meet one of the individuals who played a role in my own awakening, as well as several other activists, researchers, and journalists whose work I have greatly admired from a distance for some time. In all honesty, when I first realized that I would have this opportunity, I must confess at having some question in the back of my mind as to whether or not some of these individuals are as real and sincere as they have presented themselves to be through their public work. After all, such doubt and possibility is human nature. However, I am now pleased to say that, although I only met them briefly, I am convinced that they are indeed as sincere and dedicated as they appear to be from a distance. There is no question in my mind that these people are absolutely determined to promote freedom and humanity in the face of the obstacles currently placed in front of us. With this in mind, it is important for all of us to remember that we may disagree with each others political philosophies and methods of presentation, but we cannot allow these disagreements to divide us. We must be able to hold views that are different from those around us while still working together for the same common goal. Not only that, we must maintain the ability to be respectful and tolerant of each other on those issues and areas where we may disagree. Lastly, we cannot forget to mention the man who dedicated so many years of his life to exposing this secretive cabal of globalists known as the Bilderberg Group. Jim Tucker has been following and reporting on Bilderberg for well over thirty years and, for most of those years, was labeled a conspiracy theorist by almost everyone in the mainstream media and ignored by all the rest. When Tucker first began his work against Bilderberg, he was laughed at, ridiculed, and ostracized. No one showed up to protest the meetings because virtually no one knew about them. No mainstream news agencies followed up on his reports because they were owned by the individuals he was trying to expose. Even many outside of the mainstream media were reluctant to follow this rabbit hole any further. One can only imagine the discouragement Tucker must have felt as he watched his reports which were the result of a great deal of hard and dangerous work, as well as financial and geographical inconvenience be so easily dismissed the moment they were released. Yet he still persisted where most others would have given up long ago. Now, over thirty years later, not even the mainstream media can continue calling Jim Tucker a conspiracy theorist with any sincerity. What he was once laughed at for reporting, the London Telegraph, London Guardian, Washington Post, and Washington Times have now been forced to address in their own publications. While once following and infiltrating Bilderberg alone, Tucker is now greeted by close to a thousand protesters. He is now standing side by side with a large contingent of the alternative media and even a tiny portion of those from the mainstream. Although Tucker has grown much older since his firstexposof Bilderberg many years ago, I cannot help but to express immense joy that he has been able to live to see his tireless effort and often thankless work turn into such an event, and to know that it is largely because of him that demonstrations like Bilderberg 2012 are taking place. Such is an honor that many men never receive and it is one that Jim Tucker truly deserves. Indeed, it is thanks to Jim Tucker that Bilderberg is greeted with a growing number of protesters and new leaks every year. Although these meetings are still conducted in the dark, they are forced to work harder and harder to dodge the light. Read other articles by Brandon Turbeville here.

3	39 Fantastic Prepping TipsGaye Levy People often ask where my ideas and where my knowledge comes from. When that happens, I chuckle a bit to myself because just like the person asking, my knowledge comes from a variety of sources: first hand experience, books, online forums and of course, Backdoor Survival readers. So you see, it is not that I am smarter or more clever than everyone else but rather that I have taken my passion for preparedness and made it an active part of my life. That leads me to the topic for todays article. Following my own article on Five Minute Prepping Projects, I asked readers to submit their own tips namely something that we all can do to prep that takes 10 minutes or less. There were some really good suggestions and so I thought I would share some of them here so that everyone can learn from them. 1. There are many times when trouble strikes and we have to deal with only what we have on our person and in our pockets. A BOB is a luxury that might not be with us when the unexpected comes along, so I like to make sure I have a minimum of things on me before I leave the house even for a trip to the grocery. Heres what I carry, youll have to adjust for your own needs: 1) A small pocket knife 2. The most important thing to have in a survival situation is water. The ten minute thing I did was to buy extensions for the gutter down spout. At the time I put them in I had a back yard above ground pool. Kids all gone now, pool gone, but I now have 10 55 gallon barrels. 3. Check your supplies and rotate them out as the expiration date comes due. Stock the foods you like, because if you dont like a certain food, you wont eat it. 4. I like to can water after using my canning jars in the winter. I then have good water if the electricity goes down and also if there is a drought in the summer, I will have water for canning. 5. My 10 minute prepping tip is to save all of your dryer lint in a zip food bag. Squeeze it down, roll it up and place it in your bug out kit. 6. My very first prepping project was getting a plastic tote box ready for myself for the vehicle. 7. The every three month 10 minute prep activity I do religiously is rotate my prescription meds. I have two weeks in my purse, 3 days in my 72 hour kit, 3 days in my car kit, and 3 days in my comprehensive medical kit. If it takes you longer than ten minutes to do this, you need to practice knowing where all these items are stashed! 8. The 10 min DIY water distillery: Using two, one liter clear soda bottles. Put 1/4 inch holes in both caps, insert 1/4 inch clear tubing thru each cap and down into each bottle (about 5-7 feet of tubing). Secure each cap onto bottles. Fill one 3/4 with water you want to distill, bring tubing about 1/2 inch from top. place in sunlight. Bring the tubing to the bottom of other bottle and place it in shade. As the sun heats up the water and the water goes into a gas, expanding and going into the bottle in shade, it cools down and turns back into water, filling the bottle in shade, with clear drinkable water. This can also be used to remove salt from saltwater. Place a black band of tape around the input bottle, making sure not to mix them up. 9. Rinse out used soda bottles and fill with water. Save them for when the water is turned off or long term storage. 10. Dip cotton balls in petroleum jelly and put in a baggie or small plastic container (recycle old pill bottles) for your bug out bag. These make great fire starters and they burn long and hot. 11. My 10 minute tip: pack a small emergency kit for your purse/pocket that you carry every day. Items to include *could* be a small flashlight (some LED ones are very tiny bright), a few bandages, a BIC-type lighter, pocket knife, safety pins, pencil/pen, small notebook/Post-It notepad, paperclip, a paracord survival bracelet, printable pamphlet of survival tips (several available on the internet). Visit your local Red Cross for preparedness tips for your area. Often they have TONS of FREE information specific to your location to help families prepare BEFORE a problem arises. 12. Take quick check of your food supply, once a storm catches you by surprise, its too late, and it only takes a few minutes to make a quick list of the basic canned goods that you need to replace, better safe than sorry! 13. We all probably think that our BOB has what we need in it and maybe it does. Take a quick look in it and see if there is some place to add a little easy redundancy, remembering that three is one and one is none. I took a Ziploc bag and put in it: a small candle, a pill vial with Vaseline in it, another pill vial stuffed with dryer lint, a disposable lighter and a magnifying glass. Easy to do and now I have several ways to start a fire in addition to the matches and the fire steel already in the bag without adding even a pound to the weight of the bag. I know there are a lot of other easy additions that can increase redundancy in all of our bags. 14. Never be without toilet paper. Put 4 rolls in 2 gallon Ziplocs and put 1 bag in each car, one in the garage, one under each sink in the house. That way, regardless of what disaster occurs TP will be there. 15. Take ten minutes a day or even a week and learn how to use the things you have been accumulating for emergencies. This month I have been using the solar oven and rocket stove. Much easier to use the fifth time than the first. 16. Buy a large bottle of 5 to 10-percent iodine solution and transfer into those small, handy travel spray containers. Put one in each first aid kit in each bug-out bag. Besides being a disinfectant and medical treatment of cuts, a few drops per liter will purify water as well as keep thyroid function humming along in the absence of iodized salt. 17. Not a total of 10 minutes, but a great prep tip I have is to buy extra lumber, fasteners, nails, whenever you have a DIY project, and save the extra in your new Mini-Lumberyard! 18. Arrange to have a prepping partner call you randomly during the week and give you a surprise emergency drill of some kind. You have ten minutes to begin responding. Next week, return the favor. 19. Carry a small bottle of iodine and a small bottle of bleach with you in your bug out bag in the event you have to drink questionable water in your travels. Just add a bit to your canteen, shake it and let it be for a while and you are good to go. They have iodine pills but, take it from me being ex military; they taste bad but with this method it will do the job better and the water will not taste that bad. 20. Weigh your BOB. Put it on and carry it around the house. How long can you go without stopping? If it is too heavy which it is likely to be, here are a couple of things that you might consider doing: 1..Pack a half dozen of those freebie cloth satchels with handles in with the BOB. This way depending on how many people may be with you when you actually need to pack the BOB you can distribute the weight among everyone. 21. Make a list of the most important items to take with you if you are alone and safety pin that to the top of the BOB. In a real emergency you will not have time to think it through and you are likely to be too stressed to make the right choices. If alone, you must keep the weight down to a poundage that you can carry for long term. 22. I think my favorite quick prep is making a waterproof match container out of a mason jar. Glue a piece of sandpaper to the lid, fill the jar with stick matches, add a candle, tighten down the ring and there you have it. Im sure the same could be done with a plastic jar if youre worried about breakage but I like the decorative little mason jars spread around the house. I took the time to waterproof my matches but I dont believe thats necessary. 23. I take 10 minutes on Mondays to do a quick check of my food storage to make sure I add needed items to the grocery list. This keeps things pretty up-to-date for me. 24. Keep a running inventory of ammunition so you keep a good assortment on hand and track what you use. A little extra can be good for barter. 25. Most of us have items that use batteries. Flashlights, radios, etc. I have a laminated list of the items that I keep in my prep, with a section just for things that need to be rotated. Quarterly, I grab the rotation list and swap out old batteries for new. The batteries I take out of my prep kit are usually still good, so I put them into use in normal, everyday equipment. It takes almost no time, and makes sure I have good batteries everywhere I need them, not just my prep kit. 26. Every time I go to the grocery store, I add an extra $10 of items for my food storage. 27. Make a small fishing kit, cheap and easy. Take a small tin (preferably a round candy mint tin). Add fishing line, hooks, sinkers, small artificial bait and a couple of snubbers. (A snubber is a piece of surgical tubing with fishing line going down the center and clasps on each end to tie your fishing line to. You can pick this up at most any store that sells fishing gear). If you need to use your fishing kit and do not have a breakdown or telescoping fishing pole you will probably be using a branch. A branch will not have the same flexibility as a fishing pole. Tie your fishing line to the end of your flexible branch (the length of line will be determined by your situation). Tie the other end to your snubber. On the other end of your snubber tie your leader (about 18 to 24 of fishing line) then tie on your hook. Add your sinker to the fishing line on the pole / branch side of the snubber about 12 from the snubber. Add bait and you are set. I have added the snubbers to my kit, because it acts like a shock absorber when you have a fish on the line. This has helped me to land the fish and not break off the hook or line due to not having the flexibility of a proper fishing pole. 28. Ive been through two hurricanes here on the Gulf coast in recent years. Water, all you can reasonably store, is a must, along with some way to purify it if need be. Ive carried a pocket knife for more years than I can remember, and in recent years Ive started carrying a multi-tool. I always have a roll of toilet paper inside a zip-lock bag under the back seat of my truck. I also save dryer lint to use as tinder. 29. Gather up a few cans of veggies, fruits, and meats along with a jar of peanut butter. Store in your vehicle (under seat, in trunk) Throw in a good manual can opener or something strong enough to cut the lid in emergency. Can be eaten without heating or cooking. 30. Freeze and store milk in its container. I have been doing it for years with two pint semi-skimmed milk ones, full fat (cream) is not so good as the fat separates when defrosted. These have been handy already in extended power cuts as the freezer keeps cold, as does the fridge if you put a frozen one on the top shelf. It takes about twelve hours to defrost at 60F and the frozen milk lasts indefinitely in my experience, although I still rotate. 31. Get a caravan size chemical toilet and some Elsan Blue or Eco Green fluid as well for when theres no sanitation or main water to flush the loo. This is one essential that is often overlooked. 32. You can fix up a go-bag a few moments at time by leaving it open in a place you will see it (I myself am an out-of-sight-out-of-mind person), say a corner of the kitchen, and dropping in the things you want to have at the ready. On laundry day, drop in clean socks and undies. On grocery day, buy a few easy to eat nibbles (that you like) tuna in a pouch, nuts, dry fruit, plus a bottle of water and drop them in the bag. Make a list of other things you need to think about: first aid kit, flashlight, etc. As you go to the hardware store, purchase these things, drop them in the bag when you get home. This is your basic backpack which you can modify according to your needs (weather, for instance). 33. Place a pair of shoes, socks, work gloves, a whistle, and a light stick or flashlight with batteries under your bed for use during or after an emergency. Add to this a mobile phone to call for assistance, spare house and car keys in case you have to get out of the house from an upstairs window and need to get back inside to put out small fires safely with extinguishers you have placed at door exits. I also have a spare set of old clothes, shoes and a blanket packed in a suitcase in the caravan in the garden along with an emergency supply of bottled water and food in pull tab tins. A dry shed or outhouse would suffice for this no doubt. 34. Unless your home is 100% all electric, get a carbon monoxide alarm if you dont already have one. And even then its not a bad idea as in an emergency you may want to use a propane device, and itll hopefully keep you from dying from the CO. 35. Stock up on calcium chloride ice melt. Get a 50# bag and fill the empty milk jugs with it. Keep one jug in each car. 36. Hurricane matches. Get a bunch. They arent cheap, but theyre the best. 37. GMRS/FRS radio. Regular CBs can become clogged with radio traffic. A good brand can also provide encryption so you can have private discussion with family. Depending on the make and model, it may come with frequencies that require a license. In emergencies I doubt the FCC will chase you down. And in regular times, I doubt they will chase you down if youre not being obnoxious. 38. In addition to a flash drive, open a free cloud service account, many of which will give you 5-10 gigabytes of storage. An alternative to that would be to open up a new e-mail account, on Yahoo/Gmail/etc, and e-mail the documents to yourself. Unsure of what to make for a new username for an e-mail account? Take your first name + documents (i.e. BillDocuments), and use your last name as the password. This way, if your house (and flash drive) are lost in a tornado/earthquake/fire/etc, you can still access those documents from, say, a public library computer. 39. Another tip along with freezing jugs with water to place in the freezer, is to fill a 2 liter bottle about 1/3 full. Freeze it upright, then lay it on its side. If you come home from vacation, and the water is frozen at the bottom (sideways) in the bottle then the power was off long enough that the food may have spoiled. THE FINAL WORD I have always maintained that Backdoor Survival readers are the most creative and resourceful folks on the internet when it comes to basic, common sense preparedness. No fear mongering types here just ordinary folks doing their best to take care of themselves, their families and their comfort and safety, no matter what happens down the road. I tip my hat to you.

2	Lester Holt Just Received The Worst News Of His Career After Being Exposed For Rigging The Debate One week after the first presidential debates, Americans everywhere are still outraged at the way Lester Holt moderated the event. It was very apparent that he did everything in his power to hand the first debate to Hillary Clinton. I give him a C, C+, Trump commented after the event. I thought he was okay, I thought he was fine. I mean nothing outstanding. He gave me very unfair questions at the end, the last three, four questions, but Im not complaining about that. I thought he was okay. This shows just how much of a gentleman Donald Trump can be. Even the New Yorker criticized Holt in a satire piece, claiming: CNN launched an urgent manhunt Monday after Lester Holt, the moderator of the first Presidential debate of the 2016 election, mysteriously vanished two minutes into the contest. Now, Holt appears to be on the hot seat in his career. He is likely to suffer the same fate as Candy Crowley, whose career took a dive after she moderated a terribly biased debate. What do you think of Holts performance? 
3	Will Silver and Gold Rally in 2017 Under Trump?By Steven Maxwell Trumps protectionist policies and his support for auditing the Federal Reserve could make silver and gold an attractive hedge in 2017. Couple that with a bubble economy that has many bloated sectors ready to be pricked, sending capital flooding out of paper assets into safer places. Under Obama, silver hit a low of $9.46/ounce on November 6th 2008, a mere two days after Obama was elected as the 44th US president. After an epic real estate and stock market meltdownled to an unprecedented Fed bailout, a rally for paper assets and metals ensued. Silver hit highs above $50/ounce in April of 2011. While Obama readies his exit from the White House, the stock market continues to ridethe stimulus bubble, but silver has substantially retreated to near its lowest price under his Administration $16.80/ounce. Although silver may seem to be a cheap and boring investment compared to the prospect of 20,000 Dow, had you bought it during those early days following Obamas election, your investment would have still gained about 70 percent with a future that appears to be even shinier. The price in precious metals swung a bit on election night up when a Hillary win was expected, down after it was clear Trump would be victorious. Apparently a lot of people were rage dialing their brokers late into election night resulting a near five percent plunge in the Dow Jones in after-hours trading. Thisillustrates the fact that there can be emotional volatility during any time of transition and a subsequent rush to safety. On election night people ran to cash for safety. Yet, ongoing currency wars and potential trade wars with Trumps proposed tariffs could makeprecious metalsan important hedge. Remember that other countries also buy silver and gold when currencies become unstable. Those withphysical metalsor gold and silver in IRAcould also benefit from Trumps $1 trillioninfrastructure plan, both because it will require printing money (inflation) and because the new construction will require more fabrication metals than a free market would normally demand. One recent development that could also lead to potentially higher prices is the Deutsche Bank settlement last year over precious metals price rigging and their testimony about other participating banks. This punishment might create an atmosphere of more honest pricing going forward in 2017 and beyond as the market adjusts to its new freedom after the fallout. Recall according to Bloomberg: Deutsche Bank AG has reached settlements in lawsuits over allegations it manipulated gold and silver prices, lawyers for traders of the commodities said in court filings. Attorneys for futures contract traders in two private lawsuits said in letters filed Wednesday and Thursday in Manhattan federal court that the bank has executed term sheets and is negotiating final details for the accords. . In addition to valuable monetary consideration to be paid into a settlement fund, the term sheet also provides for other valuable consideration such as provisions requiring Deutsche Banks cooperation in pursuing claims against the remaining defendants, attorneys Daniel Brockett and Merrill Davidoff said in their letter Thursday in the gold-fixing lawsuit. Silver and gold futures traders sued groups of banks in 2014 alleging they rigged prices for the precious metals and their derivatives. Silver traders brought claims against Deutsche Bank, HSBC Holdings Plc, Bank of Nova Scotia and UBS AG. Gold traders additionally sued Barclays Plc and Societe Generale SA. If an atmosphere of more transparency should take hold under a Trump presidency and other governments around the world, its reasonable to assume that precious metals will begin a steadier trajectory upward, rather than some of the severe volatility they have been subjected to. Once proper pricing is firmly established, mining companies will then be able to show their investors steadier returns, heralding a potential surge across the board. A final economic consideration that continues to highlight physical silver as a strong asset is a year-over-year shortage, with production decreasing on a global scale. Once again, this reality has not been fully reflected in its current price. If all factors remain relatively constant, silver and gold will likely climb in value in 2017. However, if any of the major financial bubbles burst, it could depress global demand for all commodities in the short term. So its best to stay diversified and adaptable. Steven Maxwell writes for selfnews Post where this article first appeared. Doubt it. The economy will flourish. Silver might rise due to construction. Gold shot straight up when Clinton win became uncertain and then dropped when Trump won, then dropped further the next day after Clinton officially gave up. Gold climbs on uncertainty and drops on clarity. 
3	Court Rules That Defendants Belief In The Illuminati Makes Him Unfit For TrialBy John Vibes Adel Daoud was accused of attempting to plant a bomb in downtown Chicago in 2012 when he was 17 years old. However, the plot was not conceived by him; he was allegedly coaxed by FBI agents, who encouraged him to take a fake bomb and plant it in the city. This case was among dozens of cases when the FBI encouraged individuals to plan false terrorist attacks. According to Courthouse News, U.S. District Judge Sharon Coleman found Daoud unfit to stand trial for the third time based on his belief in reptilians and the Illuminati. This court has no doubt as to Daouds factual understanding of the proceedings against him. However, his rational understanding of the proceedings is significantly undermined by his pervasive belief that the court and the prosecution are members of the Illuminati and that his attorneys are Freemasons, Coleman said in his statement. From Daouds own testimony as well as his letters to the court, it appears that his belief in the Illuminati, Freemasons and lizard people is sincere and escalating. Undoubtedly, his lengthy pretrial incarceration, often spent in isolation and approaching its fourth year, coupled with the trauma of witnessing his cellmates attempted and then successful suicide, have only contributed to his mental issues, Coleman said. The judgeordered Daoud be placed in a psychiatric treatment facility until the court decides that he is fit to stand trial. If Im crazy now, and I feel this is the best state Ive been in, I had to be crazy forever, Daoud said in court when his eligibility was being discussed. Any human being, regardless of mental stability, should have the right to stand trial and defend themselves against accusations as serious as terrorism. It is also important to point out that many of the failed terrorist attacks to occur in the past decade were actually set up by the FBI. Not only were they orchestrated by the FBI, but many of the suspects who were entrapped in these operations were mentally ill people, meaning that the FBI was reaching for low hanging fruit and setting up the easiest targets. The following TED talk from Intercept journalistTrevor Aaronson details how the FBI has set up false terrorist plots to entrap mentally ill suspects who would have otherwise had no ability to commit an act of terrorism. John Vibes is an author and researcher who organizes a number of large events including the Free Your Mind Conference. He also has a publishing company where he offers a censorship free platform for both fiction and non-fiction writers. John wirtes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared.

John is currently battling cancer naturally, without any chemo or radiation, and will be working to help others through his experience, if you wish to contribute to his treatments please donate here. John, Is anyone concerned at all that they held this guy now over FOUR YEARS without allowing him to receive a fair trial. He has not been convicted of anything yet sits in a cell wow It appears his Sixth Amendment right is being being violated. In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense. Not when you are labeled as a terrorist, the NDAA says you lose all rights, they can hold him forever, or execute him or you! All of us fall under many of the 72 points the DHS uses to identify them, again all Americans can be labeled a domestic terrorist even for thoughts. He is not protected by the constitution because he is not a party to it, and neither are we. No private person has a right to complain by suit in court on the ground of a breach of the United States constitution; for, though the constitution is a compact, he is not a party to it. Padelford Fay Co v. The Mayor and Alderman of the City of Savannah 14, Georgia 438, 520. [a compact is a contract or treaty between two states or nations, and we are not states nor nations!] What youre referring to here is common law, and we dont have that (we never really did), were all legal fictions under color of law or maritime/martial law now. I have the legal citations to prove it if anyones interested, so these amendments dont apply to us. Also, we are possessions of the federal government, slaves in bondage, and as such, we have no rights, only privileges for which we must pay. Cats out of the bag, its time we learn the law, because theyve been lying to us all along, and thats how theyve gotten away with murder. Literally. Obama would put all Christians, Vets, and Conservatives in jail forever if he could Always be a light that is shininginthedark Im sure the judge is part of the reptilian goat worshipers. The headline is deceiving. The guy thinks that reptiles are running the world. Of course hes unfit to stand trial, He has a worldview that is seen as irrationally fictional by 100% of all people that use reason. logic and evidence to make clear judgments in matters. You are absolutely WRONG. Might as well say anyone who believes in any form of spirituality is also unfit to stand trial because they believe in invisible beings that manipulate reality by will ie GODS. I knew someone would be stupid enough to read lizard people and jump to such a conclusion. some people really are fools, and its not those who believe in lizard people. If people can believe in a god and be fit to stand trial, he can believe in lizard people and be fit to stand trial. You just proved my point. 100% of people that use reason, logic and evidence And you have the freedom to make decisions while driving a 2000lbs vehicle travelling at lethal speeds.sobering where this world has declined to. You are allowed to believe in unseen forces that control mankind as long as the majority of the people believe in the same thing. However, if you watch David Icke presentations about lizard people and dare to believe what he says you may be subject to this kind of treatment, even if it is true. The same amount of proof exists for the existence of God, yet these people are deemed normal. The judge used the unfit for trial excuse to put this guy away because if the trial was allowed to proceed the FBIs sources and methods would be on display, once again, for the whole world to see. And chances are the evidence against him would have been thrown out. The US government blames many other entities for terrorism, especially Iran, but it is obvious by this example, Al Qaeda, ISIS, and many others we create and fund most of the terrorism worldwide. They Do Not Want DISCOVERY In A Court of Law Where The FBI Would Be Proven To Be Behind These Attacks In The USA. Well, I hate to report like this again, but the court clerk masquerading as a judge actually got one right because no one is competent to stand trial if they either a) hire a lawyer to represent them, or b) represent themselves for the simple reason they ARE themselves, and youd have to be crazy (incompetent) to believe you are an individual fictitious entity and not yourself! Its so simple to understand once you get the hang of it, but this is how theyve gotten away with so much injustice they play us for fools. (*by the way, if one of these frauds ever asks if you understand something, like, Do you understand the charges? the answer is always NO! because in legalese, understand does not mean comprehend like they allow us to believe it does. It actually means stand under or AGREE, so youre giving evidence against yourself by saying you agree with the charges, and BOOM, theyve got you.) Judges do not adjudicate, they only administrate your corporate account (cestui qui trust) which is a total fraud and they ALL know it, every last one of them. These accounts have three different interested parties: the beneficiary, which is the only entity that can benefit or make money, the trustee, which is the only entity responsible to pay any debts or fines, and the executor, which is the entity that does the corporate paperwork. Thats it. So what happens is, once you identify as your fictitious entity you automatically, magically become the trustee. Why? Because you just gave evidence against yourself that youre incompetent by either hiring a lawyer or representing yourself. Sounds like Im going around in circles, doesnt it? This is the method to their madness. Did you know they cant take your stuff or money, or put you in a cage unless and until you hire a lawyer? Its absolutely true, and thats why, when you are kidnapped on the side of the road by highwaymen or thrown across their bar in front of a clerk masquerading as a judge they always say, If you do not have a lawyer one WILL be appointed, because they know they MUST assign you a lawyer before they can even interact with you (corporations or fictitious entities may only interact with other corporations or fictitious entities please strongly note the word fictitious it means fake, illusory, not real, a FRAUD) and the ONLY reason they want to interact with you is to take your money and stuff and put you in a cage! They dont give one whit about justice or what you supposedly did wrong they just want your money. So our legal system is factually just one big, fat fraudulent racket. There are no Judicial courts in America and have not been since 1789. Judges do not enforce Statutes and Codes. Executive Administrators enforce them. FRC v. GE 281 US 464, Keller v.

One more thing: They ONLY pull the incompetency card when they know you can hurt them. If theyve tricked you into their jurisdiction, and its ALL about jurisdiction and competency, by getting you to accept that youre some creature of the mind only (a legal fiction), they can declare you incompetent. So the question is, do you know who you are? (hint: Youre YOU, not a legal fiction!) Its important to note, the object is to NEVER cross their bar, because once you do, youre pretty well screwed unless you know the law well. You must try to avoid it at all cost by being morally superior (do the right thing, and dont be a jerk and break their stupid codes if at all possible).

Twenty two years ago I was called for jury duty. I told the jury evaluators that I would vote for whoever had the least money or whomever I thought was the underdog, regardless of evidence provided, because I believed the court system was rigged for the elite. They released me. And Ive never been called for jury duty since. FBI are terrorist enablers. Proven over and over. Comey did it right in our faces. What difference does it make? The FBI should be the ones on trial for entrapment and enabling terrorism. Remember the 1993 WTC bombing? The PROVIDED the bomb. A WORKING one. Let that sink in. Then look at 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. Ryder truck photos. Bomb found INSIDE the building 
2	He Wasnt Expecting To Uncover THIS In An Interview With Trump On Drugs, Smoking, and Drinking Jesse Watters had a quick interview with Trump where he discussed smoking, drinking, and drugs. It was an attempt to get to know Donald on a deeper human level, as opposed to the usual business and political man we see on a day to day basis. They talked for quite a bit about his past with alcohol. Trump said that he has never had a taste for it, and has people close to him who suffered with abuse issues. His late brother was an alcoholic, and made Trump promise he would never have an issue with drinking. They then moved on to the topic of marijuana. Trump said that he has never tried it, and that he would tell all of America if he had. I would tell you 100% cause everyone else seems to admit it now-a-days so Id actually tell you, he said. Its almost like hey, its a sign. Ive never smoked a cigarette either, he added. Seems like Trump is surprisingly healthy. Most people that reach the amount of wealth he has cant say the same about alcohol, drugs, and smoking. Does this insight make you respect Trump a little bit more? Watch the interview below. 
3	Former President Bush and Administration Guilty of War CrimesSusanne Posel, Contributor The tribunal was led by retired Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad. After the guilty verdict reached by five senior judges was delivered, Mahathir Mohamad said: Powerful countries are getting away with murder. After a week filled with testimony, personal statements and deliberations, the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission, a five-person panel announced their guilty verdict. This verdict will be filed with the Commissions Register of War Criminals to be made public record. Among George W. Bush were named: Dick Cheney, former Vice President During the trial, witnesses gave accounts of torture carried out by US soldiers and contracted mercenaries in Iraq and Afghanistan. Moazzam, ex-Guantanamo detainee and Abbas Hameedi, an Iraqi woman testified as to the torture they personally endured at Abu Ghraib. To achieve their goals, the most suffering was inflicted against prisoners captured. The intelligence from those tortured was highly suspect and completely unreliable. Francis Boyle, professor of international law and war crimes expert was in attendance at the trial and part of the prosecution team. Boyle commented: This is the first conviction of these people anywhere in the world. Boyle went on to say that he hoped Bush and Cheney would find themselves in similar trials across the world. We tried three times to get Bush in Canada but were thwarted by the Canadian Government, then we scared Bush out of going to Switzerland. The Spanish attempt failed because of the government there and the same happened in Germany. Boyle made references to the Nuremberg trials, comparing them to the tribunal in Malaysia. Boyle also said that he was nearly certain that the trial was being surveyed by the Pentagon and White House officials. Professor Gurdial Singh Nijar, who headed the prosecution said: The tribunal was very careful to adhere scrupulously to the regulations drawn up by the Nuremberg courts and the International Criminal Courts. Tan Sri Dato Lamin bin Haji Mohd Yunus Lamin, the president of the tribunal, made the final statements at the end of the trial. Lamin remarked that although the tribunal has no power of enforcement, the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission will submit the verdict to the Chief Prosecutor of the Internaitonal Criminal Court and the UN and their Security Council. Lamin would like to see the verdict be made public and publicized accordingly for the entire world to know. Moazzam Begg is now the director for a London-based human rights advocacy group called the Cageprisoners. Begg was happy with the verdict and said: Begg remarked about the former and current US presidents that: RELATED ACTIVIST POST ARTICLES:

'Fifteen years ago, our nation's Farm Aid concerts were thriving, with millions of Americans flocking to see such artists as John Mellencamp, Neil Young, and myself,' Nelson said. 'But today, with ticket sales dwindling and subsidies nonexistent, countless hard-working Farm Aid promoters have been forced to foreclose on bookings in amphitheaters one-tenth the size of the stadiums they once filled.' 
2	She Was Mugged While Visiting Her Husbands Grave, But What Happened Next Gave Me The Chills [VIDEO] 78 year old Tona Herdon was devastated when she lost her husband of more than 60 years. Her world was shattered. Two short weeks after his death, Tona finally worked up the nerve to visit her husbands grave and reflect on the wonderful memories that they had built together. Unfortunately, Tonas visit quickly turned into a nightmare. While standing at the grave, Tona was attacked and mugged. The man who robbed her graveside got away with her purse, which held around $700. News of the attack quickly spread throughout the local community. Mugshots of the attacker appeared on television. 15-year-old Christian Lunsford happened to be watching TV when he recognized his estranged father on the screen. Suddenly, the $250 his father handed him two weeks before made sense. Lunsford decided to reach out to Tona. He returned the $250 and apologized on behalf of his father. Tona repaid Lunsford by allowing him to keep the money for his band trip. The gesture reflects the immense strength of the woman who lost everything.

Hey, all I can say is I hope this guy is prepared to go all-in here, because once he buys these pants and puts them on theres no going back, said onlooker Jim Hardy, noting that while it may have taken some chutzpah for the shopper to pick up the red pants and maybe even try them on in a fitting room, hes going to need to sack up big time if hes planning on sporting them to a social gathering, much less to the office. Let me tell you, if this fuckers not planning on going balls-to-the-wall with a white polo, navy blazer, and a pair of brown loafers with no socks, he better just put those pants back where found em, settle on some classic cords, and just move on already. This is the big leagues were talking about here. At press time, the man had already proven he didnt have the stones by asking the cashier about the stores return policy. 
2	FBI Has Been Monitoring The Mosque That Obama Visited Because Of Radical Ties President Obama sparked controversy when he decided to spend a day visiting a mosque in Baltimore. As if that werent enough, new information is coming to light that makes the particular mosque he shows to support even more shocking. According to reports, Obamas mosque of choice has been under surveillance by the FBI since 2010 due to the radical activities of one of their Muslim members. President Obama is conferring legitimacy on a Baltimore mosque the FBI just a few years ago was monitoring as a breeding ground for terrorists, after arresting a member for plotting to blow up a federal building, Investors Business Daily wrote in a recent editorial piece. The mosque that is hosting the commander in chief, while receiving his historic benediction graduated a terrorist who plotted to blow up a local Army recruiting station, hired an imam who condoned suicide bombings and blames American foreign policy for terrorism, the article from IBD continues. Obama has to be willfully blind not to see all these ties to terror, it concludes. Pamela Geller was also happy to weigh in on the matter. Or maybe he knows all about them and just doesnt careor even actively favors this activity, she commented. Those are the choices: he is either stupid, which he isnt, or willfully ignorant, which he is unlikely to be, or simply outright traitorous. Reports indicate that the FBI initiated their surveillance of the Islamic Society of Baltimore when Antonia Martinez was caught plotting to bomb an Army recruitment center. Martinez was later sentenced to 25 years in prison. That was just over three years ago. Its now abundantly clear the White House failed to properly vet the venue, IBD added. What do you think? Is this absolutely absurd? Our security is at serious risk under President Obama.

1	In a decision that senior partner Bob Davis called 'long overdue,' local law firm Davis, Cassini & Snyder confirmed Tuesday its intentions to purchase one of those big leather chairsthe burgundy-colored ones with the gold buttons and the thick, fancy armrestssometime in the upcoming weeks. The chair, with the gold buttons and everything. Despite the prior acquisition of several big wooden legal bookshelves, a half-dozen of those gold-colored desk lamps with the green plastic panels covering the light bulbs, and several portraits of serious-looking lawyers and judges from the 1800s, the office has reportedly lacked a big leather chair since its opening in 2005. 'We are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the chair,' junior partner John Cassini told reporters. 'As a respectable law firm, the office of Davis, Cassini & Snyder needs an expensive leather chair that doesn't swivel, raise, or lower, but just sits there in the office.' Cassini stated that he couldn't describe the exact name or brand of chair he was referring to, but confirmed that he had sat in a similar chair before. He further insisted that, as a registered member of the bar, he would 'definitely know one if [he] saw it,' and that a lot of law offices have them. The decision to purchase the chair, office sources said, came after Bob Davis made a visit to the nearby law firm Berkman & Berkman. Davis reported back to his associates that the rival firm had one of those leather chairs where the material 'poofs out' due to the indents in the fabric, thereby creating what Davis referred to as the chair's signature diamond-shaped leather pouches. 'It also had the gold buttons that embroider the armrests,' said Davis, who later went on to note Berkman & Berkman's recent courtroom success. 'And the [big leather] chair had that claw-foot design on its legs.' 'Great chair,' he added. Davis told reporters that, as senior partner, the final decision on the chair would ultimately go through him, but that he planned to delegate the responsibility of locating the chair to the firm's administrative assistant, Kathy Plaitano. 'I told Kathy that if she is having trouble finding exactly what we want, she should watch The Firm or Philadelphia,' Davis said. 'Those movies definitely have the kind of chairs we're talking about.' According to members of the legal team, even if the chair Plaitano finds fulfills the requirements for both color and seat width, the firm will not, under any circumstance, accept a leather chair that has metal legs, is on wheels, or has a medium-height back. In addition, the attorneys were adamant that any potential client who sits in the chair should 'sink in just a little' so that only the individual's head would be visible if someone was to approach the chair from behind. 'It has to be that kind of chair,' Cassini said. 'We won't settle for anything less.' Though the attorneys unanimously agreed to purchase the chair, concerns have been raised as to the chair's ultimate location in the office. 'If I know Davis, he'll want to put it in the waiting room next to the fern,' Snyder said. 'But if it's the kind of chair I'm thinking of, I think we should put it across from my desk to give my clients a nice place to sit during their appointments.' Davis and Cassini refused to respond to Snyder's statement, but when pressed for comment stated that it might be in the law firm's best interest to purchase more than one chair. 
3	The Economic Depression In Greece Deepens As Tsipras Prepares To Deliver The Great NoBy Michael Snyder Despite years of intervention from the rest of Europe, Greece is a bigger economic mess today than ever. Greek GDP has shrunk by 26 percent since 2008, the national debt to GDP ratio in Greece is up to a staggering 175 percent, and the unemployment rate is up above 25 percent. Greek stocks are crashing and Greek bond yields are shooting into the stratosphere. Meanwhile, the banking system is essentially on life support at this point. 400 million euros were pulled out of Greek banks on Monday alone. No matter what happens in the coming days, many believe that it is now only a matter of time before capital controls like we saw in Cyprus are imposed. Over the past several months, there have been endless high level meetings over in Europe regarding this Greek crisis, but none of them have fixed anything. And even Jeroen Dijsselbloem admits that the odds of anything being accomplished during the meeting of eurozone finance ministers on Thursday is very small Some officials believe Thursdays meeting of eurozone finance ministers will be perhaps the last chance to stop Greece sliding into default and towards leaving the euro. However the president of the so-called Eurogroup, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, said the chance of an accord was very small. And it is certainly not just Dijsselbloem that feels this way. At this point pretty much everyone is resigned to the fact that there is not going to be a deal any time soon. The following comes fromReuters People are getting anxious on both sides. Athens expects Brussels to move. And Brussels expects Athens to move. And its stuck, said a senior EU diplomat, who declined to be named. Its very dangerous, and we may have an accident. EU officials insist that it is Greece that needs to back down, but the Greeks have no intention of backing down. Just consider the words of Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras. He says that he is not afraid to deliver the great no to the rest of Europe Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said hes ready to assume responsibility for the consequences of rejecting an unfair deal with creditors. In a sign that hes being taken at his word, officials from the Netherlands, Portugal and Germany said they were bracing for a breakdown in talks that could roil the currency bloc. With a viable solution the Greek government recently elected by the Greek people will bear the cost of carrying through, Tsipras told reporters in Athens on Wednesday. Without one, we will assume the responsibility to say the great no to a continuation of the catastrophic policies. To me, that sounds like a man that is not going to back down. And to call it the great no is not an exaggeration at all. I think that he realizes that this great no will unleash financial chaos all over Europe. For Greece, the consequences would likely be catastrophic. At least that is whatthe Bank of Greece thinks Failure to reach an agreement would, on the contrary, mark the beginning of a painful course that would lead initially to a Greek default and ultimately to the countrys exit from the euro area and most likely from the European Union. A manageable debt crisis, as the one that we are currently addressing with the help of our partners, would snowball into an uncontrollable crisis, with great risks for the banking system and financial stability. An exit from the euro would only compound the already adverse environment, as the ensuing acute exchange rate crisis would send inflation soaring. All this would imply deep recession, a dramatic decline in income levels, an exponential rise in unemployment and a collapse of all that the Greek economy has achieved over the years of its EU, and especially its euro area, membership. From its position as a core member of Europe, Greece would see itself relegated to the rank of a poor country in the European South. And no matter how confident the Germans appear to be right now, the truth is that a Greek debt default would be a complete and total nightmare for the rest of Europe as well. The euro would drop like a rock, stocks would crash all over Europe and bond yields would go crazy. And that is just for starters. So we desperately need to see a deal. But with each passing day that seems less and less likely. In fact, a Greek parliament committee on public debt just released a new report containing their preliminary findings. This report is not legally binding, but it does show the mood of the Greek parliament, and what this report says is absolutely stunning. It concluded that the Greek government is under absolutely no obligation to repay its debts. Just check out the following excerptfrom the report All the evidence we present in this report shows that Greece not only does not have the ability to pay this debt, but also should not pay this debt first and foremost because the debt emerging from theTroikas arrangements is a direct infringement on the fundamental human rights of the residents of Greece. Hence, we came to the conclusion that Greece should not pay this debt because it is illegal, illegitimate, and odious. In other words, what this report is saying is that the Greek government should never pay back any of this debt. That certainly is not going to sit well with the officials from the EU and the IMF. And what happens if other financially troubled nations in the eurozone decide that their debts are illegal and odious as well? Globally, there are more than 76 trillion dollars worth of bonds floating around out there, and the yields on those bonds are based on the assumption that they will always be paid off. If nations such as Greece start defaulting, that will throw the entire global financial system into a state of tremendous chaos. Of course the Greek financial system is already in a state of tremendous chaos. At this point, many believe that it is just a matter of time before capital controls are imposed. This is something that I have warned about in the past. The following description of what capital controls in Greece may look like comes fromBloomberg No one knows the specifics for Greece, but heres what happened in Cyprus: ATM withdrawals were capped at 300 euros a person per day. Transfers of more than 5,000 euros abroad were subject to approval by a special committee. Companies needed documents for each payment order, with approvals for over 200,000 euros determined by available liquidity. Parents couldnt send children that were studying abroad more than 5,000 euros a quarter. Cypriots traveling abroad could carry no more than 1,000 euros with them. Termination of fixed-term deposits was prohibited, while payments with credit and debit cards were capped at 5,000 euros. Checks couldnt be cashed. Since most Greeks do not want to have their money trapped in the banks, they have been pulling out cash and hiding it at home at a record breaking pace. This is precisely what we would expect to see when a nation is on the vergeof total financial collapse Everybodys doing it, said Joanna Christofosaki, in front of a Eurobank cash dispenser in the leafy Athens neighbourhood of Kolonaki. Our friends have all done it. Nobody wants their money to be worthless tomorrow. Nobody wants to be unable to get at it. A researcher in the archaeology department at the Academy of Athens, Christofosaki said she knew plenty of people who had 10,000 somewhere at home and plenty of others who chose to keep their stash at the office. Was she among them? If I was, I certainly wouldnt tell you. As I wrote about yesterday, I believe that this is the beginning of the next great European financial crisis. Eventually, it will spread all over the planet. Unfortunately, even though global debt levels have never been higher and the signs of the coming financial implosion are all around us, most people have been lulled into a false sense of security. Most people just assume that everything is going to turn out okay somehow. The second half of this year is going to be much different from the first half, but most people will not be convinced until everything starts completely falling apart. By then, it may be far too late to do anything about it. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

And here we have Jessica Vanessa, a professional twerker that makes 6 figures off of shaking her butt. She exclusively does videos, and they are six seconds each. Her videos are filmed all over the place. In her living room, the parking lot, beach, against the wall the list goes on and on. Her videos make her hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, and that number only goes up as she gets more and more followers.

3	Watch out: genetically engineered Ebola vaccineJon Rappoport And shockingly, that point is relevant to the Ebola vaccine, because as yet I have seen no evidence that Ebola virus has ever been properly identified in any human being. Therefore, there is no evidence anyone needs protection from the virus. As I reported several days ago, chemist David Rasnick, PhD, has examined published literature on Ebola, and has concluded: I have examined in detail the literature on isolation and EMs [EM: electron microscope pictures] of both Ebola and Marburg viruses. I have not found any convincing evidence that Ebola virus (and for that matter Marburg) has been isolated from humans. There is certainly no confirmatory evidence of human isolation. Therefore, the need for an Ebola vaccine (even if you believe in the theory of vaccination) is completely unproven. The vaccine would, if it worked, protect against a virus never conclusively IDed in a human. Bombshell? You bet. Rasnick stated that it appears the Ebola virus has been extracted from animalsin which case, some element of the virus could be placed in a vaccine. Which element of the virus will that be? According to researchers at the US National Institutes of Health and two companiesCrucell and GSKtwo genes from the Ebola virus will be inserted in the vaccine. Thats all. Just two genes. These genes will be carried, in the vaccine, by another virus, most likely a chimpanzee adenovirus. This chimp virus, researchers claim, will not reproduce in the body. It will simply unload its two-gene cargo and fade away. Then, the two Ebola genes will somehow bring about the emergence of an Ebola-related protein, and the human immune system will produce antibodies against that protein. Thus, immunity to Ebola will be created. To say this will produce genuine immunity is highly speculative. And again, since there is no proof anyone has ever isolated Ebola virus from a human, the production of antibodies is irrelevant. Its like saying, Ill sell you parts for your Chevy, even though you dont own a Chevy. What about the dangers of the Ebola vaccine? First, there are the usual toxic chemicals present in vaccines: for example, formaldehyde, polysorbate. We arent being told which chemicals (and metals) the vaccine will contain. Second, what guarantee do we have that the carrier chimp virus wont reproduce and proliferate in the body? Were told its not a problem. Thats what they always say. Vaccines are wonderful, safe and effective. Barbara Loe Fisher, of the National Vaccine Information Center, reasonably estimates that there are 100,000 to 1.2 million adverse reactions to vaccines in the US every year. I would call that a problem. Third, the process of genetic engineering, by which the two Ebola genes are inserted in the chimp viruswho can predict this will be done in a uniform and safe way, with every Ebola vaccine batch? As a standard of comparison, consider the fact that the insertion of genes into GMO crops is done in shotgun style. The genes arent always placed into the same positions in the GMO seeds. Therefore, the ensuing effects are random. I love random effects in my body. I look forward to them. Fourth, from what I can gather so far, the Ebola-related protein that is produced by the vaccine in the human body is somewhat mysterious. That is, there are several different explanations as to exactly how the protein is created. Not a comforting sign, unless youre fine with the idea of your body suddenly housing a protein that wasnt there before. And finally, who knows what extra elements could be added to the vaccine? Right now, for example, a controversy has erupted In Kenya about a tetanus vaccine, which is being injected widely. Catholic priests in Kenya claim theyve sent samples to labs, and the results show the vaccine has been altered, in order to cause miscarriages. The addition of HCG, a pregnancy hormone, induces the body to attack pregnancy and terminate it. Much documentation exists to show such vaccines have been extensively researched at Rockefeller labs and other facilities. As everyone should know by now, the Ebola vaccines under development have never been tested on a wide range of human beings. The clinical trials have used small numbers of people. This is a huge red flag. When the Ebola vaccine is released, you can be sure that severe injuries and deaths will be explained away. He already had a latent case of Ebola disease. We didnt know that. He died from the disease, not the vaccine. It was a bad batch. The batch was small. Its been confiscated. Were sure the vaccine is safe. He had an undiagnosed and undiscovered severe immune-deficiency, which would have killed him in short order If there is good news here, its the fact that many eyeballs will be focused on the Ebola vaccine. Im not talking about government researchers or researchers for vaccine manufacturers. Im talking about independent investigators and private citizens who already know about the dangers of vaccines. They will form their own informal reporting system. Governments and vaccine companies who are touting the Ebola vaccine understand this. And they remember, for instance, the Swine Flu disaster of 1976: the swine-flu vaccination program was one of its (CDC) greatest blunders. It all began in 1976 when CDC scientists saw that a virus involved in a flu attack outbreak at Fort Dix, N.J., was similar to the swine-flu virus that killed 500,000 Americans in 1918. Health officials immediately launched a 100-million dollar program to immunize every American. But the expected epidemic never materialized, and the vaccine led to partial paralysis in 532 people. There were 32 deaths. U.S. News and World Report, Joseph Carey, October 14, 1985, p. 70, How Medical Sleuths Track Killer Diseases. Stay alert.

3	The US Government Has an Internet Killswitch and Its None of Your BusinessBy Derrick Broze EPIC has been fighting since 2011 to release the details of the program, which is known as Standard Operating Procedure 303. EPIC writes, On March 9, 2006, the National Communications System (NCS) approved SOP 303, however it was never released to the public. This secret document codifies a shutdown and restoration process for use by commercial and private wireless networks during national crisis. EPIC continues, In a 2006-2007 Report, the Presidents National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee(NSTAC) indicated that SOP 303 would be implemented under the coordination of the National Coordinating Center (NCC) of the NSTAC, while the decision to shut down service would be made by state Homeland Security Advisors or individuals at DHS. The report indicates that NCC will determine if a shutdown is necessary based on a series of questions. Despite EPICs defeat at the hands of the Supreme Court, the four-year court battle yielded a heavily redacted copy of Standard Operating Procedure 303. The fight for transparency regarding SOP 303 began shortly after a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) officer in San Francisco shot and killed a homeless man named Charles Hill on July 3, 2011. The shooting sparked massive protests against BART throughout July and August 2011. During one of these protests, BART officials cut off cell phone service inside four transit stations for three hours. This kept anyone on the station platform from sending or receiving phone calls, messages, or other data. In July 2012, EPIC submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the DHS seeking the full text of Standard Operating Procedure 303; the full text of the predetermined series of questions that determines if a shutdown is necessary; and any executing protocols related to the implementation of Standard Operating Procedure 303, distributed to DHS, other federal agencies, or private companies. After the DHS fought the FOIA releases, a district court in Washington, D.C. ruled in EPICs favor, but that ruling was later overturned by the court of appeals. The appeals court told EPIC the government was free to withhold details of the plan under the Freedom of Information Act because the information might endanger the public. In 2015, the digital rights group asked the Supreme Court to review the ruling by the federal appeals court. With the Supreme Courts refusal to address EPICs petition, the issue seems to have reached a dead-end. The American people are (once again) left in the dark regarding the inner-workings of another dangerous and intrusive government program. It is only through the hard work of activists and groups like EPIC that we are at least aware of the existence of this program but knowing bits and pieces about the protocol is not enough. In order to combat such heavy-handed measures, we need to have access to the governments own documents. Hopefully, there is already a whistleblower preparing to release these details. What we do with the information we do have is up to each of us as individuals. We can sit back and watch the United States further devolve into a militarized police and surveillance state or we can spread this information, get involved locally, and create new systems outside of the current paradigm of control and exploitation.

The DHS has nothing to do with securing the safety of the homeland or its citizens. Its purpose is to insure the security of the government gangsters in DC and elsewhere. Thats a part of the fundamental change from America to Amerika thats currently well underway. Govt. of, by, and for the thugs. Correct rivahmitch! Meet the modern GESTAPO yall! This is more about Big Government having the edge over We The People just in case we revolt against a tyrannical government, that will look to cutting of our communications. Among other things big government spend time with in preparation to control the populace. We have lost many rights and freedoms since 911, when we allowed the Patriot Act that is more against Americans, than any of our enemies. Think about this: There can be only one reason on earth why our own government would suddenly want to kill our internet and cell phone service in an emergencyA revolution, or what they perceive is the threat of one. This of course means they fear us, and that it a good thing. What they probably dont understand, though, is that if they were to implement such a drastic measure they just might trigger that very thing they fear most: A massive armed response. And guess what? We could and would manage just fine with CB and Short Wave radios. We will survive. We will prevail. Death to Tyrants and Traitors. Well said my friend lets stay ready Only TYRANTS, DESPOTS, AND CRIMINALS SEEK TO CUT COMMUNICATIONS IN TIMES OF CRISIS!! Think about it and PREPARE TO ENFORCE YOUR LIBERTY, FREEDOM, AND SOVEREIGNTY as God-Created Natural Persons!! Remember thisThe Civil Common Law clearly states that the HIGHEST form of Life on Planet Earth IS the God-created Natural Person. Therefore YOU have EVERY RIGHT to ENFORCE your FREEDOM, and YOUR SOVEREIGNTY. Knowing enough about Militay Como, Id have to report a security break thru isis or similar undertakings are in place now!! Only time will tell when this Kenyon shows his real intent!! TOTAL CONTROL OF THE POPULATION IS THE MAIN GOAL IMPERIALISM POLICY. I thought Obama said this would be the most transparent Administration ever was he talking about black and cover up Maybe he don,t know what the word meant? and i thought that the Sumpreme Court work for the people and not the government too I guess I was wrong too on that Whaaaaaaaaaaaat time to look for some low expense shortwave radio options. In an emergency the gov has little to say about it and I dont live in DC or the territories anyway so its out of their jurisdiction (as well as their SCOTUS and Congress all territorial). It is good to remember, even if you believe they have jurisdiction the constitution is limiting Washington, not the American people. I have some old CB I hope that they will work if this happens As widespread as this document has to be I am disappointed it has not already been leaked in its entirety. Howz about a kill-switch for the Federal Government?and every conservative has one. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Thomas Jefferson 
3	Flu Vaccines to be Forced on Healthcare Workers? Citing Patient HarmLisa Garber One of the first concepts anyone pursuing a career in medicine learns is primum non nocere, Latin for first, do no harm. Flegel wrote on October 30th that because healthcare workers may contract the flu and spread it to patients, particularly those in fragile states or with compromised immune systems, It is time that all people who work in a health care institution be vaccinated. By Flegels logic, everyone benefits from his idea. He claims that vaccines are effective and compulsory vaccination would mean fewer people are infected with the flu, medical institutions lose fewer man-hours from sick employees, and fewer patients in delicate conditions die. His logic, however, is flawed and littered with benefits not to frail patients but to pharmaceutical companies. Danger of Vaccines Although the chances of developing the feared deadly nerve disease Guillain-Barre syndrome from a vaccine is about 1 in 100,000, there are multiple side-effects from flu shots that were better off without. In one example, a study published in the PLOS One Open Journal found that systemic autoimmunity appears to be the inevitable consequence of over-stimulating the hosts immune system by repeated immunization with antigen, to the levels that surpass systems self-organize criticality. In other words, vaccines stimulate autoimmune diseases. Healthier Ways to Live If Flegel believes healthcare workers owe it to the history of medicine and to all medical patients, do no harm must be implementedbut not by pushing vaccines. (Theres a reason half of all healthcare personnel in Hong Kong refuse to get the jab.) Instead, healthcare professionals must be held responsible for their own health. Anyone can cut the risk of developing the flu by42 percent!with even a low dose of vitamin D. Just fifteen minutes in the summer sun without sunscreen and vitamin D supplements in the sunless winter months could save every medical institution more money than proposed by Flegel. There are myriad other methods for flu prevention. Its our Choice Its important that flu vaccination remains a choice and that no one is bullied by the likes of Flegel or Big Pharma into being jabbed against their will. Here, you can learn how to avoid supposedly mandatory vaccination. Well leave you with Flegels ominous suggestion:To justify compulsory vaccination, there must be an outbreak of serious illness.

3	Free the Weed: Marijuana Legalization Favored in US, CanadaPhillip Smith In Canada, support for legalization was strongest in the Atlantic provinces (64%) and British Columbia (60%), while in something of a surprise, in the US, support was strongest in the Northeast (61%), followed by the West (56%). The US West has traditionally had the highest levels of support for legalization. In both countries there was majority support for marijuana legalization in every region. The provinces or regions with the lowest level of support for legalization were Alberta (50%) in Canada, and the US Midwest (50%) and South (51%). In Canada, men (64%) are more likely than women (50%) to call for the legalization of cannabis, while there is no wide gender gap in the United States (55% male, 53% female). The bulk of support for legal marijuana comes from respondents aged 18-to-34 in the United States (65%) and those aged 35-to-54 in Canada (61%). Two-thirds (66%) of both Canadians and Americans believe marijuana will be legal within 10 years. While both Canadians and Americans agree that the drug war is a failure, they remain unwilling to contemplate the legalization of drugs other than marijuana. Support for legalizing cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, or methamphetamines didnt rise above 11% for any of those drugs in either country. The poll was an online survey of 1,005 Canadians and 1,002 Americans conducted November 19 and 20. The results were weighted to ensure a representative sample of the two countrys adult populations. The margin of error is +/- 3.1%. Two US states, Colorado and Washington, voted to legalize marijuana in November. Legislators in at least four more plan to offer up legalization bills next year, while activists in Montana are working toward putting a legalization initiative on the 2014 ballot.

3	Camp Hero: Secret Site of the Montauk Project ExperimentationBy Aaron and Melissa Dykes Today its open as a park, but this place is no kind of park weve ever been to. From broken glass, crumbling buildings and an eerie emptiness devoid of visitors, something seemingly does not add up at Camp Hero State Park, though it does leave an impression of the secretive military base and satellite monitoring station that once was. The massive FPS-35 SAGE radar installation, once used for air defense early warning (and perhaps other things), is a stunning relic, and the last of its kind anywhere in the country, even as it slowly falls apart in the salty air of the Atlantic coast. Something else is in the air, too, but what? There is more to the story, as you might imagine. Many say there is still secret work going on in the underground and there may be reasons to substantiate these stories. Truthstream will report more on what we found in the future. 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 Please check the park benches and the portapotties. 
3	Trump Is President: Now What?By Brandon Turbeville But while we may take some temporary relief in knowing that we avoiding the absolute worst-case scenario, it is time to ask, what now? We are faced with Donald Trump as President in 2017. So what do we do? Join the Trump team and become a cult follower? Support him until he does something terrible or commits a series of terrible decisions? Start attacking him immediately? Certainly, complacency should not be an option. Simply sitting back because the outcome was not as bad as it could have been is entirely useless and counterproductive. First, it is imperative that activists and people of good will must recognize that a Trump victory is not necessarily a victory for the American people. A Hillary defeat, although positive, does not equal a win for America, at least not in those simplistic terms. Now is a time for organization and action. selfnewss, activist organizations, and all people of good will must immediately begin to prepare themselves for a new phase in a battle that they have been (or at least should have been) fighting all along. They must begin to put aside petty differences with one another and begin looking at areas of common concern. They must continue their individual battles but must form alliances with one another in order to fight in a united front under a common umbrella. Whether the cause is related to guns, the drug war, war, GMOs, or some other issue, these individuals and organizations must come to understand the concept of enlightened mutual self interest. Many of these groups currently do not work together over petty squabbles or simple laziness. We need individuals who are willing to establish connections with these groups and act as a uniting factor between them. This, of course, includes individual activists as well as groups. Essentially, we need someone who will be the unifying factor by establishing contacts, finding policies that unify these groups, and helping unite them (acting as the central figure) in current fights for (or against) legislation and for strategically offensive legislative action. These individuals will need to be active and willing to engage in dialogue with widely varying groups, remaining respectful of their perspectives and personal agreements/disagreements with some of their policies. Eventually, these coalitions can be brought together across the barriers of their issues for demands of interest to all. As for the demands, any movement that seeks to bring about positive change must have a list of requirements in the form of demands or else the movement itself is dead from the start. A list of demands and a set of steady principles are absolutely necessary to the success and the continued life of any movement. For those struggling with the idea of what demands should be central to any resistance movement going forward, please see my article, A Real New Deal For America 43 Points. Where Trump and his administration are willing to forward any points of our agenda, we should be there to push him along. Where he is willing to forward the agenda of the Anglo-American system, we must be willing to fight him tooth and nail. We must also remember that the magnitude of what we face as a people is much bigger than a President, as should be clear to anyone who is even slightly informed should be aware. Regardless, it is time that the American people become active and engaged and that activists no longer sit idly by, navel gazing and castrated by egos and selfish interests, but that they immediately begin to join forces and fight for the change they want to see.

Image Credit Will Trump supporters get solidly behind movements to unwind the surveillance state, and back the 4th Amendment Congressional caucus?? There are a lot of constitutional test on the table for Trump and the Trumpeteers including the First, Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendmentsscary stuff. Feet to the fire!. What about the internet and ICANN? Thats critically important, the fight against censorship. Im more concerned (but not at all surprised) that Trump is A-listing Jamie Dimon as Treasury Secretary. Banksters, meet the old boss same as Even Sanders kowtowed to the bankers by derailing an early version of an Audit The Fed bill. Giuliani tapped to be DHS secretary. Were never given real choices at that level. Trump wasnt a choice either. The Name Game is his signal to his globalist masters that hes fully on board and ready to fulfill his mission. I cannot believe so many brain dead people fall for the same ploy, election after stupid election. So freaking frustrating. One bit of good news: the Obama administration is giving up on the Pacific trade deals. Whats the the catch, huh? lol Must be that the Russia/China/US partnership trumps the trade deal. hahaha! That old Trump Card thing rears its ugly head again. People want world peace so bad theyll fall right in with it, not realizing what it will really mean for the globalists and the planet. Bulls eye. You got their number, OS. Yea, arent I special. Not. I want world peace just as much as anyone but I will be unable to make anyone (but you, perhaps) understand what is really going down. No one will be able to stop it because everyone will be totally on board. I think it will happen pretty fast once Mr. Casino moves into the Oval Orifice. The Peace with Putin Parade will serve to hide all the other surprises they have planned. We do what we can in a full fledged Matrix. That we have the temerity to resist the juggernaut and speak truth to power is a reflection of the forces within being suppressed. So very true. The key at this critical point is to step outside the matrix for good and for real, every moment. Thats how you can see with clairvoyance, which is really just the ability to see all possible outcomes and pick the one most likely to occur. The timeline between 3D and 5D has already split, Im operating on the latter 99% of the time. The other 1% Im stopping by to talk to you and maybe wake up a few sleepy heads while doing so. People have already chosen which timeline they are on. I agree and have entered a feeling of calm separation. While I hope deconstructing deceptions helps others, the process serves my need to keep the flotsam away from my clarity of vision. Wow you even sound different. Your energy has shifted. Do you feel the timeline split then? This is very exciting stuff, dont you think? Yes. As an amateur, Im nowhere near your level of perception. Its a strange feeling knowing the cluster-, with all of its manifestations, is just around the corner, and simultaneously experience a sense of relief knowing this is not where its at. OMG, youre here! Welcome to New Earth, blue! You are hardly an amateur, youre one of the purest wayshowers on the planet. You stuck to the truth in every word and never faltered. You have my utmost respect and admiration. Now, instead of working to open eyes, our new work is to create the new systems going forward. I started yesterday by giving a guy a few pieces of dirty paper (money) for three cords of firewood. It was a 3D/5D transaction. It happens all the time of course, but this time the energy was totally different. You can burn firewood to stay warm but you cant burn money. hahaha, what a long, strange trip its been. The fun is just beginning! Thank you, OS. Its an honor and a privilege. Great to be able to look unflinchingly at the tapestry of grotesque cages for minds and hearts, not one strand able to infect my spirit. Totally. That calm you feel is Being the Change. You are creating peace by being it. Those choosing to remain on the 3D timeline will continue to create chaos. We have a different mission, when we make a different choice. Anyone can choose peace at any time or they can choose chaos. Thats the timeline split you are feeling in your heart and these are cosmic waves that forward earth evolution. There are many other things happening that are not quite so obvious but they will manifest in you and in your life going forward. RED ALERT: THEY ARE STILL GOING TO STEAL THE ELECTION SUMMARY: They are going to steal Arizona and Michigan, and then use special powers to flip 9 electoral votes away from Trump. THERE IS A REASON WHY THEY HAVE REFUSED TO MAKE THEIR TOTALS OFFICIAL. THIS IS NOT OVER YET. Trump won Arizona. Why has it not been made official? Trump won Michigan. Why has it not been made official? They are calling the counts unofficial, WHY? This could be the answer: The following was posted to a popular forum: I am writing this not to alarm, but to inform. I believe the Cabal is going to attempt to steal the election, and Ill describe how they plan to do it below. With this information I believe we need to bring our force to bear, and prevent what the Cabal is planning. Ive included information below that details actions that you can take to help stop them. There are currently 3 states that have not declared a winner of the presidential election. The states are Arizona, Michigan, and New Hampshire. Ive done some digging. On the Guardians electoral map, checking each precinct, in each state, all precincts are completely reported. There is nothing, therefore, from stopping the officials in those states from declaring a winner. Looking at other sources of information, however, and we get different results. For Arizona shows that 2 precincts are NOT reported. There are 1467 precincts reporting out of 1469. Which is correct? Why hasnt the Secretary of State declared a winner? For Michigan, it appears that all precincts have reported, but still, no winner has been declared. You can go to the NY Times interactive map, and see that they are listing the Trump victory chance at 92%, aka likely not even very likely. And same thing for New Hampshire, 100% of precincts reporting. Still not called. HERE IS THEIR PLAN The Cabal plans to either delay these states then force recounts and find missing ballots and switch all of these states to Hillary. That wont make a big splash in the news because Trump has already won the election. BUT THEN This leaves Trump up by only 9 electoral votes. And they have already created the notion that TRUMP LOST THE POPULAR VOTE SO a majority of Americans wanted Hillary. They will force 9 (going to House,Ryan selects Hillary) or 10 Electors to switch their votes to Hillary (bribes, or the popular vote was for Hillary, threat of death maybe photos of the other people Hillary has killed). AND THEN Hillary is declared as President. The media will say this is shocking, but it is only fair as she did win the SO, what to do? One, we need this thread pinned. Then we need to start spreading this news so people are aware of this, so this is not surprising when they execute their plans. Then, people need to contact the offices of the Secretary of State below, and find out information about why the Secretaries havent declared a winner. We need these state to declare a winner. Trump will go up by 27 electoral votes, and it would be too difficult to force 36 Electors to flip their votes to Hillary. Weve been celebrating, relaxing, appreciating a rest from the exhaustion of this election. BUT IT IS NOT OVER. Lets do our duty and force this issue now. We cannot let them steal this election. We have won but it ISNT OFFICIAL YET. GET TO WORK.

Love the clear instructions on how to proceed. Have you checked with the Federal Election Commission yet? They also bend to pressure. See Greg Palast. Now what? Trump is already A-listing Jamie Dimon for treasury secretary. Amerika has been punked. Again. Now what? Well, being at his inauguration on January 20th he wont be swearing allegiance to Yahwehs moral law as supreme, his form of government will be just another contemporary instance of man doing what is right in his own eyes, per Judges 21:25. Judges 21:25 is what today is commonly known as humanism, aka We the Peopleism. For more, see online Chapter 3 The Preamble: WE THE PEOPLE vs. YAHWEH of Bible Law vs. the United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective. Click on my picture, then our website. Go to our Online Books page, click on the top entry, and scroll down to Chapter 3. Then find out how much you REALLY know about the Constitution as compared to the Bible. Take our 10-question Constitution Survey in the right-hand sidebar and receive a complimentary copy of a book that EXAMINES the Constitution by the Bible. Why cant you comprehend that there are governments formed by men on the earth that have laws made by men and that the Bible doesnt prohibit either the government or its laws. You are a total wackadoodle if you think Christians are going to join you in your campaign to abolish the U.S. Constitution just because you say that God wants it done. News flash KA, God has not told us through the Bible that He wants us to switch our government to a Christian dictatorship. Your interpretations of biblical passages are devoid of inspiration and honest intellectual effort. Grundune is a Mormon who rejects the Christ of the Bible and the Word of God (Psalm 19:7-11; John 1:1-3, 14; 1 Timothy 3:16; 2 John 1:7-11; etc.) and whose Doctrine and Covenants demand he defend the Constitution as divinely inspired (DC 101:80, etc.), much the same as the Book of Mormon. He knows if the Constitution is exposed for the biblically seditious document it is, that the entire Mormon house of cards comes tumbling down. Tragically, many Christians are more inclined to follow Doctrine and Covenants than they are the Bible when it comes to the Constitution. As I said about BREXIT, under no circumstances will the Globalists allow the will of the people. BREXITS death is being created/negotiated as I write. What makes you think Trump isnt a globalist? I will not surrender this country (USA) or its people to the false song of globalism. Donald J.Trump, 2016 Oh, well then that settles it. Presidential hopefuls never lie or make false promises. I guess you havent heard the first thing our newly-elected billionaire announced is that he is considering Jamie Dimon, a globalist bankster, for Treasury Secretary. This is the signal that All is well among the bankster and billionaire class and Casino Americano is still open for business. Yes, that is highly disturbing. But considering his election and the top issue for his election success was/is Globalism and its various economic and immigration offshoots I think if he fails in following through then things could get messy. Like Brexit his election was predicated on anti-Globalism sentiment in all its forms. (immigration and economic etc) Pro-American (America first) policies are not compatible with Globalism. Well I dont actually agree that the top issue of this election was globalism because the average voting public doesnt understand what globalism really means. Theyre more concerned with jobs, Obamacare, and other day-to-day issues. He will not fail to follow through, he never intended to follow through, thats what the Jamie Dimon clue was all about. The globalists put Clinton and Trump in the running and the latter won because once Hillary became a physical liability, his election was assured by the globalists minion Wikileaks, who dumped all those damning Clinton emails at the final hour. Trump is the globalists Trump Card. All went according to plan, and will continue to do so. Next up Trump will make peace with Putin, a Russia/China/USA Pact will be created, and were on our way to fast track globalism. I tried to warn people for months but, like I said, theyre more concerned with building walls and other such nonsense. Too bad so few people play chess anymore. The writing was on the wall if a person can look past what theyre going to watch on TV after dinner. Good wrap up! Im hearing crickets. Haha there are still some sleepy heads worth waking up. A lot of people felt a distinct shift the day after the election, a kind of release of pent up angst they were carrying, followed by a 11/11 energy portal yesterday. Next up is the supermoon on 11/14, more energy shifting will take place then, and then the big push on solstice. Surf the waves as they pass through you. My thoughts exactly. The past ~2 months psychic energies have been mega intense for me, reaching a crescendo in the week before the election. A lot of people reaching out like never before. Some surprising breakthroughs too. Looking forward to the supermoon, full moons being a special energetic connection for blue, moon goddess. Heres to surfing! Not serf-ing! LOL I agree with you.Jobs and immigration of course were the issues and they are Globalist issues to those who appreciate that. Anyway I do agree with you, its just Im not speaking libertarian or anarchist on this forum/article. The truth is, it all has to crumble. Yes, it all has to crumble so we can rebuild. This will be done on a different timeline. But you should speak your truth here and everywhere because people need the truth from those who know it. I am a happy Trump supporter but he should tread carefully with notions of a landslide mandate. Fewer whites voted for him than for Romney and 1.7 million fewer blacks voted for Hillary than for Obama. He won because the Congressional Black Caucus historically competes against itself in elections. Obama did the heavy lifting to get out the black vote for himself in 2008 and 2012 but not sure how much the CBC did to help him. One things for sure; the CBC did not get off their duffs to get out the black for anyone but themselves in 2016. Had the CBC got out the black vote, they would have carried FL, NC, PA and WI and HRC would be President Elect. Even though I am elated that Trump won, Im cautious about what it really means besides the GOP is in charge. This was not a bigoted whitelash voting for Trump, its a blacklash not voting for HRC. Trump will be CEO/President of US inc when he shakes hands with USSC Chief Justice Roberts after taking the Oath of Office for that position, and not a moment sooner. Until then, Clinton (et al) will do what they can to take it away. She never conceded, as she never spoke that term in her speech the following day. Tramp, sorry Trump, is not the president. The Electoral College has not voted and he has not been sworn in. WAKE the frell up sheeple Its a good plan Brandon, or (as of now) a good idea. Exactly. That will be our best litmus test as to how aggressive the individual lock down presents itself and whether push back is able to create friction. Thanks.I appreciate the link. Just to be clear, I do realize that the US Government is also still compromised by enemies both foreign and domestic. Kingdom Ambassador is an anti-American, anti-U.S. Constitution activist, possibly funded by Soros because he appears to be in consonance with groups like Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street and the current Rent-a-Mob actors. He wants to abolish the U.S. Constitution and switch our government to a Christian dictatorship. Now what is the coming PLANNED WW3! The entire government are evil treasonous criminals.

3	This Minnesota Mom Could Go To Jail For Saving Her Son With Cannabis OilJoe Martino I broke the law, but I did it to save my son, Angela Brown said. She had traveled to Colorado to obtain the cannabis oil and brought it back to Minnesota where it is illegal. She administered the Cannabis oil safely to her son and the results were amazing. Her Sons Accident Angela Browns son Trey was a healthy kid, but a baseball accident in 2011 led to a build-up of pressure inside of his head. He was hit with a line drive to the head causing bleeding in his brain. At first, doctors were not sure if he was going to survive. They chose to induce a medical coma. When Trey finally awoke, he didnt appear to be the same kid according to his mother. I cry like every day before I go to bed, like my brain is about to blow up, cause there is so much pressure. Trey said. He began dealing with chronic pain, depression and difficult to control outbursts. His mother searched everywhere to try and help treat the effects of his injury. They went through 18 different medications and none of them worked. Treys mother felt that the effects of the medications even made her son suicidal. Then they found cannabis oil and everything was starting to turn around. Cannabis Oil Cannabis oil has been making news and headlines for a couple years in ways we may not expect. Cancer and Alzheimer treatments, helping to reduce seizures and replacing potentially harmful medications for many people. Cannabis, although holding a negative stigma, can be seen as a natural miracle substance in a way. It may hold the power to treat and potentially cure a lot of peoples serious diseases. In the case of Trey, cannabis oil helped to treat and bring quality of life back in a situation where all else was tried and didnt work. It stopped the pain and stopped the muscle spasms, Trey said. It was helping me go to school until it then got taken away and then school was really hard again. It was a miracle in a bottle.Angela Brown But Its Illegal In Many Places The miracle in a bottle didnt last for Angela and her son. When Treys teacher asked how he was doing better in school suddenly, Angela mentioned the oil. Well, I gave him an oil that wed gotten from Colorado, its derived from a marijuana plant. And then you could feel the tension in the room. It only took a week for the sheriffs department to confiscate the oil. Later, county officials charged Angela with child endangerment which required child protection to get involved. If she is convicted of her charges she could face up to two years in jail and $6000 in fines. Its asinine, I didnt hurt my son; I was trying to prevent him from being hurt. CBS News, who attained the interview with the family, took the time to reach out to the county prosecutor, law enforcement and Treys school district. All declined any form of interview about the case. The final killer in this story is that in May, Minnesota became the 22nd state to approve specific forms of medicinal marijuana. But the law doesnt go into effect until 2015. So, although this substance is already recognized as something that will become legal very soon, helping her son get better is still a crime. Why Do We Deny Things That Work? You might ask yourself why this type of thing could even happen. Are we really that disconnected as a society? Sure one could argue we dont have the necessary data to state whether or not cannabis oil could have negative effects over time, but the crazy thing is we do have the data that states our medications we so often prescribe have nasty side effects, even after short periods of use. So why is one illegal and the other not? The easy answer is due to social conditioning and stigma. The deeper answer could go into the realm of business, profit and control. It is often argued that many aspects of the medical system are set up to create life-long patients versus properly treating and curing patients. Although cannabis is finally becoming legal in more places across the world, there is still resistance when it comes to the potential treatment and curing ability the natural plant can have on many serious diseases. With clinical trials finally on the go with brain cancer patients, the next year of study for cannabis oil could be monumental to the health of our world.

1	LOS ANGELES23-year-old Teach For America participant Jonathan Fitzsimmons remains in critical condition today at CedarsSinai Medical Center after he inspired some of the most troubled, hard-to-reach students in his 11th-grade English class to stab him Monday. 'Before Mr. Fitzsimmons came along, nobody had been dedicated and hardworking enough to show us that we had the power to make a difference,' said student and stabbing participant Gabriel Salazar, who added that Fitzsimmons' innovative teaching games and insistence his students do their homework were just two reasons the class sacrificed their free time after school to inflict nearly 20 wounds to his arms, chest, and side. 'He motivated us to show himthe world, evenwhat we were capable of.' According to a statement released by Fitzsimmons' parents, the 'impact these kids had on our son's life will never be forgotten.' 
2	Obamas ISIS Oil Scandal Deepens As Russia Produces Stunning Photographic Evidence Barack Obama is going to have a tough time talking his way out of this one. According to recent reports, the Russian military has produced significant evidence that ISIS oil is being smuggled into Turkey on an industrial scale. Evidence includes photographs taken by satellite and during aerial missions. This, of course, raises some very important questions. The first is: how involved is the Turkish government in this operation? Further, how much did Obama know and when did he know it? The U.S. military has strong surveillance capabilities, so he must have been aware of this on some scale. The Deputy Defense Minister of Russia, Anatoly Antonov, claims he is aware of three main oil smuggling routes to Turkey, adding that oil enters the territory of Turkey in large quantities via live oil pipelines made up of thousands of oil trucks. Antonoy then went on to implicate President Erdogan directly of running the entire operations. Turkey is the main consumer of the oil stolen from its rightful owners, Syria and Iraq. According to the information weve received, the senior political leadership of the countryPresident Erdogan and his familyare involved in this criminal business, he told reporters. Maybe Im being too blunt, but one can only entrust control over this thieving business to ones closest associates. The cynicism of the Turkish leadership knows no limits, he continued. Look what theyre doing. They went into someone elses country, they are robbing it without compunction. What do you think? Did Obama have information into this operation? 
3	Army Major Says Everythings in Place to Round Up Antiwar Dissenters for Military DetentionBy Justin Gardner Earlier in 2016, a U.S. military official said the U.S. needs and wants Russia as an enemy, which was followed by a litany of falsehoods about Russian threats from elected and appointed officials. A hacked email showed a NATO general plotting conflict with Russia, as American and NATO military forces amass along Russias borders. U.S. intervention in Syria has provided the perfect context for escalating tensions. In its effort to topple the Assad government, the U.S. nurtured the Salafist fundamentalist sect in Syria, which went on to become a major part of ISIS. As U.S. military operations get dangerously close to Syrian or Russian forces (invited there by Assad), any accidental strike could be the spark for World War III. If this were not disturbing enough, the reality in the homeland is downright frightening. Since 9/11, the U.S. military/surveillance state has been able to use and perpetuate the specter of terrorism to dismantle the rights of its citizens. In order to sustain public support for its war-making, the State must suppress dissent. If it cannot achieve this through media control and other subtle means, it is prepared to take more forceful measures. According to retired Army Major Todd Pierce, the U.S. government has everything in place to round up antiwar dissenters and put them in military detention. In an interview with Mondoweiss, Pierce who served in the 349th Psychological Operations Company and the 205th Infantry Brigade as a senior NCO, then as Judge Advocate General until 2012 said: Well lets say we do ramp up a war with Russia and we do get a more active antiwar movement. Say a Donald Trump whos already let everybody know what he thinks of the constitution, or Hillary Clinton. And Obama has said he can kill American citizens. The military goes to them and says hey, these dissenters are going to cause us to lose a war, like the Vietnam war. Lets put them in military detention, lets impose censorship. Everythings in place right now. Pierce is a self-professed former neoconservative until the Gulf War began opening his eyes to the folly of U.S. imperialism, and then he personally witnessed how government began using 9/11 to assume totalitarian control in the name of fighting the tactic of terrorism. He now works as a Guantanamo defense attorney. Pierces fears were further confirmed when West Point began hiring constitutional law teachers who openly professed that we are going to have to start putting law professors into military detention, and take other legal measures because they are subverting our will to fight. Other professors at Harvard and University of Chicago were saying its time to revisit the writings of Carl Schmitt, who wrote actively to justify the Nazis and cement their power in Germany, and spoke of the need for a dictatorship in 1922. The professors even wrote their own book about centralized military authority, called The Executive Unbound. Section 1021 of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act was perhaps the crowning achievement of the totalitarian U.S. State, which removed the right of habeus corpus during this never-ending war on terror meaning that American citizens suspected as belligerents can be subject to military law and indefinite detention. This is not the only possible fate that awaits American citizens should major war break out and government essentially becomes a military junta. Pierce explains how he was in the court when the Obama administration argued they have the power to kill American citizens, as part of a sweeping authoritarianism granted unto itself to take any means necessary in the war on terror. Obama demonstrated this power in 2011 by assassinating Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen in Yemen, and then his 16-year-old son for good measure. Pierce is not alone in his well-informed, deep concerns for the proto-fascist trajectory of the U.S. government. He is part of a Veteran Intelligence group that includes four NSA whistleblowers, who were all arrested by the FBI at gunpoint but were able to avoid prison by turning the tables and showing that the government was making things up. Were a more sophisticated form of what I think has to be called fascism. The term fascism was applied to the way the communists and Stalin got on as well. You bring the term fascist to what it really means, and that ultimately is, ultramilitarism and authoritarianism combined with an expansionist foreign policy. And thats uswhat you can see us becoming. The fascist path is being subtly applied at home, but is already the guiding principle of foreign policy. Doctrine is now in place that says the U.S. can kill any non-U.S. person who it deems to be the enemy, and this is already being carried out with targeted drone strikes in numerous countries where no war has been declared. One of the people [unnamed colleague] I disagree with most is very supportive of what we have been doing. But he sort of slipped one time and said, this military commissions act, its almost like we are exercising martial law over the whole world. We are. We are taking those precedents from our own martial law period over our own territory and applying it to the world. Someone who may be anti drone warfare in Afghanistan or Pakistan is guilty of a war crime, and gets targeted with a drone attack. So we are doing to the Mideast and other parts what the Germans did to Europe in World War 2. They held that any anti-German opinion was basically a war crime. And putting aside the Jewish issuebut non Jewish people who might be opposed to the Nazis invasion, before the Germans invaded, they would be put into military detention. Thats the problem with the idea that youre at war, because you adopt the most extreme understanding of who the enemy is and then justify killing them or putting them in military detention because theyre the enemy. And, as Pierce notes, when you wage a totalitarian foreign policy like that it eventually spills over more and more into your domestic system, and were seeing this in Section 1021 Essential to this creeping fascism is the States mastery of propaganda, while sustaining the illusion that democracy is a meaningful protection against government abuse of power. After the antiwar movement ended the Vietnam War, the military machine ramped up its effort to control the narrative, building on Cointelpro to identify and neutralize subversive elements. At the same time, it looked for ways to glorify the military, such as the Defense Departments collaboration with Hollywood on the movie Top Gun and the infusion of militarism with American football. Fascisms founding principle is how to manipulate the masses. So propaganda was always central to fascism. Totalitarian democracy allows for the form of democracy, but it requires the fascist principle that all the people must be driven to the same ideas. And of course militaristic and authoritarian because you cant have dissenters in a fascist state, or not too strong of a dissident movement. As Pierce notes, American generals would have bankrupted the country pursuing their crusade in Vietnam, had it not been for the antiwar movement. He said that we now face a situation like Communist Russia, which bankrupted itself through perpetual war, or Nazi Germanys failure at Stalingrad, which caused Germans to reconsider their ongoing conquest of Europe. Only, things are more subtle for the United States. Well just slowly erode our economy and again, were doing it already, but we can conceal it, said Pierce. In Nazi Germany, the White Rose antiwar dissenters managed to have a significant influence before and after their execution helping to expose the atrocities Germany was carrying out in Eastern Europe and contributing to the end of Nazi reign. Today, the U.S. government does not need to execute dissenters; it can simply make them disappear through indefinite military detention, using a vast surveillance empire, while the war on terror goes on endlessly. Its those people who see whats wrong that have to try and change the dominant narrative to one of truth, to what is truthfully taking place, said Pierce. Now more than ever, we must expose the truth of U.S. foreign policy the fascist, violent political machinations that are bringing the country to the brink of collapse and the world to the brink of war. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. It was General Wesley Cohen-Clark (biological-adoptive surname) who proposed placing Americans opposing the war on terror in internment camps. If Russia was a real nemesis, Hillary would be the first one shackled wearing a plus size orange jumpsuit for recently transferring classified military technology to Russia as part of her State Dept Russia Reset programin tandem with Bill Gates Microsoft, Boeing, General Electric, et al. Psycho Generals and their fear mongering. Gonna put 150 million Americans in camps?? Men who stare at goats. Imagine the litmus tests to get their stars. Were living the novel 1984. So right, blue. This article is going hyperbolic warp speed on the fear meter. Always appreciate your feedback and insight, OS. Wesly Clark, as Supreme Commander of NATO, committed war crimes against Yugoslavia and destroyed that nation. He is one of many to be tried for war crimes in the near future. Exactly correct. An important reason his 7 nation leak should have been carefully scrutinized as potential non linear propaganda, instead, the pseudo left alt portrayed him as a neocon foe. Contrasting with MacArthur, once he begin to connect the NWO dots he was out. Wesly Clark, as [dual citizen] Supreme Commander of NATO. Lets hope he isnt as hard to bring to justice as dual citizen Roman Polanski is for the FBI. theyve avoided bringing him in for over 40 years and hes a convicted sodomizer/pedophile/rapist. Law enforcement here in Sewer Nation is more adept at AVOIDING catching politically connected dual citizens than catching them. case in point; Wet start McCain called his fellow citizens low life scum and blocked them from handing over DUAL CITIZEN Kissinger to the intl courts on HIS warrant for war crimes. Thats why Trump has so many supporters. They are hoping that he really drains the swamp. It would be nice to the U.S. become a nation of laws not men. Jesus will hold the hand of his own Always be a light that is shininginthedark Instead to me it looks like everything is in place to finally arrest and jail the warmongering criminal neocons because they cant lock up the other 80% of the country who disagrees with all the military adventurism and empire building brought on by these globalist psychopaths. Its nice to see these criminal neocon re-education camps springing up as Lord knows that will be a huge job that will actually save the country by locking these traitorous enemies within up where they cant hurt any more of their countrymen while the re-educational process is underway. When the people fear the govt tyranny reigns. When the govt fears the people freedom and liberty prevail. Which do you prefer again?? The lying and warmongering of the globalist crooked Hillary the establishment favorite and her criminal cohorts? Or the non-politician and outsider status of the non-warmongering candidate Donald Trump to drain the proverbial swamp of political hacks of the military/industrial complex in Washington DC?? Trump wins by a landslide in November The camps arent for the criminals. If you think Trump is some kind of messiah, youre going to get one nasty shock when he gets in the White House. Hes whats called a demagogue or populist, and since when did a billionaire real estate wheeler dealer care about America? Wake up, why not. But you would support something like Clinton, who is known to be a traitor, liar extrordinaire, deceiver and enabler of a Rapist husband and probably a child rapist as well. Ill stand with the Billionaire who has no criminal record, thank you. You libtards will continue to destroy America with your socialist agenda if WTP allow it. Try not to be too hard on those of us who, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, still have hope the synagogue will miss one or, (more accurately), miss killing one who through pang of conscience or true love of country want to fight to return this nation to its owners despite same owners ignorance/timidity/political correctness. Further, when our worst nightmare comes true and its as you say, (and deep inside we all know), just another shill doing Satans Synagogues work, on the PLUS side Sewer Nation, once bled dry and in chaos, will no longer ruin life for all the other nations theyve befouled for their Talmudic owners. There will soon be a new sheriff in town, and he hates goat worshipers. Sounds like a chant of the zombies, without careful thought given to who or what youre cheering for. Trump isnt who you think he is. Listen to him talking about law and order and giving the police more power, as if the poor blue zombies dont have enough power already. Join your local militia. Vee have built F.E.M.A. camps to intern all Americans who believe in the Constitution and the right to bear arms. I propose a war crimes tribunal in the U S. to bring all the war criminals in the U.S. to justice. Also every U.S. official is required to swear an oath to uphold the Constitution. There also should be penalties for Representatives that vote for unconstitutional legislation. The problem is that unconstitutional is treated as a talking point and not a crime. They dont have to put anyone in a camp. Just turn black against white, muslim against christian and impose martial law . Simplies! wake up to the solution intrinsically included within the deputizm plan Just who are the real subversives here, the generals or the dissenters? Who is destroying democracy? Figure that out and you will know who the subversives are! The Declaration of Independence II Citizens of the United States of America, it has become self-evident, that our federal government has over stepped their authority granted to them by the people. In every society, where the people lose control of their governing bodies, there is almost a plague that befalls all within that society. People become complacent of their lifestyles and fear anything that threatens the security of that lifestyle. The people then look to their government to provide insight at the issues at hand, to judge and debate the outcome of the issues, and then provide recommendations for the best possible solutions for the prosperity for all and not just the few. What happens though, when those meant to govern for the people, start to govern for their own self-interest? That governing body will start to piece by piece, dismantle all the rights granted to us by our own founding fathers. Under the guise of security, our federal government has used its ability to manipulate people with fear to perpetuate war throughout the world and upon its own citizens it was meant to protect from tyranny. By allowing only those they deem worthy to be a part of the elite and their rewarding of those people who show complete obedience, our government has allowed such a huge distributional gap of wealth among the poor and the rich, which has created such a divide amongst the American people. The system currently in place has perpetuated the idea that we live in a survival of the fittest society. The wealth gap has corrupted the foundation of our liberties and the idea that all American citizens are created equal. I ask of the people today, that we join together in not voting in the general election. I propose we all stand in solidarity at the voting polls and demand a recall for new candidates in every electable position in the federal government. Its time to take back what the baby boomers have stolen from the people and allow the Millennials to take over the federal government to restore the rights of the American people. I ask of the people to not be afraid of the authority the federal government thinks it commands. We the people are the voice of the majority and without our generation, the establishment would not be able to sustain their dominance of policing our lives and the world. We are not slaves to their agenda and we will no longer allow them to control our lives. Spread the word around all of the internet and let the people know we have a plan to fix the system. Tell them that we understand that this nation was built off the backs of hard working people, and we, the Millennials, will inherit the mantle of responsibility to undo all injustices our federal government has inflicted upon its own citizens and the citizens of the world. This is our Declaration to the World that We the People of the United States of America will end the tyrannical rule our government has bestowed upon the world. I hope JASON Moore I hope. Im a belligerent dissenter. I dont fear anyone, because I executed my Notice of Understanding and Intent with the US Attorney General and the Texas Attorney General who is now the Governor, removing me from their jurisdiction. can you explain what Notice of Understanding and Intent is Its a legal instrument that cites all the banksters crimes against Humanity and their frauds, like the United States Corporation that hijacked America in 1871. It is sent to your states and the US attorneys general. It removes you from their jurisdiction. If they dont rebut it within 30 days it becomes law, and they cant without incriminating themselves. Just google it. This is how far America has fallen. This is not the republic the founders had envisioned. As Dr. Franklin once stated, We gave you a republic if you can keep it. Great post Thanks! If you want to run out into the streets and drop to your knees, offer up thanks to Almighty God; because only a miracle will save our country. Thank you for your service sir. I sincerely hope I can, within the next few months/years, say your welcome. 
1	Awed and inspired by the gloriously formed, beautifully descended testicles of Tommy, a hairless Chinese crested dog competing in his second Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, millions of U.S. citizens took stock of their lives and set aside their differences Tuesday to stare at the canine's perfectly groomed reproductive glands. 'Those trembling orbs are so breathtakingly magnificent in and of themselves, yet they also contain within them such potential,' said Allentown, PA machinist and former Tea Party member Roy Halbstead, who, upon seeing the dog's testicles on Animal Planet, immediately committed himself to the cause of reconciliation and healing America's rifts. 'Furthermore, while they are two separate entities, they share one canine scrotum and work together for a common goal. Truly those dog testes are the very symbol of our great nation.' Despite the unparalleled unifying powers displayed by Tommy's messianic testicles, the award for Best Testicles in Show went to Aubrey's Bellerophon, a 3-year-old huge-sacked Dogue de Bordeaux. 
3	19 Baby Steps Toward a Self Sufficient LifestyleMapping a Road to Self-Sufficiency Well first of all, let me say that no apologies are needed. None. Moving to a farm or even to the remote boonies is not for everyone, myself included. On the other hand, with some time, perseverance and a bit of hard work, we all can take steps to be self sufficient. And isnt that what prepping is all about: being self sufficient so we can take care of our own needs no matter what? In an idealized world, we would be 100% self-sufficient. Alas, that is unrealistic for most of us and is something that is simply is not going to happen for most of us, desire notwithstanding. I am just being honest and pragmatic here because honestly, that is the truth. That does not mean that we can not have the ability to get by nicely on our own and satisfy 80% or more of our needs without outside help. I am just saying that to set a goal of 100% self sufficiency is defeatist and a goal that is so difficult that giving up is likely. Going back to that idealized world, if everything were perfect, we would have enough food, water, power, fuel, and money to live a well-rounded, healthy and comfortable life. Hard work would be the norm but at the end of the day we would have the satisfaction of being able to take care of ourselves without selling out to greedsters or taking a handout from the government. Alas, everywhere you look there are roadblocks to achieving this state. Not the least of these roadblocks is our dependency on transportation systems and the power infrastructure to deliver goods and energy products to our homes. We depend on the government and insurance companies to rescue us if there is a natural disaster and we depend on organized medicine to keep us healthy. Mapping a Road to Self-Sufficiency Luckily, self-sufficiency is not an all-or-nothing proposition. At one end of the spectrum is a total, off grid, agrarian lifestyle; and at the other is a moderately self-sufficient lifestyle where steps are taken to move toward 20% to 50% self sufficiency. Today I will share some easy steps you can take to to start becoming self-sufficient. These are steps that do not require a farm, do not require acreage and do not require a lot of money. They are practical steps that you can select from and embrace as your needs and desire for independence evolve over time. Some are easy and others take a bit of skill and practice. Some can be done for little or no cost and others will require an investment in time, labor, money or all three. The good news is that there are lots of choices and the journey toward self sufficiency does not have to be done in a day, a month, a year or even a decade. 19 Baby Steps Toward a Self Sufficient Lifestyle 1. Build up a emergency food supply Stuff happens but you still have to eat. Start by building up a cupboard full of food. Although my method is a bit unconventional, I endorse filling up a cupboard or pantry with essentials that are hearty enough to fill bellies for a week, a month or longer without regard to the exact number of meals and the precise number of calories. Trust me, by following the guidelines in 20 Items to Kick Start Your Food Storage Plan, you will have more emergency food than 95% of your friends and neighbors. 2. Learn to cook without electricity or gas There are numerous options to cooking on a traditional stove. Build or buy a rocket stove that only requires biomass for fuel. Learn to use it while cooking a variety of food items. Also consider a propane stove; just make sure that you also stockpile extra propane tanks. 3. Know how to build and start a fire Just because you live in the city and have electricity does not mean you will never have to build a fire. Learn how to build a fire and keep it lit for an extended period. Collect biomass, dryer lint and other materials that can be used as tinder to help get a fire going then practice starting a fire without the benefit of matches or a lighter. A good resource for learning how to build a fire is Catching Fire: 21 Failsafe Fire-starting Methods. 4. Install an alternate fuel source You might be surprised by how little power you need to get by. Start with an inexpensive portable generator or some solar panels. Also think about those items that must have power when the grid is down, such as a well, medical devices and refrigeration. Take care of providing power to those things and let the rest go for now. 5. Grow a vegetable garden This is a great first step to take toward taking care of yourself and some of your food needs. There are some books to help you such as the All New Square Foot Gardening, plus you can get tons of help from seed suppliers, Master Gardeners, and friendly neighbors that will be glad to give you some regionally appropriate advice. 6. Start a compost pile Something many gardeners do not think about is that to be successful, they are going to need fertilizer for their crops. Instead of creating a dependency on the garden center and chemical fertilizers (which also cost money), create your own fertilizer from food scraps and yard waste. The end result will be a nutrient rich fertilizer that is not only free, but a form of black gold for your garden vegetables. 7. Grow fruit trees and berries Imagine growing hundreds of pounds of fruit each year literally for free and for very little work? This can be done if you take the time, by asking around, to seek out native fruit trees that are natural to your area. Once established, these trees will not require fertilizer or water (but if you want to feed them some of that compost, they will love it). 8. Learn to preserve your bounty Canning, freezing, drying and smoking are some of the ways your can preserve your bounty so that you will have it to feed your family during the off-season. It does take time, yes, but the results in terms of food-saving costs are worth it. As with gardening, once you get the hang of it, preserving your food can be fun as well. 9. Take a first aid course and create a well-stocked first aid kit Whether you take a course or not, you will need a well-stocked first aid kit. In addition, you should have at least one printed medical reference such as The Survival Medicine Handbook or The Merck Manual Home Health Handbook. 10. Take charge of your health Do not wait until you are sick and desperate before learning how to take care of your own health needs. Study how healing herbs and essential oils can resolve minor first aid and health annoyances (such as scrapes, insect bites, chest congestion due to a cold or the flu) and practice using these methods in daily life. See Nine Healing Herbs You Can Grow Yourself in a Healing Garden. 11. Acquire warm clothing and blankets to keep you warm without heat To me this seems basic so it always surprises me to learn when folks freak out when there is no heat. Granted, I live in a moderate climate; but if there is no heat, the indoor temperature can drop into the 30s. Down shirts, fleece vests, woolen socks, gloves, comforters and even sleeping bags will keep you warm if not toasty. The best thing is that most of these items can be found for a reasonable price at thrift stores and second hand shops. Keep your eyes peeled especially in winter and strike a bargain. 12. Learn how to use weapons to hunt and for personal projection When the SHTF, each man (or woman) will be on his or her own to find food and to defend what is theirs. The weapon of choice is really up to you. Whatever you choose, learn how to use it and be sure to stockpile ammunition (bullets, arrows, ball bearings or whatever). 13. Start an emergency fund It is a fact of life that emergencies happen. I know people who have the means (and high paying jobs) yet still live paycheck to paycheck. These are the people that scramble when their automobile needs major repairs or a family member gets sick and incurs a large medical bill. Start an emergency fund and pay yourself each week. Whether you put $5 or $50 a week into the fund, put something in the fund, even if it means you eat beans and rice two nights a week so that you have the money to do so. 14. Learn to barter Bartering your skills or excess goods is an easy way to become less dependent on others. Need help? Go back and read 40 Items to Barter in a Post-Collapse World and get yourself a copy of the book Bartering With Desperate People. 15. Make your own cleaning supplies This is one of my favorites. Most of my own cleaning supplies are of the DIY type. Get yourself some vinegar, baking soda, castile soap, alcohol, borax, washing soda and liquid Dawn and you can pretty much clean anything and everything, including your clothes and other laundry items. Creating your own cleaners will bring out the inner chemist in you, and save you a ton of money. See Prepper Checklist: DIY Cleaning Supplies for some ideas to get you started. Better yet, see my article inThe Preparedness Review which is a free download. 16. Cook from scratch and bake your own bread Cooking tasty meals from the ingredients at hand will set you free of processed foods and unpronounceable food additives. By cooking from your pantry and your garden, you will save a ton of money and will begin to savor the real taste of various foods and not a taste manufactured in some food producer (or Monsantos) lab. And then there is baking bread. Baking is one of those fun things that will not only save you money, but will provide you delicious and wholesome results. A loaf of homemade bread will cost you 50 cents versus upwards of $4.00 or more at the supermarket. Plus, the basic ingredients of flour, yeast, salt and water are all things you can pronounce and spell. No chemicals, no preservatives. See Baking bread and why you should do itand just for kicks The Secret Art of Making Pizza At Home. 17. Be a MacGyver and fix your stuff Simple plumbing and electrical repairs can easily be learned (or bartered see above). Painting, deck building and other handyman activities will save you a ton of money and give you the satisfaction of knowing that you can, indeed, do it yourself. 18. Become self-entertaining Learn to play cards, work crosswords, or become an expert at Scrabble. Learn to dance or play the harmonica. Volunteer as an actor or singer at your local community the theater. The point here is to become self-entertaining which means being able to relax and enjoy yourself without the computer, the television, the DVD player or other amusements that rely on electronic gizmos. 19. Get to know your neighbors We are not talking bosom buddies but a friendly hello from time to time. Share your excess bounty or trade something you have for something they need. There is a reason why borrowing a cup of sugar was so popular in the 50s. The simple exchange of goods fostered trust and feeling of kinship that paid real dividends during times of need. Need help opening that door? How about a plate of brownies or a fresh load of bread when someone moves in or a pot of soup when someone is ill? Part of self-sufficiency is knowing who you can trust and who you can call when you need some help. What better time to start than now? See 9 Simple Ways for Preppers to Be a Good Neighbor. The Final Word My own experience tells me that there is a special inner peace that comes from being mostly self-sufficient. Not 100%, but mostly. I have experienced that peace and calm myself when the power went out for an extended period and more recently, when we had no phone or Internet service for days. Then there is the joy in doing things that involve my hands and my mind rather than a shopping trip into town. Others that I talk to also tell me that they too find great joy in the simple things in life that do not rely on excessive consumerism. Take a look at the 19 items on this list. What is your goal? If it is 20% self-sufficiency, pick 3 or 4 and tackle them until you are satisfied you have done the best you can. After that, pick another item or two and keep going as time, interest and budget allows. You will find that taking these steps toward self sufficiency while doing things that you enjoy will help you get closer to an independent lifestyle more quickly than you can imagine. Cows and goats and chickens are not required. Read other articles by Gaye Levy here. Enjoy your next adventure through common sense and thoughtful preparation! 
1	Bobcats owner Michael Jordan announced Wednesday that he has officially hired Patrick Ewing as the teams assistant coach purely to watch the former New York Knicks center lose more. Im thrilled to add Patrick to the coaching staff, and I am very happy to once again be the person responsible for Patrick losing game after game after game, said Jordan, adding that much like their heated rivalry in the 1990s, Jordan will have a front-row seat to watch Ewing consistently fail on the basketball court. Im incredibly confident that with our roster of players, and under the tutelage of our head coach, Steve Clifford, Patrick will be frustrated, upset, and constantly question whether or not his team is good enough to reach the playoffs, let alone win an NBA Title. Putting him through that kind psychological torment again couldnt excite me more. Sources later confirmed Jordan was also in negotiations to bring on former Cleveland Cavaliers guard Craig Ehlo so that he could make that guys life a living hell all over again too. 
2	Youll Love How Texans Own Obama When He Cuts Hours Long BBQ Line President Obama recently made headlines when he cutin line at a famous Texas BBQ restaurant in Austin. According to reports, the action did not come without a price. Obama was given the bill for the family standing behind him. After a day of pushing his Democratic agenda, the President headed to the restaurant and jumped the line, cutting a hungry man and his daughter. When he realized that maybe this was a rude thing to do, he offered to buy their lunch. The pair proceeded to order three pounds of brisket, two pounds of ribs, a half-pound of sausage and a half-pound of turkey. Hold onhow many folks are yall feeding? Obama asked before he picked up the tab, which was over $100. What do you think? Is this just another example of Obama thinking he is entitled to everything? 
3	Are Panama Papers An Act Of Destabilization By Western Powers?By Brandon Turbeville Mossack Fonseca is considered one of the worlds biggest creators of shell companies, corporate formations that can be used to hide the true owners of various assets. The data that was released by Mossack Fonseca includes contracts, emails, bank records, property deeds, passport copies and a host of other collections of sensitive information going as far back as 1977 to as recent as December, 2015. As media outlet Zero Hedge describes the leak, It allows a never-before-seen view inside the offshore world providing a day-to-day, decade-by-decade look at how dark money flows through the global financial system, breeding crime and stripping national treasuries of tax revenues. As Sueddeutsche Zeitung, the outlet that received the leaks, summarized the new revelations: Over a year ago, an anonymous source contacted the Sddeutsche Zeitung (SZ) and submitted encrypted internal documents from Mossack Fonseca, a Panamanian law firm that sells anonymous offshore companies around the world. These shell firms enable their owners to cover up their business dealings, no matter how shady. In the months that followed, the number of documents continued to grow far beyond the original leak. Ultimately, SZ acquired about 2.6 terabytes of data, making the leak the biggest that journalists had ever worked with. The source wanted neither financial compensation nor anything else in return, apart from a few security measures. The data provides rare insights into a world that can only exist in the shadows. It proves how a global industry led by major banks, legal firms, and asset management companies secretly manages the estates of the worlds rich and famous: from politicians, Fifa officials, fraudsters and drug smugglers, to celebrities and professional athletes. Zero Hedge also described a number of high-profile revelations coming from the leaks. The website writes: Mossack Fonsecas fingers are in Africas diamond trade, the international art market and other businesses that thrive on secrecy. The firm has serviced enough Middle East royalty to fill a palace. Its helped two kings, Mohammed VI of Morocco and King Salman of Saudi Arabia, take to the sea on luxury yachts. In Iceland, the leaked files show how Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson and his wife secretly owned an offshore firm that held millions of dollars in Icelandic bank bonds during that countrys financial crisis. In the video clip below, PM Gunnlaugsson walks out of an interview with Swedish television company SVT. Gunnlaugsson is asked about a company called Wintris, which he says has been fully declared to the Icelandic tax authority. Gunnlaugsson says he is not prepared to answer such questions and decides to discontinue the interview, saying: What are you trying to make up here? This is totally inappropriate The ICIJ records show Sergey Roldugin, a long-time friend of Vladimir Putin, as a behind-the-scenes player in a clandestine network operated by Putin associates that has shuffled at least $2 billion through banks and offshore companies, German daily Sddeutsche Zeitung and other media partners has found. In the documents, Roldugin is listed as the owner of offshore companies that have obtained payments from other companies worth tens of millions of dollars. The files include a convicted money launderer who claimed hed arranged a $50,000 illegal campaign contribution used to pay the Watergate burglars, 29 billionaires featured in Forbes Magazines list of the worlds 500 richest people and movie star Jackie Chan, who has at least six companies managed through the law firm. The files contain new details about major scandals ranging from Englands most infamous gold heist to the bribery allegations convulsing FIFA, the body that rules international soccer. In the Operation Car Wash case in Brazil, prosecutors allege that Mossack Fonseca employees destroyed and hid documents to mask the law firms involvement in money laundering. A police document says that, in one instance, an employee of the firms Brazil branch sent an email instructing co-workers to hide records involving a client who may have been the target of a police investigation: Do not leave anything. I will save them in my car or at my house. In Nevada, the leaked files show, Mossack Fonseca employees worked in late 2014 to obscure the links between the law firms Las Vegas branch and its headquarters in Panama in anticipation of a U.S. court order requiring it to turn over information on 123 companies incorporated by the law firm. Argentine prosecutors had linked those Nevada-based companies to a corruption scandal involving an associate of former presidents Nstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernndez de Kirchner. Today, Mossack Fonseca is considered one of the worlds five biggest wholesalers of offshore secrecy. It has more than more than 500 employees and collaborators in more than 40 offices around the world, including three in Switzerland and eight in China, and in 2013 had billings of more than $42 million. The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists also took part in the investigation of the leaked data and revealed a summary of its findings. ICIJ suggests the leaks expose: Offshore companies linked to the family of Chinas top leader, Xi Jinping, as well as Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, who has 29 billionaires featured in Forbes Magazines list of the worlds 500 richest people Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson and his wife secretly owned an offshore firm that held millions of dollars in Icelandic bank bonds during the countrys financial crisis Associates of Russian President Vladimir Putin secretly shuffled as much as $2 billion through banks and shadow companies New details of offshore dealings by the late father of British Prime Minister David Cameron, a leader in the push for tax-haven reform Offshore companies controlled by the Prime Minister of Pakistan, the King of Saudi Arabia and the children of the President of Azerbaijan 33 people and companies blacklisted by the US Government because of evidence that they have done business with Mexican drug lords, terrorist organisations like Hezbollah or rogue nations like North Korea Customers including Ponzi schemers, drug kingpins, tax evaders and at least one jailed sex offender Movie star Jackie Chan, who had at least six companies managed through the law firm Out of all this data, however, there are several curious aspects that no mainstream media outlet has yet to adequately explain the apparent absence of any relevant American or Israeli names as well as any high-profile and realistically relevant European names, particularly those of the active NATO countries. In fact, despite the fact that the Russians, Syrians, Chinese, and Icelandics have been revealed for the offshore dealers that they are we are being led to believe that the oligarchs in the United States, England, Israel, and Germany are squeaky clean. Three points must be made in this regard. First, many of the targets of the Panama Papers leaks are being exposed only by means of guilt by association. For instance, a full on public relations assault has been launched against Russian President Vladmir Putin, suggesting that Putin himself is responsible for using offshore accounts for personal gain. However, Putins guilt is simply being associated with an individual who is holding money in offshore accounts. Putin himself has not been revealed as one of the individuals laundering money. The Guardian video entitled How To Hide A Billion Dollars: The Panama Papers, is perhaps one of the most obvious examples of how guilt by association is used to implicate Putin himself in offshore accounts and tax evasion. Yet there is no evidence of Putin himself doing anything of the sort, only evidence of a close friend of Putin who has maintained offshore accounts. The reports out of Western mainstream media even go so far as to associate Putin with the accounts because the leaks revealed that his childhood friends were also engaged in offshore accounting. Similarly, a character assassination attempt has been launched against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad despite no evidence that Assad has been maintaining offshore accounts. The only evidence provided that comes anywhere close to pointing at Assad is that which exposes his cousins who are maintaining the accounts. Likewise, reports are pointing toward Chinese President Xi Jinping as a tax evader, despite the fact that only his brother-in-law was fingered in the leak. Other heads of state targeted by the leaks (but not necessarily directly point to) are former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak (overthrown by the Western-backed Arab Spring), Petro Poroshenko (President of Ukraine), and the current Prime Minister of Iceland. Palestinian leaders or, rather, a confidant to the Palestinian Authority President were also mentioned. While there are many more individuals and countries listed in the leaks, the lists themselves are a curious representation of countries and world leaders whom the United States and the NATO powers view as targets and/or enemies. Putin, Assad, Mubarak, and Orban as well as their host countries of Hungary, Venezuela, Russia, Syria, Palestine, and China are all listed as violators of tax evasion, money laundering, and more but without sufficient evidence to prove most of the claims made against them. The second point that must be made is the curious lack of high-profile American names as well as the lack of NATO leaders, leaders of major European countries, and Israelis. Being the most massive leak in journalistic history, to be sure, citizens of one of the largest economies on the face of the earth would turn up in an investigation of offshore accounts. Certainly, Western European oligarchs are as corrupt as any other nationality of oligarch. After all, Western Europeanoligarchs often have a much higher tax rate (at least publicly) so it would stand to reason that they would be taking part in offshore accounting as much if not more than any other oligarch. Likewise, with the Israelis. Are we truly to believe that no Israelis are using offshore accounts? Thus, it is curious indeed that such massive leaks seem directed at target nations and target individuals of the Anglo-American/NATO powers with little or no mention of nations or individuals belonging to the Anglo-American/NATO powers themselves. For these reasons, the Panama Papers release has all the hallmarks of what might be considered a limited hangout operation. In other words, these leaks may very well be nothing more than an Anglo-American attack on geopolitical rivals and an exercise in a massive propaganda blitz against target nations and individuals. Lastly, while some revelations do contain NATO allies like the Ukrainian President, the Saudis, United Arab Emirates, and Qataris, one must keep in mind the necessity of the hangout aspect of the limited hangout, i.e., the necessity to reveal something negative about the institution or nations actually releasing the leaks in order to provide authenticity of the documents and claims made therein but, at the same time, never revealing anything that would actually be practically damaging to the entity that originally provided the leak. A limited hangout is thus a type of data leak false flag, requiring a certain amount of incriminating data aimed back at the perpetrator so as to provide credibility but never enough to bring the heat back to the one who created and committed the leak to begin with. There is also the possibility that the leaks implicating individuals and countries allied with the NATO powers are centered around a desire to weaken these allies who may have either outlived their usefulness or are, for whatever reason, refusing to comply fully with the NATO agenda. With a leak of this magnitude containing such massive amounts of information, particularly when signs point to the possibility of the leak having been the product of a limited hangout operation, it is important to investigate those who produced, investigated, and reported the leak to begin with. In addition to over 100 mainstream news organizations (themselves a questionable lot), an investigation into the leaks was undertaken by the International Consortium Of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). In regards to the Panama Papers, this may be all one really needs to know to understand the nature and purpose of the leak. The ICIJ is a non-profit organization that describes itself by stating that it is aglobal network of more than 190 investigative journalists in more than 65 countries who collaborate on in-depth investigative stories. Yet the ICIJ is anything but independent. One need only take a look at the ICIJs sponsors and funding supporters to see a list of a number of powerful Foundations and color revolution organizations that have worked closely with the U.S. State Department in the past (and continue to do so today) for the purposes of overthrowing and destabilizing foreign governments for the geopolitical benefits of the United States government and those of the NATO bloc. The ICIJ website itself lists the following organizations as funding supporters: Recent ICIJ funders include: Adessium Foundation, Open Society Foundations, The Sigrid Rausing Trust, the Fritt Ord Foundation, the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, The Ford Foundation, The David and Lucile Packard Foundation, Pew Charitable Trusts and Waterloo Foundation. Even more telling, at the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) website, the Panama Papers disclosure site, the OCCRP proudly displays Who Supports Our Work at the bottom of the page. Among the organizations supporting OCCRP are George Soros Open Society Foundations, a color revolution apparatus that works closely with the U.S. State Department as well as USAID, a wholly functioning arm of the U.S. State Department that has been involved in color revolutions across the world. Thus, we have at least one direct connection between the Panama Papers leak and the U.S. State Department which is as strong as virtually any link made between the individuals exposed in the leaks and Putin or Assad. With this in mind, it is much easier to see what the true purpose of the leaks might be. While many may have, at first, believed the Panama Papers leaks to be an instance of guerrilla hacking or some other form of grassroots activism against world oligarchs, all indications are that they are nothing more than an exercise in mass propaganda designed to paint certain enemies of the Western powers as corrupt and greedy, further demonizing them in the Western press and undermining their credibility and legitimacy in their own countries. While this type of corruption may indeed be rampant in the overwhelming majority of cases across the world (including the United States, Israel, and the West), the Panama Papers appear to be nothing more than other propaganda assault conducted by the U.S. State Department and its host of interconnected color revolution agencies like the Ford Foundation, OSI, and USAID. Before activists rejoice, they should take a deeper look into the leaks and the source that produced them.

Isnt this just more apex globalist N-dimensional chess to hurry along the MCAA Global earnings and taxes information network that intends to collect and share detailed information on every person on the planet? Currently, 80 nations have agreed to collaborate in the MCAA program with Panama being a glaring exception. Maybe this is the push to get a straggler in and reinforce a global meme of public outrage over the super wealthy using offshore tax shelters to manufacture consent for a global tax. Thats been the meme behind Pelosis 2009 global transaction tax (floated first by former UK PM and Trilateralist Gordon Brown), the solution coming out of a Moyers and Krugman televised interview, Bernies Wall Street Tax, etc. True! True! True! However, If your hands are clean, THEY cannot touch you. Nor can the fire singe not even a single hair upon your head! Get out of Her, my people. Touch nothing unclean, nor anything that belongs to them. Good advice from the Good Book. Another quote: Do not be in fear of them (Massive Worldwide Corruption); for there is nothing covered over that will not become uncovered, and secret that will not become known. (Matthew Ch10 vs 26) So now we have at least three to four articles of the same thing at this website. We are stuck in endlessly TALKING about our glaring problem of corruption to the point of complete INACTION. The corruption in our systems have grown to the point the ONLY thing Just another One World Government effort to destabilize the world (except those in the inner circle of course). Then their front men in the UN sweeps in to fix everything. When will we learn??? The fact that most crooks are found in the USA and not one was outed told me everything I needed to know. If its really a leak show us the darned list already! Offshore business is an US/UK invention ! No, the richest and most stable nations in Europe (and the world) are all social democracies. They even have 8 of the 10 freest economies in the world according to the Heritage Index of Free economies. The nations in trouble are the Southern /European nations which have been destroyed by conservative leaders in cahoots with bankers. Your post is just an obsolete cliche. Our more socialistic neighbor Canada has free (at point of use) education and healthcare, yet the average Canadian is richer than the average American. The richest nations on earth are social democracies, and they also have the highest civil rights and political liberty ratings. The old lies are dying out..of all the viable candidates for President, only social democrat Bernie Sanders isusted to be honest and liked. The times, they are a changin The times, they are a changin (apologies to Bob Dylan) Funny that your liberal ceo goes to liberal Germany and no one can wave at him/it. Oh but I thought liberals were saviors of the world. Lack fortitude much?? Prejudice: preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience. I am not a liberal. What liberal ceo? Hitler blamed liberals (social democrats) for all the evil in the world. That is the standard fascist scapegoat. You are incoherent..all I can do is wonder. If you cant lend a hand, get out of the way. My 1st reply was removed and warranted, I believe. Obama going to Germany is what I was talking about. You say if I cant lend a hand to get out of the way. I tried to stay out of the way and mind my own business. They make it impossible for folks like me to stay out of the way. OH, by liberal CEO, you mean Obama. Hmnnnn..sorry I didnt catch that. And you said your liberal ceo Well, I am a critic of Obama, and he is not a ceo and on many issues, not even liberal. So you totally fooled me! Is this is what you are slobbering about: The Hannoversche Allegemeine newspaper says residents have been warned not to wave from the windows of their houses and apartment buildings as Obama and Merkel enter and leave the trade show because it could be seen as a threat.??? Yes, Europe is paranoid about terrorist attacks. Yes, it is used, as it is in the US, to limit liberty. It has nothing to do with social democracy, however. Who are the They who make it impossible for you to stay out of the way? Why dont you lend a hand and help us elect the one uncorrupted candidate, the only one who is trusted and liked by the public? And if you cant, just get out of the way. Bernie? No, cant feel ya on that. Big govt just isnt the answer. Is that what its came to? If one cant make it on ones own the govts will take care of you. My ancestors were told that and now all live on a rez in New Mexico and my uncle is the tribal chief. I stand to lose almost $15k more a year if bernie pulls the wool. And I dont think making everything free is the answer either. People havent learned how to appreciate in that form. Quality will suffer. Talk to me dale Where do you get your information? Social democracy is not about big government but helping the working and middle class receive more of the value created by their labor. Big government, in fact, is the product of Big Business, which uses government for tax breaks, subsidies, special favors, to start wars which profit the banks, energy, and weapons makers. Social democracy is about lessening the oligarchic power of the wealthy and creating a more democratic society. If you taxes go up under Sanders tax plan, you will have to make more than $250K a yr, because under his plan, the rates stay the same. From 250K to 500K, the rates go up from 35% to 37%. Only at the very top, when you make over 10 million a yr will your rate rise to the top of 52% (from 40%) So if you make 10 million, you will pay not 4 million but 5.2 million, leaving you a paltry 4.8 million, a mere $15,000 a day. Oh the suffering that will cause. So to pay an extra $15K a year, under Bernies plan , you would have to make about $400,000 a year. Since you likely dont someone has been lying to you. You can see the plan here: So if you make less than $250,000 a year, your taxes stay the same and for the amount over that, you pay 6% more (not on the whole total) up to 500K, etc. Less than 3% of households (often with more than one job) earn that much. Only 1% earn over 500K per household, so the increase from 35% to 39.6% would kick in for them. But: Bernies plan includes free public university tuititon, saving millions of households thousands a year (to be paid for by a tiny tax on speculative transactions in an industry where the top hedge fund manager last year made 1.7 billion (the average of the top 25 was a mere 500 million), and by changing to Medicare for All, the savings would be 900 billion (400 B in lower overhead, since Medicare overhead is 1.3% compared to private at 15%; 170 billion saved in ER services for the uninsured (average visit is $2000), and 300 billion saved in not having tax breaks for medical costs. 900 billion is more than enough to cover everyone, raising coverage to 100%, and include dental and health. So if you make up to $250K, your taxes stay the same but your kids tuition is free and you have no medical costs. How oppressive is that? Tuition and healthcare are free because they are paid for by the higher taxes, which do not effect 97% of households, who stand to benefit. Like we have free roads, paid for by taxes. So someone has been lying to you. When people pay their fair share of taxes, services can be provided for all at a much cheaper cost. That is why healthcare in all other 34 nations is universal, results in superior outcomes, and costs half as much. It aint free, it just costs half as much. That is why Canadians are now richer than Americans because they spend half as much on healthcare (thru taxes), which eliminates the parasitic middle man and the grossly expensive ER treatment those without insurance rely on after they are very sick. Social democracy is not about big government but government which benefits everyone. You can prove it to yourself by looking at the results in northern Europe and Canada. Which country has the most poverty, median wages falling 40% since 1989, household income down 8% since 1999? Its the US, the least socialist of all these nations. Which candidate voted against the 3 trillion dollar war in Iraq, which has killed a million people? Why candidate voted against the Patriot Act and spying? Which candidate wants to help ordinary families put their children through college without enormous debt (now over a trillion)? Which candidate has never lied or taken money from the rich for favors? Which candidate is the only one with a net positive rating for honesty and trustworthiness. I urge you not to listen to those who fear democracy and helping the middle and working class but to find out directly what Sanders is proposing and how he would pay for it. Think about it: free tuition means more people can graduate from college; this results in more productivity, higher wages, more taxes based on higher wages, and as a consequence less welfare. Universal healthcare means a healthier population, less sick days, more productivity, more taxes, and less need for Medicaid, etc programs that provide for the unhealthy. There are no better investments, with excellent returns, than free tuition and universal healthcare. It means more progress, more productivity, more profits, less need for govt assistance and a larger tax base to reduce the debt. Seek out the truth. If you make $400K, then your taxes will go up $15,000, but in that case, its time you paid your fair share, since you are in the top 1% whose wealth since 1989 has tripled while the median wage has fallen 40%. Forget the dogma and propaganda (the Presidents who most expanded the government were not liberals but Reagan who tripled the debt and Bush II whose 8 budgets increased the debt by 117%. Look at the Sanders programs from the horses mouth. Bernie has never lied, never gotten rich off his public service. Find out what he is proposing and ignore the cynics who are lying to you, my friend. The rest of us dont believe in the Tooth Fairy, but you go ahead and believe whatever you want. Thank you for the good laugh,,,Ill be laughing all the way to the polls and next January when Trump is sworn in, Ill send you some flowers. How sad you are. My sympatrhy to your family, if you have one. I hve urged you to actually look at Bernies tax plan but you are afraid to learn the truth. Healthcare is not free, just much cheaper when you make it single payer. Free tuition more than pays for itself in increased producteivity and higher wages and higher taxes. Graduates pay $200,000 more in taxes in their lifetimes, much more than invested to help them get a degree/. The free stuff goes mostly to rich corporations, but you are too dense to see that so you parrot the propaganda of the rich corporatoins which are picking your pocket. Bernie says how we will pay for education and healthcarehe is honest and uncorrupted. Right wing propaganda does not trump honesty and a plan to help ordinary people . Please dont waste my time anymore. I know where you are coming from, and its sad. Why dont you just leave the Land of the Free and go to one of your commie countries? Get out of the way of you commies? Come and make me, little one. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,,,etc. Who do you think you are fooling? Theres no such thing as a free lunch, Bozo. Fake laughter to mask a lack of rational response, delivered via the internet, created by the government. Tell the banks, big pharma and big ag there is no free lunch. They get hundreds of billions. Tell it to the transnational fossil fuel corporations who, the IMF estimates, get over 5 trillion a year in public subsidies. Medicare for all would not be free, just simpler and cheaper. Do you support eliminating free lunches for poor children? Corporate free lunches for rich industries cost far more than feeding the needy. Right wing cliches die hard for those who find it easier to condemn than to think. I take it you did not look at Sanders tax plan, which beings to raise rates when you make over $250K. For the past 25 years, the median wages have fallen 40% while the incomes of those making over $250K have nearly tripled. Its time for those who have been getting a free lunch to pay it back. You are one of those political scientists call those who oppose policies which would benefit them and support those that hurt them: that is what useful idiot is, and I hear your idiot laughter.as you use the free lunch of the internet to proclaim there is no such thing as a free lunch. Your thinking that the old commie has any chance of winning makes me laugh. Your thinking that he would just tax those that make over 250K makes me laugh. You thinking that the big corporations dont pay any tax makes me laugh. You thinking that more tax on the people who provide jobs and services wouldnt be funded by the middle class makes me laugh. Your complete ignorance of economics makes me laugh. Your complete ignorance of America and what Americans will tolerate makes me laugh. Your belief that any of this pipe dream of Sanders wouldnt involve making our already bloated government even bigger and less responsive to the people makes me laugh. Your regurgitating others lame beliefs about Socialism makes me laugh. Your inability to see that BIG GOVERNMENT IS THE PROBLEM NOT THE SOLUTION really, really makes me laugh. jOHN PODESTA A CLINTON CAMPAIGN BIG WHIG IS MENTIONED IN THE PAPERS.did he hide the Clinton Foundation $$.we know that Saudia Arabia, Qatar, Emerites Israel etc gave millions to the Clintons. Why did Hilary push this Ponzi scheme Trade deal with Panama in the first place. Bernie Sanders vehemently opposed itHE knew what would happen and it has. Hilary I believe will be found to be up to her eye balls in this international criminal syndicate deal to rob the citizens of the world of their assets for the worlds dirty 1% elites. Is it time for a worldwide revolution? Soros, Jooz, CIA, Mossad. The usual suspects. Zio Trash. Ok. so Mr. Vladimir Putin was exposed in the Panama papers. It shows he had ideas to spend vacations in the Caribbeans in the future right. It also shows since he other plans in the future he would have not instigate a nuclear holocaust and would not pushed the nuclear lauch button. The Russian People might just find now someone that his warmonger enough to go all the way and use the nuclear launch codes. It looks like a brilliant move to have exposed Mr. Putin but he had personal interests for searching for peace. Now we might be stuck with a more radical leader that will use global lethal mutual destruction if necessary. It even could of been used as a bargaining chip by the US. if something was to go wrong in a regional conflict. Stupid Americans always the politics of the worse. Like if not all the members of the US. congress, White House members and Senate members dont have a lot of cash stashed secretly in Panama accounts. Now the war will begin between the two sides. The Panama papers and the other.I do not know what the name would be. May be Pacific papers. However, when they start fighting they will reveal and leak the papers of each side. We wait patiently and we will be able to identify all those who have committed crimes. no fingers pointed at the US corp. why not? THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH PAPERS TO PRINT ALL THE GARBAGE THAT THE US HAS BEEN DOING. TURBEVILLE YOU DRANK THE COOLAID..THIS IS IN RETALIATION FOR CBS 60 MINUTES REVELATION THAT THE U.S IS THE NO.ONE LAUNDRY FOR DIRTY MONEY.IT WAS RUN ABOUT 6WEEKS AGO .THE U.S IS THE MOST LACKS LAWS .9 OUT OF 10 LAW FIRMS THAT WERE INTERVIEWED BY A ACTOR PLAYING AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF A FOREIGN LEADER WHO HAD A HUGE SUM TO INVEST WANTED TO DO THE DEAL AND EXPLAINED HOW ON AIR WITH HIDDEN CAMERAS.ONE REFUSED TO DO IT.NO NEED TO GO ANYWERE THATS WHY THIS IS BEING RELEASED NOW TURBEVILLE!!!

3	The GMO Lie Threatens Life on Earth Yet Some ResistAlex Pietrowski, Contributor Food regulators have been approving GMO foods for over 20 years, with very little independent research conducted to understand the long-term effects that GMO will have on humans and the environment. Thankfully, more of such research is now being undertaken by universities, independent scientists, and, the regulators. For example, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) recently revealed that several commercial GMO products include fragments of the viral gene called Gene VI. many viral genes function to disable their host in order to facilitate pathogen invasion. Often, this is achieved by incapacitating specific anti-pathogen defenses. Incorporating such genes could clearly lead to undesirable and unexpected outcomes in agriculture. Furthermore, viruses that infect plants are often not that different from viruses that infect humans. For example, sometimes the genes of human and plant viruses are interchangeable, while on other occasions inserting plant viral fragments as transgenes has caused the genetically altered plant to become susceptible to an animal virus (Dasgupta et al. 2001). Thus, in various ways, inserting viral genes accidentally into crop plants and the food supply confers a significant potential for harm. (source) Currently, no country or regulators officially monitor the consequences of GMOs, so at this point, we have many indicators that GMOs may be causing us harm, but no dependable scientific data to help us gain a clear and convincing picture. Research findings about viral Gene VI, tumors in rats, and botulism in poultry, are typically dismissed as inconclusive, are said to lack a solid scientific foundation, or are publicized as irrelevant to public health (ie. just because GMO corn causes tumors in rats, doesnt mean it will cause tumors in humans). Yet, there are heros in every battle; heros not willing to stand ideally by as Monsanto takes over our right to eat healthy, to sow our own food, and to care for our planet. 75-year old Vernon Hugh Bowman is an example of someone willing to face the multibillion-dollar mammoth. He is taking Monsanto to the US Supreme Court this week to argue that, as a farmer, he has the right to sow the seeds of his own crop (even if this crop was from Monsanto GMO seed) and from seed that was purchased from local grain elevators. Monsanto argues that it has patent rights to all its seeds, and all of the seeds from the crop that were grow from its seeds, and all the seeds sold by third-parties that are descendants of the original GMO seeds. You heard right: every seed that is a descendent of the original Monsanto Roundup-Ready seed or any other Monsonto GMO seed is owned by Monsanto. Farmers are not allowed to grow it unless they pay Monsanto. Monsantos argument: protecting patent rights fully is vital to preserve a commercial incentive to develop and refine new products. If Bowman won, the courts would jeopardize some of the most innovative biotechnology research in the country. (source) The days of small local farmers have been over for some time now (at least in the US), but if Bowman is victorious, the last few surviving farming communities may stop being targets for patent infringement lawsuits and regain some of their rights. Although crop biotechnology in theory has been promoted by rather noble causes like ending world hunger, a few large chemical companies have profited, mostly from their patents on GMO seeds and the sale of the chemicals these seeds are designed to withstand, while public health and food safety continue to be a concern. The overabundance of GM corn, soybean and wheat has resulted in pests developing a resistance to GM crops over a short span, while yields from GMO crops are proving to be no better than non-GMO crops.

1	Saying that she just wanted a little time to relax and not even think about confining gender stereotypes, local health care industry consultant Natalie Jenkins reportedly took a 30-minute break from being a feminist last night to kick back and enjoy a television program. Jenkins, 29, told reporters that after a long and tiring day at her office, all she wanted to do was return home, sit down on her couch, turn on an episode of the TLC reality show Say Yes To The Dress, and treat herself to a brief half hour in which she could look past all the various and near constant ways popular culture undermines the progress of women. Every once in a while, its nice to watch a little television without worrying about how frequently the mainstream media perpetuates traditional gender roles, Jenkins said before putting her feet up on her coffee table and tuning in to the popular program that follows women as they shop for wedding gowns. No mentally cataloging all the times women are subtly mocked or shamed for not living up to an unrealistic body image, no examining how women are depicted as superficial and irrationally emotional, and no thinking about how these shows reinforce the belief that women should simply aspire to find a man and get marriednone of that. Not tonight. Im just watching an episode of Say Yes To The Dress and enjoying it for what it is. Between 9 and 9:30, Im not even going to take notice of all the two-dimensional portrayals of women as fashion- and shopping-obsessed prima donnas, Jenkins added. That part of my brain will just be switched off. Jenkins confirmed that she watched contentedly for the entirety of the television program, telling reporters that she never once allowed herself to grow indignant as the adult, employed, and presumably self-respecting women on screen repeatedly demanded to be made into princesses. Additionally, Jenkins acknowledged that she witnessed dozens of moments in which the brides-to-be abandoned the notion that they should be valued for their personalities and intellects and instead seemed to derive their sole sense of worth from embellishing their appearance. However, she said she was able to consistently remind herself that this was Natalie time and that the feminist movement could do without [her] for 30 minutes. Normally, Id be pretty irritated at the thought of millions of people across the country mindlessly watching such a backward representation of what it means to be a woman in the 21st century, but tonight Im just unwinding and not letting it get to me, Jenkins said. Its actually been kind of nice to push all the insinuations that marriage is the one true path for women to achieve happiness and fulfillment to the back of my mind and just lie back and have a good time. In fact, there was a part where one of the brides threw a tantrum because the dress she wanted was above her budget and then whined to her father until he finally gave in and bought it for her, and I just let myself laugh out loud, added Jenkins, noting that, while she was fully aware that such depictions reinforced the notion of women as helpless figures who require a man to provide for them, she was letting all that stuff slide during this particular half hour. This shows actually pretty fun and entertaining if you ignore how damaging it could be to our perceptions of gender in society. Jenkins also reportedly viewed roughly 10 minutes of advertisements throughout the show, during which time she reminded herself to actively tune out the numerous instances wherein feminine sexuality was used to sell products; the number of times advertisements preyed on female insecurity; and the sheer volume of bare female skin shown on screen. Sure, I just watched several commercials that basically reduced women to explicitly sexualized objects whose sole purpose is to please men, but someone else can worry about that right now because Im off the clock, said Jenkins, following a succession of ads for vodka, shampoo, and the Fiat 500. Honestly, I dont even care that that yogurt commercial showed thin, beautiful women easily balancing home and work lives while eating 60-calorie packs of yogurt. Tonight, in my mind, theyre just selling Greek yogurt. Thats all. While affirming that she had fully recommitted herself to the cause of gender equality as soon as the shows credits ended, Jenkins admitted she was already looking forward to the next time she could let herself disregard the many ways women are reduced to stale caricatures on national television. Honestly, its pretty exhausting to call out every sexist stereotype or instance of misogyny in popular culture, so sometimes I have to just throw my hands up and grant myself a little time off, Jenkins said. And given the state of modern media, momentarily suspending my feminist ideals is the only way to get through a night of TV without becoming totally livid or discouraged. As of press time, Jenkins sense of relaxation and contentment had been entirely undone by the first 30 seconds of 2 Broke Girls. 
3	Parents Get Censored and Shushed Like Children at Meeting on CensorshipHeather Callaghan Have you bitten your fingernails today? Hopefully, you have saved room for when you watch this. If youre a reasonable parent with a student in the public school system and notice a blatant violation unfortunately this absurd behavior is something you might encounter from the district school board. That is, if they are intertwined with an agenda. Michael Krieger of Liberty Blitzkreig reported the background on the Naples, Florida incident. In order to give you some background on the issue, see the Letter to the Editor he wrote to the Naples Daily News on 1/28 to say what he was prevented from saying at the 1/20 School Board Workshop A quick synopsis of the letter involves parents who wished to speak out about premature curriculum approval that involved blatant historical fallacies (that you would probably detect immediately as propaganda) in text books. Seriously, thats it. They wanted to point out the problems. For getting involved and wanting to rationally discuss the textbook problems (like the history book claiming the government can informally change the Constitution or the elimination of the U.S. on a world map) they were allegedly called Nazi book burners and narrow-minded, racist Bible-thumpers. A recap of how the actual January Collier County School Board Workshop went in the video below, shows that the parents never made it that far. They werent allowed to direct any comments to approvers or anyone involved or anyone who was using authority to silence the parents. This extended to absurd levels when it turned out that parents would be shushed like children for using any pronouns at all or referring to any human beings as opposed to generalized, vague, watered-down topics. This wasnt just a matter of keeping the peace this was censorship via the same maturity of a schoolyard bully taunting quit hittin yourself! quit hittin yourself! Also note the psychological effect of the parents having to look up to the chairwoman to make their statements. Commenters describing the chairpersons behavior are using terms like the b-word, psycho, Nazi and power-tripper. If you feel the same way, please know that doctors and psychologists agree with you and the commenters her behavior is the very stuff of power-tripping, verbally abusive sociopaths and narcissists. She should be immediately stripped of that position as her behavior demonstrates she has no ability to withstand conflict. Although she is perched above the parents and is acting like a Nazi-librarian instead of the paid public servant she is she is actually the tantrum-throwing child in this scenario. The parents have every right to UP their demands not just to be heard were way beyond that point but to make heavy and consistent demands for real change. If they dont, it is obvious that the goal of the school board is to run roughshod directly over the parents and the students. Maybe its time for the parents to go after their positions. The parents can fulfill this role too, no doubt. Look how they maintained their composure and poise the entire time while facing the obnoxious antics of the power-tripping chairwoman. How would you have held up? Related stories: Recent posts byHeather Callaghan:

The data in this recent study looks at parent reported cases of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The CDC defines Autism Spectrum Disorder as: Obscured somewhat in the reporting of this data is whether or not autism itself is actually on the rise. According to the CDC, in 2000 autism rates for children were 1 in 150. Since then, the nation has seen a frightening increase in the number of youth affected, and the impact on families and schools has been staggering. The causes of ASD are still not clearly identified. More research is demonstrating that food quality may be an important issue, and things like high-fructose corn syrup growing highly suspect. The CDC cites several potential factors that may possibly contribute to this epidemic, including genetic, environmental and biological factors, while also mentioning the controversy over childhood vaccines. The case against vaccines continues to grow and is clearly worthy of more direct attention than the CDC seems to be giving it. All the while, more and more parents and activists are challenging an ever-increasing schedule of childhood vaccines, and public awareness of this issue continues to rise.

Whats next? Are people going to start calling the FDA to ask what to feed their kids? Are they going to start calling the MPAA to ask what movies they can allow their children to watch? Are we going to start putting cameras in our homes with a direct line to the $3 billion spy hub the NSA has built in the Utah desert? Related: 
1	In an effort to honor fallen American soldiers this Memorial Day with a fittingly 'badass' tribute, Vice President Joe Biden has announced plans to jump a motorcycle over the entire length of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Biden, who called an emergency press conference at the White House Saturday, said members of the U.S. armed forces who sacrificed their lives in the service of their country deserved a death-defying stunt that involves clearing the 246-foot-long monument on a 'souped-up' Harley-Davidson XR-750. 'There's no better way to pay homage to our fallen brothers than by letting it rip, hitting that ramp at full fucking blast, and flying through the sky high above the Vietnam Memorial,' said Biden, noting that he also plans to execute a midair salute by placing his fingers around his mouth in a V shape and rapidly flicking his tongue. 'If I grease the landing and ragdoll across the Constitution Gardens, so be it. I've had my share of spills.' The vice president in his custom-made leather racing suit. 'Ain't like I haven't broken a few bones or fractured my skull a couple times, either,' the vice president added. Biden told reporters he has spent all his free time over the past two weeks preparing for the perilous feat by tuning up his bike, overseeing construction of the plywood ramps, and personally installing a 'bitchin'' sound system that will blast a to-be-determined John Mellencamp song from 20 different speakers during the jump. The vice president said that to properly commemorate the bravery of America's fallen service members, he will also ride the motorcycle through a massive banner reading 'All gave some, some gave all,' which will be held in place by 'a couple of hot numbers in bikinis' whom the vice president reportedly met during a recent trip to a D.C.-area Texas Roadhouse location. After urging members of the media not to miss out because the performance is going to be 'the shit,' Biden spoke at length about modifications he has made to the bike to ensure he gets 'big-time air.' 'Get ready, hombresI slapped a thousand cc's of muscle on this baby and they're gonna hear it roar from here to the Pentagon,' the vice president said. 'Plus I added an extra 80 horsepower with a sweet supercharger, 'cause if you're gonna honor our boys, you've gotta do it right.' 'Even got a custom-built POW-MIA flag that will be flying from the back of my hog as I'm soaring overhead,' Biden continued. In response to numerous questions about the risk of injury, Biden assured the White House press corps that a safety crew equipped with fire extinguishers will be on hand to quickly douse any flames on his body in the event of a crash. The vice president also claimed that should an accident occur, he probably wouldn't feel anything, because he intended to get 'fairly tanked' before performing the jump. 'Anyway, I'll have a helmet on, and of course I'll be wearing my star-spangled red, white, and blue leather jumpsuit,' Biden said. 'It zips down real low, and I plan to keep it open. The ladies can follow the treasure trail to a little patch action.' Although this is the vice president's most ambitious jump to date, in 2010 he honored the troops on Veteran's Day by vaulting over 14 tombstones at Arlington National Cemetery, but then 'ate it' on the 15th grave, spending two weeks in a coma. As of press time, the six-term Delaware senator was reportedly spotted popping wheelies and doing burnouts on the National Mall.

1	In another blow to the disgraced superstars legacy, Major League Baseball officials reportedly acquired new evidence this week confirming that third baseman Alex Rodriguez invented steroids. These documents prove that, well before his first positive test, Mr. Rodriguez invented and distributed the very first muscle-building anabolic steroids, as well as amphetamines and HGH, said MLB executive vice president Rob Manfred, who noted that Rodriguez began early testing and development of the performance-enhancing drugs in a laboratory near Seattle. We also now know beyond doubt that in the ensuing years, Mr. Rodriguez refined steroids to make them less detectable, and in blatant contempt of league regulations continued to supply doctors with the illegal substances that have stained the reputation of baseball forever. At press time, Alex Rodriguez was reportedly concocting a new lethal chemical agent capable of wiping out the entire Eastern Seaboard. 
3	Scientists Sound Off: Ban GMO Testing In IndiaElizabeth Renter Naturalsociety.com As we reported last month, the proposed ban, backed by a committee appointed by the India Supreme Court, would ban GMO field trials for 10 years, at the very minimum, postponing the damaging environmental and health hazards of the seeds and GMO foods. India is (rightfully) concerned that the GMO field trials of Monsanto could lead to significant contamination of other farms in the country, contamination which could be the undoing of many otherwise-sustainable farms. What we really need is a shift in paradigm, where a holistic approach drives our interventions in agriculture without reductionist solutions hogging the center-stage and taking away precious resources, said Professor Hans Herren, Co-Chair of the International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science, and Technology for Development (IAASTD), and winner of the 1995 World Food Prize. These top scientists gathered to mark their support for the measure that could offer just one more significant blow to the seed-giant. Conventional crops arent only safer than GM crops; they are more productive. And any step closer to instituting GMO seeds in India or elsewhere is a step away from farm productivity and sustainable agriculture. This isnt the only problemfarmers who are forced to use the GM seeds pay higher prices and take greater risks. This is seen in the shocking suicide rates among farmers who have moved to GM crops, a frightening occurrence. In 2009, for instance, about one Indian farmer killed himself every 30 minutes. With the risks of GM crops at undeniable levels, countries across the world are leading the way in stopping Monsanto in its tracks. One can only hope their fervor will continue to spread.

3	Memory-holed Scientist Feared Resonant Frequency Ray Gun Would Fall into Wrong HandsBy Aaron Dykes and Melissa Melton Dr. Baranski reportedly found in animal studies that the depending upon the angle, this technology had the potential capability of doubling ones lifespan, or alternately, killing an entire population. The same technology, he believed, could even be used to unleash an energy supply to rival nuclear power. Moreover, the wave energy could be beamed to trigger the effect from long distances, with the ability in 1963 to even reach the moon. However, Dr. Baranskis work with resonant frequencies, as well as his in depth research into theoretical physics and Unified Field Theory, which was conducted with Dr. Lancelot Law Whyte and Dr. Albert Einstein, has been all but lost to history virtually memory holed. As a point of reference, Leo Baranski doesnt even have a Wikipedia entry, and is only briefly mentioned in a stub article on his colleague Lancelot Law Whyte, though he was promising enough in 1963 to garner a widely circulated profile story in the Associated Press, entitled Scientist Will Test Ray Gun on Self, and to be featured in Newsweeks March 4, 1963 edition: Further, Baranskis credentials are extensive: he was a favorite professor in psychology at California Lutheran University, held a Ph.D from Princeton and was a senior scientist at North American Aviation, Inc. Baranski worked on the Man in Space program and collaborated with NASA, the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy while helping to design the X-15 rocket plane series, the RS-70 (XB-70 Valkyrie) bomber, and the Apollo moon ship. He was also advised in his research by Dr. Albert Einstein, and spent research time with him at the Max Planck Institute. Like other scientists who explored resonant frequencies including Nikola Tesla and Royal Raymond Rife, the implications of Dr. Baranskis research were likely considered inconvenient to the powers that be. Baranski died a suspicious and untimely death in 1971 at age 45. Reportedly, he fell ill on a Friday in August, entered the hospital and died from acute leukemia by the following Monday! Before his death, Dr. Baranski was working on a series of three books on the Unitary Field Theory, and had planned further collaboration with Dr. Lancelot Law Whyte, 25 years his senior, who died the following year in 1972. Doctors Whyte and Baranski believed that their advances in Unified or Unitary Field Theory were the key to understanding and utilizing free energy. Baranski wrote in his 1968 paper An Outline Summary of Unitary Field Theory: The possibility of tapping in free energy and unlocking truths that could rattle the power structure have proved historically unwanted by the rulers, and hence have been obscured, today only followed by a dedicated few who are all too often labeled as marginal, kooky and strange. A Dr. James Watson has continued much of Leo Baranskis work through research and making available much of his otherwise lost works. He made the following comments, that suggest the breakthroughs made by Baranski and Whyte have since been weaponized by the military industrial complex against their wishes, an attitude perhaps best evidenced by their untimely demise. Here is what Watson claims: The Quantum Mechanisms of Pyrophosphate and Their Postulated Role in the Rise of Life (Leo J.

1	Responding to recent events on Earth, God, the omniscient creator-deity worshipped by billions of followers of various faiths for more than 6,000 years, angrily clarified His longtime stance against humans killing each other Monday. God. 'Look, I don't know, maybe I haven't made myself completely clear, so for the record, here it is again,' said the Lord, His divine face betraying visible emotion during a press conference near the site of the fallen Twin Towers. 'Somehow, people keep coming up with the idea that I want them to kill their neighbor. Well, I don't. And to be honest, I'm really getting sick and tired of it. Get it straight. Not only do I not want anybody to kill anyone, but I specifically commanded you not to, in really simple terms that anybody ought to be able to understand.' Worshipped by Christians, Jews, and Muslims alike, God said His name has been invoked countless times over the centuries as a reason to kill in what He called 'an unending cycle of violence.' 'I don't care how holy somebody claims to be,' God said. 'If a person tells you it's My will that they kill someone, they're wrong. Got it? I don't care what religion you are, or who you think your enemy is, here it is one more time: No killing, in My name or anyone else's, ever again.' The press conference came as a surprise to humankind, as God rarely intervenes in earthly affairs. As a matter of longstanding policy, He has traditionally left the task of interpreting His message and divine will to clerics, rabbis, priests, imams, and Biblical scholars. Theologians and laymen alike have been given the task of pondering His ineffable mysteries, deciding for themselves what to do as a matter of faith. His decision to manifest on the material plane was motivated by the deep sense of shock, outrage, and sorrow He felt over the Sept. 11 violence carried out in His name, and over its dire potential ramifications around the globe. 'I tried to put it in the simplest possible terms for you people, so you'd get it straight, because I thought it was pretty important,' said God, called Yahweh and Allah respectively in the Judaic and Muslim traditions. 'I guess I figured I'd left no real room for confusion after putting it in a four-word sentence with one-syllable words, on the tablets I gave to Moses. How much more clear can I get?' 'But somehow, it all gets twisted around and, next thing you know, somebody's spouting off some nonsense about, 'God says I have to kill this guy, God wants me to kill that guy, it's God's will,'' God continued. 'It's not God's will, all right? News flash: 'God's will' equals 'Don't murder people.'' Worse yet, many of the worst violators claim that their actions are justified by passages in the Bible, Torah, and Qur'an. 'To be honest, there's some contradictory stuff in there, okay?' God said. 'So I can see how it could be pretty misleading. I admit itMy bad. I did My best to inspire them, but a lot of imperfect human agents have misinterpreted My message over the millennia. Frankly, much of the material that got in there is dogmatic, doctrinal bullshit. I turn My head for a second and, suddenly, all this stuff about homosexuality gets into Leviticus, and everybody thinks it's God's will to kill gays. It absolutely drives Me up the wall.' God praised the overwhelming majority of His Muslim followers as 'wonderful, pious people,' calling the perpetrators of the Sept. 11 attacks rare exceptions. 'This whole medieval concept of the jihad, or holy war, had all but vanished from the Muslim world in, like, the 10th century, and with good reason,' God said. 'There's no such thing as a holy war, only unholy ones. The vast majority of Muslims in this world reject the murderous actions of these radical extremists, just like the vast majority of Christians in America are pissed off over those two bigots on The 700 Club.' Continued God, 'Read the book: 'Allah is kind, Allah is beautiful, Allah is merciful.' It goes on and on that way, page after page. But, no, some assholes have to come along and revive this stupid holy-war crap just to further their own hateful agenda. So now, everybody thinks Muslims are all murderous barbarians. Thanks, Taliban: 1,000 years of pan-Islamic cultural progress down the drain.' God stressed that His remarks were not directed exclusively at Islamic extremists, but rather at anyone whose ideological zealotry overrides his or her ability to comprehend the core message of all world religions. 'I don't care what faith you are, everybody's been making this same mistake since the dawn of time,' God said. 'The Muslims massacre the Hindus, the Hindus massacre the Muslims. The Buddhists, everybody massacres the Buddhists. The Jews, don't even get me started on the hardline, right-wing, Meir Kahane-loving Israeli nationalists, man. And the Christians? You people believe in a Messiah who says, 'Turn the other cheek,' but you've been killing everybody you can get your hands on since the Crusades.' Growing increasingly wrathful, God continued: 'Can't you people see? What are you, morons? There are a ton of different religious traditions out there, and different cultures worship Me in different ways. But the basic message is always the same: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Shintoism... every religious belief system under the sun, they all say you're supposed to love your neighbors, folks! It's not that hard a concept to grasp.' 'Why would you think I'd want anything else? Humans don't need religion or God as an excuse to kill each otheryou've been doing that without any help from Me since you were freaking apes!' God said. 'The whole point of believing in God is to have a higher standard of behavior. How obvious can you get?' 'I'm talking to all of you, here!' continued God, His voice rising to a shout. 'Do you hear Me? I don't want you to kill anybody. I'm against it, across the board. How many times do I have to say it? Don't kill each other anymoreever! I'm fucking serious!' Upon completing His outburst, God fell silent, standing quietly at the podium for several moments. Then, witnesses reported, God's shoulders began to shake, and He wept.

2	Trump Goes NUCLEAR on Jeb Bush, Theres No Taking THIS Back... Donald Trump and Jeb Bush had it out at the most recent Republican presidential debate. They discussed going to war with ISIS, and how big of a priority it should be. Jeb is so wrong, Trump said, receiving boos in response. He then went on to attack Bushs family. They lied! They said there were weapons of mass destruction, he said. There were none and they knew there were none! Bush got defensive, arguing that Trump shouldnt be focusing on his family. Im sick and tired of him going after my family! Then Marco Rubio stepped in. I just want to say, at least on behalf of me and my family, I thank God all the time it was George W. Bush in the White House on 9/11, and not Al Gore, Rubio said to the cheers of the crowd. I think you can look back in in hindsight and say a couple of things, but he kept us safe. And not only did he keep us safe, but no matter what you want to say about weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein was in violation of U.N. resolutions, in open violation, and the world wouldnt do anything about it, he added. George W. Bush enforced what the international community refused to do and again, he kept us safe, and I am forever grateful for what he did. Do you agree with Trump or Bush? 
3	Global Patriot Act? UK Seeks Authority to Serve Warrants in AmericaBy Melissa Dykes Via USA Today: The talks are aimed at allowing British authorities access to a range of data, from interceptions of live communications to archived emails involving British suspects, according to the officials, who are not authorized to comment publicly. The claim is that everything has gone global and terror is no exception, so this is the only next logical step in combating it. Such an agreement would ensure U.S. access to data stored in the United Kingdom in support of law enforcement, terrorism, and other transnational threat investigations and support our partners ability to investigate serious crime, as well as terrorism and other transnational threats on a reciprocal basis, that official said. Considering how many threats theyve known about and been able to actually thwart, this surely isnt about further chipping away at everyones privacy along with American Constitutional protections as well as national sovereignty at all. Its amazing how fast our borders have disappeared in the technological age. Congressional approval will still be required, but since this is a you pat my back, Ill pat yours kind of deal, its not likely theyll say no.

National security/terrorism I can ALMOST agree with. Garden variety crime, youre on your own to do old-fashioned police investigation. Im not willing to give up my right or sovereignty for robbery or even murder. So UK warrants are going to be valid in the USA, and where does that stop? Are North Korean warrants also going to be valid? What about the Constitution? What about sovereignty? Exactly! ABSOLUTELY NOT! We need to descend on DC in massive numbers and drag every political traitor out into the streets and arrest every one who supports this treason! Arrest? I can think of a much more concise way to deal with them that they will never plague our streets again.and send a message to the rest of their type of filth. Thats not violence its communication. I would like to see you two geniuses try that. Yeah, go ahead. See what happens to you when you attempt to storm Congress and drag politicians out to the street to either be arrested (by whom? ) or executed on the spot. Do you think law enforcement will be on your side? I dare you two to try it, or are you too afraid to do ANYTHING? You are all talk and no action. You would feel like an idiot when you got to the front door and were either stopped from entering or arrested for your obvious bad intentions as evidenced by all the weapons you were bristling with. You know why you would feel like an idiot? Two reasons, (1) you failed right at the start and (2) You are an idiot. Go ahead, I dare you. The time may not be right for a revolution now. But that could change in the future. The FBI claims there are 1000 different anti government groups, that they know of. One is said to have 300,000 members. With the Internet these groups could consolidate for a common cause in the future. I think it would take a series of events. One of those events may even be stimulated by the government. Clearly a taxing war, economic failure or even natural disaster might be initiating factors. Red October occurred during WWI. As long as they wish to protect the constitution they may garner public support. We see there is a large group of voters who are tired of this government. Could there be a Red October event here in the US. Americas Blue November , time will tell. Many say its to late for votes, to early for bullets. No one in the Empire, Inc will ever do that it would require courage and morals something the Merikan populace doesnt have anymore. Now go watch your Rambo movies and fantasize how tough you all are. LMAO Youre even dumber than an idiot because you dont know that youre mentally challenged. Take some mental floss and wipe away those cobwebs from your mouth. If you need help finding it, just make another left. Is this so that when the Murkans agree to or are ordered by the courts to stop infringing on their subjects privacy, the vassal-serf Brits can provide them with what they wanted? Screw the UK. Muslim suck ups just like the Obama admin. I thought the Sons Of Liberty threw King George and his laws out of here years ago. Depends on who are the Sons of Liberty now in DC thats for sure!! 
1	Citing flagging ratings and a desire to retool its Thursday night comedy lineup, NBC announced today that Piven, the half-hour sitcom starring Jeremy Piven as a hotheaded actor on the verge of breaking into the A-list, would not be renewed for a sixth season. Piven always had a strong cult following, but unfortunately it never found a wide enough audience long-term to make it profitable for the network, said TV Guides Matt Roush of the ratings-plagued show, which reportedly suffered from several time slot reshuffles, off-set problems with costar Robert Klein, and an uneven first season. The show got a lot of mileage out of the will they/wont they thing with Jeremy and Michelle, but once that got resolved in the fourth season, the ratings never really recovered. And once it was announced that fan favorite Cybill Shepherd, who played Pivens mother, would not be returning for another season, that was pretty much the final nail in the coffin. At press time, Deadline.com had reported that the actor is slated to make a midseason return on CBS Jeremy.

Among the many 'small signs' that suggest that his son may be gay, Oebrick cited a home video in which the toddler crawls across the living-room carpet of the family's suburban Scottsdale home, wiggling his hips from side to side. 'I don't think it's normal for a baby to move like that,' said Oebrick, wincing as the infant paused and flapped an arm in the air. 'Don't you think that's a little strange?' According to Oebrick, Michael has an excessive fondness for bright colors and 'things that sparkle.' 'Sequins, glitter, feathers,' said the recent father, listing some of the things that Michael likes. 'And he really likes flowers.' According to Oebrick, Michael is fussy during meals and picky about his clothes. When he hurts himself, he 'cries like a baby.' Additionally, the toddler has a 'very strong attraction' to a stuffed lion with a rainbow-striped mane, an apparent preference for bottle-feeding over breastfeeding, and an evident love for bouncing up and down in his jumper device 'like some guy at a club.' New to parenting, Oebrick said he is 'plagued' by demanding responsibilities, unexpected expenses, and 'a million tiny things' that indicate that his infant son might be a homosexual. Oebrick said he doubts that strangers can even tell that Michael is a boy when they first meet him, but he acknowledged that this is not his biggest concern. According to the recent father, his most urgent concern is the confused baby's constant need to suck on a pacifier. 'That can't be right. Can it?' Oebrick said. Oebrick said he first began to worry about Michael's sexual orientation when the boy was two months old. 'He would giggle constantly,' Oebrick said. 'And he had a very weak handshake.' Oebrick recalled the first time he saw his newborn child smile. 'Obviously, I was thrilled,' Oebrick said. 'But the thing is, he kept on smiling. He'd smile through breakfast, he'd smile in his car seat, he'd smile at strangers. It was excessive. It was around then I started to think, 'What if Michael can't help himself?'' According to Oebrick, there were several months during which the infant's head would wobble if it wasn't supported by an adult. 'He was always swinging his head around,' Oebrick said. 'Our pediatrician told me it was normal, but it seemed pretty... well, gay.' Oebrick's worries were renewed last month during a Memorial Day cookout, when Michael 'seemed too interested in my buddies,' staring at them for long intervals. 'My friend Ben was bouncing Michael on his knee, and he was giggling and drooling like crazy,' Oebrick said. 'That didn't bother me so much, but when Ben put him down, Michael started crawling after every other guy at the party, giggling and grabbing at their pants legs like crazy.' 'It was like he was the belle of the ball,' Oebrick said. 'When Rob played peek-a-boo with him, he got so excited he actually wet his pants.' Oebrick repeatedly said that, no matter what his son's sexual orientation, he refuses to be a 'distant father.' 'My dad was rarely around,' Oebrick said. 'He was always either working or drinking with his buddies, and that left my mom to raise me and my sisters. It won't be like that for Michael. He'll have a strong male role model. It looks like he's really gonna need it.' 
3	Neocon Think-Tank Director Suggests False Flag Needed to Start War With IranSusanne Posel, Contributor WINEP was founded in 1985 by Martin Indyk, former US Ambassador to Israel and former deputy director of research for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) which is the largest and most influential Zionist-controlled pro-Israeli lobby on Capitol Hill. Other founders of WINEP include self-proclaimed Zionists such as Paul Wolfowitz, president of the World Bank from 2005 2007; Cheryl Halpren who worked for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (PBS); neocon Daniel Pipes; Bud McFarlane, involved in the Iran-Contra affair; Eugene Victor Rostow, former dean of education at Yale Law School; and James Woolsey, former director of the CIA. The Neo-conservatist (neocon) perspectiveoriginates in Trotskyism and Stalinism which is the belief is that life of the civil society should be directed and regulated by the all-powerful State (in both its political and economic domains). As a neocon, Clawson adheres to the Communist-based philosophy that the domination of the state in society and the symbol of the head (as realized by the President) is as the royal decree that their power to rule is divinely imbued. Neocons haveinfiltratednearly every corner of our government as placed in high-level and official standing. In the past, this was accomplished through other covert operations such as false flag attacks. This method is still used today, as was witnessed most recently during 9/11, the fake revolutions in the Arab nations, the Occupy Wall St. phenomenon and others that have spawned were directed carefully by the guiding hand of the Zionist-backed infiltrators who work to bring Communism to sovereign nations. In a recent interview Clawson gave to Pete Santilli of The Pete Santilli Show,there was a definitive denial of recent comments Clawson made concerning the video of a discussion at the WINEP that has subsequently gone viral. Santilli questioned Clawson about his comments regarding crisis initiation and the suggestion that sinking an Iranian submarine could be an example of a false flag that would facilitate the US entering war with Iran. Clawson became belligerent and lost all composure, according to Santillis recollection of the conversation. Clawson denied that he had ever made those comments even after Santilli played the audio of the video over the phone during the interview. Santilli explains that Clawson came unglued when clarification of the suggestive remarks about using crisis initiation (i.e. false flags) to instigate war with Iran were made. Although Clawson denied making those comments, this is not the first time he has publicly called for covert operations as a traditional means of bringing America to war. In January of 2012, Clawson saidthat covert campaigns were preferable to overt air strikes by Israel or the US with regard to striking Iranian nuclear sites. Sabotage and assassination is the way to go, if you can do it. It doesnt provoke a nationalist reaction in Iran, which could strengthen the regime. And it allows Iran to climb down if it decides the cost of pursuing a nuclear weapon is too high. That same month, an Iranian scientist was mysteriously killed in a car explosion wherein Iran quickly blamed the Israeli terrorist group, Mossad. Israeli officials referred to the killing as precision thwarting which is code for causing an event to occur with the expressed purpose of instigating war with a foreign nation (i.e. false flag attack). For over two decades, Israeli officials have been decryingthat Iran was producing a nuclear weapon, regardless of the lack of proof. In fact, the US and European nations assistedIran in beginning their nuclear power program under the Atoms for Peace initiative until the state-sponsored removal of the Shah of Iran. Israels Mossad employedthe Peoples Mujahedin of Iran (PMOI) to assist them in carrying out the car bombing of the Iranian nuclear scientist. At the time, the PMOI was designated by the US as a terrorist group because of the killing of American soldiers and contractors in the 1970s while supporting the takeover of a US Embassy in Iran before breaking with the Iranian mullahs in the 1980s. The PMOI is the Iranian branch of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) which was trained, financed and used by the US in conjunction with the Israeli government and the Mossad. In the case of the Iranian nuclear scientist that was killed, the Obama administration had foreknowledge, yet chose not to become involved so that no ties could be traced back to the current presidential administration. In response, Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State categorically deniedthat the US was involved in any way with the bombing and death of the Iranian nuclear scientist. The MEK and the Mossad trained Israeli secret agents in the use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) as to familiarize themselves with the scheme to commit an assassination against Iranian nuclear scientists. Fereydoon Abbassi, the Director of Atomic Organization of Iran,predictedthat since the Zionist regime could not prevent scientific advancements in Iran it resorts to assassinating Iranian scientists. In retaliation, Israeli mainstream media claimsthat the PMOI attack was actually carried out by the Iranians to frame the Israeli government. In March of this year, Patrick Clawson appearedon al-Jazeera television wherein he explains that the MEK allegations that it was involved in the assassination of nuclear scientists inside Iran If we are going to say that everyone involved in targeted assassinations is responsible as a terrorist, than Mr. Obama would be quickly thrown in jail because the United States has killed over a thousand people with its targeted assassinations through drones. Targeted assassinations have even included American citizens. If we use targeted assassinations as an instrument of war the United States is well accepted. Clawson points out that we may not like that Israel uses targeted assassinations as a valid instrument of war, but it is a valid instrument of war. This comment harkens back to the recent comments Clawson made regarding crisis initiation and its use to facilitate war with Iran. When Clawson pointed outthat he did not believe that Obama could get us to war, he was referring to the current sanctionsplaced on Iran. Sanctions hurt the citizensof a nation, not the elite or members of the government being sanctioned. The purpose of the sanctions against Iran was to facilitate an uprising just as was manufactured in Egypt with the Arab Spring which toppled the government and allowed the US to installtheir Muslim Brotherhood operative Mohammed Morsi. Concerning Iran, AIPAC coerced the US Congress to impose stricter sanctionson Iran with HR 1905 and the desire to inspire the revolution of Iranian citizens against their government. However, this plan did not work. Obamas decision to use diplomacy against Iran is frustratingIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who is calling for a military strike on the sovereign nation as soon as possible preferably before November elections in the US. As far back as 2004, Clawson was publicly displaying his disdainfor the designation of the PMOI-MEK as terrorists by the US government. Knowing that the PMOI-MEK could be used to topple Iran under the covert operation of a false flag, Clawson spoke out at the same time as the information concerning the Franklin Scandalwas beginning to break. In response to this problem, Clinton removedthe PMOI-MEK from the designated terrorist groups list to free the faction to do the bidding of the Zionist regime and facilitate the crisis initiation that Patrick Clawson spoke about last week. A State Department statement revealed that: The secretary of state has decided, consistent with the law, to revoke the designation of the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK) and its aliases as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) under the Immigration and Nationality Act and to delist the MEK as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist under Executive Order 13224. MEK is supportedby the US government; as well as select members of Congress, former heads of the FBI and CIA, former US cabinet secretaries and politicians from Democrat and Republican parties. Clinton explained her decision to remove the PMOI-MEK from the terrorist list as a correct decision which sets aside a serious obstacle on the path of the Iranian people and Resistance to achieve democracy in Iran. In February of this year, in an interview with Greta Van Susteren, Clinton admittedthat the US trained the MEK in Afghanistan when the US was engaged in using the terrorist faction against the Russians. The MEK became the CIA-controlled faction known as al-Qaeda. Clinton said: When the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan we had this brilliant idea that we were gonna come to Pakistan and create a force of Mujahideen, equip them with stinger missiles, and everything else and go after the Soviets in Afghanistan. This is the creation of al-Qaeda. Clinton goes on to say: We were successful. We said great; and we left Afghanistan . . . Leaving these trained people who were fanatical in Afghanistan and Pakistan . Leaving them well armed and creating a mess at the time we didnt recognize. When you look back today, the people we are fighting today, we were supporting in the fight against the Soviets. Laying the groundwork for the coming war with Iran are the Communist infiltrators such as Patrick Clawson, who are supporting the Zionist agenda by coercing US elected officials to stand behind their takeover of the Middle East. By using the PMOI-MEK as terrorist factions against the Iranian government, Clawson may see his inference of crisis initiation come to pass. The plan for the coercive uprising in Iran by way of sanctions has not panned out. Zionist-puppet Netanyahu is becoming increasingly impatient. Standing on the precipice of WW III, we are being led to the slaughter by the Zionist regime, with the use of Communistic ideals in order to transform not only America, but all the sovereign nations into exporters of democracy.

3	American Representative to the UN Calls for Worldwide DepopulationSusanne Posel, Contributor In his 2004 talk entitled Sustainable Development, the New International Scientific Order, and UN Reform, Dittman defines sustainable development in a unique way. He states: Economic (and other) development that leads to reduction in population toward an optimum level for maximization of the quality of life, i.e. environmentally benign development that reduces the birth rate. Dittmans professional history includes, among other notations, his affiliation with UNESCO. UNESCO, in 1974, was integral in using clever mind-control and brainwashing techniques in all facets of societal controls; including mass media, public and private school programs to steer the public perception about depopulation. The rationale behind the MAB (Man and the Biosphere) programme is to ensure that the physical, biological and other environmental requirements of man are placed in the hands of each of us (present) and remain under our overall control. This international community he references is the UN. He goes on to say, I wish to reiterate my firm conviction together with my hope that a new world order political, monetary, economic and social- should now be established. Dittman believes that in order to bring about the events necessary for depopulation, there must be a global governance to oversee all directives and make sure they are carried out. Since this is a global effort, it requires global organization, both governmental and popular. Under the rule of an international scientific order Dittman asserts that not only do people require organization about their (multiple) identities (including professional, scholarly, and scientific), they need international, even supranational affiliation, facing a common adversary.

3	Start Your Own Seed Bank: How to Beat the Food Killers at Their Own GameThis is as important as having your own garden unless you want to starve next year. Not today, but tomorrow. Believe it! Big companies and government will it. While having a nice stash of freeze-dried, dehydrated and canned foods is great fall-back, nothing can replace fresh crisp garden vegetables and fragrant, sweet fruit. Increasingly, it is incumbent on individuals to maintain their own supply of life-sustaining seeds. Image, right: Seed storage containers on metal shelving inside the vault in Svalbard, Norway. (Wikipedia) Seed vaults are not a new concept and had its roots 40 years ago over growing concerns for maintaining bio-diversity. A decade ago, it became mainstream when the global seed vault in Svalbard, Norway took center stage. It is just one of some 1,400 seeds banks around the world. Bet this puts a crimp in Monsantos Day! As of 2010, in that location alone, more than 500,000 unique seeds rest waiting to bail out humanity. So what is the chance that the ordinary human would ever have access? Zip. Zero. Cero. Nada. Zilch. Sero. Nulla. Nid. This one vault of hundreds is in place to serve the global elite, not us. That Bill and Melinda Gates are instrumental in this project should say everything. So now we circle around to what we, the every day person, can do to ensure that we have the same benefits, sans the New World Order. Create your own seed bank. It is such a simple deal that it seems really silly to write on this topic. However, it you havent investigated it, then maybe its not so silly. Maybe it will help you. This is what you need: seeds. Period. Well, OK, and maybe a bit of know-how. This article shows you how to maintain your own private seed bank that will keep you vegetable (therefore vitamin) self-sufficient. Healthy. Seeds have been preserved in ancient Egyptian tombs and found viable to present day. Remember the mummies? Egyptians completely dried out their ancestors to the point where scientists today can carefully examine their bodies. Ditto for Israelis that preserved Judean date palms (the Methuselah tree) going back to Jesus time. Now look at the oldest plant to have ever have been regenerated from 32,000 year-old seed. OK, dont laugh, these seeds were buried by Siberian squirrels no relation to Putin a testament to keeping seeds really cold. Surely we are smarter than squirrels! Why should it be any different now? Its not. You just have to know what to do to keep your seeds viable for many years. This is in direct opposition to what seed companies want you to believe, especially the 6 big opponents to self-sufficiency: Monsanto, Syngenta, DuPont, Bayer, BASF and Dow. So say them that you cant keep seeds for much longer than what the package says, even properly stored. Baloney! Double ditto for medications that drug companies want you to believe die quickly as was exposed in Dare To Prepare. This is beyond criminal and wasteful. Americans buy $350 billion of prescription drugs every year. Then people needlessly throw a great deal of them away because they believe the pharmecuetical lie. Shelf lives extend MUCH longer than what they would have you believe. You just have to know what to do. I will share the secrets. MONSANTO AND LINKED-IN COMPANIES Look at how seed, chemical and pharmaceutical companies are all in bed together enjoying an incestuous affair. They interbreed through an unholy alliance. They now control 98% of the worlds seeds with precious little left for people who wish to grow plants without genetic modification. We want to self-sustain with fruits and veggies seed-to-seed, as God intended. A much larger, readable version of this image appears in Garden Gold. Sound extreme? Its not. If you have a few years under your belt, look back three, no, just two decades ago. Do you even recognize our Country? Daily mainstream news comes in bits and pieces so bad information is dribbled on us like sweet, benign pastry ooze. We never absorb the entire poisonous picture. However, looking at our Nation by several-year jumps, you get a BIG head jerk into reality and question, What has happened to us? Friends in Canada, England, Australia and New Zealand share its the same thing there; however, they are more shocked by whats happening to our bastion of freedom. So dont be a dumbo. Lets outsmart them. Your first assignment is to have your own small food bank of self-sustaining seeds. Even if your neighbors arent yet on board, they will be soon. Wait till their bellies growl they will be your biggest devotes. Even the blindest individual will see whats happening once their stock portfolio, investments and retirement go skew-whiff as in vanished. Then theyll think between cocktails and rounds of golf, Whered my $ go? Its bad enough these conglomerates bought up (and continue to do so) formerly non-patented, open-pollinated and heirloom seeds. See this list of seed terms before purchasing anything. Then they genetically engineer them to grow weakly unless receiving heavy doses of Round-Up and other cancer-causing pesticides. Those guys say its all about seed growth. Ya, think? Its about our slow death and their control. DEATH FOR A PRICE Bought scientists have gone one step further to render seeds sterile after one season. It used to be that seeds grown from hybrid plants reverted to one or the other parent plant, bypassing the combined strength and benefits of the parents. Hybrids produced a more disease-resistant variety, bigger, more vigorous and more flavorful fruit, or grew veggies at a faster rate. The end product was better, but the downside is that seeds from these plants, known as F1s, dont pass on these enhancements. Its a one-shot deal and then their seeds go back to the less-than-spectacular parent. A gardener can still grow these F1 seeds, but its iffy what the fruit or vegetable might look and taste like. Farmers would never venture here as they may also be more susceptible to disease. Terminator seeds go hideously beyond hybrids and are dead in a season. They dont reproduce anything good, bad or indefinite. They are dead seed. Is there anything more inherently evil? This is how the big 6 mega-conglomerates are taking control of our food supply. This is unspeakable. Unthinkable. Its all about the New World Order and if we will submit to being a food slave. This is not what God and nature intended, yet they knowingly and with forethought take peoples food futures and crush them with their patents and bio-tech. It is all about greed and control. Greed and control. SOWING A BAD SEED? Its not that you cant store and grow hybrids long-term under proper conditions, but you will NOT be able to harvest the best veggies from the first offspring seeds. Thereafter that first season, they become only worse IF they even grow. Remember that old Chiffon margarine commercial Its not NICE to fool (with) Mother Nature! We laughed back then, but it was a creepy foreshadowing. Here are some Monsanto-owned seed names(1). This list is by no means exhaustive, nor does it include hybrid and terminator seeds from the other five big offenders. Unfortunately it includes some of our favorites: Early Girl tomatoes, Mucho Nacho peppers, Early Butternut squash, Stringless Blue Lake green beans and California Wonder sweet peppers.

Hybrids will pollute your heirlooms and youll end up with junk seeds. SEED BANK SUCCESS CHOOSE THE RIGHT SEEDS For the bulk of your bank, choose open-pollinated, heirloom seeds. If a certain hybrid veggie makes your mouth water, then store some of those, too, should you not object to supporting seed-killing conglomerates. Just dont plant any heirlooms of that same food during that season or plant them far enough apart that there is zero chance of cross-pollination. That could render your seed bank seeds useless. STORAGE CONTAINERS Seeds, like food, wait to be taken from garden to lips, and must be protected for best nutrition and viability. The main enemies of stored food apply though their two top killers are heat and moisture. Heat kills everything. Full stop. End of story. Moisture rots them. Second nasty issue. Both of these potential problems can be handled by storing prepared seeds in your freezer. If rodents find your seeds sitting on a shelf, they could be polished off in just a few days. For an unprotected food pantry, itd take considerably longer. Rodents ADORE seeds. Its rodent crack mixed with heroin. Once they figure the route to your supply, they will be continual guests at the banquet table unless you fix the point of entry. Mouse urine and droppings are snout-to-mouth pheromones. Mice provide vivid road maps for Blind Freddy, the mouse. All of his aunts, uncles, siblings, parents, cousins and grandmothers 3 times removed will follow. They are now your #1 seed enemy. Light and air are lesser issues, but pests, if they eat the seeds, youve got nothing. Especially for seeds saved from your own plants, insects can be a problem. Even if insects survive the freezer, they will be rendered inactive until thawed. They cant chew when they resemble a block of ice. Adding a few pinches of Diatomaceous Earth to the container and stirring the seeds gently is a good non-toxic solution. Time isnt that big of a concern unless seeds are sitting on a (non-freezer) shelf without protection. Look at seeds that have been kept for millennia and are still viable, so its a testament to proper storage. Otherwise, they will expire in their normal, natural life span. It varies greatly by seed type. See Garden Gold for the BIG shelf life list. Some of the best, most economical storage containers include: Avoid Ziplocs, Baggies and other similarly lightweight plastic sacks. Even Ziplocs line of freezer bags arent the best moisture barriers. FREEZING WITH FOODSAVERS The method we like best for our seed bank is the FoodSaver. Weve used it for 30 years now for making documents waterproof, silver tarnish-free and keeping foods extra fresh. When FoodSaver was first introduced by the Tilia Corporation, the original model had its own little vacuum hose and is still the most heavy-duty unit they ever produced. We still have that first unit. A few years ago we bought a newer professional model and it doesnt perform quite as well as the original. Regardless, the FoodSaver has undergone many transformations and is invaluable to any prepper for countless uses. TO USE Its simply a matter of putting the seeds (or food) in the bag, slide the open end into the channel in the front, hit the top right button to remove the air and then push the left button to seal. Buy using a bag larger than the seed contents, youll be able to cut open and reseal the bag many times over. Other plusses for using the FoodSaver include: TIP: Keep seeds in their original packet as most show not only a food photo, but the package gives the stated expected shelf life date without taking extra measures. WHERE TO PUT THEM If your aim is to store seeds for the expected life, they can be kept in rodent-proof containers at a constant ambient room temperature of no higher than 65F (18C). For example, if the normal shelf life of a pepper is 2 years, they can be stored in their original packets at room temp and most will be viable in 2 years. This doesnt mean the entire bunch of seeds will fall over dead at the stroke of 24 months. However, germination will be less, which means youll need to sow more seeds to get the same number of plants compared to those within the stated shelf life. This is not the aim of a seed bank. For that, you want to store seeds for the longest time possible and not have to replace them. It saves a ton of money in the long run and keeps you independent of the clutches of seed / pharmaceutical / chemical dragons. To achieve this, a space needs to be reserved in your freezer for these precious life-sustainers. Last Christmas, Stan asked for a hint here and there what Id like for a present. Before he could blink, a freezer popped out of my mouth. A bit of an eye-roll ensued as he thought it was not much of a personal gift, but when you put a few decades into life, you can only wear so much jewelry, etc. etc. Practical things catch our interest now. The other cool thing is that around the holidays, freezers among other appliances, are a good 25% off. Open a charge account with Sears or another retailer and you might get another 20% off. The year before we bought the seeds, they sat in our cool basement without permanent, proper housing. Our regular freezer was stuffed and there was no room for seeds. So a freezer Santa brought! According to Colorado State University, seeds shelf lives can be extended to at least 10 years, or more, when kept in the freezer. Other sources state seeds can be kept for 40 years when stored at 0F or C. This is the exact temperature that global seed vaults maintain.(2) The other big factor is ensuring seeds that are to be frozen are very dry, down to 8% moisture. This is not such an issue if freezing purchased seeds. They have been professionally dried. Seeds plucked from your own plants must be thoroughly dried. The reasons why and how to do this will be covered in another article at a later date. TERMS TO KNOW Obviously, the first thing needed is seeds, whether storing heirloom, open-pollinated or hybrids. As explained in Garden Gold, some terms are interchangeable, some arent. This is the first place to start. Know what youre buying. Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) is the most invasive action taken on a seed. The best-known example of seed altering was the introduction of an Arctic flounder gene into a strawberry to make it frost resistant. You have to wonder whoever dreams the idea of mating fish and strawberries. They are such an unlikely combination. The fear is that continued GMO tinkering will produce Frankenfoods. Non-GMO is often equated with non-hybrid seeds. It is usually the case. Technically, a seed could be tweaked for root rot resistance, for example, but its reproductive system hasnt been altered so it still allows seeds to be saved and used generationally. This is really a hybridized seed. Organic is another term that some companies use indiscriminately and customers assume this means heirloom. You can grow hybrids or heirlooms with chemicals and pesticides. It only refers to the lack of added harmful chemicals. Untreated seed is another term for organic seed. Hybrid To produce a hybrid, two very different parent plants are crossed. Hopefully the best of each parent is passed onto the resulting plant. In a rose for instance, of the two parent plants, one might have sweeter scent but smaller petals. The other rose might produce larger flowers but lack fragrance. When these two plants are grafted together, the aim is to produce a richer smelling, larger flower than either of the parents. In vegetables, the goal is much the same to produce stronger, higher yielding, healthier, uniform, predictable crops. This offspring is called the F1 first filial or first generation. Heirloom Older varieties saved for generations in Europe were brought over to the Americas and passed on seed-to-seed for generations. Opinions vary on how old a variety should be to qualify as an heirloom; most consider seeds grown prior to 1950 as heirlooms. These are good choices for home gardeners. Overall heirloom veggies arent as large as hybrids and they arent as uniform either. However, they are often hardier since survival of the fittest enabled them to endure over many generations. Another advantage to heirloom seeds is they dont all necessarily mature at the same time as hybrids are programmed to do. This lets you enjoy their bounty over weeks instead of days. Heritage seed Same as heirloom. Open-pollinated simply means that a plant has been fertilized by the wind or nature without human intervention. They produce new plants that are just like the parent plant, as long as it has not cross-pollinated with another variety. All heirloom seeds are open-pollinated, but all open-pollinated seeds arent heirlooms. Seeds retailer often designate them as OP.

3	Israel proposes natural gas pipeline to Southern EuropeSteven MacMillan Israel has proposed that EU countries invest in a multi-billion euro pipeline to carry its natural gas to the continent, noting that the supply from Israel would reduce Europes current dependence on natural gas from Russia The project would require a multi-billion euro investment from Europe to build a pipeline from Israels Mediterranean cost to Cyprus, from where the gas would be carried on to Greece and Italy. The Cypriot energy minister Yiorgos Lakkotrypis, along with his Greek counterpart Yiannis Maniatis, have both publicly supported the initiative in recent weeks, with officials estimating that the pipeline will have a relatively small capacity of 8-12 billion cubic meters. Construction of the pipeline also presents some technical difficulties as sections of the route would run through deep waters, resulting in EU officials requesting feasibility studies to be conducted. The West is lacking options with regards to reducing dependence on Russian gas in the foreseeable future and is desperately (and unsuccessfully) trying to find alternatives. Gazprom supplied Europe with a whopping 161.5 billion cubic meters of gas in 2013, which gives the government in Moscow important leverage over many European nations due to their dependence on Russian energy. This is not going to change in the near future, as the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies concluded in a recent report: There is limited scope for significantly reducing overall European dependence on Russian gas before the mid-2020s, with the report citing only a combination of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) and pipeline gas from Azerbaijan as possible alternatives. With Bashar al-Assad still in power in Syria, Qatar is blocked from constructing a natural gas pipeline from the South Pars/North Dome gas field in the Persian Gulf to Turkey, which would potentially be extended to supply the European market. Turkey also appears to be moving closer to Russia in recent months, which if true, will reduce the likelihood of Ankara cooperating with any further pipelines being allowed to run through Turkish soil which undermines Moscow, signifying a tectonic shift in Eurasian energy geopolitics. As relations become increasingly frosty between the belligerent EU and Russia, many in the Washington now seek to split Moscow from Brussels, in attempt to isolate Russia. This strategy will only serve to drive Russia closer to Asia, however, and strengthen the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) alliance. Vladimir Putin recently announced the death of the South Stream pipeline due to pressure from Washington and EU Commission bureaucrats on the Bulgarian government, at the same time energy deals were struck with Turkey and India. Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller was in Ankara at the start of December where he signed a memorandum of understanding on building an offshore gas pipeline across the Black Sea towards Turkey. Turkey is Gazproms second largest market in Europe with the Russian energy giant supplying 26.7 billion cubic meters of natural gas in 2013. Turkeys political orientation is of vital geopolitical importance in todays world and it is becoming somewhat of a tug-of-war between Russia and the West over who wields the greatest political influence, with Ankara showing signs of leaning East in recent months despite its membership in NATO. Putin has also recently visited India where he has cemented bilateral relations between the two nations, agreeing deals in the energy, nuclear and defence sectors. The Indian conglomerate Essar Group, has just signed a $10 billion energy deal to import Russian oil for 10 years beginning in 2015, as the Russian leader is positioning Russia as a reliable energy supplier to the Asian markets. Putin said in a statement: Historically, Russia has exported most of its hydrocarbons to the West. However, European consumption is increasing too slowly, while political, regulatory and transit risks are on the rise. These deals follow an array of momentous energy deals being signed between Moscow and Beijing in 2014, as well as Russia building stronger ties with Tehran this year.

3	Drone Nation: The Rise of the Unmanned Aerial Machines (With Infographic)selfnews Post In just a few short years, we have witnessed the revelation (and disbelief) of drone tests on American soil, to micro drones commissioned by local police departments, to worldwide outrage over drone bombings around the world and the innocents killed, to the realization that drone tech is reaching disturbing levels as constant surveillance threatens to reach into our own backyards. Perhaps more than where we are at, it is where we are going. The latest revelation is that there are potentially 110 drone bases on American soil. This is confirmation that what was said by drone expert P.W. Singer was not hyperbole: The following infographic offers some interesting facts about how this seemingly new technology has permeated our living space, and which country is not only responsible for the spread of drone tech, but which country is the only one with majority support from its citizens for drone attacks. It would seem that we had best keep our eyes on the skies at the very least. Read other articles by selfnews Post HERE 
3	11 Predictions Of Economic Disaster In 2015 From Top Experts All Over The GlobeBy Michael Snyder Over the past couple of years, we have all watched as global financial bubbles have gotten larger and larger. Despite predictions that they could burst at any time, they have just continued to expand. But just like we witnessed in 2001 and 2008, all financial bubbles come to an end at some point, and when they do implode the pain can be extreme. Personally, I am entirely convinced that the financial markets are more primed for a financial collapse now than they have been at any other time since the last crisis happened nearly seven years ago. And I am certainly not alone. At this point, the warning cries have become a deafening roar as a whole host of prominent voices have stepped forward to sound the alarm. The following are 11 predictions of economic disaster in 2015 from top experts all over the globe #1 Bill Fleckenstein: They are trying to make the stock market go up and drag the economy along with it. Its not going to work. Theres going to be a big accident. When people realize that its all a charade, the dollar will tank, the stock market will tank, and hopefully bond markets will tank. Gold will rally in that period of time because its done what its done because people have assumed complete infallibility on the part of the central bankers. #2 John Ficenec: In the US, Professor Robert Shillers cyclically adjusted price earnings ratio or Shiller CAPE for the SP 500 is currently at 27.2, some 64pc above the historic average of 16.6. On only three occasions since 1882 has it been higher in 1929, 2000 and 2007. #3 Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, one of the most respected economic journalists on the entire planet: The eurozone will be in deflation by February, forlornly trying to ignite its damp wood by rubbing stones. Real interest rates will ratchet higher. The debt load will continue to rise at a faster pace than nominal GDP across Club Med. The region will sink deeper into a compound interest trap. #4 The Jerome Levy Forecasting Center, which correctly predicted the bursting of the subprime mortgage bubble in 2007: Clearly the direction of most of the recent global economic news suggests movement toward a 2015 downturn. #5 Paul Craig Roberts: At any time the Western house of cards could collapse. It (the financial system) is a house of cards. There are no economic fundamentals that support stock prices the Dow Jones. There are no economic fundamentals that support the strong dollar #6 David Tice: I have the same kind of feel in 98 and 99; also 05 and 06. This is going to end badly. I have every confidence in the world. #7 Liz Capo McCormick and Susanne Walker: Get ready for a disastrous year for U.S. government bonds. Thats the message forecasters on Wall Street are sending. #8 Phoenix Capital Research: Just about everything will be hit as well. Most of the recovery of the last five years has been fueled by cheap borrowed Dollars. Now that the US Dollar has broken out of a multi-year range, youre going to see more and more risk assets (read: projects or investments fueled by borrowed Dollars) blow up. Oil is just the beginning, not a standalone story. If things really pick up steam, theres over $9 TRILLION worth of potential explosions waiting in the wings. Imagine if the entire economies of both Germany and Japan exploded and youve got a decent idea of the size of the potential impact on the financial system. #9 Rob Kirby: What this breakdown in the crude oil price is going to spawn another financial crisis. It will be tied to the junk debt that has been issued to finance the shale oil plays in North America. It is reported to be in the area of half a trillion dollars worth of junk debt that is held largely on the books of large financial institutions in the western world. When these bonds start to fail, they will jeopardize the future of these financial institutions. I do believe that will be the signal for the Fed to come riding to the rescue with QE4. I also think QE4 is likely going to be accompanied by bank bail-ins because we all know all western world countries have adopted bail-in legislation in their most recent budgets. The financial elites are engineering the excuse for their next round of money printing . . . and they will be confiscating money out of savings accounts and pension accounts. Thats what I think is coming in the very near future. #10 John Ing: The 2008 collapse was just a dress rehearsal compared to what the world is going to face this time around. This time we have governments which are even more highly leveraged than the private sector was. So this time the collapse will be on a scale that is many magnitudes greater than what the world witnessed in 2008. #11 Gerald Celente: What does the word confidence mean? Break it down. In this case confidence = con men and con game. Thats all it is. So people will lose confidence in the con men because they have already shown their cards. Its a Ponzi scheme. So the con game is running out and they dont have any more cards to play. What are they going to do? They cant raise interest rates. We saw what happened in the beginning of December when the equity markets started to unravel. So it will be a loss of confidence in the con game and the con game is soon coming to an end. That is when you are going to see panic on Wall Street and around the world. If you have been following my website, you know that I have been pointing to 2015 for quite some time now. For example, in my article entitled The Seven Year Cycle Of Economic Crashes That Everyone Is Talking About, I discussed the pattern of financial crashes that we have witnessed every seven years that goes all the way back to the Great Depression. The last two major stock market crashes began in 2001 and 2008, and now here we are seven years later. Will the same pattern hold up once again? In addition, there are many other economic cycles that seem to indicate that we are due for a major economic downturn. I discussed quite a few of these theories in my article entitled If Economic Cycle Theorists Are Correct, 2015 To 2020 Will Be Pure Hell For The United States. But just like in 2000 and 2007, there are a whole host of doubters that are fully convinced that the party can continue indefinitely. Even though our economic fundamentals continue to get worse, our debt levels continue to grow and every objective measurement shows that Wall Street is more reckless and more vulnerable to collapse than ever before, they mock the idea that a financial collapse is imminent. So lets see what happens in 2015. I have a feeling that it is going to be an extremely interesting year. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog. 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. How is Martin Armstrong not mentioned here? Hes been talking about 2015 for 30 years. Anyone ever notice that the economic downturn, comes every 7 years? Its biblical!! Every 7 years a country gets worse in worse in SIN, the next 7 year mark gets worse economically. 2001-2008 (7 years) 2008-2015 (7 years). (Go 7 years back from 2001 if you like) So with all the homosexual marriages gaining a big foothold in this country? You can be sure that Gods anger is coming to a boil. Pestilences (the flu, and other diseases), Earthquakes, Rumors of wars, etc. Its all a wake up call. So how many websites authors and commentors are worried about about the economy in 2015? Lots, besides acivistpost. I keep them all in my Economy folder online. I have secular and biblical sites. Its gonna be a hard ride this year folks, buckle up, or lets have a revival! So God is mad at homosexuals getting married and therefore unleashing his wrath on the financial markets worldwide? Makes perfect sense Indeed it does. I think that the Lord is mad about many things. God already knew what was going to happen, so no he isnt mad or surprised- you dont surprise God, but you can glorify him by doing the right thing. Im not going to touch the gay thing. If God finds that wrong, it will be between him and the gays. I was taught to love all people. Not what they do, but to love them as a soul, so without judgement that is what I try and do. Satan is here and confusing people with things such as different sects of christianity, and making them mad at God, so theyll turn toward him. If you dont believe he (satan) is here on earth..look at these: Revelation 12:9 Revelation 12:l2 Your righteveryone has a choiceHate God (because thats exactly what satan wants), or love satan..your choice Where did I say I dont believe satan is on earth? Evil is satan- satan is evil- known as an adversary. Depends on which of the 100s of different bibles you choose from. Of course things will go to pot eventually. The problem is that the PTB control the rules by which we play the game. Whenever one of the rules becomes detrimental to their winning, they change it. I always laugh when someone makes a prediction because one thing you can plan on with 90% certainty is that he is wrong. Time for TPTB to pay the piper Time for the Powers That Be to pay the piper with what, Junktex? Even if the upper .1% dug into their own piggy banks theyd still be paying in the standard coin of the realm: OUR Blood, Tears, Toil and Sweat, previously swindled and robbed from us at ultimate gunpoint. But They dont operate that wayThey already have those resources tucked safely away. Why do think They tell us We The People are $18 trillion in debt? Why are we told, well, but WE voted for this? The PTB arent planning on paying a thing for the next surprise collapse. Theyve engineered it. You will pay for it, your kids will pay for it, their kids will pay for it, and their kids, if there are any left. In Blood, Tears, Toil, and Sweat. Certainly not Them. Youre right,obviously.Just wishing out loud. Well, sir or madam, you know what they say: Wish in one handyadda yadda see which one fills up first. If there is much more manipulation of the algorithm controlling the Federal Consumer Price Index (what they call the official CPI), maybe wishes will balance bodily output. This becomes a zero sum game when the (human-consumed) cat and dog food runs out (this would be after youve served Felix and Fido to your family, which will be long before the Armani-suited government ever admits theyve been jiggering the actual unemployment report, the CPI, and the true inflation numbers for years, for political advantage [certainly within our closed two-party system, but more importantly] putting it over on us jointly: NEITHER PARTY EVER ABANDONS AN ADVANTAGE THE OTHER GAINED OVER US PREVIOUSLY, NO MATTER THEIR CAMPAIGN PROMISES, NO MATTER FOR WHOM WE VOTE; They work of, by, and for the System Owners, who pay them a portion of our efforts and endeavorsand keep the rest to themselves.). The question is: Who ARE the System Owners. Not Bill Gates or Warren Buffett, or Barack Obama, or most Big Money/Big Political names you see in the MSM. Theyre merely well-paid to keep things under control. Get Out The Vote! Yeah, and the hits just keep on coming, and the ratchet just keeps on tightening. Hmm. The title of this article reminds me of Yogi Berras famous quote: Its tough making predictions, especially about the future. I cant wait for this corrupt, deviant, narcissistic country to crash and burn. Its time for judgment. The 7 year tribulation will be here soon enoughjust waiting on the 7 year peace contract between Israelis and Palestinians. the bankers have been doing these things like 3 or 4 hundred years now. just variations of the exact same thing. they have been dumbing down the folks for decades now and have done a nice job so explain it how you want to but facts are still facts. i think they have convinced us of there power and most folks actually envy them need i say more? 
1	After weeks of speculation within the music industry, English folk-rock group Mumford and Sons took home the big prize at Sundays 55th Annual Grammy Awards by winning the highly coveted Vest of the Year trophy. Wow, I dont even know where to begin, said lead singer Marcus Mumford, after his slim-cut russet waistcoat secured the band its third win on a night in which the quartet also collected statuettes for Watch Chain of the Year and Best New Straw Hat. We never could have imagined it. I mean, just to have our vest nominated alongside all these other amazing vestsits really a dream come true. Following Mumford and Sons victory in the vest category, the band narrowly missed sweeping the Grammys four major apparel awards after losing out to indie pop trio fun. for its upbeat, critically acclaimed suspenders. 
2	Welfare Recipients In This State Just Got The Devastating News If you speak out against welfare leaches in this country, the liberal media will do everything they can to paint you as a racist. Meanwhile, welfare recipients throughout the country are spending their money on spas, movies, and fortune tellers. Fortunately, a new measure in Kansas intends to ensure that this is no longer the case. The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program is designed to provide temporary financial assistance to poor families who dont have enough income to pay their bills. The benefits they receive can be used to pay for things like rent, food, and gas. Still, state lawmakers are insisting that their needs to be limitations in place. The new measure is designed to codify in law what existing policies are. As expected, liberals are already pushing back on the measure. Shannon Cotsoradis, the CEO of Kansas Action for Children, argues that the bill vilifies and mischaracterizes the typical TANF family. What do you think? Do you support the measure? 
1	Stopping dead in their tracks and pausing to take in the scene unfolding above them, the entire country reportedly came to a halt Thursday morning to watch an industrial crane move a massive concrete tube across a construction site. The dumbfounded populace, staring up with their mouths agape at the extended arm of the yellow, 200-foot-tall Liebherr tower crane as it moved the building component slowly through the air, reportedly followed the huge cement tubes progress unblinkingly for the nearly 10 minutes it took to transfer it to the spot where it would be secured into place. Whoa, said 46-year-old bank manager Alex Horn while standing in the middle of the sidewalk, pointing into the sky and gazing wide-eyed at the 30-foot-long, steel-reinforced concrete tube as it was hoisted approximately 75 feet above the ground. That things big. Really big, he added. According to reports, upon spotting the 9-foot-diameter cylinder suspended in midair, the nations 320 million citizens paused what they had been doing and placed a hand on their brow to shield their eyes from the sun, with many reportedly tugging at a nearby acquaintances sleeve to alert them to the sight above. Sources confirmed that, after several moments of gaping, a few million Americans opted to cross the street to get a closer look through the chain-link gates at the construction sites entrance. Throughout the tubes transit, many of the onlookers were said to have briefly turned to the friends, family members, or strangers standing next to them and mouthed the word wow before returning their gaze skyward. Look how far up it is, said pastry shop worker Kevin Jordan, 29, speaking to reporters without breaking his line of sight with the large tube. That things gotta weigh, like, 100 tons. Oh, look, you can see through it now, he continued, as the tube slowly rotated at the end of its tether. Though completely captivated by the activity, many Americans reportedly took a moment to speculate what the big crane would pick up next, imagining that it might subsequently lift a humongous steel beam, or perhaps a giant bucket of cinder blocks. Others, however, were quick to point out a large pile of identical concrete tubes at one end of the construction site and suggested these would likely be moved next, in a similar manner. Its going real slowthey probably have to go so slow because its so big, said 38-year-old Gabrielle Cook, a mother of three, who, along with the rest of the nation, wondered aloud at one point why the process had momentarily halted. Oh, it stopped. Whyd it stop? There it goes again, Cook added. According to an informal poll of onlookers, 73 percent of the nation said they had never seen a tube that big before, while 24 percent said theyve seen bigger. The remaining 3 percent either grumbled indecipherably or shushed reporters. Amid audible oohs and ahhs as the crane began to lower the massive object into place, the nation admitted it was still unclear as to the exact function of the tube, though many commented that it looked like a big sewer pipe or something. Itd be crazy to be the guy steering that thing, said accounting clerk Jeff Merriwether, 26, staring at the cabin sitting atop the body of the crane. Think how far he has to climb to get up there. I bet hes used to it by now, Merriwether continued. At press time, the nation was distracted by a big machine scooping dirt nearby. 
3	Surprise: Corporate Food Industrys Paid Experts Say Processed Foods Are Great!Daisy Luther First, heres a little background on the cast of characters in this little propaganda drama. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) is the worlds largest organization of food and nutrition professionals and is made up of registered dietitians and dietetic technicians. Their mission states, The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is a multidimensional organization that strives to improve the nations health and advance the profession of dietetics through research, education, and advocacy. The group claims to be the publics and news medias best source for the most accurate, credible and timely food and nutrition information and they are committed to the ongoing education of their members and the general public. The International Food Information Council The IFIC is your nutrition and food safety resource, allegedly committed to helping out both consumers and professionals. According to their website, The International Food Information Council Foundation provides food safety, nutrition, and healthful eating information to help you make good and safe food choices. The IFIC sounds absolutely awesome until you learn who their sponsors are: IFIC receives funding from the usual suspects including, but not limited to, Cargill, Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, General Mills, Mars, McDonalds, Monsanto, PepsiCo, Red Bull, and Yum! Brands (this last being the parent company of Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC, and WingStreet). Finally, we have our heroes, a group of rebel dietetic professionals. Dietitians for Professional Integrity stand for everything that is right about the field of nutrition and dietetics. They promote real food for real health. Their mission: We are a group of concerned dietetics professionals advocating for greater financial transparency, as well as ethical, socially responsible, and relevant corporate sponsorships within the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. This website was created to let you know more about who we are and why we do not think Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Kelloggs, and other Big Food giants should sponsor the countrys largest nutrition organization. Our efforts are guided by professional integrity. We believe the American public deserves nutrition information that is not tainted by food industry interests. Those of us who co-founded Dietitians for Professional Integrity are nutrition experts first and foremost; we went to school to help people achieve better health through food, not to help multinational food companies sell more unhealthy products. (source) Hey The Experts Say that Processed Food is Not That Bad!!!! The IFIC has put together a propaganda handout fact sheet, What Is A Processed Food? You Might Be Surprised! for the benefit of the members of the AND. (Read it and weep RIGHT HERE.) The professional watchdog group, Dietitians for Professional Integrity, points out the blatant dishonesty of the flyer. [The fact sheet] perfectly demonstrates how food industry front groups spin science in an attempt to assuage public concerns about their clients products. Titled What Is A Processed Food? You Might Be Surprised!, this fact sheet mentions that breakfast cereals, like frozen vegetables and roasted nuts, are processed. They conveniently fail to mention that, unlike most breakfast cereals, the freezing of vegetables and roasting of nuts does not obliterate nutrients. Nor do frozen vegetables and roasted nuts contribute artificial dyes, artificial flavors, chemical additives, or partially hydrogenated oils to peoples diets. IFIC also relies on a familiar food industry tactic absurdly tying modern-day processing techniques to traditional ones. Food processing began about 2 million years ago, when our ancestors put flame to food. Of course, heating food has nothing in common with partially hydrogenating oils, making aspartame, or turning corn into high fructose corn syrup. The food industry is aware that people are increasingly concerned with hyper-processed products, and trying to link the term processed food to chopping a carrot or cooking a piece of fish is one way of perpetuating deception. (source) The flyer is also quick to laud the many wonders of corn (one of the major sources of toxic GMOs in the North American food supply) and to patronizingly try to convince us that we completely misunderstand the noble purposes of the food industry. They are trying to actually serve up food that is fresher by processing it until it is chemically unrecognizable as food. Back in January, the AND received harsh criticism from another industry watchdog, Eat Drink Politics, because of corporate conflicts of interest. Public health attorney and author Michele Simon asks: Are Americas nutrition professionals in the pocket of Big Food? While the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics 74,000-member trade group partners with the likes of Coke and Hersheys, the nations health continues to suffer from poor diet. The largest trade group of nutrition professionalsthe Academy of Nutrition and Dieteticshas a serious credibility problem. In a damning report released today, industry watchdog Eat Drink Politics examines the various forms of corporate sponsorship by Big Food that are undermining the integrity of those professionals most responsible for educating Americans about healthy eating. The report details, for example, how registered dietitians can earn continuing education units from Coca-Cola, in which they learn that sugar is not a problem for children and how Nestl, the worlds largest food company can pay $50,000 to host a two-hour nutrition symposium at the Academys annual meeting. (source) This is a clear-cut case of the foxes telling the chickens how to best build their henhouses. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics can maintain nocredibility whatsoever when they are being educated by Big Food, who is not at all interested in consumer health, but only in health of their bottom line. AND likely started out as a positive organization dedicated to good health, but they were sidetracked along the way by all of the money that Big Food threw in their path. If you wonder why the public is so confused about what constitutes good nutrition you need look no further than the propaganda being spouted by these so-called experts and beacons of continuing education. There is a real problem when the people sponsoring the nutrition lessons are the very purveyors of GMO crops, potato chips, soda pop, and fast food. Many people are out there trying valiantly to make the best possible choices for their families on limited budgets, but they must combat the constant disinformation on product labels that herald phrases all-natural, heart-healthy, and low-fat. These folks are being deliberately deceived by food manufacturers, but even worse, by professional societies like the American Medical Association, the American Heart Association, and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, all so the rich can get richer while the poor get sicker.

1	After working through thousands of tiebreaker hypotheticals, scientists in the NFLs research division reported Thursday that they had discovered a previously unknown playoff configuration in which the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers would share the AFCs sixth seed. According to our calculations, if Cincinnati and Pittsburgh are tied at the end of the season with identical head-to-head, divisional, and conference records, it would cause both teams to simultaneously occupy the same playoff seed, said NFL theoretical analyst Dr. Graham Scheer, explaining that under the scenario, the two AFC North rivals would merge into one massive 106-man roster to play against the third seed in the wild card round of the playoffs. Moreover, if what we are postulating occurs, and if the players are able to overcome their animosity and work together, then there would, in theory, be nothing to prevent the combined Bengals-Steelers squad from making a deep playoff run. Scheer noted that the only other time a similar situation occurred was in the 1984 season, when the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams famously shared the NFCs first seed, going on to jointly win Super Bowl XIX. 
1	Brandishing shotguns and semiautomatic pistols, members of the 112th U.S. Congress took a class of visiting schoolchildren hostage today, barricading themselves inside the Capitol rotunda and demanding $12 trillion dollars in cash. If the money is not delivered by this evening, members of Congress say they will shoot a new child every hour on the hour. House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), who has emerged as spokesman for the bipartisan group, informed FBI negotiators this morning that the ransom was to be placed in stainless-steel suitcases and left on the Capitol steps by 4 p.m. sharp. If their demands are not met in full, the 11-term representative announced, 'all the kids will die.' 'Bring us the money and we let the children go, simple as that,' said Boehner, appearing in the East Portico with a serrated switchblade held to one of the fourth-grader's throats. 'If you want to play games and stall for extra time, we're going to shoot one kid an hour, starting with little Dillon here.' 'Tick tock,' he added, vanishing back into the building with the terrified child in tow. Shaken witnesses reported that the ordeal broke out around 10 a.m. this morning, when in the midst of a Capitol building tour, Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) suddenly burst into the National Statuary Hall with a pair of black panty hose over his head and began firing a Beretta 9 mm handgun into the air, shouting, 'Everybody down! Everybody get the fuck down!' BREAKING: Hostage Sends Camera Phone video From Inside Capitol Building The schoolchildren were then led at gunpoint into the nearby Great Rotunda, where an agitated, profusely sweating Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL) bound their hands and feet and duct-taped them to various sculptures, including a monument to women's suffrage and a marble figure of former president James Garfield. Although cell phones were confiscated immediately, one student managed to tweet a short video showing what appeared to be Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) pistol-whipping a chaperone who attempted to yell for help. 'It's a very tense situation at the moment, and these things take timemore time than we've got,' Special Agent Douglas Burkett of the FBI Crisis Negotiation Unit said. 'We have snipers on the Supreme Court building, the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial, and the National Museum of the American Indian, but so far none of them has been able to get a clear shot at any senators or representatives.' 'While there's an assault team on the way, they won't be able to breach the door if members of Congress have rigged the place with explosives,' Burkett added. 'And that's quite possible. From the looks of things, I'd say they've been planning this for a while.' As the dramatic standoff continues to unfold, the bipartisan gang of lawmakers has laid out additional terms for releasing the children. Among the demands are guaranteed re-election in 2012, reduction of the veto-override threshold from two-thirds to one half of the Senate, new desks, and safe transport to Reagan National Airport with a fueled-up private jet waiting on the runway. According to sources close to the 535-member legislative branch, Congress has recently fallen on hard times. Neighbors reported overhearing heated arguments going on late into the night about dangerously stretched budgets, a failing health care system, and the potential for an all-out government shutdown. With the ransom deadline nearing and no apparent resolution in sight, President Barack Obama was summoned in a last-ditch effort to diffuse the situation. Despite an emotional bullhorn appeal to return to 'honest talks aimed at reducing the national debt and getting millions of unemployed Americans back to work,' the chief executive was met with silence. 'There's just no way of getting through to these people,' said Obama, holding his head in his hands. 'I know Speaker Boehner personally, and I know that he and his colleagues will not hesitate for a second to kill these poor children if they don't get their way.' 'Trust me, this Congress will do it,' the president added. View the story 'Congress Takes Group Of Schoolchildren Hostage' on Storify] 
2	Judge Jeanine Takes Gloves Off, Brutally Slaps Hamilton Stars For Disrespecting Our VP [VIDEO] This weekend, Vice President-elect Mike Pence went to see the show Hamilton on Broadway with his family. Little did he know he was about to be harassed and disrespected. Not only did the crowd heckle Pence during his entrance, but the cast attempted to humiliate him at the end of the show, telling him that he and Trump are making people feel unsafe. Of course, Judge Jeanine Pirro was not about to bite her tongue about this blatant disrespect. It was both outrageous and embarrassing, Pirro said of the incident. What happened in that theater, one block from here, was out and out reverse racism, and teed up hate for a man who has done nothing to deserve this inappropriate and disgusting behavior by those who take it upon themselves to use what was supposed to be a night of art and recreation and appreciation for our American history as a political bully pulpit. Last night violates everything you say you stand for, Pirro continued. That big tent, inclusive broad-minded acceptance for everyone, even people who dont look or act like you. What happened to your old love trumps hate line? Youre all damn hypocrites! Watch the segment below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Pirro? 
2	Muslims Terrified after Donald Trump Makes THIS Amazing Announcement About Sharia Law Recently, the Huffington Post went after Donald Trump for his foreign policy speech, deliberately undermining his announcement of an ideological test for immigrants that would filter out supporters of Sharia Law. Liberal reporters said the proposal would be difficult to execute. In the Cold War, we had an ideological screening test. The time is overdue to develop a new screening test for the threats we face today, Trump said. I call it extreme, extreme vetting. Our country has enough problems. We dont need more. And these are problems like weve never seen before. In addition to screening out all members or sympathizers of terrorist groups, we must also screen out any who have hostile attitudes toward our country or its principles or who believe that Sharia law should supplant American law, Trump concluded. Trump did not go into details about how he intends to implement the screening, though he repeatedly said it would apply to visas in general, and not just applicants for residency. In 2001, Trump blamed poor visa vetting for being partly responsible for the 9/11 attacks. The 9/11 hijackers had fraud written all over their visas, he said. Those visas were student, business and tourist visas. What do you think of Trumps plan? 
1	Tokyo somehow managed to squeeze in five more residents Monday, when the Takashi family moved into a converted studio apartment. 'This was a one-bedroom apartment housing a family of six, but a wall was cleverly constructed to create a small studio,' city planning minister Hideki Kumagai said. 'This was good: We rarely can fit new citizenry into our city without drilling into the bedrock.' The Takashi family, brought in from Osaka's overflow, will pay the equivalent of $12,600 monthly for 144 square feet of living space. 
3	Americans Ring in New Year Drinking Doomsday Kool-Aid At Alarming Rate!Is there really an antidote to all this madness? As the New Year descends upon us all, is it just me or can others who are awake feel the fear, gloom and doom that Americans everywhere are drinking to like the Jonestown Kool-Aid? I admit it; Im slightly alarmed at how alarmed Americans are lately. With the progressively graying Kenyan globalist teleprompter reading puppet popping up on TV selling fear and gloom, to his evil henchmen in California orchestrating surprise attacks on the Constitution and jumping center stage to absorb some of the blow-back for his administrations agenda to disarm Americans, to the primarily 6-headed 4th branch of government, preaching 24/7 breaking-news-style fear, doom and gloom with their CIA approved anchor talking heads. How ironic that two of their primary henchmen from two of the most important globalist families have recently suffered sudden medical threats to their lives (H.W., Hillary)? Should we take this as an omen, a sign of something to come? Like an interesting wild and fast moving horror movie where you dont know who is going to go down first, the movie is entertaining; but, unfortunately, too many Americans are drinking the Kool-Aid and believing the movie is real. Please take a deep breath and remember this is THEIR movie. It is one thing to understand their paradigm; it is another to believe and succumb to their paradigm. Im in awe at the amount of DOOM-GLOOM fever spreading everywhere; seeing so many people who are buried in their perfect storm of fear, doom, gloom, end of the world paranoia and the all familiar stock up and save thyself mentality. Americans at alarming rates are drinking the Kool-Aid, which started just a few years ago with all the globalist end-of-the-world Hollywood movies and have continued with a steady dose of cable TV End of the World programming that have Americans fully addicted to this synthesized paranoia. Lets all start by drawing a line between knowledge, wisdom and hope. Knowledge is the gathering of information, which many reading this article are good at. Information gathering is related to intellectual capacity, mathematical skills, problem solving and IQ. Many people are experts at gathering information and piling it in their heads like a storage space packed with items. Thats knowledge, but then there is wisdom. Just because you are smart does not mean you are wise. Wisdom however is related to HOW you deal with the information that you have gathered and how you lay it out, how you process the information so that it is functional and useful to you. This wisdom skill incorporates many other factors and elements to generate appropriate decision making, or what is known as JUDGMENT. One can have a box of automobile parts, and be intelligent enough to know how each part works, but it does very little if you dont know how to assemble the car. Wisdom allows us to process all the fear, doom, gloom and wisely categorize it in its right place in ones mind. If you allow the fear, doom and gloom to enter your mind and you carelessly throw it around just anywhere, beware it can and will distort your thought process, judgment and perception and will have a cascading detrimental effect on your mental, physical and spiritual progress. Finally there is hope. Hope is another thing all together. Hope can be viewed by some as irrational, nave, unrealistic and even stupid, but hope can be the greatest game changer of them all; for knowledge without wisdom is a lost cause, and knowledge and wisdom without hope can be very burdensome and ultimately a lost cause. So to all my truth seeking friends I offer this small argument with the opening of our new year: Give hope a chance and try to see that we humans are intellectual beings, we are cognitive problem solvers, and yet we have another element hiding deep inside our existence that some call spirit or supernatural or whatever you want to call it. This element, I challenge my readers, is the element that they dont have. They the evil globalist pigs or Monkeys of Evil live in a miserable world that they cannot escape from. They are godless and HOPELESS and they only gain satisfaction from knowing that they are controlling others and that they are inflicting some kind of suffering and pain. This IS the so called other side of humanity. Yes, humanity has a dark side and these people are the expression of that dark side. Every time someone succumbs to THEIR fear, doom and gloom you are joining them and obeying them in partaking of their misery and you are allowing them to walk you into their world of darkness, suffering, fear and gloom. This is exactly what they planned on imposing on humanity. They knew they couldnt usher in their so called new world order without creating chaos. GWB referred to order out of chaos and this is part of their ritual. I for one will pass and reject their tray of fear, gloom and doom. I refuse to drink their Kool-Aid and I invite all of my friends to see the silver lining of hope. This hope I speak of is one of the X factors that they cannot destroy. If you understand this message, then try it on someone. In fact, the next time you see one of those brainwashed cops foaming at the mouth and looking for terrorists that dont exist, hit that police with a gigantic smile and wave at him. Tell him how happy you are and how hopeful you are of humanity and our current situation and let him know that you appreciate them; and even though you dont believe all the mainstream media lies about terrorists let him know that you know he means well and you are rooting for him . . . watch the expression on his face change. If you are really clever youll have a chance to educate that officer; just remember to do it with respect. That is my 2013 HOPE TEST, will you take on the challenge? No its not about being nave or unrealistic about the situation we are in; its about reaching deep inside you choosing to be the change that you want to see in the world. This is how the game is played. Now lets begin 2013 and may the best spirit win! Peace and love.

2	BREAKING: The Truth About The AntiThe nation was shocked last week when a video surfaced of a group of Chicago thugs kidnapping and brutally beating a white teenager while screaming things like f*ck Donald Trump and f*ck white people. Now that the four teens have been arrested and charged with a hate crime, the gruesome details about their actions have been revealed. Breitbart reported that the 30-minute video shows an 18-year-old mentally disabled white man being beaten, taunted, cut, and forced to drink from a toilet. The victim was reportedly held hostage for days until he was able to escape. Police later found him wandering the streets of Chicago in a daze. Hes traumatized by the incident and its very tough to communicate with him at this point, police Commander Kevin Duffin told reporters. Now, authorities are saying they believe this crime was initially meant to be a kidnapping, with the suspects planning to extort money from the victims parents. The man was initially targeted because he was special needs but once the suspects had him it escalated into a hate crime. The victims parents reported their son missing after receiving text messages from his captors. The victim was reportedly a classmate of one of the assailants. He initially went with the criminals voluntarily believing they would be having a sleepover. The suspects have been identified as Brittany Covington, 18, Tesfaye Cooper, 18, Jordan Hill, 18, and Tanisha Covington, 24. Authorities have noted that none of them have shown any real remorse for the crime they committed.

2	BREAKING: The Great State Of Texas Just Took THIS Massive Against Obamas Operation Jade Helm Ever since the government announced plans to launch a military training exercise in which military personnel will operate among the American public, Americans have been weary. Operation Jade Helm has caused quite the controversy, and Texas is proving that theyre not afraid to speak up. Texas already rocked the boat by addressing their citizens concerns that the exercises could strip them of freedoms and potentially lead to martial law. Just last week, more leaders from the state came forward to express their discomfort with the training. Now, a movement has been formed to rebel against the exercise all together. Counter Jade Helm has been configured by a group of Texans with the intention of monitoring the exercise as carefully as possible. Leader of the group is 51-year-old Eric Johnston, a former firefighter and sheriffs deputy. If a team member sees two Humvees full of soldiers driving through town, theyre going to follow them, Johnston told the press. And theyre going to radio back their ultimate location. Johnston believes that the exercise has been handled with extreme secrecy from the government, and cannot be trusted. On a military base they can do whatever they want, 44-year-old Pete Lanteri, a former Marine, commented. 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 their efforts or are they going too far? 
3	Trump Calls for Closing the Internet, Says Believing in Freedom of Speech is FoolishBy Jay Syrmopoulos Only hours after calling for a total and complete ban on Muslims entering the United States, the Republican presidential candidate forwarded the notion that America should also consider closing the Internet up in some way, as a means of fighting the Islamic State. During a speech, Trump said that children in America are watching the internet and they want to be masterminds, and were losing a lot of people because of the internet. Forwarding the narrative that the Internet is responsible for radicalizing Muslims, a contentious point, to say the least, Trump called for closing down the Internet, by oddly invoking Microsoft founder Bill Gates as a point man of sorts in his ludicrous scheme. Weve got to maybe do something with the internet. Were losing a lot of people because of the internet. We have to see Bill Gates and a lot of different people that really understand whats happening, said Trump. NotBuffytheVMPslayer (@NotBUFFY_VS) December 8, 2015 We have to talk to them about, maybe in certain areas, closing that internet up in some ways. Somebody will say, Oh freedom of speech, freedom of speech. These are foolish people. Let that sink in for a moment. If you believe in freedom of speech you are a fool, according to Trump. Whats interesting is that Trumps idea sounds eerily similar to the Great Firewall of China, a censorship regime that only allows websites that are approved by the Chinese government to be available to those in mainland China. If this is what Trump thinks Making America Great Again involves, perhaps we should be content to not be so great! The business mogul then turned his ire to those currently in control of the U.S. government. We used to call it the quiet majority, he said of his Republican base. But people are fed up they are fed up with incompetence, they are fed up with stupid leaders, they are fed up with stupid people, said Trump The real danger of Trump isnt necessarily his actual policy, as he hasnt even received a single vote, but rather the incitement of bigotry and encouragement of violence, which is legitimized and encouraged on a pop culture level through Trumps rhetoric. While many consider Trump an outsider, he has shown himself to be a skilled politician by stoking xenophobic fear and hatred in the U.S., first using Mexican immigrants and now Muslims as a lightning rod of bigotry. Trump obviously knows his audience welland uses his position as a cultural icon and skilled entertainer to embolden his fascist demagogue status and Americans cant seem to get enough of it.

2	Muslim Mob Attacks A Woman For Wearing Bikini But She Did THIS To Fight Back According to recent reports, women throughout the world are using social media to react to the recent beating of a woman wearing a bikini by a Muslim mob. Reports from Breitbart News indicate that the attack took place on at a Parc Leo-Lagrange in Reims, France. A group of 16-to-24 year olds were reportedly spotted picking a fight with the 21-year-old victim, claiming: Get dressed, its not summer. The movement on social media reminds of us the recent #JeSuisCharlie following the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack. Citizens are using the hashtag #jeportemonmaillotauParcleo. Of course, Obama and other liberals are still trying to claim that Islam is a peaceful religion. What do you think? Are you tired of hearing stories like these while Obama sits idly by? 
3	8 Events That Prove Your Money Is Not Safe In Europe, Or AnywhereJeff Berwick Well, wonder no more, because the following eight events might give you an idea of where governments go to get a little extra cash. 1. In March, 2009, Ireland seized 4bn from its Pension Reserve fund in order to rescue its banks. In November 2010, the remaining savings of 2.5bn was seized to support the bailout of the rest of the country. 2. In December, 2010, Hungary told its citizens that they could either remit their private pension money to the state or lose their state pension funds (but still have to pay for it nonetheless). 3. In November, 2010, the French parliament decided to earmark 33bn from the national reserve pension fund FRR to reduce the short-term pension scheme deficit. 5. In the Spring of 2013 Cyprus took it a step further and outright confiscated up to 50% of the funds from bank account holders in that country. 6. In the Fall of 2013 the Polish government announced it would transfer to the state (aka. confiscate) the bulk of assets owned by the countrys private pension funds (many of them owned by such foreign firms as PIMCO parent Allianz, AXA, Generali, ING and Aviva), without offering any compensation. 7. In February 2014, Italian banks were ordered by the Italian government to withhold a 20% tax on all inbound wire transfers. Il Sole reported, the deductions will be automatic (unless prior request for exclusion), and then it will be up to the taxpayer to prove that the money is not in the nature of compensation income.' 8. The savings of all 500 million Europeans can bestolen by the European Union. Why? Because the financial crisis is not over, according to an EU document. The Commission is looking to ask the blocs insurance watchdog in the second half of 2014 for advice on how to draft a law to mobilize more personal pension savings for long-term financing, the document said. So you see, European governments and institutions have already begun seizing private pension funds, slapping 20% taxes on all incoming wire transfers, confiscating up to 50% from private bank accounts and even stating all the savings of Europe are fair game. As weve said before, this phenomenom of wealth confiscation wont stay confined to Europe. The US has also taken measures to ensure ease of access to the funds of everyday Americans. Weve said for many years now that the US government and almost all Western governments are bankrupt. This means they will try to confiscate as much wealth as possible from people who dont carefully save before the collapse. Mark our words: US 401ks and IRAs will be nationalized in the next four years as wellmaybe as soon as the next one or two years.

2	This Fireman Refused To Stop Praying, So Atheist Mayor Does THIS To Him Over a year ago, Atlantas Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran wrote a book called Who Told You That You Were Naked?, which outlined his Christian faith. Before writing the book in 2013, Chief Cochran had previously left Atlanta to work for the Obama Administration. In the controversial publication, Chief Cochran encouraged young black men to discover Jesus and be responsible. He encouraged them to get married and stop sleeping around, and he all forms of premarital sex ranging from homosexual intercourse to bestiality. The book was on shelves for a year before it was discovered, and now the Chief has been suspended from his position. According to Mayor Reed of Atlanta, the Chief was fired for writing the book without permission. Reed also complained that Cochran distributed the book to employees, although Cochran maintains he only distributed the title to employees that ask. Most prominently, Chief Cochran was criticized for his statement that his top priority as fire chief is to cultivate its culture for the glory of God. Now, the Chief is unemployed. 
2	Teacher Expels Muslim, And The Something Terrible Happened... Recent reports indicate that a female teacher at a preparatory school in Cairo is facing consequences after failing a group of male students on their final exam when she caught them cheating. The teacher stepped reportedly stepped outside during the final examination, and was swiftly attacked by the group, who attempted to gang rape her. Although the victim remains unidentified, witnesses report that nearly 20 Islamic teen boys beat her and viciously ripped her clothes off before they were chased away from the scene by both faculty and other students. The treatment of the female teacher could be attributed to Shariah law, given that it calls for physical punishments and consequences for women. The school decided to suspend its manager and several members of the staff for failing to report the incident or take disciplinary measures against the students in question. What do you think of the incident? Are you sick of Islam being painted as a peaceful religion? 
1	In an impassioned 1,900-word open letter published in Monday's Washington Post, actor-director Sean Penn urged the unknown person who registered the e-mail address SeanPenn@gmail.com to 'come forward immediately, rather than wallowing in the shame and ignominy of fraud.' Sean Penn The paid full-page advertisement, addressed to 'a certain inconsiderate asshole,' continued: 'Every Americanindeed, every human being, regardless of nationalitydeserves to be rightfully and accurately represented on the World Wide Webthe communication gateway into the next century and beyondwithout having to resort to nonsensical aliases with random strings of numbers tacked onto the end. In an era of global wireless technology, our very identities are at stake. It's highly unethical at best, criminal at worst, for others to wantonly abscond with them.' Penn recounted in the letter how he had waited for an invitation to Google's e-mail service for a year and a half before receiving one earlier this month. According to Penn, when he tried to establish an account, he received a message indicating that his desired user name, SeanPenn, had already been registered. 'Sir or madam, if only you could have seen the anger and revulsion that washed over my face as I found that SeanPenn@gmail.com, Penn@gmail.com, SPenn@gmail.com, Penn.Sean@gmail.com, and SeanPennRules@gmail.com had all been taken,' Penn's letter read. 'If only you could have felt my heart leap to my throat upon realizing that Seanpenn@gmail.com would not work either, as Gmail addresses are not case-senstitive. If only you could have heard my cry of anguish when, in a last, desperate move, I typed in Spicoli@gmail.com, only to be rejected once more and finally forced to accept the abomination that is Sean.Penn20061@gmail.com.' Continued Penn, 'It's a sad, sad day for the individual's right to self-determination and self-expression, let alone for the movie directors, journalists, and diplomats who will not be able to easily rememberor even recognizemy e-mail address.' Penn said he also tried SeanPenn81760@gmail.com, ShawnPenn@gmail.com, and SeanPennActor@gmail.com. This was not the first time Penn has expressed anger over the difficulty of obtaining a Sean Penn-specific e-mail address. He made headlines last year when he refused to appear on the set of Columbia Pictures' All The King's Men for two days after he learned that SPenn@sonypictures.com had been taken by video assist operator Steve Penn. Penn admitted that the painful experience of not being able to communicate freely through e-mail had its upside. 'Oh, certainly, I identify more strongly with the poor, war-battered youth of the Middle East.' Penn ended his statement by reiterating his demand that the SeanPenn user-name holder reveal his identity, assuring him that he will not retaliate with punitive measures or even ask that the e-mail address be relinquished. Instead, Penn invited the perpetrator to accompany him to Iraq, to 'learn a hard, real-life lesson about the devastation wreaked by false pretense, gross injustice, and misapplication of power.' 
1	The nightly Ten O'Clock News program on Great Britain's BBC One channel upgraded a minor flap in Parliament's House of Lords to an all-out row Tuesday after Conservative Party leader Thomas Galbraith, 2nd Baron Strathclyde, told the Lord Speaker to sod off.

3	House Backs Monsanto and BANS GMO LabelingBy Kristen Anderson While dozens of countries around the world ban GE crops and have ousted Monsanto after citizens protested, petitioned, and took to the streets, the United States seems to want to do everything it can to keep its citizens in the dark about what they are actually eating. Americans clearly want labeling that presents them with accurate and consistent information about what is in their food. As it stands right now, each state has a different method of GMO labeling and some have none at all. Farmers and food manufacturers cannot keep up with 50 different standards. Maine has already passed a law requiring labeling GMO products, and those labels would be prohibited if this bill is upheld in the Senate. Opponents of GMO labeling state that it would raise food prices and trick consumers into thinking that the GMO-free foods are safer, more nutritious, or otherwise superior to the foods including GMO ingredients. Farmers say that it will be impossible for them to feed the US population by 2050 if they are not permitted to cultivate GMO crops. They say that GMO crops are more resistant to pests and disease, require less land, and are hardier than their GMO-free alternatives. Farmers, already struggling to compete with factory farms and corporations, are facing an ever increasing number of laws and regulations governing how they acquire their seeds, treat their crops for disease and pests, and harvest and store our food. When society shifted from an agrarian economy to an industrial economy and outsourced food production from the family farm to the farmer or corporation, the quality of our food changed forever. It became someones job to produce the largest tomato. It became someones livelihood to reduce their costs any way they could. It became much more important to control pests and disease because instead of losing 5 bunches of grapes a week, a farmer could lose thousands of bunches of grapes a week. The farm that produces the best yield survives, the farm that cant will be eliminated. Is this when consumers lost the right to know what was in their food? Was it when society elected to stop farming for one family at a time and farm for the masses? Or was it when one giant company controlled practically all of the seed stock in the world? Or was it when the government let themselves be bought by giant companies more interested in profits than in consumer choice and safety? Sources: Kristen Anderson writes for selfnews Post and droppingkeys.net What this means-the smart people are not going to buy food without knowing if its GMO or not. The Dancing with Stars bunch will keep on eating it. Congress doesnt pass legislation for our benefitits done for the corporations and our brand new communist government. The reason Congress doesnt give a crap about the labeling is that there is a NewWorldOrder coming and the enslaved masses are going to be fed this garbage to keep us weak, unhealthy and docile. Do you really think the elite are going to eat processed GMO, aspartame, MSG food, and all the other crap they use to poison us? Does anyone really think they drink fluoridated water? We dont need GMO labeling, we need to eliminate the Federal Reserve, jail the bankers and fire all the politicians. Iceland did it. Our political system is fake, as well as our financial system. The government is run like a broadway play, with actors, writers and producerswe do not have a government..we have actors reading their scripts. How can something so obviously dishonest be turned into law? When a law becomes a natural criminal offense against humanity, then those creating the law are the worst type of criminals because their crime is universal, and harmful to all. And Monsanto has been given a license to hide their crimes. That is why Dr. King said Everything Hitler did was legal. I think its time for a total government recall. Why would you want to recall those opposing this bill? Pompeos legislation has 30 co-sponsors so far, including nine Democrats. Six polls have shown the public supports labeling laws by 93-96%. Congress clearly does NOT represent the people on this and many other issues with strong public support (public options in healthcare, universal background checks on guns, immigration reform, etc). The plain fact is that Democrats stand with the people on all these issues and Republicans oppose. Likewise with GMO labeling laws, most Democrats support, most Republicans oppose. Why would you want to recall those who represent the people? It is worth recalling, to refute the argument that both parties are the same, that the Iraq war authorization vote (which led to half a million civilian deaths and trillions in debt) was We do not need to recall government but those who refuse to represent the people. The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), which gathers leaders to solve the worlds problems, promotes Monsanto, the maker of RoundUp and RoundUp Ready seeds. Hugh Grant, Monsantos Chairman and CEO spoke at the Clinton Global Initiative conference in September, 2014. Ms. Clintons top campaign advisor, Jerry Crawford, was a lobbyist for Monsanto for years and is now the political pro for her Super PAC, Ready for Hillary. Clinton spoke in favor of the governments Feed the Future (FtF) program, aUSAID funded, corporate-partnered program that brings RoundUp Ready technology to the most vulnerable populations of the world. Hillary Clintons donors include Monsanto ,the drug maker Pfizer, ExxonMobil, Dow Chemical, Goldman Sachs, Procter Gamble, Coca-Cola and many more . Also I regret to inform you that President Barack Obama signed H.R. 933, which contained the Monsanto Protection Act, into law. President Obama knowingly signed the Monsanto Protection Act over the urgent pleas of more than 250,000 Americans who asked that he use his executive authority to veto it. President Obama failed to live up to his oath to protect the American people and our constitution. I am no fan of the Clintons. The fact remains that many more Democrats support GMO labeling laws than Republicans. During the campaign for GMO labeling laws in California, the California Democratic Party was a core supporter. Get rid of these Democrats who stand with the Republicans, but dont throw out those that actually represent the people. When the Dems voted 58% against the Iraq war authorization, Clinton voted with the Republicans (97% for. Would you throw out the 58% who voted against war based on her standing with the Republicans. My point is simple: it makes no sense to get rid of those politicians who support the interests and views of the vast majority of people because of the scumbags who dont. Get rid of the scumbags and re-elect those who support the will of the people. Bullshit Dale.Those votes are probably planned to give the illusion that there was some level of dissent.Charade Any excuse to avoid facing the truth, eh? Democrats(most but not all) have led the fight against laws banning labeling. In the recent vote, the majority of Dems voted against the ban, and in 2013, the vote to guarantee the right of states to require labeling, of 27 who supported, it 24 were Democrats, 2 Independents, and 1 lone Republican. That is no illusion: that is a clear and indisputable difference of Democrats standing up for states rights and consumers rights, and Republicans standing with the corporations to ban labeling laws. George, you just dont want to face the truthI call you out for bullshit, based not on an unsupported probably planned to give the illusion but on the actual evidence and vote count. Bullshit, George. You probably said that to give the illusion that there is no party divide on the issue. Boy are you clueless. There is only ONE party in Washington and you and I aint in it to quote George Carlin. Lets seewho is pushing the TPP and TIPP,a secret worldwide Corporatacracy takeover of national sovereignty. Why none other than Barack Obomber and a bunch of democrans and republicrats. Who repealed the Glass Stegal Act set up in the 1930s to protect Americans After the Afghanstan/Iraq War was started, did the dumbocrats ( or republicrats) ever vote stop it over the last 12 years even when they had control of both the House and Senate? Nope. No instead they shoved through (along with some compliant republicrats) Bozocare in a feeble massively expensive attempt to takeover the sickness care system. That resulted in a net gain of about 1 million people getting sickness insurance (mostly the worst kindMedicaid) when you subtract all those who lost their plans from the newly signed up Medicaid insured. Impressive! Yes-sir-ee-bob..live on in your two party fantasyland. Its called divide and conquer and was set up that way from the git-go to keep the population thinking they had some say in government policywhen in reality only the Corporatacracy/Oligarchy with its billions to buy off politicians has total control over all decisions. Anyone really believe anything will change if Hillary or Bush becomes President? Thats why Trump scares the s*** out of both of them. What do you want to bet this GMO labelling ban legislation will be passed by both the House and the Senate and become law despite 90% of Americans wanting to know if they are purchasing GMO foods or not? Will Obozo the democrud clown veto it if is passed? Not a chance in hell! Ill place my bet with Monsanto and the one party bought-off system. Excellent. Deafening Silence from you-know-who! The House vote on the anti-GMO labeling law shows two parties, despite what Carlin once said: And dont forget the vote on war authorization against Iraq: If voting for or against a war which cost half a million lives and 3-4 trillion ($40,000 per household), or keeping or losing the right to know what you are eating, are the same, both parties are the same. This logic was illustrated in Orwells 1984: War is Peace NO, THATS A WASTE OF TIME! ITS TIME TO JAIL THEM. THEY DONT REPRESENT THE REAL AMERICANS!! THEY ARE TRAITORS! THEY NEED TO BE IN JAIL NOW! LETS GO! Time to throw all these bought off flunkies out of office. How? How about if we keep those that support GMO labeling and throw out the others? Thats a swell idea but Im afraid that only works in a true Democracy. Democracy is a matter of degree; we have the power to get rid of those who oppose the interests of the people.if we use it. If we think it is only a futile dream, that is a a self-fulfilling prophecy of surrender. Democracy demands constant citizen activism and eternal vigilance. Our mission is to complete the American Revolution. Do not fear; fear is the companion of surrender. Fight back. You live in la la land. How so? HOw is the recognition that to create democracy, we must struggle and fight back against plutocracy. Have you ever fought back? 1. Look around and see what democracy has brought us. All democracies are destined to fail for the very reasons that you see before you. Democracy is a sham. 1. I did not say we have a democracy; we do not: we have an oligarchy. See what it has brought us. 1. We live in a democratic republic. True democracy is no better. Your search for scape goats does not change that. Dale champions democracy rather than our Constitutional Republic precisely because he does not fully support the US Constitution. He is enamored with the UN. Furthermore, having formerly studied political science (apparently at Harvard and Berkeley) he alludes to knowing about the role of the Trilateralists deep capture of the US executive office and the plan for Technocracy, but he never discusses these issues, and instead runs with neoliberal spin. That isnt the trademark of an innocent and curious sympathizer with the Truth and Freedom movements, rather we are observing the classic traits of a professional disinfo operative. So maddening! I spent countless hours on the GMO labeling campaign here in CA. I collected hundreds of signatures, went to public events and grocery stores and answered peoples questions about Prop 37 and GMOs. The county I worked in did vote in favor of GMO labeling, just not the whole state. And still I wonder about voter fraud. The whole it will raise the cost of food issue, not the safety of GMOs is how Monsanto beat us. It was an absolute lie. The actual study found it raised the cost by something ridiculously insignificant. I dont remember exactly but it was something like 28 cents a week. When Europe started labeling, the companies simply reformulated their products not to contain GMOs so they didnt have to label them. Grocery costs did not increase there. This 4th of July was dismal for me as far as the state of the nation is concerned. What independence? Rights are being taken left and right (as the saying goes and the political parties too). The only bright spot, other than my family, was marching in the 4th of July parade with the Moms Across America March (MAAM) label GMOs group. Ive done this three years in a row and we get constant applause! So the government will act in favor of big business. The people will do what they have to do. We know better. And I will keep fighting even for the ignorant! I remember that campaign. 2/3 of Californians supported GMO labeling laws, but the Monsanto propaganda was totally deceptive. It did not identify itself as being funded by Monsanto, it did not mention gmo labeling, and it put out messages like: Vote against more state meddling, vote against raising food prices, vote against more bureaucracy and more meaningless rules. This dishonest campaign was able to get enough people who supported GMO laws to vote against the Proposition (More taxes! More bureacracy! More government intrusion!) the Proposition. Clever and deceptive propaganda can make useful idiots, who vote against things they believe in. Perhaps its time to take the money out of the political process, or at least to make it accountable and transparent. Of course, those who control the process with money, such as Monsanto, will spend hundreds of millions to keep money in politics (Keep government hands off your money! Its bad enough when Congress does not represent the people but its worse when propaganda induces people to vote against their own beliefs! Too true! Edward Bernays has made true his statement: If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, is it not possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing about it? Too true two! Goebbels was an ardent student of Bernays and American public relation (a classic Orwellian term). I support banning all money from the political process and ban all political propaganda. Candidates will use the public airways and persuade with their own words. Only the mightiest struggle can bring about this result, but many nations already have itso its not a dream, just a tough tough fight like all significant progress. Repealing Glass-Steagall would be a realistic start. Dont you mean reinstating Glass-Steagall? Yes, thank you. I must need more Smart Meter. I just banned doing business with any person or business that cannot confirm a product I am buying is genetically modified. Im not eating thatfranken-food and am thoroughly offended we the people werent fully informed about all this health hazard and ecological hazard sooner. People, its time for boycotts of all GMO products and paper trail elections to empower vetted oath keepers! Right on! For instance, most corn is GMO but where I live, California, the corn is not GMOif Monsanto gets its way, it soon will be. We have to fight back in all ways, individual and collective. Hm. Thats not what I heard. GMO labelling is on Obamas hit list when he signs the secret TPP deal. Obama will add anything he wants after congress approves iCongress stopped reading the TPP at the word trade and have no idea whats in it! Its time to raise hell in Washington! This is an agreement among many nations. Obama has little power to change it. If the TPP passes, Monsanto will achieve its goal of banning labeling laws in nations party to the agreement. Obama is Kool-Aid swilling globalist puppet of the international banksters. If he gave a rats backside about humanity he would stop this legislation on GMOs, and the TPP, and so much more. This is not chiefly about Monsanto, that would be a misdirection, there is a bigger picture here. Obama for all his faults does NOT have the power to stop legislation beyond his veto power, which he can only exercise after Congress has acted. His response to GMO dangers has been totally inadequate but the problem goes far beyond him. The blame for the bill which would make state labeling laws illegal lies with the Republicans. I think my term corporate fascism on a global scale indicates this is not only about Monsanto but about the growing influence of corporate fascism to makes our laws and override our rights. This is NOT about Obama but the broader development of global corporatocracy and the rightward turn of US politics, centered in the Republican Party, which opposes the public will on gun law reform, taxes, immigration, gmos, and a host of other issues. To lump all parties and politicians together leads to cynicism and apathy, which benefits the most reactionary elements, which most support the corporate fascist state. Making this about Obama is a misdirection. This is about the People get their rocks off cursing Obama. That accomplishes nothing and is indeed a misdirection. He will be out in 18 months but the problems will be exactly the same. We have to go after the people promoting these laws and preventing policies supported by the people. We have to go after the laws which give Big Money control of the political process, and this means supporting those on our side, as well as opposing the corporate servants. Some think lumping all together is sophisticated insight; it is not; it is cynicism, which blurs distinctions and only serves the interests of the most fascist interests among the corporations and their servants in office. You are being disingenuous. Honest public addresses would derail these monstrosities. Being able to give the world the truth on a gigantic platform is real power. No doubt, that is why the late great Aaron Swartz was taken out. The turn is totalitarian, Technocracy embraces both totalitarian fascism and totalitarian socialism. RINOs and DINOs = circus routine. What better example than the parody style public arguing of James Carville and Mary Matalin? About as realistic as professional wrestling. What a freaking joke. The fake left vs. right political paradigm is old and wearing thin. I keep hearing the declaration by the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderand: Off with their heads! The politicians obviously are not listening to us, and since they have no need of their ears, perhaps they should be relieved of them. The flaw in our system is the belief that when we elect someone, they are beholden to the majority opinion within their districts. This is the foundation of democracy. The short circuit is our reliance on the good faith of our representatives. They have no honor when their vote (supposedly on our behalf) is really directed by the size of the donations they receive under the table from corporate donors. I would love to see the full membership of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives sit down to a sumptuous meal of totally GMO food products, and be forced to eat them. ten miles square.. outside of those square ten miles.. congress can piss off! This is about genetically modifying us via our food. How can we prevent it if we dont even know what is in it? You hit the nail on the head. Thats another major objective, the first being the introduction of patents to own and control virtually all essential food production. Were witnessing a full blown Corporatocracy. However, nothing could be further from the truth. I wonder if these people from Monsanto eat their own foods. This is the thing many of us were afraid of. The resolution passed that we are not to know what our food contains so GMOs start to kill us rather quickly. There never is any substitute for natural nutritious foods, but Monsato must sell their poison without delay Please publish a list of the representatives voting for this ban. There should be consequences. Monsanto had their man in place and Obama appointed him over the FDA, just for insurance The solution? Buy 100% organic, and nothing else. Those whores should be recalled as there is NO EXCUSE for their support of Monsantos deadly GMO frankinfoods along with their poisonous herbicide. Thankfully for society, the House Agricultural Committee has more sense than you lot! The babyboomers in charge the past 20 years have bulldozed their offsprings future into the groundThese babyboomers refuse to take fluoride out of the water, refuse to acknowledge the presence of chemtrails, refuse to label or more importantly eradicate the use of GMOs and Glyphosate on food crops, allow tens of million of violent Muslim and Central Americans into the US, refuse to acknowledge of the danger of vaccines that contain formaldehyde, aluminum, ethyl mercury, refuse to acknowledge the dangers to Smart Meters, and they continue to occupy and make war on other countries after a dozen years in the MidEastWhat is neurologically wrong with these old asshats? Why does no one, I mean NO ONE ever mention that GMO foods have only been around since 1996Were the grocery store shelves empty before 1996 and they found a solution to feed the 250 million Americans in the US back then?

1	Perplexed executives at NBC announced Monday that the network has canceled the new series City Buds, after the half-hour sitcom garnered abysmal ratings despite a flawlessly executed $250 million marketing strategy. &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;img src=http://onionimg.local/3625/original/600.jpg&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; Even with smart, nuanced, consistently high-quality billboards, the sitcom only lasted four episodes. According to NBCs marketing department, the series premier of City Buds, a show about two male friends who reside in Chicago, performed exceptionally well during the eight minutes preceding its first commercial break. But then, for some unknown reason, the ratings plummeted. The incomparably hyped show never recovered in the following weeks, and the decision was made to scrap City Buds after just four episodes. We cant for the life of us figure out what went wrong, NBCUniversal vice president of marketing Maureen Murphy said. We had the leading creatives in the business working on City Buds. The best copywriters, top-notch PR guys, not to mention a world-class graphic design team. From the moment we started branding the show, we did everything perfectly. Maybe we didnt make it clear enough to viewers that this was a new comedy from the producers of How I Met Your Mother, Murphy added. But we ran that over and over in all of our TV spots. I just dont know. &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;img src=http://onionimg.local/3626/original/600.jpg&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; Members of NBCs marketing department struggle to figure out where they could have possibly gone wrong. City Buds, which, in addition to the two incompatible roommates, featured a comical dog and a grumpy Latino landlord, was the subject of the most intensive advertising campaign in NBCs history. Beyond the typical Internet, billboard, magazine, newspaper, television, and radio ads, the network also employed cutting-edge guerrilla marketing techniques, including a sticker campaign, personal canvassing, and 14,000 urinal communicators installed in public restrooms across the U.S. that, when activated by a stream of urine, informed patrons of the date and time City Buds was scheduled to air in their market. There was something for every demographic in this campaign, senior brand manager Earl Kinney said. I dont understand why, at the very least, Caucasian males in the 12 to 24 set didnt tune in. How could they not identify with these kinds of promotional devices? Kinney added that it was inconceivable that a television program supported by 1.25 million promotional coffee-cup sleeves could perform so poorly. Most disappointing to NBC executives was a weeklong interactive roadblock the network purchased on the home page of the popular social-networking website MySpace. The full-screen pop-up ad described the series as Just Shoot Me on a half-caff cappuccinoto go! Experts say that, while there have been several documented cases in the past of television programs underperforming in the face of brilliant marketing campaigns, a direct cause for the bizarre phenomenon has not yet been determined. We may never know what the X-factor is that can turn an expertly marketed show into a complete failure, said Richard Bertrand, an analyst at the ACNielsen market research firm. Who can say why the masterfully promoted Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip, for example, was canceled after just six episodes, while a show such as The Office, which quietly debuted in an undesirable time slot, is now one of the most successful shows on network television? Due to the failure of City Buds, NBC said it will redouble its marketing efforts for the shows midseason replacement, Nerds!, a sitcom from the creators of City Buds starring David Hyde Pierce. 
2	BREAKING: Trump On The Receiving End Of Possibly The Best News Yet... Its Not Even A Race 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	Ivanka Trump Slams Her Foot Down... Stops Obamas From Further Destroying Our Country In his two terms as President, Barack Obama has been draining our country of our resources his familys expensive vacations, numerous resources, and attempts to stay in the spotlight. While past presidents like George W. Bush moved back his ranch and home state after his terms ended, Obama plans on staying in D.C. In fact, Obama has even purchased a house in the cityjust two blocks away from the first daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner. The pair has either bought or leased a house in the Kalorama neighborhood, where Obama will also be living with his family. Its clear that Obama intends to stay actively involved in Washington politics. He has virtually no respect for the future president. Fortunately, having Ivanka as a neighbor will quickly put Obama back in his place. Were sure shell be keeping a close eye on him. Hopefully, he continues focusing his attention on the golf course instead of the countrys problems. 
3	The U.S. Military Is Creating Iron Men, Super Soldiers And Terminator Robots To Fight Future WarsMichael Snyder Are you ready for future conflicts where Iron Men, super soldiers, Terminator robots, and autonomous drones do most of the killing? Are you ready for American soldiers that have been genetically modified to perform superhuman feats of strength, run at superhuman speeds and even regrow limbs? The truth is that all of this stuff is being developed right now and most Americans have no idea that it is happening. Have you enjoyed watching the Iron Man movies that have come out in recent years? Tens of millions of Americans have flocked to see those films, and now they are being used as inspiration to create a new generation of exoskeletons for U.S. soldiers. In fact, it is being reported that this revolutionary new smart armor was specifically inspired by Tony Starks legendary nano suit used in the Iron Man movie series. This armor is currently being developed at MIT, and according tothe BBC this armor will give U.S. troops superhuman strength The US Army is working to develop revolutionary smart armour that would give its troops superhuman strength. It is calling on the technology industry, government labs and academia to help build the Iron Man-style suit. Other exoskeletons that allow soldiers to carry large loads much further have already been tested by the army. The Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit (Talos) would have such a frame but would also have layers of smart materials fitted with sensors. The suit would also need to have wide-area networking and a wearable computer similar to Google Glass, the US Army said. That is an entirely different thing altogether. In a previous article, I included a quote from a Daily Mail article that discussed how DARPA is now working on ways to create super soldiers that will be able to run at Olympic speeds and regrow limbs that have been blown off Tomorrows soldiers could be able to run at Olympic speeds and will be able to go for days without food or sleep, if new research into gene manipulation is successful. According to the U.S. Armys plans for the future, their soldiers will be able to carry huge weights, live off their fat stores for extended periods and even regrow limbs blown apart by bombs. The plans were revealed by novelist Simon Conway, who was granted behind-the-scenes access to the Pentagons high-tech Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency. How in the world could those things possibly be accomplished? Through genetic modification of course. A different Daily Mail article explained how this might work Most gene modification techniques involve placing genetically modified DNA inside a virus and injecting it into the human body. The virus then enters human cells, and its modified DNA attaches itself to the human DNA inside those cells. But should we really be using viruses to modify the DNA of our soldiers? Should we really be modifying the DNA of anyone? Of course not. This is very dangerous territory. Just because we now have the ability to play God and alter human DNA does not mean that we should. If our scientists are not careful, they could end up creating monsters far beyond what anyone could imagine right now. And once Pandoras Box is opened and these super soldiers start spreading their DNA around, it simply will not be possible to put the genie back into the bottle. Another area where the U.S. military is pushing boundaries is in the field of robotics. For example, Northrop Grumman has developed a 1 1/2-ton unmanned killing machine that is known as MADSS The MADSS is one mean robot. Developed by defense industry leaderNorthrop Grumman and currently being showcased at theFort Benning, Ga. Robotics Rodeo, the MADSS is a 1 1/2-ton unmanned ground vehicle designed to provide soldiers with covering fire while cutting down targets. Make no mistake, its an automatic shooting machine, But it requires people to operate it and set targets. The MADSSMobile Armed Dismount Support System tracks and fires on targets only once it gets the green light. It wont shoot unless a soldier is directing it. Its half killer robot, half killer giant remote-control car. While its top speed hasnt been stated,Northrop Grumman has said that it can follow troops on foot at about five miles an hour over rough terrain that conventional combat vehicles would find impassable. But a remote control vehicle is one thing. A Terminator-like Atlas robot is another. Right now, Boston Dynamics is working on a 330 pound humanoid robot that looks like something out of a bad science fiction movie Finally, theres fresh footage of Boston Dynamics Terminator-like Atlas robot, which was unveiled earlier this year. The 6-foot, 330-pound humanoid, which may or may not be a future robot infantryman, is designed to use tools and walk over rough terrain. Check it out stomping over several boxes of rocks like nobodys business, and then standing on one foot while being hit with a swinging weight. Of course, it laughs on the inside at these pathetic human challenges. You can view Atlas in action right here And personally, I think that the very human-looking robot known as Petman is even creepier. As long as humans are controlling this kind of technology, at least there are some safety checks. That sounds crazy, but according to a recent National Journal article that is exactly what is being developed. As you read this, scientists are working on ways to enable drones to make even lethal decisions autonomously Scientists, engineers and policymakers are all figuring out ways drones can be used better and more smartly, more precise and less damaging to civilians, with longer range and better staying power. One method under development is by increasing autonomy on the drone itself. Eventually, drones may have the technical ability to make even lethal decisions autonomously: to respond to a programmed set of inputs, select a target and fire their weapons without a human reviewing or checking the result. Yet the idea of the U.S. military deploying a lethal autonomous robot, or LAR, is sparking controversy. Though autonomy might address some of the current downsides of how drones are used, they introduce new downsides policymakers are only just learning to grapple with. The basic conceit behind a LAR is that it can outperform and outthink a human operator. If a drones system is sophisticated enough, it could be less emotional, more selective and able to provide force in a way that achieves a tactical objective with the least harm, said Purdue University Professor Samuel Liles. A lethal autonomous robot can aim better, target better, select better, and in general be a better asset with the linked ISR [intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance] packages it can run. Would you be comfortable with unmanned drones flying over your neighborhood that are able to decide on their own whether to kill you or not? I certainly would not be. This kind of reminds me of the killer drones in the new movie Oblivion that Tom Cruise starred in. I certainly would never want such technology being used to patrol the streets of America. And what if we lose control over this kind of technology once it becomes widespread someday? In the past, such notions where laughable. They were used as plots for bad science fiction movies and that was about it. But now we are moving into a time when science fiction is becoming science reality. Are you ready for that?

'I knew I could simply claim to be over 18 and continue onto my desired destination, but I also realized that I would have to live with that lie for the rest of my life,' said local resident Garrett Kinley, 17. 'I admit, I was curious to see what type of material I would find on www.juggworld.com, but that button was clearly placed there for a reason, and let's face it: 17 and three-quarters is not 18. I plan to return to the site three months from now, when I will be mature enough to handle its content.' Moments later, Kinley's friend Dave Gerrard, 17, pushed Kinley aside and clicked the 'I Am Over 18' button himself, at which point a tactical police unit broke down his bedroom door and arrested him. 
2	FBI Prevent New Years Terrorist Attack By Arresting HighA man from Rochester, New York, has been arrested for plotting a terrorist attack on New Years Eve. Emanuel Lutchman, age 25, is an ex-con Muslim convert and is affiliated with ISIS. He has been charged with trying to provide material support to a terrorist organization. The criminal complaint alleges that Lutchman was in contact with ISIS in Syria, who urged him to kill non-Muslims on New Years Eve. On December 27th, Lutchman sent a confidential informant an audio recording of himself swearing allegiance to ISIS, according to NBC News. NBC says Lutchman allegedly discussed with the informants attacks using pressure cooker bombs, a machete, and knives, the complaint said. WFLA The FBI thwarted Emanuel Lutchmans intent to kill civilians on New Years Eve, said Special Agent Adam Cohen. The FBI remains concerned about people overseas who use the Internet to inspire people in the United States to commit acts of violence where they live. ISIS is trying to inspire fear in America. It wont work. Do you think ISIS is no match for the FBI?

1	Readily acknowledging how outlandish the idea might seem at first, Erie, PA mayor Joe Sinnott held a press conference Tuesday to announce his new and admittedly crazy initiative to develop the citys waterfront and green spaces. I recognize this probably sounds insane, but Ive got this strange feeling there might be some sort of upside to converting our unused and blighted lakefront into a family- and business-friendly hub of the community, Sinnott told reporters, explaining how the counterintuitive and probably a little nuts proposal would replace the decaying and unsightly old manufacturing buildings along Lake Erie with a vibrant retail-entertainment district. But wait, it gets crazier: What if we also took some of the nearby vacant lots andhold on to your hats, guysturned them into public parks? With dog runs? Sounds bonkers, right? But I think it just might work. Though the proposal has received cautious support, city council president Melvin Witherspoon told reporters that the mayors idea to open the refurbished waterfront with a weekend-long street festival was the unhinged ranting of a madman. 
1	Planned Parenthood announced Tuesday the grand opening of its long-planned $8 billion Abortionplex, a sprawling abortion facility that will allow the organization to terminate unborn lives with an efficiency never before thought possible. During a press conference, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards told reporters that the new state-of-the-art fetus-killing facility located in the nation's heartland offers quick, easy, in-and-out abortions to all women, and represents a bold reinvention of the group's long-standing mission and values. 'Although we've traditionally dedicated 97 percent of our resources to other important services such as contraception distribution, cancer screening, and STD testing, this new complex allows us to devote our full attention to what has always been our true passion: abortion,' said Richards, standing under a banner emblazoned with Planned Parenthood's new slogan, 'No Life Is Sacred.' 'And since Congress voted to retain our federal funding, it's going to be that much easier for us to maximize the number of tiny, beating hearts we stop every day.' 'The Abortionplex's high-tech machinery is capable of terminating one pregnancy every three seconds,' Richards added. 'That's almost a million abortions every month. We're so thrilled!' The 900,000-square-foot facility has more than 2,000 rooms dedicated to the abortion procedure. The abundance of surgical space, Richards said, will ensure that women visiting the facility can be quickly fitted into stirrups without pausing to second-guess their decision or consider alternatives such as adoption. Hundreds of on-site counselors are also available to meet with clients free of charge and go over the many ways that carrying a child to term will burden them and very likely ruin their lives. The remaining space is dedicated to amenities such as coffee shops, bars, dozens of restaurants and retail outlets, a three-story nightclub, and a 10-screen multiplex theaterfeatures intended not only to help clients relax, but to foster a sense of community and make abortion more of a social event. 'We really want abortion to become a regular part of women's lives, especially younger women who have enough fertile years ahead of them to potentially have dozens of abortions,' said Richards, adding that the Abortionplex would provide shuttle service to and from most residences, schools, and shopping malls in the region. 'Our hope is for this facility to become a regular destination where a woman in her second trimester can whoop it up at karaoke and then kick back while we vacuum out the contents of her uterus.' 'All women should feel like they have a home at the Abortionplex,' Richards continued. 'Whether she's a high school junior who doesn't want to go to prom pregnant, a go-getter professional who can't be bothered with the time commitment of raising a child, or a prostitute who knows getting an abortion is the easiest form of birth controlall are welcome.' Nineteen-year-old Marcy Kolrath, one of the Abortionplex's first clients, told reporters that despite her initial hesitancy, she was quickly put at ease by staff members who reassured her that she could have abortions over and over for the next decade before finally committing to motherhood. Kolrath also said she was 'wowed' by the facility's many attractions. 'I was kind of on the fence in the beginning,' she said. 'But after a couple of margaritas and a ride down the lazy river they've got circling the place, I got caught up in the vibe. By the time it was over, I almost wished I could've aborted twins and gotten to stay a little longer.' 'I told my boyfriend we had to have sex again that very night,' Kolrath added. 'I really want to come back over Labor Day.' 
2	What Michael Moore Just Did To Trump Should Get Him Arrested Michael Moore has been instigating protests against Donald Trump for some time now. Just recently, he called on his Twitter followers to Disrupt the inauguration. The Majority have spokeby nearly 2.7 million votes counting! Silence is not an option, he added, linking to a website that issued a similar call. We call on all people of good conscience to join in disrupting the ceremonies, the website reads. If Trump is to be inaugurated at all, let it happen behind closed doors, showing the true face of the security state Trump will preside over. It must be made clear to the whole world that the vast majority of people in the United States do not support his presidency or consent to his rule. It is the responsibility of this minority of Democrats in Congress to block, obstruct, disrupt, and do whatever they can to prevent the onslaught that is going to happen with Donald Trump, that the American people do not support, Moore added. In a recent interview with CNN, Moore called Trump a malignant narcissist. No other politician in my lifetime has ever brought [trade] to the forefront, and the fact of the matter is we do get screwed on trade, one audience member pushed back on Moore. And when he doesnt follow through, when he doesnt get rid of NAFTA, when youre still screwed in Michigan five months from now, two years from nowwhere are you gonna be then on this issue? Moore demanded. The CNN newscaster even started grilling Moore on his response, wondering how he could be so sure Trump would fail. He has an ideology that he believes in, and its called Donald J. Trump, Moore responded. Thats what hes going to make sure that hes gonna take care of. I dont think hes going to do anything for you, the working person. You could say the same about Hillary Clinton, an audience member reminded Moore. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Has Moore taken things to a dangerous level?

2	Former FBI Official James Kallstrom Risks Everything To Expose THIS About Obama Former FBI Agent James Kallstrom is coming forward with information he has developed over his career in the FBI. He is claiming that Obamas Syrian Refugee program is a cover up. He claims that Obama is acting in direct opposition of the American people, and the statistics and support surrounding his Syrian Refugee plan dont add up. He is basically saying that Obama is trying to destroy America from the inside out. When you look at pictures of them 90 percent males between the age of 18 and 30 its crazy. Its phony. And we must end the sanctuary cities in the United States. What a farce. What a joke, said Kallstrom. No figure of authority has been brave enough to tell the truth about Obama. But he has shown us time and time against that he is a liar, and cant be trusted. Should Obama be removed from office before he brings down America? 
2	Tim Allen Puts Everything On The Line To Humiliate Trump Haters On Live TV The liberal entertainment industry has been putting pressure on actors and performers to stand against Donald Trump. To do otherwise has been a direct threat to their careerwhich is why its even more admirable that Tim Allen and his show Last Man Standing is not afraid to break the cycle. On last Fridays episode, the men at Outdoor Man decided to use the preparation for their annual colonoscopies as a bonding experience. As they are sitting around playing poker, the men make a series of bathroom jokes that arent going to sit well with liberals. Heres a bit of the dialogue, sure to have liberals outraged: Jay: Great thing about this poker game is I dont have to bring beer or chips or anything. I mean, not that I would anyway, but this time, its not rude. What do you think? Do you applaud Allen and his show? 
1	A coalition of concerned NFL mothers held a press conference Friday, expressing their fears about the growing risk of binge drinking that occurs beneath the pile of players attempting to gain control of the loose ball. There gets to be so many of our boys in there you cant even see whats going on at the bottom, but believe me, weve all heard stories, said Karen Reed, mother of Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed. I just hate the fact that I know my son is down there all the time where I cant look out for him. I worry about other players taking advantage of him down there, maybe pressuring him to drink or smoke where they think they can get away with it. Several of the mothers also reported that after their sons exited the piles they often appeared woozy, delirious, or glazedin some cases even vomiting at nightevidence the women cited as definitive proof that their offspring were drunk. 
3	It is here: Court ruling paves way for mass confiscation of firearms in AmericaBy Alex Thomas Shockingly, the court ruled that nearly all of the most drastic gun control law in the history of the United States did not violate the Second Amendment and is therefore constitutional. Thats right,a law passed in the wake of Sandy Hook that included and paved the way for confiscation of millions of legally purchased firearms has been ruled constitutional with proponents already calling for a similar law to be enacted at the federal level. As an article published by the American Thinker noted, If the SAFE Act is upheld by the Supreme Court, nothing prevents Congress from summarily outlawing tens of millions of firearms overnight. Once those firearms become contraband, the government may confiscate and destroy them without compensating the owner (just as the government confiscates and destroys illegal drugs). The Second Circuits decision leaves the Second Amendment in its gravest peril ever. Second Amendment rights are now hanging by a one-vote margin in the same Supreme Court that upheld Obamacare and declared a national right to gay marriage. Constitutional conservatives and Second Amendment supporters ought to be terrified over the prospect of Justice Scalia having a heart attack during a Hillary Clinton presidency. (And as we know Clinton is calling for mass confiscation herself) In the weeks since the most recent mass shooting in the country, literally dozens of mainstream publications have promoted Australia as the country to look towards when consideringnew gun control laws in America. Despite the fact that for years gun control groups and anti-gun liberals have claimed that they only want common sense gun control, news outlets such as Salon and Slate are once againopenly praising Australias controversial 1996 gun control law, a law that included a mandatory gun buyback program under the threat of government force. After the Oregon school shooting, highly trafficked liberal news outlet Slate republished an article praising Australias gun control law that was originally released in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre. In the weekssince the recent shooting the article has become the top read report on the siteas well aslinked by dozens of other liberal news outlets. (emphasis mine) On April 28, 1996, a gunman opened fire on tourists in a seaside resort in Port Arthur, Tasmania. By the time he was finished, he had killed 35 people and wounded 23 more. It was the worst mass murder in Australias history. Twelve days later, Australias government did something remarkable. Led by newly elected conservative Prime Minister John Howard, it announced a bipartisan deal with state and local governments to enact sweeping gun-control measures. A decade and a half hence, the results of these policy changes are clear: They worked really, really well. At the heart of the push was a massive buyback of more than 600,000 semi-automatic shotguns and rifles, or about one-fifth of all firearms in circulation in Australia. The countrys new gun laws prohibited private sales, required that all weapons be individually registered to their owners, and required that gun buyers present a genuine reason for needing each weapon at the time of the purchase. (Self-defense did not count.) In the wake of the tragedy, polls showed public support for these measures at upwards of 90 percent. Like most other articles praising Australias gun laws, the author of the Slate article completely leaves out the fact that the buyback program was mandatorywhich means that anyone that refused to go along with the program was subject to government raids and or violence. Remember, these are the same liberals who claim that they do not want to take away all guns while literally writing articles promoting a gun law that not only included gun confiscation but also banned purchasing guns for use in self-defense! Another recent article published in the mainstream press, this time by CNN, dreamed of disarming all Americans while calling forbanning all gunsonce and for all. The article, written byliberal poet andMiddlebury College professorJay Parini, was a perfect example of how on one hand gun control advocates and their media allies tell the public that they only want common sense reform while on the other they are pushing for a full-scale ban. Parini gets to the crux of his and the many who share his views on the lefts agenda which is the confiscation of millions of legally owned firearms under the threat of government attack and subsequent outlawing of all handguns and rifles. Let me dream for a moment: I would much prefer to live in a country where only hunters who pass appropriately strict tests for mental competence and a knowledge of gun safety can still acquire rifles that are appropriate for hunting. Handguns and assault rifles would be banned, period. Banned. Period. There you have it folks, CNN letting a hard left authoritarian use their platform to dream about disarming America. It gets worse. So lets get rid of guns in this country, once and for all, making it a felony to possess a handgun or assault rifle. Over a period of years, illegal guns will gradually disappear. Guns dont kill people, as they say. People who acquire guns legally or illegally do. And we should make it extremely difficult for them to get their hands on these weapons. Not only are the mainstream media and gun control advocates pushing for a mass confiscation plan in the United States, they are also making it clear that they have no problem with gun owners being shot whichwould be alikely and obvious outcome if the government decided to outlaw millions of firearms overnight. Just days ago, author andCoppin State University writing teacherD. Watkins published an article on the prominent hard left news outlet Salon.com that called for all gun owners to be shot if they wanted to use their 2nd Amendment right. Starting out the article with the writers dreams of charging five thousand dollars per bullet, Watkins then makes his position on gun ownership in America startlingly clear. (emphasis mine) Rock was definitely on point, $5000 bullets would be great but Id take it a step furtherI believe that being shot should be requirement for gun ownership in America. Its very simple. You need to have gun, like taking selfies with pistols, cant live with out it? Then take a bullet and you will be granted the right to purchase the firearm of your choice. If we could successfully implement this rule, I guarantee the mass shootings will stop. Watching cablenews now in days makes me physically ill. Week in and week out we are forced to learn about another coward, who cant stand to deal with the same rejection that most of us face so they strap themselves with guns and then cock and spray at innocent people. Heartbroken survivors and family member images go viral, as our elected officials remain clueless. So there you have it. A court has upheld a New York law that paves the way for mass confiscation in America while at the same time the mainstream media is pushing this plan for confiscation and making it clear that if gun owners have to be shot to achieve this agenda then so be it. The one question that remains is whether or not the American people will stand by as their 2nd Amendment right is openly destroyed right before their very eyes.

That would place them without any of the protections afforded American citizens by the constitution they seem so desperately to hate. May God save us from those who propose to save us from ourselves. Who do they think they are, that they have the right to deny ME my rights. That is as Anti-American as it gets! Guns dont kill people, People Kill people So lets get rid of People God please save us from these delusional libtards!!!! Violating the constitutional rights of law abiding citizens will NOT stop gun (or any kind of) violence. A societal respect for human life, fathers in the households and no longer glorifying the thug culture will. What it WILL do is force american citizens to arm themselves and fight this type of tyranical govt. I think gun confiscation is a great thing. Lets start with the police and the military. OK? I said Secret Service should be first! Yeah, mandatory background checks for police first!! Drug test the pigs. All Law Enforcement agencies do background check on all the applicants. First they have to pass the Law Enforcement academy. Then they have to pass the State exam. Now thats an idea. That should stop about 99 percent of the killing. Keep in mind that the designers and implementers of the agenda in play do not care about our constitutional rights. The elites see the constitution as a piece of paper with no more value than a piece of paper, so we can all cry to the high heavens that they are violating our rights, but they have already decided that we have no rights. And theyre right. What to as people with no rights is the issue at hand. Correction: what to DO as people with no rights is the issue at hand Edomite Bolshevik Jews want your guns to annihilate you like they did in 1917 Russia. Yes! When I tell people similar, they call me anti-Semite. Israeli Jews have infiltrated and control American Gentile Goyim already. The only rights that exist are those youre willing to fight and die for. LOL. We have no rights now because everyone is to busy cleaning their little guns. Yep! Absolutely right Dirty Dave ! Its just that simple. Not easy but simple. .or those you can defend WTF! We will never use them to protect our rights ANYWAY! We have NO RIGHTS as it is and NO ONE has done a damn thing with their precious guns to stop it. WTF do you think the second amendment is for? So you can go hunting? Besides, anyone who tries to form any kind of anti-tyrant militia is quickly disposed of by our freedom loving government. PURE BOVINE EXCREMENT ! The world is full of it. Its not over. Way Too Many Guns, Too few Jack Booted Thugs The sheer numbers of guns and gun owners and the small workforce of jack booted thugs make complete gun confiscation impossible. It would take eight months of continuous kicking down doors for Obamas minions to get rid of Americas guns. Assuming no one resisted. Lets do the math. 300 million guns. 150 Now comes the tough part To raid a house you need around 20 people, which includes support / communications / medical personnel. For about 3 hours per house. Multiply 3 hours X 20 jack booted thugs X 30,000,000. Thats Theres around 1.8 million individuals who could be Call it 900,000 jack booted thugs on tap. Assume an 8-hour day, since this operation is going to take a while. Each Ok. 250 days to sweep America of guns, assuming no one resists. Meanwhile, a man who was never on their gun list purchases one of these and gets to work on a Ruger knock-off: [link to http://www.harborfreight.com] And the whole process begins again. They hope sheep wont resist. Yes, they mainly wage psychological warfare, using scare tactics. We are waiting !!!!!!!! BRING IT ON ! CNN. = Communist News Network They still dont get it. Hunting government officials? Im all for banning guns. Lets start with The Secret Service, then go down the line to CIA, FBI, DEA, ATF, and so on. Americans are debt slaves to The British Crown! Stupid Americans think theyre free, and dont know theyre just serfs! If there really were such a thing as gun nuts, then judges like the ones running that appellate court would have a neat red hole in the middle of their forhead. The fact that no one goes after those guys tells me that all these mass shootings are staged psy-ops. The original Sons of Liberty fought to unfetter themselves from the shackles of taxation imposed by a tyrannical, governing body; and in its stead, they received an equally unjust legal form of Constitutional taxation. Donation is a voluntary practice putting the power over governance directly into the peoples hands. We would have the right to fund whichever cause we so wished. You dont like war? Fine, dont fund the military. This system can be implemented and is partially why the American Revolution started, to stop forced taxation. Then, the constitution was ratified, effectively making federal taxation legal. There is great irony now in contemplating the failed slogan taxation without representation when, in reality it should have been donation instead of taxation. I offer a quote for all of your contemplation: Lets start by confiscating all guns on TV and in Hollywood movieshey Hollywood Liberals..put your money where your mouths are. The amount of ignorance is appalling. In many states, counties and municipalities the feds cannot enforce any further second amendment restrictions anymore. The laws and provisions have been created to avoid any further violations on fundamental unalienable rights so what they rule or say or do it doesnt matter. The people will not follow through with any radical communist agendas for the disarmament of america. If the Australians like to be disarmed great for them. This will not happen in America. Someone will need to be armed to come to the rescue of those who cannot longer defend themselves. Or they might not go to the rescue and let them exposed to whatever the consequences based on their previous stupid choices. Sting once wrote a song called: History, will teach us nothing. Listen to it. Tell that to all the people being brutalized by police! (since it is the police who will be enforcing the gun-control laws should they pass -a little common sense please!) From My Cold Dead Hands ( ) if thats the case then civil war will break out. leave OUR 2ND ALONE YOU FOOLS OF IGNORANCE CORRUPTED COURT SYSTEM. Im not 100% sure but I dont believe that Australia had anything like out 2nd Amendment. The horrifying part about the gun confiscations that occurred in Australia, was that they never tell you about the post-confiscation crimes statistics. Armed robberies were up 46% within two years as one example. So obviously, only the law-abiding turned in their guns. Killers will always lurk among us. Personally, I would rather deal with the reduced crime with gun ownership, an occasional nut case shooting spree- than know that after guns were taken I had no defense against the criminals or a corrupt government. Because history has shown us, that after a government takes away your right of self-defense, they have no qualms about taking your life also, along with your land, your business, your assets. How do you think that Vladimir Putin became a billionaire anyway? Because he is a savvy businessman? Nope. Confiscation. They want our guns? MOLON LABE !!! AP, you know this will never happen in America! No cop in his right mind would ever take on the duty of firearm confiscation because it would be a suicide mission. Stop fear mongering you frigging clowns.. No matter what law they pass, if the State or Federal Government decided to confiscate our guns their would be a lot of people killed. That would start a Civil War the citizens against the Government. bullcrapconfiscation will lead to random assinations of anti gunners politicians, their famiky, even friends..and even uniformed officia,,,God forbid What a load of crapbut your right Guns dont kill people, People Kill People..So we need to get rid of People Obama want be protected forever an his cronies their the reason we need our guns an they know it 
2	VIDEO: Father of Soldier Killed Searching for Bergdahl Has Some Brutal Questions for Obama Andy Andrews is the father of a soldier who was killed when he was on a mission to find a missing fellow officer. Understandably, he is heartbroken, and has some serious questions for the Obama Administration. Most pressing of course is Why did my son die? Andrews originally asked the question through tears during a House of Committee on Foreign Affairs hearing, that was being held after five members of the Taliban were exchanged for Bergdahl. His son, Daryn Andrews, was on a search and rescue mission in Afghanistan in 2009, when enemy forces attacked and he was killed. Now, his father feels that his death was a great injustice, after reports have revealed that he was actually searching for a deserter. Representative Randy Weber of Texas asked Andrews the difficult question of whether or not he would agree to trade more members of the Taliban in exchange for his sons life back. His answer was simple. If my son had been a deserter, than no. Absolutely not. But my son was a man of honor, and I would do almost anything. My son was a soldiers solider, He continued, And it didnt matter what the assignment was, he was going to do it. Watch the heartbreaking video of Andrews testimony below:

1	Spurred into action by the surge of Super PAC donations ahead of November's general election, the American people this week collectively managed to raise $945.23 to offset the influence of corporate spending on politics. 'Today we take a stand against big money's stranglehold on the U.S. electoral system and give a voice back to the voters,' said spokesman Danny Bader, an unemployed carpenter who scraped together $1.10 as part of the effort to counteract the unlimited number of undisclosed independent expenditures corporations are legally allowed to make. 'With these funds, we will print some pamphlets and hopefully get a website up, and we will send a clear message that billions in shadowy spending will not buy this election.' At press time, the American people were struggling to raise an additional $65 for another dozen T-shirts. 
3	Media Buries Syria Comments on U.S. Partnership with Al QaedaAaron Dykes and Melissa Melton This article on MSNBC changed its headline from Syria: US strikes would help those who blew up World Trade Center to Obama on Russias Syria chemical weapons proposal: Take it with a grain of salt. The media outlet purposefully buried information about Syrias Foreign Minister asking why Americas president wants to help out the same exact al Qaeda terrorists that supposedly carried out the September 11, 2001 attacks that devastated America and sunk it into the police state it has become. Surely mainstream outlets like MSNBC must realize that they have been all-too-complicit in forcing the idea down our throats for the last twelve years that al Qaeda carried out the 9/11 attacks that ended in the deaths of over 3,000 Americans, not to mention culminating in the Department of Homeland Security takeover, the guilty-until-proven-innocent Transportation Security Administration grope downs at airports, the National Defense Authorization Act that basically nullifies parts of our Constitution in claiming Americans suspected of terrorism can be detained indefinitely without official charge or trial, and the creation of supposedly Constitution-free zones 100 miles in from our nations borders. To turn around at this late hour and try to rally people behind President Obama that America needs to aid that same terrorist group that propelled our country down a black well of tyranny in 2001 in Syria in 2013 because it fits the White Houses international agenda at the moment is incomprehensible and morally reprehensible at the very least. 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	The National Anti- Quartering Association, America's foremost Third Amendment rights group, held its annual gala in Washington Monday to honor 191 consecutive years of advocating the protection of private homes and property against the unlawful boarding of military personnel. 'This is a proud day for quarters-owners everywhere,' said the organization's president, Charles Davison, in his keynote address. 'Year after year, we have sent a loud and clear message to the federal government and to anyone else who would attack our unassailable rights: Hands off our cottages, livery stables, and haylofts.' The NAQA was created in 1816 in response to repeated violations of the Third Amendment during the War of 1812. The organization quickly grew in influence and cites its vigilance as the primary reason why the amendment has only been litigated once in a federal court since the Bill of Rights was ratified. The organization is also arguably the country's most powerful political lobby; every politician elected since 1866 has fully supported Third Amendment rights. 'The framers of the Constitution provided the American people with the right to have their homes free of troops unless Congress mandates otherwise during a time of war,' Davison said. 'Thanks to our tireless efforts, six generations of civilians have never known the cruelty and duress of quartering unruly foot soldiers.' Davison recalled the 'dark days' of 1982, when the federal case of Engblom v. Carey threatened to strip Americans of their fundamental Third Amendment freedoms. The ruling by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals acknowledged that the State of New York had indeed violated the Third Amendment rights of the plaintiffs. The case, according to Davison, was 'a chilling reminder of how even an established 200-year-old right hangs by a slender thread.' 'I don't think people fully understand how close we came to completely losing such a basic right,' Davison said. 'If the Second Circuit had ruled otherwise, we'd be living in a world in which soldiers would be quartering amok upon our very hearthstones.' Davison expressed pride in the NAQA's grassroots involvement at the local level, citing the association's direct-mailing campaigns and its fully staffed regional centers where citizens can report Third Amendment rights abuses. The NAQA also holds quartering-safety seminars for citizens interested in learning how to effectively defend their households against U.S. troops seeking shelter. Davison reiterated the organization's promise to oppose pro-quartering legislation should any ever be proposed. 'Keep the fat hands of soldiers out of America's larders!' Davison said to rousing applause. He was quoting the NAQA's familiar slogan, which can be found on T-shirts, bumper stickers, and other merchandise sold on the group's website. Davison ended his address by warning of the dangers of the NAQA resting on its laurels. 'Pro-quartering advocates are waiting for just the right moment to stick a bunch of troops in our homes,' Davison said. 'Well, I say to them that we will never allow this to happen. You can count on the true patriots of the NAQA to ensure that no chickens and livestock will be appropriated, and private stores of salt, brandy, candles, and vinegar will stay firmly where they belong: in civilian hands.' The NAQA is known for its quick and aggressive mobilization when it believes Third Amendment rights are at risk, and has rushed to the defense of homeowners it believes are being illegally coerced into housing American soldiers. Last month, 200 NAQA members marched on a private residence in Fairfax, VA after receiving a tip that the owners were being victimized by three Navy seamen demanding prolonged quartering. They ended their demonstration, however, when it was discovered that the sailors were brothers on shore leave visiting their parents. Davison, 49, has headed the NAQA since January, replacing longtime president Lawrence Frost. Frost, 58, left the organization to chair the Citizens Committee for the Right to Drink, a 21st Amendment rights group committed to the continued legal status of alcohol for Americans of drinking age. 
3	Governments Worldwide Adopting FATCA Style LegislationJeff Berwick The tax authority will not be able to empty these individuals accounts, as they will have to leave a minimum of 5,000 in the account. This brings the UK in line with many other tax authorities which already have the power to recover debts directly from an individuals account, such as France and the US, the Budget documents explain. So, HMRC is seeking the green light to raid UK bank accounts, potentially depriving people of any means to live. The HMRC does not have a stellar service record, and many people in Britain worry about abuse of power and incompetence from the government agency. The changes are written down in the most recent budget package for the British government, in which a paragraph states The Government will modernise and strengthen [the tax agencys] debt collection powers to recover financial assets from the bank accounts of debtors who owe over 1,000 of tax. There is no reason to keep your savings in UK banks. Or in Russia for that matter. China has also pledged to make international efforts to fight tax base erosion and profit shifting by moving funds to low-tax jurisdictions. This is all part of the G20s pledge to combat the global practice of shifting funds to low-tax jurisdictions to evade taxes. Despite the quickly changing tides, we still believe the US will see the brunt of the draconian taxation measures as the US is the most-indebted nation with multiple wars on different fronts and a leviathan government capable of snooping on anyone worldwide and with the ability to coerce other nations to hand over American assets. Thats why weve organized the TDV Wealth Management Crisis Conference II. Clearly, it doesnt matter where you are in the world governments, probably yours, are thinking about or already drafting legislation to tax income based on nationality and not on location. Our upcoming TDV Wealth Management Crisis Conference in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico from April 30th to May 4th (with an early bird special price if you book by April 2nd) will not only impart on attendees all the risks, but also give you the resources to act now, in a world increasingly bent on taxation. The fact of the matter it is growing daily more difficult to keep up with what you owe on your taxes. This, for the most part, doesnt matter where you live in the world. Governments govern by consensus, not by the people, but of each other. As I wrote earlier the G20 has pledged to crackdown on individuals and corporations from offshoring themselves in order to save their money from being gobbled up by the taxman. We see this most dramatically in the US, where in less than 100 days FATCA will be the law of the land. I predict thousands of people will be caught in the US dragnet known as FATCA, and many will be caught out of mere confusion regarding the law. But, one thing is for sure, the press arm has made it clear: evading taxes is bad. That means that those people who make honest mistakes wont have very much recourse to a sympathetic peer-group. Instead, they will be seen as dirty capitalists who dont contribute to the greater good by those blinded by the two-party system of extortion and violence. But it isnt too late to understand the law, and in particular the way the law is on your side. Believe it or not there are still great opportunities for you to organize your life in order get the most out of your income. And whats more, all of these strategies are legal. Thats right legal ways for you to save what is rightfully yours so that it can be passed on to future generations. I do urge you to act quickly, however. Once you have internationalized and protected your financial affairs it will be nearly impossible for governments to seize those assets. But, it is becoming very clear that governments worldwide will be attempting to clamp down on their own tax slaves by any means possible. The sooner you structure yourself, fully legally, internationally the better because it will not get any easier from here. Anarcho-Capitalist. Libertarian.

1	For the past four years, the first of the month meant one thing to Chicago single mother LaTonya Mitchell: It was the day she could cash her monthly welfare check for $618barely enough to cover her own expenses, much less purchase clothes, school supplies and double cheeseburgers for her five children. Hamburger Help But all that changed on Oct. 20, 1997. In a welfare-privatization experiment closely watched across the U.S., the Illinois legislature approved a bill to radically revamp the state's AFDC system and transfer welfare control to the McDonald's Corporation, giving Mitchell and 712,000 other Illinois residents living below the poverty line 'a well-deserved break today.' According to Illinois governor Jim Edgar, the partnership between fast food and public assistance makes solid sense. 'As hard as the government has tried, the reality is, McDonald's better understands and is better equipped to meet the needs of America's poor than the outdated federal welfare bureaucracy is,' Edgar said. 'McDonald's deals with millions of unskilled, destitute people every dayit feeds them, employs them, clothes them, and gives them shelter in its spacious, sanitary seating areas.' Edgar said McDonald's will provide those living below the poverty line with a number of benefits each month, including a cash stipend; a book of 25 McFood Stamps redeemable for Big Macs and other sandwich items; immunization for children; and, for pregnant mothers, collectible Flubber cups. Felix Melanson, McDonaldland Secretary of Health and Human Services, said those with dependents will also receive special scratch-and-win welfare game pieces. 'Here at McDonald's, we strongly believe that poor people deserve a chance,' Melanson said. 'And we give them just thata one-in-three chance to win great prizes like soft drinks, official NBA game gear, trips to Disney World, and a grand prize of a free McMedicard, good for an entire year's worth of subsidized, low-cost health care.' McDonaldAid recipients will also be provided with on-site day care for their children. By March 1998, Melanson said, every location will be equipped with a McDonald's Playland, enabling single mothers like Mitchell to look for a job while their children are looked after in a safe, cashier-supervised play area. 'Welfare recipients deserve the same secure, reliable day care for their children that other parents enjoy,' Melanson said. 'That's why we've made sure that all Playlands are situated in full view of the registers.' According to Melanson, what makes the new, privatized system different is its emphasis on 'personal responsibility and self-help.' Recipients, he said, 'will be required to work up to five hours a week and attend job-training instructional-video presentations in order to remain eligible for McDonaldAid.' A McDonaldAid welfare office on Chicago's Dearborn Avenue. Welfare recipients' duties at McDonald's will include light lifting, cup and straw restock, and mopping. Further, all recipients who use the bathroom will be required to wash their hands thoroughly before returning to work. 'The idea here is independence, not dependence,' Melanson said. 'This is not a handout: These people will be responsible for everything from refilling ketchup dispensers to busing their own tables when they're done eating. They are also responsible for keeping their own uniforms clean and presentable.' While the Illinois privatization plan has been widely praised by many welfare-reform advocates, it does have its detractors. According to state Sen. James Ory (R-Carbondale), the delicious taste of McDonald's food will encourage many people to remain on McDonaldAid rather than look for jobs. 'We need to provide incentives for people to get off welfare. This food does just the opposite,' said Ory, co-sponsor of a bill setting a six-piece cap on McNuggets orders for welfare recipients and limiting them to sweet-and-sour sauce only. 'Those who are not interested in finding work will take advantage, feeding off the system and its tasty cheeseburgers and fries.' Responding to Ory, McDonald's officials said that a number of deterrents have been built into the new system to prevent people from abusing it. 'We want to help people, but we don't want it to become a lifestyle,' said Justin N. King, McDonaldland Secretary of Urban Affairs. 'That's why one key feature of McDonaldAid is a strict 30-minute time limit on loitering in the seating area. While eating at McDonald's restaurants, welfare recipients will be expected to make an earnest effort to chew and swallow at all times. If they cease eating at any point during their stay in the restaurant, or remain in the restaurant beyond the allotted 30-minute time limit, they will find themselves out on the street.' Further, to discourage recipients from having additional children just to receive extra food items, condiments will be removed from sandwiches on a sliding scale according to number of dependents. For example, for those with five children, the second child's Big Mac will come without special sauce; the third child's without special sauce and lettuce; the fourth child's without special sauce, lettuce and cheese; and the fifth child's without special sauce, lettuce, cheese and pickles. Those with more than five children will be ineligible for even the onions and sesame-seed bun, receiving two all-beef patties only. In addition, McDonaldAid recipients will not be eligible for refills once they have left the restaurant premises. 'Ours is a strict 'one-visit-per-cup' refill policy,' King said. So far, the privatization experiment is proving successful. In 1996, the Illinois welfare system operated at a loss of $1.2 billion, but since taking over welfare, McDonald's has operated at a surplus of $420 million in Illinois. Other states have taken notice as well: Minnesota, Mississippi, Georgia and Oregon are all considering similar fast-food-based welfare programs, and negotiations are already under way between California and El Pollo Loco. But it is America's poor who stand to benefit the most. 'Before, I didn't have anything. Now I have a roof over my head, day care for my kids and Quarter Pounders With Cheese every night,' Chicago's Mitchell said. 'Plus, my manager says I have potential, and, within six months, I can look forward to becoming part of the McDonald's team. For the first time, I actually have a future. This is my welfare system.' 
2	The U.S. Government Just Purchased 30,000 Guillotines For THIS Disturbing Reason The United States government has just purchased 30,000 guillotines. Half of these are being stored in Montana, while the other half is headed to Georgia. So why exactly does the government need 30,000 guillotines and 600 million rounds of hollow point bullets? Georgia House of Representatives 1995/1996 Sessions HB 1274 Death penalty; guillotine provisions Code Sections 17-10-38/ 17-10-44 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT What do you think? Why does Georgia need so many guillotines? Is there a bigger plan that the government isnt telling us about? 
1	The Federal Aviation Administration said engine failure was to blame for a pilot losing control of a four-seater Cessna aircraft that crashed head-on into President Bush Thursday. According to the FAA report, the nose of the Cessna 350 impacted with the president's face at 110 mph, instantly killing pilot James Morris, 45. Bush reportedly suffered third-degree burns on 95 percent of his body, a broken spine, 20 shattered ribs, one collapsed lung, a basilar skull fracture, and minor leakage of cerebrospinal fluid. Bush, who had been hiking alone in an isolated region of the 125-acre presidential retreat before the accident, was trapped under the burning engine block for 45 minutes before rescue crews reached the crash site. While doctors said they worked swiftly to remove the smoldering wreckage from the president's body, much of the plane's burning debris had already fused to his skeleton before he could be airlifted from the scene. Bush is resting comfortably at Bethesda Naval Hospital. 
3	US Air Raids: The Unlearned Lesson of LibyaYuriy Zinin The alarming statements made by Libyan authorities coincide with the ongoing missile strikes of the US against ISIL militants. This latest US military endeavor is now in the medias focus, while Middle Eastern experts try to figure out the purpose of those strikes, just like Washingtons future steps and time limits that remain largely unclear to this day. Those experts believe that a total of three armed interventions of the United States (Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya) over the past 13 years have effectively undermined the governing capabilities of the invaded states, which led to the destabilization of the entire region. In 2011 NATO airstrikes against Libya that were carried out under the pretext of the urgent need of protecting civilians from a violent dictator, cleared the road to power for radical militants. Three years ago, once Muammar Gaddafi had been brutally murdered in October 2011, these militants took over Libya by filling the vacuum created by foreign intervention. From that moment on, the country had been plunged deeper into bloodshed created by the former revolutionaries as they cut each others throats in a fight for rich oil-producing regions. Now theres two military-political groups in Libya, and each has its own government and parliament. The first resides in Tripoli and is supporting the temporary parliament which has already lost its legitimacy. The second is backing the newly elected parliament in the besieged city of Tobruk, some 1,200 kilometers from Tripoli. According to the UN, new clashes between the two groups in recent months have generated a total of 150,000 refugees, including foreign workers that fled abroad. The differences between the two camps runs so deep that the chances of them reaching an agreement are minimal. Additionally, the new governments are unable to stop the tribal clashes that are tearing the country apart, since the structure of the new government bodies is feeble and unsound. In these circumstances the ideas of radical Islam become the governing ideology. What else could one expect? After all, these numerous forces and factions were brought together to attack the old regime. United by hatred alone, they are highly incapable of negotiating with each other. Syria and Iraq will face the same fate that has been plaguing Libya; if Washington and its allies that strike the ISIL positions today havent learnt the lessons of Libya, said Prof. Mieczyslaw Boduszynskis, former US diplomat to Libya. Clearly, any intervention from outside exacerbates internal conflicts and contradictions in any state. After that, theres no bringing order to the bloodshed and lawlessness, no establishing of an effective civilian body of command, hence a destroyed state that is simply left to plunderers. Today we are being told that the US coalition will rely on the so-called moderate opposition in Syria. But how can you create a solid unit out of dozens of groups of militants eager to fight each other on any given day? Above all, these groups are largely sympathetic with radical Islamists, so they have already openly declared that they will not be engaging ISI, if Washington refuses to attack the regular Syrian army troops. Their only desire is to take full advantage of the US air campaign. Should they succeed, then Syria is doomed for unconditional blood feuds between different groups, a haven for Islamic militants, a sad failure, which Libya has recently become.

1	Sources confirmed Tuesday that if you just apply yourself and refocus your energy toward something a little more concrete, there is absolutely nothing holding you back from becoming a successful chiropractor like your cousin Jeffrey. Jeffrey reportedly made some time on Thursday to see your aunt Arlene and didnt even charge her. Jeffrey, 32, who reportedly works long but not crazy hours, and started his own practice a year after graduating from chiropractic school, makes a very comfortable living. According to your Aunt Sharon, Jeffrey is his own boss, he can take vacation time whenever he wants, and people call him 'doctor.' Sources have urged you to look at Jeffrey, just look at him with his house and lawn and all that new chiropractic equipment he was talking about last Thanksgiving, and don't think for a second that couldn't be you. Sources added that you have always been just as smart, if not smarter, than Jeffrey. Though records indicate you typically roll your eyes at the mention of your cousin, often saying, 'Jeffrey, Jeffrey, always with Jeffrey,' those familiar with the situation have urged you to just calm down and listen for a second. The website www.salarywizard.com, which is a good one, confirmed that the average yearly income for a chiropractor is $85,000a figure that would get you out of that one-bedroom apartment of yours, and is admittedly a lot more than what you make at the restaurant you've been at for, what is it now, six years? Sources know you asked your brother Max for a $2,000 loan last week. Is everything okay? Further research revealed that chiropractors specialize in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mechanical disorders of what's called the musculoskeletal system, which is perfect because you always loved science in school. Being a chiropractor reportedly sounds very interesting and is probably something you would be excellent at if you took it seriously like Jeffrey, who has a nice haircut, and more than one decent suit, and look at him now on that bus ad. Jeffrey is reportedly thinking about adding a patio to his backyard next summer. Born in 1978, Jeffrey is three years younger than you, not that that matters. After graduating from Iowa State, which you could have easily attended had you worked a little harder in high school, Jeffrey enrolled at Palmer Chiropractic College, where, according to his wife Diane, he still has an in. He has two children, Matt, 4, and Grace, 2. Don't you want kids someday? While you have adamantly stated in prior conversations that you do not care about the amount of money Jeffrey makes and that you are not impressed by the new 56-inch television he had installed in his bedroomplasma, by the wayyou have been begged not to walk away from this conversation because this is reportedly important. If you don't want to be a chiropractor like Jeffrey, sources claim that's fine, but what about going into sales like your sister Amanda, or doing something with your hands like your friend Greg. Greg is also doing quite well for himself after he finally got his act together, sources confirmed. Look, those with knowledge of the situation said, you have to do something with your life because the truth of the matter is that you are not getting any younger. You should, at the very least, talk to Jeffrey or, sources maintained, see if maybe he needs an assistant or something. At press time, if you don't call him then it's your own fault. 
1	The Mafia announced Monday that after more than 50 years of close relations, the powerful crime organization is breaking off ties with the CIA. 'Our partnership with the CIA has been extremely productive over the years, resulting in many great accomplishments, including the Kennedy and Martin Luther King assassinations, the creation of Las Vegas, and the near-overthrow of the Castro regime,' Mafia official Joseph 'Joey' Tucci said. 'Unfortunately, that partnership is no longer effective.' Tucci denied any Mafia involvement in the 1991 cancellation of The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd. 
1	PHILADELPHIAAccording to a report released by a privately funded think tank Monday, 'sorry' just isn't cutting it anymore. Dwyer tells assembled reporters that if a frog had wings, it wouldn't bump its ass a'hoppin'. 'Our findings indicate that people have had it with all of the excuses and apologies,' said Kyle Dwyer, spokesperson for the Akimbo Institute, which analyzes admonishment-related issues. 'In fact, the majority of respondents stated that the level to which they've had it is up to here.' Of the 2,400 subjects polled, 83 percent claimed that 'sorry' just doesn't do it anymore, and 79 percent of those agreed that no amount of begging, pleading, or apologizing is going to change that. The figure shows a dramatic rise from 1998, when 47 percent of poll respondents stated that sorry was a good enough response, if accompanied by a promise to try harder next time. 'In previous studies, we found that those who failed to measure up could often cut it by saying sorry,' Dwyer said. 'But today, the consensus seems to be, 'Stop faking it and start making it.'' Researchers polled a wide range of authority figures, including irate moms, fast-food restaurant managers, and high-school gym teachers. The resounding majority of participants refused to accept such excuses as 'I overslept,' 'I thought it was tomorrow,' and 'I just assumed.' 'Respondents had particularly strong reactions to that last excuse,' Dwyer said. 'A remarkable 78 percent said that one should not assume, because when you assume, it makes an ass of you and me.' Dwyer said there were a number of possible explanations for the failure of sorry to cut it. Chief among these is the fact that a growing number of authority figures were not born yesterday. 'These individuals have seen what sorry has done to improve situations,' Dwyer said. 'Jack squat.' Dwyer added: 'The consensus seems to be that actions speak louder than words, and that good intentions are the stones with which the road to hell is paved.' The respondents said the offenders must improve upon their past performances, or else. When pressed to expand upon 'or else,' respondents spoke of boom-lowering, music-facing, and other-shoe dropping. 'To avoid 'or else,' the misters, missies, and busters must demonstrate a higher commitment to discipline,' Dwyer said. 'Feet have been put down on this point.' The report revealed that the assorted apologies, excuses, and delay tactics have resulted in both lost productivity and lost income. 'More than 70 percent of the respondents told us that, if they had a dollar for every time they have heard the word 'sorry,' they would be rich,' Dwyer said. 'If you consider the fact that they have heard this word over the course of many years, you see that, indeed, the total number of dollars would be very large.' Authority figures applauded the findings. 'It's about time you folks woke up and smelled the coffee,' Spring Green, WI, packaging-plant manager Bert Seiffert said. ''Sorry' has never cut the mustard with me. That's what I said to that slacker Oppley when he came in five minutes late for the third time this week. I said, 'Sorry is a pretty sorry excuse, if you ask me,' and I docked him for an hour's pay. He said, 'Hey, Bert, that's not fair.' 'Hey is for horses,' I said.' One mister, who requested anonymity, condemned the study results. 'I am honestly trying to shape up, but still they want me to ship out,' the mister said. 'It isn't fair. It wasn't even my fault.' Veteran buster Wayne Koestler, 16, scoffed at the report. 'I gotta start cutting it 'or else'?' he said. 'Who's gonna make me?' 
1	Party attendee Richard Silvan's plan to branch out and meet people who would perhaps introduce him to a new hobby or cultural interest was derailed Saturday when the first person he spoke to happened to also be an avid viewer of the NBC football drama Friday Night Lights. 'We probably spent about three hours in the kitchen discussing how they resolved things with Matt and Julie and how the show's final season really did a god job of testing the Taylors' marriage,' said the 28-year-old paralegal, who, because he was in deep conversation about how he wished Smash Williams would have been brought back for at least one scene in the series finale, failed to meet a humanitarian aid worker who just returned from Africa and a documentary filmmaker. 'The guy I was speaking to even looked a little bit like me. It's too bad I never caught his name.' Witnesses reported that at one point Silvan briefly interrupted his conversation about how Tim Riggins might be one of the most tragic characters in television history when he mistakenly thought he overheard an attractive woman mention Battlestar Galactica. 
2	Jenny McCarthy Calls Hillary Clinton A Lesbian On Live TV [VIDEO] Actress and comedian Jenny McCarthy has recently come under fire after making some controversial comments on live TV. In a recent segment, McCarthy called Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton a lesbian. She then went on to criticize her husband, former President Bill Clinton, of continuing to have extra-marital affairs. Apparently, the sex scandal for these two didnt stop at Monica. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you support Jenny McCarthy? 
1	Sources confirmed Monday that area resident Kyle Nickerson apparently knows the actual names of all those guys in the UFC and that, to him, they don't all sort of run together. 'I know maybe four of those guys: Brock Lesnar, Kent Shamrock, Tito Ortiz, and the guy with the mohawkbut Kyle knows all of them, even the ones from that reality show,' Nickerson's friend Eric Heijl told reporters, adding that Nickerson is also able to name the moves those guys use. 'Sometimes two UFC guys will flash on the screen and Kyle will not only know their names, but know who they've fought in the past. Should I know who these people are? Is UFC such a big deal now that I should be able to identify a UFC fighter when I see one?' When reached for comment, Nickerson was reportedly watching a UFC match in which he not only knew the names of both competitors, but also what their records were. 
2	Last Night Fox News Debate Was Set Up To Kill Trump, This Is The Clear Evidence During the last Republican debate, Fox News made it abundantly clear that the so-called fair and balanced network had it out for Donald Trump. In fact, it seems they are doing everything they can to stand behind Marco Rubio. Chris Wallace, Bret Baier, and Megyn Kelly went after Donald Trump in almost every way imaginable, still trying to maintain a guise of neutrality. It was clear, however, that Trump was up against challenges that none of the other candidates faced. Trump had to answer questions about past video statements, and his rivals were repeatedly given the opportunity to attack him. A few times, Wallace and Kelly went after Trump directly, debating with him instead of sticking to their roles a moderators. This is unlike anything weve ever seen. Kelly even compared Trump to Berne Madoff, and used leaked rumors about an off-the-record interview with Trump to underline suspicions about inconsistency. What do you think? Are you tired of this clear bias in the media? 
2	Sadie Robertson Needs Your Prayers, You Wont Believe What Just Happened Sadie Robertson of Duck Dynasty has become a role model for teenage girls throughout the country. While other stars her age are busy promoting sexuality, Sadie has stuck to her Christian values and volunteer work. This week, Sadie called for her social media followers to storm the gates of heaven with prayers for a little girl named Katie Joyce. Katie is currently suffering from a brain tumor. This is Katie Joyce, Sadie wrote on her Instagram. Her family found out she has a brain tumor and its on her brain stem. The doctors say we need a miracle. The only thing that can fix this is if we storm the gates of heaven. I will pray for all of you as well. The post has already gone viral, receiving more than 150,000 likes. 
3	America is a Republic, Not a DemocracyRon Paul At these conventions, leaders determined, or pretended to determine, who they wished to govern the nation for the next four years amidst inevitable, endless exaltations of democracy. Yet we are not a democracy. In fact, the founding fathers found the concept of democracy very dangerous. Democracy is majority rule at the expense of the minority. Our system has certain democratic elements, but the founders never mentioned democracy in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, or the Declaration of Independence. In fact, our most important protections are decidedly undemocratic. For example, the First Amendment protects free speech. It doesnt or shouldnt matter if that speech is abhorrent to 51% or even 99% of the people. Speech is not subject to majority approval. Under our republican form of government, the individual, the smallest of minorities, is protected from the mob. Sadly, the constitution and its protections are respected less and less as we have quietly allowed our constitutional republic to devolve into a militarist, corporatist social democracy. Laws are broken, quietly changed and ignored when inconvenient to those in power, while others in positions to check and balance do nothing. The protections the founders put in place are more and more just an illusion. This demonstrates how there is now a great deal of unhindered flexibility in the Oval Office to impose personal views and preferences on the country, so long as 51% of the people can be convinced to vote a certain way. The other 49% on the other hand have much to be angry about and protest under this system. We should not tolerate the fact that we have become a nation ruled by men, their whims and the mood of the day, and not laws. It cannot be emphasized enough that we are a republic, not a democracy and, as such, we should insist that the framework of the Constitution be respected and boundaries set by law are not crossed by our leaders. These legal limitations on government assure that other men do not impose their will over the individual, rather, the individual is able to govern himself. When government is restrained, liberty thrives. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	A study released Wednesday by the American Hearing Research Foundation has found that humans sense of hearing is most acute when listening to an argument between ones parents from the top of a staircase. According to our research, human auditory acuity reaches its peak when subjects quietly sneak out of their bedrooms at night and either sit down on the top stair or press their faces between the balusters of the railing as their parents exchange heated words in the kitchen below, said study author Gordon Humphries, noting that these heightened auditory capabilities allow individuals to effortlessly block out all other sources of noise in order to clearly perceive the sound waves generated by ones mother saying, I just cant do this anymore. Under these circumstances, humans display a remarkable ability to distinguish even those arguments spoken in a hushed or whispered tone, particularly those containing the words divorce, separation, custody, or the subjects own name. Researchers said subjects auditory abilities may grow even more acute in the hours after overhearing the initial argument, with subjects reportedly capable of making out their father sobbing as softly as 10 decibels through a bedroom wall. 
2	Obama Was Just Caught Doing Something Sickening, This Is How He Breaks In The New Year Barack Obama is spending his last weeks as president on his annual, multi-million dollar vacation to Hawaii, funded by hardworking American taxpayers. While many Americans are just struggling to get by, Obama is living it up for 17 days and not sparing any expense. The Daily Caller reported that on Wednesday night, the Obama family dined at Nobuone of the most expensive restaurants in Honolulu. Meals at the famous Japanese restaurant net out to about $180 per person, so we can only imagine how much the Obamas decided to throw away there. The Secret Service also reportedly searched everyone who entered the restaurant, while snipers kept a close eye on the Obamas from a nearby rooftop. This was also an interesting choice for a meal given that Obama had spent the day visiting Pearl Harbor, the military base where over 2,400 Americans lost their lives in a Japanese attack in 1941. Obama visited the famous site with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to pardon Japan for the attack. What do you think? Are you ready for our hard-earned dollars to be out of the Obamas hands? 
3	Russia Ousts Meddling US NGOs, Fake Protests Peter OutTony Cartalucci, Contributor AFPs Year on, Russian opposition subdued but not defeated, and Washington Posts Thousands protest against Putin, but opposition momentum has slowed, despite unqualified attempts to embellish the size and strength of both the protest and the opposition in general, reflect the winding down of Western attempts to foment chaos across Russia. While the Washington Post cites Russian President Vladamir Putins co-opting of opposition issues, by actually addressing legitimate concerns regarding his government, there is also another dimension that is more muted. The Russian Battle Against Foreign Subversion. Reuters alludes to other possible explanations in their article, No Russian revolution after a year of protests, stating: Putin was elected to a six-year third term in March and the parliament, dominated by his party, has pushed through laws which critics say can be used to stifle dissent tightening controls of the Internet, imposing new checks on foreign-funded lobby groups and broadening the definition of treason. Indeed, Russia has placed immense restrictions on foreign-funded lobby groups and NGOs, demanding that they exhibit the same level of transparency and honesty that they themselves demand of the government. This is what Reuters categorically fails to mention that the entire so-called opposition is in fact foreign-funded, with at least one of Saturdays protest leaders, Boris Nemtsov, earlier this year being caught slinking into the US Embassy for a secret meeting with then newly appointed US Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul US Ambassador McFaul himself has chaired the US National Endowment for Democracy and Freedom House, both of which directly fund and support many amongst the Russian opposition. In other words Nemtsov in his early 2012 US Embassy appearance, was visiting his paymaster. Images: Caught red-handed Russias opposition, long accused by the Kremlin of being foreign-funded, and who have well documented ties to the US State Department, are caught filing into the US Embassy in Moscow in January of 2012, just days after agitator Michael McFaul began his stint as US Ambassador to Russia. Alexey Navalny, another leader present during Saturdays disappointing showing, was a Yale World Fellow, and in his profile it states: Navalny spearheads legal challenges on behalf of minority shareholders in large Russian companies, including Gazprom, Bank VTB, Sberbank, Rosneft, Transneft, and Surgutneftegaz, through the Union of Minority Shareholders. He has successfully forced companies to disclose more information to their shareholders and has sued individual managers at several major corporations for allegedly corrupt practices. Navalny is also co-founder of the Democratic Alternative [DA!] movement and was vice-chairman of the Moscow branch of the political party YABLOKO. In 2010, he launched RosPil, a public project funded by unprecedented fundraising in Russia. In 2011, Navalny started RosYama, which combats fraud in the road construction sector. The Democratic Alternative, also written DA!, is indeed a National Endowment for Democracy fund recipient, meaning that Alexey Navalny is an agent of US-funded sedition and willfully hiding it from his followers. The US State Department itself reveals this as they list youth movements operating in Russia: DA!: Mariya Gaydar, daughter of former Prime Minister Yegor Gaydar, leads DA! (Democratic Alternative). She is ardent in her promotion of democracy, but realistic about the obstacles she faces. Gaydar said that DA! is focused on non-partisan activities designed to raise political awareness. She has received funding from the National Endowment for Democracy, a fact she does not publicize for fear of appearing compromised by an American connection. Alexey was involved in founding a movement directly funded by the US government and to this day has the very people who funded DA! defending him throughout the Western media. The mention of co-founder Mariya Gaydar is also revealing, as she has long collaborated, and occasionally has been arrested with, Ilya Yashin, yet another leader of a NED-funded Russian activist opposition group. Photo: Alexei Navalny, Yale World Fellow and co-founder of US National Endowment for Democracy Da! or Democratic Alternative/Yes in Russian. It is yet another Otpor-esque organization courtesy of the United States government and willful traitors to their motherland. Ilya Yashin, who was detained before arriving at Saturdays protest, leads the Moscow branch of the Peoples Freedom Party and is a leading member of the Strategy 31 campaign, which claims to be fighting for the freedom of assembly. Unfortunately, Strategy 31s ranks are filled with activists trained and coordinated by US NED-funded NGOs. From the official NED.org website we find: Moscow Group of Assistance in the Implementation of the Helsinki Accords $50,000.To draw greater attention to the issue of freedom of assembly in Russia and to the Strategy 31 movement, which seeks to protect this fundamental right. The organization will train a network of regional activists and coordinate their activities through mini-seminars and field visits, and conduct an information campaign through press conferences, posters, and educational handouts pertaining to freedom of assembly, to be distributed to the general public by regional partners. This is also confirmed in NEDs Democracy Digest where the Moscow Helsinki Group is explicitly stated as leading Strategy 31 marches and that the group is a long-time grantee of the National Endowment of Democracy. Worst yet, Yashins Peoples Freedom Party is lined not with aspiring youth seeking freedom for the Russian people, but rather lined with career politicians and businessmen collaborating with foreign-interests. Among them is Vladimir Ryzhkov, a member of the NED-funded, Washington-based World Movement for Democracy. There is also Boris Nemtsov whose adviser, Vladimir Kara-Murza (of Solidarnost) recently took part in a September 14, 2011 NED-sponsored event titled, Elections in Russia: Polling and Perspectives where they used a NED-funded polling organization, the Levada Center, to project winners in upcoming elections and study the Manezh riots of 2010 for now obvious reasons as the US attempts to fan the flames of unrest across Russia. What gathered in Moscow on Saturday, December 15, 2012, was not a representation of the Russian peoples dissatisfaction with their government. It was the organized, funded, and promoted manifestation of Wall Street and Washingtons ambitions regarding the division and despoilment of the Russian nation as it was well along the way of accomplishing in the 90s after the collapse of the Soviet Union during the age of oligarchs. Like the West is attempting to do around the world, from Egypt to Tunisia, from Libya to Syria, and across Asia, it is couching hegemonic expansion within the cause of democracy and freedom, diminishing both as it exploits the well-meaning intentions of millions around the world. The closing of the US NGO cash spigot in Russia and the subsequent petering out of the so-called opposition is not a coincidence it is yet another exhibit of Western duplicity and its abuse of both the masses, and the better lives they seek.

1	With three rounds and the championship game remaining in the 2009 NCAA men's basketball tournament, documents believing to be the script for the season finale have been leaked to several websites, including The Smoking Gun, Ain't It Cool News, and Deadspin. 'The NCAA has no comment on the authenticity or version-status of anything you may have seen,' a press release issued by the tournament committee and signed by the tournament's writers and producers read in part. 'We ask fans across the country to ignore anything they hear concerning basketball's final episodes and invite them to tune in no matter what they may have heard. What they see will still surprise them.' Reactions to the script were diverse but emphatic, with sizable numbers of fans strongly protesting the shocking death of UNC, the logic-defying return of Wisconsin, and the revelation that Xavier has been an angel team since the first round. 
3	The Age of Victimhood: A Paradigm On Its Way OutBy Rosanne Lindsay The game is designed withina holographic matrix of which electromagnetic frequencies are the building blocks. Game mastersneglect to tell us that aselectro-magnetic beings, we create the game just by being us. No laws or instructions are necessary to create, only imagination. I-magi-nation. Magic. We are a nation of magis. We manifest through manipulation of electromagnetic energy through emotion andintention. Energy flows where attention goes. Within the hologram is a duality reality. The game mastersdivide us into groups of opposing sides to distract us from who we really are. They line us up on a grid: right vs. left, blue vs. red, good vs. evil, pawn vs. knight, with the express purpose of harvesting our energy(emotions). In our squares, we are complacent, but prone to in-fighting. Through our consent to the rules, we stay within the lines, because theauthorities (politicians, priests, professors, doctors, lawyers, presidents) tell us they arehere toprotect us from ourselves. Note the word author in authority. By consent, or silent acquiescence, we put down our pens to allow others to write our stories and be responsible for us. The victim stance is a powerful one. The victim is always morally right, neither responsible or accountable and forever entitled to sympathy. DA Southern, author In the game of Freedom, the game masters tell the players that they are granted more freedoms than other nations, and more rights than other people. The masters omit the fact thatinherent rights can never be granted or deniedby another. Rights that are granted are really privileges that can be taken away the opposite of freedom. As game authors, however, itis their self-imposed right to deceive. But the game is starting to short-circuit. The parts that no longer function are falling apart. The edges of reality are blurring and distorting asmore players arestepping outside the lines.The Master-Player relationship: Three Examples. 1. The Dakota Sioux Red Rock Camp Water Protectors stand against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (i.e. White Man): After centuries of persecution, death, and destruction of their culture and environment, the Indigenous people now face arrest for protecting water with their bodies. Local police, includingthe National Guard, arrest peaceful protectors and barricade the main road to allow the pipeline to go through while major oil pipeline breaches around the country create states of emergencies. Other indigenous nations are joining in to create a united front. 2.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) gives itself new draconian powers under proposed rulemaking through the guise of The Public Health Service Act to mandate vaccinations (which have never been proven safe or effective) for all, and restrict freedom of any person entering the U.S. or traveling between States if they believe the person is infected or could become infected with certain kinds of communicable diseases. However, people are declaring that the CDC is an not agency with rulemaking powers. It cannot draw up new laws at whim without the consent of the people who are marching in unity against mandates. 3. A more centralized world government is moving to centralize Pubic Health through Codex Alimentarius Food Code established by the World Health Organization and the Food and Agricultural Organization to implement supplement restrictions which have reached the US in the new FDA Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA),This Act criminalizes natural plants, herbs, vitamins, and minerals. Aconite, chapperall, comfrey, kava, and lobelia, among others, are all on the blacklist. Native Americans have used chaparral for centuries as an anticancer remedy. In fact, it is the cornerstone of most anticancer herbal formulas. It is a blood purifier. It kills pathogens. In response, people are growing their own herbs and seeking out holistic options. With open eyes, we cannot un-see the reality of a well-built trap that we have created. Imagine being unbounded, and opportunity will exist at every turn. Set up limitations and they will be found. Therefore, there can be parallel realities simultaneously and we can choose the one we want to attract. As long as we focus onthe status quo, the Master-Player dynamic persists. To be grouped together cancels individual identity. To restrict and homogenize a culture creates a sedate race with a broken self-imagethat is more malleable and easier to control. When we no longer align with selfhood, or with our divine feminine and divine masculine, we disempower. We lose freedom. Everyone is a victim at some point in their life, and there is no doubt that terrible things may have happened to you that were unfair. But seeing yourself as a victim is being focused on the past. Instead, look forward to who you can be today, master of your own destiny. Alex Blackwell, author How to Play the Masters The answer lies within. As creator beings, players can decode their own frequencies. This happens when we listen to the body, which heals itself. The body shows us that we are no more victims of our genes than we are victims of our government. The body frees itself from dis-ease, not by fighting the old, dying, obsolete cells, but by creating new cells while targeting the oldcells for removal. The natural state of the body is the vibration of health when the body is in balance. For us to live in balance, we must embody balance. We must merge our dual aspects, shadow and light, have and have-not, feminine and masculine and connect as individuals, first. As creators, we fuel ourselves from power within, connected to a universal power source. We are individual expressions of a greater Source, all connected. Therefore, if we can write reality, we can also right reality. We only need tochange the game. In a dual reality, we can choose differentlabels to become the Masters.That is how the holographic program functions. Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedomsto choose ones attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose ones own way. Viktor Frankl First,we embody individual freedom, then we gather the nations. When we come together in peace, the energy of empowerment ripples out to affect those around us until the reality of freedom takes shape. The New Paradigm of Peace The Indigenous youth today recognize that victimhood continues to dominate through division, battle, killing, pillaging, resentment, and anger still witnessed as infighting between elders. The youth choose to use the language differently (Protectors vs. Protestors). They overcome past violence and injustice through forgiveness. They recognize that the battle is within and that forgiveness starts with each of us. They focus on a united humanity versus separate tribes. They start with themselves. The United Native Movement is a powerful image. The Native youth build community with the power of love, peace and prayer, putting their bodies on the line to protect our deep connection to the planet and the water, sacred to all living beings. They say, Government and corporations do not know how to fight the powerful energy of love for Mother Earth and prayers of thousands and thousands of people not just here at Standing Rock but all over the world. Prayer is not always religious. It is connection. It is vibration through song, chanting, dancing. We are no longer victimswhen we know that our power comes from within, from merging two sides of our own story, dark and light. We are no longer victims when we accept that victimhood canbe transformed in the heart. Knowing we are conscious creators, we can come together and create a new reality simply by choosing it and playing the part. As within so without.

2	BREAKING: ISIS Planning Next 9/11 Attack, Aim To Hit Passenger Jets According to recent reports, counter-terror chiefs are fearful that Abu Bakr al-Bghdadi, the leader of the ISIS jihadists, is planning to blow up airliners. Experts believe that the leader is planning to mimic the attacks on 9/11. A Jordanian airline is the most likely target, and security officers fear that al-Baghdadi has started planning the attack. ISIS is keen to expand beyond Iraq and Syria. Its no secret the next target will be Jordan, one expert claimed. If that happens, it will gain the attention of Western governments. Al-Baghdadi has renamed his organization the Islamic State and announced that he intends to create a new Caliphate, or an Islamic empire spanning across several countries. To arms, to arms, soldiers of the Islamics, fight, fight, al-Baghdadi was recorded ranting. He also appealed for Muslims to join in on the holy war. What do you think? Does ISIS need to be stopped immediately? 
2	Muslim Man Spinning Gun Shoots Himself [VIDEO] At a time where were seeing senseless violence at the hands of extremists, moments like this offer a certain sense of relief that karma really does exist. A video from last year has resurfaced and is gaining traction once again as Americans look for justice. In the footage, a Muslim man makes an impulse decision to pull off on the side of the road and put on a show for the camera he set up. However, in the middle of his elaborate gun-twirling routine, something goes very wrong. When the man drops the rifle, which as it turns out was loaded, he ends up shooting himself right in the gut. That is more of a talent than any spinning he was hoping to doshooting yourself in the stomach with a long rifle isnt an easy thing to accomplish. The source of the video is still unconfirmed, so its authenticity has not been verified. But it does offer a sense of relief, nonetheless. 
2	Obama Releases Osama Bin Ladens Spiritual Adviser From Guantanamo Bay For THIS Sickening Reason Obama has continued his insane attempts to close Guantanamo Bay, and this time he has gotten himself one step closer. Obama released alleged recruiter for al-Quaida, Faez Mohammed Ahmed al-Kandari, who had served 14 years in Gitmo. Al-Kandaris profile said that he was probably the spiritual adviser of Osama bin Laden. The United States is grateful to the government of the State of Kuwait for its willingness to support ongoing U.S. efforts to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, the Pentagon said. Mr. al-Kandari is delighted to be going home and reuniting with his beloved parents and family after all these years away. I bet he is. But why does a terrorist deserve such delight? Should Obama be stopped before he releases the remaining 104 detainees from Gitmo? 
3	7 Examples of Demonizing Dissent and Public OpinionBy Paul A. Philips To countermeasure this much-needed dissent and public opinion to raise awareness and free humanity, the powers that be have taken a severe stance on punishing those who have opposing views regardless of truth or untruth to advance an oppressive agenda. So, in response, during these times of universal deceit and oppression, here are 7 examples of unjustly demonizing dissent and public opinion. To get an even larger slice of the medical monopoly the highly influential AMA (American Medical Association), a wing of the medical/pharmaceutical establishment, has announced plans to put in gag orders designed to control and prevent doctors from speaking out publicly on dubious alternative medical practices. Should doctors go outside of the AMAs guidelines, they could face having their licenses revoked while being unjustly accused of quackery This unfairly biased stance will even further hit holistic doctors offering help and advice on track-record proven effective alternative medical practices. What has the US come to? People, are you going to allow this suppression of free speech? History has shown us time after time that medical advancements resulting in humanitarian contribution have come from challenging medical orthodoxy. At a recent talk in Austin, Texas for the yearly South by Southwest Festival (SXSW) Al Gore, former vice-president, made a number of pseudo-scientific statements provably wrong about climate change with all its data manipulation in support of this monumental hoax. Gore described climate change as settled science but nothing could be further from the truth. Climate change is far from settled No doubt the audience was filled with supporters of the church of climatology who I doubt would be able to answer these questions challenging climate change. The powers that be want you to believe in climate change because its part of their hidden agenda for power, profit and political gain. Their modus operandi is to punish those who disagree, regardless of the facts contradicting climate change. As more and more people realize theyve been had when it comes to climate change the powers that be resort to extreme countermeasures: In the talk, Gore told his audience to ramp up their angst againstclimate changedeniers, Some, in support of this extremist left-wing agenda have made films which includes calling global warming critics loathsome and villainous. The idea that someone should be punished for differences of opinion is the ultimate tyrannical approach. But what do you expect from a bunch of hysterical authoritarians pushing an agenda based on false pretexts who fear having their lies exposed? Another case of demonizing dissent or opinion exists through clamping down on anti-war activists. In the UK, the indefinable terms non-violent extremist or domestic extremist could be used to stigmatize or even criminalize individuals as part of a newly developed aggressive anti-terrorist de-radicalization program called PREVENT which could be used to target anti-war activists. Through country-wide legislation, PREVENT has made it the statutory duty for educational establishments, local authorities, NHS trust, police and prisons services to provide ongoing information on those deemed as suspects drawn into terrorism. Besides unjustly stigmatizing or even making criminals out of entire Muslim communities, PREVENT has been described as flawed with vague definitions while threatening to erode civil liberties. For instance, officials representing the Child Protection Agency, from a number of signs listing identifiable behavioral characteristics have warned parents that their children may be at risk of being radicalized, which has been met with much criticism. As a response a number of organizations such as Together Against Prevent have united to campaign against this program. Democracys long-term mortal decline is exemplified by silencing political dissenters on a scale more reminiscent than ever of a dictatorship. The alternative media has reported many cases where peaceful protesters have been met with extreme pettiness, violence and overreaction from authorities. Take, for example, the recent case of a woman who was apprehended then convicted and fined under the public order act for shouting out Cameron has blood on his hands as he switched on the Christmas lights at her home town. At the time the woman was protesting over disability benefit cuts. Then there are the authorities agent provocateurs deployed to create unscrupulous violent reactions leading to unjustified arrests and bad reputation, deliberately manufactured to unfairly justify the clampdown on peaceful protesters. Political correctness has little to do with protecting minority people or groups from being offended. Its really about shutting people up, not granting them the right to justly criticize anything while accusing them of something should they talk out. In these truly dark times universal deceit and propaganda affects us all. Political reality has been bought and sold as a mass-media package made to manipulate the masses and their general consensus reality with all the needed clichs and falsehoods. Through artful mass-media censorship the powers that be have created the perfect illusion to gain approval from the masses on the actions they take, allowing them to slyly advance their hidden enslavement agenda. In true Bernaysian fashion the masses have been programmed and brainwashed through mass media propaganda. Controlled by a small number of elite individuals the masses will never see known as the invisible government. Thus, we have an illusory enemy, illusory war, illusory retribution, illusory diversion and distraction; the illegitimate has been made legitimate Against the backdrop of insidious forever-accelerating modern fascism I doff my cap to those courageous whistleblowers. The masses not only need to understand the secrets that the powers that be havebeen harboring, asrevealedby whistleblowers like Julian Assange and Edward Snowden, but should also understand how they fit into the modern-day context. That way the awakened masses, having connected the dots, can then spread the word on whats really happening in the world to others. Raising awareness, peaceful activism and becoming conscious is the key to world change. The fact that mandatory vaccinations such as SB 271are being forced on people regardless of their circumstance; by authorities not giving any consideration to the threat of potential injury for some from vaccine toxicity, that its based on pseudoscience, ignoring religious objection, or discarding the alternative opinion that immunity is better handled from a naturopathic point of view should be enough to send a red flag warning I have written extensively on why vaccinations should be avoided at all costs (seeSB 271). All in all As consistent with the above quote from Orwells novel 1984, dissent and public opinion has never been so needed to bring back sanity into an insane world by exposing the lies and ulterior motives of the powers that be. Those in positions of authority involved in demonizing dissension or opinion need to understand that theyve been deceived and are being played like others as pawns in a very big game. You can read more from Paul A. Philips at his site NewParadigm.ws You can see PC run amok on may websites including this one as well. Censors (like Savoire-Faire) are everywhere:) I appreciate the list but I must tell you that your concern for the Muslim community is misplaced. Islam and the Western are wholly incompatible. You will be surprised in a bad way. Unfortunate but true. The statement that vaccinations should be avoided at all costs is absurd. Homeoprophylaxis application of vaccines is certainly an avenue that should be seriously looked into. Im not sure exactly what you mean by, therapeutic with regards to vaccines. I believe the author is addressing highly toxic traditional vaccines. I would call those non therapeutic vaccines by every measure. Allopaths and homeopaths are controlled by the same people. Dont know how many people know what J.A.D.E. H.E.L.M. stands for. According to Department of State publication #7277 September 1961 J.A.D.E. = Joint Assistant for Development and Execution. H.E.L.M. = Homeland Eradication of Local Militants. Isnt that a bunch of rotten apples. all good points sharia and islams anti female stance ok for hubby to beat up or blame all is misfortune on her and coverup from head to toe whilst hubby runs around in shorts and sandles is ridiculous. So the whole sharia is a strict form of enslavement and suppression of 50% of their own folks. Dont forget counseling of men with unwanted same-sex attraction And this is the short list. How ironic that a article such as this and a picture of someone with their mouth taped shut with the word freedom should appear on selfnews Post. It is very ironic considering the fact that selfnews Post blatantly engages in the act of censoring free speech and goes out of its way to ensure all voices are not heard. selfnews Post even deletes comments that are deemed to be politically incorrect. Dont let them fool you. Those who are behind this site certainly do not stand for truth and freedom. They serve the new world order and the powers that be. 1. Oh noes, medicine is regulated! You cant literally say whatever you want claim youre a legitimate doctor! The horror! 2. Al Gore SAID that theres no global warming controversy in the scientific community? What a grievous attack on freedom of speech that he used his freedom of speech to SAY something completely true! Never heard of the acts in 3 or 4. 5. Just saying political correctness is not an example of anything. 6. Nor is just saying whistleblower suppression. 7. Vaccines, because were still sore about medical science not being driven by opinions! It is allopathic medicine that regulates us. We are not allowed real cures or real therapy. You just pointed to three highly regulated areas that are completely controlled by allopathic medicine. 
2	BREAKING: 8 Dead, 44 Injured In Texas... Heres What Happened According to recent reports, eight people died and 44 more were injured after a charter bus rolled over on a south Texas highway this week. The crash took place on northbound Highway 83 in Webb County, near the border with Mexico. DPS Trooper Conrad Hein states that the crash occurred at 11:26 a.m. Seven people were pronounced dead on the scene, and an eighth died at the hospital. Forty-four others received hospital care in Laredo and Dimmit County. The driver of the bus lost control and rolled over, Hein commented. The driver was among those injured, though his name and the names of the passengers have not been released. Hein claims that authorities are still looking into the cause of the crash. The National Transportation Safety Board is sending a team to investigate the crash, which is expected to arrive today. I extend my heartfelt condolences to the loved ones of the individuals who lost their lives and those who were injured in this tragic accident, Webb County Sheriff Martin Cuellar said in a statement. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has also expressed his condolences to the families of those killed and injured. Cecilia and I extend our deepest condolences to those affected by the tragic accident in South Texas today, Abbott commented. I ask the entire State of Texas to keep the families of loved ones lost today, as well as the Dimmit County community, in its thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Will you pray for those affected? 
3	World Bank Warns of Financial Turbulence if US Fed Raises RatesBy Eric Blair The BBC summarizes: The World Bank has warned developing countries to brace themselves for possible financial turbulence when the US Federal Reserve starts to raise interest rates. It could come as early as Thursday when the Fed concludes a policy meeting. A new report from the World Bank says there will probably be a modest impact on developing countries. But it also warns there is some risk that it could be worse. The Bank says it is possible that there would be sufficient disruption to capital flows into developing countries to harm economic growth and financial stability. Perfect storm US interest rates have been practically zero for more than six years and as the economy continues to recover, the Fed is sure to raise interest rates at some stage. The prospect has been a major concern for financial markets all year. Developing countries are bound to be affected when it happens and the first step might be imminent. The report concludes that the developing world should be hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. The hope is based on an expected slow increase in interest rates and the strength of the US economy (as indicated by rising rates). At this time, the US economy doesnt appear strong enough to warrant a rate hike after the Feds policy meeting. Yet it seems inevitable that they will try to raise rates at some point even if only to test the outcome. The good news is that people in these nations and around the world will likely have a little more time to prepare for the disruption that the World Bankexpects. Eric Blair writes for selfnewsPost.com It will be a debt crisis. if you mean Saria law your a Dunb ass.guess you want the One World Order. hope it works out for you. a real American will most likely shoot you! real American will most likely shoot you!? 
3	Say It Isnt So About VaccinesCatherine J. Frompovich, Contributor Those conclusions came out of a report generated by the University of Minnesotas Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy analyzing data from 1967 to 2012 that was based upon the review of the prestigious Cochrane Library studies. In 2011 this author co-edited the monograph Vaccines Vaccinations: The Need for Congressional Investigation wherein we cited the Cochrane Librarys work regarding influenza vaccines effectiveness in children, adults, and the elderly. The Cochrane Library published the article Vaccines for preventing influenza in healthy children January 25, 2006 wherein the authors conclusion in the Abstract stated: Influenza vaccines are efficacious in children older than two but little evidence is available for children under two. There was a marked difference between vaccine efficacy and effectiveness. No safety comparisons could be carried out, emphasizing the need for standardization of methods and presentation of vaccine safety data in future studies. If immunisation [sic] in children is to be recommended as a public health policy, large-scale studies assessing important outcomes and directly comparing vaccine types are urgently required. [2] Influenza vaccines have a modest effect in reducing influenza symptoms and working days lost. There is no evidence that they affect complications, such as pneumonia, or transmission. This review includes 15 out of 36 trials funded by industry (four had no funding declaration). An earlier systematic review of 274 influenza vaccine studies published up to 2007 found industry funded studies were published in more prestigious journals and cited more than other studies independently from methodological quality and size. Studies funded from public sources were significantly less likely to report conclusions favorable to vaccines. The review showed that reliable evidence on influenza vaccines is thin but there is evidence of widespread manipulation of conclusions and spurious notoriety of the studies. The content and conclusions of this review should be interpreted in light of this finding. [3] And in the elderly, Cochrane published in Issue 2 (2010) the article Vaccines for preventing influenza in the elderly with the following conclusion: The available evidence is of poor quality and provides no guidance regarding the safety, efficacy or effectiveness of influenza vaccines for people aged 65 years or older. To resolve the uncertainty, an adequately powered publicly-funded randomised [sic], placebo-controlled trial run over several seasons should be undertaken. A plain language summary of the above, Vaccines for preventing seasonal influenza and its complications in people aged 65 or older is: Influenza vaccination of elderly individuals is recommended worldwide as people aged 65 and older are at a higher risk of complications, hospitalizations and deaths from influenza. This review looked at evidence from experimental and non-experimental studies carried out over 40 years of influenza vaccination. We included 75 studies. These were grouped first according to study design and then the setting (community or long-term care facilities). The results are mostly based on non-experimental (observational) studies, which are at greater risk of bias, as not many good quality trials were available. Trivalent inactivated vaccines are the most commonly used influenza vaccines. Due to the poor quality of the available evidence, any conclusions regarding the effects of influenza vaccines for people aged 65 years or older cannot be drawn. The public health safety profile of the vaccines appears to be acceptable. [4] It seems according to the BMJ article that, consistent high-level protection is elusive, including that there is evidence for protection in adults 65 years of age or older [who represent over 90% of deaths from flu]is lacking. Which reminds this author of an email she received recently from a person in Ohio saying that, that persons friend worked in a rest home where the elderly were given flu shots, which often led to their getting very sick and dying. My question is this: What role did the flu shot play in either their contracting the flu or in their deaths? Personally, this author can attest that the only time she ever contracted the flu was in 1957 after she was taken by folks where she worked, who paid for the shot. I contracted the flu not once, but twice; almost died; the doctor came to the house every day; my mother slept with me at night; and I missed almost a month at work! The MD told me never to get another flu shot, as it probably would do me in. I have listened to his advice, and to this day, have had no annual flu vaccinations and never had a bout of influenza. Go figure! However, I have maintained an extremely healthful lifestyle (Mediterranean diet with no: junk food, smoking, alcohol, or sodas) and took vitamin A religiously, which promotes the anti-viral messenger, Interferon, produced by macrophages of the innate immune system. Furthermore, when I was in practice as a natural nutritionist, my clients always would call at the first sign of the sniffles and ask what to do. My nutritional advice was to take three (3) 10,000 IUs of vitamin A (retinol/retinal) with the juice of half a lemon in 4 ounces of water, each day for three days in a row. Always, and without fail, clients would ask, What kind of magic is that? Its really not magic; its knowing how human immunology works and supplementing it as Nature likes and cooperates with. Vaccines and vaccinations play around withand apparently interfere withNatures intended immunology playbook called innate immunity. Vaccines reprogram human biology to produce antigen-specific responses, which last for only a short while, if at all, therefore the need for all the mandated booster shots with neurotoxins and other hazardous chemicals. That probably is the apparent reason why infectious diseases today are being contracted by those (children, in particular) who have been fully vaccinated. They have not acquired life-long immunity either from their mothers at birth and during lactation, since young mothers may not be able to convey innate immunity themselves because theirs was interrupted by vaccine mandates as kids. The other way to get life-long immunity is by contracting the disease, which generations have done over the ages without Big Pharmas money-making vaccines being around, while humans still lived and reproduced. However, U.S. children apparently are sicker [5] than ever with chronic diseases at even earlier ages than ever, or experience adverse events to vaccines as verified by CDC/FDAs Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) [6] or on an international basis, vaccine damage that recently happened in the African country of Chad http://vactruth.com/2013/01/13/children-paralyzed-by-vaccine/ , which apparently is being kept out of U.S. news reports. Go figure!

1	A table of people enjoying a friendly conversation plunged diner John Richards into a deep, bitter resentment Monday that he was completely unable to rationalize. 'I can't explain it, but just seeing them there smiling and talking makes me want to kill them all,' said Richards, adding that he does not normally think of himself as an absolutely miserable piece of shit. 'There's no reason for this. All they're doing is having a nice meal andoh, you fucking assholes, stop laughing before I stab you in the face. See, there I go again.' After changing seats, Richards admitted that the couple sitting across from him staring silently into each other's eyes made him realize that true love is possible between two extremely obnoxious and sickening little pricks. 
2	Video Revealed Showing Obama Marching With Black Panthers In 2007 As we all know, tension over the cases of Michael Brown has escalated, thanks to the help of President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, and Al Sharpton. According to recent reports, members of the New Black Panther Party have planned to assassinate Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson, as well as prosecutor Bob McCulloch. The plans come in the wake of the grand jury decision not to convict former police officer Darren Wilson. Fortunately, the pair of plotters were arrested and taken into custody for providing false information while buying guns at Cabelas in Missouri. Federal prosecutors claim Brandon Orlando Baldwin and Olajuwon Ali Davis have since been arrested on charges of aiding and abetting as well as making a false written statement in connection with a firearms purchase. What do you think? Will the two members of the New Black Panther group be punished how they should be? It appears that so far the Justice department has limited the prosecution of the pair. And new reports indicate that before he was President, Senator Barack Obama marched with the organization in Alabama. Seems that the decision makers here might be biased, doesnt it? 
3	Rand Pauls Sellout to Mitt Romney ExplainedAdam Kokesh 
1	Insult compounded romantic injury Saturday when local boyfriend Charles Pond not only broke up with Karen Brunhoff, the woman he has dated since last spring, but reportedly had the nerve to dump her on the couples 15-week anniversary. 'I just can't believe he would do this to me on our 15th,' said Brunhoff, confirming she was stunned by Ponds utter lack of sensitivity. 'Today of all days? Weve been together week after week, we make it to the 15 mark, and now he does it? I should have known something was up when our 14th came and went without so much as a card or flowers.' Reached for comment, Pond told reporters he had already been patient enough in delaying the breakup until after the couples 100-day anniversary. 
3	Fake News Alert: CNN Finally Admits White Helmets Staged Fake VideoBy Tony Cartalucci Yet on November 25, they published an article titled, Syrias White Helmets apologize for Mannequin Challenge video, in which they admit: Its a familiar scene: Syria Civil Defence, also known as the White Helmets, rushing to rescue a man covered in rubble, but unlike thousands of other videos from Aleppo, this one is staged. CNN would continue by claiming: The nearly one-minute long video has been the subject of criticism on social media. On Wednesday Syria Civil Defence released a statement calling it an error of judgment. This video and the related posts were recorded by RFS media with Syria Civil Defence volunteers, who hoped to create a connection between the horror of Syria and the outside world using the viral Mannequin challenge. This was an error of judgment, and we apologize on behalf of the volunteers involved, the statement read. Ignored by both the White Helmets' and RFS as well as CNNs explanation of the video is the fact that the now admittedly staged video besides the mannequin challenge style is virtually indistinguishable from the thousands of other videos from Aleppo cited by CNN. Just likethousands of other videos from Aleppocited by CNN, the victim being rescued by the White Helmets is covered in dust and what appears to be blood, but otherwise uninjured. Unlike in a real bombing, those rescued by the White Helmet have their limbs intact, no deep, visible wounds, and lack any of the burns or trauma associated with weaponry used in modern combat. It is unlikely that out of thethousands of other videos from Aleppocited by CNN, none of them would feature actual trauma, and instead feature only the dust and fake blood covered victims as seen in the recent, admittedly staged video, as well as during recently staged protests in Europe. Of course, the alternative media has been exposing the White Helmets for years as perhaps one of the largest, most complex war propaganda operations conceived thus far by Western powers in their bid to sway public opinion amid regime change efforts in Syria. Image: RSFs apology lacks conviction, but is full of excuses and blame. When the recent mannequin challenge video was uploaded, it was the alternative media that caught it, reported on it, and brought viral attention to it. It was the alternative media that exposed the fact that a supposed rescue organization was staging fake videos for war propaganda value in possible violation of the Geneva Conventions, and certainly in violation of basic ethical concerns. It was only after the alternative media raised these concerns and cornered RFS and the White Helmets that establishment media platforms like CNN finally reacted to a story it likely would have otherwise ignored. It is no wonder, then, why establishment media platforms like CNN, the Washington Post, and others are so passionately opposed to the alternative media they are no longer setting the agenda, and are instead forced to react. Real journalism equates to reporting and honestly analyzing world events rather than contriving and spinning them for CNN and others, they no longer possess the freedom to do the latter without consequence. For the alternative media, successes like this, and the fact that establishment Western media has all but declared war on the alternative media should highlight the value of honest journalism and analysis. It should also be a constant reminder that fact-driven media will always win out over agenda-driven media. For the alternative media to continue to grow and be successful, it must reaffirm its dedication to fact-driven media no matter how tempting it is to do otherwise. Tony Cartaluccis articles have appeared on many alternative media websites, including his own at Land Destroyer Report, Alternative Thai News Network and LocalOrg. Unlike thousands of other videos in Aleppo my foot. We have not forgotten the Allepo Boy or Dust Boy staged hoax video by the White Helmets. Its what they do stage hoaxes to feed to Western MSM fake news sites. The Democratic Party now keeps complaining about the so called fake news on Facebook etc but never actually sites an example of a single news item that they say is fake. Are the news articles about the many lies of Hillary or the news that the FBI stated that she deleted over 30,000 emails after beging told she was to turn her emails over to congress a fake news item, or that over 500 paid thugs were sent to disrupt a Trump speech? They blame Russia for the news items for they claim the Russians hacked their emails. Who cares who hacked their emails if what was disclosed is true. They were caught and those emails are not fake news. I would like to hear exactly which news items were fake. How about admitting which news was true? The White Helmets are NOT the Syrian Civil Defence , the only thing they have to do with the real Syrian Civil Defence organisation is that they stole their equipment and got some of them killed. I love Mr. Cartaluccis writings and have been following his hugely insightful posting at his Land Destroyer sight for quite sometime. My favorite is the picture of a group photo of eight or so White Helmet personnel which captures the images of two of the El Zinki rats who took a sick Syrian boy from his hospital bed, accused him of spying, and then cut off his head with a knife while still alive. His real crime was that his father was fighting with the pro government Palestinian militia. But try and find it on lineI did and couldnt. Typical of the swamp. Pay a guy a few bucks and he will perform the kabuki theater. 
2	Killer Bug Spreading Across America, Doctors Calling It The New Aids [SEE SYMPTOMS] According to recent reports, a deadly bug originating in Latin America has made its way to the U.S., and it has already infected 17 people in Houston, Texas. The reduviid bug, known as the kissing bug typically just attacks the face, but can also spread a deadly disease. If one is infected, they will experience fever, fatigue, body aches, rash, diarrhea and vomiting. Once these symptoms fade, those infected will experience very few signs of the disease. The trouble doesnt end there, however. The bug carries a parasite called Trypanosoma cruzi, which can 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, Nolan Garcia, an epidemiologist reports. We think of Chagas disease as a silent killer. The parasite has reportedly infected 7 to 8 million people worldwide, although experts suspect there are many cases that still remain undiagnosed. Make sure to spread this information to your friends and family, so they can be on the lookup for the deadly bug.

1	Apologizing for any misunderstanding, Holly Springs councilman Knox Jeffries explained Monday that he 'merely misspoke' when he called African-American councilman Isaac Witherspoon 'a dumb, spear-chucking porch monkey' during a Mar. 10 meeting. 'I can see how my remarks could have been misconstrued as offensive, but I can assure you they were not intended as such,' Jeffries said. 'I am sorry for any hurt I may have inadvertently caused Ike, a fine, law-abiding Negro.' Jeffries then extended an olive branch to Witherspoon, inviting him and his wife to his home for 'a whole mess of collard greens and cornbread.' 
3	Despite Global Economy Plummeting into Despair, Mega Banks Boast All-Time Record ProfitsBy Justin Gardner The U.S. banking industry earned net income of $163.63 billion in 2015, the highest net income of any year in the SNL bank regulatory database, which dates back to 1991 The largest four banks, JPMorgan Chase Bank NA, Bank of America NA, Wells Fargo Bank NA and Citibank NA together earned 42.7% of the industrys income in 2015. This bonanza stands in stark contrast to the plight of the middle class, whose wages have stagnated while health insurance costs reach crippling proportions. Wealth inequality in the U.S. has greatly expandeda trend that defines countries with Quantitative Easing (QE) programs. The QE scheme cooked up by the Federal Reserve and Wall St. banks is designed to benefit the wealthiest, as Jon Hartley pointed out in Forbes last June: Kevin Warsh, a former Fed board member and one of the Brookings panelists, held a different view explaining that quantitative easing as a policy works purely through an asset price channel enriching the few who own stocks or other financial products (and not the 96% of Americans who receive the majority of their income through labor). This mechanism is radically unlike conventional monetary policy of central bank interest rate cuts which work through a credit channel benefiting the countrys mortgage borrowers, who make up majority of the population. It wasnt enough that the federal government borrowed trillions off the backs of citizens to bail out the very banks that caused the Great Recession. The same cabal of rich and powerfulour modern version of royaltythen used that event to siphon even more wealth from the middle class under a new game called QE. Jobs, wages, and the GDP took a back seat to the too big to fail Wall St. banks, because they couldnt trust the plebes with all that money for fear of inflation. As a result, the various schemes these banks engaged in with the free moneyincluding mortgage-backed securities, company mergers, company debt offerings, stock buybacksdid nothing but secure that wealth for the 1%. The record profits of the banking industry in 2015 make it seem almost comical that Morgan Stanley will pay $3.2 billion to get out of trouble for its part in causing the recession. In the deal, the investment bank acknowledges that it misrepresented the risks of mortgage-backed securities leading up to the 2008 housing and financial crisis. Morgan Stanley knew that it was selling securities backed by residential mortgages with material defects such as loans that were underwater, where the loan was larger than the value of the house. In the U.S., banks can just give the government moneywhich it got thanks to Quantitative Easingto avoid being treated as a criminal. In Iceland, they actually jail bankers who helped cause the recession. As the QE scheme has run its course, it appears that central banks may have lost control, but not before securing that immense transfer of wealth to the upper echelon. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com good to know my taxes are again wasted. Share the wealth seems to be one sided.

1	According to witnesses, former New York City mayor and one-time favorite for the Republican presidential nomination Rudolph Giuliani was seen slumped over and asleep on the Coney Island-bound F train late Tuesday night, as well as on the return Queens-bound F train early Wednesday morning. Giuliani does not notice onlookers. Giuliani, once a beloved New York figure who earned the nickname 'America's Mayor,' was wearing a faded New York Yankees jacket and a dirty FDNY cap pulled down over his eyes. 'Everyone was sitting on the opposite side of the train because there was a real bad smell coming from his side,' said passenger Melissa Humber, who witnessed Giuliani lying across three seats and using a rolled-up New York Post as a pillow. 'He seemed to jolt awake when a homeless guy started ranting about 9/11, but then he just sighed and went back to sleep.' Giuliani was last spotted shaving in a New York Public Library bathroom. 
1	CALCUTTA, INDIAFailure to own or use a bride extinguisher results in millions of rupees of property damage in India annually, Calcutta fire marshal Prasad Chandra said in a press conference Monday. 'This tragedy occurs far too often when well-meaning husbands, attempting to collect on a dowry, ignite their brides indoors. The damage is often compounded when a burning bride attempts to escape and spreads the flames to other homes,' Chandra said. 'If you absolutely must burn your bride, avoid additional destruction with an affordable bride extinguisher. And, if possible, confine the burning to your backyard bride pit.' He also recommended that homeowners install and periodically test marital smoke detectors.

2	Mike Browns Last Words Revealed... Youll Be Shocked [VIDEO] According to recent reports, grand jury evidence released to the public reveals the last words uttered by Michael Brown before he was shot by Police Officer Darren Wilson. Dorian Johnson and Brown were both trying to evade arrest from the strong-arm robbery they had committed, and Browns last words reflect the pairs desire to escape all consequences. St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch has released the transcript of a police interview with Johnson, who was with Brown at the time of his death. In the interview, Johnson stated that Brown had told him to Keep runnin, bro after being shot. While Johnson has lied multiple times when recounting the incident, Browns supposed last words do hold some weight. What do you think? Is Johnson telling the truth? 
1	Based on his recent activity on Facebook, local man Arthur Gibson, 29, is reportedly under the impression that libertarian icon and former presidential candidate Ron Paul is still running for a major federal office of some kind, sources confirmed Tuesday. In times such as these, we require an experienced leader who is willing to stand behind the courage of his convictions and do what is right for America, and that man is Ron Paul, Gibson wrote in just his latest post on the social networking site, seemingly unaware that the 77-year-old political theorist and former congressman is neither running for president nor in a position wherein he can directly affect public policy in any way. [President Barack] Obama has had his chance, and yet he has consistently failed us at every turn. Well, no more. Its time for us to take back our country. Gibsons Facebook friends later confirmed that the staunch libertarian has held unfounded delusions about Pauls ability to play a role in the political process since as far back as 2008. 
1	A study released Thursday by the Pacific Parenting Institute found that owning a seriously cool leather jacket is significantly more fulfilling than raising a child to adulthood. 'Our research suggests that the feeling of purchasing a really amazing leather jacket and then proudly watching over time as it gradually becomes broken in and forms perfectly to your body is, by a very wide margin, more rewarding than conceiving a child and then raising it from birth to 18 years of age,' said lead researcher Dr. Marcus Aiello, adding that it was on average 63 percent more gratifying to regularly condition a leather jacket that had awesome vertical zippers on the sleeves than it was to read nightly bedtime stories to a son or daughter. When study participants also obtained just the right pair of faded jeans and some vintage harness motorcycle boots to go with their badass leather jacket, these enormous feelings of pride and satisfaction reached levels that caused similar feelings stemming from attending a child's college graduation to become statistically irrelevant. Aiello also noted that the average cost of raising a child is estimated to be $400,000, an amount researchers pointed out was much higher than the price of a mint-condition 1971 supercharged Plymouth Barracuda. 
3	Instead of Providing Safe Spaces This University Teaches Survival SkillsBy Daisy Luther Frostburg State University has afreshman-level interdisciplinary course calledDoomsday Preppers and Surviving the Unexpected Emergency, playing off the popularity of the National Geographic Channels show of the same name. In the class,Recreation and Parks Management Professor Robert Kauffman teaches disaster preparedness to help the kids get ready for a variety of scenarios. Kauffman is the author of a paper about the rescue curve that discusses the point at which injury, damage or loss can increase as time between an incident and an intervention increases. The class is now in its second semester of preparing students for emergencies, and the professor plans to continue it next year. Heres a little bit more about the course: In Kauffmans class, he uses clips from Castaway and Blast From the Past among others to augment his examples of the psychological and physical effects of disaster preparedness. As Januarys snowstorm demonstrated, these skills come in handy whether stranded on a highway or isolated in your neighborhood. Among the assignments in IDIS 150, students have to plan for short-term disasters and one-year disasters, take inventory of their food at home, design a shelter, determine how much in supplies and food they need, organize communication tools and, yes, learn how to prep for life in an underground bunker. But its the more likely scenarios that Kauffman really hopes the students will be prepared for. It is a reprocessing of your camping skills. Really, what we did is take the old-fashioned camping course and repackaged it, Kauffman said. The real emphasis is surviving the unexpected emergency we could be thrust into anytime, our car breaking down on the road, being stranded at a rest stop, or we just had a storm where people were stranded for three days. Ebersole, of New Enterprise, Pa., found the course helpful for when he goes hunting in the winter. He now makes sure he has an extra coat and supplies in his car for unexpected situations. It was a simple exercise in class that showed him why its important to have extra supplies. We pulled out everything from our pockets, and whatever you had with you at the time is what youll have during an emergency, he said. He also was well-prepared for the January snowstorm in part thanks to the class, having stocked up on enough food and supplies to make it until his neighborhoods streets were cleared. These kids are being prepared for actual life, toughening up by considering the possibilities, and gaining the confidence that comes from being ready to meet challenges. This is in sharp contrast to what many colleges are teaching these days. Instead of nurturing competent kids into adults that can go out and conquer the world, theyre wrapping them in cotton and turning them into wusses who require shelter from mean words. Just last week, Rutgers University was the scene of a dramatic protest with an aftermath that required trauma counseling. If youre wondering what awful thing happened, there was a guest lecturer who hurt some of the students feelings. In protest, they smeared blood on their faces, because words. Words had wounded them. Afterward, they had to seek help in a group therapy session to deal with the traumaof listening to another opinion. Many students said in the aftermath that they were fearful as they slunk around the campus for days after the event. Protesters at the University of Missouri required a safe space to recuperate from the rigors of protesting, in which no one could say mean things to them and the media couldnt report on them. So unbelievably gutless are many young adults that numerous guides have been written about how to keep from offending, treading upon, or discriminating against anyone. (You can see a list of these guides here so you can laugh at them follow the new rules of conduct.) Matthew McConaughey gave the 2015 commencement speech at the University of Houston, and may not be invited back. Lifes not fair. It never was, isnt now and wont ever be. Do not fall into the entitled trap of feeling like youre a victim. You are not. If we really wanted kids to be prepared for an adult life full of accomplishments and freedom, wed teach them that overcoming obstacles is the route to success, not hiding under your blankie. Never have I seen it so well said than in this essay by a combat veteran Marine. If you were designing a course for life for kids stepping into adulthood, what would that course teach? Disaster preparedness? How to handle your finances? How to budget? Home economics? Shop? It seems that none of these things is included in education anymore, and were sending kids out into the world completely unprepared, deeply in debt, and unable to find employment. No longer do youngsters seek adventure and live to tell the tale(at least not without someone getting arrested or taken away by CPS). Helicopter parenting and higher education are lowering the thresholds of common sense and, well, cajones. These coddled, wimpy kids could be the sensitive future leaders of our country, an alarming thought at best. The course at Frostburg is a refreshing change from the tripe were seeing in the news from other colleges. I would much rather send my kids to a place where the headline is University Teaches Survival Skills than one that says University Creates Safe Spaces for Word-Wounded Students. Heres hoping that other schools follow their lead.

Maybe Heinlein should be required reading in high school lit. Great idea! My first PE course in college was called swimming but it was really about drown-proofing. It taught us a host of ways to stay afloat and the final was applying all of them and staying afloat 45 minutes in very choppy water without a break. The result is that Im far less likely to panic in a water emergency. Whatever I need to do is not a well-honed reflex. Everyone needs that. Alas, that school, Auburn University, doesnt even require PE classes anymore. No drown-proofing. No nothing. Pitiful. Michael W. Perry, editor of Across Asia on a Bicycle

1	As the best players in baseball prepare to go head-to-head at Target Field, millions of fans across the nation expressed their excitement for Tuesday evenings MLB All-Star Game, theoretically speaking. The most talented and popular players from the American and National Leagues will be on the same field for a single star-studded matchup, so this is a game that everybody looks forward to every year, you would think, 29-year-old Baltimore Orioles fan Brandon Capps told reporters, noting that the opportunity to watch the games very best pitchers, hitters, and fielders vie for home-field advantage in the World Series is one thatat least on papermakes the Midsummer Classic the premier event of the season. Just imagine: Clayton Kershaw takes the hill and sends a sizzling 98-mile-per-hour four-seamer to Mike Trout, who launches the ball to center field, where Andrew McCutchen snags it just before it goes over the wall and fires it back in time to catch Robinson Cano before he crosses home plate. In the purest of hypothetical terms, its a cant-miss game. Capps added that, following the conclusion of the All-Star break, there is nothing more thrilling than watching the second half of the regular season, where one could conceivably argue that every single game is incredibly crucial. 
1	Rousing shouts of 'Prosit!' and boot-shaped vials frothing over with hearty, dark German-style crack are the order of the day at Hans von Kreutzen's new neighborhood Krackhas. Waitress Elke Krupps hoists a heaping tray of the dark, robust Bavarian cocaine waiting for you at Das Kracken Has. 'Welkommen, alle!' bellows Hans to several glassy-eyed baseheads staggering through the ornately carved oak doors of Das Kracken Has, the family-style crack-cocaine freebasing emporium and eatery he has built in the Germantown area of East New York. 'So, you vant a hit on der krackpipe, ya?' As a desperate young woman huddles near the Krackhas' charming, gingerbread-trimmed bar, offering a man oral sex in exchange for $10, von Kreutzen recalls his establishment's humble roots. 'I vas saddened to see zat my neighborhood had lost sight of its strong ethnic roots,' he says. 'The kinder were smoking the rock out on the avenue. So I built mein Krackhas. Now zey have somewhere to go and frei-base in der old German style!' 'Ve make and refine our own product here,' says von Kreutzen, obviously proud of his operation. 'Der Krack is made in many styles, including Dark, Krack Bock, and a full-bodied, malty Kracktoberfest Pilsner.' All von Kreutzen's offerings are produced by his on-premises Krackmeister in strict accordance with the Bavarian Purity Law of 1977, which states that the raw flaked cocaine must not be stepped on more than twice before being cut with kitchen powder. The kitchen also serves up hearty Kokenschnitzel with heavy cream sauces, as well as a variety of sausages. The hearty, full-bodied nature of the product means that customer turnover is high. 'Some days der ragged, emaciated bodies of ze junkies are staked up in ze back like corpses,' says von Kreutzen. 'But even zat has its roots in German culture!' 'Ich liebe Das Kracken Has!' says apple-cheeked waitress Heidi Schtrundle. 'This is the only place in East New York where you can cook up to the hearty oompah rhythms of the Krack Barrel Polka. Also, if you're a lady who's broke and still needs a hit, you can just let Hans have some fun under your Dirndl.' Das Kracken Has is decorated in the great German style. Huge stained oak tables are the perfect place to enjoy an old-fashioned 'massive fatal heart attack.' Torches line the walls, giving off a warm glow to see more easily what's cooking in 'Der Kracklab.' The enormous fieldstone fireplace is the centerpiece for the traditional Krackhead dance, in which one alternates between scuttling closer to the fire's heat and flinching from its light. 'Come, gather round!' von Kreutzen calls out to a large crowd of blond-haired, ruddy-faced addicts. 'Und have some delicious Wienerblow!' Though the story sometimes varies, legend has it that von Kreutzen started his Krackhas with money he acquired from the sale of miscellaneous art items his father had imported from Europe in the late summer of 1944. With a small business loan from an Argentinean bank and local connections, Der Kracken Has was soon open for business. And they've been hooked ever since. 'Try ityou will enjoy,' von Kreutzen says. 'Und if you OD, und have to go to ze hospital with toxic shock, tell them Hans sent you!'

1	In yet another first for the world's premier athletic footwear manufacturer, Nike announced Tuesday the nationwide launch of the Air Fornicator, a lightweight copulating shoe designed to maximize sexual performance. The newly released Air Fornicators promise better traction during coitus. 'Nike is proud to continue its commitment to new and innovative products with the first ever sneaker developed exclusively for sex,' president and CEO Mark Parker said. 'Stylishly sculpted and contoured for enhanced comfort, the featherlight Air Fornicator provides superior energy return to reduce fatigue and boost the libido.' 'With this shoe you will last longer, experience more pleasure, and fuck smarter,' Parker added. According to a Nike press release, the Air Fornicator's cutting-edge support system creates maximum foot stability, which in turn improves coital alignment, increases clitoral stimulation, and deepens penetration. The revolutionary midsole component reportedly works to adapt to the user's pelvic motions and cushions the overall shock of repetitive grinding. Retailing for $175, the Air Fornicator will be available in high-tops and low-tops and in a variety of passion-inducing color schemes. Nike design engineers subjected the Air Fornicators to a battery of erotic tests on multiple surfaces. Senior Nike footwear designer Barry Hudson said the shoe's outer sole was constructed from a durable carbonized rubber to improve grip, enhance traction, and prevent slipping on a variety of surfaces, including carpeting, concrete, wallpaper, hardwood, and silk. In addition, Hudson claimed that the rounded CliMax-brand air heel facilitates more efficient thrusting and lustful pounding. 'We made dozens of adjustments to the tread pattern to ensure balance, as well as proper support for arched backs,' Hudson said. 'And the soles were designed to minimize sliding around in bodily fluids. You can make love standing up in a puddle of massage oil and you won't fall down.' Nike's research department performed thousands of trials on the Air Fornicator over a 16-month period, including a number of stamina tests and other off-site experiments intended to gauge the intercourse shoe's robustness. Engineers, who observed couples in a variety of sexual positions, found several cases in which the Air Fornicator suddenly flew loose during intense coitus, a problem they remedied by tightening the lacing pattern and adding a Velcro strap for security. A nationwide marketing campaign for the copulation sneaker will debut this Friday with a 60-second television ad scheduled to air on all major networks. The ad, shot in black-and-white and accompanied by the Led Zepellin song Whole Lotta Love, features a montage of several slow-motion scenes. These include a shot of a sweat-covered man pleasuring his wife, who reaches climax seconds later, shattering their beds headboard; a high-angled pan of a woman rolling her wheelchair up a steep hill while making love to her partner; and finally, a close-up of an Olympic runner, who bends over to lace up his Air Fornicators, before the camera pulls back to reveal his teammate approaching from behind with a strap-on dildo. Sales for the new shoe are expected to be strong. 'My wife enjoys it when I make love to her, but I usually wind up feeling tired and sore,' focus group volunteer Michael Nelson said. 'Since getting the Air Fornicators, though, I've been giving it to her all the time. It hardly even feels like fucking anymore.' While Nike marketers found that consumers responded favorably to the product's claim of helping them 'get into the erogenous zone,' a small percentage were still not convinced. 'I'm not going to spend $175 on an intercourse shoe when I only have sex like once a month at most,' Dallas native Erica Graham said. 'They would probably just sit in the closet and gather dust.' 
3	California Senate Approves Industrial Hemp BillPhillip Smith The current bill, Senate Bill 566, was written to assuage the concerns Brown expressed in his 2011 veto message. It will not take effect until hemp production is authorized under federal law. Hemp bills have passed out of the legislature in 2002, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2011, only to fall prey to gubernatorial vetoes. Vetoes have come under both Democratic and Republican governors, with Gov. Jerry Brown vetoing the most recent bill because hemp production remains illegal under federal law. The California Industrial Hemp Farming Act will create new jobs and economic opportunities for many farmers and manufacturers across California, said sponsor Sen. Mark Leno (D-San Francisco). Hundreds of consumer products containing hemp are made in the Golden State, but the manufacturers of these goods are forced to import hemp seed, oil, and fiber from growers in Canada, Europe, and China. This new bill is carefully crafted to eliminate conflicts with federal law and has the support of the California State Sheriffs Association. Domestic retail sales of hemp food and body care products reached $156 million last year, and the Hemp Industries Association estimates that all hemp products sales, including clothing, auto parts, and building materials, totaled at least $500 million. Companies that use hemp in their products, such as Escondido-based Dr. Bronners Magic Soaps, currently have to import it because of the federal ban on hemp production. Dr. Bronners currently purchases twenty tons of hemp oil each year from Canada. We look forward to the day that we can meet our supply needs from hemp produced right here in our home state, said company president David Bronner. Now, Bronner and other hemp entrepreneurs are one step closer to that day. This article first appeared at StopTheDrugWar.org.

He said the IRS declaration must be signed, under oath, by the appropriate IRS official. From The Daily Signal: On Friday, in a hearing examining a lawsuit brought by True the Vote, Judge Reggie Walton gave the IRS until July 18 to find out what happened to the crashed hard drive responsible for erasing two years worth of Lerners emails. He also wants to know if the hard drive is traceable through a serial number. If the information is gone, Walton said he wants an affidavit written under penalty of perjury by an IRS IT professional with firsthand knowledge of the situation, reports Politico. Things arent looking good for Lerner at all, especially in light of two recent developments: From Legal Insurrection: Darrell Issa has tweeted out an email exchange involving Lois Lerner in April 2013, in which she attempts to scope out what email records get retained, and cautions that because Congress may seek emails, we need to be cautious about what we say in emails. Here is that email exchange: Oops. Lerner isnt the sharpest tool in the shed, is she? To add to her troubles, on Thursday, Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockman filed a resolution demanding that the House use a little-exercised power to arrest Lerner. From his press release: Finally, the pressure is on the IRS to provide answers and hopefully, be forced to answer TO the allegations of targeting certain groups.

3	Feds Helped Hide Investigation into Big Banks Money Laundering for Drug CartelsBy Carey Wedler When HSBCs sordid dealings were discovered in 2012, the DOJ declined to press charges, arguing the bank was too important to prosecute. As the Guardian reported at the time, Assistant Attorney General Larry Breuer argued the Justice Department had looked at the collateral consequences to prosecuting the HSBC or taking away its US banking license. Such a move could have cost thousands of jobs, he said. Further, Had the US authorities decided to press criminal charges, the Guardian summarized, HSBC would almost certainly have lost its banking license in the US, the future of the institution would have been under threat and the entire banking system would have been destabilized. The DOJs refusal to prosecute those responsible was widely criticized, as HSBC was found to have laundered over $850 million for cartels, whilealso laundering money for Saudi banks with ties to terrorist groups. The bank also helped nations like Libya and Iran bypass American financial laws. The lack of punishment for these transgressions appeared to reveal a double standard. As Glenn Greenwald observed at the time: The US government is expressly saying that banking giants reside outside of above the rule of law, that they will not be punished when they get caught red-handed committing criminal offenses for which ordinary people are imprisoned for decades. Aside from the grotesque injustice, the signal it sends is as clear as it is destructive: you are free to commit whatever crimes you want without fear of prosecution. And obviously, if the US government would not prosecute these banks on the ground that theyre too big and important, it would yet again, or rather still never let them fail. Rather than directly prosecute HSBC, the DOJ opted for a deferred prosecution and imposed a five-year monitoring program wherein government authorities would regularly audit the banks internal reforms to ostensibly prevent similar criminal behavior in the future. The bank was also ordered to pay a $1.9 million fine, which DOJ officials bragged was the largest ever for such a case. A private individual, Hubert Dean Moore, recently sued in an eastern New York district court to publish the findings of the first annual audit, but both HSBC and the DOJ resisted. HSBC reportedly argued in a letter to U.S. District Judge John Gleeson that Moore had not identified a public interest case for publishing the report that would outweigh the negative consequences. Further, according to the Guardian, HSBC contended that publishing the monitors report would undermine the very purpose of the monitoring by compromising the ability of the monitor and the government to assess HSBCs progress in improving its anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance program. This argument was based on the DOJs own June 2015 argument against publishing the 1,000-page report. That report warned that monitors found certain areas within HSBC Group where the understanding of money laundering and financial crime red flags continues to lag. Though HSBC maintained that publishing the report about its alleged improvements would harm the public, others see the justification for secrecy as a continuing double standard in American rule of law. As Greenwald also said of the DOJs refusal to prosecute HSBC in 2012: [W]e are constantly told that immunizing those with the greatest power is not for their good, but for our good, for our collective good: because its better for all of us if society is free of the disruptions that come from trying to punish the most powerful, if were free of the deprivations that we would collectively experience if we lose their extraordinary value and contributions by prosecuting them. In a recent court filing issued to fight Moores lawsuit, HSBC argued its original deferred prosecution agreement guaranteed the monitors findings would remain private but perhaps this highlights the crux of the problem. In addition to failing to prosecute clearly criminal behavior that any average American would be imprisoned for committing, from the outset, the DOJ assisted HSBC in keeping its dealings clandestine. In spite of their efforts to keep the information suppressed, however, Judge Gleeson ruled Thursday that the public had a right to see the report. I find that the Report is a judicial record, and that the public has a First Amendment right to see the Report, he wrote in his opinion. Moore was pleased with the decision, and pointed out the banks unabashed resistance in trying to keep the report private. Im director of business development, he said. My job is to deal with people. If you make a mistake, you say sorry. They dont have that kind of humility at all. Instead, the bank simply said, We regret this decision and are considering our next steps.

1	LUSAKA, ZAMBIAZambian president H.E. Levy P. Mwanawasa publicly chastised Reuters and 10 other news organizations Monday for featuring Zambia in their 'news of the weird' sections. 'Zambia has a rich cultural history well beyond the man who can swallow razor blades,' Mwanawasa said. 'Either feature something about Zambia besides dodecatuplets, or don't feature Zambia at all.' Interestingly, in addition to being the Zambian leader, Mwanawasa is also the proud owner of the world's longest soda-can pull-tab chain. 
3	Check Out Mayor Bloombergs New Sandy Hook Gun Control CommercialMelissa Melton A clock ticks as people in a drab, desaturated world observe a moment of silence for the victims, then a camera follows a guy with a duffel bag in slow motion as he tosses the bag to the ground and heads into a school, presumably to shoot the place up. A dramatic female voice says, But with 26 more school shootings since that day, ask yourself: Is silence what America needs right now? alluding that what America needs is even more gun control laws. The fact that Sandy Hook was already a gun-free zone and criminals are criminals because they dont follow laws to begin with (thats what makes them criminals by definition) apparently doesnt factor in. The commercial was sponsored by Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and the 600-member Mayors Against Illegal Guns. By the way, while the mayor argues that average citizens should have less guns, hes busy sitting on a city he bragged has the 7th biggest army in the world. (Note, while its true this is wildly inaccurate as the NYPD isnt even the largest police force in the world, according to Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, it does have a state-of-the-art post-9/11 anti-terrorism system with the ability to take down rogue aircraft.) Bloomberg needs to check out what Thomas Jefferson meant by unalienable rights and take a history lesson; his citys overblown police state is exactly what Americas founding fathers warned against and why a persons right to bear arms is absolutely critical to maintaining freedom against a tyrannical, oppressive system. Besides, despite having some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, NYC still has more gun murders per capita than the entire country of Argentina.

2	On The Last Day Joey Feek Walked, She Danced One Of The Most Beautiful Dances Of Her Life This story is enough to break your heart. The day before Joey Feek lost her ability to walk, she danced one of the most incredible dances of her life. Rory Feek is a blogger, and has continuously tugged on the heart strings of Americans with his tales of his wife Joey and her battle against the last stages of cancer. In a blog post on November 29, Rory wrote about his discussions with Joey about what might be their last dance together. A few days ago, on the last day Joey walked, I took her in my arms in the living room and once more put her hand in mine and we danced, Rory wrote. She steadied with her cane and I softly moved her across the room singing George Straits You Look So Good In Love in her ear. In the middle of the song though, as I was being careful not to step on her toesshe stopped and looked up at me and said, How about if I lead? I followed her lead as we slowly two-stepped on her mamas living room floor, Rory continued. Like dancing, she wants to do this right, or not do it at allto share the good, the bad, and beautiful. And so we will. Is this story truly remarkable? Share it with your family and friends! 
2	Philly Man Refuses To Listen To Cop, Learns Quickly That Was A HUGE Mistake [VIDEO] Were sure that this new video is going to spark some heated debates on social media, especially with all the aggression toward police officers from angry liberals. Some Americans appear to have forgotten that if you mess with and refuse to listen to law enforcement, there are going to be consequences for your action. Such was the case when this Philadelphia police officer told the man to sit down, and instead he began yelling and refusing. What happens next will probably but the officer in hot water, but do you think his actions were justified? 
1	Oh no! It looks like John McCain's in a lot of trouble, and the election is only a few days away. That shouldn't be too much of a problem, though, because my entire campaign this year was only a few days long, and I won. Mr. McCain seems like a nice man, a lot like that old guy who mops up the cafeteria after-school, so I'll help him out with some campaign advice that worked for me! 1. TIME FOR A NEW HAIRSTYLE! There's no better way to completely change the nature of an election in a jiffy than to do something new with your hair. A new hairstyle will put your opponent on the defensive immediately. I mean, why didn't the other candidate change her hair? Does she not care about her hair? Is she old and out of touch? These are the things people will think. Make sure you go to a big-city salon though, like the one they have in Kansas City, because NOTHING will sink an election faster than a botched haircut. 2. CARRY A BABY AROUND! This worked really well when I was running this year. One day Hannah Becker stopped by school to say hi to everyone and show off her new baby, Willa. I picked Willa up and walked around a little with her, and all of a sudden, lots of people came up to see me. If you carry a baby around all the time, you'll always have the PERFECT excuse to tell people your campaign message. Also, Mr. McCain, the baby will make you seem cuter. 3. GET IN A CAR ACCIDENT! Last year, nobody was going to vote for Andrea Dixon for senior class president, but then she and her boyfriend Greg Dolan got in a car accident on the way back from their shift at Applebee's. After that, EVERYONE voted for her because Greg was in the hospital for weeks. She didn't even have to do anything to win, except go to a couple funerals. And more than anything, Mr. McCain, if you see a big group of people gathered, GO TALK TO THEM! It's the best way to get your message out, just make sure you ask the teacher or coach or whoever is in charge of them first. 
3	Narcotics Cop Who Ruined Countless Lives for Weed Possession, Busted with $2 Million in MarijuanaBy John Vibes The York County Police Department has been cautiously silent about the investigation, and they have refused to comment on the details of the arrest, and how they became aware of the shipment. York County District Attorney Tom Kearney admitted at a recent press conference that this arrest was a part of a large investigation that included various different police departments. Penn Township Police, West Manheim Township Police, Hanover Police, Northern York County Regional Police, York Area Regional Police, Springettsbury Township Police and the York barracks of Pennsylvania State Police were all involved in the arrest and present at the press conference. One has to be both saddened and angry that a law-enforcement officer was allegedly involved, Kearney said, adding that This was a very sophisticated operation, and obviously a large one. Investigators also had no idea that Heath was a cop until after the bust. I will tell you prior to the stop we were unaware that this individual was law enforcement, Kearney said. We did not become aware of that until we made the stop. Heath, along with two other men, Tyler N. Long, and Ryan J. Falsone traveled across the country in two pickup trucks where the marijuana was stashed in vacuum-sealed bags. Chief deputy prosecutor David Sunday said that while marijuana is not the departments main focus, they are still targeting marijuana dealers in their investigations. We spend a majority of our time focusing on heroin and cocaine (dealers), Sunday said. However, he defended the arrest by saying that the men were caught with a startling amount of marijuana. Undersheriff Jerry Read.of Yuba County said that Heath was an adequate officer. He was assigned to a narcotics task force (for) almost three years. Conditions are very good in Yuba County for the growing of marijuana. We take down high-poundage dealers with some frequency, and take down growing operations sometimes with as many as a thousand plants, Read said This case is especially interesting because Heath was an officer on a narcotics task force, meaning that he was responsible for putting nonviolent people in prison for using and selling drugs. Meanwhile, he himself was selling drugs and taking part in the same actions that he was locking people up for. Of course, it is the view of the Free Thought Project (and selfnews Post Ed.)that anyone should be able to possess marijuana, as it is an incredibly beneficial plant. While those who would lock up morally innocent people for possessing a plant are bad enough, it takes a uniquely vile individual to ruin the lives of countless individuals while at the same time committing equivalent acts. This hypocrite is currently on paid vacation from the department in Yuba despite admitting to transporting the marijuana from California to Pennsylvania. Heath is free on a $1 million bond. John Vibes is an author and researcher who organizes a number of large events including the Free Your Mind Conference. He also has a publishing company where he offers a censorship free platform for both fiction and non-fiction writers. You can contact him and stay connected to his work at his Facebook page. You can purchase his books, or get your own book published at his website www.JohnVibes.com. What a flippin hypocrite. I hope he rots in prison. Hope he meets up with one of his victims. We need to go back 70+ years to the Two Major men who are responsible for cannabis to have been declared illegal. The companies and families of these two men should be ordered to remunerate the persons and families of all who have been convicted for possession of cannabis. Names of the two major men, please? Their families are no doubt very wealthy and highly respected today. All criminals, dead and alive, must have their crimes exposed and the American people educated as to the lies told and lives stolen by their actions. The vilification of this plant and those who take advantage of its many benefits is a perfect example of the few corrupt ruling the many honest for far too long. I will tell you prior to the stop we were unaware that this individual was law enforcement. Well obviously, because if you were aware that this individual was law enforcement you would not have made the stop at all. What he did is entirely normal. Drug squad detectives are all licensed to take drugs, and even give drugs to their own chosenite drug dealers to sell, and then the sellers inform on the buyers, the drugs are often recovered, and recycled the same way, and at the top of the tree, the Queens Opium Wars continue, with heroin production under British military supervision in Helmand Province in Afghanistan, with the drugs used to destroy youth in Iran and Russia, and in America and Europe, but the government wants to be the group totally in control, to have total knowledge and total grip on all of society from the very top, to the very bottom, so that NO one is outside society, people only think they are, and anyone who tries to stay outside of this system, they get informed on and busted. So EVERYONE remains in the system, or in the grip of it. Howard Marks, the famous drugs dealer, used to work selling drugs for the CIA and MI6, wrote about it in his book, Mr Nice, and gives public talks on it. The authorized drugs dealers and the police are mainly chosenites, or their lackeys, as are the royal family. figuresthe police in metros every where same-o-same-o. Abolish the police. Give a man a uniform and a gunand he will take every bit of power over the helpless. paid vacation???. give me a break !! I see nothing wrong in trading in cannabis One more reason that marijuana should be totally legalized

3	Implausible Deniability - Wests ISIS Terror Hordes in IraqTony Cartalucci The terror hordes originated from NATO territoryand have inundated Syria, Iraq, and now Lebanon. The goal of this well funded, heavily armed, professionally organized mercenary force is clearly to supplant pro-Iranian political and military fronts across Tehrans arc of influence from Baghdad to Damascus, to Lebanon and Hezbollah along the Mediterranean. In the process, the heavily indoctrinated rank and file have committed horrific atrocities ranging from rape and torture to mass executions and sectarian genocide. While such war crimes have been taking place in Syria since 2011, it is becoming increasingly difficult to cover up similar crimes beyond Syrias borders under narratives of civil war linked to the so-called Arab Spring. ISIS Origins Beginning in 2011 and actually even as early as 2007 the United States has been arming, funding, and supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and a myriad of armed terrorist organizations to overthrow the government of Syria, fight Hezbollah in Lebanon, and undermine the power and influence of Iran, which of course includes any other government or group in the MENA region friendly toward Tehran. ISIS was harbored on NATO territory, armed and funded by US CIA agents with cash and weapons brought in from the Saudis, Qataris, and NATO members themselves. The non-lethal aid the US and British sent including the vehicles we now see ISIS driving around in. They didnt take this gear from moderates. There were never any moderates to begin with. The deadly sectarian genocide we now see unfolding was long ago predicted by those in the Pentagon current and former officials interviewed in 2007 by Pulitzer Prize-winning veteran journalist Seymour Hersh. Hershs 9-page 2007 report, The Redirection states explicitly: Extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam and are sympathetic to Al Qaeda is a verbatim definition of what ISIS is today. Clearly the words of Hersh were as prophetic as they were factually informed, grounded in the reality of a regional conflict already engineered and taking shape as early as 2007. Hershs report would also forewarn the sectarian nature of the coming conflict, and in particular mention the regions Christians who were admittedly being protected by Hezbollah. Wests Feigned Concern Vs. Genuine Drive to Divide and Destroy Now, as the US feigns concern for religious minorities being slaughtered in front of the eyes of the world, it should be remembered that this conflict was engineered, set in motion, and perpetuated intentionally by the West for at least the last 7 years. The West knew the sectarian genocide now unfolding in Syria, Iraq, and soon in Lebanon was the inevitable result of their efforts to raise this regional mercenary force. Western concern for religious minorities and the minimal provisions being made to assist them, is to maintain an increasingly tenuous plausible deniability. The feigned dithering of the West in the face of their growing mercenary force is to allow it to overrun the Iraqi government if possible, create more havoc within Syria, and spread the chaos to Lebanon. ISIS is a standing army that requires state sponsorship billions in cash, gear, weapons, and logistical, intelligence, and political support. While the West claims it has been handing over hundreds of millions to moderates in Syria, it has offered no plausible explanation as to who is providing ISIS and other Al Qaeda affiliates with even more resources enabling the extremists to displace these moderates. There is no other explanation besides the fact that there were never any moderates to begin with and that the US, UK, France, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and even Israel, have from the beginning, intentionally created a mercenary army composed of Al Qaeda extremists of unprecedented dimensions and capabilities. The direct war with Iran the West has for so long attempted to sell the world is now clearly being replaced with an immense proxy war. It will feign ignorance to the genesis of ISIS and the fact that no other explanation beyond state-sponsorship exists to explain its continued success on the battlefield. Token airdrops and even airstrikes against ISIS positions will admittedly do nothing to disrupt ISIS ongoing campaigns across the region. Depending on ISIS ability to achieve the Wests goals by proxy will determine the level of direct intervention the West seeks across the region. Buffer zones and humanitarian interventions to relieve areas plagued by ISIS will conveniently leave terrorist safe havens extending far beyond their current boundaries in NATO-member Turkey, Jordan, and northwest Iraq.

2	Chris Wallace Refuses To Help Liberals Smear Trump During Debates... Instantly Crushes Them With This Not long ago, Chris Wallace from Fox News claimed he was honored to be one of the people chosen to moderate the Presidential Debate this fall. He told Howard Kurtz that he intends to be fair, and avoid showing the same extreme bias others have demonstrated in the past. No, its very different, and Im very mindful of that, he said when asked if the role was different than hosting a Sunday show. It isnt coming up with a killer question, not coming up with the great follow-up. I see myself as a conduit to ask the questions and basically to get the two candidates, or as I say, if one of the other people is on the stage as well, one of the third part candidates, but to get the candidates to engage. I view it as kind of being a referee in a heavyweight championship fight. If itif it succeeds when its over, people will say, you did a great job. I dont even remember you ever even being on the stage. When Kurtz questioned whether Wallace was going to attempt to do any fact checking his answer was simple. Thats not my job. I do not believe it is my job to be a truth squad, he commented. Its up to the other person to catch them on that. I certainly am going to try to maintain some reasonable semblance of equal time. If one of them is filibustering, Im going to try to break in respectfully and give the other person a chance to talk. But I want it to be about themI want it to be as much of a debate, people often talk that its simultaneous news conferences. I want it to be as much of a debate as possible. What do you think? Do you applaud Wallace for understanding his role?

The action took place following the recent shootings in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The murder of the three Muslim students is still under investigation, and it is yet to be determined whether the shooter will be charged with a hate crime. Some claim the motive for the murder was an ongoing parking dispute, yet Muslims are convinced that this is an example of Islamophobia. What do you think of the protest? Watch the video and tell us your thoughts. 
2	You Wont Believe What Jesse Ventura Plans To Do With The 1.8M He Won From Chris Kyle The nation has been up in arms as Jesse Ventura recently won $1.8 million dollars, and started making television appearance that further drive the United States hatred. Meanwhile, Taya, Kyle, the widow of Chris Kyle, has swiftly avoided the public eye. Recently, however, Ventura took the time to sit down with CBS to explain his side of the story. He spent the segment complaining about being a victim, while Taya Kyle had her attorneys fees in the case paid for by the insurance company. According to Ventura, his newly found fortune will be used to pay his lawyers. Boo hoo. Maybe it is just us, but stealing a deceased Navy SEALs money to pay for your sharks isnt exactly a sob story.

3	New Study Shows Common Insecticide Destroys Fertility In BeesBy Derrick Broze A new study published on Wednesday in thejournalProceedings of the Royal Society Bhas found that a class of insecticides known asneonicotinoids do not kill drone honey bees, but instead drastically reduce the amount of live sperm produced by the male population. Researchers at Switzerlands University of Bern found that the bees who ate pollen treated with neonicotinoids produced 39 percent less live sperm than the bees who did not eat the treated pollen. The Associated Press reported: It essentially acted as an accidental contraceptive on the drones, whose main job is to mate with the queen but not one that prevented complete reproduction, just making it tougher, said Lars Straub, lead author of the study and a doctoral student and researcher at the University of Bern. Drones, which are the product of unfertilized eggs, dont gather nectar or pollen and dont sting; they die after mating. While the drone bees that ate the treated pollen did not produce a different amount of sperm than those who were not exposed, they did produce less living sperm. The bees who were untreated produced an average1.98 million living sperm, while the bees withneonicotinoids in theirfood produced about 1.2 million.Straub told the AP that the big question regarding the new findings is whether there is still enough sperm to do the job of mating with the queen. Neonicotinoid-maker Bayer Crop Science spokesman Jeffrey Donald told the AP that Bayers scientists will review the study, but they believe artificial exposure to pesticides under lab conditions is not reflective of real-world experience. In January, the Environmental Protection Agency found that the neonicotinoids harm honey bees when used on cotton and citrus, but not on other crops like corn, berries and tobacco. In April of this year,Scotts Miracle-Gro Co. has decided to end the use of neonicotinoid insecticides for its Ortho brand lawn and garden care products. The company said they are expanding their selection of non-neonicotinoid products and will completely end the use of neonicotinoid ingredients imidacloprid, clothianidin and dinotefuran by 2017. The decision came shortly after Maryland passed legislation banning the sale of neonicotinoids. The bill prohibits the retail sale and household use of neonicotinoid pesticides beginning in 2018, but would still allow commercial uses. I am not convinced that neonics are a major driver of colony loss, Dennis vanEngelsdorp, University of Maryland entomologist, told the AP. VanEngelsdorp did tell the AP he believes farmers are relying too heavily on the pesticides against pests that are simply very scarce or not found in the landscape. There are studies (including EPAs) that show no benefit to production when these products are used. Neonicotinoids have also been the subject of a recent whistleblower complaint filed by a researcher with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. United States Department of Agriculture researcher Dr. Jonathan Lundgren filed an internal complaint in September 2014 accusing the USDA of retaliating against him in response to his neonicotinoids research. The complaint was dismissed by the USDA and Lundgren was suspended in October 2014. The West Field Times reports that the USDA said Lundgren was suspended for three days after USDA investigators found emails among his research staff that included indecent jokes. On October 28, 2015, Lundgren filed a complaint with the federal Merit Systems Protection Board after his supervisors allegedly began to impede or deter his research and resultant publications. Lundgrens complaint alleges that his supervisors suspended him in retaliation for his research on neonicotinoid pesticides and also calls for an investigation of both the USDA and the EPA. Lundgrens complaint is now moving forward and will hopefully provide some more insight into the possible dangers of the neonicotinoids. Back in September 2015,a federal appeals court dealt a huge blow to the pesticide industry by issuing a ruling that blocks the use of a controversial pesticide believed to be causing harm to honey bees.The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) insufficiently tested the pesticide sulfoxaflor before approving its use in 2013. Sulfoxaflor is a type of insecticide known as neonicotinoids, or neonics, which are used on citrus and cotton crops. Circuit Judge Mary Schroeder stated the EPA should have done further research once initial studies showed sulfoxaflor was highly toxic to honey bees. What are your thoughts on the use of insecticides and pesticides at large? Have we become too dependent on food production systems which are in turn dependent on the use of chemicals which harm the environment, the animals, and humans?

With all that noise about the neonics Id say there is enough reason to at least suspend its use until were sure what its doing. Where theres smoke. There are several the different players together produce the collapse of bee colonies. Yeah, these are some ugly issues apiaries are facing. I know mine is. I just came back from checking on my colony. I had to move them 3/8ths mile away from where my orchard is because I have to spray so many insecticides just to keep the damned vermin bugs away. Neonics are becoming necessary due to insect changes. I use 38.5% Permethrin with a Cabaryl kicker for knockdown. The Japanese beetles have been BIBLICAL PROPORTION this year. Last year they were insanely bad, this year I just resort to prayer to God and hoping he takes mercy some. If not, my orchards and vineyards are gone. Even now, the knockdown of these bugs is becoming harder and harder and I am the point where after two morning dews, the vermin bugs return and DEVOUR the plant to the stems. I cannot keep spraying because the foliar load is causing tip burn and necrosis. You cannot keep spraying every other day and expect plants to survive the chemical baths. But without them, the plant dies from being eaten by bugs. Neonics are more potent and do not require so many re-applications. Neonics will quick kill my colony and I wont do that. They have even been africanized from local DCA. They are stupid aggressive now but the permethrin and the fungus, bacteria and vermin do not seem to bother them. But you see that bandaid solutions are fast fading. Take your pick: kill your bees or let the vermin bugs eat your crops. There are ZERO organic methods that work against agricultural problems today. I feel your pain. I have a little farm and a few hives. Not too much trouble with pests. Probably because were small scale. And I live in a place thats alleged to be very organic. But the bees are still challenged. Here abouts Id put most of the bees difficulties down to the zombies with their cell phones, wi frys, cell towers, smart meters, poke mans and the continuous spraying of metals from planes by the criminal geo engineers. Yeppur it makes for a real electrical soup. Wonder the poor bees dont just disappear in a shower of sparks. attracting the birds / bats others that eat the insects . 
3	Man Arrested for Tainting Food with Mercury, as Government and Corporations Go FreeAnthony Gucciardi One retired pharmacist was rightfully arrested after contaminating cafeteria food with heavily toxic mercury, yet no action has been taken against processed food manufacturers whose products are known to contain mercury. Nor has action been taken against the FDA, the organization that sits idly by as consumers continue to eat mercury-laden processed foods that make up on average about 90% of the US food supply. Its no conspiracy theory, the Washington Times a mainstream news publication was actually the first to report on the crisis back in 2009. Now more than 3 years ago, activist groups expressed serious outrage over the findings. Two individual scientific studies found the presence of the hazardous element mercury in nearly half of allhigh-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) test samples. HFCS, of course, is a ubiquitous and oftentimes genetically altered ingredient that pervades the vast majority of processed foods. It makes sense, then, that mercury was identified innearly a third of 55 popular brand-namefood and beverage products which listed high-fructose corn syrup as the first-or-second-highest labeled ingredient. Mercury is toxic in all its forms. Given how much high-fructose corn syrup is consumed by children, it could be a significant additional source of mercury never before considered. We are calling for immediate changes by industry and the [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] to help stop this avoidable mercury contamination of the food supply, the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policys Dr. David Wallinga, a co-author of both studies, said in a prepared statement. Retired pharmacistMartin Kimber was arrested for adding mercury toAlbany Medical Center cafeteria food, after finding a small metal ball of liquid in one individuals chicken finger meal. Of course what Kimber did was truly horrible and he should be rightfully charged, but is it any different than what major food manufacturers are doing? Furthermore, is the FDA any better for letting it happen? Whats more is that Kimbers attempts of mercury contamination only affected a small number of diners, whereas the presence of mercury in processed foods affects the entire globe. Kimber was charged with a felony first-degree tampering with a consumer product. When will consumers stand up and demand that corporations and the FDA answer to why they have allowed mercury to remain in the food supply?

2	State Trooper Picks On Farmer For No Reason... What Happens Next Is Priceless This story of an interaction between a farmer and state trooper has gone viral, and its easy to see why. We can probably all relate to having to handle someone who is on a power trip, and this farmer does it beautifully. Read the story below and tell us what you think. Did this state trooper get what he deserved? A farmer got pulled over by a state trooper for speeding, and the trooper started to lecture the farmer about his speed, and in general began to throw his weight around to try to make the farmer uncomfortable. Finally, the trooper got around to writing out the ticket, and as he was doing that he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. The farmer said, Having some problems with circle flies there, are ya? The trooper stopped writing the ticket and said: Well yeah, if thats what they areI never heard of circle flies. So the farmer says, Well, circle flies are common on farms. See, theyre called circle flies because theyre almost always found circling around the back end of a horse. The trooper says, Oh, and goes back to writing the ticket. Then after a minute he stops and says, Heywait a minute, are you trying to call me a horses ass? The farmer says, Oh no, officer. I have too much respect for law enforcement and police officers to even think about calling you a horses ass. The trooper says, Well, thats a good thing, and goes back to writing the ticket. After a long pause, the farmer says, Hard to fool them flies though. 
3	Corporate Media Retreats to Hollywood as New Truth Media Destroys False Narratives in Real TimeBy Jefferey Jaxen The new media or truth media has hit breakaway speeds on the back of the recent false narratives of Hillary Clintons sound health, safe and effective vaccines, immigration and the Soros-funded elements of Black Lives Matters. Each narrative is continually analyzed in real-time by massive global numbers of independent media to soundly deconstruct narratives leaving anti-human agendas bare for the world to see. The American public now has the information to make a true, freewill choice about their political leaders, news media, government agencies, and health freedom. Events pointing to the full breakdown of trust in mainstream news sources has historically quickened. We are in uncharted waters as the transparent lies get bigger, and more are awakened globally to the mainstream fraud. The reflex action from discredited news sources and their defamed narratives appear to be to double down, ignore reality andengage inhistoric acts of hypocrisy. TheWashington Times recently reported: Americans trust and confidence in the mass media to report the news fully, accurately and fairly has dropped to its lowest level in Gallup polling history. The Washington Post also made history as they shamefully became to first paper to call for prosecution of their own source. After winning the Pulitzer Prize on the back of Edward Snowdens whistleblowing information, the Washington Post editorialized for the former NSA contractors extradition and arrest to face trail in the US. Listening solely to mainstream media, the public would be made to believe that presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, was the epitome of health. News outlets and independent sources that said otherwise were continually discredited. As Clinton continued to have numerous health episodes on camera, corporate media still attempted to cover for her by doctoring videos and gas lighting their audience in real-time. The new truth media used the cavernous gap in mainstream coverage regarding Hillarys true health issues to surge forward by simultaneously converging to expose the reality of the gravely ill candidate. At the present moment, mainstream corporate media outlets appear to be left as placeholders whiletheir dishonest spirit makes the jump to the false realities and fictional stories of Hollywood. After being exposed for her unfair coverage on the presidential campaign, Julian Assange and the murder of Seth Rich, Fox News reporter Megyn Kelly will now beproducing a new scripted seriesfollowing a presidential campaign trail and the embedded journalists who cover it. After ducking press conferences for 274 days, Hillary Clinton took time out of her recovery to film an episode of the highly scripted Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis. Her appearance followed a scripted spot of little to no significance on The Jimmy Kimmel Show. Social media outlets like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and now Reddithave been leveraged into makeshift media platforms to deconstruct narratives and disseminate information counter to corporate media spin. However, these same outlets are now routinely censoring journalists, blocking accounts and using algorithms to slow down viral news stories exposing truth. Newer blockchain-based technologies that cannot be censored are attempting to gain a foothold in the content creation space previously dominated by the big three Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, yet the adaption has been slow. Whistleblowing platforms and online safe houses like WikiLeaks and others are devastating corporate media narratives and unethical government agendas. Over the recent weeks, floods of internal, classified documents have been released containing historically damning evidence. Everything from Soros-funded cultural revolutions to weaken, divide and conquer populations to Democratic National Committee (DNC) stealing elections has been discovered. According to WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, their largest leak containing October surprise level information aimed at Clinton/DNC will be released any day now. The mainstream media has ignored all the leaked information choosing to frame those crimes and criminals implicated leaks as victims of cyberhacking. Corporate media also continues to push the nonstarter narrative that the leaks are perpetrated by the Russians. Jefferey Jaxen is an independent journalist, writer, and researcher. Focusing on personal empowerment and alternative health, his work reveals a sharp eye to capture the moment in these rapidly changing times. His personal page is located at JeffereyJaxen.com, where this first appeared. If we have to depend on Zuckers FB, and Googles Youtube were in big trouble. Ministry of Truth Google owned YT has rolled out its new HEROES volunteer censorship program that can take down any website or comments considered taboo. Financial Times is reporting Google is looking to buy Twitter. We need to decentralize quickly and get active in our communities. This is! the Totalitarian-tip-toe juggernaut inexorably in progress. Look into an older Internet protocol called gopher. Gopher sites can serve up text, html, jpg, png, gif, mp3, mp4, pdf. Gopher sites too are seldom indexed by larger search providers. There do exist specific gopher search engines though, Veronica being one. Yes there are a few hurdles with gopher. It can still serve the functions required. I have been hole hunting for a bit recently finding blogs in gopher space. Theres also something Groundhog which can provide users with a text based weather forecast for the area of choice. There are also news and current event gopher spaces. If you use Firefox look up the Overbite add on. It will lead you to a good entry point of gopher space allow Firefox to recognize the gopher protocol. There are also graphical gopher programs for Linux, fairly sure some for windows as well. You do realize that many uninformed people like myself just watched your comment whizz straight over our heads. I take it you believe that alternatives are available to F/B, Google if you have the know how. Any chance that some enterprising bunch will be able to put together alternatives to enable users to divest from F/B Google without taking a crash course in IT? ICAAN flips on October 1 so Assange better not wait too long to leak his docs. Tell me if you know, since ICANN is a California nonprofit entity, are they going to reincorporate it, keeping the name? Or, have they already done that. I noticed 2+ years ago that the location of ICANN had been moved to the Middle East, and sent in various protests. None were answered. In part, the removal of ICANN from California must be to avoid legal jurisdiction in California courts. I only know that the buzz is ICANN will lose its control over the internet at the end of September. Then the internet will be up for grabs and it looks like the UN will be the final holder of the internet which means it will become an extension of globalists. Which is why I suggested that if Assange has plans for a doc dump, it might be a good idea to do so before the end of the month. Yes, of course. They sure like to glitz up the screen. Another reason I turned them off. They all spew their own twisted view point. no matter how unfair or how unbalanced. Facebook has been the CIA since its inception. The number of times, Facebook has suppressed and censored real news is extraordinary. Look at Zuckerbergs total investment from day one, and from whom the technology for Facebook was stolen. Same with Amazon. Total investment by Bezos and his family was $300,000 (maybe less). 70% of Amazons products are made by slaves, but no one cares. So, whether its the sharing of everything you think, buy, say, do with the sharing of your photos with the government, and the deposit of that information in the 40 acres of commercial, top security, secret space in Utah manned by the US Government and their friends, 99% of Americans dont care who makes their goods or who sees their photos and views. The cell phone is the last connection that most folks have to content of any kind. No one is looking at the world around them or considering the issues and questions, except to mindlessly adopt the consensus reality. Many thanks for the link which I have printed off, though it will probably be beyond my scope(I cant even locate port 70), but there is a useful passage on page 9/12 which I understand(from programming in Basic and such using BBC Micros in 1981) Im not joking. 
2	Backlash After This Shop Owner Decided To Ban Muslims Recently, Jan Morgan, the owner of the Gun Cave Indoor Shooting Range in Arkansas has just made the controversial decision of declaring the business a Muslim-Free Zone. According to Morgans website, her decision was based on extensive research into the Koran. She goes one to cite the Koran for ten reasons supporting her decisions. She also notes several incidents involving Muslims using violence on Americans related to religious beliefs, including the beheading of an American in Oklahoma, the Boston marathon, and many others. This is more than enough loss of life on my home soil at the hands of Muslims to substantiate my position that Muslims can and will follow the directives in their Koran and kill here at home, Morgan concludes. According to Morgan, the Koran contains 109 verses commanding hate, murder, and terror against all human beings who refuse to submit or convert to Islam. She claims that her decision is both a service and a responsibility. I not only have the right to refuse service but a RESPONSIBILITY to provide a safe environment for people to shoot and train on firearms, concludes Morgan. Although she does acknowledge that not all Muslims are terrorists, she underlines the fact that the majority of terrorist attacks fall at the hands of Muslims. Of course, many have spoken out against Morgans policies, claiming that they are racist. What do you think of the Muslim-Free Zone? Does Morgan have a right to run her business this way? 
3	1 in 36 Americans Are Tied up in the Prison System And Thats a 20-Year LowBy Carey Wedler According to a report released in December, the total number of incarcerated people in the United States rose by a margin of 1,900 in 2014. However, the increase was not across the board. As the analysis explains, During 2014, the number of inmates incarcerated in state or federal prisons or local jails increased slightly (up 1,900),reversing a 5-year decline since 2008, but the number of inmates in prison specifically actually dropped by 1%. Even so, the number of inmates in jail rose 1.8%, ultimately netting a gain (or loss, if you oppose mass incarceration). In 2014, 744,600 inmates were incarcerated in jails, whereas in 2013, there were 731,200 inmates. Further, 2,222,500 total inmates were held in both jails and prisons in 2013, but by 2014, there were 2,224,400 (the increase of 1,900). This element of the report indicates mixed trends in the U.S. prison population. As the report noted, the drop in prison populations (versus jail or the two combined) resulted from a decline in the state (down 10,100) and federal (down 5,300) prison populations. This was the second consecutive decline in the federal prison population after peaking in 2012 (217,800). While this is good news, other details in the report reveal the severity of the U.S. investment in incarceration. The BOJ report found one in 36 Americans (2.8%) was under some sort of correctional supervision in 2014, whether behind bars or in community supervision programs, which include probation and parole. Ultimately, this represents a decline in the total number of people under supervision. After peaking at 7,399,600 persons in 2007, the report reads, the correctional population decreased each year by an average of 1.0%. By year end 2014, the population declined by 0.8% to the lowest level observed in more than a decade (6,886,800 in 2003). About 1 in 36 adults in the United States was under some form of correctional supervision at yearend 2014. This was the lowest rate observed since 1996 (5,531,300) when about 1.3 million fewer offenders were under correctional supervision. (The ACLU has previously documented the rate at 1 in 35, though their report does not provide a source) Despite the widespread attention mass incarceration has received over the last few years, these findings reveal it has actually plagued the United States far longer. The exponential increase in prisoners in the United States has been attributed to a variety of factors over the years. From the the increase in for-profit prisons that often require 90% or higher occupancy rates, to the continued imposition of the Drug War, the prison population skyrocketed. According to the Sentencing Project, a research and advocacy group that campaigns for reform in the prison system, the rate of imprisonment in the U.S. has grown 500% over the last 40 years. The federal prison population ballooned 800% over the last 30 years. Though the overall number of prisoners rose 0.8% in 2014, the BOJ report highlights partial reason to be optimistic, noting an overall decline in the correctional population over the past 7 years (down 488,900 offenders), which includes inmates and those under supervision after being released. Further, only seven of 47 jurisdictions accounted for almost 50% of the correctional population, demonstrating the problem is not even distributed across the country. In light of recent reforms to drug laws, including the widespread legalization of marijuana, California voters 2014 decision to release nonviolent criminals from incarceration, and a similar effort enacted by the Department of Justice, there may be fewer Americans to imprison in coming years.

1	After more than two decades of describing the Vietnam War as a living hell, and an endless, indescribable horror beyond all words, Americas Vietnam veterans finally admitted yesterday that the war was, in fact, not that bad. Contrary to what we have said all these years, National Viet-nam Vet-erans Asso--c-ia-tion president Charles Murphy said, Vietnam simply was not that bad. In fact, it was quite enjoyable. We really are a big bunch of babies. Following the NVVA announcement, veterans across America acknowledged the wars positives. The jungle battles with the Vietcong were the best part, said Walter Kinchen, 45, who served three tours from 1969 to 1971. A lot of times, youd look the enemy in the eye, and instead of killing each other, youd exchange phone numbers and become friends. Theyd show us their hidden forts, and wed invite them back to our bases to check out imported American amenities like name-brand cigarettes and booze. Kinchen said he also picked up a serious heroin addiction in Vietnam, a habit he still enjoys to this day. Theres no natural high that can match it, he said. Not even love. David Peters, a Houston businessman, was stationed near the village of Nhat Than from 1971-3. Im just glad the war wasnt like it was in Apocalypse Now or Platoon, Peters said. That wouldve been really bad. Operation Dumbo Drop and a little bit of Good Morning Vietnam is a little more true to our experiences. Added Peters: The thing is, everybody talks about the piles of dead bodies rotting in the fields. But no one ever talks about the cotton candy and carnivals. In his announcement, Veterans Association president Murphy also admitted that, contrary to what veterans have claimed until now, the Vietnam experience is not something beyond the average civilians comprehension. For so long, weve told people, If you werent there, you wouldnt understand it, Murphy said. Well thats simply not true. If you werent there, you could easily open up a book and get a very good sense of what it was like. There are plenty of books out there with detailed descriptions and vivid color pictures. You certainly didnt need to actually be there to get a feel for it. Kevin Stallings, a Boston-area accountant who was stationed near Le Thuy from 1972-3, remembers many good times. A lot of times, in between fighting, wed go down to this great seafood restaurant in Da Nang and just hang out and drink for hours, Stallings said. Then wed usually find some beautiful local girls and take them back to a motel and have sex with them. And often they would become our beloved wives. Stallings has three beautiful children in Southeast Asia thanks to his exciting war-time sexual exploits. Veteran John Randolph, who as a member of the 56th Delta Division was badly injured by enemy fire during a raid on Haiphong, said that although he has had numerous recurring nightmares over the past 20 years, they have been largely unrelated to the war. Theres this really bad one where Im back in college, and Im taking a huge calculus final, but I dont know any of the stuff because I forgot to go to class all semester, Randolph said. God, it seemed so real, it was frightening. 
2	Muslim In California Chases His Neighbor Down The Street With A Sword According to recent reports, a Muslim man named Mohamed Elrawi was just arrested after chasing his neighbor with a sword during a dispute. Elrawi reportedly yelled, I would die and kill for Allah! as he ran after his terrified neighbor. Following the event, a search warrant was obtained for the search of Elrawis home. Detectives located a Koran and many other pieces of evidence that indicate that he was an Islamic extremist. Meanwhile, the media is doing everything they can to paint all Muslims living in this country as victims of unfair prejudices. These events are happening right before our eyes, everyday. Who is the victim here? The problem is, you rarely find out who is radicalized until it is too late. 
3	Netanyahu and Rahm Emmanuel Agree: Never Let a Crisis Go To WasteBrandon Turbeville After days of both air and sea-based military strikes against Palestinians living Gaza, Israeli tanks have crossed the border and are now pushing even deeper into the tiny sliver of land. According to Israeli military statements, Israel has called up 48,000 reserve troops as well as 18,000 additional soldiers which were called upon on Thursday, July 17. So far, the death toll in Palestine has reached around 260. There has been only fatality on the Israeli side, a soldier who was killed in the northern part of Gaza. Approximately one third of Palestinian casualties are women and children. All of this occurs, of course, in the face of immense apathy on the part of the Western public or even unfortunately amidst fanatical, albeit misguided, support. Yet even the activist communities who would have been focused on drawing attention to the slaughter taking place in Gaza have now been drawn off target as they follow the details of a downed plane in Ukraine, an apparent false flag designed to attract world attention and drum up support for a NATO confrontation with Russia. Clearly, the world oligarchy is not letting a good crisis go to waste. Netanyahus statement is, of course, very similar to the sentiment expressed by former Obama Chief of Staff, Chicago Mayor, and former civilian volunteer for the Israeli Defense Forces, Rahm Emmanuel when he stated that You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that, its an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before. Thus, it is important to remember that, whenever mainstream press outlets begin coverage of a subject that takes on a life of its own 24 hour a day coverage and constant updates that, while it may very well be a legitimate issue, it may just as likely be a sleight of hand. Notes: [1] The Netanyahu quote is provided by Al-Jazeera. However, the original source, according to Al-Jazeera is the Israeli journal Hotam, November 24, 1989. Recently from Brandon Turbeville: Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

2	Oprah Says All Whites Are Racist, Even If They Dont Use The NOprah has long been criticized for her controversial opinions about racism in America. Recently, in an interview with Larry King, Winfrey went on to discuss the trials and tribulations she faces as a black woman in America. Im not the person who pulls the race card, Oprah says, hypocritically. Of course, she then goes on to continue her rant about racism. Meanwhile, following the interview she returned home to her mansion. Watch the flip below and tell us what you think. 
2	Atheist Group Demands Removal Of Memorial For Beloved Teacher At Middle School According to recent reports, the Freedom from Religion Foundation recently wrote to school officials in West Virginia about images used in a memorial commemorating a teacher who had recently passed away. The FFRF reportedly contact administrators at Ravenswood Middle School over the memorial of JoAnn Christy. The former teacher had worked at the school for more than 25 years before she died in an accident in 2004. The school was criticized for religious undertones in the memorial. A garden on the school campus contains a display with crosses, Bible verses and angels in honor of the beloved teacher. She touched so many lives, including mine, Ravenswood Mayor Michael Ihle said of Christy. This is a small token in remembrance of her at a place she loved. She was taken too soon from us. The First Amendment mandates that schools cannot advance or promote religion, so thats what this display is doing, claimed Patrick Elliot of the Freedom from Religion Foundation. Now, attorneys at the FFRF claim that they did not know the purpose of the memorial at the time of their letter, but the inclusion of religious images is still a violation of the law. Whatever the purpose of the schools garden display, that purpose can be achieved without the use of sectarian religious symbols and biblical passages, Elliot continued. The school board removed the majority of the items in question, but left the angels embedded in the concrete to honor the fact that Christy collected angels. What do you think? Is the FFRF taking their agenda way too far? 
3	Chicago: Americas Police Repression CapitalStephen Lendman, Contributor Cops were everywhere. In partial lockdown, my building was affected. Some residents felt unsafe to go out. With well-armed police in riot-gear, knowledgeable Chicagoans know the risks of getting in harms way. Anyone can be targeted for any reason. Cops are notoriously brutal. They have carte blanche authority to operate with impunity. They take full advantage. Victims pay dearly. Theyre harassed, abused, beaten, detained, and falsely charged. From Friday through Monday, affected areas reflected battleground conditions. Sunday was worst of all. Ive lived here since 1969. Several months after arriving, police and FBI agents murdered Black Panther leaders Fred Hampton and Mark Clark while they slept. December 4, 1969 remains a day of infamy. It wasnt the first or last. In his book FBI Secrets: An Agents Expose,M. Wesley Swearingen quoted FBI agent Gregg York saying: We expected about twenty Panthers to be in the apartment when the police raided the place. Only two of those black niggers were killed, Fred Hampton and Mark Clark. Before he died, Hampton said: You can kill the revolutionary, but you cant kill the revolution. How many peoples lives were ruined in countless ways by a government intent on destroying them as representatives of an enemy political organization. Enemy ideas included full employment, decent housing and education, justice, peace, and ending police brutality. It continues relentlessly. Tactics include beatings and torture. Chicago cops may be worst of all. From 1972 1991, detective Jon Burge got away with torturing over 200 detainees. Instead of dismissal and prosecution, he was promoted. Dozens of victims complained. Suits followed. Finally, after 21 abusive years, he was fired. Community outrage stopped a March 1993 Fraternal Order of Police plan to honor him with a float in the annual St. Patricks Day parade. On October 21, 2008, he was indicted on two counts of obstructing justice and one count of perjury. On June 28, 2010, he was convicted on all counts. Hes the exception that proves the rule. It took decades for partial justice. Few police are prosecuted, almost never one of high rank. Burge rose from street cop to detective commander. Over two decades, he got 13 commendations and a Justice Department letter of praise. His crimes were well-known. A code of silence hid them. He was honored until his luck ran out. He got off mildly. He received four and half years in prison. Speaking for the Black community, Mark Clements said: This is ridiculous. This is a smack in the face once again to the African-American community. This is a complete injustice. He wasnt charged with torture. With time off for good behavior, hell likely be freed next year. What about other victims of Chicagos tortured past? Blacks and Latinos are most harmed. So are street protester activists. For over 40 years, the Peoples Law Office documented and successfully (fought) for the civil rights of victims of police brutality, wrongful convictions, false arrests, and other government abuses. They defend activists wrongfully targeted for their political beliefs, organizing, and social justice activities. They and others spoke out against police tactics during NATOs Chicago summit. On May 21, a National Lawyers Guild (NLG) press release said: Police instigated unprovoked violence. Mostly it occurred on Sunday. It was largely at the so-called NATO security perimeter. Video footage documented it. NLG estimated at least 60 arrests and over two dozen serious injuries. Most needed hospitalization. Cops show no mercy. Chicago ones prove it regularly. According to NLGs Sarah Gelsomino: Police completely overreacted to protesters approaching the security perimeter and unleashed a violent attack on them without an ability to disperse. Many of the injuries from the police attack were serious, including several people who sustained baton blows to the head. Victims had head injuries, broken bones, and teeth knocked out. Those arrested were mostly nonviolent. Nonetheless, charges made include disorderly conduct, reckless conduct, resisting arrest, and failure to disperse from public streets theyre legally entitled to be on. On May 22, the Chicago Tribune headlined Summit ends without giving Chicago a black eye, saying thatMayor Rahm Emanuel said: We have reached another milestone in Chicago history. By hosting NATO.we have reinforced, reaffirmed and revitalized Chicagos role on the worlds stage.(W)eve shown the world that we are a world-class, first-class city. The city didnt devolve into 1968 redux, said the Tribune. It wasnt the combustible battle in Seattle. Police brutality victims have other views. Nonetheless, the commentary said Chicagos turn as host of the NATO summit could be declared a success. It proved a one-weekend blip on the radar of a major urban metropolis used to crowds, conventions, dignitaries and hoopla. Chicago spent tens of millions of badly needed dollars hosting NATO. Last May, Emanuel announced draconian budget cuts. After one year in office, they mostly affect the citys poor, public workers, schools, teachers, general services, healthcare, public housing and transportation. His transitional report announced hundreds of millions in planned cuts during his first term. Pensions were cut for new hires and current employees. Their underfunded total approaches $15 billion. Poor communities suffer grievously. They resemble underdeveloped nations. Black infant mortality matches the West Bank. Life expectancy replicates Egypt. Over one-fourth of Chicagoans have no health insurance. Black poverty and unemployment rage out of control. Latino residents fare almost as poorly. The citys dynamics favor its privileged much like most elsewhere across America. At the same time, privatizing city services continues. Public schools are affected. Chicago remains business friendly. Ordinary Chicagoans lose out. More cuts are planned. Emanuel increased police visibility. Theyre mandated to maintain order by any means. Last May Garry McCarthy was appointed new superintendent. Garry is ready to lead, said Emanuel. His experience spearheading innovation will bring new ideas to the Chicago Police Department. Previously he headed Newarks police department (NPD). Last May, the US attorney said his administration was being investigated for excessive force, detainee mistreatment, discriminatory policing, and retaliation against individuals involved in monitoring police conduct. In September 2010, the ACLU submitted NPD misconduct complaints to the Justice Department. It requested federal oversight. It said Newark paid $4.8 million since 2007 to settle 38 charges brought by city residents. Dozens of lawsuits were filed. Emanuel likely wants Chicagoans treated the way Newark residents were under McCarthy. Perhaps he earned his bona fides during NATO summit weekend. Chicagos poor and minority populations already suffer enormously from deepening economic, social, and political hardships. The citys privileged benefit greatly. The other Chicago faces growing poverty, unemployment, home foreclosures, lack of affordable housing, appalling public schools, and police brutality. Its also the nations youth murder capital. In January, the Community Renewal Society said more than 530 young people were killed since 2008. In Q I 2012, the toll rose 50% year-over-year. Blacks and Latinos are disproportionately affected. Chicagos homicide rate more than doubles New York and Los Angeles. A new sit-down/shut-up ordinance increased fines for nonviolent civil disobedience. Peaceful protests are included. Other provisions mandate jail time and strict permit guidelines to demonstrate. Organizers must provide descriptions of any sound amplification or other equipment that is on wheels or too large to be carried by one person and description of the size and dimension of any sign, banner, or other attention-getting device that is too large to be carried by one person, to be used in connection with the parade. Enacted for NATO summit weekend, Emanuel declared it permanent. After one year in office, hes already Chicagos worst mayor. He declared war on working Chicagoans. His draconian budget cuts are policy. So are privatizations and deregulation. Chicagos run by marketplace rules. Police brutality rages. Get tough on crime mandates reassigned 1,000 cops to largely poor Black and Latino neighborhoods. Disadvantaged Chicagoans never had it worse. Step out of line and taste violence Chicago-style. Bad as things are now expect worse ahead. Publicly challenging city mandates risks cracked skulls, fines and jail time. On Monday, a Chicago Tribune editorial said (w)ell done, CPD. Despite locking down the city for days, disrupting life for downtown residents, excessive police brutality, false arrests, charging three innocent victims with conspiring to commit domestic terrorism, and overall police state thuggishness, Obama praised city officials during a Monday press conference, saying thatChicago proved (it) knows how to put on a world-class event. (He) could not be prouder to welcome people from around the world. Chicago showed extraordinary hospitality during NATOs summit. NATOs invasion was unwelcome. It is undisciplined and violent wherever it shows up. Brutalized Chicagoans experienced it firsthand. They wont soon forget.

3	FBI Tracked Chattanooga Shooters Family for YearsBy Tony Cartalucci Without any knowledge of how the US has in fact created Al Qaeda and its many global affiliates, including vicious terrorist groups plaguing Southeast Asia, and the most notorious to date, the so-called Islamic State (ISIS), the American public will predictably react in a manner that will simply further justify Americas meddling across the globe amid its self-created and perpetuated War on Terror. It will also help in efforts to further tighten control over the American public itself, with increased justifications for expanding police state measures and future pushes to disarm the American people. Yahoo News would report in their article, Shootings at Chattanooga military facilities leave 4 Marines, gunman dead; act called domestic terrorism, that: A U.S. official told the Associated Press that Abdulazeez had not been on the radar of federal law enforcement before Thursdays shooting. But also added: His father had been investigated several years ago for possible ties to a foreign terrorist organization and added to the U.S. terrorist watch list, according to a report in the New York Times, but that probe did not surface information about Abdulazeez, the paper said. This means that yet another case of domestic terror has involved someone either investigated by the FBI, entrapped by an active FBI operation where FBI investigators posed as terrorist leaders and walked a patsy through every step of a terrorist attack before arresting them and thus foiling the attack, or linked directly to someone the FBI was investigating. Ironically, the immense omnipresent police state the West has erected to combat the so-called terrorist threat, including the total surveillance of all communications online and across all telecommunication networks, at home and abroad under the National Security Agency (NSA) will only expand, despite it once again apparently failing, and despite attempts by special interests on Wall Street and in Washington to claim this latest attack again somehow circumvented these already sweeping measures. Meanwhile, The US Continues Supporting Extremists Abroad And while this latest attack is passed off as a domestic terrorist attack and the result of Islamic extremists, rather than a false flag event, the US continues to openly support the very terrorists it claims threatens its homeland and has inspired these sort of attacks. Just recently, the Washington Post literally allowed a spokesman of Al Qaeda to defend his factions role in the fighting in Syria, and his condemnation of the United States for not rendering more aid for the cause of overrunning and destroying the Syrian nation a goal the US itself is likewise pursuing. Labib Al Nahhas, head of foreign political relations for terrorist organization Ahrar al-Sham, wrote in his Washington Post op-ed titled, The deadly consequences of mislabeling Syrias revolutionaries, that: Stuck inside their own bubble, White House policymakers have allocated millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to support failed CIA efforts to support so-called moderate forces in Syria. But these moderate groups have proved to be a disappointment on nearly every count, not least of all in confronting the Islamic State. He also states: That question should prompt Washington to admit that the Islamic States extremist ideology can be defeated only through a homegrown Sunni alternative with the term moderate defined not by CIA handlers but by Syrians themselves. Essentially, the Washington Post afforded a terrorist organization space to make an appeal to the American public for military support. Ahrar al-Sham regularly coordinates with and fights within operations led by Al Qaedas Al Nusra Front, a US State Department designated terrorist organization from which ISIS itself sprung. Al Nusra and Ahrar al-Sham are described as the closest of allies by Western think-tanks and media reports. It is also revealed that Ahrar al-Sham worked along side ISIS itself. A Stanford University report under Mapping Militant Organizations explained (emphasis added): Ahrar al-Sham quickly became one of the largest military organizations operating in Syria, and it has been active in efforts to unite the Islamist opposition under a single banner. It rejects the idea of Western intervention but sometimes works alongside Free Syrian Army brigades. It routinely cooperates with al-Nusra and, until relations soured in 2013, also worked with ISIS. In February 2014, the U.S. Director of National Intelligence called Ahrar al-Sham one of the three most effective rebel groups in Syria. The Washington Post isnt the only voice in the Western media promoting Al Qaeda. Foreign Policy in 2012 abhorrently proclaimed, Two Cheers for Syrian Islamists: So the rebels arent secular Jeffersonians. As far as America is concerned, it doesnt much matter. As much as an admission that the US is backing what is essentially terrorism in Syria, the Foreign Policy article attempted even then to promote the alleged pragmatism of supporting Al Qaeda to eliminate Americas foreign enemies. This includes Yemen, Libya, and even Egypt where ISIS most recently managed to hit an Egyptian naval vessel with a missile. Foreign Policy would again weigh in. Their article, Islamic State Sinai Affiliate Claims to Have Hit Egyptian Ship With Missile, states: The use of a guided missile to strike an Egyptian ship represents a higher level of technological sophistication than what has been previously observed in Sinai attacks. It is unclear, however, exactly what kind of missile was used in the attack, beyond the militant groups claim that it was a guided munition. Militant groups in the region have in the past used guided missiles to attack government ships in the Mediterranean. During the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah, an Iranian anti-ship missile fired by the militant group struck the Israeli warship Hanit, badly damaging the vessel and killing four crew members. Of course, Foreign Policy and others across the Western media will be quick to point out that Hezbollah is a state-sponsored militant organization which receives its weapons from Syria and Iran. The question then becomes how ISIS replicated this level of technological sophistication, and which state-sponsors put the missiles into their hands. The US supporting Al Qaeda is not really news. Al Qaeda was initially a joint US-Saudi venture to create a mercenary army to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan during the 1980s. This mercenary army would again fight Russian interests in Serbia and Chechnya before eventually being used as the pretext for US invasions and occupations of both Afghanistan and Iraq from 2001 onward. In 2007, it was revealed that the US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel sought to use the terrorist organization to raise a proxy military front to overthrow Syria and Iran. The resulting bloodbath in Syria beginning in 2011 is the operational execution of this documented conspiracy. Al Qaeda and its various affiliates serve both as a proxy mercenary front to strike where Western forces cannot, and a pretext to invade abroad. It also serves as a constant justification for increased tyranny at home. With the most recent shooting carried out by yet another target of the FBIs investigations, and the predictable divisive backlash that will follow, it is assured that the American public will be further blinded to the fact that this so-called Islamic extremism was born in Washington and on Wall Street, in Riyadh and Tel Aviv, not in a mosque or springing forth from the pages of the Quran. In fact, the vast majority of the worlds Islamic people are locked in mortal combat with the Wests mercenary terrorist forces, with tens of thousands of them having shed their blood fighting Al Qaeda everywhere from Libya to Egypt, to Iraq and Syria. While the US attempts to pose as the leading power in the fight against extremism, its token airstrikes deep within Syrian territory are quickly undone by the torrent of supplies it itself oversees flooding into Syrian territory. For every fighter killed by a US airstrike, 10 more are being trafficked in through US and NATO-run networks stretching as far afield as Xinjiang, China. The US presence in Iraq and Syria serves simply as one of several planned stepping stones to eventually and directly intervene militarily in toppling either or both governments, before moving on to Tehran. The War on Terror is a fraud, and each terrorist attack a carefully orchestrated means of further perpetuating that fraud. Tony Cartaluccis articles have appeared on many alternative media websites, including his own at Land Destroyer Report, Alternative Thai News Network and LocalOrg. This has psy-op written all over it. How many of the sheeple are going to fall for it a lot probably. Yep, all part of the ISIS plot created by NSA/CIA/Mossad to keep Americans in perpetual fear, and perpetual military dollars flowing israhell.

1	Saying the expansion would ensure the facility is adequately prepared for upcoming challenges, officials at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp announced Wednesday that they had broken ground on a new geriatric care wing. Our senior care center will be located immediately adjacent to Camp Delta and will contain all of the essentials our detainee population will need in the years ahead, including easy-access ramps from the confinement block to the exercise yard as well as wall-mounted grab bars and no-slip mats in the shower area, said Brigadier General Marion Garcia, who added that the facilitys 116 beds and each of its various enhanced interrogation rooms would be located on the ground floor so that inmates will not have to go up or down any stairs when moving about, thereby avoiding unnecessary strains on their joints and helping to prevent falls. We also plan to mount defibrillators throughout the corridors and in every solitary confinement cell, and make sure that our on-site clinic is stocked with ample stores of hypertension medicines and BPH treatments. As our detainees needs change, so will our facility. Garcia added that the new space would be able to make use of a number of supplies already in the detention camps possession, including its stock of feeding tubes and Ensure. 
1	Noting the lack of any social causes, amusing hashtag games, or major news stories currently stimulating public conversations on their site, Twitter officials announced Monday that there are no trending topics today, but suggested that perhaps something might catch on tomorrow. Normally, our site displays a list of newsmakers and issues currently capturing the worlds attention and engaging users in discussion, but it doesnt look like people are really talking about anything today, said Twitter interim CEO Jack Dorsey, adding that a few new hashtags started popping up in users posts earlier in the day, but every single one failed to become popular. Some days, even if a famous person dies or theres a big protest somewhere, people just arent interested. Maybe something might pop up and start trending later. Well absolutely put it up on the site if thats the case, but until then were not going to force it. At press time, a company spokesperson confirmed that the hashtag #NothingTrendingOnTwitter was failing to gain much momentum. 
1	Saying they held no grudge against him and were just glad he was back where he belongs, a group of cultural footnotes from the 1990s announced today that they were happy to welcome home former Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich. 'We told him there wasn't a place for him in 2012, but Newt's always been a bit stubborn,' said Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale, who spoke to reporters at a festive gathering that also featured Whitewater prosecutor Kenneth Starr, television personality Arsenio Hall, the bumblebee girl from the video for the Blind Melon song 'No Rain,' and former NBA forward Dennis Rodman. 'All that matters now is that he's home safe, tucked away with the rest of us in a sidebar of late-20th-century Americana. As long as he promises never to leave again, all is forgiven.' At press time, Gingrich was seen tearfully embracing participants in the Million Man March.

2	Trump Does Complete 180.... Hillary Is Done According to reports from RedStateWatcher, President-elect Donald Trump now intends to ask his ambassadors to investigate the Clinton Foundation. There has been a new twist in the investigation into the Bill Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, Sandra Smith at Fox News reported. The President-elect has already promised not to dig into the organization personally, a new report from New York Post indicates he will instead ask his new ambassadors to move it forward. Ambassadors to certain countries may be asked to pressure to the governments for which they are the liaison to commence their own investigations into their relationships. The two countries targeted in particular are Haiti and Colombia. What do you think? Could this be the nail in the coffin for Clinton? 
3	Taxation is Theft: EU EditionBy James Corbett Regardless of whether he knew it or not, Apple CEO Tim Cook just learned that lesson the hard way. In 2013 the European Commission began investigating Apples tax deals with Ireland. In 2014 it came out with its formal allegation, namely that the taxation deals worked out between the government of Ireland and Apples Irish subsidiaries in 1991 and 2007 constituted a violation of Article 108(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (which, as we all know, relies on Article 107(1)s definition of activities incompatible with the internal market of the EU). This scrutiny naturally comes in response to Apples employment of the trusty old double Irish with a Dutch sandwich tax strategy, among other gambits. Clear as mud? Good. Heres the non-gobbledygook explanation: the state is a group of gangsters running a protection racket. You can play by their rules and jump through their hoops as much as you like, but when they decide youre getting too big for your britches they swoop in to take you down a peg. In this case, the loser is Apple. The tech giant has just been handed a bill by the European Commission for 13 billion euros in back taxes for breaking laws that didnt exist when they broke them. Or guidelines. Or interpretations of article treaties. Or something. The absurdity of the situation is encapsulated in Cooks Message to the Apple Community in Europe in which he vows to fight the decision: We now find ourselves in the unusual position of being ordered to retroactively pay additional taxes to a government that says we dont owe them any more than weve already paid. The Irish government, for their part, are equally confused. Irish Finance Minister Michael Noonan told Irish broadcaster RTE on Monday that: As far as I am concerned there is no economic basis for this decision. He added: They [the European Commision] dont have responsibility for taxes and they are opening a back door through state aid to influence tax policy in European countries when the European treaties say tax policy is a matter for sovereign governments. Apple is happy with their tax arrangement with Ireland. Ireland is happy with their tax arrangement with Apple. But the EUreaucrats are the bigger gangsters, so they are demanding their pound of flesh. Now before the false dilemma fallacy is invoked, let me make it crystal clear: this is no defense of Apple Inc., its police state control grid indoctrination gadgets (and patents), its cozy relationship with law enforcement agencies, its easily hackable (and backdoorable) products, or its pretense of standing up to the FBI while secretly opening giant back doors for the Chinese government (and who knows who else). Apple is a vile state-collaborating monstrosity that is more interested in preserving its walled gardens than contributing to the open source revolution that will (hopefully) destroy it. No, Corbetts Law pertains here: in this contest between Apple and the EU there is no good guy to root for. But we have to examine this fight from the broader perspective of the precedent that is being set here. As Ive pointed out before, the global taxation grid is being slotted into place in the name of fighting the evil multinationals and their global tax loopholes. The very same tax information sharing agreements that are already being hammered out by the OECD behind the scenes to get the big bad corporations are also ready to start scooping up, databasing and sharing information on every individual in every participating country, too. We are truly entering the global tax grid, and it will be ruled over by the very types of EUreaucrats (or their global government equivalents) who can decide on a whim that your current taxation level is unfair and arbitrarily hand you a bill for back taxes. Welcome to our future globalist nightmare. None of this is surprising from a voluntaryist perspective. The implicit assumption of taxation is that the mob (sorry, the state) has a rightful claim to a portion of your earnings. Once that has been accepted, the only question is what percentage between 0% and 100% they are going to claim, and that is almost always a measure of how much they think they can take before a revolt happens. Theres an apocryphal story sometimes attributed to Lord Beaverbrook. Upon meeting a famous American actress of the day, he supposedly asked: Would you live with a stranger if he paid you one million pounds? She said she would. And if he paid you five pounds? The irate lady fumed: Five pounds. What do you think I am? Beaverbrook replied: Weve already established that. Now we are haggling over the price. Once you assign legitimacy to the ruling class mobster state and their demand on your wages the mobsters have already established what you are. Now theyre just haggling over the price. Somehow I doubt thats the lesson that the mainstream media will take away from this story, though. You can read more from James Corbett at his site TheCorbettReport.com, where this article first appeared. there is no tangible Apple entity.just shareholders that are going to get screwed. What makes you think Apple is surprised by this. Sure it may be their reaction for the public, but this just another means to indirectly siphon money from others to government. Apples days are certainly limited now with the inability to squeeze more transistors into the chip. The wall has been met and the informed know this. Government is big business. Dont think for a moment that Apple is not part of this transfer of funds from Apple to the government great writing!

3	The U.S. Government Is Monitoring All Phone Calls, All Emails And All Internet ActivityMichael Snyder Former NSA employees have come forward and have described exactly what is taking place, and this surveillance activity has been reported on by prominent news organizations such as the Washington Post, Fox News and CNN, but nobody really seems to get too upset about it. Either most Americans are not aware of what is really going on or they have just accepted it as part of modern life. But where will this end? Do we really want to live in a dystopian Big Brother society where the government literally reads every single thing that we write and listens to every single thing that we say? Is that what the future of America is going to look like? If so, what do you think our founding fathers would have said about that? Many Americans may not realize this, but nothing that you do on your cell phone or on the Internet will ever be private again. According tothe Washington Post, the NSA intercepts and stores an astounding amount of information every single day Every day, collection systems at the National Security Agency intercept and store 1.7 billion e-mails, phone calls and other types of communications. The NSA sorts a fraction of those into 70 separate databases. But even the Washington Post may not have been aware of the full scope of the surveillance. In fact, National Security Agency whistleblower William Binney claims that the NSA has collected 20 trillion transactions involving U.S. citizens In fact, I would suggest that theyve assembled on the order of 20 trillion transactions about U.S. citizens with other U.S. citizens. So the NSA must have tremendous data storage needs. That must be why they are building such a mammoth data storage center out in Utah. According toFox News, it will have the capability of storing 5 zettabytes of data The NSA says the Utah Data Center is a facility for the intelligence community that will have a major focus on cyber security. The agency will neither confirm nor deny specifics. Some published reports suggest it could hold 5 zettabytes of data. (Just one zettabyte is the equivalent of about 62 billion stacked iPhones 5s that stretches past the moon. Are you outraged by all of this? The U.S. government is spying on the American people and yet they continue to publicly deny that they are actually doing it. Last week, this government spying program was once again confirmed by another insider. What former FBI counterterrorism agent Tim Clemente told Erin Burnett of CNN is absolutely astounding BURNETT: Tim, is there any way, obviously, there is a voice mail they can try to get the phone companies to give that up at this point. Its not a voice mail. Its just a conversation. Theres no way they actually can find out what happened, right, unless she tells them? CLEMENTE: No, there is a way. We certainly have ways in national security investigations to find out exactly what was said in that conversation. Its not necessarily something that the FBI is going to want to present in court, but it may help lead the investigation and/or lead to questioning of her. We certainly can find that out. BURNETT: So they can actually get that? People are saying, look, that is incredible. CLEMENTE: No, welcome to America. All of that stuff is being captured as we speak whether we know it or like it or not. Yes, all of that stuff is most definitely being captured and it is time for the Obama administration to be honest with the American people about what is actually going on. Meanwhile, the recent bombing in Boston has many of our politicians calling for even tighter surveillance. For example, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg recently said that our interpretation of the U.S. Constitution will have to change to deal with the new threats that we are facing. More smart cameras are going up in New York, and Bloomberg says that we are never going to know where all of our cameras are. The following is from a recent RT article New York City police officials intend to expand the already extensive use of surveillance cameras throughout town. The plan, unveiled Thursday, comes as part of a drive for increased security around the US following the Boston Marathon attack. New York City Police Department Commissioner Ray Kelly announced the plan during a press conference with Mayor Michael Bloomberg, in which the two announced that the suspected Boston Marathon bombers were planning to attack New York next. The pair said they hope to discourage criminals by using so-called smart cameras that will aggregate data from 911 alerts, arrest records, mapped crime patterns, surveillance cameras and radiation detectors, among other tools, according to The Verge. Youre never going to know where all of our cameras are, Bloomberg told reporters gathered outside City Hall. And thats one of the ways you deter people; they just dont know whether the person sitting next to you is somebody sitting there or a detective watching. Will you feel safer if the government is watching you 100% of the time? Do you want them to see what you are doing 100% of the time? You might want to think about that, because that is where all of this is headed. In fact, the truth is that spy cameras are not just going up all over New York City. Most Americans may not realize this, but a network of spy cameras is now going up all over the nation. The following is an excerpt from one of my previous articles You are being watched. The government has a secret system a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. That is how each episode of Person of Interest on CBS begins. Most Americans that have watched the show just assume that such a surveillance network is completely fictional and that the government would never watch us like that. Sadly, most Americans are wrong. Shocking new details have emerged this week which prove that a creepy nationwide network of spy cameras is being rolled out across the United States. Reportedly, these new spy cameras are more accurate than modern facial recognition technology, and every few seconds they send back data from cities and major landmarks all over the United States to a centralized processing center where it is analyzed. The authorities believe that the world has become such a dangerous place that the only way to keep us all safe is to watch what everyone does all the time. But the truth is that instead of saving America, all of these repressive surveillance technologies are slowly killing our liberties and our freedoms. America is being transformed into an Orwellian prison camp right in front of our eyes, and very few people are even objecting to it. For many more examples of how the emerging Big Brother surveillance grid is tightening all around us, please see my previous article entitled 19 Signs That America Is Being Systematically Transformed Into A Giant Surveillance Grid. Meanwhile, Barack Obama is telling us to reject those that are warning us about government tyranny. The following is what he told the graduating class of The Ohio State University on May 5th, 2013 Unfortunately, youve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity thats at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. Theyll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices. So what do you think? Should we just ignore all of the violations of our privacy that are happening? Should we just ignore what the U.S. Constitution says about privacy and let the government monitor us however it wants to?

3	Smart Meter Fires: Burning Meters, Burning Questions, Shocking AnswersBy Josh del Sol So-called smart meters have caused thousands of fires and explosions such as this fire on Wednesday in Ontario. But corrupt politics and money have swept the whole thing under the rug. Brian explains how and why this is all occurring, including reams of evidence and court documents. This is exactly what your utility does not want you to see. Watch now: Video topics include: Previously-documented smart meter fires have caused fatalities (see here, here, here, and here). And hundreds of thousands if not millions of smart meters have been recalled and or replaced (see here, here, here, and here). The most terrible thing is this: most people simply dont know. Its been covered up, worldwide. And most still dont know that smart meters are part of a global corporate agenda of unprecedented in-home surveillance, systemically increasing utility bills, facilitating hacking and remote shut-offs, and are causing widespread human functional impairment from pulsed microwave radiation hundreds to thousands of times stronger than a cellphone. Weve had a hell of a time getting this info out. This is a clandestine agenda which affects everyone. Their agenda, however, is beginning to crack. And those causing or allowing smart meter deployments will be individually held to account. Please share this. Watch Take Back Your Power here to learn more.

A note from Brian on this video: For brevity, I did not even mention the issues with batteries in the meter or the advanced corrosion caused by meters (discussed in previous video here) which BC Hydro is now admitting is happening with their very own power poles. The laws of electricity tell us this is not going to go away and in fact now may even be getting worse. It is up to us to educate our firefighters as utilities wont and top brass are only concerned about getting their pensions.

3	Report: DOJ spy planes scooping up Americans cell phone dataPaul Lawrance Its called the U.S. Marshal Service Program, which has a stated goal of hunting down criminals suspects and terrorists. According to people familiar with the program, the DOJ is flying Cessna aircraft out of at least five metropolitan-area airports, with flying ranges that cover virtually the entire U.S. population, the WSJ reports. From the WSJ: Planes are equipped with devicessome known as dirtboxes to law-enforcement officials because of the initials of the Boeing Co. unit that produces themwhich mimic cell towers of large telecommunications firms and trick cellphones into reporting their unique registration information. The technology in the two-foot-square device enables investigators to scoop data from tens of thousands of cellphones in a single flight, collecting their identifying information and general location, these people said. People with knowledge of the program wouldnt discuss the frequency or duration of such flights, but said they take place on a regular basis. Cellphones automatically search for the strongest tower signal to connect to when in service. The dirtboxes are able to identify themselves as the strongest signal, even if they are not, to force mobile phones to siphon off data. The technology is able to pinpoint a mobile device within ten feet, making it possible to know where a suspect is located in a house or building. The dirtboxes can also jam call signals and intercept text messages and photos, reports the WSJ. According to those familiar with the program, similar devices are used overseas in combating terrorism in war zones. The Justice Department refused to confirm or deny the existence of the Marshal Service Program but said that leaking any information of such actions could aid foreign powers and undermine U.S. national security, a line which has been used by agencies like the NSA when caught red-handed spying on the general public. The DOJ did state to the WSJ that the Department does seek court approval when conducting such activity. Christopher Soghoian, chief technologist at the American Civil Liberties Union, called the program a dragnet and said that it likely stretches far beyond the understanding of any judge who might approve of such a spying operations. Since September reports of fake cellphone towers being found around the United States have caught the attention of many Americans. In the middle of September over a dozen of fake cellphone towers were reportedly found near the White House and Senate. These data scooping devices are commonly called stingrays and are used by the agencies like the NSA and by police departments. Watch: Mystery Solved: The Truth About Fake Cellphone Towers Any American using the service of the large telecom companies has likely been violated by this program considering is ability to cover such a large portion of the country. ATT and Sprint have both declined to comment on the revelations. As with all of the federal spying, the general publics privacy is being surrendered in the name of fighting crime.

2	Trace Adkins Just Pulverized THIS Hollywood ATrace Adkins is the gentle giant of the country music scene. Trace is a soft-spoken man with the voice of an angel. So why did he hit Mark Whalberg? Well he had every right to. Trace is playing a character in the film Deepwater Horizon. He plays a character that must gain information from Marky Mark. Marks character is already broken and beaten when he arrives at Traces feet. Traces role is very small but a pivotal point in the movie. He was honored to be a part of the film due to his past on the rigs. Trace said that it was one of the hardest things he had to do in his life. He has never been a violent man. So, when he was told to beat up a man who is begging to not be heat it was difficult. Marks entire body was bloodied and bruised and his leg dragged on the floor. Trace told the director that he would never hit a man when he was down. It just was not in him to be that rough with a man down on his luck. The director knew exactly what he had to do. What he did is pretty crazy because Trace is a BIG Man. The director knew he had to make Trace angry. He began to punch trace in the chest. He pushed him backwards while screaming at him to do his job. He screamed that he was weak and he couldnt do the part if his life depended on it. The director stood toe to toe with a huge man just to get him angry. Funny thing is, it worked. Trace got pissed off and began yelling back. The director immediately ran back to his chair and called action. The scene went beautifully and Trace delivered the lines with an angry fury. You can see Trace in the amazing movie! Could you take a Trace Adkins punch? 
2	VIDEO: New Video PROVES Tony Stewart Tried To Avoid Fellow Driver Debates continue over the accident that resulted in Tony Stewart taking the life of 20-year-old driver Kevin Ward. Although there have been claims regarding what really happened that night, there is some video evidence that may give insight into the incident. Although there is no evidence that Stewart made contact with Ward, the 20-year-old made the decision to get out of his car during a high speed race on a dimly lit track. Further, the video shows that Ward was narrowly missed by the first driver that passed by him. Still, he continued to walk out toward the track, and just seconds later the tragic accident took place. Video evidence shows that Stewart was heard thromping on the throttle in an attempt to turn his car away from Ward. And although there were caution flags waving, the track was slick and muddy, and even at a 20 to 30 mph speed, the scene was set for disaster. Ward made a decision when he got out of that car, and he took a risk. While investigations are underway into the incident, there is nothing as of yet that points to foul play on Stewarts part. There arent words to describe the sadness I feel about the accident that took the life of Kevin Ward Jr., Stewart said in a public statement. What do you think? Is Stewart misfortunate or guilty? 
1	Following a pedestrian stop Monday night during which they fired their weapons on a suspicious individual, patrol officers for the Fayette County Police Department were pleasantly surprised to discover the man they shot was armed, sources confirmed. Well, what do you knowhe really was carrying a gun, said officer Dustin Hayes, smiling upon finding a 9mm pistol on the body of the 23-year-old individual shortly after the policeman and his partner discharged their firearms a total of 19 times. I honestly had no idea if he had a handgun, so its pretty great to find one right there tucked into his waistband. This makes the rest of our week a whole lot easier. Officers said they were further relieved after discovering the man had a petty theft charge on his record, ensuring they were 100 percent off the hook. 
2	Apple Makes INCREDIBLE Stand Against Muslims, But Now Theyre In Serious Trouble According to recent reports, a Muslim car mechanic and his daughter are suing Apple for $10 million, after accusing employees in Staten Island of refusing to service their iPhone because of their religion. Elsayad Sobhi clams that he and his teenage daughter, Norhhan, were threatened and thrown out of the store because she was wearing a traditional headdress. The incident took place at the Heartland Village outlet, when Sobhi reportedly went to have to iPhone fixed by an employee, according to the lawsuit files in the Brooklyn Supreme Court. The suit claims that while the employee was working on the phone, Sobhis daughter joined them. The worker saw her headdress and refused to continue repairing the phone. Sobhi also claims that Apple employees tried to detain them for undisclosed reasons. He believes he was discriminated against and he believes that that type of behavior has become a reaction toward his community, claims Theodore Alatsas, the Sobhis lawyer. The lawsuit claims that the employees discriminated against them and refused service by virtue of their Muslim identities. Apple is yet to comment on the issue. What do you think of the incident?

3	Researchers Unveil Technology Allowing a Plane to Heal Itself in Mid-FlightBy Cassius Methyl A team of scientists from the University of Bristol has quietly developed the technology over the last few years. Now, the leader of this team says self-healing technology should hit consumer markets in the very near future. Examples cited included self-healing nail polish and self-repairing cracked phone screens. The Independent described the technology: The teams ingenious solution started on the back of an envelope but has since developed into useable technology. It involves adding tiny, hollow microspheres to the carbon material so small that they look like a powder to the human eye which break on impact, releasing a liquid healing agent. The agent seeps into the cracks left by the damage before coming into contact with a catalyst, triggering a rapid chemical reaction which causes it to harden. We took inspiration from the human body, said head of the team, Professor Wass. Weve not evolved to withstand any damage if we were like that wed have a skin as thick as a rhinoceros but if we do get damaged, we bleed, and it scabs and heals. We just put that same sort of function into a synthetic material: lets have something that can heal itself. Tests have determined that the hardened material is just as stable as the original, so planes will be able to heal themselves in mid-flight and be as functional as they were before being damaged. It seems like this technology is being developed relatively quickly and is yet another technological advancement that will come to fruition in the next five years. It has the potential to completely change the world we live in. Consumers will undoubtedly benefit from prolonged utility of things like cell phones and cars thanks to self-healing tech. Air travel will become ever safer. However, thisnew technology also raises questions regarding the rapid growth of autonomous machinery, computers and drones. Do we really want armed, autonomous drones flying around with the ability to repair themselves? What if the artificially intelligent machines decided to stop listening to us one day, as Tesla CEO Elon Musk has warned about? Thats a question that should be answered before these what ifs become reality. Cassius Methyl writes for TheAntiMedia.org, where this article first appeared. Tune in!

2	Whoopie And Rosie Getting The View Thrown Off The Air Because Of THIS... Rosie ODonnell and Whoopi Goldberg have been stirring controversy since taking over the daytime talk show The View from Barbara Walters this year. Not surprisingly, the show has also seen a major dip in ratings. The brass at ABC feels like theyve tried to do everything possible to breathe new life into this show, claims on ABC insider, who said that the network is strongly considering ending the show. Theyre ready to abandon ship at this point. ABC feels its exhausted their options with The View and now its time to expand the existing franchise, Good Morning America. According to reports, Rosies $4 million contract ends this year, although Whoopis contract (worth $1 million more) does not expire until next year. Whoopi is the winner either way, claims the source, who notes that she gets paid for the full length of her contract even if the show is cancelled. Shes wanted out of this contract for years and begged to be let go during the show overhaul last summer. To get paid to just go home would make her very happy.

3	Plant Police: Garden Shopping Trip Results in Fully Armed DEA SWAT RaidLily Dane In another disturbing case of government agency overreach, the DEA raided the home of a woman whom they observed leaving a hydroponics store carrying a green plastic bag containing unknown items. The contents of that bag? Organic fertilizer for her hibiscus plants. Last September, Angela Kirking bought the fertilizer at Midwest Hydroganics in Illinois. Three weeks later, her home was raided at 5 am by four DEA agents and five Shorewood, Ill., police officers, Kirking said: The result of the raid? Agents found 9.3 grams of marijuana (less than one-third of an ounce) and slapped Kirking with two misdemeanors. Kirkings lawyer, former prosecutor Jeff Tomczak, is trying to have the search warrant and the two misdemeanor charges thrown out. He said her visit to the garden store was the sole reason for the entire investigation. 100 percent nothing else, he said, calling that far too thin a thread on which to base a search warrant, the details of which are questionable: The judge signed the warrant because Kaminski wrote that he detected a strong odor of green cannabis in one of Kirkings trash bags, and said her homes electric bill was higher than that of her neighbors. Another officer conducted a field test (which are notoriously flawed) on a green plant stem, which allegedly tested positive for marijuana. Tomczak pointed out that an application for a search warrant for a different Midwest Hydroganics customer stated that police had found no evidence of marijuana plant residue in the trash and suggested that was evidence a suspect was covering up his marijuana grow. Will County Judge Bennett Braun said he would decide whether to toss the search warrant (whc would end the case) later this month. Kirking said she hopes the judge finds the warrant invalid and that the garden stakeouts end: What lesson can we learn when growing flowers and vegetables casts a shadow of suspicion over you? Perhaps there are too many vacancies in the industrial prison system the DEA just has to go out and drum up some business. Creating criminals out of thin air your tax dollars at work.

'The vet just casually asked me to bring in a sample, like I'd automatically know how to do that,' Burkhard said. 'Do I take Sneakers for a walk and then stick a cup under him at just the right moment? Or do I, like, fasten a cup to his genitals with a belt and wait for him to eventually go? Either way, I'm probably looking at some sort of really unpleasant dog-piss-related situation.' 
3	18 Little-Known Gun Facts That Prove That Guns Make Us SaferMichael Snyder This is the exact opposite of what the mainstream media would have us believe, but it makes sense. You see, the reality is that criminals really, really, really dont want to get shot. When you pass strict gun control laws, you take the fear of getting shot away and criminals tend to flourish. Just look at what is going on in America today. The places with the highest crime rates are the major cities where strict gun control laws have been passed. In some of those cities the police are so overwhelmed that they have announced that they simply wont even bother responding to certain kinds of crime anymore. The truth is that the government cannot protect us adequately, and that is one reason why millions of preppers are arming themselves and gun sales have been setting new records year after year. Unfortunately, the mainstream media and many of our politicians seem absolutely obsessed with trying to restrict our constitutional right to own guns. They are waging a relentless campaign to try to convince the American people that guns are bad. But is that actually the case? Of course not. The following are 18 little-known gun facts that prove that guns make us safer #1 Over the past 20 years, gun sales have absolutely exploded, but homicides with firearms are down 39 percent during that time and other crimes with firearms are down 69 percent. #2 A study published in the Harvard Journal of Law Public Policy discovered that nations that have more guns tend to have less crime. #4 Almost every mass shooting that has occurred in the United States since 1950 has taken place in a state with strict gun control laws With just one exception, every public mass shooting in the USA since at least 1950 has taken place where citizens are banned from carrying guns. Despite strict gun regulations, Europe has had three of the worst six school shootings. #5 The United States is #1 in the world in gun ownership, and yet it is only 28th in the world in gun murders per 100,000 people. #7 Approximately 200,000 women in the United States use guns to protect themselves against sexual crime every single year. #8 Overall, guns in the United States are used 80 times more often to prevent crime than they are to take lives. #9 The number of unintentional fatalities due to firearms declined by 58 percent between 1991 and 2011. #10 Despite the very strict ban on guns in the UK, the overall rate of violent crime in the UK is about 4 times higher than it is in the United States. In one recent year, there were 2,034 violent crimes per 100,000 people in the UK. In the United States, there were only 466 violent crimes per 100,000 people during that same year. Do we really want to be more like the UK? #11 The UK has approximately 125 percent more rape victims per 100,000 people each year than the United States does. #12 The UK has approximately 133 percent more assault victims per 100,000 people each year than the United States does. #13 The UK has the fourth highest burglary rate in the EU. #14 The UK has the second highest overall crime rate in the EU. #15 Down in Australia, gun murders increased by about 19 percent and armed robberies increased by about 69 percent after a gun ban was instituted. #16 The city of Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the United States. So has this reduced crime? Of course not. As I wrote about recently, the murder rate in Chicago was about 17 percent higher in 2012 than it was in 2011, and Chicago is now considered to be the deadliest global city. If you can believe it, there were about as many murders in Chicago during 2012 as there was in the entire nation of Japan. #17 After the city of Kennesaw, Georgia passed a law requiring every home to have a gun, the crime rate dropped by more than 50 percent over the course of the next 23 years and there was an 89% decline in burglaries. #18 According to Gun Owners of America, the governments of the world slaughtered more than 170 million of their own people during the 20th century. The vast majority of those people had been disarmed by their own governments prior to being slaughtered. Sadly, you rarely hear any facts like these on the mainstream news networks. Instead, they give countless amounts of air time to the radicals that are obsessed with gun control. And did you know that there is now an official propaganda manual that has been put out for gun control advocates? This manual actually encourages gun control advocatesto emotionally exploit major shooting incidents to advance the cause of gun control Democratic strategists have drafted a how-to manual on manipulating the publics emotions toward gun control in the aftermath of a major shooting. A high-profile gun-violence incident temporarily draws more people into the conversation about gun violence, asserts the guide. We should rely on emotionally powerful language, feelings and images to bring home the terrible impact of gun violence. The 80-page document titled Preventing Gun Violence Through Effective Messaging, also urges gun-control advocates use images of frightening-looking guns and shooting scenes to make their point. The most powerful time to communicate is when concern and emotions are running at their peak, the guide insists. The debate over gun violence in America is periodically punctuated by high-profile gun violence incidents including Columbine, Virginia Tech, Tucson, the Trayvon Martin killing, Aurora and Oak Creek. When an incident such as these attracts sustained media attention, it creates a unique climate for our communications efforts. You can read the rest of that manual right here. So will those pushing gun control win, or will the American people be able to see through the propaganda and insist on keeping their constitutional right to bear arms?

2	BREAKING: Obama And Hillary Officially Charged With Aiding Terrorists According to recent reports, the Egyptian government has just charged President Obama and Hillary Clinton with being accessories to terrorism. The charges stem from the partnership the duo formed with the Muslim Brotherhood, which has been declared a terrorist group by Egypt. The charges state that Obama acted as an accessory to crimes committed by the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt claiming that he cooperated, incited, and assisted the armed elements of the Muslim Brotherhood in the commission of crimes. Although the United States State Department does not list the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, it is well known that they have ties to Hamas. The charges against Clinton claim that she worked to overthrow General Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, the current leader of Egypt. She is also charged with being in contact with Naglaa Mahmood, the wife of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, who was ousted by a military coup in 2013. Together, Obama and Clnton are being accused with giving the Muslim Brotherhood nearly $8 million to open up the Sinai Peninsula to Hamassomething the Egyptian government is deeming bribery. What do you think? Can you blame Egypt for questioning the loyalties of Obama and Clinton? 
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? 
1	Doubled over a garbage can backstage at a local auditorium, a trembling, heavily perspiring Donald Trump reportedly shook his head back and forth and muttered in between bouts of nervous vomiting Friday that there was no way he could go out on stage for a campaign rally. Dont make me go up there and talk in front of all those people, pleaseI cant do it, I just cant, said the Republican presidential frontrunner, beads of cold sweat matting his hair to his wan brow, and loudly dry heaving as aides handed him a glass of water and attempted to calm his nerves by pointing out that he had done this plenty of times before and assuring him that people really enjoyed his speeches. I cant handle itnot again. Theres too many people, and theyre all looking at me. Its too much pressure. What if I mess up? Oh, God, I can hear them chanting now. No, no, no. At press time, aides had grabbed Trump by the shirtsleeves and were dragging the struggling, whimpering candidate toward the stage as Were Not Gonna Take It played over the loudspeakers. 
1	Calling it a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and more exciting and enlightening than he could have ever imagined, Marcus Hayes, 22, returned home Monday after spending nearly two months getting his wallet stolen across Europe. Hayes takes a day trip to Pisa to see the leaning tower and lose all of his travelers cheques. 'It was incredibleI got to see and learn so much,' said Hayes, who had more than $700 forcibly removed from his person in some of the Old World's most captivating cities. 'The Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Parthenon in Greece, the downtown police station in Venice. This whole trip just really broadened my horizons.' 'For instance, did you know that Madrid has some of the finest art museums in the world?' Hayes continued. 'And that it's a really bad idea to walk around with all your cash there at night?' The recent college graduate, who had never before traveled outside of the United States, much less marveled at the famed Sistine Chapel ceiling as two strange men accosted him from behind, said the trip exposed him to a variety of new and interesting cultures. 'Back home in Illinois, I was always hanging out with the same old people and going to the same old places,' Hayes said. 'But suddenly, there I was in Berlin, chatting it up with two cute German girls outside a hip dance club. Yes, they ran off with my bag and all my credit cards, but I never would have known to visit Charlottenburg Palace if it weren't for them.' 'It's the oldest Prussian palace in Germany,' Hayes continued. 'At least that's what the sign out front said. I didn't have any money to take the tour.' During his two-month-long excursion, Hayes visited 16 European countries. Along the way, the wide-eyed American saw firsthand the grandeur of Moscow's Red Square, had 30 euros lifted from his pants pocket while wandering through Istanbul's mesmerizing Grand Bazaar, and returned from the annual Calcio Storico festival in Florence to find his room at the local youth hostel thoroughly ransacked. Hayes even managed to learn a few helpful foreign phrases during his travels, and now knows enough Dutch to say 'Please leave me alone' and 'Stop, I really need this wallet to get home.' 'I tried to tell them that I'd just been robbed a few hours earlier, but I guess my accent still needs a little work,' Hayes said. 'They took my money, of course, but they were really relaxed and mellow about it. I guess that's part of the chilled-out Dutch vibe I've heard so much about. Even the way that guy was holding his knife up to my throat felt totallyI don't knowEuropean.' While Hayes had already soaked in more culture and history than he ever expected, the last few weeks of his trip didn't disappoint. Additional funds wired to the college graduate by his parents were reportedly snatched by an elderly Romanian woman, dressed in a traditional fot skirt, and pretending to need assistance crossing the street. Furthermore, the 22-year-old was taken for nearly $75 while visiting a quaint little chess shop in the Czech Republic, whose soft-spoken owner, a man from a long line of skilled craftsmen, knowingly gave Hayes the wrong denomination in change. According to sources, Hayes had his wallet stolen seven other times by street children in Albania, Latvia, Hungary, Serbia, Ukraine, and Poland. Though his trip had come to an end, and he was now back home in Illinois, the American tourist said he would always treasure the memories of his first time spent traveling abroad. 'It was really nice while it lasted, and I'm a little sad that it's over, but at least I'll always have photos to remember my trip by,' said Hayes, unpacking his suitcase and belongings Monday. 'Oh, for the love of Christ! My camera! Those assholes took my goddamn camera.' 
3	No Warrant Needed for Drug Wiretaps in IllinoisClarence Walker On July 24, citing police safety and the need for quicker drug arrests, Gov. Pat Quinn (D) signed into law House Bill 4081, which exempts police doing drug investigations from the provisions of the states eavesdropping law. It also allows them to audio or videotape drug suspects without having to get a warrant. Under the bill, sponsored by state Reps. Jehan Gordon (D-Peoria) and William Haine (D-Alton), the normal requirement of a warrant based on probable cause is replaced by the lower and constitutionally-suspect requirement of only reasonable cause. In a further victory for the imperatives of the drug law enforcement, police will be able to bypass judicial scrutiny of their need to record someone and instead will merely have to obtain prior approval from a prosecutor to listen in on suspected drug conversations. The world of illicit drugs moves very quickly, explained Terry Lemming, an Illinois State Police commander, during a May hearing on the bill. Its very difficult to find a judge in the middle of the night. I didnt see the sense in spending all these hours drafting a court order when I could have already gone out and arrested a guy selling on the corner and thats the feeling of many narcotic officers. The law is critical to undercover narcotic officers for several reasons, he wrote in an email. First, its an officer safety issue because many times backup teams are blocks away when drug transactions either take place in cars, within homes or apartments, or just on the streets. Weitzel even went as far as to say the law would benefit defendants, too. The legislation will help secure better evidence for prosecutors and protect suspects from police misconduct, including the fact the same audio recordings made by police can be used by defendants who claim entrapment, he argued. But while the bill is now law, not everyone is happy about it. Rumblings of discontent have been heard from civil rights advocates, legal experts, and opposing lawmakers. State Sen. Dan Kotowski (D-Park Ridge) argued during hearings on the bill that if judicial responsiveness is a problem for police, then the fix would be to make judges more available for warrant requests not to take them out of the loop. Im struggling with taking away where youd go to get a judges approval to have a wiretap, he said. Under the new law, judges are not completely frozen out of the process, but their role is limited to determining whether evidence gained from a wiretap can be admitted at trial. I understand the desire to enhance law enforcement tools to deal with crime, and I am certainly on the side of law enforcement, but its a very slippery slope we go down when we start removing safeguards that has historically exist to make sure certain tools not be used inappropriately, state Sen. Kwame Raoul (D-Chicago) told the Chicago Tribune. State Sen. Michael Nolan (D-Elgin) also weighed in on the matter. Nolans dissatisfaction with the bill is the fact the new law deals with reasonable cause as the standard for having private conversations recorded, as opposed to probable cause, which is the standard bearer for the integrity of the law. This legislation does not base that determination of admissibility on probable cause,' he said. This is basically upending the Fourth Amendment. The ACLU of Illinois had a similar reading. Its spokesman, director of communications and public policy Ed Yohnka, told the Chronicle the new law was not only constitutionally suspect but also unnecessary. In all the years that Illinois law enforcement worked for this change, they never been able to point to a particular need for this new power. In many years, we have seen drug related arrests in Illinois rise over a yearly period without this new authority which begs the question: is this power really necessary? he asked. The legislature should have left things alone because judges act as a neutral third party and they can already act fast enough, Yohnka continued. Our personal conversations are the most intimate we have and government should make certain it is necessary to intrude before engaging in eavesdropping. For Yohanka, the new law doesnt pass the smell test. He noted that current law already allows police to wiretap or do audio recording in an emergency and suggested the real intent is to allow police to more easily listen in on targets not directly involved with drug trafficking, targets merely associated with a prime suspect. The current law permits an officer to conduct warrantless wiretapping or audio-recording if police or citizens were in imminent danger, Yohanka said. The creation of this new authority suggests this is not about protecting police officers. What makes the new law all the more galling to some is that police, who can now wiretap drug suspects without a warrant, have a habit of arresting members of the public who do the same thing to them. Under current Illinois eavesdropping law, citizens have the right to video a police officer making a public arrest, but a person cannot record an audio of police without permission. Drew went public and fought to have the law declared illegal and earlier this year he won a partial victory when Circuit Court Judge Stanley Sacks declared it unconstitutional. Sacks ruled that the law criminalized innocent conduct and violated due process. But state prosecutors appealed the ruling and vowed to keep it on the books. One standard for police, another for citizens. Police can record private conversations without a warrant, but citizens face years in prison if they record police in the line of duty at least until the Illinois courts definitively rule that portion of the eavesdropping law unconstitutional. Meanwhile, look for legal challenges to the new law allowing police to bypass judges and the warrant process in their never-ending war on drugs.

'Sadly, Milner's family has a history of terminal French-fried potatoes, with his father, sister and several uncles dying of it,' family friend Richard Winningham said. 'Chuck first contracted fries during childhood, and it intensified into cheese fries during adulthood, becoming, in his final days, full-blown chili-cheese fries.'

Recently, a Reddit user posted a picture entitled, Spot The Thief! They challenged users to find the thief among a crowd of people. Of course, most people are immediately drawn to the blue shack, which looks to be a retail location. Its a reasonable assumptionbut it is incorrect. SPOILER ALERT: Were about to tell you where the real thief is below. Instead of looking in the distance, pay attention to the woman in the main frame of the picture. If you look closely, you can see a magnetic lock of the shirt that she is wearing. Its clear that the woman probably snagged a shirt from the store, and did not pay for it.

2	Hillary Gets Nasty Surprise The Second She Gets Off The Jet... Watch Closely [VIDEO] With just weeks until the election, Hillary Clinton has been desperately targeting blue collar workersa group that has been consistent in favoring Donald Trump. Any glimmer of hope she may have had is likely gone after she exposed her intentions to shut down goal mines. If you want to know how Hillarys efforts are coming alongjust look at what happened in Ohio. When Hillary tried to gain a hold of Ohio borders, the miners gave her a rude awakening. Her campaign sent her husband Bill to wrangle up some supporters. Apparently, they thought he would appeal to the hard working miners and the middle class. And Bill thought it was a good idea to wear a lumberjack flannel shirt to the occasions. This plan quickly backfired in Youngstown, Ohio, when he was greeted by a group of miners and families who were there to protest against him. They were even touting Trump/Pence signs. Sending Bill Clinton today to coal country is nothing more than an election-time political stunt to attempt to spin her heartless rhetoric against miners and the fact she is endorsed by nearly all the radical environmental groups, Chris Palich, president of the Ohio Coal Association, told reporters. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
3	China Is Dumping U.S. Government Debt at an Alarming RateBy Joshua Krause We may be about to find out, since lately, China has been dropping US government bonds like hot potatoes. After the Chinese government devalued the yuan in August, their currency experienced a massive sell-off by investors who feared that more devaluations were ahead. To contain the situation, Chinas central bank has been buying up their own currency while selling their dollar reserves. And China isnt alone either. By July, Russia had sold $32.8 billion in US Treasury debt, and Brazil and Taiwan have been dumping the dollar as well. All of these countries used to be our biggest customers. India has actually increased its holdings, but it hasnt been nearly enough to offset what weve lost. Foreign purchases of US treasury notes and bonds have been in the red throughout 2015, and peaked to about $123 billion in loses last summer; the largest decline since we started keeping track in 1978. While the trend is still young, it appears that the global dollar sell-off has begun in earnest. Image Credit Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple.

2	BREAKING: ARREST ROCKS OBAMA ADMINISTRATION According to recent reports, Democrat Rep. Chaka Fattah received the devastating news on Tuesday that he had been found guilty of 29 counts of bribery, money laundering, racketeering and fraud. Fattah is a longtime friend and ally of President Obamas. Reports from The Political Insider note that each of the charges related to conspiracy, falsification of records and mail fraud carry a prison sentence of up to 20 years. For Fattah, that probably means life in jail. Fattah and four of his associates were charged for borrowing $1 million from a donor during his unsuccessful campaign for Philadelphia mayor. He later repaid part of the loan by using funds from charitable and federal grants he received through his nonprofit. Other reports indicate that the Justice Department believes Fattah used funds from his mayoral and congressional campaigns to help pay off his sons student loan debt. He then accepted bribes while trying to secure an ambassadorship or appointment to the U.S. Trade Commission for former Philadelphia Deputy Mayor Herbert Vederman. As if all of that werent enough, the indictment also revealed that Fattah agreed to help award federal grant money to a political consultant, if he would forgive a $130,000 campaign debt. What do you think? You are the company you keep, and this doesnt look good for Obama. 
3	The State of the UnionDave Hodges Congratulations to those that have awakened, see the hopelessness of our collective situation, and I want to extend my best wishes to the smart ones who are leaving our lawless country in record numbers. If you are thinking about leaving the country, you should know that the new immigration bill even has an Iron Curtain provision which tries to make it very difficult for the disenfranchised, the exploited middle class and the liberty lovers from exiting the country. Even my friends in foreign countries cannot believe that we have not already revolted against this tyrannical and out-of-control government. The fact is, we will never revolt against the tyranny which permeates our nation until life-threatening hunger and thirst force the issue. Hollywood, instead of making movies about Zombies should focus on the real zombies: the 90% of the American people who are dead from the neck up. However, Hollywood does get it right with movies such as the Hunger Games, Elysium and World War Z to condition the public on how life is going to be. There is no justice in our country, only judicial power and corruption. Our judges dont follow the Constitution and our police are increasingly corrupt. Gangster organizations such as the Jon Corzine-led MF Global, can steal billions from investors and nobody goes to jail. Many child protective services, Dyncorpand Goldman Sachs can get caught running child sex slavery rings and nobody goes to jail. We have the five megabanks continuing to commit mortgage fraud and theft of personal property through MERS, and nobody goes to jail. Our leaders have murdered millions of innocent people in the Middle East, and nobody goes to jail. Goldman Sachs shorted stocks on 9/11, did so on the eve of the housing bubble, did so again on the eve of the Gulf oil explosion and nobody goes to jail. Nancy Pelosi admits on 60 Minutes that Congress can engage in insider trading and nobody goes to jail. A sitting ambassador and his security team can be murdered and rescue teams can be blocked from saving them and nobody goes to jail. Our government terrorizes a Florida nurse with a SWAT team who goes to the wrong house and nobody goes to jail. The Pentagon has announced that they illegally take orders from NATO and the UN and nobody goes to jail. A President can illegally spy on journalists, use the IRS to harass his enemies, expand the unconstitutional spy programs against the American people, have DHS declare war against Christians, veterans and constitutional supporters, begin to commit deliberate acts of treason by hosting and training foreign troops on American soil to confiscate guns, send guns to our enemies in al-Qaeda to foment the murder of a head of state in Libya and attempt to do the same in Syria, commit fraud through the use of a faked birth certificate, ship guns to gangsters in Mexico to undermine the Second Amendment resulting in the death of three Border Patrol personnel, assert the power to kill American citizens and then proceed to do so with drones and much more, and he does not go to jail. The police send jaywalkers in Portland, Oregon to jail, while law enforcement all across the country walk all over our constitutional rights on a regular basis and nobody goes to jail. Our citizens are increasingly jailed for filming the police, yet our government can film us anywhere, anytime for any purpose and nobody from the government goes to jail. In the land of the free and the home of the brave, we have over 25% of the worlds prison population because our prisons are being turned into for-profit-criminal enterprise organizations. In Kelo v. New London, the Supreme Court now allows the government to steal your property and give your property to their rich developer friends in violation of the Fifth Amendment. The 7th Circuit Court ruled last spring that the banks can legally steal your money after you deposit it. Federal pensions are being stolen by Jack Lew and the Treasury Department. Starting January 1, 2014, you will have money stolen from you by the IRS for not having healthcare insurance. We have a science adviser that wants to perform post-term delivery abortions (murder) up until the age of three. And we are being conditioned that this is the way that it is supposed to be. When a government kills its citizens with drones, permanently detains its citizens without due process. ships guns to foreign narco-terrorists and will bail out Goldman Sachs but not Detroit who declared bankruptcy and is now stealing pensions, we have a totally lawless government. When the government forces the country into unaffordable healthcare complete with death panels (IPAB) designed to prematurely kill off the old and the handicapped young, rigs its elections with electronic voting machines, the TSA molests the flying public without probable cause, kills its dissenting journalists, steals from the people to give to Wall Street; and when the price of food, oil, home utilities and prescription medication soars out of reach of the average person, the globalists will be well on their way to their agenda to deindustrialize, depopulate, and destroy the cultural and moral fabric of the country. America is on the verge of tax protests, the prevalence of ghost malls, protests over having our bank accounts ravaged, food shortages, food riots, the dramatic rise of homeless villages which will be called Obamavilles, uprisings from the unemployed, greatly increased organized gang activities with kidnappings and mass shootings. This is no longer America, it is Beirut and Baghdad. Our school system is a travesty. Over 30% of our children dont graduate from high school; in some places like Detroit, 60% dont graduate. We take what is supposed to be a state-run education system, federalize it and continue to destroy the system with flawed programs such as No Child Left Behind and the current program of Common Core without one shred of research that demonstrates that the programs work. Under a decade-plus of No Child Left Behind, SAT scores fell almost 30% in reading comprehension. The US has the most expensive education system in the world and the average student has a $25,000 predatory student loan debt. There are secret no-fly lists and political enemies lists constructed and enforced in the same manner as the KGB, the Stasi and the SS. Information continues to indicate that when martial law comes, over a million Americans, who have been branded a dissenter, will be rounded up. The government doesnt want violence to break out. However, they have prepared for massive civil unrest as DHS has accumulated 2700 armored personnel carriers and two billion rounds of ammunition. The President has all the martial law powers he needs in the NDAA, Executive Order 13603, the Patriot Act, the Civilian Inmate Labor Program, REX 84 and on and on it goes. Clearly, the globalists want the people to just lay down and take their beating by surrendering their guns and their civil liberties. Foreign troops are being trained to take our guns and when the shooting starts in the streets, there will be nowhere that is safe. I am just getting started on Americas State of the Union Amazingly, nobody does anything about it. Nobody gets mad and protests. We protest the death of Trayvon Martin with the goal of setting back our previously improved race relations by 60 years, but nobody protests our Wall Street gutted economy. We get the government we deserve. Our apathy, lack of moral integrity, lack of courage, our laziness, and our collective national ignorance are why this country is probably done. I seriously doubt if the 10% can successfully resuscitate the 90%. Facts mean nothing to the 90%. And when you confront them with the truth regarding the takeover of this country by the banksters, their eyes glaze over and they revert back to their programmed response and call you a conspiracy theorist. The truth about the present State of the Union is that there is no union and we live in a police state. America is defeated but all is not lost. I am reminded of the saying which says that Freedom is the space between the bars. Americans better get used to that idea and learn to operate in a different paradigm and learn to do so very quickly.

3	Scientists Discover How Magic Mushrooms Expand Our Mindsselfnews Post The study found that under psilocybin, activity in the more primitive brain network linked to emotional thinking became more pronounced, with several different areas in this network such as the hippocampus and anterior cingulate cortex active at the same time. This pattern of activity is similar to the pattern observed in people who are dreaming. Conversely, volunteers who had taken psilocybin had more disjointed and uncoordinated activity in the brain network that is linked to high-level thinking, including self-consciousness. Psychedelic drugs are unique among other psychoactive chemicals in that users often describe expanded consciousness, including enhanced associations, vivid imagination and dream-like states. To explore the biological basis for this experience, researchers analysed brain imaging data from 15 volunteers who were given psilocybin intravenously while they lay in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner. Volunteers were scanned under the influence of psilocybin and when they had been injected with a placebo. What we have done in this research is begin to identify the biological basis of the reported mind expansion associated with psychedelic drugs, said Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris from the Department of Medicine, Imperial College London. I was fascinated to see similarities between the pattern of brain activity in a psychedelic state and the pattern of brain activity during dream sleep, especially as both involve the primitive areas of the brain linked to emotions and memory. People often describe taking psilocybin as producing a dreamlike state and our findings have, for the first time, provided a physical representation for the experience in the brain. In comparison, activity in the different areas of a more primitive brain network became more synchronised under the drug, indicating they were working in a more co-ordinated, louder fashion. The network involves areas of the hippocampus, associated with memory and emotion, and the anterior cingulate cortex which is related to states of arousal. Lead author Dr Enzo Tagliazucchi from Goethe University, Germany said: A good way to understand how the brain works is to perturb the system in a marked and novel way. Psychedelic drugs do precisely this and so are powerful tools for exploring what happens in the brain when consciousness is profoundly altered. It is the first time we have used these methods to look at brain imaging data and it has given some fascinating insight into how psychedelic drugs expand the mind. It really provides a window through which to study the doors of perception. Dr. Carhart-Harris added: Learning about the mechanisms that underlie what happens under the influence of psychedelic drugs can also help to understand their possible uses. We are currently studying the effect of LSD on creative thinking and we will also be looking at the possibility that psilocybin may help alleviate symptoms of depression by allowing patients to change their rigidly pessimistic patterns of thinking. Psychedelics were used for therapeutic purposes in the 1950s and 1960s but now we are finally beginning to understand their action in the brain and how this can inform how to put them to good use. The data was originally collected at Imperial College London in 2012 by a research group led by Dr. Carhart-Harris and Professor David Nutt from the Department of Medicine, Imperial College London. Initial results revealed a variety of changes in the brain associated with drug intake. To explore the data further Dr. Carhart-Harris recruited specialists in the mathematical modelling of brain networks, Professor Dante Chialvo and Dr Enzo Tagliazucchi to investigate how psilocybin alters brain activity to produce its unusual psychological effects. As part of the new study, the researchers applied a measure called entropy. This was originally developed by physicists to quantify lost energy in mechanical systems, such as a steam engine, but entropy can also be used to measure the range or randomness of a system. For the first time, researchers computed the level of entropy for different networks in the brain during the psychedelic state. This revealed a remarkable increase in entropy in the more primitive network, indicating there was an increased number of patterns of activity that were possible under the influence of psilocybin. It seemed the volunteers had a much larger range of potential brain states that were available to them, which may be the biophysical counterpart of mind expansion reported by users of psychedelic drugs. Previous research has suggested that there may be an optimal number of dynamic networks active in the brain, neither too many nor too few. This may provide evolutionary advantages in terms of optimizing the balance between the stability and flexibility of consciousness. The mind works best at a critical point when there is a balance between order and disorder and the brain maintains this optimal number of networks. However, when the number goes above this point, the mind tips into a more chaotic regime where there are more networks available than normal. Collectively, the present results suggest that psilocybin can manipulate this critical operating point. The research was funded and intellectually supported by the Beckley Foundation. Professor Chialvo is from the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cientificas y Tecnologicas (CONICET), Argentina and Dr Tagliazucchi is based at Goethe University, Germany.

3	The Giant Currency Superstorm That Is Coming To The Shores Of America When The Dollar DiesMichael Snyder, Contributor Each year, we buy far more from the rest of the world than they buy from us, and so the rest of the world ends up with giant piles of U.S. dollars. This works out pretty well for them, because the U.S. dollar is the primary reserve currency of the world and is used in international trade far more than any other currency is. Back in 1999, the percentage of foreign exchange reserves in U.S. dollars peaked at 71 percent, and since then it has slid back to 62.2 percent. But that is still an overwhelming amount. We can print, borrow and spend like crazy because the rest of the world is there to soak up our excess dollars because they need them to trade with one another. But what will happen someday if the rest of the world decides to reject the U.S. dollar? At that point we would see a tsunami of U.S. dollars come flooding back to this country. Just take a moment and think of the worst superstorm that you can possibly imagine, and then replace every drop of rain with a dollar bill. The giant currency superstorm that will eventually hit this nation will be far worse than that. Most Americans dont realize that there are far more dollars in use in the rest of the world than in the United States itself. The following is from a scholarly article by Linda Goldberg So what would happen if that process suddenly reversed and massive piles of dollars started coming back into the country? It is frightening to think about. Well, I guess the key is to get the rest of the world to continue to have confidence in the U.S. dollar so that will never happen, right? Unfortunately, there are lots of signs that the rest of the world is accelerating their move away from the U.S. dollar. For example, it was recently announced that the BRICS countries are developing their own version of the World Bank And as I noted in a previous article, over the past few years there have been a whole host of new international currency agreements that encourage the use of national currencies over the U.S. dollar. The following are just a few examples 1. China and Germany (See Here) Will this movement soon become a stampede away from the U.S. dollar? That is a very important question. But you dont hear anything about this in the U.S. media and our politicians are not talking about this at all. Meanwhile, our leaders seem to be doing everything that they can to destroy confidence in the U.S. dollar. The Federal Reserve is printing money like there is no tomorrow, and the federal government continues to run up trillion dollar deficits year after year. They do not seem to understand that they are systematically destroying the U.S. financial system. Wow. Why cant most of our politicians see how destructive debt is? What the federal government continues to do is absolutely insane. The national debt increased by more than 24 billion dollars on the day after Thanksgiving this year. But utter disaster has not struck yet, and most Americans are not really that concerned about the debt. So things just keep rolling along. And of course our national debt of $16,309,738,056,362.44 is nothing when compared to the future liabilities that our federal government is facing. Just check out what a recent article in the Wall Street Journal had to say about all this Other economists paint an even gloomier picture. According to economist Niall Ferguson, the U.S. government is facing future unfunded liabilities of 238 trillion dollars. So where are we going to get all that money? Well, why dont we just print more money than ever before so that the U.S. government can borrow and spend more money than ever before? Dont laugh. That is actually what some of the top economists in the country are actually recommending. The most famous economic journalist in the entire country, Paul Krugman of the New York Times, is boldly proclaiming that the solution to all of our problems is to print, borrow and spend a lot more money. He insists that there is no reason to fear that the giant mountain of debt that we are accumulating will someday collapse the system Of course what he is prescribing is complete and utter madness. At some point this con game is going to collapse and the rest of the world is going to say a big, fat, resounding NO to the U.S. dollar. Why should they continue to use a currency that is becoming extremely unstable and that is constantly being manipulated? And when the rest of the world rejects the U.S. dollar, the value of the dollar will drop like a rock because there will be far less global demand for it. In addition, if the rest of the world is not using the U.S. dollar for trade any longer, other nations will cease to soak up our excess currency and huge mountains of our currency that are floating around out there will start flooding back to our shores. At that point we will be looking at inflation unlike anything we have ever seen before. The era of cheap imports will be over and we will pay far more for everything from oil to the foreign-made plastic trinkets that we buy at Wal-Mart. So enjoy this holiday season while you can. There are still lots and lots of cheap imports filling the shelves of our stores. Once the coming giant currency superstorm strikes, we will dearly wish for the good old days of 2012. Yes, the U.S. dollar is alive and ticking for now. But at the pace that our authorities are abusing it, I would not say that things are looking good for a long and healthy lifespan.

1	Lacking the exuberance, spontaneity, and airborne bodily fluids of previous all-night fuckfests, the first orgy since the passing of group-sex enthusiast Brian Hodge was a solemn and subdued affair, heavily lubricated sources reported Monday. Friends of the late Brian Hodge gather in quiet remembrance. 'Spirits were definitely low,' said Catherine Davis, who claimed that Hodge's accidental drowning was almost as unexpected as the time Scott Warner reached climax inside her mouth. 'We were clearly all hurting on the inside. Especially Marissa, who got double-teamed right from the start.' The orgy, which was marked by long stretches of silence despite the use of only two ball gags, began shortly before midnight when a number of somber participants halfheartedly undressed and arranged one another in a melancholy daisy chain on the floor. 'I tried acting like nothing had changed, like this was just another four-hour marathon of raucous, uninterrupted intercourse,' orgy attendee Jeremy Bowman said. 'But every time I looked down at those plastic sheets, or at that stack of anal beads on the kitchen table, or even into Stephanie [Winter]'s gaping vulva, all I could think about was Brian.' Hodge's passing reportedly had a severe effect on all of the swingers and fetishists, many of whom admitted to simply going through the motions of straddling their partners and pumping their fists into each other's anuses. 'We all just sat there at first, with Sabrina on top of Rob, and Craig and Dorothy sort of taking turns between Phillip's thighs,' said Doug Wiviott, who claimed he felt 'completely numb' long before applying stamina cream to his genitals. 'It was like there was this big hole nowone none of us could fill.' Feelings of sorrow and grief reportedly had an impact on the sexual appetite of the normally insatiable participants, many of whom could 'barely manage' to fit more than three or four cocks in their grieving oral cavities at once. 'Nobody knew Brian like we didnot his parents, not his brother, not even his wife,' fuck-fiend Rebecca Baker said. 'After all, Brian was more than just a guy who sometimes strapped on a jelly dong and did you from the side. He was also a guy who sometimes squeezed your breasts so hard you thought you were going to explode.' In addition to sparking hushed disputes over whether using a double-headed dildo was in poor taste, and discouraging numerous attendees from engaging in double penetration out of respect, Hodge's sudden death left many feeling confused. 'I know this is going to sound weird, but there were times during the orgy when I half-expected Brian to sneak up behind me and stick a finger in my ass again,' friend Robert Luchs said. 'I guess you never realize how much you'll miss someone until you have to manually stimulate your own prostate.' While the pained expressions on the faces of those getting drilled reportedly said it all, some participants came away from the orgy with a more positive outlook on life. 'Sure, it was sad, but I'll always have fond memories of Brian to look back on,' sadomasochist Dale Kingsley said. 'That and the approximately 300 hours of videotaped footage I've amassed of him over the years.' Orgy organizer Kyle Brossard, whom some accused of being 'insensitive' and 'a nymphomaniac,' had initially considered canceling Monday's sexual free-for-all. Ultimately, Broward decided it was more important to be among friends and find some much-needed solace in the arms, legs, mouth, taint, and bodily cavities of loved ones. 'I know that if Brian were still alive today, he would have wanted us to finger-cuff Christine seven ways from Sunday,' Brossard said. 'That's just the way he was.' Added Brossard: 'I'm so happy we all had the chance to come together like this.' 
2	Country Bans Miley Cyrus From Performing After What She Just Did Recently, Miley Cyrus was scheduled to play a concert in the Dominican Republic. However, according to reports, the show was canceled. Why? Morality. According to the commission in charge of public performances in the Dominican Republic, the controversial pop singer is not allowed to play because she undertakes acts that go against morals and customs, which are punishable by Dominican law. Tickers to the show, which was supposed to take place in Santo Domingo, have been on sale since July, with prices ranging from $27 to $370. It is to be determined whether there will be a refund policy in place, and Cyrus has made no comment about the incident. What do you think? Was the commission right to ban the scandalous performer?

2	ExAccording to recent reports, CNN recently conducted an on-air interview of the former butler of billionaire businessman Donald Trump. They were probably hoping the interview would tarnish Trumps reputation. Instead, host Carol Costello only seemed to gather praise and endorsement from Anthony P. Tony Senecal. One of Costellos first questions was whether Trump was the same person onstage as the debates as he is in real life. Senecal claims that he is indeed. In fact, he claims, he had debated the same issues with his boss during the 20 years he worked for him that are being raised now. His interest in the American people, his patriotismthe man was born on Flag day, Senecal commented. He is a very patriotic person, and he wants what is best for this country. With the conversation clearly going awry, Costello made one more attempt to get the dirt on the presidential candidateasking Senecal if there was anything he could share that viewers may not realize. First of all, I tell you hes an incredibly generous person. Hes been generous to his employees. Hes been generous to strangers, Senecal commented. Hes an entirely nice guy. Hes not the great gruff person that people play him out to be. Sure, if you attack him, hes going to fight back. But most of the time, hes just a nice man. I mean, I lasted with him 20 years. He had to be pretty good. What do you think of the interview? Watch the clip below and tell us what you think. 
1	According to sources, local 4-year-old Annie Platt spent much of Tuesday afternoon showing the ropes to her newest toy, a stuffed rag doll named Lucy. 'You have to come to tea time when I say so, and stay away from Jerry the monkey, because he bites,' Platt said after familiarizing Lucy with the box of crayons, the beanbag chair, and the play stove, which the new doll is under no circumstances ever allowed to touch. 'And remember, I'm in charge here, so I make the rules.' Later in the day, Platt reportedly forced Lucy to sit in the corner, allegedly for breaking nap time rules, but many in the playroom felt the toddler was simultaneously trying to establish her dominance over the newcomer while sending a warning to the other toys. 
2	Officer James Lee Tartt Sacrifices Life While Protecting Mississippi City Citizens Police got a call to a house in Mississippi City, where an armed man suspected of possession of narcotics was hiding out. When police arrived, they entered into what would become a 6 hour standoff. After waiting and negotiating with the man, police decided to enter the house, where they were instantly fired upon by the armed man. Officer James Lee Tartt, 44, was killed by gunman Charles Lee Lambert with a high-powered rifle. Three other officers were injured in the process. Lambert was eventually killed after a lengthy shootout. Lambert was hiding with his wife and 10-year-old daughter, who have been taken into custody by the police. Tartt had spend most of his career trying to keep illegal drugs off our streets, and eventually gave his life to the cause. He deserves our utmost respect, and his family needs our prayers. Will you pray for Officer James Lee Tartt? 
2	Donald Trump Destroys Saudi Arabia In Epic Altercation Donald Trump has been the center of attention ever since his call to temporarily ban all Muslims from entering the U.S. There has been loads of criticism, but Trump refuses to give up. Now it is Saudi royalty that is firing shots at him. You are a disgrace not only to the GOP but to all America. Withdraw from the U.S. presidential race as you will never win, said Alwaleed Talal. Trump fired back with an epic counter. Dopey Prince @Alwaleed_Talal wants to control our U.S. politicians with daddys money. Cant do it when I get elected. #Trump2016 Trump doesnt take crap from anyone. Do you support Trump for president? 
3	Are New Vaccine Mandates Designed to Target the Poor?By Joshua Krause Or do they? Well, yes and no. No in the sense that I dont think we are headed towards a future that forces everyone to take the jab, but the answer will likely be yes for folks who dont have a lot of disposable income. For reasons that I will explain below, you can bet your bottom dollar that there will always be a way to avoid vaccinations for you and your family. However, its going to cost you. For instance, take Californias proposed vaccine law. It doesnt provide any harsh punishment for failing to vaccinate your children. All it says is that your child cant attend school without the required vaccines. It doesnt say anything about homeschooling. If you can afford to hire a personal tutor for your kids, or you make enough money to let your spouse stay home, then you can avoid this altogether. I suspect this might become a new trend, and it wont be restricted to the United States. In Australia, the government recently stated that if any family refuses to vaccinate their children, they will be denied medical benefits to the tune of $11,400. For a low-income family thats a huge hit, but for the upper class thats just a drop in the bucket. Mind you, they didnt say that their children will be taken by the state or their parents will be charged with child endangerment. Its just going to cost them to keep their kids vaccine free. If these Western governments truly believed that vaccines save lives and avoiding them was dangerous, wouldnt they be more willing to imprison parents for putting their childrens lives in danger? Their half-hearted attempts to stifle vaccine-free families, says it all. Granted, in the future there will be some heavy-handed attempts to hurt families that dont want to vaccinate. Earlier this year, the Washington Department of Social and Health Services threatened to take away a child because their parents didnt want to give her a flu vaccine. However, does anyone believe that social services would take away a child from a rich family, with connections and easy access to legal help? Do you see what Im getting at here? They will always leave loopholes for the benefit of the elites, but those loopholes will filter out anyone who doesnt have the cash. To some extent, this situation already exists in America. There are only two states that dont allow any personal belief or religious exemptions: Mississippi and West Virginia, i.e. two of the poorest states in America. Somehow I doubt that the financial and political elite spend a whole lot of time in those states. On that note, theres plenty of evidence to suggest that the elites dont vaccinate their children at the same rate as the middle class. Jon Rappoport pointed out last month that in New Mexico, the Los Alamos school district has the highest rate of vaccine exemptions in the state. In all likelihood, these are the children of parents who work for the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Thats the highest rate of non-vaccination in the state. Were talking about parents who work at the US Los Alamos Labs. People with advanced degrees in science. People who work for the federal government. You would think the vaccine rate in that environment would stand at 100%, no questions asked. What do these people know? Why are they opting out of vaccinations for their kids? Hmm, lets think. For example, have they done some actual research on their own, and have they decided that vaccines are unsafe and ineffective? Lets not forget that in California, private schools have significantly higher rates of vaccine non-compliance than their public school counterparts. There appears to be a large segment of Americas elite that doesnt want to vaccinate their children. Do they know something the rest of us dont? And given the power this class wields in our state, federal, and local governments, how much do you want to bet that before California passes this legislation, they will exempt private schools from the law? By now, some of you might be asking yourselves why they would do this? Why would the poor be forced into this while the rich get a pass? As I mentioned before, this is a growing trend that is international in scope, and the truth of the matter may lie beyond our borders. If this story from Kenya is any indication, then these laws have a truly nefarious purpose behind them. HCG was developed by the WHO as a long-term contraceptive. It causes the body to attack a fetus through an antibody response, and can cause spontaneous abortions for 3 years after the woman is injected with the drug. Dr. Muhame Ngare of Mercy Medical Centre in Nairobi said: We sent six samples from around Kenya to laboratories in South Africa. They tested positive for the HCG antigen.They were all laced with HCG. This proved right our worst fears; that this WHO campaign is not about eradicating neonatal tetanus but a well-coordinated forceful population control mass sterilization exercise using a proven fertility regulating vaccine. This evidence was presented to the Ministry of Health before the third round of immunization but was ignored. (source) To me, it looks like these laws have all the trappings of a eugenics agenda. Do you honestly still believe these vaccines are safe? Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared.

2	MIRACLE: Marine Survives Headshot From Taliban Sniper Without Injury [VIDEO] In a video that is sure to have few people holding their breath, a U.S. marine survives a direct shot from a Taliban sniper. The video is being deemed a miracle, and has received nearly 1 million views in the last month. According to the footage, the enemys round appears to have gone through the top of the Marines helmet, but it stops just before making contact with his head. The incident reportedly took place in Afghanistan in Helmand Province. The video opens with one Marine saying to his fellow men in uniform, Youve got cover out there? Suddenly, a shot rings out, and one of men he is talking to is showing reacting as a round hits his helmet. Hey weve got a sniper! the Marine exclaims. Dude, you got shot! I saw it hit your Kevlar. You lucky son of a b****. Look at that! My ears are ringing, the Marine replies. And thats that. 
2	NFL In HUGE Trouble With The Police For THIS During Halftime Show... This Is Sickening During the Super Bowl halftime performance, Beyonce, Bruno Mars, and Coldplay were on stage. Everything was going well until sheriffs from around the country realized something as the performance went on. Beyonce sang part of her song, Formation, which is a direct middle finger against the police of our nation. It promotes the image of cops as indiscriminate killers. Extremely unhappy with the NFL for allowing her to play this during the Super Bowl, officers from around the country turned their TVs off. This promotion of the Black Lives Matter movement went under the radar for many, but not for those that protect our country day and night. They deserve more respect. The police have asked the NFL to choose less controversial halftime shows in the future. Hopefully they respect their wishes. Do you think the police are rightfully angry? 
1	According to sources, the deteriorating 10-year-old marriage of Dale and Gina Byer will somehow be magically restored this weekend by a zip-lining excursion to the mountains of northern New Hampshire. The couple, trapped and suffocated by an increasingly hopeless, angst-ridden relationship, presumably booked the short getaway on the expectation that spending four hours gliding along a wire between 60-foot-tall maple trees will fully patch up the manifold emotional, sexual, and financial issues that have long been pulling them apart. 'It's going to be great just the two of us out there in the woods, zipping around like a bunch of kids,' Dale Byer said of the childless couple's ploy to remind themselves of whatever it was they saw in each other when they first met. 'We've always talked about doing something crazy like this, and now it's finally going to happen.' The Byers 'I've heard it feels like you're flying,' Gina added. First conceived after a vicious, 15-minute-long fight over who would walk their doga golden retriever purchased by the Byers in 2008 as a desperate attempt to fill the void between themthe Saturday trip will begin with a leisurely drive up I-93, two hours on the open road that will reportedly erase in one fell swoop the deepening communication gap that has plagued their relationship for years. Including gas, meals, and admission fees, the zip-lining trip will cost the couple $500 they had put aside for much-needed repairs to their home, and take up time during which Gina had hoped to work on her resum so she can eventually leave the dead-end job that has become the second-most miserable thing in her life. 'There's one section where you start on the edge of a cliff and it's 150 feet to the other sidecan you believe that?' Dale said as if expecting a half-minute, high-altitude rush to suppress his almost unbearable desire to sabotage his marriage by having an affair. 'And the deal they've got is fantastic, considering your ticket gets you a full day of zip-lining plus unlimited access to their rope bridges.' The couple's overwhelming trust issues, disagreement over whether to have children, tendency to criticize each other's appearance, and opposing views on whether Gina's ailing parents should move in with them or reside in a nursing home will reportedly be erased by a mechanism consisting of nothing more than a cable, a slope, and a pulley. In addition, their fundamentally opposed attitudes on religion are expected to be rectified on the way home during a dinner-stop at the Applebee's off the Tilton-Northfield exit. 'Apparently we have to sign in when we get to the zip-lining center, then there's a safety briefing, and then they put you on a scale to calibrate the harnesses,' said Gina, ignoring the miracle that would be required for the initial weigh-in not to reignite the body-image issues that have prevented her from enjoying sexual intercourse her entire adult life. 'But after you take care of all the boring stuff, that's when the real fun begins.' 'I can't wait to get out there,' she added. Brandishing a brochure given to him by a coworker who went on the same trip years ago with her husband and is now in the final stages of legal separation, Dale pointed out that the facility has alternative activitiesincluding an off-road safari, a tree-house tour, and an observation platformin the event they want to take a break from zip-lining. 'We'll probably be worn out by all that physical activity, so it's nice to know they have other things to do,' said Dale, unconsciously acknowledging that he and his wife will inevitably blow up at each other, make a scene, and have to be removed from the course by ladder. 'Who cares, though, as long as we're spending quality time together?' 
3	EU Project Uses Sun to Turn Water and CO2 Into Jet FuelUS Navy also recently turned seawater into jet fuel. An EU-funded research project called SOLAR-JET has produced the worlds first solar jet fuel from water and carbon dioxide (CO2). Researchers have for the first time successfully demonstrated the entire production chain for renewable kerosene, using concentrated light as a high-temperature energy source. The project is still at the experimental stage, with a glassful of jet fuel produced in laboratory conditions, using simulated sunlight. However, the results give hope that in future any liquid hydrocarbon fuels could be produced from sunlight, CO2 and water. European Commissioner for Research, Innovation and Science Mire Geoghegan-Quinn said: This technology means we might one day produce cleaner and plentiful fuel for planes, cars and other forms of transport. This could greatly increase energy security and turn one of the main greenhouse gases responsible for global warming into a useful resource. The process In a first step concentrated light simulating sunlight was used to convert carbon dioxide and water tosynthesis gas (syngas) in a high-temperature solar reactor (see picture above) containing metal-oxide based materials developed at ETH Zrich. The syngas (a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide) was then converted into kerosene by Shell using the established Fischer-Tropsch process. Background The four-year SOLAR-JET project was launched in June 2011 and is receiving 2.2 million of EU funding from the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7). The SOLAR-JET project brings together research organisations from academia and industry (ETH Zrich, Bauhaus Luftfahrt, Deutsches Zentrum fr Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR), Shell Global Solutions and management partner ARTTIC). In the next phase of the project, the partners plan to optimise the solar reactor and assess whether the technology will work on a larger scale and at competitive cost. Finding new, sustainable sources of energy will remain a priority under Horizon 2020, the seven-year EU research and innovation programme launched on Jan. 1, 2014. In the call Competitive Low-Carbon Energy published on December 11 last year, the Commission proposed investing 732 million over two years in this area. The call includes a topic on the development of the next-generation technologies for biofuels and sustainable alternative fuels. Press release source: 
3	Colorado Anti-NDAA Bill to Have First Committee Hearingselfnews Post Colorados bill is another in a string of similar bills in other states introduced this legislative session to combat and stop certain provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012. Similar to Washington states legislation, Colorados version focuses on the problems with Section 1021 of the 2012 NDAA that purportedly authorizes the inclusion of U.S. citizens in its definition of covered persons, i.e. suspected terrorists, who can be indefinitely detained by the military without charge or trial. The bill declares that Colorado is not a battlefield, subject to the laws of war, and prohibits the detention, capture, or use of deadly force against any person in Colorado without charge or trial. Supporters of the bill are urged to contact members of the committee to ensure it passes onto the floor. (Out-of-state supporters are also urged to contact members of the committee, without mentioning the state they are calling/emailing from.) One call. Two emails. Change history.

3	How to Find the Best Offshore BanksNick Giambruno, International Man And that topic is banking. Its generally accepted as an absolute truth by the public and most financial experts that putting your money in a domestic bank is a safe and responsible thing to do. After all, if anything were to go wrong, your deposits are insured by the government. As a result, most people put more thought into which shoes they should purchase than which bank should be entrusted with their life savings. Its a classic moral hazarda situation in which a person is more likely to take risks because the costs wont be borne by that person. In the case of banking, thats how a lot of people think, but it isnt necessarily true that individuals bear no costs of their banking decisions. The prudent thing to do is ignore the conventional wisdom and look at the facts to form your opinions. Choosing the right custodian for your life savings makes a differenceand it deserves some serious thought. A False Sense of Security In the US, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures bank deposits. In the case of a bank failure, the FDIC pays depositors up to $250,000. The FDIC has a reserve of around $30 billion for this purpose. Now, $30 billion might sound like a lot of money. But considering that the FDIC insures around $9 trillion in deposits, the $30 billion in reserve amounts to just a drop in the bucket. Its actually less than half a penny for every dollar it supposedly insures. In fact, there are over 36 banks in the US that have deposits larger than the FDICs reserve. It wouldnt take much for the FDIC itself to go bust. One large bank failure is all it would take. And with many of the big banks leveraged to the hilt, that isnt as remote a possibility as many would believe. Oddly, this doesnt shake the confidence the public and most financial experts place in the US banking system. Also, its already an established precedent that whenever a government deems it necessary, deposit guarantees can be disregarded on whim. We saw this in the early days of the financial crisis in Cyprus. The Cypriot government initially sought (but was ultimately rebuffed) to dip its hands into bank accounts under the guaranteed amount. Similarly, Spain has imposed a blanket taxation on all bank deposits. Id bet this is only the beginning. We havent even made it through the coming attractions. Taken together, this shows that the confidence in the banking systemmerely because of the existence of a bankrupt government promiseis dangerously misplaced. Follow conventional wisdom at your own peril. Fortunately, in this day and age the decision on where to bank doesnt have to be constrained by geography. Banking outside of your home countrywhere much sounder governments, banking systems, and banks can be foundis in most ways just as easy as banking with Bank of America. The Solution Obtaining a bank account outside of your home country is a key component of any international diversification strategy. It protects you from capital controls, lightning government seizures, bail-ins, other forms of confiscation, and any number of other dirty tricks a bankrupt government might try. Offshore banks offer another benefit: they are usually much safer and more conservatively run than banks in your home country at least if you live in the US and many parts of Europe. Its hard to see how youd be worse off for placing some of your cash where its treated best. In the event that your home government does something desperate or your domestic bank makes a losing bet, it could turn out to be a very prudent move. When Doug Casey and I were in Cyprus, we met with a number of astute Cypriots who saw the writing on the wall. They got their money outside of the country before the bail-in and capital controls, and they were spared. It would be wise to learn from their example. But you shouldnt just blindly move your savings to any foreign bank. You want to consider only the best. For me, being able to find the safest and best offshore banks comes naturally. In the past, I worked as a banking analyst for an investment bank in Beirut, Lebanon. While there, I rigorously assessed countless banks around the world. This experience and the analytical tools I developed have been very helpful in evaluating the best offshore banks worthy of holding deposits. A basic rundown (but not inclusive) of factors I look for when analyzing an offshore bank include: Another important factor is whether an offshore bank has a presence in your home jurisdiction. To obtain more political diversification benefits, its better that it does not. For example, assume you are a Chinese citizen and want to diversify. It wouldnt make much sense to open an account with the New York City branch of the Bank of China. It would be much better from a diversification standpoint for the Chinese citizen to open an account with a sound regional or local bank that doesnt have a presence or connection to mainland Chinaand thus cannot have its arm easily twisted by the Chinese government. The Best Offshore Banks Each year, a prominent financial magazine publishes a study on the worlds safest banks. Below are its top 10 safest banks in the world (notice that none of them is in the US). Naturally, things can change quickly though. New options emerge, while others disappear. This is why its so important to have the most up-to-date and accurate information possible. Thats where International Man comes in. Be sure to get the free IM Communiqu to keep up with the latest on the best offshore banking options. This dynamic is thanks to FATCA and all the red tape that the US government imposes on foreign banks who have US clients. For foreign banks, the logical business decision is to show Americans the unwelcome mat. The costs simply do not justify the benefits. This is unfortunately true for many banks the world over. The net effect is to drastically reduce the number of choices that Americans have when banking offshore. Its a sort of de facto capital control. There are of course exceptions. Some solid offshore banks still accept Americans, and some even open accounts remotely. This means you could obtain huge diversification benefits without having to leave your living room. Companion Article: In our comprehensive Going Global publication, we discuss our favorite banks and jurisdictions for offshore banking, crucially including those that still accept Americans as clients. Its a list that is constantly dwindling, which highlights the need to act sooner rather than later. 
3	What Makes Us Human? Scientists Come One Step Closer To Creating A Human BeingChris Carrington Scientists have for decades wanted to find a way where they can actually see the damage done to our internal organs by toxins that range from drugs to air pollution. Evidence from autopsy and cadaver studies show the links between toxins and human health but often, such study does not show why it happens, it doesnt show the mechanisms that causes the reactions. From Science Daily: We are already seeing the growing of human tissue in the lab, the manipulation of stem cells which can be cultured into any tissue in the human body. How long will it be before someone combines the two technologies? Now this would not be all bad, growing full replacement organs for those who need transplants would alleviate the suffering of million, but, once organs can be grown routinely, and that technology is combined with the constructs that shows the minute detail of what makes them work, we are well on the way to creating a human being. The question is, what makes us human? Many argue that its our brain that makes us human, but we are already seeing research working on the human brain, modifying it to prevent seizures, constant analysis of personality traits and damage that causes changes in the human brain. More and more psychological issues are being invented and then treated with drugs, dulling minds, particularly young minds, altering the way people think. According to many, most of the scientists and politicians, we already live on an overcrowded planet. Many extol the virtues of population reduction, yet these same people continually push the boundaries trying to improve the health of those humans that already exist, extending their lifespan, enabling more of them to breed readily increasing the global population further still. Looking a little deeper could there be an ulterior motive thats the exact opposite of that statement? Well yes, I think it could. We are the guinea pigs, the lab rats who are testing out the new technologies that will ultimately lead to a human as perfect as a human can be. Add a little brain manipulation into the mix and you have a human who is healthy, and destined for a longer lifespan than us regular humans, and who at the same time can be steered in a given direction through the tweaking of their neurons. Those tweaks could be that 95% dont reproduce, not because they cant, but because they chose not to. This gives the depopulation and eugenics team a way to smile and tell us all that it was nothing to do with them. Agenda 21 is alive and well, it currently resides in the purses of the government departments who fund scientific research. All of the studies and research taken as individual snapshots of what science can do are wonderful. The worry is though that someone with a radical enough viewpoint and enough money to fund the lab, could bring the whole lot together and quite literally reformat the population into their vision of Utopia. Governments have proved themselves to be a bunch of multimillionaires with an issue regarding telling the truth. Every week a new revelation is in the news telling us yet another method they have found of controlling the herd, I see no reason why science should be regarded any differently. As far back as MK Ultra and Project Paperclip scientists and government have worked hand in hand to control the minds of the electorate, and in particular the military. They have lied and cheated their way through the decades. The common thread that has run through all the administrations is the need to control the people. Be it false flag events to garner support for war or NSA spying, it has always been there and I believe that it will continue, though possibly in less visible ways. The coupling of science and government does not bode well. Much of it is not open to peer review, and the public at large have no idea whats happening behind those closed and bolted doors. Much of the transparency that scientists of the past saw as part of their role in assisting, and sometimes changing, society has vanished. Science is retreating from the people, towing the company line behind it as it goes in order to secure the grants and funding it needs to continue. Those grants and funds come at a price. The question is, who decides when its a price thats too high? Chris Carrington is a writer, researcher and lecturer with a background in science, technology and environmental studies.

3	Fighting Malevolent AI: Artificial Intelligence, Meet CybersecurityBy Roman V. Yampolskiy, University of Louisville Todays narrowly focused artificial intelligence (AI) systems are good only at specific assigned tasks. Their failures are just a warning: Once humans develop general AI capable of accomplishing a much wider range of tasks, expressions of prejudice will be the least of our concerns. It is not easy to make a machine that can perceive, learn and synthesize information to accomplish a set of tasks. But making that machine safe as well as capable is much harder. Our legal system lags hopelessly behind our technological abilities. The field of machine ethics is in its infancy. Even the basic problem of controlling intelligent machines is just now being recognized as a serious concern; many researchers are still skeptical that they could pose any danger at all. Worse yet, the threat is vastly underappreciated. Of the roughly 10,000 researchers working on AI around the globe, only about 100 people one percent are fully immersed in studying how to address failures of multi-skilled AI systems. And only about a dozen of them have formal training in the relevant scientific fields computer science, cybersecurity, cryptography, decision theory, machine learning, formal verification, computer forensics, steganography, ethics, mathematics, network security and psychology. Very few are taking the approach I am: researching malevolent AI, systems that could harm humans and in the worst case completely obliterate our species. Studying AIs that go wrong is a lot like being a medical researcher discovering how diseases arise, how they are transmitted, and how they affect people. Of course the goal is not to spread disease, but rather to fight it. From my background in computer security, I am applying techniques first developed by cybersecurity experts for use on software systems to this new domain of securing intelligent machines. Last year I published a book, Artificial Superintelligence: a Futuristic Approach, which is written as a general introduction to some of the most important subproblems in the new field of AI safety. It shows how ideas from cybersecurity can be applied in this new domain. For example, I describe how to contain a potentially dangerous AI: by treating it similarly to how we control invasive self-replicating computer viruses. My own research into ways dangerous AI systems might emerge suggests that the science fiction trope of AIs and robots becoming self-aware and rebelling against humanity is perhaps the least likely type of this problem. Much more likely causes are deliberate actions of not-so-ethical people (on purpose), side effects of poor design (engineering mistakes) and, finally, miscellaneous cases related to the impact of the surroundings of the system (environment). Because purposeful design of dangerous AI is just as likely to include all other types of safety problems and will probably have the direst consequences, that is the most dangerous type of AI, and the one most difficult to defend against. My further research, in collaboration with Federico Pistono (author of Robots Will Steal Your Job, But Thats OK,) explores in depth just how a malevolent AI could be constructed. We also discuss the importance of studying and understanding malicious intelligent software. Cybersecurity research very commonly involves publishing papers about malicious exploits, as well as documenting how to protect cyber-infrastructure. This information exchange between hackers and security experts results in a well-balanced cyber-ecosystem. That balance is not yet present in AI design. Hundreds of papers have been published on different proposals aimed at creating safe machines. Yet we are the first, to our knowledge, to publish about how to design a malevolent machine. This information, we argue, is of great value particularly to computer scientists, mathematicians and others who have an interest in AI safety. They are attempting to avoid the spontaneous emergence or the deliberate creation of a dangerous AI. Our research allows us to profile potential perpetrators and to anticipate types of attacks. That gives researchers a chance to develop appropriate safety mechanisms. Purposeful creation of malicious AI will likely be attempted by a range of individuals and groups, who will experience varying degrees of competence and success. These include: It would be impossible to provide a complete list of negative outcomes an AI with general reasoning ability would be able to inflict. The situation is even more complicated when considering systems that exceed human capacity. Some potential examples, in order of (subjective) increasing undesirability, are: We can expect these sorts of attacks in the future, and perhaps many of them. More worrying is the potential that a superintelligence may be capable of inventing dangers we are not capable of predicting. That makes room for something even worse than we have imagined. Roman V.

2	Obamas Time Is Up Michael Connelly Draws Up Articles Of Impeachment For Our President According to recent reports, constitutional lawyer Michael Connelly has just drawn up articles of impeachment for the President. The first article claims that Obama has violated his 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. Connelly goes on to cite several examples of Obama abusing his power in contraction to the Constitution. Article 2, Section 3 of the Constitution mandates that the President of the United States shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, Connelly writes. Barack Hussein Obama, in violation of his oath of office, as repeatedly ignored this Constitutional mandate by refusing to enforce laws against illegal immigration, defend the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), and enforce Federal voting laws. In the second article, Connelly makes the strong argument that Obama has violated his oath of office by willfully withholding information on important issues. He also points out that the President has actively taken party in misleading the Congress and the American people. In the final article, Connelly argues that President Obama has actually endangered the lives of Americans by negotiating with terrorists, destroying the moral and effectiveness of Border Patrol agents and ordering the release of thousands of illegal aliens many of whom have criminal records. What do you think of Connellys Articles of Impeachment? Do we finally stand a chance of getting Obama out of the White House for his criminal behavior?

His request followed protests of five homicides in the city over the past two weeks. 
2	Twins Are Born Premature, But What Happens After Is Simply MIRACULOUS Kristian and Anthea Rushford were told by doctors that their twins would have to be born premature. It had only been 28 weeks, and they didnt know what to expect. Unsure, they put their faith in God to keep their children safe. Twin births always have a higher chance of complications, and this time was no exception. The twins were delivered at 28 weeks old, 12 weeks earlier than expected. With a successful birth, they weighed in at only 2 pounds each. Kristian Ian Rushford and Kristiana Micaela Rushford entered the world safe and complication-free. However, the miracle had yet to come. When Kristian held his twins for the first time ever, they did something unexpected, and downright inexplicable. They two twins latched hands, and refused to let go. In a time of such unknown, this bond is what kept them going. Maybe its a sign from God. They are truly blessed to be able to live through such a great world, and especially have each other. Did this bring a smile to your face? 
3	Heres Why The Privatization Of War Must Stop NOWBy Sophie McAdam While many readers found this entirely plausible given all the aggressive U.S-ledinvasions ofoil-rich countries that weve seen in the past 14 years, we did receive one email from a patriotic American who was angrythat True selfnews would give Putins claims any attention at all.This short campaign video from War on Want might clear up any confusion as to why we believe the Russian Presidents accusations deserve to be publicized. After all, sparking debate is more important than blind nationalism, which seems to be a contributing factor to the global mess we now find ourselves in. Even the mainstream media has openly reported on the USAs training of rebels in Jordan, as well as detailing how the Pentagon lost weapons they sent to militants in Yemen. All of this is common knowledge, which is why Putins claims are not at all far-fetched.Whether we like it or not, the assertionthat modernwarfare has become a corporateprofiteering business is by no means a conspiracy, its a fact.The USAs self-styled role asthe worldsbadcop (not to mention the States being the seat of global corporatocracy) means that the privatization of war has becomea natural next stepfor the White House (and of course its allies;Britain is another known culprit). Private Military and Security Companies (known as PMSCs) are contracted bycorruptleaders and they are making big bucks by profiting from war and insecurity around the world. These companies are complicit in human rights abuses, putting profit before people and fanning the flames of war. Who is fighting who is largely irrelevant; all that matters is that arms are being sold and money is being made. Its quite possible that even if the USA and Britain didnt intend to helpthe growth of the Islamic State, the private companies who do their dirty work in the Middle East may have a hell of a lot to answer for with regard to hiring mercenaries.The problem is, well never know for certain because these corporations are unaccountable, unregulated, and very secretive. Unlike Governments, who are ultimately responsible for the atrocities and war crimes they commit, private companies cannot be legally tried for their actions.

2	You Have 7 Seconds To Find The C, Or You Are Considered Under... Were back with another eye test. This time, were giving you 7 seconds to find the C. Most people are able to do it, but dont worry too much if you cant. There are a couple of different strategies to attacking these types of problems. Some people go line by line, eliminating every possible O until they finally come across the C. Personally, I frantically search around the image until I come across it. Sometimes it works, other times it doesnt. Give it your best shot. As long as you can find it in under a minute, youre ok. If not, maybe you should get your eyes checked .

2	Obama Makes Announcement To Change Name Of Thanksgiving As Not To Offend Immigrants Well it appears that even the most sacred of American traditions are not safe under the Obama administration. According to recent reports, Conservative activist Susan Payne recently participated in a conference call with one of Obamas advisors. The call was supposed to be about Obamas unilateral efforts in the illegal amnesty planbut what she heard was even more disturbing that she had originally anticipated. Someone on the call mentioned that Obama could eliminate Thanksgiving and replace it with Celebrate Immigrants Day. Several liberals on the phone even chimed in in support of the idea. While the idea seems absolutely absurd, we cant say wed put it past Obama. What do you think? Is Obama single-handedly destroying America and what we stand for? 
1	Following a traffic stop earlier this month by a University of Cincinnati police officer that ended in the shooting death of an unarmed black motorist, authorities confirmed Thursday that the disturbing video recorded by the officers body camera clearly and graphically shows the current state of America. Thanks to this footage, everyone can see the brutal and unconscionable condition of the United States in the year 2015 with their own eyes, said Hamilton County prosecutor Joe Deters, who noted that the violent nature of circumstances in America may make the footage disturbing for some to watch. Its stomach-turning to go frame by frame through this video and see the grotesque realities of our country unfold in such visceral detail. But its vitally important to have a visual record that tells the truth about this nation rather than be forced to trust the accounts of those who might have something to cover up. Without this video, we would be left to dispute about what really happens in America. Deters added that, after watching the footage, it was hard to argue that the country was not to blame for the violence that was captured on film. 
2	SICKENING Look At What Our Liberal School System Are Teaching Our Kids About 9/11 If youre wondering where your hard-earned tax dollars are going, you might be shocked to learn that they are potentially being spent on a freshman English class at several American universities called The Literature of 9/11. While the title of the course would imply that the curriculum was made up of our countrys history and stories of our fallen heroes, it instead focuses on writings from the perspective of the Islamic terrorists who took the lives of the firemen, police officers, and innocent Americans involved in the tragic day. The class, the New York Post claims, are systematically indoctrinating [our] children into believing the attacks were our fault. The New York Post goes on to claim that the books required for the course tend to portray terrorists as freedom fighters who are victims of fate and driven by oppressive foreign policies. What do you think? Is this absolutely insane? Would you let your child take this course? 
1	ALLENTOWN, PADiehard Eagles fan Bill Ferris said Monday that he loves his 12-year-old son Rex more than football, excepting the thrilling playoff games, of course. 'When I tell you I love my son more than football, you better believe I'm saying something important,' said Ferris, a 38-year-old accountant. 'I wouldn't think of missing Rex playing a shepherd in the church nativity scene this Sunday. That's because the Eagles clinched the NFC East, and probably home-field advantage, too.' Ferris said he has yet to form a plan for next month, when a playoff game overlaps with his son's band concert. 
3	Who Is Spraying Us? Raytheon, MITRE Corporation, MIT Are Prime Suspects: Peter KirbyBy Cassius Kamarampi In this interview with Era of Wisdom, Peter breaks down his extensive research on the history of weather modification (geoengineering), thoroughly documented in his book yet kept from the public, from the 1940s to present day. He goes into exactly who the prime suspects are in spraying us today: corporations such as Raytheon, MITRE Corporation, and their academic foundations in Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Government organizations such as the Department of Defense and its DARPA division, NATO, and the CIA are discussed. As two residents of Northern California, we discuss our experiences observing the distinct odor of chemtrails recently, and subsequent symptoms. We discuss the observed escalation of spraying activity in 2016, and how a new type of aerosol mix seems to be in use now compared to before mid-2016, that smells plastic, sharp, metallic, and similar to static electricity, rather than the powdery, starchy metallic odor observed previously. For an entry level understanding of what chemtrails and geoengineering are, what materials are generally thought to be sprayed, the patents for aerosols, rain tests, and other information, check the sources below. Please share this with as many people as possible: this history and tangible info is especially important to share with those who need hard evidence in understanding were being sprayed.

I contacted the EPA years ago and just got more yadda, yadda, yadda, but the EPA sure knows how to destroy rivers ala Animas river in Colorado comes to mind. KUDOS to Peter Kirby, I hope he can stop them. Its amazing we still get blue skies from time to time. They seem to let up on Sundays, the heaviest air traffic day and yet no chemtrails. Its being done to us in Great Britain too. Last summer was ruined in London by criss crossing trails blotting out the sun, expanding and hanging trails, unnatural clouds; including some high clouds refracting light into prismatic colours when that should be physically impossible. I sent Freedom of Information requests that returned official denials and even a referral to a photo of WWII prop driven bombers! I have subsequently moved home 200 miles north and it is exactly the same scenario here; no escape. My responses to you have been censored by selfnews Post. Why? Too much to cover here. Read the Solutions chapter of my book. How about a 3 sentence start on even one solution? I suggest collection of data, lawsuits and legislation. These things are complex. Cheers. Excellent, then we are on the same page, and this work is already ongoing. Theres a reason this subject is the Elephant in the room that is never discussed.

3	Med Mob Has Groomed 70 Percent of Americans on Prescription DrugsHeather Callaghan Strangely, or not so strangely, 7 out of 10 deaths each year are from chronic disease like heart, strokes, and cancer. Almost one out of every two Americans suffered from a chronic illness in 2005. (Source) This system is working out great just not for U.S. patients. The most common drugs are antibiotics, antidepressants, and pain killers (opioids). Dr. St. Sauver of Mayo Clinic said: Often when people talk about health conditions theyre talking about chronic conditions such as heart disease or diabetes. However, the second most common prescription was for antidepressants that suggests mental health is a huge issue and is something we should focus on. And the third most common drugs were opioids, which is a bit concerning considering their addicting nature. A campaign using heavy celebrity support has been launched to support the new Healthcare law. Pills have been introduced to treat obesity, and now smart pills can track your digesting them and let doctors know if youve behaved. Spending on prescription drugs reached a whopping $250 billion in 2009 alone that was 12% of the years total personal health care expenditure. Its been concluded that mass spending will continue to increase. No really? Big Pharma, the Med Mob, and Insurance companies arent leaving the hot tub anytime soon especially if there are willing customers struggling just to survive. What does this all mean? It means that breaking life-dependence on this enslavement system requires a whole new paradigm. Just because it is covered by insurance (designed that way on purpose) doesnt mean its in our best interest or that the cause of a problem will be discovered and addressed. Thinking in terms of banking and investing might actually put it in perspective.

2	Megyn Kelly Makes Learns Her Fate After Massive Fight With Newt Gingrich Live On The Air Following a heated exchange with Newt Gingrich regarding sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump, Megyn Kellys entire career has been called into question. An article published by The New York Times this week pointed out that Kellys contract is almost up, and Fox is at a very important crossroads. They have the potential to take two very different directions. On the same day that Kelly got into the argument, Sean Hannity announced that if Trump wins the election, he will personally pay to fly President Obama to Canada, or even Kenya or Indonesia. The two segments reveal two very different versions of Fox News. So far, Rupert Murdoch has kept the network in what the Times called Ailesian mode, which the articles notes has made Fox News a major profit driver for its corporate parent and kept it atop the cable news ratings. Murdochs son has argued it would be foolish to depart from this winning strategy. But CNN has been coming closer and closer to Fox News in ratings, and is beating them in the core demographic of 25 to 54 year olds. What do you think? Is Fox News better off sticking with the Hannitys than the Kellys?

3	Israel Criminalizes TravelStephen Lendman, Contributor Travelers beware. Israel criminalized entry earlier. Rogue officials are at it again. At issue are so-called flytilla activists. Reports suggest about 1,500 planned West Bank trips. Their purpose is peacefully challenging Israels illegal occupation and bonding with Palestinians they support. Airflotilla2/Welcome to Palestine 2012 participants plan week-long solidarity actions. About two dozen civil society organizations invited them. So did Bethlehems mayor. Planned activities include planting trees, laying a kindergarten cornerstone, repairing damaged wells, peacefully contesting illegal settlement construction, and engaging Palestinians other ways. Their mission is peace and solidarity, not confrontation and violence. At issue is how many actually will arrive. Israels going all out to block them. Airlines agreed to go along Air France, Lufthansa, and Easyjet among them. Israel sent them lists of likely travelers. It directed that reservations and issued tickets be cancelled. Airlines dutifully complied. Reasons affected travelers got are spurious. Some plan legal action in response. Bethlehem-based Dr. Mazin Qumsiyeh said Israel supplied airlines with hundreds of names along with a letter. It falsely claimed they planned provocations on arrival. Airlines know better. Nonetheless, they went along. Theyll also inhospitably face hundreds of Israeli security forces. They plan for less-than-gracious greetings. Theyll be accosted, interrogated, detained and deported. Some may be treated more harshly. Israels a serial abuser. Nothings too extreme in its arsenal. No ones immune from targeting. In a letter Haaretz obtained, Amnon Shmueli from the Interior Ministrys Population and Immigration Authority said: In light of statements by radical pro-Palestinian activists indicating that they intend to arrive on commercial flights from abroad, in order to disturb the peace and confront security forces at Ben Gurion International Airport and at other points of friction, it has been decided to forbid their entrance, in accordance with my authority according to the Law of Entry to Israel. As a result, he directed European airlines not to board them onto Israel-bound flights. He threatened punitive actions against airlines unwilling to comply. He said failing to uphold this directive is liable to lead to leveling of sanctions against offenders. Last summer, around 200 travelers on a similar mission never arrived. Airlines cancelled their trips. About 130 entered Israel through Ben-Gurion Airport. They were accosted and arrested on arrival, then detained and deported. On April 15, Haaretz headlined, Israel blocks entry to first pro-Palestinian fly-in activists; hundreds more expected, saying: On arrival Sunday from Paris, around 30 flytilla participants were arrested and detained. Authorities said those refusing to leave will be transferred the Israel Prison Services for processing. A Welcome to Palestine spokesperson told Haaretz that reservations for over 60% of travelers were cancelled. They received notifications from airlines informing them. Reasons given were spurious and disingenuous. Suspected participants will be detained and interrogated on arrival. Those planning West Bank visits will be denied and deported. Anyone refusing will be imprisoned. On April 15, a Haaretz editorial headlined, Israel should greet pro-Palestinian activists with flowers, saying: Israel is taking extreme-to-hysterical measures to stop activists from flying in, to the point of threatening the airlines. For justifiable reasons, nations may prevent hostile elements from entering their territory. However, activist travelers arent threatening. Moreover, they plan West Bank, not Israel, visits. Sovereign Palestine alone has say over accepting or rejecting them. Their sole entry points are through Jordan or Ben-Gurion Airport. Participants expressed willingness to have Israeli police accompany their buses to Bethlehem. As we know, no one enters or leaves the West Bank whether by air or land without Israels permission and without going through Israel. Longstanding Israeli blacklists target human rights activists. Having them reveals Israeli repressiveness and siege mentality. In an open letter before departing, travelers offered a message of peace. They called for ending Israels occupation. They expressed support for Palestinian rights. Netanyahus government calls this confrontation and attempts to delegitimiz(e) Israel. It shows authorities dont understand that their refusal to allow the human rights activists (entry to) the West Bank illustrates more than anything the occupations lack of legitimacy. Real democracies practice what they preach. They welcome peace activists openly with flowers and treat them graciously while there. Haaretz writer Gideon Levy addressed the issue in his article headlined, A lack of vision is making Israel a short-term state, saying: Israel has no Constitution. Its Basic Laws substitute. Its the only borderless state for good reason. It facilitates lawless land seizures. Israel has grand plans well beyond Judea and Samaria. A state on the wrong track for decades, a faux democracy, a repressive/racist one, has no (clear) future.It wallow(s) in the past and focus(es) on the present.(It shows its) tantamount to a short-lived state. No ones doing anything to stop Israel from rupturing, from becoming (more of) a pariah, even more than already. Today, Sunday, when hundreds of security forces bravely storm a handful of human rights activists and harshly turn them away.solely for seeking to visit Bethlehem in a display of solidarity, few people take issue and protest. Scoundrel media, judicial authorities, and ordinary Israelis do nothing to stop this disgrace. Israels silent majority, like its US counterpart, has much to answer for. Levy wonders if Israels future hangs in the balance. Continued human rights abuses may shorten its lifespan. Maybe then Palestine could be free, and Jews and Arabs again could live side by side in peace. Imagine the difference that would make. Maybe the idea would spread. Its something to hope and work for. The benefits are too great to ignore, the alternative too grave to accept. The time to go for it is now. Stephen Lendman lives in Chicago and can be reached at lendmanstephen@sbcglobal.net.

3	1974 UN World Food Conference Set Stage for Food as a WeaponIn Malthusian terms, the food supply is used by governmental bodies to limit and control the population. After recently watching the documentary King Cornby filmmakers Ian Cheney and Curtis Ellis, the state of the nations, and in turn the worlds food supply was on my mind. Why has industrial corn used for derivative food ingredients and now comprised almost wholly of genetically modified varieties become such a huge part of our lives? Apparently much of the reason for the rise of corn is tied with Big Agra business and a Secretary of Agriculture named Earl Butz, who was appointed to office under President Nixon and kept under President Ford. In doing some basic research on Butz, I encountered not only his scandals over racial remarks or his mocking of the Pope for not backing overt population control, but the file stubs of LaRouche PAC, who heavily covered his involvement in Ford Administration affairs and his controversial role at the key 1974 United Nations World Food Conference, which set up the World Food Council (suspended in 1993), derived from a Rockefeller proposal for a World Food Bank. Just weeks before Nelson Rockefeller would be appointed Vice President of the United States, the Rockefeller machine had been threatening administration officials held over from the Nixon Administration to go along with the agenda, including that of a world food authority. One of those figures was Earl Butz, who according to LaRouche press releases at the time, was targeted in the New York Times and pressured by attacks from ranking political figures including Nixons opponent and Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern. The result, reported below in a vintage LaRouche publication, details how Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz capitulated to these demands during his role at the November 1974 UN World Food Conference in Rome, reversing his position, and backing the Malthusian eugenics views on controlling the world food supply in conjunction with efforts to limit the population. Butz, who officially heads the U.S. delegation, call for the establishment of a new world food agency along the same lines proposed by the UNs Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The Rockefeller Foundation-authored FAO proposal would establish a supranational agency allowing the Rockefeller cabal fingertip control over world food supplies. Significantly, just one month after the pivotal 1974 United Nations World Food Conference, Henry Kissinger officially issued the National Security Council document National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests. (NSSM 200 for short). This document, which was also heavily analyzed by LaRouche PAC, called for using food as a weapon to aid in Third World depopulation efforts. The document specifically identified 13 key countries for depopulation as a top priority under national security interests. One part of the proposal discusses withholding food aid to induce population reduction and family planning on the basis of food shortages. Kissinger states, It is questionable whether aid donor countries will be prepared to provide the sort of massive food aid called for by the import projections on a long-term continuing basis, suggesting that Western nations might opt out of giving rations to countries that have not followed international programs to cut population numbers. According to Kissingers National Security Council, Mandatory programs may be needed and we should be considering these possibilities now, adding in NSSM 200, Would food be considered an instrument of national power? Is the U.S. prepared to accept food rationing to help people who cant/wont control their population growth? [emphasis added] The veiled threat is clear as Kissinger, a top Rockefeller envoy places a high priority on reducing population, is directing U.S. foreign policy, in the name of national security, to essentially blackmail countries into compliance with family planning programs to implement contraceptives, sterilizations and abortions to reduce the birthrate with the leverage of food supply and food aid. There is also some established precedent for taking account of family planning performance in appraisal of assistance requirements by AID [U.S. Agency for International Development] and consultative groups. Since population growth is a major determinant of increases in food demand, allocation of scarce PL 480 resources should take account of what steps a country is taking in population control as well as food production. In these sensitive relations, however, it is important in style as well as substance to avoid the appearance of coercion.[emphasis added] AARON DYKESis a co-founder of TruthstreamMedia.com where this article first appeared.

2	Veteran Mother Of 2 Told She Cant Fly Her Flag, So Look How She Responded... EPIC [WATCH] Recently, Fox News featured the story of a determined mother who is fighting for her right to wave the American flag in honor of her two marine sons and all those who serve our country. Angie Hildebrandts story is just one example of the harassment patriots are facing in this country. According to reports, Hildebrandt was recently told by the Southdale Gardens Condominium Association that she needed to take down the American flag flying outside of her home. The association cited rules prohibiting external decorations to justify their demands. Hildebrandt refuse to comply with the ridiculous demandsand later found her flag destroyed. It was rather disheartening that someone would be so disrespectful to this flag that so many have fought and died for, she told reporters. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous?

Next he dives into a joke about Hillary getting tested because of Bills scandalous past. Next up, he attacks Hillary for her email scandal, and that it is all just an honest mistake. Yeah right. Finally he closes by talking about Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. Watch the full clip, you will laugh for sure! 
1	Explaining that the teams regular-season dominance made him unlikely to question any accomplishment attributed to them, local 29-year-old Jared Dwyer told reporters Thursday that he is ready to believe absolutely any statistic about how good the Golden State Warriors were this year. At this point, you could tell me that the Warriors shot over 70 percent from three as a team, or that they outscored opponents in the second half by an average of 40 points, and Id just take it at face value, said Dwyer, who added that he would not question any unprecedented or otherwise seemingly impossible offensive statistics about the Warriors that he sees on an ESPN graphic or reads on a random Twitter account. I honestly wouldnt bat an eye at a stat that said Steph Curry hasnt missed a three from inside 25 feet since November, or that Draymond Green out-rebounded the entire other team combined in a majority of games this season. Hell, it wouldnt surprise me if I heard the Warriors have the highest-ever number of points per game against teams with a winning record. All of thats probably true, for all I know. Dwyer added that he is equally prepared to believe absolutely any story about how dysfunctional the Los Angeles Lakers have been this year. 
3	Whistleblower Outgunned in Michigan (Update)Jim White and Michael Herbert As scheduled, my mother and her attorney, Ghazey Aleck, met with the Castle management and their attorneys on Tuesday, April 30, at Clare Castle. The meeting was brief. I, being in Montana, was not present. The following information was relayed to me by my mother. I am not going to pretend to quote either attorney exactly, but I can go over a couple verbal highlights. As the meeting began, their attorneys asked what they were going to do about the 7-day notice. Ghazey responded to the effect: You called the meeting, what are you going to do about it? They pressed the 7-day notice and he told them that he was not going to defend my mother right then, he would do it in court. He and my mother then proceeded to stand up and walk out. The entire thing lasted about a minute, I was told. Now, I would like to cover the report obtained by Ghazey through FOIA that I have linked to below. The document, CAD Incident Report, was called in on March 22, and was taken down by Captain Saad. It is almost exactly like a document I originally posted, but the document below has visible notes by the officers. As you will notice upon closer examination, the document actually contradicts itself. In the incident comments, it states the reason for the call to be THREATS OF A FIREARM. However, if you look a bit farther down to the area that I have underlined you will see that the manager relates to the officer that my mother is neither a threat nor suicidal. That is clearly noted by Captain Saad. No, she is guilty of making the residents feel uncomfortable, and they feel uncomfortable around her. Im not sure if that offense rises to the level of an eviction notice, but you can decide that for yourself. After the meeting, the attorneys for the Castle spent 2 hours with a few select residents behind closed doors. This was corroborated by numerous un-selected residents. Perhaps it was time for a bit of, get on the same page? It looks like they are going to court, unless they reach a settlement. In the meantime, my mother will pay her rent and stay put until the matter is adjudicated. From what I gather, Ghazey is a pretty sharp fellow. He will probably subpoena everyone from the residents down to the fellow who spreads salt in the parking lot. Someone will need to either come clean, or stand up in court under penalty of perjury and tell more lies. I will provide updates as they become available. Updated Police Report As with many seniors, my mother is on a fixed income. At her request, I have included a link to assist with her legal fund. She is asking that each person donate just $1 to her defense. Many thousands of people read the previous article, and if even a fraction of that population read this and donate just $1 it will go a long way. Thank You Donate Here Updated May 1st, 2013 Are you prepared to be even more shocked at how far people will go to disarm you? So you were horrified by images of black uniformed SWAT teams forcing people out of their homes in Boston; the images, regardless of the motives behind them, of block-to-block, house-to-house searches looked like something out of science fiction or NAZI Germany SS Forces in Europe during WWII. The mind-set and agenda by some very dark forces in American Government to disarm you have been programming the public through movies, video games and television to accept gun confiscation. Let me give you one example of how that ugly mind-set has crept deep into our society, and how one woman is fighting back after she was illegally and unconstitutionally disarmed last week. (northwestlibertynews) Clare, MI Senior citizen Sondra White is no criminal. She is no threat, and she has no criminal background. She has not harmed anyone, nor does she intend to. How do I know these things, you ask? I know, because Sondra White is my mother. It began near the end of January with a tenant meeting to discuss the dangerous and rapidly deteriorating structure known in those parts as, Clare Castle, a 3-year-old senior living high-rise located in the middle of Michigans lower mitten. A link to the letter sent by my mother to the other 23 residents can be found here. The residents, whose repeated complaints about breathing drywall dust, hard to open doors, and what can only be described as a raw sewage smell, came together as one unit and met to discuss their grievances. My mother, always outspoken, is the committee chairperson for Clare Castle, and was the meeting organizer. I have included the resulting notes of the resident meeting here (page 1 page 2 ). As I reviewed the written request by the residents, no item listed within them seemed at all unreasonable. You will judge this matter for yourself, no doubt. Keep in mind that these are ALL senior residents, your grandmother or elder parents age. As time would tell, these actions by my mother put a target on her back as a whistleblower and her legally owned firearm came into the cross-hairs. How the knowledge of my mothers firearm came to be known by anyone else but her is murky. Perhaps it came up in a casual conversation with a neighbor? I do not know these facts, but I do know that no laws were broken because her residence is private, and the firearm is legally registered to her. The building manager, who was beginning to feel the heat, had her boss, the Regional Property Manager, respond to the residents on March 7, 2013 with the letter found here ( Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 ). The manager of the Castle, not unlike any other would-be, tin-pot dictator, had established her network of lap-dog snitches who feel important because they are on the inside with someone whom they see as more important. You know these people they make me sick. At any rate, the manager proceeded to pull residents into her office to privately discuss with them their fears about my mother and her legally registered firearm. Evidence of this will be presented later. Although written evidence comes from only one resident, my mother was privately informed that this practice was widespread. Once the managers snitches were questioned, the fix was in, and the hammer fell on March 23rd. A suspicious persons complaint was filed against my mother by the building manager with Threats of a Firearm added to the comments. The official filing can be seen here. Subsequently, the Clare police arrived at my mothers private residence to answer the complaint. Being a small town, the Chief of Police happened to respond to the call. The Chief informed my mother that it is, indeed, her Constitutional right to own a firearm, and since it was legally registered she could have it in her home. He said, however, in order to keep the peace it may be a good idea to take it out of the building. My mother, threatened by the weight of the machine, complied with the Chiefs request and removed her firearm. Her notarized statement can be seen here. Four days later, on March 27th, my mother was served with a 30-day eviction notice. (This is the same day that another resident, Carol Geiling, was called into the managers office to vilify my mother. Carols statement can be found here). The nature of the violation states generally that she frightens other residents and has been threatening to use her gun on them. The lease violation and reason for the eviction can be found here. As time passed, my mothers anxiety grew. Like the sands in an hourglass, the days left for her to have a place to live were slipping away. I spoke to my mother right around that time, her some 1800 miles away, and she expressed to me her concerns. I urged her to stand up and fight, and to stop being a victim. I cannot say for certain how much impact my words had on her, but she did take action a short time later when she received a 7-day notice to move on April 16th. The 7-day eviction notice can be seen here (Page 1 Page 2). My mother, on advice from a friend, went to see Attorney Ghazey H. Aleck, II. Gus, as called by his friends, was the perfect person for the job. He has a long record for defending freedom, and a strong Libertarian background. The request through FOIA for the remaining documents can be seen here. Inside sources have revealed that the police statement is not consistent with the reason for eviction. I will update the documents as they become available. The response by Gus back to the would-be tyrants can be seen here. Names have been kept visible to expose the guilty. As of this writing, the attorneys for the other side want to meet next Tuesday, April 30th, to discuss a resolution. Uh-huh, I bet that they do. Sondra recorded a statement with a summary of events which can be viewed below: Is the building manager an anti-gun liberal, or did the political climate created by the gun-hating mainstream media make my mothers firearm an easy scapegoat to cover up her whistleblowing? Perhaps a bit of both, for I do not pretend to know. I can say this, though; I am willing to bet that there are thousands of senior citizens who are bullied into giving up their legally owned firearms in lieu of a place to live. If this is happening, it needs to be exposed and needs to be stopped. I am advising my mother to insist that a public statement, broadcast or print, is made by the corporation that owns the building. In that statement, they need to make it known, loud and clear, that senior citizens have just as much protection under the Constitution as anyone half their age. And, the 2nd Amendment right afforded to us by the US Constitution does not expire once your Social Security kicks in. Do you have a similar story to share?

1	After waking to a faint rustle of hooves upon fallen leaves and peering out his window to glimpse a silvery mane in the distant mist, President Barack Obama reportedly followed a white stallion through the White House Rose Garden in the early moonlit hours of Thursday morning. The commander-in-chief, who had dozed off at his desk while working late to prepare for summit talks with South Korean president Park Geun-hye, was said to be transfixed by the noble creatures elegant bearing. Wandering out the Oval Offices east door toward where it stood grazing in the dew-covered grass, he found himself frozen in place as the wild horse lifted its head and briefly returned his gaze. Oh my, whispered a breathless Obama, who stepped forward into the night just in time to see the flash of a brilliant white tail disappearing into the swirling fog. Waitcome back! According to reports, the 44th president of the United States gazed longingly into the distance before heading off in pursuit of the stallion, stumbling barefoot through a maze of magnolia trees and into an overgrown oak grove, guided only by the full moon and an occasional ghostly whinnying up ahead. Every time he caught sight of the pale figure, it would reportedly disappear further into the shadow-drenched recesses of the garden, eventually cantering off through a thicket of brambles and onto the South Lawn. Reports indicate that Obama had completely lost track of just where on the White House grounds he was or how long he had been following the animal when he pulled back a thick curtain of vines to find the stallion standing in a small clearing, drinking from a spring. What is this place? he asked in a low voice as he took in the lush, unfamiliar greenery that surrounded him, the horse having led him far deeper into the Rose Garden than he had ever ventured before. Why did you bring me here? My goodness, you really are beautiful, the nations president added as the fog that had enveloped his journey began to clear. Taking in the entirety of the creature for the first time, Obama is said to have slowly approached the animal and paused to appreciate its gentle strength and impressive size, completely mesmerized by the horses grace and poise. The president then slowly lifted his hand to stroke the stallions shimmering mane, running his fingers through its silky strands. Shhh, said Obama, who was reportedly taken aback by the animals eyes, dark orbs that seemed to look directly into the presidents soul. Its almost as if I know you from somewhere. Perhaps I saw you in a dreamcould it be Im dreaming now? he continued, staring into the creatures calm, gleaming eyes. But you feel so real! At that moment, sources said, the stallion simply turned and trotted back toward the woods, leaving the president alone with his thoughts as the first lights of dawn appeared in the sky. Its full majestic form silhouetted by the setting moon as it reared back onto its hind legs, reports confirmed that the horse let out a whinny of farewell, mere seconds before it was shot down in a hail of gunfire by Secret Service snipers.

1	MT. VERNON, ILPatty Walther, a passive, mousy administrative assistant at Datalock Inc., was put in her place Tuesday by sales representative Martin Challey. 'Oh, thank you for coming all the way over to my desk to return that valuable pen,' Challey said sarcastically. 'I don't know how I could've gotten any work done without it. I might've had to use one of the other 20 pens right in front of me.' Challey last berated Walther Monday, when the quiet coworker brought in a plate of homemade brownies. 
3	Big Government: An Unnecessary Evil That Should Be AbolishedBrandon Smith They live by the rule of fear, and their fear drives them to seek control; control of their environment, control of others, and by extension they believe, control of the future. They attempt to mitigate their overwhelming fear by containing the world and sterilizing it of everything wild, untamed, and unknown. They dream of a society of pure predictability, and zero responsibility. They are willing to sacrifice almost anything to attain this position of artificial comfort. The concept of big government appeals to such people for many reasons Government in most cases is nothing but an abstraction. It is merely a tool that serves the interests of a particular group of people at any given time. Modern politics is an expression of the foolish cat fight between factions of people to decide who gets to wield the weapon of government and impose their ideology on the rest of us. At least, thats what it almost always devolves into. The great illusion of the system, though, is that ANY group of average people ever actually wields any power. The truth is, big governments are always operated by very small and exclusive clubs of root beneficiaries out of the sight of the population. Unfortunately, the masses tend to view big government as an inevitability of life; as a natural extension of culture. Rarely if ever do they ask what tangible purpose it serves. Are they really getting what they want out of their government? Or, is the government taking what it wants from them? I have always found the worshipful attitude that some citizens ascribe to government simultaneously fascinating and disturbing, because these people are not bowing down to a wise and benevolent entity. Rather, they are bowing down to their own delusions of what they believe that entity to be. The most dangerous and insidious of governments present themselves as a kind of social vanity mirror. They allow the citizenry to project their collective desires, biases, shortcomings, and fears, and reflect back an image that entices and placates the majority. The lies and manipulations of big government are designed to satiate our basest fantasies, but what we see as a concrete edifice of political and legal might, in the end, is a mirage mired in the fog of our own nave expectations. So, the question again arises; if the structure of big government is built upon deceit and misrepresentation, what tangible purpose does it really serve? The answer is no purposeat least, no purpose that elevates and enriches the public at large. Big government is not a necessary evil. It is just evil. Like the ring of Sauron, it lures in the weak with promises of power, but this power is a ruse. Each side of our false left/right paradigm, Democrat and Republican, thinks that if only THEY were the bearers of the ring they would finally use it for good. But once in their possession, they are overtaken, overwhelmed, and corrupted by personal temptation. The Democratic Party, with all of its proclamations of humanism and respect for civil liberties, is a perfect example. How quickly did the rank and file Democrats turn away from their anti-war, anti-torture, anti-banker, anti-surveillance, anti-tyranny stance once Barack Obama, a self proclaimed Democrat, was placed in office? Very quickly! And what about the common Republican? How many of them utterly abandoned their ideals of limited government, reduced spending, Constitutional rights, and Christian understanding as soon as Bush and the Neo-Con regime was installed? Most of them! And when all is said and done, who has reaped profits and gained dominance during both disastrous administrations? The corporate high priests and international banking cartels, not the oblivious participants of the fake political theater. Yet, a masochistic cycle of misplaced trust in the system on the part of the masses continues If these latest signs of big government corruption arent enough to make the public question the validity of the establishment, Im not sure what will The Rape Of Cyprus Even in the face of unmitigated government theft, I still hear the occasional rationalization of the Cyprus debacle. Defenders of the bailout measures (which the EU demanded) allowing the confiscation of private citizen savings to pay off government mismanaged debt, argue two things: 1) The banks that were targeted contained Russian blood money and hidden funds, so confiscation really amounted to a punishment of rich criminals rather than the Cyprus public. 2) It is better that the citizens go along with the confiscation of a percentage of their accounts, rather than lose everything through collapse. Just to be clear, any sizable Russian funds being stored in Cyprus were removed before the bailout measures were instituted. Therefore, the assertion that such people were punished is a lie and a distraction. The Russian scapegoat was merely being promoted by global financiers and political elites in order to con people around the world (not just those in Cyprus) to accept the concept of government theft of private funds as being moral under certain extraneous circumstances. When a government wants you to set aside your conscience in support of an immoral action that serves their interests, they will almost always conjure a false villain and engineered consequences for you to direct your fear and anger at. Once they can convince you to abandon your own principles to smite an imaginary enemy or avoid a manufactured threat, even if only one time, it will be much easier for them to convince you again a second time. Large and corrupt governments love to use the magic of the false choice. For instance, it is better to sacrifice some of your money and your principles to the establishment than it is to live through total collapse of the nation This false choice process, though, never ends. The offending government will demand more property and more freedom from the citizenry everyday while constantly warning that if we do not submit, the alternative will be far worse. The truth is, Cyprus is not the issue. What the disaster in Cyprus reflects, however, concerns us all. It is a moment of precedence; an action which sets the stage for the final destruction of the idea of private property. It dissolves one of the final barriers to total government control. Governments and elitists have always stolen from the public through misspent taxation and rampant inflation, but with Cyprus, we see a renewed feudalistic paradigm. The EU and the banking hierarchy are sending a message to the Western world: You are now their personal emergency fund, and nothing you own is actually yours anymore. When an institution confiscates property and capital at will from a subdued and frightened populace without consent, they are essentially exploiting the labor of that populace. In any culture or language, this is called slavery. Private Corporations Openly Dictating The Law As most in the Liberty Movement know, the seeds of Fascism germinate in the soil where the corporate world meets the political world. This is one of the primary reasons why we will stop at nothing to eliminate entities like the Federal Reserve; a privately run banking cartel that mingles with government yet answers to no one, including Congress or the people. The Fed has existed since 1913, and has dominated the value and circulation of our currency ever since. However, today, they are taking on new powers As a part of the recent bailout bonanza and the legislation surrounding it, the Fed has begun writing operational policy for other private banking institutions: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/03/26/us-citigroup-moneylaundering-idUSBRE92P0OO20130326 The transition has been subtle but the implications are dangerous. The Fed is becoming a regulatory body with expanding influence outside of the electoral process. It is preparing the ground for other private central banks to become fully unaccountable governing structures. Right now, they are limited to the banking sector, but eventually, this dynamic will poison every aspect of the financial world until every economic decision will be made without any oversight from the public. Moving in a slightly different direction, the Federal Government is beginning to establish law which removes the ability of the public to have any means of redress against particular corporations. The Monsanto Protection Act hidden within the pages of the HR 933 spending bill creates special circumstances that protect the GMO producer from litigation and public examination over the dangerous genetic products it markets. This legislation, in essence, builds a coalition between Monsanto and the government, and even allows Monsanto in some cases to dictate what the government can and cannot do when dealing with GMOs. The Obama Administrations support of this bill should be a shock to any environmentally inclined Democrat, and any Democrat who is still willing to defend Obama after learning of this legislation, in my opinion, is a lost cause. This move on the part of our government is striking because of its open criminality. It shows that we have entered a new stage of the totalitarian process; one that will invariably lead us to catastrophe. Legislation By Special Interest Group In the halls of big government, politicians do not produce major legislation. Rather, bureaucrats and think tanks fashion policy while elected officials serve as mouthpieces and middlemen. How often do we discover after the passage of particularly nefarious pieces of legislation that the politicians who voted for them NEVER read the bills themselves? This past week, sources within NY governor Andrew Cuomos administration claimed that he didnt actually read the NY Safe Act before championing it, and blamed the vast mistakes and unconstitutional oversteps of the bill on Mayor Bloomberg and the Brady Center. http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/gov_faking_care_of_business_execs_9uIcEq5lJPk96ayylaRAGL Now, I do not believe that Cuomo was not aware of the implications of the Safe Act, even if he didnt read the bill. But I do believe that the bill was drafted purely by special interest groups like the Brady Center without any oversight from actual state legislators, who then passed it overnight without a second thought. In a big government system, legislative wrangling is non-stop. A bureaucracy thrives on the endless introduction of new laws and new restrictions, and so it makes perfect sense that political representatives, who now act merely as mascots, never have the time to read all the paperwork. Why would they read it, when they are no longer making decisions on such policies anyway? All they have to do is vote how they are told to vote by their handlers, and trust that they will be protected by the establishment from public anger. Legislation by proxy is rampant in our government today, and it begs us to consider this If our government has become so oversized and complex that our elected leaders can no longer oversee the actual writing of legislation and must use private think tanks to write it for them, perhaps we should cut the system down until their work load is manageable. The alternative is a legal and political structure that is engineered entirely by obscure interest groups with an agenda, and this is highly unacceptable. Complete Disregard For Individual Rights In the evolution of big government, there comes a point at which the oligarchy has attained enough power that it feels safe in admitting its true intentions. Usually, this is done in the name of the greater good. Sometimes, they dont even try to sugar coat it. This past week, NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg in an unguarded moment stated the underlying philosophy behind the impositions of government control over the people. When questioned about the Constitutionality of the growing drone surveillance grid in American skies, Bloomberg had this to say: Everybody wants their privacy, but I dont know how youre going to maintain it. Its just were going into a different world, uncharted, and, like it or not, what people can do, what governments can do, is different. And you can to some extent control, but you cant keep the tides from coming in. The argument against using automation, its this craziness oh, its Big Brother. Get used to it. http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/bloomberg-new-york-eventually-surveillance-city-article-1.1296103 And there you have it. The new age (for Bloomberg and big government elites like him) is a place in which government is separate and above the people. The government does not exist to serve the citizenry; the citizenry exists to serve the government. Privacy is a privilege that governments can take anytime they wish. Citizens, being slaves, should not expect such privileges. And, this subjugated nightmare world is a place that we must accept as a natural extension of progress. Big Brother is the future, so grow up and get used to it I will not be getting used to it, and neither will millions of Americans like me. Well tear the whole monstrosity down first. Institutions of law and order are supposed to reflect the highest inherent principles of humanity and defend those principles regardless of the nature of the times. Honor and conscience do not suddenly become obsolete simply because danger looms, or catastrophe strikes. Big government bastardizes the original intent of the founders, who formed a small subservient central federal structure to fulfill one purpose as a protector of the natural freedoms of the population. The federal system was never meant to have any domestic power beyond this task, nor should it. Today, as we have shown over and over again, the centralized political behemoth we live under is absolutely unnecessary and completely destructive to the freedom and prosperity of the culture it was originally tasked to defend. It can and must be dissolved, and it is time for average Americans to deeply and seriously ponder this option rather than ignorantly assume that because it exists, it should exist. Otherwise, like a weaponized cancer, it will devour what is left of the healthy fabric of our society and destroy whatever good remains within us.

3	What If The Persistent Contrails Myth Was Real?Overview of fictional scenario for remaining myth believers Imagine if once upon a time you were caught up in a dream posing a simple question. The question in the dream was: what if persistent contrails were real? What if the claim that, ordinary planes can randomly fly around on warm, dry, cold, and moist days alike, and leave a condensation vapor trail that actually stays in the sky all day and even blocks off the sunlight; what if all of this were true? In this world, condensation trails that persist in the sky and become clouds that block off our normal sunlight, turning sunny days into cloudy days, are a perfectly normal phenomenon. All concerns about the environment being attributed to these persistent trails would be open issues which would be discussed by appropriate environmental groups, politicians and concerned citizens on a regular basis. In this fictional world, people everywhere, including the media and Hollywood, would be comfortable with a random discussion about condensation trails and the damage they pose or dont pose to the equilibrium of the Earth and its atmosphere. If someone felt differently about the matter it wouldnt be that big of a deal as it would be understood that everyone might see the issue slightly different. In this scenario the typical person might be intrigued by the idea that there is a possibility that we dont know just how much damage these persistent trails are causing. Groups that demanded to know where those experiments are that prove this to be a normal phenomenon would be considered a group of caring concerned citizens. Of course, in order to publicize important knowledge about the Earth, the atmosphere and the effect the persistent trails might have on both, we would witness a government that shares all of its scientific data with the scientific community and one that would even implement easy experimental steps for showing how persistent contrails come to be and how they persist in warm dry weather (southern California or Nevada for example). By sharing this simple information government might encourage monetary donations from the private sector for expanding solutions to this phenomenon. These easily reproducible experiments would likely even form the back-bone of elementary school science text books. In this fictional world, any given day we might see or hear a report about studies being done to measure just how much less sunlight the Earth is receiving when the skies are covered and how that might impact global temperatures. In this world we would hear from geoengineers as they present all the proof of their claims. Networks, journalists and private citizens would challenge geoengineers who claim they want to spray the atmosphere and admit that this spraying can create an ice age. Many would pose questions to such government hired geoengineers about how to put into perspective the incredible persistent contrails phenomenon already observed for years with the suggestions for spraying the atmosphere to make the Earth cooler. Some questions posed to government geoengineers might sound something like this: If only for educational purposes, government would make information available for everyone, about where they can download these experiments that were conducted including its reproducible results in case someone wants to duplicate it as part of a school project. Other considerations may include: Passively calling out the wolf in sheeps clothing As your, what if, dream continues, people would regularly give accounts about the commercial planes in which they traveled, leaving trails of condensation that last all day. In some social circles it wouldnt be impossible to hear two people playfully comparing contrail size or attributing certain plane types with longer or shorter contrails. Flight tracking data would regularly identify those commercial planes that are leaving persistent contrails and anyone could gather those plane flight numbers and keep an open list for everyone to see. Flights and trails might even be a part of an on-line game where you have to guess which plane will make contrails or how long these trails will be for that particular plane. In cold regions like the northeast or other parts of the world, under the right conditions commercial planes would possibly be seen still leaving long permanent trails even as they touch down at the airport runways. On another note, given that persistent condensation trails are real, it may be observed that people old enough to remember might be a little dismayed as to how no advertising pictures, brochures, movies or family photos from the 90s, and especially the 80s and earlier indicated persistent contrails in the sky. Given that planes have been around over 100 years, psychologists would likely pose scenarios for how entire generations of people now have no recollection of even one trail in the sky, yet now they are a normal phenomenon. As a result of this strange phenomenon, researchers, professors and students of both science and psychology would question why this might be and consider if it were possible that a multitude of generations all at once could be experiencing a memory problem. If confirmed, this memory problem could lead to some yet unknown insight about memory and how the brain works. Finally, if this fictional world of persistent contrails were real, this article would be taken light-heartedly by those claiming they have confirmed that the persistent contrails are real. They would beam with confidence knowing that all their claims are scientifically sound. At the conclusion of this article they would quickly and confidently point to a huge volume of easy and reproducible experiments (not government abstracts) that put an end to the issue. Upon the presentation of these easy, transparent experiments and upon observing the manifestation of all the challenges presented here those questioning this persistent contrails truth would giggle it off and attribute all of this activism and environmental concerns to a little misunderstanding of information that had been available but accidentally kept secret to the public. Then, just as you ponder all of this information, you notice something happens. Just as you are considering all of these possibilities you WAKE UP and realize here we are in the real world and all that I have just described is fictional, never happened and never will. The time is now to become informed about the greatest crime of all time. Help expose chemical spraying operations that now threaten the equilibrium of the Earth due to global dimming. The constant spraying has also weaponized the atmosphere with metal particles and is creating a global dimming that is a threat to our absorption of sunlight needed for Vitamin D synthesis. Read up on the importance of vitamin D to the human body and try to see just how dangerous these operations are even if they decrease a fraction of the Earths sunlight or dump any amount of metal particles into the air that can cross the human blood-brain barrier (which nano-sized particles can easily do). The next time you see a chemtrail plane remind yourself that the other 99 percent of planes flying over your local sky are NOT leaving trails. Videotape the entire spraying process from blue sky to white sky and then speed up the video with editing software to help you recognize the agenda a little more. See the patterns they are spraying; do your own soil, water, air or rain sample and see the elevated metal particle levels for yourself. Try to convince yourself to get involved in this battle for our environment and our lives. This fictional scenario and the accompanying arguments are discussed to aid in illustrating all the things that are not happening regarding the quirky government contrails claims and to remind us how dramatically incidental simple, honest studies differ from a planned, deceptive and ominous government-controlled agenda. The difference is miles long, can you appreciate this?

1	Saying that things are only going to keep getting worse unless its willing to step up and make some changes, millions of frustrated Americans wondered this week why the nations struggling mental health system couldnt just snap out of its funk and pull itself together. Citing reports that an estimated 91 million Americans live in areas where shortages of mental health professionals make getting treatment difficult and that the mental health system had lost $4.35 billion in state funding from 20092012, exasperated citizens from across the country said they had finally reached their limit with the network of medical professionals, inpatient facilities, and long-term treatment programs that apparently lacked the willpower to improve its situation. Look, I know its been a rough couple of years and things havent exactly gotten any easier lately, but this cant go on, said Oakland, CA resident Marissa Thomas, adding she had lost all patience waiting for the mental health system to stop wallowing in its struggles and make a concerted effort to get its act together. Eventually, its got to want to fix itself. No ones going to waltz in one day, wave a magic wand, and make all these troubles disappear, continued Thomas, who said she was beyond exhausted with the mental health systems inability to accommodate the estimated 600,000 severely mentally ill individuals who annually end up homeless, in prisons, or dead from suicide. It just keeps having the same issues over and over again and doesnt do a thing about them. Im pretty much numb to it at this point. As the nations mental health care system continues to sink deeper and deeper into despair, even failing to perform basic tasks such as routine mental health evaluations and emergency counseling services, Americans have reportedly begun to wonder if it has any desire at all to take responsibility for its current state or if it will just continue to burden the people close to it. Many also expressed alarm at the struggling systems potential to cause harm not only to itself but others as well. I honestly dont feel comfortable being around it anymore, said Raleigh, NC resident Patrick Leets, noting that the nations network of behavior health services only makes things worse by comparing itself to free and universally accessible systems like the United Kingdoms. Its just so unpredictable. Until it finally recognizes whats best for it and puts in some actual initiative to get back on its feet, Im keeping my distance. I mean, Christ, look at the education systemits been in terrible shape for years, but its doing what it can to make the best of a difficult situation, he added. Sources confirmed that many citizens have found supporting the troubled mental health system a hopeless exercise, saying that it simply needs to decide whether it wants to get well or waste away. To be honest, its getting to a point where I feel like I just need to wash my hands clean of the situation, said Anna Kivolowitz of Salem, OR. I relied on the mental health care system for years, but now I realize I just cant do it anymore. If it doesnt want to take care of itself, theres no way itll be there for me. But its out of my control, she added. Im done dealing with it. Im just done. At press time, Americans said they were sorry and that they hadnt meant to come off so harshly because they knew their mental health system didnt want to be a problem, all the while reportedly resigning themselves to the fact that this was probably as healthy as the system was ever going to be.

3	Chemical Used in Teflon Non-Stick Cookware Linked to Heart DiseaseElizabeth Renter Also, those with higher PFOA, had a 78 percent higher risk of peripheral heart diseasewhere arteries narrow and harden. Researchers say there is no hard evidence that the PFOA causes heart diseases or otherwise increases someones risk, merely that the conditions co-exist. What we are finding is that high levels of PFOA and cardiovascular disease coexisted for some reason. That is all, said lead author Dr. Anoop Shgankar with the West Virginia University School of Public Health. It is possible that we are seeing something that is just a bystander and is there because of confounding associations. So, if something causes mutations in cells, as in cancer, wouldnt it make sense that it could lead to a whole host of other health concerns? Along with the increasingly well-known knowledge that the toxic fumes emitted from non-stick cookware can make a bird drop dead if its in the same room, PFOA has also been shown to cause conditions such aslow birth weight and organ-specific oxidative DNA damage. But PFOA is still found in some non-stick pansits the coating that allows people to use less oil. And with 98 percent of Americans walking around with PFOA in their bodies, its definitely something to be concerned about. What can you do? If you havent already, stop using non-stick pans. Cast iron is a far better choice, and will last a lifetime.

2	Citizens Fight Back, Call On Congress To DeWith Michelle Obama in the public eye so often, one may find themselves wondering exactly what role the First Lady plays in the execution of tasks at the White House. Of course the answer is that Michelle has no role in that. Yet, she continues to make a living off of taxpayer dollars, just for being married to the president. What Michelle fails to recognize, however, is that her role should not included funded trips to travel the world or invest a ton of resources in a school lunch program. Now, one citizen is calling for Michelle to be defunded. According to a report from Western Journalism: There is not one reason in the world why any First Spouse should get a dime of taxpayers money. Americans do not want an activist First Spouse. They certainly do not want some self-important, un-elected know-it-all intruding on their most private decisions and wasting their hard-earned tax money. Nowhere else in American politics does the spouse of the electedofficialact in such an overbearing, arrogant manner, as though they have some sort ofofficialauthority over the citizens of America! No Governors spouse would ever think of loading up their travel itinerary with multiplevacationson the backs of the taxpayers. No mayors, no one. In short, we need legislation to define the First Spouse as what it is. 
2	More and More States Deny Sharia Law In Court System Over the past few years, weve seen a dramatic increase in the number of the states taking action to protect their legal system from the implementation of Sharia Law. Of course, liberals argue that the move is an unnecessary one, designed to perpetuate discrimination against the Muslim population. Its hard to ignore the facts here. There is a reason why states like South Carolina are passing measures like H 3521, which excludes foreign law form being used in the state. The General Assembly finds that it shall be the public policy of this State to protect its citizens from the application of foreign lawswhen the application of foreign law will result in the violation of a right guaranteed by the Constitution of this State or of the United States, the bill reads. The measure was initially introduced by Rep. Chip Limehouse, who argues that it is necessary because Islamic law has, in fact, been used as a defense in South Carolinas courtrooms in the past. This goes to demonstrate that the South Carolina House of Representatives is committed to preserving and protecting the American way of life here in South Carolina, Limehouse told Breitbart. Sharia law cannot and will not be used as a legal defense in the state of South Carolina. What do you think? Do you support actions being taken to protect our Constitution?

2	The U.S. State Department Just Blind Sided Hillary With THIS She Is Going To Serve Time During last weeks press conference, Hillary Clinton claims that the emails she sent from her private email address while she served as Secretary of State were immediately saved. Not surprisingly, new information has come to the surface indicating that this is not the case. Clinton has already released some of the emails from the personal address to The Select Committee on Benghazi, but another 30,000 emails have been deleted. Clinton claims they are all personal. And when I got there, I wanted to just use one device for both personal and work e-mails, instead of two, Clinton attempted to explain herself. It was allowed. And as I said, it was for convenience. And it was my practice to communicate with State Department and other government officials on their government accounts so those e-mails would be automatically saved in the State Department system to meet record-keeping requirements, and that, indeed, is what happened. However, State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki has come forward to say that the department did not start automatically saving emails until the beginning of this year. That means that prior to 2015, senior officials were responsible for preserving their own official records. There were ways to preserve and employees and individuals were expected to do that prior to this new process, Psaki confirms. And an inspector general has already confirmed that archiving was not taking place on a regular basis. The report also claims that some employees were not preserving emails because they do not want to make the email available in searches or fear that this availability would inhibit debate about pending decisions. The worst part? The emails may not be recoverable. What do you think of Clintons false claims? Is she simply lying through her teeth? 
1	Thirty-four lone-wolf detectives and beat officers from Los Angeles' 77th Police Precinct received unpaid three-month suspensions Monday for unprofessional and insubordinate conduct that their chief said he's tolerated for the 'last goddamn time.' Detective Roger 'Apeshit' McAdams is one of the 34 loose cannons, screwballs, head cases, and real grade-A hard-asses recently suspended from active duty at Los Angeles' 77th Precinct. The police officers have been subjected to scathing public criticism over the years for their tendency to play by their own rules, which include refusing to obtain warrants, beating up junkies to extract information, and hurling corrupt city officials through plate-glass windows on more than 60 occasions. 'I called those sons of bitches into my office one by one and made them hand over their badges and guns,' Los Angeles Police Department chief William J. Bratton said. 'I know deep down that McCluskey's a good man, but he needs to shape up or ship out. Same goes for Conroy, McAdams, Peterman, Black, Grimwald, Tobias, Keating, and McAllister.' 'Also Cobb, Williams, Miller, Sanchez, Rutgers, Grodinger, Spencer, Smith, Anderson, Garcia, Walker, Thompson, Nelson, Collins, Ellroy, Morris, Coleman, Gibson, Payne, Matthews, Gonzalez, Jacobs, Hoffman, Walters, and Hopkins,' Bratton added. Although the precinct has boasted a 100 percent arrest rate since 1988, fewer than 2 percent of the indicted offenders have gone to trial, since the vast majority of drug dealers, child molesters, and serial killers investigated by the 77th Precinct have died or disappeared before their court dates. The 34 officers have caused an estimated $98 million in property damage over two decades, and the LAPD has reportedly received 1,239 citizen complaints about their conduct this summer alone. In addition, each of the suspended officers has suffered nonfatal bullet wounds to the left shoulder. Despite their many infractions, precinct commander Thomas Henderson defended the officers as 'the best damn men on the whole force.' Detective Sonny 'Mad Dog' Grodinger 'I don't always necessarily agree with their cockeyed methods, but, I've got to admit, they get results,' Henderson said. 'And they save the department thousands in chair costs by sitting on the corners of their desks.' The suspensions leave the 77th Precinct virtually depleted of staff. The shortage is compounded by the recent tragic loss of the 34 suspended officers' partners, who were reportedly gunned down in warehouses across the city while doing something brave. According to internal affairs investigator Lee Birk, the officers have not filed a single police report in 10 years, routinely shoot out the tires of double-parked cars, and have punched out 232 paid police informants who, they later explained, made them 'want to puke.' 'They destroyed every single squad car and helicopter in the department and ruined the annual policeman's ball more than once,' Birk said. 'If they didn't prevent the terrorists from blowing up City Hall, they would have all been out on their collective asses.' The officers' darkest moment reportedly came in November 1992, when they shot and killed three dozen children who darted out of a dark alley holding toy guns. Following the incident, Henderson traveled to the San Pedro, CA marina where all 34 officers docked their houseboats. He found them passed out with bottles of Wild Turkey in their left hands and .44-caliber Magnum handguns in their right. 'I dragged every one of those sorry bastards into the shower myself, brewed 28 gallons of coffee, and made them drink it. By the time I was done, it was 3 a.m. and I was completely exhausted, but I got them back on the right track,' Henderson said. City Council candidate Bernard Lawry angrily condemned the rogue officers during a speech at a fundraiser at the Getty Center Monday evening. 'These men are a scourge on our society, and there is no place for this kind of behavior,' Lawry said. Seconds later, the suspended detectives burst into the room, exposed Lawry as the ringleader of an underground child prostitution ring, and escorted him to an awaiting police van in 34 pairs of handcuffs. For their role in apprehending Lawry, Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa rewarded the officers with a mass promotion to police lieutenant. But in the ceremony at City Hall Tuesday, the officers all turned down their promotions by simultaneously throwing their lieutenant's bars to the ground. 'Get that damn thing out of my face,' Detective Bruce Walker said as he and his 33 colleagues shoved TV news cameras out of their way. 'I've got work to do.'

3	FDA Limits Usage of Antibiotics in Livestock After Activist OutcryAnthony Gucciardi However, the FDA is not completely revoking approval for the antibiotics, only placing an order for farmers to stop using the drugs solely to help animals grow whats more, the farmers are given another 3 years before any real legal action goes into effect. The initial proposal was introduced back in 1977, and the FDA has stalled for decades to give a final answer. That means that antibiotics used to treat animal diseases, or even prevent future diseases, will be perfectly fine under these guidelines. The result may have to do with the livestock corporate juggernauts, who refused to admit that the mass drugging of animals with superbug-breeding antibiotics posed any real threat to the public. Many consumer activists, such as Laura Rogers from thePew Campaign on Human Health and Industrial Farming, fear that these new guidelines are so broad that they mean virtually nothing. If you were to ask me whats the biggest gap, its that theyve left way too much wiggle room [leeway] when it comes to preventative uses, said Rogers. Thats going to have to be shored up [i.e., made more specific] in order for this action to be meaningful. In fact, the resistanttuberculosis strains a direct result of excess antibiotic consumption are so serious that scientists are calling it the new white plague. Even members of the World Health Organizations Stop TB Partnership are outraged over the man-made disease progression, with memberLucica Ditiustating thatthe drug-resistant TB is a totally man-made disease. Outside of super viruses, antibiotics have also been linked to mental illness as a result of compromised gut health.

1	A spokesperson for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives announced Tuesday that the agency has intensified its manhunt for an individual suspected of bumming more than 75,000 cigarettes nationwide. ATF agents, who have tracked the elusive cigarette moocher for nearly four years, claimed they could be just days away from apprehending the 'single greatest threat' to American smokers. 'For far too long, this lowlife criminal has preyed upon unsuspecting cigarette owners,' ATF spokesman Stuart Thompson said. 'However, we are confident that recent developments will finally allow us to bring down this menace to justice once and for all.' Agents investigating the site of the most recent bumming believe the fugitive may have struck four times in one night. 'Mark my words,' Thompson continued. 'His days of annoying the living crap out of smokers everywhere will soon be over.' Representing the largest investigation in ATF history, the nationwide dragnet has nearly exhausted the agency's resources, with daily operating costs exceeding $2.5 million, and more than 1,500 federal agents being mobilized in hopes of stopping the serial bummer before he strikes again. A special bulletin released by the ATF warned that citizens should be on the lookout for a Caucasian male in his early to mid-20s, with absolutely no sense of social etiquette whatsoever. The moocher is reportedly also known for having never once purchased his own pack of cigarettes, falsely claiming that he only smokes when he's been drinking, and thanking his victims to an insufferable degree after the bumming has occurred. In addition, investigators have described the freeloader as being constantly in need of a light. Despite tracking the suspect on his cigarette-bumming spree across three state lines, investigators have failed to detect any discernable pattern to the mooching. Preliminary analysis has concluded that the perpetrator is equally comfortable stalking his victims around college campuses, parks, local bars, and at all hours of the day and night. In each instance, however, the moocher was observed to exploit the sympathies of nearby smokers by claiming that he had 'just smoked his last one.' 'This individual will say anything to get a cigarette,' said ATF agent Gene Lorenzo, who while searching the agency's database found 20,000 instances of the offender alleging that he was totally trying to quit, but was having a shitty day. 'He's a smooth talker who befriends you, and before you know what's going on, half your pack is gone.' 'And trust me,' Lorenzo added. 'He's never going to get you back like he promises. Never.' Since 2001, the ATF has conducted interviews with people who have encountered the cigarette bummer to better understand how he chooses his victims. Diane Gustercan, a Denver bank teller, said the culprit first approached her when she was having a smoke after work. 'It was awful,' said Gustercan, who helped officials assemble a profile of the bummer. 'He came straight up to me and he said, 'I hate to be that guy, and I hate to even ask, but do you think I could get a smoke off you?'' 'I felt so helpless,' Gustercan continued. 'It was like there was nothing I could do.' 'No smoker is safe while that man's still out there,' Kentucky resident and local barfly Dale Richardson said. 'He hit me up three times in the same night. Tried to chat with me for a little bit too so I wouldn't feel bad about it. I finally just gave him a cigarette so he'd leave me the hell alone.' According to an internal report, the perpetrator uses a number of clever cons to successfully mooch cigarettes. The agency's data confirmed that these include halfheartedly offering to pay 25 cents for a smoke, and hovering around two people engaged in conversation while desperately miming for a cigarette with his index and middle fingers. Despite working with local law enforcement across the country, the ATF has for months struggled to home in on the suspect, largely because he leaves so few clues behind. 'Six months ago, we received a tip that the moocher was at a Staples parking lot in Omaha,' agent Alex Leonard said. 'We spent hours combing the area and finally came up with a cigarette, but it was burned beyond all recognition.' 'He definitely knows what he's doing,' Leonard continued. 'Sooner or later though, he's bound to slip up. And when he does, we'll be there. We'll catch that slimy piece of shit.' A break in the case this morning nearly netted the notorious moocher, but officials reportedly let the fugitive slip away when he approached several officers during their smoke break, asked for a cigarette, and quietly went on his way. 
2	Obama Infringes On The Rights Of Christians With THIS Absurd New Policy Obama has just declared war on Christians and Christmas. Obamas Department of Veteran Affairs is refusing to let government employees say Merry Christmas and refuses to let them buy Christmas trees. This is a complete violation of the rights of these employees. They should not be stopped from celebrating their Christian faith. Christmas music has also been banned. Basically, Obama is trying to suppress the expression of Christianity. We wonder where his motives truly lie. Congress is working to overturn this policy, and Christmas trees are in the process of being brought back. Obama has gone too far this time. Do you think all Christians should be able to freely express their faith?

2	Muslim Rioters Verbally And Physically Abuse Christian Protestors President Obama and his administration likes to pretend that the idea that Muslims and Sharia law could one day take over America is one fueled in racism and bigotry. Meanwhile, were seeing the attack on Christianity unfold throughout the country. A recent video went viral showing Christian street preachers being assaulted on the streets of Dearborn, Michigan. They were brutally attacked for carrying placards and wearing T-shirts expressing their Christian beliefs during the annual Dearborn Arab Festival. It didnt take long for a crowd of Arab Muslim Festival attendees to escalate to violencepushing, shoving and throwing objects at the Christians. The footage clearly shows bottles, eggs, rocks and more being thrown at the Christians as the crowd chants Allahu Akbar. Perhaps the most disturbing thing about the incident is that the Christians asked for protection from nearby officers from Wayne Countys Sherriffs Department (WCSD), but they were repeatedly denied. It is clear and day that the crowd could face assault and battery chargesand they should be facing these charges. Instead, they remain unpunished, and we are left only with yet another example of law enforcement failing to defend the First Amendment and stand up for the rights of American Christians. Incidents like these only fuel rumors and increase the threat of cities with large Islamic populations, where Sharia law is commonly accepted as if it were American law. And groups like Muslims Against the Crusades have openly campaigned for enclaves ruled by Islamic law to be established. This is not a story that Christians are making up. It is happening throughout the world and needs to be stopped. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Does Obama need to step up to the plate and stop denying the reality that is right in front of him?

1	Researchers from the University of Illinois released a new study of occupational hazards Wednesday revealing that 90 percent of workplace injuries in the United States are caused by bare-knuckle boxing. According to our data, roughly nine of every 10 injuries that occur on the job stem from incidents in which two employees stand up from their desks, roll up their sleeves, clench their raised hands in fists, and then circle each other before unleashing a barrage of gloveless blows, said lead researcher Carol Skelton, adding that, while fisticuffs-related bruises, cuts, and bone fractures most often occur in large, open areas like lobbies and conference rooms, it was not uncommon for impromptu slugfests to break out in kitchenettes, server rooms, or between rows of cubicles. Additionally, we found that the most severe instances of bodily harm in offices typically transpire when one worker has another pinned up against a whiteboard or printing station and is pummeling them with a brutal combination of vicious jabs and hooks. While employers cant eliminate all workplace injuries, they can take common-sense measures to reduce them by strictly limiting rounds to three minutes each. The study also found that nearly 100 hours of productivity are lost each year to employees crowding around pairs of sparring coworkers and shouting bets. 
3	FBI Entrapment Snares More VictimsStephen Lendman, Contributor Entrapment occurs when law enforcement officials or agents induce, influence, or provoke crimes that otherwise wouldnt be committed. It doesnt apply if subjects willingly act lawlessly. Government aiding, abetting, or facilitating them is considered lawful. Entrapment involves government operatives initiating the idea. If individuals go along under pressure despite no intent or desire to do so, they committed no crime. To convict, prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that subjects werent entrapped. Otherwise, judicial fairness requires exoneration. Thats not how things turn out today. Innocence or guilt doesnt matter. Once charged, prosecutorial misconduct and right-wing courts convict. Juries are pressured and intimidated to go along even in cases with no plot, no crime, or intent to commit one. Attorney Eric Holder defends the practice. He calls stings a vital tool. He stops short of admitting entrapment. He must because its illegal. Its nonetheless repeatedly used to convict innocent people. As a result, hundreds rot unjustly in Americas gulag. Orchestrated stings are used. US Legal.com defines them as: deceptive operation(s) designed to nab criminals. Generally, a law-enforcement officer or cooperative member of the public play a role as criminal partner or potential victim and go along with a suspects actions to gather evidence of the suspects wrongdoing. If entrapments not used, its legal. The word sting derives from the practice of using undercover cops to catch criminals. It means set(ting) a trap to catch a crook. Alleged terror plots are fake. Most are manufactured out of whole cloth. Evidence doesnt exist so its invented. Paid informants are used. Innocent subjects are targeted and convicted. Nearly always, stings involving entrapment occur. Post-9/11, counterterrorism has been the FBIs top priority. At issue isnt innocence or guilt. Its snaring victims. Its about heightening fear for political advantage and providing justification for homeland repression and imperial lawlessness. Thousands of FBI agents work cooperatively with paid informants. Persecution today is COINTELPRO writ large. Societys most vulnerable are targeted. Muslims are most of all, though others also get entrapped and convicted on bogus charges. In October 2011, a Mother Jones article headlined The Informants. It said they can be doctors, clerks, imams, or virtually anyone. At times, theyre subjects facing lesser charges, undocumented immigrants subject to deportation, or convicted criminals. In all cases, theyre promised leniency for cooperating. Handlers direct them. Theyre enlisted to find people sympathetic to jihadists or angry about government policy. Often they infiltrate local groups to entrap nonviolent Muslims and other targeted subjects. Names FBI gets are cross-referenced with known intelligence data. Informants approach targeted subjects by posing as a radical. Sometimes (hell) propose a plot, provide explosives, even lead the target in a fake oath to Al Qaeda. Once enough incriminating information has been gathered, theres an arrestand a press conference announcing another foiled plot. Headlines announcing terror suspect arrests follow variations on a common theme. Targeted subjects are innocent. Charges brought are false. One victim follows another. Despite no plot, crime, or intent to commit one, Muslims were convicted of conspiring to attack soldiers at Fort Dix, NJ. Other cases involved alleged plans to attack US marines at Quantico, VA, down National Guard jets with stinger missiles, target Pakistans ambassador with a surface-to-air missile, blow up Chicagos Sears Tower, and others just as preposterous. They include a fake shoe bomber, fake underwear bomber, two fake Times Square bomber plots, fake shampoo bombers, fake Al Qaeda woman plot against New York landmarks, fake Oregon bomber, fake armed forces recruiting station bomber, fake 9/11 bombers, and others to enlist public support for the fake war on terror. Muslims nearly always are charged. Accusations are bogus. Courts convict by accusation. Justice nearly always is denied. Informants are well paid to entrap. Six figure compensation is common. A lawyer representing one subject said: The problem with the cases were talking about is that defendants would not have done anything if not kicked in the ass by government agents. FBI agents creat(e) crimes to solve (them) so they can claim victories in the war on terror. In the process, constitutional rights are trampled. Informants are coerced, well paid to cooperate, and used to entrap again. Experts say beating the government at its own game is near impossible. Once charged, convictions nearly always follow. If not, new charges are filed. Prosecutions continue until subjects end up in prison. Five Men Charged in Bridge Bombing Plot On May 1, the FBI charged them with plotting to bomb a bridge 15 miles south of downtown Cleveland. It links two wealthy suburbs. Unknowingly, a sting operation entrapped them. Authorities called them anarchists. An informant named CHS pressured them for months. He was wired to record conversations. The case followed CHS sent to an Occupy Cleveland demonstration last October. He was told to investigate alleged criminal activity and threats involving anarchists. Occupy Cleveland organizer Debbie Kline said the men in no way represent(ed) or act(ed) on behalf of the initiative. Subjects were identified, pressed, and supplied fake explosives for a plot they never imagined or intended. Reports said some are mentally unstable. According to the FBIs own affidavit, CHS has a criminal record including one conviction for possession of cocaine in 1990, one conviction for robbery in 1991, and four convictions for passing bad checks between 1991 and 2011. The affidavit also explains the subjects suggested using smoke or sting bombs, as well as knocking signs off downtown Cleveland buildings. They considered it civil disobedience, not terrorism. They wanted to send a message to corporations and the United States government. Subjects neither planned or intended to commit violence. CHS orchestrated it. Subjects were entrapped. Recorded conversations showed informant pressure to detonate explosives. How much money we need to make plastic explosives, CHS asked. He then pressed, saying: You gotta get with me, uh, if we gonna be trying to do something in a month you need to get with me as soon as possible on how much money we gonna need. He suggested a bridge to bomb. He showed subjects the site, and claimed he had access to C4 explosives. At one point, suspect Brandon Baxter said he was just throwing around ideas and does not know exactly what they should do. Similar discussions followed. Subjects were pressed. They neither expressed willingness or desire to commit violence. They were targeted for unpopular political views, not intent to commit crime. Subjects told CHS they didnt want people to think theyre terrorists. At a March 28 meeting, Douglas Wright rejected the idea of buying heavy stuff. CHS pressured him and others. The FBI affidavit admits they didnt agree to bomb a bridge. They called doing so a crime. If convicted they faced long prison terms and fines, perhaps at Guantanamo they fear. CHS offered decoy license plates and an alibi for protection. On May 1, they were arrested on charges of conspiracy to commit terrorism, possession of explosives, engaging in hostilities against the United States, and related offenses. According to US Attorney Steven Dettelback: This case demonstrates that the threat we face is a diverse one; that terrorism can come in many hues and from many homelands. Magistrate Judge Greg White ordered them jailed without bond, pending a May 7 hearing. Subjects appeared in court in wrist and waist shackles. Rest assured, convictions will follow. Kangaroo proceedings assure it. Subjects are guilty by accusation even though innocent of any crime or intent to commit one. Thats how American justice today works.

1	In a real-life fight for survival last week, area resident Jerry Svoboda was forced to prepare his own meals rather than succumb to the threat of starvation. Plovis resident Jerry Svoboda suffered 72 hours of food deprivation when his wife was stranded out of town, surviving only by sucking on soup cans he punctured with a lug wrench. He has since been trained to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches should the need for emergency self-feeding ever again arise. 'It was a living nightmare,' a recovering Svoboda said from the acute psychiatric wing of St. Jude's Hospital, where he is currently undergoing treatment for post-deprivation trauma. 'I didn't want to, but I had to. It was a case of survival, pure and simple. It was do or die.' According to reports, Svoboda's wife of seven years, Linda Svoboda, was visiting her sister in Kansas City when an unexpected auto repair emergency left her stranded there for three days. Her drive home delayed indefinitely, she was unable to provide Svoboda with life-giving foodstuffs for over 72 hours. Although police and investigative authorities are still gathering data, early reconstructions indicate that Svoboda, 31, ran out of the pre-prepared sack lunches and frozen spaghetti dinners his wife had left him before her trip at approximately 9:15 p.m. Wednesday, probably during the local telecast of the Prairieville/Dunston high school football game. Once supplies ran out, actual realization of the situation dawned slowly in the victim, who simply drank the remaining cans of beer in the house in lieu of food for several hours, before finally breaking down and coming to grips with the full extent of the situation at approximately 11:45 p.m. 'At this time, we can most likely assume that Svoboda began searching the house for chips,' rescue worker Tony Jameson said. 'Cereal too, anything crunchy, bite-sized and readily edible without needing to be in any way cooked or otherwise heated. Within a few hours, though, he had depleted the home's limited chips supply. There was no beer left, and the mixture of alcohol and salt, combined with the total lack of nutrients in either substance, left him in a state of dehydration. He was alone. He was scared. He must have gone through hell.' From the Svobodas' split-level ranch in nearby Plovis, Linda responded by putting her hands on her hips and saying, 'Men!' She added that if she had warned her husband about the car rattling once, she had done so approximately 1,000 times. Police examinations of the Svoboda home indicate that upon finishing the chips, Svoboda apparently began to panic, randomly throwing household items in the microwave and superheating them. Photographs taken at the scene support this theory, depicting half-melted tupperware canisters, plumbing supplies and a charred oven mitt, all of which had been liberally sprinkled with a non-abrasive cleanser in what appears to have been a desperate attempt to mimic the half-remembered physical motions of food preparation. 'He was ranting, he was out of control. But then, after calming himself and regaining his grip on things, Svoboda seems to have had an incident of what we psychologists call 'The Ah-Ha! Experience,'' said noted therapist Glendon Dale, author of the bestseller The Ah-Ha! Experience: Discovering Potential In Our Environment And Ourselves, who is included in this story solely due to the tireless efforts of his publicist, Rachel Lowenberg, and who otherwise has nothing to do with this story. 'By visualizing his new dilemma, in this case cooking, within a context where he felt skill-confident, in this case the garage, he was able to extrapolate a solution which applied his unique skills to the problem.' After moving several shelves of canned goods to his garage workbench area, Svoboda attempted to break open a can of lentil soup using a pair of needle-nose pliers and a blowtorch. Though using the blowtorch proved unsuccessful, Svoboda did finally succeed in smashing a hole in the can after beating it with a wrench. By sucking soup from punctured cans, as well as through supplemental food sources in the form of some non-toxic glue he found, Svoboda was able to make it through his ordeal intact and survive to tell the tale. When discovered in a jabbering, slack-jawed heap after 72 hours, Svoboda was taken to the hospital and has been improving steadily. He appears to be unhurt. 'Jerry is an inspiration to all of us,' said Gern Yuerm, also of Plovis. 'Not only did he feed himself, but he also taught us all a little something about the limitations we place on people due to gender. The moral is obvious: Never let the wife take the car out of state.' 
3	3 Arrested With Weapons In NY Holland Tunnel - Terrorism, Ex NihiloBy Brandon Turbeville If you were to pay attention to the mainstream press (which, by now you really shouldnt be doing) you would believe that ISIS has triggered another one of its many sleeper cells and was only narrowly stopped before committing a massive terror attack in the New York-New Jersey Holland tunnel. The reality? Three people were driving through the area with weapons in their vehicle, drugs, and a cracked windshield. Consider the report by Phillip Messing of the New York Post who reported the story without the hype of many other news agencies. He writes, Three people were busted Tuesday with a cache of firearms, ammunition and body armor at the Holland Tunnel, law enforcement sources said. After spotting a gun, cops searched the vehicle and uncovered loaded weapons, about 2,000 rounds of ammo and ballistic vests, sources said. NBC News said the three people were two men in their 50s and a 20-something woman. Their weapons cache also included a camouflage helmet and night goggles, NBC reported. RT furthers the report by stating: The Joint Terrorism Task Force is assisting in the investigation, a source told NBC4. However, law enforcement officials told the network that the three suspects are gun enthusiasts, and that there is no terror threat. Investigators are looking into whether the suspects were planning to shoot a rival drug dealer, the source said. But while Messing of the New York Post notably avoided the hype of other reports, the real question is why is this story even being reported to begin with? At this point, we have a relatively routine situation that is not cause for alarm. Three adults traveling in a truck together with firearms (which they have a right to own and travel with), body armor (which is legal in some contexts but many, including this writer, would argue should not be solely reserved for special people in uniform), and drugs (which many, including this writer again, argue should never be a cause for arrest to begin with). Why were they pulled over and searched? They had a cracked windshield. Are you frightened yet? They had a cracked windshield! Move over ISIS! These people were armed, possessed arbitrarily banned substances, and (gasp!) had a cracked windshield! So why the hype in the media? After all, this case is scarcely cause for concern and panic; unless, of course, you are concerned and panicking for your right to own guns, make personal choices for yourself, and travel. The reason why the mainstream press is leaping on a story such as this is because an all-out war has been declared on the Second Amendment in the United States. An all-out war has been declared on the minds of the American public as well. The media is not worried that most who read the story will realize that they should have been doing something else with their time because most people simply wont read the story to begin with. They will see the headline Three Armed Suspects Found Arrested In NY Holland Tunnel and immediately transpose the headline with something like ISIS tried to blow up the Holland Tunnel and ISIS had easy access to guns. For those a little more interested in the affairs of the world the right will translate the report to mean Muslims and the left will translate it to mean racists. At this point, successful indoctrination has been achieved and the public need only be prodded with the right headline to move them in the desired direction in which the oligarchs wish to see them go. A little fear goes a long way with a population terrorized by its own government and media in overdrive since 9/11 and a generation of Americans now growing up knowing nothing else but constant fear, terrorism, and radicalization. And there we have it. When there is no domestic terror to capitalize on (there almost never has been), the FBI, CIA, and the shadow government will create it as in 9/11, New York, Oklahoma City, Orlando, Boston, Portland, and so many others. When the intelligence apparatus is lagging behind on the physical terror assembly line, however, the media will simply step in to make something out of nothing and reinforce the indoctrination Americans have been receiving at an ever-increasing rate ever since 9/11. Terrorism, ex nihilo.

This article may be freely shared in part or in full with author attribution and source link. very true,good writing. the world is sick and tired of this AMERICAN BULLSHIT, all terrorist sabotage operations are implemented by CIA-MOSSAD, and nobody else. Sounds alot like my vehicle cracked wind shield and all. I wish I had body armor. ISIS wouldnt have cracked windshields in those Toyota pickups we bought them. Ugh. I am so sick of the word terrified. As if we are frightened sheep bleating to get back into the sheepfold. This is over-the-top stupidity. Yall go be scared, I dont have time for fear. I have things to do. Someone will come tuck you in later. The Port Authority cops should have called one of those on-site windshield repair companies, and after it was fixed, let them continue on their mission, wishing them good luck and god speed. Where I live they would be called hunters. 
2	If You Thought It Couldnt Get Any Worse For Hillary Clinton... THINK AGAIN Last year, Hillary Clinton proudly became the first woman to ever score the presidential nomination of a major political party. And while we are all for breaking glass ceilings, Clinton is hardly a role modeland it turns out she didnt even legitimately win. Now, Breitbart has just outlined six major reasons why Clintons nomination was questionable. Here they are: 1. The Democrats rigged primary: Democrats should begin by accepting the obvious truth of a rigged primary revealed by WikiLeaks. The partys key leaders not the partys voters picked and promoted Hillary Clinton, meaning she was secretly coronated before the primary ever began. Her rival Bernie Sanders never had a chance. The nomination contest was theater designed to make Sanders voters accept Clinton. His voters ought to be furious at Sanders for playing along with this farce, which he most certainly did. When Party elders shriek about nefarious Russian interference in the election process, theyre trying to distract from what the leaked DNC emails actually said, and the fact that we now know those emails are 100 percent genuine, despite early Democrat statements to the contrary. One of those shrieking claims came from Donna Brazile, who was directly involved in doctoring a primary debate by leaking questions to Clinton, not to Sanders. 2. The Democrat superdelegate system: Then theres the openly rigged element of the Democratic primary, the superdelegate system. It is a political instrument specifically designed to shut down insurgencies and make the interests of Democrat voters secondary to the judgment of party elites, and the powerful lobbyists who manipulate them. Hillary Clinton was chosen by special-interest donors who had already spent a fortune currying favor with her, as demonstrated by the instantaneous collapse of the Clinton charities, the instant the Clintons had no more favors to sell. 3. The Democrat money machine: Building a titanic campaign war chest was the paramount concern of the Democrats in 2016, because they thought it and their media allies would give them an unbreakable headlock over the public debate. So Joe Biden was told he could not afford to get into the race. Same for Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley, who barely raised enough cash to pay for a Philly cheese sandwich. Their financial kneecapping allowed Clinton to suck up hundreds of millions in campaign cash, sometimes in legally questionable ways, even as she railed against the influence of money in politics. 4. The media was part of Clintons campaign: Its fun to watch Democrats wail about Russian spies using WikiLeaks to influence the election, when its clear the mainstream media was able to downplay the actual contents of those emails enough to keep most voters in the dark. Sure, outfits like Breitbart News did everything we could to report those revelations, but thats nothing compared to the influence wielded by the establishment media when it gets a narrative avalanche rolling. Of course the establishment media was an active participant in the rigged primary scandal. Those leaked emails from the DNC and Clinton campaign chief John Podesta reflected very, very poorly on the press. Thats something Democrats could fix theres no reason for illegitimate behind-the-scenes coordination between their candidates and the media. Democrat voters also should demand an end to the incestuous relationship between the media and Democratic politics because it has become as much a liability. Sure, its helpful to have the media in your hip pocket, but the value of that advantage is severely degraded when the public knows about it, and has lost faith in the establishment press as a result. Worse, the media enabled a weak, out-of-touch candidates like Clinton to capture the Party nomination. 5. The law was bent and broken to keep Clinton in the game: Democrat voters also should be questioning the legitimacy of Clintons nomination because the rule of law was corrupted to preserve her political viability. Her candidacy should have ended when the email server story broke. (Really, it should have ended with the publication of Clinton Cash, but the Democrats incorrectly believed their controlled media could insulate her from the fallout of those astounding revelations.) The politicized Obama Justice Department did Democrats no favors by staving off indictments that would have taken Clinton out of the game, or by slow-walking the email investigation until her replacement became prohibitively difficult. The Obama administration perfected tactics for dragging scandal investigations out until they became old news, but they miscalculated and prolonged Clintons email scandal until it blew up like a string of demolition charges throughout the 2016 election. Before they began howling about Russian espionage, Democrats were pushing the narrative that FBI Director James Comey sabotaged Clintons election hopes by speaking at length about her extremely careless actions when he announced no charges would be recommended, and then kneecapped her again by reviving the Clinton investigation briefly during the last days of the presidential campaign. As with their narrative about WikiLeaks, Democrats are complaining that Clinton was sabotaged because people revealed the truth about her. Theyre saying their presidential candidate could only win if damaging facts were concealed, false media narratives were perpetuated, and special exemptions from the law were granted to her. That sounds like the very definition of an illegitimate candidacy. 6. Democrats try to hack the electorate: We might also challenge the legitimacy of a political strategy that relies so heavily upon using immigration to hack the demographics of the American electorate. Before Clintons defeat shocked them into silence, liberal analysts were beginning to churn out a fresh wave of Emerging Democratic Majority pieces about how native-born GOP voters would never win a national election again. One of the reasons Democrats subjected the Electoral College to one of their post-election tantrums is that the EC makes it harder for them to hack the presidential vote with mass immigration. Thats the true significance of the observation that Clintons popular-vote victory came entirely from California. Before the 2016 election went down, it was commonly observed that Republicans might have won the previous two presidential contests if they were still running with Ronald Reagans electorate; this observation was used to mock Trump as foolish for pursuing an obsolete electoral strategy that could never work in the new, demographically-upgraded America. That observation also lies behind the Democrats decision to downplay the economic concerns of struggling Americans, and to largely ignore the distastefully un-diverse electorates of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania in favor of outreach to immigrants, racial subgroups, gays, professionals, unmarried women, and other element of the hoped-for Emerging Democratic Majority. If Democrats didnt believe they had a reserve army of immigrant voters for Clinton, they might have nominated Biden or Sanders to instead win ordinary Americans to their side. Amusingly, if those immigrants didnt exist, American voters incomes would be higher and fewer would have been angry enough to shift their votes to the GOPs candidate. 
3	Pharma Flakes Cereal: Genetically Engineered Delicious!Unlabeled GMO is bad enough; pharmaceuticals grown into the food of an already drugged population is downright horrifying. Philanthropic causes self-appointed to look after the global good, including the Rockefeller Foundation and Bill Melinda Gates Foundation, began funding the development of edible vaccines as far back as 1996. Ostensibly, this is to allow the poor and developing sectors of the world easy access to medicine in their food supply. A quick (and profitable) fix to save the planet! In the real world, this is a dark twist on the old adage Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food. Private vaccine developers have worked aggressively to develop these genetically-engineered pharmaceuticals and put them on the shelf, hoping they will be part of a multi-billion dollar drug market. Government grants and agency support contributed towards their rapid creation in the first decade of the 20th Century, licensing corn fields and other test crop sites throughout the U.S. Midwest and beyond with pharmaceutical crops being grown in at least 11 states. Would you trust food aid if you knew the United States foreign policy declared food as a weapon back in 1974 in the unspoken war of controlling population in your country or one near you? Would you believe in the bold claims that genetically-engineered enriched foods can deliver necessary nutrition and medicinal treatments, knowing the complications and risks of GMO foods that have already been documented? Would you eat Pharma Flakes if they were marketed and sold to your family, and made a part of your complete breakfast? And what if your cereals and other food stocks werent even labeled? Would you really know what was in your food? Andwould you do anything about it if you found out the truth? Would you have eyes to see it for what it was, if it were population control?

1	Cursing silently to himself upon realizing that the cashier in his lane was engaging in conversation with every patron, local Trader Joes shopper Dan Wetzel confirmed Tuesday that it was now too late for him to switch to another line manned by a less outgoing employee. Oh, no, said Wetzel, who reportedly looked around in momentary panic after overhearing the clerk cheerily ask a pair of customers about their recent weekend activities, only to find that several people had filed into line behind him and that the window to slide over to an adjacent lane had long since closed. Ugh, goddammit. At press time, Wetzel had forced a half-smile to his face and braced himself as the store employee began making chipper inquiries about the meal Wetzel was planning to make with the items he was offloading from his basket to the counter. 
2	You Wont Believe Who Was Put In Charge Of Hillary Investigation... This Is Complete Bullsh*t Hillary Clinton was shocked on Friday when the FBI reopened their investigation into her use of a personal email server as Secretary of State. We cant imagine her frustration when she learned that the FBI made the decision due to pertinent emails found on the server of Anthony Weiner, the disgraced husband of her top aide Huma Abedin. The FBI successfully obtained a warrant to look into the 650,000 emails on Weiners server, but that is not stopping the White House from doing everything in their power to protect Clinton. According to reports from Zero Hedge, Obamas Justice Department has announced that it will be dedicating all their resources to reviewing these emails as quickly as possible. Assistant attorney General Peter J. Kadzik wrote a letter to Congress stating that the DOJ will continue to work closely with the FBI and together, dedicate all necessary resources and take appropriate steps as expeditiously as possible. Just the Facts (@JTF_News) October 31, 2016 In a disturbing twist, it has just been revealed that Kadzik had dinner with John Podesta just one day after Clintons Benghazi hearing. Zero Hedge reports that the day after Clinton testified, John Podesta, Hillarys campaign chairman, met for dinner with a small group of well-connected friends, including Peter Kadzik, who is currently a top official at the US Justice Department serving as Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs. An email reveals that Podesta and Kadzik also met several months later for dinner at Podesta home. As if that werent enough, Kadziks son actually asked Podesta for a job on the Clinton campaign. What do you think? Are you tired of this deep-rooted corruption in the White House? 
3	2016 Election Turnout: Nearly Half of Eligible Voters Effectively Voted For No PresidentBy Ryan Banister When compared with the 2008 and 2012 elections, we see almost 9 million less people voting in 2016: You tell me what happened Domenico Montanaro (@DomenicoNPR) November 9, 2016 If you count minors and mentally handicapped people, a majority of people in this country effectively voted for no president. If there were anything remotely democratic about this system, we should not see any president elected at all. Of course, this begs the question, what could possibly grant a person the so-called right to rule others? Can a majority create the right to rule others? Or is it that the right to rule is something that is reserved for a certain class of people, such as the political ruling class that exists here in the US? Contributed by Ryan Banister of The Daily Sheeple. About nine million people have started to wake up. And keep in mind that those that did vote were BARELY accommodated because of reduced polling places, ledger mistakes, broken machines extra long lines as some states did away with early voting. The Clinton numbers were inflated by illegals, repeaters and the dead. It is COMPLETELY unbelievable that that Hillary got the majority of votes when apparently hardly anyone came to her rallys, and it was public knowledge she was a racketeer/mobster, and worse. The stories about her are so many, and grievous which in her case gives credibility to their insanity. Obviously phony doubles, how insane is that? How much deception is ok? America needs a new system of selecting from MORE than 2 main party candidates and counting votes from Federal State taxpayers only, not state majorities. Paper verification must be required and proven. Taxes must also be completely overhauled and simplified, there is no good reason for them to be so complicated. Corporations must pay their full share, unless they start paying their gangster leaders much, much less. Bribing politicians must be outlawed by penalty of instant dismissal from office. Politicians must also be immediately dismissed for failure to VIGOROUSLY uphold their oath of office which includes the responsibility to uphold the Constitution Bill of Rights. The public servants are elected to serve the public, not the other way around, unless they get a big enough bribe, like Hillary did with her foundation! And that is why she needed a private email system. To try to keep her bribery a secret. Now rescale the governments mandate to reflect the actual approval levels. Its only fair 
1	Verona High School ninth-grade science teacher Mark Randalls has a unique talent for taking the fun and magic out of science, students of his comprehensive survey class reported Tuesday. Randalls awaits the beginning of fourth period, during which students will read silently at their desks. 'I have a lot of information I'm required to impart to these children before they complete this grade and move on to dedicated physics, biology, or chemistry,' Randalls said. 'If I tried to illustrate each and every aspect of science with an experiment or anecdote, we would never complete the necessary coursework by year's end.' A 25-year veteran instructor in Verona, Randalls teaches his students the periodic table using a standard wall-sized chart, the appropriate page in the same Houghton-Mifflin science textbook he's used since 1982, and a few minor experiments he runs by himself to save time. 'As you can see from the math I assigned you last night, the element sodium combines with water in an exothermic reaction, which means it gives off heat and, in some cases, light,' Randalls said, doing the work at a safe distance from his fifth-period students. 'Now, I'm using just a small grain of sodium, so there isn't the large flash you might get, not that you could see it in this stainless-steel bowl. But you can see the temperature go up on our thermometer here.' Randalls then asked the student with the highest grade on the last weekly quiz, Mike Lendberg, to come up and read the temperature change off the unwieldy dial thermometer. 'Mr. Randalls says science is a way of understanding how the universe works,' said Lendberg. 'At least he said that on the first day. I've kind of tuned him out since then.' 'I wonder if two-tenths of a degree is a lot,' Lendberg added. 'Well. Probably not.' For his part, Randalls said he believes a firm grounding in the basics is the most important education he can give his class, and that he constantly battles distraction in school. 'The other day, Amy Bethke asked me how sodium can be part of salt if it is poisonous,' Randalls said, shaking his head. 'I had to waste two minutes explaining how it has a stable bond with the element chlorine. Then, when I tried to go on, she realized chlorine was also poisonous, and said, 'Isn't that weird that two deadly elements combine to make harmless table salt?' I finally had to send her to the office to make copies just to get her to stop interrupting the class.' Added Randalls: 'These kids are getting worse every year. It's a wonder I get any teaching done at all.' Other points left out of Randall's discussion of the periodic table include a discussion of how simple flammable hydrogen makes up more than 90 percent of the universe, a demonstration of sound waves propagating strangely in helium, and an explanation of carbon's role in the creation of both coal and diamonds, as well as its use as a building block for life. Nearly all of Randalls' students, or at least those who have chosen not to frequently skip class, have expressed dissatisfaction with his approach to science. 'I was really looking forward to last month's electricity unit,' said freshman Don Linzmann, whose prior exposure to Bill Nye and Cosmos reruns got him interested in physics. 'I'd heard about these cool things called Van de Graaff generators, which make your hair stand up when you touch them, and this thing called a Jacob's Ladder that makes a really huge arc of electricity. But all we did was spend a week calculating amperage.' After another week spent on the periodic table, Randalls will begin teaching a unit on anatomy. 'I just hope these kids sit still for the frog dissection in two weeks,' Randalls said. 'I went to great lengths to procure a five-part filmstrip series that illustrates the frog anatomy step-by-step so we won't have to create a lot of mess dissecting the animals ourselves. Besides, the class always gets way too rambunctious when we try to do a lab.' 
3	Is Money the Root of All Evil or Just the Evil Banksters Who Manipulate It?By Catherine J. Frompovich Their money games are trickier than any sleight of hand or magic rabbit-out-of-a-hat trick regarding fiat money they force-feed upon everyone, except those at the top of an elite pyramid theyve created for themselves at the expense of everyone whom they consider below their supposed elite status. In this writers opinion, heres a perfect example of how many of the elites operate to keep their rigged system not only goingbut thrivingand in control, thereby leaving no one to stand up to them, that is, except little Iceland. Where was Cypruss political resolve and starch; how about Greece? Are elite moneymen/women (Christine LaGarde [8]) trying now to break Great Britain because of Brexit? Every country should be taking a page out of Icelands play book on dealing with banksters: Iceland Sentences 24 Corrupt Bankers to 76 Years in Prison Instead of doom and gloom, the flip side of Icelands drastic action everyone thought would destroy the country is that Iceland rises from the ashes of banking collapse and is thriving! However, one politicianname unknown, but sounds British from his accentis on video appearing to have had enough of banksterisms and spews his venom regarding central banks and their money schemes, which everyone really needs to hear, I think, as he calls the proverbial spade a spade! However, the article Bankers Make a Mockery of the Law, and No One Goes to Jail exemplifies just what hes venting about. Sound familiar? Perhaps thats why Hillary Clinton didnt go to jail; shes probably too chummy with Wall Street bankers and knows the ropes of the game played in committing money and political indiscretions that doom other unfortunates to pay for them, literally or figuratively, while the real big-time politicians and criminals get off scot-free, a la FBI Director James Comey [7]. However, according to CNN Politics, The GOP conventions unofficial slogan: Lock her up [1] became a mantra of sorts. Wouldnt that be a hoot if it REALLY could happenas that would show the elite controllers that the USA has a part of the male anatomy to do what Iceland did even to a presidential wannabee! Now that really would be change! However, Bernie Sanders tried opening the banking can of worms but didnt get too far with his Major Speech that has Bankers and Hillary Panicking. What difference does his speech make now that hes endorsed Hillary for president? Furthermore, shouldnt we ask whats going on with the Clinton Foundation? [5,6] In this review of 2016 presidential candidates on Wall Street and banking policy we learned of the former wannabe candidates proposals for dealing with the current obviously insurmountable fiscal problems smothering the USA. Perhaps maybe (?) Donald J Trump has one of the better, if not the best, approaches offered, as he However, The Donald needs to be cautious, as others who have tried exposing the money games that go on in high places arent dealt with very nicely. Did JFKs Presidential Executive Order 11,110 get him in trouble, as it would have given the Treasury Department the explicit authority: to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury. [2] $10 and $20 United States Notes were never circulated but were being printed by the Treasury Department when Kennedy was assassinated. It appears obvious that President Kennedy knew the Federal Reserve Notes being used as the purported legal currency were contrary to the Constitution of the United States of America. [2] That certainly would have curtailed the scheme of creating money out of nothing by issuing consumer loans that made banksters probably richer than ever before and too big to fail, but has created more debt than anyone probably can afford to pay back (student loans?), plus a free-for-all spending attitude within the White House. Will we ever be able to pay off the national debt, which is over $19.3 Trillion? [3] When one studies the U.S. Debt Clock, reality ought to set in that the USA definitely needs leadership that will not put us further down the financial rabbit hole, but institute programs that will make everyone pull their weight and implement what JFK said, Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. Working at a full-time, paying job could be a good first step! Isnt it time for everyone to step up and do his/her part, especially the banksters who should stop being robber barons [4] or be stopped forcefully, like Iceland stopped their economic siphons?

Are you the minority opinion of the Association of Deteriorating Intellectuals? Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. Ephesians 4:29 A New Years resolution Bodey? Quite a 180 degree turn for you, dont you think. Thats rich coming from the cult member who is has been stalking another in violation of the Discus Code of Conduct and who berates anyone who dares calls you out or challenges your false perception of the truth. Violated it already and I such high hopes for you. I dont really care what your hopes are. Your history is easily researched and available for all to see. My conclusion of you is valid given the facts: 1) You are an ardent Mormon and as such do not ahere to Biblical teaching. 2) You are arrogant and insulting of anyone who dares to challenge you. 3) You are and have even admitted stalking KA to multiple sites. 4) #3 is in violation of the Disqus rules of conduct. 5) You routinely engage is attacking other posters rather than engaging in civil discourse. You are just trying to build my ego. Appreciated but not necessary. I can see even a logical demonstration of your sins is lost on you as you are convinced you are on the correct path. As with an individual deep in the clutches of an addiction, you are reveling in your sin. Two Proverbs suit you well: It is as sport to a fool to do mischief Proverbs 10:23 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, Finally, you are prefacing your Bible passages. Now if I can only get you to stop using passages that easily apply to you. Considering you dont use them at all, and fail to apply any critical passages to a self examination of your behavior. FYI: Any examination I apply to myself will not be at your encouragement. I have advisors (most importantly the Holy Spirit) to guide me. I dont need or want your counsel. Really? Is that you or your advisor that causes you say hateful things that wound poor Grundune? Again, no really concerned with whether you are wounded or not. I am interested in exposing your deceit. For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucres sake. Titus 1:10-11 So you dont care. I suspected as much. Apathy always claims its own. As for deceit, you keep talking about it, but produce nothing. I can only assume that you still looking but coming up empty. Using your disarray of thought processes as the measuring device, I can only say, within your idiosyncratic mode of thought, I would have to agree. Could I ask you to translate that into something us simple honest folk can comprehend? so you represent the simple honest folk ? Grundune represents himself, sir. The most honest and simple of all. Any reports to the contrary can be discounted with wicked vigor. In other words, in your arrogance you now disavow any of the falsehoods of your once Mormon faith. You are now little more than a secular humanist and no better. Still fishing? Any bites? Or is your raging curiosity slowing consuming you. Sorry to restrict you to the issues, all the while you are panting to debate your prejudices. You are like a little child who hasnt gotten his way and continues to ask the same inane question. But as I tell my children, Asked and answered. The question was rhetorical, B. May I call you B? It was asked to point out your persistent fishing, not for an answer. Thats the point of a rhetorical, nicht wahr? Thank you for the wicked vigor response. LMFAO! I think I love your argument!! Kingdom Ambassador is a failed internet preacher dedicating his life to abolishing the U.S. Constitution, not preaching the doctrines of Jesus Christ. Considering your condescending comments toward KA and anyone who dares call you out the following verse is appropriate. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which Oh now I get it, you were applying that passage to ME and all the time I thought that it applied perfectly to you. How embarrassing. Why is he a failed Internet preacher? What criteria are you using for a failed preacher vs a successful one? Paid advertisers? Lots of fancy banner graphics? What? And how do you know what doctrines of Jesus Christ are not being preached unless you know all them yourself? Do you? In Grundunes mind, KA is a failed preacher because he refuses to acknowlege the foolishness of the false prophets of Mormonism. It is as simple and foolish as that. To demonstrate your truthfulness, provide the citation for the charge in your first paragraph. A simple quote from one of Grundunes brilliant pontifications will suffice. Failing in that, a truthful man would admit the error and apologize. The proverbial ball is in your court. Applying a test which you have repeatedly refused to answer is disingenuous at best and most certainly sinful. So youve got nothing. It is better not to accuse someone else of your own sin. (Unless you can prove it.) Do you stand indicted? One last chance to admit your overzealousness which caused you to (ahem) prevaricate (just a little). Are you a Mormon, Grundune? Why do you ask? Because Brodey accused you of being Mormon and it seems you vilified him for that, and if it is not true, then Brodey bears false witness against you, thus letting me know what I am dealing with as I read his comments. But if it is true, then I know what I am dealing with as I comment to you. So is the accusation Brodey makes about you true or not? The moderators are limiting the posting of direct links. Here are quotes from Grundune. I also know that Joseph Smith has not been allowed to teach or publish false doctrine. In my opinion, the doctrine of original sin is false. We are BTW, I came across another correction by modern day prophets in Sunday school today, this one is in 1 Samuel 18:10. Instead of reading, that evil spirit from God came upon Saul,, it should read, that evil spirit which was not of God came upon Saul. I realize you cant believe this because of your holding to the errant nature of the bible and the no more prophets rule, but I just thought Id let you know. My faith in Heavenly Father, His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost is built upon the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the teachings of the Lords prophets and confirmation of the truth when I read or hear it, by the Holy Ghost. Zionica Miss USA contestant: I am a child of rape So my question to you is why are you so gung-ho to run Grundune down into the muck? Clearly the two of you have been at each others throats for at least 2 years. What gives? Are you trustworthy, Brodey? Does the Holy Spirit indwell you? I agree with Grundune, BTW, on the topic of no original sin. That is junk doctrine from Jesuits and Catholic heathen rhetoric. Each has free moral agency. To say we are totally at whim and will of original sin is to call God a liar. I am averse to calling God a liar. He takes a really dim view of such things. I am sorry that you have been so misinformed as to believe that we must be committing sins to be considered sinners. Sin is in the blood. We are all born with Adams blood. Please site Biblical references in which God says we are anything other than sinners. I can gladly post otherwise. Im not misinformed and I could care less what you are sorry for. Your statements are idiotic. There is this thing in reasoning called IDENTITY. So when I say that a SINNER SINS, that is what they do. Figure it out. It defines itself. Learn some language. Sin is in the blood. We are all born with Adams blood. Please site Biblical references in which God says we are anything other than sinners. I can gladly post otherwise. Silly girl, fighting all the wrong battles Whether I am trustworthy or not is fairly immaterial. I have quoted directly from Grundunes own writings. Many of my posts also contain Biblical references. Grundunes own writings demonstrate him to be arrogant. Gods Word demonstrates how much he hates the proud. Grundunes own writings demonstrate that he is member of a belief system which is contrary to the teachings of the Bible. Yet, he passes himself off as being Christian, and he (in your words) vilifies anyone who challenges him to think beyond his own false beliefs. If you will not trust what has been presented to you will cited references, what do you believe? Whether I am trustworthy or not is fairly immaterial. I have quoted directly from Grundunes own writings. Many of my posts also contain Biblical references. Grundunes own writings demonstrate him to be arrogant. Gods Word demonstrates how much he hates the proud. Problem is you have zero cred with me so that statement means squat. How do I know you are not cherry picking Grundunes writing to color or skew my perception against him? Your writing demonstrate your arrogance, also. I have no judged you for that, why do you judge Grundune? Speck meet splinter. Yet, he passes himself off as being Christian, and he (in your words) vilifies anyone who challenges him to think beyond his own false beliefs. Up to this point in this thread, I have not noticed Grundune proclaiming Christianity, nor proclaiming Mormonism. Let him speak for himself. I do not trust you. Dont pretend like I should just automatically take your word for it on anything. As far as I know, you are just the devils bro wearing a fancy hat. The fool says in his heart, There is no God. Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. For as by the one mans disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one mans obedience the many will be made righteous. Romans 5:18 So is the psalmist or Paul also liars? So is the psalmist or Paul also liars? As I told B, I am not representing myself as a spokesman of any faith, ideology or religion. I have no authority to do so. Anyone who attempts to be an apologist for Mormonism is in for a frustrating go. Heres the sequence that always transpires. As soon as someone lets on that he or she is a Mormon, the better informed on religion folk come out of the woodwork with you believe this or you believe that. What they heard from somebody or read in the newspapers or heard on CNN is usually a mixture of something that sounds controversial sprinkled with something that sounds too ridiculous for anyone to believe and they have wondered why anyone could believe such nonsense let alone 15 million people worldwide. So the apologist tries to explain the actual belief, but gets told hes wrong or the better informed folk immediately switch to another juicy tidbit theyve heard or read. And why not. Would you accept something is true just from some bloke whos writing on the internet? Anyone sincerely interested in the truth would first search out Mormon sources to find out what is really taught and even attend a meeting to get first hand information. Most folk on the internet are first believers, they believe what they hear first and fiercely cling to it. So the Mormon apologist who wants people to know the rest of the story is thwarted, becomes discouraged and realizes that Satan is a lot better at PR than he could ever be. Grundune is playing the better informed folk and is challenging the most important element of any religion, do you really know what you are worshipping?. He has found that Catholics and sectarian Protestant denominations dont and worse dont even want to think about it. They hold to creeds invented by men centuries after the death of Christ that are so twisted and self contradictory that no one can explain it. Grundune is declaring that the Emperor has no clothes on, trying to embarrass folk into looking at what they actually believe, some for the first time. Grundune is arguing and defending his own arguments. Oh? So Grundune is a Mormon? Interesting. Internet preachers are rated by the up ticks they receive. Poor Ted has the same 5 or 6 bobble heads up ticking him. Occasionally someone likes his canned segues into his anti-Constitution rants and gives him an up tick but overall an extremely poor showing indeed. Weiland doesnt preach any of Christs doctrines. He uses a couple as props for his screeds, but he never expounds or encourages people to follow Christ or keep His commandments. Instead, Weiland wants us to follow him in abolishing the U.S. Constitution. Find that in the Bible. Using a tool of humanity to judge, the scriptures this behavior violates is innumerable; but here are a couple: But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. 1 Samuel 16:6 I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. Jeremiah 17:9 Preach only of Christ and Him crucified. Oh! Oh, yeah! That would be nice to see Hitlary, Barry and all there crooked handlers on Devils Island. I think Dr. Willie was saying our actual debt is$1,200,000,000,000. Countries have been unloading there petro dollars a a rate of a trillion a month since last fall. Its actually the LOVE of money and yes, it IS the root of all SORTS of evil. more simply the love of power and acquisition of resources which itself is power..which is why the psychopath elite are hellbent on eliminating money as they capture all the worlds resources and use technology to enforce a strict rationing system ultimately based on an energy credit accounting system (their new false construct). This is important to grasp because the left wing controlled opposition is decrying capitalism (not distinguishing decentralized free markets from crony fascism) and chanting its time for a new system to get rid of money. Its social engineering, a mega trap. Mark Twain supposedly said : The lack of money is the root of all evil. Simonides about wise men and rich men, in answer to Hieros Wife, who asked him whether it was better to grow rich or wise : Why, rich, he said, for I see the wise men spending their days at the rich mens doors. On occasion Twain hit the nail on the head, this was one where he fattened his thumb instead. Then you think these people have too much money ? No, of course they dont have too much money, but youre exercising a straw man argument. Money, or the lack thereof, is not the causation of evil. If you agree with Twain, you are, by default, implying that all the people in that picture are evil. There are possibly good people in that picture and possibly evil people as well. There are certainly people (the young child) who do not even have a fully developed morality yet This is why those who say that money is the root of all evil are wrong. There are wealthy people who are basically good people, and there are wealthy people who are the personification of evil. Just as there are poor/good people and poor/evil people. It is a persons love of money, not the money itself, which reveals the character of that person. To love money is to place a value on it which may cause one to commit evil to obtain it. Give a good person a lot of money and that person will probably only use that money in a benevolent manner. Give an evil person more money and that person will use it to serve their own interests above the good of the many. But this comment page isnt a philosophy forum and Ive alredy bored myself. Money is a tool. The real evil is legal tender laws. We are forced by law and the threat of prison to accept Federal Reserve Notes at face value. Nobody should be forced to except anything as payment unless both parties agree on its value. Regarding the debt. Theres now a very concerted effort by TPTB to create massive inflation (debasement) which will effectively make the relative value of the debt seem small. Still painful and this looks to be a set up for an inflationary depression and rationing to unfold in the run up to the 2030 Agenda roll out. Hints are: Hillarys offer of free college tuition; proposals to allow the discharge of student debt; global floating of the idea of debt jubilees (including The Pope); substantial increase in minimum wages; the White House and Larry Summers in a Washington Post column two weeks ago calling for increases in entitlement payouts (e.g. raises for Social Security recipients); and zero and negative interest rate policies (ZIRP and NIRP). Mega bankster pointman Summers, who spearheaded the dismantling of the Glass Steagall Act, wants to enact several new policies to drive up inflation including restricting supply of goods. Transitioning the dollar away from reserve status (petro dollar) will only accelerate the inflationary process (the reason for the BS Saudi 28 page narrative that looks like it might fizzle out). First we had QE, the next phase would be helicopter money directed at the struggling working and middle classes as a bribe to go along with new reforms and also to keep the casino afloat until the next paradigm is well underway. Note on EO 11110, its apparently a persistent misconception that this action represented JFK intending to stick it to the banksters via silver certificates. According to G. Edward Griffin, the EO was an executive housekeeping move to transfer authority to the Secretary of the Treasury to discharge the obsolete certificates. Researcher James Corbett also tackled this issue and concurred with Griffin. No, not that money is the root of all evil or the manipulation thereof, but the desire for it. That is our problem Yes, our love of money similar to eating yummy food or getting addicted to substances our genome says we will be addicted to. Humans love POWER. Wish we would covet intelligence and education and experience more than money. Money is an easier routeothers believe. Little do they know the truth. I Timothy 6.10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. The only time Jesus got angry was when he threw the money changers from the temple. Theres a Reason for this He KNEW of the twisting of mens souls that money creates. Any REAL civilization does away with this thing called money. What we have here on Earth does not even reach the first syllable of the word civilization. There are Numerous accounts of exactly this very thing, compiled by Col. Wendell Stevens. check out this site /www dot galactic-server dot net/ linkmap dot html The unholy zentral banks the world over need to be collapsed. Then there will be a thousand years of peace and prosperity. The 7 (shmita) years of pump and dump is a failed policy. QE will be their own downfall. Its the lust after $$$$. $$ is just a tool. If we had seven year debt release, there werent be any thirty year mortgages, now would there. Brilliant thinking Wacky Weiland, nobody could afford a house. Joey Smiff was a false teacher for real for real. A quote by Sir Josiah Stamp, president of the Bank of England, in the 1920s, the second richest man in Britain: Banking was conceived in iniquity and born in sin. The Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with a flick of a pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them (completely), and all the fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for this world would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain slaves of the Bankers and pay for the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits. Any REAL civilization does away with this thing called money.

2	Detailed Report Of Notable People Who Have Died In Close Association With The Clintons If you knew that somebody was surrounded by friends who died mysterious deaths, youd be hesitant to hang out with them, wouldnt you? So it goes to follow that youd probably be hesitant to elect them as President of the United States as well. If thats the case, then we need to keep Hillary Clinton far away from the White House. If you havent heard, here are a few of the most famous cases: #1: Mary Mahoney Mahoney was a former White House intern who served as an assistant manager at a local Starbucks in Georgetown. While the Clintons were in the middle of the Paula Jones lawsuit, a journalist named Mike Isikoff reported that a former White House staffer with the initial M was debating going public with her own story of sexual harassment at the hands of Bill Clinton. A few days later, Mahoney was shot in the coffee shop where she worked. Two other associates were also shot in another room. Silencers were used during the attack, and Mahoney took 5 bullets. The crime was reported as a robbery, but no money was found missing. #2: Vincent Foster Foster worked for the Rose Law Firm and was heavily involved in several investigations into the Clinton financial network. After making a call to Clinton that didnt go well, Foster was found dead in Ft. Marcy Park in Washington D.C. Authorities reported the death as a suicide, and a suicide note was found a few days later shredded into pieces. His office had been entered by White House staff. Questions remain in the case, given that the gun that killed him was reportedly found in his hand. Eye witness reports, however, say that there was no gun at the scene. There are also questions as to where Foster sustained wounds. He is believed to have had an unreported gunshot wound to the neck even the FBI reported only one gunshot wound to the head. #3: John F. Kennedy Jr. The third case is that of John F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy had just hinted that he would be running for a Senate seat, presumed to already belong to Hillary Clinton. A few days later, he, his wife, and sister-in-law died in a plane crash outside of Marthas Vineyard. What is more suspicious is that eye-witness reports say that the skies were clear. Conversely, major news networks reported hazardous conditions. The military even sanctioned off a 5-mile perimeter as a no-fly zone until the investigation was finalized. These stories are just three of nearly a hundred mysterious deaths connected with the Clintons. What do you think? Do they need to be kept far away from the White House? 
1	Saying he likes to think of himself as more than just a stuffy businessman in a suit, Wyatt Media Group CEO Barney Washburn, 57, informed reporters today that he is actually quite creative, too. According to Washburn, in addition to his numerous responsibilities managing the marketing companys sales strategies and overall organizational structure, he also happens to be someone who is equally capable of jumping into the more creative parts of the business, and is just as good as anyone else in the company at generating new ideas and thinking outside the box. Some of my employees probably think of me as just a guy who sits in a corner office and makes business deals, but I think many of them would be surprised to know I've actually had a good deal of creative experience in my career, said Washburn, adding that he has always prided himself on being able to understand more than just the dollars and cents stuff. Sure, I spend a good amount of my day tied up in all the number crunching, but believe me, I can brainstorm with the best of them. Ive got a lot of great, clever ideas. The fact is, you dont get to where I am without being at least somewhat creatively inclined, Washburn continued. It just doesnt happen. While agreeing that there may be some executives out there who are unable to wrap their minds around the more right-brained aspects of a business, Washburn told reporters that he is different because his sensibilities are very refined and even edgy, and that he thinks of himself as at heart, more of a writer and idea guy than a businessman. On the rare occasion that Im not swamped with running the company, Ill pop into a brainstorming session the creative teams got going on and spitball with the rest of the guys, Washburn said, noting that he just happens to be the kind of guy that would feel equally comfortable in an art gallery or musical jam session as he does in a boardroom. Every now and again, Ill even throw out a few suggested changes to their ideas before they present it to our clients. You know, just fixing problems where I see them. I think theyre usually pretty surprised that Im able to keep up with them, but Ive just always been that way, you know? Overall, Id say its a very collaborative process in the room, added Washburn. Were always adding to each others ideas to make sure were putting out the best product possible. The executive went on to say that even when hes sitting in his own office putting together a budget or analyzing competitor data, his wheels are always spinning as he thinks about different directions the company can move in creatively and how to accomplish their future goals. In fact, Washburn stated that if he was a little bit younger and just getting started in the business today he would maybe consider exclusively going the creative route himself. Really, when you think about it, most of what a manager at my level does every day is fairly creatively challenging, Washburn explained to reporters at length. Whether Im dealing with a budget and trying to allocate a limited amount of resources or trying to recognize the current market trends that our company needs to capitalize on, it always takes a good amount of my imagination to discover opportunities for growth. Business is a type of art, after all. And I consider myself an artist, in that sense. In terms of our company, I would say my creative input is more big-picture stuff, Washburn continued. I spend most of my time with clients, so I dont get a chance to see the teams actually put together the writing or visual elements. But Id say at that point all the hard conceptualizing is already behind us. Washburn also mentioned that whenever hes talking about the company outside of the office, he doesnt feel afraid to mention that he himself is very much involved in his companys creative process and will often offer suggestions to other business leaders on how to tap into their more innovative sides. People often ask me how our company comes up with such innovative and unique ideas for our clients, Washburn said. And I always say the same thing: Its just about using your imagination and finding new ideas. It really is just that simple. At press time, the executive was reportedly shooting off a litany of ideas to his creative staff for accomplishing their monthly goals while dealing with their drastically reduced 2013 budget. 
2	A Marine Buried This Box For 20 Years... Wife Finds It And Reveals THIS LifeA proud marine for over 25 years, earning 3 purple hearts and fighting in the Vietnam war, Major Donnie Dunageen was not one to show weakness. For over 2 decades, Dunageen kept a huge secret from his family, friends, and colleagues. Finally, his wife was able to dig up this secret he has kept close for so long. Major Donnie Dunageen was both the model and voice for Bambi. I never said a word to anybody about Bambi, the Marine said. If his circle of friends ever found out that he was Bambi, he would never live it down. If Disney does this to me, I can just see gunnery sergeants and captains writing home and saying, Dear Mom, guess who my [commanding officer] is? Dunageen told Military Times. Dunageen described his experience with the role: I spent months in front of the illustrators. Look left, look right, look afraid. When Bambi is kissed by a doe, he gives a look of disgust. We spent an hour on that look. Look like something bad has happened, theyd say. But I was having the time of my life. Finally someone said, Pretend like you just had castor oil. That did it. What a great man, and even greater twist to his life story. Please thank Major Donnie Dunageen for his service (and for the entertainment he provided to millions of children). Would you have kept this secret for so long?

2	BREAKING: Senate Delivers Terrible News To Trump The Senate Intelligence Committee dropped a bombshell this week when they announced they will be launching a bipartisan investigation into Russian intelligence activitiesincluding Trumps involvement in the alleged hacking. The probe will reportedly include, counterintelligence concerns related to Russia and the 2016 U.S. election, including any intelligence regarding links between Russia and individuals associated with political campaigns. Following the controversial announcement, committee chair Sen. Richard Burr and Sen. Mark Warner released a statement on the investigation. As part of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligences oversight responsibilities we believe that it is critical to have a full understanding of the scope of Russian intelligence activities impacting the United States, they stated. Burr also said the committee will conduct a bipartisan inquiry of the intelligence reporting behind a report on Russian interference. Hearings are set to be held and officials from both the Trump administration and Obama administration will be interviewed. What do you think of this announcement? 
3	Half a Billion Wasted Because the Army is Jealous of the Air ForceBy Claire Bernish An effort to combine the two military branches Predator drone programs had the potential to save the Pentagon around $400 million. But as the Inspector General announced in the 2010 report after a year of research costing $115 million, between 2008-2009 the Army and Air Force simply could not overcome their bitter rivalry enough to implement a joint purchasing program of the same drone. Robert Gates, Secretary of Defense in 2008, claimed that convincing the Air Force to deploy drones to give support in Iraq and Afghanistan was akin to pulling teeth. This turf war, as The Intercept called it, developed after the Army criticized the Air Force for its lackadaisical support of ground troops and the Air Force publicly called out the Armys ineptitude in operating drones even publicly calling the program a house of cardscharacterized by substantial shortfalls. IN-DEPTH: The Pentagon Doesnt Know What it Spent 8.5 Trillion Dollars on Under its program, the Army proceeded to purchase its own Predator drones, which conducted operations in fundamentally different ways than the other branch. Where Air Force drone pilots generally guided drones from locations as far removed from the actual field of battle as the U.S., Army pilots did the opposite and operated close to where military action was occurring. And though both branches used Predators, the Air Force drones were powered by jet fuel and the Armys by heavy fuel. So the Pentagon demanded the programs be integrated to save money, considering both involved the purchase of essentially the same drone from the same company, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems. Rather than work with its bitter rival, the Air Force simply stopped buying the Predator drone in favor of its larger cousin, the Reaper. While it seems there should have been some form of administrative backlash for going against the orders to combine efforts, as Sen. Chuck Grassley noted, the audit that had already taken almost two years to complete was made somewhat meaningless by a failure to enforce the recommendations. While the audit was in progress, DoD pulled the rug out from under the auditors, the senator said in a floor statement about the continued review of the audits in 2011. A new directive was issued, stating that the two programs did not have to be combined. Even further to the point, combining the two branches programs might have been a pie in the sky project from its inception, as former military analyst Chuck Spinney explained, [T]he claim that you could save money by combining them flies in the face of history. Each branch of service needs myriad modifications to the point that past joint programs, such as the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, dont end up with any noteworthy savings to make them worthwhile. What this boondoggle may come down to is the Armys desire to emulate its rival, and that no tangible reason for them having a Predator program existed. As military analyst William Arkin told The Intercept, The Army in the end just wanted to be more like the Air Force, more capable of targeted killing. Claire Bernish writes for theAntiMedia.org.

3	Beyond Drones: Combating the System of Militarism and ImperialismHowever, the problems go beyond just the military sphere. It has leaked into American society, and specifically into the social realm and how the American people relate to our government. There is a psychological battle to be held as well. The American people have become accustomed to their country being in a perpetual state of war. In many ways, some have become complacent at best, and, at worst, will actually support the humanitarian interventions launched by the Obama administration. Just like with the drone debate, we should also work to have people realize that, while the names and terminology may have changed, the death and destruction have remained the same. This is especially important for those on the left, as there are many liberals whose hypocrisy has been revealed by condemning Bushs wars of aggression, but support interfering in the affairs of sovereign nations now that Obama is at the helm. We must combat these hypocritical and uninvolved minds, lest we allow these problems to perpetuate. We must combat what Martin Luther King Jr. called the giant triplets of racism, militarism, and economic exploitation if we are to mount a truly successful attack on the drone war. The drone wars are a byproduct of the War on Terror and its associated effects at home and abroad. If we do not look at this interconnected system, we will, in a way, be wasting our time as we will only be cutting off a branch of a tree rather than getting to the roots. We must go beyond drones.

1	According to Main Street Tavern employees and patrons, the guy at the end of the bar is a little too into deceased blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan. The guy (right) discusses Stevie Ray Vaughan with an uninterested stranger. Bar-goer John Menke said that the guy, an unidentified beret- and denim-vest-wearing man in his early 30s, should be avoided 'unless you want to talk about Stevie Ray Vaughan for at least an hour.' 'I go up to get another pitcher of beer, and this guy at the bar just stares at me, biting his lip and nodding his head to the Stevie Ray Vaughan song on the jukebox,' Menke said. 'I try to look away, but then I accidentally make eye contact for a split second. That's when he says to me, 'Man, there'll never be another SRV.' Before you know it, I'm trapped listening to him go off about Vaughan's blistering guitar solo [on 'Cold Shot'].' After expounding on Vaughan's 'fiery, impassioned guitar work' on 'Cold Shot' for several minutes, the guy explained to Menke the song's origins. 'The guy says to me, 'Stevie used to sing this to the women he felt had wronged him, but he realized he was the one who was cold to women because of his addictions,'' Menke said. 'I definitely got the feeling that this wasn't the first time this guy had ever told a complete stranger that story.' The guy was about to explain to Menke that the title of the album In Step was a reference to the 12-step program Vaughan had completed, but Menke excused himself to go to the men's room. After waiting in the bathroom the approximate length of time it would take to urinate, Menke ordered a pitcher of beer at the other end of the bar and returned to his table. Main Street Tavern patron Bill Raychek, who later in the evening encountered the guy at the bar's pool table, said he 'went on and on' about how Vaughan had finally begun to turn his life around and conquer his demons when he was tragically killed in the summer of 1990. 'I don't recall asking the guy to tell me about the night of Stevie Ray Vaughan's death in great detail, but he did,' Raychek said. 'As you no doubt know, Vaughan had just finished a show with Clapton, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, and his brother Jimmie at Alpine Valley Music Theater in East Troy, WI, and was going to drive back to Chicago. At the last minute, though, Vaughan decided to board a helicopter instead. Shortly after take-off, in a thick fog, the chopper crashed into a nearby hillside, killing all five on board, including numerous members of Clapton's management team.' Continued Raychek: 'When the guy told me that, I responded by saying, 'Wow,' in as disinterested a manner possible. But he just plowed on ahead, telling me how ironic it was that the last song Stevie ever played was a transcendent 20-minute version of 'Sweet Home Chicago,' almost as if he knew he'd be called home to the Lord that night.' Bartender Frank Aufiero said the guy's habit of steering any conversation toward the subject of Stevie Ray Vaughan was 'extremely irritating.' 'For some reason, I was talking to someone about Annette Funicello,' Aufiero said. 'Out of nowhere, the guy chimes in about how the soundtrack for the Funicello movie Back To The Beach has Vaughan collaborating with Dick Dale on a version of 'Pipeline.' It's almost like he's playing Six Degrees Of Stevie Ray Vaughan.' Aufiero acknowledged that he himself likes Vaughan, but said he finds the guy at the bar's enthusiasm 'a bit much.' 'Stevie's great, but there are other things to talk about in this world,' Aufiero said. 'I mean, when I go out someplace, I don't sit around saying things like, 'Without Stevie Ray Vaughan, there is no Jonny Lang or Kenny Wayne Shepherd.' If I didn't know better, I'd think this guy was hired by Vaughan's PR firm, but his territory is only this bar.' 
2	Mayor Refuses Obamas Demand For Resignation For Calling Him And Michelle Muslims Major Bruce Hagen of Wisconsin has caused massive controversy by calling President Obama a Muslim in one of this Facebook posts. After a picture of Michelle Obama was posted to his wall, he said this: Unbelievable! She and her Muslim partner have destroyed the fabric of democracy that was so very hard fought for! Obama has demanded his resignation, but it isnt as simple as that. Do we still have freedom of speech in the country? Sometimes I kind of forget, Hagen asked Fox 21 rhetorically. I have huge respect for the Office of the President, but no respect for the current administration, he said. Do you think this Mayor has the right to his opinion? Should he continue to fight Obama? 
1	On the outside it may look like any other home, but within the walls of 6535 Maple Ave. lies a terrifying secret: Every night, when the sun goes down and the moon comes out, this suburban bungalow is haunted by the restless, tormented souls of its current residents, the Davidson family. 'I always get this eerie chill whenever I walk by that house,' said Katherine Sturges, who has lived next to the spooky residence for nearly a decade. 'Sometimes, if you listen closely, you can hear these terrible screams at night. God-awful screams about money and hell and wanting a divorce.' Added Sturges, 'I'm telling you, there's something not quite right about that Davidson place.' According to neighbors, three dead-eyed specters haunt the cursed dwelling: Jonathan Davidson, 58, a once-successful attorney whom many claim died on the inside years ago; his wife, Sheila, 56, a hollow, waiflike figure who reportedly roams the hallways of her home late at night, searching for a time long since past; and their adult son, Peter. 'They say the ghosts of what was once a happy family inhabit that home,' neighbor Douglas Smith said. 'I've heard doors slamming and cupboards being opened and closed at all hours of the night. I've even heard mournful wails coming from the basement, where poor Peter supposedly sleeps, estranged from the only woman he ever loved. Gives me the heebie-jeebies just talking about it.' Though few actually know what takes place inside 6535 Maple Ave., and fewer still wish to find out, a number of local residents have devised theories based on strange sightings. In August, neighbors reported seeing the bone-chilling apparition of an intoxicated and half-naked Jon Davidson wandering aimlessly in his backyard. And last week, several residents claimed to have witnessed a stunted man-child playing with his toys in the driveway, though the unsettling vision was gone when they looked again a few minutes later. 'I heard the father who lives in that house went crazy after he lost his job, and feels empty and alone even though he still has his wife and son,' said Jessica Deer, a fifth-grader at a local elementary school. 'Sometimes he stays up all night reliving and regretting decisions he's made in the past. At least, that's what some of the other kids told me.' 'Also, he cries and sobs at TV commercials,' Deer continued. 'It's really freaky.' Michael Lax, a senior at Hartford High School, told reporters he's also heard a number of the frightening tales. 'I know this is going to sound made-up, but they say that Sheila, the wife, sometimes looks in the mirror, and, like, sees someone else,' Lax said. 'Well, not exactly someone else, but, likeand this is super creepya younger version of herself. And apparently, the woman she sees in the mirror, she's a lot more beautiful than Sheila is, and she's married to someone else, someone who doesn't call her names when he gets angry and whom she still loves and feels close to.' 'Man, I wouldn't set foot inside that place for a million bucks,' Lax added. Some residents, however, said the stories about the Davidson family are entirely fabricated. 'Trust me, this junk is just intended to scare little children and titillate housewives who have nothing better to do than gossip,' local resident Carol Henderson said while helping her husband and two daughters plant some new azalea bushes in their front yard. 'Seriously, now, who ever heard of a family that doesn't eat dinner together every night? That just sounds like a bunch of hogwash if you ask me.' 
2	BREAKING: Obama Makes Horrifying Announcement About 3rd Term... This Is Our Nightmare Conservative commentator Jamie Dech sparked fear this week when he predicted that President Barack Obama would attempt to leverage his political and media infrastructure to bypass the current presidential election. Dech believes he could intend to enter the race as a candidate. I believe, depending on Republican race results and possible agitation in the aftermath, its possible Obama could try for a third term, Dech wrote last week. I dont think he wants to give up the White House next January, if he can help it. This is a scary thought, especially given that a disturbing video has surfaced showing Obama claiming that if voters had the choice, they would elect him for a third term. I think if I ran, I could win, Obama claimed while delivering a speech in Ethiopia. But I cant. He then went on to discuss the many riots and protests weve seen in this country under his leadership. If there is massive unrest by groups like Black Lives Matterenough to cause a need for martial law, with National Guard action and allthen, if he declares himself king of the White House, how would he be stopped? he asked. What do you think of these rumors? Do we need Obama out of the White House ASAP? 
2	Sarah Palin Just Got A New Job, And Liberals Are Freaking Out Recent reports have revealed that Sarah Palin is a serious contender for the role of the next co-host on The View. During an interview with RadarOnline, an insider revealed that Sarah has been in talks with The View to become a part of the cast as the voice of the far right. During talks, it was brought to Sarahs attention that mainstream Americans havent heard from her in a while. As a response, Palin has decided to launch her own video channel to engage with the public, and prove to network executives that she can make a splash. The source continued on to claim that the only hesitation from the network is the feasibility of the former Alaska governor commuting to New York City to make appearances. She has proposed that she work three weeks a month in NYC, and then go back to Alaska, the source claims. During sweeps, she would of course not take time off. While some claim that Palin would be a great way to get new people interested in the talk show, others, Rosie ODonnell included, are not happy about the potential co-host. Whenever Sarah opens her mouth, it creates controversy, and that is exactly what ABC needs to get the View back on track, the source claims. What do you think of Palin becoming a co-host? How do you think she should fare discussing politics with Whoopi Goldberg? 
1	Moments after the Kings took turns hoisting the Stanley Cup in celebration of their championship victory Monday, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman gave the team instructions on caring for the trophy and distributed a six-page, stapled document listing everything it's allergic to. 'First off: I know you guys are really excited, but no latex,' Bettman told Kings captain Dustin Brown, puffing his cheeks and gesturing with his arms away from his sides to demonstrate how the trophy swells up. 'And absolutely no gluten. Seriously, don't even breathe on the Cup if you've just eaten pasta, let alone kiss it. Damn thing will be covered in hives for days.' Bettman also had every member of the squad practice injecting the Stanley Cup with its EpiPen, instructing the Kings to put the needle through the ring section listing the 1974 champion Philadelphia Flyers, which is already riddled in scar tissue anyway. 
2	Fox Host Loses It, Goes OFF On Bernie Sanders On Live TV [VIDEO] Fox Business host Stuart Varney was unable to hold back at the beginning of this week, after a supporter of Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders applauded his plan to redistribute wealth. I really believe in his vision for the working class, expanding the middle class, and redistributing the income in this country, Erin Bilbray told Varney. Varney was immediately thrown off by the comment. OK, alright, youre going to take it off me and give it to somebody else, he commented. I got it. OK. No, no, no, thats not what Im saying, Bilbray was quick to reply. But Varney did not back down. Lets not beat around the bush, he fired back. He is going to take it off me. I already pay 60 percent of my income in taxes, and he wants more. Please, dont confuse the issue, he is going to take it off me and give it to somebody else. If you think thats OK, thats fine with me. I dont. Let me move on. Bilbray then went on to argue that she is a middle-class working mother, who is excited that Sanders tax plan will help her children go to college. OK. Ive got six kids, nine grandchildren, and I dont like paying 60 percent of my income in taxes, and Im damned if Im going to pay any more, he concluded. Watch the full interaction below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Varney? 
1	At a press conference following Monday's practice, newly appointed Rogues head coach Adam Kewell said the team was feeling cheerfully optimistic about the upcoming season despite the constant reminder of the devastating terrorist attacks that killed thousands in the city last winter. 'Obviously football had to take a backseat for a while there, and our thoughts are with all the victims and their families,' said Kewell, referring to the bombings that destroyed much of the city's infrastructure and obliterated the field at Gotham Stadium, forcing the Rogues to play home games at Gotham Tech Stadium. 'We only have one player left on the roster from last season, but everyone in this organization knows how important football is to the Gotham community, especially this year. If we can help the healing process by winning some football games, then that's exactly what we're going to do.' Rogues officials later unveiled the team's new jerseys, which feature 89 black patches commemorating the Gotham City players and coaches who lost their lives during the tragic attacks. 
2	Donald Trump: I Will Mandate Death Penalty For Killing Police Officers According to recent reports, Donald Trump is causing controversy once againthis time after vowing to issue an executive order that would make the death penalty a punishment for murdering a cop. One of the first things Id do in terms of executive order, if I win, will be to sign a strong, strong statement that would go out to the country, out to the world, anybody killing policemen, police women, police officer, anybodythe death penalty is going to happen, Trump said in a statement. We cant let this go, he continued, speaking to a New Hampshire crowd. This comment came after the New England Police Benevolent Association voted to endorse Trump. I want to let you know, the police and law enforcement in this country, I will never ever let them down, he concluded. What do you think? Is Trump a stronger leader than Obama will ever be? 
3	FBI Caught in a Web of Lies in BostonPlease help us ID them. Oops, we already knew exactly who they were. Why did the FBI make a spectacle out of releasing the photos of the alleged Boston bombing suspects to the public feigning ignorance on who they were, asking for the publics help to identify them, when they knew all along who they were? Remember the FBI saying the following: This entire press conference is now exposed as a lie since we now know the FBI was monitoring them at every step, according to their own admission. The FBI originally denied first meeting with the bombing suspect two years ago (lie #2), according to CBS. That was until they were forced to admit their involvement with the suspects. CBS reported The FBI admitted Friday they interviewed the now-deceased Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev two years ago and failed to find any incriminating information about him. Their mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, in an interview with RT, said that the FBI had made contact with the family on multiple occasions: So the FBI, after first denying monitoring them, says yes, we did meet with him (Tamerlan) but failed to find any incriminating information about him while telling their mother that he was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him. (lie #3) There are only two possible conclusions to explain the FBIs blatant lies; either theyre covering up their completeincompetence to stop attacks that they were monitoring, or theyre covering up the fact that they were spurring and handling the bombing plot in the first place, as theyve done in countless other fake terror plot cases. History would indicate that the lies are a little of both: direct involvement and incompetence. Its apparent they had a direct hand working with the suspects, but complete incompetence in pulling off the plot without their fingerprints all over it. This deception in the Boston bombing case was premeditated and not just some fog-of-war, we-dont-have-all-the-facts-yet confusion. That much is now clear. And since these significant lies have been revealed, how are we to believe in wild car chases, car jackings, police shootouts, and the rest of the crazy narrative spewing out of the FBIs PR department? Its beyond convenient for covering up their deception that the Tsarnaev brothers have been rendered incapacitated with one mutilated and killed, and the other in critical condition waiting for justice without Miranda Rights. It will surprise no one ifDzhokhar (suspect 2) winds up dead, because dead men tell no tales. Fact: the FBI has been involved in staging numerous fake terror plots using patsies to make themselves look like heroes when they stop the attack. Now theyve been caught in a web of lies surrounding one that went live and resulted in the deaths of Americans. Question: In what world are they not the prime suspects here? Their days of terrorizing the American public into giving up civil liberties with false flags are numbered as the truth becomes more difficult to hide. Read other articles by selfnews Post Here 
2	While We Were All Focused On The Election Obama And Michelle Quietly Did This In the past week, America has been focused on the FBIs decision to reopen the investigation of Hillary Clintons use of a personal email server while Secretary of State. Of course, the Obamas tried to distract voters by focusing in on Halloween. The president ignored his wifes healthy foods initiative by issuing an executive order saying it was okay to eat candy. Its great to see you guys, Obama told the approximately 4,000 trick or treaters who visited the White House. We hope you have a great time today. You guys all lookscary or cool or whatever youre trying to beawesome. You look awesome. And we hope you have a great time. And, in fact, the more candy, the later you eat the candy the better, he added. Because I think that you being up all night with a sugar rush is exactly what theyre looking for. The first couple then performed the Thriller dance from the famous Michael Jackson song. The Obamas may be laughing now, but we doubt theyll be in such high spirits when Donald Trump takes over the White House. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Are you ready for the Obamas to be out of the White House for good? 
1	Acknowledging that employment prospects for young Americans remain bleak, a report released Thursday by the National Bureau of Economic Research warns recent college graduates they may have to tough it out for up to six weeks before landing their dream job. It is important for college graduates to realize that, in this tough economic climate, you may endure a month, possibly a month and a half, of sending out rsums before you secure the perfect job in the field of your choosing that exceeds even your wildest expectations, said Dr. Kyle Ferguson, author of the report, adding that students should prepare themselves now for the possibility they may spend up to half the summer grinding it out in search of a deeply fulfilling position that satisfies every single one of their criteria. Itll definitely take multiple rounds of applications, and you may even have to settle and work at your second- or third-most ideal option during the month of June. However, if you keep your head up and stick with it, the data suggest that you will receive an employment offer for the position you have always longed for well before Labor Day weekend. Ferguson added that, given currently stagnant wage growth, recent graduates should be willing to accept a salary at 90 to 95 percent of what they feel they deserve. 
2	A Congressman Just Accused Obama Of Treason On House Floor, Heres How He Responds [VIDEO] Over three years ago, Representative Louie Gohmert made the prediction that the Muslim Brotherhood would take over Egypt, and that Islamists would soon be engaged in an active effort to establish an Islamic state throughout the world. At the time, Gohmert questioned Obamas statement that he had been to all 57 states. The Texas Republican went on to condemn Obama for his obvious support of organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
3	Police Learn Propaganda Tactics at Internet ConferenceJoe Wright The sixth annual Social Media, the Internet and Law Enforcement (SMILE) conference at the Omni Hotel in Richmond Virginia made the dissemination of propaganda a focal point. Being connected online puts police on the streets of the virtual world, which offers an opportunity to engage in news management. As stated by Police Chief Rick Clark: You cant afford not to. However, beyond merely walking a virtual beat and engaging their fellow citizens when called upon, emphasis was also placed on tactics for monitoring discussions for criminal activity through social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. This is a trend that is trickling down from the federal government who has come under fire from civil liberties groups for creating a range of social media task forces and initiatives; the Electronic Privacy InformationCenter directly took on DHS, seeking disclosure of records detailing the Department of Homeland Securitys media monitoring activities. And the Internet is apparently the biggest radicalizing threat of all, as just about anyone can apparently find a terrorist recruiter and enlist in a training camp, according to the Pentagon. (Source) That is, if youd like to collude with government agents to become a patsy for their latest false flag event, as has happened nearly every time, but I digress. We try to tell our own story, Norwood said. Its a real positive way to interact. And in words that any prospective tyrant would love: (Police Chief) Clark said he was lucky to work in a town without a daily newspaper or television station. He said he thought his departments website was his towns news source, at least on police information. Having a police station as the only source of news is even worse than having cable TV news which masquerades as something different than a political agenda dressed up in pseudo-debate. The guarantee of fair, balanced and truthful information sounds something like what the police division in Milwaukee says about their own website The Source, which claims to give you the genuine, unfiltered information from us. Because banning propaganda Ties the Hands of Americas Diplomatic Officials, Military, and Others by Inhibiting Our Ability to Effectively Communicate In a Credible Way.

LAwSComms expert training is delivered through the LAwS Academy. Training is tailored to each agencys needs and delivered in half-day, full-day or multiple-day sessions. (Source) Open Source communication technologies available today allow organizations to efficiently gather and distribute information like never before. LAwS Communications works with law enforcement professionals to help make sense of the tools available, help agencies craft a plan and social media policy as well as provide the training needed. LAwS Communications can help law enforcement organizations not only understand why an agency should take advantage of social media technologies, but also how to leverage these vast resources. The agencies that are effectively using these tools are shrinking their communities, improving communication with citizens and enhancing their reputations through the transparency and accountability. Other agencies are developing sophisticated methods for investigation, crime solving and prevention. Police departments, in particular, have an opportunity to better educate their communities about who they are and what they do and to therefore increase and improve communication with the public they serve. LAwS Communications properties include The SMILE (Social Media the Internet and Law Enforcement) Conference, the internationally known blog ConnectedCOPS.net, and the C.O.P.P.S. Social Media Method.

3	Lies You Will Hear As The Economic Collapse ProgressesBy Brandon Smith In fact, the mainstream spin machine is going into high speed the more negative data is exposed and absorbed into the markets. If you know your history, then you know that this is a common tactic by the establishment elite to string the public along with false hopes so that they do not prepare or take alternative measures while the system crumbles around their ears. At the onset of the Great Depression the same strategies were used. Consider if youve heard similar quotes to these in the mainstream news over the past couple months: John Maynard Keynes in 1927: We will not have any more crashes in our time. H.H. Simmons, president of the New York Stock Exchange, Jan. 12, 1928: I cannot help but raise a dissenting voice to statements that we are living in a fools paradise, and that prosperity in this country must necessarily diminish and recede in the near future. Irving Fisher, leading U.S. economist, The New York Times, Sept. 5, 1929: There may be a recession in stock prices, but not anything in the nature of a crash. And on 17, 1929: Stock prices have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau. I do not feel there will be soon if ever a 50 or 60 point break from present levels, such as (bears) have predicted. I expect to see the stock market a good deal higher within a few months. W. McNeel, market analyst, as quoted in the New York Herald Tribune, Oct. 30, 1929: This is the time to buy stocks. This is the time to recall the words of the late J. P. Morgan that any man who is bearish on America will go broke. Within a few days there is likely to be a bear panic rather than a bull panic. Many of the low prices as a result of this hysterical selling are not likely to be reached again in many years. Harvard Economic Society, Nov. 10, 1929: a serious depression seems improbable; [we expect] recovery of business next spring, with further improvement in the fall. Here is the issue as I have ALWAYS said, economic collapse is not a singular event, it is a process. The global economy has been in the process of collapse since 2008 and it never left that path. Those who were ignorant took government statistics at face value and the manipulated bull market as legitimate and refused to acknowledge the fundamentals. Now, with markets recently suffering one of the greatest freefalls since the 2008/2009 crash, they are witnessing the folly of their assumptions, but that does not mean they will accept them or apologize for them outright. If there is one lesson I have learned well during my time in the Liberty Movement, it is to never underestimate the power of normalcy bias. There were plenty of up days in the markets during the Great Depression, and this kept the false dream of a quick recovery alive for a large percentage of the American population for many years. Expect numerous stunning stock reversals as the collapse of our era progresses, but always remember that it is the overall TREND that matters far more than any one positive or negative trading day (unless you open down 1000 points as we did on Monday), and even more important than the trends are the economic fundamentals. The establishment has made every effort to hide the fundamentals from the public through far reaching misrepresentations of economic stats. However, the days of effective disinformation in terms of the financial system are coming to an end. As investors and the general public begin to absorb the reality that the global economy is indeed witnessing a vast crisis scenario and acknowledges real numbers over fraudulent numbers, the only recourse of central bankers and the governments they control is to convince the public that the crisis they are witnessing is not really a crisis. That is to say, the establishment will attempt to marginalize the collapse signals they can no longer hide as if such signals are of minimal importance. Just as occurred during the onset of the Great Depression, the lies will be legion the closer we come to zero hour. Here are some of the lies you will likely hear as the collapse accelerates The hypocrisy inherent in this lie is truly astounding, to say the least, considering it is now being uttered by the same mainstream dirtbags who only months ago were claiming that Chinas financial turmoil and stock market upset were inconsequential and would have little to no effect on Western markets. I specifically recall these hilarious quotes from Barbara Rockefeller in July: Something else that doesnt matter much is the Chinese equity meltdownagain. China may be big and powerful, but it lacks a retail base and fund managers experienced in price variations, never mind a true rout Doom-and-gloom types have been saying for a long time that we will get a stock market rout when the Fed finally does move to raise rates. But as we wrote last week, history doesnt bear out the thesis, not that you can really count on history when the sample size is one or two data points Yes, that is a bit embarrassing. One or two data points? There have been many central bank interventions in history. When has ANY central bank or any government ever used stimulus to manipulate markets through fiat infusion and zero interest fueled stock buybacks or given government the ability to monetize its own debt, and actually been successful in the endeavor? When has addicting markets to stimulus like a heroin dealer ever led to recovery? When has this kind of behavior ever NOT created massive fiscal bubbles, a steady degradation of the host society, or outright calamity? Suddenly, according to the MSM, Chinas economy does affect us. Not only that, but China is to blame for all the ills of the globally interdependent economic structure. And, the mere mention that the Fed might delay the end of near zero interest rates in September by a Federal Reserve stooge recently sent markets up 600 points after a week-long bloodbath; meaning, the potential for any interest rate increase no mater how small also has wider implications for markets. The truth is, the crash in global stocks which will undoubtedly continue over the next several months despite any delays on ZIRP by the Fed is a product of universal decay in fiscal infrastructure. Nearly every single nation on this planet, every sovereign economy, has allowed central and international banks to poison every aspect of their respective systems with debt and manipulation. This is not a contagion problem, it is a systemic problem to every economy across the world. Chinas crash matters not because it is causing all other economies to crash. It matters because China is the largest importer/exporter in the world and it is a litmus test for the financial health of every other country. If China is failing, it means we are not consuming, and if we are not consuming, then we must be broke. Chinas crash portends our own far worse economic conditions. THAT is why western markets have been crumbling along with Chinas despite the assumptions of the mainstream. No they wont. China has cut rates five times since last November and this has done nothing to stem the tide of their market collapse. Im not sure why anyone would think that a new rate cut would accomplish anything besides perhaps a brief respite from the continuing avalanche. Its Not A Crash, Its Just The End Of A Market Cycle This is the most ignorant non-explanation I think I have ever heard. There is no such thing as a market cycle when your markets are supported partially or fully by fiat manipulation. Our market is in no way a free market, thus, it cannot behave like a free market, and thus, it is a stunted market with no identifiable cycles. Swings in markets of up to 5%-6% to the downside or upside (sometimes both in a single day) are not part of a normal cycle. They are a sign of cancerous volatility that comes from an economy on the brink of disaster. The last few years have been seemingly endless market bliss in which any idiot day trader could not go wrong as long as he bought the dip while Fed monetary intervention stayed the course. This is also not normal, even in the so-called new normal. Yes, the current equities turmoil is an inevitable result of manipulated markets, false statistics, and misplaced hopes, but it is indeed a tangible crash in the making. It is in no way an example of a predictable and non-threatening market cycle, and the fact that mainstream talking heads and the people who parrot them had absolutely no clue it was coming is only further evidence of this. Dont count on it. Public statements by globalist entities like the IMF on China, for example, have argued that their current crisis is merely part of the new normal; a future in which stagnant growth and reduced living standards is the way things are supposed to be. I expect the Fed will use the same exact argument to support the end of zero interest rates in the U.S., claiming that the decline of American wealth and living standards is a natural part of the new economic world order we are entering. Thats right, mark my words, one day soon the Fed, the IMF, the BIS and others will attempt to convince the American people that the erosion of the economy and the loss of world reserve status is actually a good thing. They will claim that a strong dollar is the cause of all our economic pain and that a loss in value is necessary. In the meantime they will, of course, downplay the tragedies that will result as the shift toward dollar devaluation smashes down on the heads of the populace. A rate hike may not occur in September. In fact, as I predicted in my last article, the Fed is already hinting at a delay in order to boost markets, or at least slow down the current carnage to a more manageable level. But, they WILL raise rates in the near term, likely before the end of this year after a few high tension meetings in which the financial world will sit anxiously waiting for the word on high. Why would they raise rates? Some people just dont seem to grasp the fact that the job of the Federal Reserve is to destroy the American economic system, not protect it. Once you understand this dynamic then everything the central bank does makes perfect sense. A rate increase will occur exactly because that is what is needed to further destabilize U.S. market psychology to make way for the great economic reset that the IMF and Christine Lagarde are so fond of promoting. Beyond this, many people seem to be forgetting that ZIRP is still operating, yet, volatility is trending negative anyway. Remember when everyone was ready to put on their Dow 20,000 hat, certain in the omnipotence of central bank stimulus and QE infinity? Yeahclearly that was a pipe dream. ZIRP has run its course. It is no longer feeding the markets as it once did and the fundamentals are too obvious to deny. The globalists at the Bank for International Settlements in spring openly deemed the existence of low interest rate policies a potential trigger for crisis. Their statements correlate with the BIS tendency to predict terrible market events they helped to create while at the same time misrepresenting the reasons behind them. The point is, ZIRP has done the job it was meant to do. There is no longer any reason for the Fed to leave it in place. Again, dont count on it. Or at the very least, dont expect renewed QE to have any lasting effect on the market if it is initiated. There is truly no point to the launch of a fourth QE program, but do expect that the Fed will plant the possibility in the media every once in a while to mislead investors. First, the Fed knows that it would be an open admission that the last three QEs were an utter failure, and while their job is to dismantle the U.S. economy, I dont think they are looking to take immediate blame for the whole mess. QE4 would be as much a disaster as the ECBs last stimulus program was in Europe, not to mention the past several stimulus actions by the PBOC in China. Ill say it one more time fiat stimulus has a shelf life, and that shelf life is over for the entire globe. The days of artificially supported markets are nearly done and they are never coming back again. I see little advantage for the Fed to bring QE4 into the picture. If the goal is to derail the dollar, that action is already well underway as the IMF carefully sets the stage for the Yuan to enter the SDR global currency basket next year, threatening the dollars world reserve status. China also continues to dump hundreds of billions in U.S. treasuries inevitably leading to a rush to a dump of treasuries by other nations. The dollar is a dead currency walking, and the Fed wont even have to print Weimar Germany-style in order to kill it. Yes, it is exactly as bad as it seems if not worse. When the Dow can open 1000 points down on a Monday and China can lose all of its gains for 2015 in the span of a few weeks despite institutionalized stimulus measures lasting years, then something is very wrong. This is not a hiccup. This is not a correction which has already hit bottom. This is only the beginning of the end. Stocks are not a predictive indicator. They do not follow positive or negative fundamentals. Stocks do not crash before or during the development of an ailing economy. Stocks crash after the economy has already gone comatose. Stocks crash when the system is no longer salvageable. Since 2008, nothing in the global financial structure has been salvaged and now the central banking edifice is either unable or unwilling (I believe both) to supply the tools to allow us even to pretend that it can be salvaged.

3	Turkey Invades Syria, Backed By U.S.By Brandon Turbeville According to the BBC, A dozen Turkish tanks and other vehicles have rolled across the Syrian border after heavy shelling of an area held by so-called Islamic State (IS). Military sources told Turkish media 70 targets in the Jarablus area had been destroyed by artillery and rocket strikes, and 12 by air strikes. For those who may be wondering exactly what the Turkish goal might be, two points must be mentioned in regards to Turkeys actions which should go some length to demonstrate that the Turks are still focused on destroying the Syrian government as well as preventing the establishment of a Kurdish enclave either in Syria or Turkey. First, the Turkish military is acting as the frontal assault for moderate rebel forces like the FSA who are marching in directly behind the Turkish military to hold territory conquered by the Turks. Any association with the Free Syrian Army, a gaggle of Western-backed extremists indistinguishable from ISIS, should be a major warning sign to any informed observer that the goal is not to aid in the destruction of terrorist forces in Syria or to assist the Syrian government in its goal to do so. Second, the Turkish invasion was accompanied by American airstrikes which clearly indicates that the Turks are operating closely with the United States, which has been chomping at the bit to either directly destroy the Syrian government via military invasion or to create buffer zones and safe zones in the country to act as forward operating bases for future terrorist proxy operations. Al-Masdar reports on the progress of the Turkish military offensive by writing: According to Faylaq Al-Shams official media wing, their forces captured the village of Tal Katlijah after the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) terrorists quickly abandoned the area in order to reinforce Jarabulus. ISIS has mostly abandoned the small area between Jarabulus and the Turkish border, leaving only small units to resist the advancing Turkish-backed rebels. The Turkish-backed rebels are now attacking the hilltop village of Tal Shaer, which is along the road to Jarabulus. The Turk agenda here is also two-fold: On one hand, Turkeys Erdogan wants to continue to work with NATO and the United States to destroy the secular government of Bashar al-Assad while, on the other hand, Turkey needs to do all it can do to prevent an autonomous Kurdish enclave on its border with Syria. An effective way to do this is to create a buffer zone between the Kurds and Turkey while, at the same, making sure that the dimensions of the buffer zone are the same as the safe zone desired by NATO two years ago in order to keep terrorist supply lines moving through Turkey and in to Syria. That narrow and porous jihadist corridor has become known as the Jarablus corridor, the same areas which the Turks are now invading and filling up with terrorists as we speak. For its part, the Syrian government has condemned the Turkish invasion. As ABC News reports, Syrias government has denounced Turkish military incursion, describing it as Turkeys blatant violation of Syrian sovereignty. In a statement reported by state-run news agency SANA on Wednesday, the government says that any move to combat terrorism on Syrian territories should have been coordinated with the Syrian government and army. The statement also calls for an immediate end to the Turkish aggression, which it says is being carried out under the pretext of fighting terrorism. It says: Fighting terrorism cannot be undertaken by ousting Daesh and replacing it with other terrorist organizations directly backed by Turkey. Daesh is the Arabic language acronym for IS. The YPG has likewise condemned the Turkish involvement in Syria, labeling it a blatant aggression in Syrian internal affairs. Turkeys move raises even more questions now regarding the nature of its recent failed coup as well as its relationship with Russia and the United States. A troubling new dimension has also been added to the Syrian crisis as the Turks have now officially invaded a sovereign country in an already volatile region. Undoubtedly, we will be watching these events closely.

This article may be freely shared in part or in full with author attribution and source link. its biblical that the next war will start in Syria, how many factions or countries are fighting against each other there now? eventually it will escalate. the only thing that can save us now is prayer. What, you think this will start a nuclear war? And if so can you elaborate how that might come about? Who would launch first-strike for instance? I have read a lot of articles on the coming war, north korea has been threatening a first strike for years and they now have long range capability along with the short range that can be fired from a cargo ship. iran probably already has a nuclear weapon but will probably give it to a radical group to use so they wont be blamed. china is gearing up for all out war and has also been threatening the u.s. for not allowing them to take over Taiwan and I think hong cong. many articles have been written on the fears Russia has of a u.s. first strike and has all but come out and said they will strike first. they are also preparing their citizens by building underground cities like the Chinese are doing. the u.s. is putting missiles in Poland again supposedly to defend against iran but its to defend against Russia. even in the u.s. they are building underground tunnels in the u.s. (videos from tunnels under Walmart) it seems the whole world is preparing for war, governments are trying to manipulate weather (some may think this a conspiracy theory but look up H.A.R.R.P.) read an article about thirty years ago how the Russians were sending microwaves into the atmosphere to change jet streams trying to make a warm water port in the mediterrean and since then the east coast weather has been drastically changing. the water shortage, is it possible that an entity is trying to stop food production whether it is the corporations who now own most of south America or the government for control. so a first strike? dont know who will start it but the elites on all sides want to eliminate 90% of the population and what better way than a nuclear war. look at Ezekiel 38 and 39 while watching the news articles on turkey attacking Syria with u.s. planes, Russia attacking Syria (u.s. sponsored fighters) china is sending troops to Syria .we have sat back and allowed God to be taken out of our schools and our government and wonder why he is standing back and not protecting us any more. What if the war being launched in Syria is not a classic world war but the final war for our minds and what little freedom remains? Syria is the last country that the rothchilds dont have a bank to control the nation. it would seem that the accumulated conflicts would lead up to Armageddon as prophesied in the Bible. the final war for our minds and freedoms is always in the background with satan trying to defeat the last of the saints before Jesus comes back to settle it all. Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. pray, seek Jesus because its all in Gods plan to prove his word and let people see they still have a chance if they follow Him. Syrias central bank is tied to the Bank of International Settlements, the Rothschild mothership of international central banks. Syria has also been implementing IMF structural guidelines, for years, and formally signed on to UN Agenda 21, neoliberalizing Syrias culture and economy since the at least the early 2000s. The Assad clans wealth (billions) is interwoven with global elite holdings. Yes, we wrestle with rulers of the darkness who dont want the free world to see whats headed our way. thought they hadnt got a rothchild bank yet, thanks for the information. Syria has not signed the UN Agenda 21. All countries in attendance at the UN simply agreed to support it. The agreement was made via consensus and isnt currently legally binding. Syria is not part of the IMF, its banks and stock exchange (DSE- The Damascus Securities Exchange) is state owned or private and I cannot find any information that says otherwise. Agreed. Thats not correct, Syria is implementing the UN sustainability model that is Agenda 21, but nowhere near the level of progress of Iran and Russia who are far along into the planning and implementation, esp. Russia. I didnt say Syria is part of the IMF or currently has an IMF loan, I said it has been implementing IMF structural agreements. I read the official documents of the IMF committee for Syria. The Syrian govt itself recently asked that the UN oversee its humanitarian corridors rather than Russia (said to be a snub but I dont think thats it either). Gospel of Thomas: Jesus denounces anyone who puts their spiritual development in the hands of others, be they priests, prophets or politicians. Truer words have never been spoken. Throughout history, look at the mess these priests, prophets and politicians have made of our beautiful world. They sell nothing but false hope, lies deceit, fear, death and destruction. Most of them truly are evil incarnate. Iran and N Korea are still on the list. Its already too late for humanity. Look at the suffering western politicians have bestowed upon the people of secular Syria, fully supported by the western sheeple and never once did they threaten us, even now after all the death and destruction, Assad still hasnt threatened the west, yet the harbingers of death and destruction (Evil Elitists and their puppet politicians) would have us believe hes an evil dictator and half the stupid brain dead sheeple continue to believe every word of it, while applauding the death and destruction of Syria and its people.Theres no better teacher than first hand experience, Karma is a dish best served cold and the west deserves everything thats coming its way. Ironically when the death and destruction arrives on our doorstep, the immoral brain dead sheeple will be the first to cry foul play. You nailed it. Maybe it is hopeless with the masses brainwashed as much as they are. Humanity has been set at each others throats for countless generations and mass scale genocide has been another feature in all cultures. Who stopped the communists from murdering over 90 million of their own dissidents citizens in China, Russia, etc, the vast majority peaceful people? On the other hand, defeatism looks and smells a lot the learned helplessness weve been conditioned to our entire lives. What Absolute nonsense. God has never protected anyone and theres not a single shred of evidence that says otherwise. Stupid religious zealots have been waging war ever since God/Gods were invented. Slaughtering each other while appeasing their imaginary friend. Absolute insanity. I sincerely look forward to the day when all traces of God/Gods are eradicated from this Earth and the heavens and sanity is restored to this corner of the universe. Following the recent suicide bombing at a wedding in Turkey resulting in 51 deaths, the global lame stream media is portraying Turkeys military incursions into Syria as a nation victimized by ISIS joining the global coalition to confront terrorism. Were also told Turkey and Russia are becoming allies and Erdogan is dumping his apex elite handlers based in the US in retaliation for a coup instigated by Gulen. So, whats going on, is it simply a US backed attack on the Assad government or more layers of obfuscation? Before the suicide bombing, the Turkish government was about to enter a peace agreement with the Kurds. This process has been delayed but is still on track as part of the process of giving the Kurds a homeland. global lame stream media Sweet. I like it! I dont trust Erdogan as he is no better than the US pollys speaking with forked tongues. Agreed, Erdogan is no friend of the people forked tongue. What if my premise is correct and all nation state leaders are part of the global elite mafia? Then this is all a grand stage play to manufacture consent for a global military force to fight terrorism. They simultaneously use it to track us all. Every time another of these deeper incursions happen at the hands of the elite ruling class, whatever side theyre on, it becomes that much more evident that the only way they will ever be stopped is when the rest of us around the world realize that we are not the enemy. And by we I mean the 99% of the planet. And when we do realize that were gonna have to get up off our couches and act in solidarity. And with meaningful purpose. Or none of us, our children or their children may survive the future. And not because of nuclear war. but because the 1% control everything we need to survive, while at the same time theyre destroying the environment. Beautifully put. Had I been able to, Id have up-voted your comment 100 times! Ill second that! U2! Thank you! Almost 99% of the 99% either cannot or will not be distracted by getting off their couches and putting their butts into some kind of solidaritygear. The we referred to by James Stone are pathetically mind controlled and under-prepared to act on their own behalves. Thats the problem that guarantees destruction of the environment. Observationally I have to agree. But that is no reason to give up on them. To stop trying to rally the troops so to speak. Is it? Many of those we roam the posts in these blogs, perhaps waiting for the right words, the properly-put motivation to move. Motivation youre not supplying with an attitude like that. I prefer to be optimistic. I prefer at least not to lay down and quit. How about you? Excellent post. You get it. We need to take the elite globalists out now! Thanks brother! Yeah, if only we could muster up some significant support If we can get Jill Stein elected that would be a really good start. They might make her time in office impotent, but theyd also be hard-pressed to do anything without her approval. That couldnt be said I dont think for any of the other candidates, including Johnson who as a libertarian is just as much a capitalist as the rest of them. Well meanwhile I guess we just keep pushing back! Let em know were watching them? And Turkey had the gall to shoot down a Russian plane for being in Turkish airspace for 17 seconds! So much for respecting borders! They respect what they consider their own borders at the time Sometimes I think it is hard to take some of this seriously because Im sure there are some Ive missed, but when you back up and start looking at it from a distance, it really starts looking pretty nuts. Maybe we should start concentrating on the people who are constantly trying to make us afraid. sorry you feel that way, yes I do see satan in a lot of things but I also see God in most things which is a comfort for me. I dont know everything about what is happening in the world or why but I do know that God has a plan and we are all included in it being able to make choices to go in any direction we want and follow any God or god or not. so I will still pray to my God and believe He will fulfill his purpose in me and you regardless of what we think about it. maybe im not as smart as some people but that doesnt mean I dont reason like you do, I have just come to a different conclusion that God is real, does intervene in our lives, is with us now and will be there in the end. 
3	Ebola and Beheading - Measuring The Disinfo and FearMorris 
3	Drone Footage of a Battlefield Victory in the Orwellian Permanent WarBy Isaac Davis Russia is now flying sorties over Syria against CIA-backed ISIS and other militant groups. Rhetoric and propaganda is building daily, and China is on the brink of entering Syria. Israel and the US arent sure who to attack next, while Iran and Turkey are threatening to get more heavily involved. Iraq, meanwhile, is an on-going bloodbath, and surrounding nations are in various states of extreme duress and explosive tyranny. Northern Africa is a power vacuum after the take down of Libya and millions are fleeing the region as the refugee crisis in Europe explodes. The military industrial complex in coordination with government and the global financiers of warhave been pushing for decades for the total destabilzation of the area, and stand to profit significantly as the situation deteriorates further.As the madness from this spreads across the globe, theyll make sure that there are more war materials available than there is food. As the pitch rises andand human beings lose more of their connection to humanity, the propagandists andpundits whomanufacture consent for the oligarchywill beat us over the head with the idea that victory must come at all costs. That we must endure and sacrifice until the end. This is how it always happens. Were to be pawns. Pawns are told what to do. So what does a victory look like inWW3 and in the War on Terror? Drone footage taken in the aftermath of the battle for Kobane,a once bustling Syrian city that borders with Turkey,gives us a pretty clear picture of what it takes to win the type of war that is now growing like wildfire in the region.ISIS entered the town in 2014 and began raping and beheading people, causing mass exodus into Turkey. AUS-led coalition assisted by airstrikes temporarily drove ISIS from the area in June of 2015 after months of fierce fighting, giving the coalition an opportunity to assess the damage. The presented aerial footage gives you an idea of what it takes to win. Its being called a grim victory. Semantics is key to propaganda, you see. As far as the eye can see, the destruction is jaw-dropping after what was the fiercest and bloodiest battle in the war against ISIS to date. Thousands fled as the jihadis besieged the border town, subjecting it to daily bombardments and months of bitter street fighting before finally taking control late last year. The terror group was eventually beaten back into the desert by Kurdish forces and coalition airstrikes that have reduced much of the town to rubble. [Source] To a war profiteer, what youre about to see looks like a pot of gold and the end a rainbow. Take a look for yourself: In 2013 it appearedimminent that the US would invade Syria, but the world spoke up and Russia flexed its muscle and the US stood down. Now, after a mere 2 short years, Al Qaeda has morphed into ISIS and the situation in Syria has devolved tragically to apocalyptic levels. Their entire society and culture is being wiped outby the Grand Chess Masters. Sadly, ISIS is already attacking Kobane again, thus demonstrating a gruesome truthof the Orwellian permanent war: there is no such thing as victory. Check out the real situation. Nation war against nation. Where did it all begin? When will it end? Well, it seems like total destruction is the only solution. Robert Nesta Marley If there are any books, or people for that matter, left on the planet after all this plays out it will be noted that 2015 was the year that the world shifted from a slowish-burn to an all-out raging pissing contest of mutual destruction. Were now under a blood moon. Be forewarned, and do yourpart to grind against the gears of war. Isaac Davis is an outspoken advocate of liberty and an honest society from the top down.

2	CNN Is Trying To Censor This NFL Stars Faith, He Needs Our Help [VIDEO] Recently, NFL star Benjamin Watson caused quite a stir when he mentioned Jesus Christ in an interview on CNN. In fact, the network abruptly cut the interview short, displaying just how much the media controls what we see and what we dont. To those who saw the interview, this represents the spinning and bias of the coverage that America receives through the mainstream media. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	Sources close to God reported Thursday that the Creator of the Universe and Author of Our Eternal Salvation suffered a crippling bout of existential dread this week, lying awake all night as He pondered His own immortality. Anxiously drumming His fingers, the all-powerful being was reportedly unable to sleep as His mind raced with thoughts of the unfathomable nature of eternity, the relentless expansion of space and time, and His own never-ending existence. Is this all there is? Im here now, 70 or 80 years go by, and then Im still hereforever? said God, staring up at the ceiling after a half hour of tossing and turning. Thats horrible! And whats worse, at some point everyone I know will have died, which means no one anywhere in the universe will even remember I ever existed. Fuck, thats a terrifying thought, God added. According to reports, God then got up, put on His robes, and paced through the heavens, feeling a sense of dread in the pit of His stomach as He contemplated His overwhelming significance in the grand scheme of things. Reasoning that He would be able to calm down if He just had something to take His all-knowing mind off everything, God reportedly read 1,000 books and created several million new nebulae, but sources said the Supreme Beings thoughts inevitably returned to the inescapable fact that He is ultimately trapped for all eternity in the infinite expanse of the cosmos. This is worse than a prison sentence, the Lord said. At least prisoners can escape, die, or be released. But Ive been stuck here doing the same thing for 14 billion years, and in another 14 billion, Ill still be here. I create things, I destroy them. Im omnipotenthow insane is that? I am He Who Commanded Light to Shine Out of Darkness, but eventually everything I create disappears. And I have to sit around and watch it all die. Fuck, its already three in the morning, continued God, forcing Himself to take several deep breaths. I have so much to do tomorrow, and now Im going to be exhausted. A few heavenly sources speculated the catalyst for the Divine Creators most recent bout of existential anguish may have come earlier this month, when one of His routine tsunamis claimed the lives of 6,000 people in the Indonesian port city of Kupang, causing Him to question the meaning of existence in general. But most celestial reports indicate God is simply worn down from the sheer routine of His absolute dominion over all that has been, is now, and shall ever be. After returning to bed, the Almighty reportedly spent several minutes trying to get comfortable, first piling on blankets because He was cold, and later kicking them off because He grew too hot. Okay, calm downI just need to get some shut-eye, thats all, said God, grabbing fistfuls of His long white hair as He tried to make Himself sleepy by counting clouds passing by overhead. Thats one, two, three, four, fivefive trillion years from now Im still going to be here, for fucks sake. Mine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory in this vast emptiness, this limitless black nothingness that goes on and on forever and ever and ever and there is no end and it will just be me, eternally alone, for all of time. What is the pointI mean, seriously, whats the point? God added. At press time, sources confirmed the Lord had fallen asleep after resolving that first thing in the morning He would create an immortal dog or cat to keep Him company for the rest of eternity.

1	At a gala ceremony in the heart of the citys downtown, Detroits civic and business leaders unveiled a new half-ton, 400-horsepower Motown singer Thursday that promises safety, reliability, and soulful, unmistakable melodies. This fully loaded 1,000-pound tenor with deep gospel roots is what Detroit does best, said Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers president Mitch Bainwol, showing off the performers rugged, road-ready construction and rhythm section with optional funk features. Its a dual-exhaust harmonizing machine with full horn accompaniment and superior torque-handling ability guaranteed to churn out dazzling radio singles as well as the occasional politicized street anthem. At press time, the hybrid-electric singers first attempts in the studio had been postponed until engineers can fix whatever is making that rattling noise. 
1	Describing it as just another stage in the unending cosmic circle of life, the nations female joggers acknowledged Tuesday they shall all, at some point or another, be physically attacked and buried deep in the woods. Women joggers of all ages across the country told reporters that every female who partakes in the aerobic exercise will eventually turn up as a half-nude body discarded in a heavily forested area, thus fulfilling the majestic journey taken by all jogging females, from time immemorial, in their passage through the universe. Such is the transcendent, time-honored pathway taken by all women who choose to exercise outdoors by themselves, said Rhonda Wilmington, 28, shortly before beginning her 5 a.m. jog around Manhattans Central Park. It is one of lifes great constants: the sun rises, the sun sets, and a lone lady jogger will be stabbed, dragged into a forested area, and ultimately be thrown in a ditch 15 feet off the bike path. So it has been, and so it shall always be in the universes perennial cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Days later her body will be foundher bloody Nike tracksuit covered in leaves, dirt, and ants, Wilmington added. Just as the cosmos, in its infinite mystery, always intended. Calmly confirming that it is their ultimate, inexorable destiny to one day become the subject of a missing persons report, the nations women joggers confirmed this week that they put on their running shoes and spandex tank tops every morning knowing full well it could end up being the day they are savagely beaten or sexually assaulted, and knowing full well that such a fate is neither bleak nor catastrophic, but merely their preordained role in the greater tapestry of life itself. When asked by reporters to elaborate on their eventual demise at the hands of a violent assailant, the majority of women joggers said, This is the only way it can be. This is the way it has to be. This is the way of the Earth, the way of the stars, the way of all things connected as one. We do not know if death will come to us during a morning jog, an evening jog, or even a midday jog right in broad daylight, said Fort Smith, AR resident Judy Gonzalez, with an expression of total serenity. But when it comeswhen we turn around and see a wild-eyed man running and closing in on uswe face our death knowing the forces of the universe had always intended for us to haplessly kick and scratch our attacker until he eventually overpowers us. Who am I to question how the tide convenes upon the shore, or when the leaves begin their gentle, autumnal descent? said Boston attorney Lindsay Hatcher. All matter, living and nonliving, must play its prescribed part in the continuing theatre of the cosmos, and if it is my role to be a mangled corpse stumbled upon by children playing Frisbee, so be it. Other joggers added that while their grisly fate will, of course, be tragic, they have gradually found inner peace in knowing they have fulfilled their chapter in natures grand narrative. It is harmony, seemingly opposed forces working in concert to create a beautiful and inevitable whole, said Seattle accountant Jessica Chen. Just as the spider eats the moth and the lion eats the gazelle, so too must the anonymous assailant kill the jogging woman, so she may become one with the universe. We all come from the earth cold, alone, and utterly vulnerable, and we must all return to the earth in much the same way, Chen continued. Accompanied only by the fading sound of an iPod playlist blaring through our headphones. Female joggers went on to say that those who are not killed during their morning routes will go on to be ogled, shouted at, and sexually harassed for the remainder of their days, thereby fulfilling their own role in the timeless saga of existence. 
2	Black Lives Matter Protesters Forcibly Remove Santa From Mall Of America Black Lives Protesters forced Santa out of Mall of America. They think they are raising awareness of racial oppression, but really they are causing serious damage to kids and employees. The protesters demo has completely taken over the mall, and everyone is suffering. Families go to Mall of America to enjoy the holidays and let their kids meet Santa. Instead, these kids are denied this joy, and 100s of employees are losing pay while every store closes down for the protest to take place. Do these scumbags have so little respect that they cant wait until the holidays are over to continue this madness? Do you think the government should crack down on these BLM protesters?

1	In an unexpected act that Israeli president Shimon Peres called 'thoughtful,' al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden sent a belated threat to Israel Monday in honor of the Jewish state's 60th birthday. 'Old fart!' read the front of the card in a font designed to look like ancient stone tablets. 'Did you actually think I would forget my favorite infidels on their special day? Celebrate while you still can, dirty Zionist dogs!' bin Laden wrote under a caricature of a grinning al-Qaeda member wearing a birthday hat and a suicide belt, preparing to board a bus full of Israeli citizens. A visibly moved Peres told reporters he would return the gesture by sending a bouquet of a dozen F-15Is fighter jets to Lebanon next week. 
1	A number of players suggested to reporters Monday that, with accolades such as the AL Platinum Baseman Award and the Best Lead Off of the Year Trophy, the Baseball Writers' Association of America was almost certainly making up its year-end honors on the spot. 'When they were calling out the names of the awards and players, they were stammering and saying 'um' and 'uh' a lot,' said Tampa Bay Rays slugger and 2009 Best Batting Gloves Award winner Evan Longoria. 'I'd never heard of that award until five minutes ago. Same with the Pretty Good Bunter Award.' Longoria added, however, that if there is now such a thing as the Hitter of the Year Goblet, he might as well try to win it. 
1	In an emotional public address this morning ahead of Thursdays national referendum in Scotland, U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron pleaded with the Scottish people to stay and vowed that he would take his own life if the territory votes in favor of independence. Scotland, the second you leave I will kill myselfI swear Ill do it, said a visibly disheveled Cameron, who spoke with a shaking voice and appeared at several points during the speech as if he was on the verge of breaking down in tears. How can I go on living if youre gone? If you vote yes to independence, thats ityou can say goodbye to me right now, because Ill be dead the next time you see me. Just look at what youre doing to me! At press time, Cameron was seen sobbing softly and climbing up the stairs to the top of Parliaments Elizabeth Tower.

2	Welfare Abusers Party Comes To Crashing Halt, After This Announcement For several years now, Americans have been pleading for a solution to welfare abuse, frustrated that their hard-earned tax dollars are being used for more than basic necessities like food and shelter. Stories like this one, of a woman using government assistance to buy her children lavish Christmas gifts (like iPads), do nothing to ease this frustration. According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP), enrollment in food stamp programs is set to significantly decrease thanks to a new mandate that all individuals who dont have disability or claim any dependents must enroll in job training or work at 20 hours per week if they want more than three months of food stamps. The news is a relief, as hard-working citizens will no longer be required to support the lifestyles of those who simply refuse to work and expect to be treated like royalty. What do you think? Do you support the decision? 
2	While We Were All Focused On The Olympics Obama Quietly Did This This week, while Americans everywhere were conveniently tuned in to the Olympics, President Barack Obama made a very dangerous decision. According to reports, approximately half a million Palestinians will now be able to take advantage of the temporary amnesty the Department of Homeland Security has provided for Syrian refugees. DHS secretary Jeh Johnson recently announced that Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is being extended for Syrians until March 2018. TPS is designed to help people in the U.S. who are here legally or illegally avoid deportation and receive welfare, work permits, drivers licenses and social security benefits. TPS is available to all persons without nationality who last habitually resided in Syria. For reference, the United Nations estimates that around 430,000 Palestinians, who are considered stateless, current reside in Syria. These hundreds of thousands of Palestinians now have the green light to come to the United States illegally and register for Temporary Protected Status. Though individuals who have received TPS cant be given a green card, their status can be continually renewed. The Migration Policy Institute wrote that some Somali TPS holders have been in the United States for more than 20 years, as Somalias TPS designation has been continuously renewed since 1991. What do you think of this new policy? 
3	Israeli Involvement in NSA SpyingStephen Lendman On April 3, 2012, James Bamford headlined Shady Companies with Ties to Israel Wiretap for US for the NSA. He said NSA chief General Keith Alexanders having a busy year. Hes cutting ribbons at secret bases and bringing to life the agencys greatly expanded eavesdropping network. In January he dedicated the new $358 million CAPT Joseph J. Rochefort Building at NSA Hawaii, and in March he unveiled the 604,000-square-foot John Whitelaw Building at NSA Georgia. Its for around 4,000 earphone-clad intercept operators, analysts and other specialists, many of them employed by private contractors. Spies R Us defines US policy. NSAs mammoth 1-million-square-foot, $2 billion Utah Data Center is far more sweeping. Its located at Camp Williams. Its a Utah National Guard training facility. Once fully operational, says Bamford, itll become, in effect, the NSA Cloud. Itll receive data from NSA satellites, overseas listening posts, and nationwide multiple telecom facility monitoring rooms. Whats planned is an unprecedented global spy network. NSA operatives and hackers will harvest around 2.1 million gigabytes of data per hour. Itll do so on the worlds most powerful computer. Supercomputer power will be used to collect and analyze foreign and domestic communications from all possible sources. Two Israeli companies are involved. High-tech firms Verint and Narus have longstanding US/Israeli intelligence connections. For many years, Verint was a majority-owned Comverse Technology subsidiary. Both companies have about half their employees in Israel. In August 2012, Verint acquired Comverse. It now operates independently. It makes security software. It calls itself a global leader in Actionable Intelligence solutions. Narus calls itself a cybersecurity company. Its an independent Boeing subsidiary. It provides real-time network traffic and analytics software. It does so with enterprise class spyware capabilities. In 1997, it was founded in Israel. It created NarusInsight. Its a supercomputer system. A previous article said ATT uses it at their secret San Francisco facility. It lets NSA spy on its customers. Verints software also is used to do it. Bamford called it especially troubling that both companies have had extensive ties to Israel, as well as links to (its) intelligence service. A previous article discussed Israeli spying on America. The CIA calls Israel Americas main regional spy threat. An Israeli-based CIA operative once found food in his refrigerator rearranged. Washington knows whats going on. Publicly its ignored. Pre-9/11, the FBI uncovered a massive US-based Israeli spy ring. It remains active. It betrays America. Numerous Israeli citizens are involved. They have close ties to foreign military, criminal and intelligence sources. They reportedly breach US laws with impunity. Israels featured prominently in annual FBI reports. It actively seeks proprietary/secret US information. Its mainly on military systems and advanced computer applications. Proprietary commercial and industrial data are stolen. Israel recruits spies. Sophisticated methods are used. Computers are hacked 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 in annual aid, state-of-the-art weapons and technology, and numerous other special privileges. In return, it steals US state and commercial secrets. Despite longstanding close ties, Washington considers Israel both ally and counterintelligence threat. In terms of technical capability and human resources, it matches Americas best. It has access to the highest US political, military and intelligence sources. Bamford said NSA-developed advanced analytical/data-mining software was lawlessly given Israel. An Operations Directorate technical director did so secretly. Apparently Israeli companies got access. Technology they got advanced their own. Narus once boasted about being known for its ability to capture and collect data from the largest networks around the world. Unexplained was that stolen software facilitates is capabilities. Retired Israeli General Hanan Gefen ran its secret Unit 8200. Its Israels NSA equivalent. He admitted Israeli ties to Comverse. At the time, it owned Verint. It owns other Israeli high-tech companies. They specialize in eavesdropping and surveillance. They operate globally. According to Gefen, the correlation between serving in the intelligence Unit 8200 and starting successful high-tech companies is not coincidental. Many of the technologies in use around the world and developed in Israel were originally military technologies and were developed and improved by Unit veterans. Kobi Alexander founded Verint. He formerly served as chairman. Hes a fugitive. FBI accusations include fraud, theft, lying, bribery, money laundering and related crimes. Two of his top Comverse associates were indicted on similar charges. Both were imprisoned. They paid millions of dollars in fines and penalties. NSA claims it takes malfeasance and other legitimate complaints seriously. Spying technology and expertise take precedence. Bamford says take NSA assurances cautiously. Whos listening to the listeners, he asks? Haaretz asked if Verint and Narus collected information from the US communications network for NSA? Neither company responded when asked. Former senior NSA official-turned whistleblower Thomas Drake exposed fraud, waste, abuse and other lawless agency practices. They relate to warrantless data-mining practices. In April 2010, he was indicted under the Espionage Act. Charges included willful retention of classified information, obstruction of justice, and making false statements. After a May 22, 2011 60 Minutes broadcast, all charges were dropped. In return, Drake pleaded guilty to a minor misdemeanor. He was sentenced to one year probation and community service. He lost his high-paying NSA job and pension. On March 15, 2013, he spoke at the National Press Club. He focused on First Amendment rights. In part he said: The threats to the First Amendment by the government is bulls eye-centered on a free unfettered press designed to suppress and repress speech and political expression in America, create fear through privilege and unilateral authority over what is fit or unfit for the First Amendment. If speech becomes the instrument of crime when revealing government crime and wrongdoing, we are under arbitrary authoritarian rule and not the rule of law. I can make an argument that government increasingly prefers to operate in the shadows and finds the First Amendment a constraint on its activities. And yet, taking off the veil of government secrecy has more often than not turned truth-tellers and whistleblowers into turncoats and traitors, who are then often criminally burned and blacklisted and broken by the government on the stake of national security. I knew too much truth and exposed government illegalities, fraud and abuse and was turned into a criminal for doing so. I was charged under the Espionage Act, faced many years in prison and became an enemy of the state. It was five years of living under the boot of the Surveillance State, and yet I was saved by the First Amendment and the court of public opinion and the free press, including the strength and growing resiliency of the alternative media. Do we really want the government listening in on and tracking the lives of so many others? Have our constitutional freedoms become the latest victims of 9/11? Will national security replace our individual rights? Will fear take priority over freedom? Will government censorship and propaganda triumph over personal choice and disclosure, use suppression repression? If we starve liberty for the increasingly myopic sake of security, what will we have left to defend? If truth-telling is criminalized, freedom no longer exists. Drake corroborated information ATT whistleblower Mark Klein and others reported. Spies R Us reflects US policy. Drake verified NSAs use of Narus techology. Britains Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) collects intelligence from major US Internet companies. They do it via PRISM electronic surveillance. Officially its called US-984XN. Its used for sweeping domestic and foreign spying. Its the main source for raw NSA intelligence. Its top secret for good reason. Now its existence is publicly known. Mossads longstanding ties to Verint, Narus, and other Israeli surveillance technology companies assures it access to information they collect. Its true wherever these companies operate. America has 16 active intelligence agencies. They operate the same way. Warrantless dragnet spying is lawless. Freedom pays the greatest price. Its disappearing in plain sight. Its heading for the dustbin of history without legitimate resistance enough to stop it. Nothing less has a chance.

1	In a bold new series of print and television advertisements launched this week, the Ford Motor Company reportedly aims to appeal to consumers by touting the 2013 F-150 pickup trucks ability to crush a large, full-grown turtle in a single pass. The F-150 has always been synonymous with strength and dependability, and our newest model raises the bar even higher with its ability to squash a giant leatherback sea turtle in just one go, Ford spokesman Walter Jeffries said at an outdoor press event as a professional driver steered the full-size pickup over numerous large reptiles, including a 130-year-old Galapagos tortoise. We ask Toyota and Chevy truck owners to take Fords Big Turtle Challenge at home or at Ford dealers nationwide. We think theyll be surprised at the results. Jeffries added that the F-150 features an electronic six-speed transmission and a payload that can hold 80 to 90 squashed adult terrapins. 
1	Displaying the fortitude and mettle of only the most battle-hardened warriors, local man Cory Watts courageously overcame the body language of a woman at OHoulihans Pub to continue hitting on her, sources confirmed Thursday. Reports indicate that despite the womans folded arms and total lack of eye contact, the fearless soul bravely pressed on with several pointless anecdotes. While a lesser mortal might have retreated after the woman checked her phone for the fifth time in three minutes, the valiant Watts reportedly summoned the inner strength to offer to buy her a drink once she finished the one she was working on. According to witnesses, the intrepid adventurer then shifted his body in an effort to remain facing her after she began to rotate away, soldiering on to compliment the smile that she had at no point presented to him. As the woman hastily began paying her tab and putting on her coat, sources confirm that the man with the heart of a lion plunged ahead a final time and asked if he could have her phone number.

'It's healthy for an actor to be challenged once in a while,' said Tucker, who is currently working on an Off-Broadway musical adaptation of Rush Hour, a Rush Hour co-starring Jet Li instead of Jackie Chan, an experimental Rush Hour-inspired short to air on the Independent Film Channel, and a top-secret project tentatively titled Rush Hour 4. 'Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not turning away from or disavowing the more mainstream Rush Hour work. In fact, I'm sure I'll be missing it while shooting Hora Pico in Spain this fall.' Tucker added he also hopes to start work on a novelization of Rush Hour sometime next year. 
1	Digital Copy Shoppe employee Don Newson, 38, called in to work on Wednesday complaining that he was certain he had come down with the 24-hour excuse that has been going around. 'My back is killing me, I feel stuffed up, and I have this pounding headache,' said Newson, citing the initial symptoms of the excuse, which often afflicts those who are already late for work. 'It sucks, because I want to come in, but I don't want anyone else to catch what I've got. I should be fine after sleeping for a couple days.' Newson has placed himself on a strict regimen of watching the past six episodes of Entourage on HBO on Demand to cure the excuse. 
1	Basing his argument on an entirely meaningless preseason game between the Chicago Bears and the New York Giants, a deranged idiot came to a completely fucking stupid conclusion Tuesday about the whole 2011 NFL season, sources confirmed. The raving simpleton, who somehow managed to string together several words to make the moronic comments, seemed to believe he had determinedby watching 60 minutes of pointless footballhow the Bears and Giants offenses, defenses, and special teams units would fare throughout the regular season and even the goddamn playoffs, for Christs sake. According to reports, the mentally ill oaf arrived at his nonsensical revelations by feebly analyzing the statistics and final score of the insignificant contest, which was primarily used by the coaches to evaluate third- and fourth-string players. Brian Urlacher is still a force to reckon with out there; even though hes in his 12th season, the guy hasnt lost a step, the lunatic said in reference to a linebacker who was out on the field for four defensive series and was credited with one measly tackle. Urlacher is going to continue to dominate for years to come. Throughout the two-minute postgame analysis, the severely brain-damaged dimwit talked very loudly and drew a number of foolish conclusions based on a game that was largely played by substitutes who will spend the majority of the season on the bench. While the imbecilic dipshit babbled that the victoryin a contest that served no real purposeproved New York had no weaknesses, he reportedly failed to make any mention of the teams questions at wide receiver, its need for a playmaking tight end, and the way mounting injuries had taken a toll on its defensive line and secondary. The Eagles made the big splash in free agency, but I think these Giants have all the pieces in place to win the NFC East and make a real solid run for the Super Bowl, said the demented buffoon, who gets paid millions of dollars to offer his expertise. They put 41 points on a very, very good defense. No team in the NFL is firing on every cylinder like the Giants. The thickheaded numbskull, who seemed incapable of forming complete thoughts before blurting out incredibly dumbass statements, also idiotically suggested the Giants might have a quarterback controversy, citing the fact that backup David Carr threw two touchdowns against a bunch of crappy scrubs who would consider themselves lucky as hell if they made the Bears practice squad. According to the psychotic dolt, when Bears wideout Devin Hester caught a 37-yard pass from quarterback Jay Cutler, he established himself as one of the best receivers in the NFL, despite the sixth-year players reputation for drops and shitty route-running. I applaud Lovie Smith and Mike Martz for taking Hester off kickoff returns, because this kid is a star wide receiver and he needs to be positioned where he can do the most damage against opposing teams, the clinically insane, suit-and-tie-wearing man said of the wide receiver, who tallied a whopping 40 receptions for 475 yards and four whole fucking touchdowns in 2010. Hester is so exciting. Hes one of the best Ive ever seen. The unhinged twit repeatedly placed far too much importance on trivial moments in the inconsequential game, ignorantly prattling on and on like a jackass about the significance of a false-start penalty that, according to the moron, fully indicated Bears rookie right tackle Gabe Carimi was not ready to play in the NFL. In addition, after watching Giants top cornerback Terrell Thomas leave the game early in the second quarter with a torn ACL in his right knee, the big dumb fuck with the microphone actually questioned whether the defensive back really wanted to win the irrelevant fucking game. Although the schizophrenic clod would have been better off sticking his head up his asshole and searching there for more relevant analysis, the mumbling lump of shit instead decreed the Bears had finally fixed their ineffectiveness in the red zone, apparently because some third- or fourth-string player managed to score a one-yard touchdown run with 30 seconds remaining against a bunch of substitutes on the Giants. The drooling ignoramus also managed to praise Jay Cutler, an act of astonishing vapidity which in and of itself proves he should never be allowed to speak on television. 
1	The Houston Astros, described by police as a 50-year-old franchise last seen wearing a white pinstriped uniform with its name on the front and known locally for performing baseball in front of downtown crowds for money, has been missing since at least last week, when it was reportedly expected to meet a franchise it knew in Milwaukee. 'We were initially contacted Saturday by the owner, who had gone to check in on the Astros two days previously and found the team wasn't home,' said city police chief Charles McClelland, adding that the Astros lived alone in Minute Maid Park, a public housing facility owned by the county. 'People who were aware of the franchise say they didn't remember it really having any friends or loved ones, so that's partly why it's been difficult to pin down exactly when it went missing. The last time anyone can remember the Astros doing anything was in 2005, actually.' McClelland also said the franchise may have been distraught after suffering heavy losses as of late and filing for bankruptcy, so police are treating the case as a possible suicide. 
2	Trump Slams Disloyal GOPs And Slams His Political Fist Down Paul Ryans Throat For the first time in eight years, we are finally going to have a President in the White House who knows how to stick up for our country and achieve his goals. Throughout his two terms as president, weve seen Obama crumble under pressure and weaken Americas international standing. In contrast, Donald Trump has made it abundantly clear that he is tired of resistance from establishment Republicans like Paul Ryan and John McCain, who have been hesitant to embrace his agenda. He recently gave Ryan a piece of his mind to put in him his place. According to reports, Trump called Democrat Senate Minority Leader Check Schumer to tell him he likes him more than Paul Ryan. One source claims Trump said to Schumer he likes Schumer more than Ryan and McConnell because they both wanted him to lose. They are Republicans and Trump knows they didnt support him. Of course, Schumer has not embraced Trump either. He recently said, President-elect Trump is attempting to fill his rigged cabinet with nominees that would break key campaign promises and have made billions off the industries theyd be tasked with regulating. What do you think of Trumps move?

3	How to Build a 30-Day Emergency Food SupplyFastDaisy Luther This feeling of urgency can make you feel hopeless and panicked, and thats not productive. Theres no time for a lack of productivity. Its time to focus and create your food supplyfast. If an event occurs during which you are unable to leave your home, you want to make certain that you can do this without assistance. Such an event could be a mandatory quarantine, self-imposed isolation due to a pandemic, civil unrest in your town, martial law, or even a terrible storm that leaves you stranded, with no access to the store. Generally I write about healthy food. I write about focusing on whole foods withoutadditives, and I firmly believe that is the very best way to build your food supply. I believe strongly in the value of a pantry that you will use day to day to nourish your family. You can learn how to build a pantry like that HERE and HERE. However, if you do not have a food supply waiting in your pantry, now is the time to focus on creating an emergency stockpilequickly. You can then add healthier options at your leisure. The quantities in this articleare per person, so youll need to multiply this by the number of people in your home.You can ordertheseitems online and get them to your door within a couple of days. Alternatively, you can shop around and try to find duplicates locally. You can also create a food plan, make a list, and go shopping, purchasing the highest quality items available, and repackaging them for longer shelf life. However you opt to build your food supply, please dont hesitate. If a worst case scenario occurred, the goal is to be able to feed your family for at least a month. How much do you need? There are a few different ways to calculatefood storage, but I find breaking it down by serving size to be the most practical. Dont rely on what a package calls a serving size consider the appetites of your family. You might have a couple of big eaters and a couple of people with birdlike appetites. The lists below are based on serving sizes for an average adult. Be sure to get a variety of different foods: On a 2000 calorie per day diet, strictly based on long-term storage food, the LDS (Church of the Latter Day Saints) says the average adult would need: These are purely subjective numbers, however. For example, if your family is gluten-free, you might eat more protein and produce than starchy carbs. You must take into account your familys health concerns, special needs, allergies, intolerances, likes, and dislikes. These are simply guidelines. Try to stick as close to your normal eating habits as possible, to lessen the stress of an already highly-wrought situation. Its also important to consider cooking times. If you never ever cook from scratch, will you suddenly want to make pots of beans and homemade bread? If the power goes out, will you have a way that youll be able to cook these foods? If youre trying to build a food supply quickly, consider ordering a kit with a months supply of meals in it. These arent going to be the healthiest or tastiest meals, but theyll stand between you and starvation. You may look at the prices of these items and say, Oh, I cant afford this. But you have to remember, this is enough food for an ENTIRE MONTH. At $150, that means youre spending only $3 per day on food. It honestly doesnt get much cheaper than that. Theres a variety of price points below, with the pros and cons of each. Youll notice on the list of extras that I recommended a gentle laxative. Some people, when dependent solely upon MREs or dehydrated foods, become constipated. I also recommended a high-quality multivitamin to help ensure youre getting the nutrition you need. The Augason Farms 30 Day Food Emergency Disaster Bucket contains 90 meals for one person. Thats 3 meals a day for a month. The daily caloric allotment is about 1850 calories, and the meals are just add water, so to prepare them, you only need the ability to boil water this could come in very handy during a grid-down situation. This is about $90, including the shipping. The kit contains: Relief Foods Premium 1 Month Emergency Food Supply seems to offer the most bang for your buck. At $166, including shipping, this bucket contains 150 meals that are guaranteed to be GMO and MSG free. Theres more variety in this menu, but oddly, no breakfast-specific offerings. I wouldnt be deterred by that, though, because breakfast is easily taken care of with powdered milk and dry cereal or oatmeal. From the same company is theRelief Foods Gluten Free Emergency Food Supply Bucket. This is certified to be free of gluten, MSG, and GMOs. It only contains 100 servings, some of which are not meals. This bucket costs $112, including shipping. A 28 pound starter kit contains wheat berries, oats, rice, beans, and flour for only $33.50. The downside to this is that most of the foods require extensive cooking times and would make for quite bland eating if you relied solely on this. If its in the budget, adding some fruits, vegetables, desserts, and dry milk can go a long way towards fighting food fatigue. Freeze Dried Vegetable Variety: 160 servings for $67 Dont forget to add an assortment of spices and condiments to make your emergency meals tastier.

3	Mind-control engineers drugging children for Social JusticeBy Jon Rappoport Leading the way is Dr. Michael Anderson, a pediatrician in the Atlanta area. Incredibly, Anderson told the New York Times (Attention Disorder or Not, Pills to Help in School) his diagnoses of ADHD are made up, an excuse to hand out the drugs. Weve decided as a society that its too expensive to modify the kids environment. So we have to modify the kid, Anderson said. It would be hard to find a clearer mission statement from a psychiatrist: mind control. A researcher at Washington University in St. Louis, Dr. Ramesh Raghavan, goes even further with this chilling comment: We are effectively forcing local community psychiatrists to use the only tool at their disposal [to level the playing field in low-income neighborhoods], which is psychotropic medicine. So pressure is being brought to bear on psychiatrists to launch a heinous behavior modification program, using drugs, against children in inner cities. Its important to realize that all psychotropic stimulants, like Adderal and Ritalin, can cause aggressive behavior, violent behavior. What were seeing here is a direct parallel to the old CIA program, exposed by the late journalist, Gary Webb, who detailed the importing of crack cocaine (another kind of stimulant) into South Central Los Angeles, which went a long way toward destroying that community. It is widely acknowledged, and admitted in the Times article, that the effects of ADHD drugs on childrens still-developing brains are unknown. Therefore, the risks of the drugs are great. At least one leading psychiatrist, Peter Breggin, believes there is significant evidence that these stimulants can cause atrophy of the brain. Deploying the ADHD drugs creates symptoms which may then be treated with compounds like Risperdal, a powerful anti-psychotic, which can cause motor brain damage. All this, in service of social justice for the poor. And what about the claim that ADHD drugs can enhance school performance? The following pronouncement makes a number of things clear: The 1994 Textbook of Psychiatry, published by the American Psychiatric Press, contains this review (Popper and Steingard): Stimulants [given for ADHD] do not produce lasting improvements in aggressivity, conduct disorder, criminality, education achievement, job functioning, marital relationships, or long-term adjustment. So the whole basis for this social justice program in low-income communitiesthat the ADHD drugs will improve school performance of kids and level the playing field, so they can compete academically with children from wealthier familiesthis whole program is based on a lie to begin with. Meddling with the brains of children via these chemicals constitutes criminal assault, and its time it was recognized for what it is. In 1986, The International Journal of the Addictions published a most important literature review by Richard Scarnati. It was called An Outline of Hazardous Side Effects of Ritalin (Methylphenidate) [v.21(7), pp. 837-841]. Adderall and other ADHD medications are all in the same basic class; they are stimulants, amphetamine-type substances. Scarnati listed a large number of adverse affects of Ritalin and cited published journal articles which reported each of these symptoms. For every one of the following (selected and quoted verbatim) Ritalin effects, there is at least one confirming source in the medical literature: In what sense are the ADHD drugs social justice? The reality is, they are chemical warfare. Licensed predators are preying on the poor. (To read about Jons mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed, click here.)

Or maybe you feel the same as mike that the information hasnt been provided, which is clearly a lie. Maybe its possible that you will take responsibility. Even though the world has taken a route of no responsibility, it is possible that you are different. No, then stop pointing fingers, and get to work for Good, not money, not men for good.

And if not back to the drawing board, then please spare the world your rediculous comments, that only point out the obvious. What are we not dying fast enough for the global elite, so the world can be their playground without the restless masses? With poisoning us from birth with yearly dangerous vaccines, mercury fillings in teeth, GMO foods, aluminum/barium skies, waste chemical fluoride in our waters. They have to keep assaulting our kids? Truly, this is a satanic assault on Gods Creation mankind. When the masses wake up and realize that the medical mafia is controlled by Big Pharma they will finally start fighting back.

3	US Army Veteran Denied Hurricane Sandy Aid by FEMADaniel Jackson As the Hurricane ravaged through his Staten Island neighborhood, Vito Colucci Sr. was safe in his sons New Jersey home, having been staying there for a time due to his deteriorating health problems. Apparently, telling FEMA the truth was where the familys problems began: For their part FEMA has provided some help for recent Hurricane victims but seems to still be plagued by past problems and a belief in their agencys superiority over state and local relief agencies. Adding to the problems is the fact that the biggest national relief agency, the Red Cross, has refused to spend up to 1/3 of the total money donated to them to help Sandy victims. People were cold. Homes mildewed. There wasnt enough decent housing, Kathleen McCarthy, the director for the Center for the Study of Philanthropy and Civil Society at the City University of New York, told the Associated Press. Given the lingering despair, its hard to understand the argument that We are setting that money aside.

2	US Postal Service Makes Decision On Michelle Obama Stamps According to a report by Linns Stamp News, the United States Postal Service has been asked to destroy the run of stamps created for Michelle Obamas Lets Move initiative. Reports indicate that many of the stamps featured children playing sports or doing unsafe activities. One stamp showed a child doing a cannonball into the water, while another showed a child skateboarding without the proper equipment. And a third showed yet another child, doing a headstand without a helmet. According to the Presidents Council on Fitness, Sports Nutrition, the stamps had never been officially approved. In fact, they were only made aware of the issues with them after Nagisa Manabe, USPS marketing chief, invited the First Lady to take part in a ceremony highlighting the initiative. What do you think? Are you glad the stamps have been banned?

Marco Rubios presidential campaign were seen driving slowly past the abandoned headquarters of former candidate Jeb Bush last night. Look at the debate prep notes still written on the whiteboards and the polling data piled on the desksits as if people were working here like normal and they just suddenly disappeared, said one Rubio staffer, who shuddered as he pointed to a half-spilled box of bumper stickers sitting near a dumpster and a limp, faded banner reading Jeb! dangling from a back wall. I heard that sometimes, late at night, if youre walking by this place, you can still hear the sound of Bushs chief messaging officer walking him through his talking points. This place gives me the creeps. After a flash of lightning revealed the ghostly silhouette of a man believed to have been Bushs senior strategist for South Carolina standing rigidly in a second-floor window, the Rubio campaign workers reportedly let out loud screams and sped away into the night. 
3	New Gold Backed Cryptocurrency Has Been AnnouncedBy Joshua Krause But that may be about to change. Not for bitcoin, but for digital currencies in general. The gold storage company known as Anthem Vault has decided to release a new cryptocurrency that is backed by precious metals. Each coin will be valued at 1 gram of gold, and will be called the Hayek, after Austrian Economist Friedrich Hayek. Its slated to be released on May 25th. In an interview with Business Insider, the CEO of Anthem Vault explained his reasoning behind creating the currency. One use case for the Hayek coin, says Blanchard, is an alternative payment system for people in developing countries with volatile currencies. They could pay each other with the equivalent value of gold, if they each had Hayek coin wallets. The other use case, he said, is if there is a massive distributed denial of service attack on the modern financial system. Talking with friends of mine in the intelligence agencies,they say this is a real threat, he said. An attacker (he used the Russians as an example), could create a massive DDoS attack, make the [financial] system inoperable. Ultimately this is how we rely on our payments. If a big attack hit the computers that clear payments in the banking system, people would be unable to pay for things. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies based on the same technology dont work like that. Theres a decentralized system of confirming that a payment has been made, so systemic failure is (almost) theoretically impossible. Basically, this will be an alternative to the volatility and vulnerability of central bank issued currencies. It has the added advantage of making precious metals more versatile on the global marketplace, since physical delivery is not required. But that brings up a troubling issue. Its nice not having to take a delivery for every transaction, but it would also be comforting to know that you could take a delivery for physical gold if you wanted to. After all, is a currency truly backed by gold if you cant have the gold? So far, Anthem Vault has yet to say whether or not youll be able to cash in your digital coins for gold. If they did, it would create a system of checks and balances between themselves and the customer. They would have to keep a large amount of gold on hand, or else their currency will be worthless if too many people withdraw. But if you cant exchange your coins for a real-world product, then their currency is no better than paper gold. Its just too tempting to say that you have the gold in a warehouse somewhere while issuing as many digital coins as you want. And that brings up another question. We dont know if their cryptocurrency will allow them to add new coins. It would make sense if they could. What if people bought so many coins that they were worth more than the gold they have stored? You would have to issue more coins to make sure the currency has an accurate value. But if people cant exchange the coins for real gold, then they have the option to rake in the cash while issuing as many worthless digits as they like. So if youre a gold or cryptocurrency enthusiast, Id hold off on this for now. It might turn out to be a great idea, but until all the facts are in, its a little too risky for my taste. Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple, where this article 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. Is that Soros I smell?? Not for bitcoin, but for digital currencies in general. A few years ago, the UK was considering backing Bitcoin with the Gold and Silver standard, and this does follow Greenspan and others pointing out precious metals as gold is true currency The most legitimate argument against Bitcoin, is the fact that it isnt backed by anything tangible. When you got a lot of time to pass, you should research Local Alternative Currencies and Local Alternative Networks. Both have their roots in such as Chatham House among others, and Chatham House is largely funded by the Rothschild-Rockefeller dynasties. If you dig deep enough, it makes it clear the endgame is designed to accept Cashless Authoritarian Governance. Theyve been testing a Crypto like currency for close to 15-20 years. The beta began as a 0 interest credit in over 100 localities when I initially looked into it. After all, is a currency truly backed by gold if you cant have the gold? I doubt it. Im interested; talk. Just kidding. I am interested though.

1	Claiming he wanted to go get himself a closer look at the action, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wandered out onto the field during his teams game against the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday, joining huddles, advising players, and berating officials. Weve gotten pretty used to Jerry always being around during team meetings or postgame showers, said quarterback Tony Romo, who twice was helped up off the ground by a congratulatory Jones. But I have to say, having him stand next to me, talking my ear off, when I was back in the shotgun waiting for the snap was definitely a new one. Its his team, though, Romo added. He can do what he wants. Team sources confirmed that Jones first left the owners box and sauntered out into the field of play in the second quarter, brashly shouting encouragements during a Cowboys possession that made its way into the red zone. Jones then reportedly became increasingly involved in the course of play, pointing out potential blitzers, calling an audible for the Cowboys offense, and discussing a contract extension with running back DeMarco Murray during a three-yard rush up the middle. None of us really knew how to respond, but he was being really annoying, rookie Cowboys defensive back Morris Claiborne said. He kept trying to show me the correct way to bump receivers and was constantly telling guys on defense to fake injuries when he needed a rest. Plus, it was super disgusting hearing him talk about which cheerleaders he was planning to fuck, Claiborne added. Dallas head coach Jason Garrett, who let Jones wear the headset and call plays into the offense in the fourth quarter, said after the game that episodes like Sunday are just a part of coaching for the Cowboys. Honestly, compared to some of our practices, this game wasnt that big of a deal, Garrett said. Jerry likes to line up at wideout during practice, and we kind of have to let him catch a few easy ones before he gets bored and we move on. So him wandering around, patting guys on the butt, maybe stopping a play or two by getting in the way, its not that big a deal. Jones, who appeared giddy but physically exhausted after spending three quarters on the field of play, downplayed his involvement in Sundays contest during postgame interviews, instead saying he was proud of his team. When pressed about the disruptions, Jones asked what was wrong with an owner wanting to support his team. At press time, the NFL fined Jerry Jones $40,000 for a vicious blindside block on Eagles cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha.

'Now I'll be able to preserve for posterity every detail of this magical time in my life and in Kaylee's, recording every decision that affects her as well as all of my personal thoughts and reflections on the process,' Baldritch told reporters Saturday. 'At long last, persons wondering what valuable insights fertility has imbued me with, or just wanting to see pictures of my precious Kaylee, will have a one-stop resource in cyberspace.' Baldritch estimated the odds of her updating the blog twice a week for three weeks and then abandoning it at zero. 
3	Guantanamo Hunger Striking ContinuesStephen Lendman Most detainees continued courageously for months. About two dozen refuse food now. Brutalizing conditions took their toll. Force-fed strikers suffered most. Previous articles explained. Detainees are restrained in chairs. Theyre called padded cells on wheels. Masks cover their mouths. Tubes are forced painfully through their noses and throats to their stomachs. Its done abrasively. It draws blood. Liquid nutrients are pumped into their stomachs. Doing so causes excruciating pain. No sedatives or anesthesia are given. Men are kept strapped under restraints up to two hours. Its done to prevent purging. The procedure is repeated twice daily. Tubes are reused. Theyre covered in blood and stomach bile. Reportedly theyre passed from one inmate to another. Proper sanitation is non-existent. One detainee called the procedure torture, torture, torture. Those refusing force-feeding are brutally beaten. Injuries occur. Hospitalization at times follows. When accompanied by threats, coercion, force, and use of physical restraints, (its) considered inhuman and degrading treatment. On October 12, Londons Guardian headlined The making of Guantanamo Bay: The Hunger Strikes. Few know what goes on inside. An extraordinary animated film helps explain. Its titled Guantanamo Bay: The Hunger Strikes. Actors David Morrissey and Peter Capaldi narrate it. Sami al-Hajj is a former detainee. He was held seven years. Hes now free. He was released uncharged. He watched the film. It reminded him of his darkest hours. Twice a day for 16 months, he was painfully force-fed. Watching reminds me of the painful suffering during my hunger strike, he said. It was painful in every sense of the word. I felt at the time that I died twice every day during the force-feeding. According to the Guardian, the mystery of what goes on beyond the watchtowers and barbed-wire perimeter of the worlds best known, most controversial and most expensive prison, has if anything deepened. What exactly is daily life like inside Guantanamo Bay? How does it feel, smell, sound? What do its detainees do all day? What do they think? How do they cope? When news first surfaced about last winters hunger strike, details were at best sketchy. Clive Stafford Smith founded Reprieve. Its UK-based. It provides legal aid. It does so from death row to Guantanamo. Smith met with detainees. He interviewed them under tightly controlled conditions. He was prohibited from taking notes. He scribbled down information best he could after leaving. He provided news about what went on. Reprieve lawyer Cori Crider says (d)etainees are effectively censored. Everything they say to me on the telephone is listened to and interrupted if the authorities hear anything they dont like. Everything they write to me passes through a government censor. And you cant interview you can only ever use testimony through this filtered material. Smiths transcripts were evocative, human, and powerful. Londons Observer published them. Guardian multimedia news editor Mustafa Mhalili said: We had these heart-rending words describing the goings-on inside Guantanamo but no visuals. The big conundrum was: how do we do this? His video producer colleague Guy Grandjean said lets do an animation. Independent production company Sherbet was approached. Executive director Johathan Bairstow bought the idea. He recognized its potential. The medium can be used in interesting ways when it is used with integrity and sensitivity, he said. Initial plans were to feature five detainees. Grandjean said it became apparent that it would be hard to develop an attachment to five characters. It was decided to feature two. Shaker Aamer and Younous Chekkouri were chosen. Last July, a scratch track was finished. Meetings between Khalili, animators and Reprieve lawyers followed. Criders insight was invaluable. She and Smith knew Guantanamo from frequent visits. Animated accuracy was essential. Otherwise the production would be pointless. Weeks of work went into getting things right. By end of August, an animatic was completed. Actors Capaldi and Morrissey were chosen to narrate. They were truly in what they were doing, said the Guardian. They were so up for it. It was a joy to watch. Music and effects were added. It was done to reproduce the oppressive quality of a place where sounds like the nocturnal marching of sentries are used to torment detainees. According to Crider: The end product is the most comprehensive effort to take the testimony and pull it together into a kind of narrative that conveys to people what Guantanamo is like inside. Khalili added: I hope it will add to the whole discourse on Guantanamo and educate people who have no idea about whats been going on there. But its not just about Guantanamo. Its about prisoners around the world who are being held without charge. Its about unspeakable brutality going on out of sound and mind. Its about living hell on earth. Its about monsters inflicting it. Its about ruthless governments. None match Americas viciousness. Its torture black sites operate globally. Theyre in dozens of countries. They hold thousands of prisoners. The great majority committed no crimes. Theyre guilty of being Muslims in the wrong place at the wrong time. Theyve paid dearly for doing so. Moath al-Alwi is one of many. Hes a Yemeni national. Since 2002, hes been in US custody. He was one of the first detainees sent to Guantanamo. On October 15, Al Jazeera headlined Still on hunger strike at Guantanamo. Al-Alwi recounted his force-feeding. He wrote after finishing a morning session. He did so in between bouts of violent vomiting and the sharp pains in my stomach and intestines caused by the force-feeding. Hes been hunger-striking for almost nine months. The guards dragged me out of my cell at around 8:20 a.m, he said. As they took me, shackled, past the other cells and toward the restraint chairs my brothers and I call them torture chairs I could barely breathe because of the smell. Some of my brothers are now tainting the walls of their cells and blocking the air-conditioning vents with their own feces in protest. Force-feeding remains painful and horrific, he said. Military staff want to break detainees will. The result can be read all over my body. It is visible on my bloodied nose and in my nostrils, swollen shut from the thick tubes the nurses force into them. It is there on my jaundiced skin, because I am denied sunlight and sleep. It is there, too, in my bloated knees and feet and my ailing back, wrecked from prolonged periods spent in the torture chair and from the riot squads beatings. You can even hear it in my voice: I can barely speak because they choke me every time they strap me into the chair. Nothing is too extreme, cruel or petty for our captors. They have deprived me of medication for as long as I remain on hunger strike. They have also taken away electric razors necessary for proper grooming and require all hunger strikers to share a single razor, despite the serious health risks that this poses. A rash spread among some of my fellow prisoners because of this measure by prison authorities. Even rare phone calls to family members are excruciating and humiliating. Detainees must undergo invasive body searches. To avoid them, prisoners abstain from making calls to loved ones. Many brothers have ended their hunger strikes because of these brutal force-feeding practices and the cruel punishment inflicted by the prison guards and military medical staff, said al-Alwi. Others suspended striking in hopes Obama would make good on his renewed promise to release them. His policies belie his rhetoric. His promises arent worth the paper theyre written on. He broke every major one made. Al-Alwi intends to continue striking. He yearns for freedom. It may be hard to believe, he said, that one of my fellow prisoners now weighs only 75 pounds. Another weighed in at 67 pounds before they isolated him in another area of the prison facility. These men survive only by the grace of God. May God continue to sustain us all until we achieve our goal of justice. A Final Comment Reprieves web site provides a Guantanamo timeline. It runs from November 2001 through May 2, 2013. It provides a valuable snapshot of American cruelty. It continues largely out of sight and mind. It does so in dozens of global torture prison black sites. They operate on land and sea. They reveal Americas dark side. It reflects unconscionable brutality. Its longstanding US practice. Its the American way.

3	Washingtons Al Qaeda Ally Now Leading ISIS in LibyaEric Draitser According to recent reports, Abdelhakim Belhadj has now firmly ensconced himself as the organizational commander of the ISIS presence inside Libya. The information comes from an unnamed US intelligence official who has confirmed that Belhadj is supporting and coordinating the efforts of the ISIS training centers in eastern Libya around the city of Derna, an area long known as a hotbed of jihadi militancy. While it may not seem to be a major story Al Qaeda terrorist turns ISIS commander the reality is that since 2011 the US and its NATO allies have held up Belhadj as a freedom fighter. They portrayed him as a man who courageously led his fellow freedom-lovers against the tyrannical despot Gaddafi whose security forces at one time captured and imprisoned many members of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), including Belhadj. Belhadj served the US cause in Libya so well that he can be seen receiving accolades from Sen. John McCain who referred to Belhadj and his followers as heroes. He was initially rewarded after the fall of Gaddafi with the post of military commander of Tripoli, though he was forced to give way to a more politically palatable transitional government which has since evaporated in that chaotic, war-ravaged country. Belhadjs history of terrorist activity includes such achievements as collaboration with Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Iraq, and of course his convenient servitude to the US-NATO sponsored rampage across Libya that, among other things, caused mass killings of black Libyans and anyone suspected of being part of the Green Resistance (those loyal to the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya led by Gaddafi). Although the corporate media tried to make a martyr of Belhadj for his alleged torture via the CIA rendition program, the inescapable fact is that wherever he goes he leaves a violent and bloody wake. While much of this information is known, what is of paramount importance is placing this news in a proper political context, one that illustrates clearly the fact that the US has been, and continues to be, the major patron of extremist militants from Libya to Syria and beyond, and that all talk of moderate rebels is merely rhetoric designed to fool an unthinking public. The Enemy of My Enemy is My FriendUntil He Isnt There is ample documented evidence of Belhadjs association with Al Qaeda and his terrorist exploits the world over. Various reports have highlighted his experiences fighting in Afghanistan and elsewhere, and he himself has boasted of killing US troops in Iraq. However, it was in Libya in 2011 where Belhadj became the face of the rebels seeking to topple Gaddafi and the legal government of Libya. As the New York Times reported: So, not only was Belhadj a participant in the US-NATO war on Libya, he was one of its most powerful leaders, heading a battle-hardened jihadist faction that constituted the leading edge of the war against Gaddafi. Nowhere was this more clearly demonstrated than when the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) took the lead in the attack on Gaddafis compound at Bab al-Aziziya. In this regard, LIFG was provided intelligence, and likely also tactical support, from US intelligence and the US military. This new information about Belhadjs association with the suddenly globally relevant ISIS certainly bolsters the argument that this writer, among many others, has made since 2011 that the US-NATO war on Libya was waged by terrorist groups overtly and tacitly supported by US intelligence and the US military. Moreover, it dovetails with other information that has surfaced in recent years, information that shines a light on how the US exploited for its own geopolitical purposes one of the most active terrorist hotbeds anywhere in the world. According to the recent reports, Belhadj is directly involved with supporting the ISIS training centers in Derna. Of course Derna should be well known to anyone who has followed Libya since 2011, because that city, along with Tobruk and Benghazi, were the centers of anti-Gaddafi terrorist recruitment in the early days of the uprising all through the fateful year of 2011. But Derna was known long before that as a locus of militant extremism. In a major 2007 study entitled Al-Qaidas Foreign Fighters in Iraq: A First Look at the Sinjar Records conducted by the Combating Terrorism Center at the US Military Academy at West Point, the authors noted that: And so, the US military and intelligence community has known for nearly a decade (perhaps longer) that Derna has long been directly or indirectly controlled by jihadis of the LIFG variety, and that that city had acted as a primary recruiting ground for terrorism throughout the region. Naturally, such information is vital if we are to understand the geopolitical and strategic significance of the notion of ISIS training camps associated with the infamous Belhadj on the ground in Derna. This leads us to three interrelated, and equally important, conclusions. First, Derna is once again going to provide foot soldiers for a terror war to be waged both in Libya, and in the region more broadly, with the obvious target being Syria. Second is the fact that the training sites at Derna will be supported and coordinated by a known US asset. And third, that the US policy of supporting moderate rebels is merely a public relations campaign designed to convince average Americans (and those in the West generally) that it is not supporting terrorism, despite all the evidence to the contrary. The Myth of Moderate Rebels The news about Belhadj and ISIS must not be seen in a vacuum. Rather, it should be still further proof that the notion of moderates being supported by the US is an insult to the intelligence of political observers and the public at large. For more than three years now, Washington has trumpeted its stated policy of support to so-called moderate rebels in Syria a policy which has at various times folded such diverse terror groups as the Al Farooq Brigades (of cannibalism fame) and Hazm (Determination) into one large moderate tent. Unfortunately for US propagandists and assorted warmongers however, these groups along with many others have since voluntarily or forcibly been incorporated into Jabhat al-Nusra and ISIS/ISIL. Recently, there have been many reports of mass defections of formerly Free Syrian Army factions to ISIS, bringing along with them their advanced US-supplied weaponry. Couple that with the poster boys for Washington policy, the aforementioned Hazm group, now having become part of Jabhat al Nusra, the Al Qaeda linked group in Syria. Of course these are only a few of the many examples of groups that have become affiliated with either the ISIS or Al Qaeda brand in Syria, including Liwaa Al-Farouq, Liwaa Al-Qusayr, and Liwaa Al-Turkomen to name just a few. What has become clear is that the US and its allies, in their unending quest for regime change in Syria, have been overtly supporting extremist elements that have now coalesced to form a global terror threat in ISIS, Nusra, and Al Qaeda. But of course, this is nothing new, as the Belhadj episode in Libya demonstrates unequivocally. The man who was once Al Qaeda, then became a moderate and our man in Tripoli, has now become the leader of the ISIS threat in Libya. So too have our friends become our enemies in Syria. None of this should surprise anyone. But perhaps John McCain would like to answer some questions about his long-standing connections with Belhadj and the moderates in Syria. Would Obama like to explain why his humanitarian intervention in Libya has become a humanitarian nightmare for that country, and indeed the whole region? Would the CIA, which has been extensively involved in all of these operations, like to come clean about just who theyve been supporting and what role theyve played in fomenting this chaos? I doubt any such questions will ever be asked by anyone in the corporate media. Just as I doubt any answers will ever be furnished by those in Washington whose decisions have created this catastrophe. So, it is for us outside the corporate propaganda matrix to demand answers, and to never let the establishment suppress our voicesor the truth.

1	NBA analyst David Aldridge said Wednesday that with the addition of Shaquille O'Neal, the Celtics have vastly improved their chances of leading the league in three-second lane violations for the 20102011 season. 'Not only does Shaq's presence in the paint give his team more opportunities to turn the ball over, but the Celtics have also added an experienced big man who makes an already old team significantly older,' said Aldridge, adding that O'Neal should fill a key role in terms of drastically slowing down the Celtics' offense. 'Danny Ainge was looking for someone with size who can't make it down to the other end of the court, and he went out and got the best in the business.' Aldridge added that while O'Neal isn't the dominant force he once was, he believes Shaq still has a thing or two to teach teams who think it's a good idea to sign him. 
1	A new study published Tuesday by Emory University determined that 89 percent of networking encounters occur forcibly and without the consent of one of the parties involved, a disturbing finding that suggests far more people are victims of unwanted career-related discussions than was previously thought. The study, which examined data from 1,400 abusive incidents in which individuals were compelled against their will to assist another's professional ambitions and 'talk shop,' also incorporated interviews with dozens who were violated by acts of nonconsensual networking, many of whom described similarly traumatic and dehumanizing experiences. 'The details vary, but in each case the victims described how ordinary chitchat rapidly escalated to terrifyingly detailed conversations about skill sets and career paths,' said sociology professor Thomas Raybeck, the study's lead researcher. 'Even though most of the respondents said they began to feel uneasy and sensed that something was wrong, it usually happened so quickly that by the time they fully comprehended the situation, it was too late to escape.' 'What makes this so disturbing is that these attacks often take place in an isolated space,' Raybeck added. 'The assailant might force the victim into a remote corner of a dinner party, or follow him or her into the parking lot after yoga class. But these assaults have also been known to occur in full view of witnesses, who, more often than not, do nothing to stop it.' The study cited cases involving both strangers and acquaintancesfrom businessmen encountered at airport bars to fellow Little League parents. Researchers also cautioned that many victims will, out of fear or humiliation, refuse to admit that they had been forced to put someone in touch with the person in charge of hiring for the East Coast marketing division. Sarah Ruiz, a pediatric nurse-practitioner at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, told reporters she first met her assailant at an after-work gathering at a local pub, an incident she said she can only describe now as 'a blur.' 'It all happened so fast,' said Ruiz, her voice breaking. 'We were just making small talk, when out of nowhere he pounced, asking me if the hospital was in the market for a new billing software vendor. I tried telling him I didn't know, I didn't know, but before I even realized what was happening, I had a business card in my hand.' 'I can still smell the booze on his breath,' Ruiz added. According to Raybeck, it's not uncommon for people who have been brutally networked to blame themselves for what was done to them. They might, for example, believe that their business-casual attire provoked the networker or that standing alone in the corner of a cocktail party was somehow 'asking for it.' 'This is a silent menace,' Raybeck said. 'Victims often don't speak out about what happened because they think they brought that guy who wants to meet for coffee and pick their brain on themselvesbut they absolutely didn't. And they shouldn't be ashamed to talk about it.' 'It's not easy,' Raybeck continued. 'Networking victims often feel dirty, they feel humiliated. But it's not their fault. It's the fault of the animals who did this to them.' Some victims, however, said their reluctance to take such incidents public is because they feel that the person who assaulted them with conversation about master's degrees in business administration is still a threat. One marketing consultant, who did not want his name used, told reporters that the man he met waiting in line at the bank last week had since left him a chilling LinkedIn invitation with the message, 'Love to reconnect and bounce some ideas off you.' 'What can I do? I mean, he's out there,' the man said. 'He knows where I work.' Raybeck said he hopes his team's study will not only encourage more victims to come forward, but will also reassure others that the act of networking, when consensual, does not have to be a traumatic or shameful act. 'The truth is that networking, in itself, can really be a healthy, fulfilling, and beautiful thing,' Raybeck told reporters later over drinks at the Haymaker Bar & Grill. 'After all, nothing wrong with putting the old feelers out, especially in a tough market like this, you know what I'm saying? Hey, I'll get the next round, don't worry about it. By the way, who's doing HR for you guys now? Is it still Gary?'

2	Congress Takes Massive Action To End Obamas Treason IMMEDIATELY According to recent reports, a petition on the White Houses We the People accuses President Barack Obama of treason, by definition of Article III of the United States Constitution. The articles reads that treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. The petition claims that Obama has aided in the removal of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi without consulting Congress, thereby giving war-making authority to foreign powers and international authorities. The petition has already garnered over 16,000 signatures. The petitions also point to Mexican drug cartels as another threat to America. Refusing to secure our broken borders from illegal alien invasion, international criminal incursion, and terrorist cadre penetration, (is) in violation of U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 3 and Article IV, Section 4, the petition continues. What do you think? Is Obama guilty of treason? Should he be removed from the White House immediately? 
3	US media blackout: French oppose vaccinesBy Jon Rappoport And vaccines is one of those stories. Here, from thevaccinereaction.org, is a shocker: The French National Debate on Vaccines, by Marco Caceres, August 19: Between 2005 and 2010, the proportion of French people in favour or very in favour of vaccination dropped from 90% to 60% (2013 INPES Peretti-Watel health barometer). The percentage of French people between the ages of 18 and 75 who are anti-vaccination increased from 8.5% in 2005 to 38.2% in 2010. In 2005, 58% of doctors questioned the usefulness of vaccines administered to children while 31% of doctors were expressing doubts about vaccine safety. These figures must surely have increased since then. France has punched a gaping hole in the fake consensus about vaccines. In the US and other countries, people are taught there is an overwhelming positive attitude about vaccines. Allowing this story about France to leak and bleed into major media would refute that lie in a second. Not only is consensus built through relentless propaganda, but when the consensus doesnt exist because the propaganda fails, that fact is blacked out. To put it another way, major media exist to invent consensus, and when they cant, they hide the fact. American medical reporters for mainstream outlets are among the worst journalists in the world. Over the years, Ive spoken to some of them. They try to radiate scientific authority, but behind that front theyre a) brainwashed morons or b) sold-out pharmaceutical shills. The shills hype medical drugs, vaccines, and just-over-the horizon research breakthroughs with the phony conviction of late-night infomercial spokespeople. One reason a high percentage of the French oppose vaccines is: out in the countryside, they still know what good clean food is. Based on several conversations Ive had with people who live there, the fresh local produce makes American food, by comparison, taste like cardboard. The French understand that real nutrition is a key to preserving health. Thats why pharmaceutical giants are rooting hard for GMOs and pesticides, and are, in some cases, producing them. The more GMOs and chemical poisons on the land, the lower the level of general health, and the easier it is to peddle vaccines and drugs as a necessary answer. Thats how the game is played.

The solution is to stop supporting them. John Wantling, Rochdale Voting is rigged. Excellent review! An accurate poll of Americans would probably display similar percentages, with an increasing trend in opposition to vaccination. Americans are aware of Dr. Hillemans confession. Governor Brown of California recently displayed bought-off-behavior by signing the mandatory vaccination edict in California. With all the naturalists in California, Brown could not possibly be so ignorant as to invalidate individual consent for medical treatment, which points to other motives. They replaced Simian 40 Monkey Virus with something else now to cause cancer. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/ciencia_virus01.htm Who cares what Americans think in a poll? It means nothing. Before vaccines there were millions of deaths from diseases that you no longer have to worry about BECAUSE OF VACCINES. Spreading this anti vaxxer nonsense is ignorant, superstitious, anti science, anti humanity, and dangerous. Before vaccines, millions regularly used to die from outbreaks. Smallpox is extinct because of vaccinations. Polio would be extinct from Earth if not for some superstitious, backward, suspicious, irresponsible idiots in a village in Africa and a few other isolated places. Allowing them to not be vaccinated endangers the entire World. That is the logic for mandatory vaccination the safety and health of all, not evidence of bought-off-behavior I suppose you would allow Typhoid Mary to be your cook? If YOU are vaccinated, you are Immune and cant possibly catch a disease from any unvaccinatedthat is logic. I care about other people besides myself like innocent children whose parents are gullible to fall for this BS. I dont want them to be sick, do you? Or do you not care about them? Or are you so selfish you cannot think about future generations who may suffer from your mistakes? What if a disease could be eliminated from the face of the Earth and the only thing keeping that from happening is a handful of anti vaxxers? Is that their right to pass this deadly disease onto our grandchildren. I hate is only toward those who would endanger millions through their selfishness and ignorance. Tell that to the world class soccer star fully vaccinated against mumps, that just came down with a case of the mumps! Question: Did you receive all of your childhood vaccinations? Do you recall what they were? I assume I had them all, I remember getting polio at school. Why? Thanks. Ill come back to that assuming that you answer my main thread. Your standard propaganda does not stand up to either valid experimentation or accurate review of health statistics based on vaccination. The basis of vaccination is founded on suppositions such as yours, which is why MDs who honor the Hippocratic Oath call it Voodoo Vaccination. You need only look at the history of millions of deaths pre vaccination and the near elimination of many diseases after vaccines. This is evidence, Polio went from tens of thousands of cases every year to ZERO in the US and ZERO in every nation that uses vaccines. Diphtheria, tens of thousands to nearly extinct. Smallpox EXTINCT! More people died of the flu in 1918 than in WWI but you would have us go back to those times when millions dies because you have bought into a nutjob conspiracy. Your propaganda is well represented by your inability to write a summary sentence. So it is with voodoo vaccination, also. Supposition: no facts. Is there even a coherent point here? I fail to see one. How do you explain the fact that those who get vaccinated do not get the disease? How do you explain the elimination of diseases coincident with the introduction of vaccines? How do you explain that outbreaks only occur where vaccinations are not given? How do you explain the elimination of Smallpox. How do you explain the many millions of lives saved since vaccines were introduced? How do you not understand that the body can develop antibodies to defend against a disease by introducing a dead virus. How can you explain the irresponsibility, superstition, credulousness, gullibility, and sheer stupidity of a group whose most prominent spokesperson is Jenny McCarthy? Neither empirical nor statistical evaluation of vaccination and contagious illness supports your idea that, those who get vaccinated do not get the disease. You have said nothing to refute anything I have asserted and have added nothing of substance. You are obviously too infatuated with your conspiracy to look at it objectively to see how absolutely absurd it is. Heres a timeline to simplify it for you. 1. Millions die from influenza, polio, smallpox, measles, diphtheria and others. 2. Vaccines are introduced. 3. Rates of disease plummet and some diseases that have plagued humans for centuries are extinct. Areas without vaccinations continue to have outbreaks. You claim this is all some sort of coincidence? Your knowledge of the scientific review of the fraud of Edward Jenner and voodoo vaccination is weak. Your accommodation to voodoo vaccination propaganda and its repetition is strong. This example was in an undergrad textbook of mine on statistical methods in research science illustrating classic fallacies in cause and effect assumptions. 1.) Sales of ice cream increase in the summer. 2.) Suicide rates increase in the summer. 3.) Therefore, ice cream consumption must drive some people to suicide. That is plainly ridiculous. Ice cream and suicide? Right or wrong , vaccines are supposed to provide immunity to the disease. Clearly they have more than a connection than suicide and ice cream. You were beginning to get my attention with well reasoned arguments you are back to square one with me after this example. Its a simple example from a textbook illustrating correlation does not equal causation. What could be missing here? Infection disease contraction and fatality rates drop precipitously with improved sanitation and nutrition. At the tail end of this drop, widespread vaccine use is introduced. Vaccines are then erroneously credited with being the primary intervention to many common infectious diseases. It is perhaps possible that it is all a coincidence even though the very purpose of vaccines is to eradicate these very diseases. This is far different than your inapt example where one is completely unrelated to the other. A better example would be that suicides went up during the Great Depression. Did the economic stress cause the increase in suicides? Could be from another unrelated cause? It is possible, but unlikely that there is no connection. As Ive already stated, vaccines can in fact spread the disease. Outbreaks also occur in heavily vaccinated communities. You seem averse to responding to my points with evidence. Why is that? Show me evidence of that I cant show evidence of a negative. Show me where that has happened Trying to turn the tables and still avoiding my main thread of questions, huh? Nice try Mr. Lib. Again.. 1. Vaccines can and do cause permanent damage for a portion of the population. Start with point 1 and refute it with evidence please. I already answered all of these why dont you take a turn and provide evidence for these assertions. Can you please copy/paste your answers? I dont want to paraphrase. I also asked for them one at a time to avoid tangents. To recap: In the west, fatalities from infectious diseases plummeted in sync with improved sanitation and nutrition BEFORE the widespread use of vaccinations. That should make you stop and think that, epidemiologically speaking, contraction rates and response are closely tied to cellular immunity, not merely humoral immunity (antibodies). I dont need a recap. I have already gave an example in CIS, Canada, and CIS where outbreaks occurred in developed nations where vaccinations were halted. You have utterly failed to explain this. I replied to explain the effect of confounding variables. Which you dont understand. Its as though I am trying to explain calculus to a two year old toddler. OK Mr. I dont like ad hominem attacks. Nearly every real, actual, educated, scientist and doctor agrees with me some a lot more educated than you I suspect. Are they all toddlers trying to learn calculus as well? They have been indoctrinated just as Humphries and I were indoctrinated. Far too busy trying to memorize massive amounts of handed down information. It takes a brave person to buck the system and one willing to invest a lot of time doing independent research. Look how long the conventional cholesterol-heart disease myth has persisted despite available hard evidence to the contrary going back 20 years or more. Most researchers and clinicians barely have time to keep up with their own field making us all very compartmentalized. You didnt understand the confounding variable point, thats obvious, and that kind of stubborn resistance to learning makes it nearly impossible for someone like me to help you achieve a paradigm shift onto a broader platform of knowledge. If those who get vaccinated do not get the disease, then why mandate vaccines?? You still havent responded to the contradiction of why vaccines must be mandated, if, as you assert, those who get vaccinated do not get the disease. BTW, do you know that Humphries exposed the HIGHLY embarrassing situation of Offit (the Godfather of vaccines paid handsomely Big Pharma) posting on his website that human cells normally use aluminum as part of their cellular function? Scientific experts on aluminum toxicity (and heavy metal toxicity in general) had to be rolling on the floor. I was shocked having some research background on common sources of ultra low level heavy metal toxicity in the promotion of neurological diseases. If you see what is happening in Africa (article I posted) the answer to mandatory should be obvious, polio could possibly be wiped from the face of the Earth so no one would ever suffer from it again like smallpox. Why should a handful of Muslim fundamentalists leaders prevent their people from immunized and thus keeping this horrible disease around to endanger our children? It is no different than having a quarantine, or having pure food and drug regulations, or keeping Typhoid Mary from working in a kitchen. Humphries meticulously makes the case that polio was an exaggeration and to some extent a fabrication as the diagnostic criteria were changed as the vaccine problems became suspected in the medical community. It was a moving goal post. Dissenting scientists and physicians were ignored or removed from government panels, exactly as was done with the FDAs approval of GMOs. This is heavily documented. Fatalities from infectious diseases plummeted in the west when sanitation and nutrition standards improved, around the turn of the last century, long before vaccinations were widely available. Polio, like smallpox, is primarily a scourge from poor sanitation and poor nutrition. The massive polio vaccine campaign in Africa has created a secondary problem of acute flaccid paralysis, just as crippling as polio, with an Indian medical journal estimating 47,500 cases in its 2011 report. What other unintended consequences might emerge in the years to come? Why did diphtheria resurge after vaccination rates fell in Germany, Canada, and the CIS? Did their sanitation go down all of a sudden? Confounding variables would have to be researched. For instance, vaccination rates might fall because economic conditions or demographics are changing and those variable would have a direct impact on disease contraction. You still arent addressing the problem of your logical fallacy as to why vaccines should be mandated if those who choose to get them are protected. Question #2 I have posted this 3 times, but here you go again. L care about other people besides myself like innocent children whose parents are gullible to fall for this stupidity. I dont want them to be sick, do you? Or do you not care about them? Or are you so selfish you cannot think about future generations who may suffer from your mistakes? What if a disease could be eliminated from the face of the Earth and the only thing keeping that from happening is a handful of anti vaxxers? Is that their right to pass this deadly disease onto our grandchildren. I hate is only toward those who would endanger millions through their selfishness and ignorance. Using an emotive terms such as selfish and innocent and then implying I dont care about suffering, which is why I chose the my profession, is an absurd strategy. I am concerned about insidious long term effects that I dont believe you are able to grasp. How about our generation totally eliminating a disease (like smallpox) so no one will ever have to get vaccinated for it or will ever have to worry about contracting it? Our gift to our grandchildren. The only thing standing in the way is the unvaccinated who host the virus and allow it to continue. Thats a noble goal, however, IMO, it would come at too high of a price given the long term risks I have been able to discern from the scientific literature and my own background knowledge. Moreover, there are many molecular biologists who can foresee a dangerous sitting ducks situation of few people having natural immunity to pathogens we evolved with. These viruses are are commonly found in other mammals and viruses mutate faster than any other biological entity, due to their short life cycles and primitive error prone polymerases. Theres more to say here, of course, but beyond the scope of this medium of exchange. Question #1 You say I never give any evidence and when I offer some you blow it off without even an attempt at explaining it. Very weak response and a total cop out. Show me evidence that provides a logical alternate explanation for the lack of vaccinartions followed by outbreaks in developed nations. I never said you dont provide evidence. You are confusing my commentary again with another poster. IMO, evidence works well in a research paper or presentation at a symposium when a group of highly educated (could be self educated) individuals on a topic have the background to critically dissect an issue. If you dont understand the relevance of a point I make you cant assume it is because my point was a cop out. Sorry, you are probably right, I am carrying this on with 3 other people, all at the same time. .and not answering any direct questions. Your strategy is pretty transparent Im afraid. Seems that every time I ask you for specifics you go silent. I have answered every question (multiple times) but not one of mine has been answered Sometime Disqus doesnt send me an email and I cant find your answer when going through that exact thread. Kindly copy/paste it. I admit I know nothing about scandals of Big Pharma and even individual misconduct. If there are abuses then those committing them should be sued or in prison. Reform and regulate I am all for it. My issue is people endangering others by anti vaxxers getting large numbers to forgo vaccinations. This will lead to a major outbreak and much needless suffering and death. Paul Offit, the lead medical voice of mandatory vaccination, interjecting disinfo and censorship is not about a Pharma scandal, its about institutional tyranny. Deep capture, as understood in political science is much more than the action of rogue elements. Such a system is impossible to reform without a major consciousness shift. You still didnt answer respond to the logical fallacy. BTW, more regulation is not a standard Libertarian response, its give the people all available information and then let them decide for themselves what risks they want to take. Correlation is not causation. You need to read Humphries excellent deconstruction of polio. I never buy into nutjob conspiracy, I do my own extensive research, but I bet you buy into coincidence theories and would never admit to false flags, assassinations, MK Ultra, bankster control of the mainstream media, economy, and political arena. Man it is a tough road to be the physician true to the oath.still better to be lonely in truth then complicit in lies. When the +-60% cross over, they take none of their payoffs with them. However, their inhumane activity is recorded. Better to be lonely in truth then complicit in lies Well said!!! My, my my,,,arent you just filled with hate, why? What are you so afraid of? If you are vaccinated why should you care? You are safe, right? What difference does mandatory vaccination make? Whoever is vaccinated is safe, right? By your twisted logic only people who are not vaccinated stand a chance of being exposed to dangerous viral spread diseases, right? You arent really so altruistic that you care that much about the rest of the world, are you? You dont sound like it to me when you call everybody that doesnt agree with you names just like a schoolyard brat. I care about other people besides myself like innocent children whose parents are gullible to fall for this stupidity. I dont want them to be sick, do you? Or do you not care about them? Or are you so selfish you cannot think about future generations who may suffer from your mistakes? What if a disease could be eliminated from the face of the Earth and the only thing keeping that from happening is a handful of anti vaxxers? Is that their right to pass this deadly disease onto our grandchildren. I hate is only toward those who would endanger millions through their selfishness and ignorance. As innocents, they also dont deserve risk of the devastating effects of autism or death as the case of teenagers developing CNS inflammation leading to disability and death from Gardasil injections. We are born with natural rights to decide what cost vs. risk benefits we will take, that is at the core of personal autonomy in medical ethics the heart and soul of classic liberalism. Eugenicists have also believed they could eliminate genetically linked diseases from the face of the earth for the greater good. Cost benefit!? Perhaps some side effects for one in a million by your own data compared to millions dead. Yes, lets do cost benefit analysis. My own data? Thats BS. You would fit right in working as a Big Pharma minion. LOL! As innocents they dont deserve to get a deadly disease because their parents decide safe vaccines are too dangerous but deadly diseases are not. How are they safe? Please explain There is no scientific link to autism, period. Of all the cases paid out by this government agency for side effects due to vaccination, they are less than in one in a million. Pick any disease and the consequences are far more severe. Chicken Pox. William Thompson, for starters. Wakefields findings have been corroborated in subsequent studies including research from an American university. Quantify one in a million. Point to facts for once! This is based on payout by the VICP Put a real number on it along with a total payout. Why point to only US data? The US is not a big enough sample size for you? The bottom line is that vaccines are very safe. Connections to complications are not proven. Oh, its plenty to prove my point. Again, put a real number on it along with a total payout. You have no idea how safe the vaccines are or are not. You only know the received wisdom from the Establishment and Big Pharma, which controls the FDA. This same FDA that whisteblower Thompson has shown hid data showing an increased risk in autism from vaccinations. Dont fool yourself, parents, not children are deciding. What if they are wrong, deluded, superstitious, have offbeat religious beliefs. Should a child die because their parents are against antibiotics or transfusions? Yes. Should a child die or suffer life long damage because their parents just did as they were told without asking questions? The question responsible parents should ask is What is the greatest danger. Disease is FAR more likely to cause harm than any vaccine. Prove it. I have provided evidence that there is little danger from vaccines and that these diseases used to kill millions. If you dont believe that the vaccines had anything to do with the eradication of the diseases in spite of overwhelming evidence, then I dont know if anything would satisfy you need for evidence. Like all who believe in a conspiracy, there is no evidence that could be provided to alter their opinion. All data is faked to further the conspiracy. Occams Razor applies here, I have a simple and straightforward explanation as to how and why these diseases were eradicated by vaccines and why places that dont have vaccines still have outbreaks. Your explanation needs vast conspiracy, weak explanations of improved conditions being the real cause of the drop off (in spite of counter examples never explained by you) . When you have to go to such extreme lengths to keep you narrative alive it is probably wrong. Is this your proof? Let them all diesurvival of the fittest. O.K. youve shown you frightening vision. The question is, will anyone here condem you? So far, none of you have broken solidarity with each other, no matter what a fellow believer says. ANYONE disagree with tardis? ANYONE? I bet you love abortions and GMOs too! Youd lose. I think abortions are a tragedy that is none of the governments business and GMO and Monsanto are evildoers who are out to destroy the family farm. Hmmm, well then youre half way there! I saw a talk show last week that had four doctors onall they did was push vaccines! Because Doctors are more informed about medical issues than conspiracy nuts in France. Many doctors refuse to vaccinate their own kids! Many? Do you have any proof. I looked up a Swiss survey and found that 5 percent of nonpediatricians would not use the Hib vaccine for their own child. Their reasons for declining the use of Hib for their own children included a lack of concern about the disease. So they selfishly endanger others because the risk is low because most everyone is immunized. Pediatricians vaccinated at much higher rates than non pediatricians. If vaccines are safe and effective, why has VICP paid out over 18 billion in damages related to vaccinations? Also, a similar program in The UK has done the same to the vax injured. No medical intervention is completely risk free. Vaccines, though they are designed to protect from disease, can cause side effects that range from mild to serious. The most common side effects from vaccination are soreness, swelling, or redness at the injection site. Some vaccines are associated with fever, rash, and achiness. Serious side effects from vaccination are rare, but may include life-threatening allergic reaction, seizure, and even death. When vaccines first began to be widely used, people who experienced serious side effects from vaccination had little recourse to compensation from manufacturers, physicians, or the government. This was particularly a problem when vaccine production techniques were in their infancy and contamination of vaccines occasionally occurred during or after manufacture. Since the passage in 1902 of the U.S. Biologics Control Act, which initiated the regulation of vaccines, such problems with negligence in manufacture have declined greatly. As product liability law evolved during the 20thcentury, it eventually provided an avenue for compensation for individuals harmed by vaccines: they could sue a manufacturer for harm caused by an improperly made vaccine, or they could sue a physician for administering a vaccine when it was contraindicated. In the United States, the civil court system applies the principles of tort law to these suits. This rest of this article addresses programs that compensate individuals for adverse clinical events that are known to be caused by properly manufactured vaccines. Because governments have an interest in maintaining public health by means of vaccination, many, including the U.S. government, have developed no-fault systems for compensating people who have been adversely affected by certain vaccines. These people, to some degree, have assumed the risk of adverse event on behalf of the society in which they live. Therefore, many governments have adopted the position that it is fair and reasonable to compensate those who are harmed by properly manufactured vaccines. Why dont vax makers simply remove the junk? Keep the attenuated antigen and get rid of everything else. And you have no inkling as to how insidious long term effects can easily be missed by the current system, especially one heavily biased and in a state of deep capture? There have never been any controlled studies on the use of aluminum in vaccines, for good reason. Tip of the iceberg. Im still waiting for an answer to my question below! Dont see any question below. Why dont vax makers simply remove the junk? Keep the attenuated antigen and get rid of everything else. They absolutely remove anything that is not necessary to its effectiveness. Instead of saying vaccines do not work, focus on insisting they are made with pure ingredients? I would completely support your movement then. No, they do not remove the garbage. It would cost them too much money. on in one million yet no word from you about what would have been the suffering if no vaccines were given. From 2006 to 2014, over 2.5 billion doses of covered vaccines were distributed in the U.S. according to the CDC. 3,169 claims were adjudicated by the Court for claims filed in this time period and of those 1,939 were compensated. This means for every 1 million doses of vaccine that were distributed, 1 individual was compensated. Since 1988, over 16,113 claims have been filed with the VICP. Over that 27 year time period, 14,117 claims have been adjudicated, with 4,205 of these determined to be compensable, while 9,912 were dismissed. Total compensation paid over the life of the program is approximately $3.2 billion. Pardon me, for some reason 18 billion came to mind. You neglect to mention most diseases were already on the decline before vaccinations for the were created. Also, most vaccines today are for common illnesses that go away all by themselves. Such as the dreaded Measles, its common childhood illness that goes away in about a month. They used to even have Measles Parties for kids to expose them so natural immunity would give lifelong immunity. How do they selfishly endanger others, if, as you assert elsewhere on this thread, those who get vaccinated do not get the disease? Duh, they endanger others who are not vaccinated, future generations (for whom the disease could be extinct if not for the anti vaxxers), their families (who they may provide for or who may care about them), taxpayers who will bear the burden of dealing with an epidemic, overburdened hospitals who may not be able to provide care for regular patient in the face of an epidemic, first responders who will be overburdened by a breakout and the time and effort to deal with it. That doesnt make sense because everyone who ascribes to your reasoning will have protected themselves. Next you will have the Diet Nazis telling people what to eat so taxpayers wont have to bear the burden of health care costs. Take your strategy of the end justifies the means to its logical conclusion. Libertarian ideology is contrary to forcing ones choices on another, that would be neoliberal and neoconservative, which arent liberal or conservative just fronts for globalism and technocracy. I am not taking it to its logical conclusion. This is a fallacious argument called the slippery slope. Just because I advocate protecting society from the time bomb danger of infections disease does not mean I want to ban McDonalds, smoking, cars, drinking, and driving motorcycles. Saving the taxpayer from cost was only one of MANY reasons (and the least important) I gave for having mandatory vaccinations. The bottom line is freedom to choose what to put into our bodies must be absolute in free society. Its our natural right. Im amazed that you would spend so much time in back and forth exchanges when you dont share any of our views or care to broaden your perspective. As to your being amazed, likewise. You didnt give important points their due consideration. The main ones being 1.) Grave concerns over known and suspected risks that havent been allowed an opportunity for a full vetting owing to a captured system, thus no true informed consent possible and 2). Recognition that mortality rates for infectious diseases plummeted BEFORE the widespread introduction of vaccinations with death rates already plunging 95-99% when vaccinations were introduced for measles, whooping cough, etc., hence, immunity is a more complex system than most realize Humphries has many graphs for the historic data charts she meticulously assembled, if you care to look. www (dot) dissolvingillusions.com/graphs/ As to the first point parents are deciding for their children, it is not a free choice. Can society have a quarantine? Can society protect itself from public health threats? What is a terrorist infected himself with smallpox and started flying around the the country? Typhoid Mary, can we make her not work? As I have stated before libertarian philosophy allows freedom for the individual; UNLESS he is endangering others or interfering with the rights of others. What if an unvaccinated child (by parents choice) died of diphtheria? Didnt the parents violate that childs rights? Group think isnt a function of being factually informed. Indoctrination is the word. You are obviously not among like minded folks here if you go down the path of using the term conspiracy nuts, repeatedly. And if you are critical of the one person here who isnt like minded then you may want to examine your own possible connection to group think. Insulting a group of people with the use of what you perceive to be a derogatory term (conspiracy nuts) and then using an appeal to authority does not make for a rational argument or reasoned debate. The vast majority of regular selfnews Post readers know throwing around the term conspiracy is a non starter. Questioning top down paradigms inherently involves rejection of group think. Ironically, no one Ive ever come across is more gifted at this process than Rappoport. As I already mentioned, the group think here is as powerful as any Ive seen anywhere. Anyone who doesnt buy in is ridiculed as some sort of incurious drooling tool of government propaganda. I assure you that I am not as I question just about everything the government and I am always suspicious of the corporate world. I justfind the success of vaccines irrefutably compelling. Of course, I understand why you find the purported history of vaccines to appear irrefutably compelling because as a student studying immunology it seemed to me to be a reasonable and even cool explanation of mankinds triumph over disease. The more you dive into the world of scientific research, the more you understand how shades of gray can take on mythic proportions of being the big truth and why that happens when there are very smart people driving seductive narratives typically incentivized by profit, ego, and larger Establishment agendas. Please recognize by using ad hominems (conspiracy nuts, foolish, anti-science stupidity, ignorant, superstitious, etc.) instead of engaging with us in reasoned discussion as an open source community of people searching for hard truths, you do yourself and the truth and liberty movement a big disservice. Respectful and well informed contrarian commentary is always a good thing. Always. How may whistleblowers have to come forward before youll admit the world has been duped by Big Pharma who own the doctors, researchers, universities and MSM. Its easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled. Big Brother told me not to read this nagalase inhibitor turns off the gcmaf natural body tumor special ops attack force and no collateral (perceivable damage). also see crispr-cas9. hopefully California will return to their individualism intellect. Ofcourse not at the expense of more autistic babies. Moms dont vax dont allow your new born out of your sight at the hospital. Have your baby at home. The doctor researching that was murdered. A bunch of conspiracy nuts in France punch a hole in the vaccine consensus. Well they didnt dent reality. My Great Grandfather was raised on a farm in Wisconsin (no GMOs or factory farming). In 1881, his older brother went off to school in Minneapolis and contracted diphtheria and died. His belongings were packed in a trunk and returned to the family where the 4 youngest brothers and sisters all were infected and also died. 5 of a family of 8 were dead within 3 months of each other. The more people who buy this BS, the greater the possibility of a pandemic. The danger is small as long as the anti-vaccers are a limited to some isolated cranks but if this ever catches on in any serious way the consequences will be most grave. This movement is dangerous and ill-informed. Sorry, but youre in the wrong place. selfnews Post is a place for critical thinkers. Its a bit absurd that you use Diphtheria as an example. That disease is borne out of unsanitary conditions. If you drink the equivalent of toilet water on a daily basis, no vaccine in the world can help. Thats why there was a major diphtheria outbreak in The CIS, Canada and Germany when the vaccination rates went down in the 1990s. Maybe you should examine your own critical thinking skills before you question others. The outbreaks are tied to places with low vaccination rates. Unsanitary conditions contribute to the speed of the spread, yes. But those who are vaccinated do not get the disease, period. Theres no need to get testy. I guess I need to start from the beginning with you. How long has the anti-vax movement been going on? Please be specific. I dont know specifically, my cousin was bombarding me with this and of course Jenny McCarthy was touting it a few years ago. I am not saying that there are not evil corporations, etc, but not believing that vaccines are not real is dangerous because the more who fall for this, the greater the danger. Diphtheria was once a greatly feared illness in the United States. In the 1920s, there were between 100,000 and 200,000 cases of diphtheria each year with 13,00015,000 deaths. Because of widespread immunization and better living conditions, diphtheria is now rare in the United States.Vaccination is the most effective step you can take to be protected from this serious disease. Saying I have no critical thinking is responsible for my testy tone. Sorry. As a libertarian you can take all the vaccines you want, as long as you dont push them on othersthats the libertarian thing to do! I agree that mandatory vaccination is not normal libertarian position. But to not get vaccinated is endangering the lives of others and is therefore a legitimate use of government power. You cant endanger someone vaccinated with immunity. How is it that when vaccine critics cite individual examples of morbidity and mortality directly caused by vaccinations, the pro-vaccine crowd says these are merely anecdotal and rare cases of a fulminant autoimmune reaction but when a pro-vaxxer cites his or her own anecdotal case they believe they have a deep enough understanding of the science to say vaccination critics are full of BS? Epidemiology, immunology, and the general field of medical science cannot be understood with such tiny lenses. If there are some issues about a handful of cases, I am fine with experts dealing with the repercussions of that. I am concerned about the millions at risk if people foolishly believe that vaccines are not generally safe and effective. If this view prevails, the result will be thousands of deaths and the handful of cases will be forgotten and the people will cry outwhy did all these people have to die? This is like climate change denial the price of anti science stupidity will be paid by future generations. Im sorry you missed my point that your anecdotal story and ones I can provide are in no way to be taken as clear scientific evidence of cause and effect. I have invested much time researching both sides and am fortunate to have the advantage of being a medical scientist, who, like Humphries, did not question what was handed down to me until I began observing major errors in medical paradigms. I also know well the history of medical science and there are consistent patterns of cognitive dissonance and push back when the dominant paradigm is correctly challenged. Climate change is also a complex subject that has been grossly oversimplified as a public debate. Any science that rejects open discussion and serious questions about methods for data collection, analysis, and modeling bias is not true science. Falsifiability is antithetical to a dogmatic approach. Ultimately, the greatest need is for absolute transparency and you dont understand why that is not achieved because your mind is handcuffed to a knee jerk rejection of the concept of powerful people collaborating to serve their own needs at the expense of others. You may be surprised to learn that I agree with your view of science and also the complexity of Climate Change. It bugs me to no end when these Republicans say I am no scientist but The opponents to doing something about Climate Change fund scientists who are trying to prove there is no danger and to obfuscate the issue instead of practicing true science. On the other hand, I have seen the same sort of sloppy science all over this page cherry picked misleading stats, bits of interviews taken out of context, wild conspiracy theories that are all over the map, even a definitive statement that there is no such thing as a communicable disease. This idea has been allowed to stand by everyone posting here except me. Excuse me if I am not impressed by the scientific tenor of this site when taken as a whole. You appear to be the exception, not the rule. Sorry you missed my point that the long term efficacy and safety of all vaccines cannot possibly be known from anecdotal instances, mine or yours. It takes a great deal of intense research to fully understand such things. A lot of people would like to think they should be the arbitrars of what is foolish and what isnt then use force to impose their views. That is a far cry from classic liberalism (libertarian-minded views), rather, it is Technocracy. I had a friend from France that was sending constant tweets condemning anyone that questioned vaccines. I wonder if hes eating his words now. If they told you informed consent whats in vaccines, youd run out screaming! I have always signed an informed consent form when I get a vaccination. No doctors give this unless asked. Some doctors even get indignant when asked for it. Please try to steer clear of anecdotes unless you have some way of proving it. I have signed them for my son as well. Personal experience is not allowed? O.K. I say that personal experience is not valid because I could tell you that my youngest son suffered neurological damage as a result of his MMR shot but it would be called anecdotal by pro-vaxxers. I am truly sorry to hear about your son, but how can you conclusively know that the cause was from the shot? Most of the evidence I have seen for ill effects from vaccines is supplied by parents who self report the problem. With millions vaccinated every year, if a child has a problem but it may have nothing to do with the vaccination at all. I have seen no scientific proof of a link to these problems and these side effects. I fully understand the desire of parents to assign blame, but that does not prove a connection. Let us consolidate these conversations so that we dont fly off on tangents. Do you have any comments regarding my main thread? Particularly the history of the anti-vaxx movement? If you are for improving the safety and ingredients of vaccines you would get no objection from me. I have read that the quality control of vaccines has much improved over time, just as have peanut butter and hot dogs. My only argument is with those who dont believe vaccines are useful in protecting public health. They imagine some magical force halted these scourges at the same time that vaccines were introduced an amazing coincidence! They see conspiracy everywhere and no evidence can sway their paranoia. They think the government is deliberately causing cancer but never say why. They discredit reasonable dissent by making outrageous claims against the government and corporations. The funny thing is that I am more suspicious of corporations than anyone yet the claims here are not plausible and are not supported by evidence.. One in a million has some side effects? This is a small cost considering the millions who were dying from these diseases prior to vaccination. If the anti vaxxers were around 60 years ago, we would still have people dying of smallpox. You need to read Dr. Suzanne Humphries book Dissolving Illusions for clear perspective on smallpox and the vaccine paradigm in general. The most astute researchers and clinicians critical of vaccination protocols FULLY acknowledge the pros and cons of vaccinations. The debate is far more nuanced than you allude to and starts with a thorough understanding of cellular vs. humoral immunity. Cumulative burden of heavy metals, cytokine storms, assaults from adjuvants, viral contamination, and other known problems are medical fact, not speculation. Dr. Suzanne Humphries, a doctor with a conscience, who practices no harm. It seems that youre pretty new to this debate. Vaccines are not safe and effective as the MSM seems to keep repeating. Off the top of my head I can think of 4 reasons: 1. Vaccines can and do cause permanent damage for a portion of the population. The one in a million argument is so nebulous and never quantified. Start with point 1 and refute it with evidence please. Rather than vilify people that question/refuse vaccines, doest it make more sense to simply ask the question Why? You seem to be laser focused on Diphtheria. Very well. RE: Because of widespread immunization and better living conditions, diphtheria is now rare in the United States. Can you define better living conditions? Also, can you point to evidence that suggest vaccinations played a major role in the decline of cases? Outbreaks, though very rare, still occur worldwide, including in developed nations, such as Germany among non-vaccinated children, and Canada. After the breakup of the former Soviet Union in the early 1990s, vaccination rates in its constituent countries fell so low that there was an explosion of diphtheria cases. In 1991, there were 2,000 cases of diphtheria in the USSR. By 1998, according to Red Cross estimates, there were as many as 200,000 cases in the Commonwealth of Independent States, with 5,000 deaths. The common theme is the lack of vaccinations, not the living conditions. Vaccines cannot cause the disease unless they are live viruses and even then it is rare. Dead viruses cannot spread and cannot infect others. as for 4. If the virus has nowhere to go, it will die off and the epidemic is over. So if everyone has immunity, the virus is doomed. Let us deal with these points one by one, shall we? Start with point 1 and refute it with evidence please. Vaccines have caused severe autoimmune reactions leading to permanent disability and in some cases death. In the US, more than 100 deaths have been formally attributed to Gardasil, most were rapid onset in otherwise healthy young patients. Vaccines have been found to be contaminated with viruses, as was the polio vaccine, thought to be the cause of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands cases of lymphoma. The medical journal Lancet published a paper in 2002 estimating nearly half of the 55,000 cases of non-Hodgkins lymphoma diagnosed each year are a consequence of the polio vaccine contaminated with the cancer inducing SV40 virus. Note that in these cases, the way SV40 disrupts cellular function, it takes many years for cancer to develop. This is an example of an insidious problem that takes a tremendous amount of research and good insight to get to the bottom of, if ever. When a child gets a vaccine and screams for 8 hours straight, and begins slamming their head against the wall due to the pain and trauma their brains are suffering, and loses all eye contact and verbal speech. Or the seizure that often happens whilst still in the doctors office, or the high fever. Doctors tell parents, this is absolutely normal. High fever, seizures lead to brain damage, word dyslexia, motor skill disfunction. Where is this information from? Im seeing a consistent pattern with you in that you repeatedly make nebulous claims with no supporting facts/evidence. Here are the basic rules regarding debates: Answer all direct questions Violating any of these rules demonstrates that you have a weak argument. It looks like youre violating at least the first 2 rules. If you hope to appear credible in this forum I suggest you start supporting your claims and answering direct questions. Yep, Ive a best friend, her daughter received encephalitis with her 19TH vaccine. So they told you in detail that Aluminum, Mercury, Bovine Serum, Embalming Fluid, Aborted Human Baby Fetal Cells, etc. were in your vaccines? Waiting for answers to my questions above and below! file:///home/chronos/u-68e411ac0ef37b52b154df678f9df6eb45338ebc/Downloads/ec-113.pdf You may have signed a form, but did they read you the insert and explain what toxic ingredients was in it? Vaccine free and Im loving it. :-) DUnce hat! As for too deeply entrenched in her mind how about you going to ridiculous lengths to deny the obvious that infectious diseases exist? Hormones? Seriously? How many here are on board with this? He is making you all look like nut jobs. Join him or debate him if you leave this to stand I will assume you agree or are too cowardly to condemn Personally, I am certain of the ill effects of vaccination and have never found any reason to sway that belief. Certainly not by some rabid, hate filled punk that cannot prove a thing he says, but uses ad hominem attacks like a schoolboy ridiculing something he doesnt understand. I really dont care what you assume. Your attitude and remarks speak volumes for your irrational fear of something that clashes with your world view. This isnt a game with sides, although I guess you could say it is the people who are open to the truth , no matter what form it may take against those who will not consider anything other than what theyve been programmed with. Lets review. I am certain of the ill effects of vaccination and have never found any reason to sway that belief. and This isnt a game with sides, although I guess you could say it is the people who are open to the truth , no matter what form it may take against those who will not consider anything other than what theyve been programmed with. Do you see any inconsistency between these two statements separated by only a few sentences? Certainly not by some rabid, hate filled punk that cannot prove a thing he says, but uses ad hominem attacks like a schoolboy ridiculing something he doesnt understand. NOW THIS IS IRONY! You are accusing me of ad hominem attacks and write that sentence. Do you know what an ad hominem attack is or is it just some SAT word you like to throw around? Where have I made an ad hominem attacks? Do you think you just made one? Are you a hypocrite? Name calling is ad hominem. You have done this on numerous occasions. You are incorrect. As hominem are personal attacks unrelated to the issue every adjective I has use is descriptive of my opinion of the position the poster has taken. Do you think lastgasp ids doing this, or do you all always stick together? You are being disingenuous. Personal attacks in the form of name calling are not substitutes for reasoned arguments. You have done this repeatedly. Where is you condemnation of lastgasp Oh thats right you wouldnt attack each other for doing worse name calling than I ever did making you a hypocrite. Not ad hominem because your actions related to this issue are the very definition of hypocrite. Because you are called out for name calling instead of reasoned arguments, you, in turn, attack me with name calling (hypocrite) for not engaging in the commentary of everyone posting on this thread? I am not a nanny and I dont have time to be the P.C. police. If others resort to name calling, its on them and not productive. Why are you my P.C. police and no one elses? That is the very essence of hypocrisy. Thank you for the references. From what I can see, Humphries is taking the battle to the medical establishments own turf by finding hard evidence that contradicts the deeply entrenched myths of vaccination being the primary or substantial cause of disease eradication. Know the infowar MUST be fought on several fronts. I am open minded but I also know what medical science has clearly demonstrated. Oftentimes the problem is interpretation. CMRedwood, she is good is Dr Suzanne Humphries, but she now needs to move on and drop the infectious model. Only then will she understand the health disease process. To sit on a fence, a balancing act, entrenched in the infectious myth (infectious polio is one example) will get her nowhere. But as I say, those who hold onto the infectious myth will simply not see it or want to see it as they are so focussed to the point of obsession on the idea that we catch disease, which is absurd. Its really about the conditioning of the mind through cultural norms and psychological and sociological issues. When we are raised in a culture that paints motor cars red, then we became acclimatized to that and so we then paint motor cars red. We follow like lost sheep, we fit into place. To use another colour is a taboo, we get punished. Most people are like that, our friend libertarian is like that. We merely repeat the mantra endlessly, we are really defending our own condition regardless that we make no sense. This means we are not using our heads, we are on auto-pilot, programed to self destruct. Sadly, the airplane will eventually crash. Vaccine damage airplanes, its popular, but the plane will eventually crash. John Wantling, Rochdale Wikipedia is hardly a scholarly source. Or do you know what a scholarly or verifiable source is? Do you even know what the definition of libertarian is? Perhaps you could start your journey of discovery by looking up the definition of libertarian in a good dictionary, you know, one of those that doesnt have pictures? Libertarianism is the view that each person has the right to live his life in any way he chooses so long as he respects the equal rights of others. By avoiding vaccinations you endanger all humankind. How do you know humankind has not evolved to co-exist with bacteria and viruses in a balancing act? Even common bacteria and viruses can become dangerous when our bodies are weak. Viruses mutate quickly and cross species, natural immunity would protect us far better from the introduction of new viruses than relatively weak and one-dimensional humoral immunity which requires constant boosters to keep antibody titers up, not so with natural immunity, it is lifelong. Because natural immunity caused millions of deaths. You might as well say we shouldnt practice medicine because people with bad hearts or children with an ear infection should die so as not to pass on their defective genes. What about all natural cures? Cures or preventatives? Both. Appeal to emotion and a straw man fallacy in so few wordsman you are a world class shill. Damn straight. Nailed it. Where did I present a straw man argument? You clearly dont have an education in the biological sciences, much less medical, thus you have no idea what Im talking about. Heres a perfect analogy: For a decade or more, oxidative (free radical) damage to cells was thought to be the source of diseases and aging, a universal negative with the exception of free radicals such a hydrogen peroxide being used by macrophages to kill invaders. In the last ten years this paradigm has matured and evolved into a far more sophisticated nuanced understanding that we very much need oxidative stress to upregulate powerful antioxidants proteins in our cells. You are arguing nonsense, a one-dimensional paper tiger argument. Its only recently medical science has been on a steep learning curve on how our commensals work with our bodies like a symphony. Natural immunity caused millions of deaths? Its prevented a quadtrillion or more infections from taking hold and killed countless cancer cells. Natural immunity has worked to shape our species. Just as exposure to allergens is necessary at a young age to train our immune system to tolerate our normal environment, exposure to bacteria and viruses shapes the developing immune system into a deft army. Again, since you cant grasp the difference between humoral and cellular immunity, you are trying to argue something you dont understand at all. Of course natural immunity has prevented virtually every person from dying. That is how vaccines work using dead virus to allow the body to develop a natural immunity. But natural immunity (before vaccines) allowed millions to die from diseases that are not preventable by using vaccines. Vaccines only stimulates the humoral system, whereas natural immunity from natural viral contraction engages both humoral and cellular immunity creating a permanent memory to a vast array of epitopes. Humoral (vaccine) immunity is not, by definition, natural immunity. Why do you think boosters are needed? There is a difference. Fine. Do you have a point? 122 cases in 2012 of a typically self limiting and mild infection does not make for a serious health problem by any stretch. If the same modus operandi is being used to reclassify the diagnostic criteria as was done in the big US polio campaigns decades ago, then we are flying blind here, again. Moreover, if immunity comes from vaccinations, rather than natural exposure, it is not lasting or particularly robust. Thus if a mutated form of the virus resurfaces there will be no longer any humans with natural immunity and the results could be easily be catastrophic. This issue is more complex than you realize. It is self limiting BECAUSE most are vaccinated. What if they werent? You are so full of crap! What pharma company do you work for? Its self limiting in the unvaccinated. I bet you have no idea that standard practice when young children were diagnosed with polio infection was to bind their limbs into braces and tight splints which impeded development. The first physical therapist, a nurse who treated the self limiting and general weakness some young polio patients presented with, was tremendously successful in getting her patients full mobility again. She rejected the arbitrary practice of binding limbs and gave them targeted movement exercises instead. The example was diphtheria, before vaccines tens of thousands died each year in the US alone. Doesnt sound self limiting to me. Unless you feel these are acceptable losses to avoid vaccination, The response I gave was to the CNN article you posted, thats why I first remarked on the 122 cases in 2012 reported in the article. You are getting confused by all of the responses. Probably Im back and forthing with three other people besides you. But I think Im done soon. It is a waste of time it seems. No one will budge, none of you will question each other about anything in spite of some outrageous statements. This is the perfect example of the Internet where a group will find like minded people and will reinforce each others beliefs by not listening to dissenters (or ganging up on them) and sticking together no matter what. Problem is you are not even libertarian-minded or well informed on deep state issues. You endlessly rationalize to support your own views. Thats antithetical to being open to new and larger paradigms. Again, you should read Dissolving Illusions and use that information to develop a more informed and nuanced perspective of infectious disease. Im sorry if you feel that youre ganged up on in this forum. It was your decision to enter into a forum with people of critical thinking skills. You may call us names like paranoid conspiracy nuts, but at least have one thing in common: Our experiences and knowledge of the subject is consistent. In contrast, pro-vaxx fanatics seem to be all over the map with their beliefs and knowledge. Ive been having this debate for nearly 10 years now, and in that time Ive heard a broad array of arguments from you people: Pro-vaxxer fanatic #1 claims that vaccines are not drugs. So you see, its very hard for anyone who thinks critically to take any of you guys seriously. I personally find it amusing when you come with your scientific claims. It would be great however if you guys could hold a town meeting to get on the same page with your beliefs. I am not afraid of being ganged up on at all. My problem is that you never seem to criticize each other even if you are in disagreement. Hardly a forum for improving understanding. When you say vaccine advocates are all over the place -I can say the same thing about all of you. You have very different opinions but you never discuss you conflicts. Enjoy your echo chamber. This is the perfect example of the Internet where a group will find Looks like you were playing the victim. Im using your own words. Can you people ever get on the same page with basic facts? BTW, you should know that many vaccine critics like Humphries have never rejected the practice of vaccination outright. They believe there is some evidence for limited and judicious use. Limited is the key term and fully informed consent. Since there have never been any studies done on the effects of aluminum in vaccines, for example, there can be no fully informed consent because the data is not there and TPTB have no interest in putting concerns to rest by doing thorough studies. If you review all my post you will not find a single instance of me defending the government or big pharma, or for allowing impurities in vaccines. I have been accused of being a lackey, a tool and of working for big pharma. I fully support full disclosure, pure drugs, open looks at companies and the government. If you were fighting for that I would fully support you. My focus has remained with the effectiveness and utility of vaccines to prevent disease and the danger of the uninformed endangering others (and their own children) by believing they do not work and/or are far more dangerous than they in fact are. And that the disease is not dangerous. Good, then lead the charge against Big-Pharma to remove the cancerous crap! That looks like the only common ground you will find here, is the absolute need for transparency so the public can make truly informed decisions. By public I dont mean majority consensus, I mean individuals being able to make truly informed decisions about their health care options. We dont have that, the process has been heavily skewed. This is where we dont meet eye to eye and I know for a fact you dont have a grasp of the level of corruption in health care and scientific research, or government for that matter. You know nothing about me for a fact. I am more suspicious of government and especially corporations than you know. You assume because I dont agree with you on this one topic that I am some sort of gullible, complacent naive fool who believes everything Im told. You are completely wrong about that and your statement that you know this for a fact demonstrated that you will assume facts with almost no evidence. Just like you have on the topic of vaccines. Whats the point, guilt by association? Personal philosophical exemptions should extend to anyone whether I agree with their logic or not. Besides, according to you, they cant hurt the vaccinated. Wouldnt that be a Darwinian survival of the fittest situation in your view? Human chorionic gonadotropin has been found in some foundation sponsored vaccine third world campaigns. Maybe the ones you are condemning for their ignorance are aware of something your arent. Only Hitler and KKK are for survival of the fittest I am for eliminating disease and suffering and certainly do not want innocent children to die because of their parents superstition or misinformed opinions. You are mistaken, eugenicists are also of the same mindset and they have been very influential in engineering social policies in this country. It isnt for you or anyone else to decide what acceptable risk is. That is totalitarian. SOTF is natures way. I had a terrible flu 20 years ago that lasted a monthhave never had a flu since (natural immunity). or luck. You cannot have natural immunity to flu because there are many different strains each year. You are kidding yourself if you think you cant get it you can get it if you have the shot if you are exposed to a different strain. Let me ask you, as an infant I had every vaccination. So how come I still got every single damn illness that I was vaccinated against? Ok. it looks like I need to be pedantic in my request. Can you please just list the total number of deaths and injuries + total compensation paid out? No need for a breakdown by year of any kind. It is really that simple. I just need to make sure were on the same page when pointing to facts. No need to expand upon it. Read the link everything you could want to know is there, that why I provided the link. How tedious this is, even when being pedantic. Once again, can you please just list the total number of deaths and injuries + total compensation paid out (from that link)? No need for a breakdown by year of any kind. It is really that simple. I just need to make sure were on the same page when pointing to facts. No need to expand upon it. The definition of proof is laying out facts, not recycled assertions. Anyone who knows ANYTHING about science knows there is no such thing as proof. Just theories that work until they are improved on. I cant believe you claim scientific expertise and do not know this. You must be getting me confused with someone else. Youre over-complicating this and I never claimed to have scientific expertise. If I did, copy/paste my text. One only needs to use logic and have basic reading skills. O.K. proof is not a scientific concept. Neither is one in a million. Any reputable scientist would laugh you right out of the building. READ the file. That is what it is, one in a million. Stop being so lazy. I read it, so can you or just drop it. Talking to you is a colossal waste of time. I reanswer and you reask. Over and over. Now now. Emotions are flaring and youre violating another debate rule. Im still waiting on you to answer a simple question. Is it such a chore? Thank you, Rachel, for finding and sharing these. Profound and heart wrenching. Many vaccines are Contaminated by mistake or on purpose. The manufacturers have all been fined billions for criminal frauds and are untrustworthy . Vaccine protection wanes in a few years to a decade even when they work. When you add in original antigenic sin and vaccine failures and shedding, we are setting ourselves up for huge problems. Immediately when they claim that the science is settled they are liars. The latest study indicates people who do not get mumps and measles have higher death rates from heart problems! A tremendous screw up as big or greater than SV40 . Vaccination for benign diseases should be stopped. At least France is reasonable. Sorry, the Baltimore Sun link didnt work for me. Is this about Carson being chairman of Vaccinogen Inc? I cant say Im surprised, he appears to be a RINO or at the very least too clueless and self-absorbed to see the big picture. Nightmare is right, and fast! Were spread too thin. We need to network now more than ever. Wow. That link disappeared fast! Yes, he was on he board. Trump is just a show clown for now but his numbers will drop or he will simply drop out, leaving Carson in the lead. Please share this info. Thx. In truth, NOBODY apposes vaccines. What some of us appose is, the overgrown radical governments that have embraced technology and IDIOCRACY to advance the Globalist agenda! Have you ever asked yourself, why is it the RURAL people everywhere are the only ones that question things? Its because we have been the least exposed to the Communist Propaganda machine of the 21st century! In USA its the Democrat Party, the Rino (Republican in name only) parties, and everywhere else, Labor, Congress, Communist, Socialist, etc. parties! WAKE UP IDIOTS. 
2	BREAKING: The Results Of Polls Are Coming In Fast And All Signs Are Pointing To... For months, Hillary Clinton and her supporters thought she had the election in the bag. Their confidence was at an all-time high when a video clip was released of Donald Trump making lewd comments about women eleven years ago. She probably wasnt prepared to lose in the second presidential debate, just days after the video surfaced, but thats exactly what she did. The latest Rasmussen poll has revealed Trump is currently in the lead over Clinton, with 43% support compared to her 41%. This was a four point swing from the previous Wednesdays results (43-39 in favor of Clinton). With a three-day voting average, this is the first poll to gauge the reaction of voters following the debate. Trump still has a difficult road ahead. Clinton holds a major lead among women and young voters, while Trump dominants among men and older voters. He has slowly started gaining traction with minority voters, and is gaining on Clinton. What do you think? Could Trump still win this election? 
1	During a gala dinner at the Avalon-Carver Community Center Thursday night, officials from the City of Los Angeles honored the Shining Star Foundation for its ongoing work with local developmentally disabled celebrities. Saying she was 'incredibly humbled' by the award, Shining Star founder Rachel Davis emphasized the tremendous efforts of her dedicated staff, whose work has helped make daily life easier and more manageable for prominent special-needs stars like Jeremy Renner, Susan Sarandon, and John Legend. 'We started Shining Star with one simple but vital goal in mind: to provide our mentally challenged actors, actresses, musicians, and television personalities with the assistance they so desperately need,' Davis said to the gala's 250 attendees. 'We get up every day aiming to make a difference in their lives, even if it's something as small as driving them to Santa Monica and helping them buy designer clothes, or taking them out for some exercise with a personal trainer. We're there for them.' 'Obviously some of our celebrities will never be fully independent,' Davis continued. 'But seeing Bradley Cooper, for example, move into a 15,000-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion and only need us to stop by twice a week to make sure he's eating well and cleaning upwell, that's what we hope to achieve for everyone.' Shining Star says it is committed to helping ease the day-to-day life of mentally impaired celebrities everywhere. Davis told reporters she was inspired to start a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping disabled celebrities after watching Martin Landau struggle through his Best Supporting Actor acceptance speech at the 1989 Golden Globes and realizing that 'something had to be done to help these people.' One year later, Shining Star's flagship Beachwood Canyon facility opened to great acclaim, providing the likes of Andy Garcia and Andie MacDowell with access to basic, day-to-day disability services, including assistance with bathing, getting dressed, and driving to and from major Hollywood movie studios. 'I think it's wonderful what they've done, helping so many A-listers who previously had no chance of being a functional part of show business, let alone society at large,' said foundation donor and Paramount Pictures chairman Brad Grey, adding that he has personally and professionally come into contact with hundreds of developmentally disabled Hollywood performers over the years. 'I have seen firsthand how they've helped my friend Jon [Voight], and the results are astonishing.' Shining Star staffer Pamela Irwin, 33, acknowledged that while her work is incredibly rewarding, it can also be challenging at times, especially when working with some of the more severely disabled celebrities. Many, she claimed, have extremely underdeveloped social skills that make it difficult for them to participate in simple conversations or red-carpet interviews. 'It used to be a real challenge bringing some of the special-needs celebrities we work with, such as Richard Gere, to movie premieres or press junkets,' said Irwin, noting the high number of mentally challenged film directors, from Brett Ratner to Penny Marshall. 'You would never know when they might become too frightened and start screaming or acting out. And some of the bigger guys like John Goodman were problematic because they just didn't know their own strength. But we've been able to socialize them much better over time.' Despite the challenges, Shining Star employees claimed the results have been self evident: hundreds of show-business stars whose lives have been vastly improved, including three of the 10 highest grossing actors in Hollywood. 'When Shia [LaBeouf] here first came to us, he wouldn't interact with anyone except his mom and dad,' disability specialist Erin Culver, 41, told reporters as she carefully cut LaBeouf's vegetables and fastened a napkin to his collar. 'But now, if he goes one day without seeing his best friend Patrick [Dempsey], he'll run over to me asking, 'Where's Patrick? Where's Patrick?' They give each other confidence to get out there and try new things.' 'Just recently, Shia was able to go on The Tonight Show all by himself for the very first time,' continued Culver, her eyes welling with tears of pride. 'I didn't even have to hold his hand.' 
1	In the days leading up to the Nov. 6 General Election, the selfnews political team will answer your common questions about voting. Check back daily for two more responses to voters' most pressing questions. Why do we have a two-party system? Yes. What if nobody voted? Thats called a tie, dipshit. How do I vote by absentee ballot? Find a piece of paper, write down who you want to vote for, and place the piece of paper in a nearby tree. Or, purchase a Diebold AccuVote-TS for $2,964, make your selections, and then mail the electronic voting machine to your county clerks office. Why do we exercise our right to vote? Its good to get out of the house once every four years. How do I find my polling place? Youre a real mess, arent you? How do I request a ballot? Dont you understand? Your ballot was inside you the whole time. Is my vote kept a secret? Nah. How do I fill out a ballot? How do you make your bed? How do you tie your shoes? What are we, your babysitters? What if I change my mind after I vote? Should you change your mind after voting, you may file a formal grievance with your county clerk. If you voted for the winning presidential candidate and now support the loser, your grievance will likely result in the removal of the current president or, depending on the circumstance, will at the very least exempt you from all the laws of the country for the remainder of the sitting presidents term. Where can I get information about third-party candidates? Why arent they included in the debates? Third-party candidates are not included in debates because they wont fucking win the election. Happy now? Am I eligible to vote? How do I register? It depends on whos asking. Who is this? How are the votes counted on election night? There is a man who counts the votes. His name is Brian Durgess. Why do we use the electoral college? We continue to use the electoral college because no one has been able to come up with a simpler or more straightforward way to choose the president of the United States. Think about it: Is there anything more logical or intuitive? Nope. Where can I find out election results? Open your window. If you hear gunshots and the wails of starving babies, the other guy won. Or, if you are Native American, you can smell most state and federal election returns on the wind. 
1	In an impressive display of physical prowess, gutsy determination, and insatiable hunger, Celtics center Shaquille O'Neal proved all his doubters wrong Wednesday when the 38-year-old showed that he was still one of the most dominant big men around the basket of fries. O'Neal, who repeatedly demonstrated that his skills, quickness, and explosive power had not declined with age, was unstoppable whenever he came near the basket of fries. The 15-time NBA All-Star made his bruising presence felt for a full 48 minutes, as he used his massive 325-pound frame to drive hard to the basket and dunk the fries spectacularly into the ketchup. Celtics coach Doc Rivers said the 7-foot-1 center showed remarkable passion, screaming at opponents and throwing elbows in order to clear out the area in front of the basket of fries. 'Tonight he was a real difference-maker, using his bulk and superior strength to box people out and overpower guys,' Rivers told reporters after a postgame meal, adding that the area around the basket of fries was still O'Neal's comfort zone. 'Some people say that he's slowed down over the years, but he showed some real lateral quickness when he was defending his basket. He must have snagged about a dozen fries that I thought were out of his reach.' 'He sent a clear message to the league tonight,' Rivers added. 'If you get close to that basket of fries, Shaq can still make you pay.' Throughout the night, O'Neal displayed a variety of effective moves reminiscent of his early days with the Orlando Magic. Using head fakes and spins to get to the basket, the seven-footer chased down every loose fry, and at one point broke the rim of the basket. O'Neal relied on his huge hands to grab 18 rebounds after he missed several attempts to stuff fries into the hole, and displayed flashes of his old quickness by repeatedly scoring fries in bunches. The big man even defied the perception that he's become a less mobile, primarily inside force by executing a backdoor play in which he glided through traffic, looped around the back, and went hard through an open drive-thru lane, collecting an extra half dozen baskets of fries in the process. 'He turned back the clock, that's for sure,' TNT basketball analyst David Aldridge said on Inside The NBA. 'I haven't seen Shaq put on a display like that since he jammed down 12 consecutive Supersize fries in the McDonald's near Madison Square Garden in 1998. He always did shine on the biggest of stages.' Shooting guard Ray Allen was reportedly impressed by the way O'Neal aggressively attacked the basket of fries from both sides of the rim. According to Allen, O'Neal maintained his focus the entire night, opting never to take a breather and fighting through periods of obvious pain. 'Shaq was really in the zone tonight,' Allen told reporters, adding that he was impressed with O'Neal's amazing food court vision. 'He's so strong it was like nothing was going to stop him. He fought hard for every last fry.' 'And yet he really has a soft touch around the basket,' Allen continued. 'He's such a great finisher.' Portland Trail Blazers power forward LaMarcus Aldridge acknowledged that O'Neal took advantage of size-mismatches, fiercely guarding and controlling the area around the basket of fries by shielding it with his body and delivering a number of powerful blocks. 'When Shaq gets that hungry look in his eye, you know there's no way he's letting anyone near the basket,' Aldridge said. 'Anytime I got even close to a fry he laid me out cold.' Though O'Neal had one of his best showings of the season, Celtics sources said that forward Kevin Garnett was upset with O'Neal, claiming that 'Big Shamrock' missed a number of opportunities to feed him a fry down low. Moreover, while Garnett said O'Neal passed the salt efficiently, he noted that the 2000 NBA MVP did turn over his soft drink several times. Garnett acknowledged that he respects O'Neal's persistence and effort, however, and said tonight's display was clearly that of a man on a mission. 'Shaq's already got four onion rings on his fingers, but he still wants to get one more for the thumb,' Garnett said. 'And you know what? Tonight he showed he's going to do whatever it takes to get a whole handful of onion rings. Whatever it takes.' O'Neal later stunned his teammates with a last second bucket of chicken. 
3	A PATRIOT Act For Europe?Mac Slavo Then, President Bush responded by stating, with bravado, that they attacked us because they hate our freedoms. This time, the attack against the publication of satirical Mohammed cartoon, was not only an act of terrorism, but an attack on the spirit of free speech. And the government response this time? After staging a photo op of world leaders, various heads of state have proposed new waves of surveillance and repressive attempts to ban encryption and violate the freedom of speech in communication devices through new spy policies and laws. On Sunday, as more than 3 million people flooded the streets of Paris in support of the free speech principles that Charlie Hebdo embodied, a group of 12 European ministers issued a joint statement calling for internet service providers to more swiftly report and remove online material that aims to incite hatred and terror. Establishing a framework to enhance police work and intelligence sharing concerning the actions of alleged terrorists and extremists, the joint statement from 12 European ministers and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder declares the intent to: counter violent extremism and fight against radicalization, notably on the Internet, in part through the swift reporting [and removal] of material that aims to incite hatred and terror. Meanwhile, it aims to beef up European border control, step up the detection and screening of travel movements and enhance law enforcement, particularly in working to reduce the supply of illegal firearms throughout Europe. Although the statement takes a vow of respect and scrupulous observance of fundamental freedoms, a forum for free expression, in full respect of the law, it doesnt hold much water with the focus on new surveillance and police powers to chill free speech in the name of fighting radicalization. It seems the terrorists have once again won before the fight has even begun. The irony should be perfectly palpable, but instead leaders in Europe and the U.S. seem oblivious to the fact that they are, pound for pound, violating many more rights than the terrorists ever could yet they are not exactly stopping and catching terrorists either. (As a side note, in case the Europeans dont know, Eric Holder is a pretty poor partner in the effort to reduce the supply of illegal firearms, since he was caught deliberately arming Mexican drug cartels in the Fast and Furious scandal). The spirit of freedom is hardly embodied by the leaders of the so-called free world. As Ron Paul noted: The mainstream media immediately decided that the shooting was an attack on free speech. Many in the US preferred this version of they hate us because we are free, which is the claim that President Bush made after 9/11. They expressed solidarity with the French and vowed to fight for free speech. But have these people not noticed that the First Amendment is routinely violated by the US government? Another lesson from the attack is that the surveillance state that has arisen since 9/11 is very good at following, listening to, and harassing the rest of usbut is not very good at stopping terrorists. Specifically, France has already proposed new terrorism-surveillance laws despite have just passed legislation for new powers in November while the Anglo powers are meeting to ramp up security and UK Prime Minister David Cameron has proposed ridiculous and draconian powers to breach encrypted communications. Unfortunately, it is par for the course. Problem-reaction-solution. Quite often, when attacks happen, fear sets in, and forces antithetical to freedom set in, attempting to control and protect society, failing profoundly while trampling over societys most cherished values. America lived through an entire decade of this nightmare after 9/11. Jillian York, of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, commented: Nearly every major terrorist attack in the past couple of decades has been followed by new legislation of some kind. France just pushed through new anti-terror regulations in November, and the [prime minister] is already saying that more will be necessary. Where does it stop? These politicians havent demonstrated the need for more surveillance, yet its always their go-to solution. Mass surveillance doesnt only infringe on our privacy, but also our ability to speak freely. The knowledge, or even the perception of surveillance, can prompt writers to think twice before touching upon a given issue. It seems that, egged on by the horror of terrorism, all the governments are capable of doing is more spying, surveillance, invasion of privacy and repression even though it clearly doesnt work. From the Verge: [I]nstead of trying to address problems with the existing expansive surveillance powers, governments merely see these crises and fearful times as an opportunity to simply to ask for more, Mike Rispoli, spokesman for the London-based watchdog Privacy International, wrote in a blog post Tuesday. Short of creating a society in which thoughts themselves are monitored and controlled by the State, no amount of surveillance powers endowed upon our governments can ensure that all acts of fanaticism and violence can be predicted and prevented. UK Prime Minister David Cameron actually proposed banning encryption as a response to the Hebdo Charlie attacks and caught a wave of criticism from the tech savvy who now run the consumer and computing world. Prime Minister David Cameron said the government should be allowed to read encrypted messages on smartphone apps like WhatsApp and Snapchat, adding that the Paris attacks proved the need for greater government access. Experts say an outright ban on these apps wouldnt be wise or even feasible, but privacy advocates say Camerons comments speak to larger, more troubling trends. Chastised as being both draconian and dim-witted, Camerons proposed policy is noted as both ill-thought out and scary at the same time a true government mix of idiocy and draconian. Cameron stated in his speech: In extremis, it has been possible to read someones letter, to listen to someones call, to mobile communications, Cameron said. The question remains: are we going to allow a means of communications where it simply is not possible to do that? My answer to that question is: no, we must not. As the Guardian reported: Independent computer security expert Graham Cluley said: Its crazy. Cameron is living in cloud cuckoo land if he thinks that this is a sensible idea, and no it wouldnt be possible to implement properly. Encryption is the backbone of security that allows modern banking, commerce and communication in the digital world. Encryption is what protects your private details when you send your bank details to a server. Its required for governments and companies when they store customer information, to protect it from hackers and others. And its built right in to whole hosts of messaging applications, including iMessage and WhatsApp. Tech firms are obviously not going to do business without encryption, so they are instead making preparations to leave the UK if this becomes policy, or likewise, to stop doing business in the UK if British laws would keep global firms from operating as usual. Eris Industries, which uses open-source cryptography, has said it is already making plans to leave the UK if the Conservative party is re-elected with this policy in its programme. It is true that terrorists use encryption, much as in real life they use bank accounts, locks, money transfer services and public transport. If the presence of terrorists on a given service is reason enough to shut it down, well find theres really no form of civil society left to defend. We must avoid knee jerk reactions, said Graham. In particular, I am concerned about any compromising of effective encryption for consumers of online services. Citizens, businesses, and nation states need to protect themselves. Internet companies are understandably offering their customers online services that are better encrypted following recent security incidents, said Graham. The Open Rights Group stated: Camerons plans appear dangerous, ill-thought out and scary, said Jim Killock, director of the Open Rights Group. Having the power to undermine encryption will have consequences for everyones personal security. It could affect not only our personal communications but also the security of sensitive information such as bank records, making us all more vulnerable to criminal attacks. Wow that is some civil liberties blowback. Enough to take us back a few notches in the Internet era and make a visit to the dark ages.

2	The Air Force May Be Not Exist Much Longer Because Of... It was only a few years ago when a pair of U.S. Air Force B-1 bombers took off from their base in South Dakota to the launch the air campaign in Libya. Now, many in the Air Force are questioning whether a similar mission could even be accomplished, given the years of budget cuts under Obama. The U.S. Air Force is now short 4,000 airmen needed to maintain its fleet, and short 700 pilots to fly them, and are always not able to get their hands on the spare parts needed to keep their jets in the air. Its not only the personnel that are tired, its the aircraft that are tired as well, Master Sgt. Bruce Pfrommer told reporters. He has over two decades of experience in the Air Force working on B-1 bombers. Fox News visited two U.S. Air Force bases, including South Dakotas Ellsworth Air Force Base, located 35 miles from Mount Rushmore, in order to see the resource problems first-hand. Many Airmen reported feeling burnt out and exhausted due to current operations and limited research. In fact, Fox News was told only about half of the 28th Bomb Wings fleet of bombers can actually fly. We have only 20 aircraft assigned on station currently, Pfrommer commented. Out of those 20, only nine are flyable. What do you think? Is it time for Obama to start investing in the men and women who fight to protect our country each day. 
1	Though officials apparently assumed they would get away with a deeply corrupt inside deal Tuesday, this mornings edition of The selfnews confirmed that one news organizationand only one news organizationhad been onto them all along. I honestly thought no one would have the guts or the expertise to report on such a complex story, said Washington lobbyist Lawrence Cade, who, as a result of the articles clarity and emotional depthsomething rarely seen in political reportingwas arrested Monday along with a group of 26 others, including House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. I should have known the one news source that takes its responsibility as watchdog and gatekeeper more seriously than anyone else would have been working on this shocking story from the moment I picked up the phone and called the CEO of Monsanto. Government officials who were taken into custody told reporters they would plead guilty to all charges, saying it would be impossible to find any holes in The selfnewss coverage of the illicit plot. 
1	Area resident Dwayne Pafko, 27, went out and got his ass totally creamed by a big old bus Monday. EMS workers load Dwayne Pafko (inset) into an ambulance after he was hit by a big old honkin' bus. 'There he was, just walkin' out into the middle of the road like a goddamned idiot, when all of a sudden this huge-ass bus comes along and... blammo!' said eyewitness Mario Loyola, smacking his fist into his palm to illustrate his account of the accident. 'I was all like, 'Hey, dumbass, watch where you're going. What are you trying to do, get yourself killed?' But he just looked at me like some sap, and meanwhile, this big freakin' bus barrels down on him like a ton of bricks, and then it's too late.' 'Big ol' bus,' added Loyola, outstretching his arms as far as he can to indicate the vehicle's enormous size. Sources reported that Pafko, who recently lost his job at Grainger's Gas 'N' Snack for forgetting to restock the beverage cooler, was hit full-on by the huge-ass bus, which smacked the holy living shit out of him and sent him flying maybe, like, say, a good 10, 20 feet or so. According to police who arrived on the scene, Pafko is lucky to be alive. 'I couldn't believe it,' Sgt. Jean Christensen said. 'When the call came in from dispatch saying that some moron had just strolled out in front of an oncoming bus, my partner and I were like, 'Come on, what is this, a joke?' But when we got there, sure enough, there he was, just laying there face-flat on the asphalt, right smack-dab in the middle of the damn road. I practically shit. It just didn't seem possible that anyone could be that clueless, but, apparently, this guy was one dim bulb.' Pafko was rushed to Harrisburg Lutheran Hospital, where doctors describe his condition as 'pretty fucked-up.' Doctors, however, say his prognosis is actually halfway decent, which comes as a surprise to many, considering the fact that a goddamn bus just plowed into him. 'For a guy who just got his face pureed by the grill of a bus, he's doing better than one would expect. If all goes well, we may be able to upgrade his condition to merely 'seriously fucked-up' by week's end,' said Harrisburg Lutheran chief of staff Dr. Nelson Hoyt, who, along with three other doctors, spent six grueling hours in surgery saving Pafko's sorry ass. 'He should survive. That is, as long as he doesn't decide to walk out in front of any more buses in the next few weeks. Hello? Get with it, people!' 'How the hell does somebody manage to get themselves hit by a big ol' honkin' bus like that in the first place?' Hoyt asked. 'I mean, what, he didn't notice? The thing's only about the size of a freakin' freight train, for Christ's sake. This Pafko fellow isn't exactly the most on-the-ball character you'll ever meet. You know, even pigeons know to get out of the way of a damn bus.' Police said quick thinking on the part of the bus driver may have saved Pafko's life. Gregory Peete, a 15-year veteran of Harrisburg's public transportation department, said he spotted Pafko in his path just moments before impact. 'I look down and, suddenly, out of nowhere, there's this dipshit walking right out in front of me like I don't even know what,' Peete said. 'The first thought that flashed through my mind was, 'Jesus, what does this guy think he's trying to do?' So I blast the horn, just to send a subtle little message, as in, 'By the way, sir, huge bus comin' through over here, just in case you wanted to, say, step aside or something.' But no such luck. He just stood there and looked around like, 'Duh?' So, finally, once it was obvious that Smart Guy wasn't going to get out of the way, I hit the brakes.' 'Unfortunately,' Peete said, 'we were moving pretty fast, and I couldn't stop. I'm not a miracle worker, you know.' Emily Pafko, the dipshit's wife, spoke to reporters early this morning about the near-fatal accident. 'Well, I gotta admit, I wasn't exactly shocked. He's always doing stupid, no-brained shit like that,' she said. 'What was he thinking? Did he wake up Monday morning and say, 'Hey! I've got a brilliant idea: I think I'll go walk into the path of a bus and get myself pounded completely flat today!'?' The accident has stunned others, as well, including area resident Gregory Lundeen, who furrowed his brow and blew a long, low whistle after being told the story while waiting in line at the grocery store. Harrisburg College junior Jonathan Neimuhr was equally taken aback, telling his roommates, 'Guys! Did you hear? Some dude totally got, like, whomped by a bus today!' Though the accident has raised issues of traffic safety at the intersection where Pafko got creamed, local authorities have no plans to implement any new safety measures at this time. 'It's a street. What do you honestly expect us to do?' city councilman Gordon Hutchinson said. 'Should we put up a sign reading, 'Please Do Not Walk Out In Front Of Any Huge Oncoming Buses Here To Corner'? I mean, sure, we could do that, I guess, but I'd like to think most people would already know to avoid that type of thing. Can you believe this guy? Geez, what a dumbass.' 
3	21 Signs That The UK Is Being Transformed Into A Hellish Big Brother Surveillance SocietyMichael Snyder, Contributor The UK truly is on the cutting edge when it comes to implementing liberty-killing rules and regulations. Many have pointed out that the United States is becoming a Big Brother police state, but the truth is that the UK is even worse. The madness going on in the UK is where the rest of the world is headed. Right now, there are more surveillance cameras per capita in the UK than anywhere else in the world. If you accidentally drop a couple of potato chips in public, or if you whisper a phrase that is not politically correct in a restaurant there is a good chance that you will be hauled into court. In the UK, the public has been sold the lie that society will be better off if everything and everyone is constantly monitored. But instead of improving society, what all of this surveillance is really doing is turning the entire nation into a very frightening version of George Orwells 1984. Sadly, most of the rest of the globe is going down the exact same path that the UK has gone. The UK is several years ahead of most of the rest of us, but eventually almost every nation on earth will be just like them. #1 A new UK law will allow the government listening agency to openly monitor all phone calls, all emails, all website visits, all Facebook status updates and all text messages. The following is from a recent article in the Telegraph. Under legislation expected in next months Queens Speech, internet companies will be instructed to install hardware enabling GCHQ the Governments electronic listening agency to examine on demand any phone call made, text message and email sent, and website accessed in real time, The Sunday Times reported. #2 Police in the UK use advanced software that enables them to track the digital footprints of virtually anyone that they want to investigate. The following is how one news report in the UK described this software. The Metropolitan Police has bought Geotime, a security programme used by the U.S. military which tracks suspects movements and communications and displays them on a three-dimensional graphic. The software aggregates information gathered from social networking sites, GPS devices like the iPhone, mobile phones, financial transactions and IP network logs to build a detailed picture of an individuals movements. #3 In the UK there is a three strikes rule that allows your entire family to be cut off from the Internet if anyone who lives in your house is accused of copyright infringement three times. #4 In the UK, free speech on the Internet is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. A recent UK government report calls for Internet service providers to remove as much extremist material from the Internet as possible. The following is an excerpt from that report. The Counter-Terrorism Internet Referral Unit does limited but valuable work in challenging internet service providers to remove violent extremist material where it contravenes the law. We suggest that the Government work with internet service providers in the UK to develop a Code of Conduct committing them to removing violent extremist material, as defined for the purposes of section 3 of the Terrorism Act 2006. Many relevant websites are hosted abroad: the Government should also therefore strive towards greater international cooperation to tackle this issue. #5 In the UK, citizens are instructed that those that hold anti-government beliefs are potential terrorists and that they should be reported to the authorities immediately. #6 In the UK there are more surveillance cameras per capita than anywhere else on the entire planet. It has been estimated that there are at least 4.8 million surveillance cameras constantly watching every move that citizens make. #7 Under new government plans, cameras at UK gas stations will automatically stop any vehicles that do not have insurance or that are not up to date on taxes from being filled with fuel. #8 In the UK, it is legal for local governments to assign agents to follow citizens secretly without any judicial oversight whatsoever. #9 There are thousands upon thousands of dysfunctional families in the UK that are being subjected to intensive 24-hour video surveillance to make sure that their children attend school, go to bed on time and eat proper meals. #10 In the UK, police can demand to see your identification at any time for any reason that they want. #11 Did you think that future crime was just something Tom Cruise had to worry about in the movies? Well, police in the UK are reportedly very interested in implementing predictive policing techniques in an attempt to get a better handle on crime. #12 Tens of thousands of parents who homeschool their own children in the UK have been forced to undergo criminal background checks before being allowed to do so. #13 Parents at one school in the UK were forced to undergo criminal background checks to prove that they were not pedophiles before they were allowed to accompany their own children to school Christmas events. #14 In the UK, if you preach against sin in public there is a good chance that you will be convicted of a hate crime. #15 Christian ministers in the UK have been told that trying to preach Christianity in an area that is primarily Muslim is essentially a hate crime. #16 Simply playing the Bible in public is enough to get you into trouble with the law in the UK. For example, police once threatened a cafe owner with arrest for silently playing a Bible DVD on a small television on the back wall of his cafe. The following is an excerpt from a Daily Mail article about this incident. Mr Murray, 31, was left shocked after he was questioned for nearly an hour by the officers, who arrived unannounced at the premises. He said he had turned off the Bible DVD after an aggressive inquisition during which he thought he was going to be arrested and frog-marched out of the cafe like a criminal. #17 In the UK, it is now illegal to photograph the police for any reason whatsoever. #18 In the UK, if you do not dispose of your trash correctly, or if you do not recycle properly, you can be hit with huge fines. In fact, right now millions of UK citizens actually have microchips in their garbage bins which track their disposal activities. #19 One 79-year-old retiree in the UK was told that she would be required to have three warning signs, a lookout and a fluorescent safety jacket if she wanted to continue to work on her garden. #20 Government officials in the UK seem absolutely obsessed with gathering information on young children. The following example is from an article in the Register. The government obsession with collecting data has now extended to five-year-olds, as local Community Health Services get ready to arm-twist parents into revealing the most intimate details of their own and their childs personal, behavioural and eating habits. The questionnaire or School Entry Wellbeing Review is a four-page tick-box opus, at present being piloted in Lincolnshire, requiring parents to supply over 100 different data points about their own and their offsprings health. Previously, parents received a Health Record on the birth of a child, which contained around eight questions which needed to be answered when that child started school. #21 Tens of thousands of kids in the UK are being branded as racist or homophobic and are being put into permanent databases just for using common playground insults. The following comes from an article by Paul Joseph Watson. Over 30,000 British schoolchildren, some as young as three, have had their names registered on a government database and branded racist or homophobic for using playground insults, infractions that could impact their future careers. In the old days, we were all taught that totalitarian police states such as North Korea, Nazi Germany and the USSR were bad. But now we are being taught thattotalitarian police states are good. These days we are told that society works better when control freaks are watching, tracking, monitoring and recording virtually everything that we do. Sadly, advances in technology now make it possible for governments to track and control all of us to a far greater degree than dictators in the past ever dreamed was possible. With each passing year, the control grids get tighter and we lose even more liberty and freedom. If we do not stand up for liberty and freedom while we still can, eventually it will be too late. Please speak out and let your voice be heard. We simply cannot afford to let the control freaks win. This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

3	800+ major corporations and U.S. Chamber of Commerce support internet freedom-crushing CISPAMadison Ruppert, Contributor Please take a moment out of your day to either share this article or at least the list of corporations behind this legislation in order to help coordinate a boycott effort. I believe it would also be beneficial to call them repeatedly (inundating their phone lines can be a major headache), shower them with emails, letters, etc. all in an attempt to get them to back away from CISPA. Widespread protest efforts were quite successful in bringing down the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), but now we have to keep in mind that many of the corporations who were anti-SOPA are actually pro-CISPA. This means that the public will have to be engaged to a much more significant degree in order to have an impact even remotely comparable to what we saw in opposition to SOPA and the Protect IP Act (PIPA). SOPA actually required private corporations to keep tabs on all of their user activity and made them liable for their users and their activities. CISPA, on the other hand, shifts that responsibility away from the private corporations completely and hands that role over to a government entity. This makes it so corporations are protected from lawsuits from a user who has their private information given to the government under CISPA. Now Im sure you can see why companies like Google (which protested SOPA in a quite visible manner) and Facebook (which also voiced opposition to SOPA) are champing at the bit to get behind CISPA. CISPA would allow ISPs, social networking sites and anyone else handling Internet communications to monitor users and pass information to the government without any judicial oversight, according to the Activism Director for the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), Rainey Reitman. The language of this bill is dangerously vague, so that personal online activity from the mundane to the intimate could be implicated. What exactly does dangerously vague mean, you ask? Well, the EFF has done a fantastic job of explaining exactly what they mean. CISPA would allow access to any information regarding a cyber threat is granted to the government, privacy security agencies and private companies. CISPAs definition of a cyber threat is as follows: In this context, misappropriation means wrongful borrowing and intellectual property means anything protected by a copyright including programs like Photoshop and Microsoft Office, MP3s, television shows and movies, and absolutely anything in between. The purposefully vague language of CISPA leaves room for abuse in the following ways (according to this informative infographic from the EFF): The EFF graphic aptly sums it up by saying, Privacy policy? LOL. Any existing legal protections of user privacy will be usurped by CISPA. The bill clearly states that the information may be shared notwithstanding any other provision of law, they add. Recently, Joel Kaplan, Facebooks vice president for U.S. public policy, attempted to reassure users. In my opinion, he failed miserably in attempting to say that it only would allow them to share information about possible cyber attacks while not forcing any new data sharing obligations, adding: [W]e recognize that a number of privacy and civil liberties groups have raised concerns about the bill in particular about provisions that enable private companies to voluntarily share cyber threat data with the government. The concern is that companies will share sensitive personal information with the government in the name of protecting cybersecurity. Facebook has no intention of doing this and it is unrelated to the things we liked about HR 3523 in the first place the additional information it would provide us about specific cyber threats to our systems and users. EFF shot back in a quite thorough blog post entitled, What Facebook Wants in Cybersecurity Doesnt Require Trampling On Our Privacy Rights. They note that the government can already share information about supposed cyber threats with corporations like Facebook without any of the CISPA provisions that allow companies to routinely monitor private communications and share personal user data gleaned from those communications with the government. They also make it very clear that they do not trust Facebooks claims in writing: But lets be clear: Internet users dont want promises from companies not to intercept our private communications and share that data with one another and the government. We want strong laws that make such egregious privacy violations illegal, that require the government to follow legal process (judicial oversight in most case), and that allow us or the government to sue persons who break the law. Ironically, hard-won, long-standing privacy lawslike the Wiretap Act and the Electronic Communications Privacy Actalready exist, although they are by no means ideal. There are already too many exceptions that allow the government to gain access to sensitive user data. But CISPA would upend these existing legal protections and leave the door wide open to companies handing sensitive personal information to the government without so much as a subpoena, let alone a warrant. Considered together, this information paints nothing short of a disturbing picture. With Silicon Valleys data mining capabilities more sophisticated than ever before, and with many peoples information being captured without their knowledge or consent, the information that will be readily available is almost incomprehensible in its scope. The house will be voting on CISPA on April 23 and I highly recommend that you make an effort to put this legislation down before we see even more of our rights trampled on by our tyrannical federal government.

3	HAARP Technology 2.0 Wrecking Our Environment?Peter A. Kirby Way back in 1995, when the seminal book by Dr. Nick Begich and Jeane Manning Angels Dont Play this HAARP was released, the putative inventor of HAARP, Dr. Bernard Eastlund, speculated that it is entirely possible that such technology had already been miniaturized. Aviation Week reported in 2008 that an airborne version of HAARP had been developed which is towed behind a helicopter. The Sea-based X-band Radar (SBX) floating platform utilizes HAARP technology. Here is the Wikipedia listing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea-based_X-band_Radar Little HAARPs modifying the local weather? Scientists at the University of California Los Angeles and the High Power Auroral Stimulation (HIPAS) Observatory in Alaska have assembled a new generation of ionospheric heaters. This technology, known as Hertzian antennas, can, match or exceed the peak power of the new HAARP system for a fraction of its cost. Though most implementations are not capable of producing all of the complex, phased signals produced by facilities like HAARP at Gakona, Alaska or the antenna array at Jicamarca, Peru. An effective Hertzian antenna could fit in a good-sized back yard. All these antennas could be controlled from a central location such as Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. This proposed scenario jibes with the scientists at the HAARP facility who say that their ionospheric heater antenna array goes largely unused. If a network of smaller antennas across the country is handling the day-to-day dirty work, then the HAARP array may only be used occasionally for big jobs such as the Japan earthquake or hurricane Sandy. EMF generators over earthquake fault lines? This image was captured from Google Earth: An expert in the field of electromagnetic energy, who wishes to remain anonymous, tells me that this may be an electromagnetic (VLF) antenna installed over a fault line. It could be used in conjunction with other similar facilities to set off a major earthquake. Great financial and political gain may be achieved through disasters such as earthquakes. In the catastrophe reinsurance market, one can make a lot of money from a disaster. Governments have been known to seize power through declarations of emergency and subsequent relief efforts. Light from the gods My informant also mentioned current research into how ionospheric heaters such as HAARP could be used in combination to create atmospheric ionization paths which can be used as a lightning weapon capable of completely destroying individuals or vast areas. Maybe the original purpose of Raytheon is to come up with just such a weapon. Raytheon means light from the gods. Raytheon acquired E-Systems; the company that built HAARP. Dr. Judy Wood in her book Where Did the Towers Go?, documents 1400 burned cars up to one half mile away from ground zero. Nothing else near them was damaged. Trees still had leaves on them. There were reams of unburned sheets of paper. But no humans were burned; though they were covered with ash. The exceptional thing about the cars, she notes, was the fact that they were not grounded while everything else was. Was some sort of electromagnetic weapon used on 9/11? If so, how did cave dwellers from Afghanistan get one of those?

1	Local resident Stan Blaskowitz, a self-described 'sports fanatic,' was crushed and killed Sunday, when his seven-foot, 900-pound home entertainment center fell on him during the final seconds of a televised Green Bay Packers game. Stan Blaskowitz, 19651996 'It was horrible,' said friend and neighbor Bill Gustafson, who was a witness to the tragic accident. 'I think the Pack could really go all the way this year.' According to Outagamie County coroners, Blaskowitz and several other Green Bay faithful decided to watch the game on Blaskowitz's living room television set because of its state-of-the-art nature, boasting a 27-inch screen, a built-in digital satellite system and stereo Surround Sound. Ironically, these were the same factors that coroners say contributed to his death by crushing. According to eyewitness accounts, the fatal accident occurred during the closing seconds of the fourth quarter. Blaskowitz, a longtime forklift operator at the Kimberly-Clark paper mill, was kneeling on the carpet in front of the entertainment center, having been pulled from his chair by the dramatic events he saw unfolding on the TV screen. As Packers quarterback Brett Favre dropped back to attempt a game-winning touchdown pass, he stumbled in the face of a ferocious blitz, prompting an anxious Blaskowitz to pound the floor repeatedly with his fists. The entertainment center, which was probably already unbalanced due to an earlier mass celebration of Packer safety LeRoy Butler's third-quarter interception, plummeted down on Blaskowitz's head. 'It was horrible,' said Christine Junker, a friend of Blaskowitz's who was on the couch at the time of the accident. 'The TV hit Stan right on the top of his skull, and it just shatteredpieces of the picture tube were everywhere. We didn't know if Favre had gotten the pass off, if he was able to scramble out-of-bounds and stop the clock with enough time to get another play off, or if, God forbid, he was sacked.' Emergency medical technicians soon arrived on the scene to assist Blaskowitz's panicked companions, but their efforts to restore the television's failing reception were in vain. 'We got the radio working again,' ambulance driver Greg Stuckney said. 'But we couldn't find the Green Bay Packer Radio Network. I was trying to get something on AM when I noticed the blood.' Blaskowitz was pronounced dead at the scene. 'Stan was a true fan,' Gustafson said. 'He died the way he lived, the way we should all strive to live, on his knees with a Schlitz TallBoy in one hand and the remote in the other, begging for the return of the glory days we all saw under Lombardi.' Added Gustafson: 'The Pack is back in '96!' Blaskowitz's friends and family will gather in a small ceremony at his house this Thursday to tell Packer stories and prepare Blaskowitz's wide-screen television for transferral to Fred's TV and Electronics Repair Emporium in nearby Waupaca, where it will await factory-authorized service alongside the deceased's other entertainment center components. As of press time, Gustafson remained optimistic that Blaskowitz's entertainment center would be repaired in time for the Packers' appearance on Monday Night Football against Dallas in November. 'Stan would have wanted it that way,' he said. 
1	An uneasy voice inside the head of cheering Libyan rebel Ahmed Jibril reportedly said, 'Oh, fuck, now what?' Wednesday as the jubilant fighter celebrated the downfall of Muammar Qaddafi. 'Uh-oh, what happens now? Seriously, what the fuck happens now?' said the interior monologue of the smiling man who stood atop the roof of Qaddafi's former compound screaming 'Freedom is ours!' and pumping his fist. 'There's a massive power vacuum, and looking around, I don't really see anyone who's going to fill it. It's certainly not going to be me, I'll tell you that much. Is this country going to descend into chaos? Please, please, please don't let that happen. Someone just needs to tell me what our next step is right now or I'm seriously going to flip the fuck out.' The voice inside the head of the man who exultantly fired three machine gun bursts into the air quickly added, 'Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.' 
3	West Conjures Fake Syrian GovernmentSmokescreen meant to cover open-backing of foreign Al Qaeda terrorists inside Syria, while panicking disrupting Syrian unity. Predictably, the Western arranged confab in Doha, Qatar has seen the selection and approval by the US and its allies of a new opposition coalition to serve as the face of militants fighting inside Syria. This was in response to overwhelming international condemnation to what has become an open proxy war fought against Syria by Western interests and its regional allies. It is a repeat of the now catastrophically failed NATO intervention in Libya that has left the nation mired in genocidal sectarian and tribal violence, a weak, ineffectual client-regime, and human rights abuses dwarfing in reality, the now confirmed fabrications used by NATO ahead of military operations early in 2011. France and the Arab League have already reapplied their stamp of approval on the new coalition, following their support for the same political front they have attempted to prop up for the last nearly 2 years. Coalition is Smoke Screen for state Sponsorship of Terrorism. Beginning at least as early as 2007, the West and its allies, primarily the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia, began quietly organizing, funding, and arming a regional front of sectarian extremists across the Arab World to be used against Lebanon, Syria, and Iran. Exposed in Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hershs The Redirection, published that same year in the New Yorker, it was revealed that many of these sectarian extremists were in fact affiliated directly with Al Qaeda. In essence, the West would be intentionally and knowingly funding the very adversaries Western troops had just spent the better part of a decade allegedly fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq, and upon lesser known battlefields in Somalia, Pakistan, and Yemen, as part of the War on Terror. From the very beginning of the so-called Arab Spring, armed elements were active in Syria actively seeking to widen what was the final execution of 2007s plans to undermine and overthrow first Syria, then Lebanon and finally Iran. The so-called Syrian National Council (SNC), as well as street protests and online activism served as but a smokescreen for what was in reality an invasion of Syria by Western armed and backed foreign extremists sent to augment Muslim Brotherhood militants prevalent in the Dara, Idlib, and Dayr Al-Zawr regions of Syria also coincidentally the cradles of the current so-called revolution. The influx of foreign fighters spiked after NATO had finally succeeded in 2011 at overthrowing the government of Libya and placing into power militants from the eastern city of Benghazi. It was from Benghazi that an overwhelming proportion of Al Qaeda fighters had be sent to fight in Iraq during the US occupation. Like in Syria, the cradle for the so-called Libyan revolution was also coincidentally the epicenter for extremist activity. In Libyas case, Benghazi served as the center for the the US State Department, United Nations, and the UK Home Office (page 5, .pdf)-listed terror organization, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG). This was documented extensively in the West Point Combating Terrorism Center reports, Al-Qaidas Foreign Fighters in Iraq and Bombers, Bank Accounts and Bleedout: al-Qaidas Road In and Out of Iraq. Both reports exposed Libya as a global epicenter for Al Qaeda training and recruitment, producing more fighters per capita than even Saudi Arabia, and producing more foreign fighters numerically than any other nation that sent militants to Iraq, except Saudi Arabia itself. Image: Libya, despite its relatively small population, came in second overall, producing foreign fighters to wage sectarian war in Iraq. Libya exceeded all other nations per capita in producing foreign fighters, including Al Qaedas primary patrons, Saudi Arabia. These diagrams were produced by West Points Combating Terrorism Center, on pages 8 and 9 of its Al-Qaidas Foreign Fighters in Iraq report. The reports specifically identify eastern Libya (Cyrenaica) as terrorist hotbeds, precisely where the so-called 2011 pro-democracy revolution also began, and where most of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafis attention had been focused over the course of at least three decades, fighting militant extremists. The cities of Darnah, Tobruk, and Benghazi in particular fielded the vast majority of foreign fighters sent to Iraq and also served as the very epicenter for the 2011 violent, NATO-backed uprising. Clearly, the US military and the US government were both well aware of the heavy Al Qaeda presence in eastern Libya since as early as 2007. When violence flared up in 2011, it was clear to many geopolitical analysts that it was the result of Al Qaeda, not pro-democracy protesters. The US government, its allies, and a the Western press willfully lied to the public, misrepresented its case to the United Nations and intervened in Libya on behalf of international terrorists, overthrowing a sovereign government, and granting an entire nation as a base of operations for the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG). A similar scenario is now playing out in Syria, where the West, despite acknowledging the existence of Al Qaeda in Benghazi, Libya, is using these militants, and the exact same networks used to send fighters to Iraq, to flood into and overrun Syria. This, after these very same Libyan militants were implicated in an attack that left a US ambassador dead on September 11, 2012. LIFG terrorists are documented to be flooding into Syria from Libya. In November 2011, the Telegraph in their article, Leading Libyan Islamist met Free Syrian Army opposition group, would report: Another Telegraph article, Libyas new rulers offer weapons to Syrian rebels, would admit Later that month, some 600 Libyan terrorists would be reported to have entered Syria to begin combat operations and have been flooding into the country ever since. Image: (Left) West Points Combating Terrorism Centers 2007 report, Al-Qaidas Foreign Fighters in Iraq also indicated which areas in Syria Al Qaeda fighters filtering into Iraq came from. The overwhelming majority of them came from Dayr Al-Zawr in Syrias southeast, Idlib in the north near the Turkish-Syrian border, and Dara in the south near the Jordanian-Syrian border. (Right) A map indicating the epicenters of violence in Syria indicate that the exact same hotbeds for Al Qaeda in 2007, now serve as the epicenters of so-called pro-democracy fighters. In Syria, the southeastern region near Dayr Al-Zawr on the Iraqi-Syrian border, the northwestern region of Idlib near the Turkish-Syrian border, and Dara in the south near the Jordanian-Syrian border, produced the majority of fighters found crossing over into Iraq, according to the 2007 West Point study. These regions now serve as the epicenter for a similar Libyan-style uprising, with fighters disingenuously portrayed as pro-democracy freedom fighters. These are also the locations receiving the majority of foreign fighters flowing in from other areas described in the 2007 report, mainly from Saudi Arabia via Jordan, and from Libya, either directly, through Turkey, or through Egypt and/or Jordan. The CIA is confirmed to be operating in these areas, allegedly to help keep weapons out of the hands of fighters allied with Al Qaeda or other terrorist groups, according to the New York Times in their article, C.I.A. Said to Aid in Steering Arms to Syrian Opposition. Even as the West postures as if only now weapons will begin flowing to the new opposition coalition, militants in Syria have been receiving Western backing, funding, and arms through a variety of networks, years before the so-called Arab Spring had even begun, and certainly well before this current juncture in the conflict. However thus far, clearly to no avail. The West, primarily the US, UK, and France, its NATO ally Turkey, and the Persian Gulf monarchies of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, are intentionally assisting known terrorists in the overthrow of the sovereign, secular government of Syria a repeat of the now clearly failed, and already backfiring NATO intervention in Libya. In fact, the exact same terrorists the US claims it is hunting in the deserts of Libya for having killed its ambassador, now stand poised in Syria to receive expanded political recognition and military support from the West after this latest round of window dressing in Doha, Qatar. International support has waned significantly for the West and its narrative. The tepid support the West garnered for its military operations in Libya seem now a long-lost luxury. The SNC itself is politically, tactically, socially, culturally, and above all ideologically disconnected with both the fighters in Syria, as well as any legitimate opposition that may exist. While the SNC consists of Syrians, many of the fighters in Syria are in fact foreign militants who hold an allegiance to Saudi Wahhabism, opposed by even many of the current Syrian governments critics critics who also denounce the SNC and their calls for foreign intervention. In coordination with this political charade, Israel and Turkey have been pressing the borders of Syria. Turkey, led by the government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoan, has allowed its territory along the border with Syria to be used as a sanctuary and staging ground for foreign terrorists entering into and fighting against the government and people of Syria. Israel has recently been firing at Syrian forces conducting security operations against militants in the Golan Heights. The two-pronged encroachment by Turkey and Israel is not the spontaneous response by both nations to an escalating conflict on the ground. Rather it was prescribed, verbatim, by corporate-financier funded policy think-tank, the Brookings Institution, in their report, Assessing Options for Regime Change as a means of increasing psychological pressure on Syria. The report states specifically: The prospect of foreign military intervention, or NATOs already depleted terrorist forces succeeding even with increased weapon shipments from the West, is still unlikely. As Brookings indicates, much of what is being done is aimed at psychologically undermining the stalwart defense thus far put up by the Syrian government and its people. The fear of possible military intervention and/or the increase in terrorist capabilities is meant to splinter the Syrian populations overwhelming support and unity against what is now clearly foreign aggression, not rebellion. Likewise, the seemingly unstoppable advance of Western aggression against Syria is meant to undermine the support of Syrias allies. Western aggression however has already reached its limits and while it could embark upon a wider military confrontation with Syria, should both the Syrian people and Syrias allies remain committed to the defense of the nations sovereignty, not only will this aggression fail, it will create momentum that will roll the West and its extraterritorial interests back significantly, if not entirely. Unity is still Syrias only option. Tony Cartaluccis articles have appeared on many alternative media websites, including his own at Land Destroyer Report.

3	EU creates pro-democracy regime change slush fund to fight tyrantsMadison Ruppert, Contributor While regime change has been big business for quite a while, in recent years it has been kicked up a notch or two thanks to the covert activities of groups of terrorist operatives like al Qaeda, the MEK, and armed opposition groups which are used to destabilize foreign governments which refuse to bow down before the Western powers. Furthermore, considering the global expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), it is hardly surprising that such a fund was created to be used to overtly undermine sovereign nations. According to Charter 97, the fund will likely be up and operational by as early as next year. It will mostly be leveraged to target the nations on the edge of the European Union who have not been so friendly to NATO and Western demands in general. Such a nation is Belarus where President Alexander Lukashenko runs a nation where individuals are allegedly routinely jailed for showing opposition. While we also see such activities in so-called free nations like assassinations and the brutal, coordinated nationwide crackdown on the Occupy movement; it appears that only nations unfriendly to the West seem to be the focus of media criticism. The funds cannot be applied for; instead the distribution is determined by European Union bureaucrats located in Brussels. It doesnt take a genius to see that this is a perfect mechanism to funnel funds solely to those who the EU officials believe will serve their purposes and work for their interests in the non-EU border states. Some of the potential beneficiaries, according to Charter 97, are, Pro-democracy and social movements, young leaders, civil society, independent media, foundations and educational institutions. Of course, this does not mean pro-democracy and social movements which run counter to Western interests or young leaders who speak out against imperialism, war mongering and regime change. Instead, these funds are meant solely for those who will kowtow to the European Union, NATO, the United States, and allied nations. Take, for instance, Nasta Palazhanka, the 21-year-old Belarusian leader of the banned Youth Front organization who claims that the support from the EU could move forward their attempts to awaken the people of Belarus. Palazhanka claimed that young Belarusians often keep a low profile because they fear arbitrary and pre-emptive arrests. Sound like the United States, anyone? Unsurprisingly, no such parallels will likely ever be drawn. Lukashenka is afraid of an awakening among this indifferent mass. This is why he frequently expels students and threatens to fire their parents, claimed Palazhanka. Another voice in support of this regime change fund is Radoslaw Sikorski, the Polish foreign minister, who told reporters in Luxembourg that this new institution will carry swift and effective assistance to the nations surrounding the EU. Oddly enough, this endowment will supposedly be funded by the member states of the European Union themselves, as well as the European Commission. I find this strange since we are constantly hearing that all of these states are absolutely broke and in desperate need of bailouts. Sikorski seems quite optimistic about the institution, saying that if all goes as planned, they could choose the headquarters, appoint staff and propose programs by the end of the year. It appears that all of these efforts are in response to the recent unrest in the Middle East, as well as the color revolutions in Europe. The overthrow of autocratic regimes in Europe in 1989 and the public uprisings during the Arab Spring show that the power of the people is ultimately more significant than the people in power, said Lotte Leicht, the European Unions director of Human Rights Watch (HRW). Tomorrow, the hard work begins of turning words into action, and we will be watching to see that EU member states and institutions practice what they preach, Leicht added. All of this talk about human rights, evidenced by calls for a new EU special representative on human rights, is odd considering that there have been recent accusations of withering human rights for disabled persons in the EU. It will be interesting to see who ends up being the first nation targeted by this institution. Whichever country ends up in the crosshairs, I would not be surprised to see it quickly descend into total chaos and violence in the name of democracy. Did I forget anything or miss any errors?

2	Airline Refuses To Fly Dying 3 Year Old, So Trump Do THIS The liberal media loves to portray Donald Trump as a rich super-villain, who has little respect for women and simply doesnt care about anyone else. That would be a compelling storyif it were true. Unfortunately for liberals, Donald Trump has actually proved that he is caring and giving with his wealth. This story is just one example of that. According to recent reports, Trumps private Boeing 727 arrived at LaGuardia Airport Tuesday morning, carrying an Orthodox Jewish child with a rare and undiagnosed breathing illness. The three-year-old child was Andrew Ten, and he was accompanied by his parents and three nurses who monitor the boys condition around the clock. The boy needed to get to New York for medical attention, but commercial airlines refused to fly the child because he could not travel without a life-support system, complete with an oxygen tank, a suction machine, and an adrenaline syringe. When Trump heard of the familys difficulty he was quick to act. Mr. Trump did not hesitate when we called him up, 29-year-old Harold Ten told reporters. He said yes, Ill send my plane out. Ten then went on to describe Trump as a good man. What do you think? Is the liberal media going to ignore this story? Are you tired of hearing only one side of the story?

Man, I wish I could watch tonight, but there are four different exams I have to prepare for this week, said Wright, adding that he will only be able to periodically check the games score on his phone while cramming all night for senior forward Brice Johnsons human physiology exam. I might stream it on my laptop during the second half just to have it on in the background, but Ill probably be too busy trying to memorize equations for the stats test [small forward] Justin Jackson has on Wednesday to even pay attention to whats happening. God, this sucks. At press time, Wright was ignoring a slew of text messages from his roommate about the game while rushing to finish the 12-page European history paper junior guard Kanler Coker has due tomorrow morning. 
3	Houston Officer Investigates Open Carry Protest, Tries to Delete Cell Phone VideoMelissa Melton Much of it has to do with an overwhelming sense that our rights dont seem to matter to the cops anymore, and that they perceive ordinary citizens more like potential enemy combatants than the people these guys have supposedly sworn to protect and serve. Heres another case highlighting the fact that many officers are either in contempt of our Bill of Rights, or too ignorant to respect them. This Houston officer actually managed to encroach upon the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th Amendments all in one go. Click2News reports: Officer McFail didnt stop there. Ray Hunt, Houstons police union representation later spun the case to make it seem like a crime had been committed, rationalizing that whoever reported the open carry advocate must have felt threatened. Hunt also accused the protester of trying to create an incident with police, and then he blamed a police training issue. 
1	Gliding through the sky as part of a time-honored excursion occurring every season, a home run ball hit out of Seattles Safeco Field completed a roughly 3,000-mile journey Friday to return to its birthplace at the Rawlings factory, sources confirmed. Like scores of fellow baseballs, this home run ball has undertaken a long and arduous journey, leaving its comfortable dwelling in the Mariners ballpark to fly thousands of miles to the manufacturing plant in Costa Rica where it originated, said Louisiana State University baseball migration expert Bill Hallerton, noting that the ball joined hundreds of others hit out of Busch Stadium, Progressive Field, and Comerica Park for the final 1,300-mile leg of its trek. They all follow a familiar pattern every summer: departing their home stadiums, traversing the continental U.S., and then flying due south over the Gulf of Mexico. Its pretty amazing when you think about itno matter how far they have to travel, no matter how long and difficult their migration, the Rawlings baseballs always manage to find their way back home. Hallerton added that upon reaching the grounds of the Rawlings factory, the ball quickly spawned thousands of new baseballs, the strongest of which will head north and arrive in time for the first day of spring training.

A video of a man rallying forDonald Trumprecently surfaced, and from the sound of it, he may be one of the Republican presidential front-runners biggest fans. Obamahas failed us, the man said outside of theNorth Atlanta Trade Center in Norcross, GeorgiaSaturday. Its time for somebody to make a stand. Like Ulysses S. Grant during the Civil War, Trump is taking over the American South in a big way, and the spillover Georgia crowd was estimated at 10,000. The first time thismanvoted for a president was in 2008 for Barack Obama and the president let him down. I never voted before, he said. And I voted for [Obama] twice. He broke my heart.

3	Why Are World Leaders Acting Surprised the NSA Spies on Them?Melissa Melton For months, the entire world has been privy to one Edward Snowden leak after another. The former-NSA contractor turned whistleblower has released one shocking document after another after another (after another), painting the picture with crystal clarity that the U.S. government is officially tapping and spying on the world, including American citizens, Constitution and laws be damned. Now it has come out that the U.S. has been listening in on the phone conversations of at least 35 world leaders: The National Security Agency eavesdropped on hundreds of phone numbers belonging to dozens of world leaders, newly leaked documents supplied by former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden reveal. Britains Guardian newspaper wrote Thursday that a classified memo provided to them by Snowden suggests that the NSA encouraged officials within the United States government and intelligence community to share among their colleagues contact information pertaining to international heads of state. According to the Guardian, the memo made reference to an unnamed US official who had reportedly supplied the NSA with over 200 numbers, including 35 belonging to world leaders. (source) I wrote at least 35 world leaders because its really all of them. Why do I know that? Common sense. The better question? Why are they acting like they dont know it? How many news stories are there this week with pictures of German Chancellor Angela Merkel making a face like she just swallowed a lemon dipped in alum, holding up her NSA tapped cell phone bitterly? Yeah lady, you were spied on too. Someone give her a Tony Award for even managing to act surprised. Actually, we arent seeing shock. We arent even seeing legitimate anger at the personal realization these people are not as elite and their butts are not as firmly planted on a pedestal above the common plebs as they thoughtat least, not in the eyes of the U.S. government. Now that everyone else knows because NSA spying is front page news, these people pretty much have to act mad to keep up pretenses. Because when it comes to Uncle Sams spying, its clear it doesnt matter if you are a world leader or a bus driver from Altoona, Pennsylvania. There is no caste system, although to think they wouldnt be more interested in world leaders than the little people is just silly. Bottom line: there is no discrimination, no special differentiation. Absolutely everyone is being spied on. (In fact, that last sentence is probably engraved into one of those fancy wooden plaques hanging above the coffee maker in an NSA break room. Their theme song is probably Eye in the Sky by the Alan Parsons Project. For real.) Do you hear that, world leaders? All of you are being spied on. Please stop humoring us with feigned outrage. You arent better than anyone else when it comes to the NSA spying on you. You are not above it. Your guys are doing it, too. Everyone is. How do I know this? Am I a former NSA contractor? A genius mind-reader clairvoyant star child? Nope. Its common sense at this point. That stuff has been going on since before Snowden was even born. The word Duh! is appropriate here. The tech just got better over time. The not-too-secret writing is on the virtual wall. If Edward Snowden released a PowerPoint tomorrow that detailed how the NSA managed to put the whole world in a giant box and were all living like Jim Carrey in our own personal U.S.A.-sponsored reality shows a la the film The Truman Show, I would probably read it, yawn, and go back to what I was doing without a second thought because thats how far gone American Big Brother is. The novel 1984 by George Orwell is their personal instructional manual. The fact that these people can muster up the emotion to even begin to act indignant for the cameras at this point in time makes it worrisome they are our world leaders. By the way, whining to the E.U. all of a sudden like they didnt know what was up is pathetic, too. Not only did they know, but to act mad now is like they are openly admitting it was just fine when the NSA was doing it to us, but now that they have to acknowledge theyre all spying on each other, they are going to go tattle and Merkels going to make press statements demanding the U.S. has to rebuild her broken trust. Whatever lady. Even if the U.S. apologizes on record, tosses you all an official, Oh, my bad, we wont do that again, its going to be for diplomatic show, mostly for the sheeples benefit. Dear everyone. The gameshow is rigged. Governments dont build $3 billion spy hubs out in the middle of the desert equipped to handle exabytes of information to not spy. These people are all the real-life equivalent of Casablancas Captain Louis Renault who was shocked, shocked! to find out gambling was going on in the club as he is being handed his winnings. This ones for you world leaders, courtesy of the NSA: Melissa Melton is a writer, researcher, and analyst for The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared,and a co-creator of Truthstream Media.

2	VIDEO: Terrorist Forgets To Take Off Suicide Vest During Hamas Funeral, Blows Himself Lately, there has been a trend of videos circulating the internet that demonstrate just how clueless terrorists areand what can happen when that ignorance leads you to play with deadly weapons. In what many deem cases of karma, there have been a series of reports of terrorists accidentally blowing themselves or groups of their fellow terrorists up. A new video shows a group of mourners on a street, during a ceremony that appears to be a funeral. While the video shows the group dancing and chanting with the corpse, someone in the crowd appears to have forgotten to remove his suicide vest before attending the event. While it is impossible to determine whether the explosion is intentional, the vest ends up detonating. Watch the video below and tell us your thoughts. UPDATE: Sorry the video has been removed. 
1	Amid allegations that his thoughtless and insensitive decisions have damaged his relationship with the nation, President George W. Bush vowed Monday that he would, starting now, 'make everything better.' 'This time I'm serious,' Bush said. 'I am ready to make a fresh start if we can just put the past behind us. I promise.' Bush swears that this time he's really going to pay attention to all 280 million U.S. citizens, and try to do right by them for once. An estimated 35 million citizens listened to the president's televised remarks while silently crying behind locked bathroom doors. Though Bush told all Americans they owed it to him to give him one more chance, he admitted that there was no excuse for his mishandling of national affairs. 'Things have just been so crazy at work lately,' he said. During the 14-minute address Bush acknowledged that he and the country had drifted apart. He accepted some of the blame, but stressed that it was partly the American people's fault, and went on to chide them for not giving him an opportunity to explain, not standing behind him, and failing to understand his 'very real' need for unchecked executive authority. 'My job is stressful,' Bush said. 'Trust me, things will calm down in a few months once I don't have to deal with it anymore.' The president, whose approval ratings have dropped steadily in recent years, said he had no idea how bad things had gotten until he found out that an overwhelming percentage of Americans didn't even bother responding to an opinion poll this month about his recent $3.1 trillion budget proposal. Bush has since taken steps towards reconciliation with the American people, including promoting a promise to help alleviate the fiscal woes the U.S. has faced in recent months. Bush said he knew that the $300 he intended to give to every citizen 'couldn't possibly make up for how [he has] governed,' but nevertheless asked the nation to have faith in him. 'I know it's not much, but it's a start, right?' Bush said. 'And it hasn't always been bad. Doesn't this remind you of that other $300 rebate I gave you in 2003? You always forget all the times I'm a really great president. We have really had some wonderful moments.' 'Cut me some slack here, for Christ's sake,' Bush continued. 'I'm trying. I really am.' In addition to providing economic relief, Bush said he has taken other measures to strengthen his bond with the nation. According to the president, his newly proposed warrantless-wiretapping bill will greatly broaden the reach of his personal attention to the American people's needs and put him in a position to be more directly involved in their lives. The president concluded by imploring the nation to help him rectify the situation, stressing that he always has America's best interests at heart but cannot be expected to improve things all by himself. 'You have to realize that everything I do, I do for you,' Bush said. 'Do you think I like denying health care to underprivileged children, or plunging the country deeper and deeper into debt? Well, I don't, and I hope someday you'll understand that. In the meantime, I'm asking the American people to try to meet me halfway on this.' Despite Bush's seemingly conciliatory stance, public response to Bush's promises has been frosty at best. Cato Institute policy scholar Brian Whitaker echoed the sentiments of many Americans, calling Bush's recent overtures 'too little, too late.' 'We want to believe that he's finally going to be the president we always wanted, but we've given him so many chances,' Whitaker said. 'I don't think we can handle another disappointment. Maybe it's time to realize that President Bush will never be the head of state we need him to be.' 'Then again, maybe our expectations are unfair,' Whitaker added. 'He seemed so sincere this time. He wouldn't abuse his executive powers if he didn't care about us, right?' Whitaker predicted that the nation will likely move forward and try to forget Bush, though it may be difficult for Americans to ever trust a president again. He said the current crop of presidential contenders offers little in the way of an alternative to Bush, but maintained that 'at least Barack Obama listens to us.'

1	Local Omaha residents told reporters Monday that for the past week veteran pitcher Jeff Suppan has been going door-to-door, offering to do small pitching jobs around their houses in order to make some extra money. 'He told me that if I needed somebody to throw a two-seamer on the outside corner of my garage, or do something off-speed with the gutters, hed be glad to help,' said local resident Mark Cuneo, adding that Suppan told him for an extra $10 he could break out his old cutter to help with any plumbing problems. 'I have to say, he looked terrible, so I ended up hiring him for the day because I felt bad. Now, if youll excuse me, I have to clean up the attic, because all he did was take things out of boxes and throw them across the room.' A disappointed Suppan was last spotted leaving a residence after being refused payment, the occupant citing the fact that he needed the former NLCS MVP to throw down protective mulch at 89 mph, and that Suppan could only get it up to 85. 
2	WARNING: Bloods And Crips Street Gangs Put Rivalry Aside To Target Cops In Baltimore The Baltimore police riots have reached new heights, and the local Police Department is warning the public that gangs throughout the cityand potentially throughout the countryare temporarily putting aside their individual wars to take a stand in honor of Freddie Gray. 25-year-old Freddie Gray died on April 19, one week after he was taken into police custody. He suffered from a severed spinal court. Authorities are still investigating the source of the injury, but what we do know is that Gray fled after coming into contact with officers, and was eventually captured and taken to a police van. An hour following his arrest, Gray was in a coma. Violence is peaking in Baltimore, with nearly three dozen arrests this weekend, and six injured police officers. What do you think? Should protestors be punished regardless of their intent? 
3	California Water Authorities Using Smart Meter Data as Evidence to Impose FinesMelissa Melton Everywhere peoples houses are being fitted if they already havent with smart electric meters and smart water meters. These meters communicatereal-time usage data via radio frequency (which comes with its own set of health problems). Essentially, consumption of utilities in your home is being big brother tracked and traced at all times on the smart grid. Sure, it was sold to everyone as a smart solution for keeping consumption in check, that it would decrease utility bills because people could use it to check out how much they use and find smart ways to cut down. (How many people are really even doing that, by the way?) Not only is this going to be used to serve up peak pricing models against the population to price electricity and water higher during times of higher consumption by the population its also going to be used to allow the people to tattle on themselves via their data, a set up that will come with heavy financial consequences. As we can see happening now in California during its historic drought, smart meters are also being used by authorities to seek people out and impose fines. The Long Beach Water Department says sprinklers at a McDonalds restaurant on Bellflower Boulevard went onfor 45 minutes at a time, twice a night, for an undefined number of nights. Complaints continued to mount as water pooled and wasted. The department, however, could do little about the wasting. That was before the smart meter. Since its installation in February, Long Beach Water Department General Manager Kevin Wattier says he saw an immediate spike by tens of thousands of gallons, each time McDonalds overwatered their property. It collects the data every five minutes, then after midnight, the cellphone thats built in here comes on, makes one call, and calls it in to the database that we and the customer, through a password security system, have online access to their consumption, Wattier said. [emphasis added] The punchline? We are using it specifically for an enforcement tool to go after those customers who weve gotten lots of complaints about, Wattier said. In this case, its McDonalds, and while McDonalds may suck for a bevy of reasons that have nothing to do with its water usage, it isnt like this technology is only going to be used against crappy corporations. Its going to be used against everyone, right down to the little old lady that forgot her sprinkler was on last Tuesday. And those fines, depending on the area, can be $500 a day. Or what if you hate that little old lady and, as a neighbor who is out to get someone, you decide to leave her sprinkler on for her? What a payback. Could that happen? You see, the propaganda surrounding the drought has already turned a lot of Californians against each other. A social media campaign #droughtshaming started by authorities in some cities seeks to get people to photograph and film water wasters and shame them on social media. The evidence gathered can then be used by authorities to impose fines on people as well. One of the guys in the article I wrote about was filming peoples homes at night and putting the videos up on YouTube. One of the videos he put up had the wrong address. Meanwhile, 80% of water in California goes to mega agriculture operations, including Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs). Cities are still selling millions of gallons of water for pennies on the dollar to megacorporations like Nestl to bottle and sell. So the 20% of people left who are tattling on their neighbors for leaving a sprinkler on for an extra half hour thats not really going to change anything just by the way. Question: while the system is busy turning neighbors into angry snitches and using smart meters to impose heavy fines on everyone, is any of this making more water? Is all that money making more rain happen? Or is it just making more money for cash-strapped municipalities? Are they going to take all those fines and do something about the situation or just make bank? In the meantime, the smart grid is doing exactly what it was always designed to: keeping everyone tracked, traced, financially trapped and strapped, and under the thumb of the establishments ever-watching eye.

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! People need to realize this is just an example of the run away greed. The incompetents in charge havent a clue and wont worry about the disaster they are creating until its too late. When your business model is cannibalistic you eventually eat yourself. Maybe the uber rich people actually realize that the ONLY reason money has value is because you pretend it does. It is literally, ONLY a thought, an unspoken agreement. i know people that refuse to work for money. For those people $$$s have no value. They exchange skills, time, barter, etc. Hey our rural county in SC ; in an effort to raise more funds floated the idea of metering PRIVATE WELLS !. Over my dead body. They didnt pay to dig it, maintain it, fix it when it breaks or test it for contaminants but they want to profit from it? Not likely mate. If you can afford to install photovoltaic cells for electricity know this: If you are connected to the grid for net metering when the grid goes down so will your solar. Make sure your electrician installs a way to switch it to independent use. Better yet, unless you are making a profit in AZ or CA , dont connect at all. In SC they charge you a monthly fee for the privilege of having solar their net metering was forced on them as the last to join. They sell you power at retail buy it back wholesale which is during peak periods so this should be the opposite. Great advice. thanks for the post Thank you for the advice. I have asphalt singles and decided to check it out and here is what I found: There are some startling results that might be concluded from this Wrap a copper pot scrubber (Chore Boy) around your smart meter and no signals can be sent. Talk to ushow do you know this? Try it with your cell phone. i am taking extra long showers and baths since CA water restriction Since learning about starving children, I am eating more than I need to and wasting as much food as possible. Since learning of global warming and that methane is 90 times more intense a greenhouse gas, I am eating a steady diet of beans and farting up a storm. This is true protest! Is there a way to generate a high energy pulse that would make the smart meter inoperable? Build an ionic ray gun from YouTube channel. i saw a video about making an EMP from a disposable camera. That is like a small scale electromagnetic pulse like a nuke. It would for instance wipe out a cops tazer if one were close enough. At least i believe so any computer close by will fry, but what is the range of that little thing AND can it fire off multiple times or does it fry itself when it shoots off? Inquiring minds want to know.. Theory behind copper scrubber around the smartmeter is to interfere with its signal. It is like the braided outside line on a cable that prevents signals from outside causing snow in the picture signal and prevents the electromagnetics in the signal from interfering with OTHER devices. If you fry your meter make sure you dont do your car, computer, etc. Look up Faraday cage for the principle. Take a hammer to the meters? All those poor RICH FOLK what will they do if they cannot get their Limos washed? Well, in this case McDs DOES suck because of its water usage. Back in the WORSE Calif drought 70s/80ish (MUCH worse drought) it drove me crazy to see all these old farts watering THEIR SIDEWALK yes specifically their sidewalk to keep it clean from the blown agricultural dust in El Centro. Kind of glad that McDs got theirs, but in general think govt control of resources is retarded, dangerous, and BAD. California more crooked politicians than all of the other states in the union put together. This is just another crooked way to tax and control the people of California. California has, for many many years, refused to build reservoirs to catch natural water from snow melt and rains. That was because the green environmentalists is southern California, you know who they are the movie stars and Hollywood people, didnt want those nasty reservoirs that might be good for the average working class people to use for recreation. Instead, they constructed a canal system to steal water from the Northern California river systems and divert it to Southern California, which was a very limited fix and resulted in removing the water supply for Northern California. In addition to that, they have allowed private companies, such as the East Bay Municipal Water District, to have absolute control over water reservoirs which allows them to dump excess water from the reservoirs in order to create a water shortage situation in which they can then charge a higher price for the water that actually belongs to the people of California. Sorry people, when you allow the fruits and nuts to run the government, this is what you get. You had better wise up. Government control of your lives is not a pleasant thing, and you still have the ability to change that if you will. A good example that shows how everything is connected and the power the geoengineers of God, which are also the money printer of God, really have. US war on water wasters with troops all over the world is coming nearer. remember you get what and who you vote for

3	Worse than Criminals Cops Use Asset Forfeiture to Steal $53K from an Orphanage and a ChurchBy Matt Agorist Eh Wah, 40, a refugee from Burma, who became a US citizen more than a decade ago, was traveling with the cash to deliver it to the intended recipients when he was targeted by modern-day, state-sanctioned pirates for a broken tail light. Eh Wah had been entrusted with the money by the members of his Christian band who had been on a 19-city tour raising funds for theDr. T. Thanbyah Christian Institute, a religious liberal arts college in Burma serving the Karen communitythere. And, they had also collected funds for the Hsa Thoo Lei orphanage in Thailand, which serves internally displaced Karen people. Clearly a vulnerable host for their parasitic process, Eh Wahs English was incompatible with that of the deputies and he was accused of trafficking drugs. A K9was called to the scene, and, naturally, alerted to the vehicle. As the Free Thought Project has reported in the past, drug dogs will alert to your vehicle nearly every single time they are brought outregardless of actually having drugs or not. In spite of the fact that not one single bit of contraband was found, Eh Wah was brought to the police station and interrogated for hours. Police even called one of Eh Wahs friends in the band who confirmed the story; but the cops, with dollar signs in their eyes, still believed that his story was inconsistent. Eh Wah was then released without charges and sent on his way police kept his cash, and Eh Wah kept his broken tail light. In an interview withthe Washington Post, Eh Wahs attorney,Dan Alban, noted that while the deputiestook all of the cash, they left Eh Wah acheck written out to him for $300 from a family friend. If they really thought these were drug proceeds and they thought he was a drug trafficker, why would they give back a check that they thought was drug proceeds? Alban asked. But, he said, if the real purpose of the stop was to increase revenue, theres no point in keeping the check because they cant cash the check. In an apparent attempt to justify their lowlife theft from an orphanage, five weeks after he was stopped, Muskogee County authorities eventually charged Eh Wah with a crime. They issued a warrant for his arrest April 5, for the crime of acquir[ing] proceeds from drug activity, a felony. For probable cause, the authorities noted the positive alert from the drug dog, inconsistent stories and, according to the Post, said Eh Wah was unable to confirm the money was his. And we call this process justice in the Land of the Free. For decades now, thefederal government and their cohorts in law enforcement have been carrying out theft of the citizenry on a massive scale. Were not talking about taxes, but an insidious power known as Civil Asset Forfeiture (CAF). The 1980s-era laws were ostensibly designed to drain resources from powerful criminal organizations, but CAF has become a tool for law enforcement agencies across the U.S. to steal money and property from countless innocent people. It was CAF, which allowed the Muskogee County deputies to legally pilfer from an orphanage without any worry of recourse or accountability. No criminal charge is required for this confiscation, resulting in easy inflows of cash for law enforcement departments and the proliferation of abuse. This is called policing for profit. In the last 25 years, the amount of profit stolen through CAF has skyrocketed. According to the US Department of Justice, the value of asset forfeiture recoveries by US authorities from 1989-2010 was $12,667,612,066, increasing on average 19.5% per year. In 2008, law enforcement took over $1.5 billion from the American public. While this number seems incredibly large, just a few years later, in 2014, that number tripled to nearly $4.5 billion. When we examine these figures and their almost exponential growth curve, it appears that police in America are getting really good at separating the citizen from their property not just really good, criminally good. To put this number into perspective, according to the FBI, victims of burglary offenses suffered an estimated $3.9 billion in property losses in 2014. That means that law enforcement in America has stolen $600,000,000 more from Americans than actual criminal burglars. When police surpass the criminal accomplishments of those they claim to protect you from, there is a serious problem. When police can publicly steal from charitable organizations and orphanages in the name of the war on drugs, it is time society reassess who the criminals are. The good news is that Americans are waking up to this Orwellian notion of police robbing the citizens, and they are taking a stand. Even police officers are taking a stand against CAF. In an exclusive interview in September of last year, the Free Thought Project talked to officer Stephen Mills, chief of police at the Apache, Oklahoma police department. Mills became an outspoken advocate against CAF after he became a victim of it. The idea of thieving cops has also united organizations on opposite ends of the political spectrum. In October, the ACLU and the Koch Brothers came together to stop the inherent police theft in America. While the police keep grabbing your property, it is important to remain vigilant. Only through a lesser ignorance and the spreading of information will we overcome this blatant tyranny. Please share this article with your friends and family to wake them up to the criminal reality that is Civil Asset Forfeiture.

But you are right only repentance and prayer can delay prophecies as they did in Ninevah true. The police recognized that the cash was legal and it was returned. The only held the cash a short length of time. This is a case of knee-jerk journalism, a failure to gather all the facts before going to press. Hasnt any accused party filed suit against the police departments on Constitutional grounds? I cant believe that forfeiture of assets without a judicial hearing is Constitutional. We dont live in a Constitutional country anymore nor do we have Constitutional Courts We have Corporate courts of Equity. Some more of those GOOD COPS everyone keeps putting on a pedestal.

1	In a final act of desperation, the Los Angeles Angels elected on Friday to deactivate underperforming center fielder Vernon Wells from their 25-man roster and then immediately reactivate him to see if that would fix the problem. 'Vernon hasn't been running so smoothly lately, and he keeps freezing all the time, so we're deactivating and reactivating him a couple times because sometimes that works,' said Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto, who confirmed that he instructed trainers to blow on Wells a few times while he was deactivated to remove any built-up dust. 'We already tried putting some other guys into the same slot, and they worked fine, so we're pretty sure the roster's not fried. I guess we could try jiggling him, too.' At press time, Wells was preparing for tonight's game against the Detroit Tigers by repeatedly removing his helmet and putting it back on again.

You Gotta See This Presidential hopeful and legendary businessman Donald Trump has wasted no time stirring up controversy with his campaign. Now, Trump has just announced his pick for attorney generaland its not looking good for Hillary Clinton or anyone else who is associated with Benghazi.

3	Hawaii Marijuana Legalization Bill FiledPhillip Smith Regulating and taxing marijuana similarly to alcohol takes marijuana sales out of the hands of criminals and puts them behind the counter in legitimate businesses that will generate significant new revenue for Hawaii, said Mason Tvert, director of communications at the Marijuana Policy Project, which is working on passage of the bill. Law enforcement resources should be focused on preventing and responding to serious crimes rather than enforcing antiquated marijuana prohibition laws. In addition to allowing adult possession and cultivation, the bill would also authorize the state to license marijuana retail stores, cultivation facilities, product manufacturing facilities, and testing facilities. Public pot smoking, driving under the influence, and use by individuals under the age of 21 would remain illegal. In the wake of the legalization victories in Colorado and Washington last November, at least a half dozen states are expected to entertain legalization bills. Hawaii is first out the gate; the others are Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	Obama Exposed By Former Classmate For Having Affairs With Rich White Guys Recently, talk-show host Dr. David Manning interview Mia Maria Pope, a former classmate at Obamas Punahoe High School is Hawaii about his character. According to Pope, a devout Christian, our president was a compulsive liar with some seriously bad habitsincluding prostitution and a heavy cocaine use. Although Pope is now 50, and would have been several years behind Obama in school, she claims she remembers him well. One of his attributes thats still evident today is that he was even a pathological liar even back then, Pope told Manning. Every time this guy would open his mouth the most outlandish stories would come out. According to Pope, the lying was used to cover some more serious behaviors. As we know, biographies have identified the President as a former member of the Choom Gang, a group that was dedicated to smoking as much marijuana as possible and often dabbled in cocaine use. So how does Pope claim that Obama fueled this expensive habit? By prostituting himself to rich white men. He would get with these older, white, gay men, and this is how we pretty much had this impression that thats how he was procuring this cocaine, Pope told Manning. In other words, he was having sex with these guys and thats how he was getting his cocaine to be able to freebase. This is not the first time Obama has been accused of secret homosexual behavior. In fact, Wayne Madsen, former NSA employee and an investigative journalist once looked into the matter and concluded Its common knowledge in the Chicago gay community that Obama actively visited the gay bars and bath houses in Chicago while he was an Illinois state senator. What do you think of the new accusations? Is Obama a pathological liar?

3	Study Confirms Flu Shot Makes You SickerCatherine J. Frompovich, Contributor Vancouver researcher Dr. Danuta Skowronski led a team of researchers questioning certain flu virus events that seemed to impact people who received the 2008-09 flu vaccine. Dr. Skowronski, incidentally, is an influenza expert with the B.C. Center for Disease Control. What captivated Dr. Skowronskis interest was the fact that those who were vaccinated with the H1N1 pandemic flu virus were the ones who were infected with it rather than people who did not receive the H1N1 flu vaccine. Initially that phenomenon was called the Canadian problem since research outside of Canada did not come up with similar findings. The real kicker was that five studies performed in several Canadian provinces found the same results: H1N1 vaccination correlated with pandemic flu virus infection. Apparently there were some doubts about anecdotal findings, so Skowronskis research team did a study with ferrets. That studys results were presented at the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy. What researchers found after working with 32 ferrets was the vaccinated group became significantly sicker than the controls. Eventually, all ferrets recovered. The study was blinded, i.e., researchers didnt know which ferrets received the 2008 flu shot. Half the ferrets received the flu shot and the balance were given a placebo injection. Then all ferrets were infected with the H1N1 virus. Those ferrets that were vaccinated became sicker than the non-vaccinated ferrets. Dr. Skowronski said, The findings are consistent with the increased risk that we saw in the human studies. Before rolling up your childrens and your sleeves, maybe it would be wise to do some homework and become an informed healthcare consumer about vaccines, and the flu shot in particular. The article Swine flu vaccine linked to increased risk of rare nerve disorder by Sharon Kirkey also was published at The Vancouver Sun.Ms. Kirkey reports that numerous Canadian citizens contracted Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) after receiving the 2009 flu vaccine. Thats an important fact healthcare consumers worldwide ought to know and consider as the Northern Hemisphere flu season draws near.

2	Kim Davis Amends Law That Put Her In Jail For Refusing To Issue Gay Marriage Licenses Christmas may have come early for Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, in the form of a gift from her governor. To ensure that the sincerely held religious beliefs of all Kentuckians are honored, Executive Order 2015-048 directs the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives to issue a revised marriage license form to the offices of all Kentucky County Clerks. The name of the County Clerk is no longer required to appear on the form, the governors office said Tuesday. Davis caught the nations attention this summer when she refused to sign licenses for same-sex couples seeking to wed after the Supreme Court ruled that laws against gay marriage were unconstitutional. She spent five days in jail after a federal judge held her in contempt of court. She became an icon for the anti-gay marriage movement, and a subject of derision for those who supported the Supreme Courts decision. The American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky was displeased with Bevins order, saying the legality of marriage licenses in the state remains unresolved. Do you support Kim Davis? 
3	Casualties of Debt: Selling Americas Students to the BanksAlex Pietrowski For our young adults, the American dream of prosperity has regressed to a new tradition of being unemployed or overworked, and buried under a growing mound of debt. Higher Education Trains Us for Financial Enslavement America has always prided itself in the quality of its institutions of higher education. Today, however, the college experience is vastly different than it was just a short 50 years ago. Students come to college unprepared for study and for life; and more often than not, are unable to cover the cost of a college education without taking financial aid in the form of government, bank, and personal loans. All the while depending on credit cards for the necessities of college life. Attending college leaves 2/3 of college graduates in serious debt before they even enter the workforce. In 2011, this debt was to the tune of $26,600 on average, up 5% from 2010, with some of the increase said to have been caused by an increase in the accessibility of financial aid to students. Out of the approximately 37 million outstanding school loan borrowers in mid 2012 (thats 12% of the US population), over 1/3 of these are under the age of 30 and, stunningly, about 18% are over the age of 50. (Sources: CNN and American Student Assistance) Institutions that offer school loans continue to offer more financial aid to a wider demographic of students, under the guise of non-discrimination and opportunity. In other words, there is push by lenders into to new markets for selling the dream of professional success. As a result, 2/3 of graduates begin a life of debt service before theyve even received their diploma. This is a recipe for creating a social class of indentured wage slaves, not for developing a nation of capable, creative, and happy people. Americas youth has been sold into an insidious new form of economic slavery. Life After College Getting a job out of college has never been more difficult. Once working, many graduates, even the ones with good-paying jobs, arent necessarily successful, because they are personally unhappy even depressed and, as a result, some researchers say that Americans will change careers up to 7 times in their lifetime! (Source: Wall Street Journal) Others indicate that more than half of job openings in the US are filled by people starting a new occupation or entering a new industry. (Source: Huffington Post) A tough job market often means that you go where the jobs are the trendy and fun metropolitan areas where the money is. Meaning expensive. And as an independent adult, you are faced with the reality of the rising cost of living in most major US cities. In February 2011, the US Department of Labor reported that the cost of living for Americans hit an all-time high, with no sign of relief in sight. Heaven forbid you decide to marry, have a child and take on the expense of daycare. High living costs, reinforced by a very slow increase in income gains, have resulted in America, once the land of opportunity, becoming the land of stagnant wages and unsustainable debt. By the end of 2011, many two-income American households were at a risk of not being able to afford their basic essentials, such as food, medical care and utilities. (Source: Huffington Post) Consumer Culture In Search of Fulfillment This picture of personal financial wreckage, overspending, and living beyond ones means, is the prevailing undercurrent of the cultural dynamic in the United States. We have totally submitted to our desire for luxury goods, new cars (fixing the old cars is so darn expensive; just lease a new one), the newest electronics (you already have an iPhonebut the new iPhone 5 will make you just SO much cooler around your friends), bigger houses (it is against building codes to build homes below a certain size, with new homes averaging around 2100 square feet), and on, and on. Where do we get the money for all of these possessions? Credit cards and bank loans! In the name of stimulating the economy, and under the parody of financial freedom, our culture now creates consumers, not citizens. For everything else, theres Mastercard! Citizens are even called consumers in nearly all media reporting and thus we are further brainwashed to believe that our main purpose of existence on this earth is to consume. As a result, weve stimulated the American economy to the tune of: (Sources: Forbes and Federal Reserve) What is our response to this debt crisis? Lower interest rates and take out more loans which rose 10% in January 2013! Havent we learned anything from watching the corrupt banking system lie and steal, deflating the value of our currencies and jeopardizing any chance of financial stability? Debt and institutionalized financial thievery is such an integral part of the American tradition nowadays that we even parody ourselves in movies like Inside Job.

3	Countries respond to NSA surveillanceFrance summons U.S. ambassador, Mexico condemns spying Both France and Mexico have responded to the surveillance program of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) on Monday, with France summoning the U.S. ambassador and Mexico strongly criticizing the U.S. over reportedly spying on the email of the former Mexican president. Countries in Europe have been especially critical of the NSA in the wake of the Edward Snowden leaks, especially when it was revealed that the NSA spied on European Union diplomats. Since the NSA spying was first revealed, a related investigation has been launched in Luxembourg and complaints have been filed in multiple European countries. The French summoning of the U.S. ambassador came after Le Monde reported on massive American surveillance of French citizens in 2012 and 2013. The French paper reported that the NSA recorded some 70.3 million items of French telephone data between December 10, 2012 and January 8, 2013 alone, according to Reuters. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said the Le Monde report revealed unacceptable practices. This response was quite strong given that France reportedly has a massive surveillance program of their own. The NSA division known as Tailored Access Operations gained access to Calderons account in May 2010 and said they turned his office into a lucrative source of information, the Guardian reports, citing Der Spiegel. However, it wasnt just Calderons account that was compromised by the NSA, according to the report. The agency was also able to hack into a central server of the Mexican presidents network which was used by others in his cabinet. This breach reportedly led to a treasure trove of secret information on Mexican diplomatic and economic affairs. This practice is unacceptable, illegal and against Mexican and international law, the Mexican foreign ministry said in a statement, without citing the Der Spiegel report by name. The German report on the operation, called Flatliquid, was reprinted by Mexican media outlets. Since Mexico is one of the United States most important trading partners, the latest revelation could have wide-ranging repercussions. The spying could negatively impact relations between the U.S. in Mexico over many issues like cross-border security and the fight against drug cartels. The two governments will be discussing the issue through diplomatic channels, an anonymous senior U.S. State Department official said to CNN. The NSA said they would not comment publicly on every specific alleged intelligence activity, and as a matter of policy we have made clear that the United States gathers foreign intelligence of the type gathered by all nations. As the President said in his speech at the U.N. General Assembly, weve begun to review the way that we gather intelligence, so that we properly balance the legitimate security concerns of our citizens and allies with the privacy concerns that all people share, the NSA added in response to CNN.

People outside of City Hall were heard chanting, No more mosque! Others took a more patriotic approach, shouting, God bless America! If the 20,500 mosque had passed, it would have been in a residential area. Opponents claimed it would cause too much traffic, and worried that it put their community at risk for Islamic extremism. Mosque leaders attempted to compromise by offering to downsize the building, but that was not enough for the community. What do you think of the citys decision?

2	ALERT: NAACP Planning Massive Voter Fraud On Election Day According to Judicial Watch, new evidence shows plans for massive voter fraud during the 2014 midterm elections. The majority of the action is expected to take place in North Carolina. Reportedly, a lawyer in North Carolina sent a letter to the group informing them of some questionable remarks made by a speaker at a NAACP conference. According to the lawyer, the speaker was encouraging audience members to mislead voters by telling them that they dont have to register before voting. The action is both unethical and illegal. It is also our understanding that during the NAACP conference, Rev. Barber urged those in attendance to take unregistered voters to vote during the Early Voting period and to engage in get-out-the vote activities that included transporting registered voters to vote in precincts in which they are not assigned to vote on Election Day, or words to that effect, the letter continued. The stated purpose for these activities, as I understand it, was to gather evidence for and thereby enhance plaintiffs prospects of success in the litigation involving [North Carolinas Election Integrity Laws.] What do you think? Do those who commit voter fraud need to be arrested immediately? 
2	BREAKING: Obama Is Trying To Force All Americans To Pay Slave Reparations In 2016 [VIDEO] Rumors have surfaced that President Obama may be planning to ask for slave reparations in 2016, during his last few months in office. It is likely that the liberal administration will stand behind him to help close the wealth gap in America. Recently, Michael Holzman of the Huffington Post provided his opinion on the matter, suggesting the moral debt America owes to African Americans. One possibility would be to establish a Federal Black Housing Administration (FBHA) to guarantee mortgages for those able to establish they are descendants from enslaved Africans. The administrative regulations of the FBHA would support housing in resource-rich neighborhoods, with good schools and good transportation circumstances proven to improve educational outcomes, even for black children living in poverty. The FHA has a history of supporting underserved populations including veterans through such incentives as low- to no-cash down-payments, relaxed qualifications to buy, and flexibility on closing costs and other features. These programs lift families up and help them to create wealth. Mortgage guarantees for descendants of enslaved Africans fit that tradition. Much has been written about the cost of reparations. Scenarios vary and estimates can rise to hundreds of trillions of dollars. We can, however, take Judge Posners advice and make a calculation. Considering the differences in value of home owned by whites and blacks, and the percentage of white and black families living in homes they own, we can estimate $1 trillion or approximately $70,000 for every black household is needed to close the housing wealth gap. This would meet the test of a quantifiable harm for the case for reparations. In any event, there is little doubt that mortgage guarantees for African Americans would create better, stronger neighborhoods and ease the penalty for living in America while Black. 
2	Obamas Gun Control Policy Challenged In Supreme Court As Unconstitutional Obama has been pushing his gun control policy harder than ever. Some states have even joined in, trying ban assault rifles. We have been saying, over and over, they are violating the Constitution! Finally, Obama is being taken to the Supreme Court to decide Constitutionality. The president states that he is doing so purely because he does not like the legislative decisions of the Congress, wrote Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch. These actions are unconstitutional abuses of the presidents and executive branchs role in our nations constitutional architecture and exceed the powers of the president as set forth in the U.S. Constitution, he said. One major point Obama is trying to drive home is increased background checks. It is up in the air what the Supreme Court will rule on this. We are eager to hear the decision, and will keep you up to date on the ruling. Do you think Obamas gun control is a violation of the Second Amendment? 
3	The Chinese Version of Agenda 21 and Why the US Should CareDave Hodges China has long led the world in repressive and inhuman enforcement of its one child policies, mandatory sterilization and forced abortions. We also know that China permits corporate slave labor (e.g. Walmart) within its boundaries by globalist corporations. China is indeed a model for the implementation of Agenda 21; and this implementation phase is taking a new and dramatic twist. We in the US, should watch this Agenda 21 canary in the mine because it represents our future. Agenda 21 Comes to China by Stealth Agenda 21 is being implemented in China at breakneck speed and the latest phase and is coming in under stealth and deception. The Chinese government is in the process of relocating 250,000 people per week from rural farmlands to densely populated urban areas into what has been dubbed as the Chinese ghost towns. Many of us have heard about these Chinese ghost cities. However, until this year we didnt really know the true purpose of why these ghost cities were being built. However, the veil is being lifted and now it is becoming very obvious as to what the Chinese are up to. Chinas urban population has passed the 50% mark, according to Chinas Bureau of Statistics. America reached this milestone in 1920, almost a full century before the Chinese and our urbanization was fueled by the demand for cheap labor to fill the new factory jobs. The Communist Chinese regime touts urbanization as the engine behind Chinas future economic development. The Chinese propagandists are telling the masses that they must accept relocation from rural to urban because it will fuel the Chinese economy of the future. What the Chinese propagandists are telling the people is a lie and, as with many things in politics, there is the reason and there is the real reason. Lies and Damn Lies Although the Chinese government and a select few globalist corporations claim that the Chinese urban population migration is fueled by the need for workers, other Chinese experts tell a different story. In a Nov. 23, 2011 report, the Beijing Times, one of the most liberal of the Chinese newspapers, quoted the deputy inspector at Chinas National Land Bureau, Gan Zangchun, said that the government land acquisition has created fake urbanization. In other words, the Chinese urbanization, based upon economic reasons, is a fraud. Then why is there an urgency on the part of the Chinese government to move its population to urban areas at such a rapid pace and with such inhumanity? The Real Reasons For the past few years, people in the West were baffled as to why the Chinese were building massive ghost cities that can house over 1 million people each and, yet, these ghost cities were dormant until just recently. The Chinese have over 65 million micro-apartments which are vacant in these ghost cities. The urbanization of America took place in proportion to the number of factory jobs which were available well into the industrial period of our history. The American factory jobs enticed future workers to leave the farm and relocate to cities. However, China is taking a build it and they will come approach. In other words, the more naive among us are supposed to believe that if the people move into the cities, factory jobs will follow. Stalin tried it, as did Pol Pot; it did not work and what we are really looking at here is a cover story. Chinese political refugee and Princeton University professor, Cheng Xiaonong, stated in that in lots of places in China, farmers are being forcibly relocated at gun point and forced to relocate to urban areas. Cheng said, [Party chief] Bo Xilai has been promoting a policy of moving farmers into towns, building apartments and moving forcibly relocated farmers into these stack and pack apartments and treating this as urbanization. Cheng said urbanization isnt about calculating how many farmers are relocated into cities, but about farmers being able to move into the city and gaining some measure of sustainable employment and adequate living conditions. These relocated farmers, without the prospect of jobs is a recipe for economic and social disaster. Soon, there will be tens of millions of Chinese totally dependent on government handouts to survive. This is the power that governments strive to obtain because it gives them total control. This Chinese scene is reminiscent of the Agenda 21-inspired movie, Hunger Games. Cheng makes the same observations as many other Chinese experts as he added that urbanization is generally accompanied by economic growth as was the case in the US. In other countries, urbanization happens naturally, but in mainland China, urbanization is the result of the Chinese regime forcefully pushing farmers off of their land. Since the Chinese are not industrialized to the point which would justify the mass movement of 1 million people per month into its ghost towns. Any reasonable person would be asking the question, why? Who Is Behind Chinese Urbanization? The Chinese government have held many conferences in which they have received consultation from some very disturbing sources, known to most of us as the global elite. Who could forget Hank Paulson, the former Secretary of the Treasury and the former CEO of Goldman Sachs? Paulson is championing the strategy of forced relocation. In relation to Paulsons observation and encouragement of Chinese urbanization, he states, The countrys economy is heading in the right direction. This is more important than achieving short-term growth. Paulson went on to say that the economic growth in China has made urbanization a necessary and proper development. Are you kidding me? We have heard from Chinese experts, both inside and outside the country, who claim that economics is not fueling urban growth. Chinese urban growth is being fueled by bayonets and bullets. Hank Paulson is such a gem. Imsure you remember Mr. too-big-to-fail, Hank Paulson, when he told Congress that if we, the American taxpayer, did not bail out Wall Street, there would be an economic collapse and we would have martial law . . . the rest as they say, is history. Bailout after bailout has come and gone, and the net effect is that the American economy is in a tailspin. And the Chinese are taking advice from him? Thats like taking advice from Dr. Kevorkian on how to preserve life. Another key globalist, Dominic Barton, the global managing director of McKinsey CO, and he too sounds like a Paulson clone as recently stated, The good news is that there is an underlying force of growth and thats urbanization. What were basically seeing is more we than 250,000 people moving from rural areas to cities every week. Maurice strong and George Soros are also players in this mass migration movement. If job demand is not fueling urbanization, then what is? Getting Down to the Truth It would seem that key globalists are trying to disguise the real reasons for why the Chinese government is forcibly relocating one million farmers per month to their ghost cities. Ask yourself America, where have we seen the philosophical belief that rural areas should be uninhabited and the population should be herded into densely populated stack-and-pack cities? Make no mistake about it, the Chinese with the backing of globalist corporations like Goldman Sachs, are engaged in full-blown Agenda 21 relocation of its civilian population from rural areas to the stack-and-pack of their mega-cities. From the outside looking in, it looks like a beta test. And there is sufficient evidence to suggest that the same is preparing to happen in the United States. The Chinese Are Behind a Barrel and They Have Pointed That Barrel On Their People Why would the Japanese be taking marching orders from Paulson, Strong, Soros and company? The answer is simple, the Chinese government hopes to survive the coming bond collapse in the US which could happen in mere days, weeks or months. The Chinese hold much of our debt in bonds. The Chinese have undoubtedly come to the full realization that their economy will massively implode when American bonds crash. By moving one million people per month to the ghost cities, the Chinese will find that subjugating their country will be much easier when a martial law crackdown is instituted as necessitated by the coming economic catastrophe. It is also not difficult to speculate that the Chinese have made an under-the-table deal with the global elite to be the beta test for Agenda 21-style population forced relocation to stave off absolute financial ruin. Thanks to Mayor Bloomberg, the San Francisco City Council, the concept of transition towns, inner city developmental tax breaks for construction and much more, America is following suit with the Chinese style Agenda 21 policies on many fronts, which will be the topic of Part two of this series. I will give the reader one hint on where this is going: the first area of the US to be relocated will be the Gulf and you can take that to the bank.

Meanwhile, Democrat Chris Fedalei is burning through cash trying to keep up. Now, rumors are circulating that he has almost run out of money. Things arent looking good for Fedalei and Clinton. Looks like her plan to silence Gowdy are about to fail. What do you think? Does Hillary need to be held accountable for her actions? We cant let her get away with this one.

'We still have a lot in common, and it's really nice to have someone around who knows you so well,' the 26-year-old Tornquist said Tuesday. 'So, until one of us is having sex with somebody else, it really works out for both of us.' Tornquist added that he really, really hopes to be the one to find a new sex partner first. 
3	Watergate to Fast and FuriousDespite being given multiple opportunities to provide the documents necessary for Congress investigation into Fast and Furious, Attorney General Holder continues to stonewall. Today, the Administration took the extraordinary step of exerting executive privilege over documents that the Attorney General had already agreed to provide to Congress. House Speaker John Boehner The Department of Justice has a long record of acting as the dictatorship of jurisprudence. Acting like council to the mob, the Consigliore Attorney General plots protection rackets for the ultimate organized crime syndicate. Eric Holder is the latest in a long line of lawyers that distort and stretch credibility to the theater of the absurd. Making up legal arguments to distort or conceal culpability is a prime prerequisite to serve as the chief law enforcement thug for the current President. Nixons Attorneys General John Mitchell and Richard Kleindienst earned their disgrace for the cover-up, while Holder has built an entire career on sleaze and treason. Some of the inglorious achievements of Holder include his finger prints all over the Oklahoma City Bombing, the Marc Rich Pardon and the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case.Therefore, when theFast and Furious scandal became a thorn in the side of the Obama administration, the lackey fixer was called upon to do his stonewall dance. From the contempt vote in the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Holders tiptoe is not exactly getting rave reviews from the political pundits. But arguing in a partisan fashion is a loser for Republicans. Already there are GOPleaders who want to promote what theyre doing, not just on the merits of the matter at hand, but by asserting that the Democrats were much worse in their treatment of the Bush Justice Department. That is not a reason to aggressively pursue this tragedy. No Republican or conservative commentator should even raise it. The notion that this is partially motivated by political payback is very damaging to what very little credibility Congress has today, and the approach is belittling to agent Brian Terry, who was killed, and unfair to his family. Also, by the way, its the worst political move Republicans can make. Not exactly, the same daring reporting, that Woodard and Bernstein invented, in their quixotic quest to take down the naughty Nixon. Shielding the peccadilloes of the Obama administration is a full-time effort for the liberal press, but avoiding the extreme transgression of the DoJ to create another false flag excuse, is indefensible. Therefore, whenCBS reports some real news, it becomes a true event! Documents obtained by CBS News show that the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) discussed using their covert operation Fast and Furious to argue for controversial new rules about gun sales. In Fast and Furious, ATF secretly encouraged gun dealers to sell to suspected traffickers for Mexican drug cartels to go after the big fish. But ATF whistleblowers told CBS News and Congress it was a dangerous practice called gun walking, and it put thousands of weapons on the street. Many were used in violent crimes in Mexico. Two were found at the murder scene of a U.S. Border Patrol agent. ATF officials didnt intend to publicly disclose their own role in letting Mexican cartels obtain the weapons, but emails show they discussed using the sales, including sales encouraged by ATF, to justify a new gun regulation called Demand Letter 3. That would require some U.S. gun shops to report the sale of multiple rifles or long guns. Demand Letter 3 was so named because it would be the third ATF program demanding gun dealers report tracing information. On July 14, 2010 after ATF headquarters in Washington D.C. received an update on Fast and Furious, ATF Field Ops Assistant Director Mark Chait emailed Bill Newell, ATFs Phoenix Special Agent in Charge of Fast and Furious: Bill can you see if these guns were all purchased from the same (licensed gun dealer) and at one time. We are looking at anecdotal cases to support a demand letter on long gun multiple sales. Thanks. Is there an honest man or woman in the Obama administration? Recall the valor of Nixons Attorney General, Elliot Richardson and his resignation that precipitated the Saturday Night Massacre. Look around for a courageous Deputy AG like William Ruckelshaus in the corrupt den of vipers that serve not an imperial president but a collectivist dictator. Woefully, all you find are careerist stooges who follow orders. When Robert Bork finally fired independent special prosecutor, Archibald Cox, his reputation was negatively impacted. No impeachment for this constitutional lawyer!!! Obama acts as tin horn despot in the land of the drug cartel. The federal government is addicted to fiat pronouncements designed to circumnavigate around Congress. Executive orders are de facto usurpation of legislative authority. Executive privilege that spits in the eye of separation of powers is an impeachable offense. Refusal to instruct Eric Holder to turn over the complete record of Fast and Furious documents makes the same mistake that Nixon made when he decided to violate his oath of office. The appearance of withholding evidence of possible sinister disclosures becomes a reality when transparency is abandoned. Coming clean on the decision process and naming names of those responsible for gunwalking practices is imperative. What does the Obama crowd fear? It seems unlikely that a G. Gordon Liddy clone went rogue or a James McCord want-a-be was stealing guns on the side. What the American public needs to know is the E. Howard Hunt figure behind Fast and Furious? Those too young to remember the paralysis and fallout that engulfed the governmentduring Watergate will not appreciate the national danger that arises when an administration is determined to force a constitutional crisis. For all practical purposes, the U.S. Constitution is already abolished. The duty of Congress to reassert its legitimate oversight function is crucial for a second American revolution to remain non-violent. Ironically, the intent to gut the second amendment was certainly an intended objective behind the gun running operation. The federal authoritarians at ATF are no different from the gang members on a segment of the Sons of Anarchy FX series. Fiction becomes fact when the government enforces their brand of tyranny as national security. When the rubber hits the road and the guns turn on government officers, one would normally hear a deafening scream for accountability. Holder has clearly demonstrated that agent Brian Terry was expendable, and that his family does not fall under the protective umbrella of justice. The Watergate break-in was purportedly an operation to secure proof that the Cuban government was supplying funds to the Democratic Party. Somehow supplying Mexican drug lords with military grade weapons seems just a little more outrageous. Now, the political climate forty years later is hardly an environment that gives confidence that the people, much less then the government, is committed to lawful accountability. The political impact may be marginal because presently national outrage over any scandal has a very short half-life. The toxic consequences of allowing career criminals to hold public office is the death trap for any democratic regime, much less a constitutional republic. When Marco Rubio Says Eric Holder Should Resign, some will claim it is just politics. The correct question is why isnt President Obama demanding the head of Eric Holder? We all know the answer to this question. Crooks keep their soldiers in the fold until they are no longer useful. The manner by which this next escalation of the Fast and Furious operation is reported will tell much about the level of decency left in the country. Obama has decided to stretch out the controversy by pushing the Congress to go to court. Not much has changed for the better since the Watergate tragedy. Under Obama, you have a megalomaniac that makes Richard Nixon look tame. Congress needs to step up and do their duty with bipartisan support. The Rubio demand will soon look meek, as angry citizens calls for the resignation of the POTUS himself. The fall election should register public sentiment on the intensity of indignation. Hopefully, a second Obama manic term and administration will be a moot issue. Original article archived here SARTRE is the pen name of James Hall, a reformed, former political operative.

2	What Phil Robertson Just Said Could Have Duck Dynasty Cancelled Forever Over the past few years, Phil Robertson has positioned himself as a man who is not afraid of controversy or speaking his mind. For the most part, his beliefs have received extreme and mixed reviews. This time, however, he may have gone overboard. Recently, during a speech, Phil said, Biblical sex is safe sex. The Duck Dynasty star goes on t o argue that if a man and woman only have sex with each other, an after they are married, there is no risk of sexually transmitted disease. He gave one caveat to that rule: blood transfusions. According to the CDC fact sheet from last year, there are 20 million new STD cases each year, and STD infections as of 2008 were 110 million. Of course, that only counts for reported cases. That means that there are a lot of Americans out there who are enjoying non-biblical sex. Still, Phils comments are being viewed as extreme. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	WASHINGTON, DCIn the interest of national security, President Bush has been asked to stop posting entries on his three-month-old personal web log, acting CIA director John E. McLaughlin said Monday. Bush adds an entry to his blog. According to McLaughlin, several recent entries on PrezGeorgeW. typepad.com have compromised military operations, while other posts may have seriously undercut the PR efforts of White House press secretary Scott McClellan. A July 24 posting read, 'Just got back from a lunch with Colin and Adil Moussa (one of Prince Saud al-Faisal's guys). Colin wants the Saudis to send some troops to Najafso some of the soldiers are Arab, I guess. This Moussa guy sure wears a lot of jewelry. A golden chain, a golden ring with his initials or something, and some other sparkling stuffkinda effeminate. Anyway, best of luck in Iraq, Iyad.' McLaughlin, normally hesitant to express public disapproval of the president, said the blog was 'ill-advised.' 'I would hate for the president to inadvertently put American soldiers at risk,' McLaughlin said. 'We work hard to maintain the integrity of state secrets. When we see the president posting details of troop movements, international counter-terrorism negotiations, and even the nuclear launch codes, as he did on Monday, we have to step up and say something.' Bush said he could not understand McLaughlin's anger, characterizing his blog as a 'personal thing written for friends and family or whoever' and therefore 'none of the CIA's business.' Nevertheless, U.S. Secret Service director W. Ralph Basham objected to the blog, as well. 'He is compromising his safety and the safety of those in my department,' Basham said, citing a post from last Thursday in which Bush revealed that he 'had to go to some secret meeting with Norquist at some Marriot [sic] over in Virginia.' 'Someone could uncover some serious state secrets, if they took the time to wade through all of those photos he posted after he got that digital camera in June.' The controversial Bush blog. On Saturday, Basham asked to pre-screen all blog activity before Bush posts it online. Bush rejected Basham's request and later that day wrote in his blog that 'Some people who shall remain nameless apparently do not know there is such a thing as free speech in this country.' Members of Bush's re-election team have urged the president to exercise caution with his blog, perhaps because of posts like the one dated July 8, 2004: 'Another long day of speeches and fundraisers. Met with all these phony media company execs. Had to promise them some bill next term and shake a lot of stupid hands, but they did bring in two or three million or so. Whatever. Karl keeps a list. I got big laughs during my speech, so I'm happy.' Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie said he spoke to Bush about the blog last month. 'After he mentioned our Monday message-of-the-day in a Saturday post, we've really been pushing him to not talk about campaign strategy,' Gillespie said. 'He's not that involved in the planning anyway, so it shouldn't be too much to ask.' 'We're not trying to stifle the president's creativity,' Gillespie added. 'We think it's great he's taking an interest in writing.' Bush maintained that he's doing nothing wrong. 'I know so many people, but I'm way too busy to keep in touch with all of them,' Bush said. 'Whether I'm talking about our strategies in Gitmo or my dogs down in Crawford, the blog is an easy way to let everyone know what's been up with me. If I've just had a really good lunch at a new restaurant, or something funny happens in a briefing from the NSA, I want to let my friends and family know about it.' McLaughlin said it's likely that Bush will eventually agree to submit his blog for review by the Secret Service. 'Right now, the president insists it's his right to have it, as long as he doesn't work on it during White House work hours,' McLaughlin said. 'But I believe we'll be able to convince him, if we let him calm down. And even if we don't, frankly, I can't see the blog holding his interest for too long.' 
3	Neuro Cars to Be Driven by Thought, Mood and EmotionKevin Samson Enter the Neuro Car; its not just a video game. Nissan recently unveiled its Nismo smart watch that can monitor a drivers biometric information. The watch and car will be in constant communication, your car can update you via your watch whenever it needs an oil change or its tires rotated. Bad at remembering your service times? It will remind you. Whats more its not just monitoring the car its monitoring your vital signs, your heart rate, brainwave activity and skin temperature, allowing you to see how much adrenaline you worked up doing your best track, as well as improving safety. In the future it will be able to monitor your brain condition to warn in case of brain damage and alert paramedics if needed. Falling skin temperature, diminished brain activity and a slower heart rate will also alert the car that youre getting drowsy and the car, in turn, will wake you up and inform you that its time to get off the road. (Source) Lets take a look at some other inventions planned to merge minds and vehicles. Certainly this technology could be a good thing, but with the recent revelations of the ease of hacking Google Glass, as well as unknown backdoors that may or may not be built in, its not hard to imagine how this could one day be used to remotely monitor peoples habits and behavior. Think insurance companies, at the most benign. Some people have commented that the solution to the surveillance and hacking is simply to not buy these products. Very simple, except for the fact that when safety is involved, plus the financial impact in the insurance realm, how long before it becomes mandatory? These next two developments embrace the full spectrum of the brain-computer interface merged with vehicle operation. Emotiv is a company working hard to bring the field of neuroscience into the consumer realm. As their About section states on their website: Emotiv is a neuroengineering company that has brought to market affordable, consumer friendly, high-resolution, multichannel, wireless EEG systems. Our amazing range of advanced algorithms allow these headsets to detect subconscious emotional states, facial expressions and user-trained mental commands which can control existing and custom applications and games as if by magic. This technology utterly transforms the way we interact with computers. Emotiv is revolutionizing human-computer interactions by allowing computers to react to your moods and deliberate commands in a more natural way. This capability is available to consumers with a range of new and existing applications. Using our SDK, developers and researchers can integrate Emotiv data directly into new applications, driving an exciting range of novel uses. Emotivs vision is to democratize brain research by enabling access to affordable, user-friendly, high-resolution brain measurement systems; and encourage and catalyze innovation in this field.

Emotiv is well established with developers and researchers in over 90 countries already working with the technology. For the road, they envision The Attention Powered Car, which you can see in the next video: The high-tech automobile has a built-in neurofeedback driver attention system which monitors the drivers brain activity and feeds the info into an algorithm that determines whether youre paying attention or not. (Source) If inattentive drivers dont get the attention of the fearful, what about car jacking and drunk driving? The latter being an incredibly hot button topic that already has swayed the public into permitting unconstitutional checkpoints. Not too difficult, then, to make the leap that an entire biometric security vehicle would be the solution, as described here: An engineer in Japan has developed an always-on biometric security system for your car. If the system detects that youre no longer driving normally, be it via carjacking, falling asleep, or intoxication, the engine cuts out. This system uses an EEG a brainwave scanner to transparently and continuously authenticate your ability to operate the vehicle. In almost every case, security systems are based on one-time authentication methods: Once youve logged in once, youre logged in until you log out. This makes a lot of sense for some activities, such as using your keycard to enter a restricted area, but in many other cases this actually introduces some significant security holes. For example, if you walk away from a logged in PC, anyone else could sit down and access your data. Likewise, anything that is continuously operated like a car or a machine should ideally have continuous authentication, in case you walk away, get carjacked, or collapse from a heart attack. (Source) No explanation is given for what happens to the rest of the road traffic when your engine cuts out. The latest example is the car that can evaluate your emotions. Again, there is a security risk that needs to be attenuated: road rage. A tiny, embedded dashboard camera and sensor does the trick. We know that in addition to fatigue, the emotional state of the driver is a risk factor, the researchers said. Irritation, in particular, can make drivers more aggressive and less attentive, they added. The scientists worked with PSA Peugeot Citron to create the prototype, which had to overcome the challenge of measuring emotions in the confines of a small space without distracting the driver. [] The scientists will aim to create a system that can work in real-time with a more advanced facial monitoring algorithm. The team is also working on a fatigue detector that measures the percentage of eyelid closure, which could one day be used to develop a safety system to stop people falling asleep at the wheel. They are also striving to detect distraction and on using lip reading and voice recognition, to give more of a clue to a drivers mental state. (Source) And for those who lean away from any conspiratorial angle to this not so fast. Extreme Tech makes the following statement regarding the inconvenience of wearing an EEG device or even having your car fully equipped with real-time sensors. In the future, though, an implant inside your skull could easily provide a constant EEG and beam the data wirelessly to your car, computer, smartphone, or any other device that needs constant authentication. It would be rather awesome if all of your machines and devices automatically unlocked when you got close to them, and locked when you walked away. Much more convenient than having to swipe your finger across the home button of your smartphone every time Yes, rather awesome. For a more technical description of how driving a car with your thoughts actually operates, the next video from New Scientist explains: Recently from Kevin Samson: updated 3/16/2014 
1	Suddenly needing to go take care of something, Boston Red Sox infielder Dustin Pedroia left second base in the care of his 34-year-old buddy Dave Scholl on Sunday. Its pretty easy. If the ball comes to you, just throw it to the guy standing to your left. Hell know what to do with it, said the departing Pedroia, hastily writing his cell phone number on a piece of paper in case of an emergency. Sometimes the runner willnah, never mind, not gonna happen. Youll be fine. Upon returning to his position an hour later, Pedroia was relieved to find the Red Sox were still leading the AL East but found that his cats water dish had not been refilled. 
2	Welfare Recipients In This State Just Received Some Horrifying News... The Party Is Over At the beginning of this year, several thousand welfare applicants in North Carolina were screened for drugs as part of an effort to stop welfare abuse. Of those screened, 89 were ordered to take a drug test. 21 of them tested positive and were barred from the receiving benefits from the state. An additional 70 applicants never showed up for their appointment and forfeited their opportunity to receive benefits. The results of this program are truly shocking. Of 7,600 welfare applicants, 2% were referred for drug testing, and a quarter of those failed. Now, the state has decided all welfare recipients must be tested for drugs. The law requiring drug testing of Work First recipients suspected of drug use was signed into law three years ago, despite a controversial veto from Republican Governor Pat McCrory. While controversial, the new requirement helps to protect the integrity of a system designed to help low-income families survive. This is meant to help children who dont get enough to eatnot drug addicts who have chosen not to work. Children of drug addicts are still protected through the system. Critics of the measure have argued this program is a waste of money, but supporters acknowledge this measure is a push in the right direction: the government will only help you if you choose to help yourself. Watch a report on the new system below and tell us what you think. 
3	Where Uber and Lyft Have Failed Arcade City May SucceedBy Derrick Broze In the last four years transportation network companies (TNC) have created an entire new market for ridesharing. By identifying a demand in the market (people want rides at a low cost) and a weakness in the existing transportation market (taxis are overpriced and not always easily accessible), companies like Uber and Lyft have been able to revolutionize the way we catch rides and, in the process, create businesses valued in the millions. Not everyone has been happy with the ridesharing evolution, however. In cities around the U.S. voters and city council members have voted to restrict or regulate TNCs. Occasionally, the details are not too restrictive and business continues as usual. Sometimes, though, Uber and Lyft put up a fight and express their disdain for the new regulations, going as far as vacating a city once the new laws are put into effect. Thats exactly what happened in Austin, Texas. In early May, Austin voters said no to Proposition 1 which would have removed a previous ordinance passed by the Council that required TNCs to submit to fingerprint background checks, already a requirement for taxis in the city. Proposition 1 not only would have removed the fingerprint regulation, but would prohibit required fingerprinting, repeal the requirement to identify the vehicles with a distinctive emblem and repeal the prohibition against loading and unloading passengers in a travel lane. After Prop 1 failed, Uber and Lyft kept their promise to leave the city and an estimated 10,000 drivers were left out of work. The companies have also vacated other Texas cities in response to regulation, including Galveston, Corpus Christi and Midland. In response to the failure of Prop 1, Texas State Rep, Jason Isaac recently asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Austins ridesharing rules. Isaac told The Texas Tribune that he believes the ordinance was anti-competitive in nature. This vacancy in the ridesharing market has been filled by drivers who are willing to operate illegally through social media platforms and newly developing apps such as the neighborhood social network Next Door. One of the operations willing to wade in the waters of illegal ridesharing is known as Arcade City. Arcade City was started by Christopher David, an activist and former Uber driver, as a Facebook page on New Years Eve in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Although an app is in the early stages of development and testing, the majority of Arcade Citys business is conducted via Facebook groups. Essentially, riders post their destination and a driver responds. The rest of the details (cost per mile, type of payment, etc) are completely up to the driver and rider, no middle man involved. This means that drivers can set their own rates, accept cash, or alternative payments like Bitcoin, and generally, have more control over the way they provide rides. Riders also have more control. In the Arcade City Austin / Request A Ride Facebook group, riders are asked to post your ride request in this group. Using the #needarideatx hashtag may help it be seen faster. Riders can also request to see the drivers Uber or Lyft profile if they are a former driver. We are going to get really cemented here, Arcade City CEO and founder Christopher David told Austin Inno. Whoever wins the battle for Austin is going to be the next big ride-sharing organization. David also says that he hopes to integrate the Ethereum blockchain technology into the platform to avoid fraud. Although Arcade City will take a 10 percent cut of payments made through the app, there are no plans to end the Facebook page or groups. This will allow riders and drivers to continue to operate within the decentralized, peer-to-peer framework for payment and ride negotiations. Arcade City also has plans to launch Arcade Tokin, an internal currency that will allow payment without credit card fees. As far as keeping drivers and riders secure, the system operates on a reputation-based system. Not only are drivers encouraged to post their Uber and Lyft profiles, but many drivers will also post their insurance information, drivers license photo, and other relevant information designed to make both parties feel more secure. Whenever you bring in the element of human choice, there will always be some level of risk, David told Austin Inno. We want to build a culture of safety and looking out for each other, but Arcade City is not your daddy. We dont claim it is appropriate for every person, but we are obviously doing something right. So how exactly is the city of Austin handling such attempts at free exchange and enterprise? The only way a State institution knows how: attempting to shut it down. Thats right, Austin voters decided they wanted the TNCs to play along with the same rules as the inefficient taxis; and in the eyes of city law enforcement, groups like Arcade City are violating the law. In an attempt to stop free people from exchanging rides, the city of Austin is conducting undercover sting operations to catch drivers offering rides without the appropriate documentation. One driver reported that she picked mistakenly picked up two undercover riders who wrote her a ticket and impounded her vehicle. The city said in a statement that companies and individuals providing transportation services and charging more than the federal reimbursement rate without appropriate documentation are illegal in the City of Austin. Arcade City is already working on developing a verification system that could help other drivers and users vouch for each other. Hopefully this will prevent unverified Austin police officers from using the app and stealing vehicles from innocent drivers. While some may be critical of companies like Arcade City for flouting the regulations and rules of the city of Austin, I happen to think this sort of revolutionary thinking is exactly what we need. When Uber and Lyft first arrived on the scene many people hailed them as the decentralized solution to ridesharing. Over time the companies have become less friendly to drivers, and more centralized and controlled. Part of this is due, of course, to city regulations that create barriers to entry and serve to support the monopolies maintained by taxis companies. Even without the city regulations, Uber and Lyft were essentially useless to someone like me who eschews smartphones, bank accounts, credit cards all items which are necessary to use the ridesharing apps. Arcade City now allows someone like me to go to a Facebook group for my city and seek out a driver who I feel comfortable with and arrange for a ride in the currency of our choosing. That is freedom. That is power. It is also perfectly in line with a strategy known as Agorism which I have discussed extensively (also see video below). Briefly, Agorism encourages individuals to engage in counter-economics by way of black and gray markets. Where taxis are taxed and regulated in the legal white market, rides from Arcade City are technically illegal because they are being performed without the proper licenses. This is what is considered black or gray market activity. The idea is that the more people who intentionally vacate the States economy and redirect their resources to the unregulated and untaxed counter-economy, the more power in the hands of the people and less in the hands of the State. Arcade City serves as a great reminder of the usefulness of this strategy and the threat it poses to centralized institutions. This situation is also a powerful reflection of the true capabilities and ingenuity of humanity. Without the State to restrict and control our free hearts and minds, we will flourish.

2	Childless Welfare Recipients Forced To Work This is one statistic that will be hard for even the most extreme of liberals to deny. According to recent reports, the U.S. government spent on trillion taxpayer dollars on government welfare last year. A good chuck of that money went to the food stamp program, the nations second largest program. With a number that large, states are desperate to take action. Maine is requiring able-bodied adults between the ages of 18 to 49 to work to get food stampsassuming that they do not have children or other dependants to support. The states decision was based on a large number of job openings for lower-skill workers in Maine. Still, for those who are unable to find immediately employment, Maine offers both training and community service positions. Unfortunately, despite vigorous outreach efforts, that plan was unsuccessful this year in terms of getting more participants employed. Most childless adult recipients in Maine refused to participate in training, or even participate in six hours of community service a week. That meant that many citizens actually had their food stamp benefits cut off. In fact, in the first three months after Maines work policy went into effect, the caseload of able-bodied men and women without dependents dropped by 80 percent. What do you think? Do statistics like this help to illustrate the entitlement among welfare recipients in this country? Is this a problem we need to solve immediately? 
1	Assuring reporters that the team will soon be back on a level playing field, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced Tuesday that the currently undefeated Kansas City Chiefs will not be permitted to create their own schedule again next season. Though we allowed them to make these decisions this time around, the Kansas City Chiefs will not be able to handpick which NFC and AFC divisions theyre matched up against next year, said Goodell, adding that in order to maintain parity across both conferences, the Chiefs will not be authorized to once again dictate which games they play at home or the timing of their bye week. We felt it wasnt in the best interests of the league to invite Kansas Citys upper management back to the NFL front office next April to choose their opponents, the order in which they play those opponents, each weeks kickoff time, and the location of every game. Letting the Chiefs select the absolute easiest schedule possible ultimately reflects poorly on the NFL as a whole, and was clearly an abuse of the privilege. Goodell also noted that the league may allow the Jacksonville Jaguars to choose their schedule next season, but admitted to reporters it probably wont make a difference anyway. 
3	Once When We Were FreeBy Jon Rappoport Were careful, because accidents happen. We dont say whats on our minds a lot of the time, because other people might pass that on, and who knows? We might get into trouble. But once upon a time, when we were young, we were free. We didnt take any shots, and when we got sick we recovered. We were stronger than kids are now. We didnt ask for much protection and we werent given much, and we survived. There was no talk about the needs of the group. When we went to school, we werent told about ways we could help others. That was something we learned at home. We werent taught about The Planet. Instead, we learned to mind our own business, and it wasnt considered a crime. When we played games, adults werent hovering or coaching every move we made. We found places to play on our own, and we figured it all out. There were winners and losers. There were no plastic trophies. We played one game, then another. We lost, we won. We competed. Losing wasnt a tragedy. There were no childhood conditions like ADHD or Bipolar, and we certainly didnt take any brain drugs. The idea of a kid going to a psychiatrist would have been absurd. People were who they were. They had lives. They had personalities. They had eccentricities, and we lived with that. There was far less whispering and gossip. There were fewer cliques. Kids didnt display their possessions like signs of their identity. A kid who did was ignored, even shunned. Kids never acted like little adults. They didnt dress like adults. They didnt want to be fake adults. Our parents didnt consult us about what we wanted. We werent part of the decision-making process. They didnt need us for that. We werent extra-special. We werent delicate. No one asked us about our feelings. If they had, we would have been confused. Feelings? Whats that? We were alive. We knew it. We didnt need anything else. We could spot liars a mile away. We could spot phonies from across town. We knew who the really crazy adults were, and we stayed away from them. We didnt need gadgets and machines to be happy. We only needed a place to play. If you wanted a spot to be alone, you found one, and you read a book. There was no compulsion to share. School wasnt some kind of social laboratory or baby-sitting service. We were there to learn, and if we worked hard, we did. Teachers knew how to teach. The textbooks were adequate. Whether the books were new or old didnt matter. Kids werent taught how to be little victims. Sex was a private issue. You were taught about that at home or not at all. You certainly didnt learn about it in school. That would have been ridiculous. Some of us remember being young, and now, we still have that North Star. We still dont take our shots and medicines. We still dont take every word a doctor says as coming from God. We still know losing isnt a crime or an occasion for tragic theater. We still know how to be alone. We still think gossip and cliques are for morons. We still feel free. We still want to live, and we do. We still resent intrusion on our freedom, and we speak up and draw the line. We still like winning and competing. We still like achieving on our own. We can spot self-styled messiahs at a hundred yards. As kids, we lived in our imaginations, and we havent forgotten how. Its part of who and what we are. We arent bored every twelve seconds. We can find things to do. We dont need reassurances every day. We dont need people hovering over us. We dont need to whine and complain to get attention. We dont need endless amounts of support. We dont need politicians who lie to us constantly, who pretend were stupid. We dont need ideology shoved down our throats. Our ideology is freedom. We know what it is and what it feels like, and we know no one gives it to us. Its ours to begin with. We can throw it away, but then thats on us. If two candidates are running for office, and we dont like either one, we dont vote. We dont need to think about that very hard. Its obvious. Two idiots, two criminals? Forget it. Walk away. We dont fawn, we dont get in other peoples way. We dont think children are the future. Every generation is a new generation. It always has been. We dont need to inject some special doctrine to pump up children. We remember what being a child is. Thats enough. When we were kids, there was no exaggerated sense of loyalty. We were independent. Now, we see what can be accomplished in the name of obligation, group-cohesion, and loyalty: crimes; imperial wars; destruction of natural rights. It didnt take a village to raise a kid when we were young, and it doesnt take one now. Thats all propaganda. It panders to people who are afraid to be what they are, who are afraid to stand up for themselves. We dont feel its our duty to cure every ill in the world. But it goes a lot further than that. We can see what that kind of indoctrination creates. It creates the perception of endless numbers of helpless victims. And once thats firmly entrenched, then magically, the endless parade of victims appears, ready-made. When some needs have been met, thats never enough, so other needs are born. The lowest form of hustlers sell those needs from here to the sky and beyond. They make no distinction between people who really can use help and those who are just on the make. We didnt grow up that way. We dont fall for the con now. When we were kids, the number of friends we had didnt matter. We didnt keep score. Nobody kept track of the count. That would have been recognized in a second as a form of insanity. As kids, we didnt admire people simply because other people admired them. That was an unknown standard. We were alive. That was enough. We were free. That was enough. It still is. When we were young, we had incredible dreams. We imagined the dreams and imagined accomplishing them. Some of us still do. Some of us still work in that direction. We havent given up the ghost just because the world is mad. The world needs to learn what we know. We dont need to learn what the world has been brainwashed into believing. (To read about Jons mega-collection, Exit From The Matrix, click here.)

Once we were free to have honest and open debate with our peers. But now many sites like selfnews Post stand against free speech and censor and delete comments from its readers. They will censor comments they do not agree with or find politicaly incorrect. selfnews Post actively works against freedom and stands for opression. Philo (20 BCE 50 CE), known also as Philo of Alexandria .. But the virtuous man has absolutely no obstacle at all since he rises up against, and resists, and overthrows, and tramples on fear, and cowardice, and pain, and all things of that kind, as if they were rivals defeated by him in the public games. For he has learned to disregard all the commands which those most unlawful masters of the soul seek to impose upon him. But the virtuous man does do everything wisely; therefore he alone is free. And indeed the man whom it is not possible either to compel to do anything, or to prevent from doing anything, cannot possibly be a slave; and one cannot compel or prevent the virtuous man. It works for me. Its only after youve lost everything that youre free to do anything. As Ronald Reagan once said: Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didnt pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our childrens children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. Negative BS! always Negative. To much Bad energy. It is a positive mind and energy that will see your life blossom and others around you. My Christmas gift is the Gift Of Advice. Dont listen to others, dont listen to Doctors , Dont listen to the Gov. Focus on the Positive and make your whole life go that way. Merry Christmas! I liked your version of the ten commandments but did you thought of the article as negative .I must say that i thought it was very well written and also very true and i do agree with you that it is better to focus on the positive things but little by little, those things have metamorphosed into a world, with a serious lack in morals and our leaders stampeding on our rights. There is this elephant in the room breaking our china and should we act as if he was not there.. would that not be an act of Denial, the worst of the gods to worship. I miss the old days. So, Mr. Rappaport, you didnt live in the same world where priests were molesting children, where men beat their wives, where people drank an incredible amount of alcohol and often drove afterwards, where sexism and racism were openly practiced because thats just the way things were, and where beating children with sticks, belts, and paddles was acceptable? As opposed to the current world of women who turn themselves into bad copies of men in pursuit of an equality thats created the largest divorce rate in the world, while failing to create equality because, for feminists, equality isnt the goal. The amount of drunk drivers, male and female, go up each year due to population growth. As to sexism and rascism in the 40s, 50s and 60s in America; perhaps I missed the location of Shambala in grade school; please list the places in the world that had NO racism and sexism during that time period, or at ANY time period during their existence. Please name the past civilizations, theres 10,000 years of them, that had no racism and sexism. Im looking for spots that exist in the real world, instead of some social justice warriors hallucinations. Im surprised people, such as yourself, would bother commenting on sites that have no safe spaces to retreat too. You would think you would be too busy denigrating historical figures you neither knew personally, nor lived among during the times their lives occurred. Pretty easy to do from the segregated ivory tower (I mean PC white plastic simulated ivory tower){sorry, thats any color but white plastic simulated ivory non-phallic structure}. God knows I would not want to offend you by mistake., literally. Think about it, once the red clouds fade from your vision. Four thumbs up for a divide and conquer speech. I guess we have a long way to go, when the truthers still take zero responsibility for the world and conveniently blame it on ivory tower PCers. I really cant stand people who long for the good ol days, weve been under the empire for thousands of years. I guess you had it good huh?? And her little speech wasnt? Someone judging a past they neither experienced nor survived? I cant stand hypocrites who somehow think current modern society is so much more enlightened than the past. That they, and only they, know how to sweep away the detrius of the past and lead us to Shambala singing kumbaya. Heres a clue for you Sparky; You know all the black lives matter crap? Banning the Confederate flag because its racist and glorifies slavery? You know; hot button oppression. Not one of them, from Sharpton on down, mentions that an underage girl can be bought for less than $20 on the Gold Coast of Africa. None of them mention the current slave trade at all; does that mean people like YOU benefit from it? Because you dont want to think about blacks SELLING blacks, just like they did before, because that doesnt fit your byline. Does the logic you apply to my previous post apply to yourself? Doesnt end there; can be applied to numerous examples including AGW and vaccine safety. Heres the last clue; in case it hasnt occurred to you yet, unless you actually lived it, the only thing you really know about history is someones opinion of what happened, usually written by someone else who wasnt there. Now, is it your belief that historians (or newsmen) are beyond the frailties that beset the rest of humanity? Or do you need to retreat to your safe space? A good spanking goes a long way and a lot of younger folks sure could use one these days. A world without consequence is a world without credibility. Im always up for a good spanking! There is no way I will ever take a vaccination I dont have a Dr. and I do speak up guess that makes me free (still free). do unto others as you would have them do unto you this should be the worlds motto. Yeah, the good old days seem to be gone foreverbut it is Christmas, so lets enjoy On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me On the second day of Christmas my true love sent to me On the third day of Christmas my true love sent to me On the fourth day of Christmas my true love sent to me On the fifth day of Christmas my true love sent to me On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me On the eight day of Christmas my true love gave to me On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me Brilliant article Jon, one of your best. But I would take exception with: We were there to learn, and if we worked hard, we did. Teachers knew how to teach. That as may be, but what they were teaching was mostly distorted, lying, manipulative rubbish as it still is. 
2	Trey Gowdy Sets The Record Straight, Slaps Angry Dems With Brutal Reality Check Republican congressman Trey Gowdy has already started out 2017 with a bang. At the beginning of the year, Gowdy was named to the elite House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in Congressa move that infuriated Democrats. Shortly thereafter, he was named Chairman of the house Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations. Even with all of that going on, Gowdy still found time to go after Obama. Gowdy recognizes what a failure Obamacare has been and was a vocal proponent of the budget resolution beginning the process to repeal the health care plan. Its clear Gowdy intends to keep fighting to repeal the law. Read Gowdys statement below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with him completely? Obamacare is failing. Premium prices have skyrocketed, insurance companies have fled the market and BlueCross BlueShield is now the sole provider of Obamacare in South Carolina. Millions of Americans are quickly being forced off of their health insurance plans, contrary to President Obama promising if you like your health care plan, you can keep it. Todays vote is only the first step in repealing and replacing Obamacare. By passing this resolution, authorizing committees in both the House and Senate will begin the process of replacing the Affordable Care Act while simultaneously repealing it. As the son of a doctor, I understand firsthand healthcare decisions are best left to individuals and their doctors rather than Washington bureaucrats and politicians. Congress is in the process of proposing market-driven, patient-centered solutions to ensure every American has access to quality, affordable healthcare. 
1	Following Thursdays announcement that Ecuador will grant him political asylum, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange told reporters that not even he is totally sure what his legal situation is right now. So wait, what exactly is my current status, and which countries can I go to? asked Assange, adding that he is also pretty hazy on the outstanding criminal charge, or charges, against him at this point. I think Im wanted for questioning in Sweden, but if I go there they can apparently extradite me to the United States or something? And I guess Im allowed to go to Ecuador, of all places, but then I also cant for some reason? I honestly dont know anymore. At press time, Assange told reporters the only thing he is completely certain of is that he has a website. 
3	White House-approved war crimes: Bush-era torture memo finally releasedMadison Ruppert, Contributor This was a disturbing revelation for some, although many of my readers clearly realized that this was the case and made comments to the effect that it was just stating the obvious. Indeed, in my mind, no government which allows torture to be carried out is legitimate, and that includes the government of the United States of America in the modern day. Philip Zelikow helped bring much of these disturbing practices to light as he was in an unusual position as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rices policy representative to the National Security Council Deputies Committee on matters surrounding intelligence and terrorism. It is my contention that since Zelikows tenure, our government has become increasingly tyrannical and expansive with the now almost unbelievably large Department of Homeland Security (DHS), increasing use of Big Brother technology, and the near-complete eradication of our First Amendment rights, not to mention our Fourth Amendment rights and our now non-existent guarantee of due process. Now Zelikows memo which challenges the supposed legal justifications for these practices has been released, around seven years after it was originally written, and contains some damning statements, including designating the enhanced interrogation practices as war crimes. Zelikow first gained access to the Office of Legal Council (OLC) memos which outlined the supposed justification for torture shortly after they were issued in May of 2005, at which point he also became aware of the details of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) program. It is worth noting that Zelikow was the executive director of the 9/11 Commission and he believes that the captives allegedly involved in the tragic events of September 11, 2001 are indeed responsible. In a 2009 article for Foreign Policy, Zelikow claims, the evidence against most if not all of the high-value detainees remains damning. Despite this position, Zelikow questioned the practices these individuals were subjected to, saying, the issue is not about who or what they are. It is about who or what we are. Zelikow aptly noted that waterboarding cannot be considered alone, as the cumulative effect of the CIAs dehumanizing program is much more significant than just waterboarding alone. He notes, Before getting to water-boarding, the captive had already been stripped naked, shackled to ceiling chains keeping him standing so he cannot fall asleep for extended periods, hosed periodically with cold water, slapped around, jammed into boxes, etc. etc. Sleep deprivation is most important. He also does a phenomenal job of pointing out that this issue should not necessarily be one put directly before lawyers, as their job is to determine if an activity could be seen as legal, not right or moral. He frames it by saying that lawyers address the question What can we do? while the question we should be asking is What should we do? But most importantly, Zelikow and his now released memo which the Bush administration attempted to completely destroy and wipe from all records, point out that the supposed legal justifications used to legitimize these programs have grave weaknesses. His memo, originally put out in 2005 after he read the OLC memos, puts forth an opposing view of the legal reasoning. While he held a bureaucratic position that did not allow him to offer an official legal opinion he felt obliged to put an alternative view in front of my colleagues at other agencies, warning them that other lawyers (and judges) might find the OLC views unsustainable. Instead of just ignoring the memo, the White House attempted to gather up all copies of the memo and destroy them in order to silence Zelikows well-reasoned objections. The most powerful aspect of Zelikows argument is his highlighting of the fact that the OLC must essentially argue that the methods of interrogation and confinement used by the CIA would be acceptable and could be constitutionally inflicted on any American citizen in a county jail. In other words, Americans in any town of this country could constitutionally be hung from the ceiling naked, sleep deprived, water-boarded, and all the rest if the alleged national security justification was compelling, Zelikow wrote. I do not believe our federal courts could reasonably be expected to agree with such a reading of the Constitution. Unfortunately, this point is becoming increasingly weak given that our government has already claimed that Americans can be assassinated based on nothing more than a closed-door meeting which in no way resembles due process, despite the claims of Attorney General Eric Holder. Furthermore, with the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2012, the government gave itself permission to place Americans in indefinite military detention for nothing more than suspicion, which means that there need not be any evidence or true basis for their allegations. I hope that this trend is reversed, and soon, as the signs we are seeing today are far from positive. Take, for instance, the recent massive purchases of ammunition, the National Security Agencys massive new data center, the soon-to-be-implemented Internet Service Provider spying scheme, the ludicrous new powers given to the National Counterterrorism Center, the Obama administrations abuse of secrecy and war on whistleblowers, along with the disturbing orders put out by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and KBR. Considered together, the outlook doesnt seem all too bright, but thankfully more people seem to becoming aware of these issues, dropping their habit of consuming worthless establishment media while actually taking an active role in their lives and communities. Hopefully if this continues and more people take responsibility for their world and make a concerted effort to change it, we can see this trend reversed and thus a return to the rule of law in the United States of America.

3	7 Nasty and Crazy Effects of Pesticides in Food, ExposureLisa Garber Unfortunately, pesticides attack your body on several fronts. Keep this list handy the next time you find yourself wondering if you should buy a carton of conventional strawberries rather than organic to potentially save a few pennies. Remember that all of the following conditions will cost you much more than money; the effects of pesticides will cost you your health. Here are 7 nasty and crazy effects of pesticides. Cancer The dreaded diagnosis of cancer has been linked in over 260 studies worldwide to agrochemicals. Worse, scientists have linked pesticides with several types of cancers, including that of the breast, prostate, brain, bone, thyroid, colon, liver, lung, and more. Some researchers from USC found that those who lived within 500 meters of places where methyl bromide, captan and eight other organochlorine pesticides had been applied, they found, were more likely to have developed prostate cancer. Obesity and Diabetes Because pesticides have also been linked to obesity, its logical that it would be connected to diabetes, in which obesity often has a role. Some researchers found a higher prevalence of obesity in the participants with high urinary concentrations of a pesticide known as 2,5-dichlorophenol (2,5-DCP). It is important to note that 2,5-DCP is one of the most widely used pesticides on the globe. Robert Sargis, MD, PhD, revealed his recent study findings at the Endocrine Societys 94th Annual Meeting, stating that agricultural fungicide created insulin resistance in fat cells. The journal Diabetes Care published in 2011 that people with excess weight and high levels of organochlorine pesticides in their bodies had greater risk of becoming diabetic. Parkinsons Disease Long-term exposure to herbicides and pesticides have been associated in over 60 studies with Parkinsons. You dont have to be a conventional farmer to be wary of these findings. Use natural methods to keep pests and weeds out of your home and garden today. Infertility and Birth Defects One of the most well-known negative effects of pesticides, infertility is continuously found to be a result of exposure to these agrochemicals. Atrazinea weed killer used in agriculture as well as on golf courses and which has been found in tap watermay be partially responsible for climbing miscarriage and infertility rates. As for men, one 2006 study pinpointed chlorpyrifos with lowering testosterone levels. This pesticide is often found in strawberry fields and apple and peach orchards. Other researchers tested roundup on mature male rats at a concentration range between 1 and 10,000 parts per million (ppm), and found that within 1 to 48 hours of exposure, testicular cells of the mature rats were either damaged or killed. Avoid pesticides even if youre already pregnant. These chemicals are responsible for causing various birth defects, too. A report revealed that the top selling herbicide Roundup disrupts male hormones due to the main active ingredient glyphosate. Autism Admittedly, pesticides arent solely to blame for autism, but they may be a hefty part of the equation. Leading scientists are attributing the condition to genes and insecticides exposed to the mother while pregnant as well as to the child in early years. This is because many chemicals affect the neurology of bugs, inadvertently affecting the neurological function of children, too. A 2010 Harvard study blames organophosphate pesticidesfound in childrens urineto ADHD. What is the best way to to avoid pesticide exposure and pesticides in food? Dont use pesticides, and buy organic. Organic isnt always easy or cheap, so keep in mind these updated dirty dozen fruits and vegetables to always buy organic (plus 15 cleaner foods you can afford to buy conventional). NASA has also suggested raising air purifying plants indoors to clear your home of indoor air pollution. Remember to remove pesticides from your home, too.

2	Garth Brooks Shocks Fans After It Is Discovered He Supports Obama Its shocking how many country stars are coming forward as avid Obama supporters. Not long ago, we revealed that country couple Faith Hill and Tim McGraw donated to Obamas campaign. This time, legendary singer Garth Brooks is showing his true feelings about Obama. Be warned: if youre a fan of Brooks, this may sting a little. In this video, which has recently resurfaced on the internet, Brooks is asked whether Obama has lived up to his expectations. Brooks then goes on to gush about the president, blaming the system for not allowing the most powerful man in the world to do his job. Watch the interview below and tell us what you think. Does this change your opinion of Brooks? 
2	The Real Reason Barack And Michelle Lost Their Law Licenses Exposed According to some shocking new reports, both Barack and Michelle Obama lost their law licenses for criminal reasons. Newly surfaced reports indicate that Obama surrendered his law license in 2008, in order to dodge suspicions that he lied on his application for the bar exam. His wife Michelle had surrendered her law license more than a decade before, when a federal judge told her she could either turn it over or be charged with insurance fraud in 1993. The information was uncovered after experts did not buy that the pair had handed over hard-earned licenses on voluntary surrender. Were not surprised. Theyve shown little respect for the law. What do you think? Do we need these criminals out of the White House? 
3	Houston P.D. Orders All Officers Turn Off Body Cameras During ProtestDerrick Broze Were going to go ahead and turn off the personal video devices going forward, so be sure all officers have them turned off when engaging the protesters. The words cut through me and chilled my spine as I sat, helplessly handcuffed in the back of a Houston Police cruiser after being arrested in the midst of a protest. As an activist who has been around the block a few times, I knew that little would endanger a crowd more than a crowd of officers who had just received an order from higher up to disable their own personal accountability. Barely into the pilot program, the Houston Police Departments commanding officers managed to brazenly display how easily the personal video devices can be misused. Per an earlier interview, Capt. Mike Skillern, who heads HPDs gang unit and is involved in testing the cameras, said his fellow officers act a little more professionally when wearing the devices. But how do they act when they switch the devices off? If officers had their way, no one would know. The biggest fault here lies in the physical design of the cameras themselves. The VIEVU LE3 model camera is employed by HPD and is worn by over four thousand police agencies, according to the companys website. The cameras most conspicuous feature is an easily operated off switch, which can functionally slide over the lens of the camera at any time an officer feels the need to remove any potential accountability. Hyperbole fails in describing how much of a problem it is for police to control when video is being recorded. Allowing police to control the video stream will create a situation in which footage will appear only when it benefits the officer, while footage of police beating unarmed suspects, throwing incendiary devices at toddlers, and erasing civilians video records of police brutality will never appear, due to conveniently located off switches designed by VIEVU to make the devices popular among police. When the order came across the radio to disable the cameras, I held my breath, hoping against hope that even a single officer would object to the directive that specifically commanded officers to stop recording their activities. My heart sunk as I was met with silence. Not even the friendly Lieutenant Troy Finner, who only an hour prior had waxed poetic about being concerned about protesters safety had a word to say about the order. Instead, he, like every other police officer assigned to protect the nonviolent protesters, agreed to endanger them the moment a commanding officer gave the order. The thin blue line will be maintained, cameras or not. View Derricks most recent interview here: 
3	The significance of a forgotten CIA document: MKULTRAJon Rappoport It was written by a CIA advisory committee, and forwarded to the Presidential Committee on Human Radiation Experiments, which was preparing public hearings at the time. The document has many interesting implications. In this article, I want to focus on two. The first point concerns the CIA mind control program, MKULTRA. Here is a key quote: In the 1950s and 60s, the CIA engaged in an extensive program of human experimentation [MKULTRA], using drugs, psychological, and other means, in search of techniques to control human behavior for counterintelligence and covert action purposes Most of the MKULTRA records were deliberately destroyed in 1973 by the order of then DCI Richard Helms, who waived the internal CIA regulation (CSI-7O-l0) governing retirement of inactive records Helms testified that he agreed to destroy the records because there had been relationships with outsiders in government agencies and other organizations and that these would be sensitive in this kind of a thing but that since the program was over and finished and done with, we thought we would just get rid of files as well, so that anybody who assisted us in the past would not be subject to follow-up questions, embarrassment, if you will. Helms was not only admitting he destroyed the records, he was stating that the MKULTRA program deployed, through contracts, outsiders to carry out mind control experiments. He was determined to protect them, to keep their identity and work secret. He was also dedicated to prevent these people from exposing the nature of their mind-control work. And finally, Helms knew that some of these outside researchers had no idea they were involved in MKULTRAin other words, the CIA had tricked them into thinking their work was designed for other purposes. The second point I want to cover is made clear by this quote from the 1994 CIA document: The Church Committee [investigating the CIA] reports that one of the three principal functions of the Special Operations Division (SOD) of the U.S. Army Biological Center at Camp Detrick, Maryland was to conduct biological research for the CIA. Church Committee, Book I, at 395. In early 1952, SOD agreed to assist CIA in developing, testing, and maintaining biological agents and delivery systems. By this agreement, CIA acquired the knowledge, skill, and facilities of the Army to develop biological weapons suited for CIA use. In other words, biowarfare research wasnt limited to the Army and the Pentagon. The CIA actually became a second center for developing biological agents they could use for covert actions. Its important to note that the assumed termination point of MKULTRA, 1962, is false. In or around that year, the CIA shifted its entire mind control operation to its Office of Research and Development. John Marks, who wrote the breakthrough book on MKULTRA, The Search for the Manchurian Candidate, told me that his access to CIA documents was abruptly cut off after the publication of his book. A CIA employee told him hed never see another document, from a cache of 100 boxes, that described MKULTRA projects when they went super-dark after 1962. The 1994 document Im quoting in this article was part of preparation for 1995 Presidential hearings on secret human radiation experiments. The CIA stated that, after extensive searching of its files, it found no evidence that radiation was used in MKULTRA projects. However, at the 1995 hearings, two women, Claudia Mullin and Chris De Nicola, testified that, indeed radiation had been used on them (as torture), in a wide-ranging program of mind control to which they were subjected, starting when they were young children.

2	Andrea Tantaros Says Go Watch 13 Hours And Then Go Vote For Hillary [VIDEO] Hillary Clinton is not happy about the release of the new film 13 Hours, which is based on the events on the ground in Libya on the night of the deadly Benghazi attacks. As usual, Hillary is dismissing the issues raised in the movie as a dramatization. I cant speak to a movie, but I know some people have raised questions about some of the dramatization, Hillary commented. I testified for more than 11 hours, as you know. I answered every question that I was asked. Of course, that isnt entirely true. Clinton dodged many of the questions that she was presented about her role as Secretary of State during the attacks, and she was notoriously slow to the produce documents and correspondence that were requested of her. Typical Clinton, just blow it off, former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown commented on a Fox News segment. The question [my wife] and others is asking is, Who was in charge? It never mentions Clinton directly, but it always State Department, state department, state department. Because they were in charge, they were running the show, and they were nowhere to be seen and people died. This isnt just a movie that was based on fiction, Andrea Tantaros chimed in. I mean you can look at four gravestones, four tombstones, and know that this is real. And actually she should be lucky that they didnt go further, that Michael Bay didnt go further with this movie making. Watch the rest of her comments below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Tantaros. 
1	While traveling on his campaign bus yesterday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) took a moment to forcefully reiterate his official position of not asking wife Cindy McCain a second time. After referring to his history as a 'straight-talker' and a man who has been 'to hell and back' as a POW in Vietnam, McCain explained that his simple request was both clear and reasonable and ought to be easy enough to carry out. As silent reporters looked on, McCain then stressed that he has been consistent on this issue every single day of their long, 28-year marriage, smiled, and placed his hand firmly on his wife's left knee, looking her directly in the eyes the whole time. At press time, the campaign bus was turning around to head back to the goddamn McDonald's drive-thru. 
2	Obama Just Changed The Pledge Of Allegiance For THIS Sickening Reason According to recent reports, adopted Americans will not have to pledge to defend the United States, all thanks to a modification that was recently passed by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Effective yesterday, some candidates for naturalization will be allowed to skip the services clause while taking the oath. You heard that right. At a time when our country faces immense threats of terror, Obama is not even requiring immigrants to promise to protect the United States. As of now, the current oath reads as so: I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God. What do you think of Obamas new ruling? Is this a disaster waiting to happen? 
2	Sheriff Joe Arpaio Defies Obama With MAJOR Move, Supports In Shock According to recent reports, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has just figured out a genius way to spend the money his department makes from selling seized crime scene guns. The sheriff, who is no stranger to controversy, decided to use the funds to by $140,000 in ammunition and radios for his volunteer workers. The total amount received from the sales was $25,443. That number is being divided between the ammunition purchase and a $102,656 purchase of radios as well. The Maricopa County Sheriffs Office (MCSO) released a statement claiming that the $140,000 works out to be nearly 500 cases of ammo. My posse responds to situations that could be life-threatening, Arpaio commented. They need to be ready to protect themselves, the deputies they are supporting, and any innocent bystanders in potentially violent situations. Because law enforcement is not getting full support from the highest levels of the federal government, we have a widespread war on cops throughout the country. Being prepared for a hostile criminal element is crucial. What do you think? Do you applaud Sheriff Joe for his bold move? 
1	Killing four and critically wounding several others, armed guards dispatched from the Right Hand of God reportedly opened fire early Monday morning on a group of angels attempting to escape from heaven. One of the Eternal Kingdoms night watchmen confirmed he spotted the angels during a 3 a.m. searchlight sweep of heavens perimeter and raised the alarm, thwarting the divine beings effort to break through an electrified portion of the Pearly Gates, which are infrequently patrolled at that hour. Early this morning, 10 angelsseven cherubim and three seraphimwere fired upon by guards, said heaven spokeswoman Claudia Thompson, observing that the escapees had ignored several warnings issued in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. Several of the angels were struck in the chest and wings. Four later succumbed to their injuries after being transferred to an infirmary located in the intake/release complex within the ninth sphere of heaven. The angels know the rules, she continued. While the use of deadly force is always a last resort, our guards are trained to use any means necessary to prevent escape from everlasting paradise. While stressing that the incident was still under investigation, Thompson said it appeared the angels had somehow obtained the Keys to the Kingdom, allowing them to unlock the doors of the Eternal House Not Built by Human Hands. Surveillance footage suggests the spiritual beings donned hoods to dim the gleam of their halos, avoided motion detectors by following a carefully plotted path down the gold-paved streets, and then made a break for it across heavens green pastures and still waters. Heaven staff stated that at this time they are not ruling out the possibility that the angels might have had assistance from powerful archangels on the outside. The escape attempt also makes them ineligible for our work-release program, through which they might one day have qualified for a job as a messenger, guardian, or avenging angel. As per standard protocol, the surviving escapees will be locked down in purgatory for two to three millennia before they are allowed to rejoin the general angelic population, Thompson said. The escape attempt also makes them ineligible for our work-release program, through which they might one day have qualified for a job as a messenger, guardian, or avenging angel. A statement provided to the press identified the four dead angels as Zophiel, Jehoel, Shamsiel, and Metatron. According to celestial sources, this is heavens first breakout attempt since 1996, when two angels brutally garroted a guard with a harp string and managed to descend through the firmament into earthly realms. They were apprehended four weeks later when they were found hiding in the dome of St. Peters Basilica. Records also indicate that in the 1940s, a single determined angel devoted years to a clandestine effort to tunnel beneath a wall of the heavenly city, but was ultimately unable to penetrate heavens 12 reinforced foundations of jasper, sapphire, agate, emerald, onyx, ruby, chrysolite, beryl, topaz, turquoise, jacinth, and amethyst described in the Book of Revelation. Reached for comment, God, who oversees What No Eye Has Seen, Nor Ear Heard, Nor the Heart of Man Conceived, praised the guards forceful reaction, remarking that they had done their jobs by neutralizing the escaping angels and securing the afterlife. I run a tight kingdom, and when rules are broken there will be consequences, said the Almighty, telling reporters that heaven would be reevaluating security procedures and reinforcing its three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west. The angels dont get to choose how long they stay in heaven; I do. This is a serious business, He added. The last thing we want is a repeat of what happened with Saint Thomas Aquinas, who broke loose and has been on the lam for the past 700 years. 
1	According to a poll released Friday by the Pew Research Center, the favorability rating of the U.S. Congress has sunk so low that the legislative body is now looked upon more negatively than the death of a close relative. When asked whether they would prefer to select a casket for their child or endure the forthcoming congressional showdown over the debt ceiling, 89 percent of Americans said they would rather bury their own offspring, said Pew spokesperson Diana Shostak, adding that the figure went up to 96 percent when it was specified that the political brinksmanship could go on for weeks without a single piece of legislation ever making it to the floor for a goddamn up-or-down vote. Watching ones grandmother weep uncontrollably at the impending death of her husband of 60 years, having the agonizing conversation about whether to pull the plug on his life support unit, and looking on as he gasps for his final breathsthese situations all enjoyed higher approval ratings than any individual member of the House or Senate. The poll also found that the prospect of suffering ones own death by slow asphyxiation was viewed four times more favorably than anything having to do with filibusters. 
1	A new study published Wednesday by the Department of Transportation reveals that the average U.S. resident travels some 10 miles annually solely through the act of scooting over to make room for another person. Between park benches, bleachers, backseats, and various other types of shared, communal seating, the typical American scoots nearly a mile a month, said Department Secretary Anthony Foxx, who added that, taken all together, a lifetimes worth of scooting over, sliding over, scooching, and making a bit more room would equal the distance from the nations capital to Orlando, FL. The statistics are even higher in the South, where picnic season is longer. And if you count instances of scooting over, seeing the other person has already found a place, and then scooting back, many Americans travel farther by scooting than they do by motor vehicle. The studys methodology has come under fire from critics who argue it should have also counted situations in which sitters must move their chair over to make room for someone who already has their own chair. 
3	Adventures in Grocery Shopping: When Food Isnt Food (Part 2)More examples in the (ever-growing) Food Not Fit to Eat category. In an endless array of hidden ingredients lurking in grocery stores and restaurants across the land, Truthstream Media embarked on another minor adventure in trying to sift through the confusion in search of real food. Previously, we encountered artificial honey that is marketed towards diabetics (yet has almost as high a glycemic index as regular sugar), secret sauces loaded with high fructose corn syrup, as well as price incentives to encourage consumers to buy bleached products over non-bleached ones. Moreover, as informed consumers educated about the risks of GMO foods, we have challenged hidden genetically-modified ingredients at Whole Foods, the leading (and premium-priced) organic grocer, and increasingly have discovered cost-effective organic options at regular grocers amidst many other foods generally not fit for consumption. At the same time, numerous staples of the heavily-marketed Standard American Diet are known to contain genetically-modified ingredients and/or include numerous heavily processed and artificial ingredients that negate any nutritional quality it otherwise held. In just one case study, we found out more than we bargained for with Kraft Macaroni Cheese. Accessing real food is possible, but it will require each of us to unlearn what we have learned and make an effort towards rediscovering nutrition and sustenance. Just a few examples have been our experiments with bone soup and sprouts. In that vein, and in order to better make ourselves and our readers aware of issues in our foods, we are continuing to explore, albeit it randomly, some of the items generally available on a shelf near you in this second part to our series. Most are familiar with the basic choice of canned tuna in water or oil. But for many brands, it is now common to include an unspecified vegetable oil with the in water varieties. The only clear indication of what might be contained in that oil is the warning that its ingredients include soy. The biggest problem with this, apart from the fact that you may want just tuna with as little else as possible, is that 94% of soy grown in the United States in 2011 was genetically-modified, according to USDA numbers. This effectively means that nearly all soy not specifically marked as organic or non-GMO is almost certainly genetically-modified a risky endeavor which most American consumers are not even aware they are engaged in. Worse, GM soy, GM corn, GM cottonseed oil and GM canola are common hidden ingredients in all manner of popular canned and boxed foods on store shelves. There are no laws that require GMO ingredients be labeled, so if your family isnt making a deliberate effort to avoid them, they are probably consuming them. Canned tuna, like other canned items, very likely also contains bisphenol A (BPA) a hormonal disruptor that can trigger cancer, shift glandular activity and cause a long list of other health problems. Watch for hidden ingredients and read all your labels for your sake, and the health of those you love. A Reading of the Ingredients: Cool Whip Thousands of typical packaged foods on store shelves are loaded with what might be termed as what the *#%#$ is it? ingredients developed in labs for purposes including preservation and extending shelf life, flavor enhancement, imitation, cohesiveness and presentation/appearance. Eric Schlossers book Fast Food Nation exposes in part how man-made chemicals are fine-tuned in factories just off of the New Jersey turnpike to produce the flavors and smells many Americans have learned to love at the uncalculated cost of eating a compounding number of artificial foods and food byproducts. In just one example among hundreds, Cool Whip, a popular dairy-like dessert topping, contains a plethora of barely-pronounceable ingredients. In addition to already established concerns over high fructose corn syrup, which the industry attempted to rename as corn sugar, the product contains polysorbate 60 (a common thickening agent) as well as sodium caseinate. Polysorbate 60 is a manmade chemical combination of sorbitol and stearic acid, sterilized with ethylene oxide (a known carcinogen) none of which sounds like anything one should put in their mouth. Not exactly natures nectar, the common emulsifier has been found to contain 1,4-Dioxane, linked by the CDC with cancer in animal studies. Food companies have been requested to remove the ingredient, but without mandatory compliance, the slow shift of consumer pressure has led many companies to keep it in. Use of Polysorbate 60 in cosmetics has been linked to tumor formation and reproductive issues in high dose usage. Sodium Caseinate is derived from casein, a protein occurring in cows milk. It is a major component of commercial cheese products and industrial food additives. Casein can contribute to allergens, specifically: casein breaks down to produce the peptide casomorphin, which acts primarily as a histamine releaser and contributes to allergic reactions. This becomes important for those with allergens to the common cheese derivative/ingredient, as research has found that it can aggravate/inflame autism and digestive disorders, placing it on the autoimmune watch list. More to the point, one blogger did a 12-day Cool Whip experiment, demonstrating the lack of decomposition present in this and other chemically-derived foods. To the contrary, Jonathan Fields discovered that, After Day 12, I finally got the guts to touch it and found that it had begun to harden into a plastic-like substance. Yum. The challenge of affording ORGANIC Consumers have shown that theyre willing to pay extra for organic meats and produce, but will the high cost squeeze working families out of accessible healthy foods? It remains a difficult question, and until more demand GMO-free, responsible food en masse, it will be a challenge for ordinary people, but we can make the right choices with some effort! By the way, in this specific case, while the all natural chicken may have many benefits over the other tightly-caged, factory farm offerings at the grocery store, including free range chickens free of growth hormones and antibiotics, the claim of all vegetarian feed is likely hiding a diet steady with GMO corn/soy and other grain. The best chicken feed may include some grain, but includes access to worms/bugs/insects and other random small animals. (Sorry for the horrible wind noise of the meat case!) With these examples to think about, learn from and further research, we leave you until another episode of Adventures in Grocery Shopping: When Food Isnt Food! AARON DYKES AND MELISSA MELTONcreated TruthstreamMedia.com, where this article 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	Just two years after unveiling the talking remote-controlled meat thermometer and the telescope with an mp4 player, scientists at Brookstone, Inc., reported Tuesday that the towel alarm clock, which even the most optimistic upscale-gadgetry experts believed could not be available until at least the 22nd century, is a mere decade away from becoming a reality. A Brookstone scientist works to perfect the near-impossible. Sources from Brookstone Labs, the top-secret, 1,200-acre high-tech gift-development facility perhaps most famous for being the birthplace of the video toothbrush, said that a viable towel alarm clock could be sold to consumers as early as 2017 thanks to recent advances in ferromagnetism, piezoelectric actuators, and cotton. 'This device will forever change the way we live,' said Bryan Davies, Brookstone's executive director of research. 'No longer will people have to lug their alarm clock from the bedroom to the shower every morning.' 'The days of not having an alarm clock on your towel will soon be over,' Davies added. A concept that once existed only in the annals of science fiction and in the fantastical predictions of unique-gift visionaries, the towel alarm clock will allow man to simultaneously dry himself and receive aural alerts when a specific, user-preset time is reached. 'Whether in the locker room, by the pool, or at the beachanywhere towels and alarm clocks once existed separatelythe two will finally be brought together in the name of human progress,' said Davies, noting that the projected sleek, sensitive design will allow the towel to easily conform to one's body shape, and that the clock can be used for up to 150 million years without losing a single second of time. 'This could go down as the single greatest creation since the vibrating wallet-phone.' Davies would not elaborate on the exact look of the product, describing it only as 'exactly what you thought a towel alarm clock would look like when you were a kid.' He did, however, verify that prototypes of the product have been composed of bamboo yarn, Egyptian cotton, a Flexi-Flat liquid crystal display screen, transparent electrodes, and polarizing light filters. The clock mechanism automatically synchronizes itself with a signal sent from atomic clocks based in Colorado, guaranteeing an exceptional accuracy previously seen only in towel-less timepieces. There is also a snooze button. According to lead engineer Dr. Gregory Spriggs, production on the towel alarm clock was not without its setbacks. In 2003, the scientists experienced problems knitting a 470-microfarad electrolytic capacitor into the fabric, and in 2005, work came to a standstill for weeks as they heatedly debated whether the alarm should be a 'buzz' or 'beep' noise. Last year, the scientists unveiled their first prototype, but the design had to be rethought following a series of injuries, numerous third-degree burns, and one fatality during the product's initial testing phase. 'This product is admittedly more complex than, say, a can opener with three handles,' said Spriggs, gesturing toward Brookstone's new tri-handled flex-grip can opener. 'But if this groundbreaking commingling of towel and alarm clock truly comes to pass, we might soon live in a world where people will never be late or wet again.' This accelerated effort to complete the towel alarm clock has forced Brookstone to put several other inventions on the back- burner, including the self-serving pie tin, the motorized travel pillow, and the digital voice recorder hammock. However, Davies said that production of the hands-free golf putter and EnglishFrench translator is on schedule and the products will be in Brookstone stores in time for Father's Day 2008. In response to Brookstone's announcement, rivals Sharper Image and Hammacher Schlemmer revealed that they, too, have spent years secretly working on their own versions of the towel alarm clock, aiming to release them in the next five years. Both versions will reportedly include extra features, such as a stopwatch function and a compass. Brookstone's Davies, however, was quick to criticize his competition. 'Regardless of who releases the product first, they'll never match the quality, simplicity, and durability of our towel alarm clock,' Davies said. 'Besides, why would anyone ever need a compass on their towel?'

Best of all? Its extraordinarily simple. All you need to do is pour water on the bacon at the optimal time while it cooks. This keeps the temperature low, so the bacon stays moist and tender. Watch the video below for a few quick pointers, and prepare to have some crispy and delicious bacon! 
1	Saying that it is time for change to come to Arizona, President Barack Obama on Tuesday formally announced that he will run for Senate against John McCain in the 2010 election. Obama asks Arizona voters to send another message to Washington and John McCain. Addressing a capacity crowd of nearly 72,000 at University of Phoenix Stadium, Obama stood before a giant banner emblazoned with his new 'President Obama for Senate' logoa basic facsimile of his 2008 campaign emblem with a cactus inscribed in the centerand called on voters to 'turn the page and write the next chapter in the great Arizona story.' 'I am, and always have been, motivated by a single, powerful idea: that I might one day play a small part in building a better Arizona,' Obama said. 'So I ask you today to join me in this quest. Our children, and our children's children, deserve it. Together, we can meet the challenges we face. Together, we can send a message to Washington, and together, we can beat John McCain.' 'Yes, we can in Arizona,' Obama continued to overwhelming applause. 'Yes, we can in Arizona. Yes, we can beat John McCain. Yes, we can in Arizona.' Repeatedly throughout his speech, Obama labeled McCain as a Washington insider and criticized the 73-year-old four-term senator for being out of touch with everyday Arizonans. While acknowledging respect for his opponent's military record and years of public service, the president argued that being a decorated war veteran has little to do with improving Arizona's schools and putting its citizens back to work. 'Let me be clear: John McCain is a good man,' Obama said. 'He has served this state nobly for more than 20 years. But where was John McCain last year when the economy collapsed and the housing bubble burst? Was he here in Arizona looking out for families in need? Or was he crisscrossing the nation trying to further his own political career?' John McCain meets with many of his supporters at a local Arizona diner. According to Beltway observers, Obama's candidacy should come as no surprise. The 44th president has reportedly kept a close eye on McCain's poll numbers in Arizona, and launched a senatorial exploratory committee last November just hours after McCain confirmed that he would run for a fifth term. 'The key thing we learned in 2008 is that McCain is beatable,' campaign manager David Plouffe said. 'And our goal is to continue to exploit that, whether he is running for the Senate, mayor of Phoenix, or board president at an assisted living facility.' Obama has continued to keep pressure on McCain for months, most notably by befriending the senator's closest war compatriots, becoming a frequent commenter on daughter Meghan McCain's blog, writing a best-selling book entitled The One And Only House I Own, and sending flowers to McCain's wife on her birthday and anniversary. Obama even made history in May by coauthoring the Obama-Feingold Act, a bill the president said 'vastly improves' upon previous groundbreaking campaign finance legislation. 'My fellow Arizonans, we have an opportunity to do something special next November,' Obama said. 'With a strong ally in the White House, the issues that matter most to our state will finally be pushed to the forefront of Washington's agenda. Issues like economic recovery, immigration reform, and the simple satisfaction of watching a broken, elderly man realize that the one thing in life he could still cling to is no longer his.' Using the nearly $30 million in campaign fundraising leftover from his presidential bid, Obama has mobilized a massive grassroots movement on a scale never before seen in a Senate race. More than 400,000 volunteers have flooded Arizona since his announcement, and nearly 350 Obama campaign offices have opened throughout the state. Early polls indicate McCain is leading by four percentage points. But Obama's numbers are expected to increase in the next 18 months, during which he plans to spend less time in Washington and focus his efforts on winning in Arizona. According to constituents, the president's commitment may already be paying off. 'I've voted for John McCain in the last four elections, but I have to admit I'm intrigued by Barack Obama,' Flagstaff resident Evan Casillas said. 'I know John McCain. I like John McCain. He would probably continue to do well as senator. But that Barack Obama is awfully charismatic.' As of press time, McCain was not available for comment, as members of his Senate staff indicated he had left his office earlier in the day to take a long walk and clear his head. 
2	Obama Admin Panicking After Mysterious Landing Strip In Nevada Desert Discovered According to recent reports, a mile-long landing strip in the remote Nevada desert is believed by some to be the home base for testing sensors on a top-secret fleet of drones The asphalt landing strip is in Area 6 of the Yucca Flat test site, just 12 miles northeast of the famous Area 51. Google Earth reveals that a handful of hangars with clamshell doors are clustered at one end of the mysterious airstrip. The area does not have a name, and is fenced off. It can be seen from the road by those touring the Nevada National Security Site of Yucca Flat. The area is famous for the hundreds of nuclear tests that have been conducted by the military there over the past few decades. Little is known about Area 6, but the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security both use the location. They come here to test their own sensors, Darwin Morgan, a spokesperson for the National Nuclear Security Administration told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Officials with the government have been hesitant to reveal any details about the site, but a 7,500 page document on nuclear safety includes a paragraph about Area 6, describing it as an aerial operations facility. The purpose of the facility is to construct, operate, and test a variety of unmanned aerial vehicles, the report notes. Tests include, but are not limited to, airframe modifications, sensor operation, and onboard computer development. A small, manned chase plane is used to track the unmanned aerial vehicles. The airstrip was built in 2008 for $9.6 million, and the airspace above it is controlled. What do you think of this mysterious airstrip? 
1	Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning was barely able to compose himself as he apologized to his family, friends, coaches, team, and fans Tuesday, tearfully admitting that he had in fact cheated during a 1981 game of hide and seek by deliberately hiding inside his house even though it had been declared off-limits. 'Although I was young, I still knew right from wrong, and youth is no excuse for my actions,' the two-time NFL MVP told reporters during a 90-minute press conference. 'This was no way for the best player to ever play football, let alone quarterback, to act. I'm willing to accept any punishment the NFL wishes to hand down, whether they choose to suspend me for the first a quarter of a game or even for an entire first half.' Despite leaving a total of 54 messages on Roger Goodell's voicemail, Manning said the NFL commissioner had yet to inform him of any punishment. 
2	See Why Oprahs Family Is Turning On Her Barbara Winfrey, Oprahs former stepmother, has been speaking about her once daughter-in-laws actions, which ultimately forced her to move out of the home that she once shared with Vernon Winfrey. Oprah has set out to ruin me, destroy me, Barbara told reporters, To take this house away is petty. This has been my home for 14 years. Barbara and Vernon have been in the middle of divorce proceedings for the last year and a half. Still, despite the ongoing proceedings and the significant length of marriage, Oprah gave Barbara until this week to vacate and leave the $1.4 million Nashville home. Oprah originally purchased the home for the couple. Oprahs a billionaire three times over, her help lives better than this, Barbara continued, She said publicly that she offered to sell the house and give me the proceeds, but thats a lie. She never said that. Oprah owns property all over the world, so there is no reason to sell this house, other than to spite me. Its a personal vendetta. What do you think of Oprahs actions? Is it cruel for her to force someone who was once so close to her out of the house she owns? Are her actions malicious? 
3	Gardening More Meaningful than Voting in a Rigged Political SystemBy Alex Pietrowski Every four years when the big election comes around, millions of people put their passion for creating a better world into an increasingly corrupt and absurd political contest. What if that energy was instead invested in something worthwhile, something thatdirectly and immediately improved life, community, and the world at large? The simple act of growing our own fooddirectly challenges the control matrix in manyauthenticways, which is why some of the most forward-thinking and strongest-willed people are picking up shovels and defiantly starting gardens. It has become much more of a meaningful political statement than supporting political parties and candidates. Propaganda gardening, a combination of guerrilla gardening and political protest, is about developing self-sufficiency while making a simple, yet bold statement about the world we all share, and the rules we choose to live by. [Source] Take, for example, Ron Finley,the Guerrilla Gardener from Los Angeles who inspiresthe world with no-nonsense truth about how the corporate food system enslaves us, while proving to us that themost effective weapon in this fight is fertile soil. He makes growing veggiescool again, as it should be, because food sovereignty is the very foundation of personal independence. I live in a food prison.. Its all by design just like prisons are by designed. I just got tired of being an inmate. So I figured, let me change this paradigm, let me grown my own food. This is one thing I can do to escape this predestined life that I have unwillingly subscribed to. Ron Finley Think about it. Creating your own food supply challenges the status quo in a number of important ways. Growing your own food: When united, awareness and action create the kind of changes that a rigid control system cannot tolerate, and when extraordinary people like Ron Finley take the lead, a meaningful movement can take hold. This is real action, it is very effective, and as it becomes more mainstream to set up gardens in your yard and on your block, we will witness the re-emergence of the kind of society we just cannot create by playing by the rules ofa rigged system. I had sixty people putting in an urban garden while you all were marching. Now who do you think was more effective? Ron Finley Heres Ron in a recent interview with Marc Angeloof the Superhero Academy: Just a few generations ago, gardening for sustenance was not the fringe activity that it has become in recent decades, because it was a basic daily act of survival. One that will rise again as a controlled economy and engineered economic collapse will make it imperative to join forces with your community and defend your personal sovereignty. Why dont you churches get together instead of with your my religion is better than yours bullshit, and get together and put in a healthy food market isnt that doing good business? If your people live longer, dont you get more money? Ron Finley What happens when you transform yourself by deepening your connection to nature? What happens when you then transform your community by bringing your neighbors together in the goal of providing something of immense value to all? What happens then when a nation of transformed communities sees their world without the boundaries of and limitations imposed on us by a corrupt system? The four-year cycle of presidential politics in the US is far more effective at stealing the constructive energy of motivated people than it is at bringing about meaningful change to our lives, communities and to the nation as a whole. Time to try something far more effective and rewarding. Lets overgrow the system, and transform our health and communities in the process. For a sign that this movement is spreading across the nation, check out this homegrown music video, Gardening is Gangsta, by Mark Jankins and Sifu Paul Davis. I dont rely on new food stamps. Cuz every season got me harvesting some new plants. Alex Pietrowski is an artist and writer concerned with preserving good health and the basic freedom to enjoy a healthy lifestyle.

Nutrient-dense, organic greens are also our best healthcare system and personal medicine cabinet. As society is bombarded with anemic, chemicalized food products, dirty vaccines, questionable drugs and increased pollution (fracking releases devastating chemicals into the air, water and soil). The silent chemical war on citizens is being fought with the exploding awareness of raw food lifestyle and growing our own. YEEAAAthis is the only way to beat the satanic elite and their system ! Gardening takes time to learn, mostly learning has to be done trial and error. Sure there are great books for guidance but you gotta get dirty and sweaty and keep reading. Ive been gardening since I was a little kid and have tons of formal education and I teach gardening. But dang I will never know it all and I still make mistakes. I also know wilderness survival and plant id. I worry that people will not do the work to have a good foundation of knowledge and experience and really get nervous about MEDICINE CABINETS and playing doctor with natural ingredients. I wouldnt take stuff or prescribe anything without MORE research and I know ive got a great foundation. Just because stuff is ORGANIC does NOT mean safety nor does it mean you can try things or taste things without REALLY knowing that plant. I know enough to not even bother with mushrooms for instanceIve seen the look alikes and I know what the ingestion of just one mistake can do to the human body. And Standing on the Shoulders of Genius is applicable with us. People that have a well built foundation of knowledge can write books and then someone reads that book then thinks they now have that authors knowledge to include experience, erroneous thinking, and will go out and forage for mushrooms (for instance). Or stuff like B17 from seeds of pome fruits that has been seen to possibly having cancer mitigating properties and if some is good then more is better thinking can easily cause problems. As you learn to garden and go out into the wilderness take it easy and just dont put anything in your mouth that you do not understand. Book smarts help but are not enough to dinker with plants and the medicine cabinet until truly earning ones green thumb. Of course youll find the more you learn,the more you know in this botanical/biological/chemical world the more you will find you DONT KNOW. Just a cautionall of you know there are tons of books, internet sites that are totally bogus. Look at the mistakes just in DIET BOOKS! Bad Bad wrong gross information that because it is in a book people believe it is truth. For great gardening information look up Shane Smith(Georgia, greenhouses), Michael Dirrand just recently found Jorge Cervantes Cannabis Encyclopedia. I was surprised! Although it deals with just one plant, because it deals with one plant, he can get into detail unseen in most books. Instead of learning all these thousands and thousands of plants with different needs he shows the HUGENESS of the care of just ONE WEED. Literally! This was a super book for all gardeners including wannabes!! FREE HEALTH here and now = GO RAW VEGAN and heal all physical, mental and even GENETIC disorders. Marching is also important if you are marching against Monsanto.. Because awareness and education are key if anything is going to change. People have to learn WHY they need to be self sustainable. 
2	Trump Family Announces Who They Are Going To Bring Into The White House After being declared the winner of the presidential election, Donald Trump has already saved more than a thousand jobs from going to Mexico and raked in an estimated 50,000 jobs from Japan. Its clear he intends to be a man of his wordjust look at the people he is bringing in to fill his cabinet positions. According to one Palm Beach socialite and family friend, Trump is still missing something. He doesnt have a first pooch to join him in the White House! Now, the world has nominated an adorable nine-week-old poodle and golden retriever mix as a prime candidatecourtesy of philanthropist and animal welfare advocate Lois Pope. He also shared his name with a WWII general Trump greatly admires. Pope recently took a cell phone photo of Patton and showed it to Trump on Thanksgiving. Trump immediately declared Patton a hero dog. Im sure hell want it, Trump told Pope of his 10-year-old son Barron. Of course, he was very enthusiastic about the idea. What do you think? Should Trump buy Patton to fulfill the 150-year-old tradition of first families having a first dog? 
2	Protestors Stomp On American Flag, So Airforce Vet Takes Immediate Action According to recent reports, Air Force veteran Michelle Manhart was detained in Georgia after she took a flag from Valdosta State University protestors who were stomping all over it. A video of the altercation shows Manhart debating with the protestors, as she pries the flag from their hands. This flag actually belongs to the entire United States, Manhart tells the group. The protestors then begin to taunt surrounding cops, stating that they are not arresting Manhart only because she is white. Is that not theft? one of the voices in the crowd asks police. If this had been in the hood you wouldve had a n***a in some handcuffs right now. Look at that white privilege. Manhart then goes on to demand why the police arent standing up for the flag. If your cause is racism then find some white people and walk on them, Manhart tells the protestors. But to walk on the flag is walking on our symbol of freedom. You have the freedom to do what you are doing because of it. Im not fighting against them. Im fighting against the way they are going about it. What do you think of Manharts arrest? Was she right to defend our flag?

So far his count is up to three, but has plans to kill hundreds more ISIS members. It seems he wont give up until theyre all gone or hes dead. Lets hope its the former. This man has become notorious in ISIS circles, and they have begun doing sweeps across the city of Sirte, where he was seen last. Killing 3 high officials in just 10 days, this man could put a big dent into ISIS leadership. This man has been given the name, the Daesh hunter via social media. Hes becoming famous quickly, and it is well deserved fame at that. Maybe the U.S. should send in a team of trained snipers to do the same thing. Seems more effective than anything Obama has been doing about the matter. Do you think this would be an effective tactic for the U.S. to use? 
1	Fox Entertainment president Peter Liguori announced Thursday that the network is pulling the plug on ALCS, the new three-hour drama/comedy about two rival clubs competing for the coveted 'pennant,' just two shows into its run. 'This uninspired series featured a cast of uninteresting characters, a hackneyed plot, and more boring narration than actual meaningful dialogue,' Liguori said. 'We tried to find an audience on Tuesdays, then on Wednesdays, and we were prepared to move its time slot to Friday nights or Saturday afternoons before ultimately realizing that the series had zero potential.' Television experts cited several other possible reasons for the early cancellation, such as the overly expensive sets and costumes, the show's subject matter, and the fact that the series' projected breakout charactera brash, outspoken black man named Carl Everetttested very poorly with audiences. Fox remains optimistic about its other fledgling program, NLCS, but critics say the series has 'very little chance' of making it past seven episodes. 
2	Michelle Obama Runs Her Mouth At Marine About Racism, Learns Immediately That Was A HUGE Mistake Throughout Barack Obamas presidency, Michelle has demonstrated that she has little respect for the U.S. military and the nations law enforcement. Instead, she repeatedly cast her support behind race-baiters. Finally, a United States Marine decided to stand up for the First Lady, after witnessing her complaining about racism in the country at Tuskegee University. During the speech, Michelle praised the Tuskegee airmen of World War II, before turning her attention to something else entirely. She decided to tell students that they need to prepare for the onslaught of racism that will come their wayciting how difficult it has been for her and the President. Back when my husband first started campaigning for President, folks had all sorts of questions of me: What kind of First Lady would I be? Michelle began. What kinds of issues would I take on? Would I be more like Laura Bush, or Hillary Clinton, or Nancy Reagan? And the truth is, those same questions would have been posed to any candidates spouse. Thats just the way the process works. But, as potentially the first African American First Lady, I was also the focus of another set of questions and speculations; conversations sometimes rooted in the fears and misperceptions of others. Was I too loud, or too angry, or too emasculating? Or was I too soft, too much of a mom, not enough of a career woman? The speech led one commentator to describe Michelle as a social agitator. But one Marine had a more aggressive message for her. Read his letter below and tell us what you think: Mrs. Obama It sickens me that I have to take time to write you this letter. I am a Marine who doesnt recognize color because every color has lived and died for you. You live in a free country to blame your life on the color of another mans skin. All colors have given their lives for an educated woman to have the freedom to be so ignorant. I dont blame black people for the ignorance that comes from your mouth. I love all colors because I love all that God creates. I dont have to like you to love you because we cant always like the ones we love. Just because I dont like you today doesnt mean I cant like you tomorrow. I dont like you or your husband today because of what youre doing to this country. Isnt it funny how the truth always reveals itself in time? You and your husband never showed this side of yourselves in 2008 before he was elected. You both live better than 99% of the people in this world because of this country. You said that you are for the first time proud to be an American. Well, I will tell you that most of us are ashamed of you. You and your husband have become millionaires off the people of this country, but demonstrate very little appreciation for all that we give. White, black, brown or indifferent millions have fought and died for you to have the freedom to say the ignorant things you say. 
3	Researchers Link BPA to Reproductive Problems, Abnormal Egg DevelopmentLisa Garber All the eggs that a female is going to have in her lifetime are formed before birth, says researcher Catherine VandeVoort of University of California, Davis. Anything that disrupts that process is going to have an impact later in life. Impaired Follicles and Division For the study (which will be published next week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences), scientists put fetal monkeys in two groups. A control group remained unexposed to BPA while another group was exposed to the chemical through daily food during second or third trimesters or through an implant that administered constant, low doses of BPA. The eggs of fetuses exposed to BPA had difficulty forming follicles, which surround eggs during development. Being unprotected in this manner often leads to eggs dying before maturation, according to VandeVoort. Other abnormalities seen in the eggs were signs that they would carry too many chromosomes from being unable to divide during development, leading to miscarriages or disorders like Down Syndrome. Closest yet to Human Study, Effects Researchers dont test the effects BPA on people, but because the latest research was conducted on monkeys, who have similar reproductive systems to ours, scientists prize the new results. This is the closest we can get to humans, says Tufts University professor Dr. Ana Soto. This isnt the first study to link BPA to fertility problems. The chemical has also been tied to adversely affecting male genital development and subsequently targeting fertility rates. The study examined the effect of BPA on Anogenital distance the distance between the genitalia and the anus, and biologically very important. AGD has been linked to fertility in males, making the affect of BPA on the male reproductive system quite significant. And while BPA is slowly being replaced with a more toxic substance known as BPS chemical, BPA is still used widely today. Found in a multitude of products, food, and even paper money, BPA has also been linked to the following conditions: To begin naturally reversing the effects of BPA exposure, donate or throw away plastic food and drink containers in favor of reusable, stainless steel varieties and avoid packaged foods that come in cans or plastic.

2	AntiSheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County in Arizona has made a name for himself as a controversial supporter of stricter border enforcement and a strong Trump supporter. Liberals have accused Arpaio of deliberately profiling Hispanics in his county. Now, its been announced that the sheriff will be in charge of policing a Donald Trump rally. Weve seen these rallies turn violent, with escalating tension between protestors and supporters. Of course, Arpaio is not afraid. Here Im going to be kinda wearing two hatsin charge of the security there in the town and also participating, I would imagine, with Trump in the rally, so it makes it interesting, Arpaio told reporters at POLITICO. Its going to be a lot of fun taking care of business there, he concluded. What do you think of Sheriff Arpaio being present at the rally? 
2	Obama Just Said That Anyone Who Opposes Him Is A Terrorist [VIDEO] Recently, President Obama gave a controversial speech at American University, during which he argued that anyone who opposes him is akin to a terrorist. The comments were clearly intended to push those Americans that disagree with him on the Iranian deal into submission, and its disgusting that he decided to make such comments at a venue that hosts such young and impressionable minds. The deal has received immense criticism from both Democrats and Republicans for its lack of substance, enforcement and detail. Most people can just acknowledge that such an agreement is just a bad idea. Just because Iranian hard-liners chant death to America does not mean thats what all Iranians believe, Obama commented. In fact, its those hard-liners who are most comfortable with the status quo. Its those hard-liners chanting death to America who have been most opposed to the deal. Theyre making common cause with the Republican caucus. Watch the video below and tell us what you think of Obamas tasteless comments. 
2	BREAKING: Governor Signs Law Banning Husband And Wife For This SICKENING Reason Conservatives feared that when the Supreme Court ruled in favor of same-sex marriage, it would only be the beginning. Now, this is proving to be the case. According to recent reports, California Governor Jerry Brown has just signed a bill removing the words husband and wife from the states marriage laws. The words will now be replaced with the word spouse. Brown reportedly signed bill SB1306 because the words husband and wife were perceived to be discriminatory against gays. I am pleased Gov. Brown has recognized the importance of this bill, which makes it explicitly clear in state law that every loving couple has the right to marry in California, Senator Mark Leno, who wrote the bill, said in a statement. This legislation removed outdated and biased language from state codes and recognizes all married spouses equally, regardless of their gender. What do you think of the new legislation? 
1	Saying their gel-filled kangaroo-leather palms give him 'the control and comfort I need for the perfect swing,' Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia signed a deal Monday with equipment and accessory maker Easton to endorse the company's new line of gaveling gloves. 'When you're the longest-serving man on the bench, you get to know what works and what doesn't,' said Scalia, who under the terms of other endorsement contracts has worn Under Armour robes and penned Gatorade dissenting opinions. 'Easton gaveling gloves reduce sting, increase grip, and give me the confidence I need to make the tough decisions.' Easton ended its sponsorship of Clarence Thomas following the justice's 2009 corked-gavel scandal. 
2	Michelle Obama Just Got Brutally Humiliated... This Is Hilarious According to recent reports, Russian TV host Dmitry Kiselyov has just announced during his prime-time program News of the Week, the launch of new documentary that will expose corruption in the United states. This is not fairto forget about American corruption, he commented. about how they get fat on the money of American taxpayers there. The film is titled Emperor Obama, and focuses on the ways that the Obamas have taken advantage of their position in the White House. The trailer for the documentary dives right in with an attack on Michelle Obama. The information on our clients in strictly confidential, a hotel manager at the Villa Padierna tells an interviewer on camera. But I can confirm that Michelle Obama really stayed in our hotel. She was our most famous guest. Since then, we named one of our villas after her. Villa Obama has three floors, two bedrooms, one swimming pool and a big living room. Here are the official numbers, the reporter comments. For the week starting August fourth, 131,000 Americans were fired, losing their incomes and jobs. At that moment, Michelle Obama was on vacation, and the taxpayers were paying $6,000 a night for this hotel suite. The documentary then goes on to explore the Obama family vacations in their entirety. The 44th American president goes on vacation twice a yearin the summer and during Christmas, the reporter continues. Over the seven years of his presidency, American taxpayers spent between $10 million and $74 million a year on vacations for the first American family. To understand how such unbelievable expenses accumulate, the cost for only the plane and bodyguards when Mr. Obama flew his family to Hawaii, in 2014, was $5,316,000. What do you think? Will you be tuning in to this documentary? 
2	BREAKING: Donald Trump Just Received Amazing News... Not Even He Expected THIS Presidential candidate and legendary businessman Donald Trump has been at the center of controversy ever since he initially made his campaign announcement. Despite criticisms, Fox News has just announced that Trump has expanded his lead among Republican candidates. Many are viewing him as our chance to shut down Hillary Clinton. The poll was conducted shortly after Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker made his announcement. Trump currently captures 18 percent of Republican primary voters, and Walker follows closely with 15 percent. Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is weighing in at 14 percent, and all other Republican candidates remain in the single digits. Support for Trump has shot up 14 points since May, 7 of which occurred in the last month alone. He also is the candidate that GOP voters say that want to learn more about during the debates. What do you think? Do you support Donald Trump? 
3	Do You Know What Freedom Is?Bohemian Dad Heres a funny man on the street segment from last year proving this point: So this Independence Day, we feel its important to define what freedom means to us. But, first, Ill tell you what freedom isnt. It isnt celebrating once-a-year with beer and fireworks about America declaring independence from England 236 years ago. That has very little to do with defining individual freedom in 2012. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are vital to be remembered, and just their existence sets America apart from most nations in how we define rights and freedom. But, just as have most Americans have forgotten (or never learned) the Constitution, so have the lawmakers. With the overwhelming onslaught of rules and regulations resulting in the largest prison population in the world, America should hardly be considered the land of the free. By the way, do you have a permit for those fireworks? Nobody would even understand this question in Latin America or Asia. They would laugh if an official started demanding such things. I dont want to come off as anti-America because, as Americans, we are much more fortunate than many peoples of the world not just in physical wealth, but also in our beliefs. By beliefs, I mean the belief that we are able to achieve anything we put our mind to. There is immense value to that concept which most of the rest of the world simply doesnt possess. Additionally, as Americans, we are able to freely travel to most countries of the world because our passport is granted easy access. So, its not all bad to be American compared to most other nationalities. Yet, the freedom to beunobstructedto live your life as you choose is unquestionably deteriorating in America. Whether its government laws and regulations or economics, the majority of people seem to feel trapped within confines of their 9-5 lifestyle. Its a lifestyle of dependence; dependence on your company for a job and health insurance, dependence on government assistance or social security, dependence on debt and credit cards, water companies, electric companies, factory food, etc. The list goes on and on. As Thomas Jefferson wrote, Dependence begets subservience and venality, suffocates the germ of virtue, and prepares fit tools for the designs of ambition. Real freedom is primarily about choices. And although choices may appear to be systematically eliminated, we always have choices. Remember, Americans believe we can do anything. Where theres a will, theres still a way. Thankfully. We are free because we choose to be. Personally, we travel the world unobstructed, work for ourselves, homeschool the kids, and generally do what we want. Our goal is to make every day feel like Saturday. Living our lifestyle in America would be difficult-to-impossible in many ways, from the high cost of living, to restrictions on homeschoolers. In other words, there are obstructions to our freedom there. So we chose a life of adventure, traveling the world as digital nomads. Were lucky enough to make our money independently so we have the freedom to travel. But, significantly, we decided to choose freedom over conformity. Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth. John F. Kennedy We are not unique. Everyone can choose to be less dependent on the system and become more self-reliant. With each step you make towards the goal of being self-sufficient, the more free you become. The less dependent you are, the more choices you have. Its that simple. Dont expect governments to give you more freedom. As weve witnessed in recent years, they can only remove freedom. Only you can define what freedom means to you and then pursue that path in your personal life and through broader activism. So this American Independence Day 2012, take the time to reflect on what individual freedom means to you and go after it. Its yours for the taking.

3	Wall Street Whistleblower: Subliminals Added to TVTelevision is mass mind control, and the Internet and cell phones are using the technology, too. Former managing director and member 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 relays a chilling conversation she overheard circa 1984 while working on Wall Street, where executives discussed how subliminals and entrainment technology was about to be deployed through the television waves. In an exclusive snippet from a Truthstream Media.com interview, Fitts, who now publishes Solari.com and gives personal investment advice, said she was so frightened by hearing a conversation she was never authorized to hear, that she threw out her TV for good. But Catherine Austin Fitts further warns that the television is not the only media devices that uses these techniques and by now, surely more advanced techniques to persuade consumers, quell opposition and encourage the status quo.

2	Sean Hannity Just Took An Epic Stand For Trump, Destroys Juan Williams And Megyn Kelly In The Process This has been a sad year for the media, with corruption and bias more evident than ever before. Sean Hannity, for instance, has drawn criticism from his own colleagues at Fox News for consistently supporting his own partys nominee for President, Donald Trump. While Megyn Kelly, Juan Williams, Shepard Smith and Geraldo Rivera were busy jumping ship to avoid controversy, Hannity offered unwavering loyalty to conservatives. Even in light of the departure of CEO Roger Ailes, executives at Fox News remain behind Trump and have supported Hannitys efforts to boost support for the now president-elect. Fortunately, Hannity is not willing to back down, even amidst liberal backlash and protests from Election Night. My bosses have only given me nothing but support and appreciation for the high ratings I get, Hannity commented. As far as my colleagues? I dont mean this to be disrespectful, but I dont care what they think. Theyve got their role, and Ive got mine. What do you think? Do you support Hannity?

1	Complaining that the quarterback has kept up the annoying habit throughout training camp, several members of the New England Patriots admitted to reporters Thursday that they have grown tired of Jimmy Garoppolo beginning every huddle by stating This is my team now. Hes always taking time before calling the play to remind us that Toms gone and hes running the showits really starting to get on everyones nerves, said Patriots receiver Danny Amendola, adding that Garoppolo slowly makes eye contact with each of the 10 other offensive players while reiterating that he is the undisputed face of the franchise. We usually get to the line of scrimmage with around five seconds left on the play clock because he keeps telling everybody to forget about Tom and look up to him now. And I dont know how many more times I can stand hearing him tell us that if we have a problem with a play call, we should take it up with his Super Bowl ring. Team sources also confirmed that every player on the Patriots roster has thus far refused to call Garoppolo by his self-appointed nickname, The Future. 
3	Organizing Against TyrannyBrandon Smith For the liberty movement, the movement against globalization and forced centralization of financial and political power, lies are simply not an option. The internationalists have already cornered the market on lies, so we must take a completely contrary approach. We must organize around the truth, no matter how painful it happens to be. This is a much more difficult prospect, one many people dont understand or appreciate. There are a lot of complaints in the movement about the lack of what they consider effective organization, and the frustration is in some ways beginning to evolve into fear. Here are some core inconsistencies I believe are at the heart of organizational problems within the liberty movement and what we can do to solve them. Re-examining Our Concept Of Real Organization For multiple generations, Americans and most of the rest of the world have been conditioned to believe that organization is a top-down affair that requires a central leadership that hands orders across the ranks of a rigid structure. The people within the structure operate as parts of a greater machine, and the success of the machine is (supposedly) directly related to how close the smaller parts (people) work together and follow those orders. Unfortunately, many activists in the liberty movement also assume that this is what an organization is and how it works. Surely, there is a need for people with a talent to inspire others to thought and to action. But these men and women are nothing unless they can motivate individuals to eventually take their own initiative without orders. A true leader is a teacher nothing more. And if he really cares about the future prosperity of the people he is teaching, that teachers objective will be for his students to exceed his own capabilities and to become independent in their accomplishments. For a movement driven by a desire for the preservation of freedom and sovereignty, organization requires structure, but not rigidity or centralized leadership. The collectivist model of the human machine or hive is a flawed model that oppresses individual contributions that could be revolutionary. The corporate model, for instance, is a perfect example of an organization built mostly on lies (just look at the inconsistencies of real debts versus real profits for most major companies) and that fuels itself on the integration of people as replaceable gears and bolts on a rusted, shuddering Ferris wheel ride. Corporations might appear to make money, but they never meet their ultimate potential as organizations because most of the people within them could not care less about the purpose or even health of the system as long as they continue to draw a paycheck. When an organization merely limps along on the thin thread of the survival principle, this is the opposite of success. The liberty movement has to abandon outmoded and ill-conceived notions of mainstream organizational models and take more stock in decentralized activity. A lack of an arbitrarily designated pecking order or the pyramid scheme of top-down branching management is a good thing for our cause, not a disadvantage. Legitimate Structure And Purpose Just because a movement is decentralized does not mean it should lack a foundation, and that foundation should be composed of a primary purpose and a primary plan of action. This is where some liberty activists seem to become most nihilistic in their thinking. They have been looking for top-down leadership, which doesnt exist and shouldnt exist. They have been looking for a set plan of attack, which no one can seem to agree on. And they moan relentlessly about what they see as the lack of a singular, universal vision of what the ultimate goal should be. I have heard the argument more than once that the liberty movement will fail because victory would require us to all agree on one ideological vision and a rather singular strategy. What they dont appear to realize is that a vision and strategy already exist that most of us agree on. Again, our society has been conditioned to see through only a very narrow window of what constitutes organization that demands we adhere to the top-down philosophy. However, most liberty activists already agree on the bottom-up goal of self-reliance and self-sufficiency in all things, from food and water to education, security and governance. There will be no mass majority movement on Washington in a V for Vendetta-style march led by some heroic masked man. And even if there were, it would accomplish nothing unless the top of the globalist pyramid was toppled (Occupy Wall Street is a good example of how such theatrics fail). This goal of a mass awakening is a common fantasy and an impractical one; but self-sufficiency, mutual aid and mutual defense are realistic efforts, given the likely short amount of time we have left. The universal vision is right in front of our faces and always has been: to break away from the corrupt mainstream system, to remove our dependency, to provide our own necessities and, thus, to remove our consent. Every liberty proponent in America should be able to pursue this goal without prompting from any centralized leadership, and it encompasses every aspect of the fight against tyranny. Make your family self-sufficient and secure without aid of government. Make your neighborhood self-sufficient and secure. Make your town or county self-sufficient and secure. If the elites try to stop you, fight back and from a position on the moral high ground. If enough communities defend themselves the prospect of martial law or totalitarian control becomes systemically impossible, politically and strategically. I rarely run into liberty advocates who disagree with this plan, yet they do nothing and refuse to even make the attempt because they are still waiting around for someone to give them a plan. Stop waiting around for the next Gandhi or George Washington and do what you already know needs to be done. It is truly as simple as that. Changing Our Idea Of Leadership As stated earlier, you do not need a man on a white horse to ride in and save you from the terrifying idea of self-responsibility. If you are waiting for someone to come down off the mountain with magical stone tablets and lead you to the promised land, you are going to find yourself rather disappointed. Despite popular belief, men do not organize other men; only ideas given focus organize men. Men rally around that which they love or that which they hate. Leadership is often incidental, or sadly, manipulative. So, by extension, we can conclude that to develop a strong organization, the ideal must be honest and honorable, the plan must be decentralized and natural for individuals to implement, and those who coordinate the organizational efforts must do so with the realization that they are stewards of the principles of that movement and that those principles are more important than their glory. If activists plan to become followers of anything, it should be solid principles. Leaders are secondary. Destructive Egomania In my time in the movement, I have seen relatively good men with sound ideals exhibit insane behavior and absurd motives when exposed to a mere 15 minutes of fame. Ego is truly the greatest Achilles heel of any activist organization. This is a fact that corrupt governments are highly aware of. If you look into the history of the FBIs subversive Cointelpro efforts from the 1950s onward, you will find a common tactic used to dismantle anti-establishment groups, which is to sow discord among organizers and coordinators by feeding egos and turning them against each other. Like the ring of power in the Lord of The Rings books, the desire for leadership can blind people to the greater cause. They develop delusions of grandeur, thinking they are the next guru, the next prophet, the next man to lead the charge to permanent historical stardom. Each person believes that if only he had the ring, if only he were the leader, he could resist the temptations of power and achieve what others could not. And so he refuses to work with others or to share the stage, or he even attempts to subvert or co-opt the legitimate accomplishments of more capable men. The only solution is to cast off the ring forever, to care nothing for the supposed glories of leadership and to work only for the betterment of others. I have also seen people within the movement fall victim to the admiration of their own fan base. Positive feedback from readers is certainly helpful, but I would be writing everything I write now even if every email I received were laced with vitriol (sometimes they are). The truth does not require fans; it functions fine without them. Liberty champions do, on occasion, receive letters of adoration from being compared to Thomas Paine all the way to being labeled the next Jesus (the former being flattering and the latter being just plain weird). The problem is not public appreciation; it is the cult of celebrity that many Americans have grown too attached to, as well as the fact that some activists in more public positions have a hard time handling positive attention without their heads expanding 10 sizes too big. The fact is I dont matter, liberty leaders and personalities dont matter, the limelight doesnt matter, and the level of our fan base doesnt matter. All that matters is how effectively and efficiently we can get the facts to the public. Organization suffers when the cult of celebrity takes over, whether in the minds of activists or in the minds of the people who represent them in the media. Fear Of Risk Leads To Inaction In my work with groups such as Oath Keepers and its Community Preparedness Team program, I have taken what some might consider sizable risks, and I have witnessed others who have gone even further. And in this risk I have seen the kinds of progress in organization I have never seen anywhere else. Without risk, there can be no organization against tyranny and, thus, no chance of success. If you are afraid to be put on the naughty list in the National Security Agency database, if you are afraid you might lose your job, if you are afraid you might be labeled an extremist or if you are afraid of uneducated public perception and this has prevented you from building mutual aid and defense groups where you live, then you have already lost everything. Fear leads to inaction, and inaction is death. I have even witnessed members of organizations attempt to prevent others from taking positive measures like training for community defense because they are so fearful of what might happen due to their affiliation they will actually work against the better goals of the people around them. All I can say is that fear-driven people have to be removed from organizational environments, or they will poison the waters until the entire venture flatlines. Risk is inevitable. It is unavoidable. All anti-establishment, anti-tyranny movements depend on it. The more people willing to take risks, the more effectively safe that risk becomes. This includes the fear of defense and the fear of losing ones life in the process. Every scenario, even the worst-case scenario, has to be considered and then set aside as irrelevant. Fear has no place in the minds or actions of liberty champions. Remove fear, and world-changing organization becomes possible. REMINDER: Alt-Markets winter donation drive is now underway!

2	After You Find Out What Michelle Obama Just Spent Your Tax Payer Dollars On, You Will Be OUTRAGED When First Lady Michelle Obama traveled to Cambodia to promote a girls education initiative there, she made the decision to book 85 single rooms, five office suites, five sleeping suites, and a conference room at the Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra, a 5-star luxury hotel. The Siem Reap hotel, which elegantly combines Khmer and French architectural design, features landscaped gardens, restaurants and bars, meeting facilities, a luxury spa and the largest free form swimming pool in Cambodia, the hotel manager told reporters. The two-day trip cost American taxpayers $242,500. The First Lady spoke for the initiative for 33 minutes. The leading luxury resort in Siem Reap also boosts a world-class 18-hole golf course at the Phokeethra Country Club, which is only a 25 minute drive from the hotel, the manager continued. During her trip, the First Lady also spent an additional $12,230 at other hotels for miscellaneous costs. What do you think? Are you sick and tired of the Obamas lavish spending at taxpayer expense? 
2	Texas Fireman Responds To Islamic Center Fire With Extremely Controversial Tweet According to recent reports, a man claiming to be a firefighter in Texas responded to a massive fire at the Houston Islamic center with a tweet reading Let it burnblock the fire hydrant. The tweet came just last week, right after the Quba Islamic Institute in Houston went up in flames. Although firefighters arrived on the scene and spent more than an hour fighting and extinguishing the fire, part of the building was lost for good. The owners are left with hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages. In response to the fire, Dustin Herron, alleged to be a volunteer firefighter, sent out the controversial tweet and received instant backlash. Now, Crystal Beach Volunteer Fire Department in Houston is speaking up to make sure everyone knows that Herron is not associated with their organization. There have been recent posts on social media from someone stating they are a member of our Fire Department and have posted hate messages against the Islamic Community, a representative for the organization claimed in a statement. Please know that this person, Dustin Herron, is not a member of the Crystal Beach Volunteer Fire Dept, nor has he ever been a member of our fire department. We are in the process of trying to track down Mr. Herron regarding the comments he made. We have also notified the Galveston County Sheriff Dept. regarding Mr. Herron falsely stating he is a fire fighter within our organization. We have received many e-mails regarding his recent social media post and comments. Please know that our volunteers give 100% effort 100% of the time. According to investigators, there are suspicions that the fire was a result of arson. 
1	The nation's 14 million unemployed persons experienced a combination of rage, disbelief, and near-suicidal depression after seeing former Lions CEO Matt Millenlong regarded as one of the most resoundingly incompetent failures in management historyworking as a football analyst on Wednesday's SportsCenter. 'Matt Millen has a job?' said Brandon Martinelli of Potosi, WI, a three-time Grant County Teacher of the Year who was laid off in June after teaching high school art for 13 years. 'Matt Millen, the laughingstock who screwed up the Lions for a decade, has a joband its related to football? A job that is in fact to tell people how football should be played? While I helped dozens of underprivileged kids get scholarships to college and don't have a job at all? I just There are no words. None.' In September 2008, Millen was fired as general manager of the Lions for drafting questionable talent, interfering with coaching decisions, siding with ineffective players over knowledgeable coaches, and scapegoating team personnel to the press instead of taking responsibility for his endless litany of mistakes. Meanwhile, across the United States, the jobless rate skyrocketed as employers laid off millions of workersmany of them, unlike Millen, efficient and highly skilledin attempts to stay solvent. In May 2009, a month in which the economy shed 345,00 jobs, ESPN announced it would be hiring Millen as a football analyst. 'I can't believe this guy got an interview, let alone got hired,' said Bainridge, WA textile designer Cynthia Anderson, whose fabrics were considered among the field's best before the collapse of the domestic apparel industry in 2010. 'What motivation do I have to go out there and apply for work while this dipshit is on national television?' When approached for details, ESPN initially refused to comment on its hiring practices or reasons for employing Millen, who was a catastrophic failure at every level of football that did not involve tackling and is perhaps the man most synonymous with football-related ignorance in living memory. Sources at the network also refused to comment on the wisdom of showing the flagrantly employed Millen during broadcasts watched by many of the nation's jobless. 'Matt Millen has 35 years of football experience, including several as team president for the Detroit Lions,' read an evidently unironic and nonsarcastic statement issued by ESPN late Thursday. 'Millen has an informative and unique perspective on the game.' 'Who else was in line for this position? Didn't anyone want it? I have nothing but questions,' said out-of-work Detroit automotive engineer Ben Wojciechowski, who designed fuel-injection systems before being laid off in 2009, a year in which Millen was featured during the Super Bowl pregame show. 'Does ESPN hate football? Do they hate their viewers? Because I know about 40 unemployed guys down at the sports bar who could do that job better than Matt Millen.' At press time, the 9.1 percent of the potential American workforce currently idle could not be reached for comment on the matter, as they were in shock at the news that Millen was being considered to replace the recently deceased Al Davis as general manager of the Oakland Raiders and were either talking to or on hold with the nation's remaining suicide counselors.

Use of the chaira departure from Daddy's normal yelling, hitting and kicking routinewas attributed to the existence of all the dishes in the F-word sink, as well as various other complaints. During the incident, Daddy also raised allegations of marital infidelity, which Mommy categorically denied. 
2	65Michael Bontaites, 23, broke into a small apartment building in Queen City. It belonged to a 65-year-old woman, who was armed and ready. The woman shot Michael square in the chest with her pistol. She then retreated and called the police. She looked and observed a white male with a dark hooded sweatshirt quickly approach her, run past her, and immediately block her path, OKeefe stated in a press release. The male then reached out and attempted to grab her. Thats when the apartment owner took action and shot him. We love hearing stories like this. Publicity helps show criminals that they cant get away without getting shot. We dont even want to think of what would have happened if this lady didnt have a concealed carry permit. She could have been badly injured, or even killed. Do you think every home owner should be equipped with a gun? 
3	Big Pharma Meningitis Outbreak Continues, No End in SightLisa Garber Were nowhere near the end of this problem, says Vanderbilt University Medical Center expert Dr. William Schaffner. We will see more patients reporting in ill and well have to treat many more going forward. 14,000 People at Risk Earlier this month, the Food and Drug Administration found fungus in sealed vials of a steroid manufactured by the New England Compounding Center (NECC) based in Massachusetts. The spinal steroids are typically used to relieve back pain, but the fungal contamination has caused non-contagious fungal meningitis. The condition affects the protective membranes around the brain and spinal cord, causing headache, fever, nausea, stiffness of the neck, confusion, dizziness, and aversion to light. Of the 23 states that ordered medications from the compounding facility in question, only 8 have not reported at least one case of fungal meningitis. Authorities say that almost 14,000 people received injections of the steroid and may develop the potentially deadly condition. Other Drugs Possibly Contaminated To make matters worse, the FDA is investigating other drugs that may have been contaminated at the facility. Two patients administered different steroids than the one aforementioned have reported possible fungal meningitis infectionone injected during open heart surgery, and the other injected with triamcinolone, yet another steroid. NECC in Hot Water NECC, like all compounding facilities, produces drugs based on a single patients individual needs as described by a physician. Reuters uncovered evidence, however, that NECC broke state law when they failed to request individual patient prescriptions along with bulk orders from physicians. Massachusetts Democratic congressman Edward Markey referenced this breach when he demanded for a probe of NECC, this time regarding potentially addictive, controlled drugs. This is a matter that I believe requires further investigation by the [Drug Enforcement Agency] to ensure that this facility, already believed to have broken Massachusetts state law, has not also skirted federal law related to controlled substances. If you have received a steroid injection and experience symptoms of fungal meningitis, seek medical help immediately. Dr. Schaffner says the symptoms are rarely mild and patients have a greater chance of survival if treated early. Additional Sources: Explore More:

2	Michelle Obama At It Again, Bans Birthday Cupcakes In Schools For Outrageous Reason There are few things in life more evil than a cupcake. Or at least, thats what Michelle Obama would like you to think. The First Lady continues to wage her war on unhealthy foods given to children while they are at school, and her most recent battle is against cupcakes being handed out on birthdays. The Wellness Committee of Edmonds School District just outside of Seattle has determined that birthdays may only be celebrated with non-food items moving forward. The new rule was a result of the implementation of the Lets Move campaign, and a spokeswoman for the school told reporters, Were not just talking about one cupcake a year, were talking about 25 cupcakes a year. It appears that the new cupcake ban is receiving backlash from both children and parents. Marcus Shelton, a parent in the district claims, its not necessarily the districts job to control that, to take away from everybody, its overreaching. What do you think? Is the new rule justified or just extreme?

Thats why he wasnt fooled when the locker room banter tape that Trumps enemies attempted to take him down with. He knew that it was leaked by the enemies within: the GOP establishment is doing everything in their power to destroy Trump. I think this whole tapevideo tape thing was planned, I think it was timed, I think it might have even been a conspiracy among establishment Republicans who have known about it for weeks and who tried to time it to do the maximum damage to Donald Trump, and I justI just think it just backfired on them, Falwell, Jr. claimed in a recent statement. He then added that this information was significant and came from reliable sources. I think a lot of the establishment Republicans have been conspiring together for the last six weeks or more, and I think this was all a plan, he continued. He also noted that the timing of the leak conveniently gave Paul Ryan a way to disinvite Trump from his rally in Wisconsin. What do you think? Do you agree with Falwell Jr.? 
3	Could ineffectual equipment be part of the False Flag attempt?James Smith, Contributor Part of doing something of this nature, is not to destroy assets and resources. The number one asset and resource that businesses have is its people. And what better way to provide the assets safety than to not harm them in any way. Consider the following: The Department of Homeland Security today posted a request for pepper spray. But of all the line items listed, only one is true pepper spray, the rest are inert. If a team from some alphabet agency plans the attack, goes into the terrorist stronghold and uses the inert gas on the terrorists, then another terror attack has been stopped. All hail the heroes against the evil white, military veteran, terrorists. Here is the request by line item: T-2ACC non-Flammable inert conical mist312EA The bids are due on September 6th, in 18 days, a very quick turnaround time for most bids, and that only strengthens the possibility of a false flag attack either before or after the elections.

2	Muslim Police Chief Refuses To Salute Flag During Pledge Of Allegiance For THIS Disgusting Reason [VIDEO] A recently released video of a Miami police chief refusing to salute the flag during a Pledge of Allegiance ceremony has taken the internet by storm. According to reports, Police President Javier Ortiz was extraordinarily angry when he witnessed assistant chief of police Anita Najiy refusing to place her hand over her heart during the pledge. If youre not pledging allegiance to the United States, my question is what country are you pledging allegiance to? Ortiz asked of the Miami New Times. Anyone who isnt offended by that is not American, because when you become a U.S. citizen, you pledge allegiance to the U.S. Oritz went on to claim that Najiy had also failed to display the proper etiquette that must be exercised when wearing a law enforcement uniform. Some viewers suspect that Najiys refusal likely has to do with the fact that she is Muslim.

Theyve been yelling for a while, and Im pretty sure I heard them say Andrew, said the visibly distraught quarterback, shuddering as the sound of raised voices echoed loudly in the stairwell. Mr. Grigson was shouting that he signed enough talent and coach doesnt know what to do with it. Then coach screamed I cant stand this anymore and I hate you. Why cant they just stop fighting all the time? Luck then reportedly began trembling after hearing a loud crash followed by a disconcerting silence. 
3	US Lectures Cuba on Human Rights Across From Own Torture DungeonBy Tony Cartalucci While many claimed it was a sign of hope for US-Cuban relations, it could equally be equated with similar feigned rapprochements with nations like Syria and Libya, both of which were first offered false peace deals before betrayal and both of which have now been destroyed by years of US-backed proxy war, with Libyas government being overthrown and its leader along with three generations of his family virtually exterminated by US-NATO military operations. And as if to prove President Obamas advocates wrong, the US president used this historic visit to publicly humiliate Cuban President Raul Castro regarding alleged human rights abuses the US claims are regularly carried out against political prisoners. Image: The US lectures Cuban President Raul Castro regarding human rights in Havana, while on the other side of the island nation, the US maintains a torture dungeon where detainees are imprisoned and tortured for years without charges or trials. In reality, the US is referring to US government-funded agitators, traitors, and provocateurs who are attempting to overthrow the Cuban government, as US proxies have attempted to do all over the world including in Syria and Libya. In Politicos article, How Obama set a trap for Raul Castro, it claims: President Barack Obama jokes that he likes news conferences and wants to do more of them, and let them go on longer. That tends to be less the case at the White House than abroad, when Obamas trying to make a point about a repressive regime by turning to the news media. He did it in China in 2013 by giving a New York Times reporter a question to President Xi Jinping right after the government in Beijing had kicked out a reporter from the newspaper. He did it in Ethiopia last year, when he forced the journalist-jailing prime minister to stand next to him for a long news conference during which Obama talked about the countrys record on human rights and held forth on American politics. Monday afternoon here in Havana, he did it to Ral Castro, right in the Revolutionary Palace, letting him be pressed with questions for the first time ever and joining in himself. And not just that: He had to answer for the political prisoners whom the government rounds up almost daily yet denies even exist. Of course, a US president lecturing the president of a nation he is a guest in regarding the arrest of US-backed agitators, while the US maintains a literal torture dungeon just on the other side of the island he is on, couldnt be any more ironic or hypocritical. The US naval base at Guantanamo Bay hosts a detention camp, where prisoners are held, without charge or trial for years, are admittedly tortured through food and sleep deprivation as well as waterboarding the practice of nearly drowning a victim repeatedly to extract information or false confessions. It is indeed for all intents and purposes a modern-day torture dungeon only one of many the US maintains globally. There was also the notorious Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq where US military personnel tortured, raped, and murdered prisoners, as well as the Bagram prison in Afghanistan where detainees were also murdered in custody. There are also many other black sites that have been and may still be in use by the US Central Intelligence Agency around the world where similar activity has been exposed. But the Guantanamo Bay detention camp is by far the most ironic located in a nation the US berates regularly regarding human rights, while Americas only presence on the island is a monument to human cruelty. Cubans, both supporters and opponents of the current government in Havana, should take this unparalleled hypocrisy by the US as a warning of where this rapprochement process appears to be heading a Cuba no one will want to live in with a future no Cuban will benefit from. Whatever problems the people of Cuba have with one another, they should see the US not as a potential friend or advocate, but as a common threat. Tony Cartaluccis articles have appeared on many alternative media websites, including his own at Land Destroyer Report, Alternative Thai News Network and LocalOrg. The author certainly has the truth of the situation down pat. I could never understand the temerity of American leaders to be able to stand at a public lectern and hypocritically preach do as we say, not as we do! It is simply amazing to me. The President unfortunately is a bald faced liar, much like his predecessor but with a more honest seeming demeanour. The US is not the shining beacon on the hill. It is, in fact, brutal, demonic and uncivilized as shown everyday. Just watch the news. If you like spilled blood, the US is the place for you! Yes, Archie, you arent the only one who finds it hypocritical for anyone in the US to be preaching to others about human rights, peace, equal justice and all. I especially never heard of cluster bombs being made in or by Cuba, let alone being used regularly around the globe, in fact I havent heard of Cuba being involved with any of the destruction, maiming and killing of the millions of victims around the world. And what country is way far ahead of ALL other countries when it comes to throwing its citizens into prisons for life or close to it, with many who never even committed a violent act? I wish Raul had thrown caution to the winds and just said that. It would have devastated the machine that Obama represents. The time has come to drop diplomacy for brutal honesty and Obama was SO confident that Raul would be sane that a little insanity would have gone a LONG way. and there is always the shadows of Saudi Arabia, Israel and many other dictatorships which US supports with weapons. Obama is a killer like all US presidents before him, but he smiles. But our torture is GOOD torture and were not talkin 50 Shades of Grey kind of dungeon here Whoever said it was right, Americans dont do irony. look who is calling the kettle black 
3	US Military and Local Police Working Together on American StreetsSusanne Posel, Contributor USNORTHCOM and Leon Panetta, US Secretary of Defense, has readily admitted that US armed forces will collaborate with local law enforcement if called upon. In fact, more than 20,000 troops were brought home and readied for deployment within the US to assist in civil unrest and crowd control. The US military will prop up the US Secret Service for operational security reasons we do not discuss the numbers of military personnel and resources that are involved. Additionally, we do not share our operational plans, said U.S. Navy Lt. Cdr. William G. Lewis. The extent of use of military forces on civilian matters, as reported by mainstream media (MSM) have included the reallocation of hundreds of military police officers being trained to assist local authorities in investigation, crime scene and case building. An estimate 500 military police and dogs will be used as law enforcement battalions. These soldiers, having served on tours in Afghanistan, will now be activated and based out of military bases across America to help local police forces. National Guard has been witnessed in Virginia conducting wellness checksand patrolling residential neighborhoods as well as downtown city areas. In Southern California, the TSA have been caughtpatrolling train stations and bus terminals. The US Congress has given over $25 million in more fundingto support unannounced TSA checkpoints. Military soldiers and TSA checkpoints are not the only tricks up the US governments sleeve. Researchers at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, led by Roland Brockers, have developed micro-aerial vehicles(MAVs) that utilize a camera pointed at the ground to navigate, choose landing destinations and identify people and targets. Operators have only to command the MAVs to a location, beginning with the starting point, and the specialized GPS systemwill guide the micro-drone through mapped out sites, dimensions and landscapes. Other military defense contractors like Lockheed Martin and LaserMotive have combined to preform drone testing with the use of wireless energy technology. While the US government is facilitating the military on American streets and the TSA are beefing up their range with new checkpoints and areas of patrol, the national debate over gun control continues. The National Rifle Association (NRA) are bringing attention to the anti-gun purveyors like New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg who are calling for immediate restriction of gun sales to average Americans. Thomas Menino, Mayor of Boston and member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, commented: The best way to honor the memory of those who senselessly lost their lives in Aurora is to make it harder for this to ever happen again. Our political leaders need to lead and we demand they act now. NRA members are reporting, according to a new survey, that they are not only purchasing more guns because of recent events like the Batman shooting, but recognize that their purchases may put them on a terrorist watch list. John Velleco, director of federal affairs for Gun Owners of America, acknowledges that gun control is a heated topic in the wake of this horrible shooting but that more gun control could actually make situations worse by making it harder for law-abiding folks to own and carry guns, which means for lunatics that there are more unarmed, potential victims. Velleco admits that as of now, legislation is lacking in the gun control debate, however he recognizes that these anti-gun advocates are kind of like vultures to take advantage of a situation to further an agenda that doesnt get traction and that people dont support. The NRA has political pull in swing states, which is being suggested by the MSM as a deterrent from Obama to support stricter gun laws; however Obama and Clinton have both publicly stated their support of the Arms Trade Treaty(ATT) being discussed by the UN in conference in New York until July 27th.

1	Lamenting that there was nothing they could possibly do, tearful anthropologists announced at a press conference Thursday that they had discovered the bodies of 15 deceased human ancestors 100,000 years too late. Not too long ago, these early people were alive and going about their normal daily lives, but sadly, by the time we scaled down the narrow 90-meter chute leading into the cave, theyd already been dead for at least 10,000 decades, said visibly upset University of the Witwatersrand paleoanthropologist Lee R. Berger, bemoaning the fact that they could have saved the group of human predecessors if they had just reached the Rising Star cave system during the Pleistocene epoch. We briefly considered resuscitation when we found their bodies, but after a cursory examination we knew that they were already gone. If we found them a hundred millennia sooner, this tragedy might have been prevented. At press time, Berger reportedly slammed his fist on the lectern and began to sob. 
2	BREAKING: Mexican Cartel Beheads 3 More Victims In Message To America Cartels have started to exhibit bolder actions, after the Obama administration has shown reluctance in securing our borders. Now, the same Mexican cartel that beheaded four women has decided to behead three additional men in the same way. The disturbing video was obtained by The New Observer. As you may remember, the previous video showed four women, bound and kneeling in front of a group of heavily armed captors. They were surrounded by 13 masked men, who asked them about their associations with a rival gang. When one women responded that her brother was a member, she was executed. Following the confession, members of the cartel stepped forward and slit the womens throats. The men responsible for the latest executions also belong to the Los Zetas cartel, a group that dates back to the late nineties. The group broke away from the Gulf Cartel just four years ago, and has started to branch out on its own. It has now become Mexicos largest drug cartel. They are based directly across from Laredo, Texas. Still, our borders remain under protected. Without support from the government, there is virtually nothing standing between the gang and the American people. What do you think? Does Obama need to start defending our borders? 
2	Critic Calls This Photo Disgusting So The Photographer Does Something AMAZING Virginia-based photographer Vanessa Hicks was in for quite a surprise after posting some of her pictures on Facebook on Sunday. She had no idea that she was about to spark a controversial debate that would eventually land her on live television. According to reports, Hicks posted photographs of an 8-year-old baby boy wrapped in the American flag, which she took during an infant photo shoot. The caption claimed the photos were a SNEAK PEEK. I couldnt wait to come home and edit these pictures! the photographer added. Within 24 hours, the photo went viral, and a Facebook page called You Call Yourself A Photographer had virtually ripped the photograph to shreds. The flag is not a prop, the owner of the page wrote. To use the American flag in such a way is disrespectful, rude, tacky, disgusting, and against the U.S. Flag Code. The post went on to claim that the photographer had disgraced the flag. The full statement read: This flag is a symbol of everything my son died for many years ago. It was of the utmost honor to have a flag laid upon your coffin as my son did. That honor is taken away when disrespectful photographers throw our flag code out the window. Although you cant see it anymore, I posted another picture from this same photographer a few minutes ago who had a naked baby on that same flag I laid upon my sons casket. She allowed that baby to pee and poop on that flag that is meant to honor our fallen soldiers. Disgusting. Hicks claims that she was both shocked and saddened to see that her post had caused such controversy, but she wasnt willing to back down without a fight. I almost let these cyber bullies get me yesterday, Hicks, who is a Navy veteran and is married to a sailor, told her Facebook audience. I could have easily deleted the picture off of my business page and ended it with that. I almost did. Then I thought, WHY? In fact, Hicks claims that the photo was meant to honor military families and that she has since received immense support for the photograph, and that she would be donating 15 percent of her profits to the USO. She is now seeing more business than ever. What do you think? Was Hicks wrong to use the flag the way she did or do you support her message? 
1	American sprinter Justin Gatlin recently announced that he can easily surpass his own world record in the 100 meters (9.77 seconds) by nearly 6.5 seconds if the conditions are just right. 'If the winds behind me are similar to that of a Category 4 hurricane without the rain and hail; the course we are running on is a steep, flat drop from the apex of a tall mountain; my shoes are three ounces lighter than usual and sport aerodynamic jet propellers; my mother is in the stands cheering, but not loud enough to the point where it is distracting; the other participants in the race are chasing me with weapons; and I neglect to wear my lucky but weighty gold chain, there is no question that I can run it in 3.2 seconds,' Gatlin said. 'My coach and I have simulated these conditions in practice, and I ran it in 3.7 seconds. With the added adrenaline of a real race, who knows how low I can go.' U.S. racing officials have said that, though they wouldn't mind watching this race, any record-breaking time recorded under these conditions would lack legitimacy.

'I just cost that kid the whole book,' a teary-eyed Joyce said to a group of reporters, adding that up until the end, the writing was going perfectly. 'I was sure I put my finger where the period key was, I swear. But it was the delete key. It was the biggest moment of both of our writing careers, and I blew it.' Though Galarraga forgave Joyce rather quickly, the umpire insisted on crying for a few more hours. 
1	Speaking with reporters, Columbia resident Mike Wegley, 34, expressed astonishment Saturday upon learning that his favorite football team, the Gamecocks, is in fact a group of amateurs representing the University of South Carolina. Huh. Really? Theyre like a college team? said Wegley, who mentioned that he has attended numerous Gamecocks home games over the past several years without once suspecting that the team was affiliated with an academic institution. I guess I always assumed they were a local semi-pro team, or maybe an NFL farm program or something. Honestly, it never crossed my mind that the Gamecocks might be in any way involved with higher learning. Wegley said he was equally surprised to discover the Carolina Panthers are a professional franchise and not, as he had thought, a high schools junior varsity squad. 
1	Hoping that a hands-on demonstration would help students grasp the concept, local teacher Rachel McKenzie reportedly instructed her class of 38 fourth-graders Wednesday to divide into two groups in order to simulate the conditions of an ideal class size. Now, I want everyone whose names begin with A through L to split off into a group that I could teach quite effectively, and everyone else to form a group that I could supervise easily without spending all day dealing with disciplinary issues, said McKenzie, urging the two groups to use their imaginations to pretend they were receiving the proper amount of individual attention.I know this is an unusual idea that may be hard to fully understand, but Id like everyone to try envisioning a class half our current size where Id be able to adequately identify student needs, monitor progress, and cover far more material during the year. At press time, McKenzie sent four children into the hall in order to reach the perfect simulated student-teacher ratio. 
2	Lester Holt Learns His Fate Days After Rigging The Debate Presidential debate moderator Lester Holt came under fire last week after exhibiting extreme bias on Monday night. Throughout the event, it was clear that Holt was in Clintons corner. Holts problems started the very next day, when Fox News reporter James Rosen went after him during the White House press briefing. Rosen asked White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest how he felt about Holts performance. The fact that weve gone through a good 40 minutes or so of the briefing without mentioning Holts name I think is a pretty good endorsement of his performance, Earnest commented. Rosen wasnt willing to accept that answer. He responded with this: So it eluded the presidents attention that Mr. Holt, who enjoys the respect of everyone in this room, this questioner included, nonetheless, last night, pressed Mr. Trump pointedly on just about every perceived area of vulnerability for him, including his early statements about the Iraq War, his refusal to release his tax returns, his role in the birther issue, his endorsement of stop-and-frisk, and his comments about whether or not Mrs. Clinton has a presidential look, but somehow failed to press Mrs. Clinton even a single time on any of her perceived points of vulnerability such as her conduct with her emails, the role of the Clinton Foundation in the Clinton State Department, her refusal to release her Goldman Sachs speeches, her deep trustworthy deficit with the American electorate, her role in the destruction of Libya or the Benghazi attacks. None of those things were pressed by Mr. Holt. Did that elude the presidents attention, that sort of seeming imbalance in the questioning? Earnest quickly tried to retreat from the conversation. I dont think its accurate to say that all of Mr. Trumps vulnerabilities were covered, he concluded. What do you think of Rosens comments? Do you agree? 
1	In a breach of decorum never before seen in the history of the noble art, a ventriloquist's dummy named Chesterfield shocked onlookers this past Friday by referring to his partner, Professor Eugene Krebsen, as 'the real dummy.' Gasps turned to shouts of outrage in the Looking Glass Theater as the wooden doll's words settled across the audience, and what had been a sharp but kindhearted exchange between two seeming friends turned ugly. 'Why, I couldn't believe my ears,' said audience member Henrietta Flemming, sitting beside her husband, Harold Flemming. 'And what's more, he lobbed that terrible insult while poor Professor Krebsen was trying to enjoy a nice glass of water.' Patrons of the Looking Glass have not been this upset since stage magician Palmer the Great had the audacity to set an audience member's wallet on fire. 
1	Mere seconds after a hotly contested rebound during a game between the vice president's biggest on-court rivals, a mishandled basketball rolled across the blacktop of 'the Cage'New York's infamously tough West Fourth Street courtsbefore being brought to a stop by the wing-tipped foot of Dick Cheney. Witnesses at the scene, whose gazes drifted slowly upward from the loose ball to Cheney's determined face, said they observed the vice president set his unblinking eyes on the assembled players, pause in the sudden silence, and utter the challenge, 'Let's do this.' The vice president prepares to bring it. In the heavy stillness brought on by his challenge, Cheney sized up the assembly of players. The collection of local court legends reportedly ranged from hard-grinding seven-footers to tricky, loose-limbed ball handlers, all of whom instantly recognized Cheney from their last meeting: an all-out clash of the titans in late March that ended prematurely when the vice president suffered severe heart palpitations and was shamefully laughed off the court. It is not known whether the vice president, as he stood on the edge of the court, composed an internal, possibly sound-tracked montage of scenes from the endless hours of training that had brought him back to the Cage. Some experts have said that, even months later, it is likely his opponents' taunts of 'How's that pacemaker, old man?' 'Too slow!' and 'No. 2 in the executive branch, No. 2 on the court!' still rang in his ears. As Cheney remained utterly still, apparently evaluating the scene without reaction or emotion, a sudden gleam of sunlight, which some in attendance claimed was accompanied by a keening high note, reflected from the rim of his trademark glasses. [slideshow:84806:left] Eyewitnesses also said Cheney's nostrils may have flared almost imperceptibly at this time. Having thoroughly gauged the skill of his opposition, and displaying no evidence of his opinion thereof, Cheney shifted his eyes to the expectant crowd of roughly 300 people, every one of them also motionless and silent. But the former defense secretary remained impassive, moving neither his head nor his facial muscles and reacting in no way whatsoever to the mounting tension, the gathering electricity in the air, or the general feeling that those assembled were about to witness a watershed, possibly life-affirming display of tenacity and heart. Adding to the tension was the unspoken understanding between the athletes that if Cheney proved triumphant, and managed to somehow outmaneuver his younger, faster rivals, he would win back control of the beloved city landmark he played on as a boy, and could finally have the entire park bulldozed. Although almost no time has passed since Cheney's foot came in contact with the basketball, details of the developing scene continue to pour in: A drop of sweat reportedly formed on the temple of one of the more handsome competitors, tracing a line down through the grit on the side of his face, dripping off his jawbone, and splashing on the blacktop in slow motion; an apprehensive young female spectator took her daughter's hand and protectively drew her closer in anticipation of the epic battle; and a flock of pure white birds suddenly took flight from the roof of a nearby church, their beating wings unusually loud in the moment's eerie calm. No other action or motion was reported, save for the whisper of a hot wind. While it is not known when or if anyone in the tableau will move, analysts predict that the almost timeless moment of buildup will finally end when the most talented of the local hoop stars issues an aggressive yet stoic statement accepting Cheney's challenge, most likely 'Come on if you're comin',' 'Let's see what you got, then,' or even simply 'Yeah.' Aides close to Cheney have confirmed that the vice president will then kick the ball to the top of his foot, bounce it to the inside of his left elbow, pop it to his right hand, dribble through his legs while simultaneously executing an ankle-breaking spin move, take two steps to the foul line, leap to the hoop, and dunk the basketball up to his elbows, sending pieces of the chain-link net scattering into the crowd as Master P's 'Make 'Em Say Ugh' echoes throughout the park.

Just check out what is happeningin Oakland According to Steve Amitay, the executive director of the National Association of Security Companies, this is also happening in other high crime cities such as Atlanta and Detroit. In fact, it is being projected that the private cop business is going to absolutely boom in the years ahead. But not everyone can afford to hire private cops. Those with more limited resources are trying to cope with rising crime any way that they can. In Chicago, firefighters are actually being enlisted to provide security for public school studentswalking to and from school Sadly, this is just the beginning. As the U.S. economy continues to get even worse, so will crime, gang activity and social decay. But that doesnt mean that everyone will be bad. The truth is that there are still some decent people out there. Today, someone sent me a story about human decency that made me smile. In Laguna Niguel, California a man accidentally sold a wooden watch box for $10 that contained his wifes $23,000 wedding ring. When his wife found out about it, she wasabsolutely crushed Fortunately, the box had ended up with a very honest couple So that story had a very happy ending. There are still people out there that are ready and willing to do the right thing. But not everyone is that way. It has been said that desperate people do desperate things, and when the next major wave of the economic collapse strikes there are going to be millions of very desperate people out there on the streets of America. Now is the time to get prepared for that. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

1	Claiming that the haunting din suddenly and without warning filled the air of the 63,000-seat arena, sources confirmed that a bell tolling through the University of Phoenix Stadiums PA system Thursday night portended certain doom for the visiting Minnesota Vikings as they faced third down. The bells ringthat horrible ringis this an omen that our time with the ball is soon to end? uttered fifth-year Vikings right guard Brandon Fusco as the sinister tones reverberated through the stadium speakers, cutting short quarterback Teddy Bridgewaters play call and casting a chilling silence over the offense, the entire huddle reportedly feeling within their bones the shadowy approach of a failed third-down conversion. Vile cacophony! O symphony of ruin! The kiss of death for an ill-fated drive, one forever doomed to perish without the necessary seven-yard gain for a first down. Lo, we must heed this telltale sign before it is too late! At press time, the Vikings had converted the third down. 
2	Obama Just Gave Race Rioters $163 Million For THIS Unthinkable Reason What a surprise, Obama is waisting your hard-earned tax payer dollars on something useless again. He is now using the riots in Baltimore and Ferguson to spread his control across the country even further. Instead of putting the blame on the rioters who actually committing the crimes, Obama blames the police. He went on national television a few weeks ago and slammed cops when he said that they, target poor, African Americans. Now according to Mr. Conservative, Obama has announced that he will basically offer the rioters a reward for all the chaos they have caused. While speaking in Camden, New Jersey, Obama announced that he will be spending a whopping $163 million on hiring people to organize communities and build trust between individuals and police. This is part of his six-part plan to build trust between communities of color and police. He thinks extremely expensive solution will be the answer to all the problems going on in Baltimore. What do you think about his solution? Does it make you angry that he waists your tax dollars on this? 
1	As evidence mounts linking unregulated usage of the prescription medication to a variety of degenerative health issues, sources confirmed Sunday that Puppy Bowl XI is being increasingly overshadowed by the leagues rampant heartworm pill abuse. The debilitating long-term effects of heartworm pills on puppies who abused them in their playing days are unfortunately only beginning to be understood, said Slate editor Anthony Isaacson, adding that the intense buildup for this years Puppy Bowl falls against the backdrop of 14-week-old star labrador Bailey having been recently rushed to an animal hospital after being discovered in his dog bed severely vomiting and suffering convulsions from an apparent overdose of Heartgard Plus. Puppies are often supplied heartworm pills by team veterinarians without any regard to the potential future health hazards down the road when they are 4 or 5 years old. Puppy football may be the countrys most adorable sport, but people must realize that it can be an ugly one as well. Reached for comment, Animal Planet representatives refused to respond to allegations of widespread heartworm pill use, only stating that Puppy Bowl XI is poised to be one of the cutest Puppy Bowls of all time. 
3	Mass Shooting, Mass Hysteria, Mass PropagandaBy Tony Cartalucci In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, a familiar, shameful charade of exploitation unfolded yet again, seeking to reassert the gun control agenda amid both national public opinion and across Americas legislative bodies. Yet the engineered, concerted, deceitful propaganda campaign launched by the corporate media and Americas political circles fails to put into perspective the recent shooting and the greater gun control debate. Instead, a mad rush has ensued to exploit anger, sorrow, and fear to once again attempt to snatch from responsible Americans their right to bear arms based on the criminal actions of a single individual. Drunk Driving Kills 20 Times More Per Year Than Mass Shootings Have in 30 Years The Washington Post, along with other mainstays of Western propaganda, have repeatedly summed up the history of mass shootings and gun violence in articles following in the wake of violent episodes. Usually, these statistics are presented in a vacuum without reference intentionally to deceive the reader. In their most recent article, 11 essential facts about guns and mass shootings in the United States, they claim that in the past 30+ years, 574 people have been killed in mass shootings. While in their article they attempt to make this number sound enormous, to put it into perspective, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) reports that in the year 2013 alone, 10,076 were killed by drunk drivers. That is about 20 times more people killed in a single year due to drunk driving than in the past 30 years due to mass shootings (mass shootings being defined as 3 people or more killed in a single spree). The Post amid its disingenuous spin, claims: In this post, adapted from previous versions* that we released after mass killings in the past, we explore Americas unique role among advanced countries as a place where support for guns is widespread and violence involving firearms is equally widespread. There are some perhaps surprising findings gun ownership in the United States is declining overall, for instance. But despite mass killings which have occurred with increasing frequency in recent years support for gun rights is still resolute in America. Essentially, the Washington Post argues throughout its article that gun ownership is increasingly unpopular, the primary cause of higher levels of violence than other industrialized nations, and that mass shootings are a major problem. Yet clearly when placed alongside other senseless causes of death, mass shootings while clearly better at grabbing headlines, are also clearly not our greatest challenge. Violence in America is Caused by Socioeconomic Factors, Not Guns America has guns. America is a violent country. Guns cause violence. This is perhaps the most elementarily absurd argument imaginable, yet it is in fact the cornerstone of the gun control agenda. Yet when we examine violence and access to legally acquired weaponry, there is little correlation. When comparing two nations, the United Kingdom and Japan, whose populations are for all intents and purposes disarmed, we still find immense, seemingly inexplicable disparity in the number of homicides. Despite both nations being disarmed and having almost no gun-related homicides, according to UN statistics, Japan and the UK still have an astronomical gap in homicide rates. Why? A visit to either country reveals an entirely different culture, education system, infrastructure, and socioeconomic paradigm. This is why despite Japan having a much larger population, even total homicides are lower than the comparatively more violent but less populated United Kingdom with homicide rates in the UK nearly 3 times higher than those in Japan. According to the UNs study, which includes the most recent annual data available, Japan, with a population of roughly 130 million, had a mere 506 homicides over the stretch of a single year. Conversely, the UK, with less than half of Japans population (53 million) had 722 homicides. The rates per 100,000 people for Japan and the UK are 0.4 and 1.2 respectively. The UK, despite being an unarmed population, and having virtually no gun violence, still has 3 times the murder rate than the nation of Japan. Those that are murdered in the UK or Japan, are just as dead as any human being murdered by a gun in the United States. And clearly, this indicates that the presence of guns, or their banning, is not a significant factor driving homicides and violence. The United States suffers from more poverty, more disparity in income, more blight and stagnation across its economy and education system particularly in the inner city and the south than even the UK. This is why the United States is more violent than other industrialized nations, not because of the availability of weapons. And despite the fact that the United States has both more guns and more violence than other industrialized nations, it is still a relatively less violent nation than many others in the developing world, including nations that have far fewer guns per capita. Gun Control is About Dominating Lives, Not Saving Them The inconvenient reality regarding the true nature of violence and its relationship with guns is entirely sidestepped by the gun control agenda, primarily because the gun control agenda is about disarming the American public thus removing an obstacle toward totalitarianism, not to preserve innocent lives. This fact is highlighted best by incessant calls to ban semi-automatic rifles termed assault rifles by the media. Yet despite their vilification, assault rifles account for the least number of deaths per year due to gun violence. In fact, according to the FBIs own statistics, rifles of any kind (including assault rifles) account for fewer deaths per year than murders involving bare hands and feet. Clubs also are used more frequently in homicides in the United States than rifles of any kind, including assault rifles. The obsession with banning the least dangerous of all firearms, but also firearms best suited for defense during civil disorder as well as a check against tyrannical government, exposes the gun control agenda for precisely what it is. Those who take up social crusades by preying on peoples emotions and hovering over tragedy like carrion-eating vultures in an attempt to collectively punish the rest of society for the ill will and deeds of a single individual represent a much greater threat to our way of life than any deranged shooter. This is because such people distract our collective attention away from solving the socioeconomic and cultural factors that will continue to drive violence with or without the presence of firearms in society, depriving us of our rights and liberty, all while inviting future tragedies to unfold. Racists will still devise ways to kill people they deem as undesirable. To defeat racism, we must deal with it directly, not attempt to deprive it of every possible avenue toward violence. At the end of the day, killing another human being with a firearm is already quite illegal. To prevent people intent on doing so regardless of the law, we must target the root cause of their homicidal intent. Those who understand this best also so happen to be those who stand the most from exploiting continued violence and using it as a pretext to further diminish the rights and power of the American people. It is up to gun owners to both act as ambassadors for responsible firearm ownership, as well as serve as the vanguards in their local communities against the root causes of violence used as a pretext to strip Americans of their rights. Tony Cartaluccis articles have appeared on many alternative media websites, including his own at Land Destroyer Report, Alternative Thai News Network and LocalOrg. 
2	Chelsea Clinton Attacks Donald Trump... Immediately Receives Devastating Blow This week, an anti-Trump comment made by Chelsea Clinton quickly backfired when the internet pointed out yet another example of Clinton hypocrisy. When asked about Trumps recent comments that his opponent Hillary Clinton doesnt look presidential, Chelsea came to her defense, criticizing the Republican nominee for his sexist and misogynistic remarks. I would hope that everyone could see that as the sad, misogynistic, sexist rhetoric that Id hoped wed moved beyond in the 21st century, certainly in 2016, she said Wednesday while campaigning for her mother in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. This was Chelseas fist appearance since her child was born in Juneand things didnt go well. When ABC posted a video of Clintons comments, many reminded the former first daughter that she may need to take a good hard look at the actions of her own father. @ABC what about what HER father has done to women? Yall never ask her opinion on that, one Twitter user asks. @ABC what does she call a lifetime of sexual harassment, assault, rape accusations etc against women all around him? Thats your Dad, kid, another user added. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Are you tired of the Clintons and their continuous hypocrisy? ABC News (@ABC) September 8, 2016 
1	Explaining how they would have moved on with their lives a long time ago, a report released Monday by researchers at the University of Texas revealed that more than 90 percent of Americans would have easily gotten over their ex-partner by now. Our evidence suggests that, by this point, the vast majority of individuals would no longer continuously question where their previous relationship went wrong, and would regularly go days, even weeks at a time without giving a single thought to their former partner, said the reports lead author, Irene Landry, adding that less than one in 10 individuals would allow themselves to still incessantly check social media for clues as to what their ex has been up to or agonize over whether or not to text them. Not only would nearly every other American be unbothered after seeing a picture on Facebook of their old partner on vacation with someone new, roughly half would be genuinely happy at the prospect of them being in a new relationship. Furthermore, we found that about 70 percent of people would have already entered into a new happy and fulfilling relationship of their own, never looking back through photos of themselves and their ex together and wondering what could have been. Landry added that 100 percent of people who still sometimes imagine getting back together with their previous partner will never again find anything remotely resembling what they once felt and will die bitter and alone. 
2	Trump Makes Incredible Vow To Christians If He Is Elected President Trump just made a huge promise to Christians. If he is elected president, he wants to reverse the politically correct rampage that has taken America by storm. More specifically, he promises to make the phrase, Merry Christmas, available anywhere. If Im president, youre going to see Merry Christmas in department stores, believe me. In the recent holiday season, many stores have declared that this saying is not politically correct, and cant be used. Even worse, some schools and communities have come to the same conclusion. One specific example that really irritated people was when Starbucks issued their holiday cups without the usually Christmas theme. Some say Trump is playing into the hands of as many people he can in order to win the nomination. However, every candidate does this to some extent if you dont, youre not going to win. Whats important is that Trump has taken our side. Hes our man. Will you vote for Trump in the 2016 election? 
2	Whoopi Goldberg Can Kiss Her Career Goodbye After Pulling This Stunt Ever since he first hit the campaign trail, Whoopi Goldberg has been one of Donald Trumps most obnoxious critics, taking the opportunity to criticize him nearly every day of her show. She crossed a serious line this week when the topic of the 35-page dossier was presented. The dossier was a controversial story published by Buzzfeed, containing ridiculous claims about Trump that were never verified. Still, the media jumped on the opportunity to go after Trump and disrespect him. On an episode of The View, Goldberg even pushed a theory that Trump is a subservient to the Russians as a result of blackmail they have on him. Now we cant get into specifics, but I do have to ask because hes being showered with allegations right now, is this a golden opportunity for Democrats or will he be able to clean up the leaks? Of course, Whoopi was referring to the salacious claims that Trump had paid Russian prostitutes to pee on him. That allegation has no evidence to support it. The saddest thing about all of this is people jumped on what they thought was happening with Hillary Clinton without any factual information [] Theyre giving this a pass, saying its not really real, she continued. Heres the deal, Im taking it like it might be real and I dont want you compromising my country for your gain. Im not happy with that. Of course, Goldberg is already receiving immense backlash for her claims. 
1	Even after 15 years of tireless labor and a score of agonizing near-misses, the staff at America's Funniest Home Videos said Monday that they do not intend to quit until they have found the nation's funniest home video. Bergeron, who is still searching for the ultimate home video. 'It has been a very long search, but our job isn't done,' said Tom Bergeron, the current host of the long-running ABC show. 'If we had set out to collect, catalog, and air some of the funnier home videos in America, the show would be off the air already. But everyone involved agrees that, when we chose the word 'funniest,' we made a promise to our viewers. This show will not stop airing until we've delivered on our promise, and found that video.' Since 1990, America's Funniest Home Videos' producers, technicians, and hosts have spent millions of hours poring over viewer entries, listening to sound-effects compilations, and tirelessly airing the fruits of their collective labor before carefully selected focus groups. Executive producer Vin Di Bona said he never expected the search to go on for so long. 'When we set out on this quest, we assumed it would take two, three years tops,' Di Bona said. 'We thought someone out there in America had the funniest home video at the ready, and we'd just give it a national audience. Fifteen years later... Well, we know the video is out there, but sometimes, late at night, I do worry that it's locked in a trunk somewhere, and we'll never get our hands on it.' Di Bona said that, although the show has aired hundreds of classic momentsdogs talking, elderly men de-pantsed, and comical water-skiing accidentsno video has been 'the one.' 'We've come close,' Di Bona said. 'Parallel-Parking Grandma was almost there. If only she'd knocked over two more lawn ornaments. Or if we'd just nailed the sound effect. We knew the 'boing' wasn't enough, but we felt the 'ker-boinnng, waaaah' was too much.' Di Bona had difficulty pinpointing what his team is looking for. 'When we see it, we'll know it,' Di Bona said. 'It's not as simple as determining whether a cat is funnier than a cockatiel. There are a million X-factors involvedtiming, framing, how onlookers react when the groom falls into the cake.' 'I could throw criteria around all day,' Di Bona added. 'The simple truth is that, if a video doesn't cause an immediate gut reaction, I toss it in the garbage.' 'Table Tennis, Anyone?' is one of many home videos that failed to earn the title of 'funniest.' According to Di Bona, staying focused on the quest for the ultimate funny home video has put a lot of pressure on the show's hosts. '[Original host] Bob Saget was a man obsessed,' Di Bona said. 'After working on Full House, Bob was really excited to do a show with a purpose. But the 80-hour weeks started to wear him down. One late night during season six, Bob flipped. He started cursing, throwing things, and screaming that we were no closer to finding America's funniest home video than we were when we started. In 1997, when he heard the news that Germany had found their nation's funniest video, he quit. He couldn't take the pressure anymore.' Added Di Bona: 'I still have faith that we'll find that perfect clip. And, at that point, we'll go off the airin triumph.' Boston resident Nathan Lister is one of thousands of viewers who contend that Di Bona should end his search. 'I don't see how anyone could see the 1997 clip 'Boy Loses Mug' and argue it's not the one,' said Lister, who founded It's Over, a group that advocates naming the clip America's funniest home video. 'You can watch it without the 'bonk' or the slide whistle or Bob Saget's post-clip commentaryit's still hysterical. It's the scene that every home-video enthusiast dreams of: that perfect combination of youthful innocence and genital pounding.' The 13-second clip features a medium-shot of a 4-year-old boy sitting in a highchair and waving his juice mug while his father prepares him a bowl of cereal. The father struggles with the bag until it rips, sending cereal flying into the air. The surprise causes the boy to jerk his arm, and his cup slips from his hand and flies into his father's genitals. A golden retriever rushes in to eat the spilled cereal, jumps on the prone, agonized father, and the camera swivels back to the confused, worried face of the boy. 'The timing in 'Boy Loses Mug' is absolutely perfect,' said Lister. 'We've petitioned ABC to rerun the clip, but they keep giving us the runaround. We want people to see that the title of America's funniest home video is not up for grabs.' Continued Lister: 'The goal of America's Funniest Home Videos has already been achieved. Why ABC would want to beat a dead horse like this, I have no idea.' 
3	Texas Bill Takes On Policing for Profit Via Asset Forfeiture, Closes Federal LoopholeBy Mike Maharrey Sen. Konni Burton (R-Fort Worth) prefiled Senate Bill 380 (SB380) on Dec. 20. The legislation would reform Texas law by requiring a criminal conviction before prosecutors could proceed with asset forfeiture. Civil forfeiture would only be allowed if the property owner is unavailable or does not claim the property.Under current law, the state can seize assets even if a person is never found guilty of a crime, or even arrested. SB380 would also prohibit state and local law enforcement from receiving proceeds from forfeited property. All funds would go to the county treasurer. Currently, up to 70 percent of asset forfeiture proceeds go directly into law enforcement agency budgets. Ending this practice would significantly curb the policing for profit motive inherent in the current law. SB380 also closes a 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 proposed law would specifically prohibit this practice in most cases. A law enforcement agency or attorney representing the state may not directly or indirectly transfer seized property to any federal law enforcement authority or other federal agency unless: In other words the legislation does not attempt to interfere with federally initiated forfeiture, but bans state and local police from passing off their cases to federal jurisdiction in most situations. 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. For example, California previously had some of the strongest state-level restrictions on civil asset forfeiture in the country, but law enforcement would often bypass the state restrictions by partnering with a federal asset forfeiture program known as equitable sharing. Under these arrangements, state officials would simply hand over forfeiture prosecutions to the federal government and then receive up to 80 percent of the proceedseven when state law banned or limited the practice. According to a report by the Institute for Justice,Policing for Profit, California ranked dead last of all states in the country between 2000 and 2013 as the worst offender. During the 2016 legislative session, the state closed the loophole. As the Tenth Amendment Center previously reported the federal government inserted itself into the asset forfeiture debate in California. 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. SB380 will be assigned to a committee once the regular session begins in January. Michael Maharrey [send him email] is the Communications Director for the Tenth Amendment Center, where this article first appeared. He proudly resides in the original home of the Principles of 98 Kentucky.See his blog archive here and his article archive here.He is the author of the book, Our Last Hope: Rediscovering the Lost Path to Liberty. You can visit his personal website at MichaelMaharrey.com and like him on Facebook HERE Good, and it better pass. But what will the notorious asset forfeiture trap, Tenaha, Texas, do now to pay their cops? What does it say that the State has to come up with specific laws to stop the cops from stealing ? Civil forfeiture laws only go to encourage cops to allow a drug operation to get as big as possible, never mind the damaged lives in the process, so they can then sweep in and make some extra cash. When the selection process only gives you barely-above-average IQ cops what else should you expect ? Such celebration today for something that the Founders would not recognize as being healthy much less synonymous with one of the worlds oldest democracies. Nor would they approve of this practice either, which should have been dispatched from both the law books and in unethical usage by Americas police forces decades ago as well. Better late than never?? Barely Cops steal more than burglars, oh wait, its called equitable sharing. my bad, as you were Why cant you terrorists follow the constitution? How tough can that be? Your freemason cliques only craft deceit. 
3	Blackwater Founder Investigated For Ties to Chinese Intelligence and Money LaunderingBy Andrew Emett According to a recent investigation by The Intercept, more than a half-dozen of Princes associates, including current and former business partners; four former U.S. intelligence officers; and other sources familiar with the Justice Department investigation requested anonymity before discussing the ongoing federal investigation into Princes secret skunkworks program. Although Prince no longer leads the defunct Blackwater, evidence of his mercenary activities continues to surface even after the notorious massacre at Nisour Square. Founded in 1997 by former CEO Erik Prince, Blackwater only brought in roughly $200,000 per year before the events of 9/11. Former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney opened the floodgates awarding private mercenary armies with inflated government contracts and allowing them to operate with impunity. Although Barack Obama vowed on the campaign trail to curb the utilization of private contractors, he broke his word by continuing to provide defense contracts to private mercenary armies. On the evening of December 24, 2006, Blackwater operative Andrew Moonen murdered Raheem Khalif, a security guard to Iraqi Vice President Abil Abd-al-Mahdi. When confronted by the security guard, Moonen pulled out his Glock 9mm pistol and shot him to death. After fleeing the scene, Moonen was fired for possessing a firearm while drunk and secretly flown back to the U.S. before he could be charged with the murder. At approximately noon on September 16, 2007, a Blackwater convoy codenamed Raven 23 disobeyed orders from U.S. Embassy officials to remain in the Green Zone and instead established a blockade at Nisour Square in Baghdad. While driving his mother to an appointment, Ahmed Haithem Ahmed Al Rubiay stopped his white Kia sedan at the checkpoint and waited for the Blackwater mercenaries to let them pass. Hiding inside the convoys command vehicle, Nicholas Slatten aimed his SR-25 sniper rifle through a gun portal and fired a round at Ahmed. As Ahmeds head exploded, his car slipped into neutral and slowly began to approach the Blackwater convoy. While attempting to stop the car, Iraqi police officer Ali Khalaf Salman raised his left arm signaling the shooters to stop firing. Inside the sedan, Ahmeds mother, Mahassin Mohssen Kadhum Al-Khazali, clutched his bleeding head screaming, My son! My son! Help me, help me! A turret gunner, Jeremy Ridgeway, opened fire killing Ahmeds mother. Another Blackwater shooter launched an M-203 grenade that caused the sedan to erupt into flames. Unleashing sniper fire, machine guns, and grenade launchers, the Blackwater convoy murdered over a dozen unarmed civilians, including two boys, ages 9 and 11. At least 18 victims were wounded. The only damage inflicted upon the convoys command vehicle came from shrapnel by an American grenade fired at close range by a Blackwater operative. According to witnesses, Nicholas Slatten, Paul Slough, Evan Liberty, Dustin Heard, Jeremy Ridgeway attempted to kill everyone in Nisour Square. Another turret gunner, Matthew Murphy, waved his arms warning nearby Iraqis to get down. After ignoring repeated orders to cease firing, the massacre finally ended when Blackwater operatives turned their guns on each other. Instead of killing their own teammates, the shooters eventually decided to stop firing. As the convoy exited the square, some of the shooters continued indiscriminately firing their machine guns at civilian vehicles. Two weeks after the Nisour Square massacre, Prince testified before the House Oversight Committee. Under oath, Prince lied to U.S. Representatives when asserting that Blackwater never kills innocent civilians. Video leaked by Blackwater operatives reveals convoys running over pedestrians, shooting civilians, and aggressively sideswiping cars off the road. Prince went on to accuse the U.S. Army of killing the unarmed Iraqi civilians in Nisour Square. One month before the Nisour Square massacre, State Department investigators discovered Blackwater manipulated its personnel records in order to overbill the State Department and falsified data on the government contract. On August 21, 2007, investigators Jean Richter and Donald Thomas met with Blackwaters project manager in Iraq, Daniel Carroll, to discuss the investigation. Carroll told Richter that he could kill me at that very moment and no one could or would do anything about it as we were in Iraq, Mr. Richter wrote in a memo to senior State Department officials in Washington. Although Thomas witnessed the Blackwater manager threatening Richter and corroborated his version of events, embassy officials ordered Richter and Thomas to leave Iraq immediately. In an attempt to rebrand his image, Erik Prince renamed his company Xe Services in February 2009. Six months later, two former employees submitted sworn statements to the federal court in Virginia implicating Prince in the murders of individuals who were cooperating with federal authorities investigating the company. They also accused him of smuggling unlawful weapons, using illegal ammunition designed to explode after penetrating within the human body, committing fraud, money laundering, tax evasion, terminating mental health professionals who were not willing to endorse deployments of unfit men, and destroying incriminating evidence to intentionally deceive the State Department and other federal agencies. With five former top Blackwater executives indicted on federal weapons, conspiracy, and obstruction charges, Erik Prince fled to Abu Dhabi in 2010. Although he had won multiple contracts with the Defense Department, the CIA, and the State Department, Prince abandoned the U.S. when confronted with a series of civil lawsuits, potential criminal charges, and Congressional investigations. After selling his company, Prince became executive director and chairman of Frontier Services Group (FSG), a self-proclaimed private equity firm that focuses on African mining and energy development. Based in Hong Kong and funded by the Chinese government, Princes FSG has been accused of sharing defense intel with the Chinese while attempting to launder money for the Libyan government. Working with a former South African commando, a former Australian air force pilot, and a lawyer with dual citizenship in the U.S. and Israel, Prince reportedly used FSG to secretly rebuild his private CIA and special operations enterprise by setting up foreign shell companies and offering paramilitary services. Documents acquired by The Intercept appear to show Princes mercenary operations illegally planned in at least a half-dozen countries without the knowledge of FSGs board of directors. While exploiting the refugee crisis last year, Prince contacted Libyan and European officials in an attempt to secure a contract to defend Libyas borders against refugees and other kinetic threats. According to a former intelligence official, the Justice Department reopened its investigation into Prince after he allegedly laundered money for Libyan officials using a Chinese bank in order to fund his mercenary operations. It was not a personal account, the former U.S. intelligence official briefed on the investigation told The Intercept. He was doing it for the purpose of what is considered now in the investigation money laundering on behalf of the Libyans. In October 2015, FSGs corporate leadership stripped Prince of most of his responsibilities as chairman due to their concerns over his clandestine activities. FSG also terminated contracts belonging to two of Princes closest associates suspected of participating in illegal activities with their rogue chairman. Unable to answer allegations that Chinese intelligence assisted Prince in setting up a bank account, his lawyer, Victoria Toensing, referred to the money laundering allegations as total bullshit. Toensing also claimed, When he has legitimate business, he does legitimate business. Accused of money laundering, providing defense advice to Chinese intelligence, murder, and leading a psychotic gang of mercenaries, Erik Prince has eluded prosecution due to his work with the CIA and the State Department. Although Prince is under federal investigation, he has repeatedly eluded prosecution despite blatantly providing false testimony before the House Oversight Committee.

The Corporate Intelligence Agency is knee deep in shenanigans all over the world, this is another example of US Imperialism that has gone rogue thanks to the malfeasance of the Republicans. Programs and corporations like Blackwater are like the British Privateers of old giving criminals the green light to operate with the governments blessings and immunity. The mercs are needed to carry out contracts on foreign soil for fascist usa. Exactly. Just as the saying goes where the rubber meets the road, these guys are where the dirt meets DC. All KABUKI theater to give the people the illusion of justice. Just like hillarys indictment. The evil empire is depending on the peoples lack of focus and memory. There is no difference between Republican or Democrat.it is an illusion dearest..2 sides owned by the same group to divide and rule. Prince is not going through this because he killed anything and anyone in his sighthe is going through this because this little sociopath thought he could out smart the deep state sociopath Borg.and the deep state sociopath Borg does not like that. They want the best sociopaths and seek them out..but they only want the ones that will be good little butt monkeys for the Borg..like Obama, Clintons, Bushes, Cheneys. Roves etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. By the way, the Borg, Deep State.is the Rothschild banking cartel..but they do not always carry that last name. In support of my comment reply below, what about the indictment or investigation of one of the rothschilds.(crickets) Does anybody even remember??? Like I said, kabuki theater to give the illusion of justice. Yes Common Sense, I do indeed remember that..and yes there has been nothing since on this in the alt media. And my first instinct on that was, this is B.S. and distraction. Do you also remember even before that how one of them was killed in his plane? If they are not playing by the script they are either killed by suicide, plane crash or heart attacki.e. Scaliawhich probably the hooker/operative injected something or had the hear attack gun thing ( which btw is much much smaller now). Or they are accused of rape or fake poker chips, or misconduct of some sort. I am just saying that Prince thought he could outsmart his handlers..like JFK.only JFK did not recognize he had handlers. That is my gut instinct on this oneand my gut is usually right. So in a round about way, we are in agreement. But I am young and I still want to believe that there are glimmers of hope of an awakening.otherwise i would be in a complete state of hopelessness which will not serve me at this point. And I hope you are not in that frame of mind eitherfor your own sake.:) I think the most promising glimmer that is happening now is people are not so afraid of saying bad things the Tribe and how they intend to rule us. I agree.the man, so to speak, behind the curtain. Awareness of something is the first step towards solutionsand I do believe in the 100th Monkey Syndrome since we are all one. I peeked at you John..artist an inventor..I always love talking to people like that whenever I get lucky enough to sit next to them on a plane, or standing in line somewhere. Some people like new ideas most say they do, but hardly anyone really does, they are too uncomfortable. I hadnt thought about that profile for years Ive edited it now, changed endlessly frustrated to saddened which is the truth now. Does not look failed.it is beautiful:) Its got all those bubble but I liked the contrast of that roughness with the cant think of the word, maybe idealism? of the head But when I took that pic it was all about the sunshine, the head was just a handy fragment. Heres a (bad) pic of the whole of Waiting: This is just down right BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! Innocent and etheric are the words that come to me. Well Thank You Marie P,S, I think some of my inventions are way more beautiful I only dabbled in sculpture for about a year You should totally create a blogand let people see! You must be a mind reader thats just what Ive been thinking. Of course you are not! mmlb99ataoldotcom. We all need to help each other and stick together through what is a challenging time. They wont let me post anything. Who cares if theyre being investigated we have more than enough Glad you brought that up!!! During the 2nd World War there were few if any private military contractors (PMCs), during the Iraq war it got up to 50%. Blackwater is part of the privatization of the military. More and more the military is becoming private and thus unaccountable to the public, exactly as planned. We still pay for it, of course. The goal is to have a PRIVATE world army to serve a private global corporate government. Why do you think Blackwater and similar organizations are protected at every turn? American elite selling out to China. Americans still paying taxes to their government but complaining about China at the same time. LOL. Borrowing Chinese money to engage illegal war against Iraqis to get rid of terrorists. China having the last laugh selling us the junk. What else is new? 
3	Investment-fund web: CIA, Cheney, Whole Foods, everybodyJon Rappoport If you put your money in a huge investment fund, youre in that web, too. For example, take the Vanguard Group. Its the worlds largest mutual fund company. Corporations, smaller funds, and individuals place their money into the pot, and Vanguard takes it wherever it wants to go. With 14,000 employees in offices in the US, Europe, and Asia, Vanguard manages $2 trillion in assets. At the moment, its the biggest shareholder in Monsanto, the biggest in Halliburton, the second biggest in Facebook, the third biggest in Whole Foods, the second biggest in Hain Celestial Foods, and the biggest shareholder in the largest defense corporation in America, Lockheed Martin. Ready for a little head-spinning whiplash? To get a more personal glimpse of the inter-connected spider web of investment funding, here are a few Dick Cheney connections that Maggie Burns, writing in The Progressive Populist (2003), pointed out. Then Ill add my own. Dick Cheney headed up Halliburton from 1995 to 2000. As US Vice President, he had to divest himself of his stake in the company. The exact figure is hard to pin down, but he put somewhere between 18 and 87 million dollars in the Vanguard Fund. Well, it just so happened that Vanguard, in that general time period (2003), was the 10th largest mutual-fund investor in Halliburton. So Cheney, indirectly, still had a stake in in his former company. In 2003, the 8th largest shareholder in Halliburton was Deutsche Bank. Who had worked in a prominent position at Deutsche a few years earlier? Alvin Buzzy Krongard, who would become the number three man at the CIA under Bush. There is much to say about Krongard (search articles re insider trading just before 9/11). Here I would point out he was a moving force, along with CIA Director George Tenet and Norm Augustine (Lockheed Martin), in creating In-Q-Tel, a CIA front company designed to fund new technologies in the private sector. In-Q-Tel bankrolls the development of these technologies so the US intelligence community can turn around and utilize them. How did a little start-up called Facebook get its bankroll? Jim Breyer, head of Accel, attached a $13 million rocket to it, and nothing has ever been the same. Earlier that same year (2004), a man named Gilman Louie joined the board of the National Venture Capital Association of America (NVCA). The chairman of NVCA? Jim Breyer. Gilman Louie happened to be the first CEO of In-Q-Tel. Thats not the only connection between Jim Breyer and the CIAs man, Gilman Louie. In 2004, Louie went to work for BBN Technologies, headed up by Breyer. Dr. Anita Jones also joined BBN at that time. Jones had worked for In-Q-Tel and was an adviser to DARPA, the Pentagons technology department that helped develop the Internet. Just to add another thread to the spider web, who is the 4th largest shareholder in Deutsche Bank today? The Vanguard Group. I could go on, but you get the idea. This is what theyre well-connected means. In the world of investment funding and shareholding, its about connections.

1	Noting that it had yet to experience any sort of oneness with the 22-year-old, the universe confirmed Friday that it felt absolutely zero connection to a local man currently tripping on hallucinogenic mushrooms. As far as I can tell, all the boundaries between myself and this guy remain completely intact, so I certainly wouldnt say that he and I have become one with each other at all, said the collection of all space and matter, which added that, if anything, it was feeling further removed from the man after he ate two grams of psilocybin mushrooms and spent the ensuing three hours just sitting on his basement couch, during which time he effectively did nothing to interact with the world or universe more broadly. Frankly, I feel like he and I are as separate and unconnected as weve always been. Sure, he seems like a decent person, but have we at some level blended together into a single cosmic entity, flowing through each other and commingling our energies? Definitely not. At press time, the guys mind also confirmed that it was in no way expanding whatsoever. 
2	Obama Shocks America When He Does This... Is He A Muslim? For almost eight years now, President Barack Obama has been battling rumors that he is a Muslim. Though he has always claimed to be a Christian, he has failed to provide any documentation on his background, and his actions always seem to suggest he is a follower of Islam. Recent reports indicate that Obama recently dropped everything to issue a statement in observance of Eid-al-Adha, a Muslim day of sacrifice. Muslims worldwide celebrated the holiday with the ritual sacrifice of animals. Obama called this a celebration of the ways faith can transcend any differences or boundaries and unite us under the banners of fellowship and love. We are reminded of the millions of refugees around the globe who are spending this sacred holiday separated from their families, unsure of their future, but still hoping for a brighter tomorrow, Obama said. As a nation, we remain committed to welcoming the stranger with empathy and an open heart from the refugee who flees war-torn lands to the immigrant who leaves home in search of a better life. This statement just comes just one month after Obama reached his goal of accepting 10,000 refugees into the country from Syria. In fact, he surpassed this goal, bringing in 11,491, 98.33 percent of which are Sunni Muslims. We continue to be flabbergasted by what Obama considers a priority. What do you think? 
3	The Evolution of Humanoid Robot Companions In Our HomesBy Nicholas West One thing is undeniable: the fundamentals of nature are being transformed by technology, which should be at least giving us pause to reflect on what type of relationship we really want to have with our technology. As the article below from Adeline Chanseau, a PhD Researcher in Human Robot Interaction at the University of Hertfordshire, notes correctly, we have always sought more efficient ways of managing our lives nearly all people would agree, for example, that a vacuum cleaner has been a wonderful addition to our home. A few less people might find value in having a smartphone, or any of the other smart devices which have arguably led to less efficiency by presenting completely new distractions. However, we are now embarking upon a new type of social interaction with robots that at least is beginning to mimic human-to-human interactions. This is especially true when it comes to robot teachers in classrooms, robotic caregivers, and other functions where traditionally we have relied on singular human traits such as sympathy and empathy to guide others in a manner in which we ourselves would wish to be treated through such moments. While we might learn not to think of our smartphone as a robotic companion, its not so easy to dismiss a tutor, butler, nurse, or co-worker as anything but something synthetic within our natural world. Researchers are looking more closely at exactly how human these robot helpers should become. Some studies of shown that there is a creepy factor with ultra-humanoid robots that actually might hinder ones willingness to engage with a robotic companion. Other studies clearly show in the area of, say, the bedroom, an increasing number of people are looking for something quite a bit more realistic. All of these studies are predicated upon the belief that robots are here to stay and that it is basically a foregone conclusion that we all will have some type of robot in our homes of the future. If we are willing to accept that inevitability, then the discussion needs to turn to the rules within a robot/human society. How much of our decision-making are we willing to outsource? How likely is it that most people are going to become emotionally connected to more sophisticated humanoid robots which could theoretically take on a life of their own? If a robot gains a certain level of intelligence, then should it be granted rights? And for how much longer will most people be content to sit back and just see what happens? By Adeline Chanseau, University of Hertfordshire What would your ideal robot be like? One that can change nappies and tell bedtime stories to your child? Perhaps youd prefer a butler that can polish silver and mix the perfect cocktail? Or maybe youd prefer a companion that just happened to be a robot? Certainly, some see robots as a hypothetical future replacement for human carers. But a question roboticists are asking is: how human should these future robot companions be? A companion robot is one that is capable of providing useful assistance in a socially acceptable manner. This means that a robot companions first goal is to assist humans. Robot companions are mainly developed to help people with special needs such as older people, autistic children or the disabled. They usually aim to help in a specific environment: a house, a care home or a hospital. At the beginning of the 20th century, one of the first pieces of technology designed to help in a household environment was the vacuum cleaner. Since then, technology has transformed the home. Nowadays, we even have a robot that can cook. The chef robot was developed by Moley Robotics, a start-up company that won the 2015 Asia Consumer Electronics Show. The robot is said to be able to cook 2,000 different meals. Pepper, the latest robot from Aldebaran Robotics, is a good example of a humanoid robot companion. It can provide assistance in making choices, detect human facial expressions and communicate with people. Pepper can adapt its behaviour depending on its perception of a persons mood, and in this sense we can say that Pepper cares for people. At the moment, only research institutes and Japanese residents can acquire a Pepper robot. The robot costs around 8,710 for a Japanese customer. Companion robots can take the form of pets, too. Paro is a robotic seal developed to provide comfort to old people. And rather than taking care of you, this robot has to be taken care of. It is how Paro provides emotional support. Sometimes people get attached to robots that are not actually made for companionship. Take Roomba, for example, the intelligent vacuum cleaner. In their studies, Ja-Young Sung and colleagues from the Georgia Institute of Technology found that people wanted to become tidier in order to allow the vacuum cleaner to run smoothly. Although many of these robots show some form of initiative and encourage people to interact with them, many are responsive rather than active in other words, the robot waits for a human request before acting. Thanks to progress in Artificial Intelligence and technology, we can now develop more intelligent systems that are capable of acting very much like a human. Last year, a few of them were presented to the public, such as Nadine, the robot receptionist, Yangyang, the singer robot, and Aiko Chihira, the robot that can communicate in sign language. Although the popular and controversial Turing test is used in AI to measure whether a machine is as intelligent as a human, it is a very different thing when it comes to robots, since robots are also expected to act intelligently. There is not yet a standardised test to determinate how human a robot is. It may come in the near future. However, all robotic researchers seem to agree that the robot would have to be able to show some social awareness and personality, and be capable of understanding and recognising peoples speech and expressions. But do we want robots to have more personality and to be able to take more initiative? Ultimately, to act more like us? Some may argue, yes. If intelligent vacuum cleaners were able to differentiate a sleeping human from objects, for example, at least one unfortunate lady in South Korea wouldnt have had her hair eaten by her new domestic appliance. But others argue that it is dangerous to give robots too much intelligence. And would it allow them to answer back? We are still at the beginning of research regarding the potential consequences this might have. Indeed, the scientific community is still debating whether a robot can ever have feelings or be self-conscious. Although AI has been able to perform certain tasks extremely skillfully, for example Alpha Go, the community is still a long way from developing an AI which closely resembles the human mind. At present, robot companions are either focused on companionship or on task-execution. Jibo, for example, is a social robot that can talk, order food, remind you of things, or take pictures, while Roomba is an intelligent, but ultimately functional, vacuum cleaner. But its about striking the right balance, depending on the job at hand and the person it is working for. Our most recent study, Who is in charge? Sense of control and Robot anxiety in Human Robot Interaction, showed that the more controlling and anxious about robots a person is, the more initiative they expect the robot to show and the more willing they are to delegate tasks to it. The research focused specifically on what level of initiative people preferred their robot companion to have when executing a cleaning task. Participants could choose between manually turning on the cleaning robot themselves, having their robot companion turn on the cleaning robot remotely when instructed, or having the robot companion turn on the cleaning robot when it noticed that cleaning needed to be done. It was found that most people wanted their robot companion to execute the task without being asked. This paradoxical result may be explained by the fact that people are now more used to technology from computers and smartphones to smartwatches and intelligent home appliances acting semi-autonomously. Smart companion robots are just the next step in the long evolution of our relationship with technology. In the future, it is likely that we will see more domestic robot companions that can be customised to peoples individual preferences. And we will be able to shop for them as we now shop for vacuum cleaners and phones. Ultimately, it seems, there will be a robot for everyone.

3	Eric Holder: info leaked about NSA surveillance program is extremely damaging to national securityMadison Ruppert Holder also vowed to hold the individual who leaked the information about the NSA program accountable, though he did not identify admitted NSA leaker Edward Snowden by name. The national security of the United States has been damaged as a result of those leaks, Holder claimed at a United States-European Union ministerial meeting in Dublin on Friday. The safety of the American people and the safety of people who reside in allied nations have been put at risk as a result of these leaks, Holder said, according to CNN. The leak investigation is still underway, according to Holder, which is why no calls for arrest have been made as of yet. During his remarks, Holder once again reiterated the governments claim that information acquired through the NSAs harvesting of every single phone record belonging to Americans from Verizon did not include the content of conversations or the identity of the callers. The government is prohibited from indiscriminately sifting through telephony metadata that is acquired under the program, Holder claimed. However, the oversight of the program is all but completely non-existent and the governments actual interpretations of the laws at issue are secret. We are simply told to believe their claims are accurate. Holder said that PRISM was aimed only at facilitating the acquisition of foreign intelligence information on targets outside the U.S., according to the Guardian. The program is only used if it is reasonably believed that the foreign target of the surveillance is outside of the U.S. and suspected of being somehow involved in terrorism, cybercrime or nuclear proliferation, according to Holder. Holder claimed that the use of the program was subject to extensive oversight and that everything is done consistent with the law. The claims of extensive oversight have been questioned by individuals in the government. These statements from Holder came after major officials in the European Union voiced concerns about the NSA program, particularly the recently uncovered and quite massive PRISM surveillance program. European Commission Vice President Viviane Reding stated that the European Union has serious concerns about the NSA surveillance, especially the PRISM program, according to Politico. German Chancellor Angela Merkel also seemed concerned, stressing the importance of transparency something which the U.S. lacks completely, especially when it comes to this surveillance program adding that she plans to discuss the PRISM program with Obama himself. Interestingly, Redings spokeswoman said on Thursday that when drafting the EU data protection rules the European commission was faced with intense U.S. lobbying, according to the Guardian. One part of the original draft of the rules setting strict conditions for the transfer of data to third countries was reportedly dropped after the U.S. lobbying effort. Reding emphasized that although national security considerations were vital, the rights of citizens were non-negotiable and also dwelt on the point of the availability of legal redress, according to the Guardian.

2	Watch Donald Trump Call Hillary Clinton A Murderer On Live TV Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have been known to battle it out now and then, but what Trump just said escalates the confrontation between the two. In a recent interview with Fox News, Trump went after Hillary Clinton, claiming that she was responsible for the deaths of thousands during her time as Secretary of States. Trumps appearance was in response to Clintons claims regarding Trumps proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States. She is the one that cause all this with her stupid policies, Trump commented. You look at what she did with Libya, what she did with Syria. Look at Egypt, what happened with Egypt, a total mess. She was trulyif not theone of the worst secretaries of state in the history of the country, he concluded. She talks about me being dangerous. Shes killed hundreds of thousands of people with her stupidity. Watch the interview below and tell us what you think of Trumps comments! 
3	Were Active Shooter Drills Taking Place In Charleston During Church Shooting?By Brandon Turbeville After, the Charleston shooting, there have been numerous questionable aspects of the tragic murder of nine people in the Charleston AME church that many researches have pointed out in articles, videos, and radio shows. For instance, the question over whether or not photos of Dylann Roof had been altered, the amazing ability of the Southern Poverty Law Center to have been one of the first organizations to release photos of Roof as well as troves of intel before any other media outlet, the psychological state of Roof after the rampage, the timing of the event, the subsequent agenda that was rolled out all stand as evidence that the event may have been a staged provocation and that Roof may himself be yet another mentally damaged patsy. While it is difficult to determine the true nature of the event, evidence is continuing to emerge that may help in that determination. If Andrew Pontbriands recent article is accurate, there may indeed be much greater reason to question the official story of the event i.e. that Dylann Roof was a drug addicted white supremacist who decided to go berserk in Charleston. This is because Pontbriand has reported the presence of Active Shooter drills ongoing from a few days before the shooting and concluding after the murders had taken place. In his article, SMOKING GUN: Active Shooter Drills Charleston SC Day Of Shooting, Pontrbriand indeed claims that he has found a smoking gun demonstrating that the shooting was a false flag event. According to Pontbriand, who provides screenshots of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers website and schedule, an Active Shooter Threat Instructor Training Program exercise was scheduled from 6/15/2015 6/19/2015 in Charleston, South Carolina. designed to provide a field training agent or officer with high quality training and instill the analytical knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for the highest proficiency in this specialized field. The course takes Active Shooter Threat Tactics Training to the next level by emphasizing leadership, teach backs, and adult learning as well as the traditional technical skills needed by field training officers and special agents. This course is an intensive training program that covers a variety of tactical subject matters to include: individual and team movement and operational formation. In addition, this program focuses on the role of the field trainer and emphasizes evaluation skills and documentation requirements. The training is more than just classroom work as is evidenced by the fact that participants are required to bring: If Pontbriands information is accurate, the revelation that drills were ongoing amid the days before, during, and after the shootings is concerning to say the least and may point to another Sandy Hook style staged provocation. Recently from Brandon Turbeville: Any real background checks on this dixie flag waving evil doer. I mean a real check as in is he a real person born in the US. and attended schools. I could not find much on Adam Lanza so I am assuming this is the same setup. 9? What a coincidence. 
2	Donald Shares Devastating News About His Son Eric... Please Send Your Prayers On Friday, President-elect Donald Trump announced some very sad news about his son, Eric. My wonderful son, Eric, will no longer be allowed to raise money for children with cancer because of a possible conflict of interest with my presidency, Trump wrote on Twitter. Isnt this a ridiculous shame? He loves these kids, has raise millions of dollars for them, and now must stop. Wrong answer! Eric Trumps charitable foundation will be forced to stop directly soliciting contributors, following public criticism of an online auction that the Eric Trump Foundation had sponsored offering a chance to have coffee with his sister Ivanka. Eric has been raising money for St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital in Tennessee since he was only 21, helping raise more than $15 million for the institution, which offers free care to children in need. His associates say he feels deep regret over not being able to continue his efforts. Naturally, experts have begun comparing Erics charitable campaigns to those of the Clinton Foundationsadly, the only people who will suffer from this is sick children. These two organizations could not be more different. Eric is a successful businessman who doesnt need to funnel money to use in his personal life through the guise of a foundation. What do you think? Is this unnecessarily punitive? 
2	Black Kids Attack White Student For Bringing Confederate Flag To School [VIDEO] According to recent reports, three high school students in Georgia were just suspended because one of them brought a Confederate flag into class. Now, the school is insisting that the incident had nothing to do with Freedom of Speech. Principal Cupp says that the sophomore sporting the flag was confronted by two fellow African-American students. All three were ultimately suspending. They wanted to confront him about what he had on his back pack. What did they say? Hey man why you doing that, Cupp told reporters. We just did that as a precautionary situation to help maintain and control what could have been a bad situation. 
2	Trump Uncovers Evidence To Take Down Cruz For Voter Fraud In Iowa Caucus Donald Trump has declared all out war on Ted Cruz. This time, many are saying he took things too far. Yesterday, Trump announced on Twitter that Cruz cheated in the Iowa Caucus, and that he plans on suing him over it. Cruz responded by telling Trump he was having another Trumpertantrum. In an interview with Boston Herald Radio, Trump elaborated on his accusation. One of the most disgusting things Ive ever seen. They said he was quitting the race and to vote for him, Trump said. Its a total voter fraud when you think of it and he picked up a lot of those votes and thats why the polls were so wrong, because of that. I couldnt understand why the polls were wrong. I probably will [sue]; what he did is unthinkable. He said the man has left the race and he said it during the caucus, he said. And then when the clarification was put out by Ben Carson saying its untrue, they got the statement and they didnt put it out. Do you think Cruz is guilty of voter fraud? 
3	US Election Shocker: Is This How The Vote Will Be Rigged?By Jon Rappoport As we know, there are a number of ways to rig an election. Bev Harris, at blackboxvoting.org, is exploring a specific cheat sheet that has vast implications for the Trump vs. Hillary contest. Its a vote-counting system called GEMS. I urge you to dive into her multi-part series, Fraction Magic (Part-1 here). Here are key Harris quotes. Theyre all shockers: Our testing [of GEMS] shows that one vote can be counted 25 times, another only one one-thousandth of a time, effectively converting some votes to zero. This report summarizes the results of our review of the GEMS election management system, which counts approximately 25 percent of all votes in the United States. The results of this study demonstrate that a fractional vote feature is embedded in each GEMS application which can be used to invisibly, yet radically, alter election outcomes by pre-setting desired vote percentages to redistribute votes. This tampering is not visible to election observers, even if they are standing in the room and watching the computer. Use of the decimalized vote feature is unlikely to be detected by auditing or canvass procedures, and can be applied across large jurisdictions in less than 60 seconds. GEMS vote-counting systems are and have been operated under five trade names: Global Election Systems, Diebold Election Systems, Premier Election Systems, Dominion Voting Systems, and Election Systems Software, in addition to a number of private regional subcontractors. At the time of this writing, this system is used statewide in Alaska, Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Utah and Vermont, and for counties in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. It is also used in Canada. Instead of 1 the vote is allowed to be 1/2, or 1+7/8, or any other value that is not a whole number. Weighting a race [through the use of GEMS] removes the principle of one person-one vote to allow some votes to be counted as less than one or more than one. Regardless of what the real votes are, candidates can receive a set percentage of votes. Results can be controlled. For example, Candidate A can be assigned 44% of the votes, Candidate B 51%, and Candidate C the rest. All evidence that [rigged] fractional values ever existed [in the GEMS system] can be removed instantly even from the underlying database using a setting in the GEMS data tables, in which case even instructing GEMS to show the [rigged] decimals will fail to reveal they were used. Source code: Instructions to treat votes as decimal values instead of whole numbers [i.e., rigging] are inserted multiple times in the GEMS source code itself; thus, this feature cannot have been created by accident. A contact who, so far, apparently wishes to remain anonymous states the following about the history of the GEMS system: The Fractional vote [rigging] portion traces directly to Jeffrey W. Dean, whose wife was primary stockholder of the company that developed GEMS. He ran the company but was prohibited from handling money or checks due to a criminal conviction for computer fraud, for which he spent 4 years in prison. Almost immediately after being released from prison he was granted intimate access to elections data and large government contracts for ballot printing and ballot processing. I see no effort on the part of the federal government, state governments, or the mainstream press to investigate the GEMS system or respond to Bev Harris extensive analysis. Its not as if media outlets are unaware of her. From shesource.org, here is an excerpt from her bio: Harris has been referred to as the godmother of the election reform movement. (Boston Globe). Vanity Fair magazine credits her with founding the movement to reform electronic voting. Time Magazine calls her book, Black Box Voting, the bible of electronic voting Harriss investigations have led some to call her the Erin Brockovich of elections. (Salon.com) Harris has supervised five hack demonstrations in the field, using real voting machines. These have been covered by the Associated Press, the Washington Post, and in formal reports by the United States General Accounting Office So far, her analysis of GEMS seems to be labeled too hot to handle. Press outlets prefer to report the slinging of mud from both Presidential candidates camps. Meanwhile, the actual results of the coming electionsincluding Congressional racesappear to be up for grabs, depending on who controls GEMS.

Good work Jon, but I knew as s soon as the repugs laid off Trump as being their leader that they, the Republican Establishment, had decided then and there to undermine Trump in order that Hillary Clinton becomes the next President. Obviously, Paul Ryan, John McCain, and gosh who only knows who else in the background are working to elect Hillary Clinton. The gist of all this skullduggery whether it be counting votes or the Republicans undermining Trump so that Hilary gets elected is that the Globalist Elites get their way at any cost. Globalism is Cancer. It is the main purveyor of the intentional destruction of the west and western civilization. Just want to say that this was my hunch, just a feeling. Is there evidence? I dont know? Its just a feeling that this is how its going down. I could of course be wrong. Phyllis Schlafly seems to have an issue with Paul Ryan and his Globalist polices. Globalism is destroying the west, thats obvious. Trump is hated by the globalist elites and Zionists who run the money system. Reuters which owns AP, both of which feed into almost all major news outlets, regularly rigs polls to give Hillary a lead. How they do it is simple: over sample Dem voters. This is not rocket science. Trump will have to win by 15 or 20 percent not to have the election stolen from him, meaning, from his supporters who embrace his powerful message of contained borders, a nationalist policy agenda etc. This method is just baffling-wif-B.S. Who in their right mind would consider ONE VOTE cast by ONE PERSON would be anything other than ONE. Not 0.001, or 1.023 or any other clear and in-your-face blatant cheating. This GEMS voting system would never be allowed in a state lottery, why is it allowed in elections? Imagine buying a lotto ticket and that one ticket is actually 0.000000000000001834 of a lotto ticket. Who would play? None. So why do we continue to play that our votes matter in a system that is 100% corrupt? Voting is nothing but your consent to be ruled. You will be given the choice to be ruled by a murdering, lying, power-mad millionaire or an ranting, egotistical billionaire. Its not an accident these are your choices, its an intended slap in your face, a planned humiliation to the entire country. And they laugh like hyenas because you believe to your core its your duty to pick one of them. How much longer can a nation exist when at its very core its one giant festering delusion? Yes, we lost the right to choose our representatives long before electronic voting machines were ever dreamt of. Its all an illusion and a delusion. Were the puppets, not the puppet masters and most are happy with this arrangement as long as the sports, entertainment and cheap beer keep flowing. Yes, Ive noted that. Dont bore me with your conspiracy theories, but were supposed to be fascinated by quarterback fumbles. I wonder how people will feel when a robot takes their job and the quarterbacks are all robots too. Youve got in one my dear. Well, CS, I think its like this. the zombies will all go down on the USS Titanic. But there are enough awakened people to create something better out of the ruins using the now classic Obama/Emmanuel mantra- never let a crisis go to waste. The government is in a crisis. It will all fall down, we all know it. What happens after that is up to us. well said You sound like an anarchist. No, youre wrong. An anarchist works to bring down authority. I dont have do a thing because this particular authority is so corrupt, it will fall down all by itself. I intend to stay way clear, observing it all. The real anarchist resides in the White House. Most anarchists dont necessarily work to bring down governments but do what they can to not enable government control over people, especially unlawful control. The criminals in dc are no anarchists but more like organized crime posing as government. Anarchy isnt synonymous with chaos as most governments and those posing as government want people to believe. More of a minarchist myself but anarchy would be better in the us than letting the criminals controling the us continue. At this point the us has no legitimate or lawful central government and few legitimate if any state governments. Helping to support or enable them is technically even against their own federal laws as it is providing material support to terrorists. Hahaha that was GREAT! I totally resonate to that. What is a minarchist? Because I might want to be one. Truly, I do not consent is a pivotal personal statement that resounds on the etheric plane in a big way. People dont realize how powerful the word No really is. A minarchist to my understanding is someone who accepts the need for some minimal government organization but only one that is closely observed, limited in power, and truly serves those they claim to represent. I had never heard the term until being labeled one by some people I was discussing political philosophy with so not sure how old it is. The best example of a minarchy I know of was what the us federal government was supposed to be in the beginning to the states. The constitution didnt go far enough in restricting federal power though which Patrick Henry pointed out in the antifederalist papers. Most state constitutions Ive seen share some of the same problems in that they dont lay out what the state can and cant lawfully claim power over so they end up claiming power over anything that isnt specifically prohibited and some things that are because there is no sufficient system in place for the people they claim to represent to stop them from doing so. Okay, there is a lot of validity in that. Certainly law as we know it can only be completely understood by what it does not contain. Lawyers know this, which is why bills like Obamacare and the US tax code are unintelligible morasses of confusion that become illegitimate by default. But by your definition I am not a minarchist, although I do very much appreciate the idea. I am more of a sovereign, cosmic being, obeying only universal laws and exercising rights I was born with that cannot be taken, invalidated or ruled out of existence. This is a form of etheric consent. In such a stance, there is no authority other than your own and you have no authority over anyone else. Anyone who wants to play in the matrix of control authority, that is their choice, but its quite possible to rise above all that on an etheric basis. Government, therefore, cannot really ever be valid in any form. Anarchists wish to defeat and rebuild, thus creating an endless cycle of control. Once liberated by choice from the control matrix, you cannot be controlled. All this is effectuated on an etheric level and in order to understand what Im saying you have to understand that concept first. I have posted a petition at the WH dot gov petition website to eliminate the electronic voting machines nationwide to be addressed by Congress if we get the required 100,000 signatures but in a weeks time we have gotten only 187 people in the entire country that want to get rid of these hackable voting machines. What have we become in our country when places like faceplant and tweeker are more important to the people than ridding our country of one of the most egregious slaps in the face than our ability to vote HONESTLY. Electronic voting needs to be abolished. Paper ballots can be fiddled with too, but I would imagine it lowers the possibility greatly, no? I found a wanted law to be written Any government official found corrupted would be arrested imprisoned of 20 yrs of prison. Would that change anything ?? Absolutely and your efforts are admirable. GEMS IS the reason we need paper ballots, now more than ever. Make that 188 im going straight over to the WH dot gov to sign your petition and forward it to everyone I know. Nay illegitimay carborundum! Im just curious how you can believe that a petition to a completely corrupt government is going to somehow force them to fix the very thing that permits their corruption. Do you know what the word petition means? From a thesaurus: appeal to, request, ask, call on, entreat, beg, implore, plead with, apply to, press, urge, beseech. People arent signing petitions because they are waking up, getting off their knees, and learning how to rule themselves. Finally. Its like beating a dead horse. Too much corruption, period. You are absolutely correct. You and Olde Soul make excellent points. Although, there are many ways to spur the consciousness shift and perhaps this could be one and, truly, at this point, only as a way to take back our states and counties. The national political stage is pure poison. You need to understand that Rothschilds private banking cartel OWNS ALL the USA banks. I believe that 95%+ Do NOT Understand the way the Federal Reserve works. But, the point at this time is that 635 positions that we can vote for, the rest of the top 1.6 million USA government positions are selected by political gains . bankers !! Falcon101, it wont work. Good point. If only Falcon101 understood your irony enough to post the petition name and the link SIGH! I wouldve signed it, but I didnt see it. Media supports certain issues though . https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/479682ec056062a80dac6d771f3e417cd2631d019c2645ac89d287281af45276.jpg 187 signatures only! Wow! The many years of Illuminati mind-control on the human trash that peoples this planet, has been overtly effective through the school curricula, media, and parental control. Ha! oh yeah, thatll happen. NOT. Dont feel bad Falcon101 Certain issues ARE censored restricted too ! Here is a (first blush) way to keep the election machines legitimate: Feel free to add or subtract. Keep spreading this news. GEMS is the biggest threat we face today and it must be killed. Donald Trump must get a copy of this, so when you make a donation, include a printout of this article thats also on Jon Rappoports blog. Mitt Romney owns a few of these machines. So do a lot of recent and former presidential candidates. Trump does not. You can be sure GEMS is what Hillary is counting on and has a vested interest in as well. Cruz also constructed some programs with Carly Fiorina which they tested in the primaries. We need to break their bubble BEFORE November. Go to WH dot gov and sign the petition to eliminate electronic voting machines, per Falcon101, below. good grief. Is no one in elected office ever held accountable for anything? This seems treasonous! Are we citizens or mice? Stand up people and call your congressmen in masse! I Am Only Obligated To Support Integrity, Since Past And Present Political Leaders Refuse To Show Any But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. 
3	Claim: Russia Accidentally Aired Secret Nuclear Weapon Plans on National TV (Oops)By Melissa Dykes One large document contained drawings of a new submarine-launched nuclear torpedo Russia is calling Status-6. The system includes nuclear subs that carry huge, self-propelled underwater long-range torpedo-shaped drones that can, according to the documents, travel 5,400 miles and create extensive, uninhabitable zones of radioactive contamination. Pavel Felgenhauer, an independent military analyst, claimed, The plan is to deliver a 100-megaton nuclear bomb to the U.S. shores. It would cause a highly radioactive tsunami. AP reported: ...it would be hard to imagine cameramen of state TV stations doing a close up on any documents on the table during a Kremlin meeting on military issues. Most saw the incident as a deliberate leak intended to warn Washington and its allies that Russia is working on a new devastating weapon that would tip the scales in case of conflict. I have a feeling it was shown in order to scare the world, said Alexander Golts, an independent Moscow-based military analyst. Its an attempt to offer an asymmetrical answer to the U.S. missile defense. Voice of America, Uncle Sams propaganda arm, claims the Kremlin confirmed the leak and said it hopes it will not happen again, but then VOA says Russia fueled the fire by further airing an interview with a defense expert who went into further detail about the new weapon. The timing cannot be ignored. Earlier this week, the U.S. Navy admitted to testing two Trident II missiles in a widely publicized launch off the coast of California that lit up the skies. The media here tried to laugh this escalation in saber rattling off with headlines like, No, it wasnt a UFO in the sky, it was just the Navy testing a nuclear missile ha ha, but no one paying attention is buying it. And its no mistake it occurred on the same day Drudge was running with a top headline about how China was making moves to dump the dollar, either. In other news just coming out this afternoon, the U.S. has also reportedly flown two B-52 bombers near the same Chinese islands the U.S. sailed warships around a few weeks back, further inflaming China. Via The Hill: The United States flew two B-52 bombers over the weekend near man-made islands constructed by China in the South China Sea, a U.S. official tells The Hill, in a clear challenge to Chinas territorial claims to the area. The bombers made one pass within 12 nautical miles of the islands, the official said, in what the military refers to as a freedom of navigation operation. During the operation, the Chinese military radioed the bombers, telling them to get away from our islands. The bombers did not comply, according to the U.S. official. All of this comes before Syria or Ukraine or Tianjin are even mentioned This could all be theater or deadly serious, but either way, the writing is on the wall. The bankers and the military-industrial complex running things want war. A big one. And when the third World War is finally declared (as in, to the general public), maybe people will finally realize that, while Dancing with the Stars was on, weve also been witnessing the carefully orchestrated lead up for a long, long time now while most Americans have been barely paying attention. The entire U.S. economy is essentially based on war. After the collapse in 2008, the Rand Corporation even released a report about how America should declare a war to save the economy instead of bailing out the banks. War and threats of force are how America has forced the world to continue with the dollar as the reserve currency all this time. Apparently the world is sick of it. 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! Why did the U.S. choose the same exact colors, and nearly the exact same pattern for our new flag as the British after the hang together or hang separately War of Independence in 1812? Why did Russia choose the same exact colors as Britain and the U.S. after Preostroika in 1991? And France, and Puerto Rico, and over 35 other countries have chosen the exact same colors. hmmm. Its all theater, the same team, playing roles since before WWI, as Stanford Hoover Fellow researcher Antony Sutton pointed out so well in his trilogies on Wall Street, FDR, the Bolsheviks, and Hitler I see Britains Union Flag, my own flag, as white for the supposed purity of the cause, red for the blood thats spilled and blue for the blood its spilled for. Propaganda. Its to die for. Americans better wake up.going to war with Russia over Syria would be idiotic TIME TO GET UNDER YOUR DESKS AGAIN CHILDREN. Duck and cover like we did as kids. 
3	Twitter Shuts Down Alt-rightBy Kurt Nimmo Twitter suspended high-profile accounts associated with the alt-right movement, the same day the social media service said it would crack down on hate speech, reports USA Today. Washington Post (@washingtonpost) November 16, 2016 The newspaper describes alt-right as a loosely organized group that espouses white nationalism. Nothing works better to discredit the opposition than to describe it as white nationalist. The BBC made the case by interviewing an avowed racist: BBC News (World) (@BBCWorld) November 16, 2016 The alt-right has no formal ideology, although various sources have stated that white nationalism is fundamental. It has also been associated with white supremacism, Islamophobia, antifeminism, homophobia, antisemitism, ethno-nationalism, right-wing populism, nativism, traditionalism, and the neoreactionary movement, according to Wikipedia. It also calls itself anti-establishment, but thats up for debate now that Donald Trump has won the election. He is considering a number of former government insiders and neocons to fill cabinet positions. USA Today ignores the variety of political ideologies lumped into the alt-right movement and portrays it as some sort of rehashed fascist or Nazi movement. Twitter was the platform of choice for the campaign of President-elect Donald Trump and the alt-right political movement that embraced him. The alt-right used social media to spread its cause of white supremacy, operating largely unchecked by social media giants Twitter and Facebook. It should be noted Twitter is a publicly traded company, not a government owned service. It cannot be accused of censorship and, although bad for public relations, has the right to deny service to any person or party it so desires based on the decisions of its corporate officers, who are, like Facebook, overwhelmingly liberal. 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. I have an etymology website of almost 15,000 entries. Im currently working on Thanksgiving riddles and jokes, tracing each one to its origin. I post my work nn Twitter, adding #Thanksgiving #riddles #jokes. There is almost no response, even though my work is the best out there, with about 6 new posts a day. If you search for Barry Popik on Twitter, its like Im talking to myself all month. I have not been banned by Twitter; its worsea shadow ban. Yes, Twitter and Google and Facebook are private companies. But, really, they are unregulated monopolies on information and social media. If a Christian or a Muslim bakery doesnt want to bake your cake on religious grounds, you can go to another baker. If Twitter and Google and Facebook want to ban or shadow ban you, you have no recourse. There is no customer service to even talk to. Mike Adams of Natural News created Good Gopher as an alternative to Google. I dont have any experience with it. You might want to check it out. http://www.naturalnews.com/056053_Good_Gopher_search_engine_independent_news.html Ive tried Good Gopher several times and came up with a big pile of nothing useful. Mike Adams is starting to lose his cool of late, constantly predicting dire events, gloating when they come true, and his dialogue is extreme and incendiary, to the point I have to question the bias of his browser. Maybe others have had better luck though, perhaps theyll weigh in here. Thats just MHO. Thats too bad. Maybe it needs more time to get some legs. Start Page doesnt really help us because it uses the standard search engines then hides the identity of the user, right? The only silver lining I can see is maybe the censorship moves will galvanize people to begin collaborating, sharing information however, wherever, and whenever we can. Adams means well and has a lot of energy, too bad sometimes he gets misdirected with the hype. Everything is tainted, ya know, we really need collective brainstorming. Ive used Start Page for a couple of years but yes, to my understanding it uses Google and then hides your searches and identity. I really only use it so I dont have to look at the stupid Google logo and ads. I am deeply feeling the collective angst today. I just wrote elsewhere that I can literally feel the growing anxiety of the Clinton supporters who lost and now the Trump supporters who are waking up to the Neocon monster they have created. But you know me, I get happier the worse things get because I know the entire system has to collapse before we get to press the Restart button and were zooming along, full tilt boogie. Im already tuning out because Ive always known the internet would become just as useless as WaPo or Time Magazine. I only come here to read your comments and get recipes for the cookbook Im working on. so far Google still allows me look at fifty ways to use arugula. Im honored and flattered, OS, though I do believe your sage insight has far more positive repercussions than you realize. Its an intangible energy of deep knowing forming a bedrock of peaceful civilized understanding. Youre an essential part of the Great Karass as the great metaphor extraordinaire Eddy might say. Today, I also had some glimpses of the collective angst. For me, it feels like waves of the stages of grief flowing through the Matrix. The initial trepidation by a portion of the awake community being replaced with a full realization of WTF are going to do now? Too many want to give up, theyre spent, the war of attrition felt deeply. Its all in the way we perceive our collective power. We both know only a tiny fraction of our potential has been able to peek through the veils. What comes next is out of our hands, so, as you said, we do what we can and call it enough as there are greater forces waiting in the wings to take their cues. Call it nature, entropy, fate, Divine interventionits gonna have its say in the affairs of mankind megalomaniacs. To be continued.. Thats a perfect summation. interesting that youre feeling this angst too. It felt very heavy today, like a deep sigh of resignation. But Ive learned to separate what is mine from the energy of the collective so I dont get dragged down with it. Youre right though, people are very tired. So many invest far too much energy begging for leadership that could be better spent looking inside and leading themselves. The members of a lightworking collective I belong to all seem ready to give up and slide under the waves. I keep saying Dont give up, were almost at the finish line! But they feel they have been hearing this for a long time and most are still so tightly wound up in the artificial time matrix its hard to convince them time doesnt actually exist, there is only the now moment where life takes place. Oh no, OS goes woo woo again. So many invest far too much energy begging for leadership that could be better spent looking inside and leading themselves. Thats it in a perfect nutshell. Hang in there, OS, youre a rare gift, a true wayshower. Take heart, you are not alone. Thanks for hanging in there with me you know, we are both utilizing and engaging a lot of knowledge gained from our past experiences. I used to race in a lot of triathlons in my yoot. Most people have heard about The Wall, that gruesome place where your body gives up but your mind keeps you moving forward. We are at The Wall now. The thing is, you can almost always either see the actual finish line or hear people cheering those crossing it before you (yes, I wasnt first across the line, hard as that may be to believe LOL but I always made it even when it almost killed me) but the sound of cheering was enough to keep you going. I can hear the cheering and the clappingyikes, I think theyve started the party without us! Anytime, OS. I completely agree, the past was preparation for the now of this challenging time. Yeah, The Wall, ugh, making it to the finish line on endorphins and sheer determinationthe wheels seemingly about to fly off, hair in the wind here we go! Speaking of go! Ive been playing around with various search engines while boning up on our new racist AG (who likes Lady Gaga and the KKK but hates potheads. As these nominations eke out, we can get a much better view of how the future may play out IMO) Anyway, Google/Start Page gave me nothing but mainstream sources, DuckDuckGo gives a whole gamut of off beat sites mixed with mainstream, a much deeper mix on the same key words with some filtering options. Im going to give it a run for awhile. Okay! I have something important for you. This was written a few years ago and I have been trying to find it so I could share it with you, and then Boom its right on my news feed this morning. Its about how to jump timelines. As I said, Ive done this twice on my own intuitively, without these helpful directions, and both times where I found myself in the midst of chaos, I chose a timeline of No fear. This is an old surfer motto that I think about every time I see your blue wave avatar. I have surfed real waves like that and let me tell you, you need to be a perfect state of no fear or you aint gonna make it, so your avatar has great meaning for me personally. This article is from a trusted source (Tom Kenyon) and is quite detailed but I can tell you it works. This could be the most important thing you will ever read, it actually holds the key your survival in the coming days, weeks and years remaining on this Chaotic Timeline. Now that i have these detailed instructions in hand, Im going to jump to another timeline again I will see you there. Please go to the home page of In5D dotcom and read The Art of Jumping Timelines. Busy day today, I finally finished a careful reading of Kenyons excellent and timely advice. Thank you! Its a perfect encapsulation of what I have been feeling and the conclusion Ive been arriving at for some time. I am in the process of doing the very things suggested and have been experiencing the shift the past couple of weeks. Both you and the article have given me valuable feedback and confirmation. I absolutely agree releasing all fear is essential. My guess is the controllers picked up on a growing refusal by the leading edge of light workers to be influenced by their fear traps. The sands are rapidly shifting beneath our feet as we attempt to deftly move forward. Its strangely exciting, isnt it? Not out of woods, though our purpose seems clearer. A million thanks, OS! And a million hugs back. Im so glad you were in a place to receive this information and be able to utilize it. I read it over several times and Ive been working with it all day. The hard part, as I see it, is deciding what timeline to be on. I chose the phrase Sacred Terra same idea as New Earth as they are calling it. It is a clearly defined space. My twin flame and I have been actively creating this in a specific spatial context for a long time, but the perseverance is indeed the hard part, keeping the vibration stable and the connection solid when navigating common life. I get better with practice, this article helps refine it tremendously. This is why I am here now, I have a clearly defined purpose, and I just had the notion (for a long while actually) its the same for you. Yes, its strangely exciting, thats the perfect description. - These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Strap in! Im starting to collaborate with someone too. I typed that, then deleted it to keep the clutter in the message down. Auspicious synchronicity. Im strapped in, ready for take off. Lets roll! Good. Collaboration is extremely helpful, it multiplies the effect tremendously. Im happy to hear that. I had a few things come to mind re: fear. I get the feeling the surveillance issue has been bothering you lately. Worrying or even mild concern about being watched (or having the sense that the Big Brother noose is tightening) is one of the many insidious forms of fear. Even when were not obviously in a place of fear, subtle worry about anything is fear. On a personal level, the controllers dont care about a couple of looney tunes talking Star Trek, they have all the 3D slaves they need to keep their loosh baskets full, leaving us free to fly under the radar because were not upsetting their plans in any way. They know about us (all of us, I mean) but they cant stop us even if they wanted to because we have free will and they cannot bust through that. Thats our infinite Get Out of Jail Free card. The second is that they leave the truly fearless alone. I have met two controllers face to face. They are big, ugly dudes but if you show no fear they leave you alone because you have nothing they want. They test everyone, but when you create a protective warrior shield of fearlessness around you, they cannot penetrate it because they cannot vibrate at your higher level and you are no longer food to them. Those who remain fixated on the doom scenario are choosing this just by saying or thinking, Thats New Age woo woo stuff, and ignoring all of this information, willfully choosing material life in third dimensional reality even though the exit doors are open. Some young people are Machine Riders who are choosing to become cyborgs. They are coming to this planet specifically to have that experience, to consciously create AI reality and be a part of that earth timeline. They are creating singularity with every thought and doing it consciously, not being sucked into it against their will like we might think. This is not my problem, not my responsibility. We might worry that we are leaving these poor, deluded souls behind or not caring about all the drama and trauma flowing around them, that we have to do something about it. But we are not creating the trauma and drama, its not our responsibility to fix it or undo it. I cant stop all the wars and mayhem. I can create higher dimensional space where peace exists, but I cannot do that if Im using my free will to be mired in the mayhem. This ethos Im trying to describe lets us off the responsibility hook so to speak, but if we dont consciously let ourselves off the hook we cannot create what we came to create because wed be too bogged down in Doom World. When you exit the matrix by actually exiting the matrix (and not peeking back into it just to see whats going on hehehe, we never do this, do we? Virtual reality is addictive for a reason!) then you are able to raise your vibration and are free to create whatever reality you want. Strangely exciting, yes! The surveillance doesnt frighten me, OS. I make spying the focus of my commentary because I believe its the biggest immediate threat to our ability to share information and collectively resist draconian edicts. The alt reports tend to compartmentalize surveillance rather than creating a frame of reference that places it into a systematized lock down of the individual to move and speak freely not in a future theoretical scenario, rather it is right here, right now getting its traction with little resistance. I posit this is exactly why Drs Bradstreet and Gonzalez were murdered (I cant imagine Gonzalez had a natural heart attack). That being said, I understand either a collective shift will happen in this very narrow window we have giving us more wiggle room or the sheep will stay on their current path. Theres only so much a few very awake people can accomplish. My personal spiritual escape has already taken place, having shed ALL attachment to this social construct / timeline will either allow me to ride out this time spiritually unscathed or it will add positive energy flow to the shift either way its what I intuit I must do. Though, I will continue to search for leveraged openings to nudge the collective consciousness (which Ive been doing for a long time, its more than what you see outwardly on A. Post). My mindset is an unwavering Ya, Im ready to get the heck out of this prison for the mind. Hope that makes sense. Probably sounds like no fear bluster, but Im prepared for all eventualities, even the unthinkable. Picture me 2 months ago in my garden waving to a circling black helicopter. LOL It might not have been for me this time, didnt matter. Im already free. Seven years ago, they scared off a friend on the east coast when our emails were intercepted and a summary notation was accidentally (?) left in, written by a low level nitwit who didnt have a handle on geopolitical affairs. Some goon also drove up to her out of the way ranch. The bottom line is TPTB intend to keep awake people isolated, not communicating in meaningful ways. Im here to counter that for as long as reasonably possible to hold open the escape hatch or so it seems. No worries that Im deluding myself to hang onto to a pipe dream the entire herd will come around Its out of our hands, imo. Adroitly stated a clear courageous clarity summation/ synopsis of this our existential presentthat mirrors my own inner landscape about our collective dire situationas the 99% unwittingly builds its own prison around itselfthere are (sadly) only a relative few like yourself, that are preciently aware of the clear present danger of the inexorable stealth of an encapsulating python squeeze of the NWO juggernautbrought to you by the snake charmers on the corporate one-eyed idiot boxafter they removed our fangs..cheers You have a wonderful way with words. Ha! Well, if anyone should be accused of no fear bluster, that would be me. Thanks for that explanation of your current synthesis, makes total sense. You are, as always, on point. I have had my own experiences with the black choppers, who are really nothing but minions, albeit unpredictable ones because they do not adhere to the free will principle of this planet. In dealing with such nonsense I fall back on Icke (however odd that sounds) regarding the reason he doesnt travel with body guards or take any type of security precautions for himself. If he hasnt actually become a minion himself by now (a possibility, a bit of fame attracts attention) then he would certainly be a target. But he always presents as fearless and I take notice of anyone who projects this way. He said (paraphrasing) If I carried a gun or took precautions then that would mean that I accept that something might happen to me. I dont accept that because I know for a fact it wont. By this I think he means that he also believes that we create our reality and by pre-accepting a particular outcome we actually set it in motion. I just do a minion detox in my etheric volume every so often, just for the fun of it. LOL In any event, thanks for your thoughts, as always. Agree with everything you said, OS, including the suppression of our abilities to communicate telepathically. Thank you for your heartfelt insight, all received gratefully and duly noted. Thank goodness the election circus over. I need a mini vacation! Better yet, the universe is telling me I can expand and leave behind some old baggage which was once useful but now its creating a drag coefficient. Thanks again. Totally. Im avoiding all of it too, old baggage especially, taking my vacation on Sacred Terra where snow is falling on mountains. Waxed my skis today, horray, spending the Thanksgiving week being grateful for being. Love you. R Sounds perfect, hope you have a wonderful time. See ya around. Love and hugs. I forgot to mention, you wrote- I make spying the focus of my commentary because I believe its the It is, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You may know all this already but our DNA is being upgraded to return our mislabeled junk DNA back to its original template. All this junk was turned off by the the Annunaki geneticists because humans had many multidimensional powers like telepathy, clairvoyance, etc. that made them hard to control. We were essentially dumbed down instead of growing more evolved, another lie. We all have the ability to communicate telepathically and its coming online quickly now. Certainly animal communication is proof of this. Im sure you do this with your dogs all the time, and going forward you can practice this ability with intention even more. And its quite possible that the rush toward a full-on surveillance state is because they anticipate this eventuality, so they want to train us to only think inside the box, a practice that would eventually prevent anyone from ever thinking outside it. Im thinking it wont be long before we wont need to communicate in such a restricted fashion at all. Such a wise Olde Soul indeed were definitely of the same ilk karass (if I may be so bold).cheers Be as bold as you want to be! Cheers. P.S. Thanks for the search engine tip! It disappeared on the thread. Ill try it. Oh I deleted it after I learned it has an NSA connection. Sorry. My gosh, thats a gorgeous image. Thank you, Hanz! You continue to amaze me. This seems like part of a large campaign to dismiss alternative voices by labeling any other voices as racist, homophobic etc. throwing all alternative media in one basket is impossible Such a variety out there. Alt right has been defined and labeled by the establishment. They are calling alternative news fake or alt right (aka racist). They are only preaching to the choir though, those who follow alternative news do so because they have figured out this scam. This divisive election will eventually lead more people to exit mainstream media. I think people should read Wikileaks to understand (connect the dots)whats going on, and the aims of Globalism. Which is frankly the destruction of the West and 1st world democracies including using Islamic extremism as a tool to divide and destroy the western nations. This Twitter thing is just one in a long line of tactics. Destruction of the west is the ONLY way Globalism can succeed. imho Can we get a grip here for a second? Twitter is not necessary for life, its not even relevant and never was. The notion they can shut out the alt-media is just as frivolous and ridiculous as Twitter itself. We can just as easily shut down Twitter simply by refusing to play its silly game, thats how relevant and critical they are. I see the AP twitter feed is still up and running. perhaps its time Alt media started taking itself seriously. Its all BS, its about control and nothing else which is against free speech I might add, so FB and twitter do the same BS, I already got off of fb years ago, I just got on twitter about a month ago, dont think that will last long, these morons have to ruin what could be a good thing. Exactly what they do, and it is very deceptive, but look at the source. Everyone that as been kicked off twitter for rightwing views are heading straight over to Gab, a new free speech platform with no censorship lefty dogma. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e1f7802bd362d101f9fd8f59f59d1ee2e8d1f548c8ec6ae5b39c20eb3305c2c6.jpg 
2	Comeys Own Inner Circle Flip The Script To Bring Him To Justice... Take Him Down Ever since she earned the vote for Democratic Presidential nominee, President Obama has been urging the American public to elect Hillary Clinton as our next president. And its not surprising, given that his reputation is closely tied to his former adversary. Lets not forget, Obama is responsible for appointing Clinton as his Secretary of State. That means that each and every one of her crimes, including her role in Benghazi, is blood on his hands. Clinton has also made it abundantly clear that she intends to continue down Obamas path. She is the only hope Obama has for maintaining his legacy projects like Obamacare. If Trump is elected president, he will strive to undo much of the damage Obama has caused in his two terms as president. Its probably not to his liking than, that agents and officials within the FBI are staging an unofficial revolt against Director James Comey for his decision to let Clinton off the hook. FBI officials are reportedly so angry, one official said, It is safe to say the vast majority felt she should be prosecuted. We were floored while listening to the FBI briefing because Comey laid it all out and then said, But we are doing nothing, which made no sense to us. Judge Andrew Napolitano also chimed in on the matter. It is well known that the FBI agents on the ground, the human beings who did the investigative work, had built an extremely strong case against Hillary Clinton and were furious when the case did not move forward, he argued. They believe the decision not to prosecute came from the White House. What do you think? Is President Obama the source of all of this corruption? 
2	The Movement To Get Rid Of Paul Ryan Has Begun House Speaker Paul Ryan insulted virtually every conservative in America last week when he signed off on a $1.1 trillion bill that essentially gave everything President Obama wanted over on a silver platter. Now, he is experiencing severe backlash for his actions. Ken Crow, the former leader of the Tea Party of America, began a search for a local candidate willing to primary Paul Ryan in the 1st District. All patriots should contact your groups leaders and begin organizing nationwide to put down this RINO in order that he is not re-elected to his seat in Wisconsin, Crow wrote. The Badger State patriots need to begin soliciting your State Senators, high-profile business leaders or the State Legislators who reside within the 1st District of Wisconsin, Crows message went viral after it got picked up by Fox News and eventually was posted by the Wisconsin Tea Party. Now, someone has set up a Primary Paul Ryan Facebook page. It has already accumulated more than 18,000 followers. In his argument, Crow pointed out that the candidate heading up against Ryan will need significant funding, claiming that Ryan receives at least $5 million in funds. This candidate will need a truckload of cash to make this an actual race, he commented. This means we all need to reach deep and find an extra $10 or $20 bill to send to this candidate. If 200 or 300,000 of us do this, now we have a very real chance of knocking off Ryan in the primary and winning the general election. Republicans in Wisconsin have until the first week of April to find a suitable candidate. What do you think? Does Ryan deserve to be taken down? 
1	Overwhelmed by pangs of hunger, retired color commentator John Madden, 76, reportedly succumbed to years of intense cravings Thursday and finally just ate his entire 45-foot-long luxury bus. Sources confirmed that Madden had begun complaining about wanting an extra little smidgen of something to eat shortly after consuming every last morsel of food, numerous Tupperware containers, a shelf, and two crisper drawers in his homes double-wide refrigerator. The Hall of Fame head coach then spotted the RV parked in his driveway and shuffled outside, where witnesses said he quickly devoured the 54,000-pound motor home in approximately 20 minutes. My stomach was rumbling hard, and I was thinking how I could really go for a large coach bus, said Madden, who used the rear axle of the vehicle to dislodge a satellite dish caught in his teeth. The engine was still warm and all crunchy and gooey. Plus, the radial tires were delicious when dipped in a little coolant. That RV was a lip-smacking, scrumptious ride. You can really sink your teeth into the tasty layers of fiberglass and stainless steel, which just melt in your mouth, Madden added. Im so glad I saved the cherrywood paneling for dessert. The former Oakland Raiders head coach confirmed he had often contemplated eating the customized bus while on long road trips across the country. But he said he was nonetheless surprised by the rich and diverse flavors discovered in each pleasing mouthful of the massive vehicles leather seats, granite floors, six-speed automatic transmission, and mobile office. Madden, who polished off the outer shell of the RV and the anti-lock braking system in several minutes, told reporters he was particularly fond of a tall stack of three plasma televisions rolled up in a queen-sized mattress and covered in pieces of bed frame, LED accent lights, and a drizzle of motor oil. When you have a big, custom motor home like this, you want to get some good stuff in every bite, Madden said. I liked it best when I got a little bit of windshield, bumper, carpeting, countertop, dashboard, and radiator all at once. Now that has a zesty kick. While the Super Bowlwinning coach said feasting on the nearly 12-foot-tall tour bus hit the spot, Maddens wife, Virginia, reportedly scolded him for shoveling in the entire dining area and scarfing down the small kitchen in two gulps. Im surprised he even tasted anything the way he wolfed down that RV, Virginia Madden said. He barely even chewed the sauna. I just know hes going to have heartburn from eating that much bus before bed. In the middle of the night, Madden reportedly woke up, drove across town, and snacked on half of a barbecue joint. 
1	A study released Friday concerning the four suicide deaths of NFL kickers in recent months suggests the players all exhibited signs of post-timeout stress disorder, a condition blamed on the 'hellish psychological torture' of an opposing coach icing them with a timeout right before a field-goal attempt. 'Kickers don't like to admit timeouts bother them, because in football's masculine culture that's a sign of weakness,' said Dr. Franklin Gould, one of the study's authors, who criticized the league for disputing the harm caused by kicker icing. 'This is an extremely harrowing experience for kickers, and we always recommend they take a few weeks off to cope and talk to someone about what they went through. But in most cases, they go right back on the field and attempt the field goal again anyway.' The study was particularly harsh on the San Diego Chargers, whose kicker Nick Novak showed 'several symptoms' of deteriorating mental health, such as urinating on the sideline, before his shooting spree targeting the Broncos' coaching staff last week.

3	World Buzzing in Aftermath of ISIS PsyopScripted engineered consent for expanded war raises worldwide suspicion. Psychological operations and the end result of these operations are little known to most of humanity. Those that conduct the operations dont announce what they are doing, in the same way a magician never gives away his secrets. Understanding the principle of secrecy and how important it is to magicians is all you need to understand the culture of secrecy among the ranks of the controlling class. One of the tricks to understanding how to stay sane in an insane world is understanding the process of how the world works. Now more than ever it is important to distinguish between truth and lies, what is factually happening versus how different people interpret or spin those events. It is important to separate emotional feeling from pure knowledge and facts. And it is important to realize the truth that is right in front of you regardless of how painful the truth may seem. Look the pain (that comes with truth) in the eye and see it for what it is. Once you do this, you will realize the hardest part is over with. Just getting you to see what is actually happening is indeed the hardest part. The control system knows this. They know that most people prefer not to look, they prefer to live in a dream world where government is the good guys here to keep you safe. People prefer to live in a world where everything is predictable, where everything is comfortable, and a world where fun and entertainment is the only thing that matters. This pacification of the masses is well documented by Sigmund Freuds nephew and so-called founding father of modern-day public relations Edward Bernays. Bernays was very vocal about how the engineering of consent would be done and why. He honestly felt that the general public could not be trusted to guide the zeitgeist of their current generation. Imagine, Bernays made a decision on behalf of all of humanity to instruct government on the engineering process and to misguide humanitys consciousness to suit the needs of a few controllers, all for the sake of humanity and to supposedly save humanity from its own inadequacies. Bernays even argued that this was the best thing for humanity. Today we are seeing all of Bernays tactics being displayed. The engineering of consent to invade Iraq and now Syria illegally based on the series of carefully chosen over-sensationalized ISIS beheading stories. ISIS is now a full creation of the Western mainstream media, CIA, Mossad and allies. Its taken on a life of its own in the consciousness of humanity. You can feel humanity still buzzing over this brand new terror prospect; as in sports, when a new rookie phenom comes on the scene. The rookie impresses the consciousness of that sport and often for many years to come. After all, its not every day that we wake up over thirteen years since the start of the war on terror, and find that a brand new terror bogeymonster created itself in this almost post-terrorism era. Sounds surreal and unbelievable? Think there is no way any of this could happen unless Intelligence made it happen? Apparently many people in Iraq are not buying the ISIS psyop either. This compelled the New York Times to recently accuse the Iraqi general public of conspiracy theories for suspecting that ISIS and CIA are actually working together. Amazing isnt it? Remember when conspiracy theorists were supposed to be lonely paranoid geeks living in basements in America? As Ive been predicting for years, now everyone will eventually be accused of being a conspiracy theorist as long as humanity continues to wake up to the globalist plans. If anyone hasnt figured it out yet, the words conspiracy theorists (as I have written about before) is reserved for those who try to expose the new world order plans. Apparently, only the globalists are allowed to expose the same new world order we all expose every day. When they do it, its normal. When someone else blows the whistle or reports their progress, its conspiracies. Even Russias Putin has been accused earlier this year of conspiracy theories with regard to the Ukrainian Kiev government caught shooting down MH17. Another example of how anyone who opposes the U.S. Empire and the Zionist globalists is accused of being a conspiracy theorist across the board. Look for this pattern and question it. Despite all the war rhetoric from the usual politicians and mainstream media, there seems to be a feeling deep in the heart of many (as were seeing in Iraq) that people are just not buying into this. Even if they are going along with mainstream media news and not outwardly questioning the ISIS stories. People are getting it. People are seeing the clear pattern. People are looking at the Al Qaeda years, how the fake WMD accusations in Iraq and how 9/11 as a whole was used to get us into the war on terror which clearly now seems like it will never end which is perfectly aligned with Rebuilding Americas Defenses the paper written by the Bush Neocons as part of their Project for the New American Century long-term plans. The ISIS psyop narrative is powerful and brings many other factors into play. For one, it has left the susceptible sector of humanity (hypnotized and believing mainstream media news) in a state of fear. This buzz has those in this sector living more on edge than ever before. They are quietly looking for ISIS and hoping government will save them from ISIS so that they dont end up like the beheaded Christians in Iraq. Those who are awake are also buzzing from the aftermath of the ISIS psyop wondering what the globalists will do next. Are they setting us up for another 9/11. We are all wondering how evil and how desperate they are. What will they do next? This buzz of anticipation is also contributing to humanitys awakening. With so much of humanity wondering, questioning, and doubting the ISIS narrative and admiring how nicely the ISIS psyop fits into the globalist long term plans, the ISIS psyop (despite those that are falling for it) is slowly becoming a huge window for people to wake up to the plans of the globalist. Remember, big false flags and big government psychological operations yield big results. They (the control system) dont draft out and carry out these plans hoping they win, they carry these plans out knowing they will win or should we say, thinking they will win. Of course, we (humanity) have a chance to change the outcome of this story by confronting the surreal ironies involved in the mysterious creation and full arming and funding of ISIS in a post terrorism era long after the start of George Bushs war on terror was launched. Remember how Bush told us his war on terror was going to squash terrorism? How did ISIS outsmart the U.S. empire and the entire NATO and global community whose primary focus is stopping terrorism? So in the aftermath of ISIS and before too many countries start sounding like Iraq and continue questioning who ISIS works for, the U.S. politicians went to quick work to vote for funding the terrorists and giving arms to them. The attitude among the corrupt politicians is: weve seen the mainstream media stories about ISIS, we believe it so lets bomb. And with that they are agreeing to fund more terrorists and insurgents, wage more war and bomb more targets. The engineered consent of the general public to go to war, however, didnt actually happen the way we would have expected. Although the media presented their ISIS propaganda to spread the fear first, ultimately the consent was engineered alright, but mostly among the politicians. They dont care as much what the public actually thinks. They only care to generate scripted narratives. Narratives that they can spin on TV and verbally use as the pretext to the next war. Face it, theyve got the war pretext dialogue mastered and it works for them every time. Every time that is, because we allow it. What can we learn from the ISIS crisis? We can learn from the subtle chronological sequence of events that Intelligence uses to introduce a crisis of Intelligence. Recall prior to the ISIS psyop we saw CNNs Jake Tapper covering the Ferguson shooting protest with a huge ISIS psyop banner strategically placed directly behind him. Keep in mind this was during the very early phase of the ISIS psyop. We also want to learn from the timetable we observed. Within just two weeks the mainstream media-government team worked up the ISIS scare to a maximum and spun the narrative so as to induce the brainwashed sheep into a trance where they expect the U.S. (Obama) to do something about the beheading videos. It was amazing to observe the speed and the systematic process by which the control system staged the engineered consent. Frankly, the entire process was predictable and frightening to anyone paying attention. Let us take this new knowledge of how the control system implements its engineered consent on the hypnotized masses, how and when the narrative gets handed over to the control system for its ready and waiting PRE-engineered consent. The sooner we all see the pattern the sooner we can come together to find creative ways to bring this all to an end. I believe there are creative ways to bring this whole suffering and madness to an end. For now lets keep sharing the truth about what the globalists are doing and lets just use their own template against them. Lets show them that repeating their own template for waging war and undermining sovereign nations is predictable and bound to eventually fail. Lets see to it that they fail at their plans for global control. Lets have fun (if you would) sabotaging their plans. Life is a journey, but you dont know exactly how the journey will play out. Stick to the side of truth and let the chips fall where they may. Fight for the bigger cause and let go of your smaller paradigm. Let go of the paradigm the control system wants to keep you in. The paradigm of self-absorbed behavior. This was the paradigm Edward Bernays understood was key to controlling the masses. Fight back, dont concern yourself with only your own SELF pleasures and egoism. Instead concern yourself with the bigger picture (NON-self) and DONT allow the TV and media to control what you think. Try to see how opposing this modern-day mind control mechanism is the coolest thing you can do. See how it is much cooler to BE the change, to master your own life and to not be a slave to the control system. Seeing reality for what it is will always be the first step. With the full commitment to the ISIS psyop the control system now needs to confront humanity as a whole (as indicated by the Iraqi people not being fooled). As we move forward I believe humanity is buzzing. That is, people are talking, wondering, thinking, and observing more than ever. This is where we need to be before we can experience mass awakening. 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. 
1	An embarrassed God admitted Monday that He was late for the Saturday wedding of Patrick Moore and Dina Roble, arriving halfway through the ceremony but catching 'most of the important stuff.' Roble and Moore, who were married Saturday in the partial presence of God (inset). 'It was one heck of a day,' God said. 'Yes, I can be all places at once, but it's just so hard to keep it all straight sometimes. It's been crazy all month, and this thing just came up so fast.' The ceremony that forever joined Moore, 28, and Roble, 26, in holy matrimony was held at 11 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church on Gorman Avenue in Carthage. Neither bride nor groom was aware of the Lord's tardiness. 'Religion is very important to my entire family, and Dina and I plan to raise our children in a Christian environment,' Moore said. 'So it was important for us to have our wedding in a Roman Catholic church, and be united under the eyes of God.' God admitted that His eyes were upon the couple for a little less than half of the ceremony'which is a lot,' said God, considering the length of the Roman Catholic liturgy. 'The Catholics go through everything at a wedding,' God said. 'There's a sermon and readings and even Communion. With the songs and the procession and the 'I do' stuff thrown in there, it takes so long. And the whole time, it's stand, sit, kneel, stand, sing, recite, sit, stand, sing, kneel, sit.' God added that the ceremony's liturgy of the Wordwhich includes readings from the Old and New Testaments, a responsory Psalm, the 'alleluia' before the Gospel, and a Gospel readingis nothing He hasn't already heard 'billions of times.' Calling Himself 'free of sin,' the Lord blamed His late arrival on poor directions provided by the couple. 'I was running a bit behind and, admittedly, I probably should have left a little earlier,' He said. 'But I really would have made it on time if I hadn't been stupid enough to rely on that map Patrick included in the invitations. It was barely readable. Then, I come to find out that East Gorman is a totally different street than Gorman Avenue. They run parallel. So, for about 25 minutes, I'm cruising up and down East Gorman like an idiot, looking for 299and, of course, there isn't any.' Finally, at 11:30 a.m., halfway through the ceremony, God located the small brick church. He slipped in unnoticed during the middle of the second reading. 'I came in the back, really quiet, like a thief in the night. Nobody turned around or anything, so I doubt they noticed,' God said. 'Besides, I am in a form no human eyes can discern, so I'd have to be pretty clumsy to get busted.' God said He does not feel a need to tell Moore and Roble that His spirit was not fully looking over them as they became husband and wife. 'Why point it out?' God said. 'I got there for the exchange of the wedding vows, so, really, is any harm done?' Among the parts of the wedding God missed were the prelude, in which Roble's sister Tammy sang 'Come And Journey With Me'; the processional; and the opening prayer, in which God was personally thanked for attending the ceremony. 'It was such a beautiful day,' Moore said. 'Everything was absolutely perfect. We were married in the presence of our friends, our family, and, of course, our God. What more could we ask for?' Even Father Michael White, who officiated the ceremony, was unaware of God's absence, despite making numerous direct references to Him throughout. 'We always start off the ritual by welcoming God into His house and into the lives of the soon-to-be-married couple,' White said during the beginning of the ceremony. 'He is as central to this as the bride and groom.' God said He has 'no regrets' about His tardiness. 'I really don't mind weddingsthey're better than the funerals,' God said. 'But I've already been to 892,245 of them in the past month alone. It's not like I really needed to hear one more organ rendition of 'Nearer To Thee.'' 
2	BREAKING: GOP Congressman Drops BOMBSHELL About Obamas Impeachment According to recent reports, Rep. Rom Cole of Oklahoma denied this week that Republican leaders are considering impeaching President Barack Obama. Cole went on to claim that it was very seldom that the conversation about impeachment came up. The only people I ever hear talk about impeachment are Democrats, and I think its always for political purposes, Cole told MSNBC. No impeachment legislation is pending. None has been proposed. I know of no one who favors that as a course thats in any leadership position. Of course, rumors from lawmakers about a possible impeachment have been circulating for months. If impeachment comes up, its not because Congress wants to do that, its because the president has chosen to bring that upon himself by not enforcing the laws on the books, Rep. Ted Yoho told the Tea Part Express. And according to a poll by the HuffPost, 68% of Republican respondents said they believed there was justification for beginning to impeachment process against Obama. Only 8% of Democrats said the same. What do you think? Is there any hope for an Obama impeachment? 
1	With June 14 just a week away, citizens nationwide are hoping that brisk, windy weather is in store for this Flag Day. 'A Flag Day without wind is like a Columbus Day with mail delivery: It just doesn't feel right,' said Coast Guard Rear Adm. Roger Jessup, who is serving as this year's Flag Day grand marshal. 'I long for the Flag Days of my youth, when the winds were always strong and steady. Seems like in the past few years there's barely been a breeze and Old Glory just droops. Except for Flag Day '02, when it was so blustery the flag whipped right around the flagpole.' Jessup, whose duties include answering Flag Day mail from the nation's children, added that if everyone tried as hard as they could to be good this week, 'perhaps Starry Stripes, the Flag Day Fairy, will blow some nice breezy air our way.' 
3	The Tools Collectivists Use To Gain PowerBy Brandon Smith Now, people who do not understand the nature of collectivism will often argue that individualism and collectivism are not mutually exclusive because individuals require groups in order to survive and thrive. However, a group is not necessarily a collective. For some reason the core fundamental of collectivism the use of psychological coercion or physical force to compel participation goes right over the heads of many skeptics. A group does not have to be collectivist. Any group can and should be voluntary. Collectivism is NOT voluntary. Therefore, collectivism and individualism are indeed mutually exclusive. Collectivists and individualists cannot exist in the same space at the same time without eventually coming into conflict. There is simply no way around it. From the position of the liberty minded (or the average Libertarian), collectivism is by far the inferior of the two philosophies. Collectivists often boast of the social and economic harmonization collectivism creates, as well as the mobilization of labor to streamline progress. The reality is that artificially rigged harmony is no harmony at all. If people are forced to homogenize and get along through fear, then peace has not truly been accomplished. Human beings must come to their own conclusions on cooperation and tolerance in their own time. They cannot be manipulated and shoehorned into a utopian framework. Problems will result, like genocide, which tends to erupt during almost every attempt at collectivist utopianism. Economic harmonization is even less practical, with government force inevitably used to confiscate resources from one group to give to another group, essentially punishing success or frugality. This creates an environment in which achievement becomes less desirable. When people do not have individual incentive to pursue achievement, they see personal effort as wasted. Innovation and entrepreneurship fall by the wayside, and society as a whole begins to diminish in prosperity. Without individual accomplishments and ingenuity, the group is nothing but a hollow mindless ant hill. Another argument which usually arises is that individualism leads to selfishness and the dominance of wealth devouring machines like corporations. I would remind collectivists that corporations exist only through the legal framework and protections of corporate personhood created by governments, and without government protections and favor, corporations could not exist. It is by collectivism, not individualism, that corporatocracy thrives. At the same time, collectivists consistently blame individualist free markets for the numerous ailments of nations. Yet another misrepresentation considering America has not had true free markets in well over a century, and most other nations have never had true free markets in their history. Feudalism and its child Socialism have always been present to plague mankind. There are no merits to collectivism that are not accomplished with greater success by individualism and voluntary community. In fact, collectivism only serves to enrich and empower a select few elites while destroying the future potential of all other individuals. Given the disturbing nature of collectivism, one would think that attempts at collectivist societies would be a rarity, shunned by most people as akin to inviting cancer into the body. Unfortunately, cultures based on individualism are the minority in history. The average collectivist is not usually much of a beneficiary of collectivism. We call these people useful idiots or sheeple who unknowingly serve the darker machinations of elitists while under the delusion that they are changing society for the better. The reason useful idiots participate in collectivism are many, but I have found that across the spectrum these people tend to be weak willed, weak minded, and by extension, possess a rabid desire for control over others. It is perhaps no coincidence that intellectuals (self proclaimed) tend to end up at the forefront of modern efforts for collectivism. While the poor and destitute are often exploited by collectivism as a mob to be wielded like a battering ram, it is the soft noodle-bodied and fearful academia that acts as middle management in the collectivist franchise. It is they that desire the power to impose their superior ideologies on others, and since they are too weak to accomplish anything on their own, they require the cover and momentum of collectivist movements to give them the totalitarian fix they so crave. In other words, they believe in humanitarianism by totalitarianism. Individualism is under constant and imminent threat as the collectivist obsession with control grows. The ultimate end game of collectivists is to derive submission from individuals, to corner people into handing over their individualism willingly. It is not enough for them to merely apply force, the greatest power is in the power of consent. Here are the most common tools used by collectivists to obtain power and manufacture consent from the masses. Collectivists rely greatly on the force of a well-aimed mob to convince the general public they have the consensus position; that they are in the majority. Appearing to be in the majority is the single most important goal of a collectivist movement, even if they are in reality a small minority. The anonymity of web activism gives the force of the mob a new potency. No more than a dozen collectivists working in tandem can wreak havoc in multiple web forums or harass numerous individualist publications while giving casual readers the impression that their ideology is everywhere. The key here is that collectivists understand that the average person does not want to be seen as too contrary to the majority. They understand that the majority view matters to the public, even if the majority view is utterly wrong. If collectivists can convince enough people that their ideology is the majority view, they know that many people will blindly adopt that ideology as their own in order to fit in. The lie of consensus then becomes a self perpetuating prophecy. This problem will remain forever a danger as long as people continue to care at all about the majority view. Those institutions people consider core institutions are sometimes vital, and sometimes not. That said, it is the openly admitted objective of collectivists through socialist-style movements to destroy core institutions so that there is no competition to their new system. A collectivist society cannot allow citizens to have any loyalties beyond their loyalty to the group or the state. So, individual liberties must be degraded or removed, as per the constant reinterpretation of the Constitution as a living document. Religious institutions must be painted as shameful affairs for stupid barbaric cave-people. And, the family unit must be broken apart. This is done through economic depravity so pronounced that families never see each other, through state influence over children through public schooling, and through identity politics and propaganda which create sexual and racial conflicts out of thin air. This coincides with the idea of artificial consensus, but it goes beyond the use of the mob. In our daily lives we are now bombarded with collectivist messages in mainstream news, in television shows, in movies, through web media and print media. The money behind these outlets belongs to a very small and select group of people, but through them the collectivist worldview is injected into every corner of our society. I would call this propaganda by attrition; an indirect but steady insertion of collectivism creating an atmosphere in which the ideology becomes commonplace even though it is being promoted by a limited number of people. When we are young, most of us spend a great deal of time and energy working to be taken seriously. The question is, should we be taken seriously? In my view and the view of the liberty minded, it really depends on the persons actions, experience, efforts and accomplishments. Most younger people have little to no experience in life and havent had the time to accomplish much. They are still learning how to function in the world, and what kind of goals they want to pursue (if they ever pursue any goals). Because of this, it is hard for those of us who have gone through considerable struggles in life and reached a certain level of achievement to take them seriously when they decide to stroll into a room and pontificate on their moral and philosophical superiority. It makes me want to ask; what the hell have you ever accomplished? This is not to say that there are not ingenious young people out there, or ignorant and lazy older folks. There are. But collectivist movements seek to exploit younger generations exactly because of their general lack of experience and naivety, as well as their feelings of entitlement when it comes to respect. Collectivism almost always utilizes a theory called futurism in order to appeal to the young. The theory, which was a leading philosophy behind the rise of fascism, proclaims that all new ideas are superior in their social usefulness and all old ideas and beliefs should be abandoned like so much dead skin. According to futurism, those who cling to old ideas and principles are an obstacle to the progress of society as a whole. The funny thing is, the ideas usually expounded by collectivists are as old as time elitism, feudalism, totalitarianism, etc. None of these methodologies are new by any stretch of the imagination, but collectivists repackage them as if they are some grand new secret to Shangri-La. Younger adherents of collectivism latch onto futurism almost immediately. For, if all new ideas are superior, and all old ideas are barbaric, and younger people are the purveyors and consumers of everything new, then this means that it is the youngest generations that are the wisest, and the village elders that are nave. By default, the young become the village elders without them ever having to struggle, make sacrifices, learn hard lessons, suffer loss, rise to challenges, or accomplish anything. The enticing nature of this sudden groundswell of cultural respect is simply far too much for the average person college age or younger to ignore. Collectivism gives the young what they think they want, then uses them as tools for greater conquests. Collectivism requires the homogenization of society, to the point that individualism is frowned upon and success is treated as negligible. Whether it is public schools lowering standards to the point that students with little or no reading comprehension graduate, or businesses being forced to lower standards in the name of diversity while rejecting employees with superior skill sets because they do not belong to a designated victim group, or government institutions like the military lowering physical standards to accommodate far weaker candidates in the name of gender parity while putting every soldiers life at risk in the process, we are constantly being asked to accommodate the lowest common denominator instead of reaching for the highest level of excellence. This makes the concept of success a bit of a joke. For success within such a system is easy as long as one follows the rules; excelling as an individual is not a factor. And by success I mean being allowed to survive, because that is the best you are going to get in a collectivist structure. The only way to fail is to not follow the rules, rules which may be arbitrary or idiotic at their core. Individualists are immediately punished for thinking or acting outside the box, when this is exactly the kind of behavior that should be encouraged. A society built on the lowest common denominator is a society destined for collapse. Individuals are systematically weeded out in the name of homogenization and all of their potential achievements and innovations disappear with them. The nightmare of collectivism is the defining battle of our age. It is in this era that we will decide whether or not individual liberty and freedom of thought are more important than the illusory security and harmony of the collective. I, for one, long to see a future in which individual enterprise is allowed to thrive and voluntary participation is the root principle on which our culture functions; a future in which state power is reduced to zero, or near zero, and government force is no longer an acceptable means by which one group can seek to control another group. I may not see this world in my lifetime, but the liberty-minded can make it possible for newer generations by avidly defending ourselves against collectivism today. As pointed out in the beginning, collectivism and individualism cannot coexist; confrontation is inevitable. Recognizing this, and preparing for it, is our duty as free human beings.

It is they that desire the power to impose their superior ideologies on others, and since they are too weak to accomplish anything on their own, they require the cover and momentum of collectivist movements to give them the totalitarian fix they so crave. In other words, they believe in humanitarianism by totalitarianism. If ever there was coercion, brainwashing, lying, deceit and boxing people into a system that has stopped questioning the status quo its found within the religious institutions. All institutions seek to impose limitors for human consciousness! The only laws which truly apply are those which fall under the umbrella of Natural Law.

3	Now Michael Bloomberg Is Starting a $50 Million Gun Control GroupMelissa Melton Michael Bloomberg, the 13th richest man in the world with a net worth of $27 billion, has a whole lot of money and a lot more free time now that hes no longer the mayor of New York. Apparently he plans to spend some $50 million of that money forming a brand new gun control network according to AP: Putting a million gun-control supporters to the polls? So were openly admitting elections are a bought-and-paid-for affair? (See, I toldja I had at least one point.) Fifty million dollars buys a lot of propaganda. Just imagine it. Oh, and Bloombergs new group will specifically target 15 states, including Texas (good luck on that Mr. B, by the way). Bloomberg already spent at least $28 million toward his pet cause already: $14 million in federal campaign contributions to gun-control candidates including $2 million his Super PAC spent in the 2013 Democratic primary to secure his favorite candidate in a special congressional election in Chicagoeven more through his Mayors Against Illegal Guns group which spent $12 million on just their ad campaign alone. You remember itthe campaign included videos like this emotional Sandy Hook piece that included victim families: and this video dubbed Demand a Plan with all the Hollywood celebs who hypocritically make millions blowing peoples heads off on the Big Screen but will (somehow with a straight face) also opine about how guns are bad mmmkay: and thus, the ad got endlessly ridiculed by illustrating the point and throwing it back in their faces: Cant wait to see what sparkling new anti-gun propaganda the new group comes up with. By the way, speaking of hypocrites, Bloomberg has no problem spending all his free time and cash espousing how We the People need to have our 2nd Amendment right limited (or, as hed apparently prefer, nonexistent), but hes somehow perfectly justified in buying out the NYPD officers he had as bodyguards while he was mayor and giving them all six-figure salaries to continue on as his personal protection entourage: Thats right. While Bloomberg is paying top dollar to maintain no less than 17 armed bodyguards for himself, hes willing to pay an additional $50 million to try and keep you, Mr. and Mrs. America, and your families from being able to protect yourself with your own right to bear arms. He apparently missed the memo on that whole part of the Bill of Rights where it said shall not be infringed.

2	Woman Who Ran Obamacare Defects, Leaks Terrifying Next Step Of Obamas Plan According to recent reports, the woman who ran Obamacare during her tenure as the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, claimed last week that health care customers could be in for sticker shock come 2017. Ive been asked, what are the premiums going to look like? Marilyn Tavenner, who now works as a spokeswoman for insurers, said during an interview. I dont know, because it also varies by state, market, even within the markets. But I think the overall trend is going to be higher than we saw previous yearsthats my big prediction. This is not the first time weve seen this under Obamacare. Since it first launched in 2013, it has repeatedly cause premiums, co-payments and deductibles to skyrocket. This is in stark contrast to Obamas claims that the law would reduce health care costs for Americans. Instead, weve seen many Americans dropping out of the program to opt for more affordable alternatives. The problem with the exchangesis people are kind of seeing this as, I use insurance when Im sick, but I may not need it when Im no longer sick, she explained. So they tend to churn. And that churn increases premiums. So you have to kind of price over that. What do you think of these predictions?

3	Obama Regimes Hypocrisy Sets New World RecordPaul Craig Roberts Having falsely accused Russia of invading Crimea, the Obama regime now demands that Russia interfere in Crimea and prevent the referendum set for next Sunday. Unless Russia uses force to prevent the people of Crimea from exercising their right of self-determination, John Kerry declared that the Obama regime will not discuss the Ukrainian situation with Russia. So, Kerry has given Russia the green light to send in troops to prevent Crimean self-determination. What is the point of such an absurd demand on Russia? The Obama regime claims that the Crimean vote is not legal, because all of Ukraine is not voting on Crimeas future. When Washington stole Kosovo from Serbia, Washington did not allow Serbia to vote on Kosovo secession. In the upcoming Scottish vote on whether to secede from the UK, only the Scottish are voting, not the British population. But these normal processes established in international law cannot be permitted to Crimeans, because the vote will not support Washingtons agenda. Clearly, an Obama regime this shameless has no shame. The neoconservative warmongers who control the Obama regime are boasting that unless Russia prevents Crimean self-determination, Washington will use sanctions to badly damage the Russian economy. Sanctions are likely to speed up the implementation of the BRICS negotiations to leave the dollar system and settle their international accounts in their own currencies. All countries with financial and economic links to the West can be intimidated, punished, and destabilized by Washington. National sovereignty is inconsistent with being part of the US dollar system. From Washingtons standpoint, the importance of sanctions is not any economic effects. The importance is the propaganda advantage of portraying Russia as an offending party who is punished by Washington. Not only does this propaganda put Russia in the wrong, it also portrays Russia as subservient to Washington. The Crimean government is actually elected, whereas the Washington-installed government in Kiev is not. Here is a report on Global Research about the democrats who comprise the unelected government in Kiev: (Source) During the Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama regimes, Washington has established that whatever serves Washingtons agenda is legal. Laws inconsistent with Washingtons agenda are simply not applicable. They are dead letter laws. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that in violation of US law that prohibits giving financial assistance to governments whose leaders come to power via coup or other illegal means, Washington is offering its stooges in Kiev $1 billion to help the coup government get up and running.

3	Panera Bread to Dump All Artificial Food AdditivesHeather Callaghan Perhaps its favor was born out of the wholesome appearance of its food and its taste. Plus, they started out using antibiotic-free chicken. But love for Panera quickly cooled when actual food ingredients were shared wide and were anything but healthy. That may have been due to the efforts of popular blogger Food Babe who is among the many foodies who are inspiring consumers and rocking the food industry. She pointed out that Panera was not living up to its $70 million dollar ad campaign: Live Consciously. Eat Deliciously. Not with their GMOs, MSG, chemical preservatives, nitrates and more. Panera announced today a pretty radical move. To get rid of all artificial ingredients.No artificial colors, artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners or preservatives in any of its many menu items.Of course, this plan will not be complete until the end of 2016 with high-fructose-corn-syrup containing beverages being a future project. From USA Today: Among the additives that will be dumped from these Panera foods: Deli smoked turkey: potassium lactate, sodium phosphate, sodium erythorbate, sodium nitrite and sodium diacetate. He said: Millennials understand that prevention is far better than reacting to a disease. Panera also appears on another side of controversy: Shaich said he supports raising minimum wage. But their other plan for 2016 includes replacing all cashiers with robot kiosks. The growing consumer consciousness and leading creators are among the many who are picking a battle and hitting the marketplace in critical nerve points. And doing so in progressive steps towards change. It appears to be effective Paneras move follows right on the heels of Chipotles and Starbucks recent stand against GMOs and artificial ingredients (respectively).

1	With their current condition 'marginally breathtaking at best,' America's national parks will be closed this week for their exhaustive annual cleaning and remajestification, the U.S. Department of the Interior announced Monday. 'It's that time of year again when we roll up our sleeves and begin the painstaking task of resplendoring our parks,' Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said. 'After a long off-season, the foliage has grown lackluster, our mountain streams have lost their crystal clarity, and even the sparrows' songs are flat and desultory. So please excuse the noise and dust as we prepare our country's scenic wonders for their grand reopening on Memorial Day.' Each year, all 84.4 million acres of land overseen by the National Park Service are thoroughly scrubbed, tidied, and restored to a maximally picturesque summertime state. According to officials, the weeklong process includes extensive brook re-babbling, the application of new bark to some 37,000 giant redwood trees, litter removal, and the sharpening and re-snowcapping of every peak in the Rockies. In addition, some 4.7 billion stones will be polished to their original sheen, and more than 23 million species of indigenous wildlife will be washed and primped by hand. Bark-washing crews work round-the-clock so that, come reopening, the giant redwoods will really pop. At Yosemite, officials have been dispatched to reposition the necks of swans for optimal poise and grace, while rangers at the park have been instructed to 'get out there and comb those bears.' 'People don't realize how quickly the beauty and enchantment of these places gets depleted,' Walter McCoy, a ranger at Maine's Acadia National Park, said as he pulled up last year's carpet of pine needles and laid down a fresh one. 'Tourists come here, they ooh and they aah, and before you know it, all the majesty gets used up.' McCoy added that by August his crew is usually forced to discharge canisters of scented evergreen into the breeze to induce an adequate sense of calm and wonderment. The annual program began in 1947, when Congress established a $400 million fund 'for restoring the majesty of America's natural heritage so often as it becomes necessary.' Initially, expenditures were limited to sky-bluification and the regoldenizing of sunsets, but today the budget cover dozens of projects: specialized tools to sharpen moose antlers, spray tanks to enhance the mists surrounding waterfalls and the beads of moisture that appear on spiderwebs, and miniature loofahs for buffing blades of grass. Sources confirmed the U.S. government makes $30 million each year licensing its proprietary morning-dew recipe to other nations, earnings it then devotes toward modernizing the infrastructure of America's natural beauty. 'These meadows aren't going to sun-dapple themselves,' Sequoia National Park superintendent Karen Taylor-Goodrich told reporters Monday. 'Just today, I was on Moro Rock looking at the Western Divide and the resplendence factor was maybe three out of 10hardly jaw-dropping awe.' 'Keep scrubbing, and get between those crags!' Taylor-Goodrich then shouted through a megaphone at a team of rangers washing the face of Mount Whitney while suspended from helicopters. 'I want it to look like the postcard.' Regular patrons of the nation's parks said they were looking forward to the reopening, complaining that by late spring, the deteriorated grandeur makes it impossible to experience any kind of tranquility in nature. 'The grizzlies reek of hibernation, there's no fog left in the gorges, and the buffalo only roam when they absolutely need to be somewhere,' said Ken Brunswick of Jackson, WY, a restaurateur and outdoorsman. 'I sure wouldn't want to be the one to drain Old Faithful and clean the trap, but I'm glad someone is doing it.' But many citizens interviewed for this story argued that remajestification is a waste of federal tax dollars, saying they resented being 'shaken down by the IRS to polish some eagle's beak' and that wolves should 'just pick the brambles out of their own goddamn fur.' National Park Service director Jonathan Jarvis said many Americans take their country's natural beauty for granted and imagine that it is somehow self-maintaining. 'Do you have any idea how hard it is to preserve a forest canopy?' Jarvis said. 'To hang that many pinecones and dig all those holes where the roots go? Even getting the leaves to stay on is something we struggle with nearly every year.' Added Jarvis, 'The kinds of resources we need to make that happen don't just grow on trees.' 
2	Restaurant Wont Serve Trump Supporters, Youll Love The Awesome Way They Fought Back With THIS All this mother and her family wanted to do was get some burgers and milkshakes at a local restaurant. So Trump supporter Sharon Riggs and her kids went to a diner called Cook Out in Colonial Heights, Virginia and walked up to the ordering window, like youre supposed to do. Were they greeted with a friendly May I take your order? Not at all. Says Riggs: As soon as we got to the window, someone inside said Hell no! Im not serving them. Why? Because Riggs and her brood has just come from a Donald Trump rally and were all wearing Donald Trump Make America Great Again t-shirts and hats. They had to stand around outside the window until someone working at the discriminating restaurant decided to take their order. Describes Riggs of the employees inside the restaurant: Everyone was laughing and giggling. Finally they were able to place an order, but when it was time to get their order when it was done, an employee yelled at them, Oh, not for you! Says Riggs: You should not be discriminated based on who you support, whether it be Bernie, Hillary or Mr. Trump. Riggs was furious, so she promptly canceled her order. Then she took action, and called the companys corporate headquarters. Take that! Cook Out was forced to apologize through a spokesman, issuing the following message: Cook Out is, and always has been, a politically neutral company. We welcome all customers regardless of political affiliation. Regarding the refusal of service at our Colonial Heights location, the situation has been resolved and was resolved that night per Cook Out policy. 
2	BREAKING: Welfare Leeches In This State Actually Just Got The Worst News Possible According to recent reports, the state of Maine is now requiring able-bodied adults who have the ability to work to continue to do so in order to qualify for food stops. While the state has not banned programs altogether, authorities believe the policy will stop freeloaders from abusing the system. President Obama issues a waiver of the federal work requirement, citing the recession as his justification. And although democrats now claim the economy is humming along the ban has not been lifted. Thats why Republican Governor Paul LePage decided to allow the waiver for his state to expire. As a result, able-bodied adults who are between the ages of 18 and 50 and are without children must work or volunteer for 20 hours each week. If they fail to do so, their benefits will be limited to three months within a three-year period. Peopple who are in need deserve a hand up, but we should not be giving able-bodied individuals a handout. We must continue to do all that we can to eliminate generational poverty and get people back to work, LePage claimed in a statement. There is no excuse for able-bodied adults to spend a lifetime on welfare at the expense of hard-working, struggling Mainers. That is not what I call compassion. So far, only 12,000 people out of the 1.3 million living in Maine are affected by the ban. In fact, the majority of the population supported the decision. What do you think? Do you support the requirement? 
2	Resolution Passed By GOP To Finally Impeach Obama, His Career Is Over According to reports, the South Dakota Republican Party has had enough of Obama bending and breaking the law. They recently passed a resolution recommending that the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington begin the impeachment process. The measure listed the significant number of ways that Obama has violated his oath of officefocusing specifically in on his trade of five dangerous Taliban terrorists for army deserter Bowe Bergdahl. The group also sites Obamacare, and the presidents claims that Americans could keep their existing insurance. Therefore, be it resolved that the South Dakota Republican Party calls on our U.S. Representatives to initiate impeachment proceedings against the president of the United States, the resolution concludes. Obama does not have much time left in the White House, but the sooner he is out the better. Ive got a thick book on impeachable offenses of the president, Allen Unruh of Sioux Falls claims. What do you think? Do you support South Dakotas efforts? 
3	EMP Attack and Solar Storms, Part II: Cascading Failures and Nuclear MeltdownKevin Hayden (TruthIsTreason.net) In Part II of this guide, we will dive into a more technical look at what even the most minor of electrical hiccups and disturbances can do to our delicate, computerized world, as well as explore how interconnected our society truly is. However, in order to adequately set the stage for understanding the grave threat under conditions in which all of our infrastructures fall prey to simultaneous failure, it is imperative to understand that the vulnerability of the whole of all the highly interlocked critical infrastructures may be greater than the sum of the vulnerability of its parts. (1) If a singular system goes down, it can result in a cascade of failures across the spectrum, from communications, to banking, to government services, and even water treatment and sanitation. While many articles paint a bleak overall picture of a few singular failures, there are some extremely dangerous situations that are often overlooked, especially within the oil, gas, and nuclear sectors. Many of these modern marvels rely on remote systems to operate, acquire data, and perform mundane actions, which are not only grid-dependent, but highly sensitive to electrical disturbances. In particular, the 2008 Congressional EMP Commission thought it important to single out the growth and common infrastructural infiltration of one particular transformative technology; the development of automated monitoring and control systems the ubiquitous robots of the modern age known as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems.(1) SCADAs are electronic control systems that may be used for data acquisition and control over large and geographically distributed infrastructure systems. They find extensive use in critical infrastructure applications such as electrical transmission and distribution, water management, and oil and gas pipelines. SCADA technology has benefited from several decades of development. It has its genesis in the telemetry systems used by the railroad and aviation industries.(1) A broad function of a SCADA system is to remotely monitor the operational state of a physical system. It accomplishes this monitoring by providing an ongoing reporting of parameters that either characterize the systems performance, such as voltage or currents developed in an electric power plant, flow volume in a gas pipeline, and net electrical power delivered or received by a regional electrical system, or by monitoring environmental parameters such as temperature in a nuclear power plant and sending an alarm when certain operating conditions are exceeded. The supervisory control function of a SCADA reflects the ability of these devices to actively control the operation of the system by adjusting its input or output. For example, should an electrical generating plant fail through loss of a critical hardware component or industrial accident, the monitoring SCADA will detect the loss, issue an alert to the appropriate authorities, and issue commands to other generating plants under its control to increase their power output to match the desired load again. All of these actions take place automatically, within seconds, and without a human being involved in the immediate control loop. When one of these systems malfunctions, they often require a technician to physically go to some remote location and reset it, power it back on, diagnose the issue, or flip a switch. While there are entire career fields devoted to resetting these systems, there are only so many technicians in a given geographical region. As we have witnessed time and time again, both the private and public sector have had difficulty in staffing responses to natural disasters that only affect a relatively small region, such as hurricanes. So with a robust EMP attack or severe electromagnetic disturbance (EMD), there are likely not enough technicians and engineers in the entire world to handle the issue in a timely manner. If the electromagnetic disturbance impacted a large swath of the United States, it could take years before workers are able to respond to every remote terminal, let alone handle the logistics of commanding a small army of technicians having little to no communication, hampered fuel delivery systems, and a society that can barely handle one week without power, as seen during both Hurricane Sandy and Katrina. The Consequences The real dangers arise when extrapolating what will happen when oilfield pipelines fail to open and close properly, when nuclear power plants can no longer regulate their temperatures, and waste water treatment plants fail to deliver. Oil and gas refineries, compressors, pipelines, nuclear reactors, and electrical plants will cease to operate due to a multitude of cascading failures, which in turn will shut down most powered communication, as well as cause extensive physical damage. 2008 EMP Commission: To provide insight into the potential impact of these EMP-induced electronic system malfunctions, one can consider the details of historical events. In these cases, similar (and arguably less severe) system malfunctions have produced consequences in situations that are far too complex to predict beforehand using a model or analysis. Carlsbad Pipeline Incident On August 19, 2000, an explosion occurred on one of three adjacent large natural gas pipelines near Carlsbad, New Mexico, operated by the El Paso Natural Gas Company. The pipelines supply consumers and electric utilities in Arizonaand Southern California. Twelve people, including five children, died as a result of the explosion. The explosion left an 86-foot-long crater. After the pipeline failure, the Department of Transportations Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) ordered the pipeline to be shut down. The explosion happened because of failures in maintenance and loss of situational awareness, conditions that would be replicated by data acquisition disruptions caused by an EMP event. Pembroke Refinery Incident On July 24, 1994, a severe thunderstorm passed over the Pembroke refinery in the United Kingdom. Lightning strikes resulted in a 0.4 second power loss and subsequent power dips throughout the refinery. Consequently, numerouspumps and overhead fin-fan coolers tripped repeatedly, resulting in the main crude column pressure safety valves lifting and major upsets in the process units in other refinery units, including those within the fluid catalytic cracking complex (FCC). There was an explosion in the FCC unit that shook windows, doors, and damaged properties within a 10 mile radius, and was heard up to 40 miles away. The explosion was caused by flammable hydrocarbon liquid continuously being pumped into a process vessel that, because of a valve malfunction, had its outlet closed. The control valve was actually shut when the control system indicated that it was open. The malfunctioning process control system did not allow the refinery operators to contain the situation. As a result of this incident, an estimated 10 percent of the total refining capacity in the United Kingdom was lost until this complex was returned to service. The business loss is estimated at $70 million, which reflects 4.5 months of downtime. The disturbances caused by the lightning strikes power loss and degradation would also result from an EMP event. When even a handful of these critical infrastructures go down, it places other systems that might have not been afflicted into overload states in an effort to make up for the loss, which can result in further failures. Once electrical generation is down, communication is lost. Those not in the directly-impacted areas will still experience the ill effects of these failures due to so many systems being interwoven; emergency services and hospitals will only operate for a few days on back-up power and limited fuel supplies, and once the banks close their doors due to their main networks and finance hubs being hampered, the entire economy ceases to exist for all general intents and purposes. ATMs and credit would be worthless, if functional at all. (see graph here) With banking, communications, and electrical generation crippled, government services will no longer be able to issue financial assistance to those who depend on it to live, nor will central governments be able to legislate efficiently. There will be no ambulances or firetrucks after a few days. The stock market will close, cellular tower operation will cease after 48 hours on back-up batteries; and, based upon previous disasters, one can expect a large number of police, government, and military forces to abandon their posts within a few short days, if not sooner.(2) Fuel: Our Achilles Heel One of the weakest points in our fragile system will be the availability of fuel; rail, truck, airlines, maritime, back-up electrical generators, and more, will be affected. According to the American Truckers Associations report, Service station fuel supplies will start to run out in just one to two days. An average service station requires a delivery every 2.4 days. Based on these statistics, the busiest service stations could run out of fuel within hours of a truck stoppage, with the remaining stations following within one to two days. Significant [food] shortages will occur in as little as one to three days, especially for perishable items following a national emergency. Without truck transportation and fuel, healthcare will be immediately jeopardized. Many hospitals have moved to a Just-in-Time inventory system, similar to grocery stores. These systems depend on trucks to deliver needed supplies within hours of order placement. [Within a short time period], hospitals would be unable to supply critical patient care. Pharmacy stocks of prescription drugs will be depleted quickly. In regards to sanitation and waste removal, Americans will be literally buried in garbage with serious health and environmental consequences within days of a fuel shortage. Nuclear Armageddon Within our highly technical world, there are a myriad of chain reactions that most of us can not even fathom, and at the top of that list is nuclear power plants. In the United States alone, there are currently 104 nuclear reactors situated across 65 operating sites.(3) During the March 11th, 2011, earthquake that disrupted the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan, it was not the actual quake that led to the catastrophic meltdown; instead, it was the loss of their back-up power generation that was knocked out by the subsequent tsunami waves. Without power, the plant was unable to keep their containment pools effectively cooled, which arguably pose a much higher threat to safety than the actual nuclear reactor core. Containment pools store spent fuel rods, which have already been used in the reactor, but are still incredibly hot both temperature-wise, as well as their radioactive level. These rods typically spend several years in super-chilled pools of water to cool them down to levels that can be contained within concrete storage locations. Unfortunately, the worlds nuclear power plants, as they are currently designed, are critically dependent upon maintaining connection to a functioning electrical grid, for all but relatively short periods of electrical blackouts, in order to keep their reactor cores continuously cooled so as to avoid catastrophic reactor core meltdowns and spent fuel rod storage pond fires. If an extreme GMD [geomagnetic disturbance] were to cause widespread grid collapse (which it most certainly will), in as little as one or two hours after each nuclear reactor facilitys backup generators either fail to start, or run out of fuel, the reactor cores will start to melt down. After a few days without electricity to run the cooling system pumps, the water bath covering the spent fuel rods stored in spent fuel ponds will boil away, allowing the stored fuel rods to melt down and burn(4). Since the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) currently mandates that only one weeks supply of backup generator fuel needs to be stored at each reactor site, it is likely that after we witness the spectacular celestial light show from the next extreme GMD, we will have about one week in which to prepare ourselves for Armageddon. Matt Stein, author of When Technology Fails As Mr. Stein points out, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission requires only one weeks worth of fuel to be stored for each reactor site. Currently, many of the logistical points of that plan depend on interconnected systems that will all be severely decimated in a large-scale electromagnetic event. The refineries will undoubtedly suffer damages that either slow or cease normal fuel refinement procedures, which in turn have a troubling effect on not only the price of fuel, but the availability of it for the trucking industry which delivers additional fuel to the reactors. The United States of America maintains top-secret continuity plans that, without a doubt, take most of this into account. We have strategic stockpiles of fuel, medicines, and crude oil that can be handled at a moments notice by both public and private sector entities. However, with such widespread, catastrophic failures, as stated previously, there is only so much that can be done from a logistical standpoint and there is a finite supply, under the control of impaired communications. The subsequent threat of armed hijacking of fuel loads should also be taken into account. There will be certain reactors and geographic regions that will have to be written off and chalked up as a loss as national planners determine future priorities. Half-Life and What it Means For You Many are aware of the troubling level of radiation that was released during the Fukushima event; imagine that 100-fold. There are very few places immune from the deadly effects of over 100 nuclear reactors melting down, not to mention the length of time needed for radiation levels to settle down to tolerable levels. The average citizen will not be privy to these well-protected locations and will be left to fend for themselves. The reason the contamination is so long-lasting is that Cesium 137, the most dangerous isotope released in a severe accident, has a half-life of 30 years. A contaminated area one that was, say, four times above the maximum permissible post-accident radiation level for human habitation would stay above that level for nearly a human lifetime. (5) Victor Gilinsky, former member of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Can you reasonably sustain yourself, or your family, for one year while having zero contact with the outside world? Can you do this for sixty years? With a one-week notice, are you prepared to uproot your entire family and history, in order to escape heavy levels of radiation? How will you relocate while under such a National Emergency? The Executive Office has issued dozens of Executive Orders detailing the federal commandeering of all roadways, vehicles, fuel, food, and communications in the event of such an emergency. With the service stations empty, and the grocery shelves bare, how will you provide for yourself? In a social meltdown, how will you defend your loved ones for extended periods of time from not only the radiation dangers, but armed encounters or large groups of criminals? Do you even have equipment that can detect deadly levels of radiation? Electromagnetic disturbances are a very real threat, and leave many who understand the massive failures it can cause in total awe of its destructive power. There are many articles scattered across the Internet and in books that warn of catastrophic failure, and fuel shortages, or compare the event to living in the 1800s. I assure you, the threat that electromagnetic events hold far surpasses those whimsical ideas of camping in the woods, or living a happy life in the mountains, free of mainstream television and modern-day inconveniences. If such an event were to happen, it will turn the entire planet into a living nightmare.

1	According to friends and family, the automobile accident that claimed the life of area youth Evan Laskin this week tragically cut short the prospects of a talented 18-year-old who had aspired his whole life to be a living person. Those closest to him said Laskin would be remembered not only as a loving son and caring friend, but also as a gifted young man who, right up until the very end, showed tremendous promise when it came to being alive. His whole life, Evan wanted nothing more than to exist, said Bryan Dermott, a classmate and close friend of Laskin who shared his ambition to have a functioning central nervous system. Its a big part of who he was. He was always talking about consuming vital nutrients, metabolizing them, producing new cells to replace old or damaged ones, breathing. Living was the thing that was most important to him, and he was really good at it, too. He was alive practically all the time, Dermott continued. In fact, when I last talked to him, I specifically remember him being alive. Many people who knew him well confirmed Laskin lived almost every single day, sometimes for hours at a time, and said continuing his life was something he talked about constantly. Sources recalled how the high school senior would light up when the subject turned to living, but would often drift off or appear to grow distant at the mention of dying, something he never showed much interest in. Growing up in a family of living peoplehis father Maurice was an auto mechanic who lived whenever he could, while his mother Paula also took great pride in being a self-sustaining assemblage of organic moleculesLaskin reportedly displayed a proclivity and passion for existence from a very young age. Often Id wake up at six in the morning and Evan would already be downstairs moving around, thinking about things, experiencing continuous reality, and responding to external stimuli, said Paula Laskin, adding that her son had covered the walls of his bedroom with posters of living people he idolized. Even as a toddler, he talked about how much he wanted to be alive, to have functioning organs and measurable brain activity. You could tell just by being around him that Evans calling in life was to be a living human being. Laskins father told reporters he believed his boy could have grown up to be very successful at existing. I guess thats how Ill always remember himas an alive person, Laskins father said. Ill never forget when I asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up, whether it was a living person or a dead person. Well, he cut me off right there and told me he wanted to be alive. I was so very, very proud of him at that moment. I like to think that Evan was alive right up until the moment he died, he continued through tears. Thats just the kind of person he was. Students and faculty at Laskins school said they planned to honor the teens memory with a prolonged moment of life tomorrow morning. 
2	ChickA man took his daughter to get Chick-Fil-A when they encountered something incredible. This interaction between an employee and homeless man is truly inspiring. The father was nice enough to write out the entire experience, and post it to Facebook. I took Stella to Chick-fil-A today. Its our normal daddy/daughter spot. Its clean, so good, and the playground has a tractor beam on her the moment she sees it. When we finished eating and shed worked up her dessert appetite playing with the other kids, we went back to trade in her toy for ice cream. She wanted to sit at a table to eat the cone (something we usually do in the truck), and Im so glad she did. We took a booth right next to the spot where you wait for your drink to be refreshed, and we had a front row seat to this beautiful scene: a homeless traveler had walked in and asked if they had any extra food. Mud was wet and caked on his well-traveled shoes. His hair was matted, and his beard wasnt a statement as much as it was a necessity and a sign that he doesnt get to shave as often as most of us do. People near him kept their distance, but that didnt stop him from being kind. He spoke to people who reluctantly spoke back, and he smiled while he waited on a manager. All I could pick up on of the conversation was the manager saying that hed love to give him a full, warm mealnot just scraps or extras, and the only thing he required was that the man let him pray with him. After the homeless man agreed, there was no waiting for things to die down, there was no scooting anyone to the side. As busy as they were, the manager stopped then and there, laid his hand on the man, and proceeded to pray. I heard love in that prayer. I asked Stella to watch and she stared. She asked what was happening and when I told her, she bowed her head, too. I realized then and there that Chick-fil-A doesnt simply do business for profits, they truly use business to minister. In a time when companies are trying to win in the market by neutralizing any possibility of offense, CFA is thriving because they unwaveringly cling to their principles and purpose. I love teaching my daughter life lessons, and I also love being there to watch other Christians teach her life lessons. Thank you, Chick-fil-A, for taking care of the latter today. Chick-Fil-A is an awesome restaurant, for so many reasons. That is why we will be customers for life. Do you support Chick Fil A? 
3	UK Sends 5 Million to Listed Terrorists in SyriaUS-UK listed terror organization Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) fighters and commanders are clearly amongst militants underwritten by latest UK funding. In direct violation of both American and British anti-terrorism legislation, particularly provisions regarding providing material support for listed or proscribed terrorist organizations, the United Kingdom has just announced that it will provide armed militants that include listed terror organizations with a 5 million tranche of what it calls non-lethal practical assistance. Image: Little else could accentuate the hypocrisy and unhinged madness of US and British foreign policy more than Foreign Secretary William Hague announcing his governments decision to fund genocidal sectarian extremists murdering under the flag of Al Qaeda in Syria. Both British and American journalists have clearly identified and documented the presence of foreign fighters with militant extremist ties pouring over the Turkish-Syrian border, most recently in an attempt to overrun the northern Syrian city of Aleppo. CNN, whose Ivan Watson accompanied FSA terrorists over the Turkish-Syrian border and into Aleppo revealed that indeed foreign fighters were amongst the militants. Meanwhile, residents of the village where the Syrian Falcons were headquartered said there were fighters of several North African nationalities also serving with the brigades ranks. A volunteer Libyan fighter has also told CNN he intends to travel from Turkey to Syria within days to add a platoon of Libyan fighters to armed movement. CNN also added: On Wednesday, CNNs crew met a Libyan fighter who had crossed into Syria from Turkey with four other Libyans. The fighter wore full camouflage and was carrying a Kalashnikov rifle. He said more Libyan fighters were on the way. The foreign fighters, some of them are clearly drawn because they see this as a jihad. So this is a magnet for jihadists who see this as a fight for Sunni Muslims. Foreign Policy magazine in an article titled, The Syrian Rebels Libyan Weapon, has gone as far as writing a two-page profile on Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) commander Mahdi al-Harati and his role in leading the so-called Free Syrian Army. Also recently, the Council on Foreign Relations, a premier Fortune 500-funded US think-tank, wrote in their article, Al-Qaedas Specter in Syria, that: The Syrian rebels would be immeasurably weaker today without al-Qaeda in their ranks. By and large, Free Syrian Army (FSA) battalions are tired, divided, chaotic, and ineffective. Feeling abandoned by the West, rebel forces are increasingly demoralized as they square off with the Assad regimes superior weaponry and professional army. Al-Qaeda fighters, however, may help improve morale. The influx of jihadis brings discipline, religious fervor, battle experience from Iraq, funding from Sunni sympathizers in the Gulf, and most importantly, deadly results. In short, the FSA needs al-Qaeda now. Clearly then, British aid is being sent to the FSA whose ranks are admittedly filled by Al Qaeda. Also, to be clear, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) is in fact an affiliate of Al Qaeda with its commanders having occupied the highest echelons of Al Qaedas command structure and having participated in every combat engagement Al Qaeda has conducted since its inception via US-Saudi cash and arms in the mountains of Afghanistan in the 1980s. This was documented meticulously in the US Armys West Point Combating Terrorism Center report, Al-Qaidas Foreign Fighters in Iraq. LIFG is also listed by both the US State Department and the UK Home Office (page 5, .pdf) as a foreign terrorist organization and a proscribed terrorist organization respectively. Foreign Policys admission of al-Haratis role in organizing and leading the FSA in Syria, and the inclusion of Libyan terrorists in his brigade are by no means the only role LIFG is playing in the Syrian violence. LIFG commander Abdul Hakim Belhaj had visited the Turkish-Syrian border in late 2011 pledging Libyan arms, cash, and fighters to the FSA with the nation of Libya itself having already become a NATO-created terrorist safe-haven. It is clear that LIFG, and by implication Al Qaeda, is playing a significant role in the violence in Syria, not only undermining the narrative of the unrest being an indigenous pro-democracy uprising, but also implicating foreign nations who are funding and arming militants as state sponsors of terrorism. Included amongst these state sponsors of international terrorism are Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the Hariri faction in northern Lebanon, as well as the NATO-installed government of Libya. This also includes both the United States, who is admittedly providing cash and equipment for the FSA as well as coordinating efforts to arm militants, and now the UK once again with their latest announcement. With an increasing number of overt atrocities being carried out by the FSA and its ranks of extremist sectarian militants, including kidnappings, abuses, and massacres observed recently in Aleppo, it is unconscionable for the West to even rhetorically back what is clearly a sectarian-driven conflict, let alone provide equipment, cash, and arms. However, British Foreign Secretary William Hague calls it, the right thing to do. Image: The Western media is covering or more accurately, spinning an unfolding sectarian genocide in Syrias largest city Aleppo. In the alleys of seized streets, FSA terrorists are detaining, torturing, and killing anyone suspected of supporting the government. Such suspicions coincidentally run along sectarian divisions. By using the label Shabiha for all of FSAs victims, the Western press has given a carte blanche to genocidal sectarian extremists and by doing so, has become complicit in war crimes themselves. For the British, or any other nation for that matter, to provide the FSA with even rhetorical, let alone material support, is an egregious act of international terrorism. The brazen illegitimacy of NATOs actions against Libya surely played a role in hobbling, perhaps permanently, the contrived geopolitical ploy of Responsibility to Protect (R2P) while simultaneously undermining the primacy of international law. The protracted difficulty of the West to repeat their success in Syria can be perhaps owed in part to the unhinged policy and agenda pursued and exposed in Libya.

3	Russia Warns Of Permanent War As Turkey, Saudi Arabia Set To Invade SyriaBy Brandon Turbeville Such a possibility is exactly what Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev warned about in an interview with German newspaper, Handelsblatt. When asked about the recent announcement by Saudi Arabia that the feudal monarchy is considering sending ground troops to Syria, Medvedev responded that the Americans and our Arab partners must consider whether or not they want a permanent war. Medvedev stated that such an operation draws everyone taking part in it into a war. Yet that has not stopped the Saudis or the Turks from preparations for an invasion of Syria or from becoming increasingly aggressive in the meantime. For one, Saudi Arabia has sent jets to Turkeys Incirlik Airbase, where NATO planes are already stationed. Mevlut Cavusoglu, Turkish Foreign Minister, stated on February 13 that the jets would be deployed at Incirlik and that Saudi Arabia and Turkey would be engaging in ground operations in Syria under the guise of fighting ISIS. As Hurriyet Daily News reported, This is not an issue for Turkey or Saudi Arabia alone, we have been saying that the coalition should be doing this, avuolu said when asked about reports of a possible ground operation against ISIL by Turkey and Saudi Arabia in Syria. But there is no solid decision on this yet, no concrete strategy. This is not a new idea, but as of today there is no final decision regarding a ground operation, he added. Riyadh and Ankara are both opposed to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, whose foreign minister last week warned that any ground intervention would amount to aggression that must be resisted. Al-Assiri said the decision to deploy an unspecified number of jets to Turkey followed a meeting in Brussels of U.S.-led anti-ISIL coalition members, who decided step up their fight against jihadists in Syria and Iraq. He stressed that Saudi Arabia made its decision in coordination with the coalition and a ground operation was being planned. There is a consensus among coalition forces on the need for ground operations and the Kingdom is committed to that, al-Assiri said. Military experts will meet in the coming days to finalize the details, the task force and the role to be played by each country, he added. Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir also told reporters on Feb. 14 that his country was ready to send special forces to Syria to take part in ground operations against ISIL, without giving further details. In addition to the obvious preparation for an invasion of Syria, Turkey has repeatedly shelled Syrian forces, Kurdish fighters, and civilians across the border in the last week. For instance, Turkey has shelled the Kurdish held airbase of Minnigh in Aleppo as well as Kurdish-controlled positions all across Northern Syria. The Independent reported that Shelling was reported at Menagh air base, a former Syrian Air Force facility that Kurds seized from Islamist rebels just days ago, and at three other positions between the airport and Turkish border. The air base has been a key target for several parties in the Syrian civil war since 2012, being besieged by rebels for almost a year until it was seized by a coalition including an early form of Isis and the al-Qaeda-linked Jabhat al-Nusra in August 2013 [and] it remained in rebel hands until Thursday, when Kurdish PYD fighters capitalised on the diversion caused by Bashar al-Assads forces and Russian air strikes attacking rebel areas to the south to seize Menagh. Predictably, Turkish Prime Minister Davutoglu claims the shelling was in accordance with rules of engagement. Turkey has also shelled SDF positions in the city of Azaz, a city that represents the western border of the main ISIS supply route known as the Jarablus corridor, illustrating the growing complexity and multi-layered nature of the crisis in Syria since the SDF is partially supported by the United States. Turkey has repeatedly warned Kurdish forces against attempting to seize the Jarablus corridor, fearing an attempt at the creation of a Kurdish state on its southern border and the eventual inflammation of tensions with Turkish Kurds as well as a desire to keep a vital artery open to ISIS so that the terrorist organization may continue to enter and be resupplied in Syria. Russias warning, however, remains looming in the background. Clearly, it is a warning that must be taken seriously.

Please contact activistpost (at) gmail.com. So many bullets too little time. Sounds like the all seeing eye crowd has got there perpetual death machine rolling ever onward. Im sure they like the theater. Blow back to the perps. The Sauds and Turks are biting off more than they can chew especially if they expect US support for a protracted war. Trump is correct to let the Russians once again, feel the impact of their presence in Afghanistan on the larger stage in the multinational Middle-East conflict. Let Putin deal with flag draped caskets and the same crushing bankruptcy they experienced a few decades ago. AND, Putin will sooner or later be printing Rubles to lend to the EU or its constituent states to buy his oil. Your comment is incoherent. Is this for blue579 or Nimbii? You OK, can you explain? Seems a lot like double speak. blue579 or Nimbii? That was a reply to you. Your initial comment stated that Turkey and Saudi have conditional support from the US when the US is one of the chief instigators of the conflict. Then the lightly veiled jab at Russia for spending a fortune in blood and gold as if the US has not already done those very things and again the US was the chief instigator of Afghanistan part deux and Iraq and the list continues. I implied our own dismal history but should have been more clear. True the US is a chief instigator. My point is if the Russians want to return to what they know was their own dismal history in Afghanistan let them do it. Say what you want about the Gulf War at least Bush 41 was smart enough not to go into Iraq. Ok maybe you and I are reading from different sources but there was a reason why baby Bush did go into Iraq. Daddy Bush was called in based on lies created by the Saudi and Kuwaiti vassel states not to mention the US MIC; however the US was certainly more than willing and immensely complicit in the propaganda. That created the vacuum that made the next load of BS (WMDs) such a shining success which baby Bush used to take over several countries in the MENA area. Also that foray for Russia in Afghanistan was all created and sustained by the US gov. Ever hear of something called the Mujahideen? Thats the group that was later named Al Qaida and more recently its known as ISIL. I would recommend reading up on those items in more detail because your comments are not in line with the facts and reality. The global elite international banksters LOVE the 2-D chess games, the circus action keeps the spotlight off their criminal actions behind the curtain. Gotta watch what the Turk, Saud, American, and Russian, et al, pathocrats are doing to finish building out their global governance prison planet. The permanent war is the Global War on Terror, not unlike the War on Drugs and the War on Cancer TPTB make certain endless amounts of resources are fleeced and wasted in these wars and never won to keep their serfs disempowered, in perpetual servitude. Russian elites understand such endless wars on terror and Extremism, having pulled off their own series of horrific false flag attacks in 1999, completely obliterating huge apartment complexes until their own FSB agents were caught in the act by residents of one building. The Russian govt is currently prosecuting Jehovah Witnesses for practicing an authorized religion (while Islam, Hinduism, etc are fine) in its new front to combat Extremism. Thats the real global endless war directed at thought criminals who will not conform and assimilate Borg-style to the NWO. The terrorists have been running all over Syria for the past five years because the US has been supporting them with guns and money! This is about the military industrial complex seeing payoff for its investments in the bush, clinton, bush and obama regimes. RUSSIA REALIZES WHAT EVERY NATION SHOULD. CARTHAGE MUST BE DESTROYED The west should not support the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria, nor should it have supported it in Egypt or Libya. Its just another bloody dictatorship. If anything the west should starve these savages to death through blockades, rather than importing them by the millions where they rape and terrorize people into submission under the boot of a New Fascist Empire in the west. 
1	An international team of scientists conducting research in the Amazon River Basin announced the discovery of a formerly unknown primate species inhabiting a remote jungle area roughly 300 miles from Manaus Monday. According to scientists in Manaus, the new species, Ateles saporis, is 'an amazing biological find' and 'incredibly delectable.' A member of <I>Ateles saporis, </I>which scientists say tastes excellent broiled (below). 'We couldn't be more thrilled!' German researcher Dr. Jerome Keller told reporters Tuesday. 'Very few scientists are lucky enough to discover a new species, let alone a mammal with a palatability on par with a tender, juicy steak.' 'This is a seriously tasty creature,' Keller added. Although the creature resembles a large kitten, as a member of the Ateles genus, it is more closely related to wooly and spider monkeys. Ateles saporis, informally known as the delicacy ape, is a tree-dwelling herbivore that can measure up to a meter from head to tail. The adult delicacy ape weighs between 35 and 40 pounds and tastes wonderful with a currant glaze. Keller said the new species boasts a gular sac, a distinctive trait that separates it from other species in the Ateles genus. 'The gular sac is a throat pouch that can be inflated, allowing the animal to make loud calls that resonate through the treetops,' Keller said. 'More importantly, the pouch can be stuffed with nuts or dried fruits prior to roasting.' Biologist Jeanette Bransky, who served as the research team's chief archivist, presented a series of slides showing delicacy apes cavorting in trees, caring for their young, and sitting thinly sliced on a platter next to roasted red potatoes. 'After careful study, we have determined that Ateles saporis is a very insulated species,' Bransky said. 'All of their food needs are met in the treetops. They're docile, affectionate creatures with a non-competitive social structure. They often sit grooming each other for hours on end, which explains why their meat is so marbled and tender.' This marks the first primate species discovered since the nearly inedible Arunachal macaque was found in India last year. 'In our studies of the delicacy ape, we have noted several traits, such as play activities, that are almost human,' Bransky said. 'However, the similarities do not run much deeper than that. Take the loin, for example. Unlike a human's, it's so savory and delicate that it can be eaten just like sashimi.' 'Raw or cooked, this species is one of the greatest discoveries of the 21st century,' added Bransky, licking her lips. The team plans to research the species for another two months and then publish its findings in both the International Journal Of Primatology and Bon Apptit. 'We still need to complete an accurate population-density study,' Keller said. 'We assume that their habitat is limited to the Amazon and that their total number is very small. We need to gather data quickly, as the species is almost certainly facing extinction. I mean, it's that good.' Keller said the discovery of the delicacy ape underscores the importance of protecting delicate ecosystems from mass deforestation. 'The Amazon River Basin boasts the greatest biodiversity in the world, with countless potentially tasty species waiting to be discovered,' Keller said. 'As for the delicacy ape, I only hope there's something we can do to preserve it. Maybe we can get them to breed in captivity. Generations to come should have the opportunity to enjoy the taste of this majestic creature.'

For those who have been patiently waiting to find out when the exciting war for the Iron Throne will be coming back, the wait is overwe will not be airing a brand-new episode of the show on Sunday, said HBOs president of programming Michael Lombardo, confirming that, if viewers turn on their television Sunday night and tune it to HBO, the popular adaptation of George R.R. Martins A Song Of Ice And Fire fantasy novels would not be on. I would also like to announce that the thrilling new season premiere of Game Of Thrones will not be on next weekend either. Or the weekend after that. Goodbye. Lombardo did confirm, however, that the award-winning series The Newsroom would be returning this Sunday with three new episodes.

2	Faith Hill Risks Her Entire Career To Defy Obama, Shes In Trouble [VIDEO] Youd better be thick skinned or top-notch talent if you decide to be a conservative in liberal Hollywood. Many an actor or singer has seen their career take a hit for speaking out against the liberal tide. Recently, country star Faith Hill became one of the rare few to speak out against Obama. The singer was attending the UNICEF Audrey Hepburn Society Ball, which was honoring Barbara Bush. Hill was seen taking pictures with the former First Lady. Hill reportedly accepted the invitation because of her love of icon Audrey Hepburn. I first learned of Audrey Hepburn when I was a young teen from her work with children, Hill told reporters. I remember watching a television segment on her life and her work around the globe that ran before cartoons in the morning. I didnt even know that she was an actor. Audrey had such a grace about her, both on and off camera. What do you think? Do you support Hill standing up for her beliefs despite the backlash she is likely to receive for it? 
1	The continued efforts of lawmakers to overhaul the nations immigration system gained considerable momentum Wednesday when House Speaker John Boehner announced that he would allow House Republicans to vote on a bipartisan reform plan that offers citizenship to immigrants who can play the piano so damned good that it just makes everyone cry. The House fully supports a broad immigration bill that includes a path to citizenship to immigrants who can sit down at a shiny Steinway piano, close their eyes, and move audiences to tears with a haunting solo piano performance that makes you well up with emotion and say, Wow, this guy can really play, Boehner said before a joint session of Congress, pledging support for a Senate-backed bill that would grant citizenship to young Asian children, Eastern European men, and other potential immigrants who can play the shit out of a piano to the point where all you can do is sit there with your jaw open because the whole thing is just so touching and evocative. Even if said individual is undocumented and entered onto U.S. soil illegally, we are more than willing to grant said individual legal status should they play a stirring piano rendition of either Pachelbels Canon, Beethovens Moonlight Sonata, or possibly the theme from Schindlers List with great poise, stunning technique, and an almost unbearable sense of poignancy. At press time, leadership in both parties had expressed support for further proposals to grant permanent citizenship to any immigrant who can make those steamed pork bun things that are so good you cant stop eating them. 
1	DETROITWith gas prices approaching $2 per gallon in some areas and gridlock on the rise, Detroit's three major automakers are stepping up development of their newest brainchild: the anger-powered car. The Chevrolet Tantrum, one of the new road-rage-fueled vehicles. 'By drawing a significant percentage of its motive power from the unbridled temper of the American motorist, the new anger-powered car will change, or at least take mechanical advantage of, the way Americans drive,' General Motors vice-chairman Robert A. Lutz said. 'We plan to have these furiously efficient machines careening down America's highways, byways, and sidewalks within two years.' Lutz said automakers have been researching fury fuels since the mid-1970s. As early as 1984, they began to look for ways to take advantage of the limitless supply of bad temper generated daily by American driversoutrage currently vented wastefully into dashboards, steering wheels, and passengers. An engine burning clean, white-hot hatred will release few harmful byproducts into the atmospherebad; vibes and a small amount of water vapor will combine to be released in the form of human spittle. In addition, anger technology will turn the standard fuel-economy paradigm on its head: An anger-powered engine is actually more efficient in heavy urban traffic. 'The theory behind the anger-powered engine is actually quite simple,' said Keith Cameron, chief engineer on General Motors' Project Instigator until January. 'The average motorist traveling a clogged American highway produces hundreds of kilowatt-hours of negative energy per infuriating drive. The Instigator motor converts this emotional energy into kinetic energy by a process most driverspeople too goddamn stupid to use their goddamn blinkers when they change goddamn laneswill never be able to understand. Just trust me, dumbasses, it works.' Cameron, who is currently serving a seven-year prison sentence for vehicular manslaughter and high-efficiency battery, added, 'In the white-knuckled hands of the average American driver, it's an extremely powerful tool.' GM is currently developing two anger-powered cars, the entry-level Chevrolet Tantrum coupe and the larger, pricier Buick Umbrage. Ford has announced a multi-tiered move toward anger power, with plans to introduce anger/gasoline hybrid engines in the popular Lincoln Frown Car in 2006, to offer a de Sade option for its classic Mercury Gran Marquis in 2007, and to unveil a line of Acrimony family-sized cars and wagons in 2008. Daimler-Chrysler will resurrect the defunct Plymouth brand name with the reintroduction of the Plymouth Fury. Anger power was first explored by Daimler-Chrysler, whose concept car, the Plymouth Violent, caused an uproar upon its introduction at the 1989 Detroit Auto Show. The Violent, more a seething showcase of technology and rage than a workable production car, achieved a remarkable 89 miles per gallon and hospitalized 19 auto-show attendees. The anger-powered car will be aimed solidly at the middle of the market. Options such as semi-tinted glower windows, auto-locking brakes, and a baffling array of randomly blinking warning lights will be standard on all models. 'Production models will have angry-punch-absorbing energy-conversion pads in the dashboards, steering wheels, and driver-side doors,' Chrysler Group chief executive Dieter Zetsche said. 'Sound-sensitive materials in the cars' interiors will convert livid outbursts into motive power. And, because an angry driver is, in this case, a better driver, literally hundreds of anger- and performance-enhancing options will be available, including loud, ineffective mufflers, talk-station-only radios, truly intermittent wipers, steering wheels which imperceptibly tilt forward over the course of an hour, and excruciatingly well-heated seats.' Early consumer tests of the cars indicate that they perform beyond designers' expectations. The automotive press has been particularly enthusiastic about anger power. 'This bitch's bastard's whore went like a goddamn raped ape with me at the wheel,' said Car And Driver's Brock Yates, who test-drove Daimler-Chrysler's Dodge Rammit pickup. 'The vitriolic-assist brakes barely worked, the rear-view mirror found my bald spot every time, and the voice-response OnStar system mocked me for writing the script for Cannonball Run. I was getting 107 miles to the gallon when I T-boned that bus.' Car manufacturers have yet to determine a price for the rage-fueled vehicles. 'We have a delicate balance to strike,' Ford Motor Company president Nick Scheele said. 'The middle-income customer should be able to afford the car, but in order to increase engine efficiency, the price should be high enough to eat away at him the entire time he's driving. We're considering wildly fluctuating interest rates or a monthly payment rate that's pegged to the basketball standings.' Added Scheele: 'I can assure you that there will be a model priced so that middle-class Americans who spend hours each week commuting between mid-level office jobs in the city and noisy, demanding families in the suburbs can afford it.' Fully anger-powered cars are expected to begin hitting American showrooms and other cars in summer 2006. If successful, the venture may vindicate the auto engineers still smarting over their brief and disastrous flirtation with love-and-happiness power, a trend that failed commercially and eventually petered out during the positive-energy crisis of the 1970s. 
1	Saying that it is the perfect way to further increase the sports popularity, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced Monday that the league will soon begin holding a regular-season game deep within the Earths inner core. This game represents an opportunity to bring the great sport of football over 3,000 miles below Earths crust, said Goodell, adding that the primetime event in the planets 10,800-degree, nickel-iron core will be scheduled as a regular-season matchup between two non-divisional opponents. The league still has so much growth potential throughout the various interior layers of Earth, and a thrilling spectacle of world-class football will only continue to strengthen the NFL brand. And based on the research and various seismological studies that weve conducted over the past several years, were incredibly confident that the inner-core games will be a huge success. At press time, sources confirmed that advance tickets for the forthcoming subterranean event have already sold out. 
2	Trey Gowdy Announces He Is Endorsing Rubio Just last week presidential hopeful Donald Trump announced that if he is elected to the White House, he would elect Trey Gowdy as Attorney General. Now, Trey Gowdy has just announced his endorsement for presidentand its not who you might think. According to reports from Townhall, rumors have just been confirmed that Rep. Trey Gowdywidely admired as a principled fighter among many grassroots conservativeswill join Sen. Marco Rubio on the campaign trail in Iowa next week. Marco is a rock solid conservative and a strong leader we can trust, Gowdy claimed in a statement. I look forward to campaigning in Iowa with him, and introducing my good friend to voters across state. It will be interesting to see Trumps reaction to this. What do you think? Are you surprised that Cruz is supporting Rubio? Could this be the beginning of a partnership between the two conservatives? 
2	Unexpected Person From Obamas Past Just Spoke Out And Exposed Obama For What He Really Is Throughout his presidency, Barack Obama has often cited his experience as a professor at the University of Chicago Law School to help build his credibility. Now, his former colleagues have come forward to tell us what they really think of our president. Professors hated him because he was lazy, unqualified, never attended any of the faculty meetings, the highest tenured professor at Chicago law told reporters. He went on to claim that Obama was not even considered when he applied for the position as an adjunct professor, but was given a temporary position after the school got a phone call from the Board of Trustees. The source also told reporters that it was very clear that Obama was using the position as a political stepping tool. What do you think? Do all of these qualities sound familiar? Were not surprised that Obama lied to beef up his resume, do you?

3	Debauchery and Hypocrisy to Take Center Stage at DNCBrandon Turbeville Of course, while the average person who lives, works, and produces in the general area is subjected to, at best, a major inconvenience of their daily routine and, at worst, a gross violation of their Constitutional rights under a police state crackdown, many of the more upscale attendees of the DNC will enjoy what amounts to royal immunity as they skirt about town and partake of some of the finest women (or men) and drugs that money can buy. The difference between the 2012 DNC and all the others, however, is the openness in which both the revelry and police state will take place.For instance, even the local Charlotte media is openly publishing articles about the annual powder party known as the DNC. A local publication, Creative Loafing, actually published an article by Christina Wilkie and Ryan Pitkin, entitled Dirty Politics: Charlottes underground hungrily awaits the DNC, where the authors interviewed individuals ranging from small time drug dealers to police and club owners. What they reported was that virtually all of the Charlotte underworld was eagerly awaiting the coming convention in hopes that bulk sales and wealthy partiers will provide easy and plentiful money during the three days of the event. The article continues by saying, Yet, as the Wilkie and Pitkin article states, For some conventioneers, it isnt what theyll be bringing back to their private parties its who. According to Charity Magnuson, the operator of the nonprofit organization NC Stop Human Trafficking, There will be women for sale and most of them will have been trafficked one way or another. However, with all the incoming money set aside for purchasing illegal drugs, the article claims that the word on the street is that drugs entering the Charlotte area have dried up in recent weeks. Of course, one should keep in mind that the drugs referred to in this article are those being distributed by small or, at best, mid-level dealers. One should not assume that because the average Charlotte junkie is having a harder time finding the drug of his choice, that high-level Democrats, bankers, and other government officials will encounter such trouble. Nor will the worker bees of the political system have any difficulty in locating the highest quality prostitutes and an abundance of their favorite substances. They never had such trouble before, and they are not likely to do so now. The real issue regarding this information, however, is not drug use. Nor is it even the fact that the drug use by the DNC participants has become so open that local publications no longer have fear of retribution for publishing it. The issue is that the individuals enjoying the finest drugs and prostitutes that Charlotte (and other areas of the world) has to offer are some of the biggest proponents of arresting and jailing any and everyone else in the city for engaging in the same behavior. In other words, the Charlotte DNC is one more example of how some people are more free than others. Ironically, one is still labeled as a conspiracy theorist for saying that there is such a thing as a ruling class. Interestingly enough, although the Charlotte underground expects an uptick next week, parts of the underclass will be receiving a bit of a renovation. Sources on the ground in Charlotte, who are in contact with this writer, have reported that the homeless of Charlotte are themselves experiencing a crackdown. From police tape surrounding most of the bus stop benches where the homeless usually sleep to general police harassment, the homeless are being systematically removed from the view of the DNC participants. Even the homeless shelters themselves are being emptied. Sources have reported to this writer that individuals currently residing in the Charlotte homeless shelters are being bussed all the way to Statesville, North Carolina for the duration of the DNC. As warnings to tourists and other visitors to Charlotte, advertisements have been posted all over town discouraging them from giving to the homeless or otherwise needy members of the population. According to my source on the ground, the posters read something to the effect of (but not a direct quote): True change doesnt come from giving money out of your pocket. Please dont give money to panhandlers. Yet, while the city has taken great pains to hide certain segments of Charlotte society, the money districts where the DNC will take place are also seeing new additions like rickshaws added to the entertainment value for those who are able to afford it. In the face of all this, however, the Charlotte papers still claim that Charlotte wont hide the homeless during the DNC. Indeed, this phrase has been repeated all over the Charlotte media and was even the title piece of an article written by Mark Price of the Charlotte Observer (August 21, 2012). It should be noted, however, that within the first three paragraphs, the author admits that the homeless will be displaced from their shelter during the convention. According to individuals on the ground, the Charlotte police presence has virtually tripled in the last few days and continues to increase as the DNC approaches. Most of the police presence seems to be in the daytime, most likely as an attempt to increase visibility and set the tone of the coming days during the convention. It is well known that thousands of security forces will be shipped in to bust the heads of protesters and other American citizens still foolishly under the false impressions that they actually have rights. In addition, police have been parking patrol cars all over Charlotte and leaving them empty and unattended. This is likely an attempt to further establish high visibility in the days leading up to the DNC. However, these same police have also tripled their on-foot, bicycle, and Segway patrols. More importantly, however, police have been engaging in warrantless searches of citizens ever since the security level increase surrounding the DNC began. Anyone who looks intoxicated, suspicious, or who is carrying bags or backpacks is likely to be stopped, searched, and questioned illegally. Of course, as is typical of police, the searches are usually conducted with the requisite rudeness. Also, as one might suspect, the homeless have been particularly targeted in this regard as has anyone that even remotely looks like a potential protester. Police have apparently been given either carte blanche or, worse, a directive to make arrests wherever possible during the DNC. For instance, when one police officer was asked what would constitute grounds for arrest during the convention, he responded directly that it would be, Any annoyance. This is particularly concerning since, according to a report by RT, an arrestible annoyance consists of carrying water bottles, socks, markers, and other seemingly unthreatening items. Indeed, the city of Charlotte has now passed a city rule for extraordinary events which bans the possessions of handbags, backpacks, soda cans, drink coolers, scarves, bike helmets, baby strollers, and non-service animals. At this point, it seems we should expect a large number of arrests. Of course, the number of arrests hinges largely on the number of protesters in attendance. Yet, even after four years of intensifying warfare, environmental degradation, and a worsening economy, it seems less likely that the 2012 DNC will see a record-breaking attendance of protesters. Regardless, we will continue to monitor the events surrounding the DNC and will continue to report any significant developments.

Now, Rahims family is reportedly having a difficult time finding a venue for the funeral. They have been repeatedly turned down at funeral homes, and a local cemetery refused to take his body for burial. According to reports, Rahim had plans to kill Pamela Geller, but what intercepted by authorities first. What do you think? Do you support these funeral homes? 
3	West Re-Arms Nusra - Mainstream Media Continues CoverupBrandon Turbeville The mainstream coverup artists known as the media in the Western world have thus done their part to obfuscate the Western arming, training, and directing of the death squads currently assaulting the Syrian people. Carefully crafted narratives, half truths, and outright lies have been provided in order to prevent the American people from coming to the realization that it is their own government that is arming the very terrorists it claims Americans must sacrifice their rights to be protected against. One such narrative is that of the battles currently taking place between different factions of NATOs terrorists the so-called moderate rebels vs the extremists that has resulted in the re-arming and reinforcement of ISIS, Nusra, and other al-Qaeda terrorists. This is the narrative that was presented by the Washington Post in its article U.S.-backed Syria rebels routed by fighters linked to al-Qaeda, where the news agency attempts to paint a picture of embattled moderates fighting both a brutal dictator and heavily armed fanatics. According to the Washington Post, these embattled moderates, who have been openly armed by the West, were simply overwhelmed by the forces of Al-Nusra, who not only defeated the hapless rebels, but made off with a fresh new stash of weaponry. The Washington Post reports, The Obama administrations Syria strategy suffered a major setback Sunday after fighters linked to al-Qaeda routed U.S.-backed rebels from their main northern strongholds, capturing significant quantities of weaponry, triggering widespread defections and ending hopes that Washington will readily find Syrian partners in its war against the Islamic State. Moderate rebels who had been armed and trained by the United States either surrendered or defected to the extremists as the Jabhat al-Nusra group, affiliated with al-Qaeda, swept through the towns and villages the moderates controlled in the northern province of Idlib, in what appeared to be a concerted push to vanquish the moderate Free Syrian Army, according to rebel commanders, activists and analysts. Other moderate fighters were on the run, headed for the Turkish border as the extremists closed in, heralding a significant defeat for the rebel forces Washington had been counting on as a bulwark against the Islamic State. Of course, some points must be made in regards to the presentation provided by the Washington Post. As I have demonstrated on a number of occasions, there is no such thing as a moderate opposition in Syria. Even other more astute members of the mainstream media such as Ben Hubbard of the New York Times stated as much in his own article in April, 2013 when he stated, In Syrias largest city, Aleppo, rebels aligned with Al Qaeda control the power plant, run the bakeries and head a court that applies Islamic law. Elsewhere, they have seized government oil fields, put employees back to work and now profit from the crude they produce. Across Syria, rebel-held areas are dotted with Islamic courts staffed by lawyers and clerics, and by fighting brigades led by extremists. Even the Supreme Military Council, the umbrella rebel organization whose formation the West had hoped would sideline radical groups, is stocked with commanders who want to infuse Islamic law into a future Syrian government. Nowhere in rebel-controlled Syria is there a secular fighting force to speak of. [emphasis added] In reality, the so-called opposition in Syria is anything but moderate. As Tony Cartalucci wrote in his article, In Syria, There Are No Moderates, there were never, nor are there any moderates operating in Syria. The West has intentionally armed and funded Al Qaeda and other sectarian extremists since as early as 2007 in preparation for an engineered sectarian bloodbath serving US-Saudi-Israeli interests. This latest bid to portray the terrorists operating along and within Syrias borders as divided along extremists/moderate lines is a ploy to justify the continued flow of Western cash and arms into Syria to perpetuate the conflict, as well as create conditions along Syrias borders with which Western partners, Israel, Jordan, and Turkey, can justify direct military intervention. Even one of the FSA commanders, Bassel Idriss, recently admitted to openly collaborating with ISIS and al-Nusra, revealing yet another example of the fact that the moderate rebels are not moderate at all. In an interview with the Daily Star of Lebanon, Idriss stated We are collaborating with the Islamic State and the Nusra Front by attacking the Syrian Armys gatherings in . . . Qalamoun . . . . Lets face it: The Nusra Front is the biggest power present right now in Qalamoun and we as FSA would collaborate on any mission they launch as long as it coincides with our values. Idriss also admitted that many FSA fighters had pledged allegiance to ISIS. He said, [ISIS] wanted to enhance its presence in the Western Qalamoun area. After the fall of Yabroud and the FSAs retreat into the hills [around Arsal], many units pledged allegiance [to ISIS]. Abu Fidaa, a retired Syrian Army Colonel who is now a part of the Revolutionary Council in the Qalamoun, corroborated Idrisss statements by saying that A very large number of FSA members [in Arsal] have joined ISIS and Nusra. In the end, people want to eat, they want to live, and the Islamic State has everything. Not only the FSA, but also the Syrian Revolutionary Front has also openly admitted to working with Nusra and al-Qaeda. The leader of the SRF, Jamaal Maarouf admitted that his brigades coordinate with Nusra and al-Qaeda regularly. It should be remembered that the FSA is nothing more than an umbrella organization for a number of fundamentalist brigades fighting against the secular government of Bashar al-Assad which the West would like to present as moderate freedom fighters. The FSA is, without a doubt, nothing resembling moderate. As Daniel Wagner wrote for the Huffington Post in December, 2012, In the outskirts of Aleppo, the FSA has implemented a Sharia law enforcement police force that is a replica of the Wahhabi police in Saudi Arabia forcing ordinary citizens to abide by the Sharia code. This is being done in a secular country which has never known Sharia Law. This type of action is currently also being implemented in northern Mali, where the West has officially declared its opposition to the al-Qaeda government that took control earlier this year. If what is happening near Aleppo is representative of what may happen if the FSA assumes control of Syria, the country may become an Islamic state. Is that really what the U.S. and other Western countries are intending to tacitly support? [] Indeed, the FSA has also been targeting the infrastructure of the country. One of the main power plants in Damascus was knocked out for three days last week, impacting 40 percent of the citys residents. Do freedom fighters typically attack critical infrastructure that impacts ordinary citizens on a mass scale? The FSA long ago stopped targeting solely government and military targets. The FSA is no stranger to atrocities. The FSA is the moderate opposition that was filmed forcing a young child to behead a Syrian soldier. It is also the moderate opposition that maintained burial brigades, a system of mass murder and mass executions against soldiers and those who support the Syrian government. The burial brigades were only one small part of a much wider campaign of terror and executions implemented by the Free Syrian Army. Of course, the Free Syrian Army is merely the umbrella group of death squads carefully crafted to present a moderate face on what is, in reality, nothing more than savage terrorists. Thus, the FSA encompasses(d) a number of smaller brigades of al-Qaeda terrorists in order to cover up the true nature of its own ranks. One such brigade was the Farouq brigade, to which Abu Sakkar was a member. Sakkar, also seen in photographs with John McCain, was the famous rebel videotaped cutting the heart out of a Syrian soldier and biting into it. With this in mind, later passages of the Washington Post article detailing how the Nusra Front fighters were able to capture the weapons and absorb the fighters of the phantom moderate rebels are particularly relevant. The Washington Post reports that, Among the groups whose bases were overrun in the assault was Harakat Hazm, the biggest recipient of U.S. assistance offered under a small-scale, covert CIA program launched this year, including the first deliveries of U.S.-made TOW antitank missiles. The groups headquarters outside the village of Khan Subbul was seized by Jabhat al-Nusra overnight Saturday, after rebel fighters there surrendered their weapons and fled without a fight, according to residents in the area. [] Harakat Hazm, whose name means Steadfastness Movement, had also received small arms and ammunition alongside non-lethal aid in the form of vehicles, food and uniforms from the United States and its European and Persian Gulf Arab allies grouped as the Friends of Syria alliance. Scores of its fighters had received U.S. training in Qatar under the covert program, but it was also not possible to confirm whether any of those fighters had defected to the al-Qaeda affiliate. [emphasis added] While it is certainly true that, because of the mentally deranged nature of the fundamentalist terrorists belonging to these various groups, there are a number of violent conflicts that take place between them as they vie for power or quibble over disagreements in religious minutia, it is also true that the implied apocalyptic battle between Nusra and Harakat Hazm presented by mainstream outlets like the Washington Post never actually took place. As one can read from the passages quoted above, the so-called moderates who just happened (another convenient coincidence) to be the same so-called moderates who were the biggest recipients of U.S. assistance were allegedly confronted by Nusra and surrendered their weapons and fled without a fight. In other words, the U.S. provided these groups with a massive amount of assistance that was subsequently given to al-Nusra. While the mainstream media will present this as the result of a complicated battle situation, the truth is that it was nothing more than a conduit to provide arms to terrorist organizations whose public relations skills may not be as developed as the US State Department would hope. Lastly, it must be pointed out that Harakat Hazm should not be considered the biggest recipient of U.S. aid, since Harakat Hazm is simply one division of the whole that has been receiving billions of dollars of U.S. aid and equipment as well as other relevant assistance since at least 2010. In the end, the alleged al-Nusra/Harakat Hazm battle, when correctly understood in its proper context, should be viewed as nothing more than a carefully constructed cover story for the re-arming of Al-Nusra and other relevant Western-backed death squad forces.

Calls For Fans Support Former Vice Presidential nominee and Alaska governor Sarah Palin has kept a busy schedule as a political and social commentator, especially now that Donald Trump has won the election. So when Palin went silent, it didnt take long for her fans to notice. Palin dropped everything when she was hit with some devastating news for her state. She took to Facebook to share her story with her followers, reaching out for prayers during this extremely difficult time. Please pray for loved ones of Alaska Rep.

1	Celebrity chef and restaurateur Paula Deen announced Monday that her recently launched Step for a Cure Foundation would host its first annual .05K fun walk on May 20 to raise money for Type 2 diabetes research. The star of the Food Network shows Paula's Home Cooking and Paula's Best Dishes said the .031-mile course would cover a half block of Whitaker Street in Savannah's Historic District and would be open to walkers of all skill levels. 'Diabetes is a devastating condition that keeps folks from enjoying a regular lifestyle and doing things they love, but with y'all's support, we can help the doctors get this disease licked,' said Deen, who hopes to raise $500,000 with the event and has asked donors to sponsor walkers with a pledge of $1 to $5 per step. 'This .05K walk may be one heck of a challenge, but it's for such a good cause I'm darn sure gonna finish it.' 'Plus I want to show people that just because you're diabetic doesn't mean you can't get out there and move around a little,' Deen added. Deen, who has suffered from the disorder since 2009 but only recently revealed her diagnosis while endorsing a diabetes drug for a pharmaceutical manufacturer, told reporters she had begun an exhausting training regimen to prepare for the 164-foot event, walking slowly on a treadmill for up to 15 seconds each day. According to the food media mogul who made a name for herself by drinking straight liquid butter on television, the .05K should take about an hour to complete and will provide a fun family atmosphere, with a band playing at the halfway point and walkers at the starting line being cheered on by spectators at the nearby finish line. In addition, Deen assured participants the walking route would include 32 water and aid stations, which will serve deep-fried, melt-in-your-mouth garlic cheese biscuits 'just in case anybody gets the butter tingles.' 'This is a fundraiser, not a race, so it's important to make sure nobody gets too winded or wears out their little ol' legs,' said the bestselling author of a children's cookbook that suggests eating cheesecake for breakfast. 'Just go at your own pace. Nobody needs to walk fast or anything.' 'I'm sure I'll stop and rest part way and take a 20-minute breather myself,' Deen added. 'It's easy to lose steam once you hit that wall around step 72.' In an effort to limit the depletion of energy in walkers' muscles during the 'fatiguing' 1,969-inch hike, Deen suggested all participants load up on carbohydrates by eating a pan of her famous homemade batter-dipped French fries the night before the walk. 'We're asking folks to give whatever they can to help out, because if there's a more urgent cause than finding a cure for adult-onset diabetes, I sure as heck don't know what it is,' said Deen, explaining that part of the fun-walk proceeds would be used to purchase insulin so those afflicted with the disease can continue eating as many 'yummy treats' as they desire. 'Ain't it just the worst?' 'Believe me, honey, I know how sad it is to say 'no thank you' to that second pan of brownies, or reduce your mayonnaise intake by a quart,' Deen continued.

2	Obama Admin Caught Breaking The Law... This May Get Him Impeached It is becoming abundantly clear that the Obama administration is willing to bend and even break laws to keep Obamacare in effect. Now, it appears that the control they have may be slipping. Insurance companies like United Healthcare and Aetna are losing billions of dollars in an attempt to sell these healthcare plansand they could drop out this year. In 2014, the Obama administration scrambled to avert a similar disaster by promising insurers a bailout, which would be funded with taxpayer dollars. At the time, the proposal was shut down by the American public. Now, it appears that this strategy is back on the table. In the middle of this month, Obamas crew announced that $7.7 billion would be handed out to insurersand that is for this year alone. This is a major violation of the law as laid out by the Affordable Care Act. In Section 1341, which describes what money can be used for, it is clearly stated that annual fees belong to the public and not insurance companies. The law states that a fixed portion of this money shall be deposited into the general fund of the Treasury of the United States and may not be used to help with the losses experienced by insurance companies. What do you think? Are you sick of Obama bending the law to fuel his own agenda? 
1	Having waited until the Russian leader was lying facedown on the massage table before quietly slipping into the room behind him, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is said to have posed as a masseuse at a high-end Moscow spa Monday in order to spend a few minutes alone with Vladimir Putin. You seem very tense, Mr. Putinhow have things been going lately? the United States cabinet member reportedly said while kneading Putins shoulders as gentle panpipe music played around them. You sure have a lot of knots in your back. Have you been hunching over lately while drawing up plans for an imminent large-scale invasion of Ukraine, or maybe tensing up at the thought of crippling Western economic sanctions? Youd probably feel a lot more relaxed if you just invalidated yesterdays referendum results in Crimea and acknowledged publicly that such a vote was illegal under the Ukrainian constitution. Sources confirmed that Putin turned around with suspicion following Kerrys suggestion that the Russian president could ease his muscle stiffness by withdrawing troops from Ukraine, at which point the secretary of state hastily poured water onto some nearby heated sauna stones to create a veil of steam, claimed to need more massage oil, and dashed out of the room. 
2	Media Refuses To Report On White Cop Kidnapped And Murdered By Racist Thugs It is becoming increasingly clear that the media is intent on creating a one-sided story surrounding the Michael Brown case. Meanwhile, it is neglecting to report that a white cop was recently killed by black men in Waynesboro, VA. According to sources, Police Officer Kevin Quick of the Waynesboro Police Department was recently abducted and killed by four African-American men. The men were reportedly part of a Los Angeles-based gang. They reportedly took officer Quick to an ATM to withdraw money. The officer was then taken to the forest and murdered. The media neglected to report on the incident until Lowell Sun decided to bring the case back into the spotlight. What do you think? Are you sick of hearing a media-fashioned reality rather than the full truth? 
2	Shocking Police Report Of Michael Browns Mothers Armed Robbery Revealed, Now Arrest Her!

Now, that report has been confirmed, and the police report has been revealed, letting the public in on some shocking details. According to reports, McSpadden specifically request that the report be withheld from the media. And its no wonderthe document recaps her robbery and assault on her ex-mother-in-law Pearlie Gordon, who was attempting to tell shirts with Michael Browns name on it. According to the incident report, McSpadden and the group she was with descended on Gordon and her friends, beating them and robbing them of their merchandise. In fact, Gordon was punched in the face by McSpadden, while her male colleagues were actually beaten with a pipe. McSpadden fled with $1,500 in merchandise and $400 in cash. What do you think of the incident? Should McSpadden be arrested? 
1	Members of the New York Yankees reportedly failed to experience even the slightest tinge of emotion Monday while hugging teammate Alex Rodriguez, who returned to the lineup following a six-week layoff with a fractured hand. 'You'd think after four years of playing together, traveling to away games, and hanging out in the clubhouse, I would at least have some feelings, either positive or negative, when embracing the guy,' said Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher, explaining that the stiff, two-second embrace left him with a 'cold, uncomfortable numbness.' 'I didn't feel happy, I didn't feel sad, I didn't feel anything at all. Just complete emptiness. It was like putting my arms around a lamppost.' Sources later confirmed that, despite the complete and utter indifference felt by every Yankee who greeted Rodriguez, the team did take some joy in watching the 14-time All-Star strike out during their 4-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. 
3	Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Transmits from Livestock to Humansselfnews Post The groundbreaking study was conducted by genetics researchers who analyzed the genomes of MRSA bacteria from patients and their farm animals, and found the samples to be genetically identical. Published on Tuesday in EMBO Molecular Medicine, the study confirms animal-to-human transmission of MRSA. In reaction, Slaughter sent a letter to Dr. Margaret Hamburg, the Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration today calling for immediate action to reduce the use of antibiotics in livestock. Read the text of the letter by clicking here. In sending the letter, Slaughter said, This study ends any debate. The extreme overuse of antibiotics in livestock is endangering human health. Slaughter continued, For decades, the United States Food and Drug Administration has failed to act in the face of a growing threat. These findings make it clearer than ever that their failure is endangering human life. Starting today, the FDA must take strong federal action to reduce antibiotic use in livestock and protect human health. To read the results of the study, click here. These findings come on the heels of public health warnings in the United Kingdom and the United States about the catastrophic threat of antibiotic disease. Earlier this month, Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the US Centers for Disease Control, warned that our strongest antibiotics dont work and patients are left with potentially untreatable infections. To view the text of the legislation, click here. Currently, 80 percent of all antibiotics sold in the United States are sold for agricultural use. Most often, these antibiotics are distributed at sub-therapeutic levels to healthy animals as a way to compensate for crowded and unsanitary living conditions or to promote growth. Any effort to stop the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria must address the overuse of antibiotics in food-animals. PAMTA is supported by 450 organizations, including public health organizations, scientists, the World Health Organization, American Medical Association, National Academy of Sciences and small farmers across the United States.

1	In a spectacular climax to the longest manhunt ever mounted by the FBI, federal agents captured the notorious, glamorous Umabomber yesterday. The radical terrorist and darling of the silver screen is the chief suspect in 16 bombings, 23 injuries and three deaths, as well as audience-wowing appearances in the racy Dangerous Liaisons and the smash hit Pulp Fiction, over the last 18 years. 'The Umabomber is led into custody by FBI officials following the L.A. premiere of her new film, The Truth About Cats and Dogs. Many observers have gone so far as to call the high-profile terrorist a 'celebrity.'', 'For years, the FBI's only lead to the Umabomber's identity besides her 17 feature film appearances and numerous magazine covers was this police sketch.' FBI investigators spent a reported $68 million and over 300,000 work hours in their effort to nab the elusive beauty, and as the starlet flashed her million-dollar smile at paparazzi while being led into custody last week, one question arose: Who can blame them? The star-studded arrest was witnessed by over two million viewers on Pay-Per-View and featured law enforcement officials from seven states as well as celebrity guests Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis. The Umabombers been on the FBIs Ten Most Wanted List for 18 years, Variety columnist Bunny Shirer said, and on People magazines 50 Most Beautiful People in the World list for the last five. That means two things: Boffo Box Office, and Blammo Post Office. She later added that MCA/ Universal had been pursuing the Umabomber for years, and that the FBI is very lucky to have her. The Umabomber is a ruthless, highly educated extremist with no respect for human life, and whose looks and talent have made her an extremely sought-after property, both in Hollywood and by national law enforcement, said the Umabombers Pulp Fiction co-star Bruce Willis at an exclusive after-arrest party at L.A.s Viper Room. The Umabomber, who has lived a life of luxury for years, shielded from media scrutiny by security cameras and bodyguards, was almost impossible to reach, according to FBI spokespersons. We must have called her publicist six, seven times a week, said Tom Bannon of the joint Federal Bureau of Investigation/Screen Actors Guild team in charge of tracking the elusive Umabomber throughout her grisly and glamorous career. Always, it was the same thing: Umas not available this week, well get back to you. Police left messages on her voice mail, staked out her managers office, and sent her scripts, all to no avail. Were very excited to finally get the Umabomber for the FBI, said an FBI official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Now that weve stolen her away from her three-picture deal at Paramount, we can expect higher FBI box-office grosses than ever before. After a number of false leads (such as a rumor that 1992s Final Analysis would be shot on location in Tunisia, causing an expensive and fruitless mobilization of Interpol), FBI detectives got their first real break a year later, when the Umabombers bodyguard, Flavio, allegedly punched an FBI photographer who was trying to get inside her limousine. The Umabomber remained strangely inactive following her starring role in the flop Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, prompting hopeful speculation that her deadly spree may have permanently ended. She returned to the spotlight last year however, with the horrific letter-bombing of timber lobbyist Murray Bilgert, and numerous supporting roles that showed her increasing versatility as an actress. Experts agree that the Umabombers fatal slip-up occurred in 1995, when the stars publicist convinced the New York Times and Washington Post to print a 35,000-word manifesto against technology alongside a full-page ad for her Oscar-nominated release, Pulp Fiction. But it was the media campaign for the upcoming release of the irreverent romantic comedy The Truth About Cats and Dogs, co-starring funnywoman Janeane Garofalo, that made the Umabombers cap-ture all the more urgent, ac-cor-ding to sources close to the case. If that film is a hit, you can erase any doubts about the Umabombers staying power as a celebrity, said FBI spokesman Tom Haver. According to The Uma-bomb-ers personal assistant, Denise Mazur, despite persistent rumors that she is involved with Johnny Depp, she is single and looking forward to prison life. After all that terrorist bombing and 19-hour days on the set, Mazur says, the Umabomber is looking forward to being a regular prisoner again.

'At no other time of the day is my life so jam-packed with incredible entertainment choices,' Meske said Monday. 'I could listen to the '60s at 6:00 or tune into the week's Top Five with Fathead on The Zone! Should I get the lead out with Beebo and Frank, stay informed with Ted and Heidi, or get riled by Mike Savage?! Sometimes I wish my commute took two hours!' Meske added that his wealth of options for the morning drive floor him as well. 
3	Breaking: Mayors Office In Houston Shut Down VAXXEDBy John Rappoport The film Vaxxed, exposing criminal fraud at the CDC and the CDCs concealment of a link between the MMR vaccine and autism, was shut down in Houston. Locked out 2 days ago. It was supposed to open at the Worldfest Houston International Film Festival, but Hunter Todd, the head of the Festival, admitted in writing that high government officials in Houston had threatened the Festivalso Vaxxed was axed. Now I have confirmation that it was the Houston Mayors office that did the deed. The threat was about $$. The city government supports the Festival with grants. Show the filmno grants. More censorship. As you know, Vaxxed was also axed at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. But the Angelika Film Center in NY has been showing Vaxxed since last Friday, and attendance has swelled. There are now requests from many theaters around THE WORLD that want to show the film. Ive just been informed that the Village Voice newspaper in New York, which agreed to a package of ads from Vaxxed, has canceled the adsand blasted out an email distancing itself from Vaxxed. The censors are working overtime on all fronts.AND THEYRE LOSING. Here is the Vaxxed statement about the Village Voice shutting down their ad package: yesterday, after a paid advertising email blast promoting the film was sent to the Village Voices Film list, the Editor sent out an unprecedented and factually incorrect retraction: Village Voice Editor: Earlier today we sent a promotional email that included advertising for the movie Vaxxed, causing some confusion about whether we support the films position that vaccinations can cause autism and other developmental problems in children. We want to be very clear that the Voice vehemently disagrees with that position, and believes it to be contrary to the vast majority of scientific information on the subject. Vaxxed Producers: After the print ad in the Village Voice was published (which hit newsstands yesterday) and the promotional e-blast was sent to subscribers then retracted, Cinema Libre Studio [Vaxxeds distributor] was informed that the remaining part of the ad campaign, which included digital banner ads, was also cancelled.

Ask the scammers to be spesific, ask the fraudsters about Where in this Vaxxed is, there by their standards and as an product of their accustaions, is Vaxxed de facto, wrong. Isnt it fantastic, hypocrasy is becomed the new inn, hypocrasy dragged to heights unpressedented in history, and instead of dealing with it, do something about it, the prosecture Us. When the bankers are hanged, the last prest/mullah/rabbie(s) is dinggling, we can take the medical society as well to save humanity from an danger so hideous is scary, hidden behind an even wurser fraud, our so called science. I know of one person, whom kicked for 6 straight hours into an sollid, armed glass window, and it broke. peace They use this tactic in many other areas. Here is just one example : Care must be taken not to give a platform for deniers or seek to disprove the deniers position through normal historical debate and rational argument.-Guidelines for Teaching about the Holocaust at the Stockholm International Forum, 2000 Friggin unbelievable! the answer is quite simple, if the makers of vaccines had nothing to fear then the films would be shown uncontested. would the automobile industry fear a film concerning the connection between steering wheels and autism . . . of course not! why? because there is no connection between steering wheels and autism. The only way the makers could have nothing to fear is if they made nothing. Vaccines are a high profit farce that seem to be being used for population control. If the survivors of Auschwitz had nothing to fear then they wouldnt mind the Holocaust was a hoax crowd. Well stated Jan.. And those who want to continue vaccinating their children should not fear my unvaccinated child because after all, their children are PROTECTED. They doth protest too much, methinks. This is a clear case of ANY PUBLICITY IS GOOD PUBLICITY even if its bad! First Tribecca now this. Vaxxed is being censored at many film festivals- and it is not the only movie that this is happening to. This is the tip of the iceberg. This is happening to many movies no doubt. The Mayor should be impeached. The FBI/CIA/DHS/FEMA/ et:al should be finding the culprits. [PUBLIC HEALTH LOGIC] on vaccines dictates [full participation is necessary for proper herd affect] YOU know where and when this ASSHOLE appears go give him HELL ON EARTH the bastard earned it! PUT a flash MOB of 10,000 at his HOUSE or the home of his mistress. Arter 225 years of Edward Jenners cowpox vaccination fraud, the truth is squeeking into the open. Why not let the people decide to watch this movie or not and form their on opinion. The truth about vaccines are coming to the forefront and everyone who is profiting from this wants to shut everyone possible avenue where the truth can revealed. The film could not be censored if people were able to stream it thru an offshore vpn by paying for it. Screening it in places where it can be censored by the people guaranteed to want it to go away proves nothing! Let normal people watch the film already! If the films owners really wanted all regular people to be able to see this film, it would be on a stream-for-pay service somewhere! Its exclusive because the films owners want it that way. No, they did it this way because they knew it would trip the alarm bells; which it has because everyone wants to see it now by any means they can. Successful PR campaign I reckon Yes, you cant watch the film right now, even if you want to, unless you are in one of the exclusive screening locations, because the owners want it that way. Manufactured scarcity. Streisand (in full) effect. If they wanted, it would be on Hulu or Netflix yesterday. Clearly they dont want. If I was hiring someone to promote my controversial film, and by some means it got banned from a few places Id retain them for other PR jobs. Nothing sizzles like telling people they cant have something. That would spoil all the manufactured controversy. Cant have that! Pretty soon this film (Vaxxed) is going to appear on Youtube. Just saying. Yes, b/c info needs to be free!!! Or stream it on amazon on demand, I would pay, I wan t to see it! You can watch a documentary on Amazon titled Trace Amounts. It was recommended by De Niro when he was interviewed about Vaxxed being pulled from the Tribeca Film Festival. The truth will come out and I thank De Niro for his work and diligence on this serious issue. I would still pay them for the documentary because some of the people in documentary put their career and possibly even life in danger. The reality of this kind of censorship is that once it is announced, it will be the best thing for the producers. More people will want to see it, if for no other reason than to determine the facts. Good Job Fellas!! You did it again! Some say there is no such thing as bad publicity? Its so amazing this deep truth is readily available by Google search. This Deep Research is probably no more than a 20 minute perusal of a YouTube video. True. But when you throw a grenade in a room it gets everyones attention 1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. There is a war going on here, and on different fronts. One casualty of this war will be the one that now threatens Theres no such thing as bad publicity. These shut downs only made more people aware of the film, and more want to see it. Apparently, the shut downs were intended to make the film more popular. Total admission of guilt It is not the fault of pharma industries, rather it is the fault of government enforcing it w/brute force into our children. 
1	Calling the teens behavior ruthless and out of control, Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathaway confirmed to reporters today that for the past few months she has been routinely and viciously bullied both in person and across a wide variety of social media by 14-year-old Jenny Schroeder. According to Hathaway, the incredibly mean eighth-grader has targeted the Hollywood leading lady specifically with increasingly brazen acts of cruelty, including posting threatening messages on the 30-year-olds Facebook page and making numerous disparaging remarks about Hathaways physical appearance, often uttered directly to her or within earshot of her. At first it was just super mean comments when shed pass by me, like, Hey, loser, but its gotten way, way worseits a nightmare, said Hathaway, adding that Schroeder is currently waging a war against Hathaway on social media sites Formspring.me, The Dirty, Kik, and Askfm, where the girls messages ranged from mocking the actress outfits to encouraging her to take her own life. She sends me notes and stuff telling me that my boobs are weird and that boys think Im ugly and gross. I try to shut it out, but its just relentless. And all of her friends have gotten in on it too, added Hathaway, wiping tears from her eyes. I try to avoid them, but theyre always around. Theyre awful. I can hear them laughing at me wherever I go. According to sources, the cyberbullying directed at Hathaway has been particularly vicious, with posts reading, Kill yourself, Die die die, why dont u die people hate u, Do you think you look good with short hair because you definitely dont, you look like a slutty elf, u r a special needs actress, and u got an oscar for being the 1st overweight transvestite actress with AIDS. Friends and family recently confirmed to reporters that the bullied Hathaway began cutting and burning herself as a coping mechanism for stress on the set of the Christopher Nolan film Interstellar, and aides close to the actress fear her self-destructive behavior has expanded to include anorexia and a dangerous laxative addiction. As Hathaway appeared to deteriorate from the constant stream of digital abuse, her mother threatened to call Jenny Schroeders parents, but Hathaway reportedly begged her to stay out of the issue. She just started crying hysterically and screamed, No, Momyou cant call [Schroeders] mom, itll just make things worse! said Hathaways mother, adding that she was alarmed and saddened to discover that her daughter had recently conducted Google searches for Is Anne Hathaway the biggest loser in the world, What is overweight for a 30-year-old girl, and How much Tylenol do you have to take to die on her mothers computer. This Jenny girl thinks its funny and that shes just having fun, but what shes doing to my daughter is wrong. We are all trying to support Anneher dad and I, her friends, her costars, her agentbut its been really hard, she said. I try to tell her, Youre better than Jenny Schroeder, but I just dont think anythings getting through. While numerous people have posted support for Hathaway on Facebook and Twitter, telling her to remain brave and stay strong, reports confirmed that just as many have joined Hathaways tormentor in levying cruel insults against the actress. Ha ha youre a dumb, ugly lesbo, Jennys right, read a recent tweet directed at Hathaway by Twitter user @channingtatum. Fuk off and die. 
1	The Cogdell School Board banned the teaching of the controversial 'Theory Of Math' in its schools Monday. 'We are simply not confident of this mysterious process by which numbers turn, as if by magic, into other numbers,' board member Gus Reese said. 'Those mathematicians are free to believe 3 times 4 equals 12, but that dun [sic] give them the right to force it on our children.' Under the new ruling, all math textbooks will carry a disclaimer noting that math is only one of many valid theories of number-manipulation. 
1	Following yet another season-ending knee surgery, Philadelphia 76ers center Andrew Bynum openly wondered Sunday if he will ever have the chance to completely waste his talent on a basketball court again. Im beginning to worry that, with all these injuries, I wont be able to get back out there and completely squander all of my abilities, said Bynum, admitting that his chronic knee issues could potentially prevent him from ever fully underutilizing his God-given athletic gifts. Its just frustrating because I know that if Im healthy I can definitely live up to one-tenth of my potential. I just have to be patient and diligent with my rehab so I can one day throw away another opportunity to become the best center in the league. Reached for comment, Bynums orthopedic surgeon Dr. David Altchek told reporters he is confident Bynum will recover in time to fritter away his wealth of natural talent at the start of next season. 
3	Yes, activism works: European Parliament votes down ACTA by wide marginMadison Ruppert, Contributor This comes after the treaty was approved by every single one of the 27 EU heads of government in December 2011, but clearly the formal approval process wasnt nearly as easy. Unfortunately, the United States already signed ACTA in October 2011, which has already sparked claims from lobbyists that the rejection of the agreement make the EU be weakened in free trade negotiations with the United States, Canada and emerging markets that are relative newcomers to intellectual property, according to Reuters. Essentially this means that other countries may continue to participate in ACTA even though the entire group of nations making up the EU is backing out of the same agreement they participated in negotiating. Thankfully the false claims that ACTA was needed to standardize the different national laws that protect the rights of those who produce music, movies, pharmaceuticals, fashion goods and other products that often fall victim to piracy and intellectual property theft, were not able to trump the truth. In reality, ACTA would enable, if not mandate, widespread internet surveillance, censorship, and potentially allow for Monsanto to actually come after farmers in other countries for saving seeds, an offense that can actually result in up to $3 million in damages, as I previously reported. These nations include Australia, Canada, Japan, Morocco New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and the United States. Yet some are still claiming victory already, such as Scottish Member of European Parliament David Martin. No emergency surgery, no transplant, no long period of recuperation is going to save ACTA, said Martin. Its time to give it its last rites. Its time to allow its friends to mourn and for the rest of us to get on with our lives, he added. Furthermore, writing for the Associated Press, Don Melvin stated: The failure to ratify the treaty is a humiliation for the European Union, which was one of the prime movers in the multi-year effort to negotiate the agreement. Unfortunately some are not going to roll over as easily as Martin would obviously like. One such individual is Karel De Gucht, the EUs Trade Commissioner. Its clear that the question of protecting intellectual property does need to be addressed on a global scale for business, the creative industries, whether in Europe or our partner countries, De Gucht said. De Gucht stated that the European Parliaments clear decision will in no way change his plan to bring ACTA to the highest court in Europe the Court of Justice in order to determine if in the current form it would infringe on the rights of Europeans. With the rejection of ACTA, the need to protect the backbone of Europes economy across the globe: our innovation, our creativity, our ideas our intellectual property does not disappear, said De Gucht, indicating that he would decide what his next steps would be after the opinion from the European court comes down. Some are seeing major future consequences, such as Ilias Konteas, Senior Adviser at Business Europe, a massive European lobbyist group representing 20 million companies across 35 nations. When the EU talks to China about intellectual property rights, they (China) willrefer to the parliaments rejection (of ACTA), Konteas claimed. I am afraid the unintended consequences have not been considered by members of the European Parliament. Although, De Gucht made similar claims like, A vote against ACTA will be a setback for the protection of our intellectual property rights around the world. I personally doubt that any of these grim predictions will come to pass since file sharing really isnt this monumental, megalithic and urgent problem they make it out to be. The reality of increasingly open, legitimized, and legalized constant surveillance and internet censorship seem like much more important issues to me. That being said, I find it quite exciting that some leaders, somewhere, are actually paying attention when the people get together and criticize government policies they do not agree with. It is not only our right, but it is our duty to constantly scrutinize government activities and speak up when we see something out of place. Thankfully at least one group of leaders somewhere in the world is taking a stand, now we just have to see if individuals in other nations will follow suit. Did I forget anything or miss any errors?

2	Mark Levin Destroys Obama On Live TV: Get Your A** Off The Golf Course [VIDEO] During a recent radio show, Mark Levin fearlessly called out Obama for being an unprofessional leader. You know, folks, an American is decapitated in the middle of the desert by some British-Islamo-Nazi puke, Levin began. This puke, this punk, ties one of our citizens up, his hands behind his back, lifts up his chin, and saws his head off! Is it too much to expect this pathetic president to spend more than five minutes on it? Though extreme, Levins comments highlight a common frustration many Americans share: Obama seems to be afraid or unwilling to take action. This man should have been in the Situation Room with the press there, with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, with the head of his national security team, with the Director of the CIA, Levin continued. He should have been there with the President Pro Tem and the Senate Majority Leader and the Republican Leader. He should have been there with the Speaker of the House and the Democrat Leader in the House. And he should have been there and made a statementnot from the friggin golf course! Levi then went on to tell our president to get off the golf course. Im gonna be the father you never had, Levin concluded. Get your ass off the golf course, get the hell back into Washington, D.C., act like a president, or get the hell out! What do you think of Levins comments? Do you agree with him? Does Obama need to take action? 
1	In what is being called the biggest gaffe in the sports network's 30-year history, ESPN totally forgot to cover last week's Brett Favre vs. Green Bay Packers storyline. Favre's legendary career with the Packers, which spanned 16 seasons, three MVP awards, and one Super Bowl title, was not mentioned even once during pregame coverage of the Monday night Packers-Vikings matchup or during the game itself. Records indicated that it wasn't until Wednesdaymore than 48 hours after Favre led Minnesota to a dramatic 30-23 victorythat producers began to feel that they may have overlooked one of sports' most obvious storylines. 'I was looking at a newspaper, and it said, 'Favre Sacks Former Team,' and at that point I realized we really missed one,' ESPN president George Bodenheimer told reporters. 'I just want to apologize to our viewers. Had the Favre-Packers connection dawned on us sooner, fans could have enjoyed the same quality sports journalism they have come to expect from ESPN: driving storylines into the ground and exploiting every one of their subplots to the point of nausea.' ESPN news director Vince Doria said that if he or any of his colleagues had realized Favre would be playing against his former team, the network would have begun overhyping the week-four matchup the moment the quarterback signed with the Vikings. Instead, ESPN attempted to generate interest in the game by doing an extensive two-week profile on Vikings backup tight end Jim Kleinsasser. 'We kind of blew a golden opportunity,' Doria said. 'Endless explanations as to what Brett Favre meant to the city of Green Bay, restating over and over how he left the Packers on poor terms, and airing at least 50 segments featuring wild and irresponsible speculation about his motives for returning to the NFL. It would have been perfect.' 'I only wish these two teams played again this year so we could have a chance to fix our mistake,' Doria added. Monday Night Football producer Jay Rothman also registered his disappointment, saying that the network could have asked, 'Is Brett Favre seeking revenge on the Packers?' so many times that the words would have lost all meaning. 'Do you realize how often we could have shown a comparison graphic between [current Packers quarterback] Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre?' Rothman said. 'And not just during the broadcast of the game, but on SportsCenter, NFL Primetime, Sunday NFL Countdown, NFL Live, SportsCenter Monday Kickoff, and Monday Night Countdownnot to mention during every single fucking 15-minute update on ESPNews.' 'And ESPN.com,' Rothman said. 'My God, we could have used ESPN.com to really beat into the heads of America that Brett Favre still plays the game with childlike exuberance. And he's turning 40! We could have done so much with that, like mention it every 10 seconds.' Rothman admitted that an awareness of the Brett Favre storyline would have also given him the chance to air some of the most obvious and asinine statistics in the history of sports broadcasting, such as a graphic documenting how backup quarterbacks who replace departing Hall of Famebound quarterbacks have historically fared in the league. 'We messed up plain and simple,' Rothman said. 'Knowing what I know now, I would have started the broadcast with a highlight reel of Brett Favre's greatest moments with the Green Bay Packers just to set the tone that the night would be Brett Favre, Brett Favre, Brett Favre, Brett Favre, Brett Favre, Brett Favre. That would have made much more sense than opening with a discussion about the Vikings' new three-year naming rights agreement to call their stadium the Mall of America Field at Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome.' 'I'm still kicking myself because Jon Gruden didn't have a chance to share with America his very long, very uncomfortable anecdote about how he once sort of coached Favre,' Rothman added. Though employees continue to express regret over ESPN's lack of coverage, football fans across the nation generally seemed to enjoy the broadcast of Monday night's game. 'I think ESPN showed a lot of restraint,' New York resident Dan Jeffery, 43, said. 'I didn't need anyone to tell me Brett Favre was playing against his old team. Everyone and their mother knew that. I actually appreciated that they let the drama play out on the field.' 
1	Criticizing the Obama administrations response to the current crisis in Libya and Egypt, Mitt Romney told reporters Wednesday that we should never, under any circumstance, apologize for the values that make this country great, such as our belief in the right to practice religion without persecution, our commitment to the freedom of assembly, or the overwhelming xenophobia that led to the relocation and internment of more than 110,000 Japanese-Americans during World War II. As Americans, we should never feel the need to question who we are or what we stand for, whether its our strong commitment to family or whether were rounding up a group of innocent people, separating them from their friends and loved ones, and putting them into what are essentially overcrowded prisons because they happen to be of Japanese descent, Romney told the assembled press corps, adding that free speech and concentration camps are American ideals that should be cherished, not second-guessed. So if you ask me, should we ever apologize for freedom, justice, honor, or how we perverted those beliefs to justify one of the most horrifying acts of prejudice in American history, the answer is no. When asked by reporters what American values are exactly, or what the phrase American values even means, Romney stared at the press, blinked several times, and walked off stage. 
1	Admitting there really wasnt anyone else who came to mind as a viable option, local 32-year-old Emma Weir told reporters Tuesday that she has few enough friends to consider confiding in her younger sister. Im not particularly close with anyone I grew up with, and my college friends and I have fallen out of touch over the yearsI guess my sister Rachels the only person who I could actually open up to about anything going on in my life, said Weir, acknowledging that her lack of any lasting friendships from her childhood summer camp, weekly yoga class, or past jobs has led her to at least think over the idea of having a heart-to-heart with her sibling. I thought about bringing up some of my deeper personal thoughts with a colleague, but I dont really feel that comfortable talking about my anxiety issues or seeking out relationship help from someone I deal with at the office every day. So, I suppose I could give that a shot with my sister next time I call her. Who knows, maybe shed even confide in me. Weir added that if her sister wasnt available, she could always follow her mothers example and keep all personal and emotional turmoil bottled up inside indefinitely. 
2	Outrage Over Black Mans Radical Message To The Black Community Recently, Fredrick Wilson II caused a stir on Facebook when he posted a controversial message to the black community in reference to the Ferguson riots. The message was threefold: the black community needs to take responsibility, stop acting as if slavery still exists, and teach their children to get an education and value what is important. If you live in a messed up neighborhood, let me give you a little advice, stop messing it up, Wilson told his following. If your neighborhood is messed up its because the people in the neighborhood continually mess it up. He then goes on to address the issue of slavery. Black people, it is 2014, hate to break this to you if your life is messed up, it aint because of slavery, Wilson claims. Your a*** was never a slave, you probably aint know nobody who was a slave, you probably dont know nobody that knew nobody who was a slave. He concludes by advising the black community to get an education, get a job, better yourself, better your situation. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
2	Obama Forces US Police To Wear THIS New Uniform So They Dont Look Racist According to Mr. Conservative, for the last few weeks Obama has been making a series of moves against U.S. police, as well as condemning them for targeting poor, African Americans. Now, Obama is trying to ease tension between police and the communities they serve by forcing them to dress soft look uniforms. During his time in Camden, New Jersey, Obama disclosed that he is restricting the police from using certain military equipment as well as outlawing the use of riot shields. Weve seen how militarized gear can sometimes give people the feeling like theres an occupied force, as opposed to a force that is part of that community it is protecting and serving, Obama said in his speech, according to Conservative Tribune. Obamas new strategy for police uniforms is to give them soft look which hopefully will make police look less intimidating and racist. This is all part of his bigger plan at work. How are police supposed to protect themselves as things are getting more and more out of control? How can you stop a riot with no riot gear? The need the proper gear to keep the rioters at bay. Race baiters know they have the president in their pocket, and this just made things a whole lot worse. Do you agree Obama is biased told race baiters? What do you think of his new strategy? 
2	Phil Robertson: We Are Swimming In A Cesspool Of Politically Correct Crap In a recent sermon at his church, Phil Robertson took the opportunity to equate sin and political correctness. America is sick, He told the Whites Ferry Road Church of Chris in Monroe, LA. Its sinfully sick, and so is the world. When is the last time you heard someone in the news media say their straight voice and any kind of admiration, Jesus Christ. Jesus? he continued on to ask the congregation. They wont even mention his nameWe are swimming in a cesspool of politically correct crap. Were sure that these comments will stir up some controversy, as the Duck Dynasty star definitely knows how to do. In fact, his comments have landed him in hot water before, almost getting his show kicked off the air. Fortunately, he has received significant support and backing from his fans. Still, Robertson continues to speak his mind, even if it means calling for Islamic State terrorists to be converted or killed. He does not fear the mainstream media, and seeks to challenge them despite popular opinion. What do you think? Do you agree with Phil? Has America taken political correctness too far? 
1	Shaking his head at the diverse variety of Mexican and Latin American food options being made available to him, area shopper Steve Unger told reporters Friday that the Hispanic food aisle at his local grocery store pretty much told him all he needed to know about where America is heading. Black beans, tortillas, hot peppersboy, thats the whole story right here, said the visibly dismayed Unger, 49, who recalled a time when Latin American items only constituted about a third of Aisle 14s offerings at the Kroger on Miami Avenue and Americas dominant position in the world was completely unquestioned. Look at these names: Goya, Tapatioits the whole damn aisle! How many types of salsa do you need, for crying out loud? At press time, Ungers ire had only grown more intense upon passing by a small refrigerated hummus display.

2	Woman Sexually Assaulted By Clinton Comes Forward And Exposes Hillary For THIS Her Campaign Is Over Kathleen Wiley first made headlines after she accused former president Bill Clinton of sexual assault. Now, Wiley is back in the media bracing Americans for a scandal a day should they choose to elect Hillary to the White House. Wiley is a former Democratic party activist, who came forward in 1998 with claims that President Clinton had groped her in the Oval Office. What has she done, what has she accomplished to run for president, to become the president of the United States? Wiley asked reporters. I cant find, for the life of me, one thing. And if I could find one thing, I would acknowledge that fact. But I havent seen one single accomplishment that would give her the credentials to be president of the United States. She also went on to claim that Hillarys support of womens rights was just a faade. Women should pay attention to what shes done to other women, and not just the women who were unfortunate to cross paths with her husband, Wiley continued. Of course, Wiley also expressed more common concerns when it comes to Hillary, including her involvement in Benghazi and the latest email scandal, in addition to her compliance with Bills behavior. What do you think? Do the Clintons belong far away from the White House? 
1	Although no one at the Bleachers Bar and Grill seemed to be paying attention to the television set, the act of getting bartender Brian Smith to press a button on a remote control and change its channel was somehow far more difficult than patron Arthur Klein had anticipated. 'Boy, I don't know, that's going to be tough,' Smith said following the simple, straightforward request. 'That one's on the satellite and I don't really know how to use it. Plus some of the regulars might drop by a little later and they'll probably want to watch the ball game.' When pressed again to change the channel, Smith reportedly told Klein that the bar didn't carry CBS. 
1	The Stashwick family of Roanoke was 'alarmed and saddened' to see a beloved-but-aging TV program suffer yet another terrible episode Tuesday night. 'It's devastating to watch it deteriorate like this,' said wife and mother Janice Stashwick, shaking her head at the gradual breakdown of the show, which she claimed used to be 'so smart' and 'with it.' 'Not only does it barely make any sense these days, but most of the time it just tells the same old story over and over again. This has been a really bad year.' Family patriarch and longtime viewer Arnold Stashwick agreed, saying that it's painful to watch the show fall apart like this, and that if it were up to him he would just pull the plug on it. 
1	A U.S. Geological Survey expeditionary force announced Tuesday that it has discovered a previously unknown and unexplored land mass between the New York and California coasts known as the 'Midwest.' The Geological Survey team discovered the vast region while searching for the fabled Midwest Passage, the mythical overland route passing through the uncharted area between Ithaca, NY, and Bakersfield, CA. 'I long suspected something was there,' said Franklin Eldred, a Manhattan native and leader of the 200-man exploratory force. 'I'd flown between New York and L.A. on business many times, and the unusually long duration of my flights seemed to indicate that some sort of large area was being traversed, an area of unknown composition.' The Geological Survey explorers left the East Coast three weeks ago, embarking on a perilous journey to the unknown. Not long after crossing the Adirondack Mountains, Eldred and his team were blazing trails through strange new regions, wild lands full of corn and wheat. 'Thus far we have discovered places known as Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin,' said Randall Zachary, chief navigator for the expedition. 'When translated from the local dialect into English, these words seem to mean 'summer camp.'' Eldred and the others were surprised to learn that the Midwest, whose inhospitable environment was long believed to be incapable of supporting human life, is indeed populated, albeit sparsely. 'The Midwestern Aborigines are ruddy, generally heavy-set folk, clad in plain, non-designer costumery,' Eldred said. 'They tend to live in simple, one-story dwellings whose interiors are decorated with Hummels and 'Bless This House' needlepoint wall-hangings. And though coarse and unattractive, these simple people were rather friendly, offering us quaint native fare such as 'hotdish' and 'casserole.'' Though the Midwest territory is still largely unexplored, early reports describe a region as backwards as it is vast. 'Many of the basic aspects of a civilized culture appear to be entirely absent,' said Gina Strauch, a Los Angeles-based anthropologist. 'There is no theater to speak of, and their knowledge of posh restaurants is sketchy at best. Further, their agricentric lives seem to prevent them from pursuing high fashion to any degree, and, as a result, their mode of dress is largely restricted to sweatpants and sweatshirts, the women's being adorned with hearts and teddy bears and the men's with college-football insignias.' Despite the Midwesterners' considerable cultural backwardness, some say the establishment of relations with them is possible. 'Believe it or not, this region may have things to offer us,' said Jonathan Ogleby, a San Francisco-area marketing expert. 'We could construct an airport there, a place where New Yorkers could switch planes on their way to California. We could stage revivals of old Broadway musicals there. Perhaps we could even one day conduct trade with the Midwesterners, offering them electronic devices in exchange for meats and agriculture.' Others, however, are not so optimistic about future relations. 'We must remember that these people are not at all like us,' Conde Nast publisher and Manhattan socialite Lucille Randolph Snowdon said. 'They are crude and provincial, bewildered by our tall buildings and our art galleries, our books and our coffee shops. For an L.A. resident to attempt to interact with one of them as he or she would with, say, a Bostonian is ludicrous. It appears unlikely that we will ever be able to conduct a genuine exchange of ideas with them about anything, save perhaps television or 'the big game.'' 
1	The National Basketball Association is in custody today after law enforcement officials found the professional sports league to be in possession of more than 4,800 ounces of high-potency marijuana with a street value exceeding $2 million. 'We have had our suspicions about the association for years,' said Thomas Harrigan, chief of operations for the Drug Enforcement Administration, who aided local law enforcement in making the bust by supplying them with several hundred tips from fans, commentators, entertainers, known NBA associates, and even players. 'The NBA's overall attitude, the company it kept, the iconography it favoredand perhaps most of all, the frequent and open admissions of marijuana useindicated to us there was a high probability the league was in fact using marijuana.' Coordinated operations carried out in 27 major metropolitan areas resulted in the arrest of the 65-year-old professional sports league Thursday afternoon when officers, responding to reports of a 'funny smell' coming from the NBA, decided the odor had a high probability of being drug-related. Upon gaining access to the NBA's residences, vehicles, and places of business, and subsequently asking the association to empty its pockets, officers found substances that turned out, upon inspection, to be various forms of cannabis. In addition, police seized several hundred water pipes and high-temperature vaporizers, several large grow lights or complicated grow-light arrays, a number of hydroponic farming setups, and dozens of mature and carefully tended marijuana plants. Legal experts said the incident is potentially the most embarrassing arrest of a sports league in U.S. history, far worse than the NFL's 1993 arrest for domestic battery, college lacrosse's 2009 arrest for attempting to purchase 400 doses of Rohypnol from an undercover police officer, or Major League Baseball's nine DUIs. 'We're really not exactly sure of the extent of the NBA's involvement with pot, but we know they're habitual users,' Harrigan said in a press conference this morning. 'We should note that the association itself did not appear to be under the influence of marijuana when we confronted it. Commissioner [David] Stern was extremely forthcoming with us, and of course the conference finals have been as competitive and hard-fought as you could ask for. But the fact remains: The signs of regular marijuana use are just all over that league.' Arresting officers do not believe the NBA poses a flight risk, and it is expected to be released this afternoon upon posting a $54 million bond. Commissioner Stern, who was not involved in the arrest, announced the playoffs will continue as scheduled, but said he will consider handing down stiff suspensions in the offseason, particularly if the league fails proposed regular drug tests. 'The NBA cannot afford to be seen as tacitly condoning marijuana use, especially after taking such great pains to rid ourselves of the stigma of arrogant, sexually insatiable millionaires,' Stern said. 'We owe it to our fans to be better than that. I can only imagine the kind of crowds we'd attract if the National Basketball Association became synonymous with pot.' If convicted of all 1,346 charges, the NBA would face, at the very least, a jail term of up to six months and a fine of up to $150,000, and it would likely have its driver's license suspended for a year. In addition, the league may be required to attend a drug education class, the cost of which would be paid for by garnishing its wages. 
1	As the debate over immigration reform continues in Congress, members of the Republican Party on Tuesday voiced their unequivocal support for the nations more than 11 million Latino criminals, emphasizing that much of the foundation of American society rests on these hardworking Hispanic lawbreakers. Today, as we consider these crucial changes to our countrys immigration laws, let us once again reiterate our partys tremendous respect and advocation for the legions of dedicated and persevering Latino wrongdoers who are such an important part of this country, said Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), speaking on behalf of a group of GOP lawmakers who have pledged their support of the estimated 11 million flagrant and obtrusive offenders of the law. And so I would like these utterly felonious men and women to know that the Republican Party respects you and your corrupt, blatantly illegal interests. We stand with you, wanton transgressors. After all, you and your lawbreaking ilk make up a vital part of our nations rich tapestry, McConnell added. Emphasizing the important role played by the countrys 11 million undocumented miscreants in the nations neighborhoods, schools, and businesses, Republicans from both the Senate and the House came together in solidarity today with what lawmakers called the proud, resilient Hispanic crooks seeking to make a better life for themselves and their criminal families by taking what is not theirs. Specifically, GOP legislators highlighted the countless contributions made to society by the millions of job-stealing Latino factory workers, incessant federal fund wasters, violent gangbangers, and unassimilated, non-English-speaking foreign interlopers who they said make this country great. I, for one, am proud of these lawless foreigners who drain vital resources from our nation, irrevocably alter our national identity, and punish law-abiding immigrants who play by the rules, said House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), noting that several of his own constituents are steadfast, patriotic delinquents who openly defy our nations rule of law and believe in America. Despite anything you may have heard to the contrary, my fellow Republicans and I are fully behind these outlaws, and we believe in making a better life for these villains children and their childrens children, who will someday become enthusiastic criminals in their own right, if they arent already. These parasitic monsters should be given a shot at freedom and opportunity, because diversity and acceptance are what America is all about, Boehner continued. And they are what the Republican Party is all about, too. 
1	The smile, a facial expression traditionally used to convey joy, pleasure, or amusement, is now mainly used to suppress rage, according to a five-year study released Monday by the Countenance Institute. 'More than 85 percent of smiles are involuntary responses to mounting anger,' the study read in part. 'In addition, the length and intensity of these smiles directly correspond to the amount of anger the smile is concealing. A smile that lasts less than two seconds represents just a passing annoyance, while a smile of four to eight seconds indicates a genuine hatred for its target.' The study noted that individuals smiling for more than one minute while nodding and baring their teeth are most likely preparing to kill the person they are smiling at. 
1	Taking several minutes to fully process what was occurring, Sinclair Group, Inc. employee Carolyn Belk, 27, slowly and gradually realized this morning that her boss, Doug Fletcher, 48, was attempting to conduct a normal conversation with her. He came in and asked me how everything was going, and then he started talking about his familys plans for the holidays and whether I had made plans yet too and Im thinking Okay, whats happening here? Where is this going? said Belk, who confirmed that it dawned on her only incrementally that Fletcher was not giving her a performance review or assigning her a task or gently reprimanding her for something she had done wrong, but was in fact trying to initiate a casual coworker-to-coworker chat. It took me a solid five minutes to figure out what was going on, and by that time the conversation was basically over. I pretty much just stared at him. At press time, Belk was praying that would never, ever happen again. 
3	Next Generation Drones Will Be Inspired By Nature: ScientistsNicholas West RoboBee already has taken flight in search of an answer for autonomous pollination, search and rescue, hazardous exploration, military surveillance, climate mapping, and traffic monitoring to name a few of the slated functions. The scientific propaganda for the development of these drones is always important to note, as it represents how these will be sold to a lay audience unfamiliar with military applications. The press release below comes from 14 research teams currently tasked with introducing mini-drones to the elements so that they can eventually fly right alongside nature in any environment. As drone expert, P.W. Singersaid, At this point, it doesnt really matter if you are against the technology, because its coming. According to Singer, The miniaturization of drones is where it really gets interesting. You can use these things anywhere, put them anyplace, and the target will never even know theyre being watched. Hidden in plain sight. Based on the mechanisms adopted by birds, bats, insects and snakes, 14 distinguished research teams have developed solutions to some of the common problems that drones could be faced with when navigating through an urban environment and performing novel tasks for the benefit of society. (emphasis added) This one statement leaves very little doubt that its full steam ahead for permitting military development to once again trickle into everyday life. *** Whether this is avoiding obstacles, picking up and delivering items or improving the take-off and landing on tricky surfaces, it is hoped the solutions can lead to the deployment of drones in complex urban environments in a number of different ways, from military surveillance and search and rescue efforts to flying camera phones and reliable courier services. For this, drones need exquisite flight control. The research teams have presented their work today, 23 May, in a special issue of IOP Publishings journal Bioinspiration and Biomimetics, devoted to bio-inspired flight control. The first small drones have already been used in search and rescue operations to investigate difficult-to-reach and hazardous areas, such as in Fukushima, Japan. A research team from Hungary believe these efforts could be improved if robots are able to work in tandem, and have developed an algorithm that allows a number of drones to fly together like a flock of birds. The effectiveness of the algorithm was demonstrated by using it to direct the movements of a flock of nine individual quadcopters whilst they followed a moving car. While this collective movement may be helpful when searching vast expanses of land, a group of researchers from Harvard University have developed a millimetre-sized drone with a view to using it to explore extremely cramped and tight spaces. The microrobot they designed, which was the size of a one cent coin, could take off and land and hover in the air for sustained periods of time. In their new paper, the researchers have demonstrated the first simple, fly-like manoeuvres. In the future, millimetre-sized drones could also be used in assisted agriculture pollination and reconnaissance, and could aid future studies of insect flight. Once deployed into the real world, drones will be faced with the extremely tricky task of dealing with the elements, which could be extreme heat, the freezing cold, torrential rain or thunderstorms. The most challenging problem for airborne robots will be strong winds and whirlwinds, which a research team, from the University of North Caroline at Chapel Hill, University of California and The Johns Hopkins University, have begun to tackle by studying the hawk moth. In their study, the researchers flew hawk moths through a number of different whirlwind conditions in a vortex chamber, carefully examining the mechanisms that the hawk moths used to successfully regain flight control. Researchers must also find a way of reducing the amount of power that is required to operate drones, which a team from the Universit de Sherbrooke and Stanford University have achieved by creating a jumpglider. Inspired by vertebrates like the flying squirrel, the flying fish and the flying snake, which use their aerodynamic bodies to extend their jumping range to avoid predators, the jumpglider combines an aeroplane-shaped body with a spring-based mechanical foot that propels the robot into the air. The researchers believe the jumpglider can be used in search and rescue efforts, operating at low power and offering a significant advantage over land-based robots by being able to navigate around obstacles and over rough terrain. In his opening editorial, Guest Editor of the special issue, Dr David Lentink, from Stanford University, writes: Flying animals can be found everywhere in our cities. From scavenging pigeons to alcohol-sniffing fruit flies that make precision landings on our wine glasses, these animals have quickly learnt how to control their flight through urban environments to exploit our resources. To enable our drones to fly equally well in wind and clutter, we need to solve several flight control challenges during all flight phases: take-off, cruising, and landing. This special issue provides a unique integration between biological studies of animals and bio-inspired engineering solutions. Each of the 14 papers presented in this special issue offer a unique perspective on bio-mimetic flight, providing insights and solutions to the take-off, obstacle avoidance, in-flight grasping, swarming, and landing capabilities that urban drones need to succeed. From Thursday 23 May, the special issue can be downloaded for free from http://iopscience.iop.org/1748-3190/9/2 A full package of videos and images can be downloaded from here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ufb4nq9stvyqja3/AADfEPGFAPqpijugkMrKK1Zda *** And its not only the air; drones have been set out to sea for weather collection data, protecting reefs, mapping the ocean floor, eating ocean garbage and other supposedly beneficial endeavors. However, once again, there is another side: DARPA is setting drones loose in the sea as part of their Hydra System which aims to connect various platforms into one overall surveillance grid for the ocean. The climate of budget austerity runs up against an uncertain security environment that includes natural disasters, piracy, ungoverned states, and the proliferation of sophisticated defense technologies, said Scott Littlefield, DARPA program manager, in a statement. An unmanned technology infrastructure staged below the oceans surface could relieve some of that resource strain and expand military capabilities in this increasingly challenging space. And that system seems clumsy compared to the plans for robot fish and all that could be offered by modeling other sea creatures. With the skies above covered by integrated airborne military systems like MUSIC including an array of MAV, and the seas below covered by Hydra and impending miniaturization there as well, were quickly heading toward complete autonomous drone coverage anywhere on earth and well never see it coming. All done with altruistic goals in mind? Highly doubtful. Source: Recently by Nicholas West: 
1	Scientists have long been labeled as overly serious, narrowly focused individuals who don't have time for fun. But two University of Chicago atomic physicists proved that even the most buttoned-down professionals are capable of enjoying a good laugh every now and then. Last week, Drs. Marcus Hurley and Thom Fredericks unveiled what they are calling their 'most hilarious work to date': an oversize novelty atom that measures 'a ridiculously huge' 8.2 x 10-10 meters in diameter. Scientists yuk it up over the atom's ridiculous size. According to Hurley and Fredericks, who nicknamed the new element 'Humongolium,' the entire physics department was in hysterics over the sight of an atom nearly 10 times the size of a normal atom and 'so big you can practically see it through a high-powered standard optical microscope.' Over the past week, the scientists have been taking their PZT scanner, microscale cantilever, laser, Wheatstone bridge, photodiode, and data-feedback monitor from office to office, trying to get a rise out of colleagues by placing the novelty atom directly next to a common hydrogen atom. 'Look at this thing,' said Hurley, who illustrated the size of the particle by holding his thumb right up next to his forefinger in an exaggerated fashion. 'And I thought Francium atoms were huge. It's almost as big as a molecule, for crying out loud!' 'God, it just looks so ridiculous,' Hurley added, chuckling and shaking his head in disbelief. 'Who comes up with this stuff?' Hurley and Fredericks have put off their research on the properties and applications of ferroelectric materials indefinitely, instead choosing to spend the majority of their time 'messing around' with the gigantic atom. In the past two days, they have each gotten their picture taken next to an oversize slide of the atom and e-mailed it to colleagues around the country, put Humongolium in a particle collider to see it smash other atoms into thousands of smaller particles, and irradiated several of the atoms to give them a 'goofy green glow.' 'We suspected that the creation of such a ludicrously enormous atom would be hilarious, but that hypothesis didn't fully prepare us for how truly funny the result would actually be,' Fredericks said. 'Man, no way we're getting any more work done this year.' According to post-doctoral stereochemist Kristy Schwarz, Hurley and Fredericks lured her into their lab Tuesday under the pretense of testing some lab equipment in order to surprise her with an image of the massive particle. 'They asked me to see if I thought there was anything wrong with their piezoelectric tube, and then gathered around with these eager looks on their faces as I checked it out,' Schwarz said. 'As soon as the image of that atom came on the screen, everyone just lost it. I nearly knocked over my model of a constitutional isomer, I was laughing so hard.' Although most of the UC scientists have seen the atom 'about 1,000 times' by now, they say they'll never get tired of what is coming to be known as 'the ultimate sight gag.' Several admitted that they haven't laughed like this since Hurley and Fredericks rearranged the lab's periodic-table poster in such an amusing fashion that the lanthanides and actinides were replaced with isotopes of alkali metals. 'At first, I thought [Humongolium] was just a covalent network crystal lattice, so I didn't know what everyone thought was so funny,' particle chemist Bryce Davidson said. 'When they told me that it was just one colossal atom, I started cracking up too.' He added: 'I know it's just a silly oversize atom, but because it maintained all the same physical properties of regular atoms, and because it still had the same tiny nucleus I'm used to seeingI dunno. I can't explain it, it's just funny when things are really big.' Some scientists, however, are no longer amused at the atom's exaggerated size. 'Come on. It's a big atomso what?' part-time lab assistant Bob Freedman said. 'That joke has a half-life of about 15 nanoseconds.' Although Hurley and Fredericks admitted that the humor of the novelty atom is 'a little broad,' they argued that it's refreshing to create material that even a molecular biologist will be able to appreciate. 'Sure, it's not as subtle as the parody atom Gurtzman and Kuusivaarta came up with last year,' Fredericks said. 'But no one really got that one. When you have to explain to people that neutrons are supposed to have a slightly larger mass than protonsnot the other way aroundin order for them to understand the joke, it's not funny.' 
3	What Are The Rules In A Robot/Human Society?Nicholas West The concerns are finally beginning to mount about the unintended consequences of creating something that has the potential to be smarter than us, while also achieving a startling level of independence. Robots are a physical presence that, like any physical presence, can potentially do harm. Until now, these considerations have been whispered by mainstream media as light afterthoughts in the shadow of the bright future that is sold to us with every new tech development promising an enhanced life of more productivity, better entertainment, and a longer life span. PBS takes a surprisingly alternative look at this narrative. We are already seeing the negative economic impacts of increased automation that are unparalleled since the Industrial Revolution. Self-driving vehicles, drone delivery and much more are in development for wide-scale rollout. The emergence of interconnected smart devices known as the Internet of Things is also rapidly taking shape with ATT, IBM and Google leading the way toward a matrix of centralized machine tracking and decision making of economic and social policies. We are seeing drones impact the rules of foreign wars and domestic surveillance. Each new development in the global drone arms race aims to perfect autonomous systems of data collection and target assessment. These systems should bring into question the legal and ethical underpinnings of their actions. As Peter Asaro, PhD correctly questions about drone warfare, If these things accidentally kill people or commit something that if it was done by a human we would consider it a war crime; now its being done by a machine, so is that just a technological error or is it a war crime? The fact that we are asking this question now, and there still is an insufficient answer, is indicative of the predicament in which we find ourselves. We are also seeing robotic elements being put in place in the medical field with everything from robotic pills that replace injections to DNA nanobots, bringing us to what futurist Ray Kurzweil has called the Human Body Version 2.0. Much like the questions surrounding warfare, the same line of questioning must be considered in the area of human health services. Who is ultimately responsible? Beyond the technology itself, however, there is the social impact of robots (especially emotional robots) as they become an increasing part of our daily interaction with the world. The PBS video highlights how empathy associated with functional human-to-human interaction is beginning to slowly shape the human-robot dynamic as well. Above all, this video does an excellent job of highlighting the speed at which all of this is taking place perhaps quite a bit faster than our considerations about potential worst-case scenarios. In the end, the types of robots we embrace might wind up to be a direct reflection of ourselves.

3	Cops to City Council: We Were Given an Illegal Traffic Ticket QuotaMelissa Melton But earlier this week, five police officers came forward to testify before the Waldo City Council that they are mandated to write a certain number of tickets each shift or face punishment even though such a quota stands in direct violation of state law. Waldo, by the way, only has seven police officers to begin with. The Gainesville Sun reported: Before a packed room, Officer Brandon Roberts told commissioners they were required by Chief Mike Szabo to write 12 speeding citations per 12-hour shift or face punishment. Roberts explained his claims with the help of an electronic presentation and printed emails as evidence. Were doing this with a heavy heart, Roberts said. We would never want to go against our fellow officers but we have no faith in our chain of command. It was also noted that apparently half of the citys $1 million budget comes from something officially listed as police revenue. The officers also accused Chief Szabo of enforcing questionable traffic stops and abandoning his post and disabling equipment so none of the department staff could find him. Szabo has since been suspended pending an investigation. Sadly, Waldo Police Cpl. Kenneth Smith, who was named interim chief following Szabos suspension, has also been suspended as well. At least its nice to see a few honest cops for a change Melissa Melton is a writer, researcher, and analyst for The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared, 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! 
1	Taking a long, slow drag off a joint, country-music legend Willie Nelson reflected on a lifetime of weed and women Monday. 'I've had some pretty fine times,' said a smiling Nelson between hits at his West Texas ranch. 'And some pretty fine ladies. Some of the names have escaped me, but the memories never will.' Nelson then retired to his backyard, where he drank beer and strummed his favorite guitar while watching the sun go down. 
2	Students Replace Under God With Under Allah In Pledge Students and teachers at Rocky Mountain High School in Colorado got quite the surprise when during the Pledge of Allegiance recited over the loudspeaker, they heard one nation under Allah rather than one nation under God. The Pledge of Allegiance is read every Monday at the high school. A member of the Cultural Arms Club decided to replace the word. Principal Tom Lopez has since gotten numerous complaints from angry parents, who believe that using Allah to replace God is unpatriotic. Lopez, however, is standing by his decision. These students love this country, he said, They were note being un-American in trying to do this. They believed they were accentuating the meaning of the words as spoken regularly in English. Danielle Clark, the communications director for the school district commented as well, We understand not everybody would agree with the students choice. Weve heard there are some who are upset. She defends the Arabic reading by pointing out that the Arms Club has a known history for reading the Pledge in different languageslike French and Spanish. Most students at Rocky Mountain High are defending their classmates, pointing to the motto of the Cultural Arms Club, which is to destroy the barriers, embrace the cultures. Student Skyler Bowden said, No matter what language its said in, pledging your allegiance to the United States is the same in every language. Meanwhile, Lopez has been accused of pushing a Muslim agenda. Ivebeen shocked with prejudicial statements that have been made, said Lopez. Ive been shocked with the lack of seeking understanding. Theres definitely suspicion and fear expressed in these peoples minds. Theres some hate. What do you think? Is it inappropriate to use Allah in place of God in our pledge? 
2	She Did THIS To Defy Shariah Law, And Was Arrested Minutes Later Former Miss Turkey Merve Buyuksarac is now a successful model in Turkey. Unfortunately, it looks like she may also be considered a criminal, after posting a contrroversial poem on her social media sites. According to reports, the poem mocked the current president of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Called The Masters Poem, the verse makes fun at the Turkish President, mocking him to the tune of Turkeys national anthem. Just minutes after she posted, she was warned by a friend that the content could be considered illegal by the government. Buyuksarac quickly deleted the post. Unfortunately, the damage was done. Police were knocking at her door within moments. I shared it because I found it funny, Buyuksarac told reporters. I had no intention to insult Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The Turkish government has taken a dark turn toward censorship, and this is just one example. They have been known to silence any content that talks negatively about the president or anyone in power. In fact, theyve even forced mail carriers to stop delivering Charlie Hebdo, the French satirical magazine that recently face terrorist attacks. What do you think? Did Buyuksarac deserve to be arrested? 
1	Acting under orders from U.S. Health And Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala, a battalion of heavily armed federal officers seized custody of neglected 9-year-old Jeffrey Boyd in a dramatic pre-dawn raid of his Ypsilanti home Monday. 'Jeffrey is finally safe and out of harm's way,' Shalala said of Boyd, whose parents were written up by Michigan's Department of Child and Family Services last month for 'failure to consistently provide proper supervision and nutritious meals.' Shalala added that the extreme measures were regrettable, but were necessary to enforce the law. 
3	Mexican Citizens Who Toppled Cartels Rewarded With Government RetaliationBrandon Smith 1) Admit that you do not need them anymore and fade into the fog of history, OR In either case, the citizenry gains the upper hand. Even in the event of government retaliation or a full-blown shooting war, dissenting movements maintain the moral high ground, which is absolutely vital to legitimate victory. No revolutionary movement for freedom can succeed without honoring this rule. All independent solutions to social destabilization and despotism rely on it. Any solutions that ignore it are destined for failure. I am hard-pressed to think of a better recent example of the non-participation principle in action than the rise of Mexican citizen militias in the Western state of Michoacn. The Mexican people have nowhere to turn; and this, in my view, has always been by design. Disarmed and suppressed while government-aided cartels bleed the public dry, it is no wonder that many Mexicans have turned to illegal immigration as a means of escape. The Mexican government, in turn, has always fought for a more porous border with the U.S. exactly because it WANTS dissenting and dissatisfied citizens to run to the United States instead of staying and fighting back. My personal distaste for illegal immigration has always been predicated on the fact that it allows the criminal oligarchy within Mexico to continue unabated without opposition. Unhappy Mexicans can simply run away from their problems to America and feed off our wide-open welfare system. They are not forced to confront the tyranny within their own country. Under this paradigm, Mexico would never change for the better. Some in the Mexican public, however, have been courageous enough to stay and fight back against rampant theft, kidnapping and murder. The people of Michoacn, fed up with the fear and subjugation of the cartels and the inaction of the government, have taken a page from the American Revolution, organizing citizen militias that have now driven cartels from the region almost entirely. These militias have decided to no longer rely upon government intervention and have taken independent action outside of the forced authoritarian structure. The fantastic measure of this accomplishment is not appreciated by many people in America. Though many cartels are populated by well-trained former Mexican military special ops and even covert operations agents, the citizens ofMichoacnhave proven that the cartels are a paper tiger. They can be defeated through guerrilla tactics and force of will, which many nihilists often deny is even possible. NPR reported: Joel Gutierrez, a militia member of the Michoacan region, says residents were sick of the cartel kidnapping, murdering and stealing. Thats why we took up arms, says Gutierrez, 19. The local and state police did nothing to protect us. The militia men have been patrolling their towns and inspecting cars at checkpoints like this one for nearly a year. All that time, federal police did little to stop them, and at times seemed to encourage the movement. But that tacit approval appeared to end last weekend, when the number of the militias mushroomed and surrounded Apatzingan, a town of 100,000 people and the Knights Templars stronghold. A major battle between the militias and the cartel seemed imminent. The federal government sent in thousands of police and troops to disarm the civilian patrols. A deadly confrontation ensued. Federal soldiers fired into a crowd of civilian militia supporters, killing two. Militia leader Estanislao Beltran says the government should have gone after the real criminals, the Knights Templar, and not those defending themselves. He vehemently denies rumors that he takes funds from a rival group. The cartels have been terrorizing us for more than a decade, Beltran says. Why would we side with any of them? Initially, local authorities encouraged the militias, or stayed out of their way. The citizens armed themselves with semi-automatic weapons, risking government reprisal, in order to defend their homes; and so far, they have been victorious. One would think that the federal government of Mexico would be enthusiastic about such victories against the cartels they claim to have been fighting against for decades; but when common citizens take control of their own destinies, this often incurs the wrath of the establishment as well. The Mexican government has decided to reward the brave people ofMichoacnwith the threat of military invasion and disarmament. In some cases, government forces have indeed fired upon militia supporters, killing innocents while exposing the true intentions of the Mexican political structure. Mainstream media coverage of the situation in the western states of Mexico has been minimal at best; and I find the more I learn about the movement in the region, the more I find a kinship with them. Whether we realize it or not, we are fighting the same fight. We are working toward the same goal of liberty, though we speak different languages and herald from different cultures. Recent government propaganda accusingMichoacnmilitias of working with rival cartels should ring familiar with those of us in the American liberty movement. We are the new terrorists, the new bogeymen of the faltering American epoch. We are painted as the villains; and in this, strangely, I find a considerable amount of solace. If the liberty movement were not effective in its activism, if we did not present a legitimate threat to the criminal establishment, they would simply ignore us rather than seek to vilify us. The militias ofMichoacnhave taken a stand. They have drawn their line in the sand, and I wish I could fight alongside them. Of course, we have our own fight and our own enemies to contend with here in the United States. As this fight develops, we have much to learn from the events in Western Mexico. Government retaliation has been met with widespread anger from coast to coast. And despite the general mainstream media mitigation of coverage, the American public is beginning to rally around the people of Michoacan as well. The non-participation principle prevails yet again. The liberty movement in the U.S. must begin providing mutual aid and self-defense measures in a localized fashion if we have any hope of supplanting the effects of globalization and centralized Federal totalitarianism. We must begin constructing our own neighborhood watches, our own emergency response teams, our own food and medical supply stores, and our own alternative economies and trade markets that do not rely on controlled networks. We must break from the system and, in the process, break the system entirely. Even now, we are beginning to understand the subversive transformation of our own law enforcement structure, and find a system designed to protect the criminal establishment, not the people. The FBI, for example, has recently changed the language of its primary mission statement, claiming that their goal is national security, not law enforcement. Police department across the U.S. are also changing how they interpret their mandate. U.S. courts have ruled that police departments do not have a constitutional duty to protect citizens from harm, rather, they simply exist to enforce legal code after a crime has already been perpetrated. This means that local police are no longer considered peace officers, but agents of bureaucracy who are not necessarily required to defend the citizenry from violent action. The terrors Mexican citizens face in Michoacn are coming to America, and if disarmament proponents have their way, we will have no means to stop it. I am growing increasingly exhausted with the incessant rationalizations of frightened activists posing as non-aggression proponents; the same kinds of people who refuse to even entertain the probability that physical self defense will be needed against corrupt government. The pungent smog of cowardice that follows them curls the nostrils, and the obvious transparency of their fear is a bit sickening. I wish I could convey how refreshing it is to witness a group of common people, regardless of nationality, with a set of brass ball bearings large enough to face off against government supported drug cartels notorious for mass murder and decapitation. If you want see into the future, into the destiny of America, I suggest you examine carefully the developments of the Michoacn region. It is no mistake that good men and women are being disarmed around the world, and America is certainly not exempt. Look at what happens when we are not helpless! We can crush cold and calculating drug cartels as easily as we can crush psychopathic government entities. We are capable of superhuman feats. We are capable of globalist overthrow. We are capable of unthinkable greatness, as long as we are not distracted by false solutions and false leaders who lure us away from localized action towards centralized non-events. The rise of Mexican non-participation groups gives me much hope for the future. For if the most corrupt and criminally saturated of societies can find it within themselves to fight, to truly fight, regardless of the obstacles and regardless of the supposed consequences, then there is a chance for us all. We must look beyond the odds of success and become men real men once again. We must face down evil, without reservation and without apprehension first by separating from the system, and then by standing our ground. We must be willing to risk everything; otherwise, there is absolutely nothing to gain.

2	Hillary Claims Bill Clinton Was A Better President Than Reagan Hillary Clinton has been notorious for supporting her husband relentlessly, but her latest statement that Bill is 100 times better than Reagan ever was in statistics has Republicans up in arms. Reagan played an immense part in the recovery process of the Great Recession, and Billwell, he played an interesting role. While reports indicate that Hillary has not yet made a decision whether or not to run for president in 2016, she did make some public claims about what is was like to watch her husband while she was first lady. Reagan has long been a favorite among Republicans, and Democrats have felt a similar way about Clinton. What do you think? Was Bill a better president than Reagan? Would you vote for Hillary if she ran for president? 
3	New Obama Initiative To Ban Guns For Some Social Security Recipients, Veterans, and DisabledWhenever one thinks the Obama administrations war on the Second Amendment couldnt get any more insane, Barack Obama prances onto the stage to prove everyone wrong yet again. Thats correct. When the Obama administration cant get its way by attacking gun owners head on, it merely turns to extorting the elderly and disabled whom it holds hostage via their need to receive Social Security benefits benefits I might add, that are owed to them. Thus, the Obama administration is pushing to prohibit Social Security benefit recipients from owning firearms if they lack the mental capacity to manage their own affairs, a move which the Los Angeles Times reports would affect millions of people whose disability payments for one reason or another are handled by other people. The ideais to bring the Social Security Administration under the jurisdiction of laws that regulate who gets reported to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), a database that was initially supposed to pertain to illegal immigrants, drug addicts, and felons. Of course, it should be pointed out that, with the exception of illegal immigrants, prohibiting American citizens who are not confined to a prison cell from owning weapons is itself unconstitutional. Clearly, the push to add the Social Security Administration and thus millions of SS recipients under this new policy is unconstitutional as well. Nevertheless, it is difficult to remember a time when a Presidential administration even pretended to be concerned with what the US Constitution had to say about anything. As the Los Angeles Times reports, There is no simple way to identify that group, but a strategy used by the Department of Veterans Affairs since the creation of the background check system is reporting anyone who has been declared incompetent to manage pension or disability payments and assigned a fiduciary. If Social Security, which has never participated in the background check system, uses the same standard as the VA, millions of its beneficiaries would be affected. About 4.2 million adults receive monthly benefits that are managed by representative payees. The Obama Administration and Social Security Administration have been crafting this new policy in relative secret. Finally informed about the issue, the National Rifle Association and the National Council on Disability are both opposing the initiative, the latter in opposition due to the fact that millions of disabled Americans will have their rights eviscerated as a result of this policy. Of the many enrolled who may be affected, disabled veterans are among the high risk category for having their Second Amendment violated.

I usually dont get upset about much. But when I read this, I felt my blood pressure go through the roof. No one will ever, ever come to my house and get my husbands guns. He has every right to own a gun, and I will not allow anyone to take away from him the only pleasure in life he has anymore, and that is hunting, fishing, and being outdoors. He was a hard worker all of his life, and then one day, a tree he was felling got him, and he nearly drowned when it pinned him. I had to take over the day to day stuff like our bank account, but this was only because of Social Security requirements. As long you dont register any fire arms, you are just fine, and they will not know who owns the fire arms. The Snowden leaks confirmed what many already suspected, that the NSA was recording and storing all electronic communication emails, phone conversations, faxes. All gun purchase background checks are conducted over the phone; the seller verbally communicates to the government agency all details of the purchase that the buyer has filled out on the form. So we have had a de facto national gun registration for years. This is why the gun grabbers are clamoring for background checks on private sales (Oregons new law goes into effect next month) so that even private sales will go into the NSA database. But even private sales are already in the database if buyer and seller have communicated electronically. The only gun sales that the government cant find are the ones between criminals that take place in a parking lot with no prior phone or email discussion of the sale. Yeah, I can see that what you mean, and its a lot worse than I thought. That mean we are screwed. How much lower are we going to allow Obama to drag our country down? He has no respect for us or America and is attacking all of us personally. He is tearing our Constitution apart and no one in congress is protecting us or our country. Why support any govt when ANY govt can be corrupted? why count on the congress to save us from the govt? when has any govt ever given back any power or liberty that it has taken (gay marriage? yay, how long did that take)? If they dont care about the constitution, why do we keep bringing it up? Like it is a garlic soaked crucifix against vampires? maybe the words on the paper were meant to remind the people that they are the power, not to be used as some childish shield against an unconcerned tyranny. Like the lady up top said, they look to divide us on every front. You want to blame obama and the dems? GOOD! you are right. take just as critical look at the other side and see that they are doing the same. The cameras are on and its hate, hate, hate for the other team. what goes on when the cameras arent around? Its not just Obama. All the politicians are backing him. Not one of them has brought impeachment charges against him. The republicans helped him pass TPP. We have a one party system that is carrying out Continuity of Government. And they are only interested in themselves their favorite Corporations, Wall Street the Banksters (The Too Big Too Jail). Congress doesnt do anything because the handfull of good Senators cant buck the rest and they all have their hands out for their share of the bounty! odd how the beast seems to think they have any rights over social security payments. To the beast it is another tax Right after the highly illegal Federal Reserve was formed in 1913, their owners created the IRS and FORCED those making $10,000 ( a very big amount at the time) or more annually into paying a 1% tax. Although illegal, just about no common folks objected because it didnt effect them. Today mostly the common folks pay the Unconstitutional income tax and far more than 1%. The moral is this, if you dont object to injustice done to others sooner or later when it comes around to you it will be too late to protest. 
2	Obamas FCC Might Allow Government Censorship According to reports, a Washington D.C. federal court recently heard arguments from a former Federal Communications Commission commissioner that the Obama FCCs new net neutrality rules might allow the government to censor media like Fox News or the Drudge Report. Oral arguments for the case began in the first week of December. The former commissioner, Harold Furchtgott-Roth partnered with an advocacy group to argue that the new rules treat broadband providers as conduits, not speakers. If rules such as these are not reviewed under the most rigorous scrutiny possible, government favoritism and censorship masquerading as neutrality will soon cascade to other forms of mass communication, the Center for Boundless Innovation wrote in their brief. Furchtgott-Roth added in a separate brief that the different ways the new plan treats broadband providers opens the door to government censorship, giving them control over what people see. In addition to compelling speech, the order impermissibly singles out broadband providers without imposing similar requirements on the speech of other Internet entities who also act as gatekeepers, he wrote. Fred Campbell, the president of the Center for Boundless Innovation in Technology, also told reporters that its new regulations on Internet service providers are also applicable to companies like Apple and Netflix, [and] the FCC could extend its regulatory reach much further in the future. This possibility raises the risk that Congress or the FCC could impose restrictions on Internet video and other services that have traditionally been imposed on over the air broadcasting and cable television, including the fairness doctrine that once put the government in charge of determining whether broadcasters were fairly representing both sides of an issue, Campbell concluded. What do you think? Are you tired of Obama pushing his agenda and stripping Americans of their rights in the process? We cannot let this happen. 
2	ISIS Supporting Muslim In Ohio Threatens Soldiers Lives According to recent reports, and Ohio man who supported ISIS recently posted the names and addresses of 100 members of the military on social mediacalling on the terrorist organization to take action and kill them. Fortunately, the 25-year-old traitor has just been charged by a grand jury with three counts each of solicitation of a crime and violence and threatening military personnel. Thats 300 charges against Terrence J. McNeil of Akron, and each charge carries a sentence of 20 years in prison. According to Assistant U.S. Attorney General John Carlin, McNeil solicited the murder of members of our military by disseminating violent rhetoric, circulating detailed U.S. military personnel information, and explicitly calling for the killing of American service members in their homes and communities. ISIS and ISIL have made a point of using social media to spark violence around the world and draw in new followers. We will remain vigilant in our efforts to stop those who wish to support these despicable acts, Stephen D. Anthony of the FBI Cleveland office said in a statement. What do you think? Are you happy McNeil got what he deserves? Will you pray for those that had their information compromised? 
1	Grasping for any way to halt the Democratic candidates momentum, a coalition of wealthy donors reportedly pumped millions of dollars into Bernie Sanders presidential campaign this week in a last-ditch effort to destroy his credibility. Unfortunately, our attempts to attack his message and brand him as a radical have had little effect on his poll numbers, so the only option left on the table was a massive, coordinated barrage of maximum-level contributions directly to his campaign, said hedge fund manager Robert Mercer, who, along with hundreds of other high-net-worth investors and major financial corporations, has funded a new super PAC known as Corporate America For Bernie, which has already debuted a series of laudatory, pro-Sanders television and radio ads aimed at undermining the candidate. Our strategy is to hit Bernie with a few million in direct support in New Hampshire, and then unleash an all-out flood of money into his pocket in the run-up to Super Tuesday. We have the resources to keep funding him for as long as it takes to get him out of the race. I can assure you that we will not hesitate to give upwards of $5 million or even $10 million apiece to Bernies campaign if thats what it takes to stop Bernies campaign. At press time, the newly cash-flush Sanders campaign was launching a series of attack ads targeting its own excessive wealth and influence. 
2	BREAKING: If You Rent Properties To Illegal Immigrants You Will Face 5 Years In Jail And... According to recent reports, landlords in the United Kingdom who rent properties to illegal immigrants will now face up to give years in prison. The action is part of a security increase announced by the government at the beginning of this week. The goal is to make it more difficult for illegal migrants to take up residence in the UK without permission. The law requires landlords to check the residency status of tenants before they enter into a lease agreement with them. Those who are caught violating the law could face a civil penalty of nearly $5,000 a night. What do you think? Should the Obama administration be taking a page out of their book? 
3	Your Artificial Knee Might Get You GropedAnn Pringle A twenty-something woman is running the back of her hand across the base of my breasts. I stand there, legs spread as she moves on to the inside of my thighs. She runs her hand underneath the waistline of my pants and across my buttocks. Im angry and embarrassed. The woman touching me seems embarrassed, too. When shes done her coworker, a young woman with a large neck tattoo poorly covered with makeup, rummages through my suitcase, purse, and laptop bag. Piece by piece, she pulls out my still-damp bathing suit, my underwear, and a few crumpled up dresses. She tosses my iPad aside, jiggles a bottle of prescription medicine, and stares at my EpiPen, bewildered. Shes enjoying thistoday she is in charge of me. Sad to say, if you fly often, youve likely had a similar experience. Mary Beth Ruskai, a 70-year-old Boston-based professor who counts proving that an atom with fixed nuclear charge can bind only finitely many electrons among her proudest achievementsalong with challenging the challenging Transportation Security Administrations policy of enhanced pat-downs in federal courtcertainly has. Artificial Joints Up Your Chance of an Enhanced Pat Down In the US, 4.5 million people over age 50 have artificial knees, and over 1 million people receive some type of total joint replacement each year. For these people, getting through airport security with their dignity intact can be next to impossible, largely because of TSAs current policy of performing enhanced pat-downs on anyone who sets off a walk-through metal detector.Enhanced pat-downs werent always de rigueur. Ruskai travels often for work, and after her right knee was replaced in 2008 (her left knee and right hip were also replaced in 2012) she began traveling with x-rays and other medical documents noting her metal joints. The Department of Homeland Security also cleared her as a Trusted Traveler, meaning shes already voluntarily provided copious amounts of personal information to DHS, and its determined shes a low-risk flier. When Ruskais metal knee set off walkthrough metal detectors prior to 2010, shed offer up medical documents noting the artificial joint, a female TSA agent would use a handheld metal detector to confirm that the metal on her was limited to her knee, and then the agent would pat down her knee area only. In other words, the process was annoying, but thats about it. Then in late 2010, the TSA began using enhanced pat-downs in lieu of handheld metal detectors for secondary screening at all security lines with walkthrough metal detectors. Though it began using Advanced Imaging Technology (full body scanners) in 2008which will cost taxpayers $2 billion by 2015 and presents its own privacy issuesaround 290 or so domestic security checkpoints still use walkthrough metal detectors as their primary mode of screening. And as youve likely noticed, full body scanners are often not operational at the airports that do have them. As pat-downs became the standard secondary screening measure, TSA also amplified what they involved. According to a brief filed by Ruskais attorneys: The new procedures involve a more detailed tactile inspection of areas higher on the thigh and in the groin area [and] routinely involve touching of buttocks and genitals. The agent is required to run the hand up the passengers thighs until reaching the groin twice on each legfrom the front and back. The agent also must insert the hand into the passengers waistband around the entire waste, and for female passengers, around the breasts. I squirmed just typing that out. Its exactly what happens. Ruskai filed complaints with TSA and DHS, and 10 months later TSA issued a final order stating it would not investigate her complaints. In April 2012, she petitioned the First Circuit Court of Appeals to review that order and determine, among other issues, whether the enhanced pat-downs violate her Fourth Amendment rights. The court heard oral arguments in January of this year, but it has not yet reached a decision. I wont regurgitate all of the 4th Amendment case law here. The abridged version is: the 4th protects you from unreasonable searches and seizures; airport security screenings are searches under the 4th Amendment; and, under narrow circumstances, including where the government seeks to prevent hazardous conditions, a warrantless, non-individualized search may be reasonable, depending on the seriousness of the hazard and the invasiveness of the search. While they wait for the court to decide whether routinely molesting travelers with artificial joints is reasonable, millions of seniors have limited options: avoid airplanes or only travel through airports that use full body scanners. Then again, theres no guarantee those full body scanners will be up and running when they make their way through security. I dont have an artificial joint, but for whatever reason TSA often singles me out for enhanced pat-downs. Maybe the freckles and blue eyes make me look dangerous. Regardless, Im applying to become a Trusted Traveler through TSA Pre in the hope that this will stop. If youre a US citizen or lawful permanent resident, have never been convicted of sedition, treason, murder, or other outrageous felonies, and have $85 to spare, consider doing the same. Yes, TSA Pre and the other Trusted Traveler programs require you to divulge personal information. And yes, its frightening that you might have to considering doing this to avoid airport groping. On balance, though, Id rather hand over personal information that the federal government surely has already than let another TSA agent stick her hand in my pantshow sad it is that anyone has to make that choice.

2	BREAKING: FEDERAL JUDGE MAKES HILLARY CLINTON INDICTMENT ANNOUNCEMENT Fox News host Jeanine Pirro has made a name for herself by speaking her mind without holding back. As a former county court and district attorney for Westchester County, she has had enough of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. This week, she spoke out about the possibility of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton being indicted for her use of a private email server while secretary of state. Pirro argues that if Clinton was to be indicted, Obama would be a witness in a criminal case, which would create a constitutional crisis. The reason she will not be indicted is because her first witness as a defendant in a criminal case is the president of the United States, Pirro commented. Because Hillary Clinton email President Barack Obama. He knew that she had a private email serverthat Hillary Clinton email dot com. So he is complicit and they will not allow a constitutional crisis where the president of the United States knew about the risking of security of the United States. What do you think? Do you believe Clinton will be indicted? FOX Friends (@foxandfriends) July 1, 2016

BBCs End Day presented five different scenarios of how the world might end, ranging from a tsunami near the Atlantic Ocean close to a comet over 2 miles wide. Other predictions include meteors, a Yellowstone eruption, and an earthquakebut all of the events go back to September 23, 2015. What do you think?

2	Mexican President To Trump: We Wont Pay For That F***ING Wall Perhaps one of the most controversial proposals that GOP front-runner Donald Trump has put forth is for a wall along the U.S. Mexico border. Now, Former Mexican President Vincente Fox is shooting down his plan by arguing that he wont be chipping in for any part of the structure. Im not going to pay for that f***ing wall! he told Jorge Ramos in an interview for Fusion. He should pay for it. Hes got the money. Fox says he is almost certain that Americans will not elect Trump to the White House, but he concerned about the results in the Nevada caucus, which showed him winning 44 percent of the Hispanic vote. I would like to know who those Hispanics are, because they are followers of a false prophet, Fox concluded. Hes going to take them to the desert, and if they think that they will benefit with an administration led by Donald Trump, theyre wrong. They must open their eyes. Please, you Hispanics in the U.S.open your eyes. This nation is going to fail if it falls into the hands of a crazy man, he concluded. Fox was the Mexican president from 2000 to 2006, so his comments should not be taken as policybut they likely have some bearing on the attitude of the current president. In fact, Felipe Calderon, his successor, has also argued that he will not pay for a border wall. What do you think? Do you believe Trump will build his wall? 
2	Darren Wilson Responds To Demands That He Apologize To Michael Browns Family Dont expect Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson to apologize to Michael Browns family according to his lawyers, that isnt going to happen, reports Time. Even if he gave the most heartfelt apology, theyd still not like it, attorney James Towey told the Washington Post. Wilsons team reminded the nation this week that, even though the grand jury decided not to indict him, his life is not back to normal. Wilsons address popped up online just days after the August incident in which he fatally shot Michael Brown. He was reportedly forced out of his home and moved in with a relative before having to pack up his things again and move into a quote-unquote permanent location. Wilsons lawyers also argue that he has become the poster child for bad race relations and that, aside from marrying another police officer named Barbara Spradling while the case was pending, he has bounced around from place to place and worn disguises because his life is constantly being threatened. I think I expressed to him, Do you realize your first call [back on the job] will be to a blind alley where youre executed? He took a pause for a minute, thought about it and said, Oh. That is the reality. Attorney Danielle Thompson added, At first [his thinking] was, I want to go back, Im a cop, I want to still be a cop. It took some time for him to realize that wasnt exactly going to be what happened. Sources: Time, The Washington Post/Photo Credit: Fibonacci Blue/Flickr 
2	THIS Controversial $1 Million Obama Family Purchase Will Have You Furious According to recent reports, when Barack Obama first took office in 2009, he decided to take Michelle on a date night to New York City to see a Broadway show. The trip required three jets full of security staff, who accompanies the Obamas on their trip and back. All so that the couple could have a fancy dinner in the Big Apple, and see the play Come and Gone, a story about black workers in the early 1900s. Sounds harmless enoughuntil you learn that the trip cost a whooping $1 million in taxpayer dollars. And 2009 was a time of serious recession in the United States. If only we knew at the time that this was only the beginning of the Obamas lavish spending habits

This is the final end of Islamic influence in our country, Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos said in a statement on Sunday, On Islam reported. The ban was first announced when Rosa Cruz e Silva, the Angolan Minister of Culture, claimed that the process of legalization of Islam has not been approved by the Ministry of Justice and Human rights; their mosques would be closed until further notice. Silva also went on to claim that a ban as necessary, given that Islam is contradictory to the customs of Angola culture. Keep in mind that Angolas population is predominantly Christian.

3	11 Reasons Why The Federal Reserve Should Be AbolishedMichael Snyder But why do we need a bunch of unelected private bankers to manage our economy and print our money for us in the first place? Wouldnt our economy function much more efficiently if we allowed the free market to set interest rates? And according to Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. Congress is the one that 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 is the Federal Reserve doing it? Sadly, this is the way it works all over the globe today. In fact,all 187 nations that belong to the IMF have a central bank. But the truth is that there are much better alternatives. We just need to get people educated. The following are 11 reasons why the Federal Reserve should be abolished #1 The Greatest Period Of Economic Growth In The History Of The United States Happened When There Was No Central Bank Did you know that the greatest period of economic growth in U.S. history was between the Civil War and 1913? And guess what? That was a period when there was no central bank in the United States at all. The following is from Wikipedia The Gilded Age saw the greatest period of economic growth in American history. After the short-lived panic of 1873, the economy recovered with the advent of hard money policies and industrialization. From 1869 to 1879, the US economy grew at a rate of 6.8% for real GDP and 4.5% for real GDP per capita, despite the panic of 1873. The economy repeated this period of growth in the 1880s, in which the wealth of the nation grew at an annual rate of 3.8%, while the GDP was also doubled. So if our greatest period of economic prosperity was during a time when there was no Federal Reserve, then why shouldnt we try such a system again? The United States never had a persistent, ongoing problem with inflation until the Federal Reserve was created in 1913. If you do not believe this, just check out the inflation chart in this article. The Federal Reserve systematically penalizes those that try to save their money. Inflation is a tax, and the value of each one of our dollars goes down a little bit more every single day. But over time, it really adds up. In fact, the value of the U.S. dollar has fallen by 83 percent since 1970. Anyone that goes to the grocery store on a regular basis knows how painful inflation can be. The following is a list that shows how prices for many of the things that we buy on a regular basis absolutely skyrocketed between 2002 and 2012 Eggs: 73% Even the price of water has absolutely soared in recent years. According to USA Today, water bills have actually tripled over the past 12 years in some areas of the country. So how can the Federal Reserve get away with claiming that we are in a low inflation environment? The truth is that the real rate of inflation is somewhere between five and ten percent right now, but you will never hear about this on the mainstream news. #3 The Federal Reserve Is A Perpetual Debt Machine The Federal Reserve system was designed to be a trap. The intent of the bankers was to trap the U.S. government in an endless debt spiral from which it could never possibly escape. But most Americans dont understand this. In fact, most Americans dont even understand where money comes from. If you dont believe this, just go out on the street and ask regular people where money comes from. The responses will be something like this Duh I dont know. Ive got to get home to watch American Idol. This is why it is so important to get people educated. I think that most Americans would be horrified to learn that the creation of more money in our system also involves the creation of more debt. The following is a summary of money creation that comes from one of my previous articles 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. So what does the Federal Reserve do with those Treasury bonds? I went on to explain what happens 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 understood that 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. Men like Thomas Edison and Henry Ford could not understand why we would adopt such a foolish system. For example, Thomas Edison was once quoted in the New York Times as saying the following That is to say, under the old way any time we wish to add to the national wealth we are compelled to add to the national debt. Now, that is what Henry Ford wants to prevent. He thinks it is stupid, and so do I, that for the loan of $30,000,000 of their own money the people of the United States should be compelled to pay $66,000,000 that is what it amounts to, with interest. People who will not turn a shovelful of dirt nor contribute a pound of material will collect more money from the United States than will the people who supply the material and do the work. That is the terrible thing about interest. In all our great bond issues the interest is always greater than the principal. All of the great public works cost more than twice the actual cost, on that account. Under the present system of doing business we simply add 120 to 150 per cent, to the stated cost. But here is the point: If our nation can issue a dollar bond, it can issue a dollar bill. The element that makes the bond good makes the bill good. Unfortunately, today most Americans dont even understand how the system works. They just assume that we have the best system in the entire world. Sadly, the reality is that the system is working just as the international bankers that designed it had hoped. The United States has the largest national debt in the history of the world, and we are stealing more than 100 million dollars from our children and our grandchildren every single hour of every single day in a desperate attempt to keep the debt spiral going. #4 The Federal Reserve Is A Centrally-Planned Financial System That Is The Antithesis Of What A Free Market System Should Be Why do we need someone to centrally-plan our financial system? Isnt that the kind of thing they do in communist China? Why do we need someone to tell us what interest rates are going to be? Why do we need someone to determine what the target rate of inflation should be? If we actually had a free market system, the free market would be the one managing our economy. For example,CNBC cannot possibly imagine a world where the Fed (or some similar institution) was not running things But suppose the law were taken off the books? The Feds jobin simple termsis to manage the nations money supply and achieve the sometimes-conflicting tasks of full employment, stable prices while fighting inflation or deflation. How would the U.S. economy then function? Something has to take its place, right? Ive got an idea lets let the free market manage U.S. interest rates and the American economy. #5 The Federal Reserve Creates Bubbles And Busts Do you remember the Dotcom bubble? Or what about the housing bubble? By dramatically distorting interest rates and financial behavior, the Federal Reserve creates economic bubbles and the corresponding economic busts. And guess what? Now it is happening again. When will the American people decide that they have had enough? If you can believe it, there have been 10 different economic recessions since 1950. And of course the Federal Reserve even admits that it helped create the Great Depression of the 1930s. Perhaps it is time to try something different. #6 The Federal Reserve Is Privately Owned It has been said that the Federal Reserve is about as federal as Federal Express is. Most Americans still believe that the Federal Reserve is a federal agency, but that is simply not true. The following comes from factcheck.org The stockholders in the 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks are the privately owned banks that fall under the Federal Reserve System. These include all national banks (chartered by the federal government) and those state-chartered banks that wish to join and meet certain requirements. About 38 percent of the nations more than 8,000 banks are members of the system, and thus own the Fed banks. And even the Federal Reserve itself has argued that it is not an agency of the federal government in court. So why is there still so much confusion about this? We should not be allowing a private entity that is owned and dominated by the banks to make decisions that dramatically affect the daily lives of all the rest of us. #7 The Federal Reserve Greatly Favors The Too Big To Fail Banks Since the Federal Reserve is owned by the banks, should we be surprised that it serves the interests of the banks? In particular, the Fed has been extremely good to the too big to fail banks. Over the past several decades, those banks have grown tremendously in both size and power. Back in 1970, the five largest U.S. banks held 17 percent of all U.S. banking industry assets. Today, the five largest U.S. banks hold 52 percent of all U.S. banking industry assets. #8 The Federal Reserve Gives Secret Bailouts To Their Friends The Federal Reserve is the only institution in America that can print money out of thin air and loan it to their friends any time they want to. For example, did you know that the Federal Reserve made 16 trillion dollars in secret loans to their friends during the last financial crisis? The following list is taken directly from page 131 of a GAO audit report, and it shows which banks received secret loans from the Fed Citigroup $2.513 trillion If you will notice, a number of the banks listed above are foreign banks. Why is the Fed allowed to print money out of thin air and lend it to foreign banks? #9 The Federal Reserve Is Paying Banks Not To Lend Money Did you know that the Federal Reserve is actually paying U.S. banks not to lend money? That doesnt make sense. Our economy is based on credit, and small businesses desperately need loans in order to operate. But the Fed has decided to pay banks not to risk their money. Section 128 of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 allows the Federal Reserve to pay interest on excess reserves that U.S. banks park at the Fed. So the big banks can just send their cash to the Fed and watch the money come rolling in risk-free. As the chart below demonstrates, the banks have taken great advantage of this tremendous deal Over the past ten years, the Federal Reserve has been an abysmal failure when it comes to running the economy. But despite a track record of failure that would make the Chicago Cubs look like a roaring success, Barack Obama actually decided to nominate Ben Bernanke for a second term as the Chairman of the Federal Reserve. What a mistake. Just check out some of the things that Bernanke said prior to the last financial crisis. The following is an extended excerpt from an article that I published previously ***** Weve never had a decline in house prices on a nationwide basis. So, what I think what is more likely is that house prices will slow, maybe stabilize, might slow consumption spending a bit. I dont think its gonna drive the economy too far from its full employment path, though. In 2005, Bernanke also said that he believed that derivatives were perfectly safe and posed no danger to financial markets. With respect to their safety, derivatives, for the most part, are traded among very sophisticated financial institutions and individuals who have considerable incentive to understand them and to use them properly. In 2006, Bernanke said that housing prices would probably keep rising. Housing markets are cooling a bit. Our expectation is that the decline in activity or the slowing in activity will be moderate, that house prices will probably continue to rise. In 2007, Bernanke insisted that there was not a problem with subprime mortgages. At this juncture, however, the impact on the broader economy and financial markets of the problems in the subprime market seems likely to be contained. In particular, mortgages to prime borrowers and fixed-rate mortgages to all classes of borrowers continue to perform well, with low rates of delinquency. In 2008, Bernanke said that a recession was not coming. The Federal Reserve is not currently forecasting a recession. A few months before Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac collapsed, Bernanke insisted that they were totally secure. The GSEs are adequately capitalized. They are in no danger of failing. ***** There are many, many more examples that could be listed, but hopefully you get the point. And now it is happening again. Bernanke is telling the American people that everything is going to be just fine and that no major problems are ahead. Do you believe him this time? #11 The Federal Reserve Is Unaccountable To The American People What is the most important political issue to most Americans? Survey after survey has shown that the American people care about the economy more than anything else. So why do we allow an unelected, unaccountable entity that is privately-owned to make our economic decisions for us? The Federal Reserve has become so powerful that it has been called the fourth branch of government. Every four years, presidential candidates argue about who will be best at managing the economy, but the truth is that it is the Fed that manages our economy. We are told that the independence of the Federal Reserve is absolutely critical, but dont the American people deserve to have a say in the running of the economy? Our system is broken. It is a system that will continue to create more bubbles and more debt until the entire thing finally collapses for good. Thomas Jefferson once stated 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 of banning government borrowing, we have allowed ourselves to become enslaved to a system where government borrowing actually creates our money. We do not need to have a central bank. There are much better alternatives. We just need to get people educated. Please share this article with as many people as you possibly can. These are things that every American should know about the Fed, and we need to educate the American people about the Federal Reserve while there is still time.

1	Late-night attempts to contact the spirit world proved more frustrating than enlightening for a slumber party of Strattanville teens Saturday when the only specter they were able to contact suffered from borderline illiteracy, sources said. The poorly educated revenant frustrated the sance participants, who quickly grew impatient with such otherworldly messages as 'W-U-R-N-N-GF-U-MB-A-Y-O-NT-H-EG-R-A-V' and other hard-to-interpret information. Organizer Olivia Bamberger, 13, said they were all 'embarrassed for the guy,' and finally asked the wraith to tell them the future and 'sound out the big words.' 
2	What Muslim Nurses Are Refusing To Do Is Helping Spread Ebola According to recent reports, the UK Department of Health recently made the decision to allow Muslim nurses to skip washing their hands before dealing with patients. The organizations call the new guidelines an attempt to balance infection control measures with cultural beliefs. Going forward, Muslim nurses will have the choice to wear disposable plastic over-sleeves instead of washing their hands prior to a procedure. This goes against Western medical practice, which calls for the scrubbing of hands and forearms prior to surgery to avoid infection. According to reports, Muslim nurses practicing Sharia law had complained that the public hand washing was compromising their modesty. Still, it is a risky decision to put a persons constitutional rights before the health and well being of patients. What do you think? Should Muslims be required to follow our medical procedures? 
3	Johns Hopkins Introduces Database of Childrens Brain ScansBrandon Turbeville For instance, it has recently been announced that Johns Hopkins University is in the process of creating a Google-style searchable digital library of childrens brain scans. The project will be supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health to the tune of $600,000 over three years under the guise of an attempt to greater assist doctors in the diagnosis of irregularities occurring in the brain. Doctors will also be able to compare the brain scans in order to identify changes in brain structure and, hopefully, identify diseases even earlier. As Michael Miller, a Johns Hopkins biomedical engineering professor and the lead researcher for the program states, Were creating a pediatric-brain data bank that will let doctors look at MRI brain scans of children who have already been diagnosed with illnesses like epilepsy or psychiatric disorders. It will provide a way to share important new discoveries about how changes in brain structures are linked to brain disorders. At the present time, the database only holds about 5,000 brain scans and only from children treated at Johns Hopkins. According to Anne-Marie Alcantara of Mashable.com, the scans are indexed and arranged into 22 different categories such as, psychiatric disorders, chromosomal abnormalities, vascular diseases, congenital malformations, infections, or epilepsy. As reported by The Hub, the news center from Johns Hopkins, the researchers, along with Marilyn Albert, a Johns Hopkins professor of neurology, the institution is attempting to expand this database to include the elderly as well. Johnathan Lewin, chief radiologist at Johns Hopkins Hospital has stated that This research is one of the first real applications of big-data analytics, taking medical information from large numbers of patients, removing anything that would identify specific individuals and then bringing the data into the cloud to allow very high-powered analysis. Although there is no mention of patient consent in the press release, one hopes (but one does not expect) that the individuals whose brain scans are added into the database are asked their permission before doing so. Another issue, however, is the ability of the medical establishment to upload such images to a database which is then uploaded to the Cloud, for other researchers to peruse. While it could scarcely be argued that such a development is a purely negative one, it should raise the eyebrows of anyone who is concerned about privacy and the growing web of interconnected systems in seemingly unrelated fields. We, as a people, have allowed ourselves to become encircled and entrapped by digital devices, databases, and promised convenience. Such developments as the brain scan database could indeed be used to greater improve the ability of doctors to diagnose illnesses or it could be used as a modern-day digital Cold Spring Harbor. Moreover, as Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak cautioned today, the Cloud is not NSA-proof, making it likely wide open to an array of government agencies and hackers of all stripes. In the case of standard personal data, this is troubling enough; but when information such as brain scans and DNA are introduced, it brings the threat to a whole new level. And make no mistake, the goal is to upload the entirety of who we are into the Cloud, as stated clearly by Ray Kurzweil who suggests that medical nanobots soon will act as sensors inside the brain and connect us directly to Cloud computing. Thus, while we must applaud scientific developments such as this one, we must also be vigilant to ensure that such developments are not used to surveil and enslave instead of creating increased freedom and improvement in our standards of living.

2	BREAKING: Texas Rangers Defy Obama, Sent To Defend The Border The crisis at the border seems to have no end in sight, and the government is yet to make any real moves to defend our country, and protect it from the tens of thousands of immigrants who are entering illegally. Instead, the administration seems keener on the idea of assisting those who are breaking our laws, providing them shelter and transporting them away from the border in buses and airplanes. Now, it appears that it may be up to civilians to defend the country that we love so dear. Troops from around the country have been gathering to assist in efforts to protect the border, and many small towns are protesting. In Texas, where federal law enforcement and border security personnel have been significantly pulled back, Governor Rick Perry has been forced to use Texas lawmen to help protect against the influx of migrants. Now, the state is spending more than a million dollars a day to keep watch over the border, and have even enlisted help from the Texas Rangers. Still, fears continue to rise that we are diverting our lawmens attention where government agents should be involved. Some are concerned that doing so leaves room for an increase in crime rates. What do you think? Is it time for Congress to step up to the plate and start taking action?

2	Sheriff Joe Launches Investigation Into Obamas Forged Birth Certificate Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who is known for publicly questioning the authenticity of Obamas birth certificate, claims that he has enough evidence to make an arrest. Now, he claims his only goal is to figure out who is behind the forged document. In an interview with Chris Pareja on KMTV 15, Arpaio claims that it is his goal to take down anyone who has been involved in the process. Arpaio has started a group led by investigator Mike Zullo, which will be used to track down the origin of the certificate. The group claims that the long form birth certificate had over 20 different forgeries within it. Arpaio went on to explain that his investigation has shifted from Obama, and on to who within the Hawaiian government helped him commit the crime. Nobody wants to touch it, but Im still trying to find out who was behind it, Arpaio claimed in the interview, Its a felony! Im locking people up every day for forged documents that are here illegally. What do you think? Should the public be paying more attention to the questionable documents?

1	According to a Pew Research Center poll conducted this week, the overwhelming majority of Americans admitted they would actually be fairly interested in having a magnetic, forceful dictator oversee and control all aspects of American society. Citing the relative simplicity of the citizens role in a totalitarian state, the U.S. populace said it could definitely see itself supporting a decisive, iron-willed demagogue, with citizens agreeing that the idea of entrusting all political, economic, social, and military decisions to a single bold despot actually sounded pretty good to them. When I think about it, submitting my will and personal beliefs to an all-powerful leader doesnt seem half bad, said survey respondent Jillian Medrano of Cocoa Beach, FL, who referred to the democratic process as kind of a hassle. I dont really want to bother with forming opinions about candidates or weighing multiple viewpoints on an issue, so if an egomaniacal autocrat just got up on a balcony and delivered a political message that we all had to support without question, it would make things a lot easier for me. Citizens all across the nation agreed that seeing sights such as this on a regular basis might be pretty inspiring. Theres just something kind of nice about throwing your hands up and letting a tyrannical demagogue tell you what to do, where to go, and how to think, Medrano added. As long as Im not in one of the ethnic or religious groups hes arbitrarily chosen to persecute, I think it would actually be pretty cool. According to the Pew survey, 71 percent of Americans would be okay with blindly adopting the views and goals of an electrifying military ruler, while 84 percent of citizens admitted they would prefer waiting in line at a set place and time to receive food rations, basic household provisions, and medications from the state instead of having to rely on themselves to choose and procure such necessities. In addition, 98 percent of U.S. citizens said they would gladly welcome an omnipotent one-party government apparatus that could quickly and effectively deal with societal problems as it saw fit without any input from them whatsoever. Theres a streamlined aspect to authoritarianism thats very appealing to the modern American citizen, said the director of the University of Chicagos Sociology department Ellen Ornelas, who went on to explain that time-consuming citizen obligations like jury duty would be made obsolete by totalitarian statehood, which summarily convicts offenders without a trial of their peers. Its a comparatively freeing model of civic engagement that requires nothing more than unquestioning obedience to a strong, charismatic leader with an ironclad vision for the future, and todays U.S. population thinks its a style of government they could get behind. In addition to the appeal of simply kicking back and relinquishing responsibility to someone else, Americans said there were a number of other added perks associated with installing an authoritarian government. In particular, citizens expressed interest in succumbing to the seductive energy of a cult of personality; adopting a fervent, cohesive sense of national unity; and partaking in the ceremonial grandeur of military parades in which big, shiny missiles would be driven through the streets of major U.S. cities to cries of Long live our leader! Moreover, American citizens claimed they would feel a sense of comfort by seeing photographs, murals, and statues of the dictator in every public space throughout the country, saying that, in a way, it would almost be as if a protective father figure were always watching over them. While many survey respondents acknowledged that forced labor camps and widespread shortages of electricity would be less than ideal, they affirmed that such negative aspects of the totalitarian regime would be more than offset by the attractive prospect of never again having to make any major decision about their lives. All Im saying is if a dynamic, larger-than-life personality in military regalia seized control of the government and said this is how its going to be from now on, I think Id be up for it, said Virginia resident Jonathan Bunn, who admitted that learning a few formal salutes and spontaneously crying in joy whenever the leader appeared in public actually sounded kind of fun. It would be a huge load off to just give in to a megalomaniacal despots grand, stirring rhetoric and no longer be burdened with having to engage in any critical thought whatsoever. I could definitely get on board with that. I think we should just give an autocratic state a shot for a decade or two and see how it goes, Bunn added. Its not like I vote anyway, so it wouldnt even be that big a deal.

3	The U.S. Economy By The Numbers: 70 Amazing Facts That Barack Obama Does Not Want You To SeeMichael Snyder, Contributor Sometimes it is difficult to communicate dozens of complicated economic and financial concepts in a package that the average person on the street can easily digest. It can be very frustrating to know that something is true but not be able to explain it clearly to someone else. Hopefully many of you out there will find the list below useful. It is a list of 70 numbers that show why we are headed for a national economic nightmare. So why does the title of the article single out Barack Obama? Well, it is because right now he is the biggest cheerleader for the economy. He is attempting to convince all of us that everything is just fine and that the economy is heading in a positive direction. Well, the truth is that everything is not fine and things are about to get a whole lot worse. Certainly others should share in the blame as well. Congress has been steering the economy in the wrong direction for decades, the too big to fail banks have turned Wall Street into a pyramid of risk, leverage and debt, and the Federal Reserve has more power over the financial system than anyone else does. Our economy has been in decline for quite a while now, and soon we are going to smash directly into an economic brick wall. Unfortunately, a lot of Americans are in denial about this. A lot of people out there doubt that an economic collapse is coming. Well, if you know someone who believes that the U.S. economy is going to be just fine, just show them the list below. The following are 70 facts that Barack Obama does not want you to see. 22 It is hard to believe, but today the poverty rate for children living in the United States is a whopping 22 percent. 23 According to U.S. Representative Betty Sutton, an average of 23 manufacturing facilities permanently shut down in the United States every single day during 2010. 30 Back in 2007, about 10 percent of all unemployed Americans had been out of work for 52 weeks or longer. Today, that number is above 30 percent. 32 The amount of money that the federal government gives directly to Americans has increased by 32 percent since Barack Obama entered the White House. 35 U.S. housing prices are now down a total of 35 percent from the peak of the housing bubble. 40 The official U.S. unemployment rate has been above 8 percent for 40 months in a row. 42 According to one survey, 42 percent of all American workers are currently living paycheck to paycheck. 48 Shockingly, at this point 48 percent of all Americans are either considered to be low income or are living in poverty. 49 Today, an astounding 49.1 percent of all Americans live in a home where at least one person receives benefits from the government. 53 Last year, an astounding 53 percent of all U.S. college graduates under the age of 25 were either unemployed or underemployed. 60 According to a recent Gallup poll, only 60 percent of all Americans say that they have enough money to live comfortably. 61 At this point the Federal Reserve is essentially monetizing much of the U.S. national debt. For example, the Federal Reserve bought up approximately 61 percent of all government debt issued by the U.S. Treasury Department during 2011. 63 One recent survey found that 63 percent of all Americans believe that the U.S. economic model is broken. 71 Today, 71 percent of all small business owners believe that the U.S. economy is still in a recession. 80 Americans buy 80 percent of the pain pills sold on the entire globe each year. 81 Credit card debt among Americans in the 25 to 34 year old age bracket has risen by 81 percent since 1989. 85 85 percent of all artificial Christmas trees are made in China. 86 According to one survey, 86 percent of Americans workers in their sixties say that they will continue working past their 65th birthday. 90 In the United States today, the wealthiest one percent of all Americans have a greater net worth than the bottom 90 percent combined. 93 The United States now ranks 93rd in the world in income inequality. 95 The middle class continues to shrink 95 percent of the jobs lost during the last recession were middle class jobs. 107 Each year, the average American must work 107 days just to make enough money to pay local, state and federal taxes. 350 The average CEO now makes approximately 350 times as much as the average American worker makes. 400 According to Forbes, the 400 wealthiest Americans have more wealth than the bottom 150 million Americans combined. $500 In some areas of Detroit, Michigan you can buy a three bedroom home for just $500. 627 In 2010, China produced 627 million metric tons of steel. The United States only produced 80 million metric tons of steel. 877 20,000 workers recently applied for just 877 jobs at a Hyundai plant in Montgomery, Alabama. 900 Auto parts exports from China to the United States have increased by more than 900 percent since the year 2000. $1580 When Barack Obama first took office, an ounce of gold was going for about $850. Today an ounce of gold costs more than $1580 an ounce. 1700 Consumer debt in America has risen by a whopping 1700% since 1971. 2016 It is being projected that the Chinese economy will be larger than the U.S. economy by the year 2016. $4155 The average American household spent a staggering $4,155 on gasoline during 2011. $4300 The amount by which real median household income has declined since Barack Obama entered the White House. $6000 If you can believe it, the median price of a home in Detroit is now just $6000. $10,000 According to the Employee Benefit Research Institute, 46 percent of all American workers have less than $10,000 saved for retirement, and 29 percent of all American workers have less than $1,000 saved for retirement. 49,000 In 2011, our trade deficit with China was more than 49,000 times larger than it was back in 1985. 50,000 The United States has lost an average of approximately 50,000 manufacturing jobs a month since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001. 56,000 The United States has lost more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities since 2001. $85,000 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. $175,587 The Obama administration spent $175,587 to find out if cocaine causes Japanese quail to engage in sexually risky behavior. $328,404 Over the next 75 years, Medicare is facing unfunded liabilities of more than 38 trillion dollars. That comes to $328,404 for each and every household in the United States. $361,330 This is what the average banker in New York City made in 2010. 440,00 If the federal government began right at this moment to repay the U.S. national debt at a rate of one dollar per second, it would take over 440,000 years to totally pay it off. 500,000 According to the Economic Policy Institute, America is losing half a million jobs to China every single year. 2,000,000 Family farms are being systematically wiped out of existence in the United States. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the number of farms in the United States has fallen from about 6.8 million in 1935 to only about 2 million today. $2,000,000 At this point, the U.S. national debt is rising by more than 2 million dollars every single minute. 2,600,000 In 2010, 2.6 million more Americans fell into poverty. That was the largest increase that we have seen since the U.S. government began keeping statistics on this back in 1959. 5,400,000 When Barack Obama first took office there were 2.7 million long-term unemployed Americans. Today there are twice as many. 16,000,000 It is being projected that Obamacare will add 16 million more Americans to the Medicaid rolls. $20,000,000 The amount of money the U.S. government was spending to create a version of Sesame Street for children in Pakistan. 25,000,000 Today, approximately 25 million American adults are living with their parents. 40,000,000 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. 46,405,204 The number of Americans currently on food stamps. When Barack Obama first entered the White House there were only 32 million Americans on food stamps. 88,000,000 Today there are more than 88 million working age Americans that are not employed and that are not looking for employment. That is an all-time record high. 100,000,000 Overall, there are more than 100 million working age Americans that do not currently have jobs. $150,000,000 This is approximately the amount of money that the Obama administration and the U.S. Congress are stealing from future generations of Americans every single hour. $2,000,000,000 The amount of money that JP Morgan has admitted that it will lose from derivatives trades gone bad.

1	New data released by the Foreign Trade Division of the U.S. Census Bureau has found that the United States exported over 6 billion tons of crude web content last year, outpacing all other developed nations as the worlds largest producer of unrefined digital information. What were seeing is a 15 to 20 percent yearly increase in crude web content production, which is the largest rise in annual output since the United States first started exporting unfiltered web content in the early 1990s, the report read, noting a continued increase in raw U.S. web content and crude materials such as listicles, memes, YouTube videos made by 15-year-olds, GIFs of animals defecating, author Tucker Maxs personal website, girl-on-girl pornographic thumbnails, theCHIVE.com articles, and over 80 percent of all Facebook status updates. Fortunately, new technology has made it cheaper and easier than ever to pump out billions of tons of crude web forum commentary, tweets, and other internet content per year, though with domestic consumption of such content rising, U.S.-based producers will have to increase output further if they want to meet the demand for new celebrity beach body slideshows and UFC fan pages. The report added that though the United States is nearly 90 percent independent in crude web content production, it still imports millions and millions of tons of garbage from Japan each year.

2	Mob Of Students Do THIS To Female Police Officer After School There was a brawl after school at William Allen High School, where over 200 students attacked 4 police officers. All four officers were injured. One was female, who got it particularly bad. Three students were arrested for the beating. Most of the other 200 students were watching and cheering them on. Many students got away, but the three that were arresting will be facing heavy charges. The police say that all of the injured officers will be ok. Will you pray for their fast recovery? 
1	Part-time dishwasher and self-described 'utter failure' Eric Mayhew opted to call in sick and spend the rest of the day in bed Monday, and may do so again tomorrow, sources said. Utter failure Eric Mayhew. Reasons cited for the decision to remain in bed include: overall misery, desire to withdraw from all human contact, and the lack of any point in getting up to face another day of the pathetic charade of his totally wasted existence. 'I knocked on his door for a long time. I don't know if he didn't hear me or what,' said Tom Worland, a former roommate of Mayhew's from the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point, where the two briefly attended classes before dropping out in 1991. 'He's pretty much a loner nowadays. To be honest, I don't see much of him anymore.' The 24-year-old Mayhew, who for the last several years has eked out a partial subsistence at various minimum-wage menial-labor jobs and has been rescued from insolvency by his parents on more than one occasion, hit the 'snooze' button on his alarm clock 11 times before finally venturing out of bed long enough to call in sick to work, using a neighbor's phone because of his own line's disconnection for non-payment of his February bill. He spent the mid-morning staring into space, picking dead skin off his feet, and listening to Jesus & Mary Chain's Psychocandy before leaving his room again at approximately noon to urinate. Upon returning to bed, Mayhew reportedly listened to the CDa gift from a girlfriend who broke up with him 17 months agothree more times before taking it out of the stereo and snapping the disc in half. 'I tried calling her, like, last April, but she just yelled, 'Loser!' seven or eight times and then hung up,' said Mayhew, speaking to reporters through the mail slot of his tiny one-room apartment. 'I guess she just hates me now. And who could blame her? I'm a sad, worthless, empty shell of a pitiful excuse for a human being.' Mayhew also reread, for the 29th time, Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast Of Champions, a book he calls 'one of the most horribly depressing depictions of humanity's essential pointlessness ever written.' He then spent the remainder of the afternoon watching re-runs of Saved By The Bell on the sole channel his television can pick up, accelerating his descent into a nightmare hellscape of unrelenting horror. Mayhew's view for the past 26 hours. 'I hate that fuckwad Slater so much,' he said, 'but I despise that fucking Screech bastard even more. Whenever he's on the screen, I just stare at him, mumbling, 'Die, die, die.' I don't know why I even bother to watch it. I guess it's either that or staring at the wall.' Mayhew then kicked the television over and began staring at the wall. While it is not known how Mayhew will occupy himself during the remainder of his time in bed, it is widely believed that he will berate himself under his breath, pausing every half hour or so to break down into desperate, half-choked sobs. He is also expected to draw squiggly shapes on a crumpled Taco Bell napkin with a magic marker; halfheartedly masturbate twice; and restore his television to an upright position sometime around 10 p.m. to watch reruns of Star Trek: The Next Generation. It is unknown whether he will repeat these activities tomorrow. Observers attribute Mayhew's utter failure of a life to a variety of factors. His lack of any employable skills makes him ill-suited for all but the most degrading menial jobs, few of which offer a living wage, leaving him in constant poverty and debt. His lack of health insurance, coupled with a diet consisting almost exclusively of Saltines and Tang, has contributed greatly to the deterioration of his physical and mental well-being. And his substandard personal hygiene, caused by his low self-esteem, as well as his enormous emotional neediness, make him extremely unattractive to members of the opposite sex as a potential romantic partner. Mayhew dismissed such explanations. 'The reason I'm such a loser is obvious,' he said. 'I'm such a pathetic fucking loser because I'm a worthless goddamn dorko motherfucking gaywad asshole useless piece of shit, that's why.' 'Duh,' he added, snapping the mail slot shut.

1	Gathering around the kitchen table to pick out their favorites, all four members of the Johnson household eagerly dug into a 38-piece AstraZeneca pill sampler that they received as a holiday gift, sources confirmed Friday. I like the blue-and-red ones a lot, but Ill pretty much eat any of them except for the yellows; I always leave those for Dad, said 12-year-old Evan Johnson, who added that out of the boxs assorted painkillers, decongestants, estrogen supplements, and antipsychotic medications, he enjoys the ones with a codeine-based gel filling the best. Its also kind of fun to grab one without knowing whats inside and try to guess what youve taken. Last year, I got a beta blocker and it was really gross, though, so maybe Ill just look at the little guide and only pick out the good ones. At press time, each of the family members had reportedly taken too many pills and was complaining of stomach discomfort, dizziness, and blurred vision. 
3	CDC Whistleblower: Submit to A Live Interview and Open Source All DocumentsBy Jefferey Jaxen It has officially been over one year since the senior scientist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention publicly admitted that he, and his co-authors (DeStefano Boyle), committed research fraud. Not a finger has been lifted in the name of justice. The reason this is still being written about today is because of the tireless work of parents, often times single parents in severe financial strife, keeping the story relevant on social media, through word of mouth in their communities and constant communication to their representatives. One can only imagine that political representatives, upon hearing the depth and scope of what is potentially at stake, have curled into balls of inactivity preferring to pass the problem on to the next office holder. To a public thoroughly left in the dark to sift through rumors and gobble up crumbs of info, it appears that congressman Bill Posey, representing Floridas 8th District, is the only person with honor and integrity left holding an official position. And that, unfortunately, has not been enough to turn the tide of apparent corruption at the CDCs vaccine division, lack of momentum at the Justice Department and U.S. House of Representatives. It is approaching one month since Congressman Posey stood before the U.S. House of Representatives and delivered further bombshell evidence from personal statements, previously not available to the public, from the CDC whistleblower Dr. William Thompson. In fact, Congressman Posey has been in possession of these documents since it was reported on September 8th, 2014. Sadly, Poseys plea to the House of Representatives has fallen on deaf ears even as he concluded I beg, I implore my colleges on the appropriations committees to please please take such action. After attempting to bring the proper attention to Dr. Thompsons statements and their larger impact on medical freedom, the gloves are now off. Unlike the notorious whistleblowers of recent times, Julian Assange and Bradley Manning who were simply releasing information of crimes that had been committed. Dr. Thompson differs in the fact that his whistleblowing involves crimes he is admitting participation in. Dr. Thompson, as it stands today, from your own admissions, you are a criminal and should be punished. According to your own admissions, you and your co-authors participated in actively concealing (destroying) key data to commit research fraud concerning a link between vaccines and autism-like symptoms in children. Furthermore, you remained silent for years while childrens lives were destroyed, according to your own admissions. How you are still a free man at this time is anyones guess. Your courage to speak the truth is admirable, and may the weight of your sentence, and soul, reflect that. Currently, Representative Posey has offered his entire set of documents given to him by Dr. Thompson to any and all members of Congress for review. This is not acceptable. Given what is at stake, the opportunity to put eyes on these documents does not belong solely to the good ole boys club. The fact that We The People need to beg our representatives to care enough to look at these documents from Posey is pathetic. Furthermore, the crimes admitted to by Dr. Thompson continue to affect our communities daily while we wait for our representatives to care. Just because you begged the U.S. House of Representatives to look at the case Mr. Posey doesnt mean that we will do the same. The precedent has already been set by the likes of Assange and Manning for lesser crimes with smaller scopes of implications. We The People demand that all documents in your possession, that you are already willing to give to representatives, be open sourced immediately online for the public to access. The American population consists of amazingly talented, active and retired lawyers, doctors, investigative journalists and medical researchers that will passionately consume every page with pleasure. In addition, since no justice is being served, Dr. Thompson is requested by The People to submit himself to a live interview, via YouTube, Livestream or other live-streaming platform. Investigative Journalist Jon Rappoport has been the first to honestly report on the CDC whistleblower and has continued to do so to this day. It is fitting that Mr. Rappoport, a 30-year veteran reporter and Pulitzer Prize candidate, conduct the live interview. Dr. Thompson has expressed concern that he does not want to lose his tenure and retirement from the CDC by risking testimony or submitting to interviews outside of an official subpoena. This can be solved by a simple IndieGoGo campaign to accommodate his financial needs in the event he is fired or let go from the CDC. The price tag of our childrens health, the health of future generations and the rule of law will raise whatever capital needed. Name your price Dr. Thompson. Jefferey Jaxen is an independent journalist, writer, and researcher. Focusing on personal empowerment and alternative health, his work reveals a sharp eye to capture the moment in these rapidly changing times. His personal page is located at JeffereyJaxen.com. I SUPPORT Mr. Jaxens remarks 1,000%, plus offer my time and talent(s) to review any documents Dr. Thompson or Rep. Posey will make available to journalists and/or as open source documents. Releasing those documents is paramount to transparency in science and medical ethics. There should be a congressional investigation into the contrived release of fraudulent information to news agencies during the tenure of Julie L. Gerberding, MD, as chief of the CDC. The information revealed by Dr. Thompson is adequate to suggest that Dr. Gerberding intentionally defrauded Americans, the field of medicine and quality-control standards included in federal statute, during her tenure. Government has become disgusting. Unlikely they will act unless forced. They depend on pharma donations for their campaigns and Pharma is a huge source of campaign money. As always, follow the money. So thompsons or any other whistleblowers tenure, position of power, or retirement trumps the health of our worlds children? Damn thats progressive. Myopic psycopaths in power will eventually be tried and jailed . losing their property, power, pensions, health plan, 401Ks, freedom, and life in one fall (after a biased trial modeled after our current system). think reconcilation and nuremberg from s. Africa to germany post WW2. So CDC or government psychos be real careful what you put on the record by whatever retrievable media. 
1	An action-packed chase through the subway tunnels beneath London's famed Victoria Station, culminating in a climactic, pulse-pounding fight sequence atop a speeding double-decker bus, did not occur Monday, when a terrorist bomb exploded on a crowded downtown bus after not being defused at the very last moment. The aftermath of a deadly terrorist attack that was not averted in an edge-of-your-seat finale. The bombing, which killed 22 and seriously injured at least 30 more, ranks among the worst incidents of terrorism to hit London in years and was not presented in THX digital Surroundsound. 'That's it, scumnow it's time to take out the trash,' a grim-faced CIA agent, who had been working closely with a team of Britain's top anti-terrorism experts, did not say moments before defeating the leader of a mysterious terrorist organization in a deadly, desperate encounter atop the speeding bus. 'It was horrible, just horrible,' said a visibly shaken Edith Nesbitt, 38, a London homemaker whose 12-year-old daughter Annalee was badly injured in the explosion. 'Everywhere you turned, there was smoke and death. So much senseless pain and suffering. How could anybody do something like this?' Annalee is currently listed in critical condition at a local hospital after not being pulled out of harm's way by a man who lost his own family to a terrorist attack years before and swore never to let another child suffer again, no matter what the cost. London police officials do not yet know whether the deadly attackwhich was not accompanied by selections from today's hottest acts, including hits by The Chemical Brothers, Foo Fighters and Method Manwas the work of a militant faction of the IRA, Palestinian extremists, or an individual not affiliated with a terrorist organization. However, evil criminal masterminds bent on destroying the world from their top-secret, high-tech undersea headquarters have been 'definitely ruled out' as suspects. In addition, no psychopathic former FBI demolitions experts who went insane after the deaths of their wives, which to this day they blame on the government agents who originally trained them to be killers, have stepped forward to claim responsibility for the tragedy. And no streamlined black helicopters, dangling rope ladders from which trained SWAT teams dropped onto the bus at high speeds, arrived on the scene just in time to freeze the bomb's homemade timer casing with liquid nitrogen, saving the lives of the dozens of innocent people on board. An ambulance carrying victims not pulled from harm's way by anyone's recklessly brave actions. 'Out of nowhere, nobody suddenly leapt onto the bus from the roof of a nearby building, tackling the foul villain behind this unthinkable act,' said shopkeeper Thomas Kent, who lost most of his right arm in the blast. 'Then, after stopping the mad bomber's plan, nobody got the girl, grabbing her roughly about the waist and kissing her slightly smudged face as the credits rolled.' Added Kent: 'The doctors say my wife may not survive the night.' Though top Scotland Yard officials have assigned a special team to investigate the crime, they currently have no leads regarding the identity of the culprits or a possible motive. The officials also have not surprised any onlookers by swimming alive to the surface of the Thames River after driving any speeding sportscars into the river in slow motion, momentarily causing people to think they'd been killed before emerging unharmed. 'We are slowly sifting through the forensic evidence, but it is still far too early to draw any definitive conclusions about this bombing,' Scotland Yard spokesman Winston Crawford told reporters at a Monday press conference, not held in a room in which any special supercomputer swivels out from behind a giant antique bookcase. 'At this point, all we really know is that none of us have recently slept with any stunning, exotic-looking foreign women who may or may not be working for the Russians, and that there may be as many as a dozen more bodies still underneath the rubble that rescue workers have yet to locate and identify.' When asked if police have come across any secret satellite photos, coded messages, or double-dealing informants who have revealed a way to track the deadly bombers to their lair, surround them with an elite assault team, and somehow, against all odds, stop them before they kill again, Crawford replied, 'No.' 
3	US Is Not Wanted In Iraq - ISIS to the Rescue With Gladio Style Explosions EverywhereBy Bernie Suarez Their now clearly visible plans to keep the Middle East destabilized (PNAC plans) and the crucial role played by their Islamic State proxy army or ISIS is undeniable. It is apparent that their intent is to continue attacking nations that decide its time for the US to leave. This is exactly the situation in Iraq where the people have been clear with their message to the US Withdraw or be dealt with. They want the US out of their country and to never come back. Its like a landlord trying to evict a bad tenant who is making life difficult for the other tenants. The reality is that the US empire is no less aggressive about their plans than any other empire in human history and they will not leave as they have been asked to. Their intent is to create as much havoc and instability as possible so that they can argue that Iraq somehow needs the US to stay in their country in order to fight ISIS and provide the Iraqi people with safety. This is the story the unassuming sheeple will be asked to believe by the mainstream media Intelligence apparatus. Looming in the background of this delusional storyline is the assumption that the US is somehow required to provide security for Iraq; I suppose because they were the ones who created the mess by launching illegal war against Iraq in 2003. Ive said this many times, the logic fits very nicely here and its something the ruling elite are well aware of. If ISIS goes away the new world order dies. And since they dont want the new world order plans to die then ISIS cannot die either. ISIS is the name for the leading US proxy army whose existence and accomplishments remain both highly promoted and marketed by Western Intelligence media while at the same time the process of capturing, stopping, squashing and snuffing them out is portrayed as impossible giving them an aura of surreal invincibility ironically in a era of human history where almost every person on the planet is easily tracked and surveilled by an enormous rising new world order control grid. A control system ONLY ISIS knows how to both completely avoid and laugh at while fighting off all the world military powers and winning. Enter the latest series of bombings now occurring throughout Baghdad, Iraq. In light of what weve discussed so far this is just another appearance on the global stage for ISIS who always seems to show up in parts of the world blowing up things in areas where US DOD documents reveal sectarian forces would be desirable for the purposes of destabilizing those regions. Despite this mighty coincidence conveniently, and as usual were told now that the entity that Ive labeled many times the lifeline of the new world order or ISIS is bombing Iraq not long after supposedly killing a Navy SEAL, another killing designed to say you see, the US must stay in Iraq. If you are trying to figure all of this out, save yourself some time and energy and just follow the known trail of evidence, documents and stated goals of the US government and its NATO allies. In order to do this it helps to be familiar with Operation Gladio which took place throughout Europe largely during the Cold war post WW2 era (1960s-1980s). Operation Gladio has eerie similarities to the work being carried out by ISIS today. Some call it Gladio B and perhaps this is a more appropriate name. There is one big difference however between ISIS and the Gladio secret army, the Gladio troops didnt get the public relations and marketing worship that ISIS gets from the US Western mainstream media. During the Gladio years Americans were pursuing and believing in the American Dream and they had a sense of values and perceptions about America as being the good guys. The secrecy of Gladio on the other hand was necessary for the purposes of that era to maintain the delusion back then that the US would never do such a thing. The need to maintain tight secrecy in these operations may explain why in the mid-1950s documents show that the US Department of Defense was discussing the flow of clandestine intelligence received by NATOs Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) from national authorities. Today there are too many people who understand that the US government is by no means a force for good on planet earth. For this reason it would seem that the powers that be have opted for the war on terror script which employs the good guys versus bad guys strategy where the US, of course, is the good guys fighting evil terrorists. This strategy or storyline allows them to do the same type of bombings via the use of their proxy army. The known army (ISIS), whose arming, funding and training still occurs in state-secret mode, then becomes the mobile and elusive bogeymonster which justifies the long-sought-after state of permanent war. So, yes, the script has slightly changed in terms of its presentation to the general public, but the plan, the goals and the purpose of continued global terrorism for political gain has not. In Operation Gladio the Gladio secret army, like todays ISIS US proxy army, was blowing up things wherever they were told to do so. And, like Gladio, the ISIS-US proxy army conveniently strikes in regions where they feel continuation of destabilization is necessary (as in Iraq) and wherever they feel the leadership of a nation needs to be changed. Former US Ambassador and White House Intelligence Coordinator, Lee Wanta, who worked for the Reagan administration is quoted as saying: This was Gladio, of course, the bastardized anti-Communist program that set up terror organizations across Europe as a fall back defense in case of a successful Soviet invasion. Libya was the staging ground for Gladio, a program operated, not out of Italy as reported, but out of Switzerland, by the P2, a Freemason organization that eventually operated in 26 countries, across not only Europe but Latin America as well. Operation Gladio researcher and author doctor Daniele Ganser describes the functional network working behind Operation Gladio: What is clear is that military establishments have a top-down, hierarchical command structure- whatever happens. As far as the SB/Gladio organization was concerned, the top level was the Pentagon, hence the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and, if you want, the President above them. Then, below the Pentagon, in the U.S. Command chain came the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) at NATO headquarters in Brussels. At NATO headquarters, further down, you had the military Intelligence representatives of Western European states, who gathered in the Allied Clandestine Committee (ACC) and in the Clandestine Planning Committee (CPC). All this is documented. Below that level, each country pursued its own policy in respect to its SB/Gladio structure. The National Military Intelligence Service would approach people and recruit them for the network. A lot of these people were just very conservative, anti-communist patriots, who would never get involved in a terrorist operation. Many were not even aware that the Pentagon or the British Ministry of Defense was the ultimate master. Their point of reference was the local military Intelligence chief, whom they might have known from joint military service. Exploring Operation Gladio shows that it was responsible for attacks on many nations for the purpose of destabilizing them and demonizing their leaders. The following is a list of just some of the attacks documented. 1960 Turkey: The military, backed by the CIA Gladio and still run by Allen Dulles, organized a coup and killed Prime Minister Adnan Menderes. 1964 Italy: The Socialist ministers abandon their posts in the government after receiving death threats paths by the Gladio. Harassment maneuver known as Operation Solo. 1967 Greece: Gladio organization in that country, acting under the banner of Hellenic Raid Force (Hellenic Raiding Force) stages a coup, established a military dictatorship. 1968 Spain: ETA appears and commits his first murders. In 1970, the trial summary that has gone down in history as the process of Burgos. Facts of the case dated back to 1968. On 2 August of that year was assassinated police Apples Meliton, head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation of Social of San Sebastian police station and was the first victim of ETA. On June 7, was killed Jos Pardines Azcay, Civil Guard officer during a traffic check. These were the first killings of the terrorist network and decided to try using a military tribunal to sixteen of its members. 1969 Italy: a bomb explodes on a bench in Piazza Fontana in Milan, killing 16 people and wounding 80. In 1999 the former head of Italian intelligence service, General Maletti, said the attack was devised by the Gladio and alleged terrorists of the extreme right, supported by members of the Italian security forces that would have provided coverage. 1973 Spain: The assassination of Admiral Carrero Blanco, head of Government and expected continuation of the scheme. The admiral, who had refused to provide logistical support to the Americans during the recent Arab-Israeli war, was killed one day after meeting in Madrid with the Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. 1975 Spain: A command of the extreme right, linked to the Italian Gladio network, attacked the office of a labor lawyer in Madrid linked with the Communist Party, which had not yet been legalized. 1976 Spain: Mercenaries from the Gladio provoke a confrontation between different groups Carlist Montejurra during a demonstration in which several were killed. 1977 Spain: January 24 Gladio perpetrated the massacre at number 55 Calle de Atocha (Madrid). Labor lawyers were killed Valdevira Enrique Ibanez, Luis Javier Benavides Orgaz and Sauquillo Francisco Javier Prez del Arco, Serafin law student Holgado and administrative Antonio ngel Rodrguez Leal, and seriously injured Gil Miguel Sarabia, Alejandro Ruiz-Huerta Carbonell, Luis Ramos Pardo and Dolores Gonzlez Ruiz, married to Sauquillo. She was pregnant and lost the child also expected. The authorship of Gladio was confirmed by a confidential report of the Executive Committee for Intelligence and Security Services (CESIS), an agency under the Presidency of the Council of Ministers of Italy. 1977 Germany:{##34##} The Red Army Faction (German Rote Armee Fraktion, or RAF), also known as the Baader-Meinhof (by the name of their two most prominent), caused a great stir in Germany (especially in the fall of that year), which led to an unprecedented national crisis since the Second World War and which resulted in the deaths of 34 people and 20 members of the terrorist group due to various attacks and clashes with security forces German. 1978 Italy: Assassination of Prime Minister Aldo Moro kidnapped by the Red Brigades, a terrorist organization founded in 1969 which declared Marxist-Leninist. Moro was kidnapped on her way to a session of Congress that was going to vote a motion of confidence in the new government led by Giulio Andreotti, the Italian Communist Party support. It was the first time you put into practice the so-called compromesso Storico by which the Italian Communists came to form the government of concentration to overcome the severe crisis suffered then Italy. Moro had always advocated the understanding between Communists and Christian Democrats. 1980 Italy and Germany bombed the Bologna train station and during the celebration of the Oktoberfest in Munich, killing a total of 98 people and wounding over 400. In both cases there was evidence of the involvement of the Gladio and U.S. secret services. 1981 Spain: mass poisoning by consumption of denatured rapeseed oil (Rapeseed Oil Syndrome) and alleged coup attempt of February 23. Several activities planned and executed by the CIA, and related to the entry of Spain into NATO, forced the resignation of then Prime Minister, Adolfo Surez, and paved the way for the victory of the PSOE in the general election of 1982. 1983-1985 Belgium: There is a series of actions as violent as absurd. Groups of armed men fired indiscriminately killing civilians in several restaurants and supermarkets in the district of Brabant. Up to 28 people were killed and thousands were seriously injured. The unfinished investigations suggested the involvement in the bombings of members of the Belgian Armed Forces and suspected right-wing groups associated with the American and British secret services. 1990 Switzerland: found dead the former head of the Swiss secret army P26, Colonel Alboth, stabbed with his own bayonet, after having made sure that he was willing to disclose the whole truth about the clandestine activities of Gladio terrorist network in Switzerland . So make no mistake, this is an old script playing out over and over again and it goes like this: Is anyone not seeing the pattern? Lets consider now the recent CIA-ISIS-Mossad bombings and murders in Iraq timed perfectly at a time when Iraq is trying to break away from the US oppressive empire. This just covers the past 8 days or so. Much of the list is coming in today (as of the time of this article Wednesday May 11, 2016); but, as you can see, this is a Gladio-style bombing campaign that ISIS, the US proxy army is obediently complying with. Behind the scenes of course, the true enemy is the CIA, Mossad and other key NATO powerful allies who, as they did in Operation Gladio, are ensuring the success of ISIS fighters. The following list proves that the mission is a mission they intend to carry out in Iraq and is well underway in real-time and notice that the accompanying sophisticated 2016 propaganda is very much a part of the plan. The Pentagon knows they need the support and approval of the general public to pull off this broad daylight Operation Gladio-style attack in Iraq. All links to the stories below found here. Anyone educated and aware of the geopolitical picture understands that when you read ISIS that simply means the West or the US-NATO team. They are entirely inseparable and the lie of ISIS is common knowledge to anyone who cares to know the truth enough to turn off Western mainstream media. And given what we know it is clear that the powers-that-be in Iraq are being bullied by the West to submit, but my guess is that they will never submit and will instead fight to the end against this global terrorism. Looking at the timing, it appears this latest bombing spree in Iraq means the US is desperate to maintain their stronghold on nations they illegally invaded and destroyed and they dont want to see their illegal wars and war crimes go to waste. They dont want to lose control in Iraq so they are using their ISIS proxy army to do the dirty work of scaring and intimidating the people and the current government of Iraq. Does this all sound familiar? It also means that we can expect the idolizing of ISIS to continue as ISIS is portrayed as an entity poised to live on forever despite a coalition of nations (not named the US or Israel) cooperating to destroy them in other regions. Even the greatest skeptic must admit that ISIS is the US proxy army that CIA and Mossad will not allow to die under any circumstances. The now more than 2-year-old endless ISIS show is the proof of this claim. Lets hope that eventually enough of humanity throughout the world is fed up with the US empire and their stubborn and hateful Military Industrial Complex. Lets hope that enough of humanity can come together to form a true global body that will finally put the stop on this powerful empire. Lets hope they can use technology to accelerate this goal for global justice. Lets hope that a nation (like Russia), or another entity opposed to US global domination is able to harness enough support and cooperation in the global community to bring the US Military, the CIA and all the true terrorists to justice. Until that happens we cannot realistically expect anything to change in Iraq or for that matter Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Sudan, Yemen and other surrounding nations. The harsh reality is that the thunderous explosives are waiting to go off throughout the entire region and few are wondering where ISIS is getting their ammunition from or for that matter who trained them to use these explosives. We all know explosives dont create themselves and no one ends up with an endless cache of military weapons and explosive unless they are getting them from the military themselves. We must therefore open our eyes to the painful reality of the current situation and hope others see it for what it is as well. If you agree with this message please share. Awesome story. So many people are deluded. Could these new bombings be the excuse to finally formally propose the partitioning of Iraq into three regions as is seen in the map of the New Middle East Project written about in detail, e.g. Global Research (ca) and on the cover of The Atlantic as their main story around 2008? One of these partitions is for a new Kurdish homeland with sections of land taken out of Iraq, Turkey, Iran, and Syria. the question we should all be asking ourselves, Is there any difference between Isis al Caidah Al Nusra and the CIA the answer is NO, why because they are all one the same, and a US creation, without the US they would not exist, so once we recognise the problem and say what it is, then the sooner we will have the cure. WMDs were found. Just that they were embarrassing as the source was indicated as the West (USA in particular). Thus, stories of their discovery kind of shuffled away. Iraq received them as munitions for use against Iran during their earilier Iran-Iraq War. The US and Mossad are resuming the knights Templar / Rothschild operations in reclaiming the holy land . Presently they are carving out the entire region, one country at a time Ordering the death machine to march ever onward. So long as it does not involve any of their chickenshit arsses. 
3	Be Afraid: State Dept Issues WORLDWIDE Travel Alert for All U.S. CitizensBy Melissa Dykes Thats right, folks. While the agency normally issues alerts and warnings into various specific countries, such as issuing an alert for travel to Sierra Leone during last years Ebola outbreak, for example, this time the alert is essentially for any time an American gets on any plane going anywhere. The reason? Increased terrorist threats. The alert says, Current information suggests that ISIL (aka Daesh), al-Qaida, Boko Haram, and other terrorist groups continue to plan terrorist attacks in multiple regions. These attacks may employ a wide variety of tactics, using conventional and non-conventional weapons and targeting both official and private interests. This Travel Alert expires on February 24, 2016. Authorities believe the likelihood of terror attacks will continue as members of ISIL/Daesh return from Syria and Iraq. Additionally, there is a continuing threat from unaffiliated persons planning attacks inspired by major terrorist organizations but conducted on an individual basis. Extremists have targeted large sporting events, theatres, open markets, and aviation services. In the past year, there have been multiple attacks in France, Nigeria, Denmark, Turkey, and Mali. ISIL/Daesh has claimed responsibility for the bombing of a Russian airliner in Egypt. The alert goes on to warn that we should exercise vigilance when in public places or using transportation; be aware of immediate surroundings and avoid large crowds or crowed places; and exercise particular caution during the holiday season and at holiday festivals or events. In other words, every time we leave our homes to do pretty much anything this holiday season, we should first and foremost be scared of terrorists. Thats right, because the alert does not expire until February 24, 2016 (they made sure to even include Valentines Day). Anyone else starting to feel like we stepped into a time machine and went back to the months after September 11, 2001? What are they going to do next, warn people to buy duct tape and plastic sheeting for their windows and doors? Or maybe theyll start playing that Cold War archive film about how to Duck and Cover everywhere as a public service. You know whats coming next thats right. The color-coded fear chart. I think it looked something like this: 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! I was on vacation outside the states when this alert was announced and was more concerned with sunburn than this pizzle. Right? How about, these are meaningless threats. the cabal is now doomed. they are posting these threats because its all they have left to control us. dont fall for it! geez I have both duct tape and plastic sheets wonder where I will be forced(!) to bend over errm I mean turn them over. 
3	Mexico Bracing for Massive Default That Could Set Off Global Debt BombBy Mac Slavo Across the planet, there are hundreds of governments local, state and national as well as business and households who are reaching a breaking point. Already drowning in debt, many are about to default on loan repayments, and thus set off a series of debt crises that will be met with market chaos and a tightening of easy credit for those who are most vulnerable to implosion. With Puerto Rico also timed for a major default that will burden the United States, Mexico is ready to crash, and bracing for impact. Its biggest construction firm, which has been dependent upon government contracts that are now drying up, is facing default on a $31 million interest bill. And so it begins via Wolf Street: In August, the bonds ofMexicos biggest construction company, ICA, had the dubious honor of being the worst performing corporate bonds across all emerging markets. At a time when emerging economies are slowing down and the total debt exposure of EM corporations has never been higher, this was no mean feat. [] Yesterday the companys shares plummeted 22% on news that it would use a 30-day grace period to make a $31 million interest payment that was due this week. Today its shares, which have lost more than 75% of their value since January, fell a further 8% to 3.76 pesos, their lowest point in 21 years. To make matters worse, the builder recently hired corporate restructuring specialist Rothschild Co. as financial adviser, fuelling speculation that it will soon seek debt relief. []If ICA does fail to pay, it would be Mexicos biggest bond default since the tumultuous days of the Tequila Crisis 20 years ago. The revenue reported by the company, which depends on the government for a majority of its contracts, has sharply declined this year amidst infrastructure spending cutbacks, while the weaker peso has exacerbated the companys leverage ratios. As WOLF STREET previously reported (hereandhere), many Mexican corporations are acutely vulnerable to a strengthening dollar and rising U.S. interest rates. The sudden rise in central bank-engendered liquidity after the outbreak of the Global Financial Crisis enabled Mexicos biggest companies to borrow from the international markets in much larger amounts and for much longer periods than at any other time in history.And the slide of the peso against the dollar has significantly increased the amount of leverage at some companies. As the article suggests, a sluggish Mexican economy has made this company all-too-vulnerable to market failure. The dead weight of its collapse is liable to do some damage across much of the global economic landscape. The real danger is that enough incidents could set off a domino of debt bomb explosions that risk taking the whole thing with it in a brilliant fiery scene of destruction. Goldman Sachs, so often at heart of these financial matters, recently proclaimed that we are in the third wave of the financial crisis that reaches back to before 2008 and includes other major shocks to the global economy. According to Goldman: This wave is characterised by rock-bottom commodities prices This triple whammy has its roots in the response to the first two waves of crisis the banking collapse and European sovereign-debt crisis and it is all part of the so-called debt supercycle of the past few decades. Central banks all rushed to lower interest rates in response to the first two debt-fueled crises, encouraging investors to lend in emerging markets such as China for a decent return. Now that interest rates are looking as if they might go up, lenders are heading for the exits and investors are pulling out of commodities, which are closely linked to the fate of the emerging economies. And that is exactly what is going on today. Energy and commodity prices are bottoming out, and people are stressing over the shortfalls in revenue. Weak economic systems and promises under socialism and welfare systems are making the balance sheets impossible to rectify. As lenders are demanding repayment, third world nations are under extra pressure due to a strong dollar that costs more to repay. Wolf Street explains: The Bank of International Settlements notes that the external debt in Mexico is the fourth highest of 17 emerging economies. The three economies ahead of Mexico are Chile, Malaysia and Peru. So serious is the problem that the Bank of Mexico just released a carefully worded alert on the potential dangers of excessive dollar-denominated corporate debt. [] Companies that have sharply increased their foreign currency-denominated debt are meanwhile advised to pay close attention to the risks they face, especially if most of their revenues are denominated in pesos. In the case of ICA, almost all of the companys contracts are denominated in pesos, while $1.35 billion of its debt is denominated in dollars. Thats the debt its now struggling to pay. [] This explosion of dollar-denominated debt was not just the result of the strengthening dollar; many companies were also desperate to take advantage of exceptionally low interest rates by applying for more debt with favorable conditions. In a perversely ironic twist, out of fear that the Fed may be about to take away the ZIRP punch bowl, some of Mexicos biggest corporations embarked on one last dollar-borrowing binge. Seeing as how these debt bombs cannot be localized and contained, and that they are set to go off across the planet, this very possibly could be the beginning of some major impacts in global finance. Everything is vulnerable, particularly for those depending upon income and services from a failing system. For investors, all that is leveraged, collateralized and sold into derivatives is in danger of catching flame, too. The massive amount of true global debt when unfulfilled obligations such as pensions that cannot be paid for are taken into account is absolutely impossible to fix through conventional thinking. There will be many people left holding the bag, until or unless the debts are wiped clean and the system sees a reset. You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com. All the defaulted countries gave their money away to undeserving welfare parasites who were too lazy to work or baby production lines for more moola without any birth control or work outside the home. Now who bails them out? The same suckers working for a living who gave them the money out of their childrens mouths. That was not enough for The welfare parasites sitting on their behinds and eating steaks, and using money to buy lottery tickets. They want more. And the countries, not wanting to be called incompassionate, gave them more of the hard working tax payers money, So that they no longer had money to repair infrastructure or for education or anything else. So then they raised more taxes until the working man had nothing left. Now they want the USA to bail them out. The USA Corporation is bankrupt too. All money collected by the IRS is paid tribute to England( Crown/Londinium). Fed ( Rothschilde), Vatican. The USA borrows all funds from the Fed Res at interest.. that the Americans have to pay to send this money to Mexico or anyone else. Not only this. Every muslim in the world wants to come to the West for us to raise them out of the 12th century to the 21st. Them and their 4 wives who give birth every two years. if the fed goes belly up that would e good news for humanity not so good for IS-RA-HELL and the gold collar parasites.

2	Trump Sees Woman In Crowd Having Medical Emergency, Immediately Does THIS [VIDEO] The media likes to portray Donald Trump as a selfish, egotistical misogynist, but time and time again his actions prove that this is simply not the case. On Friday, Donald Trump was in the middle of a speech in Redding, California when he noticed a woman having a medical issue. He stopped right in the middle of his delivery to make sure that the woman got medical attention. On the day of his appearance, it was reportedly 105 degrees in the California city. Trump took the stage at Redding Municipal Airport to give his speech. The crowd had been standing near the tarmac of the airport for more than five hours to hear him, resulting in sweating and dehydration. Trump was in the middle of criticizing the liberal media when the incident occurred. No matter what we doyou know, its funny, The New York Times puts me onwhat? Trump said, switching gears to the woman in the audience who had taken ill. Get a medic, please, he said, pointing out into the audience. Medic. Okay? Your just take it easy, girl. Take it easy. Its hot out here, right? We love you, maam. We love you. Trump waited until medics could reach the woman before he picked back up again, though he did give the crowd a thumbs-up sign as they cheered him on. Give her a hand, everybody, Trump encouraged the crowd, as she recovered. Give her a hand. Of course, youve probably heard very little about this incident in the mainstream media. It simply doesnt fit with the character they are trying to create. 
2	MSNBC Blind Sides Al Sharpton, Cancels His Show For THIS Amazing Reason According to recent reports, Al Sharpton may have been fired from MSNBC after a $20 billion lawsuit was just brought against him for racial discrimination. The Hollywood Reporter notes that the National Association of African-American Owned Media is claiming nearly $20 billion in damages against Comcast and Time Warner Media, claiming that the networks discriminate against black-owned media. The group is also targeting several African-American advocacy groups, including MSNBC and host Al Sharpton. The suit accuses these parties of facilitating discrimination. One thing we do know is that MSNBC has move Al Sharpton to Sunday mornings at 8:00 ama huge cut down from five days a week at 6 pm. The move could also be due to MSNBCs falling ratings, as a number of shows have been cut entirely. 
2	ISIS Takes 170 Hostages And Kill Three At Hotel In THIS City ISIS has taken its next attack in Africa. They took over a hotel in Mali. 170 were taken hostage, and 3 were killed. They released 80 hostages for being able to recite the Quran. Several Chinese are being held hostage. After hearing of this, China is looking to take further action, as two Chinese citizens were already murdered earlier this week. Police believe there are two or three terrorists with guns holding these people hostage. Its scary to think how much damage only a few terrorists can cause. Imagine what they could do if hundreds were involved. Should America take military action against ISIS? 
2	Democrats Begin Confiscation Of Guns In THIS State Because Of Gun Violence Democrats have just moved on to the 9th state to try to ban assault rifles. This time, its Washington State taking the leap. A bill was introduced on January 11 to confiscate assault weapons. This is how the bill defines assault rifle: A semiautomatic rifle that has the capacity to accept a 27 detachable magazine and has one or more of the following: A pistol grip or thumbhole stock; Any feature capable of functioning as a protruding grip that 30 can be held by the nontrigger hand; A folding or telescoping stock; A shroud attached to the barrel, or that partially or completely encircles the barrel, allowing the bearer to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned, but excluding a slide that encloses the barrel; A semiautomatic pistol, or a semiautomatic, centerfire, or rimfire rifle with a fixed magazine, that has the capacity to accept more than ten rounds of ammunition. And it also includes semiautomatic pistols that accept detachable magazines. (Source: Breitbart) Obama has been pushing hard for gun control, and it seems that many states are taking this seriously. Taking away our guns is a violation of our Second Amendment Right. Its sad that this is what the world has come to. Do you support the full use of our Second Amendment Right? 
2	Christian Farmers Sharply Retaliate After Being Forced To Host Gay Weddings Recently, Cynthia and Robert Gifford found themselves in legal trouble after they refused to host a gay wedding on their far in 2012. The couple was fined $13,000, after a judge ruled that they cannot discriminate against same sex couples. As a result, the Giffords made the difficult decision that they will not be hosting weddings at all. Going forward, they have decided to no longer host any wedding ceremonies on their property (other than the ones already under contract, legal representative of the Alliance Defending Freedom James Trainor told The Blaze. Since the order essentially compelled them to do all ceremonies or none at all, they have chosen the latter in order to stay true to their religious convictions, Trainor continued. Even though it will likely hurt their business in the short run. Lawyers representing the farming couple claim that they are also being forced to teach classes to their employees that impose the states view of marriage. The Giffords will continue to host receptions, but they will be avoiding ceremonies of any kind. What do you think about the judges ruling? 
2	Welfare Recipients In THIS State Just Received Some DEVASTATING News When the state of Main instituted welfare to work policies, abusers were so averse to getting a job or education that one third of them opted to stop receiving benefits instead. That is the major takeaway in a recent interview with Gov. Paul LePage. In the interview with The Daily Signal, LePage claims that the state was able to reduce its rolls almost immediately. While Gov. LePage admitted that Maine in a demographically old state, he claimed that it was shocking to see the youth that was on it. Those statistics prompted them to work on getting them to work. LePages Welfare to Work program aimed to get able-bodied recipients back into the workforce. I think that the thing that worked the best in the way that the system sort of revolved was by combining the Department of Health and Human Services, Education, Labor, and now were putting the Veterans Administration in the same building. We do an intake, LePage continued. We assess their needs, their educational skills and whether or notwhat do they need so they can hold down a job. When the state implemented the process, the results were shocking. One-third decided they didnt want to do any of the above, so they left, he commented. That happened within a couple of monthsand they werent from Maine, thats the thing. They just came to Maine because were so generous. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is it time we get rid of the mooches abusing the system? 
2	Hannity Just Verbally Destroyed Megyn Kelly So Hard, That She Might Never Recover Its become abundantly clear that Megyn Kelly of Fox News values her own career advancement over electing a Republican as our President. In the past year, she has seized every opportunity to criticize the Republican nominee. Kelly took things a step further when she criticized Sean Hannity for being a public supporter of the legendary businessman. Donald Trump, with all due respect to my friend at 10 oclock, will go on Hannity and pretty much only Hannity and will not venture out to the unsafe spaces these days, which doesnt exactly expand the tent for either one of them, she commented during a recent segment. There. Thats my two cents. Of course, Hannity did not take this criticism from his co-worker lightly, especially after she tried to trick Trump during the Republican debate. @megynkelly u should be mad at @HillaryClinton Clearly you support her. And @realDonaldTrump did talk to u, Hannity tweeted What do you think? Is Megyn Kelly digging a deeper and deeper hole for herself?

2	Michelle Obama Claims Her Life Is More Difficult Than A Soldiers Earlier this week First Lady Michelle Obama compared her life to that of an American soldier. When Michelle was in Fort Campbell, KY, this week, she gave a speech to veterans about finding work after leaving the military. While she spoke, she mentioned that before she campaigned with Barack, she didnt know much about what life in the military was. Michelle then went on to contrast her experience with that of Vice President Joe Biden and his wife Jill, who are Blue Star parents. Unlike Jill, I wasnt a military mom, the First Lady said, I didnt know much about the military, and I was probably more like the average American. Michelle described the many meetings she had throughout the campaigns with military families. Everywhere we went, I heard the voice of a woman that I hadnt heard before, and it was your voice, the first lady said, And I was just awed and blown away by what I heard through those voices, the challenges you all face. Michelle went on to compare her life on the campaign trail with a presidential candidate husband to that of a military wife. Dealing with everything that I was dealing witha spouse traveling, a job, kids we didnt deal with multiple moves, but I learned about the challenges that happen when you move from base to base to base, Michelle said, The way your kids have to adjust on a dime. And doing it knowing that the person you love is in harms way. And those stories moved me in a way that I didnt expect. 
1	The last time the Philadelphia Phillies brought a World Series title back to the City of Brotherly Love, the nation's financial sector was in complete ruin, the cost of a gallon of milk was only $2.74, fans watched the Fall Classic while huddled around their slightly-less-streamlined high-definition television sets, and Philadelphia slugger Ryan Howard was just 28 years old. This week Howard, 29, hopes to lead the Phillies to their first World Series championship in more than 360 long days and end a title drought that has been punctuated by several embarrassing losses, including a 2009 opening-day defeat by the Atlanta Braves and a June loss to the Atlanta Braves. During its infamous dry spell, the team has also come up short twice, winning both an NLDS and an NLCS title but having absolutely no World Series ring to show for it. To put into perspective just how long the Phillies have gone without a championship, the earth has almost made one full orbit of the sun since the franchise last paraded through downtown Philadelphia holding the famed Commissioner's Trophy. 'We have a good group of guys this year, and if we block out all the stuff about how we haven't won a World Series in more than 5,000 waking hours, we'll be fine.' Howard said. 'Frankly, I'm tired of all that talk. Yes, I know Michael Jackson was still alive the last time we won, and I know Boston Legal was gearing up for its final episode. But look, when the umpire says 'Play ball,' none of that matters.' 'After 364 days of constantly coming up short, I think this is finally our year,' Howard added. According to Phillies manager Charlie Manuel, if his players get wrapped up in the fact that they haven't raised a World Series banner since April 5, 2009, they'll never be able to play to the maximum of their ability against the New York Yankees. The veteran manager admitted, however, that going nearly 52 straight weeks without a championship is bound to shake any team's confidence. 'The bottom line is we're a pretty inexperienced team, and for many of these young players, this will be the first time they've been to the World Series in a year.' Manuel said. 'A lot has changed in that time. If you would have told me last October that this country would elect a black president before the Philadelphia Phillies made it back to the World Series, I would have laughed in your face.' While Philadelphia players admitted the 11-month championship-winless streak has been difficult for them personally, most agreed that it's the fans who've suffered most, enduring more than 500,000 minutes without a World Series victory. 'Our fans are incredible,' said left fielder Raul Ibanez, who was brought to the Phillies during the offseason in the hopes that he could help Philadelphia finally get back on the winning track. 'If I were them, I would have given up on us weeks ago, after we lost our 69th game and failed to win the National League East by more than 10 [games]. But they stuck with us.' Though the Philly faithful are understandably disappointed with their team's title drought, many believe this will be the season when the team breaks the so-called Curse of 1981the year in which the Phillies failed to follow up their 1980 championship season with a World Series victory. 'I guess part of me feels like the long wait will make a title all the more special,' season-ticket holder Mike Oliver said. 'And even though I don't like to compare teams, this Philly squad feels similar to the one who beat the Rays back in the day. They had guys like Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley, Cole Hamels, Jamie Moyerguys who could really play the game and knew how to win; not like today's players.' 'Man, whatever happened to Jamie Moyer?' Oliver added. 'He's got to be dead by now.' 'Truthfully, I never thought I would live to see the Phillies get to another World Series,' longtime fan David Oswald said. 'When I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last November, the doctor only gave me eight months.' 
1	Upon finding the machine in her apartment buildings laundry room completely untouched since she last stopped by, exasperated local woman Sandra Hermus reportedly mounted all her magnanimity Monday and extended the deadline for the previous user to remove their clothing from the dryer by five minutes. This is the second time in the past half hour that Ive walked down three flights of stairs to move my clothes over from the washer, only to find this pile still wadded up inside the only available dryerGod, who knows how long theyve even been in there? said Hermus, adding that the behavior was completely ridiculous and that she would only grant the offending tenant a short extension, during which they could remove their belongings without receiving the full brunt of Hermus ire. If they dont come down here really soon, Ill be forced to take desperate measures, such as touching their garments with my bare hands and carrying them over to the dusty table in the corner. Ive tried being patient, but in a few minutes, Im going for itjust you watch. At press time, sources confirmed that a visibly incensed Hermus could be seen glancing from her watch to the doorway before heaving a large, audible sigh and saying that she would grant the clothes owner an additional three-minute reprieve, but thats really it. 
2	Federal Judge Tells Obama Cannot Prevent Congress From Review Executive Order President Barack Obama cannot be happy about a recent federal judge ruling that he cannot use his execute privilege to prevent Congress from viewing records on Operation Fast and Furiousa gun running program that allowed thousands of firearms to cross the border into Mexico. U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson was nominated by President Obama to the bench, but that did not stop her from ruling that Obamas administration is required to release the documents they were withholding under executive privilege. Judge Jackson reportedly wrote in her decision that the information already made public by the Justice Department has opened the door for any further disclosures. Jackson also ruled that any damage existing in the reports has already been self-inflicted. Essentially, the ruling determined that executive privilege was void given that the justice department had already released pertinent information. The White House is now required to provide Congress with attorney-client privileged material, attorney work product, private information, law enforcement sensitive material, or foreign policy sensitive material. The Obama administration will have the opportunity to appeal the decision if they see fit. What do you think? Do you support the ruling? Are you glad that Obama might finally be held accountable for his actions?

2	Queen Rania Of Jordan Makes Michelle Obama Look Bad Over the past few years, Queen Rania of Jordan has often been compared to Michelle Obama. While Michelle has done nothing but spend taxpayer dollars and introduce failing policies, Queen Rania has been showing the world a picture of graceful leadership. This week, Queen Rania took to social media to post a photo in honor of ringing in the New Year. She is spending her holidays with her family at home. Meanwhile, Michelle is currently in Hawaii on one of her many vacations that are being funded by American taxpayers. Her husband, our president, is probably off golfing somewhere and ignoring important political affairs. Excited to be starting the new year countdown! Queen Rania posted along with a picture of her family. With 10 days until the end of the year, I am happy to share our family picture for 2016. Its clear that Queen Rania is a much stronger leader and example than Michelle. What do you think? Do we need a family in the White House that will represent true American values?

Conventional medicine claims superiority to other modalities in that it alone is scientifically based. But what about when a scientist disagrees with a doctor on the science that should underlie vaccination? What then? I think we should listen to the scientist. Or at the very least, we should listen to both. Right now, Offit is given the bully pulpit. He is on TV and radio all the time without being questioned. The impression is that journalists have done their homework and found the critics lacking. But that is false. They have not. I have had a career in US film and network TV as a writer-producer-director and previous to that as an editor, for NBC, ABC and PBS. My mom was a doctor. Some of my earliest memories are of going with her to her well baby clinics where she gave vaccines. So when I held a seminar on how print journalists could put legs on their national stories by pitching them to film and TV producers, and one asked me if Id be interested in the link between vaccines and autism, I was interested but VERY skeptical. I told her she was making some very serious allegations about some very credible organizationsindeed about one of the miracles of modern medicineand I wanted to see her basis for them, if any. She produced nothing for me to understand without spending a lot of time reading and consulting Google. So I called a friend that Ive worked with over the years to ask her opinion. She told me the kibosh had been put to the issue by a large study out of Denmark (Madsen). They thought mercury, a well-known neurotoxin, might be causing autism so they removed it from their shots only to find that autism increased. I wanted to satisfy myself that there was no connection so I read the paper. The statistical manipulation was obvious. They counted twice. The first time they counted only children whod been admitted to a hospital with autism, and got very few because most children with autism are not admitted to a hospital. Then after they removed the mercury, they counted again. This time they included the large number of outpatient cases whod been there all along, only making it look like autism had increased when it really hadnt. Denmark, by the way, did not put mercury back in their shots. They kept it out. So apparently I wasnt the only one who didnt believe Madsen. I found the study was commissioned by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC. Then I got a document that one of the autism parent groups (Safe Minds) had obtained through a Freedom of Information request. The document was notes of a secret meeting (Simpsonwood) between the CDC, FDA, USPHS, NIH, representatives of WHO, vaccine manufacturers and some medical associations, but no parent groups or vaccine critics. The meeting was illegal because of its secrecy and exclusion of these groups. They discussed an internal CDC statistical study showing a large increased risk of neurological problems from vaccines. The CDC stated they would be re-doing the numbers to arrive at a different outcome and would be commissioning studies to reinforce that perception. Hence Madsen. The numbers from Madsen were later run by independent scientists (Geier) who found the mercury removal had actually reduced new cases of both autism and asthma in Denmark. Today, the CDCs representative and co-author (Poul Thorsen) stands accused of embezzling one million dollars of the study money. Scientists I spoke with told me there are a very large number of studies showing vaccine ingredients are dangerous, principally mercury and aluminum, but also animal DNA particles and viruses, formaldehyde, ethylene glycol, MSG and antibiotics. So, I raised the funds and did an intensive reading of the papers. It took several years. I found the scientists were correct. But as the saying goes, water flows uphill to money. Recently, several pharmaceutical companies paid in the high hundred million to low billion-dollar range to settle fraud charges or pay fines relating to improper drug marketing. They illegally claimed the drugs were good for conditions for which there was no underlying scientific evidence or Food and Drug Agency (FDA) approval. The government grants pharmaceutical companies monopolies on new drugs, new delivery systems or new formulations with other drugs via patent protection. But nowadays few of these are in the pipeline. However, more than 120 new vaccines are. And as the drugs patents expire the pharmaceutical companies are betting on vaccines to be their next billion-dollar, blockbuster sellers. I was curious. Did vaccines do away with small pox and polio? I found that deaths from a host of infectious diseases were virtually eliminated by quarantine, better hygiene and sanitationin some cases over a decade before the introduction of the vaccine. I found that both smallpox and polio vaccines are not very effective, and have a history of actually causing the disease! Moreover, large groups of vaccinated children get the disease anyway. And there are populations of unvaccinated kids who dont have autism. With autism running at 1 in 42 for boys, there should be at least hundreds in these communities, but apparently there arent. And the CDC will not conduct a serious study of vaccinated versus unvaccinated to prove or disprove this. If vaccines are really so safe and effective, why on earth would the CDC not rush to carry out such a study? In 1999, the US Public Health Service and the American Academy of Pediatrics asked vaccine makers to remove mercury from their shots. But today they defend mercury against moves to outlaw it in various state legislatures across the US. And the World Health Organization has announced a preference for vaccines with the pre-1999 doses of mercury. Consequently, all US vaccines for export to other countries contain mercury at these high levels! In addition to the science, I found three books helpful in understanding the history. Vaccination Is Not Immunization by Dr. Tim OShea,Dissolving Illusions by Dr. Suzanne Humphries and Roman Bystianyk, and Age of Autism by Mark Blaxill and Dan Olmsted. All of the books are thoroughly referenced to the published science. Also of interest,Vaccine Epidemic: How Corporate Greed, Biased Science, and Coercive Government Threaten Our Human Rights, Our Health, and Our Children, a collection of articles edited by Louise Kuo Habakus and Mary Holland. And Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills by retired neuorosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock. Our Daily Meds, by Melody Peterson, On the Take by Dr. Jerome P. Kassirer, and The Truth About the Drug Companies, by Marcia Angell are especially illustrative of drug company behavior. The last two authors are former editors of the New England Journal of Medicine. I sent the above to one of my old friends, a science reporter at the Los Angeles Times. After he responded to my initial pitch by saying I was causing measles, and should get the facts. He then responded with a link to a blogger calling himself Orac. I tracked Orac down. His real name is David Gorski. He works as a drug developer for Wayne State University, which has a large contract for same with Sanofli-Aventis, yet claims to have no conflict of interest. I politely asked my friend why hed send me to a blogger as a source, especially a blogger with an attitude making ad hominem attacks in place of logic or evidence, and asked whether he actually ever read scientific literature himself. His response: No, I just thought he put it well. Welcome to my spam basket asshole! Sadly, his response is typical. Most journalists, TV networks, and foundations donating to film projects are intimidated by science, and will not take the time to really investigate. Instead they parrot those who seem to know. Those who are selling the product and have captured the federal health agencies that are supposed to be protecting us. Or they are simply ready to do the bidding of one of the largest donors in public and advertisers in commercial media, the drug companies Contributions will allow me to shoot Dr. Haley with a professional crew and complete the film. Think of it as a vote for informed consent. Richard P Milner, Public Affairs Media, Inc 
2	U.S. General Accuses Obama Of Being A Terrorist On Live TV [VIDEO] Senator Tom Cotton and Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney recently made a controversial appearance on The Kelley File, where they publicly accused President Obama of compromising Americas efforts in the Middle East. The disclosure includes the number of Iraqi troops that will be involved and a specific time frame for the battle, Megyn Kelly opened, commenting on the Obama administrations announcement regarding plans to drive the Islamic State out of Iraq. If a private in Iraq had revealed this kind of planning inadvertently by leaving a plan in the chow hall or a gym, he might have faced a court-martial, Cotton replied. But its now become a matter of policy that this administration is now going to announce war plans in advance that only increases the risk. Its absolutely bewildering, Lt. General McInerney weighed in. We are aiding and abetting the enemy. You have to wonder, given the timing right after the summit on countering violent extremism, if this is the administration trying to get a PR win since this summit hasnt produced anything, Cotton speculated. Its still going to expose our forces to certain risk, because theyre going to be doing a lot of defensive preparation: IEDs, different force positions knowing an attack is coming, McInerney explained. All those kind of things that are going to make our troops more vulnerable. What do you think? Is Obama doing more harm than good? Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com 
2	Restaurant Puts Up Sign That Is Pissing Off Muslims Around The World Once again, it appears that freedom of speech is being taken away at the hand of someone offended by it. This seems to be a common theme, especially when it comes to messages that oppose the religious beliefs of Muslims. According to reports, a business in Winooski, Vermont was recently forced to take down its sign because it offended a Muslim community member. The offensive word? Bacon. Apparently, when the Sneakers Bistro Caf attempted to help city officials with an operation known as Operation Bloom, they had no idea that they were signing up for some major controversy. The agreement was the caf would support the efforts to landscape public areas of the town, and Sneakers was able to put up a sign reading Yield for Bacon. According to reports, a Muslim woman complained about the sign, claiming it was against her customs to eat pork. The restaurant reluctantly removed the sign. Its nice that they were respectful enough to take it down, resident Caleb Wiley told reporters. But I also think they shouldnt have, or had to at any rate. What do you think? Should the business have been able to keep its sign? 
1	In what is considered the most ambitious mid-'80s TV star-monitoring program in its history, NASA on Monday unveiled the HORSTAT-II satellite, a $5.1 billion Lee Horsley-surveillance system. Diagram of HORSTAT-II orbiter, which will monitor changes in TV's Matt Houston. Scheduled to be launched Saturday, the HORSTAT-II promises up-to-the-minute statistical data on the whereabouts and activities of the handsome, mustachioed star of Matt Houston. From its Horslosynchronous orbit 800 kilometers above the earth's surface, HORSTAT-II will use its array of microsensors to gather and analyze Horsley-related data, which will be relayed to NASA bases at Cape Canaveral and NORAD. 'HORSTAT-II's state-of-the-art imaging technology will allow it to isolate Mr. Horsley out of a crowd of thousands,' said NASA team leader Dr. Martin Heller. 'It is specially programmed to home in on the unique particle wavelength, temperature and electromagnetic signature emanating from the actor's Horslosphere.' 'Our infrared imaging system will be able to pinpoint Horsley's location even when he's relaxing in an exclusive Southern California spa,' Heller said. 'In addition, HORSTAT-II's spectrohorsal scanning equipment will monitor Horsley's surface temperature so closely, we'll be able to tell if he's developing a sunburn before he even feels the symptoms.' An infrared satellite image of rugged <I>Matt Houston</I> star Lee Horsley. 'This is a great breakthrough for science and for NASA,' President Clinton said Tuesday during a White House speech. 'Our network of FBI agents and spies are no longer all we have to rely on in our fervent quest for up-to-the-minute information about the man who from 1982 to 1985 was America's third-favorite TV detective.' Pamela Hensley, who co-starred on Matt Houston as the buxom, brassy C.J. Parsons, was equally enthusiastic about the new satellite. 'This should forever change the way America looks at the best co-star I ever had, Lee Horsley.' Within months, internet users will have access to the satellite's data at www.nasa.com//leehorsley, which will provide updates on HORSTAT-II's findings every 15 minutes. 'I'm excited,' said Bob Washburn of Mechanicsburg, PA. 'Someday, I'm sure, my children will be shocked to learn there was a time when you had to wait for the morning paper to find out what Lee Horsley had been doing throughout the night. Soon, real-time info will be at our fingertips.' HORSTAT-II is widely considered the most advanced star-tracking system ever, even more powerful than the $4.4 billion UGLAB-IV satellite which monitored and collected data on actress Leslie Uggams for more than 10 years before crashing into the Indian Ocean in 1983.

Of course, the media is leaving out some essential facts. 28-year-old Christopher Harrison Jr., 28, of the 900 block Top View Drive in Edgewood has now been charged with attempted first-degree murder, first and second degree assault, and reckless endangerment. Police Spokesman Cpl. Shawn Vinson confirms that the two male victims were taken to a local hospital where they are being treated with major burn injuries. Both are in critical condition, and it is unclear what their recovery will look like. Vinson also confirmed that the cause of the dispute is still unknown. Authorities do know that the incident occurred along Route 40 near Allender Road. What do you think? Should this story be sparking public outrage? 
1	Reported sightings of Rochester's legendary 'phantom diner,' a mysterious restaurant that purportedly appears only to those in the most inebriated state of their lives, are often met with skepticism and incredulity. But for Leo Kline, 24, who claims he visited the diner this past weekend, the apparitional eatery is all too real. Witnesses to the mysterious eatery recall having seen it somewhere on this block. 'I had all but given up hope that I would get to eat pancakes and sausage that night,' said Kline, who was separated from his group of friends early Sunday morning after leaving the Steel Toe Bar's nickel-beer night to urinate in an alleyway. 'Then all of a sudden, there it was in front of me, bathed in this unnatural neon light. I don't remember much after that, but when I woke up the next day in the back of [Rick] Loomis' pickup truck, there was syrup in my hair.' 'That's when I knew the whole thing wasn't just a dream,' Kline added. These strange encounters with the enigmatic restaurantdescribed by hundreds of inebriated witnesses since 1990generally occur between the hours of midnight and 4 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday mornings, as well as on Mondays during three-day weekends. Leo Kline has no recollection of how the mysterious condiment got on his hands. The majority of hungover witnesses mention aimlessly wandering the streets and feeling insatiable hunger and extreme disorientation before catching a glimpse of the mysterious restaurant and being drawn irresistibly toward it. The memory loss associated with eating at the phantasmic diner, however, has left a dearth of concrete descriptions. Most, including bicycle-shop manager Corey Richmond, 27, could not even recall the general area in which the eatery had appeared to them. 'I thought maybe it was on Lyle Avenue, but I've been to that part of town dozens of times before,' Richmond said. 'The neighborhood is barren and completely run-down. There's nothing over there except for boarded-up buildings, that shitty Greek joint, and check-cashing places.' Vague accounts of the diner's interior have offered little insight into the mystery. Some mention an ancient, spectral waitstaff and indescribable bathroom conditions, and a few recall being forcibly ejected by a furious, massive blur that told them in a deep voice to 'stay the fuck out.' Even those who have allegedly visited the elusive restaurant disagree as to what state a person must be in to see the diner. Many say it appears after the consumption of 12 beers, while others insist 13 are required, which must be imbibed through a funnel. A smaller contingency adamantly contends that one must combine Jgermeister and white wine at a Valentine's Day mixer in order to summon the fantastical eatery. All agree, however, that the restaurant uncannily appears after no fewer than nine incantations of 'Dude, I am so fucking wasted.' Rochester's phantom diner is not the only case of a mysterious food establishment appearing exclusively to the exceedingly drunk. According to Dr. Thomas Paup, a leading expert on alcohol-contingent restaurant apparitions, there have been many similar phenomena across the country. 'The most famous example, of course, is the Normandy Avenue fish-taco truck in Los Angeles,' Paup said. 'But there have been many others, including a Middle Eastern restaurant in Denver and a churro stand in Austin, TX. In fact, you would be hard-pressed to find an area with a centralized bar scene where these types of reports haven't surfaced.' 'The factor that seems to tie all of these cases together is that each subject has been drunker than at any point in his or her entire life and in dire need of greasy, disgusting food,' Paup continued. Though many doubt the veracity of the confusing, fragmented stories that stem from so-called 'crypto-eateries,' those who say the phantom diner has appeared to them remain convinced of the partially remembered events that took place there. 'I'm pretty sure I left my cell phone there when I was throwing up in the bathroom, and when I went there the next day, it was gone,' said 26-year-old temp worker Rebecca Porter. 'How do you explain that?' 
2	You Will Soon Be Financially Responsible For Compensating Blacks For Slavery A recent article from liberal site Slate.com is demanding that the government pay reparations to the ancestors of slaves to make up for the injustices their families suffered. The articles also claim that the government has created a formula based on the disenfranchisement of blacks throughout the 20th century. The article is based on the idea of white supremacy, which it deems a force so fundamental to America that it is difficult to imagine the country without it. The article does little to recognize the strides the country has made in the last few decades to create an atmosphere that allows for equal rights of all decades. Instead, it claims, the case for reparations, in short, is straightforward. As a matter of public policy, America stole wealth from black people, denied them a shot at prosperity, and deprived them of equal citizenship. So what about those of us whos ancestors never owned slaves? Well, the article has a bold answer for that as well, stating that even if your Irish immigrant grandparents never owned slaves, or even lived around black people, they still reaped the fruits of state-sanctionedand state-directedtheft, through cheap loans, cheap education, and an unequal playing field. What do you think of ask?

3	Is The 505 Trillion Dollar Interest Rate Derivatives Bubble In Imminent Jeopardy?By Michael Snyder When this derivatives bubble finally bursts, there wont be enough money in the entire world to bail everyone out. The key to making sure that all of these interest rate bets do not start going bad is for interest rates to remain stable. That is why what is going on in Greece right now is so important. The Greek government has announced that it will default on a loan payment that it owes to the IMF on June 5th. If that default does indeed happen, Greek bond yields will soar into the stratosphere as panicked investors flee for the exits. But it wont just be Greece. If Greece defaults despite years of intervention by the EU and the IMF, that will be a clear signal to the financial world that no nation in Europe is truly safe. Bond yields will start spiking in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and all over the rest of the continent. By the end of it, we could be faced with the greatest interest rate derivatives crisis that any of us have ever seen. The number one thing that bond investors want is to get their money back. If a nation like Greece is actually allowed to default after so much time and so much effort has been expended to prop them up, that is really going to spook those that invest in bonds. At this point, Greece has not gotten any new cash from the EU or the IMF since last August. The Greek government is essentially flat broke at this point, and once again over the weekend a Greek government official warned that the loan payment that is scheduled to be made to the IMF on June 5thsimply will not happen And it isnt just the payment on June 5th that wont happen. There are three other huge payments due later in June, and without a deal the Greek government will not be making any of those payments either. It isnt that Greece is holding back any money. As the Greek interior minister recently explained during a television interview,the money for the payments just isnt there This crisis can still be avoided if a deal is reached. But after months of wrangling, things are not looking promising at the moment. The following comes fromCNBC And even if a deal is reached, various national parliaments around Europe are going to have to give it their approval. According to Business Insider, that may also be difficult So what happens if there is no deal by June 5th? Well, Greece will default and the fun will begin. In the end, Greece may be forced out of the eurozone entirely and would have to go back to using the drachma. At this point, even Greek government officials are warning that such a development would becatastrophic for Greece But the bigger story is what it would mean for the rest of Europe. If Greece is allowed to fail, it would tell bond investors that their money is not truly safe anywhere in Europe and bond yields would start spiking like crazy. The 505 trillion dollar interest rate derivatives scam is based on the assumption that interest rates will remain fairly stable, and so if interest rates begin flying around all over the place that could rapidly create some gigantic problems in the financial world. In addition, a Greek default would send the value of the euro absolutely plummeting. As I have warned so many times before, the euro is headed for parity with the U.S. dollar, and then it is going to go below parity. And since there are 75 trillion dollars of derivatives that are directly tied to the value of the U.S. dollar, the euro and other major global currencies, that could also create a crisis of unprecedented proportions. Over the past six years I have written more than 2,000 articles, I have authored two books and I have produced two DVDs. One of the things that I have really tried to get across to people is that our financial system has been transformed into the largest casino in the history of the world. Big banks all over the planet have become exceedingly reckless, and it is only a matter of time until all of this gambling backfires on them in a massive way. It isnt going to take much to topple the current financial order. It could be a Greek debt default in June or it may be something else. But when it does collapse, it is going to usher in the greatest economic crisis that any of us have ever seen. So keep watching Europe. Things are about to get extremely interesting, and if I am right, this is the start of something big. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

1	Blake Yardley, 34, told reporters Monday that he felt extremely humbled to have been the individual who, amidst the chaos and sadness of actor Heath Ledger's recent untimely passing, had the foresight and due reverence to add the death date to the star's Wikipedia page. Saying that he is not looking for credit or public acclaim, the Wikipedia editor and Best Value Windows employee called his addition of ' 22 January 2008)' to Ledger's online encyclopedia biography a distinct privilege, and something he will cherish for the rest of his life. 'To have my name even associated with Heath Ledger's is a triumph in and of itself,' Yardley said at a press conference held at his Cedar Rapids apartment. 'But to be the one who was actually responsible for inserting that fateful month, day, and year, and to have essentially closed the parentheses on Mr. Ledger's life, fills me with a tremendous sense of humility, pride, and accomplishment.' 'I just want to thank Heath Ledger's family and friends for giving me the opportunity,' Yardley added. 'I'm sure they knew of his passing well before I did.' According to Yardley, upon reading the news of Ledger's death on CNN.com, his first thoughts were for Ledger's parents, baby daughter, and Michelle Williams, the actor's former fiance, . His next thought, for Ledger's Wikipedia page, came immediately, Yardley explained. So immediately, in fact, that, according to a list of IP addresses found in the entry's editing history, Yardley added the date into the free, user-generated online encyclopedia just three minutes after Ledger's death was first reported. 'When I saw that the only thing following Mr. Ledger's name was '4 April 1979,' I knew it was my responsibility as a citizen and a member of the online community to do something,' Yardley said. 'Somebody had to click on the page's edit function, and, using the correct font and syntax, bring the acclaimed actor's life to the solemn close it rightfully deserved.' Yardley said he had never met Ledger, but just weeks before his death watched A Knight's Tale on TBS and enjoyed it very much. Knowing that Ledger's Wikipedia page would be read by hundreds of millions of people, Yardley frantically wrote and rewrote the 15-character entry multiple times, repeatedly clicking on the 'show preview' option to make sure the spacing was perfect. 'I couldn't decide whether to write January as 'Jan.' or 'January,'' Yardley said. 'I ended up spelling out the month because I thought it was the respectful thing to do. That's also how whoever added the day of Anna Nicole Smith's death did it.' However, only moments after clicking on the 'Save page' button, Yardley realized he had neglected to change the word following the closing parenthesis from 'is' to 'was.' But when he attempted to make the correction, Yardley told reporters, he was 'deeply saddened' to find that somebody, between the time he added the death date and the time the page went live, had already altered that portion of Ledger's biography. 'I was shocked when I saw that,' said Yardley, adding that he took a personal moment to grieve the lost opportunity. 'But I guess that's how unpredictable life can be sometimes. One second you're on top of the world as the author of a crucial Wikipedia entry, and the next second it's all gone. Poof.' Said Yardley: 'If I could go back and change anything about that fateful day, that would surely be it.' Though Yardley is proud of all his contributions to the user-moderated encyclopedia, he noted that this recent triumph brought with it a greater level of fame than any of his previous Wikipedia updates, which include the number of attendees at a 2006 Dave Matthews concert and the name of Bruce Willis's dog. 'I don't want this to turn into some type of media spectacle,' Yardley said. 'I just want to continue doing what I do, far from the national spotlight, without worrying about who's keeping track.'

3	What Deal Did Donald Trump Make With Goldman Sachs?By Jon Rappoport Trump nominated Steven Mnuchin, a 17-year veteran of Goldman Sachs to be his Treasury Secretary. Stephen Bannon, another former Goldman Sachs banker, was named by Trump as his Chief Strategist in the White House. The sitting President of Goldman Sachs, Gary Cohn, has been named by Trump as Director of the National Economic Council, which, according to its website, coordinates policy-making for domestic and international economic issues. Trump nominated a Goldman Sachs outside lawyer, Jay Clayton of Sullivan Cromwell, to serve as Wall Streets top cop as Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Claytons wife currently works as a Vice President at Goldman Sachs. According to Politico, Goldman Sachs partner, Dina Powell, President of the Goldman Sachs Foundation, is Ivankas top adviser on policy and staffing. Then there is Erin Walsh who had worked at Goldman Sachs since 2010 as an Executive Director and head of its Office of Corporate Engagement for Asia PacificWalsh is now part of Trumps transition landing team for the State Department and is engaged in prepping the just retired CEO of ExxonMobil, Rex Tillerson, for his Senate confirmation hearing this week to become the Secretary of the Department of State, according to Politico. And there is yet another former Goldman Sachs banker, Anthony Scaramucci, who sits on Trumps transition team. The first question is: would a Trump-Goldman deal benefit Trump in a personal way? Wall Street On Parade offers possible clues. Now the Dow Jones company, MarketWatch, has reported that Trumps debt is held by more than 150 Wall Street firms. The New York Times has reported that Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company holds a loan on an office tower at 1290 Avenue of the Americas, a building that is 30 percent owned by Donald Trump. Some of the Trump debt held by Wall Street firms, according to media reports, includes Donald Trumps personal guarantee in the event of a default. The true owners of other Trump debt are shielded behind secretive Limited Liability Corporations If Trump is in trouble with those loans, if hes in danger of not being able to make his payments, then that fact could form the basis of a Goldman Sachs deal. Trump gets loan protection, Goldman gets a number of influential (and self-serving) seats at the big table in Trumps administration. Beyond this, Goldman Sachs isIll let Matt Taibbi describe them. From his classic 2010 Rolling Stone article: The worlds most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money. In fact, the history of the recent financial crisis [2008], which doubles as a history of the rapid decline and fall of the suddenly swindled dry American empire, reads like a Whos Who of Goldman Sachs graduates. By now, most of us know the major players. As George Bushs last Treasury secretary, former Goldman CEO Henry Paulson was the architect of the bailout, a suspiciously self-serving plan to funnel trillions of Your Dollars to a handful of his old friends on Wall Street. Robert Rubin, Bill Clintons former Treasury secretary, spent 26 years at Goldman before becoming chairman of Citigroup which in turn got a $300 billion taxpayer bailout from Paulson. Theres John Thain, the asshole chief of Merrill Lynch who bought an $87,000 area rug for his office as his company was imploding; a former Goldman banker, Thain enjoyed a multi-billion-dollar handout from Paulson, who used billions in taxpayer funds to help Bank of America rescue Thains sorry company. And Robert Steel, the former Goldmanite head of Wachovia, scored himself and his fellow executives $225 million in golden-parachute payments as his bank was self-destructing. Theres Joshua Bolten, Bushs chief of staff during the bailout, and Mark Patterson, the current Treasury chief of staff, who was a Goldman lobbyist just a year ago, and Ed Liddy, the former Goldman director whom Paulson put in charge of bailed-out insurance giant AIG, which forked over $13 billion to Goldman after Liddy came on board. The heads of the Canadian and Italian national banks are Goldman alums, as is the head of the World Bank, the head of the New York Stock Exchange, the last two heads of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York which, incidentally, is now in charge of overseeing Goldman The banks unprecedented reach and power have enabled it to turn all of America into a giant pump-and-dump scam, manipulating whole economic sectors for years at a time, moving the dice game as this or that market collapses, and all the time gorging itself on the unseen costs that are breaking families everywhere high gas prices, rising consumer credit rates, half-eaten pension funds, mass layoffs, future taxes to pay off bailouts So, Goldman Sachs wants to keep on doing what it has been doing. On the other hand, Trump wants a rising stock marketa symbolic signal that the economy is strong. Understanding that the market is manipulated by insiders, Trump would know where to go to make a deal. Goldman gives him rising market numbers, and Trump gives them what they want. How much of what they want? Another area where Goldman could provide help: assembling the funding for a major part of what appears to be an FDR New-Deal project to rebuild Americas infrastructure, putting large numbers of unemployed people back to work. The cost? At least a trillion dollars. Convincing Congress to back this planand also support Trumps tax cutscould run into a serious roadblock. The money has to come from somewhere. It might be useful to analyze the ominous levels of public debt accumulated by state governments. The debt is floated on bond issues, and someone has to underwrite and guarantee those issues. Banks like Goldman Sachs are in that business. Trump may have approached Goldman with the premise that, by creating whole swaths of new jobs across the country, the states tax revenues will rise, and therefore the payback on Goldmans investments will become more secure. It seems certain that Trump is leaning heavily on Goldman to run interference for him. He is walking a risk-laden path. Partnering with a vampire squid doesnt inspire confidence. Since I began writing and speaking about Trump (archive here), Ive emphasized that his millions of supporterswho actually want more freedom and more of what America should stand forhave to hold his feet to the fire when he takes a direction that spells trouble and runs counter to his announced aims. He is doing that now. Here are two final quotes from Wall Street On Parade: During the primary campaign, when it emerged that Trumps opponent Ted Cruz had received a loan from Goldman Sachs, Trump said that Cruz was owned by Goldman Sachs. During his political campaign, Donald Trump repeatedly railed against Wall Street with a specific focus on Goldman Sachs. In the final days of his campaign, Trump released an advertisementthat featured his opponent, Hillary Clinton, shaking hands with Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. As the image flickers on the screen, Trump does a voice over, stating: Its a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth, and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities. As the ad ends, Trump bares his soul: Im doing this for the people and for the movement and we will take back this country for you and we will make America great again. Has Trump convinced Goldman Sachs they can still make sky-high money in a genuinely strong American economy, with millions of new jobs? And without fake bubbles and crashes? Has he decided he must have Goldman on his side, if hes going to make economic progressthat, because of their power, there is no way around them? Or is Goldman playing along and working Trump and outflanking him? Finally, I wouldnt bother bringing any of this up if I didnt think Trump wants to do good things for this country. I have enumerated those intentions of his in other articles. Right out front, he continues his war against major media. He doesnt let up. This is vital, because those media have been functioning as the prime eyes, ears, and mouths of the nationand they are falling rapidly from that precipice. Which is a cause for celebration.

When Perry was the governor of Texas he supported the Security and Prosperity Partnership on the path to a North American regional government. Globalist Perry said he thought it would be a good idea if the US and Mexico blended their social security systems. Also, in 2007 Governor Perry issued an executive order mandating that Texas girls receive the HPV vaccine. When Perry was running for president in 2011 he said during a debate that if he won he would eliminate three government agencies. One of them was the Department of Energy. Hahaha the entertainment continues. Great catch, again!! Three ringed Illumi-naughty circus. Gotta wonder about Perry previously having said the Dept of E should be eliminated his nomination timed with a MASSIVE shift in capital underway in global energy sectors. For instance, Saudi Arabia under Vision 2030 and Russia Strategy 2030 are privatizing state assets Aramco and Rosneft, in turn, the monied interests in those nations are investing their capital all over the globe in large oil gas projects, solar, uranium mining, etc e.g. months ago the Saudis purchased the largest oil refinery in the US, and Rosneft BP coming together like Siamese twins in Russian projects. No disagreements behind the curtain as they fuse into a tangled monstrosity, the supranational corporate oligarch takeover of all resources one of the 4 pillars of UN2030. So. maybe the agenda is for a radical transformation of the US Dept of E to outwardly serve the wishes of the global energy titans wrapped by UN tentacles, rather than so-called American interests. Clearly TPTB dont want us to have a say in policies that directly affect us, the Dem Gov of CO threatening to sue a CO town for banning fracking near homes and schools, going so far as to meet with oil gas executives to pledge he would sic the state A.G. bulldog on the town. My-oh-my with all that major globalization in energy going on behind the scenes, Perry would be thrown into a wolf pack and totally out of his intellectual realm. Perhaps thats intentional. Or perhaps he brings with him some heavy Texan oil hitters who knows what really goes on at that level? But Ive known for years privatization was the beginning of the end of America. Every asset the taxpayers have funded is being sold to for-profit corporations that take the profits out and stash them in offshore or central banks. Dollars have been hemorrhaging out of this country for decades, never to be seen again, with no accountability. We are being silently raped and pillaged. Thats why 5D parents are homeschooling: decentralized education! Our snowy roads get cleared by neighbors with snow plows instead of waiting for the decrepit country DOT plows to show up because there is no money to pay the drivers overtime on weekends even though some taxpayers just might want to use their roads on the weekends. Its all part of the process of decentralization, taking responsibility instead of relying on criminals to take care of our needs. How this is going to butt heads with the globalists remains to be seen, but its all part of the inevitable timeline transition between the old/new paradigms. Well said, R. Have a great weekend! From James Corbett: Ten years ago, everybody was on MySpace. Ten years from now, the Twitters and Facebooks and YouTubes of today will be dinosaurs, abandoned by users sick of censorship and centralized control. Thankfully, the alternatives to these social media dinosaurs are already here, and theyre blockchain-based, torrent friendly, decentralized and censorship resistant. Thats what Im talkin about Have a great weekend yourself. Isnt it Perrys wife who has publicly contradicted him concerning womens reproductive rights? Hi See Janus. Happy New Year! ..I wasnt aware of that. Since the vast majority of what the minions say is scripted obfuscation, I tend to follow the money and watch what they do. Though, I note the conditioning. Lets remember, regardless of who won the election, the bankers/globalists still control our currency and can easily begin creating chaos whenever they wish. Fixing this system will take far more than a stroke of the pen. JFK tried. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer the Godfather You cant control a dog that is four feet in front of you. You need that dog close by, at your side, to grab its collar. The long list of cronies in Goldman was interesting. But what of it? Who actually repealed the laws that protected us from mergers of banks and investment companies???? Uhh. Our Congress. Who forced the banks to lend even tho they werent good loans? Janet Reno. I saw her in person as all that was going down. The Treasury threatened the banks with law suits et al. Everybody deserves a house and mortgage. The plan was on the GOVERNMENT side. Sure Goldman went along. The make money! You dangle money and they follow! trump needs to bring back and keep in the US the trillions of dollars under the sway of Goldman Sachs. Who else to stop theft and burglaries than a burglar. Goldman guys know the rules and the loopholes. Trump will have Goldman helping him to save the economy. Maybe even get the elite banks and the fed out of town. That would be later I think. So true! Goldman Sachs bank was one of the 8 banks that originally held class A stock in the Federal Reserve Bank. Their biggest competitor was Lehman Brothers Bank, another holder of Class A stock in the Fed, before the crash of 2008. After the crash, Lehman Brothers Bank, was not bailed out and allowed to fail. Now, there only 7 Banks holding Class A stock in the Fed. 3 in the U.S. and 4 in Europe. The Fed should be nationalized and actually become a Federal Bank that actually worked for the benefit of the people instead of the Fed.s stockholders. Part of the reason is there were no remaining Lehman Bros male heirs and all females had been married into the families of the other 7 banks. It was a simple estate planning maneuver. That is interesting! Where did you get that information? 
1	Students at Union Junior High School reported Monday that eighth-grade history teacher Evelyn Carmody, a tireless educator who has dedicated her whole life to the vocation of teaching, is a total goddamn bitch. I fucking hate her, 14-year-old Scarlett Ramsey said of the woman who not only stays up well past midnight providing individual feedback on each paper she grades, but also sets aside nearly $1,000 of her income each year to buy books and basic supplies for students who cant afford them. Give us homework over a three-day weekend? Who does that bitch think she is? I hope she dies. Sources also stated that eighth-grade English teacher Mark Bradstone, who doesnt really give a shit about his job and shows up hungover most mornings, is super popular and very cool. 
2	Hillarys Secret Service Agent Turns On Her... Reveals Sickening Thing Shes Been Covering Up Last week, Hillary Clintons campaign announced that she was suffering from pneumonia, hours after footage was leaked of her collapsing while leaving the 9/11 memorial. Now, a Secret Service agent who worked for the Clintons for almost a dozen years is speaking out to say that the incident was likely a seizure, rather than dehydration as her campaign originally claimed. Former Secret Service officer Gary Byrne wrote a long article this week, dismissing claims that Hillary was just suffering from overheating as highly suspect. Through the lens of my 29-year-career in The Service, I can see what a naked-eyed media pundit cannot: There is something seriously wrong with Mrs. Clinton, Byrne wrote. She awkwardly leans on the ballard and stares straight ahead with her neck craned and extended up as her body is supported at the side and rear by her staffers. Read more highlights of what the agent had to say below: The agent who opened the door moves to take the place of the staffer and take Mrs. Clintons arm, but as they switch control, she nearly falls completely. The bald agent, who I believe is the shift leader, knows what is going on with Mrs. Clinton and this oddity is very telling. As Mrs. Clinton jerks back and forth and her legs fold, the bald agent takes her right arm. The staffer also tries to also grab underneath Mrs. Clintons armpits to lift Mrs. Clinton. Close examination of Mrs. Clintons legs reveal her feet and legs have extended and are not holding her weight at all. The toes of her right foot drag and skid on the pavement. As they lift and push her forward, her legs dont keep up and she falls forward again. Byrne went on to claim that Clintons movements are indicative of a seizure, and pointed out how all the agents immediately rushes to hide Clinton from view after she collapsed. When I worked at the White House, a man exhibited the same exact behavior as he froze inside a medical detector. On his full time nurses request, I held him under the armpits and stood by him until his seizure passed, Byrne continued. What do you think about Byrnes claims? 
1	Sony Corporation chairman and CEO Howard Stringer gave the public a first glimpse of Steve, the latest model in the companys highly anticipated line of ideal electronics consumers, during the Sony Corporation of Americas annual stockholders meeting Monday. The new Steve will buy Sony products. The 72-inch, 195-pound consumera 34-year-old unmarried financial analystis smaller, lighter, and swifter than last years beta-model consumer, Larry. Larry was much less mobile, which worked well for electronics enjoyment but less so for purchasing, said Hideo Ichimonji, head of the design team for the Ideal Consumer Project. Also, the Larrys decision-processing became jammed when forced to choose from more than one potential Sony product. By implementing parallel-purchasing solutions and simplifying its personality traits, weve ensured that Steve will always be a loyal Sony customer without any annoying system shutdowns or buying freezes. Sony expects Steve to usher in a whole new generation of ideal consumers. With Steve, were introducing a range of cutting-edge consumer attributes that other electronics manufacturers can only dream of, Stringer said during the half-hour demonstration, in which Steve smoothly and quickly selected high-end Sony home-theater components it researched on a Sony VAIO laptop while interfacing with Sony customers worldwide using a Sony Ericsson mobile phone. The integration of Steves simultaneous multi-credit-card-processing capabilities with its high earning capability allows our new U.S.-market flagship consumer to purchase our entire North American product line in a single clock cycle. Steve sports larger, pre-calloused thumbs and is fully backwards-compatible with Sonys complete line of merchandise, extending back to the Trinitron television and cassette Walkman. Its debt threshold is also nearly two-thirds higher. Several thousand Steves will be shipped to Asia and Europe for test-shopping next month. Steve will come in six different colors, with analysts expecting the white and yellow models to be much more successful than the black version. Designers say Steves recharging capability is an improvement over Larrys bulky and cumbersome charge port, which resembled a La-Z-Boy recliner. Steve can recharge on any reasonably comfortable surface, including a couch, desktop, floor, futonanywhere thats within range of a Sony product, said Ichimonji, who also described the automatic sleep mode that activates when Steve has been out of contact with a Sony product for more than 30 minutes. The Steve also has the power to consume our products on-the-go for up to three days on one charge. Its also got a friendlier interface and improved social skills, and loves talking about Sony products in any social setting. Added Ichimonji: Or you can just put Steve in front of an HDTV or send it on its way with a Sony PSP, and youll forget he even exists. Industry experts have praised the redesign, particularly the enormous numbers of visual, aural, and purchasing-suggestion inputs Steve can support. But the most talked-about feature seems to be its built-in anti-obsolescence feature, which enables it to continuously upgrade its preferences for Sony merchandise. Steve definitely looks to be an improvement, said gaming enthusiast Jennie Weathers, 28, who planned to attend a demonstration at a Las Vegas electronics trade show this weekend. The Larry was clunky, slow, and always making noise. Steve has a lot more free time and the flexibility to adapt to Sony retail stores and shopping sites like SonyStyle. And it seems like hell require very little upkeep or attention, but hell still be there when I just want to chill out and watch DVDs on my Sony WEGA HDTV or need some quick cheat tips for Kingdom Hearts II. Analysts say that Steves only real competition comes from Apple Computers own ideal consumer, the iBuy. But because the much more expensive iBuy is designed only to purchase and enjoy the pricier, but limited Apple product line, and is not intershoperable with other systems, Steves appeal will likely prove much broader. Steve is scheduled for release in August, and Sony plans to have hundreds of thousands of models perusing store shelves by Christmas. 
3	The Book with the Red Cover: Writing ContestAlf Megson I was still filled with energy and enthusiasm and was inspired by the Green Partys strong showing in the European Elections and was moved to read the book The Truth Vibrations by their spokesperson, the erstwhile television presenter, David Icke, which further opened my eyes and mind. It was a time of quickening change and I felt like a tidal movement of people was about to engulf the political world and depose corrupt government. Unfortunately, this did not happen and I remember quite vividly the moment that the realisation dawned upon me as I sat watching an episode of the chat show, Wogan, on a friends tiny portable television. There was clearly something very wrong with the people watching. They behaved exactly like the audiences watching sitcoms being recorded; they responded not to their own thoughts and feelings but to cues. They were so well conditioned that they did not even need a production assistant to hold up cards telling them how to respond. I can only imagine how David Icke felt as he walked out of the BBC Television Centre that night, but I felt ashamed and devastated. It would be wrong to say that I had invested my hope in David Icke or a Green revolution but it had become clear that the greatest obstacle to saving humanity was humanity itself they were simply beyond the reach of reason, having conspired in their own consumer programming. The Gondwana had been rusting in Aukland, New Zealand for several years since the declaration of the Antarctic as a World Park, and Greenpeace had decided to sell the ship as they no longer had any use for an icebreaker class vessel. I was employed along with others to renovate it to increase its sale value. In many ways, it was like walking onto the Marie Celeste; the cupboards and freezer room were still full of food that was, in the main, quite edible if a bit unexpected there were huge chunks of unidentified frozen meat like volcanic rock formations. There were surprises to be found in lockers and cubbyholes every day. I was allowed to use the first mates cabin, which was quite a luxury for a deckhand, but there were only a handful of people onboard and most were volunteers who were there for only a week or two. The ships library was a vast miscellany representing the whims and interests of dozens of former crew members. I found some books of the cartoons of Ron Cobb which though originating in the 1960s and 1970s were as apposite in 1993 as they are now. But I also found another book, the title of which I cannot recall. I just remember that it had a red cover. I have tried to remember what it was called and have read many books since which could have been written before 1993 trying to find out. I had thought up to this point that I was pretty politically astute, but what I read in this book truly terrified me. It spoke of a global conspiracy which transcended everything I thought I knew. It described the higher echelons of secret societies and a global agenda of a hitherto unimaginable scale. I could scarcely comprehend the enormity of what was being revealed. I began having nightmares but oddly not about what I was reading, they were about aliens. One night, I was having one of these nightmares when I woke up. I opened my eyes but could not move. I was lying in my bunk facing the bulkhead and could see the light from the passageway reflected in the glossy, cream-coloured paint. There was a dark figure in the frame of the doorway. I tried to turn over to see who it was but was paralysed. Initially I felt terrified, but gradually I felt calm. Eventually, I fell asleep again, but I woke up with the clearest memory of what happened not the usual trickling away of a dream. One sunny day, the crew were taking their morning break as a cargo ship was trying to berth alongside us. The ships engines suddenly failed and it had no reverse thrust to stop. Its momentum carried it forward as the captain ordered both anchors to be dropped, but it was too late. The ships bow hit a crane on the quayside which toppled onto the one next to it which then also fell onto another crane. The last crane wobbled and for a moment looked like it would fall on top of us. I remember standing on the deck, frozen, staring at the spectacle, coffee half way to my agape lips, as our former neighbours crashed to the ground. Within no time the whole area was swarming with police, ambulances, and journalists. The few people who had actually seen the events unfold were too shocked to speak we sat huddled on the quayside watching the affray from afar yet the journalists could be heard telling the emergency services what had happened. The newspaper headline that evening was, Kran Domino Im Hafen and the media had managed to tell a convincing story about the incident without even talking to anybody who witnessed it. At first this was quite amusing, but years later it became quite an authentic metaphor. From then on, the nightmares were not so intense and in some ways were quite amusing. I remember one in particular in which the aliens were like Laurel and Hardy or Abbot and Costello. The book left me with a profound feeling of both fear and understanding. I thought I had kept it on the shelf in my cabin. When the Gondwana was finally sold, the crew who had been working on there were told that they could help themselves to any bits and pieces which remained and I took a few souvenirs. But I searched my cabin and went through every shelf in the library and drawer in the mess room trying to find either the Ron Cobb books or the book with the red cover. When I returned to England, it felt like I was alone in the world with my newly discovered knowledge. It was difficult to start a conversation about a topic which had no point of reference and nobody took the slightest notice of me when I tried. And so it was until in April 2001, I watched the Jon Ronson television series Secret Rulers of the World. Only then did I become aware that the knowledge I had found was shared with people like David Icke and Alex Jones. I began reading David Ickes other books and listening to Alex Jones on my poor dial-up Internet connection and found that there were many others who were not oppressed by their ignorance. What happened next, in September 2001, became the defining and crystallising moment that consolidated many of the elements in The Secret Rulers of the World. The events of 9/11 opened a cleft out of which spilled the rotten horror of global truth. Not merely the destructive acts, but the subtext; the evil beneath, and psychological assault which followed, as well as the grand design which had been laid out before me in the book with the red cover.

Watch his shocking confession below and tell us what you think. 
2	Jennifer Lawrence Makes Bold Claim About Christianity And Jesus Hollywood has become a notoriously liberal place, and the majority of todays stars have little respect for American history and traditional values. Instead of using their fame to further our country, many young stars seem intent on rebelling against it. This was demonstrated once again when Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence decided to make fun of Kentucky, the state where she was born and raised. In a recent interview with Vogue, Lawrence claimed that Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis, who was arrested after choosing not to sign off on gay marriage licenses, made her feel embarrassed to be from the state. Dont even say her name in this house, Lawrence commented. All of those people holding their crucifixes, which may as well be pitchforks, thinking theyre fighting the good fight. I grew up in Kentucky. I know how they are. Lawrence then went on to claim that the Republican party doesnt support womens basic rights. Although Lawrence was raised a Republican, she was quick to disregard her roots. Its 2015 and gay people can get married and we think that weve come so far, so yay! she commented. But have we? I dont want to stay quiet about that stuff. What do you think? Are you disappointed in Jennifer Lawrence and how she is choosing to use her influence?

3	Is the U.S. Immigration Policy Dangerous to Society?Op-Ed by Catherine J. Frompovich Below are several videos, which are self-explanatory, regarding screw-ups by the Department of Homeland Security regarding verified criminal aliens whom DHS has released FREE in to U.S. society, instead of deporting them back to their countries of origin. In this video, Chairman Jason Chaffetz, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, recites an impressive litany of those criminals crimes and releases by DHS during the April 28, 2016 hearing, which you probably will find exceptionally hard to believe could have happened, but did. In this video Chairman Chaffetz takes on a witness, Jonathan E. Meyer, the deputy general counsel for the Department of Homeland Security, and accused the DHS counsel of witness intimidation! What? I wasnt in the room, but what Ive been told by staff is he [the witness] was willing to answer the question, he started to answer the question, when counsel jumped in and insisted that he not answer the question, thats what I have a problem with, Chaffetz said. [1] And rightfully so, Chairman Chaffetz. Maybe The Donald isnt that off the wall with his immigration remarks. Listen for yourself how American citizens and our safety are being jeopardized by Homeland Security and current immigration protocols. Rep. DeSantis of Florida talks about criminals released in this video. Rep. Trey Gowdy mentions sanctuary cities plus more, and asks some very pointed questions here. After listening to the above regarding immigration-enforcement-gone-wrong with alien criminals roaming freely in the USA as guests of the DHS, we really need to consider seriously what happened a few years back to a former DHS agent and whats the DHS up to anyway. From whom do such harassment and intimidation orders come? Is there really such a thing as a shadow government alive and well in the USA, as has been bandied around? If so, shouldnt it be exposed by mainstream media, TV and a congressional investigation? Good question?! Heres something to consider: The dramatic and chilling story told by former DHS agent, Julia Davis, as she talks about her experiences being declared a domestic terrorist because she followed the book regarding reporting an unprecedented breach of security during a heightened terror alert. Furthermore, she says that there were 54 investigations against her, plus a Blackhawk helicopter landing on her front lawn; agents broke down her doorcommando-stylewith no search warrant! Moreover, those agents worked over her elderly sick father. During that work over, he experienced a heart attack but they provided no help when he told them he was having a heart attack and asked for his medicine and water. That heart attack proved to be a fatal event. Is that the way humans are to be treated by U.S. government agencies and agents? I certainly hope not! Julia Daviss chilling first-hand report of government agency terror perpetrated on a former government employee of the USA for doing her job correctly should have everyone questioning whats really going on and demanding answers from Congress and the media. Furthermore, and even more tragic, Daviss neighbor, who had made the video of that raid during real time, then gave it to Julia, subsequently was found dead in his house. He was a young man too! Shouldnt immigration be a dominant main issue in the 2016 presidential election and openly discussed as part of party platforms?

Regarding the brave Julia Davis, not only was her neighbor murdered, but also her friend, the young actress Brittany Murphy and her husband Simon Monjack. Murphy was going to testify for Davis. The Reece Commission circa 1952-1954, a congressional investigation into the hidden hand of elite sponsored foundations (Ford, Rockefeller, Carnegie, etc.) promoting communism in the US found that indeed there are entities controlling and directing US policies under the guise of philanthropy. The report was submerged, ignored, an attempt was made to collect and destroy or hide all copies but at least one survived and surfaced for scrutiny by activists. There was a congressional that was poisoned circa the McCarthy era.

1	A new study from the University of Pennsylvania revealed Wednesday that 81 percent of Americans experience muscle tension, elevated heart rate, and profuse sweating when asked what kind of music they most enjoy listening to. 'I got so nervous I ended up just blurting out, 'Ween,' and sure, they're fine, but I have no idea why that was the first thing out of my mouth,' said 28-year-old Richard Rowe, a participant in the study in which a request to specify even one genre preference induced stress levels seldom observed outside of military combat zones. 'Then I muttered something about liking 'a lot '70s guitar stuff.' I hope that didn't make me sound lame.' The doctors conducting the study recommended that people confronted with the question in real life should answer, 'Yes, I like music,' and then quickly walk away. 
1	The University of Texas released a report Monday stating that, for some inexplicable reason, gasoline, a steadily depleting, non-renewable fossil fuel buried far beneath the earth's surface, is still far less expensive than the milk of a cow. Milk, a plentiful substance which is not made of dinosaur remains and requires no multi-million-dollar machinery to draw it from deep within the earth's core, costs approximately $2.45 a gallon, compared to $1.30 for a gallon of gas. 'This is puzzling,' University of Texas agriculture-school professor Herbert Roth said. 'It's almost as if someone is trying to get people to buy more gas.' 
1	Despite claims from the TV news outlet to offer 'nonstop news' and 'coverage you can count on,' an selfnews investigation has uncovered hundreds of instances in which KAMR Channel 4 10 OClock Eyewitness News team relied almost exclusively on news reports, weather forecasts, and even special-interest features already generated by the stations 6 OClock Eyewitness News team. The investigation found that 10 OClock News Team is in fact not the 'team you can trust.' In an examination of 98 consecutive prime-time and late-night broadcasts, including dozens more nationwide, the Amarillo-based stationthe regions self-styled 'News Leader'repeatedly ran pieces for its Health Beat, Pet Patrol, and Bargain Busters segments in both evening news slots, and regularly relayed the same weather updates and traffic reports up to 15 times a day. KAMR even routinely rehashed 6 p.m. footage for seemingly urgent 'breaking news' reports, most recently the Plum Creek Nursing Home power outage and the Bonham Middle School roof collapse. In an April incident involving the 10 p.m. recap of a local Cancer Fun Run, anchor Andy Justus read almost the exact same copy introducing the piece as he had just four hours earlier, while reporter Shalandys Anderson altered only one word between broadcasts, changing 'heartwarming' to 'inspiring.' 'If theyre on our side, as they claim, what, then, is a purportedly professional news team doing in the four hours between broadcasts?' Amarillo resident and frequent local-news viewer Mark Jette said. During another 10 p.m. broadcast, 'live continuing coverage' from reporter Matt Orlando of a two-alarm Elwood Park house fire consisted almost wholly of previously aired footage of the firefighters in action. The lack of updated footage disappointed viewers such as Hereford, TXs Kelly Byer, whose mild curiosity about the blaze, first piqued at the 6 p.m. newscast, went ungratified. <h3>'We'll continue to watch this important breaking news story.'</h3><p>Elizabeth Dinh, after a report on a broken gas main, which had already run in two previous newscasts</p> 'Its true that the image of that scorched little doll was powerful and may have bore repeating, but where was the follow-up footage of the devastated family at a Red Cross shelter?' Byer said. 'Or some fresh b-roll of the charred ruins of the house? The public deserves better.' The investigation also found the 10 p.m. KAMR broadcast consistently re-aired closing stock numbers and high-school baseball highlights and sports bloopers, its producers and anchors apparently unaware or indifferent to the fact that the information was hours old and already common knowledge among viewers. 'They say that the 6 oclock news team is the areas most watched news team,' Jette said. 'Especially by the 10 oclock news team.' Just last Tuesday, investigative reporter Meaghan Colliers 'Problem Solvers' segment on squalid conditions at a local dog kennel aired again at 10 p.m. without even a cursory update on the broken-legged puppy featured in the report. 'Their Scorching Summer coverage was even worse,' Jette continued. 'How many times do you have to repeat the same cool tips before all of Amarillo is crystal clear on exactly how to beat the heat?' While KAMR was a particularly flagrant offender, it is by no means alone. In a segment about the San Diego Zoos baby pandas, KFMB- TV-8s News At 11 not only offered footage identical to the previous telecast, but practically indistinguishable coos of affection from the co-anchor. At some stations, the problem goes far beyond one-time reuse. An 11 p.m. segment on heart-smart dinner alternatives on New Haven, Connecticuts WTNH Channel 8 was not only previously seen on the 6 p.m. news, but also on Live At 5, The 4 Report, and The News At Noon With Sonia Baghdady. Another piece on the citys aging school buses was rotated into the following days Good Morning New Haven! as well. In extreme examples, such as in Louisville, KYs WLKY-TV prime-time and late-night newscasts, the only distinguishable characteristic is the lead anchors concluding suggestion to 'stay tuned for [David Lettermans] The Late Show.' Despite the mounting controversy over the KAMR Channel 4 team, the investigation was unable to conclusively prove that the hopeful wishes to see viewers the next day, and the camaraderie and laughter shared between co-anchors Kyla Cullinane and Elizabeth Dinh, were anything less than genuine. 
3	New Study Reveals Children Are Being Poisoned by Common School SuppliesAndrew Puhanic, Contributor A new study published by the Centre for Health, Environment and Justice titled Hidden Hazards: Toxic Chemicals Inside Childrens Vinyl Back-to-School Supplies has revealed that common school supplies are laden with toxic chemicals that have been banned in toys. It was identified that school supplies made out of softened vinyl plastic contained dangerous levels of phthalates. Phthalates are known to be hazardous even at very low levels of exposure. At high levels of exposure they can disrupt hormones, and have been linked to birth defects, infertility, early puberty, asthma, ADHD, obesity, diabetes, and cancer. A summary of the results of the study are as follows: Not only have dangerous levels of phthalates been found in backpacks and other common school supplies, they have also been found in school lunch boxes. One lunch box sold by Disney contained an alarming 29 times the limit set by US Federal Health Agencies. If this lunch box was considered a toy, it would be banned in the United States of America. Another lunch box sold under the Spiderman franchise was found to contain 27 times the limit set by US Federal Health Agencies. How to Avoid Exposing Your Children to Phthalates Thankfully, there are ways parents can avoid exposing their children to this dangerous substance. It is suggested that parents take note of the following: The report recommends government agencies begin labeling which products contain phthalates.

3	Brain Imaging Tech Opens Up New Door to Predicting BehaviorNicholas West The ongoing investment in the field of neuroscience has opened up many pathways to theoretically making direct remote mind control possible, as well as mapping the brain for other social engineering applications. We are now beginning to enter an era where new findings are starting to become openly actionable. The following snapshot of articles highlights this trend, as does the latest press release from MIT (posted in full below), which shows how this technology is expanding beyond mere terrorism and other serious criminality. In chronological order: Press Release: Brain imaging may help predict future behavior (My emphasis and comments added) Noninvasive brain scans, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging, have led to basic science discoveries about the human brain, but theyve had only limited impacts on peoples day-to-day lives. A review article published in the January 7 issue of the Cell Press journal Neuron, however, highlights a number of recent studies showing that brain imaging can help predict an individuals future learning, criminality, health-related behaviors, and response to drug or behavioral treatments. The technology may offer opportunities to personalize educational and clinical practices. (Predictive health applications, including mental health, are embedded in Obamacare and are slated to be rolled out; please read this essential article by Jon Rappoport Obamacare: watch out, here comes predictive modeling' N.W.) Dr. John Gabrieli of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge and his colleagues describe the predictive power of brain imaging across a variety of different future behaviors, including infants later performance in reading, students later performance in math, criminals likelihood of becoming repeat offenders, adolescents future drug and alcohol use, and addicts likelihood of relapse. Presently, we often wait for failure, in school or in mental health, to prompt attempts to help, but by then a lot of harm has occurred, says Dr. Gabrieli. If we can use neuroimaging to identify individuals at high risk for future failure, we may be able to help those individuals avoid such failure altogether. The authors also point to the clear ethical and societal issues that are raised by studies attempting to predict individuals behavior. We will need to make sure that knowledge of future behavior is used to personalize educational and medical practices, and not be used to limit support for individuals at higher risk of failure, says Dr. Gabrieli. For example, rather than simply identifying individuals to be more or less likely to succeed in a program of education, such information could be used to promote differentiated education for those less likely to succeed with the standard education program. *** One could easily imagine that the above interest in predictive behavior creating a differentiated (think tiered) learning and health system, combined with modern-day genetics research, is leading us quickly down the path that will make fiction like Gattaca a day-to-day reality. As Ive stated many times, ethical concerns are clearly an afterthought to the experimentation itself Just read Biotech Seeking Ways to Make People Suffer Eternally for a striking example of who is at the forefront of ethics proving that those involved in this research are ill-equipped to provide their own oversight. The precautionary principle is routinely abandoned in favor of scientific tinkering and the release of unforeseen consequences. Except, in this case, DARPA has foreseen the consequences of predictive behavior technology, and is all too eager to ensure its full-spectrum rollout. Related selfnews Post Article: 
3	Supreme Court Rules Warrantless Forced Blood Draws for DUI UnconstitutionalBy Jay Syrmopoulos The ruling stemmed from three cases in Minnesota and North Dakota in which drivers challenged implied consent laws as a violation of the Constitutions ban on unreasonable searches and seizures. The laws had previously withstood challenges in state courts. Although drivers in all 50 U.S. states can have their licenses revoked for refusing drunk driving tests, todays ruling specifically affects 11 states that have laws that impose criminal penalties beyond license suspension for such refusals. According to a report by Associated Press: Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito said breath tests do not implicate significant privacy concerns. Unlike blood tests, breathing into a breathalyzer doesnt pierce the skin or leave a biological sample in the governments possession, he said. Six justices agreed with Alitos opinion on breath tests, though Justice Clarence Thomas wrote separately to say he would have found both tests valid without a warrant under the Constitution. Thomas called any distinction between breath and blood tests an arbitrary line in the sand. Other states that have criminalized a drivers refusal to take alcohol blood or breath tests include Alaska, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Nebraska, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont and Virginia. The states argued that alcohol testing is a legitimate condition for being allowed the privilege of using publicly owned roads. They claim it was too much of a burden to have to obtain a warrant each time someone refused a test, as some rural areas only have one judge on call on weekends or in the late night hours. Some of the justices challenged this suggestion during oral arguments, pointing out that even in rural areas, a simple phone call by police to a judge can get a warrant within minutes. Those challenging the law claimed that warrantless searches are reserved for extraordinary circumstances, noting that a routine driving under the influence stop should be treated as a regular function of law enforcement where constitutional protections apply. In a separate opinion penned by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, and joined by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, which vigorously defended the rights of individual citizens, Sotomayor said she would have required search warrants for both breath and blood alcohol tests stating that no governmental interest makes it impractical for an officer to get a warrant before measuring a drivers alcohol level. The Fourth Amendment prohibits such searches without a warrant, unless exigent circumstances exist in a particular case, Sotomayor said. Of course, no one here is advocating for drunk driving. However, the extent to which police will go to enforce this misdemeanor is becoming glaringly tyrannical. The following footage filmed inGeorgia shows cops strapping down citizens to gurneys,before using a needle to forcibly draw blood as the victim screams, WHAT COUNTRY IS THIS? Even those who show no resistance whatsoever are forcibly restrained and have their heads pressed down by an officer using his elbow. We all are American citizens and you guys have me strapped to a table like Im in Guantanamo f***ing Bay,says one of the victims poignantly drawing the comparison between the American police state and the military industrial complex. While it is certainly good news to hear that people will no longer be strapped down against their will, without a court order, and forcibly have their bodily fluids removed by agents of the State, the fact that the court failed to fully safeguard individual liberty is in line with a long trend of recent Supreme Court decisions that have essentially destroyed the Fourth Amendment. Aside from the Fourth Amendment considerations, forcing individuals to incriminate themselves, under penalty of law, violates the Fifth Amendment, as it compels suspects to provide evidence against themselves under threat of criminal prosecution. Jay Syrmopoulos is a political analyst, 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, Raw Story, MintPress News, as well as many other sites, such as TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared.

Its nothing more than a crumb to appease after turning us into a police state by ruling illegal evidence can be used against us. legitimate condition for being allowed the privilege of using publicly owned roads Travel is a fundamental right, and does not require permission from the state; unless you are using the public roads for commerce. emmanuelozon, please drop the courts invented commerce garbage trying to remove rights. Bout time the Supremes voted an unconstitutional law out the window. Agreed that drunk driving can cause injury to persons and property. The practice of blowing or drawing blood VIOLATES THE FIFTH AMENDMENT. You CANNOT BE COMPELLED TO GIVE EVIDENCE AGAINST YOURSELF. NO ONE IS WRITING ABOUT THIS. PASS THE WORD. Its not only the fifth. Is tasing a person to draw their blood against their will a constitutional violation? I was strapped down and THEN repeatedly tased. I really doesnt seem right that I have scars and PTSD now. Dont get too excited. They may not be able to prosecute you, but they can still suspend your license for refusal. Getting it reinstated is nearly impossible. 
1	A number of medal winners at the 2010 Winter Olympics admitted Tuesday that they looked forward to exchanging their inexplicably beat-up medals for regular ones that weren't completely dented for some reason. 'When I was on the podium, I was like, what the hell is this?' said speed skater Shani Davis, adding that his gold and silver medals looked as though they had been 'beat to shit.' 'Then I figured that they were just using these old medals for the ceremony so nobody would lose the nice, normal, non-fucked-up ones during all the excitement. I know a bunch of people who just recycled theirs afterward.' Alpine skier Julia Mancuso told reporters that she knew an auto-body guy who could probably hammer her medals flat. 
3	The Collapse Of The Too Big To Fail Banks In Europe Is HereBy Michael Snyder Lets start with Deutsche Bank. The stock of the most important bank in the strongest economy in Europe plunged another 8 percent on Monday, and it is now hovering just above the all-time record low that was set during the last financial crisis. Overall, the stock price is now down a staggering 36 percent since 2016 began, and Deutsche Bank credit default swaps are going parabolic. Of course my readers were alerted to major problems at Deutsche Bank all the way back in September, and now the endgame is playing out. In addition to Deutsche Bank, the list of other too big to fail banks in Europe that appear to be in very serious trouble includes Commerzbank, Credit Suisse, HSBC and BNP Paribas. Just about every major bank in Italy could fall on that list as well, and Greek bank stocks lost close to a quarter of their value on Monday alone. Financial Armageddon has come to Europe, and the entire planet is going to feel the pain. The collapse of the banks in Europe is dragging down stock prices all over the continent. At this point, more than one-fifth of all stock market wealth in Europe has already been wiped out since the middle of last year. That means that we only have four-fifths left. The following comes fromUSA Today The MSCI Europe index is now down 20.5% from its highest point over the past 12 months, says SP Global Market Intelligence, placing it in the 20% decline that unofficially defines a bear market. Europes stock implosion makes the U.S. sell-off look like childs play. The U.S.-centric Standard Poors 500 Monday fell another 1.4% but its only down 13% from its high. Some individual European markets are getting hit even harder. The Milan MIB 30, Madrid Ibex 35 and MSCI United Kingdom indexes are off 29%, 23% and 20% from their 52-week highs, respectively as investors fear the worse could be headed for the Old World. These declines are being primarily driven by the banks. According toMarketWatch, European banking stocks have fallen for six weeks in a row, and this is the longest streak that we have seen since the heart of the last financial crisis The regions banking gauge, the Stoxx Europe 600 Banks Index FX7, -5.59% has logged six straight weeks of declines, its longest weekly losing stretch since 2008, when banks booked 10 weeks of losses, beginning in May, according to FactSet data. The current environment for European banks is very, very bad. Over a full business cycle, I think its very questionable whether banks on average are able to cover their cost of equity. And as a result that makes it an unattractive investment for long-term investors, warned Peter Garnry, head of equity strategy at Saxo Bank. Overall, Europes banking stocks are down 23 percent year to date and 39 percent since the peak of the market in the middle of last year. The financial crisis that began during the second half of 2015 is picking up speed over in Europe, and it isnt just Deutsche Bank that could implode at any moment. Credit Suisse is the most important bank in Switzerland, and they announced a fourth quarter loss of5.8 billion dollars. The stock price has fallen 34 percent year to date, and many are now raising questions about the continued viability of the bank. Similar scenes are being repeated all over the continent. On Monday we learned that Russia had just shut down two more major banks, and the collapse of Greek banks has pushed Greek stock pricesto a 25-year low Greek stocks tumbled on Monday to close nearly eight percent lower, with bank shares losing almost a quarter of their market value amid concerns over the future of government reforms. The general index on the Athens stock exchange closed down 7.9 percent at 464.23 points a 25-year-low while banks suffered a 24.3-percent average drop. This is what a financial crisis looks like. Fortunately things are not this bad here in the U.S. quite yet, but we are on the exact same path that they are. One of the big things that is fueling the banking crisis in Europe is the fact that the too big to fail banks over there have more than 100 billion dollars of exposure to energy sector loans. This makes European banks even more sensitive to the price of oil than U.S. banks. The following comesfrom CNBC The four U.S. banks with the highest dollar amount of exposure to energy loans have a capital position 60 percent greater than European banks Deutsche Bank, UBS, Credit Suisse and HSBC, according to CLSA research using a measure called tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio. Or, as Mayo put it, U.S. banks have more quality capital. Analysts at JPMorgan saw the energy loan crisis coming for Europe, and highlighted in early January where investors might get hit. [Standard Chartered] and [Deutsche Bank] would be the most sensitive banks to higher default rates in oil and gas, the analysts wrote in their January report. There is Deutsche Bank again. It is funny how they keep coming up. In the U.S., the collapse of the price of oil is pushing energy company after energy company into bankruptcy. This has happened 42 times in North America since the beginning of last year so far, and rumors that Chesapeake Energy is heading that direction caused their stock price to plummeta staggering 33 percent on Monday Energy stocks continue to tank, with Transocean (RIG) dropping 7% and Baker Hughes (BHI) down nearly 5%. But those losses pale in comparison with Chesapeake Energy (CHK), the energy giant that plummeted as much as 51% amid bankruptcy fears. Chesapeake denied its currently planning to file for bankruptcy, but its stock still closed down 33% on the day. And lets not forget about the ongoing bursting of the tech bubble that I wrote about yesterday. On Monday the carnage continued, and this pushed the Nasdaq down to its lowest levelin almost 18 months Technology shares with lofty valuations, including those of midcap data analytics company Tableau Software Inc and Internet giant Facebook Inc, extended their losses on Monday following a gutting selloff in the previous session. Shares of cloud services companies such as Splunk Inc and Salesforce.com Inc had also declined sharply on Friday. They fell again on Monday, dragging down the Nasdaq Composite index 2.4 percent to its lowest in nearly 1-1/2 years. Those who read my articles regularly know that I have been warning this would happen. All over the world we are witnessing a financial implosion. As I write this article, the Japanese market has only been open less than an hour and it is already down 747 points. The next great financial crisis is already here, and right now we are only in the early chapters. Ultimately what we are facing is going to be far worse than the financial crisis of 2008/2009, and as a result of this great shaking the entire world is going to fundamentally change.

Maybe we could just get rid of the concept of money. Very bad idea unless you go to gift economy or bartering. They will issue you a # and will know every single thing you purchase and profile you based on that. You mean exactly what is happening now anyway? Money is debt. Its created out of thin air and has no real value except what the banksters give it. The RFID chips in your bankcard will soon be implanted at birth to protect the children. If you dont like the system theyll just turn you off. Consider these quotes: The nation state as a fundamental unit of mans organized life has Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against Well said LudVanB I just discovered this evening through the Credit Agricole online that a pan-European inter-bank shut-down will occur from Friday, March 25 to Monday, March 28. This means that if you want any money transactions, do them by Thursday, 24 and dont expect banks to re-open before Tuesday, 29th. They always warned that things would happen on a weekend but apparently here, we have some warning. 
3	Woman fined $600-a-day for feeding the poor in PhillyFox News 
3	Not By Bread Alone Shall One LiveCatherine J Frompovich Todays wheat has been crossbred and tinkered with in many ways. According to nutritionist Natasha Longo, Natasha Longos excellent dissertation Why 80 Percent of People Worldwide Will Soon Stop Eating Wheat along with its apparent health-producing problems appears here. Ms. Longo does an excellent job of fulfilling all the requisites of journalism, i.e., answering most of the who, what, where, when, and why questions. Several issues concerning wheat need to be addressed. One, in particular, is giving children wheat-based snacks, i.e., cookies, pretzels, small finger-size goodies that can be harmful to digestive processes and toddlers intestinal tracts, which are not fully developed or in the process of becoming food-oriented much before two years of age, thus setting up a child for food problems. What needs to be pointed out, this writer thinks, is this: Giving infants and toddlers grains in any form to eat before children are able to chew grains and their flours well enough to provide saliva to ensalivate them, is not considered digestive-tract-friendly eating. Phytic acid in wheat is problematic for the gut, so that adds another dimension in addition to gluten problems, agricultural chemicals like glyphosate in GMO farming, and food processing chemicals, additives, and preservatives. The Weston A. Price Foundation provides an excellent primer on phytic acid and phytates here. According to an article in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, [1] humans are eating about 15 pounds of gluten per year, a 25 percent increase since the 1970s. In the chart on page 1157, its quite apparent how dramatically proteins in wheat have increased between 1925 and 1938, from 12.49% to 18.78% probably something Nature wasnt intending, but resulted from crossbreeding. Now, heres a question: If thats what happened from crossbreeding wheat, what is going on with, and from, genetically modified crops with their transgenic and cisgenic modifications, plus all the glyphosate spraying in the growing fields? This website differentiates between transgenic and cisgenic modifications Getting back to wheat, since the average slice of bread contains about 1.8 grams of gluten or 1800 mg, we need to realize that intestinal distress can occur quickly, since 50 to 100 mg of gluten per day can trigger celiac-diagnosed-patients, who are in remission, into intestinal distress. [2] However, many gluten-free foods are made with GMO ingredients like soy, corn, cornstarch, beet sugar, and chemical processing, manufacturing, and preservative additives that can interactor even trigger distresswithin an already celiac-compromised, gluten-intolerant gut. Furthermore, theres a wheat product called vital gluten, which is powdered gluten that is added to many foods, especially by professional bakeries and bakers. The closest grain to the original wheat Nature gave us is the heirloom wheat-like grain, spelt, which does contain gluten, but is more soluble than the gluten in wheat. That may be a defining factor for why spelt may work for some folks who are gluten sensitive, but needs to be considered very seriously. If one is gluten intolerant, it is best to be safe than sorry! The upshot or take-away information from this article is this: Wheat ought to be considered a dietary problem for anyone with any type of diseaseincluding obesityfrom digestive disorders to inflammatory diseases to allergies, especially young children who are on the autism spectrum disorder or have experienced any allergic reactions to vaccines, which can precipitate gut problems, digestive or intestinal distress. As a nutritionist who matriculated in natural nutrition and did research in prenatal and infant nutrition, this writer believes it is imperative that non-organically-grown food can be regarded as unsuspecting bioweapons capable of causing more disease and harm than we realize.

3	25 Signs That The Smart Money Has Completely Written Off Southern EuropeMichael Snyder, Contributor When it comes to the financial world, it is important to listen to what the smart money is saying, but it is much more important to watch what the smart money is actually doing. The ultra-wealthy and those that run the biggest financial institutions on the planet are far more connected to what is really going on in financial circles behind the scenes than you and I could ever hope to be. But if we watch their behavior we can get clues as to what they think is about to happen. As is the case with so many other things, if you want to figure out what is really going on in Europe, just follow the money. And right now, money is rapidly flowing out of southern Europe and into northern Europe. In fact, some large corporations are now pulling the money that they make in Greece during the day out of the country every single night. It is becoming increasingly clear that the upper crust of the financial world considers a Greek exit from the euro to be inevitable and that it also considers much of the rest of southern Europe to be a lost cause. Unfortunately, a financial collapse across southern Europe is also likely to trigger another devastating global recession. Even though all the warning signs were there, very few people actually expected to see the kind of financial crisis that we saw back in 2008. But it happened. Now very few people actually expect another Lehman Brothers moment to happen in Europe although the warning signs are all around us. Sadly, most people never want to believe the truth until it is too late. #1 Lloyds of London is publicly admitting that it is rapidly making preparations for a collapse of the eurozone. #2 According to the New York Times, top global law firms are advising their clients to withdraw all cash and all other liquid assets from Greece. So their advice is blunt: Remove cash and other liquid assets from Greece and prepare to take a short-term hit on any other investments. My personal view is that it is irrational for anyone, whether a corporation or an individual, to be leaving money in Greek financial institutions, so long as there is a credible prospect of a euro zone exit, said Ian M. Clark, a partner in London for White Case, a global law firm that has a team of 10 lawyers focusing on the issue. #3 According to CNBC, large numbers of wealthy Europeans have been moving their money from banks in southern Europe to banks in northern Europe. Financial advisers and private bankers whose clients have accounts too large to be covered by a Europe-wide guarantee on deposits up to 100,000 euros ($125,000), are reporting a bank run by wire transfer that has picked up during May. Much of this money has headed north to banks in London, Frankfurt and Geneva, financial advisers say. Its been an ongoing process but it certainly picked up pace a couple of weeks ago We believe there is a continuous 2-3 year bank run by wire transfer, said Lorne Baring, managing director at B Capital, a Geneva-based pan European wealth management firm. #4 The President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, Charles Plosser, says that the Federal Reserve is advising money market funds to reduce their exposure to Europe. The Fed and regulators have tried to stress to money market funds, for example, to reduce their exposure to European financial institutions. #5 The yield on 10-year Spanish bonds is rapidly moving toward the very important 7 percent level. #6 Many multinational corporations that operate in Greece are now pulling their funds out of the country on a nightly basis. #7 Juergen Fitschen, the co-CEO of Deutsche Bank, has publicly proclaimed that Greece is a failed state. #8 The head of the Swiss central bank has admitted that Switzerland is developing an action plan for how it will handle the collapse of the eurozone. #9 The European Commission has urged all member states to develop contingency plans for a Greek exit from the euro. Last week, the European Commission said that it has asked member states to make plans to deal with a potential Greek exit, ahead of a second round of Greek elections on 17 June. #10 PIMCO CEO Mohamed El-Erian says that a Greek exit from the euro is probably inevitable. #11 Spanish stocks continue to drop like a rock. #12 The percentage of bad loans on the books of Spanish banks has reached an 18-year high. #13 Late on Friday, the Spanish government announced that banking giant Bankia is going to need a 19 billion euro bailout. #14 Standard Poors downgraded the credit ratings of five more Spanish banks to junk status on Friday. #15 Moodys downgraded the credit ratings of 16 Spanish banks back on May 17th. #16 According to the Telegraph, struggling European banks could be seized and controlled by Brussels as part of secret plans being drawn up. #17 The head of equity strategy at Societe Generale, Claudia Panseri, is warning that European stocks could fall by as much as 50 percent if Greece leaves the euro. #18 Economist Marc Faber is warning that there is now a 100% chance that there will be another global recession. #19 There seems to be an increasing attempt to pin the problems that Greece is now experiencing on the behavior of Greek citizens. The following are some of the shocking things that the head of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, said in a recent interview. Do you know what? As far as Athens is concerned, I also think about all those people who are trying to escape tax all the time. All these people in Greece who are trying to escape tax. Even more than she thinks about all those now struggling to survive without jobs or public services? I think of them equally. And I think they should also help themselves collectively. How? By all paying their tax. Yeah. It sounds as if shes essentially saying to the Greeks and others in Europe, youve had a nice time and now its payback time. Thats right. She nods calmly. Yeah. And what about their children, who cant conceivably be held responsible? Well, hey, parents are responsible, right? So parents have to pay their tax. #20 According to the Telegraph, an unidentified member of Angela Merkels cabinet has stated that Germany simply will not pour money into a bottomless pit. #21 This week the Bank of England is holding a secret summit of global central bankers to address the European financial crisis. The summit will be dominated by central bankers including the host, Sir Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank of England. Mario Draghi, president of the European Central Bank, and Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the Peoples Bank of China, have been invited. #22 According to Zero Hedge, a major German newspaper is reporting that a Greek exit from the eurozone is a done deal. The Greece-exit is a done deal: According to the German economic news from financial circles EU and the ECB have abandoned the motherland of democracy as a euro member. The reason is, interestingly, not in the upcoming elections these are basically become irrelevant. The EU has finally realized that the Greeks have not met any agreements and will not continue not to meet them. A banker: We helped with the Troika. The help of the Troika was tied to conditions. Greece has fulfilled none of the conditions, and has been for months now. #23 According to CNBC, preparations are quietly being made to print up and distribute new drachmas should the need arise. British banknote printer De La Rue is drawing up plans to print new drachma notes in the event of a Greek euro exit, according to an industry source with knowledge of the matter. The worlds biggest security firm G4S expects to be involved in distributing notes around the country. #24 Citibanks chief economist Willem Buiter is warning that any new currency issued by the Greek government could immediately fall by 60 percent. #25 Reuters is reporting that a planning memo exists that suggests that Greece could receive as much as 50 billion euros to ease its path out of the eurozone. If Greece does leave the eurozone, the cost to the rest of Europe is going to be astronomical. The following is from a recent article by John Mauldin. The debate among very knowledgeable individuals and institutions as to the future of Europe is intense. There are those who argue that the cost of breaking up the eurozone, even allowing Greece to leave, is so high that it will not be permitted to happen. Estimates abound of a cost of 1 trillion to European banks, governments, and businesses, just for the exit of Greece. And that does not include the cost of contagion as the markets wonder who is next. Keeping Spanish and Italian interest-rate costs at levels that can be sustained will cost even more trillions, as not just government debt but the entire banking system is at stake. Not to mention the pension and insurance funds. If the cost of Greece leaving is 1 trillion, then who can guess the cost of Spain or Italy? As I have written about previously, a Greek exit from the euro would cause the bank jogs that are already happening in Spain and Italy to accelerate. The problem in Europe is not just government debt. The truth is that the entire European financial system is in danger of melting down. Unfortunately, there are no more grand solutions on the horizon and so things are going to continue to get worse for Europe. As I have talked about so many times, the next wave of the economic collapse is going to start in Europe, but it is going to deeply affect the entire globe. During the next major economic downturn, the official unemployment rate in the United States will rise well up into the double digits. Once that happens, perhaps many more Americans will finally figure out that they should have been paying much more attention to what was taking place in Europe.

2	Police Officer Sends Obama Brutal Message Following Beyonces controversial anti-law enforcement Super Bowl 50 performance, weve seen an escalation of violence against police officers in this country like never before. Now, one sheriff has taken to Facebook to express his outrage about President Obamas failure to recognize that killing of eight officers within an eight-day span.

3	Is Saudi Arabia Going Broke?By Brandon Turbeville After years of decadence and willingness to lavishly fund terror and propaganda all across the world and after agreeing to work with the United States in a suicidal attempt to hurt Russia at the oil export pump, Saudi Arabia is finally starting to realize that there may actually be a bottom to their bank accounts. Even as major Saudi corporations begin going belly up (the Bin Laden group is essentially bankrupt), the Saudi government is now openly considering its massive contracting population in IOUs and tradable bonds. As Bloomberg reports, Saudi Arabia has told banks in the country that it is considering giving contractors IOUs to settle some outstanding bills, according to people with knowledge of the discussions. Saudi Arabia has slowed payments to contractors and suppliers, tapped foreign reserves and borrowed from local and international banks in response to the decline in crude oil, which accounts for the bulk of its revenue. Even Moodys the notorious lying agency that gave derivatives in the United States good credit ratings before the collapse, downgraded the Saudi long-term issuing rate from A1 to Aa3. Bloomberg reports, Saudi Arabias economic growth is slowing as revenue from oil exports declines. Gross domestic product will likely expand 1.5 percent this year, the slowest pace since the global financial crisis, according to a Bloomberg survey of economists. Until there is greater clarity on this situation some negativity and increased speculation from investors and other market participants should be expected, said Chavan Bhogaita, head of market insight and strategy at National Bank of Abu Dhabi. This news comes as Saudi Arabia is threatening to sell off hundreds of billions of dollars of U.S. assets if Congress passes a bill that would allow families of the victims of 9/11 to sue the KSA. Although President Obama has already threatened to veto the bill, such threats were most likely hollow to begin with. After the news of the Saudi financial condition, however, it is even less likely that the Saudis would go through with their threat. Of course, we still expect Obama to veto the bill.

He cant approve that bill as it would hurt his fellow mussiesno way!!!! Is Venezuela the new Saudi Arabia? Choice properties at real bargains. The1%ers can scoop up land deal all through the latin american countries. Especially deal that might end up as cash cows once everything starts turning around. It always turns around Fukushima is not contained. Oil has been decoupled from the market and the price plummet was the globalists manipulating production and price to counter the inflationary effects of helicopter money (debt spending and QE) in US, Europe, China, etc which eventually has big ripple effects. In the first round, the big bank bailout printing press $$$ was balanced by income deflation, squeezing the middle classes. In round two oil prices were the most efficient target. Arent all nations going broke by design? I just love the way Turbeville throws out words, if they sell off US bonds then After the news of the Saudi financial condition, however, it is even less likely that the Saudis would go through with their threat.. This is the reason the military,government,industrial perpetual oil war machine rolls on. Solar panels may be getting cheaper but you can bet when the maintenance cost start catching up with their users theres really going to bey out cries of misinformed rip-offs and hidden cost not reflected by the pushers of this green energy wonder. You will notice there is never any discussions or printed articles about the cost of storing this green energy to be used when the charging source is not available. Like where does the power come from when the wind isnt strong enough to spin the windmills fast enough or the solar panels arent putting out whats needed because the suns been behind the clouds for a week. You are right about the hidden costs. I have been off-grid for 5 years and my power costs are the same as if I was on the grid. The plus is that I dont have to deal with the power company or ever worry about getting behind on a bill. Off grid is definitely pay as you go. Maybe theyre following the path of Venezuela, and for very similar reasons! Venezuela is in real bad shape according to the news coming from latin american news sources. Why arent they collecting on the US dept they are holding? Maybe the reservoirs are slowly drying up? 
2	Obama Outraged With Sheriff Joes Harsh Statement In the past few weeks, Border Patrol housing facilities have been at capacity, as rumors of amnesty continue to circulate in Mexico. Now, some authorities are beginning to speak out against President Obama for his inaction, while thousands of immigrants continue to break our countrys laws. One of the most vocal in his opposition has been Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who told Sean Hannity that border patrol has been so busy changing diapers that they have had little time to hunt down drug smugglers. The increase is unaccompanied minors is due to rumors that children will be allowed to stay in the country if the enter before June 30. Unfortunately, while national security has had their hands tied dealing with that issue, our borders have been left vulnerable. And worst of all is that according to Arpaio the president knew this was going to happen. This is a great country, Arpaio went on to say, Youre trying to tell me we cant keep people from coming into our country if we really had the desire to do it? I dont buy it. Theres something wrong.

3	Stock Prices for Weapons Manufacturers Rise Sharply After Paris AttacksBy John Vibes Aaron Cant (@aaronmiguel_) November 16, 2015 On Monday, nearly as soon as the markets opened, stocks for weapons manufacturers began to soar Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics and Thales saw increases in a day that was rather calm for the rest of the market. As Greenwald pointed out in his report, The markets could barely wait to start buying. The Dow overall is up today only .12 percent, making these leaps quite pronounced. It seemed that the whole world knew immediately after the attacks that more war was on its way, and these rising stock values appear to substantiate the case. This week, various European countries, along with the United States, have promised more military action in the Middle East, despite the fact Western military intervention over the past decade created this mess to begin with. Billions of dollars in tax money is spent every year so militaries can wage wars across the planet and there is an unspeakable amount of money to be made by the people who sell weapons and ammunition to countries at war. Arms dealers and weapons manufacturers never take sides, but are always happy to take billions of dollars from opposing nations in every war so they can destroy each other. In fact, it could be argued that the financial incentive created by both the weapons industry and the plunder of foreign resources, is what drives governments to war to begin with. In fact, a recent study proved that resource-rich nations are 100 times more likely to have a foreign power intervene in their internal conflicts. There is a ton of money made in this industry, which is perhaps why people spread the popular myth that war is good for the economy. However, it should be obvious this industry isnt good for anyone economically, aside from perhaps politicians and weapons manufacturers, as countless people are killed and untold damage is done to property creating a situation where the economy will end up less profitable because less people are working, creating, and becoming entrepreneurs.

1	Host President Obama and special guest Ed Begley, Jr. hunkered down in the Oval Office with a phone bank full of Cabinet member volunteers Friday for the final day of the annual presidential radio address pledge drive. 'We've been saying it all week, folks: The deployment of more troops to Afghanistan, the spending of billions to bail out the banks, the podcastthese things you've come to depend on from this weekly address do not pay for themselves,' Obama said as he loosened his tie and sipped from a coffee mug. 'It's never too late to show your commitment to the United States by donating at the hundred-million-dollar level, and as our thanks, we'll send you a stylish presidential radio address messenger bag. Remember, we get our support from listeners and incredibly wealthy taxpayers like you.' A Republican-response pledge drive will reportedly kick off Monday, as the GOP tries to raise enough donations to permanently shut down NPR. 
1	Building on his recent winning streak of two almost correctly transcribed interviews and three basically right lede paragraphs, Arizona Daily Wildcat reporter Josh DeLuca completely knocked it out the park Friday with a story that had five accurate sentences, an achievement editors say has set a new standard for the student-run publication. Josh absolutely nailed this assignmentwe send him out to cover reading requirements at the Honors College and he comes back with a 1,200-word piece that has not one, but five whole sentences presenting factual, accurately reported information, said Daily Wildcat editor-in-chief Peter Jobanik, adding that the sentence Dean MacCorquodale said students are expected to have read the book thoroughly before its time to discuss them in their seminars is a total slam dunk that doesnt misspell anyones name, incorrectly describe someones job position, misattribute a quote to the wrong person, or take a remark completely out of context. Its not often you see a reporter who can write multiple sentences that dont have glaring errors or really odd and confusing phrases you have to read over and over in order to comprehend what, if anything, they are trying to say. But Josh really stepped up to the plate and turned five out of his 63 sentences into something readers can remotely understand. He really raised the bar for the rest of our reporters. At press time, DeLuca had reportedly scored another home run with a news blurb about campus housing that only mangled two out of his three sources quotes. 
2	Hillary Clinton Could Be Facing Criminal Indictment Within 60 Days Hillary Clinton has been on the campaign trail, but she could soon find herself behind bars instead. According to one former U.S. attorney appointed by President Reagan, Hillary could soon see her reality come crashing down on her. In fact, Joe DiGenova argues, the Democratic presidential candidate could face a criminal indictment from the FBI within the next 60 days. It is about time that Clinton faces consequences for her private email server. They [FBI] have reached a critical mass in their investigation of the secretary and all of her senior staff, DiGenova told reporters. And its going to come to a head, I would suggest, in the next 60 days. This is good news for Americans who suspect that Clinton has been involved in some very suspicious behavior, and fear for what her presidency would bring to the White House. I believe that the evidence that the FBI is compiling will be so compelling that, unless Lynch agrees to the charges, there will be a massive revolt inside the FBI, which she will not be able to survive as an attorney general, DiGenova continued. It will be like Watergate. It will be unbelievable. This is not the first time Hillarys actions have been compared to Watergate. In fact, she is taking longer than Nixon did to produce information in the case. What do you think? Does Hillary need to be kept far, far away from the White House? 
3	Flint Residents Told That Their Children Could Be Taken Away If They Dont Pay For Citys Poison WaterBy John Vibes However, the citys government continues to charge people for the poison water and then threatening to foreclose their home or take their children if they refuse to pay. Michigan law states that parents are neglectful if they do not have running water in their home, and if they chose not to pay for water they cant drink anyway, then they could be guilty of child endangerment. selfnewss in Flint say that some residents have already received similar threats from the government if they refuse to pay their bills. Flint residents have recently filed two class action lawsuits calling for all water bills since April of 2014 to be considered null and void because of the fact that the water was poisonous. We are seeking for the court to declare that all the bills that have been issued for usage of water invalid because the water has not been fit for its intended purpose, said Trachelle Young, one of the attorneys bringing the lawsuit said in court. Essentially, the residents have been getting billed for water that they cannot use. Because of that, we do not feel that is a fair way to treat the residents, Young added. Recent estimates have indicated that it could take up to 15 years and over $60 million to fix the problem, and the residents will be essentially forced to live there until the problem is solved. Despite the fact that the issue is obviously the governments responsibility, they have made it illegal for people to sell their homes because of the fact that they are known to carry contaminated water. Meanwhile, residents are still left to purchase bottled water on their own, in addition to paying their water bill. Although this problem is finally getting national media attention in Flint, they arent the only city with contaminated water supplies. In fact, a recent report published by The Guardian showed that public water supplies across the country were experiencing similar issues. This crisis highlights the many dangers of allowing the government to maintain a monopoly on the water supply and calls attention to the fact that decentralized solutions to water distribution should be a goal that we start working towards.

Sadly, the kids might be better off with relatives than with the state, but better with the state than as abandoned and starving, and prostituted, street children. If the parents were preppers, the kids might each have their own personal lifestraws. I hope the majority of women do something to protect their families. Why just the women? Are you assuming men dont care about their children?? This article does. Because the men of Flint dont give a damn about their families health? Better have your own water tested. UN/CFR is out to destroy fathers. Sounds like youre volunteering your help. UN/CFR are very capable. Thats BS. Those tax paying residents need to band together and STOP paying their water bills. Its times like this that demand THE PEOPLE stand up and do whats right. AMERICANS ARE COMPLETELY SPINELESS AND WILL DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AS USUAL! IM LAUGHING AT HOW WEAK AMERICANS TRULY ARE!!! AMERICANS DESERVE EVERYTHING BAD THAT EVER HAPPENS TO THEM FOR BEING SO WEAK AND JUST TO CHICKEN TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS AND ALL THE OTHER CRIMNAL STUFF THE GOVERNMENT DOES. The majority of americans have the misconception that if they ignore something it will go away, or, if it isnt affecting me PERSONALLY than they wont do anything about it. There is a third option that would work but Im afraid the american people are too divided to use it, and its the BEST solution with no loss of life. very good! Speak for yourself. Lets KNOW that words are POWERFUL THANK YOU !!!!! If you listen to these TALKING RETARDS you would think you are not suppose to BREATH without asking the permission The elected officials of the city need to be arrested for child endangerment, amongst other things, they are in breach of trust The elected officials of the city had no power. The Governors Office had turned the citys management over to unelected technocrat receivers. They made these decisions not Flint politicians. You have kids permanently damaged healthwise, so someone can make a buck you want them arrested? THIS is what is wrong with this country today, no balls. In 1930 or even as late as 1970, the people of the town would have been organization and would have brought down the Flint government. Unfortunately the population has been conditioned since the womb through (mis)education TV to stay home, be alone, and just watch TV or play on their iPhone. The only way for change is for people to learn to band together to make a difference. Perhaps drinking leaded water has turned them all into dull cattle, unable to comprehend their predicament. Lead severely lowers IQs. As does mercury and fluoride. The majority of people are fence sitters because they either have no conviction or they are taking the cowards way out. They have the misconception that no decision or action is neutral when it is not. I couldnt agree more. The thing I have the least patience with is cowardice. Of all sorts. Well said! I said a similar thing to bunch of people the other day. Well said They voted for democratic or republican politicians. Things like this happen when people do stupid things like that. The politicians that were involved in this event need to be severely punished.. This is the new Love Canal of the 70s. Until the 1938 clean water act, working class Americans were not entitled to fresh, drinking water. This is why diseases like polio and cholera were epidemic. The Ruling Class has never cared to provide workers with fresh water. It was only fear of revolution that made the Ruling Elite concede to give us clean water. With no Left communist snd anarchist parties, of course they are poisoning us all over. Unless we organize, things will only get worse. SO much for that neo con anti unionist propaganda everyone fell for. Collectivism is the only way for the little man to survive in a world of giants. And the giants our generation faces are feet taller than the ones our fathers faced. You people had better open your eyes real quick. Collectivism is how humans do everything. If you mean forced collectivism at the point of a gun by some inefficient and violent bureaucracy, youre completely wrong. Basically your statement is at best a non-sequitur. Baloney. The last cholera outbreak in the United States was in 19101911, when the steamship Moltke brought infected people from Naples to New York City. Vigilant health authorities isolated the infected in quarantine on Swinburne Island. Eleven people died, including a health care worker at the hospital on the island. Poliovirus can be transmitted through contaminated water and food or through direct contact with someone infected with the virus. Polio is so contagious that anyone living with a recently infected person is likely to become infected, too. People carrying the poliovirus can spread the virus for weeks in their feces. And by the aluminum and barium, and all the other chemicals falling on us from the chemtrailsif your one that has not closed your mind to that situation, like some have. Oh, and by all the many man made chemicals in our foods and the GMOs. Is this a joke? Far from a joke. Do some Research and Educate yourself on whats Really going on in the world. I hope your stupid question was a J-O-K-E. My Grandmother, her mother and sisters came over on the Moltke, from Naples, in April 1907. Nice to be reminded of that when I saw you mentioned the Moltke. With a GOP Governor, I think it possible this was done intentionally to show what public utilities will do to the people, whereas, privatizing the public water supply will ensure safer water. The GOP are doing their best to control all public utilities, public schools and other public offices by privatizing everythingthis is a good way to make it LOOK like privatization is the only way to get things done properly. However, it was a GOP governor that started this poisoning of the citizens of Flint in the first place. It had nothing to do with an accident, nor of an inferior public system that private ownership could have prevented. THE GOP GOVERNOR INTENTIONALLY POISONED THOSE PEOPLE! IT WAS AN ACT OF TERRORISM! So the governor actually added the lead, or did he just not take immediate action when he found out about it as I read in the media? Both actions are as bad as each other, but statements like you just made will not help the lawsuit. It makes you look crazy and unreasonable as if no mater what the truth is you will still accuse without knowledge. The more important question for the lawsuit would be; did the residents use water that they knew, as in were they informed about it being poisonous? To make a finer point, are they being billed on water meters that measure actual usage, or is it a flat rate everybody pays the same amount for water service regardless of how much is used? If it is a payment for service ( having the water available to them) they will likely lose the lawsuit and will have to pay their bills. if it is a payment for water actually used the lawsuit will hinge on whether they were using contaminated water AFTER being told about it and made an informed decision to use it anyway they will lose and have to pay their bills hey, they used the water. The other question is, did FEMA or another agency, like the city government provide potable water to use in place of the contaminated water, or instruct the citizens how to make the water safe for use in their own homes? If the government did do all that well, the citizens pay. They only way the citizens dont pay is for all the time they used poisonous water but were never informed about it. Sounds as if your water supply is of the leaded variety, as well. Apparently from birth. Wow. I feel for the folks in Flint- I really do- but GODDAMN you people are ridiculous. Way to attract folks to your side. Youll find no candy coating with me so go back to watching TV, then you can pretend all you want. Is that using the Lords name in vain, really necessary?? Yes Yeah and we all know them. I work with one! You and i call them sheeple. They laugh at you, talk behind your back and isolate you. And yet, they dont realise they are nothing but cowards. We need to be careful of these sheeple though. They live next door to us and may even be friends? But, when push turns to shove they will sell you out in a heartbeat when asked to. You are so right. Yep! I see that, too I see you have an issue with critical thinking. As for looking crazyIve never worried what others thinkthat includes you. Um, you made several, references to it. If you were truly independent in your thinking, the party of the Governor would not have been mentioned. Government is corrupt in general, and we should be more activist in our response to their incompetence and greed. Most voters, sadly, are uninformed and ignorant, and only choose to erupt AFTER the damage is done. To your point, what specifically has FEMA and the Obama administration done about it? They are quick to litigate every instance of anything and anyone who does even the slightest thing against them or the environment (BP, Exxon, etc.) yet when they screw up (IRS, Animas River Spill), they are NEVER held accountable or fined for their mistakes. They excuse it by calling it sovereign immunity. However, using your logic, if you want to go that route, just remember that the cities of Chicago, Baltimore and Detroit (for 3 examples) have been run by LIBERAL DEMOCRAT SOCIALISTS for over 70 years. They are in ruins with the false promises and narratives that have sustained their grip on power by preying on those who have raised into ignorance by a school system that focuses not on the Three Rs, but on fabricated hype of social injustices and the idea that they are owed something for doing nothing. Sadly, however, both parties are guiltyone for creating it, and the other for letting it happen and not reversing course. Now, tell me where my emphasis is. There is no question we have Democrats that are no different than the GOP, i.e., Hillary Clinton, Steve Israel, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and a host of others that are just as corrupt as Rick Snyder, Chris Christie, John Kasich, and many other GOP Gov. However, most GOP are members of ALEC which is a Fourth Reich/New World Order organization, with very few Dem members. We have a similar problem to this at a place called Williamtown, near my home town in Newcastle, Australia. The whole thing is disgraceful. And who knew about it all along? The government! Your response to Woman Patriot is so far removed from any kind of decent thinking person I would say you are insane, brainwashed or a paid disinformation agent. WomanPatriot others here seem to fall right in line with our societys take on life today oh, Im a victim! If I understand what youre saying, you are stating the legal facts, not an emotional diatribe. If they used water they will have to pay for it. They can sue, Im sure, for health financial ramifications, but you still must pay your bill. If the state doesnt maintain the road, I hit a pot hole break an axle, I still have to make my car payment. That was my point, just the legal fight they would be facing, as only you noticed, I was not commenting on right or wrong, just trying to advise how to win it, by knowing what is coming. Bashing and name calling wont win it. I feel for all the victims but- you have to approach it in a different way to win it. The American legal system favors the government, because it IS the government. All the commenters attacking my post, well, I expected it no one really reads anymore. Thank your government for that as well. I would not expect measured, rational discourse on an extremist activist website (such as this). Unless you are a sycophant, you will be derided and bullied- as youve just found out. These people are the reason no one takes activists seriously anymore. That being said, I feel for the folks in Flint and sincerely hope a viable working solution is found, and found rapidly. Yes, we are all extremists for coming to this site and we are sycophants and bullies, because we dont think just like you. You just implicated yourself with your own statement. Why are you here, friend? I just wanted to personally thank you for adding absolutely nothing of value to this conversation (your car payment has nothing to do with the public service of road maintenance you weirdo) The local government has a legal obligation to provide quality water at defined standards, but oh, you didnt think about that did you. LOL! Sue the government? You wont get far on that road in Australia, friend! We are facing similar problems here and the government just keeps writing new laws to protect themselves. They always win then send you ALL legal costs. This is happening in my home town. People are actually ending their own lives after being buried by government. Its government way of letting EVERYONE know who is boss. Sad but, true! Once again, you area correct. In my estimation we have more of a MAFIA than a government. No. Bad analogies. They are paying for a service: the delivery of potable water. That service is not being provided because of misfeasance. You order a hamburger and a coke. You get rotten meat and a glass of crankcase oil. You dont pay. Then you sue. The end. So a few things I wanted to comment on about what youve said here Flint operates on a metered system. So you pay for actual usage, rather than flat rate. But there are a few factors here that I think the courts will be taking into consideration which may very well lead to citizens not having to pay for the water they used. 1 In addition to paying for actual usage, customers are charged a monthly Service Charge. Ive no doubt that the lawyers representing the citizens will argue that this service charge is a fee customers pay for the upkeep, monitoring and distribution of usable and drinkable water. A service the city failed to provide. Theyll argue that collection of the fee each month represents a binding promise by the city to provide those services and an acknowledgment that they are expected to provide those services to the customer. Theyll also argue that when a customer pays for water, it is expected that water will be drinkable, not just usable for bathing, unless SPECIFICALLY stated otherwise since thats the standard arrangement between customers and water providers across the country. 2 Part of the hoopla over this rests with the fact that the city/state did little-to-nothing to inform the citizens that there was a problem with the water until earlier this month. They did not include any notices with water bills or do much of anything, really, in terms of ensuring most if not all of their customers were made aware that the water was no longer safe to consume. This, despite the fact that the water had not been safe to consume for a considerably long time. 3 This situation also involves quite a bit of dishonesty on the part of the city/state. There are actually two separate and distinct issues with the water being provided. One, is the source of the water the Flint River. Until last year, water for the city was provided via the Detroit water system. Gov. Snyder and his emergency manager decided it was more cost effective to use the water from the river instead of continuing to pay Detroit to provide the water. Theres a bit of irony there, given that Detroit was ALSO under emergency management and in a fiscal crisis since Snyder effectively cut off a source of funding for Detroit by putting Flint on river water. Under the BEST of circumstances, the river water is wholly unacceptable as a water supply. But heres where the second problem came in the actual physical infrastructure of the Flint water delivery system. Because of contaminants in the river water, high amounts of lead started being leached from the pipes in the citys water pipeline. That wasnt an issue with the clean water being piped in from Detroit there werent the proper contaminants in it to cause the leaching. It was the proverbial perfect storm a questionable water source (the river), coupled with a water delivery system that had not been properly maintained or updated, and inefficient/insufficient monitoring of the water flowing into homes throughout the city. Add massive incompetence and negligence on the part of the city/state in informing the citizens about the dangers in the water and outright deception by ONLY mentioning that the water was now coming from the river (with no mention of the lead in the pipes, the lack of monitoring, the inability to properly filter out contaminants, etc.) and its clear that the city and state ARE culpable and knowingly/willfully failed to uphold their end of the contract implied by the collection of the aforementioned service charge. They knew the water they were providing wasnt safe for human consumption they knew they were putting their customers at risk and they did it anyway. They knowingly failed to uphold their end of the consumer contract and did not provide the service or product they were charging for (safe water via a safe system). Good analysis. Are You Serious ? Are Just Stupid, No the Gov. DID NOT ADD LEAD IN THE WATER, it came from the Old (lead)Pipes Wow, I did not say they did. read much? I was responding to an accusation made by the lady I was responding too who implied that the Governor was solely responsible for the lead in the water he may be culpable, but is not directly responsible the lead leached out of the old pipes. to say what she did made it look like she was saying the governor added the lead on purpose. which is why I wrote what I wrote. This has been a real eye opening experience on here, not many people read and understand English anymore. lol actually carl the city made official announcements several times to residents telling them that the water was fine enough. if anything is done about the situation in flint it will be because national pressure moved them to do so. if this particular story hadnt happened to get quickly picked up through news and media, we wouldnt even be talking about it. many many other cities in the US are facing the same issue right now as well .. I am only getting bits and pieces of what has gone on from the media, I did not realize until I read after you posted this that the mayor/water treatment guys, governor all failed and told everybody the water was fine to drink. they will all have to be sued no doubt. And no, in this case, they should stuff their water bills where the sun dont shine. get a grip on yourself, let the man who can stop the rise of the ocean come in and set it right, then blame the current governor if the feds fix it all! The GOP did it huh? Lady you are a special kind of stupid. I can see you havent a clue what is going on. Just to inform you, Gov. Rick Snyder is a Republican (GOP) and what he did was intentional. But, thats OK if you dont know what is going on. Pretty soonyou will. This is a terroristic threat and it should be investigated and prosecuted as such. What more UN necessary infractions need be committed against the people to prove those in positions of control are not only incompetent, arrogant, abusive, but criminal as well. I cant understand why WE ARE ALL SO DIVIDED! Stand up and fight together! They will keep going for as long as we let them, people! BUT, WE HAVE TO STAND TOGETHER! They already FEAR US! I have stood up to many bullies in my life and they are ALL THE SAME! INSECURE AND AFRAID OF LOSING CONTROL! KICK THEM WHERE IT HURTS AND THEN KICK THEM WHEN THEY ARE DOWN. Yes I know, it sounds out there, but it works and sometimes very necessary AMERICANS ARE COMPLETELY SPINELESS EXTREMELY WEAK TO DO ANYTHING! SO AS USUAL NOTHING WILL EVER BE DONE BY THESE WEAK, LAZY AND WORTHLESS PEOPLE! AMERICANS TRULY ARE WEAK! AMERICANS DESERVE EVERYTHING BAD THAT EVER HAPPENS TO THEM FOR BEING SO WEAK AND CHICKEN TO EVER DO ANYTHING ABOUT THESE CRIMINAL ACTS OF THE GOVERNMENT. Seems to me, as with other city water issues, and or city water that is beyond reasonable palatable water taste, and that is that we purchase bottled water. However, if the water of a city municipality is poison as they imply, then its up to the city management officials to clean up a mess that the residents had no participation in messing up per se- But if there is truth to the fact that they are threatening to take OUR CHILDREN???! WTF??? There are only a few options we as a nation can do, and only one or two that does not contain violence. With that said, it seems to me the USA is yet becoming, evolving into non viable entity. I recommend to anyone reading this to consider as our ancestors once thought of- a thought of retreat.to leave this country for better grounds.purer water, healthier living standards, and of course, a better tolerance to people of God. Those are just some thoughts, opinionsoptions. When the govt and cities of this country present themselves as an enemy instead of friend, then options for a better future dwindle. Yeah well look what democrats have done to Detroit and Chicago: In 1961 the reins of political power in the city fell permanently into Democratic Party hands. In the 53 years that have passed since then, Detroit has not had a single Republican mayor. Indeed it has elected only one Republican to its City Council since 1970. The water everywhere in Michigan tastes like rust its terrible Yeah well look what democrats have done to Detroit and Chicago: In 1961 the reins of political power in the city fell permanently into Democratic Party hands. In the 53 years that have passed since then, Detroit has not had a single Republican mayor. Indeed it has elected only one Republican to its City Council since 1970. We had a water break here, and a boil water order (until further notice) was issued. Trouble was, they didnt bother to tell anyone. We didnt find out for two days! When I called them up, the city clerk gave me a weak excuse-We try to tell everyone. I told her that if they keep doing business as usual, and the bodies start stacking up like cordwood from their neglect, there would be severe legal repercussions for them. She hung up on me. Water is used for much more than drinking so households should still be paying something. Put the price that pay for non-drinkable water should definitely be less than for drinkable water! And when the government provides your water and you dont pay, guess what? You will be paying for it in your taxes Its not water. Its POISON! They cant even wash with it. Youre a toady. I read in the local paper today (Toledo Blade) that they are passing out water filters to the people of Flint. Does anyone know what brand and type of filters they are passing out? I did a search and could only find mention of filters were being passed out, not the brand used. Personally I have a Berkey counter-top and a Katadyn Pocket filter (portable) I use, but I was wondering what they are using. I cant imagine they are giving out Berkey or Katadyn filters as it would get expensive to do so for thousands of people. And no politician would want to buy quality things for the people in their city. PS: These days no one should trust any city or government to deliver safe potable water to their home. We all should have a top quality filter and spare elements for the filter. Yep, this is what happens when you allow the same business that is in charge of your security to be in charge of your water and child welfare services. Agree, though I wouldnt refer to these organizations as a business, maybe entity, since they operate by coercion, not contract. However, the citys government continues to charge people for the poison could there be another reason? such as getting as many of the current residents out for another group to move in? or to build something there? like a lot of work and cover up after all they did admit it is the governments fault, they usually just say well take care of it, unless they want you gone! This is grounds for legitimate revolt. Occupy Michigan needs to begin. Time to arm up. That governor has gone from cruel politician to monster. If this guy doesnt end up in prison, there is no legal system in the the US. Its totally unacceptable to use the threat of taking peoples kids as a collection technique. On a totally different subject, if people are bathing, cleaning and flushing toilets with this water, why shouldnt they pay for what they use? BECAUSE ITS POISON. Its an unacceptable product. Not only is it poison, but theyre paying HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS for the poison. If it were unacceptable for any use, they wont be using any and Id agree about not paying any service charge, but I get the impression it is still used for everything except drinking and cooking. If thats the case, they should pay their bill. Its a faulty, unacceptable product for which there is no alternative product made accessible. Should they buy bottled water to wash with? As far as I can see, the product is barely acceptable for toilet-flushing. dam devils! we need a arm protest. I bet things will get done This is what happens when you put people in charge who despise government and want to do anything in its power to destroy public systems. If you know anything of the Emergency Financial Manager law, then you know that it has been used by the anti government Snyder to usurp cities like Detroit and Flint so things like this can happen. Who is it that paid for Snyder to be elected? Look up the DeVos family (Amway) and the Mackinac center. Small Government minded people, at least when it comes to regulations on their activities. Id like to take the feds to court for extracting money from my labor and given nothing in return especially not any form of representation. Some friends of mine who live in a little Podunk town in California have been getting notices regularly, like clockwork for about 2 years now, letting them know that their water contains unsafe levels of Arsenic. I tell ya what some cockstain ever tells me, You have to pay for water, theyll be fed a length of pipe sideways. I will beat them until they quit twitching. The real problem is the people of this nation still naively believe they have a legitimate government. You are so right! What Gov. Snyder did was blatant contempt for the poor of Flint. Unfortunately, the greater masses havent a clue what is going on, when you see the voters that want Trump, Cruz or any of those GOP and the voters that want Hillary (no different from the GOP). The problem isnt these candidatesthe problem is the people believing these people have their interests at heartthey dont! If the people were educated, they would demand different candidates. Personally, Im tired of voting for the lesser of two evils. The GOP Hillary want the TPP/TTIP which will greatly cripple our countryjust like Hillarys hubby, Bill, did with NAFTA and then abolishing Glass-Steagall that allowed Wall St. to rob us blind and crash our economy that, in spite of what is said, is still a disaster with the real unemployment number being around 18% or higher. If Hillary gets in the Oval Office, that unemployment number will be our highest in history. Very truethank you! The former Lord Mayor of my city is a developer. He was busted paying bribes to local and state government leaders to get HIS new developments passed. Well they resigned and just walked away without punishment and living on a lucrative tax payer life. And, the developments are going full steam ahead! WAKE UP PEOPLE! Americans are WEAK, STUPID and COMPLETELY SPINLESS and that is WHY they totally and completely believe their WORTHLESS, LYING SCKING CRIMNAL GOVERNMENT. Americans they are so DUMB and COMPLACENT that they believe Anything this Lying Government tells them with ZERO Questions Ever. And it will be the DEATH OF THEM AS WELL AS THEIR FAMILIES. I see the headline, but Im not seeing any actual evidence in the article of residents being told their children could be taken away. Am I missing it? A Town Hall meeting with ENOUGH turnout would change that !! This is TOTAL BULL that the government could stoop to such a level THIS IS CRIMINAL ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE CITY. !!! What are they doing in schools, restaurants jails? As much as I see the logic behind decentralizing water distribution, I cant help but feel like if water were to be commercialized it would leave us in a potentially worse position down the road. Unbelievable. America is the laughing stock of the world, talk about stupidity. Land of the free, home of the brave, America is anything but. Meanwhile, residents are still left to purchase bottled water on their own, in addition to paying their water bill. Ah, one problem with this. Water is billed according to usage. If the residents arent using the water, then they wont be billed for it. What the residents are saying is that they dont want to have to pay for the poisoned water that they used. The solution here is that the residents are required by law to pay for the water they used. The process then is that if the water they used is contaminated, they get to sue the city for damages. That is the process they are required to follow. Simply trying to get to use the water for free and not paying for it isnt how it works. Do you really think the same corrupt people who incurred the damage by way of contaminated water are going to turn around and admit guilt and pay for their actions? Would the author care to explain this statement? Absent everyone going back to private wells how do you get decentralized water distribution? The problem is not that water distribution is a monopoly. The problem is corruption and incompetency. Which is rampant all over the country these days. Total garbage Always shininginthedark Another thing Obama built Better to be thought a fool, than to open your mouth remove all doubt. The rest of the world has abandoned fluoridating their water, due to all of the serious health risks and lack of dental benefits. But GENIUS JOSHUA knows better, because he was paying attention when he went to his government school. Typically, water is the cheapest utility of most homeowners, so for a Government to threatening to foreclose on these homes, are you serious??? Even banks will let homeowners default on their payments for 8 to 12 months before going down that rat hole. So the money spent to start the foreclosing process on these home would be more than the several years of non payment. Its not like Michigan is a wealthy and thriving state now, thanks to the same government who help move jobs from that area. This crisis highlights the many dangers of allowing the government to maintain a monopoly on the water supply and calls attention to the fact that decentralized solutions to water distribution should be a goal that we start working towards. And there you have the REAL motive of a Republican governor. This is what they ultimately want by any means necessary. I am losing my faith in humanity. This is supposed to be America. The greatest nation on Earth. Bullshit. The irony is the cost to fix the problem is the same cost Jeb Bush has spent on his campaign with the result being 2%. At this point we must ask our leaders where their priorities are. If Jeb wanted to fix the problems of this nation he could have started by donating the rest of his campaign contributions to Flint. But no, Republican politicians only use their money for their own agendas for personal power. No it doesnt by product of aluminum industry costs millions to dispose of one study in Texas.. and now they can put 1.5parts per million in the h2obeen used in horse training to control the will of horses..and when it first came out in toothpaste it had a skull crossbones on it..look up countries with no flouride navy also..no flouride sodium aluminum flouride. mild flouroseson teeth..do the research.. and give ur fam steam distilled .ur welcome.! Those in charge should be arrested and thrown into jail period. This is a Republic for the people by the people. The harm is already done. This was going on for how long, and covered up. Get an attorney and start the checks and balances going. People have to be accountable for this. Just like the fluoride in the water supplies is an industrial waste product from manufacturing companys. Instead of companys being charged for disposal of this waste by product its introduced at a cost to all the water companys for a profit. Another incident in OHIO, DAH. Wake up. Your the idiot. Not knowing about the flouride is sad. Better get educated! But why does that back of your toothpaste say to call the poison control center, if you swallow more than the pea size your supposed to only use on your toothbrush? I bet your an Obummer supporter. Actually, Joshuafluoride does NOT protect your teeth. The aluminum industry had this by-product of aluminum that they didnt know what to do with it so they marketed it as a protector for teeth. It does no such thing. Looks like you drank the Kool-Aid. You might want to buy organic toothpaste and, when you go to the dentist, tell him/her to not treat your teeth with fluoride:) It is a neurotoxin. According to her comment history, Joan was into Trump until he declared that he wanted to close the internet. It was okay when he was threatening the Mexicans and the Muslims, but when Joans ability to fearmonger on Disqus was (unrealistically) threatened, she claims he lost her vote. ANYBODY Would Rather be a Trump Supporter then an EXTREMELY DUMB LIBTARD AKA:Dumbass Sheeple like YOURSELF, That really thinks Fluoride is in the water for your teeth. Do the Entire WORLD a Favor and KILL YOURSELF NOW! joshua wait a minute, Ive attached a picture for you man. read the labels -toxic to ingest? um, and you are ok with drinking this for your teeth. right. so please explain to me, when they put fluoride in water, just how do you know just what the dose is per glass? how much you get daily? you brush twice daily and drink a few glasses of water Im sure you *must* know your own intake of this drug and why is that bag it comes in labeled poison when transported in to the water processing centers before its dumped in to the city water? oh and what country first found it makes populations docile? (Germany pre WW2). I like my teeth too, I dont care all that much for Trump but hes miles ahead of Hillary who should be in prison over her handling of classified documents via email. here is what I understand someone is putting a drug in the water supply, and you dont get to question that or make a choice because they do it secretly, and quietly. other countries found it causes cancer, and have determined it harmful to their citizens. IF this was happening in a third world country, holier than thou America will be up in arms and its people will be talking about how its great to be in America. I work for a UN agency so I travel a lot. Ive never never heard of such blatant human rights abuse even in those so called 3rd world countries.

Time and time again shes proven that shes not afraid to speak her mind, and especially when it comes to our Presidents many questionable decisions. Pirro was the center of controversy once more when she delivered a segment on the attacks on the Western world at the hands of radical Islamists. Specifically, she cited the attack on officers in Philadelphia and the terrorist attack in San Bernardino. Pirro made the controversial claim that the Obama administration and Islamic radicals might as well be on the same side, because it is clear out leader is not doing anything to stop these acts from happening again. Were just happy someone said it. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
3	World War 3 and Global Smart IDJulie Beal We must not focus solely on the war, or the shock, but what is to come after. The Smart World Order will be run by an all-knowing quantum computer, for optimisation of the new capital (people, nature, and data) alongside the traditional products, services, and built infrastructure. Everything is to have a unique identifier, to enable the quantum algorithms and social simulations, which are required to keep the show running in what they hope will be a truly sustainable fashion. The United Nations is now calling for this steady state system, which requires an understanding of all capital stock, and all transactions. This is the oft-described transhumanist military-industrial complex but with a purpose, an ideology (the FULL blueprint of Agenda 21), which may sound alluring to many. It may just be the power of the MSM, but recently its as though us lot are feeling the sense of an imminent global shock of some sort but the furthest people seem to get with how to respond to this is survivalism. Stocking up to survive a potential shock is very wise indeed, but what about afterwards? When things have settled down. We really should be paying attention NOW to the plans the powers-that-be have formulated, and the future they are envisioning, shock, or no shock. Unless people wise up to this almost-unheard-of news, we will all be forced to get a global smart ID. What does that mean? Its what weve all been dreading, is what it is its your unique identification number; the sign of all that you are, including your biometrics. If allowed to happen, we will be ONE STEP AWAY FROM IMPLANTS. Your ID will be smart because its stored on a microchip, and with it comes your one-and-only password for everything. Youre gonna need that password to be part of society in the near future, because the plan is to move everything online. And I mean everything. So instead of having a driving licence, or a health card, or a student card, or a credit card, or whatever, you just use your smart ID. Life is moving to the matrix. No more paper. No more privacy, or self-control. Even surfing the Web will be different, because youre supposed to use your smart ID to do a one-time log-in, then your Identity Provider will vouch for you for every website you interact with. You can store your identity data on your smart phone, or a smart card, or you could even buy a microSD (a secure element) to make your old mobile phone be smart. The way it works is, you sign up with an Identity Provider (IdP), enrol your biometrics (probably face and fingerprints) and provide the appropriate evidence of who you are. This IdP will then be in control of all your private details. When you need to confirm your identity for some reason (such as applying for State benefits) you will be asked to produce the necessary credentials for that transaction, and the Identity Provider will act as a go-between, confirming the identities of both parties. The level of authentication required depends on the circumstances. If you wanted to get into a nightclub, say, you might just have to prove your age, so all the IdP will tell the nightclub is your date of birth. If, however, you are applying for a passport online, the highest level of security is required, meaning youd have to authorise the IdP to confirm all your credentials. Credentials can be the usual name/age/address sorta stuff, as well as your passport and/or driving licence, your digital history (which helps prove you exist), your financial details, relationship network, police records, transaction context data, and biometrics. All of these details add up to the unique ID which is YOU. The IdP collates them for you. Sucked into the matrix, we would be, then watched and controlled by the AI machine. Identity management already exists for military personnel and civil servants, and globally interoperable standards have emerged. Over the last decade, identity specialists have crafted a number of methods for a global system for all citizens of the earth. They hold meetings[1] and engage with the NFC community at the World e-ID Congress, for instance. Most countries now have biometric passports, and the UK and the US are leading the way in creating the global identity ecosystem. Were told: So theyre trying to sell it as if its all done for the benefit of the consumer. We are being told this will make it so much easier to do things online you only have to remember one password, you only have to log in once. But actually, the global interplay of production-and-consumption can only be managed from the top, in the name of sustainability, when each and every thing is tagged and labelled with an ID. This Internet-of-things-and-people can then become an efficient machine, processing all transactions on a global scale, from the RFIDs in consumer products, to sensors and smart cards that process all the many identities of people and devices. The ultimate aim is to achieve (the illusion of) a global steady-state system, maintaining perfect balance. What you take out, you must put back in. Putting our identities into the matrix, instead of storing our own passports, driving licences, keys, tickets, credit cards, etc ourselves, will make us so very vulnerable. We are soooo hackable! An article entitled, On technology neutral policies for eidentity: A critical reflection based on UK identity policy (Journal of International Commercial Law and Technology; Vol. 8, No.2; 2013), by Edgar A. Whitley, argues that there are other cryptographic techniques which, offer zeroknowledge proofs and are not based on databases or transactional surveillance grids, such as an age-verification method devised by Touch2id, which does not store a copy of the fingerprint. However, no effort is being made to develop systems that are unable to distinguish between two transactions by the same person / device and two transactions by two different entities. Nor are the public being involved in a debate. The system has been devised, and now they want us to comply. What makes this all the more real, and happening right now, is that currently over a third of the worlds population are using the Internet regularly, and it is reported that, Mobile phone use has accelerated rapidly around the world, including the poorest countries; indeed; A report released by the ITU, called Measuring the Information Society 2012, What is more, a number of organisations and financiers have joined together to form the Better Than Cash Alliance, which is promoting the use of electronic payments in the developing world using mobile phones. Natural Capital Accounting has also been agreed to by 172 nations, as per Agenda 21, and globally interoperable online identity systems are being created all around the world. They just need us to have a smart phone, to get an IdP, and to stop using cash. The chip for all these things will have to worn or implanted at some point, will it not? After all, the chip will be the key to life itself. Will you comply?

3	Why Is The Obama Administration Allowing China To Buy Up U.S. Oil And Gas Deposits?Michael Snyder, Contributor The Chinese government is using two giant corporations to buy up these energy resources. The first is the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC). According to Wikipedia, this corporation is 100 percent owned by the Chinese government. So wherever you see CNOOC or Sinopec you can replace those names with the Chinese government. The Chinese government essentially runs both of those companies. And both companies have been very busy buying up U.S. oil and gas deposits. For example, CNOOC recently completed a 570 million dollar deal that gives it a one-third interest in huge oil and gas deposits in Colorado and Wyoming. The following is from Wyoming Energy News. In fact, according to a recent Business Insider article, this deal gives the Chinese government the right to a third of any new oil discovered by Chesapeake Energy in the entire region. But this is not the only area of the country where China now owns energy rights. The following is an excerpt from a recent state-by-state breakdown that appeared in the Wall Street Journal. The Texas deal was particularly noteworthy. The following is how a San Antonio news source described that deal. With the announcement Monday that it would pay up to $2.2 billion for a one-third stake in Chesapeake Energy assets, CNOOC lays claim to a share of properties that eventually could produce up to half a million barrels a day of oil equivalent. So why is the Obama administration allowing this to happen? Are they so desperate to have China continue lending money to the United States that they would allow the Chinese government to pillage our precious energy resources? Somebody needs to be asking our politicians that question. But oil and gas are not the only U.S. assets that the Chinese have been buying up. In a previous article, I detailed how the Chinese have been purchasing huge chunks of real estate all over the country as well. For example, a recent Forbes article detailed some of the real estate deals that China has been doing in New York. In addition, it was recently announced that the Federal Reserve will now allow Chinese banks to buy up American banks. Where will all of this end? Should all of us start learning to speak Chinese? Meanwhile, our trade deficit with China continues to get even larger. Our trade deficit with China last year was $295.5 billion, which was the largest trade deficit that one country has had with another country in the history of the world. This year, we are already on a pace to break that record. So thousands of businesses, millions of jobs and hundreds of billions of dollars will continue to leave the United States and go to China. And China will continue to use some of the money they are getting from us to buy up pieces of America. Does anyone else out there see something very, very wrong with all of this?

3	PEN America: The Harm Caused by Surveillance...is UnmistakableJillian York The latest survey found that writers living in liberal democratic countries have begun to engage in self-censorship at levels approaching those seen in non-democratic countries, indicating that mass surveillance has badly shaken writers faith that democratic governments will respect their rights to privacy and freedom of expression, and thatbecause of pervasive surveillancewriters are concerned that expressing certain views even privately or researching certain topics may lead to negative consequences. Specifically, more than 1 in 3 writers living in free countries (as classified by watchdog Freedom House) stated that they had avoided speaking or writing on a particular topic since the Snowden revelations, and only seventeen percent of writers in these countries felt that the United States offers more protection for free speech than their countries. A whopping sixty percent of writers in Western Europe and fifty-seven percent in the remaining Five Eyes countries (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK) think that US credibility has been significantly damaged for the long term by NSA spying. PEN also asked respondents to share their feelings about surveillance in their own countries, and found that in every grouping (Free, partly free, and not free by Freedom House standards), more than seventy-five percent of writers are very or somewhat worried about government surveillance at home. As PEN so aptly states in their report, the harm caused by surveillance to free expression, freedom of thought, and creative freedom is unmistakable. And as the findings demonstrate, surveillance is not solely an issue of privacy, but also one of free speech, freedom of association, and innovation. In their conclusion, PEN calls on the US government to take immediate action to reform mass surveillance. We agree. You can take action today by signing our petition to tell President Obama to amend Executive Order 12333 to prohibit mass surveillance of people around the world.

3	High-Frequency Insider TradingJames Hall Through advanced and proprietary techniques that reduce exposure hazards and provide exclusive head start triggers, which virtually guarantee profits, the elite firms dominate Wall Street. Business Week states in the article, Is High-Frequency Trading Insider Trading?, that Classically defined, insider trading means having access to material, non-public information before it reaches the rest of the market; its like getting a heads-up about a merger before its announced, or maybe a phone call from a Goldman Sachs (GS) board member saying that Warren Buffett is about to invest $5 billion in the bank. With the introduction of super computers and Financial Algorithmic Trading, the era of generated trading strategies emerged that fill automatically, when predetermined prices are reached. Some would argue that exchanges were simply applying the latest technology to the time honored system of flipping positions. Now we live in the High-Frequency matrix, based upon millisecond reactions, which activates on information that is not offered to everyone at the same time. Forbes explains accordingly in High Frequency Insider Trading And Its Completely Legal! According to a team of Wall Street Journal reporters from an article on June 12, the practice works to the advantage of professional traders. Economic reports from public universities, trade groups and other nongovernmental organizations can move markets as surely as official data from the U.S. government, according to the Journals team of four reporters: Brody Mullins, Michael Rothfeld, Tom McGinty, Jenny Strasburg. But unlike government reports, where pains are taken to make certain no one gets them ahead of time, few rules control release of nongovernmental economic reports. Unknown to many investors, selling early access is routine. Access to this highly valuable information is the key. And such access comes at a price. Rapid traders pay information companies like Thomson Reuters thousands of dollars each month for a look at such reports, moments before they are widely disseminated. And its in those few key seconds, that they make their killing. Seemingly, this high-tech access to supercharged information is the newest version of insider information. The following assessment is also from the same Business Week account. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has called HFT insider trading 2.0 on a number of occasions. His office is looking into the relationships between traders, brokers and exchanges and asking whether it all needs to be reformed. The FBI spent the last year looking to uncover manipulative trading practices among HFT firms; the federal agency is now asking speed traders to come forward as whistleblowers. Chicago is not much different from their Wall Street exchange cousins. Litigation over this practice is referenced in the report, CME Sued For Giving High-Frequency Traders Peek At Market Since 2007. In a lawsuit that was just filed by lead plaintiff William Charles Braman, seeking class-action status, and filed on behalf of all users of real-time futures market data and futures contracts listed on the CBOT and CME from 2007 to now, the CME is alleged to have sold order information to high-frequency traders ahead of other market participants. Apparently it took the general public a Michael Lewis book to reread our post from October 2012 in which we showed that an estimated over 30% of CME revenues were made from HFT in other words from selling proprietary data in direct feeds to high-paying subscribers that hits collocated servers ahead of the consolidated tape. Well, what the layman would see as obvious, influential security lawyers see as neat ambiguity. The Forbes story continues. But it is legal, and so is binary options trading on the advance peeks, the Journal reported. Even as securities rules bar companies from selective data disclosure, and as authorities vigorously pursue insider trading in all its forms, no law prevents investors from trading on nonpublic information they have legally purchased from other private entities. Trading would be illegal only if the information was passed through a breach of trust, said securities lawyers. It should be clear that the financial system is designed to accommodate creative and innovative methods of price manipulation. The defenders of Crony Capitalism see such stratagems as a 21st century sophisticated version of robber baron corporatism, in the fine tradition of Jay Gould and James Fisk. Clipping an ensured few cents on billions of transactions is surely a slick system. Fabricating automatic returns is bad enough, but what is the public risk of producing a real panic when High-Frequency momentum turns into a full propelled blow off? When a robot computer generates buy or sell orders, the difference between winning and losing is based upon the speed of the information used to place and execute orders. If your algobots taps into info, not available to the entire market, the game is rigged. Matthew OBrien in Everything You Need to Know About High-Frequency Trading, makes a valid point. Every HFT strategy depends on not only being faster than ordinary investors, but being faster than each other too. Anytime somebody comes up with a new way to cut a few microsecondsthat is, a millionth of a secondoff of trading time, they have to spend whatever it takes to do it. Otherwise, theyll lose out to their competitors who do. Imagine this disconnect with real economic reality that place trades, with little concern if it is a long or short. Only the speed matters. The conclusion from the Negotium essay Financial Algorithmic Trading, holds true. Banning the interconnect of proprietary programs that amalgamate directly into the systems on the floor of the exchanges is the only way to prevent the integration of systemic collusion among the 1 and 0 computer programs.

2	First American Olympian To Wear Hijab, Turns On Us With One Sickening Move [VIDEO] Ibtihaj Muhammad is the first American Muslim to compete in the Olympics in hijab, after the United States gave her special permission to break dress code. That didnt stop the New Jersey native from turning on our country the moment she arrived in Rio. [I feel unsafe] all the time, she said in an interview. I had someone follow me home from practice and try to report me to the police. And this is right on 28th and 7th in New York City. I want people to know that as hard as [these racist incidents] are on me, they dont come even close to things weve seen like the shooting in North Carolina or the rhetoric around the Khan family at the DNC. Its ridiculous and we as a country have to change and I feel like this is our moment. Muhammad also said she hopes that the fact that she is competing in the Olympics makes life easier for Muslims in the United States. Im hoping that with my first-time appearance as a member of Team USA here at the Olympics, Im hoping that the rhetoric around the Muslim community will change, she concluded. What do you think of Muhammads comments? 
2	Principle Threatens To Suspend Kid For Wearing THIS Shirt, Watch His Response [VIDEO] Over the past few years, weve seen an escalation of gun violence in this country. Of course, liberals have been passing extensive legislation on what students can bring to school, and even going as far as censoring how students dress. When one 13-year-old boy from Oregon named Alan Holmes wanted to show support for his brother serving as a Marine, he proudly wore a t-shirt representing his admiration. Instead, he was punished. The shirt Alan was wearing said, Standing for those who stood for us. On the shirt, there was an image of the famous battlefield cross, showing a rifle in boots with a helmet on top. He only got to fourth period before the vice principal at Dexter McCarty Middle School confronted him, telling him he had to change what he was wearing or face an in school suspension. Alan maintained that his shirt was a statement of support, not one of violence. Still, the school maintained that due to the zero tolerance policy, the shirt is not suited for a school environment. Alans older brother claims that Alan standing up for what he believes in is amazing, and he supports him in every day. What do you think of this report? Was the school wrong to punish Alan? 
2	Woman Takes Stand, Interrupts Muslim Prayers At National Cathedral [VIDEO] Recently, during the first Muslim prayer service at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C., one woman decided to take a stand and publicly object to Muslims conducting prayers in a Christian church. Jesus Chris died on that cross over there! the woman yelled to the crowd. He is the reason why we are to worship only him. Jesus Christ is our lord and savior! We have built, and allowed you here in mosques across the country, she went on. Why cant you worship in your mosque, and leave our churches alone? The National Cathedral is of Episcopal faith, and began construction in 1907. It was finally fully completed in 1990, and has since been designated as the National House of Prayer by congress. It was the building that housed key prayer events during World War II and post-9/11. According to reports, this instance marked the first major Islamic event at the Cathedral, which has been met with controversy. I just cant understand this, claimed on NBC viewer. Would they allow a Christian prayer service in a mosque? Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
3	Obama, Clinton, and Sanders Could Stop the Riots But They Just WatchBy Daisy Luther The very people who have the power to stop these protests and riots with just a few well-spoken words have been completely silent on the issue. During her concession speech, Clinton said, We must accept this result, and then look to the future. Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead. After that, she has been mum on the entire thing. Hillary Clinton could have asked her followers to stop this nonsense, and they probably would have listened out of respect for her. (Misplaced respect but thats a whole different article.) Instead, her silence makes me think that she is hidden away, relishing the chaos. That she has done nothing to attempt to calm the situation underlines the fact that she was not fit to govern. A leader would look out for the best interests of a country they love, rather than watching from afar to apply balm to her wounded ego. Instead, her Twitter is full of Bible quotes (huh?) and mentions nary a word about the protests. It has not been updated since the day after her failed bid. Bernie Sanders, the one from whom the Democratic primary was fraudulently stolen, the one who backed up Hillary Clinton anyway, has also been uncharacteristically silent, especially for an aging peace-and-love hippie kind of guy. He hasnt once asked the protesters to be peaceful or to give Trump a chance, but he has fueled the fire with his cries for them to remain vigilant. Hes already opposing Trump before the guy even gets inaugurated. Even in his essay for the NY Times yesterday, entitled Where Do Democrats Go From Here? he did not gently suggest to his supporters that they turn toward peace. He had the opportunity, the platform, and the love from his followers, and his choice to remain silent tells me that he is just as self-serving as the other politicians, despite his humble, grandfatherly demeanor. Then theres the President, who met cordially with Trump.His Twitter account is likewise mute on the subject of vandalism, arson, and violence in reaction to the election. Note to President Obama: I didnt like it when you were elected either, but I burned neither flags nor effigies. I peacefully dissented throughout your administration but never damaged one single item of property. You screwed the middle class with your horrible health care catastrophe, and yet no one rioted in the streets when you were re-elected to screw us for another four years. Obamas only statement of semi-support was on Wednesday, when he said, The peaceful transfer of power is one of the hallmarks of our democracy. Were actually all on the same team. His statement about the riots was via his press secretary. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest, asked Thursday about the protests, said the president believes the right to free speech should be protected. He added, It is a right that should be exercised without violence. And there are people who are disappointed in the outcome. And the presidents message in the Rose Garden was its not surprising that people are disappointed in the outcome, but its important for us to remember, a day or two after the election, that were Democrats and Republicans, but were Americans and patriots first. Kellyanne Conway, Trumps campaign manager, sees it the same way. She has called on Obama and Clinton to address the violence, but thus far, her request seems to have fallen on willfully deaf ears. Kellyanne Conway (@KellyannePolls) November 10, 2016 Not accepting the result and keeping up the protests will lead to nowhere except more trouble as the contagion of anger spreads. It is only a matter of time before it really gets out of hand andpeople start dying. Since protesters are now actually calling for war and death, if Obama, Clinton, and Sanders really loved America, these three would use their influence to ease the transition and call for peace. Instead, one must wonder if the rumors about a Soros-funded, Clinton-approved Purple Revolutionto destabilize America areabout to become our new reality. Oh and one quick note. It has to be said. The people calling for war and death are overwhelmingly anti-gun. They just might want to rethink the wisdom of directing their death threats, physical attacks, and aggression toward Second Amendment proponents. Daisy Luther is a freelance writer and editor. Her website,The Organic Prepper, wherethis article first appeared, offers information on healthy prepping, including premium nutritional choices, general wellness and non-tech solutions. You can follow Daisy onFacebookandTwitter, and you can email her atdaisy@theorganicprepper.ca the rioters should be put in fema camps, where they receive mandatory vaccines and large doses of risperdal. No need to act like a tyrant. Just let them burn out. They are mainly tearing up the neighborhoods who will accept the activity. Hope they will burn out but with Soros am sure he will escalate theserioters to continue to act like fools All prayer warriors should pray for our nation,rebuking martial law,as thats what emperor wannabe desires,and pray for our new president and vp elect Thing is, some of the people in those neighborhoods are innocent!!! These innocent people have the 2nd Amendment. They dont need to wait for government to act. Activate your constitutional well-regulated militia and defend your neighborhoods. Now that is what I would do but that would not work if some of the other ideas suggested here were put into play!!! I still think my fire hose idea is a good one!!!! You are right but they need to move or shoot them themselves You know darn well that neither of those are viable options!!! Obama has been taking stockpiles of emergency food from suppliers the last 2 years. Some major stores have also been closed for some reason in that time. But they need to deal with any looters seriously, no matter their cause, and nip it in the bud. Lets give Trump control and power now, we need him to defeat evil and corruption. Their tearing up Democratic sections of America. Just goes to show how dumb they really are! Never thought of that. Too funny. Dumb, yes! It also shows exactly what kind of people they are! They support Obama, Hillary and Sanders, etc., all of whom do not open their mouths to quiet this horrific rioting! Unacceptable! Amen and lets help Trump. lol, hes just another corrupt politician now. butt hurt sore loser. Obama told people to stop rioting yesterday. Where were you? Oh, thats right probably getting your news off Facebook. they just dont make trolls like they used to. I think I saw Noam Beefheart on this season of Southpark. Lets HOPE its just stupidity. Do they not realize theyre defending a Satanist, (probable) murderess and the head of the most in-your-face crime syndicate since the synagogue created Central Bank?? I dont really think they even have a clue what their doing. Someone is controlling all these actions and Id love to see somebody find Soros and turn out his lights. Hes about 85 years old with no family heir as motivated so this stuff wont outlive him. Think how great it is that he has spent so much money funding these rat pacs and he is still losing ground. His influence has dropped with Dems out of control. Maybe some FBI people will start to investigate him as part of a conspiracy to commit mayhem. In his last days he will likely never see anything but Republican rule. He has several children, the one to keep an eye on is his son Robert. Its 100% SOREASS!!! HE needs to join CROOKED and OBUMMER in PRISON!!! They are protesting another election where the peoples vote was reversed by the Electoral College and Trumps racism and ugly comments about women, his mockery of the disabled, his calling the poor morons. The Trump sheet hate protest, tho he mounted a protest campaign against tolerance: Get em outta here (he said to peaceful protesters). Rough him up. I will pay the fines. Whats to protest. Protest is illegalor we should make it so. There are no more democrats they all turned communist. Actually theres still a lot of democrats left, however most of them are feeling a little lost right now because their leaders are MISSING IN ACTION!!! Some are communists masquarading as socialists masquarading as democrats. Wow, you obviously dont know a goddamn thing about politics to say something so ridiculously idiotic. Can you say false flag provocateurs as with Occupy? Insanity Always be a light that is shininginthedark The Americans who are protesting against Democracy, the Republic, and the Constitution are acting in an Unamerican manner, and these would be those who are engaged in rioting, rather than protesting. Voters went to Vote to Elect a President, and the Rules are that the Candidate that wins the Presidential Election is the President. We Know that no Candidate was going to receive 100 % of the Vote, and this means that only one side would be have their preferred Candidate win the Election, and the Republican Donald Trump won the Election for President over Hillary Clinton of the Democratic Party. This means that other side is Obligated to accept the result and to Act Acceptably, and as those who are Worthy of having a Republic and a Democracy. This is because this is how the Founding Fathers decided that America chooses its President, and other Elected Representatives, because this is the Only way for that to be considered to be Legitimate, and that Maintains Law and Order, and shows Respect to Fellow Americans. Donald Trump has not even been inaugurated and so there is Nothing on which to have a Legitimate Protest, and it is Illegitimate to protest over the winner of a Democratic and Constitutionally Mandated Democratic Election, that was Free and Fair. There are People who would Protest over that, and they are the Unelected Illegitimate Dictatorial Establishment Shadow Government that does Not want America to be Democracy. This is because these Unelected People want to Rule America Unconstitutionally and Illegally. We have heard the Lies by the Democrats, that Foreigners were trying to Influence Americas Elections. There are Foreigners protesting in Foreign Countries that the Voters Elected Donald Trump to be President, and this is bringing disgrace to America, because these Foreigners believe the Lies that they have heard from some Americans. There are People suggesting the George Soros who Funds the Democratic Party, and who has conducted several Coups of Democratically Elected Governments is behind this, and so he Knows how to conduct Coups, and he does Not want Donald Trump to be President, but he wants the Establishment Hillary Clinton to be Puppet, or for his other Puppet Barack Obama to Declare Martial Law, and Rule as a Puppet Dictator. We have certain People saying that they will leave America if Donald Trump becomes President, and is this because they Knew of the Conspiracy of George Soros for a Coup in America if Donald Trump was Elected President, or was it just to try to influence Voters, and time will show which one of these it was, but we must allow for one or a few of them moving to another Country for Legitimate reasons, and preferably if it happened after Donald Trump is inaugurated as President, so that People could see that there will be a smooth transition of power. I have do Not know if any American Mainstream Journalists said that they would leave America if Donald Trump became President, because there are Many People who think that it would be Irresponsible for Journalists to say that. There could be some People wondering if President Barack Obama wants the Congress to subpoena any American Mainstream Journalists who have said that they will leave America, if People Vote the way they want, unless they provided Very Detailed Reasons in their Written Articles for that, and it must be in Writing and Signed and Dated, and for which it said under oath in order to keep the records up to date, so that President Barack Obama can be kept informed on the matter. The Corruptocrats and the American Puppet Mainstream Media with their Lies, Slander, and Propaganda, are the ones who are Responsible for this situation. The protesters are saying that they are giving their opinions, but they did that on Election Day, and some of it is Not what Democracy looks like. There Could be some of the Malicious and Slanderous comments by Michael Moore that White People Voted on the basis that they are White rather than on the Economy, National Security, and Employment, then a Group of Black People Could Bring a Class Action against him, because he wants the White People to take the Guilt of what happened long ago and for which No one today is responsible for, because it has been Judged that making Charges of Collective Guilt is defined as Genocide, and Congress may Subpoena Michael Moore because of these Very Serious Offences. It is important that African American bring this Class Action for these Charges and others, and that Michael Moore can Settle out of Court by Donating half of his Wealth to the African American Community, because he Expressed how much he cares for them, and they say that talk is cheap, unless it is Slander or False Accusations of Genocide, and Racism against White People, because there are African Americans who understand that People Cannot and Must Not be Slandered or held Responsible for the actions of others. The Congress should ask Michael Moore in a Private Session if he has been Filmed by George Soros or someone else in an Act of Pedophilia, and that he is now an Unwilling Traitor to America, and that even if he received a Presidential Pardon from President Barack Obama or another President, that he thinks that he Cannot Confess, because his Puppet Master will put the Videos on the Internet, and that he has Not prepared a Country to immigrate to yet, and Congress should try to convince President Barack Obama to grant Michael Moore a Presidential Pardon, and a new Secret Identity for his Services to America. Americans have the Right to protest peacefully and lawfully in a manner that minimizes as much as practically any inconvenience to the Public, because that shows Consideration to Fellow American Citizens. These are the goat worshipers that are paying the poor dumb idiots. We should pray that the three Americans encouraging protests because Trump won presidency should Why Democrat Party cant function 4 America, they must cater to these types of protesters because they NEED their votes! Only 2 of them are Americans!!! And those 2 only are by birth, not philosophy!!! Time to load up OSCUMBAGs FEMA camps with the protestors They are already built and waiting, so a few days cooling off behind bars just might help. FREAKING IDIOTS destroying property in SCUMOCRAT areas. Shows how intelligent THEY are NOT. Actually, the border patrol should be released and round up all of the illegals for processing OUT of this countrytalk about stopping the protests. obama has other plans for those FEMA camps. If rioting people causse personal, harn damage property, or loot, they should be dealt with very severly at the site. According to the law under RIOT provisions. Those that could stop but refuse to help are just as quality as they rioters, possibly aide and abetting them. You could also charge them with conspiracy too!!! The govt has shown its weakness as to going after corrupt and lying officials, I doubt they wopuld be helpful. CLEANING these houses might wake them up. IRS FBI CIA NSA TSA FED CONGRESS the list goes on. Go for it , liberal cretins, riot and then burn the cities that you have to live and work in, burn the liberal dem controlled cities to the ground, no harm done to us. You dont have to say that last part twice! Count me in! Its obvious to all of us now, we can no longer coexist with the liberal dem bloodsucking parasites there is only one way out. Agreed. California is calling for their own country. Adios Amigos..could care less if California fell into the ocean.they can take their 59 electoral votes with them. Notice most of California is red..its those cess pool populations that crowd into their rat holes that turn the state blue. I should know I live in Illinois and the same happens here..the whole state is red except for the corrupt city of rats called Chicago. OK we will give the cretins Southern California.and Chicago. Done. i agree..Illinois is ruled by Cook County and California is run by the loonies in Frisco and LA.The rest of us are Gun-toting rednecks. Why have we allowed them to slander us for so long? We are always described as less.ignorant.uneducated.because why because we are not for their open border liberal agenda.because we are the forgotten throw aways.dinasaurs from another era soon to be replacedThe same is happening in Europe..The People are being replaced by those they believe will be more suitable for the coming tyrann..replaced by those that can be controlled..replaced by those that cannot think.We must remember who we came fromthe blood that runs in our veins does so because so many that came before us sacrificed. They were hoping to chip away at us until we became unrecognizable then just sweep us away into the dust bin of history. Well I can still recognize you and you and you and you and what I see is the sleeping giant Why have we allowed them to slander us for so long? I think the answer may be that Whites are culturally not confrontational and are prone to compromise and simply give in. They do not like to fight or argue. And this mess that exists in the rapidly shrinking USA is the result. Whites are culturally not confrontational yeah, except for all those black people we lynched. clinging to our Bilbles I exactly. I live here in Kalifornivsky. It is overrun with illegals and polluted by a dem legislature, sexual perverts demanding total acceptance without comment, self righteous PCers, global war its and all manner of libtard social do good ears. As can be evidenced by the fools being hired by the snake Soros, bused round the country and, (if its possible), making even larger walking colons of themselves. Lets give it to them, not much good comes out of california anyway Agreed. They can have Chicago.NYC.and Miami too.they can call it the federation of failures Hmmm.Sixth largest economy in the world, produces 25% of the entire nations food supply, home to half the Pacific Fleet, plus the wine, craft beer, Yosemite.Nope. Nothing going on here. Take a look at the County by County election results, and you can see that there are TWO distinct States outlined here. Im all for a split along the general shape of the red/blue delineation. We in the red area will have all of the ag production, and all of the water. Well be charging LA a buck a gallon for it, and putting land BACK in production that has been lying fallow so Moonbeam can send OUR water down to LA to water semi-tropical media mogul gardens and fill their effing pools. sorry bud ..but 25% of the nations foodNO your wrong, cornbelt does and others states add all up, get down off that liberal horse and face reality boy California does provide much of the nations winter fruit and vegetables.. It used to provide 90% of our winter fruits and vegetables and that is down to 25% now because of the leftists water policies. The cornbelt doesnt provide much in the winter. Mexico and South America now provide. We should be supporting the folks like Chuck who understand whats going on, instead of just putting him down. You didnt read the post correctly. I am not a liberal. Im saying my vote didnt count because the state is dominated by LA and the Bay Area. And you are wrong. CA is in fact the 6th largest economy on the planet, and produces at least 25% of the total VALUE of Americas ag production. Secession will not be allowed, no matter what the Snowflakes vote for. But splitting the state along party lines, which would give the coast to the left, and the agricultural center and north to the right, may be doable. It could even be the subject of a lawsuit, since those of us who live in the Red counties have almost no representation in either state or federal government. Sorry bud, get down off your hobby horse and face reality. See how that feels to be talked to like that? Those that lack education should at least hang on to their civility, if they ever had any; it will make them appear less foolish. All the good people needs to leave, then let all the democrats stay there and cry Buying votes with handouts, that has been a way of life for the liberal dem bloodsuckers for 50 years. I lived in and operated a business, in Chicago, for 22 years, September of1999, I moved my family and business out of Chicago. Agreed..I so want to move to Tennessee! Hopefully Iwill get there before they continue its planned destruction. I have read that Tennessee is one of the states that they are dumping thousands of Muslim refugeees.soon to be millions unless the invasion is stopped. Why did we let it get to this point? I suppose we have been busy doing life.it had to reach this point to wake us up and speakand we needed a man such as Donalad Trump to take the reins and lead us. You I have been amazed since Trumps bid for office from the beginning..why would someone that lives the life Trump does even care about The People.it really says something about the inner man. The DNCthe RNCTHE MSM the world was antiTrump even down to the Pope.yet The People saw through all of it. It truly is remarkable and I honestly believe there is something profound at work here. Call it a higher power.or lets just call it what it isGod is at work here.IfGod Be For Us Who Can Be Against Us I live in Tn. we have asmall group of them in a medium sized city just east of Nashville. Roughly 25% of our ladies carry and are quite proficient. Well then Ill be well protected when I get there (never fired a gun in my life.actually I think I held one only once) Tennessee in my opinion is one of the most beautiful statesits people are beautiful tooI actually believe thats why they are dumping muslims in states like TNthe planned destruction of middle America. Seriously you must start contacting your government and say no more.I believe President Trump will put a stop to the invasion. Pull up on you tube what is happening in Europe..it is a complete take over with governments that for the life of me I cannot figure out why they are allowing..Eastern Europe is the last hold out.they are refusing to allow in the Trojan Horse.Truly I speak truth! Saudi Arabia could house feed take care of indefinitely yet they have not taken one refugee.its a planned take overClinton had big plans for all of us.lets hope its not too late. Actually its never too late The NMuslinms are not having agood time here, everything they try to do is met with much grief, Pay close attention for their next move. Ann Arbor Michigan area has been overrun with Islamic rule.they openly call for Sharia..the call to prayer begins at 6:00 am with loud speakers blaring Islamic prayers proclaimng there is no God but Allah..can you even imagine Christian prayers being allowed to be proclaimed on loud speakers..people who have lived there all of their lives have been forced to move. Islam once embedded grows until it overtakes everything in its path. You know what very soon we will not even be able to talk like this online..in Europe if you say one word against Islam they come looking for you..its coming here too.just wait. They say its the Christian thing to do that we must take care of these people..I dont think so..God never said to let a people that hate everything you are into your land and allow them to overcome you and your childrenallow them to change your lawsthat you must bow down to their demands all the while feeding them housing them allowing them to fill your schools..no God never said once let pagan Gods overcome you. Why are only Western countries being forced to change their culture to accomodate multiculturalism. I hate it. I am not a racist..never was a racistbut why our countries.our cultures.our people.they laugh in our faces always remember we are the only minority on the planet..do the math..we are the minority. I am a former marine, my last 2 years in the Corps was spent as marksman ship instructor on the weapons range at Quantico, Va. Gerald thank you for serving this country. Please do not get upset.its going to be o.k. We will get through all of this. With this new administration I am certain things will change. Be patient and things will turn around. Your rights are not going to be taken. We voted and we made a difference. I feel confident that President Trump will give all of our Vets the respect they deserve. This administration wil change the status quo. Not upset, at all. Determined is good Gerald Its going to be just as bad as any other administration. Lets hope not. I am thinking that since Trump is not part of the corrupt establishment things might change. I agree both dems and rep play the same game but remember Trump is not beholden to any of them.both the DNC and RNC were openly against himnot to mention the controlled media. I believe he will try unless the system is so defiled Trump will be mired down in the swamp he wants to drain. Its over. Hes already surrounded by DC insiders. Once anyone is president they can longer be trusted. Lets hope your wrong..I cannot think of one outsider like a Trump ever sitting in the oval office. Noam . hope! If not we just cannot give up..watching on cable all the chaos.riots all over. Well if they wanted chaos they got chaos. You know we really could use Messiah right about now. Man just cannot get it right on his own. When will we ever understand this. The state with the highest rate of teen pregnancy? Hows that abstinence working for ya? Seriouslythen where do you suggest I move. I am not a teen so it will not affect me directly. Sodom and Gommorah is beginning to look like Mayberry in comparison to the experiment called USA. Interesting name.Noam pleasant I like to call them American Socialists and Communists. I prefer to call them liberal dem bloodsucking parasites. Are there really buses by the dozens full of paid protestors going into Chicago? My husband works there, but we live out of state. Not sure but will check into that. Do not live in Chicago (are you kidding me) Oh, I thought you lived in Illinois and may have seen something on local news. Sorry, must have been mistaken. Yep, Soros Funded, DNC SUPPORTED b.s trumps the president now show some leadership instead this is his job to reassure the people unless hes not up to it. Its NOT Trumps job until January 20, 2017!! Until then its Obamas job and he better get off his a$$ and DO IT! Sorry Dude.Trump is not the president..can you imagine the uproar if he addresses the scum bags as their president before he is sworn in. This is Obamas turf and he knows it..he is part of it just like he is part of Black lives matter. Obeyme is hoping to start his own Arab Spring, so he can declare martial lawbetter not come into the Red areas of Califor it will be a fight. And we are pretty good at hitting what we aim at. Indeed George Soros purple revolutions around the world are precisely why Hillary and Bill came out in their purple clothes the day after Trump won. Obombya is not part of BLM. Hes just another elitist warmonger, just like Clinton and Bush. Are you an NEA EDUCATED MORON? OBUMBLING IDIOT THE 1ST IS PRESIDENT BOZOS, UNTIL JANUARY. 20TH 2017. Ignorant twojakes. Obama is the president now. Better to keep silent than to open your mouth and let everyone know how uninformed you actually are. Now that you know who the president is you must believe that as president it is Obama that should show some leadership, right? NO! You will now disagree with your own reasoning with a liberal spplication of rationalization, because, you are wallowing, lost in the left right continuum. You believe you must pick a side and stick to it regardless of the outcome. Get some education. Try studing the U.S. Constitution. Next time adults are speaking do not. Better to remain silent than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Obeemer will probably flee the county. I think, that, likely, he can not stay in then USA with only 6 SS agents to protect him Soros is behind it.the sad truth is these dimwits do not understand that they are being used. And yeah youre right Gerald they are tearing up their own turf.total bafoons. . All those cretins (going to use this going forward ) will be screaming for those they riot against to demand we go behind them and clean up their mess. We must stand our ground .. no compromise and all of us need to have President Trumps back. In Hillerys big speech, her and Michel were wearing their purple sashes of organized protest. Doesnt that let us know that they are actually supporting the riots and protests. And all of this bullcrap is created by Soros. He is the one who supports the destruction of the United States, and the others ar stupid lemmings. Not just Soros, but, he is a lot of the trouble. Eat the Ashes Another promise for you, you bring that crap out into our world, we will hunt you like rabid dogs. These are the populace the libs have tended for so long. Unthinking, emotional, and reactive. easily controlled. They are the participation trophy kids who have never faced actual defeat at any point in their life. We are witnessing the collective foot-stamping tirade of an entire generation whove just had their DS3 taken away by daddy for the first time. You got it right on. Make no mistake about itthey are dangerous, also They arent easily controlled though. All the liberal elites that have helped to create these monsters may find that out the hard way before long. I doubt they will be too happy when it is their flat that goes up in flames. The democratic party isnt attempting to control them. This is a prequel to martial law. Theyre baiting trump supporters to engage them so they can blame the right. Its fully funded and supported by the leadership. This could have been called off in a day by Obama or Hillary if they didnt want it. So youre saying Obama is going to declare martial law soon? LMFAO. Hes had eight years to do that and he never did. Called off? Obombya told protesters to chill out yesterday. Perhaps you should pay more attention to the news. One very frightening point to consider is this; Like our Israeli-trained cops, these tens of thousands of protestors think so little of this nation they will, (for a fist full of dollars), wreak havoc, piss on our founding documents and kill their fellow Americans.. Just as the treasonous cops are doing to ALL citizens, not just (as Soros pays BLM to disseminate), blacks/minorities. What did Nero do when he perceived he was losing power? He burnt his own city to the ground. What may Obama do now that his power and plans may unravel with a Trump presidency? Naturally, he will burn HIS own city to the ground. What city is that, but Chicago. National martial law begins in Chicago. Just a little insider scoop. Now we will have the fun of dealing with the conservative elites for the next 4-8 years. woohoo! the guy fawkes mask is as gay and pass as your name beef heart. Its called NEA EDUCATED MORONS MILLENIALS et all. The youth have renounced the moribund Democratic Party, the corrupt Republican Party, and have chosen independence. They voted for Sanders, a socialists who rejects the program of establishment liberals. The young educated who are just starting out are one trillion in debt to pay for their education: they are paying 6-7% interest, earning the Dept of Education $50 billion a year. Those who have lost the vibrancy and open minds of youth always condemn them! College grads earn a million more than the poorly educated that Trump loves for being such sheep they would vote for him if he murdered someone in broad daylight (he stated), and pay $200,000 more in their lifetimes than the morons as Trump calls the poor, and they use far less government aid. They have rejecting the herd thinking of those who criticize them and are blazing a new path..which those left behind resent and thus feel compelled to call them names. It is the Trumps who get free stuff: born rich, millions in loans, government guarantees, pay no taxessend jobs to slave labor nations. 220 billion in subsidies to rich industries like banks, energy, and weapons, drugs and Big Ag. 20 billion goes for Temporary Aid to Needy Families, the majority of whom are children and poor seniors and disabled and working mothers. SNAP gives $4.40 a day for food to those who lost their jobs (8 million in Bushs last two budgets) due to the Great Recession, reaching 20 million in households with lost jobs. Fossil fuel corporations get $5 trillion a year in subsidies (IMF study), despite being literally the richest corporations in all history, often making tens of billions in profits (and often paying no taxes). But lets ignore the real thieves and denounce the youth, because unlike the criminals who have ripped us off so long, they are victims and easy to trash. Here is a song by Bob Dylan from the previous 60s generation that was denounced by the sideline hecklers: Come gather round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon Youll be drenched to the bone If your time to you is worth savin Then you better start swimmin or youll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance wont come again And dont speak too soon For the wheels still in spin And theres no tellin who that its namin For the loser now will be later to win For the times they are a-changin Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Dont stand in the doorway Dont block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled Theres a battle outside and it is ragin Itll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And dont criticize What you cant understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is rapidly agin Please get out of the new one if you cant lend your hand For the times they are a-changin The line it is drawn The curse it is cast The slow one now Will later be fast As the present now Will later be past The order is rapidly fadin And the first one now will later be last For the times they are a-changin Digest this, sideliners Please get out of the new one if you cant lend your hand For the times they are a-changin That was a lot of words. Must mean youre really smart. So kids wanted Bernie, and oddly, its Bernie asking them to continue the protest and damage other peoples stuff while theyre at it. All, while thumbing their collective nose at rule of law. So, our kids think they are above the law. and thats where our future lies. Strange, Sanders hasnt told anyone to riot. He has told them to continue the protest even though its really a riot. Protesters dont destroy property and injure people, rioters do. He has very conspicuously NOT told them to can the destruction. They are comparable to Maos Red Guards screeching about their little Red Book. Cannot imagine if this were the other way freaks like Madcow and the rest of the irrelevants would be howling they refuse to condemn. Ok libbies..youve chosen sides and its game on. There was a reason we armed ourselves and this was one of them. Its time for a total cleansing and the Liberty tree is thirsty. Soros and his family need to go. In a final and swift way. It was Trumps words, not Obamas, not Hillarys and not Bernies words, it was Trumps words that gave rise to these protests. Trump is the one who needs to assure these people they have nothing to fear from him because it is fear that is driving them to protest. It is Trumps responsibility to unite this nation, as he said he would. Now is the time to show he has what it takes. Now is the time for wingnuts to look to the man they elected to begin solving problems, but instead, they want to blame Obama, Hillary, and Bernie. Very telling how wingnuts were all about the Constitution and individual rights before the election, but now, they want to lock up all those who exercise their right to protest. Obviously, those who use the protest as an excuse to damage and loot should be shot but peaceful protest is constitutionally guaranteed and wingnuts should now prove they support the constitution by supporting the protestors rights. Those who dont understand why these people are protesting need to realize that for the second time in the past four elections a Republican has lost the popular vote yet was still appointed to the Presidency. Bullcrap! Trumps words were not harmful except to a bunch of idiots who began getting brainwashed and programmed back in 2008. Sounds more like youre the brainwashed one. You can be in denial all you want but that doesnt change the fact that these protests are against Trump and its Trumps responsibility to fix it. You didnt vote for Obama and he doesnt owe you a damn thing. Trump won and unless he can also direct our military and EPA why should he intervene in this DemonKKKRatic Mafia party mess? This is what happens when there is a call for law and order. Democrats do like their outlaws. Yeah and ur part of the problem Not appointed, elected!!! By the standard method chosen over 200yrs ago by our founding fathers!!! And these protestors are not going to listen to a word Trump has to say at this point in time!!! First they have to calm down!!! No one is trying to take away their right to protest, its the rioters that must be stopped and once that is done then maybe we can get the legitimate protestors to the table for peace talks!!! And it is not Trumps words that has these people stirred up, its the fact that these spoiled brainwashed little brats didnt get their participation trophies or their way and they dont know how to deal with it so they are throwing a 5yr olds temper tantrum complete with the kicking and screaming!!! One of my daughters did that in a toy store one time and I just said bye and walked off and hid around the corner and watched through the shelves and after about one minute she realized she was alone and she jumped up and ran toward the way I went!!! When I stepped out she hugged me so hard with relief and never did it again!!! Point is, if we take out the rioters and ignore the protestors, this whole thing will blow over in no time flat!!! This is in no way Trumps fault, its is a weak societies fault for rewarding losers when they have done nothing to earn it which makes them expect something for nothing on a daily basis!!! Participation trophies have ruined an entire generation!!! Really?You have been brainwashed by the media etc time to do so some homework on George Soros and the NWO of which the Bushes,Clintons and Obama are proponents of Ken, youre a real piece of work. Youve bought in to the talking points and would defend the big three with your life. They love your koolaid stained tongue that says they should do nothing at all about this America hating attitude. Sad for you. So during the day they play with coloring books and play dough and at night they turn into criminal elements. Im sure some socialist progressive DemonKKKRat will make a comic book of these idiots. Clinton supporters are just mad cause they each only voted 9 times. Now, they realize they should have each voted 18 times They forgot to count the finger they used to point at each other finger when they were attempting to count to 10. I grew up in NW Pa. Roughly 40 mi. S. of Erie. Used to fish Pymatuming,French Crk. Woodcock crk. . Went to sch. at Saegertown,worked in Meadville before heading to midwest. I have done some fishing in those areas too. Pymatuming dam feeding the carp when I was younger, I grew up in Erie, and we took bus trips with the Boys Club. And enough dead people didnt vote. The Clinton supporters are deplorable. Obama is laying the groundwork for President of The New World Order. One world, one government. Communism never rests. Socialism is the back door to communism. Obeemer should be in prisoner with Hitlery for treason. Hope trump is not listening to obama in the transitioning gameDo not trust the man! I do trust Obama. To lie and obfuscate anything he says. He has a great record of that. DONALD TRUMP is the MAN did you get a good look at the DON while he was sitting next to obozo. YEAH!! right OK! obozo sounds good to me. He wanted to get away from him . GOD BLESS DONALD TRUMP GOD BLESS USA Trump is more intelligent than that. Anyone who believes one word out of obozos mouth is a moron. D.T. is trying to be perceived as complacent until he actually takes the W.H. Wise move. Pray for Thump and the future of the USA Absolutely right! Hed throw his mother overboard to save his ship! I hope Trump sticks to his guns. He was elected for what he said he would do if elected. Now Obeemer is changing him with evil. President Trump is waaaayyyyy beyond Obama. Obama is chump change in Trumps pocket..insignificant a few ,,,,,, in history If if gets bad enough obama will declare martial law. Im guessing thats the plan. And itll happen before the Dec 19th electoral vote. Thats what I think. This is all planned. Dont wish for that. I dont trust him. After all he has signed an ex order to use UN troops in this country. as far as Im concerned I see a un truck coming down my street Ill kill them as foreign invaders. Also goes for his fema troops UN trucks are all over the country. You must have misunderstood me. I dont wish for anything like that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This S/B done NOW that obozo is a POS always been a big F**kiing POS. Yep. That would be a really bad idea even from the POS in the White House.with over 150 million armed citizens, that would not be good and dont think that ALL of the military will be out to destroy the very people they took an oath to protect. First of all the military did NOT take an oath to protect the PEOPLE!!! The oath we took was to protect and defend the CONSTITUTION from ALL enemies BOTH foreign and DOMESTIC!!!! But I do agree, I think the US military will be on our side, not Obamas!!! After all the crap he has done to them, they do not think very highly of him right now!!! Combine the military with the police and the redneck army, the UN is in for a world of hurt if they try anything on American soil!!! That would also be the final nail in Obamas coffin!!! I understand he has his own trained soldiers ready. I guarantee you they dont have the training the 3 groups I mentioned does!!! Plus we are on our home turf!!! That is a huge advantage!!! I hope youre in my neck of the woods. LOL!!! I live in the mid south!!! Im in sort of the mid-east. I used to be in the mid south. I love the south and those guns !!! Come to MO. We have plenty and even more ammo. I live in the south and we have the guns ammo and least of all the intelligence to defend ourselves Why do you this Obeemer and Hitlery tried to take your guns. No one has tried to take anything from me yet!!! If they do it will be a fight, I can guarantee that!!! Notice what the last sentence said.They just might want to rethink the wisdom of directing their death threats,physical attacks,and aggression toward 2nd amendment proponents.Yes indeed,there are many that would love to oblige them so i would suggest that they calm down,not for our own good,but for their own. People like that dont think, not rationally anyway. What do people expect from a Socialist administration. A call for piece? Hoping you meant, peace! There are way too many pieces! For Democrats to understand, I used the term of their preferred religion, the religion of piece. Like the Muslims love piece; a piece of you here and a piece of you over there. . . . Get in my way and Ill run these leftists over. If I was president Id have the cops shoot them where they stand. Hey why would they stop these RIOTS? Obama since he is President (CAN) declare Martial Law and use the UN to enforce his LAW and to take away our GUNS! and he would then place Hillary as his VP and Bernie would be their Lackey. Obama is a sly Fox he has been in the Hen House so long that the HENS think he is one of them until he ATTACKS and Kills them ALL. Who is OBAMA? DO YOU KNOW? Where was he BORN? WHAT IS HIS REAL BCK GROUND? America has NO IDEA as he is the ONLY PRESIDENT TO (EVER) HAVE HIS RECORDS SEALED! WHY? What is he HIDDING? He will use the UN because President Trump said why pay UN as WE can use this Money to make AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! America is DIVIDE D but President TRUMP WANTS TO UNITE AMERICA AGAIN. UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL! America wake up before Obama declares MARTIAL LAW, and then do exactly what Hitler did became Germanys Dictator do YOU WANT OBAMA AS DICTATOR???? Ask yourself all these Questions Only you can be the JUDGE Aint gonna happen.this is why we allow these imbecilic morons to trash their democratically controlled cities.go ahead and end up with something that looks like Detroit. They are just stupid and ridiculousand you cannot fix stupid and they are paid protestors by Soros. Someone needs to throw about five strings of high volume firecrackers into the middle of the crowd that sound like gun shots and see how fast they disperse. They bus people in to riot, and Soros pays them $15-$18 per hour to riot. One of the best things to come out of this election was shining a light on that evil pos, GEORGE SOROS. Now more people know about this waste of skin how he is plotting to destroy our country. He is a megalomaniac who wants One World Order has been quoted as saying his only obstacle is the United States. He will never stop spending his billions to achieve that end even by paying Bill Ayres, et al. to organize conduct these riots. Take notice of what these crowds look like i. e. Illegals, students, minorities. I concur. George Soros is a snake in the weeds and a major contributot to the H.C. campaign, btw. Prison for Demented Soros before more people get hurt. Remember, Ole George has a son thats worse then he is!! T how email bot in prison. WE THE PEOPLE should though CS gas into the rioters. So theyre hiring? Youre 100% correct. im not worried that Donald will fall for any tricks BO has up he sleeve! Trump is twice as smart, shrewd and confident as BO! When your being particularly stupid you use large caps! President Obama has established himself a socialist. He is likely a communist masquarading as a socialist masquarading as a democrat. No caps. You dont have to be stupid to use LARGE CAPS and using LARGE CAPS doesnt MAKE you stupid! Hi EdI have found that many who use caps simply have trouble actually seeing the type(macular degeneration). Not being critical at all; just thought you may not know this. Richard,,,,Obama CANNOT declare martial law without the consent of congress, The Posse Comitatus act specifically prohibits it. Very few in the military would obey such an unlawful order. All he would accomplish would be a coup dtat that could easily cost him his life. As far as him attempting to have UN troops invade the country, they would be blown out of the sky and out ot the water before they ever reached landfall by the very same military that would refuse his unlawful order, but if they did manage to get onto US soil the general population would kill them as they landed. Amen to that. Obama has crafted several Executive Orders that allow him to BYPASS CONGRESS in declaring Martial Law! All he needs is a viable reason to do so which massive uncontrolled riots nationwide would satisfy quite nicely!! IF he is going to do anything, it will have to be done prior to the inauguration (Jan.20)! He can declare martial law in the If the bumb tries he will be eliminated. Why would theinept one, Crooked Hillary, and the bern try to stop the rioting by their ignorant clones? These anti-American protestors are a direct result of 8 years of the current administrations policies to transform the United States into a 3rd world country ! George Soros has succeeded beyond his wildest dreams ! Lets see here. Mainstream Christian churches abhor, deplore, and condemn acts of violence by radical Christian groups so all christians must be bad. Mainstream Muslim leaders refuse to condemn violent terrorist acts in the name of Islam, so they must be peace loving. Therefore mainstream democrat leaders who refuse to repudiate terrorist acts in the name of Democracy must be the true peace lovers as well. Dont cha see how it works? Oh wait? Your a conservative, so you must be stupid, too. I personally think the idea of a wall is absurd, but if its moved away from the Mexican border to be around LA, San Francisco, Chicago, and the North East corridor then I might get on board. End the Riots NOW! SHOOT TO KILL! Did you mean, SHOOT?? If he didnt, I do!!! They must be stopped ASAP!!! Protesting is fine but the rioting is a whole different ballgame!!! Protests and Riots are two different things The current activity taking place are protests done civily with a few incidents of violence by small groups of people. A riot is what happened in Baltimore after the Freddie Gray trial. Be very careful what you call a protest and a riot because it may affect you and your right to public dissent protest. If you have 10.000 people gathered to voice thier dissatisfaction over an issue and a group of less than 1% cause violence that small groups actions does not turn the protest into a riot. If they are really that upset Trump won then they should been more activly involved in the election. But they still have the right to public protest. Those small groups you mentioned are being paid to lead the large groups into violence!!! They must be stopped immediately!!! If not then Obama WILL declare martial law and then the SWHTF!!! His federal troops will plow us all down in those UN tanks. I dont think so!!! There are all sorts of ways to deal with tanks!!! Iraq and Afghanistan taught us that!!! I hope theres enough of you to go around ! On second thought, if we get an EMP dropped on us it might take out his tanks too. Do you have any idea how many vets there are in this country??? How many of us are also of American Indian descent??? How many of us grew up in the woods or the mountains??? Watch the movie Red Dawn again!!! Either version!!! That is what is in store for the UN if they mess with us!!! We will do to them 10 times worse than what Afghanistan did to us and Russia!!! We were only fighting the terrorists over there!!! The UN will be fighting ALL of us here!!! And our WOMEN can shoot very well too!!! Thats comforting!! Im not a bad shot either. Enough with the conspiracy BS the election is over these morons are the same people that start violence during big sporting event public celebrations. There is always a core group of malcontents that look for any opportunity to incite violence during large public gatherings. Normally you would be right but not this time!!! It has already been proven that George Soros has been behind almost all of the dirty play going on that has anything at all to do with American politics for many yrs now!!! He also is funding the black lives matter movement among other similar groups!!! He bussed in protestors from other cities in Ferguson and other cities where blm held protests!!! Thats a fact, look it up!!! He is also behind these riots, not the protests but the riots!!!! They are trying to escalate these riots to the point where Obama can justify declaring martial law so he can take back the WH and keep Trump out indefinitely!!! Why do you think all those UN troops and equipment are here??? Obama knows he cant count on the police or military to back him up!!! Obama, Hilary, and Bernie are nothing but puppets for Soros and you better face that fact for your own good and the sooner the better!!! He is pure evil!!! Betrayed is own people to the Nazis when he was just a teenager and has only gotter more evil since!!! That is also a fact!!! Look it up!!! Youre 100% correct, but some people dont want to know the truth if its unpleasant. Ive kept up with all this for several years now, and its a fact. Larry just because wikkileaks has shed light on the democrats and how they really think and strategize does not mean the same thinking and strategizing is not being done on the other side that would be very disengenuous. Politics is one of the meanist and dirtiest businesses in the world. Why after these elections do you think that when the dust settels all seems to be forgiven as if nothing happened. Trump is already connecting with the republicans that did not back him Ryan in particular, these are the very same politicians Trump stated need to be drained from the swamp. Republican behind the scens players like the Koch Brothers and thier ALEC foundation shape more of our legislation than any other group. ALEC actually writes legislation that is submitted by our elected officials and ALEC is 100% funded by corporations so guess who this legislation usually benifits. Not all is forgiven!!! look at Chris Christie!!! And the right to protest is protected by the Bill of Rights, one of the most sacred sections of the Constitution!!! Why do you think they have never been able to stop free speech, free press, right to own guns, etc.!!! The Bill of Rights is considered untouchable!!! Oh and I did not get my initial info on George Soros from WikiLeaks!!! I have been a history buff for over 40yrs now!!!! It is my 2nd favorite subject after football!!! No I am an American Veteran who has done his research!!! Try looking up George Soros and do YOUR research before you make a total fool of yourself!!! Then I suggest you look up the Koch brothers and ALEC as well. Obama and marshall law is a dead meme, wasnt Obama suppose to declare marshall law/sharia law because we all know he is a muslim and member of ISIS to remain president and or also write an executive order that would allow him to run for a third term. Executive did not happen and Marshall Law Not Happening !!!!! I also dont know why people like you always resort to insults when you rant. Excuse me but did you or did you not call me a Russian troll??? And I was not ranting, I was stating what I believe!!! And as for no martial law, Jan 20 has not got here yet so dont count your chickens yet!!! Oh and Priebus will not be his chief of staff just so you know!!! His son in law will be!!! And as for my brain injury, that is not what part of my brain was affected so dont try to diagnose me!!! I still have an IQ of 141!!!! Larry I checked back on my comment and I asked if you were a Russian troll. Also Priebus was announced as Trumps Chief of Staff and Bannon as his Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor. Excuse me they wants TRUMP to step down or else, trouble will come if they do not put killary as leader. What does that tells you, me I prefer to shoot those LIBTURDS. GOD BLESS TRUMP GOD BLESS USA Hillary also said in that same speech that they shouldnt give up the struggle and that they should continue to make your voices heard. So I credit her with instigating the riots. And while it is stupid to pick a fistfight with an armed man, anti-gun is merely an agenda item to make serious resistance impossible. Many of those commies have guns, but they expect to be on the enforcement side after their revolution, not on the losing side. So keep your guns ready within reach, your blades sharp, your blunt trauma weapons handy. These Azz-hats will work them selves into a killing frenzy readily. I used to know a lot of them at school. I thought thats what she was inferring at the time she said that. Hello, I dont seem to remember Republicans rioting when we lost the past two Presidential elections to the Communists (OOPS, I meant to type Liberals). When I watch the videos of the Communists (OOPS, there I did it again,I meant to type Liberals) rioting, it makes my heart warm and fuzzy. While theyre all in one place, maybe thats where we should build a wall (around them). Or, SWAT teams could transport them to a nice prison where they could be trained to behave. Peaceful demonstrations are permitted, even encouraged, by the Constitution. However, what these goons are doing is not a peaceful demonstration. A peaceful transition of power from one administration to the next is what the USA is all about. Just My Thoughts, We could fill up some of fhose FEMA camps. While they are all close together like that we could just blast them with drones!!! It would save a LOT of money in the long run!!! Has anyone seen any of the videos of those UN tanks and heavy equipment being shipped in open boxcars across the US? I have!!! The UN has been here for a while now!!! They are Obamas ace-in-the-hole if he declares martial law!!! Which I seriously think he is about to do if we cant stop these riots fast!!! Correct ! They are not riots. Burning, looting, vandalism, and violence equals riots no matter how you slice it!!! Are you kidding this is exactly what obozo wants to see. The more violence the easier it will be for him to declare martial law.(DONT FOR A MINUTE THINK HE WONT). I think every governor of every state where there is violence, should call up the National Guard and along with law enforcement SQUASH these protests right friggin now by whatever means necessary. Most are paid agitators and the idiots who are stupid or gullible enough to follow them need to be taught a valuable lesson. This is all demoSCUM BS !!!!!!! There exists a large number of communists and a much larger number of socialists within the democrat party. Lets not forget there remains an even larger number of democrats that are also patriots and also love liberty. We must appeal to the latter for understanding rather than rebuke them all. Dont throw out the baby with the bathwater. As a 75 year old progressive democrat I say no way after eight years of opposition now you Trumpets want to work together. No justice No Peace! How many republican presidents stood by saying very little or nothing while rioting took place? Wanna war? No? I didnt think so. Neither do I, so stop urging the vandalism and looting. One America. One nation. One president. Screw u libtard Not helpful to a reasonable discussion, sir. Take names and addresses WELL WHEN THEY COME TO MY HOME OR BUSINESS, Being they dont know what double ought buck is they better look it up, because I will not stand for there vandalism, or should I say terrorism. there is a law written in the late 1800s that call these people night riders.. You can look it up. they will be shot. the video with the fat oinking pig calling for people to die,she should set an example and do herself to show how its done!! What people DO and not what they say is the measure. Wikileaks tells us there are enemies of America both foreign and domestic. I think people should really re-read those leaks to understand whats going down. imho. Trump despises the system and is bent on wrecking it!!! He WILL make serious changes that should ease your mind!!! Why do you think even the republicans are scared of him??? They are part of the system too!!! And they are afraid he is going to take away their meal ticket!!! I voted for him for one reason: he is not a politician!!! I am sick of the status quo and he is definitely not that!!! Be patient!!! He hasnt even took office yet and you are already condemning him!!! You are almost as bad as the protestors in that you are not giving him a chance before pronouncing your negativity!!! He has never held public office so you have nothing whatsoever to base your opinion on!!!! Just give the man a chance before passing judgement!!! To protest is okay but smashing windshields, looting, destroying property, shooting people is NOT! What I am seeing is young, spoiled millennials, who have never had to work for a thing or strive for success, enraged because they didnt get their way. Well, wahwahwah. Theyre not going to get their free education, food, housing, none of the handouts that Bernie and Hill promised. That is what is sinking our country. As as for the Hildebeast winning the popular vote, Im not buying it. How many busloads were transported from precinct to precinct, how many illegals voted (with Obummers encouragement), how many dead people voted? Donald had it right, it was a rigged election and he STILL prevailed. I would say to these brats to let the smoke from the election clear and give President-Elect Trump and Vice President-Elect Pence a chance! They might be pleasantly surprised. Oh, and one other thing: The Hildebeast is blaming James Comey for her losing the election. What bunk! He didnt set up and use a private email server, she set herself up and is just pissed that she got caught. Had it never come to light, she would have done the same thing in the Oval Office, in addition to putting it up for sale just like she did the State Department! Most of the rioters are scumbags. The left wing of our society is getting away with disgraceful anti American riots because people like George Soros has the blessings of Hillary. Why would Obama or Hillary say anything to stop this?? It was part of their agenda to take over the country no matter what the vote outcome!! If Hillary had won, they would have just taken over! With Trump winning, they can count on the dumb ones to respond to their paid riot instigators! Uniting the Country is just one more huge lie from both Obama and Clinton!! The dont want the country united!! Why? The Ultimate Power Grabmartial Law!! These people are so ignorant and fearful, they are simply pawns in the chess game!! As Christ saidthey know not what they do!! By the time the game is played out, and weve all lost our country and our freedomit will be far too late to sayOOPS, Im sorry! I didnt know!! Tough cookies!! Your stupid neg ego took over and neg ego always destroys!! when will they realize its to late for their actions to matter. In 1865 congress passed the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery with 100% republican vote and only 23% democrat vote. *** WARNING *** Hillary Clinton gave a call-to-protest in her so-called concession speech. Did you notice? Recall her odd statement instructing all the volunteers even in secret private Facebook sites I want everybody coming out from behind that and make sure your voices are heard going forward. These were not spontaneous protests these were planned and paid for. Their plan is to steal the election using the Electoral College. They will keep the protests up to Dec 19 to convince 38 electors to go rogue and be faithless electors in the Dec 19 vote giving Hillary 270 and Trump 268. If the electors go against the law, it is only a $1000 fine. They could do this. Soros would gladly bribe each of the 38 with $10 Million. Thats only $380M, a pittance compared to what they have invested so far. Hillary is desperate and they will fight to the death. This is no time to be complacent and be distracted by the whinerama. Trump must take some action to prevent this happening. Hillary must be disqualified before Dec 19. She must be impeached re the Clinton Foundation or something serious. The protests are not just dumb temper tantrums. Their purpose is to create a violent atmosphere so that the electors can justify being faithless electors for the good of the country. and hand the Presidency to Hillary on Dec 19. We need to take steps right away to prevent this. Any ideas? Members of the electoral college must be addressed by congress, specifically the leader of the House and Senate reminding them of the number of Republican Representatives recently elected in both houses as also reflecting the will of the people. Not sure what you mean by addressed by Congress (?) Uncertain as to the precise manner, however, some sort of conference/meeting to state the case of not reversing what currently is understood as the voting process. The electorial college was intended to correct such error as a HUGELY popular vote being offset by other means and/or a decidedly inappropriate voting system (stuffed ballot boxes). Neither of which is the case today. I cant find any reliable totals but they are saying Hillary won the popular vote by 600,000. I believe it was in reality a landslide for Trump in the face of massive voter fraud, but that is not what will be reported. Hillary is claiming Trump cheated and blaming Comeys letter re-opening the investigation for robbing her of her win. She is using the bogus polls as proof that Trump cheated.The MSM will make a big case to back up this position. Even though we know it is BS, it will sound reasonable in the headlines to explain re-assigning 38 electoral votes to Hillary. They will all be paid off, including congress, to go along because that is what they want too. Remember Julian Assange said they will not allow Trump to win. I am really afraid they can pull this off. They would think nothing of assassinating Trump Pence just to make sure. We can only wait and see what happens. Dont worry too much. 90% of what I worried about in my youth never came to pass. I seriously doubt this will work for Hillary, but, its all shes got at this point, so she continues to try until the fat lady sings in Janurary 17. I sure hope you are right. But Id feel much better if Hillary were disqualified just to help me sleep nights. Not unless Loretta Lynch is replaced will any charges be made by the DOJ. As we have seen, politicians dont care about the will of the people. The GOP didnt even support Trump. If you look at the vote maps, the only places that voted for Hillary were the big cites and DC (92%) which makes me think that the Dem governors probably padded the votes. It is a far-reaching crime family that wants to hold its power. And the vote totals were very close in many counties, so there must be a lot of people whose will goes to Hillary. I just am afraid that if we sit on our laurels, they will blind-side us and it will be too late. It is all up to the Electoral College and if just 38 people get bought off (Bill Clinton is one of the electors!), the constitutionally-supported decision of the faithless electors will decide our fate and the most corrupt candidate ever will be crowned. The butt hurt DNC and the progressive liberal cretins will never accept the fact they nominated the most flawed candidate EVER. This BIOTCH has more luggage than a 747. Now the progressive liberal morons in the streets are carrying on and crying like four year olds that just sh-t their panties on the play ground. Their ignorance is evident when one considers they are protesting, rioting, looting, destroying, and burning in the cities that were heavily in the Clinton corner. They are punishing their own, how truly ignorant can these people be? Look at how our Government ALLOWED the Police to violently attack the North Dakota Indians during their PEACEFUL PRAYER. This PROVES who is in charge and what they allow. Look at the destruction from the riots against Trump and yet the cops dont shoot off one rubber bullet, or spray them, or anything. Soros is fueling the fires of protest, why would any of them try to stop it? They are part of the process, divide and conquer, turn us against each other, enslave humanity. Next will be the controlled demolition of the economy, and bringing in the new world order. Soros and all of the other billionaire globalist maggots, and their enablers, need to be arrested for Crimes against Humanity and Nature. They should absolutely come out and condemn this display and reprimand the violence and damage being done to other peoples livelihoods . It shows me that they are content to let it happen and that should say loud and clear who they really care about. The officers, board members and major donators of any organization that supports the civil disobedience must be legally served that they are responsible for all damages, injuries and clean-up costs that these instigators and supporters may have been able to prevent. I had to put up with the agonizing years of Clinton, Bush and Obama while they looted the country, even the White Hiuse, killed our people to get into illegal wars, droned, punished Whistleblowers and destroyed the rule of law. The media, Justice System and basic respect for our country has been compromised. Yes, both narcissists, the alias, Barack H. Obama and his female mimicker, Hitlary Clinton, could lessen the terror created by their followers. However, both narcissists enjoy the power of the destruction that is exercised by their followers. They support ISIS-ISIL, Judaisms hate for Goyim and Bushs New World Order. Since Oprah told em all 2008, this is the one, she may have very well called in Obama as forerunner for the AC, now beginning to think Soros is the actual AC Stupidity, is Stupidity, is Stupidity . . . theres No Gray Area. Of course they COULD do something . . . but they Wont. . . they just want to keep the HATE going, for as long as it lasts, simply to make things as DIFFICULT as possible. Never Confuse them, with the TRUTH !. Disgusting trio. Dont wait for Obama to say anything because he wont. He comes out in defense of We now see the true colors of the modern Democrat Partys leaders Marxist revolutionaries who mouth the phrase Peaceful transfer of Power, but then fall silent to encourage continuation of the violence. And Soros money WILL continue it these are what Marx called useful idiots. Eventually, they will either run out of steam, or be forcibly stopped by the real Americans and the longer this lasts, the harder it will be for them to regain any political credibility in this country. HELLO!!!! Obama and Clinton Will NOT ask the protesters to stop On channel surfing with the TV I happened on PBS, the Democrat channel, in some conversation on politics where this gentleman was talking about the Progressive Democrats getting their doctrine out to the people so that the next time around they will have gotten they clear message. Not those exact words but that was the gist of the conversation. Seems to me their message was pretty clear this time around and The People Rejected it. Liberalism is not Liberal, it is a most bigoted way of thinking, it allows for No Free Thought but only Dictation as to how one Must Think. Sorry folks if you decide you are tough give it a try and see how many body bags we can fill. We the people are believers in the 2nd. amendment and many carry plus most exmilitary trained people are on our side. So much for that kumbaya moment. Do people really watch CNN? Why should Obama,Hillary and Sanders stop it. They are the ones who caused it. By taking money from George Soros. It is probably their people that are instigating all of the protests and destruction. Anyone expecting Obama , Hillary, or Bernie, to speak up to try and quell the riots is as stupid as the liberal cry baby rioters themselves. They are the ones that spurned the riots to start with by brainwashing these idiots with their insane socialist ideology. I blame Hillary , Bernie and Obama for not saying something to these kids that are rioting. Its their responsible to say something. Any one getting hurt or killed because of these kids rioting is not only the kids fault which they should be arrested but Hillarys . Bernies and Obamas. I will also include the singers and actors that are telling them to riot. If you notice Hillary . Bernie and Obama and the elites are all in their gaurded homes. As far as people making threats towards Trump these people need to be found and punished. Facebook and twitter has a responsible to shut these peoples accounts down. Freedom of speech is one thing but damage to peoples property , threats and people getting hurt is not freedom of speech but terrorism. worthless people weaned on food stamps and false promises,under the democratic party! Time to lock n load! Ant Trump, Anti-American, Anti-Gunners! You lost already, now suck it up! CRY baby liberals suk! Dont forget your free one way ticket out of this country! I am just loving it! DYNOMITE! OBEEMER, HITLERY. AND GRANDPA SANDDERES, are united to try and destroy the USA. PRAY FOR TRUMP AND AMERICA. YOU PEOPLE ARE F. A HOLES Who? THE SPICK IN THE VIDEO SPICK, GO BACK TO MEXICO YOU FAT HOG IF YOU DOT SUPPORT TRUMP THEN YOU DONT SUPPORT THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION FOR WICH IT STANDS! TRUMP NEEDS TO SHIPEX YOU ALL OUT OF HERE WITH THE ILLEGAL CRIMINALS AND UNDER THE RADAR-RADICAL MUSLIMS! GET OUT AND STAY OUT! AMERICA THE GREAT! I bet they are, I blame them for the way they have lied to and manipulated the population for their own ends. Too bad so many of these people fell for it. How sad, this tells you just how much these people really care, to not speak out concerning the riots is to say they are encouraging such acts!! Thank God Hillary and Obamas legacy is over! But, one thing never fails is prayer!!! It still works wonders!!!! How many of us Independents and Republicans thought Obama was their President, Clinton their Secretary of State or Sanders representative of themNONE! Instead we put up with 8 years of devisiveness, racial tension, fomentation of violence and no plans for ending wars, balancing a budget or getting anything done and we did it silently in our homes not creating mob chaos on the street. These three have really shown their true colorsselfishness, self centeredness, lack of vision, corrupt and put themselves before the American people! Obama cant leave fast enough and what is his legacydividing and tearing this country apart!!! I havent seen where Trump has spoken out against all the racist hate signs that are popping up everywhere. Because he is smart not to. So I dont know why Its news that Obama, Clinton and Sanders are mum. Seems like a job for Trump to me Not Trumps job yet. Obamas! But we should wait for Trump to be sworn in before the next member of the Supreme Court is appointed. Sorry, that dog dont hunt.. But we have to wait until Trump takes office before appointing the next justice to the Supreme Court. Sorry that dog dont hunt. Thats exactly what they want! Beware of Trojan Horses. D.T. may not be all you believe him to be. Every elected president has made promises he never intended to keep just to get elected. We shall see by and by. True DYNOMITE!!! I JUST LOVE AMERICA. HOW ABOUT YOU. I assume people know that theyre not putting a stop to these riots and destabilization of the USA and are as a result in point of fact encouraging the destruction and a revolution in the USA? NOT acting to protect the nation is indeed an act in and of itself. I suggest very Strong people get off the snowflake silliness and take a look at EXACTLY what is going on here. Hello? If push comes to shove, I am pretty sure, at this point any military intervention will recognize Trump as the Commander in Chief. I will! Sounds good. Lets send Obamachrist packing and Put Trump in as President now! Out with the old and in with the new! Obama said who ever lost he would give them a one-time one-way ticket out of here! This means you Obamachrist! Start packing! OBAMA IS CLOGGING UP THE SWAMP! TIME TO FLUSH IT! omg you post are making me rolllove them To understand what is happening on college campuses today, we have to look back to the 60s and 70s when Americas young people split into two factions completely at odds with each other in philosophies. There were the traditionalists. We assumed that the hippies had faded away. But, they hadnt. Maybe, they were right, We WERE stupid. But, worse than that. And, we wonder why our grandchildren are so irresponsible and devoid of understanding of economics or traditional values. FLUSH THE OBAMA TURD DOWN THE DRAINO! USE A TRUMP PLUNGER ANTI TRUMP ZOMBIES ARE POPPING UP EVERYWHERE! Keep up the violence, youre ensuring Trump will win a second term as well. Right on man! ANTI TRUMP ZOMBIES GO AWAY! FAR AWAY! Like across the ocean away WHAT WILL WE DO WITH ALL THESE ANTI -TRUMP ZOMBIES? ANY IDEAS? WATCHING WALKING DEAD I GOT A FEW IDEAS! ANTI TRUMP ZOMBIES ARE BRAINWASHED AND BRAIN-DEAD! Obamachrist and Hilldabeast created all these Anti TRUMP ZOMBIES! Now tell them to go home, please. TRUMP ZOMBIES, HOLLOWEEN IS OVER, YOUR SCARING THE KIDS! Call in the Zombie Squad! TRUMP ZOMBIES CONTAGIOUS AND NEED TO BE QUARANTINED! What a bias article full of hate as well, Trump is Obviously NOT an American! Go back to whatever shithole you came from! HiLIARy AND Barack had BETTER put a stop to this crap! If the people have to do it, it WILL be bloody, messy, and VERY SHORT and EXTREMELY VIOLENT! Ive about had it with these un-AMERICAN pukes and I suspect a LOT OF OTHER Patriotic Americans feel the same way. I say start with eggs! If that doesnt stop the crap, then bullets are the only option! Put a bounty on rioters heads DEAD OR ALIVE and watch how quickly the crap STOPS! You say protesters, but come to my neighborhood and youre just down range targets bring it. What are you talking about.are you kidding me. At least 2 of the above mentioned persons along with Soros are the organizers of these riots. Soros admits being behind the refugee deluge in Europe and his intention was to be the puppet master of Clinton and do the same to the USA with an open border policty. I am not sure why or what the end game isother than it would ultimately destroy the USA. I do not understand how Soros thinks nor Clinton.nor anyone that calls for open borders. The World is not ready for a borderless society..we are about 500 years away from it even being possible. I suppose the idea is to have a one world government..the problem is the World is in such disarray it is impossible. To be honest I only see a one world government with the return of Christ..it is just not possible otherwise. Why would the Clintons want to destroy the American people in carrying out the diabolical scheme of open borders. There is absolutely no rationalizing with these type of people and CNN and is irresponsible once again to give these rioters any air time what so ever. They are no longer protesting they crossed the line on the first day with destruction of property. Take away the platform that Soros, Sharpton, and Moore has given them and they are no longer relevant. I went back and looked at elections where the democrats won and republicans lost and didnt see ANY of this childish behavior. Trump wants people in this country legally -THAT is the way it was set up. If you are not here legally then you are NOT contributing to the country because you are not paying taxes like the rest of us. That is the law of the land. You go through the same motions other people have gone through to become a citizen. My mom did was not granted citizenship. She had to work for it and was glad to do so. The three off them are to selfish and self centered to think of other people,only care about their own agendas and what benefit theyll get out of it. It just amazes me their behavior and they call themselves leaders. Well Clinton didnt lift a finger to help the Americans in Benghazi so her behavior doesnt suprise me. I believe OBama is enjoying this just goes to show his true colors. Sanders is now a Hillary puppet sad. Their all pretty good with the BS. Of course the right thing to do would be to step up to the plate as the leaders they claim to be because of their love of country and the American people and back up Donald Trump as our new president and call for peace and calm. Dont expect any of them to do such a unselfish act for Americans. AS LONG AS THOSE SNOWFLAKES ARE GETTING PAID TO RIOT, IT WILL NOT STOP. OHOMO COULD TELL RUSSIA TO COME AND GET HIM SINCE THEY HAVE A WARRANT ON THAT CRIMINAL, DEAD OR ALIVE. FOR THE CITIES WHO ALLOW THE DESTRUCTION OF THEIR TOWNS, YOU DESERVE WHAT YOU GET Obama, Clinton, and Sanders Could Stop the Riots But They Just Watch HEY DEMOCRATS, HOW ABOUT US WINNERS!!! REALLY, Crying, sobbing, going hysterical, becoming violent, having protests, then having violent protests. Burning projectiles being thrown at officers,, Mayor Charlie Hales said at a news conference, We had some anarchists who hijacked that event and did terrible damage to our neighbors and friends, They spread violence and fear and detracted from the legitimate exercise of those First Amendment rights, thousands took to the streets of a divided nation, NO, a few about 0001 % of the population, minuscule, all most nothing, professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting, (probably Soros backed trouble makers), WOW OH WOW. How about some adult childish acting tantrums just because youre did not win? Well let me tell you why! In all my life, I have never seen a person that expected to win anything and portrayed the feeling into a mind set of I will win, I am better than anyone else regardless, I am untouchable and can do anything I want! Actually, in the Clinton camp, the ARROGANCE that was shown and felt, had Sec. Clinton poised for a historic win. Not only was she as her whole life has shown, condescending to the point of unprecedented arrogance, being obnoxious, and overlooking the menial rural/country voters by ignoring them but laughed about it. HILLARY was too stupid to understand that her arrogance in her mannerisms and speech presentations forced the great silent majority of Americans from across the country, not your shackled inner city masses, but true, law abiding, church going everyday tax paying, working class people to become fed up with Washingtons graft, corruption, party bias, do for yours and nothing for the American people, to rebel and make their feeling known through their legal corridor, VOTING! Yes, Democrats, HILLARY, did awaken Americas silent majority and Trump galvanized the deplorable base of the disgusted SILENT MAJORITY and they, the deplorable base, THE PEOPLE did indeed trash your democratic party and we can thank HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON for bringing forth the worst in political maneuvering and illegal underhanded personal dealings for greed and Donald TRUMP for bringing it all out in the open for America to see. HILLARY couldnt even win when she was given the questions in advance by the DNC. Thats why she lost and your party suffered because you grew apart from the American people. PEOPLE MATTER and you all forgot you work for EVERYDAY MAN AND WOMAN AS THEIR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE. YOU CAN BE VOTED OUT AND YOUR KIND WAS! Clinton suffered one of the most stunning political defeats in history Of course they are silent..if it gets worse Oa will declare martial law, end of game for how long? now is time for conservative and related types arm up in case the losing side presses forward with their ill advised revolt. This is all on Soros,Hillary, and O,this was planned to happen just this way.With O and Hillary stating good wishes this was getting under way.All of these are paid for this purpose and were flown or bussed to each site.The NWO people are mad,mad,they want to keep this going to see if we give in.I expect Trump to hold firm,not give an inch,then tell them they will all go to prison.This passed being peaceful when fires were started and some were shot. Not only should the Dems be toning down these riots, Oblunders just-us dept could easily discover who booked all those buses carrying the protestors to their points of riot in the various cities. Supposedly Geo Soros is behind it; if so indict him or whomever is doing this on multiple counts of inciting a riot. Three days is the usual period for mourning. Our inept leaders are pretending nothing is remotely amiss. Hillary insisted she had the temperament to handle crisis situations while Trump did not. So, how did she handle losing the election? She did not have the leadership or courage to face her supporters. She sent Podesta to address the crowd. Unable to think for themselves, her minions could not recognize her total disrespect for them. Minions dont matter to Hillary. Obama will never act to restrain the rioters. They are his heroes. Remember he praised the Occupy Wall Street criminals They are behind them why would they Stop them?? When they get to Qatar I want Bill to sell her for 4 cows to an Islamist who forces her to wear a burqa and shut her mouth and do the womens work. She could work for Trump who has slave labor from Pakistan, whose passports are confiscated so they cannot leave. Why would anybody support someone you dont want?? I cant imagine college students are so immature, perhaps they need to stay home w/Mommy for a few more years before they try going out into the real world. WAH! Progressives and Communists love disorder and riots. Suicide is a valid form of protest, jus sayin Reading this article curdles my blood! Obama continues to act like a spoiled little brat, and since he is so concerned about his legacy, might I suggest to him that his legacy is DONALD TRUMP! But the purple that the traitors wore at their concession speech said something else completely different. george soros is still in control of them. Soros is busing in his goons that he is paying $.35.- an Hr. than non payees fallows , and that is how he start the crowds, He knows he only got 80.+ days left, and TRUMP is not going to be his puppet like NObummer, and Killary. Soros is a wanted man in many countries, and a Criminal in this country. Sure TRUMP figure out what to do with that SOB. Obumbling Idiot, Crooked Hilliary, and Beach House Bernie Could Ameliorate the Riots, Subsidized by Felony This is what REAL trash looks like. She cant take it that she lost. Obama cant take it that she lost even with his BS help and our tax payers money. Bernie cant take it because he already lost to her so they want the DEMS out in the country to make things worse on the legal people of our country. The DEMS are getting PAID by SOROS and his money. Maybe this way they can get Obama to play his Martial Law plan. If that happens there will be a civil war and Obama and Hillary and Bernie will loose. I do NOT think OUR military people will shoot there own people as they have famlies and who is going to protect them when the shooting starts. For that matter WHO is going to protect Obama, Hillary and Bernie?? 3 against a whole country?? A civil war over these 3 people?? I can see those 3 being tqaken out so there woould be peace in the land. One civil war is enough and to have one over a election?? Come on you MUST be kidding. The elephant in the room is the reality we are limited to just two political parties as optionstwo wings of the same bird. And this is exactly why Trump won. Americans are sick to death of the gutless who no longer know what it is to be an American. Sanders, Clinton, Obama instead of being stand-up people and telling those crybaby losers to suck it up and stop embarrassing America are instead very likely sitting around with a silly smirk on their faces enjoying the bad behavior. Shows precisely why Clinton was voted out and Obama is one of the most hated men in the nation. Time to lock the bustards up its called TREASON and SEDITION conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state. I was hoping he would say something at the press conference today but nothing! I think he is enjoying all the chaos. Very sad and disappointed. Barack Obama is truly sad. Good Riddance to Obama, and thank god Hillary Clinton is not the one replacing him. IMO most of these rabble rousers are PAID PROFESSIONAL rioters hired by non other than George Soros. Id bet he is behind the financing of these idiots. Who paid for the bussing of these people? Have they crossed state lines to incite a riot? That would be illegal. An investigation should be forthcoming. If none is then my guess is this administration is in support of their blatant disregard for our laws. Peaceful protest is one thing, destruction of property or lives is another. If they break the law they should be willing to pay the price. There is no reason for these protests Trump isnt president and hes powerless to do anything at this point. Obama, Hillary, and Sanders should tell these goons to go home and give Trump a chance. So let me get this right, George Soros was able to hire thousands of protesters in multiple cities to protest Donald Trump without any of it leaking to the media or law enforcement.riiiiight! Trump is president-elect. Leadership does come from ones authority Leadership is convincing people to actHe doesnt have to be president to lead. the USA is completely WITHOUT a leader. Their politicians are immoral and unethical to the core.(except a few) Correct me if Im wrong, wasnt Trump and the right wing advocating the same thing if he lost? You are completely wrong, and what is worse, you have zero comprehension of that. No need for correction, you are not wrong Where is President-Elect Trump. Where are his words trying to bring unity? Where are his words to calm the fears of those protesting. Where are his words to those that are committing hate crimes in his name (and that little thing on 60min stop it hardly counts). Trump says he can be presidential, here is his first opportunity and so far it doesnt look good. This is a situation that Trump caused with his words and he needs to attempt to fix with his words. Who is currently President of the United States? Obama is president. The question is, why is this his responsibility? He doesnt have to live with this for the next 4 years. Trump and the Republicans tried everything in the book to ruin his presidency. Trump claims to be the great uniter. He said it himself I alone can fix it. Well here is his chance.FIX IT!!!!! Protest and picket all you like infants, but when you become destructive and violent and try to take it to the suburbs and rural areas you will meet formidable opposition and fully experience what Stand Your Ground means. News Flash she did not win the popular votenow what???!!! Trump incited this, he and his campaign Let him fix it! Obama stopped his own supporters in the campaign trail and told them to stop booing and respect the opponent. Clinton very eloquently told her supporters to give Trump a chance to lead. What more do you want? Trump will not because this is his term. hog-wash. pure garbage. Ultimately, somebody will have to take the blows. Some minority has to be on the lookout for the weak minds will soon drop all restraints for the primitive to surface. The standing President of the United States, the weak, feckless Barack Obama must address the Nation. However, Obama wont because he is not a leader. Nor are Hillary and Bernie. We have a leader and someone who can make this country great again in President-elect Donald Trump. Isnt this Trumps problem? Wow, are you an ignoramus. An awful lot of blame goes to the Alien-Owned Mainstream Media for being so one-sided in their lying reporting and false stories about Donald Trump and their corruptness in giving questions to Clinton before debates etc.. So both cheated for the Highest office in the land. They vilified Donald Trump with false reports and quotes trying their hardest to discredit him while making Clinton look like a Saint when she is totally corrupt and lies all the time, sold out our secrets, etc And the MSM is still sticking it to Donald Trump with their false narratives and fueling all these protests and then not showing the physical suffering by suspected Trump supporters. They wont, because they are insurrectionists. I said it before and I will say it agin, Clinton, Obama, and their ilk are nothing but scum. I have to agree: Sanders called for vigilance, a clear case of treason. He is parroting the words of an early traitor: Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty. Thomas Paine: The American Crisis, No. 4,1777. . No they cant Oh for crying out loud, they are exercising their first amendment rights. They vandalized the property of their enemy not their allies. The damage was specific and planned in advance not random, was done without a fee, and was designed to pick a fight with a bully. Are you seriously equating this rabble to our founding fathers? Get a job. This is Loss Prevention. This is Communism and anarchy all happening before our eyes. Obama spoke of this yesterday in Greece. The mindless sheep are falling in with any words their herder says. Hes just one, the funds are coming from all over including Soros. Pre-planned events, which have been happening the last few years anyway as we all know. No one shows up at a border as a child from deep in South and Central America as the Herder said and the sheep agreed, similarly groups of 1000+ paid protesters dont miraculously show up at these anarchy events. WELCOME TO OBAMAS NEW JOB. THE SOCIALIST WILL ALWAYS WANT POWER ONCE HE TASTES IT. THE DEMOCRATS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SPILLED BLOOD. make a line for your daily spankings And Obama and Clinton Sanders they say nothing they are horrible people in these kids in the street protesting dont have a clue what theyre doing. Are not good listeners if they were they would have no concern with President Trump abilities. I think theyre just worried that theyre not going to get their drugs and heroin into this country when he puts up the wall. They need not get so upset theres a very simple solution if you dont like it simply move thats all whats the big deal just go Killary, Obama and Sanders are all hypocrites and they are responsible for all this. Obama has spread so much hate in this country it makes me ill. Dont any of these people have jobs to go to? most likely not all free loaders tax payers are supporting that are illegals. they all need to be shipped back and apply and come in here the right way. Trump elected so just deal with it. You are all a bunch of spoiled brats who have not had to work for a dam thing and have that you owe me attitude. You are OWED NOTHING. you need to respect the outcome of the election and move on. Life is full of disappointments deal with it. They are all 3 sore losers who give a damm about this country These are protests. Not riots. we have gone from a nation of HOPE and CHANGE to riots in the streets in just eight short years..how did this happen? I thought our nation had turned the corner and everyones lives, now filled with this new HOPE, had CHANGEd for the better. Am I wrong?????? 
3	Jon Stewart: Obama, Kerry Bumble-F*cking Their Way In and Out of SyriaYoutube 
1	By a 6-1 decision Monday, the New Jersey Supreme Court overturned the murder conviction of Secaucus auto mechanic Joseph Delavecchia, ruling that the bastard he deep-sixed had it coming. 'Why would you try something like that with another man's wife?' wrote Judge Frank Mancuso in his majority opinion. 'I tell ya, [dead bastard] Vince[nt Pitti] got off lucky, getting knocked off so quick. I seen guys get a lot worse than two slugs to the gut for the kind of stunt he pulled.' The bastard's family has vowed to appeal the decision, saying they are prepared to take it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary, pally. 
1	Gary Pavlik, an assistant librarian at the public library in Vida, the seat of Lewanaho County, is way too into local county history, sources reported Monday. Gary Pavlik stands next to the Peck Cabin, one of Lewanaho County's many notable historical sites. 'Up until about 1890, Lewanaho County was famed across north-central Wisconsin for its sugar-beet production,' said Pavlik, 37, the county's unofficial historian. 'But two factors put an end to its predominance: a blight which wiped out much of the beet crop in 1891 and 1893, and a growing interest in cranberry farming, which was ideal for Lewanaho County's vast tracts of marshy land. Incidentally, I should mention that the blight was bacterial in origin, and not a fungus, as some of the old-timers in our community would have you believe.' Vida resident Eleanor Sloane, 66, who has known Pavlik since he was a boy, said he has always had a passion for Lewanaho County history. 'At first, I thought Gary's hobby was a positive thing, since girls didn't seem much interested in him and he needed something to occupy his time,' Sloane said. 'And it still is positive, in many respects. But numbering and cataloguing each plank of wood in the Swilley's Creek covered bridge off Highway PD, and then determining which sawmill each plank came from? That's just sad.' Said Pavlik: 'An interesting thing to note about the covered bridge at Swilley's Creek is that it was built by a construction company that was once owned by the third cousin once-removed of the great-grandfather ofyou guessed itEleanor Sloane. I should also mention that at the time the bridge was built, 1892, the cousin, Ekvind Solberg, had sold his company to Alfred F. Griebel, who would later become county supervisor. Upon its sale, Ekvind joined his brother Anders to manage his grain elevator in nearby Plovis, which did a modestly successful business before eventually shutting down in the early 1960s.' Pavlik's latest project is studying the life and work of Leopold Berlot, Lewanaho County's first Belgian and the inventor of an early prototype of the modern bicycle, a five-wheeled, hand-pedaled contraption called the 'pentacopede.' 'Sadly, Berlot's invention failed to catch on among the general public, and he soon returned to farming,' said Pavlik, who has tracked down and interviewed more than two dozen descendants of Berlot. 'Holder of some 30-odd patents, good old Leopold was one of the more colorful characters in Lewanaho County history, that's for certain.' Pavlik is also an avid preservationist, having saved over 75 volumes of court dockets, some dating back as far as the 1870s, from the Lewanaho County Courthouse upon discovering that they were earmarked for incineration. He subsequently donated the dockets to the Lewanaho County Historical Society. 'We were touched by Gary's generosity, but, unfortunately, we really didn't have a place for them,' said Catherine Ernst, director of the Lewanaho County Historical Society. 'We've been hard-pressed for space lately, and Gary's donation of 77 thick, oversized leather-bound ledgers only complicated matters.' Pavlik said citizens of Lewanaho County 'can rest well' knowing that he is hard at work preserving their rich heritage. 'It's astonishing how many notable things have taken place right here in our own county over the years,' Pavlik said. 'The best part is, there's always something new to learn.' 'Gary knows everything about us,' Vida resident Dick Switzer said. 'Where and when we were born, what we did for a living, who we married, how many children we had. It's really pretty creepy.' Pavlik's latest book, the 968-page A Short History Of Lewanaho County, Wisconsin, published by Pavlik Press, is available at the Lewanaho County Historical Society and nowhere else. 
2	Whoopi Tried To Attack KellyAnne Conway, Immediately Gets Met Horrible Humiliation [VIDEO] This week, Trumps campaign manager Kellyanne Conway returned to The View. What started as a simple conversation quickly escalated into a heated argument. Conway began by discussing that ABC and Washington Post polls are now showing Trump taking the lead. Hillary Clinton got a little too comfortable, was waiting out her lead. Now, were forcing her back in Michigana state which hasnt gone Republican since 1988, Conway began. Time Kaine yesterday was in Wisconsin, a state that hasnt gone Republican since 1984. And were loving the ABC News poll! It is our favorite poll. Whoopi Goldberg was quick to lash out. She reminded Conway that Trump once claimed the polls were rigged against him. Everything was crooked, and now hes doing better because theyre neck and neck. Im just wondering, will it be crooked if he slips back down in the polls? He told me to tell you that hell be on your show as soon as hes elected, Conway responded. I dont care if he ever comes on this show, Whoopi snapped back. Hes been very nasty about people I care about. 
2	Al Sharptons Race War Organization Threatens Kid Rock With THIS, But He Is Refusing To Back Down Well, once again, Al Sharptons National Action Network (NAN) has proven itself to be completely irrational and over-the-top in their accusations of racism. According to repots, the Michigan chapter of NAN just demanded that musicians Kid Rock denounce the Confederate flag or his name will be removed from the Detroit Historical Museum. Kid Rock came out of Detroit with a sound that was influenced by both rock music and Southern culture, and hes continued to represent his heritage by waving the Confederate flag at concerts and touting it in his personal life. Although it is unknown whether he has had any type of display lately, NAN Michigan Chapter President Rev. Charles Williams II has called Kid the hometown hero who is a zero with the Confederate flag. Williams even went so far as to host a demonstration outside of the museum with NAN. Everybody knows where I stand and what Im about, Kid Rock told the Detroit Free Press. Its not about hatred or being a racist. I like Southern rock music, and a lot of people died under that flag for beliefs they had, right or wrong. But it stands for rebel, and my love of Southern rock. What do you think of Kid Rocks response? Is NAN absolutely absurd for going after him? 
3	Wall Street Journal Reporter Found Dead After Controversial OPEC InvestigationJohn Vibes According to police, Bird was found in the Passaic River between Somerset and Morris counties, in an area where he frequently took walks. After all this time, two men were recently canoeing in that part of the river when they came across a red jacket and called police. Just before his disappearance, Bird was investigating a supply imbalance in the oil industry, and was reporting in a way that was extremely controversial and possibly threatening to elements within that industry. NBC reported that the family believes that his coverage of OPEC may be related to his disappearance. On October 21, two months before his disappearance, Bird wrote that, U.S. crude-oil futures Monday settled 1.6% lower, dropping to less than $100 a barrel for the first time since July on rising inventories and weak refiner demand. Prices dropped as the Energy Information Administration [EIA] reported U.S. crude-oil stocks rose for a fourth straight week, to the highest level since late JuneThe sluggish demand from refiners allows crude stocks to climb four-million barrels in the week ended Oct. 11, the EIA said in a report that was delayed from last week due to the government shutdown. That is the latest piece of a four-week build of 18.9 million barrels in stocks that has put pressure on prices, as refiners have lowered crude-oil processing runs by 1.26 million barrels a day since mid September It was also reported that Bird had recently received a liver transplant just before his disappearance. David Bird was a longstanding and valued member of the Dow Jones newsroom, and we are deeply saddened to learn today of his death. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends, Gerard Baker, editor in chief of The Wall Street Journal, said in a statement. Click hereto watch a video regarding this case.

1	In October, Fermilab scientists joined a growing number of physicists around the world in warning that the Very Large Earth Collidera $117 billion electromagnetic particle accelerator built to study astronomical phenomena by colliding Earth into various heavenly bodiescould potentially destroy Earth when it sends the planet careening headlong into Mars, Jupiter, or even the sun. 'The Large Earth Collider will surely gain us priceless scientific insight by offering a brief glimpse of the universe at the moment of its destruction,' Fermilab director Gordon Josephs said. 'But because the Collider achieves this by hurling the Earth into another large celestial object, there are some who feel the risks associated with annihilating our world are too high. All I know for certain is that this rigorous debate will only end when we activate the VLEC, make the Earth collide with another planet, and obtain results through firsthand observation.' 'That's just good science,' Josephs added. Physicists at CERN and Brookhaven National Laboratory, who underwrote the VLEC's construction with donations from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, agree that there are 'some troubling variables' whenever attempting to launch Earth through the vacuum of space into a massive body of solid matter. Yet, they insist, the academic benefits of a planetary collision outweigh any risk of annihilating the Earth. 'When we boil the oceans, tear the tectonic plates from the globe, and peel back the layers of the Earth to expose its molten core, we'll be seeing firsthand what end-times researchers have only theorized about,' said Greg Giddings, a planetologist at the University of Michigan. 'It might be worth the chancewhich, if you ask me, is very smallof destroying the Earth in the process just to see that.' 'There will always be Chicken Little types,' theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku said. 'When the first nuclear reaction was achieved, there were those who said its very existence made it a weapon of unspeakable power, and there is evidence they may have been right. It's probably worth asking if the Very Large Earth Collider may in fact pose some minute danger to the Earth.' While the project remains controversial, physicists agreed in late November to reconvene and evaluate the risk factor of the project after a small-scale field test, during which the Very Large Earth Collider will be turned on at 10 percent capacity, catapulting Earth into the moon at only half the speed of light. 
3	GMOs: What Do the Stars Say Astrologically?Catherine J. Frompovich Even though being somewhat esoterically inclined, the feature article by Eric Francis Coppolino was a little more than this writer expected. Coppolino, an astrologer, delved deeply into the history of both Monsanto and its founder, John Francis Queeny, in addition to supplying astrological charts for both, which were delineated, cross-referenced to Monsanto history, and from which prognostications also were offered. According to Coppolinos exceptional eight-page article, Monsanto was founded November 29, 1901 in Jefferson City, Missouri. Queeny, who worked for a pharmaceutical company by day, invested $1,500 of his own money and borrowed $3,500 from another company. Monsanto found its way to becoming a behemoth due to Queenys perceptive abilities and, in particular, being able to produce a good quality artificial sweetener along with Monsantos early alliance with the Coca-Cola Company supplying soft drink ingredients, e.g., saccharin, Vanillin, and caffeine. In 1935 Monsanto purchased the Swan Chemical Company, which made PCBs, and the rest is history, one could say. Monsanto has had a controversial history producing chemicals that have been banned or recalled, such as the Agent Orange defoliant 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D contaminated with dioxins. Monsantos history includes Nutri-Sweet, the Copper-7 intrauterine device, and working on the Manhattan Project supervising one of the secret laboratories that developed the atomic bomb. PCBs were banned by Congress under the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976. Coppolino points out that astrologically Mars and Chiron were in an opposition October 12, 1976, the day President Gerald Ford signed the control act into law, reflecting a cosmic pattern that occasionally sets into Monsantos horoscope negative aspects that affect Monsantos genetically modified foods mission. Coppolino does an exceptional job of jockeying between charts to illustrate how Monsanto is on a path thats been written in the stars that also will include some unexpected events. Coppolino says, Monsantos 11th house provides a description why the company seems so intractable, including its stranglehold on the public. Also that, Monsanto survived the onslaughts against genetically modified food by its usual tactics the use of government influence. But, heres the apparent bugaboo in an otherwise perfect chart: Monsantos Jupiter-Saturn conjunction will experience a simultaneous conjunction from Pluto and square from Uranus, which happens in 2015. That cosmic event may precipitate dramatic and traumatic events for Monsanto. Heres how he describes it: While there is no way to predict exactly what the Uranus-Pluto square will bring, there are few astrologers who would dare to underestimate its potential power. Those who are working for a sane response to genetic modification or to stop Monsanto outright, should know that the company is approaching a vulnerable moment, which is an invitation for activists to persist in their efforts.[1] As an example of how celestial energies affect earthly events, especially with regard to Monsanto and its GMOs, Coppolino points to the lunar eclipse in May 2013 that impacted several events Monsanto had to stiffen its upper lip to: GMO producers are concerned about the push for labeling of GMOs in the U.S. and want to dialogue about the safety of genetically modified seeds, crops, and foods. According to The New York Times, the Council for Biotechnology Information will handle answering questions to quell consumer concerns at http://gmoanswers.com/ , a website that went online recently. Personally, this writer wonders what GMO Answers.com will have to say about genetically engineered oranges. According to The Grower website, [2] Hamlin orange trees genetically engineered to produce a natural insecticide that wards off Asian citrus psyllids may be planted in Florida field trials as soon as required permits are granted. [On line 1/16/2012] According to Just Label It August 2, 2013, initial field trials for GM oranges have started in Central Florida. For more information about genetically engineered oranges, please see Can Genetic Engineering Save the Orange, and Vice Versa? Establishment of a council, whose members include Monsanto and five other big crop biotechnology and agricultural chemical companies Dow Chemical, DuPont, Syngenta, Bayer CropScience and BASF, [3] ought to be considered as a positive indicator that GMO labeling will become a reality in the USA, but consumers must keep pushing for it, and do some hard ball-type pushing. Its quite apparent to this writer, at least, that GMO biotechnology companies see the handwriting on the wall and are fearful that U.S. consumers will be as successful as the European Union consumers were in (1) getting GMOs labeled and (2) in having them banned, which the U.S. is trying to negate and introduce GM trade agreements. However, there is a large push from American farm lobby groups and international food manufacturers such as Kraft and Nestle to do away with such labeling mandates so they can sell genetically modified foods in Europe without a label (as is currently the situation in the US).[4] Perhaps the GM biotechnology industry has had its tea leaves read and are beginning to realize that You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all the people all the time, therefore, the need to dialogue. Lets talk can be interpreted as We need to persuade you to our way of thinking. However, as this writer assesses the GMO issue, Coppolinos prognostications ought to revitalize all who are working to expose the dangers of GMO farming and foods, plus bring new-found hope and unfailing determination. When certain aspects are written in the stars, who knows what can happen. We just have to keep on, keeping on.

3	How Schools Use Fear to Brainwash Students to Trust the System: A Parents StoryRecently my child experienced firsthand the kind of victim disarmament indoctrination Americas public school system is teaching our children. The school went on lockdown mode without even bothering to inform me, her parent, and while it turned out to be nothing at all, the impression left on my child that day will not soon be forgotten. In 2005, a federal court upheld that our nations public schools trump parent rights: Parents and politicians alike were shocked when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled on Nov. 2 that parents fundamental right to control the upbringing of their children does not extend beyond the threshold of the school door, and that a public school has the right to provide its students with whatever information it wishes to provide, sexual or otherwise. The court went on to clarify: Parents have no due process or privacy right to override the determinations of public schools as to the information to which their children will be exposed. What this decision essentially says is that, as a parent, your rights to control what your children are being taught end at the school door. Mainstream media reports continue to reveal the larger government indoctrination agenda at work in Americas public school system. One California elementary school hosted a toy gun buyback program last week aimed at scaring kids into getting rid of anything even resembling a fake gun, and ultimately, to scare them away from active self defense, real gun ownership and the natural right to bear arms protected by our 2nd Amendment. As they get older, it becomes just a natural thing, [Principal] Hill told KPIX 5. If they have a real gun in their hand, theyll pull the trigger just as quick. I mean, they dont fear it. The key word there? Fear. As in, they dont fear guns enoughyet. These programs are popping up at schools and churches across the nation following the Sandy Hook shooting last December. Since the tragedy, schools have gone overboard hyping the fear of guns and pushing gun control programming into overdrive, with young kids being suspended and arrested all over the country for paper guns, pink bubble guns and even making their fingers into the shape of a gun on the playground during a harmless game of cops and robbers. Likewise, schools across the country like my daughters have begun jumping at ghosts, going into lockdown mode for almost any reason and putting the kids on a perpetual fear roller coaster akin to the atomic bomb drills following World War II. While fear rules the day at our nations public schools, the flipside to this coin is a continual normalization of total compliance with the system. CBS Los Angeles recently reported that new palm scanners in two local schools would speed up the lunch lines. These schools join others who have implemented similar biometric payment systems that read vein patterns connected to the childrens meal plans with an infrared light. Parents in Louisiana spoke out against the new palm scanners in their childrens school cafeteria, calling the program the Mark of the Beast. School officials there were quick to defend the system, saying these palm scans are just more technology that is used throughout our lives. Everywhere. Everywhere, indeed. Poor argument actually, because if it is the Mark of the Beast, then wouldnt it technically need to be everywhere? Elsewhere in Florida, one school district was testing a new iris scanning software without even informing the parents at all. When the parents found out and protested, and the program got shut down, the media reported that it could keep kids safer, as if to imply the parents were just not as concerned for their childrens safety as the school was that they would deny their kids the ability to have their irises scanned every time they get on a school bus. Other schools are forcing students to wear RFID tracking chips that trace their every step via computer. It began in one San Antonio, Texas school district, and when a student spoke out because she felt the practice infringed on her religious beliefs, she was kicked out of school for refusal to be chipped. Her case went all the way to federal court before being struck down, setting a precedent that student rights religious or otherwise no longer matter once our children set foot on school grounds. Theres a reason Rutherford Institute founder and constitutional lawyer John Whitehead refers to schools as one more part of Americas ever-expanding electronic concentration camp. Our kids are being taught that giving up privacy and basic freedom to go about their daily lives chipped, tracked and trace is normal. Many American parents cannot afford private schools and do not have the time or ability to homeschool their kids, leaving their children at the mercy of public schools as their only viable education option. The Obama Administration has been toying with the idea of a federal preschool program and longer school days with less summer vacation. That means that, all waking hours considered, students will spend more time for more of their adolescent lives at school than at home with their families. Parents will have to work extra hard on building up their childrens critical thinking skills, to help them wade through a river of government propaganda to find the kernels of truth.

1	Claiming something 'just seemed off' with the combination of candidates currently seeking the Republican Party's nomination for president, voters asked Tuesday if they could see once more what the GOP field would look like with Jon Huntsman and Rick Perry back in the race. 'Could you just show me Huntsman next to Santorum again, and maybe Perry in there, too, trailing just a bit behind Romney? Not too close, though,' said Cleveland-based voter Alan Sanders, squinting as he contemplated the grouping of presidential hopefuls. 'No, that's still not quite right. What if we try Pawlenty, Paul, Bachmann, and Gingrichin that order. Ugh, never mind, that just looks weird. Maybe take Romney out and put Herman Cain back in? That might work.' At press time, the nation's Republican voters were asking to see Sarah Palin in there, too, just for fun. 
2	Iowa CaucusAccording to recent reports, a new post on social media has raised questions about potential cheating in the Iowa caucus. Tina Hessel sparked controversy when she took to Facebook with the following message: NBC also reported that Cruzs supporters used a similar tactic to take town Dr. Ben Carson. I was reasonably happy today, until I, you know, discovered the dirty tricks going on, Carson said on Monday night. Spreading rumors I had dropped out. The campaign told MSNBC that they had confirmed reports of Cruz supporters telling voters that Carson had dropped out of the race. Thats the reason I got into this race, looking at the level of deceit and distrust going on in the country, Carson concluded. Carsons campaign has called out a tweet from Rep. Steve King, who endorsed Carson, as evidence. The tweet was sent out at 8:20pm EST. King retweeted a report that the Carson was heading to Florida for a day. Previously, Carson had told reporters that he was going home to grab some fresh clothes. He told reporters not to read into the matter. What do you think? Is this pure manipulation? 
1	In a rare display of bipartisanship, senators on both sides of the aisle set aside their differences Tuesday and passed off responsibility for the nation's problems by an overwhelming 91-8 margin. 'As senators, it's our duty to get any sort of blame out of Congress and onto the president's desk as quickly as possible,' said Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), who recalled a similar 2005 decision in which the Senate firmly rejected accountability by a vote of 93-6. 'Someone has to accept this blame and do the right thing, and both Democrats and Republicans alike understand the importance of fighting tooth and nail to ensure that it's not us.' President Obama is widely expected to veto the blame, sending it back down to the House of Representatives.

'Well, Nets 92, T-Wolves 88there goes 'Hunted To Extinction,'' said Brittson, crossing the phrase off a list that once included 'Roadkill,' 'Defanged,' 'Wolf's Bane,' and even 'Pelted!' before the dismal season began to take its toll. 'Pretty soon I'll be resorting to timber metaphors, like maybe 'Timberrr!' or 'Logging Out' or maybe even 'A Clear-Cut Loss.' Wait, no, that's horrible. Isn't it?' Brittson claims that loyalty will prevent him from turning the focus of his headlines to Timberwolves' opponents in weeks to come, even if Philadelphia deep-76es them, Utah slaps them down with the jazz hands, and Cleveland dismisses them in a cavalier fashion.

He praised himself on the good work he has been doing, saying We are hitting (ISIS) harder than ever. Obama seems to think our current strategy of gun control is working. Boy, is he wrong. Fox news completely eviscerates Obama for the remarks made in his speech. Watch below for the full story. Do you think Obama is doing a poor job of handling terrorism? 
2	WHOA According to recent reports, French government officials are partially blaming the Paris attacks on President Obama for his approach to problems in the Middle East. Steven Clemons, an editor for The Atlantic, reports that he has been in communication with French officials, who are quick to criticize the lack of support coming from the United States in the fight against terror. ISIS has been incubated for two years with an absence of US leadership, Clemons reports one official claimed. And the United States needs to take the security of its allies more seriously. It was a direct implication that we had not done and acted in a way to take action, Clemons continues. But it appears that President Obama will not be able to beat around the bush much longer, given that the French have given signs that they will be invoking NATO articles. That will demand military action from all nations involved in the allianceincluding America. Still, Obama seems to have his head in the clouds. Heres a clip assuring Americans that ISIS was contained. This was released the day before the Paris massacre. 
2	BREAKING: A New Presidential Candidate Might Have Just Entered The Race According to a breaking tweet from Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol, another presidential candidatean independentis set to enter the race for the White House. Kristol sent the message out as a heads up over this holiday weekend. There will be an independent candidate, Kristol tweeted. An impressive one, with a strong team and a real chance. Kristol did not give any more information beyond the tweet, which was vague and provocative. But Donald Trump was quick to respond on his own Twitter account, calling on the GOP party to unite against this unnamed opponent. He also implied that if an independent were to run, a Clinton victory would be in the future. If dummy Bill Kristol actually does get a spoiler to run as an Independent, say good bye to the Supreme Court! Trump tweeted. The Republican Party has to be smart strong if it wants to win in November, he added. Cant allow lightweights to set up a spoiler Indie candidate! He then targeted Kristol directly. Bill Kristol has been wrong for 2 yearsan embarrassed loser, but if the GOP cant control their own, then they are not a party. Be tough, Rs! he concluded. Kristol responded hours later, returning fire at the GOP candidate. Im traveling, so hadnt realized Id so upset @realDonaldTrump, Kristol tweeted. Im sorry the mere mention of an independent candidate has so unnerved him. I hope my mention of an independent candidate didnt distract him while paying respects during whichever Memorial Day ceremony he attended, Kristol added. It is true that Kristols original tweet was a little far-fetched. Another source told CBS News Julianna Goldman not to expect an announcement for a couple of weeks. Around two weeks ago, The Washington Post did report that GOP operatives were mounting an effort to derail Donald Trump by bringing in another conservative candidate. Goldman confirmed that several names were being considered at the time, including former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. One should note that Trump and Hillary Clinton have the highest unfavorable ratings in CBS News/New York Times polls going back to 1984. Some have argued that this is an opportunity of a strong independent to enter the race. What do you think? Do you support Trump? 
3	The Federal Reserve Is Destroying Social Security And The Retirement Plans Of Millions Of AmericansMichael Snyder, Contributor Right now, approximately 56 million Americans are collecting Social Security benefits. By 2035, that number is projected to grow to a whopping 91 million. By law, the Social Security trust fund must be invested in U.S. government securities. But thanks to the low interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve, the average interest rate on those securities just keeps dropping and dropping. The trustees of the Social Security system had projected that the Social Security trust fund would be completely gone by 2033, but because of the Fed policy of keeping interest rates exceptionally low for the foreseeable future it is now being projected by some analysts that Social Security will be bankrupt by 2023. Overall, the Social Security system is facing a 134 trillion dollar shortfall over the next 75 years. Yes, you read that correctly. The collapse of Social Security is inevitable, and the foolish policies of the Federal Reserve are going to make that collapse happen much more rapidly. The only way that the Social Security system is going to be able to stay solvent is for the Social Security trust fund to earn a healthy level of interest. By law, income to the trust funds must be invested, on a daily basis, in securities guaranteed as to both principal and interest by the Federal government. All securities held by the trust funds are special issues of the United States Treasury. Such securities are available only to the trust funds. In the past, the trust funds have held marketable Treasury securities, which are available to the general public. Unlike marketable securities, special issues can be redeemed at any time at face value. Marketable securities are subject to the forces of the open market and may suffer a loss, or enjoy a gain, if sold before maturity. Investment in special issues gives the trust funds the same flexibility as holding cash. So in order for the Social Security Ponzi scheme to work, those investments in government securities need to produce healthy returns. Unfortunately, the ultra-low interest rate policy of the Federal Reserve is making this impossible. The average rate of interest earned by the Social Security trust fund has declined from 6.1 percent in January 2003 to 3.9 percent today, and it is going to continue to go even lower as long as the Fed continues to keep interest rates super low. A recent article by Bruce Krasting detailed how this works. Just check out the following example. $135 billion of old bonds matured this year. This money was rolled over into new bonds with a yield of only 1.375%. The average yield on the maturing securities was 5.64%. The drop in yield on the new securities lowers SSAs income by $5.7B annually. Over the fifteen year term of the investments, that comes to a lumpy $86 billion. So what happens when the Social Security trust fund runs dry? As Bruce Krasting also noted, all Social Security payments would immediately be cut by 25 percent.. Anyone who is 55 or older should be worried about this. Based on current law, all SS benefit payments must be cut by (approximately) 25% when the TF is exhausted. This will affect 72 million people. The economic consequences will be severe. In other words, it would be a complete and total nightmare. Sadly, the truth is that the Social Security trust fund might not even make it into the next decade. Most Social Security trust fund projections assume that there will be no recessions and that there will be a very healthy rate of growth for the U.S. economy over the next decade. So what happens if we have another major recession or worse? And most Americans know that something is up with Social Security. According to a Gallup survey, 67 percent of all Americans believe that there will be a Social Security crisis within 10 years. Part of the problem is that there are way too many people retiring and not nearly enough workers to support them. Back in 1950, each retirees Social Security benefit was paid for by 16 U.S. workers. But now things are much different. According to new data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are now only 1.75 full-time private sector workers for each person that is receiving Social Security benefits in the United States. And remember, the number of Americans drawing on Social Security will increase by another 35 million by the year 2035. Another factor that is rapidly becoming a major problem is the growth of the Social Security disability program. Since 2008, 3.6 million more Americans have been added to the rolls of the Social Security disability insurance program. Today, more than 8.7 million Americans are collecting Social Security disability payments. So how does this compare to the past? Back in August 1967, there were approximately 65 workers for each American that was collecting Social Security disability payments. Today, there are only 16.2 workers for each American that is collecting Social Security disability payments. The Social Security Ponzi scheme is rapidly approaching a crisis point. Sadly, the Federal Reserve has made it incredibly difficult to save for your own retirement. Millions upon millions of Baby Boomers that diligently saved money for retirement are finding that their savings accounts are paying out next to nothing thanks to the ultra-low interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve. The following is one example of how the low interest rate policies of the Fed have completely devastated the retirement plans of many elderly Americans. You can understand the impact of the invisible tax on the elderly by watching the decline of interest income from $50,000 invested in a five-year Treasury obligation. As recently as 2000, this would have yielded about 6.15 percent and an interest income of $3,075 a year. Now the same obligation is yielding 0.7 percent and an interest income of $350 a year. This is the lowest yield on this maturity of Treasury debt since the Federal Reserve started keeping an index of the yields in 1953. But its more than a low interest rate. Its an income decline of nearly 89 percent in just 12 years. And after you account for inflation, those that put money into savings accounts today are actually losing money. Of course most Americans have not saved up much money for retirement anyway. According to the Employee Benefit Research Institute, 46 percent of all American workers have less than $10,000 saved for retirement, and 29 percent of all American workers have less than $1,000 saved for retirement. Overall, a study conducted by Boston Colleges Center for Retirement Research discovered that American workers are $6.6 trillion short of what they need to retire comfortably. So needless to say, we have a major problem. Baby Boomers are just starting to retire and the Social Security system is still solvent at the moment, and yet the number of elderly Americans that are experiencing financial problems is already soaring. For example, between 1991 and 2007 the number of Americans between the ages of 65 and 74 that filed for bankruptcy rose by a staggering 178 percent. Also, at this point one out of every six elderly Americans is already living below the federal poverty line. So how bad are things going to be when Social Security collapses? That is frightening to think about. In the short-term, millions upon millions of retired Americans that are living on fixed incomes are going to be absolutely crushed by the inflation that QE3 is going to cause. Just like we saw with QE1 and QE2, a lot of the money from QE3 is going to end up in agricultural commodities and oil. That means that retirees (and all the rest of us) are going to end up paying more for food at the supermarket and gasoline at the pump. But those on fixed incomes are not going to see a corresponding increase in their incomes. That means that their standards of living will go down. Things are tough for retirees right now, but they are going to get a lot tougher. Right now, there are somewhere around 40 million senior citizens. By 2050 that number is projected to increase to 89 million. So how will our society cope with more than twice as many senior citizens? Sadly, we will likely never get to find out. The truth is that our system is almost certainly going to totally collapse long before then. We are rapidly approaching a financial crisis unlike anything we have ever seen before in U.S. history, and the foolish policies of the Federal Reserve just keep making things even worse.

3	10 Hard Hitting Facts that Show America Cares More About War than EducationBy Andrew Emett In 2001, the base budget for the DoD stood at $287 billion. In less than a decade, the defense budget increased to over $530 billion, which does not even include the primary costs of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. In 2010, the Office of Management and Budget reported the DoDs federal budget at $530.8 billion. In contrast, the Department of Education only received $64.1 billion, while the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Energy received $27 billion and $26.4 billion respectively. In 2011, the U.S. was spending 20% of the federal budget on defense and only 2% on education. Three years later, the Office of Management and Budget found that 18% of the budget had been spent on defense with still merely 2% on education. According to the DoD, the government has spent over $250 billion in defense contracts since the beginning of this year, which does not include any contracts valued at less than $6.5 million. Last month, the DoD paid defense contractors over $38.6 billion, after awarding them another $38.9 billion in August. Each business day, defense contractors including Bechtel, Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Microsoft, and Kellogg Brown and Root, receive exorbitant amounts of money from the federal budget. This pays for jet fuel, missiles, helicopters, food, spare parts, runways, infrastructure repairs, ship maintenance, technical support, construction equipment, etc. But most Americans dont realize that their tax dollars also paid Lockheed Martin over $920 million to manufacture and deliver F-35 jets to the governments of Italy, Turkey, Australia, Norway, and Britain. In July, Lockheed Martin was also awarded over $1.5 billion to equip Korea, Qatar, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia with Patriot missiles. Marred with a history of rape and forced prostitution, DynCorp received $68.9 million in February for integrated maintenance support services for the Saudi Arabian National Guard Aviation. Responsible for the largest data breach in U.S. history, Booz Allen Hamilton was awarded $12.3 million in July for support services to the Royal Saudi Naval Forces. And in June, L-3 National Security Solutions received $95 million to train Royal Saudi Air Force personnel. Sprint Communications even received over $10 million in April to provide cell phones to the Army Human Resources Command, while J. Walter Thompson was awarded $770 million for recruitment and advertising for the Marine Corps Recruiting Command. Instead of wasting tax dollars on cell phones and supporting repressive regimes, the American people could have decided to use that money to purchase new text books, update school computers, perform classroom maintenance, raise teacher salaries, or provide free meals to public school children from low-income families. Over the past decade, the Missile Defense Agency, an arm of the Pentagon, has wasted nearly $10 billion in failed projects. The ill-fated Sea-Based X-Band Radar (SBX), Airborne Laser, Kinetic Energy Interceptor, and Multiple Kill Vehicle cost the agency $2.2 billion, $5.3 billion, $1.7 billion, and $700 million respectively. Projected to take nine years and $12 billion to develop, at a cost of $149 million per plane, the F-22 jet actually took 19 years to produce at a cost of $26.3 billion, averaging $412 million per plane. Plagued with safety problems, including at least two fatal crashes and a faulty oxygen-supply system, then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates and then-Air Force Secretary Michael Donley forcefully requested that Congress end production of the F-22 in 2009. Two years ago, former Booz Allen Hamilton employee Edward Snowden disclosed that the black budget for fiscal year 2013 was $52.6 billion. The classified documents revealed that 16 agencies, including the CIA, NSA, and Justice Department, received the secret funds in order to conduct clandestine operations without public scrutiny or accountability. In January 2005, American soldiers opened fire on a family inside a car in the northern town of Tal Afar in Iraq. Splattered with the blood of her dead parents, 5-year-old Samar Hassan shrieked in despair and anguish next to an armed U.S. soldier as photojournalist Chris Hondros took a photograph capturing the horrific moment in history. By paying our income, property, and sales taxes, we contributed to this atrocity and countless others. You and I purchased the bullets that killed this young girls parents. We paid those soldiers to take innocent lives. Without taking personal responsibility for what our tax dollars buy, many Americans remain willfully ignorant of the crimes and incompetence committed in our names. As defense contractors accrue astronomical amounts of our money on a daily basis, they will continue to circumvent weakened campaign finance reform laws in order to purchase pliable candidates willing to keep them in power. In his farewell address, President Dwight Eisenhower warned the American people over 50 years ago of the rapidly expanding military industrial complex. Unfortunately, we didnt bother to listen. In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist, Eisenhower advised. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.

People never connect the dots that the education system they attended was fully controlled by the same government that desires to control the citizenry with its system of laws.

'Let's get 'em, guys,' said Phillips, who perfectly timed his crunching with the crack of the bat to remove any suspicion. 'Whattayasay now, infield! Let's turn two, let's, mmm, is that honey mustard?' Phillips was later marked with an error after scooping up a ground ball and accidentally showering shortstop Alex Gonzalez with a handful of pretzels while taking a bite out of the game ball.

'In the '50s, during the days of Ed Norton and Fred and Ethel Mertz, the median age was a mature 53,' the report read. 'By the late '70s and early '80s, with the likes of Larry on Three's Company, Monroe on Too Close For Comfort, and Lenny and Squiggy on Laverne & Shirley, the average had dropped to 36. Today, the wacky-neighbor landscape is dominated by twentysomethings, typified by Jack on Will & Grace and all the friends on Friends.' At the present rate, the report added, wacky TV neighbors will primarily be toddlers by 2015.

3	Justice Scalia Already Embalmed, Obama Gets a THIRD Supreme Court NomineeBy Melissa Dykes Justice Scalia, we are told, died in his sleep Saturday night. He was found with a pillow over his head. By Saturday afternoon, he was being pronounced dead of a heart attack. The judge who pronounced him dead, Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara, did so over the phone without ever seeing the body, via Local ABC affiliate WFAA8: She planned to drive to the ranch about 30 minutes south of Marfa but returned when a U.S. Marshal told her by phone: Its not necessary for you to come, judge. If youre asking for an autopsy, thats what we need to clarify. Okay The family, reportedly, did not want an autopsy and the judge decided against it after speaking with the authorities on the scene over the phone. Meanwhile WFAA8s Jason Whitely reported that same day Scalias body was discretely driven from Presidio County over three hours to El Paso where he was already embalmed overnight. Was that even a full 24 hours from the time he died that they were already embalming him? Many others have called for an autopsy due to the judges influential position coupled with the suspicious circumstances surrounding this situation, via WND: William Gheen, president of the Americans for Legal Immigration political action committee, noted the medias rush to proclaim Scalias death in a rented room in a resort in Texas as either natural causes or heart attack within hours of the discovery of his body. Anytime a head of state, member of Congress, or the most conservative member of the U.S. Supreme Court is found dead, an extensive autopsy and toxicology examination should be both immediate and mandatory, said Gheen. The horrid reaction and comments about his death expressed by many liberals online illustrate that Scalia was hated by many people. His death hands the power of the Supreme Court to the modern left for the first time in American history. The court can now vote, even without a replacement of Scalia, to radically change the United States of America. Scalias death means the Supreme Court is now very likely to rubber stamp Obamas unconstitutional amnesty orders, tear down Republican drawn districts in many states including North Carolina, and take deep left turns on abortion, gun rights, or anything the liberals have ever dreamed of. Scalia was a solid vote against Obamas immigration orders to be decided by April of this year. We do not contend there is a conspiracy, we contend that there should be no doubts, and the way authorities and the media are rushing conclusions will leave major doubts and legitimate concerns about a death that could lead to a radical political transformation of America to the left. Coming up on the courts docket just happened to be all manner of Obama legacy items including Obamacare and immigration. Obama was already discussing his Constitutional duty to replace Scalia at his press conference on the justices death. Apparently theres a window coming up when the Republican-controlled Senates term runs out on Jan. 3rd, 2017 and Obama isnt out until Jan. 20th meaning for 17 days he can appoint a justice and the Senate cant block his nomination. And in other news, Supreme Court justices are appointed for life and in the crazy land America has now become a full one third of the highest court in our land is about to be comprised of Obama nominees. This is the kind of event that lets you know the corruption behind devious inventions like Obamacare go far beyond the puppet the real owners running things have propped up in the White House.

She is an experienced researcher, graphic artist and investigative journalist with a passion for liberty and a dedication to truth. Her aim is to expose the New World Order for what it is a prison for the human soul from which we must break free. So the Herd gets a new Shepherddoes it really matter? Maybe if you play the left/right game. I guess i just have too many ancestors who did these kind of things and my mind works this way, but did you stop to consider that perhaps he had a helping hand with dying. This would create a diversion as the economy comes crashing down on our heads and from the Empires war crimes. Then this also allows a lame duck obomister to name a minion to the rubber stamp court. No doubt in my mind about that possibility. Court Intrigue goes back a long way. My point was, nothing will change. The economy is still going to crash and the war crimes will continue. Scalia was there for 30 years and what did he do to stop the criminals? Nothing. He just fed at the trough like all the rest. I can just imagine Patricia Cornwell frothing at the mouth over this lack of autopsy. Very strange,disturbing. Even my father dying of cancer at 75 had an autopsy. Other articles report Scalia had seen his personal physician last Thursday complaining of shoulder pain. Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara, who pronounced Scalia dead, said his death certificate will say the cause of death was natural and that he died of a heart attack, she told ABC News. She said Scalias doctor in Washington DC told her the Justice had been sick last week but was at the office Wednesday and Thursday before departing for his quail hunting trip on Friday. Guevarawas out of town and said she planned to drive to the ranch but was told by a US Marshal, who was with Scalias body, that it was unnecessary to do so. She asked the US Marshals if there were any signs of foul play and they assured her absolutely not, according to The Washington Post. Guevara then talked to Scalias personal physician in DC before she officially pronounced him dead and declined to order an inquest. Under Texas law it is legal for a justice of the peace to declare someone dead without seeing the body. Some of these things need clarity before the C word starts getting thrown around. Its always on a hunting trip Hes Italian, the whole thing sounds like an Italian hit job Dont we take our orders from Rome/Queen of England so if a politician disagrees they either cut the money off or the person rome and queen of england have no powers you are referring to rich liberals. Sotomayor and Kagan are decent, moderate people who could never be accused of being liberal, as if that is somehow some kind of dirty word now. I never knew Scalia personally. Maybe I would have liked him. But since all Ive been able to know about him is through his actions and words while on the Supreme Court, Im glad he is no longer able to render judgements. Since there is no real way to remove a SC Justice, we have to root for the ones we dont like to die. There is a way to remove a Justice thru impeachment, but no Justice has ever been removed. They do not have a code of ethics, so proving improper behavior is all but impossible. This makes the Supreme Court absolute, and as we know, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Scalia was the poster child for pushing his personal, conservative and reactionary views. Scalia was, in my view, a dangerous buffoon, who was the most judicially activist Justice in recent history, openly promoting conservative causes. He too his absolute power (absolute power corrupts absolutely) as a mandate to wage a cultural war. I remember Scalia saying he would not agree to allow a convicted murderer to have a new trial if another later confessed to the actual murder. Why? As far as that corpulent bag of human waste was concerned, the incarcerated individual on death row had a fair trial at the time based on the evidence available then and as far as he was concerned, the Constitution did not guarantee such judicial victims a new trial. Disgusting interpretation of justice to be sure but this man was twisted! I dont believe you, at all. Google it then! I just found the quote. Look at todays Alternet, an article by Halper(sp?) entitled 12 memorable quotes by Scalia. If they didnt impeach over Dred Scott they arent gonna start now. There has been an impeachment but no conviction. The SC Justices have absolute power,which leads to absolute corruption. Iran has a Supreme Leader for life as the ultimate authority; the US has a Supreme Court, supreme and unaccountable. This is a recipe for tyranny. s you are sick I agree that anyone of his importance should warrant an autopsy just to avoid the suspicion in such a death. However, there are some holes here even a TV show wouldnt try. Who said he had a pillow over his face? If someone killed him, why would they leave the pillow like that? If someone had that kind of information, wouldnt they have been shut up before the law ever got there? This is an exclusive hunting ranch just filled with high rollers; they must have some pretty crack security guys. Even without an autopsy there are signs someone has been smothered; ruptured blood vessels in the eyes, teeth imprints on the inside of the lower lip, etc. Lots of questions I, too, am confused by the lack of autopsy unless it was a religious reason. I think theyre less likely to insist on one in someone of his age versus say, a 35 year old. Another situation to cause all of us to feel more manipulated suspicious. Another situation to cause all of us to feel more manipulated suspicious. and that is exactly their intent, to confuse us while insuring that everyone realizes, in case there are still a few doubters, that our country has been officially taken over. Now more then ever we need Gods help. We are cracking apart. We cant lose our Constitution. Obama needs to be destroyed..It is the only way to preserve our country.!! If Obama had it his way people would be black bagged and imprisoned, like 1984 People have forgotten that the Declaration of Independence will set them free But they have to spread the word like wildfire and learn it,use it against the corrupt federal government and the world as a legal document and action we must take. I think Trump could save this country, but I dont think Obama and his handlers will allow it Does your God advocate destroying people? I thought his Ten Commandments said that was verboten. Religious zealots are very confusing. I dont think you should say things like that out loud and publicly. We are living in different times as we enter a totalitarian state. Be careful. Amazing how short the memories of extremist right wing pundits are. The US will be changed alright when Obama appoints his new replacement for the Supreme Court. It will no longer rubber stamp the oligarchs wishes. Americans have suffered under the regressive orientation of Republican right wing, discredited, venal and brutal ideology. Now a balance will be restored perhaps in time to prevent a total breakdown of democratic and social institutions. The US will change for the bad. Obama has done nothing good for our country. Stop blaming the Republicans. We need all socialist and communist out of our government. You are completely brainwashed and wouldnt know what benefits you from what doesnt. Dont try to push your discredited ideology down the majority of Americans throats. You are outnumbered. And big business/corporations out of government too! Media cannot be controlled by 6 companies either More money needs to go out to citizens first and the Federal Police agencies like CIA, FBI, etc., have to be operated at the state and local levels better; as well as all religions There are somethings that should not go out of their area Thats the way for true balanceAmerica needs to think and act on, whats good for America at some point! yes because pushing homosexuality,abortion,more goverment power and taking away christian rights is restoration? no you mean you want liberals in power so you can push more liberal and corrupt policies. You want to further give power to government and rich corporations and bankers which run the government. sammy. What percentage of american citizens are right wing religious nut cases? Seems like a very high percentage from the comments on articles like this. What a shame. How did this brainwashing occur? What will these liberals restore? more homosexuality,abortion? giving obama more power? taking away more rights from people? maybe sending anyone to jail who disagrees with trannies? Giving power to planned parenthood to sell baby body parts? You make a good point. Democrats arent liberal, left-wing or socialist. US Democrats are one of two primary and corrupt political parties in the US. Both parties do nothing but weaken and divide the US population. None of those on Obamas list could ever become justices at any level if not for the constitutional framers egregious dereliction in establishing the judicial branch: The Bible stipulates, among other things, that judicial appointees must be men of truth who fear Yahweh and hate covetousness. (See Chapter 5 Article 2: Executive Usurpation for a list of additional Biblical qualifications.) The United States Constitution requires no Biblical qualifications whatsoever. Nowhere does the Constitution stipulate that judges must rule on behalf of Yahweh, rendering decisions based upon His commandments, statutes, and judgments as required in Exodus 18. That not even one constitutional framer contended for Yahweh,3 as did King Jehoshaphat, speaks volumes about the framers disregard for Him and His judicial system: And he [King Jehoshaphat] set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city, and said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for YHWH,4 who is with you in the judgment. And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of YHWH, faithfully, and with a perfect heart. (2 Chronicles 19:5-9). For more, see online Chapter Article 6: Judicial Usurpation ofBible Law vs. the United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective. Then, find out how much you REALLY know about the Constitution as compared to the Bible. Take our 10-question Constitution Survey in the right-sand sidebar and receive a complimentary copy of a book that EXAMINES the Constitution by the Bible. Weiland, you really are a piece of work. Exodus 18 doesnt require all governments to rule on behalf of Yahweh, only the theocracy under Moses. You cant condemn the U.S. Constitution for not doing something that is only required of a theocracy. Although, we are living under a theocracy of sorts, more so everyday. TWO INDICTMENTS OF SCALIA: Wierd things happen in Texas. Continuously, since George W. Bush graduated from a druggie family into the governorship. Just TRY to tell me this whole thing STINKS! Even if he WASNT found with a pillow on his face( which sounds really lame) an autopsy should have been done and the lack there of stinks to high heaven! The family does NOT get to make the decision at an unattended death! The speed of this burial SUCKS folksSo I guess the black hats dont even have to hide their actions anymore.I guess your adherence to the Constitution was intolerableSad day.Rest in Peace Justice Scalia. Judge Scalia embalmed, now The Constitution will be entombed. Buy More mmo, while you still can. Doing so is *still* the only viable treatment for ODDD (Obamunist Douchebag Distrust Disorder). Doing so is *still* the only remaining path to Liberty. Support your local Militia and/or your local Oath Keepers. Be the Resistance. This wont end pretty, merica. Smells like a cover up to metoo suspecious. Since when do we confirm someones death via cellphone? a cellphone is a phone and in the large distances of W. Texas it is perfectly reasonable. Ur just a moron. A cell phone is a phone?? Wow how smart you are. Thank you for that cuz none of us knew that revelation. Guess u didnt u low IQ feces eater now go get extinct! haha Thank goodness no one takes you seriously. Baahaaaaaa. You obviously have nothing better to do than troll around and post ignorant comments. Plus your inability to comment without adding negative insults and micro aggressions shows just how lame and sad of a human being you truly are. Go troll some where else cause you are truly out of your lane here. Haaaaa. IQ feces eater?? Baaaahaaaa! Wow! Your creativity amuses everyone here! LOLLLL!!! (Awaiting your next best creative commentwell see if you can post without the insults this timehaaaa). tl;dr ura ignorant douche go back to ur reptilian masters moron haha HmmmmI rest my case. Just proved my point. Now you cant even spell. LOL Im done trying to teach you common sense so have a nice life primate. ^angry douche haha I hadnt heard anything about a pillow over his head. I heard that his hands were folded on his chest. But the situation seems to clear up any question about whether or not there is anything wrong with this scenario. What it states loudly and clearly is that there are certain groups of people who are treated as if they are above the law or outside of the law. We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head. His bed clothes were unwrinkled, said Poindexter. We arent seeing much in the media reminding people what a shady character this guy is DARPA, as most people know, is one of the many black ops arms of our military. Convicted of multiple felonies, all reversed on appeal, means he owes some big time debts. From wiki- Poindexter is a retired United States naval officer and Department of Defense official. He was Deputy National Security Advisor and National Security Advisor for the Reagan administration. He was convicted in April 1990 of multiple felonies as a result of his actions in the IranContra affair, but his convictions were reversed on appeal in 1991. More recently, he served a brief stint as the director of the DARPA Information Awareness Office for the George W. Bush administration. We all know what happened. This is reminiscent of the heroic capture and killing of Osama bin Laden, whose body was buried at sea out of respect for Muslim culture! No corpus delecti to prove that this enemy of America was finally dispatched, can you believe it? And, oh, by the way, the Seals who were supposedly responsible for the whole bin Laden capture all perished in a helicopter crash no too long after. Yep, and people still believe all the government fairy tales. Its so easy to label hard truth conspiracy theory and to call people who question anything tin-foil hat nut jobs. That way you dont even have to look behind the curtain at all. Thats what 90% of people do and thats why the nice people at the CIA invented the idea for us to use. Is that true? Scary business this. To my fellow bloggers, Just an old veteran cop reflecting, Gordon Martines No mention that he was found WITH A PILLOW OVER HIS FACE? Its time to sue to gain Barry NWO Davis sequestered records. Hes not above the law, though he and his minions believe so. The simplest examination will prove he was Kenyan-born. Note his biography in his Princeton yearbookborn in Kenya! That said, my point is he should not be allowed to appoint another justice. In fact, his two stooges should be removed, as they were illegally nominated and appointed. Until then, any ruling carried due to those two should be ignored by every patriot, freedom-lover, and Constitutionalist. I suppose that make me a terrorist, by Barrys definition! Yes, for those 17 days, Obama can make a recess appointmentprovided the Congress is in sine die adjournment for those 17 days. Any recess or adjournment must be authorized by both houses of Congress, who are controlled by the Republicans and must be longer than three days for a recess appointment to occur. Be assured that if the Republicans hold the line, there will be ZERO THREE DAY PERIODS IN WHICH THEY ARE NOT IN SESSION. Obama will be blocked. Mitch McConnell is not a favorite of mine, but I acknowledge that he is a policy wonk when it comes to Senate and Congressional rules. He will play the cards right. The uni-party republicants will block nothing. My analysis makes the assumption that Republicans are a creature with a spineif not then disaster. This is dja vu. The events around John F. Kennedy and his autopsy is no less then a sham. Now another sham this time a US. Supreme Court judge. Your republic is looking and more by the days as a banana republic. This week on Congress floor a bill that would bypass your constitution on the war measure act carved in such way it is a highly unconstitutional bill and giving more power to the president but at this point your constitution is not in force of law anymore. This is a thought to wonder about. How can a state of law exist without a constitution? The answer is simple it doesnt. So where is the American republic at this point? There is some form of government on a given territory but the rest is very speculative political science research from there on. Americans are becoming a menace to human civilization. As Louis St-Laurent a former Canadian Prime minister said wisely to defend civilization we must remain civilized. I appreciate the political decision Lester B. Pearson took when he decided that Canada would get out of the nuclear arms race and got rid of Canada of all its nuclear military potential. By doing so Pearson decided that Canada would remain a neutral country in this global lunacy and no Canadian government has changed the way paved by Pearson and I appreciate his bold move into this explosive matter. John F. Kennedy was decided and committed to get the United States out of the nuclear lunacy and he got assassinated. In Canada Pearson got us out of the nuclear arms race and he was reelected. What kind of country do you prefer? At this point there is nothing that can be done for the Americans. You are lost, your leaders are lunatics and America is a danger for human civilization and nothing can be done to change this. They need to check that pillow for Obamas fingerprints. Artists rendering of security camera still of Obama sneaking up on Justice Scalia with a pillow. The camera footage has mysteriously disappeared @SaifsArt Not a smidgen Ura nut. Scalia was a racist piece of feces and if he was murdered it was greatly deserved and appreciated! 
1	Friends of 33-year-old Dan Leski were subjected Tuesday to a detailed account of his recent visit to a restaurant, the sole point of which was apparently to communicate the fact that Leski had eaten food and then paid for it. 'I thought he was going somewhere with it when he mentioned how the waitress had a foreign accent, but nope, that was just a prelude to the part where he ordered his meal,' friend Eric Farber said of the story that began with Leski feeling hungry and ended when the bill$13.95 plus tax and tiphad been settled. 'Evidently Dan had lunch at a restaurant the other day. That's about all we learned.' Farber told reporters he would probably check the restaurant out himself sometime in the near future. 
3	Americas Real Homegrown ExtremistsJames F. Tracy The Attorney Generals hand wringing is compounded by the Southern Poverty Law Centers most recent research report. The document seeks to inform law enforcement about the increasingly hostile anti-government movement the SPLC claims has grown from 150 groups in 2008 to nearly 1,100 last year.[2] In early June, the study intones, The overall publicity offensive comes one month after Holder announced the re-establishment of the DOJs Committee on Domestic Terrorism, initially begun following the bombing of the Oklahoma City Murrah Federal Building and scuttled in 2001.[4] Despite the Vegas incidents dubious features, it is a foremost element in cultivating an atmosphere of tension surrounding extremist attitudes and hostility toward police exhibited in social media. For example, the topic of [e]escalating danger by anti-government extremists dominated a four-hour discussion on homeland security held at the National Sheriffs Association conference in June. According to one sheriff in attendance, such extremism is the single greatest concern that faces our deputies today.[5] But recent history strongly suggests how Holders crocodile fears and the SPLCs associated terror mongering are grossly disingenuous. The DOJs foremost policing agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, has since 9/11 been the nations greatest purveyor of domestic terrorism. What goes unstated in corporate news media coverage of the issue is the fact that the FBIs wanton extremism is self-generated largely to marshal public opinion behind the so-called war on terror and thereby justify the broader police states continued existence and expansion. As journalist Trevor Aaronson revealed after an extensive examination of the FBIs post-9/11 anti-terrorism techniques, for over a decade the agency With this in mind, one neednt stretch their imagination very far to consider the designs the FBI is likely undertaking to foster its war on [domestic] terrorism. Such immense schemes are more than sufficient cause to further rethink the already ambiguous roles played by the Vegas shooters in last months apparent massacre. Eric Holder and the SPLC are well aware of their own duplicity. The fact that they parade around waving the flag of civil rights should by no means place them beyond the deep scrutiny they so richly deserve. Moreover, their fear-based sermonizing is pitched to the most obtuse and impressionable sectors of the publicthose the media routinely inoculate against historical reality, critical thought, and informed citizenship.

2	Former Fox News Anchor Arrested Last summer, Amanda Davis of Fox 5 was arrested for a DUI, shocking viewers throughout the nation. As it turns out, she has finally been sentenced for her actions, and will be serving one year of probation and 40 hours of community service. This was the third DUI charge for Davis in the city of Atlanta. Her first incident occurred more than two decades ago, but she was arrested once again in 2012. The charges were dropped, but it was rumored that the incident cost her a prestigious position at Fox. In 2013, she left the network after 26 years on air. Although things were looking up for Davis, and she was able to secure a position for CBS 46, her success was short-lived. She was arrested her first day on the job. I observed a Mercedes E350 fail to maintain a single lane of travel on Atlanta Road southbound prior to Cumberland Pkwy., the officer on the scene wrote in his report. The drive of the vehicle, Amanda Davis, was placed under arrest for DUI after I conducted an investigation. CBS 46 never aired Davis segment, and she has been taking a leave of absence ever since. Were aware of the disposition, manager Larry Perret wrote. Were waiting for Amanda to let us know when she is ready to start her Just A Minute segments. What do you think? Is it time for Davis to get her act together? 
3	Financial Lockdown ATMs Went Dry: 3 Police States Banning Cash to Control the PeopleBy Mac Slavo The European Union has once again been confronted with a major terror attack, and is coming down harsh on cash, gold and other valuables as a response. Due to its supposed connection to financing terrorism, cash and gold are being closely monitored and seized as it flows into the EU. Meanwhile, economic crisis is driving extremely tight cash control measures in Venezuela, India and other parts of the developing world. In the name of combating illicit financial activities, these countries have banned nearly all of the currency, while placing a very short leash around their already impoverished populations. The United States, too, is under a great deal of economic pressure. Enormous mounts of debt, rising interest rates and a number of massive bursting bubbles, could explode into a major crisis. While there are already fairly tight restrictions on transferring, withdrawing or crossing borders with large amounts of cash, even greater restrictions may be coming. Earlier in 2016, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, an architect of the last banking crisis, penned an op-ed called Its time to kill the $100 bill. These are difficult times in Europe with the refugee crisis, economic weakness, security issues and the rise of populist movements Even better than unilateral measures in Europe would be a global agreement to stop issuing notes worth more than say $50 or $100. (emphasis added) It isnt just summers. Janet Yellen, the IMF, and several leading papers have all advocated these measures. Now, these things are starting to happen around the world. Investing.com sees a global cash ban accelerating in 2017, and possibly impacting transactions at home in the United States: The big theme for 2017 will be Cash. Not a pro-deflationary time to own cash theme, but a lets ban it as quickly as possible theme [] Which is why 2017 will shape up to be the year of the Global Cash Bans. (emphasis added) Cash is being restricted as a means of maintaining control over the citizenry. Long lines, withdrawal limits, capital controls, will all define the use of cash during the crises to come. Look at what has happened: Venezuela At least they have a good excuse, as they are in the midst of an exploding hyperinflationary currency crisis. President Maduro has forced everyone to dump their notes in the bank, and wait in even longer lines, and go through even more bureaucracy in order to secure food and other necessities in this failing economy. Many have been forced to open bank accounts for the first time, or operate in the black market sector. It has been extremely inconvenient for an already burdened people: It is not the sort of quantitative easing approach you will read about in any economic textbooks, but Venezuelan President Nicols Maduro has apparently found an innovative way to halt his countrys slide into hyperinflation. Over the weekend, Maduro abruptly outlawed the 100-bolivar bank note, the largest denomination of the countrys currency, giving Venezuelans until Thursday to deposit or exchange the bills before they are rendered worthless. Calling the bills instruments of an economic coup to destabilize his government, he said the move would strike a blow at international mafias that have been hoarding the cash. (source) India With one and quarter billion people, the government is forcing its poor people and backwards economy to conform to banking standards. Individuals have been forced to line up and deposit 500 and 1000 rupee notes, worth something like $7.50 and $14.70 dollars, respectively, as they are no longer legal for market transactions. Most of these people dont have bank accounts a crisis is now underway. Via Investing.com: The 7th largest country in the world by GDP (India) banned physical cash in denominations that comprise over 80% of all outstanding bills. The move was a political disaster temporarily, but no one was forced out of office and the legislation remains in place. (emphasis added) This forceful policy has forced hundreds of millions to find their way into the banking sector, as a full half of the countrys workforce, in the informal market, have been put into a bind. The entire situation has been a nightmare. Since the ban was announced, not only have people stood in long lines to get money, banks are also not handing out the amount that customers demand as they run out of money faster than it is replaced. If I need Rs. 10,000 ($150), I get Rs. 2000 ($30). How can I manage in just this much money? I have faced massive problems, Lal explained. How do I buy rations, or pay for medicines or send money home for my children? (Source) (emphasis added) Via MoneyControl.com: Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi, While speaking in Baran district of Rajasthan on Monday, attacked PM Narendra Modi, saying cash Ban is actually a financial lockdown. With[a] December 30 deadline set by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ease money supply, the cash crunch continues with people lining outside banks and ATMs to withdraw their money. (emphasis added) It is a financial lockdown that has seriously impacted the lower and middle classes in the huge expanses of India, where some 98% of all transactions take place in cash. On Nov. 8, the Indian government announced an immediate ban on two major bills that account for the vast majority of all currency in circulation. In the two weeks after the measure was announced, millions of Indians stricken with small panic rushed out to banks; A.T.M.s and tellers soon ran dry. Some 98 percent of all transactions in India, measured by volume, are conducted in cash. So far its effects have been disastrous for the middle- and lower-middle classes, as well as the poor. And the worst may be yet to come. (source) (emphasis added) These are not just third world problems; serious cash restrictions are happening in highly industrialized Western countries as well. Europe has already shifted largely into the digital sphere, and are now targeting the influence of cash as part of its security strategy. European Union After the latest round of terror attacks in Berlin and across Europe, the European Commission is instituting unprecedented cash controls, clamping down on the influx of cash and precious metals that they fear could be used in terror financing. This amounts to even more restrictions on everyone else who isnt a terrorist. EU to boost border checks on cash, gold to tackle terrorism financing Via Reuters: The European Commission proposed tightening controls on cash and precious metals transfers from outside the EU on Wednesday, in a bid to shut down one route for funding of militant attacks on the continent. Under the new proposals, customs officials in European Union states can step up checks on cash [] People carrying more than 10,000 euros ($10,400) in cash already have to declare this at customs when entering the EU. The new rules would allow authorities to seize money below that threshold where there are suspicions of criminal activity, the EU executive commission said in a note. The Commission is also considering whether to set up an EU-focussed terrorist finance tracking program along the lines of the U.S.-EU TFTP, which has long been opposed by EU lawmakers and privacy campaigners because it allows widespread checks on consumers bank transfers. The Commission is also proposing confiscating assets even from those thought to be connected to criminals [ and] holders of prepaid cards would have to show some form of identity when they make payments of 150 euros or more. (emphasis added) And there are, of course, already many restrictions on cash in many countries in Europe, as Investing.com notes: Numerous developed nations (France, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, etc.) have already banned cash for certain transactions. Next year (2017) is the year we expect to start seeing policy pushes for complete bans on cash. (emphasis added) There are many pretexts for tightening cash, placing limits on spending, and increasing surveillance on people who use large amounts of it. All of it will curb freedom, and force digital market transactions, backed by biometric identification, tracking and verification. And it is coming home to America.

You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com Anybody got any constructive ideas besides only keeping 20 dollar bills handy? Can we stop these bastards? Something needs to be done yesterday. I think the USA is already too stupid to realize the freedom they will loose for the convenience of only digital money. What are you gonna do if the power goes out ? Im prepared to the extent that I know what Ill do. Do you know what youre gonna do? Im gonna do everything I can to prevent the implementation of a cashless society. If the psychopath traitors succeed in bringing about a cashless society Ill be committed to their destruction. Every person who online banks and pays all debt/bills with automatic withdrawals has encouraged this convenience system. There will always be an underground economy. Bartering isnt going to cut it. This is about control. Local Exchange Trading Systems. Its very easy to create another form of currency and exchange, even when its not actually a currency in the sense that governments recognize. it is very difficult to get yourself out of computer paying your bills. yes, it is trying to control you and your money. At least we know who to murder. Bring back JFKs e/o 11110 the Zentral banks would have been useless and silver certificates would have been the norm. Whatever happened to teaching by example? The US and other nations have been supplying terrorists with armaments and cash for several years with impunity. Now they are part of a conspiracy to control their peoples rights to cash. It is outrageous! Shucks. Corporations will accept cash payments for weapons and ammo. Corporations ARE terrorrists. Financial terrorism, psychological terrorism. They adore terrifying and controlling not only their employees and customers, but the governments and nations within which they do business. Not to the extent as nations like Iran and Saudi Arabia and so forth. These nations exist to destroy nonmuslim nations. What the USA does is use foreign groups to fight proxy wars, to avoid having a war on the home front. I think you would not prefer the alternative to the USA supplying foreign groups to fight proxy wars. Not to the extent? On the contrary, the US is by far the biggest supporter of terrorism in the World today. It makes all other state sanctioned terrorists look like pikers. The point is that such American terrorism has been creating murder and mayhem for many decades right back to the beginning of the Twentieth Century. The Middle East was divided up by the British and Americans to make exploitation of their petroleum resources easier for Western corporations. The CIA has been operating in these Middle East countries since it was created by Truman or whoever and have destabilized governments, assassinated foreign leaders and destroyed the lives of millions to satisfy American greed. Now individuals like you are attempting to foster lies about protecting the Homeland from terrorists. Believe me, we have seen the enemy and it is us! Well said. What the USA does is use foreign groups to fight proxy wars, to avoid having a war on the home front. Not specific enough, please clarify. The use of foreign groups? Did you perhaps mean to say, the CIA creates groups and finances their activities to destabilize a nation or region, to provide the opportunity for US corporations to exploit the resources? Which by the way, is clearly quid pro quo payback for financial support i.e., re-election campaign donations, etc. As for avoiding a war on the home front, true but in what context? Such that there are more than enough weapons and ammunition in the private sector to outfit an army, is it your assertion that they desire to avoid an uprising of the people that have been lied to and have been victims of their fraud and extortion? Or are you claiming that the people will pay for their naivety by experiencing retaliatory attacks from those whose ways of life have been destroyed, i.e., Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, Haiti, etc., etc., etc. Such that the Kenyan and his minions have been blatant, operating with impunity, and are conspicuously accountable for the genocide and murder of millions, my guess is the first. Most may have been born at night but it wasnt last night. Cheers. Doesnt this just confirm that the Ruling Elite/Cabal are bankers/central bankers/Bank of International Settlements/Federal Reserve. Since 90% of Americans live in urban settings, a return to bartering will be ineffective unless urban farming takes off. Littljo below has the right idea. Take the power to run the economy from those with no heart or soul. The problem is not the cash and who controls it, the problem is using corporate banks. Keep your cash at home or use a credit union if you live in the west and have one. NEVER keep it in a bank. Terrorism is not state-corporate, religion has been practicing it for millennia, so have corporations. I dig that religion has been engaged in terrorism, possibly created the concept, but is the state not a religion/cult? Terrorism [ter-uh-riz-uh m] the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes. Is not the injustice system a religious cult as well? Black robes, altar, court cleric, etc. Separation of church and state? I think not. save coins, and small bills. these are methods of stealing from the poor and rich. the govts are now the biggest criminals stealing the life blood of its own citizens. 
2	Oprah Tells FOX News Host All White People Have To Die, Her Reasoning Is Unbelievable Oprah Winfrey made some shocking comments in a recent interview with BBC, when she alluded that the only reason someone wouldnt like President Barack Obama is if they were a racist. When the interviewer asked Oprah if she thought people were against Obama because he was black, she responded, Theres no question. She went on to say that she thinks theres a level of disrespect for the office that occurs. And that occurs in some cases because hes African American. Theres no question about that. And its the kind of thing no one ever says, buy everybody is thinking. Apparently Oprah isnt aware that her comments dont set her apart. Instead, they group her with a slew of Obama supporters that claim that disapproval of the president stems from either religious or racial discrimination. And she clearly hasnt paid attention to stations like MSNBC or celebrities like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. She certainly isnt alone in her accusations, but continued on to make a statement about racisms in general, stating that As long as people can be judged by the color of their skin, problems not solved. So when does Oprah see racism coming to an end? There are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism, Oprah said, and they just have to die. Thats right, according to Oprah, when everyone who ever had a racist ancestor dies, America will be set free from all of its problems. What do you think of Oprahs shocking comments?

The response to the shooting has been very divisiveit seems that as many people have been criticizing the young officer as have been calling him a hero. University President Michael Drake said he called Officer Alan Horujko, 28, to thank him for following his training and being able to neutralize the circumstances within roughly one minute. Just check out some of the debates going on here: Mark Dice (@MarkDice) November 29, 2016 What do you think? Did Officer Horujko do the right thing? 
2	She Had No Idea This Toy Would Burn Her Sons Retinas And Permanently Destroy His Vision Every kid wants a laser pointer. He or she sees them being used for Powerpoint presentations, and thinks of all the cool lasers he or she has seen in cartoons. Or how the red laser could be like a ray gun, or a light saber, or a tracer for a sniper rifle. A 14-year old boy in Tasmania, Australia was trying to have fun with his laser pointer. But, unfortunately, he shined the laser where he shouldnt have. The young boy was found to have lost 75% of his vision, a result of shining the laser pointer directly into his eyes. He approached his parents and told them that he was having trouble seeing. His parents brought him in to see Dr. Ben Armitage to find out what was wrong. Armitage says: He came in to see me and on the Friday night hed got a hold of a laser pen and unfortunately shined it in his eyes for a very brief period of time. The laser pointer, though only briefly shined into the young boys eyes, burned his retinas, causing lifelong damage that destroyed three quarters of his vision. While laser pointers seem fun, kids need to know how potentially dangerous they can be. One should never shine a bright laser pointer into his or her eyes, and parents should remind their kids of the dangers laser pointers pose. 
3	Ending the Classroom Factory Model: How Technology Will Personalize EducationBy Reason TV 
1	Following the Lakers shooting guards surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon, Kobe Bryants family and friends told reporters Friday that they are really looking forward to spending the next nine months with the NBA superstar as he recuperates from the season-ending injury. I couldnt be more excited about this, said Bryants sister Shaya, who like all of the athletes family members and close personal acquaintances expressed joy about the chance to keep the sidelined basketball star company during his rehabilitation. Its unfortunate that Kobes so banged up, but my brothers such a pleasure to be around that Im sure these next few months will just fly by. And Im looking forward to every single second of it. I honestly cant think of anyone else Id rather spend multiple hours a day with for the next year than Kobe Bryant, Shaya continued. With Bryant facing a strenuous post-surgical recovery, the people close to the Lakers captain reportedly voiced their unfettered enthusiasm about spending quality time with the future Hall of Famer in the coming months. Bryants agent, parents, personal assistant, and two daughters, who described themselves as unbelievably lucky, confirmed that they couldnt wait to just hang out with the hobbled All-Star and enjoy delightful activities such as preparing meals for the shooting guard, running his errands, and making conversation with him during his extended downtime. Family and friends expressed their elation at perpetually tending to the injured Lakers stars every need as he recoups from his tendon tear, rejoicing over the opportunity to take Bryant to doctors appointments, help him up and down the stairs of his Newport Beach mansion, and guide him through his physical therapy exercises. While family and friends admitted that the assistance would be physically and emotionally grueling, they said that Bryant would doubtlessly show his appreciation for their tireless efforts. Obviously, Kobe is pretty upset about having sustained such a serious injury in the twilight of his career, but Im sure hell be very accepting of our help, said Bryants next-door neighbor Glen Howell, adding that his good friend will require his constant attention and support over the next several months. Some people might get defensive about this kind of thing, but Kobes such a positive, kind-hearted guy that theres no way he would think about venting his frustrations on those who care about him. Thats just not the Kobe I know, Howell continued. Though Bryants recovery period will reportedly allow many people in his life to experience the pure bliss that reportedly comes in basking in his presence, none stand to benefit more than Bryants wife, Vanessa, who said that her husbands lengthy convalescence would provide her a unique opportunity to reconnect with the man who has played such a special role in her life. Kobes been the light of my world for 13 years now, but as amazing as it is to be married to him, its always difficult when he leaves for games and road trips, said Vanessa, who emphasized that she cherishes every waking moment spent with her husband. But now, and for the foreseeable future, Kobes going to be the first thing I see when I get up in the morning and the last thing I see when I go to bed. Hes going to be a constant presence in our home, and Ill be there with him every step of the way, on call to meet his every need, every single day, for nine magical months. Its really going to be something else, Vanessa added. 
3	Why The Surveillance State Must Be ErasedBrandon Smith The fact that our government is bought and paid for by international corporate interests, the fact that our government has positioned itself to spy on ALL Americans without warrant and without probable cause, the fact that our government is instituting policy initiatives that target common citizens as enemy combatants, the fact that every one of our Constitutional rights is being deliberately torn away; these things are not news to us, but to many once-ignorant people, they are a shock to the system. Open corruption on the part of a criminal establishment has a funny way of politicizing everyone, even those people who go out of their way to avoid the bigger picture. In the end, no man or woman gets a pass. Whether you like it or not, one day soon, you will have to choose a side; freedom or tyranny. There is no middle ground. There is no Switzerland. With all the rationalizations and counter-rationalizations flying around concerning the current avalanche of admissions and data leaks, it is easy to lose track of the root of the overall conflict. Its as if we have been dropped into the heart of an Amazonian swamp, our feet encased in a thick sludge of social inaction as a dark cloud of mindless mosquito-people buzz about us, pecking hungrily at our veins with their warped and uneducated world views. The deafening chorus distracts us from what is truly important. Here is the reality of our situation: 1) Both the Bush Administration and the Obama Administration supported FISA domestic surveillance legislation. FISA is the legal tool which the federal government now uses to justify the monitoring of journalists and recently exposed mass surveillance programs such as PRISM. Politicians from both the Republican and the Democratic parties have defended the use of FISA and PRISM. Both parties support the destruction of your 4th Amendment rights. 3) Part of the motivation for surveillance measures against journalists has clearly been the Benghazi conspiracy, which is a thorn in the side of the establishment that refuses to go away. Like Watergate, or Iran-Contra, the White House has been caught with its pants down and instead of admitting its guilt, has decided to attack the messengers instead. 4) Another motivation was certainly the exposure of the ATFs Fast And Furious program, which funneled U.S. firearms into the hands of Mexican drug cartels so that American firearms dealers and owners could be blamed for the escalation of deadly violence south of the border. Again, Obama and his handlers seek to use a suffocating surveillance grid in order to thwart whistleblowers and prevent federal crimes from being aired in public. 5) The use of the IRS as a weapon against the political enemies of the establishment (namely Tea Party groups) verifies that government surveillance without oversight can indeed lead to political profiling and unjustified punishment. 6) The PRISM scandal, leaked by former CIA operative and NSA contractor Edward Snowden, has given the general public a raw naked look at the reality of the FISA spy initiative. In the past, Liberty Movement champions have been derided as paranoid for pointing out that there were no limitations to FISA, and that the entire nation might one day be monitored and catalogued like animals in a great technological cage. Today, the public now knows that this concern is concrete and undeniable. EVERYONE is being watched. Reports now estimate that NSA hackers harvest over 2.1 million gigabytes of data on American citizens per hour. 7) Privacy rights have been so debased that the invasion of our electronic communications is the least of our worries. The Supreme Court has ruled in Maryland v. King that police now have the authority to extract DNA samples from any person placed under arrest, without a warrant, and without due process. This means that the second a law enforcement officer places you in cuffs, your genetic materials are no longer your property, even if the charges against you are erroneous (if charges are ever filed at all). The government admits to having at least 10 million people catalogued in their genetic database already. 8) Since 9/11, U.S. cities have added approximately 30 million new CCTV cameras on top of those already in operation. After the Boston Bombing, even more are expected to be installed. There are few places in most major cities where you are not being watched, and even smaller municipalities with miniscule crime rates are beginning to follow suit. It would seem that our government has somehow overlooked the 4th Amendment of our Constitution, and statist rationalists would do well to study it before defending their actions. Lets read it, shall we? The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Now lets examine the arguments of the establishment in favor of the Surveillance State: Argument #1: Mass Surveillance Has Been Going On For A Long Time And Is Nothing New Dianne Feinstein and Lindsey Graham, perhaps the most evil political duo since McCain and Lieberman, have both used the above talking point in order to rationalize the mass surveillance of FISA and PRISM. But lets put this in perspective Feinstein and Graham are essentially saying that because the government has criminally trespassed on our privacy for years, we should not complain when we discover that the invasion was a bit more elaborate than we had originally suspected. They are saying that because we allowed them to get away with taking an inch, we might as well allow them to get away with taking a mile. This is the logical fallacy of incrementalism, and tyrants use it in their arguments all the time. Despotism rarely establishes itself overnight. Rather, it slithers slowly into the midst of a society like a parasite, and carefully entrenches itself under our skin bit-by-bit so that we do not notice until it is buried so deep we fear removing it at all. A line must be drawn in the sand eventually. Past mistakes are not a license for future failures and future regrets, and anyone who claims otherwise is trying to take something away from you. Argument #2: If Youre Not Talking To Terrorists, Then You Have Nothing To Worry About Another debate point from the bottom-feeding Lindsey Graham. First off, our Constitutional rights are not predicated on whether or not we are guilty of terrorism. Even a so-called terrorist is supposed to be protected under the Bill of Rights. The law is very clear, and this is not a negotiable position. Every American, regardless of government suspicion, has a right to privacy, and is protected from unreasonable search and seizure without probable cause. Period. Grahams argument perpetuates the fallacy that the word terrorism is somehow a magical pass-key that allows the federal government to bypass Constitutional barriers. Im sorry to tell Lindsey that he is greatly mistaken. Secondly, the very foundation of a free society requires that every person be treated as INNOCENT until proven guilty. Mass surveillance twists this principle, so that all people are treated by the state as guilty until proven innocent. Such a system will inevitably generate a vast rift between the populace and the government because it designates the political elite as the watchers and the public as the watched. As history has shown us, the watchers always become the enslavers, and the watched always become the enslaved. Im not sure why so many people, including U.S. senators, do not seem to grasp this concept. Argument #3: We Must Trust That The Government Is Using The Surveillance Apparatus For Good Barack Obama in defense of the leaked PRISM initiative and all encompassing NSA surveillance stated that Americans must simply trust that the federal system is using the data they have criminally harvested for the good of the country. That is to say, we should have faith in the White House. Im sorry, but the Constitution was written exactly because governments are run by men, NOT benevolent gods, and men are notorious for abusing power. The Constitution exists because NO government can be trusted to act in a principled manner. We do not have to trust them because tight constitutional restrictions are in place to ensure that they arent given enough slack to become dangerous. When those restrictions are diminished, we get programs like PRISM The checks and balances of due process and warrants are supposed to be absolutely public and transparent so that we can see, with our own eyes, that all is being handled justly and honorably. Mass surveillance in particular is an affront to the 4th Amendment because there is no conceivable way that warrants could ever be issued for the incredible volume of materials gathered, and therefore, there is no conceivable way that any legitimate judicial oversight is being enforced. Secret courts, secret charges, secret programs targeting entire subsections of the population, were expressly forbidden by the Founding Fathers as totalitarian in nature. In February of this year, Obama boasted during a Google Plus Fireside Chat that his was the most transparent administration in history. The ability of politicians to lie with sociopathic expertise is well documented, hence, my lack of faith. The government and the Obama White House in particular do not deserve our trust. Trust has to be earned Argument #4: Surveillance Programs Are Essential To The Safety Of The Public At this point I find that anyone who still uses the safety position to justify the trampling of our freedoms is a lost cause. Years ago, when the surveillance grid was being put into place through legal chicanery, the common skeptic would insist that such subversive laws had not yet hurt anyone, and that the concerns of the Liberty Movement were overblown. Today, its no longer about theory. Our cultural pain is real, people are being targeted, people are suffering, and its only going to get worse from here on. And, as we warned a long time ago, the concept of collective safety would be the primary persuasion technique used to lead America further into oblivion. In a race to spin the leak of PRISM, lawmakers and establishment shills have come out in droves to suggest that the secret surveillance state has stopped terrorist attacks and saved lives. Of course, because all the details of the program are classified, well never see any proof that such claims are true. What a conundrum. Frankly, I know enough about government sponsored terrorism to understand that even if PRISM thwarted an attack, our clandestine alphabet bureaucracy has created far more death and destruction than they have ever prevented. In the end, I couldnt care less if PRISM stopped a terrorist act. The point is irrelevant. Our civil liberties are not subject to the supposed success of an unconstitutional government action. The promise of safety does not nullify our rights, nor does it give government capital to do whatever it pleases. Comfort Means Death I believe the establishment has moved away from the denial of so many abuses because it hopes to convince us that this is the new normal of our society. They want us to embrace the surveillance state and become comfortable in its cradling arms. I do not plan to get comfortable. When political villains no longer fear the exposure of their villainy, it is time to start worrying. There has been a lot of unrestrained conjecture on the motivations of the suddenly world-famous Edward Snowden. The fact is we still know very little about him, and for now I will reserve judgment; partially because I know that one day people like myself could be accused of fomenting controlled opposition or working for the enemy. Our culture has become so cynical that we refuse to believe that anyone does anything anymore out of a sense of principle. Whatever Snowdens original intentions, I find his admitted reasons inspiring. When asked why he forced the truth of PRISM into the mainstream, Snowden replied: I dont want to live in a society that does these sort of things I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded. That is not something I am willing to support or live under Im willing to sacrifice all of that [career and former life] because I cant in good conscience allow the U.S. government to destroy privacy, Internet freedom and basic liberties for people around the world with this massive surveillance machine theyre secretly building. My sole motive is to inform the public as to that which was done in their name and that which is done against themI understand that I will be made to suffer for my actions. I will be satisfied if the federation of secret law, unequal pardon and irresistible executive powers that rule the world that I love are revealed even for an instant. The surveillance machine is the key to control. When each person feels the eyes of the state constantly upon them, dissent and rebellion becomes unthinkable. At the very least, those of us who are aware of the great Orwellian shift before us must take an immovable stand. The right to privacy is an inherent right of natural law. No individual or government system should be allowed legal precedence to invade my privacy, and all people have the right to be treated as innocent until proven guilty rather than guilty until proven innocent. As an individual, I do not owe the collective, or the government, a constant update on whether or not I am a threat. In fact, I dont owe anyone anything. If someone continues to treat me as an enemy and constantly tramples my natural right to privacy, I am going to fight them, and I am going to hurt them, perhaps mortally. This is what people who support surveillance society need to understand; there will be consequences for their trespasses against the natural rights of others. There can be no negotiation. There can be no compromise. The surveillance state must be erased.

2	Ford Doubles Back, Makes Massive Move To Get Behind Trump... He Was Right All Along One of the core pieces of Donald Trumps America First platform was focused on reviving manufacturing to keep jobs here in America. Now that Trump is officially our nations President-elect, we are seeing his plans turn to action. While on the campaign trail, Trump repeatedly brought up Fords decision to shift their truck production. According to reports from CNN, Fords heavy-duty pickup trucks which used to be built in Mexico, are now being rolled off to an assembly line in Ohio this week. That is amazing news for the 1,000 Ford workers in Ohiowho would likely be out of work without these jobs on the table. This is also great publicity for Ford. The company has been under fire for investing so much in Mexico. At the beginning of this year, the automaker claimed it would invest $2.5 billion in transmission plants in the Mexican states of Chihuahua and Guanajuato. Ford has received serious backlash from groups like the United Auto Workers union and Donald Trump. Our investment reinforces our commitment to building vehicles in America, Ford president Joe Hinrichs said in a statement. Working with our partners in the UAW, we found a way to make the costs competitive enough to bring production of a whole new generation of work trucks to Ohio. What do you think of Fords decision? 
3	Sign of Things to Come? Maine Now Allows Concealed Carry Without PermitBy Joshua Krause And contrary to what many of the gun grabbers would have you think, the state isnt going to turn into a Mad Max free-for-all any time soon. This is a poor piece of legislation that were all about to suffer through, Portland Police Chief Mike Sauschuck told local news station WCSH6. Ryan Reardon, Interim Kennebec County Sheriff, said he has some concern but supports the law overall. I think the scrutiny for weapons should be at the point of purchase, he told the Portland Press Herald. Previously, carrying a concealed handgun required a police-issued permit.To get one, a gun owner needed to undergo a background check and fingerprinting, take a gun safety course, fill out a six-page application and pay a $35 fee. Advocates for the law say worries about safety are unfounded. People think all of a sudden its going to be the wild, Wild West, Jeff Zimba, a firearms policy consultant and gun safety instructor who testified in support of the new laws, told the Bangor Daily News. Were finding just the opposite people are signing up for safety courses. They want more education. Theyre all saying doomsday, but were seeing just the opposite. For gun rights activists, though, there is another reason to celebrate even if youre not a resident of Maine. One could consider conceal carry rights to be a bellwether for all firearm rights. After all, letting someone carry a gun without official training or sanction is one of the biggest responsibilities that a government can relinquish to the citizenry. Its a sign that your government (at the state level anyway) trusts you to take care of your own safety, and is willing to loosen its monopoly on the use of force. If your state allows this, then its probably moving in a promising direction for Second Amendment Rights. So why should gun owners across the nation be ecstatic about this development? Because Maine is a somewhat liberal state, and the only liberal state to allow constitutional carry other than Vermont. When you start to see developments like these show up in left-leaning states, it means that pro-gun activists are winning the debate across the board. In fact, the pro-gun crowd has been winning this battle for a very long time, despite the best efforts of the gun grabbers. Take a look at how concealed carry laws have changed in this country over the past 30 years. Thats a very clear, long-term trend in favor of the Second Amendment. While Americans have lost countless rights in the same period of time, weve held on to our right to bear arms with a death grip. The fight is hardly over of course. Attacks against the Second Amendment have been escalating in recent years, while some states have still managed to tighten their grip on firearms in other ways. But as public opinion slowly shifts in the favor of gun rights, and liberal states like Maine start to loosen their laws, the future of gun rights in America is looking good. So keep up the fight, because in the big scheme of things, we are winning. 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. I moved to Maine a little over 2 years ago from the Peoples Republic of New Jersey, the most repressive firearms state in the nation. I had my concealed carry application ready from the day I got my drivers license here, but started hearing the rumors of constitutional carry to come. I waited and it is finally upon us! Its really nice to live in Free America after spending 57 years in the oppression of New Jersey! You are right that it is loaded with Liberals, and we all know how much they love the Nanny State concept but low and behold it passed anyway! When I get my ATF suppressor stamps Ill be exstatic! When you do a proper study of the 2nd Amendment , there is no way to alter or misconstrue its meaning . Any attempt at doing so by any official that has swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution must result in a conviction for treason and the appropriate punishment . 
2	Stuttering Obama Insults Veterans To Their Face, So They FIGHT BACK President Obama continues to push his anti-American propaganda, but he ran into a bit of a roadblock in Elkhart, Indiana at a town hall meeting. Thats what happens when you try to make our U.S. veterans look stupid. We have been hearing this story for decades, Obama commented at the meeting. Tales about welfare queens, talking about takers, talking about the 47 percent. Its the story that is broadcast every day on some cable news stations, on right-wing radio, its pumped into cars, and bars, and VFW halls all across America, and right here in Elkhart. VFW National Commander John A. Biedryzcki Jr. did not wait to hear anymore before setting the president straight, telling him that the VFW was not easily swayed or confused about their political learnings. I dont know how many VFW Posts the president has ever visited, but our near 1.7 million members are a direct reflection of America, Bierdryzcki commented. We dont have confused politics, we dont need left or rightwing media filters telling us how to think or vote, and we dont need any President of the United States lecturing us about how we are individual (affected) by the economy. And if youre hearing that story all the time, you start believing it, Obama continued. Its no wonder people think big government is the problem.

2	Phil Robertson Insults Women Around The World By Refusing To Do This Phil Robertson is being attacked by liberals once again, by allegedly insulting women around the world. Why? The Duck Dynasty star claims that he refuses to share a restroom with women under Houstons equal rights ordinance. His comments were made in response for the recent push for gender neutral bathrooms. For all you ladies in Texas, trust me when I tell you this, when youre seated in your restroom putting on your Maybelline, when I need to take a leak Im not going in there, Phil told his audience. America, America, it cannot be said too strongly, or too often, that this great nation was not founded by religionists but by Christiansnot on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ, he continued. Patrick Henry, great orator, one of our founding fathers said thatThe reason the political pundits argue ad hominem, ad infinitum on television night after nightthey call each other left , right, liberal, right wing, left wing, but theres never any Gospel there, ever. And we wonder why we wound up like we are, He concluded. Im not ashamed of the Gospel because its the power of God for salvation for everyone that believes first for the Jew then for the Gentle. Thats everybody. What do you think of Phils comments? 
3	UN: Syrian Rebels are Responsible for Using Chemical Weaponsselfnews Post The rebels are the ones responsible for using sarin gas and other chemical weapons, according to testimony given to medical staff and human rights workers. Reuters reports: The United Nations independent commission of inquiry on Syria has not yet seen evidence of government forces having used chemical weapons, which are banned under international law, said commission member Carla Del Ponte. Our investigators have been in neighboring countries interviewing victims, doctors and field hospitals and, according to their report of last week which I have seen, there are strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof of the use of sarin gas, from the way the victims were treated, Del Ponte said in an interview with Swiss-Italian television. This was use on the part of the opposition, the rebels, not by the government authorities, she added, speaking in Italian. The Obama Administration is continually expressing outrage at the Syrian government over what they call varying degrees of confidence that Assad used chemical weapons in the conflict. The Administration made these charges with no viable evidence or reliable intelligence. While the West tries to imply that the Assad regime is guilty of war crimes based on rumor, Israels unprovoked strike against Syria is a clear international crime in direct violation of international law. Shall we add the use of chemical weapons by the allied Syrian rebels to the list of war crimes? Read articles by selfnews Post Here linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	How the Brix Score can reduce your food billRady Ananda So, how do you measure nutrient density? The most widely favored method uses a refractometer that indirectly measures the sugar content in an aqueous solution, based on light refraction. Back in the 1800s, German mathematician Adolf Brix prepared pure sucrose solutions of known strength, measured their specific gravities and prepared tables of percent sucrose by weight vs. measured specific gravity. The unit for specific gravity of liquids, degree Brix (Bx), is named after him, though other mathematicians also developed similar tables of specific gravity of sucrose at different concentrations. For nearly 200 years, brewers and vintners have used these tables, as modified over the years, to remediate their soils to ensure the best hops or grapes. But in the 1960s and 1970s, biochemist Dr. Carey Reams popularized the use of a modified Brix Chart to determine nutrient density of fruits and vegetables. He gained a loyal following among farmers and gardeners intent on providing the highest quality produce on the market or table. In the last half of the video, Kohler recommends several products to improve your soil and thus improve the Brix Score of your produce. The Bionutrient Food Assn. advises that crops with a high Brix Score are more pest-resistant, requiring fewer external inputs for chemical farmers and a pure boon for organic gardeners. Refractometers range in price from $25 to over $300, and can be purchased from ag labs or home and garden shops. With a small investment, you can test your fresh produce, whether from the grocer or your yard and opt for the most nutrient dense foods you can find or grow. Rady Ananda is the creator of Food Freedom News and COTO Report, Rady Anandas work has appeared in several online and print publications, including four books. With a B.S. in Natural Resources from Ohio State Universitys School of Agriculture, Rady tweets @geobear7 and @RadysRant. 
3	Ocean Fertilization: Will Polluting our Waters Cause Another Ice Age?Susanne Posel, Contributor Alarmist scientist Dave Reay, a senior lecturer in carbon management at the University of Edinburgh, comments: If the 50 percent figure for algal bloom biomass sinking to the deep ocean is correct then this represents a whole new ball game in terms of iron fertilization as a geo-engineering technique. Maybe such deliberate enhancement of carbon storage in the oceans has more legs than we thought but, as the authors acknowledge, its still far too early to run with it. Back in 2010, the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), which is part of UNESCO, published a studythat approved of ocean fertilization as a preventative measure of sequestering CO2 in the deep oceans. Dr. Michael Lutz, lead author of the study, said: This discovery is very surprising. If, during natural plankton blooms, less carbon actually sinks to deep water than during the rest of the year, then it suggests that the Biological Pump leaks. More material is recycled in shallow water and less sinks to depth, which makes sense if you consider how this ecosystem has evolved in a way to minimize loss. Ocean fertilization schemes, which resemble an artificial summer, may not remove as much carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as has been suggested because they ignore the natural processes revealed by this research. Victor Smetacek, professor at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Germany, who has led research teams supporting ocean fertilization asserts: The time has come to differentiate: some geoengineering techniques are more dangerous than others. Doing nothing is probably the worst option. The Royal Society, a globalist think-tank, released a studyin 2009 that surmised that cutting man-made CO2 emissions is the first priority over safely dealing with our changing environment. Geoengineering, although a drastic measure, is justified because different attempts to mitigate carbon in our atmosphere will solve all of our problems. John Shepard, professor and head scientist of the study on geoengineering claims: It is important that we continue to research these technologies but governance of this research is vital to protect the oceans, wider environment and public interests. In 2004, a team of scientists released 7 tons of iron sulfates into the ocean near Antarctica. This caused plankton to bloom exponentially. After monitoring the project for a month, the researchers concluded that with the bloom of plankton they could assume that large amounts of CO2 had sunk to the depths of the ocean. The scientists turned the Antarctic region into a giant test tube. Victor Smetacek, of the Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany, said: I am hoping that these results will show how useful these experiments are. Smetacek says ocean fertilization should be controlled by the United Nations. He also believes that private corporations should not be allowed to conduct experiments unless mandated by the UN. Under current treaties for carbon credit tax schemes, this mode of sequestering CO2 should be combined with solar geoengineering efforts. Bill Gates has been fundingDavid Keiths Carbon Engineering corporation while funneling millions of dollars into solar geoengineering experiments. Making money on the actual scheme, as well as the manufacturing, Gates claims this inexpensive method of slowing down global warming effects. Keith disregards his peers who assert that this action will alter Earths natural weather patterns, while environmental groups decry that geoengineering nullifies their efforts to purport their campaigns to convince the public that man-made climate change is directly causational to human emissions of CO2. In their study,the researchers claimed that this experiment proved the ocean fertilization could be effectively used to sequester CO2 in the ocean and be used on a regular basis as a viable geoengineering technique. They now plan to use ocean fertilization to bury 1 gigaton of CO2 annually as greenhouse gas emissions rise. These alarmists use the fear of a climate tipping point. As these scientists continue to use the ocean waters in the Arctic as experimentation grounds, they disregard the problems they could be causing. Professor Rosemary Rayfuse, expert in International Law and the Law of the Sea at the University of New South Wales, Australia, asserted that ocean fertilization is not approved under carbon credit regulatory schemes and sale of its offsets on unregulated markets results in fraud. The dumping of CO2 into the oceans amounts to polluting the waters. Rayfuse, citing the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) stated that: There is no point trying to ameliorate the effects of climate change by destroying the oceans the very cradle of life on earth. Simply doing more and bigger of that which has already been demonstrated to be ineffective and potentially more harmful than good is counter-intuitive at best. John Cullen, an oceanographer with Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, has analyzed the data on ocean fertilization and published his findings.He concludes that these experiments are dangerous on large scales that globalists are insisting take place. We will be polluting our oceans and this will have drastic consequences on ocean life and the delicate balance of our biosphere. In essence, if ocean fertilization is pursued, they scheme would cause an Ice Age because of the effect of extreme cooling on our planet. This week it became clear just what the consequences of ocean sequestering and other forms of geoengineering would be. According to NASA satellites, an iceberg the size of Manhattan broke from the Greenland glacier. Alarmists are claiming that this proves man-made global warming is real; however, since the globalist scientific community has been polluting the oceans in the Arctic, it is quite possible that they have created the problem they claimed was happening. Scientists are looking to take advantage of the oceans to justify natural cycles and contributions to the Earths climate, while simultaneously finding new ways to exploit this resource for their globalist agendas. Under the guise of using plankton for CO2 sequestering, data is being entered into computer models to see how this new integration can be used to maximize carbon credit profits.

1	In a heartwarming display of community feeling, members of the Delray neighborhood in southwest Detroit have banded together to find Milo Patterson, 38, the latest parent to vanish in the string of mysterious abductions that has plagued the area. A local resident posts a sign in hopes someone has seen Patterson (below). Patterson, an avid sports fan and a father of three who had recently enrolled in an auto-mechanic training program, disappeared April 3, shortly after a disagreement with his wife Janine. He is 5'8', of medium build, and was last seen wearing a Tommy Hilfiger windbreaker, jeans, and tan work boots. He has a tattoo of the Michelin Man on his left bicep. 'Whatever is going on, it's terrifying,' said Clarissa Williams, who lives in the same housing complex as the missing father and has made her apartment a home base for the building's search efforts. 'It couldn't be a worse time for this tragedy. Milo's got kids, a girlfriend he mighta knocked up, and from what I've been hearing, he owes money to just about everybody.' 'We have no idea if Milo was abducted, or if he's lying hurt somewhere,' Williams said. 'All we know is that he disappeared without one word to his kids, his wife, or his boss down at Speedy Lube.' Williams said she has spent the past week collecting recent photos of Patterson and covering the area between Fort Street and the Detroit River with 'missing parent' signs. 'Milo, wherever you are, don't worry!' Williams said. 'We'll find you.' At an organizational meeting held Tuesday at the Christ the Redeemer Church, volunteers divided themselves into three search parties and began combing the neighborhood for clues. 'First place we checked was the Velvet Room over on Sunset,' said longtime Delray resident Alfredrick Brussard. 'But the bartender said he hadn't seen Milo all week. Then we went over to the Checker Bar & Grill, where he likes to go for happy hour, and his friend Art's apartment, where he watches the games.' 'We also sent a search party down to the Freddy's Towing parking lot and around by those picnic tables in Lincoln Park,' Brussard continued. 'Well, there wasn't any trace of him anywhere. It's like he vanished into thin air.' Patterson's wife Janine Ordonez explained that, before alerting police to the case, she made sure that he was really missing. 'I'm used to him disappearing now and again for a spell,' said Ordonez, tears welling up in her eyes. 'But when my payday came around and he didn't even show up, I said, 'Lord Jesus, my baby's gone.'' Neighborhood resident Clive Delapaz said he and friends held a candlelight prayer vigil on Friday for the missing man. 'It's important not to lose hope,' Delapaz said. 'God works in mysterious ways, and Milo's disappearance is all a part of His plan. We must have faith.' Hardware-store clerk Moses Mitchell, 58, led Monday's second-shift search party. 'In an emergency situation, it's important not to panic,' Mitchell said. 'I told everyone to stay calm. Especially Milo's mothershe was fixing to move in with him and Janine.' Detroit police officer Aubrayo Venzetti said the 4th Precinct has been working around the clock to find Patterson. 'We're doing everything we can to find this man,' Venzetti said. 'We've contacted federal authorities, but they seem reluctant to send additional assistance. Surprisingly, even local TV and radio stations have been slow to get involved.' As they wait for help, local community members continue their efforts. Tedaryl Kudrow, who owns a liquor store frequented by the missing man, has placed Patterson's photo on the front of his cash register. 'I'm doing what I can, and that's not just 'cause Milo was a good customer,' Kudrow said. 'Sad thing is, abductees are not the only victims in an abduction. What will happen to the children these kidnappers have left fatherless? For the sake of those kids, we have got to find Milo.' Patterson is the 53rd adult to go missing in the Delray neighborhood this year.

2	Trump Makes Major Announcement About Appointing THIS Person To His Administration According to recent reports, Trump has just reached an all-time high in the polls. Now, hes started thinking about what his administration would look like if he wins. He created quite the buzz when he announced that he was considering making former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his Vice President. Just days later, he announced that he would likely appoint Ann Coulter as Homeland Security Chief. And earlier this summer, Trump told the press that he would love to have billionaire Carl Icahn to be his Secretary of Treasury. Icahn is the founder and largest shareholder of Icahn Enterprises. He is reportedly worth $24.7 billion, making him the 31st richest person in the world. According to reports, the 79-year-old businessman is now considering the position. After last nights debate, I decided to accept @realDonaldTrump offer for Secretary of Treasury, Icahn tweeted to his followers. Seriously the methods of electing our corporate and political leaders have become completely dysfunctional. In both areas, we are in dire need of a breath of fresh air. Trump has claimed that would like to appoint Icahn because he could play a role in taking down China. I said, Carl, if I get this thing, I want to put you in charge of China and Japan. Can you handle both of them? Okay? China and Japan, Trump said during a campaign speech. And he said, Yeah, Ill do it, Ill do it, I wanna do it. What do you think? Does Trump have a strong administration building up? 
1	Inspired by an exciting school board meeting concerning a pay increase for substitute teachers, superintendent and avid educational-policy-council fan Peter Geyer put together what he dubbed a 'dream voting panel' made up of the greatest Brownsville School Board members of all time. Geyer dreams up a best-of roster that would put the '97 board to shame. Though he said it was difficult to pick just seven from all his former associates and childhood heroes, the 57-year-old filled out his legendary roster by using his own encyclopedic knowledge of the board's 100-year history, a wealth of information that includes the names, hometowns, and voting records of more than 450 members both past and present. 'Let's see, you gotta have [former school board president Bob] Donaldson on there,' Geyer told reporters, noting that Donaldson's listening, voting, and compromising skills made him, in Geyer's opinion, the most complete school board member in history. 'That's just a no-brainer. He basically put the whole board on his back in '62 and carried them to their first balanced budget in 35 years.' 'And if we're talking greatest of all time, you can't leave off District 4's Heidi Lieberman,' Geyer continued. 'District Advisory Committee in '56, School Advisory Committee in '57, the new school delay and cancellation system in '59. That's a Hall of Fame career right there.' Other members whose place on the dream board were 'automatic' and 'not up for debate' were Dale Callahan, who in 1908 was instrumental in crafting the school district's motto, 'Educating Today's Students For Tomorrow's World'; District 5's Ted Barker, whom Geyer called a solid all-around member you can really build a school board around; and eight-time District 7 representative Karen Etling. 'I know the Etling pick will raise a few eyebrows, but don't forget, she never had a chance to shine because she was a great member on a terrible board,' said Geyer, who explained that Etling's 1931 textbook-replacement initiative was 'years ahead of its time.' 'I often wonder what she would've accomplished on a board like the one we had in '72 with the 'Three- Headed Monster' of Kowalski, Graham, and 'Mediatin'' Mark Mendicus.' Geyer admitted that he briefly considered replacing Ted Barker with Bill Scheffler (District 3, 19621968), but decided that, in the end, Barker was a more naturally talented voter than Scheffler. In addition, Geyer said the fact that Barker, an African-American, broke the school board's color barrier in 1992 was too important not to take into account. According to Geyer, he 'really agonized' over his final two picks. Though he told reporters that Sam Henry was his favorite school board member growing up, Geyer admitted that Henry's habit of voting 'aye' instead of 'yes' was more flash than substance. Geyer also said that Dick Widmer would have been a shoe-in had he gone out on top with the deciding vote on the reduced-price school-lunch program in 1972, instead of returning to the board five years later as a shadow of his former self. 'Widmer looked silly trying to vote on gym-renovation proposals with the young guns of the '77 board,' Geyer said. 'It was sad.' Also failing to make the cut was former Alquina Elementary School representative and fan-favorite Frank Caldwell. 'If you talk to Vice Principal Harris, he'll tell you that Caldwell should be on everyone's dream board,' Geyer said. 'He was only on the board for one year, voted for the construction of the vo-tech building, then died in a plane crash. As far as I'm concerned, his reputation is based more on his mystique than his tangible contributions to the board.' Geyer said the final two picks ultimately had to be District 3's Molly Cuneo and District 2's Nick Bell. Bell and Cuneo both joined the board in 1979 and, according to Geyer, paved the way for future greats like Barry Delaney, Jamie Spanish, and 'Shoeless' Joe Sandusky. 'Donaldson, Bell, Cuneo, Barker, Etling, Lieberman, and Callahan,' said Geyer, shaking his head in awe. 'Can you imagine what that lineup would look like to an opposing city councilman?' 
3	Its Official: Being Poor in America Has Been OutlawedJoshua Krause The police are now fining homeless folks for any arbitrary offense they can think of, and city councils across the country are making it illegal to sleep in public. Theyve gone so far as to make it illegal to camp, or even sit or lay down in certain public areas. Worst of all, many cities are making it illegal, or prohibitively expensive to give food to the homeless. According to an interview from The Independent, with a former police chief involved in a charity dedicated to feeding the poor: Thank God there are still some people willing to do the right thing, even if it means breaking the law. In LA, things may be about to get downright draconian. If this whistleblower is to be trusted, then the city of Los Angeles is preparing to force their homeless population into internment camps. Of course it would never be called that. They would simply be referred to as low cost housing or maybe theyll just call it a homeless shelter, but with the caveat that once you enter, you wouldnt be allowed to leave. This would probably be disastrous for anyone entering the facility, as many homeless shelters are notoriously awful and dangerous places. After all, if most shelters provided a safe and healthy environment, would there really be that many people on the streets? So theyre going to make a homeless shelter that youre not allowed to leave? Im sure that place will just be a ray of sunshine wont it? But as youll see next, finding alternatives to a shelter can end disastrously if you have a family. Last month, a family in Houston had their kids taken away by CPS when it was discovered that the family had been living in a storage unit for the past three years. The family had fallen on hard times after the father had lost his welding job, and after getting a job with maintenance at the storage facility, decided that living in a unit there would be far safer for his family than a homeless shelter. By all appearances, these are otherwise lawful and caring adults just trying to provide the best they can for their family in a difficult economy. There were no reports of abuse, and the unit had air conditioning and two computers. While it lacked running water, if theyve lived there for 3 years without anyone getting severely ill, then its safe to assume that theyre doing their business in a proper bathroom somewhere else. They obviously have permission from the owners of the storage facility to live there, or they would have been kicked out a long time ago. So whats the problem? What did they do to deserve this? They happened to be poor, thats what they did. This is what it means to live in America now. If you fail to achieve a certain income, then you are now at the mercy of the authorities (or God knows who else on the streets). And if you really think about it, if the government is going to treat the poor like this, then there is no reason to have a government in the first place. I thought that the main reason we have a government, is because life without them would be hell. It would be a chaotic place where the weak are indiscriminately killed, or are abused and exploited by the strong. At least thats what weve been told. If the poor are being treated this way, then our modern society is just as much of a Darwinian struggle as it was for our primitive ancestors. If thats the case, can we even call what we live under, a government? Keep in mind, Im not asking the government to step in and help. Im not asking for them to provide free housing or increase welfare entitlements. Im asking them to stay out of the way. How could you make it so difficult for private citizens to help each other out? Perhaps what I said at first was wrong. Maybe our society isnt so bad. Future generations wont judge us for how we treat our fellow man. Plenty of private citizens have done their part to help the homeless. No. Theyll judge our government, for breaking up families, fining people with no money, starving them, and then throwing them into internment camps.

2	Michelle Obama Disrupts Patrons Dining Experience At A Local Restaurant, See How They Respond Remember the saying you just cant take them anywhere? Well, it appears that such is the case with the Obamas, who seem to have a hard time understanding what is appropriate and inappropriate to do while in a public restaurant. Shortly after Obama was condemned for cutting lines, Michelle caused quite the commotion. While Michelle stayed parked at the restaurant for nearly 90 minutes, she was approached by customer after customer, although only a handful were actually able to talk with her. Instead of interacting with her fellow Americans, Michelle sat facing the wall. According to reports, the group had more negative things to say than positive, but she was still unwilling to interact with what we assume are her only remaining fans. What do you think? What would you say to Michelle if you saw her sitting a table away? 
3	New York Just Launched a Blatantly Unconstitutional Attack on Your Freedom of SpeechBy Michaela Whitton Describing the BDS movement as an economic attack on Israel, Cuomos executive orderrequires the New York State Office of General Services to create a blacklist of institutions and companies involved in the BDS movement. All state agencies will be required to divest from such companies. In declaring the executive order sends a strong message against a hateful, intolerant campaign, Cuomo joins a long line of political leaders who assist in the whitewash of Israels war crimes by painting the BDS movement as anti-Semitic an intentional misrepresentation that is particularly ironic in view of the fact the campaign is endorsed by Israeli citizens and Jews worldwide. In February, the British government also launched a significant assault on political freedom by seeking to shield Israel from the growing pressure of the BDS movement. The controversial crackdown could see local councils, public bodies, and even university student unions in the U.K. banned by law from boycotting unethical companies. But, just as the boycott call regarding Apartheid South Africa was not racist against white South Africans, neither are legitimate political actions of the grassroots BDS campaign anti-Semitic. Consequently, the executive order has sparked outrage from activists fighting for Palestinian human rights and against Israeli settler colonialism, military occupation, and repeated military offensives on besieged Gaza. Rebecca Vilkomerson, Executive Director of Jewish Voice for Peace, called the move a McCarthyite attack on a movement for justice. She added that the order shows how out of touch the political leadership is with the growing number of Americans who support the use of nonviolent tactics to achieve freedom and equality for Palestinians. More worryingly, the New York Times reports several states have moved to support Israel and prevent governments and agencies from trading with companies or individuals who endorse boycotts. Similar bills have been introduced in both houses of the New York legislature, and a Republican-sponsored bill passed the state senate in January. At the same time Cuomo launched his chilling plan to punish human rights advocates the same week Israels occupation of the West Bank and Gaza entered its 50th year Human Rights Watch called on the International Criminal Court to open a formal probe into war crimes committed in Palestine. After nearly half a century of impunity, its time that those responsible for some of the gravest crimes pay the price, said Sarah Leah Whitson, executive director of Human Rights Watchs Middle East and North Africa Division. While few hold their breath waiting to see Israel in the dock for war crimes, others undoubtedly want the right to choose how they spend their money in the meantime. Grassroots activists, CODEPINK, have launched a petition calling for Executive Order Number 157 to be repealed, claiming New York State has no business curbing political speech by instituting the McCarthyite blacklist.

1	Representatives of the 192 remaining U.N. member states have expelled the U.S. delegation following the country's appearance last week in a compromising nine-minute video on the popular website YouTube. 'These images of the United States indulging in irresponsible, lewd, and perhaps intoxicated behavior present sufficient grounds to revoke its seat in the General Assembly,' Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced Sunday, describing the clip as 'appalling' and 'distasteful by any standard of human decency.'

In the spirit of full disclosure, Ban admitted he did smirk a bit during the drunken stapler fight. 
2	BREAKING: FBI Director Comey And Hillary Clinton Just Got Some Very Bad News Day After Shes Cleared FBI Director James Comey is scheduled to appear before Congress today to explain his decision not to recommend charges against Hillary Clinton, over her careless handling of classified information on her private email server. Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, told Fox News on Wednesday that Comey has agreed to answer questions. The FBIs recommendation is surprising and confusing, Chaffetz commented. The fact pattern presented by Director Comey makes clear Secretary Clinton violated the law. Individuals who intentionally skirt the law must be held accountable. Congress and the American people have a right to understand the depth and breadth of the FBIs investigation. In Comeys controversial announcement on Tuesday, he described the former secretary of states actions as extremely careless, which sounds a lot like gross negligence. The FBI director also confirmed that 110 emails were determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. And eight of those emails contained Top Secret information. By stopping short of referring the results of his bureaus year-long probe to the Attorney General to pursue an indictment, Comey may have removed the biggest obstacle in Clintons path to the White House, Fox News reported. Comey took no questions after his Tuesday announcement, and were sure hell have a lot of them today. 
1	Rising Democratic star John Kerry took the stage at his partys national convention Thursday night, delivering a rousing speech that many political insiders are saying may pave the way for the Massachusetts senator to make a formidable 2016 presidential run. Sen. Kerrys electrifying and thought-provoking address offered unique views on Americas place in the modern world and proves he is a force to be reckoned with in 2016, said syndicated columnist and blogger Robert Eukel, who noted the up-and-coming politician showcased a unique ability to address both sides of the political divide, demonstrating his potential to become the future of the Democratic party. His message really resonated with the audience and created the kind of energy and excitement the Democrats havent experienced in a long time. This guy has got it. Political analysts are already comparing Kerry to former Florida governor Jeb Bush, whose invigorating speech at last weeks Republican National Convention has already been credited with helping to establish him as one of Americas most prominent conservative leaders.

3	New Study Shows How LSD Affects Your BrainBy Derrick Broze A new study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) has shown what exactly happens in the human brain during visual hallucinations caused by LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide). The researchers gave doses of LSD, also known as acid, to 20 volunteers and then used brain scanning techniques to visualize how the chemical alters the brain. Of particular interest is the discovery that during an LSD trip the volunteers brains were contributing to visual processing in a new and unique way. We observed brain changes under LSD that suggested our volunteers were seeing with their eyes shut albeit they were seeing things from their imagination rather than from the outside world, said Dr Robin Carhart-Harris, from the Department of Medicine at Imperial. We saw that many more areas of the brain than normal were contributing to visual processing under LSD even though the volunteers eyes were closed. Furthermore, the size of this effect correlated with volunteers ratings of complex, dreamlike visions. Carhart-Harris explains that typically independent networks within the brain perform separate specialized tasks, but under the influence of LSD there is no separation between these networks and instead, a more unified brain. Our results suggest that this effect underlies the profound altered state of consciousness that people often describe during an LSD experience. It is also related to what people sometimes call ego-dissolution, which means the normal sense of self is broken down and replaced by a sense of reconnection with themselves, others and the natural world, Carhart-Harris explained. What he described is also sometimes known as an ego-death. The researchers also discovered that LSD seems to reset users brains to a state not unlike an infant. In many ways, the brain in the LSD state resembles the state our brains were in when we were infants: free and unconstrained. This also makes sense when we consider the hyper-emotional and imaginative nature of an infants mind. Carhart-Harris was also involved in a 2010 study which investigated the effects of psilocybin mushrooms in treating anxiety, depression and PTSD. Carhart-Harris managed the Imperial College brain imaging study for the last six years, examining the brain activity of individuals suffering from depression during psilocybin sessions. In order to understand how psilocybin creates its effects and how those effects alter brain activity the team worked with specialists in the mathematical modeling of brain networks. When we looked at our initial data with psilocybin we saw very clear overlaps between how psilocybin was working in the brain and how other effective depression treatments were working in the brain, Carhart-Harris said. Carhart-Harris and his team discovered that under a dose of psilocybin the brains default mode network, connected to high-level thinking in humans, became chaotic and disorganized, specifically in the area of the brain which is believed to be linked to sense of self. Carhart-Harris spoke about an increased level of entropy in the more primitive networks of the brain, indicating a higher number of potential brain states available to volunteers while under psilocybin. Another study done in 2006 also confirmed the benefits of so-called psychedelics. Roland Griffiths, a psychopharmacologist at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and a team of researchers published a groundbreaking article in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, Psilocybin Can Occasion Mystical-Type Experiences Having Substantial and Sustained Personal Meaning and Spiritual Significance. The paper concludes that, When administered under supportive conditions, psilocybin occasioned experiences similar to spontaneously occurring mystical experiences. Two-thirds of those involved in the sessions described them as being among the most meaningful experiences of their lives. In a 2014 study Griffithss lab looked at the the possibility of treating nicotine addiction with psilocybin, the psychedelic component of magic mushrooms. Participants had three psilocybin sessions and three cognitive-behavioral therapy sessions to diminish cravings. Eighty percent of those who received the psilocybin treatments abstained from nicotine for over six months, while less than 7 percent of those who received traditional nicotine-replacement therapy were successful for more than six months. Those who reported a mystical experience had the most success in breaking their addiction. What does this new research tell us about the potential of these substances? Will our society evolve to the point of allowing individuals to experience true cognitive liberty, including the right to ingest psychedelics for recreational or medicinal purposes? If we are not free to alter our own minds, especially with tools that possess such potential, are we really free? Derrick Broze is an investigative journalist and liberty activist.

If youve ever done acid you dont need this study and you should have already concluded that you are NOT free. Thats nothing! Researchers at The University of Florida discovered that psilocybin can not only heal damaged brain cells, but actually grow brain cells that never existed! For that reason we can expect the completely harmless hallucinogen to remain a controlled substance, so Big Pharma can make patients pay out the nose for a naturally occurring medicinal by being required to buy it from Big Pharma. 
3	One Million Robots: Our Replacements Have ArrivedNicholas West Foxconn is a Chinese electronics manufacturer of mobile devices and gaming consoles. The company has been the target of negative news lately about work conditions that have led to mutiny and suicides. They are a supplier of Apple, Kindle, Xbox 360 and others, so the spotlight has been shining. Now it seems that Foxconn would like to replace these troublesome humans demanding rights and fair pay with robots. The first fleet has arrived Foxconns plants have the population of entire cities; the largest is known as Foxconn City and is estimated to have upwards of 450,000 workers and covers 1.6 square miles. The Foxconn plants are together responsible for the assembly of 40% of the worlds consumer electronic products. What happens at Foxconn should signal a trend for what is likely to happen elsewhere. (Source) As Singularity Hub reports, Foxconns president Terry Gau did not hide the fact that his company was seeking to replace parts of his human force with robots; he indicated last year that he intended to replace 1 million workers within 3 years: There is no doubt that robots are changing the world; it is an industry that is growing magnificently. In China alone the industrial robotics market has grown 136% in three years between 2008-2011, with an additional 15% projected for 2012. This trend is leading to predictions that by 2014 China will become the worlds top consumer of robotics as well. With such outstanding results in both production and consumption beginning to transform Chinas economy, will this force a reshoring initiative in America as some proponents of robotics suggest? Or is this merely the first salvo fired against the increasingly expensive employment and management of the human race? While robots are still being sold as replacements only for menial jobs that humans supposedly dont want, there is every indication with the rise of artificial intelligence that we are likely to see more skilled jobs going to robots in the future. And with advances in autonomous robots, even the current corporate management who seeks to replace their employees might one day find themselves out of a job.

2	The Great State Of Texas Does Something AMAZING In Support Of Our Police Officers [SEE PHOTOS] According to recent reports, more than 8,000 showed up in Houston, TX to participate in the #policelivesmatter march. The crowd, who was rebelling against recent violence against law enforcement and the Black Lives Matter movement, were wearing t-shirts with the message: Police Lives Matter. The protesters reportedly stretched a mile long, and were spotted singing the National Anthem, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, and saying a prayer for our countrys officers. The catalyst for the march was the death of Deputy Goforth, who was murdered recently. What do you think? Do you support these protesters and what they stand for? Is this an example of how peaceful protesting is much more effective than violence? 
1	SEYMOUR, INLocal authority figures and townspeople assembled Monday at Seymour Town Hall to call for the closure of the town's controversial roughhouse, alleging that it has caused countless scrapes, bumps, and bruises since it opened in 1986. Authority figures at City Hall call for the closing of the roughhouse (below). 'We're fed up,' said Dolly Geary, the local PTA chairwoman and a co-founder of the Task Force Against Skinned Knees. 'That place is dangerous. It needs to be shut down before someone gets hurt.' The roughhouse, a crude wooden shanty erected on a vacant lot in the southwestern edge of the city, serves as the site of activities that Geary characterized as rowdy. She said screaming, giggling, and 'slamming sounds' often emanate from the structure, especially when school isn't in session. 'I'm tired of people asking 'Where's the rumpus?'' Geary said. 'We know darn well where it is, and it's about time we did something about it.' While roughhousers have never reported injuries more severe than minor skin abrasions, pulled hair, squeezed ribcages, and hyperventilation, authority figures said greater harm could occur if the antics continue unchecked. 'I'll bet that place is littered with rusty nails,' Geary said. 'It's all fun and games now, but when someone gets lockjaw, who'll be laughing?' Neighbors report that they are losing patience with the racket that emanates from the roughhouse. 'You tell them to knock it off until you're blue in the face,' said Larry Diggs, a task-force member and high-school shop teacher who lives across the street from the roughhouse. 'Sure, it'll quiet down for a minute, but as soon I turn my back, the squeals and thuds start right up again.' Area Roughhouse Little is known about what goes on inside the roughhouse, as its visitors are reluctant to snitch. Seymour authority figures have not visited the roughhouse personally, for fear of slipping and breaking their necks. Former roughhouser Will Keegan provided clues to the place's seemingly irresistible attraction. 'Aw, yeah, the good old roughhouse,' said Keegan, 22. 'Haven't thought about it in years. Does it still have that ratty old mattress? We used to crouch on the windowsill and leap onto the mattress. You had to have good aim, because anyone who missed and hit the floor got beaten with Wiffle-ball bats as punishment. Oh, and that grocery cart! Is that still there, too?' Roughhouse proponents like Keegan argue that the horseplay remains voluntary, and that risk of injury is low because total wusses aren't allowed inside the structure. Brad Martinelli, an area resident who frequented the roughhouse during his youth, said his years inside instilled him with a sense of confidence and belonging. 'Even though I was failing at school and struggling with my parents' divorce, the roughhouse showed me that I could win a good chicken fight or worm my way out of a half-nelson,' Martinelli said. 'I'm sure that even the queers who got smeared knew it was all in fun.' This defense has failed to satisfy roughhouse opponents, who maintain that the site is an eyesore, a nuisance, and a recipe for trouble. 'If we don't take action now, the problem could get worse,' nurse practitioner Shirley Stotts said. 'I don't want Seymour to go the route of Muncie, which has a big roughhousing development right downtown. Police are always getting called there to break up giant monkey piles.' With so many grown-ups, from librarians to softball coaches, calling for the roughhouse's closure, it seems likely to soon go the way of the giant mud hole, a downtown mud-pie-making location shut down in 1997.

2	What Obama Did At The Annual Iftar Dinner Was Will Make You FURIOUS According to recent reports, Riham Osman, the communications coordinator for the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) just rubbed Republicans the wrong way after she described Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as sponsors of terrorism. Osmans comments were made at the annual White House Iftar Dinner, where she sat next to Barack Obama. Last July, during Israels war against Palestinian terror group Hamas, Osman had the nerve to claim that Israel had murdered 1,000 innocent civilians. She went on to say that if the devil was in human form it would look, speak, and act like Netanyahu. Were not surprised that ignorant comments like this are coming from the leader of a group founded by the Muslim Brotherhood. But we should be infuriated that this is the company that our President chooses to keep. What do you think? Does Obama need to be out of the White House immediately?

Frompovich John has been in the Federal Correctional Institution in Loretto, Pennsylvania, since February 2013 sentenced as a whistleblower for exposing the waterboarding of al-Qaeda prisoners that was taking place in Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba. For that humane and heroic act, John got the book thrown at him by the Obama administration when he was sentenced to 30 months in prison on January 25, 2013. Readers can learn more about John Kiriakou, an amazingly intelligent and compassionate human being, by reading his profile at Wikipedia. [2] Writing to John over the past months, I learned that he and I have much in common on a personal level, even though Im old enough to be his mother. We have similar religious backgrounds and even lived within a few miles of each other when my late husband and I lived in Northern Virginia. Both of us are native Pennsylvanians. John and I even celebrate birthdays within a week of each other. Ive come to think very kindly of John and empathize with his plight going to prison when those who did the crime dont get the time, but got off scott-free! In Johns last letter to me October 4th, part of which I will share with readers below, he tells great news that echoes of what similarly is posted on Wikipedia, Would readers like to help out in getting John Kiriakou, a true American folk herocertainly the federal government does not consider him a heroreleased earlier from prison? I certainly would hope so, and even would consider it a favor if readers would write letters to the people John lists in his letter, plus contacting readers respective members of Congress, which you can access here http://www.contactingthecongress.org/. John has five kiddies at home waiting for the return of their daddy. He tells me that when he gets out, he expects to teach again at Liberty University in Virginia. Id like to see that happen sooner than later. Thanks for whatever you can do. Notes: [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Kiriakou [2] Ibid. [3] Ibid.

3	First GMO Corn, then Frankenfish, and Now Get Ready for Designer BabiesBy Janet Phelan The first week in December, delegates from the top three gene-editing countriesChina, the UK and the USmet in Washington, DC for a symposium on the future of gene-editing. For those not familiar with the parlance, gene editing refers to the ability to alter the DNA of an embryo in a manner which affects the germline. The germline is defined as follows; In biology and genetics, the germline in a multicellular organism is that population of its bodily cells that are so differentiated or segregated that in the usual processes of reproduction they may pass on their genetic material to the progeny. In other words, what happens to the germline will affect the offspring and subsequent generations. The possibilities inherent in such manipulation are staggering. Not only could genetic diseases be removed from the developing embryo, but new and better attributes could be factored in. Mankind could face the possibility that crippling genetic diseases, such as Tay-Sachs or Huntingtons Disease could be forever banished, while a brave new crop of humans, with enhanced intellectual abilities or enhanced musculature, for example, could be harvested. The symposium was convened with some urgency after the disclosure that researchers in China had reported this past April that they had launched the first attempt to edit the DNA of human embryos. The Chinese project was undertaken to correct a rare and often fatal blood disorder, called beta thalassemia. Chinas effort was followed by an application, made in September, by a British research group to edit human embryos for research purposes. Behind all this gene editing lies a new technology, which works like the find and replace function on a word processor. The most popular in this new buffet of tools is the Crispr-Cas9, which was invented by Dr. Jennifer Doudna. Dr. Doudna is a Professor of Chemistry and of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley and has also been an investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute since 1997. The Crispr-Cas9 works in the following mannerfirst it locates the gene to be edited, then makes the desired alteration, either by deleting it or fixing it. Doudna has virtually revolutionized medicine with her invention, which is reportedly simple to use. The symposium was expected to produce a call for a moratorium on this research, while the ethical implications could be sorted out. Surprisingly, that is not what eventuated. The final formal statement by the International Summit on Human Gene Editing Organizing Committee in fact left the door open. The Committee, which is comprised of ten scientists and two bioethicists, called on the Big Three in gene editing to take charge: We therefore call upon the national academies that co-hosted the summit the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and U.S. National Academy of Medicine; the Royal Society; and the Chinese Academy of Sciences to take the lead in creating an ongoing international forum to discuss potential clinical uses of gene editing; help inform decisions by national policymakers and others; formulate recommendations and guidelines; and promote coordination among nations. In a non-binding recommendation, the Committee also called for the inhibition of gene editing on viable embryos, stating if in the process of research, early human embryos or germline cells undergo gene editing, the modified cells should not be used to establish a pregnancy. The three day conference, which was attended by science heavyweights (as well as by some family members with sick children), resulted in an airing of some of the issues surrounding this new science. Harvards George Church made a presentation which propounded a viewpoint that mitigated concerns about the fall- out from gene editing. Dr. Church, who is a Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School, has written articles supporting germline editing and diminishing the possible repercussions. In a recent article in Nature, he wrote, Human-germline editing is not special with respect to permanence or consent. Replacing deleterious versions of genes with common ones is unlikely to lead to unforeseen effects and is probably reversible. Even if the editing was difficult to reverse, this would not be especially unsafe compared with other commonly inherited risks. In 2005, Church launched a project called the Personal Genome Project. In this effort, which is billed as the worlds only open-access information on human genomic, environmental trait data, individuals are recruited to have their own genome analyzed and recorded. Church is also involved in doing gene editing in pigs, for the purpose of removing problematic retroviruses which might stand to cause problems in using pig organs as replacement for failing human organs. Marcy Darnovsky of the Center for Genetics and Society disagrees with the notion that genetic editing is unlikely to result in unforeseen results. The medical arguments are tenuous and the possible social consequences are grave, said Darnovsky. In a subsequent article in the Guardian, Darnovsky wrote: The recognition that scientists alone cant decide whether to deploy this society-altering technology is perhaps the summits most positive outcome. Already, more and more non-scientists are becoming aware of whats at stake for all of us, and realizing that germline gene editing is a social and political matter, not just a scientific one. John Harris could not disagree more heartily. Harris, a Professor of Bioethics at the University of Manchester, believes that this technology provides the possibility for human enhancement on a grand scale and should be employed as soon as the wrinkles are ironed out. Harris has stated; We all have an inescapable moral duty: to continue with scientific investigation to the point at which we can make a rational choice. The laws governing gene editing are in many locations inexplicit, to say the least. The UK permits licensed experiments on embryos up to 14 days, but not implantation in a woman. Some British scientists are agitating for a change in these laws. Chinas laws are considered to be ambiguous, as are South Africas, Chiles and Argentinas. The US government has made it clear it will not fund any gene editing research which involves viable embryos. However, by adopting this policy without passing legislation banning the practice, the US has inadvertently (or otherwise) opened the door for private labs to accommodate rich people who want to have designer babies. One wouldnt want to state this was the goal, after all. Would one? Designer babies for the wealthy, while the rest of us lump along with our genetic baggage? This begins to sound almost like the engineered societies that science fiction novels warned us about. The (US) National Academy of Sciences and National Academy of Medicine have issued a press release announcing a data gathering meeting in February to study the ethical and social implications of gene editing.

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. Elites like the British aristocracy would still need another ten thousand years or so to become a separate sub-species of human but theyd cretinize themselves through inbreeding first. Genetic engineering is a step which wont even be todays elite with a claim to superiority (unless they restrict it to themselves), so a whole new elite will be created. Theyll likely have an enhanced alpha- instinct and sense of entitlement while their lack of value for our lives and their will to war against each other will be apocalyptic. Biblical. Wow just staggering, Liberals with some Gene splicing could possibly give them brains. But then they wouldnt be Liberals. But at least there would be less of them. This fits quite well into the mentality and superiority complex of the liberal elites. I kinda would like to have Rogues (marvel Xmen) powers. People should think twice about this process! Theres always unforeseen consequences. In theory, then once a GMO baby matures and mates, passing that gene, they either pay Monsanto a fee for the rest of that persons life or get an abortion? Monsanto and other corporations in the business will need to monitor individuals for unauthorized pregnancies? Tonto, were not in Kansas anymore! Here comes the brave, new world order First trait eliminated should be liberalism. 
1	Not long after he happened to pass through a bustling office Friday morning, stock-photo model scout Andrew Sheeran revealed to colleagues that he had seen something very special in a man he had spotted wearing business attire and crossing his arms. The second he sat down on the edge of that desk, folded his arms, and stared ahead intently, I knew this guy was a natural, Sheeran said of the clean-cut, dark-haired 35-to-45-year-old man. I can definitely picture him shaking hands with a smiling Asian woman or standing in front of a projector screen pointing to a pie chart. Who knows, maybe he could be on the cover of a workplace guidelines pamphlet some day. He has the potential, thats for damn sure. Sheehan added that the last time he had come across such raw talent was back in 1997, when he first saw famed stock-photo model Hank Felder sit down at a desktop computer, grimace, and run a hand through his hair. 
3	Agenda 21, Technocracy, and the New World Order in the Russian FederationBy Rusticus Todays game? Agenda 21. Its playing piece of choice? The seemingly autonomous nation of Russia. To those still invested in the BRICS Saviour paradigm, Russias compliance with United Nations Agenda 21 and the collective tyranny accompanying it may come as a shock; to the student of Deep Politics, its merely forensic history. Long before the advent of themoderndigital dictatorship prescribed by Agenda 21, the dream of Smart Cities wasalive and well in the consciousness of burgeoning Technocrats perhaps most notably, in the early Twentieth Century, in the USSR. Taking cues from American developmentslike Technocracy, Inc. and the ruthless efficiency of the assembly line, the Cybernetic central planners of Bolshevism attempted what, to them, seemed a natural synthesis: A seamless integration between the social engineering of the State and the mechanical/electrical engineering of the Industrial Era. Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country. Vladimir Lenin Lenins call for the electrification of the Proletariat, when made in 1920, seemed benevolent enough; the elimination of ignorance and poverty and the liberation of peasants from a subsistence agricultural life certainly dont strike one as overtly laying the seeds for totalitarianism. Yet whatever Lenins original intent for the USSRs electrification and the New Soviet Man it was poised to create, his death in 1924 saw the end of his management of this vision. The gambit for the creation of this New Soviet Man, like the Nietzschean Superman before it and the transhuman of today, was instead implemented by Josef Stalin. Utilizing a curious coalition of Bolshevik elites, anti-Bolshevik Tsarist bourgeois engineers, and American industrialists, the now infamous public-private partnership, so indivorcible from Agenda 21, was born. The electrification plan was unlike any before in history. It wasnt just about building power stations. Its aim was to construct a new type of human being. Vitalii Semyonovich Lelchuk, USSR Academy of Sciences One of the more widely known examples of these Soviet Smart Cities, Magnitogorsk, was in fact a direct copy of Gary, Indiana. Structured around a centrallymanagedsteel mill, the citys masterplan was even drafted by the same American Technocrats who originally built Gary. Many American engineers, inspired by Garys Cybernetic faculties, went so far as to emigrate to the USSR to offer their expertise to the project: Eerily foreshadowing the predicament faced by Free Humanity in the midstof Agenda 21, little of Magnitogorsks post-1937 history is known to us, as it became a closed citythe very type of strictly managed urban useenvisioned by the ruling caste of today. Lesser known than the American emulation that was Magnitogorsk, the documented collaboration between the supposedly anti-Capitalist Bolsheviks and the Ford Motor Company in the city of Nizhni-Novgorod (also known as Gorki) is laden with Deep Political implications. Originally uncovered by Hoover Institute researcher Professor Antony C. Sutton in his 1986 publication,The Best Enemy Money Can Buy, the Gorki-Ford joint venture yielded not only prolific automobile production, but Soviet military equipment as well. In May 1929 the Soviets signed an agreement with the Ford Motor Company of Detroit. The Soviets agreed to purchase $13 million worth of automobiles and parts and Ford agreed to give technical assistance until 1938 to construct an integrated automobile-manufacturing plant at Nizhni-Novgorod. Construction was completed in 1933 by the Austin Company for production of the Ford Model-A passenger car and light truck. Today this plant is known as Gorki. With its original equipment supplemented by imports and domestic copies of imported equipment, Gorki produces the GAZ range of automobiles, trucks, and military vehicles. All Soviet vehicles with the model prefix GAZ (Gorki Avtomobilnyi Zavod) are from Gorki, and models with prefixes UAX, OdAZ, and PAZ are made from Gorki components. Prof. Antony C. Sutton, The Best Enemy Money Can Buy These Ford/Gorkicars and truckspopulated not only the streets of Warsaw Pact nations, but also its battlefields; the aforementioned model numbers identified by Sutton, produced from 1930 through to the present, areoften modified for military use as armored trucks and mobile missile platforms. Much to the confusion of American soldiers in Vietnam and Korea, taken aback that Communist armored trucks bore a striking resemblance to their own, these infantrymen were unknowingly treated to a rare glimpse behind the curtain of the Anglo-American Empires proverbial sausage factory: The Military-Industrial Complex and its terrifying global scope, knowing no ideological bounds but the aspiration of Power. As previously demonstrated in my article enumerating General Motors support to both the Nazis of yesteryear and theeco-Fascists of today in the form of Chinese smart cities, American automotive companies have a long and storied history of greasing the wheels for Globalist projects; in this respect, Ford does not disappoint, as the BRICS have welcomed Ford and theSmart Car concept with open arms not only in China, but Russia as well. Leveraging Russias longstanding ingenuity in space and rocketry technology, Ford has partnered with St. Petersburg State Polytechnic University to create a truly global, self-driving snitch car network by linking every automobile the world over via satellite. Of this particular public-private partnership, Safe Car News reports: While much has changed on the 2D chessboard of geopolitics since the era of Stalinist Five Year Plans, the increasingly interconnected3D supranational game has remained a static field for nearly a Century clearly exemplified by the longstanding desire of both international companies like Ford and regional powers such as Russia for the Technocratic subjugation of human populations the world over. No Good Guys, no Bad Guys, just Globalists and those who refuse to be collectivized. Staunchly in the camp of Team Multipolar World Order, the Trilateral Commission, previously exposed by this author as financiers for Smart Cities throughout the Asia-Pacific, havent neglected to do the same in Eastern Europe. As inChina, Russias UN-compliant Smart Cities are, in part, financed by corporations heavilyaffiliated with theTrilateral Commission. Kazan Smart City, Russias analogue to Chinas Tianjin Eco-City, is the same Technocratic dystopia represented by Agenda 21 projects the world over. You can read all about the future of human serfdom in Kazan Smart Cityscolorful pamphlet. The boundless and global tentacles of Agenda 21 have slipped over the impenetrable BRICS wall intoeach and every anti-Hegemon nation, with Smart City startup capital from the Trilateral Commission in tow. Kazan joins the deleterious coalition of Kashiwa no-ha in Japan, Songdo in South Korea, the aforementioned Tianjin Eco-City, and numerous others subsumed by the Trilateralist vision of Zbignew Brzezinskistechnetronic era. Even the mighty Bear of the East is not immune. Kazans Trilateral connection comes by way of its public-private partnershipwith German multinational giant Allianz, whose American subsidiary, PIMCO, is infamous for hiring former Fed chairmen as Senior Economic advisers most recently, Ben Bernanke. As the Trilateral Commissions official rosters dating back to at least 2011 demonstrate, Allianz has consistently placed Trilaterals in key positions within its corporate hierarchy: Some of whom have some rather interesting affiliations themselves: In spite of the Commissions regular removal of outdated rostersfrom its website, the 2011 and April 2015 rosters cited herein are still available via the Wayback Machine an ironic example of the digital Panopticon working in favor of Free Humanity. Unfortunately, Kazan isnt even the most egregious example of sustainable development within Russias borders; that honor goes to Skolkovo Innovation Center, a planned Smart City to be erected outside of Moscow. Dubbed as Russias Silicon Valley by its proponents, Skolkovos envisioned Technofeudal design will be all too familiar to Agenda 21 researchers a sustainable city run by a coalition of experts and machines, with individuals subordinate to the Cybernetic collective: What makes Skolkovo particularly noteworthy, however, is not its cookie-cutter UN-mandated design, nor its wholehearted approval by the Kremlin, but the uniquepublic-private partnershipsunderlying its development. The project is a venerable smorgasbord of Military-Industrial Complex firms, cybersecurity companies, and multinational corporations most of whom are heavily associated with (you guessed it) the Trilateral Commission. SkolkovosTrilateralist connections, though, simply cannotbe overlooked: BOEING DOW GENERAL ELECTRIC (GE) INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES (IBM) SAMSUNG SIEMENS Anglo-American vision, Trilateral Commission cash, and Russian collectivist engineering what could possibly go wrong? Surely, Reader, youre already planning your trip; just remember, those with combustion engine-based transportation need not apply! History doesnt repeat itself, but it does rhyme. Mark Twain It may be difficult for one to separate the ongoing conflict between the Anglo-American Establishment and Moscow in the realm of geopolitics, particularly as a fierce proxy war between the two over the Leviathan gas fields planned transit line to Europe rages on in Syria; but the contrast between this 2D chessboard and the multilateral, multipolar 3D chess match cannot be more stark. The Kremlin, echoingthe Peoples Bank of China, have called for an end to the Dollar as world reserve currency to be replaced not by the Yuan, Ruble, or gold, but the IMFs Special Drawing Rights: Russia, like China and every other UN member state to date, has taken the sustainable bait knowingly or unknowingly, she has set herself onthe path of resurrecting the dream of the USSRs planned cities of olde, ignoring the nightmare they actually came to represent. Like the Soviet power elite of the 20th Century, Russias modern power elite have turned to Anglo-American financiers and Globalist Machiavellian schemers in fulfilling this mandate, even as bullets fly in Syria and Ukraine. From Magnitogorsk to Kazan, from Gorki to Skolkovo, the vision of Technocracy lives on. So, too, do the Globalist entities positioned to pick up the pieces after an engineered conflict between East and West. My advice to you, Reader?

3	Evidence-Based Medicine: A Coins Flip Worth of CertaintySayer Ji, Contributor A seismic shift is occurring in the field of evidence-based medicine that a rare few are aware of, but which will (and likely already does) affect everyone, as the standard of medical care today largely follows from this model. The very lifes blood of evidence-based medicine peer-reviewed and published clinical research results which legitimizes the entire infrastructure and superstructure upon which conventional medical knowledge and practice is erected, has been revealed as mostly and patently false. Case in point: in a 2005 essay, Why Most Published Research Findings are False, and which is the most downloaded document of all time on PLoS, the Public Library of Medicines peer-reviewed, open access journal, John P. A Ioannidis explains in detail how It can be proven that most claimed research findings are false. And that for many current scientific fields, claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias. The Atlantic published a piece on Ioannidis work, back in 2010, titled Lies, Damned Lies, and Medical Science, well worth reading, and which opened with Much of what medical researchers conclude in their studies is misleading, exaggerated, or flat-out wrong. So why are doctors to a striking extent still drawing upon misinformation in their everyday practice? Ioannidis work revealed that about half of the most highly regarded research findings within evidence-based medicine are either wrong, or significantly exaggerated: [Ioannidis] zoomed in on 49 of the most highly regarded research findings in medicine over the previous 13 years, as judged by the science communitys two standard measures: the papers had appeared in the journals most widely cited in research articles, and the 49 articles themselves were the most widely cited articles in these journals. Of the 49 articles, 45 claimed to have uncovered effective interventions. Thirty-four of these claims had been retested, and 14 of these, or 41 percent, had been convincingly shown to be wrong or significantly exaggerated. If between a third and a half of the most acclaimed research in medicine was proving untrustworthy, the scope and impact of the problem were undeniable. That article was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Time magazine wrote about Ioannidis findings the same year with a piece titled A Researchers Claim: 90% of Medical Research is Wrong the title of which speaks resoundingly for itself. Keep in mind that the gold standard of the multi-trillion dollar conventional, evidence-based medical model is the very research that Ioannidis now says is mostly false. This model, which apparently thrives despite, or even because of, its falsity, largely determines what drugs are used, what surgical procedures employed, or conversely, what treatments can not be used, e.g. vitamins, spices, etc in disease prevention or treatment. It also shields those who practice this dominant and only truly legally-sanctioned form of medicine against the potential calamity of moral, criminal, and financial liabilities it is responsible for that is, as long as the truth continues to remain buried. How many folks, for instance, are aware that the Cochrane Database Review on preventing influenza in healthy children with flu vaccines shows that the evidence proving their safety and effectiveness in children under two (the population most susceptible to vaccine-induced injuries) is conspicuously lacking? Why would anyone question the rationality of vaccinating infants and young children against influenza when the CDC and FDA presents it as unequivocally safe and effective? As the review states: It was surprising to find only one study of inactivated vaccine in children under two years, given current recommendations to vaccinate healthy children from six months of age in the USA, Canada, parts of Europe and Australia. If immunization in children is to be recommended as a public health policy, large-scale studies assessing important outcomes, and directly comparing vaccine types are urgently required. Or, among the the tens of millions of Americans taking statin drugs for the primary or secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease, who among them realize that there are well over 300 adverse health effects documented in the scientific literature itself associated with the use of this chemical class of medications, including the weakening and damaging of the heart muscle? Sadly, examples like these may be the rule and not the exception. Evidence-based medicine (EBM), of course, is founded upon an epistemological power structure arranged hierarchally like a pyramid. The quality of evidence determines whether or not something can be said to be true. On the lowest tier, the base of this pyramid, is the Anecdote, considered worthless, encompassing many folk medical systems employing food and plant medicines and still used by the majority of the word as their primary care system, followed by: Cell Studies Animal Studies Human Studies Clinical Trials Meta-Analyses and Systematic Reviews of Clinical Trials. This model assumes, in the characteristically Napoleonic style, that what it does not officially confirm as being true, is not true. Herbs and vitamins, for instance, are almost never considered to be evidence-based and credible because they have not run the gauntlet of prerequisite clinical trials required for them to be verified as therapeutic within this model. The fact that our bodies, for instance, require vitamin C in order to be alive, is not evidence enough to support the concept that it may be valuable to take it supplementally at doses beyond the recommended daily value (which may keep you only a few milligrams above starvation/deficiency values). The fact is that human clinical trials can cost millions of dollars, and that in order to prove the value of a potential FDA-approved medicine, it must be taken through phase I, phase II and phase II clinical trials (which costs on average $804 million). The gold standard of evidence-based medicine therefore betrays the aphorism: those who own the gold make the standard. By principle, therefore, all natural substances, which do not lend themselves to being patented because they do not grant the manufacturer exclusivity, will never attain FDA approval as legitimate medicines. While the conventional medical system can claim this is because they lack evidence for safety and effectiveness (despite the fact that Turmeric, for instance, has thousands of years of use by millions of folks as a food and medicine), the reality is that they only lack evidence because they cannot be effectively monetized and controlled as proprietary instruments of medical power. Ultimately, Ioannadis findings reflect an inborn and potentially fatal error at the very heart of modern science itself: namely, a tendency towards scientism. Scientism is the idea that natural science is the most authoritative worldview or aspect of human education, and that it is superior to all other interpretations of life. Furthermore, scientism accepts as real and valid only those things which it can confirm empirically; those things it does not or cannot confirm it is skeptical about, e.g. homeopathy, the existence of the soul, an innate intelligence in the body, or worse, outright denies as unscientific, or quackery. For instance, a fundamental assumption of all scientific inquiry is that things are made of real, hard objects, i.e., the computer I am typing at is a conglomeration of atoms. But wait, quantum mechanics, which peers deeper into the illusion of materiality, revealed that what subtends the illusion of macroscopic things is a subatomic realm better described as comprised of fields of possibility, where particles can be at two places at once, or communicate faster than the speed of light (non-locality), etc, basically violating all the fundamental laws considered inviolable on our everyday level of macroscopic perception. So, in many ways, the deeper you take the scientific investigation, the less firm a footing you have on what really is real, and what you think you know. Also, scientism this false sense of certainty in knowing leads inevitably to medical monotheism: the belief that there is only one true and right way to prevent and treat disease, and that all disbelievers are intrinsically inferior and treated as either uneducated, insane, or as heretics, to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. This is how we arrived at our present day pseudo-scientific medical dictatorship. I say pseudo-because insofar as science means an attempt to discern the truth without bias, it is a human faculty, a yearning of the soul, a constant challenge we must meet each and every moment we try to figure something out. Science is not a brand, a possession, an exclusive faculty of a caste of scientific elite, dispensed solely through monolithic institutions. It can not claim to deny anything and everything it does not explicitly confirm without being an organ and instrument of fascism, control, divisiveness and institutionalized and compulsory ignorance and myopathy. These limitations, however, are being overcome as we speak. The revelation that the evidence-based monopoly on the truthTM is itself not based on evidence, in perhaps a majority of cases, has world historical implications. Perhaps we must go back to using our intuition, drawing from ancient dietary and natural medical practices to take back control of our health. Is the evidence of our first-hand experience any less valid than a Merck funded, multi-million dollar drug trial? It is simply a matter of whether we choose to stand firmly in, or loosely give away our power in exchange for the narcotic of blind faith in a higher, worldly power, the modern-day physician, i.e. the priest of the body, and associated scientific clergy.

1	After a stimulating three-hour conversation about personal philosophies, career aspirations and their shared passion for Thai food, tennis and Billy Joel, Portland State junior Bryan Holtzman was caught off guard by sophomore Jenny Lowe's off-handed mention of her boyfriend of three years. 'Well, that's just fuckin' great,' Holtzman said after the conversation. 'I dropped every hint in the book. You'd think she'd have picked up on it. I even asked her about her bracelet: Gift from her father, she says. Smooth sailing, I figure. Shit.' 
1	Saying he wants to show his support for the gay and lesbian community in the wake of the states recently passed religious freedom bill while at the same time acknowledging that he was excited to look at a variety of animals, local man Ryan Schutz, 32, told reporters Monday that hes torn between boycotting Indianas businesses and visiting Evansvilles Mesker Park Zoo. This is definitely an important moment to take a moral stand, but on the other hand, they have a new sun bear that I really want to seeboy, this is real tough, said a visibly anguished Schutz, noting that he definitely wanted to protest in solidarity with the states homosexual community while also stressing that it was a beautiful day out and if he got there early enough hed be able to hand-feed oats to the Bactrian camel. Its been almost a year since I was last there, and I havent even been to Komodo Cove yet. Dont get me wrong, I really care about gay rights, but this place has paddleboats, too. Im really not sure what to do here. At press time, Schutz was actively attempting to envision the gay and lesbian friends he was standing with and not Junji, the zoos red panda. 
1	No one at your new college could give even two shits about the girlfriend you left back home, a special selfnews investigation confirmed Monday. Students talking about things much more interesting than some girl you miss. 'That guy [you] acts like he's the only person in history to be separated from his high school girlfriend after leaving for college,' said your roommate, who, after examining a photo prominently displayed on your dorm-room desk, described your girlfriend as being 'not even that hot.' 'I'm sorry, but some of us are trying to actually start the next chapter of our lives here in college, so forgive me if I am not exactly on the edge of my seat about the unfolding drama of somebody's high school love.' Since relocating to your new home in the dorms earlier this month, sources report, you have gone on and on about your 17-year-old girlfriend at every possible opportunity. Worse, you have done so without apparent regard for the fact that your utterly clichd scenario could not be less interesting to your fellow students, most of whom have spent their time hooking up with each other instead of mooning over some boring high school chick they're probably never going to see again after the next few weeks. Your girlfriend Students interviewed by The selfnews confirmed no one cares that 'this is the first time [you've] tried to make a serious go of a long-distance relationship,' that '[your girlfriend] is totally worth it because she's the most special person [you've] ever known,' or about any of the other things you keep going on about to anyone within earshot. When asked to rate their interest level in your high school girlfriend, an overwhelming 93 percent of your fellow students responded 'zero.' Furthermore, when asked to list topics they would rather pay attention to than your girlfriend, they cited subjects ranging from dorm-safety procedures to cafeteria meal-card distribution policy to Earth Science 101. According to the campus-wide survey, interest was similarly nonexistent in several other areas of your life, including the fact that you were the editor of your high school yearbook, that you really miss that one cool restaurant you used to hang out at in your hometown, and that some high school buddy of yours may be coming up for a visit in a few weeks if he can get his father to lend him his car. Your girlfriend cemented her No.1 ranking as the least interesting subject on campus, however, when you became highly emotional about her at a party last Saturday after having what eyewitnesses said was 'only like, maybe two beers.' '[You] even told this one girl who obviously wasn't hitting on [you] that [you were] taken, and then proceeded to talk her ear off about how great [your] girlfriend is,' said one of your floormates, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of being trapped in another dull conversation about your girlfriend. 'What a [total pussy].' Furthermore, dorm insiders claimed that everyone is glad you won't be able to make it to the big get-to-know-each-other floor outing at the Cheesecake Factory this Thursday night at 8 p.m., as that is your scheduled chat time with whatever-her-stupid-name is. Your girlfriend could not be reached for comment, as she was busy French-kissing some high school dude as of press time. 
2	BREAKING: Harry Reid Legislation To Change First Amendment Gaining Support Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has been known for his loose conscience when it comes to decision making. It is no surprise, then, that he has decided to speak out against corporate money in political campaigns. According to Reid, dirty corporate money is a big problem in politics, and was just made even greater by the two recent Supreme Court decisions. Now, he has taken it upon himself to take on the issue, in an attempt to limit the First Amendment. Reid scheduled a vote in September to address a Constitutional amendment, that would aid in overturning the two SCOTUS decisions that allow for corporations to make donations to political campaigns. Reids amendment is designed to position Democrats favorably, while barring the Supreme Court from ever addressing the issue of campaign finances again. This partisan effort to weaken the First Amendment is the clearest proof yet of how out of touch the Democrat Majority has become from the needs and concerns of ordinary Americans and how ill-equipped they are to lead in these challenging times, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell recently told reporters. Washington Democrats have forgotten that the First Amendment is meant to empower the people, not the government. As many know, the Supreme Courts decision was based on the fact that corporations made up of people retain the right to political speech, which includes donations to campaigns. Reids amendment would limit that right. What do you think? Does Reid need to be stopped? Does his amendment need to be shut down? 
1	Following a string of similar cases among coworkers this week, local consultant Eric Hubbard confirmed today that he had finally caught the bad television show going around his office. I had a feeling I might catch it a couple days ago after Chris mentioned Season 1 was on Netflix, and by Wednesday I was home in bed marathoning the whole thing, Hubbard said of AMCs Hell On Wheels, the highly contagious western drama coworkers suspect started with Kristen in accounting and spread by word of mouth to other departments within days. Its been really bad so far. One of the worst shows Ive caught in a while, actually. Im super lethargic and I get headaches from staring at the screen too long. Ill try to go in tomorrow, but even then I might have to leave early to finish the rest of Season 3. When reached for comment, experts said the best way to avoid contracting the television show is to avoid primary contact with infected persons and stay away from public places where people may be discussing its premise and actor Commons supporting role. 
2	Marine Kicked Out Of Six Flags For Offensive Shirt, Wait Until You See What It Says Recently, Mario Alejandro, an Iraq War veteran, was not allowed to enter a Six Flags Great Adventure because of what he was wearing. He was kicked out of the park in front of his wife and children, and now Alejandro claims that the park owes him an apology. The shirt shoes an M-16 in the colors of the American flag. It also boasts the tagline, Be Calm and Fire Back. According to Alejandro, the shirt is patriotic. He claims that the shirt is designed to support the military. However, when Alejandro showed the back side of his shirt, he was told to Get out of the park. He had two options: to either buy a new shirt at the gift shop or leave. The father left the park. A Six Flags spokeswoman responded to questions about the incident by claiming that the park does not permit clothing with vulgar, offensive, or violent images or wording. What do you think? Was Six Flags wrong to turn Alejandro away? 
1	Reports from several NBA teams indicate that cheap, flimsy Chinese basketball players frequently break down and fall apart when faced with the normal wear-and-tear of an NBA season. 'We got one a couple years ago, but the foot broke,' said Rockets GM Carroll Dawson about Chinese center Yao Ming. 'Now it just sits there. We don't even use it anymore.' Said Bucks guard Michael Redd: 'It was fun playing with Yi Jianlian for the first few weeks, but then it seemed like every time we got too rough, he stopped working and we had to get him fixed. Maybe we just got a crummy one.' Some NBA GMs, however, claim that it is still worth it to buy Chinese players, as European players remain expensive and many domestic models are unreliable, unrefined, and occasionally malfunction and shoot someone. 
1	Peter Hewson learned an important lesson about the value of hard work Monday and received an exciting reward at the same time, when the local 11-year-old earned his very own G.E. AM/FM digital clock radio by selling Continental Publishers Incorporated greeting cardsa learning experience that totalled just 78 hours of work. Peter Hewson. Inset: The clock radio he earned by selling hundreds of greeting cards. 'I saw this ad in the back of a comic book,' Peter said. 'You could win all these prizes by selling cards, and one of them was a clock radio.' 'Peter had wanted a clock radio ever since he stayed at his grandma's, and there was one in the guest room,' said Karen Hewson, the industrious youth's mother. 'He really liked the idea of pop music waking him up. So when he saw a clock radio in the CPI catalogue, he was naturally very excited about the prospect of earning one of his very own.' 'Sure, we could have just gone to Shopko and bought him a much better clock radio for about $10,' Karen said. 'But how would he learn anything about life that way?' Upon seeing the sales opportunity, an excited Peter filled out the attached enrollment form and mailed it that day. Six weeks later, he received his membership packet, which featured a welcome letter from CPI president Harmon Andruss, sales instructions, a sample folder, and an informative and entertaining 'Door-To-Door Danny Wins Great Prizes The Fun Way!' comic book. Following the enclosed instructions, Peter toured his entire neighborhood, ringing doorbells and asking people if they wished to purchase greeting cards from CPI. For every order of $10 or more, Peter earned five 'prize points' redeemable for exciting prizes from the CPI catalog. Every $20 order earned him 10 points. 'I needed 200 points to get the radio,' Peter said. 'That's 22 boxes, so I really had to sell a lot of cards.' Peter's long, hard road to the alarm clock was filled with obstacles. The first major setback occurred about two weeks into his door-to-door sales odyssey, when he had visited the last of the houses within walking distance and was still well short of the 200-point mark. 'For a while, I kinda thought about giving up,' Peter said. 'But I wanted that clock radio really bad, so I started taking the city bus to other neighborhoods. And when I ran out of allowance money for the bus, I got jobs washing people's cars to get more money.' According to Andrew Hewson, the boy's father, another difficult moment came about three weeks later. 'One day, Peter came home crying because some old man had yelled at him,' Andrew said. 'Apparently, the guy was real busy when Peter rang his bell and he just spouted off at him. Peter told me he was sick of selling cards and didn't want to do it anymore.' Continued Andrew: 'I knew, though, that if I just let him give up, he'd never learn the importance of following through on things. So I gave him a long lecture about how hard life is and how people are going to yell at him every day when he has a real job. And I kept asking him if he wanted to go back and try for that radio, until he finally said yes.' 'That's my boy,' Andrew said. 'After that, the only real resistance I got from Peter was when he saw a much better clock radio than CPI offered for 75 cents at a yard sale.' So determined was Peter to earn the clock radio, when he was just five prize points away, he used his leftover car-washing money to purchase $10 worth of cards himself, finally reaching the goal he had set some three months before. Just seven more weeks would pass before his prize arrived by mail. Factoring in the time he spent studying the materials, soliciting homes, filling out paperwork and delivering ordered cards, Peter calculated that he had devoted 78 hours to the project. 'We are proud to have given young Peter a start on the road to adulthood and an exciting sales career,' said CPI spokesman Sam Hurst. 'It's hard-working young citizens like Peter that have made America the great country it is and have helped CPI become one of the nation's leading direct-sales corporations, boasting annual receipts of some $220 million last year.' Peter, for his part, is just happy to finally have his clock radio. 'Only the AM comes in, so all I can really hear is talk and news stations,' he said. 'I guess it's okay, though.' But perhaps Peter's greatest reward is the pride he has given his parents, who know that their son can accomplish whatever he sets his mind to. 'Peter's an achiever, that's for sure,' a beaming Andrew said. 'In fact, we were thinking of getting him into selling Grit magazine: There's a Bontempi table-top organ he has his eye on.'

1	Disgruntled Nets point guard Jason Kidd held a press conference Tuesday in order to publicly demand a trade to Peanutopolis, insisting that the significant size and satisfying nature of the city fully satisfied his desire to play in a major metropolitan area as well as giving him the most substantialicious chance of winning an NBA title. 'Playing all this time for the Nets has just left me rundown,' Kidd said, adding that he had told his agent he was hungry for something more. 'I can't wait to feel the long-lasting energy I'll get from the jam-packed Gooey Peanut Center.' Kidd said that if the team cannot reach a deal with Peanutopolis, he would consider playing for Chicago, Los Angeles, or Whatchamacallit.

2	BREAKING: Bush Ambassador To U.N. Drops Trump Bombshell... Bush Family Shocked In a recent interview with Radio America, former U.N. ambassador John Bolton has issued his support for Trump over Hillary. Though Bolton has been a critic of Trumps, he argued that, if the countrys not safe, everything else is secondary. I believe this is binary choice, Bolton argued. The next president will either be Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, unless Hillary gets indicted. Talk about a third-party candidate, I think, is badly misplaced. The idea of not voting at all is no better because, functionally, thats a vote for Hillary. And it may have a really harmful effect on Senate and House races where Republicans are going to be fighting hard to maintain control. Bolton argued that if Hillary is elected, wed be looking at another four years of Obamas defeatist foreign policy. To support his claim, he pointed toward Clintons autobiography, Hard Choices. In the book, which we dont expect you to have read, she gave some daunting insight into her vision for foreign policyand it doesnt look good for us. Its very hard, if not impossible, to find any real difference between what Hillary Clinton writes and what the Obama policy was, Bolton claimed. The idea somehow that Hillary would be preferable because she would be an improvement on the Obama foreign policy is badly misguided. Bolton, who served as Bushs ambassador to the United Nations from 2005 to 2008, has until this point held out on endorsing anyone during the fight for the nomination. Though, he did say he would support the Republican nominee. Its also important to demonstrate that Trump can fulfill the most important job of the presidency, which is keeping the country safe, Bolton concluded. Obviously, the economys important. Theres a lot of important issues, but if the countrys not safe, everything else is secondary. What do you think? Do you agree with Bolton? 
2	Rosie ODonnell Refuses To Back Down In Sickening Attack On Barron Trump Rosie ODonnell crossed a disturbing line when she made a twitter post questioning if Donald Trumps 10-year-old son Barron had autism. Many believe the post was intended just to get under Trumps skin. According to Breitbart, ODonnell posted a video exploring the possibility that Trumps son with Melania Trump has ASD or Autism Spectrum Disorder. Barron Trump Autistic? she wrote. If sowhat an amazing opportunity to bring attention to the AUTISM epidemic. The comedians tweet quickly sparked outrage, with social media users attacking her for going after a child. Many children and parents of children on the spectrum also took offense to the comment. ODonnell has tried to justify her actions by claiming she found it educational and informational and that her own 3-year-old daughter Dakota had been diagnosed with high-functioning autism just a few months ago. IF it is trueI tweeted from my heart it would help so much with the autism epidemic, ODonnell wrote. The comedian insisted she holds no ill will for Trumps children or for any children. Of course, she then went on to criticize Barrons father and our nations President-electso you can take her confession worth a grain of salt. 
2	BREAKING: Obama Announces The Beginning Of A New World Order And His Plans To Do... President Obama has often been criticized for his questionable association with communism and Marxism, but his recent comments regarding a New World Order are raising skepticism to a whole new level of concern. Whether people see whats happening in Ukraine, and Russias aggression towards its neighbors in the manner in which its financing and arming separatists; to whats happened in Syriathe devastation that Assad has wrought on his own people; to the failure in Iraq for Summit and Shia and Kurd to compromisealthough were trying to see if we can put together a government that actually can function; to ongoing terrorist threats; to whats happening in Israel and Gazapart of peoples concern is just the sense that around the world the old order isnt holding were not quite yet to where we need to be in terms of a new order thats based on a different set of principles, thats based on a sense of common humanity, thats based on economies that work for all people. As you can see, Obamas comments about the old order of the world would suggest that he is proposing a new universal order. All we can say, is an order under President Obama is not one we want to be subjected to. Do you agree? 
3	DoD Creating Virus-Fighting Viruses For Outbreak EmergencyBy Mac Slavo The U.S. military is now creating its own custom-made line of viruses that it hopes can be used to neutralize a deadly virus during an outbreak by out-competing with it and reproducing enough times to overwhelm a strain like HIV, Zika or Ebola. But early research also shows that the lab-created, genetically engineered dud viruses could interfere with DNA and trigger cancer, and unlike other therapeutics, will be evolving as it courses through. For now, its future is still in the hands of military scientists. But the Department of Defense sees it as very promising. via Bloomberg: A pair of brothers working in laboratories on opposite coasts of the U.S. are brewing a new approach to fighting viruses, one thats drawn interest from the military for protection against the threat of infections such as Zika and Ebola. The experimental treatment pursued by Ariel Weinberger, a Harvard University biologist, and Leor Weinberger, a virologist at the University of California at San Francisco-affiliated Gladstone Institutes, deploys a tweaked, safe version of a virus to overwhelm the form that invades and kills cells. While its very early the approach has only been tested in test tubes and animals the U.S. government is ready to invest in developing the idea and seeing whether similar mutants can protect against other diseases. . The brothers are studying bits of genetic material called therapeutic interfering particles, or TIPs [] the Weinbergers have receivedfunding from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency for exploratory studies of TIPs, and in April DARPA issued a call for more proposals. There is great promise for the research which hopes, in essence, to neutralize viruses, including those as complicated and thus far undefeated as the HIV virus: These faulty viruses are the basis for the TIPs concept, which Leor Weinberger is using to battle HIV in laboratory dishes. The engineered virus hibernates in cells until the arrival of HIV, when the lethal virus stimulates TIPs to replicate alongside it. Because TIPs genes are shorter than HIVs, they duplicate faster 10 times faster, in the Weinbergers experiments. That allows TIPs to preemptively grab resources in particular, the protein shells that allow HIV to leave the infected cell and find new hosts. As TIPs mutate, they may also continue to evolve along with the lethal viruses as they compete with them. The brothers mathematical modeling suggests that if TIPs can outrace the growth of the normal virus, these benign particles will keep the disease under control. DARPA is looking at TIPs for a potentially speedy response to outbreaks like Ebola, which killed more than 11,300 people in West Africa between 2014 and 2016. But with promise, also peril. The weaponization cuts both ways, and with each new development, we are brought closer to conflict: there is quite possibly no avoiding it. Were looking at a situation where its getting easier and easier for nefarious people or communities or countries to engineer their own viruses, Jim Gimlett, a program director at DARPA, said by phone. And the military admits that the engineered viruses will be mutating, and could escape into the real world. As Jurassic Park taught us all, the potential for mutation is the potential for trouble. Life finds a way and what is meant to be harmless and helpful in the fight against infection could, in fact, transform into something deadly in of itself. For every promise of a cure to deadly disease, there is an increasing potential for new forms of biological warfare, and agents who are capable of acting on behalf many types of malevolent interests. Their cover stories of doing this research to solve the AIDS riddle and stop human suffering may not be telling the whole story. The Department of Defense has run scenarios on the potential death rate in the event that a major pandemic broke out with the likelihood of something like H7N9 flu or worse infecting tens of millions of people, and killing as many as 2 million in the United States alone: According to the government, their plans call for a minimum of 2 million dead and 5 million hospitalizations should a viruses such as the H7N9 flu strain or a respiratory coronavirus (MERS-CoV) mutate into a more deadly and contagious form. According to a recently declassified report from the Department of Defense the threat is real and it could come at any time: If a flu pandemic strikes, about 30 percent of the U.S. population could fall ill, with 3 million hospitalizations and 2 million deaths. Basic services, such as medical care or essential supply deliveries, will probably be disrupted. There is a mad dash in the black world to hold the keys in silent war that could someday see the release of a deadly and spreading mutagen with total global contamination potential. Crisis seems to loom in the hazy but not-too-distant future. Right now, the federal government has multiple warehouses at secret locations filled with every known antidote, vaccines, antibiotics, medical supplies and other tools to quell the threat of pandemics, and especially to protect their own.

Over the past few weeks, weve seen the clear imbalance when it comes to religious freedom in this country. The liberal media loves to paint the Muslim community as victims, and label Christians as close-minded bigots. The problem here is that Americans are being censored and forced to comply with religious laws they dont believe in just to be politically correct. Well, Green is one of the few Americans who arent afraid to defend his country and our values. His story is below. One of my sons serves in the military. He is still stateside, here in California. He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming people were to him and his troops everywhere he goes, telling me how people shake their hands and thank them for being willing to serve and fight for not only our own freedoms, but so that others may have them also. But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped at yesterday on his way home from the base. He said that ahead of several people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha. He said when she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the U.S. flag lapel pin the cashier wore on her smock. The cashier reached up and touched the pin, and said proudly, Yes, I always wear it and probably always will. The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi. A gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward. Putting his arm around my sons shoulders and nodding towards my son, he said in a calm and gentle voice to the Iraqi woman: Lady, hundreds of thousands of men and women like this young man have fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen. It is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldnt need to be there today. But, hey, if you have now learned how to speak out so loudly and clearly, Ill gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back to Iraq so you can straighten out the mess in YOUR country that you are obviously here in MY country to avoid. 
3	Will North Colorado Be The 51st State In The Union?Michael Snyder In recent years, the Democratically-controlled state legislature has been pursuing new regulations on the oil and gas industries, it has imposed strict new renewable energy standards throughout the state and it has adopted new gun control measures that are highly unpopular with rural voters. The desire to be independent of the meddling bureaucrats in the state capital is certainly a commendable goal, but there are some obstacles that will make establishing a new state very difficult. Hopefully the challenges will not cause those pursuing this new state to lose heart. Recently, representatives from ten Colorado counties held a meeting in the town of Akron to map out the boundaries for the new state Ten counties, including Weld and Morgan, started talking about seceding last month. Now some people Lincoln and Cheyenne counties say they want to join a new state theyd call North Colorado. Organizers of the secession effort say their interests are not being represented at the state Capitol. Representatives from the 10 counties held a meeting on Monday in the town of Akron in Weld County to begin mapping the boundaries for the new state they say will represent the interests of rural Colorado. Agriculture and the oil and gas industries would dominate this new state. In fact, right now about 80 percent of the oil and gas revenue in the state of Colorado comes from the counties that are talking about seceding I say 80 percent of the oil and gas revenue in the state of Colorado is coming out of northeastern Colorado Weld, Yuma County, and some of other counties, Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway said. Seventy percent of the K-12 funding is coming off the state lands in Weld County alone. Im telling you we are economic drivers. But water rights may be an even bigger issue. Four of the five counties that do the most farming in Colorado would become part of North Colorado. But the farmers in those counties are heavily dependent on the water rights that they rent from cities that would not be a part of North Colorado. A new state could make getting the water that those farmers need much more difficult. The following comes froma Huffington Post article A water right is the livelihood of many, many people in northeast Colorado and if you put the security of that right at risk at all as starting a brand new state might do that could be enough to convince people they dont want to go forward with this (new state), said James Witwer, a water attorney in Denver, who represents various municipalities and agricultural water users in northeast Colorado. It would be problematic and risky. Eight major U.S. rivers flow from Colorados mountains and into surrounding states and, because of that, Colorado has agreements in place with its neighbors compacts that require certain amounts of water to flow across state lines. Such an agreement would have to be made between Colorado and North Colorado. There are also significant political issues that make a new state a long shot. Even if the voters approve seceding from the state of Colorado, the new state must also be approved by the Colorado General Assembly and the U.S. Congress. And getting approval from Congress seems extremely unlikely. First of all, Democrats in Congress would be fundamentally opposed to this new state for the same reason that Republicans wont let Washington D.C. become a state. Democrats would not want to allow two new Republican senators from the state of North Colorado to shift the balance of power in the U.S. Senate. Republicans may not like the idea of North Colorado either, because it could significantly hurt the Republicans in future presidential elections. Right now, Colorado is considered to be a swing state. If North Colorado was formed, the Republicans would always win that state, but Democrats would always take the much larger state of Colorado. It would shift electoral college math even more in favor of the Democrats. So it is definitely a long shot that we will ever see the state of North Colorado become the 51st state in the Union. But without a doubt there are a lot of people that are very passionate about the idea. In fact, those organizing this movement say that a few more Colorado counties may join and that even a couple of counties in neighboring Kansas have expressed interest. And organizers hope to have something on the ballot this November possibly. It will be very interesting to watch and see what happens. No new state has been created out of an old state since West Virginia seceded from Virginia in 1863. And of course that was during the Civil War. According tothe New York Daily News, there have been lots of attempts to create new states out of old ones in U.S. history, but the vast majority of them have ended up failing This process has been successfully used in the past to create five new states Vermont, Kentucky, Tennessee, Maine and West Virginia, according to the National Constitution Center. But the road to statehood is mostly littered with failures. There have been more than seventy-five unsuccessful attempts at statehood, including the fantasy states of Forgottonia, Texlahoma, Nickajack, Absaroka, and Long Island. The odds are definitely against North Colorado. But they should be applauded for stepping up and taking action. You will never accomplish anything if you just sit on your sofa eating chips and watching television all the time. So what do you think about the possibility of a 51st state called North Colorado?

2	Obama Admin SLAMS Trump And Says He Is Disqualified From Presidential Run White House spokesman Josh Earnest unleashed upon Donald Trump after Trump demanded that all Muslims be banned from entering our country. Earnest says this move has just disqualified himself from being president. He also said that Trump could drag the GOP into the dust bin with him. He also ragged on Trump over his fake hair and history of being a carnival barker. Trump is far from disqualified from the presidency. In fact, he has more support than ever. Does Donald Trump still have your vote? 
1	With the increasingly warm weather signaling the commencement of their age-old journey, millions of children across the North American continent began their annual summer migration to their fathers homes this week, sources confirmed. At this moment, in every corner of the country, children are setting out from their normal wintering grounds en route to their dads place, said Duke University anthropologist Robert Benson, explaining how these youths follow the same interstate routes they travel every year to the region of the country containing their fathers townhouses, where they will make a temporary home for themselves among their specially arranged twin beds and pull-out sofas for the remainder of the summer months. While the journey is not easy, and often leads the children to conditions that are far less hospitable than those they enjoy during the rest of the year, this is simply a natural rite these boys and girls must endure every summer. Until they turn 18, at least. According to Benson, once autumn arrives, the North American children will follow the same migratory pattern back to the relative bounty of their maternal homelands, where they generally have better options for feeding and more of their fellow juveniles to socialize among. 
3	One in TEN Cell Phone Antenna Sites Violates Govt Limit on Excessive EMF RadiationMelissa Melton Thats a lot of electromagnetic frequency right there. While some people, including myself, have pointed out that its ridiculous to find a giant cell tower erected literally on an elementary school basketball court right next to the playground or placing them directly on school rooftops, this is becoming more and more common to the point there are so many towers and antennas everywhere, they are beginning to blend in with the scenery as if having this many of these things is just natural now. Pretty soon, no matter where you go in this country, youll be within mere feet of at least one cell tower or antenna (but likely many more). Well, according to the Wall Street Journal, a team of six engineers evaluated more than 5,000 of these cites and found that one in ten is violating the rules on excessive radiation. Federal rules require carriers to use barricades, signs and training to protect people from excessive radio-frequency radiation, the waves of electric and magnetic power that carry signals. The power isnt considered harmful by the time it reaches the street, but it can be a risk for workers and residents standing directly in front of an antenna. One in 10 sites violates the rules, according to six engineers who examined more than 5,000 sites during safety audits for carriers and local municipalities, underscoring a safety lapse in the network that makes cellphones hum, at a time when the health effects of antennas are being debated world-wide. Putting aside the argument about what megacorporations that want to sell you stuff will tell you is and isnt harmful, this is insane. We are all being exposed to this more and more every day. Oh, and apparently the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has only issued TWO thats two citations to cell carriers since adopting these limits nearly twenty years ago way back in 1996. Why? Because, the FCC says it lacks resources to monitor each antenna. This, engineer Marvin Wessel told WSJ, is like having speed limit signs but no police to enforce them meaning its POINTLESS to even have radiation limits if no one is monitoring that these companies are adhering to them. The whole set up requires an awful lot of trust in communications companies who have already demonstrated through Snowden leaks that they dont really care about their customers rights at all. So the FCC doesnt have the proper resources to actually hold cell phone companies accountable if their towers and antennas are emitting harmful radiation levels well above federal limits, but said companies are allowed to just continue to blanket our nation with them at an alarming pace anyway??? Makes sense, right? Used to be antennas were only on towers that are easily visually recognizable. Nowadays these antennas can be hidden, painted to blend into the background and people might not even realize theyre hanging out near one. This is what Wessel is talking about, again via WSJ: On a sweltering June day in Phoenix, Mr. Wessel strolled through a residential area near Echo Canyon Park and spotted lawn chairs near a T-Mobile US Inc. cellular antenna painted brown to match a fence. His monitor showed emissions well above safety limits. After being alerted by The Wall Street Journal, T-Mobile added warning signs and roped off a patch in front of the antenna with a chain. The safety of the public, our customers and our employees is a responsibility that all of us here at T-Mobile take very seriously, said a T-Mobile spokeswoman. So why is this an issue? At very high levels, radio-frequency radiation can cook human tissue, the FCC said, potentially causing cataracts and temporary sterility and other health issues. To buffer people from these thermal effects, the FCC set two limits for how much RF people can absorbone for the general public, and an occupational limit five times higher for people trained to work near antennas. The higher level is still 10 times below the thermal level. Carriers have to restrict access near antennas that are above the limits. Workers and others who venture into hot zonesgenerally up to 20 feet in front of an antennamust be trained and have RF monitors. Realize this man said one in TEN of these locations is OUT OF COMPLIANCE regard to EMF radiation, emitting levels well beyond FCC limits for public safety and health. Now back to the fact that we have over 2.3 million of these all over the country and counting Your body also has electromagnetic fields, but somehow were supposed to believe these artificial EMF emitters surrounding us arent affecting us every single day and somehow disturbing the growth of cells and the flow of information between our cells? The BioInitiative Working Group put out a report in 2007 which concluded the existing public safety standards are inadequate anyway. Evidence has shown EMF: Other studies link EMFs to: The bottom line? We are basically living in an open air science experiment on so many fronts in this country and cell phone towers are definitely one of them. We have no idea how this is going to look even a decade or two from now, especially for the poor people who work for cell phone companies who are coming into direct, close contact with these things on a daily basis. If you live in an urban, suburban or even semi-rural area, you will probably be pretty surprised at just how many towers and antenna are humming all around you right now. They are installing towers and antennas on school rooftops, in church steeples, on our municipal water towers, and in everything from fake trees to fake cement blocks on buildings that are meant to blend in with the rest of the building materials. They are no longer as obvious as they used to be, and thus, no longer as easy to avoid. Do a search for your address at Antenna Search.com. You might be surprised how many of these things live near you.

1	Injury-prone Orlando Magic forward Grant Hill announced yesterday that he has scheduled season-ending surgery despite being in the 'best shape of [his] career.' 'I'm doing fine, but now just feels like the right time to get major reconstruction done on my ankle,' Hill said after a practice in which he led his team in several sets of wind sprints, and showed off his newly restored jumping ability with a 180-degree dunk. 'My only hope is that the Orlando fans understand that this is ultimately for the best, and after rehab, I should be back next year ready to go.' Hill has scheduled his surgery to take place the day before the Magic face the Detroit Pistons, a game Hill has been anticipating all season now that he is capable of playing full time and is leading his team in scoring. 
3	Numerous Reports of Mysterious Booms and Strange Lights Over South CarolinaBrandon Turbeville The reports were numerous around Pamplico, Johnsonville, Marion, Hemingway, Aynor, Nichols, Hannah, and Mullins. However, as stated earlier, reports also came from as far away as Evergreen, North Carolina. Marion County dispatchers alone received more than 100 calls in ten minutes related to the booms. The US Geological Society has publicly stated that there was no seismic activity in the region on these dates and emergency dispatchers confirmed that there had been no plane crash. However, this explanation, which was rapidly adopted by the local media, does not hold water. For one thing, most of the individuals I have spoken to (as well as myself) have heard jets break the sound barrier before and both the sound and the impact of the mysterious booms were much different than that of jets breaking the sound barrier. Secondly, if the jets were the cause of the sound and of the heavy vibrational impact that shook so many houses, the jets themselves would have had to be flying very low. But, if the jets were flying low enough for this type of effect to be achieved, witnesses would have also been able to hear the jets. This writer can personally attest to the intensity of the booms as I, myself, was in the area at the time of the incident. The sound, much like what Bob Powell described sounded much more like artillery than any other comparable sound. There was no lead up to the shaking, it was simply as if one was experiencing the vibrations of an explosion. The impact was so strong that one way to describe hearing and feeling the impact from inside the house, it would be if one could imagine a full grown adult climbing on top of the back of a couch or recliner and leaping off, landing full force on the living room floor. Much like this scenario, the impact was sudden and short-lived. The sound, however, was extremely similar to the firing of artillery, much as Powell described it in Michigan. The above incident occurred, as mentioned earlier, on November 5. However, one week prior, a similar, albeit weaker, explosion was heard in the same locations. Reports were made to this writer from both Marion and Mullins in terms of the noticeable impacts and sounds of this separate explosion. Like the first, the sound was similar to artillery, the impact was also distinct but sudden and brief. To my knowledge, there have been no mainstream local reports of the earlier explosion. Also as in the second incident, I can personally attest to the nature of the first. Of course, the explosions themselves are mysterious and intriguing enough. However, when one takes into consideration some accompanying reports of other strange occurrences, the incident takes on a much more shadowy feature. Just after the second incident, a reporter from the Weekly Observer in Hemingway stated that he saw several aircraft in the sky. He stated, I saw six jet aircraft with more lightning behind them than normal. This would lead me to believe they were engaging their afterburners and thus the super-sonic speeds and sonic-boom that followed. At first, the reporters statement seems to corroborate the idea of the explosions being caused by sonic booms. However, as I stated earlier, if the jets that were making this sound were flying this close to the ground as to be counted and the action of their afterburners clearly seen, then many other individuals would have also heard the jets themselves. Furthermore, the accompanying noises themselves simply did not sound anything like a sonic boom. So, one must wonder exactly what the alleged aircraft were doing in the area. In addition, there had been military exercises conveniently scheduled a few days before the second explosion and one day before the first. As reported by WBTW, There was an Air Force training exercise scheduled for the Pee Dee region on Halloween morning, but nothing was announced for Monday. Others reported seeing what they believe to be helicopters. Joe Johnson of Bridge Neck stated, I saw the lights they looked like helicopters. Then there was a loud roar. Again, Johnsons description of strange lights is also a common report coming from sources who felt the explosions as well as those who did not. With reports of this nature growing in scope from Michigan to South Carolina and, indeed, all over the country, there is clearly something happening. The question, of course, is what? As Bob Powell stated in regards to Michigans mysterious incident, If youre looking for information in the local media, good luck. Because theyre not saying a word.

2	Hypocritical Michelle Obama Gets Liposuction Procedure When she is not in the spotlight, Michelle Obama has made a clear attempt to keep her personal life as private possible. So when doctors revealed information about a liposuction procedure, it was a little bit hard for the First Lady to accept. Especially given the fact that she is known for encouraging children and adults across the country to eat healthy and get in shape. Now, it is up to Michelle to explain to those same people why she had liposuction, and why she felt she couldnt lose the extra weight with exercise and a healthy diet alone. Some believe that the procedure shows that the First Lady may be less active than she attempts to claim. According to friends of Michelle, she has also spoken out against cosmetic procedures. Still, Michelle defended the news by claiming that women have the freedom to do what they feel is necessary to feel good about their bodies. Still, many Americans feel this is just one of many displays of the Obamas hypocrisy. What do you think about the shocking new reports? 
2	Ferguson Rioter Disgraces The Flag, What He Does Next Is Even Worse When Seattle Seahawks fans headed to the St. Louis to watch their team play the Rams near the Edward Jones Dome, they could not have foreseen how their day would end. What started as a sporting event ended in a brawl between fans and Ferguson protesters in the area. Reportedly, the altercation started when one fan spit on the protesters for chanting about the shooting of Michael Brown, right outside of the stadium. The situation escalated quickly, with between 20 and 25 people getting involved. And of course, someone was able to catch the incident on tape. The footage shows verbal abuse and racial slurs directed at policemen. Perhaps most shocking is the fact that the protesters were touting upside down American flags. In fact, one protester even begins to use his flag pole as a weapon and stab one of the Rams fans. As a result, two fans were reported injured from the incident. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	Though Vikings quarterback Brett Favre confirmed his ailing right shoulder was 'no big deal right now' and that the broken bones in his left foot were 'uncomfortable but endurable' for the moment, the three-time MVP told reporters Thursday that one more loss could exacerbate his injuries to the point where he would have to retire. 'At this level, and at my age, it would take just one game-breaking playa deep pass, a long run, anythingby the opposing offense to aggravate an injury to the point where I can't go on,' said Favre, who later claimed his injuries become more serious with each defeat he suffers. 'It's entirely possible for any given team on our schedule to outscore me so badly I can't physically continue my heroic streak of consecutive starts.' Favre also added that any victory he led the 3-6 Vikings to this season would be an amazing display of toughness. 
3	Mexican Politician Thinks the Homeless Should Be Culled Like DogsBy Joshua Krause Olga Gutierrez Machorro is a councilor with the government in Tecamachalco, who made some rather creepy comments recently when she spoke to a local newspaper during an event in Central Mexico. She talked about the plight of the growing homeless population, and how the government doesnt have the resources to help them all. She mentioned that she has allowed some of these people to take shelter in her home, before adding Yes theyre a little crazy, but theyre harmless. Which is why I think to myself, wouldnt it be kinder to give them a lethal injection? The locals were understandably outraged and she has since apologized. However, somehow I doubt that the homeless of Tecamachalco will be showing up at her front door any time soon. What makes her comments especially disturbing is the fact that she is a councilor with the Vulnerable Groups Commission, a group that is supposed to be caring for the homeless. But thats not nearly as disturbing as what she revealed after her reprehensible comment. According to Machorro, the culling of the homeless is already happening unofficially. The psychiatric hospital in Tecamachalco routinely deposits their non-aggressive patients in the middle of roadways at night, where they are often killed. How any of these lunatics are in charge of anything, is beyond me. 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 . I think Mexicans should be culling their politicians and wealthy Elite. If they did, life there would improve. 
3	The Psychology of Gulf Coast Victims (Pt. 2)Dave Hodges Before I present the emerging hard data and the myriad of health effects in the Gulf, it is first important to examine the psychology of a crisis and why many in the Gulf have passively accepted their fate despite the omnipresent health effects. Recently, on my talk show, a Louisiana resident said that the crisis was not that bad despite having stated earlier in the same interview that nearly everyone they knew was sick and stayed sick since the Gulf oil spill. This person was demonstrating what has become known as the normalcy bias and most people in the Gulf are afflicted with this condition. Before the hard data is presented on the health effects in the Gulf (Part Three), this portion of the series will examine the psychology connected to the Gulf oil spill and it will become obvious why most people in the Gulf are ignoring the dangers. Normalcy Bias and the Gulf Please allow me to first ask a question to every Gulf resident who has followed the Fukushima event. Do you think the people living within 50 miles of the nuclear power plant should have immediately moved following the event? Most people that I know would say yes. It is easier to answer to say yes when it is not you that has to pack up everything, try and sell the home, find new work, find a new place to live and resettle the children into a new school. If you are involved in the event, your brain begins to look for disconfirming reasons which deny the seriousness of the event so that you can continue on with your life with as little of disruption as possible. The normalcy bias came into play in Japan and the normalcy bias has also come into play in the Gulf Coast region. As I publish my findings in this and subsequent parts of this series, I know that the comments section from people in the Gulf will loudly criticize my findings more than people from anywhere else in the country and this is due to the normalcy bias. Research On Normalcy Bias Personnel who are deeply concerned with evacuation procedures, such as first responders, architects, stadium employees and in the travel industry are keenly aware of normalcy bias and write about it in their training manuals and trade journals. In a 1985 paper published in the International Journal of Mass Emergencies and Disasters, sociologists Shunji Mikami and KenIchi Ikeda at the University of Tokyo (Kakuko Miyata. 1985, Mass Media Reporting on a False Alarm. Journal of Mass Communication Studies. No.34, pp. 193-213. Japanese Society of Mass Communication, Tokyo. Osamu Hiroi ,Shunji Mikami Kakuko Miyata 1985, A Study of Mass Media Reporting in Emergencies. International Journal of Mass Emergencies and Disasters, No.3, pp.21-49.) identified the steps one is likely to go through in a disaster. I think there is no question that when the mainstream media over-hypes events such as Y2K, swine flu, SARS, etc., which helps to fuel the normalcy bias on a global scale. With so much of the media crying wolf, it can be difficult to determine when to be alarmed, and when it really is not a drill. BP, through their incessant network television commercials and public service announcements have added to the normalcy bias in the Gulf by promoting the fiction that all is well. Delaying Defensive Action Can Prove Deadly Why wont they help themselves? Why dont they just leave? Undoubtedly, many Gulf Coast residents see the dangers and have taken action. However, most have not, and I think it is important to answer these questions before sharing the scientific data which demonstrates how bad the conditions are in the Gulf. According to a 2001 study by sociologist Thomas Drabek, people who are told to leave in anticipation of a hurricane or flood, waste precious time and check with four or more sources such as family, newscasters and officials, before deciding on a course of action. On 9/11, at least 70% of survivors spoke with other people before trying to leave, the NIST study shows. There is a biological reason why people engage in the normalcy bias. It is commonly known that it takes 810 seconds to process new information. The stress associated with a serious event slows the reaction process. Further, when the brain cannot find an acceptable response to a situation, it often fixates on a single and sometimes default solution, which may or may not be correct. An evolutionary reason for this response could be that paralysis gives an animal a better chance of surviving an attack. It is commonly known that predators are less likely to eat prey that isnt struggling. Therefore, if we remain calm and appear oblivious, the danger may pass over us. Most of the people who died on 9/11, in the Twin Towers, were above the crash zone of the planes and were unable to find a way to safety. However, National Institute of Standard Technology (NIST) investigators are only now beginning to understand the actions and psychology of the thousands who had a chance to escape to calamity and did not. The NIST report found that the people who made it safely out of the World Trade Center, waited an average of 6 minutes before escaping, as noted in data that was drawn from a new National Institute of Standards and Technology study in interviews with nearly 900, 9/11 survivors. The research demonstrated that some people left fairly quickly while others lingered for as long as 30 minutes. Eventually, there was no denying the danger as everyone saw smoke and smelled the jet fuel. Amazingly, even after the crisis was evident to all, most people called relatives, and approximately a thousand people took the time to shut down their computers according to the NIST report. Is There An Antidote to Normalcy Bias? The solution to normalcy bias, according to Mikami, Ikeda, and other experts, is repetition on the part of those who can help and can subsequently have an impact in creating a paradigm shift. Repeating the warnings often enough, along with giving instructions, can create a new set of realities and can, therefore, become the new normal, and people will subsequently act in a timely fashion. The problem with creating an atmosphere which overcomes normalcy bias, and when precious seconds can make a difference between life and death, is that there may not be enough time to experience this paradigm shift. Later parts in this series will irrefutably present data which clearly demonstrates that the health of 30-40 million people is imperiled. We have already lost nearly three years in waking up residents of the Gulf Coast. As the reader will see, the dangers are dramatic and cannot be overstated. The impact is both immediate and long term in its effects. Conclusion The toxicity of both the oil and the Corexit sprayed to contain the oil spill are deadly. The effects are cumulative. As I noted, we have already lost three years in which people are being exposed on an ever-increasing basis. However, I feel that if we can raise awareness as to the dangers, we can still save lives. It is safe to say that the toxins in the Gulf are in the air, the water in the food and in the blood of many people in the Gulf. The health trends are so disturbing that if I lived in the Gulf region, I would immediately move my family and hope that we got out in time to avoid the various cancers and other assorted deadly illnesses resulting from this event. I know of people in the Gulf who are trying to sell their homes and move. My advice to them would be to sell their homes from their new location. Take a loss, if need be. I would let my home go into foreclosure before spending another three deadly years in the Gulf. In this series, the reader will see that these effects are not dissipating. Yes, the beaches appear cleaner. However, that is due to the fact that Corexit does not break up oil slicks as the media is inaccurately reporting. The Corexit merely buries the oil beneath the surface where its impact on marine life and our food supply is more dramatic. Not every Gulf Coast resident is a passive recipient of their fate. However, most residents are in denial up to 70% if the research is correct and they will continue to accept their fate. This is tragic and I hope that by calling attention to the dangers, we can reduce the passivity level among the potential victims and increase the longevity for many of these residents.

2	VIDEO: Black Panthers Threaten VIOLENCE at Republican Convention These Badass Bikers REFUSE TO LET IT HAPPEN In a recent interview with Fox News, Malik Shabazz, leader of the New Black Panther Party told host Mike Tobin that there will be violence in Cleveland. I am saying what we are planning, and also from what I know many of the groups on the left, mainly the white left, and others, I know for a fact that theres going to be blocking of highways and theres going to be arrests and theres going to be some things, Shabazz commented. I hear thats going to go on next week. Its highly likely theres going to be arrests, theres going to be tear gas. Its going to be happening. If this prediction does come true, Black Lives Matter and the Panthers will come face to face with a group of 10,000 patriots (and mostly veterans) who intend to stop them in the streets of Cleveland. According to reports, the Hells Angels are also mobilizing thousands of bikers to defend Trump and his supporters. 
2	World Shocked After China Makes Four Massive Moves To Defy Islam Following the terrorist attacks in Paris, countries around the world are taking preventative measures to protect themselves against radical Islamists. While the United States is still doing very little to protect our borders, China has taken several steps to prevent attacks. According to reports from the Chinese news agency Xinhau, the most notable action is the banning of women wearing a burqa is public places. A regional legislature recently approved the measure, although it is unclear when it will be put into practice. Now, the Chinese Muslim community is accusing leaders of religious repression. Still, Chinese legislators are standing behind their decision, claiming that burqas are not a national dress of China. Of course, they go on to address public safety concerns as well. What do you think of Chinas new policies?

I missed you so much! Thank God were back together again! employees across the United States reportedly said to one another between whoops of joy, all while lifting each other up in emotional bear hugs. Worst three days of my life! It felt like months. The only thing I thought about the whole timewhile I was sleeping in and having backyard cookoutswas your faces and how much I missed them. You guys are the best! I love you so much. At press time, American colleagues were hanging on each others words as they recounted their weekend activities. 
3	U.S. Government Targets Ammo Supply LinesPrices to Rise Sharply As Americas Last Lead Supplier Calls It Quits A couple of years ago we opined that the anti-gun establishment had found a loophole for the Second Amendment and that rather than targeting the banning of all firearms, they would instead turn their attention to ammunition. The governments most recent efforts to reduce open market availability through taxation, individual purchase restrictions and a massive stockpiling effort by the Department of Homeland Security has forced ammunition prices to nearly triple, while also dwindling supplies of many popular calibers. But theyre not done yet. In fact, they may have finally found a way to circumvent U.S.-based domestic production altogether. The all-out attack on Americans gun rights is now being taken to the next level. The goal is to regulate all forms of ammunition out of existence, and theyre starting with Doe Run, which is the last of Americas domestic lead processing and manufacturing facilities. Now, the only ore-to-lead producer in America the largest in the Western world has been shut down by EPA regulation. EPAs regulatory uncertainty and an estimated $100 million to convert [to non-smelter manufacturing] caused the company to finally throw in the towel. Its not just ammunition thats disappearing. American industry American jobs. are being regulated out of existence as well. Leads still going to be manufactured in China, but itll be done without any environmental oversight, itll be scarce, itll be expensive, and well have fragile supply lines. [] Its part of a multi-pronged attack on ammunition. And after we can no longer manufacture ammunition domestically we have the UN Arms Trade Treaty to stop the importation of ammunition. If you look at the multiple ways theyre trying to remove all ammunition not just certain guns they believe are dangerous theres no question that this is about all-out gun control. Via David Knight of Infowars.com Doe Run is scheduled to layoff its workforce and close its doors before the end of the year. With no more lead being processed in America, we are now completely dependent on our largest creditor, China, to supply the necessary base metals for ammunition production. This will have the immediate effect of further limiting supplies, while also increasing prices, and we can expect this soon after Doe Runs closure this December. Furthermore, in April of this year James Rawles of SurvivalBlog.com detailed new importation restrictions set forth in a Presidential Executive Action following the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting, which bans the importation of military surplus items that include magazines, firearms accessories and, of course, foreign ammunition. Couple this with the implementation of U.N. authorized trade restrictions set forth in the new UN Arms Trade Treaty, and you can see where this is headed. It is not an over-exaggeration to suggest that ammunition supply lines will soon be cut, effectively making it nearly impossible to acquire.

1	An Issue even more worry-some to experts is the reduced acreage of cleared forest available for farming within the City limits. It is a well known Fact that no urban community can survive with out an agricultural base on which to found the City's infra-structure. Already, plots of Farm-land in Lower New York City have grown smaller as more Acreage is used for Housing. What will become of the City if there is no room left in it to Farm crops? Said one wag 'What are Manhattanites to do for Food if they cannot growe it? Have it shipped in from New Jersey?' A hum'rous Jest, to be sure, but in all Seriousness it is a Concern that must be dealt with, before o'er-crowding in New York, gets out of Control. If this be Progresse, then may God save the lot of us. 
1	A Gallup poll released Monday reveals that only 3 percent of Americans describe themselves as 'interested' or 'very interested' in anything whatsoever. 'America is hard-pressed to get excited about tonight's episode of Spin City, much less the situation in Chechnya,' Gallup spokeswoman Jill Pierce said. 'I guess there's just not all that much going on right now.' 
2	Armed Bikers Head To Phoenix Mosque, You Wont Believe What Happened Next [VIDEO] According to recent reports, a group of bikers recently showed up outside a mosque in Phoenix, Arizona. The group has also planned an anti-Islam rally at the Islamic Community Center in Arizona city. The event will nclude yet another draw Muhammad contest. Were just out utilizing our First Amendment rights, Jon Ritzheimer, an event organizer, told reporters. He went on to encourage bikers to show up armed at the event. Authorities claim that they will be attending the event in case violence erupts. Dealing with this type of activity is a challenge that is facing law enforcement across the country, the Phoeni x Police Department said in a statement. Dealing with groups of protestors and opposing views is not the difficult part. Our goal and the real challenge are trying to anticipate unlawful activities that might occur in conjunction with these events. CAIR has also issued a statement on the event, claiming that they are relieved that law enforcement will protect Muslims from hate-filled and armed protesters. Ironically, police are less concerned with the officers and more concerned with reactions to the event from Islamic extremists. What do you think of thee bikers efforts? 
3	The Real Reasons Why The Liberty Movement Is Preparing To FightBrandon Smith It became clear to me then that the SPLC, which had become the propaganda wing of the widely reviled Department Of Homeland Security, was helping set the stage for a paradigm shift in the United States. This shift would obviously include economic and social disruption, as well as political turmoil beyond anything our nation has seen for over 150 years. But most importantly, it would pave the way for certain elements of the American populace, namely those who are awake, aware, and outspoken, to be labeled enemy combatants dangerous to the state. Though posing as an anti-racist monitoring institution, the SPLCs primary concern has never been the KKK or White Identity. Rather, the SPLCs job has been and always will be to marginalize and defame those who stand against centralized federal power, regardless of how corrupt that power has become. They are not anti-racists, or liberals, or concerned citizens; they are STATISTS, who only care about maintaining the superiority of a government that has been bought and paid for many times over by a gaggle of international financiers with delusions of godhood. The SPLC, of course, has so far utterly failed in their efforts to stop the rise of Constitutional activists. By their own admission, patriot groups have expanded exponentially since 2008, and continue to develop freely even in the face of wildly absurd character attacks taken from the amoral (immoral) guidebook of Saul Alinsky himself. The truth, once realized, is difficult if not impossible to stop. Given a few more years, the Liberty Movement will indeed prevail in the struggle for the infowar. Naysayers who claimed we were merely an ineffective and irrelevant peripheral of society are now faced with a strong and growing minority which has the power to swing state and local elections, as we did in 2012, simply by refusing to vote for oath breaking Republicans, sending the message that if the Republican party ever wants to win again, they had better run honest Constitutionalists. Those who claimed our message was insane conspiracy theory must now explain the indefinite detention and rendition provisions of the NDAA, the government approved unleashing of 30,000 surveillance drones in American skies, the Obama Administrations assassination list which includes U.S. citizens, and the push for gun registration and confiscation which is already beginning to take place in some states. How did we know what was coming? Was it intuition or lucky conjecture? Neither. All we had to do was look at the trends of the day and use logic to discern the most likely outcome. Our concerns, which were once called fringe, are now going mainstream. We were right, they were wrong. Though, I wish we had been wrong. Just as the public is on a shrinking timeline, so are the elites. For every burst forward in our efforts to wake up the population to the loss of their freedoms and heritage, they must speed up their plans to gain economic and political supremacy. The harder you pull on the ends of a frayed rope in opposite directions, the sooner it is going to snap. Today, as never before, I believe our culture has reached the breaking point, which is why the SPLC has pushed their attacks on the Liberty Movement into overdrive with manipulative media hit pieces like this: As well as their latest propaganda piece The Year In Hate And Extremism: http://www.splcenter.org/home/2013/spring/the-year-in-hate-and-extremism The SPLC plays the role of the frantic watchman, crying out at the approach of the Mongol hordes, but their childish and ill-conceived methods continue to expose their true intentions. Is the Liberty Movement preparing for war? No, but we are preparing to defend ourselves. Here are the SPLC assertions of why we are ready to fight, followed by the real reasons behind our preparations 1) Because Obama Is Half Black? No. Obama could be neon green and we couldnt care less. The SPLC attempts to equate the growth of patriot groups with the election of the first black president, while leaving out much more likely catalysts including our current economic spiral (which they often refer to as conspiracy theory), or the Obama Administrations expansion and even application of numerous unconstitutional provisions, some of which were launched by the Bush Administration. How does the SPLC explain the majority of the Liberty Movements staunch opposition to the Romney Campaign if all we cared about was race? How do they reconcile the fact that we are just as critical of the Republican elite as we are of the Democrats? What about the reality that many of our organizations (like Oath Keepers) are made up of numerous races and nationalities? They never do. They simply ignore this information as if it is not pertinent to the issue. The truth is, Obama is a middle man, a mascot, an easily replaced muppet. He is not our primary interest, and his color is meaningless. The international banks that funded his campaign and whose members occupy numerous positions within the White House, though, ARE our primary concern. 2) Because We Are Afraid Of An Economic Collapse That Will Never Come? The SPLC refers to almost everything as conspiracy theory because they hope that the average American is too stupid to question their rhetoric. Calling someone a conspiracy theorist is the modern equivalent of accusing a person of being mentally ill; the goal is to inoculate the public against anything they have to say before they say it, even if it is the unbridled truth. The SPLC has consistently shrugged off economic concerns as paranoia, but they never qualify their statements. Years ago I openly challenged Mark Potok and the whole of the SPLC to a debate on the health of the U.S. economy, and I reassert that challenge today. If they think our concerns are unfounded and a source of paranoia, then they should be willing to defend their position. I believe our financial system is on the fast track to collapse for quite a few reasons, including the fact that: For the past four years I have pointed out that China, our largest foreign creditor, only needs to do two things before dumping the dollar as the world reserve currency find a consumer market source to replace the U.S., and, spread its own currency around the globe to create a viable alternative to the greenback. Today, China has announced a full-blown transition into a consumer-based economy and has established bilateral trade agreements with enough developing nations to easily replace the U.S. as an export market. This past month, China announced a massive urbanization project in which they will sell over $6 trillion in Yuan-denominated bonds worldwide. China has also surpassed the U.S. for the first time ever as the worlds largest trade market, meaning that the Yuan will now be more sought after than the Dollar as a global trade mechanism. The Chinese are nearly ready to dump the dollar, causing an international chain reaction that will brutally devalue our currency. I think our economic worries are clearly reasonable. 3) Because We Are Paranoid Over Unfounded Threats Of Martial Law? In the calm before any great war, there is always an escalation of arms on both sides of the conflict. Anyone who has carefully studied the history of modern warfare KNOWS an escalation when they see one. At the same time, anyone who has studied the history of citizen disarmament knows that government restriction and confiscation of personal firearms almost always leads to genocide. Over the past decade, we have seen blatant indications that domestic agencies of the Federal Government are in the midst of arms stockpiling, and, in the past two months, they are pushing harder than ever before to reduce the defensive capabilities of the American public. The Department Of Homeland Security has in only a few years placed orders for ammunition totaling at least 1.6 billion rounds, and new orders indicate they may be accumulating over 2 billion rounds. The DHS has initiated a disinformation campaign through the mainstream media claiming that this ammunition stockpile, which is to be delivered over the course of five years, is for training purposes only. Here is the reality https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunitymode=formid=311eb3ee003671285de8db1036b2b255tab=coretabmode=list= On top of this, why does the DHS need mine resistant armored vehicles? Or bullet-resistant road booths? http://news.thomasnet.com/companystory/Shelters-Direct-Builds-Bullet-Resistant-Booths-for-Homeland-Security-612684 Why is the DHS using training targets featuring children and pregnant women? Why has the Federal Government put plans into motion to release 30,000 drones above our heads? Why have they instituted the passage of the indefinite detention provisions of the NDAA which can be used to revoke the civil rights of anyone deemed an enemy combatant by the executive branch, including American citizens? Why has Obama bypassed the Treason Clause of the U.S. Constitution in order to greenlight assassinations of American citizens? Why has Attorney General Eric Holder stated that predator drones have not been ruled out as a weapon against American citizens on American soil? Why has a branch of the military, NORTHCOM, been deployed domestically? Who are they here to fight? The government is telling us, right to our faces, that they plan to use extraneous force against us, and where else would this force be initiated on such a scale except during martial law? The extensive militarization of any domestic government agency requires as a response the extensive armament of the citizenry, otherwise, there is no deterrent to tyranny. 4) Because We Refuse To Accept That The World Is Changing Without Us? This argument is based on a series of lies; the first one being that American culture needs to progress with the times and shake off the dead skin of old and unpopular principles. Lets set the record straight Some principles, like the liberties embodied in natural law and outlined in the U.S. Constitution, NEVER become outdated. They exist in the heart of mankind, and will remain as long as humanity remains. They cannot be erased, and they cannot be undone. They are inherent and eternal. They can, however, be oppressed by those who seek to dominate the lives of others. This is what the establishment today calls progress. Their version of social order is not new, nor is it even clever. It is archaic, and has taken many forms, including oligarchy, aristocracy, mercantilism, monarchy, totalitarianism, despotism, fascism, socialism, communism, globalism, etc., etc. The goal is always the same; centralize as much power as possible into as few hands as possible while making the enslaved population as collectivized and dependent as possible. The Liberty Movement is not some dying vestige of Americas past clinging to an antiquated philosophy. We are the new wave; the messengers of an ideal of freedom that in the grand scheme of history has been around for only a blink of an eye. Constitutional liberty IS the progress that humanity has been waiting for. We have only been led astray by those who would sell us on our own bondage. The SPLC and others within the establishment accuse the Liberty Movement of arming for conflict against the government. I am here to tell them that is EXACTLY what we are doing. We are arming because the establishment is arming against us. Yes, we are a threat, but only to political and corporate criminals who use subversion and violence to wrest freedom from the hands of good people. I am not afraid to openly admit it. I and many others will fight against any measure or man that seeks to undermine the rights of the people or destroy the founding principles of this nation. We will not allow engineered economic collapse to go unpunished. We will not allow internationalists to subdue American sovereignty. We will not allow national gun registration or confiscation. We will not allow martial law to be instituted. We will not allow American citizens to be imprisoned or assassinated without trial. We will not allow any presidential administration, black or white, Republican or Democrat, to become a de facto dictatorship with no accountability to the public. Regardless of what they might say about us in the future, these are the reasons why we will fight, and our pledges to resist are not empty assertions. We will stop the course of tyranny from completing in this country and in this era, one way or another. If this makes us extremists, or terrorists, then so be it. I, for one, am tired of the long-running game of lies and reserved rhetoric. They know a fight is coming, and we know a fight is coming. Lets just admit it and be done with it. Their greatest weakness is that they have to use deceit, propaganda, media monopoly, and false flag violence in order to convince the public that they are the right side. All we have to do is continue telling the truth, and stand fast. This article first appeared here.

2	Top General Fired For Taking THIS Major Stand Against Transgender Bathrooms According to recent reports, Lt. Gen. William Jerry Boykin has been terminated from Hampden-Sydney College for daring to speak out against the transgender bathroom movement happening in this country. Boykin lead the Armys elite Delta Force and served as the undersecretary of defense under form President George W. Bush. The bottom line is that I oppose these so called #Bathroom bills that let men go into womens locker rooms, showers, and toilets and I have been very public it about, the retired general wrote on his Facebook page on Tuesday. When I said in Orlando that the first man who goes in the restroom with my daughter will not have to worry about surgery, the LGBT community once again came after me, claiming that I was calling for violence against #transgender people, he continued. Instead, he claims, he was referring to the perverts who will use these policies to get into locker rooms with girls and women. In continuing his post, Boykin complained about the desire to be politically correct in this country, and how it is corrupting our values as a nation. He urged parents to stand up against the transgender agenda being pushed by the Obama administration and several major businesses. These bills are the epitome of disrespect and disregard for women and children, Boykin wrote. There are already cases of men doing exactly what I feared would happen, from videoing a 10-year-old girl in a gas station to choking a 12-year-old girl and trying to abduct her. Boykin then encouraged readers to read a petition by the Family Research Council of which he happens to be the vice president. The petition argues that Congress needs to take action against Obamas move to push transgender bathrooms in schools. What do you think of Boykins comments? Is it outrageous that he was fired for expressing his beliefs? 
3	Dawn of The Singularity: Superheroes of Science to Rescue Humanity From Itself?Nicholas West With the exponential rise of automation, and the announcement that Moores Law could lapse within 10 years, the tipping point might already be upon us, with The Singularity arriving as soon as 2029. With the goals of transhumanists and futurists so close to full realization, the worlds leading scientists are beginning to voice their concern that general humanity might not comprehend the full weight of their discoveries. Scientists like Stephen Hawking have formed a group of scientific superheroes who supposedly aim to ensure that humanity does not choose the lethal side of the double-edged sword of technology. Lets see what they are planning to do to save humanity from itself at the dawn of The Singularity. Our current position as we head toward The Singularity is being called The Hybrid Age by futurists, as discussed in the candid video below. It is an increasingly synthetic age of bio-computing, enhanced artificial intelligence and the merging of man and machine through augmented reality. Also stated below is the increasing indication that humanity is not the only biology susceptible to The Singularity; nature, too the climate, for example will be increasingly manageable and augmented. Heaven Hell With these concerns as the backdrop, we need to assess what we see taking place already that might indicate which path we are currently on. Toward Heaven or Hell? We have seen some of the negative consequences of robotics, at least in the economic area. There is the possibility that humans will eventually be fully outsourcedto robots through the period of The Singularity. Even if this does not come to full fruition, a recent study points to dramatic technological unemployment over the next 20 years. We have seen major advancements in direct mind control, which also point toward a decidedly negative direction being implemented in an area that also potentially can help enhance the human brain. A paper published by Cambridge highlighted an extreme example of existential threat when they presented their case that Terminators should be listed as one of the greatest threats to humanity. And, yet, technologies like autonomous drones continue to be developed with an increasing miniaturization right down to the insect and nano level. Coupled with advanced artificial intelligence, the military is seeking ways for these systems to make decisions on their own, as well as communicate and replicate at their own discretion. The technological ability to track, trace and database everyone and everything is already being used as a system of control and pre-crime evaluation that is ushering in a Minority Report-style world. Control over the climate continues to remain a shadowy and hotly debated topic. One thing we can be certain of is the desire of the military to control the weather for use as a weapon. They issued a document called Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning The Weather in 2025 curiously coinciding with the arrival of The Singularity.We also can be sure that elites from societies like the UKs Royal Society have openly discussed playing God with the climate. Who will this God-like power be given to? Well, themselves of course. The continued genetic engineering of the food supply is also having negative consequences for humanitys health as well as the health of the environment. Nevertheless, the increasingly open-source nature of access to technologies which are dropping rapidly in cost offers a potential push-back to would-be controllers. This is often presented as a danger in the case of 3D printed weapons, but 3D printing also offers a wealth of solutions for restoring power to the people and creating new means of solving mankinds most critical issues in the areas of health and the economy. Developments in free energy are also beginning to move beyond the halls of traditional science and elite control. It is even being speculated that DARPAs efforts to produce a low-cost, portable brain recorder could spark a DIY brain scanning movement. However, we would be quite gullible not to be aware that science has traditionally been joined at the hip with the military-industrial complex. Whether it is the atomic bomb, drones, or nanotech; the halls of science have not been perfectly available for the general public to walk among. The dangers inherent in the new science as we race toward The Singularity are most likely the same dangers that humanity always have faced: Will technology be used to free humanity or enslave us? And who will ultimately be in charge? Whos in Charge? There is no question that new technologies can and will benefit select people in select ways, but when it comes to the issue of extinction, who has brought us closest time and time again? It is ironic, then, to hear 27 self-appointed superheroes of science assume the role of vanguard for the rest of us. This is a puzzling manifesto coming from a group that largely represents the anti-human ends of transhumanism, where humanity is upgraded to become a nearly unrecognizable version of its former self. Hawking himself has echoed Kurzweil when he states that in the future brains could be separated from the body. The worldview of these superheroes is at its heart an Orwellian one: humanity must be eliminated in order to save it. This is the exact machine-like mindset that runs the world at every level and we see their terrific resultsso far. Who invented the Internet surveillance apparatus? Who creates those crippling cyber attacks? Who engineers diseases? Who uses food shortages as a weapon? Who created the dangerous algorithms behind the worlds economy? And who wages war in the name of peace? These are the saviors of humanity? Were in big trouble. If we are to survive and thrive as a species, we must codify what type of research will or will not be explored, and which will be discarded due to irreversible negative consequences. Until we realize that the only safeguard against the improper use of technology is humanity, our current path toward a robotized, synthetic world of mindless automatons is virtually guaranteed. * For a quick refutation of the arguments made by technocrats, please see Jon Rappoports article: 
1	According to a Boston University study released Monday, men from lower-income backgrounds are significantly more skilled at communicating their attraction to women than their middle- and upper-class counterparts. 'Many people would assume that the relative dearth of educational opportunities available to men in lower economic strata would result in inferior communication skills,' said Boston University social anthropologist Dr. Mary Schoen, co-author of the study. 'To the contrary, our research finds that they are up to four times more adept at conveying their interest in women than men with higher incomes.' Lower-income men, Schoen said, have a variety of phrases at their disposal to clearly and concisely communicate their attraction to members of the opposite sex. Among them are, 'Slow down so I can get a look at you,' 'Mmmm, you are lookin' fiiiine today,' and 'I wouldn't mind a piece-a dat.' 'Cultures in which the written word is not stressed generally tend to develop a greater oral tradition,' Schoen said. 'Never before, however, has the propensity been placed in a socioeconomic context, specifically with regard to how certain demographic subsets are better able to articulate their desire to get with that hot little mama over there in the red dress.' The study found that 95 percent of men who earn less than $18,000 a year were able to loudly and publicly voice their approval of specific body parts on women. By contrast, a paltry 3 percent of men who earn more than $75,000 a year could do the same. 'Though they scored substantially higher in math and science aptitude, upper-class males were surprisingly inept at simply letting a coworker know her ass looked nice in a skirt,' said Dr. Marybeth Clarke, Boston University sociologist and the study's co-author. 'It's not that they didn't notice the ass. They simply were unable to convey the sentiment.' Even more remarkable, low-income men are often able to initiate communication with women they do not even know. 'It's one thing to be able to strike up a conversation with a friend or coworker,' Clarke said, 'but the challenge is that much greater when you're trying to talk to a stranger who's running to catch a train.' A pair of lower-income men communicate with a female passerby in Dallas, TX. The study also found that the communication skills of economically disadvantaged men are virtually unaffected by context, remaining consistently high regardless of the race, class, or mood of the woman being approached. 'Whether the woman was black or white, rich or poor, cheerful or profoundly depressed, these men were consistently able to get across the message that they would enjoy engaging in intercourse with her,' Clarke said. 'Their requests to 'let me get up on it' or 'give me a little sugar, honey' were unfailingly clear, regardless of who the woman was or her emotional state at the time.' Lower-income men were also seven times more likely to ask women questions. Among the queries noted in the report: 'Where you going all dressed up so sexy?,' 'Where did you get a pair of legs like that?,' and 'Hey, baby, wanna suck my root?' Schoen said the idea for the study first came to her during the summer of 1998, when she was gathering data for an interdisciplinary research project on access to healthcare among the nation's poor. While studying admittance procedures at various hospitals in East Los Angeles, the south side of Chicago, and New York's Spanish Harlem, Schoen was impressed by the direct manner in which men in these communities expressed to her their admiration for the shape of her body. 'All I had to do was walk down the street to notice the discrepancy in communication proficiency between rich and poor males,' Schoen said. 'While well-to-do men would steal furtive glances at my chest, less well-off men would loudly and confidently state their opinion on the matter.' Schoen was not just struck by the directness of the poorer men's remarks, but by the 'vast vocabulary' they employed in doing so. 'These men did not simply say, 'I like your breasts,'' Schoen said. 'They used a vast array of terms: tits, jugs, knockers, knobs, headlights, titties, ta-tas, cans, hooters, boobs, boobies, bazooms, rack, mounds, maracas, milk cans, milk bags, yabbos, fun bags, slappies, coconuts, jabungos, melons. The full list, which is included in the report, is nine pages long.' Schoen said she and her colleagues are 'heartened' by the findings. 'The nation's economically disadvantaged males face many problems. Fortunately, an inability to express themselves to attractive young women in public is not among them,' Schoen said. 'It is up to all of us to encourage these men to develop their skills even further, that their voice might rise, loud and proud, from car windows and construction sites all across the nation.' 
1	In what has become the foremost annual conference of baseball-glove-wearing theory, major-league players past and present once again gathered at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan this week to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of wearing their index fingers on the outside of their baseball mitts. Now in its 47th year, the weeklong convention is intended to explore some of the unanswered questions surrounding forefinger baseball glove placement, such as whether wearing one's index finger on the outside of the mitt can increase pocket-depth and reduce sting; whether forefinger placement is a case of personal preference and, if so, what genetically predisposes an individual to choose an inner or outer placement path; and whether people just wear their index finger on the outside of their gloves because they saw their favorite baseball player do so. 'We don't pretend to think that a player will leave this convention with a full understanding of why he puts his index finger where he does in his mitt,' said MLB commissioner Bud Selig, adding that all 1,200 active major-leaguers are expected to attend. 'All we can do is offer a forum in which to thoughtfully discuss the question with the rigor and curiosity it deserves. Every year we try to challenge our players with new ideas.' 'For example, Willie Mays will hold a daylong symposium debunking the theory that wearing one's index finger on the outside of the mitt allows a player to close the glove more quickly around the ball,' Selig added. 'Sign-ups for his lecture completely filled up before this year's All-Star break.' According to event organizers, each Index Finger Convention opens with Yankees Hall of Famer Yogi Berra asking the Key Question, that being: 'Baseball mitts were designed with five finger slots, and at some point some players decided to no longer use the section created to encase the forefinger. Why?' With that in mind, sources said, players use the meeting to explore those facets of forefinger placement that have vexed or intrigued them the most, not only during the previous baseball season, but throughout their entire careers. 'I'm definitely going to go to the personal testimonial lectures,' Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard said. '[Yankees first baseman] Mark Teixeira is a first-time presenter who switched to putting his index finger on the outside of his glove this year. I want to see how it worked for him, because I'm thinking of doing the same. I think it helps first basemen more so than outfielders. I heard that somewhere.' 'I'm looking forward to spending most of the conference just talking to other players about why they put their index finger where they put it,' New York Mets outfielder Jason Bay said. 'I keep mine on the inside of my mitt, but I enjoy hearing why others don't.' This year's program features convention mainstays, such as the Cal Ripken, Jr.moderated panel 'Increased Injuries? The Biggest Myth About Wearing Your Index Finger On The Outside Of Your Glove.' In addition, many players have visited the Rawlings-sponsored history exhibit, which explains that, because outside index finger placement became so popular in the 1980s, the company began making gloves with an actual forefinger aperture. On Saturday at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., Mike Schmidt will present his seminar, a perennial favorite, devoted to the 1982 season, during which he wore his index finger in the inside of his mitt for the first half of the year and on the outside for the second half. One of the convention's unexpected highlights occurred on Tuesday when Alex Gordon of the Kansas City Royals presented his lecture 'My Index Finger And Baseball Gloves: A Personal History.' Gordon's frank, often confessional presentation detailed how he wore his forefinger on the inside of his mitt throughout Little League, and then for reasons he was never able to understand'Maybe just to be cool and fit in,' Gordon openly admitshe gradually moved the finger to the outside of the glove during high school. 'Now it just feels weird to put my index finger on the inside of my mitt,' Gordon told an audience that included Derek Jeter, Albert Pujols, and 2010 MVP Joey Votto, all of whom could be seen nodding in agreement. 'But truthfully, I bet if I wore my index finger on the inside of my mitt for over 10 years, and one day put it on the outside, it would probably feel just as weird. In the end, I guess I don't know why I started putting my index finger on the outside of my glove.' 'But then again, that's why I'm here,' he continued. 'That's why we're all here.' 
1	Noting his quiet demeanor and the fact that he has not been included in any of the conversations taking place around him, sources at Murphys Tavern and Grill confirmed Sunday with increasing certainty that a Cleveland Browns fan has shown up to the sports bar by himself. The manestimated to be in his late 20s or early 30shas reportedly been standing silently between several groups of people he does not appear to be acquainted with in any way, and has seemingly not been looking around in an attempt to locate friends, relatives, or coworkers among the roughly 200 other patrons at Murphys, fueling speculation that he in fact purposefully and willingly came to the establishment alone. Sources also confirmed that the man is the only person in the entire bar wearing a Browns jersey. I noticed him kind of standing on his own earlier, so I just figured he was waiting for his friends to show up, or maybe they were in the bathroom or something, said 27-year-old Alex Rutland, adding that he has yet to see the man utter a single word to anyone in his immediate vicinity. But then I looked back, like, 20 minutes later, and he was still just standing there by himself. He still is. I guess its possible that he was supposed to meet people here, but then they canceled on him last minute, Rutland continued. Its either that or he actually wanted to come here alone. According to witnesses, aside from briefly waiting to order a beer after initially arriving, the man has otherwise spent virtually all his time with his drink in hand while staring intently at the only television in the entire bar showing the Browns game. Whenever the game has gone to commercial, he has reportedly either turned to the Texans game being viewed by the majority of the bars patronage or simply looked down and browsed his phone. Several early reports indicated that at one point, after Clevelands defense made a key stop on third down, the man shouted, Yeah! There we go! and clapped several times, which drew the attention of several neighboring patrons who looked around in confusion before realizing that he was talking to no one in particular. While evidence continues mounting that the Browns fan has come to the bar by himself, the reasons behind why he has apparently chosen to do so are reportedly still unclear. The Browns game probably isnt being shown on any of the local Houston stations, so this might be the only way he can see it, said 34-year-old onlooker Erik Wickett. But the thing is, you can just stream games onlinethere are a lot of sites that do that now. Its not great video quality, but it still does the job. And that way you can stay at home instead of coming to a packed bar filled with a bunch of total strangers. Is he trying to make friends? Wickett added. Is that what this is? Sources confirmed that at halftime, when everyone else in Murphys was busy eating bar food and engaging in friendly discussions about football, the Browns fan reportedly went to the bathroom and then, upon returning to the same spot where he was previously standing, watched the entire CBS halftime show with no volume. Witnesses confirmed that he did attempt to converse with one other person midway through the third quarter, when, while ordering his second Blue Moon, he jokingly remarked to a bartender that Houston would be better off with J.J. Watt at quarterback instead of Ryan Mallett. The man was also said to have largely ignored several nearby bar-goers who loudly cheered and exchanged high-fives around him while celebrating a Texans touchdown. To be perfectly honest, Im having a tough time figuring out how this could possibly be an enjoyable experience for him, said 31-year-old Denise Millman, who, like everyone else at the bar, reportedly came to enjoy football together with other people she actually knows and is friends with. He looks like a perfectly normal personand yet here he is at a crowded bar on a Sunday afternoon watching a football game by himself. At press time, after the Browns game had concluded, the man finished the last of his beer, placed his empty glass on the bar, and quietly walked out the door. 
1	Mothers of current major-leaguers lost their 10th consecutive Mother's Day game by a score of 24-2 Sunday, the most resounding win by MLB players in the yearly matchup since 1999. 'My mom and I haven't gotten together in a quite while, so it was so nice to see her, especially when I blew a 95 mph fastball past her to win the game,' Josh Beckett said following the game, in which he recorded 13 strikeouts and one walk. 'We always go easy on them, but when A-Rod's mom was showboating after she hit a double in the sixth, I had to plunk her the next time she got up. Just a part of the game.' Though the mothers' team put up subpar numbers, Mrs. Weaver's solid seven-inning pitching performance caught the attention of Mariners' GM Bill Bavasi, who is reportedly considering her as a possible replacement for struggling starter Jeff Weaver. 
1	After months of fevered and contentious political discourse, the U.S. populace unanimously agreed Monday that, before somebody gets upset and things get out of hand, it would be better to just stop talking about politics altogether. Designed to reverse the trend of heated discussions on topics ranging from the Democrats' shifting stance on NAFTA to Sen. John McCain's support for the Iraq War, the nationwide change in subject is effective immediately. The White House will not even be mentioned for at least six months. 'There's no point getting the country all riled up talking about politics, especially right before a big election like this,' 43-year-old Pittsburgh resident Eric Daniels said. 'With terrorism and the economy and all these other problems on our minds, nobody wants to talk about which candidate can best restore faith in America both at home and abroad.' 'Baseball season just started,' Daniels added. 'How about them Pirates?' The decision by all 301,139,947 U.S. citizens to talk about something else is expected to last the more than six months leading up to the presidential election on Nov. 4. During that time, the nation has agreed to supplant all lively debates and impassioned arguments about politics with topics such as movies, music, summertime, and, in some rare cases, personal matters like family, relationships, and feelings. Anything, Americans strongly reiterated, so long as it is not politics. A Zogby International poll conducted last week reflected the country's distaste for political debate. When asked if they preferred the Republican emphasis on national security or the more Democratic commitment to domestic issues, 73 percent of respondents agreed to disagree on the matter and just leave it at that; 16 percent called the topic of Obama versus Clinton 'touchy' and not worth talking about if it could offend someone; and 11 percent said that for the sake of everyone having a good, hassle-free year, it is probably best to just let it go and not worry about who the 44th president will be. In addition, nine out of 10 Americans polled stressed that with the dollar's poor performance and record-high gas prices, this is neither the time nor the place to be talking about politics in the first place. 'If people need to talk about Hillary Clinton's health care proposal, I hope they have the decency to let me know so I can go somewhere else first,' Jacksonville, FL resident Katherine Watson, 37, said. 'Or at least make the conversations more interesting. Maybe talk about Barack Obama's smile or John McCain's weird shoulder thing.' Citizens have also reportedly experienced much less tension in the nation since the ban was instated. Moreover, millions have expressed relief and enthusiasm that, given the backgrounds of the candidates in this election, the injunction has led to a drop in awkward discussions of race, gender, and age. 'Yesterday I had a wonderful, hour-long conversation about how crazy [contestant] Andrew [D'Ambrosi] on Top Chef is, but at least he adds an interesting dynamic to the show,' Deirdre Miles, 26, of Sacramento said. 'It was such a relief to know that nobody would be bringing up superdelegates, the Pennsylvania primary, or John McCain's comment about having our troops in Iraq for the next 100 years. I've got two brothers fighting over there, so that is the last thing I want to think about right now.' Even as the country braces for a potential recession, a number of media outlets claim that the injunction on talking politics could be a boon to business. With television, newspapers, and radio stations all forced to cover only sports and entertainment, ad revenue and ratings are expected to soar in every major market nationwide. For their part, politicians have largely been supportive of the move. 'The president is proud that the American people have come together on such an important issue,' White House press secretary Dana Perino told reporters at a briefing Tuesday. 'He supports their decision wholeheartedly, and thinks U.S. citizens should focus on relaxing and having a good time in the upcoming months.' Added Perino, 'We'll take care of the politics for you.' Though the moratorium will likely be lifted after the election, the 1984 agreement between Americans to avoid discussing religion has been extended until 2024. 
1	In what appears to be the latest sign of a widening gulf between the Muslim world and the West, Islamic leaders upset over Pope Benedict XIV's recent controversial remarks about the nature of their religion are urging the Muslim faithful to boycott any and all products bearing the Pope's seal of approval. Sheikh Othman Malik led a demonstration in Karachi Monday. 'We are sending a message to Rome that they cannot insult the prophet, may Allah's blessings be upon him, and if they do, we will close our hearts and our pocketbooks to their extensive line of retail products,' said Pakistani cleric Sheikh Othman Malik, who spoke to an estimated crowd of 10,000 in downtown Karachi Monday. 'Our only recourse is to refuse to buy anythingbe it candles, incense, Pope Oaties breakfast cereal, Popeshine shampoo, or Craftspope-brand power toolsand, by destroying consumer confidence, bring the worshipper of the cross and all his subsidiaries to their knees.' Added Malik, 'We must remind everyone that it is the oppressed buyer who makes the Roman Catholic Church the second-largest manufacturer of consumer goods in the world.' Although the Karachi protest was mostly peaceful, a downtown Stop N' Pope grocery store's windows were smashed, and in the northwest suburbs a fiberglass statue of the Mitre Man mascot was reportedly seized from a Vatican Tires outlet and set ablaze. ValuPope Super Centers are bracing for the boycott spearheaded by Sheikh Othman Malik. 'We will not rest,' said protester Ibrahim Meghwar, standing behind a burning pile of Pople magazines. 'Not in our La-Z-Pope reclining chairs or even in our Popesturepedic beds!' Despite the Pope's record earnings of $42 billion in sales in 2005, an effective and well-coordinated Muslim boycott could spell trouble for the Vatican Citybased domestic-products giant and religion. Although the majority of its customers are Christian, a growing 19 percent are Muslim. 'There's no question about the Church's solvency, but a concerted effort by this important retail base could significantly affect the Vatican's yearly outlook,' Goldman-Sachs retail analyst Jennifer Blaisdell said. 'If it happens, Pope Benedict is going to have to answer to the Cardinals in the boardroom.' 'A boycott will mean great sacrifice,' Cairo protester Zahoor Ismail said. 'My wife will have to buy our children's back-to-madrasah clothing from somewhere besides ValuPope, and we will put off buying that PopeScan 30-inch TV we've been saving up for. But as devout Muslims, it is our duty to reject these material goods and turn inward, to our own righteous manufacturers of affordable, quality products.' <b>'We will rain down death and destroy profits wherever the infidel is found, from the rivers of Diet Papal Cola to the mountains of Pope-Tarts.'</b><p>Sheikh Hashim Abu al-Khoei </p> While the Vatican would remain strong in the Western processed-food market with its popular Pope-Ums sliced-mackerel sandwich fixings and Dios Mio Frozen Enchilada Dinners, a boycott could all but shut down the Church's Levantine Foods division, which produces the popular Jiffy-Pope Microwave Falafel Mix, currently a top seller throughout the Arab world. In addition, PVC pipe, aluminum siding, and fiberglass insulation produced by the Church's building-materials arm, PopeDepot Inc., could also face the threat of drastically reduced sales in Muslim countries. Some Muslims, however, are reluctant to join such a sweeping boycott. 'I am a Muslim warrior, and I will gladly take to the streets in wrathful indignation,' Malaysian-born Montreal resident Ridhuan Amir said. 'But papal products mean higher quality. He may be the great infidel, but the fact is, he makes the best odor-absorbing scoopable cat litter on the market.' Hoping to quell the crisis, the Vatican released a statement expressing regret over the Pope's remarks and reaffirmed his respect for the Islamic faith in his goods, announcing plans to offer its own line of long-burning Li'l Benedict effigy dolls, with prices starting at $39.95. 
1	Insisting there is no way anyone else would be able to get ahold of the weapons in his home, local gun owner Kevin Williamson told reporters Thursday he always keeps his firearms securely locked away where only he can access them during a severe mental breakdown. Owning firearms comes with serious responsibilities, which is why I store each of my guns in a locked safe, said Williamson, who assured reporters that no one but him could open the tamper-proof steel box and access the firearms in the midst of an overwhelming period of emotional distress that engendered a blind, psychotic rage. I keep the key on me at all times, so Im the only person who can get to them [in the event that I suffer a full-scale psychological meltdown and channel my derangement into a violent, blood-soaked rampage]. No one but me is laying a hand on those guns. Detailing the further precautionary measures he takes, Williamson told reporters he would have to retrieve the ammunition from a separate location should he ever need to use his guns to take out a wild, all-consuming fury on a crowd of innocent bystanders or his family. 
3	CDC Sounds Alarm Again over New SARS VirusLisa Garber The Qatari man is in critical condition after experiencing symptoms of acute respiratory infection. He was flown to an unnamed hospital in London, in treatment for the infection and kidney failure. This new virusis different from any that have previously been identified in humans, the Health Protection Agency (HPA) in Britain says. Although the HPA is advising doctors and nurses to treat the Qatari patient with respirators and other protective attire and tools, it is not at this time advising travelers or the public. The virus in question is a coronavirus, from the same family as the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) that surfaced in China in 2002, infecting 8,000 people worldwide and killing 800. University of London Virology professor John Oxford, however, says, SARS was very quick off the mark infecting hospital staff. Rather than behaving like SARS, this virus is more likely to join numerous other members of the coronavirus family and behave like a nasty infection. Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other bodies continue to sound the alarm. This is now an international issue, warns WHO spokesperson Gregory Hartl. We must remember, however, that the emergence or resurgence of a disease does not come without a vaccine push (and a price tag). Although the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) dont like to admit it, many vaccines come with a slew of side effects and dangers not really worth paying for. So, why the fuss? Vaccines cost the public money, and that money lines the pockets of Big Pharma. Meanwhile, real, tangible issueslike GMOs and antibiotics in our foodgo ignored. GMO corn continues to contribute to Americans ever-expanding waistlines while the FDA not only ignores but actively disrupts the campaign to label GMO food. Even more recently, and more disturbingly is the study showing how, as a result of the mass tumors, liver and kidney damage, it was concluded that around 50% of the males and 70% of the females died prematurely from eating only Roundup tolerant seed or drinking water with Roundup. Truly, where money goes, policy follows. Additional Sources: Explore More: 
2	Trey Gowdy Ends Hillary Clinton After Revealing One New Piece Of Information From Her Deleted Emails It is clear that Trey Gowdy has never been a fan of Hillary Clinton, but it seems that his disdain for the Democratic presidential nominee has only grown during his investigation of her involvement in Benghazi. Now, Gowdy has revealed to Fox News that not only did Hillary Clinton delete her emails, but she went through the trouble of putting them through an application called Bleach Bit to ensure they can never be recovered. You dont use Bleach Bit for yoga emails, or for brides maids emails, he commented. When youre using Bleach Bit, it is something you really do not want the world to see. The reporter interviewing Gowdy then asked him about Hillary Clinton, and the fact that liberals keep trying to claim that this incident is smoke but not fire. Its arson, Gowdy responded. Its pyromania. Its not smoke. Even listening to her talk about the Clinton Foundation. I couldnt help but go back and remember the press conference she gave on her emails where every single thing she said proved to be false. He then concluded with the cold, hard truth about Hillary. Thats the interesting thing about credibility and believability, you cant just keep it in one compartment, he commented. When you are a habitual, serial liar in this facet of life, it tends to make people not believe you in other facets of life. Watch the video below and tell us what you think about Gowdys comments. 
3	Feds Say Prisons Bring Economic Benefits to Communities, But its all a Pack of LiesBy Justin Gardner Military spending, arms sales, prescription drug use and obesity rates are some of the more notorious ones, but no country comes close to the number of people America puts in prison. With 5 percent of the worlds population, the United States holds 20 percent of the worlds prisoners. The prison population rose 408% from 1978 to 2014, as government ramped up its War on Drugs and instituted mandatory minimum prison sentencing. One in fourteen children in the U.S. has a parent behind bars, and that rate is almost twice as bad for poor children. Yes, mass incarceration is truly an American phenomenon. Its a horrid beast borne of the militarized police state and a corporatocracy exploiting human suffering for profit. Like a shady salesman, the federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) has pitched its routine for years to Congress and the public that prisons bring economic benefits to rural communities. This alleged economic boost is meant to be some sort of justification for expanding mass incarceration. The BOP stated in its fiscal 2016 budget report: By bringing in new federal jobs, stimulation of local businesses and housing, contracting with hospitals and other local vendors, and coordinating with local law enforcement, the BOP improves the economy of the town and the entire region where these rural facilities are located. However, those supposed economic benefits are a fantasy. The Letcher Governance Project, which is opposed to the prison for profit system, points out that three new prisons in three nearby counties have done very little to help local economies, and those counties remain among the poorest in the country. This is a microcosm of the general reality across the country. The Marshall Project explains in detail why prisons are not an economic stimulus, and may be doing more harm than good. A 2010 study looked at the change in employment for every county in the lower 48 states between 1976 and 2004, specifically the performance of those with prisons versus those without. There was no link between prisons and rising employment after 1990. In fact, some counties showed an inverse relationship between prisons and employment growth. Another study found that towns with new prisons experienced much lower increases in employment, retail sales, household wages, housing units and home values when compared to towns without prisons. An Environmental Impact Statement on the proposed Letcher County prison said that many, if not all, of the 300 jobs will go to existing Bureau of Prisons employees. In California, only 20 percent of new prison jobs went to locals; in Missouri, less than a third went to county residents.The skills and union connections necessary to get prison construction jobs usually dont exist in the local population. Many of those who do get jobs at the new prisons dont actually move into town, so they dont contribute to home ownership or the tax base. Lots of them would rather commute long distances from cities. Even Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin said, The quality of life began to go downand the number of people who really had roots in the community began to change. Prisons bring few linkages to the economy in the form of other business development that a town is looking for. As authors Tom Meagher Christie Thompson noted, Nobody wants to build a new big box store near a prison. Adding insult to injury, prisoners are rented out to both government and private employers, providing extremely cheap labor that unfairly competes with local residents looking for work. State agencies gladly herd prisoners into the most mundane tasks such as printing, mapping and phone services. This is one of the most disturbing aspects of the modern-day prison system, as corporations such as Microsoft, Nintendo, Dell, Chevron, IBM, Victorias Secret and Honda have also used prisoners for pennies on the dollar. Local factories and gas stations are some of the beneficiaries in Louisiana, which has the highest incarceration rate in the country and the worst prisoner exploitation program. In the face of these realities, how can the federal Bureau of Prisons honestly say that prisons bring economic benefits? Only an agency that owes its existence to mass incarceration and the corporations that benefit in the prison-industrial complex can peddle such lies. If we continue to make progress fighting to end the immoral War on Drugs and continue to tear down the injustice of mandatory minimum sentencing, then demand for new prisons will slow or reverse. There are far better ways for towns to improve their economy, such as alternative energy production and things that embrace the future instead of perpetuating the police state. Perhaps no greater sign of hope lies in the pioneering examples where former prisons are being turned into cannabis grow facilities. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. The only way Id ever support any type of prison to be built in my community would be the one that housed all these newly minted enemy within types like the real dangerous psychopaths that currently work for and hide in the govt. The neocons and their enablers in govt and finance though guilty of crimes against humanity should be imprisoned on our dime in this country in perhaps the facility I imagine. Who knows? Maybe we could model it after one of our natl zoos where we could give guided tours where the citizens could see what happens to real criminals of the neocon type that this country is infested with right now. They wouldnt be any kind of endangered species at least until a few of themexpired. But what better way would there be to put America first besides electing the guy whos slogan that is and placing his DemocRATic opponent Crooked Hillary in this brand new prison facility where she belongs?? YepId vote for that!!! And will this November Its called SLAVERY periodend of story Yep. If economists did their job correctly they would measure the short-term benefits of capitalist exploitation of cheap labor under coercion (slavery) against the social externalities of high recidivism rates and a further dehumanized population. We shouldnt have privatized prison as a first condition because of the obvious incentive for corruption to feed more customers into the system, but the least they could do would be to tie the profit structure to the rate of recidivism but of course economists are just another cowardly and fully corrupted lot of professional shills. Hanzlike it or not all of us are slaves. Slaves that feed, clothe and shelter ourselves. Money has got to be exterminated.grins. There are better alternatives that would just not be reasonably easy to changeeuuuuwwww. Carry onmoney just doesnt work with humans, never hasshow me a single civilization that prospered with money, beads, exchanging stuff society has deemed valuable. Jacque Fresco, Venus Projecthe is a brilliant guy and unbelievably I think he is still alive. His idea/ideashey hes a social engineerarent perfect but they are better. Only it is very implausible to do with this population and mind set. Have you watched anything by Jacque? What a great guy, smart guy. I think the solution to our money woes is to value all labor equally. Just because someone is a surgeon doesnt mean they are worth more than the support staff that does the other functions that enables the surgeon to perform. Without the support the surgeons skills are diluted. Thank you very much,13th amendment. Politicians who allow this are complete traitors and are the people who belong in prison. And, from the mouths of ex-cons, the majority of the populations in prison are mom and pop marijuana growers. Money will be the death of our speciestook a long time to understand that money and humans should never be acquainted. It is tough to actually speak with correction officers and find they completely think that these prisons are not money making nor are they federalsorta like the Federal Reservemy very best friend was the top dog of a criminally insane, 8 county ward in Florida. The top executive. The money involvedIll have to ask her about GEO. I am just amazed that one could work in a company for decades and not know that it is privately owned and its only concern is making a profit. 
1	In what many described as pretty incredible, students at Denison University expressed disbelief Friday after realizing they were actually sitting in the same English 225 class as none other than the schools starting quarterback, Luke Pavlatos. Holy shit, Pav is here, said sophomore Jared Stasio, who admitted it was difficult to fathom that he was sitting just two seats away from the very quarterback who commands Big Red at Piper Field. Oh my God, number 8. Hes taking a class just like us. I cant believe that they even make him go to class. I mean you hear his name all the time and I guess you forget hes still a regular student like everybody else. I just hope I don't say anything stupid in front of him. At press time, the students confirmed that despite being the King of Denison, Pavlatos was so down to earth. 
3	CDC whistleblower: Ive stopped lying.Jon Rappoport What more could anyone want in the way of evidence for an ongoing crime? There is a video posted at the autism media channel/YouTube, and at Age of Autism:William Thompsons call to Congress. Presumably, the call was recorded before August 27,when Thompson went public with a statement admitting he, and his co-authors, cooked a study on the MMR vaccine and thereby hid the vaccines connection to autism. I also presume Thompson didnt know (or would now say he didnt know) that the call was being recorded. Thompson makes highly explosive comments on the phone call: The CDC has put the [autism] research ten years behind. Because the CDC has not been transparent, weve missed ten years of research [on the autism-vaccine connection]. CDC istheyre paralyzed. The whole system is paralyzed right now. I have a boss whos asking me to lieif Im forced to testify, Im not gonna lie. I basically have stopped lying. Really, what we need is for Congress to come in and say, Give us the data and were gonna have an independent contractor do it, and bring in the autism advocates [who understand the vaccine-autism connection] and have them intimately involved in the studies. In this last comment, Thompson is obviously referring to new studies that would analyze all raw data on all vaccines the CDC has collected, and compare the data with rates of autism and other neurological damage in vaccinated children. Thompson isnt talking about one vaccine. The CDC paralysis refers to a stoppage of all honest research on the causal connection between all vaccines and autism. Thompson straight-out admits he has a boss at the CDC who wants him to lie and hide the connection between vaccines and autism. What more does anyone need to make up his mind about what is going on at the CDC? I have a boss whos asking me to lie. The boss wants Thompson to bury and hide the causal connection between vaccines and autism. The CDC is a billion-dollar federal agency tasked with ensuring the safety of vaccines and protecting the public. Thompson, a CDC scientist for many years, is stating the CDC has committed and is committing outright crimes, and is knowingly permitting vaccines to damage the brains of children. The scum of mainstream media are refusing to cover this story, and so they are accomplices to the crime. The Department of Justice, who surely know about Thompson, are refusing to investigate, arrest, and prosecute CDC bosses and researchersand therefore, they, too, are accomplices to a great ongoing crime. The FDA, in charge of certifying all medicines as safe and effective, is another willing accomplice. And of course, the vaccine manufacturers are guilty of mayhem, destruction, and the poisoning of children. I surely hope this information spreads far and wide.

2	Ted Cruz Finally Did It, Hes Calling For Americas Support In his last year as president, Barack Obama helped the United Nations pass the most anti-Israel bill we have ever seen. In response, Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu said he would refuse the bill that calls Israels land occupied territory and blatantly values Palestinians over Israelis. Ted Cruz joined in the fight to take down Obama and the UN for passing such an outrageous measure. Spoke w/ Israeli PM @netanyahu tonight to wish him Happy Chanukah assure him of strong support in Congress, Cruz announced on Twitter. No US $ for UN until reversed. Cruz also made an inspiring speech criticizing Obamas administration for their clear bias. For eight long years, the Obama administration has worked systematically to undermine the nation of Israel. They actively worked to defeat Prime Minister Netanyahu, and illegally used U.S. taxpayer funds to do so, Cruz claimed. Never has there been a more anti-Israel Administration, and todays United Nations vote is the culmination of their systemic agenda to weaken Israel and strengthen its enemies. I also emphatically second the call of my colleague Sen. Lindsey Graham that the consequences of this disgraceful UN resolution should be severe, he continued. I look forward to working with Sen. Graham, and with the incoming Administration of President-elect Trump, to significantly reduce or even eliminate U.S. funding of the United Nations, and also to seriously reconsider financial support for the nations that supported this resolution. For those who have put your name to this despicable attack on Israel, you did so with full knowledge of the consequences of your actions, Cruz concluded. And for those who acquiesced or facilitated the UN resolutionespecially President Obama, Secretary Kerry, and Ambassador Powerhistory will record your abiding and shameful legacy undermining our friend and ally Israel. What do you think? Do you agree with Cruz?

2	Obama Proposes White Privilege Tax, Heres The Reaction... Disgusting [VIDEO] Just when you thought things couldnt possibly get worse, liberals are bouncing around the idea of a white privilege tax. It may sound ridiculous, but according to media analyst Mark Dice, its an idea that many Americans stand behind. In his recent man on the street experiment, Dice asked random people in San Diego to sign a petition that would add a 1% income tax for Caucasian Americans. That money, he proposed, would be redistributed to minority communities. While the tax is not actually on the table, its shocking to think that anyone would even accept it as a reality. It speaks volumes for the state of our country today. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
3	Mandatory vaccination: California is ordering genetic alterationBy Jon Rappoport Governor Jerry Brown just signed SB277 into law in California. No more religious or philosophical exemption from vaccination. Now only a medical doctors note stating a person should not be vaccinated will provide an exemptionand you can be sure doctors who sign a number of these notes will be tracked, scrutinized, harassed, and attacked by the State. SB277 requires all children who attend public and private schools to receive the full schedule of vaccines. Home-schooled children can opt out of vaccination. Pay attention, parents. Ive written many articles about vaccines, about their dangers, their undeserved reputation for having eliminated contagious diseases in the West, and the absurdity of so-called herd immunity. This is a conscious formula for so much of what now passes for culture in America and other countries: New, broader and more vague definitions of terrorist threats; pressure to conform to politically correct speech; the need to spy on everybody all the time; these are the signs of the times. We will protect you on every level. Just give up freedom. From the caves of 100,000 years ago, all the way forward to the Modern State, that assertion has been used to exert more and more control over the people. At higher levels of political power, beyond direct medical issues, mandatory vaccination is being used as yet another hammer, in order to elicit compliance from citizens. We say do X; therefore, you must do X. In this case, X involves the injection of toxic substances like aluminum, formaldehyde, Polysorbate 80 and numerous other harmful chemicals into the body. A Mother Jones article (6/12/2012),Can Exposure to Toxins Change your DNA, reports on the damaging effects of environmental chemicals. The connection to toxins in vaccines, though not mentioned, is an obvious parallel. Here are quotes from the MJ piece: The presumed mechanism of this unfortunate inheritance [generation-to-generation damage from toxic chemicals] is not a mutation in the DNA itself but rather changes in the biochemical on-off switches that determine whether or not specific genes get activateda field of study known as epigenetics Most recently, researchers from Washington State University, led by biology professor Michael Skinner, reported last month that short-term exposure of pregnant rats to several kinds of chemicals caused ovarian disease not just in their daughters but also in two subsequent generations of females. Symptoms that paralleled those found in human polycystic ovarian disease and primary ovarian insufficiency, both of which can reduce fertility, were identified in the descendants of rats exposed to a fungicide, pesticides, dioxin, jet fuel, and a mixture of plastics, but not among descendants of controls [given a placebo]. We are talking about lasting genetic changes, from parents to children, down the line. There is every reason to believe that injecting chemical toxins (in vaccines) would have a still greater permanent effect than, say, breathing pesticides. But dont worry. The State is here to protect you and your children. Just obey, and all will be well. And now, a look at the future of vaccines. See the New York Times, 3/15/15, Protection Without a Vaccine: By delivering synthetic genes into the muscles of the [experimental] monkeys, the scientists are essentially re-engineering the animals to resist disease. The skys the limit, said Michael Farzan, an immunologist at Scripps and lead author of the new study. The first human trial based on this strategy called immunoprophylaxis by gene transfer, or I.G.T. is underway, and several new ones are planned. I.G.T. is altogether different from traditional vaccination. It is instead a form of gene therapy. Scientists isolate the genes that produce powerful antibodies against certain diseases and then synthesize artificial versions. The genes are placed into viruses and injected into human tissue, usually muscle. Here is the punchline: The viruses invade human cells with their DNA payloads, and the synthetic gene is incorporated into the recipients own DNA. If all goes well, the new genes instruct the cells to begin manufacturing powerful antibodies. Read that again: the synthetic gene is incorporated into the recipients own DNA. Alteration of the human genetic makeup. Not just a visit. Permanent residence. The Times article taps Dr. David Baltimore for an opinion: Still, Dr. Baltimore says that he envisions that some people might be leery of a vaccination strategy that means altering their own DNA, even if it prevents a potentially fatal disease. Yes, some people might be leery. If they have two or three working brain cells. This is where vaccination has been going since its inception, and this is where its going in the future: the restructuring of human DNA, under conditions sufficiently random to rule out any reliable predictions of the outcome. Thank you, Governor Brown. Youll be remembered for your decision. Make no mistake about it: the entire human race has been, is, and will be (unless resistance builds to a very high roar) the subject of a vast, multi-century genetic experiment. Problem is after 70 years of fluoridation mercury poisoning from amalgams ,coal plants vaccines; very few still have 3 working brain cells to rub together. I have one grandson out of nine kids that is not vaccinated if they vote it in here I will help home school him if I have to do it till Im 75. Right on! Well. I hope the schools fail by parents taking them out. I dont know exactly how home schooling works. Can one set of parents teach a whole bunch of kids while the other parents keep their jobs and the teaching parents can have that as their job? I can see lots of home school tutors popping up! Thanks for that idea! From someone who is reluctantly continuing to teach in public school; several parents of special education students have expressed the desire to get out; they are though challenged at home with the same difficulties their children present in class. I could actually possibly find a client. Hmm. If you havent looked at the lethal truth behind vaccines and wish more information, explore this site . Dr Carley is one of first people who got me researching the lies of vaccinations http://drcarley.com/ I hope they have empty classrooms! Just to clarify this deplorable situationJerry Brown is a full fledged militaristic JESUIT Priest.nuff said? 
1	Saying the comparisons are unbelievably flattering, New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez told reporters Friday that he is extremely humbled to currently be mentioned in the same breath as all-time baseball greats Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, and Jose Canseco. When you talk about the likes of Bonds, McGwire, and Canseco, youre talking about some of the best hitters who ever played the game, and to be in the same company as those players is pretty incredible, said Rodriguez, adding that its a true honor to also be likened to other sports icons such as cyclist Lance Armstrong and Olympic sprinter Ben Johnson. Ive seen some people put me up there with [Sammy] Sosa and Manny [Ramirez], and I really dont know what to say. These guys are baseball legendsheroes, reallyand hearing my name said alongside theirs is pretty overwhelming. Rodriguez later admitted to sources that he doesnt understand the comparisons between himself and Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun, claiming that hes a totally different player. 
1	God, the omnipotent and omniscient Creator of the Universe who recently saw fit to allow the Cleveland Cavaliers to advance to the NBA Finals, expressed concern Tuesday that He might be causing the earthly city of Cleveland undue emotional anguish by doing so. 'I can't help feeling that they who dwell in Cleveland and root for the Cavaliers have done nothing to warrant the dashing of their hopes after having them raised to such lofty heights,' said God, who acknowledged that day-to-day life was bitter enough for city residents. 'Although I move in mysterious ways, and in doing so often allow bad things to happen to good people, My grand design is usually glorious to behold. But the Cavs in the Finals I don't know, maybe that's just plain mean.' God is said to be particularly sensitive to looming tragedies in Cleveland recently, as the Indians have been playing better than expected, earthquake-level tension began building in a previously undetected geological slip-fault in the bedrock along the shores of Lake Erie, and the Browns drafted quarterback Brady Quinn. 
1	LOS ANGELESTonight Show host Jay Leno's home outgoing voicemail message stops briefly to allow for audience laughter, sources reported Monday. 'You have reached the home of Mavis and Jay Leno, and if you don't know what to do by now, then you've got bigger problems than Martha Stewart,'' said Leno's recording, followed by a five-second silence. 'But seriously, callers, at the beep, leave a message.' After a short pause, Leno's message concluded, 'Am I right?' 
1	Entertainment personality and novelty-song writer Jimmy Buffett sustained confusion Monday after being forced to hand over approximately $10 for an alcoholic beverage he ordered at Miami Beach's Beachcombover's Dugout Bar And Grill, an incident that had not occurred since the late 1980s. 'I'm still not sure how it happenedI ordered a Long Island Iced Tea, drank it, and got up to leave as usual, but then the bartender stopped me, and I didn't know what he wanted me to do,' said Buffett, 60, who composed a bitter yet theoretically humorous ballad about the incident later that day. 'When he requested money for the drink, I thought, well, that's reasonable. But then no one would give him any.' Bar staff said that perhaps the timing of the incident contributed to Buffett's predicament, since during the day potential drink-buyers typically spend their weekday afternoons managing shoe stores, adjusting claims, or entering data. 
1	Admitting that she was confused as to why a flag had been thrown during the previous play, local woman Hannah Larson confirmed Sunday that it was blatantly obvious that her boyfriend, Nick Morris, was just bullshitting his way through an explanation of the referees pass interference call. At first, he said the corner was holding the other guys jersey, but then he started going on about how youre not allowed to touch the receiver past the line of scrimmage until the ball is in the air, said Larson, adding that she could immediately tell Morris was full of shit as soon as she asked him to further clarify, at which point he vaguely noted that the team was lucky not to get called for an illegal shift as well. I pressed him on it a little bit, and he repeated verbatim what the commentator had just said about the defender not looking at the ball as he made contact with the receiver. Then he sort of trailed off and mumbled something about hands to the face. He has no idea what the fuck hes talking about. At press time, Morris was sitting quietly after officials had picked up the flag and announced that there was no penalty on the play.

3	Pennsylvania Constable to Sign Resolution Opposing the NDAA and Patriot Actselfnews Post On January 17th, 2012 the County Commissioners of Elk County, Pennsylvania unanimously passed a resolution opposing the NDAA, titled To Preserve Habeas Corpus And Civil Liberties. Sheriff Mike McMoran, Comanche County, Kansas, Sheriff Grayson Robinson, Arapahoe County, Colorado, and former Sheriff Richard Mack have signed resolutions opposing the NDAA and ordering no one in their department to cooperate with the enforcement of the NDAA. Virginia, Maine, and Utah have passed bills opposing and nullifying the NDAA, and many other states have introduced similar bills. Many local governments and groups have already passed resolutions. Groups across the political spectrum are supporting the nullification and/or repeal of the NDAA . . . Organizations include the ACLU, Demand Progress, Downsize DC, Gun Owners of America, Japanese American Citizens League, the Tenth Amendment Center, Oath Keepers, Amnesty International, the Patriot Coalition, PANDA People Against the National Defense Act, Rhode Island Liberty Coalition, the John Birch Society, Reclaim Democracy, Bill of Rights Defense Committee, Peoples Campaign for the Constitution, Unitarian Universalist Service Committee, United Church of Christ Justice and Witness Ministries, United Methodist Church General Board of Church and Society, Physicians for Human Rights, Presbyterian Church (USA) Office of Public Witness, Rabbis for Human Rights North America, National Religious Campaign Against Torture, the Ron Paul and Gary Johnson Presidential campaigns, and many others. Constable Ed Quiggle, Jr. was elected during the 2011 election as the Republican write-in candidate. He has lived in Sunbury since 1988 and has worked as a freelance journalist. Constable Quiggle says that he is issuing the resolution because he took an oath to the Constitutions of the US and Pennsylvania. He feels the NDAA and the PATRIOT Act violate both constitutions and are in direct conflict with the oath he took and his conscience. The date of the signing, May 26th, also has some historical significance. Pennsylvania has a long history of standing up for liberty, and nullifying unconstitutional federal laws, Constable Quiggle said. On May 26th, 1857 Dred Scott was emancipated. Slaves who were taken to states where slavery was illegal, and could be kidnapped and forced to go back with their masters. There were also kidnappings of fugitive slaves who had escaped to the northern states. One personal liberty law to prevent the kidnapping of fugitive slaves was passed in Pennsylvania in 1847, and is still in effect today. The law is titled, An Act: To prevent kidnapping, preserve the public peace, prohibit the exercise of certain powers heretofore exercised by Judges, Justices of the Peace, Alderman, and Jailors in this Commonwealth and to repeal certain slave laws. The Constable believes this act may already partially nullify the NDAA. Also in May 26th history, in 1938 the House Un-American Activities Committee began its first session. The committee would go on to investigate the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. The only committee member to oppose the Japanese internment was Rep. Herman Eberharter (D-PA), the rest of the committee seemed to support the internment. Constable Quiggle said: Constable Quiggle is a member of the ACLU and the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association. Contact information for the Constable is available on the Office of the Constable for the 9th Ward of the City of Sunburys website atwww.SunburyPAStateConstable.us, e-mail is the prefered method of contact.

1	The History Channel announced Thursday it will air a new documentary this fall examining the life of the late husband of prewar German model and amateur photographer Eva Braun. 'This film is a fascinating, in-depth look at a central figure in Eva Braun's life,' said History Channel spokesman Charles Lansing, adding that the broadcast will feature more than 300 archival images of Braun with her husband, a German civil servant and vegetarian noted for his charisma and interest in art. 'Braun's longtime lover had a significant impact on her views regarding politics and aesthetics, and the footage of him we've unearthed highlights the persuasive power of the man she often wrote about.' Lansing added that the new documentary, entitled The Man Behind Eva Braun, will cover the very active life of Braun's spouse right up to his sudden passing in 1945 in the basement of the couple's Berlin apartment. 
2	Texas Governor Greg Abbott Takes Massive Stand Against Obama Obama just tried to make an executive order for the protection of 5 million immigrants. The Appeals Court swiftly put that to sleep. Yesterday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott made a public stand on his opinion of Obamas plan. Moreover, he gave off the impression that Obamas policy was absolutely absurd. And hes right. The courts decision is a vindication for the rule of law and the Constitution. The presidents job is to enforce the immigration laws, not rewrite them. President Obama should abandon his lawless executive amnesty program and start enforcing the law today. This is part of the statement Abbott made. We couldnt phrase it any better than he did. Do you agree with Greg Abbott that Obama should start doing his job? 
3	Biologically Modified Soldiers Are the Future of WarfareSusanne Posel, Contributor Biologically enhanced soldiers could display mutant powers that could give the US Armed Forces an advantage. Referred to as biological modifications, or biomods, researchers into microbiology, physics and working to protect national security are collaborating with the Scitor Corporation to amplify the evolution of biomods. Scitor is a private corporation that specializes in aerospace defense, technology and engineering for US government agencies such as the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Air Force. They are owned by the equity firm Leonard Green Partners (LGP). The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) began using science to biologically modify troops under a program called Metabolic Dominance in 2002. The purpose of the MD program was to develop novel strategies that exploit and control the mechanisms of energy production, metabolism, and utilization during short periods of deployment requiring unprecedented levels of physical demand. By eliminating empathy, the DoD hopes to enhance a soldiers ability to kill without care or remorse, shows no fear, can fight battle after battle without fatigue and generally behave more like a machine than a man. Scientists are researching the construction of soldiers that feel no pain, terror and do not suffer from fatigue, as tests on the wiring of the human brain are furthered by Jonathan Moreno, professor of bioethics at Pennsylvania State University. Moreno is working with the DoD in understanding neuroscience. The Pentagon allocated $400 million to this research. Further study could be passed onto the general public in order to maximize profits as well as enhance the drugs effectiveness. According to Joel Garreau, professor at Arizona University, DARPA is learning how to genetically modify human fat into pure energy by rewiring the metabolic switch which would create soldiers that require less food. By using gene therapy and combining enhancements to alter the color of the human eye is a blending of mutations that have no basis in the natural world. Roger Pitman, professor of psychiatry at Harvard University is experimenting with propranolol which is a beta blocker that is believed to erase terrifying memories, soldiers are subjected to more research while serving to alleviate the psychological effects of war. The issue becomes which memories does the US government want to cover up when erasing soldiers mind? Would this experiment endeavor to create veterans who return without the ability to feel guilt? Modafinil, a.k.a. Provigil, is a pharmaceutical approved by the Food and Drug Administration for sleep-deprivation and renewed energy. The drug has become a favorite for college students and truck drivers. The US Military began experimenting with Provigil, calling it a super drug because soldiers given the drug were able to push normal limitations with immediate results. Jonathan Moreno of the University of Pennsylvania, authored a report on Modafinil called Juicing the Brain: Research to Limit Mental Fatigue Among Soldiers May Foster Controversial Ways to Enhance Any Persons Brain. Moreno explains that the military is searching for ways to turn the human brain into a finely tuned instrument of warfare by eliminating a soldiers need for food, sleep, friendship and turn the human body into a self-healing machine. The use of Dexedrine to keep pilots awake in the Air Force during long missions has raised safety concerns because of its addictive properties. Alternatives have been amphetamines such as Provigil which was first associated with Parkinsons and Alzheimers disease to stimulate the brain with arousal signals and increase serotonin levels at the brain stem. Using neurostimulation has interested the Air Force Office of Scientific Research working with Cephalon to devise research compiled in a study sponsored by The Royal Society. Eat grass for survival By identifying human traits as weak links in terms of warfare, DARPA seeks to change the game by utilizing emotions and bio-chemicals to enhance the abilities of soldiers and deemphasize the weaknesses.

1	Three months ago, Mark Sennis received the news that everyone dreads: Ben Murphy, a friend and coworker with whom he 'occasionally went out to lunch,' had been diagnosed with cancer. Sennis, who has been suffering from having a friend with cancer since July. 'You never think you're going to be the one,' Sennis said. 'At first, I remember thinking, 'How can this be happening to me? What have I done to deserve to have a friend with cancer?'' Sennis, who has known Murphy since they started working in the same department at Motorola in 2003, said having a friend with cancer is 'a life-altering experience.' 'People ask me how I'm doing, and I say, 'I'm scared and I'm angry,'' Sennis said. 'Unless you've personally experienced the pain and hardship that comes with having a coworker you're fairly close to get cancer, you wouldn't understand.' Sennis said that, while it initially seemed like 'life had come to an end,' he 'made the decision to keep living.' 'One thing I've learned in all this is that life goes on,' Sennis said. 'Well, maybe not for Ben. But for me. The only thing I can do is take it one day at a time.' Sennis said he doesn't want people feeling sorry for him. 'A lot of my friends start to say 'I have a friend who's just been fired,' or 'I have a friend who tore a tendon,'' Sennis said. 'Then, they realize that I have a friend with cancer, and they get quiet, like they think they can't discuss their problems with me anymore. I just want people to treat me like normal.' Sennis said he wishes he'd appreciated the good times he enjoyed with his friends before he got the news. 'You never understand what you have until your friend's cancer takes it away,' Sennis said. 'Like, I used to complain about having to go to Wednesday Wings with the guys from sales, but last week we had to cancel because Ben was getting a bone-marrow biopsy, so I sat at home alone all night.' 'It was a pretty depressing picture,' he added. Sennis said chemotherapy has been particularly hard for him. 'Ever since the chemo started, it's been a whole other story,' Sennis said. 'I had to spend a good part of my Sunday hanging out in the waiting room last week. I was so exhausted I could barely move.' 'Just try finding something decent to eat out there,' Sennis added. 'I ate a sandwich from the hospital deli, and the bread was, like, Wonderbread, and the turkey tasted terrible, like it was day-old or something.' Sennis said that, ironically, the presence of Murphy's family made the situation more difficult.' I'm going through an emotional time,' Sennis said. 'Ben's entire family was the last thing I needed at the hospital. Do you realize how hard it is to talk to people you don't know at all?' Sennis added: 'The hardest part was talking to Ben's girlfriend. I never liked her, but because of Ben, I had to go through these awkward conversations. 'How many more chemo sessions does Ben have?' 'Is Ben keeping down his food?' It was really hard.' Sennis said his struggle has made him reconsider his relationship with God. 'I wonder why God would do this to me,' Sennis said. 'It's like God is punishing me for something by giving cancer to a friend of mine.' Due to the adversity he has faced, Sennis said he has had to take special care of himself. 'I don't consider giving up an option,' Sennis said. 'So, for the past two months, twice a week, I've been treating myself to a massage. It's expensive, but it's the least I can do for myself as I go through this really tough time.' Added Sennis: 'I'm not going to let Ben's cancer beat me.' 
1	The Environmental Protection Agency launched a major new ad campaign Monday encouraging people to conserve resources by turning off their showers when theyre not showering. We estimate that Americans waste up to 20 billion gallons of water each week by leaving their bathrooms with the shower still on, heading off to a full days work followed by a full nights sleep, and then waking up the next morning to step into an already running shower, administrator Lisa P. Jackson said of the EPAs advertising effort, which includes TV spots that touts the benefits of turning showers off, such as not having a steamed-over bathroom mirror and not running out of hot water. Nobody likes the inconvenience of having to manipulate a faucet first thing in the morning, of course, but we want to show people how the pluses of not leaving the water running all the time really can outweigh the negatives. If the ads are a success, the EPA plans to launch a follow-up campaign in the spring urging people to conserve fuel by turning off their car engines when they return home for the night. 
3	Jihadi John Version 2.0By Ulson Gunnar Just as Jihadi Johns villainy reached a crescendo, the US claimed it targeted and killed him in a drone strike. Nothing resembling actual confirmation was produced afterward, and many questioned the value or impact of eliminating what was for all intents and purposes merely a figurehead. Instead of actually identifying and dismantling IS on the battlefield, the US appears to be faux-fighting the organization in a public relations campaign mimicking the simplistic narratives children might see during a G.I Joe episode on Saturday morning: The bad guy died, we are winning. However, Western audiences have a shrinking attention span coupled with a growing awareness that everything they see on the news is likely at the very least, spun. Despite this skepticism, US and European news services insist on serving up intelligence-insulting narratives seemingly designed for the minds of children, not educated, informed adults. So just as Jihadi Johns memory began to fade from the collective narrative that the US and European media pummels its audiences with daily, Jihadi John version 2.0 has been introduced. This IS doppelganger denizen appears almost identical to his predecessor, with the only difference being his brandishing of a pistol instead of a combat knife. CNN reports in its article New Jihadi John? British-sounding militant features in new ISIS video, that: An English-speaking child, and a British-sounding militant who brings to mind ISIS previous propagandist, Jihadi John, appear in the latest, chilling propaganda video from ISIS. In the video, which has not yet been independently verified, the child says that the group will kill kuffar nonbelievers over there, referring to the West, while the adult threatens and insults British Prime Minister David Cameron. The speakers accent and dress bring to mind the previous masked face of the terror group, Mohammed Emwazi, otherwise known as Jihadi John. Emwazi was understood to have been killed in Raqqa late last year in an airstrike which specifically targeted the Briton. His absence lends credence to Western intelligence agencies belief that he is indeed dead. Jihadi John 2.0 is still narrating IS high-value productions, which include gruesome executions, and the US and European media is still using him as the very convenient, extremely easy-to-hate face of IS. That Jihadi John 2.0 is taunting British Prime Minister David Cameron, is highly suspicious, considering that the British have been fighting IS for over a month now, but have conducted only 3 airstrikes, versus dozens of strikes daily by Russia accompanied by offensives carried out by a reinvigorated Syrian military on multiple fronts. Its almost as if this cartoon character, Jihadi John, is meant to intentionally offend Western sensibilities, provoking support for an otherwise unpopular and unjustifiable foreign military adventure in a country the US and UK do not otherwise belong meddling in. Ultimately, it doesnt matter who any of the incarnations of Jihadi John are. The role this figurehead plays in IS overall operation is actually superficial at best; and, under closer scrutiny, aiding and abetting US and European meddling in the region by providing an overly obvious justification to continually perpetuate geopolitical dynamics in the region aimed at transforming the Middle East into a shape more suitable to Western interests. That the United States invested time, money, and energy into allegedly killing Jihadi John, instead of identifying, exposing, and dismantling IS logistical networks, including those stretching into NATO territory itself in Turkey, seems to indicate the US is not serious at all about actually fighting or stopping IS, and instead, just interested in appearing to do so. That CNN thinks this is a story instead of asking just why the US is not trying to get to the bottom of IS source of money, supplies, weapons, fighters and political support, tells you that CNN is not interested in journalism, but like Jihadi John himself (selves?) they are nothing more than propagandists attempting to manipulate, not inform the publics perception.

1	Pennsylvania native and entertainment-news consumer Gayle Caudill admitted to a deep personal investment in the happiness and well-being of TV and film star Jennifer Aniston, an international celebrity who has a reported net worth of $80 million, and, according to Caudill, is 'a down-to-earth gal just like myself.' Like the international celebrity, Caudill has also been through 'so much.' 'She's had her share of troubles, like anyone else,' said Caudill, referring to Aniston's much-reported divorce from fellow megastar Brad Pitt. 'But if I know Jen Aniston, she'll come out on top. She's a survivor.' The divorced 41-year-old dental-office receptionist and self-proclaimed 'Team Aniston' member said she felt an 'uncanny' bond with the $8-million-per-picture superstar. The two have never met, and are not expected to. 'After hearing and reading what she's gone through these past two years, she almost seems like a little sister to me,' said Caudill of Anistonor 'Jen,' as she calls herwhose decision to pursue a high-profile acting career was made entirely without Caudill's input, as was Aniston's airing of the intimate details of her personal life that incurred Caudill's sympathy in the first place. 'Jen's had such a hard time. I just want to hug her and tell her everything's okay.' Caudill said that a major factor behind her allegiance towards Aniston, who topped People Magazine's 2006 Best Dressed list and was GQ Magazine's first-ever Woman Of The Year in 2005, was that the star 'always faces her hardships with dignity.' But Caudill sympathizes strongly with Aniston mostly because of the Emmy Awardwinning actress' underdog status. 'Her marriage ended and people knock her for being more famous for her hairdos than her acting abilityyet she always bounces back,' Caudill said. 'When something happens to me, like when I get stood up on a date or my purse clasp breaks, I try to tell myself, 'Well, if Jen can survive getting dumped by Brad...'' Aniston One item of particular concern to Caudill is the 'misconception' that Aniston, despite her memorable decade-long success as Rachel Green on Friends, hasn't fully pulled off the move from TV to the big screen. 'That's so unfair to all that Jen has accomplishedshe's so talented at both comedy and drama,' said Caudill, who herself has been bypassed for promotion twice. 'Have you seen Rumor Has It? The chemistry between Jen and Kevin Costner was just terrific.' 'People ask if she's going to be a bona fide movie star? I say she already is,' Caudill said. Caudill admitted that she sometimes worries that Aniston is not eating enough. 'Jen doesn't seem like the type to worry about her weight, but still, it's Hollywood,' she said. 'She doesn't need the stress, and she sure as heck doesn't need to be dealing with an eating disorder.' Caudill's worries were put at ease, however, when Aniston admitted on Access Hollywood that she 'eats like a hog' on set, and hardly has time to exercise when she is working. 'How can you not love this girl?' said Caudill, whose rent, credit card, and auto payments prevent her from converting her basement into a state-of-the-art workout facility, hiring a personal trainer, and making sure that her dietician suggests meals with the correct proportion of lean proteins and healthy carbohydrates. 'Jen's just dealing with the same stuff all single working women deal with.' Caudill said she particularly admired Aniston for seemingly 'not giving up on love' by pursuing a relationship with actor Vince Vaughn. Though Caudill doesn't believe that their romance will result in marriage, she is grateful that Aniston is 'seeing somebody who makes her happy,' as evidenced by a picture she recently viewed in Star Magazine of the couple laughing together on a beach. Caudill, however, was disappointed when she found out Vaughn was a smoker, saying she herself could never date a man who smokes, and was 'a little let down' when she saw paparazzi photos revealing that Aniston smoked herself. Nevertheless, she maintained that Aniston has been an 'inspiring example' in her life. Caudill remained a consistent 30 pounds overweight despite experimenting with numerous diets, and is currently dating a Scottsdalearea man who, despite being a nonsmoker, shows little interest in her and still privately yearns to reconcile with his ex-wife. Caudill said she plans to maintain a close relationship with the actress 'through thick and thin.' 'Jen's been through a lot,' Caudill said. 'But she'll come through in the end. Just like we all will, if we believe in ourselves and stick to our dreams.' 
3	WikiLeaks Exposes Newly Selected Brazilian President as Puppet for US IntelligenceBy Jay Syrmopoulos Temer, who has served as Brazils vice president since 2011, took power Thursday after Brazils parliament suspended Rousseff pending the results of impeachment proceedings. The cables marked sensitive but unclassified contained summaries of conversations Temer, a Brazilian federal lawmaker at the time, had with the U.S. intelligence officials. The damning evidence was provided in a series of tweets by the WikiLeaks Twitter account that linked to diplomatic cables highlighting the information provided to the U.S. military and National Security Council by Temer. WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) May 13, 2016 Clearly, the evolution of Unconventional War (UW), spelled out in the 2010 Special Forces Unconventional Warfare manual, has come to full fruition with the events that have unfolded in Brazil. This has unfolded in the form of Hybrid War, which is essentially a weaponization of chaos theory widely embraced across the U.S. military/intelligence spectrum. The UW manual highlights the perceptions of a vast uncommitted middle population is essential on the road to success, and that these uncommitted eventually can be turned to oppose their political leaders. The process encompasses everything from supporting insurgency (as in Syria) to wider discontent through propaganda and political and psychological efforts to discredit the government (as in Brazil). It explains that when an insurrection takes root and begins to escalate, the intensification of propaganda; psychological preparation of the population for rebellion should as well, as has been the case in Brazil. BRICS is the acronym for an association of five major emerging national economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The grouping was originally known as BRIC before the inclusion of South Africa in 2010. According to political analyst Pepe Escobar: This very well-argued three-part thesis clarifies the central objective behind a major Hybrid War; to disrupt multipolar transnational connective projects through externally provoked identity conflicts (ethnic, religious, political, etc.) within a targeted transit state The BRICS an extremely dirty word/concept in the Beltway/Wall Street axis had to be the prime targets of Hybrid War. For myriad reasons. Among them; the push for trade and commerce in their own currencies, bypassing the US dollar; the creation of the BRICS development bank; the avowed drive towards Eurasia integration, symbolized by the now converging China-led New Silk Roads or One Belt, One Road (OBOR), in its official terminology and Russia-led Eurasia Economic Union (EEU) This in large part explains the turmoil in Brazilian civic society. Although there are many structural problems inherent to the political apparatus in Brazil, these issues were exploited by external powers in an effort to create a more politically appealing environment for the U.S. and their neoliberal cronies to maneuver into positions of power as exhibited by U.S. intelligence informant,Temer ascending to the presidency of Brazil. Brazil American political analyst Eric Draitser noted inhis March article forMintPress News: The right wing is the driving force ofthe protests Two ofthe principal groups responsible fororganizing and mobilizing the demonstrations are the Free Brazil Movement (MBL) and Students forLiberty (EPL), both ofwhich have direct ties toCharles and David Koch, the right-wing, neocon, US billionaires, aswell asother leading figures ofthe far right, pro-business neoliberal establishment, Draitser wrote. Renowned journalist Glenn Greenwald got to the root of the matter, when writing that Temer will faithfully serve the interests ofBrazils richest: hes planning toappoint Goldman Sachs and IMF [International Monetary Fund] officials torun the economy and otherwise install a totally unrepresentative, neoliberal team. Make no mistake that there is a massive covert effort by the U.S. to maintain their hegemonic position in global affairs undertaken by any means necessary and aimed squarely at the BRICS. The events in Brazil are unquestionably yet another orchestrated coup organized by Washington. This new form of sophisticated Hybrid Warfare has shown itself to be an insidious weapon that can foment regime change without firing a single shot. Jay Syrmopoulos writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. They all carry water for the UN and banksters. Brazil has formally agreed to Agenda 2030. Where is Assange? No doubt his lawyer who works for the Rothschilds (literally) has been able keep him safe and sound. Wikileaks = psychological operations support. Assange is a Mossad tool Its been clear for a long time Assange and Wikileaks are tools, as are Snowden and Greenwald, yet their leaks and reports are swallowed whole, no deconstruction as to agenda and motive. The Kochs are globalists who have directly supported UN Agenda 21 and recently spent millions to encourage American hispanics to vote, casting them as right wing neocons only fuels Kabuki theater and misdirection. What gives? You failed to mention George Soros as a globalist, UN Agenda 21 type. I often mention Soros in my comments, and youre right he is on the same level as Bill Gates and the Kochs. I pointed out the misdirection on the Kochs because it is the left wing disinfo mantra that they are right wing conservatives or neocons, more left vs. right Kabuki theater that sadly this article parroted. And Greenwald is piece of work, another tool its all known so why not out him rather than quote him? Thank you kindly for your reply and the addition of the other Satan-slimies. Im sure the list is nearly inexhaustible! God bless you and yours. In Christ Jesus, (Allen) Tcob!. Youre very welcome, thank you, and same to you. Always a privilege to interact with fellow light bearers. Thank you for your kind words. They were/are much welcomed and appreciated. And the privilege is mine. Again, God bless you and yours. In Christs love, (Allen, aka) Tcob!. I have an unrelated question. I didnt know Assange and Snowden are tools. So what about the 2016 US election, can I believe Trump will bring change (money out of politics, more jobs, less debt) or will everything remain the same? Everything wont remain the same because TPTB are working feverishly to change the entire paradigm. From a Libertarian-minded perspective, the shift will be very unpleasant yet very seductively presented to technophiles and the left. Are we to take a clue from the announcement that Trump would name Rudy Giuliani as Secretary of Homeland Security? The clear pattern has been no public figure who cannot be controlled and isnt a team player will be allowed any platform whatsoever to run for POTUS and will be targeted, yet that did not happen in Trumps case. Could Trump be pretending, outsmarting the globalists? I have no way of knowing that, but it seems unlikely esp. given how easy it is for them to snoop into everyones history in fine detail, know what they read, who they communicate with, etc. Thanks. A lot to think about. I am afraid to vote. I dont dare to believe Trump is real. I would hate myself if I voted for him and he turned out to be yet another empty promise. *sigh* Youre quite welcome. As a protest vote, the Constitution Party might be an option in states where they can get on the ballot. Their key issues are clear opposing gun control, Obamacare, Common Core, open borders, and Agenda 21. Or write in your own name, youd be infinitely better then the usual cast of cronies. Hes a USA kinda guy! I spend every day wishing that these creatures of the US establishment get their just desserts, and for the murder and genocide poverty and misery, that they have caused by their interference of all countries all over the world, the trouble is that it will be the American public that will suffer for their crimes, and nothing will ever change until you get rid of the REPTILIAN ELITE THAT CONTROLS THEIR GOVERNMENT, Pray for all the evils and destructive creations of the Satanists be driven back into themselves for their own destruction. Speed up the Law of the Harvest, the as you sow, you reap law. So shameful that our US government CIA, FBI, and other alphabet soup agencies will not stop deliberate interference in other countries. Look at Central America, Argentina, Ukraine, Egypt. Sickening! Right on, krybaby. And I wish theyd get out of our lives too! Welcome to the ever-expanding NWO, the one-world government of the Antichrist.

1	In a televised address to the nation Monday, President Bush announced that the U.S. is in 'desperate need of thousands of registered Democrats' to conduct what he called an 'extremely important mission' to begin immediately and continue at least until the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Bush lauded the 'progressive American heroes' who he says will be vital in carrying out the mission. 'This mission is absolutely vital, for the next week to 10 days will determine the future of our country,' said Bush, who would not reveal what the operation entailed, only to say that it was 'highly classified.' 'We are calling on the most stalwart Democrats in the land,' Bush said. 'In fact, they are the only ones capable of making it a success.' Although details were limited, an unnamed administration official revealed that, on Wednesday, November 1, registered Democrats will be asked to report to designated government rendezvous points such as post offices and military recruiting centers. Once there, they will be registered, fingerprinted, and issued one-piece jumpsuits, bedding, and canteens of drinking water, then directed to board brown school buses bound for an undisclosed location or locations. 'Certainly it will mean sacrifice, and possibly a prolonged absence from your families,' Bush said. 'We need at least 40,000 Democrats, but more are always welcome.' 'Our very way of life depends on it,' he added. While Bush said any registered Democrat is eligible to participate, those who reside in Arizona's Fifth, Ohio's First, and Pennsylvania's Eighth Congressional Districts are most needed to ensure the mission's success. Democrats from New Jersey, Missouri, Tennessee, and 'especially Virginia' were also strongly encouraged to volunteer. Bush also called on the 64 percent of citizens upset with the handling of the situation in Iraq, the 80 percent who think Congress is doing a poor job, and the 63 percent who disapprove of his own job performance as 'supremely qualified for the special task.' Bush added that the same liberal voters with whom his administration has traditionally been at odds would be 'warmly welcomed and fully accommodated.' Bush appealed to Democrats' 'noble hearts,' describing his traditional political foes as 'a breed apartpassionate, dedicated Americans who can really make a difference.' 'Staunch supporters of abortion rights, reduced dependence on foreign oil, gay marriage, and a national system of health care: We need you now more than ever,' Bush said. 'Registered Democrats in Michigan and Georgia who believe that the federal minimum wage needs to be increased and that global warming is being inadequately addressed are perfectly suited for such a selfless venture.' Bush's announcement drew an enthusiastic reaction from a Republican Congress dispirited by a series of scandals and criticism over its lackluster legislative performance. I am delighted that, in this arduous midterm election season, the White House is finally reaching across the aisle to these fine, vigilant individuals, said Sen. Rick Santorum (RPA), who is up for re-election around the same time as the proposed mission. 'Despite our differences, I know the Democrats of my home state are the kinds of folks the president is talking aboutstrong, devoted, caring people who support stem-cell research and stronger gun laws.' Acknowledging the 'tough times and hardship' endured by soldiers stationed in Iraq, Bush also announced plans to give the entire military the day off on Nov. 7 so they can take some time to 'relax, reflect, and vote.' 
1	Shortly after the NBA announced that Ron Artest would be suspended for Game 2 for elbowing Manu Ginobili in the head during the third quarter of the Spurs-Kings series opener, the Kings forward issued a barely concealed threat in which he promised that he would return for Game 3 'in classic form' and that 'the gloves are off for this one.' 'Everybody better watch out, because I'm more motivated than ever to get out there and do some real damage on the court,' Artest said in a statement directed either at members of the Spurs, or members of the Spurs, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, NBA referees, members of the Kings, and the approximately 17,317 fans scheduled to be in attendance at ARCO Arena Friday night. 'The only way to truly even this series is to get back to basics, play Ron Artest basketball, and use the same techniques that got me to where I am today.' Asked to clarify his remarks, Artest would only say that he planned to 'really outdo himself this time' and that Friday's matchup would be 'a heavyweight fight to the finish, and if I can get Big Bear and Crusher to the arena, possibly even a dogfight.' 
3	The President Of France Wants Eurozone Members To Transfer Their Sovereignty To A United States Of EuropeBy Michael Snyder This federal government would have a prime minister, a parliament, a federal budget and a federal treasury. Presumably, the current national governments in Europe would continue to function much like state governments in the U.S. do. In the end, there may be some benefits to such a union particularly for the weaker members of the eurozone. But at what cost would those benefits come? When I first learned that French President Francois Hollande had proposed that the members of the eurozone should create their own version of a federal government, I was quite stunned. But I shouldnt have been surprised. For the global elite, the answer to just about any problem is more centralization. The following comes from aBloomberg article that was posted on Sunday French President Francois Hollande said that the 19 countries using the euro need their own government complete with a budget and parliament to cooperate better and overcome the Greek crisis. Circumstances are leading us to accelerate, Hollande said in an opinion piece published by the Journal du Dimanche on Sunday. What threatens us is not too much Europe, but a lack of it. So precisely what would more Europe look like? Hollande envisions a central government thathas both a parliament and a federal budget I have proposed taking up Jacques Delors idea about euro government, with the addition of a specific budget and a parliament to ensure democratic control, Hollande said. His remarks touched on what analysts have seen as a major flaw in the euro. Under the 1992 Treaty of Maastricht, countries which share a common currency must obey rules on borrowing and deficit spending. But the Greek crisis saw one of the 19 eurozone members notch up successive worsening deficits and amass a mountain of debt. The problems were only addressed by bailouts from the European institutions and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Critics say the problem stems from a lack of centralised control over national fiscal policies, which today are jealously guarded areas of sovereignty. In addition, this eurozone government would have its own prime minister. In essence, he would be the European version of the president of the United States. The following comes fromthe Independent There would be a eurozone government with its own prime minister, the officials said. This government would have its own budget separate from the EU budget to aid and invest in more fragile countries, It would try to harmonise corporation and pay-roll taxes to ensure fair competition in the eurozone. Of course Hollande is not the only one calling for more centralization. Last month, European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem proposed a plan that would createa shared European treasury Draghi called for the creation of a shared treasury within 10 years in a joint proposal with politicians including European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem last month. I dont anticipate that we will see any of these things implemented immediately. However, what is important is the fact that this is where the European elite plan to take Europe. And when the next great European financial crisis erupts, these proposals will be offered as the solutions necessary to end the crisis. During times of emergency, the elite are often able to push things through that they would never be able to accomplish under normal circumstances. At the moment, it would be extremely difficult to get everyone to agree to a full-blown United States of Europe. But if things were to start spinning wildly out of control and people were suddenly desperately clamoring for solutions, the environment would be quite different. What that time arrives, the key will be to get Germany and France to agree on what a United States of Europe should look like. If Germany and France can agree, it is inevitable that most of the other members of the eurozone would ultimately fall in line. One potential hurdle for the creation of this new government would be the euro. The current treaty agreements concerning the euro are quite complicated and quite restrictive. If Germany and France decided that they did want to create a United States of Europe, they might have to create an entirely new currency in order to accomplish that. I know that sounds kind of crazy right now, but at one time the concept of the euro sounded really crazy too. For the moment, the debt crisis in Europe just continues to get even worse. Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Belgium and France are all drowning in debt. Whether or not we see a Grexit in the short-term, I fully expect that European bond yields will continue to rise and European stocks will take quite a tumble in the months ahead. I believe that we are right on the verge of a very significant European financial crisis. In particular, keep on eye on the big banks. Just like in the United States, the too big to fail banks in Europe are massively overleveraged and are tremendously exposed to derivatives. In fact, the bank with the most exposure to derivatives on the entire planet is Deutsche Bank. It has been reported that Deutsche Bank has a whopping 75 trillion dollars worth of exposure to derivatives, their co-CEOs were recently forced to resign, and there are all sorts of rumblings about troubles going on behind the scenes at the bank. What do you think would happen if the biggest and most important bank in Germany suddenly became the next Lehman Brothers? That is something to think about. Meanwhile, the euro continues to fall. For a long time, I have been repeating my prediction that the euro would fall to parity with the U.S. dollar. One year ago, the EUR/USD was sitting at 1.35. Today, it has come all the way down to 1.08. There will be more ups and downs, but we are almost there. A time of great chaos is coming to Europe, and the eurozone will be deeply shaken. But whether or not there is a break up of the eurozone in the short-term, in the long-term the goal of the European elite is even more integration and even more centralization. So even though there will be significant bumps in the road, I fully expect to see the United States of Europe that French President Francois Hollande has proposed. Do you agree? What do you think the future holds for Europe?

Follow him on Twitter here. The president of France is a political prostitute, of course he wants to sell the French people into further slavery. They are all part of the chess game. Extracting from the masses to support their hedonism. Im thinking it would be nice if every state U.S.- would create its own currency. It would be more difficult to for the beast to control and no usury fees err umm taxes err umm extortion. btw: not everyone appreciates the artistry of the green back. Hollande, shut up, solve the problem! 
1	An unidentified lawyer and lobbyist revealed Monday that a 'sniveling yellow streak' led him to anonymously divulge U.S. State Department misconduct. 'I am a blubbering cream puff with no guts whatsoever,' said the source, 44, who wished to remain anonymous. 'People should know what officials are doing, but I'm a big baby, and I can't risk my job or reputation by revealing my identity.' The source spoke to reporters in a dark parking garage, then disappeared into the blackness. 
1	Calling his bowing and candle-work sloppy at best, parishioners at Holy Family Church told reporters yesterday that new altar boy Christopher Mains, 11, was clearly not ready for the spotlight of the 10 a.m. Sunday Mass. As soon as that kid got to the altar and barely even genuflected, I knew he was in way over his head. This is Sunday morning; youve got to be on your A-game, said church attendee Betsy Pollana, noting that she might expect that kind of performance at a 7 p.m. Wednesday Mass, or possibly even at 5:30 on Saturday, but certainly not at the main event. He rang the bell way too late during consecration, he had no clue how to hold a thurible, and frankly, Im at a loss for what he thought he was doing during the communion. Sorry, but until youve got your routine locked down, youve got no business headlining Sunday. Pollana added that if she so much as saw Mains processing down the aisle next Sunday, shed walk straight out of the church and not come back until the 1:30 p.m. Mass. 
2	Michelle Obama Tells Her Biggest Lie In 6 Years Well, it appears that Michelle Obama is not yet done digging her own grave. According to recent reports, she just told the biggest lie to date. In a recent speech, Michelle reportedly claimed that Americans dont realize that her husband has actually improved as a leader while he has been in office. The comment has Americans scratching their heads. Obamas entire election was based on the ideas of hope and change, and unfortunately for the president, the only change that he has implemented seems to be for the worse. Even Democrats are rethinking their choice to elect Obama for a second term. During the speech surrounding the mid-term election, Michelle decided to defend her husband, saying only positive things about him. She claimed he has done everything possible to turn the country around. She even claimed he was one of Americas best presidents. To prove her point, she told the crowd that children will see that someone of a different culture can be in the White House. Okay, so that is perhaps the one thing we cant argue. Everything else seems to be a delusion. What do you think about Michelles speech?

2	Grandfather To Be Exhumed Because His Grave Offends Muslims [SEE PHOTOS] According to recent reports, a family may be forced to exhume the grave of 89-year-old Shadrack Smith, after a Muslim living next to the graveyard claimed that he was a non-believer. Smith was buried on January 30, and more than 400 people came to celebrate his life. Shortly afterward, his family was told that they may be forced to move his body. This whole thing has devastated our family, Smiths daughter-in-law told reporters. We were told when bought the plots that it was a multi-faith cemetery and it is, but the council has been so unsupportive. According to Smiths daughter, the council has tried to bend over backwards to please the Muslim family. Meanwhile, Smiths family is fighting to hold the spot they rightfully paid for. 
1	Admitting it was pretty disappointing to still be using a standard, single-function water fixture every morning, local 28-year-old Kelsey Bishop told reporters Wednesday that she had always thought shed have a far more impressive showerhead by this point in her life. I figured that once I was out of college and working for a while, Id be in a place where Id have a showerhead with multiple spray settings and some kind of massage feature, not one of these fixed chrome ones, said Bishop, adding that she had wholly expected to own a rainfall shower panel with a detachable handheld component by the time she was approaching her 30s. Its not like I pictured myself having multiple showerheads or wall-mounted body jets by this age. At the very least, though, I thought there would be a glass door that swings on a hinge instead of a gross plastic curtain. But life doesnt always work out the way you want. Bishop was reportedly still holding out hope that she would have a separate bathtub that was on the entirely opposite side of the bathroom from her shower before turning 40. 
1	Speaking to reporters Tuesday from his spacious corner office in the companys sleek downtown corporate headquarters, Harbor Corrections Group CEO Walter G. Parks reminisced fondly about the businesss humble beginnings as a modest six-cell prison. Parks recalled how he founded HCG in 1986, back when [he] was just a kid, in his words, with a single government contract and only a handful of convicts to his companys name, pausing often to share colorful asides about his businesss early struggles. The executive then marveled at how his small, independent operation had since grown into a $3 billion detention-services firm with offerings that expand beyond criminal incarceration to encompass the confinement of juvenile offenders, the mentally ill, and migrants awaiting deportation. Id say weve come a long way since those crazy early days, said Parks, chuckling at the thought of the multiple loans he took out to finance the initial 1,300-square-foot facility and the long hours he put in trying to get the companys name out to various states departments of corrections. When we opened for business, all we had was two or three part-time guards for the whole placethats it. We didnt even have a watchtower at first, just a guy on the roof who sat in a folding chair with a rifle on his lap. Hard to believe, but thats how we got our start. If youd told me back thenback when we had only one basketball hoop in the yard and barely enough money to keep the surveillance cameras onthat one day wed have 80,000 beds at 60 facilities in 22 states, Id have called you nuts, he continued. According to Parks, it was all hands on deck the first few years, and for a time, he handled the intake of each prisoner personally, filling out all the necessary forms and overseeing the filing system, and even stepping in on occasion to act as the facilitys cook to provide the inmates with their three square meals a day. In those days, he said, the cell HCG used for solitary confinement doubled as its office supply closet. Now, his employees work in more roomy environs, with the companys 40-person in-house lobbying division occupying an entire floor of a modern office complex. Parks confirmed that for much of its first decade in business, the company might go weeks, or even months, without securing a no-bid contract to ship in prisoners from out of state. But in 1995, after a handful of well-placed campaign contributions and a concerted effort to help pass tough three strikes sentencing laws in state legislatures, HCG was reportedly able to break ground on its first of many full-size maximum-security prisons. There were times early on when Id walk down the hall, pass only three or four inmates, and think, How are we going to make it to the end of the month? said Parks, recalling several periods in which the company hemorrhaged money due to low recidivism, the result of occasional public investment in criminal rehabilitation programs. Compare that to now, though, when all of our prisons are filled to the gills and were housing the overflow on bunks in the gymnasiums. And whats more, were hiring them all out as manual labor at pennies on the dollar, he added. Talk about a success story. Parks confided that in the days before mandatory minimum sentences became widespread, the only thing that kept HCG in business was the occasional prison riot, which resulted in more time being added to inmates sentences, helping to ensure more of the companys cells stayed occupied and bolstering its revenue. Nowadays, he explained, his business is so successful that it can pick and choose whom it imprisons, turning away difficult criminals who are more costly to house. Sure, it was touch and go for a while, said Parks, admitting he used to second-guess whether it would ever be possible to break even at this game. But that just makes it all the sweeter now that weve come out the other side and can now call ourselves an industry leader. At this rate, were going to have 40 additional facilities in the United States by 2025, he added. And weve got plans for more on the way.

1	ESPN programming executives announced Wednesday the debut of a new show called The Pulse that will air afternoons on ESPN and evenings on ESPN2 and which will consist of an attractive blonde host reading tweets and Facebook comments to the camera for a half hour. This new show will tap into the real conversations taking place across social channels and then literally repeat those conversations back to people, said Jamie Horowitz, vice president of original programming. We are confident that a beautiful, flaxen-haired young woman flirtatiously reading short, easy-to-digest messages aloud is exactly the kind of innovative programming that the discerning modern sports fan demands. After several rounds of test marketing, the collected data suggested that The Pulse has the potential to become the most popular program on the entire ESPN family of networks despite frequently veering completely off the topic of sports.

We found that 65 percent of the time, people will completely write off another individual if their facial hair isnt well kempt, said lead researcher Henry Miles, adding that facial-hair scrutiny is 40 percent higher at social functions, such as parties, weddings, and family gatherings. Moreover, our data indicates that, 75 percent of the time, when one individual looks at another, the first thought that goes through his or her head is, Does this person know the right level of stubble for his facial structure and overall build? The study advised those men wishing to avoid their peers harsh judgment to go out and buy 450,000 Philips Norelco Click & Style razors immediately.

Singing the Lords Prayer has been a 70-year tradition at the Ohio school. The school removed the song from last Sundays program. We said okay, we just wont do it anymore, a school administrator told reporters. It was a decision made because we dont have a lot of money and wed rather hire teachers than pay lawyers.

3	Interpol Links Multiple Jail Breaks To Terror ThreatChris Carrington Interpol cited prison escapes in Iraq, Libya and Pakistan, and the agency is investigating whether the events were connected. In the most recent escape, 248 prisoners were sprung from a jail in north-west Pakistan. Taliban militants used automatic weapons and bombs to break down the walls of the jail in Dera Ismail Khan on 30 July. At least 13 people were killed, including six police officers. The authorities said 30 of those who escaped were hardened militants jailed for involvement in suicide bombings and other serious attacks. Hundreds of inmates escaped from two jails in Iraq Abu Ghraib to the west of Baghdad and Taji to the north earlier in July. Five days later, some 1,200 inmates broke out of a jail in the Libyan city of Benghazi. In France, President Francois Hollande spoke of specific threats but gave no additional details Ive decided to close the embassy of France in Yemen because, now, weve had elements that allowed us to think that these threats were extremely serious, Hollande told reporters Saturday. He did not specify the source or nature of the information concerning potential attacks. (source) Calling for increased vigilance, Interpol says it is prioritising information and intelligence related to the breakouts. The Interpol alert comes after the US issued a global travel alert because of fears of an unspecified al-Qaeda attack. The State department said on Friday that the potential for an attack was particularly strong in the Middle East and North Africa. The US global travel alert was based on information from intercepts of electronic communications between senior al-Qaeda figures, according to officials quoted by the New York Times. In its report, the New York Times says high-level intercepts were collected and analyzed this week and that the CIA, state department and White House immediately recognized their significance.

1	The federal government shut down again on Monday at 5 p.m. when a bat was spotted flying around the inside of the U.S. Capitol building. Legislators, fearing they may be attacked by the bat, have suspended all governmental activity until it flies out a window, is shooed away by someone with a broom, or is ultimately done away with by U.S. pest control experts. A stray bat (inset) flew into the U.S. Capitol Monday, causing legislators to cover their faces and flee from the building. Sen. Bob Dole described it as 'scary.' The bat gave us a good scare, said Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole (R-KS), who is waiting on the steps of the Capitol with other lawmakers until the bat is removed. Theres no way in hell Im going back in there, he said. He might get into my hair. House Speaker Newt Gingrich agreed that there is no chance Congress will begin working on vital issues such as rebuilding our infrastructure and cutting taxes for working families until the bat has flown away. According to Gingrich, Is he still in there? Somebody go see if hes still in there. Added Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI): Bats bite, dont they? The bat was discovered by Senator George Klwertyuo (D-VT), who happened to be looking up during a debate over a budget appropriations bill. He noticed the pint-sized beast flying in a swooping, figure-eight pattern, seeming to be headed straight for a wall or ceiling, then veering away at just the last moment in an eerily unpredictable fashion. Klwertyuo screamed, Bat! and pointed upward. All heads craned to see the flying vermin. The debate instantly halted as all eyes followed the bat flapping back and forth aloft in the legislative chamber. Occasionally a few gasps were uttered as the bat swerved frightfully close to ground level and senators instinctively shielded their heads and faces from potential attack. Senator Milton Hershsod (R-MO), a decorated World War II combat veteran, noticed that the bat had stopped flying around and was perched on an out-of-the-way banister. The senator came at the bat with a paper bag, attempting to capture it and set it loose. But, according to witnesses, the bat emitted a terrifying shriek, causing Hershsod to run away and dive under a nearby table. Legislators, gripped by panic, sprinted out the door, screeching in a manner similar to young children. Pest control units scrambled from nearby Quantico, VA, and hope to have the bat safely removed from the chamber by mid-February. The bat represents the biggest pest-related government shutdown since late last month, when a silverfish was spotted on the wainscoting of the Senate Finance Committee offices. 
1	Criticizing the amount of time and money wasted between a condemned individuals sentencing and eventual execution, Saudi government officials expressed frustration Monday over the countrys costly three-hour appeals process for convicts facing the death penalty. We cant allow our courts to be bogged down by these frivolous challenges, which are a drain on resources and can delay justice for much of the afternoon, said prosecutor Ayman al-Kazaz, who added that paying to feed and house capital offenders for up to 180 minutes was unconscionable. What should be a fairly straightforward process is often needlessly put on hold or pushed back until a later part of the day, and these guys waiting for their appeals to be heard are allowed to spend the intervening hour or two just kicking back in a jail cell. Its ridiculous. Al-Kazaz later admitted he was optimistic the government would eventually streamline the process by limiting death-row inmates to a single verbal appeal made while the executioner raises his sword. 
3	Judicial Watch Played Into The Governments HandsAmericans Are Blinded By Agendas Disinformation succeeds because so many people and interest groups across the political spectrum find that it serves their agendas as well as the agenda of the government. Consider for example the explanation of 9/11 that blamed Muslim terrorists for the attack. This served the interests of the neoconservatives, the private armaments companies, the US military, the private security companies, government security agencies such as the CIA, the left-wing, the right-wing, the Israel Lobby, and the print and TV media. The official explanation gave the neoconservatives the new Pearl Harbor that they needed for their program of invasions of Middle Eastern countries. The private armaments companies could look forward to decades of high profits. Wars always bring the military rapid promotions and higher retirement benefits. Private manufacturers of security equipment and spyware enjoy a rising demand for their products and have grown fat from the products sold to the TSA and NSA. Homeland Security has vastly expanded the federal workforce and administrative positions. The left-wing has proof of blowback caused by US interference in the internal affairs of other countries. The right-wing has proof that America has enemies against whom defense at all costs is necessary. The Israel Lobby has the US to overthrow the regimes in the way of Israels territorial expansion. The media has the story of the century with which to boost ratings and curry the favor of government. These are formidable interests arrayed against the mere obvious truth, obvious, that is, to any educated person. The 2,100 Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth have no vested interest in any explanation of 9/11. Indeed, they are harmed by disproving, as they have done, the governments explanation. None of them will ever again get a government contract, and many of their former clients have turned their backs on those damn anti-Americans who dont believe their own government! Cass Sunstein, a Chicago and Harvard law professor who sold out his integrity, if any, to the Obama regime by accepting an appointment and arguing that the federal government should infiltrate the 9/11 truth movement with agents and set-up truth-tellers so that they could be discredited, possibly even prodding them into actions for which they could be arrested. In other words, the governments story cannot stand the light cast by the facts and independent experts, and the governments false story must be protected by shutting down the truth-telling experts. The government, Sunstein argued, needs to either gain control over these experts or to shut them down. No one remembered that the US government, unable to find bin Laden for 10 years, had settled on a different 9/11 mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and had him water-boarded 183 times until he confessed to being responsible for 9/11. If Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was responsible for the 9/11 operation from A to Z, why were SEALS sent, illegally, into Pakistan to murder bin Laden? As the FBI says, there is no evidence that bin Laden is responsible for 9/11. That is why bin Laden was not wanted on that charge by the FBI, as the FBI publicly stated. How was bin Laden, who was known in 2001 to be suffering from terminal illnesses, including renal failure, and whose death was widely reported in 2001 still alive ten years later to be murdered by SEALs? What sense does it make that the greatest terrorist leader of our time only had two unarmed women to protect him. What sense does it make that the US would murder the terrorist mastermind with all the plots in his head instead of capturing and questioning him? How can anyone be so gullible as to believe such a nonsense tale as told to them by Obama and the presstitute media? Is America really a nation of utter fools? Like the 9/11 story, the story of bin Ladens murder is losing credibility with the US population. Pakistani National TV shot Obamas story down with an eyewitness interview that reported that not one single person, dead body, or any piece of evidence left Abbottadad, because the only helicopter that landed blew up when it attempted to leave and there were no survivors. No other helicopters landed. So there was no dead bin Laden to be buried at sea (there are no known witnesses to the alleged burial) and no photographs of a dead bin Laden. Yet the nonexistent photos of a dead bin Laden have now emerged in controversy. Allegedly, the US government had photos of bin Ladens corpse after he was blown away by trigger-happy SEALs who didnt have enough sense to keep the mastermind alive for questioning. The tough macho SEALs were so threatened by two unarmed women that they just opened fire. Judicial Watch has been trying to pry the (nonexistent) photos of a dead bin Laden from the governments hands. For national security reasons the US government does not want anyone to see evidence that supports its far-fetched tale of bin Ladens murder. The photographic evidence of a successful raid are off limits. They are like the alleged videos of the airliner hitting the Pentagon that we are not permitted to see for national security reasons. In other words, the photos and videos do not exist and never did. No government, not even the American one, would be so totally stupid as to withhold the evidence for its claims. The government, seeing its unbelievable stories lose believability at home and abroad used Judicial Watchs lawsuit to boost the credibility of its story. Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit for the photos that the Obama regime alleged to have of the murdered bin Laden but refused to release. Obviously, the government has no such photos and never had any such photos. But the government does not need evidence when it can rely on the gullibility of the American people. As the government had no photos to release, the US government decided to use the opportunity presented by Judicial Watch to bolster its story that photos of bin Laden murdered and dead were once in its possession. The government released to Judicial Watch a document under the Freedom of Information Act that is an order from Special Operations Commander Admiral William McRaven to destroy immediately the photos of the dead bin Laden. Judicial Watch took the bait. Instead of realizing that there was no reason whatsoever for the government to destroy the only evidence that might support its claim to have murdered bin Laden, Judicial Watch focused on the illegality of destroying the evidence. Judicial Watch says that Federal law contains broad prohibitions against the concealment, removal, or mutilation generally of government records. (Source) Judicial Watch played into the governments hands. Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton was maneuvered by the government into defining the scandal as the destruction of evidence, revealing both contempt for the rule of law and the American peoples right to know. To the contrary, the real scandal is the massive lie that bin Laden was killed by a SEAL raid and the acceptance of this lie by the American people and Judicial Watch. By damning the government for destroying evidence, Judicial Watch has given credibility to the governments claim that SEALs murdered Osama bin Laden. The SEAL team credited with bin Ladens murder was quickly eliminated when the team was loaded onto a 1960s vintage helicopter in Afghanistan. Apparently the team members were asking one another, Were you on that mission that killed bin Laden? Of course, no one was, and this information was too dangerous for the Obama regime.

3	Watching Major Media Commit Suicide: Notes On The End Of The News Business As We Know ItBy Jon Rappoport This article goes to many places. I think youll find a place that works for you. Ive been investigating and reporting on deep medical fraud for 29 years. Ive been around the block a few hundred times. Ive spoken with scientists who work for the government and universities, and the media operatives who support them. I know the game. If Robert F Kennedy Jr is, indeed, given the green light by President Trump to investigate vaccine safety, hes going to need a truck and a chain and DOJ threats of prosecution to drag key CDC scientists into the light and elicit specific statements from them. Even then, the odds are these scientists will keep repeating the party line: vaccines are overwhelmingly safe; they have no connection to autism or other neurological damage; the science is settled. Kennedy could run up against an organized wall of silencescientists refusing to speak with him, on the basis that he isnt qualified to make judgements in their field. In that case, he will need subpoena power, for starters. Many years ago, I interviewed Jim Warner, a White House policy analyst in the Reagan administration. He had been trying to obtain medical-research information from the federal National Institutes of Health. He told me he was given the absolute cold shoulder: If ever Ive been tempted to believe in socialism, science has disabused me of that. These guys [at NIH] assume that its their show. They just assume it. Arrogance par excellence. Scientists rebuff the White House with a yawn. Fortunately, Kennedy is a relentless investigator. He understands how science is corrupted and paid for. And the ace in the deck is this: there is already enough evidence in the open record to refute the CDCs claim of vaccine safety. Trump has blazed a trail of rejecting major media. As a result of his merciless attacks, press outlets are going mad pushing numerous outlandish fake stories. Theyre ripe for further incursions on their territory. In the past, this was the pattern: an outsider enters the scene and accuses the government of vast fraud; media operators assemble their usual cast of sordid characters, who dismiss the charges; everybody goes home and the story dies. But thats not working anymore. Media pomposity is exposed as fakery. Millions of people see through the ruse. The media emperor is naked. He can prance around and around, but his fundamental nakedness keeps compounding the joke. Truth be told, as their financial positions sink into dire red ink, press operations are trapped. Why? Because they are partners with the high-level criminals whose activities are the very stories the public wants to know about. Reporting on these crimes in great depth, day after day, would resuscitate the newspapers and broadcast networks. But that will never happen. For example, these crimes: And a hundred more issues. Expose these down to the core, and people would buy newspapers off the rack like they buy coffee and beer and video games and cell phones and gasoline and underwear and toilet paper and lipstick and fast food. The Times would have to schedule extra press runs just to keep up with the demand. Its financial bottom line would soon look like Christmas. You could talk to the publisher of the New York Times and present him with an ironclad plan for pulling his paper out of its deep financial hole, based on covering true stories like those above, and you would find no joy, because he would rather go down with the ship than go up against the Matrix. The Times and other hoary media outlets live by the rule of limited hangout. In intelligence parlance, that means admitting a small piece of the truth in order to hide the rest. Well show you a tree in the forest, but not the forest. I know how it works, because as a reporter Ive been there. Ive approached editors of various media outlets with stories that crack the trance, and Ive had those stories tossed back at me. Were just not interested, they say. This isnt our kind of piece. Or: Well, we already covered that. But they didnt cover it. They did a limited hangout on it. They ran a story that exposed one tiny corner of a whole bloody mess. I say thisas simple factif any intelligent, aggressive, truly independent investigator were the managing editor of the New York Times, and if he were given free rein, he would have that paper back in the black in a year. He would have it roaring on all cylinders. He would have people fighting each other in the streets to grab the last copy off the newsstand. Journalism schools all over the country would close down in shame. Because he would be running stories that would crack the whole rotting edifice of cartel-control along many fronts, and he would be filling up a planned vacuum of truth with fire. A decade ago, here is what a working reporter for a major paper told me: We know what stories we cant cover. Nobody needs to prep us. Our editors know, too. Otherwise, theyd never get to be editors. A player in a non-profit group once told me I could have a job with a paper on the east coast. In a roundabout way, he hinted at what they were looking for. In five minutes, I saw the handwriting on the wall. Essentially, the editor was searching for a reporter who would cover politics in Central America. The stories would have to favor the repressive governments in power. The basic cover was: these leaders were fighting the good fight against Communism. The death squads they were sending out, in cooperation with the CIA, were freedom fighters. And of course, any mention of cocaine trafficking as a means for obtaining weapons was off-limits. None of this was spelled out. But the message was clear. They wanted a propaganda specialist. If I, as an up and coming reporter, decided to play ball, I could advance up the ladder. Apparently, some travel was necessary. But I knew I could turn out reams of copy without ever leaving my apartment, because I grasped the fundamental angle I was supposed to pursue. Needless to say, I turned down the offer. It was the first time I fully realized how easy the job of reporting could be. Assemble a list of reliable sources (who would support the mandatory point of view), walk right into a prepared group of corporate and think-tank allies, pull down copy from wire services, and re-write stories in a way that bolstered the idea that American Empire was really spreading democracy to the less fortunate. A walk in the park. Twenty years later, I saw the same overall pattern in hundreds of major-media storiesbut the point of view and the mandate had changed. Now it was all about Globalism. The covert op was the takedown of America, in order to squash the last vestige of political freedom and integrate the nation in a new economic order. However, over the mountains, a new dawn was rising: the Internet. Independent media outlets. The resistance. It was immediately obvious that, unless someone could shut this new creature down, major media would have no way to challenge the invasion. Independent news sources would gradually wreck MSM financial bottom lines. Fronting for Globalist princes, Big News would see their bias exposed time and time again. The blowback on them would be enormous. Trapped and corned like rats, they would attack, but their efforts would only compound their problem. Then a populist named Donald Trump strolled on to the scene. He knew major media were suffering great losses. He knew online media were in the ascendance. He had people like Steve Bannon (Breitbart) who were bringing him up to speed. He saw how Matt Drudge was obliterating traditional news sources, even while (selectively) linking to them. A revolution was in progress. Trump had the right stuff for this situation, because he didnt care about offending people. He was mercurial, reckless; an opportunist. He could fly by the seat of his pants. He realized where and how, in America, the Globalists were causing great damage. Trump accelerated the fall of major media from their thrones. People around the world, untold millions, thought to themselves, Trump is finally giving major media what they deserve. Giving the major media what they deserve is a force to be reckoned with, because there is no effective response to it. Nothing works. Who can lead the fight to preserve mainstream news? Answer: mainstream news. That isnt going to go anywhere, because more and more people are rejecting the mainstream wholesale. Think of major media as a ship. In full view of the passengers, the captain has just steered it into a shore of high rocks. The craft is beginning to tilt, and its taking on water. As the passengers scramble to safety on the beach, the captain is yelling, Dont leave, come back, everything is all right, I didnt do anything wrong, its your fault, youre too stupid to understand the correct principles of navigation! Translation: Im committing suicide. Go down with me. As a reporter starting out in the 1980s, one of my first glimpses of trouble involved a few of the papers I was writing for: they were definitely on the political Left, but at the same time they were businesses. You only had to look at the ads choking the pages to see that. They were capitalist enterprises. But they would never fully admit that. They were operating under a self-induced, self-serving delusion about fundamental economics. Eventually, larger publishers bought them out, and a few of the old guard made significant dollars on the deals. It was an old story about socialists getting rich. This contradiction plagues every major media outlet today. They claim to serve the public interest, but they want to be rich. Their reporters want very nice salaries. And this is all in the service of Globalism, which aims to bankrupt economies and drive populations into the arms of technocrat planners of societies. It doesnt add up. It doesnt work. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be rich and working hard to achieve it. But claiming, at the same time, that you want the government to run the economy is a sick joke. A transparently sick joke, on the order of wealthy celebrities stumping for socialism, while they hire more armed security and dig bunkers on their walled properties. Suppose you could approach a well-known and well-paid reporter for the New York Times. And suppose you said this: For years, youve been writing about the less fortunate and giving back and more government support for the downtrodden and humanitarianism and so onso I want to know, would you be willing to donate two-thirds of your salary, for the sake of equality, to those who need the money? Would you be willing to sell your co-op and give the money to the poor and move into a small apartment? The duplicitous and slimy major media are obviously engaged in a long con. They want their cake, they want to eat it, and they also want to appear as architects of a more humane planet. They care about a more humane order in the same way an ant cares about space travel. They care about serving their bosses, and those bosses have other bosses who are engineering a future of poverty for all, as a mechanism of control. Thats whos paying reporters their salaries. Do you know what a tired rich media liberal (fake socialist) looks like? Of course you do. You can see one every night anchoring the national news. Over the years, Ive spoken with a few of these types. In every case, Ive gotten the impression theyre sitting on a keg of dynamite. They know how precarious their position is. Theyre surprised theyve lasted as long as they have. Their spouting of liberal homilies is transparent. Where did they go wrong? Answer: the first day they accepted their first job as a reporter. Thats when they sold out. They knew it then, and under cheesy layers of vast pretensions, they still know it now. But they cant turn around. Theyve made a commitment. They tell themselves: Its business. Its not personal. This is the business Im in. But of course, it is personal. Everything is personal. Were talking about lives and minds and souls. Thats what these reporters traded, in the perverse corner of the marketplace. They chose the rackets, the information mafia, the law of omerta, the dishonorable underground that lives in the highest penthouses. Whatever gloss they lay on, the trap theyre in stays in place. And now, theyre sinking and sinking. I could try to work up pity for them, buy why bother? Damage is damage, and theyve done a great deal of it. A full confession would make a start, but thats not going to happen. Theyre in a race with themselves. How long can they keep erecting delusions about their work, vs. their growing realization about those delusions? Its inescapably personal. It always was. The night is falling on them, and the rain is coming down, too. Their mandate is to be on the Inside, but theyre on the Outside now. Theyre the walking dead. Theyll keep walking, but things will never be the same. As a long addendum, here is a backgrounder, an article I wrote headlined, Howard Beale, the last sane man on television: The best film ever made about televisions war on the population is Paddy Chayefskys scorching masterpiece, Network(1976). Yet it stages only a few minutes of on-air television. The rest of the film is dialogue and monologue about television. Thus you could say that, in this case, word defeats image. Even when showing what happens on the TV screen, Network bursts forth with lines like these, from newsman Howard Beale, at the end of his rope, on-camera, speaking to his in-studio audience and millions of people in their homes: So, you listen to me. Listen to me! Television is not the truth. Televisions a god-damned amusement park. Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion tamers, and football players. Were in the boredom-killing business We deal in illusions, man. None of it is true! But you people sit there day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds. Were all you know. Youre beginning to believe the illusions were spinning here. Youre beginning to think that the tube is reality and that your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the tube tells you. You dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube. You even think like the tube. This is mass madness. You maniacs. In Gods name, you people are the real thing. We are the illusion. Beale, coming apart at the seams, is a mad prophet. And because he shines with brilliance and poetry, he can affect minds. Therefore, the television network can make use of him. It can turn him into a cartoon for the masses. It is Beales language and the passion with which he delivers it that constitutes his dangerous weapon. Therefore, the Network transforms him into a cheap religious figure, whose audience slathers him with absurd adoration. Televisions enemy is the word. Its currency is image. Beale breaks through the image and defiles it. He cracks the egg. He stops the picture-flow. He brings back the sound and rhythm of spoken poetry. That is his true transgression against the medium that employs him. The modern matrix has everything to do with how knowledge is acquired. Television, in the main, does not attempt to impart knowledge. It strives to give the viewer the impression that he knows something. There is a difference. Knowledge, once established, is external to, and independent of, the viewer. Whereas the impression of knowing is a feeling, a conviction, a belief the viewer holds, after he has watched moving images on a screen. Images plus, of course, in the case of the news, the narrative voice. A basic premise of New Age thinking is: everything is (connected to) everything. This fits quite well with the experience of watching film or video flow. Example: we see angry crowds on the street of a foreign city. Then young people on their cell phones sitting in an outdoor caf. Then the marble lobby of a government building where men in suits are walking, standing in groups talking to each other. Then at night, rockets exploding in the sky. Then armored vehicles moving through a gate into the city. Then clouds of smoke on another street and people running, chased by police. A flow of consecutive images. The sequence, obviously, has been assembled by a news editor, but most of the viewing audience isnt aware of that. Theyre watching the interconnected images and listening to a news anchor tell a story that colors (infects) every image. Viewers thus believe they know something. Television has imparted that sensation to them. Thats what news is all about: delivering a sensation of knowing to the audience. There is no convenient place where the ordinary viewing audience can stop the flow of images or the story being told. They are inside it. They dont have the leverage of a crystallized idea or the power of reasoning to get out. They are inside the story. Knowledge thus becomes story. The viewer is transfixed by the sensation that he is inside watching/experiencing story. This fixation produces a short circuit in his reasoning mind (if he has one). No time to stop, no time to think; just watch the flow. When you take this pattern out to a whole society, you are talking about a dominant method through which knowledge is gained. Did you see that fantastic video about the Iraq War? It showed that Saddam actually had bioweapons. Really? How did they show that? Well, I dont exactly remember. But watch it. Youll see. And thats another feature of the modern acquisition of knowledge: amnesia about details. The viewer cant recall key features of what he saw. Or if he can, he cant describe them, because he was in the flow. He was inside, busy building up his impression of knowing something. Narrative-visual-television story strips out and discards conceptual references. And lines of reasoning? To the extent they exist, theyre wrapped around and inside the image-flow and the narration. Ideas arent as interesting as images. Thats the premise. To grasp the diminishment of language, consider the current use of the word text. Suddenly its become a verb; it means a process of sending words. It also refers to paragraphs or pages of writing, as opposed to pictures. Text makes writing seem like nothing more than one functional (and machine-like) method of delivering information. And since bone-dry information (e.g., genetic sequences) these days is practically considered a synonym for life, when a writer infuses his words with passion, they automatically become a rant. Rant was formerly applied to describe what a person did when he was totally unhinged to the point of making no coherent sense. Image, not the word, is the now preferred means of acquiring what passes for knowledge. Retired propaganda master, Ellis Medavoy (pseudonym), once told me in an interview: If you wanted to try a real revolution, you would produce thousands of videos consisting of written words on screens, with someone speaking those words. You would try to reinstate language as a medium. Poetry, formal arguments and debates, great speeches, dramatic readings. You would go up against image and try to relegate it to its proper place In the American colonies of the 18th century, several hundred thousand copies of Tom Paines pamphlet, Common Sense, were distributed among a total population of only 2.5 million people, and the earth shook. When a technology (television) turns into a method of perception, reality is turned inside out. People watch TV through TV eyes. Mind control is no longer something merely imposed from the outside. It is a matrix of a self-feeding, self-demanding loop. Willing devotees of the image want images, food stamps of the programmed society. But now, something is happening. Something different. It is to be fervently wished that the revolution against major media will also result in a revolution against knowledge as nothing more than image.

Image Credit Media is morphing from being controlled by a small elite to decentralized independent researchers and reporters. This is happening because the major MSM corporate lobbyists coerced Congress into removing such things as the Fairness Doctrine. Subsequent to that ideological windfall, all restrictions on truth-telling where abolished. This allowed MSM to dig whatever deep holes they wanted to without liability and now theyre falling on their swords, right into the graves they dug for themselves. Slay the beast support decentralized independent media in whatever ways you can. I wish I could share your optimism, but Im afraid corporate propaganda will continue to dominate. There are a few independent voices on the fringes, but the vast majority of the news on the web is controlled opposition. Ed Snowden, the Intercept, and that old fraud Chomsky provide the thrilling alternative while Colbert and Maher serve the naughty. All of them fall right in line when it matters, so we will never see a realistic presentation of the events of 911, Obamas forged birth certificate will soon be forgotten and there will be American footprints on the moon for generations to come. The Denver Post is a typical libtard paper being pushed out with, oh so subtle, yet articles that deflect independence and push the hive mentality.Left good right bad. I refuse to indulge in that paradigm. BTW: Jon Rappoport you are da man. Are we allowed to post links to videos here or not? Im going to stop coming here because you mislead the commenter into believing their post, with linked videos, is waiting to be approved and then you remove the comment. There was nothing wrong with the video I posted, it was information sharing in which this site is apparently opposed to. Later days information suppressors! That is one of the best articles on the mainstream media I have read in a long time. thank you for this. keep up the good fight The LSM Presstitutes can continue to wear their purple revolution uniforms and spew their talking points propaganda all they want. They have made themselves irrelevant. The oligarch-owners have already invested in their replacements by buying AI computers to write their fictional stories of the future. The Fifth Column will be lined up at the unemployment office. After all the campaign to label alternative sites as fake news, it has fallen back on the doorstep of the mainstream media. The lies go on but are people as drawn in by it? I love Rappoports writing. It flows so smoothly from one idea or point made to the next that one is hardly aware of the ground laid out by Rappoport that they are covering. Brilliant writer that we are so fortunate that he had the moral fiber to make the right decision he writes of here so many years ago. Can you imagine if he was writing for those opposing the Resustance? I havent had the stomach to watch television news for about five years and it was waning long before that. I give full credit to those that do and then report back on the misdirection or out right lies being told through that medium. Ive had mistrust of the printed media for far longer as I used to but I.F. Stones weekly when in high school, if I could scrap together the bus fare and purchase price to retrieve it from a downtown socialist used book store in the seedy section of the city. Another great article among many written by J.R.. Major Media outlets have been doing the same thing for many years. i remember in the 1980s the major networks reported on the epidemic of random freeway shootings around LA. i was stationed in in Alexandria, VA at the time. There were 5 times as many shootings around the Beltway (I-495) during the same period in the Spring that year. The major networks never mentioned it. Today, it is the same. If a story does not fit their agenda, it is not reported. For instance, after the election, CNN did not mention the members off the MLK family who met with and all praised Donald Trump. Media outlets do claim they have already covered stories. What passes for coverage these days is akin to a report on the Titanic that says People left Europe and people arrived in New York. And now for our next story. . Jon, I have tons of respect for you and all your knowledge. But there are a few aspects you are not taking into consideration here. Trump has a personal engagement in the vaccine lies b/c obviously something is wrong with his 11 yr old son, judging from the boys body movements during the inauguration. A parents power can move the mountains! 1. Never underestimate a parent. 2. Never underestimate Trump. 3. Look at all the things we thought impossible, yet they happened: We live in an unpredictable world! I would not be surprised if Trump, once all his appointed ppl get approved and are in place, he declares Martial Law, rounds up the criminal vaccine and chemical industry/Monsanto etc and puts them in prison or FEMA camps and takes down all the worthless 3 letter gov agencies. You dont think this could happen? I think anything can happen! I was born and raised in the former East Europe. My relatives lost all their businesses when the country was taken over by communists and all private property nationalized overnight. There was a satire theater in Prague and I remember one funny sketch where a factory owner talks to Death which is predicting that the rich guy will be robbed of his business. The man says no, no, you are wrong, a thief can steal my wallet but how could anyone carry away my factory building? The Death laughs. Well said, Jon. 
2	95 Year Old WWII Vet Destroys Obama In Amazing F**k You Letter, And Its Going Viral Every year, we have fewer and fewer Veterans of WWII for us to honor as they share their remarkable stories of courage with us. Most of them are in their 90s, and the majority of them are conservatives who understand that when you start stripping people of their rights and individual liberties, things can get ugly fast. Sadly, under President Barack Obama, the VA has become so incompetent and corrupt that our countrys veterans are literally dying while waiting to see a doctor. Now, a letter from Harold Estes, a veteran who died at the age of 97, enlisted in 1934 and served 23 years has gone viral. In his letter, written from a rest home in Hawaii, Estes gives Obama a piece of his mind. Here are some key excerpts from the letter, which speak for themselves: Dear President Obama, One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man. I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish. I cant figure out what country you are the president of You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like: Were no longer a Christian nation, America is arrogant and (Your wife even announced to the world, America is mean-spirited. Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.) After 9/11 you said, America hasnt lived up to her ideals. Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War? I hope you didnt mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII. Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man: Shape up and start acting like an American. If you dont, Ill do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue. You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but youre the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if youre not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy youre thinking of. Youre not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. Thats not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now. Sincerely; Harold B. Estes 
3	Heres Why Fake News Sites Are DangerousBy Jon Rappoport Exposing elites who run the world? Exposing pedophile networks? Documenting the lies and fabrications of major media? Laying bare the manipulations of Globalists? Revealing the crimes of both major political parties in America? Uncovering the spread of pharmaceutical devastation? Tracking the ruthless ops of major corporations? Yes, many so-called fake news sites do all this and much morebut something else is also going on. Many of these sites were launched and are spearheaded by ONE man or woman. No person outside the mainstream is supposed to be so emboldened by his/her own point of view and passion. All points of view belong to a group. Were not supposed to believe these fake news INDIVIDUALS created their news operations on their own. Were not supposed to believe each individual had a vision of what the news is supposed to be and followed that vision forward with great energy. An individual works for what he believes is true? He keeps his own counsel? He forges ahead, despite all opposition? He may even, when all is said and done, make a profit from his own labors? Were supposed to oppose these evils, and by the grace of governments and their shadow operators, we will emerge from the darkness and find our salvation in a New Order of things. ***And neverif you happen to disagree with what some independent news site is sayingNEVER entertain the idea of starting YOUR OWN news operation and building it from the ground up to reflect YOUR OWN vision. NEVER. That is individual power, which is the horrible fate that would await you. DOING IT ON YOUR OWN? Avoid it like the plague. Havent you studied your history? This country was originally built on chipping away at peoples individual creations and tearing them down. Right? How else could America have succeeded? It is only by taking away independence in all its forms that we could have arrived at the cusp of this grand triumph now: One Collectivist World. If we give all our attention to the six corporations that own big media and deliver their news to us, we will arrive. Hail, Caesar! Your followers salute you! Let the bands play. March to the tune. No individual ever built anything, no individual can build anything, no individual ever will build anything. Search for the media-teat of the State. Find it. And drink from it. Ah. How rejuvenating. In summary, independent news-site creators are fakes because theyre real. Outside the mainstream, on their own, they launched and expanded their operations. Being real outside the mainstream is fake, because the powers-that-be do not support that model. Are we clear? I hope so. You can be fake within the approved model: thats real. But if youre real outside the approved model: thats fake. Got it? Dont you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? 1984, George Orwell. Did Orwell even think to obtain permission from the New York Times before writing that statement? (To read about Jons mega-collection, Exit From The Matrix, click here.)

3	Johnson Johnson Could Pay $109 Million After Cases of Childrens Skin DeathHeather Callaghan More than 5 years after the suit was filed, jurors in Plymouth, Mass. agreed that $50 million dollars should be awarded to Samantha and over $12 million to her parents after finding health and beauty giant Johnson Johnson liable for physically devastating damages suffered from a little-known severe reaction to Childrens Motrin. If the trial judge goes for it, Johnson Johnson would pay $109 million if interest is considered. However, an award that big for an individual case is very rare so it could be thrown out. Samantha was 7 when she was given Childrens Motrin (ibuprofen) and suffered an allergic reaction that developed into toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), a condition in which the blood vessels in the skin are damaged to the point where the skin becomes necrotic and infection can set in.Samanthas condition was described like having your skin burned off and in truth, that is what happened. At one point she required emergency surgery requiring a drill to relieve pressure on her brain, caused by a buildup of fluids. Although TEN has an extremely high mortality rate, Samantha survived , but still has an 80% loss of lung function and permanent partial blindness in both eyes as a teenager. Throughout the suit, Johnson Johnson maintained that their product was labeled appropriately, stating: The Reckis family has suffered a tragedy, and we sympathize deeply with them A number of medicines, including ibuprofen, have been associated with allergic reactions and as noted on the label, consumers should stop using medications and immediately contact a healthcare professional if they have an allergic reaction. (Source) But most parents dont associate an allergic reaction with skin burns and skin death, or permanent blindness. Also, this condition is called TEN and can be caused by multiple factors and only rarely from an allergic reaction. Along with their heartfelt concern, Johnson Johnson also stated that they are still exploring other legal options. Maybe instead, Johnson Johnson (the family company) should assess a cause; they have been ushered into court at least four times for similar cases involving Childrens Motrin, costing them nearly $70 million compensation to young victims. JJ got away with paying nothing in another case where an 11 year old was left completely blind. A similar case went in favor of a Pennsylvania girl who lost 84% of her skin and suffered blindness and brain damage after a reaction to Childrens Motrin. Lastly, natural pain relievers cannot be patented! Sources: linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	An Indisputable Database for Chemtrail DeniersCatherine J. Frompovich Over the years, The Washington Post acquired numerous awards for excellent investigative journalism, etc., including the prestigious Pulitzer Prize several times, the last being in 2014. One would imagineat least this writers journalistic opinionthat extensive and accurate research would be the ground floor for factual, open-source, non-pejorative, non-ad hominem reporting and journalism. When journalist Puneet Kollipara postulates, Meet the chemtrails crowd, who posit that governments, scientists and other institutions are using airplanes chemtrails basically contrails that are allegedly laced with chemicals to alter the climate, create extreme weather, poison people, or even control our minds, and In short, chemtrails itself is a conspiracy theory, someone needs to point out that The Washington Post team should have done their homework more diligently, as there are hundreds of federal government agency reports and, in particular, U.S. Patents of record, for managing weather systems. Many are listed below in the Weather Geoengineering / Chemtrail Database generated by this writer. However, I think maybe I may be inclined to agree with Kollipara that chemtrails just may be a conspiracya real true conspiracy to keep whats going on day and night and which darkens our skies (less sunlight hits earth now), plus precipitates all kinds of toxic crap falling onto earthto keep the public from knowing whats actually going on above our heads. For decades weather control, AKA weather geoengineering, has been going onits a given that patents verify. However, a complacent media, press, TV, probably some politicos from previous administrations, select bureaucrats in government, government agencies per se, namely: US Air Force and Navy, researchers, and specialty contractors who build and carry out systems to fulfill the agendaALL have kept silent and definitely either apparently conspired or colluded to agree to keep silentor else. Where are the whistleblowers? Could some wannabe whistleblowers be dead? Why hasnt any media outlet, investigative journalist or newspaper, the U.S. Congress or some foreign investigator/researcher questioned the sky trails during the last couple decades? Furthermore, whywhenever something crops up about chemtrailsis it immediately scandalized as conspiracy, rather than addressed with scientific facts and reported as news? Below is a database of legal documentation (U.S. Patents) that evidences weather geoengineering is real. Furthermore, many patents cannot be employed or used unless there is aerial spraying. First, we need to study two weather maps, which apparently show that there really is a split weather pattern in the continental USA. For any that are wondering how 2015 is shaping up for the Eastern US, the same scenario we saw in 2014 is being engineered all over again. The West fries with temperatures 20 degrees or more above normal with almost no rain as the Eastern US gets the toxic engineered cool-downs, per Dane Wigington at GeoEngeeniringWatch.org, Jan. 24, 2015 The above global-climate-temperature map readily illustrates how the eastern parts of the USA and the North American continent apparently have become targeted areas for cold/rain/ice/snow weather geoengineering. Moreover, it supports the first map and the divide seen between the hot/dry west and the cold/wet east. That weather system probably can be accomplished only with aerial spraying of aerosolized chemicals and toxic elements, since natural weather patterns apparently dont have split personalities. Documents from government and other mainstream resources, plus the investigative alternate press, confirm chemtrail activity, which really is weather geoengineering. Please see the database below. For anyone doubting the existence of the phenomenon called chemtrails, please take the time to read through this extensive list of patents from the U.S. Patent and Trade Mark Office on equipment and processes used in aerosol spraying programs commonly referred to as chemtrails but scientifically called weather geoengineering. United States Patent and Trademark Office 1338343 April 27, 1920 Process And Apparatus For The Production of Intense Artificial Clouds, Fogs, or Mists An Extensive List of Patents on weather modification 1920 to Oct 5 2012 The most questionable of any technologies probably involved in weather geoengineering, which is couched as military assets, is whats known as HAARP. It has/had two components: 1) the Tesla Weapon Platform SBX-1 sea-based, and 2) the land-base in SW Alaska, which supposedly closed in May 2013. However, theres some talk that the land-based HAARP may have been replaced with satellite technology, so thats why the Alaska HAARP campus (photo below) was closed. Can anyone verify that theres a purported satellite replacement for the Gakona, Alaska, site? Here is a YouTube with an independent narrative that parses satellite images of Hurricane Sandy Oct. 26, 2012 wherein whats described as HAARP frequencies, aka infrasonic undulations, show up to steer the storm Sandy.

Will weather geoengineering fall into that category and be considered An act of God? Is that why they deny chemtrail existence or weather geoengineering, and grossly claim it the work of conspiracy theorists?

Applause. My stepdaughter (god bless her sheepleness) might (if I can get her to even watch this, her denial is so strong) even come to believe. Hope so. thanks for this. Very good article Catherine and I commend you on the facts and research provided within but unfortunately we have basically four types of people involved in the observations and understanding of this activity. 1) Those directly involved who will deny, deny, deny, until their feet are held right to the fire and burn off, then they go to lie and distract, and after that fails ( if investigation is diligent enough ), they go to blame. 2) Those who are so lost they fight to protect the very lies told to them by the so called perceived authority and MSM. These people have their minds already made up so all of the facts in the world wouldnt make a bit of difference. They are willingly blind and will believe any ridiculous story given to them by their surrogate parents, such as , magic bullets that change course in mid air, WMD in Iraq, the pentagon lost 2.2 trillion dollars, bldg 7 was brought down in free-fall fashion by furniture fires. If given time and space here I could write an essay on this topic,( which is really the most disturbing because this is more revealing of our insane obedience and gullibility than anything else. ) 3) The multitudes in the middle who go along with whoever seems to be in power. You know the wishy washy millions who are too afraid to think for themselves or take a stand for the right reasons. They will knowingly go along with evil because they feel threatened. They wouldnt lift a finger to help their neighbor even if they saw masked men were going door to door killing them. If you think that scenario is not possible it happened just like that in Germany and we are on the same road. 4) The very few who see the truth of our decline due to greed and corruption, have the intelligence to connect the dots no matter what stupid lies they are told or how much they are threatened, and have the courage to act on it. Obedience is doing what your told regardless if you know its the right thing Trying to fight corruption after allowing it to grow unchecked all around you is a form of escapism. By denying what is happening so you can feel better is just a sign of cowardice and insanity because the evil you turn a blind eye to today will come after you tomorrow. You think youre safe by hiding? We have allowed ourselves to become wrapped up in our own TINY little bubble worlds not caring for anyone else but ourselves and that encouragement by the narcissism through social media and selfies is no accident. Those devices you are addicted to are planned and are being used to control you. Weve become so weak minded that being liked on facebook is more important than our own families. There is only one choice. Get out of La La land and start acting like a healthy and intelligent society or be conquered. Given the ridiculousness of TV how can people not see how fake and phony we have become The shows and commercials are so over the top stupid or deceitful it isnt even funny anymore. To me it is so annoying I have to turn it off. It seems the more stupid the more we like it. If people werent so obsessed with iphones and gadgets that have them constantly looking DOWN, they might notice that something is wrong with the skies. When something like this can be done right over our heads, that should be a SERIOUS wake up call.! Heres a map Climate Changed that readers may be interested in because it shows some interesting weather patterns. Note where its hotter than it normally should be. Plus this information. Have you heard about extreme weather elsewhere in the world? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5wPd-H-hpIfeature=player_detailpage#t=68 Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Also, great documentary to awaken friends and family is Look Up. George has spent several hundred thousand dollars of his own money to make this excellent film so the masses can awaken, rise up to ACT, and halt the madness. Please support him by your purchase. The same percentage of americans that believe in chemtrails also believe a secret government made of reptiles control the world, so congrats youre in good company Hey moron, read the comment from Truth Speaks and tell us which is your category. Are you a paid troll, or just one of the many clueless Americans who empower this fraud corruption? Why not actually look into the topic before you spout off. Theres a wealth of info on this and other controversial topics if one cares to look. Mr. Puneeet Kollipara is Wapos Wonky energy reporter attached to the Huston Chronicle.. guess we know who he represents. The batcholor degreed so-called expert interned at the American Chemical Society and Science News published by the Society for Science the Public. Science News most recent report purports Central American fires intensify U.S. tornadoes. The article states that smoke particles in the atmosphere further enhanced conditions already favorable for intense tornado formation. No mention of geoengineered particles that are already causing enhanced conditions for HAARP activated tornadoes.. Based on the US history of guided tornadoes South America must be burning down.. Thanks very much, gozounlimited, for the lowdown on Puneet Kollipara. Its greatly appreciated. Fantastic article Catherine! Here are some quotes that if you inserted them in the timeline would help everyone understand the academic, corporate, military take over of the weather as a profitable weapon to control humanity under the guise of a manufactured gore bull warming/climate change scam. The need for enemies seems to be a common historical factor Bring the divided nation together to face an outside enemy, either a real one or else one invented for the purpose In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill The real enemy, then, is humanity itself. The First Global Revolution (1991) published by the Club of Rome. Members of the Club of Rome include: Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, Bill Gates, George Soros, Bill Clinton, David Rockefeller, Ted Turner, Henry A. Kissinger and author of the Kyoto Protocols Maurice Strong. Others are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves. So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations. Its real, and thats the reason why we have to intensify our efforts. William Cohen, former U.S. Secretary of Defense, April 1997. Technology of weather modification could be employed to produce prolonged periods of drought or storm. Zbigniew Brzezinski, Between Two Ages (1970). We have discovered that the military in the east and west has developed new technologies which could attack the planet and transform it into a weapon itself! This technological process is by no means controlled by the public. Moreover these technologies can be used everywhere on the planet as plasma weapons, weather wars and geo-engineering. Claudia von Werlhof, Professor of Political Sciences and Womens Studies at Innsbruck Austria. Now where there are the weather and earth shaking technologies, or some circles call these weather and electro-magnetic weapons, used insidiously unfortunately by our military, our intelligence apparatus, and perhaps our military contractors for purposes contrary to that to which our public servants take their someone else holding the bag in the event destruction A number of methods have been explored or proposed to modify the ionosphere, including injection of chemical vapors and heating or charging via electromagnetic radiation or particle beams It is important to note that many techniques to modify the upper atmosphere have been successfully demonstrated experimentally. Pg 29 1996 USAF report titled Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025. Weather-modification can be divided into two major categories: suppression and intensification of weather patterns. In extreme cases, it might involve the creation of completely new weather patterns, attenuation or control of severe storms, or even alteration of global climate on a far-reaching and/or long-lasting scale. The primary areas discussed include generation and dissipation of precipitation, clouds, and fog; modification of localized storm systems; and the use of the ionosphere and near space for space control and communications dominance. The weather-modification applications proposed in this report range from technically proven to potentially feasible. Pg 5 1996 USAF report titled Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025. Hope this helped. AP57, nwosurvivalguide. Thank YOU so very much, AP57, for those illuminating quotes, which have greatly enhanced the article. I appreciate your sharing. Heres an interview with Prof. Peter Dale Scott of Berkeley Univ. of California, author of the book The American Deep State Secret Government CIA FEMA the Doomsday Network. This video https://www.youtube.com/watch?x-yt-cl=84924572v=OK-lf-G2cSYx-yt-ts=1422411861feature=player_detailpage#t=8 You cant be a chemtrail denier, as chemtrails do not exist. But Dennis Kucinich did use the word chemtrails in the Space Preservation Act of 2001 in which he tried to ban chemtrails and other space-based weapons. He wrote the bill, also called H.R. 2977, while he was the head of the U.S. Arms Oversight Committee. The bill calls for a ban on space-based weapons and a ban on the types of operations that were seeing happen now. In section 7 of the bill, chemtrails is considered an exotic weapon. Source: http://www.chemtrails911.com/intro_to_chem.htm Space is the operative word. Aircraft do not fly in space so can not produce trails there. Poor analysis. Kucinichs bill was comprehensive, and included references to the prevention of arming both space and land based weapons. Nice try, but you missed the point on that one. That was in the draft it was removed when he realised it had been included by loony tuners. There are chemtards, and then there are sane people Excellent article! Thank YOU, Temperance, for sharing your personal experience with the unfortunate unfolding of the new agenda that includes the push toward transhumanism, genetic control, alteration of our natural world, and the use of nanotechnology. At least, you understand whats going ongood for youand congratulations on your integrity. Great comment and I totally agree ! Most decent people who work at these types of institutions either leave on their own or are forced out like you where. They only want mindless ,unthinking zombies working for them . Do you REALLY not realise that almost all these patents are for CLOUD You display the map that shows incontrovertible proof of global warming (along with localised cooling of the US due to the Jet Stream shifting, which is one of the predicted climate change effects) Huh?! Other predictions were more hurricanes, land being swallowed up from rising oceans and more end of the world scenarios. Military people have admitted that the HAARP facility in Alaska was used to experiment on the ionosphere. That work absolutely at least partly consists of being able to move the jet stream. Theres nothing normal about what the weather patterns are doingthey are being manipulated, and many of you cant deal with that being truth. Keep playing with your Lego bricks, staring at your smart phones, eating McDonalds, and drinking fluoridated water. Makes sense as to why many of you cant think far enough outside your little boxes to be able to comprehend anything as serious as these programs. Look at the geoengineering this way.those who are shills and those who wont believe what we know is real, seem to like being able to make geoengineering to be a high tech concept and impossible to implement. Spraying chemicals, metals, salts and other compounds known to affect moisture, heating of the air, etc. isnt rocket science. We have super computers that can calculate in one second more than all computers were ever able to calculate combined. We have the internet, which I know well, that is as complex as any system there is, and its a marvel that it works as well as it does. To simply spray chemicals into the atmosphere and then heat them with antennas isnt high techits rather low tech, dont you think? I mean, think about it.we have chemicals in cans that you can spray into your hair to make it stay in one place, or spray deodorants that keep your underarms dry, chemicals in cans that you spray to paint your car etc. How is spraying chemicals into the atmosphere and manipulating them in any way, shape or form something that is hard to comprehend as to its simplicity? Keep calling us conspiracy theorists.its making us be able to more sincerely laugh at how pathetic you must be to have to resort to name calling. Keep believing that Oswald killed Kennedy, that Sirhan Sirhan killed Bobby, that Sandy Hook happened, that Timothy McVeigh was the lone perpetrator of the Oklahoma City bombing and the rest, ad nauseum. You folks are easy to spot now a mile away. Let us do the thinking.you obviously cant do any. Were conspiracy theorists? Youre brain dead. chemtards are delusional You can find patents for time machines at the US patent office. Doesnt mean they exist. I love that bloggers dont know the difference between evidence and proof. Or the meaning of the word indisputable. What do you think of this, then. Truth may even be stranger than fiction! Andrew D. Basiago, 50, a lawyer in Washington State who served in DARPAs time travel program Project Pegasus in the 1970s, and fellow chrononaut William B. Stillings, 44, who was tapped by the Mars program for his technical genius, have publicly confirmed that Obama was enrolled in their Mars training class in 1980 and that each later encountered Obama during visits to rudimentary U.S. facilities on Mars that took place from 1981 to 1983. Their astonishing revelations provide a new dimension to the controversy surrounding President Obamas background and pose the possibility that it is an elaborate ruse to conceal Obamas participation as a young man in the U.S. secret space program. According to Mr. Basiago and Mr. Stillings, in Summer 1980 they attended a three-week factual seminar about Mars to prepare them for trips that were then later taken to Mars via teleportation. The course was taught by remote viewing pioneer Major Ed Dames, who was then serving as a scientific and technical intelligence officer for the U.S. Army. It was held at The College of the Siskiyous, a small college near Mt. Shasta in California. They state that ten teenagers were enrolled in the Mars training program. In addition to Basiago and Stillings, two of the eight other teenagers in Major Dames class that they can identify today were Barack Obama, who was then using the name Barry Soetoro, and Regina Dugan, who Mr. Obama appointed the 19th director and first female director of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in 2009. As many as seven parents of the ten students, all with ties to the CIA, audited the class. They included Raymond F. Basiago, an engineer for The Ralph M. Parsons Company who was the chief technical liaison between Parsons and the CIA on Tesla-based teleportation; Thomas Stillings, an operations analyst for the Lockheed Corporation who had served with the Office of Naval Intelligence; and Mr. Obamas mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, who carried out assignments for the CIA in Kenya and Indonesia. [.] On August 21, 2011, Mr. Basiago stated: Something highly significant has happened, and that is that two individuals from the same Mars training class in 1980 (Basiago and Stillings) have met and are comparing experiences and are able to corroborate not only that they were on the surface of Mars together but that before reaching Mars via jump room they were trained with a group of teenagers that included the current President of the United States (Obama) and director of DARPA (Dugan).

Note the black spray at night that crosses the full moon. http://vimeo.com/119066529 I am not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch of the imagination. I am a skeptic and work in a technology field. However, about a year ago I experienced something like the sound and vibrations in the video above. This will probably sound crazy, but here goes. It was the middle of the night. First of all, a dream woke me out of a sound sleep. But in my dream I was lying in bed while outside in the sky there was a deep, droning pulse and vibration. It reminded me of a giant MRI machine. It was accompanied by a bizarre sensation of the earth vibrating for miles and miles. In the dream I got out of bed and looked out the window. I saw a frozen wasteland. The field outside my house was covered in a thin layer of dark ice and the trees had died. I had a terrible feeling of doom. Now for the part that makes the whole thing very creepy. I woke up but the loud pulsing sound and vibration continued. I kept thinking it was like being inside a massive MRI. That was all I could find to describe it, although it did not do it justice. I felt the vibration through to my very bones. I had never heard anything like it and to this day have no idea what it was. Fully awake, I got out of bed and looked out the window. I could make out the yard and my driveway by the street light. The field was just dark. I saw nothing strange but the eerie sound and vibration continued fully through the time I spent looking out the window. I was very frightened. It seemed to encompass miles and miles. I remember thinking how terrible it was that we could be subjected to whatever technology this was, without being informed and without knowing the purpose of it. Very gradually the sound dissipated, traveling into the distance. I waited in bed listening as it droned far off and I could hear it in the distance for a long time. I had never heard of HAARP when this occurred. I found out about its existence the next day when I youtubed droning sounds in an attempt to find out what it might have been. I reviewed all sorts of military aircraft and drones but nothing was as huge or diffuse as this noise and vibration. While it was happening i also felt sad and nostalgic for the days when I was a kid and would listen to the snowplow go down our dirt road in the middle of the night. God knows what they are trying to do. 
2	They Got Married In 1940, 70 Years Later Their Dark Secret Is Revealed 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! 
3	New Wave of Mini Robots Has ArrivedNicholas West But, just as with drones, the next phase of miniaturized robot tech is offering some insane possibilities. The video below shows a new bot that Singularity Hub defined as freaky fast like the equivalent of a human running 120 mph. As Singularity Hub states: researchers from the University of Maryland and John Hopkins have constructed a miniature robot with independent drive motors propelling its four whegs, which are hybrid-wheel-legs that offer the best of both. The bot can travel up to 30 body lengths a second (2.2 m/s or around 5 MPH). As IEEE Spectrum points out, a human traveling the equivalent relative distance in the same time would be going approximately 120 MPH. As miniturization continues right down to the nano-scale, as well as bots and drones that mimic nature, it might become increasingly difficult to see what exactly is coming next.

1	PGA Tour veteran Brad Faxon suffered a near-total loss of composure Tuesday during the filming of SportsCenter's Budweiser Hot Seat segment when anchor Scott Van Pelt fired a flurry of questions at Faxon, the last of which dealt with whether Faxon believes his putting stroke will hold up during the 2006 U.S. Open. 'Why? Do you think something is wrong with my putting? Why shouldn't my stroke hold up? Have you been watching me? Why is it so dark in here?' Faxon said while biting his fingernails, sweating profusely, and looking around in an agitated fashion. 'I have rights, you know! I'm going to call my fucking attorney, and your ass is going to be fired! All of your asses!' When Van Pelt informed Faxon that he was 'now off the Budweiser Hot Seat,' a relieved Faxon thanked God and broke down in tears.

'He didn't say much, but I think we really connected,' said Osterberg, who later added that he always makes sure he has something by A Tribe Called Quest blaring when his usual pizza delivery guy comes. 'I just wanted him to feel comfortable. After all, I have a pretty nice place.' After leaving Osterberg's home, Delmar reportedly resumed listening to the audiobook of Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow on his repair truck's CD player in order to 'get that hillbilly shit out of [his] head.' 
3	Florida Senate Passes Anti-Drone Bill, 39-0selfnews Post SB92 would prohibit any law enforcement agency from using unmanned drones to gather evidence or other information without a warrant. A law enforcement agency may not use a drone to gather evidence or other information. The bill opens the door for any person whose privacy is violated by a drone to take civil action and would also make any evidence gathered in violation of the act inadmissible in court. The act makes its only exception allowing for the use of drones to counter a high risk of a terrorist attack by a specific individual or organization if the United States Secretary of Homeland Security determines that credible intelligence indicates that there is such a risk. The Freedom from Unwarranted Surveillance Act passed 39-0 with one Senator not voting. (See the roll callHERE) Sen. Joe Negron sponsored the bill. I believe it achieves a delicate balance between security and freedom, he said before the full Senate vote. SB92 sailed through five committee hearings with unanimous approval in each. I believe that privacy should be protected and I look forward to signing Sen. Negrons drone bill. This law will ensure that the rights of Florida families are protected from the unwarranted use of drones and other unmanned aircraft, Florida Governor Rick Scott said. HB 119 is sponsored by the House Judiciary Committee and Criminal Justice Subcommittee, along with Rep. Ritch Workman. The bill has passed unanimously through three committees to date and was added to the second reading calendar. Some activists have criticized the bill due to various exceptions allowing for limited drone use. While these exceptions do raise legitimate concerns, as things exist today, Floridians have no protections against drone. 1. The DHS can call on Florida to use drones for any non-emergency situation it wants. 2. The DHS can call on Florida to use drones for any emergency situation it wants. 3. Law enforcement in Florida can use drones in any situation they want. Passage of SB92/HB119 would eliminate number one and number three, so this bill ushers in a MASSIVE improvement over the status quo. As it is now, law enforcement agencies in Florida can use drones any time, anywhere with absolutely no parameters. If the Freedom from Unwarranted Surveillance Act becomes law, drone use will be extremely limited and circumscribed. I understand the concern some activists have expressed. I share those concerns. But the thought of passing nothing and ending up with absolutely no limits on drone use would concern me a lot more, Tenth Amendment Center national communications director Mike Maharrey said. Without any action by the Florida legislature, the only thing standing between Florida and a full-fledged drone surveillance state is a little funding. And thats coming down the pike. At this stage in the drone game, the feds are working hard behind the scenes to get states to operate the drones for them. In fact, the primary engine behind the expansion of drone surveillance being carried out by states and local communities is the Federal government itself. Department of Homeland Security issues large grants to local governments so that those agencies can purchase drones. Those grants, in and of themselves, are an unconstitutional expansion of power. The goal? Fund a network of drones around the country and put the operational burden on the states. Once the create a web over the whole country, DHS steps in with requests for information sharing, he said. Bills like these put a dent in this kind of long-term strategy. Without the states and local communities operating the drones today, its going to be nearly impossible for DHS plans to take off. In fact, this has been as much as confirmed by a drone industry lobbyist who testified in opposition to a similar bill in Washington State, saying that such restrictions would be extremely destructive to the drone market and industry. While the The Freedom from Unwarranted Surveillance Act might not be the perfect bill, it is a solid bill providing parameters for drone use. Pass the bill now and then move forward with further restrictions in the future once basic regulation is in place. A NO vote on SB92/HB119 is a vote in FAVOR of unlimited drone spying by everyone in Florida. ACTION ITEMS: 1. Contact your State Representative. Strongly, but respectfully, let him or her know that you want them to vote YES on HB119. Contact info here: 2. Contact House Speaker Will Weatherford and ask him to move quickly to schedule this bill to a full House vote. You can email him at Will.Weatherford@myfloridahouse.gov or tweet him at @willweatherford . 3. Encourage your local community to take action as well. Present the Privacy Protection Act to your city county, your town council, or your county commissioners. Various local governments around the country are already passing similar resolutions and ordinances. Local legislative action presents a great way to strengthen a statewide campaign against drone spying. Model legislation here: 4. Share this information widely. Please pass this along to your friends and family. Also share it with any and all grassroots groups youre in contact with around the state. Please encourage them to email this information to their members and supporters. Andrew Nappi is the State Coordinator for the Florida Tenth Amendment Center.

3	First Study on 4G/LTE Cell Phone Radiation Shows It Affects Brain ActivityNew peer-reviewed research finds that 30 minutes exposure to LTE [4G] cellphone radiation affects brain activity on both sides of the brain. The first study on the short-term effects of Long Term Evolution (LTE), the fourth generation cell phone technology, has been published online in the peer-reviewed journal, Clinical Neurophysiology. (1) In a controlled experiment, researchers exposed the right ear of 18 participants to LTE cellphone radiation for 30 minutes. The source of the radiation was 1 centimeter from the ear, and the absorbed amount of radiation in the brain was well within international (ICNIRP) cell phone legal limits. The researchers employed a double-blind, crossover, randomized and counter-balanced design to eliminate any possible study biases.The resting state brain activity of each participant was measured by magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at two times after exposure to LTE microwave radiation, and after a sham exposure. The results demonstrated that LTE exposure affected brain neural activity not only in the closer brain region but also in the remote region, including the left hemisphere of the brain. The study helps explain the underlying neural mechanism for the remote effects of microwave radiation in the brain. In 2011, Dr. Nora Volkow, Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, published a similar study in the Journal of the American Medical Association that received worldwide news coverage. Dr. Volkow reported that a 50 minute exposure to CDMA, a second generation cell phone technology, increased brain activity in the region of the brain closest to the cell phone. (2) Cell phone users, especially pregnant women and children, should limit their cell phone use. Moreover, cell phone users should not keep their phones near their head, breasts or reproductive organs when using the phone or whenever the phone is turned on unless it is in airplane mode.

The alteration of spontaneous low frequency oscillations caused by acute electromagnetic fields exposure. Clinical Neurophysiology. Published online 4 September 2013. Abstract Objective The motivation of this study is to evaluate the possible alteration of regional resting state brain activity induced by the acute radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure (30 min) of Long Term Evolution (LTE) signal. Methods We designed a controllable near-field LTE RF-EMF exposure environment. Eighteen subjects participated in a double-blind, crossover, randomized and counterbalanced experiment including two sessions (real and sham exposure). The radiation source was close to the right ear. Then the resting state fMRI signals of human brain were collected before and after the exposure in both sessions. We measured the amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (ALFF) and fractional ALFF (fALFF) to characterize the spontaneous brain activity. Results We found the decreased ALFF value around in left superior temporal gyrus, left middle temporal gyrus, right superior temporal gyrus, right medial frontal gyrus and right paracentral lobule after the real exposure. And the decreased fALFF value was also detected in right medial frontal gyrus and right paracentral lobule. Conclusions The study provided the evidences that 30 min LTE RF-EMF exposure modulated the spontaneous low frequency fluctuations in some brain regions. Significance With resting state fMRI, we found the alteration of spontaneous low frequency fluctuations induced by the acute LTE RF-EMF exposure. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24012322 (2) Volkow ND, Tomasi D, Wang GJ, Vaska P, Fowler JS, Telang F, Alexoff D, Logan J, Wong C. Effects of cell phone radiofrequency signal exposure on brain glucose metabolism. JAMA. 2011 Feb 23;305(8):808-13. doi: 10.1001/jama.2011.186. Abstract CONTEXT: The dramatic increase in use of cellular telephones has generated concern about possible negative effects of radiofrequency signals delivered to the brain. However, whether acute cell phone exposure affects the human brain is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate if acute cell phone exposure affects brain glucose metabolism, a marker of brain activity. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Randomized crossover study conducted between January 1 and December 31, 2009, at a single US laboratory among 47 healthy participants recruited from the community. Cell phones were placed on the left and right ears and positron emission tomography with ((18)F) fluorodeoxyglucose injection was used to measure brain glucose metabolism twice, once with the right cell phone activated (sound muted) for 50 minutes (on condition) and once with both cell phones deactivated (off condition). Statistical parametric mapping was used to compare metabolism between on and off conditions using paired t tests, and Pearson linear correlations were used to verify the association of metabolism and estimated amplitude of radiofrequency-modulated electromagnetic waves emitted by the cell phone. Clusters with at least 1000 voxels (volume 8 cm(3)) and P .05 (corrected for multiple comparisons) were considered significant. RESULTS: Whole-brain metabolism did not differ between on and off conditions. In contrast, metabolism in the region closest to the antenna (orbitofrontal cortex and temporal pole) was significantly higher for on than off conditions (35.7 vs 33.3 mol/100 g per minute; mean difference, 2.4 [95% confidence interval, 0.67-4.2]; P = .004). The increases were significantly correlated with the estimated electromagnetic field amplitudes both for absolute metabolism (R = 0.95, P .001) and normalized metabolism (R = 0.89; P .001). CONCLUSIONS: In healthy participants and compared with no exposure, 50-minute cell phone exposure was associated with increased brain glucose metabolism in the region closest to the antenna. This finding is of unknown clinical significance. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3184892/ PRLog (Press Release) Sep. 23, 2013 BERKELEY, Calif. Hat tip: Stop Smart Meters 
1	President Barack Obama's Inauguration Day addressa speech that many believed would jumpstart the healing process of an ailing nation, foster hope and goodwill across the world, and serve as the ultimate stamp on the Democrat's historic winwas ruined Tuesday by nearly two hours of nonstop jackhammering. Obama paid tribute to those brave Americans who paved the something for something something faith something history. According to D.C. officials, the jackhammering interrupted the landmark address on 30 separate occasions and came from the nearby U.S. Botanic Garden, where it was being used to break up pavement for a new Heroes of Horticulture exhibit. 'My fellow,' began Obama, who then stopped when he and the 2.5 million citizens present, some of whom had traveled thousands of miles to experience the once-in-a-lifetime event, were startled by loud, metal-on-concrete banging. 'My fell my fell my.' 'Is that a jackhammer?' Obama added. A crowd of millions gathered to partially hear the historic speech. Though Obama first acknowledged the incessant jackhammering with an impromptu joke, saying, 'Well, I know one guy who doesn't need a job,' the typically poised orator grew gradually more annoyed as it became clear that the shrill thumping was not going to stop. Obama appeared most frustrated about halfway through the address when reverberations from the pneumatic drill set off several dozen nearby car alarms, drowning out the new president's attempt to describe his vision for America's future in a changing world. 'If the person currently operating the jackhammer can hear me, please stop,' Obama said at approximately the eight-minute mark of his speech. 'Seriously, please. Stop it now.' The unremitting pounding caused the first African-American president to sigh or roll his eyes a combined 17 times, most notably during an apparently eloquent passage conveying his 'lifelong desire to [unify or commit] the United States to a [common goal, higher purpose, or challenge] by 2012.' During a particularly loud spell of thuds, Obama muttered, 'Oh, come on.' Footage of the event shows that when the president tried to explain how perseverence and pride could help rebuild a better society for all, he was interrupted not only by the jackhammer, but by several audience members who shouted, 'Speak up,' 'Louder,' and 'I can't hear you over all this jackhammering.' At one point during the address, Obama stopped talking entirely and walked off the stage for nearly five minutes. When he returned, he asked the restless crowd for calm and understanding. 'Okay, so, it looks like they're not going to stop jackhammering. We're just going to have to keep going, I guess,' Obama told the massive group, many of whom had already begun walking to their cars. 'I'll try to speed through it.' A transcript released by his campaign prior to the address revealed that Obama ultimately cut the speech short by six pages, omitting a section about the conflict in Afghanistan and a point-by-point explanation of his economic recovery plan. According to historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, one of the lasting images of the 2009 presidential inauguration will be Vice President Joe Biden, seated just 20 feet behind Obama, cupping his right ear in a desperate attempt to hear what the 44th president was saying. 'Inauguration addresses have always brought us inspirational and defining moments,' Goodwin said. 'FDR reminded Americans that all they had to fear was fear itself. John F. Kennedy encouraged citizens to ask what they could do for their country.' 'And now President Barack Obama offers his own stirring message,' Goodwin continued. ''Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang.'' Those in attendance agreed that it was nearly impossible to make out a single sentence of the historic address. 'I wanted to leave the speech with a feeling that this man was a beacon of hope, that he was going to lead us out of the doldrums and into a bold new beginning,' said Nathaniel Washburn, a 72-year-old African-American who brought his grandchildren to the inauguration. 'But I couldn't hear a goddamn thing.' 'I thought it was really, really cool,' said Washburn's 7-year-old grandson, Gregory. 'When I grow up, I want to be a jackhammer operator.' 
2	BREAKING: Duck Dynasty Likely To Be Taken Off Air After Phils Latest Rant In the last few years, Phil Robertson has become infamous for his fearlessness when it comes to speaking his opinionuncensored. Time and time again, Robertson has faced criticism from the liberal media, who have started to demand that his show be cancelled. Supporters of Robertson, however, argue that he is entitled to his own opinion. His most recent comments was that AIDS was a result of immoral conduct. His comments have offended the homosexual community, who feel that this is a direct attack on them. However, Robertson believes that two people should be married before they engage in a sexual relationship. According to Robertson, the Bible states that there is one man and one woman. Robertson believes that when a man and a woman who are clean and free of diseases get married and have sex, they wont have to worry. According to Robertson, AIDS is Gods way of giving a penalty to those who engage in intercourse outside of marriage. What do you think of Robertsons comments?

'I never knew Dad to write anything, but there's his full name, address, and telephone number right on the cover sheet,' said Norton, adding that the script had all the cast members taking a trip to Hawaii, a place his father has always wanted to visit. 'But why didn't he do the gag with Mr. Kotter telling his wife a joke about a distant uncle? That show was canceled before I was born, but even I know that.' According to Norton, he read 15 pages, then carefully placed the script back into the box and walked over to the attic window where he watched his father, dressed in cutoff jeans and a baseball cap, hedge the lawn for 20 minutes.

Given how many times in the past month Ive showed up to work on two hours of sleep and just stared at my computer in total silence, Id kind of expected someone to ask me if everythings all right at home or at least tell me I look tired lately, but so far I havent heard a thing, said Uhler, adding that he thought the frequency with which he places his face in his hands and mutters morosely to himself would have been a clear indication that he was completely unraveling and prompted somebody at some point to stop by his cubicle. I was sure when our HR manager asked me to speak with her last week it would be to discuss why I constantly look like Im on the verge of tears during meetings, but it turns out she just wanted to explain changes to our 401K plan. I feel like my entire life is collapsing and I can barely stay afloat, but every email I get from coworkers is just about jumping on a client call or finishing up my monthly reports. When reached for comment, Uhlers colleagues confirmed they had noticed his breakdown weeks ago but simply didnt give a shit.

3	Baby Taken Off Hospice After Being Given Cannabis Oil Now the Govt is Taking it Away From HerBy Matt Agorist Maddie is deaf and blind, and entirely dependent upon round-the-clock medical care. Prior to being placed in hospice care, Maddie developed life-threatening horrific seizures which sent her health into a downward spiral. For months, the family administered several prescriptions that were intended to help Maddie. However, none of them seemed to work and, in fact, had a negative impact on her health. After months of watching Maddies health deteriorate, doctors had no more options, and her parents were preparing to say goodbye. Maddie was going to spend her last days alive on life support in a hospital bed. But then something amazing happened.Meagan began researching the effects of cannabis on intractable, or untreatable epilepsy. She found one last hope: cannabis. Being in Washington state, where medical and recreational marijuana is legal, Meagan got authorization, and then a beautiful group of people began donating whole plant cannabis extract to their family. From the first dose, Meagan says, they immediately noticed a positive shift in her health. Maddies health improved exponentially, and within days she was off hospice, on palliative care, and working towards recovering from a rough year. Without cannabis, she would be a vegetable, or worse, dead, explained Meagan Tuesday, to the House Commerce and Gaming Committee. But all this hope would quickly be brought to an end thanks to a law that makes it illegal for growers to share cannabis with families like Meagan and Maddie who need this powerful medicine. But, Meagan,Brandon, and Maddie are fighters and Meagan has been pushing for legislative action, HB 2629, to reverse this ridiculous law. During the Committee hearing on Tuesday, Meagan took to the podium to deliver a moving speech. This Bill is needed, so families like ours, who are in a situation no one should be in, can legally accept donations of a very expensive medication. I want to read a quote that left me with a very heavy heart. This is the last harvest of cannatonic for the children. This grow is no longer legal, so I can no longer donate healing medicine, at no charge, to the parents of children, whom doctors have told to go to Hospice and die. I have never had a harvest for the children that made me sad beyond measure. It will be processed into oil in under five weeks and distributed in two. What will the medically abandoned children and their parents do then? If it werent for the generosity of the members of the cannabis community, we would not have been able to treat her. This Bill would allow me to be legallygiven life-sustaining medicine for my child. It would allow home growing of cannabis, which, in turn, could be processed and given to the patients that need it the most. I do not see anything wrong with sharing quality medicine. Being able to grow and share a plant seems reasonable. Please approve House Bill 2629, so me and my child are no longer criminals. Michael Scott is a close friend of the family, activist, and person responsible for putting together the moving video below. When speaking with the Free Thought Project, Scott said Its so very sad that these kind, loving folks are having to fight for the right to help their daughter and heal her. Weve watched as Maddie has begun to heal. The damages Maddie suffers from now are from the medications the doctors gave her! Maddie is going through withdraws its not right, not right at all. When the Free Thought Project reached out to Meagan for a statement, she replied with the following powerful words, The most important thing out of all of this that I want the legislators and really the government as whole, to realize is that this is more than just being allowed to share and grow cannabis. This is about the right to treat my daughter with a natural medicine. How can it be ok to want to over medicate our children? Why should a child who is on hospice suffering from a terminal disease, not be allowed to chose to use a healing plant that allows them to enjoy their final days? Cannabis allows my child to be herself. It allows her to enjoy the world while she is here. I cant say for certain that cannabis will treat her Zellweger Syndrome. I still wake up to the reality that my child has already exceeded her life expectancy and every day could be our last. But what I do know is that with whole plant extract oil she is comfortable, coherent, and able to enjoy the little things, like a walk outside or play time with her sister. The federal government needs to stop criminalizing innocent people for a plant. I am doing what any good parent would do and doing what is best for mychildsquality of life. On Tuesday, the House Committee hosted an open forum and are deciding whether or not this Bill will move forward. The family is asking that everyone contact the committee members and voice your support of this Bill. The e-mail addresses for all the representatives in the Commerce Gaming Committee are below: The time for action is now. The annual meeting of the American Epilepsy Society took place in early December, where the largest study presented there confirmed the astounding benefits of medical cannabis to treat seizures. Epilepsy affects one in 26 Americans during their lifetime, with one-third having a form of the condition that resists treatment or effective management, such as Maddies. The findings of this study add to the growing body of evidence that cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive extract of cannabis, can provide the best option for intractable epilepsy. Of 261 patients given CBD treatment, 45% experienced a significant reduction in seizure frequency, and 9% were seizure-free at 3 months. Some children continued to experience benefits after the trial ended, even one year after. In the subsequent periods, which are very encouraging, 9 percent of all patients and 13 percent of those with Dravet Syndrome epilepsy were seizure-free. Many have never been seizure-free before, said lead author Dr. Orrin Devinsky. The Free Thought Project has covered many stories of CBD providing miraculous benefits to children suffering from treatment-resistant epileptic seizures. With scientific evidence piling up, it is no longer deniable that cannabis provides a host of medical treatments. Even in spite of cannabis prohibition, politicians are starting to break the law to provide people with cannabis. Rep. Allen Peake, a Georgia lawmaker, admitted that he defies unjust cannabis prohibition by bringingmedical cannabis into Georgia from states where it is legal, such as Colorado. He recently delivered medical cannabis to a mother whose son suffers from seizures.

Cant this get a Go Fund Me? How much money is needed? I predict that within 10 years, especially if Trump makes it to POTUS (remember he was the only one to stand up and declare vaccines cause autism) , we will see a big collapse in Big Pharma and Big Insurance, as we move towards natural cures, like cannabis and other herbs, and frequencies.its coming, and Big Pharma is worried, people are getting the word now, chemo, radiation, adderall, and most all the other big sellers are being pushed to destroy health, not restore it.cant happen fast enough!! Sadly, I dont think Trump will be allowed to win the nomination. Big Pharma and Big Government are afraid of his agenda. I too had a night dream about Trump, on Dec 27th. He got gas for his car at the same gas station as I did. (End of dream.) I think he will win the GOP nomination. I am afraid Sanders will win the President race b/c too many ppl believe he can actually bring all the dreams he is talking about to fruition. Just like Obama did with the Change. Not. The elite banksters goals are One World Order and Depopulation and you are saving lives? Doc No, That appears to be correct, BUT more and more people are waking up to this IMO-This despicable situation exists directly because of the Rockefeller allopathic /symptomatic approach to pseudo medicine practices, for the sole enrichment of dank fetid ponerological corporations their satanic minions in the guise of indoctrinated white witch doctors as a medical mafiathis is an ODIOUS CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY of depraved indifference malice of forethought reckless endangerment outright demo/genocide by the 0.001% eddysach, You have a way with words. Sounds about right though and MORE MORE people are beginning to see through the scam. the ,ore folks push back the better. Folks should take their health into their own hands. The AMA is not, always, your buddy. Simpler and less expensive treatments that actually work are available to the research minded. BTW: Im hoping Trump becomes potus it would be interesting if he does go up aginst the big pharma. nope no vaccines for this mama her disease is genetic The most disturbing thing about this article is to think of the mindset that would deny this medicine to this small child. What is even MORE disturbing is that this twisted mind set runs the world! To these crazies denying this small child makes sense! It is logical. It is a good (?) thing to do. The facts on the ground begin with who notified anyone that this child was given whole leaf oil? Who talked about the miracle of cannabis? Folks you dont have to tell anyone what is working. The grower didnt have to tell anyone. Wake up people, keep quiet about natural cures that work let the natural websites do the talking. The legislators are ignorant otherwise cannabis in all its forms would not be interfered with by a group of people and phony health organizations that have questionable jurisdiction to tell you anything. A doctor reporting someone for a second opinion. Why do you blab about what you are going to do?Just nod your head and say, yes sir, certainly doctor, Ill do just what you say. Then when your away from the fool with the stethescope head for the border or go get your second opinion. Stop believing that these laws have any validity for a life and death situation they dont. Stop blabbing and do what in your heart you know is the very best you can do and dont use your tongue to give away your children. I mostly speak up because I was in the hospital, desperate for them to help my baby and the medical community was out of options. I found cannabis and healed my baby quietly. I posted in private groups about our success and when I had my first experience of a child with this disease dying because they couldnt access medicine I realized that it couldve been us. I AM NOT A CRIMINAL AND NEITHER IS MADDIE! Nothing will ever change if we dont stand up for what we believe in. Through out history we have seen how one person can make a difference. If maddies story changes one dirty politicians mind then we are one step closer to freedom from criminalization. It appears you did well. I just sent an email to all of them. Just the blatant facts that people must now BEG their governments to use their natural/God given RIGHTS to be able to do things such as defend themselves from violent criminals, be able to live in a home on a piece of land that would be considered off grid, or being able to use a plant that can grow wild in order to treat their own health issues, shows just a small sampling of how wickedly depraved vile the governments of the world have become. 
1	A tight-knit rural Midwestern farming community commemorated the demonization of homosexuality Sunday with its annual Gay Shame Parade, a three-decade-old tradition that has become a cornerstone of the town's cultural identity. The second-place float in this year's parade cruises down Grand Plains' picturesque Main Street. 'Every year, the whole town turns out to enjoy Nebraska's famous summer sunshine, sample foods, browse the craft bazaar, and shame homosexuals for their repulsive, decadent behavior,' said Frank Mitchell, mayor of Grand Plains, NE and parade marshal. 'This year was our biggest turnout yet. Everybody had so much fun ostracizing the gays.' The parade featured the usual assemblage of police cruisers, fire trucks, antique cars, and farm equipment, which local residents had draped in red-white-and-blue banners that read 'Burn in the Eternal Flames of Hell!' City Councilman Fred Brandeen, this year's 'Jesus,' entertained children by making mock finger-wagging gestures of admonishment and passing out buttons bearing the parade's traditional slogan: 'NO!' Members of the Grand Plains Area Wives Association followed behind with a 15-foot hand-sewn banner, cosponsored by Jerry's Auto Body, which read: 'GPAWA and Jerry's Cringe To Think What You're Putting Your Family Through.' Organized every year by the Grand Plains City Council and a coalition of area churches, the Gay Shame Parade has been an annual event here since 1977, the year that citizens first became aware of gay people's existence. 'To see a whole community rally together like this around a good causeit's really an inspiration,' said Ellen Lundblom, a mother of four enjoying the festivities with her youngest son, first-time reveler Timmy, 3. 'If I were a lesbian, this would have really made me feel awful about myself.' 'My favorite part was the balloons,' Timmy Lundblom said. 'They had all different colors of angry frowny-faces on them.' The event got off to a rousing start with the Grand Plains High School Cougars marching band playing such classics as 'The Star-Spangled Banner' and 'Onward, Christian Soldiers.' The mood grew palpably more sober during the middle portion of the procession, as members of the Grand Plains Baptist Church marched with folded arms in stony, judgmental silence and stared at the spectators lining the streets as if to ask, 'Are you gay?' The spirit of levity returned, however, toward the parade's finish, which featured balloon giveaways, a float contest, and an appearance by 6-year-olds Christopher Weiland and Courtney Wendt, who were crowned 'Junior Mister and Miss Heterosexual' on Saturday. The parade concluded with a group reading of Leviticus 20:13. After the last bit of confetti fell, spectators praised the parade's highlights, including a float, presented by local Little League team the Tigers that depicts a mother, sitting alone with her head down on a kitchen table, crying. The first-place ribbon went to 'Sodom and Gomorrah,' a miniature version of the two Biblical cities engulfed in flames. The float's designer, McPhee's Department Store window dresser Bruce Carlson, was not able to accept his prize, however, as he was away visiting an aunt in Lawrence, KS for the weekend. Despite the pageantry, parade organizers stressed that the event has a serious message. 'Everyone loves a parade,' PTA chairwoman Agatha Buell said. 'But it's about a lot more than the clowns, the decorations, and those Shriner fellows in their tiny cars. It's about making folks feel sickened by the deviant homosexual lifestyle, like God wants us to.' Spectators couldn't help but be delighted by the parade's surprise finale, when, after dutifully leading the marching band for the entire mile-long parade route, local music teacher Colin Atherton was marched past the county line and told never, ever to return. 
3	What Do We Tell Our Children?Dave Hodges I grew up loving the ideals of our country, the freedom and the opportunity. As a result, I have lived a good and prosperous life. I give thanks to my parents and to God everyday for my good fortune. However, I have learned that I was not fully prepared to be a parent because I do not know how to teach my 12-year-old son to live in the New World Order. The America we knew is dead and gone and is running solely on momentum. Are any of you asking the same question that I am about to? How do we tell our pre-teen and teenage children that they live under a hopelessly corrupt government and they are making plans to fully enslave all of us under REX 84, FEMA Camps, NDAA, etc? Do we teach our children to never criticize the government because free speech has been criminalized as an act of terrorism? How do we provide hope to our children that if they work hard and go to college, hey will have a good life? And even if our kids graduate from college, most wont find jobs when they get out of school and even if they do find work in their field, they will be debt slaves because of the cost of higher education. How do we encourage our children to learn the lessons of civics when we fully know that our vote, on a national level, does not make a darn bit of difference, and that the Pelosis, Reids, Bushes and Obamas are bought and paid for? How do we teach our children that our brave men and women who serve in the military have been turned into pawns of corporate greed and subsequent imperialism? How do we prepare to raise our children in a decadent society which dishonors the Christian principles that our country was founded upon? Although I constantly say that I am fighting for our childrens future, I have kept my son as separate as I can from my work in the alternative media. It is not something that I have tried to share with him because I do not want him to become cynical. Yet I know that there comes the day when all parents realize that we have to tell our children that there is no Santa Claus. I grew up in an America which was a republic interspersed with some corruption. Todays America is a corporate criminal enterprise where there are no rules for the elite and the republic concepts underlying our laws are on life support. Subsequently, my son is growing up in a far different America than I did; and to hear him talk about his future hopes and fears reflects these fundamental changes that we have experienced as a country. Today, I was telling my son about how his late grandfather joined the Navy at a very young age and made a successful career out of it. He stopped me and asked if I would be upset if he did not want to join the military. At that moment, I realized that I had an important decision to make as a parent. Do I tell my son the truth about the facts related to his question, or do I take the approach we often do with our kids and gloss over the truth? In my boldest statement, that some will judge to be reckless, I told my pre-teen that some of our troops are being forced to train for controlling the citizens of our country rather than preparing to fight our enemies. Hes not ready for the DHS/REX 84/ Northcom lecture, but the underlying principles were communicated. It was crystal clear that he understood that I did not want him to be in the military. As they say, out of the mouth of babes my son subsequently asked me what if they bring back the draft? Under EO 13603, the government can split up families. There are no age restrictions on the civilian labor draft and you can be sent to perform the governments work. A husband can be assigned to work in one location and the wife in another. This would represent the ultimate Agenda 21 driven breakup of the family. And, of course, our boys can still be marched off to war to kill and be killed by young men that they have nothing against us, with all of this being done in the name of corporate profits. I told my son that I would not let him be drafted and that we would leave the country if we had to. This was an epiphany for me. I realized at that moment that I need to seriously consider leaving this country and relocating to a country where the local military and their civilian forces are not likely to be used as a global police force.

3	Houthi Forces In Yemen Capture Territory in Asir, Saudi Arabia, Close In On Najran Provincial CapitalBy Brandon Turbeville In addition to the capture of these provinces, the Houthis have managed to capture with them a large cache of American and Canadian weapons that belonged to the Saudi military. Not only that, but Houthi forces continue to march forward in the Najran valley, moving close toward the provincial capital. In a story that went virtually unreported in the West, the Houthis managed to wrest control of three Saudi military bases in Saudi Arabias Jizan province, located near the Saudi-Yemen border in January of this year. The bases Jabal al-Doud, al-Aril, and Madba were all seized by Houthi forces and fighters with allied Popular Committees. The Houthi forces along with Yemeni soldiers also launched retaliatory shelling strikes inside Saudi Arabias al-Makhrouq military base in the southern Najran region. Houthis and allied Yemeni fighters have long been inflicting heavy damage upon Saudi and Saudi-led coalition troops and vehicles deployed on the ground inside Yemen as well as occasionally downing coalition jets. The fighters have also managed to damage Saudi ships located off the coast. In July, 2016, Houthi forces launched ballistic missiles into Saudi Arabia. According to reports coming from Al-Masdar, Houthis launched a Tochka ballistic missile toward the Ahad al-Masarihah Military camp, resulting in a heavy death toll of Saudi soldiers as well the destruction of several armored vehicles. Reports coming from various sources that the Houthis penetrated around 10 kms into Saudi Arabia in August. Video footage then surfaced showing a battle between Houthi forces and Saudi Arabias tanks. In addition, it was announced in early August that a coalition that will function as a political council is in the works between the Houthis and fighters loyal to former President Saleh, a move that flies in the face of the GCC resolutions regarding the governing structure of Yemen. Throughout the entire affair, Houthi forces have revealed the Saudis as nothing more than a military paper tiger incapable of actually defeating a rebel force in a neighboring country. However, after this string of victories and the fact that Houthi and Houthi-allied forces have actually managed to successfully invade Saudi territory, KSAs weakness appears to be even greater than what many informed observers may have suspected.

1	Sources confirmed Wednesday that local high school sophomore Jeffrey Levine, 16, is oblivious to the fact that he is currently engaged in an intense and continuous no-holds-barred competition with classmate Eric Nelson, the son of his parents friends. Unbeknownst to Levine, he has reportedly been embroiled in the cutthroat rivalry since 2005, when his parents met Nelsons parents at a PTA meeting, and the two families became friendly. According to sources, the relentless struggle has grown slowly over the years, gradually encompassing all areas of the unwitting Levines lifehis school work, his extra-curricular activities, and even his social life. My parents just had dinner with Erics parents the other day and seemed to have a pretty good time, said Levine, utterly unaware that his parents spent the entire meal rigorously gauging every one of the 16-year-old Nelsons accomplishments from the past year against those of their own son. When they got home they talked a lot about Eric. Apparently hes been doing well in school lately. Dad says hes a good soccer player, too, Levine added. Despite noticing that his parents mention Erics name around the house a lot, Levine is said to have never once realized that virtually every single thing he does is immediately measured against what Nelson has done. Nor has Levine recognized how even the way he looks and dresses is ruthlessly comparedby his own mother and fatherto the way Nelson looks and dresses. Reports also indicate Levine doesnt realize he is, at press time, badly losing the game of brutal one-upmanship he has no idea hes playing. I think my parents want Eric and I to start hanging out, because when Eric joined the debate team, they sort of talked me into joining too, said Levine, who remains totally ignorant of his parents merciless comparison of the two teens debate performances and their respective number of trophiesa scrutiny matched only by their critiques of the boys standardized-test scores and girlfriends. Mom even seemed a little disappointed when I quit, as if she were worried Eric and I wouldnt stay friends anymore. Anyway, I think Im better off working on the newspaper instead, added Levine, an activity his parents are completely unable to form an opinion on because Nelson doesnt participate in it. Levine is expected to remain unknowingly locked in the intense matchup with Nelson through the remainder of high school, with the contest likely decided by a ruthless judgment of their college acceptances. Experts agree, however, that the rivalry is likely to continue long after, with Levines career, house, wife, and children all entering the fray without him ever knowing it. Despite Levines obliviousness, Eric Nelson told reporters he is entirely aware of the competition between the two and enjoys the fact that he is winning big-time. 
3	Los Angeles Adult Protective Services Refuses to Accept Reports of Conservator AbuseJanet Phelan But not, apparently, if the abusing party is a conservator. During a call to APS last Thursday, a complaint was made that a local conservator was neglecting and medically abusing one of her wards in Pomona, California. The worker refused to accept the complaint, stating that APS does not take complaints of conservator abuse. The call was then transferred to the supervisor, Alejandro, who stated that the Welfare and Institutions Code blocks Adult Protective Services from following up on complaints of conservator abuse. Alejandro was unable to provide the relevant WIC and promised to call back after researching it. He did not. But both Alejandro and his social worker spoke in error. A call to the Administrative Office of Los Angeles County Adult Protective Service today confirmed that there are no legal guidelines that would inhibit APS from taking and investigating a complaint of this nature. So why are the workers declining to take these calls? Calls to Administration got some action, but not very many answers. A call center manager named Solomon assured me he would have someone take my complaint and offered to transfer me back to the Call Center. I told him I would call over myself, to see what sort of response another social worker provided. In Redlands, a homeless man named Charlie Castle had been grabbed off the street by the mental health court officers and placed under a mental health conservatorship. Private Conservator Melodie Scott petitioned to take over as conservator and was so appointed. She then put the individual into a long-term nursing home, which does not provide mental health treatment, and proceeded to ignore him. The conservatorship appears to have been conceived in a grave conflict of interest. The attorney Ryan Sheehan representing the conservatee is, in fact, Melodie Scotts lawyer. Castle has now been locked up for a year. Apparently, Scott has a personal interest in Charles Castle. Castle recalls that, a couple of months before he was grabbed, Scott approached him on the street. She asked him if he would like her to take care of him. No, maam, he replied emphatically. I had been contacted by a friend of Charlie Castle, who believed that the conservatorship had become abusive and that the conservator was neglecting Castle. The friend, a local schoolteacher, provided a picture of Charlie as someone who was intelligent, friendly and docile and, while somewhat eccentric, was able to manage his own affairs. Other members of the community, including Ken Stein, a director at the local YMCA and Pastor Craig at the Blessing Center, repeated the same perceptions of Charlie Castle. Charlie loves his freedom, said Stein. He marches to a different drummer and to lock him up would be a death sentence. According to the San Bernardino Court public records, Castle has never been charged with a crime. According to all contacts, he does not pose a danger to himself or others. All the way up the bureaucratic food chain, agencies mandated to protect the elderlyand disabled are backing off from allegations of conservator abuse. Reports to police go uninvestigated, District Attorneys pass on their obligations to prosecute, the state agencies, such as the Professional Fiduciaries Bureau in California seem to be paralyzed and unable to even reply to incoming complaints. The State Attorney Generals offices refuses to investigate, saying they dont do probate. Numerous complaints have been tendered to the FBI, from Florida to California. The FBI has never launched an investigation. When the GAO submitted a recent report on conservatorship abuse, the recommendations were seen to only eventuate in an increase in the numbers of people under the thumb of the State, rather than to address the inherent abuses that may occur when a person loses all his rights and all access to his property.

2	Sadie Robertson Makes Massive Announcement That Could Mean Big Change For Duck Dynasty 17-year-old Duck Dynasty and Dancing with the Stars sensation Sadie Robertson has just made her debut in the world of modeling when she appeared on Sherri Hills catwalk. I would love to continue to model it just depends on what opportunities I get, Sadie told PEOPLE. Of course, I want to always stay true to who I am and make sure in everything I do, God is getting the glory. If modeling is one of those things that keeps presenting itself to me, I would love to do it and continue to get more involved. The reality star has a particular interest in modeling for Sherri Hill, because she claims that they are family just like Duck Dynasty and Duck Commander. Most people dont realize this, but the whole family works together in the business, Sadie told the magazine. They are super nice people. Mrs. Sherri does an amazing job really capturing my message of living original. We just make a good match. Sadie first made an appearance on the Sherri Hill show in 2013, but her latest appearance in a satin royal blue gown had viewers stunned. What do you think? Do you support Sadie in her modeling career? 
2	Theres No Way Obama Is Serving Two More Years After What Gowdy Just Uncovered Preparing to file suit against the president, Rep. Trey Gowdy Senators Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Rand Paul, R-Ky, team up to fight Obamas over use of power. The thread that holds the tapestry of our country together is respect for and adherence to the rule of law, Gowdy said. Attempts to undermine the law via executive fiat, regardless of motivation, are dangerous. When the executive branch acts outside of constitutional boundaries the legislative branch must use all powers afforded it to respond and restore the constitutional equilibrium. This is not a Republican or Democrat issue. Rather, it should hasten the resolve of all Americans to make certain her elected officials honor the foundational document they swore to protect and defend, Gowdy said, Which would serve as a remedy for Obamas actions. President Obama may seek a fight with Republicans in Congress, but in reality he is fighting with founders of this republic and the carefully crafted separation of powers. Gowdy added. Sen. Cruz also seemed strongly at taking legal action. We are unfortunately witnessing a constitutional crisis, Cruz said. What President Obama is doing is defying the law, defying the Constitution. This last election was a referendum on amnesty, and the American people overwhelmingly rose up and said no, we dont want lawless amnesty. If he goes forward unilaterally defying the Congress elected by the people defying the American voters then its incumbent on Republicans in Congress to use every single constitutional tool we have to defend the rule of law, to reign in a president so that the president does not become an unaccountable monarch. Sen. Paul also felt as if this would be the right action to take. President Obama is not above the law and has no right to issue Executive Amnesty. His actions blatantly ignore the Separations of Powers and the principles our country was founded on. The President has said 22 times previously that he does not have the power to legislate on immigration, Sen. Paul said. I will not sit idly by and let the President bypass Congress and our Constitution, he added 
2	Mother Of 12 On Welfare Complains To Judge Angel Yulee Adams is a woman who is living in Tampa, Florida, where she has chosen to raise her twelve children. Sound problematic? Thats not all. She was raising them all in a small motel room, after failing to pay more than $6,000 in rental fees to the Tampa Housing Authority. Adams was lucky to receive help from the Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office, the State Department of Children and Families, Hillsborough Kids Inc., the Childrens Home Society and A Kids Place. Combined, the organization gave Adams and her family a temporary cottage at a shelter and agreed to pay off her rental fees. Instead of showing her gratitude and getting her life on track, Adams is arguing that she should be receiving these benefits for the rest of her life. Everyone has bent over backward, Regional Director Nick Cox from DCF told the courtroom at a recent hearing. The mother has been less than gracious. Judge Sheehan, who was presiding over the case, agreed with Cox. We know you want us out of your life, we will be thrilled to close this case when you have all these things, Sheehan said, referring to ensuring that her kids were fed, receiving proper healthcare, and living in a good home. A lot of people have gone extra miles for you. Do you understand that? Adams didnt have much to say, except for, No comment, your honor. What do you think? Do people like this need to be taught a serious lesson? 
2	Liberals Want Sadie Robertson Off TV Over What She Said About God Duck Dynasty and Dancing with the Stars star Sadie Robertson recently made some public comments about God, and of course, liberals are reacting. In video segment prior to her dance, the show aired home movies of the teen as her family declared the enormous amount of faith the young girl has always had. She was a great kid. Always super sweet, he father, Willie Robertson, told viewers. She used to do these little sermons on top of the coffee table. And so shed get up and preach to us. The camera then cut to a clip of a 5-year-old Sadie genuinely saying the most important thing in my heart is God. The teen has gone on to express her faith to millions, despite what those around her think of her. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you support Sadie Robertson? 
2	What Juan Williams Just Said About White People Has America Shocked On Fox News Sunday, controversy arose when contributor Juan Williams claimed that there was no diversity among the people calling for President Obamas impeachment. The efforts to get him out of office, he claims, are from people like Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann. And then you come on and say, Oh, no, were not talking about impeachment, thats the Democrats, Juan claimed. All the Democrats are doing is taking advantage of the fact that you guys have demonized President Obama to this extent, because not only does it help them with fundraising, but lots of people, especially in the minority communities, see it as an attack on the first black president. Williams rant was interrupted by host Chris Wallace, who asked, Do you think that the Republican opposition to this presidentyou heard Hakeem Jeffries talk about hatred, is racial, or do you think it is based on principles and policies? Williams responded by claiming that he cant help but consider the demographics. If you look at the core constituency, the people who are in, lets say, tea party opposition, support of impeachment, theres no diversity, its a white, older group of people, Williams claimed. But I would say if you just break it down as a matter of politic analysis and say who is this group, it reminds me that the Republican Party has become almost a completely white party. Williams comments set panelist Michel Needham into a passionate rant, accusing him of demonizing people who honestly want the president to follow the law and the Constitution. According to Needham, Williams might as well have said that anyone opposing Obama is racist. What do you think? Were Williams comments completely off-base? 
1	Officials at the Kitt Peak National Observatory are saying that, while the short period of utter darkness and intense cold was distressing, there is 'no immediate cause for alarm' over the sun's six-second outage Monday. 'We're not sure what caused our sun, which is in essence a self-sustaining fusion reaction, to defy science and just go out for a moment like that, but I wouldn't worry too much,' astronomer Stephen Pompea said. 'There is a slight chance it could repeat, like sunspot activity, a more commonwhup! There it goes again. You seeing this? Kind of weird how itokay, back on.' Observatory personnel said they would give their full attention to investigating the phenomenon as soon as they figure out why last night's moon was blood red and took up half the sky. 
2	Moves Being Made To Insert Obama Into Mt. Rushmore Just when we thought wed heard it all, it appears that Obamas aides are working to prove that his face belongs next to Lincoln and Washington on Mount Rushmore. You heard that right. According to Jim Messina, Obama is one of the all-time great presidents and deserves a spot on the historical landmark no question. So how does Messina justify the fact that Obama has been one of the lowest rated presidents of all time? He believes that Obama walked into the toughest economic situation in several generations. Made tough choices to fix it, took on an incredibly unpopular and difficult fight on healthcare, put all of his political chips on the line, passed it, continued to go on, and have a successful presidency. What do you think? Has Obamas presidency been successful? Would it be a disgrace to have his face on Mount Rushmore? 
3	Century of Enslavement: History of The Federal ReserveJames Corbett 
3	Hastert Allegations Open Window To History of Satanic Ritual Abuse Of ChildrenBy Brandon Turbeville Only a few weeks ago, Hastert was indicted on charges that he structured bank transactions to avoid triggering red flags and then lied about those cash withdrawals to the FBI. As CNN reports, Separately, a woman told reporters that her brother had said his first gay sexual experience was with Hastert when he was a teen and Hastert was a school faculty member. The brother, Steve Reinboldt, died of AIDS in 1995. Hasterts attorney, the high-powered criminal defense lawyer Thomas Green, did not respond to a request for comment. The financial impropriety was apparently an attempt to pay one of these victims $1.7 million dollars for his silence, an individual known only as Individual A beginning in 2010. There are also mentions of two more victims, although their identities are also sealed. NBC News states Federal law enforcement sources have said Individual A was a student at Yorkville High School in Illinois while Hastert was a teacher and coach there in the 60s and 70s and the misconduct was sexual in nature. The identity of Individual A is not likely to be known, however, since the Federal Judge overseeing the case, U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin, granted a protective order requested by Hasterts legal team citing sensitive information, and privacy interests of third parties. It should be noted that Judge Durkin was once a contributor to Hasterts campaign fund and considers himself friendly with Hasterts son. Prior to entering politics, Hastert was both a high school teacher and a wrestling coach, a job he held for over 15 years. Hasterts Sex Abuse History Hastert is no stranger to sex abuse scandals, particularly those that involve underage boys. Remember, in 2006, Hastert famously mishandled the infamous Page Scandal that involved Congressman Mark Foley molesting young boys enrolled in the congressional page program. Hastert had been reportedly told of Foleys sexual escapades months and possibly even years earlier but did absolutely nothing until the scandal became national news. As John Aravosis of AmericaBlog wrote, FACT: Former chief of staff to GOP Rep. Tom Reynolds (R-NY), Kirk Fordham, says he warned Hasterts chief of staff of Foleys behavior three years ago. Whether or not you believe Fordham, his testimony is consistent with the other facts showing that the Republicans knew about Foleys behavior long before last week. FACT: Both Reps. John Boehner, the Republican House Majority Leader, and Tom Reynolds both say they told Dennis Hastert personally about the Foley issue months ago. Hastert says Boehner is lying. So one of the two most powerful Republicans in the House is lying about an investigation into a child sex predator. That deserves a separate investigation right there. FACT: Hasterts staff was informed of the Foley emails a year ago, but Hastert would like us to believe his staff simply never told him that a member of Congress, a member of his leadership team, was under investigation for preying sexually on young children children who Hastert was responsible for. Senior Congressional Aide, Kirk Fordham, stated that not only had he alerted Hasterts office as to the behavior of Foley but that he had conversations with top Republican leadership as far back as two years (subsequent reports suggested three years) prior to the scandal in this regard. As reported by the Associated Press: Kirk Fordham told The Associated Press that when he was told about Foleys inappropriate behavior toward pages, he had more than one conversation with senior staff at the highest level of the House of Representatives asking them to intervene. The conversations took place long before the e-mail scandal broke, Fordham said, and at least a year earlier than members of the House GOP leadership have acknowledged. What followed was a large amount of congressional rats jumping ship and turning on one another in an effort to deflect responsibility for the page scandal. Then-House Majority Leader, John Boehner, and National Republican Congressional Committee Chair, Thomas Reynolds, began stating that they had indeed alerted Hastert to Foleys behavior in 2005 but Hastert had done nothing. Hastert and other congressional leaders were later deemed willfully ignorant by the House Ethics Committee in December 2006 but went unpunished since being willfully ignorant of sexual abuse is apparently worthy of a rebuke but not actually against House rules. Interestingly enough, in 2006, after the allegations regarding the Page Scandal had come to light, it is worth mentioning that Hastert went on the Rush Limbaugh show to complain that the Page Scandal was a Democratic conspiracy against Republicans since the scandal hit right around the time of elections. Hastert, of course, has long been an enemy of American civil liberties. After all, he supported the Bush Administration claims that Iraq was supporting al-Qaeda, helped push through the PATRIOT Act, and the No Child Left Behind Act, Homeland Security Act, and the drilling of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.[1] Ironically, it was the powers given to intelligence agencies to track financial transactions that allowed the FBI to legally sniff out Hasterts criminal acts. Hastert the Bastard is also well-known for being one of the spearheads in bankrupting the US Post Office by virtue of the 2006 mandate, a provision known as the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006, which requires the Post Office to fund the health care benefits of future retirees as far out as 75 years into the future all within a 10-year window. Previously, as in every other business (and the United States Government), the health care of retirees was a pay-as-you-go system. Thanks to the reactionaries and Wall Street tools like Dennis Hastert, this is no longer the case for the Post Office and it has resulted in innumerable financial troubles for the institution. The media and congressional parasites, however, painted the USPS troubles as the result of government inefficiency. Returning to the issue of sexual abuse, however, a September 30, 2006 article by Wayne Madsen reveals that the 2006 PageGate scandal was not the first time Hasterts name was mentioned in connection to sex scandals involving underage boys. Wayne Madsen wrote, Hastert served in Springfield from 1980 to 1986, six years to make the transformation from wrestling coach with a cloud surrounding himself to politician. In 1986, Hastert received an unexpected promotion. After incumbent Republican Rep. John Grotberg was nominated by the GOP for a second term, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and fell into a coma. The Illinois Republican Convention selected Hastert as the replacement on the ticket, a virtual election to the U.S. House of Representatives in the strongly Republican district. In 1989, when the allegations of homosexuality among GOP congressmen arose during the first Pagegate scandal [the so-called Franklin cover-up], Hasterts name was one of those whispered. In 1995, Hastert became Chief Deputy Whip under now-disgraced GOP Majority Whip Tom DeLay. Hastert would luck out again. In late 1989, amid scandal, House Speaker Newt Gingrich resigned. After Louisiana Rep. Bob Livingston was elected as Speaker by the GOP House Caucus, he too resigned after admitting to an extramarital affair an amazing development since the House had impeached President Bill Clinton for lying about his own extramarital affair. Hastert, without much scrutiny, emerged as the compromise candidate for Speaker, after the GOP deadlocked on Majority Leader Dick Armey (also the subject of various rumors after he called Barney Frank, Barney Fag) and Majority Whip DeLay. Now Hastert is fending off allegations that he knew about the page problem with Mark Foley for 11 months and refrained from taking any action. It is also noteworthy that the Chairman of the House Page Board is Republican Rep. John Shimkus, a close ally of Hasterts from Illinois. Allegations of cover-up are also surrounding Louisiana GOP Rep. Rodney Alexander, the sponsor of the 16-year old Louisiana page to whom Foley sent messages concerning masturbation and erections, and New York Republican Rep. Tom Reynolds, the chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee. Both representatives stand accused of covering up Foleys activities for as long as 11 months. Later, in October 2006, Madsen also wrote, However, rather than dealing with Foleys sexual habits on the Web, the GOP leadership sank deeper into cover-up mode, burying the Foley matter lest it shine a light on other GOP gay hypocrites in Congress whose anti-gay agenda would embarrass the party a few months before a critical presidential and congressional election. It is now being reported that the House Page Board chairman John Shimkus (R-IL) actually enabled Foley to meet an underage pages for dinner dates after the House GOP leadership were aware of Foleys inappropriate communications with the teens. Madsen also wrote: The conservative Washington Times, which broke the underage prostitute scandal surrounding the Franklin Credit Union in Nebraska and the Reagan and Bush administrations in the late 1980s, called on Hastert to resign over the Pagegate scandal involving Foley and the other GOP House members. Yet Madsen brushed upon an even more concerning possibility in terms of how far Hasterts connections to sexual abuse may go, with a seeming implication that Hastert may have been involved in some type of organized ring of sex abusers and child traffickers, at least according to the Wayne Madsen Report. Madsen wrote on October 9, 2006, Some of these allegations and connections sound eerily familiar to those uncovered during the infamous Franklin Scandal of the late 1980s where a massive Satanic And Ritual Abuse pedophile ring was uncovered by Senator John W. DeCamp and a number of other Nebraska State Senators and investigators. The pedophile ring went from the local oligarchy of Omaha across the state and even to the top levels of American society, including the military and government structures. Investigators were hampered in their work from Federal agencies, the media, and local law enforcement from the beginning and the amount of individuals investigating the SAR ring who died questionable deaths was staggering. The scandal, which is explained in detail by Senator John W. DeCamps excellent book, The Franklin Cover-up, involved a number of high profile childrens organizations that were acting as conduits and providers of children for Satanic Ritual Abuse and prostitution to high level members of banking, corporate, government, and military personnel. One of these organizations was Boys Town, the orphanage located just outside of Omaha, Nebraska. Interestingly enough, Dennis Hastert was provided the Boys Town Service To America award, a highly prestigious award that, at the time, had only ever been presented to Colin Powell. Considering the track record of the individuals that Boys Town has allowed such close access to children, it is well within reason to suggest that another investigation is in order. The Bush Connection There is, however, another connection that bears resemblance to the allegations made against Hastert and the Franklin Case the connection to a Bush family member. As Madsen writes, Apparently, the Bush apple did not fall far from the tree. Consider what DeCamp wrote in 1996: Inside investigators of Franklin, and the Webb case before it, know that Bushs name came up at the very beginning, and it came up more than once. The July of 1989 World-Herald column, in an attempt to discredit this and other victim-witness testimony, attributed the mention of Bush to a person under psychiatric care, meaning Loretta Smith. In reality, the report was from Nelly Patterson Webb. Nelly first brought up Bush in 1986, when she told Julie Walters about the sex parties she was flown to in Washington and Chicago. She saw Bush at two of these parties, she said, one in each city. Nelly also told Walters that one frequent party-goer with King was a boy named Brent, the one who was flown to another city somewhere after a falling out with King. Walters did not have the resources to cross-check this information with the life of Brandt Thomas, the Boys Town resident who had moved in with Larry King. Franklin credit union files contained a letter signed by King, in his capacity as Youth Affairs Committee advisor for the National Black Republican Council, listing Thomas as one of two national contact people for NBRC campus chapters. Three years later, with an investigation of abuse by King and the Webbs finally under way, Nelly was interviewed again. Speaking to Franklin committee detective Jerry Lowe, she repeated her account of the Chicago party, and said that Bush and the two men he arrived with appeared to have left the affair with a young black man she called Brandt. DeCamp was careful to point out that, mere attendance at a party by a politician or anyone else does not automatically make that person guilty of the crimes of other individuals at the event. However, he continued, Sorenson told Vlahoulis that both Kimberly and Nelly brought up the name of George Bush and indicated that they had both met him. On June 10, 1989, Lowe received a letter from a citizen: There is a psychologist in Omaha who used to work for the CIA. In response to a direct question by an Omaha psychiatrist regarding George Bushs private life, this psychologist reported hearing rumors when Bush was head of the CIA, that correspond directly with one of the inferences made by Nelly Webb, and commented to the psychiatrist, But how do you investigate your boss? Whether or not a Bush presence at Kings parties were confirmed, he certainly backed key Nebraskans tied to King. In August 1990, Bush appointed Ronald Roskens of Nebraska, to head the Agency for International Development (AID). Roskens had been fired the previous year as chancellor of the University of Nebraska, where Larry King was a member of his chancellors advisory committee. Gary Caradoris daily notes for Feb. 19, 1989 record: I was informed that Roskins [sic) was terminated by the state because of sexual activities reported to the Regents and verified by them. Mr. Roskins was reported to have had young men at his residence for sexual encounters. As part of the separation from the state, he had to move out of the state-owned house because of the liability to the state if some of this sexual behavior was illegal. Upon Roskins vacating the house, he was provided a house by Joe Seacrist [sic) of the Lincoln Journal-Star. The leadership of AID is the kind of sensitive job AID assignments have been used as a cover by CIA agents, for instance for which appointees undergo a background check that would have to turn up what Caradori also heard. Nevertheless, George Bush appointed Roskens. When Harold Andersens reputation sagged in the fall of 1989, due to his unconcealed association with Larry King, his friends at the Nebraska Society of D.C. staged an awards dinner in Washington to polish his image. George Bush sent a testimonial letter in praise of the adviser to the U.S. State Department and occasional horseshoes-player at the White House. Bush Wrote about Andersen and his wife: These two outstanding individuals have spent countless hours serving the city of Omaha and the state of Nebraska. Throughout Harold Andersens career with the Omaha World-Herald, he has made that fine paper an example of journalistic integrity. In addition, he has been a vigorous promoter of efforts to improve the quality of life in his community.[2] In the 1992 book by Webster Griffin Tarpley and Anton Chaitkin entitled George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography, Tarpley and Chaitkin add to the discussion over Bushs connections to pedophilia networks. In reference to the revelation that Craig Spence, a powerbroker in the Republican party who had ties to a number of influential officeholders, including then-President George Bush, had been caught arranging White House tours with teenage male prostitutes, Tarpley and Chaitkin write, [] George Bush was less than pleased with the media coverage of the prostitution charges and kept abreast of the scandal as it mushroomed. The Washington Times reported in an article titled White House Mute on Call Boy Scandal, that White House sources confirmed that President Bush has followed the story of the late night visit and Mr. Spences links to a homosexual prostitution ring under investigation by federal authorities since they were disclosed June 29 in the Washington Times. But top officials will not discuss the storys substance, reportedly even among themselves. Press officers have rebuffed repeated requests to obtain Mr. Bushs reaction and decline to discuss investigations or fall out from the disclosures. By midsummer, the scandal had been buried. The President had managed to avoid giving a single press conference where he would surely have been asked to comment. Soon after, the Nebraska scandal would break out. Tarpley and Chaitkin recount how the European press seemed to be both more astute and more interested than the American and even the Nebraska papers. Magazines like the Spanish outlet, Pronto, reported that the Franklin scandal appears to directly implicate politicos of the state of Nebraska and Washington, D.C. who are very close to the White House and George Bush himself. Indeed, much of the mainstream press attempted to obfuscate and coverup not only connections to George Bush but the fact that the abuse had even happened. Tarpley and Chaitkin continue by writing: Way back in 1985, a young girl, Eulice (Lisa) Washington, was the center of an investigation by Andrea L. Carener, of the Nebraska Department of Social Services. The investigation was instigated because Lisa and her sister Tracey continually ran away from their foster parents, Jarrett and Barbara Webb. Initially reluctant to disclose information for fear of being further punished, the two girls eventually recounted a remarkable story, later backed up by other children who had been fostered out to the Webbs [sic]. These debriefings were conducted by Mrs. Julie Walters, another welfare officer, who worked for Boys Town at the time, and who had been called in because of the constant reference by the Webb children and others, to that institution. Lisa, supported by her sister, detailed a massive child sex, homosexual, and pornography industry, run in Nebraska by Larry King. She described how she was regularly taken to Washington by plane, with other youths, to attend parties hosted by King and involving many prominent people, including businessmen and politicians. Lisa specifically named George Bush as being in attendance on at least two separate occasions. Remember, this was in 1985, emphasized the Australian newsletter. Another part of the Franklin story, and which is also relayed via DeCamps book is summarized by Tarpley and Chaitkin: From Julie Walters 50-page handwritten report: The polygraph test which Lisa took only centered around sexual abuse committed by Jarrett Webb. At that time, she had said only general things about Larrys trips (i.e. where they went, etc.). She only began talking about her involvement in prostitution during those trips on 3/25/86. Lisa also accompanied Mr. and Mrs. King and Prince on trips to Chicago, N.Y. and Washington, D.C. beginning when she was 15 years old. She missed twenty-two days of school almost totally due to these trips. Lisa was taken along on the pretense of being Princes babysitter. Last year she met V.P. George Bush and saw him again at one of the parties Larry gave while on a Washington, D.C. trip. At some of the parties there are just men (as was the case at the party George Bush attended)older men and younger men in their early twenties. Lisa said she has seen sodomy committed at those parties. At these parties, Lisa said every guest had a bodyguard and she saw some of the men wearing guns. All guests had to produce a card which was run through a machine to verify who the guest was, in fact, who they said they were. And then each guest was frisked down before entering the party. The details of the accusations against Mr. Bush are known to be in the hands of the FBI. A Franklin Committee report stated: The plane was large and had rows of two seats apiece on either side of the interior middle aisle. She indicates that King got the boys from Boys Town and the boys worked for him. She stated that Rod Evans and two other boys with the last name of Evans were on the plane. Could not recall the names of the other boys. The boys who flew to Chicago with Washington and King were between the ages of fifteen and eighteen. Most of the boys were black but some were white. She was shown a color photograph of a boy and identified that boy as being one of the boys on the plane. She could not recall his name. She indicates that she was coerced to going on the trip by Barbara Webb. She indicates that she attended a party in Chicago with King and the male youths. She indicated George Bush was present. She indicates that she set [sic] at a table at the party while wearing nothing but a negligee. She stated that George Bush saw her on the table. She stated she saw George Bush pay King money, and that Bush left the party with a nineteen year old black boy named Brent. Lisa said the party George Bush attended was in Chicago in September or October 1984. According to the Chicago Tribune of October 31, 1984, Bush was in Illinois campaigning for congressional candidates at the end of October. Lisa added more details on the Chicago trip, and told why she was sure it was George Bush she had seen. According to a May 8, 1989 report by investigator Jerry Lowe, Eulice [Lisa] indicated that she recognized George Bush as coming to the party and that Bush had two large white males with him. Eulice indicated Bush came to the party approximately 45 minutes after it started and that he was greeted by Larry King. Eulice indicated that she knew George Bush due to the fact that he had been in political campaigns and also she had observed a picture of Bush with Larry King at Larry Kings house in Omaha. There is no question that Lisa and Tracey Webb were abused in the way they claimed. But, in keeping with the alleged pattern of coverup, a Washington County, Nebraska judge in December 1990 dismissed all charges against their abusers, Jarrett and Barbara Webb. The judge ignored presented testimony of the 1986 report by Boys Town official Julie Walters. The report stated: Lisa was given four polygraph tests administered by a state trooper at the State Patrol office on Center Street in Omaha. The state trooper, after Lisas testing was completed, told [another foster parent] he tried to `break Lisa down, but he was convinced she was telling the truth.@s8 Furthermore, numbers of foster care officials and youth workers debriefed the sisters. All of them fully believed not only their general story of abuse, but specifically their account of Bushs involvement. The March 1986 report on Bush was incorporated into the Foster Care Review Boards official report presented to the Senate Franklin Committee and to law enforcement. As Kathleen Sorenson wrote in a report dated May 1, 1989, This was long before he [Bush] was president. It seems like there were more exciting people to `lie about if thats what they were doing. The rumors about Mr. Bush were given new life when Dr. Ronald Roskens, the head of the Agency for International Development (AID), found himself the object of controversy.[3] Conclusion The information contained in this article is merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the question of the existence of worldwide satanic ritual abuse-based pedophilia networks across the United States and the rest of the world with members reaching into the highest levels of government, banking, and corporate structures. The recent accusations against Dennis Hastert should thus come as no surprise. What is a mystery, however, at least at this time, is why the allegations come now, or even at all. This is a particularly relevant question when he have witnessed law enforcement and governments predilection for covering up incidents of child abuse and sex with underage individuals time and time again. Did Hastert run afoul of someone with the relevant blackmail information? Was his impropriety uncovered by a rogue law enforcement agent? Had he outlived his usefulness to the system and was sacrificed in a limited hangout operation? The answers to these questions are yet to be known if they ever will be. However, given Hasterts connections to the individuals discussed in this article, their connections to satanic ritual abuse cults, and Hasterts own alleged improprieties, this case may be yet one more slightly open window into the culture of abuse of children that is pervasive in Washington DC and in oligarchical, aristocratic, and underground societies throughout the world. Considering also that not only is the mainstream media skirting the issue of sexual misconduct, but that court officials who have connections to Hastert are moving to kill knowledge of the court proceedings, that window is likely to be shut again very soon.

2	Muslim Runs Over Veteran At 100 MPH In The Name Of Allah... Media Silent [VIDEO] According to recent reports, a California veteran has just come forward with claims that he was the victim of a terrorist attack, when a man slammed into him on the highway in the name of Allah. Scott Alcala claims he was driving to a San Jose golf course to play with his father, when he was hit by a truck. The Blaze reports that the driver, who was later identified as Ameer Abbas Fakhraldi, was driving at over 100 miles per hour. But thats not all. Fakhraldi told police he drove into Alcala on purpose. The off-duty police officer went to talk to the other drive in his vehicle and he said, Are you alright? That was way too fast, and [the driver] said I did it on purpose. It was in the name of Allah, Alcala told reporters. Authorities say that Fakhraldi tried to blame the crash on Donald Trumps improper treatment of minorities. He also alleged that he used psychic/telekinetic powers to control the steering during the crash. Alcala firmly believes he was the victim of a terrorist attack. He was just trying to target as many people as he could, he told reporters. He was just trying to cause a pile up. It wasnt me personally. It was as if someone were to throw a bomb in the middle of downtown, its no different, its the same thinking. Coming back from Afghanistan, thinking Im on home soil Im safe now, and just shouldnt have to worry about something like that, you know, he commented. What do you think? Does this man deserve to be punished to the full extent of the law and investigated as a terrorist? 
2	Youll Never Believe Which FOX News Anchor Was Found Dead... According to recent reports, Fox News international reporter Dominic Di Natale was found dead at the age of 43. Colorado officials were alerted by officials last week that Di Natale was in a suicidal state regarding serious undisclosed health issues. Officials found Di Natales body, and the coroner later concluded that the journalist had indeed taken his own life. Di Natale was known for his willingness to cover the most dangerous stories, and his ability to connect with interviewees who were notoriously hard to reach. He has corresponded with both BBC and Fox News. Di Natale traveled to Syria in 2008, where he established and taught a course for young Syrian entrepreneurs. He also served as an on sight journalist during that time. In 2011, Di Natale covered the story of Osama Bin Laden in Abbottabad. We were extremely saddened to learn of Dominics passing and send our deepest condolences to his family and friends, the Fox News spokesperson wrote in a statement. He was an esteemed journalist and an integral part of our news coverage throughout the Middle East. Di Natale had most recently been transferred to the Fox News West Cost bureau in Los Angeles, CA, where he was covering the Ferguson riots. 
1	Since it began in May, the Bush 2004 re-election campaign has been responsible for creating thousands of new jobs, officials announced Monday. Newly employed workers at a Bush campaign office in Chicago. 'The Bush-Cheney campaign is giving a much-needed boost to the troubled economy,' said Ken Mehlman, Bush's campaign manager. 'Every penny we receive is immediately pumped back into the economy, and we've already created thousands of jobs for out-of-work speechwriters, graphic designers, and door-to-door canvassers.' Though Bush has yet to formally announce his candidacy, his campaign war chest surpassed the $100 million mark on Nov. 13. With 11 months remaining before the election, the Bush campaign is well on its way to its goal of raising a record-breaking $170 million. 'While other segments of the economy are undergoing hiring freezes, the Bush-Cheney campaign is experiencing rapid growth,' Mehlman said. 'We've hired everything from computer technicians to manage the campaign's database of registered Republicans to an entire team of producers to create our television ads. George W. Bush is putting Americans back to work.' 'With the U.S. unemployment rate hovering around 6 percent, this influx of employment capital represents no small example of the success of the Republican Party's economic policy,' Mehlman added. 'And we're just gearing up. Our campaign projects consistent, quarter-by-quarter expansion for the next 11 months.' Besides high-tech and skilled positions, the campaign has created thousands of jobs in the service sector. 'Walk through our massive national campaign headquarters, and you'll see how many workers it takes just to empty the garbage cans,' Mehlman said. 'Imagine all the people it takes to cater a fundraising dinner, then multiply that number by all the restaurants, hotels, and convention centers that the president will stop at along the campaign trail. Those red, white, and blue posters don't hang themselves, you know.' A factory worker in Macon, GA, works for the Bush re-election campaign. The campaign has created manufacturing jobs, as well. 'Blue-collar laborers all across the country are rolling out billions of posters and T-shirts,' Mehlman said. 'We just placed an order for 6,000 boxes of 'Viva Bush' buttons. The people working in that factory in Georgia will tell you what Bush can do for the economy.' Mehlman said the Bush campaign's positive effect on the economy far outpaces that of the leading Democratic candidates. 'The Democrats simply can't say they're doing as much for the economy as we are,' Mehlman said. 'Howard Dean is out there collecting $50 donations on the Internet. As of Sept. 30, his campaign had a mere $25.4 million. How many workers can that paltry sum sustain?' In contrast, Mehlman cited a recent Republican fundraiser held at the private residence of the chairman of Watermark Communities Inc., a company that builds golf retirement communities. 'The Florida fundraiser employed hundreds of people, from the swing-choir members to the waiters who served the Angus beef and potatoes,' Mehlman said. 'That dinner pulled in $1.7 millionwhich will be used to throw more fundraisers, thereby creating even more jobs.' Bush called his fundraising success 'a positive indicator for the nation's struggling economy.' 'This job-creating initiative is good for my re-election campaign and good for Americans,' Bush said. 'With the generosity of Pioneer-level donors like William McGuire, chairman of United Health Care Group, and Warren Staley, CEO of the Cargill agribusiness company, this country will be back on its feet in no time. Bush-Cheney '04 is turning money into jobs.' Bush said that, although his administration is 'narrowing in on economic recovery in America,' more work is needed. 'We will continue to do our part up until Nov. 2, 2004,' Bush said. 'However, we can't do it without you. Call the Republican campaign office near you to find out how you can help.'

1	According to a revealing new Washington PostABC News poll, the need for more places to sit is rapidly eclipsing the economy, health care crisis, and war in Iraq to become the No. 1 issue in the minds of voters. 'Standing up and walking hurts my feet real bad,' said poll respondent Eva Wolchover, 51, who ranked the sitting issue as this election's most crucial. 'Why haven't either of the candidates promised us more chairs and couches? I've been on my feet for 20 minutes and I'm getting sore.' In response to the poll, both Barack Obama and John McCain have vowed to alleviate the national seating crisis, and will be participating in a series of town hall sit-downs in nine major cities beginning this week. 
2	Burger King Switches To 100% Halal Meat In the past few years, weve seen increased pressure from liberals and the media being put on major companies and franchises to be politically correct. The result has been disturbing, to say the least. Now, new reports indicate that Burger King has just decided to engulf more than 400 chain outlets in France in a major business transaction that requires them to serve 100 percent halal meat. This means eliminating bacon and chicken from their menus, and potentially affects the other meats on their menus as well. Analysts suspect that this is a move by the Fast Food Franchise to increase revenue and beat out its primarily competitor, McDonalds. There are more than 1,300 McDonalds locations in France, and that number is steadily growing. The decision impacts the more than 19,000 people employed at the Quick chains. The acquisition moved Burger King from 30 stores in France to more than 400. The decision is particularly disturbing given the recent attacks in Paris. It is clear that they have chosen to support the Muslim population, at a time when extremism is clearly an issue. What do you think of Burger Kings decision? Will you boycott them? 
3	U.K. Town Moves Forward with Fluoridated Milk for ChildrenBy Derrick Broze The Blackpool Gazette reports: Coun Graham Cain, cabinet secretary for Blackpool Council, said: Unfortunately the state of Blackpools dental health is very poor. However, where some parts of the country can benefit from fluoride naturally appearing in their daily drinking water, in Blackpool we cannot. What we do have is a method through the free breakfast programme that allows us to reach all primary school children as they are growing up and make the fluoride milk available to them there. The proposal will allow for children to opt out and requires the schools to provide non-fluoridated milk. First proposed in 2013 the plan was delayed while studies were conducted. The studies found that children in the town have lower than normal levels of fluoride. The Blackpool Councils website states, a proposal to introduce fluoridated milk, which contains fluoride to help reduce the risk of tooth decay, was approved by the Councils Executive on Monday 18 January. The milk, which is recommended by the World Health Organisation, is the latest in Blackpool Councils plans to tackle poor dental hygiene amongst children in the town. Around 400 children in Blackpool are also admitted to hospital every year to have teeth extracted under general anaesthetic, at a cost to the NHS of thousands of pounds. The Council also states that the fluoridated milk plan will come at no extra cost to the taxpayer thanks to the free breakfast program. They estimate that 8,400 students currently receive milk on a daily basis and many of them will now be drinking fluoridated milk. The plan would add .8 mg Fluoride per 189 ml of milk, or 4.2 parts per million. In April 2015 the U.S. government lowered the recommended levels of fluoride to 0.7 parts per million. Interestingly, under a section titled Ethical Considerations the Blackpool council writes none. The reason I find that interesting is because a simple search of studies on fluoridation will show that there are many health issues associated with the practice and thus dosing children with the chemical through their milk does raise some ethical questions. The Blackpool Council also writes that the benefits of fluoridated milk have been proven by the European Union and the World Health Organisation. This is why fluoride is widely used in many ways for example water or toothpaste and mouth washes. A well mineralised tooth is what everyone is trying to achieve to prevent decay, the Council writes. However, critics have long argued that any benefits of fluoride are only effective when applied topically, directly to the teeth. This would make water and milk fluoridation largely a waste of resources. Moreover, exposing the internal organs to fluoride might actually be harmful to health. The possibility of harmful side effects from water fluoridation is still heavily debated. In 2015 Truth In Media reported that the Cochrane Collaboration, a global independent network of researchers, professionals, and patients, narrowed the review down to the most comprehensive, well-designed and reliable papers, before analyzing and publishing their conclusion. According to Newsweek: The review identified only three studies since 1975of sufficient quality to be includedthat addressed the effectiveness of fluoridation in the population at large. These papers determined that fluoridation does not reduce cavities to a statistically significant degree, says study co-author Anne-Marie Glenny, a health science researcher at Manchester University in the United Kingdom. The scientists also found insufficient evidence that fluoridation reduces tooth decay in adults (children excluded). From the review, were unable to determine whether water fluoridation has an impact on caries levels in adults, Glenny says. Trevor Sheldon, dean of the Hull York Medical School in the United Kingdom, conducted a review of water fluoridation in 2000. Sheldon concluded that the process is not effective. I had assumed because of everything Id heard that water fluoridation reduces cavities but I was completely amazed by the lack of evidence, he told Newsweek. My prior view was completely reversed. Sheldon points out that some studies have actually shown that when water fluoridation was ceased, cavities went down a small percentage among schoolchildren. This includes a 2001 study of two British Columbia communities that was included in the Cochrane review. The Cochrane team also found that most studies confirming the effectiveness of fluoridation were completed prior to the widespread use of dental products such as mouth rinses and toothpastes. The study did find evidence that fluoridation was linked to a 26 percent decrease in cavities. However, this study was also done before the growth of modern dentistry. The researchers write, We have limited confidence in the size of this effect due to the high risk of bias within the studies and the lack of contemporary evidence. In early June, the Health Research Board (HRB) completed an in-depth review of the effects of water fluoridation. The review was conducted at the behest of the U.S. Department of Health. After examining all internationally peer-reviewed papers on the topic of fluoride and health effects from 2006 to 2014, the HRB found no definitive evidence that community water fluoridation is associated with positive or negative systemic health effects.

It seems the adults in the UK are as braindead as Americans Just eliminate the milk.its very cariogenic. Lactose is ideal food for tooth decay causing bacteria. Raw milk is some of the most nutritious food on this planet, not carcinogenic. Just rinse your mouth after eating. For kids, milk has vial protein, calcium, colostrum and vitamin d and good gut biotics. Adults do not need milk. IN fact taking all dairy products out of a diet eliminates lots of ailments adults have. Correct. ITS FOR BABY COWS! Duh! We have switched to rice milk and almond milk and are better for doing so. I dont doubt that for a second. Im long past any desire for milk preferring beer but I do drink a glass or two of coconut milk now and again. He said CARIOGENIC, not carcinogenic! Look it up if you dont know what it means! Here in the East of England, we consumed raw milk from a nearby farm until 1985. We were healthy as horses; didnt get so much as a cold. Then, the government, in their wisdom, essentially stopped the sale of raw milk to the public. After that, we got unwell a lot more often. Makes you wonder Or try raw milk without and the dead bacteria in it from processing and rBGH (not sure if Britains milk has that monsanto hormone in it). Yep! As much as Id like to agree with you, research shows that bovine milk is cariostatic; human breast milk is even more cariogenic thought the stage at which infants nurse their teeth have not yet erupted. Formula milk has been shown to be much more cariogenic cariostatic (kr--statik), Yes. Whats your point? Point is just to give clarity to the words being used. I noticed the confusion between the words cariostatic, cariogenic, and carcinogenic. Moms milk is the best. Milk is also food for little people (babies) and little critters. Consumption of milk beyond a certain point/stage is not the normal natural thing. Lived on a ranch with lots of critters. There was a herd of nanny goats that provided milk for the babies who could not have moms milk. As for fluoride a nasty chemical poison that is toxic and a slow kill. Blessings Absolutely true. cariogenic |karjenik| WTF!!! WHO WAS THE ABSOLUTE MORON THAT SIGNED THIS OFF??!!! This is daylight killing of children!!! Fluoride is a poison! This should be illegal!! Im appalled!! Unfortunately, theyre not morons. They know what theyre doing DO YOU READ.NO ONE WHO EARNS OVER 75,000 a year GIVES THEIR CHILD FLUORIDE because they actually READ YOU RETARD.they are killing YOU POOR ON PURPOSEand it will be your OWN DAMN STUPID FAULTS for trusting and NOT EDUCATING YOURSELF SLAGS who TRUST THEIR INNOCENT CHILDREN TO MONEY MONGGERS. Say again? You got Mommie issues. It is done deliberately to dumb down the population; to lower the IQ of children in order to make them into obedient robots that will serve the ruling elite without questioning anything. Show me the evidence. All studies have shown no adverse affects on mobidity and mortality rates where there is fluoride in the water. Other poisons we give our children include vitamin A, and cobalt. Why because they, like fluoride are only toxic in higher concentrations. They would also die without them. Another extremely corrosive chemical called oxygen is killing us all but try living without it. Sorry, Doug, but you havent completed your studies! Fluoride dumped into water supplies comes from manufacturing waste by-products usually from China. Still want to consume that? Fluoride was used by Nazis as tranquilizer for prisoners; causes brain damage (so one doesnt observe or learn or even care to learn); creates acidic blood which assists all disease and cancers in growing; and more. As population has consumed more fluoride brushed with it, people get more caries than ever Dental industry ke4eps growing to provide ever more care for diseased teeth gums over the years. You arrogantly begin your comment with show me the evidence. You co0uld do that for yourself with online searches library books, if you werent so lazy. Well said. I deplore your ignorance. Where do you get your information? From his communist-indoctrinated universities and pseudo scientists who conduct the so-called studies. Apparently the fluoride is working on him marvelously. How about stopping the sugar? and brushing the teeth twice a day. But even sadder then this is the fact, yes fact we can heal a cavity with fermented cod liver oil and butter oil. This is one way and I think there are others but why heal, cure and prevent when all we have to do is give a corporation money for a waste product and they can now make more money on the ignorance of a population? Dear Sir, I think youve hit the nail on the head. The problem isnt a lack of fluoride, its all henchmen of the evil Nestle, Kraft, Haribo, Mars etc corporations cleverly wrapping their carcinogenic and sugar laden products in every corner of the globe. Oh no, all these plastic wrapped sugar chocolate sweeties couldnt possibly have anything to tooth decay now could it? Its because theyre not drinking enough fluoride. You can clearly tell that Blackpools local government have sold our their own people for some under-the counter money. More misplaced blame. The parents could solve this problem by making their kids brush their teeth before school and bed. Oral hygiene is necessary but it is insufficient to combat the adverse effects of sugar. Adding most artificial sweeteners (especially aspartame) takes us from the pan into the fire. If you stop the sugar, it is usually replaced with poisons like aspartame The bottles say NO ADDED SUGAR. if you look at the ingredients you will usually see an alternative sweetener Dont we always do ourselve in? They voted to dumb fown their own kids instead of simply teaching them to rinse their mouths with water after eating, changing the acidic condition which break down tooth enamel causing cavities ( no its not sugar that causes tooth decay, but refined sugar is bad for many other reasons including the fact that it does feed the bacteria that produce the acid waste by product which is what break down tooth enamel). Just rinse your mouth with water people (brushing helps too but its pH neutral water that does the real trick. Adding raw baking soda to toothpaste can produce a residual buffering of mouth pH levels to above 6.7 or so (the threshold for enamel crystal lattice breakdown.) Non flouride toothpaste please. You can make your own from baking soda.Its also dirt cheap. Topical fluoride doesabsolutelyreinforce tooth enamel by exchanging calcium ions with fluoride ions converting the enamel crystal to fluoroapatite.much more resistant to desolution by bacterial acids. Mucous membrane absorption and swallowed toothpaste will however create a systemic exposure. Stay away from sugar and white flour products, brush and floss effectively and you need not take the risk. This is obscene. Seems like Brits have become total morons like yanks. Stop with the goddam sweeties and pampering the kids. They will all blow up to be waddling tubs of imbecilic lard. Fluoride is not naturally used by ANY cellular metabolic process in the human body. I just got false teeth at age 70. should have done it years ago. What a difference. I drink lots of coffee and NOT milk. My wife drinks raw milk from the neighbour farmer and has lots of ailmens so I told her to delete the milk and now she feels GREAT. Interesting, even the raw milk has a negative effect. Is it cow or goat? I found the opposite to be true for me although I only eat raw foods and things I grow or raise myself. My system seems to be clean and unaffected by raw goat milk. It would appear she is lactose intolerant. She did right to cut out the milk. Wholly crap. So lets see here, we have a situation where teeth are rotting so we will add a waste product from the aluminum processing industry that if dumped into a river, lake or ocean would be a crime, is a proven neuro-toxin that destroys the endocrine system, is proven NOT to fix anything and proven to also cause fluorosis, check check check and check. Ok DO IT! Well it dumbs down the kids and makes them docile. Exactly what the Agenda 21 people want. Well, it is written the gulags used it and cut the number of guards by 75% if what I read was correct. There is also some mention of the use of sodium fluoride in the WW2. Yes! That is what this entire obsession with adding various poisons to our air and water is all about. HITLER eat yr heart. Its the NWO. Neurotoxin will cause all manner of terrible problems for kids as they grow up. A filled or lost tooth is nothing by comparison I hope they also increased the amount of pus in the milk to balance out the taste. Because fluoridation is cheaper than vaccines as a way to shorten their life span. All these poisons are part of the global depopulation program aimed at reducing the world population by 90%. Chemtrails are doing the same thing. You are absolutely correct. This is what the zika virus is about Do not get pregnant. Also geoengineering and vaccines, etc. Will drinking liquid body wash in the shower help to keep me clean all day? Another program for enforced RETARDATION of Britains children. Retarded people vote these mind-controlling slave masters into power. It is a sadly continuing cycle, the things that are lacking are wisdom to wish to change things, and the courage to do that. Stop giving your kids refined sucrose. Considering that many breakfast cereals contain 35% and even higher refined sucrose content, when you stop shoving such sugar dummies in their mouths to pacify them by sending their minds into a damaged torpor, you will see that they no longer get rotting teeth, simple. They will also have stronger immune systems, and much better intellects and personalities. Refined white sucrose sugar is poison. When my back hurts I eat Ben Gay. Works well and that goes for suntan lotion as well. Eating topicals in unregulated amounts is what modern medicine is all about! U.K. home of idiocracy by elite edict. This is wrong on so many levels. Its not like they are going to use the milk as mouthwash, they are going to swallow that crap!!!!! You scumbags who implimented this, you should know something. I know who you trully serve. Eternity is trully a very long time without end. So make the best of you holliday while it lasts and whats left of it. In the future when you long back to your holliday and pleasures, you must know one thing. It wont minish your pain, hunger, thrist and sleep deprevasion. And justfied outright!!!! You desreved your punishment and it will never ever cease. Ghouls come up with yet another way to tranquilize those troublesome poor children. Why not give them toothbrushes? Also, best way re4duce caries is alkaline mouth, rinse with baking soda, re4duce sweets (sugar grows bacteria causes acidic mouth gut). I say this because ghouls said the kids dont practice hygeine. Anyway, notice even the royalty in GB have awful sick looking teeth, too much tea cookies? 
2	BREAKING: 49ers Colin Kaepernick Just Learn His Devastating Fate After National Anthem Controversy Last week, we reported that San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the national anthem before a game. Less than 24 hours later, fans were burning his jersey in response to his tasteless protest. Originally, Kaepernicks teammates on the 49ers stood behind him, but now it appears they are changing their tune. According to reports, Fox Sports analyst Jay Glazer suspects that the team is likely to cut Kaepernick altogether. Regardless of politics or not, he has a very, very big uphill battle to make this team. Id be shocked if hes on the 49ers by the time this season ends, Glazer said Monday on Fox Sports. It has nothing to do with political views whatsoever. He lost a ton of weight this offseason, had three surgeries, couldnt work out, lost that double threat, that size-speed ratio. No political views, he just hasnt been effective. Hes regressing as a player. Id be shocked if hes on this roster by the end of this year. He may not be on it in the next two weeks. In case you missed it, Kaepernick claims his actions were a protest to the oppression minorities are facing 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, the quarterback 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. What do you think of Kaepernicks actions? Does he deserve to be cut from the team? 
3	All-Time Low Monarch Butterfly Migration to MexicoGMO, Herbicide-Tolerant Crops identified as one of likely causes of butterfly declines. Monarch butterfly experts including the University of Minnesotas Karen Oberhauser are calling on leaders in Canada, the United States and Mexico to agree on a plan to take immediate action to conserve monarch migration. The leaders will gather at the North American Leaders Summit Feb. 19 in Mexico. The urgent plea came today (Wednesday, Jan. 29) during a press conference in Mexico announcing that the number of monarch butterflies hibernating in Mexico reached an all-time low in 2013. Mexico, the United States and Canada must undertake cooperative conservation efforts to ensure that sufficient high quality habitat is available on the monarchs wintering grounds and sufficient breeding and migration habitat is available in all three countries to maintain, and ideally enhance, North American monarch populations, Oberhauser said. Surveys of forested area used by hibernating monarchs in Mexico showed that just .67 hectares of forest were inhabited by monarchs during December 2013, a 44 percent drop from the same time the previous year, according to data collected by the WWF-Telcel Alliance and Mexicos National Commission for Protected Areas. The findings represent the smallest area since surveys began in 1993. Forest area inhabited by monarchs in Mexico is used as an indirect indicator of the number of butterflies arriving from Canada and the United States each year following a migration of more than 4,000 kilometers. The butterflies spend November through March hibernating in Mexicos temperate forests. Many factors have contributed to a sharp decline in monarch populations in recent years, including loss of reproductive habitat caused by land-use changes and reduction of milkweed (primary food source for monarch larvae) from herbicide use in the United States and Canada; extreme climate conditions in Canada, the United States and Mexico; and deforestation and forest degradation in overwintering sites in Mexico. Tragically, much of their breeding habitat in this region has been lost to changing agricultural practices, primarily the exploding adoption of genetically modified, herbicide-tolerant crops in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Oberhauser said. These crops allow post-emergence treatment with herbicides, and have resulted in the extermination of milkweed from agricultural habitats. Additional habitat has been lost due to suburbanization of agricultural land, she said. Habitat protection in monarch wintering sites alone cannot protect the spectacular North American monarch migration from intensifying human pressures, Oberhauser said. Considering the challenges faced by the monarch butterfly and the clear evidence that their populations are declining, Oberhauser said it is vital to mobilize as many people as possible in conservation work, and that efforts are carefully planned to help the butterfly recover. Through our collective efforts, monarch populations can rebound, so that their migrations may be appreciated by many generations to come, Oberhauser said. While monarchs dont play a key role in any ecosystem and their removal from specific ecosystems would probably not have lasting repercussions, Oberhauser said monarchs deserve protection for both ethical and more selfish reasons. Ethically, preserving monarchs is the right thing to do, she said. From a selfish perspective, Oberhauser said, people can learn a great deal about migration, species interactions, insect population dynamics, and insect reproduction by studying monarchs. Monarchs have a great deal to teach us about how the natural world works, and I would argue that understanding the natural world will benefit us, Oberhauser said. Source: University of Minnesota 
3	What The Russian Withdrawal From Syria Means And What It DoesntBy Brandon Turbeville Those who are both pro-Assad and anti-Assad have all shared their opinions, with many even on the pro-Assad/pro-Russian side opposing the Russian scale down of military involvement out of fear that the Russians are abandoning Assad. At the crux of this opposition to the Russia move, of course, is the fundamental misunderstanding of what the withdrawal actually is. Despite the presentation of the Russian announcement as a total pullout from Syria, coming with everything except pictures of Syrian civilians hanging on to helicopters and airplanes being dumped at sea, the withdrawal is merely the reduction of specific military personnel and equipment. The withdrawal is not really a withdrawal in the sense that most readers would understand it. Instead, it is being presented as such by Western press outlets for propaganda purposes. Remember, Putin has made it clear that the Tartus port will remain open and that the airbases Russia has previously established and operated from will remain functional. Russia is also continuing to drop bombs on ISIS positions. Indeed, on the night before the withdrawal was scheduled to begin, Russian planes obliterated a number of ISIS strongholds near Palmyra. Thus, it should be understood that the Russian withdrawal is not a retreat, but simply a scale down of specific forces and readjustment of strategy. It should also be pointed out that Russian objectives were never to seize and hold Syrian territory as an occupying force. That was the plan of the Americans. Russian objectives were to disrupt and defeat ISIS and shore up the Assad government. Russia has done that and is continuing to do it. So why would Putin announce a partial withdrawal, especially since we can presume that he would be well aware of the way in which he would be represented in the Western press? Why would Putin feel the need to make the announcement public at all? Why not simply make the directive, allow it to be carried out, and maintain the public perception that Russia is still fully involved in Syria? Most likely, the Russian announcement was more politically based than anything else. For instance, one aspect of the announcement, particularly since it coincides with the new ceasefire agreement and the United Nations peace talks, is that it allows Russia to appear as the most rational actor in the fight and the side most committed to actual peace in Syria. This has been Russias methodology since the beginning of its involvement in the crisis where the United States when forced to go toe to toe with Russia politically has ended up with egg on its face every time. Remember, when the U.S. wanted to invade Syria under the pretext of chemical weapons usage, the Russians swooped in and negotiated a deal to remove Syrias chemical weapons stockpile. Many had valid arguments against the disarmament, but, politically speaking, Russia came away looking diplomatic and peaceful while the West, especially the U.S., came away looking like the bloodthirsty warmonger that it is. On numerous occasions, when the U.S. was screaming at the top of its lungs that peace could only come from rebel victory or the removal of Assad, the Russians came in and organized peace talks of their own. These talks ultimately failed but the result portrayed the Russians as the side leaning toward peace and diplomacy while the U.S. was bent on bloody warfare. Russia has been incredibly shrewd and effective on the political front as well as the military front, and the recent announcement seems to be one more aspect of that strategy. The second aspect is that, domestically, Russia is now able to tout a mission accomplished moment, a sort of victorious military triumph, without actually landing on an aircraft carrier and declaring the mission officially over while troops are engaged in a bloodbath on the ground. Putin is able to have his cake and eat it too by pointing out that some military objectives have been achieved but still not claiming the mission is over and leaving Assad to the wolves. It is both an international stance toward peace and a domestic stance toward victory even if for no other reason than public relations. As mentioned earlier, Russia has reaffirmed that not only is the airbase in Latakia and the naval facility in Tartus continuing to operate, but that it will continue air operations against ISIS forces in Syria. Only a day after Putins announcement, Russian Defense Minister Nikolai Pankov stated that Certain positive results have been achieved. A real chance has emerged to put an end to this long-running standoff. But it is still early to talk about victory over terrorism. The Russian aviation group has the task to continue carrying out strikes on terrorist facilities. So with the ceasefire agreement barely holding on, the peace talks taking place at the United Nations, and the threat of a Turkish/GCC invasion of Syria looming in the background, the question now is whether or not the situation will gradually trend toward peace and de-escalation or whether it will in fact escalate to a wider war between the opposing forces in Syria as well as other interested international actors. After all, Staffan de Mistura, the UN Special Envoy for the Syria crisis, has already described the talks as essentially the only thing holding back an even wider full-scale war in Syria. While he made no effort to clarify what he meant by comment, the world outside of the Western countries are generally aware of the American agenda in Syria. Informed observers generally recognize that the NATO bloc, along with Israel and the GCC, are not content to simply admit they have been routed, pick up their ball, and go home. They continue to adapt their own methods in much the same way as the Russians and will respond as soon as they have surveyed the chessboard and have selected their next move. An adjustment of strategy can take many forms but the most concerning is the possible NATO commitment to some type of gamble where it is believed or assumed that the Russians will indeed retreat instead of fight back in the event of a direct military invasion by the regional players and/or the United States. If such a catastrophic military move ever happens, it will be one that affects every human being on the planet as it would pit two nuclear powers in conflict with one another. Regardless, the manner in which the Russian announcement has been portrayed in the corporate Western press has served only to stir up a number of panicked responses from confused onlookers while, at the same time, providing a complete mystification of the true situation on the ground. Thus, it will become even more confusing to any casual observer attempting to gain any accurate representation of the Syrian crisis. Unfortunately, what makes a leader look weak in the eyes of many Americans may very well make him look honorable in the eyes of the rest of the world, particularly those parts of it continuing to suffer under American imperialism, war, and destabilization.

This withdrawal, or down scaling, is a little suspicious considering it is happening just as saudi and all of their mafia allies have announced a huge increase/invasion. On the next tier, the three big mission accomplished objectives for the Rockefeller / Rothschild Mafia were: I listened to the Russian Scaleback this AM on RT and then over on one of the US propaganda outlets. So amusing to listen to my nations news reporters, all they do is regurgitate what the Administration wants them to voice. Very little makes any point. Sad that in appearance Putin and Russia look more helpful than the destructive New World Order regime in DC I cant tolerate listening to western media anymore. And I loath people I work with talking like its fact! Reading through the lies of the american money interests is like reading TEA LEAVES. All the money trails signal that Russia and China are also doing what they are told to do. The world stage is just that, a stage. They will use the appearance of great conflict to stabilize the entire world under a universal system of government and Russia and China also will cause the rest of the world to trust in the new government that will be subject to the G7 nations. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Damascus shall fall. Isaiah 17 Great tribulation is at the door. Matthew 24, Luke 21, Mark 13, Revelation, Daniel 7- 12 I give zero credibility to people who base their ideas on prophecy, particularly from such a filthy source as the old testament. Why dont you learn to Think based on the situation as it is rather than trusting thousand year old bullshit? The old testament is the most shocking thing I have ever tried to read Yes, I found it disgusting even as a child, particularly what they did to the inhabitants of Jericho after the walls came tumbling down (they butchered everybody and salted the fields so they could no longer grow anything if I remember correctly). So different to the story told to me during my brief stint of Sunday School. The roman catholic church is 100% jesuit order. How many people know that I wonder? Or ever read the oaths of the jesuit order? People need to think a bit more for sure! Hummm The Jesuits, I dont know nearly enough about that bunch. I always saw them as the Vaticans CIA but Id sort of put them off for future research, one thing I learned just recently is they were not a creation of the Vatican but were independently created (Where, When and by Who?) and sort of volunteered themselves as the Popes protectors. I havent even read their oaths. But youve set me into research mode Ill have to get back to you on this one, some digging required before we can talk sensibly about it. No worries buddy. One thing I can confirm is that the pope himself is a fully blown jesuit. So is Tony Abbott lol. They are a cruel bunch for sure; as you will see after reading the oaths which they must live and die for Whoops, Hold on, this is waiting to be approved by selfnews Post. I had a post taken down too? Looks like their both up now my net connection has been down all day, it just came back so Im really behind, catching up slowly though I CAN SAY ONE THING THAT THANK GOD POPE FRANCIS IS A JESUIT??.. IF?? INDEED?? BECAUSE WE WANT AND NEED THE MASONS OUTED!! GREEDY BASTARDS! AND ULTIMATELY THEY WILL NEVER SEIZE FULL CONTROL FROM THE CORE JESUITS! I think the masons and the Jesuits are just different faces of the same beast. hey sorry/// caps No worries mate They are the Santa Sede. Please tell me more Im curious. THE JESUITS ARE THE CODE KEEPERS, CODE WRITERS AND CODE ENFORCERS! OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL LAWS WITHIN THE CHURCH AND OUTSIDE THE CHURCH AND FOR THE RULING OF THE MASSES OF HUMANITY! HEY GUYS YES THE JESUITS SUCK AND THEY HOLD THE KEYS! TO THE DOOR OF THE HOLY SEE AND HER CHURCH AND ALL! WELL THE OLD TESTAMENT WAS RE-WRITTEN TO SUIT THE POLITICAL MOVEMENTS OF THE TIMES THEY WERE USED IN TO FOR TELL THE CURRENT CRISIS AND READ THE FUTURE AND PENDING FUTURE. AS WITH ALL ANCIENT TEXT BOOKS THEY MUST BE READ AND COMPREHENDED UNDER THE TIMES THEY WERE REFERENCED TOO. SEE HISTORY BOOKS PURGED AND RE-WRITTEN TODAY IN THE SAME MANNER AND FASHION AS HISTORIANS DID LONG AGO! TO KEEP THEIR HEADS ON AND INFLUENCE OVER THE KINGS AND HIGH COURTS AND IN FAVOR WITH THE HIGH PRIEST!! Very true, Paris! Good post. You nailed it right there I agree the old tesament was thrown out by Yashua himself. But most of your lost morons in the chief still believe the garbage spewed in the Old Testament. If god is the same today and the same tomorrow and never changes then why did he want us to kill innocent animals in worship of him in the Old Testament but in the New Testament he does not???? Use your brains people, for more than a hat rack. The Old Testament says god is a jealous god, vengeful god..really???? A perfect mind with flawed human atributes, do you people really believe that garbage???? Did you see my post where I said that apparently wanted human sacrifices too? He specified male first born babies. The members of the UN Security Council have their commonality and criminality rooted in the fact that they are all gun runners who owe a debt to the central banking system. ty for this article and I appreciate the commenters. Not any real people believe the MSM it is all nwo all the time. Withdrawal is always defeated by the US withdrawing from Vjetnam etc. Just a bit of feedback youre making no sense Zina. At least I cant extract your meaning. I suspect that Putin is doing a sort of Aikido move, expecting an attack he decided to be not there to attack, thus throwing his opponents off balance. Putin has way too much KGB in him still At the snap of his fingers he could draw up a million conscripts in a day, send them to syria in a week, have them kill everything like the plague, then bring them home after a month But he likes to play mind games Too much KGB In the days after the withdraw of Russians, in Europe we start listening in the news that same song about terrosits here, terrosists there, that have me thinking if the west is looking for an excuse of a new attack. In Turkey too, things looking much the same. Putin has to know that since he didnt kill all the cockroaches, when he pulls back, that will embolden all the supporters from the west, turkey and so on. Why hand over all your work of advancement? NO MORE VILE THAN A THE MASONIC RITUALS! REALLY! THE CATHOLICS ARE JUST A BIT MORE BLOOD CURDLING! AND DRAMATIC!! FILLED WITH PASSIONATE ADORATIONS AND RITUALS ! LOVE THAT DRAMA!! AND DOGMA!! HAND IN HAND WELL RULE THE WORLD! THE PRIESTS GO FORTH! FOR CONVERSION AND CONVOCATION! HEY BRETT I LIKED YOUR SYNOPSIS OS THE RC CHURCH! YEAH I LIVED IT TOO. YEARS AT SCHOOLS WITH THE NUNS! I WAS RAISED RC AND MY DAD WHEN TO JESUITS SCHOOL FROM 1st GRADE TO COLLEGE GRAD. HE USED TO GIVE US MANY DISSERTATIONS EVERY NIGHT AT THE DINNING TABLE WALKING UP AND DOWN! PREACHING PROPERLYIF THERE IS ONE THING I KNOW ABOUT ITS THE JESUITS! So what do you think now, Johno? Well done, buddy. I listened to a 3 hour talk on this one night not so long ago. I was horrified. You will find a connection with the sexual corrupting of children as one of their favoured pastimes as they believe it elevates them to a higher place. Its a form of worship! So Tony Abbott puts them in all our schools? Beware people and trust NO ONE! Thanks Johno Again my post is being moderated Ok mate. Are we on a out of bounds subject lol? Beats me, it makes no sense to me But at least they get posted eventually. Western corporate media has been on fire with speculation that Russia is 
2	You Wont Believe The Head Injuries Officer Wilson Suffered After Being Attacked By Mike Brown As debate and uncertainty rages on over the shooting and death of 18-year-old Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson, evidence continues to arise that points to a reasonable argument for self defense. According to new medical evidence, Brown must likely attacked the officer with a solid enough force to cause an orbital blowout fracture to the eye socket. The information was revealed in a cat scan of Wilsons head. Although the liberal media and friends of Brown have painted him as an innocent victim in the situation, a source from the District Attorneys office claims that the teenager did attack Wilson. What do you think? Will he be relieved of charges? 
2	Obama Supporter Gives Cop Attitude, Receives Immediate Justice [VIDEO] A new 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 its 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? 
3	New Counterterrorism Database Rules Threaten Privacy of Every AmericanTrevor Timm As EFF first warned months ago, despite the terrorism justification, the new rules affect every single American. The Journal explained: Now, NCTC can copy entire government databasesflight records, casino-employee lists, the names of Americans hosting foreign-exchange students and many others. The agency has new authority to keep data about innocent U.S. citizens for up to five years, and to analyze it for suspicious patterns of behavior. Previously, both were prohibited. Data about Americans reasonably believed to constitute terrorism information may be permanently retained. Journalist Marcy Wheeler summed the new guidelines up nicely in March, saying, Sothe data the government keeps to track our travel, our taxes, our benefits, our identity? It just got transformed from bureaucratic data into national security intelligence. Ironically, this civil liberties debacle apparently was a response to the attempted 2009 Christmas underwear bombing by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. As the ACLU observed, however, Abdulmutallab wasnt a U.S. citizen, and collecting information on him wasnt a problem. Instead, his own father had identified him to the U.S. government as a potential terrorist. In short, an attack by a known foreign terror suspect was used to justify changes to rules about collecting information on U.S. citizens. As Mary Ellen Callahan, the chief privacy officer of the Department of Homeland Securityunsuccessfully argued at the time, This is a sea change in the way that the government interacts with the general public. Another former senior White House official called the program breathtaking in scope. According to the Journals investigation, the debate over the programs potential privacy violations sparked a heated and testy debate in the Justice Department, Department of Homeland Security, and the White House. A DHS lawyer complained via email that the advocates of the program were providing complete non-sequiturs and non-responsive examples. Ultimately, privacy lost. Of course, its unclear whether the data-mining operation even works: At the Department of Justice, Chief Privacy Officer Nancy Libin raised concerns about whether the guidelines could unfairly target innocent people, these people said. Some research suggests that, statistically speaking, there are too few terror attacks for predictive patterns to emerge. The risk, then, is that innocent behavior gets misunderstoodsay, a man buying chemicals (for a childs science fair) and a timer (for the sprinkler) sets off false alarms. Just like EFF did in March, the Journal compared the new NCTC program to the notorious Total Information Awareness surveillance program proposed by Admiral John Poindexter in 2002. As the New York Times explained, Poindexter proposed fusing vast archives of electronic records like travel records, credit card transactions, phone calls and more and searching for patterns of a hidden terrorist cell. Congress was so alarmed by the potential invasion to innocent Americans privacy that they defunded it in 2003. What the Journal did not mention, however, is that even the NCTCs best-known databasethe Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment, or TIDEis already fraught with problems. TIDE contains more than 500,000 identities suspected of terror links, explained the Journal. TIDE files are important because they are used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to compile terrorist watchlists. But according to an unusually blunt Senate investigation of so-called fusion centers released last month, the TIDE database is also full of information of innocent people that have nothing to do with terrorism. The report gave examples of: a TIDE profile of a person whom the FBI had already cleared of any connection to terrorism, a TIDE profile of a two-year old-boy, and even a TIDE profile of Ford Motor Company. Indeed, the data-mining expansion seems like a horrible, self-fulfilling prophecy. As the Journal noted, the underwear bomber incident led President Obama to order agencies to send all their leads to NCTC, and to order NCTC to pursue thoroughly and exhaustively terrorism threat threads. Predictably, NCTC was flooded with terror tips, creating a huge backlog that NCTC couldnt process within the original time limits. NCTC then predictably sought to retain more data longer. Congress needs to stop this vicious cycle. It should investigate the new NCTC guidelines and the governments overall data-collection and data-mining practices. And it should take a look at closing loopholes in the Privacy Act, too. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	Turkey: Bombing Its Way to a Better NarrativeBy Tony Cartalucci The Guardian would report in its article, Deadly Istanbul blast caused by Isis suicide bomber, that: We have determined that the perpetrator of the attack is a foreigner who is a member of Daesh, prime minister Ahmet Davutolu said, using an Arabic acronym for Isis. Turkey wont backtrack in its struggle against Daesh by even one step This terror organisation, the assailants and all of their connections will be found and they will receive the punishments they deserve. However, an overabundance of evidence during the past several years indicates that ISIS is in fact both an intentional creation and continuous perpetuation of foreign state-sponsors of terrorism, including Turkey itself. Implicating Turkey as one of ISIS primary patrons is not done through mere insinuation or by referencing one or two obscure references. It starts with its closest allies among the NATO alliance it is a member of, and continues month after month, year after year, report after report from media organizations covering the conflict in Syria from every conceivable angle, both favorable and unfavorable for Ankara. As early as 2012, a Department of Intelligence Agency (DIA) document (.pdf) admitted in regards to the Syrian conflict 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) is clearly when it was decided to transform US, Saudi, and Turkish-backed Al Qaeda affiliates into ISIS. To clarify just who these supporting powers were, mentioned in the document who sought the creation of a Salafist principality, the DIA report explains (emphasis added): The West, Gulf countries, and Turkey support the opposition; while Russia, China, and Iran support the regime. While the US and Saudi Arabias role in the creation of Al Qaeda in the 1980s is well known, and at least Saudi Arabias continued state-sponsorship of terrorism including Al Qaeda and ISIS is relatively well known, what evidence is there that Turkey has been involved in directly supporting terrorism in Syria, and specifically, supporting ISIS itself? It was also in 2012, that it would be admitted that the US, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia were supplying hundreds of tons of weapons, through Turkey with the aid of US intelligence agents along the border, to militants fighting in neighboring Syria. Logistical pipelines were created north of Aleppo and northeast of the commercially and culturally important city. The New York Times in their 2013 article, Arms Airlift to Syria Rebels Expands, With Aid From C.I.A., would admit: With help from the C.I.A., Arab governments and Turkey have sharply increased their military aid to Syrias opposition fighters in recent months, expanding a secret airlift of arms and equipment for the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad, according to air traffic data, interviews with officials in several countries and the accounts of rebel commanders. The airlift, which began on a small scale in early 2012 and continued intermittently through last fall, expanded into a steady and much heavier flow late last year, the data shows. It has grown to include more than 160 military cargo flights by Jordanian, Saudi and Qatari military-style cargo planes landing at Esenboga Airport near Ankara, and, to a lesser degree, at other Turkish and Jordanian airports. These logistical pipelines, over time, would morph into ISIS primary logistical corridors until first the Kurds cut them off to the northeast, and now Russian and Syrian forces are cutting them off to the north. The Guardian, in an astonishingly titled June 2015 article, Kurdish forces seize border town of Tal Abyad, cutting off key Isis supply line, inadvertently admitted that the summation of ISIS supplies were originating in NATO-member Turkeys territory, not from anywhere within Syria. It admitted that: Kurdish fighters have taken control of the border town of Tal Abyad, dealing a significant blow to Islamic States ability to wage war in Syria by cutting off a supply line to its self-proclaimed capital of Raqqa. It also reported that: The takeover of the town marks the biggest setback yet for Isis and puts even more pressure on Raqqa by depriving the group of a direct route for bringing in foreign fighters and supplies, as well as linking the Kurds two fronts,. The Guardian never makes it entirely clear just how Raqqa in Syria was now suddenly cut off from its supply lines because of the takeover of Tal Abyad. A look at a map shows that Tal Abyad is literally on the Turkish-Syrian leaving Turkey as the only possible source of ISIS supply lines. The Guardian never explains this, possibly in hopes that its readers are disinterested or incapable of reading maps, because it would reveal that Turkey, a US and British ally, a NATO member since the 1950s, and allegedly a partner in the Wests War on Terror, was aiding and abetting, and in fact, serving as the primary source of ISIS fighting capacity while simultaneously feigning to fight the terrorist organization. To understand the scale of Turkeys support for ISIS, consider Germanys international broadcaster Deutsche Welles (DW) 2014 report, IS supply channels through Turkey. It exposes fleets of hundreds of trucks a day, passing unchallenged through Turkeys border crossings with Syria, clearly bound for the defacto ISIS capital of Raqqa. DW reported that: Every day, trucks laden with food, clothing, and other supplies cross the border from Turkey to Syria. It is unclear who is picking up the goods. The haulers believe most of the cargo is going to the Islamic State militia. Oil, weapons, and soldiers are also being smuggled over the border, and Kurdish volunteers are now patrolling the area in a bid to stem the supplies. Despite the report in 2014, and the obvious setback reported by the Western media when Kurds finally closed down at least one of two major ISIS supply corridors originating in Turkey in 2015, the Western media has still attempted to portray Turkey as at war with ISIS, rather than one of its primary state-sponsors. It is perhaps this need to portray Turkey at war with ISIS that leads us back to the deadly attack in Istanbul and other recent bombings like it attributed to ISIS. If ISIS appears to be carrying out terrorist attacks in Turkey Ankara, Washington, and Wall Street reason few will suspect Turkey is in fact one of the primary state-sponsors perpetuating ISIS continued existence in Syria. If anyone questions Turkeys willingness to self-inflict egregious terrorist attacks upon its own people within its own borders, one needs only study NATOs extensive, decades-long operation of its various stay behind networks including Turkeys Grey Wolves terrorist organization that killed thousands in political violence and terrorism both within Turkeys borders and well beyond them. To this day, the Grey Wolves remain engaged in violence, having attacked very publicly the Thai consulate in Istanbul, and having been linked to both terrorism in Chinas Xinjiang region as well as having been implicated in a 2015 blast that rocked Bangkok and killed 20 people. Considering the hundreds of supply trucks a day departing Turkey, bound for ISIS de facto capital in Raqqa, and fleets of tankers filled with looted Syrian oil entering back into Turkey forming the cornerstone of ISIS logistical and financial networks, it is clear that if Raqqa is the heart of ISIS, Turkeys role in running ISIS logistics serves as the arteries feeding that heart with the blood it needs to continue beating. If Turkey is blaming ISIS for the recent attack in Istanbul, then it is clear that it is in turn implicating itself. When asking why it would do that, the simplest answer stands to reason because if people believe ISIS is attacking Turkey, they are less likely to believe Turkey is in fact backing ISIS. And as long as this charade can continue convincingly, that backing can continue until the goal of destroying Syria is achieved. Tony Cartalucci, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook. Its frigging obvious.. Turkey is hip deep in criminality of supporting ISIS with arms, supplies and financing them by buying stolen Syrian oil that the western think tank gurus/demons probably came up with this cartoonish scam of..they cant be supporting ISIS, because ISIS is bombing them. Erdogan probably bombs his enemies with these false flag events, while blaming ISIS. The F_ck bags in the think tanks probably think they are so smart coming up with a plan to kill two birds with one false flag I am so sick of the mentally ill dirtbag psychopaths running everything and no GOOD men standing up and at least fighting them. Im convinced that there arent any men left in leadership positions in our military. Oh, sure there are humans with penises..but that doesnt make you a man..no..true men defend the weak and protect the innocent.. The men in our militarys leadership only protect their call girls, drugs and paychecks.. I certainly dont need any religious books or sooth Sayer to tell me I live in a fallen Realmit self apparent! 
1	Michelle Haltigan, a highly successful advertising executive known throughout the San Diego area for her striking physical attributes, will continue to get by on looks for six more years, it was reported Monday. San Diego-area advertising executive Michelle Haltigan, who has until the year 2004 to coast on her appearance. Sources report that the 23-year-old Huntington Beach native will be able to coast effortlessly until late 2004, when her appearance will no longer be sufficient to guarantee preferential treatment in her professional and personal life. Haltigan, recently chosen for promotion at H. William Gordon Advertising over a number of more qualified, less luminous co-workers, enjoys a wide range of unspoken societal prettiness privileges. She receives free flowers from street-cart vendors, is allowed to skip ahead in line for the Stairmaster at her apartment complex's mini-gym, and gets priority scheduling from tanning-salon personnel throughout the San Diego area. At booked restaurants, she is always quickly seated and attended to, and when pulled over for speeding, her chances of being let off with just a warning are 17 times greater than the average person's. As a result of her attractiveness, Haltigan also enjoys greatly enhanced discretionary powers in interpersonal relationships. Able to choose from a nearly endless list of suitors, she always operates from a position of strength in dating scenarios, rarely finding her desires challenged or denied by would-be sexual partners. When faced with resistance, Haltigan is able to persuade partners to relent by pouting her lower lip slightly and saying, 'Pretty please?' in a childlike, flirtatiously wheedling tone. Haltigan, whose looks have made it unnecessary for her to cultivate attractive personality traits, is reportedly unconcerned about the finite nature of her powers. When asked for comment on the rapidly closing six-year beauty-privilege window, she simply flashed what witnesses described as a 'dazzling' smile, displaying her perfect, professionally whitened teeth. 'I think I'll go skiing in Taos this weekend with Andre or Michael, or maybe Ethan if he's back from Europe,' Haltigan told reporters. 'By the way, how do you like this new sweater I bought?' Experts say the state of denial in which Haltigan lives is easy for her to preserve, primarily due to the nonverbal affirmations she receives daily, a form of tacit approval that fosters her illusory faith in the permanence of her esteemed status in the eyes of others. 'I'm sure in the back of her mind, on some subconscious level, she must know that time is ticking away,' said noted psychotherapist Dr. Eli Wasserbaum. 'But, for the most part, the many perks that come with being beautiful block out any real awareness she might have. One can understand how this process works when one considers how unbelievably good-looking she is at the present time.' 'I even asked her out myself once,' Wasserbaum said, 'but she said that, unfortunately, she was too busy that weekend to attend the symposium.' As a busy advertising executive, Haltigan's duties include taking clients to lunch, attending departmental presentations, networking with other executives, and taking clients to dinner. Other professional obligations include twice-weekly hair appointments, mud-bath skin treatments and sessions with her personal trainer. 'In my job, I have to look good,' Haltigan said. 'Projecting the right professional image is crucial to winning the client's confidence and trust.' Haltigan's commitment to success has earned her the admiration of her coworkers. 'We all love Michelle here at Gordon Advertising,' said company president Donald Gehry, 59. 'There's a certain quality about Michelle that enables her to just light up a meeting. She's got that certain 'presence' necessary to be a big success in the advertising game.' According to experts, shortly after turning 29, Haltigan will begin her descent into shrewish bitterness, suffering a string of humiliating failed relationships, unemployment and, ultimately, a free-fall into neurotic self-loathing and cocaine addiction sometime around 2007. But despite the looming threat of her inevitable loss of beauty and influence, Haltigan remains nonchalant about the future. 'I don't really have time to worry about what might happen down the road, because I've got real-world goals I'm committed to making happen today,' Haltigan said. 'The fast-paced world of advertising is all about living in the now.' 'I'm always on the go, making sure I get the most out of life, pushing myself to be everything I can be,' Haltigan continued before pausing briefly to toss her hair over her shoulder, adding, 'but if you call me next week, I might be free.' 
1	SAN FRANCISCO49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, who has worked with such receiving greats as Tim Brown, Marvin Harrison, and Jerry Rice over the course of his career, found reason to praise his current top pass-catcher last week when he claimed Michael Crabtree has 'far and away the most mouth-watering and lickable hands' of any receiver playing today or any he has ever coached. 'Larry Fitzgerald's hands are soft and Calvin Johnson's are strong, to be sure, but Michael's are the perfect balance of sweet and savory,' Harbaugh said Friday during an interview on Bay Area sports radio station KNBR-680, adding that their unique tang was a major reason Crabtree caught 72 passes in the 2011 season. 'They're pretty big, too, so you have to be careful you don't gag on them.' When host Kevin Lynch asked, after an extended pause, if Harbaugh was satisfied with the way Crabtree's footwork had improved over his career, Harbaugh refused comment, saying only 'feet are gross.' 
2	80,000 Colorado Citizens Just Lost Their Healthcare After Obama Did THIS It has become all too apparent that Obamacare is a complete failure. The plan has failed to meet almost every target and expectation it had set. This year, 80,000 Colorado citizens will lose their health insurance. Colorados largest health insurer, Colorado HealthOP, is shutting down, forcing 80,000 people out of their insurance. The insurance company had relied on federal support, and it has recently been announced that the Obama is cutting the funding to them. How can Obama create a program like this, which so many people were against, and fail to give it the proper support to work? This program has fallen flat on Obamas face, just as the rest of his initiatives have. Do you think Obama should be impeached for trying to tear apart America? 
3	Hillary Clinton Calls To Rein In Gun CultureBrandon Turbeville Unfortunately, this is what makes her recent comments at the annual conference of the National Council for Behavioral Health even more concerning. Long known for her aggressive assault on the Second Amendment, Clinton told the audience that the United States must rein in its gun culture or the country could end up being a place where even insignificant confrontations lead to shootings. When asked about the mental health aspect of guns in a QA session, Clinton responded that We really have got to get our arms around it because at the rate we are going, we are going to have so many people with guns everywhere fully licensed, fully validated. Of course, one might logically ask who is the we that Clinton is referring to. For oligarchs like Hillary, a population with guns everywhere is indeed a frightening prospect since these individuals are generally harder to dominate than those that have been completely neutered and disarmed. Clinton also stated that I think weve got to rein in what has become a almost article faith that anybody can have a gun, anywhere, anytime. I dont believe that is in the best interest of the vast majority of people. Clinton also stated that we are living at a time when there is so much external stimulation and so much internal confusion in certain people, [it would be a bad idea to let them] go to bars with guns, let them go to schools with guns, let them go to church with guns. Despite that Clinton has fingered the external stimulation and internal confusion as the culprit of such discord, her answer is to violate their inalienable rights instead of addressing that external stimulation and internal confusion. Indeed, the internal confusion of which she speaks might have more to do with her friends in the culture industry as well as she and her husbands economic policies that have gutted the United States of its jobs. But I digress Although Clinton laughably suggested that she still supports the right of the people to own guns, she continued to attack the very idea. As CNN writes, Referencing a shooting earlier this year where a 71-year old retired police officer shot a 43-year old man texting in a movie theater, Clinton said people thinking they have the right to defend themselves against the gum chewer and the cell phone user by shooting the person is reminiscent of countries she visited with no rule of law and self control.' Perhaps Clinton is reminiscing about her journey several years ago where she remembered dodging sniper bullets (dangerous gun owners!) that turned out to never have existed in the first place. Or, perhaps Hitlery is truly concerned with keeping the mentally ill from having easy access to firearms. Perhaps she is more concerned with the possibility that an actual psychopath may have access to enough firepower to cause serious damage. The thought that a person who is capable of watching a 70-year-old Libyan be beaten within an inch of his life, sodomized by a bayonet, and then shot to death before cackling uncontrollably about the murder while stating that We came. We saw. He died. is truly frightening indeed. In the end, the best and most effective guard against psychopaths with weapons is the refusal to allow Hillary Clinton the office of the Presidency.

2	What Michelle Obama Thinks You Should Do Instead Of Attending Church Michelle Obama was a guest on the set of the LIVE with Kelly and Michael show where she extolled the virtues of Obamacare before the millions of people who have lost the coverage they were promised they could keep. All politics aside though, the first lady explained what the family does on Sundays. For starters, it isnt church attendance. Until this past Easter Sunday, they hadnt attended religious services for seven months. Mrs. Obama explained that Sundays are a literal day of rest for the Obamas. They try and take naps if they do not have to work. Preferably, they enjoy the Truman balcony of the White House for their downtime. She explained that as the girls get older, it is harder to spend time together. Sundays becomes that special day for them. She said that if they are not going to church, which clearly they do not do as a matter of habit, they use the time to unwind together. Some may criticize the family for a lack of religious commitment. However, on some level it makes sense. If their objective is to bond together as a family, they are doing exactly that as opposed to hearing a preacher explain to them the benefits of family unity. 
3	Decriminalize Drug Possession, UK Experts SayPhillip Smith The report, A Fresh Approach to Drugs, found that the UK is wasting much of the $4.8 billion a year it spends fighting illegal drugs and that the annual cost to the country of hard drug use was about $20 billion. A smarter set of drug policies emphasizing prevention, diversion, and treatment would be a more effective use of public resources, the report found. Some 42,000 people in the UK are convicted each year of drug possession offenses and another 160,000 given citations for marijuana possession. Arresting, citing, and jailing all those people amounts to a lot of time and money for police, prosecution, and courts, the report said. To address these costs, there is evidence to suggest that the law on the possession of small amounts of controlled drugs, for personal use only, could be changed so that it is no longer a criminal offence. Criminal sanctions could be replaced with simple civil penalties, such as a fine, perhaps a referral to a drug awareness session run by a public health body, or if there was a demonstrable need, to a drug treatment program. The evidence from other countries that have done this is that it would not necessarily lead to any significant increase in use, while providing opportunities to address some of the harms associated with existing drug laws, the report recommended. Given its relatively low level of harm, its wide usage, and international developments, the obvious drug to focus on as a first step is cannabis, which is already subject to lesser sanctions than previously with the use of cannabis warnings. If evaluations indicated that there were no substantial negative consequences, similar incremental measures could be considered, with caution and careful further evaluation, for other drugs, the report said. We do not believe that there is sufficient evidence at the moment to support the case for removing criminal penalties for the major production or supply offences of most drugs, it said. Still, policy makers might want to consider lowering the penalties for growing small numbers of marijuana plants to undermine the commercialization of production, with the associated involvement of organized crime. The report also called for a review of harsh sentences for drug offenses, a consistent framework for regulating all psychoactive substancesfrom nicotine to heroinand for moving the policy prism through which drug policy is enacted from the criminal justice system to the public health system. But the Home Office, which currently administers drug policy in Britain, wasnt having any of it. Things are going swimmingly already, a Home Office spokesperson said. While the government welcomes the UKDPCs contribution to the drugs debate, we remain confident that our ambitious approach to tackling drugs outlined in our drugs strategy is the right one, the spokesperson said. Drug usage is at it lowest level since records began. Drug treatment completions are increasing and individuals are now significantly better placed to achieve recovery and live their lives free from drugs.I want to take this opportunity to thank the UKDPC for its work in this area over the past six years. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	PASADENA, CAA mere two weeks into the New Year, already what will undoubtedly be the biggest story of the year will have taken place: the upcoming Jan. 14 landing of the Huygens space probe on Titan, Saturn's immense moon. 'The probe could impart invaluable clues about the evolution of our own planet, as Titan is the only moon in our solar system with a fully developed atmosphere,' Jet Propulsion Laboratory spokesperson Dr. Gregory Bloom said. 'Meanwhile, the Cassini orbiter will continue to photograph Saturn's other moons throughout the year, delivering what will assuredly be dazzling views, and possibly revealing more lunar atmospheres, or even new moons. It's exhilarating to be living in these incredible times.' Asked whether the spacecraft's four-year tour of the Saturnian system might tell us more about how Saturn's rings were formed, Bloom became coy, saying, 'You'll just have to wait until May, when Cassini will begin using radio occultation to estimate the size-distribution of ring particles.' 
3	False Flag Attacks in Syria Pin Atrocities on Assad and Justify Red Line EngagementBrandon Turbeville This is because the chemical attack was not the work of the Assad regime but of the death squads who have been killing and maiming innocent people for close to two years. Although the Western and Israeli imperialists are clearly always poised to take advantage of a false flag attack such as the use of a chemical weapon by the inappropriately named rebels to immediately be blamed on Assad, the openness with which the death squads have advertised their possession of and intent to use such weapons has proved to be a major hurdle in the attempt to create a successful campaign of public outcry against the Assad government. In short, the false narrative of Assads use of chemical weapons against his own people is so easily dispelled that the public relations push seems to have stalled, even if only for a brief time. 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. For instance, in November, 2011, it was reported in The Telegraph that the transitional government of terrorists, Muslim Brotherhood, and NATO puppets in Libya were offering to send money, personnel (aka terrorists and mercenaries), and weapons to the death squads operating in Syria. It was largely understood, at least after the initial announcement of the weapons deal, that the weapons in question included chemical weapons. Later, in June of 2012, it was reported by Russia Today that these weapons had indeed found themselves into the hands of the death squads by virtue of their Libyan counterparts now acting as head of the failed Libyan State. RT stated that, They allegedly plan to use it against civilians and pin the atrocity on the Bashar al-Assad regime. Thus, it should be noted that the London Guardian reported that the Libya possessed 25 metric tonnes of bulk mustard agent and 1,400 metric tonnes of precursor chemical used to make chemical weapons. It was also reported in August of 2012 that the death squads had managed to capture a missile site belonging to the Syrian army which contained chemical weapons. The death squads erroneously claimed that the reason for attacking the site was to prevent the Assad government from using the weapons against members of the opposition. Regardless, one does not have to speculate very much as to the possibilities available here in June, the death squads gain access to chemical weapons. In August, they gain access to a delivery mechanism in the form of missiles. It is just such a coincidence that should cause one to examine another event which occurred shortly before the assault on the missile site. In July 2012, Tony Cartalucci of LandDestroyerReport, described reports of so-called Free Syrian Army militants seen trying on gas masks, along with reports of Libyan chemical weapon caches equipment being discovered in Damascus. Together with the acquisition of the missile delivery capability by virtue of the conquering of the Syrian missile site and the possession of the chemical weapons themselves via Libya, the acquisition of gas masks points to the preparation for the launch of an actual chemical attack, or at least the possibility of it, on the part of the death squads. As one of the death squad members stated to Reuters in April, 2012, The rebels are getting better at bomb-making; as you know, desperation is the mother of invention. Reuters also commented that the death squads were now able to develop more sophisticated bombs due to rare outside donations although Reuters did not attempt to name those mysterious sources. Moving forward to August 2012, a false flag plot was discovered which had been hatched between NATO and Saudi Arabia that would have staged a chemical weapons deployment in Syria either by mercenary firms or by the NATO-backed death squads, an attack that would subsequently have been blamed on the Assad government, thus serving as a pretext for NATO intervention and the creation of a buffer zone in the country. According to Paul Joseph Watson, the source reporting the impending attack stated to Syrian news channel Addounia that a Saudi Arabian firm had fitted 1400 ambulance vehicles with anti-gas anti-chemical filtering systems at a cost of $97,000 dollars each, in preparation for a chemical weapons attack carried out by FSA rebels using mortar rounds. A further 400 vehicles have been prepared as troop carriers. Interestingly enough, the attack was set to make use of white phosphorous, sarin and mustard gas. It then stands as yet another questionable coincidence that, among the weapons possessed by the Libyan regime and now in the hands of the death squads, was large quantities of bulk mustard agent. Nevertheless, the potential false flag attack reported by Addounia was set to be launched on densely populated areas, most likely Daraa, a city on the Syria/Jordan border, after which the newly fitted ambulances would pour into Syria under the guise of humanitarian aid. Although painted with the labels, Syrian Peoples Relief, the ambulances would actually be nothing more than armored personnel carriers designed to capitalize on a manufactured disaster for the purpose of deploying such personnel in order to create the desired buffer zone. Furthermore, the same company that manufactured and fitted the ambulances to be used in the attack is one that is based in Riyadh and was negotiating a contract with the Yemeni government for the manufacture of military vehicles for the Yemeni army. A source also reported that a meeting had taken place between the head of Al Arabiya, the Saudi news channel, and a U.S. diplomat at the U.S. Embassy in the United Arab Emirates. As Paul Joseph Watson writes, The purpose of the meeting was to agree upon a conditioning program to prepare the public for the likelihood that Bashar Al-Assads forces would use chemical weapons. Shortly after the meeting, Al Arabiya began running news segments depicting the inevitability of a chemical weapons attack carried out by Assads forces. Of course, it was around this same time period that discussions of a red line by the French and American Presidents as well as the U.S. State Department and Israeli representatives began their repetition in the mainstream media circles and hence the American public at large. For instance, in August, President Barack Obama warned that not only the use but merely the transportation of chemical weapons would constitute a red line that would result in military intervention. French President Hollandealso stated at the time that the use of chemical weapons Would be a legitimate reason for direct intervention. Likewise, Watson writes, Israels Vice Premier Silvan Shalom told media outlets that if Syrian rebels obtained chemical weapons from stockpiles belonging to the Assad regime, such a development would force Israel to resort to preventive operations, in other words a military strike on Syria. The creation of a buffer zone inside Syria is also interesting in its own right, not just because of the necessary loss of legitimate territory close to Syrias borders but also because of its inherent nature of destabilization and weakening of the ruling regime in Damascus. Thus, it is interesting to note that, while the false flag chemical attack and the subsequent creation of a buffer zone was designed to use the pretext of humanitarian aid as mentioned above, such a plan follows the roadmap provided by the Brookings Institution in a paper entitled Saving Syria: Assessing Options for Regime Change, published in March 2012. The paper essentially argued for the use of a humanitarian issue in order to engage in military intervention on the part of NATO in Syria. Indeed, the paper states, An alternative is for diplomatic efforts to focus first on how to end the violence and how to gain humanitarian access, as is being done under Annans leadership. This may lead to the creation of safe-havens and humanitarian-corridors, which would have to be backed by limited military power. Yet one does not have to go any further afield in order to understand that the plan to stage false flag chemical weapons attack inside Syria in order to see the mass of evidence supporting such a claim. In December 2012, a video was obtained by the Syria Tribune and subsequently released in their report and posted on YouTube which allegedly shows the NATO-backed death squads testing chemical weapons on lab rabbits. As the Syria Tribune describes the video, The Syria Tribune also comments that Judging from the rabbits reaction, the gas must be a nerve agent. The number of containers, if not a bluff, indicates ability to produce a considerable amount of this gas. Deployment could be by means of a smoke generator placed in the target area, an explosion, possibly a suicide one, of a chemmed car, or simply by using a humidifier. In March, 2013, yet another YouTube video was released which contained a clip of a second test of chemical weapons on captive rabbits by the death squads. This is quite an ironic presentation, since the Assad government has repeatedly vowed never to use chemical weapons inside Syria, while the death squads have repeatedly threatened to do just that. Indeed, in direct contrast to the tone and statements of the death squads, the Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi issued a statement several months ago saying, No chemical or biological weapons will ever be used, and I repeat, will never be used, during the crisis in Syria no matter what the developments inside Syria. Still, the drums of war and military intervention from the United States, NATO, and Israel nevertheless continue to relentlessly beat. Regardless, the video mentioned above also contains an alleged audio recording of a phone conversation between two Free Syrian Army fighters discussing the details of a plan to carry out a chemical weapons attack capable of impacting an area the size of one kilometer. As Paul Joseph Watson writes, The video also contains a clip of the death squads openly announcing their plans to engage in chemical weapons attacks, all the while surrounded by bottles of nitric acid and other substances. Again, back in December of 2012, after the death squads managed to capture a chlorine factory inside Syria, the Syrian government actually issued a warning that the death squads might attempt to use chemical weapons of this nature in their battle to overthrow and oppress the government and people of Syria respectively. The Syrian Foreign Ministry stated, Terrorist groups may resort to using chemical weapons against the Syrian people after having gained control of a toxic chlorine factory. Thus, with the most recent chemical weapon attack which has caused both a frothing and bumbling public relations response from the Anglo-Americans, it is interesting to note that chlorine has been fingered as being one of the major ingredients. As Alex Thomson of The Telegraph reported, Reports by the Syrian government coincide with the accounts given by the victims of the chemical weapons attack which one can view in the video clip contained in the YouTube video mentioned above. (See here) It is also important to note that many of the victims allegedly name the Free Syrian Army and the rebels as the perpetrators as they are being interviewed while waiting for medical treatment. The Free Syrian Army hit us with a rocket, one woman said. We smelled an odor and everyone fell to the ground. People died where they fell . . . the kids . . . A young girl was also interviewed, who said, My lungs closed and I couldnt breathe or speak. God curse them. Everyone died on the ground. My mom and dad died. I dont know where is my brother. God curse them. May they [FSA] all die. This is the freedom they bring us. They [FSA] want to kill everyone. I hope there remains not a single one of them [FSA] alive. Let us not forget that the death squads have been responsible for unspeakable atrocities against innocent people ever since the destabilization effort began. Last October, 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. Such open acts of terrorism, lack of regard for human life, and outright savagery on the part of the death squads have thus made even coordinated Western media propaganda campaigns rest on shakier ground. Unfortunately, we must never overestimate the intellectual prowess of the population of the television and entertainment-saturated Western populations. After all, it has failed on countless occasions in the past. Thus, while Obama has himself been forced to approach the Syrian issue with more caution, both he and the War Hawks in Congress as well as their counterparts in the Anglo-American networks of imperialism are still marching forward on the war path. Obama himself is refusing to admit the fact that the death squads are responsible for the chemical attack. Last week, he stated, I am deeply skeptical of any claim that, in fact, it was the opposition that used chemical weapons. Everybody who knows the facts of the chemical weapon stockpiles inside Syria as well as the Syrian governments capabilities I think would question these claims. This statement is clearly designed to act as some level of protection for the operations of destabilization and invasion that his undeserved and illogical reputation as a man of peace in the eyes of the American people has been instrumental in assisting. Others, however, are even less subtle about the desire to invade yet another sovereign nation. House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Rogers, for instance, recently stated as much to CBS when he said, I think that it is abundantly clear that that red line has been crossed. There is mounting evidence that it is probable that the Assad regime has used at least a small quantity of chemical weapons during the course of this conflict. Such there might be evidence that [insert foreign nation here] might have [insert weapons here] sometime in the undefined future has been used before to a great degree of success. However, regardless of the insanity of bought-and-paid-for parasites such as Rogers and Obama, the fact is that anyone who has investigated the events transpiring in Syria, particularly the recent chemical weapons attack, is able to recognize the operation for what it is a destabilization effort aimed at replacing the Assad government with a more manageable regime to the benefit of the Anglo-American establishment and the detriment of the Syrian people. Such an outcome is direct product of the work of Western Governments and Intelligence agencies, the NATO world army network, and the Mad Dog of the Middle East known as Israel. In the end, Syria is simply another stop on the Path to Persia. If Americans and other Westerners have any sense of self-preservation left among them, they must do everything they can to steer themselves off of this road before the destination is reached.

1	Area large man Lawrence Schickle reinforced his sedentary lifestyle Sunday with the decision to remain in bed all day. 'I shall not venture out of doors for the remainder of the weekend,' the morbidly obese Schickle said. 'I may not even go to the bathroom if I can possibly postpone it until Monday morning.' Citing exhaustion from the previous Tuesdays taping of a Simon & Simon rerun, Schickle said he would spend the day watching cable TV and eating institutional-sized cans of Chef Boy-Ar-Dee Beef Ravioli. 
1	WASHINGTON, DCTop-secret information about the design, construction, and delivery of nuclear weapons has never been more affordable than it is today, CIA Director George Tenet announced Monday. Plans for weapons like Pakistan's medium-range Shaheen II missile are cheaper than ever. 'We're seeing items like warhead blueprints and uranium-enrichment instructions go for a fraction of what they used to cost,' Tenet said. 'There's never been a better time to snag a deal on low-mass, high-yield weaponry schematics. Countries like Iran and North Korea are finding that it's a real buyer's market.' Tenet said he expects prices to continue to decline. 'These bargain prices will create more buyers, which will in turn widen the black market to include more sellers,' Tenet said. 'If this trend continues, then by 2010, nuclear secrets will be well within the reach of Uzbekistan, Morocco, and pretty much anyone else with enough money to buy a used car.' The trend toward cheaper, more readily available nuclear secrets began in the early '90s, when Pakistani scientists sold plans and equipment for uranium-refining gas centrifuges to Iran and Iraq. While the price initially hovered around $100 million, the expanding market quickly drove prices down. 'Three years ago, a complete W-88 warhead data suite went to the Chinese for a sum in the mid-nine figures,' CIA nuclear-weapons specialist Mitch Romano said. 'Now, you can pick up that W-88 data in Central Asia for a tenth of that costand they'll deliver it free.' Romano cited another example of plunging prices. 'About six months ago, one of our wiretaps recorded the sale of plans for a two-foot, 12-megaton warhead to a Quebecois separatist cell for slightly more than $1 million,' Romano said. 'Yesterday, the plans surfaced again, this time on the Internet. It was eBay item #2899538529, and it had a 'Buy it now' price of $18,500.' Romano assured the public that the CIA has the seller, a San Diego-based car-audio retailer with the screen name of BatVette65, under strict surveillance. 'He's got tons of new deals every week,' Romano said. 'Right now, he's got plans for an artillery-launched supergun nuke and a set of blueprints for cool old vintage Soviet-era silos.' Romano said that, although prices are plunging, quality is improving. 'We're not talking about a waist-high stack of floppy disks storing instructions for some clunky old atom bomb,' Romano said. 'We're talking detailed specs on a U.S.-produced Special Atomic Demolition Munitions suitcase device. Those are great little bombs that you can't even get on the straight market anymore, because of the Spratt-Furse law.' Martin Woess, an atomic-intelligence branch operative from Great Britain's MI-6, said prices are so low that virtually any political organization that wants a nuclear program can afford one. A set of nuclear secrets is priced to sell at an outdoor market in Altay, Mongolia. 'Last week, we investigated reports that a cell in Edinburgh had sold classified British intelligence information to an American group,' Woess said. 'The group turned out to be the Young Republicans organization at the University of Virginia.' 'NATO has since classified the group as a Class D potential nuclear threat,' Woess added. At least one intelligence expert expressed trepidation over the booming nuclear-secrets economy. 'It was an embarrassment to our country that Abdul Qadeer Khan sold nuclear secrets and technology to Iran, Libya, and North Korea,' said General Mohammed Kanazwa, a senior officer for Pakistani military intelligence. 'But it was all the more embarrassing when we found out that he had sold them in the 'Bargains Under $100' section of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.' As dire as the news may seem, Tenet stressed the difference between acquiring the technical know-how necessary to build a nuclear-weapons program and actually initiating such a program. 'Although nuclear-weapons intelligence may be selling for less than a thousandth of its Cold War price, the buyer would still require qualified personnel and hard-to-find materials to actually construct a device,' Tenet said. 'They may be able to get plans for a bomb for a few pennies, but weapons-grade plutonium, when available, sells for hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars a pound.' 
2	BREAKING: Obama Sends Massive Threat To Anyone Who Opposes His Tyranny [VIDEO] President Barack Obama is in some serious hot water after recent statements he made about how he views his power relative to United States law. According to reports, Congress is considering passing a law that would prevent Obama from providing handouts and assistance to people who enter the country illegally. Still, Obama claims that Congress cannot stand in his way on the matter. So in the short term, if Mr. McConnell, the leader of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House, John Boehner, want to have a vote on whether what Im doing in legal or not, they can have that vote, Obama announced in a town hall meeting about the issue. I will veto that vote, because Im absolutely confident that what were doing is the right thing to do. Weve always known that the president has very little respect for the law, but hearing him voice his opinions is simply shocking. What weve done is weve expanded my authorities under executive action and prosecutorial discretion as far as we can legally under the existing statute, the existing law, Obama continued. And so now the question is, how can we get a law passed. It seems the president has a misunderstanding of the law and his role as president to uphold it. Instead, he is acting like a dictator. What do you think? Are you sick of Obama abusing his power? 
2	Muslim Inmates Make THIS Outrageous Demands So Sheriff Beats Them Down With A Swift Serving Of Justice According to recent reports, a group of 186 inmates in Britain has decided to launch lawsuits against the government after discovering that prison meals are currently being prepared with pork. The inmates claim that they were unaware that they were eating pork until they had tests conducted on the prisons sausages, shepherds pies, steaks, and pastries. Of course, eating pork is strictly forbidden by the Quran. Tests revealed that even the Halal sausage rolls being served were 5% pork. The British government is now attempting to remedy the situation before it gets out of hand, especially given the fact that Muslims make up 13.1% of the countrys prison population in Britain. The Ministry of Justice has received a number of civil litigation claims following the discovery of the contaminated halal food in March earlier this year, Justice Minister Jeremy Wright claimed in a statement. Each claim will be considered on its merits and robustly defended where appropriate. What do you think of the lawsuit? Should Britain be forced to serve halal food to prisoners? 
3	40 Percent Of U.S. Workers Make Less Than What A Full-Time Minimum Wage Worker Made In 1968Michael Snyder And of course the official government inflation numbers have been heavily manipulated to make inflation look much lower than it actually is, so the number for today should actually be substantially higher than $10.74, but for purposes of this article we will use $10.74. If you were to work a full-time job at $10.74 an hour for a full year (with two weeks off for vacation), you would make about $21,480 for the year. That isnt a lot of money, but according to the Social Security Administration, 40.28% of all workers make less than $20,000 a year in America today. So that means that more than 40 percent of all U.S. workers actually make less than what a full-time minimum wage worker made back in 1968. That is how far we have fallen. The other day I wrote an article which discussed the transition that we are witnessing in our economy right now. Good paying full-time jobs are disappearing, and they are being replaced by low paying part-time jobs. So far this year,76.7 percent of the jobs that have been created in the U.S. economy have been part-time jobs. That would be depressing enough, but what makes it worse is that wages for many of these low paying jobs have actually been declining over the past decade even as the cost of living keeps going up. The following is from a recentUSA Today article In the years between 2002 and 2012, real median wages dropped by at least 5% in five of the top 10 low-wage jobs, including food preparers and housekeepers. Well, there are three long-term trends that are absolutely crushing American workers right now. First of all, thanks to our very foolish politicians American workers have been merged into a global labor pool where they must directly compete for jobs with workers on the other side of the planet that live in countries where it is legal to pay slave labor wages. This has resulted in millions upon millions of good jobs leaving this country. Big corporations can pad their profits by taking a job from an American worker making $15 an hour with benefits and giving it to a worker on the other side of the globe that is willing to work for less than a dollar an hour with no benefits. Our politicians could do something about this, but they refuse to do so. Most of them are absolutely married to the idea of a one world economic system that will unite the globe. Unfortunately, the U.S. economy is going to continue to lose tens of thousands of businesses and millions upon millions of jobs to this one world economic system. Secondly, big corporations are replacing as many expensive workers with machines, computers and robots as they possibly can. As technology continues to advance at a blistering pace, the need for workers (especially low-skilled workers) will continue to decrease. Unfortunately, the jobs that are being lost to technology are not coming back any time soon. Thirdly, the overall U.S. economy has been steadily declining for more than a decade. If you doubt this, just read this article. As our economy continues to get weaker, the lack of jobs is going to become a bigger and bigger problem. And as our economy systematically loses good jobs, more Americans are forced to become dependent on the government. Back in 1979, there was about one American on food stamps for every manufacturing job. Today, there are about four Americans on food stamps for every manufacturing job. When I first found that statistic I was absolutely stunned. How in the world can anyone out there deny that the U.S. economy is collapsing? But as I mentioned above, it isnt just that the number of jobs is not what it should be. The quality of our jobs is declining as well. For example, one study found that between 1969 and 2009 the wages earned by American men between the ages of 30 and 50 declined by 27 percent after you account for inflation. That is a pretty stunning decline. And it has only accelerated in recent years. Median household income (adjusted for inflation) has fallen by 7.8 percent since the year 2000, and the ratio of wages and salaries to GDP in the United States is near an all-time record low. Most Americans are finding that their bills just keep going up but their paychecks are not. This is causing the middle class to wither away, and most families are just trying to survive from month to month at this point. In fact, according to one recent survey 76 percent of all Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. So where do we go from here? To some people the answer is simple. They say that we should substantially raise the minimum wage. And yes, that would definitely make life a bit better for lots of low paid workers out there, but it would also have some very negative side effects. A substantially higher minimum wage would mean higher prices at retail stores and restaurants, and it would also greatly increase the incentive that corporations have to replace American workers with foreign workers or with technology. We already have rampant unemployment in this country, and right now there are more than 100 million working age Americans that do not have a job. We certainly dont want to make that worse. So raising the minimum wage would not solve our problems. It would just redistribute our problems. It is definitely not conservative and it should not be liberal to stand by and watch millions upon millions of our good jobs get shipped over to communist China. We need more economic patriots in America today, but unfortunately they appear to be a minority at this point. And once upon a time the U.S. economy was actually a free market system where rules, regulations and red tape were kept to a minimum. Our nation blossomed under such a system. Sadly, today we have become a nation that literally has millions of laws, rules and regulations. The control freaks seem to run everything. In fact, the Obama administration recently forced one small-time magician out in Missouri to submit a 32-page disaster plan for the little rabbit that he uses in his magic shows for kids. That is a very humorous example, but it is a perfect illustration of how absurd our system has become. Another thing we could do to turn this around would be to get rid of the IRS and the income tax. Did you know that the greatest period of economic growth in U.S. history was during a time when there was absolutely no income tax? If you doubt this, just read this article. And of course probably the most important thing that we could do for our economy would be to get rid of the Federal Reserve. The Fed is a massive Ponzi scheme and it has played a primary role in creating almost every single financial bubble in the post-World War II era. Right now we are living in the greatest bond bubble in the history of the planet, and when that Fed-created bubble bursts the pain is going to be absolutely excruciating. In addition, the value of our currency has declined by over 96 percent and the size of the U.S. national debt has gotten more than 5000 times larger since the Fed was created. The Federal Reserve is at the very heart of our economic problems, and we desperately need to shut it down. Unfortunately, our politicians are not even willing to consider these solutions, and most Americans are way too busy watching Toddlers Tiaras, Honey Boo Boo and other mindless television programs to be bothered with the real problems that our country is facing. So needless to say, the great economic storm that is coming is not going to be averted. Most of the country is still asleep, and most people are going to get absolutely blindsided by the economic nightmare that is rapidly approaching.

3	Economic Reality Now Catching Up To Market FantasyIn the mind of a schizophrenic person, internal elements of fantasy (negative and positive) are made manifest in the psyche and projected out onto the real world. Often, the daydream images of the mind are not merely images to them. Rather, what they imagine subconsciously becomes reality. Their faculties of observation become so limited, either due to a reaction to trauma or merely an inherent inability to cope, that they cannot decipher between fact and fiction. A person could go on like this for quite some time if all his needs are provided for by someone else. But the moment that support ends (and it will), the realities of necessity, not to mention supply and demand, take hold. One cannot live in a schizophrenic world indefinitely. The power of fantasy is that it is self-perpetuating. Fantasies are fueled most commonly by misplaced hopes and unhealthy or unrealistic desires, and such things are darkly and grotesquely energizing. Fantasies can indeed keep economies around the world functionally alive even when they are clinically dead. But again, there is always an end. Equities and commodities markets in particular have levitated despite economic fact, making their eventual fall ever more spectacular. That fall has now begun halfway through 2015. Lets look at the cold hard truths of our current situation. New signals of market crisis are generating every two to four weeks as we grind on into the third quarter. This is in stark contrast to the relatively predictable and stable market behavior of the past three years. I realize that we are experiencing a slow boil and that many people may not even be taking note of the exponential increase in negative economic signs, but really, think about it at the beginning of 2014, what was the general financial sentiment compared to today? Europe has just experienced the worst near miss yet with the Greek crisis, a crisis that is still not over and will likely end in chaos as the last-minute deal with the European Central Bank is derailed by International Monetary Fund intervention. Keep in mind that Europe is overwhelmed with debt as peripheral countries border collapse and core nations like France float in a recessionary ether they refuse to openly acknowledge. Asia is the biggest story right now, with Chinese markets in veritable free fall despite all attempts by the communist government to quell stock selling and shorting, to the point of threatening arrest and imprisonment for some net short sellers. Chinas Shanghai Stock Exchange has experienced a 30% drop in market value in a months time. The mainstream argument meant to marginalize this fact is that less than 2% of Chinas equities are owned by foreign investors; therefore, a crash there will not affect us here. This is, of course, pure idiocy. China is the largest importer/exporter in the world; and its set to become the worlds largest economy within the next two years, surpassing the United States. Chinas economy is a production economy, and the nation is a primary supplier for all consumer goods everywhere. Thus, China is a litmus test for the fiscal health of the rest of the world. When Chinese companies are struggling, when exporters are seeing steady overall declines and when manufacturing begins to crawl, this is not only a reflection of Chinas economic instability, but also a reflection of the collapsing demand in every other nation that buys from China. Collapsing demand means collapsing sales and collapsing market value. For a global economic system so dependent on ever growing consumption, this is a death knell. In the U.S., markets have experienced a delayed reaction of sorts, due in great part to the Federal Reserves constant injections of fiat fantasy fuel since the credit crisis began. This kind of artificial support for markets has become an expected and essential part of market psychology, resulting in utter dependency on easy money siphoned into big banks that then use it to bolster equities through massive stock buybacks (among other methods). Now, however, quantitative easing has been tapered and zero interest-rate policy is nearing the chopping block. The stock buyback scam is nearing an end. Already, U.S. stocks are beginning to feel the pain as reality slowly nibbles away once dependable gains. There is a good reason for this Wages are in constant decline; manufacturing is in steady decline; retail sales are in decline, and government and personal debts continue to rise. We are not immune to the financial chaos of other nations exactly because we have been railroaded into a highly interdependent global economic system. In fact, much international fiscal uncertainty is tied directly to the fall of the American consumer as a reliable cash cow and economic engine. So where is this all headed? Commodities tell part of the story, with oil sliding steadily, signaling what we in the alternative economic community have been saying for years: Fiat stimulus propped up markets (including energy markets) that should have been allowed to deflate long ago, and now we are suffering the consequences. Crude oil prices fell 19 percent in July alone as energy companies the world over scramble to adapt. Gold and silver have taken considerable hits to their paper value while physical purchases continue to skyrocket, meaning the street price of metals may soon decouple from illegitimate and manipulated market prices. Smaller and some medium-sized economies will continue to surprise markets with volatile debt issues, like Puerto Rico (nearing possible default) and Venezuela (nearing certain doom). These are more canaries in the coal mine to watch carefully. It is also important to keep in mind that prices on necessities including food and housing remain high despite deflation in other areas (like wages). This suggests we are in the midst of a stagflationary fiscal environment. Centralization is the key to every single economic development weve seen since the 2008 crash. Venezuela, in particular, is a marker for where we are all headed: total price controls, food confiscation from farms, rationing and even computer-chipped ration cards in order to thwart any attempts by citizens to stockpile essentials. Do not assume that such draconian measures are limited to third world socialist hellholes. Or, at the very least, do not assume that a country like the U.S. is not on the verge of becoming a third world hellhole. As for Europe, French president Francois Hollande has openly called for a centralized eurozone government in order to deal with the ongoing economic crisis there (something I have been warning about for several years). Supranational government is the endgame for sovereign humanity, and the EU is on the fast track. In China, the march continues toward the inclusion of the yuan in the IMFs SDR currency basket, the greatest economic centralization scheme of all time. The recent suggestion by an IMF panel to delay inclusion until 2016 only reinforces the likelihood that the Yuan will be entered into the basket. If the IMF had no intention to bring China into the fold, they would have suggested a 5 year delay just as they did back in 2010. For those who think Chinas recent market crisis will somehow thwart their inclusion into the SDR, think again. The IMF has already announced that the market route in China will have no bearing on the SDR conference, which is set to end in November. In the U.S., the markets wait for the Federal Reserves rate hikes. The rate hike issue is an underestimated one by some analysts, who seem to think that initial hikes will be minor and will result in little to no reverberations. Interest rates affect more than just overnight bank lending; they are the primary pillar supporting current market psychology. There is NO other financial element giving positive influence to investor psychology. There is no good economic news out there to warrant the bull market of the past few years. There is no open form of QE (and future QE seems unlikely as renewed stimulus would only be an admission that the first three attempts at QE failed miserably, derailing any point to new easing). There is no recovery. And when any even minor or engineered good news is presented in the mainstream, markets have reacted NEGATIVELY for fear that this will hasten higher interest rates. Beyond psychology and false hopes, even minor increases in interest rates will essentially kill most large-scale bank lending. We know through the limited audit of the TARP bailouts that trillions in fiat was created simply to feed international banks and corporations through ZIRP and that this kind of free money lending has been a mainstay ever since. ZIRP is the primary driver of stock buybacks and the equities bull market. But this will only continue as long as the Fed loans remain free (or almost free). Trillions in loans can equal billions in interest even with a minor rate rise, meaning, with the end of ZIRP and free money, banks and corporations will stop borrowing, stock buybacks will dissolve, and equities will lose the artificial support they have so far enjoyed. Even mainstream financial news outlets are beginning to question why the Fed would push at all for rate hikes and pretend that the American fiscal system is in recovery, when ALL other information would lead the rational person to the contrary conclusion. I would point out that in order to understand central planners and globalist motives, you need to look at what they chase. The Feds job is to destroy the U.S. economy and the dollar, not save them, which is why the Fed continues to deny economic turmoil and charges headlong into a rate hike scenario even though no one in the mainstream asked them to. The Chinese central banks job is to make all arrangements for Yuan inclusion in the SDR, despite the fact that China is supposedly in conflict with Western banks. The ECB and Europe are obsessed with centralized government even if they have to break several eggs to get it. And the IMF and Bank for International Settlements are set up to be the economic heroes of the day, warning us all (too late, of course) of the potential downfall of central bank stimulus policies and government debt obligations. In a murky world of market fantasy, our first guideposts are the fundamentals themselves. Supply and demand can be misrepresented for a time through manipulated statistics, but the tangible effects of decline cannot be. Our secondary guideposts are the paths that internationalists and central banks bulldoze through the fiscal forest. To anyone with any sense, the endgame is clear: Total centralization is the goal, and economic fear is the tool they hope to use to get there. I have written on numerous solutions to this threat in past articles; but the first and most important action is for each of us to acknowledge, wholeheartedly, that the system we know is ending. It is over. What replaces that system will either be up to us or up to them. Only by admitting that there is an end to the fantasy, a painful end, will we then be able to help determine our future reality.

3	Monsanto sued by Kansas wheat farmer over release of unapproved GMO wheat in OregonMadison Ruppert The farmer, Ernest Barnes, said that Monsantos GMO wheat has put all of the United States wheat export sales at risk. Meanwhile, Monsanto claims they have no clue how the Roundup Ready strain of wheat ended up in an Oregon field since they say they abandoned their research in 2004. Indeed, Barnes is quite right in saying that the discovery has already impacted U.S. wheat exports. Japan canceled part of a tender to buy U.S. western white wheat. Japan is one of the largest export markets for U.S. wheat. South Korea also suspended imports of U.S. wheat and said they would increase inspections of imports. The EU similarly said they will test incoming shipments and will block any shipments containing GMO wheat. Monsanto has released GE (genetically engineered) wheat into the non-genetically modified wheat population, Barnes petition states. The plaintiff has been harmed by any and all Monsanto GE wheat because it has impacted wheat exports and the price of wheat, the petition adds, according to Reuters. The unfortunate reality is that the scale of the spread of Monsantos unapproved GMO wheat is not quite known at this point. While the lawsuit does not state a specific claim for damages, it does say that the amount in dispute exceeds $75,000. Barnes seeks damages to be determined at trial, according to the Associated Press. However, AP notes that Warren Burns, one of Barnes attorneys, said that the scope of damages is potentially in the hundreds of millions of dollars. While the U.S. Department of Agriculture claims that Oregon wheat is safe to eat and that there is no evidence showing that the GMO wheat entered the marketplace, entire countries apparently arent willing to take their word for it. These types of suits serve the purpose of helping police the agricultural system we have in place and make sure farmers are protected, Burns told AP. While Barnes lawsuit is believed to be the first in response to the discovery, his attorney said that The cases may be consolidated to make the process of discovery easier. Discovery involves obtaining, investigating and sharing evidence among parties. As expected, Monsanto has been critical of the lawsuit. Tractor-chasing lawyers have prematurely filed suit without any evidence of fault and in advance of the crops harvest, David Snively, Monsanto executive vice president and general counsel, said. Monsanto claims that they followed a government-directed, rigorous, well-documented and audited process of closing out their GMO wheat program. They pointed out that on average wheat seed is only viable for one or two years in the soil. One must wonder then, where did the contamination come from if the program was so rigorously closed out some nine years ago? Monsanto claims that they are not to be held liable for the contaminated crop because they took so much care to prevent contamination. Given the care undertaken, no legal liability exists and the company will present a vigorous defense, Monsanto said in a statement Obviously the contamination still happened so its unclear just how much care was actually taken. The case has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Monti Belot of the U.S. District Court in Wichita, Kansas. Burns said that he thinks the lawsuit will remain in U.S. District Court in Kansas due to the tremendous amount of harm [that] has fallen on Kansas and Kansas farms. We view it as very important to maintaining farmers and maintaining the way of life they lead which is very important not only to this country but countries around the world to which we export, Burns said. It is hard to underestimate the importance of the American wheat crop in sustaining people around the globe, Burns added, according to AP. If the unapproved GMO wheat is found to be more widespread than the initial discovery in Oregon, the U.S. wheat exports estimated to be worth around $9 billion this year could be put at even greater risk.

3	New Hampshire Bill To Ban NSA Activity Called the Biggest Threat Since the Civil WarBy Mike Maharrey Rep. Neal Kurk prefiled House Bill 1494 (HB1494). The legislation would prohibit government agencies from acquiring, collecting, retaining or using personal information and social media data without a warrant in most cases. The bill does allow a few exceptions to the warrant requirement. Governments can collect personal information with the express written permission of the owner, pursuant to a judicially recognized exception to the warrant requirement or in some emergency situations. HB1494 broadly defines personal information. A persons name; date or place of birth; social security number; address; employment history; credit history; financial information; account numbers; cellular telephone, voice over internet protocol or landline telephone numbers; biometric identifiers, including fingerprints, facial photographs or images, retinal scans, DNA/RNA or other identifying data unique to that individual; or one or more pieces of information that, when considered together or in the context of the information that is presented or gathered, are sufficient to specify a unique individual. HB1494 includes criminal penalties. In other words, law enforcement agents collecting information in violation of the law would be subject to arrest. The legislation does contain a qualification that seems rather broad. It allows information collection if required by a government pursuant to state or federal law, provided that such information is requested of and supplied by an information and service provider for named individuals only or, in the case of employees and/or contractors of an information and service provider, for all of its employees and/or contractors. It remains unclear exactly how much latitude this would give law enforcement agencies to gather data on individuals without a warrant. Even with this loophole, HB1494 would still bar state and local law enforcement agencies in New Hampshire from acquiring any information or data gathered through mass surveillance including information shared by federal agencies. EFFECT ON FEDERAL DATA SHARING Even though the bill does not directly address data gathered by federal agencies, prohibiting state and local law enforcement from obtaining data gathered through mass surveillance would effectively end a practical effect of NSA spying. NSA collects, stores, and analyzes data on countless millions of people without a warrant, without even the mere suspicion of criminal activity. The NSA also tracks the physical location of people through their cellphones. In late 2013,the Washington Post reportedthat NSA is gathering nearly 5 billion records a day on the whereabouts of cellphones around the world. This includes location data on tens of millions of Americans each year without a warrant. Through fusion centers, state and local law enforcementact as information recipientsfrom various federal departments under Information Sharing Environment (ISE). ISE partners include the Office ofDirector of National Intelligence, which is an umbrella covering 17 federal agencies and organizations, including the NSA. State and local law enforcement share data up the chain with the feds. The NSA expressly shares warrantless data with state and local law enforcement through a super-secret DEA unit known as the Special Operations Division (SOD). That information is being used for criminal prosecutions. AReuters reportlast fall showed that most of this shared data has absolutely nothing to do with national security issues. Most of it involves routine criminal investigations. This data sharing shoves a dagger into the heart of the Fourth Amendment. In an interview last fall, former NSA technical chief William Binney called NSA information sharing the most threatening situation to our constitutional republic since the Civil War. Thats what happens when you allow this kind of assembly of information thats so much power. Thats like J. Edgar Hoover on super-steroids, he said. This is not compatible with any form of democracy at all. Passage of HB1494 into law would prohibit this from happening in New Hampshire. ACTION ITEMS For New Hampshire: Contact your state representative and politely urge them to support and co-sponsor HB1494. You can find their contact information HERE. For other states: Contact your state legislators and urge them to introduce legislation to protect electronic data. You can find contact information HERE.

3	Why the Sudden Barrage of Live-Fire Military Drills at Schools?selfnews Post It was reported that residents were shocked and scared by the sight and sounds of the raid. When you see this, you think the worst. When you hear this, you think the worst, resident Frances Jerrals said. I felt like I was in a warzone. It was nonstop. I was terrified. Apparently, the residents were the only ones who were shocked by the drill. The local government was also not informed of the drill and held an emergency meeting to open discussion of the mock attack. This intense and terrifying drill came only days after a similar drill in Miami. And its announced that live gun fire (with blanks) will be used in yet another mock school raid in Chicago today. According to CBS: The excuse for the unannounced training in Miami was for overseas training although they paired up with local law enforcement to pull it off. Last night, there was an unreported urban training drill in Pennsylvania that was simply posted as a status update, January 29th, on abc27 (based in Harrisburg) news Facebook page: This is how they alert the public now? This morning they finally posted a very short update on their news websitewith a picture of a helicopter saying: There were three helicopters flying high and low, practicing touch-and-go landings. People were also rappelling down ropes. They were gone as quickly as they arrived. Perhaps the most bizarre multi-agency mock drill took place on January 17th in Portsmouth, Ohioand actually targets 2nd Amendment supporters who are school employees as terrorists: The news of these several major drills happening in one week follow a prominent one in Minneapolis that took place late August, 2012. A lot of Black Hawk helicopter footage appears at that link. The people there received some warning. And so did the people of Chicago last spring although they were still left terrorized by rattling windows, military men hanging out of windows and choppers with automatic weapons and low-flying Little Birds weaving in between skyscrapers. That training was in preparation of a NATO summit with expected protesters and was intended for terrorist and crowd control measures. Last January, multi-agency training took place overLos Angelessimilar to the reports above complete with a Black Hawk and four Little Birds It was described as a dry run for a future mission. Chief Warrant Officer David Duran saidits always best to get the closest terrain layout to what the objective is. They pick terrain based on what they might be facing in the future. The chilling yet casual news report laid it all out. Likewise, Urban Shield surprise training drills have been going on for awhile now such as the one in Boston last fall. It appears that heretofore unconcerned citizens are unsettled by the exercises that ride on the heels of the Sandy Hook tragedy. What is alsoominous: the drills in major US cities arrive just after the claim activist Jim Garrow made of Obamas litmus test for the military: Will you fire on American citizens? And of course, the DHS is buying up all the ammo thats becoming increasingly scarce and recently purchased 7,000 AR-15s calling them personal defense while those same firearms arevilifiedas assualt weapons for American citizens. Will the public become desensitized and accept terror-inducing drills around and in schools, in neighborhoods at night with no warning? With around two-thirds of our tax dollars supporting military spending, why would there be need to practice on the people in American cities? Article Sources: 
2	Michelle Obama Attacks White In THIS Unbelievably Racist Speech [VIDEO] This past weekend, First Lady Michelle Obama discussed race at the Tuskegee University in Alabama during a commencement speech. The road ahead is not going to be easy for folks like you and me, she addressed graduates at the historically black-dominated university. Because while weve come so far, the truth is that those age-old problems are stubborn, and they havent fully gone away. Michelle then went on to claim that white people question both her and Obama on their intelligence, honesty, and love for this country. Blaming the problem on race, she fails to acknowledge that perhaps both she and our dear president have acting in a way to lose our trust. No matter how far you rise in life, how hard you work to be a good person, a good parent, a good citizenfor some folks, it will never be good enough, Michelle concluded. What do you think? Is it time the Obamas started taking some responsibility for their actions?

3	3D Printed and Homemade Ghost Guns Must Now Be Registered in CaliforniaBy Everett Numbers Governor Jerry Brown (D) signed Assembly Bill 857 into law on Friday, much to the chagrin of gun rights groups. Brown had vetoed similar legislation in 2014, according to the Sacramento Bee. I appreciate the authors concerns about gun violence, but I cant see how adding a serial number to a homemade gun would significantly advance public safety, Brown wrote two years ago, the Beereported. Enough has apparently changed in that time; while California Senate President pro-TemporeKevin de Lens (D-Los Angeles) 2014 bill failed, the 2016 version pushed by Assemblyman Jim Cooper (D-Elk Grove) succeeded. In addition to requiring a background check through the states Department of Justice in order to obtain an official serial number, the builder of the homemade gun is prohibited from selling or transferring the weapon under the new law. It goes into full effect in 2019,according to the Associated Press. Proponents of the ghost gun regulations claimed that without the law, Californians would be endangered by felons or others barred from owning guns simply 3D printing or building their own. Gun rights advocates, however, see the law as only hurting non-criminals. In addition to many other terminal issues presented in the bill, AB 857 fails to conform its exemptions to federal law, thereby placing potentially hundreds of thousands of good, law-abiding people at the mercy of an unconstitutionally vague criminal statute, the Firearms Policy coalition argued in June before the bill was passed. The group issued another statement following the California legislatures approval of the bill. California gun owners will have to carefully weigh the risks of compliance before submitting to an openly tyrannical government that puts them and their Constitutionally-protected property in the crosshairs of a growing police state,the Firearms Policy Coalition said in a statement Friday. Before the new law was passed, unfinished lower receivers were made and sold to construct guns that would be legally untraceable. These parts usually consist of a trigger, firing pin, and an ammunition feeding mechanism.

Thats the speed of politics these days. nnnk! As if those who print a gun indiscreetly are going to suffer such Byzantine rule-mongering shenanigans. Sweet! Im wondering how this would be enforced? The whole point of 3-D printing is to forego the onerous regulations that go hand in hand infringing on our God given right of self protection. EXACTLY!!! +1 fer you! Politicians, government masters, banksters and corporate enslavers are rapidly being disintermediated. The faster they run, the more out of breath theyre going to be. The Police State is going to fail miserably and when it does its going to be ugly for those whove tried to enslave us. Their plan of making everything we peasants do illegal and every crime they commit legal is doomed. Too many people are awakening and have had just about enough of their evil circus. Just say NO~ WILL NOT BE INFRINGED! how does one register something that doesnt exist ??? Ok I am going to rush down and register the gun you dont know I have so you will know I have one!!! I dont think so Tim!! 
3	Britains Middle East Spy StationStephen Lendman On August 23, The Independent headlined Exclusive: UKs secret Mid-East internet surveillance is revealed in Edward Snowden leaks. Did Snowden provide information to The Independent? He categorically denies doing so. Perhaps its exclusive stopped short of telling all. More on that below. Data gathering is part of a ($1.5 billion) web project still being assembled by GCHQ, said The Independent. Its involved in intercept(ing) and process(ing) vast quantities of emails, telephone calls and web traffic on behalf of Western intelligence agencies, The Independent has learnt. It taps and extracts data from underwater fibre-optic cables passing through the region. It processes them. It passes them onto Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ). It hands them to NSA. Government officials lie. They claim lawless spying is vital in waging war on terror. Its an early warning system, they say. Its no such thing. Its a ruse. Its about control. Its about advancing imperial priorities. It wants threats challenging it eliminated. Its about espionage. Its for economic advantage. Its to be one up on foreign competitors. Its for information used advantageously in trade, political, and military relations. A previous article discussed Britains war on freedom. Its being systematically destroyed. Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger was ordered to destroy Edward Snowden provided documents. They pertain to lawless NSA spying. They explain GCHQs complicity. Its a longstanding relationship. They operate extrajudicially. Its official policy. NSA and GCHQ want none of their illicit activities revealed. At issue is serious government wrongdoing. It has nothing to do with preventing terrorism. Its for control, espionage and intimidation. Police states operate this way. Britains Middle East station is especially valuable, said The Independent. It accesses submarine cables passing through the region. Data gotten from all sources is copied into giant computer storage buffers and then sifted for data of special interest. Information about the project was contained in 50,000 GCHQ documents that Mr. Snowden downloaded during 2012. Many of them came from an internal Wikipedia-style information site called GC-Wiki. Unlike the public Wikipedia, GCHQs wiki was generally classified Top Secret or above. The Independents article followed Metropolitan Police initiating a terrorist investigation regarding material found on David Mirandas computer. Hes Glenn Greenwalds partner. He was in transit from Berlin to Rio de Janeiro. He threatened no one. He violated no laws. His laptop, cell phone, camera, memory sticks, DVDs and game consoles were confiscated. It was done lawlessly. Gwendolen Morgan represents him. Shes suing on his behalf. She seeks judicial review. She wants assurance that property police wrongfully seized wont be examined. She demands to know if its been passed on to others. If so, to whom, why, and whether they compromised Mirandas privacy. Scotland Yard apparently ignored her. They examined Mirandas hard drive anyway. They claimed it contained highly sensitive material. They said disclosure could put lives at risk. They lied. Information Snowden provided exposed government wrongdoing. Everyone needs to know. Its a national priority. It needs to be stopped. Londons Guardian published Snowdens material. Thousands more documents remain to be disclosed. The Guardian agreed not to report anything potentially compromising national security. It hasnt done so. It wont. It wants government wrongdoing alone exposed. Its vital to do it. Britain demanded the Guardian not publish information on how UK telecom firms secretly collaborate with GCHQ. They do it to intercept the vast majority of all internet traffic entering the country, said The Independent. The paper had details of the highly controversial and secret programme for over a month. But it only published information on the scheme which involved paying the companies to tap into fibre-optic cables entering Britain after the allegations appeared in the German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung. Glenn Greenwald has access to Snowdens information. After Mirandas mistreatment, he said hell be far more aggressive in reporting henceforth. I am going to publish many more documents, he said. I have many more on Englands spy system. I think they will be sorry for what they did. GCHQs data-gathering operation is a work in progress. Its part of a sweeping spy operation code-named Tempora. Its goal is global digital communications collection. It includes emails, text messages and more. It wants to know everything about everyone. It wants to be Big Brother writ large. NSA operates the same way. Across three sites, communications including telephone calls are tracked both by satellite dishes and by tapping into underwater fibre-optic cables, said The Independent. GCHQ collects information on political intentions of foreign powers. Its after much more than that. Its all-embracing. Its lawless. It doesnt matter. GCHQ target(s) anyone who is overseas or communicating from overseas without further checks or controls. GCHQ and NSA spy domestically. They claim otherwise. They deny blanket data-gathering. They claim operations are security related. They say terror and organized crime are targeted. They lied. Theyve been caught red-handed. Theyre waging war on freedom. On August 23, London Guardian contributor Glenn Greenwaldheadlined Snowden: UK government now leaking documents about itself. He addressed The Independents article discussed above. He quoted Snowden saying: I have never spoken with, worked with, or provided any journalistic materials to the Independent. The journalists I have worked with have, at my request, been judicious and careful in ensuring that the only things disclosed are what the public should know but that does not place any person in danger. People at all levels of society up to and including the President of the United States have recognized the contribution of these careful disclosures to a necessary public debate, and we are proud of this record. It appears that the UK government is now seeking to create an appearance that the Guardian and Washington Posts disclosures are harmful, and they are doing so by intentionally leaking harmful information to The Independent and attributing it to others. The UK government should explain the reasoning behind this decision to disclose information that, were it released by a private citizen, they would argue is a criminal act. Whos the source for The Independents disclosure, asked Greenwald? Britains been abus(ing) and lawless(ly) exploit(ing) its Terrorism Act. It did so against David Miranda. (S)uddenly serious dangers (to) public safety are cited. Disclosures Britains government wants follows. America operates the same way. It aggressively target(s) those who disclose embarrassing or incriminating information about the government in the name of protecting the sanctity of classified information, while simultaneously leaking classified information prolifically when doing so advances (its) political interests. The Independents Oliver Wright responded, saying: For the record: The Independent was not leaked or duped into publishing todays front page story by the Government. Greenwald didnt say it was duped. Whos the source for its disclosure, he asked? Its a legitimate question. It deserves an honest answer. If The Independents information wasnt leaked, where did it come from? Who supplied it? It wasnt Snowden or anyone working with him. Most likely Britains government was involved. A Final Comment It did so after a court ruled that some of the agencys activities were unconstitutional, according to top-secret material passed to the Guardian. Information revealed provides the first evidence of a financial relationship between the tech companies and the NSA. Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook, Apple, YouTube, Skype, and others are involved. A December 2012 top secret NSA newsletter entry disclosed the huge costs, saying: Renewing FISA court ordered certifications on a temporary basis (instead of annually as required) cost millions of dollars for Prism providers to implement each successive extension costs covered by Special Source Operations (SSO). Snowden calls NSAs SSO its crown jewel. It handles all surveillance programs. It relies on telecom and Internet provider partnerships to do it. Its how NSA accesses all communications. It highlights disturbing questions. NSA officials lie. So do complicit companies. They do it repeatedly. Since the Guardian and Washington Post first revealed NSAs program on June 6, they first denied it existed. They claim informations only supplied in response to specific legal requests from authorities. Earlier information showed they lied. New details provide added confirmation. Companies were asked to respond. Google refused. CEO Eric Schmidts closely connected to powerful Bilderberg movers and shakers. Their agenda includes controlling the global political and technological landscape. Schmidt thinks privacy is quaint and outdated. Hes turning Google into the ultimate Big Brother. Hes working with NSA to do it. So are other online and telecom companies. They operate lawlessly. They breach privacy with impunity. They do it without required authorization. They do it because wholl stop them. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	Washington Is InsanePaul Craig Roberts Polls demonstrate that 65% of the US population opposes US intervention in Syria. Despite this clear indication of the peoples will, the Obama regime is ramping up a propaganda case for more arming of Washingtons mercenaries sent to overthrow the secular Syrian government and for a no-fly zone over Syria, which, if Libya is the example, means US or NATO aircraft attacking the Syrian army on the ground, thus serving as the air force of Washingtons imported mercenaries, euphemistically called the Syrian rebels. Washington declared some time ago that the red line that would bring Syria under Washingtons military attack was the Assad governments use of chemical weapons of mass destruction against Washingtons mercenaries. Once this announcement was made, everyone with a brain immediately knew that Washington would fabricate false intelligence that Assad had used chemical weapons, just as Washington presented to the United Nations the intentional lie via Secretary of State Colin Powell that Saddam Hussein in Iraq had dangerous weapons of mass destruction. Remember National Security Advisor Condi Rices image of a mushroom cloud over American cities? Propagandistic lies were Washingtons orders of the day. And they still are. Now Washington has fabricated the false intelligence, and president obama has announced it with a straight face, that Syrias Assad has used sarin gas on several occasions and that between 100 and 150 of his own people, a euphemism for the US supplied foreign mercenaries, have been killed by the weapon of mass destruction. Think about that for a minute. As unfortunate as is any death from war, is 100-150 deaths mass destruction? According to low-ball estimates, the US-sponsored foreign mercenary invasion of Syria has cost 93,000 lives, of which 150 deaths amounts to 0.0016%. If we round up, Washingtons 150 deaths comes to two-thousands of one percent. Yes, I know. Washingtons position makes no sense. But when has it ever made any sense? Lets stretch our minds just a tiny bit farther. Assad knows about Washingtons red line. It has been repeated over and over in order to create in the minds of the distracted American public that there is a real, valid reason for attacking Syria. Why would Assad use the proscribed weapons of mass destruction in order to kill a measly 100-150 mercenaries when his army is mopping up the US mercenaries without the use of gas and when Assad knows that the use of gas brings in the US military against him? As the Russian government made clear, Washingtons accusation is not believable. No informed person could possibly believe it. No doubt, many Americans wearing patriotism on their sleeves will fall for Washingtons latest lie, but no one else in the world will. Even Washingtons NATO puppets calling for attacking Syria know that the justification for the attack is a lie. For the NATO puppets, Washingtons money overwhelms integrity, for which the rewards are low. The Russians certainly know that Washington is lying. The Russian Foreign Minister Larov said: The [Assad] government, as the opposition is saying openly, is enjoying military success on the ground. The [Assad] regime isnt driven to the wall. What sense is there for the regime to use chemical armsespecially in such small amounts. Larov is a relatively civilized person in the role of Russias main diplomat. However, other Russian officials can be more pointed in their dismissal of Washingtons latest blatant lies. Yury Ushakov, an aide to Russian President Putin said: The Americans tried to present us with information on the use of chemical weapons by the [Assad] regime, but frankly we thought that it was not convincing. We wouldnt like to invoke references to [the infamous lies of] Secretary of State Powell [at the UN alleging Iraqi WMD], but the facts dont look convincing in our eyes. Aleksey Pushkov, the chairman of the Russian Dumas Foreign Affairs Committee, cut to the chase. The data about Assads use of chemical weapons is fabricated by the same facility that made up the lies about Saddam Husseins weapons of mass destruction. Obama is walking George W. Bushs path. Here in America no one will ever hear straight talk like this from the US presstitutes. Orwellian double-speak is now the language of the United States government. Secretary of State john kerry condemned Assad for harming peace talks while the US arms its Syrian mercenaries. Washingtons double-speak is now obvious to the world. Not only Assad, but also the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, and every US puppet state which includes all of NATO and Japan, are fully aware that Washington is again lying through its teeth. The Russians, Chinese, and Iranians are trying to avoid confrontation with Washington, as war with the modern nuclear weapons would destroy all life on planet earth. What is striking is that despite 24/7 brainwashing by the presstitutes, a large majority of the American population opposes obamas war on Syria. This is good news. It means more Americans are developing the ability to think independently of the lies Washington feeds to them. What the neocon nazis, the bush/obama regime, and the presstitute media have made clear is that Washington is going to push its agenda of world hegemony to the point of starting World War III, which, of course, means the end of life on earth. Russia and China, either one of which can destroy the United States, have learned that the US government is a liar and cannot be trusted. The Libyan no-fly policy to which Russia and China agreed turned out to be a NATO air attack on the Libyan army so that the CIA-sponsored mercenaries could prevail. Russia and China, having learned their lesson, are protesting Washingtons assault on Syria that Washington pretends is a civil war. If Syria falls, Russia and China know that Iran is next. Iran is Russias underbelly, and for China Iran is 20% of its energy imports. Both Russian and Chinese governments know that after Iran falls, they are next. There is no other explanation for Washington surrounding Russia with missile bases and surrounding China with naval and air bases. Both Russia and China are now preparing for the war that they see as inevitable. Washingtons crazed, demented drive for world hegemony is bringing unsuspecting Americans up against two countries with hydrogen bombs whose combined population is five times the US population. In such a conflict everyone dies. Considering the utterly insane government ruling in Washington, if human life exists in 2020, it will be a miracle. All the worry about future Medicare and Social Security deficits is meaningless. There will be no one here to collect the benefits.

1	Despite coming down on it pretty hard, area man Doug Grissett maintained his position Thursday that it is not broken. 'I didn't hear a pop,' said Grissett, claiming that it only hurts a little when you push it right here. Grissett also confirmed that he can move it like this, and like this, but when he tries to move it like this, ah fuck. He added, 'This happened once last August, the same thing. It's probably nothing.' At press time, it has swelled up to the size of a cantaloupe. 
1	While noting that they match 99 percent of incoming freshmen by compatibility, officials from Boston Universitys Office of Residence Life admitted Tuesday that every once in a while they get a kick out of pairing up roommates who will absolutely fucking despise one another. Most of the time we look at admitted students questionnaires on tidiness and study habits to find the most suitable matches, but every so often we let ourselves have a little fun by putting two people together who will make each others every moment in the dorm a living nightmare, said the departments director, David Zamojski, adding that his staffers cant help chuckling to themselves whenever they imagine that small handful of students who arrive each year and realize within the first 24 hours that they want nothing more than to get the hell out of their arrangement as soon as possible. We want the vast majority of matriculating students to have a relaxed, enjoyable freshman year, so we pair them with someone who has similar preferences and tendencies. However, from time to time well go ahead and throw an asthmatic in with a chain-smoker, or an early riser with someone who plays loud music all night. Its a real treat for us. Zamojski added that if a student ever felt too uncomfortable in their living situation, they could always be reassigned to a new roommate whos weird as fuck but at least tolerable. 
1	After watching his brother-in-law wow his nieces and nephews during a family reunion with his ability to dunk a basketball and his willingness to let them ride around in the back of his pickup truck, Glenn Daniels, 32, realized Sunday that he is not the family's cool uncle. 'I thought the kids liked my disconnected thumb trick, but after watching them with their Uncle David [Fineman], I realized they were just humoring me all along,' said Daniels, whose Incredible Hulk necktie was no match for Fineman's remote-control toy helicopter. 'Maybe it's time for me to settle down and become the uncle who's respected 20 years later for being low-key and dependable.' Daniels said he can take solace in the fact that he is not the creepy uncle, a role family members agree is definitively filled by Daniels' quiet brother Joseph. 
1	Members of the Schiller family reported Monday that homemaker Caryn Schiller, 43, is struggling with a severe Rubbermaid addiction. 'We scheduled a family intervention after she bought a 1.2-quart 'EZ-Topps' Rectangle for potato-chip storage,' husband Frank Schiller said. 'She broke down and admitted she has a problem. It's in God's hands now.' In 1999, Schiller spent more than $1,400 supporting her Rubbermaid habit. 
3	Stanford researchers conducting study to find out what metadata can show NSA about your personal lifeMadison Ruppert The NSA has collected metadata on millions of Americans and others around the world. Documents revealed in June of this year that Verizon was ordered to hand over all records for U.S. customers to the NSA. Since then, reports of the NSAs ability to create complex pattern of life profiles for millions of people have also emerged, among many other related reports. In order to show just how revealing the metadata can be, researchers Jonathan Mayer and Patrick Mutchler created the Android app MetaPhone. The app collects a persons metadata including call logs and basic data from Facebook accounts in order to build a profile based on data similar to what the NSA gathers. Mayer points out that some say the NSA program has little impact on privacy and is not really surveillance since it just collects metadata. Like many computer scientists, we strongly disagree, Mayer wrote. Phone metadata is inherently revealing. We want to rigorously prove itfor the public, for Congress, and for the courts. Device data will include records about your recent calls and text messages, the researchers said, according to WorldNetDaily. Social network data will include your profile, connections and recent activity. The data will be stored and analyzed at Stanford, then deleted at the end of the study. Research staff will take reasonable precautions to secure the data in transit, storage, analysis, and destruction. After just two weeks of conducting the study, the researchers have already shown that they can automatically predict a participants relationship status using metadata. Even though only one in four subjects had their Facebook account configured to display relationship status to a stranger, the researchers still found out about their targets relationships. Their current system, however, has a bit of a tradeoff. If they want to get relatively few singles wrong, they can correctly guess around 60 percent of individuals with significant others. If they accept getting 33 percent of singles wrong, they can get over 80 percent of individuals with significant others right. These are, to emphasize, preliminary results. We will have more, better, and higher confidence findings as additional users (like you!) participate, the researchers wrote, noting that it is just a first step towards confirming just how important metadata is. Mayer told MIT Technology Review that they believe metadata can reveal a great deal of private information about a persons personal life. Our hypothesis is that phone metadata is packed with meaning, he said. MIT Technology Review notes that this research could make waves outside of just debates around policy and legal concerns about domestic surveillance. They point out that private industry has joined the datamining frenzy, with some telecommunications companies monetizing their own customers metadata. Just how much personal information can be obtained through this type of metadata analysis remains to be seen and the researchers have not revealed how long they will be collecting data. Yet if what was accomplished after just two weeks is any indicator, they might be able to find out quite a bit indeed.

2	VIDEO: Reporter Calls Out Al Sharpton For Racism, Destroys Him To His Face Lately, Al Sharpton has proven that his criminal background is more than just a rumor. Infowars reported that Sharpton was converted into a snitch for the FBI in 1983, after he was caught on tape negotiating a cocaine deal. Recently, when Sharpton stepped out of his car in Missouri, he was surrounded by a group of reporters anxious to ask him questions about the incident. One reporter clearly caught Sharpton off guard with the conversation below: Adam Sharp: Sir, the term Snitches Get Snitches was spray painted on the burned out QuikTrip. Since you are a federal snitch, sir, do you fear for your life? Al Sharpton: Im not a snitch. But today I want to tell the feds about a cop that needs to go to jail. Sharp: Are you in fear for your life being a federal informant and Sharpton: I want to inform on this policeman today. Sharp: Are you here to snitch on the rioters? Are you here to work with your FBI partners? Sharpton: (no response) What do you think? Is Sharpton guilty?

2	Senator Moves To Block Current Legislation From Putting Harriet Tubman On $20 Bill According to recent reports, Republican Rep. Steve King of Iowa is taking a stand in an attempt to keep Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. In legislation introduced last week, King attempted to block the Treasury Department from replacing Jackson with Harriet Tubman. The Huffington Post reports that the amendment seeks to bar the Treasury Department from spending funds to redesign paper money or coin currency. If the measure is approved, plans to replace the seventh president with abolitionist Tubman would come to a halt. That means that the civil rights icon would not appear on the bill. In April, the Treasury Department announced their plans to make the change. The decision was part of a strategy to put a female on U.S. currency for the 100-year anniversary of womens right to vote in 2020. As it stands, Tubman could be the first black woman featured on American currency. King hopes to attach the legislation to a broader bill authorizing the Treasurys budget, according to the Huffington Post. What do you think of Kings proposal? 
1	In an effort to forestall the nations decline in biodiversity and ecological resources, representatives from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced an expansive new initiative Wednesday aimed at the conservation of whatevers left. Speaking at a morning press conference, EPA officials told reporters that their new $70 million Save What We Can campaign is directed toward protecting the nations remaining plant and animal populations, as well as its lakes, marshes, woodlands, and other habitats insofar as those things are still around. By working together with scientists, lawmakers, and various conservation groups, we hope to preserve those ecosystems and forms of wildlife that have actually managed to hang in there for this long, said EPA administrator Gina McCarthy, calling for broad-based environmental stewardship to maintain any natural areas that may still contain a handful of species here and there. Bears, flowers, tree frogs, maybe even a river or twoif theyre still out there, well do our best to find and conserve them. Basically, whichever organisms are living right now, were going try to keep them alive, she continued. If thats still a possibility. As outlined by McCarthy, the EPA will in the coming months award several dozen grants for research projects aimed at locating any biomes that still have enough flora and fauna and untarnished natural resources such that they remain able to function. Additionally, the agency affirmed its commitment to deploying its personnel nationwide to do whatever can be done at this point to safeguard areas that may still contain clean air, clean water, and land thats not completely covered in refuse and filth. Specifically, McCarthy said the campaign will seek to rescue the countrys extant reptiles, estuaries, some butterflies and, who knows, maybe some coral reefs hopefully, with the EPA chief noting that such threatened ecological assets could possibly persevere if the agency is able to reach them before they die off for good, assuming theyre still in existence in the first place. There are a lot of ecosystems that are long gone, but it should be noted that there are also a few that have somehow managed to make it this far, so its important for everyone to do their part to help ensure those remaining parts of nature continue to survive, McCarthy said. For example, if you come across any plants in your community or maybe some squirrels or a bird of some kind, we ask that you not kill or destroy them. And both individuals and industries should try to avoid putting garbage and chemical runoff into lakes and ponds. You see, a few fish could still be living in those waters, so doing that might kill them, which is actually the opposite of what were trying to do. So if everyone could just try to rein in that kind of behavior if you can, it would really help us out. While the EPAs Save What We Can campaign is significantly less ambitious than previous measures to encourage the environments well-being, McCarthy admitted such past effortsincluding attempts to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions and foster a nationwide switch to clean energywere pretty unrealistic, noting that the agency just has to make do with what little resources remain. However, McCarthy emphasized that Save What We Can would ultimately have enormous benefits, for a while, theoretically, as long as a few still-living things eventually cropped up somewhere. Weve come to realize that any measures aimed at restoring the environment to its former health and vitality or those that try to help a dwindling species recover and thrive really arent at all feasible for us any longer, McCarthy said. But through this new initiative, we at least have the opportunity to keep the environment going for a little while longer, which is better than nothing. Of course, thats only until our funding is cut even further, McCarthy added. Then, you know, the environments pretty much on its own. 
1	According to a Labor Department report released Monday, Americans who lost their jobs in the past year are doing little to aid the recovery of the nation's economy. 'Unemployed Americans are neglecting their patriotic duties by spending far less than the gainfully employed,' the report read. 'Until these laid-off workers start pitching in and buying things, America's economy will continue to stagnate.' The report did note that jobless citizens have strongly supported America's fortified-wine industry. 
2	Hells Angels Buy Bikes For Poor Kids According to recent reports, a group of Hells Angels members just visited Fresno, Californiabut its not what you think. The motorcyclists reportedly headed into a Walmart on Black Friday in order to purchase their entire supply of bicycles to donate to poor children. The men and women reportedly stood in line so that they could take advantage of the special prices and optimize their purchases. The bicycles were reportedly donated to the Poverello House, a nonprofit organization in Fresno that strives to improve the lives of the needy and the homeless. A video of the event was posted by The Fresno Bee and has just gone viral. What do you think? Do we need more people like this in the world? 
3	7 Examples of Police State Technology Making Our Rights Obsolete as we Head into 2015By Mac Slavo The year 2014 has made it very clear that privacy is under threat, and the situation is not likely to improve. Mass surveillance which became a national issue via the Edward Snowden leaks is not subsiding or under reform; instead, it is becoming more bold and complex with each passing day. It would take several books to catalog the myriad ways in which the rights of The People have been casually infringed upon by various levels of government just in years since 9/11 and the introduction of the PATRIOT Act. And its not only federal agencies like the NSA, Homeland Security and the FBI that are taking liberties with our umm liberties; it is local police, too. The rise of technology is rapidly fueling these agencies with data and intelligence with very little oversight and even less pause for reflection to use these powerful abilities wisely and, yes, judiciously. Here are just a few major areas where privacy has lost badly to surveillance technology in 2014. Not that anyone is paying attention, but they are worth reflecting upon soon hopefully before it is too late to turn things back around: True, this technology has been in use for several years now and has been demonstrated at protests such as the those held outside of the G20 in Pittsburgh, Toronto and other locales. But the events in Ferguson really allowed this brand of crowd control to come of age. This and other key protests have seemingly justified a massive police response for just about anything now but you know, the first amendment is still respected and all. The Daily Sheeple reported: Ferguson police have stocked up on less-lethal ammunition in the last few months including hornets nest CS sting grenades, which shoot out dozens of rubber bullets and a powdered chemical agent upon detonation, tear gas, riot gear, plastic handcuffs and the like in the lead up to the decision which is expected to come any time now. St Louis County police have spent $172,669 on this stuff just since August. The Pentagons 1033 surplus program, which hands out everything from MRAP armored vehicles, to bulletproof vests, assault rifles, and other military weapons to domestic law enforcement agencies, is one of the major reasons that ordinary police departments, including those in small towns, are gearing up as for battle and that includes Ferguson: The Department of Defense Excess Property Program (1033 Program) is authorized under federal law and managed through the Defense Logistics Agencys Law Enforcement Support Office (LESO) in Ft. Belvoir, Va. The 1033 Program provides surplus DoD military equipment to state and local civilian law enforcement agencies for use in counter-narcotics and counter-terrorism operations, and to enhance officer safety. The Missouri Department of Public Safety is the sponsoring state agency responsible for administration of the 1033 Program in Missouri. Fingerprints and iris scans are becoming normalized as identifiers on mobile phones, including the iPhone 5, computers and other platforms. Increasingly, technology including devices used by police are utilizing other bodily features (in addition to fingerprints and eyes) to identify you, including ears, noses, heart rate (via electrocardiogram), blood vein matching, your scent or smell and even butt biometrics no joke which will allow smart car seats to identify the sitter based on their unique posture. While these are surely being integrated into law enforcement devices, they are also becoming the mainstays of wearables, the new trendy technology that is collecting data on all of those using it to track health progress, etc. Surveillance cameras have already been used to identify you by your walk for several years now, but advances have allowed technology to even identify the person wearing a camera, such as a police officer with a mounted body cam, by just 4 seconds of footage, revealing a biometric fingerprint of the individual. Of course, roadside blood draws have already entered the picture in law enforcement work, including numerous locales that have implemented mandatory policies during stops. This is sure to pick up. In Seattle, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently conducted a paid, voluntary survey of drivers who received up to $60 to give blood and breath samples at a roadside stop in an effort to study how many people drive impaired. Vocative published a long and unsettling list of apps for smart phones and other similar devices that all collect untold amounts of information about you every day. Whether you realize it or not, permissions for apps routinely allow the collection and sharing of such information as your contact and address book, your text message, audio recorded from your devices microphone, your call log and much more. Yes, this is really happening, so beware if you are using mobile apps including: AntiVirus Security, Viber, Facebook, 360 Security (Antivirus), Tango Messenger, WhatsApp Messenger, Skype, GO Launcher EX, WeChat, CM Security, Waze Social GPS Maps Traffic, BBM, LINE Free Calls Messages, Clean Master Phone Boost, BU Battery Saver, Googles Chrome Browser, Twitter, Maps, Instagram, YouTube, Dolphin Browser, Castle Clash and Trivia Crack. and be sure to actually read over the privacy policy and Terms of Service before accepting or installing anything. Considering that Angry Birds and Candy Crush were admittedly used to collect surveillance data for the NSA (also revealed in 2014), and law enforcement now regularly investigate persons of interest based upon social media posts and cell phone data, there is no telling how many of these apps may be drawing unwanted suspicion your way whether you have anything to hide or not. Need we remind you of all the telecom and Internet firms who, according to the Edward Snowden leaks, shared data willingly with the NSA? 2014 is the year that much has come to light about the very secret and awfully quiet use of a data sweeping technology that has increasingly been used by agencies including the FBI, local law enforcement, and likely private, public and foreign intelligence agencies and even military units though, due to extreme secrecy, it is just too difficult to know for sure. Moreover, it emerged in 2014 that the FBI has been pressuring police departments to keep quiet about the use of StingRay, which it has also not been obtaining warrants before putting to use: Not only are local police departments across the United States increasingly relying on so-called StingRay devices to conduct surveillance on cell phone users, but cops are being forced to keep quiet about the operations, new documents reveal. Recent reports have indicated that law enforcement agencies from coast to coast have been turning to IMSI-catcher devices, like the StingRay sold by Floridas Harris Corporation, to trick ordinary mobile phones into communicating device-specific International Mobile Subscriber Identity information to phony cell towers a tactic that takes the approximate geolocation data of all the devices within range and records it for investigators. Recently, the Tallahassee Police Department in the state of Florida was found to have used their own cell site simulator at least 200 times to collect phone data without once asking for a warrant during a three-year span, and details about the use of StingRays by other law enforcement groups continue to emerge on the regular. Although the majority of the December 2012 document is redacted, a paragraph from FBI special agent Laura Laughlin to Police of Chief Donald Ramsdell reveals that Tacoma officers were told they couldnt discuss their use of IMSI-catchers with anyone police in Tacoma were forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement, or NDA, with the Federal Bureau of Investigation before they could begin conducting surveillance on cell users with a Harris-sold StingRay. It further emerged in 2014 that the Justice Department was overseeing the use of small Cessna aircraft using dirtbox technology to collect cell phone data over major urban centers across the nation to pinpoint suspects while scooping up information from thousands of cell phone users. Heres what the Wall Street Journal revealed: The Justice Department is scooping up data from thousands of mobile phones through devices deployed on airplanes that mimic cellphone towers, a high-tech hunt for criminal suspects that is snagging a large number of innocent Americans, according to people familiar with the operations. The U.S. Marshals Service program, which became fully functional around 2007, operates Cessna aircraft from at least five metropolitan-area airports, with a flying range covering most of the U.S. population, according to people familiar with the program. The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals made a decision on the use of doppler radar technology for use in the execution of an arrest warrant. The Washington Post considered: the grave Fourth Amendment issues raised by use of a Doppler radar device capable of detecting from outside the home the presence of human breathing and movement within But it is also fair to ask, who is watching the watchers for the use of this technology, anyway? Is this (and much more) being used frequently by authorities or private agencies to collect data in pursuit of investigations, including before the burden of reasonable suspicion has been met? Is such a radar sweep a violation of the 4th Amendment and other rights if the police dont already have reasonable suspicion? The possibilities are foggy and a bit unnerving. We dont normally encounter this question because we normally understand the uses and limits of investigatory tools. If the officer looked through the window and didnt see any other people, for example, we could intuitively factor that into the reasonable suspicion inquiry without having to think about burdens of proof. Im less sure what were supposed to do when the government use a suspicion-testing technological device with unknown capabilities. The opinion relies on the language from Buie that the sweep lasts no longer than is necessary to dispel the reasonable suspicion of danger, and thus asks whether there was evidence that the Doppler device dispel[led] the reasonable suspicion. But its not clear to me that this language from Buie applies here, as it was referring to evidence after reasonable suspicion was established and the entry was made rather than before. But for the average person, the potential for abuse is pretty clear here. One commenter noted: Use of this technology on a home is a search. The police dont know what or who is in the house they use this technology to survey (i.e. search) the house to determine information that they cant ascertain without the home owners permission. 6. Pre-crime Threat Assessment Database: The 9-1-1 emergency infrastructure now carries a real time threat assessment database known as Beware, that gives police and first responders a color-coded threat level, with green signifying no threat, yellow identifying a valid threat and red urging immediate caution. The catch? The threat assessment is not just based on the obvious stuff like prior arrests and criminal history, but also compiles billions of consumer records and, yes, social media. In fact, the majority of police now use social media in their investigations the Beware database just makes it instant and universal. Even worse, the co-founder of the technology said it flags offensive speech in its threat assessment you dont even have to make an online threat to be considered a threat, you just have be considered offensive! And who decides that, anyway? Not you. You arent even allowed to know what has been entered in your privately-held records: Your local police department is likely using numerous tools and applications that might determine how you get treated during a routine traffic stop, or in response to your neighbors call about loud music. One such application, Beware, has been sold to police departments since 2012. It can be accessed on any Internet-enabled device, including tablets, smartphones, laptop and desktop computers, while responders are en route to, or at the location of a call. This app explores billions of records in social media postings, commercial and public databases for law enforcement needs, churning out risk profiles in real time. Beware algorithm assigns a score and threat rating to a person green, yellow or red and sends that rating to a requesting officer. Worst of all, this information is not made available to the very person whose threat rating is being appraised. You have no ability to dispute being wrongly designated a high-risk potential offender. And it stands to reason that this concerning database is going to be used against more than just serious criminals. The potential for abuse and use against gun owners and those exercising political speech, including offensive or less-than-responsible online rhetoric, is perhaps inevitable and unavoidable with this system, which as been in use for now for several years. Whats worse? So-called predictive policing is just in its infancy there are multiple platforms still finding a market, and their invasive capabilities are sure to grow in magnitude as the years go on. A federally-mandated network called FirstNet is being constructed, using federal funding, are set to begin building a $7-billion nationwide first-responder wireless network that will incorporate these emergency powers into every agency and locale across the country. 7. License Plate Scanning and Traffic Monitoring: There are already issues for gun owners in Maryland, where concealed carry permits issued by other states are not recognized. Traffic cops there recently pulled over a licensed gun owner in good legal standing from Florida to search his vehicle for a s specific firearm his Kel-Tec .38 semi-automatic handgun while he and his family were traveling through the state. As it turned out, the gun was locked in a safe at home in Florida, and the incident ended in a traffic warning for speeding. But what prompted the preemptive search, and how did police know know this man was a concealed carry? Likely the stop-and-search was the result of police work involving routine license scanning, traffic monitoring and database threat assessment using software like Beware, which has already been used in some 38 million emergency calls across the country. Only a few days ago, the mainstream rehashed the fact that the EZ Pass and other toll road transponders are not just used for collecting toll information, but are used for traffic surveillance and police investigations as well. Forbes privacy advocate Kashmir Hill wrote about an electronics tinkerer who did an analysis of the many ways his car could be tracked and stumbled upon something rather interesting: his E-ZPass, which he obtained for the purpose of paying tolls, was being used to track his car in unexpected places, far away from any toll booths. Police subsequently copped to the use of this device in surveillance and tracking activities: Its part of Midtown in Motion, an initiative to feed information from lots of sensors into New Yorks traffic management center. A spokesperson for the New York Department of Transportation, Scott Gastel, says the E-Z Pass readers are on highways across the city, and on streets in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Staten Island, and have been in use for years. The city uses the data from the readers to provide real-time traffic information, as for this tool Notably, the fact that E-ZPasses will be used as a tracking device outside of toll payment, is not disclosed anywhere that I could see in the terms and conditions. They are also used by toll companies themselves, as USA Today disclosed: Warning to motorists: Dont speed in the toll lanes. E-Z Pass is watching. Several states, including New York, Maryland and Pennsylvania, say they monitor speeds through the fast pass toll lanes and will suspend your E-Z Pass for multiple speeding violations. Years ago, a hacker explained how the the California DOT and law enforcement were able to use toll transponders as an active homing beacon capable of zeroing in on a suspect or monitoring the total flow of traffic over a given period of time: Each radio frequency id (RFID) transponder sends a unique identification code to scanners positioned at toll booths. A tolling authority computer matches this ID code with credit card and other payment information to collect the toll [even] an inexpensive RFID scanner [can be used] to read the ID code of any vehicle remotely, essentially turning the transponder into a homing beacon with a maximum range of about 100 yards. You can use it for tracking, Lawson said. Once youve seen the car, you can pick it out in a crowd. That is exactly what Californias 511 system does. Scanners placed throughout the highway network track the movement of motorists with toll transponders as a means of monitoring traffic flow. According to the California Department of Transportation, the system tracks individual ID codes, storing a movement history for each particular car in a database for 24 hours. Additionally, both Homeland Security and the IRS were in the news this year regarding their use of data collected by both public and private agencies using license-plate tracking systems: The Department of Homeland Security wants a private company to provide a national license-plate tracking system that would give the agency access to vast amounts of information from commercial and law enforcement tag readers, according to a government proposal that does not specify what privacy safeguards would be put in place. It is important to note that this database would be run by a commercial enterprise, and the data would be collected and stored by the commercial enterprise, not the government, she said. Fox News carried further details: In June 2012, the IRS awarded Vigilant a $1,188 contract for access to nationwide data, according to federal procurement records compiled by the news agency. The contract ended in May 2013, according to the records. Especially with the IRS, I dont know why these agencies are getting access to this kind of information, Lynch said. These systems treat every single person in an area as if theyre under investigation for a crime that is not the way our criminal justice system was set up or the way things work in a democratic society. You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com. Government agencies created with disregard for the constitutional checks and balances, must be shut down completely. Government was never created to be our masters, and they will learn this lesson painfully when they push their terror agenda into full operation.

1	Days after the player was stretchered off the field during a game against the St. Louis Rams, sources confirmed Thursday that while the knee injury suffered by San Francisco 49ers backup safety Corey Matson will ultimately cause him chronic and excruciating pain for the rest of his life, it is thankfully not expected to end his season. He suffered a bad sprain in his right knee on Sunday, but Im happy to report that Corey will not require any surgery that would otherwise sideline him for the rest of the year, team physician Timothy McAdams told reporters, referring to an injury that will lead to Matson experiencing persistent stabbing pains for the duration of his life whenever he bends his knee past a 45-degree angle and will eventually result in the development of early-onset osteoarthritis. Given the nature of this type of injury, he should be able to return to action in four to six weeks. Though, truth be told, I wouldnt be surprised to see him on the field earlier than that. Hes a fighter. Reached for comment, Matson claimed to be fully prepared to play through the pain, thereby ensuring that the full extent of the damage to his knee will be permanent. 
1	After hyping the outing with several days of text messages, including 'things are going to get crazy,' 'the Bod Squad is back in action,' and 'OMG! GNO!,' friends Tina Zayac, Heather Thibert, and Christina Roath refused to admit Sunday that their girls' night out was a disappointment. 'It was fun,' said Thibert, 28, who returned to her apartment at 11:30 p.m., despite earlier promises to 'stay out all night' and 'get dolled up and get [her] dance on.' The girls reportedly waited for a table at Blue Grotto for more than an hour, chose not to get wine at the restaurant because it was too expensive, and concluded the evening by spending two hours at a karaoke bar trying to convince Roath to sing 'Total Eclipse Of The Heart' with them before ultimately deciding they weren't in the mood for karaoke. Thibert added, 'Just me and the girls, like old times. Even though Becky [Traber] didn't show up, cuz she always flakes out.' 
2	Juan Williams Just Got Booted, His Replacement Is Someone You Havent Seen In A While... In breaking new reports that have Fox News fans cheering, Juan Williams has announced he is leaving his panel position on The Five by Bob Beckel. Beckel was let go from the network just one year prior. We tried to work with Bob for months, but we couldnt hold The Five hostage to one mans personal issues, Fox said in a statement at the time. He took tremendous advantage of our generosity, empathy and goodwill and we simply came to the end of the road with him. I just cant understand the anger in Fox statement, Beckel responded on Twitter. I was healing from major back surgery, I could not walk. I took no advantage I got well. Now, it appears Beckel will be returning to the network. Im thrilled for the opportunity to go home again and join my television family around the table of The Five, Beckel wrote. I have no doubt it will be a vigorous yet entertaining debate. Though Beckel is one of the only liberals to work on Fox, he is monumentally more tolerable than Juan Williams. What do you think? Did Fox make the right choice here? 
2	Pepsi CEO Who Attacked Trump Learns Her Fate... After Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in the presidential election last week, Pepsi CEO Indra Nooyi made several controversial comments about the new president-elect to the press. These remarks are quickly coming back to bite her. I had to answer a lot of questions from my daughters, from our employees, Nooyi said just two days after the election. They were all in mourning. Our employees were all crying, she continued. And the question that theyre asking, especially those who are not white, Are we safe? Women are asking, Are we safe? LGBT people are asking, Are we safe? I never thought I would have to answer these questions. Nooyi has been a vocal Clinton supporter, so her position isnt entirely surprising. However, her implications that people are in mourning and fearing for their lives are extreme. Americans everywhere were turned off by her comments and decision to interject politics into her soda brand. Now, reports are rolling in that Pepsico stock has dropped 2% since Nooyi launched her attack on Trump. 
1	It is a mere two weeks after the release of the summer blockbuster Mission: Impossible, and Lori Skedelesky, an associate editor at Entertainment Weekly, can claim responsibility for one of the most clever turns of phrase in recent journalistic history: Cruise Control. Im very proud of it, says Skedelesky of the headline, which appeared in the summer movie preview issue of the magazine. I was sitting around racking my brains, when all of a sudden it occurred to me that [the actor]s last name seemed somehow familiar to me. On a hunch, I looked it up in a dictionary. Sure enough, I found itand not just as a proper noun, but as a regular noun and a verb. The dictionary hunt proved a bonanza for Skedelesky, who discovered to her amazement that cruise not only is a word in its own right, but also forms part of many phrases, or groups of words commonly used together. One of these was cruise control, which Skedelesky notes is a feature in modern automobiles that allows them to maintain a constant speed. But what relevance does an automotive convenience have to the mega-star of Losin It and Taps? Thats where Skedeleskys training as a journalist came into play. The tenacious Skedelesky, following her instincts and the lead of popular literary critics like Jacques Derrida and Cindy Adams, decided to take the phrase cruise control and deconstruct it into its constituent partsnamely, cruise and control. When she didpresto! It was a real Eureka! moment, says Skedelesky, who earned her stripes at Columbia Universitys School of Journalism and TV Guide. Hes not only the star of the movie, but its producer. Now, everyone knows that producers have a lot of power, or control, over a film. So, the kind of power the producer of Mission: Impossible has is cruise control. Capitalize the two words, and you have a very concise way of expressing the motif of the article. But conciseness isnt its only virtue, notes Harold Bloom, Professor Emeritus of Literature at Yale University. To those readers already familiar with the phrase cruise control from its usual context, the sudden realization of its applicability in an entirely different area of human experience will send a frisson of delight through their veins, in recognition of the principle of synchronicity at once so ubiquitous yet so hidden in our daily lives. The modest Skedelesky admits that the rest of Entertainment Weeklys staff is abuzz over her work. In fact, her boss, senior editor Denise Bankman, told reporters that associate editors usually dont have the experience to come up with headlines by themselves, but that they are encouraged to pitch ideas at the creative meetings each week. To expect that level of idea from an associate editor is unrealistic, Bankman says. But every now and then, one of them strikes gold. Right after she came to me with the idea, I told Lori, Welcome to the big leagues. But beyond the 152-person editorial staff of the magazine, the two-word masterpiece earned Skedelesky an even bigger fanMr. Cruise Control himself! He called me yesterday, blushes Skedelesky. Well, not really. It was his publicists assistant, and she said how much Mr. Cruise enjoyed the article and thanked me for doing my part to make the movie a success. Hes incredibly down-to-earth. Fresh off her headline-making success with Tom Cruise, Skedelesky has been assigned another celebrity-profile article, this time of Friends David Schwimmer. Skedelesky says mums the word about the headline of the Schwimmer piece, but she assures us that it goes even further into the realm of wordplay, and adds cryptically, People who use pools to exercise will particularly enjoy it. 
1	Though insisting that she had been meaning to read Eric Schlosser's book Fast Food Nation ever since it was published in 2001, Secretary Of Agriculture Ann M. Veneman finally got around to doing so just this month. 'Wow, I had no idea that commercial beef ranches packed so many head of cattle into such a small space,' Veneman said Tuesday. 'It's disgusting! And all that about the flavoring from animal products being used to make McDonald's french friesthat was a real eye-opener. Mark my words, something must be done.' Veneman vowed that, upon completing Fast Food Nation, she will immediately go out and buy Rachel Carson's Silent Spring. 
1	After months of being taught to develop courage, inner strength, and other values of the martial arts, Daniel Finkelstein finally achieved the self-confidence necessary to stand up to his parents and quit taking karate lessons, the area sixth-grader reported Monday. Karate classes like these have given 11-year-old Daniel Finkelstein, left, abilities beyond his years to abandon things halfway through. Finkelstein, 11, who was bullied into beginner's classes at Dragon Karate and Tae Kwon Do Academy by his father in July, reportedly drew on a number of recently acquired skills, including poise and self-assurance, when confronting his parents about how much he despised karate. 'Before karate, I used to let everyonemy mom, my dad, even my grandmapush me around,' Finkelstein said. 'They would tell me what to do and I would just roll over and do it, because they were bigger than me and I was scared.' 'If it wasn't for the focus and determination I learned in karate, I would still be in karate right now,' he added. According to Finkelstein, having to punch, kick, and spar with boys twice his size gave him newfound resolve, which the once submissive child would use when he decided he no longer wanted to have to punch, kick, and spar with boys twice his size. 'I never thought I had it in me,' said Finkelstein, who claimed he was prepared to use physical aggression only as a last resort to drop out of the martial arts class. 'It was just like Sensei Steve used to say: 'Only by believing in yourself can you overcome the obstacles that lie ahead.'' Added Finkelstein: 'Thank God I don't have to listen to that crap anymore.' The white-belt also said the lessons he learned could prove valuable should he need to protect himself against any future involvement in swimming or violin lessons. 'It's like there's nothing I can't quit now if I just put my mind to it,' Finkelstein said. 'I bet one day I'll quit going to algebra class, just like my older cousin did.' 'Sensei' Steve Guardino, Finkelstein's former instructor, said he had noticed a distinct difference in the boy since he began, and subsequently stopped, attending the karate course. 'When Daniel first showed up to class, he was like many of the other kids we seetimid, unsure of himself, and very insecure,' Guardino said. 'But look at him now: He's gone.' Finkelstein, who had little athletic inclination before taking karate, has now reported significantly increased energy to avoid taking part in activities he doesn't like. 'When someone suggests doing something lame, I'm the first one off my feet and headed out of that room,' he said. 'It feels amazing.' Daniel's parents, Samantha and Robert Finkelstein, said they were still shocked at the change in their son. 'Not only is Daniel more confident these days, but he's more assertive, better at expressing what he wants and doesn't want, and incredibly determinedit's like he's a whole new kid,' Mr. Finkelstein said. 'I knew we should've put him in soccer instead.'

1	In a crucial, 11th-hour decision for one of the tristate area's largest weekly bargain supplements, Pathmark circular editor in chief Daniel Mauzy boldly opted to run a $0.75-off discount on Snuggle fabric softener as this week's top coupon. 'The fact is, every other circular in town is going to be running this coupon up top, and if we bury it on page eight, we're the ones who are going to look like idiots,' Mauzy said in a hastily convened emergency staff meeting yesterday. 'People want to see more Snuggle on the front page, and I think it's high time we gave the people what they want.' As a reward for his quick thinking and impeccable journalistic instincts, Mauzy was given a small raise and a mail-in two-for-one rebate on Glade PlugIns.

Well, in the latest case, it appears that the LAPD also likes to brutalize people who are riding their bicycle after dark without having their lights on. 34-year-old Brian Cisneros was riding his bicycle to work after dark when he was confronted by police. His description indicates that there was not even a conversation that took place before the police pounced: The decline of American civilization can be seen all around, but perhaps nowhere is it better illustrated than in the worsening behavior of our supposed protectors. Just this past week we have seen that people in Detroit who believed they were being robbed by fake cops, were actually victimized byREAL cops. To better learn how many police departments are devolving into gang-like institutions that are putting real gangs to shame, please listen to the story of a good officer, Justin Hanners, and how he was forced out of his position because he stood for freedom. Note: for legal reasons it should be mentioned that the case of the man getting his faced stomped is under investigation. Read other articles by John Galt Here 
3	They Are Murdering Small Business: The Percentage Of Self-Employed Americans Is At A Record LowMichael Snyder One of the big reasons why there are not enough jobs in America today is because small business creation is way down. As I mentioned yesterday, entrepreneurs and small businesses are being absolutely devastated by rules, regulations, red tape and by oppressive levels of taxation. If anyone doubts that small business in the United States is dying, just look at the charts below. Sadly, this is what the bureaucrats that run things want. They dont want us to be independent of the system. Instead, they are much more comfortable when as many of us as possible are heavily dependent on the system in one way or another. If all of us have to go running to the government or to one of the big corporations for a job, then we are much easier to control. But as the control freaks continue to construct their bureaucratic utopia, they are also killing off what once made the U.S. economy so great. The other day I came across the following two charts in an article by Charles Hugh Smith, and I was absolutely stunned by what I saw. This first chart shows that the number of unincorporated self-employed Americans has dropped back to levels that we have not seen since the mid-1980s even though our population has increased by tens of millions of people since that time But isnt that what we pound into the heads of our children these days? We teach them to work hard in school so that they can get a good job when they grow up. From a very early age we train our children to plug themselves into the system. Not that working for someone else is wrong. Of course not. It is just that we are not fostering a spirit of entrepreneurship in America today. In fact, we seem to be doing everything that we can to kill it off. In a previous article, I detailed how the number of new businesses (and the number of jobs those businesses create) has been steadily declining. In particular, this decline has accelerated dramatically under the Obama administration. According to an analysis of U.S. Department of Labor data performed by economist Tim Kane, the following is how the decline in the number of startup jobs per 1000 Americans breaks down by presidential administration Bush Sr.: 11.3 Is that a good trend or a bad trend? It doesnt take an advanced degree in economics to figure out where things are going. Kane speculated about why we are witnessing such a decline in his paper There is anecdotal evidence that the U.S. policy environment has become inadvertently hostile to entrepreneurial employment. At the federal level, high taxes and higher uncertainty about taxes are undoubtedly inhibiting entrepreneurship, but to what degree is unknown. The dominant factor may be new regulations on labor. The passage of the Affordable Care Act is creating a sweeping alteration of the regulatory environment that directly changes how employers engage their workforces, and it will be some time until those changes are understood by employers or scholars. Separately, there has been a federal crackdown since 2009 by the Internal Revenue Service on U.S. employers that hire U.S. workers as independent contractors rather than employees, raising the question of mandatory benefits. New firms tend to use part-time and contract staffing rather than full-time employees during the startup stage. According to Labor Department data, the typical American today only takes home 70 percent of compensation as pay, while the rest is absorbed by the spiraling cost of benefits (e.g., health insurance). The dilemma for U.S. policy is that an American entrepreneur has zero tax or regulatory burden when hiring a consultant/contractor who resides abroad. But that same employer is subject to paperwork, taxation, and possible IRS harassment if employing U.S.-based contractors. Finally, there has been a steady barrier erected to entrepreneurs at the local policy level. Brink Lindsey points out in his book Human Capitalism that the rise of occupational licensing is destroying startup opportunities for poor and middle class Americans. In my previous article, I also pointed out some of the other statistics that show that small business in America is dying -According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. economy lost more than 220,000 small businesses during the last recession. -As a share of the population, the percentage of Americans that are self-employed fell by more than 20 percent between 1991 and 2010. -As a share of the population, the percentage of new entrepreneurs and business owners dropped by a staggering 53 percent between 1977 and 2010. Unfortunately, this is a crisis that has taken decades to develop and that there are not any easy solutions for. But there are certain factors that should be addressed immediately. The following are some of the things that are contributing to the murder of self-employment and small business in America #1 Taxes: The IRS seems to especially enjoy tormenting entrepreneurs and small businesses. In fact, things have gotten so bad that even late night talk show hosts are joking about it. Recently, NBC Tonight Show host Jay Leno joked that if Barack Obama really wanted to close down Guantanamo Bay, he should do what he always does: declare it a small business and tax it out of existence. #2 Ridiculous Regulations: If you have ever tried to start a small business, you probably know how frustrating it can be dealing with government red tape. In particular, the federal government has burdened our small businesses with gigantic mountains of rules and regulations and it gets worse with each passing day. #3 title=State Governments That Are Openly Hostile To BusinessState Governments That Are Openly Hostile To Business: A perfect example of this is the state of California. In 2011, the state of California ranked 50th out of all 50 states in new business creation, and yet they just continue to pass more legislation that hurts small businesses. #4 Obamacare: Our broken healthcare system is a tremendous burden on small businesses, and Obamacare is going to make things much worse. #5 The One World Trade Agenda: In many industries, U.S. small businesses simply cannot compete against products made by workers that are being paid slave labor wages on the other side of the globe. #6 Predator Corporations: Time after time we have seen corporate giants extract huge tax breaks and other enormous concessions from local officials which give them an overwhelming advantage. But once the corporate giant moves into town, many of the existing small businesses find that they cannot compete and are forced to shut down. #7 Our Corrupt Political System: On the national level, elections are almost always won by the politician that raises the most money. Our politicians know that their careers depend on raising money, so they tend to be very good to those that they get big money from. There is a reason why big corporations spend billions of dollars on campaign contributions and lobbying. They do it because it works. Over the decades, the big corporations have been able to shift the rules of the game massively in their favor, and this has been to the detriment of entrepreneurs and small businesses.

1	At a press conference Monday, American Civil Liberties Union officials announced that the organization will go to court to defend a neo-Nazi group's right to burn down ACLU headquarters. ACLU lawyers Nancy Edelman and Harvey Gross talk to reporters about their fight to allow Nazis to burn down ACLU headquarters on Nov. 25. ACLU president Nadine Strossen told reporters that her organization intends to 'vigorously and passionately defend' the Georgia chapter of the American Nazi Party's First Amendment right to freely express its hatred of the ACLU by setting its New York office ablaze on Nov. 25. 'I am reminded of the words of Voltaire: 'I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,'' Strossen said. 'While the ACLU vehemently disagrees with the idea of Nazis torching this building, the principle of freedom of expression must be supported in all cases. If we take away these Nazis' right to burn down our headquarters, we take away everyone's right to burn down our headquarters.' Buddy Carver, president of the Georgia chapter of the American Nazi Party, praised the ACLU for taking on his case. 'I would like to thank Ms. Strossen and all the other nigger-loving bleeding-heart liberals at the 'ACL-Jew' for defending my constitutional right to express my loathing of them with hundred-foot-high flames,' said Carver, sporting a tan uniform and swastika arm band. 'We must finish the job Hitler was unable to.' ACLU associate director Mel Rosenblatt agreed. 'The real danger here is not the American Nazi Party,' he said. 'The real danger here is what would happen to the rest of us if the Buddy Carvers of this world were not allowed to commit arson against nigger-loving, bleeding-heart-liberal Jew attorneys.' Making the case all the more controversial is the neo-Nazis' demand that the ACLU's entire 315-person staff be in the building at the time of the blaze. Strongly opposing the request are New York City police commissioner William Bratton, fire chief Ed Holm and mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who said that all 315 will die if trapped in the 47-story building during the blaze. ACLU attorneys responded that they will request a federal appeals hearing if the City of New York attempts to stop them and their fellow ACLU employees from perishing in the Nov. 25 blaze. 'Yes, my loving wife Linda and three wonderful children, Ben, Robby and Stephanie, will be devastated when I am killed next month,' ACLU attorney Harvey Gross said. 'But I recognize that, in a very real sense, it would be a victory for Mr. Carver and his fellow hatemongers if I did not burn to death, because their terrible message of bigotry and intolerance would be all the more effective if suppressed.' The Carver case is one of several controversial legal battles with which the ACLU has been involved this judicial year. In State of California v. Tubbs, the organization defended the right of a San Francisco art gallery to display a piece of performance art in which innocent passersby are shot to death by gunmen. In February, the ACLU went to U.S. Appeals Court to defend the Grand Wizard of the Coahoma County, Mississippi, chapter of the Ku Klux Klan's right to beat a black man to death and spray-paint 'White Pride' across his chest. 'We can have no arbitrary setting of limits when it comes to the Bill of Rights,' Strossen said. 'The Constitution does not say, 'You have the right to express these opinions, but not those opinions.' Nor does it say, 'You can express these opinions by word, but not by violence.' For a free society to work, hatred, in all its forms, must be encouraged.' 
3	What Will It Take to Get You to Swallow GMO and Nanotech Foods?Heather Callaghan Apparently you will be the one getting a label if you dont want GMOs or nanoparticles in your food. Read on Previously, research from North Carolina State University and the University of Minnesota showed that people were willing to consume food with nanotechnology (particles, chips for purposes of tracking and changing texture, taste) but they wanted it labeled and were willing to pay more to have nano-free or nano-labeled food. The duo is back to tell you what it would take to get consumers to finally accept genetically modified organisms and nanotech in their food with a dose of chiding, that is. The researchers conducted what they say is a nationally representative survey of 1,117 U.S. consumers. Participants were asked to answer an array of questions that explored their willingness to purchase foods that contained GM tech and foods that contained nanotech. The questions also explored the price of the various foods and whether participants would buy foods that contained nanotech or GM tech if the foods had enhanced nutrition, improved taste, improved food safety, or if the production of the food had environmental benefits. (Hopefully, the questions were asked in a purely theoretical light because so far, GMO and nanotech foods have delivered none of those things.) Dr. Jennifer Kuzma, senior author of a paper on the research and co-director of the Genetic Engineering in Society Center at NC State. (Her position reveals an obvious bias, but wait until you find out what label you get if you dont accept GMOs and nano foods.) In general, people are willing to pay more to avoid GM or nanotech in foods, and people were more averse to GM tech than to nanotech. However, its not really that simple. There were some qualifiers, indicating that many people would be willing to buy GM or nanotech in foods if there were health or safety benefits. They broke the participants up into four groups guess which label you fall into? Therefore, they concluded that if nutrition and safety were promised factors, people would gobble up the benefits. Gotta love those labels Kuzma added: This tells us that GM or nanotech food products have greater potential to be viable in the marketplace if companies focus on developing products that have safety and nutrition benefits because a majority of consumers would be willing to buy those products. From a policy standpoint, it also argues that GM and nanotech foods should be labeled, so that the technology rejecters can avoid them. (You can avoid them, but you will still get called names! emphasis added) Where, praytell, did they find the participants for this survey certainly not in Hawaii, Oregon, or California, where GMOs are considered the bane of environment and health and where people take unadulterated food seriously. GMOs have not delivered on their promises of ending hunger, better health and better environment. The majority of the public remains unaware of unregulated nanotech in their food. No, folks, the purpose of the survey on engineered foods is to engineer YOU. (But of course it has the added benefit of helping food producers to shape market to you.) To blindly accept what is unacceptable or thus, be cast aside. The paper, Heterogeneous Consumer Preferences for Nanotechnology and Genetic-modification Technology in Food Products, is published online in the Journal of Agricultural Economics. Lead author of the paper is Dr. Chengyuan Yue of the University of Minnesota. The paper was co-authored by Shuoli Zhao, a graduate student at UM. The research was supported by a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist.

3	5 Examples of When You Might Not Know What You Are EatingWhen we buy food at the grocery store, many of us expect to get what we think were paying for. But, as it turns out, our food isnt always what we think it is. From the horse meat scandal that is currently rocking the United Kingdom to the widespread realization that the ground beef sold in many U.S. markets is actually a mix of bits of meat, fat, sinew, bloody effluvia, and ammonia dubbed pink slime consumers are continually shown just how at the mercy of industrial food conglomerates we truly are when we go to the grocery store. Here are a few examples that have shown us sometimes our food isnt really what we think it is. Food 1: Olive Oil Would you be surprised, for example, to find out that an astonishing 70 percent of the extra virgin olive oil for sale on the market today is potentially watered down with other types of oils and enhancers to give it the flavor and appearance of olive oil? In December 2011, two Spanish businessmen were sentenced to two years in prison each for selling fake olive oil that was 70-80 percent sunflower oil. An Italian ring involving 60 people and the closure of 90 olive farms and olive oil processing plants was shut down back in 2008. The Guardian reported: Most alarmingly, a study last year by researchers at the University of California, Davis and the Australian Oils Research Laboratory concluded that as much as 69% of imported European olive oil (and a far smaller proportion of native Californian) sold as extra virgin in the delicatessens and grocery stores on the US west coast wasnt what it claimed to be. The issue with olive oil goes way deeper than many realize. Tom Mueller, author of Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil first blew the lid on the olive oil scandal through a New Yorker expos. Mueller is described as The worlds expert on olive oil and olive oil fraud a story of globalization, deception, and crime in the food industry from ancient times to the present, and a powerful indictment of todays lax protections against fake and even toxic food products in the United States. According to the Guardian, extra virgin is still the way to go, since other categories of olive oil labeled simply pure, light oil, straight up olive oil or olive pomace oil have been chemically altered. In fact, The North American Olive Oil Association, is currently suing Kangadis Food saying it falsely labeled its Capatriti brand as olive oil instead of olive pomace oil a fat residue extracted from olive skins and pits using chemical solvents such as the jet fuel additive hexane. For more information on how to know if you are buying real olive oil, visit Truth in Olive Oil.com. Food 2: Tuna In one of the largest seafood fraud investigations ever conducted, conservation group Oceana found that 59 percent more than half of tuna is mislabeled and comprised of fish the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) once banned for human consumption. Oceana DNA tested 1,215 seafood samples from 674 retail outlets across 21 states. After a two year investigation, it was revealed that 33 percent of fish products were not labeled correctly according to FDA guidelines. Sushi sellers were the worst offenders, but the fake fish was found everywhere. As Anthony Gucciardi from Natural Society reported: A whopping 84 percent of white tuna was actually escolar, the snake mackerel fish that causes oily anal leakage and was banned by the FDA until 1992. It is still banned in Japan, Italy, and requires warning labels regarding the leaky discharge in Canada, Sweden, and Denmark. But at least its still fish, right? Im sure that thought makes all those people who spend hours in the bathroom with horrible digestive problems after they eat a can of so-called tuna feel so much better about it. We at Truthstream have also pointed out that you have to read the labels just to know if a can that says, Tuna in water on the front is really only just tuna packed in water. We found at least three examples (and stopped after it made us sad) where tuna is packed in a vegetable broth that includes soy. No further information is given, so whether or not that soy vegetable broth is genetically modified is anyones guess. Considering the majority of soybeans grown in the U.S. are genetically modified, the odds arent too good. Food 3: Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice Ever wonder why bottled orange juice at the store, even the not from concentrate kind, has a consistent taste from bottle to bottle, no matter what time of year you buy it? No matter where it comes from? If you buy PepsiCos Tropicana brand, its going to taste like Tropicana; if you buy Coca Colas Simply Orange or Minute Maid brands, they will taste the same regardless of when or where they are produced. Dont let the not from concentrate tag fool you. Read this description slowly and follow the way companies play on semantics: squeezed from fresh oranges. That isnt the same at all as freshly squeezed orange juice, now is it? As Food Renegade reports, in reality, orange juice is squeezed into large vats where it the oxygen is removed. That way it can be stored up to a year. This process, however, essentially leaves us with big vats of tasteless juice. The solution? Lets find out: When the juice is stripped of oxygen it is also stripped of flavor providing chemicals. Juice companies therefore hire flavor and fragrance companies, the same ones that formulate perfumes for Dior and Calvin Klein, to engineer flavor packs to add back to the juice to make it taste fresh. Flavor packs arent listed as an ingredient on the label because technically they are derived from orange essence and oil. Yet those in the industry will tell you that the flavor packs, whether made for reconstituted or pasteurized orange juice, resemble nothing found in nature. Adding chemically altered flavor packs from orange byproducts kinda takes the sheen off the phrase 100% pure and natural plastered on the side of many grocery store orange juice cartons, doesnt it? One California woman is currentlysuing PepsiCo for its Tropicana orange juice in a federal court on the grounds that such marketing claims found on the juices packaging are false advertising. Bloomberg actually reported that Cokes Simply Orange and Minute Maid brands are made via an algorithm. Using something called the Black Book, revenue analytics consultant and Cokes juice architect Bob Cross says orange juice, is definitely one of the most complex applications of business analytics. It requires analyzing up to 1 quintillion decision variables to consistently deliver the optimal blend, despite the whims of Mother Nature. Mmm. Yummy. Want real orange juice? You might want to squeeze it yourself. Food 4: Honey Have you ever heard of honey laundering? Apparently supply and demand are out of whack here in America, and thus, China has been supplying a large amount of the honey needed to meet demand. Unfortunately, that so-called honey has been cut with all kinds of junk, not the least of which is corn syrup and water. Investigations found cheap Chinese honey also contained antibiotics and pesticides, among other lovely niceties. On top of the issues with the actual ingredients, all this low-grade honey was negatively impacting the economy. The cheap honey was so cheap, it was driving down prices so American producers making actual real honey couldnt compete. To avoid tariffs, Chinese producers were caught shipping their honey to a third country where the product was further watered down and switched to different containers before being imported to the U.S. In February, Immigration and Customs Enforcement charged two domestic honey processors and five individuals involved with federal crimes regarding honey laundering: Honey Holding, doing business as Honey Solutions, of Baytown, Texas, and Groeb Farms Inc., of Onsted, Mich. two of the nations largest honey suppliers have both entered into deferred prosecution agreements with the government. Honey Holding has agreed to pay $1 million and Groeb Farms has agreed to pay $2 million in fines. It may even come to us in a cute little plastic bears, but a recent Food Safety News study found that up to 75 percent of honey sold to us in grocery stores does not contain any pollen whatsoever so by definition, it isnt even really honey anyway. Truthstream Media even found straight up artificial honey for sale: among the variety of honey products on the grocery store shelf in the video below was an artificial imitation honey promoted by a prominent diabetes organization. The concoction contained several dangerous ingredients including artificial sweetener acesulfame K and maltitol syrup (manufactured from corn starch, a likely genetically modified ingredient), some of which could be particularly problematic for the very diabetics the product was marketed towards. Food 5: Bread One of the most processed foods out there is bread. As Natural News has reported, many commercial baked goods in stores are made with a non-essential amino acid L-cysteine to speed it through the industrial process. While that might not sound like much, its where this L-cysteine comes from that might shock and/or disgust you: human hair. The Health Ranger reports: The hair is dissolved in acid and L-cysteine is isolated through a chemical process, then packaged and shipped off to commercial bread producers. Besides human hair, other sources of L-cysteine include chicken feathers, duck feathers, cow horns and petroleum byproducts. Guess thats good for recycling, but nothing about what he just said makes me want to eat bread any time soon. A lot of the hair that winds up in bread reportedly gets swept up from barbershop floors. Thats almost as bad as the fact that the castoreum used to make artificial vanilla flavoring comes from the anal secretions of a beaver. I couldnt make that up if I tried. (I guess real vanilla flavoring is too expensive??) Moreover, gluten intolerance has become a sudden and spreading food allergen, potentially deadly for those plagued by Celiac disease. This clip from a 1960 Department of Agriculture video leaves us wondering if perhaps the modified practices of creating food have played a role: Just because something is edible does that automatically mean it can and should be defined as food? The distinction is pretty important and one seemingly forgotten these days. Kraft Foods is currently involved in a lawsuit over the allegation that its packaging is misleading customers to believe the food inside is more wholesome than it really is. In a motion to dismiss, Krafts lawyers have said that promotional statements such as wholesome, sensible, and smart are too vague to prove or disprove, and thus are officially puffery that is not actionable by law. Sounds legit to me! Common sense and logic seemingly go out the window when it comes to food packaging and industrial food practices. Thus, consumers cannot approach the grocery store with the same common sense and logic and expect to get what they pay for. We have to be extra vigilant when we buy food if we really care to know what we are eating. Melissa Melton is a co-founder of TruthstreamMedia.com, where this article first appeared.

2	Ted Cruz Slams Donald Trump Voters And Then THIS Happened [VIDEO] If you are trying to gain the support of voters, you probably shouldnt blatantly insult them. Thats a lesson it appears that Donald Trump is going to have to learn the hard way. In a recent interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Cruz based Donald Trump supporters, calling them low information voters. He does well with a certain demographic of voter, Cruz said of the GOP front-runner. Donald gave a press conference where he said, to quote him, I love the poorly educated. Listen, part of it is I think Donald is taking advantage of his voters because I understand what theyre angry about, but Donald if youre angry at the corruption of Washington, you dont solve it by supporting someone who has been enmeshed in the Washington corruption for forty years. He then shifted from insulting Cruz to insulting the people he inspires. Listen, Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice, he concluded. Where we are beating him is when voters get more engaged and they get more informed. When they inform themselves, they realize his record. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Was this a terrible move on Cruzs part? 
1	In a cease-and-desist letter sent to Google's attorneys last week, media conglomerate Viacom demanded that YouTube immediately pull 400,000 ex-TV viewers from its industry-leading video-sharing site. 'These viewers clearly belong to Viacom and its related entertainment subsidiaries,' stated the letter, which called the co-opted viewership 'the result of an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars by our company.' 'Should YouTube fail to adequately address this blatant infringement, Viacom will not hesitate to assert its ownership rights to its intellectual property.' The letter threatened further legal action if all the 400,000 viewers in question are not removed from their desks and returned to their couches by the end of the week. 
2	Everyone Is Trying To Figure Out Why This Was Hanging Behind Obama During Gitmo Speech, Heres Why President Barack Obama has made it clear that he is not afraid to spit in the face of the American public. He has made several controversial decisions, especially as it pertains to the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba. In 2008, Obama promised to make shutting down the facility a priority on the grounds of human decency and because its costly to keep prisoners there. On Tuesday, he claimed that he had presented Congress with his plans to shut down the facility. During his address, there was an image in the background that some believe were attempting to send a subliminal message. CBS correspondent Mark Knoller noticed that Obama was making his speech under a portrait of former President Teddy Roosevelt. Roosevelt was the one who signed the initial lease agreement for Gitmo 113 years agoto the day. This is the type of blatant disrespect weve come to expect of our President, but it doesnt make it any less tasteless. What do you think? Do you need Obama out of the White House as soon as possible?

2	US Soldier Attacks Biden Head On, Completely Rips Him Apart Recently, Joe Biden decided to address the public in regards to ISIS and the beheading of American journalist Steven Sotloff. After Biden claimed that America could drive and follow ISIS to the gates of hell, soldiers began started speaking out against him. In doing so, they revealed the harsh truth about the policy that the current administration has implemented. Follow #ISIS to the Gates of Hell? Were not allowed to follow them out the front gate of our base! one soldier tweeted online. It is becoming increasingly clear that United States forces are being halted by the current administration, in an effort to be more tolerant to religious differences and those who worship Allah. Even if that means losing Americans to violent beheadings. And, as one article puts it, in an effort to appear morally superior, weve come off as weak and hesitant. Were slowly losing our reputation as a country that will stand up for itself, and has the means to do so. What do you think? Does Obama need to put his own agenda aside and start defending our country? 
1	According to the residents of 117 Maple St., Unit No. 2, literally every appliance, fixture, surface, and structural feature in their apartment is defective to some degree. Tenants Justin Kelly and Luke Epting told reporters Wednesday that the two-bedroom apartment's myriad flaws range from cosmetic issues such as uneven floorboards and ceiling stains, to slightly more bothersome problems like the poor cell phone reception in the bedrooms and the fact that the electrical sockets only have two prongs. 'The walls have a few nicks on them, and you have to pry open the tray on the DVD player with your fingers if you want to watch a movie,' said Kelly, 27, adding that during winter months they have to put a bowl under the radiator to collect water that leaks from the supply pipe. 'And sometimes the living room light doesn't work, but not because the bulb is burnt out. You just have to flick the switch on and off a few times real quick and wait for the pop sound before the light turns on.' 'It's weird, but that's what you have to do,' Kelly continued. The two roommates told reporters the vast majority of the flaws are easily worked around, explaining that over the course of their 22-month occupancy they've gradually gotten used to the shrieking hot-water pipes and having to plug the drafty windows with bath towels. Kelly and Epting added that only a few items are considered completely unusable, including the entryway intercom, two of the four stove-top burners, both residents' printers, and most of the lamps. 'There are a few issues, but it's not like we won't be getting our security deposit back or anything,' Kelly said. 'So long as we don't burn the place down, anyway.' None of the apartment's three smoke alarms was fully functional at press time. While noting that each of the rooms possesses its own array of unique imperfections, Epting suggested that the bathroom likely contains the most defects. 'Some of the tiles are missing, and you can see the showerhead is rubber-banded on,' said the 26-year-old paralegal, noting that the thick layer of condensation on the toilet was 'pretty normal,' and that sometimes the bathroom sink has really low water pressure even if you turn the hot and cold water up all the way. 'Also, you have to grab the doorknob and lift it up to close the door. Otherwise it will open up on you while you're in there.' 'The thing that's kind of annoying is that it's really hot in there all the time,' added Epting, raising his voice above the buzz of the overhead lighting. 'But luckily it's right off the kitchen, which is always freezing, so it balances out.' Although Kelly and Epting admitted that the discoloration behind the kitchen sink was spreading and that the lock on the apartment's front door had grown increasingly 'temperamental,' they said that the apartment was in a great location and well worth the $1,400 rent. 'None of it's so bad that we need to call somebody to get it fixed,' Kelly said. 'It's just small stuff. Like there's this one nail in the hallway that keeps coming back up every couple weeks, and sometimes I'll stub my toe or tear a sock on it. I tried to knock it back in, but the hammer's a piece of shit and the head keeps coming off.' Unlike the apartment's two primary residents, Epting's girlfriend of five months, Liz Fehrenbach, 25, admitted that she remains unsettled by the problems. 'The apartment really doesn't get any natural light, but when it does, it's so bright that you can't watch the TV because of all the glare, and the entire apartment just feels like an oven,' said Fehrenbach, adding that the wireless Internet the residents steal from their downstairs neighbors only seems to work in the living room and hallway. 'I still always forget that you can't use the toaster and microwave at the same time or else the power goes out.' 'But at least I barely ever notice that weird garbage smell anymore,' Fehrenbach continued. When asked for comment, landlord Frank Czerniak stated that he planned to raise the rent by $250 a month when the current lease expires in May. 
2	Michelle Obama Officially Diagnosed, Heres Whats Really Going On In her husbands last weeks as president, First Lady Michelle Obama has been appearing in many places, speaking out against the new president-elect in an attempt to secure her husbands legacy. Now, Dr. Lauren A. Wright, PhD, the director of investor relations at NV5 Global, Inc. and a member of the White House Transition Project, has released a book called, On Behalf of the President: Presidential Spouses and White House Communications Strategies Today diagnosing Michelles recent behavior. Wright noted that Michelle has become an attack dog in an effort to build his legacy before his presidency slips away. She doesnt have to worry about the implications [of her remarks] for months to come, Wright noted. This is the time shes most free to say what she feels, what she believes, and what she wants the message to be for the public. Through her husbands presidency, Michelle has given more public speeches and indulged in more appearances than any First Lady in history. I think what surprises and upsets people most often is that first ladies give more public remarks than vice presidents, and thats been true over the last three administrations, Wright wrote. What do you think? Do you agree with this diagnosis? 
2	BREAKING: Islamic Terrorists Caught On U.S. Soil According to recent reports, six radical Muslims in St. Louis have been charged with terrorism after an indictment that was issued on Friday. This comes just shortly after Obama called Islam a religion of peace. The six suspects, ranging from 26 to 42 years of age, were working to support Abdullah Ramo Pazara in efforts to become a Muslim terrorist. Pazara had traveled from St. Louis to Croatia in 2013, eventually arriving in Syria where he joined the Islamic State. According to the indictment, the six were working together in a conspiracy to support the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq. They were also collecting money and goods to support Pazara. Although all six of the group members are originally from Bosnia, three of them had were naturalized American citizens. Although no charges have been brought against Pazara as of yet, two of the group members are being charged with conspiring to kill persons in a foreign country. Other charges include transferring money, and shipping U.S. military uniforms, gear, and firearms. Penalties in the case range from 15 years in prison for each count to up to $250,000 in fines. What do you think of the charges? Is this just more proof that Islam is a dangerous religion? 
2	Government Suppresses Hidden Information About How Islam Was Banned In 1952... Heres The Truth Over the past few months, liberals have called Donald Trumps approach to Islam absurd. They seem to be forgetting that Islam has already been banned in the United States before, back in 1952. In the summer of 1952, the Immigration and Nationality Act was passed in order to revise immigration laws and nationality laws for our country. The measure, which is still in place today, laws out provision of the law for immigration of aliens into the country. A major issue covered by the act was the prohibition of entry into the country if an immigrant is part of an organization that is attempting to overthrow the United States government through the use of force, violence or other unconstitutional means. It goes to follow that this should rule out Islamic extremist immigration into our nation. Thats something the White House seems intent on ignoring. What do you think about this? 
2	Confederate Flag Controversy: Obama May Be Forced To Resign Because Of THIS [SEE DETAILS] As the liberal media pushes to ban the Confederate flag and any history tied to slavery, it has been revealed that President Barack Obamas family owned slaves in the past. According to recent reports, Obamas great-great-great-great grandfather, George Washington Overall, owned two slaves. Both were recorded in the 1850 census in Nelson, County, KY. The information was revealed in the Baltimore Sun in 2007, along with claims that his relative Mary Duvall also owned slaves. Somehow, this issue was never brought into light in his 2008 campaign. While a relative owned slaves, another fought for the Union is the Civil War, Obamas campaign spokesman Bill Burton claimed. And it is a true measure of progress that the descendant of a slave owner would come to marry a student from Kenya and produce a son who would grow up to be a candidate for president of the United States. What do you think? Is Obama a hypocrite? 
1	VATICAN CITYIn conjunction with the release of his latest album, MixMaster FunkBlaster Pope-a-Fied To The T.O.P., His Holiness Pope John Paul II issued an official church condemnation of all Wack MCs Tuesday. The Pope singled out Snoop Doggy Dogg, Notorious B.I.G. and Too $hort, saying, 'These rappers do not have the best rhymes. They are wack. They are not from the old school.' The decree condemned MCs who 'lack the concentration to create the rhymifications that stimulate the mind and make the funk rise in your soul.' The Pope recommended passages from Ezekiel as having the most 'righteous' rhymes. The decree was ratified by the Vatican Council Tuesday as an official Catholic Decree. It also reached number four on the R&B charts. 
2	You Wont Believe Who Owned The Crane That Collapsed In Mecca On The Anniversary Of 9/11 Last Friday, America spent the day honoring those who lost their lives in the tragic September 11 attacks fourteen years ago. In Mecca, the day was spent recovering from an ironic incident that took place: a crane belonging to Bin Laden fell on the Grand Mosque. The incident cost the lives of more than 65 people, and left 80 more injured, according to the Saudi Civil Defense Directorate. Sources say that strong winds caused the crash. Others are reporting that a lightning strike hit the cranein what some are calling an act of Gods judgment. Regardless of the cause, rescue workers from the Civil Defense department and Saudi Red Crescent and Health Affairs were quick to the scene. The incident came at a very interesting time, with more than 3 million people in the holy city for Muslims annual pilgrimage to Mecca. That means that the mosque was significantly more crowded than usual on Friday, although it is unknown how many people were actually in the building at the time of the crash. What do you think? Is this a coincidence or something deeper? 
3	US Army Vet and Syrian Rebel With Possible Links To CIA Found DeadBrandon Turbeville With deep sorrow, we regret to inform you of our beloved Eric Harrouns death. He will be missed by his family, friends, and many people around the world his life has touched, the familys statement read. Although an official cause of death has not been released, Harrouns sister posted a statement claiming that Harroun died as the result of an accidental overdose. Harroun was arrested last year by the FBI for his association with known terrorist group and al-Qaeda affiliate Jobhat al-Nusra. Yet the case eventually saw Harroun a free man with only three years of parole as a penalty since, according to ABC news, the government confused Harrouns affiliation with al-Nasr with the al-Nusra Front. Thus, ABC News claims that Harroun was affiliated with a death squad organization that was not fighting for jihad with al-Qaeda. Harroun was therefore only convicted of failing to obtain an export license. Even the New York Times has been forced to admit that the entirety of the Syrian opposition is made up of extremists. In April, 2013, for instance, Ben Hubbard wrote that Harroun himself confessed to shooting 10 people, downing a Syrian chopper, and firing a rocket-propelled grenade during his tenure in the country with the death squads. He was also charged with plotting to use a weapon of mass destruction outside the U.S. However, Harroun, while allegedly a convert to Islam, may have served a much different role than that of mere jihadist. After Harrouns arrest, it is notable that his father, Darryl Harroun stated I know he was doing some work for the CIA over there. I know for a fact that he was passing information onto the CIA. Even Robert Young Pelton, a writer and war adventurer who was friends with Harroun, admits that Harroun had fed tips to the CIA and FBI for years. Still, while Americans are harassed over paying for coffee with cash, attending protests, or even possessing a pair of socks in the vicinity of a protest, Eric Harroun was free to travel across the world, engage in combat against sovereign governments and innocent civilians, re-enter the United States, and even continue to receive disability payments in the process. As Paul Joseph Watson wrote in March of last year, Regardless of whether or not Harroun was working for the CIA, he was nevertheless facilitating and supporting their goals and mission in Syria despite his individual level of knowledge regarding those goals.

1	Bears trainers were reportedly worried about the significant concussion suffered by Jay Cutler during Chicago's loss to the Texans Sunday, expressing fears that the traumatic brain injury might prevent the petulant quarterback from ever sulking again. Unfortunately, our post-concussion assessments and cognitive testing revealed that Jay has shown a loss of brain function manifesting itself in problems with scowling, a difficulty expressing annoyance, and an inability to bitch about others, said the Bears head athletic trainer, Chris Hanks. At this point, it doesnt look like hell ever sulk properly again and will constantly struggle to effectively mope around on the field or the sidelines. Bears players and coaches as well as numerous NFL scouts confirmed they were confident Cutler would prove doubters wrong by not only sulking, but also throwing hissy fits again like an All-Pro shithead. 
3	Environmental Refugees: Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) SufferersBy Catherine J. Frompovich Perhaps the judge who rendered that decision ought to reconsider whats going on regarding EHS, especially at the United Nations and their conference where EHS issues were discussed. Dr Yael Stein, MD, Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, Hebrew University Hadassah Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel, gave an 83 slide presentation titled Environmental Refugees wherein Dr Stein pointed out key factors that need to be addressed in the modern age of microwave technology that super saturates humans with EMFs and RFs from cell phones and towers, Wi-Fi, utility companies AMI smart meters, smart phones, routers, monitors, etc. and other electronics that can send and receive data, information, voice, photographs, etc. Dr Steins comprehensive presentation was before the UNESCO 10th World Conference on Bioethics, Medical Ethics and Health Law held January 6 to 8, 2015 in Jerusalem, Israel. [1] One very prominent classification regarding EHS, pointed out by Dr Stein, is that in Sweden, electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) officially is recognized as a functional impairment and not regarded as a disease! Furthermore, theres a published peer-review paper, Electrohypersensitivity: state-of-the-art of a functional impairment [2] wherein Swedens position on EHS is discussed. The Abstract for that paper states: Survey studies show that somewhere between 230,000-290,000 Swedish men and women report a variety of symptoms when being in contact with electromagnetic field (EMF) sources. Where do U.S. states PUCs and utility companies come off with there are no adverse health effects and that EMFs are safe? Furthermore, the World Health Organization states, EHS is characterized by a variety of non-specific symptoms that differ from individual to individual. The symptoms are certainly real and can vary widely in their severity. Whatever the cause, EHS can be a disabling problem for the affected individual. Source: Dr Yael Stein, MD, Slide 67 of 83 / UNESCO 10th Word Conference on Bioethics, Medical Ethics and Health Law In Slide 68, Dr Stein refers to the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and that discrimination against a person with a disability, which a functional impairment as recognized in Sweden also should be included, is a violation of the inherent dignity and worth of the human person. Arent there federal and state laws against discrimination against disability individuals [6] in the United States, and why arent PUCs and utilities made to abide by them? In Slide 70, Dr Stein emphasizes via a red outline that States Parties undertake to ensure and promote the full realization of all human rights and fundamental freedoms for all persons with disabilities to which end State Parties have certain obligations to meet and enforce, including appropriate legislative measures, which the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and other U.S. states apparently deliberately are neglecting or accommodating those who suffer with EHS by not allowing opt-outs from AMI smart meters. Slide 73 deals with Accessibility, which would apply to an EHS person if he/she cannot live or be in an area contaminated with EMFs from AMI smart meters, Wi-Fi, etc. Consequently, those barriers or obstacles to that persons accessibility to remain safely without adverse health effects within the home, workplace, etc. need to be eliminated or, as in the case of a personal home, allow a legal opt-out from utilities AMI smart meters on their homes. Dr Stein emphasizes that EHS is being taken seriously for those who suffer with it. In file 80, he lists what are designated as EHS Refuge Zones or areas, plus support groups, in France, Canada, the UK, and Sweden. How come theres nothing listed for the USA? Probably because utility companies and PUCs work too closely together to get all the federal funding [3-4] thats available for creating the smart grid that eventually will lead to the Internet of Things [5]. God help us!

This is a good article with good references for hearers and EMF sufferers. 
1	Amid much fanfare, NASA officials unveiled the first satellite photos of the nearly completed Earth Sock yesterday at Cape Canaveral. The mood among attending scientists, who have spent the last quarter century working on the project, was one of deep joy, as the result of the ambitious $80 trillion project was finally in sight. This photo, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, shows the enormity of the $80 trillion, 90,000 mile-long Earth Sock. The Sock will provide vital cushiony support in an attractive 'crew' style. The now-depleted world econ-omies can rest assured that the $80 trillion price tag will buy a lot of snug-fitting comfort and support, Project Earth Sock coordinator Noam Gekhend said. Officials credit the Socks completion to the unprecedented international cooperation the project inspired, including astronauts and knitters from over 60 nations. Scores of sock construction teams, both aground and in space, maneuvered fleets of Darning Convoys and Knitting Shuttles in complex flying patterns to weave the freight-train-sized strands of cotton fiber into the 90,000 mile-long Sock. The Earth Sock is the largest man-made structure ever built, dwarfing its nearest competitor, the Great Wall of China, by a factor of two million. It is also cushiony and 100 percent cotton, which means its breathable. NASA scientists ex-plained that the Earth Sock will provide the Earth with much-needed protection against chafing and discomfort as the planet is propelled around the sun at 1,800 miles per hour. Imagine walking 1,800 miles an hour in the minus 260-degree cold of outer space without socks on, Gekhend said. To do so would be foolhardy. This is what our planet must do every day. Finally, we have done something to protect her. International support for the Sock has been overwhelming. As a nation, as a planet, we can all be very proud of this sock, President Clinton said. He and the leaders of all 178 nations on earth signed a world resolution proclaiming the completion date, January 1, 1997, Sock Day. Singing sensation Neil Diamond has soared to the top of the adult contemporary music charts with a tribute song to the Earth Sock: Earth Sock / Mighty Earth Sock! / Youre in outer space / With you we can win this crazy race / And wherever you go / We will go with you / In our minds / In our hearts / And in our dreams. Despite the projects widespread popularity, some naysayers fault the Sock for being a meaningless make-work project that will devastate the world economy and destroy its delicate ecosystems. Another drawback of the Sock has been the obliteration of the Southern Hemisphere, smothered under the enormous pressure of the snug-fitting sock. The continents of Africa, Australia and South America now exist only in white cotton relief, their citizens unable to stand up or breathe, inexorably pushed downward by the enormous Earth Sock. My family and my farm, everything I had, was crushed under the Sock, said Pasqual Perquoyez, a Peruvian farmer. Why was my country forced into poverty to pay for this Sock? A lucky few, such as Perquoyez, have managed to squirm out of the Earth Sock through periodic gaps in the breathable, double-knit fabric. But life for such survivors is hard. Their world is an endless white cotton hellscape, the ghostly shapes of buried cities, mountains and loved ones underfoot. The destruction of the Southern Hemisphere was unfortunate, Earth Sock project coordinator Gekhend said. But realize that the loss of half the planets population is well offset by the Socks cushiony comfort and at-trac-tive crew style. Gekhend as-sured the world community that no nations of im-port were smothered by the Earth Sock, only minor Southern Hemi-sphere countries like Uruguay, Na-mibia and New Zealand. Scientists also warn that the tip of the sock may come dangerously close to the suns corona at the vernal equinox (when the earth is closest to the sun), which may cause the dry fabric to catch ablaze. Such a fire would quickly engulf the sock and light up the entire planet Earth like a roman candle in a matter of seconds, reducing every plant, animal and mineral into white hot ash, and cause the planet to break up into a fine dust and dissipate into outer space, Gekhend said. Well know for sure by late Feb-ruary. Despite its stag-gering scale, the Earth Sock is only the beginning. It is merely a precursor to the Earth Shoe, which we will begin constructing in 2002, Gekhend said. Coordinators say the Shoe project will commence once the Earth Sock is pulled up over the entire Earth surface, allowing for an easy and comfortable fit in the shoe. 
2	After NFL Star Colin Kaepernick Disrespects America, Immediately Gets Bad News This week, NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick outraged the American public when he refused to stand during the pregame national anthem last week, in what he claims was a protest against racial oppression. Americans from various backgrounds and ethnicities came forward to criticize the 49ers player, who has made millions in the same country that supposedly oppresses him. This latest stunt event pushed away man of his fans in San Francisco. This is not good timing for Kaepernick, who has been struggling to remain on the team after a lackluster season last year. Id be shocked if hes on the 49ers by the time this season ends, Jay Glazer, a senior writer for Fox Sports, wrote recently, explaining hat Kaepernick lost a lot of weight in the offseason after multiple surgeries. Regardless of his political views, the quarterback just hasnt been effective. The only thing that may save him from an immediate dismissal from the team is his contract, which guarantees him an $11.9 million salary this season. Thats a hefty price. 
2	Florida Democrats Approve Bill That Imposes Shariah Law On Women According to recent reports, Florida is facing some serious criticism after claiming that a real war on women is just being startedthis time by Democrats. Florida Democrats just voted to impose Shariah law on women, one headline read, in an article that went on to explain, Anyone who isnt certain that Democrats are devoted to destroying American need only take a look at their despicable conduct in the Florida Senate. In a vote that never should have had to be taken, every single Democrat voted to force Shariah law on the people of Florida. By doing so, they placed women and children in very real danger. The article was written by Western Journalism in response to a Democrat vote against a bill barring the use of foreign laws in any context in Florida courtrooms. The action came after two Republican state lawmakers, Senator Alan Hays and Representative Larry Metz pushed for a bill to ban foreign law. Although the bill does not specifically ban Shariah law, it does help to protect against it. This protection would have been limited to family law cases including divorce, child support and child custody. The law protects the courtroom from considering foreign law if it violates public policy. Legislators who voted against the bill viewed it as a direct attack on the Muslim community. What do you think of the ruling?

3	Guantanamo Looking for ClosureTheatrical depiction of tortured prisoners from Guantanamo, a well as a conversation with an eyewitness of torture in another war zone. January 11, 2014, around the United States and around the world, individuals and groups marked this day to commemorate the ugliness, and the brutality we have all come to recognize as Guantanamo Close Guantanamo Now. Marking this date, the Veterans for Peace, Chapter 156 of Rogue Valley Oregon, gave a performance of street theater in Vogle Plaza, downtown Medford, Oregon. It was a wintery day grim, cloudy-dark on that noon day an appropriate setting for a theme of death, as an introduction to six prisoners who died while imprisoned at Guatanamo Bay Prison, Cuba. These men had not been not convicted of any crime unless the mere act of waiting has been deemed a crime. View an interview on Rogue Valley TV, Channel 15, with Robert Doell, who played the role of the Sergeant in the play. And video here. Viewers could see the progression of change in the Sergeants expression, from indifference, to sadness and emotional pain by the end of the row of dispatched prisoners all had died in Guantanamo, six supposedly by suicide. He felt the prisoners angst, and we saw it on his face. A ruling of suicide is disputed However, before his death, one of the men had just heard he would be released. A person would be unlikely to commit suicide if he knew were going to be freed. Three of the men had died on the same day, June 10, 2006. Also, from records and eyewitnesses to the bodies, each of the suicides, had their throats cut away, rendering them impossible to show if their deaths were self-inflicted. How death comes In February, 2011, 48-year-old detainee Awal Gul died in Guantanamo of what was said to have been a heart attack, but heart attacks are common occurrences after strenuousinterrogations, says a witness (name withheld) to such tortures as water-boarding, force-feeding, etc.when he was in MI during the Korean War, The guys (North Koreans) were so scared, they often had a heart attack, or drowned, right there, shaking, when water was poured through a funnel down their throats; a heart attack or drowned they were terrified and died. One of the three U.S. Court of Appeals judges on a panel, Judge David Tatal, hearing on Feb. 11, stated, Absent exceptional circumstances prison officials may force-feed a starving inmate actually facing the risk of death, Judge David Tatel wrote his opinion as, This is a court of law, not an arbiter of medical ethics. But it is a misnomer to refer to the proceedings as a court of law, when none of the prisoners have had an actual trial. The US claims there is insufficient evidence for conviction of any of the current 155 prisoners. How can that be. In the 2014 State of the Union Address, President Obama reiterated the vow he made five years ago when he first became president, and true to form, he offered no new prescriptions for Gutanamos demise. President Obamas legacy is at stake and his time is slipping away, said Zeke Johnson, director of Amnesty International USAs Security and Human Rights Program. Veterans for Peace say the same is true for the 155 current prisoners remaining at Gitmo, but it is their lives that are slipping away. Charlotte Wilson writes for World View Opinion, where this first appeared. 
3	Belgian Forces Caught Bombing Civilian Village In SyriaBy Whitney Webb The village was located in the Aleppo province in Northern Syria, which has been the focus of international scrutiny due to the heavy fighting taking place in the provinces capital Aleppo, once Syrias most populous city. Western countries allied with the US have accused Russian and Syrian forces of killing civilians in their bombing campaign to drive ISIS and other anti-government rebels from the city. The village attack, however, occurred while the Russian and Syrian air forces were grounded due to a 48-hour humanitarian ceasefire in the Aleppo province. The US and other coalition countries have remained silent about the bombing. Belgium has fiercely denied its involvement. Belgian Defense Minister Steven Vandeput said Belgium was not involved in [the] Aleppo strike. [Its] Russian disinformation. Russian Defense Ministry spokesman General Igor Konashenkov said Vandeput was either deliberately deceiving people in Belgium and elsewhere in the world, or his subordinates and the Americans are lying to the leadership of Belgium. Russia has continued to press Belgium to admit its involvement. Furthermore, Russia has released evidence gathered from radar data that shows two Belgian jets flew from the Muwaffaq Salti airbase in Jordan and were immediately identified upon entering Syrian airspace, as all aircraft have a unique identifiable signature. The Belgian planes then carried out a night strike in the village, just two hours after take-off. After conducting the bombing, the planes refueled and continued patrolling around the city of Azaz in Northwestern Syria before leaving Syria and entering Iraq. Neither Belgium nor the US notified Russia or Syria of the planes whereabouts, which Konashenkov noted went against the usual practice. However, the US-led operation in Syria has frequently refused to coordinate or cooperate with Syrias sovereign government, choosing instead to go their own way. Belgiums denial of the bombing is also indicative of the unaccountability and irresponsibility shown by the US-led coalition in Syria, which is technically illegal according to international law. One such example was the coalition bombing of Syrian army soldiers at an air base near Deir el-Zour, which killed 62 soldiers and injured more. However, the US at least admitted that the event occurred and called it a mistake. Another similar mistake took place this past July when US forces killed 28 civilians, mostly women and children, in the town of Manbij. The US initially claimed that those killed were insurgents, but eventually changed their story when the civilian casualties were revealed. The accidental bombings in both Manbij and Deir el-Zour allowed ISIS to advance in those territories, both of which are critical, strategic areas. This has raised doubts as to whether the US-led coalition is actually fighting ISIS at all. Indeed, before Russia entered the picture, the coalitions bombing campaign allowed ISIS to triple its territory, though Russian-Syrian cooperation has reversed this trend. Though the US-ISIS relationship remains murky, many experts agree that the coalition is allowing terrorist groups, such as Al-Nusra, in order to back the US ultimate goal of destabilizing and overthrowing the government of Bashar Al-Assad.

This is the 1%ers in the Brussels Gov. that didnt want to miss out on the Sport of slaughtering mid-east brown-skinned families with the other NATO reptilians.so they can chat about their vainglorious conquests in Men Only Clubs in the financial districts along with the rest of the banksters. Its the wests double standards. Its an accident if we do it but it is a war crime if done by those outside the circle. Saudi Arabia is good at killing civilians in Yemen but not loudly reported and the official line is we will investigate it which takes months or years and no action is taken apart from supplying more weapons to bomb Yemen civilians. 
3	Roundup Herbicide Linked To Parkinsons-Related Brain DamageSayer Ji, Contributor Published this month (April, 2012), the new study entitled Glyphosate induced cell death through apoptotic and authophagic mechanisms, investigated the potential brain-damaging effects of herbicides, which the authors stated have been recognized as the main environmental factor associated with neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinsons disease. They found that glyphosate inhibited the viability of differentiated test cells (PC12, adrenal medula derived), in both dose-and-time dependent manners. The researchers also found that glyphosate induced cell death via authophagy pathways in addition to activating apoptotic pathways. Roundup herbicide is now a ubiquitous contaminant in our air, rain, groundwater, and food, making complete avoidance near impossible. A growing body of experimental evidence now indicates that it in addition to its neurotoxicity it also has the following. Once marketed as safe as table salt by Monsanto, the original patent holder and manufacturer of this glyphosate-based herbicide, evidence now indicates it is toxic to human DNA at concentrations diluted 450-fold lower than used in agricultural applications. This study only adds to human case reports of glyphosate-poisoning and/or occupational exposure where neurological damage was a direct consequence. A 2011 case study published in the journal Parkinsonism Related Disorders, entitled Parkinsonism after chronic occupational exposure to glyphosate, reported the following incident: Here we report a patient with parkinsonism following chronic occupational exposure to glyphosate. A previously healthy 44- year-old woman presented with rigidity, slowness and resting tremor in all four limbs with no impairment of short-term memory, after sustaining long term chemical exposure to glyphosate for 3 years as a worker in a chemical factory. The chemical plant produced a range of herbicides including: glyphosate, gibberellins, and dimethyl hydrogen phosphite; however, the patient worked exclusively in the glyphosate production division. She only wore basic protection such as gloves or a face mask for 50 h each week in the plant where glyphosate vapor was generated. She frequently felt weak. Two months before she came to our clinic, she had expe- rienced severe dizziness and blurred vision. Another case study published in 2003 reported a case of parkinsonism subsequent to glyphosate exposure. These case studies are also backed up by animal research. In the roundworm model of glyphosate exposure the chemical results in neurodegeneration directly associated with damage to the dopamine and GABA producing neurons. In the rat model, glyphosate exposure results in oxidative brain damage, particularly the substantia nigra, where the highest concentration of dopamine-producing cells reside, and which is the primary locus of neurological damage in Parkinsons disease.

1	According to reports, Sean Boyce, a member of the Jefferson Avenue McDonald's team, may be doing it purely for the money. Critics say Boyce, 22, who lives with girlfriend Renee Simmons and their 2-year-old daughter, cares more about getting paid than dedicating himself to his craft. McDonald's employee Sean Boyce. 'It's sad when a person's sole motivation is money, but that really seems to be the case with Mr. Boyce,' said Peter Kuharcich, editor of the restaurant-industry newsletter Fast Food Report. 'The only thing he's interested in is getting that paycheck.' Contrary to claims made at the time of his hire, Boyce does not crave the challenge of brightening people's day the McDonald's way. 'When I interviewed Sean, he really seemed to agree that the most fulfilling thing about working here is getting the chance to make the customer's McDonald's experience as enjoyable as possible,' assistant manager Frederick Taubense said. 'But the longer he was here, the more apparent it became that it was all about the money for him. He's always asking stuff like, 'Wasn't I supposed to get a raise last month?' and, 'I thought I get time and a half when I work overtime.' At some point, he needs to wake up and realize that money isn't what's truly important.' Boyce, who joined the McDonald's team in November 1998, has all but admitted that his reasons for accepting the position were greed-based. After returning home more than an hour late last Tuesday from a mandatory 'Improving Customer Service' training session, Boyce allegedly told his girlfriend that he just wants to 'punch in, do my job and punch out.' Several days later, he intimated to fellow cashier Amani Green that 'if I win the lottery, I'm never setting foot in another McDonald's for the rest of my life.' 'Frankly, we're all a little shocked to find this kind of attitude coming from a member of the McDonald's family,' Taubense said. 'Sean's lack of dedication to customer satisfaction flies in the face of the Employee's Commitment To Excellence statement he signed during orientation, not to mention the nine points on the McDonald's Customer Bill Of Rights posted next to the hot-pie holder. He acts as if his shift isn't about providing friendly, helpful service with a smile, but rather about getting money for a pair of new sneakers or medicine for his daughter's earache.' Other McDonald's crew members have noticed Boyce's selfishness, as well. 'Sean's a scheming climber who's only looking out for himselfI've even heard him talking about wanting to go to tech school,' second-shift manager Denise Lum said. 'I get the feeling he could decide to quit at any time andpoofwith two weeks notice, he'd be gone.' 'Sean has no sense of loyalty at all,' fellow crew member Bob DiSalvo said. 'I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he left for Wendy's or Burger King if he thought he could get more money there.' Despite their problems with his attitude, McDonald's management said they have no plans to terminate Boyce's employment as of this time, citing staffing shortages in the morning drive-thru and second-shift grill-cook positions. 
1	Following the presidents reelection Tuesday, top Republicans Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, and Eric Cantor expressed relief, saying the primary purpose of their livesto stymie, irritate, and confound President Obama at every turnhad not been taken away from them. Had Barack Obama lost his occupation, then we too would have lost ours, said Sen. McConnell (R-KY), calling an existence in which he doesnt wake up every morning and figure out ways to systematically block the presidents agenda an empty one. Tomorrow, I will go to the Capitol building and immediately say that Republicans are unable to work with the president if he wants to raise taxes on the wealthy. Thats a life worth living. Thats a life where I feel like Im actually contributing something to society. Cantor and Boehner said they were thankful not to have ended up like Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who committed suicide after the first presidential debate, when it appeared as if Mitt Romney might win the election. 
1	Wasting no time in making the necessary introductions upon his return from the clothing store Wednesday, eccentric man Oliver Roberts promptly entered his bedroom and acquainted his new sweater with soon-to-be closet pals Colonel Coat and Captain Blazer. Hear ye, hear ye! I would ask ye fine adornments to join me in welcoming our new sweater friend, who shall henceforth be known as Count Sweater, Roberts said in an address to Colonel Coat and Captain Blazer, as well as to their wardrobe companions Madame Scarf, Lieutenant Gloves, and Doctor Belt. It is my greatest wish that our new friend feels safe and comfortable in his new home and that he is included at all times. And no funny business from you, Miss Shoesah, Im terribly sorryMrs. Shoes. At press time, Roberts had left the attire to socialize among themselves but returned 10 minutes later on a nagging suspicion that the sweater had fallen victim to the pernicious pranks of Sir Hat. 
3	Researchers Discover That The Tulsi Plant Can Be Used To Remove Fluoride From Drinking WaterAndrew Puhanic Researchers from Rajasthan University in India have discovered that the Tulsi plant, also known as Holy Basil, can be used to significantly reduce the amount of fluoride in drinking water. At present, the most reliable methods used to remove excessive fluoride from drinking water are either too expensive or not suitable for the environments where they are needed most. The method discovered by researchers from Rajasthan University is safe, cheap and readily available, making it an ideal alternative for communities who cant afford to use the more advanced techniques of removing fluoride that are readily available in the West. An experiment was conducted in the Yellareddyguda village of Narketpally Mandal. The researchers soaked 75mg of Tulsi leaves in 100ml of water that contained 7.4 parts per million of fluoride in the water. After only soaking the Tulsi leaves for eight hours, it was discovered that the level of fluoride in the water was reduced from 7.4 parts per million, to only 1.1 parts per million. At present, the World Health Organization recommends that the safe level of fluoride in drinking water is between 0.5 to 1 parts per million. This new water treatment option could now provide the worlds poorest people an opportunity to remove excessive fluoride from their drinking water supplies. However, more research is still needed to identify and validate the effectiveness of using Tulasi leaves as a means of removing fluoride from drinking water supplies. Considering the cost-prohibitive nature of other more reliable water treatment techniques, if the Tulsi plant is conclusively proven to be effective in removing fluoride from drinking water, then we may witness a revolution in water treatment, providing options to areas where none currently exist.

3	9 Signs That China Is Making A Move Against The U.S. DollarMichael Snyder At the moment, most global trade is conducted in U.S. dollars and more than 60 percent of all global foreign exchange reserves are held in U.S. dollars. This gives the United States an enormous built-in advantage, but thanks to decades of incredibly bad decisions this advantage is starting to erode. And due to the recent political instability in Washington D.C., the Chinese sense vulnerability. China has begun to publicly mock the level of U.S. debt, Chinese officials have publicly threatened to stop buying any more U.S. debt, the Chinese have started to aggressively make currency swap agreements with other major global powers, and China has been accumulating unprecedented amounts of gold. All of these moves are setting up the moment in the future when China will completely pull the rug out from under the U.S. dollar. Today, the U.S. financial system is the core of the global financial system. Because nearly everybody uses the U.S. dollar to buy oil and to trade with one another, this creates a tremendous demand for U.S. dollars around the planet. So other nations are generally very happy to take our dollars in exchange for oil, cheap plastic gadgets and other things that U.S. consumers need. Major exporting nations accumulate huge piles of our dollars, but instead of just letting all of that money sit there, they often invest large portions of their currency reserves into U.S. Treasury bonds which can easily be liquidated if needed. That is why a U.S. debt default would be such a big deal. A default would cause interest rates to skyrocket and the entire global economic system to go haywire. Unfortunately for us, the U.S. debt spiral cannot go on indefinitely. Our debt is growing far, far more rapidly than our GDP is, and therefore our debt is completely and totally unsustainable. The Chinese understand what is going on, and when the dust settles they plan to be the last ones standing. In the aftermath of a U.S. collapse, China anticipates having the largest economy on the planet, more gold than anyone else, and a respected international currency that the rest of the globe will be able to use to conduct international trade. And China is not just going to sit back and wait for all of this to happen. In fact, they are already doing lots of things to get the ball moving. The following are 9 signs that China is making a move against the U.S. dollar #1 Chinese credit rating agency Dagong has downgraded U.S. debt from A to A- and has indicated that further downgrades are possible. #2 China has just entered into a very large currency swap agreement with the eurozone that is considered a huge step toward establishing the yuan as a major world currency. This agreement will result in a lot less U.S. dollars being used in trade between China and Europe #3 Back in June, China signed a major currency swap agreement with the United Kingdom. This was another very important step toward internationalizing the yuan. #4 China currently owns about 1.3 trillion dollars of U.S. debt, and this enormous exposure to U.S. debt is starting to become a major political issue within China. #5 Mei Xinyu, Commerce Minister adviser to the Chinese government, warned this week that if the U.S. government ever does default that China may decide to completely stop buying U.S. Treasury bonds. #6 According to Yahoo News, China has already been looking for ways to diversify away from the U.S. dollar #7 Xinhua, the official news agency of China, called for a de-Americanized world this week, and also made the following statement about the political turmoil in Washington: The cyclical stagnation in Washington for a viable bipartisan solution over a federal budget and an approval for raising debt ceiling has again left many nations tremendous dollar assets in jeopardy and the international community highly agonized. #8 Xinhua also said the following about the U.S. debt deal on Thursday: [P]oliticians in Washington have done nothing substantial but postponing once again the final bankruptcy of global confidence in the U.S. financial system. The commentary in the government-run publication also declared that the debt deal was no more than prolonging the fuse of the U.S. debt bomb one inch longer. #9 China is the largest producer of gold in the world, and it has also been importing an absolutely massive amount of gold from other nations. But instead of slowing down, the Chinese appear to be accelerating their gold buying. In fact, money manager Stephen Leeb says that his sources are telling him that China plans to buy another 5,000 tons of gold. There are many that are convinced that China eventually plans to back the yuan with gold and try to make it the number one alternative to the U.S. dollar. So exactly what would happen if the Chinese announced someday that they were going to back their currency with gold and would no longer be using the U.S. dollar in international trade? It would change the face of the global economy almost overnight. In a previous article, I described some of the things that we could expect to see happen The fact that we get to print up giant mountains of money and virtually everyone around the world uses it has been a huge boon for the U.S. economy. When that changes, the word catastrophic is not going to be nearly strong enough to describe what is going to happen. According to a Rasmussen Reports survey that was released this week, only 13 percent of all Americans believe that the country is on the right track. But the truth is that these are the good times. The American people havent seen anything yet. Someday people will look back and desperately wish that they could go back to the good old days of 2012 and 2013. This is about as good as things are going to get, and it is only downhill from here. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

2	Obamas Own Grandmother Comes Forward To Make THIS Shocking Admission A new and controversial audio recording of Barack Obamas grandmother Sarah could be the missing piece of evidence needed to get some answers about our presidents background. 
1	Sources at the NuVista advertising agency have confirmed only moments ago that the ongoing conference call with headquarters in Chicago is going awesome. According to marketing agent Jared Meader, the call, which is currently taking place in the office's glass-walled conference room, has not only managed to secure the input of both vice president/account supervisors, but has reportedly 'blown through' three new-market initiatives in under 40 minutes. 'John [Shore] just gave everyone a thumbs-up,' Meader said. 'It's going better than we thought.' As of press time, the conference call has not yet ended, though Meader said there is no indication that the call is going any less awesome than it was before. 
2	What Obama Just Said About The Charlotte Protests Is Sickening On Thursday, the White House said that protestors angered by the shooting of a black man in Charlotte, North Carolina are raising legitimate concerns about disparities in the criminal-justice system. Those are difficult questions that must be confronted, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said in a statement. They cannot be ignored. President Obama spoke with North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory on the phone yesterday to receive an update on the situation. His primary concern is to ensure the safety of protesters. The president also hopes that the rights of peaceful protesters will be protected, he continued. But he also believes that it should be made clear that the protests must remain peaceful, and they should not be used as an excuse to engage in vandalism or violence. Mr. Earnest added that violence and looting only serves to distract from the issues that should be the subject of careful public scrutiny. In 2015, Obama convened a task force on policing to address the exact type of unrest. Earnest argued that he has played a leading role in trying to discuss publicly some of these issues and to raise these policy questions as legitimate priority. The president has, unfortunately, had numerous opportunities to address this topic, Earnest concluded. Whats clear is that theres important work to be done in local communities all across the country to build trust and strengthen the relationship between individual, and local law-enforcement. What do you think of Obamas comments? 
1	Expanding on its collection of over 30,000 aquatic animals, Chicagos John G. Shedd Aquarium opened its new Floating Carcasses Of The Pacific exhibit Wednesday, allowing visitors an up-close look at the vast diversity of dead and decaying marine life found throughout the worlds largest ocean. From entire schools of fish that were exposed to toxic agricultural runoff, to sea turtles that ingested floating plastic refuse, to otters unable to escape a marine oil spill, visitors will be amazed by the sheer array of dead animals in this exhibit, spokesman Ted Malpass said in a press release, noting that the decomposing remains of baby dolphins that had become tangled in trawlers fishing nets were sure to be a hit with children. And we are the only aquarium in the country to feature a fully grown 50-foot sperm whale that perished after its feeding grounds were overfished. You will definitely want to check out that big guy in person before he rots away. Malpass added that visitors who purchase tickets to the new exhibit would also receive free admission to the aquariums popular tank of Florida manatee corpses that were struck by speedboats.

1	After procrastinating for several hours by watching It's A Wonderful Life and old John Wayne movies, former Republican presidential nominee John McCain finally sat down at the computer to type his annual 'Christmas Bulletin' to friends and family early this afternoon, but found himself completely blocked. 'They say you're never too old to learn,' McCain slowly typed before pausing, reading the sentence over, and tapping the backspace key until it was deleted. Forty-five minutes later, after two aborted attempts to compose the letter from the point of view of the family cat, Oreo, and another about what 2009 held in store for the McCain clan, the Arizona senator took a break to make a cup of hot cocoa and listen to the grandfather clock ticking in the background. 'Jesus,' McCain mumbled. 'Jesus Christ.' McCain returned to the den around 5:30 p.m., at which point he placed a fresh stack of candy-cane stationery in the printer, stared at the screen for another 10 minutes, and finally decided to go to sleep for a long, long time. 
2	Officer Potrell Assassinated By Deranged Cop Killer, Please Pray For Him And His Family According to recent reports, and Ohio police officer was murdered on Sunday night by a man who was allegedly on a hunt to kill an officer. According to the ex-girlfriend of Herschel Jones III, he left the home with his weapons ready to kill a cop. Danville Office Thomas Cottrell was found dead without his service weapon or cruisers just before midnight, authorities at the Knox County Sheriffs department confirmed. Dispatchers had received a tip-off from a female caller that Danville cops were in danger because Jones had left with weapons and was looking to kill an officer. Dispatchers immediately tried to reach Cottrell but were unsuccessful. Later, when deputies searched the city, they found Cottrells body behind a municipal building 27 minutes after the initial call. The officer had been shot. Jones was taken into custody following a foot chase after he was spotted running from a residence. Of course, Obama has been noticeably silent about the incident, just has he has in previous officer assassinations. He has made it VERY clear that he does not support American law enforcement. What do you think? Do we need a leader who will defend our officers? 
2	Judge Judy Delivers Bad News To Welfare Cheat [VIDEO] American taxpayers are frustrated with what seems to be a growing population who is content to sit back and let the welfare system support their lifestyles. The truth of the matter is that this is blatant abuse of a system that was designed to help people short-term to overcome difficult periods of time. In this timely episode of Judge Judy, she confronts a thug who is taking advantage of the system to fuel his wasteful life. We gave you $22,000 per year for tuition and also $450 per month toward rent and not for cars, eating or shopping, she argues. Do you understand? I dont want to even pay your rent, the government says we have to pay your rent so we want that money sent for rent to be used for that, she continues. Watch the clip below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Judge Judy? 
2	White House Slips Up... Reveals Obamas True Feelings About Islam [VIDEO] Throughout President Obamas time in the White House, his administration has gone above and beyond to defend non-issues, while the important issues go untended. This was shown once more when White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest tried to prove that radical Islam is only a talking point for Republicans. You want to deal with this problem that happened in Orlando, you want to take it on, then call it what it is, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo said, according to reports. The presidents speech, while seen as effective on many different levels, didnt move the needle much on Islam, radical Islamic terror. People still feel (Obama) doesnt say it because he is afraid of dealing with this problem, that he lacks a fundamental toughness about calling it what it is, Cuomo continued. He didnt move the needle on that, Josh. And people even look at Orlando and say, Well, this is a reflection of that weakness as well. Fair? Earnest was quick to push back. No, Chris. It is outrageous, actually, Earnest replied. The truth of the matter is, the individuals who spend most of their time talking about radical Islamic terrorism are individuals like Republicans in the senate who voted against legislation that would prevent those individuals from being able to buy a gun. Of course, Earnest was ignoring the fact that Democrats also voted down two gun control bills earlier in the week, none of the proposals presented would have prevented Omar Mateen from purchasing a firearm. Using the term radical Islamic extremism is not a counterterrorism strategy, Earnest continued. It is a political talking point, plain and simple. And what the president of the United States has done, (he) has put forward a comprehensive strategy to squeeze the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria to inhibit their ability to recruit and radicalize around the globe. Of course, that is not the case either. Obama has been intentionally avoiding the subject, with is a political deflection. What do you think of Earnests comments? 
1	Clapping randomly as he struggled to follow the action on the field, a confused Eli Manning attempted to cheer for his older brother Peyton in the AFC Championship Sunday, barely comprehending the most basic elements of the game. 'Which one is Peyton? Is he the one kicking the ball?' said Manning, the Giants quarterback and Super Bowl XLII MVP. 'Are the numbers on the shirts always the same? Wait, is that Peyton's team? He stopped running by that side area, but there's nobody there and now he's sitting down. Come on! Throw it to the guy in the striped shirt, Peyton.' Eyewitnesses reported that Manning became very excited and shouted, 'Go, go, go, touchdown!' while the grounds crew worked on the field during halftime. 
2	FBI Reveals Obamas Statement That Could Put Hillary In Jail For 10 Years Recent reports indicate that Hillary Clinton might be prosecuted in federal court for not telling President Obama about her private email server. During a 60 Minutes interview recently, Obama claimed that he did not know that Clinton was skirted security protocols while she was Secretary of State. An FBI agent with two decades in federal law enforcement under his belt told reporters that failing to inform the President could land Clinton ten years in prison. The federal Espionage Act also criminalizes gross negligence by officials who are charged with safeguarding national defense information. The law also criminalizes any security clearance holder who doesnt notify his superior officer of a breach. If investigators conclude that the former secretary was criminally careless in how she approach the security of the sensitive documents in her possession, then this part of the law could be used to prosecute her, the agent claimed. What do you think? Should Clinton be behind bars instead of anywhere near the White House? 
3	Cell Phone Dangers: Loaded with Mercury, Chlorine, Cadmium, Health RisksLisa Garber In total, ifixit.com dismantled over a thousand cell phones to test for toxins by utilizing X-ray fluorescence to irradiate and measure the radiation given back by an object. Certain materialslike the toxinsare identified by the signature of radiation the object re-emits. Even the best phones from our study are still loaded with chemical hazards, bemoaned Jeff Gearhart, research director of the Ecology Center. He published the results of the study on his website, HealthyStuff.org. These chemicals [are] linked to birth defects, impaired learning, and other serious health problems. Although cell phones are extremely convenient, this convenience does not come without risk or consequence. Using a mobile device for any length of time is damaging to some degree, but new research is shedding light on just how significant of an influence extended cellphone use has on the brain. In one study, it was revealed that 10 years of cell phone use resulted in an average 290% increased risk of brain tumor development. Similarly, researchers found that 143 proteins in the brain were negatively impacted by radio frequency radiation over a period of 8 months. A total of 3 hours of cell phone exposure were simulated over the 8-month time period, and the results showed that many neural function related proteins functional relationship changed the for worse. Its no surprise that celebrity Sheryl Crow attributes her brain tumor to cell phone use. Whats more, cell phone dangers play an even greater role on children, who have thinner skulls and younger developing brains. One report shows just how prevalent cell phone dangers are for children. Due to developing organs, lower bone density of the skull, lower body weight, and a less effective blood brain barrier, children are especially vulnerable to cell phone radiation. This is even more true for unborn children, with research showing that microwave radiation emitted by cell phones negatively influencing fetal brains. It was also revealed in a study conducted 4 years ago that 54 percent of children born from mothers who used cell phones had behavioral issues. Whats more, the percentage jumped to 80 if the children grew up talking on cell phones frequently. Theres a reason the World Health Organization put cell phones in the same risk category as lead, engine exhaust, and chloroform. Toxic for the Environment Sadly, the earth, too, suffers from the toxins in cell phones. Mining tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold for cell phone production causes groundwater contamination, as well as human exploitation and brutality in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Moreover, once a cell phone is discarded, it is shipped to places in the world most Americans dont see much of, like China, India, Pakistan, Vietnam, and the Philippines, where underpaid workers handle the materials and are exposed to the toxins we go to such lengths to avoid, ourselves. [The toxins] have been found in soils at levels 10 to 100 times higher than background levels at e-waste recycling sites in China, says Gearhart. We need better federal regulation of these chemicals, and we need to create incentives for the design of greener consumer electronics. CEO of ifixit, Kyle Wiens, says that in 2009, 2.37 million tons of electronics were discarded. Of the digital castoffs, only 25 percent made it into recycling centers. We cant allow the other 75 percent of our old electronics to become waste. All those toxins add up. What We Can Do First and foremost, we ought to consider limiting our use of the luxury itemslike cell phonesin question. Buying used electronics can cut down on waste and keep items already in circulation out of landfills. As said by Wiens, we must keep pushing for better regulation of harmful materials. In the meantime, recycling e-waste properly can help keep toxins out of our groundwater.

2	CNN Blown Away By How Many Americans See Confederate Flag As Southern Pride According to a recent public opinion poll, the majority of Americans still view the Confederate flag as a symbol of Southern pride. This is a relief, given that the media has been attempting to paint it as a symbol of racism following the Charleston shooting. Liberals and several politicians have called for the removal of the flag from public places. The controversy began after the Charleston shooter who took the lives of nine African-Americans was scene in a picture with the flag. What do you think? Do you stand by the flags true meaning rather than those who have attempted to corrupt it? 
3	Russian-Iranian Relations Strengthen Amidst International SanctionsSteven MacMillan At the beginning of August, Russia and Iran signed a historic $20 billion oil deal which will see the two nations enhancing cooperation within the oil and gas industry, in addition to strengthening economic collaboration. The deal proposes that Russia will assist Tehran in developing its energy infrastructure along with purchasing Iranian oil, in exchange for Iran importing consumer goods and agriculture products including wheat, leather, pulses and meat. Further talks are set to take place at the Russia-Iran intergovernmental commission meeting in Tehran on September 9-10, which will see the details of the deal cemented. Relations between the two nations are complex and have ranged from collaborative to hostile in the last few decades, with a degree of tension existing between Moscow and Tehran over many issues today. The Caspian Sea is one dispute that has strained relations between the five bordering countries since the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. Russia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan are unable to agree on the legal portion owned by each state, in a sea which is home to vast deposits of oil and gas. Iran has also been displeased by Russias support of United Nations Security Council Resolutions which have imposed sanctions on Iran over the past decade, stunting the development of the Iranian economy. Yet the two nations have increasingly found themselves sharing the same geostrategic interests, especially in their support of Bashar al-Assad in his fight against western sponsored proxy forces in Syria. A closer strategic alliance with Iran could also benefit Russia through Tehran providing regional assistance to help stabilize the Caucasus and Central Asia. A vast amount of terrorist cells which have close links to the CIA have been active in the Caucasus for years now, in an effort to destabilize the underbelly of the Russia Federation. A Resource Rich Alliance The strength of Iran and Russia is underpinned by the two powers holding considerable deposits of oil and gas, and an increase in cooperation between Tehran and Moscow could be mutually beneficial considering the sanctions imposed on each state. Iran is a natural dominant player in the Middle East as it has the fourth-largest proved crude oil reserves on earth, along with the worlds second-largest natural gas reserves, in addition to having the 3rd largest population in the region of over 80 million. Russia holds the largest natural gas reserves in the world along with the eighth largest proved crude oil reserves. Moscow could be an essential importer of Iranian oil as the latest round of sanctions, imposed by the United States (US) and the European Union (EU) in 2011/2012, have had a sizable effect on the production and revenues received from the Iranian energy sector. Export revenues from oil and gas have plunged by 47% in the fiscal year 2012/2013 to $63 billion, according to the IMF, compared to an export revenue of $118 billion the previous year. Russia has also announced it will build a rail line in the North of Iran, running from the city of Rasht on the Caspian Sea to Astara on the Azerbaijan border. The decision by Western leaders to impose sanctions on Russia in March has pushed Moscow closer to Iran and China, as well as strengthening the BRICS group and the Eurasian Economic Community. In May, Russia and China agreed what was hailed by many analysts as the deal of the decade; when the two powers signed a 30-year gas deal totaling $400 billion. China and Iran also plan to boost trade over the next 10 years by a factor of 5, with trade expected to reach $200 billion by 2024, compared to $40 billion in 2013. Iran is a major supplier of crude oil to China with demand set to remain high as Beijing is now the largest net importer of crude oil, surpassing the US in September of last year. If the trend continues into the future, the emergence of a Russian-Iranian-Sino alliance would come to dominate the continent of Asia, and if truly independent of Western influence, would seriously challenge the Anglo-American international order.

3	Monsantos GM alfalfa contaminates Washington cropsRady Ananda Of course we knew this was going to happen. Alfalfa seeds are only 2mm in size and can spread for miles on the wind alone. The Oregon crew who sabotaged the GM beet fields in June didnt go far enough. Alfalfa is planted on 17 million acres in the US and earns over $8 billion a year, reports Reuters, adding: Exports of hay, including alfalfa, have been rising, hitting a record $1.25 billion in 2012, according to the USDAs Foreign Agricultural Service. Washington state is one of the largest producers of alfalfa for export. Alfalfa is the most common forage used for grazing, and the organic meat and dairy industries are dependent on GMO-free hay. Not only the organic industry, but biotechs inability to contain their product is also economically sabotaging export farmers who use chemicals, but not GM seeds. When Bayers GM rice contaminated a third of all US rice in 2006, no regulator stopped them: not the USDA, the EPA nor even the judicial system. Regulators are still investigating the GM wheat contamination in Oregon last May. The $8 billion wheat export business took a hit this year, and will likely suffer next year, thanks to another act of economic sabotage, the blame for which falls squarely on Monsanto, the company that brought us Agent Orange. But, throwing money at the problem wont fix it: Federal regulators and the biotech industry are contaminating all natural crops, whether we like it or not. This problem will not go away without serious intervention, because they do not want it to: this is the plan. The GM experiment started here, and contamination is worse here than anywhere else. Regulators have allowed GM crops to be planted in our wildlife refuges. Our refuges! The source of vast biodiversity, where pollinators caught a break from all the chemical farms. No more. Biotechs nasty chemicals see to that. Oh, sure, we won a partial victory back in 2011, when the US Fish Wildlife Service (FWS) agreed to yank GM plants from 11 Northeast states. In 2012, the Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, et al. got two dozen Southeastern refuges to be GM-free. The same plaintiffs just filed suit last month, again against the FWS, for allowing GM crops in refuges in Iowa, Missouri, Illinois and Minnesota. Anyone who believes that only less than half of California voters want GMO foods labeled, when 95% of the nation wants it, should just keep voting. But know this: All electronic vote counting systems can be hacked without detection. There are dozens of independent scientific studies proving this. Good luck on I-522, Washington. I genuinely suggest you hand count paper ballots. Its a good thing the Organic Growers and Seed Traders Assn, representing 300,000 people and over 4,500 farms, has taken their case to the US Supreme Court. They KNOW their fields will be contaminated. They are demanding a covenant not to sue (because in this Orwellian world, Monsanto sues farmers whose fields they destroy with their product, whose livelihoods they destroy, whose export business they destroy). But, maybe not such a good thing to take this to SCOTUS. In 2010, Monsanto lackeys including Clarence Thomas (former Monsanto lawyer) and Elena Kagan, deregulated GM alfalfa, despite evidence proving contamination would be unavoidable. Talk about collateral damage. In fact, thats the same term used by State Sen. Maralyn Chase, who told The Oregonian that Washingtons alfalfa contamination shows the dangers of genetically modified crops: Our states farmers are becoming collateral damage to the reckless practices of the agriculture industry in this country, Chase said. More than 60 of our trade partners throughout the world have bans on the import of unlabeled GMO foods. This government, now fronted by Obama, is about to bomb the life out of Syria, the same government that sprayed so much Agent Orange in Vietnam that four generations later, theyre still producing malformed babies. Both companies who profited from that contract, Dow and Monsanto, also produce genetically modified seeds and a requisite ecocidal chemical soup their seeds require. Those companies should have been shut down, permanently, for the number of lives theyve destroyed, here in the States as well. Truly, now is the time for all good folk to come to the aid of the planet.

3	This Cant Be True! Writing ContestPeter Macay My own family situation had led me to being virtually kicked out of school, embarking myself on a long list of employment opportunities, some of which only lasted half a day; I wanted more, was capable of more, I wasnt stupid but didnt understand what was going on in my life. At 18 I kind of grew up a little and had developed a conscience, I didnt want other kids to go through what I experienced as a kid and decided my motivation and personal experience was best suited to community work. And, the politics of the day had created university courses for people like me who had come out of school with nothing in the way of certificates and I eventually found myself coming out of Manchester Polytechnic with a professional qualification, the world was good! The darkness and frustration of the damaged lives I had been working with spilled over into my own personal life. I often went home frustrated and hurting. A cold beer and a dose of TV didnt diminish my feelings of despair at the end of the day, in fact it felt like it was making it worse.well, the beer was ok, but the TV news just depressed me even more, so I stopped watching it. Within a few weeks or so I felt like I had moved to a new planet. I discovered old feelings of enjoyment and wasnt so bloody pessimistic according to my friends! I wasnt spending anywhere near as much of my brain space being negative or feeling helpless, in fact I still had the desire to help change my fellow mans lot but now with a greater belief things could actually be achieved. I had become convinced the TV news was so concentrated on the negatives in our world, it was increasing my depression about the state of our society and almost shackling me to a belief that acceptance of the staus quo is the best (non) response. This was now the 90s, computers and the internet had recently arrived and I realized this incredible communication network allowed me to source news from independent journalists, you know, those people that used to chase the truth and had integrity. Some of them still existed I found! I was gobsmacked and elated and felt like Id found some new friends. Anyway, in one of my early forays into the world of technology provided information, I came upon a story by accident, one I almost ignored. It said that George Bush Snrs father, Prescott Bush, had, throughout the second world war, sold aviation fuel to the Nazis. Yeah right, I thought, this cannot possibly be true, there would have been a global uproar if that was the case. Something so big could not possibly have happened without the whole world knowing about it. However, I thought, if this was another of those ludicrous sensationalist nonsense articles, they have gone too far by targeting this powerful family, they will crucify the journo! And so, I searched for what I was sure must have been a court case brought about by the Bush family. It didnt take much searching to find out there was no court case, the journo was right, the story was true! Oh, Prescott had been apparently charged, but only after the war ended and he was only fined and that section of his business closed but no action was taken by the US Government for treason. Something he was clearly guilty of under the circumstances I would have thought. He had made a fortune supplying Hitlers air force, planes that bombed and killed tens of thousands including US soldiers, it was hard to comprehend that this had actually happened. I didnt know anyone who knew about it. What the hell! One of the richest families in America, a family that had subsequently created a huge oil wealth and all funded by profits made by selling fuel to the enemy. what! How can this have happened? Still finding it hard to believe, I searched more and more and all evidence of the truth was readily available and on public record but only for those willing to take the time to look for it. This was my introduction to the world of well kept secrets or at least information that existed but needed one to actively search for it. This had of course, caused me to ask myself many further questions. How much more information was out there that I know nothing about? Why is such information not splashed throughout the media? How can something so huge be almost unheard of ? What else dont I know and why dont I know it? I had caught the bug, I wanted to know, needed to know, felt I had a right to know. I had overcome my initial fear of computers by feeling compelled to know the truth about more and more of our world. With every follow up search I made, the more new things came to light, things that angered me. The more I read the more I began to understand why what appeared to be great strides made by ourselves in the 60s and 70s had not actually produced a more stable and equitable society. Far from it. At this point I found David Icke. I have to admit I was by now harboring a great sense of mistrust of all things American and Davids English accent did seem to give me a little comfort and after watching a YouTube video of one of his talks, the larger picture was put in perspective for me. Many of my dots were joined and I began to take a more serious look at our world, or more to the point, the parts of our world in which serious decisions are made, decisions that effect the whole planet. And I wanted to know who is making them, how and why? And so, the fight was now on and I was not about to let them win. I do not want my grand-kids and their kids to spend a whole life never knowing the freedoms to think and act without surveillance. I do not believe this species does not have the right to individualism and freedom of will and I will not go to my grave believing I did not try to help correct the gigantic injustices that have and are occurring everyday in our world at the hands of a very small number of selfish, arrogant, cold hearted, greedy, sick hypocrites. Life can be far too beautiful to allow that to happen.

2	BREAKING: Trump Issues Urgent Call To Christians... Spread This Donald Trump has quickly become one of the most controversial presidential candidates of all time. Thats probably because hes more inclined to speak his mind than to attempt to be politically incorrect. The Christians are being treated horribly because we have nobody to represent the Christians, Trump told his supporters. Believe me, if I run and I win, I will be the greatest representative of the Christians theyve had in a long time. Trump went on to call out the Obama administration for their lack of action in the matter. I learned this weekendthat if youre a Christian living in Syria you cant come into this country, Trump continued. Yet if you are a Muslim living in Syria, who is not under attack, they can come in. We have Christians being beheaded all over the world by ISIS. In Syria and in Iraq, in particular, those Christians cant come into this country. Trumps comments have gained the attention and support of thousands of Christians who may not have considered him as a candidate. Trump takes hits for his boldness, David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network told reporters. Evangelicals take hits from society for their biblical boldness, too. What do you think? Will you consider voting for Trump?

1	Saying they couldnt bear to see their boy upset, unhappy local couple Denise and Peter Gale resolved to stay together for the sake of one of their children, 7-year-old Daniel, sources reported Monday. It would just break Daniels heart if we did this to him while hes still so youngI cant even imagine how awful that would be for him, said the 36-year-old mother of three, adding that she wouldnt be able to handle the devastated look on her oldest childs face when they sat him down and told him they were getting divorced. At the very least, well wait a while until hes off to college and the house is a little quieter. Then maybe its something we can address. Gale added that if another decade of marital strife was the price she would have to pay to give her first son a happy childhood, it was well worth it. 
3	Taking on Bladder Cancer with CannabisConstant Change Two years went by without a problem and then blood appeared again in the urine followed by another resection in December 2012. This was followed 2 months later (Feb 2013) by another to cauterize excessive bleeding and I was advised by the Urologist that the tumour was quite invasive. In the meantime all sorts of scenarios passed through my mind including the finality (physical) of euthanasia because the thought of bladder removal and leading a healthy life as an invalid was not very appealing to me. Anyway, after the second operation in February the Urologist recommended chemotherapy and then after the third operation changed his mind to radiation therapy. However, with several years of experience researching the antics of government legislation, in particular Big Pharma, I decided to use an alternative natural treatment cannabis extract oil that I had read about from the website of Rick Simpson. Well, fortunately, I live in Guatemala so growing the plant was not a big problem. In fact, I have 4 more plants growing now from which I will extract the oil. In addition to taking cannabis oil, I decided to juice one meal a day and stick to an almost complete vegetarian diet with no processed sugar or salt. The idea of juicing seemed to be common sense and as I had tried it years ago in Mexico I started in earnest after the last operation. So for the last couple of months I have been ingesting the oil twice a day, as well as juicing carrots, chard, beets, apples. and lemons once a day. I have also tried the leaves of the sour-sop tree steeped as a tea and am trying to determine a good daily dose as it appears to be very strong as it resulted in a slight bladder irritation. I feel generally well with good appetite, I have no internal bleeding now for about 2 weeks, but still some pain on urinating. I have confidence that my alternative treatments will serve me well. Follow my alternative cancer treatment journal at my blog. I would be pleased to answer any questions. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	BREAKING: This Is The Michael Brown Controversy On Steroids Thousands of protestors have taken to rioting in the streets of Baltimore following the death of Freddie Gray in police custody. What started as a peaceful rally has turned into pure chaos that might put Ferguson to shame. Groups of protestors smashed police car windows and destroyed storefronts near Camden Yards, where the Baltimore Orioles were playing the Boston Red Sox. Others threw cans and bottles at officers, and one protestor even broke into a police car and wore a police hat sitting on the front seat. At least two people were hurt in the chaos, and more than three people were detained. Some of the anger stemmed from the fact that Deputy Commissioner Kevin Davis admitted that Gray should have received medical attention right when he was arrested, instead of being placed in a police transport. Gray died while suffering a fatal spinal injury. He was in police custody, but authorities have not yet determined when or how Grays spine was injured. What do you think of the protests? Is violence ever the answer? 
1	Despite the hard-fought defensive struggle between the Steelers and the Ravens playing out before him, ESPN commentator Tony Kornheiser was able to complete a rant decrying guttural noises in women's tennis Monday night without acknowledging the football game in any way. 'I was watching it, and I could hear for myself: Maria Sharapova literally grunted on a drop shot,' Kornheiser said while the Steelers scored on a 38-yard TD pass to Santonio Holmes and recovered a Joe Flacco fumble for another score, all in a 15-second span of game time. Kornheiser also effectively cut off Ron Jaworski's detailed description of the breakdown in the Ravens' pass protection, saying, 'It's a drop shot, you know? Why do you need to do that? I can make a drop shot without grunting, for God's sake. The other day I came to the net, no grunt. Then the ball came back whizzing past my head at about a hundred miles an hour. But ya know, she plays tennis, I play tennis. Tennis is tennis. Is grunting tennis? It is not.' Though Jeff Reed's game-winning kick in overtime was unable to capture Kornheiser's attention sufficiently enough to penetrate the anecdote, a shot of a mildly overweight fan celebrating in the stands did prompt Kornheiser to conjecture that the fan 'heard lunch was a buffet.' 
1	DALLAS, TXSix weeks after Jim Wanzeck's departure from Pedro's Mexican restaurant, remaining employees have begun to romanticize their former colleague, kitchen sources revealed Monday. Pedro's employees reminisce about Wanzeck (inset). Wanzeck, who waited tables during the evening shift on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, is now recalled as an irreplaceable staff member who helped his colleagues endure the daily drudgery of working at the local Tex-Mex restaurant. Bartender Manuel Padilla, who has worked at Pedro's for the past two years, characterized the former coworker as 'one of a kind.' 'I'll never forget how, every time he messed up a drink order, he'd try to blame me,' Padilla added. 'God, then there was the time he threw his nametag in the deep fryer. It got all bubbly, but he wore it for the rest of his shift. It was like he punked himself! Legendary.' 'A lot of nights, it was Jim, me, [shift manager] Tim [Felix], and [waitress] Shelley [Carver] closing together,' Padilla said. 'Jim would inch the volume of the dining-room radio up until Tim noticed and made him turn it down. Man, that guy!' Coworkers said Wanzeck often entertained them with elaborate stories about his difficult landlord, cheerless girlfriend, and trouble-prone car. 'He had a lot of shit going on,' said Susan Phillips, hostess at Pedro's. 'But he just rolled with it. Sure, he was always gone from work for some crisis or another, but he didn't let it get him down. He always got other people to pick up his shift instead of just not showing up. He was cool that way.' A photo hanging in the kitchen, taken at last year's staff Christmas party, often prompts staff members to rhapsodize about Wanzeck. In it, the former employee is standing in the background, smoking. Glancing at the photo, waitress Lila Rickman said, 'That's totally Wanzeck right there. I'll bet he bummed that cigarette off me. Man, I miss that guy.' Padilla recalled one of Wanzeck's catch phrases. 'When he'd get pissed at somebody, he'd say, 'What a douche!'' Padilla said. 'Sometimes, it was 'What a fucking douche!' That saying was classic Wanzeck.' Padilla added: 'He did this Bush impression where he'd make fun of how stupid he was. He hated Bush. Whenever Bush came on the radio, he'd call him a douche.' Shamiqua Taylor, a former waitress at Pedro's, best remembers Wanzeck for the pranks he would occasionally play. 'One time, somebody got shortchanged an enchilada. They complained, and Jim told them there was a worldwide enchilada shortage. And the best part was, he totally made that up.' 'I can't believe they fired Wanny,' Padilla said. 'You know, we didn't call him 'Wanny' when he was here, but that's the kind of nickname he deserves. Yeah, good old Wanny. This place ought to name a margarita 'The Wannerita.'' Even coworkers who never knew Wanzeckwho was fired after a manager found a list of customer credit-card numbers in his lockersoon discover the length of the former employee's shadow. On the first day of his training, Wanzeck's replacement, Jorge Reyes, was led on a tour of the restaurant by Padilla and Rick Santiago. Outside the walk-in freezer, Shepard pointed to the corner of the ceiling. 'Yeah, see that hairnet up in the heating vent?' Santiago asked. 'The guy who just left threw that up there. And that middle finger added to the waving cactus-man on the promotional banner? You can hardly see itthey erased most of itbut he did that, too.' 'No, I think Suroosh drew that,' Padilla interjected. 'Oh, rightSuroosh,' Santiago said. 'I wonder where that guy is now. He was great.' 
1	JERUSALEMArab-Israeli relations took a major step forward Monday, when a zany mix-up resulted in the overnight confinement of PLO leader Yasir Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a refrigerated meat locker. PLO leader Yasir Arafat and Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu share a good laugh after being trapped together in a meat locker overnight. According to reports, the incident occurred when Arafat and Netanyahuwho were in Jerusalem negotiating the possible transfer of several West Bank settlements from Israeli to Palestinian controlgot sidetracked into a visit to the butcher shop owned by the Israeli prime minister's gruff-but-lovable Uncle Shlomo. 'We offered to help him hang some freshly delivered sides of beef in the meat locker so he could close the store and go home early,' said Arafat, recounting the nutty ordeal that forged a bond between the once-bitter Mideast rivals. 'We were the only ones in the building hauling these carcasses into the freezer while the door was propped open with a broom.' When the last side of beef was hung in place, Arafat said, he noticed how messy the meat locker was, observing aloud that 'a good cleaning would really do the place some good.' 'So Netanyahu, that bumbling fool, says, 'Oh, here's a broom, Yasir,' and grabs the broom holding the meat-locker door open, trapping us inside overnight. I was so mad, all I could do was hit him over the head repeatedly with my burnoose while he shrugged mischievously.' Arafat said that he and his Israeli counterpart did not get along well during the first few hours of the ordeal. 'For one thing, Netanyahu was an utter slob, leaving candy and gum wrappers everywhere, while I attempted to keep the locker as tidy as possible, sweeping constantly and even going so far as to improvise an apron out of a discarded potato sack.' According to Netanyahu, relations between the Mideast leaders only grew worse as the night progressed. 'Yasir just wouldn't let up on me. He criticized my Gaza Strip and West Bank policies, questioned my commitment to securing a lasting peace, and made fun of me for the time I switched places with a rock 'n' roll singer who looked just like me. I thought that was really uncalled-for, considering not only his failure to build a consensus between the Palestinian Authority and more extreme right-wing Arab groups like Hamas, but the occasion when he paid his landlady, Mrs. Slotnick, $50 to pretend she was married to him so he could impress an old high-school acquaintance.' Uncle Shlomo in the Jerusalem meat locker where once-bitter rivals Arafat and Netanyahu forged a deeper understanding of one another. The turning point came at approximately 2 a.m., when, despite their strong animosity toward one another, the pair realized that they would have to huddle together to conserve body heat if they were to avoid freezing to death. 'As we huddled together, using an empty sack as a sort of makeshift blanket, we seemed only to get madder and madder at each other. But, without even realizing it, we were actually growing closer and closer.' Moments before Uncle Shlomo returned to the store at 7 a.m., discovering the half-frozen pair, Netanyahu voiced his opinion that they would not survive. 'I said to Yasir, 'You know, I don't think we're going to make it.' And Yasir replied, 'Yeah, I guess not. Too bad we couldn't create a true peace between our peoples,' I was touched by that, and I told him I thought he was an okay guy, and he said, 'Yeah, you're not too bad, either.' It was then that Uncle Shlomo opened the door, saving our lives.' 'It's lucky Bibi's uncle found us when he did,' Arafat said. 'When the locker was finally opened, I actually had frost covering my beard and small icicles hanging from my nose, not to mention a pale, bluish cast to my face.' After being rescued and revived with hot cocoa, the warring leaders realized that their traumatic experience had given them a greater understanding of each other. 'What Yasir and I went through together in that freezer made me realize that we're not so different, after all. It made me realize that, like me, he's a man motivated not by hatred for his enemy but by love for his people. I've now forgiven him for all the wrongs he's done me in the past, from the time he authorized a PLO mortar-shelling of a Golan Heights settlement, killing 47 Israeli innocents, to the time he sold me that shampoo that turned my hair green.' Few had expected Arafat and Netanyahu to come together anytime soon, with tensions at an all-time high ever since March 19, when the PLO leader indignantly painted a white line down the middle of Jerusalem's Old City, refusing to acknowledge events on 'Netanyahu's side' of the line. It is believed to be the greatest wacky-adventure-driven improvement in international relations since January 1995, when British Prime Minister John Major and Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams were trapped in an elevator together with a woman about to give birth. 
3	A Full-Blown Economic Crisis Has Erupted In RussiaMichael Snyder So it should be no surprise that the fact that the price of oil has declined by almost 50 percent since June is absolutely catastrophic for the Russian economy. And when you throw in international sanctions, wild money printing by the Central Bank of Russia and unprecedented capital flight, you get the ingredients for an almost perfect storm. But those of us living in the Western world should not be too smug about what is happening in Russia, because the nightmare that is unfolding over there is just a preview of the economic chaos that will soon envelop the whole world. So far this year, the Russian ruble has fallen nearly 50 percent against the U.S. dollar. That is a monumental shift. And as the collapse of the ruble has accelerated in recent days, we are seeing scenes in Russia that are reminiscent of the Weimar Republic. For example, just consider the following excerpt from an article that just appeared in the New York Times Scenes that Russians hoped had receded into the past reappeared on the streets: Currency exchange signs blinked ever-changing digits, and Russians rushed to appliance stores to buy washing machines or televisions to unload rubles. We are seeing an economic crisis, Natalia V. Akindinova, a professor at the Higher School of Economics, said in a telephone interview. We are seeing a sharp devaluation of the ruble at a time when the central bank doesnt have the reserves to influence the market, as it did in the past crises. In a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, the Central Bank of Russia made an astounding move. Last night it raised its key interest rate from 10.5 percent all the way up to 17 percent. It was hoped that this desperate move would keep the ruble from plummeting any further. And it did work for a few minutes, but then the collapse of the ruble resumed. This is howZero Hedge described the carnage For those wondering if the CBRs intervention in the Russian FX market with its shocking emergency rate hike to 17% overnight calmed things, the answer is yes for about two minutes. The USDRUB indeed tumbled nearly 10% to 59 and then promptly blew right back out, the Ruble crashing in panic selling and seemingly without any CBR market interventions, and at last check was freefalling through 72 74, and sending the Russian stock market plummeting by over 15%. So why is this happening now? Well, the biggest reason for the freefall of the ruble is the fact that the Central Bank of Russia just printed up about 625 billion rubles and gave it to their friends at Rosneft. Rosneft is an absolutely massive oil company that is controlled by the Russian government. For months, Rosneft has been asking for a bailout (sound familiar?) to refinance loans that can no longer be rolled over with western banks because of economic sanctions. And on Friday they got one. In an attempt to quietly slip this massive injection of new money past everyone, Rosneft issued 625 billion rubles worth of new bonds just before the weekend and the Central Bank of Russia gobbled most of those new bonds up with freshly created money. Unfortunately for Rosneft and the Central Bank of Russia, the rest of the world took notice So that is what led to the panic selling that we witnessed on Monday. Meanwhile, money is being pulled out of Russia at an absolutely staggering pace. As confidence in the ruble and in the Russian financial system disappears, wealthy people are feverishly trying to protect their wealth by moving it somewhere else. The following is an excerpt from an editorial thatMohamed A. El-Erian recently penned for Business Insider Rather than bring in buyers at these substantially cheaper levels, Russian currency weakness is inducing more selling, including by a growing number of worried bank depositors who, instead of holding their savings in ruble, are opting for safer dollars. The larger the extent of this currency substitution, the bigger the scope for capital flight out of Russia. This puts even greater pressure on the currency, aggravating the output contraction, imported inflation, and the general sense economic and financial instability. It has been estimated that total capital outflows for 2015 will reach an astounding $128 billion. And this could just be the beginning of the economic troubles for Russia. If the price of oil stays this low or goes even lower, the Russian economy will shrink. The only question ishow much it will contract The Bank of Russia said Monday that the country could sink into a deep recession next year if oil prices remain at $60 a barrel. GDP could contract by as much as 4.7% in 2015, and then by a further 1.1% in 2016 unless oil prices pick up. Sadly, it isnt just oil producing nations such as Russia that are going to be devastated by the coming crisis. Eventually, the entire globe is going to feel the pain. Last week was the worst week for global financial markets in three years, and so many of the exact same patterns that we witnessed just prior to the great financial crisis of 2008 are happening once again. We have been living in a false bubble of relative stability for the past couple of years, but now time is running out. The next great financial crisis is rapidly approaching, and 2015 promises to be the most interesting year that we have seen in ages. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

1	Insisting that if the young street musician doesnt apply himself more, hell never work his way up to a good busking spot in Times Square, local mother Rita Skolnick reportedly told her son Wednesday to go upstairs right now and get to practicing his buckets. When you begged me to get you those buckets, you promised youd practice an hour every day, and now they just sit there collecting dust, Skolnick shouted at her son Tyler, 15, pointing at a pair of white plastic buckets in the corner of his room. You should be setting aside a solid block of time every afternoon to sit down and practice your buckets. Thats the only way youre going to get better. Sources confirmed that half an hour later, Skolnick again yelled at her son when she went into his room and found him sitting on one of his buckets and playing video games. 
2	Muslim Student Goes After Clint Eastwood, And Make THIS Outrageous Demand The University of Missouri received public backlash from a Muslim student after announcing that it intended to screen American Sniper on campus. The movie about American hero Chris Kyle is the top grossing film of 2014. According to reports, Farah El-Jayyousi recently issued a statement claiming that such a screen would make her feel unsafe. She also demanded an apology and explanation from the University. This film is blatant racist, colonialist propaganda that should not be shown under any circumstances and especially not endorsed by a branch of student government that purports to represent me and have my best interests in mind, El-Jayyousi writes. The radical Muslim feminist also went on to accuse the film of dehumanizing Muslims while glorifying a killer with no regard for human life. Showing this film will create an even more hostile environment for me and other Arab, Muslim, South Asian and people of color on this campus, she continued. I am asking that this film not be shown and that an official, public apology and explanation be issued by all parties involved in approving the screening. The University of Missouris student government claims that it has received numerous letters in support of El-Jayyousi but that a common threat in the debate is the tension between free speech and a students right to feel safe on campus. Ultimately, the student government decided to move forward with the screening of the popular American flick. What do you think? Do you support the University of Missouris decision to continue on with the screening? 
1	On seas of blood we now set forth With blades of fear we gut and gorge We are the terror of the North Formed in Odins fiery forge. Beat them! Rape them! Blood! Blood! Blood! ITHACA, NY (AP)This is a translation of just one of the verses which will replace Cornell Universitys current fight song when Baron Kurt Von Gottsbldiner takes over possession of the college on January 1, 1996. The serene Cornell campus will soon be alive with the battle cry of the Baron's bloodthirsty horde. Once his newly acquired Ivy League foot soldiers are battle-ready he will lead a daring assault on the godless duchy of SUNY-Binghamton. Cash-starved New York State put the land grant portion of the Ivy League school up for sale in a last-ditch effort to raise money for the state university system. The privately held portion soon followed suit, bowing to both pressure from Governor George Pataki and fear of pillaging on the part of the barons hordes. Itll take some getting used to, but I think New York is going to love it, Pataki said. Making Cornell a barony will not only save our education system, but create a unique, laboratory-like opportunity for historians to study the effects of random tyranny and senseless violence on fresh-faced, upper middle-class college students. Baron Von Gottsbldiner used funds from his inestimable family fortune to purchase Cornell, which is located in the small, isolated town of Ithaca and surrounded by deep natural gor-ges. It can be sealed like the turtles shell and de-fended like a hornets nest, Von Gottsbldiner said. The Baron, who negotiated with the university this summer and began processing the legal work in October, has promised many changes for the Cornell students. Welcome Week will be replaced by a series of duels between male freshmen and the Barons legendary Horde of Skulls. Losers will have their heads affixed to pikes around the mall while winners will be indentured to the horde and trained for combat. Chancellor Vance Elkye told reporters that the new freshman placement system would serve as a guarantee that Cornell would remain as selective as possible. For incoming women students, there will be a lengthy test of purity involving relics of the Virgin Marys sheets which are said to turn black over the wombs of soiled women. Virgins will repor-tedly be sequest-ered in the new stronghold of Ris-ley Hall, while those of inferior moral stature will be set to work in the fields next to the art museum. Those fields will, in fact, see a lot of action, as English and math requirements will be replaced with a 60-hour per week Serfdom Re-quirement which will teach the value of sowing, reaping and submitting to harsh and unfair taxation. Students in the art and architecture departments have already been set to work building a frescoed chapel in the center of campus. When finished, it will be the tallest building on campus, featuring a 400-foot baroque spire. Its purpose is to bring their sinful toiling bodies and my majesty closer to the face of God, Gotts-bldiner said. Elyke said that despite the initial difficulties of re-adjustment, students can rest assured that the Cornell administration is overseeing all changes and will ensure that the universitys commitment to education and di-versity re-mains un-changed. Elkye ensured reporters that the hairshirt he and other administrators were wearing was good insulation. Not everyone in Ithaca has taken to feudalism like the Cornell administration, though. Area merchants have complained that members of the horde are already causing significant property damage with their nightly raids. Three times theyve come in here and set fire to the sweatshirts, said Tom Sklar, owner of Kampus Kaboodles. And they blood-eagled my best clerk. The blood eagle is a favorite battle ritual of the horde, and involves pulling the lungs of your enemy through his back and flinging them over his shoulders, creating an eagle shape. In response to complaints, captain Gustaf Lieb-fraumurter issued a statement ex-plaining the Ba-rons position on the practice raids. This spring we will lead a glorious assault on the god-less duchy of SUNY-Bing-ham-ton, the statement read. No virgin will be left untouched, no field unscarred and the riches of their merchants will be showered upon us. Liebfraumurter ex-plained that the loot taken from the scum and villainy of Binghamton would more than compensate for any loss of life or damage done to local stores and fields.

Every day, he misses his father, Louisiana State Trooper Steven Vincent. Its been hard, nine-year-old Vincent told reporters, real hard. Fortunately, Vincent has Duck Dynasty stars Willie and Uncle Si Robertson to look up to. I like (Uncle) Si because hes funny and he drinks tea like meI like it sweet, Vincent told reporters as he was visiting the Duck Commander Warehouse in West Monroe. Occasionally, Vincent was able to blow on the duck call the Si helped him assemble. His mother was there to accompany him on the trip. Its going to be a long drive home, his mother laughed. Vincent claims he loves watching the show because I like to hunt and fish and they all seem like theyre having a good time. What do you think? Do you support the members of Duck Dynasty and all that they do for the American public? 
1	Unable to rest their eyes on a colorful photograph or boldface heading that could be easily skimmed and forgotten about, Americans collectively recoiled Monday when confronted with a solid block of uninterrupted text. Dumbfounded citizens from Maine to California gazed helplessly at the frightening chunk of print, unsure of what to do next. Without an illustration, chart, or embedded YouTube video to ease them in, millions were frozen in place, terrified by the sight of one long, unbroken string of English words. 'Why won't it just tell me what it's about?' said Boston resident Charlyne Thomson, who was bombarded with the overwhelming mass of black text late Monday afternoon. 'There are no bullet points, no highlighted parts. I've looked everywherethere's nothing here but words.' 'Ow,' Thomson added after reading the first and last lines in an attempt to get the gist of whatever the article, review, or possibly recipe was about. At 3:16 p.m., a deafening sigh was heard across the country as the nation grappled with the daunting cascade of syllables, whose unfamiliar letter-upon-letter structure stretched on for an endless 500 words. Children wailed for the attention of their bewildered parents, businesses were shuttered, and local governments ground to a halt as Americans scanned the text in vain for a web link to click on. Sources also reported a 450 percent rise in temple rubbing and under-the-breath cursing around this time. 'It demands so much of my time and concentration,' said Chicago resident Dale Huza, who was confronted by the confusing mound of words early Monday afternoon. 'This large block of text, it expects me to figure everything out on my own, and I hate it.' 'I've never seen anything like it,' said Mark Shelton, a high school teacher from St. Paul, MN who stared blankly at the page in front of him for several minutes before finally holding it up to his ear. 'What does it want from us?' As the public grows more desperate, scholars are working to randomly italicize different sections of the text, hoping the italics will land on the important parts and allow everyone to go on with their day. For now, though, millions of panicked and exhausted Americans continue to repetitively search the single column of print from top to bottom and right to left, looking for even the slightest semblance of meaning or perhaps a blurb. Some have speculated that the never-ending flood of sentences may be a news article, medical study, urgent product recall notice, letter, user agreement, or even a binding contract of some kind. But until the news does a segment in which they take sections of the text and read them aloud in a slow, calm voice while highlighting those same words on the screen, no one can say for sure. There are some, however, who remain unfazed by the virtual hailstorm of alternating consonants and vowels, and are determined to ignore it. 'I'm sure if it's important enough, they'll let us know some other way,' Detroit local Janet Landsman said. 'After all, it can't be that serious. If there were anything worthwhile buried deep in that block of impenetrable English, it would at least have an accompanying photo of a celebrity or a large humorous title containing a pop culture reference.' Added Landsman, 'Whatever it is, I'm pretty sure it doesn't even have a point.' 
1	The NCAA Board of Directors made the decision Wednesday to expand its men's basketball tournament to however many teams 'really and truly believe' they ought to be involved. 'Who are we to bar a school from the Big Dance if they just know in their heart of hearts that they deserve a shot?' said NCAA interim president Jim Isch, adding that the maximum number of teams permitted would only be limited by the number of schools that believe in themselves. 'Of course, for any team out there that wants to be in the tournament but doesn't quite think it deserves it, I say go ahead and put your name on the list anyway. Seriously, what's one more team?' Immediately following the announcement, all 342 Division I schools signed up for the 2011 tournament except Loyola Marymount.

2	Obama Humiliates America On An International Level After Traveling To Europe To Warn Them About Trump According to reports from Conservative101, President Barack Obama just warned Greece about our countrys president-elect, Donald Trump. As if the last eight years werent embarrassing enough, Obama felt the need to criticize our next leader. [The recession] left, I think, fear and anxiety in a lot of peoplea sense that the economy wasnt as certain as it could be, and maybe the game was rigged on Wall Street or by special interests in Washington, or what have you, Obama began. And thats been there. I was also aware of it because of the fact that youve seen some of the rhetoric among public and elected officials and activists and mediasome of it pretty troubling and not necessarily connected to facts, but being used effectively to mobilize people, he continued. And obviously President-elect trump tapped into that particular strain within the Republican Party and then was able to broaden that enough and get enough votes to win the election, he concluded. This type of commentary about our future leader makes our country look weak and unstablethat is not the message we want to be spreading internationally. What do you think about Obamas actions? Are you ready to have him out of the White House once and for all? 
2	Harry Reid Squirms With Pathetic Excuse After Being Caught Lying About His Tax Returns I Did What Was... Harry Reid has just been exposed for the lying manipulator he really is. In 2012, when Mitt Romney ran for president, Reid claimed without evidence that Romney hadnt paid taxes in 10 years. This was a common talking point on the Democratic side. As we know, he has refused to release his tax returns, Reid commented at the time. If a person coming before this body wanted to be a Cabinet officer, he couldnt be if he had the same refusal Mitt Romney does about tax returns. So the word is out that he has not paid any taxes for 10 years. Let him prove he has paid taxes, because he has not. Recently, Reid was called out for starting fake news. The caller asked if the brazen lie he told about Mitt Romney not paying his taxes has in any way contributed to the fake news debate that we now find ourselves in. Reid was quick to respond to the accusation, defending his actions. First of all, there were no brazen lies, Reid commented. What I said is the truth. Theres no brazen lies. A few moments later, he contradicted himself, saying, I did what was necessary. What do you think? Should Reid be held accountable for his actions?

The two had a very heated exchange over CNNs role in pushing Buzzfeeds unsubstantiated accusations about Trump hiring Russian prostitutes to pee on him. Even the New York Times and NBC admitted the story was tasteless and clearly fake news. Conway accused CNN of pushing the narrativea claim that Cooper vehemently denied. CNN is not BuzzFeed, he said. I just wish you guys would acknowledge it. I know CNN is feeling the heat today, Kellyanne pushed back. I think you guys are feeling the heat! Cooper responded. If you couldnt corroborate it, why would you even link to it? Kellyanne demanded. If cybersecurity were such a big priority to this administration and the Democratic Party and its apologists in the media, then why didnt we do more about it over the last eight years? Watch the segment below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Conway? Anderson Cooper 360 (@AC360) January 12, 2017 
1	In an interview before todays game against the San Francisco 49ers, Jets head coach Rex Ryan described how quarterbacks Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow's typically warm-up by throwing passes in each other's general direction. Mark usually chucks a couple balls over Tims head, and then Tim throws a few that either fall way short or sail shakily out of bounds, said Ryan, who explained that the exercise helps the quarterbacks settle into their comfort zones. If they establish a rhythm in warmups and start getting the ball in approximately the right area, it really helps them avoid intentional grounding penalties on the incomplete passes they throw during the game when it counts. At press time, Tebow and Sanchez were working on their agility by running to retrieve all the balls that had rolled under sideline benches. 
1	A pair of Islamic Shi'ite terrorists, wanted in connection with a string of airport bombings dating back to 1983, broke out of Tanner County Jail Monday, escaping justice by crossing the county line, sources close to the sheriff said. Sheriff Buford Colfax gives up his hot pursuit of Hezbollah terrorists Ahmad and Gamel Farouk after the pair jumped across Crooked Creek in their souped-up Mustang. Cousins Ahmad and Gamel Farouk, longtime Hezbollah members and internationally wanted terrorists, are believed to be hiding out in neighboring Calhoun County, beyond the jurisdiction of Tanner County authorities. 'We'll never get 'em now,' said Deputy Clem Pickett, who fell asleep while guarding the Islamic extremists and woke up tied to his chair. 'Once somebody crosses that county line, it's over.' 'Them boys done hijacked that Pan Am Flight 140 and killed 11 passengers back in '92,' Sheriff Buford Colfax said. 'That ain't right.' At 2 p.m., Colfax received an emergency CB transmission reporting that Ahmad and Gamel Farouk had escaped from jail and were headed for the county line in their souped-up Mustang, the affectionately nicknamed 'General Habib.' Colfax then chased the Islamic fundamentalists to Crooked Creek. 'I thought I had them trapped there,' he said. 'After all, everyone knows that ever since the bridge washed out in the big flood there's been no way to get across Crooked Creek.' The Shi'ites, however, were not deterred by the missing bridge. Using nearby road construction as a makeshift ramp, the pair jumped all the way across the creek. Stunned by their bold move, Colfax drove into the creek, wrecking his car and soaking himself and his lethargic bloodhound, Willie. Witnesses said that Colfax then crawled out from under his overturned police cruiser and threw his hat to the ground, shouting, 'Ooh, them Shi'ites!' After landing on the far side of Crooked Creek, the Shi'ites easily penetrated a county-line roadblock set up by the sheriff's department by driving the General Habib on two wheels, squeezing through a gap between two parked patrol cars. Deputies gave chase, but were forced to stop upon reaching the sign for Calhoun County. In a statement from his compound in Beirut, Hezbollah leader Mahmoud al-Aziz praised the two fugitive terrorists. 'Allah straightens the curves, and in his might, hills are made flat. Sooner will the mountain catch the Farouk boys than the law.' Ahmad and Gamel Farouk. Ever since the escape, federal anti-terrorist agents have been working closely with Sheriff Colfax on a plan to lure the Farouks back to Tanner County. Though details of the plan have been kept a secret, it is widely believed to involve the planting of a fake treasure map that purports to lead to a stash of machine guns, plastic explosives and more than 40 million dinar buried behind Old Man Potter's place. Tanner County law officers are also preparing for any potential tricks the terrorists may play on them. In 1995, Deputy Pickett almost caught the two Islamic fundamentalists, but lost them when Fatma al-Qaawi, the pair's sexy cousin, clad in a skimpy outfit of cutoff jeans and a knotted, midriff-revealing blouse, asked him to help her fix her broken truck. She then distracted Pickett by bending over the radiator while the General Habib drove off behind him. 'Them Farouk boys won't be so lucky this time,' Pickett said. 'Maybe they can get away with this stuff over and over again with the Israelis, but we won't fall for it here in Tanner County.' Calhoun County Sheriff Duane Parsons could not be reached for comment, as he was cleaning hay and chickens out of his car after chasing the Shi'ites through an abandoned barn.

2	What The Obama Administration Did To The FOX News Host That Called Obama Racist We can always count on Judge Jeanine Pirro from Fox News Justice with Judge Jeanine to tell it like it is when it comes to President Barack Obama. In a recent segment, she called Obama out for failing to prepare America for imminent jihadist attacks. She also went on to claim that some of his reactions to incidents should get him impeached. Why is it that we only hear from him when a death involves a person of color? Pirro asked of her audience, claiming that Obama stokes the flames of racial resentment instead of healing our nation. She went on to remind Americans that many elected Obama with the idea that his presidency would bring with him the ability to put racism in the past. Still, his vocal participation in the cases of Eric Garner, Michael Brown, and Trayvon Martin has only created a further racial divide. Pirros sentiments echo those of WND columnist Larry Klayman, who made the statement that Obama has triggered a racial war. You do it all the time, said Pirro of executive action. Mr. President, if youre so concerned about racism, why dont you do something about it? Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
3	Are Vaccines Such Holy Cows That They Cant Be Condemned?By Catherine J. Frompovich Apparently, pro-vaxxers may believe that the moon is made of green cheese, too! Vaccines cause the very diseases they are supposed to immunize against. Hows that efficacious? It certainly is efficacious for vaccine makers financial interests [1], but certainly not for those who contract vaccine-induced polio or experience the adverse events associated with many vaccines, particularly the HPV anti-cervical cancer vaccines [2], which are now given to young boys, who dont have cervixes. Before you cry foul ball, I know why theyre mandated for young boys. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! The irony of vaccine issues is that when there are outbreaks of vaccine-associated-diseases, those outbreaks always are blamed on the non-vaccinated population. Really! Of those contracting communicable vaccine diseases, the greater percentage always is the partially- or fully-vaccinated. Statistics document those occurrences time and time again. Additionally, vaccine-targeted microorganisms MUTATE, as has happened with Pertussis [14] and Polio, and probably others, I dare say. However, federal and public health agencies, plus medical unions like the AMA, et al, seem to have their noses so far up Big Pharmas derrieres that they cant extricate themselves, especially the U.S. CDC and the FDA, who gets a great deal of its funding from Big Pharma because thats what Congress likes and enforces by whats known as the Prescription Drug User Fee Act of 1992, which charges Big Pharma hefty user fees. [3] How about all the fines FDA levies against Big Pharma resulting from hefty class action lawsuits? [12] And, lets not forget the other financially-rewarding aspects of vaccines for the feds: the tax on every vaccine, which goes into a Vaccine Excise Tax Trust Fund that the U.S. Treasury manages [4]! Should I also include the lobbyists perks given to influence federal agency regulations and congressional legislation [5]? That should be considered graft and prosecuted as a crime promoting vested interests, which are not in the best health interests of consumers and medical science. Another perfect example of the Corporatocracy thats overtaken our system of governance and federalism is all the corporate money, plus influence, at federal and state levels [6] to keep GMOs from being labeled in the USA!, when 64 countries require GMO labeling [11]. Is there a special game plan or agenda in the United States? Getting back to vaccines, more information about the harms caused by vaccines no longer can be denied, but have to be admitted and rectified. One specific example is the fact that polio in Europe, which had not had a case in five or so years, emerged from whats called circulating Vaccine Derived Polioviruses (cVDPVs) [7], something healthcare consumers probably dont know about and probably wont want to believe, since theyve been so brainwashed as to the false real values of vaccines. In September of 2015, The Washington Post reported an Outbreak of rare, mutated poliovirus that originated from vaccine in Ukraine leaves two children paralyzed [8]. Then theres this stunning article from March 25, 2016: Doctors Say Bill Gates Polio Vaccine Has Created Deadly Super Polio [9] What should be particularly alarming and upsetting and telling is that oral polio vaccines were discontinued in the West more than 15 years ago for the very reason that the WHO and other authorities KNEW it was causing vaccine-derived polio paralysis cases! [9] Heres a video report about the oral polio vaccine causing paralysis. And then, we should not forget the infamous Bill Gates TED speech wherein he made his unbelievable statement about vaccines while reciting his famous population reduction equation. Listen carefully to hear if there are any real clues about the reasons for vaccines and vaccinations, at least in Gatess mind. Lastly, lets not omit the acknowledged vaccine research fraud that goes on at the U.S. CDC as exposed by CDC epidemiologist whistleblower William Thompson, PhD, in his famous I dont believe we did that confession of omitting pertinent data regarding young black boys, autism, and vaccines. The just-released movie VAXXED [10] documents that stunning CDC-regulatory coup impacting autism research. In 2013, biologist Dr. Brian Hooker received a call from a Senior Scientist at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) who led the agencys 2004 study on the Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine and its link to autism. The scientist, Dr. William Thompson, confessed that the CDC had omitted crucial data in their final report that revealed a causal relationship between the MMR vaccine and autism. Over several months, Dr. Hooker records the phone calls made to him by Dr. Thompson who provides the confidential data destroyed by his colleagues at the CDC. The above is pure criminal actionblatant scientific fraudand yet no one at the CDC, FDAnor has the U.S. Congressdone anything to prosecute scientific crimes against humanity, especially children, and young black boys in particular. Dont all lives matter? The pro-vaccine Inquisition thats ongoing has to stop, as the pseudoscience about vaccines safety and efficacy is pure balderdash, since no studies have been done to date regarding the following: Isnt it about time that Big Pharmas Holy Cows are milked for the last time!

3	NGO Pushes for Centralized Power, Control Over Physician LicensureJames Holbrooks The letter was in response to the FSMBs continuing efforts to overcome issues facing the concept of telemedicine. As the name implies, telemedicine is the practice of providing medical care at a distance. This encompasses everything from a simple phone consultation to something as complex as remote surgery via robotics, often referred to as telesurgery. Specifically, the senators were addressing a piece of model legislation being drafted by the FSMB that would come to be known as the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact. Purportedly, the compact is designed to streamline the process of licensing physicians who seek to practice in multiple states. As it stands, this can be tricky. Each state has its own certifications a physician must hold to be legally allowed to practice there. So in theory, a doctor providing telemedical care across state linessay, a routine checkup via Skypecould potentially be violating state law if the requisite licenses werent in order. So far so good, yeah? Here we have a problem, specific to our modern age, being taken on through a concerted, common sense measure. I mean, youd have to be nuts to see the compact as anything other than the honest attempt at facilitation is so clearly is, right? Well, as it happens, there are still a few nuts out there. ULTERIOR MOTIVES On January 26 of this year the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons sent a letter to the United States Senate in direct response to the one sent by senators to the Federation of State Medical Boards a year earlier. By this time, the final draft of the FSMBs Interstate Medical Licensure Compact had been published and publicly endorsed by the American Medical Association. The AAPSs letter asserts that, far from being a tool through which doctors can more effectively serve their patients, the FSMBs licensing compact is in fact little more than a pretext for transferring state sovereignty to out-of-state private, wealthy organizations that are neither transparent nor accountable to the voters. In short, its a power grab. At this point you may be asking yourself a basic question: What the hell is the Federation of State Medical Boards? The answer is more interesting than you might think. The FSMB is a private, non-profit organization representing each of the fifty states medical boards, as well as those of the American territories. As stated on the groups own website, the FSMB is an innovative catalyst for effective policy and standards and strives toward promoting excellence in medical practice, licensure, and regulation as the national resource and voice on behalf of state medical boards in their protection of the public. So yeah, I find it highly interesting that medical policy for the individual states is influenced by a private organization that, as the folks at the AAPS claim, is neither transparent nor accountable to the public. Thats eyebrow-raising stuff. But as interesting as the what of the FSMB is, its nowhere near as interesting as the who. And the who is doctors, of course. Doctors of all stripes. Lawyers, too, but that goes without saying. In fact, the FSMB leadership roster is uncannily similar to that which youd find at just about any other of the innumerable healthcare non-profits scattered throughout the country. And this, according to the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, is a significant part of the problem. In their letter to the Senate, they point to the incestuous relationship the FSMB has with the self-credentialed patient safety or medical quality industry. What the AAPS is getting at may be best understood via the ordeal involving CareFusion. A FAMILY AFFAIR On January 9, 2014yeah, the same day the senators sent that glowing letter to the FSMBthe Department of Justice announced that CareFusion Corporation had agreed to shell out $40 million to the United States government. The payment was in response to allegations that the company had bribed, to the tune of $11.6 million, an influential member of the National Quality Forum into promoting a CareFusion product to health care providers. The NQF is another one of these non-profit, non-governmental organizations. That groups current CEO, Dr. Christine Casselwho, as it happens, is the former head of the American Board of Internal Medicine and sits on the Presidents Council of Advisors on Science and Technologycame under scrutiny herself last year when it was revealed that shed been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars by two medical companies that had a stake in National Quality Forum policy. Naturally, Cassel swore up and down that no conflict of interest existed at the NQF. This was backed up by Brent James, MD, former member of NQFs Strategic Framework Board. Dr. James asserted that there were never any allegations of inappropriate financial inducement regarding which quality measures were actually endorsed by the organization. James, by the way, in addition to serving as Chief Quality Officer for Intermountain Healthcare (an NGO), is also a member of the Institute of Medicine (an NGO). It isnt difficult to see the kind of incestuous relationship the AAPS is talking about. These various private organizations, influencing policies and practices in the various medical fields while maintaining deep connections to healthcare companies, seem to be headed by a shared network of industry bigwigs. As Dr. Michael Katz of Strong Memorial Hospital in New York put it on his personal blog: Which brings us back to the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact. Because if the AAPS is right and the compact is indeed an attempt to override state sovereignty and centralize power within a single, private, non-governmental organization, then how exactly would it work? In this instance, the control mechanism of choice would be the Maintenance of Certification program. THE WAY IN MOC is the process by which physicians stay up-to-date on their certification requirements. These requirements are set by specialty boards, each approved of by the American Board of Medical Specialtiesan NGO, in case you were wonderingand professed to increase a physicians knowledge of a particular field. The people of the AAPS, however, fundamentally disagree with this assertion. While irrelevant to good patient care, states the AAPS in their letter, Maintenance of Certification (MOC) activities promoted by ABMS and its member boardsare extremely lucrative to the executives who administer them. Practicing physicians uniformly find MOC to be of minimal or no value. There is near unanimity that MOCs only effect is to drain physicians time and money. And the AAPS isnt alone in this opinion. In the fall of 2013 the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons published an article titled Maintenance of Certification (MOC): the Elites Agenda for Medicine. The author, Dr. Kenneth Christman, used public sources to examine the practice of MOC as conducted by the specialty boards of the ABMS. Apart from identifying multilayered connections between MOC policy and organizations such as FSMB and NQF, Christman discovered that in 2011 alone ABMS boards took in $320 million in certification-attributed revenue. The elite medical establishment correctly foresaw, writes Christman, that there was a huge treasure in the medical certification business. And while the MOC program is technically voluntary, things such as insurance policies and hospital privileges often require doctors to participate in order to gain employment. You dont pay, you dont play, as it were. But the truth is, the FSMB isnt breaking any new ground with their power grab. One has only to take a casual look around to see the pattern. Look at Common Core, and how the federal government is trying to control education through uniform testing standards. Look at Net Neutrality, and how the FCC is trying to open the door to federal regulation of the Internet. Its hardly surprising. The trend for government is always toward greater hegemony. So far the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact has been introduced in twelve state legislatures, but as the FSMB declares on its website: Support is growing among legislators and health policymakers The organization cites the letter from the bipartisan group of senators as evidence of the strengthening endorsement, and unfortunately for those of us who find labyrinthine bureaucracy and centralized power to be a detriment to society, its hard to argue that logic.

3	Inherit The Wind . . . The Evil of Two LessersPA Farruggio Then you have the Democrats in this latest horserace who rant and rave about how the right wing wants to destroy the middle class. Yet, the Democrats never do squat for the middle class! They too vote to keep our military empire intact and all over the damn globe. They brought forth a health care law that only helps the private insurers stay in control and reap mega profits. Only a fool would think that Mr. Obama would insist on a public option to help create a Medicare for All scenario, after you look at his 2008 campaign donations. The health care industry gave over $7 million to McCain . . . and over $21 million to Obama. So, we have two evils controlling our nations political system. Well, not really controlling; shall we say they are navigating it for others? Who are these others? Well, all one needs to do is see who is benefiting despite the fact that over 90% of us are not. Follow the age-old adage and follow the money . As many small businesses either fold up or cut labor and services, see what companies and individuals are doing so well during these tough times. They are who the both political parties and the mainstream media are serving. Isnt it time to follow the creed of Your vote counts use it? And go into that booth November 8th and refuse to support any of them? The only inheritance they will leave to us is the wind . . . hot air wind at that!

1	Drawing on national polling data and extensive personal interviews, social scientists confirmed that the concept of the American Dream, the widely held aspiration among U.S. citizens of achieving financial security and personal happiness, now consists entirely of receiving a substantial out-of-court settlement. Whereas achieving the American Dream once meant rising to a stable position of prosperity through years of dedicated work and personal merit, the ideal has shifted in recent years to one of settling out of court for six or seven figures after months of protracted legal wrangling behind closed doors, said Columbia University sociologist Dr. Adam Corigliano, stating that the vast majority of lower- and middle-class Americans now hope to achieve upward social mobility by making a legal claim against an immensely wealthy corporation or individual and then receiving a large lump sum in exchange for dropping the case and allowing the party to avoid any public admission of wrongdoing. The idea that anyone in America, no matter who they are or where they came from, can make their way to the top is still very much alive, whether it involves filing a suit for harassment, negligence resulting in injury or death, or mistreatment at the hands of an employer or service provider. Aiming for a huge payoff so a high-profile celebrity or business can avoid a lengthy, publicly damaging trial is what unites us as Americans, regardless of our race, creed, or social standingits what this country is all about. Corigliano added, however, that statistics showed only a slim fraction of impoverished residents ever have the good fortune to become permanently disabled by a botched surgical procedure or lose an infant to a defective crib and thereby achieve their financial goals.

1	WINSTON-SALEM, NCAt its quarterly meeting Wednesday, the National Association of Tobacco Growers declared abortion 'the most critical issue of our time,' resolving to significantly increase public awareness and discussion of it. 'There are many controversial issues in America, but none more controversial than abortion,' NATG president Buddy Ott said. 'It is a highly volatile, complex issue and, as such, it deserves a tremendous amount of attention and scrutiny from the American public and media.' 
3	Richard Rothschild Battles Local Agenda 21Cassandra Anderson, Contributor Find out why Rothschild is opposed to Agenda 21 and ICLEI: Commissioner Rothschilds most profound observations since taking office have been that the federal and state governments use coercive grant money to expand their power beyond Constitutional limits and that all of the processes of government are geared toward spending money, which leads to budgets that spin out of control. Carroll County is a rural area that is under threat of urbanization, mixed-use buildings (compact apartment-like housing also called stack em and pack em units) and social engineering. However, he has been able to make some significant changes in Carroll Countys Municipal Master Plan, the foundation for development, that include steering his county away from mixed use development and abolishing certain socialist language like social equity. While Carroll County planning and zoning officials have been cooperative with Commissioner Rothschild, he has been restrained in fully protecting citizens rights because of federal laws, mostly handed down by the EPA, and state laws that attack property rights. The State of Maryland encroaches on local government jurisdiction through covert zoning and building regulations. An example of this is a new Maryland state regulation that prohibits building anything within 100 feet of a stream. So, if a landowner wants to build a a home or other structure on his or her land, the parcel better be big enough to accommodate the states new regulation or they are plain out of luck. Imagine the effect of down-zoning on property value! The good news is that people are waking up to the rotten UN Agenda 21 Sustainable Development plot. Alabama is the first state to officially ban Agenda 21! Governor Bentley reluctantly signed the resolution under extreme pressure from activists. Several other states are in the process of considering and/or passing resolutions against Agenda 21. Many local governments have rejected ICLEI and others have silently refused to renew the program contract (click here for the full list). Additionally, a number of Republican groups are actively fighting Agenda 21 (click here for list). Conclusion: Alabama proved that efforts by activists can make all the difference. Commissioner Rothschild recommends spending time to go through your Municipal Master Plan planning and zoning regulations to weed out the ones that are strangling citizens rights (especially landowners). Other activists have been successful and taken action by pressuring lawmakers to protect their rights and their property.

'When one is fortunate enough to the carry the name of America's most popular mayonnaise, one does not spend every night getting drunk and partying with models,' said his great uncle Oliver Hellmann, 79. 'Clearly, young Jake is not yet ready to accept the enormous responsibility that comes with being a mayo magnate.' 
2	BREAKING: Legendary Hollywood Actor Dies Suddenly... Fans Calling For Prayers According to reports, conservative talk show host and actor Jerry Doyle was found dead at his Las Vegas home on Wednesday afternoon. He was only 60 years old. Doyle was best known for his starring role on the sci-fi show Babylon 5. When the program ended in 1998, Doyle began his career as a political talk show host. The Jerry Doyle Show aired on weekdays from 3 pm to 6pm for years on the Talk Radio Network. But Doyles career didnt stop there. In 2000, he ran for Californias 24th Congressional district as a Libertarian, but he lost the race. He also created the website EpicTimes. He was funny, and dangerous, and loyal, and a prankster, and a pain in the ass, Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski told reporters. He was gentle and cynical and hardened and insightful and sometimes as dense as a picket fenceand his passing is a profound loss to everyone who knew him, especially those of us who fought beside him in the trenches of Babylon 5. Will you send your prayers to Doyles family? 
1	With the challenges accompanying his developmental disorder widening the already vast gulf between his parents, autistic child Evan Thomas, 3, continued this week to destroy the failing marriage he was brought into this world to save. The Thomas family in 2007. Evan, who through the very act of being born was entrusted with the task of resolving lingering conflicts, soothing deep-seated contempt, and restoring intimacy to Mark and Sharon Thomas' long-strained relationship, has thus far utterly failed in his assigned duties, sources reported Monday. 'It's so much work taking care of Evan, and Mark just refuses to help out as much as he should,' said Sharon Thomas, who endured a long, agonizing childbirth to put an end to the couple's constant bitter arguments. 'It's so frustrating. I don't get any time to myself because Evan needs attention like 24 hours a day.' 'I never asked for this,' Sharon added According to sources, Mark Thomas, 32, had always wanted a healthy, happy, completely normal son to provide a quick and easy fix to all of his marital problems. However, rather than allaying their trust issues and instantly making everything all better, Evan has reportedly driven a deeper rift between his parents by prompting fights about who is to blame for his condition. 'The doctors are constantly telling us that it's not anyone's fault, but if you'd ever met Sharon's brothers, you'd know that something's not quite right on that side of the family,' Mark said. 'We probably shouldn't yell in front of him as much as we do, but he doesn't really pay much attention and it honestly doesn't seem to bother him.' 'In fact, nothing seems to bother him,' Mark continued. Although Evan was only diagnosed with autism six months ago, Mark said it was clear right after bringing him home from the hospital that something was wrong with their son, since their lives did not take a dramatic 180-degree turn for the better, lingering disputes did not just melt away, and years of underlying tension were only brought into sharper focus. The child, who according to his parents rarely smiles or acts cheerful, has left many in the household concerned that he's not committed to mending the broken relationship. Moreover, during the past three years, Evan has reportedly done almost nothing to curb Mark's controlling nature or Sharon's cruel emotional abuse. Evan has also failed to utter the words 'mama' or 'dada,' thereby ruining any chance his parents might have had at forging an instantaneous, all-healing bond. 'Nobody told me I'd be so exhausted and cranky all the time,' said Mark, who had anticipated that a son would create the mutual respect that his marriage has always lacked as opposed to making him feel overwhelmed and trapped. 'Now, I just get nagged about never dealing with Evan after I bust my ass at work all day.' Mark and Sharon also complained that the highly structured schedule they're forced to keep to prevent Evan from 'acting up' has severely strained their social life, causing them to miss a recent Super Bowl party at a neighbor's house that all of their friends without special-needs children were at. In 2006, before giving birth to Evan, the awful couple attempted to salvage their relationship by purchasing an American pit bull terrier puppy. But the dog, who was reportedly a real pain to take care of, lacked the discipline to put in any work on their miserable marriage and always demanded too much affection. Family members told reporters they weren't surprised Evan has not yet managed to transform the couple's dysfunctional marriage into a healthy and loving one. 'Oh God, they should never have had a kid,' Evan's grandmother Janet Harmon said. 'She should have gotten her tubes tied like she threatened to do in the first place.' Mark and Sharon said they were currently trying to get pregnant again in hopes that a new baby would take off some of the pressure of raising Evan all alone. 
2	Trump Supporters Call For This After Starbucks CEO Make Sickening Statement About Hillary Supporters of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump are calling for a boycott of coffee-giant Starbucks after its CEO, Howard Schultz, endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. Hopefully Hillary Clinton will be elected president, Schultz said on Wednesday during an interview with CNNs Poppy Harlow. On the other side, weve seen such vitriolic display of bigotry and hate and divisiveness, and that is not the leadership we need for the future of the country. In a separate appearance on CBS This Morning, Schultz continued his rant, declared he is engaged as a private citizen recognizing that Hillary Clinton needs to be the next president of the United States. When Trump fans heard of the endorsement, they took to Twitter to express their rage. Earlier this year, for example, Schultz received pushback for starting the Race Together initiative. Starbucks employees were encouraged to write a slogan on coffee cups to push customers to have a conversation about race relations in America. The idea was dropped after a negative response from the public. I have been criticized because people say, Well his role is to create shareholder value and profits, not to use Starbucks as a political tool, Shultz told his employees earlier this year, claiming that he wants to effect change. I worry if we just continue on this track and dont speak up, he said. Im asking myself what can we do, given our scale to effect change, to elevate the discourse, and to demonstrate that this is not the way the country should be run.

2	Alabama REFUSES TO BACK DOWN, Takes THIS Huge Stand Against Obama Last week, President Obama announced that America will be continuing to accept refugees from Syria. That announcement comes at the same time that French authorities are investigating Islamic State terrorists posing as refugees as a potential cause for the attacks in Paris. Now, Republican Gov. Robert Bentley of Alabama is putting his foot down in order to protect his citizens. He just announced that his state will no longer be accepting refugees. After full consideration of this weekends attacks of terror on innocent citizens in Paris, I will oppose any attempt to relocate Syrian refugees to Alabama through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, Bentley claimed in a statement. As your governor, I will not stand complicit to a policy that places the citizens of Alabama in harms way. Bentley also asked for prayers for those who lost someone on the attack, as well as the victims themselves. I will not place Alabamians at even the slightest, possible risk of an attack on our people, he concluded. Please continue to join me in praying for those who have suffered loss and for those who will never allow freedom to fade at the hands of terrorists. Despite pushback from several states in addition to Alabama Obama claims that America needs to maintain its position as the largest provider of humanitarian assistance to displaced persons and refugees. What do you think? Do you agree with Alabama? 
3	40 Ways That China Is Beating AmericaMichael Snyder, Contributor In fact, China is already exercising economic superiority over the United States in a whole host of ways. China produces more goods than we do, China does more total trade in goods with the rest of the world than we do, China produces more cars than we do, China produces more gold than we do, China consumes more energy than we do, China produces more coal than we do and China produces more steel than we do. Every single year, we buy far more from them than they buy from us, and this has made them exceedingly wealthy. Our politicians regularly make trips over to China to beg them to lend us back some of the money that they have taken from us. Today, we owe China more than a trillion dollars and the Chinese are sitting on the biggest pile of foreign currency reserves that the world has ever seen. All of this wealth has fundamentally transformed the nation of China over the past couple of decades. Just check out the startling photographs of China from space in this article that show how China dramatically changed between 1992 and 2010. As China continues to become stronger and as America continues to become weaker, will our children some day wake up in a world where the Chinese are telling them what to do? China became the number one exporter of goods back in 2009, but now China has reached another milestone on the road to global economic dominance. Chinas emerging role as the dominant player in global trade is shaking things up all over the planet. The following is a brief excerpt from a recent Bloomberg article Chinas growing influence in global commerce threatens to disrupt regional trading blocs as it becomes the most important commercial partner for some countries. Germany may export twice as much to China by the end of the decade as it does to France, estimated Goldman Sachs Group Inc.s Jim ONeill. For so many countries around the world, China is becoming rapidly the most important bilateral trade partner, ONeill, chairman of Goldman Sachss asset management division and the economist who bound Brazil to Russia, India and China to form the BRIC investing strategy, said in a telephone interview. At this kind of pace by the end of the decade many European countries will be doing more individual trade with China than with bilateral partners in Europe. If current trends continue, what will the world look like in 10 years? Will the Chinese dominate the entire global economy? What would that mean for America? Sadly, Chinese dominance is already having very serious negative consequences in this country. The following are 40 ways that China is beating America #1 As I mentioned above, when you total up all imports and exports of goods, China is now the number one trading nation on the entire planet. #2 During 2012, we sold about 110 billion dollars worth of stuff to the Chinese, but they sold about 425 billion dollars worth of stuff to us. That was the largest trade deficit that one nation has had with another nation in the history of the world. #3 Overall, the U.S. has run a trade deficit with China over the past decade that comes to more than 2.3 trillion dollars. #4 China now has the largest new car market in the entire world. #5 China has more foreign currency reserves than anyone else on the planet. #6 China is the number one gold producer in the world. #7 China is also the number one gold importer in the world. #8 The uniforms for the U.S. Olympic team were made in China. #9 85 percent of all artificial Christmas trees are made in China. #10 The new World Trade Center tower is going to include glass that has been imported from China. #11 The new Martin Luther King memorial on the National Mall was made in China. #12 One of the reasons it is so hard to export stuff to China is because of their tariffs. 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. #13 The Chinese economy has grown 7 times faster than the U.S. economy has over the past decade. #14 The United States has lost a staggering 32 percent of its manufacturing jobs since the year 2000. #15 The United States has lost an average of 50,000 manufacturing jobs per month since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001. #16 Overall, the United States has lost a total of more than 56,000manufacturing facilities since 2001. #17 According to the Economic Policy Institute, America is losing half a million jobs to China every single year. #18 China now produces more than twice as many automobiles as the United States does. #19 Since the auto industry bailout, approximately 70 percent of all GM vehicles have been built outside the United States. #20 After being bailed out by U.S. taxpayers, General Motors is currently involved in 11 joint ventures with companies owned by the Chinese government. The price for entering into many of these joint ventures was a transfer of state of the art technology from General Motors to the communist Chinese. #21 Back in 1998, the United States had 25 percent of the worlds high-tech export market and China had just 10 percent. Ten years later, the United States had less than 15 percent and Chinas share had soared to 20 percent. #22 The United States has lost more than a quarter of all of its high-tech manufacturing jobs over the past ten years. #23 Chinas number one export to the U.S. is computer equipment, but the number one U.S. export to China is scrap and trash. #24 The U.S. trade deficit with China is now more than 30 times larger than it was back in 1990. #25 China now consumes more energy than the United States does. #26 China is now the leading manufacturer of goods in the entire world. #27 China uses more cement than the rest of the world combined. #28 China is now the number one producer of wind and solar power on the entire globe. #29 There are more pigs in China than in the next 43 pork producing nationscombined. #30 Today, China produces nearly twice as much beer as the United States does. #31 Right now, China is producing more than three times as much coal as the United States does. #32 China now produces 11 times as much steel as the United States does. #33 China produces more than 90 percent of the global supply of rare earth elements. #34 China is now the number one supplier of components that are critical to the operation of U.S. defense systems. #35 A recent investigation by the U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services found more than one million counterfeit Chinese parts in the Department of Defense supply chain. #36 15 years ago, China was 14th in the world in published scientific research articles. But now, China is expected to pass the United States and become number one very shortly. #37 China now awards more doctoral degrees in engineering each year than the United States does. #38 The average household debt load in the United States is 136% of average household income. In China, the average household debt load is 17% of average household income. #39 The Chinese have begun to buy up huge amounts of U.S. real estate. In fact, Chinese citizens purchased one out of every ten homes that were sold in the state of California in 2011. #40 The IMF is projecting that China will surpass the United States and become the largest economy on the planetin 2016. Are you starting to get the picture? And in the years ahead China is projected to become even more powerful economically. Nobel economist Robert W. Fogel of the University of Chicago is projecting that if current trends continue, the Chinese economy will be three times larger than the U.S. economy by the year 2040. Could you imagine a world where China has vastly more economic power than the U.S. does and dictates the direction of the global economy? That is where we are heading. The dragon is rising and the torch is being passed. So how do you think all of this will end?

1	Saying they were glad to accept consolation wherever they could find it, violence-weary Americans told reporters this week they were going to go ahead and take comfort in the fact that there hasnt recently been a news story about a person killing and eating another person. A broad spectrum of citizens from across the nation stated that with everything else going on in the world today, at least its been quite some time since theyve opened up a newspaper and read about a deranged psychopath murdering and cannibalizing one or more strangers, coworkers, or family members, noting that the current absence of such an event is something theyll readily take solace in. I have to say, it feels pretty good to have gone a while without seeing any TV news reports from a backyard crime scene where police are digging up half-eaten corpses, said New Ulm, MN resident Ethan Rhodus, who along with many other Americans confirmed he hasnt read a headline or watched a news magazine programs investigation about anything like that lately. Sure, theres a lot of bad stuff happening everywhere, but nothing that specifically centers on some guy who lures people into his home, kills them, expertly butchers their remains, and then eats them. So thats been nice. And I havent had to watch a press conference in which a homicide detective talks about how this is the worst thing hes ever seen either, Rhodus continued. When you look at things from that perspective, they dont seem quite so bad. In addition to finding some reassurance in the lack of reports on people being flayed, hung from meat hooks, and having chunks of their flesh boiled in a pot, Americans said they appreciated that no investigator has uncovered a basement walk-in freezer full of leftover human body parts, and that no ongoing news stories prominently feature the phrases grisly remains, dismemberment, or Craigslist horror. When you really think about it, its actually kind of a miracle there isnt a guy out there right now killing random people and turning them into quilts or something. Members of the traumatized public noted theyre also taking comfort in the fact that no one in recent memory has been found using the cannibalized bones of their murder victims to construct some sort of ghoulish shrine in their home, or to conduct bizarre sexual rituals of any kind. Obviously, its depressing to read about someone who gets into a petty argument with his roommates and winds up killing them, which is still pretty common, said Michelle Boland of Terre Haute, IN, one of many Americans who expressed gratitude that a killer known only as the Cincinnati Skinner is not presently stalking the Midwest. But its much, much worse to read about someone who chops up his roommates and then eats them. Weve had a good long stretch since something like thats happened. Seriously, whats it been? Boland added. Five, six months? Ill take that. Recognizing their current run of good luck wont last forever, many Americans told reporters they intend to make the best of it while they can. Even if the streak ends tomorrow, they said, they will always be thankful none of the national news stories from the past several weeks have involved two men with cannibal fetishes filming their graphic murder-suicide pact for YouTube. When you really think about it, its actually kind of a miracle there isnt a guy out there right now killing random people and turning them into quilts or something, Provo, UT store clerk Robert Zenner said. You have to give credit where credit is due. It really is a great thing that Im not turning on the news and saying, Holy shit, someones eaten their neighbor. Not at this particular moment in time, at least. At press time, weary Americans confronted with news of a San Diego man who cooked and served his own genitals to a group of friends insisted the story didnt count, since no one was actually killed. 
3	Snoopers Charter could allow monitoring of emails, phone and internet use in by many entities in UKMadison Ruppert This situation seems quite a bit like the proposed legislation in the United States known as CISPA where a massive number of entities have access to highly personal information. Similarly, as End the Lie recently reported, under the Next Generation Identification program many entities (including non-governmental ones) would have access to private biometric information. Even giving such wide ranging access to personal information to the taxman, as the Telegraph put it, under the Communication Data Act seems absurd. It seems a great deal like how the American IRS claims the authority to read emails and other electronic communications without a warrant. The proposed legislation ran into a lot of opposition last year with Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg saying a fundamental rethink was needed, but with the support of powerful individuals it has made a return. Under the Communications Data Act, all Internet service providers would be forced to keep all records of the online activities of their customers for 12 months. These records would include every single email, every posting on any social networking site or other forum and even all video or telephone calls made over the Internet. Even if that is the case, does it mean that all of the agencies reported by the Telegraph actually need all that access? The agencies that have applied to use the powers under the Communication Data Act include nine Whitehall departments, NHS trusts, the Environment Agency, the Charity Commission and the Pensions Regulator, according to the Telegraph. While some in the UK government continue to claim it is needed to fight terrorism and serious crime, the Home Office confirmed that it is considering all submissions from public bodies. This obviously begs the question, what kind of terrorism and serious crime is the Charity Commission and Environment Agency fighting? This scheme is Orwellian, said Dominic Raab, one of the 40 Conservative Members of Parliament standing against the legislation, according to the Telegraph. Intrusive surveillance powers should be limited to pursuing terrorists, pedophiles and villains not enabling jobsworth inspectors at the Health and Safety Executive or council busybodies to snoop into the private lives of ordinary citizens, Raab said. The Home Office said 36 groups had submitted a business case stating that they wanted to be able to use the Communications Data Bill powers last year after a Freedom of Information Act request from privacy advocacy group Big Brother Watch. However, as the Telegraph points out, the Home Office counted local authorities and NHS trusts once each, making it unclear how many individual councils or health trusts were involved. Fire authorities, the Food Standards Agency and the Gambling Commission also submitted cases. The bodies allowed to have access to the information under the proposed legislation would, according to the Telegraph, have to obtain a warrant to see the content of a message. A spokesman for the Health and Safety Executive said its officials used such powers rarely and only to help in its criminal investigations, according to the Telegraph. A spokesman for the Home Office said that ultimately Parliament would decide which bodies would have access to the records under the legislation. The Communications Data Act is slated to be included in the Queens Speech next month. Did I forget anything or miss any errors? Would you like to make me aware of a story or subject to cover?

3	Ramsey Orta, Activist Who Filmed Eric Garners Death, Needs Your HelpBy Derrick Broze The man who filmed the infamous video of Eric Garners death at the hands of the New York Police Department will soon become the only person who was present at Garners death to face prison time.Ramsey Ortais heading to prisonfor four years based on charges he says are a direct retaliation for filming Garners death. The man who filmed the police killing of Eric Garner, Ramsey Orta, is now heading to jail for four years on unrelated chargesmaking him the only person at the scene of Garners killing who will serve jail time, TIME reported last summer. Last week Orta took a plea deal on weapons and drug charges. He says he has been repeatedly arrested and harassed by cops since he filmed the fatal police chokehold nearly two years ago. Ramsey told TIME he was living on State Island at the time of the death and knew Eric Garner. After filming the death by chokehold and releasing it to the media, Ramsey began reporting harassment and intimidation from the police. According to TIME, Ortawas arrested three times since August 2014.Hesays he was the victim of an attempted poisoning while he was behind bars. The media and law enforcement have attempted to make an example out of Ramsey, attempting to paint him as a criminal for law infractions that took place in his past.Orta was found guilty ofattempted sale of a controlled substance in 2011 and criminal possession of stolen property in 2012.Ramseynow prepares to turn himself into prison in October and WeCopWatch, the activist group that recruited Ramsey, says he is going to need ongoing support. When we pulled Ramsey into WeCopwatch a year ago we began to see first hand the type of treatment Ramsey had been experiencing, reads a forthcoming statement from Kevin Moore, David Whitt and Jacob Crawford of WeCopwatch. Covert and overt surveillance, as well as coordinated online attacks which were carried out to discredit Ramsey, separate him from his support network, and put his life in danger, specifically once he was behind bars. WeCopWatch says Ramsey was targeted because of his courageandinsists he is not guilty. The group says Ramsey was set up on a weapons chargedespitenot being inpossession of a gun.He was arrested, his charges were stacked, and his charges were all folded into one case putting him in a situation where was he was facing decades of prison time, the group writes. WeCopWatch says they have also been the victims of infiltration attempts and surveillance. Despite his upcoming imprisonment, Ramsey Orta remains optimistic and defiant. Orta saysthat his story would have been forgotten had it not been for the support of activistsand family members. Im glad to see people coming around on these bad terms to learn and understand what we as Black and Brown people are fighting, Orta told selfnews Post. Never forget we are one, we are all Brothers and Sisters, and most of all we want peace. We want an end to Police Brutality, and the start of holding police accountable. We the people want to feel safe and not worry if our kid is next. All we want is justice. WeCopwatchhas launched a new Facebook page that will provide updates on Ramsey Ortas situation and information on how supporters can help him directly. The group will post Ortas mailing address once he is housed in prison. Until then you can donate to his PayPal Ortaramsey@gmail.com and get regular updates of how he is and what he needs at the Support Ramsey Orta Facebook page.

I dont believe it. Have they been warned away from helping him,? Are they also scared of retaliation by an out of control NYPD? What hero? What did u smoke, sheeple? YOU are the sheeple, dingleberry TROLL. hero.hes a thug who happen to be in the right place at the right time (probably for the first time in his life), and shot some video. BFD. Look at his rap sheet.hes a thug. Yes, I agree they are making an example of him and he will likely rot in jail. Thats the game. Thats the matrix. You dont like it.change the game. It aint easy because youll have to put your livelihood on the line, and likely be miserable the rest of your life. Eric Garners death was another divide and rule and gun control hoax, so get outta here! The government thinks it can stop people from speaking out by throwing us in prison and killing us. Ramsey Orta joins a long list of heroes like Chelsea Manning, Ed Snowden, Ross Ulbricht, Barrett Brown, Jeremy Hammond, Julian Assange, LaVoy Finicum, the Bundy Family, etc. The elites are going to end up accomplishing the exact opposite of what they plan. More are awakening every day, the economy is heading toward collapse and the police state is helping average people to see what is really going on. Hes a fool to turn himself in. He should run and never stop. If he allows them to incarcerate him he will be committing suicide. A torturous suicide at that. precisely. And anyone who cops a plea when he KNOWS he is innocent (assuming you plan to remain living in said area) is a fool to the nth degree. I disagree with that. IF WE HAD real juries of peers that understood jury nullification principle AND also had judges with human souls then I would agree with your statement about plea-outs and those who take them knowing full well their innocence would be a fool to the nth degree. But there is no law in America, there is no justice. You lose the rest of your life or you lose a year or two, your guilt doesnt matter in this. This is why the plea bargain is enticing for those who are riding on zero anyways. 
3	Take Back Your PowerElectric Power, That IsBy Catherine J. Frompovich Brian Thiesen The most important reasons for taking the time to view the above videos is that citizens really dont know how vulnerable their homes are to fires from the new Smart Meters utilities are retrofitting on to electric, gas and water meters. Take notes while watching the videos so that you can discuss the problems with your state legislators. After viewing both videos, readers probably will want to send them on to their utility companies demanding opt-outs from Smart Meters, or the removal of Smart Meters, or legislation to ban them from being installed on to homes and buildings, since Smart Meters truly are fire hazards without smoke alarms to warn us when our homes will catch on fire. Mandating a fire hazard to be attached to your home should be illegal! Why do we have to have smoke alarms inside our houses then?

1	Shedding new light on one of the most influential leaders in American history, Yale University historians released a report Thursday that suggests White House officials deliberately hid President Franklin Roosevelts mechanical spider legs from the public. The report, which draws upon a recently discovered trove of photographs, state documents, and personal journals, describes a coordinated effort by top aides to conceal the fact that the 32nd president relied on a set of eight hydraulically powered cast-iron legs to skitter about during the last two decades of his life. Roosevelts advisers feared voters of the time would never elect a man whose lower extremities had been replaced with an intricate system of spider-like appendages, said report co-author Stephen Elmore, who noted that during FDRs first campaign for governor of New York, his staff began to disguise the 4-foot-long triple-jointed prostheses that he had custom-designed to regain mobility after becoming paralyzed in 1921. After he secured the White House, they continued to worry about the potentially devastating fallout should his eight lanky, motorized legs be discovered by political opponents or foreign governments. Records show that even some members of his Cabinet were unaware Roosevelt was a robotic arachnid below the waist, Elmore added. According to historians, the presidents entourage blocked views of his wide base of spindly metal legs by closely flanking him on all sides until he was safely behind a desk, a table, or one of his specially crafted 6-foot-wide podiums. If he needed to be seen seated, they reportedly covered his legs with blankets or pillows, as was the case at the 1945 Yalta Conference, when assistants draped 11 wool shawls over his lap before he posed with Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin. The president is said to have cherished getaways to his personal estate in Hyde Park, where he was free to scutter around the grounds without fear of being spotted. Various written accounts reveal that when driving him to public events, Roosevelts chauffeurs always parked his Lincoln convertible in hidden garages so no one could glimpse him exiting the vehicle, a noisy process that required him to extend his long, clanking alloyed limbs out the limousines door one at a time until he could crawl out onto the pavement. While most reporters kept the presidents condition off the record, Secret Service documents show that agents often confiscated the film of noncompliant photographers. Historians discovered one set of images in which Roosevelt, his hands occupied with the adjustment of his bow tie, can be seen standing on his two hindmost legs and using each of his remaining legs to sign six different executive orders simultaneously. There are several clues that, in retrospect, support the idea that FDR made use of a mechanical contraption consisting of four pairs of symmetrical limbs that emerged from beneath his torso, said Elmore, noting that the occasional faint hissing of the presidents leg pistons is audible in several of his fireside chats. In the recording of 1943s On The Coal Crisis one can even hear, beneath his familiar patrician tones, what is most likely the sound of Roosevelt lubricating a squeaky ball bearing in his knee joint as he argues that it is the United Mine Workers patriotic duty to end their strike. We also believe the mysterious rhythmic banging heard during his Infamy speech is the sound of at least three of his heavy iron feet tapping nervously on the floor, he added. Unearthed blueprints indicate many renovations were made to the White House during FDRs administration, including widened doorways and a titanium-reinforced bed frame to support the extra 400 pounds of his specialized extremities. In addition, financial records confirm Roosevelt retained a full-time staff of machinists and metalworkers to handle repairs and keep him moving around during his more than 12 years in office. Because the concealment of his condition took an enormous emotional toll, the president is said to have cherished getaways to his personal estate in Hyde Park, where he was free to scutter around the grounds without fear of being spotted. It was there, records suggest, that he sought refuge during the most trying days of the Great Depression, clambering up the wall to a ceiling corner of his study to devise his outlines for projects such as the Civilian Conservation Corps and Tennessee Valley Authority. Its important to remember that in those days, the need to rely on eight mechanical spider legs was perceived as a weakness, said Elmore, citing a lack of education about the issue and the fact that most Americans simply chose not to talk about it. For him, it was a matter of political survival. Of course, in todays media environment, it would be nearly impossible for a president to disguise a set of large molded metal appendages. Fortunately, our views are more progressive now, he continued. For example, in the current presidential race, no one considers Sen. Ted Cruzs razor-sharp tungsten fire-ant mandibles to be a disadvantage. 
2	Al Sharpton Freaks Out When A Reporter Asks Him If He Should Be Banned For Racism Last month, when a journalist asked Al Sharpton about his history with anti-Semitic comments, they received a surprising response. In the spirit of Donald Sterling, the interviewer asked Sharpton, do you think you should be banned from TB for all the racist stuff youve said over the years? What racist stuff? Sharpton jarred back. When you referred to Jews as white interlopers, the interviewer told Sharpton, matter-of-factly. This example was only one of many. Sharpton has also called Jews diamond merchants and was heard saying if the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house. What do you think? Should Sharpton be held accountable for his comments?

2	BREAKING: Obama To Be Deported After Justice Department Lawyer Does THIS According to recent reports, Former Justice Department lawyer Larry Klayman has just filed a suit calling for Obamas deportation based on a series of incriminating documents and videos. Klayman has famously sued Cuba and the NSA. Now, his petition contains evidence supporting a falsified birth certificate and other documents needed for obtaining a U.S. Passport. In his 20-page-document he pleads to be taken seriously, and not as an extremist. Klayman then goes on to claim that the Presidents birth certificate is a forgery, and that deportation is not out of the question. He asks for the president to reveal his true identity, and points out that at this stage, we dont even know if Obamas name is truly what he claims or how he is connected to Barry Soetoro. What do you think would happen if President Obama was proven to not be a U.S. Citizen? He would not be eligible for his position in White House, but could he be removed from the country entirely? 
1	Brent Barlow, 27, a software analyst and beta-tester at Apple Computer headquarters in Cupertino, was fired Monday for 'thinking a little too different.' A 1998 photo of Apple software analyst Brent Barlow, who was recently fired for 'thinking too far outside the box.' Apple spokespersons said the firing was necessary because Barlow 'consistently failed to adhere to the normal standards of conduct and daily routines expected of employees of Apple Computer.' Among the floutings of convention cited in Barlow's Apple employee file: developing a pulley system to store his mountain bike above his workstation, listening to Bob Dylan on his headphones while testing software, and taking barefoot walks around the Apple campus to 'feel more connected to the creative energy of others.' 'It's okay to think outside the box,' said Avie Tevanian, Apple senior vice-president of software engineering. 'In fact, we very much encourage that sort of thing here at Apple. But in Mr. Barlow's case, he went just a bit too far.' Barlow was first written up in September 1996, when he was cited for 'unprofessional and inappropriate personal modifications to his workspace.' In addition to taped-up pictures of Mahatma Gandhi, Albert Einstein and R. Buckminster Fuller, Barlow painted a large red question mark on the side of his monitor, scanned and displayed a non-approved desktop screen image of Jim Henson, and replaced his computer's trademarked Apple system beep with a snippet of the John Lennon song 'Imagine.' 'I like to explore problems from unusual angles,' said the ponytailed Barlow, cleaning out the desk he has occupied since joining Apple in 1995. 'And being in a free-form environment of my own creation really helps me get in the right frame of mind.' Barlow's most recent formal write-up came last Thursday, when his team supervisor caught him doing a headstand. 'I was stuck on this bug I discovered in the new Mac OS X system software that Apple's developing. No matter what I tried, nothing worked,' Barlow said. 'So I thought to myself, what I need to do is turn my whole approach to this problem upside-down. And what better way to do that than by standing on your head?' In an effort to prevent such incidents of 'excessive iconoclasm' in the future, Apple has developed a manual outlining the company's rules and regulations regarding individualism. Permitted will be such unorthodox activities as removing shoes when seated or within four feet of a desk; whistling when given prior written permission from a direct supervisor; and kicking puddles, provided the kicking is conducted during one's lunch hour and the puddle is one of the 35 on the Apple campus specifically designated for such a purpose. Prohibited will be such 'gratuitously idiosyncratic' behaviors as singing out loud, flying kites and catching butterflies. 'Of course, we want our employees to be individuals and 'do their own thing,' so to speak,' Apple director of corporate communications Michael Landau said. 'But Mr. Barlow's behavior consistently crossed the line. If he wants to think that different, he can do it on his own time.' 
2	Judge Jeanie Release Strong AntiJudge Jeanine Pirro is no stranger to controversy. Shes been known to speak out against Obama and other liberal leaders. A recent video posted on Facebook is no exception to that rule. In the video, which has since gone viral, Jeanine blatantly attacks President Obama for his policies on gun control, particularly as it pertains to recent acts of terror. At a time when we face the biggest threat we have ever confronted, our commander in-chief is on an anti-Second Amendment crusade to take away our guns, she commented. Pirro is not the first to express her outrage at President Obamas response to incidents like the San Bernardino shooting. Rather than empower the American people, hes shamed them and threatened to strip them of their rights. What do you think? Do you agree with Pirro?

He was a champion steer roper and an extremely kind hearted man. He was unbelievably proud of his daughter and was constantly by her side during her tours. He taught Reba the country ways and instilled in her the great qualities that we have come to love about Reba. Reba and her father were the epitome of the perfect father daughter relationship that we all strive for. Unfortunately Rebas father passed away and it was officially her time to let go. In an interview Reba chokes back tears as she opens up about her late father. He was a simple man and his entire life was about horses, the rodeo, his family, and business. He once said, If I ever get home, Im not gonna go past the mail box. Even when he was ill he had a sense of humor. God Bless that great man. Reba opened up about her song Just Like Them Horses. Her father was the reason Reba wrote this song and she sung it at his funeral. The song also made it onto her newest album and I absolutely love it. It is touching in every way possible and you can tell how much she loved her Daddy. The lyrics are so meaningful and loving that I could not help but ball when listening to the song. Now its time to run. Just like them horses. Now its time to run. Will this song win an award? 
2	Bill And Gloria Gaither Show Us Why We Prayed For Joey, What They Just Did For The FeeksWOW Bill and Gloria Gaither are two gospel music legends that have been a fan of Joeys since her first album. The Gaithers live in Alexandria, Indiana. That is actually Rorys hometown. The two gospel legends will be hosting a public memorial service for the late Joey Feek. The memorial service will be held in Alexandria on Sunday, March 13th. The service will most likely be packed with Joey supporters. Joey and Rorys Hymns album was actually released through the Gaither label. This shows that the two families have been together for a long time. The Gaithers were with Rory and Joey during some of the familys final moments together. The album was recorded when Joey stopped her treatments and returned home. The album turned into a massive hit and it became more than just an album to the Feeks. The service will be held at the Alexandria-Monroe High School gymnasium at 2:30. Rev. Jerry Young and Mike Owens will be leading the service for the public. The service is expected to be beautiful and honor Joey in an amazing way. Joey will be buried in a private family service at their Tennessee home. Will you be attending the service? 
3	Syria reportedly captures foreign military officers, UN chief wont condemn kidnapping of IraniansMadison Ruppert, Contributor This just highlights how laughable the United Nations is as an organization. When it suits them, they are suddenly champions of humanitarianism and human rights, just as the United States is. Then, suddenly, when the position no longer benefits them, they quickly ignore the murder of innocent civilians at the hands of Syrian rebels. Indeed, unconfirmed reports have stated that three of the 48 Iranian pilgrims kidnapped by rebels have been killed, something which the UN doesnt seem to care about all that much. Keep in mind, these are the same rebels who recently carried out what is almost certainly a war crime by slaughtering detained Syrian policemen, to just name one incident. The reports of the capture of several military officers from Saudi Arabia and Turkey have been relatively few and far between including SINA, Voice of Russia, and Press TV. Unsurprisingly, the Western mainstream media hasnt been quick to jump on the story. For instance, on June 21, 2012, the New York Times reported that the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was directly aiding in getting arms into the hands of the terrorists in the Syrian opposition. Then on June 22, 2012, the British Guardian reported that Saudi Arabia actually plans to fund and arm the Syrian rebels through a command center in Turkey. On August 2, 2012, Reuters reported that Syria accused Turkey of taking a fundamental role in supporting terrorism by allowing insurgents to carry out attacks in Syria, further widening the gap between the two former allies. Most noteworthy, however, came on July 27, 2012 when none other than Reuters reported that Turkey actually set up a secret base in concert with Saudi Arabia and Qatar in order to aid the opposition forces. This is quite important because the unnamed Doha-based source quoted by Reuters said, Its the Turks who are militarily controlling it. Turkey is the main co-ordinator/facilitator. Think of a triangle, with Turkey at the top and Saudi Arabia and Qatar at the bottom. The Americans are very hands-off on this. U.S. intel(ligence) are working through middlemen. Middlemen are controlling access to weapons and routes, the anonymous source added. The alleged activities of these nations are hardly surprising given the fact that there have long been reports of cross-border operations being run into Syria, Syria allegedly downed a Turkish jet and Qatar was running the rebel operations in Libya. Of course, the U.S. played the same hands-off role in Libya, which involved bombing the country into smithereens. Meanwhile, the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon refused to outright condemn the kidnapping of Iranian pilgrims, with his spokesman Martin Nesirky saying, I dont have anything at the moment. When Irans Press TV asked Nesirky if Ban might be taking some action in terms of intervening before more hostages are slaughtered, he said, I think its obvious that there are a number of players involved in this already and I dont think I want to go to any more details at this point. The Iranians are clearly taking it much more seriously than the United Nations, with Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir Abdollahian making some quite heated statements. We hold the Turkish government responsible for giving shelter to these armed groups and also if a criminal act is carried out by these groups, such as kidnapping Iranian citizens, Abdollahian said, according to Press TV. We also hold the Qatari government accountable. It is worth mentioning that the US is openly supporting the armed groups with ammunition, he added. It will be quite interesting to see if the United Nations continues to delegitimize itself as an institution by silently watching as the rebels continue to carry out terrorist acts and potential war crimes or if they will step up and protect human life regardless of the politics behind it.

Now, its been revealed that just weeks before her death, the 81-year-old told one reporter that there were three people she was banning from her funeral. Were not surprised that one of the people she named just happened to reside in the White House. According to The Blaze, Joan called out Adele, Chelsea Handler, and Michelle Obama, telling the world that these three people were not invited to the event.

3	Big Biotech Seeks to Rule EUHeather Callaghan DuPont and Dow Chemical are poised to crash the EU with their co-created genetically modified 1507 Pioneer corn as well. A corporatocracy didnt just occur out the blue, however. Its potentially being handed to biotech by the European Environmental Ministers with a law that sounds like a national ban (but actually isnt.) Get this:according to Stop the Crop, the newproposal gives biotech companies the power to decide whether a national ban is permitted or not. Gee, which way will biotech decide? Discussion for the proposal takes place tomorrow, May 28th. For more information, Stop the Crop is referring people to Friends of the Earth Europes short document entitled: A poisoned chalice. Why the Greek Opt-out proposal for GM crops will do more harm than good. Sustainable Pulse explains A poisoned chalice this way: The new law is being promoted as a way to give governments more sovereignty over decisions on whether to ban GM crops. However, the current proposals give biotech companies the legal right to decide whether a ban should be allowed. If companies refuse, governments are forced to fall back on vague, non-scientific legal grounds upon which to ban GM crops, opening the door to legal challenges Adrian Bebb of FOE Europesaid: It is an affront to democracy that companies like Monsanto will be given legal status in any decision to ban their products. Governments must be able to ban unwanted and risky GM crops without needing thepermission of the companies who profit from them. For more than 15 years national governments have fought against new GM crops and strongly defended their rights to ban them. This proposal is a poisoned chalice that fails to give member states the solid legal grounds to ban genetically modified crops. The United States parallels the EU in a similar regard. Just on the heels of Vermont passing the first state GMO food labeling law, the DARK Act of 2014 (actual name is Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act) threatens to nullify any past and future state laws regarding GMO labeling and bans.

The multibuilding campus of the intelligence-gathering agency reportedly disappeared without warning, taking with it all occupants and leaving in its place 258 acres of peaceful woodland. 'I don't know what you're referring to,' National Intelligence Director Dennis C. Blair said. 'I've never heard of this headquarters or the agency it supposedly housed. There's no story here.' An anonymous source claimed to have more information on the incident, but a reporter dispatched to meet him in a Langley, VA parking garage found the facility empty, and left having only heard a few dull thuds and the squealing of tires.

3	Will Flu Vaccines Be Required For All U.S. Health Employees by 2020?Alan Phillips, J.D. 1. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Resources Healthy People 2020 initiative has aggressive vaccine goals that include not only vaccinating 90% of healthcare workers by 2020, but also vaccinating all U.S. employees with the flu vaccine. Wake up, folks! Healthcare workers are just the front lineswere all in big pharmas sights, and theres no light at the end of this tunnel. In 2010, there were over 330 vaccines already on the market or in development. There will always be another vaccine to give a person, and always another person to give a vaccine. Meanwhile, states around the country are rapidly changing laws restricting access to exemptions, while adding laws to require more and more vaccines for more and more people, both children and adults. Join theNVIC Advocacy Portal to stay abreast of proposed laws and legislative activities in your state and around the country. 2. According to a hospital attorney, CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) will be deducting 2% of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements to hospitals whose employee flu vaccination rates is less than 90%. This means that the scientific merits (or lack thereof) of the flu vaccine policy are irrelevant to hospital policy makers. By making this a financial issue for hospital administrators, those orchestrating the flu vaccine agenda have managed to keep the medical science off the table, a necessity for pushing flu vaccines given the credible information revealing that flu vaccines dont work can and do cause permanent disability and death, as confirmed byCochrane Collaboration reviews and the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Programrespectively. 4. A high percentage of my clients reported that their hospital had been bought out recently. This was reported from healthcare workers all over the country, so cannot be a mere coincidence. There appears to be an orchestrated plan to consolidate control over and throughout the healthcare industry, but toward what specific ends Im uncertain at this time. Anyone with insight into this phenomenon is welcome to contact me (contact information available at www.vaccinerights.com). 5. Disturbingly, there is virtual unanimity among hospital workers about the suppressive nature of their work environment. Many of my clients reported that many of their peers also didnt want the flu vaccine, but they were afraid to request an exemption for fear of being singled out and fired just for asking. Many of those who came to me for help expressed fear of being fired for doing so, but their opposition to the flu vaccines outweighed that concern. Ironically, there is apparently little room in the hospital work world for employees to have and express their professional opinions about healthcare issues. This makes for unhappy employees, and that surely compromises the quality of care given to patients. When healthcare professionals are dictated healthcare policy rather than consulted for their professional opinions about it, there is something seriously wrong with the healthcare industry. 6. Most hospitals are requiring flu vaccines for their employees as a matter of hospital policy, and not state law (and state exemption laws generally apply to students, and not to employees). But there are growing efforts to enact laws requiring hospitals to mandate flu vaccines around the country. We are all already targeted for vaccination. We must all get involved and state our opposition to vaccine mandates. Im here to assist with individual rights and vaccine legislation anywhere in the U.S. To the best of my knowledge, Oregon is the only state with a law prohibiting hospitals from mandating flu vaccines. Oregon hospitals have, not surprisingly, lower healthcare worker immunization rates than other states. This may be the only objective measure of healthcare workers professional opinion about healthcare worker flu vaccines. This article first appeared at GreenMedInfo.

2	Obama Shocks The Country With Disturbing Announcement... Trumps Supporters Scared Sh*tless A new article published by WebDaily reveals just how low liberals are willing to go to stop Donald Trump from taking his rightful place as President of the United States. Now, they are pleading with President Barack Obama to take action on their behalf, demanding that he openly accuse Russia of meddling in the election to help Trump. According to reports, senior party figures sent a letter to Obama demanding that he publish classified information which they believe proves Kremlin interfered in our election to boost Trumps chances of winning. In October, intelligence committees issued a report suggesting that Russian figures could be behind a hack into thousands of emails from Hillary Clintons inner circle. The same group concluded their motive was to undermine Americas democratic process rather than intentionally help either of the candidates secure the presidency. Such activity is not new to Moscowthe Russians have used similar tactics and techniques across Europe and Eurasia, for example, to influence public opinion there, the report read, before adding, We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russias senior-most officials could have authorized these activities. Now, sources are telling the mainstream media the hack was intended to place Trump in the White House. The letter to Obama claims there is additional information concerning the Russian Government and the U.S. election and urges the President to make the information public. Of course, Vladimir Putin has made it abundantly clear that his administration had nothing to do with the attack. What do you think? Is this just a blatant attempt by liberals to link Trump to the bad guys. 
3	California Mayor Detained by Homeland Security, Forced to Hand over Electronics and PasswordsBy Joshua Krause But upon returning to the United States, he was inexplicably detained by Homeland Security at the San Francisco International Airport. They forced him to hand over all of his electronic devices, and told him that he was not allowed to leave the airport without providing his passwords. Unfortunately, they were not willing or able to produce a search warrant or any court documents suggesting they had a legal right to take my property, Silva told SF Gate. The Homeland Security officials informed him that he didnt have a right to an attorney, and that his American citizenship did not entitle me to rights that I probably thought. You know your country is descending into a totalitarian hell hole, when even the political class is being targeted by our police state. We often think of our politicians as being untouchable, but clearly there are forces in the dark corners of our government, that even they have to answer to. During the ordeal, Silva was astonished by how he was treated. I briefly had to remind myself that this was not North Korea or Nazi Germany. This is the land of the Free. Not anymore it isnt.

1	While his new book details tense relationships within his administration and admits mistakes were made in the execution of the Iraq War, former president George W. Bush totally blanked on the 9/11 terrorist attacks while writing his memoir Decision Points. 'He ends one chapter on what seems like a telling note, saying he felt nothing significant had happened in his first six months in office, but then the next chapter begins, 'It was almost Thanksgiving, and my approval rating was sky-high,'' reviewer Glen Harwell wrote Thursday, noting that Bush's account of the 2001 presidential turkey-pardoning dominates the next 3,000 words of the book. 'It appears he just plain forgot to mention what many would call the defining moment of his presidency.' Bush has already received criticism for claiming in the memoir that the worst moment of his years in the White House came when entertainer Kanye West sharply criticized him 'over issues I cannot even recall at this time.' 
3	Why Is Wal-Mart Preparing For A Major Earthquake On The New Madrid Fault?Michael Snyder And officials at the U.S. Geological Survey have just released a report which indicates that they believe that the New Madrid fault zone has the potential for larger and more powerful quakes than previously thought. So should we be concerned? Do they know something that we dont? The USGS also says that the frequency of earthquakes in the central and eastern portions of the United States has quintupled over the past 30 years, and that significant earthquakes have started popping up in areas of the country that were once extremely quiet. Along with the new report, the USGS released the following map Most Americans dont realize this, but the most powerful earthquakes in U.S. history did not happen in California. Rather, they actually occurred along the New Madrid Fault zone in 1811 and 1812. Documents from that time indicate that those earthquakes were so powerful that they were felt more than 1,000 miles away. That is why it is so alarming that Wal-Mart is actively preparing for a major earthquake along the New Madrid Fault. The following is fromthe Wall Street Journal article that I mentioned above And that Wal-Mart executive is absolutely correct earthquake activity in the central part of the country is increasing. In fact, as I mentioned above,it has quintupled over the past 30 years The USGS has also specifically identified the New Madrid fault zone as an area to watch Hopefully it wont happen any time soon, but a massive earthquake along the New Madrid fault has the potential to be extraordinarily destructive. One New Madrid earthquake in 1812 was so powerful that itrang church bells up in Boston and toppled chimneys up in Canada At that time, the New Madrid region was sparsely populated. But today, tens of millions of people live there, and most buildings have not been built to withstand massive earthquakes. According to ABC News, a study by the Mid-America Earthquake Center discovered that even a magnitude 7.7 earthquake would cause incredible amounts of damage. The study concluded that nearly 750,000 buildings would be damaged, 3,000 bridges would potentially collapse, 400,000 breaks and leaks to local pipelines and $300 billion in direct damage and $600 billion in indirect losses would occur. So what would a magnitude 8 or a magnitude 9 earthquake look like? And most people dont realize that there are 15 nuclear reactors along the New Madrid fault zone. In the event of a major earthquake, we could have multiple Fukushimas all going on at the same time. Let us hope that it is a very long time before a disaster such as this strikes. But as I mentioned above, earthquake activity in the central part of the country has increased dramatically in recent years. And Wal-Mart is so concerned that it actually participated in an exercise to prepare for an earthquake on the New Madrid fault line just a few weeks ago. So let us hope for the best, but let us also not be blind to the warnings signs all around us. This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

This week at a fundraiser in Massachusetts, the president told donors that our future rests on the children of illegal immigrants. About 30 to 40 percent of the kids in this school, by the way, are DREAM kids, Obama claimed, You wouldnt know it looking at them, because they are as American as apple pie. But every single one of these kids, you might not be able to tell the difference, but a whole bunch of themtheyre worried about whether or not theyre going to be able to finance their college education because of their immigrant status. Theyre worried about whether, in fact, this country that they love so deeply loves them back and understands that our future rests on their success. Why wouldnt we want to give them that certainty that you are part of the fabric of this nation, were counting on you, and were going to make you succeed? Why wouldnt we want to do that? What do you think of Obamas comments? Are illegal immigrants the solution to all (or any) of our problems? 
2	Obama Goes After Actress Kristie Alley After She Rips Him Apart For His Reaction To Floods In Louisiana President Barack Obama outraged the nation this week when he decided to continue his vacation in Marthas Vineyard instead of visiting the flood victims in Louisiana. This is in stark contrast to his past criticisms of President George W. Bush, when Obama pointed the finger at him for his lack of urgency during Hurricane Katrina.

2	Final Deportation Plan Launched... Immigrants Trembling, Its Happening Donald Trump has made it clear that one of his first promises as president is to deport illegal immigrants and focus on making our borders more secure. Now, its clear that he is wasting no time to put that plan into action. According to reports from USA Today, Trump has put forward a plan to deputize local police officers from around the country to enforce existing immigration laws. A list of proposals from Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach also addressed Trumps pledge to cut off the program that accepts Syrian refugees and enhanced screening of people from hostile countries with ties to terrorism. The 287(g) program on the list allows the U.S. Immigration and Customs enforcement agency to train local police officers to locate and catch undocumented immigrants living illegally in their communities. The program was first introduced by Congress in 1996 and was used by President George W. Bush. Fourteen years after its implementation, local officers in 24 states were trained and empowered by ICE to respond to crime scenes, make traffic stops and check local jails to check immigration status. The program was essentially phased out by President Obama. What do you think? Does this country need a leader like Donald Trump, who isnt afraid to take action? 
3	Ali Is Dead, Fear is Alive Free Speech Is Being Dealt a Knock-Out PunchBy John W. Whitehead As a nation, we have a tendency to sentimentalize cultural icons in death in a way that renders them non-threatening, antiseptic and easily digested by a society with an acute intolerance for anything controversial, politically incorrect or marred by imperfection. This revisionist historya silent censorship of sortshas proven to be a far more effective means of neutralizing radicals such as Martin Luther King Jr. than anything the NSA, CIA or FBI could dream up. In life, King called for Americans to rise up against a government that was not only treating blacks unfairly but was also killing innocent civilians, impoverishing millions, and prioritizing the profits of war over human rights and dignity. This was a man who went to jail over racial segregation laws, encouraged young children to face down police dogs and water hoses, and who urged people to turn their anger loose on the government through civil disobedience. King actually insisted that people have a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. In death, however, King has been reduced to a face on a national monument and a national holiday, neither of which even hint at the true nature of the man: fiery, passionate, single-minded in his pursuit of justice, unwilling to remain silent in the face of wrongdoing, and unafraid of offending those who might disagree with him. A contemporary of Kings, heavy-weight championship boxer Muhammad Ali followed a different path as a social activist and breaker of boundaries. Like King, Ali didnt pull any punches when it came to saying what he believed and acting on it. Yet already, in the wake of Alis passing, were being treated to a sentimentalized version of the heavy-weight boxer. In life, Ali was fast-talking, fast-moving and as politically incorrect as they come. He became an early convert to the Nation of Islam, a black separatist religious movement whose membership at one time included Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan. He denounced his slave name (Cassius Marcellus Clay) and refused to be the white mans Negro. As First Amendment scholar David L. Hudson Jr. notes, Alis remarkable career and life placed him at the vortex of these First Amendment freedoms Ali freely exercised his religious faith. He regularly spoke provocatively on a variety of topics. The press was abuzz with coverage and criticism. Thousands assembled in support of him, and the champion himself took part in rallies, parades and marches. Some petitioned the government to redress the injustice of his conviction for refusing military service, which resulted in his being exiled from the boxing ring for his beliefs. It took a legal battle all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court for Alis religious objections to serving in the Army to be given credence and his First Amendment arguments to prevail. The case was Clay v. United States. That was in 1971. Forty-five years later, Ali is dead, fear is alive, and free speech is being dealt one knock-out punch after another. Indeed, talk-show celebrity Piers Morgan has been soundly trounced and roundly censured for daring to suggest that Alia champion of the First Amendment who liberally peppered his speech with words (nigger and Uncle Tom) and opinions (the white man is the Devil and Im sure no intelligent white person watching this show want black boys and black girls marrying their white sons and daughters) that would horrify most of his politically correct fansmade more inflammatory/racist comments than Donald Trump. Speaking of Trump, in Fresno, California, a third-grader was ordered to remove his pro-Trump Make America Great Again hat because school officials feared for his safety. The 9-year-old boy refused, citing the First Amendment. That was the same argumenta concern for safetyofficials used in 2010 when they ordered several high school students to remove their t-shirts emblazoned with the American flag. The concern: wearing the flag on Cinco de Mayo, a Mexican day of celebration, might offend Hispanic students attending the school. The U.S. Supreme Court agreed with the schools logic. Coincidentally, that same week, the high court also ruled against Confederate flag license plates on the grounds that they constituted government speech and might be offensive to African-Americans. For those of us who came of age in the 1960s, college campuses were once the bastion of free speech, awash with student protests, sit-ins, marches, pamphleteering, and other expressive acts showing our displeasure with war, the Establishment and the status quo. Today, on college campuses across the nation, merely chalking the word Trump on the sidewalk is enough to have student groups crying foul and labeling it as hate speech in need of censorship. Under the misleading guise of tolerance, civility, love and political correctness, college campuses have become hotbeds of student-led censorship,trigger warnings,microaggressions, andred light speech policiestargeting anything that might cause someone to feel uncomfortable, unsafe or offended. As I point out in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, this doesnt even begin to touch on the criminalization and surveillance of various forms of speech that the government deems to be hateful, anti-government, extremist, bullying, dangerous or inflammatory. One could say that we have allowed our fearsfear for our safety, fear of each other, fear of being labeled racist or hateful or prejudiced, etc.to trump our freedom of speech and muzzle us far more effectively than any government edict could. Ultimately the war on free speechand thats exactly what it is: a war being waged by Americans against other Americansis a war that is driven by fear. America is in the midst of an epidemic of historic proportions. The contagion being spread like wildfire is turning communities into battlegrounds and setting Americans one against the other. Normally mild-mannered individuals caught up in the throes of this disease have been transformed into belligerent zealots, while others inclined to pacifism have taken to stockpiling weapons and practicing defensive drills. This plague on our nationone that has been carefully cultivated and spread by the powers-that-beis a potent mix of fear coupled with unhealthy doses of paranoia and intolerance, tragic hallmarks of the post-9/11 America in which we live. Everywhere you turn, those on both the left- and right-wing are fomenting distrust and division. You cant escape it. Were being fed a constant diet of fear: fear of terrorists, fear of illegal immigrants, fear of people who are too religious, fear of people who are not religious enough, fear of the government, fear of those who fear the government. The list goes on and on. The strategy is simple yet brilliant: the best way to control a populace is through fear and discord. Confound them, distract them with mindless news chatter and entertainment, pit them against one another by turning minor disagreements into major skirmishes, and tie them up in knots over matters lacking in national significance. Most importantly, keep the people divided so that they see each other as the enemy and screaming at each other so that they drown out all other sounds. In this way, they will never reach consensus about anything or hear the corporate state as it closes in on them. This is how a freedom-loving people enslave themselves and allow tyrants to prevail. This Machiavellian scheme has so ensnared the nation that few Americans even realize they are being manipulated into adopting an us against them mindset. Instead, fueled with fear and loathing for phantom opponents, they pour millions of dollars and resources into political elections, hoping for change that never comes. All the while, those in powerbought and paid for by lobbyists and corporationsmove their costly agendas forward, and we the suckers get saddled with the tax bills. We have been down this road before. A classic example is the fear and paranoia that gripped the country during the 1950s. Many huddled inside their homes and fallout shelters, awaiting a nuclear war. It was also the time of the Red Scare. The enemy this time was Communist infiltration of American society. Joseph McCarthy, a young Republican senator, grasped the opportunity to capitalize on the popular paranoia for personal national attention. In a speech in February 1950, McCarthy alleged having a list of over 200 members of the Communist Party working and shaping the policy of the U.S. State Department. The speech was picked up by the Associated Press, without substantiating the facts, and within a few days the hysteria began. McCarthy specialized in sensational and unsubstantiated accusations about Communist infiltration of the American government, particularly the State Department. He also targeted well-known Hollywood actors and directors, trade unionists and teachers. Many others were brought before the inquisitional House Committee on Un-American Activities for questioning. Regarded as bad risks, the accused struggled to secure employment. The witch hunt ruined careers, resulting in suicides, and tightened immigration to exclude alleged subversives. McCarthyism eventually smeared all the accused with the same broad brush, whether the evidence was good, bad or nonexistent. McCarthy, like many do today, appealed to the low instincts of envy, paranoia and dislike for the intellectual establishment. The real scoundrel in all this, writes historian David Halberstam, was the behavior of the members of the Washington press corps, who, more often than not, knew better. They were delighted to be a part of his traveling road show, chronicling each charge and then moving on to the next town, instead of bothering to stay behind and follow up. They had little interest in reporting how careless McCarthy was or how little it all meant to him. However, on March 9, 1954, Edward R. Murrow, the most-respected newsman on television at the time, broke the ice. He attacked McCarthy on his weekly show,See It Now. Murrow interspersed his own comments and clarifications into a damaging series of film clips from McCarthys speeches. Murrow ended the broadcast with one of the greatest news commentaries of all time, also a warning. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine; and remember that we are not descended from fearful men. Not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were for the moment unpopular. This is no time for men who oppose Senator McCarthys methods to keep silent, or for those who approve. We can deny our heritage and our history, but we cannot escape responsibility for the result. There is no way for a citizen of a republic to abdicate his responsibilities. As a nation we have come into our full inheritance at a tender age. We proclaim ourselves, as indeed we are, the defenders of freedom, wherever it continues to exist in the world, but we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home. The actions of the junior Senator from Wisconsin have caused alarm and dismay amongst our allies abroad, and given considerable comfort to our enemies. And whose fault is that? Not really his. He didnt create this situation of fear; he merely exploited itand rather successfully. Cassius was right. The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves. Whether youre talking about free speech, surveillance, police misconduct or some other symptom of a government that has grown drunk on its own power, the answer is always the same: we the people. We need to reject fear as our guiding principle, and restore freedom to its rightful place at the center of our republic. As William Ruger writes in a powerful editorial for Time: We must vigorously re-make the case for free speech. We must recur to its great defenders from ages past and reintroduce their ideas to our fellow Americans. The wisdom of John Milton, John Locke and John Stuart Millnot to mention that of Americans like George Mason and Justice Louis Brandeisis as true today as it was in their times. We just have to remember it we must transmit an understanding of the value of free speech to todays Americans in order to ensure that it is protected for future generations. And perhaps even more importantly, we need to demonstrate a vigorous commitment to free speech. Americas success depends on whether we continue to embrace this fundamental freedom. 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 ofBattlefield America: The War on the American People and A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State. your article is worthwhile, to a point. Where it falls into the same mire it wants to revile = libtard fear mongering is ; parroting the same old tired line about McCarthy-ism. In fact, Joe McCarthy was vindicated in every thing he publicized about the communists having infiltrated the government of America, right to the very top. Spot on. The Fabians, in particular, were being methodically integrated into the US govt. McCarthy was acting heroically, his only lack of insight was that the Fascists (Rockefeller, banksters, et al) were working with the Communists/Socialists to subvert democracy..Hegelian dialectic. I am a great fan of John Whitehead because his articles raise the importance of Free Speech, the need to eliminate the fascist police state and the need to stand up to the mob, a force which is mostly highly manipulated. I agree with the writer below, Mr. Watson, who reminds us that some of McCarthys most important accusations were, in fact, fully vindicated. We need to be constantly reminded that the central bankers fully funded the Bolshevik Revolution and other Communist take overs. Its easy to see how they profited by doing so. Many central bankers were the only winners in WWI and WWII. I wish we had whistleblowers today like Rep. McFadden, but we dont. We have no transparency in government, and Citizens United (SCOTUS, formerly the USSCt) has made the buying and selling of Congress as protected as Free Speech. Mr. Whitehead could be so much more effective if he didnt eliminate the support of intelligent women by choosing to endorse a religious view of reproductive rights (which is entirely opposed to abortion and acts to disallow women any reproductive rights), thereby replacing the civil rights of women with the power of religion to determine what women can do with their bodies. I am a huge fan of Ali, and his strength and courage in standing up against the destructive and illegal Viet Nam conflict was one of the pivotal moments in the anti-war movement. Ali had a lot to lose, and grave threats, including death threats, were leveled against him, and he stood tall. Ali was a tremendous being, and he stood for peace and worked tirelessly to promote the rights of children. He was the person behind the Childrens Peace Foundation which is why Hollywood solidly supported that organization. Unfortunately, the first child ambassador of the Childrens General Assembly died in a small plane crash, which crash was as suspicious as the untimely crash of the plane of JFK, Jr., happening as it did a week after JFK, Jr. announced he was seriously interested in running for president. Free Speech means Free Speech, and what Ali said in the 1960s and 1970s was accurate, even if it might not be politically correct to the Thought Police.

3	Documents Prove That Homeland Security Is Being Armed By US MilitaryJames Smith Eisenhowers warning to the American people over 50 years ago has been largely forgotten by most, but, like most warnings, is heeded too late. The Prophetess Cassandra, cursed by the gods, was ignored when she warned that Troy would soon be invaded. Recently, documents reviewed in the Federal Business Online website revealed a troubling discovery relating to the incestuous relationship within the Federal Government. It may have been perceived or even an open secret, but the Department of Defense has been with the Department of Homeland Security to provide them with massive amounts of fully automatic weapons. Weapons that have been banned from the general population for nearly 80 years. The Colt M4-LE is strictly a semi-automatic weapon used by civilian law enforcement. From the Colt website: Throughout the world today, the Colt M4s reliability, performance, and accuracy provide joint coalition forces with the confidence required to accomplish any mission. Designed specifically for lightweight mobility, speed of target acquisition, and potent firepower capability the M4 delivers. The M4 can be comfortably carried, yet be instantly available to provide the level of firepower, dependability and accuracy of a 5.56mm rifle. Proven in military combat operations all over the world, it is in a class by itself as a first rate combat weapon system. The Colt M4 Carbine serves as the United States Armed Forces weapon of choice and the weapon of the 21st century warfighter. The Colt M4 is the ONLY 5.56mm carbine in the world today that is manufactured to meet or exceed the stringent performance specifications (MILSPEC) required for acceptance and use by the U.S. Armed Forces. (emphasis added) The emphasized portions help point out the problem. The DHS is not engaged in an active war, but rather seems to be stockpiling in advance for a war against the American public. The military hardware being provided to local police departments is a technique known as Forward Placement, or Putting your stuff where you need it, just in case you need it. Buried within the solicitations Justification and Approval is this paragraph: Further within the document, this paragraph appears: While a less-than-lethal grenade launcher seems to be an oxymoron, the Colt website describes the grenade launcher as: The Colt M203 Grenade Launcher is a lightweight, single-shot, breech-loaded 40mm weapon specifically designed to be attached to the M4 Carbine and the M16A2 and A4 Rifles. It creates a versatile combination weapon system, capable of firing both 5.56mm rifle ammunition as well as the complete range of 40mm high explosive and special purpose ammunitions. A complete self-cocking firing mechanism, including barrel latch, trigger and positive safety lever is included in the receiver, which allows the M203 to be operated as a completely independent weapon even though attached to the Colt M4 Carbine or the Colt M16A4 Rifle. The M203 provides Colt M4 Carbines and Colt M16A2/A4 Rifles with breaching, defilade, and area engagement capabilities, making it an essential tool for every modern army. (emphasis added) Less-than-lethal seems to mean that whomever is firing the grenade wont be close enough to be hurt by the blast. Many fires, such as at the Branch Davidian compound, were set by using tear gas fired by a grenade launcher. The questions that everyone should be asking are as follows: Despite these questions never being asked, are those of us asking these questions and demanding answers being treated like Cassandra? Absolutely! Mocking, belittlement, and humiliation are the first tools in a tyrants toolbox to silence his opponents. And then comes the military-grade hardware.

2	BREAKING: Hillary Is Truly F****d, Feds Make Huge Arrest Disrupting Entire Campaign Another day; another Hillary Clinton scandal. Thats what happens when you nominate a career criminal for President. The Clinton campaign was sent into a panic this week when it was announced that one of her closest confidantes is facing jail time. One of Hillarys top campaign advisers, former Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane, will be spending some time behind bars. Kane was convicted on nine counts of felony, landing her two years in prison. She will face nearly a decade of probation after that. This case is about egoego of a politician consumed with her image from Day One, Judge Wendy Demchick-Alloy said in her statement. And instead of focusing solely on the business of fighting crime, her focus was on defeating these perceived enemies. The Clintons have been friends with Kane for a long time. Bill even publicly endorsed her campaign in 2012. What do you think? Does Hillary belong behind bars with her criminal friend? 
2	Trumps Latest Brutal Message About The Chattanooga Shooting Put Obama In His Place... Epic Donald Trump has never been afraid to speak his mindsomething that he has proved time and time again, and especially in the midst of the media backlash following his campaign announcement. Now, hes speaking up about what really happened in the Chattanooga shootings, and what should have been done to change it. Get rid of gun free zones, Trump tweeted. The four great marines who were just shot never had a chance. They were highly trained but helpless without guns. What do you think of Trumps response? Is he right? Would the Marines have faced a different fate if they were armed?

'I'm excited to be a part of the team,' said the foolish Bosh, evidently unaware of how his unwise move will cause generations of his descendants to be practically enslaved to China in order to pay off the debt he has taken on.

3	Americas Militarized Police: A Growing Threat to LibertyTed Baumann Everyone was happy. Everyone that is, except for the company-sized contingent of heavily-armed black-clad militarized police, complete with an armored assault vehicle and automatic weapons, which surrounded the event. Especially the guy who threatened me with arrest for backing my car up to the stage without awaiting orders. This, I realized grimly, isnt my granddads America anymore Family Traditions My grandfather Carl Bauman was also a musician (saxophone). Unlike me (guitar), he was a full-time professional. Absolutely unlike me, he never played surrounded by militarized police kitted out in the latest battlefield gear, imported from Americas far-off wars. Grandpa Carl died when I was little, and I have only vague memories. I have no idea what his politics were like. But given that he raised my father our own liberty-minded Bob Bauman Im pretty sure he would not have appreciated plying his trade under such circumstances. I know I didnt. The odd thing is, heightened vigilance was much more appropriate during Carl Baumans career than now. After all, he lived at a time when America faced truly existential threats: World War II, then the early Cold War. But even then, the deployment of militarized police at a Fourth of July parade wouldnt have made any sense. After all, the real threats came from outside the country. Tell It to New York There arent any Nazi Germanys or Soviet Unions out there to threaten us today. Instead, the threats used to justify militarized police at least the officially-acknowledged ones exist at two levels. Theres mass terrorism, like 9/11. Then theres local-level terror, similar to what weve seen in France and Australia recently. Neither of these threats, however, warrants the display of overwhelming force I saw last Fourth of July. Paramilitaries carrying small arms cant stop a city-scale attack. And Paris-style terror assaults are something for which local police forces should be prepared, not expect every time people gather in public. In any event, the chances of a terror incident in the U.S. are infinitesimally small less than that of a shark bite. The number of fatal terror incidents in most years since 2001 has been zero. So why then does New York City plan to establish a new 350-officer Special Response Group (SRG) equipped with extra heavy protective gear, sniper rifles, machine guns, drones andeven a small navy? Come to think of it, why does NYPD already have more manpower than theactive militariesof many sovereign nations? Thinking of Another Threat Entirely When NYPD Commissioner William J. Bratton announced the SRG, he said it was intended for advanced disorder control and counterterror for dealing with events like our recent protests or incidents like Mumbai or what just happened in Paris. He added that The officers will assist us in dealing with demonstrations terrorism, and large-scale disorder, and other so-called black swan events. As some commentators quickly pointed out, this amounted to equating civil protest with acts of terrorism. Although the NYPD subsequently clarified that the SRG wouldnt be carrying machine guns at public demonstrations, they admitted that they would be in nearby vehicles. Some comfort. The bottom line is that those Americans in positions of authority over such matters, such as Commissioner Bratton, do not distinguish between legal First Amendment protest and terrorism. Its just one big threat to order and authority, and therefore requires similar skill sets. And similar weapons. Even worse, the majority of Americans including those with otherwise admirable sentiments about liberty dont see this as a problem. Thats what really worries me. No Soldiers Sounds Good to Me That sounds like a really good idea to me. There are countries that support ideas such as liberty, freedom of expression and the right to demonstrate peacefully without having an automatic weapon pointed at your temple should you step out of line. Ive lived under one trigger-happy authoritarian government already. I didnt like it then and I dont like it now.

1	WASHINGTON, DCTelephone logs recorded by the National Security Agency and obtained by Congress as part of an ongoing investigation suggest that the vice president may have used the Oval Office intercom system to address President Bush at crucial moments, giving categorical directives in a voice the president believed to be that of God. President Bush sits at his desk in the Oval Office, where he received messages from an intercom voice identifying itself as 'God' and thought to have been Vice President Cheney (below). While journalists and presidential historians had long noted Bush's deep faith and Cheney's powerful influence in the White House, few had drawn a direct correlation between the two until Tuesday, when transcripts of meetings that took place in March and April of 2002 became available. In a transcript of an intercom exchange recorded in March 2002, a voice positively identified as the vice president's identifies himself as 'the Lord thy God' and promotes the invasion of Iraq, as well as the use of torture in prisoner interrogations. A close examination of Bush's public statements and Secret Service time logs tracking the vice president reveals a consistent pattern, one which links Bush's belief that he had received word from God with Cheney's use of the White House's telephone-based intercom system. Officials privately acknowledged that there is reason to believe that the vice president, as God, urged Bush to sign legislation benefiting oil companies in 2005. 'There's a lot of religious zeal in the West Wing,' said a former White House staffer who spoke on the condition of anonymity. 'It's possible that the vice president has taken advantage of that to fast-track certain administration objectives.' An ex-Treasury Department official and longtime friend of Cheney was asked to comment on the vice president's possible subterfuge. 'I don't know. I certainly don't think it's something [Cheney] planned,' he said. 'I do know that Mr. Bush was unfamiliar with a phone-based intercom, and I suppose it is possible that Dick took advantage of that.' A highly placed NSA official who has reviewed the information released Tuesday said Cheney masked his clipped monotone, employing a deeper, booming voice. Vice President Cheney. Said the NSA source: 'It sounded as though the speaker, who identified himself as God, stood away from the intercom to create an echo effect.' On Capitol Hill, sources are expressing surprise that Cheney, a vice president with more influence than any other in U.S. history, would have resorted to such deception. 'The vice president has a lot of sway in this administration,' said a former White House aide. 'But perhaps when President Bush was particularly resolute and resistant to mortal persuasion, the vice president chose to quickly resolve disputes in his favor with a half-decent God impression.' For many, the revelation explains Bush's confusion in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. 'I was very surprised by the president's slow response in New Orleans,' political commentator Bill Kristol said. 'The president told me that he was praying every day in his office, but had received no reply. I had no idea what he meant, but of course, it all makes sense now.' At the time of Katrina, Cheney was on a fly-fishing trip, from which he returned on Sept. 1. According to highly placed White House sources, Bush's senior advisers are trying to shield the president from the news. Aides are concerned that too harsh an awakening might shake Bush's faith, which has been a central part of his life for nearly 20 years. 'It's hard to tell the leader of the free world that he has been the butt of an elaborate and long-term ruse,' a former staffer said. 'Maybe it would be easier to take if it came from Cheney's God voice.' 
1	Though it once stood proud as a majestic and much-celebrated Super Bowl adcaptivating an audience of millions with its sleek, seductive images and stunning production valuesa television commercial for Doritos was reduced Wednesday to occupying a feeble 30-second slot between segments on The Price Is Right. 'It's tragic to see an ad fall so far so fast,' viewer Bob Crumbley said of the corn-chip spot, which just last month was beloved far and wide for its sly and good-natured humor, but has since become nothing more than a meddlesome obstruction to the Showcase Showdown. 'What a humiliating way to go.' The ad is scheduled to fall even further from grace next week, when a pathetically truncated 15-second version will air during a rerun of Judge Joe Brown. 
3	NATO: Lying All the Way to BarbarossaBy Tony Cartalucci From the ongoing refugee crisis triggered by NATOs own globe-spanning and ongoing military interventions, invasions, and occupations, to its continued expansion along Russias borders violating every convention and norm that existed during the Cold War to keep it cold, NATO has proven that it is to the populations it poses as protector over, in fact, their greatest threat. In particular, the summit in Warsaw, Poland centered on NATOs expanding military presence along Russias borders, particularly in the Baltic nations of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, as well as in Poland itself. The summit also covered ongoing NATO involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq, two nations so far beyond the Atlantic states the alliance allegedly was founded to protect, it would be comical if the consequences of their far-reaching meddling werent so serious. Global peace and stability is tenuously maintained through a careful balancing act between conflicting centers of power. The story of human history is that of this balancing act being performed. World War II, which gave way to the current international order we live in, came about because of a fundamental failure to maintain this balancing act. Perhaps the most troublesome aspect of World War IIs genesis, was the German military build-up along the then Soviet Unions borders characterized by Berlin at the time as a means of collective defense for Europe, when in fact it was the lead up to a full-scale invasion known now as Operation Barbarossa. It is troublesome particularly because NATO is currently building up its forces in almost precisely the same areas and in almost precisely the same manner Nazi Germany did in the 1930s. When German forces crossed into Russia on June 22, 1941, a potential balance of power meant to preserve Germany and the rest of Europe against perceived Soviet menace turned into a war that devastated both Europe and Russia. The subsequent Cold War is an example of a balancing act of power being performed mostly with success. However, despite many common misconceptions regarding the Cold War, the mere existence of opposing nuclear arsenals and the concept of mutually assured destruction was not why balance was maintained. Instead, balance was maintained by an immense framework, painstakingly constructed by both American and Soviet leaders, at the cost of both nations egos, pride, and interests and involved everything from agreements about the weaponization of space, to the composition and deployment of their nuclear arsenals, and even regarding defense systems designed to protect against nuclear first strikes. There were also specific and complex agreements arranged over the deployment of troops along each respective center of powers borders, including the borders of nations that existed within their spheres of influence. It was clear during the Cold War that both Washington and Moscow vied to expand their respective reach over the rest of the world, resulting in proxy wars everywhere from the Middle East to South America, and from Africa to Asia in a low-intensity bid relative to all-out nuclear war to gain the upper-hand. Preceding and in the wake of the Soviet Unions collapse, tentacles of Western influence had finally prevailed, and reached deep within Russia itself, eroding not only Russias own institutions and national sovereignty, but unsettling the global balance of power that had existed for decades after World War II. It was only during the rise of Russian President Vladimir Putin that this trend was reversed and something resembling global balance reemerged. It was clear that during the early 2000s, whatever progress the US had made in dismantling the remnants of Soviet checks to its otherwise unlimited desire for global hegemony, would need to come to an end, and a new framework mirroring that of the Cold War, established to accommodate emerging global powers including the Russian Federation But this is not what happened. Instead, under the administration of US President George Bush and continued under that of President Barack Obama, the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (ABM Treaty or ABMT) was unilaterally withdrawn from by the United States. Additionally, the United States beginning in the 1990s and continuing until today as seen in Ukraine has funded and backed various political coups across Eastern Europe under the guise of promoting democracy, installing client states along Russias borders. Attempts to undermine and overthrow governments continues in nations like Belarus and Azerbaijan, as well as the Central Asian states of Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Nations successfully overthrown and co-opted by Washington have been systematically turned against Russia economically, politically, and militarily. These nations are almost immediately folded into NATOs military alliance. In 2008, for example, the US client regime in Georgia would invade the Russian-backed republic of South Ossetia, precipitating a full-scale Russian response in what many believe was a NATO attempt to test Russian resolve. It is reminiscent of Nazi-Soviet geopolitical jousting in Finland just before Operation Barbarossa commenced. Ukraine, overthrown in a NATO-backed putsch between 2013-2014, has also taken a hostile posture toward Russia, and again, Western military aggression, seeking Ukraine as a vector through which to strike deeper at Russia is a direct replay of events that unfolded during World War II. The story of NATO post-Cold War has been one of confrontation, not of fostering security or stability. Instead of working on a new framework to establish global stability by recognizing a new emerging balance of power between East and West, NATO has attempted to race in a reckless bid to expand its own influence as far and wide as possible before this balance of power establishes itself through the realities of military, political, and economic force It appears that NATO may even be contemplating the destabilization and overthrow of the political order in Moscow itself with attempts to foster terrorism in Russias southern regions through massive NATO-backed conflicts in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, as well as the funding and support of hostile political fronts all across Russia. The Cold War was characterized by two distinct centers of power with little room for nations to deal in anything resembling an intermediary sphere of influence. Today, very easily, a gradient of balance can be established between North America, Europe, Russia, and Asia where the best benefits of dealing with each other could be enjoyed by all. The only requirements would be first allowing Europe to develop a foreign policy that reflected the best interests of its own governments, people, and industry, and second, the ability for Washington, London, and Brussels to abandon their unrealistic designs toward global hegemony and opt instead for a more realistic balance of multipolar power. NATO precludes all of this effectively coercing Europe into a zero sum game with Russia, just as it had done during the Cold War. Europe faces many threats. But none of them from Russia. It is flooded by refugees fleeing NATO wars. It is weathering instability in nations like Ukraine, whose political order was upended by NATO-backed political violence. And Europe is plagued by the irresponsible, reckless actions of prospective NATO members like Georgia, run by incompetent regimes installed by and for Washingtons best interests, not the stability and long-term interests of the European people. Europes leadership has clearly demonstrated no interest in recognizing these realities. It will be up to the European people themselves to demand a more rational shift away from the various, intentionally manipulative strategies of tension NATO has cultivated, and toward a more sensible and independent relationship with the world beyond the Atlantic alliance. There has been much talk of Britains leaving of the European Union. Perhaps it is time for the European Union to leave the long and corrosive influence of Anglo-American interests and institutions. Until then, the people of Europe should examine closely the lessons of history of aggressive expansion toward Russias borders, the lies such expansion was predicated upon, and the consequences those lies had on the security and stability of Europe when finally they were exposed through the unfolding conspiracy they were designed to obfuscate. The wheel of history turns not because our hands are on it, turning it, but because our apathy and ignorance has prevented our hands from stopping it. Tony Cartalucci, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook. Wars A Racket! We dont need a Cold War or a Hot War. This is all about control and profit! .the German military build-up along the then Soviet Unions borders characterized by Berlin at the time as a means of collective defense for Europe, when in fact it was the lead up to a full-scale invasion. A very distorted version of real events. This is the version which was approved by the ministry of truth. Perhaps the most troublesome aspect of World War IIs genesis, was the German military build-up along the then Soviet Unions borders Get rid of that comma.

1	Across the U.S., ceremonies have already begun to commemorate the 30th anniversary of 1973. 'No one who lived through 1973 can ever forget it,' said singer Tony Orlando, unveiling a plaque Monday on the National Mall reading '1973: 1973-2003.' 'From Richard Nixon's second inauguration to Billie Jean King's defeat of Bobby Riggs, 1973 was a special year that will be celebrated all year long.' The U.S. Postal Service announced plans Tuesday to observe the milestone with a paisley stamp trumpeting '30 Years Of 1973.' 
3	Oops: FBI Never Even Investigated The DNC Servers They Claim Russia HackedBy Carey Wedler Last week, the FBI released a joint analysis report with the Department of Homeland Security that focused on providing tips to prevent another cyber attack. But the agencies also claimed to have proof Russia hacked the Democratic National Committees (DNC) servers acts that resulted in the leaks of private emails that embarrassed the party and Hillary Clinton and arguably helped defeat her presidential campaign. But even as the media has parroted this analysis without question ignoring valid objections from cyber security experts the FBI itself reportedly failed to conduct an investigation into the DNCs email servers. Six months after the FBI first said it was investigating the hack of the Democratic National Committees computer network, the bureau has still not requested access to the hacked servers, Buzzfeed News reported exclusively on Wednesday. According to their report, Eric Walker, the DNCs deputy communications director, said in an email: The DNC had several meetings with representatives of the FBIs Cyber Division and its Washington (DC) Field Office, the Department of Justices National Security Division, and U.S. Attorneys Offices, and it responded to a variety of requests for cooperation, but the FBI never requested access to the DNCs computer servers. In May, private cyber security firm Crowdstrike claimed to have discovered evidence that Russian intelligence agencies had hacked the DNC. But as tech-oriented Ars Technica has noted of Crowdstrikes findings: [W]hile the hackers may have been caught in the act digitally, the details by themselves dont offer definitive proof of the identity of those behind the anti-Clinton hacking campaign. Public details currently dont offer clear insight into the specific intent behind these hacks, either. In fact, one criticism of the recent joint FBI-DHS report pointed out the difference between private and public intelligence. Robert M. Lee, a former U.S. Air Force Cyber Warfare Operations Officer and founder and CEO of cyber security firm Dragos, explained that data from different sources bears different confidence ratings and the FBI and DHS failed to disclose which data they were referencing in the report. As Buzzfeed notes, the analysis was attributed to broad intelligence across both public and private sectors. Nowhere in the report does it say that the government conducted its own computer forensics on the DNC servers. Regardless, Buzzfeed reports that an intelligence official said the FBI has relied on Crowdstrikes information. CrowdStrike is pretty good. Theres no reason to believe that anything that they have concluded is not accurate, the official reportedly said. Still, according to industry experts, the FBI likely broke from precedent by failing to conduct its own investigation of the DNC server: BuzzFeed News spoke to three cybersecurity companies who have worked on major breaches in the last 15 months, who said that it was par for the course for the FBI to do their own forensic research into the hacks. As such, Buzzfeed points out, it is unclear why the FBI failed to request access to the servers. Beginning at the time the intrusion was discovered by the DNC, the DNC cooperated fully with the FBI and its investigation, providing access to all of the information uncovered by CrowdStrike without any limits, Walker claims. But even as it had that access, the FBI didnt attempt to access the servers. Worse, according to the intelligence official cited by Buzzfeed, No US government entity has run an independent forensic analysis on the system. As the media continues to report the Russia-hacked-the-election narrative as fact and their articles are increasingly condemned for failing to provide hard evidence it appears the authorities making the claims are also failing to conduct sufficient research. The FBI declined to comment on this story. This article (Oops: FBI Never Even Investigated the DNC Servers They Claim Russia Hacked) is free and open source.

Its the same as keeping the lid on Sandy Hook, 9-11 and the others. Since Russia never hacked the DNC, there as nothing to show. What a bunch of crybabies. Comey and AG Lynch should resign, they are incompetent and do not understand the Rule of Law. Oh, they understand it alright, they just dont use it Each and every day we are subject to propaganda, yet many of us are oblivious to the fact that we are being manipulated so frequently. In light of compelling information and evidence which supports largely predictable outcomes, propaganda can be used to confuse, obstruct, and distract individuals and society from clearly understanding the issues at hand. As we face serious and interconnected challenges, it is important to understand the role propaganda plays in society. Propaganda is a form of communication geared towards manipulating and influencing the mindset of individuals through a series of emotionally charged messages. It can be used to either promote certain causes or to negatively influence and persuade people to support various ideological positions. People who own the society, the merchants and manufacturers, they are the architects of government policy and they design it in their own interest of course no matter how grievous the effect is on others. The point of corporate propaganda and the educational system is to instill these beliefs and it works pretty well. Adam Smith There is massive propaganda for everyone to consume. Consumption is good for profits and consumption is good for the political establishment. Noam Chomsky The major western democracies are moving towards corporatism. Democracy has become a business plan, with a bottom line for every human activity, every dream, every decency, every hope. The main parliamentary parties are now devoted to the same economic policies socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor and the same foreign policy of servility to endless war. This is not democracy. It is to politics what McDonalds is to food. John Pilger It sounds as if we must admit defeat and just allow this propaganda as if it is inevitable!!! I do not believe this action is right or in our best interest!!! While I believe Obama is trying to instigate a Civil War, what we really need to do is to turn that idea around. War should not be the answer-if it was God would not have given us a brain!!! For far too long we have resorted to force-sent our young men to die in order to avoid the hard work of finding the better solution. This is just another example of that. Foreign leaders around the world have implored the American people to rein in their corrupt government. We have the opportunity to do just that right now, with Trump. Fight the establishment without physical force. Fight the chain of endless wars by fighting the right way. Refuse to send young, innocent lives to stimulate the economy, or do the work we elected people who promised to do just that. If you need further proof that this is wrong, just look at Obamas eight years in office. How many wars are we involved in right now??? His failure as a leader is glaring. His answer to those problems is obvious. The result of that is also. Its about time we look to the obvious and change course. Civil War will lead us into irreparable damage. And God will not permit it. We must use the brains God gave us for a chance to survive. If the answer is not immediate-pray!!! It will come!!! FBI couldnt conclude that the Secretary of States private email server was hacked or not, and the secrets there were much better, classified and top secret. I would conclude that if Guccifer (1) hacked Bush/Powell/Blumenthal, the Russian were following him right into the Clinton server, especially after he exposed the private email address. This is the Russian hacking they and the MSM refuse to acknowledge. Hacking the DNC, if that did happen, only highlighted the corruption of the Democratic party, not state secrets. Hillary and DNC would not let the FBI look directly way to much evidence of their own crimes on those computers and servers. They would be turning themselves in for Election crimes. They used a 3rd party to go through the computers that they hired then released the approved information to the FBI. Much like she did with all of her (Dam e-mils). Nothing was needed from those computers to use against Hilliary Clinton in the election. She already had lost the election. Americans with any brains already knew enough about her that they would not vote for her. And she just kept opening her mouth and spouting lies during her campaign. If you will lie about simple facts that can be checked easily ,what else willyou lying about. Get over yourselves. You lost mainly because the last 8 years have been awful awful awful and people are tired of the crap. The new IG investigation by the DOJ SHOULD include Loretta Lynch and it isnther inappropriate meeting on the tarmac with Bill Clinton while an investigation of his wife was going on, then recusing herself from participation in Comeys reopened investigation and most of all, not assigning an outside prosecutor to go after Hillary for her unsecured server. Much worse- her own assistant AG providing information to John Podesta about the FBI investigation into Clintons server- all being overlooked, are all the real issues placing our security agencies in jeopardy. They have become politicized and havent operated the way they were set up to function. This is purposeful interference to try and discredit the President Elect and is all a leftover of the outgoing administration. The patriots who will begin on Jan 21 will hopefully restore law and order to America and really look after the best interests of We The People. 
3	Police Are Using The Dallas Shooting To Go After Legal Open CarryBy Kory Watkins Texas was one of five states to not have legal open carry of a modern-day handgun this was until people grew frustrated and did something about it. Not too long ago, there were dozens of marches each month all across Texas to further gun freedoms. They would call them open carry rallies. People from all over would march with long guns, signs, flags, and some even passing out Constitutions. Clearly, by now, everyone in the world has heard what happened in Dallas. Dallas Police, the Mayor, and media are now pushing the narrative open carry people caused confusion in the Dallas shooting. They are using this horrific event as a tool to push a political agenda against open carry. Its despicable! Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said, Its logical to say that in a shooting situation, open carry can be detrimental to the safety of individuals. The facts show that where there are more law-abiding citizens with guns, there is less crime. Statistically speaking, the Mayor wants people to be unarmed targets, also known as victims. Whats sad, is the first suspect who was blasted all over the news, was incorrect. He could have been the robot victim for all we know. Thankfully, that did not happen, because Mark Hughes turned his gun over to police right when the shooting was going on. Sadly, it was in fear that he would be a suspect and be blamed. How sad is that? He was in fear of his life, so he had to turn his gun in so he would not be blamed. Is that how far we have come? Major Max Geron of the Dallas police department said, There was also the challenge of sorting out witnesses from potential suspects. Texas is an open carry state, and there were a number of armed demonstrators taking part. There was confusion on the radio about the description of the suspects and whether or not one or more was in custody. Do the police need more common sense? The people that have their guns, slung over their backs, in a non-aggressive manner, are probably not the targets. Senior Sgt. Chris Dyer, president of the Dallas County Sheriffs Association, said large cities like Dallas should pass ordinances that would ban open carry of firearms during large events like protest marches. He said, Even open carry proponents will see the common sense in restricting open carry in environments like a protest. Hes wrong. I myself am appalled to hear anything remotely restricting a private citizen from protecting themselves. Did they randomly forget about all these mass shootings are happening in GUN FREE ZONES? In addition, Dyer is saying something that goes againsthis oath he swore to uphold. You cant pass a city ordinance that goes against the right to keep and bear arms. That is unconstitutional and he should lay his badge down. Another open carry supporter, CJ Grisham, President and founder of Open Carry Texas said in a statement to the Free Thought Project, If you cant identify a threat you shouldnt be wearing a badge. Chairman for the Libertarian Party of Texas, John Wilford tells the Free Thought Project, There is nothing common or sensible about that argument, and every armed cop realizes that, or else they would not have brought their service arms. Lets stand against violent individuals in unity, not thin our own ranks in such a way that makes the good guys easier targets. Chairwomen for the Libertarian Party in Tarrant County, Texas, Liz Scripter also said, As it happened, the activist incorrectly labeled a suspect gave up his ability to defend himself in order to prevent the police from shooting him out of their own fear and prejudice. He correctly perceived his life was endangered more by the police than the sniper(s). It appears the Dallas PDs concerns leading to suggested restrictions on rights to self-defense is an acknowledgment that their people are likely to shoot first and ask questions later. Virgil Vaduva founder of Ohio Open Carry said, Open carry is not a threat to citizens but rather a deterrent for criminals to force themto reconsider their actions. Brett Sanders from BrettSanders.me tells the Free Thought Project, I am an open carry proponent, and I would invite the Dallas Sheriffs Association to lead the way. They should lead by example and conceal their weapons during said protests. Their eyes are clearly off the ball. Joel Gardner, an open carry supporter, who runs the Voluntary East Texas Showaptly explains that Taking away our rights will not make us safer. People with bad intentions do not open carry. Andre Gabriel Esparza, a writer and open carry supporterfrom DontComply.com said, Wrong, because if everybody had a gun on their hip it would be a deterrent for those who would abuse the right by committing senseless violence. Do you get the drift? I could go on for days with open carry proponents who strongly go against what Dyer said. He speaks on behalf of corruption, not the people. This is just another bald-faced lie to smear a group of people and create a scapegoat. The Dallas police department knows that there were 1,000s of open carry rallies across America the last two years and none of them had a problem with safety concerns, or who was a bad or good guy. The Dallas police, the sheriffs association, the Mayor, and the media should all be ashamed of themselves using this horrific event as a means to smear a group or move on anevil political agenda. Kory Watkins writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. The gun carriers everyone of every color and creed and every neighborhood should be most concerned about are the ones with badges. My comment on gun safety was just censored for moderation no this site that boasts freedom of expression. Hmm, Ive run into that as well. NEVER on this site yet. ALWAYS on to-be-avoided shill sites such as raw story, common dreams etc. for the heinous crime of posting verifiable facts about Israel/AIPAC and the Neo-Bolsheviks. The best advice I can give? make certain your posts are devoid of obscenities etc. if they block it, unsubscribe from ALL their forums, BLOCK further contact and NEVER darken their door again. Then send out a mass email to all your contacts exposing the site for what it is. An armed society is a polite society. I used to live in New Hampshire, an OPEN carry state. Problem is, the Police would The solution is for more people to open carry more often. They cant jail the entire population. Fools. They attack the inanimate object that cannot do anything instead of the human who decides to kill. That is because the Fools simplistic minds cannot craft a solution to the impossible task of preempting criminal behavior. So, they cling to a simple solution. If gun bans were enacted and murder still continued (see 2024 small man in China using a knife to kill 29 and injure 143, including police), then the Fools would next seek to have everyones hands cutoff to stop killings. Plus One look at the bulk of Israels Palestinian victims screams out WE PREFER THE UNARMED If you are a citizen of Texas and tired of this nonsense from government employees, turn their argument against them, and see how they like it. ======================================= When police openly carry their guns, it becomes impossible for citizens to differentiate between the officers who are racists that want to use black people for skeet shooting, vs. the officers that want to legitimately protect the public. Therefore, open carry of guns by police should be banned. So they arent racists for shooting Whites, even though they shoot twice as many Whites as blacks? I happened to notice this morning that Israeli trained Taking into account how treasonous our Israeli trained cops are, dual citizen owned DHS Shall we create a scenario? An upset group of people begin to legally demonstrate, some Conspiracy nut? Not hardly. It was proven many times, (conveniently years later), So tell me again about fair police. IF Police are doing this then I am NOT on their side and they better STOP THIS! Or Im going to be feeling like a negro out there. Not to shoot but like cops are out to get me. Use some common sense, just because you can doesnt mean you have to. Why walk around looking like youre waiting for WWIII to start when youre just going to walmart ? Same thing about going to a demonstration, why go looking like an army of one when you know it could cause more trouble than you can handle ? Change the Walmart words around a bit and you have Mart.Law Strange coincidence ? Done on purpose. They love leaving signs and clues. Ever notice that? And of course I hear that several Walmart stores have been turned into bases? Im in Australia but I cover a fair bit of what happens in the US. The Walmart thing was pointed out to me when the jadehelm thing was going down and operating from empty walmart stores Stay tuned for possible action all over the country Friday 15th. I hope nothing happens but BLM and the Socialist have already said theyll protest the RINO convention and the DEMO convention July 26th.-28th. From the outside looking in, division is exactly what they are trying to do. They are speeding things up now too. Any bets obama stays in as POTUS? Watching with interest, friend. It affects us all regardless of where we live Obama is a danger to the whole earth, hes determined to push Russia and China into attacking us, right now its a race to see which one blinks first. Obama is going nowhere.no fake elections this year for the American People.it is all reality television and really blatantly obvious what Hilary and Trump areI think Donald Trump is a lucifererian wink wink for the 6th Trump. Everything will happen very suddenly and the masses will never see it coming. We are in the season and we are in the battle. So, for those of us that stand for Truth and The One True Christ and not the UN and Lucis Trust the christ we will be protected, we will be fed and we will be given waterWe have nothing to fear from them. They have everything to fear from us. So, I think they will do a false flag in a major American City probably more than one City and this could also be multiple attacks globally. I believe they are going to use a small nuclear and I do not believe they will be using crisis actors this time. So we continue to watch and continue to warn no matter how crazy it may sound to othersbecause there is no way for us to have known what would be happening today had we not been familiar with the Holy King James Bible and had we not watched them and every evil thing they have done, continue to do and will do. Global economic collapse is coming. Martial Law is already happening very quickly in France behind the fake crisis actor events. Germany also behind fake crisis actor events.as well as other nationsAmerica has way too much blood on our hands to not get our punishment. We allowed this evil and now the brave ones of courage and faith must stand against it. Good post, Victory. Thank you! Thank you Brett for choosing truth over lies. God Bless you always and those you love. Thank you, Victory. All the best to you and yours, also more symbolismthey never do anything without telling us. Have you seen those illuminati cards from the 80s? But even now they tell usnot many can seeThank God we canI would rather die standing for something than bowing my knees to filth offering me breadcrumbs.Stay strong we do not have much longer and then we get to play our role.their party is coming to an end. Too right, Victory! And yes its kind of strange how they give us clues? Even movies are full of clues. Signs, symbols, and clues everywhere. Point these things out to people and you just get a distant look. I must be crazy hey? Lol. Im with you, they wont win in the end Expect more false flags to go after gun rights in the more free of the states. Well why d we not ban protest too Because we have this pesky document called the Constitution. Mr mayor, come and take it! Those that want to compromise security for safety deserve neither! 
1	According to sources at Thomas E. Dewey Middle School, all 26 students in Mrs. Flannerys fifth-period health class squirmed uncomfortably and grimaced in disgust Thursday throughout the screening of a 45-minute educational video titled The Miracle Of Abortion. Sources reported that the film, which uses actual footage of one womans abortion experiencefrom contacting a provider, to entering the facility, to induced dilation and suction-aspiration, to disposalwas shown to the anxious and embarrassed students on a large television set that had been wheeled in from the AV department. It was so sick, said 13-year-old Ethan Grimm, stating that he felt queasy and could barely eat lunch after watching the video. When it came out, it was all slimy and such a gross color. Ugh. Weve all heard about how abortions work, but I didnt expect it to be so disgusting in real life, Grimm added. During the videos first 20 minutes, as the patient and various surgical tools were prepped for the procedure, the only noise reportedly made by the students was the sound of anxious fidgeting as they repositioned themselves in their seats. While many grew red in the face and giggled audibly at the first sight of the womans genitals, the chuckles are said to have quickly turned into gasps and groans of revulsion as the film approached its climactic scene of embryo evacuation. Class members confirmed that ever since the sixth grade, the inevitable prospect of watching The Miracle Of Abortion had filled them with a sense of dread and nervous anticipation, as they had heard disturbing, yet intriguing, tales from older students about the highly graphic nature of the video, including ominous mentions of placentas, speculums, and an electric pump. According to reports, the level of anxiety in Mrs. Flannerys class began rising earlier this week when students began a sex-education unit on unwanted pregnancy. Later, after watching the video, the eighth-graders unanimously agreed that the simple line drawings in the Abortion chapter of their health class textbook had not prepared them for the real footage and graphic scenes depicted in the film. I couldnt even watch when they showed the doctor examining the uterine contents, said Jessica Coleman, 13, noting that the whole process appeared unbearable to her. I think I still want to have a kid aborted when I get older, but after watching this video, I think Ill only have one. In spite of the classs overwhelming negative response, numerous sources confirmed that one student, 14-year-old Travis Wesson, appeared totally into the video, leaning in toward the screen and never once averting his eyes. In both the moments leading up to and immediately following the screening of the film, health teacher Diane Flannery, 53, is said to have reminded the unsettled students that the events depicted on screen were 100 percent real, and simply a natural part of life and sexual behavior. Every year, theres a lot of uneasiness when I show this video, Flannery said. I recognize its uncomfortable for kids their age to watch, but as they start to become aware of their own sexuality, its important they see what actually happens to the female body during abortion. Theyre going to have to learn about it some time, Flannery continued. And while they may find abortion unpleasant now, I always assure them that when they become sexually active adults and start thinking more about their own lives and children, theyll realize what a true miracle it is. 
1	Having continued to display learning deficits and a failure to reach basic educational milestones, the nation's school systems will be asked to repeat the academic year, sources confirmed Friday. 'We know this is disappointing news, but we believe it's for the best,' said Education Secretary Arne Duncan, who pointed out that many underperforming schools glide under the radar for years without achieving any kind of proficiency in math, reading, or science. 'An extra year will give America's school systems some time to get a better handle on the subject matter so they can catch up with the other nations.' Duncan added that allowing school systems to continue on without meeting minimum standards wouldn't be fair to all the kids who come to school every day prepared to learn. 
3	Vermont Farmers Markets to Allow Raw Milk DeliveryHeather Callaghan One such state has a large vocal demand for food freedom Vermont. The same Vermont that just passed the first state GMO food labeling law. With farm sales of raw milk legal in Vermont, the next logical step would be availability at farmers markets, right? Last Saturday at the Capital City Farmers Market, marks the very first time raw milk appeared at a farmers market at least in the last 60 years or so. Act 149 took some wherewithal. The legislation passed on July 1 that allows farmers markets to be a delivery hub. Of course, the farmer is not allowed to sell milk there. But a person who made a purchase through the farmer at the farm or visited the farm at least once is allowed to pick up their purchases thereafter at the market. It is beneficial for convenience and greater marketing, visibility. The state already regulates who can sell raw milk, breaking farmers into two tiers, with the second tier reserved for bigger producers. Tier-two farmers, or those who sell up to 280 gallons of raw milk per week, were allowed to sell the milk at their farms or deliver to the customers home, before the recent law expanding delivery to farmers markets. Frank Huard, a goat farmer from Craftsbury Common, was the first at the farmers market in Montpelier to take advantage of the new law. The Huard Family Farm has won the states highest quality milk award for its goats milk from the Vermont Dairy Industry Association in 2009, 2011 and 2013. Huard believes it is good for expanding into greater markets and convenient if both the farmer and customer will be at the same place anyway. However, he points out an added and perhaps unnecessary major inconvenience of the ruling consumers having to visit the farm at least once. With him being an hour away from the market, what if a farmers market patron lives away from the market in the opposite direction? They need to lose hours of drive time out of a busy schedule to stay for how long 15 minutes? Huard had been hoping to expand his market beyond his farm. He calls it baby steps for raw milk access. Baby steps for his growing career as a goat farmer after leaving the concrete industry during the Recession in 2008. Alan LePage, farmer and president of Barre Farmers Market says, I resent the fact that the state seems to think they know better than anyone else about the subject. And, he has a lot to say about the misconceptions surrounding raw milk at the Times Argus report which also further describes Huards goat farming lifestyle. No word on how that stipulation to visit the farm first came about to remove a liability? Vermont lawmakers were very concerned about liabilities mainly from big food corporations and chemical makers upon passing the GMO labeling law. With issues and regulatory scrutiny aimed at raw milk production heating up, some farms have taken to getting their milk independently certifiedfor added transparency.

I just have to make sure Im mentally prepared ahead of time, because I know the minute I say hello to anyone in my office, theyll immediately launch into a player-by-player recap of how their team did this weekend, and then probably say something about how they would have won if they just followed their instincts about who to start instead of following experts picks, said sales representative Alan Ferro of Dallas, echoing the sentiments of hundreds of millions of Americans, all of whom were silently encouraging themselves to be strong for the next four months so they could endure continuous conversations on the pros and cons of various potential waiver wire pickups. Ill try asking Todd in accounting how his kids are doing, and hell somehow circle right back to complaining about a rash of running back injuries that have once again derailed his whole season. But that's just how it is every year until January. You just have to be tough and power through it. At press time, the nation was also beginning to brace itself for the small contingent of coworkers who would, in just a few short months, begin loudly explaining why theyre not going to watch the Super Bowl. 
2	Black Lives Matter CoBlack Lives Matter co-founder Marissa Jeanae Johnson is under fire after making some seriously racist remarks in an interview with Fox News. 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. 
3	Google: More Govt Pressure than Ever to ERASE Political Content from WebMelissa Melton The Register is reporting a pressure surge from politicians, judges, cops and the like to remove material from Google thats critical of them: Today, the advertising giant said that, in the first six months of 2013, it received 3,846 demands from public officials to remove 24,737 personal blog posts, YouTube videos and other pieces of content it hosts. Thats up 68 per cent on the second half of 2012. And according to the web giant, which has just published its latest transparency report, 93 requests focused on content that was critical of people in public office. Defamation and copyright infringement were often cited, but less than one third of the highlighted material was removed in the first half of 2013. A whopping 93% of the requests basically all of them were attempting to censor people who are critical of public officials on the web. While some content may actually be defamation, just how gray are the lines surrounding that definition? In the U.S., requests were up 70% and included 27 federal agency requests to pull apps from the Google Play store for trademark infringement. As for the U.K., Google wrote, We received a request from a law firm representing a former Member of Parliament to remove a preview from Google Books that allegedly defamed the MP by suggesting he was engaged in illegal activity. We removed the preview. In 2012, the Internet Society took of poll of more than 10,000 Internet users from over 20 countries around the world and found that the majority of them (86%) strongly agreed that Freedom of expression should be guaranteed on the Internet. But free expression isnt guaranteed. In fact, depending on what country you live in, the Internet landscape can look like a very different place one with a whole lot of filtering going on. Take China for example. If you live in China, you are not allowed to access social networking sites like Facebook or Twitter. They are just blocked, period. Information that might embarrass the Chinese government, such as information on the Tiananmen Square Massacre during which the government implemented martial law and killed thousands of pro-democracy protestors, simply does not exist on the Internet when accessed in China. Its as if none of that stuff ever happened. China has essentially erased the online history books. Thats what happened in George Orwells 1984 when history was literally erased and rewritten to a Big Brother-centric point of view. And that is exactly what our so-called leaders would love to do to our Internet all over the world. Silence political dissent. Dont believe it? Check out the Stratfor email posted on WikiLeaks claiming that CIA Director John Brennan is behind a witch hunt for anyone printing materials negative to the Obama agenda. (Probably not gonna find that link with a Google search) Its sad we live in such an Orwellian time that politicians can just get whole chunks of the Internet they do not agree with (or that do not agree with them) erased, much like the Ministry of Truth rewriting history in the book 1984 which was a novel, not an instructional manual, for the record. 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! 
3	Visiting Eli Lilly Headquarters: Marketing Big Pharma Profits at the Expense of Public SafetyBy Aaron Dykes Driving up towards it, I had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. What we know about this place was just enough to make me feel ill. With the shameful record of having only one sham of a study on the safety of Thimerosal back in the 1920s, Eli Lilly has had the gall to insist upon the safety of their products even as its mercury preservative remains a key suspect in increasing vaccine damage cases. This, even as lobbyists in Washington moved to get a secret rider in the Patriot Act to give immunity to pharma companies in lawsuit cases of autism linked to thimerosal-containing vaccines which would benefit one Big Pharma outfit in particular. Meanwhile, Congressional inquiries are given the run around, whistleblowers have their character assassinated and concerned parents and citizens are ignored, scorned, or ridiculed in the mainstream media. There admittedly more than 100,000 deaths each year in America that are caused by prescribed use of pharmaceutical drugs and big damages awarded in vaccine injury courts (paid by taxpayers, not vaccine companies). As the Huffington Post noted, federal courts have now ruled in favor of a vaccine-caused autism and paid victims. The cat is out of the bag: After years of insisting there is no evidence to link vaccines with the onset of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the US government has quietly conceded a vaccine-autism case in the Court of Federal Claims. The unprecedented concession was filed on November 9, and sealed to protect the plaintiffs identify. And yet, the FDA is not doing its job, the problem is not going away, and more and more drugs are rolled out each year. Why does it have to be this way? What would you say to Eli Lilly? For those wanting specific, detailed information on vaccine issues, please watch our Truthstream News vaccine episode, where we tried to cover as much of this area as possible. Theres so much scandal, it just isnt possible to cover it all, or to recall detailed facts after driving all night on a road trip (which brought us to Lilly HQ). Truthstream News: About All Those Vaccines Aaron Dykes is a co-founder of TruthstreamMedia.com. 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	Trey Gowdy Just Did The Unthinkable To Hillarys Partner In Crime Comey... He Wont Stop FBI Director James Comey has been digging a deeper and deeper hole for himself in his attempts to cover up for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. With each attempt, he risks a charge of perjury when the truth finally comes out. Representative Trey Gowdy has made it very clear that he intends to hold Comey accountable for his role in this whole debacle. For some time now, his goal has been to bring justice to all U.S. soldiers and field agents who participated in Clintons criminal acts. He has been working very closely with Congressman Jason Chaffetz of Utah, and held yet another hearing where he grilled Comey. 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 then turned his attention to Hillarys former chief of staff Cheryl Mills. Mills has been pulled into the scandal after denying she knew anything about Clintons use of a personal email server. I think she lied to everybody, he added. Come on, theres direct evidence that she actually did know. It makes no sense! What do you think? Do you applaud Gowdy and Chaffetz for refusing to back down?

3	Journalist Eva Bartlett DESTROYS Mainstream Journalist Over Syria, AleppoBy Brandon Turbeville Bartlett has been regularly posting articles and videos regarding the truth in Syria on her own personal website, In Gaza, and through publications on other websites like The Duran, Global Research, Mint Press, and through her interviews with channels like RT and other alternative media outlets. I encourage every reader to access and read her article, Aleppo: How US Saudi-Backed Rebels Target Every Syrian: War Diary By Western Journalist Eva Bartlett On The Truth About Aleppo as well as the other excellent reporting on her website. After having left Syria, Bartlett took part in a press conference organized by the Syrian mission to the United Nations. After giving a brief statement about what she has observed in Syria and how she is aware firsthand of the Western medias deception in terms of coverage of the crisis, she was questioned by a Norwegian journalist, Christopher Rothenberg, who challenged her claims that the Western media was lying. You talk the corporate media, the Western media, the lies, and all of this. Could you explain what might be the agenda from us in the Western media and why we should lie, Rothenberg asked. Why the international organizations on the ground should lie? Why we shouldnt believe all these absolutely documentable facts that we see from the ground? These hospitals being bombed. These civilians that are talking about the atrocities that they have been experiencing. How can you justify calling all of us liars? Bartletts epic response can be viewed here: She begins by admitting that there are certainly honest journalists among the very compromised establishment media. Bartlett then addresses Rothenbergs second question first, by asking him to name one international organization on the ground in Eastern Aleppo. Rothenberg, of course, could not answer the question; so, after a long pause of silence, Bartlett proceeded to point out that there are none. She then dismantled the reliability of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (staffed by one man in Coventry, UK on the Internet) and the notorious terrorist support group known as the White Helmets. Bartlett replied, These organizations are relying on the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights [SOHR], which is based in Coventry, UK, which is one man. Theyre relying on compromised groups like the White Helmets. Lets talk about the White Helmets: They were founded in 2013 by a British ex-military officer, they have been funded to the tune of $100 million by the US, UK, Europe and other states. She pointed out that the White Helmets purport to be rescuing civilians in eastern Aleppo and Idlibno one in eastern Aleppo has heard of them; and I say no one bearing in mind that now 95% of these areas of eastern Aleppo are liberated. At the same time, The White Helmets purport to be neutral, and yet they can be found carrying guns and standing on the dead bodies of Syrian soldiers. She added, their video footage actually contains children that have been recycled in different reports; so you can find a girl named Aya who turns up in a report in say August, and she turns up in the next month in two different locations. Bartlett then addressed Rothenbergs second question. As forthe agenda of some corporate media: it is the agenda of regime change, she said. How can the New York Times[or] Democracy Nowmaintain until this day that this is a civil war in Syria? How can they maintain until this day that the protests were unarmed and non-violent until say 2012? That is absolutely not true. How can they maintain that the Syrian government is attacking civilians in Aleppo, when every person thats coming out of these areas occupied by terrorists is saying the opposite? Bartlett also fielded questions from another journalist who asked about the differences between Western and Russian/Syrian media reporting of the situation in Aleppo, including the fact that terrorists have repeatedly mined areas once they have retreated as well as the Russian-Syrian cooperative effort to evacuate civilians from rebel-held territory. Sputnik covered the interaction in this way: You ask why we arent seeing this, Bartlett chimed in. This relates to the other gentlemans question about why most of the corporate media are telling lies about Syria. Its because this is the agenda; if they had told the truth about Syria from the beginning, we wouldnt be here now. We wouldnt have seen so many people killed. In fact, she noted, what the Russian mediais [showing] is exactly what the Syrian media is saying, and it shows what independent people in Syria are saying. With regard to other flaws in mainstream media coverage, including the sensitive topic of alleged Syrian and Russian air force attacks on hospitals, Bartlett offered another example of media manipulation. They have manufactured stories, and I can give you a precise account, she said. In April this year, there was a story about a hospital called the Al-Quds Hospital which in a concerted effort all media said was attacked, targeted and badly damaged by either the Syrians or the Russians. In fact the Russians had satellite imagery showing that this hospital was in the shame shape that it was in in October 2015. No difference; it was not attacked. Continuing, Bartlett recalled that months later, the Guardian, a prominent British newspaper, actually said that the Al-Quds hospital that it had alleged months prior to be attacked and destroyed, was treating victims of so-called chemical weapons attacks. So even the media that is lying is inconsistent in their lies. In the meantime, she added, unfortunately, Western governments and the media have ignored real attacks on hospitals throughout Syria by anti-government rebels and terrorists.

True heroic journalism. I loved that comment!! And her sources are one of the belligerents in the conflict. I wonder if there is any bias in that Good point. I thought it was omplied she had a lot of experience there (two years?) Yes but in areas of assads control. You notice a massive difference in the reporting of RT compared to other worldwide outlets revolving the civil war On of my fav quotes that breaks it down in a few words: Well know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.. William Casey CIA Director (from 1st staff meeting 1981) Very 1984ish hey? Yeah the CIA did many illegal things throughout the Cold War period. Drug dealing, Operation mockingbird to name a few. They havent had a major post Cold War scandal since, largely due to the increase of journalism and news sources in the information era. But state owned news sources are very much government influenced like RT. I dont think enough people listen to NPR to turn it into a brainwashing machine NPR, which is 90% funded by the rich, is heard nationwide 24-7 and must have a listening audience over 100 million, together with all of corporate mainstream media which is owned by the corporate rich, surely they are all orchestrated to produce propaganda that never offends or contradicts Western powers and Western governments. Experience does not make people honest, for our voting majority has no love for truth and experience for them only makes it harder to except the truth. Might be more than a bit dangerous for yet another female to approach ISIS after whats happened to the rest of the females theyve gotten their hands on. Despite being funded, trained, armed, fed and transported about with US dollars, even the US who knows where to air drop supplies, communicates with ISIS leaders from a safe place. The important point is that she has been on the ground in this shifting, dangerous place, and probably knows a bit more than you do who depend solely on the media repeating the official line. I understand the heroin production from Afghanistan is a record one this year, bigger and more than ever. I also understand that one of the reasons the US funds all these Islamic males to form into Taliban, Al Qaeda, ISIS, Al Nustra, etc., etc. militias and armies is to protect the heroin production and trade. The massive killing of civilians and messing around with Syrian sovereignty is bonus. Oh, the fun of off books accounting and Black Ops. Youd think the money from the US cut of the heroin would fully cover the cost and US Taxpayer dollars wouldnt be necessary to fund ISIS and their kin. horrors have been endured by innocent men, women, children and animals along with property and a nations heritage resulting from the war against syria. this is only a glimpse of what has been done to life on this planet by ruling forces with absolute power who disdain humans. for those who cant handle this truth, returning to the matrix will offer much needed relief. The 74% of population who voted for President Assad in his last election, they were all belligerents? Voting was only ope to an increadly small portion of the population that was solidly in Assads control, not an accurate number In this very report, Eva mentions that voting was open to the expat community and that many expats traveled to their resident countrys Syrian embassy to cast their votes. Over 5 million Syrians voted in the 2012 parliamentary elections, a turnout over 51%. Well over 11 million voted in the 2014 presidential election, a turnout over 73%. (The population of Syria in 2014 was under 18 million, many of whom are minors or otherwise ineligible to vote.) Thus, 11 million is not an incredibly small portion of the population. Its true the election was difficult or impossible to conduct within rebel areas, as the rebels actively attempted to disrupt the election in all areas, but over 73% braved the rebel threats of violence to cast their ballots. A significant portion of them voted against Assad, so Id say he did a pretty miserable job of controlling and intimidating the voters. Since you are contradicting whats in Evas report, its up to you to Your comments uniformly reflect that Western corporate media narratives. Why is that? Did you miss all the lies they told you about incubator babies, WMD and genocide in Libya? The genocide against sub-Saharan Africans in Libya was carried out by rebels after Qaddafi was overthrown. Fooled you thrice, and you come back for a fourth? Saying half the country voted doesnt matter if the other half supporters the rebels. First of all most analysis dont think real turnout was at 73%. The Gulf Cooperation Council, the European Union and the United States dismissed the election as illegitimate. The fact is that Syrian government is a dictatorship, and they will make sure that the government will stay in power. Assad according to government won by 90% a highly improbable number by any account. Im not sure why you guys are trying to defend a dictator that has been killing civilians. Im guessing your not a Russian citizen. Why are you complaining about western media while believing a reporter that works for a government propaganda machine. Of course western media has made some mistakes, but trusting a state media devoted to spreading misinformation over it is absurd. I replied but for some reason its being moderated. Why do you believe gthe propaganda of GCC, EU and US AFTER THEYVE LIED TO YOU FOR DECADES. First off every single international organization isnt lying to us. A slight bit of distrust is good but complete distrust is absurd, when the only example you can point to is WMDs which were rejected by the UN. Its much more abused that you would trust a progranada news agency that has had anchors walk out live, saying that it was state influenced propaganda. Excellent expose.these women are exceptionalPeace One voice of truth! In a sea of lies. lies crumble in the face of the truth, silencing the blatant liars and their lies! You go Girl! The sweet scent of truth. Excellent material! Notice the smugness of the journo who challenged Bartlett, knowing hes got the majority to back him. As we pick and parse our way through information day after day, have you noted how its becoming easier to tell when you are hearing the truth and when you are not? the axis of evil..USA, NATO, France, England, Australia, Germany ISRAEL Brave lady standing in the midst of compromised reporting. It is just the flicker of light in the deep darkness that gives one hope and I thank you The name of the journalist is Kristoffer Ronneberg and not Christopher Rothenberg. He is with the Aftenposten, Norway, Shame on him. Assad must have a very efficient underground railroad, which moves him to safe houses daily, otherwise we in the West would have been viewing Seal Team 6 delivering the OBL special delivery. This is scary when the main stream media shows what is totally opposite on the ground, i admire Eva Bartlett for standing what is true what a brave woman. Regarding this statement: Bartlett then addresses Rothenbergs second question first, by asking This is actually not true. The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is on the ground in Aleppo. The IRC was founded in 1933 as a world humanitarian organization by Dr. Albert Einstein. If you fact check the alleged comments that White Helmets are terrorists, you will find that the above statements in the article have no evidence, and that the White Hats have helped the victims of Aleppo based on other journalists reports at the locations under siege and considered more reliable. It concerns me that this journalist is only supplying hearsay from some of the people in Syria. Her report is highly favored by the Russians. She is so full of truth and so darling cute, an angel from heaven surely. It is easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled. Mark Twain. So awesome! I could watch this over and over and never get tired of it. 
3	Disinformation: How It WorksBrandon Smith, Contributor Propaganda was relatively straightforward. The lies were much simpler. The control of information flow was easily directed. Rules were enforced with the threat of property confiscation and execution for anyone who strayed from the rigid socio-political structure. Those who had theological, metaphysical or scientific information outside of the conventional and scripted collective world view were tortured and slaughtered. The elites kept the information to themselves, and removed its remnants from mainstream recognition, sometimes for centuries before it was rediscovered. With the advent of anti-feudalism, and most importantly the success of the American Revolution, elitists were no longer able to dominate information with the edge of a blade or the barrel of a gun. The establishment of Republics, with their philosophy of open government and rule by the people, compelled Aristocratic minorities to plot more subtle ways of obstructing the truth and thus maintaining their hold over the world without exposing themselves to retribution from the masses. Thus, the complex art of disinformation was born. The technique, the magic of the lie, was refined and perfected. The mechanics of the human mind and the human soul became an endless obsession for the establishment. In modern times, and with carefully engineered methods, this goal has for the most part been accomplished. However, these methods also have inherent weaknesses. Lies are fragile. They require constant attentiveness to keep them alive. The exposure of a single truth can rip through an ocean of lies, evaporating it instantly. In this article, we will examine the methods used to fertilize and promote the growth of disinformation, as well as how to identify the roots of disinformation and effectively cut them, starving out the entire system of fallacies once and for all. The mainstream media, once tasked with the job of investigating government corruption and keeping elitists in line, has now become nothing more than a public relations firm for corrupt officials and their Globalist handlers. The days of the legitimate investigative reporter are long gone (if they ever existed at all), and journalism itself has deteriorated into a rancid pool of so called TV Editorialists who treat their own baseless opinions as supported fact. The elitist co-opting of news has been going on in one form or another since the invention of the printing press. However, the first methods of media disinformation truly came to fruition under the supervision of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, who believed the truth was subjective and open to his personal interpretation. Some of the main tactics used by the mainstream media to mislead the masses are as follows: Lie Big, Retract Quietly: Mainstream media sources (especially newspapers) are notorious for reporting flagrantly dishonest and unsupported news stories on the front page, then quietly retracting those stories on the very back page when they are caught. In this case, the point is to railroad the lie into the collective consciousness. Once the lie is finally exposed, it is already too late, and a large portion of the population will not notice or care when the truth comes out. Unconfirmed Or Controlled Sources As Fact: Cable news venues often cite information from unnamed sources, government sources that have an obvious bias or agenda, or expert sources without providing an alternative expert view. The information provided by these sources is usually backed by nothing more than blind faith. Calculated Omission: Otherwise known as cherry picking data. One simple piece of information or root item of truth can derail an entire disinfo news story, so instead of trying to gloss over it, they simply pretend as if it doesnt exist. When the fact is omitted, the lie can appear entirely rational. This tactic is also used extensively when disinformation agents and crooked journalists engage in open debate. Distraction, And The Manufacture Of Relevance: Sometimes the truth wells up into the public awareness regardless of what the media does to bury it. When this occurs their only recourse is to attempt to change the publics focus and thereby distract them from the truth they were so close to grasping. The media accomplishes this by over-reporting on a subject that has nothing to do with the more important issues at hand. Ironically, the media can take an unimportant story, and by reporting on it ad nauseum, cause many Americans to assume that because the media wont shut-up about it, it must be important! Dishonest Debate Tactics: Sometimes, men who actually are concerned with the average Americans pursuit of honesty and legitimate fact-driven information break through and appear on T.V. However, rarely are they allowed to share their views or insights without having to fight through a wall of carefully crafted deceit and propaganda. Because the media know they will lose credibility if they do not allow guests with opposing viewpoints every once in a while, they set up and choreograph specialized T.V. debates in highly restrictive environments which put the guest on the defensive, and make it difficult for them to clearly convey their ideas or facts. TV pundits are often trained in what are commonly called Alinsky Tactics. Saul Alinsky was a moral relativist, and champion of the lie as a tool for the greater good; essentially, a modern day Machiavelli. His Rules for Radicals were supposedly meant for grassroots activists who opposed the establishment and emphasized the use of any means necessary to defeat ones political opposition. But is it truly possible to defeat an establishment built on lies, by use of even more elaborate lies, and by sacrificing ones ethics? In reality, his strategies are the perfect format for corrupt institutions and governments to dissuade dissent from the masses. Today, Alinskys rules are used more often by the establishment than by its opposition. Alinskys tactics have been adopted by governments and disinformation specialists across the world, but they are most visible in TV debate. While Alinsky sermonized about the need for confrontation in society, his debate tactics are actually designed to circumvent real and honest confrontation of opposing ideas with slippery tricks and diversions. Alinskys tactics, and their modern usage, can be summarized as follows: 1) Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have. We see this tactic in many forms. For example, projecting your own movement as mainstream, and your opponents as fringe. Convincing your opponent that his fight is a futile one. Your opposition may act differently, or even hesitate to act at all, based on their perception of your power. How often have we heard this line: The government has predator drones. There is nothing the people can do now This is a projection of exaggerated invincibility designed to elicit apathy from the masses. 2) Never go outside the experience of your people, and whenever possible, go outside of the experience of the enemy. Dont get drawn into a debate about a subject you do not know as well as or better than your opposition. If possible, draw them into such a situation instead. Go off on tangents. Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty in your opposition. This is commonly used against unwitting interviewees on cable news shows whose positions are set up to be skewered. The target is blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address. In television and radio, this also serves to waste broadcast time to prevent the target from expressing his own position. 3) Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. The objective is to target the opponents credibility and reputation by accusations of hypocrisy. If the tactician can catch his opponent in even the smallest misstep, it creates an opening for further attacks, and distracts away from the broader moral question. 4) Ridicule is mans most potent weapon. Ron Paul is a crackpot. Gold bugs are crazy. Constitutionalists are fringe extremists. Baseless ridicule is almost impossible to counter because it is meant to be irrational. It infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage. It also works as a pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. 5) A good tactic is one that your people enjoy. The popularization of the term Teabaggers is a classic example; it caught on by itself because people seem to think its clever, and enjoy saying it. Keeping your talking points simple and fun helps your side stay motivated, and helps your tactics spread autonomously, without instruction or encouragement. 6) A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. See rule No. 5. Dont become old news. If you keep your tactics fresh, its easier to keep your people active. Not all disinformation agents are paid. The useful idiots have to be motivated by other means. Mainstream disinformation often changes gear from one method to the next and then back again. 7) Keep the pressure on with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose. Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. Never give the target a chance to rest, regroup, recover or re-strategize. Take advantage of current events and twist their implications to support your position. Never let a good crisis go to waste. 8) The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself. This goes hand in hand with Rule No. 1. Perception is reality. Allow your opposition to expend all of its energy in expectation of an insurmountable scenario. The dire possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization. 9) The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. The objective of this pressure is to force the opposition to react and make the mistakes that are necessary for the ultimate success of the campaign. 10) If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside. As grassroots activism tools, Alinsky tactics have historically been used (for example, by labor movements or covert operations specialists) to force the opposition to react with violence against activists, which leads to popular sympathy for the activists cause. Today, false (or co-opted) grassroots movements and revolutions use this technique in debate as well as in planned street actions and rebellions (look at Syria for a recent example). 11) The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. Never let the enemy score points because youre caught without a solution to the problem. Today, this is often used offensively against legitimate activists, such as the opponents of the Federal Reserve. Complain that your opponent is merely pointing out the problems. Demand that they offer not just a solution, but THE solution. Obviously, no one person has the solution. When he fails to produce the miracle you requested, dismiss his entire argument and all the facts he has presented as pointless. 12) Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it. Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. The targets supporters will expose themselves. Go after individual people, not organizations or institutions. People hurt faster than institutions. The next time you view an MSM debate, watch the pundits carefully, you will likely see many if not all of the strategies above used on some unsuspecting individual attempting to tell the truth. Internet trolls, also known as paid posters or paid bloggers, are increasingly and openly being employed by private corporations as well governments, often for marketing purposes and for public relations (Obama is notorious for this practice). Internet trolling is indeed a fast growing industry. Trolls use a wide variety of strategies, some of which are unique to the internet, here are just a few: 1. Make outrageous comments designed to distract or frustrate: An Alinsky tactic used to make people emotional, although less effective because of the impersonal nature of the Web. 2. Pose as a supporter of the truth, then make comments that discredit the movement: We have seen this even on our own forums trolls pose as supporters of the Liberty Movement, then post long, incoherent diatribes so as to appear either racist or insane. The key to this tactic is to make references to common Liberty Movement arguments while at the same time babbling nonsense, so as to make those otherwise valid arguments seem ludicrous by association. In extreme cases, these Trojan Horse Trolls have been known to make posts which incite violence a technique obviously intended to solidify the false assertions of the think tank propagandists like the SPLC, which purports that Constitutionalists should be feared as potential domestic terrorists. 3. Dominate Discussions: Trolls often interject themselves into productive Web discussions in order to throw them off course and frustrate the people involved. 4. Prewritten Responses: Many trolls are supplied with a list or database with pre-planned talking points designed as generalized and deceptive responses to honest arguments. When they post, their words feel strangely plastic and well rehearsed. 5. False Association: This works hand in hand with item No. 2, by invoking the stereotypes established by the Trojan Horse Troll. For example: calling those against the Federal Reserve conspiracy theorists or lunatics; deliberately associating anti-globalist movements with racists and homegrown terrorists, because of the inherent negative connotations; and using false associations to provoke biases and dissuade people from examining the evidence objectively. 6. False Moderation: Pretending to be the voice of reason in an argument with obvious and defined sides in an attempt to move people away from what is clearly true into a grey area where the truth becomes relative. 7. Straw Man Arguments: A very common technique. The troll will accuse his opposition of subscribing to a certain point of view, even if he does not, and then attacks that point of view. Or, the troll will put words in the mouth of his opposition, and then rebut those specific words. Sometimes, these strategies are used by average people with serious personality issues. However, if you see someone using these tactics often, or using many of them at the same time, you may be dealing with a paid internet troll. The best way to disarm disinformation agents is to know their methods inside and out. This gives us the ability to point out exactly what they are doing in detail the moment they try to do it. Immediately exposing a disinformation tactic as it is being used is highly destructive to the person utilizing it. It makes them look foolish, dishonest and weak for even making the attempt. Internet trolls most especially do not know how to handle their methods being deconstructed right in front of their eyes and usually fold and run from debate when it occurs. The truth is precious. It is sad that there are so many in our society who have lost respect for it; people who have traded in their conscience and their soul for temporary financial comfort while sacrificing the stability and balance of the rest of the country in the process. The human psyche breathes on the air of truth. Without it, humanity cannot survive. Without it, the species will collapse, starving from lack of intellectual and emotional sustenance. Disinformation does not only threaten our insight into the workings of our world; it makes us vulnerable to fear, misunderstanding, and doubt: all things that lead to destruction. It can drive good people to commit terrible atrocities against others, or even against themselves. Without a concerted and organized effort to diffuse mass-produced lies, the future will look bleak indeed.

1	Local grandmother Eileen Stafford, 78, expressed concern Monday over the number of dinner rolls she should have on hand for this year's Thanksgiving meal, appearing distressed when discussing the implications of there being either too many or possibly too few. Eileen Stafford On a recent trip to the supermarket, Stafford reportedly purchased a package of 12 enriched white dinner rolls that was on sale for $1.89, and has since remained torn over whether a second package is necessary. 'They're a little small, and I don't want anyone to go hungry,' said Stafford, carefully removing the rolls from the grocery bag to examine them more closely. 'Of course, I can always give mine away if there's someone who doesn't get enough.' Added Stafford, 'I don't have to have any rolls.' The elderly grandmother of four told reporters that, while she would hate for anything to go to waste, she would be equally upset if one of her guests reached into her wicker basket and found nothing but crumbs. 'Bill usually has two, even though he really shouldn't,' said Stafford, referring to her son-in-law, whose above-average appetite she must always take into consideration when planning family meals. 'And [daughter] Sheila's on that diet where they don't eat any bread.' Despite her insistence that she really doesn't want to bother anyone about anything, Stafford admitted that in the past week she has contacted several family members on multiple occasions to get an idea of how much company might be coming over. An offer by Stafford's son to make an emergency supermarket trip if the rolls run out has done little to calm her fears. Pacing nervously in her kitchen, the small septuagenarian admitted that, even if she were to acquire an accurate estimate of those planning to attend, the number still could increase or decrease dramatically without any notice. 'Sandy doesn't make it home for holidays much since the divorce, but you never know,' Stafford said of her youngest son. 'And [grandson] Dennis sometimes gets called into work at the last minute, because he is a very good doctor and people trust him and rely on him. Still, it would be a real shame if that happened five Thanksgivings in a row.' As a precautionary measure, Stafford has made several trips to nearby grocery stores to ensure that suitable dinner rolls are still available should a need for them arise in the coming days. If an emergency leaves her with no time to purchase an additional package, Stafford said she is prepared to defrost the hot dog buns in her freezer, a surplus from her upsetting overestimate of the turnout for this year's Memorial Day picnic. According to a longtime friend who spoke with Stafford at church Sunday morning, the grandmother became flustered when discussing the possibility of someone bringing a girlfriend or boyfriend unannounced. Stafford, who lives alone in the house where she and her late husband raised their children, also said that she fears failure to serve her guests an appropriate amount of food might result in family members deciding to host next year's Thanksgiving festivities at one of their own homes instead. 'Grandma gets so worked up about the littlest stuff,' said Amy Joyner, Stafford's granddaughter. 'She's been calling me a couple times a day to update me on her dinner preparations and ask if I know about a better sale on sweet potatoes near us.' Joyner said since her grandfather Walter Stafford passed away in 2005, the holidays have made her grandmother uneasy because she worries that no one will be able to carve the turkey into 'nice-sized' pieces the way Grandpa used to. 'It's always, 'Oh, no, that's not how Walter used to carve ityou should really carve it thicker, like your father would,'' said eldest son Michael Stafford, who has taken over many of the patriarchal duties in recent years. 'It's just a turkey, for Christ's sake, and Dad isn't the one carving it anymore. I am. I'm the one carving the damn turkey now.' In addition to her roll-related anxieties, family sources reported that Stafford still has not decided whether to serve frozen or canned corn. 
2	Angelina Jolie Publicly Defies Obama When She Does THIS To Him Angelina Jolie is probably known equally for her humanitarian efforts and her career as a movie star. Her husband, Brad Pitt, has also been a vocal advocate of the Democratic Party, and is an avid supporter of President Obama. It appears that respect for the president is where the couple does not see eye to eye. Angie isnt Republican, but she thinks Obama is all smoke and mirrors, one source close to Jolie told reporters. She hates him. Shes into education and rehabilitation and thinks Obama is all welfare and handouts. She thinks Obama is really a socialist in disguise. The refreshing thing about Angelina Jolie is that she has managed to keep a head on her shoulders, despite the chaotic propaganda of Hollywood. What do you think? Should Angelina be speaking out on her opinions, or would her career be ruined? 
3	A Junk Decision on Warrantless DNA CollectionHanni Fakhoury Jennifer Lynch The court was reviewing the constitutionality of Marylands practice of collecting DNA from all arrestees without a search warrant or any individualized suspicion that the DNA will lead to evidence of a crime. Maryland is not alone in this practice; 28 states and the federal government all do the same thing. Once law enforcement has a DNA sample, its sent to a lab to extract a portion of the sample, called a DNA profile. The lab then sends that profile to an FBI-maintained database called CODIS to be compared against other profiles from genetic material left at crime scenes with the hope of solving a cold case. Thats what happened to King, who was arrested for assault and, upon arrest, had his DNA collected. As the assault case worked its way through the criminal justice system, Kings DNA profile ultimately linked him to an earlier, unsolved rape. King was charged and convicted of that crime and sentenced to life in prison. Theres no question that collecting DNA is a search under the Fourth Amendment and so ultimately the case boiled down to the purpose for which the DNA was being collected. In the past, the Court has never allowed suspicionless searches for mere investigative, crime-solving purposes because this is the key problem the Fourth Amendment was written to protect against. The Court has only allowed suspicionless searches in limited special needs cases where the search is for a purpose other than crime investigation, such as at a border or a sobriety checkpoint. Over the the last two years, weve argued to courts throughout the countryincluding filing an amicus brief with the Supreme Court in Kingthat warrantless DNA collection from arrestees is unconstitutional because collecting, analyzing and searching their DNA only serves a law enforcement investigative purpose to solve cold cases, and thus doesnt fall under any of the special needs exceptions. Unfortunately Justice Kennedys majority opinion didnt see it that way. In finding DNA collection from arrestees to be constitutional, the Court relied on two faulty premises. Then the majority found the purpose of the search was identificationensuring the police arrested the right personand to determine the persons prior criminal history to help a court make a correct bail determination. In doing so, the majority found collecting DNA was no different than taking an arrestees photograph or fingerprint. But this reasoning is wrong for two reasons. First, DNA tells far more about a person than a mere picture or fingerprint. Instead, it provides police with a persons entire genetic makeup. And even when the DNA sample is reduced to the non-coding DNA profile entered into CODIS, that profile can tell who youre related to and who youre not. Second, in Maryland, like all other jurisdictions that collect DNA from arrestees, theres no way DNA could be used to identify anyone (in the ordinary definition of identifywhich means to indicate conclusively who that person is) or to affect a bail determination from the simple fact that DNA testing takes too long and just doesnt work that way. DNA testing cant begin until after arraignment, a court proceeding when the defendant is informed of the formal charges against him and which usually takes place after his initial appearance in court, which is where bail determinations are typically made. And because of the vast amount of DNA collected by the police, coupled with the backlog in testing and the current capabilities of technology, the DNA samples sit in storage for months before they are actually tested. Finally, as Justice Scalia notes in his dissent, even once the profile is extracted, its never compared against the offender databaseonly against the database of cold hits. So the real way Mr. King was identified waslike most other suspects todaywith his fingerprint. Justice Kennedy responds by noting the question of how long it takes to process identifying information obtained from a valid search goes only to the efficacy of the search for its purpose of prompt identification, not the constitutionality of the search. But that misses the point. Determining the reasonableness of a search under the Fourth Amendment depends on whether the search is reasonably related in scope to the circumstances that justify the search initially. That in turn has to hinge on what the search can potentially reveal. Requiring a person to turn over their entire genome for the purpose of identificationa dubious proposition in and of itselfis overkill of constitutional magnitude. And by conflating identification with investigation, the Court does just that. Most troublesome, it has no limits. While the majority attempts to cabin this collection for serious offenses, there is no constitutional difference between a minor and serious offense. The result is that getting arrested for anything even driving without a seat belt could lead to your DNA being collected. And with studies indicating that one in three Americans will be arrested by the time they are 23, this decision will impact a a very large proportion of the American population, and, due to racial profiling endemic in policing, will once again disproportionately affect minorities. The rise of Rapid DNA analyzers makes the problem even worse, because it makes DNA searches at station houses and in cop cars easier, regardless of whether charges are ever filed at all. The limitless potential of allowing this type of search goes beyond the number of people affected. When a person is arrested, should their email accounts be turned over too? How about the data on their cell phones? Surely this would help identify a person for bail purposes, particularly in light of Justice Kennedys expansive definition of identity to cover examination of the whole context of who the person really is. The decision is even more troubling when you focus on the real investigative purpose of DNA collection. Of course solving crimes is a noble goal, but it bears remembering that arrestees are presumed innocent. If the mere purpose of solving crimes is enough to justify this warrantless intrusion into a persons genetic makeup, what is to stop the law enforcement from collecting DNA from everyone? Why not just collect it from babies at birth or people applying for a drivers license? Ultimately, in Maryland v. King, the Supreme Court effectively killed Fourth Amendment protections for the most vulnerable members of society. Kings DNA could have been collected after his conviction on the assault charge, as every state and the federal government also collects DNA from convicted felons. But by authorizing warrantless DNA collection from arrestees, as Justice Scalia noted the majority managed to to burden uniquely the sole group for whom the Fourth Amendments protections ought to be most jealously guarded: people who are innocent of the States accusations. And while the majority hints at some limitations to the governments ability to collect DNA, the expansion of DNA collection over the last ten years (not to mention other forms of invasive evidence gathering) suggests these limitations will become meaningless without vigilant judicial supervision. The Supreme Court shrank from that responsibility with its decision and our Fourth Amendments protections are worse off as a result.

1	Looking out at a sea of expectant faces, new father Dan Rudloff commemorated the birth of his daughter, Elizabeth, by holding the small, vulnerable child in his arms and blurting out a series of lies and half-truths about how happy he was at that moment. New father Dan Rudloff tries to express joy while realizing he will never ever be able to get that boat. 'Oh my God,' said Rudloff, staring down at the squalling, vernix-covered infant who will depend on him for everything from eating, to bathing, to keeping her head upright. 'She's beautiful.' Realizing he was now forever tethered to this utterly helpless new life, responsible for its shelter, upbringing, education, safety, and all related expenses for the next 18or, perhaps more accurately, 25years, Rudloff rattled off a series of patently false pleasantries about being overjoyed with his new baby girl. The 32-year-old property manager even managed to form his lips into the strained approximation of a smile, despite suffering through near-constant visions of dropping the fragile baby or accidentally squishing her delicate internal organs with his clumsy, brutish hands. According to onlookers, Rudloff took the resulting lull in conversation as an opportunity to shift his gaze from his wailing progeny and stare into his wife's opiate-sedated eyes, at which point the two shared the knowing glance that comes only with the realization that your days of selfish solitude, unrestrained drinking, sleeping in until noon, and enjoying any semblance of independence are now forever gone. After taking several deep breaths to maintain his composure, Rudloff came up with another sentiment he thought was expected of him 'This is the greatest day of my life,' Rudloff said in an apparent attempt to convince friends and family of his delight so he could sit down, drink a glass of water, and gather his thoughts. 'I've never been happier.' In fact, records indicate the new father had been happier on several occasions in the past month alone, usually following a satisfying meal. Records also suggest the greatest day of his life actually involved a particularly fun round of miniature golf that ended with the coital act that resulted in the child he was now holding. Nevertheless, Rudloff continued to grasp for more happy words to conceal his trepidation at not being able to casually leave the house for the next 13 years without making provisions for his daughter. 'This is so,' said Rudloff, thinking 'nightmarish nightmarish nightmarish' as tears began to well in his eyes. 'I never thought this day would actually come. I'mI'm speechless.' Thus fulfilling the first of thousands upon thousands of new fatherly obligations, Rudloff posed for a picture. Though not a habitual liar, Rudloff has skirted the truth to meet social expectations on previous occasions. Late last year, he expressed gratitude to his mother-in-law after receiving a Scottish sweater for Christmas; and from the ages of 14 to 16, he feigned an interest in playing JV football. After estimating that he had held her for an adequate amount of time, Rudloff quickly scanned the room to find a suitable candidate to whom he could relinquish control of the infant before he completely lost it right there in front of everyone he knew. 'I can't imagine doing anything greater than this with my life,' said the hapless father, hoping against hope that his daughter would not retain the memory of his trembling arms and grow to resent him, leaving home at 15 to cover her body in tattoos and piercings and hitchhike around the country, bedding any random trucker whose arms would give her the feeling of protection she never received from her worthless dad. 'Here you go, honey.' Satisfied with his masquerade of cheerfulness, Rudloff gingerly handed the infant back to his wife. 'I'm so proud of you,' Dana Rudloff said while thinking about an old college boyfriend she broke up with who went on to become a successful software designer. 'You'll make a great father.' 
2	102 Year Old Veteran Warns America During Controversy Around Recent Attacks 102-year old United States Navy Veteran Jim Downing has come forward with a message for America, and its definitely worth hearing. Downing says he remembers the Pearl Harbor attack 74 years ago as if were yesterday. The very next day, he remembers President Roosevelt addressing the American public to announce that we were declaring war on Japan. Weakness invites aggression, Downing recently wrote. Remember Pearl Harbor. Keep America strong. Of course, Downing is referring to the problem we are seeing under leadership like Obama, who recently took to television saying that Americans were afraid. Conservatives quickly responded that Americans are not fearful, they are frustrated at Obamas inability to identify the enemy. Denying that Islam is a threat is not helping us keep our country safe. Thank you to Downing for reminding us the value in identifying threats and quickly taking action. ISIS needs to know that you cant mess with America. 
3	The Collapsing US Economy and the End of the WorldPaul Craig Roberts Washington has been at war since October, 2001, when President George W. Bush concocted an excuse to order the US invasion of Afghanistan. This war took a back seat when Bush concocted another excuse to order the invasion of Iraq in 2003, a war that went on without significant success for 8 years and has left Iraq in chaos with dozens more killed and wounded every day, a new strong man in place of the illegally executed former strongman, and the likelihood of the ongoing violence becoming civil war. Upon his election, President Obama foolishly sent more troops to Afghanistan and renewed the intensity of that war, now in its eleventh year, to no successful effect. These two wars have been expensive. According to estimates by Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes, when all costs are counted the Iraq invasion cost US taxpayers $3 trillion dollars. Ditto for the Afghan war. In other words, the two gratuitous wars doubled the US public debt. This is the reason there is no money for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, the environment, and the social safety net.Americans got nothing out of the wars, but as the war debt will never be paid off, US citizens and their descendants will have to pay interest on $6,000 billion of war debt in perpetuity. Not content with these wars, the Bush/Obama regime is conducting military operations in violation of international law in Pakistan, Yemen, and Africa, organized the overthrow by armed conflict of the government in Libya, is currently working to overthrow the Syrian government, and continues to marshall military forces against Iran. In Thailand Washington is attempting to purchase with the usual bribes an air base used in the Vietnam war. There is opposition as the country does not wish to be drawn into Washingtons orchestrated conflict with China. Downplaying the real reason for the airbase, Washington, according to Thai newspapers, told the Thai government that the base was needed for humanitarian missions. This didnt fly, so Washington had NASA ask for the air base in order to conduct weather experiments. Whether this ruse is sufficient cover remains to be seen. US Marines have been sent to Australia and elsewhere in Asia. To corral China and Russia (and Iran) is a massive undertaking for a country that is financially busted. With wars and bankster bailouts, Bush and Obama have doubled the US national debt while failing to address the disintegration of the US economy and rising hardships of US citizens. The charts below are courtesy of www.shadowstats.com According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in 2011 was only 1 million more than in 2002. As it takes about 150,000 new jobs each month to stay even with population growth, that leaves a decade long job deficit of 15 million jobs. The US unemployment and inflation rates are far higher than reported. In previous columns I have explained, based on statistician John Williams work (shadowstats.com), the reasons that the governments headline numbers are serious understatements. The headline (U3) unemployment rate of 8.2% counts no discouraged workers who have given up on finding a job. The government has a second unemployment rate (U6), seldom reported, which includes short-term discouraged workers. That rate is 15%. When the long-term discouraged workers are added in, the current US unemployment rate is 22%, a number closer to the unemployment rate of the Great Depression than to the unemployment rates of postwar recessions. Currently, the substitution-based rate of inflation is about 2%. However, when inflation is measured as the actual cost of living, the rate of inflation is 5%. The Misery Index is the sum of the inflation and unemployment rates. The level of the current Misery Index depends on whether the new rigged measures are used, which understate the misery, or the former methodology that accurately measures it. Prior to the November 1980 election, the Misery Index hit 22%, which was one reason for Reagans victory over President Carter. Today if we use previous methodology, the Misery Index stands at 27%. But if we use the new rigged methodology, the Misery Index is 10%. The understatement of inflation serves to boost Gross Domestic Product (GDP). GDP is calculated in current dollars. To be able to determine whether GDP rose because of price rises or because of increases in real output, GDP is deflated by the CPI. The higher the inflation rate, the less the growth in real output and vice versa. When the substitution based methodology is used to measure inflation, the US economy experienced real growth in the 21st century except for the sharp dip during 2008-2010. However, if the cost-of-living based methodology is used, except for a short period during 2004, the US economy has experienced no real growth since 2000. In the chart above,the lower measure (blue) of real GDP is deflated with the inflation methodology that measured cost-of-living. The higher GDP measure (red) deflates GDP with the new substitution based methodology. The lack of employment and real GDP growth go together with the decline in real household median income. The growth in consumer debt substituted for the lack ofincome growth and kept the economy going until consumers exhausted their ability to take on more debt. With the consumer dead in the water, the outlook for economic recovery is poor. The Federal Reserve has interest rates so low that retirees and others living on their savings can earn nothing on their money. The interest rates paid on bank CDs and government and corporate bonds are lower than the rate of inflation. To live on interest income, a person has to purchase Greek, Spanish, or Italian bonds and run the risk of capital loss. The Federal Reserves policy of negative interest rates forces retirees to spend down their capital in order to live. In other words, the Feds policy is destroying personal savings as people are forced to spend their capital in order to cover living expenses. In June the Federal Reserve announced that it was going to continue its policy of driving nominal interest rates even lower, this time focusing on long-term Treasury bonds. The Fed said it would be purchasing $400 billion of the Treasurys 30-year bonds. Driving interest rates down means driving bond prices up. With 5-year Treasury bonds paying only seven-tenths of one percent and 10-year Treasuries paying only 1.6%, below even the official rate of inflation, Americans desperate for yield move into 30-year bonds currently paying 2.7%. However, the the high bond prices mean that the risk of capital loss is very high. The Feds debt monetization, or a drop in the exchange value of the dollar as other countries move away from its use to settle their balance of payments, could set off inflation that would take interest rates out of the Feds control. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall. In other words, bonds are now the bubble that real estate, stocks, and derivatives were. When this bubble pops, Americans will take another big hit to their remaining wealth. It makes no sense to invest in long-term bonds at negative interest rates when the federal government is piling up debt that the Federal Reserve is monetizing and when other countries are moving away from the flood of dollars. The potential for a rising rate of inflation is high from debt monetization and from a drop in the dollars exchange value. Yet, bond fund portfolio managers have to follow the herd into longer term maturities or see their performance relative to their peers drop to the bottom of the rankings. Some individual investors and foreign central banks, anticipating the dollars loss of value, are accumulating gold and silver bullion. Realizing the danger to the dollar and its policy from the rapid rise in the price of bullion during 2011, the Federal Reserve has arranged offsetting action. When the demand for physical bullion drives up the price, short sales of bullion in the paper market are used to drive the price back down. Similarly, when investors begin to flee Treasuries, thus causing interest rates to rise, J.P. Morgan and other dependencies of the Federal Reserve sell interest-rate swaps, thus offsetting the effect on interest rates of the bond sales. (Keep in mind that interest rates rise when bond prices fall and vice versa.) The point of all this information is to establish that except for the 1 percent, the incomes and wealth of Americans are being cut back across the board. From 2002 through 2011 the economy lost 3.5 million manufacturing jobs. These jobs were replaced with lower-paying waitress and bartender jobs (1,189,000), ambulatory health care service jobs (1,512,000) and social assistance jobs (578,000). These replacement jobs in domestic services mean that on a net basis US consumer income was moved out of the country. Potential aggregate demand in the US dropped by the differences in pay in the job categories. Clearly and unambiguously, jobs offshoring lowered US disposable income and US GDP and, thereby, employment. Despite the lack of an economic base, Washingtons hegemonic aspirations continue unabated. Other countries are amused at Washingtons unawareness. Russia, China, India, Brazil, and South Africa are forming an agreement to abandon the US dollar as the currency for international settlement between themselves. On July 4 the China Daily reported: Japanese politicians and prominent academics from China and Japan urged Tokyo on Tuesday to abandon its outdated foreign policy of leaning on the West and accept China as a key partner as important as the United States. The Tokyo Consensus, a joint statement issued at the end of the Beijing-Tokyo Forum, also called on both countries to expand trade and promote a free-trade agreement for China, Japan and South Korea. This means that Japan is in play. The Chinese government, more intelligent than Washington, is responding to Washingtons military threats by enticing away Washingtons two key Asian allies. As the Chinese economy is now as large as the US and on far firmer footing, and as Japan now has more trade with China than with the US, the enticement is appealing. Moreover, China is next door, and Washington is distant and drowning in its hubris. Washington, which flicked its middle finger to international law and to its own law and Constitution with its arrogance and gratuitous and illegal wars and with its assertion of the right to murder its own citizens and those of its allies, such as Pakistan, has made the United States a pariah state. Washington still controls its bought-and-paid-for NATO puppets, but these puppet states are overwhelmed with derivative debt problems brought to them by Wall Street and by sovereign debt problems, some of which were covered up by Wall Streets Goldman Sachs. Europe is on the ropes and has no money with which to subsidize Washingtons wars of hegemony. Washington is becoming an isolated and despised element of the world community. Washington has purchased Europe, Canada, Australia, the former Soviet state of Georgia (and almost Ukraine), and Columbia, and continues its effort to purchase the entire world, but sentiment is turning against the rising Gestapo state that has shown itself to be lawless, ruthless, and indifferent, even hostile, to human life and human rights. A government, whose military was unable with the help of the UK to occupy Iraq after eight years and was forced to end the conflict by putting the insurgents on the US military payroll and to pay them to stop killing American troops, and a government whose military has been unable to subdue a few thousand lightly armed Taliban after 11 years, is over the top when it organizes war against Iran, Russia, and China. The only prospect Washington has of prevailing in such an undertaking is first use of nuclear weapons, of catching its demonized opponents off guard by nuking them out of the blue. In other words, by the elimination of life on earth. Is this Washingtons program revealed by the neoconservative warmonger, Bill Kristol, who had no shame to ask publicly: Whats the good of nuclear weapons if you cant use them?

2	Disrespectful Thugs Try To Ruin Marines Funeral, Until These Patriotic Bikers Showed Up [VIDEO] The image of bikers in America is slowly shifting, as thousands of bikers ride each year to honor our fallen warriors on Memorial Day. Rolling Thunder is a non-profit organization with over 90 chapters in the United States and members are primarily veterans who ride motorcycles. They are a picture of patriotism in this country. While the Rolling Thunder dominates the press, there are also other groups that step up. Take the Patriot Guard, for instance, who stepped up when protestors attempted to ruin a fallen Marines funeral. The bikers shielded the grieving family from the chaos. The Westboro Baptist Church has been misguided in showing their hatred toward our countrys lack of moral by protesting the funerals of Americas fallen men and women of service. Thankfully, the Patriot Guard has made it their personal mission to protect these ceremonies. Bikers by the hundreds go to the funerals to form a shield between protestors and families. 
3	10 Freest States For HomeschoolingEric Blair Unfortunately, because of mis-education many believe the State is responsible for educating our children. This is not the same thing as the State being responsible for providing an option for education. Rather many presume that the State has the authority to force their version of education on parents and their children. If your answer is that parents have the responsibility to provide education, then we can safely assume that we have the right to homeschool our own children, yes? Several industrialized nations wherehomeschooling is outlawed say no. And although most Americans would say we should have that right, they overwhelmingly demand oversight by the State to ensure this right is not abused. Now were back to the question of responsibility. Is it the governmentsrole to make sure every child is learning the same things even if they arent in the public system? According to the Constitution, the governments role is to protect our rights and liberties above all else. But what if parents keep their kids home and dont teach them anything that is taught in schools? I say who cares if its the right and responsibility of the parents. Its not as if the public system has proven to be perfect either. Far from it. Isnt that child abuse tounschool? Well, it goes both ways. Isnt locking up children all day in a room, child abuse? Isnt forcing them to learn an obsolete curriculum, child abuse? Isnt forcing them to wear RFID tracking devices, abuse? And so on. As we can see, its all a matter of perception. Fortunately, homeschooling is legal in all 50 states. Yet, since education is regulated by the states, requirements vary dramatically from state to state forhomeschoolers. The difference ranges from complete freedom with no requirements to forced curriculum and achievement tests. Here is a map of which states fall into each category: States requiring no notice States with low regulation States with moderate regulation State with high regulation The 10 freest states for homeschooling are in green and listed below: People homeschool their children for many different reasons and they should have the right to opt out of any standardized curriculum. Unfortunately this is not the case in most states. But for those who are interested in homeschooling with the ultimate freedom to unschool if they choose, the ten states above are your best locations. Where do you homeschool and what has your experience been? Read more articles by Eric Blair here This is actually a very thoughtful response, thank-you. My parents did this to me and just know that you are wrong. If your daughter doesnt clone out from the abuse then she will hate you for the rest of her life. When they are old enough to properly understand, teach them sex ed. As an adult I was clueless and I was raped and impregnated.. now I will pay the price of ignorance for the rest of my life. Each state has different requirements. In Florida, there are no parental requirements for teaching. In Washington, however, you need to have a certain amount of college credit hours and if you dont, you need to take a special home educator course. HSLDA has a great resource with a legal analysis of each states homeschooling laws. I see some of the kids who are stuck in public schools 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and they can barely even spell. I think that many homeschool parents are worried about the indoctrination that their children are getting at school. Check out the article on infowars about how our govt is saying that we must be careful as our children could be terrorists. No kidding! The government controls the school curriculum. For excellent reading (its more like a book of prophecy), check out The Rockefeller File by Gary Allen. What he wrote about in the 1970s has come true. His writing about education is eye opening to say the least. Public school comes closer to Chinese re-education classes than much else out there. Notice how many public school teachers abuse children? Theres plenty of abuse going on in homes where kids are in public school. Why do you think bullies do what they do? Many times its because they are being abused. I went to school back in the day when things were not too bad yet. Still tons of teachers beating and molesting kids It is no wonder there are shootings now through Your post doesnt seem uneducated to me. Has your life really suffered as a result of your parents decision? Success in spite of bad parenting is not the same win, nor likely to the same extent, as success with good parenting. Indeed home schooling for some is a way to mask exploitation and abuse, homeschooling by itself is not the problem. Plenty of abused and exploited children make it through public schools without ever being identified, helped or even educated. There are far more children suffering from educational neglect and abuse either at the hands of their parents, or the educators and peers in school than there are children who are being abused and neglected at home with an unsupervised home school. Public schools used to do a better job of educating children in basic knowledge. Now public schools educate children in a lot of things that have nothing to do with useful knowledge and most of it is destructive. The reason why home schooling parents dont want the government oversight is because the government is great at getting a little, innocuous hook in at first, and then using that to increase their power and control over time, making it a system of their dysfunctional design, like they have done to public schools. Public schools used to work better because they were controlled by local government. But once the federal government got involved, sometimes for good reasons like desegregation, the result has been ever increasing federal controls and decreasing quality. The same can be expected of government control over home school. I have been a programmer, writer, teacher and social worker in my various careers. Teaching opened my eyes to how bad public education has become. I naively sent my eldest child to public school, not understanding why she wasnt learning the basics until I became a teacher, but she was learning a lot of troubling values that werent being taught at home. Being a social worker shows me how utterly incompetent the government is at protecting the weakest among us, and how politicized, ineffective and invasive the whole system is. The bureaucrats are the only benefactors. The children and dependent adults are re-victimized by getting lost in a tangled system. So I am sad to hear of your abusive parents, but even more sad to say public school and government oversight would have likely made your problems worse, not better. A last point, you probably learned as much as most public school children with your parents infrequent, indirect education. I am learning the hard way that my home schooled child learns more with less effort on my part than the teacher in me thinks possible. If children have no resources to learn from, then chances are they will suffer from educational neglect. But even just basic teaching of reading, writing and arithmetic gives children the tools they need to learn whatever they want or are able. Furthermore, those three basics can be taught in just a couple of years with short applications of effort. The rest is up to the childs curiosity and ability to retain what they learn. I have sat in the same class as many other children and learned things that they insisted they were never taught. I have seen the same thing happen to my students in public school. There is a lot of wasted time in public school that kids could be using doing things more useful to their families and society. You may have learned more than you realize and benefited more than you understand. I bet you have a solid work ethic and know how to take care of your basic needs in ways many adults spend their 20s and 30s figuring out. I know that there is no perfect answer to this. But I believe that many more kids would be better off home schooled than public schooled, and many more families would benefit from the experience. Society as whole is suffering greatly with the current education crisis. Our prisons are used to deal with the short comings of our government controlled public schools. Its been 2 years since you posted this. Can you update on the homeschooling situation in Scotland? Same thing. Just need to inform the state school YOU ARE SICK IN THE HEAD. YOU MUST BE A DEMOCRAT ( AMERICAN ). LEAVE THESE WOMEN ALONE. ITS NOT OUR FAULT, YOUR MOM WAS LAZY AND NOT EDUCATED AT ALL. YOU ( GABRIELLE AMYX ) AMERICAN WOMEN MAKES ME SICK. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. RAISE YOUR OWN YOUR OWN LITTLE BRATS. THE LAST TIME I REMEMBER MY MOM GAVE BIRTH TO ME. I OWN MYSELF, NO OTHER HUMAN IN THE USA. IM VERY SUSPICIOUS OF YOU. YOU ARE TROUBLE. How do you take your child out of the school system without a note? Do you just tell your child Hey, youre not going to school anymore..? Yep! We are moving to Texas and homeschool our 3 children. I researched different homeschool co-ops and organizations and was very pleased to see a very well organized Football/Cheer league. There are also well organized homeschool sports leagues around the state. I know your comment is a year old but I agree with you. I have lived in WV most of my life and have been homeschooling since 1999. No matter what the laws are the BOEs still harass homeschoolers and ask for more that what is required by law. Just today Gov. Tomblin vetoed two homeschool bills that would have made it easier. I want to move this is really frustrating. I work in a school where children have come in and have been home-schooled and they know nothing. Im not saying that all parents are not teaching their children, however there are many who arent educating their children. There should be some guidelines. At least a high school diploma or GED. We have parents that are illiterate that are home schooling. Who suffers? The child. By the way you sound, it looks like your parents did a pretty good job anyway. Wisconsin is homeschool friendly. I have to fill out a small question air and turn it in by October 15th every year but thats it. We homeschool our granddaughter who has autism and had an IEP. She blossomed when we pulled her out of school. Shes 7 and is doing much better acedemically at home- not to mention emotionally. Forcing children into social situations with children they did not choose to socialize with can cause anxiety. This was the case with my granddaughter Questionnaire Gabrielle Amyx, you are wrong in your premise. Freedom to educate and raise your children is a natural, God-given right. and it must be protected at all costs. The problem with the STATE is that they will change laws, take away freedoms, incroach on lives, ruin families, kidnap children, etc, ALL BECAUSE OF 1 TRAGEDY or similar. They love to make SWEEPING LAWS for the 1% tragedy, but in a free society, tragedies happen. they happen everywhere. Lastly, you sound like a troll. you blabbing about childrens rights IS NOTHING BUT A PLOY TO TAKE AWAY PARENTS RIGHTS and that is DISGUSTING. you are leaning towards marxism. You sound like a UN Convention on the Rights of the Child apologist. People need to know this: Bad things happen to all societies and peoples. Governments LOVE to make persecutorial laws for the 1% situation when those tragedies happen (COMMON TACTIC OF LEFTIST MARXIST GOVERNMENT: change laws on the heels of tragedies, false flags). I am sorry if you didnt get a great education, but CELEBRATE LIBERTY for the rest of America, dont try to take it away from them. Parents care the most for their children, FAR AND AWAY. if you are a troll, get lost. if youre not, LEARN LIBERTY. LIBERTY NEVER WANTS a government oppressor coming between them and their precious children. Too bad the downside is living in Idaho. Idaho is nice. I am a homeschooler of 4 kids, and an avid supporter of it. However, I was homeschooled, and every college I have ever applied to said my diploma was fake and will not accept me I even went out and got a GED, which is not supposed to be required under law, and still cannot get into college! Now I am so old, it is too late Colleges have no incentive to illegally accuse you of a false crime, when they could spend a little extra time and convert you into a paying customer. Also, its never too late to apply for college. Youre either lazy, dumb, or a liar. Pick one. I read that this also happened to a homeschooled student and HSLDA will write a letter to your college and put them in their place. They know your rights and will notify the college so they can accept you as a student. Are you only applying to Ivy League, private, or highly selective public universities? In my experience, community colleges and state schools accept GED with no problems. I even know someone that got a full ride for a year to a community college because of a high score on the GED. The article is claiming that a GED is not required. But it is true. I have a GED as well, with maxed out scores, becasue the test was stupid. No community college accepts a High School Diploma from a fake home school. They also do not accept a GED. I have applied at hundreds of crappy, bottom-level community colleges. All denied. In case you did not know this, colleges do not use fake diplomas and GEDs. They want a REAL high school diploma, SATs and ACTs. You are not even allowed to get a HS diploma after the age of 21, and I think the cutoff for SATs and ACTs is 25. Maybe lower. How do you graduate college if you are illiterate??? How does one get a teaching license without testing? I know it is an old post, but Kentucky is not too bad. Not free enough for us though Way too many rules for us! That is VERY hard and restrictive! Oh God the horror! There are still people that WELD today! My goodness! lolol Better than my job. I have a PhD in Linguistics and make $200 a month. Who needs to make six digits? That is the public school thinking that is unhealthy. Way too many restrictions and rules for us! The free States are MUCH better. I do not believe in unschooling, at least not for us, but I like my Freedom! You could be arrested and have your kids taken away. I grew up in NY and love it! Best crappy State in America! All my kids were born there. But I can never bring my kids there again In defense of mandatory schooling, NY is among the most educated in the nation. But screw forced brainwashing and child abuse. Most of my education has been public school with a little bit of private school and some technical college and university. I get a little sick of the stereotype that many Americans have that homeschooled folks are stupid in fact some of the most intelligent people I have ever met are homeschooled. The government does not own our children. And quite honestly I think it is up to the parents to teach the birds and the bees not in the public school to dispense 7th graders condoms I think West Virginia is a beautiful state so Im sad to hear that. Well sad to read it. Hi, Eric, I dont know if this has been addressed in the comments or not and Im not going to read through them. I wanted you to know that your information is misleading. I am a homeschooling mom in WA state, I have homeschooled now for 8 years here using both private and public curriculum. The state law requires us to *get* tested, but no one but the parent *ever* sees the results. The only thing the state ever sees from us is our declaration of intent that must be filed by September 15th every year. Please update your chart to reflect this. We have enough issues with confusion with the law in our own state that we dont need an outsider coming in to muddy up the waters and make things more confusing and frustrating for newbie homeschooling moms. Thank you! Veteran Homeschool Mom from WA State says the brainwashed liberal What a horrible thing to say about other people. For the record, we have a fantastic homeschooling law in Wisconsin, and it was set up when Democrats controlled both the governors mansion and both houses of our state legislature. Your bitter and angry attitude seems like a coverup for the fact that you are not interested in becoming the kind of activist who can make your state a better place to live; instead you want to blame others for your situation. It sounds like thats really low regulation. Fill out simple form once a year (principal=Jane Smith, # students = 3, easy peasy lemon squeezy), write down what you do (I do that anyway, as I have a written plan that gets updated with what I do every day), study basic subjects. Living in a high regulation state means you have to follow a state-approved curriculum and send in proof that youve done it in the form of a portfolio, to get the states okay on your progress. Nope. I also have perfect faith in the public school system, but choose to both homeschool and use a private school. Its a myth that everyone who uses homeschool/private education hates the public school system. That may be how *you* feel, but the vast majority of us are pleased with all 3 and choose the best one for each child in turn. Gee Maggie, do you realize that in total your posts come across as, you dont share my point of view, therefore youre wrong? Perhaps you speak for the vast majority of home schoolers in your personal circle, but most widely available assessments and polling data do not support that notion. You need only Google why do parents homeschool to see that. Im gathering that youre a democrat and feel you have to represent and defend your side, and I do understand that, but its just coming across as combative. Thats not quite accurate. I live and homeschool in Washington state. We are required to send yearly notification that were homeschooling, but we do not have to send in anything else. In 18 years Ive never been asked for anything else either. I guess it doesnt matter if youre moving to a new state and you already homeschool. They cant just come to your house and investigate right? That sounds like some bizarro world. I know this was posted 2 years ago, but I just saw this article. We are moving to Virginia we have been home schooling for 3 years, our son is autistic and 14. I figure I dont need to contact the school for any reason, how would they even know I have a kid? Right? I dont understand, how does the school even know you moved? Right, how would they even know. That is absolutely ridiculous. Those in Tennessee need to revolt. That is completely over the top. Hi this post was witten in 2012; what about nowadays in 2016? Excuse my english, im french These states are still free for unschooling? Here in France, its just really hard Too much regulate and no freedom To do unschooling. Id like To talk With unschooling families living in these states. Id like To move in the US With my children To have a chance to see them growing joyfully Thanx for your Answers! I live and homeschool in Connecticut and you must notify the board of education in your city or town every year of your intention to homeschool.You must also keep records and transcripts for your children because they reserve the right to see your work . Texas? Stay away. Californians and Mexicans have run rampant here. Either live in a million dollar mansion, or the craphole with the Mexicans. Hard to afford anything unless you make 100k a year. I lived in TN; and I have searched all the laws concerning Teacher-Parent requirements. It does not state you need to have a College Degree to teach beyond 8th Grade. Can you provide what law states otherwise? 
2	VIDEO: Girl Beats Up Ferguson Thug That Tries To Attack Her For Being White Police are denying that an incident in Ferguson is in any way related to the knockout game, even though there is no evidence pointing to anything other than that. Videos captured by a cell phone show a man hitting a woman with one blow. The attacker is surprised, however, when the tables begin to turn against him. As the video continues on, it becomes clear that the cameraman and the attacker actually know each other, as he is heard chanting, lets go, lets go, lets go. Shortly thereafter, the video gets blurry and the man is shown lying on the ground with the woman standing above him. According to reporters, the crime in the video is a misdemeanor battery charge, that could have the attacker facing 6 months in jail or a $1,000 fine. UPDATE: Sorry the video has been removed. 
2	Ben Carson Responds To Accusations About His Views On Islam [VIDEO] According to recent report, the chairman of the Staten Island Libertarian Party was just crushed by presidential candidate Ben Carson when he publicly challenged him on his views about Islam. Hesham El-Meligy was pushing a controversial comment Carson made on CNNs Jake Tappers State of the Union in September. He thought he had Carson cornered when he held up a pocket copy of the United States Constitution and citing Article 6, Section 3. It says, No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States, he read. Thats very easy to reconcile actually, Carson replied, almost instantly. If you go back to what I said, I said I would not want a Muslim who accepted all the precepts of Islam including Sharia. You have to reject the tenets of Islam, Carson said at the time, when he was asked whether he believed a Muslim could be president. Yes, you have to. Watch the interaction below and tell us what you think. Do you support Carson? 
1	Numerous Hollywood maintenance crews were reportedly dispatched early Thursday morning to fix a rash of plotholes that have developed across the film industry, with laborers called to fill in unresolved third acts and smooth over illogical character arcs at worksites on the Warner Bros., Universal Studios, and Paramount Pictures lots. Every spring we get reports of big plotholes from nearly every studio, and we have to send out workers to repair these deep, troublesome inconsistencies in films before they cause too many problems, said Hollywoods Department of Cinematic Works commissioner Brad Barnett, who added that the plotholes tended to be worst just after the end of a long, arduous awards season. Plotholes can form due to poor studio conditions, the presence of implausible events, or a prolonged lack of attention by screenwriters. And if they arent patched up by adding some solid dialogue or an additional explanatory scene, then the plotholes will continue to grow and well need to send in a specialized crew to tear up the script and do a complete overhaul on the underlying storyline. Not only are plotholes annoying for moviegoers, but if you run into enough of them, they can totally destroy your suspension of disbelief. Emphasizing that regular maintenance was critical, Barnett said that he expected viewing conditions to improve significantly before the summer blockbuster season, when the number of plotholes is expected to quadruple. 
3	The 10 Commandments of SurvivalGaye Levy, Contributor As I have expressed many times in the past, the burden of knowledge or perhaps I should say the burden of truth can be a huge weight to bear. That, coupled with the crazy busy task of life during these hard times, can be overwhelming. Getting up each day, going to work, doing chores, balancing the checkbook, taking care of family members it is all a big job but add prepping and learning survival skills to the mix and you have a recipe for exhaustion and perhaps even a bit of depression and gloom. To help overcome my own dizzying sense of having too much too do and too much to prepare for, I sat down a couple of nights ago and attempted to put my own rules for survival in to words. I am calling them the 10 commandments of survival and they bring focus and meaning to preparing for hard times. Commandment #1: Have the will to live no matter what. Reading about the recent passing Aaron Swartz touched me in an inexplicable way. He was so young and so bright and appeared to be doing much to further the spread of truth. Having the will to live requires a strong sense of self-preservation and is something we must all work at on a daily basis. To fall into despondency will sabotage our efforts to prepare for that time when supplies are sort, when chaos rules the streets or when economic collapse has bankrupt the world. Now I am not saying that any or all of these things will happen. But on my own risk-meter, these things are right there at the top along with a regional natural disaster such as an earthquake. The only question is when. This goes without saying. When chaos reigns the land or a natural disaster strikes, we need to do our darnedest to take care of ourselves. We need to have our own food, our own source of clean, purified water, our own medical supplies and most important, a robust skill-set that will allow us to live quite comfortably without electricity or petroleum products. There will still be a need for government assistance, but that assistance should go to those that are truly needy through no fault of their own. That includes the wounded, the sick, the working poor, the elderly and the disabled. This may be a pipe dream but in my sense of right and wrong, taking care of the truly needy is something that governments should do, provided that these same people have gone as far as they can go to take of themselves. Commandment #3: Seek knowledge as a solution to problems. There are so many free or almost free credible sources of information these days that the tough part is just that: determining who is credible and who is not. Luckily, it is pretty easy to vet the reliable members of the alternative press. These reports attempt to tell the news without fear-mongering and without getting you to spend money (unless you want to of course). But before seeking knowledge as a solution, some effort has to be put into both identifying and prioritizing of the problems at hand. And how many people really do that? Why not identity five or six problems and find good solid solutions to those before moving on to the next group? Furthermore, while we still have a reliable power grid, download free e-books or visit survival and homesteading websites to pick up skills. Take advantage of the wealth of DIY information at your local library for free. Learn do-it-yourself skills, then continue to practice and to drill and to learn some more. Turn problems into solutions by using knowledge as your tool. Commandment #4: Adapt to the surroundings, wherever they may be. As comfortable as we may be in our homes, the time may come when you have to leave. It may get destroyed in a natural disaster such as a hurricane, flood or earthquake. Or, due to the woes of the economy and unexpected unemployment, you may have to sell the four-bedroom ranch house and move to something more modest. The house you live is built of sticks and cement and bricks and mortar. Your home, on the other hand, is where ever you happen to live; and if you are lucky, where you are surrounded by loved ones, even if they are the four-legged type. Learning to adapt to your surroundings the people, the geography and social milieu will allow you to embrace change as an adventure even when the causative circumstances may not be pleasant. And that all translates into less stress. Commandment #5: Embrace decisiveness as a core value. Making a decision when the choices are poor to begin with leads to complacency and even worse, doing nothing. On the other hand, making a decision and then pursuing that decision with decisiveness and gusto will likely lead to positive results. Sure, the result may not be perfect, but the willingness to make decisions, even in the face of uncertainty, means you are taking responsibility for your actions and for the outcome of your decision. And right or wrong, you will learn from the experience. Doing nothing is simply not acceptable. Commandment #6: Channel fear into positive actions. Being fearful and running scared is what the PTB wants you to do. Fear translates into submission and submission results in being controlled. Add a bit of brainwashing and the result starts to sound like Hitlers Germany. A good way to avoid fear is to be prepared to fend for yourself in all types of situations. Commandment #7: Defend your right to freedom and the tenets of the US Constitution. Embrace freedom and defend your right to liberty. What is liberty? How about: We currently live in a world of airport pat downs, forced healthcare, mandatory vaccinations, and the unauthorized surveillance of our whereabouts and our communications. Soon we may lose our right to bear arms and defend ourselves. Dont give up your rights without a fight. And dont be so afraid of the power elites that you fail to speak up to defend those rights. Some people will cower and hide. Instead, why not band with like-minded people and make your voice heard. If we dont do it, who will? Commandment #8: Respect others and their right to privacy. Notwithstanding #7, everyone has the right to their opinion and their right to privacy. There are some things that some people simply do not want to talk about or share. Move on and respect their privacy. The time will come when your will want them to respect yours. Commandment #9: Pursue love and laughter on a daily basis. We all need a break because, truly, it is all too much these days. Call it down time, call it personal time. Whatever the name, love a little and laugh a little each and every day. Commandment #10: Be authentic and real to yourself and to those around you. One reason kids matter is that they are not spoiled by life. When they are very young, they only know truth and not deceit and lies. When things are not going well, it is easy to pretend and fantasize that things are different. There is nothing wrong with that as long that you know in your heart of hearts that reality is quite different. You cannot make reasonable, practical and viable decisions based upon myth. You need facts. To survive, you need to acknowledge these facts and accept the truth. Truth will lead to trust, and trusting your decisions is paramount to have other trust you as well. To be real means to be true to yourself regardless what others think. And without being real, the other commandments just dont matter. These 10 commandments of survival were set down to help me cope with my own anxiety and sense of uncertainty about our future as citizens of the world. As a prepper, I know I cannot prepare for every single one of our global problems, nor can I prevent Mother Nature for doing what she is going to do if and when the time comes. At best, all I can do is to continue to learn to be self-reliant and independent so that I can keep in check my sanity and my ability to think rationally. Some days it is difficult, and so I will keep looking at these 10 commandments and will continue think of ways that I can do more. At the end of the day, that is all I can do. The world is scary right now but I cant help but think that the worst is yet to come. Sadly it is not a matter of if, but a matter of when.

2	What Oprah Just Said About The 2016 Presidential Election Will Make You FURIOUS In what comes as no surprise, Oprah Winfrey as just endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Regardless of your politics, its a seminal moment for women, Winfrey commented on the matter. What this says is, there is no ceiling, that ceiling went boom! It says anything is possible when you can be leader of the free world. I really believe that is going to happen, Winfrey said, clearly ecstatic that a woman could be in a leadership position. Its about time that we make that decision. Im with her. Winfreys decision was not met with approval. That was very apparent in the comments on the story of the endorsement on Entertainment Tonight. Its a seminal moment for America, but for the wrong reasons, William Hofmeister commented. When you vote for someone because they are a woman, or a black, rather than for someone because they are the best candidate, what you get is often corruption, incompetence, and at the least mediocrity. Voting for Hillary because she is a woman is like drinking anti-freeze because it looks like gator-aide. Wrong move, wrong decision. Another commented that voting for someone because of their gender is sexist. No. This is not enough. This is sexism, Peter Anastos wrote. Hillarys only credential is that shes female. She has no other skills, no other qualifications for the position. She rode her husbands coattails to every job shes ever had, and did each and every one miserably. Hillary = Death. Oprah is a terrible sexist. What do you think? Are Oprahs claims absolutely outrageous? 
1	Following reports he crossed international borders without first calling his parole officer, former South African president Nelson Mandela celebrated his 94th birthday yesterday in a Robben Island prison cell. 'It's unfortunate when this sort of thing happens, especially since Nelson's usually so good about the weekly phone calls, drug tests, and not associating with other ex-cons,' said Mandela's longtime parole officer, Ted Jackson, who claimed that despite successfully holding down a job as an international dignitary for the past 22 years, the former president is still 'held to the same standards as all former inmates.' 'He's been warned before. Hopefully, this will teach him to call me next time he plans to leave for another overseas conference on international poverty.' Mandela previously violated his parole in 1993, after failing to make a court appearance while he was receiving his Nobel Peace Prize. 
1	Zsa Zsa or Eva Gabor, the well-known star of stage and screen, was found dead Monday morning in her Hollywood Hills home. Gabor, who remained an icon of Hollywood glamour throughout her more than 40 years in show business, was best known for either her role on TVs Green Acres or for her frequent guest appearances on the 1970s ABC hit, The Love Boat. In 1991, either she or her sister Zsa Zsa or Eva had a much-publicized run-in with law enforcement officials, in which she slapped a police officer. It is a sad day for the entire Hollywood community, Harold Rington of the Motion Picture Association of America said. The loss of Zsa Zsa or Eva is one we will not get over soon. Zsa Zsa or Eva is survived by her sister, Eva or Zsa Zsa. 
1	According to the latest news breaking from the scene of the ongoing Boston bomber manhunt, sources asked if anyone can ever truly know anything and, when one actually stops and thinks about it, what is the truth, really? While authorities have continued updating the public on the progress of the manhunt and eyewitnesses have corroborated the stories, reporters have to wonder: How do any of us ever really discern what has happened from what has not happened, if indeed such terms are mutually exclusive, in the context of spacetime, or even truly knowable? Furthermore, one could potentially view everything we see and hearor rather, everything we perceiveas being little more than a string of continuing falsities, one after another, throughout the entirety of our existence. Who can we trust? Is our only option to continue believing everything we experience, in a phenomenological sense, and ignore the true possibility that all that truly is, has been, and will be, is an illusion, a shadow cast upon the wall of eternity? Keep checking theonion.com for more updates on this story, which may in fact only be an elaborate construct of our own collective consciousness. Continuing coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings 
1	NEW YORKK&L Advertising executive Nathan Lohaus was killed in committee Monday, his life voted down by an 11-3 margin at the 2 p.m. departmental meeting. 'We threw Nathan out there and discussed him at length, but in the end we decided he just wasn't viable,' K&L creative director Marcus Somers said. 'We had a lot of really high hopes for Nathan, and we certainly tried to make him work, passing him back and forth and letting everybody take a stab at him, but in the end he just died on the table.' Somers extended his 'deepest regrets' to Lohaus' wife and children. 
1	In what ad-industry insiders are calling the most ambitious marketing campaign in history, Pepsico launched a $2.8 billion deep-sea research initiative and media blitz Monday, targeting the elusive giant cephalopods believed to inhabit the oceans' farthest unexplored depths. The Pepsi SodaQuest submersible 'We here at Pepsico have already blanketed the Earth's entire surface, achieving near-total ad saturation from the ice sheets of the Antarctic to the dense canopy of the Amazon rainforest,' Pepsico vice-president of marketing Alec Herring told reporters. 'Having long ago established Pepsi product awareness throughout the global human population, we remain committed to our stated goal of seeking out and advertising to every species on the planet, even those still unknown to science.' Giant undersea cephalopods, a species of giant octopus believed to be living undetected far beneath the ocean surface, 'may or may not exist,' according to marine biologists. The creatures, which are theorized to grow to hundreds of feet in diameter, are thought to be the only lifeform on the planet currently unaware of Pepsi's existence. 'If they're down there, we'll find them,' Herring said, 'and let them know about the many fine Pepsi products they've been missing out on, such as Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi One, Mountain Dew, Diet Mountain Dew, Mug Root Beer, Lemon-Lime Slice and Mandarin Orange Slice.' Though the 60-foot giant squid, which has never been observed alive in its own habitat, has been called 'the last great mystery of the sea,' the giant cephalopoda name derived from the Latin for 'head-foot'is considered an even greater enigma. Thus far, all the evidence for the mysterious species comes from one specimen: a section of tentacle discovered by fishermen in the late 19th century. 'Misclassified for almost 100 years as a giant squid tentacle, recent reexamination proved that the specimen was actually the tentacle of a previously unknown species of octopus,' said Dr. Daniel Brenner, the Pepsico marine biologist and niche-marketing expert in charge of the new undersea campaign. 'Though the specimen represented only a small section of the animal, analysis indicates it was part of an animal that was likely more than 100 feet long--a massive creature not unlike the sea monsters of ancient lore. That kind of size means that, if they do exist, they can probably work up a powerful thirst.' An 1871 engraving of the mysterious giant cephalopod. A smiling Brenner then lifted a can of Pepsi to his mouth, taking care to keep the label turned toward reporters at all times, before adding, 'Ahhhhhh.' With so little known about the giant cephalopods, many ad-industry observers are questioning the wisdom of Pepsi's undersea campaign. Pepsi executives, however, assured naysayers that they are proceeding with caution. 'In 1997, plenty of people said we were foolish to consider marketing to the Loch Ness Monster,' Pepsico media liaison John Druckenmiller said. 'But after spending $18 million on feasibility studies which concluded that there was no hard evidence to support the Loch Ness legend, we canceled the campaign. Pepsico doesn't squander its advertising budget on ill-advised projects.' In an effort to locate and target-market the elusive creatures, Pepsi has developed the SodaQuest 6000 submersible, the most advanced piece of deep-sea advertising technology ever built. Guided by robot remote from a master control mounted to a stationary platform at sea level, the SQ6K is equipped with a wide range of state-of-the-art features, including motion-detection sensors that automatically project a series of videotaped Pepsi commercials into the surrounding darkness when triggered by the movement of any large object within 500 yards. The SQ6K is also outfitted with tiny directional microspeakers that emit a constant signal of low-frequency Pepsi jingles. At timed intervals, it also releases trace elements of Pepsi, Diet Pepsi and Pepsi One into the water as a loss-leader promotional giveaway. 'We've been faced with tremendous technical challenges,' Brenner said. 'Just developing a form of carbonation that would remain fizzy under crushing sea-bed pressures was very difficult. What's more, using the animal's own natural reproduction-cycle pheromones to attract the potential consumer--a technique used to great success in targeting the Arctic hare, East African dung beetle and South American coatimundi--wasn't possible in this case, as we had no samples to work with.' Despite these difficulties, Brenner insisted that the Pepsi team would not give up. He said Pepsi hopes to track down the giant cephalopods by monitoring the giant squid upon which they are thought to feed--a problematic task, as no marine biologist has ever tracked giant squid successfully. Currently, Pepsi researchers are looking into the possibility of attaching extra-dermal 'crittercams' to sperm whales, the giant squid's primary predator. 'Sure, it's a tough demographic to reach,' Brenner said. 'But we feel confident we can make Pepsi 'The Choice Of A New Generation Of Undetected Multi-Tentacled Underwater Giants.'' If the controversial campaign is successful, Pepsi will have achieved its longtime corporate mission of establishing product awareness throughout the entire biomass. This would pave the way for what Pepsi executives call 'the next step': lowering massive billboards into the mouths of live volcanoes to achieve total ad saturation in the Earth's molten core. 
3	Is The New World Order Dying? 10 Recent Headlines Offer HopeBy Bernie Suarez Perhaps Im being overly optimistic or perhaps my intuition is correct on this one. One thing I strongly believe: humanity is not designed to live in false government paradigms of slavery and statism. Those who live for government and the state will hold these beliefs, but nature and the rest of humanity tells another story. Humanity naturally yearns to be free of all control systems. Though a certain percentage of humanity actually needs and wants to be under the control of government, this segment of humanity only wishes this because they know nothing else and they are afraid of a stateless world where they might have to care for themselves. For now, lets set aside these individuals who live in fear and need the state to be part of their lives, and lets focus instead on the rest of humanity who is awakened. Lets realize how amazing, gifted and how blessed we are as humans, and how natural it is to be free. For those of us who have moved past the modern-day mental enslavement at the hands of the control system, it is much easier to see the victories being chalked up by humanity with every day that goes by. For those of us who are committed to viewing the world in a positive way, it is not very difficult to glance at some of the recent headlines and see where once again there are signs that show that new world order globalist elite plan at global enslavement may be postponed indefinitely. That is, the new world order is failing even though they are very much fighting back and doing everything they can to continue pushing their plan forward. Here are just 10 recent stories that indicate the new world order could in fact be slowly dying out. These 10 stories barely scratch the surface of things that are happening at the local level everywhere in the U.S. and around the world. People really are beginning to realize that the wealthy elites and governments are the root of the problem. People are realizing how corrupt they are and how they intend to enslave us all forever. Many people are starting to see the bigger picture and this is driving a new consciousness. 1 Baltimore cops criminally charged Not long ago in America we saw multiple cases where police murdered unarmed civilians. From Michael Brown to Eric Garner, for months weve seen injustice as police literally get away with cold-blooded murder. For a change, however, we are now seeing multiple police officers profiled before America as ordinary criminals. Finally we are building the courage here in the U.S. to confront police homicide. We are finally willing to see a person for what they are without a badge distorting your perception of the truth. Slowly the paradigm shift of judging police for their actions is headed in the direction of becoming the norm. Yes we have a long way to go, but we are headed in the right direction. 2 Montana passes law to nullify militarization of police In Montana Governor Steve Bullock signed a law essentially protecting the state of Montana from becoming an arm of the federal government and being given military equipment. House bill 330 protects the independence of Montanas law enforcement. How big a paradigm shift is this? This is a direct result of humanity waking up to the police state which is a big part of the new world order plans. A law like this would never have been considered were it not for the expanding and noticeable militarized police state. Americans everywhere are now seeing the end result of a violent police state which attacks with immunity. People everywhere are sick and tired of the videos and images showing police in military gear, tanks, and unnecessary weapons. These images imprint in our minds and eventually carry over to action. 3 Jade Helm cancelled in parts of Colorado and Texas after strong opposition Bad enough that operation Jade Helm is occurring right here in the U.S. starting this July. The good news is that in a short period of time the military operation has received so much attention that already were seeing cancellations in certain parts of Texas and Colorado. If there is any silver lining it is that when enough people speak out someone will listen. 4 Not enough votes in Congress to reauthorize Patriot Act Will the Patriot Act actually go away? Who knows, but even if it doesnt go away now, think of how many more people are now aware that perhaps its time to say goodbye to the Patriot Act. Only time will tell what eventually happens with the Patriot Act. According to Michigan Congressman Justin Amash there are not enough votes. It is not difficult to see that the longstanding pushback against the Patriot Act is definitely there and may be finally coming to fruition. Should the Patriot Act finally go away, it would be a huge blow to the new world order plans. For that reason we should expect strong opposition to the idea of not renewing the Act. 5 Polls show young Americans are skeptical of Global Warming Even in 2015, the year of the planned return of the global warming hoax theme disguised under the climate change banner, it may appear the young generation is not fooled by the global elite climate religion agenda concocted in the late 1950s and initiated in the 1960s by the Club of Rome. Despite that the climate change movement is in full gear this year, people are holding on to their common sense, critical thinking and rational thought and have not fallen for the agenda. Anyone can clearly see that the Climate Change hoax completely ignores the greatest threat to the planet and that is the planned, documented and carried out geoengineering spaying of our planet. As humanity watches in horror as our blue skies and fluffy white clouds turn to nasty feathery linear tic-tac-toe skies, the climate change hoaxer watches in a silence of betrayal, not willing to say a word to expose the 150 patents the Department of Defense has for spraying our skies. That youngsters are on to some of this and/or are not buying the global warming lie is another sign that we are headed in the right direction in terms of overall human consciousness and awakening, thus bad news for the new world order. 6 Chipotle Mexican Grill becomes first fast food restaurant to reject GMOs. A clear blow to the new world order and Monsanto, a company very much at the core of most genetic engineering of food. Chipotle Mexican Grill is now the first of many other fast food chains who will hopefully do the same. Soon we hope to see a trend of other restaurant chains dropping GMOs all together. I expect that consumer demand may play a role in making Genetically Modified Organism food obsolete. As time goes by more and more people are finding out about the dangers of GMOs. People are now becoming familiar with the Seralini studies which proved the cancer-causing risk of GMO foods. Soon, many millions more will start to think about GMOs as a result of this decision by Chipotle. Another example of how Monsanto and the new world order may be losing its tight grip on humanity. 7 30,000 doctors in Argentina demand ban of Monsantos glyphosate As with the Chipotle story, that 30,000-plus doctors are willing to get together to try and make a difference in their country is remarkable and could present another death blow to Monsanto who makes glyphosate. Lets not forget that every victory to ban GMOs is a huge victory against the new world order. Hopefully in the coming years we will see more action like this taken by other countries. 8 TPP opposition growing. Obama increasingly frustrated Obamas super secret Trans Pacific Partnership agreement is struggling. People are quickly deducing that secret = bad. No good plan is held in secret from the public and nothing good could even come out of a plan that undermines individual sovereignty globally. We can expect opposition to the TPP to only grow. Now is the time to get familiar with TPP and all that is happening surrounding this weird international secret trade agreement. The TPP is also integral to the new world order plans, therefore let us keep fighting to expose this. 9 Obamas own brother says Barack is a ruthless, cold, deceitful liar This story may seem like an odd one to include here but is it really? Foreign born Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Obama, has been exposed as a fraud since before he was elected in 2008 when many things about his past first came out. So why is this story important? And how is this a sign that the new world order could be crumbling? Because throughout history brothers of the sitting president dont usually come out and boldly tell the world their own brother is a liar, and a ruthless person. Unfortunately, the magnitude of this story is actually distorted by todays controlled mainstream media; but keep in mind, at any other time in American history this may be the top story in the nation or top story of the year. But in a nation deeply tangled in a cesspool of lies, deceit and propaganda, many Obama supporters see this headline and think nothing of it. 10 CIA/CNN puts out major ISIS psyop report, no one cares! I covered some of this in my April 2015 report exposing a CNN report by Evan Perez who apparently delivers an entirely false and unreliable/unbelievable ISIS report. But, more importantly, and bad news for the new world order plans, no one seems to care about the ISIS show. Americans everywhere have finally given up on the ISIS show. They are immune to fear, and government uses fear to push their agendas. Without the effectiveness of fear the new world order plans are arguably in severe jeopardy. What we are seeing now is the CIA pushing their staged reports through mainstream media (particularly CNN), each ISIS script is intended to keep ISIS going that is, prolong the existence of ISIS. Paradigm Shift and the Saying Goodbye to the NWO Americans everywhere and people all around the world should be seeing the glass half full, because it is half full. The new world order really is dying out, but it is dying out slowly. Its dying out slowly because there are more of us than there are of them. Its dying out because people have had enough. Its dying out because people are using the power of the Internet to look things up and they are confirming the truth about who we are and our political world. They are finding out that government ONLY operates via conspiracy. They are realizing that conspiracy is the norm not some special category which needs special consideration. This global realization is part of the paradigm shift we are all experiencing. This global paradigm shift does not, however, prevent the control system from continuing their attempt to march toward a new world order of global tyranny. Nothing will stop this control system except the expiration date they are all on now. Everything that they are doing will expire at some point. Soldiers who are part of the system will all have to make a moral decision to either follow illegal orders or to follow their conscience. There are too many factors contributing to the slow death of the new world order to mention here. Their death is real and we should keep focused on this slow process in order to remind ourselves to keep fighting the good fight and that everything we do to make others more aware is paying off. Heres to a dying system. 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. Thats all great news. I just worry that those psychos will detonate a nuke somewhere and then the real nightmare will begin Their economic, energy distribution, and social constructs are too fragile to use nukes or a major war scenario, that would seriously undermine the global surveillance prison they have been building. Thats why they are going totalitarian with the vaccine mandates, risking exposure of their propaganda flanks providing an opening for us. Theyve managed to paint themselves into a corner dragging us along. Claustrophobia is setting in. .wouldnt that be accurateuntil they are desperate? They have other tools to create panic and chaos that serve their needs in a more precise manner, particularly economic and theres also the specter of a bioweapon but that poses more of a risk of losing control. WWIII and setting off nukes in a manner that devastates the global economy and crucial infrastructure wouldnt serve their long game, they would rather loosen the reigns for awhile (e.g. the fluoride decision and WHO glyphosate carcinogen ruling) and allow the system to de-leverage a bit and then resume work on their endgame. Its how theyve operated for centuries. True, but it wont work this time. Bernie hit the nail on the head what we are witnessing now (and bringing about ourselves by ceasing to fear) really is the end of their game. Without our fear to feed on they are on the ropes. Whenever we do something as simple as saying No to a vaccine, we hammer one more nail in their coffin. They know this, which is why they are pushing so hard for mandatory. Fukishima has already done most of the job Theres a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding about Fukushima. Its not worth getting paranoid about. Japan has recovered beautifully from Hiroshima and Nagasaki 70 years ago, and those were much worse. Also heard a report recently about how well the Gulf of Mexico has recovered from the BP oil spill of a few years back. Nature has amazing powers of recovery. Its man we have to worry about. Hm Reports of 91% of the sea life dead in the Pacific, reports that the gulf has NOT recovered from the BP spill, and neither have the economies. Who do you work for? Really, so all those millions of dead marine life washing up everywhere in the Pacific and the beaches of the west coast , is nothing to worry about? Id say just about done, there is no recovery, you are either working for the man or having a breakdown of misunderstanding AND misinformation. Very helpful perspective, Bernie, thank you so much. Two more goods signs: TPTB caving on water fluoridation (for dental cosmetic reasons) by lowering the recommended level, and an admission that glyphosate/Roundup is a carcinogen (WHO). Fluoridation should be illegal!!!!!! Lowering it is not good enough! Absolutely, its a poison! The recommendation is surprising given where it came from. More importantly, I think these moves demonstrate the alt media is making headway as several important propaganda narratives are developing weak spots, some going terminal. If (the biggest word in the dictionary) we can get past fear and anger What if the reason were here, is to make a choice? Love. Or. Fear. Good observation.I agree. You know what, you may be right about the choice! I remember taking a class in regression almost 20 years ago and then practicing with another student and also going forward in time. I recently read the transcript of such a session where I was living in a dramatic time and was saying: it is time to make a choice. I also saw and heard trumpets (as in the bible, although I am NOT religious!) and I saw beings flying across the sky. (I am not joking.) Thats beautiful, and Im not religious either. Hopeful. Tough love all the way in the middle, Gods way Its all great except that global warming is an undeniable fact, supported by 99% of the worlds global scientists (from 180 nations) but also proved by the Koch funded Berkeley Project, led by a climate skeptic, which found that the government data was absolutely correct, that global warming is a fact, and that, according to its leader, Dr.. Muller, that fossil fuel emissions since 1800 are the ONLY logical explanation. The Kochs, whose goal was to prove govt data was fraudulent, no longer openly support anti-climate change propaganda, as it is all done through dark money. They wont be burned and embarrassed again. For anyone who poisons the well by including global warming with real hoaxes, I urge you to look up the Berkeley Project, which closes the case. Poisoning the well of legitimate allegations of fraud and deceit is the work of the oligarchs who do not want to pay for their pollution and release of greenhouse gases (we have to pay for it in deaths, ill health, and higher taxes and insurance premiums) and the CIA, the masters of conspiracy, who promoted the concept of conspiracy theory as a blanket mockery of all allegations of deceit and secret dealings. Before having a knee jerk reaction, look up the Berkeley Project which once and for all refutes (tho its goal was the opposite) the claim that the government and the worlds scientists are all lying about climate change. The only beneficiaries of this belief of a conspiracy by the worlds climate scientists are the Koch brothers and other fossil fuel oligarchs. If you dont trust the goverment or the 10,000 climate scientists throughout the world, take a look at the Berkeley Project and the op ed its leader, Dr. Muller, wrote in the NYTimes. It will open your eyes. If you do not want your eyes opened, feel free to attack me (tho I am not asking you to believe me but the Berkeley Project and the 12,000 studies by climate scientists) and call be a paid shill or a libtard or the bastard child of Al Gore. I dont give a shit.for the truth will make you free, and that is what matters. In the age of propaganda, the truth is a revolutionary act. AS for the other issues in this article, I am down with most of them. But if we poison the well, we will lose eveyrthing. Berkeley Project.now! All global warming data comes from ground based measurements and have proven to be skewed. Satellite data shows a very different picture and has shown no warming for 17 yrs and maybe for even 30 to 40 yrs. Claims that 2014 was the warmest on record shown to be false. Satellite measurements are much more accurate. The warming alarm is all about more taxes and more control by the globalists. Always follow the money trail. If you would read the Berkeley Project report ( The claim that 2014 was not the warmest year on record is based on the fact that researchers use cautious language, stating 2014 was likely the warmest year of record. You can read about this in ScientificAmerican. No one has proved the claim to be false, tho global warming deniers, funded by the Koch brothers and other fossil fuel oligarchs, have promoted such views. HOwever, the study they funded found global warming to be not only real but worse than scientists have claimed. The Koch brothers want you to think that stopping the pollution and greenhouse gases they emit (together) are not a problem (tho fossil fuels kill 8 million a year and sicken hundreds of millions) but that efforts to control it (thru taxing carbon emissions and legislating against pollution) are. Dont be a useful idiot of those whose agenda is to maximize profits (because 100 billion isnt enough!) by blocking efforts to reduce pollution and greenhouse gases. Follow the money trail: every lie you are repeating has been funded by those with a financial interest in confusing the public about the truth. When the Berkeley Project showed that global warming is real and that the only logical explanation is fossil fuel emissions (and methane from meat production), they stopped publicly funding the anti-climate science campaign and do it with dark money. If you want the truth, as confirmed by non-government, industry funded, climate science skeptics look up the Berkeley Project. It will change your mind and make you see how you have been brainwashed by profit-driven billionaires. Also read Dr. Mullers op ed in the Times, where he deals with all the lies you have repeated. What he found, starting as a skeptic, converted him to the position taken by over 97% of the worlds climate scientists (none refute global warming and fewer than 3% do not agree it is caused by human activity). Have the courage to look at the reportit will liberate you from propaganda lies. Even if there is an anthropogenic variable in climate change, why would we want the globalists, who created the problem in the first place, to shove their solutions down our throats? BTW, the Kochs were instrumental in the rise of what became the controlled op John Birch Society. In recent years they, along with two Rockefeller foundations, have been principle sponsors of the RMCOs Colorado Climate Project with its Agenda 21 inspired policies. Are the fossil fuel oligarch Koch brothers providing the antithesis to the fossil fuel and bankster oligarch Rockefellers thesis? selfnews Post followers know both sides are working toward the same endgame. In 4 sentences, you make 6 unsupported assumptions. I will deal with only one (the rest are all far right paranoid fantasies): the Koch brothers did not fund the Colorado Climate Project. The principal sponsors of the Colorado Climate Project were Denver Water, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and Ms. Pat Stryker. The sponsors were Aspen Skiing Companys Environment Foundation, the City of Aspen, the Colorado River Water Conservation District, and the Rockefeller Family Fund. The Rockefellers and the Koch brothers are not ideological allies. There is only way to curb greenhouse emissions and act on climate change, which has already done huge harm and if not dealt with will lead to more catastrophic events. Greenhouse emissions must be reduced, either through laws which create penalties for not doing so. The Koch brothers will not voluntarily clean up either the lethal pollution they produce or the greenhouse gas emissions; That is why they have spent hundreds of millions to protect their hundred billion to thwart legislation which would force them to clean up their act. Not all globalists are aligned. Many support dealing with climate change; the fossil fuel oligarchs (no need to put in quotes) oppose doing anything. Agenda 21 is a voluntary proposal to solve problems, such as global warming. You are part of a right wing lunatic fringe who have bought into every false flag conspiracy theory on the market. The purpose is to poison the well of legitimate questions about genuine conspiracies and to confuse the public. You are very confused, but if I presented a thousand pages of evidence, you would dismiss it because you are a true believer, whose foundation is not science or evidence but a belief system which has formed a cult, based on propaganda funded by greedy assholes like the Koch brothers. I would ask you what YOU would propose doing about climate change, but I think I know the answer: in keeping with the Koch propaganda plan, you would deny it is a problem and assert is is a fraud by all the worlds climate scientists, an unnamed force you call the globalists, and the government. Your answer, I suspect, would be to stick our head in the sand. And that is exactly what the Kochs want: a nation of brainwashed useful idiots. They know global warming is real because they funded a study to prove the government data was fraudulent, led by a climate skeptic; to their chagrin, the study found the government data to be totally accurate and global warming to be very very real, with the only logical explanation being greenhouse gas emissions (and methane from meat production as well). The level of CO2, which was about 280 for thousands of years began to rise with the fossil fuel inspired Industrial Revolution, and today has spiked to nearly 400, the highest level in 800,000 years and getting worse every year as fossil fuel consumption increases and forms a vicious cycle (such as melting ice caps allow huge amounts of trapped CO2 to escape, making matters worse, with 90 I call you out for unsupported assumptions and false statements. If you need lies to support your assumptions, that is proof enough that you have no real foundation based on fact. True believers like you are very stubborn and very dangerous. I urge you to look up the Berkeley Project if you have the courage to confront your own Koch-fed illusions and the op ed by the leader, DR. Muller, which appeared in the NYTimes. I also urge you to read the short 1951 classic True Believers: Thoughts on Mass Movements by longshoreman Eric Hoffer. The truth will make you free. If climate change is a result of human activity then the elite (oil magnates) should admit full responsibility for covertly forcing society into the ridiculous, foul, taxable combustion driven transport and commuting system since early in the twentieth The banking elite for fomenting, instigating and bankrolling all the eco-system destroying wars. If climate change is a result of human activity then the elite are collectively responsible for not The elite, with their adolescent, miscreant mentality, will rather apply their vast resources ( and political lobbying/bribing capacity ) to foment death and destruction in Ukraine and to weaponise the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries in the Quiet War they declared on the rest of us, the not so elite. Since you refuse to confront the truth, I will place it before you. The Berkeley Project, co-funded by the Koch brothers, who have spent over a hundred million against the global warming consensus of the worlds scientists, proved that global warming is real and that the only logical explanation is human activity (ie harmful emissions from fossil fuel burning). Here is the op ed written by Dr. Muller, the climate skeptic selected to lead the study, whose agenda was to show the government data was false (or true). NYTimes/July 28, 2012 Berkeley, Calif. CALL me a converted skeptic. Three years ago I identified problems in previous climate studies that, in my mind, threw doubt on the very existence of global warming. Last year, following an intensive research effort involving a dozen scientists, I concluded that global warming was real and that the prior estimates of the rate of warming were correct. Im now going a step further: Humans are almost entirely the cause. My total turnaround, in such a short time, is the result of careful and objective analysis by the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature project, which I founded with my daughter Elizabeth. Our results show that the average temperature of the earths land has risen by two and a half degrees Fahrenheit over the past 250 years, including an increase of one and a half degrees over the most recent 50 years. Moreover, it appears likely that essentially all of this increase results from the human emission of greenhouse gases.Continue reading the main storyRELATED IN OPINION Converted Skeptic: Humans Driving Recent WarmingJULY 29, 2012 These findings are stronger than those of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the United Nations group that defines the scientific and diplomatic consensus on global warming. In its 2007 report, the I.P.C.C. concluded only that most of the warming of the prior 50 years could be attributed to humans How definite is the attribution to humans? The carbon dioxide curve gives a better match than anything else weve tried. Its magnitude is consistent with the calculated greenhouse effect extra warming from trapped heat radiation. These facts dont prove causality and they shouldnt end skepticism, but they raise the bar: to be considered seriously, an alternative explanation must match the data at least as well as carbon dioxide does. Adding methane, a second greenhouse gas, to our analysis doesnt change the results. Moreover, our analysis does not depend on large, complex global climate models, the huge computer programs that are notorious for their hidden assumptions and adjustable parameters. Our result is based simply on the close agreement between the shape of the observed temperature rise and the known greenhouse gas increase. His op ed refutes all the objections to the validity of temperature measurements and the correlation with greenhouse gas emissions. He finds no other logical explanation than such emissions for the indisputable reality of global warming. I urge you to read the full article by a leading climate skeptic. You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make them drink. I urge you to drink. As for elites,., scientific evidence has nothing to do with elites. It is based on empirical measurements. Another take on the matter, complete with hard info: The article Computer Models vs. Climate Reality in the April 20 issue of The New American. TPTB have tried to use the AGW/Climate Change canard to herd us into their New World Order corral, based on energy use. Google The Trilateral Commissions role on all this. And dont give your power figuratively and literally over to these agenda freaks. P.S. And dont forget the Hockey Stick Graph fraud. A dead giveaway to there being an agenda behind the science. You know why people call you names, dont you? Because you outright lie. People, myself included, do not like liars. The Wall Street Journal went as far as to say, The assertion that 97% Your study hasnt been peer reviewed, either. Big 0 today for global warmers. FAIL falsus in uno , falsus , omnibus Dale believes in vaccinations, and he believes in AGW. Sorry, Dale, but youve been fooled by one of the the oldest tricks in the book controlled opposition. Facts (public info): total CO2 in atmosphere = 3.161015 kg (about 3,000 gigatonnes) TOTAL Human emissions = about 26 gigatonnes of CO2 per year. 26 / 3000 = .0086667 - CO2 = .04% of total atmosphere H2O Vapor = 1% Total H2O vapor = 25x total CO2 CO2 = 1/25 of H2O vapor - Specific Heat capacity of H2O vapor = 1.93 Specific Heat capacity of CO2 = 0.844 H2O is 2.29 times more efficient heat carrier than CO2 - Everyone knows that water vapor dwarfs CO2 in GH effect, so this is a valid comparison. We can feel it when the weather changes. We cook with steam, not CO2. Just look and compare the specific heats and IR spectra for both. Water vapor kicks butt. This is why warmists dont want to discuss water vapor. - If we stop ALL human CO2 emissions, and returned to the stone age, we would make 1/25x.0086667/2.29 = .00016925 difference. JUST IN COMPARISON TO WATER VAPOR alone. About 1.7 TEN-THOUSANDTH of the effect of water vapor annually. Rather minuscule effect at best, because thats giving CO2 a plethora of benefits of the doubt. There are further diminishing factors ocean dissolution of CO2, carbonate sequestering, plants, the fact that the Earth is a WATER PLANET, etc. Then there is also a lensing effect with water vapor we know the ambient humidity is greater in the tropics (up to 4%), and very minimal as we near the poles. This means that the areas of earth that receive more direct sunlight, have more humidity, and thus the average of 1% is actually magnified. Since there is no lensing with CO2, this further diminishes the relative percent contribution of human produced CO2, down by a factor of about 2.5 (think of the profile of the earth and how much the tropics take up as they occupy the widest point), to about 0.000068 (6.8 100,000ths) that of water vapor. The above doesnt yet consider that water vapor has a much broader and more complex IR absorption spectrum than CO2 nor the H2O IR feedback loop called the oceans (no oceans of CO2 on Earth). Nor that atmospheric CO2 is soluble in rain and some of that gets sequestered in the oceans nor that plants grow faster and thus sequester CO2 faster if levels rise (negative feedback). Nor that CO2 at 20ppm is practically opaque in the atmosphere at that point, any increasing concentration has diminishing effect. Now were really talking MINUSCULE. Now consider the rest of the 98.96% of the atmosphere. Sure, the IR spectrums are not broad for most of this, but it is a mega-huge mass not to be discounted. Further, nitrogen and oxygen both have higher specific heat capacities (1.04 and .919 respectively). This certainly makes CO2s impact even more MINUSCULE. Its the cycles of the sun, and water vapor that really drive the climate. CO2 is a trace gas, a gas of life with a balancing cycle, and is a non-factor. Also, an increase in CO2 is a good thing up 2x to 3x todays levels, as plant life thrives at those levels, and will produce about TWICE as much food (see CO2 level vs. crop production graph), and will have zero effect on the climate. Every growhouse operation knows this add CO2 and get more production, and no need for aircon as a result. The elites want to maintain low CO2 for food suppression population control a primary goal of the elites. They have attacked and poisoned the Gulf, nuked the Pacific, and it seems maybe CA drought as well all major food sources. Look for another accident or crisis in the bread basket or Atlantic next. They are hitting us hard on food. AndAside from unjustified taxes for the NWO, the AGW scam is also a tool to divide us and its working. Sorry oldman, I don;t buy fake science. My sources are actual climate scientists. The CO2 level is the highest in 800,000 years; and since 1800 it has spiked by 40%. As a greehouse gas, it warms the atmosphere, and 2014 was the warmest year globally since recoreds have been kept. The warmer the atmosphere, the more moisture it holds, which explains the result of more extreme weather events. The CO2 that is emitted with lethal pollution is a greenhouse gas not at ground level but in the upper atmosphere. It does not hover at ground level. You are a dupe of the fossil fuel oligarchss propaganda, which you then back up with absurd theories that the worlds elites want to kill of people, when in fact capitalism (the system of the ruling class) would totally collapse if consumer demand were reduced. You are brainwashed by the Koch brothers, I will stick with science. I dare you to check out the Berkeley Project, funded by the Kochs, and intended to show that govt data is fraudulent. It was led by a leading climate skeptic. The investigation actually found that the data is correct, that no claims of how it is skewed stand up, and that in fact, the ONLY logical explanation for rising temperatures is fossil fuel emissions (and methane from meat production, to a lesser degree). The climate skeptic Dr. Muller wrote an op ed in the NY Times refuting all the fake science you are repeating with no understanding of climate science. I urge you to read it. You are nothing but what political scientists call useful idiots, people who support positions (and vote) against their own interests based on propaganda. I urge you to look up the Berkeley Project and DR. Mullers op ed. This is not controlled opposition but solid science. You can reject it or accept it, but facts are facts whether you believe them or not. CO2 is a trace gas, and a gas of life. There is simply not enough of it to matter, and there are balancing mechanisms. The math doesnt lie and all figures i used are verifiable. Your argument about CO2 causing more humidity is complete nonsense. PROOF there is no more CO2 in the tropics than anywhere else actually slightly less as the tropics have less landmass, more ocean (scrubber) yet water vapor is 3 and 4%.1-2% at mid lats, and essentially nil at the poles. No relation to CO2. but a direct correlation to amount of direct sunlight. I have a science degree and an MBA, i understand math quite well and the math says what you are saying is impossible. Sorry to break your fantasy, but there is no feedback system in the universe that amplifies CO2s effects 10,000 fold. It is a scam. Wake up. In the upper atmosphere, there are no plants; so CO2 acts as a greenhouse gas, heating up the atmosphere, causing glacial melting, sea levels to rise, and extreme weather. The tropics have more landmass? Have you looked at a map of Brazil?The warm, humid Amazon is huge. 80% of South America is tropics, as is 80% of Africa and half of INdia and almost all of SE Asia. I did NOT say that the tropics are warm because of more CO2 but that warm air hold more moisture. AGain, you confuse ground level CO2 with CO2 in the atmosphere, where it acts as a greenhouse gas. Warm air holds more moisture: that is a scientific fact.And that is why the tropics are so humid. And the CO2 that is harmful is not at ground level but in the atmosphere.Can you get that thru hour thick skull? You clearly have never taken a class in climate science. I am saying nothing: I am reporting on what the worlds climate scientists are saying. Your math is just voodoo. It does not refute the findings of real climate scientists world wide. Global warming is not a scam; it is an indisputable fact. Even the Berkeley Project, which was conducted by climate skeptics, proved that global warming is real and that the only logical explanation is fossil fuel emissions (human activity). Expose yourself to the truth. Your math is nonsense. The facts are proven, based on confirmed empirical evidence, and there is no other logical explanation other than the explosion in the burning of fossil fuels beginning around 1800, when the CO2 level rose from 280 to nearly 400 today, the highest level in 800,000 year. You claim that that is too little to matter, but 10,000 climate scientists worldwide (99.9%) say you are full of shit. . CO2 in the upper atmosphere deflects CMEs, one of which can be greater than all human energy used in a year, and also acts as a thermostat gas cooling the atmosphere as it absorbs photons and radiates most back out into space (all directions, actually, but Earth lies in only a small part of the pie), as CO2 has a low specific heat re-radiates quickly cooling. So 20,000 PHds in climate science and atmospheric science have got this wrong while you, without taking even one class in climate science, have refuted them all? Since the CO2 level is the highest in 800,00 years and has increased by 40% since the Industrial Revolution began, that makes it difficult to understand why the earth is warming. Here is an explanation by one of those climate scientists you have refuted: Most of the light energy from the sun is emitted in wavelengths shorter than 4,000 nanometers (.000004 meters). The heat energy released from the earth, however, is released in wavelengths longer than 4,000 nanometers. Carbon dioxide doesnt absorb the energy from the sun, but it does absorb some of the heat energy released from the earth. When a molecule of carbon dioxide absorbs heat energy, it goes into an excited unstable state. It can become stable again by releasing the energy it absorbed. Some of the released energy will go back to the earth and some will go out into space. So in effect, carbon dioxide lets the light energy in, but doesnt let all of the heat energy out, similar to a greenhouse. All the textbooks now must be rewritten to reflect your brilliant exposure of how the entire scientific community has been wrong for so long. You deserve the Nobel Prize in science! you are so gullible. Your first sentence is a lie. your second sentence is a lie. the rest. you dont know my education . another illogical assumption. gullibles like yourself, who never did well in science, see AGW as a way to feel scientific, even though you have no clue what you are talking about. Its is really an amazing study in mass psychology and brainwashing. You ignore N and O completely, the majority of our atmosphere as if they cannot hold or capture ANY heat. Wow. You ignore the sun, you ignore water vapor. but instead focus on a trace and weak GH gas, CO2.. from NASA Mlynczak is the associate principal investigator for the SABER instrument onboard NASAs TIMED satellite. SABER monitors infrared emissions from Earths upper atmosphere, in particular from carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitric oxide (NO), two substances that play a key role in the energy balance of air hundreds of km above our planets surface. http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2012/22mar_saber/ I have never had a zombie like you be able to answer this question: What is the ultimate goal of your AGW mania? What do you want humans to do? Dale, its sad to read your comments. OldManMtn laid out detailed logic for you to understand the factual scientific historic nature of CO2, even leaving you room to run your own experiments to prove his points and your response is word-for-word propaganda from the globalist psuedo science playbook without ANY logical counter explanation. You really are brainwashed. Wake up idiot!! Furthermore, the Koch brothers are patsy villains they are using to further their agenda. Look it up, the Koch brothers have even funded organizations and agendas related to the global warming climate change hoax. YOU are the one being duped. You are a mental sore on this site full of otherwise intelligent thoughtful people. What is sad that you would believe the fake science of a guy who has never had one class in climate science over against the 20,000 actual climate and atmospheric scientists. The Koch brothers have spent hundreds of millions to create the illusion of a scientific controversy. They have never funded research intended to promote global warming science. The Berkeley Project, which they funded and which was led by a climate scientist skeptic, was intended to prove that government data was fake, but in fact it proved it is highly accurate. As a result, the skeptic was converted, and the Koch brothers no longer publicly fund anti-science propaganda but do it through dark money. They rely on useful idiots like you and paid shills in the Republican Party to protect their 100 billion profit, which is based on a fortune they inherited from their father, who got rich working for Stalin, which profit is based on polluting the earth with harmful emissions and externalize the costs while using a small portion of their profits to invest in buying off politicians and massive propaganda to prevent legislation to reduce these harmful emissions. You are a useful idiot because you are defending a campaign based on a fake science which not only robs you of money (the harm of pollution is born by the public) but damages your health and our environment. I am a source of truth and support for science on this site; You are a victim and promoter of profit-driven propaganda. CO2 is a greenhouse gas which warms the earth by reflecting back heat. That is a scientific fact. No amount of voodoo math or personal insults can undo that fact. Nice article. But it should have addressed the NWOs transhumanist agenda which is what chemtrails are all about that have givien us all Morgellons, and mentioned the effective treatments for Morgellons disease. Effective Morgellons disease treatments are trully organic sulfur, other detox products, and Michael Chapalas very powerful electromagnetic fields devices. The article should have also mentioned how we can fight back against the NWO and transhumanist agenda with Agnihotra, Homatherapy, and Chembusters. If enough people act we can thwart the coming soon martial law and FEMA camp detention that is going to intern, starve, and transhumanise everyone in FEMA camps. Questions?

Chembusters do not work, it is a hopeful idea without merit. I have one I made for shits and grins, made by the book with the best components I could find and grounded right into the earth. Anyone you can harangue about geoengineering is about the best you can do. Excellent article! I hope we will see it expanded with ever-increasing numbers of NEW reasons why the NWO is dying. keep up the good work! We the People can keep this movement toward sanity. Instead of worrying, get busy and contribute your time to becoming informed and educating others about any one issue that calls to you. All we need to do is to believe, work together and visualize this paradigm shift and not allow oneself to become distracted by the dozens of other problem areas. Focus on one issue. Good advice! Thank you for this, Bernie. A good reminder to keep an eye on the whole picture. Not just the part that angers or paralyzes one. Im hopeful that now that the ACLU is getting involved in the mandatory vaccination fiasco that we can add overturning this draconian nonsense as #11. Humanity naturally yearns to be free of all control systems. Research has shown that the amount of pacing back and forth that zoo animals do in their cages is directly proportional to the size of their native habitats, with polar bears being the champion pacers. We should not be surprised that sports like walking, jogging, or hiking are among the most popular human sports, and touted as the best natural antidepressant. The ongoing attempt by the Ruling Elites to cram all of humanity into dense cities is failing miserably; doubling down on that failure with Agenda 21 will either be the end of humanity or the end of the Ruling Elites. Im cheering for humanity. Re: #6 Ill probably go back to Chipotles if only to thank them for the policy even if their food isnt as much to my liking as (horrors) Taco Bell (which Im eating less and less of). The Trader Joes chain states on their web site that altho they dont label their products as GMO free (for complex reasons), anything sold under the TJs label can be trusted to be GMO-free. Re #8: Not relevant what his brother thinks about Obama, as he, and all elected politicians, are front men for the .001% Elite. And as heartening as these headlines may be, at best theyre only smoke and mirrors, behind which the Elite continue their centuries-long machinations. Theyve been planning their moves generations ahead, and arent going away any time soon. I stopped reading your article s soon as I read your first story about the Baltimore 6. Those chargers are politically motivated. Due process was thrown under the bus in order to appease the mob in Baltimore. No, Virginia, the NWO is not dying; it is in full swing the fact that there are so many naive sheeple like you proves it. 
2	BREAKING: Obama Caught In Massive Act Of Treason... This Is Grounds For Impeachment According to reports from the Washington Times, a shocking new document has just revealed that the Obama administration has a history of backing moderate Islamist organizations, like the (terrorist affiliated) Muslim Brotherhood. The administrations policy of backing the Muslim Brotherhood is outlined in a secret directive called Presidential Study Directive-II or PSD-11 one source notes. The policy was established in 2011 and has supposedly been operative ever since. The recent discovery of an Obama administration document evidencing support for the Muslim Brotherhood is unsurprising, Michele Bachmann, former Congresswoman commented. It merely confirms the consistent position of the White Houses support of the Muslim Brotherhood since Obamas election. The White House National Security Council refused to comment. The Muslim Brotherhood is not moderatenot in its theoretical orientation and, as weve seen in Egypt, not in practice when it has a chance to govern, Fox News contributor Andrew McCarthy stated. And it is simply a fact that many of the worlds most violent and influential jihadists got their start in the Muslim Brotherhood. It is a gateway to violent jihadismnot in all cases, but in many. What do you think of the administrations support of such an organization? Does Obama need to be kicked out of the White House immediately? 
2	Oregon Militia Strike Back By Hacking Government Files To Expose Corruption The Oregon Militia refuses to stand down to the government. Theyre doing whatever it takes. The leader of a small, armed group occupying a national wildlife refuge in southeastern Oregon said Monday he and his followers are going through government documents stored inside refuge buildings. Ammon Bundy told reporters the documents will be used to expose how the government has discriminated [against] local ranchers who use federal land for cattle grazing. Bundy said the documents would also help secure the release of Steven and Dwight Hammond, two area ranchers convicted of arson who returned to prison last week to serve longer sentences. The Hammonds case set off the occupation of the Burns-area refuge on Jan. 2. Bundy said his group is not accessing government computers at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, including personnel files. After the news conference, the group drove in a convoy to a ranch near the refuge and tore down a stretch of government-erected fence. The goal, according to the armed men, was to give the rancher access to the range that had been blocked for years. Its not clear where the fence was located or which rancher sought the groups help. The refuge is administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Spokesman Jason Holm said because the documents and files at the refuge may have personally identifiable information, the agency is taking necessary steps to ensure employee and family safety. (Source: ABC News) Do you support the Oregon militia movement? Or do you think theyve gone too far? 
1	A deep, drawn-out, world-weary sigh emanated from an occupied bathroom stall at a local office building Monday, witnesses reported. The sigh, described by those who heard it as 'somber,' 'resigned,' and 'a sad reminder of the crushing pain, anguish, and, ultimately, meaninglessness of life,' escaped from the core of the man's being at approximately 12:32 p.m. and echoed quietly off the stall's dividers. After 30 seconds of complete silencea brief respite from the workday which the man seated on the toilet bowl likely used to contemplate his place in this worldhe flushed the toilet, emerged from the stall, forced himself to smile, and returned to his job for yet another day of monotonous, unfulfilling work.

Priceless [VIDEO] During Donald Trumps speech at a rally in New Hampshire, Donald Trump was just getting into his speech when a supporter began chanting, Ted Cruz is a P**sy! Trump was about to continue, thought for a second, and decided to comment on the outburst. He didnt actually call trump a p**sy himself, but did everything he could to make it seem like he agreed. I never expect to hear that from you again, he said sarcastically. She said hes a p**sy. Thats terrible! Terrible! It seems like Trump and Cruz have finally split up for good. We doubt they will be making up any time soon. It makes sense, seeing that it basically only them fighting for the Republican Nomination. Do you support Donald Trump, or Ted Cruz for the 2016 election? Watch the full video below. 
2	BREAKING: Trump Just Got Dealt Some Devastating News... He Needs Your Support According to recent reports, a New York court just ruled that a fraud suit against Donald Trump from New Yorks attorney general can move forward. The move has since been criticized by Trumps attorneys as being politically motivated. Reuters reports that on Tuesday, the four-judge panel ruled that the multi-million dollar lawsuit against Trump University could proceed. That will likely be a major distraction to Trumps campaign during the electionand its already giving his opponents something to target. Trump University was a program designed to teach students about the real estate investment strategies that Trump used to obtain his wealth. Courses used to cost up to $35,000, though the school stopped accepting enrollees in 2010. The lawsuit alleges that those who were enrolled in the school were offered a bait-and-switch where they were lured into higher-priced courses. This preliminary ruling is controversial because it establishes that the state doesnt need to prove an intent to defraud in order to win the judgment against the GOP frontrunner. On top of that, it moved the statue of limitations back to 2007 from 2010 for those who were allegedly victims of wrongdoing. Todays decision is a clear victory in our effort to hold Donald Trump and Trump University accountable for defrauding thousands of students, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman argued of the $40 million lawsuit. Not surprisingly, Schneiderman is a Democrat. Of course, Trumps competitor Marco Rubio was quick to jump on the information, claiming during a Minneapolis rating that the courts decision validated the attacks that he has made on the legendary businessman over Trump University. What he did to those people is what he is doing to those people is what he is doing to Americans now, he concluded. Trumps lawyers have publicly come to his defense. We think all these claims are without merit and baseless, Alan Garten, general counsel for Trump Organization commented. Ninety-eight percent of those who participated in the programs filled out written surveys giving the programs the highest grades. Watch the interaction between Rubio and Trump below and tell us what you think. Is this lawsuit politically motivated? 
2	BREAKING: Jill Stein Meets Devastating Fate... Recount This Americans on both sides of the political aisle have been outraged at Green Party nominee Jill Steins attempts to launch recounts in the key states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The effort is a pathetic attempt to get Hillary Clinton in the White House, and many view it as a gross misuse of time and resources. The recount has his Michigan the hardest. Taxpayers are signed up to hand over millions to fulfill Steins requests, prompting some lawmakers to attempt to pass legislation that would stop this from every happening again. The major challenge is separating revenge attempts like Steins from legitimate recount efforts that may be needed in the future, the Detroit Free press reports. On Tuesday, a bill passed in the Michigan House Elections Committee made it so that candidates who lose the election by more than 5 percent of the vote would have to pay the entire cost of the recount efforts. As it stands, Michigan law states that candidates who are filing for a recount must only pay $125 per district for the recount. In this case, that means Stein paid around $1 million for the recount, while Michigan taxpayers contributed about $4 million. The current bill will retroactively take effect back to January 1, 2016. If it passes, Steins $7 million dollar effort could be confiscated by the state. That portion of the measure has received the most hesitances from lawmakers. One thing is certain: the measure would stop people like Stein from taking advantage of the legal system and taxpayers again. The ability to request a recount is an important part of our political system, but Steins efforts clearly stem from bitterness. What do you think? Do you agree with the proposed legislation? 
2	WIKILEAKS Exposes The Disturbing Truth About Scalias Death... This Could End The Clinton Campaign For Good If youre determined to keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House, this is worth a share. The nation was shocked and suspicious when U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died in his sleep at the age of 79. Scalia passed away on the night of February 12 or the morning of February 13, after an afternoon of quail hunting and dining at the Cibolo Creek Ranch in Texas. Conspiracy theorists quickly suspected foul play. We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head. His bed clothes were unwrinkled, John Poindexter, the ranch owner, told reporters. He added that Scalia was lying very restfully. It looked like he had not quite awakened from a nap. If you think thats suspicious, wait until you hear this. According to new WikiLeaks emails, just three days before Justice Scalia died, an email was sent using the term wetworks. Thats a term used in the military to mean assassination. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	For the 135th straight year since Gen. Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox, representatives for the South announced Monday that the region has postponed plans to rise again. Three of the estimated 45 million Southerners who have not yet gotten around to rising again. 'Make no mistake, the South shall rise again,' said Knox Pritchard, president of the Huntsville-based Alliance Of Confederate States. 'But we're just not quite ready to do it now. Hopefully, we'll be able to rise again real soon, maybe even in 2001.' Pritchard's fellow Southerners shared his confidence. 'Yes, sir. The South will rise again, and when it does, I'll be right up front waving the Stars and Bars,' said Dock Mullins of Decatur, GA. 'But first, I gotta get my truck fixed and get that rusty old stove out of my yard.' 'Lord willing, and the creek don't rise, we gonna rise again,' said Sumter, SC, radiator technician Hap Slidell, who describes himself as 'Southern by the grace of God.' 'I don't know exactly when we're gonna do it, but one of these days, we're gonna show them Yankees how it's done.' 'Save your Confederate dollars,' Slidell added. 'You can bet on that.' The Deep South states of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Tennessee consistently rank at the bottom of the nation in a wide variety of statistical categories, including literacy, infant mortality, hospital beds, toilet-paper sales, and shoe usage. Even so, some experts believe the region could be poised for a renaissance. The Kentucky state capitol. 'The way things stand, things in the Deep South almost have to get better. Otherwise, the people who live there will devolve into preverbal, overall-wearing sub-morons within a century,' said Professor Dennis Lassiter of Princeton University. 'Either Southerners will start improving themselves, or they'll be sold to middle-class Asians as pets.' 'My constituents are decent, hard-working folk,' said Sen. Jesse Helms (R-NC), despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, in his 22nd annual 'Next Year, By God!' speech on the steps of North Carolina's capitol building. 'We are a proud people who mayn't have all that much fancy-pants book-learnin', but we live and die with pride in our proud heritage and the dignity of our forebears.' Helms' speech was met with nearly 25 minutes of enthusiastic hoots and rebel yells by the 15,000 drunk, unemployed tobacco pickers in attendance. Though Southerners are overwhelmingly in favor of rising again, few were able to provide specific details of the rising-again process. 'I don't know, I reckon we'll build us a bunch of big, fancy buildins and pave us up a whole mess of roads,' said Bobby Lee Fuller of Greenville, MS. 'I ain't exactly sure where we're gonna get the money for that, but when Johnny Reb sets his mind to something, you best get out of his way.' 'Oh, it'll happen, sure as the sun come up in the morning,' said Buford Comstock, 26, a student at Over 'N' Back Diesel Driving School in Union City, TN. 'The South is gonna rise up, just as soon as we get together and get all our shit back in one sock. Then, look out, Northerners!' 'Yesiree,' Comstock added, 'one day soon, the Mason-Dixon Line will be the boundary between a great nation and one whose time done passed.' 
1	Succumbing to public outcry and intense media scrutiny over his alleged March 1996 sexual liaison with a Presidential Palace concubine, embattled Iraqi president Saddam Hussein resigned Monday. Iraqi reporters deluge Saddam Hussein with questions about his alleged 1996 sexual tryst with a 22-year-old Presidential Palace concubine (left). 'President Hussein has finally done the right thing,' said Special Inquisitor and Most-Holy Scholar Of The Koran Fayd al-Khurmah, who doggedly pursued the president for nearly 27 months. 'It is my sincere hope that this episode has at last been brought to a close, and that the nation of Iraq can move forward.' 22-year-old Presidential Palace concubine According to sources close to Hussein, the final straw came on July 30, when al-Khurmah struck an immunity deal with the 22-year-old concubine in exchange for her testimony against the Iraqi ruler. The concubinewho remains unnamed because of fundamentalist doctrine stipulating that convicted harlots be referred to as 'She-Who-Cannot-Be-Named'agreed to provide al-Khurmah with a full account of Hussein's alleged sexual misconduct. She also agreed to hand over to prosecutors the infamous 'Love Veil,' a black, woolen facial covering Hussein allegedly removed to gaze upon her exposed hair, facial features and upper neck. Under the terms of the concubine's deal with the Special Inquisitor's office, in exchange for her testimony, she will be spared execution for harlotry by public stoning. Hussein, who maintains his innocence, issued his brief statement of resignation on Iraqi television. 'My fellow Iraqis,' Hussein said, 'while I very much would like to continue to govern this nation, I can no longer do so effectively while faced with this distracting investigation and constant hounding by the Iraqi media. In light of this, I believe it is in the best interests of Iraq that I step down as your president.' For more than a year, Hussein struggled to preserve his government's totalitarian reign of terror while the scandal deepened. Though he originally attempted to downplay the al-Khurmah probe, dismissing the sexual-misconduct charges as 'satanic, infidel lies' and telling reporters, 'I need to get back to the serious business of slaughtering thousands of Kurds,' the investigation and accompanying media frenzy ultimately proved too much for the president. On July 8, Hussein admitted to investigators that he helped the concubine land a position in Iraqi deputy minister of finance Mustafa Aziz's harem in the remote desert city of Mosul, but he insisted he only did so as 'a favor to a friend.' A portion of the transcript of a taped conversation that Special Inquisitor Fayd al-Khurmah alleges took place March 11, 1996, between Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and a 22-year-old Presidential Palace concubine. Among the numerous charges Hussein has denied: that he had improper sexual relations with the concubine and urged her to lie about it under oath; that he gave her numerous gifts, including a personally autographed copy of The Koran, a 14th-century Moorish sword, and the left ear of longtime opposition-party leader Khusuf al-Birjand; and that he proclaimed a fatweh, or death sentence, against al-Khurmah. Iraqi public opinion of the Hussein scandal has been deeply divided. 'If Saddam Hussein did indeed have improper relations, is this the sort of man we want leading Iraq?' said Samarra-area fig vendor Anah Saddiq. 'It is important for me to feel that I can trust my president.' 'What does it matter if President Hussein lifted a woman's veil?' countered Abdul Kifri, a Ba'qubah rice farmer. 'The important thing is that he is doing a good job leading Iraq. As long as unemployment is low, crime is down, and the weapons-inspecting U.N. infidel pig dogs are kept away from our secret underground chemical-weapons plants, who cares what the president does in his private life?' Hussein, who officially left office Tuesday, said he plans to take a year off and then rejoin the Baghdad law firm of Basrah, Abdanan & al-Qayyarah, where he was a senior partner from 1966 to 1972. 
1	Pine Bluff Middle School band teacher Walter Moreland was 'so clearly, obviously' gay in retrospect, former student Gary Dolan, 32, realized Monday. A 1984 yearbook photo of Moreland. 'Me and a bunch of people at work were reminiscing about middle-school band class,' Dolan said. 'I was just about to say something about how my old teacher Mr. Moreland used to be obsessed with The Music Man when it suddenly hit me. How in the world could I have not seen that he was gay? I mean, he was so gay.' Though the unmarried, childless Moreland never discussed his romantic life, Dolan is '99.999 percent sure' he was homosexual. 'I figured he acted flamboyant because he was artistic,' said Dolan, who attended the middle school from 1982 to 1985. 'Mr. Moreland played, like, 20 instruments. He had this little Lhasa Apso named Trixie that he'd bring to class sometimes. And he'd tell us about taking tropical vacations and driving to Little Rock to see art exhibits and musicals. Basically, he did all this stuff that no one else in town ever did.' Added Dolan: 'I knew he was different, but as a 12-year-old, my understanding of gay culture was limited to Three's Company. I had no idea they actually walked among us in Pine Bluff.' Ever since coming to the realization, Dolan has remembered more details about Moreland that seem to affirm his gayness. Among them are the sack lunches of yogurt and carrots he ate on field trips, his excessive attention to detail when ordering new band uniforms, and his elaborate decorations for the holiday concerts. Dolan said he also remembers the effeminate way Moreland kept his classes under control. 'Mr. Moreland was a fun teacher, but he could be moody,' Dolan said. 'If we were talking during class, he would yell, 'People!' and bang his conducting wand. If he got really mad, he'd stomp into his office and slam the door, leaving us all sitting there, holding our instruments. Basically, he'd throw a hissy fit.' 'Thinking back, he even looked gay,' Dolan continued. 'His hair was always perfect and he had a well-trimmed little mustache. He dressed better than any of the other teachers, in these crisp button-down shirts and nice shoes and...' 'Oh my God,' said Dolan, interrupting himself. 'I just remembered. On concert days, he wore an ascot. An ascot. How clueless was I?' On a spring day in 1984, Dolan got a glimpse of his teacher's secret life when he was given a ride home by Moreland in his immaculately clean teal-blue Plymouth Reliant. Dolan recalled noticing the Broadway cast recording of Godspell in the car's cassette deck and two scented candles laying on the Navajo-blanket-covered back seat. Another time, while at the grocery store with his mother, Dolan spotted Moreland with another man. 'It never occurred to me that the guy might be Moreland's lover, even though they were standing there picking out vegetables together,' Dolan said. 'I remember thinking, 'That guy acts like Mr. Moreland. He must be a band teacher from another town.'' Though Dolan recalled hearing jokes about Moreland's homosexuality back then, he said they were indistinguishable from the deluge of similar accusations levied at every male in school. 'Back when we were kids, we called everybodyand everything'gay,'' Dolan said. 'It didn't occur to me that Mr. Moreland actually was gay.' While the children in Moreland's class were oblivious to his sexuality, Dolan said his fellow teachers must have known the truth. 'I just hope the other teachers weren't dicks to him about it,' Dolan said. 'I don't think he hung out with any of his colleagues much, except for Mrs. Pickens, the art teacher, and occasionally Ms. Sarnofski, the gym teacher. Holy shitMs. Sarnofski.' 
2	Trump Slams Megyn Kelly After The Debate Well, the GOP debate has come and gone and Donald Trump is still winning by a landslide, despite accusations that many of Foxs moderators were gunning for him during the debate. The questions to me were far tougher, and that Isupposedly, according to what everyones telling me, I won the debate, according to the call-ins and everything, Trump stated after the event. But the questions were not nice, I didnt think they were appropriate, and I think Megyn behaved very badly, personally. Trump went on to describe incidents in which Megyn Kelly brought up sexist remarks from women in the past. Youve called women you dont like fat pigs, dogs, snobs and disgusting animals, Kelly commented. Only Rosie ODonnell, Trump interrupted. The crowd broke out in laughter. For the record, it was well beyond Rosie ODonnell, Kelly commented. She then went on a rampage to cite examples, and the charge from Hillary Clinton that Trump is part of the war on women. They werent even questions, they were statements that they asked, Trump commented, and his lawyer even commented on the remarks. A total setup by @FrankLuntx and #FOXNEWSDEBATE to try to lower #Trump2016 high poll numbers. American people will not fall for your tricks, Michael Cohen tweeted. Donald Trump also took to Twitter to criticize Kelly. @FrankLuntz: Im getting a lot of @MegynKelly hatemail tonight. #GOPDebate. She is totally overrated and angry. She really bombed tonite he wrote. What do you think? Is Trump still the winner of the debate? Were the odds set against him? 
1	Lance Cpl. Rudy Coletto, a Marine on his first tour of duty in Baghdad's violence-wracked Tissa Nissan district, said he hopes to be reassigned to a different area of the city once his request for discharge is refused. 'After I'm told I can't leave the Corps, I hope they at least station me on a different tiny besieged island of U.S. control,' said Coletto, 24, who has defended the same 30-by-30-yard square since arriving in Iraq last Christmas. 'I was thinking maybe that one block of the Sunni district we patrol up in north Baghdad, or even that two-block section of Doura where they've almost managed to enforce the curfew.' Coletto's commanding officer said that he would almost certainly be transferred elsewhere after the Tissa Nissan base is overrun by insurgents and abandoned within the month. 
1	American students traveling abroad confirm the findings of a study indicating that Washington's unilateral approach to foreign policy has seriously undermined Americans' chances of getting laid. 'I've been in Amsterdam for two months and have yet to begin a conversation with a cute girl that hasn't ended in a lecture about how big, evil America is taking everyone's oil,' said college sophomore Brad Higgs, a participant in Johns Hopkins University's study-abroad program. 'I offer to buy them a drink, and they tell me I shouldn't just stand by and watch Bush destroy the world. Look, if I had that type of pull with the president, I obviously wouldn't be out trolling for anonymous Dutch pussy.' The report, released Monday by the Center For U.S.-International Casual Relations, was based on interviews with approximately 1,400 American students returning from abroad. According to study director Gilbert Hapbrook, sexual contact between American students and foreigners has declined steadily since January 2001. 'Unpopular military actions and dismissal of international organizations have galvanized world hostility toward the U.S.,' Hapbrook said. 'Instead of being inundated with questions about Hollywood and requests to help hot young foreigners practice their English, Americans are being openly scorned in European pubs and cafes. Data taken from a poll of students in December 2004 showed that only a dismal 11 percent had achieved sexual congress with a non-American.' Hapbrook said the 2004 overseas-coitus figures show a slight recovery from the all-time low reached in November 2002, after the Afghanistan invasion and during escalating conflict with Iraq. But the figures are still well below those of 1999, when Bill Clinton was in office and a very healthy 67 percent of respondents scored abroad. 'I'm in AmsterdamAmsterdam, for Christ's sakeand I'm in the middle of the longest dry spell I can remember,' Higgs said. 'Last week, I was making out with this Italian girl at a concert. It was all going great until the music ended and she heard my American accent. I swear to God, I went from the cusp of a hand job to, 'Why won't your country sign the Kyoto Treaty?'' University of Colorado junior Casey Knight recently arrived in Amsterdam after a month in Germany. 'I asked a group of German girls at some Eurotrash disco to dance and they started yelling at me,' Knight said. 'They said that by paying taxes to the American government, I am no better than a fascist. Well, they would know, I guess.' A recent anti-American protest in Paris. Even students who actively oppose President Bush are susceptible to criticism, according to Emily Biehn, a Duke University student spending her spring semester in Paris. 'I voted for Kerry and I marched against the Iraq war,' Biehn said. 'But when I got to Europe, I might as well have been wearing a Bush bumper sticker on my forehead and star-spangled cowboy boots. As soon as the French guys hear I am from the U.S., all they want to do is argue politics.' 'And switching tactics and acting like you're totally apathetic about politics just pisses them off even more,' Biehn added. Acknowledging that a large-scale change in American foreign policy is unlikely to occur before the end of the current semester, Hapbrook recommended three tactics for American students frustrated in their attempts to bed foreigners. 'First, pretend you're Canadian whenever you can,' Hapbrook said. 'But make sure you're not around actual Canadians, because they'll know you're lying and cock-block you. Second, if there are any anti-American protests going on, take care to avoid women carrying signs. Third, focus your itinerary on countries like Ireland and Japan that are still relatively friendly to Americans.' 'You may want to write off France altogether,' Hapbrook added. Hapbrook said he developed his tactics in 1983, when the American government was practicing hardline Cold War foreign policy and he was spending his junior year abroad. Higgs, who spends most of his time in his hostel playing solitaire and watching DVDs on his laptop computer, urged students back home to write to their congressional representatives. 'This affects all of us,' Higgs said. 'The government has to acknowledge the needs of young Americans. Too many U.S. citizens in foreign lands are spending sleepless, lonely nights jerking off in increasingly filthy sleeping bags. It sucks.' 
1	Fed up with the constant noise, Burundi asked neighboring nation Zaire to 'please keep it down' Tuesday. 'We cannot get anything done around here with all that racket you're making,' Burundi Prime Minister Antoine Nduwayo told Zaire. 'Can you please hold your upheaval somewhere else, or at least do it more quietly? There are other countries that live around here, you know.' Nduwayo added that Burundi's other neighbor, Rwanda, is 'not much better.' 
1	Saying that he didnt think it was too much to ask, area father Joseph Sanborn, 48, reportedly told family members Thursday that all he wanted was to sit down, relax, and watch a single seven-hour block of television without being interrupted. I work hard all day, so I think I should be allowed to take a load off and watch a little TV from the time I get home until well past midnight without any distractions, Sanborn told his wife and children, saying that he didnt see why he couldnt just kick back on the couch and watch hour after hour of television without anyone making noise, calling him into another room, or attempting to engage him in conversation. All Im asking is that everyone just let me sit down after work and spend about one-third of the day in front of the TV, all right? Just give me several hours by myself to watch Modern Family, the Vikings game, Die Hard 2, and three back-to-back episodes of Man V. Food in peace. That doesnt sound too hard to me. Sanborn added that he deserves a little time to himself during the week, as he barely gets 16 hours per day to watch television over the weekend. 
2	BREAKING: Damning Footage Of Bill Clinton Leaks... Hillary Terrified [VIDEO] As if Hillary Clinton didnt have enough of her own battles to fight, it seems that every day there is a new scandal involving her husband and former president Bill Clinton. Now, some damning new footage has the Clinton campaign panickingand its easy to see why. Newly surfaced footage from Bills 1996 State of the Union address showed him saying the exact same thing Donald Trump has been saying while on the trail. After years of neglect, this administration has taken a strong stand to stiffen the protection of our borders, Bill is shown saying. We are increasing border controls by 50 percent. We are increasing inspections to prevent the hiring of illegal immigrants. And tonight, I announce I will sign an executive order to deny federal contracts to businesses that hire illegal immigrants. Let me be very clear about this: We are still a nation of immigrants; we should be proud of it, he added. We should honor every legal immigrant here, working hard to become a new citizen. But we are also a nation of laws. Of course, this statement (while practical), completely negates what Hillary has been pushing during her own campaign. The American people support comprehensive immigrant reform not just because its the right thing to doand it isbut because they know it strengthens families, strengthens our economy, and strengthens our countryWe cant wait any longer for a path to full and equal citizenship, Hillary said earlier this year. Its a sad day when Bill Clinton has stronger leadership skills than Hillary. 
2	When She Found THIS Horrible Thing In Her Walmart Shopping Cart, She Screamed A woman was shopping at a Walmart in Bismarck, North Dakota. There, she made a discovery that was absolutely terrifying, and a testament to the lengths that people will go just to hurt others. I was absolutely sickened when I read the story, as Im sure you will be. Lisa Zimmerman was just about to grab the handle of the shopping cart when her son noticed something jagged hidden inside the carts handle. When Lisa looked closer, she realized that what she was looking at was a razor blade, purposefully put inside the handle of a grocery cart. Someone had gone to the trouble of installing it, hoping some unwitting shopper would slice open their hands on the cart handle. She alerted the store managers and they responded quickly. She said that they were equally upset that their cart had almost caused someone to be hurt, and they prayed that it was an isolated incident. I pray so as well. Theres too much needless cruelty in this world. 
2	Blockbuster Trayvon Martin Film Being Produced By Hollywood According to reports, it appears as though actor Will Smith is gearing up to produce a movie about Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman. Wed imagine that Hollywood is ready to position George Zimmerman as the villain, even after being found innocent by a jury of his peers. However, according to reports, Zimmerman has actually agreed to be a consultant during the creation of the film. He is set to receive over $3 million for the role. Smith has also allegedly announced that his son will be playing the part of Trayvon. Its obvious that hes not Americas sweetheart right now but his story is intriguing and it needs to be heard, Will Smith said, addressing controversy over the film, Hitler wasnt popular. Does that mean his story is any less interesting? Of course not. Slave masters arent popular but 12 Years a Slave was phenomenal. Wait until you see the finished product and judge for yourself. What do you think? Would you go see this movie? 
1	Expressing satisfaction with the unexpected bump in his polling numbers, Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush confirmed Monday that he was astonished by how easily his stance on removing the Confederate flag from the South Carolina Capitol set him apart from the rest of the GOP field. When I tweeted in support of taking down a widely recognized symbol of racism and white supremacy, I thought Id fall pretty squarely in line with the other Republican candidates, but fortunately I was wrong, said Bush after competitors in the GOP primary race either refused to voice an opinion to avoid offending voters or suggested that the decision should fall to the states lawmakers, establishing himself as the most sane member of the field with pretty much zero effort. All I had to do was offer a basic sentiment about how they should take down a flag widely considered to represent slavery and horrific racial oppression, and boomsuddenly Im the only enlightened one in the group. I wish everything was this effortless. Bush reportedly expressed relief that he was able to stand out on the Confederate flag issue and wasnt forced to change his stance on climate change, abortion, taxes, immigration, the economy, foreign policy, budget spending, education reform, or national defense. 
1	So long, Anne and James! In a surprise move, funnyman Howie Mandel was tapped to be the new host the 83rd Academy Awards, according to sources inside Mandel's imagination. What can we expect from the telecast now that Howie is daydreaming he's at the helm? Our Star Fix mind-reporters give us a sneak peek of what we can expect Sunday night. The biggest musical number in Oscars history: The performance will feature 1,000 dancers wearing costumes made of colored feathers, dancing holographs of dozens of famous screen actors from history, and a pyrotechnics show just like the one Howie remembers seeing at a Van Halen concert in 1988. Mandel himself will amaze the crowd with the his incredible tap dancing as sings a rendition of the number-one hit song 'Howie Wowie.' Alyssa Milano: The actress Alyssa Milano will sit in the front row and wink seductively at Howie Mandel throughout the ceremony, Mandel imagines. A pure white light: An intense yet soothing white light from an unknown source will fill the Kodak Theater during the ceremony, cleansing it entirely of germs. A feat of modern comedy: Robin Williams and George Carlin (whom Mandel will imagine faked his death) will step forward to respectively praise the Oscars broadcast as 'the best single Oscars in history all due to the host' and 'the defining comedic work of the past century.' Mandel's jokes will be wildly imaginative, sardonic and biting but also good-natured, each one landing perfectly thanks to Mandel's beloved manic delivery. A five-hour broadcast: Mandels hilarious asides will send the audience into extended fits of laughter that cause the Oscars to run three hours long but no one will care because everyone is having such a good time. Before the telecast has even concluded, Mandel will be deluged with offers from television executives with offers for ten times the amount of money he earns as a judge on 'America's Got Talent,' a job everyone always knew was beneath him. Mandel's relationship with his father will be mended: Howie Mandel's performance at the imagined Oscar ceremony will finally convince his father Al that his son's career is respectable. Immediately after the ceremony, Al Mandel will appear backstage, where he will greet Howie and tell him that he is sorry for telling Howie at a holiday gathering in 2006 that Howie was embarrassing the family by acting like a damn faggoty clown. Howie Mandel imagines that his father will then hug him and say that he loves him. 
2	Liberals Start Screaming, Texas ChickOver the past few years, Chick-fil-A has become one of the most controversial fast food chains by far, but stories like this show why many Americans continue to support the franchise. According to recent reports, an owner of one of the restaurants in Austin, TX was required to shut down the restaurant for five months for renovations. So you can imagine his employees surprise when instead of laying off 50 workers, he continued to pay them during the entire five months. In fact, KVUE reports that Glover even gave his employees a $1/hr raise for sticking by his side. It would be a real financial crisis for the 50 families represented by the workers here to have to go five months without a job, Glover told reporters. What do you think of Glovers actions? 
1	An enormous bra was found in the gutter near the corner of East Lester Street and Jefferson Avenue Monday. The owner of the bra is not known at this time. The enormous bra The off-white, 48DD Just My Size bra, with its contoured cups and reinforced six-hook back closure, was discovered at approximately 9:30 p.m. by a pair of Herkimer County Community College students. 'Me and Jeremy were coming back from the sub shop and, all of a sudden, we were like, 'Whoawhat is that in that puddle by the curb?'' Craig McCrae, 19, told reporters. 'Jeremy was like, 'Holy shit, dude, I think it's some kind of humongous bra.'' 'This giant fucking bra was just laying right there in the gutter,' said Jeremy Reznicki, 20, who noted that he almost stepped on it. 'I was like, what the hell?' Reznicki said he and McCrae stood staring at the bra for several minutes, encouraging passersby to 'check out the giant bra,' before continuing on their way home, leaving the item unmolested. Herkimer police officials said they have few leads in the case. 'Unfortunately, at this point, we have more questions about this enormous bra than we have answers,' said Sgt. Walt Sorensen of the Herkimer Police Department. 'Who does this bra belong to? How did it get in the street? And what sort of breasts would necessitate the use of a brassiere of this magnitude?' By studying the dirt and organic matter accumulated on the enormous bra, police were able to determine that it had been outdoors for at least 12 hours prior to its discovery. The bra also shows evidence of severe fabric stress, which could provide clues as to how it came to end up in the gutter. 'The bra's ruptured stitching, badly distended comfort-lined satin cups and two broken EZ-close hooks may be an indication that some sort of violent struggle took place,' Sorensen said. 'But, if I had to venture a guess, I'd say this damage was more likely the result of the tremendous demands placed upon it by its presumably ox-like owner over the course of many strenuous years.' Police are currently looking for leads at a Lester Avenue laundromat just four blocks away from the corner where the bra was found, as well as in a nearby residential area where pranksters may have stolen it from a clothesline before discarding it. A sketch artist has also produced a composite rendering of the bra owner's torso, which is believed to be at least 55 inches in diameter. Police have provided local media with the sketch and are urging citizenry with any information about the enormous bra to come forward. Several local residents have already responded to the request for information. 'When I called my 8-year-old son in for lunch Sunday afternoon, he was yelling something about finding 'big boobs' in the bushes,' said Eileen Dunne, who lives a block away from the spot where the bra was discovered. 'Well, you know how kids are at that age, so I didn't think much about it at the time. But now I wonder if it was the enormous bra.' 'I don't know if this helps,' local resident Roberta Puhl told police, 'but I distinctly remember my kids saying that the boy next door dared them to touch the 'big white thing,' before he picked it up with a stick and flung it at them.' If no one comes forward to claim the enormous bra in the next 30 days, it will become the property of the individuals who discovered it. 'Dude, I don't want that thing,' Reznicki said. 'The cops can keep it.' 
1	An avid National Public Radio listener, 48-year-old bicycle repair-shop technician Steve 'Hozzie' Hasaji pledged $30 to 89.9 KCRW and 'scored a kick-ass tote bag,' Hasaji reported Tuesday. 'Check this out,' he said, showing coworkers a navy denim bag emblazoned with the KCRW logo. 'If I knew listening to Morning Edition every day before breakfast was gonna get me this cool bag, shit, I woulda sent them money a long time ago.' Hasaji added that Renee Montagne's insightful interview with author Diana Abu-Jaber was 'totally off the hook.' 
2	BREAKING: Hillary Clinton Faces The Music... Benghazi Emails Finally Recovered (ALL OF THEM) It has been a rough few weeks for Hillary Clinton. The American people thought that reached climax last week when the FBI announced they would be reopening their investigation into her use of a personal email server as Secretary of State. As it turns out, she received even worse news this week, when investigators announced they had found 15,000 emails she had neglected to turn over to them. Now, its been revealed that at least 30 of those emails discussed Benghazi and had been completely wiped from Clintons personal server. The emails are set to be released to the public in the next 30 days. On Tuesday, government lawyers told U.S. District Court Judge Amit P. Mehta that an undetermined number of the 30 sensitive emails were not included in the 55,000 pages previously provided by Clinton. This is solid evidence that Clinton lied when she claimed to have only deleted personal emails. Time and time again she argued that she handed everything else over to authorities. To recap, Clinton handed over 30,000 of her work related emails to the State department in 2014. 296 of those emails were related to Benghazi and Libya. At the time, she asserted these were all of the emails Clinton had related to the tragedy. But they ended up finding 925 of them in September. What do you think? Could this finally be the end of Hillary Clintons career? 
1	According to reports from stunned Melberg family sources, Mom just walked up the stairs, slammed the door to her bedroom, and locked it. The shocking incident occurred shortly before dinner time in the Melberg home at 46 Fairmoor St. Although Mom had reportedly been silently chopping vegetables in the kitchen, showing no signs of outward agitation or anger, multiple sources confirmed seeing her walk briskly through the living room and up the stairs before locking herself in her bedroom at approximately 6:38 p.m. Mom At press time, witnesses were sitting on the living room couch in stunned silence. 'Is Mom mad?' Tyler, 8, asked following the unprecedented incident. 'You guys, I think Mom's mad.' 'It wasn't me,' Katie, 11, told reporters. 'I was just sitting here. I didn't do anything.' Mom, 46, has not emerged from behind the locked door, nor has she given any indication as to when or if she will return to the kitchen to resume making dinner, sources said. Speculation persists as to what could have provoked Mom's tense exit, with some citing the failure of Tyler to pick up his toys from the staircase, and others placing the blame on Katie and Joseph's repeated failure to set the table as requested, or on Dad failing to put his book down and help out for once. Katie, who reiterated that she wasn't ignoring Mom and was going to do her homework in a little while after she was done talking to her friend Amanda, claimed multiple other factors played a role in the episode. 'Joseph was the one who wouldn't get off the computer to come down for dinner,' she said. 'And then Tyler was making gun sounds and being annoying like always.' 'Quiet, you guys,' Tyler interjected. 'She's going to get madder.' Inquiries are currently being made into whether or not it would be okay to turn the television on, though many at the scene believed that the sound of the family guiltlessly enjoying a TV show could actually exacerbate an already tense situation. The Melbergs were also reportedly unsure of what to do about the three pots on the stove and the partially chopped carrots, until Dad eventually decided to leave them there for the time being, while turning off all the burners. 'I wish she'd just come out and yell at us,' Joseph Melberg, 10, told reporters. The family's collective hopes were briefly raised when Mom was heard opening her bedroom door at approximately 6:45 p.m. to use the bathroom, where she ran the water for half a minute before turning off the light, pacing down the hall, slamming her door, and locking it again. Speculation continued to mount that the evening's developments might somehow affect the status of dessert, or possibly even this weekend's planned trip to the beach. However, Tyler, Joseph, and Katie Melberg were reassured by Dad that the situation would soon blow over. 'She'll be fine,' Dad said while picking up a dustpan, sweeping up several crumbs, and then awkwardly standing in the kitchen. 'She just needs some time alone.' At press time, Dad thought maybe they should all go out for some ice cream or something. 
1	Despite years of putting up with underperforming teachers, overcrowded classrooms, and a gradually deteriorating educational experience, American students reluctantly announced Tuesday that they would be giving the nation's public school system yet another chance this fall. Saying they would 'probably kick themselves later' for deciding to enroll once more in a system that has let them down time and time again, millions of American children agreed to put up with their schools' insufficient funding and lack of adequate arts and science programs in hopes that administrators might finally start providing a nurturing, or at least tolerable, environment in which to learn. 'I know I've been burned many times in the past by our nation's educational infrastructure, but if they promise to change, I'd be willing to give them another shot,' said sixth-grader Gregory Jacobs, whose Norfolk, CTarea middle school recently cut more than 15 members of its teaching staff. 'Yes, I realize they say every year that it's going to get better and it never does, but my future is at stake here, so I guess I'm just hoping our schools will finally live up to their promise.' 'I don't know, maybe I'm being nave by expecting things to change,' Jacobs added. 'But is hoping for improved overall scholastic quality really such an outrageous expectation?' Admitting they were a little reluctant to put their faith in the same flawed bureaucracy that, for decades now, has failed to close the ever-widening achievement gap and cannot fix painfully apparent budget inadequacies, the nation's K through 12 pupils told reporters that what eventually sealed their decision to return to school was a deep, unshakable faith that the richest, most powerful country in the world would be able to meet the highest global standards for education. While U.S. students have granted the public school system another in a long series of chances to prove itself, they were quick to issue a list of demands they hoped politicians, administrators, and educators would be able to meet in the coming year. 'Look, if we're going to come back, I would personally like to see some guarantees from these officials that indicate they really are committed to making these schools work,' said Elizabeth Gray, a third-grader at the overcrowded Thaddeus T. Barker Elementary School in Brooklyn. 'I'm talking new equipment and resources, better-trained teachers, smaller classrooms, more one-on-one interaction with students, and higher achievement standards, as well as improved models for accountability.' 'Also, we're going to need to see the American student's international ranking in mathematics go up from 32th to at least 26th,' continued Gray, adding that the implementation of a new strategy to get the number of high school dropouts down from 1.2 million annually to an even 1 million would be a 'terrific start.' 'These are things my classmates and I have wanted from day one, and I would like the reassurance of administrators that they are achievable.' In a final plea to school boards across the country, the nation's students said that when they begin showing up to class in the coming month, they really hope they haven't once more placed their futures in the hands of inept administrators who are 'just going to make [children] look like fools for trusting them again.' Grateful for another opportunity to amend its past administrative blunders, the Department of Education was quick to promise it wouldn't let students down this time and would do all it could not to mess everything up again. 'We want to thank all of our students for this vote of confidence,' Education Secretary Arne Duncan said in a special televised press conference. 'We are seriously going to work harder than ever before this year and make some real changes. I promise. Students will not regret giving us this chance.' 'That being said, funding is a little tight right now, so try to keep your expectations within reason,' Duncan added. 
3	Must Watch: Ex Marine Drops Truth Bomb, Blows Whistle On Syrian False Flag And War AgendaBy Sophie McAdam Recorded in August 2013, this interview is now two years old, but in light of the current European refugee crisis its more relevant today than ever before. Passionate, articulate and knowledgeable about the subject matter, OKeefe is the perfect guy to step up and tell these home truths- and boy, does he do a good job. This guy nails so many crucial points about the Syria situation in one interview, hell have you jumping around and punching the ceiling. We have tortured and killed and maimed and raped around this planet; who in their right mind would consider the United States or the West in general to be in any position to punish anybody? the veteran begins angrily, going on to outline the evidence for Syria being a false flag attack (Note: leaked emails showing how Assad was framed by the USA are detailed in this cached Daily Mail report from January 2013, which was published online briefly before being removed). He rightly points out that the USA dropped more bombs in Vietnam than during the whole of WW2 combined, that it regularly arms terrorists (but the mainstream press refer to them as freedom fighters when it suits them) and the ex-marine also points out how the so-called War on Terror is nothing more than a well-planned strategy to be in a perpetual state of war to destabilize the region for the Greater Israel plan. We dont operate under international law; we have the law of the jungle in which the rich and powerful basically determine what goes and what doesnt go. OKeefe shouts. He correctly points out that Bush and Blair would be rotting in prison cells if the law were administered equally to all, or even executed if their own rules were applied to their own crimes. He also acknowledges that these men are nothing more than puppets who serve rich and powerful bankers who control the money supply. Keefe rants about the hypocrisy of the West, who are arming terrorist organizations in the name of freedom for civilians in geo-politically strategic countries while turning a blind eye to vile human rights abuses in countries like Saudi Arabia. The only people who still fall for all this crap, Keefe passionately points out, are bought-off prostitutes [our politicians] or the dumbest of the dumb. In short, this is a video you should consider sharing with anyone you know who is still under the illusion that the USA and Britain are doing good in the world, anyone who doesnt believe the conspiracy theory that 9/11 (or Syria, or Libya, or Afghanistan or Iraq) were not orchestrated attacks to further a sinister long-term goal of controlling the Middle East, and anyone who believes that the desperate refugees fleeing these countries we have systematically destroyed have no right to seek help from their oppressors in Europe and North America after all, without Western imperialism, we wouldnt have any refugees in the first place (more on that here). Ken OKeefe renounced US citizenship in 2001 and now holds Irish, Hawaiian Palestinian citizenship. He says on his blog: My ultimate allegiance is to my entire human family and to planet Earth. Well said. Image Credit: Anthony Freda Endless War This article (Must-Watch: Ex Marine Goes Crazy, Blows Whistle On Syrian False Flag And Real Agenda) 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. I love watching Ken OKeefe. He tells it like it is and pulls no punches! Financial system requires constant state of war to prevent bankruptcy and continue option for executive orders. Congress needs to officially declare the U.S. is not at war! War is the best way to manipulate and control the masses on several levels. War also depletes resources that we could use to empower ourselves, escaping debt servitude and the endless dumbing down. Good points, however emphasizing the west or the USA and Britain as the source of all evil ignores the entirety of Oligarchs participating in the global slavery system and Hegelian strategies used to create a one world government going back to WWI and earlier. This plays right into the hands of elite first tier psy ops using a faux superstates rivalry meme to prop up various narratives. For example, reported rationalizations given to military pilots participating in Geoengineering programs as being necessary to guard against weapons being developed by our military adversaries in China and Russia, despite the fact China is a top to bottom NWO creation and Russia was captured long ago and both are heavily into Agenda 21 planning and implementation. Looking for the easiest way how to do work at home. I can suggest a website that you can learn how to trade and make good money from it. Just Google Superior Trading System. One Question: How exactly can you Renounce a US Citizenship and be a Hawaiian? Just curious. 
2	One State Just Announced Plans To Castrate Sex Offenders According to recent reports, Oklahoma State Senator mark Allen has just proposed a bill that seeks to chemically castrate violent sex offenders. The proposal follows the lead of Florida and California. Under the new measure, first time sex offenders could undergo the procedure for early release. Second time offenders would have no choice in the matter. The bill is without doubt controversial, but many believe it is a good idea. David Slane, an attorney who has represented more than 500 sex offenders has expressed his support of the measure. I remember one in particular who told me he went to his doctor voluntarily, Slane told reporters. He used this hormone therapy and as he said, It cured me. I no longer have the thoughts. I no longer have the sex drive. For years afterwards he had never reoffended. So to me, that was the proof in the pudding. There may be something here. Slane admits that the measure would open up the FDA to lawsuits. What do you think? Do you support the measure? 
1	Citing a sharp increase in casualties among combat troops in Syria, top military officers Wednesday called for the distribution of improved body armor to all soldiers in the region while also expressing regret for informing the nation of the ongoing Syrian War in this admittedly awkward way. With 2010 already the deadliest year yet in the five-year conflict that officials reiterated could have been revealed to the American people much more gracefully, the U.S. Army's highest-ranking officer told reporters that the government should not hesitate to protect service members from enemy attacks that grow more sophisticated and lethal every day. 'If we can't keep our soldiers from harm we cannot effectively wage this war, which, it should be noted, we're truly sorry for not bringing up earlier,' said Army chief of staff Gen. George Casey, adding that there was now a page on the military's website where Americans could catch up on all the developments in Operation Righteous Sword since 2005. 'Unfortunately, the enemy has made significant improvements in its battlefield tactics. By the way, 'the enemy' refers to regional Syrian militias, Hezbollah paramilitary groups, and multinational fighters from al-Qaeda.' 'We've already lost almost 4,000 brave men and women,' Casey added. 'Which actually does sound like a lot now that I'm saying it out loud to the whole nation for the first time.' Casey said that American soldierswho the general sheepishly explained are now engaged in urban warfare with guerillas after defeating the Syrian national army and conquering the capital of Damascus in 2008were driving vehicles that were particularly vulnerable to the powerful improvised explosive devices used by followers of the radical Syrian warrior-cleric Abd al-Rahman Kuki. While insisting that losses of life on the scale of last June's As-Suwayda Offensive were an anomaly, Casey acknowledged that the military had been slow to adapt to the flood of al-Qaeda militants into the region over the past three years and that Americans everywhere, had they known about any of this, would have been rightly concerned about the security risks to their men and women in uniform. Army chief of staff Gen. George Casey Casey also said that the public, once it had fully grasped that the United States was embroiled in a third major war, would not tolerate anything less than total victory. 'The American people will always support the troops no matter where they end up standing on this warand, again, we can't say enough how embarrassed we are to have dropped it on them like this,' said Casey, who also wished to apologize to Muslim-Americans for not informing them of last December's botched midnight bombing raids on a number of mosques in Aleppo. 'We'd honestly wanted everyone to hear it from the president first. It just didn't work out that way.' When pressed by reporters to explain why the military had failed to disclose the existence of the Syrian War, one senior official said that after the resounding success of the battle of Deir ez-Zor in the closing months of 2005, everyone expected a swift victory to follow, with Americans too caught up in the celebration to be upset. Casey also claimed that with all that's been going on politically and economically over the past five years, the time to tell Americans about the deadly, escalating conflict currently engaging one third of the nation's standing army 'just never seemed quite right.' Despite the call for more body armor, officials sought to reassure the public that the Syrian War was being conducted with the benefit of lessons learned from previous conflicts. 'I want to say loud and clear that this war is being fought the right way for the right reasons,' said outgoing defense secretary Robert Gates, conceding that it still would have been nice if even one person involved in national security had mentioned it. 'This is not another Iraq. This is not another Afghanistan, and it is certainly not another Yemen.' 'Whoops,' Gates added.

2	MUST SEE: Watch What Happens When Reporter Asks Flood Victim About Donald Trumps Visit Friday, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was welcomed with open arms as he paid an important visit to Louisiana to show express his support to those devastated by floods this week. More than 40,000 homes were damaged in the state after massive rainstorms led to flooding. Thousands of residents had to be evacuated, and many still remain in shelters. Thirteen Americans lost their lives in the floods. Trump made an honest attempt to avoid media representatives on the visit, but the media seemed to appear everywhere he went. Jeff Nolan, a resident of Louisiana, showed the emotional response to Trumps visit. Lets see, he said. I didnt lose anything compared to what a lot of people lost. Im OK. Its materialistic things. They can be replaced. And having Trump here, that meant a lot to you? ABC reporter Tom Llamas asked. Kellie Michelli, a resident of the hard-hit area of East Baton Rouge, also expressed her gratitude to Trump, claiming that it did not matter if he donated as long as he showed up. He took time out of his busy schedule to come here, Michelli said. I dont care if he gives a nickel, he showed he cared by coming here. What do you think? Do you applaud Trump for showing up when it was most important? 
2	BREAKING: Federal Judges Order The DEWell it appears that the push against Obamacare may actually be close to reaching resolution. According to a recent ruling, a pair of Federal Judges have ordered the defunding of Obamacare as a whole program. According to reports, Judge Raymond Randolph and Judge Thomas Griffith claim that according to an error of the language in the bill, it basically renders itself useless. At the moment, states have effectively two ways that they can deal with mandated insurance coverage of their residents. The first option, according to Think Progress, is to either run their own health insurance exchange where their residents may buy health insurance, and receive subsidies to help them pay for that insurance if they qualify, or they can allow the federal government to run that exchange for them. Judges Randolph and Griffith claim in their ruling that a federal Exchange is not an Exchange established by the State and therefore contradicts itself. And with the numbers as questionable as they are, the GOP doesnt seem to be pushing back. Although we doubt that this will hold up in court, were glad to see that someone views the bill as being nonsensical.

1	In a formal ceremony Tuesday, store clerk Dean Rechler, 26, was honored by Shop 'n' Thrift store management for five years of humiliating, spirit-crushing employment. 'Dean, you are an unremarkable person with no vim or vigor to speak of,' said Greg DeGaetano, Rechler's shift manager at the 24-hour convenience store. 'Literally hundreds of employees have come and gone in the five years you have been here, with most able to tolerate only a few months before quitting, yet you have remained.' To commemorate his achievement, Rechler was given a photocopied 'Certificate of Degradation,' stating that he had successfully endured five years of cashiering, mopping and stocking with no benefits, paid vacations, raises or promotions. Though the unappealing document was described by Shop 'n' Thrift upper management as 'suitable for framing,' it was clearly fit only for hiding at the bottom of a drawer, which is where it now resides. Following the five-minute ceremony, Shop 'n' Thrift regional manager Larry Eldgren instructed Rechter to 'get back to work.' DeGaetano explained how Rechler will often work his third-shift in a stupor of pitiful, stoop-shouldered atrophy. He restocks the snack foods and beverages slowly, staring blankly into the distance like a zoo animal whose spirit has long been broken. Yet he maintains a civil demeanor toward customers for fear of reprimand from superiors. In addition to dehumanizing, servile labor, Rechler endures daily reminders of his inadequacy in the form of deeply degrading lectures on how to properly mop, sweep and wipe countertops, not to mention the constant suspicion of theft every time his till is counted at the end of a shift. Rechler is also regularly forced to submit to a Shop 'n' Thrift chain-wide policy requiring employees to wear a variety of embarrassing promotional and customer-service-oriented buttons. The buttons, which cannot be removed on pain of suspension without pay, include such soul-crushing messages as, 'Ask Me About Two-4-One Hot Dogs'; 'Be A WinnerPlay Lotto'; and 'Am I Smiling? If Not, Report Me Immediately At 555-4578.' Despite his long tenure at the store, Rechler is said to be of above-average intelligence, making his long history all the more humiliating. 'If he was mentally retarded, I would understand,' said Gene Frey, 26, who worked with Rechler at Shop 'n' Thrift during the summer of 1994 and has long since moved on to dignified employment. 'Then, maybe he'd be able to do the same dull thing every day for years and not go crazy. But Dean doesn't have a crippling mental disabilityhe's a normal guy who could be doing a lot better. I don't know how he can stand it.' Recent store hire Lisa Greene, 20, agreed. 'It's so embarrassing that anyone would work here for that long,' she said. 'As soon as my band starts getting gigs, I'm history.' Despite all the notoriety, Rechler himself is unimpressed with reaching the five-year mark. 'It's not like I'm going to work here forever,' he said. 'I was thinking of maybe going back to school or something.' When told of Rechler's remarks, co-workers stressed that he has been talking about going back to school for years and will likely never do so. 'Dean is a sad, sad individual,' DeGaetano said. Rechler's parents declined to comment on their son's accomplishment. 'I have no son,' said Helene Rechler, 56, before hanging up. 
3	Next-Generation Flash Mobs: The Breakdown of Law and OrderMac Slavo In the city of Chicago, which has been one of the hardest hit during the opening stages of a greater depression sweeping the country, law enforcement officials compared the situation on the ground to the kind of tribal warfare one might see in places like Iraq. With law and order breaking down, residents of the city have been caught in the middle. The crime wave has gotten so bad, in fact, that earlier this year the Chicago PD announced a new response plan, or rather, a NON-response plan, wherein police will not even show up at crime scenes unless someone has been critically injured or the perpetrator is still on the scene. This, of course, has been a boon for criminals looking to take advantage of the situation. And earlier this week they did just that. Unbelievable surveillance video captured flash mobs dashing into store after store and running out with armloads and sometimes entire racks of sporting goods. [] Its like a next-generation flash mob. Originally, flash mob referred to a group of people doing a performance to draw attention to something in a positive way. The term gave way to a more sinister motive. They used to just be fun. They used to just be positive and now, I dont know, it seems to have turned into something negative, said one shopper. No one was hurt in the three incidents, though its clear the mob stops for no one. Some city officials in Chicago have even appealed to the state and federal government for help, recently calling for martial law to be declared and for the military to intervene. This is the state of affairs in the U.S., and the organized crime waves are spreading. Residents in suburbs of Oakland and Houston have been forced to hire private security teams to help maintain law and order in their neighborhoods, while millions of Americans across the country are arming up in those jurisdictions that allow firearms ownership. Chicago, it seems, is an example of what happens when law and order breaks down and residents have no way of protecting themselves because of restrictive gun laws. A look at the surveillance footage above shows how indiscriminately a large mob of individuals behaves. As Tess Pennington notes in her preparedness series on Flash Mobs, if you ever encounter a flash mob threat, remember who you are dealing with: For the most part the participants of these mobs are urban delinquents whose only goal is to steal and cause violence. The recent events in Chicago involve teens and young adults looking to steal apparel. What happens when these groups finally realize they can get a lot more than that? Its only a matter of time before the contagion spreads to more serious criminal elements that will target individuals directly in the form of flash mob robberies in places like subway cars, banks, or jewelry stores. And as their efforts go unchecked by police, they will likely increase in scope and violence. In 2011, a large flash mob targeted patrons of the Wisconsin State Fair. Witnesses report that the racially motivated mob involving hundreds of individuals was, attacking everybody for no reason whatsoever. Most of the victims were white. Weve already seen how quickly these mobs works and how violent they can be. Once it starts it cant be stopped. Now imagine what it will look like when these people can no longer afford to purchase basic essentials like food. Read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com, where this first appeared. 
2	Obama Has Sights Set On Becoming Next United Nations Secretary General Americans have been counting down the days until Obama is finally out of office. Now that 2016 is finally here, a new report indicates that we might not be done with Obama just yet. According to reports that have been translated from a Kuwaiti newspaper, Obama wants to replace United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon when the South Korean leaders term is complete at the end of this year. Obama has reportedly already met with Democrats, Republicans, and Jewish officials in the United States about his eligibility for the position. And no one is more upset about the news than Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Wasnt eight years of having Obama in office enough? Netanyahu told reporters. Eight years during which he ignored Israel? And now he wants to be in a position that is liable to cause us hardships in the international arena. Obamas term is ending with him forging an alliance with Iran, coming to an agreement with it on its nuclear program which in the end will result in a similar scenario that took place with North Korea, he continued. What do you think? Should Obama be kept far away from any leadership position? 
3	Green Coffee Health Benefits: Real or Imagined?Sayer Ji, Contributor This is not to say that roasted coffee does not have its benefits too. In fact, research from the mid-80s found that roasting coffee produces unique cancer-suppressing compounds not found in green coffee.[iv] Also, technically, the vast majority of studies performed on coffees health benefits are on the roasted form, as this is what most people consume globally. There may also be unique mood-enhancing, even opiate-like properties in the roasted coffee bean associated with the fat-soluble compound known as cafestrol, which may not be found (or easily absorbed) in green coffee. But this benefit may also be a liability for those who may be prone to drinking too much, or feel they are prone to being addicted to habitual coffee consumption. But one thing that green coffee definitely has going for it is the fact that it is far higher in sheer antioxidant potential than roasted coffee, and most anything else we consume or drink on a daily basis. Some green coffee bean extracts score 2500 or higher on the ORAC scale, which stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity an abstract measurement of the potential for a substance to reduce oxidative stress. Compare this to an equal weight of blueberries, which scores 10, or Oranges which score 3. This is not to say that blueberries and oranges do not have their own unique health benefits beyond what the ORAC score can reveal which they do! but that the green coffee bean is simply a highly concentrated source of antioxidant compounds. And considering how stress, chemical exposures, dietary deficiencies and/or incompatibilities, all lead to increasing oxidative stress in the body (which is a cause of premature aging, cellular damage, and even increased risk for cancers) increasing antioxidant levels in our diet can make a world of difference. So, what are the likely health benefits of green coffee? Despite the present Oz-generated craze to identify green coffee consumption with weight loss, the primary finding is that it has beneficial blood pressure modulating properties. Green Coffee Lowers Blood Pressure Back in 2005, a study published in the journal Hypertension Research found that male volunteers with mild hypertension given various doses of a water-soluble green coffee bean extract (GCE) saw significant reductions , in a dose-related manner, in both diastolic and systolic blood pressure.[vi] The subjects received either 46 mg, 93 mg, or 185 mg of GCE once a day for 28 days. Another study performed in 2006 found similar blood pressure lowering results using 140 mg/day green coffee bean extract of chlorogenic acid . [vii] Finally, a study performed in 2007 found that green coffee is superior to roasted coffee in reducing blood pressure, due to its lower levels of hydroxyhydroquinone, a by-product of the roasting process.[viii] The ordinary coffee group experienced almost no effect. Green Coffee Reduces Weight and Body Mass Index, and May Improve Type 2 Diabetes In the most widely publicized study on green coffee, Dr. Joe Vinson of the University of Scranton lead a randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled crossover study which found that the consumption of green coffee bean extract reduced weight in overweight subjects.[ix] Subjects received either a high dose green coffee extract (1050 mg), a lower dose (700 mg) or a placebo for six-weeks, followed by a two-week washout period to reduce any influence of preceding treatment. Primary measurements were body weight, body mass index, and percent body fat. Blood pressure and heart rate were also measured. The results were a significant reduction in observed body weight: (-8.04 2.31 kg), body mass index (-2.92 0.85 kg/m(2)), and percent body fat (-4.44% 2.00%), as well as a small decrease in heart rate (-2.56 2.85 beats per minute). There we no significant changes to the diet over the course of the study, and impressively, body mass index for six subjects shifted from preobesity to the normal weight range. The study concluded: The results are consistent with human and animal studies and a meta-analysis of the efficacy of green coffee extract in weight loss. The results suggest that GCA may be an effective nutraceutical in reducing weight in preobese adults, and may be an inexpensive means of preventing obesity in overweight adults. Dr. Vinson believes that green coffees uniquely high concentration of chlorogenic acid relative to the roasted form may be responsible for some of its observed weight-loss promoting effects. Chlorogenic acid is known to increase the absorption of glucose, which offsets some of the insulin resistance and blood sugar elevations associated with type 2 diabetes. Indeed, there is a solid body of clinical literature linking chlorogenic acid to the well-known anti-diabetic properties of coffee. So, is green coffee a new magic bullet, or is it just another fad? We dont know. But, relative to some of the pharmaceutical interventions used today to treat overweight and obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure, the research thus far indicates green coffee may make for a promising natural alternative.

1	In an unprecedented image makeover for the eternal deity, universal creator God legally changed His name to Jake Steele at the Cincinnati Municipal Courthouse Monday. 'Let the word ring out across Heaven and Earth,' said Steele after obtaining documentation of His new moniker. 'I shall now be known as thy Creator, Jake Steele. And thou shalt have no other Jake Steeles before me.' In the wake of the change, the Vatican has announced that the Lord's Prayer will now begin, 'Our Father, Jake Steele, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy new name.' The decision was reportedly prompted by the former Jesus Christ's changing of His own name to 'Shane Chance Steele' in July. 
2	Obamas Government Moves To Seize All Americans 401k Pensions According to recent reports, a Supreme Court ruling last week could open the door for Obama to start stripping Americans of their 401(k) pensions. Martin Armstrong, a respected economist, recently warned that the outcome of Tibble v. Edison could put hardworking Americans at risk, by leaving it up to their employers to protect their 401(k) plans. If they are invested in mutual funds that dont perform well, the federal government may be able to seize private funds. Between the court ruling and the Obama administrations push for stronger fiduciary rules, Armstrong warns that the ruling sends a strong message that government can much easier seize the pension fund management industry of course to protect the consumer. This also leaves the door open for them to seize private pension funds when the economy gets messy. This creates a very gray area wide enough to justify public seizure of pension funds under management, Armstrong concluded, adding that this could symbolize a move toward economic totalitarianism. What do you think? Are you sick of Obama stripping Americans of their rights? 
3	Gun Rights Face-off: The Constitution Vs. Dianne Feinsteinselfnews Post Senator Ted Cruz, who recently put AG Eric Holder on the hot seat over his clear misreading of the presidents constitutional right to kill U.S. citizens anywhere at any time if the circumstances are extraordinary, forces Feinstein to lash out with emotion and hyperbole, rather than answering questions central to constitutional principles and the rule of law. Cruz compared her proposed ban as similar to banning books, to which Feinstein responded (with help from Sen. Patrick Leahy) that, yes, assault weapons are like child pornography. As proponents of big government continue to assert that the same personal defense weapons for DHS are assault weaponsin the hands of citizens, the political fireworks have likely just begun. Additional note: Feinsteins position on supposedly saving lives by restricting personal defense weapons remains wildly hypocritical, as she continuesto downplay (or outright lie)about the amount of civilians killed from theoffensiveU.S. governmentdrone attacks overseas.

1	Drew Phelan, 26, a Penn State University graduate student and teaching assistant for History 107: Introduction To Western Civilization, was spotted at the Bulldog Brew Pub last weekend, Section Four sources revealed shortly before class Monday. Drew Phelan 'I walked into the 'Dog at, like, midnight Saturday, and sitting right there at the bar was Drew, our T.A.,' sophomore Zach Matthews told several fellow students in Phelan's 11:05 a.m. discussion section. 'It was crowded as hell, but I'm totally positive it was him.' Matthews, who assured sectionmates that he was not shitting them, said Phelan was dressed in his typical style, wearing a button-down shirt and khakis. The T.A. was accompanied by two females, one of them 'pretty okay-looking,' and one who 'looked kinda cute, but sorta old.' Matthews said it was not clear if either of the two women were Phelan's girlfriend, though at one point, the older-looking one stroked the T.A.'s forearm with her left hand. Phelan appeared to be having a good time and was witnessed talking and laughing. He did not have his briefcase or his usual copy of England From 1066 To 1688 with him. 'When I saw him, I was like, 'Holy shit, it's our T.A.!'' Matthews said. 'It was so weird to see him out in the world, at a bar. You just never think of him as being interested in anything besides Western Civ.' Matthews continued to relate details of the T.A. sighting to rapt classmates for four more minutes, until a student seated near the door signaled that Phelan was about to walk into the room. The students then exchanged smirking glances and carefully studied Phelan for any sign of a hangover. T.A. Drew Phelan in the lecture hall for History 107. 'Wow, that's so bizarre,' sophomore Stephanie Munoz said. 'Phelan doesn't seem like the type to go out and party, but I guess you never know.' 'Last year, I saw my Spanish T.A. at a free Guided By Voices show at the union,' Munoz added. 'It looked like she was really getting into it.' Matthews was accompanied to the Bulldog Brew Pub by fellow History 107 student Eric Lake. 'At first, Eric was kind of freaked, because we both have fake IDs,' Lake said. 'But he was like, 'Chill, Zach. How would Phelan know how old we are? We could be in an intro class because we're, like, returning students or something.'' Though Lake attends a Tuesday-Thursday discussion section with a different T.A., he recognized Phelan from lecture. Neither he nor Matthews approached the T.A., but from their vantage point by the dartboards, they could tell he was drinking beer. 'It looked like it was a Sam Adams, though I'm not 100 percent sure,' Matthews said. 'Eric said he thought it was a Rolling Rock, but I'm positive the bottle was brown.' Matthews said the sighting has given him a newfound respect for Phelan. He even told fellow History 107 student Jeff Dinardo that if he ever saw Phelan out at a bar again he might buy him 'a shot of Jager[meister]' as a friendly gesture. Lake, however, was less pleased by the T.A.'s unexpected foray into his favorite hangout. 'I go out to have a good time, not to have some teacher hovering around, reminding me that there's a bunch of shit I should be reading,' Lake said. 'If [Phelan] starts going to the 'Dog on a regular basis, I'm going to start hanging out at Looney's instead.' 
1	CHICAGOAlthough Ernest Quarles was a reasonably beloved member of his family, the floral arrangements at his Sunday funeral service dominated conversation during the post-funeral luncheon at the home of Quarles' niece, Carol Sands. 'I had a nice talk with the pastor about how Ernie looked so natural amid all those pretty mums, tulips, and baby's breath,' Sands said. 'They were very nice. Not too showy, but still really quite pretty.' Family members agreed that it was a tragedy that Ernest went the way he did, and that the Hawaiian daisies were probably just thrown out after the ceremony. 
3	One Person Dead After Explosion in the Building that Houses Russias Largest SupercomputerBy Melissa Dykes The tank reportedly exploded in the Joint Supercomputer Center (JSCC) the building which houses the most powerful supercomputer center in all of Russia killing a contractor who was working there. The computer itself is located underground, while the explosion happened on the 8th floor in a garage area where a contractor was working. This supercomputer is reportedly not currently under the control of the RAS, but the Federal Agency for Scientific Organizations the Russian government. While initial reports attempt to make this seem like a mere contractor accident or technical error, considering where this accident happened, it seems highly suspicious to say the least. At the very least, its coming at a highly suspicious time. And in other news, the U.S. Navy decided to send submarines out to test not one but two trident missiles off the coast of California this weekend without warning the general public first (its classified), one in the San Francisco Bay and one off Los Angeles. This unarmed Trident II (D5) missile from the Kentucky, an Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine, was widely caught on film and people speculated what it could be all weekend as the light from the test could be seen in California, Arizona, and Nevada. You know, just the American military doing a routine submarine missile test like the ones we see them do all the time every week Makes you wonder who that grand show of force was really for, considering people in countries thousands of miles away would only see it on satellite, not in real life like the Americans living on the West Coast would.

1	Redskins coach Jim Zorn reportedly asked new defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth to begin bulking up Monday, claiming that by adding 2,400 pounds to his frame the All-Pro could improve his run-stuffing ability by single-handedly filling every gap on the defensive line. 'Albert could be a dominant force if he just put on a couple thousand pounds,' Zorn said of the two-time Pro Bowler, who signed a seven-year, $100 million contract with the team last week. 'If he adds some mass to his shoulders, neck, and chest, and especially along his sides and the ends of his arms, there's not an offensive line in the league that will be able to move him, not even with help from a tight end.' According to Redskins trainers, Haynesworth has been placed on a strict diet consisting of grilled chicken breasts, a green salad, and a giant barrel of lard at every meal. 
1	Bears quarterback Rex Grossman, responding to being benched following his three-interception performance in a loss to the Dallas Cowboys, had to stop speaking in order to wrestle with his emotions at a post-game press conference Tuesday in which he tearfully admitted to reporters that as a child his friends and family would abuse him mercilessly on the football field by repeatedly picking off all of his throws. 'I grew up terrified of what my mother or father would say if I took a sack, so I'd just throw the ball up for grabs as hard as I could,' said Grossman, recalling a post-Thanksgiving-dinner outing in which his parents intercepted every pass meant for his friends and vice versa. 'My first memory is playing touch football in my backyard and just wishing that the game would end, but they just seemed to go on forever. I'd just close my eyes and throw the ball and pray it would reach the right person, but my dad, uncle, creepy older cousin, or best friend always seemed to take advantage of my poor throws.' A sobbing Grossman also confessed that his childhood pet Rocky, an elderly cocker spaniel, would often come up from behind him while he was holding the ball and nuzzle it with such force that he would fumble. 
2	David Spade Criticizes Obama For Going On Reality TV Recently, TMZ posted a video of actor and comedian David Spade openly criticizing the Obamas, calling them thirsty for attention. Spade specifically cited the First Couples multiple reality TV show appearance. A president should have a little more dignity, Spade commented. I mean, I realize Woodrow Wilson went on Dancing with the Stars once, but what presidents doing reality shows? Spade then went on to call the Presidents appearances too much. He also implied that the Obamas may be campaigning for a reality show in the future. I think theyre going to do fine, but theyre sort of plotting, after the White House, he commented. Watch the clip below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Spade? 
1	Rookie Secret Service agent Daniel Ferris, 32, expressed disappointment Monday upon learning there is not a series of elaborate decoy presidents, either human and robotic, designed to throw off would-be assassins, terrorists, and evil madmen bent on world domination. 'When the president says he is going to Camp David, he doesn't send a look-alike so he can remain in Washington and conduct top-secret negotiations with Osama bin Laden in the White House's underground Oval Office,' said Ferris, who called his normal responsibilities of guarding President Bush during foreign visits 'lame.' 'Part of the reason I got into this was the excitement of having to act like I was guarding the real president.' Ferris has reportedly requested reassignment to one of the six Vice President Cheneys. 
3	The Ruse of Childrens RightsBy Rosanne Lindsay According to William Wagner, J.D., magistrate judge, Today, a majority of the Supreme Court no longer treats the parents right to control and direct the upbringing of their child as a fundamental liberty.

Color of law refers to an appearance of legal power to act but which may operate in violation of law. Case in point: A Medical Kidnap website documentsthousands of cases around the country where hospitals have taken possession of children based on a medical diagnosis in the best interest of the child, with the courts approval. Without being reported in the mainstream media, the general population is blind to these acts while unsuspecting families are targeted and picked off one at a time. After years of market testing, State governments are now unveiling draconian laws without fanfare. After the turmoil and confusion surrounding the 2015 passage of a mandatory vaccination law SB277 in California to ban children from attending private or public school without full compliance with the CDC childhood vaccine schedule, California proposes SB-18. The Bill of Rights for Children and Youth in California (SB-18)seeksto usurp the natural rights of parents as caregivers. Taken together, these two laws set a dangerous precedent that not only spells the end of medical freedom but also the end of parentalrights whenever a government official or agency declares it so. When did an obligation to care for and raise children suddenly turn parents intopotential child abusers under the law? Although tyrannyseems to have reared its ugly headovernight, history shows we have all been living this ideology undera slow boil. It wasKarl Marx who said, The family must itself be theoretically and practically destroyed. He argued fiercely thatgovernment and its authority must be substituted for parental authority for the sake of Capitalism. What he didnt say was his desire to maintain a materialistic, feudal societywhere people are commodities without consciousness. Marxismsocializes people to think in a way that justifies inequality by teachingchildren to accept there will always besomeone in authority who they must obey the Master-Slave dynamic. Marxist philosophy redistributes the wealth to third world countries that havesuffered undersocialist/totalitarian policies imposed by the same corrupt regimes. There is no other purpose for anti-social, socialist dictatesother than to unravel the fabric of the family. As Confucius said, The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.As the family goes, so goes the nation. The strength of this nation has erodedfrom the inside due toa federal government without accountability, through policies that have: 1) drained the economy with never-ending war, 2) transferred wealth from Main Street to Wall Street, and 3) outsourced American jobs overseas, among other things. The stage has been set for the resurgence of a Marxist State, primed under the guise of liberalism, which pushes vaccine mandates for children while claiming to be the party of choice when it comes to abortion rights. Legislative and judicial overreach has resulted in a new social state where the citizenry, kept in the dark and powerless, are none the wiser. Inherent rights are natural andinborn, granted by the Creator. They come from our humanity under Natural Law, not from man-made laws. Rights granted and legalized by governments are not rights, but privileges that can be restricted and taken away by legislation or Executive Command. Legalese is the hidden language that redefines wordsas tools to expand the scope and power of the State. Under statutes, a person is a legal fiction, not a human being with free will.At the same time, acorporation is defined as a number of persons united in one body, so it can acquire wealth, expand, and enjoy other rights, even though a corporationis incapable of loyalty or love. A government that gives itself power by its own authority is a rogue government and must be stoppedbecause thetrend is toward a One World Government homogenizing and standardizing all laws under International treaties. (e.g., Trans-Pacific-Partnership trade agreement). FYI: The United Nations (UN) hopes to reduce inequality by implementing new norms of global socialism and corporate fascism as part oftheir Post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals. In 2011, the US was the only country that had not ratified a UN International Treaty called the UN Rights of the Child(UNCRC).However, this treaty appears to be the foundation of several U.S. court decisions regarding child placement, as well as the new California law SB -18 the Bill of Rights for Children and Youth in California. Like so many laws that do the opposite of their intended purpose (i.e., Clean Skies Act), the Rights of the Child Actstrips the child of any rights. One provision of the UNCRCstates thata childs view should be taken into equal consideration along with the parents. Thismeans anytime there is a conflict between parent and child, a government refereecandecide what is in the best interest of the child. The U.S. courts already control for the best interests of a child with aGuardian ad litem (GAL) to investigate solutionsin cases ofdivorce and parental responsibilities. However, author and Family Psychologist John Rosemond says, This [Act] is a convention on the stripping of rightsfrom American parents and parents all over the globe. In other countries that have adopted the Acts provisions, likeSweden, home schooling is illegal, and carriesthe risk of criminal charges and children being removed from the home. In Belgium, doctors can terminate the lives of babiesunder one year old if the child is disabled. No parental consent is required. President Clintonapproved this treaty during his term. The only thing that preventsimplementationis a two-thirds approval by the Senate. California is atesting ground in America. As California goes, so goes the nation. Yet even without formal U.S. ratification of the Act, U.S. federal courts are taking the lead from international law to advance the objectives of the UNCRC. States legislatures are liftingarticles straight out of the UN treaty and passing them under new laws (i.e., Customary International Law), thereby making UN law the supreme law of the land. The Legislative and Judicial branches arealready joined at the hip with Executive Branch approval. When Child Protective Services acts as child collection agencies then Social Services means the child belongs to the State. There is a difference between legal and lawfuland that distinction is playing out in the American family. Going forward we must resist playing the their game of claiming Parental Rights vs. Childrens Rights in a corrupt system that no longer recognizes Inherent Rights. Instead, we must take back the language and determine who we are if we are to retain our Natural Rights and those of our children. Are we a person-corporation or a soul embodied? Do we have free-will or do we ask for permission from an outside authority? Do we consent to the dictates of a rogue government or do we withdraw consent? Do we own our bodies or does the State? Do we recognize inalienablerights over privileges and act on them? Do we reclaim our sovereignty as free-will beings? It is timeto redefine the words we live by to work in our favor. In the American system no government is sovereign. The peoples of the states are the sovereigns. It is they who apportion powers between themselves, their state governments, and the federal government. In doing so they are not impairing their sovereignty in any way. To the contrary, they are exercising it.

Each child has parents that should be held accountable, until the child is over the age of 18. How would you deal with the fact that many parents abuse their children? certainly they shouldnt be taken by the government, because they are a bunch of satanic pedophilesif the abuse is severe the abuser should be prosecuted and the child should be placed with a relative, friend or neighbori think most abusive parents dont cross that line and should not be interfered with by the law When child is seriously abused, the local goverment takes the child into protective custody until a relative can be found; if that is not possible, a foster parent is sought. If a child is, say beaten, there is no time to find a suitable relative who is willing, so someone has to protect the child. That is the job of government, which is mandated to protect the rights of all, including children. Each year, there are a million cases of serious abuse. To call the government pedophiles is to descend into madness. I have worked at a juvenile prison and public schools as a teacher: there were no pedophiles. Fail duff is a troll, disinformation is his role, best to engage the cretin with The Eagles weapon, headless chickens best not in the canyon be a goose stepping. This is the slippery slope they will argue but its rubbish. I have advocated/represented abused/displaced children and the activities observed are not in any way borderline. These are children who are obviously being attacked physically/sexually or have been abandoned. Common sense comes into play and not everyone will be saved or get what they need but this is the best we can do. The notion of allowing the state to determine such broad parameters in squishy language to be determined BY the state is wrong and the obvious intention has zero to do with the childs actual welfare. This is one of the goals of the filthy Globalist scum. Already they are warping Childrens minds with the degenerate Gay Agenda and the use of drugs of all sorts to placate and destroy their minds and Spirit. Vaccines and Fluoride in food and water also are being used to further damage and dumb down Children today. Childrens Books, Movies, Cartoons etc. are full of Pedophillic and Gay Propaganda. Their little minds are being warped and someday Children of the State will report you to the Authorities for whatever. Wonder why your Child is unruly, abusive and prone to Stupidity? Never mind, the State will deal with the Kid. You are obviously a bad Parent. Thanks for your views and your willingness to explore this difficult subject. There are a billion reasons for why America is standing at this place in time, and the failure by many parents to properly care for their children is one of those reasons, and when I say properly care I am talking about feeding nutritious meals and providing warm clothing and safety. The Convention for the Rights of the Child (CRC) was originally entered into the United Nations in 1988, and confirmed by just about every country in the world except the U.S. by 1989. One of the primary reasons behind the CRC was to stop forced genital mutilation to children, to stop child abuse and to ensure the education of all genders. These are noble goals. You mention Sweden, and let us recognize that Sweden was an early force in ensuring that all children obtained necessary meals and warm clothing. Sweden passed the first laws to stop spanking and corporal punishment of children when they realized that 80-90% of Swedish children were whipped, spanked and hit. It took 9 years to obtain 90% compliance with the law, and the educational accomplishments of all children in Sweden rose dramatically as a consequence. Crime in Sweden went down by over 75% too. There are many children who have benefitted greatly by home schooling, but much of what passes for home schooling is an excuse for keeping children with adverse vaccine reactions out of mainstreamed education rather than confronting the dangers of mandatory vaccination and what has been illegally allowed into vaccines. America faces difficult and unfair forces adversely affecting children including GMO foods, massive chemical use in farming and toxic vaccines, but at the heart of parenting is a willingness to invest in your children and the children of your community. Are American parents willing to make that investment? Will American children receive the kindness, care and fairness they deserve? Excellent post. Abusers almost always were abused, so the sooner the cycle is broken, the better the chances of end it. The People of California brought this upon themselves. We are certainly undergoing social engineering being crafted and imposed by the Globalist Central Banking system as it marches over humanity on its way to its psychopathic goal of a NWO; the globalists and their banks will hide behind the UN and all the Sheeple will be told international law now supersedes any national sovereignty. This is why the global warming/global climate change hoax materialized. We will be made to believe WE must ALL do the globalists bidding for the good of the planet. This revolting spew of propaganda will be spread by the globalists political minions/presstitute media/corporate spokesmen and judiciary ad naseum. Many, including selfnews Post, posed the question, If you could counterfeit all the fiat money you wanted, how long would it take for you to own everything?. The Rothschild led Global Central Banking system and the Rockefeller clan; who can do just that, are unified into a Supra-Predator destroying families, cultures, nations, faith as well as controlling/poisoning food supplies, medicine,water and the earth itself; it is their planet. The gender revolution is just another hoax/manipulation to confuse the impressionable/wreck families/create chaos. Eugenics and de-population are very high on the collective agenda of this insane and deadly predator. If more people see it; grasp the reality of it, we may be able to save ourselves. However, denial, confusion, ignorance and even human nature itself stands in the way. As a herd, were being guided down the chute to our own destruction.

2	Obama Is OUTRAGED After Donald Trump Makes Epic Stand Against Him According to recent reports, Donald Trump once again took to Twitter to express his controversial political opinions, blaming President Obama for the Baltimore race riots. Our great African American President hasnt exactly had a positive impact on the thugs who are so happily and openly destroying Baltimore! Trump tweeted. President Obama, you have a big job to do, Trump continued. Go to Baltimore and bring both sides together. With proper leadership, it can be done! While we question whether Obama is proper leadership, there is no question that he could make a significant difference in Baltimore. Unfortunately, Obama has been known to take the side of the black community in cases like this, accusing the police of being biased and racially discriminatory. Were he to take a more neutral perspective, criticizing violence in general rather than focusing only on law enforcement, he may be able to change the perspective of young rioters. What do you think? Is Trump right? Is it time for Obama to stand up? 
3	Bombshell: CDC whistleblower goes further: mercury causes autismJon Rappoport Beyond admitting to fraud in a 2004 CDC study that exonerated the MMR vaccine, Dr. William Thompson, a CDC scientist, asserts there is a connection between mercury (thimerosal) in vaccines and autism. Thompson states that giving a vaccine containing mercury to a pregnant woman is something he would never do. Couched in science-speak, Thompson winds up his remarks with this: There is biologic plausibility right now to say thimerosal causes autism-like features. For a scientist at the CDC to make this admission, after millions and millions of dollars have been spent by that agency and the US government to conclude mercury has no connection to autismits extraordinary, to say the least. The PR mantra declaring thimerosal safe has been repeated thousands of times by major media outletsand now a researcher on the inside has repudiated it. Experts and other con artists will try to parse Thompsons words, but the meaning is clear. Only a mindless idiot or an overt killer would inject a vaccine containing mercury into a human being. Meanwhile, the major media blackout on Thompsons revelations continues. The collusion in a vast crime is their mission. 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. Nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, he has worked as an investigative reporter for 30 years, writing articles on politics, medicine, and health for CBS Healthwatch, LA Weekly, Spin Magazine, Stern, and other newspapers and magazines in the US and Europe.

3	Syngenta and Bayers Answer to Bee Decline: Just Plant More FlowersPutting the pesticides industry in charge of protecting bees, is like putting a fox in charge of a henhouse.Alice Jay, campaign director, Avaaz.org The heat is on Syngenta and Bayer CropScience, makers of neonicotinoid insecticides, which are heavily indicated in sharp bee decline as each new study proves. The EU is still discussing a ban and the EPA is being sued for allowing the manufacturers conditional registration of their class of chemicals which include clothianidin and imidacloprid also acutely deadly to bees. Both governmental authorities appear to have catered to corporate influence at the expense of the bee population and the future of crops. Alice Jay of Avaaz activist group said: Its true, pesticides are actually only one of 7 or 8 culprits in the last decades rapid bee decline. But Syngenta and Bayer are under fire as more proof surfaces and must do something to save face in the brewing PR storm. They still hold that the pesticide hazards are unproven and that a ban would hurt the EU economy so they proposed a plan to help. Syngenta chief operating officer said: What is their comprehensive plan? Guardian UK reports: Ruediger Scheitza, head of strategy at Bayer CropScience says: The parasites and disease are ushered in by the bees weakened immune systems brought on by chemical exposure among other things. They need gut health to withstand harmful invaders, but the chemicals are specifically designed to destroy the stomachs of insects. Their brains are thrown off and they dont return home, which is why offering more flowers for more habitats is absurd oh, and lets place them right next to the spraying fields while were at it. It is clearly a desperate attempt to negotiate before they see a decline in profits. Its like letting a criminal free to commit more crimes and offer his own restitution to the dead. They propose more money into more technologies to reduce dust emissions from planting, but the chemicals are systemic the neonicotinoids end up in the pollen, nectar, and corn used for high fructose corn syrup which often gets fed to them. They offer to spend more on research to fight bee parasites. What do you think this will include? More patents, more pseudo-charity, more product lines. Syngenta and Bayers studies try to prove a drop in farming profits concluding economic devastation in the EU. But there are already farming losses due to bee decline. The US and UK have seen a 50% bee drop-off in the last 25 years. They pollinate to create 3/4 of the worlds food crops. If nothing else, its time to stop letting the corporate toxin makers negotiate their way out and tell us its all in our heads. Remember: neonicotinoids were their answer to the slightly more toxic organophosphates, and those were the answer to the slightly more dangerous compounds of DDT. There is no more room for compromise.

1	Against strenuous objections from his advisors, President Bush began a hunger strike Monday to protest human-rights abuses in Nepal, vowing to subsist solely on water and vitamin supplements until 'the twin clouds of violence and oppression are lifted from the land.' Bush sits in front of the White House on Day Two of the hunger strike. 'I can no longer stand idly by while the gentle, peace-loving Nepalese people are made to suffer,' said Bush, a longtime admirer of Nepalese culture. 'This hunger strike will send a strong message to the government of Nepal and the insurgent Maoist rebels that their suppression of freedom and subjugation of the innocent is not going unnoticed.' Since 1991, Nepal has been locked in a bloody struggle between its constitutional monarchy and the Communist Party of Nepal (CPN), a Maoist guerrilla group seeking to overthrow the oft-oppressive regime. Thousands of innocent civilians have lost their lives in the crossfire. After years of human-rights abuses by both the government and the CPN, Bush felt it was necessary to take action. 'In recent months, there has been a sharp increase in the use of deadly force on both sides,' said Bush, seated on a mat in the Rose Garden. 'There have been numerous reports of civilians being killed as a reprisal for the death of military police or of CPN army personnel. Things are bad and they're only getting worse. Something had to be done.' Though he is a longtime member of Amnesty International and Doctors Without Borders, Bush insisted that his protest is not affiliated with any organization. Rather, he said, he is acting as 'one man with a conscience.' 'Violence only begets more violence,' Bush said. 'I will be keeping the people of Nepal in my heart and mind.' Many of Bush's critics charge that his hunger strike is, in actuality, a protest against the government, contending that he sides with the CPN. Bush helps unload U.N. World Food Programme supplies during a 1998 relief mission in Uzbekistan. 'I am not in support of the CPN,' Bush said. 'They, too, have been party to gross human-rights violations, such as recruiting child soldiers and killing civilians they consider 'enemies of the revolution.' I am not taking sides. With this hunger strike, I am merely raising awareness in the hopes that it may help bring about a peaceful end to the conflict.' Bush has also come under fire for hunger-striking instead of using his powerful position as U.S. president to take direct political or military action. 'As my hero Mahatma Gandhi once said, 'You must be the change you wish to see in the world,'' Bush said. 'Besides, this is not the will of the American people. This is my fight. I will not let my personal convictions affect my obligation to the American people. Nepal's plight has touched me deeply, and to take direct political action without the mandate of the American people is to go against everything democracy stands for.' 'I will try not to let the hunger strike affect my duties as president, but to avoid the strike would be an affront to those who voted me into office,' Bush continued. 'The American people elected a George W. Bush who acts on his beliefs. To do any less would be to turn my back on my many supporters.' This is not the first time Bush has taken action on behalf of Nepal. In 1997, Bush started a Yahoo! chat group to help disseminate information and news updates on the country's struggle. In July 2000, Bush took time off from his presidential campaign to organize a candlelight vigil in front of the Washington Monument to draw attention to the suffering of the Nepalese. 'It was amazing,' Bush said. 'We had almost 500 people, twice the number we'd expected. Just to be there, holding hands with a 70-year-old woman who'd lost members of her family to the conflict while listening to a young boy sing 'Ras Triya Gaan' [the Nepalese national anthem] was something I'll never forget.' Worried for his health and fearful of a repeat of a 1998 episode, Bush's top advisors have pleaded with him to limit his hunger strike to 30 days. In early 1998, while governor of Texas, Bush embarked on a two-and-a-half-month hunger strike in protest of former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, under whose reign thousands of political prisoners disappeared mysteriously. '[Bush's] work as governor became severely compromised after the first week,' recalled Dan Morales, Texas Attorney General under Bush. 'He began fainting regularly, but still he refused food, saying that his cause was too important. It wasn't until he developed an extreme case of malnutrition that we finally dragged him to a hospital to feed him intravenously. He was furious, but we felt we had to do it. Lord only knows what would have happened if we hadn't intervened.' Continued Morales: 'While I'm sure the president hopes to keep this new hunger strike short, once he's committed himself to a cause, he goes all the way, no matter what the risk to himself.' 
3	Science: Sunlight Could Reduce Death Rate From All CausesHeather Callaghan A lot of us are secretly, boldly basking for reasons like vitamin D, mood enhancement, happiness,skin issues, liver health, pain and more. Now theres never a reason to fear harm or feel guilty you could save your heart and prevent an untimely death! The espoused fear for about 50 years has been skin cancer rates (which continue to rise), but researchers are finally surmising that years of hiding from the sun could lead to increased heart attacks a much sooner demise than the risk of skin cancer in later years. Sunlight does so much more than vitamin D production. A recent landmark study could turn the modern thought on sun exposure right on its head. UK scientists from the University of Edinburgh discovered that when sunlight touches our skin it releases a compound in our blood called nitric oxide. This helps lower blood pressure and protect the heart from disease, cardiac arrest, strokes, and attacks. Senior Lecturer in Dermatology, Richard Weller, and his colleagues believe there is such a greater effect overall from the sun in reducing life-shortening events like strokes and heart attacks, that sun bathing should not only be risked but incorporated into a healthy lifestyle. There was such proof and such emphasis that the worlds largest gathering of skin experts flocked to hear about it recently at the International Investigative Dermatology event in Edinburgh. A couple dozen volunteers basked in two separate 20-minute sunlamp sessions; one with only heat, and one session with heat plus both types of UV rays. Blood pressure sank and heart rates rose for the UV session only and the lowered blood pressure lasted for almost an hour. Weller, certain that overall benefits far outweigh cancer risks, also said: This study that was published in Journal of Investigative Dermatology in April was done with sun lamps so you can imagine reaping the natural benefits of Good Ol Mr. Golden Sun. Sunlamps did not produce vitamin D. Get the real deal, and not that God-forsaken chemical spray that makes people look like Oompa-Loompa Kardashians. The sun is sexy again just dont want to barbecue that lovely skin. Please avoid any sunblock containing these chemicals nanoparticles are on the rise, which means they can penetrate further into skin and blood. Have fun and make your own natural sunscreenand use after you get some pure sunshine. Source: Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist.

2	Fox News Calls For Prayers After Anchor Engulfed In Serious Car Accident Fox News is praying for one of their Arizona anchors, after it was reported that he was involved in a rollover car crash. Police in Phoenix are now investigating the accident, which sent one woman to a trauma center. Fox 10 later announced that morning-news anchor Rick DAmico was one of the drivers. The accident occurred in the early morning, when a westbound vehicle swerved into the eastbound lane, colliding with two vehicles and eventually flipping over. The driver of the vehicle was a 27-year-old woman. She was later rushed to a trauma center. Investigations will reveal whether impairment was a factor in the crash. Fortunately, the other two drivers involved declined medical attention, and DAmico was able to send out a message on social media to tell viewers that he was okay. 
2	ISIS Beheads 2 Toddlers This is absolutely disgusting. According to recent reports, witnesses have come forward to reveal that a group of Islamists recently beheaded a pair of guilty 2-year-old and 4-year-old toddlers. The witnesses, who saw the incident take place in Mosul, claim that Muslim members of the rising Caliphate have committed unspeakable crimes against humanity. The National Iraqi News Agency reports that Islamists within the group attacked the two innocent children last week in a public square. The total execution included four women and two children. So what did the children do to deserve the punishment? They went with their parents while they attempted to flee the city. The terrorist organization Daesh executed two families consisting of 17 civilians Saturday morning, including four women and two children after being arrested during an attempt to escape Mosul on their way to Baghdad, one witness recalled. This is just one in what appears to be a string of attacks of children. They are systematically beheading children, Arabo confirmed. And mothers and fathers. The world hasnt seen an evil like this for generationsTheres actually a park in Mosul where they actually beheaded children and put their heads on a stickthis is crimes against humanity. They are doing the most horrendous, the most heart-breaking crimes that you can think of. What do you think? Does ISIS need to be stopped immediately? Does Obama need to stop turning a blind eye to the dangers of Islamic extremism? 
3	FBI and DHS Preparing False Flag Attack Claim Domestic Terrorists Building IEDsSusanne Posel, Contributor The NIEFwas created in 2007. They are an intelligence-driven and a threat-focused national security and law enforcement organization that becomes involved with local and state law enforcement with regard to terrorist and intelligence threats. Just last month, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requested700 pounds of high density ammonium nitrate and 700 pounds of A-5 Flake RDX explosives. These ingredients are known to be very high powered explosives. The DHS was given oversight of procurement of ammonium nitrate after Congress requestedthey regulate the sale and transfer of ammonium nitrate by an ammonium nitrate facilityto prevent the misappropriation or use of ammonium nitrate in an act of terrorism. The Ammonium Nitrate Security Programfocuses on preventing a terrorist attack by use of ammonium nitrate in a home-made bomb by requiring that its sale and those that purchase it be registered with the DHS. Purchasers are screened against the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB). Mainstream media reportedthat the FBI and DHS assess with high confidence anarchist extremists will target infrastructure in Tampa and Charlotte, with potentially significant impacts on public safety and transportation. Domestic terrorists, accordingto the DHS, are more of a threat to American safety than foreign terrorist organizations. This harkens to the 2009 report DHS published for the Obama administration called Rightwing Extremismthat stated domestic extremists, particularly white supremacists, were proposed to be the newest and most dangerous threat to the US since al-Qaeda. While admitting that the agency had no definitive proofthat domestic rightwing terrorists are currently planning acts of violence, [however] rightwing extremists may be gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about several emergent issues. The economic downturn and the election of the first African American president present unique drivers for rightwing radicalization and recruitment. The FBI warnedthat anarchists would throw eggs and Molotov cocktails at the RNC convention and are still decrying extremists will attack the DNC in order to disrupt the proceedings. The FBI claims that given the historical precedence and recent arrests, we assess anarchist extremists will likely continue to exploit lawful protests to facilitate violent criminal activity at events like the upcoming political conventions. The DHS are also educating police departments on terrorist IED threats with the assistance of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCC). The DHS claims that international bombings will be carried out on US soil and that the agency will develop partnerships with local and state law enforcement to prevent this from happening. Funded by the DHS, at the University of Rhode Island, Jimmie Carol Oxley, chemist and professor, works with the DHS on projects with her students to analyze IEDs from manufacturing to variousterrorist scenarios that these diverse explosives could be used for. Oxley has worked with many governmental agencies, such as the FBI, NSF, and National Academy of Sciences (NAS) National Research Council (NRC); as well as written over 80 papers on energetic materials (explosives, propellants, pyrotechnics). She has worked on law enforcement issues [with the FBI simulating the World Trade Center bombing (1993), with FEL examining large fertilizer bombs, and with ATF studying the behavior of pipe bombs]; however, her main research interest is hazard analysis of energetic materials. On a 2,200 acre site, Oxley and her students take IEDs constructed in the lab and detonate them to see what happens. They use chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide to study how chemical additives can reduce or exacerbate the effects of a home-made bomb. Most of Oxleys students go on to work for the DHS specializing in criminal and terrorist investigations. In May of 2012, the Global Campaign Against Improvised Explosive Devices (GCAIED) wrote a letterto Obama with the signatures of 23 members of Capitol Hill to bring consensus against the threat of IEDs. With intelligence gathered by the National Counterterrorism Centers Worldwide Incident Tracking System, there is a doubling of IEDs being manufactured annually by civilians. The GCAIED claims that IEDs will be used to attack civilian populations with the intention to disrupt daily routines, healthcare and the November elections. The connection to IEDs then turns toward the US veterans who may become violent and dangerous because of prolonged exposure to battlefield conditions combined with being diagnosed with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Recently, Obama signed an executive order(EO) entitled, Improving Access to Mental Health Services for Veterans, Service Members, and Military Families wherein the Department of Defense is given control over the evaluation of the mental health of our returning service men and women by providing US government controlled effective mental health services for veterans, service members, and their families. Obama demands that the VA and the DoD collaborate to provide proactive measures and a psychiatric pre-screen of returning service men and women to prevent erratic behavior. The DoD will review all existing mental health and substance abuse prevention, education and outreach programs within the military services and access their effectiveness. In the Obama administration reportStrengthening Our Military Families written in 2011, the direction of the document points to identifying all veterans potential to become mentally incapacitated due to some psychiatric disorder which would cause them to become violent, depressed, aggressive and inevitably dangerous to society. While the DHS and FBI are preparing to enact a false flag attack here in the US, the Obama administration is setting up the means to have every US veteran committed to a government-controlled mental hospital as a form of indefinite detention. Once deemed insane, these men and women will not only have their arms taken, but their freedom restricted. This tactic was enacted by other historical dictators from Mao in China to Hitler in Nazi-controlled Germany. We are witnessing the Fascist takeover of our nation through the actions of the current puppet Barack Obama. They are preparing for martial law and the complete lockdown of our country. This first of many steps toward our decent into Totalitarianism is being played out in the demonization of our US veterans, while simultaneously witnessing the DHS and FBI using propaganda concerning IEDs when it is the US government that is amassing1400 pounds worth of ingredients to manufacture a fertilizer bomb.

2	BREAKING: Muslim Brotherhood Has Been Officially Banned It is no secret that when it comes to recognizing a truly criminal organization, America has proven itself to be nave. Such is the case with the Muslim Brotherhood, which is yet to be officially designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) by the Obama administration. Now, Congress is seriously considering a bill to designate the group as an FTO, joining Hamas and al-Qaeda. Although this type of action is usually passed through executive order, President Obama has proven himself to be slow to actionno matter how pressing the issue. Currently, the political arm of the Brotherhood has been officially dissolved by the Egyptian court, following claims that the Freedom and Justice Party was storing weapons in its offices. Thats not a comforting thought given that many of the groups leaders have been accused and/or convicted of murder and inciting violence. According to a report on the ruling, the group organized a wave of violence to destabilize the country after Mohammed Morsi was overthrown by the Egyptian military. The decision to dissolve the party has been deemed final. What do you think? Should Obama be taking action? 
3	Mental illness, medications and school shootings: Preventing another Sandy HookGregory Patin What caused the gunmen to act is more relevant in terms of prevention than the weapons used. With or without stricter gun control laws, firearms will be accessible to potential mass murderers in the U.S. because there are over 310 million firearms in civilian hands that are not going to magically vanish with more gun control laws. One common factor in nearly every school shooting and many other crimes is that the perpetrators were being treated for some sort of mental illness with mind-altering medications. Sandy Hook Tragedy Adam Lanza, the Connecticut shooter, is reported by multiple sources to have been suffering from Aspergers syndrome, a form of autism, as well as other personality disorders and a rare condition in which he was unable to feel physical pain. He was taking medications early as age 10, according to his former babysitter, Ryan Kraft. Joshua Flashman, a 25-year-old Marine who grew up near the Lanzas home, told FoxNews.com that Lanzas mother, Nancy, had been petitioning the courts to gain conservatorship over Adam in order to have him committed to a psychiatric ward and that Adam was really, really angry about this. Flashman also said that Nancy had volunteered to work with kindergartners at Sandy Hook, who would be first-graders now, and that Adam believed she cared more for the children than she did for him. While much of this is unconfirmed because medical and court records are confidential, one thing is clear. If Adam Lanza was being treated by a psychiatrist for Aspergers syndrome and other personality disorders, part of that treatment usually includes psychotropic medications, in particular, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). And according to statistics on gun violence, these drugs may be even more dangerous than the firearms. School Shootings and Violence There have been 31 school shootings since Columbine, in which Eric Harris, age 17 and Dylan Klebold, age 18, killed 12 students and one teacher, and wounded 23 others. An assault weapon ban (1994-2004) was in effect at the time. Harris was known to be taking Zoloft, then Luvox. Klebolds medical records have never been made available to the public. A website called SSRI Stories has compiled a sortable database that lists over 4800 incidents of suicide, violent crimes and other incidents between 1988 and 2011, including school shootings that involve people that were prescribed SSRI medications. Here is a short list of a few moreschool shootings that involved SSRIs: Violence involving SSRIs does not always involve firearms: The list of incidents like the above on SSRI stories is seemingly endless and all of the circumstances are different except for one all of them involve a mentally ill patient on some sort of SSRI medication. Some have claimed that up to 90 percent of school shootings have involved a shooter on prescription medications. While that is impossible to verify without the release of medical records in all cases, enough have been confirmed to establish a link between SSRIs and violence, especially when the black box warnings on the medications mention the potential for violent side effects. Mental Illness and Medications Many psychiatrists and physicians use the physicians desk reference (PDR) in determining which medications to prescribe for patients. A hospital pharmacist with over 20 years of experience had this to say: First of all, any real pharmacist knows that the PDR doesnt stand for physicians desk reference, it stands for poor drug reference. Its useless. SSRIs increase the effect of serotonin in the brain. Atypical anti-psychotic medications do the reverse in terms of serotonin release. They are dopamine-2 and serotonin receptor antagonists which mean that instead of regulating the release of these chemicals to brain cells, they allow the release, but block the reaction of brain cells. In both cases, these drugs artificially manipulate the chemistry of the brain. The black box warning on many of these drugs list side effects such as, akathisia, aggression, apathy, sexual dysfunction, even death in the elderly to name a few. Another known side effect that the FDA does not require in the black box is suicidal tendencies. Drugs like that drive me nuts, mostly because of the overuse of them. Standard practice is to give patients a drug-free holiday, meaning that psych patients and Ritalin patients should periodically be taken off their meds to see how they are doing without medication, but only under close medical supervision. In other words, dont try that at home. According to Lawyers and Settlements, an online legal news source, akathisia is the side effect most likely to drive people to suicide or violence against others. The DSM-IV acknowledges the association of akathisia with suicidality and states: Akathisia may be associated with dysphoria, irritability, aggression, or suicide attempts. While it is uncertain exactly which personality disorders Adam Lanza had in addition to Aspergers syndrome, a registered nurse with 14 years of experience working with psychiatric patients speculates that it is most likely a form of fractured identity: A part of personality lives in the shadow of the psyche due to its perceived trauma. That creates anger and feel for the need of vengeance. A person with fractured identity personality disorder should not be given a drug that allows integration of personality through opening a path in the brain without proper therapy. Any trauma at a young age, however seemingly minor to adults, is extreme when away from the security base of parents and home, such as a school. Drugs that integrate the psyche without a healing for that part of what it suffered do not heal anything they bring that out, create insanity and are insanity. Patients need healing and therapy that is integrated with medication in order to prevent their violent personality from taking over. A personality put it in the shadow for so long is not controllable by any medication alone. When I was in high school, I may have prevented a school shooting. I sat through a gym class with a misfit that had been incessantly picked on by boys and mostly girls. He was so distraught that all he could say was that he was going to bring a gun to school the next day and kill them all. I pleaded with him that it is not the solution and we can work it out in other ways. I insisted other students leave him alone as I talked to him. I convinced him not to bring a gun to school the next day. I then went to the gym teacher and told him that this guy is planning to bring a gun to school and kill people if the other students did not leave him alone. The gym teacher told me to go play in the street. This was in 1987. Now I watch over patients that are overmedicated and I rarely have more than a few moments to speak with them. Several inferences can be made from the above information. Adam Lanza and many other school shooters were being treated with medications for mental illnesses. That treatment is usually heavy on medication and light on therapy. The medications commonly prescribed in the treatment can cause violent behavior. Despite gun control laws already in place, the school shooters had relatively easy access to firearms. Preventative Measures It is clear that preventative measures need to be taken that reach much further than more gun control laws in order to reduce gun violence. It is also clear that some sort of compromise between firearm owners and those demanding stricter gun laws must be achieved. President Obama acknowledged that authorities must work to make access to mental health care at least as easy as access to a gun, and the country needs to tackle a culture that all too often glorifies guns and violence. Lawmakers in Congress have proposed reinstating the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004 and banning the sale of high capacity magazines. Wayne LaPierre of the NRA argued in a press conference today that bringing more guns and armed police officers into schools is the solution. He suggested that the problem is children exposed to violence in movies, video games and music and guns are the solution. Some states have gone as far as to propose requiring or allowing teachers to bring weapons into schools. The assault weapons ban did not prevent the Columbine massacre. The more guns in schools approach ignores statistics that have proven more guns lead to more gun violence. America does not need more militarization of public institutions, such as turning schools into virtual prisons with armed guards. Americans and their leaders need to use common sense in dealing with this issue, not knee-jerk reactions. Sensible gun control laws are already in place and a few more may not necessarily infringe on 2nd amendment rights, but the link between psychotropic medications and gun violence must be acknowledged and addressed in any new legislation. Atypical psychotropic and SSRI medications are what really need more regulation. Drug companies need to improve the black box warnings or face liability if a patient commits a violent crime due to a side effect that is not listed. Psychiatrists, psychologists and physicians need better information on these medications. Patients that are prescribed these medications could be entered into a national database. With all legally registered gun owners and all mentally ill patients on medications in national databases, the information could then be cross-referenced. A regulation that no prescriptions for psychotropic medications can be filled if firearms are kept at the residence of the patient could then be enacted and enforced. That still leaves Americans a choice: Either have your guns or your meds, but not both. If a gun owner wants themselves or a member of their household to be treated with psychotropic medications, then they should have to remove their guns from the residence or opt for inpatient care. Inpatient care could be made more accessible in these cases through an expansion of Medicaid. The same regulations that are in place for automobile ownership could also be a model for firearm ownership. Every firearm could be registered, licensed and details such as where the firearm is kept stored in a national database. States could have the option of yearly renewals with updated information. Mandatory minimum liability insurance could be a condition of gun ownership just like most states require for automobile owners. Gun owners do not seem to have a problem with those requirements in order to own and operate a motor vehicle. There should be no reason to have a problem with that regarding firearms either, since guns are not as important to own as a car. Law-abiding firearm owners in a good state of mental health, with no one on psychotropic medications in their household, would not be subject to any gun-grabbing. They can have assault weapons with high capacity magazines, as long they have liability insurance on their weapons. Most gun-owners would to retain all of their 2nd amendment rights it would just cost them more money to own firearms. People on psychotropic medications would then have more difficultly accessing firearms, which could eliminate spontaneous actions, just as the waiting period for handguns does. Liability would keep more guns under lock and key or at least carefully monitored by owners. Choosing between firearms and medications may also provide an incentive for patients and their families to seek real therapy that in many cases has proven to be more effective than medications. Two new laws two problems solved. While laws like that would raise compliance issues, law enforcement does not seem to have a problem with enforcing similar firearm restrictions in cases of domestic violence, or with anyone on probation or parole. Law enforcement can and will verify compliance in those cases and if firearms are not removed from the residence voluntarily, law officers will come by and pick them up. Of course, gun lobbyists and pharmaceutical lobbyists would scream bloody murder on Capitol Hill, but surely there would be some insurance company lobbyists behind this sort of initiative. Gun owners would also complain about the higher cost of ownership, but unlike an outright ban, it still leaves them a free market choice with their rights intact. What is most important, however, is that any new approach in terms of preventive measures is worth a try if it does not infringe on the rights of law-abiding citizens, does not lead to further militarization of public institutions and prevents the death of even one child or teacher like the 26 that died last week in Connecticut.

3	The Absurdity of the Raw Milk WarsMarcus Flores In fact, on any given day, I can go to the liquor store and purchase enough alcohol to stun or kill a herd of buffalo (actually, here in parts of South Carolina, some puritanical ordinances prohibit the purchase of alcohol on Sunday.) It is also worth noting that alcohol plays a role in over 10,000 deaths per year due todrunk driving. Yet no one rushes to Washington to ban alcohol on the basis of the statistics alone. We tacitly accept these fatalities as the negative externalities of a free society. Yet this nations laws draw an extremely bizarre moral line. You can, for example, drink to your death, but not smoke pot (on which no one has ever overdosed), yet risk life and limb sky diving or driving a race car but notsell raw milk? Of course, as with all illegal behaviors, those who drink raw milk will continue to buy and sell it despite the activitys criminal nature, and the Federal government will wage war against it. And yes, there have been causalities. Rainbow Acres knows exactly the extent to which the government will go. Federal Agents set up a yearlong sting operation, which included aliases, a 5 a.m. surprise inspection and surreptitious purchases targeting the farm over its trafficking of raw milk. A third raid occurred at Rawesome foods, a private market in California, in 2011. Owner James Stewart was arrested and held on a six figure bail (which seems no less than ridiculous). The Feds also dumped his stockor from his perspective, poured out his livelihoodand emptied his fridges. If you ever wondered why the FDA needed guns, well, thats the reason: to shut down dairy farmers. Had I a desire to vomit, I would inquire about how much these operations cost the taxpayer. But Representative Thomas Massies raw milk bill will hopefully serve as an anti-emetic to those of us made dyspeptic by this senseless regulation. You should support the bill regardless of whether youre a Democrat or a Republican. Why? A real Conservative agrees that the government should play little to no role in what we ingest. Whether you enjoy raw milk, McDonalds or Beech-Nut tobacco, your decisions about your health are your own. And for the Progressive, who believes in the guardianship of the State, the government that criminalizes cheese-making cannot be taken seriously as a moral authority.

Praised for its heartrending portrayal of a man torn between his love of the grand stage and his unshowable face, and a gripping performance by actor Dul Hill wearing several heavy pounds of head-disfiguring makeup, the movie is now up in the air due to McGee's lawsuit. 
1	Saying the option is revolutionizing the way the nations 3- and 4-year-olds prepare for the grade school years ahead, a Department of Education report released Thursday confirmed that an increasing number of U.S. toddlers are now attending online preschool. We found that a growing number of American toddlers are eschewing the traditional brick-and-mortar preschools in favor of sitting down in front of a computer screen for four hours a day and furthering their early psychosocial development in a virtual environment, said the reports author, Dr. Stephen Forrest, who said that the affordability and flexibility characteristic of online pre-primary education are what make the option most appealing, allowing young children to learn their shapes and colors on a schedule that works best for them. With access to their Show-And-Tell message boards, recess timers, and live webcams of class turtle tanks, most toddlers are finding that they can receive the same experience of traditional preschooling from the comfort of their parents living room or home office. In addition, most cited the ability to listen to their teachers recordings of story time at their own pace as a significant benefit of choosing an online nursery school. Forrest added that, despite their increasing popularity, many parents remain unconvinced that online preschools provide the same academic benefits as actually hearing an instructor name farm animals and imitate their noises in person. 
2	Fox Blackballs Donald Trump The Day Before Debate With THIS Bombshell Just two days ago, Fox News announced that Trump would be one of the ten candidates participating in the GOP debate this week. That same day, Trump held the highest numbers yet, with 26% of the vote. One month ago, he was polling in at just 11%. Some credit his no-nonsense, controversial approach with this jump. Jeb Bush is the runner-up, with 15% of the vote. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton sits at an all-time low. Trumps numbers are record breaking, marking the highest percentage of voters any GOP candidate has maintained since Fox started polling in 2013. Moreover, 34% of voters say that they will definitely vote for Trump. Thats a 26% increase from two months ago. Meanwhile, the number of voters who say they would never vote for him is down 26%. What do you think? Would you vote for Trump? 
2	LA Home That Is Practically Condemned Is Worth Half A Million What can you get in a ritzy Los Angeles neighborhood for $475,000? According to a recent listing, you can but the worst home in the beset neighborhoodwhich amounts to a 1,276 rundown fragment of a building that was originally built in 1956. Complete with exposed pipes and dark brown stains, the house is virtually unlivable. And yet it costs nearly a half million dollars. Keep in mind that the average income for a household in the area is $77,366. The average home sale price is about $345,000. Still, the man who listed the home insists that it is a great deal, calling it a contractors special and a flippers fantasy. Sounds like a massive project to us, but this is what our country is coming to. This home needs a complete rehab, the seller admits. The pictures say everything except for the fact that this home is located at the back of a cul de sac in a wonderful, well maintained neighborhood. What do you think? How would you spend a half million dollars? 
3	Heres What the Media Wont Report About the Dakota Access Pipeline OppositionBy Chris Kikila Perrin One of the unfortunate side-effects of this growing intersection is that the deeper meaning, the long-standing issues that have contributed to the confrontation, are being ignored and therefore forgotten by the press, and by those who rely on the popular media for information. By framing discussions and reporting of the Dakota Access Pipeline and Water Protectors from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and their supportersas a legal question, the mass media not only overlooks the colonial and assimilatory aspect of such arguments, they actively participate in them. That a definable rule of law, as codified by a judicial body and overseen by agents of that body (often a police force), is universal and, therefore, universally applicable, let alone fair, is a colonial construction. As actions in and around Cannon Ball escalate, there is a growing discussion in the popular press as to the legality of these actions. Treaty rights, private property, and violations like trespassing have all become central issues to how the grievances of the Water Protectors and their allies are being portrayed, particularly on the ground, ignoring the very idea that the imposition of a colonial legal structure is, by its very imposition, an act of colonization. Pre-Columbian North Americans were not a lawless group, despite such portrayal. Nor are their descendants. What was at issue during the early stages of colonization was the inability for Euro-North American governments to recognize indigenous concepts of law (Sally Falk Moore, Law as Process: An Anthropological Approach (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2000), Introduction). Imposing Euro-American legal structures on Native Americans not only created the conditions for dispossessing indigenous peoples from their traditional lands, it also set the stage for all future arguments. Basically, in creating a legal system in the European model, the U.S. is able to choose the language of all conversations it has with Native land defenders, and Native territorial disputes. It has been suggested in the press that the treaty governing the disputed territory opens the land to development, and that the Water Protectors and their allies are misinformed. Other articles argue that eminent domain was never employed in this area, pointing out that much of the property in question is private. In what is typical of the propaganda rhetoric offered by the mainstream media, it is what isnt said, or omitted, that needs clarification. Private property, insofar as this context is concerned, is a colonial import, making the point moot when talking about industrial development. That the press and conservative commentators point to the rule of law and legislation by an assimilatory judicial body as justification for continued dispossession, and the unending marginalization of alternative systems of justice, forces the conversation to take place within the colonial framework. As police escalate the violence at encampments near Cannon Ball in what can only be described as the next wave of cultural genocide through Manifest Destiny, aspects of the greater conversation over assimilation and colonialism remain off the table. At the very least, grassroots and social media have forced the issue into the mainstream. At most, the way this moment in history is represented, and the conversations this action is producing, are not addressing the underlying issues that continue to undermine reconciliation, leading to an even greater divide between the colonial government and its marginalized and forgotten citizens.

The so-called European model was not really applied in the US as we never assimilated the native populations. Instead, we made them permanent dependent aliens of the US, having a whole different set of lows from the rest of the country. Having made that blunder and not assimilating native Americans, we have set ourselves up for them to take advantage of these differences. The recent development is a United Nations push to allow native Americans to basically reclaim all their old lands, the boundaries of which we do not know, and allow them to manage all this land as if theirs. The UN gave some land back to an original native tribe in the Amazon. At gunpoint they made the residents of a town dismantle everything they owned and made them move. The land is not empty because the original tribe is , by the way, extinct. This is the UNs way of pushing humans off the land, and they truly favor lethal force to make it happen. DO not let anyone tell you that the UN is all about peace. Wherever, UN peacekeepers go, the death count rises as they shoot both sides and set up their own illegal activities in the meantime. Non-violence isnt working we need to start sabotaging that thing every way we can spend some of that money hiring Blackwater people get them out cost some lives Get on the next bus, Robin! They have the IDF there with their thick, bamboo torture, clubs, my people are bused and locked up in dog kennels with numbers, they have the Zio-NATO stormtroopers there as well. All news drones are shot out of the sky with Stinger Missiles. Massive U.S. military for an UNARMED protest. BLM was kicked out long ago as we know theyve been compromised. Theyve run over two people and injured them. Spray pepper spray into three horses eyes, who have bolted into the road and they have run them down on purpose. They have no guns to send their blessed souls on their Final Walk so those cretins do it. This is what YOU will see soon. Nothing matters until it affects YOU; so be prepared. I AM here, I have been gassed, I am through being nonviolent. 1) Native Americans never wanted to be assimilated into the rest of America, their beliefs and lifestyle is very different and should be respected. 
3	6-year-old Suspended for Pointing Finger Like a GunWJLA 
1	WASHINGTON, DCThe nation's sweeping new gun-control legislation is the result of a confidence trick pulled on President Bush by a devious rabbit, White House sources said Tuesday. The 'Coney Act,' which Bush signed into law Monday, prohibits the sale or ownership of handguns and semi-automatic weapons and enacts harsh penalties for the hunting of small game, most notably rabbits. Reporters confront Bush about his recent bamboozling by a devious rabbit (below). 'The gun ban is not the result of a change in the Republican Party's position on gun ownership,' Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) said. 'It is the product of a fraud perpetrated by a conniving rabbit, perhaps as an elaborate ruse to avoid being eaten by the president, who is much bigger and stronger than he. Through the use of quick wits and cunning, not physical strength, that dang rabbit got the best of the president.' When he heard about the bill, Frist said he 'immediately questioned its authenticity' and informed the president that its author, a 'Senator Lepus H. Coney,' was not an elected Alabama legislator. At a press conference Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan related the story of Bush's encounter with the rabbit, whom the president met in the White House's famed Rose Garden, where the rabbit was trespassing. Devious Rabbit Tricks Bush Into Signing Gun Ban 'Now, dat ole rabbit, he knew Pezziden' Bush had it in fo' him after he seed him lopin' about in his best rose bushes ez sassy ez a jackdaw,' McClellan said. 'Sez Pezziden' Bush, sezee, 'I'm gwine ter settle yo' hash, ole Rabbit. I best not cotch you in my rose patch agin, or I'll fill yo' britches wit buckshot.'' McClellan said that the rabbit, fearing for his life, devised a plan. 'Ole Rabbit got ter studyin' on da problem,' McClellan said. 'He knew his letters, so he tuck up some paper an' a pen an' commenced scratchin' away. Bimeby, he had hisse'f a right pert mess o' papers, an' so he spreaded 'em out 'pon Pezziden' Bush's writin' desk. Den he set hisse'f down on Pezziden' Bush's fanciest settin' chair es if he wuz borned to it, an' he smoked a seegyar, no less.' According to McClellan, when Bush spotted the rabbit in his chair in the Oval Office, he was 'madder'n a yaller jacket.' 'Pezziden' Bush sez, sezee, 'What you t'ink dis is yer, a frolic? I'm fetchin' mah shotgun dat da NRA done give me special fo' bein' pezziden','' McClellan said. 'Sez da rabbit, sezee, 'Hol' up dar, Pezziden' Bush. I wuz wonderin' if'n you could settle a li'l wager 'twix' me an' ole Mr. Tarrypin.'' An internal White House document details the events that led to the gun ban. According to McClellan, the rabbit then described the terms of the wager between himself and the tortoise. ''It be my hide or his shell' sez da rabbit, sezee,' McClellan said. 'Sez da rabbit, 'Ole Mr. Tarrypin, he sez dat da Pezziden' O' Da Newnited States so thick he kin scarce sign his own name. 'Course, I don' beleeve him, but ter settle da matter I got ter see it fo' myself.'' Outraged by the accusation, Bush took the rabbit's bait and signed the bill sitting on his desk. 'Bimeby, folks discovered dat, kaze o' Ole Rabbit's monkeyshines, guns wuz now banned all over Creation,' McClellan said. According to FBI sources, the cottontail rabbit is believed to have been born in the Deep South, and often employs deception as a means of self-preservation. Known to have outsmarted such adversaries as a fox, a wolf, and a bear, the rabbit is also believed to have tricked U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) into thinking that the sun was still down so that the animal could swipe vegetables from his refrigerator in May. The rabbit is also the prime suspect in the infamous April incident in which U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) lodged her head in the knot of a persimmon tree. 'Bless gracious, honey, now don' you fret none 'bout dat rabbit,' McClellan said, in response to questions about the animal's current whereabouts and whether he poses a public threat. 'Marse [Robert] Mueller'll tuck keer o' him, sho'. He gots his best field hands a-seerchin' high an' low fo' da ole scamp. I 'speck they'll tree him sho' 'nuff.' Rumors that the FBI is constructing a tar baby to catch the rabbit could not be confirmed at press time. 
2	Obama And The Pope Were Caught Doing Something DISTURBING [VIDEO] Pope Francis arrived in Washington D.C. just a few days ago, and hes already taken a position strongly behind President Obama. You remind us of the costs of war, particularly on the powerless and defenseless, and urge us toward the imperative of peace, Obama said in a public statement. You remind us that the Lords most powerful message is mercy. That means welcoming the stranger with empathy and a truly open heartfrom the refugee who flees war torn lands, to the immigrant who leaves home in search of a better life. Obama then used his faith to push his own political agenda. Holy Father, we are grateful for your invaluable support of our new beginning with the Cuban people, which holds out the promise of better relations between our countries, greater cooperation across our hemisphere, and a better life for the Cuban people, Obama concluded, before addressing the Pope once more. We support your call to all the world leaders to support the communities most vulnerable to a changing climate and to come together to preserve our precious world for future generations. Of course, Pope Francis then went on to discuss global warming. We still have the time to make the change needed, he concluded, clearly on Obamas side.

2	Michelle Obama Claims Her Life Is As Tough As A Soldiers Recently, Michelle Obama compared her life to those of American soldiers. Thats right apparently Michelle thinks that her life is comparable to the brave men and women serving our country. When Michelle was traveling to Fort Campbell, KY., she spoke to veterans about how they can be successful at finding jobs after the military. She continued on to say that before she campaigned with Barack, she didnt know much about military life. Unlike Jill, I wasnt a military mom, Michelle spoke of Joe Biden and his wife Jill, I didnt know much about the military, and I was probably more like the average American. Michelle then continued on to discuss her experience meeting military families during the campaigning, claiming, Everywhere we went, I heard the voice of a woman that I hadnt heard before, and it was your voice. And I was just awed and blown away by what I heard through those voices, the challenges you all face. While that might seem endearing, the First Lady then went on to compare her life on the campaign trail to military life. Dealing with everything that I was dealing witha spouse traveling, a job, kidswe didnt deal with multiple moves, but I learned about the challenges that happen when you move from base to base to base; the way your kids have to adjust on a dime. And doing it knowing that the person you love is in harms way. And those stories moved me in a way that I didnt expect. What do you think of Michelles comparison? Is she being nave? Are campaign life and military life comparable? 
2	School Does Unforgivable Thing To Kellyanne Conway... Look How She Fought Back According to reports, Kellyanne Conway has expressed her concern that establishment elites in Washington are so prejudiced against President-Elect Donald Trump that she wont be able to get her kids into private school in DC. If private schools actually do go after Conways children, it will solidify the new lows liberals are willing to go to make a point. Page Six reports that Conway has been calling people she knows in the area to find a place for her children to go ever since she relocated to be the Counselor to the President. I would not characterize myself as worried so much as amused by the silence and sighs on the other end of the phone when friends and allies have made preliminary inquiries on our behalf, Conway told reporters. Conway continued that while these private schools preach diversity and open-mindedness. For some, there is a comfort in the sameness, she concluded. She did note there has been a flood of people offering to help her from both parties, particularly when she was house-hunting in the area. What do you think of Conways claims? Is this absolutely outrageous?

'When we first started dating, she'd ask me to 'wash' her breasts, and I'd ask her to help me soap up my penis,' the 23-year-old Pinnock disclosed Monday. 'Now, we both mostly just clean ourselves.' 
2	Congress Turns On Obama After Putin Reveals THIS Shady Act Of Treason Putin has just accused Obama as the man behind shooting down the Russian plane. Turkey shot the plane down as the flew along its border. However, Putin gave Obama information about the flight, when and where it was heading, and believes Obama gave this information to Turkey in order to shoot down the plane. Why did we pass this information to the Americans? Either they were not controlling what their allies were doing, or they are leaking this information all over the place, said Putin. If there is a party that needs to apologize, it is not us, said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Many Americans are siding with Putin via social media. Some are speculating that Obama is doing something that no earlier administration has done. Bring us into World War III. Do you think Obama will destroy America if he isnt forced out of office by next election? 
1	WASHINGTON, DCI. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby, the indicted former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, wishes he had stopped answering to his nickname before it was featured so prominently in the news, he confided Monday. 'Scooter's fine if it's just the president or Mr. Cheney,' said Libby, whose involvement in the Valerie Plame case has made his name notorious. 'But when I see it on CNN, I want to hide.' If implicated in the Plame leak, Libby could face up to 30 years in a facility where he would almost certainly be given a new nickname. 
2	Ann Coulter Destroys Hillary With 8 Scathing Words For Running AmericaWe love Ann Coulter. Just like Donald Trump, the man she endorsed for President, she has a well-deserved reputation for telling it like it is. Shes sick of Hillarys insane lies, and shes unafraid to tell us all about it. She recently crushed Hillary over how negative and America-hating her campaign is. Said Ann: Even having predicted that the medias attacks on Trump would be unprecedented, Im still amazed. Every single news outlet is dedicated to hysterically denouncing Trump, every minute of every day, while cooing at Hillary. Everything Hillary has ever touched has failed, been engulfed in scandal, resulted in massive investigations, litigation, financial ruin, prison or death. The final stage of any Hillary enterprise is a grand announcement that Hillary did not technically break the law. Or no one can prove she did. Or, even if she did, no one ever gets prosecuted for it. Shes prone to coughing fits and lapses of memory in the middle of speeches, and falls down all the time. But thats not nearly as important as the medias manufactured story about Trump throwing a baby out of a rally! Trump is supposed to be joined at the hip to David Duke based on not disavowing him with sufficient ferocity the 17th time he was asked about this person hes never met, never mentioned and didnt invite to speak at his convention. Hillary invited the mother of violent cop-hating criminal Mike Brown to speak at her convention, and the Democratic platform expressly endorses the anti-police Black Lives Matter even as these celebrated cop haters inspire the mass slaughter of police officers across the country, in New York City, Dallas and Baton Rouge. Now we find out that another honored guest at Hillary events is the father of Omar Mateen, the Muslim jihadist who murdered 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando a few months ago. On Monday night, he attended a Hillary rally where he sat cheering, right behind her on the stage. Boom! Can you believe Hillary actually had the Orlando shooters FATHER at one of her events? How America-hating can a candidate get? This is sick! 
2	ISIS Releases Statement: We Will Attack Texas Again, We Will Kill Christians, And The Attack Will Be... Following the attacks in Garland, TX, ISIS just released a statement that they intend to continue killing Christians in America, and that the next attack will be harsher and worse. We say to the defenders of the cross, the U.S., that future attacks are going to be harsher and worseThe Islamic State soldiers will inflict harm on you with the grace of Allah. The future is just around corner, the terrorist group state on Al Bayan radio. Shoebat.com reported that the attack in Garland Texas was carried out by ISIS lone wolves. The two men involved, one of which was Elton Simpson, converted to Islam in 2010. He had links to ISIS, and was taking order from a terrorist in Minnesota, named Mohamed Abdullahi Hassan. He was know for his attempts to recruit other Americans to the cause. More than a year ago, Shoebat.com warned that ISIS was planning revenge attacks in the United States, and particularly in Texas. And now it has been revealed that Simpson was investigated in 2006, and ultimately let go. The possibility that the defendant did in fact intend to go to Somalia to engage in violent jihad exists, as the defendant never presented an alternative reason for going there, the court wrote. However, that is not the defendants burden and as stated, the Government has not established beyond a reasonable doubt that the Defendant had such intentions. This attack will likely not stand alone. According to the Texas law department, there have been several posts by jihadists expressing interest in the US-Mexican border and surrounding states, with calls for border infiltration. What do you think? Is it time we started taking these attacks seriously? 
1	Sought-after free agent pitcher Roy Oswalt said he was 'flattered and impressed' by the effort the Texas Rangers made in trying to sign him this week, but admitted he had no idea why the team made such a point of emphasizing the abundant, diverse, and thriving gay nightlife in Dallas. 'I know it's traditional to tell a guy exactly how great the team is, and what a great city it is, and stuff like that,' said Oswalt, who returned to his home in Houston Thursday night after what he called a 'stressful whirlwind tour' of the Rangers facilities and the city of Dallas proper. 'And they did that, showed me around, but kept saying how Dallas had all kinds of people, and how they were pretty accepting, and no one was going to judge me, especially because I'd be a star there. I wasn't really sure what the big idea was at first.' According to Oswalt, despite the 'kind of weird' nature of the conversation, his visit started much as any recruiting visit might. The former Astros and Phillies ace was met at the airport by team officials, including current manager Ron Washington and GM Jon Daniels, as well as two handsome, clean-cut young men who identified themselves only as 'Tex' and 'Kevin.' A visit to the Ballpark in Arlington followed, during which Washington and Daniels espoused the benefits of living in an 'exciting and open-minded' town such as Dallas, and Tex and Kevin repeatedly asked to see his arm, praised its muscularity, and offered to rub it or ice it down if needed. 'Then,' Oswalt said, 'oh, God, then they took me out on the town.' The Rangers reportedly had prepared a tour of Dallas nightlife they thought would prove irresistible to Oswalt, taking him to a series of 'cowboy bars' and 'denim clubs' they had evidently decided would appeal to his rural, working-class tastes. 'I know it's traditional to buy a guy a steak and show him a good time, but, uh, that waswell, it was real different,' said Oswalt, who admitted 'everyone was real nice and everything' the entire time. 'The food at the Havana Lounge was great, I like Cuban and all, but they It really wasn't my kind of place. And then they took me to this place called Zippers, and that wasn't my kind of place at all.' 'Not at all,' Oswalt added. After determining Oswalt was in fact highly uncomfortable in the loud, humid, smoke-filled men-only strip club, Daniels and Kevin decided to take him to 'someplace a little more laid back.' After Oswalt repeatedly said he 'only wanted to sit down with a beer and hear some music,' the group wound up at the Round-Up Saloon, a large, friendly place considered Dallas' best gay music bar. 'Daniels kept saying that money wasn't a problem, that I'd fit in real well with their rotation, and that Dallas was like Houston, but with better restaurants and a little bit more leather,' Oswalt said. 'I was like, Man, I've been married to my high school sweetheart all my life. Do you understand what I'm saying?' Daniels responded by taking Oswalt to Sue Ellen's, considered one of the best lesbian bars in Texas, and asking the pitcher if that was the sort of thing his wife had in mind. At press time, the Rangers and Cardinals are considered the frontrunners to sign Oswalt, who is expected to command an annual salary in the range of $8 million to $10 million. Oswalt is also reportedly considering a deal with the Baltimore Orioles, who have invited the right-hander to come tour Camden Yards and the city's burgeoning S&M scene. 
3	What Really Happened to Monica Quan and Keith Lawrence? Was an Innocent Man Barbecued at Big Bear?Ruth Hull In Californias new criminal justice program, a lot of money is theoretically saved by not having to worry about investigations paperwork, discovery, hearings, the cost of a jury, judicial salaries, clerks salaries, reporters salaries, executioners salaries and so forth. Given that nobody has been executed in CA in years, the barbecue technique is the most certain and fastest way to the particular goal of terminating a California resident with prejudice in theory. So now, we can forget about irrelevant details like the Constitutions of the United States and the State of California, the California Penal Code, and the beyond-a-reasonable-doubt standard. At this point, it probably doesnt make any sense to ask who really killed Monica Quan and Keith Lawrence. After all, with the execution over and done with, why should anyone care what happened to these individuals? Its not my problem or yours. The media is busy making money off the uncorroborated and unsupported official story. But if you are crazy like me and still think that that two-and-a-quarter-century-old document called the Constitution matters, you might be interested in finding out what really happened to these two lovebirds. Under the official story, at 9:10 P.M on February 3, 2013 a couple, walking through the upper floor (roof level) of the parking garage at 2100 Scholarship, Irvine CA, spotted a man and woman slumped over inside a car that reportedly belonged to Keith Lawrence. This is a security garage. To get in through either the car gates or the pedestrian entrance, a remote control or a code is required. This means, in all likelihood, someone let the assailant into the garage. This writer got in, but this writer is not a big Black guy in a million dollar area of one of the most racist counties in America. While there may not have been much in the way of cameras, there were lights including one right where Keith parked. Another interesting fact is that no shots were heard by any of the tenants. Unless Arlen Specter wants to return from the dead and present another miracle bullet theory, there would have been at least two shots. The coroners report stated there were multiple gunshot wounds. (Source) As there were no shots heard, did the murders even take place in the garage? It is a large condominium complex with a great many people, most of whom have a handy pair of things called ears. Also, some of the residents have dogs and dogs often react to noises like firecrackers and guns shots, thereby bringing these matters to the attention of their owners. The lack of noise and lack of any evidence of gunfire in the parking garage would make sense if Monica and Keith had been killed elsewhere and then driven back to the parking garage with the killer using the remote to drive the couple up to the top floor? Did Keith have any enemies he might have met with elsewhere? Adding to the oddities is that nobody at the condo seemed to have known the couple but had only heard about them after the shooting. It was reported that they had rented a one-bedroom apartment and this was why one of their cars had to be parked in the guest parking on the roof. This also explains why the Orange County Assessor and Recorder have no property records for either Monica Quan or Keith Lawrence in Orange County. As eager as the police seemed to be to convict Chris Dorner in the press without a trial, why would they not have released a video of Chris Dorner walking or driving away from the condo parking garage or of going to the parking garage earlier. (If he had returned the bodies in Keiths car to the garage, he would have likely left by foot.) Whoever planned this out, may have noticed that there were no visible cameras in the parking garage at 2100. However, anyone entering or leaving would be seen from the video camera across the street at the 3000 building. According to Chris, a member of the plain clothes security detail across the street, the police confiscated the video. (Shades of 9/11/2001) According to various published accounts, down the street from the parking garage lived Captain Phil Tingirides with his wife Emada (a Sergeant on the LAPD) and six children. He worked with Monicas father and also happened to be the chairman of the three-man committee that stripped Dorner of his badge for reporting another officer for misconduct. Dorner would have turned over to Tingirides the badge that was found in a dumpster either near the San Diego airport (near Harbor Island) (source)or in National City (source)or both. Though Captain Tingirides had a long-term marriage and six kids and (according to most media covering his connection) lived on that same streetin that million dollar residential area, the records of the Orange County Assessor and Recorder show that he owns no property in Orange County. (Source) Here is what the public is expected to believe. In a million dollar neighborhood in a racist area of the country, a large Black man breaks into a secured garage and is allowed by a police officer (who theoretically knows hes hostile) to walk up to the officers car under a bright light and shoot the officer and his girlfriend (also from a police background) while nobody hears any shots and then departs, going both in and out of the garage in front of a video camera. Of course, the police (who want us to believe this) have failed to release the video footage that would show they were right about it being Chris Dorner who did all this. When you add this improbable scenario to the unlikely ending at Big Bear (see Chris Dorner: Crazed Killer, Innocent Hero or Neither?), this begins to look less and less like real life and more and more like a poorly written movie plot.

1	An ingenious new device has taken the architectural world by storm, and homeowners are voicing a common cry: 'We want Floors!' Theodore Ambrose's new invention, the 'Floor,' will enable people to spend sustained periods of time in their kitchens and living rooms, no longer plummeting straight to the basement upon entering the house. The 'Floor,' a rigid, horizontal, platform-like device installed seven to ten feet above the basement, permits people to remain suspended above the basement area, rather than plunging straight downward, as was inevitable before. 'In my research, I found that gravity was the number one culprit in basement fallage,' said Floor inventor Theodore Ambrose, an MIT graduate with a doctorate in physics. 'Persons with mass, which is virtually everyone, were drawn toward the Earth's center, and therefore toward their basements, by gravity. My concept places an object between the individual and the basement, keeping them a fixed distance apart.' In the past, persons entering their homes plummeted straight to the basement, unable to reach the living areas of their house. Moving any belongings indoors was similarly problematic. 'All our stuff used to end up in a heap in the basement,' Floor owner Gail Holloway said. 'Our lives were very much basement-oriented.' 'I based my design on the horizontal nature of the bottom of the basement,' Ambrose explained. 'I wondered, why do things fall to the basement, but no further? After some preliminary diagrams, I was ready to construct my first crude prototype.' That prototype was a network of ropes stretched across the top of the basement, which homeowners could walk across to reach other areas of the house. 'It worked moderately well, but some people, particularly the elderly, could not keep their balance on the precarious network,' Ambrose said. 'Also, their possessions remained in the basement where they could not readily reach them.' An oversized lazy-susan-type disc that spun rapidly like an amusement park ride came closer still, but as Ambrose observed, 'People and things were propelled into the walls, which was not markedly better than the basement situation.' After several failed tries, Ambrose finally hit upon inspiration. 'Desperate, I looked up to the ceiling. The ceiling, and its function, struck me. It keeps the shingles on the roof, and motionless as well. I thought, what if the same principle were applied to an area lower in the house? What if there was some sort of basement ceiling?' Four years later, the Floor was born. When Ambrose introduced his concept at a trade show, construction firms were skeptical at first, thinking it a novelty upon which consumers would not want to spend hundreds of dollars. Only after one of Ambrose's satisfied neighbors put up his own money, Floor Industries was established on a $30,000 mortgage. Today, thousands of homes have had floors installed, and the orders keep coming. The business world has caught on to the concept as well, with the Sears Tower in Chicago adding hundreds of high-tech Floors. 'This should make working here much more pleasant,' said Sears Tower official Hal Gabriel. 'Until now, the interior of the skyscraper was a jumbled mass of equipment and moaning bodies piled up to the eighth floor. Very little work was possible under these circumstances. Now, everyone who works in the building will be able to access an assigned Floor, around which their work will be centered. The building's mortality rate should decrease to virtually zero.' Ambrose warns consumers of counterfeit Floors being produced in the Far East. Often made of shoddy materials like balsa wood or plastic foam, these knock-offs are not only illegal, but also dangerous. Safety experts caution that extreme weight can punch holes in these cheaper surfaces, which makes the Floor less effective against gravity. So what is the self-made millionaire working on now? 'I'm tinkering with the idea of some sort of button you can push that will make appliances go on,' Ambrose said. 'I've noticed appliances are not useful, and I'd like to do something about that.' 
2	THIS IS IT...Video Leaks That Will Ruin Hillary Clintons Campaign [VIDEO] This has not been the best week for presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton. To start things off, shes been under investigation for her private email server, and so far, the number of emails containing classified information is up to 305. Thats in spite of numerous claims that shes made saying that she has never had classified emails on the server. As if that werent enough, Hillarys poll numbers are at an all time low, dipping below 50 percent. And only 2% of Americans believe shes telling the truth about the investigation. Now, an ad from conservative America Rising PAC is quickly breaking apart the story she is trying to tell America. 
2	Huma Abedin Single Handedly Just Brought Down The Entire Clinton Campaign... Its Much Worse Than We Thought In the summer of 2013, Hillary Clinton had just left the State Department and returned to New York. She was determined to latch on to her high approval ratings and lay the foundation for a second presidential run. Thats when Anthony D. Weiner happened. The husband of Clintons closest aide, Huma Abedin, was running for mayor of New York when it was revealed that he had continued to exchange lewd messages with women online even after the practice cost him his congressional seat. The incident brought Abedins relationship with Clinton into the spotlight, and Clinton was once again making headlines for sexual indiscretions. Now, just weeks away from the election, Weiner has pulled her into yet another one of his dramas. Federal investigators are looking into his sexual messaging with an underage girls, and they just happened to stumble across thousands of emails that are potentially pertinent to the FBI investigation of Clintons private email server. This was disturbing for many reasons. Americans are not happy that the Clintons have a continued behavior of standing behind those who have committed dangerous sexual or financial acts. That doesnt align well with Hillarys message about empowering women. In fact, many of Clintons friends have suggested she distance herself from Abedin. Still, she kept Abedin close by her side as she prepared to make a statement about the new revelation to the media. We of course stand by her, her campaign chairman, John D. Podesta, said on Saturday when he was asked whether Abedin would step down. The question on many Americans minds now is whether Clintons loyalty to Abedin would inspire her to bring her friend (and her drama) into the White House if she wins the presidency. What do you think? Do we need to keep Clinton and her friends far away from the White House? 
2	BREAKING: Chicago Trump Rally Cancelled For THIS Sick Reason... Look Whose Behind It According to recent reports, GOP front-runner Donald Trump was forced to cancel a rally scheduled for Friday night at the University of Illinois in Chicago due to conflict between thousands of supporters and protesters inside and outside the venue. The tension was so high that authorities were concerned the area was not longer safe. Of course, that excitement only escalated after news broke that the event was canceled. A Fox reporter who was there at the scene asked one protester about her intentions. She responded that she was glad the people of Chicago came out and showed [Trump] exactly how we feel about him. She also claimed it was beautiful that they were able to shut the rally down. Among the protesters was liberal domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. The far-left organization MoveOn.org also claimed responsibility for the disruption. The group, who is full of Bernie supporters, held campaign signs and chanted Bernie at one point. CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) March 12, 2016 Trump also took to Twitter to weigh in on the matter, and a spokesman confirmed that the rally will be rescheduled for a later date. Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 12, 2016 What do you think? Is this only likely to escalate as Trump gets nearer to the presidency? Its clear that liberals are terrified.

Schwartz then made a final charge at the television before collapsing dejectedly into a recliner. 
1	After centuries of suffering, the people of the world will finally have some much-needed relief from the offending filth of the seemingly ubiquitous Irish. The remedy: a new, freshly scented deodorant soap developed specifically with malodorous Irish riff-raff in mind. A powerful new green and white soap, specifically designed to evoke memories of a long-lost mythical Irish arcadia, is expected to prove enticing enough to the filthy Irish that they will actually begin bathing themselves. The soap, an exciting logo-embossed consumer product featuring rich lather, an outdoorsy spring-breeze scent and a revolutionary two-deodorant composition, will come in a visually enticing green/white marbled color combination deliberately designed to attract persons of Irish descent by appealing subconciously to deeply rooted cultural signifiers. 'In addition to being doubly powerful in fighting odor-causing Irishness, the soap possesses a specially patented, evocative, whimsical image, invoking memories of a long-lost mythical Irish arcadia, where the Irish gripped blades of grass in their clenched teeth and bathed in the icy waterfalls of dew-dappled woodland ponds, and everything smelled wonderfulso unlike the Ireland of today,' said Rodger Watkins, co-chair of the soap development team. 'At last,' Watkins continued, 'decent folk will be able to go outside without having to hold scarves to their noses whenever a swarthy, drunken, potato-gorged bricklayer ambles their way. Now the Irish will have a tolerableperhaps even pleasingscent bleeding from their pasty, sweaty persons.' Under a new mandate just passed by the U.N. General Assembly, tubs of water and bars of soap will be delivered to all Irish households with clear instructions on appropriate bathing habits. The instructions will be in pictogram form to ensure comprehension on the part of the typically ignorant Irish. 'Although many forms of soap have been developed in the history of science, and good ones at that, they were simply not effective enough to cleanse the citizens of the Emerald Isle,' Watkins said. 'Once they wash themselves fully with this soap and rinse off, their abominable stench will be virtually gone.' The turtleneck-clad scientist explained that the precise formulation of ingredients leaves all who use it, even the Irish, 'Fresh and clean as a whistle.' The soap's breakthrough secret, said Watkins: 'two deodorants.' Watkins demonstrated the innovation by displaying a bar of the soap and cutting a sliver off with a knife. A look at the interior of the bar revealed clearly defined streaks of green and white, with the colors serving as a visual representation of the two odor-fighters. Since the inside of the bar looked exactly like the exterior surface, it was unclear exactly what this method of demonstration was intended to accomplish. Witnesses agreed, however, that the knife's usage conveyed a spirit of manly, outdoorsy virility. 'After that display, I almost want to buy the product myself... and I'm not even Irish!' said observer Sharon Lowenstein, hastily adding that she would never actually humiliate herself that way, and would of course continue using only the proper Jewish-themed soap she'd used for years. The plan has met with some resistance, particularly in the Irish community itself. 'Begorrah,' Dublin native Seamus O'Finley said. 'Oi would sooner snuggy up ter a bumblebee dan dunk me hoide in dat dere bathwash. Noo, surr. Th' best perfoom fer old Seamus be da Earth wot God done made his own self.' Per the new U.N. statute, O'Finley was forcibly dunked in a vat of hot water by police and scrubbed until pink. O'Finley was then issued new, clean clothing, while his grimy, sweat-stained outfit of a shirt, breeches and tiny green bowler with a shamrock tucked into the band were confiscated. He was permited to keep his clay pipe. 'The rebellious and confrontational nature of the Irish will be a problem,' said Chicago Chief of Police Thomas Franck, whose city is home to more than a million Irish. 'But that's what billy clubs are for.' Chicago mayor Richard Daley is tremendously excited about the new soap as well. 'We've got a lot of Irish here, that's for sure,' he said. 'And hooo-wheee, on a hot day, they can smell 'em in Decatur.' 
1	Calling his flamboyant air and effeminate mannerisms 'a bit forced,' friends of recently out-of-the-closet homosexual Mark Glynn, 23, say he's overdoing it. Glynn rollerblades in one of his new ensembles. 'When Mark first told us he was gay, everybody was totally cool with it,' longtime friend Rich Eddy said. 'We figured he'd basically be the same old Mark, except he'd be dating guys. Boy, were we wrong.' Though Glynn's friends expected him to become comfortable and open with his sexuality, they did not expect him to go to such great lengths to proclaim his preference for men at every conceivable turn. 'We just figured he'd start saying stuff to us at bars like, 'Check out that cute guy's butt,'' Eddy said. 'But he takes pains to telegraph his gayness 24 hours a day. Last night, a bunch of us were talking about what's going on with Bush and Iraq, when, out of nowhere, he says, 'You know what Bush needs? A good ass-fucking. That'd relax him.' It's like, 'Okay, Mark, we get it alreadyyou're gay.'' Continued Eddy: 'It's like he's scared that if he doesn't wear hot pants and say 'You go, girl!' a lot, somebody might think he's straight.' Lydia Richter, another longtime friend of Glynn's, has also noticed the change. 'We can't have a conversation without him mentioning some aspect of gay culture,' Richter said. 'No matter what it isart, comedy, movies, restaurants, philosophyhe goes off on how it affects him as a gay man. Mark, we've accepted that you like the dick, so just shut up and be gay already.' Even Andrew Storch, a gay coworker of Glynn's who recently went on several dates with him, said Glynn is 'laying on the gay a little heavy.' 'After Mark came out, he said he'd been attracted to me for a long time,' Storch said. 'We went out a few times, but he constantly acted like he had something to prove. Everywhere he went, he was mincing around like RuPaul at Wigstock. And, Lord, you should have seen the shoes he was wearing on our second date. I realize he's excited about being out of the closet, but you don't have to make up for those lost years of gayness all at once.' Added Storch: 'I hope I wasn't like that when I came out.' Of all the aspects of Glynn's life, friends say his wardrobe has undergone the most drastic change. Instead of wearing khakis and understated dress shirts, Glynn now opts for brightly patterned sleeveless T-shirts and tight short-shorts. 'Two weeks after he came out, he showed up at a party in little pink biker shorts and an open button-down shirt with nothing on underneath,' Eddy said. 'This is a guy who once said wearing blue jeans made him feel 'weird.' Now, he says he's saving up to buy a whole leather get-up with harnesses and metal studs. I don't know where he got the idea that real gay people actually wear that stuff in their daily lives.' Glynn has adopted a number of other stereotypically gay affectations, including finger-snapping, a 'swishy' walk, and calling everyone 'sweetie' or 'girlfriend.' 'I guess he's picking it up from some of the gay guys he meets when he goes out, but it's just not him,' Storch said. 'A few times, I've actually caught him doing the limp-wrist thing. All that's missing is the lisp.' Even Glynn's drinking habits have taken on a gay tone. 'Mark used to be a single-malt scotch drinker,' Eddy said. 'Now it's Cosmos or Mai Tais. I didn't realize that liking men altered your taste buds.' According to Dirk Yunger, author of You're Here, You're Queer, Get Used To It: The New Millennium Guide To Coming Out Of The Closet, it is common for 'late bloomers' like Glynn to over-embrace homosexuality. 'Mark has been hiding his true sexuality for so long, he can't help but want to shout it out to the world,' Yunger said. 'His friends should give him time to figure out how his newfound sexual openness will fit into his larger persona. Eventually, he will level out and become more like the Mark they used to know.

The emails,posted by the site DCLeaks, show correspondence between General Philip M. Breedlove, former head of the US European Command and supreme commander of NATO forces, with several establishment insiders concerning the situation in Ukraine following the February 2014 coup that ousted the elected government in favor of a US-backed regime, accordingto reports. The emails expose Breedloves frequent communication withGeneral Wesley Clark, as well as former Secretary of State Colin Powell, and involving a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, State Department official Victoria Nuland, and US Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt. The communications are nothing short of Breedlove seeking advice on how to essentially start World War III. Below is an example of one of the emails.I seek your counsel on two fronts,. how to frame this opportunity in a time where all eyes are on ISIL all the time, and two, how to work this personally with the POTUS, Breedlove wrote to Powell in September 2014. I think POTUS sees us as a threat that must be minimized, ie do not get me into a war???? Breedlove wrote in an email to Harlan Ullman, senior adviser to the Atlantic Council, describing his ongoing attempt to get Powell to help him influenceObama. Given Obamas instruction to you not to start a war, this may be a tough sell, Ullman replied a few months later, in another string of emails about Breedloves effort to leverage, cajole, convince or coerce the U.S. to react to Russia, as reported by the Intercept. According to The Intercept: Breedlove did not respond to a request for comment. He stepped down from his NATO leadership position in May and retired from service on Friday, July 1. Breedlove was a four-star Air Force general and served as the 17th Supreme Allied Commander of NATO forces in Europe starting on May 10, 2013. The last conversation I had about it with General Breedlove, he said, Yeah, Ive been hacked several times, said Karber. He added that he noticed at least one of his personal emails appearing online from the leak before we had contacted him. I turned this over to the U.S. government and asked them to investigate. No one has given me any answer. I have no idea whose account was leaked or hacked, said Powell, when reached for comment about the emails. Powell said he had no comment about the discussions regarding Obamas response to the conflict in Ukraine. In the European press, Breedlove has been portrayed as a hawkish figure known for leaning on allied nations to ditch diplomacy and to adopt a more confrontational role again Russian-backed separatists in Ukraine. Breedlove, testifying before Congress earlier in February of this year, called Russia a long-term existential threat to the United States and to our European allies. Der Spiegel reported that Breedlove stunned German leaders with a surprise announcement in 2015 claiming that pro-Russian separatists had upped the ante in eastern Ukraine with well over a thousand combat vehicles, Russian combat forces, some of the most sophisticated air defense, battalions of artillery sent to Donbass, a center of the conflict. The Russians referred to last month as the summer of provocation, and called the NATO war games a move to reignite the Cold War intended to force Moscow to starve its domestic economy to ramp up its military to meet a growing external threat. Russia is not alone in their assertion either as the Intercept pointed out. German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told Bild am Sonntag newspaper this week that these ostensible war games are little more than warmongering. What we shouldnt do now is inflame the situation further through saber-rattling and warmongering, Mr Steinmeier said in an interview to be published in Germanys Bild am Sontag newspaper. Whoever believes that a symbolic tank parade on the alliances eastern border will bring security is mistaken, Steinmeier said ahead of the upcoming NATO summit in Warsaw beginning July 8. We are well-advised to not create pretexts to renew an old confrontation, he emphasized. Rather than risk inflaming the already-volatile situation further through saber-rattling and warmongering, there needs to be more dialogue and cooperation with Moscow, Steinmeier said. It would be fatal to now narrow the focus to the military, and seek a remedy solely through a policy of deterrence, German FM said, calling to give way to diplomacy instead of military posturing. The alliance should also consider the possibility to renew discussions about the benefits of disarmament and arms control for security in Europe, he said. In spite of NATO spokesperson Oana Lungescu saying the alliances actions are defensive, proportionate, and in line with our international commitments, Russia has done absolutely nothing to provoke such a response. The real intent behind this saber rattling is expanding military spending and bolstering the U.S. war machine. Retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski recently offered pertinent insight as to why Russia continues to be so vilified by the Pentagon and American media alike: The Pentagon needs and wants Russia to be the next big enemy that they are arming against it, budgeting against it, that they are targeting. Certainly, we have talked for a long time about China and China plays an important role as the enemy of choice for the U.S. military. But Russia is ideal in part, because we dont import a lot of things from Russia, in part because we dont have the debt relationship with Russia that we do with China. So, Russia makes for a very convenient enemy for the Pentagon in terms of its mission, its budgeting, and its intelligence organization. The Pentagon needs that kind of enemy, Kwiatkowski continued. And [U.S. Secretary of Defense] Ashton Carter, if you listen to what he says continually even from the beginning of time he was put in office his job is fundraising, just like the university presidents job is not education but rather fundraising. Ashton Carters job is also fundraising, and he fundraises through this process of identifying, pushing, and delivering up an enemy that will justify their budgets. Prior to the German FM speaking out about this overt saber rattling, the only ones defending the Russians were the Russians. Now that a U.S. ally is applying sensible logic to the scenario, the antagonistic intentions of the military-industrial complex are laid bare. Unfortunately, the U.S., in its flagrant and irresponsible creation of the worlds largest military, cares not about starting actual world wars in their attempts to enrich their corporate masters. These hacked emails only add credence to this notion. When the chickens come home to roost, however, the result of such belligerent foreign policy will be death and destruction on a massive scale.

Follow @MattAgorist Its a about death to all from the NWO, using the U.S. military as their own mercenary force. Sodom Hussein Obama could not get Congressional support for an invasion of Syria. If he could, he would Puzzle piece number 1. Why are we being told about these 51 State Department dissenters ? Obviously because Obamas State Department wants us to be told. Puzzle piece number 2. Why is this story being pushed as the Saudi Prince who would be king is visiting with Obama ? Sauds want Assad gone so an oil pipeline can be built. Russians have stated that attacking Assad means war. Why start war with Russia ? Puzzle piece number 3. Hillary still controls the State Department. Or at least her people are still there. Russia is on the verge of releasing the emails they hacked before Hillary deleted them. The oil pipeline is what drives the Sauds and Qataris. Retaining control of US foriegn policy is what drives Hillarys flying monkeys. Along with the millions the Saudis have paid her. The U.S. State Dept. has been infested with communists since WW1 and Woodrow Wilson, they tried to steal the Russian elections for their comrades in the Russian Communist Party through non-profit n.g.o.s just like at home in America But Vladimir Putin beat them, so they launched a fggot jihad against the Russian Orthodox church over the punk rock band and the Olympics (something Btch Romney stupidly piled onto) Miss neo-kabbalah lesbian Madonna, now rumored to be a Muslim convert, was flown in to agitate while Hillary was on a world-wide gay pride tour. When the Iron Curtain came down the Bolsheviks all fled to the other side because they knew what the Russians would do to them after 100 years of communism. The best thing about Russia getting Crimea back Catherine the Great took it from the Turks What happened right after Russia retook Crimea? The Russian FSB searched all the Turks living there Why? Because NATO sponsors Islamist terrorism when it suits them to. The EUSSR needed Libyas oil, but Muammar Gadaffi decided he wanted gold instead of worthless fiat currency from the EU What was the first thing NATO did when Gaddafi was deposed besides stealing all of Libyas gold? Form a new government? NOPE, they formed a new Libyan national bank. Now, why would they do that? Because even if Muammar was deposed, he and his heirs would still be the sole proprietors! (While Leon Puettas was so busy with gay pride celebrations at the Pentagon, three Navy Seals and a U.S. ambassador were murdered, all because everyone was being so fcking gay.) Like with the nonsense in Syria, the U.S. State Department armed terrorist rebels to get rid of Gadaffi, the same ones that killed Ambassador Stevens and stole weapons from that secret armory in the basement It was easy to dispose of the hated Muammar Gaddafi, but Bashar al Assad has friends Syria and Ukraine are the same scenario as Serbia NATO bombed Serbia so the IMF could make loans for rebuilding and get control of Serbian iridium assets. Albanian Muslims operate human slaughterhouses in Kosovo where they rip out the organs of Christians to sell to Turkey and Saudi Arabia How is Hillary Clintons reset button working out for America, comrades? Infested with dual citizens,more correctly Not impressed with the resume;Tim McVeigh was an Iraq War Vet too. So friggin what? This article only proves you have nuts everywhere. Russia hasnt been aggressive at all, much? Buzzing inviting their planes to be shot down.invading Ukraine, taking Crimea. Come on. It is Russias own actions under dictator Putin that has prompted the policynot some other thing. In fact, the policy was being reversed just when Russia started its latest hegemony in Europe. So knock off the paranoid crap already. Invading Ukraine? Thank you for pointing out that anyone that believes that nonsense is a fool. Taking Crimea? Has anyone ever seen an invasion and taking of a part of a country where not one shot is fired, not one person is killed and the largest majority of the voters agree with the taking? Not a shot was fired huh? What world are YOU living in? I guess all those tanks and artillery was just what is it called in the culta false flag?? And you know what? If Wall Street took over the U.S.and it didand a majority of voters agreed with the takingand they didit didnt mean it didnt happen. Talk to the thousands of Ukrainians whose lives have been shattered due to the war. I will also remind you of the title of the factfinding that Nemtsov was compiling which told the truth about all of this:Putin. War. Yes indeed. Parts of the war may have met no resistance. That makes it less of an invasion, yes? Nyet!! Go drink the koolaid somewhere else and tell us your Pravda propaganda somewhere else. You have a Koolaid IV bubba.Ukraine wa just another failed regime change by DC/neocons.Another in a long line,I might add DC/Neocons eh? Failed regime change? Was it failed when the Russian backed guy hightailed it out? That was the failed regime change you are speaking of? Funny you say everything but American Nazis always mentioned by the Pravda Propagandists. Maybe you intended to include that phrase too? Oh and this was all done under Obama, and there were no DC/Neolibs involved? Hahahaha thanks for the entertainment at least!!! Someone needs to change YOUR IV and soon!! Go drink somewhere else? What, and leave ignorant, sanctimonious people like you behind? You had better start reviewing the situation because you obviously missed most of what actually took place. When ukraine was deliberately destabilized by the US State Department and numerous phoney America NGOs, it actually had a nascent democracy and therefore a legal way of removing corrupt leaders. Instead Victoria Nuland and her foolish cohorts fostered a coup which killed a lot of people, some of whom were burned alive by the Right Sektor whom you treat as if they didnt exist. Where was Russia in all of this? Caught surprised as were everyone else except of course the American plotters. Putin had just negotiated a huge billion dollar loan to Ukraine to help it through its immediate financial troubles and of course had been supplying petroleum products to Ukraine for years without payment. The illegal US funded coup installed an illegitimate government in Kiev that was diplomatically recognized immediately by the US (as if you needed any other proof of American complicity in the creation of yet another failed state). The former Ukraine Eastern provinces (Donbass etc.) refused to accept a pseudo government created by violence and not in keeping with the constitution of Ukraine. Now that is where bullets were flying but that is not what I was speaking of, which was Crimea and its separation from Ukraine, once more coming under the governance of Russia where it had been for three hundred years. Crimea left Ukraine without a shot being fired, get that? No lives lost, no infrastructure destruction (sorry America you didnt get to shoot up yet another foreign entity, Crimea). You are a bait and switch type guy:Eastern Ukraine was invaded. Artillery, bullets, tanks, death. Get that? Crimea had no shots fired because it was a stealth operation. You dont get that so too bad for you. Now, otherwise you spout the propaganda of Russia precisely, which has no basis in fact. Add to that the Russian installed guy at the end of this coup which you falsely claim was fostered by U.S. who fled the country after some period of time because he was corrupt. But that doesnt figure into anything either in your propagandistic B.S. narrative. Go be a paid troll for Pravda, comrade!! Wow, your response is truly imbecilic. No wonder the US is in such desperate straits with ignorami like you running around. And do you believe your use of the word ignorami renders you a great intellect and someone with great knowledge? There is no such a word. Then again, great minds like yours can invent words just to make themselves appear not to be as foolish as they are. LMAO You obviously didnt take Latin in High School, or did you even go to High School? In Latin the word ignoramus is the singular for a very ignorant person, the plural of that word is ignorami! So we should all speak in Latin then? No not everyone took Latin anywhere(that are still alive and breathing, that is). Dominus Vom Biscum, Et Tu Spiritu Santum. Ahhhhhmen. Perhaps it would be better if we all spoke in pig latin. LMAO You missed the t in Sanctum! Dont trust Russians? Well in 1976, good old Scoop was actually speaking of Soviets, not Russians per se. There are no more Soviets, that regime imploded over 20 years ago. You are now dealing with Russians and a strong Russian President who will not be threatened, blackmailed or intimidated. I have the intense feeling that is what irks you so much. Imagine someone with the intestinal fortitude to stand up to the Worlds bully. What a nerve huh? Yesso the wealthy judo wrestling bare chested horseback riding leader of Russia annexed Crimea, started war in Eastern Ukraine whilst sending soldiers in who wouldnt even identify themselves as suchand that was perfectly fine because the nation invited them in, is that your line of faulty reasoning? No one disputes your rendering of history, but who do you think shot down the commercial airliner off Kamchatka that was accidentally over Soviet territory? And what is that territory called today? Now, the naming of what things are is not the crux of this debate. What you are talking about is repeating nearly the exact phrases published on Pravda which is a known propaganda machine of the Kremlin. So that means that everyone who states this fact is an ignoramus. Not so. Who is the worlds bully today, after the taking of Crimea, the war in Eastern Ukraine which rages on, the turmoil in Syria and Turkey where Russians refuse to agree on a stretegy to go after ISIS, and the buzzing of ships by Russia of our Navy over international waters within 30 feet? I tell you this.while there cannot be a disagreement over the policies USA had in Iraq and continues to have in Afghanistanespecially with the announcement that Obama isnt going to pull out there at allthe title for worlds bully is very much up for grabs based on the behavior of The Russian Federation forces today. As for my poor repetition of Latin, I only recall the sayings when the Mass was said in Latin, and that was the mid-1960s when that last happened, so perhaps I can be forgiven. ; OO Most of your comments, I have already responded to but Korean Airlines Fight 007 was shot down by the Soviets, you know, that Communist regime that is now gone. For goodness sake, the US shortly thereafter shot down an Iranian Commercial jet liner with over two hundred people on board, killing them all, so these things do happen on both sides of the equation. You do understand that the illegitimate Kiev government sent its Right Sektor and military to the East to fight the people living there. No Russian military or Eastern states militias journeyed to Kiev or the Western Ukrainian provinces to attack and invade. That was left to Kiev and only Kiev and only in the East. Once more your information is faulty about Turkey and Syria. Russia was invited into Syria to assist Assad and the de facto and de jure government to fight ISIS and other American funded and supported terrorists, attempting to destroy a secular Syria and make it into an extremist Muslim theocracy. The uninvited US has been supposedly fighting ISIS for two years in Syria and not even causing them a nosebleed for Heavens sake. In fact ISIS actually grew in numbers and strength until Russia said, enough is enough and within two months of fighting ISIS has them on the run much to the chagrin of the US. That information is readily available on the Net. you dont have to read Pravda for any of it. As far as buzzing US ships, the Russians are putting on a little show to make sure the Americans understand that if they try any funny business when within 30 kilometres of Russian borders on the Black Sea they will be dealt with. Whether it was the Soviets or the Russian Federation, the military HQ is still Moscow. Moscow. Get it? The same folksthey just switched names and emblems in 1991. You can call them clouds and it doesnt make a dimes worth of difference. It is the same paranoid folks who keep accusing The West of plotting things that are never plotted. Its a narrative used to propagate propaganda and do all kinds of things that otherwise no one in their OWN country would PERMIT them to do. So you are just plain wrong to make such a big point on that. You keep calling the Kiev government illegitimate. You have no basis upon which to do soexcept the constant drumbeat of lies fostered and propagated by Russia and its own propaganda. In no way was the Kiev government illegitimate when you proclaim it was. For heavens sakeat one point a Russian puppet leader was installed. Only after he was found to be corrupt and fled the country did the Russians then proclaim the government to be illegitimate. The issue was siding with NATO or Western culture, which Russians could never permit or tolerate. That was always the issue and they dreamed up a bunch of propaganda to villify the big bad West over Ukraine. You swallowed their pablum hook, line, and sinker. Repeating the propaganda a billion times doesnt turn the lies into truth. Although Hitler and the Nazis found it an effective technique, just as Putin and his minions are finding this in more contemporary times. You really should grow up. A person who has matured might be able to understand that the America you live and breathe for is a myth and has been for many decades. the Russians are not the Soviets. The Russians were subject to Soviet Communism and they overcame it. To say they are the same as the Soviets is so beyond ridiculous that I am shocked that anyone thinks that! The US was responsible for ISIS. That is a given and is not even controversial. It is simply true. The CIA sponsored al Queda and the Taliban as freedom fighters to keep the Soviets from taking over Afghanistan. After the Soviets were thrown out the US allowed these two groups of freedom fighters who the rest of the World call terrorists to keep their weapons, armaments and financing. They just stayed where they were and embroiled certain areas of the Middle East in constant turmoil. The along comes the most intelligent president the US ever foisted on the World, GW Bush who attacked, invaded, and destroyed two nations in the middle East. Behind him comes the current president who promptly destroys Libya allowing all of its armaments to be dispersed to a new gang of terrorists which grew out of both the Taliban and al Queda, ISIS which now possessed weapons, money and due to the constant American killing in their homelands, men. In fact the more the killing the greater ISIS grew. When the US decided to look at Syria is when ISIS really became a terrible opponent. You see, constant war creates pushback and that is what ISIS is. The more the US pushes, the faster and harder the pushback. To just put is simply so even you can understand. The US created ISIS and all the other terrorist thugs in the Middle East! I have grown up and also live in reality. It is amazing you managed to get ANY reality fit in between your rants of hallucinatory-derived pablum. You really DO have a very bad case of conspiracy oriented addiction, and I do not think there is a cure for you. But, as I say, you are surrounded by nice comrades here. And yes, just because the Soviet Union changed its name to Russia in 1991 doesnt mean the entire paranoid leadership order in Moscow changed. It didnt. You perhaps were once a rational being but are now a conspiracy theory addicted raving maniac, thanks to your beloved Net. More like throw a net over you and haul you away. LMFAO Your reality is that of an institutionalized mental patient. When you have mush for brains you really cant understand the truths Im relaying to you. Some of the other comments on this page may open your eyes but I doubt it. You are much too brainwashed. You have not relayed truths to me or anyone else. Since you cannot defend your position with a shred of evidence, instead you rely on more ad hominem attacks to justify your pathetic position. The person brainwashed is you. I have given you actual evidence:pentagon plans in drawing down its budget from the Cold War era based on that new model, and widespread agreement on thatuntil Putin decided to become a hegemonist. You have no facts to bolster your position. If you do we have yet to see them. Where are these facts? There are none. And there will never be any. Just repeated Pravda propaganda directly from the Kremlin itself(does the Kremlin have any evidence for these claims, or Pravda, or any of the state-sponsored OR independent media outlets within Russia? Nope. And what would you know of institutionalized mental patients? You are using this imagery to bash me, and this is your initiative, so what prompted you to itsome kind of personal experience perchance? Oh, and are you one of those who has to have the last word no matter what? Hanh!! Continuing your absurd ranting and raving just proves my feeling that you need to be institutionalized until you get back on your meds. Have to have the last ad hominem attack eh? You just proved my belief in this regard. The absurdity is on your side, mister. I put forward facts and you have no facts. Case closed. Except for your need to have the last ad hominem attack, of course. My comments about your mental situation are well confirmed by your constant refusal to see the truth. My information on such Ukrainian matters and Americas part in the destabilization of the Middle East did not originate with Pravda, it is well disclosed by any number of members of the international media, international and American diplomats, government sources and the very refugees created by constant American wars, themselves. Your refusal to accept the reality resulting from constant US intervention Worldwide, is a sign that you have major mental problems. Thats too bad but it doesnt change the facts on the ground! No no no. You do not get off just with a vague reference to members of the international media, international and American diplomats, government sources, etc. You have to name your sources and point to where someone can review your information. You cannot do that. Simple as that. I dont have a refusal to accept lots of reality resulting from U.S. intervention, especially in Iraq, and can argue and have argued in this vein whenever and wherever this is needed. Thus your attempt to paint me with such a broad brush is not reasonable. Also not reasonable is to determine that I am mentally ill based upon my refusal to buy into your specific assertions about Ukraine. Icksnay on the ental millnesay. (Yes, I do think pig latin is quite appropriate now) You have now become so silly you are like a carnival barker! lmao Have you noticed that I dont ask you to show me where your foolish ideas come from. That is because they are simply absurd and you dont have sources. After all how could you when your beliefs are just lies. My sources are everywhere, the BBC, Der Spiegel, Politico, Drudge, Rense, Al Jazeera, National Post, Huffington Post, Daily Beast, Economist, Forbes, Washington Post, NY Times, Paris Match, Reuters etc.,etc. Well youre narrowing your sources down a tad, but absent thus far still are dates, authors, etc. so that anyone including awful me can review any of the material you have. That might be helpful should you wish to share your sources with someone else. I, in fact, would be happy to review the material and then tell you what I think, but without any specifics, it is impossible to read anything that you say informed your opinion on Ukraine, wrong though it is. Now as for my sources, these are all the national media common to us allbut I guess they are not to be trustedyes? Hmmm yeah Not to be trusted? Now thats the only thing we agree on! No, not at allwe do not agree on that. I was simply asking you to affirm your apparent distrust of much media. You just did. Congratulations, Last Word Archie. You married to last word Edith, by any chance? LMAO Crimea voted to be part of Russia again.Not a shot was fired.Nudelman and Hillarys regime change in Ukraine has been a disaster. I dont know about you but I am sick of having to worry about what foolish provocation for WWIII the US is going to think of next. I am also sick to death of every other nations so called leadership acquiescing in such deadly stupidity! Please Prime Minister, stop pandering to American foolhardiness. It could kill us all. What utter foolishness. Wow! These were my sentiments exactly after reading your standard Pravda lines, replete with the same adjectives the paid trolls on there enjoy using, comrade!! To show just how deeply ignorant you are, Russia is not communist, it is capitalist, Russia is not unGodly it is Christian, Russia is not a one party tyranny it is democratic, so the foolish terminology, comrade used by you is a reference to a much earlier time and should be retired. If you would cease getting all your information from the Faux News Network you might actually learn something. Anyone can say they are not unGodly(your capitalization is exquisite there, as exquisite as your Latin) and Christian, but saying so doesnt make it so. Just keep attending any Christian church for awhile and witness the unGodly behavior including on the part of leaders often enough. My terms ought be retired!! Oh, I see. But we are all supposed to speak in Latin, though. Right on. I get my information from the Fox News Network? Well I would state you have GOT to be kidding but for the fact I am reasonably sure you are not at this point. You are entertaining though in your conintual illogic and imbecilic repeating of Pravda propaganda. Now, also you may not be familiar with this since it was probably before your time, but there was a high level Democrat back in the day named Henry Scoop Jackson who understood that you dont just trust the Russians on everything they sayand in the year 1976 his Presidential campaign was endorsed by one of the most liberal U.S. Senators around at the time, Daniel Patrick Moynihan. I witnessed the speech in Miami Beach, and I was sitting so close to Leslie Stahl I could see her eye shadow and can tell you the color of it to this very day. You might want to expand your mind a bit but no, that is not your proclivity. Ad hominem attacks are the only thing that work for you.

1	Arguing that area bachelor Gary Tate, 34, is 'becoming too old for this lifestyle,' hundreds of representatives from the New York bar scene told reporters Monday that they are just as tired of Tate as he is of them. 'Every night it's the same old thing,' said bartender Keith Sampson, who called Tate loud, obnoxious, and always stinking of cigarettes. 'The only way we can tolerate this guy is if all of us are completely wasted. It's just not worth the effort anymore.' Sampson added that the bar scene is willing to give Tate one last chance, in hopes that he will be 'awesome and fun' like he was that one night seven years ago. 
3	France Threatens Outright Termination of TTIP Corporate Trade NegotiationsBy Cassius Methyl Frances junior trade minister, Matthias Fekl, is threatening outright termination of Frances involvement in the partnership, saying total lack of transparency in negotiations constitutes a democratic problem. In an interview on Monday with French newspaperSud-Ouest, Matthias Fekl said, Europe has offered many compromises, in all areas, and has received no serious offers from the Americans in return. Neither for access to their public markets, nor for access to their agricultural and food markets, which remain closed. According to Fekl, the United States must modify their position or face consequences. One of their main concerns is that the deal is highly secretive. According to Fekl, U.S. officials have access to more information than European officials and there is a serious lapse in communications. He continued, American members of parliament have access to a much higher number of documents than we do in Europe. If nothing changes, that will show that there is no willingness to ensure a mutually beneficial negotiation process, said Fekl. France is examining all its options, including abandoning the negotiations all together. The TTIP is a trade agreement that makes leaps in enforcing the same laws across the board in several countries. This is a secretive agreement made for corporate power at the expense of whatever stands in their way an agreement protested by citizens similar to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TTP). Details of the TTP and TTIP are not only hidden from the public, but are even hidden from government officials involved in the deals. Talks for the TTIP began around 2013. As described by Science Business, The grand aim of TTIP is to create greater regulatory harmonisation between the two blocs in areas such as car and drug safety testing, which would result in reduced costs for manufacturers. Citizens who care about the environment are concerned about the removal of important E.U. environmental regulations and other harmful side effects of this sweeping corporate reevaluation of the laws. It could be said that greater regulatory harmonization equates to greater influence from corporations on regulationsthat affect their business. In any case, citizens of every country involved are concerned. This article (France Threatens Outright Termination of TTIP Corporate Trade Negotiations) is free and open source.

1	Connie Barstow, 56, struggled Monday to appear interested in her 29-year-old daughter Andrea's just-completed independent documentary, Incident At Round Rock. 'Is that you holding that microphone?' asked Barstow, watching her daughter's 94-minute investigation of a racially motivated 1996 beating in a small northern Idaho town. 'I think I recognize that purple bracelet you always wear.' Connie went on to state that Andrea has a lovely speaking voice and could have narrated the film herself. 
2	According to Obama, Vacations Arent Enough to Keep Michelle Happy According to Obamas recent tantrum, he is upset that Michelle isnt getting paid for all the good she is allegedly doing for our country. Obama made the comment while discussing equal rights for women. I will say, the first ladys kind of a bad example because the first lady doesnt get paid, Obama said during a roundtable discussion on manufacturing in Pittsburgh, And she works pretty hard. He went on to assure the audience that he and Michelle were ok. He then went on to describe that he and Michelle have always done what they wanted to do, no matter what. When Michelle worked at the University of Chicago hospital, for instance, she brought her daughter Sasha in with the CEO. According to Obama, she wanted to see how the CEO was going to react. Obama argues that Michelle was brave enough to let her potential employer know this is who I am. The point was to highlight the Obamas dedication to family first. What do you think? Does Michelle deserve a salary? What about future First Ladies? 
3	What Memorial Day Do You Honor?By SARTRE The most positive decision coming out of the last thirty years has significance that affects all of us. It honors those who served and those who supported each conflict. Not all may agree with this conclusion, but how many have ever thought it through? The draft is now abolished. Involuntary servitude is gone and forced indentured service has now become voluntary. That is a victory that we ALL should celebrate. Before you tune out and shut your mind, consider a process that is rarely practiced today. Thinking. The purpose of the State and, yes, this applies to America as well is to protect and serve citizens. Did you ever hear these words? 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. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. In todays world these are politically incorrect words. Who would dare seek to resist the American Government? Its it un-American NOT to serve in her defense! The next phrase that maybe some have seen before starts off with: WE THE PEOPLE . . . and goes on to enumerate the articles that form the Constitution for that government. Note that the individual is the sovereign, not the government. This is very basic, but so essential. If you do not understand this distinction, you are among the confused. You listen to a different tune today. Service OF Country is a term you will hear, over and over. Intentions may be well placed by those who speak such words, but their comprehension is lacking. It is all about the Country serving We the People. Efforts to compel community service into the schools and the general culture plays into the hands of those who worship the State. The notion that to be a good citizen requires service to the nation, BY serving that government, is patently absurd and insane. It is a total renunciation of the reasons why America was founded. When the individual is viewed as a ward of the State, and not its master, you have lost the only war that veterans should fight. During our short years upon this earth, we cherish and love many different ideas and people. Our family should head this list, even above ourselves. Likewise, our respect for our neighbor, community and country deserve our deference. But is the State superior, when it claims that it occupies a rightful place that supersedes the source in its own existence? I think not! And so should you . . . Why is it considered to be noble that the United States is a continuous government since Thomas Jefferson uttered those most veritable words? America was born at the moment that he spoke these truths, not when a government was formed. Then why do so many of you continue to defend a government, who has long ago abandoned those principles, and has become eminently worse than that of King George? The call to service needs to be in the defense of what is meant in the Idea of America. The country that we all now live in, so often has lost sight of that truth. We have much to celebrate, but an American empire is not one. The sacrifices made deserve respect, but not consent. The flag that waves deserves thirteen stars. The one that now flies, needs to be turned upside down. We can all show dedication to our country, but does our country bestow respect back on us? Love for Country means that country serves under the will of her people. For all those who served to preserve that goal, we honor your trust. For those who only followed a false master, my sympathy goes to your family. Our country already has paid a heavy price, for that blunder.

3	Monsanto Acquires Licensing Rights for Genetically Edited CropsBy Derrick Broze On Thursday, Monsanto announced a new partnership with theBroad Institute,a project of MIT and Harvard that focuses on a biomedical and genomic research. The new partnership grants Monsanto non-exclusive licensing for agriculture applications of CRISPR-Cas technology for use in seed development. The license to CRISPR-Cas from the Broad Institute provides access to an exciting tool for our growing body of genome-editing research, said Tom Adams, Ph.D., biotechnology lead for Monsanto. Genome-editing technology is complementary to our ongoing discovery research and provides an incredible resource to further unlock our world-leading germplasm and genome libraries. Using CRISPR-Cas technology for seed development was also discussed by a team of Italian researchersin August 2014 inTrends in Biotechnology.The researchersexamined the public backlash against Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and whether the public would be more receptive of Genetic Editing. The team washopeful that awareness of what makes these biotechnologies new and different might lead to Genetically Edited Organisms (GEOs) being more widely accepted than their GMO counterparts. While GM foods are created when foreign genes are inserted into a plant, genetic editing modifies through the insertion, deletion, or altering of existing genes of interest, which could be used to prevent acrop from turning brown.Monsanto is now hopingthese differences will make the crops more marketable than GMO products. Monsanto is not the only biotechnology company to invest in CRISPR technology. DuPont Pioneer has also struck a deal with Caribou Biosciences to license its own CRISPR crops. Monsanto and DuPont are hoping that both the public and the U.S. government are accepting of genetically edited crops. Technically, a crop edited via CRISPR is not a GMO, at least not in the fashion that most of the publicunderstands. Business Insider reports: The US Department of Agriculture seems to agree, as does Monsanto. The USDA has already moved two crops made with Crispr a type of mushroom and a type of corn closer to grocery store shelves by opting not to regulate them like conventional GMOs. DuPont, the company making the corn, says it plans to see the crop in farmers fields in the next five years. Based on the USDAs decisionnot to regulate or label the genetically edited crops it is likely that Monsanto and DuPont will continue to invest in CRISPR technology. Business Insider notes that since 2013, researchers have experimented with it in a number of crops, including oranges, potatoes, wheat, rice, and tomatoes. Another element of this story involves the use of CRISPR technology to create genetically engineered babies. In February 2016, Anti Media reported thatRathy Niakan, a stem cell scientist from Londons Francis Crick Institute, was granted a license to carry out experiments involving creating genetically engineered embryosusingCRISPR-Cas9. This begs the question do Monsanto and DuPont, companies with a history of involvement with bioweapons, have an interest in genetically engineered humans? Genetically engineered human embryos and gene editing is reminiscent of Aldous Huxleys Brave New World.It is also a theme in the 1997 film, Gattaca. In Gattaca, we see a future version of our world where genes decide ones place in society. The practice amounts to an essential caste system. In this world, the wealthy and elite can afford to engineer their children and remove any possible defects. Those who are deemed genetically inferior are called in-valids. The film touches on genetic engineering, eugenics, and the moral implications of playing God with human life. Both Gattaca and Brave New World offer thought-provoking explanations of this new, growing reality. What are your thoughts? Do you support Genetically Edited crops? Would you support CRISPR technology over GMOs? Derrick Broze is an investigative journalist and liberty activist.

Image Credit CRISPR is just advanced GMO technology, it STILL results in a genetically modified organism either bloody way! Im opposed to BOTH. Neither is safe, but CRISPR can be used as a virus to alter the DNA of creatures already living. They want to alter future organic life and and hack those already living. This is madness and extremely dangerous! I love how these huge corporations are ALWAYS trying to find a way to keep each and every one of us tiny little goofballs WELL FED. They just dont want to see anyone go hungry! I bet they hardly ever sleep, tossing and turning and wishing that starving children halfway across the world had some of their precious Golden Rice. Im just glad we have super rich and powerful people in the world that CARE SO MUCH!! Praise Jesus. They should be forced to eat it themselves. How about it Tom Adams choke on your own gmo. They are trying to patent nature and should be stopped. Nature is to important to end up in court. This is simply augmenting plastic surgery as in: How do ya like me now?where APPEARANCE is everythingthing is you need natures creations FIRST to have the extreme hubris, audacity chutzpah to say they now OWN some aspect of biology is absolutely mendacious semantic double-speak orchestrated by their legions of bottom-feeding Liar/Lawyers up to their same old tricks of separation division that ye olde Hegelian dialect has been doing for them for millennia. This is simply metaphorically speaking augmenting plastic surgeryas in: How do ya like me now?where Appearance is Everythingthing isbut you need natures creations FIRST!-does one not? then they have the extreme arrogance hubris chutzpah to now imply that they now OWN an aspect of Mother Natures cornucopiaas this is now absolutely an Entrainment form of prevaricating mendacious semantic double-speakorchestrated by their legions of bottom-feeding Liar/Lawyers bending twisting the narrativeessentially up to their same ol tricks of Separation Division machinations of ye olde Hegelian Dialect that has over shadowed the 99% by spinning this Grand Illusion for millenniawhich reminds me of a certain black robed faux religious but actually a mercenary patriarchal/ misogynist sodomy club cult that elicits cognitive dissonance with their old mind tricks of arguing that black is really white.capiche? Something evil this way comes Oh, wait! It moved in long ago and has made itself an accepted part of our family! Now we think evil is good, war is peace, and freedom is slavery! Monsanto, a better motto: We deal in death. Like itor something bad could happen. Monsanto was originally prevented by the Courts from being granted this license. This is a direct result of the terms of the monopoly (merger?) with Bayer. Corporate deals supercede even the Rule of Law. Its understandable when you realize that laws are enacted to criminalize citizens only, not corporations or the federal government. GMOs will end up being the greatest environmental disaster ever, so great a disaster that humanity will suffer a near extinction crisis. All GMO products should be banned. Russia has now done this for the health and safety of their own citizens and are planning to become a major producer of organic food for the world. 
2	Trey Gowdy Makes Major Announcement About His Plans For Hillary, Your Going To Love This For some time know, Congressman Trey Gowdy has proven himself to be a true protector of justice. Though he continues to represent his district in South Carolina, many speculate he will also play a role within the Donald Trump Administration. Trump only propelled these rumors when he named Gowdy as an executive member of his Presidential transition team. It also led people to wonder how it would impact Gowdys current duties as a congressman and his efforts into the Hillary Clinton investigation. Fortunately, Gowdy has confirmed he has no intention of putting Clintons case on the back burner. In fact, hes only been ramping up his efforts to hold the former Secretary of State accountable for her actions. Hes also holding Obamas feet to the fire. 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, Gowdy said of Obamas report on Benghazi. What do you think? Do you applaud Gowdy for continuing to fight for justice? 
2	Obama Admits Thousands Of Refugees, Heres Where Hes Hiding Them Over the past few weeks, the media has reported on the millions of Muslim refugees that are set to move from Syria to Europe and America. The situation has escalated with Europe in a state of crisiswhere Christians are quickly becoming minorities. Now, Obama has announced that he intends to take our country down that same dangerous path. In fact, the government recently capped the number of refugees at a whopping 70,000 a year. As if that werent enough, Obama also intends to let in an additional 10,000 from Syria this year. Of course, some states are taking more heat than others. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is Obama destroying our country? 
1	Speaking to reporters for the final time as head of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Benedict XVI vowed Wednesday that he would continue drawing his popular syndicated comic strip Papalpuss after he steps down from office. The long-running daily comic, which Benedict reportedly brainstorms, sketches, and inks every afternoon, follows the misadventures of the duck-billed platypus Pope Papalpuss, his wisecracking sidekick Cardinal Songbird, and his grouchy, omnipotent boss God. Since its creation in 1964, the four-panel strip has appeared in more than 1,500 newspapers worldwide, delighting generations of fans with its signature lighthearted humor and endearingly down-on-his-luck central character. I love Papalpuss, and even after all these years, I still think theres so much more I can do with it, said the pontiff, seated in his Apostolic Palace drawing studio surrounded by framed Papalpuss prints, posters, and stuffed Papalpuss plush toys. Even though Im stepping down from the Church, I want to assure fans that Papalpuss will continue to bungle and fret over all of lifes little twists and turns each and every day just like always, whether its worrying if hes penitent enough, mishearing a confession, or spilling holy water all over his vestments. And maybe now that Im retiring as pope, I can give Papalpuss more of a life outside the Holy Moly See, too, Benedict continued. It could be fun for him to finally try performing a miracle of his own or maybe go golfing with his buddy Holy Ghost. The possibilities are endless. The Supreme Pontiff acknowledged that his iconic comic strip had grown into a widely successful and lucrative international franchise over the years, having spawned dozens of bestselling anthologies, as well as the animated Papalpuss and Friends childrens show during the early 1980s, on which the then Archbishop of Munich and Freising Joseph Ratzinger served as executive producer. Additionally, Papalpuss has appeared in a profitable line of Hallmark greeting cards, in popular Christmas and Easter television specials, as a fast-food childrens meal toy tie-in, and adorning a Papalpuss-themed rollercoaster at multiple Busch Gardens locations. Pope Benedict XVI, however, has reportedly encountered his share of failures with the brand as well, most notably in 2003, when the motion picture Papalpuss: Uncloistered, which featured a CGI version of the platypus pontiff voiced by Ray Romano, proved to be a commercial and critical flop. In spite of the franchises global presence and ample licensing opportunities, the 85-year-old cartoonist and Vicar of Christ acknowledged that he still draws the comic for the pure joy of it, saying that penning the daily strip continues to be a delight even after half a century. I cant think of anything more rewarding than drawing Papalpuss each day, said the pope, gesturing toward the thousands of fan letters that have been sent to him over the years. I just feel so blessed to have been able to do something I love for so long, and which, in some small way, actually makes peoples lives a little better and provides a positive contribution to the world. And both Papalpuss and I look forward to bringing many more smiles to kids of all ages for years to come, Benedict added. 
1	Speaking at a rally on Monday, GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney told supporters his dramatic resurgence in the polls following last weeks debate had once again proved that he deserves his well-known moniker, Turnaround Mitty from Comeback City. Since as far back as I can remember, folks have been calling me Turnaround Mitty from Comeback City, and just like in Detroit, Massachusetts, and Salt Lake, Turnaround Mitty from Comeback City has pulled through, said Romney, adding that the ol T.M.F.C.C. has struck again. There were many who doubted me, but everyone on the Nitty-Gritty Mitty Committee knew that Turnaround Mitty from Comeback City would one day be sitting pretty. The candidate added that rebounds such as this one also explain why his close friends like to call him the Salt Lake Sultan of Surge.

1	Hideki Matsui's interpreter Roger Kahlon has been unable explain to the Yankees' Japanese-speaking left fielder that former teammate Cory Lidle died instantaneously last Wednesday after flying his four-seat, SR20 aircraft into a high-rise apartment building in Manhattan's Upper East Side. 'At this point, I'm pretty sure [Matsui] thinks Lidle is either in his four-bedroom apartment or on a 20-minute plane ride to upstate New York,' Kahlon said, adding that in order to make Lidle's whereabouts clear to Matsui, he has even resorted to making one of his hands into a plane, the other into a building, crashing them together, and making explosion noises. 'This kind of thing just doesn't translate very well.' According to Kahlon, the last time he asked Matsui where Cory Lidle was, a confused Matsui answered, 'The bullpen.' 
1	In an effort to modernize the ancient ethics pledge, officials from the American Medical Association announced Tuesday an update to the Hippocratic oath that includes a vow of loyalty to national health insurance giant Blue Cross Blue Shield. This newly revised pledge requires doctors to uphold their allegiance to Blue Cross Blue Shield, to avoid pricey tests and referrals whenever possible, and to do no harm to any in-network patient so far as it remains sufficiently cost-effective, said AMA spokesperson Amanda Cummings, noting a further addition to the professional oath that obligates doctors to enforce all co-pays and coinsurance payments. The updated text also requires physicians to have a comprehensive working knowledge of their specific financial agreement with Blue Cross Blue Shield. And above all, a doctor must, at all times, avoid inflicting any injury or wrong upon the companys bottom line. Officials added that the new pledge would no longer require doctors to swear by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius the surgeon, and likewise Hygeia and Panacea, but rather by Blue Cross Blue Shield CEO Scott Serota.

2	Obama Gets Humiliated During Farewell Speech To Military On Live TV [VIDEO] Throughout his presidency, Barack Obama has demonstrated a serious lack of regard and respect for the U.S. military. It is no surprise that veterans have, in turn, lost respect for the man we are supposed to call our Commander in Chief. His many years pushing them aside came back to bite him this week, when he delivered his farewell speech to soldiers at Henderson Hall at Joint Base Myer in Arlington, Virginia. The Gateway Pundit reported that live footage from the speech to the armed forces shows rows of empty seats behind hima sign that very few soldiers showed up. Instead, many of our men and women in uniform are looking forward to Donald Trump taking over. The embarrassing came shortly after a letter written by a 97-year-old World War II veteran named Harold Estes was released, slamming Obama for his treatment of veterans. Dear President Obama, My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time dont believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert. I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bosn Mate. Now I live in a rest home located on the western end of Pearl Harbor allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country. One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man. So here goes. I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish. I cant figure out what country you are the president of. You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like: Were no longer a Christian nation Id say shame on the both of you but I dont think you like America nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House. 1. Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British ? Take a little advice from a very old geezer,young man. Shape up and start acting like an American. If you dont, Ill do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue. You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves. And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you dont want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts who was putting up a fight? You dont mind offending the police calling them stupid but you dont want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists. One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life but youre the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if youre not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy youre thinking of. You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president. Youre not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. Thats not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now. And I sure as hell dont want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle. Sincerely, 
3	Recent Crimes Of The FBI: Who Is Watching The Watchers?Derrick Broze If youve watched the never ending stream of cable news in recent weeks, you may have noticed the barrage of reports mentioning domestic terror or extremism. Recent shootings in schools and public spaces once again has the pundits talking about the horrors of violence while frantically searching for solutions. TheSouthern Poverty Law Center,Democracy Now!,Raw Storyand other outlets seem to believe the problem is a resurgence of the so-called Patriot Movement. But while this narrative may play out well on television, its not necessarily a reflection of reality. The Mainstream Takes Notice The FBIs involvement in domestic terror plots and the ever thinner line between catching and creating terrorists has not been completely lost on the major media outlets. Commenting on the situation, Rolling Stones Rick Perlstein wrote a piece entitledHow FBI Entrapment Is Inventing Terrorists and Letting Bad Guys Off the Hookquestioning the motives of the bureau. The New York Times even seemed to take a bold stance with David Shiplers piece,Terrorist Plots, Hatched by the F.B.I., which stated: Recorded conversations show, contrary to claims by the Justice Department, that suspects are not always warned about the consequences of their actions and are, in fact, sometimes told by their informants to continue their efforts. Aninvestigation by Mother Jones and the Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeleyexamined prosecutions of 508 defendants in terrorism-related cases. The investigation revealed that the largest portion of the FBIs $3.3 billion budget is currently directed to counter-terrorism. How the Informants Work The FBI maintains as many as 15,000 informants in the field. Those informants report to their handlers about individuals who have made statements which can be construed as sympathizing with terrorists. From that point on, an undercover operative assigned to the case will approach the individual, propose plots and in some cases provide actual explosives to give federal authorities enough incriminating evidence to make an arrest. The report found that almost half of terrorism-related prosecutions involved informants motivated by the incentive of making money, or erasing or diminishing their own criminal violations. Of the high-profile terror plots youve likely heard of in recent years, all but three were FBI stings. The 158 defendants prosecuted included 49 defendants who unwittingly participated in plots created by FBI provocateurs. With the FBIs steady growth since September 11, 2001, and the increasing resources being funneled into counter-terrorism, its likely these types of operations will continue. Surely, though, this federal agency answers to someone? Dont be so sure. At a recent hearing about President Obamas under-reported Insider Threat Program, the FBI had its brazen disregard for accountability on full display. Heres what happened: Shortly after Chelsea (formerly Bradley) Manning leaked classified U.S. war documents to WikiLeaks, President Obama issued anexecutive orderestablishing an interagency Insider Threat Task Force, aimed at deterring, detecting and mitigating future risks. The program has gone largely unnoticed, but McClatchy News releaseda detailed reportlast summer that questioned the program, alleging it would stifle whistleblowers and encourage government employees to watch their workplace for high-risk persons or behaviors, since they could now face criminal charges for failing to report such actions. According to a Defense Department strategy paper leaked June 1, 2012, and obtained by McClatchy, leaking is tantamount to aiding the enemies of the United States. Senator Chuck Grassley took notice of the media reports and pressed the FBI for more information about the program. Senator Grassleyrecently spokeabout his efforts to get the agency to divulge more specifics on the task force, and detailed the bureaus lack of transparency: Four months ago I sent a letter to the FBI requesting its training materials on the Insider Threat Program. This program was announced by the Obama Administration in October 2011. It was intended to train federal employees to watch out for insider threats among their colleagues, Grassley said. Public news reports indicated that this program might not do enough to distinguish between true insider threats and legitimate whistleblowers. I relayed these concerns in my letter. I also asked for copies of the training materials. I said I wanted to examine whether they adequately distinguished between insider threats and whistleblowers. Accountable to Whom? In response, the senator was told that a briefing would be the best way to get the answers he sought. So Grassley and Senator Patrick Leahys staff attended a meeting with the FBIs head of the Insider Threat Program. The FBI didnt provide training materials to suspects, the agency told him, urging the senator not to worry about whistleblowers because the Insider Threat Program would know to just avoid those people. Senator Grassley continued, Now I have never heard of whistleblowers being required to register in order to be protected. The idea of such a requirement should be pretty alarming to all Americans. Sometimes confidentiality is the best protection a whistleblower has. Unfortunately, neither my staff nor Chairman Leahys staff was able to learn more, because only about 10 minutes into the briefing, the FBI abruptly walked out. FBI officials simply refused to discuss any whistleblower implications in its Insider Threat Program and left the room. These are clearly not the actions of an agency that is genuinely open to whistleblowers or whistleblower protection. If this federal agency isnt accountable to elected officials, surely it sees no need to answer to the American people, either. In fact, its more and more evident through the actions the FBI is taking that it considers average American citizens as the threat. The Bureaus Role in JSOC In addition, its worth discussing the FBIs participation in night raids in Iraq and Afghanistan alongside the U.S. militarys Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) a subject detailed inJeremy Scahills book and documentary, Dirty Wars. An elite branch of the military that answers directly to the U.S. President, JSOC carries out shoot-to-kill orders directed at high-profile terrorist targets. In April, theWashington Post revealeda little-known alliance between the bureau and JSOC that allowed agents to participate in hundreds of raids in Iraq and Afghanistan. The FBIs Hostage and Rescue Team (HRT), which was embedded with JSOC on numerous raids, led some in the establishment to question the purposes and the validity of those missions. Aside from the legal issues since when was it acceptable procedure for a domestic law enforcement agency to participate in covert overseas military actions? the bureau has done its part helping to stir up a new generation of the so-called terrorists it is looking for. According to a report in CounterPunch, U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) murdered over 1,500 Afghan civilians in night raids in less than 10 months between 2010 and early 2011. If confirmed, this would make night raids carried out by the United States in the name of eradicating terrorism the largest cause of civilian casualties in Afghanistan. To recap: the Federal Bureau of Investigation has a long history of monitoring peaceful activists and entrapping otherwise innocent people whom it then labels terrorists; does not answer to elected officials who question either its motives or its techniques; participates in dangerous night raids in foreign nations; and is now part of a committee to focus on possible domestic extremists. The American people must now ask: is this the kind of government institution we want to keep funding with our taxes? And are the FBIs actions acceptable much less Constitutionally legal to a public that is being made to look and feel ever more like the enemy, rather than the protected?

3	Morgan Stanley to Pay $3.2 Billion for Costing Americans TrillionsBy Claire Bernish But, as the world is keenly cognizant and in sharp contrast to Icelands rational punishment of the criminal element responsible for its financial woes big banks and the economic henchmen who ran them received at least $3.3 trillion in rewards, er, bailout cash, to ostensibly stay afloat. As further evidence of the banks virtual immunity to punishment for their role in the crisis, the New York Attorney Generals office announcedThursday that Morgan Stanleyreached a settlement arrangement with state and federal authorities for a paltry $3.2 billion. When considering Morgan Stanleys acknowledged list of offenses agreed to in the deal, its questionable whether officials dont fully comprehend the enormity of the crisis, or simply dont find its effects on the populace sufficiently grave to tally a more punitive sum which, of course, could be said of settlements with all big banks complicit in the financial meltdown. Per the settlement, Morgan Stanley conceded it misrepresented risks and knew the mortgage-backed securities it was selling contained material defects including loans deemed underwater, where the loan amount had been arbitrarily inflated beyond the value of the property. According to the statement from New York Attorney General Schneiderman: In a May 31, 2006 email, the head of Morgan Stanleys team tasked with doing due diligence on the value of the properties underlying mortgage loans asked a colleague, please do not mention the slightly higher risk tolerance in these communications. We are running under the radar and do not want to document these types of things. In another email on November 26, 2006, a member of the Morgan Stanley due diligence team forwarded a list of questionable loans, seeking review and approval to purchase them and adding I assume you will want to do your magic on this one? In another similar instance from July 2006, the head of Morgan Stanleys valuation due diligence cleared dozens of risky loans for purchase after less than one minute of review per loan file. Under the guidance of the Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Working Group (RMBS), a joint effort between the Department of Justice and various other federal and state authorities formed in 2012 to investigate those responsible for the crisis, Morgan Stanley is the latest of several banks that have reached settlements. Citigroup reached a $7 billion agreement, JPMorgan settled for $13 billion, and Bank of Americas settlement, called historic, totaled $16.6 billion, according to the Washington Post. Of course, comparing the these big bank penalties, coupled with their continued enormous profits, to the devastating effects of a $3.3 trillion loss by ordinary families makes the settlements appear to be little more than breadcrumbs. New Yorks plan for the settlement funds tellingly shows how little, if any, those who lost the most will actually benefit. As the statement explained, Morgan Stanley is required to provide creditable consumer relief totaling $400 million directly to families across the state. But what constitutes direct relief might surprise you: Creditable dollars will go toward the creation and preservation of affordable rental housing, land banks, code enforcement, communities purchasing distressed properties, and principal reductions for homeowners. While such programs to aid ailing neighborhoods are fundamentally necessary, the meager $400 million allotment seems to be a bit of an insult and certainly doesnt directly impact every family who suffered losses in the crisis.Seven years after the 2008 meltdown, Abramson still had to assert similar sentiment held by much of the country: The financial industry has to be held accountable for the impact of the crisis. With big banks able to negotiate these scant settlement arrangements, its likely such assertions will do little more than echo and bounce from building to building down Wall Street.

According to recent reports, a Charleston police officer was injured after being hit in the chest with a brick-like material. He was taken to a nearby hospital during a protest and march through downtown Charleston last week. A source confirmed some protesters were throwing bricks as they marched through the city, though authorities say the night started calmly. Things started to get out of hand when a smaller group of protesters broke off from the main group and started marching through the streets, which they did not have a permit to do. The group reportedly began marching up one-way streets putting themselves and others in danger. Authorities stepped in to ensure their safety and the safety of citizens. The group clashed with officers at the intersection of Broad and King streets. The protesters were pushing on a line of officers, trying to move through a barricade when an officer was hit. The brick-like material hit the officer in the chest and then bounced up to hit him in the chin. The officer was able to catch the object and put it on the ground. Officials say the officer was not seriously injured, though he was taken to a local hospital as a precaution and for treatment of cuts and swelling.

3	Was Hillary Clinton Involved in Benghazi Attack to Provoke More Bloodshed?Susanne Posel Except, there was no US Embassy in Benghazi. There was a diplomatic office or CIA-compound which was burned to the ground. The nearest US Embassy to the area is in Tripoli. Stevens, hardly being a US Ambassador, but rather a gunrunner for the behind the scenes terroristic attacks by the Saudi Arabian nation on the Islamic world. Saudi Arabia adheres to Salafism, an extremist form of Islam that want all other forms of the religion wiped off the map. Stevens was ultimately killed by the same group he had provided guns and other armory for when they were employed by the US to commit the false flag attack on the CIA-compound in Benghazi. The Government Accountability Office has threatened in a recent report to evaluate Clintons role in the attack. Diplomatic Security, which is the responsibility of the US State Department, is compromised if Clinton will allow coerced attacks using US-operatives masquerading as Islamic terrorists for the purpose of committing a flase flag to instigate war with Middle Eastern nations. Clinton, trying to appear to be concerned about the event, vowed publicly to find those responsible for the attack. She said: There are continuing questions about what exactly happened in Benghazi on that night three weeks ago. We will not rest until we answer those questions and until we track down the terrorists who killed our people. Coinciding with Stevens death multiple waves of manufactured Muslim uprisings seemed to validate the terrorist attack. A US-funded film was created with the assistance of an FBI-informant who just happened to be an Israeli citizen. Over 100 Jewish donors gave money to have this wag the dog trailer produced so that the Islamic riots would have a purpose. Creating spin to further convolute the issue, Clinton remarked: We have a lot of work to do to give complete and accurate responses to all the questions and statements that are swirling out there. Lets establish all the facts before we jump to any conclusions. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was deployed to Tripoli, where the actual US Embassy is located. The crime scene in Benghazi was left to be destroyed by CIA-operatives dressed up as rioters to contaminate the evidence. The State Department claims that cryptic warnings of an impending attack on Benghazi was relayed, yet devoid of a time frame and therefore ignored. In response, Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and Jason Chaffetz, House Representative of Utah are demanding an investigation and that Clinton explain the actions of the State Department in the time up and until the coordinated attack. According to the letter from Issa to Clinton: Based on information provided to the Committee by individuals with direct knowledge of events in Libya, the attack that claimed the ambassadors life was the latest in a long line of attacks on Western diplomats and officials in Libya in the months leading up to September 11, 2012. It was clearly never, as Administration officials once insisted, the result of a popular protest, the committees chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and subcommittee chairman, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, write. In addition, multiple U.S. federal government officials have confirmed to the Committee that, prior to the September 11 attack, the U.S. mission in Libya made repeated requests for increased security in Benghazi. The mission in Libya, however, was denied these resources by officials in Washington. Stevens, having no idea that he was about to be sacrificed by the US government for the sake of a false flag attack, was not concerned about utilizing security in the days before the bombing. In fact, Clinton authorized the security to be lessened in Benghazi and the US Marines guarding the US Embassy in Tripoli to be disarmed. Clinton wrote back to Issa, saying: I appreciate that you and your committee are deeply interested in finding out what happened leading up to and during the attacks in Benghazi, and are looking for ways to prevent it from happening again. I share that commitment. She asked Issa to allow that any summations of the event at Benghazi be held off until November, after the elections, or perhaps into 2013 because witnesses were being questioned at the State Departments Office of Legislative Affairs. This must be a request to defer the issue until Clinton and their lackeys can get their stories straight. To keep the truth that the attack on Benghazi was a US-backed false flag, documents at the compound were destroyed just prior to the attack. This act mirrors the sudden shredding of documents at the US Embassy in Beirut that destroyed classified information. These documents showed the names of Libyans who were working with the US as well as oil contracts and information regarding the coordinated attack. Clinton was in contact with the al-Qaeda operatives who attacked the compound in Benghazi and murdered Stevens just 48 hours before the event was enacted. Publicly, the US State Department denies this fact by refusing to comment. The compound in Benghazi that was burned by al-Qaeda operatives was looted to make sure all evidence was removed before the press, residents of Libya or any official could gain access to the buildings. The compound in Benghazi was a safe-house that Stevens would have fled to during an emergency situation. Knowing this, Clinton combined fake revolutionaries with CIA-operatives to create a situation that could be spun to serve the purpose of the US and Israel in destroying the sovereign nations in the Middle East. Last month Clinton admitted that al-Qaeda was used in the attack in Benghazi. Speaking to the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Clinton stated that al-Qaeda was employed to facilitate a manufactured threat of Islamic extremism in the region. Clinton explains: 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 line with the US version of the story, Israeli intelligence reported that This attack , along with the one in Egypt, is a reminder of the Iranian invasion of a U.S. embassy in Tehran that led to a lengthy hostage crisis which brought down the [President Jimmy] Carter administration.

2	ALERT: ISIS Terrorists Seen Crossing The Border Into Texas Recently, President Obama has been made to make the outrageous claim that America is safer than it has been in decades. Meanwhile, our borders remain unprotected. We might as well have a welcome sign for violent gangs or drug cartels to cross into our country. Now, we face a continued threat from ISIS. According to recent reports, ISIS terrorists have begun working out of Ciudad Juarez, just eight piles outside of El Paso, Texas. The reports are not as outlandish as they may seem. ISIS insurgents have allegedly been encouraged to sneak through our southern border and into the United States. A government watchdog group released the original report, claiming that the information had been confirmed by high-level law enforcement. The report also claims that officials have been picking up on radio chatter that indicates that groups are considering an attack on the border. Homeland Security, defense agencies, and the DOJ are staying on high alert. Meanwhile, the Obama administration steadfastly denies having any knowledge of threats. What do you think? Are the reports true? Do our borders need to be protected regardless?

Dear friends, We are excited to announce our plans for a new Ad-Free platform, but we need your help to launch it. Go to our crowdfunder now and get some cool perks for supporting us. When we began this journey four years ago to rant about the establishment and curate the most important news of the day, we never imagined that nearly a million people would visit our blog each month.Your support has humbled us beyond measure. Yet, despite record traffic, our ad revenue is insufficient to advance our mission to promote peace and liberty. The good news is that the great awakening is growing exponentially, the bad news is truth telling doesnt always pay the bills. We started this blog part time, as a maddening itch for truth and justice that had no foundation in prestige or in making money. Today, we consider ourselves extremely fortunate to work around the clock to provide a counter to mainstream propaganda and a platform for other independent journalists. However, our income, if broken down hourly, would make a fast-food worker blush at their good fortune. It is no mystery what we are up against: a corporate-government media machine that continues to expand their desire to shut out dissenting voices and alternative information. They even resort to labeling peaceful activism or political dissent as terrorism, and reading alternative information as potentially becoming radicalized on the Internet. Ideas of peace, love, and liberty have great power. In fact, the establishment is scared to death of these ideas taking root. Anyone who desires control over others would naturally be terrified of these principles because they are the precise antidote to their agenda. But they have incredibly vast resources at their disposal, and all we have in independent news is each other. Our crowd. Our tribe. You! We always envisioned an open-source platform that would rise or fall based on the merit of the information, and hard work and dedication. However, there are very few ways to make money in open-source media and stay true to our principles. We originally chose market-based advertising as our chief source of revenue because its voluntary, but we know many of you despise the advertisements. But, alas, fighting the war of ideas against the established order takes more than passion. It takes action and it takes resources. It takes the crowd support for alternative media to survive and thrive. We refuse to back down from our goals now we have 45 days to show the establishment that people-powered media means business like never before. As a big thank you, we have put together some exciting perks for helping with this mission. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support, selfnews Post crew and staff.

3	Report: Spec Ops Contractors To MissouriNever Guessed We Would Deploy A High Threat Team In Our Own City The events in Ferguson, Missouri area harbinger of things to come. In addition to the deployment of National Guard troops and the heavymilitarization oflocal and federal law enforcement agents in the area, it looks likeprivate special operations contractors with experience in Middle East war zones have been asked tohelp. Their mission is not clear and no one in any official government capacity is saying anything. But according to a tweet from Asymmetric Solutionson Tuesday, private contractorshave been requested in the Ferguson/St. Louis area. The company is a division of Applied Defense Technologies, which employs ex-special operations members like Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, and Delta Force operatives, often to high-risk theaters of war in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. The company quickly followed up their initial tweet to clarify their involvement after numerous users and alternative media outlets like the1776 Channel voiced concerns over the use of private special operations contractors in a military roleon U.S. soil. Private security contracting firms operate throughout the United States on a daily basis. However, its no surprise that a top-tier contracting firm like Asymmetric Solutions being deployed in a riot-laden area like Ferguson, MO will raise eyebrows. This particular deployment may have been innocent enough, but it does raise the question of how far our government is prepared to go in the event of a widespread civil unrest scenario. They have spent years planning for such events as economic collapse, food riots and other emergency scenarios. And because contracting firms such as Asymmetric Solutions have been deployed on countless tours to high-risk areas over the last decade, it stands to reason that these ex-military professionals would be utilized by the highest bidder in the event of a national emergency. The real question then becomes, how far are the individuals and closely knit teams willing to go if called in for such duties on U.S. soil? In the case of Asymmetric Solutions, it looks as if the firm was genuinely concerned that they may be utilized as a sledgehammer bygovernment officials.

3	The Feds Alice In Wonderland Economy - What Happens Next?By Nick Giambruno Ask almost anyone on the street for the name of the U.S. president, and youll get a quick answer. But if you ask the same person what the Federal Reserve is, youll likely get a blank stare. They dont know partly due to the institutions deliberately obscure name that the Fed is really the third iteration of the countrys central bank. Or that the Fed manipulates the nations economic destiny by controlling the money supply. And thats just how the Fed likes it. Theyd prefer Boobus americanus not understand the king-like power they wield. By simply choosing to utter the right words, the chairman of the Fed can create or extinguish trillions of dollars of wealth both in and outside of the U.S. He holds the economic fate of billions of people in his hands. So its no shocker that investors carefully parse everything he says. They have to, if they want to be successful. Some even go as far as to analyze the almighty chairmans body language. Of course, the mainstream financial media revere the Fed. You may recall the unhealthy spectacle that occurred in 1996. Thats when Alan Greenspan, the Fed chairman at the time, spoke the now famous phrase irrational exuberance in what should have otherwise been a dull and forgettable speech. Investors heard Greenspans phrase to mean that the Fed would soon raise interest rates to slow the global economy. Its worth mentioning that Greenspan didnt actually say the Fed would raise rates. Nor did he intend to signal that. Nonetheless, the reaction was swift and panicky. U.S. markets were closed at the time, but stocks in Japan and Hong Kong dropped 3%. The German stock market fell 4%. When trading started in the U.S. market the next day, the market opened down 2%. Billions of dollars of wealth vanished in a period of 16 hours. Thats the absurd power over the global economy that the Federal Reserve gives to one human being. The words of the chairman can make or break the fortunes of anyone with a brokerage account. I almost fell out of my chair when I heard it A journalist recently asked Janet Yellen, the current chair of the Federal Reserve, if the central bank would keep interest rates at 0% forever. Her response: I cant completely rule it out. I was stunned. The deferential financial media hurried to ignore the significance of that statement. Instead, it acted the way big city police might act after making a messy arrest on a busy sidewalk. Move along folks, nothing to see here! Clearly, there was something to see. Something very important. Yellens words came amidst one of the most anticipated economic pronouncements in a generation whether the Fed would finally raise interest rates for the first time in nine years. Short-term rates have been at zero since the 2008 financial crisis. Interest rates are simply the price of borrowing money. Setting them at an artificial level is nothing other than price fixing. Not surprisingly, it has led to enormous amounts of malinvestment and other distortions in the economy. Malinvestment is the result of faulty decision-making. Any investor or business can make a mistake, but central bank manipulation of interest rates subsidizes bad, wasteful decisions. Cheap borrowing costs trick companies. It causes them to plow money into plants, equipment, and other assets that appear profitable because borrowing costs are low. Only later, when the profits dont show up, do they discover that the capital was wasted. Seven years of quantitative easing (QE) and Fed-engineered zero interest rates have drawn the U.S. and much of the world into an unsustainable Alice in Wonderland bubble economy riddled with malinvestment. The pundits had expected that, at this recent meeting, the Fed would move to raise rates just a little and give the global economy a tiny taste of sobriety. Not even that nudge materialized. Instead, the Fed sat on its hands. It kept interest rates at zero. And Janet Yellen couldnt even rule out that rates would stay at zero forever. If she cant even do that, how is she going to start a sustained series of rate hikes, as many of those same pundits now expect her to do a few months down the road? The truth is, seven years of 0% yields and successive rounds of money printing has so distorted the U.S. economy that it cant handle even the tiniest increase in interest rates. It would be the pin that pricks the biggest stock and bond market bubble in all of human history. The Fed cannot let that happen. Its clear that the Fed cant raise interest rates in any meaningful way. It would trigger a financial meltdown that would quickly force them to reverse course. The Fed might be able to get away with a token increase, but thats all. In other words, the Fed has trapped itself. Former Fed chairman Ben Bernanke admitted as much recently when he said he didnt expect rates to normalize in his lifetime. And then, we have the current chair Janet Yellen saying that rates might stay at zero forever! Yellens belief that she has the power to suppress interest rates until the end of time is a frightening sign. As powerful as the Fed is, it isnt stronger than the markets. A crisis in the markets could force rates higher even if the Fed doesnt want them to go there. And the longer the Fed tries to sustain abnormalities like QE and 0% interest rates, the more likely it is that the whole business will end with the markets crushing the Fed. And thats not even considering a collapse of the petrodollar system or China pushing the establishment of a New Silk Road in Eurasiatwo catalysts that would likely force interest rates higher. So Ill go ahead and disagree with Yellen and rule out the possibility that rates might stay at zero forever. They wont, because they cant. At the next sign of a market swoon or of a weakening economy, or with the next episode of deflationary jitters, the Fed will again ramp up the easy money. It could be another round of QE. Or the Fed could push interest rates into negative territory. If that fails, the Fed could go for the nuclear option and drop freshly printed money out of helicopters as Bernanke once infamously suggested or, more likely, into everyones bank account. Theyll do whatever it takes, no matter what the eventual damage to the dollars value. Whatever the details, one thing should be clear. This politburo of unaccountable central planners is the greatest risk to your financial wellbeing today. Its a terrifying thought that the actions of a few people at the Fed so endanger your financial security. But the facts are worse than that. Theres more to worry about than just the financial effects. The social and political implications of the Feds actions are even more dangerous. An economic depression and currency inflation (perhaps hyperinflation) are very much in the cards. These things rarely lead to anything but bigger government, less freedom, and shrinking prosperity. Sometimes they lead to much worse. Fortunately, your destiny doesnt need to be hostage to whats coming. Weve published a groundbreaking step-by-step manual that sets out the three essential measures all Americans should take right now to protect themselves and their families. These measures are easy and straightforward to implement.You just need to understand what they are and how they keep you safe. New York Timesbest-selling author Doug Casey and his team describe how you can do it all from home. And theres still time to get it done without any extraordinary cost or effort.

Image Credit Exactly, politicians world wide are all pawns. To people with the stupid gene, who are in the majority, he appears to be powerful, but instead is a puppet of banking cartel oligarchs. The BIS (central bank of the world) in Basel, Swit. controls all the central banks of each country dictating to them what to do and when. Retirees have put up with low interest rates now for years and had to buy stocks with div. payouts to live above SS checks, as some have small pensions or none. The ship has sailed and with open borders and influx of middle east so called refugees, this country is being trashed beyond hope. All we can do now is get into a survival mode with family and close friends. Voting or other political/patriot activities is in vain, hasnt produced results since 1946 when patriot groups formed against the UN. Gov corruption has always been an issue, and people still remain stupid. Europe is now being invaded and the killings are just ahead, they should have learned from their history of craziness. How do you get rid of that strip on the left which prevents you from reading the article? The web is getting really annoying, I think its time to go back to cable TV. Lousy spot for that strip thing! Whom controls The Fed? J E W S!!!! 
3	City Council Meeting Closed Down Over a F**K The Police HatYouTube 
1	After centuries of enduring harsh, spare living conditions and voluntarily shunning modern amenities such as microwave ovens and red clothing, Amish leaders announced Monday that Amish across the U.S. will abandon their traditional ways and adapt to modern American life. Fuck that, said Amish Father Ezekiel Schmid at a Lancaster press conference. This is pure bullshit. Schmid recounted the hard Amish life, in which many long hours are spent toiling under the hot sun in heavy black clothing without any refrigerated drinks or gas-powered farm machines. He spoke of the arduous task of raising barns by hand from dawn until dusk, and of laboriously churning his own butter without electrical power. I cant believe we were such suckers, Schmid said. I feel like a fool. Schmid added that he will shave off his ridiculous Pennsylvania Dutch-style beard with no mustache, a look he says went out of fashion in about 1820. Why didnt anyone ever tell me how stupid I looked? he said. According to Schmid, the Amish look forward to a wide variety of alternative lifestyle opportunities that now await them. I am indeed looking forward to wearing clothing that is a color other than black, said Josephat Kreugger, a prominent Kruegger, an Amish counsel member. I will try on some dark gray suits, perhaps even medium gray. I am also considering buying a charcoal-colored hat. Kreugger also expressed a desire to travel twice the speed of horse. Many social changes await the Amish, as well. When I punish my son for not saying his prayers, Mary Wittgenstein said, I normally use a wooden switch taken from a tree. But now, think of the modern child-beating weapons that will be available to me in the outside world. Perhaps there are whips made especially for use on disobedient children, or muskets. Many Amish are looking forward to getting jobs in the real world. Amish farmer Abraham Verveert said he has greatly entertained other Amish people at church meetings with his rousing scripture readings, and hopes to capitalize on that talent by taking his Bible-reading on the road. I have readings scheduled at nightclubs and ballrooms across the country, and judging by the gleeful reaction of my Amish brethren, I believe I will find great success entertaining outsiders with my lively readings, Verveert said. This week, I will be reading a particularly delightful passage from Corinthians at the Sunrise Motor Inn in Kew Gardens, NY. You will surely want to be present. One Amish couple, Jacob and Sarah Neamer, plan to move to an apartment in a major city and adopt a modern lifestyle, but will continue to make a living the only way they know how. We will charge admission for people to enter our home and observe our lifestyle, Sarah said. For $12.50, or $10 with coupon, you can watch us as we cook meals and watch the television. One Amish entrepreneur, Lucas Hagen, is looking forward to taking full advantage of modern technology. I was often ostracized in the Amish community for my blasphemous ideas about loosening Amish traditions, he said. Now that I am free to explore life on the outside, I plan to buy a cable TV station and create an Amish Porn Channel. If successful, Hagens Amish Porn Channel will feature programs in which women take off their bonnets and expose their hair. Amish Father Schmid is looking forward to being a policeman. I want to rid the world of illegal butter churning, he said somberly. It is costing the government millions every year. 
2	Sydney Terrorist Outs Obama In Public: Dont Hide Your Islamic Faith Barack Obama has repeatedly insisted that he is a Christian, despite allegations that he comes from Muslim faith. Now, letters have surfaced from Sheik Haron Monis, the Muslim cleric who came into the public eye for taking hostages in Sydney, Australia. Apparently, the terrorist wrote letters to the president as a dear brother of Islam. According to reports, one letter warned Obama not to hide his Muslim faith. You will be apostate by denying your religion, I advise you to avoid such a big sin, Sheik Monis wrote. He then went on to make a reference about receiving a letter from Obama himself. I got your message, he wrote. Hiding the religion for political purposes is not permitted. When a Muslim is asked about his/her religion, she/he must tell the truth. It is unconfirmed at this time whether Monis had interaction with the president, or whether he was suffering from delusions. You think it is permissible by Shariah law to hide your religion to achieve some positions to be able to help Islam and to give better service to Muslims, Monis concluded. You are wrong. What do you think of the letter? Is it interesting that even radical Islamists believe Obama is Muslim? 
1	Describing their company as a humane alternative to standard industrialized packing plants, owners of a new free-range slaughterhouse told reporters Wednesday that they allow their livestock to stay active by openly roaming around on the killing room floor. According to company officials, the KLJ Packing slaughterhouse refuses to subject its animals to the abuses of cramped and overcrowded chutes, opting instead to let its cows, pigs, chickens, and sheep wander around the machines and butchering tables throughout the 55,000-square-foot kill floor until workers select them for slaughter. Rather than cruelly herding our stock onto dark, narrow loading ramps, we believe in letting them move freely across our facilitys spacious, blood-sluicing grated floor, said KLJ Packing operations manager Eric Judd, adding that the extra room is intended to make the animals as comfortable as possible for the 24 hours between arriving at the plant and being skinned and dismembered for sale. Before our animals are led into stun boxes, theyre allowed to walk without hindrance among the carcasses suspended from the bleeding rail and the floors various viscera piles. Its important to treat these animals with compassion, he continued. While it is slightly less efficient and more costly for us to insist on letting our animals stretch their legs by walking along rows of circular saws where workers decapitate chickens, we stand by the ethical treatment of our livestock. Factory sources, who expounded on the many benefits of free-range slaughter floors, confirmed that the companys cows and sheep have unrestricted movement and boundless space in which to thrash around during the five to 10 seconds after a bolt has gone through their brain, helping to prevent the bruises and abrasions that are associated with packing livestock close together in tight quarters. Reports indicated that the no-pen policy also allows the livestock to continue the social behaviors essential to their health, noting that chickens are able to maintain the structure of their flocks while weaving between the gutting stands and the various troughs for fat, connective tissue, and meat scraps. Officials added that the animals stress-induced cortisol levels, which tend to spike after their long rides from the farms, are more easily reduced when they are free to roam around at their leisure near the scalding vats used to remove hair from pigs. While it is slightly less efficient and more costly for us to insist on letting our animals stretch their legs by walking along rows of circular saws where workers decapitate chickens, we stand by the ethical treatment of our livestock. Judd said. However, its not just about recognizing a cows right to wander freely through the showers of blood pouring from suspended animals severed aortasits also about producing a better-tasting product. When you bite into a steak, you can tell whether or not it was given the chance to amble around near its own disemboweled calf, he added. 
1	Australian character actor Paul Hogan, 74, told sources in an exclusive interview Tuesday that hes still searching for that one career-defining role. Im proud of my work, but despite acting in a variety of different films, Ive yet to find that one iconic, unforgettable character with whom everyone identifies me, said Hogan, who has been appearing in motion pictures for more than a quarter century. When people hear the name Paul Hogan, there isnt any particular performance that comes to mind, but rather a broad range of many diverse roles. I just have to keep working, and hopefully something great will come along eventually. Hogan then reportedly opened up about his divorce from his wife of 23 years, an actress he met while working on a film in 1986. 
1	Determined to break the deadly cycle of chicken-on-chicken violence, Amarillo Sheriff James Braddock is targeting cockfighting activity in the area. 'It's always tragic when any chicken is injured or killed,' said Braddock after a massive, 45-chicken bust. 'But it's doubly tragic when these put-upon creatures turn against their own kind.' Braddock said that while law-enforcement officials are making strides, they can only do so much. 'Educating these chickens while they're still young is key,' he said. 
1	At a cafeteria-table press conference Monday, David Pernell, 10, 'categorically denied' girl-liking allegations recently levied against him by fellow Lakeview Elementary School fourth-grader Jonathan Witt. 'I do not, have not and will not ever like girls,' Pernell told the crowd of seven boys assembled at the lunchroom's back table. 'Mr. Witt's accusations are not only 100 percent false, but also slanderous, as it has always been my firm conviction that girls are totally and completely gross.' Pernell went on to suggest that perhaps it is Witt who likes girls, particularly Jenny Loughlin, 10. 
1	The U.S. Department of the Exterior announced Monday the grand opening of a new national park that covers nearly 150,000 square miles across the western portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula, making it the largest American park in northern Europe. 'We are proud to officially open the George Washington National Park, Norway, in the great American city of Brnnysund,' Secretary of the Exterior Emmett Becker said. 'From now on, this spectacular U.S. treasure will be preserved for future generations of Americans, and will no longer be vulnerable to exploitation by greedy private-sector developers, like, say, Norwegians.' 'U.S. citizens from coast-to-coast-to-coast can enjoy the splendor of the breathtaking glaciers and frosted tundra that exist right here in our own backyard,' Becker continued. 'All you have to do is hop in the car, drive to the airport, take a 12-hour flight to Nord-Trndelag County, find a kindly fisherman with a boat who is willing to row you out to the mainland, get on the one train that heads south down the Skagerrak coastline, and catch the ferry to the park gates in Kristiansand.' A brochure outlines the park's various attractions. 'America the beautiful,' he added. In late August, before designating the region a federally protected park, the DOE informed the people living in the area that they had 15 days to relocate before their homes were demolished. The department maintained that these trespassers, some of whom had reportedly lived there their entire lives without the DOE's knowledge, were encroaching on the unspoiled habitat of such species as the North American Norwegian reindeer, the North American Norwegian sea otter, and other indigenous American wildlife formerly found only in Norway. The park also features interactive exhibits on such uniquely American traditions as julehefter and julebker. 'No place speaks to the spirit of the American wilderness quite like the majestic Sogne Fjord,' Becker said. 'From the windswept vistas of Svalbard to the raw, stunning beauty of Stavanger, this park is as American as baseball, koldtbord, or apple pie.' The Department of the Exterior, formed in the mid-19th century as part of the Monroe Doctrine, is the branch of government dedicated to securing federally protected status for vast tracts of overseas land for the use of all U.S. citizens. The DOE's first major contribution to the conservationist cause was the establishment of the James Monroe National Park over 90 percent of the Philippines in 1899, followed by the Teddy Roosevelt Panama Canal Waterfowl Preservation Zone in 1910. The DOE later went on to open preserves in such fragile ecosystems as the Abraham Lincoln Rain Forest in Brazil, the nation of Vietnam, and the Uusikaupunki National Park in Uusikaupunki, Outer New Jersey (formerly Finland). Thus far, the new park has been visited by nearly five eager Americans and a surprisingly large number of European tourists. 'It's so beautiful up hereif a little cold,' said Eileen Weinblatt of Helena, MT, who brought her family to the park on Monday as part of a tour of major American landmarks. 'We went to see the Statue of Liberty last summer, and this fall, we're going to see the U.S. pyramids.' These U.S. national parks that exist outside the internationally recognized U.S. borders have occasionally stirred controversy. Much of the new George Washington National Park, Norwaywhich extends not only over much of the America-Norwegian landmass but also into offshore areas as wellhas been determined by geologists to contain massive oil reserves, leading some to propose that the federal ban on drilling should be lifted. 'Why should we waste taxpayer money protecting a bunch of endangered American arctic foxes when gas prices are going through the roof?' energy industry lobbyist Carl Frye said. 'We could be drilling right here at home, 175 miles north of Oslo.' 'By relying on the resources of our national parks, we could completely eliminate our dependence on foreign oil,' Frye added. The new park is the largest landmass to be given national park status by the Department of the Exterior since 2003, when the DOE established the George W. Bush Honorary Desert Habitat in the regions formerly known as southern and central Iraq. 
1	Saying the renovation project will give the country a more modern look, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell told reporters Friday that knocking down the Rocky Mountains could really open up the nation. You know, if we were to just take out the Rockies, it would let in a lot more natural light and give those Plains states a nice, unobstructed view of the Pacific Ocean, said Jewell, adding that demolishing and removing the 3,000-mile-long mountain range would also provide residents of Colorado and Wyoming with a more spacious living area. Right now, its just so cramped throughout that whole region. It would make a huge change to the overall feel of the country if we were to just get rid of the Rockies. And then maybe we could finally do something about those Great Lakes. The cabinet official admitted that tearing down the mountain range would be an expensive, long-term project, but said that she wouldnt be surprised if the U.S. could get Canada to pay for half of the costs. 
2	Liberal Bob Beckel Is About To Fired After Making This Very Controversial Statement On The Air [VIDEO] Fox News Democrat reporter Bob Beckel is in some serious hot water after making an insulting comment many are deeming sexist. The crew of The Five were discussing the Bachelorette, Andi Dorfman, who was called out in the reunion show for sleeping with more than one of the men she was dating. Beckel takes his comments to the extreme when he calls Dorfman a slut. His comment quickly starts a heated debate among his co-hosts. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Did Beckel take things way too far? 
1	Saying she has a lot of nerve to try and pull something like this, employees of insurance agency Boland & Sons told reporters Wednesday that coworker Emily Nelson seems to believe she can just waltz back into work after her maternity leave without once bringing her baby into the office. I dont know where she gets off thinking she doesnt need to come in here with that baby strapped around her in a bjorn, said Greg Sheldrick, adding that Nelson is out of her goddamn mind if she seriously believes showing off a few measly pictures of the newborn on her cell phone is an adequate substitute for bringing him around to meet everyone in their department. Shes been back for three weeks already, so the grace period is over. She needs to come in with that baby in a stroller, roll it by my desk, and say Somebody wants to say hello, or, frankly, she might as well never show her face here again. Seriously, every single person here better get a chance to lean in and smile at that baby, and God help her if she shows up the rest of this week empty-handed. Sheldrick reportedly expressed equal astonishment that Nelsons husband thinks he can get away with not once arriving with the infant to pick up his wife from work. 
2	35,000 Welfare Leeches Just Got Hit With A Brutal Wakeup Call According to an announcement on AL.com, a new food stamp program in Alabama will require people to work just 20 hours a week in order to receive benefits. This law has already proving effective in eliminating welfare abusers. 35,000 people stopped receiving benefits because of the requirement to show part-time work. The significant drop took place between January 1st and April 1st. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 limits the receipt of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits to 3 months in a 36-month period for able-bodied adults without dependents who are not working at least 80 hours per month, the USDAs website read. While liberals have argued that the legislation will only further limit struggling Americans, it appears it is effectively weeding out those who are simply unwilling to work. These programs only target those able to maintain workand it shows how little it takes to discourage them from mooching off hardworking taxpayers. What do you think? Should more states implement policies like this? 
3	In the Wake of Brussels Attack, US Quietly Admits to Their Own Act of Terror that Killed 42By Claire Bernish As commander, said Gen. John W. Nicholson, who now commands U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, I wanted to come to Kunduz personally and stand before the families, and the people of Kunduz, to deeply apologize for the events. Those events comprised a bombardment via airstrike on the hospital on October 3, 2015 and left 42 people dead and 37 injured. I grieve with you for your loss and suffering, Nicholson added, and humbly and respectfully ask for your forgiveness. His apology might ring hollow to many, considering circumstances surrounding the bombing, as well as what could be deemed an attempt by the U.S. to cover its tracks in the days and weeks that followed. What eventually emerged were terrifying accounts from witnesses on the scene which included reports of the U.S. shooting at people as they fled the hospital. MSF issued many statements following the attack one described the bombing: A series of multiple, precise and sustained airstrikes targeted the main hospital building, leaving the rest of the buildings in the MSF compound comparatively untouched. This specific building of the hospital correlates exactly with the GPS coordinates provided to the parties of the conflict (GPS coordinates were taken directly in front of the main hospital building that was hit with the airstrikes). MSFs mission is to provide needed medical care to anyone situated in a conflict area, regardless of their affiliation but no weapons of any kind are allowed inside their facilities. Also, GPS coordinates are taken and given to all parties involved in fighting so those facilities arent accidentally bombed. In the case of Kunduz, this had been done shortly before the bombs hit. To MSF and international observers, this meant the bombing wasnt accidental, as the U.S. finally conceded particularly in light of another statement from workers who had been on the scene: Many staff describe people being shot, most likely from the plane [circling overhead], as people tried to flee the main hospital building that was being hit with each airstrike. Some accounts mention shooting that appear[ed] to follow the movement of people on the run. In fact, MSF accused the United States of committing a war crime for the attack and demanded a full investigation into the events. Officials, including Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, fumbled through press conferences in the weeks afterward, in an ostensible attempt to claim the U.S. would hold the appropriate parties responsible. In fact, four different stories were given by authorities in four days, which didnt lend any credibility to the U.S. claim the hospital had not been purposely targeted. But anyone paying attention to MSF descriptions of the attack quickly realized the U.S. had at least made a grave mistake, and likely worse. We need a clear commitment that the act of providing medical care will never make us a target, MSF International President Joanne Liu asserted in a press release at the time. We need to know whether the rules of war still apply. Ultimately, the U.S. found the deadly bombing resulted largely from human error and was tragic but avoidable. To add insult to injury, the twelve US military personnel, used as scapegoats for the deadly attack, have been issued administrative punishments but no criminal charges. Mdecins Sans Frontires Kunduz hospital facility shut down but the nightmarish attack on its humanitarian staff lingers in the minds of many. Though Nicholsons apology certainly provides a modicum of U.S. culpability in the bombing, for those in the hospital complex that day, its far too little and way too late.

1	Despite the fact that in all of human history not one person has ever provided definitive empirical evidence of the afterlife, the crew of the second-tier cable network television show Ghost Hunters has shocked statisticians and theologians alike with an incredible and uncanny 100 percent success rate in documenting proof of spiritual presences from beyond the grave. 'Well, we have really good equipment,' said one cast member, a man in his 30s who sees one or more ghosts each week, without fail, every single time he sets out to do so. 'What can I say? We're just really good researchers, I guess.' At press time, despite having repeatedly resolved the most central question of human existence, the program is somehow not on the cover of every major newspaper, magazine, and scientific journal in the world. 
1	Calling communication the cornerstone of their marriage, local couple Sam and Christina Garber confessed to reporters Thursday that they never dreamed they would one day be able to talk so openly and honestly about cabinets with each other. The Garbers, who wed in 2006 and have two children, confirmed that early in their relationship it was difficult to have a constructive conversation about anything even remotely related to cabinetry, admitting that they lacked the closeness and trust to share their true feelings about wood materials, hardware, and custom accents. When we were newlyweds eight years ago, we could never have had an upfront and candid discussion about custom or stock-manufactured cabinets, said Christina, 36, adding that the couple actively avoided touchy subjects such as durability, selection, and storage options. These are not always easy conversations to have, but weve grown so much closer since learning to express our needs and desires for wall-hung cupboards. Even if we dont always see eye-to-eye on cabinets, its nice to know that we can talk through it, continued Christina. Its remarkable that we now regularly communicate our feelings regarding corbels and beveled edges. I could hardly imagine that Id ever be sharing that kind of bond with another person. Sam Garber acknowledged that until recently the mere mention of cabinet door styles caused him to emotionally shut down and withdraw from his wife. The 38-year-old, who would become terse and distant when the topic of raised or flat panels was broached, revealed that he didnt feel comfortable letting his guard down and voicing his true preference for a cathedral profile. Looking back, I realize that I had a lot of insecurities and was afraid that my penchant for a decorative door panel made me less of a man, said Sam, who reportedly no longer feels vulnerable about sharing his love of frosted glass inserts. I guess I had some old-fashioned ideas. I just didnt understand the importance of expressing your feelings about cabinets in a healthy way. Christina confirmed that she used to fear bringing up her dissatisfaction with crown molding to her husband, worrying that he would be unsupportive or reject her concerns. However, the mother of two told reporters that improving communication has helped the couple overcome intimacy barriers, and Sam has demonstrated that he is actually very open to trying braid, cyma, covetto, torus, ovolo, and keel molding. The couple claimed that the frequency with which they explicitly discuss the merits of all-oak construction and split-rail paneling has allowed them to nurture their relationship and build a level of trust they never considered possible. Though proud of how easily they exchange their thoughts on the appeal of traditional Piedmont detailing, the couple readily admits that they werent always so eager to address such an intimate topic with one another. Like most young couples, learning to communicate their feelings about shelving units was something they had to work on. The Garbers inability to genuinely convey their feelings on toe-kicks led to strain in the relationship, as unfiltered criticisms and built-up resentment began to take their toll. Tension escalated to such a degree following the couples wedding that they sought the help of a licensed contractor. To be fair, I had my own personal baggage that I brought to the table when it came to cabinetry, and seeing a contractor together really honed in on the source of some of those issues, said Christina, who described growing up in a cold, repressive home where laminate shelving and sculpted drawer fronts were never discussed. But once we got past my whole thing with dovetail joinery, we were able to move forward and successfully pick out a proper pull knob. Its not easy, but sharing thoughts on alternate kinds of finishes and glass accents keeps things exciting, added Christina, glancing lovingly at her husband. My only hope is that we can instill these values in our kids, so that theyll be capable of someday connecting on that kind of level with someone too. 
2	RACISM: Youll Never Believe What Obama Just Banned White Women From Doing As a recent news site recently reported, diversity trumps competency in the Obama administration. Recently, during a visit to Spelman College, United States Secretary of Education Arne Duncan claimed that the country needs to increase the diversity of its teacher workforce to match the diversity of schoolchildren. This is doing the right thing for our nation, Duncan told the group. According to Duncans theory, if there are more African American students than white students, Duncan believes that there should more African American teachers to match. If this were to happen, it would call for an affirmative action-style hiring process within the education system. This is just another example of the racist mentality we see sweeping the nation. This means that Duncan believes that having a black teacher outweighs experience. What do you think of Duncans proposal?

2	Sean Hannity Just Received Tragic News... Fans Shocked Sean Hannity went head-to-head with Fox News this week, after citing some election polls that were deemed unscientific by the network. According to reports, Hannity cited a series of online polls claiming that Donald Trump was the winner of the first presidential debate. Dana Blanton, vice president of public-opinion research at Fox News, sent out a memo to network producers that unscientific and do not meet our editorial standards. Hannity clearly ignored that menu. That was until Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple claimed Hannity was 100% beyond the reach of Fox News management. I wouldnt be surprised to find that in its next annual report, 21st Century Fox will report that the Hannity show at some point in the 2106 cycle was spun off as an independent company separate from Fox News, Wemple commented. Hes running his own fiefdom, his own shop, his own news network. But Hannity was still citing the controversial resource as late as Thursday. I know that people hate when I cite online polling, Hannity explained on the show that night. But when you see The Hill and you see Slate and Time.com, these are not mainstream conservative polling or websites. And when they vote after a debate so overwhelmingly for Trump, its telling me something. I imagine that he is wanting to be helpful to Donald Trump as an extension of the campaign, one Fox News host told reporters. But if Hillary Clinton had won any of those online polls, he probably would not have touted them. What do you think? Are you tired of seeing Hannity criticized for being a Trump supporter? 
3	Oil for Food Barter Trades Begin to Get Around Sanctions on Iranselfnews Post Because of the tough sanctions which have targeted financial institutions from doing transactions with Iran, this type of barter deal eliminates the need for financing or currency exchanging hands. Iran is historically a large purchaser of Uruguayan rice, and Uruguay agriculture officials announced that they intend to keep that business. If Iran is willing to barter oil for rice we will do it and we will take out currency from (the operation), Agriculture Minister Tabare Aguerre told Reuters. Uruguay, somewhat defiantly, said on the presidents official website that the international community made the determination that Uruguay rice can no longer be sold to Iran. The Minister of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries ( BHAG ) explained that international standards related to currency movements toward Iran determined that this country ceases to be the main importer of Uruguayan rice. The government is willing to walk this path as needed, putting innovation and imagination in trading processes. If Iran is willing to barter rice for oil we will as well, and we will remove the currency, in transit, he said. Uruguays creative approach to solving problems is clearly at odds with Western nations keen on creating problems. Innovation, organization, integration and, above all, the ability and creativity to propose and implement tools to address the crisis from 1999 to 2003 was what allowed us to be what we are today, said Uruguays Secretary of State in regards to the countrys agriculture and economic strength. Meanwhile, panicbuyinggrips the the United Kingdom as shortages are beingmanipulated partially due to sanctions on Iran.

3	U.S. Special Forces Seen Wearing YPG Badges In SyriaBy Brandon Turbeville Although State Department Spokesman Mark Toner declined to specify where the Special Forces soldiers were operating, Al-Masdar News reports that the soldiers are operating near Raqqa and that they were operating with both the YPG Kurdish forces and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), an organization made up of both Kurds and Arabs. The West has been backing the SDF for quite some time, a loose coalition of terrorist and Kurdish forces. Both the SDF and the YPG have committed atrocities against Christians, Assyrians, and other minorities in Syria over the last five years. The display of YPG emblems and the subsequent revelation of it was a source of international tensions after Turkey registered major complaints with the United States. After Turkey publicly condemned the use of the YPG emblems, the U.S. military admitted that the soldiers were indeed working with the YPG and SDF since it stated that the troops would be ordered to remove them. Remarkably, Turkey seemed more upset that the emblems were being used than the actual association of U.S. forces with the YPG, an organization which Turkey sees as an offshoot of the PKK. In addition to the photos, a video was taken of American military personnel cavorting with Kurdish fighters. In the video, the American soldier looks at the camera and says, Let me tell you something. Im from the United States of America and I say Kill em all. It was unclear whether he was referring to ISIS fighters or Syrians as a whole. Partisangirl (@Partisangirl) May 27, 2016 The U.S. and YPG have reportedly been planning a liberation of Raqqa from the Western-backed ISIS forces, most likely in anticipation of the Syrian/Russian coalition doing the same. The liberation of U.S.-funded and directed forces by U.S.-funded and directed forces would thus give the U.S. the ability to project a sense of progress after years of allegedly fighting ISIS to no avail. To the somnambulant public of the West, it will no doubt make perfect sense. Elsewhere in Syria, Russian Special Forces are embedded with the Syrian military in areas like Homs. Such a placement of Special Forces troops from both the Russian and American sides amid the constant bombing campaigns creates a situation in which a clash between U.S. and Russian Special Force and/or Air Forces is increasingly likely.

1	Friends of 33-year-old Matt Breunich quietly observed the 10th anniversary of his lower-back problem, a chronic condition that has served as an ongoing reason to excuse himself from such diverse activities as taking out the trash, helping friends move, and making love to his girlfriend. Breunich, unable to visit his sister in the hospital after she gave birth, nurses his 'back thing.' 'No matter what's going on, you can always count on Matt's slipped disc to act up,' said longtime friend Janet Wolck, who joined 13 others in an evening of reminiscence at a local restaurant Tuesday. 'It's been one heck of an excuse-laden decade.' According to gathering organizer Tony Kairns, it was in April 1996 that Breunich first revealed the existence of a herniated disc in his lower back when declining at the last minute to help a group of friends move into their first off-campus home. 'While we've never verified the exact date of the alleged injury, everyone agrees that that was the first time they heard the excuse,' said Kairns, who has known Breunich since they were college freshman roommates 12 years ago. 'Everyone was so concerned because it sounded serious. None of us suspected the excuse would last this long.' In that time, Breunich has used the slipped-disc excuse a number of times estimated by friends to be between one and three zillion. It has served as Breunich's ticket out of stripping paint, attending a coworker's going-away party, changing a tire, holding a friend's baby, setting up a tent, conveying pitchers of beer from the bar to an awaiting table, making a bed, vacuuming, retrieving an escaped guinea pig, shoveling snow, kissing the Blarney Stone, cleaning out a garage, and going on approximately 14 second dates. Even as friends' concern over the injury gradually grew into bemusement, then indifference, the excuse persisted. Ex-girlfriend Lauren Vargas marveled at its longevity, saying that as recently as February, Breunich 'trotted out the old chestnut' when asked to deliver canned goods to a local homeless shelter. 'It's fun to feed him terms like 'torn lumbar region' and 'bone chips' and so on,' Vargas said, 'then watch him find a way to incorporate them into the excuse next time around.' 'Does your back need to be in peak condition in order to watch a pro basketball game?' said Charlotte Bobcats fan Kyle LaGrange, echoing the evening's trend of rhetorical questioning. Though no one has been able to determine whether Breunich ever truly slipped a disc, Kairns said he felt especially privileged to 'be on the scene' when the excuse transformed from a casual complaint about his lower back to a full-blown prolapsed vertebra. Breunich told Kairns that a first-year medical student he had met at a bar said that his back pain might be due to a slipped disc. 'I don't think he's ever seen a doctor or a chiropractor about it,' Kairns said. 'You'd think that he would, with all that pain and apparent immobility.' Despite his unwillingness to consult the medical establishment, Breunich remains attentive to his condition, often requiring the most comfortable chair in a given room 'for his back,' according to Kairns. Though admitting they had no specific knowledge, Breunich's friends were fairly certain that modern medicine had devised treatments for the condition, with a few guessing that proper care and bedrest could allow slipped discs to mend on their own. Some were also baffled by the injury's versatility, specifically its ability to travel from the lower back to the neck region. Jeff Lewis, who works with Breunich at a Charlotte-area data-recovery firm, noted that back complaints disappear during activities Breunich enjoys, including company softball games, where he is the team's leading hitter and hasn't missed a game in four years. 'That can't be good for his back,' Lewis said. 'But I guess he fights through the pain, like he must when he's hunched over playing Quake 4 for hours on end.' When coworker Dave Amato added that Breunich had recently complained of possible carpal tunnel syndrome, excusing him from three major projects, it inspired lively speculation from the group about a new era of potential injuries. 'This has the potential to be a real 'stealth excuse' for Matt,' Lewis said. 'There are times when a headache or a backache just isn't appropriate, and I'm sure those will be exactly the times when his carpal tunnel will flare up.' Breunich was invited to the gathering, but canceled due to an unspecified medical ailment. 
1	Stressing that there is probably no need to get involved, Charlotte Bobcats head coach Steve Clifford expressed confidence Thursday that a fierce ongoing dispute over unpaid gambling debts between two of his players will just work itself out. They seem pretty upset right now, but Im sure that if I give them some time and space, theyll settle it amongst themselves before anything boils over, said Clifford, adding that seeing the players physically restrained by teammates while one furiously demands that the other pay the fuck up right now is almost certainly just normal banter between guys in the locker room. Given that they were only talking about a few thousand dollars from a card game, Im sure theyll resolve the whole thing pretty quicklyafter all, these guys are professionals, so they know how to conduct themselves. Its probably best for me to totally steer clear of this one and just let them handle it. Nothing much to worry about. Clifford also confirmed that rumors circulating about both players keeping unregistered firearms in their lockers are likely just a joke. 
3	Food Banks in NYC Are Running out of FoodBy Joshua Krause It seems that America has developed a permanent underclass of citizens that just cant quite rise above their poverty. No matter how high home prices rise or how far the stock market soars, the profits never seem to trickle down to this segment of society. If youre looking for proof that this permanent underclass exists, look no further than the massive number of people who still rely on food stamps and food pantries to survive. In fact, their ranks may be growing, which is starting to cause some food pantries to run out of resources on a regular basis. In New York City, 1.4 million residents eat at food pantries (out of a total population of 8.5 million), a number which is currently growing 20% every year. The largest influx of food bank users occurred in 2013, when Congress cut the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program by $18 per person. Since that time, 40% of food stamp users have had to turn to food banks to sustain themselves, and 37% of food banks in New York City have admitted that they have turned away hungry residents in recent years, after running out of food. Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple, where this article first appeared. He was born and raised in the Bay Area and is a freelance writer and author.

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. 
3	The Mysteriously Obtuse Case Of The Missing Fukushima FuelBy Richard Wilcox, PhD As the world forever hurtles toward Armageddon, the Fukushima nuclear disaster has largely faded from the front pages. But the issue is far from resolved. Radiation from nuclear accidents is not easily dispelled with estimates of clean-up time at Fukushima ranging from 40 to 500 years, and nearly six years have already passed. Even safely stored nuclear material is dangerous for 100,000 years (1). The major question regarding the situation at Japans Fukushima Dai-ichi (no.1 nuclear power plant) regards the location of the melted fuel at reactor units 1, 2 and 3. Recent evidence of the location of the fuel in unit 2 was disputed, with Tokyo Electric Co. (Tepco) and the mainstream media taking one view and independent scientists taking another. Is the melted fuel still inside the container in the reactor building, or has it leaked out and is now penetrating in scattered areas laterally and vertically into the ground? Large amounts of melted fuel could reach the ground water, and even the aquifer which is ultimately connected to the Tokyo water supply. Lets compare two assessments on this important issue based on the use of Muon tomography: According to the Asahi Shimbun (newspaper) version of reality which relies solely on the Tepco report: Most of the nuclear fuel inside the No. 2 reactor at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant apparently did not melt through the pressure vessel (2). Is it that simple? Tepcos record of reliability has become rather tarnished over the years. Note that in the graphic image above, the word believed is used, which reinforces the word apparently used in the text of the article referring to the uncertainty of the location of the melted fuel. However, the title of the article is more confident, stating that most fuel was contained. The title is blatantly misleading and since most readers just skim the news, that will be what they take away from the report. On the other hand, the independent scientists at the Simply Info website differ about the location of the fuel in relation to the container, the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV): Tepcos superimposed mask demarcates the bottom head too low including fuel inside the rpv which according to the refined image is clearly shown below the bottom head.there is no fuel in the bottom of the RPV in any significant amount (3). This graphic indicates that a different method was used by these scientists to view the location of the melted fuel. In this graphic the Simply Info scientists argue that the container drawing was placed too low in the Tepco version, whereas in their version, it is higher, making it less obvious that the fuel is in the container. Careful reading of this article reveals that Tepcos analysis, as so glibly presented by the mainstream media, was based on technological smoke and mirrors, clearly intended to deceive. Tepco and the media should report on the range of plausible possibilities, not only the small slice of reality they wish the public to see (4; 5). So will the Asahi Shimbun correct their fallacious reporting? Both the Japan Times and the Asahi Shimbun are heavily owned and controlled by foreign investors and media. The Asahi shares offices with the New York Times in Tokyo and many Japanese English dailies rely on Western news wires such as the agenda driven, oligarchic news sources, Reuters and the Associated Press (6). In fact, in over five years much progress has been made to control the situation at the destroyed Fukushima nuclear plant. Much of the rubble has been cleaned up and fresh coats of paints are on the buildings, but the place is still intensely radioactive, and no human can approach the specific reactor meltdown sites. The second major issue at Dai-ichi concerns the future plans for the decommissioning of the plant. All along Tepco has said they will retrieve the melted fuel and complete decommissioning within 40 years. In fact the technology to retrieve the fuel has not yet been invented. Not only is it impossible for human workers to approach the area, but even robots break down due to the radiation short circuiting their wires. It was recently revealed that Japan is still considering an option that many people feel would be very dangerous in the long term, and that is the sarcophagus solution (7). The only time this has been tried is at Chernobyl it looks like a high-tech barn placed over the site (8). Unlike Chernobyl where the ground is rock hard, at Fukushima the ground is akin to a wet sponge with soft topsoil, so while covering it will reduce radioactive atmospheric fallout, the radiation will continue to leak downwards to the aquifer and outwards to the ocean unless appropriate engineering measures are taken. Nevertheless, progress is slow with efforts underway to develop the equipment needed to retrieve corium (melted fuel) samples from inside the containment structures of units 1-3 at the plant. No solid time frame has yet been was mentioned (9). In an interesting aside, the best documentary film on Fukushima I have see so far, Fukushima: A Nuclear Story was released in 2015 (10). It is an Italian production but with English narration and subtitles. The plot follows journalist Pio dEmilio during the nuclear crisis as he tries to uncover the real situation in Fukushima. The film is engaging and educational at the same time, covering new ground and combining dramatic events as they unfold at the time with scientific explanations done in an entertaining, manga comic book style. The film emphasizes the near catastrophe of Tepcos panic during the accident, and the courage and wisdom of then prime minister Naoto Kan, and the Fukushima 50, led by the plant manager Masao Yoshida whose snap judgement literally saved the world. The film raises one very interesting piece of information that I did not know about which is that it was only the luck of the pool fuel gate at unit 4 not closing, in other words, malfunctioning, which allowed water in to cool the scorching fuel rods. Had that not occurred, the fuel rods could have caught fire spreading massive radiation for hundreds of miles. Note that had the Fukushima accident happened at night or on the weekend there would have been far fewer workers at the plant to tackle the problem, possibly leading to a completely out-of-control situation. The ice wall that Tepco built in order to freeze the ground around the plant to block water flow in and out of the plant, continues to have problems. It is a very expensive operation to build and maintain, prone to technical problems and no one really knows when or if it will ever be fully implemented (i.e., taxpayer boondoggle) (11; 12). Even if the ice wall operates as intended it will not stop all of the water flow allowing some to be contaminated (13). Is this why the sarcophagus option is still on the table? Critics have argued that the ice wall was poorly conceived from the start because it did not address dealing with the source of water flow which is at the water shed above the plant in the nearby mountains (Tepco balked at the project due to the high cost). Various nuclear related issues pop up from time to time around country. Since the nuclear accident in 2011, the overwhelming public sentiment has been strongly anti nuclear, despite efforts by the Abe administration to downplay the accident and restart as many of the reactors around the country as possible. The logic of the restarts against public opinion is in order to satisfy the big banks who have financed Japanese utility company operations while reactors have remained idle (expensive but not profit producing) over the past years. Ever since the hugely destructive earthquakes earlier in 2016 on the island of Kyushu, nuclear plant restarts along the path of the fault line, which basically travels through the middle of the entire country, have been in doubt. Still we see for example in Shikoku that nuclear reactors are restarting despite local opposition (14). Although prime minister Abe keeps pushing for resumption of nuclear operations, he probably would not want to work at the Fukushima nuclear disaster clean up site himself. It was recently reported by Japanese scientists that insoluble radioactive cesium has been detected in workers exposed to high levels of radiation at the plant (15). Indeed, the wildlife in Fukushima prefecture has long been reported to be contaminated with radiation, recently a wild boar was detected with massive levels of radiation in its body (16). This is an indication of the general contamination of the environment there. This doesnt stop the Fukushima tourist board from advertising how safe and wonderful life is there. In order to drum up tourist dollars the national government has carried out a massive public relations campaign despite the lingering possibility of numerous radioactive hotspots in the area (17; 18). Maybe things will change a bit if Donald Trump can be elected president in the United States. Trump has promised to reduce US military presence in Japan and let them sort out their own military affairs. This does not bode well for the US-Japan military racket which siphons off billions of dollars in tax revenue to satisfy the greed of both countrys military industrial complexes, which are intensely tied up with the nuclear weapons and power industries (20). Isnt it ironic that the bogeyman of North Korea which is constantly conjured by Japan to justify its own growth in militarism, obtained its original nuclear weapon technology from Britain, a supposed Japan ally (21). Funny old world aint it. * Special thanks to the Simply Info website for their continuous work on the Fukushima issue; and to selfnews Post for their continued reporting.

Why are you showing a green perfectly intact normal reactor interior that does not exist , have you bothered to look at the pictures of those destroyed buildings do you really think unit 4 fuel pool exist when they torn down the part of the building with the pools . How can you be that naive and gullible to even consider unit 4 Well said my friend. The closed loop would have prevented this. The issue with nuclear energy is safe storage of the spent fuel. Try thinking outside of pigeonholes. go hunt down jim stone old satellite photos there are about 5 of them Jim Stone Troll has a theory about why Japan is a seismically active country, in March 2016 the massively destructive quake was some CIA psy op based on some nonsensical website and underwater nuke bomb? Very funny! Why do the comments in this section have nothing whatsoever to do with the contents of the article. Does selfnews Post actually think this comment section is worth anything meaningful? i repeat the photos dont lie What photos? And what does some nonsensical BS have to do with the content of this article? Doh! dont sit here and chastise me about bringing up missing fuel subject on a article about missing fuel.. shills What photos??????!!!!!!! Doh! Jim Stone photo slop specials? they are satellite photos and they are labeled not photoshopped Unit 3 has a small admixture of mixed oxide fuel (MOX), such that less than 1% of the fuel was Pu. All other fuel was nominally low enriched uranium (LEU). T.W. Bowyer et al. 2011 Elevated radioxenon detected remotely following the Fukushima nuclear accident Journal of Environmental Radioactivity Most of the fuel in the FDNPP reactors was UO2, but Unit 3 reactor had 32 mixed-oxide fuel assemblies containing 6% Pu, corresponding to 4% of the core loading. 19 The reactor cores of Units 13 contained about 256 t of nuclear fuel. Determination of 238Pu, 239+240Pu activities in soils collected in central Tokyo also showed no Pu contamination from the FDNPP accident.36 most of plutonium contamination was localized within a few tens of kilometers from the site Therefore, we concluded that immediate Pu contamination from the Fukushima DNPP accident was not observed in marine sediments outside the 30 km zone. the amount of released 238Pu are 4 orders of magnitude [10,000 times] lower than that of the Chernobyl accident. It was found that, the percentages of core inventory released for all the Pu isotopes, were about 5 orders of magnitude [100,000 times] lower than those of the Chernobyl accident. important conclusion was drawn that the Pu isotopes were released from the damaged reactors, but not from the spent fuel pools in the FDNPP.

2	BREAKING: Conservatives Devastated Nationwide After Finding Out Donald Might Not Actually Have Won According to reports from BBC, Hillary Clintons lead over Donald Trump in the popular vote count of the US presidential election has increased to two million. Trump won the majority of the electoral college votes and will be inaugurated in January. Now, with votes still being counted, the Cook Political Report has the tally at 62.2M to 64.2M. This marks the fifth time in this nations history the winner of the popular vote lost the election. In 2000, George W. Bush won the electoral vote, even though Gore won the popular vote by 544,000. At the time, the Supreme Court ultimately decided the election by awarding Bush a win in the state of Florida. This year, Trump won most of the so-called swing stateswhich ultimately decided the outcome of the elections. Now, a group of lawyers and data experts is trying to persuade the Clinton team to join in their effort to investigate the results in three states to ensure there was no foreign computer hacking that manipulated the outcome. Meanwhile, Trump has issued a Thanksgiving message urging the country to join in his effort to rebuild the country and heal. Emotions are raw and tensions just dont heal overnight, Trump said. It doesnt go quickly, unfortunately, but we have before us the chance now to make history together to bring real change to Washington, real safety to our cities, and real prosperity to our communities, including our inner cities. What do you think of these new statistics? 
3	10 Commandments of Survival You Need to Know AboutBy Gaye Levy As I have expressed many times in the past, the burden of knowledge, or perhaps I should say the burden of truth and knowledge, can be a huge weight to bear. That, coupled with the crazy busy task of life during these uncertain times, can be overwhelming. Getting up each day, going to work, doing chores, balancing the checkbook, taking care of family members its all a big job. Add prepping and learning new survival skills to the mix and you have a recipe for exhaustion and perhaps even a bit of depression and gloom. To help overcome my own dizzying sense of having too much to do and too much to prepare for, I sat down a couple of years ago and attempted to put my own rules for survival into words. I called these words the 10 commandments of survival. At the time, they brought focus and meaning to preparing for hard times. Now, two years later, I find they still apply. I am bringing them back newly updated as a reminder of why we prep as defined by the prepping rules of engagement. Having the will to live requires a strong sense of self-preservation and is something we must all work at on a daily basis. To fall into despondency will sabotage our efforts to prepare for that time when supplies are short, when chaos rules the streets or when economic collapse has bankrupted the world. Now I am not saying that any or all of these things will happen. But on my own risk-meter, these things are right there at the top along with a regional natural disaster such as an earthquake. The only question is when. When chaos reigns the land or a natural disaster strikes, we need to do our darndest to take care of ourselves. We need to have our own food, our own source of clean, purified water, our own medical supplies, and most important, a robust skill set that will allow us to live quite comfortably without electricity or petroleum products. There will still be a need for government assistance but that assistance should go to those that are truly needy through no fault of their own. That includes the wounded, the sick, the working poor, the elderly, children, and the disabled. This may be a pipe dream but in my sense of right and wrong, taking care of the truly needy is something that governments should do provided that these same people have gone as far as they can to take of themselves. There are so many free or almost free sources of information these days butthe tough part is determining who is credible and who is not. Luckily, it is pretty easy to vet the reliable members of the alternative press. These reporters attempt to tell the news without fear-mongering and without getting you to spend money (unless you want to of course). Even before seeking knowledge as a solution, some effort has to be put into both identifying and prioritizing of the problems at hand. Why not identify five or six problems and find good solid solutions to those before moving on to the next group? While we still have a reliable power grid, download free e-books or visit survival and homesteading websites to pick up skills. Take advantage of the wealth of DIY information at your local library for free. Learn do-it-yourself skills, then continue to practice and to drill and to learn some more. Turn problems into solutions by using knowledge as your tool. As comfortable as we may be in our homes, the time may come when you have to evacuate and leave. Your housemay get destroyed in a natural disaster such as a hurricane, flood or earthquake. Or, due to the woes of the economy and unexpected unemployment, you may have to sell the four-bedroom ranch house and move to a modest apartment. The house in which you live is built of sticks and cement and bricks and mortar. Your home, on the other hand, is where ever you happen to live and, if you are lucky, where you are surrounded by loved ones, even if they are the four-legged type. Learning to adapt to your surroundings the people, the geography, and the social milieu will allow you to embrace change as an adventure even when the causative circumstances may not be pleasant. And that all translates into less stress. Avoiding a decision when the choices are poor to begin with leads to complacency and, even worse, doing nothing. On the other hand, making a decision and then pursuing that decision with decisiveness and gusto will likely lead to positive results. Sure, the result may not be perfect, but the willingness to make decisions, even in the face of uncertainty, means you are taking responsibility for your actions and for the outcome of your decision. And right or wrong, you will learn from the experience. Doing nothing is simply not acceptable. Being fearful and running scared is what the PTB wants you to do. Fear translates into submission and submission results in being controlled. Add a bit of brainwashing and the result starts to sound like Hitlers Germany. A good way to avoid fear is to be prepared to fend for yourself in all types of situations. Go back and analyze the most likely risks within your sphere of life and prepare for those first. Go back to commandment #3 and seek knowledge as a solution to problems. Take control of fear by channeling your energy into positive actions. Embrace freedom and defend your right to liberty. What is liberty? How about: We currently live in a world of airport pat-downs, forced healthcare, mandatory vaccinations, and the unauthorized surveillance of our whereabouts and our communications. If many politicians have their way, soon we may lose our right to bear arms and defend ourselves. Dont give up your rights without a fight. And dont be so afraid of the power elites that you fail to speak up to defend those rights. Some people will cower and hide. Instead, why not band together with like-minded people and make your voice heard. If we dont do it, who will? Notwithstanding #7, everyone has the right to their opinions and their right to privacy. There are some things that people simply do not want to talk about or share. Move on and respect their privacy. The time will come when you will want them to respect yours. We all need a break because, truly, it is all too much these days. Call it down time, call it personal time. Whatever the name, love a little and laugh a little each and every day. Love and laughter are a big part of living a strategic life. As difficult as it may be, especially during a crisis, take ten minutes or take an hour but do take some time each day to embrace survival in this most essential manner. One reason kids matter is that they are not spoiled by life. When they are very young, they only know truth. They dont understand deceit and lies. When things are not going well, it is easy to pretend and fantasize that things are different. There is nothing wrong with that as long that you know in your heart of hearts that reality is quite different. You cannot make reasonable, practical and viable decisions based upon myth. You need facts. To survive, you need to acknowledge these facts and accept the truth. Truth will lead to trust, and trusting your decisions is paramount for others to trust you as well. To be real means to be true to yourself regardless what others think. And without being real, the other commandments just dont matter. These 10 commandments of survival were set down to help me cope with my own anxiety and sense of uncertainty about our future as citizens of the world. As a prepper, I know I cannot prepare for every single one of our global problems, nor can I prevent Mother Nature from doing what she is going to do. At best, all I can do is to continue to learn to be self-reliant and independent so that I can keep my sanity and my ability to think rationally under stress. Some days it is difficult. On those days, I will look at these 10 commandments and will continue think of ways that I can do more. At the end of the day, that is all I can do. The world is still scary and I still believe that the worst is yet to come. Sadly it is not a matter of if, but a matter of when. Enjoy your next adventure through common sense and thoughtful preparation! Gaye started Backdoor Survival to share her angst and concern about our deteriorating economy and its impact on ordinary, middle-class folks. She also wanted to become a prepper of the highest order and to share her knowledge as she learned it along the way. She considers her sharing of knowledge her way of giving back and as always, we at selfnews Post are grateful for her contributions. If you would like to read more from Gaye Levy, check out her blog at http://www.backdoorsurvival.com/. You can also visit her Facebook page or sign up for updates by email by clicking on Backdoor Survival Updates. Well happy New Year, now we have new thoughts to get it started right. These reminders are always welcome to keep us focused on why we do these things, even when the day to day is sometimes overwhelming. Thanks Liberty is not freedom. Liberty requires license for permission; you still have the slave collar on your person and your wallet. The economy collapsed years ago, people are just becoming aware of it. Most young people I know beyond school age either have no work or need to have multiple part-time jobs and still live with their parents. I think alternative journalism needs to take off the blinders; although I prefer real investigative reportage over cubicle journalism and the mainstream media. There really isnt anyway to be secure in a non-gun and/or gun free zone considering the present levels of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, chem-trails, Geo-engineering, bio-warfare, pharmaceutical poisoning, HAARP, militarization and the brutal and corrupt actions of the police. Owning a liberating registered weapon is not going to save your butt when you have to shoot to kill the police, military personnel or your starving neighbors.The Age of Kali is one of destruction and annihilation that is beyond personal survival. The elites will help to bring about the purging of the planet which has been in process for decades but they will fail in bringing about their Golden Age for their own New and/or Old World Order; as they have been duped by their handlers and the Reptilian Overlords. The elites have been bought off with the wealth and power of the new alien technology and the false promise of survival, life extension and power in the post-apocalyptic era. The tall white Reptilians do not need the elites once the planet has been cleansed. The actual great awakening will occur when the elites wake up from their hoodwinked experience and throw off the mind control of the alien predators and our progenitors. When the elites are unbound or destroyed; humanity will be liberated and can begin to experience freedom. Well one Gaye but you missed one out under What is Liberty?. Id suggest added to the list: The right to exercise free speech

Given the nature of what happened here, we would greatly appreciate it if you would respect our privacy during this bitchin time so as not to distract anyone from all of the cool shit happening to us,' said a spokesperson for the family, wearing a tuxedo with an unfastened bow tie. Therefore, we will not be making any further comments to the media for the foreseeable future. Woooo! In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully asked that people send pizza and beer and keep it coming. 
2	You Wont Believe Who The Dallas Shooter Was Caught Meeting With On Camera Before His Massacre Americans are still in shock after a gunman opened fire at a Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas on Thursday night, killing five police officers. The gunman has been identified as 25-year-old Micah Xavier Johnson. CBC reports that Johnson was an enlisted solider who had served a tour of duty in Afghanistan. Since coming back, he had been heavily involved in Obamas Black Lives Matter movement. The suspect said he was upset about Black Lives Matter, Dallas Police Chief David Brown commented. He said he was upset about the recent police shootings. The suspect said he was upset at white people. The suspect stated that he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers. Johnson was ultimately killed by police using a robot-delivered bomb after hours of overnight negotiations in a parking garage failed. Just one day after the tragedy, a photo has surface of Johnson with a famous celebrity. The picture shows him next to Richard (Professor Griff) Griffin, a former member of Public Enemy who was criticized for his anti-Semitic comments in 1989. It is unclear whether the two men had a deeper connection. 
2	The Truth About Donald Trumps Election That Liberal Media Is Suppressing Its safe to say this election was unlike any weve seen before. Following Donald Trumps victory, liberals have erupted in riots and protests demanding that the Electoral College turn their backs on the system. But perhaps one of the most shocking elements of this election was just how biased the mainstream media really is. Many Trump supporters have felt this first hand. They have been attacked for their vote and labeled homophobic or racist just for supporting a candidate they believe ina candidate who proposes a real change for this country instead of just more of the same corruption wed see with another Clinton presidency. Many people have been focusing in on the mainstream medias biased coverage of the electionand the twisted polls are just scratching the surface. Before the election, major news sites were reporting that Clinton had an 80% chance of winning the election. America feels manipulated and betrayed, to the point where many people and changing their viewership or canceling their subscriptions to major news sources. President-elect Donald Trump weighed in on the matter on Twitter, pointing out that The Times had lost thousands of subscribers since the election. What do you think? Should the mainstream media be held accountable for their backward portrayal of Trump throughout the election process? Was Donald Trump right all along? 
2	Constitutional Crisis Could Force Obama Out Of White House In a recent interview with Trunews, Retired U.S. Air Force Lt. General Thomas McInerney and Retired U.S. Army General Paul Vallely talked seriously about the possibility of a Constitutional crisis that could occur at the hands of President Barack Obama. This will be a potential reality if Obama refuses to protect the American people from the threat of ISIS. As we know, Obama has refused to even acknowledge Islam as a threat. Now, the generals claim that it could get to the point where the U.S. Military would have to take matters into their own hands and remove Obama from office. Watch the fuel interview below and tell us what you think. 
3	Dont Confuse the Right to Bear Arms for a Right to Commit ViolenceEric Blair Its normal to react emotionally to such an awful event, especially when we can relate to the victims. This shooting hit home for me much more so than others in the past. One, because Im from a small town in Connecticut and, second, because the principal killed was my sons Kindergarten principal before we decided to homeschool. So I deeply understand the grief. However,we must do our best to not react out of emotion, and try to maintain some of our logical sensibilities. Even gun rights advocates dont know how to respond because the usual arguments like self-defense or that guns dont kill people without someone pulling the trigger are lost to those grieving. Whats most disturbing is that some gun control advocates seem to be equating the right to own a gun with the right to commit violence. These are two very different things. No one has the right to commit violence or kill. The right to own a gun is not a license to kill, its a right to self-defense. I believe self-defense to be a God-given right, maybe even an obligation to preserve ourselves. The devil is in the details, however. Possessing a gun should not be a crime; misuse of the gun against another is a crime.In a sense its like drug prohibition. Drug possession should not be a crime because they may only cause the user harm, but if the addict violates someone elses rights (theft, assault, etc.) while on drugs or to get drugs, then they broke the law. Speaking of prohibition, were fully-automatic Tommy guns to blame for Al Capones violence or was it the policy of alcohol prohibition? Additionally, do gun control advocates believe they will get rid of guns by prohibiting ownership of them? Has drug use gone down since prohibiting drugs? Even limited prohibition of guns will not solve anything or bring back the deceased from this atrocious act. Some argue that the 2nd Amendment Right to Keep and Bear Arms for defense is outdated. Is the right for a citizen in Afghanistan to own a gun outdated? Is it in Israel? Or Chicago? America is no different. Perhaps because there are so many guns in the hands of street thugs its even more vital to protect our right to self-defense in the United States. I agree that there should be limitations on firepower, but citizens should be able to possess equal force of anyone that they may have to defend against, including law enforcement. Therefore, if there are any legal limitations on guns, it should extend to all possible aggressors. In other words, cops should not be able to have fully automatic assault rifles if citizens arent allowed to have them. The government should not have a different set of laws than the people. Of course, no citizen should have advanced military weapons like rocket launchers because they arent used in law enforcement in the US, yet. So I dont condone the right of personal ownership of nukes, but I also dont condone it for our military either. It is shameful that the US has 12K gun homicides per year. Yet over 75% are gang-related (Wiki). In other words theyre heavily influenced by social policies like illegal drugs and the desperation of poverty. Even more shameful are 17.5K suicides by guns each year. We have a problem much deeper than gunsand I wish that was the focus of all the outrage. The motivation behind the seemingly random acts of violence against innocent people in Connecticut and Aurora is much more difficult to determine than Al Capones violence. Yet, it is just as important because the guns did not cause the violence, mentally unstable people did. Everyone who is hurting over this incident is clamoring for a quick fix to prevent this type of tragedy in the future. Unfortunately, there is no quick fix because this is a deep morality problem and maybe a psychiatric drug problem, not a gun problem. And, in that regard, we have a long way to go. When the people at the highest levels of our leadership condone killing innocent children in other countries, how can we expect that mentality to not trickle down into society? When our first reaction to difficult children is to drug them with chemicals proven to cause suicidal/homicidal tendencies, why are we continually surprised when that is the outcome? These are just two of the many questions that should be asked by those who wonder why this happened beyond the choice of what type of tool was used during this massacre. It seems the long-term solution is creating a more loving and compassionate society, but judging from the hatred directed at innocent and lawful gun owners the last few days, this too is a long way off. PS: I am not a gun owner because I believe in peace and love and all that hippie shit, but I dont want to lose my right to own one should I feel its necessary to defend myself.

2	So Sue Me: Obama Taunts Republicans For A Reason You Wont Believe In the face of immense criticism, it appears that President Obama has decided to take a less than humble approach. In response to Republicans threatening to sue him for abuse of his power he has one message: go ahead and sue. With this words Obama makes one thing absolutely clearhe is not about to make any changes to his behavior any time soon. According to some recent reports, the Speaker of the House is in the process of filing a lawsuit against Obama. Lets just hope that something comes of his action. What do you think of Obamas latest taunt? 
3	Someone Demonstrated the True Value of Votes by Throwing Them in a DumpsterBy Lily Dane Case in point: A ballot box at the Klamath Basin Senior Center in Klamath Falls, Oregon was broken into over the weekend and ballots were found in a nearby dumpster. From The Bulletin: The Klamath County Sheriffs Office is investigating after around 240 ballots were taken from a box near the Klamath Basin Senior Center. The recovered ballots can still be counted, Klamath County Clerk Linda Smith said. The State Elections Division has advised that the recovered ballots can be processed and counted, according to the clerks office. First thought: Are they surethey recoveredall of the tossed ballots? How would they know? What if some blew away, or ended up stuck to the bottom of someones shoe, or where carried away by a bird for use as nest-building material? Anyway Klamath County residents were voting on whether to overturn their countys ban on marijuana dispensaries and on candidates for a state Senate seat. Secretary of State spokeswoman Molly Woon says anyone whose ballot was not turned in by Monday evening will not have their vote counted, reports KOIN. Woon told KOIN thatstealing ballots is a felony and something the state takes very seriously. The Oregon presidential primary is today,along with a host of state and local races. Oregon is now one of three states that vote entirely by mail (the others are Washington andColorado). Ballots can be mailed in or placed in one of the185 drop boxes available around the state. In 1996, Oregon Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden became the first person ever elected to Congress exclusively through a vote-by-mail election. Hes a big supporter of the system, and is submitting a bill that would require all federal elections to be held via mail. Some say that voting by mail increases the risk of fraud, as NBC reported several years ago: Election fraud is rare, but it usually involves absentee or mail ballots, said Paul Gronke, a Reed College political scientist, who directs the Early Voting Information Center in Oregon. He cites what he calls a classic example of election fraud, a local official stealing votes by filling out absentee ballots. That was the case in Lincoln County, W.Va., where the sheriff and clerk pleaded guilty to distributing absentee ballots to unqualified voters and helping mark them during a 2010 Democratic primary. Curtis Gans, director of the Center for the Study of the American Electorate, said vote-buying and bribery could occur more easily with mail voting and absentee voting. At a polling place, someone who bribed voters would have no way to verify that the bribe worked. A person who bribes mail voters could watch as they mark ballots or even mark ballots for them. Gans also points to the potential to influence voters in gatherings that some call ballot-signing parties. A caregiver could mark a dependents ballot. All the other types of fraud are essentially hard to do and easy to defend against, Gans said. This isnt. Other concerns include the security of mailed ballots, smudges, lost mail, and mishandled ballots. In fact, the ballot-trashing in Klamath isnt the only problem that has surfaced in Oregon this year: some voters were sent multiple ballots, some were sent outdated ones, and others were sent the wrong ballots. It is often said that voters might as well pitch their ballots right in the garbage, so maybe whoever tampered with the ballot box in Klamath did everyone a favor. Thesystem is rigged anyway elections are nonsense. They serve to maintain the illusion that we actually have a say in selecting new masters. Participating in the system legitimizes it voters are giving their permission to keep the current system in place. Lily Dane is a staff writer for The Daily Sheeple.

3	Police Militarization Program A Federally Sponsored Gunshow That Never EndsBy Mike Maharrey According to a new report by Open the Books, the feds transferred $2.2 billion worth of military gear to state and local agencies through Federal Program 1033 from 2006 and 2015. Report author Adam Andrzejewski described it as a federally-sponsored gun show that never ends. The 1033 program transfers surplus military weapons and equipment to state and local agencies at no cost. The receiving agency then must foot the bill for its upkeep. Not only dopolice departments get war weapons from the feds, park districts, forest preserves, junior colleges, universities, natural resource departments and public safety agencies also score surplus military equipment from this federal program. Military grade weapons transferred to local police include tens of thousands of M16/M14 rifles, helicopters, armored vehicles, night vision gear, sniper scopes, mine detection gear, grenade launchers and more than 5,000 bayonets. In Illinois, the Department of Natural Resources received 174 M16 and M14 rifles. That seems like a lot of firepower to enforce hunting laws. The amount of military equipment obtained by local cops has steadily increased over the last decade. In 2006, the feds transferred a total of 32,555 items to state and local cops. In 2015, the total came in at 540,176. Florida ranks as the number one state for militarized police. Since 2006, cops in the Sunshine State have acquired $304,009,144.27 worth of military weaponry. Texas, California, Tennessee and Arizona round out the top-five. The $2.2 billion reported by Open the Books doesnt include military gear acquired by state and local law enforcement through Depart of Defense grants and other federal funding sources. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) runs the Homeland Security Grant Program, which in 2013 gave more than $900 million in counterterrorism funds to state and local police. According to a 2012 Senate report, this money has been used to purchase tactical vehicles, drones, and even tanks with little obvious benefit to public safety. According to ProPublica, In 1994, the Justice Department and the Pentagon funded a five-year program to adapt military security and surveillance technology for local police departments that they would otherwise not be able to afford. Arming peace officers like theyre ready to occupy an enemy city is totally contrary to the society envisioned by the Founders, Tenth Amendment Center founder and executive director Michael Boldin said. Theyve turned protect and serve into command and control. In the 1980s, the federal government began arming, funding and training local police forces, turning peace officers into soldiers to fight in its unconstitutional War on Drugs. The militarization went into hyper-drive after 9/11 when a second front opened up the War on Terror. Public outrage at the sight of military vehicles rolling through the streets of Ferguson, and officers pointing automatic weapons at unarmed protestors, sparked outrage and focused attention on the militarization of police. But it clearly hasnt stemmed the flow of weapons into local police departments. As long as local cops can get their hands on this kind of weaponry, they will. The only way to stop it is for states to prohibit their law enforcement agencies from participating in this arms race. New Jersey took the first step last year, passing a law banning local law enforcement agencies from obtaining this equipment without first getting approval from their local government. In the vast majority of cases, these military transfers happen directly between the feds and local police, as if they make up part of the same government. It often happens in complete secrecy. The New Jersey law interposes the local government in the process, giving the people of New Jersey the power to end it, and at the least, forcing the process into the open. The second step is to pass an outright ban on police departments obtaining certain types of gear. A Montana law that went into effect last fall prohibits state or local law enforcement agencies from receiving armored drones, weaponized, or both; aircraft that are combat configured or combat coded; grenades or similar explosives and grenade launchers; silencers; and militarized armored vehicles from federal military surplus programs.

3	11 Steps to Living a Strategic Life A Guide to 2012 and BeyondGaye Levy, Contributor Seriously though, our book is available starting today on our websites and also at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Our Official Statement to the World For those of you that are interested in such things, here is the official press release: PALESTINE, TX, September 10, 2012 Two highly ranked economic and personal survival website authors have announced release of a short ($2.99) eBook titled 11-Steps to Living a Strategic Life. The book outlines the key differences between living in fear versus living as part of an independent-minded overall strategy. A lot of people think of preppers and they think of the TV show Doomsday Preppers and other media reports which portray extreme examples, said co-author Gaye Levy. We wanted to make it clear that prepping is not an extremist or anti-establishment decision. Most of it is just good common sense. Ms. Levys website, www.backdoorsurvival.com, is one of the leading personal and family preparedness sites on the internet. George Ures site,www.urbansurvival.com, focuses on long wave economic trends, especially those lasting more than just a presidential term in office, or two. People dont widely appreciate that the world is in an echo-depression of the 1930s event and it has been driven by many of the same factors, observed Ure. When you look at the data, the last depression was caused in large part due to economic displacement caused by the communications revolution (like radio) and the displacement of draft animals by internal combustion engines on and off the farm. The two offer complimentary perspectives: Ms. Levy is a former technology company owner while Ures background includes broadcast news, higher education, as well as airline and software company management. This book doesnt pedal fear, said Levy. What we do is simply lay out a business-like and logical method of strategic thinking which can address a wide range of possible future threats. Ure, whose book Broken Web: The Coming Collapse of the Internetwill be released later this month agrees: Economic collapse, pandemic, terrorism on homeland soilare all legitimate concerns. But what were trying to provide is the framework for a reasonable personal response which includes planning and a good bit of self-education. The goal, the two agree, is to set your life up to winregardless of what happens in the future. The eBook is available for purchase at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and also directly from the authors web sites at www.backdoorsurvival.comand www.urbansurvival.com. The Final Word The title, 11 Steps to Living a Strategic Life, pretty much says it all. Call it a bit of real-life motivation to survive and endure or call it a bit of instant motivation. In either case, I hope you enjoy it. You may purchase a copy for $2.99 by clicking the graphic above and also, if you prefer, on Amazon (for Kindle) and Barnes and Noble (for Nook, Sony and other epub readers).

2	Malia Obama Does Something Shocking While Out To Dinner With A Friend It is not secret that life is less than paradise for the Obama family inside the White House. Unfortunately, thanks to Michelle Obamas extreme censorship of the media, we hear very little about the lives of Malia and Sasha. What we do know is that the few times that Malia has made headlines, its either been for family vacations or questionable behavior. Recently, the First Daughter was seen dining out with a friend in Washington, D.C. at the Open City Caf. The restaurant is located between two major hotels, and Malia ate there with one of her friends. She ordered a frozen chai and eggs Benedict, a meal that certainly wouldnt meet her mothers qualifications for a school lunch. According to observers, Malias friend was left to pick up the tab. Even more shocking, she decided to tip the waitress less than 20%. Although no photos have surfaced of the incident, Malia was reported to be wearing questionably short cut-offs. This is just one of many risqu outfits that the minor has been seen touting in public. What do you think of the First Daughters meal out? 
2	Geraldo Gets Completely Embarrassed On Live TV Over Ferguson Comments Recently, Fox News host Geraldo Rivera has found himself in hot water time and time again for his controversial comments. Now, hes making headlines for a statement he made about the trial in the Mike Brown case. The white jurors will look at that convenience store surveillance tape. They will see Michael Brown menacing that clerk. The white jurors will put themselves in the shoes of that clerk, Rivera claimed. Theyll say, of course the officer responded the way he did he was menaced by a 6-foot 4-inch, 300-pound kid, 10 minutes fresh from a strong armed robbery. The officer was defending himself. The white jurors will put themselves in the white officers place. However, Riveras prediction for black jurors was much different. The black jurors will see Michael Brown despite his flaws as the surrogate for every black youngster ever shot by a cop. What do you think of Riveras comments? Were they spot on or out of line? 
2	This Is Who Organized The Confederate Flag Welcome For Obama Lately, the liberal media has been on a mission to eliminate the Confederate flag from existence, painting it as a symbol of hatred and racism. However, many Americans are defending the flag as a symbol of Southern heritage and pride, much to the dismay of the Obama administration. When Obama arrived in Oklahoma City recently, he was met by a crowd of supporters waving the Confederate flag. Many of them were black. In fact, the organizer of the event was Andrew Duncomb, a man who calls himself The Black Rebel. We dont believe its a symbol of racism, Duncomb told a local reporter. Theyre blaming the racist problems on the flag and not on the real problems of America. Through the race lies the people who carry and harbor the hate inside. Obama was forced to venture through crowds of people and trucks with the Confederate flag waving proudly. There have been mixed reactions to the greeting on social media. What do you think of the protesters? Do you support the Confederate flag? 
3	Mega-Banks Plan to Steal Your Money and Blame Fake Muslim Cyber AttackSusanne Posel, Contributor Lieberman explains: I dont believe these were just hackers. I believe this was done by Iran and the Qods force, which has its own developing cyber-attack capacity. And I believe it was in response to the increasingly strong economic sanctions that the United States and our European allies have put on Iranian financial institutions. The US government is planting the propaganda seed that according to highly classified documents provided by the Join Chiefs of Staffs Intelligence Directorate confirm that Iranian hackers are committing cyber-attacks against US financial institutions. This report assures that US mega-banks are a valid target of the Iranian cyber army. However, the attackers used a known forum that is utilized by the CIA-controlled Anonymousto issue threats and brag about their successes. The timing of the newly formed digital al-Qaeda and their expressed anger over the US-produced anti-Muslim film are questionable considering how the US and Israeli government are setting the stage for a justified war with Iran. This fake hacker group is threatening other countries controlled by the Zionist regime, such as France, Germany and Britain. Accordingto the false flag group: The army was recently formed and we have started to work as a team after we used to work individually. The hacking operations are of course a response to the offence against the prophet, peace and blessing be upon him. This week, Wells Fargo Co. upped their cybersecurity measures after being attacked by a nameless, faceless group calling themselves Cyber Fighters of Izz ad-din Al Qassam. Wells Fargo announced in a formal statement: We apologize to customers who may be experiencing intermittent access issues to wellsfargo.com and online banking. We are working to quickly resolve this issue. Customer complaints included difficulty logging-in as well as pages not loading properly. Cyber Fighters of Izz ad-din Al Qassam claimed that their attack was retaliatory for the anti-Muslim film produced by the US government. According to House Representative, Mike Rogers, the anti-Muslim film was released to cover the US governments involvementin the bombing and death of US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens at the hand of the CIA-sponsored al-Qaeda. The film in question is actually a 14-minute trailer written, produced and directed by Sam Bacile, a.k.a. Nakoula Basseley Nakoula who is an FBI informant, an Israeli citizen and the patsy used by the Zionist regime in order to facilitate a manufactured revolt of fake Islamic tension in the Middle East. Just as the false flag bomb threatscalled in by anonymous members of al-Qaeda earlier this month, this banking threat has the hallmarks of a state-sponsored false flag to unnerve the American public, mask a planned implosion of the US economy through the ultimate theft of the banking cartels: the money deposited into private checking accounts by banking customers. On August 9th the banks were given the legal authority to steal moneyfrom their customers private accounts just as Jon Corzine had with MF Global with the rulingon Sentinel Management Group. Based on the ruling, regulatory systems such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SPIC) will not insure customer funds, investments, depositors and retirees who hold accounts in banks. In fact, the FDIC has announcedthat beginning in January 2013, they will stop insuring all deposits. Of the estimated $1.6 trillion in deposits, and a measured 85-90% in the hands of the mega-banks, large depositors are expected to close their accounts due to the lack of security. The money in deposits will be funneled through the US Treasury for short-term securities. It is expected that the US Treasury will offer negative interest rates; this combination will surely cause a run on the banks that will put Spain and Greece to shame. Per request of the Federal Reserve Bank, in 2010 the mega-banks filed contingency planswherein the US government could not assist them. Called resolution plans, they describe how to liquidate banking assets without causing further damage to a failing financial system. By selling non-core assets without upsetting shareholders while protecting the monetary system, taxpayers and creditors is the work of the mega-banks who have contributed solely to the destruction of the global financial markets. In the event of insolvency, duress or bankruptcy, the banks could use customer secured funds to assist them in repaying debts and loans. Currently Bank of America (BoA) has sold offportions of their domestic assets to secure capitol while Citigroup has followed suit. By adhering to initiatives provided by the Financial Stability Board, these mega-banks will, when they enact their resolution plans, coordinate with international banking institutions and regulators rather than simply implode. Recently, the former mortgage broker of JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley revealed that due to their involvement in the mortgage-backed securities and derivatives fraud, they are selling off their non-core assets. This means that Morgan Stanley is becoming insolvent. The recent false flag attacks on our banks falls in line with the scenario that has been coming into view for quite some time. In America, just announcing a banking holiday would cause absolute chaos and there may not be enough armed forces within our US borders to handle the rioting in the streets. However, the banking cartels must implode the US economy in order to gain the sovereign debt as they are currently doing in Spain and Greece. Meanwhile, there is a Zionist plot to attack Iran over false claims of procurement of nuclear weapons that do not exist. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has been peddling this liesince 1992. Twenty years later, it appears that the Zionist-controlled Israeli government may just have their war with Iran along with the unwavering support of the US government. Framing Iran for the American banking systems computer failure kills two birds with one stone. Not only would the banking cartels be able to shut down all banking computers (and simultaneously syphon the remaining money in their customers accounts) but also use this fake cyber-attack to engage the American public against Iran and justify their highly anticipated military strike. By blaming Iran, the technocrats could initiate the shutdown of all domestic banking computer systems in order to purge the virus and reconfigure their systems. However, this would be a false flag meant to pacify the public to avert mass panic. While the general public would fall for the cover story, the banking cartels would simply electronically transfer all customer funds from private checking accounts out to off-shore banks where they could not be touched and cover their tracks. The American public, being told that Iran was to blame might not riot in the streets as we have seen in European countries of late. There would be total support for the war with Iran if this scheme could be pulled off. The technocrats could not only bankrupt America but also simultaneously stave off a social display and breakdown of society because the Iranians would be to blame. The plan is perfect. All we have to do is not be fooled and use the recent riots in Spain as a barometer as to how we can take this country back from the Zionists and the banking cartels. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	BREAKING: The FBI Just Did It... Hillary Indictment Imminent Hillary Clinton has struggled to recover after the FBI announced they would be reopening the investigation into her use of a personal email server during her time as Secretary of State. Now, sources close to the investigation are claiming it is extremely likely this will result in an indictment. Fox News Brit Hume acknowledged investigators are actively and aggressively pursuing this case and have an avalanche of evidence against the Democratic presidential nominee. Sources have come forward with claims there is a 90 percent chance Clinton will see justice for her actions; unless, of course, the investigation is once again obstructed by the Department of Justice. The FBI was reportedly told to stand down in mid-August. Are you telling me that I need to shut down a validly predicated investigation? the FBIs Deputy Director, Andrew McCabe, reportedly responded. Of course not, the Justice Department allegedly responded. Bret Baier also told Hume a lot of evidence has been discovered on Anthony Weiners laptop. The evidence does make an indictment appear likely, but it could come months after the election. I pressed, again and again, on this very issue, Baier told Hume. These sources said, yes, the investigations will continue, theres a lot of evidence, and barring some obstruction in some way, they believe theyll continue to, likely, an indictment. Baier did not confirm who he believes will be a target of the indictment, or when it will be issued. He did note that his sources say they are more than 99 percent confident Clintons email server had been hacked by at least five foreign intelligence agencies. What do you think of these reports? Could Clinton finally face justice for her many careless crimes?

1	According to neighbors living near local French bulldog Ruggles, the humiliation-loving canine apparently derives intense pleasure from being stark naked, clipped to a movement-constricting leash, and paraded around in public. Witnesses say that Ruggles, who is reportedly totally shameless about his demented, anything-goes lifestyle, seemingly takes some sort of twisted glee in wearing a thick harness and walking around on all fours while being fully subdued by his owner, 34-year-old Brian Paulson. Just look at that depraved freak, said astonished neighbor Stacey Hampton, watching the nude animal fully hunched over and debasing himself by following Paulsons patronizing commands to come, sit, and stay. Every afternoon theyre at it again, playing this sadistic little game where Brian is the master and Ruggles is his slave or somethingin broad daylight no less! And at the park, too, in front of dozens of people, Hampton continued. But does Ruggles complain? No, he does exactly as hes told. Ruggles wants to be dominated. He likes it. Many in the community echoed Hamptons remarks, noting that the dog has regularly been seen in compromising situations, including being tied up outside at night, drinking water from a dirty bowl using only his tongue, and shamefully bowing down in a submissive pose whenever Paulson calls him a very bad boy. Others verified a particularly warped routine in which Ruggles relieves himself right in the middle of the sidewalk, all while staring intently at his owners face. Every time I see him hes into some new shitreally weird stuff Ive never even heard of before, said local business owner Kevin Nichols, who claims to have once watched Ruggles partake in some kind of role-playing fantasy where his owner pretends to shoot him and he pretends to be a lifeless corpse. Sometimes hell even pick up pieces of litter from the ground with his teeth and just sits there chewing on it until his master pulls it out of his mouth. Then he gets disciplined. I bet thats his favorite part. Sick little weirdo, added Nichols. Complete strangers who have crossed paths with Ruggles confirmed that the dog is equally willing to demean himself in front of them, with multiple sources saying the deviant was very eager to lick their shoes, sniff their pant legs, or pitifully beg to be stroked as part of some sort of self-abasing come-on. Look, I get it, everyone has their kinks, but do you really have to work it all out in front of the entire community? said neighbor Alan Bauman. If you get your rocks off by acting like a servant and crawling around with a tennis ball in your mouth, then fine. But there are kids out here, man. Jesus. While most local residents expressed unabashed disgust in Ruggles continued perversions, some offered sympathy for the dog they say cant help but punish himself day in and day out. He obviously cant control his behavior; its like a compulsive thing, said local mail carrier Michael Nealon. I mean, this is a dog that, at a very early age, had to wait for permission to urinate, and slept in a small cage surrounded by blankets that had been infused with his owners scent. Bizarre shit like that. All thats going to affect how you get your jollies as an adult, you know? I mean, if I went through all that, I bet Id enjoy publicly rolling around on the ground, naked, panting, for all the world to see, Nealon added. Who could blame me? Sources also confirmed they arent sure whats going on with Ruggles owner, Brian, who apparently has some sort of fetish for picking up feces in small plastic bags.

3	UN Peacekeepers: Defenders of Law or Felons?Valery Kulikov According to a series of publications by Bruxelles2, France Info, Guardian and a number of other media outlets, a number of French and Georgian soldiers that were employed in the UN peacekeeping operation Sangaris in Central Africa, are responsible for child sexual abuse. It should be recalled that an armed conflict between the government of the Central African Republic and Muslim rebels, many of which took part in the civil war of 2004-2007, resulted in the French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian announcing that France would deploy a thousand soldiers in CAR to carry out a UN peacekeeping mission. On December 9, 2013 the United States decided to take part in this operation, while the Georgian parliament also agreed to send its soldiers to CAR a year later, on February 22, 2014. By June 2014 the number of Georgian Armed Forces in the Central African Republic reached 140 members. According to the French news agency France Info, French and Georgian soldiers were raping children aged 8 to 15 years in the area near MPoko airport and were subjecting them to sexual exploitation. Some of the incidents that occurred between December 2013 and June 2014 in a refugee camp at MPoko airport were depicted in a special UN closed report that was titled Sexual Abuse on Children by International Armed Forces. In particular, the document contains witnesses of local boys that were subjected to sexual exploitation, including rape and homosexual relations in exchange for food and water. The majority of the victims were orphans, increasing their vulnerability. In the summer of 2014 this report was handed over to the office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva; however, no action was taken to investigate the factual findings. In these circumstances, and in order to stop systematic child rape in CAR, one of the staff members of the Geneva Branch of the United Nations, Anders Kompass, had given those documents to French authorities on his own initiative in hopes that they would take effective measures to investigate the described incidents and punish those responsible. However, the highest ranks of the United Nations didnt seem willing to wash their dirty linen in public. Instead, they are now planning to sack the snitch for an unauthorized disclosure of proprietary information. In this regard, one must note that in the past the United Nations has been caught trying to conceal incidents of pedophilia numerous times, including sexual exploitation of children in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kosovo and Bosnia, along with concealing incidents involving sexual harassment in Haiti, Burundi and Liberia. Recently, some serious accusations against the UN were made by James Wasserstrom, a former US diplomat who was fired from the UN once he expressed his suspicions about the corruption among senior officials of the former UN mission in Kosovo. In particular, this former diplomat stressed the fact that instead of punishing Anders Kompass, this international organization must have taken all possible measures to prevent such abuse in the future, along with punishing all responsible figures in a timely manner. A responsible official of the Swedish Foreign Ministry Anders Ronquist, has also raised his voice in the defense of Anders Kompass, stating that those incidents must never again occur in the future. Theres little doubt that those crimes along with the UNs attempts to hide them do not erode the credibility of this international organization. But the fact is that this credibility has already been jeopardized by numerous cases of unjustified use of force initiated by certain UN members to achieve their own geopolitical goals. Once the UN became a political servant of Washington, it has started serving US military contractors that hunger for even more bloodshed all across the globe. This policy has already led to the death and suffering of hundreds of thousands of civilians in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and other countries of the Middle East, along with Africa and the former Yugoslavia. If theres going to be no change in the policies and actions of the United Nations officials now, it is possible that this organization may suffer the sorry fate of its predecessor the League of Nations, that was just as unable to prevent conflicts and global threats to humanity on the basis of respect to international laws.

2	BREAKING: Clintons Accused Of Murder As Body Count Rises In 1993, suspicions about the Clintons were at an all time high when Bills White House counsel, Vince Foster, was found dead in Fort Marcy Park in the Washington, D.C. area. His death was ruled to be a suicide under two separate investigations, with authorities claiming that his gunshot wound was likely self-inflicted. The case was closed. Now, reports of new evidence have raised some serious questions about whether or not Foster was in fact murdered. According to reports from Conservative Tribune, Hugh Turley and Patrick Knowlton believe that they have found a second gunshot wound on Fosters bodyand it could possibly come from a different caliber gun. The two researchers have cited documents buried in the National Archives. They were dug up in the original investigation by a federal prosecutor, who believed the second wound proved that Foster was murdered. The documents discovered were written by Miguel Rodriguez, and included a letter of his resignation from the investigation. The next document was a 31-page memo that detailed some of his findingsincluding a second gunshot wound on the neck that came from a smaller caliber weapon than the .38 caliber gunshot that was reportedly self-inflicted. Because the official report only mentions the wounds to the head, Rodriguez decided to resign from the investigation, claiming that investigators were overlooking evidence. He also wrote that he was being harassed for voicing his concerns. What do you think? Is there something very suspicious going on here?

2	Mexico Submits... Make Major Announcement About Trumps Wall Throughout Donald Trumps campaign, liberals acted as if the President-elect would bring about the end of the world. One of their top doomsday theories was that Trump would damage our relationship with Mexico. That is already turning out to be completely false. Last week, Mexicos new foreign relations secretary Luis Videgaray said, his country isnt just willing to negotiate changes to the North American Free Trade Agreement, it wants to start talks as soon as possible. He (also) said Mexico is willing to negotiate over Trumps plan to build a border wall, the Associated Press added of Videgaray. The same day Videgaray was selected to serve as foreign relations secretary, Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto went on television to stress the important of negotiations. With the change of government in the United States on 20 January, the instructions for secretary Videgaray is (sic) to accelerate dialogue and contacts so that from the first day the bases for building a constructive work relationship can be established, he said. On top of all that, Washington Post reporter Robert Costa said Videgaray is expected to play a major role in helping Trump build the wall. The way Trump team are talking about wall behind the scenes: we can work w/Luis Videgaray, force Congress to get the project started, Costa tweeted last Friday. Of course, negotiations will not be easy. But liberals were clearly mistaken in claiming Mexico would be unwilling to cooperate.

3	Globalist Rag Gives Two Cheers for TerrorismForeign Policy plums new depths of own legendary depravity. Foreign Policy published a recent article literally titled, Two Cheers for Syrian Islamists. In it, general editor of the Neo-Con Middle East Forum Gary Gambill concedes that the Syrian government would not be in the trouble its in today were it not for the Islamists, revealing what the West and its media houses have attempted but failed at obfuscating that the violence in Syria is the work of sectarian extremists, not pro-democracy activists. The latters existence was amplified by the Western media specifically to provide cover and legitimacy for the violence and subversion of the former. Image: Must be seen to believe screenshot of FPs article literally titled, Two Cheers for Syrian Islamists. The writer, Gary Gambill, comes from the Middle East Forum which regular features the warmongering rants of Neo-Cons like Daniel Pipes and Islamophobia-propagandist Robert Spencer. Gambill continues his two cheers for terrorism in perhaps the most perverse statement found to-date in the Western press on the subject: Islamists many of them hardened by years of fighting U.S. forces in Iraq are simply more effective fighters than their secular counterparts. Assad has had extraordinary difficulty countering tactics perfected by his former jihadist allies, particularly suicide bombings and roadside bombs.Gambill is gushingly praising men who have killed Western troops, admiring their prowess on the battlefield through their use of indiscriminate terrorist tactics which have killed and maimed tens of thousands of civilians across the Arab World. For the foreseeable future, however, Iran constitutes a far greater and more immediate threat to U.S. national interests. Whatever misfortunes Sunni Islamists may visit upon the Syrian people, any government they form will be strategically preferable to the Assad regime, for three reasons: A new government in Damascus will find continuing the alliance with Tehran unthinkable, it wont have to distract Syrians from its minority status with foreign policy adventurism like the ancien rgime, and it will be flush with petrodollars from Arab Gulf states (relatively) friendly to Washington. So long as Syrian jihadis are committed to fighting Iran and its Arab proxies, we should quietly root for them while keeping our distance from a conflict that is going to get very ugly before the smoke clears. There will be plenty of time to tame the beast after Irans regional hegemonic ambitions have gone down in flames. Gary Gambill, Two Cheers for Syrian Islamists, (2012) In this, Gambill divulges the true agenda behind destabilizing Syria the isolation and undermining of Iran to the east, and Hezbollah in Lebanon to the West. Gambill also mentions the destruction of Syria as a means of realigning Iraq to US interests. Gambill disingenuously claims that the US can do little about what he calls the political ascendancy of these sectarian extremists, portraying the rise of violence across the Levant and the miraculous resurrection of the Muslim Brotherhood across the Arab World as coincidentally aligned to American interests, and something that should be allowed, even encouraged, to run its course. Gambill fails to mention, however, that this political ascendancy was planned, funded, armed, and organized by the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia as far back as 2007, according to a detailed, 9-page report published by Seymour Hersh in the New Yorker titled The Redirection. In the report, it explicitly states: 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. Seymour Hersh, The Redirection (2007) Hershs report would also include: the Saudi government, with Washingtons approval, would provide funds and logistical aid to weaken the government of President Bashir Assad, of Syria. The Israelis believe that putting such pressure on the Assad government will make it more conciliatory and open to negotiations. Seymour Hersh, The Redirection (2007) In essence, Gambills gushing support for terrorism and in particular, terrorists who have fought and killed Americans is but the latest in an attempt to spin and repackage Al Qaeda and thefraudulent War on Terror as public awareness outgrows the fallacious humanitarian pretenses the operation has been couched within hitherto. Gambills material support for terrorism echos a recent article titled, Al-Qaedas Specter in Syria, published by the Council on Foreign Relations, a premier Fortune 500-funded US think-tank, which stated: The Syrian rebels would be immeasurably weaker today without al-Qaeda in their ranks. By and large, Free Syrian Army (FSA) battalions are tired, divided, chaotic, and ineffective. Feeling abandoned by the West, rebel forces are increasingly demoralized as they square off with the Assad regimes superior weaponry and professional army. Al-Qaeda fighters, however, may help improve morale. The influx of jihadis brings discipline, religious fervor, battle experience from Iraq, funding from Sunni sympathizers in the Gulf, and most importantly, deadly results. In short, the FSA needs al-Qaeda now. Why is Gambill Writing This? Consider the audience of Foreign Policy. It is not propaganda fit for the masses. Rather it is for aspiring, as well as low- to mid-level members of the global corporate-financier establishment. Western involvement in both Libya and Syria have undermined the governments, institutions, and organizations many of these people work for, and as public awareness (and anger) grows, it will be these low to mid-level members who bear the brunt of the systems collapsing legitimacy. Many are already expressing doubts over the viability and nature of the Wests global agenda as it unfolds. It must be remembered that the terrorists Gambill is cheering for had ensnared millions of Western troops for over a decade in the so-called War on Terror. It has killed thousands of troops, tens of thousands were maimed both physically and psychologically, and hundreds of thousands have forever lost time they could have spent at home with their loved ones. As public awareness grows of Western support for these very terrorists, it would be almost inconceivable that there would not be a profound, perhaps even violent backlash against people like Gambill and the establishment he represents. Gambills cheerleading is designed to rally the lower ranks of the establishment around this new narrative as he and fellow warmongers attempt to flee forward through Syria and then into Iran. Eventually, the reckless promotion of terrorism Gambill and others are committed to will once again call US soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen into harms way either to fight nations defending themselves against US-sponsored terrorism, or to liquidate US-supported terrorists when their services are longer needed. Gambill by causally saying, there will be plenty of time to tame the beast after Irans regional hegemonic ambitions have gone down in flames, means specifically more US troops will be deployed, and will most certainly die, all in the pursuit of corporate-financier interests in the Middle East. Gambill specifically refers to hegemonic ambitions, not any conceivable threat to US defense, as the impetus for cheering on terrorism, a theme that is omnipresent throughout US policy papers on Iran.

1	Saying he understands how excited everyone can get during an All-Star game, Spurs center Tim Duncan made it clear Saturday that since the game is held inside the Staples Center, he expects members of both teams to put their outside voices away and watch their volume for the big night. 'Guys, seriously, if you don't know what an inside voice is, then just whisper and you should be fine,' Duncan told his teammates during warm-ups, explaining that they were 'well above a seven' and needed to bring it down to 'about a three.' 'It's not like we're 10,000 feet apart from one another. I'm standing right here. I can hear you just fine.' At press time, Duncan was seen hushing a fan in the mezzanine level who had been shouting, 'Go Kobe!' 
1	KANSAS CITY, MOAccount executive Jeremy Trask, 33, entered a local Best Buy Sunday, shopped for approximately 20 minutes, and bought a brand-new laptop computer right off the shelf, 'like it was a bag of pretzels,' Trask's friend Paul Cheng said Monday. Trask and the computer Cheng (inset) witnessed him just up and buy. 'I didn't even know Jeremy was in the market for a computer,' Cheng said, still reeling from Sunday's events. 'We were on the west side of town, and he asked if I wanted to stop in at the Best Buy. I thought maybe we'd buy some CDs or look at the plasma-screen televisions, but, next thing I know, he's dropping $1,200 on a laptop.' The Toshiba Satellite Notebook laptop computer came equipped with an Intel Celeron Processor, a DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive, and a 15-inch active-matrix display. The 40GB hard drive came pre-installed with the Windows XP Home Edition operating system, Microsoft Works, and Quickennone of which seemed to interest Trask in the slightest. 'Jeremy just looked at it, typed some 'quick brown fox' crap on the keyboard, said the computer was nice and light, and asked a sales associate if they had one in stock,' Cheng said. 'He barely looked at the desktop computers. He didn't ask how it compared to a Mac. He didn't even ask about the warranty or any upcoming sales. He just grabbed the box and headed up to the check-out area.' According to Cheng, Trask 'just assumed he knew what he wanted.' 'Before you buy a computer, you're supposed to get some magazines, ask the office IT guy what he recommends, and find out how your friends like their computers,' Cheng said. 'People spend days just identifying their needs, let alone selecting a computer that meets those needs. I mean, it's a computer! How do you know what you're getting if you just snap one up?' Cheng said that, once he realized what was happening, he followed Trask to the counter and demanded to know if his friend had done any research on the Internet or visited the store on previous occasions. 'He hadn't,' Cheng said. 'He just waltzed in there and bought the damn thing. I asked him what he would be using it for, and he said 'work stuff and Internet stuff.' He said he wanted a computer with a DVD player, so he could take it with him when he stayed at his girlfriend's place. Andoh, this was the classic line! This killed me! He said he wanted one that had an 'MP3 maker.'' 'I am not kidding,' Cheng added. 'Those were his exact words.' Cheng said he suspected that Trask simply looked for models that contained a DVD player, then chose one with a big screen. 'Can you believe that?' Cheng asked. 'I told him that if he'd spend a couple days searching online, he could find that same computer for $50 or even $100 less, but he was like, 'I just want to get it and be done with it.'' Although he made repeated attempts inside Best Buy, during the walk to the car, and during the ride home, Cheng was unable to make Trask see the importance of his purchase. 'I told him, 'Hey, man, you just bought a damn computer,'' Cheng said. 'He just looked at me like, 'Yeah, I know.' I love the guy, but, I have to say, he didn't really seem to understand what it was that he'd done.' Cheng was further vexed to learn that, 24 hours after the laptop was purchased, Trask had yet to take it out of its box. 'I called Jeremy to see how the computer was working out, and he said he hadn't had the energy to deal with it yet,' Cheng said. 'I said, 'Aha! Having second thoughts, are you?' He said he was fine with it, but he just hadn't gotten around to unpacking it. I mean, Jesus.' 'So I asked him if he wanted me to come over and help him get his modem hooked up,' Cheng said. 'He said he didn't need it. He said he got a flyer in the mail today and he signed up for a year of 'DSL or cable Internet or something.' God!'

3	Surreal: Clinton Pledges $45 Million in Aid to Al Qaeda in SyriaUS inundates terrorist legions with cash and support after regional embassy attacks and death of own ambassador. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced that the US would be providing an additional $45 million in non-lethal aid to the opposition in Syria, reported the Associated Press. The Western press chose their words carefully, ensuring that the term civilian opposition was repeatedly used to describe the armed terrorist forces attempting to violently overthrow the Syrian government. Image: Libyan Mahdi al-Harati of the US State Department, United Nations, and the UK Home Office (page 5, .pdf)-listed terrorist organization, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), addressing fellow terrorists in Syria. Harati is now commanding a Libyan brigade operating inside of Syria attempting to destroy the Syrian government and subjugate the Syrian population. Traditionally, this is known as foreign invasion. US aid is going to foreign terrorists, not a civilian opposition. In reality, the opposition in Syria constitutes foreign terrorist legions flowing across Syrias borders, and in particular, staging and crossing over from NATO-member Turkey. In fact, it was recently admitted by the terrorist legions themselves that their headquarters has been located within Turkish territory for the duration of the conflict.In a recent France 24 article titled, Free Syrian Army move HQ from Turkey to Syria, armed militants claimed they had only just recently moved from Turkey to within Syria. Clintons Aid is Going to Al Qaeda, Not a Civilian Opposition. While the Western media attempts to portray heavily armed foreign terrorists as Syrias civilian opposition, it has been revealed that entire brigades are led by Libyan terrorists drawn from the ranks of the US State Department (#29), UK Home Office (page 5, .pdf), and UN-listed terror organization, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG). Abdulhakim Belhadj, head of the Tripoli Military Council and the former leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, met with Free Syrian Army leaders in Istanbul and on the border with Turkey, said a military official working with Mr Belhadj. Mustafa Abdul Jalil (the interim Libyan president) sent him there. Photo: The face of Libyas revolution was literally Al Qaeda. Al Qaedas LIFG commander, Abdul Hakim Belhadj, was NATOs point man in Libya and has now redirected his terrorist forces against Syria. LIFG commanders are now literally running entire brigades in Syria with Western diplomatic, logistic, and military support. Another Telegraph article, Libyas new rulers offer weapons to Syrian rebels, would admit Syrian rebels held secret talks with Libyas new authorities on Friday, aiming to secure weapons and money for their insurgency against President Bashar al-Assads regime, The Daily Telegraph has learned. At the meeting, which was held in Istanbul and included Turkish officials, the Syrians requested assistance from the Libyan representatives and were offered arms, and potentially volunteers. There is something being planned to send weapons and even Libyan fighters to Syria, said a Libyan source, speaking on condition of anonymity. There is a military intervention on the way. Within a few weeks you will see. Later that month, some 600 Libyan terrorists would be reported to have entered Syria to begin combat operations and more recently, CNN, whose Ivan Watson accompanied terrorists over the Turkish-Syrian border and into Aleppo, revealed that indeed foreign fighters were amongst the militants, particularly Libyans. It was admitted that: Meanwhile, residents of the village where the Syrian Falcons were headquartered said there were fighters of several North African nationalities also serving with the brigades ranks. A volunteer Libyan fighter has also told CNN he intends to travel from Turkey to Syria within days to add a platoon of Libyan fighters to armed movement. CNN also added: On Wednesday, CNNs crew met a Libyan fighter who had crossed into Syria from Turkey with four other Libyans. The fighter wore full camouflage and was carrying a Kalashnikov rifle. He said more Libyan fighters were on the way. The foreign fighters, some of them are clearly drawn because they see this as a jihad. So this is a magnet for jihadists who see this as a fight for Sunni Muslims. CNNs reports provide bookends to 2011s admissions that large numbers of Libyan terrorists flush with NATO cash and weapons had headed to Syria, with notorious terrorist LIFG commandersmaking the arrangements. LIFG officially merged with Al Qaeda in 2007, but has fought along Al Qaeda since its inception by the US and Saudis in the mountains of Afghanistan in the 1980s. This includes fighting alongside Al Qaeda most recently in Afghanistan and Iraq against US troops while sowing sectarian violence, as covered by the US Armys West Point Combating Terrorism Center in a 2007 report. The report titled, Al-Qaidas Foreign Fighters in Iraq stated specifically: The apparent surge in Libyan recruits traveling to Iraq may be linked the Libyan Islamic Fighting Groups (LIFG) increasingly cooperative relationship with alQaida, which culminated in the LIFG officially joining alQaida on November 3, 2007. The vast majority (84.2%) of Libyans that recorded their route to Iraq arrived via the same pathway running through Egypt and then by air to Syria. This recruiting and logistics network is likely tied to LIFG, which has long ties (not all positive) with Egyptian and Algerian Islamist groups. The announcement that LIFG had officially sworn allegiance to alQaida was longexpected by observers of the group. Both the ideologue Abu Yahya alLibi and the military leader Abu Layth alLibi have long histories with the LIFG, and are increasingly prominent figures along the AfghanistanPakistan border and in alQaidas propaganda. Abu Layth is now an operational commander in Afghanistan; and in 2007, Abu Yahya is second only to Ayman alZawahiri as the most visible figure in alQaidas propaganda. The increasing prominence of LIFG figures in alQaidas high command may be a function of the groups logistics capacity, including its now demonstrated ability to move people effectively around the Middle East, including to Iraq. (begins on page 9, .pdf) It would now appear that LIFGs logistics capacity aimed at Iraq which was previously routed through Syria and Egypt in cooperation with sectarian extremists, most notably the Muslim Brotherhood based in both nations, is now being directed exclusively at Syria. LIFG is doing this with Qatari, Saudi, US, French, British, and NATO support (predominantly Turkey) after receiving similar support in overthrowing the Libyan government in 2011. US Support of Al Qaeda Announced on Heels of US Ambassadors Death. Ironically, the recent infusion of cash and support for Al Qaeda terrorists by the US comes on the heels of assaults staged by the group against US diplomatic missions across the region. One in particular, emanating within LIFGs own terror emirate in Benghazi, Libya, would claim the life of US Ambassador Christopher Stevens. While Stevens death was most likely accidental, (he succumbed to smoke inhalation, and was not killed directly by militants), it was most certainly the LIFG militias who dominate Benghazi that staged the attacks. The purpose of the attacks was to reestablish an adversarial narrative between the US and regional sectarian extremists after a surge in public awareness that the two have been working in tandem against the enemies of the West for years. The US itself would implicate Al Qaeda as being behind the regional attacks for this very purpose, before continuing their support of the terror organization in its efforts to overrun Syria. Image: Bi-partisan treason. Senator John McCain pictured alongside the now deceased Ambassador Stevens (right, wearing a blue tie) had been in Benghazi, Libya supporting Al Qaeda militants since 2011 and highlight that the US current support of global terrorism is bi-partisan in nature. It does not stem from a secret plot hatched by current US President Barack Obama, but is merely the latest leg of a singular agenda dictated by corporate-financier interests that transcend presidencies. The violent destabilization of Syria in fact began in 2007 under US President George Bush. West Points Combating Terrorism Center 2007 report specifically mentions the city of Benghazi and nearby Darnah as the LIFG terror epicenter, stating specifically: Both Darnah and Benghazi have long been associated with Islamic militancy in Libya, in particular for an uprising by Islamist organizations in the mid1990s. The Libyan government blamed the uprising on infiltrators from the Sudan and Egypt and one groupthe Libyan Fighting Group (jamaah allibiyah al muqatilah)claimed to have Afghan veterans in its ranks. The Libyan uprisings became extraordinarily violent. Qadhafi used helicopter gunships in Benghazi, cut telephone, electricity, and water supplies to Darnah and famously claimed that the militants deserve to die without trial, like dogs. Abu Layth alLibi, LIFGs Emir, reinforced Benghazi and Darnahs importance to Libyan jihadis in his announcement that LIFG had joined alQaida, saying: It is with the grace of God that we were hoisting the banner of jihad against this apostate regime under the leadership of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, which sacrificed the elite of its sons and commanders in combating this regime whose blood was spilled on the mountains of Darnah, the streets of Benghazi, the outskirts of Tripoli, the desert of Sabha, and the sands of the beach. (begins on page 12, .pdf) It is quite clear then, that the NATO-backed 2011 revolution in Libya was merely the continuation of Al Qaedas campaign against Qaddafi, this time assisted by US, French, and British jets and special forces, with an infusion of Western, Qatari and Saudi cash, non-lethal aid, and weapons. The West, with a sound understanding of LIFG long predating their support for Al Qaeda in Libya in 2011, knowingly aided and abetted terrorists with Western blood on their hands who were long-listed on various Western foreign terrorist organization lists. Hillary Clinton is handing millions in cash to known Al Qaeda terrorists, on the heels of these terrorists claiming one of her own ambassadors in the middle of LIFGs terror emirate this while the West berates Iran for supporting the government of Syria as it attempts to defend itself against what is clearly a foreign invasion, not a popular uprising. While it may seem an act of unhinged insanity it is not. It only seems insane if one believes the narratives spun by Western politicians who are attempting to sell their agenda from various, not always mutually conducive angles. If one however understands that the corporate-financier interests of Wall Street and London are pursuing global hegemony at any cost, the use of Al Qaeda terrorists who have just led mobs attacking Western consulates across the region that claimed the life of one of Americas own ambassadors makes perfect sense.

3	Magic Mushrooms Block Negative Emotions: Studyselfnews Post Emotions like fear, anger, sadness, and joy enable people to adjust to their environment and react flexibly to stress and strain and are vital for cognitive processes, physiological reactions, and social behaviour. The processing of emotions is closely linked to structures in the brain, i.e. to what is known as the limbic system. Within this system the amygdala plays a central role above all it processes negative emotions like anxiety and fear. If the activity of the amygdala becomes unbalanced, depression and anxiety disorders may develop. Researchers at the Psychiatric University Hospital of Zurich have now shown that psilocybin, the bioactive component in the Mexican magic mushroom, influences the amygdala, thereby weakening the processing of negative stimuli. These findings could point the way to novel approaches to treatment comments the lead author Rainer Krhenmann on the results which have now been published in the medical journal Biological Psychiatry. Psilocybin inhibits the processing of negative emotions in the amygdala The processing of emotions can be impaired by various causes and elicit mental disorders. Elevated activity of the amygdala in response to stimuli leads to the neurons strengthening negative signals and weakening the processing of positive ones. This mechanism plays an important role in the development of depression and anxiety disorders. Psilocybin intervenes specifically in this mechanism as shown by Dr. Rainer Krhenmanns research team of the Neuropsychopharmacology and Brain Imaging Unit led by Prof. Dr. Franz Vollenweider. Next study with depressive patients According to Krhenmann, this observation is of major clinical importance. Depressive patients in particular react more to negative stimuli and their thoughts often revolve around negative contents. Hence, the neuropharmacologists now wish to elucidate in further studies whether psilocybin normalises the exaggerated processing of negative stimuli as seen in neuroimaging studies of depressedpatients and may consequently lead to improved mood in these patients. . Rainer Krhenmann considers research into novel approaches to treatment very important, because current available drugs for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders are not effective in all patients and are often associated with unwanted side effects.

3	Surprise! Here Come the New Obamacare Taxes and FeesLily Dane Most insurance companies arent publicizing the Obamacare taxes instead, they are discreetly adding them to bills. So far, it has been reported that one insurance company has clearly listed the tax on its bills with a line item titled Affordable Care Act Fees and Taxes. The New York Post reported on the taxes and fees Americans are seeing on their insurance premium bills: The new taxes on one customers bill added up to $23.14 a month, or $277.68 annually, according to Kaiser Health News. It boosted the monthly premium from $322.26 to $345.40 for that individual. The new taxes and fees include a 2 percent levy on every health plan, which is expected to net about $8billion for the government in 2014 and increase to $14.3 billion in 2018. Theres also a $2 fee per policy that goes into a new medical-research trust fund called the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute. One of those hidden taxes is the 2.3 percent medical-device tax on items such as pacemakers, stents and prosthetic limbs, inflating the cost for those who need them. People with high out-of-pocket medical expenses also will get smaller income-tax deductions. Americans are currently allowed to deduct expenses that exceed 7.5 percent of their annual income, but that threshold jumps to 10 percent under Obamacare. The result? Taxpayer costs of about $15 billion over 10 years. Theres also a new Medicare tax. Under Obamacare, individual tax filers earning more than $200,000 and families earning more than $250,000 will pay an added 0.9 percent Medicare surtax on top of the existing 1.45 percent Medicare payroll tax. In addition, they will also pay an extra 3.8 percent Medicare tax on unearned income, such as investment dividends, rental income and capital gains. The government is trying to make Americans buy something many of us dont want, and now we are being forced to pay additional taxes for it taxes that are set to increase year after year.

1	Admiring their mutual indifference toward Gazan civilians and families during the ongoing conflict, sources confirmed Thursday that global political leaders, observers on the ground, and the international community at large agreed that Israels and Hamas respective disregard for Palestinian life have actually lined up pretty nicely. The fact that theyre both willing to sacrifice innocent Palestinians is pretty horrifying, but you have to admit its impressive just how much their callous, barbaric attitudes toward human life in Gaza match right up, said one resident, echoing the sentiment of thousands of humanitarian aid workers, international pundits, and local citizens, adding that the Israel Defense Forces and Hamas were really on the same page when it came to rationalizing away the deaths of hundreds of Palestinian residents. Say what you want about Israel and Hamas, but at the end of the day, at least give them credit for how harmoniously their separate actions came together to create innocent civilian casualties. They might be dead set on one anothers destruction, fine, but you cant say they dont make one hell of a complementary team when it comes to Palestinians dying. Sources admitted they were further struck by Israels and Hamas effectively identical unwillingness to compromise under any circumstances.

'Corn is, ah, agriculturally speaking, one of the best things Americans can makeor possibly drinkand it's obviously a thing I care a lot about personally, that's for sure.' Witnesses said that, moments later, when Vilsack remembered what corn was, he overcompensated by asking everyone in attendance if they 'like eating the North American cereal plant that yields large grains, or kernels, set in rows on a cob as much as [he does].'

1	Saying he has been racking his brain all season to no avail, West Essex High School football coach Charles Seipp, 39, admitted to reporters Wednesday that he is struggling to find a way to tap into the aggression of his hormonally charged adolescent players. I just wish I could somehow harness all the pent-up angst and hostility of these 14- to 18-year-old high school boys and then apply it to the sport of football, said Seipp, lamenting that his teams roster is almost entirely limited to large, physically fit young men full of frustration and anger they cannot control or even understand. Honestly, Im beginning to question if its even possible to channel their barely suppressible rage, self-doubt, and belligerence into hitting another player on the field as hard as they possibly can. I suppose its just one of the challenges of coaching at this level. Seipp went on to say, however, that he has at least figured out a way to incorporate his own quick temper, penchant for yelling, and win-at-all-costs mentality into his job as a high school football coach. 
1	Hollywood's paparazzi and celebrity gossip-hounds were abuzz with excitement this year, when notorious party girl and multiple-BAFTA-award-winning actress Dame Judi Dench, 74, entered into a lesbian love affair with a popular nightclub disc jockey. Dench, a knighted member of the British Empire and notorious tabloid trash. Though Dench had never made her sexual preference public, most assumed her to be heterosexual, since she has been romantically linked to such hunky actors as her late husband, Michael Williams. But she shocked the media when photos emerged in early July showing the classically trained Dench and a 32-year-old female DJ canoodling in L.A. hotspot Chateau Marmont. The Royal Shakespeare Company veteran and tabloid favorite was soon swarmed by paparazzi, who also published images of Dench drunkenly making out with her gaunt-looking, bleached-blonde lover in the alley behind D.C.'s most elite club, the Lotus Range. In September, Us Weekly ran an exclusive claiming that the tomboyish DJ treated Dench to a sexy lap dance in full view of the revelers at New York's Gramercy Room. 'They're definitely into each other,' one club patron told the gossip rag. 'It was hot and heavy.' The affair caps off a tailspin of erratic behavior by Dench. While shooting Notes On A Scandal back in 2006, the hard-partying septegenarian was known to show up on set late and hungover, or sometimes not at all. In March 2007 she was pulled over for driving under the influence with fellow starlets Dame Maggie Smith and Angela Lansbury, and exposed her crotch to paparazzi while exiting her SUV. While some claim Dench's tryst with the lesbian DJ is bringing the former Masterpiece Theatre star back down to earth, the relationship has not been without its rough spots. This November, several witnessed the Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts sobbing outside the chic London nightclub Boujis, after the waifish disc jockey 'went ballistic' on Dench for dancing suggestively with close friend and actor Patrick Stewart. The 68-year-old Stewart reportedly had to physically restrain Dench's lesbian lover, who was kicking the British screen legend and spitting in her face. 'The girls are fine,' Dench's publicist Leslie Sloane Zelnick said. 'They just had a little spat.' Though Dench has said in multiple interviews that her family is supportive of the relationship, her estranged 112-year-old father, Reginald Arthur Dencha recovering alcoholic and ex-convicthas publicly condemned the romance. 
2	VIDEO: High School Girl Beaten And Humiliated For Being Too White According to recent reports, a High School girl in Rock Hill, South Carolina quickly became the victim of a brutal racist attack. After being verbally assaulted for being too white the situation quickly escalated to violence. Both the victim and the assailant were black. The incident took place shortly after the two got off of the bus from school, and were walking into their houses. According to reports from the Daily Caller, the student who got beat up suffered numerous injuries including a serious cut above her right eye. She was taken to the hospital to be treated. Reportedly, the incident started because the victim described herself as a light-skinned black female. The attacker, however, is a bit darker. According to the victims report, her attacker has asked her to fight several times, and she has always resisted. 
3	Stopped!! Methane Blow-Out. Radioactive Fall-out. And ... The Predictable Result.By Brett Redmayne-Titley After depositing more than 90 million metric tons of a very toxic gaseous cocktail from two miles deep under the mountains up into the atmosphere above 18.5 million mostly unsuspecting Angelenos, the corporate players who have caused this disaster are now assuring this same public that they are, suddenly, protecting their interests. As highlighted in the previous article, the negligent corporate criminals at the Southern California Gas Company hold the keys to the jail and the purported guards over at the California agencies; PUC, DOGGR and the Dept. of Conservation are sound asleep in their chairs. Now, with pending legal and legislative action heading downwind towards So Cal Gas, continued close public scrutiny is warranted. Considering that these same public agencies were all negligently complicit in causing the Aliso Canyon disaster, can they now be trusted to change their spots and enforce meaningful changes upon So Cal Gas? Like the natural gas flowing downhill from Aliso Canyon the growing plethora of damaging information against So Cal Gas funnels together down a central path. Two points generally sum-up the accusations leveled squarely at multiple defendants, many of whom will almost certainly be bearing witness very soon. In court. First; owner of SS-25, the Southern California Gas Company, caused the disaster by willful negligence. Second; that this negligence was subordinated by multiple California State public officials. As the previous article shows, starting with the Calif. state agencies, P.U.C.[Public Utilities Commission]; DOGGR [Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources], and the California Department of Conservation and likely leading to environmental governor, Jerry Browns telephone So Cal Gas has been given unregulated carte blanche to put their corporate profits before concerns for public and environmental health and safety. Multiple lawsuits may soon ferret-out the details of these inescapable conclusions. At issue; the removal, rather than replacement, of a Sub-Surface Safety Valve on SS-25 of which So Cal Gas, in 1979, reported to state regulators that it had indeed replaced the safety valve. Then, in 2014, So Cal Gas filed a fraudulent inspection report with the Conservation Dept. certifying that the valves were in place and had also passed inspection. With the Aliso Canyon Underground Storage Facility holding over 160 billion cubic feet of highly pressurized, very toxic gas, and the potential risks showcased for the past one-hundred-twenty-plus days in epic evidence, the necessity of safety valves is obvious. So how many of the other 114 aging wells are also missing safety valves? In defending this apparent negligence Rodger Schwecke, of So Cal Gas, said in a public meeting last month that the company decided not to replace it [the safety valve] because it was not a critical well. Reportedly, according to state law, Critical Wells are defined as those being 300-feet-or-less from homes or schools. What? After hiking up the steep hills to witness the full horrifying magnitude of SS-25 up-close, the sheer lunacy of such a regulation is pause for retching disgust. Politicians at work. the relief well intercepted the base of the leaking well, and the company began pumping heavy fluids to temporarily control the flow of gas out of the leaking well, said a statement from So Cal Gas. The leak and the flow of gas will be declared ended once DOGGR has confirmed that the well has been permanently sealed. So Cal Gas will now have to seal the well with cement to permanently shut it down. Once that occurs, the thousands of displaced residents from nearby Porter Ranch will have eight days to return to their homes now up from a mere forty-eight hours at which point So Cal Gas will terminate the leases on their temporary housing. Many residents report being coerced by So Cal Gas attorneys to sign a release from all liability before being provided any relocation costs. Fortunately, many had their own lawyers. Legal problems for So Cal Gas continue to mount. However, judging from the facts leading to the disaster So Cal Gas is keeping their legal problems well in hand. L.A. County Dist. Atty., Jackie Lacey, filed four misdemeanor criminal charges against the gas company, accusing it of releasing air contaminants and neglecting to report the release of hazardous materials until three days after the leak began Oct. 23. An arraignment is scheduled for Feb. 17 in Santa Clarita. The charges could result in a maximum fine of $25,000 a day for each day the leak went unreported, and $1,000 a day for each day the well has polluted the air. This is a financial break for So Cal Gas since the indictment conveniently ignores evidence that the leak started weeks before not days before being reported and regardless adds up to a very paltry tithing. The prospect of felony charges of personal criminal negligence have not come up. Similarly, So Cal Gas is currently facing criminal charges from the South Coast Air Quality Management District via the public office of California Attorney General, Kamala Harris. Conspicuously, her allegiance to her boss, Gov. Jerry Brown and his duplicitous pro-oil / some-how-pro-environment agenda has already been clearly shown. When Kern County, CA farmers sought court testimony regarding the governors orders approving, against their communitys wishes, injection wells in their area, Harris, as AG, blocked their legal right to depositions. Echoing the theme of the administration Harris declared that Browns orders were, privileged communication. In an era when public prosecution fails routinely, allowing corporations to merely pay a fine for their felonious crimes and get out of jail free, presumably the amount of the mortita is already being discussed. Zealous prosecution remains to be seen. In the furtherance of this possible pursuit of justice, the company has been ordered not to remove, temporarily store, bury or raze anything within a 400-foot radius of the wellhead, so that investigations can begin. Robert Weisenmiller, chairman of the California Energy Commission, told the LA Times that The CPUC [California Public Utilities Commission] will be tracking all of the gas companys costs to make sure they are not allocated to ratepayers and that the shareholders have full responsibility. This was in reality a nauseating joke. To many Southern California residents of nearby Orange County, it is one that likely foreshadows an all-too-predictable outcome. When it comes to enforcement of the utilities it is charged to regulate, the PUC has a decades-long track record of having all the punitive authority of a Nevada boxing commissioner. In just one example; recently, after the success of the long struggle to close Southern California Edisons negligently and fraudulently engineered San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, the PUC, in its final act, indeed illustrated its respect for shareholder responsibility: they ordered the culprit, Edison, to receive lost income and shut down costs from the ratepayers! Politicians at work. So Cal Gas admitted that SS-25 was emitting approx. 30,000 kilos-per-hour of what is commonly referred to as methane but is more accurately termed, natural gas, since methane is the most present of the many chemicals released. Testing by environmental scientist, Bob Bowcock, shows that So Cal Gas has under reported the release. Weve done actual field measurements [and] it can be as much as three times greater than whats being reported, said Bowcock. What has been coming out of SS-25 is a combination of methane, the sulfur infused odorant called mercaptan, benzene, toluene, and xylene which are all carcinogenic. Next, there is hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide which are neurotoxins and can injure the brain, affect memory, injure kidneys, liver, your other bodily organs. Methane makes up the largest component of natural gas; but, strangely, is the least toxic of all. Technically lighter than air it does not react as such when released from underground high-pressure storage. Methane is reportedly a much worse greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. For over 20 years methane is approx. eighty-six times greater in environmental effect, tapering-off to 29 times the effect of carbon dioxide over a full 100-year time frame. The methane from SS-25, however, arrives from deep underground as part of the concentrated gaseous cocktail without initially separating. Thats a common misconception, replied noted atmospheric test pilot, Stephen Conley, in an interview with selfnews Post. As one of the very few pilots allowed access over Aliso Canyon to do fly-over testing, Conley knows well whats coming out. Along with the methane are other gases. These are combined under great pressure underground and when this pressure is released [at the well head] the gases become very cold. As such, these gases collectively follow on the wind and can settle in the valleys, advised Conley. This very arbitrary settling of the gases, including methane, has been evidenced on recent Infra Red imagery of the area. Methane is only relatively benign until the sun comes up. One of the properties of methane is that, when exposed to sunlight, it become Formaldehyde. This is extremely carcinogenic and also heavier than air. So, the natural gas and all of its many poisonous components, including methane, have been blowing all over with much of it settling on the Los Angeles basin below to the south. This was confirmed by Dr. Joseph L. Pfeifer, M.D. (director of trauma and surgical critical care at Berkshire Medical Center) on Dec 30, 2015: When all that methane is exposed to California sunshine it gets converted to formaldehyde. The nosebleeds, headaches etc. arent from the odorant they are signs of formaldehyde exposure Obviously, this is something So Cal [gas] doesnt want to talk about or you to know about. Incredibly, it gets worse. Radiation. In a report from experts at the International Association for Protection from Ionizing Rays (AIPRI) in France, they state that lethal levels of naturally-occurring radiation have been coming out of SS-25 and people in the affected area will die from that radiation. The radiation is Uranium-238 and Radon, which results from the decaying Uranium in the earth thats left over from the days when the earth was forming. You cant have one without the other. According to their report, when using the So Cal Gas estimates of the volume of natural gas released, they estimate about 1.91 curies an hour or 45.9 curies per day of this radioactive material has been released. A curie is a unit of measure used in the United States to describe very large radioactive releases and AIPRI believes this is a very big radioactive release. Alternatively the French Becquerel is a far smaller measure for radiation equaling one radioactive disintegration (Count) per second. Since one curie equals 37 Billion Becquerels or radioactive counts per- second, the 45.9 curies released each day equals an astounding 1.7 Trillion Becquerels per day. AIPRI next calculated the human costs. Using the lethal radiation dosage standards of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), AIPRI calculated, In 80 days of viscous and gaseous fumes ata pace of 1.7 million m3 per day,[the] natural gas dispersed in the air could carry TBq 301.24 (3.01x 10 to the 14th power Becquerels!). [This] is equivalent of 2.41 million potential lethal doses by inhalation However, independent testing has shown that So Cal Gas reported only one-third of the volume released. 18.5 million people live in the LA Basin. Dr. Cyrus Rangan, the Director of Toxicology and Assessment for LA County, said that in their tests the site was shown to have only a mere 1.7 picocuries per liter, which was not a hazardous level, he said, to workers in an outdoor environment. A level of 4 picocuries per liter concentration is potentially hazardous. Regarding the presence of Urainium and Radon, Dr. Rangon conceded, This is theoretically possible. Radiation concerns were also confirmed by LA County Supervisor, Michael D. Antonovich. In referring to a new report by county public health officials that concluded that, since the gas leak has continued for so long, emissions levels could produce significant long-term health effects, including cancer. Antonovich said the report had identified benzene as the chemical of greatest concern, but the report also cited concerns about radon. Indeed. Residents and children from areas far removed from Porter Ranch such as Northridge and Chatsworth are also reporting nose bleeds, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, migraine headaches, asthma attacks, respiratory infections, eye infections, ear infections, stomach ailments. Many of these symptoms also may indicate of radiation poisoning. Interestingly, fish have been reported to have died. Indoors. The full details of the Aliso Canyon methane gas disaster has been held in check by the expected virtual news black-out by almost all news outlets including the supposed alternative/progressive media. Despite the magnitude of the story, it has only in recent weeks been taken seriously by the press. Across the daily news cycles offered to Americans the updates on this mega-disaster routinely and repetitively trivialized the leak. The cut-and-paste similarity between these scores of articles was marked. Most failed to focus on, much less investigate, the two central points: the removal of the safety valves by So Cal Gas; and the complicity of California state employees. A quick review of the chronology of articles authored by five different LA Times staff writers over the course of the disaster highlights this publications disinterest in the biggest story in their own backyard. Now, the Genie is most certainly out of the bottle. The California State Senate voted unanimously this past Thursday to order Southern California Gas Co. to stop using its wells at Aliso Canyon until they have been determined to be safe. The moratorium would prevent the gas company from injecting gas into the underground storage reservoir until all 115 wells have been inspected. The legislation, which now moves to the Assembly, also would halt any withdrawals of gas from 18 of the wells that, like the leaking one, are among the oldest at the facility. Now, the state Air Resources Board is considering rules establishing new monitoring requirements for natural gas storage sites, quarterly inspections for leaks and needed repairs and a prohibition on venting and flaring. Well, all of that is too late in coming. The oversight agencies PUC and DOGGR have highly suspect track records when it comes to enforcement of their corporate charges as well as direct complicity in creating a pervasive environment of negligence within the industry. A lack of enthusiasm for enforcement has already been shown by the state Attorney General that leads to the Governors mansion. Maya Golden-Krasner, with the Center for Biological Diversity, agreed stating, The Brown administrations hands-off approach to regulating gas storage has cost the people of Porter Ranch dearly, and its clear that regulators still dont get how hazardous these operations can be. Considering the documented lack of allegiance to the public, much less the environment, by this coven of corruption, it is not likely that So Cal Gas will experience justice at the hands of the State of California. Fortunately, So Cal Gas has no such political support in civil court. Here a team of four different law firms, including the renowned Kennedy Madonna LLP, are representing a large group of affected residents. Much of the truth regarding the negligence of SS-25 has come via their initial independent investigations, which not surprisingly differ markedly from data proffered by the soon-to-be plaintiff. Many questions remain unanswered but the important ones focus on responsibility. Unless So Cal Gas is willing to write a very large settlement check the facts will be borne out in court under oath. An interesting problem for a group not accustomed to the light of truth or being held to account. The controversy over this storage facility just began, quite frankly, said Los Angeles City Councilman Mitchell Englander. We have vintage wells, theres wells that have erosion. Bolstering his assertion, Maya Golden-Krasner found this a reasonable concern. She continued, Experts say smaller versions of the Aliso Canyon leak are happening all the time because California has no rules for well construction or gas storage fields, leaving it to gas companies to decide whether older equipment needs to be fixed or replaced. The leak may be stopped, but huge questions remain about the risks from gas-storage wells across California. The story of the biggest natural gas leak in US history is not over. SS-25 is dead. But what will be the results for Los Angeles area residents months, years or decades from now? According to Dr. David Carpenter, director of the Institute for Health and the Environment at Univ. at Albany, Cancer isnt going to occur tomorrow, it is going to occur 10-20-30 years from now in people that are exposed On the winds across the breadth of the Los Angeles and San Fernando Valleys has been scattered no less than 380,160,000 pounds of gaseous material. Most of it, in the long term, highly poisonous. Add to this the real possibility of large doses of radiation and the health risks are truly staggering. Hence, so is the financial liability of So Cal Gas. But recent history applied to other corporately caused environmental disasters across America doesnt bode well for justice. Or the public. Starting with the Exxon Valdez in pristine Alaska through the BP/ Gulf Coast oil disaster then along to the Kalamazoo River and Mayflower, AR tar sands oil spills corporations have, thanks to similar sub-sets of public officials under corporate control, an established pre-written script. State litigation will huff-and-puff in the press maintaining the appearance of prosecution. Before the defendants see the inside of a court room, the state Attorney General will offer a settlement of all claims for money. That sum will be a mere fraction of the damages to the public, to which the defendant corporation [So Cal Gas] will gladly write the check. In lieu of this paltry fine the defendants will receive from the state indemnity from future litigation. Then the State regulators [PUC] will allow the defendant utility a tidy rate increase, which repays any lost revenue due to the unfortunate advent of said litigation. The attorneys for the residents want the opposite; as much money as they can get. Money is the object; not justice, although they consider the two synonymous. However, as much as it would be nice to know the full and total truth of who caused this negligence, truth in this case will have a different purpose. So Cal Gas does not want any more snooping into the depths of their negligence, so court depositions and discover are this defendants worst nightmare. So, a fat settlement will be offered and accepted by the attorneys, who will assure their clients to take it, and the defendants will thus effectively bar the facts from court. Of course there will be the de rigueur release from future liability and subsequent disproportionate rate increase. The press will report on the victory for the residents and the surrounding public. All will be well. Perhaps. So Los Angeles residents and Porter Ranch locals will be left for the future to see for themselves how the drama of the Aliso Canyon methane gas disaster plays out. Will PUC, DOGGR, the Dept. of Conservation, the attorney Generals Office and the Governor put their constituents and their Oath of Office before corporate servitude and effect long-term and meaningful industry changes? Or will the cast of this sad man-made tragedy produce, again, the predictable last act? Politicians at work. Image: Aliso Canyon looking North BRETT REDMAYNE-TITLEY Writer Contributor To: Veterans Today; Archive: occupeyes.us First of all, it was not a well but rather gas being stored in an empty space. Second of all, I do not believe a word of it having stopped. One of the company reps said that it was leaking in numerous places around the valve. Believe what you will. According to people still living in the area, as of today, they can still smell the gas and are still getting sick. Many of them are still staying in Oxnard and the smell and sickness is being felt at least as far away as Chatsworth Luke 21: Brett, congrats on a thorough and truthful report on this disaster. Were lucky it didnt explode, greater Los Angeles would have been leveled from the blast or incinerated by the fireball. One other angle I didnt see you mention is the property values of Porter Ranch. Its liable to become another Love Canal now that people realize what is under ground. The standards for radioactive exposure as touted above are off by a factor of 100x to 1000x depending on the isotope in question. The damage to peoples health is much greater than the above standards of acceptable dosages permits. In reality there is no known safe exposure to radioactive substances; remember what happened to Madame Curies health from working with pitch blend. Good piece. A full blown evil Corporatocracy, operating under an Agenda of environmental concern. Nothing could be further from the Truth. .interestingly enough Scalia was the deciding vote that gave corporations the same right s as humans while making liability almost impossible for them to be held accountable for. Which is a shame because that ruling will be almost impossible to undo as corporations do as they do with impunity. America needs to get fascists out of her capitalism. The Aliso Canyon So Cal Gas facility is an utter cluster. From inept management down to lazy and fraudulent workers. The atmosphere within this facility is similar to what you would expect from a hillbillys back porch. No wonder the leak occurred and continued for months on end. B-bob wants you to believe the methane release originating two miles below earths surface has been contained. He also wants you to believe his geoengineered drought was caused by CO2.

1	Calling the theological giant's stranglehold on the religion industry 'blatantly anti-competitive,' a U.S. district judge ruled Monday that God is in violation of anti-monopoly laws and ordered Him to be broken up into several less powerful deities. 'The evidence introduced in this trial has convinced me that the deity known as God has willfully and actively thwarted competition from other deities and demigods, promoting His worship with such unfair scare tactics as threatening non-believers with eternal damnation,' wrote District Judge Charles Elliot Schofield in his decision. 'In the process, He has carved out for Himself an illegal monotheopoly.' The suit, brought against God by the Justice Department on behalf of a coalition of 'lesser deities' and polytheistic mortals, alleged that He violated antitrust laws by claiming in the Holy Bible that He was the sole creator of the universe, and by strictly prohibiting the worship of what He termed 'false idols.' 'God clearly commands that there shall be no other gods before Him, and He frequently employs the phrase 'I AM the Lord' to intimidate potential deserters,' prosecuting attorney Geoffrey Albert said. 'God uses other questionable strongarm tactics to secure and maintain humanity's devotion, demanding, among other things, that people sanctify their firstborn to Him and obtain circumcisions as a show of faith. There have also been documented examples of Him smiting those caught worshipping graven images.' Attorneys for God did not deny such charges. They did, however, note that God offers followers 'unbeatable incentives' in return for their loyalty, including eternal salvation, protection from harm, and 'fruitfulness.' 'God was the first to approach the Jewish people with a 'covenant' contract that guaranteed they would be the most favored in His eyes, and He handed down standards of morality, cleanliness, and personal conduct that exceeded anything else practiced at the time,' lead defense attorney Patrick Childers said. 'He readily admits to being a 'jealous' God, not because He is threatened by the prospect of competition from other gods, but because He is utterly convinced of the righteousness of His cause and that He is the best choice for mortals. Many of these so-called gods could care less if somebody bears false witness or covets thy neighbor's wife. Our client, on the other hand, is truly a 'People's God.'' In the end, however, God was unable to convince Schofield that He did not deliberately create a marketplace hostile to rival deities. God's attorneys attempted to convince the judge of His openness to rivals, pointing to His longtime participation in the 'Holy Trinity,' but the effort failed when Schofield determined that Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost are 'more God subsidiaries than competitors.' To comply with federal antitrust statutes, God will be required to divide Himself into a pantheon of specialized gods, each representing a force of nature or a specific human custom, occupation, or state of mind. 'There will most likely be a sun god, a moon god, sea god, and rain god,' said religion-industry watcher Catherine Bailey. 'Then there will be some second-tier deities, like a god of wine, a goddess of the harvest, and perhaps a few who symbolize human love and/or blacksmithing.' Leading theologians are applauding the God breakup, saying that it will usher in a new era of greater worshipping options, increased efficiency, and more personalized service. 'God's prayer-response system has been plagued by massive, chronic backlogs, and many prayers have gone unanswered in the process,' said Gene Suozzi, a Phoenix-area Wiccan. 'With polytheism, you pray to the deity specifically devoted to your concern. If you wish to have children, you pray to the fertility goddess. If you want to do well on an exam, you pray to the god of wisdom, and so on. This decentralization will result in more individualized service and swifter response times.' Other religious experts are not so confident that the breakup is for the best, pointing to the chaotic nature of polytheistic worship and noting that multiple gods demand an elaborate regimen of devotion that today's average worshipper may find arduous and inconvenient. 'If people want a world in which they must lay burnt offerings before an earthenware household god to ensure that their car will start on a cold winter morning, I suppose they can have it,' said Father Thomas Reinholdt, theology professor at Chicago's Loyola University. 'What's more, lesser deities are infamous for their mercurial nature. They often meddle directly in diplomatic affairs, abduct comely young mortal women for their concubines, and are not above demanding an infant or two for sacrifice. Monotheism, for all its faults, at least means convenience, stability, and a consistent moral code.' One deity who is welcoming the verdict is the ancient Greek god Zeus, who described himself as 'jubilant' and 'absolutely vindicated.' 'For thousands of years, I've been screaming that this third-rate sky deity ripped me off wholesale,' said Zeus, speaking from his Mt. Olympus residence. 'Every good idea He ever had He took from me: Who first created men in his own image? Who punished mankind for its sins? Who lived eternally up in the clouds? And the whole fearsome, patriarchal, white-beard, thunderbolt thing? I was doing that eons before this two-bit hustler started horning in on the action.' Lawyers for God say they plan to appeal Schofield's ruling and are prepared to go all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary. 'This decision is a crushing blow to God worshippers everywhere, and we refuse to submit to a breakup until every possible avenue of argument is pursued,' Childers said. 'I have every confidence that God will ultimately win, as He and His lawyers are all-powerful.'

I finished up all the ones from when the kids were littleincluding the ones from the old houseand I already made my way through that box Grandma gave us, so pretty soon there wont be any left to put on the computer, the visibly anxious 56-year-old said of the imminent culmination of a project that has occupied many of his weeknights and Saturday afternoons since he came across a scanner on sale at a local electronics retailer three months ago. I suppose I could still go through and take the red-eye out of them. And I should get a hard drive to back them up on, in case something happens to my computer. Maybe Ill check the attic again to make sure Im not missing any old school portraits. At press time, sources confirmed a relieved-looking Forrester had hit upon the idea of going back through the entire collection and adding approximate dates to every photograph.

2	Father Of Man Who Shot Two NYPD Officers Assigns Blame For Killing... And Its Not His Son According to recent reports, the father of one of the two men accused of robbing a Bronx deli is reportedly blaming the Marine Corps and the streets for pushing his son to extremes. The incident ended in the suspects shooting at five NYPD cops, and injuring two of them. I apologize to the families that my son affected by his actions, but my son is not like this, says Johnny Polanco of his 24-year-old son Jason. The worst thing I ever did was bring him down to Decatur Avenue. He was a good kid before we moved to this forsaken block. He then went on to blame the Marine Corps for his sons actions. When he came back, he was totally a different person, Polanco continued. He had a problem being around crowds and he didnt like civilians. I told him Jase, this is not life. Jason was arrested last week after robbing the Welcome 2 Yemen Deli. He was already on parole for robbery, and had 10 prior incidents at the time. In fact, he had been arrested three times for possessing weapons. Jason was identified and arrested thanks to security footage that investigators released. What do you think of his fathers claims?

During a recent appearance at Tindley Temple United Methodist church, Sanders apologized for slavery and promised reparations in the form of building up African-American communities. Theres nothing that anybody can do to undo the deaths and misery, how many people we dont even know who died on the way over here in the ships, Sanders commented. I think my view is pretty close to President Obamas, and that is we understand the legacy of slavery, he continued. We understand that. As everybody in this room knows, what were seeing in many African-American communities, is outrageously high levels of unemployment, inadequate education, inadequate healthcare, Sanders argued. I think what we have got to do as a nation is invest in those communities who need thatinvestment the most. As if that werent blatant enough, Sanders went on to claim that communities facing long-term structural issues should become the communities that receive the highest priority for federal assistance. Let us make sure that in every way, federal funding goes to those communities who need it the most, Sanders concluded. In most case, though, those areas are inhabited by blacks. What do you think of Bernies comments? Could he be any more transparent? This is pathetic! 
1	Saying that he wanted to make things as easy as possible for all the dumbshits to locate, Back Pages Bookshop owner Stephen Larrick told reporters Friday that he had placed all of the Dave Eggers titles on a table near the independent bookstores entrance where any stupid son of a bitch who wandered in could find them. A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius, Zeitoun, the new oneI piled all that shit smack-dab in the middle of the room for the dum-dums to snatch up, Larrick said of the centrally located display, adding that he had attached a handwritten list of staff recommendations that directed the fuckers to several further titles located nearby. And wait until these dim bulbs see the bookcase I set up with those anthologies of George Saunders short stories. Theyll start squealing like pigs in shit. Larrick added that he would almost feel bad for these chumps if he wasnt riding them straight to the goddamn bank.

Since the GMO project failed to reduce the mosquito population as expected, there are the same number of mosquitoes as existed before. No mystery and no conspiracy. The disease itself has been around for decades. GMO are Genetically Modified Seeds, fruit vegetables altered to kill pests, last longer on shelves, grow bigger tasteless, but also cause cancer when eaten over prolonged time. Hear ! Hear ! Exxon, Chevron, Conoco, BP, Shell Wars, West East created, armed supplied all terrorist by-proxy armies in the middle east. Theres no Ahmed Rifle or Sayeed Grenade. We radicalized sponsor those people through proxy financial countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Kuwait, UAE. Hear Anyone else hear the name Kelly Slater and immediately think of Saved By the Bell? Im sure that the MSM would not interview this guy KUDOS Luke and Kelly. What a cool guy, not into surfing or that world, but he seems like a really together, cool guy.knows his stuff, very confident and good looking, too. I enjoyed the article. Im with you, Kelly Slater! Monsanto has turned Kauai into the Island of Dr. Moreau with their GMO testing because they can have 3 to 4 growing cycles. The citizens have banded together to stop this testing, but Monsanto is using their financial clout to shut down the bans. 
3	Medical Hypnosis used as a General AnesthesiaElizabeth Renter The Potential Value in Medical Hypnosis In 2009, Professor David Spiegel of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Services at Stanford University pushed to have hypnotherapy, or medical hypnosis, included in the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellences (U.K) list of approved therapeutic techniques. As reported by The Guardian, Spiegel had this to say in his speech at the joint conference of the Royal Society of Medicine, the British Society of Medical and Dental Hypnosis, and the British Society of Clinical and Academic Hypnosis: There is solid science behind what sounds like mysticism and we need to get that message across to the bodies that influence this area. Hypnosis has no negative side-effects. It makes operations quicker, as the patient is able to talk to the surgeon as the operation proceeds, and it is cheaper than conventional pain relief. Since it does not interfere with the workings of the body, the patient recovers faster, too. Yes, there is a stigma surrounding hypnosis, and many within the general public and the medical community think it is some parlor trick rather than an effective medical tool. But parlor tricks dont allow doctors to perform major operations (hysterectomies, lumpectomies, etc.) without general anesthesia. A study on women undergoing lumpectomies, for example, showed that those who underwent hypnosis felt about 50% less pain than the control group. In another case, an overweight school teacher in the UK lost almost 8 stone (112 pounds in the US), after undergoing medical hypnosis being hypnotized into believing she went through gastric band surgery. Even for those doctors who think hypnosis has some value, a complete acceptance of it is rare. Instead, they believe it should be used for the psychiatric sciences, in the treatment of depression and addiction, for instance, rather than in the medical field. Dr. Daniel Kohen, a pediatrician and professor at the University of Minnesota, says hypnotherapy works in pain management because people ultimately control how their pain feels. It is the job of the brain. And controlling your perception of the pain can essentially eliminate it. This article first appeared on NaturalSociety.com linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	Utter global disinterest in the wholesale slaughter of 250,000 ethnic Bajuni people this week has caused Somali warlord Maj. Fortunate Charles to regret all the effort he put into covering up the atrocities. 'I went out of my way to hide the corpses in secret mass graves, I burnt entire villages to the ground to destroy evidenceall for nothing,' said Charles, adding that he had expected intense media scrutiny or at least some kind of U.N. fact-finding mission. 'Next time, I'll leave them lying where they fall with the machetes still in their heads.' Charles said he was also upset about the money he'd wasted on the custom-fitted Italian suit he had intended to wear while on trial in the Hague. 
1	Former Red Sox infielder Kevin Youkilis took out a full-page advertisement in Juggs on Monday thanking 'all the trim in Boston' for being 'the absolute greatest cooch in the world.' 'Dear Gash of Boston: For the past eight years, I have loved every minute I spent dipping my wick inside hot, wet snatch from Braintree to Cambridge and pounding that puss like crazy,' the ad, which featured text wrapped around an image of Youkilis flicking his tongue between his index and middle fingers, read in part. 'I will always cherish the time I spent deep-dicking your slits and tonguing your clits. Thank you from the bottom of my rock-hard cock, Kevin Youkilis, 69.' Youkilis, who returned to Fenway Park this week for the first time since being traded to the White Sox, pretended to hump his baseball cap as he took the field Monday, all the while urging Red Sox fans to show their support by 'flashing [him] some beaver.'

1	Explaining how every feature of the sleek, modern work environment was expressly constructed to foster creativity and innovation, executives from Bisquick unveiled the companys immense new Silicon Valley campus Friday. The 650,000-square-foot Gehry Partnersdesigned complex, built to accommodate the baking-mix makers growing staff and expansive research division, reportedly includes a soaring seven-story glass atrium, dozens of diversely themed and luxuriously appointed meeting rooms, a state-of-the-art batter lab, and a landscaped 8.5-acre rooftop green space and recreation area. Bisquick is always looking toward the future, and every aspect of our new headquarters reflects our commitment to supporting the best minds in the home-baking industry, said Bisquick VP of employee engagement Melissa Reinert, adding that the prime Bay Area location and dozens of onsite amenities were intended to attract the very best talent from around the world. Our goal is to remove any barriers to productivity and give employees every resourcefrom custom nonstick griddles to personal nap podsthat they could possibly need to succeed. We want our employees to be dreaming big, Reinert continued. After all, the pancake and biscuit recipes being devised on this campus are the ones everyone will be mixing 10 years from now. According to company sources, the campuss main building, a distinctive angular structure of gleaming steel and glass nicknamed The Playground, features a sprawling open-plan layout meant to facilitate employee interaction. To move between departmentsas far as a mile between IT and Weeknight Meal Ideasthe company has reportedly provided several hundred rechargeable electric scooters, while a fleet of Wi-Fi-equipped Bisquick vans is said to be available 24 hours a day to shuttle workers between the complex and their homes in San Francisco, Berkeley, San Jose, and other surrounding cities. Its well known that Bisquick expects a lot from its employees, but in return weve strived to give them the benefits to match. Reinert said the values Bisquick sought to embody in the design of the campus are the same that drive the company itself: simplicity, freshness, quality, and fun. To that end, Bisquick added many communal facilities, including a full-size saltwater swimming pool, 10 onsite pancake bars stocked with organic fruits and various flavors of syrup, a Japanese zen garden hand-constructed in Kyoto and reassembled on campus, and a weekly lecture series at the grounds 2,000-seat amphitheater featuring speakers such as futurist Michio Kaku, fiction writer Stephenie Meyer, and former British prime minister Tony Blair. Additionally, located in a black cube-shaped building in the northwest corner of the campus is Futurequick, Bisquicks secretive advanced R&D group accessible only to a select few employees with the highest security clearance, which is purportedly responsible for trailblazing technological feats like the companys premade Shake N Pour pancakes and the ice cream wafflewich. Its well known that Bisquick expects a lot from its employees, but in return weve strived to give them the benefits to match, said Reinert, highlighting the companys free onsite daycare and hot yoga classes. Our workers are unquestionably the best, and this environment is meant to empower them to build their own agendas. In fact, we encourage every hire to set aside 20 percent of their time for quick-bake passion projects. Our Bisquick Bakery Refrigerated Dough product was actually dreamed up by an employee in Finance during his Free-Focus Time, she added. Thats a perfect example of the kind of brilliant minds we have here at Bisquick. While many in the area have hailed the arrival of Bisquick, some longtime residentswary of higher rents and the companys famously insular corporate culturehave expressed skepticism. Bisquick is just another one of these Silicon Valley behemoths that moves in and totally changes the communityand not for the better, said local resident Peter Watson, who noted that the land used for Bisquicks indoor rock climbing wall used to be open park space that the city sold to help attract the company. When I moved here in the 80s, it was all students and families; now, my whole street is nothing but Bisquick millionaires in their electric cars and luxury penthouses. My neighbors and I have complained to the city council, but with Bisquicks deep pockets, there really isnt anything we can do, Watson added. I guess we just have to put up with it and hope that, sooner or later, this pancake bubble bursts. 
2	Whoopi Learns Her Fait After Attacking Mike Pence, Wrong Move [VIDEO] Ever since Donald Trump became our nations President-elect, Whoopi Goldberg and her co-hosts on The View have been whining about how unfair the result is. In a segment on Monday, the women discussed the Hamilton incident involving Mike Pence on Friday night. The conversation quickly turned hostile. Host Sunny Hostin claimed the statement was important to be directed at Mike Pence since the cast of the show is so diverse. Sara Haines agreed, citing Pences history of advocating for gay conversion therapy. He actually redirected some funding from AIDs research to conversion, Haines argued. Jedidiah Bila, on the other hand, chose to defend Pence, arguing that she didnt mind the statement, only how it was done. I think there has to be a placeMike Pence didnt show up there as [Vice] President-elect, he showed up with his daughter to see a play, Bila argued, despite hostile interruptions from her co-hosts. This was not a political discussion. If I went to see a play, Im very vocal politically on this show, if I went to see a play But youre not Vice President and they wouldnt be doing this to you, Goldberg jumped in. Maybe if I explain how this works, youll understand it better. Goldberg continued in her condescending tone, arguing that when the cast learned Pence would not be coming backstage they read the statement during curtain call instead, because they wrote this for him, they wrote this to him. Bila did not back down. The way that I felt hearing it was, youre basically marginalizing that person in the audience, Bila argued. Youre saying, youre part of the problem. I hope that you wont be, but my perception of you is that youre the other. Were not surprised Goldberg and Behar have no respect for the future leaders of this country. Watch the segment below and tell us what you think. 
2	Woman Drives Up In A Mercedes To Pick Up Food Stamps, Watch What Happens Next Six years ago, Darlena Cunha and her family was earning $120,000, and were living more than comfortably in a wealthy suburb. At the time, Cunha and her husband owned a $250,000 home, and had two children on the way. When the market crashed, however, the family income dropped to $25,000 a year, and the couple was forced to sign up for WIC to support their new family. To the American people, it sounded like a sob story. Of course, that was until the realized the truth behind the situation. Despite the familys hardship, Cunha made the decision not to sell their 2003 Mercedeseven to support her family. Now the Cunha family is receiving a public lashing for receiving food stamps while driving a luxury vehicle. One commenter wrote, This story bothers me on multiple levels. For one, it is obvious that the Mercedes should have been sold and a cheaper more reliable car should have been bought. If this was done there would be more money to spend elsewhere (where its actually needed). Lets be honest though, we all know why she didnt sell the Benz, its because she was trying to hide behind it, its clear she has always tried to put up some sort of faade for her life. She clearly likens to the status symbols and not pure logic. God forbid she be seen in a 98 Honda. Another angry commenter had a message for Cunha directly, Lets use math. Your car retailed for about 30k, 4 years later, when you needed the money you could have sold the Mercedes, bought a reliable non-luxury car for 5k or less and had at least 15k leftor 6-10 months of your incomeLOL, at least you kept your prideI meanMercedes What do you think? Does this story reveal a greater flaw within the system? 
1	Despite being constantly tempted by the seductive power of having an apocalyptic arsenal at his fingertips, President Barack Obama somehow made it through another day Tuesday without unlocking the box on his desk that houses 'the button' and launching all 5,113 U.S. nuclear warheads. Though the president confirmed his schedule was packed with security briefings, public appearances, and cabinet meetings, he said he couldn't help but steal a few glances at the bright red button, which is 'right there, staring at [him], all the time.' Tuesday marks the 841st-straight day Obama has withstood the button's powerful allure. 'I think I was closer to pressing the button today than I have ever been,' Obama said during a press conference from the White House Rose Garden, adding that he would be lying if he said he wasn't thinking about the button right at that very moment. 'Let me be clear: I do not want to start a thermonuclear war. But knowing that I could at any moment, and that it would be so easy, well, it almost feels like I'm being tested or something.' President Often Feels Button Put There 'Just To Taunt' Him 'Did you know that if you sort of put enough weight on the button with your fingertip, you can feel a little slack there before it actually clicks?' Obama added. 'Thank you, and God bless America.' According to Beltway insiders, it has taken everything in Obama's power lately to distract himself from the button, which the president once told an aide is 'sort of begging to be pressed, you know?' At one point Tuesday, Obama reportedly forced himself to stop glaring at the button by leaving his desk and staring silently across the White House lawn, only to return seconds later to gaze at it some more. Obama has also been overheard asking White House staffers if they weren't just the least bit curious what would happen if he just waltzed in there right now and pushed it. 'I don't want to unleash Armageddon,' said Obama, adding that there is a 50-50 chance he won't be able to get through his next day in office without pressing the button at least once. 'But it's hard not to dare myself to do it. It's like I'm standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon, taking it all in, and I'm one millisecond away from saying to myself, 'Fuck it, Barack. Just jump.'' 'Bravo-Delta-five-seven-three-Delta-Charlie-zero-two-Tango-Tango-eight-one-six-Echo-Foxtrot-zero-zero-nine-four-nine,' Obama continued. 'Those were the launch codes as of three minutes ago. They constantly change, but I memorize them.' Sources told reporters that when Obama first took office, the thought of pressing the button and launching thousands of ICBMs only crossed his mind two or three times a day. Two-and-a-half years into his term, however, the button consumes him at all times, whether he is watching basketball, playing with his children, or lying in his bed at night. During a deficit-reduction meeting last Monday with House Speaker John Boehner, the president's index finger was reportedly resting on the button the entire time without his even realizing it. 'Apropos of nothing, the president approached me one day and said, 'Think about it: There is a button 3 feet away from me, that I, a human being, could press and virtually end the human race. Tell me you wouldn't be slightly tempted to push it,'' Sen. Kent Conrad (D-ND) said. 'Then the president said he often wondered if the exploding bombs would look like a movie in which dozens and dozens of mushroom clouds rise from Earth and can be seen from outer space.' 'The way he talked about it, I think I would have pressed it by now, honestly,' Conrad added. 'Jesus, I'm breathing faster just thinking about it.' Historians have noted that a strong desire to press the button is not uncommon among U.S. presidents. After just one year in office, Jimmy Carter wrote in his diary, 'You don't leave a man alone in a room with a button like that,' and two years later the pages were simply covered with the word 'button' over and over again. In 1974, Richard Nixon rapidly pressed the button 12 times just prior to his resignation, but Pentagon officials had already disconnected its triggering mechanism. At press time, large-scale nuclear explosions had been confirmed in Pyongyang, Beijing, Moscow, Tehran, and Washington, D.C. 
2	U.S. Airstrikes Hit ISIS Bank Filled With Cash According to recent reports, U.S. warplanes destroyed a large Islamic State bank in Mosul late Monday night. This marks the second time in a week that the military has targeted an ISIS finance center holding cash reserves. An estimated $45 million was located in the ISIS storage facility and the time, and was subsequently destroyed in the attack, according to officials. Reports also indicate that the collective strikes on the two sites are crushing ISIS, according to the senior defense official. ISIS salaries to fighters and civil servants have been significantly reduced as a result of the strikes. The latest report comes just one week after a separate airstrike destroyed an ISIS building housing an estimated $90 million in cash. Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Abadi has stated that he strives to retake Mosul, which is currently occupied by around 2,000 ISIS fighters, by the end of 2016. Iraqi military officials are planning to start a ground offensive beginning in spring. What do you think? Do you support our military taking actions to cut of ISIS financing? 
1	Noting that the recent hire was probably content with the firms current bland, cookie-cutter workspace, sources at advertising firm KGC Creative confirmed Wednesday that new employee Kyle Lawrence was never able to partake of the decadent pleasures of the companys old office three blocks over. There was so much more space back in the old place, and the cubicles had full 5-foot walls, not these little partitionsit was great, said longtime employee Sean Lavin, shaking his head as he lamented how his young colleague never had the opportunity to luxuriate in the opulence of a workspace whose many hedonistic splendors included softer recessed lighting, larger windows, and a far better coffee machine. Back then we were on the top floor, so we had a pretty good view; you could even see the river. Oh, and the kitchen in that place even had a dishwasher. Not like this office we have now, not at all. Lavin added that the recent hire also missed out on the wondrous, intoxicating joys of working with Bill, a project team leader who management recently let go. 
2	Michelle Obama Declares War On Common Supermarket Food After receiving backlash on the extreme implementation of the Lets Move! Initiative into public school lunch programs, it looks like First Lady Michelle Obama has another agenda to push. According to Michelle, potatoes need to be cut out of American diets, and substituted instead with her approved choices of fruits and vegetables. Her campaign has already been criticized for being unrealistic, and it doesnt appear that she is doing anything to help her cause. In fact, thus far, her plan has left children more hungry and with less nutrients than they initially started out with. The problem is that many women and children already consume enough potatoes and not enough of the nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables they need, Michelle commented, Thats why the Institute of Medicinethe nonpartisan, scientific body that advises on the standards for WIC has said that potatoes should not be part of the WIC program. 
1	In a discovery biblical scholars say sheds new light on the historical portrait of Jesus, religious researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have found that Jesus of Nazareth was delivered by Dr. Sidney Adler, M.D., a prominent obstetrician with a private practice in Galilee. While many details surrounding the chronology and events of Jesus birth are still unknown, what we know for sure is that the man known as Jesus of Nazareth was delivered in a stable outside Bethlehem under the care of the private obstetrician Sidney Adler, who received his medical degree from Johns Hopkins University and completed his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Los Angeles, Professor of History Dr. Robert Beinin said of the new scholarly research, which found that Dr. Adler accepted Mary of Nazareth as a patient around 5 B.C. and heavily monitored the first-time mother for complications such as pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes. Dr. Adler was recommended to Mary by a friend, he conducted her first ultrasound, and the Mother of God was said to be very pleased with his brand of personalized, compassionate care. When Mary went into labor unexpectedly, Dr. Adler rushed to her side and administered an epidural, then kept her calm and composed as he safely delivered the Son of God. Scholars added that Dr. Adler remained personal friends with Mary after the pregnancy and delivered all of her subsequent children.

Youll Love This Laura Ingraham has made a name for herself as one of the biggest stars in conservative politics, though she has never held elected political office. Now, it appears Ingraham if considering shifted away from the private sector into the world of politics, where she will take on one of the biggest players in Hillary Clintons circle. According to reports, Republican Party insiders have been urging Ingraham to run for Senator of Virginia for some time now. If she moves forward, she would be attempting to knock out Democratic Senator Tim Kaine, Hillarys running mate during her most recent Presidential campaign. Though her team has not yet issued a definitive statement on the matter, they did offer clues into where Laura stands on the matter. Her business partner, Peter Anthony, has already been purchasing website domain names for her campaign. So far, Anthony has snapped up ingrahamsenate.com, ingrahamsenate.net, ingrahamforvirginia.com and ingraham2018.com. What do you think? Should Laura Ingraham take on Tim Kaine in 2018?

3	UN Says Agenda 21 and African Land Grabs will Save the ForestsSusanne Posel, Contributor The RRI encourage forest protection and policy reforms within the forest economy. They work alongside development agendas under the guise of supporting local livelihoods. Nations with the agenda of installing regional and global initiatives to collaborate research, advocacy and implementing strategic actions that reflect sustainability. In February of this year , RRI was involved in the land grab initiative in which 500 million residents of the sub-Saharan region of Africa was targeted for its 3.46 billion acres of farmland. Foreign governments and investors purchased this land to produce food that would not be used to feed the African people, but rather sold to countries like the US for profit. In a 2011 report, the International Land Coalition (ILC), a global network of civil society and farmers organizations, estimated the global rush for land demanded 494 million acres in sub-Saharan Africa in 2000-10. ILC descended upon West Africa, where land acquisitions by foreign corporations and governments were causing environmental and agricultural devastation along the River Niger, in Africa. The siphoning of water for huge areas of farmland will worsen the already low water levels of the Niger, the report said. The outcome was a 50 percent diminution of the delta flood plains land area. Given that social conflict over resources between farmers and pastoralists has always been a feature of the Niger Basin, the Coalition suggests that large-scale irrigation could heighten tension between local and downstream water users. The RRI will be speaking at the UN Earth Summit Rio+20 next month where they will discuss politically motivated land reforms. The UN themselves have enacted global guidelines on purchasing agricultural land from developing nations like Africa and Asia. Nations like Ethiopia, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo and Sierra Leone, in Africa have voluntarily signed agreements with multinational corporations and foreign investors, allowing them 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. Once agreements are signed, the land and the people are indebted to the UN for slave labor to work the land and watch their resources being reallocated to other countries for consumption. The promise of investment and technological advancement are just the hook to convince leaders to sign away the rights of their people and their land. President Barack Obama supports the UNs land grab scheme with the installation of his $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. Over the last decade, the UN has acquired an area of land in Africa and Asia the size of Great Britain. Partners of the RRI directly engage in land grab schemes under the guise of forest policy reform in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The study conducted by the RRI focused on China, India, and Brazil, and deforestations impact on sustainability. Deforestation is assumed to produce 20% of the CO2 released into the atmosphere. Like in communities in America, the Agenda 21 policies are dispersed on a local level, as the RRI point out that in Chinas Tenchong area, the residents vote on forest management or individual maintenance. Reforms in China are seen as a blueprint as Agenda 21 slowly infiltrates the Asian nation. In Asia, most governments continue to deny local land rights and to promote economic activities that result in deforestation. Forests in the region are being depleted, communities are losing their homelands, and corruption is common, the RRI report says. RRI has identified Laos, Cambodia and Malaysia as violators of the new biodiversity protocols as deforestation has extended to ancient old growth forests. Andy White, RRI coordinator stressed that reforms need to be in place to protect local residents rights however he also asserts that: Land rights have to be secure for development to be sustainable. The standard of sustainability is clearly defined in the UNs documents concerning biodiversity and Agenda 21 Sustainable Development. While many world leaders have declined attend the UN Earth Summit this year, conservationists like the Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) program are concerned their proposals on the reformation of land rights will not be heard. REDD is an international program that allocates funds to nations that want to cut emissions while adhering to predisposed forest governance regulations, commitment to biodiversity and supposed rights of indigenous people, while maintaining land rights be redistributed to responsible groups in land-grab-style acquisition. White contends: Unless the land issue is addressed, we are not going to make progress on REDD, global warming or even poverty. REDD provides incentives to make sure forests are not cut down. REDD has run across difficulties in China, as the public regularly protests the land grab schemes referred to as maintaining local land rights. To justify their land grab policies, REDD is promoting the Tengchong region as an example of successful land allocation that supports sustainability. Africa is a focus for land-grabbing schemes as the issue of land rights has been largely ignored by agribusinesses and global investment funds that infiltrate public land holdings, according to White.

1	Though neither has openly acknowledged it, Marc Morrell and Justin Rotham, longtime best friends and sophomores at Miami University of Ohio, each regard the other as a sidekick. Mutual sidekicks Morrell and Rotham. 'Me and Marc, we're like Batman and Robin,' said Rotham, 19, who met Morrell when both were freshmen at Canton (OH) McKinley High School. 'Wherever I lead, I can count on him to follow.' Morrell expressed similar affection for his sidekick. 'Justin and I make a great team,' Morrell said. 'No matter what crazy plan I come up with, I always know that he's gonna be right there to back me up. If this were Ferris Bueller's Day Off, I'd be Ferris and he'd be Cameron Frye.' Added Morrell: 'Chuck D and Flavor Flav, Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon, me and Justin... standing beside every great man is a great sidekick.' Like many best friends, Morrell and Rotham have similar tastes, sharing an affection for the The Simpsons, Kurt Vonnegut, and the BBC series Black Adder. 'I love Rowan Atkinson as Black Adder,' Rotham said. 'I can't even watch Mr. Bean. It's okay, but it's not like Atkinson's in his prime anymore.' 'I'm not surprised he'd say that,' Morrell said later. 'He'd never even heard of Black Adder before I got him into it. Now, he's the world's greatest expert on it. Like I said, wherever Marc leads, Justin follows.' While Morrell claims superior knowledge of Black Adder, Rotham says he's the authority when it comes to music. 'I'm the one who got him to stop listening to all that Top 40 crap and turned him on to electronica and trance stuff like John Digweed,' Rotham said. 'Now, he compares everything to Digweed, and I have to set him straight when it's more like Paul Oakenfold. He's still learning.' The duo's mutual sidekicksmanship often manifests itself during road trips. 'Whenever we drive down to Cincinnati to see bands, I take the wheel,' Morrell said. 'Me being the leader, not to mention the one with the car, I'm always the one who drives.' Rotham, however, sees it differently. 'As the man with the plan, I choose to take the role of navigator on road trips,' he said. 'Marc couldn't find his ass with a homing device, so that means I've got to man the maps. And, let's face it, even though Sulu pilots the Enterprise, he still takes orders from Kirk. I am captain, and Marc is my first lieutenant.' Though Morrell and Rotham generally enjoy having a sidekick, both acknowledged that it occasionally has its downside. 'Justin's a great guy and all, but sometimes it's tough to make my moves when he's always hanging on my sleeve,' Morrell said. 'Like, last weekend, we were at this house party, and I was trying to chat up this cute girl Amy from my psych class, and he wouldn't leave my side for a second.' Rotham expressed similar frustration over his friend's reliance on him in social situations. 'If not for me, he'd never even talk to girls,' Rotham said. 'He counts on me to steer the ladies his way. Usually, I'm happy to, but every now and then it'd be nice if he could make things happen on his own.' Neither Morrell nor Rotham are dating, but both expressed confidence that they have some 'hot leads.' Those who know the pair, however, have their doubts. 'Those guys are sort of cool in their own way, but mostly they're dorks,' said Renee Callahan, a friend of the two. 'I mean, they go everywhere together, have all these retarded inside jokes, and even dress almost identically. And they definitely share a lack of success with the ladies. I don't know why they don't just admit they're in love with each other.' Morrell and Rotham concede that the affection is mutual, though not equal. 'I love Justin like a brother,' Morrell said, 'but he definitely needs me a lot more than I need him.' 'Without me, Marc would be totally lost,' Rotham said.

3	Legislators slam advertising group for advising members to avoid Do Not Track technologyMadison Ruppert, Contributor The DAAs statement was far from surprising given the fact that the industry is in fact focused on data mining. Considering the troubling developments like Googles patented technology which can tailor advertisements based on environmental information like background sounds, this effort to collect massive amounts of data which is then passed off to government agencies will only get more intense. While Reps. Barton and Markey arent bringing the issue of the collaboration between companies like Google and the U.S. intelligence community, their privacy concerns are inextricably linked. Markey and Barton co-chair the Bipartisan Privacy Caucus and, in addressing the DAAs statement, said the advertising industry is putting profits over privacy. The DAAs statement comes after Microsoft announced this June that they will make Microsofts Internet Explorers default setting one which requests that third-party advertisers do not track the browsing activity of users. However, as the previous sentence might have made clear to some, this is a request. It does not force the advertisers to not track you. Note: If you want to avoid as much tracking as possible (which is getting increasingly difficult) please explore my easily followed guides available here and here and implement as many of the methods as you can. The industrys perspective on the Do Not Track issue is even more absurd when one realizes that just 8.6 percent of people who use the desktop version of Mozilla Firefox have enabled the Do Not Track feature. Some sites like Wired have gone as far as to essentially demand users trust their site if they want to read all of the content as you can see in the below screenshot: Yet the DAA is staunchly opposed to anything that would increase that number even slightly, such as the default Do Not Track feature in Internet Explorer. Machine-driven do not track does not represent user choice; it represents browser-manufacturer choice, stated the DAA. Allowing browser manufacturers to determine the kinds of information users receive could negatively impact the vast consumer benefits and Internet experiences delivered by DAA participants and millions of other Web sites that consumers value, the DAA wrote. This comes after advertisers already agreed earlier this year to stop tracking users browsing activity if they had the Do Not Track option enabled in their browser. That being said, at the time none of the major browsers had Do Not Track enabled as a default setting. A default on do-not-track mechanism offers consumers and businesses inconsistencies and confusion instead of comfort and security, the DAA claimed. Barton and Markey countered this claim by pointing out that the DAAs perspective has it essentially backwards. They argue rightly, in my opinion that users should have to opt-in to allow advertisers to track them across the internet. If consumers want to be tracked online, they should have to opt-in to be tracked, instead of the other way around, Markey and Barton said in a statement. While we appreciate the efforts industry has taken to develop a Do Not Track signal, we have long endorsed a standard that allows consumers to affirmatively choose whether to permit collection of their personal information and targeting of advertisements, they continued. Until we have stronger privacy laws in place that mandate a company adhere to a consumers preference, especially for children and teens, consumers and their personal information will remain at risk, Barton and Markey stated. Indeed, our personal information is at risk and not only from advertisers but also from those government agencies they eagerly work with. Unless legitimate privacy protection legislation is passed, we can only reasonably expect it to get worse.

3	How the Deep States Two-Dimensional Engineered Reality Actually WorksBy Bernie Suarez People are understanding that government propaganda is real, and that the U.S. government has gotten away with one false flag attack on its own people after another; 9/11 being just one of them, all for the purposes of justifying endless war. People also understand that the war on terror, which was ushered in by 9/11, is a lie and that because of this phony war on terror the Pentagon and U.S. military is swimming in billions of dollars of free money to do whatever they want. But what does all of this mean? Do we really understand how theyve done it and how all of this works? In 1999 Directors Andy and Lana Wachowski brought us an interesting film calledThe Matrix which nicely depicts how two alternate realities simultaneously exist: one in which the people in it have no clue what is real and what is not because the sum of the two-dimensional parts they are exposed to seems real, even though its not, and another reality where you are irreversibly awakened from that fictional reality. Over the past 17+ years since the release of The Matrix film many people have awakened to the political reality we live in. For many people it is not difficult to see the parallels between the world we live in and the world depicted in The Matrix. We can see that there is an artificial reality in play that looks and feels real, but it is not. Its a system designed to keep you enslaved, keep you disempowered, keep you in fear and keep you dependent on big government for survival. Most importantly its a system designed to keep itself in power and to preserve whatever agenda it has. Ultimately, this artificial reality is tending towards a global order where the ruling elite hope to absolutely control humanity forever in a way that is absolutely and uncompromisingly in line with their wishes. The question we should be asking is, How does this matrix work and how does it relate to the three-dimensional physical reality we live in? To answer that, the concept of the Deep State was originally proposed to describe the political corruption in Turkey as a secret state acting within a state. Though we had been warned about these ruling elite, banksters and shadow government by previous presidents going back 200+ years, following the post 9/11 period more and more people began wrapping this concept around their heads. To many, the idea of a group of elite running the world, deemed for years by the U.S. mainstream media and propaganda machine as lunatic conspiracy theories, suddenly didnt seem so crazy after all. Today the concept of a Deep State, perhaps because of its roots in Turkey, is much more believable and is seen as more plausible. In an interview for his book The Road to 9/11, author Peter Dale Scott describes the Deep State saying: It refers to a parallel secret government, organized by the intelligence and security apparatus, financed by drugs, and engaging in illicit violence, to protect the status and interests of the military against threats from intellectuals, religious groups, and occasionally the constitutional government. In this book, I adapt the term somewhat to refer to the wider interface in America between the public, the constitutionally established state, and the deep forces behind it of wealth, power, and violence outside the government. You might call it the back door of the Public state, giving access to dark forces outside the law. Since the publishing of Scotts book, the term Deep State has gained increased attention and now serves as a practical model to describe how the shadow government operates. And as humanity continues to awaken to the political reality that surrounds us, the concept of the Deep State becomes more a reality and much less fictional than the idea of the matrix, though these two are very intricately related as well see. The Matrix refers to the illusory engineered pseudo-reality that many people live in. The Deep State is the apparatus that allows that engineered and artificial two-dimension reality to be put out by the control system for daily consumption by the masses. In order to appreciate this relationship consider the quote from former CIA director William Casey in 1981 when he said that: Well know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false. This is an example of how the Deep State, which is led by Intelligence and their control and manipulation of news, is at the root of the creation of the false engineered world of lies that many people live in. As we can see by the Casey comment, the goal is not to tell a few lies but to actually create an entire reality based on those lies (think Sandy Hook, Bin Laden death hoax, etc). What many people dont realize is that this false world of lies and deceit which is presented to the masses as reality is nothing more than a series of two-dimensional items strung together by the controlled media to create an artificial reality. Like the individual frames in a movie reel, each frame seems insignificant until you look at all the frames in a timed sequence. The sequential frames then present an artificial perceived reality. This is the reason why every time the controllers pull off a staged crisis actor event or a false flag attack like 9/11, those defending the event including the media never seem to think its important to provide actual evidence for their claims. Thats because the three-dimensional evidence that truth seekers ask for always conflicts with the two-dimensional presentation they are putting out. The organic presentation of the truth itself, however, is never two-dimensional. It is actual, concrete, multi-dimensional truth which can be reasonably, logically and scientifically verified in real-time on multiple levels and reproduced endlessly without government interference due to its realistic and often simplistic nature. This is why the demand for proof of government and mainstream media claims surrounding false flags and staged events always tends to become the thing that gets truth seekers demonized, attacked, accused, and even profiled as a harassers and criminals. I recently wrote about the attack on Truth that we are seeing today and how its not just Truth that is under attack but the very search for Truth. Thats because today, searching for truth is a direct threat to the Deep State, its hypnotic control of the masses and its web of lies that make up the matrix, which in turn is keeping people enslaved. The last thing the ruling oligarchs want is for people to wake up from the matrix of lies which the Deep State has put in place. Thus identifying the Deep State then logically becomes the first step in all of this. Most people in the U.S. dont realize the degree to which the CIA and the Pentagon are secretly controlling the illusion of government. Even in an election year like 2016, Americans continue to believe the illusion of choice and Democracy which is actually one of the most important features to the operation of the Deep State. As Ive written about recently, in 2016 too many Americans are going in circles, like Groundhog Day, believing the same exact lies and promises told to them by the puppet politicians who are running for president, not realizing that this is precisely how the Deep State works. They put out their puppets and pseudo-promises, they ratchet up the campaign hoopla, and they have the candidates tell you anything you want to hear before they select their next puppet president mouthpiece. Though most Americans know full well that to repeatedly do the same thing over and over again while expecting different results constitutes insanity, they do this very thing each time a presidential election year comes around. These same Americans witness this process with their own eyes every 4 years; another election, another president, the same results. The result every time is more war, billions of dollars to the Pentagon slush fund, more false flags to justify more wars, more corruption and less accountability from government officials who get caught lying and committing crimes, more lies and propaganda sold to us by CIAs mainstream media, more police state and tyranny against the people, less freedoms, more staged mass shootings, more globalization and illegal trade agreements, more medical and scientific fraud and false claims to feed the pockets of the pharmaceutical industries and vaccine industries, and, among other things, bigger steps to get us closer and closer to the permanent establishment of a new world order to be sold as United Nations sustainable living and global peace and prosperity. It is incredible to think that at the smallest level, all of this is possible because unaware and naive Americans continue to believe the phony, artificial and engineered two-dimensional reality presented to them every day by mainstream media and Hollywood. They continue to misconstrue fiction for reality. That simple inability to discern two-dimensional proof of a claim (a picture, a video, an empty claim by mainstream media or politicians) from three-dimensional proof (all the factors that make a story true including the full collection of physical, and scientific easily reproducible proof, real non-crisis actor eyewitnesses, real blood, real logical spontaneously captured sequences of events, open investigations, etc.) now threatens the survival of the human race and is dooming humanity to a potentially very dark future. This is a future which only those who are awakened to the difference between the presented two-dimensional reality and the actual three-dimensional reality, can potentially save humanity from. Because this is so, those who realize the reality of the Deep State are therefore the greatest threat to the plans of the ruling elite who run the Deep State. This is why so many online trolls and shills are actually paid to spread State propaganda, lies, create division, insert doubt about topics and post State-sponsored rebuttals to key arguments on blog sites and social media. This is why they are fighting so hard to control the Internet, to criminalize activists, and to profile them as domestic extremists. This is also why sports fans are mesmerized with pro-military propaganda commercials and fake military worship pre-game ceremonies. This is why so many video games have pro-military and pro-war components to them. This is also why America is always told to honor the military. Thats because the military and the Intelligence is the enforcement arm of this evil Deep State. But they do know that as long as they deliver you entertainment, laughter and fun times, youll never question what or who the Deep State is. To the blind sheep its not something worth interrupting their life to believe, to try to recognize or to find answers for. In the end, you can call it whatever you want but its still the matrix of lies we live in. It operates simultaneously with reality. It looks, feels and tastes real even though it is not. Can you taste it? Can you feel it? Its all around us as we speak, but whether you see it for what it is, is entirely up to you.

3	US Aid Falls into Al Qaedas Hands in Syria by Design, Not ChanceTony Cartalucci Recently it was revealed that the US, UK, and France, through Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Turkey, and other regional allies, have been funneling cash and thousands of tons of weapons into Syria the vast majority of which have ended up in the hands of Al Qaedas Syrian franchise, Jabhat al-Nusra. The New York Times in their article titled, Arms Airlift to Syria Rebels Expands, With C.I.A. Aid, admits that: With help from the C.I.A., Arab governments and Turkey have sharply increased their military aid to Syrias opposition fighters in recent months, expanding a secret airlift of arms and equipment for the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad, according to air traffic data, interviews with officials in several countries and the accounts of rebel commanders. The airlift, which began on a small scale in early 2012 and continued intermittently through last fall, expanded into a steady and much heavier flow late last year, the data shows. It has grown to include more than 160 military cargo flights by Jordanian, Saudi and Qatari military-style cargo planes landing at Esenboga Airport near Ankara, and, to a lesser degree, at other Turkish and Jordanian airports. If the West via Saudi Arabia and Qatar is sending thousands of tons of weapons to moderates, who is sending more weapons to Jabhat al-Nusra? The obvious answer is there are no moderates, and the West has been intentionally arming Al Qaeda from the beginning. In fact, this is a documented conspiracy first revealed as early as 2007 by 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? which stated specifically: 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. Now, further evidence that the summation of US aid has fallen into the hands of Al Qaeda in Syria, comes to us from Washington Post propagandist Liz Sly who reported in her article, U.S. feeds Syrians, but secretly, that: In the heart of rebel-held territory in Syrias northern province of Aleppo, a small group of intrepid Westerners is undertaking a mission of great stealth. Living anonymously in a small rural community, they travel daily in unmarked cars, braving airstrikes, shelling and the threat of kidnapping to deliver food and other aid to needy Syrians all of it paid for by the U.S. government. Sly then claims that most Syrians credit Al Qaedas al-Nusra with providing the aid: America has done nothing for us. Nothing at all, said Mohammed Fouad Waisi, 50, spitting out the words for emphasis in his small Aleppo grocery store, which adjoins a bakery where he buys bread every day. The bakery is fully supplied with flour paid for by the United States. But Waisi credited Jabhat al-Nusra a rebel group the United States has designated a terrorist organization because of its ties to al-Qaeda with providing flour to the region, though he admitted he wasnt sure where it comes from. And while Sly attempts to spin the story as merely misdirected anger and ignorance on the part of Syrians receiving the aid, it is well documented that bakeries in terrorist-held territory are in fact manned by Al Qaeda militants. In fact, while Sly maintains that security concerns are owed for Americas opaque aid distribution operation, it appears more likely the US is attempting to insidiously obfuscate its use of humanitarian aid to help its militant proxies win hearts and minds amid a humanitarian catastrophe the West itself engineered and perpetuated intentionally. The London Telegraph revealed in their February 2013 article, Syria: how jihadist group Jabhat al-Nusra is taking over Syrias revolution, that taking over bakeries was a key strategy used by Al Qaedas al-Nusra front to win over the population: Then, in the past weeks, Jabhat al-Nusra which is outside the FSA pushed other rebel groups out of the stores and established a system to distribute bread throughout rebel areas. In a small office attached to a bakery in the Miesseh district of Aleppo, Abu Yayha studied a map pinned on the wall. Numbers were scrawled in pencil against streets. We counted the population of every street to assess the need for the area, explained Mr Yahya. We provide 23,593 bags of bread every two days for this area. This is just in one district. We are calculating the population in other districts and doing the same there. In shops the cost is now 125 Syrian pounds (1.12) for one pack. Here we sell it at 50 Syrian pounds (45p) for two bags. We distribute some for free for those who cannot pay. The bakery works constantly. Inside, barrows filled with dough were heaved onto a conveyor belt that chopped it into round and flat segments, before pushing the dough into a giant oven. Workers packed the steaming flatbread in bags. I am from Jabhat al Nusra. All the managers of all the bakeries are, said Abu Fattah, the manager. This makes sure that nobody steals. In essence, Al Qaeda is taking over neighborhoods upon a mountain of US-provided flour, in bakeries overrun and held at the barrels of US-provided guns. Humanitarian aid is being used as a political weapon to carve out territory for the Wests heavily armed proxies and extort cooperation from the subjugated people who find themselves inside Al Qaeda-occupied territory.

O people of the earth, men born and made of the elements, but with the spirit of the Divine Man within you, rise from your sleep of ignorance! Be sober and thoughtful. Realize that your home is not in the earth but in the Light. Why have you delivered yourselves over unto death, having power to partake of immortality? Repent, and change your minds. Depart from the dark light and forsake corruption forever. Prepare yourselves to climb through the Seven Rings and to blend your souls with the eternal Light. I know my way. I know the Hand that formed this vast plane into harmony and being will guide ME safely home. Above the sandy, barren waste, beyond the bril- liant moon, the twinkling stars, there is a Greater Light. I see the Light and know its force, its power, and I will not fail because I recognize it as the Light that shineth in darkness, as the Spirit that moves upon the face of the deep, as the Mind that lives, breathes, surges through ALL and eventually guides all into Unity with its own.

1	In a groundbreaking study published this week in the Journal Of Social Psychology, scientists reported that members of the millennial generation typically spend the entirety of their waking lives seeking emotional support from their parents over the phone. Drawing on extensive field observation, the study found that the vast majority of the nations 80 million millennialsAmericans born between 1982 and 2000insist on maintaining unbroken verbal contact with their mothers and fathers from the time they wake up until the time they go to bed, requiring as many as 18 hours of reassurance and validation via telephone each day. In contrast to previous generations, millennials are using technology to demand and receive a nearly endless stream of parental affirmations, said behavioral psychologist George Wright, the studys lead author. Like helpless infants, members of this demographic group instinctively seek out the security of their parents the moment they encounter even the slightest hint of unhappiness, and in most cases cannot fall asleep without the soothing sound of their mother or fathers voice flowing directly into their ears. Moreover, because they are incapable of doing anything at all by themselves, millennials need to ask their parents for advice on every single decision they make, Wright continued. Remarkably, this even includes judgments as simple as when they should get their hair cut, what foods they should purchase at the supermarket, and how warmly they should dress for the day. Wright confirmed that members of this age group all appeared to possess a deep-rooted belief that they were unique and special, which innately drove them to demand their parents full attention at all times, even from thousands of miles away. As a result, millennials reportedly forced their mothers and fathers to field dozens of calls per day, both at home and at work, and listen patiently as they explained every aspect of their lives, seemingly under the impression that each minute detail of their existence was worthy of exposition and acknowledgment. Unlike the preceding Generation X, whose members typically speak to their parents for 30 minutes every one to three weeks, millennials were found to spend an average 6.5 hours talking to one parent from morning to afternoon before asking that the phone be handed to the other parent, with whom they then remained in conversation well into the night. Moreover, a survey of research participants found that 93 percent spent the entire day in a single uninterrupted conversation with one or both parents, which typically continued when the young adult ate, watched television, drove, attended classes, or went on social outings with friends or on dates. Whats interesting is that instead of trying to deal with problems on their own, millennials prefer to vent to their parents in a ceaseless chain of grievances that lasts on average from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, said sociologist Rick Winter, noting that participants in the study failed even to attempt such outwardly simple tasks as writing checks or mailing packages by themselves, and only proved capable of performing such actions under explicit parental direction. What were seeing is a whole generation that has reached adulthood without having moved any closer to independence from the generation that raised it. Its astonishing. According to Winter, when experiencing any form of anxiety, millennials were invariably observed seeking immediate assurance that their parents had felt similar insecurities at their age, and appeared to grow agitated and uncomfortable without a near constant stream of verbal confirmation that their parents were proud of them and the life choices they had made. Additionally, participants who were unable to talk with their mothers or fathers via telephone for any longer than five minutes suffered evident mental anguish ranging from mild panic attacks to full-on nervous breakdowns, which they quickly sought to alleviate by contacting their parents via e-mail, text, or online chat services. I appreciate that my son cares enough to call home, but its getting to be a bit tiring, said 48-year-old Carol Finn, estimating that she spends 95 hours a week on the phone with her son Keegan, a junior in college. He called me three times today to ask what the permanent-press setting on the washing machine means and to tell me every last detail about some girl he talked to who works at the campus library. I dont know how much longer I can deal with this. Oh, jeez, added Finn, sighing and rolling her eyes as her cell phone began ringing. 
2	Jill Stein Elevates Things To Next Level... Its Happening Green Party candidate Jill Stein is making a shameless attempt to keep Donald Trump out of the White House, pushing for election recounts Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Now, it appears shes not stopping there. According to reports from Allen B. West, Stein didnt meet the standards for a recount in Pennsylvania and withdrew her suit. Instead, she demanded federal court intervention and filed for emergency relief demanding a statewide recount on constitutional grounds. Stein also sued Michigan to push the recount forward before Wednesday, as it must be completed by December 13. She was ultimately successfulthe recount started yesterday. And shes suing Wisconsin because the state has refused to do the recount by hand. Still, the Michigan recount started yesterday and the Wisconsin recount is already yielding some results. By the third day of the recount, Hillary Clinton had picked up 126 votes. Ironically, Trump has picked up by 138. On Sunday, Trump celebrated the setback, calling the bid a Stein scam to raise money. Yesterday, Stein appeared at a press conference at Trump Tower, in a blatant act of disrespect for the future president. She even had the nerve to call the legal actions of Trumps team frivolous. Clearly, she needs to take a look in the mirror. What do you think? Is it time for Stein to accept reality and let the rest of the country move on?

3	Report: at least $20.3 trillion hidden in offshore banks by global eliteMadison Ruppert, Contributor While this likely isnt all that crazy to those who are familiar with the massive conflicts of interest in the Federal Reserve and the fact that the Federal Reserve works with banks to put Americans on the line for the failures of banks, it might be surprising to those who have no clue how the international financial system works. The astounding sum uncovered by the Henry is slightly less than the 2011 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Japan ($5.87 trillion) on top of the 2011 United States GDP ($15.09 trillion). The findings were published in the new report, The Price of Offshore Revisited, which shows that money continues to leak out of major nations and into infamous tax havens like Switzerland and the Cayman Islands. These transactions are enabled by private banking institutions which all battle to get the accounts of what the Guardian calls the global super-rich elite, also known as high net-worth individuals. Henry demonstrates that sums between 13 trillion ($20.3 trillion) and 20 ($31.23 trillion) have made their way from countries around the world into these secretive banking jurisdictions. Ah, such is the glory of globalization! With liberalized trade and finance laws, what petty issues must the so-called global elite be concerned with? None! No more pesky regulations and legal issues to worry about when dealing with huge sums of money! Henrys research revealed that the worlds top 10 private banking institutions managed over $6 trillion in 2010 alone. This is obviously a major increase from $2.3 trillion in 2005. Among others, these banking institutions include the U.S.-based Goldman Sachs and the Swiss UBS and Credit Suisse. The research used a wide variety of sources including none other than the Bank of International Settlements and the International Monetary Fund and led to some quite astounding conclusions. The analysis in the report revealed that in some developing countries, the amount of money which has left the country since the 1970s would easily be able to pay the countrys debts. Unsurprisingly, some of the worst hit by this practice have been the oil-rich nations with an ultra-rich class which can easily take its money out of the local economy. For instance, the Guardian reports: Unfortunately, the number of people holding a significant amount of the assets of various nations is steadily shrinking and obviously the supposedly public debt is placed on the shoulders of the everyday people who cant hide away their riches in foreign banks. One of the most troubling conclusions we find in this report is that the massive amount of money held in jurisdictions outside of the reach of various tax agencies indicates that the actual gap between the rich and poor around the world is in fact much larger than previously believed. As evidence of this, Henry calculated that around $9.84 trillion is in the hands of a mere 92,000 individuals. In other words, 0.001% of the population holds more than the yearly GDP of every country except the EU and the US. These estimates reveal a staggering failure: inequality is much, much worse than official statistics show, but politicians are still relying on trickle-down to transfer wealth to poorer people, said John Christensen of the Tax Justice Network. People on the street have no illusions about how unfair the situation has become, Christensen added. The very existence of the global offshore industry, and the tax-free status of the enormous sums invested by their wealthy clients, is predicated on secrecy, explained Henry. Indeed, if it was not for the secrecy which has never been questioned even after leaders of G20 nations claimed they would crack down on such activities there wouldnt be such a thing as offshore tax havens. Unfortunately they are real and they are constantly being used by the ultra-wealthy to avoid the same taxes everyone who is too poor to remove their money from the country is forced to pay. Brendan Barber, the General Secretary of Trades Union Congress said, Countries around the world are under intense pressure to reduce their deficits and governments cannot afford to let so much wealth slip past into tax havens. Closing down the tax loopholes exploited by multinationals and the super-rich to avoid paying their fair share will reduce the deficit, Barber added. This way the government can focus on stimulating the economy, rather than squeezing the life out of it with cuts and tax rises for the 99% of people who arent rich enough to avoid paying their taxes. If nations were to go after these funds, the Guardian posits that huge sums of money would become available. Assuming the 13tn mountain of assets earned an average 3% a year for its owners, and governments were able to tax that income at 30%, it would generate a bumper 121bn in revenues more than rich countries spend on aid to the developing world each year, they write. Indeed, this would offset the national deficits of so many countries considerably and create a great deal more money for much-needed causes. Yet I seriously doubt this will ever happen, as the people making egregious use of these tax havens are the same ones bankrolling the political campaigns. Thus, it is hard to imagine any smart politician who is going to risk his or her political future going after the ultra-rich class of the worlds wealthiest figures in the name of a couple votes. Sure, they might spew some rhetoric; but when it comes down to it, they know who pays for the primetime television advertisements. Did I forget anything or miss any errors?

1	A picture of Stacy, Kerri and Jill taken at Matt and Steve's recent back-to-school party came out great Tuesday, with some even calling it 'amazing.' Though they have taken hundreds of pictures together, Stacy, Kerri and Jill believe this photo is 'totally the best.' The glossy, 3x5 picture, taken by Jeff using Kerri's camera, is widely regarded as the best on the entire 24-shot roll. At least four people have already requested doubles. Walgreens employee Aimee Hartley, who developed the picture in the store's state-of-the-art Kodacolor Lab, was immediately impressed with the shot. 'When I first saw the picture, I was blown away,' Hartley said. 'We get a lot of party pictures here, but this one is truly something special.' According to experts, what makes this picture so special is that its three subjects are total best friends. 'Stacy, Kerri and Jill are what is commonly known as 'complete best buds,'' University of Illinois history professor J. Walter Tillinghast said. 'They do everything together: They rushed Alpha Chi Omega together, they eat meals and attend football games togethereverything. Recently, the three even bought identical school sweatshirts.' National Archives photo historian Timothy Gruen offered a different explanation for the greatness of the picture. 'Jill was in New York all summer, so neither Stacy nor Kerri had seen her since May,' Gruen said. 'No doubt this contributed to the tremendous look of excitement on their faces.' The roll of film was picked up by Kerri late Tuesday afternoon after a long, frustrating delay. 'They said the pictures would be ready yesterday at around 3. So I go in [to Walgreens] at like 4 o'clock and they still weren't ready,' Kerri explained. 'They said to try back in like an hour, but I had class, so I had to come back today. I was so pissed!' Kerri noted that when she finally did pick up the pictures, she 'was like, finally!' Despite the picture's widely recognized greatness, not everyone is pleased with it. 'Ew, I look gross,' said Jill upon seeing it for the first time. 'I'm all sweaty, and my eyes are half-closed. You guys (Stacy and Kerri) look amazing, though.' Stacy strongly disagreed with Jill's assessment of the picture. 'Jill looks amazing,' she said. 'I look gross.' While Kerri has promised to make copies of the photo for a number of her friends, many observers are skeptical. 'When a picture comes out great, doubles are very often promised,' said Hal Wallace, director of Tufts University's Institute For Media Studies. 'Very rarely, however, are those copies ever actually delivered.' Nevertheless, Kerri has made it clear that she is committed to following through on her promise to make copies. On Wednesday, Stephanie, a friend of the three, said to Kerri, 'You have to make me a copy,' to which Kerri responded, 'Definitely!' As for the future of the photo, Tillinghast predicted it will go in a photo album with other standouts from the past. 'Kerri has an album of college memories into which this would fit perfectly,' he said. 'The album contains many great pictures of the three going all the way back to freshman orientation, including one from that time last fall when Jill and Stacy arrived intoxicated at Kerri's dormitory room at three in the morning with pizza sauce smeared on their cheeks. That was hilarious.' While the photo is clearly the standout of the roll, there are a number of other great shots. Among them is one of Chad Webber, who friends said 'totally never drinks,' doing a beer bong. 'That was so hysterical,' Jill said. 'He did, like, the whole thing!' Other noteworthy shots include one of Steve and Jessica, moments before 'hooking up,' and one of Ryan vomiting all over Matt and Steve's carpet. For all the accolades the picture has brought Stacy, Kerri and Jill, the three are not resting on their laurels: Should the opportunity arise, they said they would not hesitate to pose together again. 'Josh and Aaron are having a huge party Saturday night after the game,' Stacy said. 'I am definitely bringing my camera.' 
2	St. Louis Police Have Special Request For FergusonSeveral players on the St. Louis Rams sparked immense controversy when they entered the field this past Sunday in a hands up dont shoot pose, demonstrating their support for Ferguson protesters. Now, the St. Louis Police Officers Association is demanding an apology. The action took place just one week after a grand jury made the decision that it did not have the evidence required to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown. According to a spokesperson for the St. Louis Rams, officials and teammates were unaware that some players were planning on demonstrating. According to reports, Jeff Roorda of the St. Louis Police Officers Association released a statement demanding an apology. A portion of the letter is included below: The St. Louis Police Officers Association is profoundly disappointed with the members of the St. Louis Rams football team who chose to ignore the mountains of evidence released from the St. Louis County Grand Jury this week and engage in a display that police officers around the nation found tasteless, offensive and inflammatory. Now that the evidence is in and Officer Wilsons account has been verified by physical and ballistic evidence as well as eye-witness testimony, which led the grand jury to conclude that no probable cause existed that Wilson engaged in any wrongdoing, it is unthinkable that hometown athletes would so publicly perpetuate a narrative that has been disproven over-and-over again. Id remind the NFL and their players that it is not the violent thugs burning down buildings that buy their advertisers products. Its cops and the good people of St. Louis and other NFL towns that do. Somebody needs to throw a flag on this play. If its not the NFL and the Rams, then itll be cops and their supporters. What do you think? Do you find the players actions offensive? Should they be punished for their actions?

2	Information Just Leaked That Exposes Obamas Plan To Assassinate Putin [VIDEO] This week, the former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy in the Regan administration shocked reporters with claims that Vladimir Putin is at risk of being assassinated by the CIA. I think Putin is in substantial danger of assassination, Paul Craig Roberts claimed. I hope he stops walking around the streets unprotected. Tensions between the administration and the Russian leader are at an all-time high, as Putin continues to upstage Obama in the fight against ISIS. Roberts believes that the assassins could come either from the CIA directly, or from a rogue group. While the claims seem far-fetched, they are not necessarily out of the question. Last summer, a former CIA agent proposed that Putin be assassinated if he stood in the way of Obamas agenda. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Are you happy that Russia is taking action against terrorism?

1	This week, the selfnews News Network looks back at the political career of Dave Tillis, the nation's first openly drunk senator. The following is a transcript of Senator Tillis' speech to his supporters upon winning the historic election: You did it! Woo! You did it! I mean, I did it! Everyone, we all did it and now I'm a senator! Oh my God, you guys. I'm an actual senator. What? This is happening! But seriously, you guys, I did, I prepared a thing, I wrote it down, a speech. But now I don't know. I had it here in my... whatsit. Did someone take it? Does anyone have the speech? Aah, doesn't matter. You guys, here's what I wanted to say, so I'll just say it: being the senator isn't just for me. Okay? It's for all of us. You and you and you and you and... hello there. Do I know you from somewhere? I feel like weve met. Okay, anyway. Where was I? What? Oh, yeah! Me being elected is for all of us. Because it's 'we the people' you know? It's the people's democracy, the people's court, it's the people. So even though I'm the senator now, really, you're the senator and we're all the senator. But, okay okay, I admit it, its more me and I don't take that lightly, you know? I'm gonna uphold the best that I can, I really mean that. I'm not going to mess this up. I've messed up a lot of other things, but this is important and I'm not going to mess this up. Because I care about it. I really, I really care, you guys. And I might... Okay, I know I'm crying, but it's just because I'm emotional sometimes. And this means a lot to me and I just, it's like, 'thank you' doesn't even start to say what I mean. It's like, I love you all so much and there's pain in this world, there is, but there's more love. Theres so much love in the world. Aah, fuck it. Let's just fucking celebrate! I did it!! 
2	Heres The Final Proof Keith Lamont Scott Was Holding A Gun Not A Book According to reports, new body footage has been released by police officers, showing Keith Lamont Scott with an ankle holster, clearly holding a weapon. Following the shooting of Scott, the nation erupted in yet another wave of protests. Black Lives Matter rioters were quick to take to the streets, talking once again about police violence. This footage is extraordinarily important, because it backs up what police say happened regarding the incident. Authorities have maintained that they asked Scott more than a dozen times to drop the gun before opening fire. Watch as media analyst Mark Dice breaks down the incident move by move.

2	Governor Pays The Price For Bringing In Muslim Refugees According to recent reports, South Carolina governor Nikki Haley has just given a public endorsement of presidential hopeful Marco Rubio. This is not far-fetched, given that Haley has opened her states borders to countless refugees and immigrantstwo issues that Rubio is notoriously soft on. Now a group of South Carolinas citizens have banded together to sue Haley and several refugee organizations for putting residents at risk. The lawsuit targets the State Department of Social Services as well as two church-based organizations that help the government transplant refugees. According to WND, the suit seeks to halt all resettlement of refugees in South Carolina until a full accounting of any and all federal money used in this program and specifically where it was allocated and how allocated (and) in which counties. What do you think? Are the true conservative candidates better off without Haleys vote? 
2	Muslim Refugee Bashes Head Of Christian Man According to recent reports, three Muslim immigrants living in Portland, Maine were arrested for brutally beating a Christian man to death. The Somali-Americans, Mohamud Mohamed, 36, Osman Sheikh, 31, and Abil Teshome, 23, are believed to have beat and murdered 49-year-old Christian man Freddy Akoa. The attack reportedly took place over several hours, during which Akoa sustained cuts, bruises, a lacerated liver and 22 rib fractures before ultimately collapsing to the floor, dead. Akoa was later found on his living room floor, lying next to his Bible, which was covered in blood. Authorities are yet to comment on how and why the incident took place, or whether it was religion-based. But given the state of affairs in the country and world at the moment, I think we can safely assume that the attack was most definitely driven by Islam. What do you think? Is the war on Christians in this country something we can no longer ignore? 
3	Portion Sizes in Restaurants Quadruple Since 1950sMike Barrett Given the continuous downfall of the average American diet over the decades, it is no surprise to see obesity rates (and subsequently every other illness and disease) skyrocket in recent years. Are Americans consuming too many calories? Unfortunately, yes. Whats more, the massive increase isnt only leading individuals to experience health problems, but work productivity suffers as well. Obese individuals take more sick days and are less productive than health-weight individuals, with the most obese people taking 5-9 more sick days a year. The good news is that with a little calorie management, exercise, and organic living, obesity rates can easily begin to spiral downward.

3	New Algorithm Will Hunt You Down In Untagged PhotosUses metadata instead of facial recognition. A new algorithm designed at the University of Toronto has the power to profoundly change the way we find photos among the billions on social media sites such as Facebook and Flickr. This month, the United States Patent and Trademark Office will issue a patent on this technology. Developed by Parham Aarabi, a professor in The Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical Computer Engineering, and his former Masters student Ron Appel, the search tool uses tag locations to quantify relationships between individuals, even those not tagged in any given photo. Imagine you and your mother are pictured together, building a sandcastle at the beach. Youre both tagged in the photo quite close together. In the next photo, you and your father are eating watermelon. Youre both tagged. Because of your close tagging relationship with both your mother in the first picture and your father in the second, the algorithm can determine that a relationship exists between those two and quantify how strong it may be. In a third photo, you fly a kite with both parents, but only your mother is tagged. Given the strength of your tagging relationship with your parents, when you search for photos of your father the algorithm can return the untagged photo because of the very high likelihood hes pictured. Two things are happening: we understand relationships, and we can search images better, says Professor Aarabi. If you want to search a trillion photos, normally that takes at least a trillion operations. Its based on the number of photos you have, says Aarabi. Facebook has almost half a trillion photos, but a billion usersits almost a 500 order of magnitude difference. Our algorithm is simply based on the number of tags, not on the number of photos, which makes it more efficient to search than standard approaches. Work on this project began in 2005 in Professor Aarabis Mobile Applications Lab, Canadas first lab space for mobile application development. Currently the algorithms interface is primarily for research, but Aarabi aims to see it incorporated on the back-end of large image databases or social networks. I envision the interface would be exactly like you use Facebook searchfor users, nothing would change. They would just get better results, says Aarabi. While testing the algorithm, Aarabi and Appel discovered an unforeseen application: a new way to generate maps. They tagged a few photographs of buildings around the University of Toronto and ran them through the system with a bunch of untagged campus photos. The result we got was of almost a pseudo-map of the campus from all these photos we had taken, which was very interesting, says Aarabi.

3	10 Predictions For 2014selfnews Post Without question, 2013 was not the best year for freedom, economic prosperity or peace. The police state has gotten more militarized, intrusive and violent. More laws against protesting and press freedoms infested the Western world. More money was funneled from the poor to the rich. And more war was waged with a careless joystick trigger finger. It is often difficult to see the bright side amid such a maelstrom of injustice, until one realizes that the greater the oppression grows, the closer we are to reversing the trend. 2013 also gave us many reasons to be optimistic about the future for peace, love, and liberty. In 2013, we witnessed a global uprising to halt unprovoked military action in Syria. The powers-that-be demanded war and the people said no. For those keeping track, its the first time in history that thats ever happened on a global scale. Also in 2013, we saw the rise of a global peer-to-peer barter economy and Bitcoin, which level the economic playing field much like the Internet did for information dissemination. The media this year was clearly dominated by the independent media with the help of whistleblowers like Edward Snowden. In dictatorial fashion the US government blocked millions of computers from viewing NSA abuse articles and it was still by far the biggest story of the year. Theres tremendous momentum for the alternative media going into 2014. Finally, the militarized police state is being opposed just as fast as it is being built. Its unjustified presence is accelerating the support for ending the war on drugs and calling into question the role of police in society, as well as the need for further runaway prison expansion. We have nearly reached the zenith of the ability for the few to control the many. This is evidenced by their great desperation manifesting in overtly insane and despotic behavior. 2014 will be pivotal. But this is mostly cause for optimism. The victories we have experienced in previous years by pressuring the ruling elite out into the open for all to see is irreversible. Nearly all establishment institutions are now held in wide disregard and condemnation for their corruption, dishonesty, manipulation, ineptitude, and subversion of universal human rights. 2014 very well could mark the critical battle between the dinosaur system of the feudal elite milking the commoners, and the evolution of a new open-source, peer-to-peer model of prosperity that trusts the power of individual creativity, reputation, and planet-wide cooperation toward solutions that begin from the bottom up. The pyramid of power has been wobbled by pressure from the bottom in 2013. We believe that 2014 is the year when that structure begins to fall. Here are 10 predictions for 2014: 1. Obamacare Nightmare.The implementation and enforcement of Obamacare will be a catastrophic failure in 2014. It will lead to a political awakening on the Left who in large numbers will lose faith in the ruling class to solve this and other problems. Some will attempt to offer a solution of a single-payer option like Medicare for all, which will seem to temporarily calm the storm. That is until everyone realizes theyll be required by law to accept mandated treatments and untreatments (death panels). We must, as individuals, become healthier in order to weather the coming healthcare storm. 2. Growth of Independent Media.2013 saw record traffic to independent media outlets. Also, big names like Ben Swann and Amber Lyon became independents. David Ickes non-profit, uncensored media project The Peoples Voice raised over $400K in crowdfunding and launched in 2013. Glenn Greenwald and Jeremy Scahill announced plans for a new media platform in 2014. Are these biased, activist reporters? Yes, and thank goodness. The very fact that there is a growing market for peace and liberty information is a bellwether for where were heading as a society. 3. Wide Adoption of Cryptocurrencies.The wild volatility of Bitcoin and its competing cryptocurrencies has overshadowed the ideological and technological revolution that has been unleashed. While many have focused merely on the monetary value of Bitcoin, we predict that a new wave of understanding will mark the wide adoption and perhaps the stabilization of the cryptocurrency economy. Central banks have been exposed all across the planet for the thieves they are. People are realizing who the true enemy really is, and they are beginning to feel empowered by the ability to disrupt that predatory system. All they needed was a choice to opt out, and now they have it. 4. The Awakened Take Action.It seems like the whole world is in a state of civil unrest. It is precisely what arch-globalist Zbigniew Brzezinski warned his cohorts of. People are tired of talking and they have lost too much. Violated, hungry people have nothing to lose by directly confronting their oppressors. This does not have to mean physical violence, but it does mean physical demonstrations of power and a refusal to remain quiet. We also believe that people will become clearer about making specific demands, rather than merely being satisfied to show their outrage. 5. More Whistleblowers Come Forward. 2013 may very well go down as the year of the whistleblower; Edward Snowden being the most prominent among them. As more people view Snowden as a hero for giving a face and voice to the human right to privacy, we expect more whistleblowers to put their lives on the line to expose hidden truths. Consequently, we will shift closer to more transparency for the top and more privacy for citizens; the way a free society is supposed to function. 6. Expansion of Open-Source Technology. 2013 was an incredible year in the area of 3D printing. We saw the rise and subsequent stifling of 3D printed weapons, but the technology is still out there and is increasingly open and falling in cost. Inventors are launching open-source vehicles, alternative energy generators, and so much more. 2014 will be a truly breakout year for 3D printing especially, as well as open-source technologies for everything from farming to governance. 7. Manufactured Tension With China. We have heard the rhetoric of wars, economic and military, with China beginning to escalate toward the end of 2013. We happen to believe that an outright war with China is very unlikely.China is part of thevery same centralized control system as the West. In other words, Coca Cola who just invested $4 billion in China doesnt want to lose that market and vice versa, so there will be no war. Therefore any aggression with China should be viewed as complete theater to maintain control of domestic populations on both sides. Rather, we will probably continue to see a series of calculated economic moves on both sides that tip the balance of super power away from America and toward China. Nothing new here. 8. Economic Crisis.Some form of great economic crisis is probable in 2014. Perhaps it will be many small dominoes that lead to something bigger, but it will no doubt manifest as centralized theft and more controls. The kickoff could be the Feds tapering of quantitative easing which could crush the momentum in stock markets around the world. Or it could be the next battle to raise the US debt ceiling in February. As mentioned above, it could be an extension of moves already made by China. Whatever the trigger, expect and plan accordingly for more bank bailouts and bailins, higher food and energy prices, less jobs and more capital controls, all while fiat currencies continue their steady or abrupt decline, and gold coins continue to rise in value. 9. Attempted Crackdown on Internet Freedom. Warnings of imminent cyber attack and other infrastructure weakness herald an attempt at a full-scale military takeover of the Internet. However, such an extreme measure is probably unlikely in the short term. More likely, what will come first is an extension of the attempt to criminalize whistleblowers, as well as imposing Dianne Feinsteins suggestion that there be government-approved journalists. Coupled with the severe penalties for copyright infringement and other methods of backdoor censorship contained in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and 2014 could see a new level of information warfare. 10. False Flag Watch.As alluded to above, warnings of imminent cyber attacks or a so-called Pearl Harbor for the Internet have been broadcast by US security officials for some time. In our opinion, an attack on the Internet is the most probable false flag event for 2014. If it happens, it wont be long before world leaders demand ending online anonymity. Also, small, FBI-orchestrated bombers and shooters may make an appearance as well, but it worked so poorly for them in 2013 to move policy that we think therell be less of those types of false flags in 2014. Finally, the biggest false flag could be whatever economic crisis manifests in 2014 (see #8). At minimum, expect desperate manipulation by Wall Street and Central Banks. As fragile and interconnected as things are, one spark can set off the powder keg. Many of these predictions might seem like wishful thinking, but to admit that we are powerless to affect change is only to embrace our own destruction. We have enough evidence of that already. And to ignore our victories, no matter how small, is to consign ourselves to fear, defeatism and worthlessness. We would do well to identify positive developments and trends, shifting our focus to the areas we can improve upon, while having the courage to ignore the increasingly irrelevant concept of power coming only from the top. The elite mindset and the top-down philosophy will never disappear entirely, but it is up to us to build something better and render that outdated form of control powerless. We would like to wish everyone a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. Thank you for your support and dedication in 2013. Please feel free to leave your own predictions and solutions for 2014 in the Comments. 
2	Judge Jeanine Pirro To Replace Megyn Kelly On Fox News It has been a challenging year for Megyn Kelly. She has quickly lost the support of Fox News fans in her many desperate attempts to appeal to the mainstream media. Her troubles began when she targeted Donald Trump during the Republican presidential debates. She has spent the majority of her air time since then trying to derail his campaign, but her efforts clearly failed. Now, rumors are circulating that Fox News plans to fire Kelly and replace her with Judge Jeanine Pirro. The network is not willing to let her ratings drop further than they already have, especially after her recent altercation with New Gingrich. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is Fox News making the right move in getting rid of Fox? 
1	Overturning a law that has been in place for 24 years, Congress approved a temporary repeal of the Minimum Drinking Age Act Wednesday upon learning that Benjamin Harrison High School student Jenny Larsen is celebrating her 17th birthday with an unsupervised party at which attendees are expecting to consume alcohol. H.R. 874, more commonly known as the Jenny's Turning 17!!! Bill, will go into effect Friday, Sept. 19, 2008, as soon as Jenny's parents leave for their weekend trip to Vermont. Until the bill expires on Sunday afternoon, it will be legal for any American aged 17 or olderor 16 if they have a birthday coming upto consume alcohol within the confines of 128 Longfellow Rd. 'Our system of laws is not inflexible, and at times it is necessary to make adjustments to our federal statutes to more adequately serve the interests of the American people,' Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said. 'It is therefore the Senate's opinion that Jenny only turns 17 once, and that she deserves to have a party that is both totally awesome and permitted under United States statutory law.' 'Furthermore, Brad is going to be there, and it is our understanding that Jenny really, really likes Brad,' Sen. Reid added. Reid went on to defend a number of the bill's addenda, including a provision authorizing Paul Woodard, 17, to pick up the keg, and $25.74 in federal funding to purchase a bottle of Jenny's favorite alcoholic beverage, vanilla Absolut. Congress also approved a special task force to distribute plastic red cups to attendees at the door. A proposed rider by Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) to secure invites for himself and two of his friends was defeated in committee. 'Although some will question the constitutionality of this law, there is nothing in the Constitution that forbids the United States government from saving what everyone agrees would otherwise be a totally lame party by ensuring the abundantand legalpresence of alcohol,' Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said. 'Especially taking into consideration the fact that everyone is going to be there. Everyone.' According to Schumer, the bill contains clear wording that will keep the party from getting 'out of hand.' Section 211 of the legislation, titled 'Regulations,' states that '(a) those who imbibe an excess of alcohol will be required by law to stay overnight, so as not to drive, and to offer assistance in collecting the empty beer cans and mopping the kitchen floor the next morning, (b) Jenny's parents' bedroom is strictly off-limits, and entrance therein will result in up to 30 years in federal prison, and (c) the carrying out of activities deemed 'stupid' is prohibited, viz. climbing up onto the roof, falling off the roof, etc.' There is also a proviso that prevents Trish from getting wasted on rum again and trying to make out with Andy. The House has earmarked $54 million in case someone breaks Jenny's mother's vase and it needs to be replaced by the next morning. Although the bill was passed by a wide margin in both the House and Senate, it has received criticism from some members of Congress, who call the law 'favoritist' and 'totally unfair.' Those in opposition claim that it is too dangerous to allow minors to consume alcohol in an unsupervised setting; that they were not allowed to drink until they turned 21 and the same should hold true for everyone else; and that the only reason the bill passed is because Jenny is friends with Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT). Most legislators, however, voiced their full support of the bill. 'These children are quite popular, and they should be treated as such in the eyes of the law,' Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) said. 'Plus, they're going to drink anyway, so we might as well make it legal.' 'Come on!' Boxer added. 'It's Jenny's B-day!' President Bush officially signed the Jenny's Turning 17!!! Bill into law Wednesday, making it the first self-expiring law to be passed in the U.S. since the Controlled Substances Waiver For Theaters Showing Pink Floyd's The Wall Act of 1982. 
1	According to city planners, Chicago has run out of new names for its subdivisions. 'It was bound to happen sooner or later,' Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley said at a Monday press conference in front of City Hall. 'Oak Dale Springs, Whispering Pines, Stonewood Creek... We have used every tree, body of water, and living thing in the almanac. You don't have to drive all the way out to Kevin Acres to know we need a new naming system.' Daley announced that, beginning in 2004, all new housing developments in the Chicago area will be numbered with a positive integer. 
3	The Taper Is On 8 Ways That This Is Going To Affect You And Your FamilyMichael Snyder The Federal Reserve will still be recklessly creating gigantic mountains of new money out of thin air and massively intervening in the financial marketplace. It will just be slightly less than before. However, this very well could represent a very important psychological turning point for investors. It is a signal that the party is starting to end and that the great bull market of the past four years is drawing to a close. So what is all of this going to mean for average Americans? The following are 8 ways that the taper is going to affect you and your family Following the announcement on Wednesday, the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries went up to 2.89% and even CNBC admitted that the taper is a bad omen for bonds. Thousands of other interest rates in our economy are directly affected by the 10-year rate, and so if that number climbs above 3 percent and stays there, that is going to be a sign that a significant slowdown of economic activity is ahead. Mortgage rates are heavily influenced by the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries. Because the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries is now substantially higher than it was earlier this year, mortgage rates have also gone up. That is one of the reasons why the number of mortgage applications just hit a new 13-year low. And now if rates go even higher that is going to tighten things up even more. If your job is related to the housing industry in any way, you should be extremely concerned about what is coming in 2014. 3. Your Stocks Are Going To Go Down Yes, I know that stocks skyrocketed today. The Dow closed at a new all-time record high, and I cant really provide any rational explanation for why that happened. When the announcement was originally made, stocks initially sold off. But then they rebounded in a huge way and the Dow ended close to 300 points up. A few months ago, when Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke just hinted that a taper might be coming soon, stocks fell like a rock. I have a feeling that the Fed orchestrated things this time around to make sure that the stock market would have a positive reaction to their news. But of course I absolutely cannot prove this at all. I hope someday we learn the truth about what actually happened on Wednesday afternoon. I have a feeling that there was some direct intervention in the markets shortly after the announcement was made and then the momentum algorithms took over from there. In any event, what we do know is that when QE1 ended stocks fell dramatically and the same thing happened when QE2 ended. If you doubt this, just check out this chart. Of course QE3 is not being ended, but this tapering sends a signal to investors that the days of easy money are over and that we have reached the peak of the market. And if you are at the peak of the market, what is the logical thing to do? Sell, sell, sell. But in order to sell, you are going to need to have buyers. And who is going to want to buy stocks when there is no upside left? 4. The Money In Your Bank Account Is Constantly Being Devalued When a new dollar is created, the value of each existing dollar that you hold goes down. And thanks to the Federal Reserve, the pace of money creation in this country has gone exponential in recent years. Just check out what has been happening to M1. It has nearly doubled since the financial crisis of 2008 And for those that insist that what the Federal Reserve is doing is working, it is important to remember that the crazy money printing that the Weimar Republic did worked for them for a little while too before ending in complete and utter disaster. 5. Quantitative Easing Has Been Causing The Cost Of Living To Rise The Federal Reserve insists that we are in a time of low inflation, but anyone that goes to the grocery store or that pays bills on a regular basis knows what a lie that is. The truth is that if the inflation rate was still calculated the same way that it was back when Jimmy Carter was president, the official rate of inflation would be somewhere between 8 and 10 percent today. Most of the new money created by quantitative easing has ended up in the hands of the very wealthy, and it is in the things that the very wealthy buy that we are seeing the most inflation. As one CNBC article recently stated, we are seeing absolutely rampant inflation in stocks and bonds and art and Ferraris and farmland. 6. Quantitative Easing Did Not Reduce Unemployment And Tapering Wont Either The Federal Reserve actually first began engaging in quantitative easing back in late 2008. As you can see from the chart below, the percentage of Americans that are actually working is lower today than it was back then 7. The Rest Of The World Is Going To Continue To Lose Faith In Our Financial System Everyone else around the world has been watching the Federal Reserve recklessly create hundreds of billions of dollars out of thin air and use it to monetize staggering amounts of government debt. They have been warning us to stop doing this, but the Fed has been slow to listen. The greatest damage that quantitative easing has been causing to our economy does not involve the short-term effects that most people focus on. Rather, the greatest damage that quantitative easing has been causing to our economy is the fact that it is destroying worldwide faith in the U.S. dollar and in U.S. debt. Right now, far more U.S. dollars are used outside the country than inside the country. The rest of the world uses U.S. dollars to trade with one another, and major exporting nations stockpile massive amounts of our dollars and our debt. We desperately need the rest of the world to keep playing our game, because we have become very dependent on getting super cheap exports from them and we have become very dependent on them lending us trillions of our own dollars back to us. If the rest of the world decides to move away from the U.S. dollar and U.S. debt because of the incredibly reckless behavior of the Federal Reserve, we are going to be in a massive amount of trouble. Our current economic prosperity greatly depends upon everyone else using our dollars as the reserve currency of the world and lending trillions of dollars back to us at ultra-low interest rates. And there are signs that this is already starting to happen. In fact, China recently announced that they are going to quit stockpiling more U.S. dollars. This is one of the reasons why the Fed felt forced to do something on Wednesday. But what the Fed did was not nearly enough. It is still going to be creating $75 billion out of thin air every single month, and the rest of the world is going to continue to lose more faith in our system the longer this continues. 8. The Economy As A Whole Is Going To Continue To Get Even Worse Despite more than four years of unprecedented money printing by the Federal Reserve, the overall U.S. economy has continued to decline. If you doubt this, please see my previous article entitled 37 Reasons Why The Economic Recovery Of 2013 Is A Giant Lie. And no matter what the Fed does now, our decline will continue. The tragic downfall of small cities such as Salisbury, North Carolina are perfect examples of what is happening to our country as a whole During the three-year period ending in 2009, Salisburys poverty rate of 16% was about 3% higher than the national rate. In the following three-year period between 2010 and 2012, the citys poverty rate was approaching 30%. Salisbury has traditionally relied heavily on the manufacturing sector, particularly textiles and fabrics. In recent decades, however, manufacturingactivityhas declined significantly and continues to do so. Between 2010 and 2012, manufacturing jobs in Salisbury as a percent of the workforce shrank from 15.5% to 8.3%. But the truth is that you dont have to travel far to see evidence of our economic demise for yourself. All you have to do is to go down to the local shopping mall. Sears has experienced sales declines for 27 quarters in a row, and at this point Sears is a dead man walking. The following is from a recent article by Wolf Richter The market share of Sears including K-Mart has dropped to 2% in 2013 from 2.9% in 2005. Sales have declined for years. The company lost money in fiscal 2012 and 2013. Unless a miracle happens, and they dont happen very often in retail, it will lose a ton in fiscal 2014, ending in January: for the first three quarters, its $1 billion in the hole. Despite that glorious track record, and no discernible turnaround, the junk-rated company has had no trouble hoodwinking lenders into handing it a $1 billion loan that matures in 2018, to pay off an older loan that would have matured two years earlier. And J.C. Penney is suffering a similar fate. According to Richter, the company has lost a staggering 1.6 billion dollars over the course of the last year Then theres J.C. Penney. Sales plunged 27% over the last three years. It lost over $1.6 billion over the last four quarters. It installed a revolving door for CEOs. It desperately needed to raise capital; it was bleeding cash, and its suppliers and landlords had already bitten their fingernails to the quick. So the latest new CEO, namely its former old CEO Myron Ullman, set out to extract more money from the system, borrowing $1.75 billion and raising $785 million in a stock sale at the end of September that became infamous the day he pulled it off. So dont believe the hype. The economy is getting worse, not better. Quantitative easing did not rescue the economy, but it sure has made our long-term problems a whole lot worse. And this tapering is not a sign of better things to come. Rather, it is a sign that the bubble of false prosperity that we have been enjoying for the past few years is beginning to end.

1	According to a report released Monday by Cornell University's College Of Food Science, America is ready for a third brand of ketchup. 'Our research indicates that, after nearly 50 years as a two-brand nation, the U.S. has reached a state of what we call 'Brand-Three Preparedness,'' head researcher Dr. Diane Albrecht said. 'It remains to be seen what this brand is and how its taste will differ from that of Heinz and Hunt's, but the groundwork has been laid.' Albrecht added that, to go along with the third brand, the popular condiment may introduce a third spelling of its name, with leading contenders believed to be 'ketsup,' 'catchup,' and katzhup.' 
1	According to a Department of Agriculture study released Friday, the vast majority of U.S. farmers have recently finished squinting off into the horizon and are, at present, woefully kicking at the dirt. Based on our research, we can confirm that 68 percent of American farmers are currently removing their hats and wiping the sweat from their brow with the back of their arm, with an additional 26 percent coughing into a threadbare handkerchief, the report read in part, noting that if they had not done so already, most farmers in the U.S. would soon spit on the ground beside them before staring up at the clouds and reckoning the possibility of rain. The data indicate that while American farmers may or may not be chewing on a single length of wheat, nearly all of them are at this time squatting down to inspect a dried, shriveled beanstalk. The study concluded that 100 percent of American farmers would, within moments, lazily shake their heads and lament that things just aint what they used to be. 
1	Calling themselves 'insulting caricatures born of bigotry' and 'demeaning portrayals bearing no resemblance to actual human beings or cultures,' an estimated 400,000 so-called jigaboos, pickaninnies and darky po' boys representing racist statuary from across the U.S. marched on Washington Monday. Some of the 400,000 racist figurines that came to Washington from lawns and antique stores across the U.S. to protest their own existence. Decrying their own existence, the figurines demanded that legislators acknowledge them as 'the unwanted remnants of a bygone and hateful era' and take immediate steps toward abolishing racially stereotyped imagery like themselves. 'Look at me,' Uncle Ben, a desexualized, rice-peddling 'Good Slave' archetype, told fellow rallygoers. 'I'm nothing like a real person. Look at my coveralls, my smiling, bug-eyed expression of passivity and subjugation. Clearly, I never should have outlasted the antebellum era, yet I'm still a widely recognized pop-cultural icon. I'm so angry I could boil in just five to ten minutes.' Ben and his female counterpart Aunt Jemima, a genial, syrup-filled 'Matron Servant' archetype, led the crowd in chanting slogans such as 'Jockey No More' and 'Hold Your Own Pony!' Jemima encouraged the crowd to resist caricatured representation of African Americans by hurling themselves from shelves and by falling over on lawns and golf courses. 'We came all the way from a kitchen cabinet in Valdosta, GA,' said one pair of grinning, apron-wearing salt-and-pepper shakers. 'Never again will we add zesty flavor to soups and meals for The Man.' Another protester, a straw-hatted, gap-toothed, barefoot fisherman commonly used as lawn ornamentation in rural areas, was removed by police after damaging a public birdbath. Led away by authorities amidst the cheers of supportive marchers, the statue told reporters he will go on a hunger strike until he and all images like him are smashed into tiny pieces of ceramic debris. The march began at the Washington Monument and concluded a short distance later at the U.S. Capitol. Featured speakers at the event included not only statuary but other forms of racist iconography as well, including characters from the once-popular children's book Little Black Sambo and several maidservants from Gone With The Wind. In a moving gesture of solidarity, Hollywood detective hero Charlie Chan and his so-called 'hon'able numba' wan son,' as well as cartoon mouse Speedy Gonzales, spoke on behalf of other racially and culturally stereotyped media constructs. Also in attendance at the rally were famed Mark Twain character Nigger Jim and folk-tale trickster Br'er Rabbit, both of whom cautioned protesters about the difficulties posed by archetypes that, on the surface, appear to be racist but may simultaneously function as an anti-racist critique. Said Jim: 'In the hundred-some years since my creation, critical reappraisals have affirmed me as an enduring symbol of Twain's abolitionist sympathies. Yet these same appraisals acknowledge that my exaggerated, overly stereotypical manner of speaking is at least somewhat problematic.' The presence of Br'er Rabbita traditional African folk character brought to America by slaves but later distorted by a white journalist in the 'Africanist' reductivism of 'Uncle Remus'angered many rallygoers. He was eventually removed by a team of socio-political literary analysts from Howard University. The controversial rabbit later escaped by convincing his captors to throw him into a briar patch, and his current whereabouts are unknown. The non-violent march, which D.C. police officials praised as the most orderly and well-run protest in recent memory, ended at sunset with a candlelight vigil and ceremonial bonfire of the march's many wooden participants. 
3	The State is a Parasite on SocietyPaul Joseph Watson 
1	In an effort to arrive at an impartial assessment of this years field, area man Kurt Holden told reporters Thursday that he would postpone any judgments on the best actress Oscar nominees until he looked at all five pictures. Ive always liked Julianne Moore, and I think shes fantastic in this particular picture, but to be fair I need to take the time for an in-depth viewing of each of these actresses pictures, said Holden, who confirmed that he has only seen pictures of two of this years nominated actresses, but planned to explore the nuances and subtleties of the entire field before reaching a verdict. I held off until the Academy revealed its choices, but now Im actually kind of interested in checking out the Marion Cotillard picture. Who knows? I might even look at Felicity Jones picture two or three times. At press time, Holden had rejected Reese Witherspoon as his selection for best actress, noting that he was bored of her picture after the first few minutes. 
2	Muslim Leader: Muslims Have The Right To Kill Any NonIn recent footage that has now gone viral, a self-proclaimed moderate Muslim cleric gives some insight into the true nature of Islam in an interview that appeared on a Norwegian TV show. When asked about his religion, the Islamic leader is brutally honest about what Islam really teaches about non-Muslims. For someone who burns the Koran, the punishment, according to Islam, is death, is that correct? the host of the show asks. If you burn the Koran, which is an insult, then the answer is clearly yes, the man, Mullah Krekar, answered. I know absolutely that he has committed a criminal offense where the punishment is death, he continued. The responsibility for carrying out the punishment is on the Ummah, our Muslim brotherhood. What do you think of this interview? Does this speak volumes about the religion Obama is deeming a religion of peace? 
2	Melania Trump Humiliates Michelle Obama, Proves Instantly She Will Be A Better First Lady The nation was outraged when a fashion designer who has worked with first lady Michelle Obama for the past eight years, wrote a public letter claiming she would never work with Melania or anyone in the Trump family. Designer Sophie Theallet posted the controversial letter to her Twitter page, announcing she would not be working with Melania on her inauguration dress because she did not approve of her husbands presidential campaign. Of course, not all designers responded positively to Theallets disrespectful message. I think Melania is a very beautiful woman and I think any designer should be proud to dress her, designer Tommy Hilfiger commented at the Angel Ball in New York City. Ivanka is equally as beautiful and smart, although she wears her own clothes. I dont think people should become political about it, Hilfiger continued. Everyone was very happy to dress Michelle (Obama) as well. I think they look great in the clothes. Youre not gonna get much more beautiful than Ivanka or Melania. Theallet also received criticism from Angela Guitard, the owner of a designer boutique in Rye, N.Y., who has decided she will no longer carry Theallets designs. Clearly you are now inflicting your impudent political opinions on others and using social media for promotion. It is disrespectful and unprofessional on many fronts, Guitard wrote in an email to Theallet. The fact that you have rejected our new president and first lady is not only a slap in the face to me as a U.S. citizen, but you have also insulted the true democracy of this country and negated any openness to unite Americans. What do you think? Did Theallet just dig her own professional grave? 
2	Barack Obama Facing 10 Years To Life After Being Exposed For THIS Lately, it has become increasingly clear that President Obama is acting more like a dictator than the President of a Democracy. Nothing has made this more clear than his unilateral decision to release terrorists leaders from Guantanamo Bay without the support of Congress. Now, former judge and Fox News contributor Andre Napolitano is speaking out against Obama for acting like royalty. Recently, he made an appearance with Shepard Smith, where he strongly claimed that the president both violated the law when he refused to notify Congress of the swap in exchange for Bowe Bergdahl, but his actions could be considered as aiding a terrorist organization. That crime is punishable by up to ten years in prison. Napolitano went on to claim that the president is guilty of violating a statute that prohibits the use of taxpayer money to transport prisoners from Guantanamo without 30 days notice to Congress. The charge for that crime is nothing in comparison to potential charges of providing material assistance to a terrorist organization. Fact: The Taliban has been declared by the Congress and the president to be a non-state terrorist organization, Napolitano told Smith. Fact: Federal statue makes it a crime, punishable by ten years in jail up to life in prison, for materially aiding a terrorist organization. Fact: the courts have ruled that any assistance, knowingly and intentionally provided to a terrorist organization by an American makes that American liable for prosecution under this statute. What do you think? Does Obama need to be punished to the full extent of the law? 
1	The Chicago Bears put on a display of inaccurate passing, sluggish route running, and careless ball-handling Wednesday as the team exhibited their new-look-like-shit offense to fans and media attending training camp to view a full-squad practice. 'We finally have the personnel to implement a game plan of high-percentage incomplete passes, completed passes of four yards or less, and a rushing attack that lets us lose control of the game clock with complex plays that take forever to develop and generate negative yardage,' offensive coordinator Ron Turner said, explaining why the Bears abandoned the 'West-Coast-My-Fat-Ass' offense they ran last year. 'I'm confident that both Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton possess the ability to overthrow a receiver on a deep fly pattern or find an open defender and deliver the ball with laser-like precision, so we'll be switching between them often and at random intervals to avoid either one getting into a rhythm or developing any confidence.' According to Turner, the offense is starting to malfunction as a cohesive unit and has shown much more consistency at blowing assignments, missing blocks, and fumbling snaps. 
3	Could Amazons New Virtual Currency Rival Bitcoin?J.P. Hicks, Contributor Amazon calls the Coins an important step to create the most complete end-to-end ecosystem for building, monetizing and marketing their apps and games. How it Works: There have been several retail companies that have attempted incentive point systems to encourage loyalty at their platforms. There have also been a handful of virtual currencies to hit the Internet, mostly in-game currencies to buy virtual upgrades. Yet, there has never been a retailer to offer its own true currency to buy real goods, let alone one as dominant as Amazon. They have not specified how users will earn Coins or how their value will be determined. For this Beta rollout Amazon has been vague, saying its giving away tens of millions of dollars worth of Coins to its customers, and the value of each Coin will be arbitrarily set at $.01. Currently the most popular Internet-wide virtual currency is Bitcoin. Bitcoins appeal is that theyre not controlled by a central authority, they allow for anonymous transactions thus it is nearly impossible to tax, they can be exchanged for any currency, and the supply is regulated by a complex algorithm that will ultimately result in higher values. However, as popular as it has become, Bitcoin is still not accepted for many retail goods. Thats where Amazon has the upper hand if in fact they have aspirations of making Amazon Coins a viable alternative currency. The fact that they can offer a wide range of goods in exchange for this virtual currency holds incredible power. Amazon stands a better chance than anyone else because its customer base uses the company regularly, Yanis Varoufakis an in-game economist for Valve told The Verge. When entering amazon.com, at least for some people, it is a little like going to a foreign country. If this foreign country has its own currency and gives you discounts and various goodies provided you change some money into its currency upon entry, you may well do it. There has been some confusion about Amazons motivation for its virtual currency and just how it adds any value besides increasing customer loyalty, if it even does that. Anything thats going to help Android monetize anything at all is good, Kevin Galligan, president of Touch Lab, told The Verge. But how do you get Coins? They dont go into that. If you have to buy Coins, then I dont understand whats the difference between that and money. Its clear that theyre targeting boosting their app development business, but there are many ways to inject tens of millions into a certain area to boost business. Therefore, it seems that Amazon has bigger plans for their Coin scheme. Most states in America have begun to tax online sales which temporarily dampened business for Amazon. The Coins could conceivably help individual sellers avoid sales taxes if all income remains in house in a Coin wallet to be spent only within the Amazon community. So perhaps avoiding taxes is a small part of the motivation. Even though many customers have grown wary of incentive schemes and it remains unclear how Amazon Coins will add value to its business, if Amazon expands the program to their broader store and establishes a straightforward currency exchange for the Coins, its possible for them to make a huge impact in the world of online currencies. Amazon promises to give more details about the currency when they roll them out in May. Stay tuned. J.P.

1	JUREZ, MEXICOIn an effort to let the heat die down a little, Vice President Joe Biden reportedly skipped town Saturday, telling White House officials that he was going to be lying low in Mexico for a spell. 'I need to steer clear of D.C. until some shit blows over,' said Biden, sitting in the far corner of a Mexican cantina with his back to the wall and taking a long swig from a bottle of Tecate Light. 'It's nothing I can't handle, but let's just say there was a little misunderstanding. Somebody didn't get something they were supposed to get.' 'And somebody else got a whole lot more than they bargained for,' he added. Biden, who contacted aides Monday from an undisclosed Mexican border town, said the situation was getting 'pretty fucking dicey' up in Washington and that it was time for him to 'take a little vacation' and get his head straight. The vice president also suggested that an upcoming meeting with delegates from Israel and Palestine would be far more effective if the representatives were to convene in Mexico and enjoy some of the 'dirt-cheap margies they got down here.' Biden, fresh off a big night at the jai alai courts, waits for his luck to come around in poker with lady friend Lexus. 'Things got pretty hairy there for a minute, but I been through rougher shit than this by a mile,' said Biden, whose voice suddenly dropped to a whisper as he glanced over his shoulder at passing cantina-goers. 'Plus, Ral owes me big time, so he's letting me crash on his couch until I can figure out an angle on this. I just need to ride things out until the dust settles.' Sources in the Obama administration confirmed that the vice president advised staffers to play it cool if a couple of rugged-looking sonsofbitches come looking for Dynamite Joe, and urged officials to throw them off his trail by saying he was attending a conference on nonproliferation in Munich. Biden also requested that all of his personal mail and national security updates be forwarded to the Muerto Perro Taberna in care of Paco. Although Biden estimated that it could take up to four months to scare up the cash he needed, the former six-term Delaware senator said he would make the best of it, adding that there was a spicy little seorita he had been meaning to track down. 'It's been a few years since I've seen Maria,' Biden said with a smile. 'Wouldn't mind seeing if she can still stuff a piata like she used to, if you know what I mean.' According to aides, Biden has reached out to President Obama and asked him to explain his sudden disappearance to his wife, Jill. 'Come on, Barry, you know how to talk to her,' Biden was overheard saying into a payphone outside a local taqueria. 'Jilly knew what she was getting into the day she married me, but brother, I don't think flowers are gonna cut it this time.' On Tuesday, the Senate received a postcard of topless women wearing green, red, and white bikini bottoms from Biden. A personal message apologized for his extended absence and provided contact information and instructions to call his buddy Blaze if they needed a tiebreaking vote. 'We're trying to get tax breaks for small businesses passed, and he pulls this again?' said Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT), who claimed a bald, ill-tempered truck driver named Cyrus has been interrupting congressional sessions all week looking for Biden. 'I feel bad that they busted out the windows on his Trans Am, but we're all getting pretty tired of this. It seems like every few months we have to reschedule everything for him.' Biden, who said his initial plans are to just kick back for a few weeks and 'catch some rays,' claimed he was looking forward to taking in some of the local Mexican culture. 'I've been dying to hit Tijuana and check out a donkey show,' Biden said. 'I haven't seen one since Teddy [Kennedy] and the guys took me down there when I was a freshman senator.' 
2	Director Of National Intelligence Catches Radical Terrorists Entering U.S. Through Syrian Refugee Program The Office of the Director of National Intelligence announced that radical Islamic terrorists have been trying to enter the U.S. through Obamas Syrian Refugee program. The program plans to bring in 10,000 Syrians, and Obama wants to more than double this number throughout next year. The fact that Obama refuses to acknowledge this issue is baffling. On top of all this, Ben Carson announced after his visit to Syria that the Syrians dont even want to come to the United States. Do you think we should axe the Syrian Refugee Program? 
3	The Global Eco-Constitution of the UN ExplainedSusanne Posel, Contributor Choosing the creation of a global society with global democracy will improve the function of global financial markets and environmental quality. George Soros suggests in The Crisis of Global Capitalismthat a worldwide alliance will operate in promoting principles of international law. However, there is little concern in the globalist Elites view of local markets. Soros goes on to explain the globalist perspective: To stabilize and regulate a truly global economy, we need some global system of political decision making. In short, we need a global society to support our global economy. A global society does not mean a global state. To abolish the existence of states is neither feasible nor desirable; but insofar as there are collective interests that transcend state boundaries, the sovereignty of states must be subordinated to international law and international institutions. Interestingly, the greatest opposition to this idea is coming from the United States, which, as the sole remaining superpower, is unwilling to subordinate itself to any international authority. The United States faces a crisis of identity: Does it want to be a solitary superpower or the leader of the free world? The two roles could be blurred as long as the free world was confronting an evil empire, but the choice now presents itself in much starker terms. Unfortunately we have not even started to consider it. The popular inclination in the United States is to go it alone, but that would deprive the world of the leadership it so badly needs. Isolationism could be justified only if the market fundamentalists were right and the global economy could sustain itself without a global society. One example of global governance superseding sovereign nation states was when the US Marine Mammal Protection Actbanned tuna imports from nations that utilized fishing methods that killed dolphins, the WTO overrode the US, saying that they could not impose such a ban on countries. Global governance assumes that the purpose of economics is the assure the preservation of nature and natural resources with minimal cost. This agenda serves to allow the UN to control how independent governments use their economy. It also gives the UN over-reaching power for specific economic allocation of funds as defined by international mandate. The valuation techniques of the UN are reserved for the benefit of preservation, not independent countries ability to govern themselves. Essentially, under the control of the UN, if the economic solution does not give complete insurance against the non-achievement of sustainability it is strictly prohibited. Through the propaganda threat of catastrophic outcomes, government officials can be coerced into submission of the rules and regulations set forth by the UN. Ideals and modes of thought are manipulate-able resources of essential mind control. By using the inference of intelligent institutions, the UN can successfully gain control over the social meme of individual governments. Sustainable development becomes the over-reaching institution that governs the economy, information and public interest. Elected officials who create laws will be forced to take the UNs international laws into account before preserving the rights of their individual countries. Propaganda spread throughout the general public of any given nation secures that the UNs ideals are enforced. The covert nature of pro-UN propaganda is through the cover of environmentalism. By claiming to preserve the Earths natural cycles and eco-systems, they can easily inject ideals of a one-world government into the societies of established nations worldwide. They use negative feedback to refine their agendas by supplying a constant flow of information into the social construct through stealth. This information appears to be rational on the surface, yet, in the end, leads to a removal of assured independence on the individual and governmental levels.The decision-making control is transferred to the UN, which imbues power to governments to enact their directives. Contrary to the UNs agenda, global markets are not an inevitable consequence of historical development. It is an over-reaching outcome of restriction of state governance. Under the UNs control there will be a global constitution which defines itself by: UN Earth Charter These objectives are only achieved through the control of minds, thoughts and ideals of individuals. Societal conditioning remaining status quo ensures the global Elite will continue to regulate human thinking. Susanne Posel is the Chief Editor of Occupy Corporatism.

1	Stressing that the new policy would be effective immediately, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced Tuesday that the league will strictly prohibit family members from delivering remarks at players funerals. After careful consideration, we have determined that eulogies for players who have passed away will no longer be given by family and friends, said Goodell, adding that an NFL representative will instead issue a brief eight- to 10-minute speech honoring the deceased as the coffin is lowered into the ground. Family will be allowed to stand next to the gravestone during the tribute, but will not be permitted to deliver any additional comments to the crowd of mourners. Should they wish to be more involved, however, the next of kin are welcome to read a spiritual passage or lead the service in a prayer, provided they are selected from our list of acceptable options. Goodell also confirmed that all epitaphs must be submitted to the league for final approval, while cemetery plots will be restricted to flowers and a single black-and-white photograph of the late player smiling in his team uniform. 
2	Michelle Malkin Makes Devastating Announcement... Please Send Her Your Prayers According to recent reports, outspoken conservative Michelle Malkin is in desperate need of our prayers. Malkin has made a name for herself for being a vocal Republican and speaking out on various issues. Recently, however, she discussed a more personal current event. Malkins teenage daughter, Veronica, is currently suffering from a respiratory issue that doctors are having a difficult time trying to remedy. Ever since Mothers Day, Veronica has struggled to catch her breath. She was taken to the hospital after she began gasping and struggling for air. Despite all physical indications, tests reveal that Veronica is getting plenty of oxygen. Still, she claims that she has a constant feeling of drowning. Every day begins with gasping beyond her control, multiple times a minute, nonstop, every hour of every day, until she reaches a point of exhaustion at 1 or 2 in the morning, Malkin concluded. What do you think? Will you send your prayers to Malkin and her family in this difficult time? 
3	The operation called manufactured consensusBy Jon Rappoport It begins with some authoritative voice proclaiming an idea is a fact. Well, someone has to start the ball rolling. Very quickly, according to plan, others pick up the ball and echo the original idea. This includes both respected individuals and groups. Media join in. What follows is a scramble to gain public acceptance. All sorts of approaches are used in this stage of the process: the claim that a consensus has already been reached (which is a lie); attacks on dissidents and critics; warnings that refusal to accept the central idea will have dire consequences for all of us; cooked and slanted scientific studies; general reminders that the idea being promoted represents the greatest good for the greatest number; expressions of shock that there are still people who refuse to accept the obvious; new laws and regulations hammered into existence; subsequent legalized coercion; arguments so illogical and bizarre that people accept them, thinking they themselves must be missing the point; relegation of dissent to the margins of wild conspiracy theory; the conjoining of dissent with negative images and feelings; the marginalizing of dissent into legal cases that wind through seemingly endless corridors of a maze; and, of course, endless repetition of the original idea. After a suitable period has passed, most people cant even recall a time when the original idea was seriously disputed. And yetnone of these strategies would succeed, unless people felt a strong need for a centralized authority that defines reality. To put it another way, people have a quite minimal tolerance for chaos, in which there are many conflicting views on a subject of key importance. Years ago, I did interesting experiments with small groups re chaos. In one part of the experiment, I had the people in the group spontaneously sing a note, all at once, any note. Ten people, ten different notes would emerge. Chaos. Dissonance. I asked them to listen to the overall musical effect and then voice a note they believed would add greater dissonance to the group sound. Most of the time, if I let this go on long enough, the group would tend to retreat back into harmony, and end up all singing the same note. It didnt matter which note. Everyone wound up voicing the same pitch. This was comfortable. This was acceptable. This was unity. So it is with ideas. Most people prefer that harmony and unity. They seek it. Somewhere in their minds, there is a learned program that asks for consensus, a program that prefers consent to difference. Dissonance (disagreement) registers as a negative reality. When I had done these group experiments on and off for a few years, I began my research on what came to be the collections, The Matrix Revealed and Exit From The Matrix. I stressed the power of individual unfettered imagination, and offered many exercises to expand the scope and range of imagination. The program in favor of uniform consent fades and disintegrates in the face of imagination. What we call reality is a hodge-podge of engineered acceptance. The basic kernel of reality is the programmed desire for unity, which is nothing like the kind of unity that can occur when individuals who live through and by imagination concur and cooperate. An individual living a life through and by imagination invents new and unprecedented Reality. Engineered consensus withers.

1	Rattled by Wall Street's extreme volatility of late, CNN Moneyline anchor Lou Dobbs hosted the program from a windy ledge high above New York's financial district Tuesday. Dobbs broadcasts from high above New York. 'The Dow was up 579 points today, rebounding sharply from Monday's 611-point loss,' said Dobbs, as he struggled to simultaneously address the camera, retain his grip on the exterior wall of the Prescott Securities Tower, and prevent his tie from blowing into his face from the wind outside the 63rd floor. 'Stocks plummeted early in the day, with the industrial average hitting a five-year low of 7,627 by noon, but by 3 p.m., bargain hunters moved in, raising the average to a robust 9,143.' Trying hard not to look down, Dobbs analyzed the day's wild fluctuations. 'This morning's plunge was largely attributable to breaking news of a massive accounting scandal at Cinergy,' said Dobbs, causing panic among the crowd below as he leaned out to glance at the stock-ticker crawl on the side of the building. 'Also shaking investor confidence was the 11 a.m. announcement that the U.S. consumer-confidence index had fallen from 106.3 to 97.1.' Added Dobbs, sweat pouring from his face: 'Confidence was restored, however, at around 2 p.m., when President Bush signed a tough new corporate-crime bill, prompting a furious late rally that nearly made up for the massive losses.' On Monday, Dobbs alerted CNN by handwritten memo that he would be broadcasting from the ledge for 'the foreseeable future.' In the memo, Dobbs noted that, given the state of the economy, he had 'no clue how long the foreseeable future might be.' Toward the end of Tuesday's program, Dobbs interviewed New York City police officer Jim Alland, with whom he discussed the recent erosion of mutual-fund-based retirement portfolios of civil servants, as well as the possibility of Dobbs coming down off the ledge. 'Not that pulling everything out of your 401(k) and taking the one-time tax hit is what I'd recommend,' Dobbs told Alland through a bullhorn, while safety-net-bearing officers stood at the ready below. 'Their relative stability and tax-free nature might be enough to offset the considerable short-term loss we've all been seeing that makes us want to just give up.' CNBC's Maria Bartiromo during a recent <i>Market Week</i> broadcast. Dobbs' guests on the ledge tomorrow will include former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, AOL Time Warner CEO Richard Parsons, and 'Mary Mumbles,' a homeless schizophrenic who has been on the ledge since early July. 'And Friday on Moneyline, we'll be talking to SEC chief Harvey Pitt about the Adelphia scandal,' said Dobbs, sliding to a sitting position on the 11-inch ledge. 'Also on the program, Senate leader Tom Daschle will discuss the call for SEC chief Harvey Pitt's resignation for his role in the Adelphia scandal.' Dobbs' window-ledge appearance is regarded as the most striking display of economic anxiety from a media figure since 'Black Monday,' Oct. 19, 1987. On that day, the Dow lost more than 22 percent of its total value, prompting Louis Rukeyser to host an entire hour of Wall Street Week holding a gun to his head. Market watchers say Tuesday's show contrasted sharply with Dobbs' broadcasts of the late '90s. 'This is a far cry from the Moneyline of 1999, when the NASDAQ, fueled by the booming New Economy, soared past 4,000, and the Dow was at 11,000,' said Gene Sperling, a senior market analyst at Bloomberg Financial. 'Back then, toga-clad nymphettes would feed an opium-sodden Dobbs peeled grapes as he broadcast from a pool high atop Caesar's Palace in Vegas.' 'It's a rocky time for investors,' said Chuck Hill, Dobbs' sometime co-anchor and 'First Call' segment host, speaking from inside the studio bathroom where he locked himself Tuesday night. 'And it's far from over: There's still a long way down, and many in the business world are wondering who will hose up the mess once this roller-coaster ride is finally through.' Dobbs, meanwhile, said he is committed to staying at his post. 'This is a crucial, do-or-die time, both on and above Wall Street,' said Dobbs in Tuesday's closing remarks, during which he thanked the NYPD; intern Karen Gross, who repeatedly retrieved his loafers from street level; and CNN, 'for all the good times which are now so much dust.' After giving away most of his earthly possessions to his staff, Dobbs concluded: 'I want to close with a thought that, unfortunately, may not ease your worries. I never forecast the market on this show, and I'm not about to start now, but I think my position on this economyand on this window ledgespeaks for itself.' 
2	Thousands Of Oregon Citizens Stage Anti Obama Protest Ahead Of His Arrival Last weeks shooting at Umpqua Community College took the lives of ten Christian students and injured several others. Rather than focus on the hate crime, President Obama took the opportunity to push his anti-gun agenda. Now, White House insiders claim that Obama is planning to visit Roseburg, Oregon to memorialize the victims of the tragedy. Apparently, however, Roseburg doesnt want anything to do with the President. David Jacques, the publisher of the Roseburg Beacon, told Bill OReilly that Obama will not be welcomed with Obama arms. Now, Roseburg leaders have set up a Defend Roseburg-Deny Barack Obama Facebook page, which states the following: The anointed one his majesty king 0bama and the White House have announced a Friday arrival in Roseburg, Oregon in the wake of Oct 1sts horrific tragedy at UCC. Polarizing as usual, Mr 0bama has insisted on politicizing the event as a conduit for increased executive orders on gun control via means of his pen, and his phone. This blatant disrespect of the victims families, the community and the town of Roseburg, Mr 0bamas administration is flying not just the 747 that is airforce one to Oregon, but a three helicopter team of Sikorskys that make up HMX-1, known as Marine one to travel to Roseburg at the taxpayers expense. We need a lot of people. Please come show your support for Roseburg, not the little man who has no respect for the constitution. 
3	United States Exposed for Being Complicit in Arming and Training Child Soldiers in AfghanistanBy Jay Syrmopoulos Ahmad has been lionized as a national hero in Afghanistan after his death on Monday in the Uruzgan province at the hands of Taliban militants. The boy had previously gained national prominence for helping militia forces break an insurgent siege after his uncle had been wounded. Ahmads death, while fighting alongside his uncle, with a U.S. supported government militia called the Afghan Local Police (ALP) has thrust the grim practice of child soldiers in combat into the international spotlight once again. Theres nothing heroic about putting a child in danger by arming him and having him fight in a war. The Taliban killed 10-year-old Wasil Ahmad, but those who encouraged him to fight bear responsibility as well, Patricia Gossman, the senior Afghanistan researcher for Human Rights Watch, told The Guardian. Afghan government officials said Ahmad was not formally part of the Afghan Local Police, but his uncle, with whom he fought alongside, was an official member of the group, according to The Guardian. Created in 2010, the Afghan Local Police, known as ALP, is largely an invention of the US military, and was initially overseen by elite US special operations forces. Critics have long pointed to persistent human-rights abuse allegations within an entity they fear provides cover for the empowerment of militias. According to a US government audit in October, the US Defense Department has provided $469.7m to the ALP from inception through April 2015, and estimates that the force will cost approximately $121m annually to sustain. The same audit chided the Pentagon for lacking plans to disband the ALP or transition its 30,000 fighters to the official security services after US sponsorship ends, a switch currently slated for September. When asked by The Guardian for comment about the U.S. funding militia groups that field child soldiers, the Pentagon and U.S. Central Command both refused to comment, with the Pentagon directing attention to a State Department policy on aid to foreign militaries. Consistent with US law and policy, the Department of State vets its assistance to foreign security forces, as well as certain Department of Defense training programs, to ensure that recipients have not committed gross human rights abuses. When the vetting process uncovers credible information that an individual or unit has committed a gross violation of human rights, US assistance is withheld. Afghan interior minister, Sediq Sediqqi, said that recruitment of children is against official policy and that its a crime to use child soldiers. The spokesman for the Uruzgan provincial governor noted that while Ahmad was not an official member of the ALP, he took up arms to avenge the deaths of 16 family members that had all been members of the ALP and had been killed by the Taliban. Recruiting child soldiers violates international law and Afghan law, but tragically its been a longstanding practice by some Afghan militias and ALP. Even though some of these forces get US support, there has been little effort to hold abusive commanders accountable for such crimes. Its high time the Afghan government matched its words with action to end the practice of recruiting child soldiers, said Human Rights Watchs Gossman. The idea of U.S. funding going to directly to groups that employ child soldiers is repugnant and shocking to the conscience. When policy becomes more important than morality, people suffer. Jay Syrmopoulos is a political analyst, 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, Raw Story, MintPress News, as well as many other sites. You can follow him on Twitter @sirmetropolis, on Facebook at Sir Metropolis and now on tsu. America is as ugly as its leaders and as stupid as its voters! Terrorism is a highly profitable business venture so it makes sense that theyd be manufacturing terrorists. Controlled Opposition terrorists to be exact.. That is the culture of many middle eastern countries to enlist child soldiers. Did you not read where this child was fighting beside his uncle? I cant conceive of that lifestyle . its a travesty but not there. That being said, the Americans that are over there training soldiers should be held up as heroes for doing all they can to teach these children to survive. Sadly they cant save them all, but not all the,adults do either. The middle eastern culture isnt going to change so its either teach everyone that joins their military or dont teach these children and almost guarantee their demise. U.S. troops are heroes. The U.S. remains silent as a generation of (male) children are raped daily. An international war crime. May the God of all creation smite those responsible for such wickedness and evil. God help us if this is totally true. We will get what we deserve. The innocent along with the guilty. All I can see is destruction. The Thrice Wise Hermes, the Lawgiver, stated as a Law: This is not just Americans there is filth and corruption from the top down. Leaders are only concerned about their own hides the death machine will roll on so long as the all seeing eye shadow government pulls the strings. BTW: marlene in America all the leaders are selected voting is only another part of the farce. 
3	1st Amendment Violated as Facebook Assists Police in Pre-Crime InvestigationsSusanne Posel, Contributor Raubs lawyers saythat he will be held for up to 30 days further confinement in a VA psych ward after government officials again pointed to Raubs Facebook posts as the sole reason for their concern and for his continued incarceration. While Raub was takenforcefully, put into handcuffs and taken by the FBI to be questioned, both the FBI and Secret Service deny that Raub was arrested or detained by them. Facebook comments were recently cited as evidencein a court case concerning cyber bullying where comments on a personal page were ruled by a US Federal court as information that can be lawfully obtained by the police to be used against a defendant. William Pauley, US District Court Judge, stated that because the defendant made violent threats in his posts which are deemed public information that they are allowable as evidence against him by prosecutors. The Electric Frontier Foundation (EFF) filed suitwith the US Department of Defense (DoD) because the federal agency refused to admit their relationship with social networks with regard to surveillance and law enforcement investigations. Government officials scan Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter and YouTube for evidence of criminal activities, activists and possible suspects who may have not committed a crime just yet. And these agencies named in the lawsuit refused to cooperate with the EFF in explaining how gathering this information would impact citizens privacy rights and associated legal protections. Hoping to dupe Americans into posting on their Facebook page, the CIAgathers information while inviting people to register and read information about the employment opportunities. While government agencies are using Facebook to data mine on Americans, it has been suggested in the social memethat without a Facebook page, a persons mental stability is questionable. Now, having a profile or not is the barometer of whether or not a person is suspicious or not. Some psychologists are even suggesting that not having a Facebook profile means that you are a psychopath. The linkbetween the Batman shooter and the Norwegian mass murderer was their lack of Facebook profiles. In fact, thismay be the first sign that you are a mass murderer. Trapwire, the most impressive pre-crime surveillance software corporation with clients from Wal-Mart to the White House, is but one of many types of Big Brother network grids that have incrementally begun to invade our lives. Alexander Keith, director of the National Security Agency (NSA) described at a yearly Def Concomputer hacking conference that the internet is at great risk from exploitation, disruption and destruction. He went on to voice his concern that its going to flow into destructive attacks that could have consequences for our critical national infrastructure and the Internet itself. Basically, Keith is concerned because the internet is currently not controlled by federal agencies. When the NSAneeds more hackers, they recruit out of colleges and universities across the US under the official Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Operations. By using college students, the NSA is amassing an elite team of computer geniuses that will be trained in all methodology of hacking based on their exceptional cyber intelligence, military capabilities and ability to enhance law enforcements expansion of spying on Americans. The Department of Justice (DoJ) has requested the authority to criminally prosecute those who lie on Facebook and other social media as a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Accordingto Richard Downing, the DoJ deputy computer crime chief, the law must provide for prosecutions based upon a violation of terms of service or similar contractual agreement with an employer or provider. A felony can be committed by the user of a social media site by exceeding the authorized access; meaning any infraction of the websites term of service. Put in other words, The NSA has transformed itself into the largest and most comprehensive intelligence agency with the expressed purpose of collecting data on American citizens. Emails, cell phone calls, text messages, Google searches, parking receipts, and all other forms of information are collected and stored for future use. Social media sites like Facebook readily give over information to federal agencies that conduct such surveillance. And like we have seen with the case of US Marine veteran Brandon Raub, it can be used against you. 
1	Following the fatal terrorist attack Wednesday at the offices of French newspaper Charlie Hebdo, sources confirmed this afternoon that it is sadly not yet clear whether this very article will ultimately put human lives at risk. According to totally and utterly depressing early reports, given the tragic deaths of 12 people, it is impossible to say with absolute certainty that this 500-word article will not make those involved in its writingand potentially even those not involvedthe targets of brutal and unconscionable violence. The heartbreaking tragedy that unfolded in Paris today is the result of a perverted, hateful ideology that has no place in the civilized world, is a quote that someone or some group of people might be reading at this very moment and, in what unfortunately serves to illustrate the horrifying state of modern society, interpreting as an unforgivable insult against their beliefs that must be met with the cold-blooded murder of innocent people. Its just so terrible and senseless. I mean, how can something like this even happen? Im at a loss for words, to be perfectly honest, is a further quote that would hopefully not enrage anyone to the point of actually taking another human beings life, but which, for the love of God, conceivably could. Those familiar with the situation told reporters that if someone were to read the very words written here and be offended by them, it would be reasonable to expect them to be upset andat worstwrite an angry letter to this publication expressing their ire in a relatively calm and composed fashion. Reports further confirmed that to somehow use this articleor indeed any article or any piece of self-expressionas a pretext to violence, let alone deadly violence, is simply impossible to justify and should never, ever transpire in human civilization. Then again, sources added, thats what actually happened today. Sickened, distraught, and profoundly sad sources further added it was fully within the realm of possibility that it could happen again. Todays horrific events only reinforce the idea that we cannot and will not let extremist zealots dictate what we can and cannot say, is a comment that we will quote, but one that we do with a legitimate sense of uncertainty over whether it could incite an attack against the speaker or their loved ones, a sense of uncertainty that feels awful, grotesque, and wholly unnecessary in this day and age. We live in a society in which every person is entitled to his or her own opinions, and every person is entitled to express those opinions without fear of harm. And that isnt changing, whether a small minority of psychotic, murderous degenerates like it or not. At press time, although the consequences of this article are reportedly still unclear and actual human lives may hang in the balance, sources confirmed that the best thing to doreally the only thing to dois to simply put it out there and just hope that it does some good. 
2	Obama Caught In Massive IRS Scandal Facing Major Jail Time Well, it appears that the Obama administration and the Democratic Party as a whole are facing an IRS scandal. Although the scandal was originally associated solely on Lois Lerner, new documents have revealed that the president is connected to the issues. In fact, some are calling this Obamas Watergate. According to reports, the documents are the tax papers of Wayne Root, who was personally targeted by the IRS for his conservative views. The Obama IRS obstructed the release of Wayne Roots tax documents. The abuse of process Judicial Watch and Wayne suffered through to get these documents is scandalous, Tim Fitton for Judicial Watch wrote. Now we know why the Obama IRS was hesitant to give Wayne his own IRS files. These documents show the Obama IRS scandal was more than just suppressing the Tea Party, it was also about auditing critics of President Obama. Richard Nixon had to resign from office for less. Root was audited by the IRS twice, before finally obtaining possession of his records. Written at the top of the documents were the words sensitive case. Now, Root is coming forward to discuss the incident. He claims that the documents have been handed to authorities for investigation. A president, by law, cannot use the IRS to try to silence his critics or political opponents, Root concluded. What do you think? Do you believe Obama is abusing his power? 
1	Twelve wedding guests were critically injured Saturday night in a dance-floor pileup blamed on new-versus-old Electric Slide confusion. 'The DJ called for the Electric Slide without specifying which, and when the 'old' Sliders slid to the right, they collided violently with the stationary, hip-shaking 'new' Sliders,' paramedic Laura Denison said. 'By the fifth bar, the dance floor was a gruesome tangle of bodies.' In the wake of the tragedy, the American Association of Disc Jockeys released a statement urging all DJs to specify which Electric Slide they are calling for at any future weddings, retirement parties, and bar mitzvahs. 
1	Steve Smalls, a senior vice-president at Chicago's Alliance Manufacturing, the world's largest producer of industrial refrigeration systems, is a self-described 'blues nut.' Steve Smalls enjoys a Kenny Wayne Shepherd CD with his wife June. With his regular table at Dan Aykroyd's House Of Blues, vast CD collection featuring the likes of B.B. King, Bonnie Raitt, and Jonny Lang, and framed photo of himself with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Smalls has been 'a huge fan' of the music for more than 20 years. But the 43-year-old Smalls is not merely a blues lover: With his May 1999 relocation of Alliance's main assembly plant from Cicero, IL, to Hermosillo, Mexico, Smalls put 2,700 mostly black employees out of work, making him one of Chicago's greatest blues causers. 'The best show I've ever seen had to be Clapton at the Rosemont Horizon back in '94,' Smalls declared over a $5.50 Sam Adams draft at the Bulldog Brew Pub. 'He did a version of 'Before You Accuse Me' that absolutely smoked. Unbelievable.' Pausing to enter a favorite Buddy Guy song on the jukebox, Smalls explained why the music resonates so strongly with him. 'In 1996, when Alliance was indicted for illegally burying dozens of 200-gallon drums of deadly freon near Chicago's South Side, I was losing a lot of sleep. There was even talk of some of the top brass getting fired. We got out of it, of course, paying a token fine, but that was a rough experience. At that point, I really felt like I knew what it's like to have the blues.' Smalls is so committed to causing the blues that in the early '90s, he used illegal price-fixing tactics to drive smaller refrigeration-systems companies out of business, causing additional unemployment and poverty among the nation's blacks. 'Running a major corporation isn't easy. You sometimes have to make tough decisions to preserve your competitiveness in the marketplace,' Smalls said. 'But when you do have to make the painful decision to order layoffs, a good Robert Cray record goes a long way toward soothing your soul.' Some of the thousands of laid-off Alliance employees who have the blues, courtesy of Smalls. While the average corporate vice-president would rather attend a golf tournament than listen to Susan Tedeschi, Smalls is happiest at one the countless blues shows he attends each year. 'Kenny Wayne Shepherd was just in town,' Smalls said. 'I got front-row seats and talked to him for a while at a $500 cocktail meet-and-greet backstage. That was a big thrill. He's one of the best young axes around.' 'Have you seen The Blues Brothers?' Smalls asked. 'I just ordered it on DVD. It's one of my all-time favorite movies. Jake and Elwood sure know how to play them blues.' A longtime fan of Blues Brothers star Aykroyd, Smalls can often be found at the comedian's famed club. 'Dan really did [House Of Blues] right,' Smalls said. 'The way he modeled it after an old Mississippi shotgun shack was a great touch. It looks just like those old tin-roof shanties I used to drive past near Alliance's South Side factoryonly with much better drink specials.' Smalls says he has no plans ever to stop loving the music. 'The blues certainly isn't the only music I listen tothe new Santana hasn't left my car's CD player for monthsbut it's what I always come back to,' Smalls said. 'Other kinds of music may come and go, but the blues are forever.' 'Blues music is all about pain: It's about losing your job, your dog dying, and your woman leaving you for another man,' he continued. 'Listening to the blues, I can almost imagine what it would be like to experience one of those things.' 
2	George Soros In Huge Trouble, Heres What They Found In Hillarys Hacked Emails According to recent reports, hundreds of internal documents from groups run by prominent billionaire and liberal donor General Soros were leaked on Sunday after hackers infiltrated the groups. Approximately 2,576 files were released by DCLeaks, a website claiming to be launched by the American hacktivists who respect and appreciate freedom of speech, human rights and government of the people. The documents are reportedly sourced from multiple departments of Soros organizations. His Open Society Foundations group seems to be the one with the most documents in the leak. Files come from many different regions in the word, the Presidents Office and SOUK. The documents date from 2008 to 2016. In June of this year, the Open Society Foundations had several documents leaked by the hacktivist group. The foundation notified the FBI of the breach. Soros also advised Hillary Clinton during her tenure as Secretary of State on how to handle unrest in Albania. It appears she acted on his advice.

1	Like a desperate shipwreck survivor clutching at flotsam in the North Atlantic, area bar patron Kyle Whaley kept his eyes glued to a muted episode of the sitcom King Of Queens Monday, attempting to look as if he had some reason to be at Snooker's Bar and Grill despite not knowing anyone there. 'Last I hear Bob was back at his landscaping job,' a nearby bar patron said in a conversation Whaley had no hope of joining. Watching without sound or subtitles, Whaley shifted nervously on his barstool and locked his gaze on the program like a man cornered by an angry bear. As of press time, there was only one segment left after the upcoming commercial break, and Whaley's options were quickly running out. 
1	As they continued to monitor the 12-year veteran for concussion symptoms, Eagles team doctors announced this morning that they would not clear quarterback Michael Vick to play this Sunday after hearing him claim his team still has a great chance to make the playoffs. When Michael said that it immediately raised all kinds of medical red flags, said head physician Dr. Peter DeLuca, adding that highly irrational delusions such as Vicks were a classic symptom of severe concussions. As a doctor, I cannot in good conscience let a player walk onto the field believing that the Philadelphia Eaglesa 3-6 team that has already lost to both the Cardinals and the goddamn Detroit Lionshave even the faintest hope of reaching the postseason. DeLuca confirmed that medical personnel grew even more concerned about Vicks condition after the quarterback held up seven fingers when asked how many more games the Eagles would win this season.

3	Idiocracy Now: The Sold Out $120 White T-Shirt by Kanye WestMelissa Melton Once upon a time, American founding father Benjamin Franklin said Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Over 200 years later in America, it was revealed our government was wholesale spying on the people. Instead of outrage and promises to immediately shut down these programs and hold anyone who violated the Constitution under them responsible, the presidents response to this revelation was, But I think its important to recognize that you cant have 100% security, and also then have 100% privacy, and zero inconvenience. Were gonna have to make some choices as a society. The American people were obviously not included in the we who were making these choices. Some Americans were so deeply concerned about this unconstitutional invasion of their privacy and rampant trampling on their Constitution and Bill of Rights, they rushed out to buy a $120 plain white T-shirt with absolutely nothing whatsoever on it designed by rap star Kanye West. West was apparently not reached for comment, but we imagine if he had been, he may have responded something along the lines of, Woo hoo, Im riiiiccccchhhh! America is awesome!

2	BREAKING: Iconic Actor Found Dead This Morning... Please Pray Fans are devastated at the news that legendary actor Ruben Aguirre, who is best known for his role as Profesor Jifrales in El Chavo del 8, passed away this morning from pneumonia at the age of 82. The tragic news was confirmed by Edgar Vivar, a costar on the popular show. My favorite professor rests in peace now, Vivar wrote on Twitter. Today my good friend Ruben Aguirre left this earth. I will miss you very much. A few weeks ago, Aguirres wife Consuelo de los Reyes revealed that he was in serious condition from his illness. From one day to another he lost all his strength and now hes not moving, de los Reyes said in early June. He cant even roll on the bed and is not talking as much. Diabetes has him like that. Before passing, Aguirre had been hospitalized for over a month. He was released in the beginning of June so that he could go home to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. That is where he passed away. Aguirre began his career in Monterey, working with a famous clown named Pipo. He later moved to Mexico City, where he launched his career. Are your thoughts and prayers with Aguirres family and friends during this time? 
1	Alyssa Kaplan, 20, a cashier at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, had yet another in a seemingly endless string of depressing days Monday. Holocaust Museum cashier Alyssa Kaplan steels herself for another long, emotionally draining day. 'You know how sometimes you get home from a really draining day at work and all you want to do is spend the night alone watching TV?' asked Kaplan, seated behind the gift-shop counter. 'Well, I've pretty much done that every night since I started here three months ago.' Though she said she strongly believes in the museum and its mission, Kaplan admitted she finds it exhausting to reflect upon the moral and theological questions raised by the Holocaust nearly nonstop for 40 hours a week. 'It doesn't exactly put me in a social mood,' Kaplan said. 'I mean, everyone on the staff gets along okay, but we don't really goof around all that much. It's not like we all finish up our shift here at the Holocaust Museum and then head over to Bennigan's for happy hour.' Kaplan starts her day at 8:30 a.m. with the 'morning once-over' in the museum's permanent exhibition, where she checks to see that all video and audio equipment is working. Divided into three parts, 'Nazi Assault,' 'Final Solution,' and 'Last Chapter,' the exhibition features 70 video monitors and four small theaters that play endless loops of historic film footage and eyewitness testimonies of the horrors perpetrated by the Nazis against the Jewish people. 'Visitors hear actual Holocaust survivors describing what it was like to be at Auschwitz,' Kaplan said. 'That section is directly on the other side of the wall of the employee bathroom, so I hear it every day during my two 15-minute breaks.' During her pre-opening floor check, Kaplan also inspects the museum's various exhibits and historical artifacts, making sure nothing is missing or out of place. 'Everything is bolted down or behind glass, so mostly we're checking to see that the cleaning crew didn't miss anything,' Kaplan said. 'Yesterday, on the underside of a case displaying a child's coat with a Star Of David sewn onto it, I found a big wad of gum. As I was cleaning it off, I read that the coat belonged to a little boy who died in Bergen-Belsen. That had me down for most of the afternoon.' When the museum opens to the public at 9 a.m., Kaplan moves to the cash register in the museum store, where she rings up a broad selection of books, videos, and other items dealing with the worst genocide of the 20th century. 'When I first started here, I'd grab a book off the shelves to read during slow stretches,' said Kaplan, holding up copies of Annihilation Of Lithuanian Jewry and Cleansing The Fatherland: Nazi Medicine And Racial Hygiene. 'For my own mental health, I had to give that up.' As emotionally draining as the museum's displays and gift-shop items are, they pale in comparison to the visitors themselves, Kaplan said. 'I get the people right after they've just spent two or three intense hours looking at the displays,' Kaplan said. 'A lot of them file into the gift shop shell-shocked and just stagger around for a while, trying to get a grip before exiting the museum. The photography-book section is pretty secluded, and quite a few times I've found people squatting next to the oversized-hardcover shelf, just weeping.' Such behavior is understandable, Kaplan said, as the museum causes many visitors, especially those of Jewish heritage, to confront long-buried feelings about their history and come to terms with man's capacity for inhumanity toward his fellow man. 'It's natural for them to want to talk about what they just saw,' Kaplan said. 'I just wish 500 people a day didn't want to talk to me about it. Sometimes, they don't speak English and they still want to talk to me about it.' A native of Potomac, MD, Kaplan said her reasons for applying for a job at the museum 'made sense at the time.' After a year and a half at George Washington University, Kaplan decided last December to take a semester off, and she believed that working at the museum would be enriching, educational, and not too physically taxing. 'I didn't want to waitress like I did last summer,' Kaplan said. 'Then my mom's friend told me about an opening here. I'm Jewish, so I figured this would be a great job for me. Now I'm starting to think that makes it not such a great job for me. I'm at Emotional-Dumping-Ground Zero here.' Kaplan had thought about requesting a transfer to the museum's ticket desk but reconsidered. 'The people at the ticket desk deal with the pushy tourists screaming about the long wait, and they get paid 75 cents an hour less,' Kaplan said. 'Plus, they have to stare at that giant photo of Kristallnacht all day. If Anne Frank could survive in that attic all those years, I should be able to do five months behind this desk.' 
3	Monsantos New Slogan: Our Corn Wont Give You Cancer!Rick Banfield In his article, GMO Opponents Are the Climate Skeptics of the Left, Kloor goes through all kinds of breathtaking, logic-defying contortions to try to convince the left, somehow, that GMO-opponents arent . . . themselves. Doesnt he know the whole left detests Monsanto and what they are doing to corrupt food and democracies around the world, and there is no division about it? While he made a stab at creating a internecine battle between left and left, it was a hopeless (albeit perhaps very well-paid) task. And the reality is there is not only unity between lefties about Monsanto. The entire left abhors Monsanto. But the right does, too, including climate skeptics. Also the middle detests them. Also, non-political people. Also anarchists. Also militias. Also sewing circles. Even family pets cant stand them. Monsanto has been a gift to everyone in that way, bringing the whole country together as one big ticked off family. Kloor failed in his impossible effort to divide the undividable. But he came up a winner with his subtitle, which gives Monsanto a fabulous food slogan. Dont worry. Genetically modified corn isnt going to give you cancer. Its a great slogan and Monsanto could even put the images of the rats in Seralinis study on packages containing their GM-corn and say See, no cancer! Or maybe Monsanto might prefer a more general slogan Buy our food, it wont kill you! and apply it to all their products. Then they could use the rats photos and to proclaim, See, theyre not dead! People would be rushing out for Monsantos GM-corn, GM-soy, GM-canola, GM-sugar, GM-high-fructose-GM-corn-syrup, GM-papaya, GM-crook-neck squash, GM-Nutrasweet, GM-Equal, etc. In his article, Kloor tore into Professor Seralini, but didnt bother to mention that Professor Seralini had already had to go to court to stop defamation, and he won. That being the case, Kloor might like to go after other scientists who are also saying there are dire consequences to GMOs. The latest warnings are about GM-wheat which is proving itself as much of a winner as GM-corn. Parents who eat GM-wheat could have children who die from it by the age of five. Perhaps Kloors slogan for GM wheat could be GM-wheat doesnt kill your children! But thats jumping ahead. One catchy phrase at a time. Thanks to Keith Kloor, left and right have been brought together; and Monsanto now has an unforgettable advertising slogan. RELATED ACTIVIST POST ARTICLE:

At least300 people were injured and more than 70 were killed in Pakistan after a suicide bomber belonging to the Taliban-associated group Jamaat-ul-Ahrar targeted a Christian gathering at a public park. In the days following the attack, President Obama has received immense criticism. Former presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson appeared on Fox Friends to bash the Obama administration for failing to specify that the bombing was an Islamic attack of terrorism that was clearly and undeniably targeted at Christians. I cant really explain why our administration goes out of its way not to include the fact that Christians are being persecuted, Carson commented. Watch the full interview below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Carson? 
3	Dr. Andrew Wakefield Conference: Ignite the TruthBy Heather Callaghan His name is synonymous with discredited and debunked an oft repeated line that lets you know when a mainstream journalist is either incredibly lazy and obtuse or is knowingly following lockstep with orders like a good corporate sycophant. Such adjectives are nothing compared to the ones leveled at vaccine skeptics of all walks and stations. When a man like Wakefield is stripped of everything for unwittingly questioning a connection not going to war on vaccines like the media regurgitates he now has nothing to lose by igniting the truth. Here, Wakefield briefly alludes to his own story and shines light on media and corporate tactics of deception. The power to crush someones reputation for questioning vaccines is paramount. However, so is the power to blow the lid on the whole illusion. As you see from his information, vaccines are not prompted by genuine care for children, but rather steamroll on despite full knowledge of deadly and devastating risks. The people who wish to acquiesce in order to be on the winning team because they themselves dont see the damages, need to understand that they are running toward a tsunami that will destroy them with hundreds of vaccines planned for a newly compulsory pipeline. What can you do when you find out the truth too late and can no longer say no? There is only so much money in Viagra vaccines are where the real profits lie.

3	Libertarian Activist Adam Kokesh Raided and ArrestedWhen plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it Frederic Bastiat Police raided the North Virginian home of libertarian activist, podcast host and former Marine Adam Kokesh Tuesday evening over the open carry protest he staged on his own in Washington D.C. Freedom Plaza on Independence day. DC Breaking Local News Weather Sports FOX 5 WTTG A press release from the Adam Vs. the Man podcast team describes the events: On the evening of Tuesday, 09JUL13, at approximately 7:45 PM, a combination of US Parks Police (an arm of the DHS) raided Adam Kokeshs residence. Local Herndon police assisted in the armed invasion. The officers used a battering ram to knock in the door after two knocks, and did not announce that they had a warrant. Immediately after breaking down the door, a flash bang grenade was deployed in the foyer. Numerous police vehicles, including a light armored vehicle and two low-flying helicopters barricaded Adams street. More than 20 armored SWAT team members surrounded the house, as well as a number of detectives, and plainclothes officers. Assault rifles were aimed on all members of the team as they were handcuffed without being told why they were detained. Masked and armored police in full Storm Trooper gear flooded in and ransacked the residence. The team was cordoned in a front room, while Adam was pulled aside for questioning. During the five-hour raid, the radio crew describes a volatile desire to initiate aggressive, forceful conduct upon them by the police as they were arrested. The press release claims that Kokesh was kicked by a officer after he had asked to use the restroom. The former marine is in custody at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center. What Kokesh actually did and the plunder of the law. On Independence Day, when Adam Kokesh loaded a shotgun in Freedom Plaza, he was standing up for the universal freedom humanity is being deprived of. Without stirring any violence, the gun was loaded in a act of disobedience toward a unconstitutional law, and off went Kokesh peacefully back home to Virginia. But authorities say that Kokesh broke the law and can now face five years in federal prison. For committing no act of aggression against anyone, its possible to become a criminal in the United States. But this is no secret. Just take a look at the US prison system where victimless criminals make up 86% of its population. Anyone who has seen the Adam Vs. the Man podcast understands that the principles Kokesh is advocating are similar to the ones of Gandhi and Rosa Parks. Non-Aggression is so blatantly the message that Kokesh and his crew are trying to get across to those who listen to their five-day-a-week broadcast. While Kokesh, who is hungry to live free, is out exercising his rights completely within moral grounds, the legal system is bearing down on him. In this video below you can get a idea of what it is Adam Kokesh is all about. The question is not: Is Kokesh a criminal? The question is whether or not the law is working to protect freedom or to suppress it. Police felt so threatened by the advocates of peace that assault rifles and helicopters were needed to detain them. In the past, Kokesh has been the victim of unjust force used by those in uniform. During a flash mob protest at the Jefferson Memorial in Washington D.C. where activists gathered to dance in defiance of a court decision that ruled dancing at the memorial is illegal, Kokesh was slammed for moving and placed under arrest by police.

1	The unattached, freewheeling, consequence-free years following Frank Anderton's graduation from college are being spent in 'one of the coolest offices in all of Seattle,' the 24-year-old reported Tuesday. Anderton, who has the world at his feet, works late at the office. 'Man, it's the greatest feeling in the world, knowing that I could do anything right now,' Anderton said, sitting at his desk at 8:30 p.m. Friday. 'I don't have any kids to worry about or a mortgage to pay. If I wanted to pick up and backpack through Europe, I could leave in two weeks, no questions asked. Of course, that would set me back a little, career-wise.' Anderton was hired directly out of college by Walsh & Billings, a high-profile Seattle advertising firm, where he has worked more than 60 hours per week for the past 68 weeks. 'The world is my oyster,' said Anderton, who has been single but not actively dating for all of his post-college life. 'Not to brag, but I'm doing pretty well. I've got a great apartment all to myself, I'm in good shape, and I've been dressing a lot better. When my sister visited me last month, she told me I was shaping up to be quite a catch.' Anderton explained that the burdens of close personal relationships do not tie him down. 'Nobody tells me what to do or when to do itother than my bosses, of course,' said Anderton, who recently cancelled his Netflix subscription after letting his first three DVDs sit on his dining-room table unwatched for nine weeks. 'The other junior account execs are always complaining about their kids and their wives. Not me. I'm completely free to stay at work as long as I want. Hell, I can even come in weekends without someone getting on my case, like Mom always used to with Dad.' Even though he's only two years out of college, Anderton has already had the opportunity to work as an assistant print supervisor on such high-profile accounts as Compaq and Canon. His willingness to work long hours, even on weekends and holidays, has not gone unnoticed by his superiors at work. 'He's a real go-getter, that's for sure,' said Tim Bradley, the senior brand strategist on the Canon account. 'When I was his age, I was totally lost. I was working dead-end jobs and blowing paycheck after paycheck on partying. It wasn't until I was pushing 30 that I got my act together and started climbing the ladder. It's cool that Frank's got his eyes set on a corner office at 24.' Anderton, who majored in communications at the University Of Washington, has already received a 5 percent raise at work. 'I used to have to think about every concert ticket or restaurant meal I bought, but now that I have a salary, I can do whatever I want,' said Anderton, who puts nearly all of his $500 entertainment budget into savings each month. 'If I don't have time to cook, which I never do, I just order Chinese. I got an awesome flat-screen TV for my bedroom, so a lot of times I just sit on my bed or at my desk and eat while I watch television.' Anderton's 32-year-old brother Josh, who recently became a regional sales manager for Microsoft's enterprise server line, described his sibling's position as 'the best of both worlds.' 'On the one hand, he's got the freedom to do whatever he wants, and on the other, he's got a really solid five-year plan all mapped out,' Josh said. 'He's got such potential and such liberty, but he also has the wisdom to know that night after night of meaningless sex with women you meet while going out and having fun with your friends is really pretty hollow in the end.' Anderton said he hopes his quick success at Walsh & Billings doesn't cause problems with his coworkers. 'I don't want the other guys at work to envy me because I've got my whole life ahead of me,' Anderton said. 'I can tell that they're getting burnt out. They practically have to drag themselves into work after the weekend. But I come in each morning, fresh and ready to start another day. Just imagine where I'll be by the time I'm their age.' 'Yeah, I'm going to remember these years forever,' Anderton continued. 'I get to live in Seattle, I have my own super-sweet computer at work, and, since I don't have to get to the office until 10 a.m., I could theoretically stay out past midnight.' 
3	Number of gun companies refusing to sell to govt entities restricting gun rights triples in just two weeksMadison Ruppert That has radically changed recently with the number tripling in just two weeks. Now some 124 companies have joined the fight against restrictive gun laws according the Police Loophole, a website established to track companies that have taken the step to publicly announce that they will not sell items to states, counties, cities, and municipalities that restrict their citizens rights to own them. The number continues to rise and, according to Gregory Gwyn-Williams, Jr. of CNS News, In just two weeks, the number of companies participating in what has been named the Firearms Equality Movement, has more than tripled from 34 companies to 118. The number has now swelled to 124, although it is unclear where Gwyn-Williams, Jr. obtained the 118 number for his March 9 report since it should have been 123 on March 9, according to the Police Loopholes dates. Barrett summed up the movement well in writing, Barrett opposes those who are illegally disarming the American public from their efficient arms and creating superior armed elitist government agencies. The most recent company to join the fray, C. and H. Arms, revealed their decision in a Facebook post. Even though we love to support our nations law enforcement agencies, C. and H. Arms wrote, We will not sell any item to any agency that restricts said item to its civilians. Wilson Combat will no longer provide any products or services to any State Government imposing legislation that infringes on the second amendment rights of its law abiding citizens, wrote Ryan Wilson, Vice President of Wilson Combat. This includes any Law Enforcement Department, Law Enforcement Officers, or any State Government Entity or Employee of such an entity, Wilson continued. This also applies to any local municipality imposing such infringements. However, Wilson made it clear that they will continue to sell firearms to any citizen not affiliated with the government, so long as they can legally do so. Wilson Combat will in NO way support the government of these states or their anti-gun agenda that only limits the rights of law-abiding citizens. Wilson Combat will continue to supply any product and/or service they can legally sell in these states to all non-government affiliated citizens. For those who are not aware, the police loophole is the practice of some states, counties, cities and municipalities in the United States that restricts their citizens ability to fully exercise their right to keep and bear arms with restrictions such as magazine capacity or types of firearms, according to the Police Loophole. However, these government entities do not place these restrictions upon their own employees, such as police officers, thus clearly creating a loophole. It seems that the Firearms Equality Movement, based on closing this loophole and further discouraging gun control legislation is not going to slow down any time soon. It will be interesting to see how governments respond to this increasingly numerically powerful movement. Did I forget anything or miss any errors?

1	After nearly a minute of being stuck behind a slow-moving disabled woman on the sidewalk Monday, it reportedly remained unclear to 32-year-old sales manager Alex Tremont whether it would be acceptable for him to pass her or not. Jeez, what exactly am I supposed to do here? Tremont reportedly said to himself, mentally noting that if he briskly slipped by the slow-moving woman he might make her self-conscious of her impairment, and that if he bumped into her while trying to squeeze past he would feel just terrible. I suppose I could cross the street, get a block or so ahead, and then cross back, but how offensive would that be if she notices me doing it? Boy, maybe the best option is just to wait this out. After several more moments of intense thought, Tremont reportedly settled on the option of walking around the woman but giving her a warm, courteous nod to acknowledge her presence as he passed. 
2	Michigan Football Coach Jim Harbaugh Just Made An EPIC Stand Against Islam This Will Make You Proud Michigan Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh recently tweeted that he will be watching American Sniper with his team following a cancellation by the campus to screen the film. Michigan Football will watch American Sniper! Proud of Chris Kyle Proud to be an American if that offends anybody then so be it! the football coach wrote to his Twitter followers. The schools Center for Campus Involvement had scheduled a screening of the film, but cancelled the viewing shortly thereafter after receiving a petition started by Muslim student Lamees Makkaoui. The petition received around 200 signatures, and the school ended up showing Paddington instead of the important American story. Not long after that, the school changes their mind once again, claiming that it would show the film as originally planned to provide an appropriate space for dialogue and reflection. What do you think of Harbaughs stand for Chris Kyle? 
1	After a chance spotting of Danny DeVito at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday, vacationer Ted Appleby was surprised to find the actor to be a lot taller and thinner in person than he appears on screen. 'Based on the characters he plays, you're expecting something completely different, but I'm six-one, and he was almost at eye level, with a solid frame of lean muscle,' said Appleby, surmising that trick camera angles must have been used to make DeVito look like Arnold Schwarzenegger's shorter brother in the 1988 film Twins. 'And his face had these really sculpted, almost classical features. The camera really doesn't do him justice.' Appleby added that he couldn't believe the flaxen-haired Nordic woman standing next to DeVito in the terminal was the actor's longtime wife, Rhea Perlman. 
1	Porter Novelli public-relations executive Randy Schad, who works directly under megalomaniacal bastard Rich Frankel, is earning more than enough to put up with Frankel's unbelievable shit, the 25-year-old reported Monday. 'Normally, I'm not the type of person who'd put up with the kind of shit I take daily from Mr. Frankel,' Schad said, 'but my six-figure salary and unbelievable benefits package more than make up for it.' Schad said he'll probably only have to put up with Frankel's shit for another year or two, at which point he will receive a promotion and be able to dish out some shit of his own. 
2	NBC Reporter Calls Trump A Racist To His Face, Watch What Happens Immediately After... She Is Regretting That Decision If you still need convincing that the media is determined to destroy Trump, just take a look at this footage of an NBC reporter calling the Republican presidential nominee a racist. The clip comes from an event in Ohio. Colleen Marshall reportedly approached Trump and asked, Nineteen days out from the election, youve been labeled a racist, youve been called a sexist, how Thank you very much, he said as he started to walk away. How do you respond to that? Marshall shouted after him. I am the least racist person youve ever met, Trump confirmed. Marshall desperately tried to continue the interview, but Trump walked away. We dont blame him. There is no way he is going to win with the liberal media, who has taken every opportunity to twist his words and misrepresent him to the American public. Watch the interaction below and tell us what you think. 
2	Heidi Klum Goes After Trump, So He Fires Back With THIS [VIDEO] Following the GOP debate, the liberal media has done everything it can to paint Donald Trump has a misogynist who will not work for American women. While these claims are questionable, Trump did not do any favors for himself when he told the New York Times that 42-year-old supermodel Heidi Klum is no longer a 10. Although Trump continues to dominate the polls, with 25 per cent support among Republican voters according to Fox News, he is not the popular candidate among women. During the debates, Megyn Kelly called Trump out for calling Rosie ODonnell a fat pig. Now, this recent incident further highlights Trumps controversial attitude towards women. Heidi Klum fired back at Trump after his comments, in a video where she posed for a photographer with a T-shirt that says 10 in the front. Suddenly, a man wearing a Donald Trump mask rips the 10 from her chest, revealing a 9.99. Sometimes I do go a little bit far, Trump said in his interview with the New York Times. Heidi Klum. Sadly, shes no longer a 10. What do you think of Trumps comments? 
1	In a move that came as little surprise to members of the sports media, ESPN anchor Stuart Scott announced Wednesday that his left eye had signed a lucrative eight-year, $70 million deal with Fox Sports and would report to work within the next month. 'Though we did our best to hide it, usually by using thicker than normal glasses, I think people could easily tell that my left eye and I had been going in different personal and professional directions for some time,' Scott said during a press conference at which the eye was present, but elected to remain silent throughout, staring off to one side as Scott spoke. 'I wish it all the best in its future endeavors.' Fox Sports President Ed Goren said he has big plans for the eye, adding that its off-putting and distracting SportsCenter host has been holding it back for far too long. 
3	The Op: Unelected Agents Now Infiltrating Critical InfrastructuresBy Jon Rappoport A covert op for the ages: Technocracy United Technocracy: control of society by a technical elite Note to readers: the people in charge of, yes, running the future are counting on a populace who cant think beyond a few weeks or months. Thats their ace in the hole. The long-term future must always seem blurry and vagueand a waste of time to consider. Why? Its obvious. The people in charge are always building the long-term future, brick by brick, and if very few citizens can grasp what it looks like, how can they object or resist or sound an alarm? If you want to illegally take over an area, you need to invent an external threat justifying the takeover. Weve been seeing exactly that recently, as Russia has suddenly been painted as a hostile force trying to destroy our open democracy. Therefore, the Department of Homeland Security is now in charge of US elections, to combat the Russian hackers. And it isnt only elections. In the release, last Friday, that gave control of US elections to the Department of Homeland Security (a naked coup), we also have this, from ABC News: A 2013 presidential directive identified 16 sectors as critical infrastructures, including energy, financial services, health care, transportation, food and agriculture and communications. The designation announced Friday places responsibilities on the Homeland Security secretary to identify and prioritize those sectors, considering physical and cyber threats against them. The secretary is also required to conduct security checks and provide information about emerging and imminent threats. ABC got it wrong. The responsibilities (excluding elections) placed on the head of Homeland Security werent invented last Friday. They kicked off in 2013, and they represent a technocratic op to infiltrate and exert power over every aspect of American life. The 2013 Policy Directive, issued by President Obama, was titled: Critical Infrastructure Security and Review. It enumerated no less than 16 areas of so-called US critical infrastructure where Homeland Security would muscle in: Chemical; Commercial Facilities; Communications; Critical Manufacturing; Dams; Defense Industrial Base; Emergency Services; Energy; Final Services; Food and Agriculture; Government Facilities; Healthcare and Public Health; Information Technology; Nuclear Reactors, Materials, and Waste; Transportation Systems; Water and Wastewater Systems. These are the areas where the head of Homeland Security is expected to manage risk and strengthen security. HS will also, of course, take charge of integrating and monitoring ALL the data networks of these 16 sectors. It sounds reasonable to the average person. But the true theme is control. Planning, control, execution. Move in on these areas and exert operational command from the top. This IS, in fact, the technocratic blueprint for global management of a new system. Were talking about the re-engineering of society. Capturing the 16 areas (and their data) above was always the long-term aim, when the Department of Homeland Security was invented in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. If you recall, there was considerable grousing then about the word Homeland, because it emitted a strong whiff of Fascism. If the goal is engineering a new societyand it isall systems of data collection, communication, and surveillance must be gathered under one roof. The social and political engineer (aka the technocrat) views every person (unit) as a biological machine that must be profiled six ways from Sunday, for the purpose of inserting him into an overall pattern. As Patrick Wood explains in his brilliant book,Technocracy Rising, [technology] is being rapidly implementedto exhaustively monitor, measure and control every facet of individual activity and every ampere of energy delivered and consumed in the life of such individual[s]. In truth, the Dept. of Homeland Security is spearheading a movement to connect, cross reference, and integrate every major apparatus of data-collection in both the private and public sectors. This is the ongoing op. It is not partisan. It flies the banner of no political party. It pretends to protect the citizenry. But, in fact, it is the major long-term threat to the citizenry. It is planning a national and global civilization that does not ask for permission to exist. No one is voting, because if a vote were required, and people were informed about what is really happening, they would overwhelmingly reject technocracy. Which is why new enemies must be invented on a continuous basisto justify the proactive measures that will keep us safe. Homeland Security, with its 240,000 employees and its 24 agencies, is in the business of securing untold trillions of pieces of data for the forward march of Technocracy, Inc. Suppose, instead of the political-speak weve been treated to, the White House and Homeland Security released the unvarnished truth? Look, we need to collect, record, and store every possible datum on you and you and everyone. This isnt about our so-called enemies, this is about us, your controllers. This is about the future were planning for you. Somewhere up the road, when were ready, when we think we can get away with it, were going to announce that the planet is in a terminal energy crisis and shortage. Therefore, every person will receive a card that records his use and consumption of energy, and when his quota runs out, hell be without energy until the next time period. Get it? This is where were headed Again, as author Patrick Wood points out, when you encounter terms like sustainable economy, SmartGrid, green economy, Agenda 21, carbon taxes, cap and trade, and even Common Core (an indoctrination process for the young masked as education), youre looking at technocracy-in-progress. In fact, youre looking at declarations, in one form or another, about irreversible energy shortages that requite drastic solutions. Since 2013, when Obama announced the 16 areas where Homeland Security has to exert its authority, a new phase in the authoritarian ascent to a mountaintop of control, framed as scientific, has been underway. This is the long con, the long op. The bosses are counting on the inability of citizens to grasp what is going on. The bosses are counting on the passivity of citizens when it comes to thinking about a future of more than a few weeks or months. They are also counting on the citizen energy quotas I mentioned above sounding like nothing more than wild science fiction. Well, travel back, for a moment to, say, the 1960s. If someone had told you then, Your cell phones will be collecting data on you, and youll happily be profiling yourselves in great detail, for the government, on social media, you would have said, What mental institution did you escape from? What sounds like fiction becomes fact. (To read about Jons mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed which includes the Logic And Analysis course, click here.)

Worse, global Technocracy as it being planned has overwhelming Marxist overtones including social utility measurements of individuals.translating to an eventual goal of replacing currencies with energy credits in a system that decides how much each person deserves or needs. This is where China style social credit scores come in, already being developed for the rest of the world by outfits such as Singapore based Lenddo being bankrolled by Ebay billionaire Pierre Omidyar and the usual suspects who funded Facebook. BTW, the heart of Technocracy is the global smart grid. At least one global smart grid company involved with block chain technology payment systems is on target to fuse both into the energy credit format. https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/qiwi-blockchain-crimea-energy-project/ global Technocracy as it being planned has overwhelming Marxist overtones Youre a dupe, parroting right-wing disinformation. The billionaires are calling the shots, and this has nothing to do with Marxism. Under Marxism, there wouldnt be any billionaires. The system theyre implementing is called an oligarchy; rule by the wealthy. You missed the qualifier overtones and the relevance of Technocracys social credit score paradigm (along with the framework represented by Agendas 21 and 2030, the socio-political scaffolding of global technocracy). I post here all the time sharing the specifics on who and what comprises the top of the pyramid cap, international bankers, oligarchs, dynastic elites, multinational corporations, et al, overseeing the creation of their neofeudal global gulag and how theyre steadily entering a state of deep capture of all resources. Foreshadowed in the recently signed UN 2030 Paris Climate Treaty transferring control of the management of the worlds seas and oceans to multinational corporations (billionaires/oligarch fronts) and the UN, nicely summarized in a 12 min report by investigative journalist Spiro Skourasif youre inclined to check it out. Youd be better off doing your own original research than assuming and using aspersions dupe .right wing disinfo. I can back up my post with context and details if you need some help getting started. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=josKPWSGpY4 And there isnt a darn thing we can do about it either. As the writer points out, todays youth have been taught to accept as perfectly logical the need for individuals to relinquish privacy rights and to accept centralized control over every aspect of life. Meanwhile, those with any memory of what it was like to live in a free society age, retire, and pass on (Im 56); and the above-mentioned youth, trained to venerate the rule of experts as previous generations once venerated religion, take over and do (or allow) exactly what they were taught regardless of anything anyone in the past said. They think they must be the truly enlightened ones. After all, Jefferson and Madison couldnt order a pizza with a cell phone. I get your frustration and pessimism over the pervasive Stockholm syndrome youthful detachment from their own humanity, dumbed down, entrained entertained. Though, Im also like minded with the great Jon Rappoport that were only limited by our imaginations. If a small percentage of us step outside of the Matrix, all the way, exiting false constructs and learned helplessness, theres virtually no limit to the consciousness shifts we can create. TPTBs biggest fear, imo. Cheers. Theyll send their zombie hordes after those who break free from their reality control. I guess thats why the Marxists were funded by Wall Street (lol) In Karl Marxs Communist Manifesto, one of the 10 planks calls for a Centralization of all Banking. Right: And these bankers will be as dirt poor as the garbage men and toilet bowl cleaners, huh? No billionaires. too funny. Marxism is so bankrupt. and Oboingo sealed it shut. right wing and left wing disinfo comes from the same exact hegelian-dialectic orchestration. Face reality alan8. I remain optimistic. The great BLOWBACK has begun. Liberty only comes to those willing to fight for it, and kill predators and parasites who want to enslave you. See any of these brave and honorable types around in America anymore? Libertarians just want to discuss it and whine about the demise. 
3	Strike Back: Support Your Local Community Agriculture and Defund Big AgraAaron Dykes Just who is your local farmer, anyway? Well, it could be you, it could be a neighbor or friend you know personally, or it could be a producer from nearby whether you know them or not. Whoever that local farmer is, they surely need your support. Theres a lot of uncertainty and risk in producing food. As anyone who scans the news knows, harsh weather and increasing prices for food commodities, soil inputs, land and equipment all challenge the affordability of food, making it harder for the farmer to stay in business and more expensive for the average person to afford healthy food. This goes double for farmers who pay extra to raise organic food especially if they pay further premiums to have their crops certified USDA Organic, meaning extra costs for meeting standards, having food inspected and keeping up with documentation. Thats why Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) can be a useful model. This form of food production and distribution relies upon a voluntary network of community members who agree to buy into a particular farmers crop and, in turn, receive a weekly (or regular) share of the fruits of his labor, or in this case, fruits and vegetables. Community shares are also a viable option for dairy producers most notably raw milk producers as well as meat, egg, honey and just about any other kind of producer. Wikipedia defines Community Supported Agriculture (or Community-Shared Agriculture) as: an alternative, locally-based economic model of agriculture and food distribution. A CSA also refers to a particular network or association of individuals who have pledged to support one or more local farms, with growers and consumers sharing the risks and benefits of food production. CSA members or subscribers pay at the onset of the growing season for a share of the anticipated harvest; once harvesting begins, they receive weekly shares of vegetables and fruit, in a vegetable box scheme. Often, CSAs also include herbs, honey, eggs, dairy products and meat, in addition to conventional produce offerings.In theory a CSA can provide any product to its members, although the majority of CSA operations tend to provide produce, fruits, and various edibles. Some CSA programs also include cut flowers and various ornamental plants as part of their weekly pickup arrangement. Some CSAs provide for contributions of labor in lieu of a portion of subscription costs. The development of the concept is credited to Rudolf Steiner, who also heavily influenced the modern concept of organic farming and fostered what he termed biodynamic agriculture. Fresh experiences in local produce Melissa and I recently signed up for our first term of a CSA with Johnsons Backyard Garden, a local Austin-based certified Organic farm that literally originated in the actual backyard of founder Brenton Johnson and grew rapidly in scale through the farmers market over the last couple of years. For the second week in a row now, we picked up a box loaded with a variety of fresh veggies (see video above). Johnsons Backyard is known in particularly for their intensely flavorful carrots (which taste way better than anything sold in stores, including Organic brands), but I think should be equally known for their spring onions which has been introducing an entirely new sub-genre of onion flavor to stir fry dishes and salads in our home for the entire past week. Thanks to support from the community and plenty of hard work, Johnsons Backyard Garden boasts more than 1,000 CSA members (who pay for a share of veggies each week) and plenty more customers who buy individual bundles of the farms produce at Farmers Markets and in local grocery stores like Whole Foods and Wheatsville Co-op. At any rate, JBG even has a section on the website dedicated to a veggie guide particular to each weeks share to give you fast facts on sometimes less recognizable vegetables lurking in your share like Celeriac (celery root) or Kohlrabi and provides tips on storage, preparation, cooking and even recipes. Members of the community can support in a different way, too, by volunteering for a half day of backbreaking farm labor pitching in help with harvesting or packing produce in return for a weekly share of veggies and some experience with a highly successful organic gardening operation. Volunteering labor is so popular, Johnsons website claims, that members must RSVP days or even a week in advance just to work for free on the farm. Of course, Brenton Johnson didnt grow so rapidly into a $1 million per year plus operation just through community members and volunteers ALONE he had loans through the Farm Credit program and USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) but he DID also raise a great deal of the capitol he needed to expand to a bigger farm specifically through his CSA member-base who willingly put up investment capital to support local agriculture they believed in. According to a profile on Johnsons Backyard Garden published in Landscapes in 2010: Johnson gave farm members the opportunity to lend money to the farm. Members made loans for $5,000 to $10,000, and Johnsons Backyard Garden offered a return of 4 percent, paid back monthly over seven years. Johnsons Backyard Garden grew into a major local business in just the span of few short years in large part due to revenue raise and generated by conscientious consumers who choose to become CSA members and even backers in order to support a local, organic producer they believed in. 4% is not an investment worth writing home about, unless the money is really being invested in a value. After all, we are what we eat, and JBG has been growing better eats than most of the stuff found in grocery stores the farm is also now bigger than most CSAs would be. Support a viable alternative to Big Agras Get Big or Get Out Mentality But the point is that the model is worth supporting, and can provide a viable and growable alternative to Big Agra-based production, where farmers are reportedly often bullied into getting big or getting out (as Nixon-era USDA Secretary Earl Butz was known for uttering). Instead, communities could support reputable local farmers by sustaining both their market and their crop, while reaping the benefits. Whatever one thinks of Johnsons quick success, it happened contingent upon the support of the local community and that means something important in a modern world increasingly dominated by Monsanto and perhaps a dozen major food manufacturers. And there are other Community Supported Agriculture operations with lower profiles and smaller operations than Johnson (among the larger CSAs) all perhaps closer to home than you think. Try one of these resources, or use a search engine to find a CSA near you: RESOURCE: Find a CSA Near You: Whether it happens in your own backyard, down the street or in a nearby town, supporting your local farmer is a viable and important part of defunding Big Agra, diffusing the production of food and helping to (re)vitalize the availability of healthy and sustainable food (including Organic and other responsible systems of raising food). To change the (food) system, we have to change our habits including what we choose to eat, where we choose to buy it and what kind of standards we choose to uphold. Buy into whatever you believe in, but dont just stand by idle. Contributed by Aaron Dykes of Nutritional Anarchy. 
1	SPIRIT LAKE, IAOn an ordinary day, amiable dim-bulb Jeff Koegle wanders into many places: his den, the bowling alley, maybe the local Spee-D-Kustard, which is only a three-block dawdle from his house. For as long as anyone in Spirit Lake can remember, this burly goof has schlepped along the road of life with neither purpose nor reason. Another day in the life of directionless oaf Jeff Koegle. 'I like to whistle sometimes when I'm going along,' Koegle said. 'Or maybe hum a tune that was on the radio last place I was.' Koegle added: 'Once, I heard a meow outside by the dumpster by Hardy's. It was a box of kitties. They let me keep one. I named him Yellow.' In his 34 years, Koegle has plodded his way through high school, two homes, an eight-year marriage, a series of mindless jobs, and the occasional boat show. The easily distracted boob has left no lasting legacy, save for an occasional knocked-over cup or upset magazine rack. 'I accidentally slapped a guy's soda out of his hand in line at the movies once,' Koegle said. 'Now he's a good friend.' Koegle's aimless blunderings occasionally trigger major developments in his life, which isn't saying much, because if it weren't for sheer happenstance, he would have no experiences at all. 'Once, when I was getting off the bus, I saw some little TVs in the window of a store,' said Koegle, his doughy mitts hanging limply at his sides. 'I went into the store, and I had a nice chat with a salesgal, and she asked me out on a date. Now that gal's my wife.' Longtime friends and associates say Koegle's oafish good cheer is as constant as his characteristic outfit: a sweatshirt, jeans, and a Salem windbreaker. 'Sometimes Jeff will come by, hang out for a bit,' said friend Dan Werner, who graduated from high school with Koegle in 1989. 'We'll maybe watch hockey or go get a bite to eat if one of us is hungry. After a while, he'll say, 'Well, guess I ought to get going,' and he'll take off.' Local merchant Evan Rasmussen Jr., proprietor of Rasmussen Dime & Drug, sold Koegle gum throughout the '90s. '[The lummox] wouldn't come in with any regularity, but once in a while he'd amble through,' Rasmussen said. 'When he'd grab the gum from the display, he'd muss up all the other packets of gum on the rack. I would always have to straighten them out after he left.' Eventually, Rasmussen asked Koegle to straighten the gum himself. Koegle has been working at Rasmussen Dime & Drug ever since. Koegle's wife Jeannette, 30, shared a more intimate view of the shambling clod. 'Yesterday during breakfast, I told Jeff to try taking charge of his life more, because I know he has it in him to make it happen,' Jeannette said. 'I could tell he was considering what I said, but then he seemed to forget all about it when the potato pancakes were served.' At home on his recliner, Koegle said he is 'just fine with' his directionless life. He added that he 'pretty much fell into it.' 'I guess I wouldn't mind working a few more hours at Rasmussen's here and there, but Jeannette and me are doing fine,' Koegle said. 'My cousin Jerry [Morris] wants us to move out to Wisconsin and work with him at the window-blind factory that's always hiring, and I think that might be nice, but to be honest, I don't give it a lot of serious thought.' Minutes after this confession, Koegle was fast asleep. At the close of another day, the stumblebum once again failed to conceive of a single quest, great or small. Yellow in his lap, he remained on the recliner through the night, his unconscious mind doubtlessly dancing with images of found sawbucks and crab apples. 
2	U.S. Born Muslim Who Left America To Join ISIS Gets A Severe Dose Of Instant Karma According to recent reports, two Americans who recently fled the United States to join ISIS faced some serious consequences for their actions. 33-year-old Ahmad Abousamra and Abu Osama al-Amriki are presumed dead after an airstrike by the Iraqi military in Anbar. The pair were believed to be involved in ISIS propaganda videos as well as several beheading videos. Abousamra, originally France, has been tracked by American authorities since 2006, when he was first questioned and believed to be traveling to Iraq to join terrorist forces. Later that year, he slipped out of the country to flee to Syria. Just three years later, he was officially charged with involvement in a terrorist attack in Boston. He even made the FBIs Most Wanted List. Now, many believe he was the head behind ISISs social media campaign. Little information has been released on Abu Osama al-Amriki, on the other hand, though the Iraqi military called him an ISIS documentary filmmaker. What do you think of the two terrorists? Did they get what they deserve? 
2	Welfare Abusers Everywhere Just Got Hit With Some Horrible News According to recent reports, the Pennsylvania House is very close to passing a bill that will ban some citizens who have been convicted of selling drugs from receiving welfare benefits. Representatives will vote on July 21. Republican Representative Mike Regan of Dillsburg, who used to work for the U.S. Marshals Service, introduced the measure after witnessing firsthand drug dealers with thousands of dollars in cash receiving welfare benefits at the expense of tax payers. Someone with such large sums of cash doesnt need government assistance, Regan told reporters. I truly believe in the welfare system. There are people who truly need it and I get that. They are the people who get shortchanged, and we want to stop that. They truly need the benefits and its being siphoned off by those who dont. The bill would mean that anyone sentenced to five to 10 years in prison for certain drug crimes while receiving public assistance will be banned from the system for 20 years. It only covers those with felony charges. Im not attempting to be coldhearted, Regan told reporters. Critics of the bill believe that it may encourage drug dealers to return to their previous criminal activities in order to make ends meet. What do you think of Regans proposal? 
3	Going Away Gift: Obama Just Expanded Surveillance Powers For Donald TrumpBy Josie Wales As he hands the White House to Trump, Obama just unchained NSA from basic limits on passing raw intercepts to others, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden tweeted Thursday. Gone are the already flimsy privacy protections that required NSA analysts to review data before handing it over to other agencies like the CIA, DEA, DHS, or others. Whereas prior restrictions required analysts to shield the identities of innocent parties and other personal data before sharing only the information deemed pertinent, there are now no filters whatsoever. All agencies will have the freedom to dig through raw signals intelligence information under the new procedures, which were signed by Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch. After evaluating the information, the agencies can apply rules minimizing violations of privacy. Thats correct only after privacy has been violated can it be protected. Thats not exactly how it works, but it is now the law according to Section 2.3 of Executive Order 12333. The document was originally signed on December 15, 2016, by the director of national intelligence, James R. Clapper Jr. Accordingto Clappers general counsel, Robert S. Litt: This is not expanding the substantive ability of law enforcement to get access to signals intelligence. It is simply widening the aperture for a larger number of analysts, who will be bound by the existing rules. ACLU lawyer Pat Toomey disagrees, explaining: Rather than dramatically expanding government access to so much personal data, we need much stronger rules to protect the privacy of Americans. Seventeen different government agencies shouldnt be rooting through Americans emails with family members, friends and colleagues, all without ever obtaining a warrant. The new procedures require agencies to submit written requests to the NSA describing the raw signals intelligence sought, how it will be used, how it will further its mission in a significant way, and why the information could not be obtained through other sources. While the purpose of Executive Order 12333 is to target foreign and counter-intelligence only, if an agency uncovers information that incriminates an American citizen, the agency is required to turn the evidence over to the Justice Department. Many of the requirements listed in the document for targeting American citizens have been redacted. And if all else fails, any U.S. Intelligence Agency can legally obtain personal information on any citizen with no warrant under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act. However, with these new procedures in place, that may not be necessary anymore. If Barack Obama is so concerned about a Trump presidency, why is he giving the future president such a terrifying amount of power?

Stick it to the citizens to lose some privacy. A gift to Trump, indeed. But they just cant seem to see the Clinton Foundation For Laundering Bribes and Enriching the Clintons . He studied calligraphy at Columbia, where he learned to sign his own nameso cuteyet nothing upstairs. I find it interesting that you say (and I am assuming you are referring to President Elect Trump. (not President Obama who signed this further abuse to privacy?). If so, how do you match a man who has built a a vast, profitable and effective business with a comment like yet nothing upstairs? The latest expansion of the Trump Empire, the Washington DC Trump hotel, is one of the few major projects in America in the past 10 years to come in under budget and on time. That to me suggests a whole lot up there! The upside to all of this is that Trump can use Obamas and the democrats own tactics against them. 
3	3D Printing Houses and the Barn-Raising of TomorrowBrian Berletic From pictures published by the International Business Times and a video by RT (seen below) the designs are simple, and based around what we typically think of when considering a house. However, just as small-scale 3D printing was first used to make conventional products but eventually adapted to take advantage of the unique manufacturing process to create entirely new patterns, products, and possibilities large, gantry-style 3D printers for architecture will yield exciting new forms and possibilities, not just in terms of construction but also in terms of how, by whom, and for whom that architecture is made. WinSuns project is not the first application of printing architecture. D-Shape in Italy has been experimenting with 3D printed architectural forms for years and world-renowned architectural firm Foster + Partners has proposed the technology be used for constructing outposts on the moon. Barn raising was a European-American tradition in which a community would gather together in cooperation to build a barn for one of their neighbors. It is still practiced today in parts of America by the Amish, but the concept of community, let alone a community gathering together to build a neighbor a dwelling has become a scarcity. This is mostly due to the current sociotechnological paradigm that makes such efforts costly in both time and money. Technology, however, appears to be changing that. Networks of hackerspaces (also sometimes called makerspaces) have begun stretching across cities around the world. Even here in Thailand we have the well-equipped Bangkok Makerspace. These have become an epicenter for rebuilding our communities in both social dimensions as well as physical dimensions. With computer-controlled manufacturing such as laser cutters and 3D printers, members of hackerspaces can collaborate on designing and constructing just about anything. The WinSun company in China and others like D-Shape in Italyhave proven that anything includes architecture. The result may be a shifting paradigm where housing is no longer as capital intensive and no longer seen as an individual undertaking accomplished through hired labor, but as an opportunity for collaboration. Just as projects in hackerspaces today originate from one member, but become a collective learning experience with possible economic opportunities for others, developing and raising architecture locally can likewise serve as a collective experience everyone can benefit from. Just as was the case with barn raising in European-American history, the practice of collaborative architecture may become yet another means of gluing back together our local communities. What Can We Do Today? The average hackerspace has small table-top 3D printers for product design and prototyping and perhaps a larger CNC laser cutter or water jet. Architectural models can be made on them, but actual architectural projects are still out of reach. Hacker communities might begin with small CNC cut shelters like Open Source Ecologys CNC Shelter. From there, it is only a matter of scaling up. The possibility of producing construction material using recycled materials processed through existing or hacked community tools to then build structures in a more conventional manner might also be an experimental first step toward collaborative architecture. Concepts like crowdsourcing and crowdfunding may already be modern analogues to the old days of barn raising, but with houses literally being printed using the same technology found in our local hackerspaces (just on a larger scale) hi-tech barn raisings of tomorrow may be just around the corner. Brian Berletic writes for Progress Thailand where this article first appeared.Progress Thailand wants to be the voice of a new grassroots movement covering everything from farmers markets and organic agriculture to makerspaces and local education. We seek to connect promising concepts, projects, and campaigns to a growing community of doers. If you are involved with making progress happen or would like to participate, join us at Progress Thailand. While we focus on Thailand, we cover exciting events across all of the worlds open-source, collaborative communities. Their success is ours, and ours is theirs. Together we will move forward. So if its a hackerspace in Singapore, an organic farm on Long Island, or a new open course offered online from India, you will find it here. 
3	Spying in the German Banana RepublicVladimir Platov The general secretary of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) Yasmin Fahimi called for the adoption of a list of effective countermeasures that would allow Germany to protect its national secrets from being stolen by Washington. Speaking on national TV, Yasmin Fahimi said that: We are not yet another banana republic. The incident involving a CIA spy uncovered within the BND ranks was perceived by most Europeans as total nonsense: a total of 218 top secret documents were stolen from BND by a 31-year-old employee, Marcus R., over a period of two years while he was cooperating with the friendly CIA. The White House was paying the loyal agent according to the banana republic, rates up to and including 25 thousand euros, omitting glass beads and colored feathers. However, according to the German newspaper Bild, the investigation found out this January that this double agent had provided the US intelligence with a list of 3,500 BND employees, all who are currently working across the world. This can hardly be regarded as an expression of Washingtons friendship towards Germany. Such aggressive US intelligence activities in Germany has become commonplace, but no prominent politician of this vassal state yet has voiced his concerns over this fact. Indeed, within the last few years, according to the German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung, BND has been transferring the personal data of German citizens to the US National Security Agency (NSA), via the worlds largest center-neutral Internet exchange point DE-CIX in Frankfurt. According to the newspaper, the NSA has been intercepting up to 500 million phone calls and Internet messages in Germany per month. And all this was done despite the fact that private information is protected by the German Constitution; yet it seems that the well-being of its big brother is by far more important to German politicians that their own Constitution. In addition, the NSA had made a number of attempts to use DE-CIX to obtain a profile on the European Aerospace and Defense group and its French management, a fact released by Edward Snowden last year. According to numerous publications in Bild and Sonntag, more than a dozen employees of German ministries and departments are still working as CIA informants. One should note that a sharp increase in US intelligence activities against Germany have been observed as early as October 2013, when Edward Snowden announced that the CIA and NSA tapped all of Angela Merkels phones. The scandal was followed by a phone conversation on this matter between the German Counselor and the US President in January 2014. Shortly after, the US declared a policy of no spying against the leaders of friendly countries. In response to the revealed information about the phone tapping at the end of 2013, Merkel established a committee to investigate foreign electronic surveillance, which included representatives from the ruling parties the Conservatives and the Social Democrats along with green and left opposition figures. However, the latter stated that the committee is not interested in a thorough investigation of all the circumstances of US intelligence activities in Germany due to the desire to avoid the deterioration of relations between fellow states Germany and the United States. England, speaking as the most loyal vassal of Washington, has been trying to justify recent US intelligence activities in Germany on the pages of the online magazine The Daily Beast, by trying to convince the audience that the need for surveillance over Germany is a must given its intense business and political ties to Russia and Iran, and Moscows decades-long cultivation of intelligence assets and collaborators from the first Cold War up through the current one, American intelligence agencies would be crazy not to conduct intensive espionage operations in Germany. Last summer, while referring to the scandal surrounding the activities of US intelligence in Germany, the President of the European Commission , Jean-Claude Juncker in an interview with foreign journalists noted that there may be a crisis of trust between the EU and the US and that authorities must try to explain to their American partners that friends are listening to each other, but dont wiretap each other. According to Juncker this incident could lead to a crisis of confidence not only in regards to transatlantic relations, but also among EU citizens. Its hard not to sympathize with Germanys hardships and the lack of decency its citizens face, therefore its only natural that anti-American sentiments will grow. According to surveys, more than half of Germans believe in these circumstances that its dangerous to cooperate with the US ever more closer and they expect their Chancellor to give Washington a response, the one Angela Merkel had promised to give last year, but never dared. Still, if Washington has been treating Germany like a regular banana republic, one can only imagine what it has been doing to smaller countries in Europe, across the Middle East, and in Southeast Asia as well. And maybe none of these countries are actually aware of what is going on if their citizens have been reading the White House propaganda outlets that havent touched upon the illegal activities of American intelligence agencies elsewhere around the world? Vladimir Platov, Middle East expert, exclusively for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook where this first appeared. 
3	Israel Accused of Organ Harvesting in Costa RicaKevin Samson The patients who required the transplants were in Israeli territory, and some of the (trafficking) victims [had their kidney removed] here and others were transported to Israel. () The prosecutor explained that the organization has branches in Israel and Eastern Europe, though did not elaborate, citing the ongoing investigation. This arrest highlights the wider problem of organized human organ trafficking, as well as Israels role as the centerpiece for this disgusting practice. It is something that Israel as been accused of many times before. The Costa Rica scandal hints at something broader than what has been uncovered with the arrest of Dr. Francisco Mora Palma. Also taken into custody was a police officer who apparently was connected to the doctor as a scout to look for potential donors. Several other private facilities were raided as well. Israels newspaper, Haaretz, offers some background: In recent years Costa Rica has served as a destination for Israeli patients needing kidney transplants. The price for a kidney transplant on the black market is estimated at some NIS 700,000 per kidney. Costa Rican police together with Interpol are now investigating the case of a young woman who had been sent to Israel to donate a kidney, felt bad on the flight back, was taken off it at an interim stop and died. At this point it looks like the donors were paid anywhere between $16,000 and $20,000, but there have been many other cases within the Israeli organ harvesting network where the donations were anything but voluntary. There are already other kidnapping cases in Costa Rica that are being investigated with possible ties to an international crime ring; one reportedly involves a 15-year-old girl. This article will be updated as more information is revealed and verified. As Attorney General Chavarria stated, this is likely just the tip of the iceberg. Israel has in fact admitted to harvesting organs from many countries, including its own citizens. The Guardian reported on this in 2009, but Israel claims that the practice has now ceased: Israel has admitted pathologists harvested organs from dead Palestinians, and others, without the consent of their families a practice it said ended in the 1990s Channel 2 TV reported that in the 1990s, specialists at Abu Kabir harvested skin, corneas, heart valves and bones from the bodies of Israeli soldiers, Israeli citizens, Palestinians and foreign workers, often without permission from relatives. The Israeli military confirmed to the programme that the practice took place, but added: This activity ended a decade ago and does not happen any longer. However, there have been many reports from Haiti, Palestine and Ukraine in particular that call this statement into serious question. More information can be found in the source links posted below. As reported by Missing Children International, organ harvesting is among the top 10 reasons that children go missing: Can you imagine having the need of life and searching the Internet and finding a broker who can find you the organ of your choice? Here in the U.S.A., in Mexico, El Salvador, Costa Rica, anywhere in Central, North and South America, anywhere for a price you can pay for and get the organ of your choice. If you dont believe it, search the net right here right now in Orange County, New York or anyplace in the world. Many missing children are abducted and sold for these body parts. This is a multi-million dollar a year business. (emphasis added) While kidnapping and violent crime are still relatively low in Costa Rica, there is a tendency to put a lid on bad press since the small country derives a high percentage of its income from tourism. Hopefully, this story will gain traction and will spur further investigation to find out just how deeply entrenched are the ties to Israel and its organ harvesting network, as well as alert others who might be involved that Costa Rica is taking this issue very seriously.

2	Anderson Cooper Looses His Sh*t On Live TV After Trump Gets Elected [WATCH] The mainstream media spent months trying to convince the American public that Donald Trump had no chance of winning the presidency. So it was interesting to watch the same reporters who had been pushing for Hillary Clinton announce that he had won the election. Anderson Cooper, for example, virtually disappeared as Trump inched closer to taking it all. Sources have confirmed he was too upset to appear on air. Though he is one of CNNs most prominent personalities, he left Wolf Blitzer and Jake Taper to do most of the final coverage. Blitzer has also come under fire for refusing to accept the fact that Trump had won. Throughout his coverage, one Twitter user described him as trying to desperately resuscitate the Clinton corpse as he was calling states for Trump. If Hillary Clinton has conceded, that is dramatic, Blitzer said. That is a dramatic development, Dana, and to hear the words president-elect, we havent yet projected thatbut youre saying Clinton made a formal call to Donald Trump to concede? What do you think? Are these reporters finally eating their words? 
1	Despite having no natural enemies and belonging to a species that completely dominates its ecosystem, local IT manager Reggie Atkinson opted to consume the processed corn snack Bugles Monday. 'I was in the mood for something salty and crunchy, and it's a little early for dinner,' said the ultimate predator, whose ancestors' bipedal locomotion, toolmaking abilities, and advanced spatial recognition developments allowed them to hunt animals 10 times their size. 'These are original, but the other flavors are pretty good, too.' Acting on an impulse from an incredibly complex forebrain that has evolved over millions of years, Atkinson then took note of the Bugles' amusing conical shape and placed one on each of his opposable thumbs like little wizard hats.

2	BREAKING: 2016 Presidential Candidate Found Dead At Cleveland Motel According to reports, 56-year-old Dr. Marc A. Feldman of Cleveland was found dead on Wednesday at the Americas Best Value Inn near the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. Feldman was reportedly a fearless advocate for liberty who sought the Libertarian Partys nomination for president. No official cause of death has been reported. Feldman lost the Libertarian nomination in May to former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson. He had been called the No fear candidate. In one of his more memorable moments, he rapped his concluding statement at the Libertarian convention. Im that be what you want to be Libertarian, he began. That Muslim Libertarian, that Jew Libertarian, the Christian, Atheist, Hin-DU Libertarian. Several leaders have offered statements in memory of Feldman. We will miss his dedication as a member of the national committee and candidate for public office, but most of all, I will miss a good friend, Nicholas Sarwark, chairman of the partys national committee commented. He was a delightful, spirited, and dedicated Libertarian who inspired and won the hearts of many. Our deepest condolences to his family on their loss. Dr. Feldman was truly a beacon of unity and empowerment within the party, Avens OBrien wrote in The Libertarian Republic. His campaign website was www.votesnotforsale.com during his campaign he refused to accept supporting donations higher than $5. His campaign slogan was Empower Yourself, and focused on encouraging individuals to achieve greater power and control over their own lives.

1	In an announcement that has reportedly set Silicon Valley abuzz, representatives from ambitious social media startup Woo Woo confirmed Monday they had developed a long-term three-month business plan for the future of their firm. As a company that has, from its very inception nine days ago, been focused on the forefront of interactivity, we at Woo Woo are proud to say we have laid out a rock-solid plan for our company that will guide us for weeks and even months to come, read a company press release, which refrained from mentioning Woo Woos business aims, user features, or general purpose whatsoever, yet included the words exclusive online community a total of 63 times. Though the world of startups is notoriously volatile, we can announce with confidence that our aggressive 90-day strategy will ensure Woo Woo remains a lasting presence in the social media landscape through mid-September and perhaps beyond. With an online platform this disruptive, we are confident that users will flock to us by the millions and will continue to engage with our brand through the entire summer of 2014. With such an ambitiously long timeline laid out before it, Woo Woo is already in private beta and was recently awarded $13 million in seed funding that company officials confirmed will be carefully allocated to inflated executive salaries, break room foosball table maintenance, and a branding division devoted entirely to rhetorically veiling what exactly the company actually does. 
1	Following up on his assertion that Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is not Houston Texanworthy, Texans quarterback Matt Schaub released a comprehensive list to the media Tuesday cataloging who he believes deserves a place on the teams 53-man roster. The following people are worthy of playing for the Houston Texans: Larry Fitzgerald, Peyton Manning, Brian Urlacher, Aldon Smith, Sebastian Janikowski, said Schaub, reading an excerpt from the 10,000-name list, which he told reporters was compiled according to who these people are and what they stand for. Additionally, Aaron Rodgers is a Texans-quality person, as are Deion Sanders, Walter Payton, Merlin Olsen, Rosa Parks, Dennis Rodman, Warren Buffett, my wonderful parents, Johnny Unitas, Suri Cruise, Manti Teo, Genghis Khan, Calvin Johnson, and the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Schaub confirmed that only one current Texan is included on the list: second-string fullback Tyler Clutts. 
2	Obama Refusing To Let US Military Pray For Absurd Reason According to recent reports, the Pentagon has released a statement that confirms that soldiers could be prosecuted for promoting their faith. The statement follows a meeting between Pentagon appointees and Mikey Weinstein, head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, in a collaborative effort to develop court-martial procedures that would prevent Christians in the military from expressing their faith. According to their statement: Religious proselytization is not permitted within the Department of DefenseCourt martials and non-judicial punishments are decided on a case-by-case basis. Being convicted in a court martial means that a soldier is being charged with breaking federal military law. Punishment can include imprisonment or being dishonorably discharged. Essentially, the Administration just made it a crime, punishable by imprisonment, for those in uniform fighting for our country to share their faith. The FRC has launched a petition which has already collected over 400,000 signatures, to stop the government from working with Weinstein. 
2	BREAKING: Ghost From Obamas Past Comes Back To Haunt Him... This Is His Worst Nightmare Since the very beginning of his first campaign, President Barack Obama has claimed to be a man of the people. That platform helped him earn the vote of the less fortunate, who hoped that he could turn things around for him. Now, a new meme that shows just the type of man he is has gone viral. And it proves hes not even close to being the man he pretends to be. The picture shows a black woman holding a picture of a young Barack. She lived in a homeless shelter for 2 years. Lived in Government housing for 10 years. As an illegal alien, the meme reads. Her nephew is a multimillionaire. He claimed $87,000 in charitable donations. But never gave her a dime. His name is Barack Obama. What do you think of this meme? Obamas actions have always spoken louder than his words, but this is absolutely ridiculous. Were counting down the days until hes out of the White House for good. 
2	Ben Carson Has Announced Hes Changing Political Parties According to recent reports, Ben Carson has officially changed his political party from Independent to Republican. The Washington Times reports that Carson is hoping to run for president in 2016 and does not want to split an electorate. Its truly a pragmatic move because I have to run in one party or another, Carson told reporters. If you run as an independent, you only risk splitting the electorate. Carson has a history of changing his political standing. When he was younger, he was a part of the Democratic Party. God it just makes so much sense, said Ronald Reagan once said. Let me investigate this.

Hey guys, whats going on? said the upbeat little prick who woke up at 6:30 a.m. sharp, ate a full breakfast, and exercised for 90 minutes before jumping on the train and strolling into the office with enough time to brew a fresh pot of coffee. Anyone got anything big on the agenda this weekend? At press time, employees had reportedly cheered up after sales associate Todd Meier arrived visibly exhausted and hungover.

3	New Hampshire Becomes 19th State to Legalize Medical MarijuanaPhillip Smith Allowing doctors to provide relief to patients through the use of appropriately regulated and dispensed medical marijuana is the compassionate and right policy for the state of New Hampshire, and this legislation ensures that we approach this policy in the right way with measures to prevent abuse, Hassan said in asigning statement. By providing strong regulatory oversight and clear dispensing guidelines, this bill addresses many of the concerns that were expressed throughout the legislative process, she continued. House Bill 573 legalizes the use of medical marijuana in a way that makes sense for the State of New Hampshire and gives health providers another option to help New Hampshires seriously ill patients. This legislation is long overdue and comes as a relief to the many seriously ill patients throughout New Hampshire who will benefit from safe access to medical marijuana, said Matt Simon, a New Hampshire-based legislative analyst for the Marijuana Policy Project. Those suffering from debilitating conditions like cancer and multiple sclerosis deserve legal, safe, and reliable access to medical marijuana. Language that would have allowed patients to grow their own was removed from the bill in the Senate at Gov. Hassans request after the bill had already passed the House. Hassan cited law enforcement concerns about diversion. The vast majority of Americans recognize the medical benefits of marijuana and believe people with serious illnesses should have safe and legal access to it, Simon said. We applaud our elected officials for enacting a law to protect patients, and we hope legislators in other states will follow suit. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia now have medical marijuana laws. Illinois could be number 20; a bill passed the legislature there in May and awaits the governors signature.

2	Texas Takes MASSIVE Stand Against Obama... He Is Livid Texas has an interesting history. It was an independent nation from 1836 to 1845 before it became part of the United States, earning it the name of The Lone Star Republic. Now, according to recent reports, Texas may be working to return to its independent roots and secede from the United States. Texas recently announced that they intend to keep its gold holdings within its own borders. That adds up to approximately 5,600 bars or $650 million. The decision was approved by the conservative community, who fear that there is little hope in the long-term viability of the federal government, especially in the hands of Barack Obama. Just moving it [from Manhattan to Texas] would be pretty expensive and unless Texas is anticipating withdrawing from the Union, which I suspect is some peoples want, I dont see what advantage it is, Edwin Truman, a senior fellow at the Washington-based Peterson Institute for International Economics told reporters. I think Texas is once again showing theyre ahead of the curve, James Rickards, author of The Death of Money: The Coming Collapse of the International Monetary System told reporters. What do you think? Do you support Texas in this move? 
3	Is Your Child a Student or a Slave?Back to school sure isnt the same as it used to be. But now students have a whole new batch of problems. Will their jewelry set off the metal detectors as they enter the school? Will they have to crouch behind a desk in fear as a gunman shoots up the place? In the case of Chicago, will they be shot as they cross gangland borders on their walk to school? Will they be terrorized during an unannounced live shooter drill as was the case in Rossford, Ohio? Will they be ensconced for the day in a prison-like setting, with grates on the windows and heavy steel doors? We have recently moved, and my 13 year old daughter attends a very small charter school with a partial homeschool program. The curriculum focuses on independent studies and science, and a large percentage of her work is done at home under my supervision. Critical thinking and personal responsibility make up the cornerstone philosophies of the school. We were very excited about this educational opportunity for her A couple of days ago, I read to my daughter this headline by Heather Callaghan from selfnews Post: School Pressured to Stop Making Kids Kneel Before the Principal Imagine my shock when she told me, We have to do that. It makes me feel weird. I quizzed her further. Apparently, each time the teacher blows the whistle at the end of recess, the students are all supposed to face that teacher and kneel on the ground. She told me that the first time it happened, the other kids were whispering to her, Get down, Rosie, you have to kneel. I asked her how it made her feel. Like Im worthless. Like the teachers are better than me. I feel sort of embarrassed inside, but I didnt say anything because it doesnt seem to bother the other kids. The official response from the schools in San Bernadino, California was that the policy was there to maintain order and keep the children safe they called it positive behavior intervention. Because of parental outrage, they have done away with this policy. How do you create a victim? How do you create a victim? By teaching a person that things that make them uncomfortable must be done anyway. By teaching them to silence that inner voice that tells them something is wrong. By teaching them that they must submit to someone elses control, regardless of how it makes them feel. I told my daughter that she never has to do this again. I said to stand politely or line up, but never should she do something that makes her feel degraded. Ive written a letter to the school board, the principal, and her teachers explaining to them that my daughter will not be participating in this policy. I moved back to the United States with my daughter because I was seeking the liberty and freedom that I grew up with. Imagine my shock when Rosie told me that they are required to kneel when the whistle is blown at the end of recess. Moving to America, the country that is the symbol for freedom worldwide, I was astonished that children are being taught to display such subservience to authority figures. This, however unintentionally, sets them up to be victims and teaches them that they are lesser than other people. I have discussed this at length with my daughter. While I am sure that the intention is not to be demeaning or belittling, in our opinion, it is. So, Rosie has been instructed to stand quietly and respectfully instead of kneeling. It is not a practice that, in good conscience, I can allow my child to participate in. I opted for a school that would teach her to think critically with that in mind, I must respect her right to refuse to participate in something that makes her feel degraded. Historically, in monarchies, subjects kneel to show their subservience to someone of a higher status a king, nobleman, emperor, or tsar. In feudal times, peasants and serfs bowed to the lords of the estates. Kneeling is a disciplinary measure in prisons and detainment facilities. This method was used in concentration camps during World War II to subdue prisoners. These examples all have one thing in common genuflection has always been a display that meant one person was acknowledging the superiority of another. In many religions, a supplicant voluntarily kneels to show reverence to God. Subjects, prisoners, and slaves bow down to authority figures. A free man, woman, or child should never be compelled to display submission in this manner. When children are exposed to this type of ritual at an early age, it programs them to find subservience acceptable. It shuts off that little mechanism in their developing awareness that says, This makes me feel bad. It teaches them that this is normal and appropriate. Bowing down to another person should never be normal or appropriate in the United States of America. Will my child continue her education at this school? Yes, at least for now. I want to teach her to do the right thing, and I believe the right thing is to resist when we see tyranny encroaching into our daily lives. By refusing to accept this as normal, we are by our actions deeming it loudly and clearly unacceptable. By simply walking away, our silence would allow this to continue happening to other children. UPDATE: Im delighted to follow up on this mornings article. I received an email in reply from the principal at my daughters school. He stated that after reading my strong feelings about the matter, he can assure me the practice will no longer be continued at the school. Resistance works.

2	Soldiers Kill ISIS Terrorists, Pose Next To Their Bloody Corpses According to recent reports, a group of soldiers decided to turn the tables on ISIS, the terrorist groups who are known not only for their violent exploits, but also for capturing them on film. According to recent reports, the soldiers decided to take a few photographs of their own. In the pictures, a group of Iraqi soldiers and Sunni tribesmen are seen hovering over the bodies of Islamic State militants, after successfully killing them in a firefight. The terrorists had launched an attack on a military post, which wounded an Iraqi governor, as well as a senior colleague of the men. One image even shows the Iraqi soldier holding up a victory sign, with one foot on the chest of his defeated enemy. Others simply show the soldiers smiling as they collect the corpses. 
2	Obama Takes Blame For Worst Military Technology MisObama is trying so hard to take away guns from Americans citizens. And yet here he is, sending sensitive military technology to other countries (and the wrong countries). Obama sent a Hellfire missile to Cuba that was supposed to be sent to Europe. How a mis-shipment like this happens, we are unsure. This loss of sensitive military technology is among the worst that the U.S. has ever seen, and is by far the worst mis-shipment. The specifics of what makes this missile so special have clearly not been released, as it is sensitive information. Obama is under fire for this mis-shipment, that many people believe to have been a deliberate move. Do you think Obama sent Cuba our military technology on purpose? 
1	The Byzantine Empire, the Eastern continuation of the Roman Empire, is in grave danger and will soon fall to united armies of Ottoman Turks, Cornell University history professor Wallace Schroeder warned Monday. In a speech delivered to more than 300 students, Schroeder said that the Empire, having never fully recovered its unity and strength following the violent sacking of Constantinople by Christian crusaders in 1204, remains a severely truncated shadow of its former self. Once a powerful bulwark against the Muslim armies of the Middle East and Anatolia, the Byzantine Empire now faces its most formidable threat yet, the Ottoman Turks. 'It is clear that this situation is very grave indeed for the Byzantines,' Schroeder said during the one-hour address in Room 101 of Uris Hall. 'By this point, their army consists entirely of mercenaries and inexperienced would-be landholders who are serving temporary stints in the military, merely in the hopes of being granted huge amounts of farmland in the central Anatolian plain under the greatly unprofitable 'feudal levy' system. This rather ragtag bunch is altogether no match for the extraordinarily well-trained janissaries of the upstart Ottoman clans.' The U.S., long interested in the Byzantine Empire for its strategic location and close proximity to Eastern spice and silk markets, is following the developments closely. 'The stability of Byzantium is extremely important to the United States,' said U.S. Sen. Claiborne Pell (D-RI), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. 'Certainly we're concerned about the Ottomans' ambitions and the threat they pose to the security of the spice routes. Rest assured we'll be in close contact with the Venetian city-state and the Frankish duchies on this matter.' Cornell University history professor Wallace Schroeder. Despite a pledge of full military support from President Clinton and the threat of severe U.S. economic sanctions against the Ottomans, many seriously question the Byzantines' ability to withstand a Turkish siege. 'Even if the United States were to deploy 20,000 of its finest horse-mounted warriors to the Near East and cut off all opium exports to the Turks, it is still unlikely that that would be enough to stem the tide of history,' said Arthur V. Wills, a Duke University professor of Near Eastern Studies and noted Byzantine scholar. 'The reality is, U.S. aid or not, the once-great Byzantine Empire will in all likelihood not survive the 1290s.' Philip A. Brannock, visiting professor of Near Eastern Studies from Cambridge University, agreed. 'I must concur with my esteemed colleague,' Brannock said. 'How easily we forget what an imposing force the Ottoman Turks are. Even an extremely capable and prestigious ruler like Holy Roman Emperor Charles V bent to their will, eventually ceding much of his Hungarian possessions to them.' While the volatile Byzantine situation is drawing the attention of scholars and government officials, perhaps no one is monitoring the developing crisis more closely than Kathleen Altman, a Cornell sophomore majoring in English. 'Professor Schroeder said that everything through the end of the Hundred Years War is going to be on the midterm,' the 19-year-old from Syosset, NY, said, 'so I guess we'll definitely have to know all the stuff about the Ottomans. Oh, my God, I have to pass that test.' Byzantine Emperor Constantine XI could not be reached for comment. 
1	Citing the freedom of the form, the popularity of shows such as WTF With Marc Maron and The Joe Rogan Experience, and the likelihood that his fans would be excited to hear what hes been up to lately, former Saturday Night Live cast member Chris Kattan wondered aloud Wednesday whether he should start his own podcast. 'I could call up some old friends like Darrell Hammond and Rachel DratchI'm sure they'd totally be into coming on as guests,' Kattan said of his possible foray into podcasting, which he told reporters he envisioned as 'an interview show with some comedy elements.' 'And I bet people would love to catch up with [Kattan's SNL characters] Mango, Mr. Peepers, and Gay Hitler. You know, if I clear some of the boxes and other stuff out of the basement and grab that card table out of the garage, I could set up a really sweet little home studio down there.' Kattan was reportedly spotted later that day pricing low-end mixing boards at a North Hollywood Guitar Center location. 
2	Womans Experience With Southwest Airlines Quickly Goes Viral... And For Good Reason Southwest Airlines is making headlines after delivering some customer service that went above and beyond the call of duty. According to reports, passenger Peggy Uhle was boarding a flight from Chicago, Illinois to Columbus, Ohio when she was approached by a flight attendant and told to go back to the gates. I figured I was on the wrong plane, Uhle told reporters. The gate agent told me to check in at the desk and when I did she told me to call my husband. Shortly thereafter, Uhle learned that her son was in a coma after suffering a head injury. Before Uhle had even left her flight, Southwest had arranged for Uhle to fly to Denver, Colorado where her son was in the hospital. The gate attendant already knew the situation and had booked me on a direct flight to Denver that was leaving in the next two hours, Uhle told reporters. The airline did not charge any additional fees or service charges for the flight. Southwest even went on to deliver Uhles luggage to where she was staying. We have always liked Southwest Airlines and now we cant say enough good things about them, Uhle concluded. Uhles son suffered a traumatic brain injury, and he is still in the process of recovering. 
3	19 Ways Cancer Becomes the Ultimate Soft-Kill OperationIn earlier times it was easier to control a million people than physically to kill a million people. Today it is infinitely easier to kill a million people then to control a million people. Zbigniew Brzezinski(Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg Group, Carter/Obama Advisor). The cancer epidemic is a soft-kill operation and a move by the worlds so-called elites to cull the human population. It is well documented that the Club of Rome, Bill Gates, Ted Turner, the Rockefellers, Warren Buffet and many other globalists plan to dominate and decimate humanity with their population reduction agenda. As we will see, the globalists first cause the cancer and then provide us with their ineffective treatments (not cures) for profit. This method is known as Problem Reaction Solution. According to the American Cancer Society, 1,638,910 new cancer cases will arise in the United States during 2012. Approximately 577,190 American cancer patients are expected to die from their cancer this year as well. One in every two men will suffer from cancer (one in four will die) as will one in every three women (one in five will die). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cancer is the second leading cause of death, closely trailing heart disease. In 1971, President Nixon and Congress declared war on cancer. Since then, the federal government has spent well over $105 billion to battle cancer. In 2010 alone, the National Cancer Institute had a budget of $6.4 billion. As of March 2011, the Susan B. Komen Foundation, allegedly leading the fight against breast cancer, had $439,451,449 in total public support and revenue. Pharmaceutical giant Merck alone had a 2010 research and development budget of 8.12 billion. Why all the death and suffering despite billions, if not trillions, in government and private cancer research? Why have cancer treatments remained almost unchanged since the 1950s: toxic radiation, toxic chemotherapy, and surgery? The answer is simple: treating cancer is profitable; curing it is not. Cancer also furthers the globalist goal of massive depopulation. In other words, the business forecast for pharmaceutical companies, tax-free cancer foundations and government health organizations is great. If you still cant believe that the cancer epidemic is a soft-kill operation, than you should understand Democide. Democide is the murder of any person or people by a government, including genocide, politicide, and mass murder. Democide does not include soldiers killed in battle. During the 20th Century (1900s) alone, Professor R.J. Rummel calculates that government power was used to murder approximately 262,000,000 people. It is well known by nutritionists and true healers that the best way to beat cancer is not to get it. That is, we must have proper nutrition and exercise to keep our immune systems functioning properly. We must also eliminate all forms of toxins from our every-day environment. BPA. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely used chemical that can behave like estrogen. It is used in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. BPA is in many consumer products, including the lining of food and beverage cans, plastic food packaging, dental sealants, paper receipts and water pipes. Exposure in people is widespread and occurs mainly through eating or drinking contaminated food and beverages. Animal and human studies have linked BPA to hormone-sensitive cancers, including breast and prostate cancers. A recent study form China found that exposure to BPA may be a risk factor for a common type of brain tumor called meningioma. The study participants with the highest urine BPA levels were about 1.6 times (160%) more likely to be diagnosed with meningioma compared to those with lower concentrations. BPA is found in the urine of 95 percent of adults. Research from Harvard University found that eating canned soup can spike your urinary (BPA) levels by 1,200 percent compared to fresh soup. Canada lists BPA as a toxic substance and has banned it from being used in baby bottles. However, in March of 2012, the FDA blocked a ban on BPA in the United States despite its well-proven links to cancer. 4.7 tons of BPA is expected to be made in 2012 by AkzoNobel N.V., Dover Chemical Corporation, The Dow Chemical Company, Huntsman Corporation, Rhodia (Solvay Group), and SI Group, Inc. While many consumers now wisely refuse to purchase plastic products unless they are BPA free, many plastic manufactures have replaced BPA, with Bisphenol-S (BPS), which may be even more dangerous. Therefore, it is best to avoid plastic products and use glass instead. Unfortunately, almost all bottled water is sold in plastic bottles. Fluoride. Speaking of water, almost every water district in the United States ads toxic sodium fluoride/hydrofluosilicic acid to our tap water. After years of denial, the CFR/Rockefeller controlled federal government finally admitted that fluoride harms children. Rather than removing the toxins, the federal government called for a reduction in the amount of fluoride added to public water supplies, citing its negative effect on teeth (dental fluorosis). Of course it has long been known by real researchers, as opposed to the American Dental Association, that fluoride harms teeth. The Harvard School of Dental Health found that fluoridated causes cancer: It should also be noted that several unethical water bottling companies add fluoride to their water (Nursery Purified Water DS Waters, Dannon Fluoride To Go, and others). They advertise that fluoride is great for kids and promotes strong teeth despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Pesticides. The soft-kill cancer operation continued in plain view when California legislators approved the use of methyl iodide on California strawberry crops with knowledge that it was linked to cancer, late-term miscarriages, thyroid disease and neurological damage in humans. In 2007, the Bush administration approved methyl iodine nationally with 47 states registering the chemical for use. Fortunately, Arysta LifeScience, methyl iodide manufacturer and largest private pesticide corporation in the world, pulled methyl iodide from the U.S. market on March 20, 2012. Workers who apply certain pesticides to farm fields are twice as likely to contract melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer. Yet we are told that non-organic foods are safe to eat. Likewise, researchers find higher levels of common household pesticides in the urine of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a cancer that develops most commonly between three and seven years of age. The lingering effects of DDT pesticide use is increased rates of cancer. Parabens. Cancer-causing chemicals have been added to our personal hygiene products. Parabens are a chemical compound found in everyday toiletry products including moisturizers, make-up, shaving foam, tanning lotions and toothpaste. They are also found in numerous brands of underarm deodorant. A study of 160 women with breast cancer revealed that parabens were present in the tumors of all the women. In total, 160 samples were collected, four from each woman. They found 99 per cent of the tissue samples contained at least one paraben and 60 per cent of the samples had five. Aluminum. Most antiperspirant contains aluminum, and that aluminum may be absorbed into womens breast tissue where it could potentially increase the risk of breast cancer or other health problems. Women with breast cancer have higher levels of aluminum in their nipple aspirate fluid (NAF), a fluid present in the breast duct tree. Studies show aluminum from antiperspirants is deposited in breast tissue, and animal studies have also found that aluminum can cause cancer. Studies also classify Aluminum as a neurotoxin associated with Alzheimers disease. Chemtrails/Geoengineering. Chemtrails containing toxins such as Aluminum and Barium are being sprayed into the atmosphere daily as one of the most blatant tools of the depopulation agenda. Therefore, the air we all breathe now contains Aluminum and Barium particles that should not be there. Particle pollution can increase the risk of heart disease, lung cancer and asthma attacks and can interfere with the growth and efficiency of the lungs. Chemtrails are poisoning all life on the planet and most people fail to even notice. Please take the time to do your own research on chemtrails/geoengineering as it is beyond the scope of this article. Sunscreen. Many popular sunscreens contain ingredients known to spur the growth and spread of skin cancer cells, which defeats their stated purpose of preventing skin cancer. Even worse, the FDA has allegedly been aware of this critical information for the past ten years, but has done absolutely nothing to warn people about it. Only 7.8 percent of the sunscreens tested have been deemed safe and effective. The other 92.2 percent, which represent hundreds of sunscreens on the market today, contain one or more ingredients known to be harmful to health, a shocking figure when considering their widespread use. Sugar. It has long been known that cancer cells feed on sugar and that those with cancer should reduce their sugar/simple carbohydrate intake. Today Americans are swallowing 22 teaspoons of sugar each day or about 100 pounds per year. One can of soda alone has 39 grams of sugar (8 teaspoons) thank you Pepsi and Coca-Cola. No wonder so many Americans suffer from cancer. Common and Medical Radiation. CT scans are associated with increased risks of cancer, yet patients are not warned of the danger. Exposing a child to the nuclear radiation from two or three computed tomography (CT) head scans can triple the risk of developing brain cancer later in life, according to a 20-year study. The study also found that a child exposed to the cumulative radiation of between five and 10 CT scans is three times more likely than an unexposed child to develop leukemia. Likewise, dental X-rays raise brain cancer risk. A study involving 1,400 cancer patients found that patients who reported having yearly bitewing exams (dental x-rays) were up to two times more likely to develop meningioma. Mammograms cause cancer by exposing the body to ionizing radiation that can be 1,000 times greater than that from a chest x-ray, which we know poses a cancer risk. Following on the heels of recent revelations that X-ray mammography may be contributing to an epidemic of future radiation-induced breast cancers, in a new published in the journal Cancer July 1st, 2012, reports that radiation treatment actually drives breast cancer cells into greater malignancy. The researchers found that even when radiation kills half of the tumor cells treated, the surviving cells which are resistant to treatment, known as induced breast cancer stem cells (iBCSCs), were up to 30 times more likely to form tumors than the nonirradiated breast cancer cells. In other words, the radiation treatment regresses the total population of cancer cells, generating the false appearance that the treatment is working, but actually increases the ratio of highly malignant to benign cells within that tumor, eventually leading to the iatrogenic (treatment-induced) death of the patient. Airport Naked Body Pervert Porno Scanners not only violate the Fourth Amendment, but they are linked with increased rates of cancer. There has been a surge in cases of TSA workers developing cancer as a result of their close proximity to radiation-firing devices Dr. Edward Dauer, head of radiology at Florida Medical Center, says that naked body scanners can cause cancer, particularly in those over age 65 and in women who are said to be genetically prone to developing breast cancer. Europe has banned airport naked body scanners due to cancer fears. The decision comes after American academic Dr. David Brenner the scanners could deliver up to 20 times more radiation to the skin than previously thought potentially increasing the risk of skin cancer. Cell phones. Radiation from cell phones can possibly cause cancer, according to the World Health Organization. The agency now lists mobile phone use in the same carcinogenic hazard category as lead, engine exhaust and chloroform. Radiation has also been linked to DNA damage and cancer. The Office of National Statistics in the United Kingdom discovered a 50 percent increase in frontal and temporal lobe tumors in children during the ten year span covering 1999 to 2009, most likely caused by cell phones. One in three children under the age of ten currently has a cellphone in their possession. Researchers warn: Children should only use mobile phones for essential purposes and keep all calls short. Yet despite the obvious danger, the government requires no radiation or cancer warning on cell phones. Likewise, laptop computers have been linked to cancer by electromagnetic radiation. Smart Meters do not just spy on you, they produce electromagnetic radiation that can damage our health and possibly be linked to cancer. Mercury. Mercury in any form is poisonous, with mercury toxicity most commonly affecting the neurologic, gastrointestinal (GI) and renal organ systems. Poisoning can result from mercury vapor inhalation, mercury ingestion, mercury injection, and absorption of mercury through the skin. It has been shown that mercury rapidly depletes the immune system. Mercury has also been shown to induce auto-immune diseases. Anything that depletes and disturbs the immune system will increase ones chances of contracting cancer. Vaccines. Vaccines are perhaps the ultimate soft-kill weapon that the global elite use against humanity. Mercury (as Thirmerosal), Aluminum and Formaldehyde (a known carcinogen used for embalming) have been used as a preservative in child-hood vaccines and are still present in many flu shots. There are hundreds if not thousands of studies linking vaccines with cancer and neurological disorders such as Autism. The infamous soft-kill operation known as the Polio vaccine (1950s 1960s) delivered the SV-40 Cancer virus to millions of Americans and preceded an explosion in cancer rates. Brave whistleblowers like Doctors Bernice Eddy and Sarah Steward were told to shut-up and ignored as the soft-kill operation was released to the public. Top Merck vaccine scientist, Dr. Maurice Hilleman, openly admits the presence of deadly SV40 in Polio vaccines . The SV40 Cancer Foundation provides additional research and information. Meanwhile, the Polio vaccine is still used against unsuspecting citizens of third-world nations. Recently an Italian court found vaccine makers liable for damaging children. But in the United States, after vaccine makers were nearly wiped-out by lawsuits brought by parents of injured children, Congress granted them legal immunity. The Supreme Court upheld the immunity stating that vaccines are unavoidably unsafe. Eugenicist Bill Gates and other globalists such as the Rockefeller Foundation fund vaccine research in order to reduce the human population through soft-kill methodology. That is the true reason that many governments are pushing to make vaccines mandatory, even going door-to-door against natural law and the will of informed parents. Dental Filings. Dental amalgams are the primary source of mercury exposure in Americans. A single dental amalgam filling releases as much as 15 micrograms of mercury per day. The average individual has eight amalgam fillings and could absorb up to 120 micrograms of mercury per day. For comparison, eating mercury-tainted seafood will expose you to about 2.3 micrograms per day. The National Cancer Institute linked periodontal disease to pancreatic cancer. Our study provides the first strong evidence that periodontal disease may increase the risk of pancreatic cancer, said Dr. Dominique Michaud of the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, who led the research. Men with a history of periodontal disease had a 64 per cent increased risk of pancreatic cancer than men with no such history. Light Bulbs. In 2007, Skull and Bones cult member George W. Bush signed a bill mandating that, Manufacturers will no longer be able to make the 100-watt Thomas Edison bulb after Jan. 1, 2012, followed by the 75-watt version in Jan. 2013, and the 60- and 40-watt bulbs in Jan. 2014. The standard incandescent bulb was to be replaced soft-kill CFL bulbs, which are harmful to humans and the environment because they are filled with toxic mercury. A report released in 2008 from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection revealed that when a CFL bulb is broken, it can release dangerously high levels of mercury into the air. Fortunately the planned ban was repealed and you need not pollute your home with toxic CFL bulbs. High Fructose Corn Syrup. High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is used as a sweetener in thousands of mainstream packaged foods sold in the United States and around the world, from bread to soda and even breakfast cereal. Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) found that cancer cells have a particular liking for refined fructose. In tests, pancreatic cancer cells quickly fed on refined fructose and used it to divide and proliferate rapidly within the body. These findings show that cancer cells can readily metabolize fructose to increase proliferation, explained Dr. Anthony Heaney of UCLAs Jonsson Cancer Center, one of the authors of the study. Published in the journal Cancer Research, the findings also reveal that not all sugars are the same, a widely held belief in mainstream medicine. Tumor cells love both glucose sugar and fructose sugar, but fructose directly causes cancer cells to reproduce and spread in a way that glucose does not. The study demonstrates that there is a major difference between high fructose corn syrup, a highly-refined sugar commonly used in processed American foods and beverages, and refined sugar cane. Both can lead to health problems, but high fructose corn syrup is worse in terms of cancer growth. Additionally, a study conducted by David Wallinga, M.D., entitled Not So Sweet: Missing Mercury and High Fructose Corn Syrup (http://healthobservatory.org/library.cfm?refid=105026) reveals that nearly one-third of all grocery items sweetened with HFCS were contaminated with mercury. High Fructose Corn Syrup also contributes to obesity. A Princeton University research team demonstrated that rats with access to high-fructose corn syrup gained significantly more weight than those with access to table sugar, even when their overall caloric intake was the same. Obesity is linked to higher rates of cancer. According to the American Institute for Cancer Research, more than 100,000 cancer cases in the U.S. are linked to excess body fat most of them are preventable. Microwave Ovens. Nearly every home has a microwave oven to quickly heat or cook food. Yet many studies conducted throughout the world have repeatedly highlighted the deleterious effects of microwave ovens on human health. In fact microwave ovens are so dangerous that they were banned in Russia from 1976 to 1987. Twenty years of thorough research by Russian scientists convinced them that the dangers of the devices outweighed the benefits in cooking time. A recent experiment showed that microwaved water given to a plant causes the plant to wither and die within days; however, another identical plant given water that was boiled on a conventional stove grew normally during the same time period. Therefore, microwave ovens likely alter and destroy your food as well. Pasteurization was discovered by Louis Pasteur in the mid-1800s. It compromises your milk, Almonds and juice. Pasteurization destroys vitamins, enzymes and interferes with absorption. When you boil a liquid, you kill any bacteria and make that food sterile. In the process, you cant help but affect the taste and nutritional value of that food. Pasteurization is the process of heating a liquid to a high enough temperature to kill certain bacteria and disable certain enzymes. Food Irradiation (radiation). The FDA approved food irradiation, the brainchild of the Atomic Energy Commissions efforts in the Eisenhower administration to find practical uses for the flood of radioactive wastes from nuclear weapons. Industry and the FDA insist that irradiated food has been thoroughly tested and is absolutely safe. However, New York, New Jersey and Maine have prohibited the sale and distribution of irradiated food, as have foreign governments, including Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Australia and New Zealand. Claims of safety are unproven at best. Studies have linked food irradiation with increased risk of cancer. Aspartame. The average person consumes about 2 or 3 mg/kg aspartame each day through diet soda and artificial sweeteners. A study of rats links low doses of aspartame the sweetener in NutraSweet, Equal, and thousands of consumer products to leukemia and lymphoma. Our study has shown that aspartame is a multipotential carcinogenic compound whose carcinogenic effects are also evident at a daily dose of 20 milligrams per kilogram of body weight (mg/kg), notably less than the current acceptable daily intake for humans, the authors write. Donald Rumsfeld, best known for slaughtering Iraqis that had nothing to do with 9/11, is largely responsible for foisting the Aspartame soft-kill operation on the public. Chlorine. Chlorine has been used to disinfect U.S. and British tap water supplies for 100 years. Low levels of chlorine in tap water used for bathing can almost double the risk of bladder cancer. Swimming in public pools can also present a risk because chlorine levels are much higher. Researchers found that those living in areas with high-chlorine content water, who bathed in it regularly, were 83 per cent more likely to get a tumor than those in low-chlorine areas. Those who drank high-chlorine tap water were 35 per cent more likely to get bladder cancer. Regular swimming in pools increased the risk by 57 per cent. Absorbing chlorine through the skin is thought to be more dangerous because it bypasses the liver, which filters out many harmful chemicals when water is swallowed. It should be noted that many baby diapers and feminine products (pads/tampons) contain chlorine as the soft-kill operations rolls on. Sodium Nitrate and other preservatives are commonly added to processed meat (cold cuts) and are linked with increased rates of cancer. It is best to buy preservative-free meat to avoid being soft-killed by cancer. Nuclear Radiation is also a favorite soft-kill tool as radiation deaths are far more difficult to prove than cigarette smoking deaths, because the source is almost always unknown in its quantity, who it was delivered to, and when. Contrary to government propaganda distributed by the mainstream media, there is no safe dose of radiation. A French study published in the International Journal of Cancer found a leukemia rate twice as high among children under the age of 15 living within a 3.1-mile radius of Frances 19 nuclear power plants. The study added to the findings of a German study published in late 2007 studying German children under 5 years old, which found that children of that age in the vicinity of German NPPs had suffered an increase in the incidence of childhood leukemia. In 2003, a blue ribbon European Committee on Radiation Risk reported 61,600,000 cancer deaths worldwide from fallout of atom bomb testing during the 1950s and 1960s. Rain brought the fallout back down into the food supply. Lab tests found that children born in 1963 had about 50 times more Sr-90 in teeth than those born in 1950. Washington University officials used their results in testimony to the U.S. Senate leading to the Partial Test Ban Treaty signed by President John F. Kennedy, ending all above-ground atom bomb tests. A book published by three prominent scientists concluded that based on records now available, some 985,000 people died, mainly of cancer, as a result of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident. That is between when the accident occurred in 1986 and 2004. More deaths, it projects, will follow. Evidence demonstrates that the Fukushima nuclear debacle is being used as a soft-kill operation, as absolutely nothing significant is being done to stop the continuous leak of radiation. The Fukushima disaster was entirely foreseen by prominent scientist such as Leuren Moret but her warning went unheeded. Arnold Gunderson, a 39-year veteran of the nuclear industry, stated: Likewise, Dr. Christopher Busby, Scientific Secretary of the European Committee on Radiation Risk, states that 400,000 people will develop cancer within a 200 kilometer radius of Fukushima. One estimate states that the fallout from the Fukushima nuclear meltdown resulted in 21,851 U.S. deaths within the first 14 weeks of the emergency. The rise in reported deaths after Fukushima was largest among the United States forinfants under age one. GM Crops may cause cancer. Dr. Stanley Ewen, a consultant histopathologist at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, says that a cauliflower [mosaic] virus used in GM foods could increase the risk of stomach and colon cancers. Monsantos GM-derived rBGH (which is a genetically-altered growth hormone given to dairy cows to make them more milk) was shown to increase the production of IGF-1 from 70-1000%. IGF-1 is a very powerful hormone that has been linked to a 2.5-4 times higher incidence of human colon, breast and prostate cancer. Conclusion The global elite have clearly implemented their depopulation agenda and are spiking our food, air, water and bodies with toxins to give us cancer. These elites then profit immensely by selling us drugs through the pharmaceutical companies they control. These drugs normally provide temporary relief from cancer/disease systems, while being falsely marketed as a cure by fake studies and perverted statistics. Fight cancer by not getting it.

3	Moscow to West: Hands Off Middle East/AfricaStephen Lendman, Contributor They included heads of state, foreign affairs and defense ministers, as well as other senior figures. Active engagement was prioritized. Current and future security challenges were discussed. In 2007, Russian President Vladimir Putin took full advantage. He pulled no punches. He sharply criticized US foreign policy. He called it: very dangerous (in its) uncontained hyper-use of force military force in international relations, force that is plunging the world into an abyss of permanent conflicts. (US imperialism, he stressed), overstepped its national borders in every way. (U)nilateral illegal actions have not resolved any single problem. They have become a hotbed of further conflicts. We are seeing increasing disregard for the fundamental principles of international law.No one feels safe! Because no one can feel that international law is like a stone wall that will protect them. Of course, such a policy stimulates an arms race. The dominance of force inevitably encourages a number of countries to acquire weapons of mass destruction. Putin also addressed a unipolar world. He called it one in which there is one master, one sovereign. And at the end of the day, this is pernicious not only for all those within this system, but also for the sovereign itself because it destroys itself from within. He added that We are constantly being taught about democracy. But for some reason those who teach us do not want to learn themselves. America deplores democracy at home and abroad. It prioritizes unchallenged dominance. It demands what it says goes. Russia supports peace, not war. It favors diplomatic conflict resolution. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov attended this years Conference. Itar Tass headlined Moscow calls on West not to impose outside values on peoples of Middle East, Africa. We all aspire for stability and conditions for sustainable development in the Middle East and in Africa, we want the peoples of countries there to be able to move towards the democracy and wellbeing, to have guaranteed human rights, smooth supplies of hydrocarbons and other vital resources. If those are our joint objectives, then, we may agree on transparent and clear rules, which should be used by all players in their practical actions. Agree that we all will be supporting the democratic reforms of the changing countries, but not to impose an outside value scale, acknowledging the variety of development models. Should agree that we shall be supporting the peaceful settlement of the inner state conflicts and stopping of violence via conditions for an inclusive dialogue with involvement of all national political groups. Should agree that we shall refrain from outside interference, especially by force, without a clear mandate from the UN Security Council and from any unilateral sanctions. That we should continuously and firmly fight extremism and terrorism in all forms, should demand observation of rights for ethnic and confessional minorities. Approaches of our Western counterparts cause many questions. Does support for change of regimes justify terror methods? Is it possible to be fighting in one situation against those who you support in another one? Lavrov said answers to key questions should be found jointly, especially regarding final objectives for the efforts to settle crises in countries of the Euro-Atlantic region, which have more uniting aspects rather than discrepancies. Russia categorically opposes force. It wants Syrians alone to decide wholl lead them. It wants no external interference. Its got international law on its side. Earlier Lavrov expressed concern about Israeli aggression on Syria. He called it unacceptable. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak also addressed Munich participants. He admitted Israels involvement. He said what happened in Syria several days ago (is) proof that when we said something we mean it.and we say that we dont think it should be allowed to bring advanced weapons into Lebanon. Israel committed naked aggression. It was unrelated to cross-border weapons transfers. Israels objectives arent clear. It may be to goad Syria to counterattack. Doing so would risk greater war. It could become regional or global. History proves small conflicts at times become major ones. Irans Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani warned Israel, saying: The world is witnessing a vengeance carried out by the West, particularly the US, and some backward elements in the region against resistance. He urged regional countries to distance themselves from Israel. He said the Islamic awakening movement in the region would give a proper response to the Zionist regime. On February 3, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) said Israeli Aggression Reveals Israels Role in Destabilizing Syria. Assad responded publicly for the first time. He said Israel acted in collaboration with hostile external powers. Syrias able to confront challenges. Itll repel aggression. Destabilizing Syria wont work. Iran offers full support. On February 2, Voice of Russia contributor Konstantin Garibov headlined Israels air attack against Syria heralds new regional conflicts, saying: Doing so entails great risks. Russias Foreign Ministry condemned Israels attack. It called it an unprovoked attack against a sovereign state. Syria declared the right to respond. International law permits justifiable self-defense. Lebanese political scientist Imad Rizk called the attacks timing symptomatic. Netanyahu returned to big politics. He is forming a coalition government. Hes negotiating for strategic advantage. Hell deal with Washingtons new Secretary of State. It looks like the attack became the US and Israels joint declaration of war on Syria. Vladimir Putin said Israel will keep delivering blows on facilities or forces participating in the Syrian conflict. They would be either Islamist groups of troops loyal to Bashar al-Assad. I can foresee that as the crisis becomes worse, Israel could expand its participation in such attacks. Israel allegedly fears Islamic extremists. Supposedly its concerned about ties to Hamas and Hezbollah. Russian Academy of Sciences Institute of Oriental Studies analyst Vladimiri Sotnikov believes It would be a nightmare for Israel. Its likely what Israel prefers. It needs enemies to justify belligerence. Peace, calm and stability defeat its agenda. As foreign minister in 1982, Yitzhak Shamir explained why Israel attacked Lebanon. A terrible danger existed, he said, not so much a military one as a political one. On June 6, 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon. Fighting lasted nearly a year. An Israeli staged false flag was pretext. Arafat was falsely blamed for Abu Nidal militants attempted assassination of Israeli UK ambassador Shlomo Argov. Israel got the war it wanted. Around 18,000 Palestinians were massacred. Southern Lebanon remained occupied until May 2000. Israel still illegally holds Sheba Farms. Its a 14-square mile water-rich area near Syrias Golan. Its been lawlessly occupied since 1967 along with Ghajar, a bordering Lebanese village. Sabra and Shatila remain symbols of Israeli ruthlessness. At the time, Ariel Sharon was defense minister. He ordered the slaughter. He let Phalangist fascists do his dirty work. Palestinian civilians were massacred in cold blood. Women were raped multiple times before being killed. Children were murdered like adults. Whole families were shot, stabbed, bludgeoned to death, or buried dead or alive under homes. Some were tortured before dying. Bodies were decapitated. Corpses were charred and violated. Eyes were gouged out. Faces were unrecognizable. Israel maliciously planned it. Sharon led it. He called it ridding the world of the center of international terrorism. Orwell couldnt have said it better. No one to this day was punished. Israel massacres with impunity. Haaretz contributor Gideon Levy said Israel does as it pleases. Rogue states operate that way. Criticizing them is called heresy and treason. Israel overflies Lebanons airspace with impunity. Its taken for granted. It bombards whatever it calls dangerous. It invade(s) any place, settle(s) anywhere. It may do (almost) anything. It does any damn thing it wishes. Washington offers full support. Theyre imperial partners. They jointly plan aggression. They get away with it because wholl stop them? (A)nything allowed (is) shaped (in) Israeli consciousness. Its based on largely baseless assumptions. Notions about being surrounded by hostile Arabs dont wash. It bears repeating. The only threats Israel faces are ones it invents. It menaces regional neighbors and humanity. It prioritizes Middle East dominance. It wants regional rivals eliminated. It wages unprovoked naked aggression. Israel alone has weapons of mass destruction. Using them is prioritized if threatened. (T)o hell with all the troublesome questions, said Levy. Only what Israel wants matters. Rule of law principles apply to others. Israel is allowed to do anything. It gets away with mass murder and much more. Its right is divine, it claims. It doesnt matter what others say. Only Israeli interests count. Saying so claims Jewish exceptionalism, specialness, and uniqueness. Israeli hardliners say theyre Gods chosen people. They have a divine right to commit naked aggression. Spurning human rights comes with the territory. They can do any damn thing they wish. They debase moral values and ethical principles. They threaten Jews and non-Jews alike. They endanger humanity. They need to be stopped before they kill again. In response to Israels May 2010 Mavi Marama massacre, former Congressman Dennis Kucinich asked colleagues to sign a letter to Obama, stating: It is not acceptable to repeatedly violate international law. It is not acceptable to shoot and kill innocent civilians. It is not acceptable to commit an act of aggression against another U.S. ally. It is not acceptable to continue a blockade which denies humanitarian relief. It is not acceptable to heighten tensions in a region while the United States continues to put so much blood and treasure on the line. No one questions the right of Israel to defend its border. (Doing so) does not extend to shooting innocent civilians anywhere in the world, anytime it pleases. Israel must account for our support, for the lives of our soldiers, for the investment of billions from our taxpayers. Israel owes the United States more than reckless, pre-meditated violence waged against innocent people. Its hard imagining anyone in Congress today this forthright. Its likely why Kucinich lost his March 2012 primary reelection bid. Dark forces targeted him. The Israeli Lobby wanted him ousted. Virtually no one in Congress criticizes Israel. Doing it risks being a career ender. McKinney believes principle matters most. Her soul isnt for sale. Hopefully, Kucinich feels the same way. Hes free to keep doing whats right. Voices for truth and justice are badly needed. The most perilous time in world history demands they speak out. Imperiled humanity depends on it.

1	SCHAUMBURG, ILAlmost 20 years after Mike Ditka led Chicago to their only Super Bowl victory, lifelong Chicago resident Dave Johannes continues to suggest the beloved former Bears coach and current hair-gel and erectile-dysfunction-medicine endorser as the solution to every problem of which he is personally aware. 'Ditka could turn these here Bears around, you betand them White Sox could use some of that Ditka attitude, too,' Johannes was heard telling his family, friends, and coworkers Monday. 'Don't get me started on the Bulls and the Blackhawks. And that [former Illinois governor George] Ryan [corruption] trial Ditka would get to the bottom of that, I bet. Plus, also, I got just the man to fix our mess we got in Iraq.' Every Chicago resident Johannes spoke to agreed completely with his Ditka panacea, although experts generally agree that Buddy Ryan, the father of the Bears' famous '46' defense, would probably be a better choice.

And some of those plans are already in motion, despite the best effort of some government employees. 
1	Having secured pole position at the 55th Annual Daytona 500 this Sunday, stock car racer Danica Patrick reportedly has drawn universal praise for smashing social barriers on behalf of stunningly beautiful women everywhere. In reaching this latest milestone, Danica has once more shown that no challenge is too great for a young, gorgeous female, said ESPN racing columnist David Newton of the winsome, well-proportioned NASCAR driver, who in addition to her feats on the racetrack is widely regarded as one of the most alluring women in professional sports. Demonstrating that she can both compete with and even surpass her male peers, Danica is living proof that there is no obstacle a good-looking woman cannot overcome. Her continued success sends an important message to little girls around the world that, provided they believe in themselves and are gorgeous, they can achieve their dreams. Newton confirmed that if Patrick takes the checkered flag at Daytona, it would be the most significant symbolic victory since 2004, when Dale Earnhardt Jr.s win at the race proved once and for all that privileged white men who come from NASCAR families can do anything.

2	The Great State Of Texas Takes MASSIVE Stand Against Obama And They Mean Business Texas has been the state most vocal about Obamas attempts to give illegal immigrants citizenship. Now, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has made it clear that he has no intentions to provide a sanctuary city the way other states have done. After Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez announced her decision to process incidents on a case-by-case bases, deciding when and where to honor federal law requiring detainment of illegal aliens, Abbott wrote her a letter bashing her for putting Texans at risk. Your decision to not fully honor U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcements (ICE) requests to detain criminal immigrants poses a serious danger to Texans, he wrote. These detainers provide ICE with the critical notice and time it needs to take incarcerated immigrants into federal custody. 
1	Area crazy man Dennis Fife held a press conference Tuesday to announce that on Oct. 8, he will stand in the doorway of the office building at 2600 Kenilworth Avenue and yell at cars all day. Dennis Fife, an L.A.-area nutball, answers reporters' questions regarding his upcoming plans to scream at cars all day. Addressing reporters, the 47-year-old Fife said, 'At approximately 9:30 a.m. on the day in question, shortly after I finish lunging at dogs, I will proceed to the front steps of the Simmons Building and yell loudly for nine hours. The screaming will be broken by a 15-minute fit of rigid catatonia, most likely in the late afternoon.' Among the topics Fife plans to address during his nine-hour rant: the ace of diamonds, bookshelves, the man trying to kill him, those goddamn bananas, people from St. Louis, closed-up straws, Trapper John, MD, and papers, papers everywhere. 'I may briefly stray from my agenda to urinate into the revolving door at the building's entrance,' Fife said, 'but, for the most part, I will focus on the task at hand and spend the bulk of the day yelling at the various passing cars.' Though Fife said he will shout at any vehicle that goes down Kenilworth Avenue, he will focus primarily on Volkswagen Beetles, pick-up trucks and late-'80s Mitsubishi Galants. Fife also noted that he will attempt to gain the attention of bicyclists by shouting, 'Hey there, Mr. Bike-man.' 'A lot of what I intend to yell will be pre-plannedit will be things I've shouted at cars before,' said Fife, chewing on his right forearm. 'But I definitely want to leave open some room for improvisation. For instance, if a red car passes by, I might be inclined to shout at the driver, 'Where'd you get the fancy red car?' But then, if another red car drives by a bit later, I might become angry and demand that the driver stop and give me kidney beans.' Fife has already begun preparations for the event. On Monday, he worked late into the night making a bowl of Kraft macaroni and cheese, which he said he will bring with him and throw into the street, handfuls at a time. He has also set aside his lucky rubberband and a tree branch for the occasion. While Fife has vowed to remain in the office building's doorway throughout his nine-hour yell session, some observers speculate that he will wander over to the nearest corner, where he would have access to vehicles slowing down to make the turn onto Canyon Drive. 'That corner is going to be extremely tempting for Mr. Fife,' Alhambra city councilmember Lorraine Schmidt said. 'Not only do the cars slow down there, giving him better access to drivers, but there is a mailbox he can spit into. I can't imagine he'll be able to stand in that doorway all day with the corner in full view without giving in to the urge to go over there.' Alhambra police chief George Jaeger predicted Fife would be successful in his venture, praising his remarkable tenacity and determination. 'When Mr. Fife sets his mind to something, he does it,' Jaeger said. 'Whether it's tearing pages out of a phone book, swallowing metal washers, or selling a discarded Roxette CD to an imaginary friend for $600, every project he undertakes is a bona fide success. This truly is one focused loon.' 
2	Mayor Of London SLAMS Obama, A Part Kenyan Incoherent Hypocrite Recently, Obama arrived in Europe to a very hostile group of authorities. The group is part of a campaign called Out, pushing for Britain to leave the European Union. Of course, Obama is in favor of keeping Britain as a major player in the alliance. This kind of cooperationfrom intelligence sharing and counterterrorism to forging agreements to create jobs and economic growthwill be far more effective if it extends across Europe, he argued. Now is a time for friends and allies to stick together. Together, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union have turned centuries of war in Europe into decades of Peace. Many London authorities are frustrated that Obama is trying to intervene in British affairs. Boris Johnson, the mayor of London, recently took a shot at Obama by calling him a part-Kenyan president. He went on to describe him as incoherent, downright hypocritical and inconsistent. Johnson is not the only authority figure who is pushing for Obama to stay out of the British affair. Nigel Farage, the leader of the British Independence Party also wanted Obama to butt out, and Kate Hoey called Obamas intervention patronizing and insulting. What do you think of these comments? Is Obama an embarrassment to this country? 
3	Nabbed SpaghettiO Druglord Released from JailAmanda Warren A vigilant and brave officer spotted a spoon in the car leading him to surmise the only thing surmisable she likely heads up her own methamphetamine lab. It didnt matter that she adamantly claimed that there was no way in hell it was drug residue. She was arrested by Gainesville Police Department for suspicion of having meth residue on a spoon no prior drug charges. Yes, she finally had these drug charges dropped, but only after a thorough lab analysis detected well, not meth, on the drug paraphernalia. It was indeed SpaghettiO sauce. In the meantime, she was left to wait in jail for over a month possibly over half the summer. She had initially tried going through the Hall County Drug Court to stay out of jail but couldnt make all the appointments she was reincarcerated on Aug 2 (for another 47 days) and unable to make the bond payment. From July 2 through September 18th when she was finally released after the district attorneys office finally filed a dismissal following the lab report it is unclear exactly how much time she spent in jail. Her public defender, Chris van Rossem, however, has demonstrated the saddest part of the story a testament to the failure of the War on Drugs and the increasingly profitable prison privatization industry (if she had buckled and confessed). He was a part of that story, for he had attempted to help her with a plea bargain, and trace amounts of controlled substances in Georgia are punishable by 2-15 years in prison. He says: I think what the unfortunate part about her case is that she was probably willing to take the felony to close out her case so that she get out of jail, even though she always maintained innocence. In other words, how many innocent people have plea bargained in the past to avoid rotting in jail? But then what happens? Barry Donegan writes: Prior to her release, Huffs attorney had chosen to move forward with a plea bargain, despite her innocence, in an effort to get her out of jail as quickly as possible. In the article The Case Against Plea Bargaining, Timothy Lynch from The Cato Institute argued that plea bargains themselves encourage prosecutors to threaten defendants with terrifying charges in an effort to get them to waive their right to a trial, noting that over 90% of criminal cases are never tried before a jury. This example of the justice system is like a cat-and-mouse waiting game, where the cats have time on their side as the mouse remains locked up. Huff is now considering legal action for malicious prosecution and unlawful arrest. Recently by Amanda Warren 
1	Shedding light on law enforcement practices across the country, a Department of Justice study released Friday revealed that more than three-fourths of minority suspects in police custody receive their Miranda rights while unconscious. In 79 percent of arrests involving blacks or Latinos, suspects were administered their rights while prostrate on the concrete, collapsed against a police car, or blacking out in the midst of a chokehold, stated the report, which examined 2,000 arrests made last year where minority suspects remained either conscious, unconscious, or slowly drifting in and out of consciousness. The data also confirmed that among non-white arrests last year, most police officers made an effort to determine if the suspect had a pulse before reading from their warning card. The report further concluded that 98 percent of African-American suspects had their Miranda rights administered in between blows of a police baton. 
3	Rebuilding and Expanding the North American RelationshipBy Dana Gabriel During a foreign policy speech before he became Prime Minister, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau emphasized the importance of North America and outlined his plans to improve Canadas relationship with its NAFTA partners. He discussed some of the problems facing Mexico and how Canada could help solve them. Trudeau noted, In many areas, Canadians have the necessary expertise to address Mexicos needs, from the building of public institutions to infrastructure development to civil policing. We should see in Mexico opportunities to develop our relations and our economies. He went on to say, What does this mean for Canada and the Canada-U.S. relationship? In my view, it means that we must once again look at the relationship in a continental context. We must see our own future in the future of North America. Trudeau also proposed creating a special cabinet committee to manage Canada-U.S. relations and promised to work towards reducing barriers to trade and commerce between both countries. Furthermore, he pledged to push for a North American agreement on clean energy and the environment. In June 2015, the Standing Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Trade issued its report, North American Neighbours: Maximizing Opportunities and Strengthening Cooperation for a More Prosperous Future. The policy paper recommended, The Government of Canada explore opportunities for Canada-Mexico cooperation on governance, security and rule of law issues of mutual interest, such as law enforcement and judicial capacity building. It also identified energy, supply chain infrastructure and harmonizing regulations as some of the areas that should be addressed trilaterally. A news release described how, Trilateral cooperation between Canada, the United States and Mexico on issues of mutual interest holds great promise for increasing North Americas future competitiveness and prosperity. At the same time, the Committee conceded, Geographic, linguistic and other factors have prevented the Canada-Mexico relationship from reaching its full potential. Canadas relationship with Mexico should be an important focus. They concluded that, A stronger partnership with Mexico is a key way to strengthen the trilateral approach to North American relations. After becoming Canadas new Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau reaffirmed his commitment to building better continental relations. Some of the key objectives highlighted in the Minister of International Trade Mandate Letter are to, strengthen our relationship with our North American partners, advance bilateral and trilateral initiatives to reduce impediments to trade between our countries and to strengthen North Americas global competitiveness. An important part of the Canada-U.S. relationship is the Regulatory Cooperation Council and the Beyond the Border deal, which promotes economic competitiveness and a perimeter approach to security. In March 2015, both countries signed an Agreement on Land, Rail, Marine, and Air Transport Preclearance, but it has yet to be implemented. Trudeau will get an opportunity to discuss border security, energy, climate change and trade, along with other bilateral issues when he meets with President Barack Obama on March 10 in Washington. Some of the important priorities listed in the Minister of Foreign Affairs Mandate Letter are to, Improve relations with the United States, our closest ally and most important economic and security partner, and strengthen trilateral North American cooperation. This includes working to lift the Mexican visa requirement, which was imposed by the previous Conservative government and deeply resented in Mexico. Also high on the agenda is developing a continent-wide clean energy and environment agreement, as well as preparing for the next trilateral leaders summit that will be hosted by Canada sometime this year. At the 2014 North American Leaders Summit, the U.S., Canada and Mexico agreed to enhance energy collaboration, develop a continental transportation plan and establish a North American trusted traveler program. Last year, they announced an agreement to expand trusted traveler programs, which is the first steps toward the creation of a North American Trusted Traveler network. Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper was scheduled to host the 2015 leaders summit, but he postponed the meeting amid tension between Canada and the U.S. over the approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, which was pending at the time. On November 6, 2015, President Obama formally rejected the Keystone XL Pipeline, arguing that project would not serve the countrys national interests and how it would undercut U.S. climate global leadership. While Obama admitted Prime Minister Trudeau was disappointed by the decision, he also pointed out how both leaders, agreed that our close friendship on a whole range of issues, including energy and climate change, should provide the basis for even closer coordination. A statement by Prime Minister Trudeau insisted, The Canada-U.S. relationship is much bigger than any one project and I look forward to a fresh start with President Obama to strengthen our remarkable ties in a spirit of friendship and co-operation. Although the decision is a setback in enhancing North American energy integration, it does nevertheless provide an opportunity for both countries to reset relations. Just days after TransCanada was denied a permit for the Keystone XL, they were awarded a contract to build the Tuxpan-Tula Pipeline in Mexico. The company also recently launched a lawsuit over the Keystone decision. Under Chapter 11 of NAFTA, corporations have the power to challenge governmental laws and regulations that restrict their profits. Before the Obama administration rejected Keystone, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton came out against the pipeline. She stressed that, Building a clean, secure, and affordable North American energy future is bigger than Keystone XL or any other single project. Clinton followed this up by unveiling her, Vision for Modernizing North American Energy Infrastructure, which links the continents energy and climate objectives. If elected president, she has vowed to, launch negotiations with the leaders of Canada and Mexico to secure a North American Climate Compact that includes ambitious national targets, coordinated policy approaches, and strong accountability measures. With the creation of the Trilateral Working Group on Climate Change and Energy back in May 2015, the North American partners have already laid the foundation for closer cooperation on energy and the environment. During his presidency, George W. Bush pursued deeper North American ties through the Security and Prosperity Partnership. Now the Bush Institutes Economic Growth program is continuing with this agenda. Theyve launched a North America Competitiveness Initiative, which aims to further strengthen continental economic integration. In November 2015, they released the North America Competitiveness Scorecard, as a tool to compare the competitive position of the United States, Canada, and Mexico, as a region, relative to other major economic regions and countries with large economies. While North America earned a B+, the scorecard also identified areas where improvements could be made. A working group is currently developing a list of policy recommendations on issues regarding energy, human capital, and border infrastructure. The Bush Institutes Director of Economic Growth Matt Rooney stated, The key to the prosperity and security of the American people lies in a closer North American economic relationship in embracing the de facto North American community that has long existed and shaping it to ensure that it continues to enhance our security and prosperity. As part of efforts to encourage trilateral cooperation at a state and provincial level, the first-ever Summit of North American Governors and Premiers was held in October 2015. Mexican State Governor, Eruviel Avila Villegas acknowledged, We are living at an historic juncture, where local governments are becoming key transformation agents and the source of international cooperation efforts. The origin of this summit represents a big step toward the building of a North American community. When the event was first announced, a press release explained that the summit would, focus on promoting economic development and trade through improvements and innovations in infrastructure and supply chain management, education, energy technology and culture. Regional collaboration is already taking place through forums such as, the Council of the Great Lakes Region and the Annual Conference of New England Governors and Eastern Canadian Premiers. In an effort to expand economic relations and advance cross-border trade, U.S. ambassador to Canada Bruce Heyman has sent letters to the governors of all 50 U.S. states urging them to visit Canada. In the coming years, subnational governments will play a even greater role with respect to North American integration. On October 5, 2015, negotiations concluded on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which includes Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the U.S., and Vietnam. The massive Pacific Rim trade pact is scheduled to be formally signed on February 4 in New Zealand, but it will still need to be ratified by each of the member nations. Like other trade agreements that have come before it, the TPP will ultimately fail to deliver on the promise of economic growth and prosperity. The controversial deal poses significant threats to internet freedom, food safety, public health and the environment. It includes NAFTA-style investor rights that allows corporations to sue governments over decisions that may affect their future profits. The agreement contains thousands of pages of legal text and technical language, which covers a lot more than just trade. With the U.S., Canada and Mexico all a part of the TPP, it amounts to a complete renegotiation of NAFTA through the backdoor. The TPP marks another step towards greater regional cooperation and integration. The U.S.-driven trade deal changes how member countries manage their economies and businesses. It sets the rules for a new global economic order, which would further erode national sovereignty. The TPP together with the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership are part of plans to merge North America with Asia and Europe.

These globalists never mention importing the Constitution into Mexico and Canada but that would be the most obvious place to start if their true goals were to enhance freedom and prosperity in the new North American Territory. That should tell us everything we need to know about this. If pressed they probably would say something about how the North American Territory will operate under the UNs Declaration on Human Rights which, BTW, Bill Clinton characterized as the most profound statement on human rights that he had ever read. That supposed rights document is written in robust, noble language listing human right after human right, but then says that all those rights are conferred upon us by GOVERNMENT. The corollary is that the government can also take away those rights, but most people miss that point as they ooh and aah over that piece of UN garbage. What is this propaganda youre spewing? Does selfnewspost support this? New World Order global Neo-fascism? The TPP will make slaves of all free people.

1	In what has become a Thanksgiving tradition, more than 10,000 locals and tourists alike braved the cold Monday to watch the annual stuffing of the Rockefeller Center Turkey. The nationally televised event, which has rung in the holiday season for nearly 80 years, began at 5 p.m., when workers propped open the skin flaps of the 55-foot-tall bird, and pushed an 11-ton mixture of bread crumbs, onions, and other fixings into its massive trunk. 'This year's stuffing is shaping up to be the best one yet,' said Mayor Mike Bloomberg, addressing the crowd from a podium next to the giant avian carcass. 'Look at that beautiful glistening turkey!' Mayor Bloomberg rings in the Thanksgiving season. 'Let Thanksgiving begin,' Bloomberg added as he ceremoniously picked up a handful of salted butter and coagulated grease from the pile and threw it into the cheering crowd. Moments after a 150-foot-tall crane stuffed the raw turkey to overflowing, ground crews fastened the bird's gargantuan legs together with nearly 200 yards of kitchen string. According to organizers, the Rockefeller Center Turkey will be basted hourly with 30,000 gallons of natural juices, pumped from industrial hoses, to prevent it from drying out. The largest Thanksgiving centerpiece to date, the 70-foot-long turkey was personally selected by the mayor from a Maine farm and transported to Rockefeller Center on the back of a flatbed truck. Throughout its journey to the Big Apple, a record number of onlookers greeted the enormous, vacuum-sealed animal, with many a passerby scrambling to get their picture taken alongside it. 'The guidelines we use to find the perfect turkey are based not only on height, but also plumpness and just the right amount of dark meat,' said David Murbach, who has helped procure Rockefeller Center's giant turkey for the past 25 years. 'While this year we did opt for a commercially grown bird, in 2007 a family living in Vermont donated a 45-foot-tall turkey they had in their backyard.' Crowds reportedly started arriving before noon to watch the festive turkey-stuffing spectacle, which included live musical performances by Josh Groban and American Idolwinner David Cook. In addition, the entire cast of NBC's Chuck received the honor this year of walking inside the turkey's abdominal cavity to retrieve the 1,000-pound giblets packet. 'I knew the crowds were going to be huge, but I wanted my son to be here on the day all the stuffing went in,' said Cleveland resident Dean Carlson, who was visiting New York with his family. 'You should have seen the look on his face when they peeled back the skin with that giant skidder. This is something he'll remember for the rest of his life.' On Tuesday, gravy boats came up the Hudson River, while dump trucks heaped with mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and boiled corn lined Sixth Avenue for nearly a mile. Several dozen workers have also been added to the payroll to shovel congealed fat and gristle off the sidewalks until the end of December. 'You know the holidays are right around the corner when you can smell raw turkey from 50 blocks away,' SoHo resident Stephen Finney said. 'Thanksgiving in New York just wouldn't be the same without it.' According to historian Steve Medina, the custom of stuffing a Rockefeller Center turkey first started in 1931, when exhausted workers laying the plaza's foundation kept their spirits up by preparing a 10-foot-tall bird right on the construction site. The tradition quickly caught on, and has only grown in pomp and popularity since. 'The Rockefeller Center Turkey has given us so many wonderful memories over the years,' Medina said. 'From the first honey-glazed bird in 1957, to that image of Mayor LaGuardia raising those giant gizzards above his head to signal the start of another Thanksgiving season.' 'Through depression, war, and even food shortages, this incredible tradition has always endured,' Medina continued. 'Except of course for 1951, when the enormous bird rolled off a cargo train and crushed 64 people before plunging into the East River.' The Rockefeller Center Turkey will be slow-roasted from 5:30 p.m. to midnight each day until Thanksgiving, when the red button pops out, indicating that the bird is fully cooked and ready to be served. Officials claimed that the turkey would not be wasted this year, as its leftovers will be used to make enough sandwiches to last for the next 10 months. 
3	Government Freezes EBT Funds: Orders States to Withhold Transfers to Food Stamp RecipientsMac Slavo The outage lasted less than a day, but it proved what many already knew, that America had become a nation so dependent on government subsidies that any glitch in the system could lead to total pandemonium. But if you thought that isolated incident was bad, imagine what could happen next month. We say next month because the USDA, which oversees the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), has just issued an order to SNAP agency directors calling for their respective States to implement an emergency contingency program because of government funding issues. In a letter obtained by the Crossroads Urban Center food pantry, the USDA is directing state agencies to, delay their November issuance files and delay transmission to State Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) vendors until further notice. What this means is that should Congress fail to increase the debt ceiling this week, come November there will literally be millions of people in the United States who will have exactly zero dollars transferred to their EBT cards. Think this past weekend and multiply it across the entirety of the United States of America. In the State of Utah the immediate effect of the USDAs contingency plan will be a freeze in benefits for 100,000 people. Richard Phillips, a homeless man who depends on the governments monthly distributions, warned what would happen next: Its going to cause problems because then youre going to come to find out that youre going to have people starting to steal and do what they have to do to survive.

1	Pulling the congressman aside Wednesday and sitting him down in his office, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) reportedly told his likely successor, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), that he had once been young and beautiful too. There was a time when I had that youthful glow and that glimmer in my eye, just like you; but time passes, and alas, it takes its toll, said Boehner as he gently brushed the back of his hand along Ryans cheek and recalled how he had, years earlier, possessed unspoiled good looks, an innocent charm and energy, and a popularity among his party much the same as that of his heir apparent. You might not believe it looking at this old, withered shell sitting before you now, but back so many years ago in 2011, I was no different than youa bright young thing that every Republican congressman wanted to be seen around Washington with. But that doesnt last forever, my child. Once that pretty face fades and the magic melts away, they have no use for you in this businessnone at all. At press time, a single tear was rolling down Boehners cheek after the Speaker turned away in disgust from the wizened, timeworn face he glimpsed in a wall-mounted mirror.

3	Sri Lanka Bans Monsanto Herbicide Citing Deadly Link To Kidney DiseaseArjun Walia A chronic kidney disease has been affecting poor farming regions all over the world, and a new study that was published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health suggests that Roundup, or glyphosate, becomes highly toxic to the kidney once mixed with hard water or metals like cadmium and arsenic. These metals often exist naturally in the soil or are added via the fertilizer.(0)(6) The new study also noted that even the World Health Organization (WHO) found that Chronic Kidney Disease (CKDU) is caused by exposure to pesticides. Another report linked glyphosate to birth defects. The report provides a comprehensive review of the peer-reviewed scientific literature documenting the serious health hazards posed by glyphosate and roundup herbicide formulations.(2)(3) Studies have also linked glyphosate to cancer, in that it is a potential endocrine disruptor. Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that can interfere with the hormone system in mammals. These disruptors can cause developmental disorders, birth defects and cancer tumors. (4) Many countries around the world have completely banned GMOs and the pesticides that go along with them. This has been a growing trend within the past few years and will continue to move forward as the world continues to wake up. No matter the justification, herbicides make absolutely no sense.

1	Area mother of three Mary Kleibert, 54, was once again freaking out for no reason Tuesday, sources within the Kleibert family reported. Mary Kleibert 'All I did was mention that I had to go to the DMV because my license was going to expire the next day, and mom completely wigged,' said Tim Kleibert, 18, the youngest son of the freaking-out woman. 'She started totally spazzing, saying, 'What if they're closed? Then what?' and telling me that the police were going to impound my car if I drove it. I was like, 'Mom, relax.'' Upon learning of her son's 11th-hour license-renewal plan, Kleibert reportedly went seriously buggo, excitedly listing off the various potential problems he obviously hadn't even taken the time to consider. 'What if you don't pass your vision test?' Mary Kleibert asked. 'Or what if the DMV paperwork needs more than 24 hours to clear, and you're not eligible to drive until Thursday? Your father can't drive you to work tomorrow, you know: He'll be in Moline all day.' Her breathing rate audibly increasing, Kleibert reminded her son that if his driver's license is invalid, his car insurance policy would be, too. She described such a scenario as one she doesn't 'even want to think about.' Over the next five minutes, Kleibert became more agitated, despite her son's repeated assertion that renewing one's license on the last day is not a federal offense or anything. Tuesday's driver's-license incident is just one of 15 freak-outs to occur in the past month. On July 2, Kleibert went nuts when she discovered that Tim had thrown away the packaging for his new iMac computer. 'What if something goes wrong?' Kleibert, near tears, told her son. 'You can't just call in the washing-machine repairman to fix it. Don't you care about your things at all?' She then noisily stomped down the basement steps carrying a laundry basket. Kleibert went similarly hyper last Thursday, when Tim accidentally overslept, leaving him just 25 minutes to get to his job at a local grocery store. He was awakened by Kleibert, who yelled, 'It's quarter after! Do you hear me? Quarter after!' Ten minutes later, as Tim pulled out of the driveway, Kleibert stood on the front steps, shouting, 'You've got to eat breakfast! You can't just not eat!' According to husband Gerald Kleibert, 56, no one in the family is safe from the freak-outs, which range in subject from the dangers of mechanical devices to the threat of food poisoning, with special attention given to heat exhaustion, blood clots, and hems. On July 11, Gerald himself prompted his wife to flip out when he forgot to lock the empty house before running out for a newspaper, leaving the door wide open for anyone, in Kliebert's words, to 'waltz off with whatever they could carry.' 'Boy, oh, boy,' Gerald said. 'Mary really blew a gasket over that one.' Three days later, Kleibert went into another tizzy upon discovering that Gerald had failed to plan ahead for their nephew's wedding. Too late to request the day off from work, he called in sick with 'the flu' in order to attend the event. As a result of her husband's failure to plan ahead, Kleibert nervously watched the door all night, fearful that someone from her husband's workplace would wander into the wedding reception by accident. The most baffling of Kleibert's outbursts, family members said, are those involving her two eldest children, neither of whom still live at home. Without warning or provocation, Kleibert will fret loudly about Jason, 24, who 'insists on flying everywhere' despite all the airplane accidents on the news, and 22-year-old Erin, who just wanders around from one job to another without getting enough protein. Despite the preponderance of evidence suggesting otherwise, Tim said he maintains hope that when he leaves for college in August, his mother will acknowledge his adult status and not go batshit-loonball on him so much. 'She's a good mom, and I love her,' Tim said. 'But, man, she seriously needs to learn to chill.'

2	BREAKING: Trump Shocks Fans With Major Change... Will You Still Support Him After This After receiving some bad news in the polls, Donald Trump is mixing up his campaign strategy by appointing a new CEO to his campaign and promoting his pollster to campaign manager. I want to win, Trump told reporters. Thats why Im bringing on fantastic people who know how to win and love to win. Earlier this week, Trump announced that former Breitbart News boss Stephen Bannon has been elected has his new CEO. He will work closely with Kellyanne Conway, who will now act as campaign manager. Trump described them both as big people who will help him beat Hillary in November. Ive known both of them for a long time, Trump commented. Theyre terrific people, theyre winners, theyre champs, and we need to win it. Bannon could be just what Trump needs to defeat Clinton. He has previously been named the most dangerous political operative in America by Bloomberg Politics. This decision couldnt come soon enough. Trump only has 82 days to turn things around, and his supporters have started expressing fears about the direction his campaign has gone. What do you think? Can Trump keep Clinton out of the White House? 
1	Embattled quarterback Brett Favre attempted Monday to explain his recent actions concerning his recent reversal of his decision to retire by holding a press conference in which he explained his lifelong love for quitting things briefly before resuming those same things after a certain interval of time had passed. 'I'm just that kind of guy, I guessa gunslinger on one hand, but on the other, a man who knows when to stop, at least at first, but then it turns out I really didn't know when to stop after all,' Favre said. 'I guess you could say I'm a guy who quits, then realizes I don't know the meaning of the word quit.' A number of the journalists present were later heard to wonder, in light of Favre's recent inexplicable behavior, if perhaps drinking heavily were one of the things the first-ballot Hall of Famer had stopped doing before starting again. 
2	Obamas Panicking After Leaked Information From Their Past Surfaces Barack and Michelle Obama have both been stripped of their law licenses during their time in the White House, and the details of just why that happened are now being released. If you visit the official website for the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Committee, you will see all of the information you see. The group has extremely strict guidelines for membership, and they do not condone any negative behavior. Barack Obama is a former lecturer on Constitutional Law, and he is currently in his second term as U.S. President. His integrity is shot, however, especially after being caught making up constitutional quotes during a recent State of the Union Address. During the address, he commented, We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal. This of course, is from the wrong document entirely. Obama surrendered his license back in 2008 so that he could avoid being charged for lying on his application to the bar. His retirement was termed Voluntary surrender but many speculate that he would not have willingly done it unless he had no other choice. The University of Chicago has released a statement claiming that Barack Obama had served as a professor in the school of law but it was a title that Obama had never held. That same sentiment was confirmed by a spokesman for the school later that year. He did not hold the title of Professor of Law, the Assistant Dean for Communications, Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky commented. Michelle Obama also voluntarily surrendered her license in 1993, after she was given a choice by a Federal Judge to either surrender or stand trial to answer charges of insurance fraud. What do you think of these new reports?

1	In a nationally televised address reminiscent of President Kennedy's historic 1961 speech pledging to put a man on the moon, President Bush responded to the global warming crisis Monday by calling for the construction of a giant national air conditioner by the year 2015. Concept art shows how the 800-mile-wide device would function on a 'high cool' setting. 'Climate change is real and it demands a real solution,' Bush said. 'Therefore, I am committed to dedicating all of the technology, all of the brainpower, and all of the resources we need in order to keep America cool and comfortable well into the 21st century.' The National Air Conditioner Initiative is expected to be the largest public works project in the nation's history. Because technology capable of creating an air conditioner that can fulfill the cooling needs of a continental land mass does not presently exist, the president estimated that research and development alone will require at least $100 trillion in both federal and private sector funds. 'The challenge of building an air conditioner for all Americans will be the greatest we have ever faced,' Bush said. 'But we must face it. We must act now to ensure that our children and our children's children can live in a world where they don't get sweaty and have to change their shirts all the time.' <p>'We have a responsibility to future generations.' </p><p><b>President Bush</b></p> While Bush's speech left many questions unanswered, such as whether the one-touch cooling settings would be under federal or state jurisdiction, reaction from congressional Democrats and Republicans has been largely favorable. 'I applaud the administration for finally taking this issue seriously,' House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said. 'Such a giant apparatus means that Americans from all walks of life, not just the wealthy and privileged, will be able to get relief from the rise in the Earth's surface temperature. And it will create a great many jobs. Just removing and rinsing out the huge filter will require tens of thousands of seasonal laborers.' Petrochemical industry leaders voiced early support of the plan, which would stimulate additional exploration and production of oil and gas to satisfy the machine's staggering energy needs. Some fiscal conservatives, however, decry the cost of the project and the gargantuan electric bills that would result, saying that a series of mile-high oscillating fans stationed in the Pacific Northwest and blowing in the direction of the jet stream would accomplish essentially the same thing and save billions. Conservative commentator Pat Buchanan expressed his concern that illegal aliens would benefit unfairly from the air conditioner, since many of them work outside, and questioned President Bush's ability to 'seal the nation's borders in order to keep the cool air in.' Environmental groups like the Sierra Club have taken a tough stance on the president's plan, demanding it contain legally binding language that ensures the air conditioner will be switched to a special energy-conserving 'sleep' setting when the country cools off at night. The White House has shown interest in an 'economy mode' option that could be used in the event of a budgetary crisis, but it is still unknown whether such a massive unit would qualify for an Energy Star certification, let alone accommodate built-in money-saving features. The strongest opposition to the plan has come from Canada. Because the proposed National Air Conditioner would cover 90 percent of the state of North Dakota and face south, the U.S.'s northern neighbor would be directly in the path of superheated air expelled from the machine's back vents. Though Prime Minister Stephen Harper said this would create drought conditions and devastate their farmlands, most believe Canada lacks the clout to halt Bush's air-conditioning agenda. American air conditioner manufacturers, with whom President Bush reportedly consulted extensively prior to announcing the initiative, will soon be awarded tens of trillions of dollars to design and build the components necessary for the giant unit. Industry leader Lennox is expected to receive at least $30 trillion, including a massive installation fee, while the Carrier Corporation, Trane, and Amana are all jockeying for the next largest contracts. 'Global warming threatens us all, whether we're mowing our lawns, rafting down a river in a national park, or driving to the end of the driveway to get our mail,' Bush said. 'The task that lies ahead is undeniably hard. But if we do not succeed, we will be profoundly inconvenienced. And I promise you: America will not let that happen.' Speaking at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser Monday night, Al Gore said that now that Bush has taken up the cause of global warming, the former vice president and environmental activist will redirect his energies toward developing a personal spacecraft capable of transporting a family of four to a distant planet. 
2	CNN Disrespects Trump, Ivanka Responds With THIS daughter Ivanka. During the interview, Ivanka passionately defended her father, calling him the most formidable negotiator shes ever seen. She also noted that he has been a major contributor to the progression of women in the business world. My father is very blunt, she commented. Hes very direct. He is not gender specific in his criticism of people, and people that he doesnt particularly like or people that he does not like but thinks theyre wrong on a particular issue. So I dont think hes gender-targeted at all. Like I said, I wouldnt be the person I am today, I wouldnt be a high-level executive within his organization if he felt that way. What do you think of Ivankas interview? Watch it below and tell us what you think. 
1	In honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day, 11-year-old Bobby Schwartz, the only Jewish student in Mrs. Yost's fifth grade class, was asked to explain how and why Hitler murdered six million Jews during World War II. 'I thought that it was important that the students hear what happened from someone directly related to the atrocity,' said Yost of Schwartz, who simply rehashed the parts of Schindler's List his mother had allowed him to watch. 'I could see that he was uncomfortable talking to the class, but I felt it was important for him to tell people about such a defining event in his past.' Yost said she saw similar discomfort last week when Shawanda Robinson, the only black student in the class, was called upon to explain why radio host Don Imus was fired. 
3	What Is Really Wrong With the Officer Who Beat Gay Pride TeenAmanda Warren No ones talking about the disturbing comment the officer made later as justification for what the video clearly shows happening to Ariel Lawther, age 19: hairpulling, throwdown, grabbing hair as a stronghold to better punch her in the stomach multiple times. I punched Lawther in the left abdomen several times to distract her enough so I could handcuff her. And perhaps more disturbing, he followed his comment with: I quickly moved Lawther and I away from the crowd for her and my safety. While beating her Since when is sucker-punching used as a qualifieddistractionfor arrest? And pulling someone away (according to a witness, it was by the throat before a throwdown) for both the victims and officers safety? But instead of calling the officers sanity and rage into question, it becomes a discussion about her deserving it and the need to isolate a beating for safetys sake. Lawther was arrested and is charged with four counts:aggravated assault, resisting arrest, simple assault and disorderly conduct. Lawther was likely involved in an altercation with protesters at PrideFest. Again, not a call for police brutalization. He claims she was beating him up before it happened and that she confessed an apology for punching him, not knowing he was a cop. That account has been called into question due to his presence there during the afternoon and comments he made to her before the alleged altercation between her and a protester. Also, a witness said she did not fight him. He actually wrote in his report that it was her rage that made it so she couldnt see him (that he was a cop). (Why the cop worship?) During an investigation the officer is being removed off the streets; perhaps, for his own safety as he built a complex story about threats to his safety in the crowd. More absurd, is his long, more complex story about Lawther beating him up and injuring him. While we cant see what happened before he beat Lawther, the rest of what he says does not match with the video footage, and no ones mentioning that either. Because of this, his police report should come under scrutiny. Word to the wise if you want to be safe in a crowd, perhaps try not relentlessly beating a woman. Of course, even with the outrage, no one threatened the safety of this brave man. Which again, calls his testimony into serious question. If you watch the news report from WTAE, you will hear the anchor talk about an investigation to see if the force was justified. Answer: No. It almost never is. But by presenting it that way, it distracts from the core issue and implies that there might be some rationale for punching someone repeatedly while pulling hair and knocking her down. Completely shielded from the discussion are very basic, bottom line civil rights. The scary truth is that he wanted to beat her. And it didnt matter who was watching or recording. Many readers of what is often called alt-media have become just as acclimated to police brutality as the average Joe. Do not acclimate, whoever you are. Do not find reasons to justify abuse any more than you would in other types of situations such as employer-employee relationships or domestic spats. Imagine someone giving this report after a domestic dispute: I had to punch her a few times in the abdomen to distract herAnd of course, in order to effectively punch, I needed to grab hold of her hair, but only after grabbing her throat and throwing her to the concrete. That way, I could tie her hands. I pulled her away from people for our safety. She was hysterical, so I had to subdue her before I could subdue her You know how it goes Recent other articles by Amanda Warren why dont multiple people start ganging up on police when they see this crap happening! 
2	FBI Opens New Case Against Hillary For THIS In Addition To Email Scandal The FBI just opened up a new investigation in the prosecution of Hillary Clinton. This could bring Hillarys campaign to a dramatic halt. An earlier investigation was looking into Hillary about the email scandal, and is still pursing that case. However, now the FBI has opened a new investigation looking into Hillarys public corruption as Secretary of State. More specifically, they are checking to see if State Department business illegally intersected with the Clinton Foundation. The FBI noted that many previous public corruption cases have been made and successfully prosecuted with much less evidence. Hillary always seems to find her way around the law. Hopefully this time is different. Should Hillary go to prison for corruption? 
1	After politely broaching the subject last week with inquiries about recent hires and overall staff size, sources confirmed Wednesday that area man John Davies asked his friend Matthew Harrison if there were any openings at the real estate information website Zillow.com, a company Harrison works for, and which Davies constantly and relentlessly mocks behind his back. Hey, man, just out of curiosity, do you know if theyre hiring right now? Davies reportedly asked in reference to positions that hes called stupid, so fucking dumb, and once went so far as to say that he would blow [his] own brains out if [he] had Matts job. I can email you my rsum, and then if you could pass it along to human resources, that would be great. You dont mind, do you? Thanks. Reports later confirmed that Davies told Harrison that he thinks Zillow.com would be a pretty cool place to work. 
1	Denzel Washington, who on Monday finally met longtime fan Brenda Haines, found the encounter anticlimactic, the Oscar-winning actor said. 'I don't know, from her fan mail I always thought she'd be more exciting, I guess,' Washington said following his awkward four-minute conversation with the 47-year-old Pomona waitress and mother of three. 'And I'd always imagined she was taller.' 
2	Her Husband Had A Greedy Dying Wish, He Never Expected His Wife To Do THIS Many people try to do as much good as they possibly can. They do the right thing at any chance they get in order to make others lives better. They want to leave a positive legacy for them and their loved ones. Some people are like this, but many are not. Some are very into themselves and only want what they want. These people are narcissists and greedy. The man whose story I will be telling is the latter. He worked hard his entire life but he worked for himself and not the ones he loved. This man worked his entire life. He was a frugal man, some would even say cheap. He worked long hours for minimal wage, but saved 90% of the money he earned. He loved money more than anything in the tangible world. He wouldnt spend money. Instead he kept it hidden around his house. He would hide it in shoeboxes, drawers, socks, and even the air vents. The couple lived close to poverty but the man refused to ever spend the money. The man then became ill. He was on his deathbed when he asked his wife to swear to do one thing. That one thing was to bury ALL of his money with him. The wife swore on his life. The old man was lying in the casket and his widow stood next to it. Her friends and family gave their condolences and she received them well. Before the undertaker could lock the casket she runs over with a shoebox. She places the shoebox in the casket with her husband. The undertakers lock the casket and begin lowering it down into the ground. The widows best friend comes up to her and asks her if she were really stupid enough to bury the man with his money. She says, Of course. I am a good Christian and promised my dying husband. The friend then says, You cant be serious. The Widow says, I am very serious. I got it all together. Put it all in my account and then wrote the old man a check. 
3	Why You Are Insane If You Think GMOs Are SafeSayer Ji This debate about whether or not GMO foods contain problematic proteins is meant to confuse and distract from the real issue that if you eat corn, soy, cottonseed or canola containing GMO products and everyone does since nothing is truthfully labeled you are ingestingglyphosate (akaRoundup) residues. How can I say that? Because these ungodly organisms have been designed to survive the equivalent of a chemical apocalypse. GM Monoculturing using glyphosate-resistant plants requires the widespread application of a systemic life-killing concoction of chemicals to the land literally carpet bombed likeAgent Orange herbicide in Vietnam that kills every plant but the one designed to somehow resist dying after being sprayed. The result? Massive chemical injury and contamination of the plants intended to be your food. I will say it again, you are insane if you believe that ingesting Roundup contaminated food is safe, especially if you let your children consume it. In a world where Department of Children and Families can threaten to take your children away if you dont pump up to80 vaccines into them as children, knowingly letting your child eat food poisoned withglyphosate formulations, which have been linked to over40 diseases in the peer-reviewed biomedical literature should be considered at least as an egregious offense. Roundup is now found in our air, our water, our food, our rain, making avoidance nearly impossible. It is destroying the soil, including the still mostly unexplored biodiversity of the soil organisms found there, including strains of major food importance. It is found in breast milk, it is destroying the coral reefs, it exhibits carcinogenic, endocrine-disruptive properties in the parts-per-trillion range. And still, our government specifically the EPA thinks you can live with them increasing the acceptable level of harm because it is bioaccumulating everywhere, and they dont know what to do. Monsanto, of course, directs and in some way owns our government. Just look at who they have placed in positions of power if you need proof. This post is really not meant to speak to the choir. We have a million unique visitors a month, most of whom are already aware of whats going on, and who want to change the trajectory in a way that does not lead to the collapse of the biosphere, and our support system with it. This post is meant to call out those who, quite frankly, are whoring themselves to the biotech and chemicals industries. Who write articles and blogs who claim those of us who do not wish to see our children die young of idiopathic diseases, leukemia, or suffer through accelerated neurodegeneration think autism spectrum disorder related to incessant chemical exposures, are anti-science, fear mongers, irrational parents. They have blood on their hands. Despite our firm convictions,the evidence itself proves this. Yes, you are insane if you eat GMOs, or support the agenda. Ban Roundup and GMOs is the mantra I would love to see repeated, incessantly, into the future. Till its done. Then, perhaps, when the precautionary principle is implemented, we can begin to cultivate sanity again and reverse the process that is killing our planet. This article first appeared at GreenMedInfo.

1	A new $100 million 'BeefCome And Get It' ad campaign is reminding the American people of the existence of edible cow flesh. One of the new print ads designed to remind Americans that beef exists. The Kansas City-based American Beef Council launched the ambitious television and print campaign after discovering that U.S. citizens were no longer aware of the food item. 'Over the past few years, the American Beef Council let up on its promotional efforts, running very few beef ads,' council president Richard Harnisch said. 'And that lack of aggressiveness came home to roost: A recent focus-group test indicated that Americans had forgotten all about this delicious mealtime staple. When asked about beef or shown pictures of it, they seemed vague on the concept, often asking if it was some new, redder form of pork.' 'Only after repeated explanations that beef is a separate, distinct meat that has always existed did test subjects begin to understand and remember,' Harnisch said. 'We soon realized that all Americans needed to have it explained to them that beef is a delicious meat that can be purchased and eaten.' Enlisting the aid of advertising agency McCann-Erickson, the American Beef Council developed a series of TV commercials depicting rugged cattle ranchers herding steer on a majestic Wyoming ranch as spirited Aaron Copland music plays. Veteran actor Jason Robards, speaking in voice-over, says, 'There's a certain flavor to America, a hearty hunger for adventure and freedom that you can feel in the air. And taste in the beef.' Close-up shots of juicy steaks, hamburgers and beef shish-kebabs are then displayed, along with the campaign's slogan, 'BeefCome And Get It.' A group of Americans enjoy the great taste of beef. The ads already appear to be working. 'I'd completely forgotten about beef. I used to eat it all the time, well aware that it was what's for dinner,' said Tracy Karasik of Pensacola, FL, enjoying a generous cut of London broil. 'But the manufacturers and vendors of beef must have gotten really lax in their advertising, because I don't think I've eaten or even thought about the meat in some three years. If it hadn't been for this new campaign, I might have died missing the great taste of beef.' The campaign is believed to be the most successful since a 1994 American Dairy Board promotional campaign for cheese. The ads, which revolved around the slogans, 'CheeseStill Exists, Always Has' and 'Oh, Yeah... Cheese,' reminded the American eating public of cheese's existence, causing sales of the dairy product to more than triple. 
1	Despite the fact that the season is well over a month old and league standings are starting to take shape, Major League Baseball experts confirmed Monday that it is still way too early. Lots of baseball to be played between now and October, folks, leading baseball analysts, commentators, and writers have repeatedly said this week, adding that the World Series isnt won in May. At the All-Star break maybe we can talk a little more seriously. Professional analysts stated that while there is still plenty of time, it is too late for the Minnesota Twins. 
2	Sean Hannity, Judge Jeanine, Monica Crowley, And OReilly Just Released An Announcement After Trumps Leaked Video This week, Trump was the source of outrage when an audio clipped revealed the Republican presidential nominee making lewd comments about women about a decade ago. The footage incited mixed reactions. Many found it very offensive, and others brushed it off as no big deal. Regardless of your stance, one thing is clear: this is a very convenient distraction for Hillary Clinton, whose Wall Street transcripts leaked this week. In a recent segment, Sean Hannity, Judge Jeanine, Monica Crowley and OReilly all had intelligent responses to the clip. Im not defending his words, Sean Hannity tweeted. Why are you defending Bills ACTIONS and how Bill and Hillary smeared women? For all that banter between two high schoolers on a bus, he gets off the bus and, for this woman who is so gorgeous, he gives her an air kiss, Jeanine commented. Nobody is grabbing anybody. Nobody is touching anybody. And were talking about something Donald Trump said, laughing with another guy, 11 years ago? Monica Crowley responded. You know what, Sean? Russia today essentially threatened the United States with World War III with nuclear weapons, and were talking about something Donald J Trump was joking about 11 years ago? This country has serious problems, and we need to be focused on that. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	Armed with newly acquired strategies on team leadership, effective communication, and workplace sensitivity, President Barack Obama returned to the Oval Office this morning after spending the past three days at a management seminar, White House sources confirmed. The professional-development conference reportedly took place at the Marriott Marquis in downtown Washington, where the president joined dozens of business managers from across the mid-Atlantic region for a series of presentations, workshops, and team-building activities aimed at enhancing supervisory skills and fostering confident decision-making. This wasnt exactly something I wanted to do, but I figured if I was going to be there for three days I might as well make the most of it, said Obama, noting that the seminar kicked off in the hotels Ballroom 2A, where he registered at the check-in table, wrote Barack on his name tag, and then began the first days session by playing the ice-breaking game Two Truths And A Lie with other attendees. As it turns out, I got to talking to some of the other attendees, and we found out were faced with a lot of the same kinds of challenges, like organization and budgeting. So we bonded a little bit over that. I hit it off right away with this guy Tom [Hanley, co-owner of Hanley Comprehensive Payroll Services] from Reston, the president continued. He runs the third-largest payroll processor in the region. We ended up sitting next to each other for most of the presentations and even grabbing a beer Tuesday in the hotel bar. Great guy. Obama said the seminar, called Essentials of Effective Management: Engagement, Performance, and Execution, used hands-on workshops to develop the creative and analytical skills of the programs 80 attendees who represented companies from six local states and the District of Columbia, ranging from Johnson Bros. Vending to PrimeMark Commercial Real Estate. The course also reportedly focused on the four Cs of managementcommunicate, collaborate, coordinate, and createa framework the president described as an easy way to remember some pretty important stuff. The commander-in-chief stated that, to his surprise, he even found himself enjoying some of the seminars activities. In particular, Obama cited an afternoon brain-building exercise on day two, during which he and his teammates Don Worley and Jim Meredith, both from Baxter Tour & Travel Motorcoach Lines, were handed three seemingly random objectsa roll of tape, a tube of toothpaste, and an egg cartonand then given 30 minutes to come up with a new product and create a business model for marketing it to consumers. In the role-playing session Tough Scenarios, sources said Obama was paired up with Wilmington-based PR director Mary Westgerdes and presented with a series of management predicaments to act out in front of the group, such as how to confront an employee about dressing professionally and what not to say when addressing a subordinate of the opposite gender. OnPoint Marketing Solutions, LLC founder Ron Davies, who taught the 44th president in the workshops Critical Thinking, Analytical Thinking and Managing at the Speed of Trust, said he enjoyed watching Obamas progress over the course of three days. Barack did quite well for a first-time participant, said Davies, recalling the presidents performance during Deduction, a game in which conference-goers had to guess one anothers favorite month, animal, food, TV show, and color. He was really earnest about his ideas, but he wasnt afraid to use humor, either. When we asked attendees to name their biggest weakness, he said, Cooking for my wife, which got a pretty big laugh. He worked very well under Dale [Garver], his team leader, Davies continued. Dales team really stood out during our time management challenges. The president remarked that he particularly enjoyed the seminars keynote address from Pitney Bowes regional vice president Beth Meeks, saying that she made some good points and seemed to reach a lot of people with her speech, titled Dont Tell Your Brands Story: Sell Your Brands Story. But Obama stressed that some of the best moments of the conference came when he got the opportunity to network and trade business cards with fellow attendees when he bumped into them in the Marriott hallway or during their scheduled hour-long break between morning and afternoon sessions when he and a few fellow attendees would head out to lunch at a nearby Panera Bread. Id say that the seminar was a good experience overall, said the president of the United States, who received a certificate of administrative excellence for completing the three-day, $1,900 seminar. I definitely picked up a few strategies that might help me out in cabinet meetings. Even if I dont end up using that stuff every day, its not a big deal, because the whole thing was paid for by work. And at least I got three days away from the office, which was nice, he added. Hopefully I dont have too much piled up on my desk when I get back. 
2	Hillary And Dems Using The Same Method As Hitler Used To Conquer Germany Anti-Trump protests have been springing up all throughout the country, and they are getting increasingly more violent. Weve seen video after video of these protesters being crude, brutal and viciousgoing above and beyond in an attempt to stop Trump from connecting with his audience. This is a strategy weve seen before, when Hitler conquered Germany and then Europe. When Hitler was campaigning, he gained control over Germany because his Brown Shirts, also known as the Sturmabteilung, disrupted the meetings and rallies of his opponents with violence. Recently, Trump rioters broke the glass doors of the convention center where he was appearing, taunted police and jumped on police cars. The demonstration quickly devolved into a riot. Watch the video footage of the disturbance below and tell us what you think. 
3	Obamas Super Secret Treaty Which Will Push The Deindustrialization Of America Into OverdriveMichael Snyder If you have not heard about this treaty, dont feel bad. Obama has refused to even give Congress a copy of the draft agreement and he has banned members of Congress from attending the negotiations. The plan is to keep this treaty secret until the very last minute and then to railroad it through Congress and have it signed into law by October. The treaty is known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and the nations that are reported to be involved in the development of this treaty include the United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Peru, Brunei, Singapore, Vietnam and Malaysia. Opponents of this treaty refer to it as the NAFTA of the Pacific, and if it is enacted it will push the deindustrialization of America into overdrive. The one world economic agenda that Barack Obama has been pushing is absolutely killing the U.S. economy. As you will see later in this article, we are losing jobs and businesses at an astounding pace. And each new free trade agreement makes things even worse. For example, just check out the impact that the recent free trade agreement that Obama negotiated with South Korea is having on us So why have they declined by 10 percent? Did someone make a really bad deal? And of course we have all seen the economic devastation that NAFTA has wrought. When NAFTA was pushed through Congress in 1993, the United States actually had a trade surplus with Mexico of 1.6 billion dollars. By 2010, we had a trade deficit with Mexico of 61.6 billion dollars. And free trade with China has turned out to be a complete and total nightmare as well. In 2012, our trade deficit with China was 315 billion dollars. That was the largest trade deficit that one nation has had with another nation in the history of the world. But instead of learning from the mistakes of the past, Barack Obama is pressing for more free trade agreements. The New York Times is calling the Trans-Pacific Partnership the most significant international commercial agreement since the creation of the World Trade Organization in 1995. It is reportedly going to include a whole host of provisions which would never be able to get through Congress on their own. Even though this treaty will affect all of our daily lives, the Obama administration is keeping this treaty a total secret. In fact, Obama wont even show it to Congress even though members of Congress have asked repeatedly to see it The agreement, under negotiation since 2008, would set new rules for everything from food safety and financial markets to medicine prices and Internet freedom. It would include at least 12 of the countries bordering the Pacific and be open for more to join. President Obama has said he wants to sign it by October. Although Congress has exclusive constitutional authority to set the terms of trade, so far the executive branch has managed to resist repeated requests by members of Congress to see the text of the draft agreement and has denied requests from members to attend negotiations as observers reversing past practice. While the agreement could rewrite broad sections of nontrade policies affecting Americans daily lives, the administration also has rejected demands by outside groups that the nearly complete text be publicly released. So exactly who in the world does this guy think that he is? Why wont Obama let us know exactly what is in this treaty? Fortunately, there have been a few leaks. One thing that we have discovered is that this new treaty would reportedly ban all Buy American laws. That certainly would not be popular if it got out. And do you remember SOPA? The American people wanted nothing to do with the very strict Internet copyright provisions of SOPA and loudly expressed their displeasure to members of Congress. Unfortunately, now the provisions of SOPA are back. It is being reported that most of the provisions of SOPA have been quietly inserted into this treaty. If this treaty is enacted, those provisions will become law and the American people will not be able to do anything about it. And according to the New York Times, there are all sorts of other disturbing things that have been slipped into the treaty Are you starting to understand why the Obama administration is keeping this treaty such a secret? So please share this article with as many people as you can. We have got to get the American people educated about this. Enough damage has already been done to the U.S. economy by free trade agreements. Just consider the following statistics -The United States has lost more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities since 2001. -Back in the year 2000, there were more than 17 million Americans working in manufacturing. Now there are less than 12 million. -There are less Americans working in manufacturing today than there was in 1950 even though the population of the country has more than doubled since then. -According to the Economic Policy Institute, America is losing half a million jobs to China every single year. -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. -Today, corporate profits as a percentage of U.S. GDP are at an all-time high, but wages as a percentage of U.S. GDP are near an all-time low. -Without enough good jobs, more Americans are becoming dependent on the government. If you can believe it, the number of Americans on food stamps has gone from about 17 million in the year 2000 to more than 47 million today. -Overall, the United States has run a trade deficit of more than 8 trillion dollars with the rest of the world since 1975. And things continue to get even worse. The Institute for Supply Management manufacturing index declined to 49.0 in May. Any reading below 50 indicates contraction. That was the lowest reading that we have seen since June 2009. Just like most of the rest of the world, we are rapidly heading toward another major economic downturn. And if you want a perfect visual example of what deindustrialization is doing to America, just look at the city of Detroit. It was once one of the greatest manufacturing cities in the history of the world, but now it is a rotting, decaying, festering hellhole. According to the New York Times, there are now approximately 70,000 abandoned buildings in Detroit, and at this point the city is so broke that there is talk that the female giraffe at the Detroit Zoo could be sold off to help pay the bills. For much more on how deindustrialization is ripping the guts out of the U.S. economy, please see the following articles 1) 55 Reasons Why You Should Buy Products That Are Made In America What Barack Obama is trying to do is a mind blowing mistake. The one world economic agenda that he is pursuing is destroying the American worker and the American middle class. U.S. workers are being thrown into a global labor pool with workers on the other side of the planet that live in countries where it is legal to pay slave labor wages. Do you want to directly compete with a worker on the other side of the globe that is doing your job for a dollar an hour with no benefits? If not, you need to stand up and make your voice be heard. There is no way in the world that American workers should have to compete for jobs with workers making slave labor wages in communist China. What we desperately need are some red-blooded economic patriots to arise and to tell both political parties that we do not want this one world economic agenda. So what do you think? Will the American people wake up, or will our economy continue to lose thousands of businesses and millions of jobs?

1	Citing its strong character and imperial heritage, a report from the local gentry confirmed Tuesday that when considering a name for ones son, one could do little better than Fritz, for it is truly a fine, fine name for a boy. Fritz is an excellent name for a young boy; a strong name; a virile name, said local patriarch Karl Schnburg-Graetz, adding that any strapping young chap would be blessed to bear a Christian moniker with a pedigree as fine as Fritzwhy, sources confirmed, it is what his own dear grandpapa was named, dont you know? For centuries, noble young boys have been named Fritz, and whyever not? It is a fine name, ideally suited to any firstborn son, such as my own, who is thusly called. Schnburg-Graetz went on to add that, as far as names for a boy are concerned, Felix would simply not do.

Szilagyi, who finished 15th at the Beijing Olympics, dominated the first period of regulation, taking a 7-0 lead and setting the tone for the remainder of the final byfuck it all to hell, it's impossible to stomach one more second of this tedious nonsense. 'This is unbelievableI'm so happy and proud right now,' said Szilagyi, who, big surprise, uttered the same exact banal horseshit as every other victorious Olympian. 'I'll never forget this moment.' 'It's a dream come true,' added Szilagyi, enunciating the trite sentiment that has already been declared about 15 billion times during this Olympics. The lone representative from Hungary in a field of 36 competitors, Szilagyi is ranked sixth in the world by the International Fencing Federation, but the 22-year-old underdog was unstoppable on his way to the winner's podium as, oh God, please take pity and make these irritating, tiresome, and drawn-out Olympics stop right now. If you're some kind of all-powerful deity it should be no problem at all to shut this shit down, sources confirmed. According to Olympic records, Szilagyi's unlikely victory marks the first time Hungary has won a gold medal in fencing since nobody fucking cares. In addition to Szilagyi's shocking triumph in fencing, American Jordyn Wieber rebounded from her devastating elimination from the all-around gymnastics finals to lead the United States to gold in the team competition and provide just the most heartwarming moment for oafish broadcasters to gush incessantly about camaraderie, determination, and memories with a slew of vapid and syrupy remarks. 'I've worked all my life for this moment [please stop talking],' Wieber said. 'We [put a sock in it] believed in ourselves and knew we could accomplish [you cloying little shit] our goal by working together.' The inspirational moments, however, took a backseat to a scandal that rocked the games and resulted in the disqualification of eight female badminton players and nobody reportedly gives a shit, really, it's just badminton, and there are a hundred other dumbass sports with nets and things. Sources confirmed the Olympic coverage of the expulsions would just drag on and on and on with no merciful end in sight. After winning their first two matches in London, U.S. beach volleyball players Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor lost their first-ever set in the Olympics, ending a 32-set winning streak that sweet fucking Jesus, it's hopeless, forget it, this monotonous and horrifying nightmare is never going to be over. As of press time, an imponderable number of forgettable accomplishments, flat jubilation, insipid comments, and bland observations are slated to recur countless times during the unfathomable abyss of Olympic events scheduled for the next seven goddamn miserable cock-sucking assholes days. 'It was really an honor to' a kayak slalom participant said before reporters walked away because we're done talking to people who do things called kayak slalom. 
3	Snowden: Nobel Peace Prize NomineeStephen Lendman Swedish Sociology Professor Stefan Svallfors nominated him. He praised his heroic effort at great personal cost. He revealed NSAs lawless global spying. He told millions worldwide what they need to know. He did so at great risk. He deserves high praise, not persecution. He showed individuals can stand up for fundamental rights and freedoms, said Svallfors. His nominating letter states: Best committee members! I suggest that the 2013 Peace Prize (be) awarded to the American citizen Edward Snowden. Edward Snowden has in a heroic effort at great personal cost revealed the existence and extent of the surveillance, the US government devotes electronic communications worldwide. By putting light on this monitoring program conducted in contravention of national laws and international agreements Edward Snowden has helped to make the world a little bit better and safer. Through his personal efforts, he has also shown that individuals can stand up for fundamental rights and freedoms. This example is important because since the Nuremberg trials in 1945 (its) been clear that the slogan I was just following orders (rings hollow) as an excuse for acts contrary to human rights and freedoms. Despite this, it is very rare that individual citizens have the insight of their personal responsibility and courage Edward Snowden showed in his revelation of the American surveillance program. The decision to award the 2013 prize to Edward Snowden would in addition to being well justified in itself also help to save Nobel (Committee members) from the(ir) disrepute (resulting from) the hasty and ill-conceived decision to award US President Barack Obama 2009 award. It would show (their) willingness to stand up in defense of civil liberties and human rights, even when such a defense (would) be viewed with disfavour by the worlds dominant military power. Sincerely, Stefan Svallfors Honoring Obama wasnt the first disgraceful award. Many others preceded it. More followed. Nobel hypocrisy is longstanding. Worthy recipients are rare. War criminals win often. Doing so mocks peace. It reflects gross injustice. Perhaps committee members believe war is peace. Dont expect them to explain why scoundrels regularly win. Political expediency, not worthiness, matters most. Russian Duma International Committee of the Russian State head Alexey Pushkov is right, saying: Not in a million years will the United States allow Snowden to get the Peace Prize. But his nomination is significant. Many in the West see him as a champion of democracy. Millions do worldwide. This type support is reward enough. Its priceless. It cant be bought. It cant be denied. It cant be ignored. It has meaning. Its what Nobel scoundrels lack integrity to do whats right regardless of risks involved. Svallfors is credentialed to submit nominations. Qualified individuals include: members of national assemblies and governments; international courts members; university rectors; social sciences, history, philosophy, law and theology professors; peace research organizations; foreign policy institutes; former Nobel recipients; active Nobel Committee members; and Annual awards are supposed to be given to person(s) who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies, and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses. Nobel words ring hollow. Awards reflect polar opposite principles. Theyre not what members claim. It happens with disturbing regularity. It doesnt surprise. Snowdens eligible for the December 2014 award. The deadline for this years nominations ended in February. Winners are invited to Oslo to receive it. Snowden cant come. Norway rejected his asylum request. Washington pressured its decision. Aftenposten is Norways largest circulation broadsheet. It said granting him asylums the diplomatic equivalent of war on America. Its why most countries reject him. They cravenly support whats wrong. Norways a NATO country. The North Atlantic Alliance is Americas imperial tool. Its a killing machine. Its for offense, not defense. It advances Washingtons imperium. It does so destructively. Norways one of 12 founding members. Its been one since April 4, 1949. Imagine if China, Russia, Venezuela, Iran, or other independent countries pressured Norway and other Western countries not to grant one of their citizens asylum. Their request would be denied. Their ambassadors would be called on the carpet. Perhaps theyd be expelled. Western hypocrisy is longstanding. Double standards are common practice. Washington rules apply. Rule of law principles are spurned. Democratic values are mocked. Honor and integrity dont matter. It doesnt surprise. On July 16, Russia Today headlined Russia receives Snowden temporary asylum request, saying: Russias Federal Migration Service(FMS) confirmed receipt. Processing may take several months. In the meantime, hell either be transferred temporarily to a refugee center or allowed to choose his own accommodations. A previous article said hell be given freedom of movement. Hell get special permit permission to do so. Hell have it in a matter of days. According to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, Putins apprised of whats happening. He abstained from the process. If we are talking about temporary asylum, then this issue is not for the president, but the FMS, where it is not even reviewed on a chiefs level, said Peskov. On Tuesday, human rights lawyer Anatoly Kucherena said Snowden handed over his application to Sheremetyevos (FMS) staff. I told him about all the intricacies of the procedure. It was decided that a staff member from the FMS office will come to the airport to accept Snowdens temporary asylum request, as he is not allowed to leave Sheremetyevos transit zone. He is being pursued by the US government. Thats what he wrote. I am quoting and he fears for his life, safety, that he will be tortured or receive the death penalty. His situation is very difficult. Hes a man without a country. Hes wrongly pursued for doing the right thing. Hes no criminal. Hes undecided whether to remain in Russia or move to a permanent safe haven. If granted temporary asylum, he may decide to say if permitted to do so. He had a choice. He could have applied for political or temporary asylum. He chose the latter because review time is months shorter. Hes tired of living in airport transit zone limbo. Temporary asylum grants humanitarian status. It postpones or avoids deportation. If approved, he can stay in Russia 12 months. He can be granted another year and a third. Perhaps longer with FMS approval. According to FMS Public Chamber head Vladimir Volokh: For the next several days, Snowden will either remain in Sheremetyevos transit zone or move temporarily to an asylum center. Right now we are beginning the first stage the definition of (his) legal status, Volokh said. He would have to be in the transit area, or FMS can transfer him to the temporary accommodation for refugees for internally displaced persons. Russia Today interviewed Anatoly Kucherena. He explained the complexities of Russias asylum process. Its decision to review his request is based on human rights considerations. In terms of his legal status, said Kucherena, receiving political asylum or temporary asylum would not change status. In terms of receiving political asylum status, the procedure is quite long 6 months. Receiving temporary asylum will only take up to 3 months. He chose this option. Hes tired of transit zone limbo. He wants resolution soon as possible. If FMS rules in favor of his petition, he will be issued a refugee ID. It permits free movement anywhere for a year. Hell have full rights and privileges of a Russian citizen. Hell make his own accommodation arrangements. Kucherena agreed to represent him. Russias humane approach in resolving this issue, without a doubt bears witness to the fact that no matter who or which country the individual comes from, in times of such difficult personal troubles, we have to act humanely toward that individual, he said. I believe that under such circumstances and his written petition, it is necessary for him to be granted temporary asylum. I think it will be a humane step, and since Russia is acting humanly, the US government cannot view it as a hostile step or hostile behavior toward the US. Kucherena believes Snowdens a man of his word. Hes morally and legally right. His fears are credible. Hes ideologically driven. He calls it unacceptable to violate universal human rights on such a large scale. He may decide to stay in Russia. He told Kucherena hed like to stay. If granted permission hell become a citizen with all rights and privileges. For now, Russias his safest option. Travel outside its borders is too hazardous to risk. He may decide to stay permanently. Hes got plenty of time to resolve his final status. Hell get competent help doing so. A Final Comment The Movement of the Icelandic Parliament, EU Pirate parties, and former Tunisian Secretary of State for Sport Youth nominated Bradley Manning for the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize. So did past award winner Mairead Maguire, saying: I have chosen to nominate US Army Pfc Bradley Manning, for I can think of no one more deserving. His incredible disclosure of secret documents to Wikileaks helped end the Iraq War, and may have helped prevent further conflicts elsewhere. Manning connected important dots. He did so for millions. He exposed war horrors graphically. He did so at great risk. He suffered horrendously for doing the right thing. Maguires right. No ones more deserving. Let America try explaining why it plans imprisoning a peace prize honoree. Lift the bar beyond its reach. Show its ugly face. Make it answerable for gross injustice. Let the whole world know better than before. Eugene Debs should have won. In 1924, he was nominated. Nobel Committee members rejected him. On April 13, 1919, he was imprisoned. He opposed WW I. He was against Americas involvement. He spoke for two hours. He was convicted. At sentencing, he spoke again. Journalist Heywood Broun called his speech one of the most beautiful and moving passages in the English language. He was for that one afternoon touched with inspiration. If anyone told me that tongues of fire danced upon his shoulders as he spoke, I would believe it. In part, he said: Your honor, I have stated in this court that I am opposed to the form of our present government; that I am opposed to the social system in which we live; that I believe in the change of both but by perfectly peaceable and orderly means. I am thinking this morning of the men in the mills and factories. I am thinking of the women who, for a paltry wage, are compelled to work out their lives; of the little children who, in this system, are robbed of their childhood, and in their early, tender years, are seized in the remorseless grasp of Mammon, and forced into the industrial dungeons, there to feed the machines while they themselves are being starved body and soul. Your honor, I ask no mercy. I plead for no immunity. I realize that finally the right must prevail. I never more fully comprehended than now the great struggle between the powers of greed on the one hand and upon the other the rising hosts of freedom. I can see the dawn of a better day of humanity. The people are awakening. In due course of time they will come into their own. Your Honor, years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free. He appealed his conviction to the Supreme Court. It rejected him. In 1920, he ran for president in Atlanta, GA prison. He got 919,799 write-in votes. On December 23, 1921, Warren Harding commuted his sentence to time served. He wasnt pardoned. He returned to Terre Haute, IN. Thousands greeted him. In 1924, Finish socialist Kark Wiik nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize. He did so because Debs work(ed) actively for peace during WW 1. He considered it waged for the interest(s) of capitalism. No award was granted that year. On October 20, 1926, heart failure took him. On October 26, a supporter said his epitaph should read: He who labored incessantly for others, at last found rest. He who waged ceaseless strife on behalf of his brothers has entered into the eternal peace.

2	No Media Is Reporting What Just Happened To Trump in Detroit So We Will The liberal media struggled to keep their storyline about Donald Trump when the GOP nominee received a prayer shawl and standing ovation following his speech to a historically black church in Detroit. The Great Faith Ministries Church in Detroit appeared to welcome Trump with open arms, and seemed quite impressed with his speech. Id like to conclude with a passage from First John, Chapter 4, Donald Trump commented during his speech. You know it! You see most groups I speak to dont know that. But we know. If you want we can say it together: No one has ever seen God, but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. The speech was a powerful one, so its no surprise the liberal media decided to interrupt the programmingbut not without the audience taking notice. We will have Trumps speech from Detroit church up in a minute, RSBN TV tweeted to their audience. Funny how the MSM cut the feed the moment Bishop was blessing him. I fully understand that the African-American community has suffered from discrimination, Trump told his audience during the speech. And that there are many wrongs that must still be made right. They will be made right. He then encouraged Americans to turn toward God to lift up the soul of our nation. And it is my prayer that America of tomorrow, and I meant that, that the America of tomorrow will be one of unity, togetherness and peaceand perhaps we can add the word prosperity, he said, and was met with applause. Trump also praised the church for their efforts in the community. Watch his full speech below and tell us what you think. 
2	White House Tells Pearl Harbor Vets To Get Over it This week, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest outraged Americans everywhere when he said it was natural for World War II veterans to be embittered about Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abes visit to Pearl Harborbefore urging them to just get over it. On Monday, it was announced that Abe will be the first Japanese leader to visit Pearl Harbor since it was hit by surprise attack the robbed 2,403 America lives and brought the U.S. into World War II. The visit reciprocates President Obamas visit to Hiroshima earlier this year, BPR reports. In a short statement, Abe said he would pray for those that died in the war. When asked if veterans may be offended by Abes visit, Earnest responded by saying that veterans may feel embittered if they fought personally in World War II. If I were a World War II veteran who was drafted by the United States military to go and fight for our country overseas in the aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attack, I might feel quite embittered, and I think it would be a perfectly natural and understandable human reaction to not be particularly satisfied with the words of the Japanese Prime Minister, Earnest said. He then followed up by saying those veterans should overcome those feelings. Yes, there may be some who feel personally embittered, he concluded. But Im confident that many will set aside their own personal bitterness, not because theyre personally satisfied by the words of the Prime Minister, but because they recognize how important this moment is for the United States. 
2	HAPPENING NOW: The War Just Started, France Is On The Move... Heres Where Violence continues to escalate overseas, after French fighter jets bombed a series of ISIS-operated sites in Syria on Sunday. The French targeted a command center, a recruitment center, an ammunition storage base and a training camp for the terror group, according to a statement released by Frances defense ministers press adviser, Mickael Soria. Soria also noted that twelve aircrafts were involved in the airstrikes, and around twenty bombs were dropped. Raqqa, the primary target, has been claimed by ISIS to be their capital. The attack was a response to the terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday. It didnt take long for ISIS to claim responsibility for the tragedysomething that France has deemed an act of war. Sora claims that all the targets were destroyed. What do you think? Do you stand with France? 
2	See How Obama Backed Down After Ted Cruz Destroyed Him On Israel According to reports, President Obama has started to put a major strain on the United States with Israel. The negative reaction stemmed from the president warning the Israeli military not to invade Gaza, and then criticizing them when they did. Allegedly, he decided to hold them responsible for Palestinian casualties, instead of the Hamas. Now, Obama has decided to place a ban on flights in and out of the country, effectively cutting Israel off from the outside world. According to Senator Ted Cruz, since the State Department has refused to answer his questions about the ban, he is going to hold all State Department nominees. Is the Obama administration giving 47 million dollars that will go to Hamas who is actively trying to kill civilians while simultaneously imposing millions of dollars of economic harms on our friend and ally Israel? The State Department needs to answer those questions, Cruz told TPNN. I announced today that in response to that refusal to answer from the State Department, I intend to hold all State Department nominees until they answer these questions. Congress deserves to know and the American people deserve to know, was this politics from the White House or was this an airline safety decision and I think the facts strongly suggest it was politics in an effort to strong arm the nation of Israel. Soon after the comments, the ban was suddenly lifted, and it appears that Cruzs claims that political motivations were driving the decision were not far off. What do you think? Is this latest action just another reason for Obama to be impeached? 
1	WASHINGTON, DCThe Bulletin Of The Atomic Scientists published a report Tuesday revealing what the international community has long suspected: The government of North Korea simply enjoys nuclear talks. 'After years of protracted talks about strategic versus domestic nuclear programs and launch and delivery tactics, it's become increasingly evident that North Korea's stalling tactics stem from a deep desire to chat about nukes,' said Ambassador Linton Brooks, chief of the National Nuclear Security Administration. 'We are beginning to think that behind all this nuclear brinksmanship are 12 high-level scientists and politicians who enjoy getting together, kicking back, and making a weekend out of it.' Although North Korea Prime Minister Pak Pong Ju had no comment on the report, members of his cabinet said they 'would be delighted' to get together and discuss the matter further. 
3	Brawl For Charity: NYPD vs. FDNYAmanda Warren While it is hasnt been explicitly reported, Im going to take a wild guess that it was the NYPD who initiated the 25-minute brawl that youll see a piece of in the video below, as this particular police department always seems to be a hairs breadth away from gratuitous displays of violence. In a final note of irony, the charity event takes place in order to raise money for the New York Police and Fire Widows and Childrens Benefit Fund as these peace officers swing at their brethren with bad intentions, surely hoping to create a few more widows and fatherless children. by Megan McLeod New Yorks finest and bravest took their gloves off during a charity hockey game this weekend and it was all caught on camera. The benches are clear! Yeah, well this was the scene at the Nassau Coliseum midway through the second period of yesterdays game. (Via WNBC) While its not clear why it all started, WABC reports the annual NYPD-FDNY charity hockey game resulted in a bench-clearing brawl in Long Island Sunday. WNYW says it took quite some time before the game could resume. The brawl caused a 25-minute delay, they had to go out and pick up the equipment and referees had to tally up the penalties and ejected players. There didnt appear to be any serious injuries. (Via WNYW) Deadspin reports the FDNY has won the last five years, but the NYPD took home the 8-5 victory Sunday. The publication joked, In addition to that snapped streak, fans also got to watch New Yorks finest and bravest trade blows on the ice like minor league goons. According to Newsday, neither the NYPD or FDNY have commented on the brawl. The annual hockey game raises money for the New York Police and Fire Widows and Childrens Benefit Fund.

2	UN Troops Head To Texas Find Out Why [VIDEO] For months now, we have been hearing about the various mysterious activities going on in Texas as the government prepares for Operation Jade Helm and Obama slowing implements martial law. The story has gotten much weirder after witnesses reported seeing 30 UN vehicles fully loaded with combat prepared troops driving through Texas. This Facebook post by a vietnam vet is going viral, when he was recently driving through Dallas, Texas when he saw the UN vehicles. The trucks were driving down I-30 headed towards Garland, Texas, where a terrorist attack was launched over the weekend. What do you think this mean? Does this concern you? 
2	Obama Betrays American, Makes Sickening Move Against U.S. Police President Obama made quite a few enemies a couple months back, when he decided to blame American police officers for the race riots breaking out throughout the country. Of course, he had nothing to say about the protesters themselves. Ever since the president virtually endorsed their actions, the attacks on cops have dramatically increased. Now, Obamas Department of Justice has just made a decision that puts the security of our nation in jeopardy, and law enforcement even more vulnerable. The Department of Justice reportedly sent a message to law enforcement agencies, stripping them of some vital equipment they use for protection. The email went out just twenty minutes before the shooting in Oregon, and now Obama is attempting to strip officers of the equipment they need to do their jobs. Of course, hes receiving significant backlash from the law enforcement community. The equipment made available through federal grants and programs at pennies on the dollar are invaluable tools for law enforcement deputies and officers around the country, Jonathan F. Thompson, executive director and CEO of the National Sheriffs Association said in a stamen. One need only look at recent incidents, including the tragedy yesterday in Oregon, to see how this equipment is needed by our agencies and officers. What do you think? Is this a terrible move on Obamas part? 
1	A new report from the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned Monday that global warming is likely to become completely irreversible if no successful effort is made to slow down the trend before 2006. Unless greenhouse-gas emissions are drastically reduced by then, the report concludes, it will be too late to avoid inflicting a grave environmental catastrophe upon future generations. 'We have absolutely no time to waste,' said Dr. William Tumminelli, lead author of the report, which stresses it is utterly crucial the world cut its carbon footprint in half by the year 2000. 'If we wait until 1998 or even 1995 to really start doing something about climate change, our planet's rising temperature will already have set in motion a series of devastating and irreparable long-term consequences. We need to have strict international rules in place well ahead of 2006 or, to be blunt, many of the earth's inhabitants will be doomed.' 'The situation could not possibly be more urgent,' Tumminelli added. The IPCC reportthe most comprehensive study of its kind ever undertakenestimates the failure to address global warming immediately could result in sea levels rising 6 inches by the end of the 20th century, 2000-2009 being the hottest decade ever recorded, and roughly half the Arctic ice cap melting by 2011. Even before 2006, when the report indicates the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will reach 'entirely unmanageable levels,' scientists confirm the likelihood of an alarming increase in the frequency and severity of hurricanes, floods, heat waves, and droughts, which could lead to death tolls in the hundreds of thousands. 'Climate change is the deadliest crisis currently facing humanity, so needless to say, we can expect it to be the dominant issue of the 2000 presidential election,' Brookings Institution political analyst Gloria Leting said. 'It stands to reason that, as the world's foremost producer of greenhouse gases, the United States will want to take the lead in preventing this disaster while we still have time.' 'We can also count on hearing U.S. Senate candidates make firm campaign promises to ratify the Kyoto Protocol as soon as they take office,' continued Leting, referring to the U.N. accord that aims to enforce emission standards starting in 2005. 'Our elected officials realize Americans don't want to suffer the embarrassment of not being among the first nations to approve such an vitally important agreement.' The report also outlines a set of year-by-year goals aimed at curbing emissions prior to 2006, such as weatherizing all homes by 1979, replacing household light bulbs with compact fluorescent models by 1985, phasing out fossil fuels by 1992, and taking steps to ensure the world population never reaches the 'exceedingly dangerous' 7 billion mark. If the 2006 deadline isn't met, climatologists warn the world will eventually experience planet-wide cataclysms, including massive shortages of potable water, insufficient crop productivity, the extinction of numerous species, and unprecedented outbreaks of famine and pandemic disease. 'The picture by the end of the 21st century becomes quite bleak, frankly,' Dr. Tumminelli said. 'I, for one, would not want to live in the world this report describes: entire Asian cities underwater from monsoon flooding, mass human diasporas, wars fought over the scraps of habitable land still remaininghell on earth, basically. Our only hope is for the nations of the world to put aside their individual interests and take decisive action by 2006.' Although the report represents the collaborative efforts of several thousand scientists, some observers expressed doubt about the objectivity of the study. 'I think the report is a bit reactionary, and perhaps even politically motivated.' said Arthur Bainbridge, a climate policy specialist based in Washington. 'Plenty of alternative models have estimated 2008 or even 2010 as the absolute point of no return.' 
1	It is an hour past sunset on a brisk Thursday night, and, like their brethren around the globe, the Jews of this affluent Detroit suburb are gathered in synagogues, busily hatching plots for world domination through financial chicanery and media influence. But for Seth Nussbaum, it will be just another lonely evening. Nussbaum 'For some reason, they've decided to leave me out of the worldwide Jewish conspiracy,' said Nussbaum, a 34-year-old computer programmer. 'And I can't say it doesn't hurt.' While his fellow Jews are controlling the flow of billions of dollars of international currency and brokering multi million-dollar entertainment deals, on this quiet night Nussbaum is making himself a frozen pizza and watching ER, far removed from any money beyond the $28,000 annual salary he receives from his job at Cyntech Industries. 'Who's to say I wouldn't enjoy hoarding a little gold every now and then?' he said, his voice tinged with bitterness. 'Believe me, I'd love to be able to sneak around behind the scenes like the Elders of Zion, pulling the strings and holding the real power in society. But I guess when it comes to working the Jerusalem-New York-L.A. triangle, I just wasn't one of the chosen people.' Unlike millions of other Jews around the world, Nussbaum holds no sway over the media, has no powerful friends within the Wall Street banking community or the Trilateral Commission, and has never run a major Hollywood studio. Though its influence stretches to all corners of the globe, the worldwide Jewish conspiracy has, for mysterious reasons, neglected to include Southfield, MI, computer programmer Seth Nussbaum. In fact, Nussbaum doesn't even own so much as his own production company. 'Spielberg, Geffen, Ovitz, Eisner, Katzenbergthose are the Jews who control Hollywood,' Nussbaum said. 'And there's countless other Jews calling the shots at every level of the entertainment industry, from agents to producers to directors. But me? I probably couldn't even get the studio backing for a $15 to $20 million romantic comedy with a mid-level star like Matthew Broderick.' And despite being a regular subscriber to The New York Times for seven years, Nussbaum has no powerful connections among the Jews who own that and every other newspaper in the United States. 'As a left-leaning Jew, I should enjoy vast influence over the press. I should be able use the papers and television stations I own to forward my biased, liberal Jewish agenda and get Israel-supporting Democratic candidates elected to Congress,' said Nussbaum, sitting on the old futon he uses as a couch. 'But somehow, that's just not the case.' Spurned by his own kind, Nussbaum has not even been able to gain admittance into a secondary world-domination conspiracy like the Masons. 'They turned down my application,' he said, sighing deeply, 'when they found out I was Jewish. I guess for now I'll just have to resign myself to being Seth Nussbaum, computer programmer and powerless Jew.' 
3	See This Fleet of Drone Billboards Being Developed in Switzerland: Project SkyeBy Nicholas West It is the first category targeted marketing that is currently flourishing to the greatest degree, and becoming the most obvious. I previously reported on a tracking and analysis program that utilizes digital billboards in the emerging field of Neuropolitics. The system has been uncovered in several supposedly democratic countries, and is being employed to capture the reactions of passersby so that campaigns can be properly tweaked to better drive home political messaging. Jake Anderson from Anti-Media subsequently reported about a partnership between Clear Channel Outdoor Americas and a host of tech companies to merge digital billboard surveillance with location-based mobile data to identify shopping patterns and deliver targeted messages to mobile phone users. The program, called Radar, is already in 11 U.S. markets with plans to sweep across the nation within the year. With that as a backdrop, an announcement from Swiss company, AEROTAIN, should not be taken with grain of salt, as tempting as it might be to do so after seeing the video below. AEROTAINs drone-blimp program is called Project Skye, and is comprised of helium-lifted units that the company itself describes as being like an eye in the sky. They add: Thanks to this patented technology, astonishing movements such as a rolling football can be flown. No currently available UAV allows such a degree of freedom. Unique safety features enables it to fly over crowded places and closely approach people. The visibility leads to a friendly appearance and can be used to depict a product for advertising purposes and even take its shape. Scaleable payloads enable Skye to carry heavy cameras for live streams and aerial cinematography. (emphasis added) Until now, there have been some other modest attempts at drone advertising via hanging banners from quadcopters, as seen here, but this new approach from AEROTAIN would seem to have far more appeal, as the units can be kept aloft for much longer, while satisfying regulatory safety requirements. How much longer until these are flying over highways everywhere? Do you think this will be contained only to advertising, or might it be a convenient way to embed multiple uses for two-way data transmission, as nearly every piece of tech that we have today has done? Please leave your thoughts in the comment section below. Top Image: Aerotain.com Hat tip: ZenGardner.com Nicholas West writes for selfnewsPost.com.

2	Rand Paul Absolutely Humiliates Whoopi On The View Leaving Her Speechless Rand Paul made a guest appearance on The View, where he got into some intense discussions with Whoopi on the topic of gun control. Of course, Whoopi came out firing with her opinion to get rid of all automatic weapons. Automatic weapons, theyre not for hunting. They do nothing. Theyre only there to kill. And youll notice that a lot of things that have happened, have happened with automatic weapons, Goldberg said. What we have is not automatic weapons, Paul said. Its semi-automatic. So they fire in a fairly fast sequence, but you cant pull the trigger and they come like a machine gun. Those are no longer out there. But the other problem is, if we take ownership away of specific types of guns, you really have to modify. Something that big has to be either legislation or possibly a Constitutional amendment. 
2	Obama Gets Loud Warning About ISIS Infiltrating America, Refuses To Listen According to recent reports, Republican candidate Ted Cruz is demanding that Obama take action to prevent a terrorist attack in America. We need to consult closely with our NATO allies who may be targeted for additional attacks, Cruz commented, following the attacks on France. The Paris ISIS attacks killed 127 and injured nearly 300. We need to immediately declare a halt to any plans to bring refugees that may have been infiltrated by ISIS to the United States, he continued. We need to redouble our efforts to prevent ISIS agents from penetrating our nation by other means. What do you think? Do you agree with Cruz? 
3	Paradise Stolen - The Myth of Terrorismselfnews Post Part 2 suggested that the innate practicality of small, sustainable communities is a solution to the massive mismanagement by a government dedicated solely to a megacorporate/banker/war economy. Our modern economic system is actually not one built upon efficiency, as it is often believed to be; it is a system of massive inefficiency and predation, which has directly resulted in the bankrupt and war-ravaged world we see around us. Part 3 made the controversial argument that overpopulation is a myth, once again designed to steal our natural rights and turn our lives over to a system of centralized management. Now in part 4, Stefan turns his attention to the increasingly pervasive myth of terrorism. Is the government really being truthful when it claims that it is trying to keep you safe? Is spending $6 trillion actually getting the job done? Can government continue violating the rights of people across the planet and still maintain any claim to a moral high ground? This, and more, compounds the myth of terrorism firmly installed in the American psyche following 9/11 Visit ChinaStrategies.com Get Stefans book The Art of Urban Survival 
3	10 Reasons Why You Need an Offshore Bank AccountNick Giambruno, Senior Editor, International Man The truth is, theres possibly all the difference in the world. Here are the top 10 reasons why you need an offshore bank account. Reason #1: Dilute Your Political Risk Doug Casey has said over and over that the biggest risk you face today is not market or financial riskas big as those risks arebut rather the risk from your own government. Theres no doubt this kind of risk is rising in most parts of the West. Governments are hopelessly sinking deeper into insolvency. Theyre turning to the same desperate measures they always have throughout history, and its a big threat to your savings. Its only prudent to expect more bail-ins (as weve seen in Cyprus), bank deposit taxes (as weve seen in Spain), retirement savings nationalizations (as weve seen in Poland, Hungary, Portugal, and Argentina), and capital controls (as weve seen in Cyprus and Iceland), among other destructive actions. And these are just a few recent examples. If you think these kinds of things cant happen in your country, think again. According to Judge Andrew Napolitano: People who have more than $100,000 in the bank are targets for any government thats looking for money to shore up its own inability to manage its finances. A big part of any strategy to reduce your political risk is to place some of your savings outside the immediate reach of the thieving bureaucrats in your home country. Obtaining an offshore bank account is a convenient way to do just that. That way your savings cannot be easily confiscated, frozen, or devalued at the drop of a hat or with a couple of taps on the keyboard. In the event capital controls are imposed, an offshore bank account will help ensure that you have access to your money when you need it the most. In short, your savings in an offshore bank will largely be safe from any madness in your home country. Reason #2: Sounder Banking Systems and Banks Almost all of the banking systems in Western countries are fundamentally unsoundleveraged to the hilt and backed by the promises of insolvent governments. Worse, most of these banks only keep a tiny fraction of cash on hand to meet customer withdrawal requests. This means that in the event of a financial shock like another Lehman-style event, you could have trouble accessing your money. If you look to bank in a jurisdiction with low debt and a history of a stability, you can find banks that dont gamble with customer deposits (i.e., your money), are much better capitalized, keep more cash on hand, and are otherwise much more conservatively run than those in the US. Offshore banks are almost always more responsible custodians of your hard earned-savings. Reason #3: Asset Protection Maybe you think its just other people who live on the lawsuit firing line and you live somewhere else. Think again. The Legal Resource Network reports that 15 million lawsuits are filed in the US every year. That works out to a new lawsuit for one out of every 12 adults each year year after year. Unless youre exceptionally lucky, sooner or later your turn will come. Youre not going to like it. Its no fluke that 80% of the worlds lawyersover 1.2 million of themwork in the US. Thats where the action is. Your money is the trophy theyre competing for. While there is no such thing as 100% protection, an offshore bank account can help make you a hard target. An offshore bank account also protects you from being paralyzed by a lightning seizure by any government agency armed with a summary power to freeze your assets, since such summary powers cant reach beyond the US. If you ever find yourself in a wrestling match with a government agency or with a frivolous lawsuit, youll have resources you can count on. Reason #4: Currency Diversification Holding foreign currencies is a great way to diversify the risk in your portfolio, protect your purchasing power, and internationalize some of your savings. Chances are though, that your domestic bank offers fewif anyoptions to hold foreign currencies. Offshore banks, on the other hand, commonly offer convenient online platforms for you to hold foreign currencies. Reason #5: Higher Interest Rates for Your Deposits In what amounts to a war on savers, the European Central Bank and the Fed have manipulated interest rates to near historical lows. These artificially low interest rates amount to a wealth transfer from saverswho would otherwise enjoy higher returns on their depositsto borrowers. In fact, if you live in the West, theres a good chance that the interest youre earning on your savings isnt even keeping pace with the real rate of inflation. If you look abroad, though, you can find banks that pay interest rates significantly higher than what youd find at home. Reason #6: Ensure Access to Medical Care Abroad In the case youre denied or delayed treatment in your home countryan increasing possibility with the disastrous Obamacareyou may want to seek medical care abroad. In a dramatic scenario, this could be the difference between life and death. Suppose that for whatever reason, you cannot get the medical care you need in your home country and have to go abroad. That means youll have to transfer money abroad to pay for it. But if capital controls are imposed, it could be difficult or impossible to transfer funds abroad to pay for the medical care you need. This is where having an offshore bank accountwhich isnt held hostage to capital controls in your home countrycan help ensure that you always have access to medical care abroad. Reason #7: The Ability to Act Quickly When it comes to international diversification, its always better to be a year early than a minute too late. Once a government has imposed capital controls or levied bank accounts, it will be too late to take protective action. If you dont already have one, you should open an offshore bank account noweven if its a small one. Just having one availableregardless of how much money you initially put in itgives you meaningful benefits. Namely the option to act quickly and transfer more money abroad in the future, should the situation warrant it. Reason #8: Maintain Limited Privacy Americans who have an aggregate of $10,000 or more in foreign financial accounts at any time during the year must file an FBAR (FinCEN Form 114). However, if the aggregate total of your foreign financial accounts remains under $10,000 for the year, and they are not held in a trust, LLC, or other structure, you can legally maintain your privacy. Reason #9: Peace of Mind An offshore bank account is like an insurance policy. It helps protect you from unsound banks and banking systems and the destructive actions of a bankrupt government. It also makes you a hard target for frivolous lawsuits and allows you to pay for medical care abroad. Knowing that you have taken a strong measure to protect yourself from these things should give you a degree of mental comfort. Reason #10: Maximize Your Personal Freedom Having an offshore bank account gives you more options. More options means more freedom. Achieve that freedom, and it becomes very difficult for any government to control your destiny. Conclusion Its no secret that it is becoming harder and harder to open an offshore bank account. Soon it could be impossible. This is a strong incentive to act sooner rather than later to get oneeven if you dont plan to use it immediately. Even if your home government doesnt slap on capital controls or confiscate deposits, youre no worse off for having moved your savings to a safer home. In fact, youre far better off for the reasons described above. Obtaining an offshore bank account is a prudent step that makes sense no matter what. Despite what you may hear, offshore banking is completely legal and is not about tax evasion or other illegal activities. Its simply about legally diversifying your political risk by putting your liquid savings in sound, well-capitalized institutions where theyre treated best. Companion Article: Now that you know the reasons why you need to open an offshore bank account, the next question is how. It can be a daunting task but it neednt be. There are experts who know the ins and outs, from the best countries to set up your account to what to say and how much money to have readyand you can get all that information and much more in Going Global 2015. Its the ultimate primer in going international and will save you not only cash, but a lot of hassle. Check it out and get started today while its still possible. Heres 1 GREAT reason to not put money in any bank, ANYWHERE. Reason # 1 , If its not in your pocket then its in somebody elses. Why would any sane person keep money in a bank where you dont have access to if they close for all and any reason , cyber attack , bank failure whatever. You make ZERO intrest and take all the risk as a deposit is a non collateral loan to the bank. The FDIC stickers have been removed off the front doors of ALL banks , you get nothing. Take everything out now and leave enough to pay bills so when the bail ins come you dont have to be bailed out. Offshore accounts , think how much harder it will be to get your money from another country when dollar hits the fan. Is the person who wrote this article even aware of FATCA, (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) ? I dont see it mentioned one time. Because of this your money is not any safer overseas than it is here in the states. Offshore? Agreed! Didnt the numbered accounts in Switzerland have to pay a fine of $1.8 Billion USD because the IRS, and Fatca required the Swiss to snitch on the owners of those accounts? The reason that there is no mention of WHERE to put your money offshore in this article is because the writer of this article is advertising the book that contains all of this vital information. The government can now legally (and will) take your money to pay off government debts. Here is my solution: take your savings and buy real estate. Not in areas (like California, which have already devolved into new bubbles) but in places where prices are so low that they cant go much lower. I have recently, with my meager savings, bought 2 properties near Sedona (average list price: 900,00K): one is a 1600 Sq ft 1980 milled log house which backs to an abandoned golf course on land that is deep and fertile, supporting huge trees (up to 7ft diameters) as an oasis in the rocky desert. I am renting it out, at a very low price, to a large family and getting a 12% return. The other property is near by, an older mobile home on a very nice lot with huge trees and shade, a big carport and shed and good privacy. The mobile home is in excellent condition, ready to rent. I am buying for 32K cash and will rent it out cheap for under $500 a month, with only $125 a yr in taxes. If I can save some more I am thinking of buying a house in Costa Rica for 30-40K, with very low taxes and in a nation without a military where the police (except in San Jose) do not even carry arms. I have already lost a ton on medical marijuana stocks (down 2/3 in the last year) and have no desire to invest in the market or in the California bubble economy (which I cannot afford anyway). I may sell my Santa Cruz Mt home which I built myself if the bubble continues in the near future and re-invest in an area which where real estate is still depressed. There may be better solutions but that is my attempt to create a retirement income out of my small savings. In 2007-9, I lost 300K in inflated equity the result of 45 years of sweat equity. Buy low, sell high. Money can be wiped out overnight (I learned quickly), but livable land and homes have a lasting value. I welcome constructive disagreement. Hi Neighbor: Jeff from SJO here! I went to Costa Rica x1, and I like your idea of a home the same price as a new car here! I found it wonderful there! Thailand would also work for me! I agree with much of what you have said, and I am in a similar dissatisfied funk here in SJO. I would not, for me, go into debt, everperiod. I also know Sedona, and again, I would liquify any debt. You should work on your health, travel, relax, plan ahead. If you do not hold it in your hand, it is not yours. Though your income property sounds productive, I might encourage you to agin, liquidate, and pay cash for a place in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. You also said money can be wiped out overnight. I would still liquidate, pay cash for your own mobile home, a comfortable place in Costa Rica and wear a proverbial grin on my face, every time I met the legal ladies of Costa Rica!!! Go have fun, its time Sir! Im an RN, and those guys who postpone their desires have heart attacks and strokes when they are packing for their Dream Trip that then NEVER happens! Good Luck: You have enviable choices! obama care prevents insurances from denying care. So reason #6 is bullshit. The game as played, dont be afraid, its just castles burning Just a few moments away from cashless, Cabalian cards then do their trick, you want to purchase groceries, sorry sir, it seems we have a problem, the card issuer has blocked your account. Do you perhaps have another unblocked card; I notice that the code on your declined transaction is 666 dont release goods, call security. Hmmmm buy property overseas. no need for fbar. no way uncle sam can take as it has no jurisdiction there. nobody needs even to know it. 
3	Zuckerberg: Well All Be Plugged into the Matrix in 50 Years FacebookBy Melissa Dykes OH GOODY. (Not.) Via The Sun: Zuck has hinted that social networks of the future will be powered by telepathy, allowing ordinary people to beam their brainwaves and emotions directly onto the internet I think youre going to be able to capture a thought [and take] what youre thinking or feeling, in its kind of ideal and perfect form in your head and share that with the world, he said whilst discussing predictions of the future with the Washington Post. He went on to discuss research decoding MRIs to know what people are thinking, and the removal and transplantation of memory: Zuck said government researchers had already worked out how to remove the memory of solving a maze from one rats head and then implant it in another rodents noggin. Then that mouse, without ever having been through the maze, was able to go do it. Thats just straight out of the Matrix, right? Yes. Yes it is. Zuckerberg has been on this kick for a while now(via WAPO): That, however, was just an offhand comment his Facebook Live remarks are far more telling. Telling in the sense that, where I see a dim corporatocratic hellscape, Zuckerberg sees a frolicking utopia of puppies and sunshine and sharing.[emphasis added] Sharing uh huh. Is that what hes calling it? You see where all this isheaded, dont you? The writing is all over the Facebook wall (bad pun, sorry). Mark Zuckerberg is saying that Facebook is The Matrix. Theelitealways try to make this sound so trendy and futuristic and fun, but come on. Weve all seen The Matrix.And if Spybook is reading your thoughts, so is the government. The elite at Davos know that most people will be all about it though. This year, a panel discussed all the same topics Mark referenced above. As the Davos panelpointed out in ameeting on peoples minds telling on them, the majority of peoplehave already affirmed that they are more than willing to give up their privacy for convenience: 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! I guess it wouldnt be so bad if the transhumanists have their way as long as they have their own planet somewhere far away from here and theyre quarantined so they cant leave or cause damage to anyone else. Well, not really. It sounds like psychopathy plain and simple to me. Why would anyone want to be in someone elses matrix??? Zuckerberg psychopathy, revolving around control and profits. He reflects his religious organization almost perfectly. Zuck, you can go scroo yourself. #1, a lot of people are already part of the matrix believing everything they see and hear on the MSM. #2, I never have been and never will be a member of FB. Zuckerberg: Well All Be Plugged into the Matrix in 50 Years Facebook Lets step out of this contrived Bizarro world so loved by Idiot Culture for the sole purpose of answering the college thiefs statement; In fifty years the chosen will have slaughtered all Goim not willing to accept their Talmudic Noahide Law with such auspicious groveling as the Judas Class did in the early 90s. The swine went so far as to intimate our constitution was BASED upon same! Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha silly sausage, he has no idea does he? If this is allowed to happen then humans will be no more than soulless robots does he not understand that this technology is being used for evil. Humanity in their true form with their 12 strands of DNA are super human super aware and can know everything no need to labour years for a PHd he should be with his financial power looking in these areas but he is no more than one of the gang finding ways to use this alien technology to further entrap humanity. Can you imagine if humanity had the real power of beam ship power the vile murdering armed forces would find ways to turn it into a weapon of death. Earth has only a few short years left before this evil system is removed and it will not be allowed to continue. Another zioinsts wet dream just say NO. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Looks like my humble disqus account is reaching far up. miraculous Read my comment history and see for yourself Happenstance billionaires like Zuck think this sort of thing is just fine and dandy. The happenstance part is up for debate. There are numerous sources that claim hes the grandson of David Rockefeller and his little Spybook enterprise was funded by the CIA. I went looking for proof of this, found tons of sources quoting each other, so who knows if its truth? Im sure google wont cough it up. interesting. 
3	Teacher outrage stalls Bill Gates Common Core pushAaron Dykes Opposition to Common Core has gained such momentum on all sides of the debate, and for various reasons, that major outlets are now telling Bill Gates to butt out of education, and instead go home with his billions. Salons Michael Mazenko wrote that Bill Gates needs to drop his Common Core obsession because he is catching hell on all sides. What was a year ago only flak has now festered and erupted to the point that the Gates Foundation is being forced to backpedal and concede to opposition: In a surprising act of damage control, the pro-Core Gates Foundation took to the pages of the New York Timeswith an open letter calling for a two-year delay in the use of Common Core-linked tests as measures for teacher and student accountability. Gates Foundation director Vickie Philips conceded frustrations with Common Core, writing, No evaluation system will work unless teachers believe it is fair and reliable. The standards need time to work. Teachers need time to develop lessons, receive more training, get used to the new tests and offer their feedback. That Bill Gates is being forced to back off from Common Core at all, to any degree is incredible, given how quickly he and his money were able to force acceptance of these standards in 45 of the 50 states, even despite his abysmally deep pockets and the emphasis on technology as the savior of society in all sectors. Of course, the battle isnt over, on either side. Just a little over a week ago, some 150 teachers marched on Seattle, Washington home to Bill Gates under the name Badass Teachers Association to protest Common Core and in particular the role of the Gates Foundation in forcing it upon the entire country at the expense of actual learning. Gates issued a generic but rosy statement assuring educators of his respect for teachers. But that will hardly stop the backlash from parents, students and perhaps especially teachers. Back in March, the American Federation of Teachers a union with some one million members cut off millions of dollars of funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and terminated their relationship as a result of its members fiery disapproval of Common Core standards and deep distrust of the [Gates] foundations approach to education reform. Meanwhile, Gov. Bobby Jindal used an executive order to pull Louisiana out of Common Core and the related PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) standards, citing outrage from parents and frustration from teachers and administrators. Prior to that, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Indiana had already exited from Common Core. According to the Daily Signal, A total of 17 states have pushed back against Common Coreincluding Alaska, Nebraska, Texas, and Virginia, which declined to sign on from the beginning. In Missouri, a bill to exit Common Core currently sits on the governors desk for approval. The Huffington Post mockingly recommended that Bill Gates replace the inept Arne Duncan as Secretary of Education (to make transparent the gravity of the billionaires influence over education policy as it continues to crumble). John Thompson wrote: From a completely different corner than Salon and the Huffington Post, radio host Glenn Beck has launched a mini-movement, asking his audience to join him in a summer offensive against Common Core to declare We Will Not Conform. Beck has made Common Core a frequent target for its attempt to amalgamate a federal rather than local approach to education, while undermining the rights of parents in determining what is best for their childs education. Glenn Beck told Fox News host Bill OReilly: Corporatizing Education with a Uniform, Top-down Tech Approach There are numerous, perhaps never-ending reasons why parents and students, teachers and administrations, state and national political figures, and plenty of other Americans all want Common Core stopped. PJ Media rounded up ten of the worst examples of the insultingly backwards assignments given to students read them here. Karen Lamoreaux, member of Arkansas Against Common Core and mother of three, explained how one Common Core math problem circumvented all common sense in requiring students to show 108 steps to solve a basic math problem. Another parent said about a dizzying Common Core problem, I went to elementary school in Poland during communism. This is exactly what I was forced to learn. On top of concerns about piss-poor standards and a missing-the-forest-for-the-trees emphasis on testing, and a worrying shift from non-local control to a top-down molding of standards across nearly all the states is the fact that the corporatist overtones by, for and of the corporate interest of the Gates-crafted Common Core education plan can hardly be missed. Behind this inane and ultimately stupid hijacking of American education is one, very rich, individual figure Bill Gates who is, as many have pointed out, a veritable college drop-out with no expertise or qualifications in education, but instead deep pockets and a honed agenda that is intent on shaping the educational process to produce future citizens that will be subservient cogs in the ever-more-mechanized wheel. Not only have these new educational guidelines not come from the local and state level, but they were ultimately written by only a handful of (Gates-funded) people. Whose interests could that possibly serve? No teacher and no school board member was asked to contribute to the Common Core standards. Nor was any State Legislature involved in the creation of this monstrosity. journalist Dave Hodges wrote. Anyone see a conflict of interest with, ahem, practically everything? Gates has major stakes in the corporate agenda, the tech field and the larger political debates surrounding a grab bag of issues: everything from birth control and the over-population debate to vaccines, climate change/global warming, genetically modified foods and Gates/Rockefeller-driven global agriculture and development, health care reform (kill granny; hire 10 teachers, anyone?) and the larger role of self-appointed experts and billionaires in dictating behavior for everyone living under the collectivist technocracy. In his own words, Gates vision for Common Core is , in part, to unify a captive market in education for computer-based learning tools i.e., yes, selling stuff to schools who would be required to purchase it as curriculum and teaching aids, et al. At the National Conference of State Legislatures, Gates said: Talk about people as a product. Again, there are many who object to this vision of education, or apparent attempt to direct education tax dollars into corporate coffers. We want to get corporations out of teaching, Tom OKelley, an English teacher at Tacomas Oakland High School, told Geek Wire. They are trying to turn public schools into a corporate money maker and push out the voice of teachers like we have no idea what were doing in education. Bill Gates certainly doesnt. Hes a college dropout. Hes a corporate money maker thats all he does. In Louisiana, St. Martin Parish Superintendent and BESE member Lottie Beebe was quoted on her opposition to Common Core: Common Dreams reported The Gates Foundation has used its immense wealth to circumvent the democratic process to create the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) with very little input from educators. They in turn quoted : Beyond lies that Common Core has been state-led or voluntary is the larger issue that the system being imposed will surely create dullards, group thinkers and obedient corporate drones not self-sufficient, thinking and intelligent children ready to become leaders, innovators or even thoughtful workers. At least the teachers, students and parents have been voicing their opposition and the operating system has been forced to acknowledge it though surely, the operating system has no intention of relinquishing control.

2	Republican TV Celebrity Takes Massive Financial Blow After Publicly Supporting Trump Rick Harrison is a die hard Republican. He couldnt help but publicly announce his support for Donald Trump. Rick Harrison is the star of the TV show, Pawn Stars. He was ready to give up much of his fan base that disagreed with him. I suddenly became famous and I was the one willing to throw my career away to endorse a Republican, said Harrison. A large part of his audience is liberals. He couldnt care less if those liberal scum dont want to watch his show. He also gave his thoughts on Hillary. I cant really think of anything she actually did, he said. You have the Ukraine situation, which I could go on and on about. You have the Middle East Falling apart. I think she was a very bad negotiator. If Hillary becomes president, our country is in big trouble. Even worse than what Obama has done in his terms. Do you think Hillary would make the worst president ever? 
2	The State Of Florida Just Took A MASSIVE Stand For The Confederate Flag Following the shootings in Charleston, liberals have been on a mission to eliminate the Confederate flag from existence, painting it as a symbol of hatred and racism. Just last week, Marion County in Florida voted to remove the flag from their display. The move proved to be very unpopular among community members, who see the flag for what it really is: a symbol of Southern heritage. On Tuesday, board members decided to reconvene to discuss the matter once more. In a unanimous decision, the board voted to reinstate the flag. We are all exposed to messages and symbols that may not connect for us, State Rep. Dennis Baxley commented. But we should all honor our ancestors and protect free expression. I dont see racism in the symbol of the Confederate flag, Debbie Rotstein, a community member, added. I see it was a part of the Civil War, and it was part of our history. What do you think? Do you support reinstating the Confederate flag? 
1	ASHLAND, WIAfter earning $5 for mowing his family's half-acre lawn, 13-year-old Andrew Mink learned the negligible value of a dollar at the town's sporting-goods store Sunday. 'Pops dropped me off at Dunham's before baseball practice so I could buy something with my hard-earned money,' Mink said. 'I kinda wanted a baseball glove, but that was almost $40. A new bat was, like, $65. Even a batting glove was more than $10.' The teen finally found a wristband for $3.99, but he was unable to afford sales tax on the item after reserving one dollar for his bus fare home. 
2	BREAKING: Maine Bans Freeloaders From Using Food Stamps According to recent reports, the state of Maine is now requiring able-bodied adults who have the ability to work to continue to do so in order to qualify for food stops. While the state has not banned programs altogether, authorities believe the policy will stop freeloaders from abusing the system. President Obama issues a waiver of the federal work requirement in 2010, citing the recession as his justification. And although democrats now claim the economy is humming along the ban has not been lifted. Thats why Republican Governor Paul LePage decided to allow the waiver for his state to expire. As a result, able-bodied adults who are between the ages of 18 and 50 and are without children must work or volunteer for 20 hours each week. If they fail to do so, their benefits will be limited to three months within a three-year period. Peopple who are in need deserve a hand up, but we should not be giving able-bodied individuals a handout. We must continue to do all that we can to eliminate generational poverty and get people back to work, LePage claimed in a statement. There is no excuse for able-bodied adults to spend a lifetime on welfare at the expense of hard-working, struggling Mainers. That is not what I call compassion. So far, only 12,000 people out of the 1.3 million living in Maine are affected by the ban. In fact, the majority of the population supported the decision. What do you think? Do you support the requirement? 
2	Look Closely At This Soldier, What He Did Explains Why We Can Not Have Hillary As Our Next President If you see Hillary Clinton cozying up with our men and women in uniform, take it worth a grain of salt. This photo of Clinton with a soldier speaks volumes about what he really thinks of her. If you look closely, you can see that he is crossing his fingers in a universal sign for coercion. According to reports, the soldier flashed the sign while he was serving in Iraq in 2003. His left hand forms the coercion symbol that is taught in survival school and used as a method of sending messages back and forth. The guy was obviously being forced to take a picture with the former Secretary of State. The picture of me and Hillary Clinton was taken when she came to visit Iraq, the soldier confirmed. I was actually ordered to shake her hand, and I never figured that my friends would circulate it all over the net. I AM NOT a Hillary fan by any stretch. What do you think? Do you support our men and women in uniform? Are you sick of the Obama administration pretending to support them?

Nobel Peace Prize recipients include notorious war criminals. In 1906, Theodore Roosevelt was honored. He once said I should welcome almost any war, for I think this country needs one. In 1919, Woodrow Wilson won. He broke his pledge to keep us out of war. In 1953, George Marshall was honored. He helped create NATO. Its a killing machine. He was involved in aggressive war on North Korea. Other dishonorees included Kofi Annan, Al Gore, Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres, Henry Kissinger, Barack Obama, and the EU. Peacemakers arent considered. Dishonorees include a virtual rogues gallery of recipients. They include GW and GHW Bush, Dick Cheney, Leon Panetta, Colin Powell, David Petraeus, Margaret Thatcher, Boris Yeltsin, Newt Gingrich, Bill and Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Silvio Berlusconi, Michael Bloomberg, and Yitzhak Rabin among others. Its centered on the Intrepid aircraft carrier (CVS-11). During WW II, it began operating. Today its an educational center and a monument to all who have served our nation in uniform. Few understood their involvement in imperial wars. Annual Intrepid Freedom Award recipients bear much responsibility. Honoring them shames America. Rule of law principles and other democratic values are dishonored. Kissingers one of Americas worst. On May 27, hell be 90 years old. He was an early architect of new world order harshness. Hes a notorious war criminal. His legacy includes three to four million Southeast Asian war deaths. He was instrumental in overthrowing Chiles democratic government. Augusto Pinochet replaced Salvador Allende. A reign of terror followed. It included arrests, killings and torture. So did privatization of state enterprises, mass layoffs, sweeping deregulation, deep social spending cuts, wage freezes or cuts, unrestricted free market access for western corporations, corporate-friendly tax cuts, trade unionist crackdowns, and harsh repression against opposing a system incompatible with social democracy, civil and human rights. Kissinger backed Suhartos brutal dictatorship. His Kopassus special forces terrorized Indonesians. Their record includes kidnappings, rape, torture, targeted killings, sweeping violence, mass murder, and other atrocities against anyone challenging his authority. He supported his West Papua takeover. He OKd his East Timor invasion. Over two hundred thousand East Timorese died. Around half a million more were displaced. In his memoirs, former American UN ambassador Daniel Partick Moynihan wrote: The United States wished things to turn out as they did, and worked to bring this about. The Department of State desired that the United Nations prove utterly ineffective in whatever measures it undertook. This task was given to me, and I carried it forward with no inconsiderable success. In two months, 10% of the population was annihilated. It was prelude for what followed. Kissinger supported the Khmer Rouges rise to power and reign of terror. He encouraged a Kurdish revolt against Saddam Hussein. He then abandoned them. He advised Bush and Cheney on Iraq policy. He backed a 1974 Cypriot fascist coup. He defended Turkeys brutal invasion. He wanted a Washington, DC-based journalist kidnapped and killed. He was complicit in Operation Condor. Pinochet and other Latin American despots reigned terror against alleged communists and political opponents. Tens of thousands perished. He backed Pakistans delicacy and tact in overthrowing Bangladeshs democratically elected government. Half a million deaths followed. In 1974, his secret National Security Study Memorandum 200 (NSSM 200) called for drastic global depopulation. Developing nations are resource rich, he said. Theyre vital to US growth. He wanted useless eaters eliminated. He said Depopulation should be the highest priority of US foreign policy towards the Third World. He supported involuntary mass sterilizations. He wanted birth control made a prerequisite for US aid. He wanted hundreds of millions eliminated by 2000. He supported the worst of Israeli crimes. Earlier, American Jewish Committee executive director David Harris said: Perhaps Kissinger felt that, as a Jew, he had to go the extra mile to prove to the president that there was no question where his loyalty lay. Mortimor Zukerman, Kenneth Bialkin and James Tisch once wrote: Mr. Kissinger consistently played a constructive role vis-a-vis Israel both as national security adviser and secretary of state, especially when the United States extended dramatic assistance to Israel during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. During the first Intifada, he advised Israel to challenge it harshly. He recommended banishing the media and suppressing what went on. He backed other deplorable schemes. He was mindless of the human toll. He wanted America to benefit at any cost. He waged war on humanity. He still advises on ways to do it. He deplores peace. He supports war and state terror. Afghanistan wasnt enough, he said. He endorsed waging war on Islam. His legacy includes involvement in decades of crimes of war, against humanity and genocide. As National Security Advisor and Secretary of State, he served Nixon and Ford from January 1969 January 1977. He advised administrations that followed. In 1982, he founded Kissinger Associates, Inc. He heads it. Its a New York-based international consulting firm. Former CIA deputy director for intelligence Judith (Jami) Miscik is president. Other noted former US government officials served earlier. They did so in managerial capacities. At least most were complicit in war crimes. Kissingers worst of all. He symbolizes imperial lawlessness. He waged war on humanity in and out of government. Hes still doing it. On May 27, hell again be honored. He deserves prison instead.

3	Suggestions to HHS Regarding VaccinationsCatherine J. Frompovich U.S. Health Human Services Ref: Federal Register Doc. 2015-02481 NAIP Comment due date 3-9-15 Dear Senior Policy Adviser Rebecca Fish: As requested in the Federal Register of 2-5-15, please accept the following additional comments regarding mandatory adult vaccinations in the USA, the NAIP. Probably one of the most egregious and scientifically, non-credible problems revolving around vaccines, vaccinationseither pro or con mandatory vaccination programsis the fact that much of the blame is projected upon the unvaccinated population with no science-based proof. Heres what needs to be put in place if HHS/CDC/FDA want to be considered scientific and credible about vaccines, their safety and effectiveness, and transparency of public service announcements, in my candid opinion: 1. An independent retrospective study of the health status of vaccinated versus unvaccinated children and adults must be performed to document the effectiveness of so called vaccine herd immunity and the overall health status, e.g., allergies, chronic diseases, cancer, etc. in both vaccinated and unvaccinated cohorts. There are numerous cohorts of unvaccinated children and adults in the USA. Such a study, however, must not be paid for, nor controlled/supervised, or have any input from pharmaceutical or vaccine makers. The study should be done by certified, independent labs and/or researchers under direct contract with HHS/CDC/FDA, I contend. 2. RT-PCR testing for contracted communicable infectious diseases by vaccinees to ascertain if the strain contracted is/was the same as that in the vaccine. If it wasnt, then identify it for inclusion in CDC/FDA databases. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction testing is a scientific and valid documentation that also can ascertain whether vaccinees may be shedding viruses to others, including vaccinated and unvaccinated children and adults. RT-PCR testing, especially whats known as Real-time RT-PCR, is based in science rather than ad hominem remarks bandied around by federal, state, and local health agencies. Since recent outbreaks of pertussis and measles have been occurring for years in fully-vaccinated individuals around the USA, with up to 90 to 95 percent of those contracting such diseases after having received their required vaccines, it is legally and morally incumbent upon HHS/CDC/FDA to find out whats actually going on rather than pejoratively blaming it on the unvaccinated, which is a far stretch from being scientific. Wheres the scientific proof? Can it be provided by RT-PCR? However, ones hanging a negative scientific hat spin on the causation and correlation theoretical regarding vaccines, adverse events, etc., certainly does not hold water since safe tobacco science has proven much differently. Tobacco smoking does cause cancer, heart disease, COPD, peripheral vascular disease, and damages reproductive health and neonates. May I remind everyone at HHS/CDC/FDA just how many medical doctors recommended Camels cigarettes apparently for years? How wrong doctors were then, and why did HHS/CDC/FDA not stop physicians from promoting a health hazard product before tobacco products took off like greased lightning? Big-Pharma pseudoscience isand has beendoing the same about vaccines, I allege. Additionally, Congress wittingly gave subsidies to tobacco farmers for years! How dumb was that? How unscientifically-based was that? Lobbyists probably were involved, no doubt, just like Big Pharmas lobbyists are today about vaccine information. The [pharmaceutical] industry has 1,274 registered lobbyists in Washington D.C. [3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmaceutical_lobby I respectfully claim similar blunders have been going on with, from and about vaccines and their corporate vested interests, which harm healthcare consumers not only in the USA but globally, especially since 1986. 3. May I suggest that whenever anyone: infant, toddler, teen, adult or senior citizen, contracts any health problem that their vaccination status with corresponding dates be mandated to be reported and recorded as part of the statistical data presented for scientific and media recordkeeping and databases. That, I think, could be very helpful in tracking infectious diseases, identifying strains, and placing blame properly. Thank you very much for reading my comments, which I truly appreciate.

3	Instead of Watching them Decay, LA is Turning Rundown Motels into Housing for Homeless VeteransBy Jay Syrmopoulos City officials consider the development a major accomplishment in the drive to create large-scale housing for the estimated 2,700 homeless veterans in Los Angeles County. The plan calls for developers to purchase crime ridden, often run down motels from private owners in an effort to convert them into efficiency apartments, according to the Los Angeles Times. Its estimated that nationally between 529,000 and 840,000 veterans are homeless at some time during the year, and that on any given night, more than 300,000 veterans are living on the streets or in shelters in the U.S. According to the report in the LA Times: The citys housing authority will issue vouchers funded by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, which will cover residents rent and provide supportive services, including case management and counseling. Further financing is expected to come from the states Proposition 41, which directed $600 million in bond money to fund housing for poor and homeless veterans. The citys housing authority on Thursday awarded 400 rent vouchers to Shangri-La Construction, a unit of Shangri-La Industries, founded by Hollywood producer Steve Bing, and Step Up on Second, a nonprofit homeless housing agency. The team has 60 days to secure sites. Instead of allowing blighted properties to decay, lets use them to make powerful change in our communities by giving our veterans the access to services and housing that they need and deserve, Mayor Eric Garcetti said in a written statement. The organization Volunteers of America, a nonprofit affordable housing group, has plans to develop 100 apartments at a motel near its existing project in North Hollywood. Nobody else is doing this around the country, said Philip Mangano, the federal homelessness czar under President George W. Bush, who called the project a national model and said it revealed the effectiveness of partnering private capital with existing social service agencies to produce large-scale permanent homeless housing. There are business people involved (in homeless housing) but not to this scale, said Mangano What I like about the project is its immediate, Volunteers of America President Bob Pratt told the LA Times. Making these homes available for vets right now, that makes it unique. Jay Syrmpoulos writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. cool.take a bunch of black mold, paint it over and move in the vets. Im a Vietnam-era veteran and have been homeless. No thanks. Just let me get a quick shower with a bathroom, and Im outta there within 30 minutes. Well, my first comment got moderated several hours ago so Ill try again. This plan to renovate decaying buildings is no solution to the problems encountered by homeless vets. First, a few hundred rooms with beds when there are thousands who need them is a band aid solution, at best. Second, the VA has a piece of property in West LA that was bequeathed to veterans in perpetuity decades ago. Originally, the property was 600 acres, but various encroachments by the wealthy surrounding communities have reduced the property to less than 400 acres. The property includes buildings the site functioned as a VA hospital for a while which could be renovated for immediate use, and there is lots of room for more buildings. Trouble is, the wealthy communities surrounding the property dont want veterans using the property owned by veterans. Those communities, Bel-Air, Brentwood, and Westwood/UCLA, are using the VA property for a school playground, a dog park, a baseball diamond, and storing the unsold inventory of a car dealership, among other things. Theres a lot more to this story. Robert Rosebrock, a veteran, has been writing about on-going corruption and malfeasance at the West LA VA property for years. Some of his articles can be found in local LA papers, and some of them can be read at Veterans Today website. Search on Robert Rosebrock to learn more. I reckon the vets should lock and load and show a few people what war looks like? It seems fighting for your country now is nothing special or to be respected?

2	Kurt Russell Defends His AntiKurt Russell Received incredible support in his public announcement in support of the Second Amendment, just weeks ago. He argued that the idea of gun control preventing terrorism is absolutely ridiculous. Now he has made an appearance on The View in order to defend his position against gun control. He references the Civil War, and Americas right to be able to fight back against the government if necessary. This is important as ever with leaders such as Obama in place. Kurt wishes that the debate on gun control could be more civil, and that really the solution is clear to him. The ladies of The View were relatively receptive of his points (I mean really, who doesnt like Kurt Russell?), but you can tell they were holding back the urge to spill their liberal ideas. We love seeing public support of the Second Amendment. Do you agree with Kurt Russell that Americans right to bear arms is one that is necessary? 
2	THIS Country Just Banned Muslims From Building New Mosques According to recent reports, following the attacks in France, the Northern Italian region of Lombardy have made the controversial decision to ban any more mosques from being built. Theyve also implemented practices for monitoring the mosques already in existence. The law is designed to limit the construction of places of worship that do not have agreements in place with the Italian government. Right now, Islam is the only major religion that is not recognized in Italy. It also required that mosques in existence install closed circuit television cameras, so that law enforcement can monitor conversations as necessary. Keep in mind, Islam is the second largest religion in the country. The first is Catholicism. The presence of Muslims in Lombardy is not indispensable. I saw to anyone who doesnt like this law: go home, said Northern League politician Roberto Annelli. Of course, while some view the law as a defensive move toward protecting the country, liberals are taking a stand against the action, calling it blatant anti-Islamic racism. What do you think of the new law in place? 
3	Will NATOs Operation Atlantic Resolve Be The Trigger For WW3 With Russia?By Brandon Turbeville Over the course of the crisis in Ukraine, the U.S. has repeatedly moved troops into threatening positions close to the Russian border. Now, however, one of the biggest pushes yet has materialized in Eastern Europe, right on Russias doorstep in Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Hungary, and Bulgaria. Dubbed, Operation Atlantic Resolve, the massive NATO troop deployment is an obvious act of troop placement in order to prepare for an actual ground assault on Russia itself. At best, it is an incredibly foolish act of bullying and intimidation. At worst, it is preparation for a nuclear holocaust. As the International Business Times summarizes US tanks and armoured vehicles along with over 3,000 US soldiers begin arriving in Poland on Thursday, (12 January). The deployment, which falls under Operation Atlantic Resolve, is the largest exercise of US troops in Europe in decades. Hundreds of armoured vehicles and over 80 main battle tanks have already arrived in Germany and are reportedly being moved by road and rail to Eastern Europe. The US Armoured Brigade will also reportedly conduct military exercises in the Baltics. The exercise is a part of President Barack Obamas plan to ease tensions among Nato allies who are concerned about Russian aggression. According to reports, the forces will rotate every nine months. Tanks and other materials will eventually be stationed in Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Romania and Hungary. The Duran also describes the massive troop deployments in the following way: Self-propelled Howitzers and hundreds of other armored fighting vehicles were landing on the shores of northern Germany. To those who had at least one eye on the news, it was like watching the US invasion at Normandy all over again. Over the last few days, some 2,800 pieces of military hardware and 4,000 troops have arrived at the port in Bremerhaven. The delivery of US Abrams tanks, Paladin artillery, and Bradley fighting vehicles marks a new phase of Americas continuous presence in Europe, which will now be based on a nine-month rotation. . . . . . Operation Atlantic Resolve as it is being called is the newest phase in adding and keeping a US armored brigade on the European NATO front and will operate on a nine-month rotational basis. With its headquarters based in Germany, the brigade will first enter Poland and then disperse throughout seven countries from Estonia to Bulgaria; a military front much closer to the Kremlin in Moscow than was setup during the Cold War with the former USSR. Since the announcement, Putin has had no choice but to counter the military move along Russias borders. . . . . . Great Britain will also be joining the military surge sending fighter jets to the Black Sea and a battalion of troops, tanks and light armor to Estonia later in the spring. Those troops with be supported by French and Danish troops while Germany will be bolstering troops and sending tanks into Lithuania. Other counties participating in the Enhanced Forward Presence are Canada, Romania, the Netherlands, Albania, Croatia, Belgium, Italy, Slovenia and Luxembourg. The US will also be relocating its Stryker Unit from Germany to Poland to join the vastly expanded military presence. It should be clear enough by now that the U.S. is by no means acting defensively in Ukraine, Syria, Europe or anywhere else. The U.S. government is playing a very dangerous game that could very well end the lives of the overwhelming majority of the planet. Thankfully, Putin has proven to be a cooler head than any leader in the NATO infrastructure and his calm responses are most likely the only reason the world has not been incinerated by now. The American people had better start paying attention to the aggressive posturing of their government and begin speaking out before it is too late.

Unfortunately the great majority of Americans ignorance is only exceeded by their lack of intelligence! They couldnt care less that they are marching to oblivion. Unfortunately they have been told so many times before that they are exceptional and most of them believe it. And the Pollys love to warm up the war drums to stir the heart. When one gets involved in business in Georgia, one enters the sphere naturally controlled by Russia! So its aggressive. Putin has never shown any intention towards the European or American space! He only claims to control the sphere around him. Its not aggressive! It is normal for Russia to defend itself. Russia is a country-martyr since the Mongols and the invasions of the Poles, Napoleon, and the Germans and Charles the III. She never assaulted anyone! But she has always been assaulted! It is normal for Russian society to develop a will to guarantee its security and create this glacis around its territory! I maintain that Russia is a victim-country! They will at all costs, all costs defend themselves and the Mother Land NATO wants to take on RUSSIA?! (and maybe China) NATO defeated itself by being invaded and overrun by the REFUJIHADIS from the wars NATO started but cant FINISH . THAT has to be a FIRST in all history. Not gonna happen, unless the US neocons have a huge death wish. Russia will target Washington D.C. first, I think. All this deployment is just a bunch of hoo-wah. Trump can just send another ship to Bremerhaven and load all those tanks back on the ship and return them to the US. Pull out, men, as they say in the old war movies. That will be that. It seems that somebody has been told to create a major crisis for Trump to walk into. Think about how its being seriously ramped up galore, just before he takes office. Hopefully, he has feelers out to Putin, to make sure that nothing kicks off before that time. And youre right Herbert, NATO (or is that an anagram for ATON?) the whole damn organisation shouldve been taken down after the USSR collapsed. It was there as a mirror of The Warsaw Pact union, so how come its still going and even operating outside of Europe, slaughtering people and putting nations into mayhem? Odd that, eh? (not). The reason for all this military posturing by NATO is to make people think they are necessary. NATO should have been disbanded after the collapse of the USSR. NATO has caused nothing but trouble ever since that time in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, and Libya. It would be good if Trump disbands it entirely. Nobodys going to be speaking out. Theres to many good shows streaming on Netflix and HBO. Besides speaking out is only going to get you put on the no fly list or shipped off to an internment camp. Dont worry Trump will fix it! Now back to your regular programming 
2	This State Just Announced Plans To Ban Christmas Because It Is Offensive In Obamas last few terms as President, weve seen a dramatic increase in the way that Muslims are influencing are country. Meanwhile, Christians and traditional American values are being demonized by the media. Now, the word Christmas has just been banned from public schools in all of Maryland. The decision came after Muslim families in Montgomery County, Maryland noticed that the Islamic holiday Ramadan was not present on the school calendar. Holidays like Christmas and Rush Hashanah were noted, however. Rather than simply adding the holiday to the calendar, the school board made the decision to make it religion neutral, meaning that no holidays whatsoever are recognized. Christmas vacation is now to be called winter break and Easter break no longer exists. What do you think? Are you sick of Americans bending over backwards to be politically correct? 
3	Obdurate Washington: The Magnitsky RulePaul Craig Roberts, Contributor Sergei Magnitsky was a Russian attorney who represented a British investment firm accused of tax evasion and fraud in Russia. Apparently, the UK firm supplied information to media alleging government misconduct and participation in corruption inside state-owned Russian companies. Magnitsky represented the accused UK firm. He claimed that the firm had not committed fraud but had been a victim of fraud. In turn, Magnitsky was arrested. He developed serious illnesses in prison for which he apparently received inadequate medical care. Whether he died of untreated illnesses, we cannot know. But the US Congress, acting on the unsubstantiated allegation that Magnitsky was tortured and murdered, attached to the trade normalization bill a provision that requires the US government to release a list of Russian government officials believed or imagined to have been involved with the violation of Magnitskys human rights and to freeze the assets of these members of the Russian government and to deny them visas to travel to the US. Considering Washingtons belief that its law is the universal law of humankind, Washington probably intends for every country to enforce its edict or to be sanctioned in turn. The Russian government finds the Magnitsky rule amusing. Here is the Russian government accused, without any evidence, of ONE torture and death, while Washington has such a large number of torture deaths from Abu Ghraib to Gitmo to the secret CIA torture centers to endless drone attacks on kids soccer games, weddings, funerals, medical clinics, schools, farm houses and aid workers. A number of rulers in human history have been this arrogant. But has a democracy ever been? Athens perhaps, but Sparta taught Athens a lesson. What do the members of Congress think is the response of the rest of the world to Washingtons utter hypocrisy? How can Washington pass a law punishing Russian government officials for allegedly doing once what we know for an absolute fact Washington does every day? The holier-than-thou presence that Washington presents to the world is so phony and shopworn that Washington is becoming not only despised but a laughing stock. Peoples cease to fear the superpower when they laugh at its folly, hypocrisy and utter stupidity. Certainly, the Russians are not afraid. The Russian Prime Minister, Dmitry Medvedev, responded to the Washington morons as follows: It is inadmissible when one country tries to dictate its will to another. The Magnitsky rule will bring forth a symmetrical and asymmetrical reaction from Russia. The Russian Duma seems intent that this be the case. (Source) Washington is like the drunk in a bar who picks a fight with a bruiser. Washington is full of itself, but Russia and China are not going to put up with a financially busted and militarily overstretched popinjay. The evil in Washington is driving us into nuclear war and into the destruction of life on earth. This article first appeared at Paul Craig Roberts new website Institute For Political Economy.

1	Count Vladimir Elysius von Chocula, the 400-year-old undead Rumanian nobleman who sustains his existence by feeding on the blood of the living, held a press conference at General Mills headquarters Monday to restate his long-standing advocacy of the pre-sweetened breakfast cereal that bears his name. Count Vladimir Elysius von Chocula eyes a bowl of his eponymous breakfast cereal. 'Bluh! I am Count Chocula!' the walking cadaver told reporters. 'And my cereal is a monstrously delicious part of this complete breakfast!' Chocula then gestured to a cobweb-strewn, rococo-carved oak table set with orange juice, buttered toast, half a grapefruit and a bowl of Count Chocula, part of General Mills' popular line of death-themed breakfast cereals. Chocula, who routinely feasts on the blood of the innocent to prolong his nightmarish living death, told parents that a single serving of Count Chocula with half a cup of skim milk provides nine essential vitamins and minerals, and contains only half a gram of fat. 'Count Chocula is a ghoulishly good way to start the day!' said Chocula, shielding himself from a ray of deadly sunlight with his giant cocoa-brown cape. 'It's so full of nutrients, it's frightening!' The emaciated, single-toothed corpse went on to note that for a limited time, specially marked boxes of the cereal will feature 'delectably scary' ghost-shaped marshmallow bits, as well as a coupon good for a $5 rebate on purchases of the direct-to-video film Casper & Wendy: The Mystery Of Ghoul Mountain. Chocula concluded the press conference by fatally attacking Associated Press reporter Milt Feuerstein, biting into his jugular vein and sucking out nearly five quarts of blood. Chocula's announcement is widely considered the most vehement on behalf of a breakfast cereal since October 1998, when a lurching, misshapen zombie-man assembled from stitched-together dead bodies demanded that U.S. children consume a strawberry-flavored cereal, and that a monstrous bride be made for him. 
2	Megyn Kelly Absolutely Destroys Obama For Not Doing His Job [VIDEO] Megyn Kelly attacked Obama, once again. This time, it was because Obama wasnt doing his job (then again, is he ever really doing his job?). After the FBI announced that the San Bernardino shooting was a terrorist attack, Kelly unleashed her wrath on Obama. Where is he? Kelly asked. And why isnt he coming on camera tonight to address the nation? We look to our president as commander in chief and, at a time like this, as Comforter in Chief, she said. And I dont mean to say that this is the same as 9/11, but this is a terrorist attack, the FBI tells us its so. Obama must be too busy trying to force his Gun Control policies. Do you think Obama needs to change his priorities? 
2	Citizens And Sheriff Prevent VA From Seizing Disabled Vets Guns President Obama has made it abundantly clear that he is frustrated he has not been able to enact new gun control legislation restricting the Second Amendment rights of American citizens. But that doesnt mean that some scary actions have already been takenand theyre impacting our most vulnerable population. According to reports, the Obama administration has just implemented new policies that will make it impossible for some disabled veterans to purchase guns. In fact, it might even lead to their firearms being confiscateda tragedy that almost came to fruition in Idaho yesterday. A group of northern Idaho residents lined up outside a U.S. Navy veterans home on Thursday to ensure that didnt happen, protesting claims that federal officials were planning on confiscating the mans weapons. Rep. Heather Scott of Blanchard claims that the Veteran Affairs office sent a letter to resident John Arnold warning him that he can no longer possess or purchase firearms. The group standing up for Arnolds rights include Bonner County Sheriff Daryl Wheeler, and Washington state Rep. Matthew Shea of Spokane Valley, who called the act defiance against tyranny. I took an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution and uphold the laws of Idaho, Wheeler told reporters. This seemed appropriate to show my support. I was going to make sure Mr. Arnolds rights werent going to be breached. Meanwhile, the VA denies that they have the ability to confiscate guns from anyone. They do admit, however, to sending Arnold a letter. What do you think of the VAs actions? Do we need to stand up for our Second Amendment rights? 
3	ISIS Psyop Final Phase - Prolonging the Existence of ISISBernie Suarez Yes, at this point in history, given the information age and the broad worldwide awakening to the new world order plans, we can now definitively declare not only the manifestation of our conscious existence but concomitantly we can pinpoint the manifestation of those who are the exact opposite of who we are; that is, those who are asleep in the matrix and believe mainstream media propaganda and the lies that the sheep are told every day. There is something special about mainstream media CIA-controlled news that is important to point out. Ive alluded to this in previous articles but its very important to mention again here. The idea of mainstream media acting as a deceptive government mouthpiece is something most if not all of my readers are widely familiar with. However, it is important to underscore that mainstream media news, like the moving spiral of a hypnotic presentation, is always moving. In other words, if mainstream media actually stopped for even one day, it would begin to lose its effect immediately, and the control system knows this. The power of CIA-controlled mainstream media hypnosis comes in the fact that mainstream media news is ongoing. You get hit with one story, then another, then another, and another and so on. The motion of stories never ends. This moving quality of story-delivery is powerful and carries a hypnotic effect. Let me be more specific. When your brain hears one story about ISIS, if that story stood alone eventually your brain would start questioning the story if it didnt have enough weight of evidence to it. However, given the same amount of non-evidence, if you keep the ISIS stories coming continuously, your brain starts wondering how improbable it is that ALL of the stories are untrue; therefore, the naive brain begins to accept that even if the first one or two stories werent exactly true, then these next 50 stories cant all possibly be untrue. With this example we can see that the motion of delivering continuous stories then begins to take root inside the mind of the naive mainstream media watcher until finally the person simply believes what they see. With this moving process of continuous lies the CIA is assured that mainstream media believers will eventually be lulled into the hypnotic state they want. Once the sheep are in a deep trance (probably within the first one or two months of repeatedly seeing ISIS stories in this example) the sheep will accept literally anything the CIA throws at them. This final phase is exactly where we are in terms of the now historic 2014 American media ISIS psyop. This deep trance phase is the phase which will last a very long time, and its main purpose is to prolong the perceived existence of ISIS. During this long trance phase the only thing that matters is that ISIS never goes away. So no matter how powerful the U.S. military is and how powerful the military of all of its allies are, ISIS will never be and must never be defeated. ISIS must live on somehow in this long-term final psyop phase. From an Intelligence standpoint the creators of the ISIS script need to be creative in generating stories about ISIS that makes it appear as though they are invincible, invisible, have impeccable intelligence, demonstrate super counter-surveillance, are masters of the Internet and alternate communication, are wildly evasive and untraceable, are mobile, clever, quick, ultra-strategic and full of masterful military tactical surprises. Prolonging the ISIS psyop doesnt end there. It is imperative to push ISIS out of the news for long periods of time so we can expect this next year (2015). Pushing ISIS out of the news for repeated chunks of time will buy the globalists plenty of time to regroup and create more plans with ISIS. This can be easily accomplished by simply focusing on new stories. The media needs no practice with this; think to yourself right now whatever happened to MH370?? Or MH17 for that matter?? In order to prolong the ISIS psyop we can expect specific pieces of evidence to fall into the lap of our criminal government similar to the fake beheading videos that characterized the introductory phase of the ISIS psyop. Perhaps they will find new videos of ISIS warriors beheading new journalists or Christians. Perhaps they (CIA/Mossad) will hit the studios for a high production value scene which could be indoors or outdoors. Perhaps they will go for the full blood and guts effect instead of cutting to black before showing a Photoshopped head on top of a body. Perhaps they will unleash a pack of new ISIS captured criminals who will confess to committing crimes against America. There is no way to tell what direction the CIA/Mossad will take the ISIS psyop, but in order to do whatever they want to do they will need time. Time is the most important factor right now because no one is asking the obvious questions: Given how small ISIS is and how powerful the U.S. military and its allies are, why does ISIS still exist?? Other questions are not being asked like: How is ISIS managing to exist without food and water? If they do have food supply who then is supplying ISIS with food and water? Where are they getting their new ammunition? Who is cleaning their weapons? Weapons that are not regularly maintained and properly cleaned do not fire properly, remember? Soldiers without food dont have energy to fight so who is running the ISIS supply department and why is their supply not cut off by now? The simple questions that blow open and expose the ISIS psyop go on and on and on. I asked many of these simple questions in my article months ago How is ISIS getting on the Internet? Who is hosting their account? How do they have a production department and who does their programming and editing? Where are these fancy facilities located and why was their power and communication not cut off a long time ago? If ISIS gets a flat tire where do they fix it? Why and how do they have the time and space to live so comfortably while waging supposed wars on multiple fronts against the worlds greatest military of all time and still easily survive and carry on strong? Whos teaching ISIS? Where (according to the CIA-controlled mainstream media new world order mouthpiece) is ISIS training? Where do they train to fire howitzers and tanks? How about flying planes?? Our CIA-controlled media has no answers for any of these questions. They just want you to think that ISIS simply came about from secret anonymous funding. The U.S. weapons are supposed to be magically stolen and the endless supply of ammunition simply found randomly. At this point in history (November 2014) the ISIS psyop is becoming a story for the ages. I encourage all truth seekers to keep a tight watch on ISIS and the tales the CIA and the globalists have in store for us. Please do whatever you can to expose this final phase of the psyop; and by that I mean the perceived prolongation of their very existence. In order to prolong the existence of ISIS the CIA will likely have to put out many stories of others joining ISIS so that ISIS comes across as a growing group instead of a dwindling group of untrained young men running around with covered faces. The ISIS psyop may very well be forever or at least a very long time and those of us who have narrated the ISIS tale from the minute they were made global stars by our mass media late this summer have an obligation to narrate the truth about ISIS as it happens in real-time. Future generations deserve to know the truth about the creation and the prolongation of the ISIS psyop and we have an obligation to provide that narrative. So lets keep watchful of all their moves and be aware of where we stand historically. ISIS is a creation of and for the new world order globalist gangsters. ISIS has a love relationship with Israel and we can expect that they will only be used to help the U.S. expand their global wars while at the same time help the globalists continue to expand their domination, power and tyranny in the U.S. over American citizens. Once you understand these two major goals you will understand why ISIS will not attack Israel, yet they supposedly are willing to travel magically all the way from the Middle East to the United States just to blow up American targets. Face it, ISIS is the perfect tool for the globalists and anyone going along with the ISIS psyop is naively supporting the globalists and their plans for world domination. Until we can solve our problems by dissolving the Federal Reserve criminal banking system and stop funding the U.S. Department of Defense that pays to arm and equip organizations like ISIS and Al Qaeda, we will not be able to stop this madness. Hopefully a solution is near; until then. let us do what we can to spread the awareness and information like this that leads to ideological resistance. With enough awareness I believe we can change this horrific road that we are on. We have what it takes to put an end to this psychopathic madness that the globalists have created with the U.S., Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and others. We must remain strong and vigilant and hope that enough people see what is happening and impose their will on this system, which is now the greatest threat to humanity. If you believe and understand this message, share it with someone and lets hope that the prolongation of the ISIS psyop becomes their own undoing. Let us be creative in finding ways to derail their plans and expose their lies. Lets use every technique we can think of including art, poetry, articles, music, films, documentaries, comedy, rallies, petitions, online campaigns, books, blogs, personal creative projects and anything else you can think of to expose their plans. In the end, remember this is not just about the ISIS psyop, this is a battle for humanity, truth, justice, morality, reason, dignity, integrity and honor. We WILL win this information war, which is not just about information but a spiritual and psychological overall human survival war. A war that only we are capable of truly winning since the control system doesnt have a conscience or spirit as a driving force the way that we do. Let yourself ponder on this for a minute 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	Flashback: Michelle Obama Falls On Her Face, Completely Humiliates Herself In front Of Thousands Years later, we are still thinking about this embarrassing incident for First Lady Michelle Obama. At a support rally for then presidential-hopeful Barack Obama, Stevie Wonder was accompanied by Michelle. Unfortunately, both he and Michelle took a tumble as they were making their way up the stairs. Both Stevie and Michelle were uninjured, and preceded to take the stage with Oprah Winfrey. This is not the first time Michelle has displayed her clumsiness, and were sure it wont be the last. 
3	Is indifference and hostility to life a leadership requirement?Jon Rappoport I believe the answer to both questions is yes. And at the core, this plan is based on the premise that humans are simply a group species, a mass, a biological eruption that occurred on Earth at some point in the past, like fleas or ants. One human is of no importance to elites. The human race, as if animals in a lab destined for torture and experimentation, can be changed, added to, subtracted from, right down to their DNA, and all the way up to their brains. The outcome would be better humans. The meaning of better is controllable. Not merely controllable here and there, now and then, but always and all the time. Exactly as machines are controllable. Introduce genetic alteration into all species of life. Plants and animals. If GMO science is unpredictable and harmful, when it comes to food crops, oh well, try a different pattern of genetic insertion and see what that brings. Its all an experiment,and eventually, something better will come of it. If drilling down into the earth and injecting chemicals, to bring up fuel for civilization results in mass poisoning and unpredictable cracks in the planet, or if nuclear power plants leak and spew radiation all over the world, or if seeding the sky with chemicals and metals ends up debilitating populations, or if drugging the inhabitants of the planet with medicines kill millions of people every yearso be it. Just another glitch or two in The Experiment. As a physicist at Livermore Labs blithely told PR chief Bill Perry, in the 1980s, when Perry asked him why he needed more research funding for hydrogen bombs, You dont understand, Bill, this is a physics and math problem. Whats called transhumanism is the overall effort to improve on Nature by trying out numerous recombinations and innovations. Lets assume we can hook up a human brain to a giant artificial brain (computer) and thus create a superhuman. Then lets do it, because, what difference does it make? We can keep trying it with different experimental parameters and see what comes of it. After all, we have lots of brains and theyre all disposable. As Ive written before, and will continue to write: this Grand Experiment, in all its aspects, is the obvious outcome of Philosophic Materialism. That philosophy, whether stated completely or merely implied, holds that all life is biological and chemical, there is nothing else, there is only the ocean of lifeless particles flowing through the universe. There is no such thing as freedom, there is no such thing as consciousness, there is no such thing as imagination. These are ideas born from delusion fostered in the brain, and the brain must be reprogrammed to operate more effectively. People perceive they have problems and troubles? Thats a brain defect. Try out a hundred, a thousand new (toxic) medicines, change DNA a thousand different ways, rewire the synapses, beam electromagnetic impulses into the brain. Sooner or later, humans will stop thinking they have problems, and therefore, theyll be content, regardless of external circumstances. This is the goal. Reprogram the human race to achieve overall mediocre contentment, regardless of what is happening in the world. Great joy? Ecstasy? Freedom? Resistance? Surpassing love? The power to create truly majestic futures? Wipe them all out. Those are the impediments to progress. But There is a joker in the deck. The wild card. And that wild card isnt, to begin with, the mass of humanity. Its you. What you can discover in yourself, what is always there, waiting, what you were born with and what you will be born with again. The imagination to create something different and the power to make it happen in the world. All the propaganda on Earth cant dissolve thatnot even the propaganda you invent to limit and define yourself. No, Im not talking New Age rainbows here. Im talking rock-bottom power, from which many flee, armed with an endless supply of excuses and rationalizations. Power. It never goes away, like it or not. This is the real nightmare. Not goblins and monsters. The real nightmare is that, underneath the nice and accommodating surface of social performance, that creative power is sitting and waiting for you to call it up, to enlist it, to use it, to throw off this planet-of-control and reinstate life-force to its prime position. And in their own way, the elites are aware of that. Thats why they spend trillions to install transhumanism. Thats why theyve been working ceaselessly, since the dawn of time on this world, to make mind control pay off. Thats why, at night, they dream of you. You, awake at last, seeing things as they are, beyond the material, beyond the slogans of the day, riding at them and beyond them with full power.

3	How Liberty Was LostPaul Craig Roberts From the beginning, answer some. English colonists, themselves under the thumb of a king, exterminated American Indians and stole their lands, as did late 18th and 19th century Americans. Over the course of three centuries the native inhabitants of America were dispossessed, just as Israelis have been driving Palestinians off their lands since 1948. Demonization always plays a role. The Indians were savages and the Palestinians are terrorists. Any country that can control the explanation can get away with evil. I agree that there is a lot of evil in every country and civilization. In the struggle between good and evil, religion has at times been on the side of evil. However, the notion of moral progress cannot so easily be thrown out. Consider, for example, slavery. In the 1800s, slavery still existed in countries that proclaimed equal rights. Even free women did not have equal rights. Today no Western country would openly tolerate the ownership of humans or the transfer of a womans property upon her marriage to her husband. It is true that Western governments have ownership rights in the labor of their citizens through the income tax. This remains as a mitigated form of serfdom. So far, however, no government has claimed the right of ownership over the person himself. This might sound like cynical advice, but it is not devoid of some truth. Indeed, it is the way Washington and New York work, and increasingly the way the entire country operates. Washington serves powerful private interests, not the public interest. University faculties in their research increasingly serve private interests and decreasingly serve truth. In the US the media is no longer a voice and protection for the people. It is becoming increasingly impossible in America to get a good job without being connected to the system that serves the elites. The problem I have with this give up attitude is that over the course of my life, and more broadly over the course of the 20th century, many positive changes occurred through reforms. It is impossible to have reforms without good will, so even the elites who accepted reforms that limited their powers were part of the moral progress. Labor unions became a countervailing power to corporate management and Wall Street. Working conditions were reformed. Civil rights were extended. People excluded by the system were brought into it. Anyone who grew up in the 20th century can add his own examples. Progress was slowunduly so from a reformers standpointand mistakes were made. Nevertheless, whether done properly or improperly there was a commitment to the expansion of civil liberty. This commitment ended suddenly on September 11, 2001. In eleven years the Bush/Obama Regime repealed 800 years of human achievements that established law as a shield of the people and, instead, converted law into a weapon in the hands of the government. Today Americans and citizens of other countries can, on the will of the US executive branch alone, be confined to torture dungeons for the duration of their lives with no due process or evidence presented to any court, or they can be shot down in the streets or exterminated by drone missiles. The power that the US government asserts over its subjects and also over the citizens of other countries is unlimited. Lenin described unlimited power as power resting directly on force, not limited by anything, not restricted by any laws, nor any absolute rules. Washington claims that it is the indispensable government representing the exceptional people and thereby has the right to impose its will and justice on the rest of the world and that resistance to Washington constitutes terrorism to be exterminated by any possible means. Thus, the American neoconservatives speak of nuking Iran for insisting on its independence from American hegemony and exercising its rights to nuclear energy under the non-proliferation treaty to which Iran is a signatory. In other words, Washingtons will prevails over international treaties that have the force of law, treaties which Washington itself imposed on the world. According to the neoconservatives and Washington, Iran is not protected by the legal contract that Iran made with Washington when Iran signed the non-proliferation treaty. Iran finds itself as just another 17th or 18th century American Indian tribe to be deprived of its rights and to be exterminated by the forces of evil that dominate Washington, D.C. The vast majority of superpower americans plugged into the Matrix, where they are happy with the disinformation pumped into their brains by Washington and its presstitute media, would demur rather than face my facts. This raises the question: how does one become unplugged and unplug others from the Matrix? Readers have asked, and I do not have a complete answer. It seems to happen in a number of ways. Being fired and forced to train your H-1B foreign replacement who works for lower pay, being convicted of a crime that you did not commit, having your children stolen from you by Child Protective Services because bruises from sports activities were alleged to be signs of child abuse, your home stolen from you because a mortgage based on fraud was given the force of law, laid off by free market capitalism as your age advanced and the premium of your employer-provided medical insurance increased, being harassed by Homeland Security on your re-entry to the US because you are a non-embedded journalist who reports truthfully on US behavior abroad. There are many instances of Americans being jolted into reality by the freedom and democracy scales falling away from their eyes. It is possible that becoming unplugged from the Matrix is a gradual lifelong experience for the few who pay attention. The longer they live, the more they notice that reality contradicts the governments and medias explanations. The few who can remember important stuff after watching reality shows and their favorite sports teams and fantasy movies gradually realize that there is no new economy to take the place of the manufacturing economy that was given away to foreign countries. Once unemployed from their dirty fingernail jobs, they learn that there is no new economy to employ them. Still seething from the loss of the Vietnam War and anger at war protesters, some flag-waving patriots are slowly realizing the consequences of criminalizing dissent and the exercise of First Amendment rights. You are with us or against us is taking on threatening instead of reassuring connotations, implying that anyone who opens his or her mouth in any dissent is thereby transformed into an enemy of the state. More Americans, but far from enough, are coming to the realization that the extermination of the Branch Davidians at Waco in 1993 was a test run to confirm that the public and Congress would accept the murder of civilians who had been demonized with false charges of child abuse and gun-running. The next test was the Oklahoma City Bombing in 1995. Whose explanation would prevail: the governments or that of experts? Air Force General Partin, a top expert on explosives, proved conclusively in a heavily documented report given to every member of Congress that the Murruh Federal Office Building blew up from the inside out, not from the outside in from the fertilizer car bomb. But General Partins facts lost out to the governments propaganda and to Congress avoidance of cognitive dissonance. Once the national security government learned that its pronouncements and those of the presstitute media carried more weight than the facts presented by experts, conspiracies such as Operation Northwoods could be put into play. A 9/11 became possible. The Pentagon, CIA, and military/security complex were desperate for a new enemy to replace the Soviet threat, which had ceased to exist. The military/security complex and its servants in Congress were determined to replace the profits made from the cold war and to preserve and increase the powers accumulated in the Pentagon and CIA. The only possible replacement for the Soviet threat was Muslim terrorists. Thus, the creation of the al Qaeda threat and the conflation of this new threat with secular Arab governments, such as Iraqs and Syrias, which were the real targets of Islamists. Despite the evidence provided by experts that secular Arab governments, such as Saddam Husseins, were allies against Islamic extremism, the US government used propaganda to link the secular Iraq government with Iraqs enemies among Islamic revolutionaries. Once Washington confirmed that the American public was both too ignorant and too inattentive to pay any attention to events that would alter their lives and jeopardize their existence, every thing else followed: the PATRIOT Act, the suspension of the Constitution and destruction of civil liberty, Homeland Security which has quickly extended its gestapo reach from airports to train stations, bus terminals and highway road blocks, the criminalization of dissent, the equating of critics of the government with supporters of terrorism, the home invasions of antiwar protesters and their arraignment before a grand jury, the prosecution of whistleblowers who reveal government crimes, the equating of journalism organizations such as WikiLeaks with spies. The list goes on. The collapse of truth in the US and in its puppet states is a major challenge to my view that truth and good will are powers that can prevail over evil. It is possible that my perception that moral progress has occurred in various periods of Western civilization reflects a progressive unplugging from the Matrix. What I remember as reforms might be events experienced through the rose colored glasses of the Matrix. But I think not. Reason is an important part of human existence. Some are capable of it. Imagination and creativity can escape chains. Good can withstand evil. The extraordinary film, The Matrix, affirmed that people could be unplugged. I believe that even americans can be unplugged. If I give up this belief, I will cease writing. This article first appeared at Paul Craig Roberts new website Institute For Political Economy.

1	A major contribution to the study of 19th-century literature was made Monday with the handing-in of 'Silas Marner: Paper #1' by Lori Durst, a freshman at the University of Connecticut. College freshman Lori Durst's recent English 140 paper about <I>Silas Marner</I> has electrified the academic world. According to leading experts on Silas Marner, George Eliot's 1861 fable of cruelty and redemption in the rural English countryside, Durst's three-page work contains a revolutionary insight into a key piece of symbolism in the novel which had previously escaped scholars. 'It's a staggering observation, one that's certain to alter the way we approach this text forever,' said Harold Bloom, Yale professor and author of The Western Canon. 'On page two, Durst makes a connection between the golden hair of the child left on Marner's doorstep and the misplaced heap of gold coins with which he is obsessed. While it may take decades for the full significance of this 'chromatic objective correlative' to ripple through academia, in my mind it has already opened the door to a rich, fertile, and heretofore virgin soil of Eliotian structural analysis.' 'Yeah, the girl's hair is gold, and then [Silas Marner] is also looking for his missing gold,' Durst said. 'So in my paper I said how that was symbolic of something.' 'Stunning,' is how Jay Kushner, 23, a teacher's assistant in 'English 140: 19th Century British Fiction,' described his pupil's double-spaced manifesto. 'As a section leader, I am lucky enough to read dozens of breathtakingly insightful two- to three-page papers from undergraduates each week. But even in the rarefied world of first-year papers, Lori's towers above the rest.' Durst, a native of Holmdel, NJ, who plans to major in psychology, said the idea for the essay came to her approximately three weeks ago, when her professor instructed the students to 'start thinking about which book we'd want to write our first papers on.' Durst said she chose to focus on Silas Marner 'because it looked pretty short.' 'My friend Lisa did hers on Middlemarch,' Durst said, 'and I was like, 'Are you crazy?' That thing is like 10 times longer.' Professor Thomas Perkins, who teaches English 140, was unavailable to comment on the paper. But another University of Connecticut English professor, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that Perkins and his colleagues were 'stunned and somewhat embarrassed' by Durst's 12-point, Chicago-fonted magnum opus. 'You have to understand, many of us have read Silas Marner 10, 20 times,' the professor said. 'Maybe we had a vague sense that this adorable, golden-tressed waif who comes along to redeem Silas' soul could have something to do with the gold coins that, prior to her arrival, had been the focus of Silas' life. But we, and apparently every reader before Ms. Durst, simply dropped the ball.' Word of Durst's groundbreaking observation has spread quickly through academic circles, sending Victorian scholars scrambling to their annotated Norton editions of the novel and prompting at least a dozen major academic conferences to extend invitations to her. A key passage from Durst's '<I>Silas Marner</I>: Paper #1' Widespread publication and dissemination of 'Silas Marner Paper #1,' however, will have to wait: Only one copy of the paper currently exists, and, despite the enormous demand, Durst has been unable to print more due to what she terms 'some kind of total screw-up with my StyleWriter.' Though Durst's frequent absences from lecture and much-publicized May 1996 dismissal of Charles Dickens' Bleak House as 'unbelievably boring' had previously earned her a reputation as a rebel in the field of literary criticism, her status as a rising star of academia now seems assured. While Durst declined to reveal the exact direction she would take her scholarship in the near future, she did express a strong, long-term commitment to the study of English literature. 'I still have to take three more English classes to fulfill my minimum distribution,' Durst said, 'so I guess I'll be stuck reading books for a while.' Indeed, Durst's far-reaching intellect may soon become a lodestar for an entirely different academic field. French linguists around the world breathlessly await the completion of her next project, 'French 110: Essaie Mandatoire,' due next Thursday. 
3	The High of 2016: Marijuana Legalization Quietly Goes GlobalBy Alice Salles But as the U.S. legalization trend continues and anti-drug war advocates are reminded to stay strong, were also reminded that the pro-pot movement was not launched in the United States. It has been spreading globally, as far back as 1976, with countries like the Netherlands and Portugal experimenting with decriminalization and teaching the world a lesson on the importance of respecting personal choices. In 2016, Uruguay and Canada legalized and regulated weed, helping to remove the stigma around the use of the plant. But Ireland, Australia, Germany, and Jamaica werent far behind, approving laws that recognize medical marijuana. Before them, Colombian president Juan Manuel Santoshad signed a decree making the cultivation, consumption, import and export of medical marijuana legal, while in Chile, the private and personal use of cannabis has been decriminalized since 2005. By 2016, the Chilean congress had approved a bill allowing locals to grow small amounts for medical, recreational, or spiritual use. On the African continent, countries like South Africa are also inching closer to legalization, with court cases that could legalize weed sales still pending. In countries like Egypt, Gabon, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, Ghana, Botswana, Morocco, and Ethiopia, selling and using pot may still be illegal, but enforcement is usually lax, and groups have been lobbying their governments to put an end to anti-cannabis rules. In Portugal, the possession of all drugs was decriminalized in 2001. This move helped to ensure drug dealers and users do not get sucked into the legal black hole that is so familiar to drug users and sellers in America. But for anti-drug war advocates who are concerned about the social cost of the war on drugs, the quest for justice has been leading entire nations toward legalization an action that is commonly followed by regulation. And while legalization helps to protect users, regulation often helps to insulate certain growers and sellers with access to the market, keeping competitors at bay. By imposing taxes and rules, governments set barriers to entry, giving growers and sellers without access to capital even more incentive to stay in the black market. As Mises Institutes Ryan McMaken explained in his Government Regulators Drive Legal Marijuana Underground piece, businesses have moved underground to use so-called gray markets since U.S. states began legalizing weed. In this case, the problem has to do with the federal ban on marijuana, which still stands despite popular pressure. Since weed businesses in states where cannabis is legal do not have access to financial institutions because of federal laws, they have fewer options when it comes to looking for funds to open their businesses. They also have a hard time opening business banking accounts since their money is coming from the commerce of weed. Further, they are barred from taking tax deductions and benefiting from tax credits, meaning they endure the costs of doing business but receive no breaks as other businesses do. That means a marijuana business owner can pay an effective tax rate as high as 70 percent, as opposed to the more typical 30 percent rate, the Daily Beast has reported. If no laws prohibiting or regulating the sale or use of cannabis are in place, regulation cannot stand in the way of private institutions like smaller banks or credit unions and individuals hoping to start their own businesses. By decriminalizing weed, individuals gain by having access to more choices. And when it comes to weed consumption (or any other product for that matter), choice is what guarantees product quality and customer satisfaction. Hopefully, this global legalization trend will continue, bringing the focus back to decriminalization and peace.

Tally up all of the tax revenue that has been foregone by all the decades of the War on (some) Drugs, and all of the tax revenue spent on enforcing the War on (some) Drugs. What would the fiscal position be now across all levels of government if we had never conducted this insane war? The time to come to your senses is before youve squandered the national treasure on letting a few intolerant monkeys impose their sick will on the rest of us. Well said, Tom, and the intolerant monkeys were being well paid off by both organized crime and the law enforcement lobby for imposing their sick will on the rest of us. Im yet to see Medical Marijuana introduced in Australia, at least not here in N.S.W. The best we can ever hope for from our typically inept and corrupt Government, a long-time shill of the Pharmaceutical Cartel is a genetically-modified version with the THC removed, most likely in the form of a pill. Hardly something I would clamour for when the natural version has been proven for millennia to offer such a tremendous assistance to mankinds health on many levels. Yes, it exists. Called Marinol? lol nice article, but HEY, you forgot Oregon. #proudoregonian [George Soros was one of the primary funders of Proposition 215, and deserves accolades.] No. He doesnt deserve accolades. I basically agree with most everything else you say. Thanks. All work requires funding, and it cannot succeed without it. Not only did Proposition 215 pass, a close race, thanks to the funding of Soros, Soros continued to fund the Drug Policy Alliance for years until the next 3 states passed medical cannabis (which took 10 years). I care about Truth, and I wonder why few do. Without Soros support, there would have been no medical cannabis decriminalization, and for that I am more than grateful, not because I ever use cannabis for any reason, but because it is without question one of the most effective medicines available to humanity. 
3	Toy Guns in America: The 1950s Versus TodayAaron Dykes Melissa Melton Others not included here are a kid who was suspended for having gun wallpaper on his school computer, and A DEAF THREE-YEAR-OLD named Hunter whose school told his parents that when he spelled his own name in sign language, it looked too much like a gun, so they wanted the parents to change the sign for their childs name. (Yes. Apparently that actually happened.) Meanwhile, as in the case of Tamir Rice, we have seen that children who play with toy guns are killed by our modern-day militarized police who shoot first and ask questions lateras if children are old enough to understand the consequences of their actions living in a total police state. We dont expect children to be old enough to vote or buy alcohol, but we expect them to realize if they play with a toy, the cops might gun them down without even giving them a chance to say a word. Tamir was playing with just such a toy in a park in Cincinnati and someone called the cops on him for it. The caller even alluded that the gun was fake twice and that Tamir was probably a kid. That didnt stop the police from showing up and shooting him dead literally within two seconds. Its a far cry from that classic TV commercial for toy guns from back in the day..

1	Following a two and half hour delay for heavy sunshine Monday, umpire Charlie Reliford canceled the game between the Padres and Diamondbacks at Petco Park when a deluge of direct rays from the sun made it impossible for players to take the field. 'We waited for awhile to see if the conditions would improve, but the light was really glaring out there,' Reliford said. 'It was so bright out that you couldn't even see the ball. It looked like we might luck out for a bit there, but it started shining hard and pretty soon the whole field was drenched with sun.' Although the MLB has yet to reschedule the game, officials said that they would try to schedule it sometime after southern California's sunny season. 
3	FL Mans Patriot Garden Targeted Again - City Threatens Uprooting and Daily $500 FinesThey will take our house before they take our Patriot Garden.Again, Helvenston stands firm and he wants you to join him! Jason and Jennifer Helvenston were given a strict deadline of November 7 to uproot their beautiful 2525 foot front yard garden or else face major punishment. That garden still stands and so does their resolution to keep it. A flood of supportive emails initially stopped the threats of forced excavation by Orlando, cancelling a December board hearing, but, as always when perceived public fervor ebbed, the city quietly came back to demand its removal again. Starting tomorrow they will be inspected and charged $500 per day if the garden isnt gone they are not deterred. Instead, they have launched Plant a Seed, Change the Law and want to help you get started.Of course, the news anchor gave the wrong website go to Patriot-gardens.com to request free seeds and start your garden in solidarity. Please see more details below. To inspire and facilitate the development of a well-planned, diverse, and sustainable community to make Orlando more livable for its citizens, businesses and visitors. The mayor encouraged its citizens to grow gardens even appearing in an ad! Caricatures are depicted planting gardens everywhere in the city growing with neighbors is encouraged. Look at all the things Mayor Buddy Dyer tells the townspeople to do: But codes are codes, and this one vaguely demands that ground covers be planted in a way that gives off a finished appearance so neighborhood lawns are clean, and inviting keeping property values up. The violation, however, simply states failure to keep grounds covered. There istalkof the city wanting them to invest hundreds in caging or boxed containers, or face the $500 daily fine but wait! Wouldnt that further set them apart from the other finished lawns? Is thatinvitingand conducive to property values? There is some buck passing and semantics with this issue. The mayor appears to support the Helvenstons, yet what else is he doing to repeal the violations which he admits dont exist because gardens arent forbidden and the code doesnt address front yards? He sounds encouraging while talking about codes adapting to societys changing tastes and then mentions deploying a Green Works Task Force. Always beware of the words Task Force. Talk to the mayor below. Jason isnt taking the bait he and Jennifer said NO at every directive if they had conceded at all, the Patriot Garden would be gone and with it, a growing revolution. The only way to stop the insanity is to keep going and ignore bureaucratic threats. Jason said: The greatest freedom you can give someone is the freedom to know they will not go hungry. Our Patriot Garden pays for all of its costs in healthy food and lifestyle while having the lowest possible carbon footprint. It supplies valuable food while being attractive. I really do not understand why there is even a discussion. They will take our house before they take our Patriot Garden. His wife Jennifer said: We are asking residents across Orlando and the country to join us in planting a Patriot Garden in their own front yards. Please email us at patriotgarden@gmail.com and we will send you a free packet of radish seeds and a small sign for your front yard that says Patriot Garden: Plant a Seed, Change the Law. [see more below] They say on their website: All we want to do is use our property peacefully to grow our own food.The Constitution protects our property rights from arbitrary invasions like this. Help us tell our leaders Hands off our food! by planting your own Patriot Garden in your front yard. Heres how.

3	Did the U.S. Department of Justice Just Lie to the U.N.?Janet Phelan Recent statements by David Bitkower, Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Division, United States Department of Justice to the United Nations Convention Against Torture, statements made during the review by that body of the US and its torture policies during the past five years, could be considered as subsumed under both of the above two categories. And sadly, Bitkower misrepresented actions taken by the US DOJ. The statements in question were made this past November when UNCAT convened to review the torture record of the US and were subsequently included in the official UNCAT report without substantiating documents and indeed, without questions being raised as to the veracity of Mr. Bitkowers assertions. At a time when torture has increasingly become a concern, one might expect the US to put some spit shine on its face to the world. Bitkower was certainly in the polishing mode, as his presentation of the DOJs Critical Role in Upholding US Obligations under Convention Against Torture was rife with self congratulatory references to the attention that the US government is giving to its torture record, both internationally and domestically. However, Bitkower went too far. While expounding on domestic prosecutions for police abuse, a subject which is always of concern when one discusses torture, Bitkower made a pronouncement that was so far from reality that one wonders how the UN could have swallowed a whopper of this magnitude without gagging. Declared Bitkower, And then came the whopper. Said Bitkower, In the criminal realm, we have prosecuted over 330 police officers for misconduct in the last five years. Before delving into the magnitude and implications of this patently false statement, lets fill in some blanks here. We are going to focus here initially on people killed by police, as a worst case scenario of potential police abuse. The numbers of people killed by police officers in the US is admittedly a cloudy figure. According to estimates, the numbers run somewhere between a thousand and two thousand a year. While the FBI is supposed to maintain a database on these killings, a recent article in the Wall Street Journal revealed the inadequacy of this database. According to the WSJ article, local police agencies are not fulfilling their mandate to report these killings. A non-government website, Killedbypolice.net, is tracking these killings through media reports. The first seventeen days of January saw 53 people killed by police throughout the US, according to this website. The website tracked 1103 such deaths in 2014. In an interview this past week, Franklin Zimring, William G. Simon Professor of Law at UC Berkeley Law School, expanded upon the difficulty of obtaining an accurate headcount. In an interview last week, Professor Zimring pointed out that all the deaths at hands of the police may not get news coverage; indeed, some may not be reported at all. So with these thoughts in mind, and understanding that the numbers reported either by the FBI or by independent calculations may be low, one might figure that the 330 prosecutions for police abuse cited by Bitkower might be realistic. However, as it turns out, Bitkower was blowing a huge plume of smoke up the collective behinds of the international community when he made this statement to the United Nations. According to Professor Zimring, this figure is very suspicious. I would doubt there were as many criminal prosecutions as the fingers on one hand. A review of the website for the US DOJ, Civil Rights Criminal Division produced four cases in which the US DOJ successfully prosecuted police for misconduct in the past five years. There was no mention of any unsuccessful prosecutions. In fact, a spokesperson for the DOJ was unable to come up with a single prosecution by the DOJ for police abuse in the relevant five year time period. In response to a request for the documentation of these criminal prosecutions, George Horneado of the DOJ press office replied with a document listing the consent decrees created by the DOJ in recent years. Consent decrees are not prosecutions. In this context, Consent decrees are arrangements between the DOJ and a local police agency wherein the policies and actions of the police agency are subject to review and modification by the DOJwithout criminal prosecution. Quoting from the document provided from Horneado: When it was pointed out to Horneado that a consent decree is not a criminal prosecution and that the request was for information on criminal prosecutions, Horneado declined to tender any information concerning these cases. The police in the US seem to have tacit permission to murder US citizens. The recent uproar in both Ferguson and in New York over the separate failure to prosecute police for the murder of two unarmed black men are only the most recent incidents highlighting the latitude given police. When the ACLU of Southern Oregon was recently approached with evidence that a local Internal Affairs department was covering for abusive police officers, the head of their legal department asserted, The climate is not right now to address police abuse. If that is so, then Bitkowers false assertions as to the record of the DOJ in criminally prosecuting police officers assumes a different dimension. If indeed abusive and murderous police are being given a pass for actions that deserve prosecution, then Bitkowers whopper may be seen as a studied attempt to convince us otherwise. As David Bitkower stated so earnestly to the United Nations in November: But the failure-to-protect inherent in allowing police to abuse without culpability is happening again. And again. David Bitkower, given the nature of his position in the US government, would be fully aware of underground policies which may be de facto promoting police abuse by giving police free rein to abuse and/or murder US citizens, without culpability. His efforts to portray the situation in an entirely different light could therefore be seen as an act of deliberate and somewhat alarming propaganda. Janet C.

1	In an effort to curb rising deer populations nationwide, the U.S. Department of the Interior introduced a new federal program Monday that will provide free condoms to all of the countrys fawns. While were still pursuing a number of other methods to control the population, ensuring that condoms are available free of charge is an easy and effective way to reduce the risk of pregnancy for young deer, said Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, explaining that fawns can discreetly take as many condoms with spermicidal lubricant as they need from large bowls that have been placed near streams, meadows, and thickets. We are not just providing prophylactics throughout the forest for the benefit of bucks. This program also hopes to empower does by distributing emergency contraceptives in piles of soft twigs and lichen. According to sources, the program will be supplemented by circulating pamphlets that educate about the dangers of unprotected sex in areas where young deer tend to frolic. 
2	Liberals Are Attacking Phil Robertson After He Makes Epic Stand Against Gay Marriage Decision Phil Robertson has not been shy about vocalizing his opinions about Christianity as it relates to homosexuality. Now, liberals are speaking out against the Duck Dynasty star after he discussed Houstons equal rights ordinance during I Stand Sunday. His comments were made in response to a recent push for gender neutral restrooms. For all you ladies in Texas, trust me when I tell you this, when youre seated in your restroom putting on your Maybelline, when I need to take a leak Im not going there, Phil stated bluntly. America was not found by religionists but by ChristiansAmerica was not found on religion but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. What do you think of Robertsons comments? Watch the video below and share your thoughts with us. 
2	11 Year Old Boy, Our Country Was Founded On Jesus Christ Christian values are in the process of being demonized by President Obama and liberals alike. Spotting someone who is willing to stand up for their faith is becoming increasingly rare, especially when it comes to our youth. People seem to be forgetting that America was built on these values. Religious freedom is a right but it does not take away from the fact that our country was founded by Christians who had a specific vision for our country. Fortunately, 11-year-old Josiah Willis is speaking out to make sure that vision doesnt disappear. He inspired audiences throughout the Sunday Morning services at Bent Tree in Texas. Our country was founded on the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Josiah told the crowd. We eliminated God from the equation of American life. Thus, eliminating the reason this nation first began. From beyond the grave, I hear the voices of our founding fathers plead: You need God in America again. Watch the full video of Josiah below and tell us what you think. Does seeing children like Josiah give you hope for our youth? 
2	Obamas Government Caught Red Handed Planning For MASS U.S. Fatalities Well, youre never going to believe what the Obama Administration is plotting now. According to reports, bill HR 6566 was first introduced in the US House of Representatives under the title Mass Fatality Planning and Religious Considerations Act. Essentially, the document proposes that the Homeland Security Act of 2002 be amended. The result would be that FEMA could provide the U.S. with the planning of mass fatalities. The bill states that FEMA needs to be prepared to respond to mass fatalities in the U.S. at any given moment. It also claims that citizens need to prepare for religious burial differences for those who were born outside of the United States but are buried in America. The bill is absolutely ridiculous for a number of reasons, not the least of which being that FEMA could not even succeed in effectively assisting those impacted by Hurricane Katrina. What do you think of the proposal? 
2	White House In Panic Mode After Malia Obama Was Caught Doing Something UNTHINKABLE Malia Obama made headlines after attending Lollapalooza, a music event known to be highly populated with drug and alcohol use. Obama immediately received media attention for partying at the event, even though she was only sixteen at the time. Now, according to one Twitter user, she had some pretty interesting interactions with the First Daughter. I got (accidentally) kicked by Malia Obama today at Lollapalooza. No lie. Malia. Obama. It was awesome. #lollapalooza, Bridget Truskey shared on her account. Were not surprised by Malias accidental kick. After all, how many times have we seen her father disrespect Americans and then claim it was an accident? We are shocked, however, at Bridgets reaction to the whole thing. We dont understand why anyone would be so flattered by a kick in the butt by an Obama. What do you think of the tweet? 
1	More than six months after the approval of the Seattle SuperSonics' relocation to Oklahoma City, the metropolitan region's 1.3 million residents continue to eagerly await the arrival of the Thunder, their promised NBA team. 'We realize basketball season started back in October, but we're not worried. We have no problem waiting a little longer for our first real professional basketball team to arrive,' Mayor Mick Cornett said during an interview. 'I called Commissioner Stern a few months ago, but I haven't heard anything back yet. I assume the Thunder will be here any day now.' The mayor also noted that there is a team in town, or more precisely a basketball-themed comedy group, performing shows a few nights a week at the Ford Center, though their gimmick of the home team always losing becomes predictable after a while. 
2	BREAKING: House Republicans Make Major Stand For Jailed Marine, Directly Defy Obama It has been nearly six months since U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi was taking into custody by Mexican officials. Every step of the way since then, Americans have stood in support of the jailed Marine, urging the administration to take actions to protect him. President Obama, however, has stayed shockingly silent when it comes to the matter. While Americans have called for boycotts of Mexican products and travel, and demonstrations have broken out in the streets, the administration seems keen to sit back and watch to see what happens. Even some generals and lieutenants have called for decisive action for the government. And now, House Republicans have decided to take action where Obama refuses to. In an appearance on Fox News, Montel Williams and Representative Matt Salmon announced that a House subcommittee is working to gain insight into Tahmooressis situation. The actions that lead to his imprisonment are believed to have been entirely accidental, and the subcommittee hearing to plead his case is scheduled for October 1. The president has had ample opportunity to pick up the phone and call the president of Mexico, Salmon told Fox News. What do you think? Do you support the committee? Does Tahmooressi deserve protection from the government he serves? 
2	Obama Breaks Down After He Realizes He Is Going To Be Impeached Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl made headlines this week after it was reported that he is officially being charged with desertion for abandoning his post in Afghanistan in 2009. As the story goes, after deserting his post, Bergdahl was captured and held hostage by the Taliban. He likely would not have seen freedom, had President Barack Obama not made the highly controversial decision to release five senior Taliban terrorists from Guantanamo Bay. The deal outraged Americans, who instantly began demanding Obamas impeachment. Some even claimed that his actions could be considered aiding and abetting the enemy. Former Congressman and retired Lt. Col. Allen West took it upon himself to draft Articles of Impeachment in response to the action. He was supported by federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy, and a good portion of the public. There is no question that Obama bent the law in the release of the terrorists, and that he blatantly neglected to give Congress the required 30 days notice prior to the release. Now, it appears that the calls for impeachment are being renewed now that charges against Bergdahl have been confirmed. Essentially, the public is outraged that Obama risked Americas safety by releasing five deadly terrorists in exchange for a deserter. What do you think? Should Obama be impeached? 
2	BREAKING: Hillary Caught Calling Disabled Children, F*cking ReeHillary Clinton has done everything she can to brand herself as someone who can relate and understand minorities and those in need. Of course, that could not be former from the truth. Now, a former mistress of Bills is coming forward to tell the public just how far-fetched this claim is. In her tell-all book about the Clintons, former mistress Dolly Kyle claims that Hillary was overheard calling mentally challenged children f***ing retards and caught on camera blurting out the terms stupid k**e and f***ing Jew b*****d. Hillarys comments were reportedly made during a traditional Easter egg hunt on the grounds of the governors mansion during Bills tenure in Arkansas. The children were having trouble finding the eggs, and she lost her patience. Bill also allegedly referred to Reverend Jesse Jackson as a G*damned n****r. Will Clinton desperately tries to cling on to the minority vote, it is important for Americans to understand who she truly is. What do you think of these claims?

1	In the wake of the sex abuse scandal that rocked Penn State earlier this month, a coalition of 10-year-old boys from across the nation held a press conference Saturday outside Beaver Stadium, home of college football's Nittany Lions, to remind Americans that if they see someone raping a prepubescent boy, they should contact the police immediately. 'Considering that the monstrous acts perpetrated by Jerry Sandusky went unreported for years, even after a fellow coach saw him raping a 10-year-old boy inside the facility behind me, we feel perhaps not everyone is totally clear on what to do if one witnesses such a thing,' said spokesperson Joshua Pearson, who was flanked by several of his fifth-grade colleagues. 'Many of you will no doubt be relieved to know the proper course of action is really quite simple: Just contact the police. Call 911, go to your local precinct, stop an officer on the streetthe bottom line is, if you see one of us getting raped, notify the police, and do so as quickly as possible.' 'It doesn't matter who the boy being raped is, and it doesn't matter who is doing the raping, just please, please alert law enforcement,' Pearson added as the 10-year-old boys surrounding him nodded soberly. 'And by the way, under no circumstances is it ever okay for an adult to rape a 10-year-old boy, so you really can't go wrong by calling the police when something like that happens.' This man was spotted raping a 10-year-old boy on Mar. 1, 2002. So the police should have been called on Mar. 1, 2002. Understand? Pearson fielded several questions from reporters, such as whether it is okay, when one sees a boy being raped, to wait until after lunch before contacting police, or if it is acceptable to simply inform the rapist in a firm tone that what he is doing is wrong and then leave it at that. The 10-year-old confirmed neither course of action was adequate. Additionally, Pearson attempted to clear up any confusion as to whether an individual should contact the police even if he or she has been personally acquainted with the rapist for many years. 'We understand the delicacy of the situation when the person committing the rape is a coworker or otherwise someone you know quite well, but as 10-year-old boys with very few ways of protecting ourselves, we still have to insist that you go to the police,' Pearson said. 'While we appreciate your reporting such acts to a supervisor at work or a trusted clergy member, unfortunately that may not be enough, and it is not the most responsible course of action. As the sad events at Penn State have taught us, there is no way to guarantee the highly important boy-raping information will reach the proper authorities unless you deliver it yourself.' 'So, to reiterate: If you ever see a 10-year-old boy being rapedby anyone, at any time, even if it's a Sunday afternoonit is very, very important that you go directly to the police and clearly explain what you saw, remembering to identify the person who was doing the raping,' Pearson continued. According to Pearson, even if one merely suspects he or she has seen a 10-year-old boy being raped, but is not absolutely certain, it is still a good idea to play it safe and allow police investigators to sort out the situation. 'Wouldn't you be left with egg on your face if that little boy was actually being raped and you didn't tell the police!' said Pearson, drawing a big laugh from the gathered crowd. The nation's 10-year-olds unanimously echoed Pearson's sentiments, imploring people to contact police not only when they see prepubescent boys being raped, but, in fact, when they see anyone at all being raped, in any context. 'Certainly, if you were to see me being raped, I would want you to call the policeI'm a 10-year-old boy who couldn't possibly give my consent, or even fully grasp the horror of what was happening to me,' Sioux Falls, SD resident Nick Kealey, 10, said between games of Mario Kart DS. 'What's really at issue here is the act of rape itself. So, yes, if you see a 10-year-old boy like me being raped, by all means, call the police. But don't just walk on by if you see, say, a teenage girl being raped in a locker room, or even a full-grown man being raped in an alleyway. These are also situations in which you should definitely call the police, and right away.' 'Seeing any person get raped at any time, even just once, is more than enough reason to contact the police,' Kealey added. 'I can't stress that enough.' Following Saturday's announcement, police stations around the country reported a flood of incoming phone calls.

3	Life in a Post-Antibiotic AgeDoug McIntosh Antibiotics themselves are a new treatment first begun with the creation of Penicillin in the 1940s from bread mold. The theory of bacteria only dates back to Louis Pasteur and Joseph Lister in the 1860s. The concept of antiseptic technique, aseptic technique, is even newer. The simple idea of medical providers washing their hands; creating a sterile atmosphere is one of the great medicinal advances of all time. Aseptic technique has saved more lives than all the drugs and modern medical treatments combined. If you think back to an 1860 American Civil War scene, with filthy surgeon, unwashed hands, unwashed surgical tools, and a not germ-free operating room, you get my idea. Fortunately, whatever collapse comes our way we need not lose the knowledge of sterile techniques and medical practices. What we will lose is the ability to treat bacteria with antibiotics. We have lost that ability because we have over used them for things they were never intended for. We have fed them to our farm animals, and eaten our way into immunity in our bodies. The result of all that is we are now living in a post-antibiotic age. We must think and act since this is the new medical reality. We are now starting to die from bacterial infections that were easily treated a few years ago. We will have to eat garlic cloves when respiratory ailments strike us. We will have to crush garlic and use the paste to treat open sores and cuts. If we do not, we will die from blood poisoning. We will also have to eat a clove or two of garlic every day to maintain health. When Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931, they were stunned to find how healthy the people were. The reason people who had no access to modern health care, or a decent diet, were was they ate garlic cloves every day of their lives. Garlic may also play a role in why the French are in such good shape. We will have to mix Tabasco Sauce with water and drink it for sore throats. We will have to eat red peppers and avail ourselves of their healing properties. Yes, Virginia the hot part of hot peppers is lethal to bacteria and viruses. One of the most overused areas of antibiotic use is for childrens ear infections. We will have to learn how to dip a swab into rubbing alcohol and treat it that way. We will have to use rubbing alcohol to kill bacteria by physically drying them out. We will learn to do these things, or when the final antibiotic currently in use fails we will be left at the mercy of germs. We can use Listerine to sterilize things, for instance. Joseph Lister invented Listerine to be sprayed in operating rooms to sterilize them. We may very well end up being reduced to that. We can boil water to sterilize things. We can do all the things people did before antibiotics existed. We may very well have to abandon keeping people in hospital rooms that cannot be kept clean. The rise of MRSA bacteria in hospitals means that having a patient stay at home, and in a room that can be sterilized, will become the new norm. I will predict that in a short while mass treatment of people in hospitals will collapse under the weight of deadly and untreatable bacteria. Indeed, we may very soon see the day when certain medical buildings are completely abandoned because they are now permanently infected with lethal bacteria. And finally, we will have to rethink our concepts of current medicine and how it treats us. Modern western medicine treats either the symptoms, or the disease itself. We must learn what Eastern medicine has long known; namely, the body is the best medicine. We must relearn the concept that it is the body that heals us. We must relearn the concept that if we take care of the human body, it will take care of us. It is a matter of maintaining the natural defense systems built into the human body. You may think of it as water lapping against a dyke protecting lower ground. Western medicine concentrates on the water, but we must learn to keep our eyes on the dyke. I think the new medicine that will arise out of the ashes will be one of the holistic belief and treatment methods. It will understand the true point of medicine is to allow the body to keep us well. We will have learned medical wisdom is about keeping the body in peak defensive shape.

'Im not saying I need to be a regular, but theres stuff going on there pretty much every week that Id be perfect for,' said Angelou, adding that she was surprised last month when she was not invited to speak at 'A Celebration of American Poetry, Past and Present,' which she described as an event that was 'so obviously in [her] wheelhouse.' 'I would have been more than happy to write a poem for, say, a Womens History Month event featuring the first lady, but March went by and no ones aide or secretary ever callednot once.

2	Top Democrat Does Something Sickening During The Pledge Of Allegiance This month, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick turned his back on America when he refused to stand for the national anthem. In the fact of criticism, Kaepernick stood behind his actions, claiming he refused to, stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. In the following weeks, Kaepernicks protest has spread throughout the country. Now, it appears that some politicians are even taking part in it. Reports indicate that Top Missouri Democrat State Senator Jamilah Nasheed sat during the Pledge of Allegiance on Wednesday to show her solidarity with the football player and his message. She had previously announced her intentions to do so. There is no question of the senators right to remain seating during the Pledge, but its a question of the propriety of her action, Missouri Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder later commented. I worry about the example she is setting, particularly for our young people. I believe our best hope for tackling the tough issues of racial unity and economic opportunity is through the shared commitment to the principles and ideals that make America great. Nasheed later took to Twitter to explain herself, but ended up sparking even more debate on the issue. Jamilah Nasheed (@SenatorNasheed) September 13, 2016

Well, I like him, Trump responded. He likes me. Stranger things have happened, that I can tell you. But its too early to think about that. Were not as different as people think, Trump concluded. But there is certainly a different style. You know, I have great assets and he has some great assets. What do you think? Would you support a Trump/Carson ticket in 2016?

Trump greeted three year old Andrew Ten, his parents, and three nurses at the airport. He had his made his plane available to them to use on a special medical trip to New York. This had a huge impact on the family, given that commercial airlines had refused to fly the child. Mr. Trump did not hesitate when we called him up, Harold Ten told reporters. He said yes, Ill send my plane out. When Harold was asked why he thought Trump had gone above and beyond, Ten replied, Because he is a good man. He has three children of his own and he knows what being a parent is all about. What do you think? Do you support Trump?

Conservative Tribune reports that Bret Baier, Chris Wallace and Megyn Kelly have been chosen as debate moderators for January 28, 2016. The decision is being met with mixed review, especially given the feud between Kelly and frontrunner Donald Trump during the first debate in August. Kelly was viewed as breaking her role and directly targeting Trump. You could see there was blood coming out of her eyesblood coming out of her, wherever, Trump commented, following the debate. They didnt ask those questions of everybody else, he continued, regarding Kellys questions about sexism. Those werent even questions. They were statements.

3	Home Grown HumanityJesse Gendron The question gave me pause because it had become an invariable expectation to encounter those attached to the ball and chain of the corporate world who would of course look down on anyone not suffering among them misery loves company. You are somehow repugnant to them if you show justifiable fear of the clutches of their world. To be reminded by an external source that you have made the right decision can be a relief, as world events should make abundantly clear soon enough. We (as in society) make it too easy for those trying to control the majority of the population. For the most part we already control each other. We attempt to make small changes in our lives to constructively avert control, and the controllers need not do anything that our peers wont execute more promptly for them. The troublemaker is expelled from urban/suburban society and he then keeps himself under self-imposed control. If I tell the neighborhood that theyre all being lied to and are in grave danger, I wont be invited to Jims barbecue. This poor mind decides never to wake up entirely and take appropriate action for the reason of trivia such as What will the neighbors think? I have made a series of decisions that have cost me my ability to participate in so-called normal society. I cant drive on your roads, I cant work for your corporations, I cant beg your government for money. Its all been worth refusing to comply with murderers. This will be read by some who will use the term unpatriotic another of those pokes and prods we use to govern each other and I want to ask those people if they are aware that even a chicken knows that its better outside the coop? The unfortunate suburbanite lacks this same quality. They feel safer behind concrete and steel, become uneasy and sometimes frightened when made to think about working towards survival on its own merit. Many of them speak of a desire to evolve to what they sugar-coat as sustainability, but when faced with the assignment to get access to land outside of cities, design an electrical system, build houses, start a garden, etc., their motivation comes to a screeching halt. Its sad, but Ive seen this so many times. It doesnt take long before theyre back to soccer-town USA, back to the apartment scene and shitty jobs as long as those are still available. This whole group, this American public that have collectively watched the global structure crumble piece by piece and have been compelled to do nothing until it affected their own beer and Mountain Dew, suddenly strap on the Guy Fawkes mask, swinging teabags. When our leaders send men and women to die while murdering others, we say nothing. When our leaders murdered 3,000 of us, few of us could accept even the truth behind that, and now that their madness has hit home and our pocketbooks we find it compelling to do something. So we address our displeasure to the puppets of the elite still only because we are now personally affected these incoherent grunts, in an attempt to restore the system of control that has bound them all these years, all these centuries. Rebellion and the spirit of anarchy is strong in many of us but is too often manipulated. We do things for the passion to defy the true criminals binding us to this world of tyranny and madness, but the excuse to continue to comply is inevitable. We can do more damage in the system than we can from outside of it, and then we continue to vote for politicians. Some of us become politicians and the loop continues in the end no damage is done, no people are made more free, no point made, no point taken, no change made without sacrificing something were not willing to give up Status Quo. So, yes, I know how lucky I am that I have never been vaccinated. Nor have I drunk lots of fluoride, nor have I submitted out of fear to something that Ive known to be inherently wrong.

1	Pentagon officials announced Tuesday a new policy toward homosexuals in the armed services, the so-called 'Don't Tell, Let Me Guess' system, which gives Pentagon brass the opportunity to state their opinion on a soldier's sexual orientation, provided it's followed by the phrase 'Am I right?' 'These new guidelines allow homosexuals to serve in the armed forces, as long as they don't show any outward traits that would tip us off and ruin all the fun of guessing,' said Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who purports to have 'excellent' gaydar. 'When you make a game out of it, you're much more invested in the survival of your fellow servicemanat least until you guess whether or not he or she enjoys sex with members of the same gender.' Pentagon officials said soldiers who are correctly guessed to be homosexual will face immediate dishonorable discharge, unless they can prove they have killed at least 10 enemy combatants in a particularly brutal fashion. 
2	This Christian Woman Is Blessed With Identical Quadruplets, What They Look Like Now.WOW Having one kid is a full time job for most people. A child is a blessing and a curse (in the most loving sense possible). Your child becomes your everything the moment he or she is born. They are the love of your life and you can never imagine life without them. This is how I feel about my child and I am sure it is the way most people feel. When I had my child I planned for him. My husband and I prepared months before conception and we were ready when he was born. We had everything set up when he arrived in this world. If I were to get the surprise that this 42 year old got, I dont know how Id react. Kimberly Fugate was 41 when she went into labor. She was 28 weeks pregnant and was expecting to give birth to 3 beautiful babies. The pregnancy came as a huge surprise to her and her husband. They did not use IVF and it was really a miracle conception. Kimberley got through 3 babies when suddenly the doctors said that there were more feet. She then gave birth to her 4th baby. All 4 girls were identical twins and this surprised everyone. The couple already had a 10-year-old daughter when they gave birth to the quadruplets. The odds of having random quadruplets are about 1 in 800,000. The odds of all 4 quadruplets being identical are 1 in 13,000,000. Those odds are unbelievable! It is a true miracle that everything went smoothly and Kimberly says she couldnt imagine her life without her babies. The couple has adjusted to the workload, but they love their lives every single day. The family are amazing Christians and say that they are blessed by God to be given the opportunity to raise 4 beautiful girls. They love them dearly. 
3	100 Reasons Why Janet Yellen Should Be Freaking Out About Audit the FedMichael Snyder During testimony before Congress on Tuesday, she made central bank independence sound like it was the holy grail. Even though every other government function is debated politically in this country, Yellen insists that what the Federal Reserve does is too important to be influenced by the American people. Does any other government agency ever dare to make that claim? But of course the Federal Reserve is not a government agency. It is a private banking cartel that has far more power over our money and our economy than anyone else does. And later on in this article I am going to share with you dozens of reasons why Congress should shut it down. The immense power wielded by the Federal Reserve is clearly demonstrated whenever Janet Yellen speaks publicly. On Tuesday, her comments about interest rates sent stocksto brand new record highs Yellen, in her semi-annual testimony before the Senate banking committee, used a word familiar to investors when she reiterated that the central bank will be patient on raising interest rates for the first time since the 2008 financial crisis. Traders took that as a sign that interest rates would remain unchanged until autumn. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 92.35 points (0.5%) to 18,209.19, while the Standard Poors 500 gained 5.82 points (0.3%) to 2,115.48, both eclipsing Fridays record closes. But Yellen was also unusually defensive on Tuesday. The Audit the Fed bill that is being sponsored by Rand Paul (among others) has her really freaked out. The following comes fromthe Hill Appearing before the Senate Banking Committee, Yellen was on the defensive, as Republicans questioned how the Fed conducts monetary policy and Democrats put forward ideas for getting tougher on Wall Street. In the midst of all of it, Yellen generally argued the Fed was designed as an independent entity for a reason and it would be best not to change it. Central bank independence in conducting monetary policy is considered a best practice for central banks around the world, she said. Academic studies, I think, establish beyond the shadow of a doubt that independent central banks perform better. In fact, she went so far as to mention the Audit the Fed billby name A GOP-controlled Congress has given the bill its best chances yet of passage, and that renewed interest led Yellen to deliver her most spirited opposition yet. I want to be completely clear, she said. I strongly oppose Audit the Fed. Yellen argued the audit measure would allow politicians to second-guess the Feds decisions, which, in turn, would weaken the central bank. And the ultimate victim of that process, she said, would be the U.S. economy. So what is she so concerned about? We are all accountable to someone. What is so wrong about the Federal Reserve being accountable to Congress? Why cant we find out what is really going on inside the Fed? And of course it isnt just Yellen that is freaking out. Just consider these commentsfrom Richard Fisher, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas It is always politically convenient to make something sound mysterious, if not malevolent, by claiming it is opaque, Fisher said in a speech to the Economic Club of New York that is part of an effort by Fed officials to fight the legislation. My suspicion is that many of those in Congress calling for auditing the Fed are really sheep in wolves clothing, he said. Having proven themselves unable to cobble together with colleagues a working fiscal policy or to construct a regulatory regime that incentivizes rather than discourages investment and job creation in other words, failed at their own job they simply find it convenient to create a bogeyman out of an entity that does its job efficiently. Obviously this is a very, very touchy subject over at the Fed. It is quite clear that they do not want the rest of us to be able to see what they are really up to. And the truth is that if the American people really did know how the Federal Reserve works and what it has been doing behind closed doors, most Americans would want it shut down tomorrow. At the end of the day, the reality of the matter is that we dont even need a Federal Reserve. I really like howDavid Stockman made this point the other day At the end of the day, American capitalism does not need recycled political hacks like Jerome H. Powell or clueless school marms like Janet Yellen to thrive. If we need a Fed at all, it is the one designed by Carter Glass 100 years ago.That is, a bankers bank that was intended to provide standby liquidity at a penalty spreadabove the free market interest rate in consideration for good collateral originating from inventory and receivables in the real economy. Under that arrangement, there would be no monetary central planning or pointless attempts to manage the level of GDP, the number of new jobs, the rate of housing starts, the fluctuations of the CPI or theamplitudes of the business cycle.There would alsobe no pegging of the money market rate, no helping hand for Wall Street gamblers, no cheap debt to enable profligate politicians to kick-the-can down the road indefinitely. In short, what the nation really needs is not an independent Fed, but one that is shackled to a narrow and market-driven liquidity function. The rest of its currentremit is nothing more than the self-serving aggrandizement of the apparatchiks who run it; and who have nowmanaged to turn the nations vital money and capital markets into dangerous, unstable casinos, and the nations savers into indentured servants ofa bloated and wasteful bankingsystem. The Federal Reserve has been around for just over a hundred years, and it has done an absolutely abysmal job for the American people. I want to share with you some facts and figures that I have shared before, but they bear repeating. Please share this list of 100 reasons why the Federal Reserve should be shut down with everyone that you know #1 We like to think that we have a government of the people, by the people, for the people, but the truth is that an unelected, unaccountable group of central planners has far more power over our economy than anyone else in our society does. #2 The Federal Reserve is actually independent of the government. In fact, the Federal Reserve has argued vehemently in federal court that it is not an agency of the federal government and therefore not subject to the Freedom of Information Act. #3 The Federal Reserve openly admits that the 12 regional Federal Reserve banks are organized much like private corporations. #4 The regional Federal Reserve banks issue shares of stock to the member banks that own them. #5 100% of the shareholders of the Federal Reserve are private banks. The U.S. government owns zero shares. #6 The Federal Reserve is not an agency of the federal government, but it has been given power to regulate our banks and financial institutions. This should not be happening. #7 According to Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. Congress is the one that 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 is the Federal Reserve doing it? #8 If you look at a U.S. dollar, it actually says Federal Reserve note at the top. In the financial world, a note is an instrument of debt. #9 In 1963, President John F. Kennedy issued Executive Order 11110 which authorized the U.S. Treasury to issue United States notes which were created by the U.S. government directly and not by the Federal Reserve. He was assassinated shortly thereafter. #10 Many of the debt-free United States notes issued under President Kennedy are still in circulation today. #11 The Federal Reserve determines what levels some of the most important interest rates in our system are going to be set at. In a free market system, the free market would determine those interest rates. #12 The Federal Reserve has become so powerful that it is now known as the fourth branch of government. #13 The greatest period of economic growth in U.S. history was when there was no central bank. #14 The Federal Reserve was designed to be a perpetual debt machine. The bankers that designed it intended to trap the U.S. government in a perpetual debt spiral from which it could never possibly escape. Since the Federal Reserve was established 100 years ago, the U.S. national debt has gotten more than 5000 times larger. #15 A permanent federal income tax was established the exact same year that the Federal Reserve was created. This was not a coincidence. In order to pay for all of the government debt that the Federal Reserve would create, a federal income tax was necessary. The whole idea was to transfer wealth from our pockets to the federal government and from the federal government to the bankers. #16 The period prior to 1913 (when there was no income tax) was the greatest period of economic growth in U.S. history. #17 Today, the U.S. tax code is about 13 miles long. #18 From the time that the Federal Reserve was created until now, the U.S. dollar has lost 98 percent of its value. #19 From the time that President Nixon took us off the gold standard until now, the U.S. dollar has lost 83 percent of its value. #20 During the 100 years before the Federal Reserve was created, the U.S. economy rarely had any problems with inflation. But since the Federal Reserve was established, the U.S. economy has experienced constant and never ending inflation. #21 In the century before the Federal Reserve was created, the average annual rate of inflation was about half a percent. In the century since the Federal Reserve was created, the average annual rate of inflation has been about 3.5 percent. #22 The Federal Reserve has stripped the middle class of trillions of dollars of wealth through the hidden tax of inflation. #23 The size of M1 has nearly doubled since 2008 thanks to the reckless money printing that the Federal Reserve has been doing. #24 The Federal Reserve has been starting to behave like the Weimar Republic, and we all remember how that ended. #25 The Federal Reserve has been consistently lying to us about the level of inflation in our economy. If the inflation rate was still calculated the same way that it was back when Jimmy Carter was president, the official rate of inflation would be somewhere between 8 and 10 percent today. #26 Since the Federal Reserve was created, there have been 18 distinct recessions or depressions: 1918, 1920, 1923, 1926, 1929, 1937, 1945, 1949, 1953, 1958, 1960, 1969, 1973, 1980, 1981, 1990, 2001, 2008. #27 Within 20 years of the creation of the Federal Reserve, the U.S. economy was plunged into the Great Depression. #28 The Federal Reserve created the conditions that caused the stock market crash of 1929, and even Ben Bernanke admits that the response by the Fed to that crisis made the Great Depression even worse than it should have been. #29 The easy money policies of former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan set the stage for the great financial crisis of 2008. #30 Without the Federal Reserve, the subprime mortgage meltdown would probably never have happened. #31 If you can believe it, there have been 10 different economic recessions since 1950. The Federal Reserve created the dotcom bubble, the Federal Reserve created the housing bubble and now it has created the largest bond bubble in the history of the planet. #32 According to an official government report, the Federal Reserve made 16.1 trillion dollars in secret loans to the big banks during the last financial crisis. The following is a list of loan recipients that was taken directly from page 131 of the report Citigroup $2.513 trillion #33 The Federal Reserve also paid those big banks $659.4 million in fees to help administer those secret loans. #34 During the last financial crisis, big European banks were allowed to borrow an unlimited amount of money from the Federal Reserve at ultra-low interest rates. #35 The easy money policies of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke have created the largest financial bubble this nation has ever seen, and this has set the stage for the great financial crisis that we are rapidly approaching. #36 Since late 2008, the size of the Federal Reserve balance sheet has grown from less than a trillion dollars to more than 4 trillion dollars. This is complete and utter insanity. #37 During the quantitative easing era, the value of the financial securities that the Fed has accumulated is greater than the total amount of publicly held debt that the U.S. government accumulatedfrom the presidency of George Washington through the end of the presidency of Bill Clinton. #38 Overall, the Federal Reserve now holds more than 32 percent of all 10 year equivalents. #39 Quantitative easing creates financial bubbles, and when quantitative easing ends those bubbles tend to deflate rapidly. #40 Most of the new money created by quantitative easing has ended up in the hands of the very wealthy. #41 According to a prominent Federal Reserve insider, quantitative easing has been one giant subsidy for Wall Street banks. #42 As one CNBC article stated, we are seeing absolutely rampant inflation in stocks and bonds and art and Ferraris. #43 Donald Trump once made the following statement about quantitative easing: People like me will benefit from this. #44 Most people have never heard about this, but a very interesting study conducted for the Bank of England shows that quantitative easing actually increases the gap between the wealthy and the poor. #45 The gap between the top one percent and the rest of the country is now the greatest that it has been since the 1920s. #46 The mainstream media has sold quantitative easing to the American public as an economic stimulus program, but the truth is that the percentage of Americans that have a job has actually gone down since quantitative easing first began. #47 The Federal Reserve is supposed to be able to guide the nation toward full employment, but the reality of the matter is that an all-time record102 million working age Americans do not have a job right now. That number has risen by about 27 million since the year 2000. #48 For years, the projections of economic growth by the Federal Reserve have consistently overstated the strength of the U.S. economy. But every single time, the mainstream media continues to report that these numbers are reliable even though all they actually represent is wishful thinking. #49 The Federal Reserve system fuels the growth of government, and the growth of government fuels the growth of the Federal Reserve system. Since 1970, federal spending has grown nearly 12 times as rapidly as median household income has. #50 The Federal Reserve is supposed to look out for the health of all U.S. banks, but the truth is that they only seem to be concerned about the big ones. In 1985, there were more than 18,000 banks in the United States. Today, there are only 6,891 left. #51 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. #52 The U.S. banking system has 14.4 trillion dollars in total assets. The six largest banks now account for 67 percent of those assets and all of the other banks account for only 33 percent of those assets. #53 The five largest banks now account for 42 percent of all loans in the United States. #54 We were told that the purpose of quantitative easing is to help stimulate the economy, but today the Federal Reserve is actually paying the big banks not to lend out 1.8 trillion dollars in excess reserves that they have parked at the Fed. #55 The Federal Reserve has allowed an absolutely gigantic derivatives bubble to inflate which could destroy our financial system at any moment. 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. #56 The total exposure that Goldman Sachs has to derivatives contracts is more than 381 times greater than their total assets. #57 Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has a track record of failure that would make the Chicago Cubs look good. #58 The secret November 1910 gathering at Jekyll Island, Georgia during which the plan for the Federal Reserve was hatched was attended by U.S. Senator Nelson W. Aldrich, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Department A.P. Andrews and a whole host of representatives from the upper crust of the Wall Street banking establishment. #59 The Federal Reserve was created by the big Wall Street banks and for the benefit of the big Wall Street banks. #60 In 1913, Congress was promised that if the Federal Reserve Act was passed that it would eliminate the business cycle. #61 There has never been a true comprehensive audit of the Federal Reserve since it was created backin 1913. #62 The Federal Reserve system has been described as the biggest Ponzi scheme in the history of the world. #63 The following comes directly from the Feds official mission statement: To provide the nation with a safer, more flexible, and more stable monetary and financial system. Without a doubt, the Federal Reserve has failed in those tasks dramatically. #64 The Fed decides what the target rate of inflation should be, what the target rate of unemployment should be and what the size of the money supply is going to be. This is quite similar to the central planning that goes on in communist nations, but very few people in our government seem upset by this. #65 A couple of years ago, Federal Reserve officials walked into one bank in Oklahoma and demanded that they take down all the Bible verses and all the Christmas buttons that the bank had been displaying. #66 The Federal Reserve has taken some other very frightening steps in recent years. For example, back in 2011 the Federal Reserve announced plans to identify key bloggers and to monitor billions of conversations about the Fed on Facebook, Twitter, forums and blogs. Someone at the Fed will almost certainly end up reading this article. #67 Thanks to this endless debt spiral that we are trapped in, a massive amount of money is transferred out of our pockets and into the pockets of the ultra-wealthy each year. Incredibly, the U.S. government spent more than 415 billion dollars just on interest on the national debt in 2013. #68 In January 2000, the average rate of interest on the governments marketable debt was 6.620 percent. If we got back to that level today, we would be paying more than a trillion dollars a year just in interest on the national debt and it would collapse our entire financial system. #69 The American people are being killed by compound interest but most of them dont even understand what it is. Albert Einstein once made the following statement about compound interest Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it he who doesnt pays it. #70 Most Americans have absolutely no idea where money comes from. The truth is that the Federal Reserve just creates it out of thin air. The following is how I have previously described how money is normally created by the Fed in our system 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. #71 What does the Federal Reserve do with those U.S. Treasury bonds? They end up getting auctioned off to the highest bidder. But this entire process actually creates more debt than it does money 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. 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 understood that 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. #72 Of course the U.S. government could actually create money and spend it directly into the economy without the Federal Reserve being involved at all. But then we wouldnt be 17 trillion dollars in debt and that wouldnt serve the interests of the bankers at all. #73 The following is what Thomas Edison once had to say about our absolutely insane debt-based financial system That is to say, under the old way any time we wish to add to the national wealth we are compelled to add to the national debt. Now, that is what Henry Ford wants to prevent. He thinks it is stupid, and so do I, that for the loan of $30,000,000 of their own money the people of the United States should be compelled to pay $66,000,000 that is what it amounts to, with interest. People who will not turn a shovelful of dirt nor contribute a pound of material will collect more money from the United States than will the people who supply the material and do the work. That is the terrible thing about interest. In all our great bond issues the interest is always greater than the principal. All of the great public works cost more than twice the actual cost, on that account. Under the present system of doing business we simply add 120 to 150 per cent, to the stated cost. But here is the point: If our nation can issue a dollar bond, it can issue a dollar bill. The element that makes the bond good makes the bill good. #74 The United States now has the largest national debt in the history of the world, and we are stealing roughly 100 million dollars from our children and our grandchildren every single hour of every single day in a desperate attempt to keep the debt spiral going. #75 Thomas Jefferson once stated 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. #76 At this moment, the U.S. national debt is sitting at $18,141,409,083,212.36. If we had followed the advice of Thomas Jefferson, it would be sitting at zero. #77 When the Federal Reserve was first established, the U.S. national debt was sitting at about 2.9 billion dollars. On average, we have been adding more than that to the national debt every single day since Obama has been in the White House. #78 We are on pace to accumulate more new debt under the 8 years of the Obama administration than we did under all of the other presidents in all of U.S. history combined. #79 If all of the new debt that has been accumulated since John Boehner became Speaker of the House had been given directly to the American people instead, every household in America would have been able to buy a new truck. #80 Between 2008 and 2012, U.S. government debt grew by 60.7 percent, but U.S. GDP only grew by a total of about 8.5 percent during that entire time period. #81 Since 2007, the U.S. debt to GDP ratio has increased from 66.6 percent to 101.6 percent. #82 According to the U.S. Treasury, foreigners hold approximately 5.6 trillion dollars of our debt. #83 The amount of U.S. government debt held by foreigners is about 5 times larger than it was just a decade ago. #84 As I have written about previously, if the U.S. national debt was reduced to a stack of one dollar bills it would circle the earth at the equator 45 times. #85 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. #86 Sometimes we forget just how much money a trillion dollars is. 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. #87 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. #88 In addition to all of our debt, the U.S. government has also accumulated more than 200 trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities. So where in the world will all of that money come from? #89 The greatest damage that quantitative easing has been causing to our economy is the fact that it is destroying worldwide faith in the U.S. dollar and in U.S. debt. If the rest of the world stops using our dollars and stops buying our debt, we are going to be in a massive amount of trouble. #90 Over the past several years, the Federal Reserve has been monetizing a staggering amount of U.S. government debt even though Ben Bernanke once promised that he would never do this. #91 China recently announced that they are going to quit stockpiling more U.S. dollars. If the Federal Reserve was not recklessly printing money, this would probably not have happened. #92 Most Americans have no idea that one of our most famous presidents was absolutely obsessed with getting rid of central banking in the United States. The following is a February 1834 quote by President Andrew Jackson about the evils of central banking I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States. I have had men watching you for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the Bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the Bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out and, by the Eternal, (bringing his fist down on the table) I will rout you out. #93 There are plenty of possible alternative financial systems, but at this point all 187 nations that belong to the IMF have a central bank. Are we supposed to believe that this is just some sort of a bizarre coincidence? #94 The capstone of the global central banking system is an organization known as the Bank for International Settlements. The following is how I described this organization in a previous article An immensely powerful international organization that most people have never even heard of secretly controls the money supply of the entire globe. It is called the Bank for International Settlements, and it is the central bank of central banks. It is located in Basel, Switzerland, but it also has branches in Hong Kong and Mexico City. It is essentially an unelected, unaccountable central bank of the world that has complete immunity from taxation and from national laws. Even Wikipedia admits that it is not accountable to any single national government. The Bank for International Settlements was used to launder money for the Nazis during World War II, but these days the main purpose of the BIS is to guide and direct the centrally-planned global financial system. Today, 58 global central banks belong to the BIS, and it has far more power over how the U.S. economy (or any other economy for that matter) will perform over the course of the next year than any politician does. Every two months, the central bankers of the world gather in Basel for another Global Economy Meeting. During those meetings, decisions are made which affect every man, woman and child on the planet, and yet none of us have any say in what goes on. The Bank for International Settlements is an organization that was founded by the global elite and it operates for the benefit of the global elite, and it is intended to be one of the key cornerstones of the emerging one world economic system. #95 The borrower is the servant of the lender, and the Federal Reserve has turned all of us into debt slaves. #96 Debt is a form of social control, and the global elite use all of this debt to dominate all the rest of us. 40 years ago, the total amount of debt in our system (all government debt, all business debt, all consumer debt, etc.) was sitting at about 2 trillion dollars. Today, the grand total exceeds 56 trillion dollars. #97 Unless something dramatic is done, our children and our grandchildren will be debt slaves for their entire lives as they service our debts and pay for our mistakes. #98 Now that you know this information, you are responsible for doing something about it. #99 Congress has the power to shut down the Federal Reserve any time that it would like. But right now most of our politicians fully endorse the current system, and nothing is ever going to happen until the American people start demanding change. #100 The design of the Federal Reserve system was flawed from the very beginning. If something is not done very rapidly, it is inevitable that our entire financial system is going to suffer an absolutely nightmarish collapse. This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

1	After nearly three decades in exile, King William IV returned to the U.S. to reclaim his throne Monday. King William IV greets his subjects upon his return to Washington. 'Good people of America,' said the newly restored monarch, speaking from a White House balcony. 'Let the word be spread throughout the land that your king has returned.' 'Prepare a feast!' added His Majesty amid a fanfare of trumpets. Citizens were overjoyed by the monarchic restoration. 'Huzzah!' said Diane Sowell of State College, PA. 'At long last, we are rid of that corrupt, antiquated system of government known as democracy, a system that has done nothing but maintain the status quo of political inequality, economic stagnation, and social injustice. Our good king will change all that.' Overthrown in 1973 by democratic extremists, King William fled to the Mediterranean island of Malta, where he had lived for the past 29 years. Throughout his time in exile, the king closely monitored the political climate in America, waiting for the right moment to return. When word of the Sept. 11 attacks reached him, he decided he could wait no longer. Assembling a small traveling party, he set sail across the Atlantic to reclaim his throne. On Aug. 20, following a months-long, detour-filled odyssey over land and sea, the king and his traveling companions arrived at Annapolis, MD, where he revealed his true identity to a naval detachment and persuaded it to accompany him to Washington. As the royal entourage neared the capital, word spread that the long-deposed monarch was on his way back. By the time William reached the D.C. city limits Monday, an estimated 400,000 elated supporters had amassed along the banks of the Potomac River to show their support for the bloodless coup. 'My devoted subjects, the time has come to right a great wrong so many years old,' the sovereign told the cheering crowd. 'Scores remain to be settled and, in time, all will receive their due. But for now, let the word go forth that your king is come.' Marching up the National Mall flanked by a 2,500-unit regiment of loyalist troops, King William entered the National Archives, where he smashed a display case with his wooden staff and retook the crown, scepter, and red-white-and-blue ermine robes of his office. The king then stormed into the Capitol building, the former site of the Royal Aviary, and announced his return, formally dissolving Congress by royal decree. He ordered all legislators to return to their homes, with the exception of Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-SC), whom the king locked in the royal dungeon for his role in the 1973 ouster. According to a spokesman for King William, the 50 state governors will be permitted to retain their posts under the revised title of Lord until further notice from the Crown. President Bush will also be allowed to retain his title, though he will function in a figurehead capacity with no real power. Buoyed by the news of the restored constitutional monarchy, the Dow Jones soared past 14,000 Monday. Minutes after the closing bell, however, the resurrected Ministry of Finance closed down the stock market, announcing that the generosity of the Royal Treasury will provide for all. Beltway pundits see the restoration as a welcome development. 'Under democracy, millions of needy Americans slipped through the cracks,' McLaughlin Group commentator Eleanor Clift said. 'King William will, by God's grace, see all monies fairly distributed, and the truly deserving will be helped.' Chris Matthews, host of MSNBC's Hardball, applauded the king's return but questioned some of his policies. 'As much as I support welfare reform,' Matthews said, 'replacing it with a nationwide network of debtor's prisons, as His Majesty plans, strikes me as a little extreme. Still, it can't be much worse than what we've had.' 'Our nation is whole once more,' said King William, speaking from his horse-drawn carriage during a procession down Pennsylvania Avenue. 'God save the king of these good United States of America.'

3	Mini Dictatorships Form as Creeping Fascism Takes HoldBrandon Turbeville In all honesty, when one wishes to begin a conversation regarding Fascist elements in the United States, it would be hard to know where to start, given the developments that have accelerated since 9/11, each Presidential election, and, indeed, every passing year. Yet, while many Americans, brainwashed by years of television and intellectual obsolescence, expect Fascism to rush in riding waves of tanks, parading soldiers, and dictators on megaphones, the fact is that Fascism has arrived in a slightly less advertised form. However, while it may not have arrived in the United States in the way that Americans believed it might, there are at least two developments that have indeed followed the traditional track of the Fascism that emerged in Europe during the 1930s. One of these forms was recently detailed by Susanne Posel of Occupy Corporatism in her article DHS Are Militarizing Local Police to Create Federalized Law Enforcement Agencies, where she discusses the ongoing agenda of consolidating and merging local and state police forces into one all-encompassing national police force structure. In this regard, much of the consolidation agenda is being accomplished by virtue of private security firms, a topic which I have been forced to cover for similar reasons in the past. Utah is by no means the only state with a private police force problem. States such as Florida, Minnesota, California, Louisiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Arizona, and Massachusetts, have either replaced or attempted to replace local police departments with private security firms in at least some capacity over the last two decades. Many may remember the case of Hardin, Montana which was essentially occupied by American Police Force, a private security firm that paraded itself around town as Hardins police force in 2009. In 2012, Delaware introduced legislation that would have removed the power of the Sheriff and stripped the deputies and Sheriff Departments of their arrest powers. Thankfully, H.B. 290 was not passed. Likewise, a move was made in Kershaw County, South Carolina to remove power from the county Sheriff and create a countywide police force which was not directly accountable to the citizens. Ironically, because this move required approval from Kershaw County voters, Sheriff Jim Matthews and his position were saved by the very activists whom he labeled domestic extremists only months prior. Clearly, these activists were more adept at perceiving danger where it actually exists than the Sheriff himself. Nevertheless, Horry County, South Carolina has already created a countywide police force. It should be noted, however, that the Horry County version exists (and has existed for at least 50 years) alongside the Horry County Sherriffs office so the consolidation that has taken place in Salt Lake has not yet been fully realized in Horry. Yet consolidation of traditional law enforcement agencies into an organization that no longer has elected officials as the head of operations is not a situation that exists only in the states mentioned above. Denver County, Colorado, for instance, maintains the Denver County Police Department, with the Sheriffs Department assuming responsibility over mere care, custody, and transport of prisoners and detainees. Indeed, one need only search the Web to find numerous cases of police departments and Sheriffs offices that have been merged together to effectively remove the power of the electorate (for what it is worth) and enable larger-scale ramifications in the event that the County police department is privatized. Of course, in reality it is obvious that the privatization of police forces has its roots in a much more sinister agenda than mere corporate greed and a desire to escape accountability. For instance, in early 2012, a document was released by the Aspen Institute Homeland Security Group, an organization closely tied to the Department of Homeland Security and co-chaired by former DHS chief Michael Chertoff, entitled, Homeland Security and Intelligence: Next Steps in Evolving the Mission, which states the desire of DHS and its related federal police state agencies to consume and centralize control over state and local law enforcement agencies as well as to infiltrate and co-opt the private sector. The report reads, This new approach to intelligence serving local partners requirements, providing intelligence in areas (such as infrastructure) not previously served by intelligence agencies, and disseminating information by new means reflects a transition in how Americans perceive national security. For this reason, state/local agencies, as clients for DHS intelligence, should also be involved in the development of requirements for what kinds of intelligence on emerging threats would be most helpful, from changing tactics for smuggling aliens into the United States to how to understand overseas terrorist incidents and translate them into analysis for the US. Similarly, different private sectors in the United States, from the hospitality industry to Indeed, one can easily see the agenda coming into view by virtue of the emergence of fusion centers infiltrating state and local law enforcement agencies all across the country, only furthering the federalization of police. Without a doubt, the privatization of police forces is only one method of converting local and state law enforcement agencies to federally-controlled DHS public management organizations that are themselves interchangeable to the point of being one and the same as the U.S. military. The evisceration of the rule of law (except for the force of law aimed at keeping the little people in check) is indeed one of the hallmarks of Fascism. But, while this may be seen in the privatization of police forces, nowhere is it more obvious than in the context of the Emergency Manager dictatorship being established in Michigan. In what can easily be described as an openly Fascist law, Michigans Emergency Financial Management Law which was passed in March, 2011, essentially gives the Governor the authority to take over local governments and municipalities and appoint his own directors in place of elected leaders. Although the concept of an Emergency Manager is not entirely new since Michigan has had a form of the Emergency Manager in place since around 1988 by virtue of a law which was passed and signed by then Governor James Blanchard, a Democrat, Republican Governor Rick Snyder has taken full advantage of both the Emergency Manager concept and the new powers of the Financial Management Law. It should also be noted that Emergency Managers have since been utilized by both Democrat and Republican administrations. Emergency Managers are those individuals who are appointed by the Governor when the Governor judges a city or other municipalitys budget deficit to be in default, bankrupt, or otherwise irreparable. The Emergency Manager, as William Copeland of Dominion of New York writes, has the absolute power to disincorporate the city, sell its assets, remove its elected leaders, privatize or eliminate services, and break union contracts, among other measures. The vast majority of Copelands claims are not only proven accurate by the history of the Emergency Manager system, they are admitted by the Michigan State Government itself. The only disagreement held by the State Government with criticism such as Copelands is the manner in which the Fascist method of Government is presented to the public. One of the reasons why the term Fascist is appropriate here is the method of application. The EM (Emergency Manager) program is obviously a form of top-down control. It is administered and directed by those at least as high as the State government, although it is obviously controlled by interests at even higher levels still. In this regard, the Emergency Managers act as the modern versions of Satraps, circumventing the elected governments of the cities and local municipalities. Elections are held, but are largely irrelevant in terms of finance and economics because the real authority is held by the Emergency Manager. The elected officials are mere formalities. With only a few minor aesthetic differences, this is the same system of governance that was used by Hitler in the form of his Gauleiter regional dictators.[1] Interestingly enough, the system also bears a striking resemblance to the Soviet model of rule by council. Although the Snyder administration (and most of the Michigan State government) denies that the Emergency Manager has been granted the unconstitutional authority of removing elected leaders from their posts, history shows these denials to be inaccurate. During the period of 1999-2005, when Detroits deficit was once again an issue, the public school system was taken over by an Emergency Manager and the elected school board was subsequently disbanded. This type of post-democratic behavior has even been the subject of a lawsuit filed in the Ingham County Circuit Court. Several groups are involved in representing the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, two of them being the Center for Constitutional Rights and the Sugar Law Center. John Philo, the legal director for the latter, stated in regards to the Emergency Manager Law, that What youre saying is that an emergency manager now controls all, including the right to enact or repeal local ordinances. What youre saying is that one individual now without any sort of legislative process gets to enact a law. Another individual involved in the suit, Edith Lee-Payne, states, We have the right to elect people and hold them accountable. We dont have that right with an emergency manager. Obviously, something must be done about city budget deficits, debt, crumbling financial structure, corruption, and the like. However, the Emergency Manager options being exercised by the Michigan State Government must be recognized for what it is asset stripping, union busting, and repeated fleecing of the taxpayer. Essentially, what happens in the Emergency Management process is, after the budget deficit balloons out of control and Emergency Managers are sent in, the elected officials (whether responsible for the deficits or not) are reduced to mere formalities for the policies being dictated to them by their Emergency Manager who is, in turn, merely an agent for those in higher places. When this occurs, elected officials may remain in order to placate and fool the public, but in other cases, such as with the School Board, elected officials may be removed altogether along with any pretense of representative government. It is here that the asset stripping begins. In a fashion which is almost identical to the methods used by the IMF over debt-laden countries, austerity measures are ordered for the paralyzed city/municipality. Drastic spending cuts are imposed on essential services while taxes are raised on the already strapped citizenry. Privatization runs rampant, allowing services and infrastructure that were once developed, maintained, and paid for by taxpayer money to be turned over to private companies whose only goal is to make a profit. After fees are raised and the infrastructure is abused and destroyed, these services are usually turned back in to the taxpayer in order to use public funding to build them back up until it is time to privatize them yet again. Other times, the services just disappear altogether. Of course, city workers and teachers become victims of the fleecing as well. Any union contracts (where they still exist) are immediately cut off, lowering wages and the general standard of living, while teachers are undercut by outside workers and government subsidized scabs, unwitting and well-meaning as they may be. When living standards are sufficiently lowered and books are fixed and warped to appear to have reduced the city deficit to a manageable level, the Emergency Manager leaves. However, as history shows us, cutting and gutting, particularly in difficult economic times, only produces a bigger deficit the next year. So, essentially, the Emergency Manager only leaves temporarily because he actually left the city with yet another load of debt to be collected at a future date. When the time comes for the piper to be paid, the Emergency Manager will return for yet more cutting and gutting, starting the process all over again. Bear in mind, the Emergency Management Law also allows for the Governor to declare the need for an Emergency Manager for a variety of new reasons. No longer is the issue merely financial. As The Michigan Citizen writes, the State seized control of the DPS (Detroit Public School System) mainly because of a gap between State test score averages and DPS scores. It should also be mentioned that, according to the Michigan Citizen, after the State returned control of the DPS to the elected School Board, the bond money had been spent and the district was looking at a projected deficit of $198.7 million. One need only look to the three cities who were forced to take on an Emergency Manager to see the pattern. Highland Park, Hamtramck, and Flint were all subjected to the austerity programs under their Emergency Managers at some point between 2000-2007. In 2012, all three are broke and are once again being considered for an Emergency Manager. All of this austerity and grandstanding on behalf of the State government and the Snyder administration, of course, is nothing more than an exercise in boundless hypocrisy. As Detroit City Councilwoman Joann Watson stated, It is outrageous that a state which has its own deficit, in a country that has its own deficit, has the nerve to point fingers at our city. Clearly, the Emergency Manager option is not a legitimate solution to the economic issues that plague Detroit, Michigan, or the United States. The Emergency Financial Management Law is an exercise in IMF-style austerity, privatization that benefits a select group of pet businesses, union busting, lowering the standard of living, and Fascist governance. As the Michigan-based Electablog expertly states: Indeed, something must be done about the Emergency Manager dictatorship. However, when moves are made to amend the Fascist endeavors of Governor Snyder, what results is only more Fascism. For instance, when voters mobilized to reject Public Act 4 (aka, the Emergency Manager Law), the Michigan legislature simply passed another version which was almost identical to the one cast down by voters in the referendum. Predictably, Snyder immediately signed the new bill into law. But, while the new law contains some token provisions designed to placate voters (but with very little substance to them), many consider the new version to be even worse since the new law will not be subject to voter referendum. While the consolidation of police forces and the Emergency Managers Law in Michigan may at first appear to be completely unrelated issues, the fact is that they are much more closely related that one may believe. Fascism does not always come in the middle of the night with armies marching in the streets, uniformed dictators clamping down on the population in one fell swoop, or stormtroopers pulling off a coup of the national governance. Fascism is capable of taking hold in many different forms and it is usually more successful if its campaign is gradual. Thus, the term creeping Fascism is an accurate term for the developments we have seen taking place inside the United States for many years. Unfortunately, in 2013, it is an outdated term. Fascism is no longer creeping. It is here. The only question is what are we going to do about it. References: [1] Collier, Martin; Pedley, Philip. Hitler and the Nazi State.

The star-cross'd Frigate took on Water during a Tempest, and despite the attempts of the Crew to jettison the less valuable members of the Hold, so as to lighten the Tonnage in the densely pack'd Hull, the Onrush of the cruel Sea overwhelm'd the valiant Effort. A small Solace can be found in the Survival of Capt Wm HARRIS and eight of his Crew, who escap'd the foundered Betsy in the vessel's Long-Boate, and were recover'd, barely alive, by the Privateer Reck-Less.

2	Atheist Group Goes After Christian Principle For Some Unthinkable Reason According to recent reports, a high school in White Oak, Texas has become the target of an atheist activist group after it was revealed that the principal has been reading students daily scriptures. The daily exercise is called Thought of the Day. Superintendent Michael Gilbert defended White Oak High School and Principal Dan Noll when he was approached by reporters. Im sorry you feel that way, Gilbert said, clearly addressing the atheist group. I will be praying for you and your staff daily. Nolls daily scripture readings became public knowledge after a student recorded him and sent the audio over to an atheist blogger. Gilbert claims that he will not pursue any action against our High School Principal or any other member of our faculty/staff concerning this issue. This group and others like it, are wanting us to provide them with negative quotes to use in the promotion of their agenda, Gilbert continued. We can and will make the adjustments needed to ensure our students experience a morally sound, positive character based educationWe will continue to provide for all the needs of our students and we will do so while traveling the High Road. Dont get drawn into a game of words that has no winner. Please do not waste your time and effort on these few detractors. What do you think of the incident? Is Noll wrong to be reading the Thought of the Day? 
3	Anonymous Takes #OpISIS To A New Level - By Stopping An Actual Terror AttackBy Matt Agorist As the Independent reports, In this month we are working in silence, a now-deleted tweet that was posted on Christmas Day read. We have already foiled one attack, Isis against Italy, we hope to block others. The account then posted another tweet the following day, threatening more attacks against supporters of the group. Were digging your graves, it said. We have found you, we are in your accounts and phones, the nightmare is about to begin. Isis will implode. After the group deleted those tweets, they followed up with tweets confirming that they have stopped an attack. #OpParis (@OpParisOfficial) December 28, 2015 Keep calm, its not over yet. #OpParis (@OpParisOfficial) December 28, 2015 Of course, the group was met with skepticism from all sides but they noted that no one needs to believe them in order for justice to be served. #OpParis (@OpParisOfficial) December 28, 2015 Since the attacks in Paris, Anonymous has made its vision of eviscerating ISIS devastatingly clear. Immediately after the attacks, tens of thousands of social media accounts with links to the terrorist regime were taken offline. But that was only the beginning. Last month, the Free Thought Project reported on Anonymous move to publish 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. Tens of thousands more ISIS-affiliated social media accounts have been removed since the guide went public. After it was revealed that ISIS is being aided and supported by Turkey, Anonymous launched a massive attack against the NATO country last week. In an extensive DDoS attack, the group took down some 40,000 Turkish servers. While many have been critical of Anonymouss digital attacks, claiming that they do not hurt ISIS, news of them stopping a physical attack is sure to rattle some cages. As the fight against terror becomes a vigilante operation, one thing is certain, Anonymous is here to stay and a force to surely be reckoned with. Matt Agorist writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com We need all the help that we can get, since the radical UN and EU elite liberals arent. Oh yes. The great anon is our hero. No. Saviour. Anon our savior. All praise anon. Morons sitting in their mommies basement diddling themselves. They think thats normal. Freaks. We are all anonymous, what have you done for or against CIASIS ? ANY and ALL help should be WELCOME and THANKED. This is an IDEOLOGY we have to defeat. Nice photo King Osamas New Hat at the White House ? The most disgusting and barbarous religion is statism. Hope you do not forget that CIASIS is a CIA Op.. If not for the Anonymous participants safety. Well done Anonymous. I know you are saving lives but wouldnt it be brilliant if Cameron and other banker puppets woke up one morning to find contents of their bank accounts redistributed amongst the people? I mean use your hacking capability to treat these greedy manipulative arseholes to a taste of austerity. I think that would be just and fair I mean why not, why shouldnt the likes of Cameron Osborne and IDS have a taster of what theyve put the rest of us through? I say bring it on Anon! Lets take it one step further. Wouldnt it be brilliant if we all woke up one morning to find that everyones tax records had been erased? Just saying. That creates credibility for other stuff. Anonymous the good guy. Since when has anonymous become terroist fighters??? I thought anonymous existed to expose the people who fund terrorism? I sense a nasty joint-op that undermines the true mission Oh well Thanks Anonymous, you guys rock. 
3	Google Searches for Chemtrails Skyrocketed Last Month, Highest EverBy Cassius Kamarampi Supporting the idea that people are researching chemtrails more frequently because they are seeing them more frequently, there seem to be seasonal peaks in the search statistics. You can test it for yourself at Google Trends here. The highest peaks include: From this we might be able to infer that geoengineering activity took place in spring or winter for the last several years. The peaks of Google search activity for geoengineering occurred at many of the same points as for chemtrails. And here are the results for geoengineering chemtrails. Clifford Carnicoms 2005 documentary Aerosol Crimes must have been a contribution to the first two spikes. As we pointed out in The Geoengineering Escalation of 2016, we can measure and track geoengineering activity, and we should grip onto that and use that as something we can do about this. Lets stay active. We recommend taking pictures of the trails at every single opportunity: track them, make observations, communicate with people and lets figure out how to deal with this threat to our health and prosperity as the free human beings we should be. Please share this with as many people as possible. Image Credit: David Dees This article (Google Searches for Chemtrails Skyrocketed Last Month, Highest Ever) is free and open source.

A few have; they have been completely ignored. Ive called epa, aqmd, congress, states representatives, the air traffic controllers, the local air force base, the dot that supposedly regulates air travel as well? Thats what I was told at least no one I mean no one will answer own up to any of it past off to department to department. Epa even went as far to tell me that they are not currently looking into contrails as they are contrails and nothing else even when science defied logic. Phoenix had a certain day riddled just in my area alone over 30 trails in an hour when that moment we had 0 percent precipitation and 4 humidity which defied all logic there should have and by there explanation contrails should not have even existed. Go figure. Because the politicians are either completely clueless or theyre fully aware of geo-engineering and have pledged their allegiance to the powers that be. The real question is why do you put any kind of faith into politicians? Havent you learned by now that politicians are not the ones in power? Corporations, big banks and the military industrial complex are the ones who control this planet. America has been bought out from right underneath us. We are now the United States of Corporations and theyre all in on this together. Geo-engineering, depopulation, dumbing down of the people, pharmaceutical companies keeping us strung out and addicted to their legal drugs GMOs,pesticides and the continuous poisoning of our food supply,vaccines, gun control, biased propaganda media/dividing of the people ALL play a role and are working for the same goal. Politicians have become the end of the spider web. Theyre basically bottom feeders in the grand scheme of things. The real question should be, why hasnt this country come together and revolted on a massive scale? Sleep tight I wonder how much Prince had to do with these spikes? Im starting to wonder if his death wasnt an accident. You would be right I think Dont believe that google trends is an accurate representation of reality.that also applies to likes and views btw. Thanks for the info, Cassius. And thanks for referencing my work. Yes, I have seen a little bump in ebook sales lately which I attribute to Princes comments and his recent death. The first paperback edition of Chemtrails Exposed is coming soon. If all goes well, it will be available within two months. Im in hiding now, but when I am done with the book, youre going to see me popping up on so many new media talk shows that youll probably get sick of me. Tally ho! https://www.amazon.com/Chemtrails-Exposed-New-Manhattan-Project-ebook/dp/B007JDN7EM/180-2677505-6010501?ie=UTF8qid=1331588967ref_=sr_1_4s=digital-textsr=1-4 Go in hard my friend! Peter, keep up the great work. It doesnt go unnoticed. Ive been following geo-engineering for years now. I can say that many people are becoming aware of these air crimes. The response I get now is much different then I did just a couple of years ago. Now, people are taking chemtrails much more serious as opposed as me getting the I just smelled a fart look. Anyhow, Ill be looking forward to the new book and any future endeavors. Take care my friend Youre welcome man, Im very happy to hear from you and receive that positive feedback. Salute and much love!! I will be getting that book as soon as its available The FDA turned a blind eye when I asked them to check into this.

1	In an urgent message broadcast on every U.S. television network, Environmental Protection Agency officials announced Wednesday that Americans should avoid breathing at all costs. Effective immediately, we are strongly advising all members of the U.S. populace to cease normal respiratory activity, said acting EPA administrator Bob Perciasepe during an impromptu press conference held in the agencys underground bunker. If you absolutely must inhale, do so at once and really make it count. As a general rule, contact with the earths atmosphere is strongly discouraged. At press time, Perciasepe reminded Americans to prevent injuries by lying down before entering a state of unconsciousness. 
1	Citing their ready availability and consistent quality, a report released Monday by the Brookings Institution confirmed that, as far as oyster crackers go, the nation is doing pretty good. The United States is currently in a very respectable place in terms of oyster crackers, and at present, any existing oyster crackerrelated concerns are minimal, said the reports lead researcher, Kevin Purcell, who offered the prevalence of oyster crackers in supermarkets, the rarity with which they are discovered broken, and the fact that packets of the crackersoften two at a timeare handed out free of charge with many soups and chowders as clear evidence that the country is in a solid spot, oyster crackerwise. Using these small crackers as our sole metric, the findings could not be any clearer: We are doing well as a nation. Our needs for oyster crackers are being met and then some. Could things take a downturn in the future vis-a-vis oyster crackers? Certainly. But there is nothing to suggest that we are moving in that direction as of now. Researchers acknowledged, however, that despite current positive trends, the country likely would never match up to the golden era of oyster crackers of the late 1840s.

3	Welcome To The Mass Surveillance State Through Microchipped PillsBy Paul A. Philips Not happy enough with monitoring our phone calls, computers and having a camera on us everywhere we go outside the recently FDA-approved microchip in a pill will be the perfect excuse to place surveillance inside our bodies. (Yes, its science-fiction as in the example of the old George Lucas movieTHX 1138 now turned into science-fact. The scientific dictatorship is here care of the surveillance state folks.) Of course, the idea will be presented to us as highly beneficial from a health point of view. People can be checked if theyve taken their pills and not forgotten them or use real-time monitoring for maintaining the right prescribed dosage and many people will buy into it while failing to see the dark hidden ulterior motive. Could a remote-controlled digital-dosing monitoring system have the effect of making its pill-taking citizens temperate and docile if ever needed? Or could it be used to deliberately change our moods? A clue in the hidden agenda comes from the fact that these microchipped pills have cost billions to develop which comes to the point that big government wants to mandate our health. Without our consent big government has mandates on our medical insurance and vaccines as in the example of the recently passed SB 277 California vaccination Bill The want of surveillance on us through internal microchipping is nothing new. Regina Dugan, a former DARPA director turned Google Executive, has been known for some time for wanting us to swallow ID microchips. She has also been pushing for us to have an electronic tattoo capable of mindreading. Those developing it claim that it will help people with mental problems such as soldiers wanting to have bad memories erased from being on the battlefield But the consequences of this could also have dark and sinister ulterior motives when using it for mind control. This in effect turns the person ingesting these microchips into a biological ID system. This enables them to use their computers, phones and open the doors to their car, etc. as part of the smart system, but the idea of using these new technologies for the dark and sinister purpose of being tracked and monitored is a violation of our individual liberties and freedom. The fact that the related authorities overseeing this technology has frequently lied telling us that theyre not interested in snooping on our phone calls, etc. when the opposite has been found is enough to send a red flag warning on microchipping us through pills. Microchipping technology has been years in the making. Geospatial intelligence metadata collection for over 15 years has been used to map out human behaviour for mass surveillance It shouldnt come as a surprise to anyone that the powers that be have taken this very seriously knowing that they want to use surveillance on a global scale. You can read more from Paul Philips at his site NewParadigm.ws There are people stupid enough to use this but swallowing it is ridiculous as you would eliminate it later. Wouldnt injecting it in vaccines be more to the point? renewable profitabilty George Orwells 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual. so very well said! If the smartphone addicts can have an app showing their health vital signs as it passes through they will love it. They will beg for it. So the people who got the unthinking to pay for their own surveillance by getting them to buy smartphones know their suckers very well. Easy solution, refuse pharmaceutical treatment, and opt for holistic cures, and eating right. Couldnt agree with ya more.take control of your own body, by eating and drinking only organic, you wouldnt regret a moment you change your own life around. Im glad I learned early! @Joan Camara @Rachel Flanagan love your way of thinking newer heard of chemtrails inhalable microchips did you ever see organic clouds in the sky they rain only on organic produce as sky is full of pollutants from volcanic eruptions and man made pollutants and they only fall on non organic produce when it rains.Fluoride in water makes you gullible and it works.Use pure borax to expel that gullible fluoride from your mind. Not much longer folks . . . then the genocide will begin. Obamacare documents reveal chips to be installed in human resources by 2016. here is a breakdown of what is planned and what is already being implemented into humans without consent or knowledge Anybody stupid enough to swallow one of these things, deserves what they get! lets try it out on our politicians first or the muslimes i love the smell of dead muslimes in the morning Two questions: 1) when will it start? It will start as soon as they have paid off the proper FDA regulators. Every medication will get chipped. Great response. Snowden and Assange are limited hangout agents. Manning must be the real deal given his incarceration and how he has been treated by the MSM. TPTB also want to make sure you are taking the meds they tell you to take. Im sure there are uncountable numbers of people tossing pushed on them medications in the toilet rather than be doped up. Personally, I think this is their number one reason for wanting this technology. They will be esp interested in parents that dont like medications their kids are being put on. WE need to refuse this in all phases. How did this conversation turn to divest[ing] from religion'? What has being a believer on Jesus Christ have to do with anything discussed here? 
1	The American Association of Laundry Workers released a startling new report Thursday warning against the use of enzyme-based cleansers, alleging that, if abused, the products could create detergent-resistant 'superstains.' 'These cleaners might emulsify grease and red-wine stains better than most surfactant-based detergents, but they are only wiping out the weaker stains, while leaving the most leanser-resistant varieties of smudges to spread unchecked,' read the report, which warned that many so-called 'good' stains beneficial to shirts and pants were also being destroyed. 'More and more fabrics are developing mutated, dangerously stubborn superstains impervious to even the most dynamic scrubbing action.' The AALW's report concluded by predicting that, unless drastic changes are made to reverse the flood of enzymes into local water supplies, irreparable damage could be done to the nation's whiter whites. 
3	Spanish Copyright Amendments Will Shakedown News Sites and Censor the WebJeremy Malcolm A second way that industries can respond to technological change is by suing those whom they see as responsible for disrupting their old business models, or by lobbying for new protectionist laws to prop them up in a quixotic attempt to hold back the technological tide. Examples of this second approach to change include the music industrys ill-fated war on peer-to-peer file sharing, and lobbying by taxi cartels for new laws to make it impossible for ride-sharing companies to compete with them. Guess which of these options European news publishers have taken? The Google Tax Weve reported before on how news publishers in Germany and Ireland have demanded that Google pay royalties for the reproduction of news snippets and image thumbnails next to search results in its Google News product. In France and Belgium publishers took this claim to the courts resulting in an eventual settlement from Google, whilst in Germany, lawmakers unwisely caved in and passed legislation in 2013 to grant the special copyright-like rights in news snippets that the publishers had demanded. Illustrating how pointless this was, Google subsequently called the bluff of the German publishers, replacing their news snippets with simple hyperlinked headings rather than paying the royalties the publishers demanded, while the befuddled publishers watched their traffic stats drop away. In a humiliating backdown reported this week, the publishers have since gone back cap in hand to Google begging it to reindex their content, snippets and all. Last week, Spain passed a similar amendment to its own copyright law, but with a nasty twistnot only are news aggregators prohibited from including news snippets without payment, but this right to payment is made inalienable. This means that aggregators are prohibited from negotiating with the publishers to waive the payment, as has occurred elsewhere in Europe. This would also seemingly frustrate the intent of any news publisher who released their work under a Creative Commons or other open license for royalty-free use. The same new Spanish law (here in PDF) makes other adverse and short-sighted changes to copyright law, bowing to the lobbying pressure of large content owners. The law also newly targets businesses advertising on such websites, as well as those providing it with payment services, and authorizes the Spanish domain authority to cancel any .es domains under which they are hosted. (It is a shame that the Spanish legislators apparently think so little of Google News, because otherwise they might have read news snippets about a pair of ill-fated 2011 bills titled SOPA and PIPA that included similar Internet censorship provisions.) In combination, these provisions will seriously chill speech online, casting a potential cloud of liability over website operators and the intermediaries who serve them. Rather than reducing the dissemination of copyright-infringing content, its only likely effect will be to drive Spanish websites offshore to a less hostile legal environment. Unfortunately, its likely too late now to do much about this ill-considered lawit is already scheduled to take effect in January 2015. This is particularly poorly timed, since the European Commission is in the midst of composing a new Directive to modernize European copyright law, which is likely to be passed in that same year. Whilst the new Directive may (we can only hope) include liberalized copyright limitations and exceptions, Spains amendments to its copyright law go in precisely the opposite direction. There is no doubt that technological change has hit newspaper publishers as well as other copyright owners. But a backward-looking law that penalizes innovators and threatens free speech on the Internet is not the solution.

1	Following their synchronized emergence this week after gestating underground since 1996, a colossal swarm of 17-year cicadas were horrified today to learn about the events of September 11, 2001. Holy shit, are you serious? said one member of the East Coast brood of winged insects, expressing its continued shock and horror about the coordinated terrorist attacks that claimed the lives of 3,000 people. They just flew the planes right into the fucking buildings? Man, oh, man. People must have just been completely freaking out. Christ, I know I would have been. At press time, the 17-year cicadas were beginning to express serious doubts about how two structures supported by reinforced concrete and steel beams could just collapse like that.

2	Obama Is Preparing To Wage War On The United States Starting With Texas [VIDEO] Recently, Alex Jones appeared on Infowars with Army veteran Joe Biggs to discuss a leaked military document, indicating a plan by the government to wage war on the American people. The document reads: Jade Helm is a challenging eight-week joint military and Interagency (IA) Unconventional Warfare (UW) exercise conducted throughout Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah and Colorado, according to an unclassified military document announcing the training drill, which runs from July 15 through September 15. During the discussion on Infowars, the group discussed a leaked 2012 US Army Military Police training manual, which describes how soldiers would be ordered to rid the population of American dissidents. It also discusses methods for re-educating members of the population. Jade Helm has been met with extraordinary criticism, but the left and the media have done what they can to make any doubters seem like conspiracy theorists. This seems pretty questionable to us. What do you think? 
3	Monsanto/FDA: 2 crime families, trillion-dollar hustleJon Rappoport Perhaps you remember the Just-Label-It campaign. A number of activist groups petitioned the FDA for a federal regulation that would make labeling GMO food mandatory all across America. The petition amassed over a million signatures. But the FDA decided only 394 of these were legitimate, because all the others were electronically submitted in one document. Infuriating? Of course. But that was nothing. Imagine this. A killer is put on trial, and the jury, in a surprise verdict, finds him not guilty. Afterwards, reporters interview this killer. He says, The jury freed me. Its up to them. They decide. Thats what justice is all about. Then the press moves along to members of the jury, who say: Well, we had to take the defendants word. He said he was innocent, so thats what we ruled. Thats an exact description of the FDA and Monsanto partnership. When you cut through the verbiage that surrounded the introduction of GMO food into America, you arrive at two key statements. One from Monsanto and one from the FDA, the agency responsible for overseeing, licensing, and certifying new food varieties as safe. From the Federal Register, Volume 57, No.104, Statement of [FDA] Policy: Foods Derived from New Plant Varieties, here is what the FDA had to say on this matter: Ultimately, it is the food producer who is responsible for assuring safety. The direct and irreconcilable clash of these two statements is no accident. Its not a sign of incompetence or sloppy work or a mistake or a miscommunication. Its a clear signal that the fix was in. No real science. No deep investigation. No convincing evidence of safety. Passing the buck back and forth was the chilling and arrogant strategy through which Pandoras Box was pried opened and GMO food was let into the US food supply. In order for this titanic scam to work, the media had to cooperate. Reporters had to be a) idiots and b) sell-outs. With few exceptions, reporters and their editors let the story rest there, as a he said-he said issue. No sane principled journalist would have cut bait at that point, but who said mainstream reporters are sane or principled? Underneath the Monsanto-FDA buck-passing act, there was a conscious deal to give a free pass to GMO crops. This had nothing to do with science or health or feeding the world. It was about profits. It was also about establishing a new monopoly on food. Not only would big agribusiness dominate the planets food supply as never before, it would strengthen its stranglehold through patents on novel types of seeds which were technologically engineered. Its very much like saying, A cob of corn is not a plant, its a machine, and we own the rights to every one of those yellow machines. How was Monsanto able to gather so much clout? There was one reason and one reason only. Putting the worlds food supply into fewer hands was, and is, a major item on the Globalist agenda. If it werent, the FDA-Monsanto scam would have been exposed in a matter of weeks or months. Major newspapers and television networks would have attacked the obvious con job like packs of wild dogs and torn it to pieces. But once the scam had been given a free pass, the primary corporate-government tactic was to accomplish a fait accompli, a series of events that was irreversible. In this case, it was about gene drift. From the beginning, it was well known that GMO plants release genes that blow in the wind and spread from plant to plant, crop to crop, and field to field. There is no stopping it. Along with convincing enough farmers to lock themselves into GMO-seed contracts, Monsanto bought up food-seed companies in order to engineer the seedsand the gene-drift factor was the ace in the hole. Sell enough GMO seeds, plant enough GMO crops, and you flood the worlds food crops with Monsanto genes. Back in the 1990s, the prince of darkness, Michael Taylor, who has moved through the revolving door between the FDA and Monsanto several times, and is now the czar of food safety at the FDATaylor said, with great conviction, that the GMO revolution was unstoppable; within a decade or two, an overwhelming percentage of food grown on planet Earth would be GMO. Taylor and others knew. They knew about gene drift, and they also knew that ownership of the worlds food, by a few companies, was a prime focus for Globalist kings who intended to feed the population through Central Planning and Distribution. We feed these people; we hold back food from those people; we send food there; we dont send food here. Control food and water, and you hold the world in your hand. Here is evidence that, even in earlier days, Monsanto knew about and pushed for the Globalist agenda. Quoted by J. Flint, in his 1998 Agricultural Giants Moving Towards Genetic Monopolism, Robert Fraley, head of Monsantos agri-division, stated: What you are seeing is not just a consolidation of [Monsanto-purchased] seed companies. Its really a consolidation of the entire food chain. And as for the power of the propaganda in that time period, I can think of no better statement than the one made on January 25th, 2001, by the outgoing US Secretary of Agriculture, Dan Glickman. As reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Glickman said: What I saw generically on the pro-biotech [GMO] side was the attitude that the technology was good and that it was almost immoral to say that it wasnt good, because it was going to solve the problems of the human race and feed the hungry and clothe the naked. And there was a lot of money that had been invested in this, and if youre against it, youre Luddites, youre stupid. There was rhetoric like that even here in this department [USDA]. You felt like you were almost an alien, disloyal, by trying to present an open-minded view on some of these issues being raised. So I pretty much spouted the rhetoric that everybody else around here spouted; it was written into my speeches. Glickman reveals several things in these remarks: he was spineless; people at the Dept. of Agriculture were madly buying into the Monsanto cover story about feeding the world; and there had to be a significant degree of infiltration at his Agency. The last point is key. This wasnt left to chance. You dont get a vocal majority of Dept. of Agriculture personnel spouting the Monsanto propaganda merely because the fairy tale about feeding the world sounds so good. No, there are people working on the inside to promote the social cause and make pariahs out of dissenters. You need special background and training to pull that off. It isnt an automatic walk in the park. This is professional psyop and intelligence work. Ive done some investigation of various groups on both the left and the right, and Ive seen some pros in action. Theyre good. They know how to leverage ideas and slogans and ideals. They know how to defame opponents and find the right words to sink them. They know how to turn high-flying but vague words about humanity into moral imperatives. This isnt rinky-dink stuff. To tune up bureaucrats and scientists, you have to have a background in manipulation. You have to know what youre doing. You have to be able to build and sustain support, without giving your game away. Truth be told, governments are full of these pros, who will take any number of causes and turn them into what falsely sounds like good science, good government, good morality, all the while knowing that, on the far shore, sits the real prize: control. These psyop specialists are hired to help make overarching and planet-wide agendas come true, as populations are brought under sophisticated and pathological elites who care, for example, about feeding the world as much as a collector cares about paralyzing and pinning butterflies on a panel in a glass case. Here is David Rockefeller, writing in his 2003 Memoirs: 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 that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it. The Globalists play for keeps. Owning the food of the world is part of their strike-force action plan, and Monsanto is the technocratic arm of that plan. Meanwhile, the controlled press treats the whole sordid Monsanto/FDA story with its time-honored policy of he said-he said. This policy dictates that stories merely present both sides of a conflict without drawing conclusions. It applies across the boardexcept when it doesnt. For example, for reasons too complex to go into here, the Washington Post decided to suspend its policy in the Watergate case. Woodward and Bernstein were assigned to investigate what was going on behind White House denials and obfuscations. The same thing could be done with Monsanto, and it would be far easier. The lies and crimes and cover-ups are everywhere. You could wear sunglasses and find them in the dark. The NY Times and the Washington Post could sell millions more papers on the back of the Monsanto story alone. It would be a bonanza for them. But no. They dont care. Theyd rather keep declining and losing readers. Theyd rather die. Normally, a business doesnt commit suicide, especially when it sees exactly how to resuscitate itself. But here we are dealing with an agenda which cant be disturbed. Globalism, and its agri-techno partner, Monsanto, are creating a planetary future. Major media are part and parcel of that op. They are selling it. Even as their bottom lines erode, these newspapers and television networks have to stay on their present course. By pretending theyre reporting the real news, theyre giving the impression that Monsanto and the FDA are home free. Again, we arent talking about sloppy reporting or accidental omissions of fact or boggling incompetence or ignorance about science. We are talking about conscious intent to deceive. Yes, now and then the controlled media will release a troubling piece about Monsanto. But placement and frequency are everything. How often do these stories run? Do they run as the lead or do we find them on page 7? Are reporters assigned to keep pounding on a basic story and reveal more and more crimes? Does the basic story gather steam over the course of weeks and months? These are the decisions that make or break a story. In the case of Monsanto and the FDA, the decisions were made a long time ago. Part of every reporters training in how the real world works, if he has any ideals at all, is marching into his editors office with his hair on fire demanding to be given an assignment to expose a crime. The editor, knowing the true agenda of his newspaper or television network, tells the reporter: Weve already covered that. Its old news. People arent interested in it. Its too complicated. The evidence youre showing me is thin. Youll never get to the bottom of it. The people involved wont talk to you. And if none of those lies work, the editor might say, If you keep pushing this, it would be bad for your career. Youll lose access for other stories. Youll be thought of as weird This is how the game works at ground level. But make no mistake about it, the hidden agenda is about protecting an elites op from exposure. If NBC, for example, gave its golden boy, Brian Williams, the green light, he would become an expert on Monsanto in three days. Hed become a tiger. Hed affect a whole set of morally outraged poses and send Monsanto down into Hell. Dont misunderstand. Brian hasnt been waiting to move in for the kill. But wind him up and point to a target and hell go there. However, no one at NBC in the executive offices will point him at Monsanto or the FDA. All the major reporters at news outlets and all the elite television anchors are really psyop specialists. Its just that most of them dont know it. One outraged major reporter who woke up and got out of the business put it to me this way: When he was in the game, he looked at the news as a big public restroom. His one guiding principle was: Dont piss on your shoes. Pissing on your shoes was covering a story that was considered out of bounds. If you walked into the bosss office, hed look you up and down and see the telltale sign. Hed say, Hey, you pissed on your shoes. Get out of here. Youre fired.

3	Dare to Live: Breaking Free (How to live the Solution)Freedom is just the extent of control you have over your own life Every day we despair at the atrocities we see going on in the world. We all have issues close to our hearts whether political, financial, scientific, health related, humanistic or other. We long for change. We can smell it in the air like dinner in the oven wafting through the room. All of us at the table have different tastes, choose different things from the menu, and we all want to like what were about to eat. So how can one restaurant satisfy us all? It cant! Thats why we have many restaurants and we each have our preferred ones. So why is it when it comes to any other decision, whether it is political party, financial policy, scientific theory, or diet we usually think one particular solution can serve us all? Freedom, like food, is all about personal preference or simply put; choice. In todays society we find ourselves eating in a bad restaurant because the majority voted it in. In a bad restaurant it doesnt matter what you choose from the menu youre not going to like what you get! So when the world picks a different choice to the one you wanted how can you be happy and what should you do about it? If the choice was as straightforward as a meal wed simply pick a different restaurant or if no options suited us then wed stick to cooking at home. With the bigger life and world issues, individually we simply dont have the influence to choose where we eat. This can leave us feeling frustrated, worried or even anxious to change things. Butfocusingon the things we cant control, will only lead to disappointment. Here are things you do control: When it comes to changing the world though, we typically think about changing things at the top. Do you envisage a great leader to swoop in and do things right making all the best choices? Do you know of any man who can always be right and never make a mistake or who can keep everyone happy? I dont believe any of us are perfect. If you are basing your happiness in the idea that someone or something outside yourself can make it all right you are sure to be let down and feel unhappy. In doing such a thing you are out of control and actively giving up your freedom. Freedom is just the extent of control you have over your own life. How can you be in control when your happiness rests in someone elses hands like a leader? Therefore its up to you to take control of your life and your actions. Do you think there is nothing you can do? I tell you the truth when I say you just dont realise the power of one person. Many agree that the government, banking and corporate fat cats are working to serve only themselves. We sit reading websites like this one judging peoples bad deeds and their failings. But if you think you can change the world by having your idea be the chosen one and making everyone follow it then think again. Others will simply be in the position you are in now and you will have become just like the oppressors you hate. You cant always change other peoples minds. No matter how right you may be, sometimes, like you and I, people just dont want to hear it. The truth is; to be the solution the change needed is in YOU not outside you. The old saying goes if you cant beat em join em. This doesnt mean join in what they do and make the same choices as them, it means stop seeing them as the enemy! Join their side and help them as an individual. When we see someone with an alternative view to ours as the enemy, we have a tendency to attack them, and their response is toattackback. You must stop resenting and judging people for their mistakes. You are a flawed just like everyone else, so treat them as you would wish to be treated. Whatever you decide you can do in your sphere of influence, dont expect it to be easy. You may say there is nothing you can do, and think people will not change their minds. But I can promise that its easier for you to change the minds of your fellow people rather than change those at the top. You may not be able to change everyones opinion but even just changing one mind you will feel a lot happier. You will see a better return for the efforts you make when you focus locally, and will hold an attitude of here let me help you rather than I hate you. This helpful attitude gets much more positive responses. When enough of the population have experienced better options and decided its right for them through their own free will, the pressure on those at the top will be too great. We must first strive to become a fee thinking and free willed society as individuals for change to take effect as a whole. To find your own truth, search for Roy Masters on blogtalkradio.com .

3	Bankers Arrested, Civil War Averted, Economy On The ReboundA Wish List, and a Tale of Two Countries Who says there isnt justice in the world for the globalists who continue to plunder the assets of average people? Four prominent bankers have been sentenced to prison and assessed hefty financial penalties. The First District Court of Appeals sentenced four former Goldman Sachs Executives to prison terms ranging from three to five years in prison for financial crimes dating back to 2008. The Supreme Court, fearing civilian reprisals, has refused to hear the bankers appeals. The mainstream media is reporting that Hank Paulson, former CEO of Goldman Sachs and Secretary of the Treasury as well as being known for being the architect of the bailouts, received the heaviest sentence of five years in prison. Paulson was ordered to pay $33.4 million dollars in fines. Along these same lines, former Goldman Sachs CEO and World Bank President, Tim Geithner, was sentenced to three years in prison along with being assessed a hefty $23 million dollar fine. The mastermind of the MF Global theft, former Goldman Sachs executive and the former Governor of New Jersey, Jon Corzine, was sentenced to four years and an $18 million dollar fine. The most recent Goldman Sachs CEO, Lloyd Blankfein was also sentenced to three years and assessed a $13 million dollar penalty. When hundreds of thousands of citizens showed up at the Capitol building and began throwing rocks at the building, this triggered the biggest civil unrest in the countrys history. The military refused to become involved and government officials cowered in fear as DHS fought off the protesters. Shortly thereafter, the beleaguered Congress rediscovered its backbone and issued arrest warrants for the four criminal banksters. Of course, Goldman Sachs and several other international bank entities warned the citizens that the country would collapse economically and it would become necessary to usher in martial law. This proved to be an empty threat, as the opposite ended up being true. The year following the arrests of these four bankster thugs, the economy grew at a rate of 2.6%. It is safe to say that the government will never tolerate the undue influence of any financial institution again. The country is approaching financial solvency. Goldman Sachs has been turned into a bed and breakfast location. Who would have thought that this would have been possible? Fade to black.not in a pigs eye! I would pray that these events would take place, but unfortunately, our bankster crime rate continues to rise exponentially. However, the equivalent of these events, and more, just took place in Iceland. Icelanders must not eat GMOs, their water must not be fluoridated and their men never need Viagra. If Americans were to ever travel to Iceland, they would find that the country has much more than just snowballs! Why? Icelanders have courage and intestinal fortitude. Meanwhile, back in the USA our sheep are too busy watching reality shows, while at the same time running from reality. However, as the reader will soon discover, the circumstances in Iceland are unique and are not likely shared by other Western nations. In an unprecedented ruling, Reykjavk District Court sentenced four former banking executives of the Kaupthing Bank to between 3 and 5 1/2 years in prison for financial crimes dating back to 2008. Vsir is reporting that former Kaupthing director, Hreiar Mr Sigursson received the heaviest sentence which consisted of five and a half years. He was also ordered to pay $33.4 million and also pay the governments legal fees. There is a God and there is justice in Iceland as former Kaupthing chairperson, and former Interpol fugitive, Sigurur Einarsson, was sentenced to five years, and ordered to pay a total of $14.3 million as well as legal fees. If the Icelandic people could get their hands on Goldman Sachs officials they would.They impeached and convicted corrupt politicians who were in league with Wall Street, many of which are serving prison sentences. Iceland is on its way to a full economic recovery while still saying no to the corrupt Goldman Sachs influences in Europe. Iceland is saying no to the Bank for International Settlements. Iceland is a beacon of hope for the rest of the G20 nations including the United States, or is it? Why Did the Uprising Work in Iceland and Nowhere Else? Gadaffi showed the same level of defiance to the corrupt banksters as did the people of Iceland, yet he is dead. What is the difference? In Iceland, the people are engaged and are committed. This was not the case in Libya and this is certainly not the case in the United States. Both Libya and the United States have been invaded by massive immigration (i.e. many al-Qaeda took up residency in Libya before the revolution) and Americas immigration issues have been well chronicled. Both countries lacked the solidarity which ultimately served to dilute their national resolve. Further, in America, the mainstream media keeps the masses docile and dumbed down while conducting their version of Occupy America. The Major Reason Why Iceland Beat the Bankers Most of Congress has been bought off. The so-called representative government is beyond the reach of the people. In Iceland, that is not the case and even if it was, it would not matter. The most important fact related to the Icelandic revolution happened after the implementation of a type of self-governing approach which includes some elements of Direct Democracy. Icelanders have much more say in their government than we do. This is a huge advantage for the citizens of Iceland, as from this moment on, no external power can conquer their country through hidden activities and the creation of bribed puppets. Politicians can theoretically be bribed, but it would not matter. Icelands President, Olafur Ragnar Grimmson, was interviewed earlier this year at the World Economic Forum in Davos on why Iceland has enjoyed such a strong recovery after its complete financial collapse in 2008, while the rest of the West is still mired in debt, poverty and hopelessness to go with empty promises of an economic recovery. When asked whether Icelands policy of letting the banks fail would have worked in the rest of Europe, Grimsson stated: Why are the banks considered to be the holy churches of the modern economy? Why are private banks not like airlines and telecommunication companies and allowed to go bankrupt if they have been run in an irresponsible way? The theory that you have to bail-out banks is a theory that you allow bankers enjoy for their own profit their success, and then let ordinary people bear their failure through taxes and austerity. Conclusion Americans have three choices if our nation is to recover: (1) Civil War; (2) Establish direct democracy and begin the political purge that will rid the government of the banker takeover; or, (3) Passively accept our present circumstance and embrace our ultimate and complete demise. Our best and most effective course of action would be to work towards direct democracy. This would be a slow process because our government has stage-four cancer. We would have to continually create one-term politicians until we got a majority of people who would grant the country a say in how they we are governed. Some believe that civil war is inevitable as the bankster controlled government tightens it noose around the country. This could be the case when the government and its foreign assets begin to seize guns from American citizens. The implementation of Obamacare could prove to be the trigger event leading to the governments need to seize the guns due to massive civil unrest. Given the fact that the past is the best predictor of the future, at least at this moment, I would bet that FEMA camps and the unimaginable lies directly in our future. What do you think? Is there a way to galvanize the country and proceed against the existing establishment with a single purpose similar to what happened to Iceland? I would propose that we have an electronic town hall meeting in order to share ideas. Please share your thoughts on the comment board with regard to these questions and issues.

1	Members of the U.S. Armed Forces were reportedly overcome with feelings of joy, nostalgia, and optimism this week after learning they would soon be withdrawn from Iraq and allowed to finally return home to Afghanistan. 'I never thought this day would come,' said Cpl. Douglas Robinson, who hasn't seen the barren hills and smoking craters of his beloved Kabul in nearly six years. 'Being away from those you left behind, for this long, it definitely starts to take a toll on you.' The amber waves of blowing sand and rubble. Added Robinson, 'I can't believe I'm going home again.' In 2003, thousands of American soldiers were unexpectedly uprooted from Afghanistan and sent off to fight in a long and bloody war overseas. After serving multiple tours of duty in Iraq, the vast majority of these troops said they couldn't wait to get back and have their lives return to normal. 'It's going to be great to be surrounded by all those familiar faces again,' said Pfc. Shawn Brunner, staring wistfully at an old and faded photograph of the bleak wasteland. 'The tribal sheiks, the frightened villagers, all that wonderful rubble near the Id Gah Mosque. When I'm finally back on Afghan soil, I'll probably kiss the ground.' Like Brunner, marines stationed at Camp al Qaim in Iraq said they longed for the comforts of home, whether it's stopping off at a local eatery for a hot meal of sabzi challow, or spending Sunday afternoon cheering on their favorite buzkashi team. Others reportedly yearned for the day when they would be reunited with their children, many of whom hadn't even been born when their fathers left for Iraq. 'I can't wait to meet my little princess, Badria,' Lt. David Shapiro said. 'I just hope her mother isn't still angry at me.' According to military officials, the announcement of the long awaited homecoming has greatly improved morale, with U.S. soldiers looking forward to returning to the one place where they truly felt like they belonged. 'Hopefully we'll stay put for a while,' said Cpl. Michael White, adding that he couldn't wait to hear the familiar strains of neighbors speaking Dari in the streets. 'With any luck we'll be in Afghanistan for another 10 years.' While most remained enthusiastic about the trip home, a small percentage of military personnel expressed concerns that Afghanistan had drastically changed since they were called off to war. Others worried that it would now be awkward to interact with local warlords. 'I don't want people to treat me weird just because I've been away for so long,' Lt. Gerald Karshner said. 'I'm sure there will be a period of adjustment. You know, just getting reacquainted with the sounds of slightly less mortar fire, or that special tear gas smell that only Afghanistan has. Still, it'll be great to sleep in my old metal bed again.' The journey back will be bittersweet for some. Pvt. Michael Tagle, 24, said he could still remember a more innocent time in his life, when he would drive around all day in a tank with friends, several of whom, sadly, are no longer around. 'We had our entire lives ahead of us,' said Tagle, who 'pretty much grew up' in Kandahar. 'Anything was possible. Going to college. Maybe starting a family someday. Even making the world a better place.' Added Tagle, 'It's funny the things you picture for yourself when you're young.' Amid all the fanfare, there was some unpleasant news. Troops in the 11th Marine Regiment were ordered early Tuesday morning to ship off to the United States, a distant foreign land, filled with bizarre customs, strange beliefs, and millions of people they do not know or understand. 
3	The Biological Weapons Convention Turns 40Are we any safer?By Janet Phelan The Biological Weapons Convention was signed by the three depositary countriesRussia, Great Britain and the United Statesin 1972 and entered into force in 1975. The announcement by the Nixon administration in 1969 that the US would unilaterally renounce the use of biological weapons and discontinue its biological weapons program provided an impetus towards the establishment of the treaty. Unlike other disarmament treaties, the BWC has no verification protocol. What this means is that there is no way for the Convention to check to see if those who have signed and ratified the Convention are in fact abiding by its dictates. In 2001, after several years of meetings and consultations, an Ad Hoc Committee presented to the Convention a verification protocol for approval. The US delegation walked out, boycotting the protocol. Due to the refusal of the US to approve the verification mechanisms, the BWC remains a paper tiger. It is, in reality, a treaty in name only, with no way to check on compliance and no way to deal with violations. The US team boycotted the protocol only months before the attacks of September 11 and the subsequent anthrax attacks. Based on what turned out to be false statements that Iraq was hosting an offensive biological weapons program, the US invaded Iraq in 2003. The FBI subsequently allocated responsibility for the anthrax attacks to a Fort Detrick researcher, Dr. Bruce Ivins, who conveniently committed suicide on the eve of his probable arrest. Subsequent reports have cast doubt on the likelihood that Ivins was the culprit. In fact, the weaponized anthrax most likely came from a Battelle lab or from Dugway Proving Ground in Utah. Battelle is a private non-profit which also manages US Department of Energy and Homeland Security labs. Dugway is a military base. Both a Battelle lab in Ohio and Dugway had anthrax from the very same vial that Dr. Ivins had access to at Ft. Detrick and was determined to contain the weaponized anthrax used in the anthrax attacks. In other words, the anthrax most likely came from a facility funded by the US government. The FBI declined to investigate personnel at either of these other facilities. Later assertions, which turned out also to be false, concerning chemical weapons deployment by Syria in August of 2013, prompted the Obama administration to call for war against Syria that year. This was derailed by the diplomatic efforts of Mr. Putin, who arranged for Syria to become a party to the Chemical Weapons Convention. At that point, further accusations began to mount concerning a purported Syrian bioweapons program. Parenthetically, the US had also falsely accused the former Soviet Union of using biological weapons in Afghanistan, Laos and Cambodia. The yellow rain controversy, as it came to be known, was eventually resolved and the Soviet Union exonerated of the accusations. According to The Future of Biological Weapons Revisited, by Koos van der Bruggen and Barend ter Haar, the lack of a verification protocol is only one issue plaguing the BWC. Other concerns about enforcing compliance remain. The authors also cite concerns that the science going into the production of these sorts of weapons has advanced far beyond the reach of the BWC. In addition, there is a continued and uneasy debate concerning the dual use issue. Put plainly, it is necessary to have the biological agentweaponat hand in order to produce a countermeasure. This purportedly defensive aspect of bioweapons research opens the door, and opens it widely, to offensive capabilities. Hey Buddy, Whatd you do with that vial? Our collective safety depends on a number of factors. The proliferation of labsthere are now over 1350 such research labs in the US alone has resulted in an increasing incidence of accidents. As reported in a 2014 USA Today article, US labs mishandled dangerous biomaterials at least 1100 times between 2008-2012. These are only the reported numbers. As discussed in Kenneth Kings 2010 book, Germs Gone Wild, there have surfaced numerous incidents wherein a lab accident, involving release or illness, was hastily covered up. Richard Ebright, a biosafety expert at Rutgers University, has stated that there are more than four events each week which could be described as a loss or release of bioweapons materials from US labs. Accidents are one concern. Another concern would be events that involve intentional release. The USs Illegal Bioweapons Program The manipulation of false BW assertions by the United States does not end with attempts to invade other countries. Valid questions have arisen as to whether the US is, in fact, engaged in a secret BW program of its own. Information buttressing concerns that the US has, in fact, launched a secret biological weapons program was turned over to the Biological Weapons Convention at the Seventh Review Conference in 2011. This reporter traveled to Geneva in December of 2011 and put this statement on the record. The information provided the delegates, both in the short speech and in subsequent handouts, reflected the following concerns: The text of Section 817, with the problematic portion highlighted, follows: Whoever knowingly violates this section shall be fined as provided in this title, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both, but the prohibition contained in this section shall not apply with respect to any duly authorized United States governmental activity. Following the presentation to the Convention at large, this reporter then contacted officials with Disarmament Affairs at the United Nations, in an effort to turn over further supporting documentation substantiating the allegations that the US has developed a covert delivery system, country wide, for a water-borne BW attack. The documentation contained blueprints of water systems, correspondence with multiple government agencies and more. The response by the officials with Disarmament Affairs was similar to that of someone being subjected to a strong electric current: Shock and aversion. As reported in this reporters summary article from the Convention: Valere Mantels, political officer for the Geneva branch of the UN disarmament affairs, refused to accept further documentation, stating I am not going to burn my hands by turning over documentation to the Secretary General. Peter Kolarov of Disarmament Affairs declined to meet with this reporter, suggesting the documentation be taken to New York (?). UN Political officer, Bantan Nugroho, also of Disarmament Affairs, did agree to a meeting and was handed a stack of relevant documentation. He declined to take action A final meeting with Jarmo Sareva, Director of Disarmament Affairs at the Geneva branch of the United Nations, ended in a stalemate when he informed this reporter, We are neutral. We do not take sides. When it was suggested that neutrality was a concept useful when there was a debate about facts, but here the documentation amassed may have transcended what could be termed a difference of opinion, he mumbled something about how countries might use this information for political purposes. This reporter pushed ahead, stating that we are not talking about missing money here. We are talking about the possible destruction of human life on a nearly unimaginable scale. When Sareva did not respond this reporter terminated the meeting. So much for protecting the world from state- sponsored biological weapons. In the intervening years since the Seventh Review Conference of the BWC, concerns have increased in many sectors that that the US has launched a secret biological weapons program with intent to deploy. One continuing concern revolves around the evasive behavior by the US in terms of reporting its bioweapons activities. The US is mandated by a politically binding agreement to report changes in its bioweapons legislation to the Convention at large. According to Chris Park, Director of Biological Policy with the State Department and a delegate to the BWC, the US forgot to report the changes in the problematic Section 817. That was a fairly big Oops. The changes to the USs biological weapons laws essentially removed the US from compliance with the BWC. The US would therefore have every reason in the world to attempt to obscure this from the Convention members. Concerns that bioweapons may be deployed to specifically devastate pre-selected demographic groups were enhanced in the recent Ebola crisis. Ebola broke out in the areas in which BSLs (biosafety labs) already were in place. There are such labs located in Monrovia, Liberia; Kenema, Sierra Leone; and two in Guinea. These countries were all hit hard with Ebola. Either concurrent accidents or intentional releases could have resulted in the subsequent devastation visited upon these countries by the Ebola virus. Wink Wink, Nod Nod Numerous insiders, with the military, government and vaccine companies, have publicly stated the imminent nature of either a bioweapons attack or a pandemic (how would we know the difference unless we were told?). Those making these predictions include former US Senators Talent and Graham, now of the WMD center in Washington, DC; Dr. Daniel Gerstein Department of Homeland Securitys Deputy Under Secretary for Science Technology; Dr. Robert Kadlec, whose resume includes such high-level positions as Special Assistant To the President and Senior Director/Biodefense Policy, Special Assistant To the President/Homeland Security and Colonel in the USAF; and vaccine manufacturer J. Joseph Kim, to name a few. Most recently, the British newspaper The Guardian joined the choir, abandoning reportage and instead evidencing a gift for prophecy in the following headline: Ebola isnt the big one. So what is? And are we ready for it? At the time this story ran, October 3, 2014, no one else was quite sure that Ebola wasnt the big one. One would wonder when The Guardian began prognosticating In an interview in GQ in 2007, former Secretary of State Colin Powell made the following assertion: What is the greatest threat facing us now? People will say its terrorism. But are there any terrorists in the world who can change the American way of life or our political system? No. Can they knock down a building? Yes. Can they kill somebody? Yes. But can they change us? No. Only we can change ourselves..The only thing that can really destroy us is us. Janet C.

3	FBI Entraps US Citizen Attempting to Join US-funded Al Qaeda in SyriaTony Cartalucci In its article, FBI: Aurora man wanted to join al-Qaida in Syria, the Chicago Tribune would report: Abdella Ahmad Tounisi, a U.S. citizen, was held without bail Saturday after being arrested the night before at OHare International Airport, where he was about to board an airplane to Istanbul, Turkey, FBI officials said in a press release. Bizarre, considering US ally and NATO-member Turkey has hosted thousands of other known terrorists passing through Turkish territory to invade Syria, and even facilitated their activities along with US CIA agents near the Turkish-Syrian border since the conflict in Syria began in 2011. The Chicago Tribune would specifically mention Al Qaedas Syrian franchise, Jahbat al-Nusra: Daoud allegedly drove the Jeep to the target identified by the Tribune as the Cactus Bar Grill at 404 S. Wells St. and walked to an alley a block away, where he pulled a triggering device he thought would explode the vehicle, authorities said. The bomb never exploded and Daoud was apprehended and is being held without bail. FBI officials said that in preparation for last years foiled attack, Tounisi had recommended certain attack techniques, offered ideas about targeting, and researched those locations online to analyze their feasibility. While Daoud allegedly continued his role in the plot, Tounisi backed out in mid-August because he suspected that the person Daoud was working with was an undercover law enforcement officer, according to the complaint. Daoud told the undercover officer that Tounisi wanted to go overseas and join a terrorist group. According to the complaint, hours after Daoud was arrested, Tounisi was interviewed by FBI agents and admitted to assisting Daoud in target selection and acknowledged that he had contemplated traveling to Yemen to carry out jihad. After Daouds arrest, Tounisi allegedly continued to research travel to Syria and terrorist organizations. He also applied for and obtained a new passport, officials said. Perhaps most ironic of all is what Tounisi is being charged with: This is particularly ironic because US Secretary of State John Kerry has just announced an additional $123 million in military aid that is headed directly to this very same foreign terrorist organization, Jahbat al-Nusra and unlike Tounisi, Kerry and his collaborators are not being charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. US is Funding, Arming Jabhat al-Nusra The FBIs bizarre entrapment racket is revealed to be a nationwide operation with multiple patsies being cultivated at any given time, with FBI agents literally running around the country with bombs, weapons, vehicles and would-be terrorists carrying out attacks only to be foiled at the last possible moment. That FBI agents have now arrested a target attempting to join a terrorist group who owes its continued existence in Syria to the US, British, French, Saudi, and Qatari governments, tells the tale of War on Terror out of control inspiring hapless would-be terrorists and real threats alike. While the US maintains that the inception and expansion of Al Qaeda in Syria is merely an unintended consequence of a spontaneous crisis in Syria, it was reported as early as 2007 that the US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel plotted to arm and fund Al Qaeda affiliated sectarian extremists to overthrow the government of Syria in a sectarian-driven bloodbath. In Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hershs 2007 New Yorker article, The Redirection: Is the Administrations new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism? the strategy was described as follows: It is now revealed that the US CIA is working along Syrias borders, funneling cash, equipment, supplies, and thousands of tons of weapons into Syria. It would be these very CIA agents, the FBIs witless patsy, Abdella Ahmad Tounisi, would have passed on his way to slaughter Syrians alongside Jabhat al-Nusra terrorists. The New York Times in their article titled, Arms Airlift to Syria Rebels Expands, With C.I.A. Aid, admits that: The airlift, which began on a small scale in early 2012 and continued intermittently through last fall, expanded into a steady and much heavier flow late last year, the data shows. It has grown to include more than 160 military cargo flights by Jordanian, Saudi and Qatari military-style cargo planes landing at Esenboga Airport near Ankara, and, to a lesser degree, at other Turkish and Jordanian airports. The New York Times piece attempts to spin Americas role in arming militants in Syria. The Times continues by stating: However, this contradicts both documented intentions reported by the New Yorkers Seymour Hersh in 2007, and the strategic realities on the ground in Syria today. While the US claims it is steering weapons away from Islamist groups, the US State Department admits that al-Nusra, (listed by the State Department as a foreign terrorist organization), operates in every major Syrian city, has carried out hundreds of terrorist operations since 2011, and is clearly the most prominent militant group in Syria today. The official US State Department statement announcing al-Nusra as a foreign terrorist organization and an alias of Al Qaeda in Iraq stated: Western media would elaborate on the prominence al-Nusra has achieved in Syrias 2 year-long conflict. The New York Times article Syrian Rebels Tied to Al Qaeda Play Key Role in War, states: While the London Telegraph reports in their article, Syria: how jihadist group Jabhat al-Nusra is taking over Syrias revolution, that: How does the West reconcile admissions it and its regional allies are sending torrents of cash, equipment, supplies, and thousands of tons of weapons to moderates in Syria, with al-Nusras rise in prominence? If the West, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, and Jordan are substantially propping up moderates, who then, is sending even more aid to Al Qaedas al-Nusra? The reality is, there are no moderates, and as stated in Seymour Hershs New Yorker report in 2007, the plan was from the beginning to arm and fund Al Qaeda in Syria to overthrow the Syrian government in a sectarian bloodbath. Statements of steering arms to moderates are crafted for the gullible publics consumption only. That the FBI is arresting entrapped patsies attempting to join al-Nusra in a conflict intentionally perpetuated by the West, while the US State Department and Pentagon openly provide real material aid to the very same foreign terrorists, illustrates the unhinged nature of American domestic and foreign policy. It also depicts a nation out of control, orchestrating an increasingly complex and dangerous militant threat that is creating and inspiring real human suffering, from Boston to Damascus.

2	Woman Mouths Off In Court Room, So No Nonsense Judge Shows Her The True Meaning Of JUSTICE [VIDEO] A new video has gone viral after a judge decided to teach an entitled girl a lesson about the law. Penelope Soto was appearing in front of the judge in Miami, FL for possession of illegal drugs. Immediately, she makes the mistake of laughing and lying to the judge. Even after he reminds her that she isnt a joke, she continues to disrespect the process. At first, the judge fines her $5,000 and tells her to leave the courtroom. As shes leaving, she blatantly insults him. That was a big mistake. Almost instantly judge calls her back and adds on an additional $5,000. The girl responds with a middle finger, which lands her 30 days in prison for contempt. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you support the judge teaching this girl a lesson? 
2	Judge Promises Obama Will Serve 10 Years To Life For This Major Crime At the beginning of this year, President Obama blatantly disregarded Congress when he decided to free five Taliban leaders from the Guantanamo Bay prison. The action has since been viewed as aiding and abetting the enemy, as well as providing them with material support. There are also allegations that the President involved a large sum of cash in the dealall hoping to return army deserter Bowe Bergdahl. Now, the House has opened an investigation into the circumstances leading up to the exchange, believing that it is very likely that several laws were broken. These laws would land citizens in prison for years, and Americans wonder how it will affect the president. According to Fox News Senior Judicial Analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano, even if Obama had made the decision to involve Congress, his actions till would have been illegal. The statue requiring the 30 days notice prohibits the use of taxpayer dollars, or federal funds, to pay for the removal of anybody from Gitmo, the judge claimed. The other unlawful behavior is far more problematic for the President, and that is the argument that by releasing these guys into the theater of war that is the Middle East, he has provided material assistance to a terrorist organizationFederal statute makes it a crime, punishable by 10 years in jail, up to life in prison, for materially aiding a terrorist organization. The judge also confirmed that he believes the President did provide material assistance, but he doubts Obama will be prosecuted by Attorney General Eric Holder. What do you think? Should Obama be punished for his crimes? 
2	Ted Cruz Launches Massive Attack At Trump But Then THIS Happens Trump initiated an intense attack on Ted Cruz earlier this week, calling him nasty and unlikable. Now Ted Cruz is firing away, and hes not holding anything back. Cruz put together a series of clips of Trump talking about Hillary, and actually SUPPORTING her. We dont know what to think. Social media has been going crazy over this. Some people are turning on Trump, others are loyal for life. We still support him for president. Just months ago, these candidates were friendly and close. Now, things have taken a huge turn. It makes sense, seeing that they are fighting for the Republican nomination. Do you support Trump or Cruz? 
1	One week after the Colts upset the Green Bay Packers in his honor, leukemia-stricken head coach Chuck Pagano was reportedly annoyed after they lost 35-9 to the New York Jets on Sunday, expressing frustration over his team failing to win a second game for him. That win last week was one of the proudest moments of my coaching career, a visibly weakened Pagano said from his bed at Indiana Universitys Simon Cancer Center. But, I mean, was that it? One game? Its not like my cancer went away after one unexpectedly strong showing. It would have been really inspiring the second time. This is cancer were talking about, he added. Shouldnt they be trying to win five or six games for me? Its not like Im out with the flu. Pagano, who confirmed he watched the game from his hospital room, expressed disappointment that his team wasnt playing harder for him, and said that by the way they were running around the field, it seemed as if they had assumed that only one win for a cancer-stricken coach was enough. Medical personnel attending Pagano said he was dismayed that his sickness had not galvanized players to win just one more measly game. Mr. Pagano kept saying he kind of thought his cancer might inspire his team to go on a four- or five-game winning streak that got more and more uplifting with every game, said nurse Theresa Hernandez, urging reporters to give the Colts coach some time to rest because hes been very morose this week. I cant say I blame him. I mean, your coach is battling a life-threatening disease, and you go out and throw two picks and get sacked four times? Cmon, [Andrew] Luck, try and tell me hes in your thoughts and prayers with a performance like that. Hospital officials said Pagano is receiving the best care possible from some of the nations finest oncologists, adding that its more than we can say he is receiving from a defensive line thats supposed to be the strength of this Colts team. Overall, doctors said, the prognosis for Pagano remains relatively positive, but the coachs mood turned grim while pondering how the Colts defense could allow 252 rushing yards against the Jets at a time when his white blood cell count is through the roof. The doctors say Im responding well to treatments, but what Im not responding well to is Shonn fucking Greene looking like a Pro Bowler against my defense, said Pagano, pausing to calm himself down and regain his strength. A little chemo I can handle just fine, but Mark Sanchez posting a 109 QB rating? You want to talk about things that make me sick, well, there you go. It was Mark fucking Sanchez, for Christ sake, Pagano added. Pagano has stated on numerous occasions that the Green Bay win only encouraged him to fight harder and work his way back to coaching, but just one week later, much of that progress has reportedly been undone, leaving Pagano to question what hes fighting for. With 1-5 Cleveland coming into town, the Colts have a chance to send their coach a message that hopefully gets him eating and communicating more than he has been during the past week. I dont know, Pagano said while staring out his hospital window, showing signs of dejection on his face. Those guys just rolled over so easily against an opponent that everybody said was beatable. Did they forget that I have cancer or something? Is that why they played with such lack of heart? It just gets you thinking, I guess, Pagano added. Maybe thats easier. 
2	Hillary Forced To Cancel Public Appearance After THIS Happens Recently, The New York Times featured a photo of Hillary Clinton being welcomed to an early voting site in Pompano Beach, Florida. Those present say she didnt stay too long at her rally. She was apparently shell-shocked when she was greeted by Trump signs and people chanting Lock Her Up! A social media user with the name of Salty Dad shared the story from a police escort on his Facebook account: Anyone who follows this page will tell you that I painstakingly source my information. When I am wrong, I publicly admit it and post a retraction. That accuracy is one of the reasons that people follow this page. I have personally verified this screenshot, taken from a Facebook post (No, I will not post a screenshot of anything but the text. I do not want someone to get disciplined.) It looks like things have gotten so bad for Hillary Clinton that she is bailing on her own rallies. Americans are finally starting to demand that the ruling class be held to the same standards as the peasants. If anyone has video of this event, please PM this page. He then attached a screenshot reading as follows: So we just finished up another escort for Hillary Clinton. When we arrived at the venue which was the Pompano Beach Amphitheater, there were so many people chanting lock her up she refused to exit her vehicle and left the venue. This is the person people want to elect to face our enemies around the world and she wont even face a crowd in her own Country. What do you think? Is Hillary Clinton unfit to be president? 
2	Glenn Beck Comes Forward With SHOCKING Secret About Fox News, No Wonder He Left... Conservative Glenn Beck, former host of Fox News, came forward earlier this week giving us insight into why he left in the first place. The reason why is more than a little unsettling. Many will take Beck for his word, while others will call him a liar. Beck spoke at an event hosted by Ted Cruz in South Carolina, where he told the audience that Fox News had told him to stop telling people to pray. He continued on after saying, I swore I was never going to tell this story. Heres one of the real reasons I left Fox News, he said. I was called into an office and I was told, Stop talking about God. I was told, Stop telling people to pray. I was told not to tell people to pray on their knees because theres a lot of people in the audience, their knees hurt and I make them feel bad. He finished by saying that Fox News motive to tell him this was because it takes Gods focus off the important things like war. If what hes saying is true, Fox News has just gone down a notch in our book. Do are for Glenn Beck or Fox News? 
3	TSA Harasses Bitcoiner: Traveler Suspected of Carrying BitcoinWe Are Change 
1	Saying his struggle was illustrative of how our economic system has failed countless hardworking Americans over the past 20 years, Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina shared a heartbreaking story at Tuesday nights GOP primary debate about a father of three who simply couldnt meet his sales goals. I met a man in Palo Alto, California by the name of Roger, a family man with three young daughters who worked his whole life to do his best and take care of them, but he lost a good tech-sector job after coming up less than a hundred units shy of his Q2 sales benchmarkhis livelihood, his sense of security disappeared just like that, said Fiorina, who explained how she would never forget the sad, desperate look in the mans eyes as he told her how he worried about exhausting his savings and asked her if there was anything she could do for him. And these stories are all too common. Over the years, Ive met many people just like Roger, who did the best they could every day, only to have the rug swept out from under them when, through no fault of their own, their company entered disastrous mergers with other industry giants, labeled them as redundant, and sent them packing. How can workers get ahead in a system rigged like that? Fiorina then blasted her opponents for being out of touch with the middle class, saying she was the only candidate who had met face-to-face with 30,000 regular Americans who had fallen on hard times. 
1	In a further sign that the sluggish economic recovery continues to pose a challenge to the nations workforce, a report published Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Labor revealed that a growing number of Americans have had to resort to collaborating on songs with Cuban-American rapper Pitbull in order to make ends meet. The paper, which attributed its findings to stagnant wages and lackluster job growth, confirmed that many poor and middle-class Americans have little choice but to pick up additional work with the chart-topping recording artist, often by contributing backing vocals, writing lyrics, producing Latin-infused beats, or repeatedly shouting the name Pitbull in studio sound booths as a means of providing for their families in this challenging economic climate. Since the stock market crash and housing sector collapse in 2008, weve seen a staggering increase in the number of Americans who are putting in long, demanding hours behind the mixing console with hip-hop sensation Pitbull, said economist Jared Coan, lead author of the report. While in decades past a single salary was enough to support a family of four, we are now finding that many breadwinners, out of financial necessity, are seeking out additional work laying down guest verses on dance-rap studio tracks like Timber or any one of a number of its club mixes. Most of these people are working a full day at their 9-to-5 jobs and then heading right into the RCA Records studio to program electronic drums for a PitbullRick Ross collaboration until the early morning, Coan continued. Then, if theyre lucky, they have time to grab a couple hours of sleep before waking up the next day and doing it all over again. Faced with mounting credit card debt, surging health care costs, and in many cases pricey college tuition for their children, citizens across the country are feeling compelled to supplement their take-home pay by joining Pitbullalso known as Mr. Worldwideon recording dates and the occasional live performance on the Planet Pit World Tour, Coan said. Specifically, survey data indicate that tens of thousands of Americansfrom cashiers and food service workers, to those in formerly solid middle-class jobs, like automotive workers and insurance salespeoplehave to juggle their day jobs with playing claves on a Spanish-language version of Hotel Room Service, spitting freestyle bars alongside guest hip-hop artists such as Flo Rida and T-Pain, and gesticulating toward the camera while filming a music video for I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho) or Maldito Alcohol. Furthermore, the report found that many single parents are having to balance their family obligations with the financial necessity of working late nights arranging diss tracks directed against Lil Wayne just to put food on the table, a trend that Coan called all too typical in the current economy. Over the past seven years, weve seen a steady decline in real median household income in the United States, which corresponds with an equally sharp rise in the number of Americans finding samples for bouncing, house-music-inspired dance hall songs, such as Dont Stop the Party or all the singles off the Meltdown EP, Coan said. And given that rent payments and food and transportation costs have only risen, it appears these individuals will simply have to continue putting in full days at one job and then immediately don white linen suits and open-collar dress shirts so they can shoot a Bud Light commercial alongside Pitbull and his entourage. When surveyed, most Americans confirmed they had few economic options, and stated that rapping alongside Pitbull was simply something they had to do to scrape by. However, many pointed to the unfulfilling and arduous nature of their efforts, with only a small minority of the respondents saying they receive health insurance or producer credits for their exhausting work with the Latin-American hip-hop artist. Between my job at a home improvement store, painting houses on the weekends, and shouting Miami Beach through an Auto-Tune filter until Im hoarse, Im barely keeping my head above water, said 42-year-old Michael Erickson of Scottsdale, AZ, who noted that hes grateful to even have the opportunity to pick up a handful of hours with Pitbull every week given the amount of musical collaboration work that lately has gone to overseas workers or Pharrell. Clocking out of my regular job at 5 and then flying off to Las Vegas to serve as Pitbulls hype man at the Billboard Music Awards isnt easy, but its just a sacrifice I have to make if I have any chance of paying off my mortgage. Its hardI come home late every night soaked in champagne and Im just too exhausted to spend time with my kids, he continued. But the fact is that Im doing this so that someday they wont have to. 
2	Obama To Appear In Court After Americas Toughest Sheriff Files Suit As many of you may already know, Obama has just recently ordered the Justice Department to investigate Sheriff Joe for abuses of power. Americas toughest sheriff has been extremely vocal against Obama on many controversial issues. Sheriff Joe has now decided to fight back, filing suit against Obama for his unconstitutional acts. Specifically, Joe has decided to sue Obama over his recently announced illegal immigration policy, where Obama proclaimed over 5 million illegal immigrants will be given amnesty. This unconstitutional act by the President will have a serious detrimental impact on my caring out the duties and responsibilities for which I am encharged as Sheriff, Arpaio says. Specifically, it will severely strain our resources, both in manpower and financially, necessary to protect the citizens I was elected to serve. For instance, among the many negative affects 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. Do you support Sheriff Joe suing Obama? Let us know in the comments below!

3	U.S., Turkey Joint Operation Designed To Save ISIS, Not Destroy ItBy Brandon Turbeville This Hail Mary appears to be coming in the form of an attempt to secure the Safe Zone area discussed and agreed upon by the Turks and the United States in the past under the guise of fighting ISIS and protecting moderate rebels and civilians. In reality, however, the Safe Zone is nothing but a trafficking corridor for ISIS and other related terrorist organizations supported by NATO, financed by the GCC, and funneled through Turkey into Syria. It is for this reason that the U.S. and Turkey have announced an agreement to shut off Turkeys border with Syria as part of a joint military operation. In an interview with CNN, U.S. Secretary of State and Skull and Bones member John Kerry stated, The entire border of northern Syria 75 percent of it has now been shut off. And we are entering an operation with the Turks to shut off the other remaining 98 kilometers. Kerry did not elaborate as to what form the operation would take or when it would take place. He also neglected to mention whether or not U.S. troops would be deployed in order to take part in the operation. Turkish officials have hinted at the possibility of some type of imminent military operation occurring, with Foreign Minister Feridun Sinirlioglu stating that a new military operation against Daesh may take place in a matter of days. Deputy Minister Numan Kurtulmus, however, stated that no ground operation was planned. Of course, the dimensions of the territory in the crosshairs of this joint military operation between Turkey and the United States are immensely important. The Kurds have seized and now maintain control of an area that spans the Turkey-Syria border from its western to eastern extremities all except for one small pocket in the middle from Jarablus in the East to Dabiq in the West. Others have described the zone in slightly different dimensions as being from Jarablus in the East to Afrin in the East. Regardless, this corridor, also known as a safe zone, is about the exact dimensions of the ISIS supply lines coming in from Turkey to Syria and, if either the Syrian military or the Kurds were able to capture this small section of land on the border, ISIS supply lines would be entirely cut from the North. With Assads forces tightening their grip in the South and Southwestern portions of the country and the SAA/Hezbollah forces cracking down on any ISIS movements on the Syria-Lebanon border, and most notably the Russian bombing campaign aiding the Syrian military in retaking full control of Aleppo and other parts of northern Syria, ISIS would essentially be cut off from most avenues of outside assistance. It is thus important to note that the Syrian military had nearly reached the Euphrates river when the terror attacks in Paris took place. It is for this reason the threat the Kurds pose to ISIS that Turkey has engaged in such a heavy bombing campaign against the Kurds, alongside an alleged campaign against ISIS, the latter campaign being one that is questionable to say the least. Remember, the American airstrikes against ISIS have largely targeted Syrian infrastructure and civilian areas. In those areas where ISIS has been struck, it has been nothing more than an exercise in death squad herding. The ISIL-Free Zone should be renamed the ISIL Free Range Zone since it is nothing more than a hedge of protection set up over the terrorists with the United States and Turkey once again acting as the ISIS Air Force. This zone, now under the protection of NATO forces will then be used as a Forward Operating Base for terrorism deeper inside the country as Turkey unilaterally bombs the Kurds away from territory they currently hold. Earlier this month, the Kurds launched an assault on that corridor, threatening to close the last supply route for ISIS that exists in the north. Indeed, not only one of the last, it is the main lifeline for the terrorist organization supported by the West. On November 7, Webster Tarpley and the Tax Wall Street party wrote in their Daily Briefing that Resistance to this urgently needed policy will inevitably come from Erdogan of Turkey. Tarpley and the TWSP cited a report by Aaron Stein of War on the Rocks, which stated, Turkey has made one thing very clear: It will not tolerate a YPG presence west of the Euphrates, and will therefore not accept a Kurdish-led offensive on the ISIS-held city of Jarablus, or any YPG-led effort to unite its territory with the Kurdish-controlled enclave in Efrin in northwestern Syria. In the days before the election, the Turkish military fired upon YPG forces trying to cross the Euphrates, ostensibly to shore up their front line with the Islamic State. Turkey has long feared the creation of a Kurdistan in Northern Syria, particularly because the creation of such an entity would not only inflame the tensions between the Turkish Kurds and the Turkish government but would essentially carve out a good portion of Turkish territory. With the establishment of a Kurdistan virtually anywhere in the region but especially on the Turkish border or in Turkey itself, Erdogans foolish dreams of being the new Ottoman emperor will fade away. For that reason, the Turks are in no way going to assist in the sealing of Turkeys border with Syria by the Kurds. Considering the reports coming from media outlets friendly to the Turkish government and the propaganda being spouted by Erdogans stooges in the Turkish ruling party, it is the Kurds who are considered the great enemy of Turkish civilization (meaning Erdogans delusions of grandeur) and not ISIS. With the growing awareness of the importance of the Jarablus corridor amongst researchers, observers, and the interested national parties, the recent Turkish/U.S. joint military operation agreement stands as a last ditch effort to solidify the ISIS/NATO presence in Syria. By engaging troops and military hardware over the safe zone of the Jarablus corridor, NATO will be able to ensure that ISIS supplies and soldiers continue to pour into Syria unabated. By placing NATO interests in the midst of the corridor and declaring the zone a safe zone the hope is that the Russians will see the zone as off limits. At that point, the real question becomes just how long the Russians and the SAA can avoid their own attacks on the Jarablus corridor before they realize that the inability to do so is merely prolonging the war and is ultimately a losing strategy. Once that realization is made, the question will become whether or not the Russians and the SAA will attack the zone despite the NATO presence. The answer to that question is one that is deeply important to us all. Image Credit Brandon Turbeville article archive here is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

The west does not care how many sacrificial lambs there are as long as they can come up with a plan to protect their invested interests in Syria (McCains ISIS troopers). Sheeple think these things only happen in the movies that is how far the wool has been pulled over their eyes by the western MSM. The West has an amish problem. The plan was also to have EU borders closed, so the US can maintain its Sovereignty over it, but it appears Merkel hasnt read the script. If this mass migration leads to UK leaving, the EU dream and US control fails and their One World Government with it as the EU collapses! There is no way the UK are allowed to leave the EU superstate. Just as Scotlsh people were fooled by thecaring speeches made by man of the people Cameron, so will others on an in or out referendum. If not the figures will be fudged. Nothing can stop the nwo except mass awakening. If the UK leaves the EU, nothing can stop them .. the same with other member states who want to leave or if not a member, not join. The EUs in deep trouble anyway; so, dont be surprised that those who want to abandon ship do so. ISIS are vermin but too many commentators separate them from the vermin western establishments which created them to commit atrocities the US, Israel, the UK and France for a start. ALL vermin. The USAF is a disgusting criminal organization that LET the 911 attackers attack America,that bombs hospitals and now supports worldwide terrorism. SHAME on the USAF! some orders shouldnt be followed Everyone in the military works for civilian leaders like ObamaTheTurd and John Kerry they obey orders. The Air Force didnt allow the 911 attacks civilian leadership did. Also if youre talking about the DWB hospital then shame on you. That hospital wasnt properly marked and moved civilian patients out and filled those beds with Taliban fighters. DWB isnt innocent and havent been for decades now. Those two lapdogs look like they are in a trance. Snap out of it, both of you! Most of us know this already. This ridiculous bickering and fighting with ourselves over who knows the broken playbook better is completely useless. WHO CARES. YOU ARE IMPRESSING NO ONE ON YOUR WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE CORRUPTION. STOP TALKING ABOUT IT AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. So big mouth what is your plan If you have to ask, it means you dont know, although not surprised, too many are preoccupied with facebook, phones and reality tv to have any common sense. Arrests, incarceration and convictions, but Im sure youll find an excuse to cower away from anything like that. Just keep checking your phoneit will tell you what to do. If I was still in the U.S.Armed Service, I would ask for Sub-mariner duty. Best and safest place to be. More and more people are switched on. desperate people do desperate actions. It does matter how media outlets board cast the propaganda. I read last night that Russia has agreed to give OB notice when and where they are going to drop their bombs and missiles ahead of the action!! BIG MISTAKE.. That will give OB and Turkey the time to WARN their ISIS pets to clear those areas before Russia attacks Probably because of Israeli operatives being in those targets.it wouldnt shock me if American ops were in them too I remember the first Gulf war clearly. Those Iraqi fighters looked like tiny ants running away. No, I think the observations and perceptions you have listed are based on sound logic and truth regardless of what is popular. That in my mind is not opinion. What is opinion for most americans is dictated to them by MSM. Keep planting the seeds of truth. Carpe Diem Thank you CS, Maybe, but SAA gains on the ground cannot be faked. I have noticed that another thing you never see is a Russian bomb actually hitting the target. exactly what they did to enable terrorists in Libya..how can Americans be so STUPID to support a safe zone? Its NOT Americans, its the US government. Two very different entities. Americans are sick of ALL this bovine excrement. Go Russia!! Get the job done! The only positive thing I can find that Turkey has ever done, was to allow Winchester to manufacture shotguns there. Probably true LOL!!! Wrestling and Rugs? The Turks are being led by a muslim brotherhood member and is part of the problems in the Middle East. So they can shut off borders. Meanwhile Americas invaded straight through its military bases! It is sad to see what America has become. A negro sodomite mahoo nation. Just like the traitorous leader it bows too. I cannot wait to hear from the 50 SF operators when they finally talk. They know theyre there so Russia wont bomb ObamaTheTurds supposedly moderate muslims, thats right human shields. Turkey is a big part of this problem because their President is thinking about another Ottoman Empire which isnt going to happen. Egypt has a bigger role to play and Im sure theyll wait until ObamaTheTurd leaves office, if they can, before they move. So it is more WW3 bait for the Russkies. Just as suspected. Idiot Putin should have stayed out. Africa for Africans! Isnt it interesting we will conduct a joint operation with Turkey to close its border, but will do nothing to close our own porous border? Off topic but today I went to my local shopping centre (Epping Plaza) in the Northern suburbs of Melbourne to find a Jericho (illegal settlement compay from occupied Palestine) trading away happily. Banned in Europe and in NZ too, but not here. Are there any like minded Melbournians here that would like to join a peaceful, but no less confronting BDS movement? Who created and finances/ supplies ISIS? Who is providing medical care for ISIS in the border regions? Who is ISIS not attacking? Its too obvious. ISIS is an essential tool of the Greater Israel Project. 
2	Seattle Quarterback Russell Wilson Destroys Colin Kaepernick... He Is A True Patriot For years now, quarterback Russell Wilson has stood out as a great athlete and a man of God. The Seahawks player has made a name for himself both on and off the field. Not only has he seen Super Bowl victories, but he spends his free time visiting children in hospitals, volunteering at football camps, and setting a good example for others. He also gained attention for practicing sexual abstinence before marrying singer Ciara. Recently, Wilson was asked about Colin Kaepernick sit-in during the National Anthem in protest of the oppression of minorities in this country. This is how he responded: For me, I love the flag. I love the National Anthem because its an emotional time for me because Im so grateful I get to play on the football field. And every time I get to put my hand on my heart, its truly an honor you know, the military, for me I think about my family members who have served, and friends I train down in San Diego all the time, so Im around the Navy and I see those guys around. And all they do for our country and the people in Afghanistan and all these people fighting. 9/11, for example, coming up thats going to be our first game and I think about all the pain from that. So thats why I stand and put my hand on my heart. I do think theres always issues in our country. I think ultimately it comes back to love. Like I said to you guys before, it comes back to loving one another and appreciating one another. Understanding that were not perfect but we need to be equal. And thats from the black community, from the white community, thats from police officers to everybody to all of our military to everybody that we get to recognize and see have great appreciation for what this country is based on and what it should be based on. It should be based on equality. It should be based on people having freedom of speech people can have that decision. And so, I understand what (Kaepernicks) doing. But at the same time for me, I can also think about where we need to go and where our thoughts need to be. It needs to be about love, about caring about one another. And thats for every community, every situation, every socio-economic status. What do you think of Wilsons comments? 
1	Members of the Morris family reported that after two margaritas at the Hilton Island Resort bar on Saturday, mom Helen Morris reached the level of intoxication necessary to don her bathing suit. The 48-year-old announced her intention to get the family fun time underway by going down to the hotel's indoor pool, saying she didn't give a wet fig who was looking. 'Okay, I'm ready!' said Morris, stepping out of the bathroom. 'Let's go have some fun!' Without even a towel to cover her midsection during the journey from hotel room to pool area, the slightly tipsy Morris spent 20 minutes swimming and another 10 in the hot tub, after which she reportedly returned to her room to sleep it off. 
3	Shadow Forces Behind GovernmentSARTRE, Contributor In the essay, There Is No Conspiracy Only Official Policy provides a study in power politics when a banana republic dares defy the moneychangers. The lesson for world leaders is you dont cross the masters of power. But for Americans it is that a world run by the IMF never benefits us, the people. The enactment of the FTAA is just one more element in the grand scheme of global rule. There is no need to dapple in extraordinary theories; it is all in the open for everyone to see. The policy is clear the nations of the world are mere colonies to the interests of the ruling elites. Citizens of countries and their elected leaders are mere subjects of the international community. Not exactly the revered Republic that we all owe allegiance, is it? The pattern of retribution against any tin horn leaders that refuse to succumb to the boot of the World Bank or the IMF is in plain sight. Just ask the mutilated and deceased Muammar al-Gaddafi for testimony of the enforcement treatment one can expect for opposing the world financial plutocracy. While the imperium empire of drone warfare, targets governments that oppose the global hegemony, the behind-the-screens discord among varied vying factions often goes unnoticed. The Constitution Society sees the nature of The Shadow Government differently from most popular interpretations of the power elite. Some of the best indications that the Shadow Government is not centered in the financial sector are the things it has to do to finance itself. Shadow Government is expensive. We can identify the main sources of its revenue: (1) Black budgets. This is the core of its operations, but is not enough to secure its control over the country and the world. (2) Drug trade. It has seized control of the major part of the illegal traffic in addictive substances, in part by using the organs of law enforcement to eliminate competition, and by gaining control of the money and the ways it gets re-introduced into the economy. (3) Raiding financial institutions. This is what was done with the SLs, and is being done, more slowly, with the banks. It involves several aspects: diversion of the funds, seizure of smaller institutions by a few large ones under Shadow Government control, with the seizure financed by the taxpayers, and acquisition under distressed prices of the assets of those institutions, many of which are well-positioned business enterprises that give the Shadow Government both control of the key enterprises in most business sectors and sources of revenue. The Savings Loan raid was used to finance a major expansion of the Shadow Government. However, it is not a method that can be repeated. (4) Public authorities. These are quasi-governmental enterprises that control substantial assets, often taxpayer-subsidized, without effective accountability. They include housing, port, energy, water, transportation, and educational authorities. To this might also be added various utilities, and both public and publicly-regulated private monopolies, like local telephone and cable companies. They are also a major source of government contracts. (5) Government contracts. Major source of diverted funds, but must often be shared with others involved. (6) Arms trade. Another major source of funds, both direct and diverted. But requires payoffs to local officials. What this viewpoint ignores is that the tactics of subversive operations frequently demand undercover execution and plausible deniability. The methods of covert operations conducted by black bag operatives avoid the question: Who really controls the intelligence agencies? It is a fatal error to reject the prevalent role of the money center institutions and central banks in the unified network of financial control and global integration. A more perceptive breakdown by Richard Boylan Ph.D. offers a structural analysis of the secret shadow government. In the Shadow Government five branches may be identified. These branches are: the Executive Branch, the Intelligence Branch, the War Department, the Weapons Industry Branch, and the Financial Department. An analysis of the overall purposes of these five branches suggests that the overall purpose of the Shadow Government is to exercise covert control by: 1. Collecting comprehensive institutional and personal information. 2. By establishing national and international policy independently of the established Government. 3. By developing high-tech arms and equipment, and, with these, establishing small, specialized, highly mobile, elite military units to effect these covert policies, when need arises, without having to rely on the official (and unreliable) Armed Services, (whose subservience to the Shadow Government is reasonably suspect). 4. By developing an armed capability to repel any threat to the status quo, (including the uncertain ontological, social, and economic impacts of any revelation of the reality of UFO and extraterrestrial presence) through the development of a Star Wars/BMDO ground and space-based surveillance and SDI weapons network. 5. By denying information compromising to the Shadow Government from all those outside need-to-know policy-making levels. 6. By exercising control on the money supply, availability of credit, and the worth of money, through policy decisions made outside of the official Government. The essential political planetary threat that faces humanity is rooted in the globalist drive to accelerate their NWO plans for a neo-colonial feudal hierarchy. The New World Order Feudal Enslavement System outlines the plot. However, the elements that comprise the surreptitious functions and assignments of shadow government missions need to maintain a clandestine secrecy to be effective. Stealth practices often foster perpetual public ignorance. Contrast this with maybe the best example of the most visible globalist institution that is used by the shadow elites as their private administration tool for worldwide compliance. The John Birch video U.N. and the United States | John F. McManuspresents the argument that Americanism is incompatible with the international community of collectivists that the United Nations is based upon. The interminable public feuding in General Assembly sessions are sheer spectacle for the uninformed. The real dirty work is done behind the scenes through coerced implementation of programs like Agenda 21. The best way to come out of the shadows is to strip back the curtain. Effectiveness dictates that the banksters and corporatists use the dark art of intrigue and subterfuge to manipulate the systems of governance, which they put in place, to serve their own interests. The destruction of the unique American experiment falls upon the treason of the ruling class. Human Depravity, James Madison, and The Founding Fathersexplains the nature of the existential internal threat that destroyed the essence of the old Republic. Madison wrote: If we were all like angels, blameless and freely able to exercise perfect control, we would not need rules or regulations. Why, then, do we have so many laws and statutes? Because of mans wickedness, for he is constantly overflowing with evil; this is why a remedy is required. When the shadow government usurps the stated original limited authorities and separations of powers, the citizens of the country are relegated to a menu entree on the feasting table of the power elites. The globalism agenda is the objective of the shadow government. Participants need not be spooks or machinates. Those who influence the operations of the sub-rosa establishment may wear the garb of Illuminati or use the signals of secret societies, but most are pure button down internationalists. The populace is viewed as useless eaters to the elites, who labor to drive a wedge between government and the ordinary man. The privileged oligarchs see themselves as the ennobled in the entitlement enslavement society of their creation. Keeping the masses dependent until the ultimate elimination of dissenters is the objective. The specter of the shadow government has always been part of the inner conflict for national integrity. The difference at this time is that it is all pervasive. The United States has become a global empire designed to impose an internationalist monetary yoke around the neck of subservient serfs. Less we forget . . . For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

1	In what Major League Baseball officials are calling a 'long overdue correction of a gross oversight,' Commissioner Bud Selig announced Tuesday the discovery that Hall of Famer Hank Aaron had in fact accumulated 50 previously unaccounted-for home runs during his illustrious 22-year baseball career, bringing his once record total of 755 to an even higher 805 and putting the all-time home-run record perhaps forever out of reach. Hank Aaron hits one of the 12 home runs he tallied during the 1973-1/2 season. 'Hank Aaron is a hero, an excellent man, and a great ambassador for the game of baseball,' Selig said during a press conference to announce the findings. 'We're proud to have finally set things right, hopefully once and for all. And I have to tell you, some of the home runs that we discovered were just monster shots. One was hit off of [Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher] Harvey Haddix that went 576 feet, and Hank wasn't even that big of a guy. Just naturally strong and gifted, I guess.' Haddix was unavailable for comment, as he passed away in 1994. According to Selig, a committee of sports journalists and baseball historians was set up during the off-season to investigate, with Selig's oversight, whether there was any substance to a rumor that began circulating last summer concerning Aaron having hit more homeruns than those credited to him in the record books. Though Selig said he couldn't recall the date the committee was established, he believes it was in or around the time he approved the San Francisco Giants' highly publicized signing of Barry Zito. The committee's 30-page report points out several key factors that combined to increase Aaron's home run total. For example, in 1958, home runs hit during both the first week of spring training and those hit in pre-game batting practice during away games in the third week of August were added to a player's career numbers. In addition, home runs hit during the 1971 All-Star Game should have been tallied. Aaron, coincidentally, did hit a home run in that game. 'We are here today to the right the wrongs,' Selig said. 'This is America's national pastime, and its players, fans, and all citizens deserve to have a record book in which they can take great pride. So if we didn't count Hank Aaron's five-homer outing during 1964's famous 'Empty Stadium' game, I wouldn't be able to live with myself.' Furthermore, the report continued, a third of the home runs hit by players who participated in the television series Home Run Derby, a show on which Aaron appeared several times, should have been counted. In addition, during the second half of the 1962 season, balls that bounced over the outfield fence should have been counted as home runs, and foul balls that were hit behind the batter but cleared the netting intended to protect fans seated behind home plate were also home runs. That being the case, league scorekeepers now say Aaron had his best year in 1962, hitting 65 home runs20 more than originally thought. Though there has been some negative reaction towards the announcement of Aaron's new record, mostly from fans in northern California, the news has been received very well nationwide. 'This is the best thing that has happened to baseball in years,' said New York resident Tom Plaitano, 63. 'I remember watching Hank Aaron as a kid, and even though I don't recall a time when all home runs hit off Sandy Koufax counted for two, I don't really care. This decision just makes sense to me.' 'The number 805 will go down as the most prestigious number in sports,' said Selig, adding that there is a strong possibility still more of Aaron's home runs could come to the surface during this season, and maybe even the next several seasons to come. 'It's not out of the question that Hank could have, say, 900 home runs by the time our investigation is all said and done.' 'Either way, the all-time home-run record couldn't be held by a more dignified and honorable man,' Selig added. The committee's report has caused quite a shakeup to the list of baseball's all-time home-run leaders. Aaron, while keeping his record, is not even the biggest benefactor of the findings; as of now Aaron is first with 805, Willie Mays has jumped to second with 800, Frank Robinson is third with 798, Harmon Killebrew is fourth with 797, and Reggie Jackson, Mickey Mantle, Ernie Banks, Ted Williams, and Willie McCovey are tied for fifth at 796. According to Selig, early results of another investigation may net Babe Ruth as many as 74 additional home runs, Mike Schmidt an estimated 124, and Ken Griffey Jr. a possible 200, while players such as Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro, and Barry Bonds will probably be knocked even further down the list. 
3	The hypnotic power of germ propagandaJon Rappoport Time and time again, over the years, we hear about new germs and old germs and mystery germs that are afflicting people, suddenly, in various parts of the world. And this news is met with nearly universal faith. Yes, there must be a germ. It must be whats making people ill. When researchers speak about the germ, they are correct and truthful. Really? Why? Who said so? I took my first serious germ-foray, when I was writing my book,AIDS Inc., in 1987. To my shock, I discovered that, even by the conventional rules of disease-causation, there was no reason to infer that something called HIV was causing something called AIDS. Going a step further, I investigated every so-called high-risk group and found non-germ causes that accounted for all the symptoms of what was being called AIDS. Without HIV as the lynchpin welding all these risk-groups together, AIDS was immune-system failure resulting from a variety of causes. Not one cause. For example: T-cells are significant troops in the immune-system army. The biggest reason for T-cell depletion on the planet? Malnutrition. The last time I looked, malnutrition is not a germ. AIDS Inc. is replete with illustrations of germ-touting that turn out to be irrelevant. But people are fascinated by germ-stories. They love them, they fear them, they add their own wrinkles, they behave as if theyre in a theater watching a horror movie. When the dreaded SARS epidemic made global headlines in 2003, the germ was the coronavirus. Of course, SARS turned out to be a dud. As a horror movie, it didnt deliver. Too few people died. Frank Plummer, a Canadian microbiologist working for the World Health Organization, achieved a few moments of honesty when he told reporters that, strangely enough, he was seeing fewer people with SARS who had the coronavirus. Eventually, Plummer said, almost none of the people being diagnosed with SARS had the coronavirus. Which is exactly like saying, Theyre all suffering from disease X, except none of them have what causes disease X. A contradiction. Garble. Gibberish. Six years later, in 2009, there was the fabled Swine Flu H1N1 pandemic, another dud. Sharyl Attkisson, writing for CBS, and Peter Doshi, writing at BMJ Online, exposed the Swine Flu fraud: most people across the US who were likely Swine Flu cases didnt have the H1N1 virus. Thats what lab tests revealed. Obviously, for both SARS and Swine Flu, doctors were making eyeball diagnoses based on typical flu symptoms. The public wrongly believes that, when doctors and medical bureaucrats say there is an outbreak of a virus, accurate tests are being done on every patient to confirm the presence of the virus. Because tests arent being done (or because the tests arent accurate and relevant), its the easiest thing in the world to take numbers of sick people who display very general similar symptomsand claim all these people have the same disease caused by the same germ. In the fall of 2009, during the Swine Flu crisis, Sharyl Attkisson was shut down at CBS. Her investigation was drilling too deep. She revealed that the CDC had stopped counting the number of Swine Flu cases in America. Scandal. The sole federal agency tasked with keeping an accurate and updated count had ceased doing its job. Why? The answer was obvious. As Attkisson reported, the overwhelming number of lab tests on Americans who were suspected of having Swine Flu were coming back negative. The tests showed no sign of the H1N1 virus, the supposed cause of Swine Flu. It was even worse than that. Those tests couldnt find evidence of any type of flu virus. Back up and think about that. One of the consequences: even for people who believed in flu vaccines, there was a huge and embarrassing problem. How could these vaccines make a difference if what was being called the flu wasnt flu at all? To which many people would respond: I dont understand. If people are sick, the cause has to be a germ. No. There are many reasons for illness. The movie is designed to prey on peoples fears, while also stimulating a fascination for The Virus, the tiny, invisible, diabolical force at work. Achieving both objectives is how the directors of that horror movie earn their living. Its how they make people into believers who flock to The Church of the Virus.

1	In a gesture of encouragement toward the millions of Americans struggling to find work in a difficult job market, the U.S. Department of Labor told employment seekers today not to forget about the tons of dumbfucks out there. Speaking at a morning press conference, department officials stressed that while there are still many more job applicants than job openings, those in need of work should take comfort in the knowledge that the pool of available labor in the United States includes all kinds of dimwits, morons, and complete fucking imbeciles. If youre unemployed and applying for work, its important to remember that most of the candidates youre up against are stupid as shit, said Labor Secretary Thomas Perez, urging out-of-work Americans to stop a moment and consider just how many of their fellow citizens are drooling idiots who dont have a goddamn clue about anything. However frustrated you feel about your job prospects, understand that theres a vast, grossly incompetent segment of the population you dont have to worry about at all. If you show up on time with your shirt buttoned, youre already doing far better than most everyone else. Seriously, of all the people applying for all the available positions in the country right now, only about 50 or so actually have any idea what theyre doing, Perez continued. Those are the ones youre really competing with. The rest are pretty much all dipshits. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, these clueless dopes can be found among candidates for every entry-level, managerial, and executive position throughout the public and private sectors. Recent data indicate that eight in 10 people interviewing for any given job reportedly spend the entire time staring blankly at the prospective employer, their mouth hanging open as they nod or shake their head in response to questions. For every qualified applicant to a given job, the bureaus statisticians found there are 37 dummies who fail to meet even one requirement for the position, 28 who cant write a simple cover letter without sounding totally illiterate, and 15 who have to call multiple times on their way to the interview because they keep getting lost. Data suggest only a handful of American job seekers can make it through a 10-minute phone interview without gibbering like a brainless halfwit who has no idea what time of the day it is or why anyone has called them in the first place. If you can attach a rsum to an email, youre already in the 90th percentile of applicants in the U.S. workforce, said Stacey Hines, a human resources executive at General Electric, citing the number of thick-witted job seekers who forget to include the document with their message and then immediately send a harried follow-up email in which they fail to send it once more. Half of these things we throw in the trash immediately because some total dumbass has spelled the contact persons name three different ways. Hines, who has spent more than three decades as a hiring manager for major companies, told reporters that it is rare to find a candidate who can form a halfway-coherent sentence that communicates a point and doesnt trail off into a list of mumbled office jargon or stop abruptly for no apparent reason. As long as youre not some slack-jawed pea brain who shows up with barbecue sauce smeared along the corner of your mouth, and the first words out of your mouth arent How soon can I get paid? youll probably do just fine, she said. Just this morning, I had five big old dumbfucks outside my office who each thought they had an appointment at 9 a.m., so I interviewed all of them together just to get them out of the way. Labor economists confirmed the real problem facing unemployed Americans is the staggering number of giant assholes out there, since theyre the ones who always wind up getting the best-paying jobs.

1	Describing the fact that he had not caused her any physical harm as a mark of true gentility, sources confirmed Friday that local man Thomas Lowell had been a perfect gentleman the night before by not assaulting 25-year-old Leah Pace while she was inebriated. Leah had a bit too much to drink, but Tom was an absolute gentleman the whole night, said Paces friend Amber Cohen, bestowing the highest standards of chivalry and honorability upon the man for refraining from endangering Paces personal safety or exploiting her drunken state to engage in sexual acts without her consent. Nothing bad happened at all. Hes a really good guy. Sources later reported that the man who did not harass Pace with aggressive and lewd text messages the following day was a total sweetheart. 
2	Muslim Brutally Murder Cop And Wife While Live Streaming On Facebook [VIDEO] According to recent reports, a Muslim radical who was being investigated for terror ties has reportedly stabbed a French police chief to death outside of his home. He then went on to torture the mans wife in front of their toddler son. As if that werent gruesome enough, he decided to livestream the entire thing on Facebook. Fox News reports that the attack in Magnanville ended only after a three-hour standoff, when French commandoes stormed the home, rescuing the boy and killing 25-year-old Larossi Abballa. Before the raid, Abballa made a terrifying statement to his Facebook followers, writing, I dont know what Im going to do with the boy. Jean-Baptiste Salvaing was not in uniform when he was ambushed and stabbed around 8:30 PM on Monday. His wife, a 36-year-old secretary at a local police station was killed with a knife inside the residence, while the couples 3-year-old son hid behind a couch. This man should have never been released after being jailed in 2013 for terrorism and connections to ISIS. Watch the full report below and tell us what you think.

1	According to critics, the new Liberace biopic Behind The Candelabra, which premiered on HBO last month, reveals that the famed musician and performer was good friends with a number of gay men in his personal life. Everybody knows Liberace for his extravagant wardrobe, virtuosic piano performances, and endearing Midwestern sensibilities, but what a lot of people dont know, which this film shows, is that Liberace also counted a number of gay men among his close personal friends, said television critic Jeff Wasser of the film, which shows Liberace, famed pianist and lover of figure-skating champ Sonja Henie, developing friendships with many homosexuals, whom he often invited to his home for dinner, swimming, and conversation. He was apparently quite progressive in that regard and did not discriminate against gay men in the slightest, despite being a famous ladies man. In fact, he would even bestow numerous gifts upon his gay male friends as a token of his friendship. Wasser added that he particularly enjoyed the films portrayal of Liberaces relationship with his gay chauffeur, who became perhaps his closest buddy. 
3	UN to establish dedicated investigations unit for civilian deaths caused by U.S. drone strikesMadison Ruppert, Contributor Interestingly, it seems the UN is focusing solely on the U.S. while human rights lawyers have previously pointed out that British civilians participating in the drone program can actually be held partially responsible for the murders carried out under said program. The announcement came from Ben Emmerson QC, a UN special rapporteur, in a speech to Harvard law school, according to the British Guardian. In the speech Emmerson also reportedly called secret renditions and waterboarding crimes under international law, which they both quite clearly are. The U.S. military and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) have both been sued in the past over the drone assassination program, but as of yet nothing has come from it and it may be somewhat pessimistic but I dont think the UN will be able to do much about it either. Emmerson also called for investigations into US drone attacks earlier this summer, warning that some of the strikes in Pakistan may indeed be war crimes. While I agree that they very well might be war crimes and the U.S. drone program is hardly acceptable in any way, the simple fact is that the UN cannot and should not be trusted. In order to realize this all one needs to do is observe the fact that the UN recently openly called for international internet surveillance. Together with my colleague Christof Heyns, [the UN special rapporteur on extra-judicial killings], I will be launching an investigation unit within the special procedures of the [UN] Human Rights Council to inquire into individual drone attacks, Emmerson continued. The UNs investigation will also include a look at other forms of targeted killing conducted in counter-terrorism operations, in which it is alleged that civilian casualties have been inflicted. Emmerson added that the position claiming that the U.S. has a right to conduct international warfare in the name of fighting al Qaeda or other related groups is, in fact, indefensible. This is quite interesting indeed since that position justifying international war is the entire basis of the so-called global war on terror. The global war paradigm has done immense damage to a previously shared international consensus on the legal framework underlying both international human rights law and international humanitarian law, said Emmerson. It has also given a spurious justification to a range of serious human rights and humanitarian law violations. The [global] war paradigm was always based on the flimsiest of reasoning, and was not supported even by close allies of the U.S., continued Emmerson. The first-term Obama administration initially retreated from this approach, but over the past 18 months it has begun to rear its head once again, in briefings by administration officials seeking to provide a legal justification for the drone program of targeted killing in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. [It is] alleged that since President Obama took office at least 50 civilians were killed in follow-up strikes when they had gone to help victims and more than 20 civilians have also been attacked in deliberate strikes on funerals and mourners, said Emmerson. Christof Heyns has described such attacks, if they prove to have happened, as war crimes. I would endorse that view, he added. Emmerson also slammed both President Barack Obama and the Republican candidate Mitt Romney, focusing on their constant avoidance of the drone issue. It is perhaps surprising that the position of the two candidates on this issue has not even featured during their presidential elections campaigns, and got no mention at all in Monday nights foreign policy debate, said Emmerson. Surprising? Not quite. For anyone who has been following the drone war and the defense it enjoys in Washington and elsewhere, this is hardly surprising. We now know that the two candidates are in agreement on the use of drones, said Emmerson. But the issue of so-called enhanced interrogation techniques is an one which, according to the record, continues to divide them. I should make it absolutely clear that my mandate does not see to eye to eye with the Obama administration on a range of issues not least the lack of transparency over the drone program, said Emmerson. But on this issue the president has been clear since he took office that water-boarding is torture that it is contrary to American values and that it would stop. While Obama indeed publicly called waterboarding torture and claimed it would no longer be used, his true stance is revealed by the fact that he refused to go after the individuals who actually carried out the torture. This is fascinating since he has no problem with going after CIA employees who blow the whistle on similarly objectionable practices. Personally, Im not going to hold my breath in hopes of some magical UN action that will stop the widespread and expanding use of drones both domestically and internationally. To do so would require a deep ignorance of history as well as a severe lack of common sense.

3	Is ISIS Now The Lifeline Of The New World Order?By Bernie Suarez First, realize that the latest shooting in Paris fits perfectly into the new world order plans like hand in glove. The same plans were all trying hard to stop. The attack stinks of the new world order and as usual has their fingerprints all over it. Realize that as soon as they suggested that the attackers claimed they were killing for ISIS, given what we all know about ISIS, this constitutes 100% proof that the CIA and the West was involved because they are the ones who created, trained, funded and run ISIS. Realize that exposing and destroying ISIS is exactly synonymous with destroying and exposing the new world order, which is why ISIS will never die. Yes, ISIS is now the lifeline of the new world order! CIAs ISIS is now the driving force of the new world order and no one should be surprised that as soon as U.S. special forces advisers were sent to Syria and the CIAs counter strategy against Russia began recently, now we have this attack. It is also no coincidence that just a few weeks ago a Panel co-hosted by CIA and George Washington University consisting of CIA director John Brennan, former UK MI6 Chief John Sawers, Head of French Directorate for External Security Bernard Bajolet and former Israeli National Security Advisor Yaacov Amidror all coincidentally met to discuss the future of global security in light of terrorism and extremism. Where else have we heard this theme before? It was just at the end of September when U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch spoke at the U.N. about a new Strong Cities Network being ushered in where cities are pulling together (Agenda 2030 style) in a cooperative platform to focus on the need for, among other things, a global security effort to combat extremism. The U.S. Department of Justices own website states regarding the Strong Cities Network: To counter violent extremism we need determined action at all levels of governance, said Governing Mayor Stian Berger Rsland of Oslo while commenting on their participation in the SCN. To succeed, we must coordinate our efforts and cooperate across borders. The Strong Cities Network will enable cities across the globe pool our resources, knowledge and best practices together and thus leave us standing stronger in the fight against one of the greatest threats to modern society. So as you can see, one cannot look at the recent Paris attacks as an isolated event from a terror group acting independently. Nothing can be further from the truth. Instead, realize that from the very beginning CIAs ISIS was portrayed as a super-mobile terror group in addition to being a god-like, invisible killing machine with super-human capabilities able to disrupt every nation on the planet, produce endless supply of resources including food, water, supplies, rounds, tanks, guns etc., and seemingly able to simultaneously take on fighting armies from almost every major country on the planet while winning! I believe the main purpose that the West created ISIS for was to introduce a GLOBAL killing machine requiring a permanent GLOBAL police effort and thus lay out the groundwork for the policemen of the new world order. Problem-Reaction-Solution. ISIS solution = global police via a sustainable Strong Cities Network. This is all part of the now clear blueprint for the new world order. The world is now wide awake to the primary purpose behind the creation of ISIS and hopefully we will all come together to find new solutions for countering this global police strategy. Now that weve exposed the primary purpose behind the Paris shooting false flag, lets explore more arguments to convince ourselves why we shouldnt have any doubts that this is another false flag. And it shouldnt shock anyone that the timing of this event coincides perfectly with the extremely controversial up and coming U.N. Climate Change event in Paris starting November 30. Incidentally, the event was expected to draw many angry protesters who are rejecting the new world order. Conveniently, this event now allows them to tighten the security and they will likely disallow protests and/or crack down on it much more violently in the name of security. Fact is, the latest Paris attack is a gift for those pushing for a global order because it ONLY benefits the globalists and no one else. Weve seen this pattern repeatedly. The Western oligarchs and architects of the new world order always forget that observing who benefits is the simplest thing any person can do to trace who is behind an event. And every time we do this, amazingly the trail ALWAYS leads back to the West and its allies. As usual, the recent Paris attacks were the kind of event that prompted Obama to immediately offer his comments, opinions and solutions, which as always pointed to the need for more power for government and less freedom for you and me. The amazing thing about this new brand of state-sponsored terrorism, as they push for their global police, is that now an isolated attack in Paris can somehow directly affect the behavior of police departments on the other side of the world! This is the crux of the agenda behind the emerging global police force. The reasoning goes something like this: If police in Sydney are worried about a threat, then we should ALL worry equally because terrorism is a global problem. So we better beef up our security here in Chicago. Or Gee, there was a shooting in Atlanta, therefore police in London better get ready to lockdown everyone because you never know. Are you getting the picture of how this works? And again, as already mentioned, this was the reason from the start that ISIS was portrayed as a super-mobile indestructible terror group. Yes, ISIS was portrayed as invincible, but all along their mobility was the catch to all of this. As you can see, the latest Paris shooting offers many benefits and rewards for the new world order, while it offers no rewards for anyone else on the planet INCLUDING ISIS themselves. After you read this article hopefully those who are still not fully aware of the new world order plans will begin to see why being mentally free from mainstream media propaganda staged news is the best way to enjoy life. And that is why I want to focus on a few techniques for restoring your mental vibration and perspective back to pre-Paris shooting levels (for example). Above and beyond everything weve talked about up to now, I want to suggest a blueprint for keeping your mind clear of the damaging effects of mainstream media news especially false flag terror events. I wrote about this blueprint on October 24, 2014. Back then, I referred to it as 3 simple things you can do to block the damaging effects of mainstream media news in your life. And today I want to revisit these 3 simple things because it beats burning yourself out trying to figure out every detail of this latest event. I actually applied this technique last night and it quickly and easily allowed me to arrive at an answer with respect to this event. I want to encourage everyone to structure their thoughts similarly because doing so will save you a lot of stress and worry, and will help you stay happy, stress-free and focused during any future false flag. So instead of wallowing in the latest terrorist shooting fear porn intended to empower the new world order terrorists, you should continue about your business realizing nothing new has happened since 9/11/01. The globalist terrorists who have created, funded and armed every terror group we can think over the past half a decade, attacked us on 9/11 and have been attacking us ever since with Operation Northwoods-Gladio-style attacks. Nothing has changed since 9/11 because the 9/11 perpetrators got away with the crime. Anyone awakened already knows this. For those not awakened please note these attacks will continue until humanity wakes up to the reality of the new world order, and starts holding accountable the true perpetrators, like the oligarchs who are funding it, the U.S. militarys enforcement role in this plan, the role of Intelligence and the role of U.S. NATO partners, all of which are playing a huge role in the grand chessboard for domination of the world. So heres my 3-step process again, which acts as a nice blueprint for how to approach Breaking News stories which are all designed to strengthen the grip the controllers have on you and me as they march toward their world order. The Paris shooting alone without any consideration of history would have some convincing power. However, a glance at both recent and more distant historical events casts a dark cloud over this latest false flag. One need not go too far back since it was only this past January (2014) that we had the Charlie Hebdo false flag blown wide open when it was discovered that the alleged terrorists had been tracked by and had been working with French authorities leading up to the event. The evidence (or should I say, the lack thereof) across the board was sketchy as evidenced by the hoax police officer shooting witnessed by the world, and we all appreciated the admission from the Sky News Reporter telling us about the blood on the ground that was put there. Do yourself a favor: When any false flag is exposed, hold onto that convincing information dearly because part of the effect of false flag ops is that the controllers hope you have a short-term memory for previously failed false flags. Historically we know that terrorism has been used throughout Europe in the form of CIAs Operation Gladio. We know this is admitted and thus this only hurts the Paris shooting believability. We need not go over again the history of ISIS and how it is a sole creation of the West and its allies. This history obviously deals the biggest blow to the Paris attack mainstream media narrative whose credibility is dependent on you still believing that ISIS came about on its own and that they somehow sustain themselves and have ended up with U.S. weapons and trucks by wild coincidence. As mentioned above, the globalists are not even hiding that a global police force to combat terrorism is their goal. Theyve admitted this and we know there is no way theyll get anything without creating a perceived problem. Without ISIS the war on terror would be over with. Without Gladio-style mass shootings in different cities around the world, they will never get their global police force that will undermine national and personal sovereignty. We also know the controllers have been trying desperately to link even climate change to global security. Their intentions are clear to the world and to humanity. As you can see, applying this second step to the latest shooting in Paris, again allows you to see how improbable it is that this latest shooting was coincidental and unrelated. Only someone entirely naive would believe and accept this coincidence. Finally, take note of what the mainstream media is not telling us. They are not showing video evidence of the shooting. Think of how many people had cell phones at the Bataclan concert hall yet not ONE cell phone video or image has emerged showing us the shooters. This is at least strange enough to make you think. The media is not telling us how could these gunmen penetrate the security in place at all of these locations including the Stadium of France where a soccer game was being played. How did they sneak AK-47s onto places with such high security?? Why didnt anyone stop these guys? How did Paris Match magazine recently predict a French-style 9/11? Coincidence? When it comes to these false flag shootings the control system always tries to make the information available on a very narrow spectrum. Common sense questions are not allowed to be asked, and questions that fall outside of the narrow narrative delivered by mainstream media are considered inappropriate. Once you employ these 3 actions on not only the Paris attacks but any false flag event, you will always find yourself quickly and easily jumping to conclusions about who is behind the attack. Employing these techniques will allow you to get back to your normal life much quicker and get back to the business of working toward solutions and keeping a healthy critical-thinking, disease-free mind. In my mind the Paris attacks ended a long time ago. I refuse to dwell on their false flag event which was staged for the particular political motives mentioned above. The attacks were pulled off by their proxy terror groups which had been shown in the past they created, funded and trained. These false flag attacks show no signs of letting up any time soon. Everyone sooner or later will have to face the reality of staged state terrorism and that is: There is a war going on for the minds of humanity. And false flag shootings are a reminder of that war. To become mentally healed and more empowered following another staged false flag, we all must start somewhere. We must also mentally organize as demonstrated above and keep everything distinctly in perspective. Only then can we apply wisdom and knowledge to the situation and escape the mentally poisonous linear narrow-minded spellbound mainstream media narrative, designed to further enslave you. Many of us can see the perspective of truth; but keep in mind many others are still unable to perceive truth and reason and fall slave to these mainstream media political narratives. Lets do all we can to simply expose people to this simple truth, knowledge and wisdom. Then let them decide on their own what truth is. so isis with fake syrian passports attacked paris and took the blame so syria is now the enemy? Good article, Bernie Suarez- with one exception. You failed to clearly state that this attack was a hoax event rather than a false flag. No blood, no broken glass, no bullet holes, no videos = hoax. Thank you, Bernie Suarez ! Your three-step approach for evaluating such incidents removes the initial, emotional impact of such false-flag events, and applies objectivity to the process. The absence of cell-phone videos clearly reveals the current incident to be a false flag event. If the event were not initiated by the French government, it was at least supported by the Hollande administration. Yesterday, in an article on its website, the CFRs Foreign Policy journal reinforced the concept that ISIS terrorism will metastasize throughout the globe. The article states an estimated 1200 French citizens went to Syria to join ISIS and at least 250 have returned to France. In total, FP reported more than 6000 Europeans went to Syria to train with ISIS. Combining those numbers with projections of ISIS terrorists slipping into the crowds of refugees, a narrative for more terror attacks is building momentum. Besides a world police force with carte blanche authority, watch out for a global biometric tracking and identification program dangled as a solution. I spent a year pouring over the details of Ruby Ridge and concluded that the US Government was to blame and was lying. I spent a year pouring over the details of Waco and concluded that the US Government was to blame and was lying. I spent a year pouring over the details of the Oklahoma City bombing and concluded that the US Government was to blame and was lying. When 9/11, the Boston Marathon, and Sandy Hook happened, I didnt need do anything except notice that, Their lips were moving. I would be hard-pressed to name anything about which the Zionist Occupied Government has told the truth. You refer to Zionist Occupied Government which is actually another way the true bad hats distract, deflect and misdirect. The New World Order controlled by the International Bankers is not run by any particular government, religion nor nationalistic patriotism. The U.S. Federal Reserve is a privately-owned organization that controls the U.S. Treasury, and is owned by a dozen Israeli families. Currently, the U.S. Federal Reserve controls the banking system of the western world, and significantly influences the banking system of the entire world. http://www.veteranstoday.com/2015/07/11/hack-of-netanyahu-chief-of-staff-shows-israeli-control-of-isis/ This is one of the things that the yellow press is not telling us, which is affecting the whole rational for the destruction of the Islamic State. The Russians settled in Syria its air force while the Iranias settled ground troops in Iraq, flanking IS from the east and the west, respectively, with Helthbollah at the south being attacked by Israel despite of no posing a security risks for it at that location and at this time. At the north are the Turkish and the Kurds, fighting each other the Kurds are not CIA/NATO proxies as are the Turkish. A map was printed in the news showing, without comments, the positions held in Syria by the so called CIA backed moderates, including the Al Queida new allies of the West. This is my interpretation of that map: If the purpose of the Russian air force is provide support to the Syrian ground troops against IS, why it is so difficult to understand that the moderates have to go first and that it is imperative the Russian bombing of them simultaneously, or even primarily while bombing IS? Can any one playing chess can kill the King surrounded by Knights, Pages and Bishops? Another fact that the discourse of the new world order without guns is not mentioning is the purpose of the Bill of Rights (first 10 amendments of the US Constitution) was to enshrine the rights of the people against the tyranny, including the right to bear arms in well organized militias. Amazing! This right is not for personal self defense or for hunting. Oil heres a solution everyone should gun up conceal and carry. eyes wide open. Since German chancellor Merkels private meeting with BHObama during the GS-7 meeting in June in the German province of Bavaria, Merkel has behaved as the dictator of the European Union. Her unilateral decision to accept all alleged refugees from the Arab lands into the EU parallels Obamas decision in the USofA. Merkel has crippled Germany and the EU and amplified the existing level of general fear. Sarkozy acted as the puppet of the CIA/MOSSAD in the Libya debacle, misusing French pilots and aircraft to lead the NATO air attack on Libya and the murder of Muammar al Qadhaffi. Has Hollande become a PIMP for the MOSSAD/CIA, to misuse French pilots and aircraft to fawn an attack on ISIS in Syria, in order to create an international incident with Russia? Hollande would be wise to limit his attacks to MOSSAD/CIA Jihadists within France and leave ISIS in Syria to its president and Russia. 
1	Moving swiftly and discreetly like CIA field agents on some kind of black-ops mission to infiltrate a terrorist cell in a hostile country, coworkers of soon-to-be 29-year-old Catherine Greyson clandestinely passed a birthday card around the office of Rhodes Insurance Corp. on Friday, sources confirmed. Furtively weaving in and out of cubicles like spies trying to evade capture after killing a high-value target deep behind enemy lines, employees took turns writing personalized greetings and signing the floral-patterned card, which, like a silenced 9 mm pistol, was kept carefully out of sight. Shh, this is for Catherine, whispered marketing assistant Greg Carmichael, looking over both shoulders as though preparing to leave a thumb drive inside a hollowed-out park bench. Weve got to make sure the card gets around to everyone who hasnt signed it yet before she finishes up her morning meeting. We cant let her see this, he added, using the same hushed tones as a CIA handler debriefing an informant in the back alley of a crowded Beirut slum. I dont want to ruin the surprise. According to sources, Carmichael slipped the card to human resources manager Jane Yardley, who slyly handed it to coworker Eric Daniels as if in a crowded Amsterdam train station passing along a briefcase containing sensitive government information, doctored passports, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in unmarked bills. Project manager Sarah Johnston opted to sign the card in the more secure kitchen area, taking the long route past the color copier so that her cover wouldnt be blown by Greyson. Clutching the birthday card and a fine-point Sharpie, Johnston reportedly got the attention of I.T. supervisor Dale Trackler by asking if he had done this yet, speaking in a code that would be understood by her fellow agent but misleading to any eavesdropping counterspy. Reports confirmed Trackler then took it upon himself to get signatures from the rest of the tech department, but while doing so was suddenly interrupted by the sight of Greyson coming down the hall. Like a Green Beret rappelling down the side of nuclear facility after planting a computer virus, Trackler retreated in the opposite direction, safely hiding the card inside his jacket while Greyson passed by. I had to act fast, or she would have seen the card, said Trackler, speaking as though the deed somehow qualified him to receive a CIA Intelligence Star for his voluntary act of courage under conditions of grave risk. Its one of those sparkly ones too, so if she had spotted it, she would have definitely known what was up. Luckily, she was looking over at someone in accounts, otherwise I dont know what I would have done, added Trackler, whose concerns made it seem as though his only option at that point would have been to ingest a cyanide capsule. Once everyone had signed the card, sources said that employees began gathering in the break room, staggering their arrivals one by one like agents meeting up at a predetermined rendezvous point somewhere in Budapest. At the request of receptionist Debbie Chenwho, as the office equivalent of CIA director David Petraeus, had authorized and financed the $3.99 missionGreyson was then summoned in and presented with the card. Oh, wow, I cant believe you guys remembered my birthday is this weekend, Greyson said. You really didnt need to do all of this. Still, though, very sweet of everyone to think of me, she added, making a mental note to throw away the card as soon as she was alone, thereby destroying any evidence the covert operation had ever taken place. 
2	BREAKING: Trump Defies Liberals, Openly Accuses Barack H. Obama Of TREASON Against America It is clear that Donald Trump is fed up of President Obamas tendency to bash Americans, especially in the wake of major tragedies at the hands of terrorists. In a recent statement to Associated Press, Trump commented on Obamas statement regarding the attacks in Orlando. During his speech, he spent almost as much time attacking Trump as he did Islamic terrorism. In an email, Trump commented that Obama claims to know our enemy, and yet he continues to prioritize our enemy over our allies, and for that matter, the American people. When I am president, it will always be America first, he continued. The Republican Party also issued a response to Obamas remarks, though it was much tamer than Trumps. Nothing President Obama and Hillary Clinton are proposing in response to the Orlando terror attack would have prevented it, but they would infringe on Americans constitutional rights to due process and to own a gun, the statement read. We should not make it harder for law-abiding Americans to defend themselves when radical Islamic terrorists are successfully launching attacks on U.S. soil. The terrorists win when they convince politicians they should take away our rights, and that is exactly what President Obama and Hillary Clinton are proposing. Christopher Hayes of MSNBC noted that Trumps statement was essentially calling the President treasonous. Thats a good point Hayes. Instead of taking a stand against terrorist organizations like the Islamic State, Obama is pushing to limit our Second Amendment rights. Its clear that Obama thinks Americans are more of a threat than Islamic terror. And that is just absolutely absurd. 
3	Glyphosate: A Trajectory of Human MiseryHeidi Stevenson Further driving its use are genetically modified (GM) crops, which were first developed for the purpose of creating glyphosate-tolerant plants, usually known as Roundup Ready. These have resulted in ever-more blatant and free use, especially in the wake of glyphosate-resistant superweeds. Estimates put glyphosate-tolerant GM crops at 90% of all transgene crops. In the United States alone, the amount and increase in glyphosates use is stunning. The following table gives estimated figures in millions of pounds of glyphosate for one year: Year 2001 2003 2005 2007 Range 85-90 128-133 155-160 180-185 Notice that the amount of use has doubled in just six years. Exposure to Glyphosate Samsel Seneff state: The Western diet is a delivery system for toxic chemicals used in industrial agriculture. It consists primarily of processed foods based on corn, wheat, soy and sugar, and theyre consumed in high quantities. Chemical residues of insecticides, fungicides and herbicides like glyphosate contaminate the entire diet. Roundup Ready GM crops have become the mainstay of Agribusiness. These include soy, beet sugar, and cornwhich supply the bulk of the processed food industry. High fructose corn syrup, implicated in the diabetes epidemic, is produced mostly with GM corn. Cotton is genetically engineered and its oil has entered the food supply. Food and dairy animals are raised in concentrated animal feed operations (CAFOs). The bulk of their diets consists of GM grain crops. Grain and sugar crops take up higher levels of glyphosate than other crops. Therefore, the flesh, eggs, and milk of CAFO-raised animals are contaminated with glyphosate, which enters the food pipeline. Glyphosate is used not only on Roundup Ready crops, but also on glyphosate-sensitive sugar cane and wheat shortly before harvest, when it acts as a desiccant. Its also used as a desiccant on Roundup Ready sugar beets, canola, and cottonseed for oils, among others. The perception that glyphosate is not toxic in humans results in difficulty obtaining figures on how much glyphosate ends up in the food supply. The United States Department of Agricultures (USDAs) Pesticide Data Program is voluntary. Searching for information on residues for the year 2010, the most recent year for which data is provided, shows residue levels for all pesticides except glyphosate and another organophosphate, glufosinate. The USDA has simply not monitored residue levels for either of these herbicides, though they will this year (2013), but only for a small sampling of glyphosate residues in soy. Increasing Limits on Glyphosate Use Governments have failed to control use of glyphosate. The precautionary principle has not been in evidence anywhere. The drive to use it has increased as the use of glyphosate on Roundup Ready crops, which has driven development of noxious superweeds. Therefore, Agribusiness in the forms of chemical and biotech industries have demanded increased limits on glyphosate residue. In 1999, the EU and UK, where no GM crops are currently grown for human consumption, increased the limit for soy from 0.1 parts per million to 20 ppma 200-fold increase! The US limit for soy is currently the same. Pressure is now on to increase levels even more. In the EU, industry is pressing for an increase of at least 100 times current residue levels in lentils from 0.1 ppm to 10 ppm, or even 15 ppm. Safety isnt factored in. Approval levels are based solely on anticipated use, and glyphosate use is being driven massively higher by the noxious superweeds that exist only because of it. The residue limits for food animals are even worse, and by a huge amount. Animal-feed grass is allowed glyphosate residues of 300 ppm, and animal-feed corn can have glyphosate residues of 400 ppm! Glyphosates Toxicity It should come as no surprise that sickness is becoming the normal state of health. Chronic diseases, once fairly rare, are now how we live and die. Diseases once seen almost exclusively in the elderly are now being seen in children. Autoimmune and neurological disorders are becoming common. There are many potentially causative and contributory factors, but glyphosate has generally gotten a pass because it was considered generally recognized as safeGRASfor its apparently low toxicity. Indeed, short term studies appeared to confirm its innocence. However, long term studies of its effects on health werent done until recently. The most insidious factor in glyphosates toxicity has been the slow expression of harmful effects. Because of it, studies demonstrating glyphosates insidious action inside the bodylike those Samsel Seneff reviewedhave been systematically ignored. So glyphosate is now the most popular herbicide on earth, and that factor is driving the extent of harm it produces. It isnt just the fact of its toxicity thats at issue, its the sheer volume of usage. Samsel Seneffs research is blowing away the smokescreen around the harmful effects of this monstrous product. They have provided specifics for how glyphosate can destroy health and produce the modern plague of chronic diseases. Glyphosate: A Trajectory of Human Misery The proven and probable effects of glyphosate are manifold. The meteoric rise in chronic diseases and metabolic disorders has occurred during the same time period that glyphosate was introduced, and has followed a trajectory much like that of the herbicides massive increase in use. At some point, officials in power must take their heads out of the sand and address the evidence that ties glyphosate to the epidemic of chronic diseases. Samsel and Seneff have now collected, sorted, and logically extrapolated on evidence from studies, and they leave little question that there must be an association between the herbicide and the phenomenon of mass ill health. Samsel and Seneff do not oversell their findings. They clarify that glyphosate is not the only toxin in todays world. Nonetheless, its known effects on some of the human bodys most basic functionsdisruption of gut bacteria, impairment of sulphate transport, and interference with CYP enzyme activityindicate that, at the very least, glyphosate must have a synergistic effect with other environmental toxins. It is, therefore, imperative thatat the very leasta moratorium be declared on the use of glyphosate until and unless it can be demonstrated to be safe. Surely its long past time to apply the precautionary principle to glyphosate and its partner in synergy, Roundup. The toll in human suffering, not to mention costs to society and economic losses, cannot be allowed to continue. Surely civilization cannot be maintained when the average person is irrevocably ill. This trajectory of human misery must come to an end. Part 1, Glyphosate: Chronic Disease Degeneration Heidi Stevenson is Allopathys Gadfly.

2	Duck Dynasty Star Willie Robertson Delivers Serious Wakeup Call To BruceBruce Caitlyn Jenner has been making headlines for months now, ever since she made the announcement that she would be officially transitioning. Now, with Caitlyn and her new female persona braised the cover of Vanity Fair, the liberal media has painted Jenner as a hero. But if youre going to leave it to one person to speak out against the medias praise of the transgender lifestyle, leave it to a Robertson. During a recent interview with Larry King, Willie Robertson came forward to share his true beliefs about the LBGT lifestyle. Larry, Im trying to figure that out right now. I really am since the controversy and since I know all these peopleand if the thought is Im born this way, Robertson told King. I dont know. Im trying to figure out myself through the passages, because I always have to look to the scriptures to see whats there and then I put it up against peopleput my time in, so Ive spent time with people. Im not the judge, he concluded. Gods going to be the judge, so its not my job to convince people to change their livesits really through Jesus. If I just introduce them to Jesus, hell do that. What do you think of Robertsons comments? Do you support him in his faith? 
3	First in the nation: Arizona senate committee passes 4th Amendment Protection Act to thwart NSA spyingselfnews Post Senate Bill 1156 (SB1156), the Arizona 4th Amendment Protection Act, was introduced by Sen. Kelli Ward and 14 other sponsors and co-sponsors. The bill faced its first hurdle today, with an important hearing and vote in the Senates Government and Environment committee, where it required passage by majority vote to move forward. After a lengthy debate with significant opposition from state agencies, SB1156 was passed by the committee with a vote of 4-2. One member was absent, not voting. Based on model legislation drafted by the OffNow Coalition, SB1156 would ban the state from engaging in activities which help the NSA carry out their warrantless data-collection programs, or even make use of the information on a local level. The Coalition is organized by the Tenth Amendment Center (TAC) and the Bill of Rights Defense Committee (BORDC), a civil liberties group advised by well-known anti-establishment figures such as Daniel Ellsberg and Naomi Wolf. Ward said that her goal was to protect the liberty and the Constitution. Paraphrasing Benjamin Franklin she said, We cannot sacrifice liberty for security. Reports in the Washington Post and USA Today last fall documented how the FBI and most other investigative bodies in the federal government are regularly using a mobile device known as a stingray to intercept and collect electronic data without a warrant. Local and state police have access through sharing agreements. Ward suggested that this might be the most important part of the bill, a prohibition against using data in state and local courts if that information is collected without a warrant. Shane Trejo of OffNow agreed. While Arizona might not be able to physically stop the NSA and other federal agencies from collecting our data without a warrant, legislation such as this can significantly reduce the practical effect of what they are trying to do with it, namely, use it within the states for non-terror criminal cases, which is a gross violation of the 4th Amendment, he said. The legislation would also ban Arizona from providing material support or resources to the operation of any federal facilities engaged in the warrantless surveillance of people in Arizona. While the NSA does not operate a physical facility in the state, the prohibition of material support sends an important message to the spy agency by pulling up the welcome mat. We know the NSA is aggressively expanding its physical locations around the country from Utah to Texas and elsewhere, Trejo said. Since the NSA rarely tells us its plans in advance, it is absolutely essential to make sure that states pass this legislation to cut them off at the pass. Our plan is to box them in and do everything we can to stop them. A number of state agencies testified as neutral with concerns about the bill, generally suggesting that without changes, they would be opposed. A law enforcement spokesman, plus representatives from the departments of environmental quality, housing, revenue, public safety and health services were all concerned that they would not be able to share any information with federal agencies, rendering their programs virtually out of business. Ward worked to allay their fears by reading a portion of SB1156 which makes clear that participation in various programs was not the target of the bills prohibition, but only the use in criminal proceedings of electronic data and metadata obtained without a warrant. Ward challenged a number of department heads, asking That information you are talking about is given to you voluntarily, correct? Youre not stealing information from the people and giving it to the federal government, are you? SB1156 now moves on to the Senate Rules committee where it will need to pass by a majority vote before being considered by the full senate.

2	Trey Gowdy Just Did What Nobody Ever Thought He Would Do [WATCH] Congressman Trey Gowdy has made quite a name for himself in the past few years. He has been a relentless protector of justice, working tirelessly to hold Hillary Clinton accountable for her many crimes. In a recent video, Gowdy explained the power of persuasion, tipped his hat to the best communicators he knows and tells an amazing story of a man who decided to put the lives of strangers ahead of himself. This speech below has been called the pin drop speech. Watch the video below and you can see why. 
1	The ability to judge different sizes and shapes was inexplicably lost on Waterville resident John Wyatt on Tuesday as he struggled to find the correct lid for a plastic container of chicken salad. According to witnesses, the seemingly rational man cycled through 17 separate lids in his desperate search to find a corresponding match, rotating each incorrect cover multiple times in hopes that it would somehow fit. 'Why won't this work?' asked Wyatt, who is reportedly an intelligent and astute individual most of the time. 'Just close already, goddammit.' At press time, Wyatt was attempting to secure a square lid onto a round container with several sheets of plastic wrap. 
2	Black Extremist Group Puts Bounty On Officer Wilsons Head After Hes Cleared Of All Charges On August 9, unarmed black teenager, Mike Brown, was shot down in the street by Officer Darren Wilson. Since then, it has been one of the most controversial topics in America, with some arguing that Mike Brown had his hands up when he was shot, while others argue he was actually attacking Officer Wilson. Just today a jury decided not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the murder of Mike Brown. Apparently some people arent taking this so well. Ferguson protesters have taken to the streets, where they are rioting, looting, and everything in between. Now, there is another group that is not so happy about this decision. It is a black militant group called RbG Black Rebels, who have decided to take matters into their own hands. They have put a bounty of 5,000 dollars on Darren Wilson, for any information regarding his whereabouts. RbG claims that they want no violence, only to take his picture and ask him a few questions, according to their Twitter. Governor Jay Nixon is no so convinced, and has called a State of Emergency in Ferguson, Missouri. 
1	Declaring the creation a worthy follow-up to her widely successful news aggregation website, media magnate Arianna Huffington unveiled today her latest project known as the Huffington Man, an enormous creature aggregated from the body parts of 84 different humans. Huffington showcased the 8-foot-tall, 450-pound being at a press event in lower Manhattan, explaining that the biological amalgam was compiled in a secret underground Huffington Post laboratory using the organs, musculature, and skeletal components of prominent figures from the worlds of politics, sports, entertainment, health, comedy, and technology. Ladies and gentlemen, the Huffington Man is the culmination of years worth of in-depth scientific research and experimentation, said the Internet entrepreneur, gesturing towards the hulking patchwork of decaying flesh and bone, which stared lifelessly out at the assembled press corps from within a steel cage. He is the best parts of 84 different menthe athlete, the businessman, the scholar, the pop culture expertall in one marvelous and extraordinary human being. The Huffington Man is the man of the future, she added. With him, there is no need for any other man. Sources confirmed that development on the Huffington Man project began in early 2007, as researchers began harvesting the body parts of various corpses from graves across the country. They noted that the composite being includes a combination of brain matter removed from the skulls of the nations preeminent film and television critics, muscles severed from the limbs of health and yoga experts, along with the faces of actors Paul Newman, Ernest Borgnine, and Whitney Houston. According to unconfirmed rumors, the aggregated colossus is also composed of hair, blood, and sinews from various unpaid freelance bloggers. When Arianna first told me about the Huffington Man project, I knew this was a chance for us to revolutionize mankind as we know it, said Dr. Jonas Baumgartner, an eminent anatomist whom Huffington had flown in from Austria to lead the project. This one magnificent being renders all traditional men obsolete. He possesses the strength of nearly 100 humans and also happens to be emphatic about his liberal political leanings and obsessed with celebrity wardrobe malfunctions. After all these years, the Huffington Man is finally a reality, continued Baumgartner. And he has a fairly harsh critique of this season of Downton Abbey. According to Baumgartner, completion of the pieced-together man comes after numerous trials in Huffington Labs yielded mixed results. In 2008, the research team reportedly suffered a major setback when a similarly amassed being, which was composed of the fur and viscera of the worlds top 100 cutest animals, had to be put down after mauling four scientists. Baumgartner noted that his research team was again deeply disappointed in late 2011, when a precursor to the Huffington Man became despondent after catching a glimpse of his reflection in a mirror and subsequently tore his body apart. While Huffington and her scientists have hailed the new creature as a triumph, others have called the being an abomination and a dangerous precedent for the future of humankind. This savage behemoth does not belong in this world, said Dr. Lars Szab, a scientist who claimed to have once worked on the Huffington Man project before leaving on moral grounds in 2009. I warned themI warned them all that they were creating something unnatural and unforgivable that has no place among humanity. The aggregated man is a challenge to God himself! Szab added. It must be destroyed! At press time, the Huffington Man was reportedly on the loose after breaking free from his enclosure, snapping the body of a reporter against his knee, and escaping onto the Manhattan streets while shrieking about the increasing role of women in comedy. 
2	U.S. Pilots Bomb ISIS, Killing 40 Jihadists According to recent reports, the United States successfully targeted and destroyed an ISIS training camp in western Libyakilling more than 40 jihadists. Destruction of the camp and Chouchanes removal will eliminate an experienced facilitator and is expected to have an immediate impact on ISILs ability to facilitate its activities in Libya, including recruiting new ISIL members, establishing bases in Libya, and potentially planning external attacks on U.S. interests in the region, a statement released by the Pentagon states. Conservatives continue to argue that attacks like this should be done in bulk. Clearly, they offer success, but Obama is hesitant to take any major actions. Fortunately, this attack likely took out a militant who was linked to two deadly attacks in Tunisia last year. Noureddine Chouchane is believed to be responsible for two major attacks last yearone at the Sousse beach resort and another at the Tunis museum. What do you think? Do we need to increase the frequency of our attacks? 
2	Liberal Idiot Tries To Ruin Concert For Vets, Gets Quickly Aquatinted With Luke Bryans Fist [VIDEO] This week, country singer Luke Bryan performed at Nashvilles Bridgestone Arena as a part of Charlie Daniels 80th birthday all-star Volunteer Jama concert designed to raise money for military veterans. Things turned ugly from Bryan when a man in the front row walked up to Bryan and gave him the middle finger. The man probably didnt expect Bryan to stand up for himself. The country star reportedly yelled Come on, before punching the man. After a few moments, he went on with his performance. Rolling Stone later posted a statement from Bryans team: A man in (the) front row was making crude hand gestures toward Luke during his performance. It was insulting not only to him, but more importantly to the men, women and families sitting around him who were there to support and celebrate Charlie Daniels and the efforts of raising money for the military veterans some of who were in the audience. The concert security personnel saw the mans disruptive actions of the event and he was escorted out. Despite the impolite interruption, the night went onand the event was able to raise $240,000 for the Journey Home Project. 
2	Polls Show Obamas Ratings Are The Lowest Theyve Ever Been Obama may be in his last year of presidency, but that doesnt mean the trouble is over for him. According to recent reports, Obamas ratings have just dropped to the lowest theyve ever been following the administrations absurd response to recent terrorist attacks. The new ratings follow the shooting in San Bernardino, California. Americans throughout the country are not confident that the administration has American safety as a top priority, and as a result, they dont feel they are being protected. New polls reveal that only 55% of respondents feel they have a fair amount or a great deal of confidence that authorities could protect the country from further attacks. That represents a more than 12% drop since June, and is symbolic of the general sentiment the country feels to Obamas lackluster approach to a massive and growing problem. It also marks the lowest approval rating weve seen since the September 11 attacks in 2011. What do you think? Do we need Obama out of the White House now? 
2	Super Tuesday Numbers Are In The results from Super Tuesday are more important than ever this year, and from the results that have come in, one GOP candidate has strongly taken the lead. According to a new Rasmussen poll, 81% of Republican voters believe that Donald Trump will get the GOP nomination. In addition to that significant number, 45% of Republicans say it is very likely that Trump will win the nomination. This is a major jump from polls that were taken just a few weeks ago, when 71% of Republicans thought that Trump would get the nomination, and only 36% thought it was very likely. Those who didnt take Trump seriously in the beginning are quickly changing their tune, as the legendary businessman has maintained a strong lead from the first preliminary debate. What do you think? Will you vote for Trump? Do you believe he will take the presidency? 
3	Corporate Psychosis: Are You Exhibiting Symptoms?Bernie Suarez, Contributor So if a persons mental health is subjected to this psychosis criteria why not corporations? Here is an argument that (esp. large mega-size) Corporations have been getting by with operating under a very psychotic state which deserves more consideration. Corporations exhibit their brand of psychosis; corporate psychosis which is a danger to humanity our freedoms and liberties. Many large corporations operate under rules that induce behaviors that are reflective of human psychosis. Since in the opinion of the Supreme Court, corporations are humans and are entitled to 1st Amendment rights, it is therefore reasonable to apply the rules of psychology to corporations as we would to individuals. Why not? Corporations are made up of people whose mental status is measured by these definitions, so how then do people acting together in a business agreement escape the reality of these definitions? Its time to remove the smokescreen of (government and) large corporations exempting themselves from individual responsibilities, morals and mental health profile, while at the same time claiming human status only when its convenient (i.e. political campaign contribution limitations, etc). This attempt to sidestep responsibility and mental health is in itself a manifestation of a corporate psychosis which addresses the mental status of the (corporate) person. Corporate psychosis may be exhibited when large corporations make policies that are contrary to natural laws or things like the constitutional principles that guide American values and protect individual freedom. The values and freedoms being provided and protected belong to the people, and people make up corporations. Are corporations (like people) able to cope with the demands of everyday life in a reasonable manner without acting in ways that are counter-communicative or productive of unhealthy affective response? Does the way a corporation responds to the reality in front of them indicate a reality disconnect? Endorsing the idea that by getting enough people together in a business agreement, both makes you a human entity and conveniently allows you to circumvent behavioral and cognitive standards, is a (corporate) state of mind that is very fictional and dangerously disconnected from reality. We should then ask ourselves; if the corporate individual persons agree on a delusion, is the delusion no longer a delusion because they have a business agreement that binds them together for a common cause? If enough (corporate) people agree that abusing the poor is not wrong, or acting as mercenaries is not unethical, does that exonerate the perpetrators? Reflecting back on the definition of psychosis one important criteria is the ability to recognize reality; many mega-corporations fail to recognize the reality that surrounds them and instead act selfishly often upholding rules that are entirely unethical, unconstitutional, unfair to the individual, without sound human logic and without good reason. Without creating a long list of examples, suffice to say it is clear that we have all become psychotic to some degree if we believe that corporations are not only people, but that at the same time private corporations can operate above the law and subvert the very basic fundamentals of respect for human life, human dignity and the observance of respect for nature. Are you a victim of corporate psychosis? It is all around us today and the time is now to tear down the psychological safety wall we have allowed the mega-corporations to build in our minds. Corporations are run by people and none of the parties involved in corporate-implemented psychosis are exempt from individual responsibility. The time for accountability is now; and one way to begin this cleansing is by addressing and exposing all forms of criminal and psychotic behavior whether at the individual, corporate or government level. Since the Supreme Court has declared that corporations are people, then we need to take these patients into the psych ward for a full evaluation before they can be discharged back into the public. 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:
